Page T'Li'l'P1lj When school opened in September the freshman class was one of the largest ever to enter D. T. H. S. There were thirty-eight boys and thirty-four girls in the B Class, and twelve boys and eight girls in the A Class. When the second semester began, nine boys and seven girls were added, making a grand total of one hun- dred eight students.

The Dwight team suffered only one defeat and one tie, with a total of six wins. Bob Drew and Ray Mathisen served as captains of their team. Dwight's opening game of the 1941 season took place on the Dwight held, September 12. The husky team went on the held against VVatseka with strong determination to win. lloth teams gave a wonderful exhibition of blocking, running, passing, and line play. 'llhe second half found the two teams battling between the 30-yard line, with Dwight making their only hrst down of the game in the third quarter. Frankie Riccolo got off a 50-yard kick shortly after the beginning of the fourth quarter, which only proved that VVatseka may have held the ottensive advantage, but Dwight had a decisive advantage over them from the kicking angle. The game ended in a scoreless tie, but it was one of the best games ever seen here by football fans. fContinued on page fifty-threel Pal lifty-one M'l g 4 '-Q ,V Wfvix v' .1 '.

MVN Q4 llllllllllll CContinued from page fifty-onej Normal Community downed the Trojans on Friday afternoon, September 19, with a fourth period attack that netted them 13 points, and victory in the opening game of the Corn Belt League played at Normal. lt was a hard fought battle, and the Trojans showed great skill in their passing and interference. However, Normal Community launched a great drive to pull down a victory with a final total score of 20-7. Dwight met Morris on the night of September 26. Our powerful team proved too strong for the rivals. The running and passing of Frank Riccolo and the defensive work of Bob Drew helped pull Dwight through with their first victory of the 1941 season. The iinal score was in favor of Dwight, 27-7. On October 3, the Trojans went out on the field to win their hrst Corn Belt League victory. The Normal team had an experienced line, but it gave our boys little to worry about. After the shift of Captain Bob Drew from tackle to full back, a marked improvement was shown in our teamls tackling and run-- ning. At the close of the fourth quarter, Coach Pace sent in his reserves to take over, and Steve Zappa carried the ball over for a touch-down. Dwight cele- brated their second victory with a score of 26-6. The Dwight Trojans spoiled the lfairbury homecoming when they opened a second quarter drive that gave them 13 points. Dwight scored twice in the second quarter, once in the third, and once in the fourth. Fairbury scored in the fourth quarter, leaving the hnal score 27-7. Friday, October 17, was Homecoming day for the Trojans. Our team won their fourth straight game by downing Yorkville. The Homecoming was a huge success with the Trojans running up a score of 30-0. Dwight won their tifth straight victory' of the season when they downed a big Clinton eleven with a score of 6-0. The Trojans' running attack was led by Rob Drew. Ray Mathisen, big tackle, played one of the best defensive games of the season. The team scored shortly after the second period opened, when jim Landon went over for a touch-down. The try for the extra point was no good. Clinton made their only real threat near the third quarter's ending, when they used their aerial game to advance the ball to the Dwight 11-yard line. The Trojans had little trouble in disposing of their old rivals, the Pontiac Indians. Dwight scored two quick touchdowns in the opening minutes of the first quarter when Rob Drew intercepted a Pontiac pass on the first play and returned it to his own 21-yard line. Frankie Riccolo then cut through a hole off left tackle and went over for the touchdown. Pontiac made their only scoring threat of the game when they carried the ball down to the Trojans' 12-yard line. On the next play, one of the most spectacular runs ever seen on the Dwight field was made by the Trojans' leading scorer, James Landon. The final score was 40-0.

As the expression goes, only in reverse, the season came in like a lion and went out like a lamb. Again this year, the Trojans had to put up with more defeats than victories. As the season ended, the record showed them with a total score of eight wins and eleven losses. At the beginning of the season, things looked bright and cheerful for our hard driving Trojans. Then fate started to fool around with us and put us on the spot. Ray Mathisen was unable to participate because of a foot injury. Also, at the end of the first semester, we lost Harry Laubhan and Frank Riccolo, both very important members of the squad. However, knowing the task that lay before them, the team, with very able substitutes, fought each game to the finish, never discouraged. This year the lightweights had a very capable squad and did very well for themselves.

The Trojans lost the second game of the tourna- ment with a hard fought struggle. They also participated in the Regional Tournament held at Dwight. They defeated Reddick the first game, 41-37.

Gllll PRUPHIGY O CLASS OF 4Z,' I While seated at my desk, reliving the pleasant evening I had spent at Carnegie Hall listening to the golden voice of Wallace Patten, accompanied by that talented concert pianist Patricia Waters, I was rudely awakened from my reverie by the copy boy who announced that John Brorsen, the city editor, wanted to see me. l-le told me that he was going to start a series of stories about peo- ple in different walks of life. I was assigned to the job. Hopping into my auto- giro, which is the popular mode of transportation in this year of 1952, having been perfected by a classmate of mine, Donald Beyer, I whirred over the conti- nent in search of copy. My first stop was Chicago. Leaving my autogiro at the airport, I took a taxi to the Loop. As I walked down State street, my eye was attracted by a glittering sign which read, Hair Styled to Suit Your Personality. This looked good to me so I wandered in, and who should greet me but Lorraine Osborn. She told me that she was assistant to that famous beautician, Clara Ogg. She explained that Clara was designing a new hair dress for that famous actress, Peggy Goodman, who was opening that evening in a new play in the Great Chicago Play House owned and managed by Glenn Dippon. The gowns for the production were designed by VVanda Johnson. Anna Kelch and Maxine Mueller also had important parts in the play. I was delighted to hear of the good for- tune of so many of my classmates, and it was mid-afternoon before I finally broke away. I hailed a taxi to return to the airport, and upon entering, noticed that the driver looked familiar, it was Harold Rohlfs. He told me that he and Charles Hoffman had built up quite a business and now owned a chain of fifty taxies. I arrived at the airport just in time to see a huge transport land. Deciding to try to interview the pilot, I hurried to catch him but was stopped by the Camp- bell sisters, Gladys and Agnes. lt seems that they are both stewardesses, and they told me that the pilot I was pursuing was Gerald Christensen. Turning to follow him, I was attracted by a large crowd gathered around a model of a cub plane designed by Leo Burger and john Zappa. Of course this interested me, but as I attempted to draw closer two stalwart guards obstructed my path. On closer inspection, they proved to be Arlo Anderson and Robert Sereno. How- ever, since they were classmates of mine, I persuaded them to let me pass. Sev- eral photographers were taking pictures, and one was Calvin Bennington. Cal- vin had won the prize for the most interesting picture of 1951. On my way to fContinued on page sixty-sixj Page S rtx four ,sr fv , ,- uf K-f,, , I 1'icnflS . . . Flll'1l'lC1'CIlC . . .

I then boarded my autogiro and charted my course for Dwight, my home town. It was quite late when l arrived, so I went straight to a large hotel on Main street. At the desk were two of my old friends, Aletha Kraft and Doris Komnick. They told me that they owned this fine establishment. As l regis- tered, the desk clerk, Rosemary Darm, directed my attention to a woman seated in the lounge. lt proved to be Dorothy Kemp. After we had renewed our acquaintance, she told me that she had come to Dwight to carry on her research against cancer, in peace and quiet. Carl Clausen had designed her an ultra- modern laboratory. Here she and her equally famous assistant, VVilliam llay- den, are searching for a cure for this deadly disease. She told me that Dr. Leigh Roberts and nurse Norma Drew are also helping with the research. I congrat- ulated her on her splendid work and retired to my room. The next day I decided to call at the office of the Dwightite Sun, a new daily newspaper owned by the VVilder twins, Donald and Ronald. lleing on the outlook for news, I thought this would be the logical place to hunt for it. The place was in a whirl of activity. I pushed my way to a door marked Private, and entered. Neither of the owners was there, but the city editor, Phillip Eck- hoff, offered to help me in any way he could. lfirst, I decided to inquire about some more of the class of 42.', Phillip told me that Alveta Rhode is now in Hollywood and is known as the Queen of 'llechnicolor. Dorothy Peterson is the manager of a popular restaurant in Los Angeles which is reputed to serve the best home-cooked food in California. just then we were disturbed by the ring-- ing of the phone. lt was the mayor of Dwight, and I was proud to remember that James A. Zappa was also a member of my class. -Iames asked the city editor to publish an editorial about the great work which is being done by Police Captain Robert Currie and his efficient police force, in ridding the city of vice. Realizing how busy Phillip must be, I' took my leave and decided that enough time had been spent in Dwight and that I had better be moving on. After having my autogiro serviced at that Super Station managed by Ralph Spangler and owned by Robert Davy, I took off about noon. It was a beautiful day and a real joy to ride through the clouds. As I skimmed along, surveying the landscape, my attention was drawn to a large farm, and circling over it I Saw the words Wztlter Houck's Dairy Farmy' painted on the side of a large white barn. Further along, as the light was fading, I was glad to see a brilliant sign below me. Thinking it was a tourist camp, I swooped down and planned to spend the night. An attendant ran to meet me, and it took only a few minutes to recognize him as Charles Knudson. He told me that this was not a tourist camp but the famous Health Rest Camp owned bv Lucille and Frances Zappa. He ex- plained that it was in reality a small community, with all the conveniences of a CContinued on page sixty-eightl Page .Sixty .rm lhms lxmnmmlx . . l l1liCiZl IZUTIIS , . , IJm'411I1y I'0Ivl'sn1 . . .

NVQ began to speak of old times at Dwight and he told me that Elizabeth Ely, Marie Englert, and Lucille Ilaag were the owners of a smart restaurant in the camp. I secured a cabin and after a restful sleep began to explore the grounds. I was attracted to the outdoor gymnasium by the sound of laughter. Here, under the leadership of Eudora Santacroce and her assistants, Mary Davis and Mary Duay, the women of the camp find recreation. After watching a short time, .l wandered down to the beach of a small lake where I found the trainer, Robert Drew, teaching men how to play football in the water. On the beach, watching, were that famous comedy team, Marilyn Metta and Jack Myers. They informed me that they were taking a much needed rest before starting a new radio program. Turning around, I beheld a tall nurse with beautiful golden hair. She looked familiar, and l walked over to her. It was Dorothy Schmidt, the nurse who cares for any campers who become ill or injured. I asked her about her friends, Catherine Grieff and Rose- mary Woodwarcl. She explained that the last she had heard from them they were both happily married. Leaving Dorothy, I went to the general store at the edge of the camp and bought a morning paper. There in the headlines were the following words: Donald Turner Sets New World Record. Reading on I discovered that Don had driven his racer 800 miles an hour on the track at the great Salt Lake in Utah. This seemed to me to be a breath-taking speed, and I turned to the man standing beside me to tell him about it. Ile informed me that Don was a class- mate of his, and looking closer I recognized Edward llerb, more commonly known as 4'The Czar of the Super Marketf' He and his secretary, Ellen Olson, were down here to try to encourage the Zappa sisters to set up a Super Market in their llealth-,Rest Camp. just then Mary Dransfeldt, the secretary of this marvelous resort, handed me a telegram which ordered me back to the home office to start out on a new assignment. Patricia Burns had been given my position, and she and her trav- eling companion, VVinifred Long, were to arrive here soon to take over. Returning to my cabin to pack, I noticed a large van moving in. On the outside was painted The Five Ifurries Basketball Teamf' This is the team which you have undoubtedly heard about. They have not been defeated in five years of ball playing. This team is composed of Harry Laubhan, Laurence McConnell, james Landon, VVayne Iiloxam and Raymond Mathison. Managed by Donald Sodini and coached by Howard Burkhart, this is truly an amazing quintet. In my cabin there was another telegram which informed me that I had been appointed Foreign Correspondent to South America, a goal toward which I had striven for years. S -SHIRLEY GILES.

Uuddlc The Characteristics of A Good American Everyone of us is proud to be an American citizen, but we can be more than just that-we can be good American citizens. A good American will respect the rights of otherse-in school, homes, at work-any place where he comes in contact with people. ln school, he will follow the advice of his teachers and take part in class recitations and outside activities: at home, a good American does his share of work and respects his parents: at work, he will try to get along with his fellow workers and his employer, and he will do everything he can to justify his employer's faith in him. A good American is educated. Not only does he study his lessons in school, but he is up-to-date in world atfairs-hfthe war, politics, and prominent people in the news. He will study his own government -its history and its founders M and he will be proud to be a citizen of the greatest country in the world. Propaganda will have as little edect as possible on a good American. 'l'hat is, he will not have a hatred of the people of the countries opposing the United States just because their rulers act without giving an apparent thought to human rights and lives. He will also not let himself be led astray by anyone who speaks against this government. A good American believes in Codg and whatever his religion, he will respect the other religions and will not make fun of them. 'llo keep his body and mind healthy is the duty of every American. Ile knows how valuable a healthy body is in that he can do his work right: and if his body is healthy, his mind is likely to be clean also. A clean mind and a healthy body will be contributing factors toward keeping a person on the alert and being a good American. YVithout being asked too many times, a good American will perform the duties that are his as a citizen of these United States. One of these duties is to vote. lf he does not vote regularly or doesn't take an interest in voting, he should not criticise the government or any of its officials. Voting is both a right and a privilege. An appreciation of the form of government we have and what it does for us is another characteristic of a good American. No matter what his political affiliations may be, he will be behind the President in whatever he does in times such as these because the President uses caution and the advice of others to do what he thinks is best for all of us. Among other things, a good American will show his appreciation of the fact that he is a citizen of such a grand country by buying defense stamps or bonds and supporting in any way he can the efforts being made for the benefit of our fighting forces. And last, but not least, he will thank God that he is an American. -GLADYS CA M PHELL.

Page Srvmrlvv flu' Limericlzs There once was a lad named jerry, And he had a friend named Harryg They both were quite tall, And played basketball. At shooting they tried not to tarry. I once knew a boy named Leigh And a doctor he did want to beg He would always study Unless out with his buddy, For a good time he did like to see. A senior by the name of Dot Had a personality that meant a lot, Chosen class treasurer The seniors all measure her As one of the best members they've got. There was a fair maiden Maxine, Whose beauty was plain to be seen, One night she did go With Bob to the show. Now to Bob she means more than a queen. There was a young athlete named Bob And football was his supreme job, But he studied 'tis true, l-Ie played basketball too, And was really just one of the mob. A fine young artist named Dutch For the Trojan News did very much. And other things, too, He often did do, Needing neither a shove nor a touch. Bk-X fx nr 106106116106 Teachers Of teachers, there are many kindsg Some, I'll describe in the next few lines. There are some who always seem in doubt, VVhen it comes to helping the pupil out. Those, who are always cracking jokes, But nct when the student passes notes. Some who are always watching to see If the student is doing what he shouldn't be. Those who make the student spit out gum, VVhen they, themselves, are chewing some. There are some who stand outside the door. To see if a note through the air will soar. Of the bad characteristics these are a few, And now I'll give you some good ones, too. The teachers who are willing to help you out When your lessons you have in doubt. Some, who, when they catch a note, Do not read it aloud just to 'lget your goat. Some who are willing to let you read In assemblies, library books, when credit you need. Those who do not in detention send Anyone who is trying his knowledge to lend. Some who are always trying to say Something to please you in any way. Although, I'm a senior, and graduat- ing this year, I know I shall feel like shedding a tear, Because I shall miss my teachers and their ways-- But their memory will be with me the rest of my days. -Agnes Campbell.

Eighty-nine members began their freshman march together in the passing parade. These '1freshies , under the leadership of Miss Lovejoy, then elected the following people to guide their footsteps, lletty lfedderson, presidentg Peggy Goodman, vice-president: Mary jane McConnell, secretaryg and james A. Zappa, treasurer. Later in the season these merry marchers held a party in the lower hall, and a glorious time was had by all. At the beginning of the second semester, eighteen new members joined the parade. The coming of the sophomore year found many instilled with the thirst for higher learning. Through the halls of Dwight High these sophomores rushed in search of educational, social, and athletic activities. Guided by Mr. Haegele, the following leaders were chosen: Eudora Santa- croce, presidentg Laurence McConnell, vice-president: john VVilliams, secretaryg and Robert Drew, treasurer. ln the spring, a party was held in the lower hall. A marked improvement was shown in dancing, and everyone agreed that this party was a fitting climax for the sophomore year. 1940, and at last we were juniors! The underclassmen were at our mercy, and the seniors began to feel the effect of our competition. The responsibilities of our now important class were placed upon the shoul- ders of Glenn Dippon, president, Gladys Campbell, vice-president, VVinifred Long, secretary-treasurer. On December 12, Early to lled, Early to Rise was presented by the fol- lowing cast: Glenn Dippon, Peggy Goodman, Maxine Mueller, Charles Hoffman, Harold Rohlfs, Leigh Roberts, Anna Kelch, Shirley Giles, Lorraine Osborn, John Brorsen, and Dorothy Riber. Then came the event which had held our longing attention every since our entry into high school, the annual .junior-Senior Reception, known to most students as the Prom. The gymnasium, under the direction of the junior sponsor, Miss McClelland, was beautifully decorated in the class colors of 1941. This event marked the close of our third march at DTHS. The coming of September, l94l', found us seniors at last. With much pomp and splendor, we advanced to the front ranks to assume our fitting positions as leaders of the passing parade. :aye Sv-ucn 1' Led by Miss Hunter, we selected Raymond Mathisen as president, Harry Laubhan, vice-president, Gladys Campbell, secretary, and Dorothy Riber, treasurer. Many outstanding marchers were discovered and took part in the various special formations of the parade. Late in May a capable Rudder Staff headed by Shirley Giles, editor-in-chief, and Glenn Dippon, business manager, presented the 1942 Rudder to the public. Under the editorship of Gladys Campbell, the Trojan News reported a suc- cessful year. Gladys also won first place in the American Legion Essay Contest. We were all very proud of Bob Drew who was elected to the All-State foot- ball team. Early in the second semester, Dorothy Riber was selected as Dwight's D. A. R. girl. To raise money for our senior year, we worked hard selling magazine sub- scriptions, sponsoring Mixer Dances, and selling refreshments at the football and basketball games. The class flower was the Lily of the Valley, the class motto, Succeed-VVe can, We Must 3 and the class colors, green and white. On Patricia ll lax ine May 1, the seniors presented their annual play. Those in the cast were Burns, Robert Drew, Dorothy Riber, Winifred Long, Glenn Dippon, Mueller, Peggy Goodman, Gerald Christensen, john Brorsen, Leigh Roberts, Wallace Patten, Marilyn Metta, and VValter Houck. Other seniors helping with the production were Raymond Mathisen, Dorothy Schmidt, Lorraine Osborn, Agnes Campbell, Mary Dransfeldt, Lucille Haag, Rosemary Woodward, Wanda Johnson, Mary Duay, Harold Rohlfs, Donald Beyer, Robert Currie, Aletha Kraft, Norma Drew, Clara Ogg, Eudora Santacroce, james Landon, Ellen Olson, jack Myers, Charles Hoffman, William Hayden, Charles Knudson, Robert Davy, Howard Burkhart, and Carl Clausen. Miss Paden was assisted in her work by Student Directors Dorothy Kemp and Shirley Giles. Closing the high school years in a blaze of glory, the seniors participated in the baccalaureate services on May 31. On June 2, the students presented their class night program to the public. On June 4, the seniors received their diplomas at the commencement exercises. Shedding a few tears in leaving our Alma Mater, we departed to join life's passing parade. -SHIRLEY GILES.
