HRQT HERS Mr. Brothers, who has been superin- tendent of the Dwight High School for thirty years, received his education at the Northern Illinois State Teachers College. He also attended Lake Forest University, Lake Forest, Illinois, and it was here that he earned his AB. de- gree. Several years ago, he received his Master's degree from Columbia Uni- versity, New York. Under his administration, our public school system has made outstanding strides. Today our schools are recog- nized as being among the finest in the state for a town the size of Dwight.

GEORGE IREISVVANGER George lleiswanger, a janitor at the high school for ten years, is no longer seen about. He became ill a year ago last August and was unable to continue his work. George had always been more than just another employee. While at the school, he was everyonels friend and was usually ready with a bit of advice to help students keep out of mischief. Not only was he efficient at his workg he was also willing to take time for little chats with the students. He knew more about the school and its occupants than anyone else, and the choicest of scoops might be coaxed from him if he were in just the right mood. g It is the sincere belief of the Rudder Staff that all of the students really miss the amiable personality of George. We wish to take this opportunity to promul- gate that belief and to inform George that we are all with him one hundred per cent and are hoping that before long heyll be up-and-at-'em, operating on that typical Beiswanger full scale program.

Applications for positions on this staff were submitted by the students, and then the class elected the editor-in-chief and business man- ager. This year these positions were filled by Norma Kepplinger and Earl Kime, respectively. In the editorial department, the following students have helped to prepare the written material: john Flint, Arthur Epstein, Rita Steichen, Wilma Steven- son, Marjorie Smith, Carolyne VVyllie, and Mary Baker. Students who have taken care of the business work are Bette Feddersen, jack VVelch, Lavern Steven- son, Jane Lewis, Mary jane McConnell, and Mary DeVore. camera editor, was in charge of collecting snapshots Edmunds and Thomas VViemken.

This club publishes f'The Trojan News, the high school's bi-weekly newspaper, under the supervision of Miss Hunter and Miss Dooley. This year the following students worked on the staff of the paper: Editor- in-chief, Mary Baker: assistant editor, Mary ,lane McConnell: feature editor, Rita Steichen: sports editor, ,Tack VVelchg exchange editor, Vtfilma Stevenson, advertising manager, Bob McClelland, business manager, Dorothy Saville: copy readers, Georgianna Kamm and Marjorie Smith, art editors, Betty Pierce, Lavern Stevenson, and Harry Laubhan. The other members of the club helped the staff in their work by acting as reporters. The scribblers charged five cents a copy for The Trojan News, or thirty- five cents for semester subscriptions. They tried to find new ways to make the paper interesting and to present the latest scoops in good style. Evidently the students felt that it was well worth the cost, for many issues were sold and the year was a successful one. All of the profits from this publication was used to purchase new equipment and books to aid in the improvement of the efficiency in the setting up of the paper. -A'l'1'l'7l SENIOR COMMERCIAL CLUB Sponsor: Miss Dooley ' President ................ .............

Lavern Stevenson All of the students who were interested in the business world ioined the Senior Commercial Club, through which they were given a few extra suggestions which time did not allow to be taught during the typing and shorthand periods. Throughout the year, several programs, consisting of talks on the qualities of good secretaries and their duties in ofhces, were given. On Patron's Day, a demonstration by a typewriting company was spon- sored by the club. Mary Davis and Lavern Stevenson served as chairman of the committees during the year. Eudora Santacroce, loan Williams, Norma Kepplinger and Leo Doran took part in the programs which were presented for the betterment of the club members. Betty Pierce demonstrated the method of operation and the uses of the mimeoscope to the members of the club. A show was sponsored, and the profit was used to buy pins for those mem- bers of the club who met certain qualifications in speed and accuracy in typing Htteen-minute speed tests. JUNIOR COMMERCIAL CLUB Sponsor:Mr.Haegele President ...................................... Robert Drew Vice-President ................,....... Peggy Goodman Secretary-Treasurer ............ Margaret VVeldon Forty students became members of the Junior Commercial Club at the nrst meeting. Only those pupils who are beginners in commercial work had the privilege of belonging to the club. Each program was carefully planned and presented by the members of the club.- Robert Drew very capably presided over each meeting. Although the methods used in parliamentary procedure were new to him, the experience gained as a leader of the club will undoubtedly be a great benefit to him. It is the purpose of the club to aid the members in understanding and appre- ciating the opportunities offered them in commercial work, and to supplement their class work with social activities which will be valuable to them when they leave school. A party and dance was given on the twenty--eighth of March. This was the only social affair of the year and each member of the club was entitled to take a guest.

They attended two play days, one in Recl- dick and one in Kankakee. During the winter months, the girls enjoyed socker, volley ball, basketball, baseball, tennis and tumbling. As soon as the weather permitted, they took hikes, working for their awards. They had a spring play day and invited schools to join them. A candle light installation of next year's officers was carried out at the close of the school year.

The program consisted of many kinds of dancing: tap, character, and interpretive. The entire theme was carried out in the toy shop manner. However, these girls did carry on under a great handicap as their pianist, Patricia Waters, became ill, and it was difficult to find another to devote her time to their practice. Mary Jane Komorowski, a graduate of last year, kindly con- sented to accompany them. Candle light installation was held in the spring for the new officers.

Front-James A. Zappa, Bob Davy. When football practice began in September, there were six returning lettermen. These boys were Donald Sodini, Laurence McConnell, Caruso Riccolo, Ray Mathisen, Hob McClel- land, and Robert Drew. As the season progressed, Drew, Mathisen, and McClelland were injured, and Dwight was thus prevented from having an experienced team on the field. . However, the battling Trojans were able to notch two wins, one tie, and four losses. In- cidentally, three of these losses could have been easily turned into wins by an added touch- down. Lavern Stevenson and Bob McClelland were selected as co-captains and both turned in some good head work. Dwight opened their football season on Friday, September 13, at Yvlatseka. The Dwight team that went on the field was very small, being outweighed about twenty pounds to the man, but the backfield had some very fast runners, especially in Houberg and F. Riccolo. Soon after the game started, Vlatseka gave a wonderful exhibition of blocking, running, passing, and line play to scor touc owns in rapid ssion. Dwight then took stock of the situation and immediate ' art goal line drive, ich ended with Caruso Riccolo's going over for the score. D 1 . .ver Qain abl to score, while VY:-ttseka pushed across two more tallies. The .core s 24-7 in favor NYatseka. A heartbreaking blow to Dwight came in the second quarter when Ray Mathisen, a brilliant tackle, received a back injury which kept him out for the rest of -the football season. In the third period, Bob Drew, veteran tackle, also received a back injury which kept him out of the lineup for a few games. Normal Community provided t - rst opposition Dwight on their home field. Dwight again went down in defeat by a s r f 6-0. Beca the injuries to some of the Dwight players, the Dwight lineup neces W a clQ1ge, ' fact caused the whole game to be below par, but the regulars who p in this gam - wed vast improvement.

A large play of both teams. Also of goo f s to Dwight wers was the return of Bob Drew to the lineup. Bob had been recuperating from an injury received in the Watseka game. . Friday, October 11, was Homecoming day for the Trojans. Dwight went on the field w1th a grim determination to make this the first win, and immediately after the start of the game, they put their determina ' into actical use. U shing a blitzkreig, featuring the Riccolo brothers and Bode La mhan, ight scored f n points before Fairbury knew what had happened. Frankie R col d onhtouc and Caruso Riccolo the other. Bode Laubhan caught a perf pass m Caruso fo r ' extra point, and Frankie went through the line for the other. The second half was very slow, and when the game ended, Dwight was on the big end of a 14-0 score. An added feature of this game was the exhibition given by the High School Band and the High School Tumbling Team. Dwight played their first night game of the season at Yorkville. But the lights had no effect on Dwight's vastly improved machine, because they snowed Yorkville under by a score of 20-0. Immediately after the opening kick-off, Caruso Riccolo carried the ball to the one- yard line, where he fell on th er 1 und. From - brother Frank carried it over. After again getting possession h Q Dwi ht im ely started to roll toward the Yorkville goal. Frankie Ricc n - loosion a .9 d end run to score the second touchdown of the day for Dwig . ln t - third period, Leroy Houberg scored Dwight's final touchdown on a nice run. The extra point attempt was also good. When the final gun went off, Dwight had beaten Yorkville by a 20-0 score. Bradley proved too much for Dwight in a tight scoring battle played at Oughton Field on October 25. Bradley had not been scored upon up to this time, but Dwight gave no heed to this fact. After getting posse f the ball, rojans moved down the field in a rapid succession of gains. Caruso ccolo went o r the touchdown. The next two periods, neither team was able to n an aR1nta te in the fourth quarter, Bradley took advantage of the tiring Dwi team, and score after a series of line plays. Their extra point attempt was good, and they were victorious in a hard fought game by a score of 7-6. In their seventh game o he se n, Dwight was ain d ated, this time by Sandwich.

The game ended with Dw1ght's trying desperately to score via the air, but Sand- wich was out in front by a 20-13 score. Although it was freezing weather, a large crowd attended the night game between Pontiac and Dwight on November 13. Pontiac drew the first blood by scoring early in the Hrst quarter. Dwight retaliated quickly, going the length of the Held to have Bob 1XlcCelland plunge for the touchdown. Pontiac came back with another touchdown and extra point. This in turn was followed not Pontiac touc a . ' tra point, which made the score 21-7.

Riccolo threw a thirty- yard pass to Bode Laubhan, who went across the goal line standing up, At this time, Warren Savage was given the hall in an attempt for the extra point. This was the first time that VVarren had ever carried the ball in his high school career, and his attempt was good. The game ended before any more scoring was done, and Pontiac was the winner by a 21-20 margin. At the close of the season, the blocking-back of the team, VYarren Savage, was selected as the most valuable member of the team. VVarren is one of the best football players ever to don a Dwight football uniform, and is very deserving of the honor. -nine SCHEDULE AS ETBAL Besides playing the regular nineteen-game schedule, Dwight participated in three tourna- ments. They started with the Pontiac Holiday Tournament, The first team they met was York of Elmhurst, who defeated them 33-24. Then they played Normal Community for the consolation prize and were again defeated 37-35. The next tournament was the Northeastern Conference held at Coal City. l3raidwood defeated them in the preliminaries 32-27 after a hard fought game. They also participated in the Regional Tournament held at Dwight. They defeated Hersher in the first game 39-35.

After three successful seasons, in which the Trojans were able to administer at least twenty defeats per year, they were forced into a reversal of this form. and, as the season ended. the record showed them with a standing of eight wins and sixteen losses. Prospects at the beginning of the season looked bright, but before long it was dimmed by the faet that their potential scorer, Ray Mathisen, would not be able to participate. Also at the end of the tirst semester, because of ineligibility. they lost llrady Vvilder, their hard lighting center. Although lacking in height and weight, the Trojans many times were out shot, but never out played. For the first time in many years they had to con- cede weight and size to the opposition in almost every occasion. The light weights have a capable squad and did very well for themselves. winning all but four games. Page Filly-two TUMBLING TEAM - Sponsor: Mr. Jones President ....................................

Marilyn Christman This popular group spends its Monday evenings practicing floor acrobatics, as well as daring stunts on the trapeze and rings. This year they had a new instructor, Mr. Jones, and they really accomplished a great deal under his super- vision. They were slightly handicapped because of the fact that they lost ten old members. The twelve new members proved to be very industrious, and, as a result, the group was very progressive. The squad exhibited their skill and dar- ing before large audiences at several of the football and basketball games. All of the members took part in the Physical Education Exhibit, the Regional Tour- nament, and the Patron's Day program. This year, they had a little trouble keeping a president. LeRoy Miller and Junior Sparrow served, respectively, for but a short time. LeRoy moved away, and junior did not stay in school. Ralph Jensen, a member of the squad for live years, was then elected to fill the vacancy left by Junior.

Initiation of the new members was very amusing this year. The main requirement was that of playing basketball for about five minutes in pajamas, using a football instead of a basketball. Among the outstanding activities of the club is the presentation of a Most Valuable Playern award to the outstanding football and basketball players. Warren Savage and LeRoy Houberg were chosen respectively. Members are also active in the acquiring of funds for the athletic treasury.

Page Fzfly-nine CLASS PROPHECY V lt's strange the way a person loses track of the friends he knew throughout his high school days. Twenty years ago I graduated with as fine a class as any one could hope to iind anywhere, but up until yesterday, I had lost track of many of my classmates. Since my graduation, I've been teaching in the School for Saucy Skirts, a very exclusive finishing school for girls, which is run by Mary DeVore and Mary Jane McConnell. Marjorie McCambridge is the English teacher here, and yesterday one of her students brought one of the new Chicago papers to class. We were very pleased to note that lack Welch is the publisher of this shady sheet, the t'Chicago Star and Herald. The circulation manager is James Zappa, and Dorothy Drew is in charge of the rotogravure section. We noticed that Betty Pierce, the fashion editor, recommends the latest creations by Blanche Christensen, which may be purchased at Bernice Worbyls shop. And, of course, we were most interested in the headlines which told of the lawsuit involving Bob McClelland, an executive on the Bradley and Odell Railroad line. The District Attorney is John Flint. He believes that everyone has enough power now, and no advances should be made in any direction. Another front page article praised the marvelous discovery of Professor Bush. It is rumored that he has perfected an engine that can run on water alone. It is believed that this will revolutionize industry, and the famed Dare-Devil Bunting will put the engine through the most dangerous of tests. The manufac- turers of Rolls Easy Autos, Savage and VViemken, are trying to procure first rights for this new engine. V Tn the field of national defense for VVorld War TH, we read that Secretary of Navy Wilder has announced the promotion of Rear Admiral Prindiville to the post of Under-Secretary. For outstanding bravery, First Lieutenant VVilliams has been decorated with an impressive badge, and Mike Phelan, the dashing leader of the Marine's Suicide Squadron, has entered a plea for more volunteers. Turning from the front page, we found a picture of some girls who looked familiar. Qn closer inspection, we found that they were Elaine Christman, Jane Lewis, and Eloise Kutz, who are nurses of the famed Strong sextuplets. The story accompanying the picture mentioned that Dr. Call, who is supervising the children, has chosen Bette Feddersen and Wilma Stevenson as their governesses. These girls are famed for their work in child psychology. Reading along further, we saw an article on President Riccolo's latest Parlor Prattle in which he discussed the farm problem. He and Secretary of Agricul- ture Kohrt, are trying to work out a plan whereby each cornstalk will produce only one ear. This would do away with the doing away of over production and thus speed recovery. President Riccolo praised the research, which is being carried on by the Star and Herald's experimental farm, which is located near Dwight.

This book has been a best-seller for the month. There was also an article on Glenda and Dorina, those famed radio personalities, whom we had known as Marjorie Smith and Joan VVilliams. Vile had located over half of our class and decided to try to find what had happened to the rest of them. Although neither of us are particularly interested in sports, we decided to try the Sports Section and see what it might offer. XValter Gossreau is in charge of the editing of sports and he made the startling announcement that the Great Houberg had finally agreed to accept a position as fielder for the White Anklets Team, which is now managed by Ralph hlensen. Then, becoming tired of news of international affairs and sports, we glanced through the Social Slander which is written by Carolyne VVyllie. This stated that Norma Kepplinger, G. M. G.'s leading star, was seen in the new 5l', club with Earl Kime, one of the more prominent members of Floor Street, who is 1nterested in real estate. This club had a gala opening. The interior decorating was done by Miss Georgiana Kamm, and is reported to be most startling and colorful. Dave Bag- nell, the manager, is now featuring Justin Corrigan,s band with Frances Hansen as vocalist. Bill Davis and his troupe of Dancing Dollies appear twice nightly, and Dorothy Saville is famed for her Plinky VVinky rhythm, which consists of ten chords to the bar. She composes novelty piano numbers and introduces them at the Sl , Miss VVyllie also had an article on the famous soprano, Rita Steichen, who is now preparing for her first appearance of this season. Her hair is to be styled by Edith Christensen, one of the more well known beauty culturists of the city. Finally, we turned to the ads and savv some very attractive articles which might be purchased at the Dorrann Department Storesu, owned by Leo Doran and Lester Rann. The two main buyers for the store had just returned from Europe with a new stock of Paris hats. These ladies are Lucille Englert and Frances Porth. In the man's section, we recognized the model of what the well-dressed man will Wear as Lavern Stevenson, our class president. We had found all of our classmates in the news except one. Arthur Epstein was missing. We knew that Arthur must be well known. He had been the budding genius of the class. The only thing we hadn't read was the comic section, and We decided that he might be there for he did have a Wit fof a sortj. We discovered that he was the originator of Phillip Flea and has pre- pared a full length movie of Phillip's life for G. M. G. Having found all of our classmates, we laid the paper aside and went down to the Sl to spend a quiet evening. Page Szxtg twa Posiul . . . All of us . . . Peepin' Tom . . .

I've recited this pledge on special occasions ever since I first started to school. It never meant much to me before-just a group of patriotic words strung to- gether. Since October sixteenth, though, it's had a real meaning for me. On that day I registered for the Selective Service Training and Service Act. Strangc how fast the days have gone since then. The lottery in which my number was one-nve-eight. the call to report, the day I first put on my uniform, all this has passed. And here I am, Private Mason of the Fifteenth Infantry at Fort Lewis, former pool shark of 1410 Ellis Avenue, Tacoma, Washington. Times were pretty hard for lots of us fellows. ,Iobs were scarce. I never had any training to prepare me for a real job-just a high school education. I could never afford any more. Oh sure, I've had some jobs since I got my diploma. I ran a hotel elevator for a while. I was fired for impertinence to guests. They said my attitude wasnlt respectful enough. Then I ushered in a movie, my appearance wasnlt neat enough to hold that job for long. There were other jobs and other reasons for losing them. It was tough I can tell you. Now I'm employed for a year and here they won't kick me out for my faults, they'll kick the faults out of me. You know these things really make a fellow think of his country and what he owes to it. I don't regret anything about this. I'm proud to be part of Uncle Sam's army and it's no trouble to be proud. Ilm getting my clothes, food, lodging, and twenty-one bucks a month. I've no complaints at all. You learn to be respectful in the army. You just can't help it. Somehow, when you see a uniform with stripes on the sleeve, you want to stand at atten- tion and salute. You have to work hard to deserve those stripes. There's authority in that uniform and you know that an armyls no good without lead- ers. It reminds me of George Washington. He was my first hero. I worshipped him from the time I first heard of him. This army training makes me feel that I might have a chance to be up there with the great ones some day. It gives a fellow a purpose in life. Do your duty and do it well. Army life is hard enough. It's new and it's different. You have to dig in to catch on to it, but we don't mind. It's interesting. Besides there's a lot of sense to it. Even I can see that America needs to be prepared. In this crazy world you never know what's ahead. If we should get in hot water and every man should have to shoulder a gun to protect his home, I'll be mighty glad to know which end to shoulder. tContinued on Page Sixty-sixj Page .Sirtg fr li Truckin' on clown . . .

After it's completed, I'll bet the Fifteenth Infantry alone could lick three regiments of Benito or Hitler's outfit and take on Japan the next day. We've really got a keen bunch of rookies. I made more friends here in a day than I ever had before. Real friends. Some are guys like me without much of a start in lifeg others have always had everything. You can really see democracy in practice here. Vile were all called to serve. There's no class distinction. I'm considered every bit as good a soldier as the banker's son-even better at target practice. One for all and all for one is the spirit of the army. We all work together to help each other. Somehow, when you're down and out, you forget that life's like that. We fellows have good talks on the state of the world. We figure out how we'll solve the problems when we grow into them. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these fellows could do it, if the rest of us stick by them. A Captain needs his soldiers. I've really learned a lot just since I've been here. One thing, I've learned to be orderly. Everything has its own place in the scheme of things. N0thing's half-way in the army. I've learned to respect authority and to carry out orders. Why I've even learned things from listening to other fellows talk about world affairs. I've heard their opinions, and they've broadened my view. 'l'here's probably a job somewhere that I could hold down now. E Say, I wish you could have seen the look on my kid brother's face when he saw me in my uniform. Proud! He's found something to look up to now. l'm going to help that kid somehow. The army's given me back my self- respect. , My pledge of allegiance is a true one now. The United States of America, the one great nation, indivisible as long as our men will unite for a common causeg with liberty and justice for all. To the preservation of this democracy, I gladly pledge-my life. I i n 1 Page 51145 5 1 Dm-tulltiml . . . IM-lwzxtcrs . . . lhmkkccpi11g Class . . .

R. competition to represent Dwight Township High School in the D. A. R. pilgrimage to Wash- ington, D. C. The members of the senior class selected three girls whom they considered the best citizens, judged upon dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. The nnal vote was made by the faculty for the D. A. R. choice. Mary has been active in many activities during her four years at Dwight, and her leadership and dependability have been proved. Her all-around characteristics make her an able good-citizen. VV V SCHOOL NURSE Mrs. Bartells of Streator has for the past four years been competently discharging her duties as official school nurse and healtn advisor. During this time, she has helped many students with their health problems and has promoted a definite health program both in the grade school and the high school. She has also sponsored a dental clinic upon discovering that teeth were one of the main causes of ill health among young people. Although she spends only one day a week at her duties at Dwight High School, Mrs. Bartells has accomplished much and is to be congratulated for the many improvements she has made.

T. H. S. in September, 1937. At first they were rather puzzled by this new venture and the evident superiority of the upper classmen. After a few weeks of adjustment they were ready to organize their forces and, under the able sponsorship of Miss Lovejoy, they elected the following officers: Marshall Bush, presidentg Norma Kepplinger, vice-presidentg Lois Edmunds, secretaryg and jack Welch, treasurer. On january 24, twenty-seven new freshmen joined them, and they all worked together on preparations for their party. This was held in the spring and proved a great success. As their sophomore year started, these students were overjoyed. They were no longer Hgreenu freshies, and as yet they had no heavy responsibilities. With Mr. I-laegele as sponsor, the following officers were chosen to lead the class through their second year of studies: Marshall Bush, president, Mary Baker, vice-presidentg jack Vkfelch, secretary, and Lois Edmunds, treasurer. The students were very proud of Carolyne VVyl1ie when she won the Ameri- can Legion Essay Contest in February. Maybe under-classmen weren't so dumb after all, or maybe this class was an exception! On March 31, 1939, the class held a dance in the lower hall and there was a marked improvement in the students' ability to dance. There were more thrills and fewer spills. Finally in August, 1939, they reached the long-desired, dignified position of juniors. The class then concentrated all efforts on preparing for a successful prom. At this time the class officers were elected as follows: President, Robert McClelland, vice-president, Earl Kimeg secretary, Mary Baker, and treasurer, jack VVelch. 'ASkidding, an Andy Hardy play by Aurania Rouverold, was presented on November 17 with Earl Kime as Andy Hardy, ably supported by john Flint, Mary Baker, Norma Kepplinger, Mary jane McConnell, Rita Steichen, Dorothy Saville, Marshall llush, Robert McClelland, and Robert Ervin. This proved to be a very amusing and successful enterprise. The most spectacular event of the year, the Junior-Senior prom, was held in May. The theme for this was Stars and the gymnasium was decorated in blue and silver, the colors of the class of '4O. Miss McClelland helped the class plan their activities. This brought the third year to a close. ln September, 1940, the last year for these classmates was started. A group of fifty-five students came under Miss Hunter's guidance. At last they were seniors and their next year was a busy one, loaded with responsibilities. Their first class meeting started them in their many activities. Lavern Stevenson was elected presidentg jack Welch, vice-presidentg Mary Baker, sec- retary, and Marshall Rush, treasurer. A magazine campaign was started two days after school opened. Many subscriptions were sold, and the seniors started building the fund which would pay for their year book. Candy and ice cream were sold at the football and basketball games to help with this fund. Page Seventyronc Publishment of the Rudder was one of the largest jobs which the class attempted. They chose Norma Kepplinger as their editor-in-chief and Earl Kime as business manager. Other members of the class assisting them were Arthur Epstein, Rita Steichen, Marjorie Smith, Carolyne VVyl1ie, VVilma Stevenson, Mary Baker, John Flint, -lack Welch, Mary DeVore, Jane Lewis, Mary jane McConnell, Lavern Stevenson, Bette Feddersen, Marshall Bush, Lois Edmunds, Thomas Wiemken, Blanche Christensen, Dorothy Drew, and Betty Pierce. Next the staff of the Trojan News was chosen. Mary Baker was editor-in- chief and Mary jane McConnell was the assistant editor. Other editors were Rita Steichen, Jack Welch, Wilma Stevenson, Bob McClelland, Dorothy Saville, Georgiana Kamm, Marjorie Smith, Betty Pierce, and Lavern Stevenson. Cf course by this time all these students were dancing like professionals, and the l'dip was the rage. A big Homecoming Dance was sponsored by the seniors who decorated the gym in gay fall colors for this occasion. Elaine Christman was appointed the Dance Chairman and several successful Mixers were held. Athletics played an important part in the school life of the boys in the class. Lavern Stevenson and Bob McClelland were co-captains of the football squad and Vlfarren Savage was voted the season's most valuable football player. LeRoy l-louberg received this award for his basketball ability. Early in February Mary Baker was selected by the faculty as Dwight's D. A. R. representative for the Illinois conference. Throughout their high school career several of the students were active in speech and their senior year found four of them on the first debate team. Mary Baker, Marshall Bush, Earl Kime, and ,lohn Flint were all interested in the power of the Federal Government and had several interesting plans for prosperity. This class won all the honors in the Legion Essay Contest for the three best essays. Mary Baker, Marjorie Smith, and Lucille Englert handed in the best ones. Cn May 2, 1941, the Senior Play, June Mad , was presented in the gym- nasium. This play, by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, was a comedy in three acts. Members of the cast were Norma Kepplinger, Earl Kime, Mary Baker, David Bagnell, Bob McClelland, Mary Jane McConnell, Bette Fedder- sen, Marshall Bush, Justin Corrigan, john Flint, Elaine Christman, Lavern Stevenson, and Lois Edmunds. Everyone helped to make this a success by advertising and selling tickets. The class Hower was the gardenia, the class motto, Step by step, we progress, and the colors were rose and ivory. On May 24, 1941, the juniors decorated the gymnasium in these colors and held a prom for the senior class. This was very lovely and was certainly enjoyed by the class. These students closed their high school years the first week in June. On June 1, they participated in Baccalaureate services. Class Night was held on June 3 and proved very entertaining. Then, June 5, the Commencement exer- cises were held. They solemnly received their diplomas and left the halls of D. T. H. S. a bit wiser than when they had entered.
