them through this final year of their attendance at the fair were General Hayes,
Captain Leszczewicz, Master Sergeant Gereaux, and Sergeant Wertz.
The Pilgrim boys were exceptionally skillful in two types of contests that
found great merit in the eyes of the persons at the fair: the first, running with an
oblate spheroid against eleven adversaries; the second, throwing a large ball
through a small net suspended from a metal hoop In the first type of contest, the
Bradley fair team was unvanquished; in the second, the group covered itself with
great honor by winning a game in the Great Carnival held some eighty miles
south of Bradley.

MUSIC HIGHLIGHTS
For a number of years, it has been evident that, each year, music
was becoming increasingly important in the activities of Bradley
High School. Each year new activities have been entered, new
honors have been won, and new fields have been explored; and
during the 1949-50 school year an entirely new peak in musical
accomplishment was reached. This year, when we also moved into
our new school building, we had our first full-time music director;
and, in addition to the choral groups already organized, the Bradley
High School band grew from seven members at the beginning of
school to forty-five members by the end of the year.
The band made periodic public appearances at the football games,
and opened most of them with the playing of the "Star Spangled
Banner." Then, during our annual Homecoming Game, we went all
out while the band and the Girls' Physical Education Department
provided a variety of entertainment for the Homecoming fans.
An o th er n ew and differen t even t was the 1949 Christmas program. In stead o f th e custo mary Ch ristmas choral concert, the
b and an d th e cho ru ses, to geth er with th e Speech Department, presented "Th e Christmas Story," a p ageant in pantomime and son g.
So me interestin g an d un usual effects were achieved.
All members of the Music Department participated in the annual
Kankakee Valley Music Festival, which was held at the Momence
High School. The Regional Music Contest, in which the Girls'
Chorus was entered, was held at Champaign, on March 25.

DISTRICT SPEECH CONTEST
This year's District Speech Contest'was held at the Milford High
School on February 25, 1950. Six of the speech events were entered
by students of Bradley High School. By winning a total of 26 points,
Bradley was rated first over all the schools entered in the contest.
Our school was represented by Marilyn Kerr, whose serious reading, "In Rebecca's Room," won first place. Nancy Jo Helmer, who,
with the comedy reading "Green Pastures," gained a second place
rating; Tom Hale, who got second place with an oratorical declamation, "Common Sense," and first place with his original oration,
"Super Bomb—Salvation or Destruction." Nancy Helmer also received a second place rating in verse speaking.
All participants who gain a first—or second-place rating in the
District Contest are eligible to compete in the Sectional meet at
Pontiac on March 11. In order to be represented at the State finals
in May, a first or second place must be secured at the Sectional
Contest.
Schools which were represented at the District Speech Contest
at Milford were Bradley, Chebanse, Clifton, Gi7ison City, Loda,
Onarga, Paxton, St. Anne, and Sheldon. At the Sectional Contest in
Pontiac, were the first and second place winners from the District
meets held at Milford, Mendota, Dwight, and West Aurora.
All the dramatic and speech entrants from Bradley were coached by Miss
Agnes Stelter.

HOMECOMING DANCE
Homecomings are always—and will ever be—joyous occasions. Nothing else
in the world can produce such a warmth of fellowship and good humor as meeting
again with those friends of last year, ten years ago, or even longer. There is
always the ever-present nostalgia to be reconciled with a fast-changing and a fastmoving world. We all like homecomings.
Queen Autumn was still on her throne—and was a joy to behold—when, on
November 28, the second Annual Homecoming Dance of Bradley High School
came to reality. Boys and girls had been busy for several days decorating the gym
for the occasion. Everyone—faculty, students, and alumni—looked forward to that
special night of all special nights. No one was disappointed in the festivities;
everyone went away smiling and happy.
Laughing lads and lovely lassies chatted and joked with old acquaintances and
then swirled away to the very danceable strains of Earl Betourne's orchestra.
Memories of years past and days present were yet piling one upon the other when
the hour arrived for some lucky girl to become Homecoming Queen. As the
orchestra played softly, the young ladies and young men, fully dressed for such an
event, began the processional march to the throne. Dolores Bisping, Jacqueline
Gustin, Violet Keagle, Elaine Pilcher, and Carolyn Renfro, each accompanied by a
member of this year's football team, glided gracefully across the floor to their
chosen spots. Then, strikingly beautiful in a snow white gown, came Joyce
Anderson, our Homecoming Queen of 1949. One could almost see her shiver with
delight as the crown was placed upon her head by Jacqueline Gustin, Homecoming
Queen of 1948. A thrill of a lifetime was packed into that one moment. Certainly
she must' have felt the good wishes of everyone present, because admiring glances
and voiced congratulations were quick to come to the lovely queen.
The dancing which followed may have been an anti-climax, but that kept no
one from enjoying himself. The big event of the evening was past; but fun and
frolic continued, and ripples of laughter followed in the wake of the swirling
couples.
There comes a time, however, when delights must be laid aside. As the hour
of midnight, and parting, approached, one could hear drawn-out and belated farewells, but always with the parting reminder, "Let's all come back next year."

FOOTBALL
With the football equipment packed and stored for another
season, the Bradley gridders and Coach Ralph Wagner can look back
over their 1949 season with justifiable pride. Not only did the team
complete an undefeated season and take their second consecutive
Kankakee Valley Championship, but, as they coasted to nine straight
victories, the mighty Boilermakers led all state teams in scoring by
rolling up an amazing total of 308 points to their opponents' 27. The
308 points scored is also a record for points scored by a Bradley
team in one season.
The bruising Boilermakers opened the season b y rolling over
Crete to the tune of 26-0 in their only day game o f th e campaign.
The following week the Boilermakers pleased a ho me cro wd b y
running roughshod over St. Anne, 38-6. This year's Boilermakers
established a preced ent when they became the first Bradley team
ever to defeat Lo ckport. The K. V. C. champ s overcame several
early penlaties to down the Porters 26-7.
Most of the first string relaxed the fo llo wing week d uring a
53-7 rout of Wilmington. An underdog Reddick team gave our
regulars a rugged fight in our 27-0 victory o ver the Bulldogs. The
sweetest victory o f the year was the 19-7 win over a powerful
Rantoul eleven.
Fro m this point on, the Boilermakers, finishing their season at
home, coasted to three successive victories. The "Redskins" o f
Momence were scalped 28-0, a good Dwight eleven was do wned
61-0, and St. Pats was defeated 33-G.
A banquet was held after the season ended and Coach Wagner
presented major letter awards. Those who received their final
football letters at Bradley High are: Ed Hayes, John Leszczewicz,
Ralph Marcotte, Marvin Gereaux, John Wilkins, Ralph Palmer,
Orville Hoffman, Charles Pierson, Joe Wertz, Jack Thaden, and
Gerald Decker. Other squad members who received letters were:
Dee Sando, Dick Burkhalter, Ralph Boggs, Hank Wilkins, Roy
Bressner, Ronald Tousignant, Milt Pattengale, Leon Marlaire, Ronald Dusenbury, and Jim Topliff. Manager letters were awarded to
Jerry Kohan and Leonard V aughan.

Because of our small enrollment and by virtue of their being victors over
larger schools as. Kankakee, Calumet City, B lue Island, B loom, Joliet Catholic,
Peoria Woodruff, Danville, Kewanee, West Aurora and Johnston City, the Boilermakers were known as the "Giant Killers" in basketball circles throughout the
state.

The let-down suffered in the Paris game was noticeable throughout the next
few games and the complete let-down came when the St. Anne Cardinals dumped
the Red and Whi e out of he running for the conference title. After that,
however, the Boilermakers began to climb and they reached their peak during
tournament time.

Here the trail ended! The string had run out! Danville, the team that went on

When the final gun sounded, marking the finish of the quarterfinals in the State Basketball Tournament, our season on the
hardwood officially ended. There was still a bit of shouting left and
the usual recuperation period remained; but, for the most part, we

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY
Most famous authors at one time or another get around to writing an autobiography. I had already started writing, in my own unsurpassed style, my historical
manuscript, had completed the years spent in grade school, and had finally arrived at
the never-to-be-forgotten high school years. What pleasant memories! (They were
just memories.) Remember the time when . . . Well, let's not go into that; for I could
undoubtedly write an umpteen zillion word composition that would hold your
complete attention for hours on end.

nears, I picked up an old bone and began to gnaw on it as I looked through my huge
library and files. I selected copies of "Who's Who," "The Hobo News," "Screen
Stars," "Sports Afield," "Plant and Animal Life," "The Police Gazette," "The Music
Critic," old newspapers, and unopened fan mail (well, it was mail anyway), and began
my search for my old classmates.
I first opened the "Whos Who" and came across the familiar name of MARVIN
GEREAUX. I found that "Moose" has followed up his fine Chemistry grades and has
become the leading scientist and inventor in America. He is tabbed as "the second
Edison." Marvin's greatest contribution to science is a pillow stuffed with shredded
wheat for people who like to have breakfast in bed. At present he is working
