M R. ROLAND E. ZOOK Our first real record of Feitshans history has been completed in the l945-i946 edi' tion of THE LOG. We hope that we have blazed the trail for many successful l.OGS in the years ahead. In spite of a late start and many discouraqernents, the staff has planned and com- pleted this panorama of events. We hope that our efforts have not been in vain and that our book will help you to remember your i945-46 high school days and friends in later years. Dedication Vlfe, the Senior Class of 1946, gratefully dedicate our first yearbook, THE LOG, to our adviser, Mr. Roland E. Zook. Mr. Zook came to Feitshans High School in 1940. During the six years that he has been a member of our faculty, he has made a real contribution to both the scholastic and extra-curricular life of the school. Through his assistance and unfailing effort, our dream of a yearbook has finally become a realization. We thank Mr. Zook for his loyalty and guidance in this great accomplishment. Theme The figure embossed on the front cover and so cleverly illustrated on the opposite page and on the other separation pages throughout THE LOG is a product of the imag- ination and ingenuity of our art editor, Bunny Carr. Gene the Gremlin, as the little chap has been named, served his year'5 apprentice- ship at Feitshans this year. Gene is like most any ordinary Gremlin, his actions can't be explained, whether they be good or bad. Have no fears about his not being with you throughout the year for he was. There were times when he brought you good luck and then there were times when he was working against you. He had no political connections and went about his work quietly and efficiently. W'e chose Gene the Gremlin for our theme for THE LOG and We hope you think We made a good choice. As we said before Gene was sometimes the unseen force for good and at other times he was that force for unhappy and evil things. We, the staff, think that he helped us quite a bit in making THE lOG what it is. At any rate We won't forget Gene the GrernlinYhe's our friend. CK yx 1 f r A 0 ,- 1-I-21+ :ut I? F... :fi L -,o .

FRED C. NICHOLS, Principol. CARL POP WILSON liwfni cl Phys Affectionately dubbed Pop by the students of F. H. S. Carl Wilsori, our dean of boys, carries on his work as adviser and disciplinarian. l-lelpinq incoming freshmen to make a better adjustment to hiqh school life and advising them throuqh all their high school years are but a part of his duties. lVlr. Wilson also teaches classes in Gene eral Science and Alaebra. MISS ELIZABETH COGSWELI. llvtiii ot Girls Dean of qirls is an important and busy position competently filled by Miss Coqswell. Always helpful and kind, our dean offers friendly advice in solving student problems of school and future vocations, Besides capably handling her position as dean, Miss Coqswell teaches classes in freshman and senior Enalish. MISS COGSWELL 0 lVl.A. Univ, of Ill. MISS BODY MA. Univ. of Ill. English Now more than ever betore English has become essential in building intelligent Citi- zens tor tomorrow. Our English department ig making sure that its students get the most from their grammar and literature classes. ln order to obtain adequate vocabularies, to speak well, to punctuate and to gain interest in world affairs, Feitshans students are required to take three years ot English. A iourth year is offered to those who Wish to Continue on into the realms ot literature. ln the three years ot English that are essential for graduation the students do a variety ot things. They Write essays, short stories, and autobiographies: they read every- thing troni short short stories to novels. The students also learn to recoqnize and treasure the works oi Shakespeare, Lormf tellow, Tennyson, and many other literary notaloles. They also become tamiliar with the works ot modern day poets and authors. ln the course oi an Enalish year, many oral reports and talks are required. 'lliorv are always a iew debates on political, economic and other presentfday problems. The ahove-mentioned and the lessons on the mechancis oi Enqlish make up the work in tm average Enalish classroom here at Feitshans. Those instructors oi the Enqlish Department responsible for the very interesting cmd valuable work learned in their classrooms are Miss Body, Miss Coqswell, Miss Ferreira, Miss Powell, and Miss Vfilson. i MISS WILSON lVl.A.

The importance ot social studies is widely recoqnized and a variety ot courses are ottered throughout a students four years ot high school. Social Studies l may be taken in the tresl'iman year, World History in the sophomore year, American History in the junior, and Social Problems, Commercial Law and Government in the senior year. American History and American Government are both required tor graduation. MISS PRATT MR. KENNEY MISS COTHREN tvtlx. Univ, til Wis. NA. Univ. of Colo. Mil, Univ. ffl Vjis, W. ., T Z. .

Those who enjoy tindinq these unknnwns horve the opportunity of tokinq more thcin the required one yecrr ot niotheniotics. Besides Generol Mdtheniotics, there ore Alqebrn, Geonietry, Solid Geometry, Advanced Atoebro, dnd Triqonoinetry troni which to choose. Bosic inotheniutics is used in niost businesses. Many of our students rediize this since incrtheniotics is cr popular subject ond is carried by indny throuqhout the iour yeors. Science Science subjects are very interesting to the student ot today. Our Chemistry and Physics classes are always filled to capacity. These amateur scientists experiment with everythina from sodium chloride to makina qlass from sand, lime, and carbonate ot sodium. Because ol the areat atomic bomb, some ot our scientific students are tryina to find a new way to split the atom but so tar, they have had no success. While studying the theory ot evolution, they even tried to turn the human race back into monkeys no success. Let's hope they never tind a way to do that! Perhaps with no success in the theory of evolution or with the splittina ot the atom, our tuture scientists will turn to the study ot something ot a more helpful nature to manf kind. While we appreciate what the atomic bomb did tor us, we all are lookinq torward to a world ot peace, not ot death and destruction. 1:1 MISS SUTTON HE. lllinois State Nrarnml University A-...f-I MR.

Qi iii. l Science is not all the splitting ot the atom- f there is also the more demure side ot the subject which is offered to those who are interested in plant lite, bacteria, and aeoloay, that is, General Science and Biology. Many scientists experiment with things of a more harmless nature, seeking not to destroy as does the atomic bomb, but to heal. These are the ones who produce litefsavina devices and druas. Perhaps some of our present Feitshans Biology and Science students will pursue this path ol study and unveil some ol the mysteries in the field of research and medicine. Wlicrt' ever success they may have in their chosen worlc they will owe much to their instructors here at Peitshans. K V ., . . 'Q X . Language ln our foreian lanquaae department courses in Latin and Spanish are offered. ln first year Latin the students learn the declen- sions and conjuqations and a limited vocabulary of Latin words and phrases. The second year continues this type of work and the pupil puts into practice the knowledge he has qained by translating Well-known works. The Spanish courses have proved very popular with Feitshans students as is attested by the increasing MRS- PRUGGER enrollments in the courses which are offered. During some of the class sessions no one is allowed to use any lanauaae but Spanishf not even slana. The romantic and historic atmosphere of the Span- ..'f.A. Northwestern U. ish speaking countries leaves an indelible impression on the students and very rarely does a student drop his Spanish courses to delve into some other field. Cn the contrary most of them desire to ao on in advanced Courses so that they may become Well versed in the structure of this particular lanauaae and able to speak it fluently. 'lr Art Under the leadership of Miss Frances Kapuscinski, better known as Miss Kappyu to her students, the art department has become well known throughout the school for its eye catchina posters and displays. The art department offers a wide variety of fields to suit the individuals liking. These courses are ceramics, letterinq, desianinq, figure drawinq, water colorinq, oil paintinq, and craft work. Both the instructor and students are extremely proud of the recently installed kiln. The students spend many hours firina, alazinq, and re- MISS KAPUSCINSKI firinq ttll the clay takes a definite shape by their skilled t.fi.A, tim. of sw, cnt. finqe-IS. The art students are always willina to devote their talent and their time to the making of posters for every occasion. These posters attract everyones attention and are always the best way to advertise a school affair, such as a prom, a dance, a band or choir concert. The senior class is grateful, too, for without the help of the art classes many proms would be without the .QL qala decorations that make them such a areal success. MR. ADAMS Eastern lll. State Terchers Coll MR. KREBS Stout Institute Industrial Arts The lndustrial Arts department strives to prepare boys for a career in the productive and industrial world. Among the courses offered are Mechanical Drawing, Printinq, Shop, and Woodwork. The boys who choose to study Mechanical Drawing may advance in this tield ot blueprint and desian to become creators ot new and undreamed ot machines. Perhaps they may further the study ot the airplane, the helicopter or take an interest in the advancement of jet propulsion. The areatest architects, designers and inventors were all school boys at one time who followed their dreams until they were tultilled. Along with Mechanical Drawing we find Printing, Shop and Vtfoodwork. lfveryday when we pick up a newspaper or magazine we see in print what is going on in the world ot today. We owe much to printers for our reading material and most ol these men learned to love the smell oi printer's ink back in their high school printing classes. A mechanic or a carpenter is always needed to build and repair. ll your car breaks down you take it to a garageg it you need a mechanic to repair a piece oi machinery that is holding up production you can always iind skilled men who are thankiul they were attentive in their shop classes where they developed their natural love ot machines. The same is true oi a carpenter. The smell ol wood and paint and the beauty ot iinished homes, lurniture and toys makes him happy to be able to Work with his hands and tools in making things ot a useiul and lasting nature that others may enjoy. i MR.

Two years oi Bookkeeping, Shorthand, and Typinq are offered to ihe student who is interested in entering the business iieid. MH. ZOOK MISS KASISKE MR. WAX i , . . , , Mb.

After the Spring Concert, the audience left with a lasting memory of the beauty of male voices. The Girls Choir is composed of forty-three Voices and has worked extremely hard to build a good three- part ensemble. This choir appeared in the Christgnas assembly and made another appearance at the end of the semester. Miss Matlack can well be proud of both of these fine vocal groups. Instrumental Music The quality of our fine school band is kept to such a hiah standard because ul tho very excellent developmental proaram which Mr. McCoy has initiated and carried on since he joined our faculty. Those who show the sliahtest desire to master a musical instrument are immediately aiven every opportunity to apply their eneraies toward that purpose. Individual instruction and practice, alona with opportunity to play with the Second Band keeps the loeainnina student on his toes and his interest at a hiah pitch. The lack of suitable practice rooms has hampered the proqress of some students but it is hoped that the plans which have been drawn up for the construction of ncw music quarters lor Feitshans will soon he carried to completion. The aoal of playinyl with 'l'l'llQ BAND keeps con- tinually danalina before the heainners' eyes and they S' practice for hours, perhaps not prettily, but at least earnf estly, until the feel and touch and everything about their new instrument seems to become a part of them.

Physical Education i The ultimate aim ot Physical Education is to develop, through activity, the physical, mental, and social integration ot the individual. Remote objectives are health, worthy use ot leisure time, and ethical character. Every student in school is required to have eight semesters ot credit in physical education for graduation unless excused by a physician. The content ot the program is based on seasonal sports, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball, The seasonal program is supplemented by individual team sports, individual sports, calesthenics, games and relay fundamentals, marching tactics, posture work, stunts and tumbling.

School Nurse We are all qratetul lor the health services which our school nurse, Mrs. Veta Coorner, provides tor the students ot our school. We were all aiven the tuberculin test early in the tall with some ot us having X-ray pictures taken later. Eye, throat, ear, and leet in- spections were but a part ot Mrs. Coorners health service activities. Real and irnaqined illnesses were diaqnosed and at tirnes treated by the nurse in an eltort to attain a healthful student body. Mrs. Coorner visited Feitshans on Tuesdays, Wedrresdays, and . MRS. COOMEH, R.N Fridays. Library The Library is one ot the more valuable rwarrrs ul our school. lt is a study hall, reference roorn, and read' ina roortr cornbined. Here the students spend rnany hours reading, and looking up rnaterial tor their Entrlish, His tory, and other classes. Mrs. Haynes nralces sure that students keep occupied and not idly talking or sleepirra. Each year the Library is turnished with new rot erences and other books, thereby lceepina it up to date l in every detail. MRS. HAYNES Ttnrx: tllt MISS MOUNTZ MRS. HARRIS Our Office Staff Our office staff consists of Miss Cliffordine Mountz and Mrs. Zelma Harris. Miss Mountz ig secretaryvtreasurer, and Mrs. Harris is attendance clerk. As hobbies, Mrs. Harris loves gardening, and she reminds us, it isnt onionsg she grows flowers. Miss Mountz spends her spare time drawing or Walking up and down the stairs selling magazines so that she, too, can earn some precious nylons. Around mid-year Mrs. Harris left us and was re- placed by Mrs. Vtfanda Casey. Mrs. Casey has quite a job keeping house and Working too, yet manages to find time to keep up her photography. Through the efficiency and careful management of these Workers, the office duties are performed with speed and accuracy. MRS. CASEY Af ,lf 1 Af f 5 .f-ff! 'Vff Senior Autographs January Seniors x The members of the class of lanuary, l946, enriched the school lite in many ways during their tour years at Feitshans. They numbered in their ranks several excellent stu- dents Who were always a stimulus to Worthwhile classroom activities, athletes who brought honor to their school by their achievements in sports, and band and choir members who were valuable assets to the musical organizations of which they were a part. There were six diplomas qranted to men in the service. This class has made for itself a place in the annals of Feitshans Alumni ot which it may well be proud.

That is the way most of the senior class feel. We have come a long way together. Coming into the school as freshmen, we were green, we adrnitg but as we finished our sophomore and junior years of high school, we began to grow up into young men and women preparing ourselves for the future. Now the time has come to leave Feitshans. As it draws near, we are more and more saddened by the thought of not returning to school in September. Most of us have spent an enjoyable four years here and we hope that our school will send out many graduates in future years with at least as much knowledge and wisdom as we feel we have attained. Each of us owes a vote of thanks to the senior class and to those who have worked so diligently in introducing the year- book, THE LOG. We thank all our instructors for their guidance and patience in helping us to become graduating seniors. For the underclassmen we can only hope that their senior year will be as enjoyable as ours has been and that their efforts will culminate in a fine record of accomplishment. 3 X 1UL1o TRITELL1 XR Prosidvm GENE RILEY Vifrl Prosivlcni WAYNE BROWN Socretnry-Trmmsxlrwr ROBERT AARUP BETTY BAKER Miss Sprinqfield of 1944 G.

Football Feitshans' l945 football team was not up to the usual fine team which Coach Wax is in the habit of putting on the field. With but two lettermen returning from last year's City and Central Conference co- championship team the outlook was far from encouraging from the very first. However, hard work on the part of the squad and its coaches produced a team that made a creditable showing in each game. With twelve lettermen returning next year, fans and students may expect the Flyers to again have a strong eleven when the football season gets under way. Klaus, Adams, lackson, Griffith, Davis, Scroggins, Woods, Malcay, Ream, Stolleis, Thompson, and Ken Wallace hung up their helmets and shoulder pads at the seasons end, only too sorry that their high school football days are over. Those who will return are awaiting sweet revenge on teams who dealt them defeats during this season. Good luck, boys! The results: Feitshans .... Feitslians... Feitshans Feitshansn.

The basketball team played infand-out ball all during most of their games this year. For about a halt they would outplay nearly all of their rivals only to let down at some stage of the game. This, perhaps, Could be attributed to the lack ot varsity experience. Coach Barniskis had but one returning letterman from the City and Central Conference championship team ot last year around which he could build. Matlack led all the city high school players in scoring throughout all the season averaging nearly l6 points per game. He also was awarded Coach Barniskis' prize tor making the highest percentage ot tree throws during the games played during the season. Witli Atterberry, Hamende, McBride, Wallace, Merrill, Matlack, and Schnirring carrying over for next year the outlook tor a very strong cage team is very bright. lackson, who was elected honorary captain at the end of the season will be lost by graduation. We' ll expect great things from next years team. Go to it!

With only two veterans left over from last year's Central Conference Champions, Coach Earl Wax had to build a practically new team. How- ever, the showing made in several meets by some of the freshmen and sophomores indicated that Feitshans will have powerful track and field teams in the next year or two. The outstanding member of this year's team 'was Alester Carter, a freshman dash man and broad jumper. Carter won quite a few first places during the season and qualified for the State Track and Field Meet at Champaign. Several other freshmen scored points during the season and, along with the returning upperclassmen, will provide a strong nucleus for a winner next year. lt is significant to note that there were no seniors on this year's team so all who competed this year will be back to carry on where they left off when they hung up their spikes this spring. Ioe Hughes, Senor, White, Merrill, and Pendleton, along with Carter, were the main point getters of the season. 67 si 'R ,. , Coach--Manager-Letterwinners -:Q ' 'Q ' I K RQ Q S J ' fr ,W Sffwf 1 5 -s Qrfffif Wi? 5 YK Fox Hagerman, White Drury Doeriler.

' ---4 Trophies Throughout the years of Feitshans' history our athletes have blazed a wide trail in the field of sports. Basketball, track, football, and baseball are our major athletic activities. Awards won have been placed in the Trophy Case so that all who enter our school may see the splendid achievements of our teams. Although this was the first year for a long time We didn't add to these trophies We can expect to make up for these during the next few years.

The Student Council consists of elected members from each homeroom and four appointees by Mr. Nichols. The group meets regularly once each Week under the supervision and direction of Miss Peifer. 1' Purposes of the club is to integrate the school life of the students so that the maximum of educational, emotional, and recreational benefits may be made available to each of them. The council Works harmoni- ously With student groups, faculty, and P.T.A. in carrying on worthwhile activities and projects, in attempt- ing to solve school problems, and in the over-all plan ning for a better Feitshans High School. George Shaffer acted as president until his graduation in Ianuary. The Council elected Bob Isom to lead them through the remaining months of the year. Vice-president Bob Wallace, secretary F rank Copi, and treasurer Bette Allen were Bob's supporting officers. Accomplishments of the Council are too numerous to mention here but the members can be verv proud of the Way they conducted their business this year and satisfied that the students and faculty appree ciate their efforts, In April a number of the members went to Peoria to attend the State Convention of Student Councils. Many helpful suggestions were given them there which they brought back and put into effect during the rest of the school year. 72 ' lY7l 'V' Student Advisory Committee Mr. Nichols, Bruss, Schnirrinq, Landers, Iackson, Hczmende. Hubbard. Menichetti. Bough. Shaffer. The Student Advisory Committee is a newly created organization which originated from the combined planning by Superintendent of Schools Robert B. French, Principal Fred C. Nichols, and several student body representatives. Members of the Committee were elected by the student body with the election judges, officials, printed Tballots, booths, and everything else necessary for a real honest to goodness election. Objectives of the Committee were for stronger and more harmonious ties between students, students and faculty, and clubs and organizations. In short, the main objective was to make Feitshans High School a better school. Weekly meetings and special meetings brought forth many ideas and controversial opinions. The first direct outgrowth of the group's planning was a highly successful, free, all-school dance. Everyone who at- tended enjoyed the dancing, refreshments, and the obvious uplifting spirit of the occasion. Their second big project was the all-school amateur show, directed by Miss Pratt and M.C.'d by those two lively wits, Bob lsom and james White. Gerald Burns' crooning of l'm In the Mood for Love left the girls swooning and earned for him the coveted first prize. Three troubadours, Frank Copi, Robert Stevenson, and Frank Blake, were awarded second prize because of their beautiful rendition of the ever popular Whis- pering. The two Senior Sweethearts, Ruth Crawford and Gene Riley, carried off the third prize by their harmonious One Alone. We sincerely hope that the goals of the Committee may soon be attained and that Feitshans will soon become recognized as the outstanding school of the city.

As soon as a boy who is athletically inclined enters Feitshans he has before him the goal of crashing that select circle of Varsity Club membersfthose boys who have won major letters by competing on a var- sity team. The purposes ot the club are to promote high morale and good fellowship among all squad mem' bers and to encourage clean living, clean speech, and clean scholarship. Although the activities carried on by the Varsity Club are few, those they do undertake are well orf gonized and conducted. lnitiations to the club are unique, to say the least, and once a boy becomes a mem- ber he never misses an opportunity to help initiate the new pledges. Coach Earl Wax serves as adviser of this fine group ot athletic boys who may number among them a future All-American or two. May the Varsity Club continue to promote the ideals tor which they stand. 75 A Cappella Choir Hatcher, Blessing, Pen-ine, Iohnson, Riley. Pilcher, Meissner, Spires, Welch.

Doing a large part of this tiring job is our efficient and friendly cafeteria staff and stu- dent volunteers who wish to contribute their part in this important duty of the successful man- aging of our eating problem. To the ever-smiling helpers of the cafeteria we give a true salute. Maintenance Staff We give our thanks to the men and women who take care of the grounds and build- ing. The tasks they perform are the essentials that bring about a well-organized system, and the work that they do to make the school attractive and to keep it in repair cannot be mini- mized. We are grateful to them for their help in providing us with a school of which we can be proud. O'Neill, Green. Sanks, DeFrates. Steele. Aeronautics Class Students at Feitshans can throw out their chests with pride when talking about their school's Aeronautics class. Why? Because it is the only class of its kind in Sangamon Coun- ty and one ot but three or tour similar classes in Illinois' high schools. Feitshans students have a rare opportunity to keep abreast ot the latest inventions and innovations of the airplane industry. As private flying increases so do we, too, expect a cons tinual increase in the enrollment of our ilying class. There is a certain magnetism about planes ot all types and the normal American boy or girl thrills at being able to identity and talk intelligently about them. Our boys and girls are no exceptions. luniors and Seniors taking this course anxiously await the tardy bell so that they may start in learning and discussing various aspects of aviation. Upon completion of the course a student has enough knowledge oi aeronautics to successfully pass the private pilot's ex- amination. Several projects were completed by the class in anticipation of an exhibit at the Illinois State Fair this summer. Donald Finley turned out a fine piece ot work Cillustrated abovel. Others did equally tine jobs on smaller projects. All of these students are anxiously awaiting the completion of Springtield's new airport hoping that some day they may take oft from the new field and soar among the clouds either on business or for pleasure. The class instructor is Miss Helen Petter who proudly owns a private pilot's license and does considerable flying after her school duties are over. Ot course, Miss Peifer is able to prove her points by saying, Well, if you don't believe me, you come out to the airport after school and l'll take you up and show you. Yes, she is well qualified to present first-hand technical material to her embryo pilots. For personal interest and enthusiasm this class really has what it takes. The Schcol's Best Sellers. Magazine Drive Sell magazines, sell magazines, sell magazines. Those were the words we heard during the weeks of February 8 to 29. When Nlfally Chittenden came to us with this plan, it was considered to be a convenient way to raise funds to finance our yearbook. After all arrangements were made for conducting our sales campaign, the program was presented to the school at a special assembly. We students canvassed the city in an effort to find subscribers. At the close of the drive we not only reached our goal but went over the top. Our efforts were rewarded with valuable prizes of various descriptions. Wally Chittenden recently paid a visit to Feitshans and informed us that the Crowell- Collier Publishing Company wished to have a picture of our school to put in their National Sales Magazine. Are we proud? You bet! We Pushed Them Over the Top. Wally Chittenden How he HELPED! Thanks. Wully.
