The Class of '24 has a record of which to be proud. Ever sii1ce the memorable September morning in 1920 when we timidly stepped into high school to wre tle with Latin, Algebra, and English we have made history for the Blue and hite. Back in those freshman days we fondly recall weenie roasts, class partie and excursions to the city and country. As for athletics, there was no gymnasium at that time and our basketball team won only one game. A baseball team was organized and the class of '24 was well represented as it has been in all branches of athletics since. Our second year of school opened with more serious faces in evidence than the previous year. A few failures had sobered our members up a little and more studying was done. Mr. Carl Althaus coached basketball, and was very succes - ful. The team gained second place in both the county and district tournament . A track team was organized the following spring and as usual the team was made up of at least one third of the class of '24. The last two years of high school are always the ones filled with the most activities, social, scholastic and athletic. Several never-to-be-forgotten parties were held during the junior year. Among these were the Blue and hite party, and the Junior-Senior masquerade. Both were very succes ful and none like them have occurred since. What was said to be the best play ever staged by West Chicago High School students was presented by the class of 24 in pril, 1923. "That's That" was a comedy in three acts which was enjoyed by lar e crowds each_night it was presented. The Junior-Senior banquet fini hed off the season appropriately. The last year of school opened with the clas somewhat depleted in numbers but far from depleted in spirit. The football team had ten eniors in the lineup and there were seven seniors on the basketball squad, so the value of the class in the athletic branch of school life can easily be seen. A mighty tribute was paid the seniors by the lower classmen when they protested again t having 'the first five basketball men participate in the interclass tournament. It seems that they were very much afraid of being badly swamped by the honorable eniors consequently the senior second team gained only third place in the tournament with the plucky juniors in the initial berth. It has been generally admitted, however, that the seniors were the undisputed champs of the school as we have been every year a tournament was held. The senior class play, "Your Luck and Mine", was written expressly for our class by Jear,. Karr. This play, the basket­ ball banquet, and the Junior-Senior banquet were the closing "numbers' for the class of '24 in good old West High.

CHAS. w RD Class Historian CLASS w· ILL

CLA OF '24 CoRA BERNDT (Executor) un1ors• · JUNJOR CLASS HI TORY

The class of 1925 is one of the smallest that ever entered the portals of \\ e t Chicago High School, but what they have lacked in quantity they have made up in quality. Early in the year they elected Miss Peck as class advisor; Edward proat, president; Mary West, vice-president; and Edwin affenschmidt ec retary- treasurer. The first social event of the Junior year was a masked ball given in their honor by the Seniors. Later in the year the Juniors complimented the Seniors by gi - ing a party for them in the Lincoln gymnasium. The e ents now anticipated with greatest interest are the Junior play, "Peg o' my Heart", in ay, and the Junior-Senior banquet to be given with the proceed of this play. The class of 1925 for the first time in their history made a name for th m­ selves on the athletic field. Several of their numbers were out for football basket­ .ball, and track; and they were winners of the interclass basketball tournament for 1924. Mildred Haffron, Janice Daniels, and Edward Sproat s names have appeared on the monthly honor roll, with Mildred Haffron leading it several times. Carey Ward and Mildred Haffron managed a very successful Blue and White contest, selling over three hundred annuals. As you look over the various activities of the West Chi Hi you will no doubt notice that the Junior class has been represented on practically e ery project that has gone toward the building up of our school.

Page 25 SOPHOMORE LA HI TORY

On one September day back in 1922, a freshman clas the largest in the hi tory of West Chi Hi entered its doors. We soon became acquainted wi h our new surroundings, the year passed, and we returned to school a ain as ophomore . We decided the new freshman class was entirely too green o we re ol ed to do away with some of the greeness. We made good our resolution so n af er at the Lincoln Gym, much to the dismay of the freshmen. In athletics we were destined to tak~ a prominent part. Fi member of our class marched bravely forth each night to exhibit their skill as football pla ers before Coach ewman. One of this number John McFarland was awarded a letter at the end of the season. In basketball we covered ourselves with no little glory. John McFarland played regularly on the first team while Henry nder­ son, Auldon Richards, and Mervin Kline were on the second team squad. In the Rainbow Tournament our girls covered themselves with glory. 1 he 11- Tournament team, Laura Tinnes, Marian Carl Dorothy Madison iola Bancroft Mabel Wirsching, and Geraldine Singletary is made up entirely of ophomore . In scholarship we have also ranked with the best. Iarguerite Kee e and Bernice Fairbank have been on the honor roll every month since school tarted and several months a Sophomore has led the honor roll. Four members of our class play in the band, while three others play in the orchestra. It would be useless to try to enumerate all the accomplishments of the cla of '26, as they are too numerous. You can see the reason for our many achie e­ ments as out class is well stocked with first-class material in all its line of endea or. This concludes the history of the class of 1926, but prepare yourself to hear much more about us in the future, for we expect to do great things for,, e t Chi Hi.

ERVI BE SERT Class Secretary Page 27 FRESHMA CLA HI TORY

On the morning of September 10, fifty-eight young people coming from various outlying grammar schools, entered the West Chicago High chool as ' Fre hie Of this number fifty remain. We were cordially greeted and duly initiated by the ophomores after which we settled down to business and class politic . t our first meetin we el cted Miss Morris our class advisor; Conley 1illigan our president; and eor e Iur­ phy, vice-president. We also selected blue and silver for our colors. We are really a very bright and accomplished class, and ha e made a er good showing in all our school activities. In basketball and football onley Milligan and George Murphy hold positions on the second team while the mid et team is compo ed almost wholly of Freshman boys. In the girls' annual tournament, Genevieve Kennedy was placed a for ard on the second all-tournament team, and honorable mention wa gi en to several others of our cla s. Wendell Rohr, Helen Drath, Harold heahan Otto Schommer, • lizabeth l eltnor, and Harrison Thrapp play in the school orche tra or band, while many are member of the glee clubs. In scholarship, the Freshmen have had the lar est percentage of people n the monthly honor roll and have led it many times with the highe t avera ! We are certainly very grateful to all our teachers and especially to 1i Morris who helped to make our Freshman year o plea ant and our r enne but a part of school history, and we hope we shall all be together again n xt y ar. May the three succeeding years be as pleasant and profitable for th cla of '27 as this their first year has been!

Three of the cast be- cam ictims of clop but all were uccessful in overcoming it with the aid of heila Ru tumji, a Hindoo irl who was a friend of the Prescott family. The part of the addict w re v ry well done by orris Cain, Hazel Ketcham, and harles ard. a breezy n wspaper reporter Edward Heinz was "top-notch". rac Hen el made am st natural granny" of the old fashioned type and Frances r m r did the un u ual part of a frivolous old lady exceptionally well. Called upon at the la t moment to fill the place of one of the cast who was so unfortunate as t tak the mump , and with very little time in whkh to learn the part, John zer, a Dr. ollier proved himself a real actor.

FRESHMA -SOPHO IORE PARTY

The first social event of the season for lower classmen wa a party given th Freshmen by the Sophomores. According to custom the Freshie wer initiated at this time. The Freshmen assembled early with much excitement and a wee bit of fear as to the treatment they might receive at the hands of tho e horrid, rough ph- omores. They were blind folded, and one at a time made to go through a eri of terrifying experiences; an electric shock, a whiff of hydro en ulphide a d of red pepper and castor oil, and a climb to the top of a shak ladder. 11 ur- vived, however, without serious injury. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing games, after which lunch was served. The tired and weary children departed oon after thi for it -v a long past their bedtime.

Judge Steffen of Chicago, twice elected on the 11- m rican Football team, and Coach Oswald of Mooseheart were the principal peaker of the evening. Both men are football enthusiasts and av some ery intere t­ ing facts about the game. Haffron's orchestra furnished music throughout the evening.

Th vening of eptember IO 1923 ten veterans and sixteen recruits donned the m le kin f r the opening practice of West Chicago's second year of football. La t ar' team had b en a dismal failure as far as winning games was con- cern d but under the xcell nt guidance of Coach ewman the team had worked dilig ntl all through the s ason with the result that those who returned for the 1 24 sea on re fairly well versed in the fundamentals of football and had also ain d n ar experi nc . So it was that the season of '23 laid the foundation for h brilliant achie ements of the past year in which 7 games were won, I lost and I ti d i in a p rcentage of. 75. lthough the champion hip was lost by mar in \ e t hicago can truthfully ay that at the end of the season had perfect d a team equalled by none in the West Suburban

and White, displaying the best mote points were added. The las.t five minutes the seconds were run in and York­ ville coined their only points. October 27, Des Plaines, the only team to defeat York tackled est Chica o here and, although they were one of the strongest teams of the conference were humiliated by a score of 46 to o. Everything seemed to break right for the Blue and hite that day. Thre touchdowns were registered in the first half but not content with this the horn crew added four more, the last period. Only once did aine threaten but in- ability to catch passes prevented them from scoring. The fact that Maine later beat York and Downers Gro e oes to how the real strength of West Chicago at this time. Downers Grove was the next opposition and due to a ea of mud nearly de­ feated the Blue and White. West Chicago started off strong and scored a touchdown the first quarter but Downers over-shadowed this by doing likewise on a fumbled kick. The goal was also kicked, putting Downers ahead 7 to 6. The third quarter Down r again scored, but in the fourth the Blue and White b ~ a desperate rail tied it at 13 all. Still fighting they plunged to the one yard line only to have the whistl blow, ending the game. One second more and the Blue and hite would have tied for the Conference Championship. On a dry field West Chicago would have swamped Downers as York beat them, 58 to o, and Maine topped them 30 to o. The two final games of the season found West Chicago u ing a pas in attack which was very effective. ovember 10 the team traveled to Hinsdale to tuck another ictory und r their belt, 20 to 6. As usual the first quarter netted its one touchdown, but the scoring then ended for that half. The second half the Blue and hite opened up their passing attack and the combination of "Ward to Fox ' re ulted direct! in one touchdown while it brought the ball into position for the :fina 1 core by Cain. Hinsdale shoved over their only touchdown in th final quarter. Thi was perhaps the roughest game of the year and left the Blue and hi e womewhat banged up for the final game. Glenbard came here November 16 and nearly provided an upset for the local but head work saved the day. West Chicago kicked off to Glenbard's right half back who by ome mean broke through for a 80 yard run ending in a touchdown. core 7 to o. Durin the remainder of the quarter the Blue and White tried in vain to o ere me hi lead. The second quarter Ward opened up with passes to Fox which brou ht the first touchdown, tying the score 7 all. With only a few minute remainin the Blue and White again rushed the ball toward the goal. \i\ ithin a yard of oal time out was taken as only 2 seconds remained, but thi gave time to start th . play and the whistle could not be blown until play stopped and the ball was ho d over. The second half neither team scored although \ e t Chica o had he be t of the battle 13 to 7. This last game wrote finis to the high school careers of ten of the ele en r - ulars and it was with genuine regret that they doffed the mole kins f r the la t time. It is a splendid record of victories and sportsmanship they lea e behin for future teams to aim ·at and the team of the year 1924 will no oon be f r Otten.

NEXT YEAR'S PROSPECT

Although ten regulars graduate, prospects for the coming year look exceedin ly bright. Lacking somewhat in experience they will be Ii htly handicapp d but a heavy line and a fast backfield will offset this con iderably. t thi time i is not known whether Coach Newman will be back but if he returns the ch ol can be assured 'of the best of coaching.

\ est Chicago's basketball outlook was exceedin ly bri ht at the openin f the year, as about twenty players reported for practice. mon the h who had had one year's experience on the first or second team . These ei ht men Ward, Cain, Fox, McFarland, Roundy Costello ~ IcQuade, and R up made up the regular squad for the 1924 season. Their record i one to be pr ud of and one which has not been equalled by a \Ve t Chica o team in many ear . West Chicago opened their basketball sea on December 7 a ain t Batavia one of the strongest teams in the state. The Blue and \Vhite fou ht hard but were unable to stem the tide of baskets of the Bata ia veteran and lo t the battl by a score of 2 to 12. The Blue and White's next game was the opening of the \\Te t uburban n- ference. Hinsdale was defeated after a desperate battle. either ide wa able to hold the lead for any length of time but victory eemed a ur d wh n v - t Chi was leading with a minute to go. Hinsdale' center spilled th dope how er with a long shot. In the overtime period both team fought to the limit but the Blue and White squeezed out ahead by two point and Hin dal went h me in gloom. The next game was at Downers Grove and the \Ve t Chica o lad a1n victorious. Roundy was the outstanding performer with even ba ket and a free throw. The Blue and White gave a wonderful exhibition of t am w rk and had Downers bewildered at all times. The final score wa 29 to 16, but it do not indicate the superiority of the winners. The following week the Blue and White had their hope badly crush d 21 to I 2 at York. The large and slippery floor handicapped the work of\ e t hi but they were also off in all departments of the game. York had thre ix f ter who had an uncanny knack of dropping in long shot from anywher on the ft r. This defeat dropped the Blue and White from the Conference lead. aine Township High, a new school in the Conference wa the next opp n nt and the Blue and White again captured the long end of the 22 to 15 core. ame had a scrappy outfit, but were unable to get by the e t Chica o uard while \\ ard dropped in five pretty baskets to take care of the offen i e part. v e Chicago took the lead at the start and from then on kept a afe di tance in ad ance of the Maine tossers. West Chicago's next game wa at home when Glenbard wa forced to uff r, 37 to 19. The Blue and White started strong, and with plendid team work time and again carried the ball to the basket for scores. We t Chicago howed a cla attack, which had they been able to sustain throughout the year would hav carried them to the top of the ranks. Glenbard althou h completely outcla ed fought with real spirit, never ceasing to attempt to o ercome the large lead. The following night the West Chicago lads traveled to DeKalb for a with the Big Seven school of that city. This wa one of the reate t am f the year and was won by the Blue and White, 27 to 26. The two team fou ht desperately, first one leading and then the other. A minute before the end DeKalb was leading by one point, but Fox dropped in a long hot and the ame wa n ended. Hinsdale took us into camp the next week by a 26 to 11 count. The Blu and hite tossers seemed decidedly lost on the large floor and \J ere able to furni h little opposition.

PSALM OF A FORD The Ford is my car, I hall not want another, It make th me to lie. down in wet place , It leadeth me in deep waters; It soileth my soul; .

FAVORITE FOOD The orator ea ts tongue, we hear; The Sultan turkey lunch; The undertaker drinks his bier; The pugilist, hi punch; The acrobats spring water drink; The banqueteer eats toa t; Shoemakers have fi let of sole; The printer, pie and sweets; The hungry actor eats his role; Policeman munch their beats.

WHEN JOKES WERE E\ Whatever troubles Adam had, No man in days of yore, Could say when he had told a joke, I've heard that one before.
