Class History The year 1943 brought an addition of sixty new freshmen to the halls of D.T.H.S. Although these students were decidedly green, they attacked their new life vigorously with the hope of making their class one of the most outstanding classes that Dwight had ever witnessed. Under the sponsorship of Miss Bratt, the class held its first class meeting and eleeteelaits class officers, EUQCTTCASGFETISCTI as president,'t:?rrtl'n1rs'Kern, vice- ' president, and Lorraine Kepplinger as secretary-treasurer. Mary Grace Beiswanger won the American Legion Award. By the time our sophomore year was at hand, our class had dwindled to forty-nine. This year Mr. Haegele was our sponsor, Betty Paulsen, president, Arthur Kern, vice-president, and Ann Paasch, secretary-treasurer. On April 6, we held our annual sophomore party in the lower hall. The winner of the American Legion award this year was Helen Olllrien. With the coming of our junior year, we advanced to the ranks of upper- classmen. This brought many new problems into our lives, but under the careful guidance of our class sponsor, Miss Carter, we were able to overcome them. Gur main problem was that of raising money for the prom, This was achieved by selling stationery, sponsoring a movie, selling candy at football and basketball games, and presenting our annual class play. We ordered our class rings in November and received them the following March. ' 23 Qn November 16, 1945, under the direction of Miss Gberle, we presented our class play, Footloose, The cast consisted of lletty Paulsen, Mary Grace Page Fifteen lleiswanger, Joan Roeder, Mary Louise llansen, Elizabeth Houck, Helen O'l3rien, Donna Condon, James Andreasen, Arthur Kern, VVesley Drew, john Drew, Gerald Holzhauer, Murl Knowles, and Robert Jorgensen. At last the time for the Junior-Senior Prom arrived. The gym was attrac- tively adorned in 'nautical theme. The colors of blue and white carried out this theme. A delicious banquet was prepared alld served by mothers of the members of the junior Class. An interesting program was then enjoyed by the faculty, stu- dents, and guests. The rest of the evening was spent dancing to the music of the Down Beats from Kankakee. With the opening of school in the fall of l946, the most important year of our high school career began. This year our main task was publishing the Rud- der. Althou h rices were extremel f hi h and cost of ublication was hi her 3 S : S than ever before, We raised the money by various means, among which were sell- in ma azine subscri tions, s onsorin' a dance, sellin 1' cand at football and g g in Y basketball fames checking coats durm, the tournament sqonsorin 1' a movie and Y ! Y es S resentmff our class lav Sin ' for Your Su Jer. P zs P . 1 c l During the year, several members of our class won considerable recognition. Mary Grace Beiswanger received the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award. Helen O'Brien and VVesley Drew won special recognition in the speech contests when both received iirst medals in 'KB' schools at the VVest Aurora regional contest. ln interelass ranking, Helen placed second, NVesley, third. 'Ilhese two seniors triumphed again at the sectional contests at Mendota where each placed first i11 class H schools. Helen placed first and Wesleyf second i11 interelass ranking. Because of their high ranking, both will compete in the state speech contest at Champaign. The end of our happy school days is now approaching. Although we are eagerly awaiting the time when we put on our caps and gowns, and receive our diplomas, we are still feeling regretful that these happy days are soon to be in the past. e i Page Sixteen New York City, New York June 5, 1955 Dear Miss Lemmel, Eight years ago today the Class of '47 took its leave from the classrooms of D.T.H.S. Those eight years have really fiown by, and much happened to the various members of the class. Recently in meandering over the country in my helicopter, l made several interesting discoveries about the Alumni of D.T.H.S. Then the thought occurred to me that you might be interested in learning what your tirst Senior Class at D.T.H.S. is doing. Playing prov basketball on the New York Sure Shots are Owl , wiser than ever john Drew, lanky Glen Bloxam, sink-'em john Metzke, and Bill Steichen. These boys are situated, rather comfortably, in a penthouse on 52nd Street from which they emerge on romantic ventures with some of the Broadway stars such as Helen O'Brien. Nothing is too serious yet as Broadway reporter, Walter' Winchell, would have us believe. International banker, Ann Paasch, is firmly rooted in the economy of Den- mark with her bank The Golden Touch. Bucky,' Kern and Betty Paulsen are owners of some chain grocery stores- the Betky-Best Grocery Stores. A new discovery of these two enterprising merchants has made it possible to provide watermelons for customers throughout the year. Recently named Secretary of Agriculture. Jerry llolzhauer, has developed a new method of securing nitrogen from the air by use of atomic energy in the stratosphere. Using the commercial knowledge they acquired at old D.'l'.H.S., plus a little polishing at Gregg's BusiiiessiCollege, are Betty Dieiner, Mary Grace Beisvvanger, Elizabeth Houck, and Mary Louise Hansen who took the secretarial world by storm, and did so well that they are now finalists in a contest to determine the ideal secretary. Honors go to Donna Condon, holder of the Champion Shorthand Writer Award, who is now a reporter in the Senate. Herb Gillispie, Einstein's protege, is continuing work on the theory of re- lativity. He and Einstein are collaborating on a new book Relativity Simplified. Baton twirler for Ringling Brothers is Lorraine Duary. She recently finished her book Under the Big Tent which will appear on book stands this month. Going places with her humor is Evelyn Farrell who has recently appeared on several radio programs. VVell-known in the newspaper world is Roma Hinkleman, feature writer for the San Francisco Times. Her column About Townu appears daily. An expedition searching for Shangri-La is composed of Bob Iorgensen and james Taliaferro who have decided on adventure after several successful years in the entertainment world. Bob, of course, has made quite a name for himself in the musical world. James proved a very capable master of ceremonies for Bob's band. Page Se'veutr'eu. James Andreasen and Kenneth Lauritzen are planning to leave for Wailcilii to prepare some films of natives, especially the hula-hula dancers and surf-boat riders. A one-woman show of paintings is in Chicago at 215 South Michigan Avenue. Donna Eddington is receiving praise by the critics for one painting, Dwight at Twilight, an impressionistic view of the alma mater. ' Helen Michaels Qremembered as Callj is an instructor of home economics at the University of Iowa where she has made some new developments in the art of quick freezing. Omelettes are popular these days due to the new breed of chickens, called Eggettes, developed by Charles Mcliarlane. 'These chickens have lovely egg marks all over their feathers and certainly do their part in aiding Bunny Rabbit at Easter time. Supervising the hardened criminals at Alcatraz is Hob Beir. Not once has there been a riot or an escape since Bob has organized his omnivisual corps. Models of glamour and glitter are Esther Zappa and Vera Wald1'on. Recent- ly Esther's photograph with the new version of the Eugenie hat covered Cos- mopolitan's front page. Vera's fair face graced f'Good Housekeeping. Lorna Matzen now lives on 'Waupansie Street in Dwight. Junior is being coached by his father on the back-yard court. The Rohlfs' Dance Studio owned by Thelma has started the new dance, The Atomic Shake. The craze for this limb exerciser has swept the country. Successor to gravel-voiced Andy Devine is VVesley Drew who has acquired that peculiar vocal fiair. He recently starred in the film f'l'ersonality Plus. Having conquered all his opponents, Jack Martin won the title of Light- weight Champion at Madison Square Garden. Gene Sorensen, his trainer, has de- veloped a new robot sparring partner for his pugilistic protege. Murl Knowles has been doing a very fine job since he took Edgar Hoover's place as head of the F. ll. I. His new identification system based on the roots of the hair is very successful. Earl Oak was just appointed as the U. S. Ambassador to China. The Re- publican Whip of the Senate, Delwood Fleischauer. urged his approval, which was within two votes of being unanimous. Helen and Velda Anderson have taken over the International Red Cross duties of the United Nations Council here in New York. Working as their efficient personal correspondent is Beulah lioersterling. Comfortably situated in the Wisccxrisin Dells is Lester Qlensen, owner of a summer health resort. Assisting him is Betty Porth, director of recreation. You should spend a few days up there this summer, Miss Lemmel. See you at the Dells, JOAN ROEDER Page Eighteen JUNs1sQ3s LASSlf:S Hlilililli ew: COIXNEIXMJ TASTE-S GOOD , MUSCLES ,ul J ' .fi A113 If i 1' Li' 'J' Lf f , f , L Li' 1 rj , , ,,-' . 1,1 '71,- Q 43 L ff' V1 iv, - ',!

The class was well represented in both basketball and football, While other members represented the school in speech contests. Uutstanding among its many activities was the Junior play, Brother Goose, presented December 13, under the direction of Miss Jane Jarman. This year the class proved good salesmen.

Equally successful among its many accomplishments was the Junior-Senior Prom, given May 24. Much credit for the success of this event goes to the Junior sponsor, Miss Carter. The theme of this gala occasion was f'Candyland. As the guests entered Candyland , a beautiful atmosphere awaited them. The mellow music of Gene Victor and his orchestra lent atmosphere and romance to the oc- casion. This lovely event will always he remembered by those present. As the juniors approach their fourth and liual year of school, they are an- ticipating continued success and achievement in the coming year.

Besides their participation in extra-curricular activities, the sophomores have topped the honor roll several times. 'llhcy are well-qualified to assume the roll of upper-classmen.

HAEGELE The last week of August found forty-three Trojans on the gridiron ready to be worked into shape for the on-coming season by the new coach, Marvin Pott- hoff. There were seven lettermen to greet Coach Potthoff and Assistant Coach H' ele. They were VVilliam Steichen, Arthur Kern, Glen Bloxam, Earl Frede- sen, -Iohn'Drew, John Metzke, and VVilliam Kirsch. The rest of the team was made up of promising second-team regulars of 1945. The team showed progress as the weeks rolled by, and finally they were ready for their opening game with the Morris Redskins. ' EARL KRUG GEORGE JERRY BILL IAM IQS JOHN STEICHEN HOLZHAU ER STlClCHEN TAL! AFIQRRO METZKL Page Fiftghtwo At the half of the Morris-Dwight game, the Trojans were trailing by a one- point margin. In the fourth-quarter this one-point lead looked big to the Trojans. The Trojans finally tallied in the last quarter to win the game by a margin of six points, the score being 13 to 7. The second clash in Dwight's football season was with Chenoa. The Trojans were in high spirits. Hy the third quarter the Chenoans had chalked up a 13- point lead. In the last quarter, rather in the last four minutes of the last quarter, the Trojans finally started their passing attack. Metzke threw two of the most beautiful passes that Dwight spectators have seen in many years. The first was received by Bloxam who ran 55 yards for a touchdown. They were also success- ful in scoring the extra point. A few minutes later Metzke threw a beautiful 45- yard pass to Steichen who ran over to make the score 13 to 135 however, the Trojans failed in their attempt to untie the score. The next home game, October 4, with Fairbury, was the Trojans Home Coming Game. The Trojans went into this game with high hopes but were de- feated by a score of 6 to 7 in favor of the Fairbury Tartars. During the next week, the Trojans practiced furiously for their on-coming game with the Trinity Saints, October 11. They traveled to the Illinois-Wesleyan field where they met the Trinity Saints. Neary, the star of Trinity, completely amazed the Dwight eleven with his open-field running. The Trojans were de- feated badly in this game, by a score of 19 to 0.

The Dwight eleven, completely outclassed in this game with U. High, were defeated by a score of 38 to 0. The last home game of Dwight Trojans was with Normal Community. At the half the Trojans were behind by a score of 13 to 10. Coach Potthoff's pep talk during the half seemed to put fire in the Trojans as they went into the last half of the game. The Trojans completely outplayed the Ironinen in the last half, and the score ended in favor of the Trojans 14 to 13. The Trojans were nearing the end of their season when they journeyed to Watseka. This was the worst defeat the Trojans were handed. The score ended in favor of the Vlfatsekans 41 to 0. The last game of the season, November 8, was played with our old rivals, the Pontiac Indians. The Pontiac Indians were picked to win over the Trojans by a 25-point margin. The Trojans held the Indians in the first half of the game by a seven-point lead. The Trojans were in scoring position many times but failed in their attempts. During the last few minutes of the last quarter, the Indians scored again to make the final score 14 to 0.

As the curtains parted, the scene was set in the Piper living room. Here com- plications set in. Ranny and Biff are practically forgotten men, since Joanie and Laurette have given their hearts to the radio, mystery crooner. The boys pull a fast one, and frame Stephen, the new music teacher, as the mystery crooner. Stephen is very nice-but no one yould swoon over-and, besides, the girls are peeved be- cause he never noticed them. All this will disillusion the girls-the boys hope- and th-ey'll come running back to them. 'Hut things don't go so well and before long the girls are swooning at Stephen's feet. The worst is yet to come. Stephen really is the mystery crooner. He had taken up crooning only to help finance a serious musical career. To stave off the onslaught of girls, Stephen asks Susan fmore his age and secretly in love with himj to pretend that they are engaged. Susan readily agrees, but Biff and Ranny spoil things with one of their bright ideas. They frame the engagement of Stephen to three of the bobby-sox brigade, and Susan is heart-broken. To make things more hectic, beautiful Marilee, a fast-talking girl from Ian, advertising agency, descends upon Stephen. Also Mrs. Piper, who bosses Mr. Piper, secretly tells 'llessie Topper, a lady reporter, that Stephen is the mystery crooner. To add hilarity Pinky, the Piper's youngest daughter, insists on making fun of the mystery crooner. Poor Stephen!! He wants only to be left alone with his music and Susan, with whom he realizes he is nowtin love. In a fast and furious final act, Stephen hnds time not only for his serious music and his crooning but for Susan, also. . . . . . e - CQST OF CHARACTERS.
