We may do a lot of griping when teachers insert a lecture along with a lesson, but we don't really mind. Who could ever forget some of our teachers here at East? . . .

Miss McEvoy's unpredictable Zoology classes . . . Mr. Muth's heart-catching gold star assembly speeches . . . and others. The list could include every member of the East Rockford faculty, for each has a special significance. aaa at we aaa, rtaatgaatd THE FHUUHY i ,gm wa ,L iauulfu Q! .11 Right-The teachers' boxes are a frequented place before school in the morning, during lunch hours, and after school Lower Left-It appears that Mr. Lundstrom is looking either for his food or a place to sit at the faculty dinner.

MUTH Those of us who have known Elmer Dewey and have been associated with him in the schools for many years find it very hard to realize that he is gone. Everyone knew and liked Elmer. He was a good companion, friendly, easy to know, and a good conversationalist. He had a wide range of inter- ests and his information in many fields was most authoritative. Elmer had a keen sense of humor and his witticisms were appreciated by all who knew him. He poked fun at people in a kindly manner, and yet if you knew him well, you knew also that he despised sham and hypocrisy. His opinions were defi- nite, but I don't believe that he ever carried any malice in his heart. He just wasn't that kind of a fellow. Elmer liked young people and, in turn, they liked him. He could joke with them, talk their language, and listen to them. I know that in a quiet, modest, and unassuming way, he helped many young people adjust themselves to difficult situations by lending a sympathetic ear and quietly giving advice and help- ful suggestionseoften in a half joking-way. But the young people knew that was Elmer's way of saying things, and it helped them take their problem in a more realis- tic fashion without an outburst of emotionalism that was often very close to the surface' E The boys who came back from war and stopped in the office quite often ended their conversation by saying-- By the way, is Mr. Dewey still here? - Yes, he is still up in 2l6. Then the boy or the man would say, I must go up and see Elmer. There was no disrespect intended when they said Elmer in- stead of Mr. Dewey. Rather it was a word of affection and comradeship. There just isn't any way to measure the influence that Elmer had on the lives of young people-as a matter of fact he wouldn't want it measured. Yes, it's hard to realize that he is gone because the influence of his personality is still with us and will remain. 6 Mr. Selmer A. Berg, Siiperiiztenaieni of Schools As the governing body of Rockford schools, it is the re- sponsibility of the Board of Education to plan for the educa- tion of Rockford students. At the head of the group is Mr. Selmer A. Berg, Superintendent of Schools. The duties and responsibilities of Mr. Berg are many and varied. He alone is directly responsible to the Board of Edu- cation for the efficient conduct and operation of the schools. He must keep abreast of progress, continuously presenting to the board theories and plans of education to improve the schools under his supervision. Mr. Harry C. Muth, Principal As principal of East high, Mr. Harry C. Muth is directly re- sponsible not only for the smooth operation of the faculty and classroom procedure, but also for co-ordinating the extra cur- ricular activities for the enrichment of the whole school pro- gram. macho-iw SELMER H. BERG Superintendent of Schools HARRY C, MUTH Principal The Board of Education The Board of Education concerns itself with formulating and approving the administrative policies of the schools. In order that this may be more easily done, the Board is divided into three committees. The Building and Grounds Committee has to do with the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of schools as well as the purchasing and improving of school sites and grounds. It is the duty of the Educational Committee to hire teachers and all other employees. Planning the budget, approving the purchasing of supplies, and keeping financial records is the job of the Finance and Purchasing Committee. The Board also employs an Attorney-at-Law to represent the Board of Educa- tion in all law-suits to which the board is a party. All board members are appointed by the mayor. They rep- resent citizens who are concerned with the public education of the youth of today and tomorrow. These members render the highest type of service and devote hours of work to the solution of problems with which the school system is faced. Snmiiing: Leonard Key, John Barelli, Harry Shaw, Charles Davis, George C. Olin, Lawrence A. Johnson, Ernest Estwing, Charles W. Roe, S. Peter Ekstrom. Sitting: Vera Walling, Thomas Walling, Mrs. Murrell England, Mrs. Marion Bates, Loren Whitehead, Selmer Berg. After teaching school for more years than I care to recall, I feel qualified to con- clude that there are always many very fine people among you students at East High School. You may differ in ability, in personality, and in willingness to accept responsibility, but you have the youth and enthusiasm which this sad old world needs. Make the most of your school days in preparation for mature living. WINIFRED LEDGER Dean of Girlr In retrospect, we view the events of an- other school year. To many it may have been a year of success, to others, success may not have been the kind you thought it would be. As a graduate, your experience at East High School now approximates twelve years of educational endeavor. ' Let the best that has come to you from East High School be a strong motivating factor in your life, and your influence will be felt in making this a more peaceful world in which to live. HARRY KROLI, WINIFRED LEDGER Dean of Girls Arrirmnt Principal Qeanaarud Jiclilum HARRY W. KROLI.. Arsirtant Principal HAZEL KOCH - RUTH WHITE CATHERINE NEEDHAM 5'e'1i0f Advifef lumof Adwfef Sophomore Adviser Miss Winifred Ledger, dean of girls, schedules school activities, checks the irregular list and is always willing to help a girl when in need of advice. Besides her duties as dean she teaches history. Assistant Principal Mr. Kroll is also the dean of boys. He makes out student programs, supervises tickets and attendance for all games, acts as adviser of Student Council and helps students with their prob- lems pertaining to school. TO THE SENIORS The twelfth year is the year of fulfillment. The senior is important, admired, looked up to. He leads the ROTC, edits the paper and year book, and struts a little before his younger classmen. He orders his cap and gown, brings his mother and his best manners to the tea, and really splurges at the Senior Prom. And then Time plays his little trick. One minute John Senior is swaggering down the hall toward 129, lord of high school creation, and then in a whiff of a second the orchestra is playing Auld Lang Sync at the Senior Prom. His throat feels a little queer--bit of a cold, maybe-as he looks around the gym, It is his last party there. And then the Choir sings The Lord Bless Thee and Keep Thee, his diploma is in his hand, and he is laying off his cap and gown, leaving it there in the lonely theatre. It may be a commencement, but it is also the end of his high school days. Fine chapters remain to be written, but a very dear one has been Enishedf' HAZEL KOCH, Senior Advirer TO THE JUNIORS Today as never before, every boy and girl must be educated in order to preserve civilization in the atomic age we are now entering. Education is the most powerful agent in the world. Through the lack of it or the misuse of it wars have been brought upon civilization. Only through education-and education of the right kind-can peace be brought. Therefore, my message is this: Accept cheerfully and appreciatively your opportunity to attend school, and read, study, think -do these three diligently in the interest of your own happiness and welfare and that of posterity. A MISS RUTH WHITE, lnnior Adviser TO THE SOPHOMORES I hope your sophomore year has proved an interesting one.

Shown here is an ambitious group of people trying to digest the history of modern Europe under the direction of Miss joy FraiPont. Although the term paper was difficult, most students didn't mind history at all. Symbolic of the beginning of a higher education are these students who are shown entering the building for college classes. They are striving for better living through an education. The two fellows at the right seem to be in a very popular spot-in front of the coke machine. Shown here are Leland E. Johnson and R. Frank Johnson. Something new was added to East High this year-the University of Illinois Extension Course. Offered because of the crowded conditions in most universities and colleges throughout the nation, the freshman course provided 138 young men and women, mostly returned service- men, with an opportunity to begin their higher education. Because it included only the freshman year, the name Junior College was soon attached to it. On this and the next few pages, an attempt has been made to bring out some of the outstanding activities of the Junior College. Beginning two weeks after the high school session started in the fall, the college offered courses in rhetoric, accounting, German, hy- giene, mathematics, economics, history, chemistry, and drawing. Classes for the most part were intermixed with the regular high school schedule. The outstanding project of the college students was the establishment of a college lounge in room 226. This room served the dual purpose of a study hall and a recreation room. Students trying to figure out how to diagram a sentence sat side by side with equally earnest checker players. The cokel' machine was a great success with darts and cards following close behind. The library served as a second supply of textbooks to students in most courses. Miss Eleanor Heuver and her staff of assistant librarians were kept busy finding books which the fellows and gals might need for a special economics report, a history assignment, or the theoretical results of a certain chemistry experiment. Writing the news of the class was the job of Fay Carlson whose column, Meet Joe College, was a weekly feature of the EAST HIGHLIGHTS. Early in the first semester the class sponsored a get acquainted mixer in the cafeteria. Very informal, the mixer-goers danced, sang, played the piano, and ate refreshments including cokes, potato chips, and candy bars. MR. HARRY C. MUTH Director PRESIDENT GEORGE D. STODDARD University of Illinois Dr. George D. Stoddard became President of the University of MISS HAZEL KOCH Illinois on july 1, 1946, succeeding Dr. Arthur Cutts Willard. Before Advlssf 1942, he was a member of the faculty of the Iowa State University. Between 1942 and the time he assumed direction of the Illini U., he was commissioner of education of the State of New York. Currently chairman of the American Council on Education and a member of the Presidential Commission on Higher Education, Dr. Stoddard has served as delegate to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization. He has written several books and is author of over 200 articles. Directing the extension course here at East High is Mr. Harry C. Muth, principal of the school. Mr. Muth's many duties included interviewing prospective students and enrolled students explaining the values of education and trying to fit classes with a view to the student's choice of his or her life's work. When the student decided to change his course, it was Mr. Muth who had to approve the change. Mr. Muth holds his MA degree from the University of Chicago. The capable adviser of the class was Miss Hazel Koch. With a wealth of experience gained in advising students as to the college they should attend through her capacity as senior class adviser, she turned part of her talents into checking classes, advising students on their courses, and helping class ofhcers plan extra-curricular activities. Miss Koch holds her Master of Arts degree from the University of Chicago. ffeea Electing officers is the democratic privilege of all groups. Realizing this, the freshman class of the U. of I. exten- sion course at East High placed the choos- ing of officers as one of their first actions. Presiding over meetings became the re- sponsibility of LaVerne Ax, president, who was succeeded, when he left the course during the second semester, by Evans Erickson, vice-president. Sally Bul- lard kept the records of the class While the finances were managed by Fletcher johnson. Among their many duties were directing activities in the lounge, plan- ning parties, hearing complaints, and working with Mr. Muth and Miss Koch.

Rhetoric was the one course in which practically all students were enrolled. To most it was also a scourge of college life. The great wonder to most students was, How could I forget so much since my high school days?U But everyone seemed to have forgotten, and so the first few papers came back covered with red pencil marks denoting incorrect spelling, wrong word usage, dang- ling participles, incorrect punctuation, and a score of other errors. Vocabulary was another thing of wonderment. The fellows and gals seemed to think that the instructors searched Rogetfr Tbemurus of the Englirh Language for its most obscure words.

EBL Their clothes were on inside-out, part Cy of their hair was flopped up on top of ' I their heads while the rest just hung il. f straight and forlornly, and one foot of each girl was adorned with a knee-sock and a slipper. Who were these odd-look- ing creatures? Why, the new A B L members undergoing the proper initia- tion ceremonies. Oh, how foolish, you think, but after their hair was curled once more and clothes were turned right-side-out, these girls pitched in and helped the senior members plan, sell tickets, and decorate the gym for the Toyland Twirlf a semi-formal dance which proved' a huge success. About 500 young people waltzed and jitter-bugged in a gym decorated with green and white crepe paper, Christmas trees, and toys. In one corner of the large room Santa warmed his toes in front of a fireplace after he had filled the stockings. A quaint little top counter in another corner of the room boasted a fine array of dolls, balls, stuffed animals and other toys. A large Christmas tree festooned with sparkling sil- ver icicles, brightly colored balls, and angel hair, partially concealed packages wrapped in gay paper and ribbons.

To be eligible for this honor first of all a student must rank in the upperfthird of his class schol- astically and must be a leader in the classroom or some worthwhile project. The student body cast their votes for or against their classmates before the committee of faculty members make the hnal decision. Because the society is exclusively honorary, the group does not meet regularly or carry on special projects. Again this year members were given an opportunity to take the National Honor Scholarship test which awards the ten highest winners in the country a four- year scholarship to any college. All members of the society were eligible to take the test but the number at Heading the 1946 National Honor processional were Sam Guerrera, president, and Charles Anderson, vice-president. The brains of East High are shown below during the 1946 induction assembly. A , ., ,,., ................... Top Row: Baxter, Apitz, R. XV, Johnson. Cederholm, I. Johnson, Spiekerman, A. Johnson.

This is the time set aside for those argumentative individuals to compare their ideas with the ideas of their equally pugnacious colleagues or The question for debate this year was Resolved that the federal government shall provide complete medical care at public expense. First team members of the affirmatives were Joanne Ekedahl, Jim Valentine, Dorothy Voss, and Barbara Groneman. Participants on the negative were Chuck Solomonson and Sue Wahlstrom. Acting co-cap- tains for the team this year were Snuggles Voss, affirma- tive, and Sue Wahlstrom, negative. Due to severe weather conditions, debaters were unable to travel to all of the invitational tournaments. However, the tourneys included trips to Elgin, Augustana, and the district at West Rockford. At this tourney, Ed Eagle, Glen Brolander, Chuck Solomonson, and The Flattering Word, a play presented by other debate members, qualified for the sectional at East high. First place victors in the sectional debate and speech contest are downstate candidates, and Chuck Solomonson and the play cast made the trip to Champaign on April 12. The debaters finished in the third spot to eliminate them from state competition. Could I help you? This expression may be heard many times throughout the day in the nucleus of East High's student activities-the library. It is certainly comforting to know that there is someone who will be ready and willing to help you solve the intricacies of the Dewey Decimal system when you step into this book- crowded room. Since service to the library is the main objective of the members of this club, it is necessary for them to have business meetings only on call of the officers. A1- though you may wonder just how that girl could find in two minutes the book for which you had been search- ing for one hour, these helpers are only regular stu- dents who learn the why's and wherefore's of the library through experience, and who maintain- a scholastic average of C or above for eligibility. During the year the members have a number of parties and picnics. These parties are sometimes held at a member's home or in' the library. For the last two years in the spring and fall picnics have been held at Brnt- ner's farm on Guilford Road and are the favorite social event during the year. At least three of these social events are held during each semester. Open forums are held each hour of the day in the library office where the girls meet to studyi' when not busy in the library. Also in the oiiice is the club mascot Dirk, a cookie jar, a very popular members of the club.

Eligibility for membership depends upon the student's ability to sight read, the tone quality he or she possesses, and his general musical ear and knowledge. Because all these facts are taken into consideration and also because the members themselves are willing to cooperate, this A Cappella choir has developed into a musical organization which is known not only in Rockford but in surrounding cities as well.

A Jr X . . . . - .,. At their organization meeting, En ingelfsg the club members, under the su- 'Q pervision of Mr. Walter Boguski, sent out cards explaining the club functions to those boys who qualified. To be eligible for membership a boy must have a background of math, physical science, or industrial subjects. The first social event was the initiation meeting at which time the inductees really got the works. Every- thing from eating red peppers to receiving egg shampoos was undergone by the new members. But all's well that end's well, they say, and after the formal initiation, club members were invited to drown their cares in the East High swimming pool which was rented for the occasion. Other enjoyable social times were the hayride on November 27 and the outdoor recreational parties. Also on the year's agenda were inspection trips to local points of interest such as Bell Telephone Company, Greenlees and the electric company. At some of the bi- monthly meetings the Junior Engineers saw movies on new engineering skills and equipment, and heard lectures from outstanding men on various phases of engineering.

To further interest in the Latin lang- QCL uage and to establish friendliness among the Latin students of East is the purpose of this club, the name of which means, Where are we going? During the meetings, the members participate in quizzes and games which are related to the Latin language. A very popular source of entertainment and one which is educational as well, comes from the acting of plays writ- ten by the members. Very often, programs are furnished by finding how many English words are derived from the Latin. It is surprising to End just how many everyday words come from this now-dead language. Oftentimes, a treat is offered at the meetings in the form of refreshments. Officers: Miss Helen Kelley, Adviser, Roger Sheik, Con- sul, Sue Wahlstrom, Praetorg Barbara Forsell, Censor, and Dorothy Voss, Quaestor.

Of the 87 members of the concert orchestra, 30 are graduating seniors including all but two first violins. Irving Weinstein, concertmaster for two years, is among this group as well as Christ Kostantacos, brass section leader. Up and coming is a term that could be given to the two harp players in this yearis group. For both Clara Rae Wolfensperger and Vana Anderson are sophomores and have two more years. They have been featured in many g concerts this year and are planning more duets in the future, Officers: Harris Maney, Presidentg Irving Weinstein, Vice-President, Shirley Oberg, Secretary, Anne Rourke, Treasurerg Mavis Gahlbeck, Marilyn North, Carolyn Herr- strum, Librarians.

If you were to ask any musician H42 what the treble clef is, he would say W F that it is the little curlicue figure lo- LQ cated at the beginning of each line of printed music. But if you were to ask 'f any East High student what the Treble Clef is, he would answer, An exclu- sive choral group at East composed entirely of girls who have been chosen for membership by voice testsf' L ,- As the name would suggest, the group sings music writ- ten only in the treble clef and usually four-part harmony. In addition to this the girls sing secular and sacred music only and make public appearances at churches. This year they sang for the Ladies' Aid Society at the First Lutheran Church. They appeared also with the other choral groups on the Christmas program and as members of the operetta cast. Besides singing, members learn how to direct a chorus, learn key signatures, notes, sight reading, and other me- chanics of music. The group, which is directed by Mr. Linden Lundstrom, meets every day during sixth hour in room 213.

Qiee GEM When you get that worn-out, droopy X feeling 'long about the middle of the ,ig afternoon, don't you wish you could sit wif down somewhere and let go with a lusty R if -.ff J song? This desire is realized by a group L V ' of students who are assembled in room 215 every day during fifth hour. If you have ever walked past the choral room C when the Glee Club is at work, you l realize that they do let go and sing with a great deal of vim, vigor, and vitality. The main purpose of this club is sheer enjoyment of music and singing for its members. They learn various songs, the most popular being Three Frolicking Maidens which is a Scandinavian number. Another song which has rated high among the singers is Bluebirds, a very light song with a lot of harmony and zip. The Glee Club par- ticipated in the Christmas assembly and also sang at a regular school assembly The major undertaking of the club is helping with the choral work in the operetta. To become a member of the Glee Club, you must be tested by the director, Linden Lundstrom fLindyb who decides according to general musical ability.

Everyone may munch his ham salad sand- wich to the strains of Chloe or White Christmas as a result of the Music Committees work. During the year, the council has stressed safety both in and out of school. Rules for safe driving were shown in some of the movies given at assemblies, in which students were shown how not to drive and were given pointers for safe driving. Many a boy or girl will remember the voice of Safety Sam warning him to Be Careful on slippery streets and busy intersections. Also under the supervision of the Safety Committee were the pictures taken of hazards in and near school which were made into posters showing such things as running in halls and walking on Charles Street.

This safety program was stressed in East's display at the annual state meeting in Chicago on March 28 and 29. Other pictures of activities sponsored by the student council, one of the most active in the area, were also shown. The club's of- ficers and next year's president made the trip to Chicago where all schools of this area had displayed various pictures of their school activities. Many letters were received by East High's Student Council after publication of a drawing and article about the memorial garden in a national magazine Student Life. Schools from other sections of the country wanted additional information about this project undertaken in memory of Eastls gold star boys. The publication mentioned that the living memorial is being financed by the Student Council and other school groups, and also gave a detailed description of the garden itself, com- plete with the landscaper's plan.

Some of these S 1 ' girls like their work so well that they C- 0 not only belong to Foods or Everyday Living classes, but have formed the Seed, club, the name being derived from the first two letters of sewing and cooking Under Miss Marion Whittle's able advising they do many things concerning sewing, cooking, and home making, such as discussing flower arrangements, beauty culture work, and all kinds of interior decorating for modern homes. They sometimes do work for wounded veterans' hospitals or the Red Cross and so are kept busy doing their favorite things during the year. First semester enrollment in this popular club was approximately 25 members and dues of 20 cents were paid at the beginning of the semester. Initiation is always amusing. After being initiated the first semester, new members strolled. around the school with quaint aprons over their clothing, head-bands, and they brought two presents each for the Red Cross Drive then in progress. One of the main attractions of the year was the Seco tea, which was given for members and their mothers. It was held after school on May 19 and gave new ex- perience to girls not accustomed to the work connected with a tea. Among many guest speakers who visited Seco meet- ings was Miss Bernice Olson, policewoman. She told of some of the most exciting and humorous experiences encountered in her profession. Another speaker was a representative of Rockford School of Beauty. Using the correct methods and shades of make-up, she com- pletely made up Joanne Lyford and then answered any questions the girls wanted to ask.

A Usually the student, unless he's a sopho- A,' more, knows well where he is going, and it Mono is up to the monitor to put a stop to his little adventures-unless, of course, he pre- sents a good excuse or admit. If you were a visitor, the approach naturally would be different, for instance Pardon me, sir, are you looking for something? Thatls our little monitor for you-always on the job, catching straysl' in the halls, taking care of the hall lights, and directing visitors through the school-a job for really ambitious and dependable students. There are only two requirements for this club, and they are: a student must have a HC average in studies and the same study-hall every day of the week. But it isn't all work and no play-the members hold parties, dances, sleighrides, and picnics to add a little flavor to their duties as monitors.

Making a trip to Chicago highlighted Hi-Y's activities for the first semester this year. Representatives from East included Jerry Flood, John Peterson, Harold Peterson, Dave Mott, and John Anderson. Talks on vacations, religion, and remedying com- munity faults are basic in the club's yearly program. One such talk was given by an OSS man from Sweden. He explained how the office of strategic service aided Americans in Sweden and the work done in that neutral country during the war. Another get-together is the fellowship held in the pool and school gym. This is held about once a month and is well attended. Since the organization is connected with the YMCA, the fellows were taken through the newly-constructed lodge on the river bank. Says John Peterson, a typical Hi-Yer, It is huge, rustic, and very comfortable-ideal for dances and partiesf' The club has use of the lodge whenever they desire it. A hayride and the annual closed dance were get-to- gethers that produced lots of fun for the fellows and 110 their girl friends. Since it is a small dance, it is held in the teachers' dining room in the cafeteria. In the line of service, some of the members collected dimes in local theaters for the March of Dimes campaign in january. Movies are sometimes shown at meetings and one well remembered was Football Highlights of 1946 A great change was induced into the old constitution and considerable readjustment took place. More string- ent rules require active membership, regularity in regard to dues and attendance, and a loss of membership to anyone with two or more unexcused absences.

Mrs. Robert Gregorcy, now a resident of Rockford, related stories and facts about the European country interesting to the French-speaking studes. Club members shuddered at the thought of eating raw oysters, a French delicacy, but had gay visions of taking their dates for a jaunt on a bicycle built for two. This means of transportation is very common in France, and old and young alike convey themselves in such a manner. The East High students thought themselves very lucky when told the pupils across the sea enter high school at the age of twelve, taking subjects that would be considered a full course for an eighteen year old here. At other meetings of the club, bingo and guessing games are played. If you had not taken the subject you would find it rather diflicult to participate in these, for all con- versing is done in French. Thus, one could sit waiting for B-seven to be called, not knowing that B-seven meant just that. No, it would never do for you to play bingo at one of the French meeting without a knowledge of the lan- guage.

If curious students were allowed DANGiNG to enter the aud, they would find a group of 16 East High students folk CO dancing. It's very likely that they might be practicing the Doll Dance, one of the most popular Scandinavian dances. It begins with an energetic step, brush, hop, step, brush, hop, leading into a rather strenuous process of wringing the dish rag. When this ordeal is completed, the boys jump back- wards, landing precariously on their heels with their toes and thumbs pointing out. The girls return this little solo dance with a dainty waltz step, winking and Hitting all the time. Then the couple does a slide step accompanied by more flirting on the part of the girls. CWhat's the matter with the boys?D The fel- lows then lift their partners into the air and practic- ally throw them down to the floor, an act especially enjoyed by the boys, but for some reason the girls donlt seem to share their enthusiasm. Maybe itls be- cause one of them almost landed on her face. After this has been repeated several times, the couples schot- tische off the stage. The Dance Group is usually responsible for one as- sembly a year. They also perform for PTA's and various other organizations. The first group, consisting of four couples, dances on all important occasions, while the other members take turns. All members of the organizations are required to belong to A Cappella or Glee Club. Comin' thru is M, Darby as J. Rehn, S. Oberg, R. Mt- Graw, and A. Guerrera await the warning tug. At the end of a strenuous chorus M. Brobeck, J. MacArthur, L. Carlson, J. Dunn, P. Lundquist, and B.

Malmgren. j,urukmRed Chow, Are there any more Red Cross contributions? These Q5GM'-1, were familiar words voiced by S' 73 the home room junior Red fp lf' Cross representatives during eo 00 the enrollment drive in No- vember. The answer to this question must have been yes,' in most cases because the compaign was climaxed with a total of 3199.56 in funds and 48 gift boxes containing pencils, soap, tooth paste, and brushes, paper, and other small necessities. Most of the money is being used to help the unfortunate children of Europe, and the boxes were also sent to European countries, To create more interest in the drive, the East High chapter of the Junior Red Cross presented an assembly program consisting of skits-portraying different phases of Red Cross work. One scene showed a group of young people in the school room packing gift boxes. In the follow- ing scene Swedish, French, and Spanish students acted as young people of the foreign lands re- ceiving the boxes. Not all Junior Red Cross work concerns foreign people, however. The art classes made various holiday tray favors and wall decorations for hos- pitalized veterans. Because of the difficulty in getting all home room representatives to attend a meeting, officers of the East High chapter decided to form a junior Red Cross Council composed of two students each from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. This council discusses the problems and plans, and then relates the decisions to the home room rep- resentatives. Junior Red Cross members from the schools in various small towns surrounding Rockford met in January at West High to discuss their activities and learn what projects other schools were work- ing on. First semester officers were: president, Mavis Gahlbeckg vice-president, Roger Sheik, secretary, Gladys Garmagerg and treasurer, Joan Rehn. Inspecting the Red Cross boxes prepared by individual home rooms were representatives ,loan Rehn, Roger Sheik, Mavis Gahlbeck, and Fred Maxwell. Members of the newly formed Red Cross council were: standing, Dick Beckenbaugh, Roger Sheik, and Bill Hollingsworth. Seated, Pat Johnson, Dallas Fincham, Mavis Gahlbeck, and Joan Rehn.

They have their own meetings and activi- tives, but keep in touch with the other two parts of the club, in case of combined club banquets or projects. Their activities are similar to those of the club as a whole in many respects. At Christmas time, the girls went caroling-a cherished activity among the gay Y-Teens-and warmed many hearts in singing out the Christmas spirit. Together with the juniors, this sophomore group sponsored a dress-up dance at the USO on March 22. Parties are held by the soph girls also, and they further T their own social and cultural opportunities.

For great times of fun and entertainment, 0 the Y-Teen Club rates tops among the girls of East High. This lively group enjoys many advantages as members, and so the club has a good enrollment. Gwen Lindevall is the sponsor, and is both a pal and adviser to the girls. The meeting place is the YWCA. The time is every Wed- nesday night at 7:30 P.M., and dues are 75C a semester. But to get to the more interesting side of it-the activities are numerous, and members are always busy having a good time. Mary Lou Kleindl, treasurer. They plan parties, dances, picnics, banquets, and hayrides- and each turns out a success. Officers of the clubs gather for an inter-club council meeting once a month for further planning and to find out about each other's activities. Every other Wednesday night is activities night at the Y, recreational facilities are set up and games of all kinds are played. At Christmas there was a party for boys and girls from the Children's Home, and a World Fellowship Banquet was a success, featuring a speaker from Rockford College. There is a cooking class at the Gas and Electric building for Y-Teen girls who like that line of work, and on February 12 jumble y-.hem This is the new middle group of the club. These junior girls have their own section of Y-Teens too, and their activities are just as interesting. The girls went caroling at Christmas. When they fin- ished their sweet serenades and began to feel chilly, they came back to the YWCA and had warming refreshments. There was an enjoyable Christmas program too. And a hayride turned out very pleas- antly on one of their Wednesday meeting nights when the weather was mild and the moon was bright. juniors enjoy the recreation parties, alter- nating every other Wednesday night and par- ticipate whole-heartedly in their club.

They are spending their last year in Y-Teens, and will miss it as a vital part of East High. Their activities, after which the sophomore and junior clubs are patterned, take up much of the girls' time. They also went caroling at Christmas and took an upper- hand in the Children's Home Program and World Fellowship Banquet. A series of discussions on marriage, boy-girl relationships, personality de- velopment, college, and careers formed an interest- ing and valuable part of the Senior Y-Teens' ac- tivities. Also on the senior agenda was a Senior Farewell, a party given by the juniors and sopho- mores to say Good-byel' to the seniors and wish them luck in whatever they might undertake after graduation. OFFICERS jean Ward, president, Pat Wells and Jeannine Clark, vice-presidents, joan McCully, secretary, Lorraine Olson, treasurer. Q members attended a Youth Hostel for the day. These are but a few of the many activities in which the Y-Teeners indulge. A good time is enjoyed always, but beware the initiation! Only girls with a stout heart and a sense of sisterly love can survive that! And to signify their membership, the Y-Teeners wear a small, impressive triangular-shaped pin with a globe superimposed on it, representing the world-wide function of the Y. This club, besides offering great opportunities for enjoyment and laughs, promotes closer and friendlier relations between high schoo girls and boys, and a better personality and character is de- veloped in each member.

They are quite an interesting group of people, under the able direction of Mr. Richard Martikonis. Art, music, and drama have for centuries been combined to pro- duce beautiful things-for what is a rose without sweet music for it to sway to, and a young admirer to gaze at it? These arts fit together well, and so the club was or- ganized to combine people talented with their hands in art creation, talented with their minds in music, and talented with their expressions in dramatics. Triple Arts is a large club, since there are so many talented boys and girls at East. Usual meetings nights are on Wednesday and dues are 25 cents a semester. The club some- times fingerpaints at these meetings. For dramatists, a play was planned and musicians provided the music. A mixer patty was given earlier in the year and games and rec- ords were played and refreshments were served. The artists, musicians, and actors get along very well, and the club as a whole is friendly and full of ideas for good times and fun.

Then he inserted the film carrier into the back of the camera, pulled out the slide, and adjusted the parallax on the view finder. The Publication Staff Photographers Or- ganization member goes through these motions and many more every time he prepares to snap a picture. If the shot requires flash bulbs, his task is doubled. But the photographer is not the only one in the club who works. Several East High students spend many hours a week developing, printing, and enlarg- ing photos. With regular assignments from the Highlights and Argus, plus snapping shots that they consider of interest to the school, the club members are really kept busy a good deal of the time. Pictures are sold to the two organizations just men- tioned and also to the student body. The money re- ceived is used to buy new equipment. East Highians can be especially proud of their annuals this year be- cause almost all the pictures except the individual student ones have been taken and finished by their own classmates-the Photo Club members This hard-working group is especially proud of two things: first their charter, received just this year because the organization is new, and second their scrapbook containing a picture for every negative- even the ones that don't turn out well.

Rawwa Oggtbma jaaining Qaftyw Thrice weekly approximately 500 cadets, divided into three companies, spend one hour in the study of some phase of military work as members of the East High ROTC bat- talion. Under the supervision of Lt. Colonel john W. Brit- ten, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, and Sergeant Robert W. Timm, military instructor, the cadets study those subjects which will not only make them better soldiers in time of war but will also make them better citizens in time of peace. The primary purpose of the course is to extend the foun- dation of intelligent citizenship to the high school student by emphasizing precision, orderliness, courtesy, correctness of posture, physical development, leadership, and respect for and loyalty to all constituted authority. Secondly, the student learns basic knowledge which would be of imme- diate use in case of any military emergency. Two years is the time required to completely cover the entire course, with the third year being used, by those cadets who continue in the work, in instructing and leading the junior cadets. Basic guides to the course are furnished by War Depart- ment field manuals and the Junior ROTC manual with special instructors' books and pamphlets also available for more precise study. The first semester of each year is given over to basic drill training with some theoretical work near the end of the term. The second semester finds an increase in the teaching of classroom, field, and battle knowledge and conditions and a lessening of drill. A prescribed course established by the commanding officer of the Fifith Army Area in charge of ROTC work is followed and strict ad- herence is necessary if the school unit is to retain the high standard that it has always held. The climax of the year falls on the day when inspectors from Fifth Army Headquarters visit and scrutinize the school. The unit is graded on the basis of school interest and support, facilities available to cadets, and the general knowledge of the cadets, in drill ability, neatness, applica- tion of field training, and correctness in classroom learning.

Battalion Sponsor B l' C deaf. .E. Leading the battalion in the capacity of Cadet Major the first semester, and Lt. Colonel the second semester, Ralph Spiekerman carried the responsibility for the coordinating of the three com- panies into a working, compact unit. During the first semester he was assisted by 2nd Lt. Ronald Egner, range ofhcer, and the company officers and non-commissioned officers. The second semester saw former company commander Bill Bliese appointed battalion adjutant with the rank of major, and lst Lts. Donell Tekawa and Ronald Egner aiding in positions of records and ordinance officers respectively. Master Sgt. Harold Peterson headed the non-commissioned officers and Technical Sgt. Don Holt served as public relations non-com. It is the duty of these officers to combine the thtee companies and battalion stafif into an excellent operating piece of military equipment to have the unit make a good record in the Federal Inspection, parades, and other formal affairs. A silent moment falls as the band plays the Star Spangled Lt. Harris Maney leads in a lecture on the Browning Automatic Banner and the cadets come to present arms at the Federal Inspection. Rifie before B company as Lt. Stewart Regan points out the parts on the weapon. 3 rl fsasa, W x rw ' A To teach cadets discipline and smartness in drill, the subject of military drill and com- mand is the first studied each year. The cadets learn to take and follow out orders, assume responsibility, and acquire self-con- fidence through this drill. Once this has been mastered they study military organiza- tion, first aid, rifle marksmanship, and mili- tary courtesy besides holding several formal inspections. This constitutes the first semes- ter's work. Each company has three com- missioned oflicers and eighteen non-commis- sioned officers for the first semester. Vacan- cies are left in the officer staff so that worthy cadets may be promoted during the second semester. Commanding Company A for first semes- ter was Cadet Captain William Bliese and his sponsor, Miss Shirley Oberg. Lieutenants Harris Maney and Quentin Bowen were pla- toon commanders.

The other subjects are self-explanatory but the extended order drill is the study of those tactics and methods used under combat by squad and platoon sections. An extensive study is also given to such weapons as the .30 caliber rifles and machine gun, the .50 caliber machine gun, the Brown- ing Automatic rifle, the .45 caliber pistol, the .30 caliber Carbine, and the 60 and 80 mili- meter mortars. One of the official activities of the unit is marching in two parades a year.

At this drill the smartest-appearing, best-drilling company, platoon, and squad in the battalion is chosen at a special drill, open to the public, in which each is taken through a pre-planned drill by the respective leaders and the best is picked on the basis of excel- lence. Also three awards are made to the most outstanding tirst, second, and third year cadets, considering ROTC work, scholastic standing, and extra curricular activities, by the Rockford Morning Star and Register-Re public. In addition to these awards there are one superior and three outstanding awards given to cadets chosen by Sergeant Timm and Colonel Britten. Three members of Company C received these awards for the first semester. Lt. Donell Tekawa was honored as superior cadet, and Lt. Irving Weinstein and Cadet Thomas Woodworth were chosen as outstanding third and first year cadets respectively. Cadet Lt. Donell Tekawa Tow Row: SfSgt. W.

' jeam Because of the lack of sufficient time in which to practice, the rifle teams at East prior to this year have failed to be as strong as they might have been. To off-set this handicap the trigger squeezersn on the East batallion fired only a few matches in order to concentrate on a new training technique under the direction and supervision of Sgt. Robert W. Timm. Training and practice were stressed strongly for sophomores and juniors who will be back to form the core of next year's shooters. For the first time in the team's history, a sophomore team was organized, in order to give more experience and knowledge. Much time was spent outside of school hours by Sgt. Timm in the training of the underclassmen from whom good results are expected on the range next season. Five members of this year's Bulls-eye pluggersu received major R rnonograms, while five others earned minor awards. Ray Davis, a consistently high scoring senior, was elected captain by his teammates. Receiving major letters were: Davis, Roy McGraw, and Richard XV. Peterson, seniors, Loren Anderson and Allan Easton, both high scoring juniors who will be the mainstays next year. Those to receive minor letters were john Akey, Roger H.

Uamdg, 20-0-65-aff After four years' Navy service, Harry Palmer has again turned his excellent abilities to his duties as head varsity football mentor. Due to last year's abbreviated season, this year's squad lacked experience, but Coach Palmer and his assistant, Coach Clarence Steve Polaski, soon molded it into a formidable team which, through their eagerness to learn and their desire to improve, put some highly regarded teams in their places and ended in third place in the Big Eight Conference race. Coach Polaski also had charge of the new junior Varsity or ganized to provide experience for work on next year's varsity. The Rabblers played five games, battling the Oregon varsity to a scoreless tie and beating the West High reserves, but dropping two games to the Beloit B team, the Beloit sophs, and one to the Harlem gridders. The varsity gridders played a ten-game schedule, winning four and losing six against highly-touted foes. The Rabs started slowly, opening their season with a loss to the strong York of Elmhurst outfit at Elmhurst, 26-14. Two first quarter touchdowns by Herbie Schulz put the Rabs in front at the half, 14-15, but York's star, Tideman, came back with two goals in the third quarter to sink the Rabs' hopes. Showing improvement in the second game, the Eastites lost a thrilling battle to Wisconsin's state champions, Madison West, Bogdonas on a 49-yard run and a three- yard plunge, East led 12-7 at the end of the third quarter.

In the second half LaVerne Willis blocked an L-P punt on the L-P 40-yard line and East scored in two plays. A recovered fumble on the L-P 25-yard stripe set up the final tally for East and Clarence Dzik dropkicked the extra point. The Palmermen then traveled to Freeport where they continued to remain unscored upon in conference play by blanking the Pretzels 15-0. Bogdonas scored from the four- yard line after East had recovered a Pretzel fumble near mid-field. Ed Naretta scored the second touchdown after scooping up a blocked punt on the Freeport one-yard stripe and stepping into the end zone.

East's failure to make a conversion in their first battle, at York of Elmhurst, provided a 7-6 win for the home team. Frank Sonny Calacurcio's long punt return gave East a six-point tally, but Yorkis conversion gave the margin of victory to the yearlings. , Suffering their second defeat to Madison West's gigantic Varsity B's, the Rablets were unable to score until the third period when Calacurcio plunged over into the Madison end zone. The ragged play of the small inexperienced soph squad was in part compensated by for by Sonny Calacurcio, who, besides taking 90 per cent of the offensive assignments, was required to take the majority of tackles on defense in the early part of the season. The sophs were again tripped up, in their conference opener, by Joliet on the Steelmen's gridiron, 18-7, as Calacurcio again carried the burden for the hapless Rablets. More spark was seen the second conference game as the Rabs outplayed the LaSalle-Peru minors in the first half, only to be inundated by a flood of Cavalier points in the remaining periods, as L-P went home 19-0 victors. After a week of extensive practice under Coaches Allen and Assistant Russell Erb, the aroused Rabs trounced the Freeport frosh-soph 12-7, for their first win of the season. In a fourth Big Eight battle, West Aurorasuccumbed 18-0, as Ray'Akelaitis, Bob Aden, and Melvin Pearson tallied, in the second .Red and Black conference victory. East Autor, amidst peasoup fog, downed the Rablets I4-7 at Aurora. Calacurcio broke away for 87 yards and East's only marker, in the first half. Calacurcio to Akelaitis, complete was the combination that afforded three touchdowns and numerous long gains for East in overwhelming Elgin, 27-6, the following week. Sonny Calacurcio galloped through 73 yards of mud and snow in the third play of the game to mire Westls Papooses in the annual cross-town duel and the season's final game. The West-siders never threatened East's six-point advantage. Frank Calacurcio and Ray Akelaitis were awarded quarterback and end positions, Q respectively, on the All-Conference first team. Frank R.

The East matmen fielded a light and inexperienced team but interest in the sport was high and the team showed a fairly good record for a resumption year against some stronger and more experienced foes by winning two and losing four matches. Twenty-seven candidates answered the first call for squad members as the year opened. East had not had a team since 1943 when Mr. Emery Fritsch had replaced Coach Erb when he left for the season. Many of the grapplers were juniors and sophomores who will be back next year to form the core of another team. The gRABS aroused interest in the sport by many exhibitions between halves of the basketball games and by the end of the year began to develop into a fine team. ' Collecting knowledge, the Erbmen dropped two matches to Joliet, 34-10 and 37-7, and also two to Elgin, 25-21 and 21-19 but came back at the end of the season to twice defeat the Racine Park Wranglers, 22-9 and 25-12 to conclude the season. In the state meet Jack Eklund, in the 127 pound class, fought his way to the semi-finals before being defeated. Other outstanding matmen were LaVerne Willis, 'f team captain, in the 165 pound class, and Howie Curtis in the heavyweight field. .. .- Receiving letters at the end of the year .-. t -as.' r ,f . were Willis, Curtis, Eklund, Jerry Carl- son, Roger Freeman, Dave Geraldson, Ray 1 f Dick Osborne.

The Laudemen racked up a striking record of 24 wins and only two losses by beating the best teams that northern Illinois could offer. This was accomplished by chalking up the amazing total of 1550 points while holding their oft-times confounded opponents to a mere 1041. The racing Rab scoring machine recorded a 58 point offffensive average while allowing only 40 as a defensive average, thus earning the Eastites a con- tinuous high place on the state press polls for the season. tt.. Dick Sticky Brogren led the Hill- toppers' lire-quenching bucket brigade by swishing in 355 tallies during the season's span and was elected honor- ary captain by his teammates at the t close of the year. Although the Rabs were frustrated in their aspirations for downstate victories, Stick was named as a forward on the second team 1 F of the all-tournament squad by virtue of his fine eyes for the basket and cool- ness under fire in floor play. Aided by two first string veterans of last W year's high-flying quintet, forward Karl Erickson and guard Roger W. Johnson, who served as acting co-cap- tains for the greater part of the season, I u James A, Laude, Coach Richard Brogren, Captain Coach Laude pieced together one of the best fives in the history of East High. Karl's hard-driving floor play and Rogls excellent handling of even the toughest guarding assignments earned them both a berth on the all-conference teams of the Big Eight. Center LaVerne Gunder Clauson had a deadly hook shot and made a very fine showing in the pivot position, for which he also was awarded a place on the first string of the conference honor squad. Bill Weaver, a snappy and scrappy forward, will be back next year and will continue to display his talents as one of the best ball handlers in the state. Also back for next year's quintet will be reserve center Pete An- derson. Pete's sure-shooting and nne rebounding will add much to the reinforcement of the Lutfisk boys. The other reserve members of the Hilltoppers are not to be forgotten. Forward Chike Syracuse, a small but speedy player, was deadly on his two-handed long shots, one of which put the Morton game in the Rabs: win column. Bob Anderson at the other forward spot proved himself a fine player several times when first team members went out on fouls. Rabbit turned in a very fine performance at the Belvidere tourney when he replaced Karl Erickson, and kept the Rabs ahead. Dick Norberg at the guard spot saw a bit of action and convinced fans that he was a mighty good player. Gordy Stang, the other reserve guard, looked very good in the times he saw action and will be back next year. Bob Brogren and Lowell Hawkin- son helped out by filling in at any position in which they were needed and played some very commendable ball. Because of the large number of boys interested in playing, a Junior varsity was inaugurated this year. Composed of only junior members of the varsity, the JV won all but one of its eight games and turned up a lot of potential material for next year. Two of the most promising players were Gene Tarabilda and Frank Johnson who led the five in scoring. Also to be heard from next year will be Harold Samorian, George Sheatz, and Walt Johnson. Walt's four points in the last I6 seconds of a tilt with W'est High gave the Rabblers a one-point vic- tory in that contest. The high-flying Swedes played three pre-conference grooming contests at the beginning of the season.

In their first Big Eight tilt the Eastites knocked off LaSalle-Peru, 58-54, and then came home the next week and beat West High, 65-39, in a pre-Christ- mas tilt. During the Christmas holiday the Rockfordites steamed into Clinton, Iowa, for a crack at the holiday tournament trophy. Meeting downstate teams for the first time, the Laudemen roasted an Urbana High School five, 45-29, in the first round, holding the losers to only two points in the first quarter and one in the third. In the semi-final round, the Red and Blacks turned on their offensive power and riddled a Lincoln team, 76-36, and went into the championship game to again emerge vic- torious over their opponents, this time by defeating the Clinton quint, 52-39, to take the title.

In their tenth straight win the Rockford boys cremated the East Aurora Tomcats, 61-45, and the next night traveled to Morton of Cicero. The game with this powerful Chicago team extended the Rabs to the limit, for they were one point behind with one second to go, and Pete Anderson had one chance for a charity toss. Pete looped it in with a great deal of calmness and the Rabs went on to win, 51-48, in an overtime. By beat- ing Freeport in their next game the Rabs established a new win record of twelve straight before losing to a blue Monday Elgin team, a game in which the smooth clicking Rabs failed to work for once. This defeat jolted the Swedes, and they came back to bombard L-P in a return bout, 79-45g went over to West High and scalped the Warriors again by 22 points, blasted the Joliet Steelmen in a 58-59 blazeg and culti- vated the Moline Plowboys under a dirt field with a powerful 68-36 plowing. The Freeport Pretzels visited the East emporium again and went home with a 49-40 twisting, and in the last game of the regular season the Lutfrsk boys shot down the West Aurora Blackhawk five with a few well aimed baskets in a 53-45 win, to con- clude the season with a record of 19 wins and one loss.

The entrants were divided with two baskets, with East the favorite in the upper set and Belvidere as outstanding in the lower. In the first round the smorgasbord boys socked a 83-31 slaughter on a hapless Hononegah team and set a new scoring record for East High. The Rabs had an easy time subduing Harlem, 60-39, and gained the final, only to face a red-hot keyed-up Belvidere five that was really after the Laudemen's scalps. Startled East High partisans saw the home team take a 14-3 first quarter lead, but the Rabs came back to lead 25-23 at the half, and, except for a third quarter scare, the Rabs went on to win one of the most thrilling games of the year, 46-42. By virtue of this regional conquest, the Rabs turned their eyes to the sectional tourney at West High. In the first game they drew a tough assignment, a Freeport team that seemed determined to beat East at least once this year. A razzle-dazzle fourth quarter gave the game to East, 45-37, and they went into the final round to face a team that had a seasons win-loss record of 25 and zero.

Not when the sopho- more cagers offer such fine play and exciting games as this year's sophs have done. By winning 13 out of 21 contests these yearlings played a quite successful season. The season started with the sophs having a rather hard time getting over foot- ball tactics. Soon, however, they began to iron out these defects and flattened out LaSalle-Peru, West Rockford, Belvidere, and East Aurora. This four game winning streak was stopped cold by the Lena varsity and Freeport with Freeport frosh-soph team winning by just two points.

The Allenmen experienced one of the largest turnouts for the team at the beginning of the season and had many regulars from last year back again to form the nucleus for the fine squad. The talented tankmen, captained by backstroker Stu Regan, hnished the season with a dual meet record of four wins and two losses, and experienced one victory and one loss in three-way contests. Don Johnson swimming in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events brought home many winning rallies for the aquateers, while Paul Erickson and Bob Guin in the breaststroke and Pete Hedlin and Ronny Anderson, divers, did like- wise. Many members of the squad were juniors who turned in fine rec- ords and will be back next year. In the first meet the Allenatators ' came out on the short end of 48-27-15 three way score, but after the Christ- , mas holidays they swam in another tri-meet and won 35-29-28. They faced a highly-rated Danville team and beat M them 41-54. The sterling splashers continued their good start by sinking a powerful Peoria squad, 47-58, and ' then went on to defeat the Iowa state champions, Clinton, by a 38-57 score. . if The only loss suffered at this time was a 38-57 meet with West Rockford. ,as -:gm -,V-, ' ' 5 -15 w a.

Heading the lineup are three members of last year's first five, Ed Naretta, Pete Anderson, and Dean Lind, who formed the backbone of the team that finished in second place behind Glenbard in the state race. Twelve meets are on tap for the coming season, nine of which are dual meets and three are sectional or state contests. The only defeat in dual matches that the Rab1inkers have suffered since the school was built was a setback by Beloit last year. Peter Anderson and Dean Lind mainsta s on this h 3 . y year's squad, practice a few iron shots on the practice field behind school. The services of Roger Lindeman and Morris Nelson, the other two monogram winners form last year, will be missed for this era, but Coach Laude should not have too much trouble in finding two replacements from the 23 candidates who reported for practice at the beginning of the season. Besides the three returning lettermen there are 13 other veterans back from the '46 team, many of whom are good enough to break their way into the iirst five before the year is finished. All the sophomores who tried out will have a chance to gain experience by tackling the underclassmen of West Rockford, Freeport, and a few cther schools. The record of the Illinois State Championship races from 1941-1946 is as follows: 1941-West Rockford 1944-East Rockford 1942-East Rockford 1945-East Rockford 1943-East Rockford 1946-Glenbard The schedule for the Rabs includes a district, state, and conference meet as well as the other regularly scheduled events. In addition to their feats in the state tourneys, the Laudemen tee-toters have reigned as kings in the last three years of Big Eight conference competition.

By tying for the Big Eight championship, last year's team had a good season, win- ning eight matches while dropping four and tying one. The strong Elgin and Dixon netmen each handed the Rabs two defeats. In the District, East placed third behind Dixon and West Rockford. Gordie Stang contributed the majority of the points in copping runner-up in the singles division, which entitled him to competition in the state meet at Champaign. Stang was defeated in his first match downstate. The East netmen tied with Elgin for the conference championship later in the season, as Gordie Stang and Roger YW. Johnson carried away the doubles crown. Losing Captain Bill Dahlquist and Frank Kleschen, Coach Palmer's hopes revolve around the four returning lettermen, con- ference doubles champions Roger W. Johnson and Gordie Stang, dependable Armour johnson, and steady Donnel Tekawa. Other veterans of last year's competition who are returning include Jim Hogfeldt, Bruce Jacobson, Burton Wood, Bill Engberg, Kermit Ericsson, Chuck Olson, and jack Beck. The tennis squad begins practice in the latter part of March in the gym, working on fundamentals and conditioning. In a few weeks they commence out- side practice and the intrasquad ladder tourney to determine ratings. The squad undergoes vigorous drill and workout every night. Coach Palmer em- phasizes the value of sophomores' gaining competitive experience before their junior and senior years.

Bolstered by the return of many members of last year's squad, the Rab thinclads showed up well in their first two meets, both of which were with teams of much larger size which had also been in winter practice for several months. In their first contest the Eastites took a few men to the Oak Park relays early in March. Fighting in a field of 45 teams, the Rabs attained 25th place by placing Hawkinson in the broad jump. The relay squad also made a good showing for having been in practice only two weeks when they placed sixth. On the fifth of April the Polaskimen journeyed to Madison West, a Wisconsin powerhouse team, where they scored seven points, defeating West Rockford and several other area schools. The Polaskids returned their early season invitation by competing with Oak Park and West Rockford in a three-way meet on the Rabs own track but came our on the small end of a big score with Oak Park taking 99 points, West Rock- i ford 58, and East in last place with only 33 rallies. The Swedes' first victory came three days later when they defeated the Freeport flat-footed fleetwings in a dual meer. 58-55. Dick Pierce was the only Rab first-place winner in the races but Frank Calacurcio, Bob Aden, and Ivan Frang in the weight department and Lowell Hawkinson in the broadjump captured all their events to aid in bringing home an East victory. Seniors Bob Anderson, a three year veteran in the sprints, and Lowell Hawk- inson, who holds the East High broadjump record of 21 feet, four inches, could always be counted on to bring in either first or second place in their event. Herb Schulz, Cliff Reesman, Louie Stohr, and Jack Poeppelmeyer filled in wherever they were needed and always did a commendable job. Dick Pierce, a junior im- port from Texas, ran both the half mile and 440 where he made excellent show- ings. Harold Swenson, another junior, took on his share of the East High bur- dens in the grueling mile run and proved himself to be a consisently good runner. Ronald Zimmerman, in the hurdles. Bob Btogren in the high jump and pole vault, and Ivan Frang in the weights also looked good. Sophomores Frank Calacurcio, Bob Aden, and Bob Bogdonas hung up splendid records in both their varsity and sophomore tilts. Calacurcio ran dashes and starred in the shot and discus field. Aden looked very good in the shot, discus, and pole vault. and Bogdonas ran the 440. Also making a bid for starring honors was Melvin Pearson in the low hurdles.

CZZLLZL All sportsmen who are awarded the R monogram for service in any field of athletics are eligible to become members of the East High honorary letter society, the R Club. The club consistsof nearly one hundred boys under the direction of Coach Steve Polaski, who holds the job of club adviser, and it presents several social functions during the year. Perhaps the best known and most enjoyable of these functions is the presentation of the annual R Club Dance. Red, white, and black decorations prevail at the affair which is held in the latter part of March. The highlighting feature of the dance, was the grand march led by the club officers, with all couples participating. Other events during the year include the ushering at all home basketball games and an annual picnic each spring. Bill Dahlquist and Margaret Darby, Art Schulz, and Pat .Plukas, Herbie Schulz and Jean Juhlin, and Karl Erickscn and Merry Lew Lewis led the grand march at the annual lettermen's ball. . The purpose of the group is to set an example for the entire school, since the members are usually leaders, not only in athletics but in other school activities. Along with this the organ- ization teaches all its members the code of good sportsmanship and helps to bring the individual sport groups together. The club emphasizes the requirements for the champion athlete: Courage, Honesty, Attitude, Manliness, Patience, Interest, Obedience, Nerve, and Sacrifice. Serving as an example for the many fields of sports that the members are interested in, no better candidates could be chosen than the club officers. Herbie Schulz, president of the club, is not only an outstanding football half- back but an important member of the track squad. Second in command, vice-president Karl Erickson, is a star basketball forward, a member of the golf team, and also likes track and swim- ming. Football and basketball are the chief in- terests of treasurer Bill Dahlquist, while sec- retary Frank Sincox lists the pigskin sport and track as his major athletic interests. Sergeant- at-arms Ivan Frang's favorites include football, basketball, and track. Top Row: J. Peterson, Sjostrom, C. Olson, Greenland, Kelley, Mott, Zielinski, J. Johnson, Lofgren, Kall, Verace, R.

Open to all boys who are interested in swimming, the group is advised by Swimming Coach Bob Allen, and it too plays an important part in the extra-curricular life of the school. Meetings of the club are conducted each week of the school year. During this time, the group's water presentation, the annual Dolphin show, is planned. The members combine with the Dorado Club, the girls, swimming club, to present a fas- cinating display of swimming combined with abit of humor. Besides the entertainment aspects of the show, the members nominate fifteen senior girls each year from which the Dolphin Queen and her two attendants are chosen. Reigning as the queen for this yearls show was Virginia Lausen, while Shirley Oberg' and Anne Rourke served as her attendants. Named Enchanted Waters, this year's show featured two water ballets pre- sented by the Dorado Club members, the comedy diving act of Roger A. Johnson, Bob Bogdonas, and Bob Aden. and Conny Sjostrom's impersona- tions of Al -Tolson. Tumbling displays by the East High wrestlers and a humorous rendition of the Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter added to the in- terest of the show. A special guest. Mr. Adolph Kiefer, world's champion backstroke swimmer, also displayed his talents at the second show, much to the pleasure of the assembled group. One of his favorite stunts was to dive into the pool and stand on his hands on the bottom with his feet sticking out. Cliff Reesman served as master ceremonies for the show. Members are often on the swimming squad. Thev spend most of their spare time during the winter in the pool. Swimming is one of the best all-around sports from the health viewpoint and these club fish can find nothing better to do than to swim for recreation.

EHR Q With Connie Calacurcio as presi- dent and Miss Mabel Brill as their able adviser, leading the way, the GAA activities enjoyed a successful year. Full of vim, vigor, vitality and with a bottle of vitamin pills in their pockets, representatives from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes came out to win and lose in a fun-provoking series of four team sports. GAA, the nationally known Girls' Athletic Association, is rated one of the top clubs of East High. It stresses physical, mental and social development. In the strenuous ac- tivities it strives for healthy, strong . bodies, and interest in exercise and motor coordination. Socially it provides an activity in which girls from all three classes can get to- gether in all seasons, for the en- joyment of playing hockey, volley- ball, basketball, and softball. In the mental aspect it promotes good sportsmanship, leadership qualities, and cooperation. Since the club got its start back in 1933 at Rockford Central High School, it has enlarged, advanced, and improved tre- mendously. lt has the largest enrollment of any club at East High, some of the highest standards, and some of the most active girls as members. Each week, either Tuesday, Wed- nesday, or Thursday, various teams meet to play off their games in a tournament with the hnest sense of responsi- bility and sportsmanship ever known or shown. Martha Mae Marilyn Anna Connie Andreen Bengtson Brobeck Bruno Calacurcio Marolyn Gwen Beverly Mabelann Virginia Carlson Cekaucus Christenson Clark Condon ' , t ,:-.. i . , Evangeline Lillian Charlotte Darlene Lois Johnson Johnson Julin Kliver Larsfz n seems to be one of those games which scares away the fairer sex. The long sticks may look forbidding and the shin guards unglamorous, but honestly, girls, there are very few casualties. Dut- ing the past years no hockey tourna- ments have been held, but this year an attempt to encourage East High girls in this sport has been made. Because hockey is offered in many college courses, a general knowledge of the sport is of great value. Hockey is a simple, straight forward game, demanding only those things which any normal girl is proud to possess, namely, some speed of foot, l quickness of eye and brain, genial . spirit, a liking for companionship, and perhaps-that rather elusive thing- ball sense. Such things cannot be bought-they are innate-but given room to develop, they will. No one game of hockey. needs to approach the game of hockey fearing that it is a hard' taskmaster, that it will take years to learn to play, and that it is costly in money and time. Hockey offers the best kind of competition. It has behind it an exceptionally fine tradition of good sportsmanship. It is open, fast, and free from roughness and bodily contact. It puts a premium on skill and finesse rather than on force. It de- mands intelligence and initiative on the part of the individual. Josephine Russo, Mableann Clark, and Anna Bruno are all set to compete in a vigorous The possibilities for development are unlimited, and the better the play, the more fun it is. It involves a great many players, and requires teamwork. It keeps the players interested, alert, and in motion all the time. Those who have had long experi- ence in it know that there is always something more to learn. They love it because it is a joy to play, because it cannot be- come dull or stereotyped, and because through it they have experienced the finest kind of competitive sport. Betty Shirley Lois Ann Donna Marian Garnrath Griffith Gustafson Holmes Hutchinson 5 Josephine Russo Virginia Lauson Mary Lou Lofgren California vs. Tennessee in the exciting championship game of the Volleyball tournament. Bessie U seems to be one of those few sports in which girls have Malmgfefl achieved honors without the male sex to contrast their playing. A game played almost exclusively by girls, it is one of the momentous tourna- ments in the GAA schedule. The first of the two tournaments played each year is between teams formed of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Eleven members comprised each team determined by drawing slips. Names for the teams were decided among the team members. Tennessee team members were recognized as champs with five victories to their credit. They ,-were captained by Virginia Lausen. Captors of second place and defeated Lorraine in only one game were Iowa, Notre Dame, and l'California whose captains were Olson Norma Miller, Connie Calacurcio, and Lois Larson respectively. Honors were also secured by Northwestern,'y with Beverly Christensen as captain, Purdue, captained by Evangeline Johnson, Alabama by Mary Lofgren, and Loyola by Mableann Clark who were rated in third place. Carefully observing the girls in their participation, Miss Brill and Mrs. Corder se- lected .those who cooperated well and with the most ability to represent their classes in inter-class tournament. Scattered in a Checkerboard arrangement across the gym floor with a net dividing Marilyn the two teams, the girls fully realized, as they played, the attentiveness, faithfulness, and Oqulsf perfect teamwork which is indispensable in the partipation of volleyball.

Elsie Joanne Lorraine Pat Swenson Swenson Turner Wells After a double personal foul Shirley Sutherland and Lorraine Turner continue the game with a jump ball. is a game involving the fundamentals of running, catch- ing, passing, jumping, and shooting. All of these skills are cultivated during the basketball tournament in the spring. At the beginning of the season 14 girls were chosen by their classmates to act as captains of the 14 teams. California was headed by Lorraine Turner and Virginia, by Martha Andreen. These hard-fighting teams tied for first place in the tournament. Other teams and their captains were Colorado, Ann Bruno, Georgia, Beverly McNamara, Illinois, Marilyn Widergren, Indiana, Arlene Carlson, Iowa, Betty Gamrath, Kentucky, Josephine Russo, Michigan, Marge Engberg, Minnesota, Ruth Swenson, Ohio, Joanne Swenson, Texas, Aline Erickson, Wisconsin, Gwen Cekaucus. During the basketball season the girls come out and play off their tournament games. If all six players of a team aren't present that team must forfeit and the game is won by the opposing team. While the games are being played, the girls are being judged as to how many attempts are made, how they are made, the form of the player, and the type of game she plays. At the end of the season the records are tabulated and the girls with the best ratings are eligible for the class teams. Mary Lou Best Aline Erickson Ann Gishwiller Nyema Lindblade Girls' basketball differs in several respects from the boys' game. The fems', play with six players, three guards and three forwards, while the boys have five players. Although the boys have access to the entire floor, th girls are limited to only half the court and violations are called whenever a girl steps into the wrong territory. Basketball plays a very important part in the calendar of GAA Sports and is greeted enthusiastically with good hard exercise and large turnout for the games.

Each team plays different teams every week and the winning team is determined by the number of games it has won in comparison with the other teams. In order to improve her playing a girl should practice such techniques as fielding flies or grounders, jumping into a throw- ing position as she helds the ball, learning to place her hits, bunting, and then of course to have a thorough knowledge of the rules. Etiquette is important in softball as in every- thing else. It is important that you win at any sport in which you participate, for you rob your opponent and teammates of a great deal of rightful pleasure if you don't. On the other hand don't become so obsessed with the desire to win that everything else seems of secondary importance. The truly good sport Wants to win only when her ability is actually superior to that of her op- ponents. There are written rules to cover the playing of the game and there are um- pires to see that they are obeyed but many points of softball etiquette do not appear in written rules. A spirit of courtesy toward your opponents, the officials, and your teammates is essential. In throwing a ball such things as speed and accuracy must be considered and also different styles of throwing as the over- hand throw, the underhand throw, and the sidearm throw. In batting such skills as learning to select a bat, position at the plate, the swing, and the follow through, are lmpoftzlllf. Aline Erickson, treasurer, Barbara Forsell, secretary, Dorothy Voss,vice-president, and Martha Andreen, president, have just come up for air after a refreshing swim. Club, is the sister of the Dolphin Club. Under the supervision of Miss Mabel Brill, the girls splash every Monday after school. Many spend their time earning Junior and Senior Life- saving badges, while still others Work to acquire their badges as Beginners, Intermediates, Swimmers, and Advanced Swimmers! Still others are swimming lengths in order to become members of the Mile Club. Every girls who has done at least 72 lengths, Cthe distance of a mileb, will re- ceive a small M at the end of the season. And as the club's pin of the diver sug- gests, some of the water enthusiasts practice diving. Due to the increase of membership this year, each week two assistants aid Miss Brill with her life- guarding duties. An annual attraction, is the swim- ming meet, which features races as well as form swimming. Ballet swimming is the most difficult of all types of swimming and conse- quently requires the participants to practice on both Monday and Wednes- day evenings. This year sixteen girls were chosen to swim in three different types of ballets, including a drill to drum rhythm, a modern ballet to Jealousy and a semi-classical ballet to Deep Purple. Instead of using the music as background, as was done in previous ballets, the strokes were Htted to the mood and rhythms of the music. This and other changes were brought about as a result of using the new A. A. U. synchro- nized swimming ballet rule book. Top Row: Miss Brill, S.

' ' al .'f490f1,fA One of East's Robin Hoods aims into the horizon at sundown. Club, organized at the beginning of this school year, is a club in which girls compete against each other in sports which do not require teams. Member- ship in this club is open to any girl who is interested in participating in any of the activities of the club which include: table tennis, bowling, track, tennis, archery, badminton, golf, and basket-shooting. This club is entirely independent of GAA, but credits earned in Individual Sports Club can be transferred toward a GAA award. In the fall Robin Hood got a scare when the archers tried their luck at hitting the bulls-eye and the Racketeers cut pretty capers on the tennis court. During the winter season when Jack Frost keeps the girls indoors they keep in shape participating in basketshooting, badminton, and table tennis, while in the spring the main activities of the club are golf, track, archery, and tennis. An all-year-round sport is bowling. Each Friday a group of the girl strikers assemble to bowl 'em over.

Gus Amerock works at Amerock and is liked by all who know him. Old Gus Amerock Sez: It's a mighty funny thing to me how every generation Is bound to go to pot, they say, in all parts of the nation. Yet it seems that them same folks-doomed fifty years ago- Are all growed up and parents now with kids like you in tow. They had ideas when they were young that shore did show and dare 'em And boys and girls, they tore around in buggies-harem-scarem. But don't you know when they growed up and sorta settled down That those same kids who went to seed now run this grand old town. Yessiree, I think you see just what I'm drivin' at, That when the smoke all clears away you're darned good kids at that. You'll he the ones who vote and pray and clear away the dust, And you're the ones who'll have the jobs of industry and trust. The years have gone and they have seemed to me to he too few, But I ain't worried, no siree, for we can count on you.

F L O R I S T S 109 South Longwood Street Main 911-912 AR605 the agic Lure of the Print Shop Sometimes it is the nature of a craft to create an unbreakable tie between itself and the worker in that field, a heart attachment equal to lifetime devotion. One familiar example is PRINTING. Once editor, compositor, or pressman catches the spirit of the shop, the spell is seldom broken. Like the odor of a camp fire, or a whiff of salt air, the beloved tang of printer's ink, symbolical of a great profession, gets into your heart and soul. Law books, text books, encyclopedias, maga- zines, and newspapers, all smack of it. It is an invisible link that binds all intelligence together. It is the stimulus for creation in business or romance. This craftsmanship, this devotion to service and alertness to business needs, has nourished and developed an enormous industrial vitality, and whichever way the course of the future runs, the printer will always find himself able to adapt his helpfulness to new oppor- tunity.

ROCKFORD- PLANERS ---Shapers Slotters ' Shaper-Planers for better living Today and Tomorrow AR605' e ROCKFORD machines . . . such as the Double- Housing Hy-Draulic Planer or the Rockford Hy-Iector Molding Machine . . . have all one ultimate purpose-to provide better living for everyone. The high American standard of living, which you have today, is basically the result of two things: CID old fashioned free enterprise and QD new fashioned methods in mass produc- tion. Don't let anyone ever sway you into be- lieving anything else. In the last fifty years America has seen near- miracles in the volume production of manu- factured products for Americans to buy and use. These miracles were the result of machines, backed up by men who had faith in the oppor- tunities America offered. Take away the ma- chines or the faith . . . either or both . . . and the miracles are apt to vanish. t Undoubtedly for your generation old man des- tiny will contrive some important dates where vital decisions must be made. Remember then, the simple formula above, wherever it may apply. ROCKFORD MACHINE TOOL CO.

These Critical Days the Watchword Is MAINTENANCE What we have is temporarily irreplaceable. Therefore we should use our best efforts to keep our cars operating efficiently. Cut-rate, poorly en- gineered parts are more expensive than the best, even though the first rost is less. All our replacement parts are nationally recog- nized as equal to or better than the original. They are warranted by the manufacturers and by us. Use them in confidence.
