Understanding  yonr  Sckool
The commercial Department of Huntley High School offers four semester of Gregg Shorehand, four Semesters of typewriting, two of bookkepping. One year of typing is enough for personal use and two makes it ptossible to take a posit¬ ion as an office typist. The typing department is well equipped with twenty-three typewriters, twelve Royals, six L. C. Smiths, and five Underwoods. About five machines are traded in each year which keeps our machines up-to-date; five new Underwoods were bought for tbe department this year, one of tHcae was an electric typewri¬ ter.
We teach the Functional Method of shorthand in which the mem^ bers of the claas learn to read well befor  attempting   to  write.   The
first six weeks are spent in doing much reading and then we l>egin to wright. This method is much more interesting and gets better results than the older method of learning to read and wright from the beginning. Four semesters of shorthand prepare the student^ for an office position. This year we hope to do some work with of¬ fice machines in the fourth semes¬ ter shorthand class.
Our bookkeeping text, 20th Cen¬ tury Bookkeeping and Accounting 2ist edition, gives a good prepara¬ tion for work as a bookkeeper or for coUege accounting. Twenty-six seniors registered for bookkeeping this year and there are twenty- eight in the beginning typing classes.
Redskins   Beat fiekron   33-0
The Huntley Redskins, ufcider the able coaching of Harold An¬ dersen, rolled over Hebron last Friday night, Sept. 23. All togeth¬ er Huntley racked up 410 yards against Hebrons" 70 yards. In, an oi«Wai7 '^ame «W'fo''2dD'<^^ be normal.A ccording to Coach Andersen, the boys played a very good game, but Hebron was not a very forceful foe. Everyone on the team got to play.
There were five touch downs. The-first one was made on a 70 yard drive from Huntley's 30 yard line. The touchdown was made in 10 plays byBo b MUler, Huntleys left halfback. Miller made the touchdown off the left tackle on a Une smash and ran 30 yards to the touchdown, after which Bruce Wel)er went over for the extra point. This first touchdown was interesting because Huntley re¬ ceived the ball on a penalty after they had kicked off to Hebron. Huntley was short of a first down by about 6 yards, and with the Hebron pelaty of 15 yards for roughing the kicker, they received . the first down which eventually led to the touchdown.
The second touchdown was made on a line play off tackle and was made by Bruce Weber. The extra ROint was missed. The third touch down was also made by Bruce Weber, who ran 70 yards to the goal line. The extra point was scored by Bob Miller. Larry Kahl made the fourth touchdown on a plunge from the 2 yard line. The extra point was again scored by Miller. The last touchdown was scored again by Bruce Weber on a play which went around the end. On both the 4th and 5th touch¬ downs, Bob MiUer ran the baU 30 yards or better, setting Cip Kahl and Weber to make the touch¬ downs. A 6th touchdown was al¬ most made by Cliff MlUer, who intercepted a pass and -ran 45 yards and crossed the goal How¬ ever, the play was nulified be¬ cause of penalties on both the Huntley and Hebron teams. Hunt¬ ley was offside and Hebron was caUed for unnecessary roughness.
There were nine penalties in the first half. Four /were against Huntley ami 5 against Hebron. During the second half there was only one penalty called against Huntley, the (me which called back the touchdown.
According to COadi Andersen, the ball handling in this game was much better as was the blocking and the tlefenses. Coach Ander¬ sen cinnmended Larry Kahl, Cliff Miller, and Stan Hennii« fpr their fine defensive performances they
put on last Friday night and -said that Bud Borchart looked much better as fullback. In comparing this game to the Richmond game of the week before, he said that the boys had learned quite a bit and were ready for the game. He went on to say that Terry Hen- ning's centering was greatly im¬ proved. In all he says that he is very pleased with the boys' per¬ formance, but th^:^iaiotrta hot get overconfident because Hebron's team was one of the easier ones which they will play this season.
The number of people who at¬ tended the game is not knowi^ however, $162.22 was taken in at the gate for general admissions. Last year during the entire sea¬ son, approximately $160 was taken in.
The concession stand, handled by the H-Quba nd the GAA girls, almost sold out of everything they had Friday night to the record breaking crowd.
During weeks to comci, Coadi Andersen has set up some prac¬ tice scrinrimages with other schools and some games in which he wUl use his reserves exclusively. Coach Andersen says that this is all part of a long range program so that future Huntley teams wiU be top notch.
The next game wiU be tomorrow night at Genoa. The next home game will be Oct. 7 against Kirk¬ land.
