To us, a place we love to go, We’d rather here, than elsewhere turn . . . . And, when we need to seek advice, It’s friendly port in any storm. We know that teachers here are friends, We know their welcome’s always warm . . . The students, teachers, and the deans, Help make our school this way: A place for friendly learning, And a chance to enrich each day............. . . Long after leaving these hallowed halls, And bidding each old friend “good-by,” When only memories prevail, We’ll ne’er forget our Leyden High . . . . AAzdieatLon . . . I Miss Bess Flood . . . THIS IS YOUR LIFE . . . after you attended the University ■ of Nebraska for a B.S. degree in Mathematics, you taught in a rural school and a primary school. Later, you taught high school in Nebraska, and even became Superintendent of two different, very small schools, having twelve grades with only ten teachers. In 1929, you joined the teacher's staff of Leyden Community High School. . . . remember twenty-five years ago, when only two hundred to three hundred students enrolled at Leyden, with the school day an hour shorter? And what about those days when you and the other teachers helped with plpys and cooking dinners, besides teaching school? ... a gleam comes to your eyes when former Ley-denites return to tell of their occupation or college life. Almost everyone has the same quote, Gee, now I appreciate your strictness and encouragement to work hard while in high school, to form good habits for the future, and to be better adjusted in college. ... as it has been said in the past, it is said again in the present, Leyden loves you. Miss Flood, with your warm smile and pleasant personality, just as you love Leyden. . . . THIS YEAR'S ANNUAL STAFF CELEBRATES YOUR TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR, BY DEDICATING THE 1954 LEYDEN EAGLE, TO YOU, MISS BESS FLOOD. A goal was set about the time that the class of '54 entered Leyden's halls for the first time as freshmen. This goal was to build a bigger, better school. Eager to learn and ready for fun during their stay at Leyden, these students grew and became a part of our school, just as the plans for the new addition to the school became reality. Now these freshmen, as seniors, are the leaders of the school. This same class is seeing that addition begin, and the goal which was but a dream progress. The construction of a new addition has begun as the construction of an outstanding class is finishing, and though they are leaving they will not soon forget the fun, friends, and learning achieved during their four years spent at Leyden. zuloz CL Cl d d ( LC£% 1 Ho! we're the Seniors graduating, Ho! four long years we have been waiting.

New additions require planning and study, and these people have done much of the planning and study that has aided in bringing the new addition to its present level of completion, and they will continue to plan and study to see that the new addition will meet the needs of the students. Frequent conferences among administration and faculty, and with the architect, will assure the best possible classroom arrangement, department expansion, athletic facilities, and educational aids available. These people, spirited by a devotion to duty and a desire for the students of Leyden, have contributed invaluable service to the progress of our new addition. Miss Irene BrinkerhofF Chairman Mr. Arthur Kellermann Secretary Mr. Thomas Kirchhoff Mr. Edward Wanders The Board of Education consists of seven members who ore elected by the people of district $212. Each member's term of office is for three years. The members choose their own president and secretary. The Board meets on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. It is then that they perform the many duties assigned to them. They determine the annual school budget, supply revenue necessary to maintain Leyden Community High School, appoint teachers, and fix and provide their salaries. They also haw final approval in determining the length of tho school year and the courses of studies offered. The Board was increased from five to seven members this spring. czQ cl m Lniitiation Wade A. Steel is serving his first full year as superintendent although he has been a member of the Leyden faculty for twonty-four yeors. Mr. Steel has served as a biology teacher and as assistant principal. Our superintendent has the responsibility of guiding Leyden's rapidly expanding educational plant. His decisions effect every phase of school life. He is the Board of Education's representative in manners pertaining to the functioning of the school. Leadership in the progress of the new addition is also Mr. Steel's task. His aim is to make Leyden the best school possible. Mr. Wade A. Steel, Superintendent Walter D. Stille, a native of Louisiana, joined the Leyden faculty as assistant principal last September. By providing guidance to students entering and leaving school, arranging schedules of both students and touchers, advising curriculum study, and supervising the faculty, Mr. Stille has already become a valuable addition to our school. Coming to Leyden from George Peabody College, where he completed residents requirements towards the doctor of education degree, Mr. Stille has rapidly taken over his new duties with the determination that will guide the growth and development of our school towards its objective of doing the best possible job of educating the students of Leyden.

Them social education as well as a sensitive viewpoint toward the more artistic or enjoyable phases of adult culture must be developed. Students under the guidance of various interested teachers and parents have built up a very fine selection of school organizations in which they can fulfill their various needs and where they can display individual talent in both an entertaining or helpful manner. Leyden's activities range from drama, art and photography to the charitable organizations and sports clubs. With the new addition, Leyden will have more room to let these activities grow and extend themself and for new ones to come into the light. A bigger Leyden will help make a better activity program. tuclsnt (louncil The Student Council meets doily during fifth hour. The Council hos helped to strengthen school spirit by making available fun night, pep assemblies, driver skill exercises, and promoting busses for students to games. They have added Coke and comb machines to the facilities of the school. Participation by the Council in regular events and duties that pertain to Homecoming, charitable drives, and representation at conventions has been strong. Council discussions have been far more frequent, as the Council discusses school problems on Tuesday and Thursday of each week.

The EAGLE provides the students at Leyden with a pictorial history of school life during the year. The EAGLE also serves as a memory book for the year's graduating seniors. Besides providing a record of the school year The EAGLE serves also as a media of public relations for the school. Bearing in mind this two-fold purpose, of serving the school and the community, the editors of The EAGLE have struggled to make the 1954 edition meet the highest standards. Membership on the staff of The EAGLE is voluntary and all work is done as an extra-curricular activity. Staff members are drawn from all grade levels in the school. left to right Bottom row I.

Audio Visual Aids are a must in Leyden's teaching program. To make use of ihese aids possible the efforts of 18 boys, three an hour, are used each day. These boys not only give up a study hall but must take an examination to get their audio-visual projection cards. Such things as projecting movies, setting up film strip projectors, tape recorders, record players, and slides, plus operating the public address system for the assemblies, dances. Parents' Club meetings, football games, and other occasions are a few things the boys do. All this is kept running smoothly and systematically by Mr. Alfred Moser, director. left to right: M.

There are about 50 members at the present time. The club sponsors two money-raising events: the annual Basketball Jarboree in March, and the sale of chances on the Homecoming football. With the proceeds the club sponsors the Spring and Fall Athletic Banquets for all major letter winners. The L club is interested in all service activities of the school, and helps with the presence of their prestige and L club sweaters at functions like Fun Nites, athletic events, and as monitors or guides. The club recently celebrated its 25th anniversary by buying a plaque for the new fieldhouse to list the most valuable athlete in each sport for the year. The club is interested in promoting better sportsmanship and for play in athletics and all school activities. With the opening of a new school year, a club came into its own, the Poster Club, under the direction of Mr. Earl Kuns as adviser and Steve Falco as president. The club has made a place for itself by aiding other organizations in advertising their var-ous functions, with colorful posters and signs at reasonable cost. For the artistic members the club has provided opportunities to teach lettering, advertising, layout work, and poster design.

Leyden has enjoyed their inspirational, sacred, and secular music performed at our Thanksgiving Assembly, Christmas Pageant, Spring Choral Concert, Spring Music Festival, and their last number of the school year at the Graduation Exercises. Others appreciated their marvelous performances when they performed for such groups as the Oak Park I.E.A. Pageant, the Sunday evening concert at Champaign, the Choral demonstration at the University of Illinois, the Bensenville Assembly, Leyden's Parent's Club, Grade School P.T.A.

Many of the members can not speak German, which gives the meeting a spark of laughter. The only qualifications for joining the German Club, are to be willing to learn about German customs, and to be willing to have fun. Anyone may join the German Club.

This year, as in every year of Leyden's history, a queen was picked by the student body. Her Majesty, Penny Heale, was crowned Queen of the 1953 Homecoming, on October 9, by Edward Fandel the president of the L Club. Her Court: Barbara Sexton, Janet Kellerman, Jean Tiedemann, Letitia LoGalbo, Rita Romano, and Maxine Lee each passed through the rose arbor as they hoped for a victory over Argo in the football game. The highlight of the Homecoming Activities was the presentation of the football, by the Queen to the football players. During halttime, the Queen was introduced to the alumni and the student body followed by the parade of floats. Torches and fireworks accented the occasion, helping to make it an evening that no one will ever forget. The following evening brought to the Queen, her Coronation Ball, the Homecoming Dance. Maroon and white streamers set the scene for the ball which the National Honor Society sponsored. After the Queen and Her Court were escorted to the stage and introduced, the floor was cleared and Queen Penny danced Her Dance with her escort, James Malapanes, to the music of Johnny Esposito's Band. Homecoming can come but once a year, but it leaves behind it the memories, and tears of the most unforgetable event at Leyden. cdfonzEcornincj Quzzn and (louxt PRINCESS Barbara Sexton PRINCESS Janet Kellerman PRINCESS Jean Tiedemann PRINCESS Letitia LoGalbo PRINCESS Rita Romano PRINCESS Maxine Lee L'IhxLitni Christmas season at Leyden this year was overflowing with activities.

Organizations sponsored drives to help less fortunate people have a Merry Christmas, and planned parties for the student body. The climax of the week's festivities was the fourteenth annual Christmas Pageant, held in the high school gym on December 17, 1953. Under the direction of several members of the faculty, the program, portraying the events before and after the birth of the Christ Child, was performed by the students of Leyden. a± 0 a.cj££Uik (lait READER............................................................Bertrand J.

On Sunday, March 28, one hundred of Leyden's Juniors and Seniors left for the most unforgetable week of their high school careers, the Washington Trip. After arriving in Washington, D. C. the group visited the Smithsonian Institute, and later the Bureau of Engraving. Afterwards they went to the Martinique Hotel, where there were four persons assigned to a room. The experiences at the hotel are among the most remembered of the Washington Trip: such as pillow fights and wrestling matches. During the following four days our Juniors and Seniors saw such places as the U. S. Naval Academy, Library of Congress, Supreme Court Building, and a guided tour of the Capitol. They went by the steamer District of Columbia to Norfolk, where they saw the Mariner's Museum and Jamestown Island. Afterwards they went on a guided tour of the restored buildings in Williamsburg, Virginia. One of the outstanding events of the Trip was the visit to Arlington National Cemetery, where they visited the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and saw the Hall of Fame. Thursday evening came too soon and Leyden's Juniors and Seniors boarded the train which carried them back to Chicago. By Friday evening all that was left were memories of one of the most outstanding experiences in their lives.

For years Leyden has done without these facilities, and sports, especially basketball, have sufferd. Extra curricular activities are mostly composed of sports at the majority of schools and because of our need for equipment, enthusiasm has been lacking and attendance at games dwindled. It was found that our gym was below regulations and our home games were transferred to grade school gyms. This alone was disheartening and students were becoming more and more indifferent. But now that the bond issue is through and the building is growing day by day, interest and school spirit will grow too and all our students will be proud to say: Leyden, that's my school. .■+Xy FOOTBALL COACHES LEFT TO RIGHT: Bottom row: P.

While the squad has won only one meet, they have shown themselves well and will lose only two members by graduation. A gymnast must have a number of years experience to perform well; experience which these boys, as first year members, lacked. But next year and in the years after, the boys who return will gain more and more experience and bring a successful tumbling team to Leyden. Left to right: Bottom row: D. Rupelt. Middle row.- R.

Unity ' that's the word that describes the class of '54. We've heard past Seniors telling about the special feeling that only Seniors can have and now after working together and playing together the four wonderful years we know they were telling the truth. In years to come the distance between us and Leyden may be wide but our memories will have a soothing way of making this difference shorter. Well never forget the friends and the fun that we had here and the long walk up the platform on Graduation Day to the hand that held out the diploma. ftodufd THC NORMAN KINO CO .
