DEDICATIO
We dedicate this book to Homer Musgrove as an expression of our
deep appreciation for his fine work as physical education instructor,
his pust activities as coach in nearly every sport at S.H.S. and as a
friend to us all.
Mr. Musgrove was born in Mattson, Illinois, on December 15,
1907. He received his four years of high school education in Cleve-
land High School, St. Louis, Missouri. During this time he won
nine letters: three in each baseball, basketball and football. He was
an All Star selection in each of the above spo1'ts for two years in
succession. In 1924 the St. Louis sports writers chose him as the
outstanding quarterback and player of the city. Besides these
sports accomplishments he represented the eastern half of Missouri
in the National Oratorical Contest sponsored by the Globe Democrat,
a strong St. Louis newspaper.
He was awarded an athletic scholarship to the University of
Iowa and in his freshman year there won three numerals. In his
sophomore year Mr. Musgrove was varsity third baseman, and he
helped Iowa to win the Big Ten championship in 1926. After com-
pleting his work on a Bachelor of Science degree, he returned to
the University for post-graduate courses and now holds a Master of Homer Musgrove
Arts degree.
Before coming to Sterling, Mr. Musgrove spent seven years at Elmore, Minnesota. In addition to
being principal of the high school there, he taught physical education classes and coached all athletics.
Sterling Township High School was for-
tunate enough to obtain Mr. Musgrove's
services in 1942. Since then he has taught
health and boys' physical education, has
guided all intramural sports, and has coach-
ed football, baseball, basketball, track, tum-
bling, boxing, and wrestling.
As well as being an outstanding teacher,
he has been recognized by the American
Red Cross for teachings and achievements in
swimming, lifesaving, and first aid. He has
also had national and state recognition for his
foot improvement program, which has this
year been inaugurated into the girls' gym
classes, and he has contributed many articles
to national health magazines upon this sub-
ject. In conjunction with all this, he is now
supervisor of off-the-campus student teachers
from the Physical Education Department of
the Northern Illinois State Teachers College.
Not willing to rest upon these accomplish-
ments, Mr. Musgrove is superintendent of the
Broadway Methodist Sunday School and is
also the secretary and a member of the
Board of Directors of the Sterling Gyro Club.
The school sentiment was very nicely
phrased by a senior girl who, when asked
what she knew about Mr. Musgrove, replied,
"Nothing, except I like him." Yes, we all
like Mr. Musgrove very much and hope that
he will be with us and be helping us for many
years to come.

The men whose pictures appear above represent both the executive
and the legislative functions of the governing body of the school. The
administrative phase is vested in the principal and his assistants, but
the policies of the school are determined by the Board of Education.
All through the school year it deliberately determines the actions and
the functions of every department involved in school life. Particularly
have these men been busy with the details of school building construc-
tion of the new 331,850,000 project which is now in progress.

SE IOR CLASS HISTQRY
During their freshmen year a party was given for the purpose of getting acquainted. "The Barnyard
Frolic' was well attended and very much enjoyed.
The main event of the sophomore year was "Sweetheart Swing". This was the annual sophomore
dance. The theme of the dance was appropriate for Valentine's Day.
As Juniors the class was kept busy with the prom. "Top Hat" was a success. The theme followed
was suggestive of Broadway. As a leap year event the class sponsored the "Sadie Hawkins Dance", which
was a girl-pay-all affair.
"January Thaw," the senior class play, was successfully presented to the student body and the public
on December 8 and 9. The annual senior dance, given April 22, was outstanding for its excellent or-
chestra and good floorshow. Several other dances were given for the purpose of raising funds fox the
Annual.
The class of '49 was counseled by Miss Burritt and Miss Welle.

Then the work began. First the seniors were photographed in November. In December
the large job of taking group pictures was completed in two days. Then write-ups had
to be written, and the photographs sent to the engravers.
Slowly the engravings began to come from the engravers. The arrival of these "cuts"
brought on a last minute rush to finish the write-ups and to get sections of the book to the
printer. But no sooner had a section reached the printer than one was returned for
proofreading.
With the return of the corrected proofs, the annual was ready for printing. But the
book was not finished, it still had to be bound. This done the Annual was presented to
the school.
The staff of the 1949 "BLUE AND GOLD" would like to take this opportunity to
thank the students, faculty, and friends who helped make this book possible.

mans of today." Club members can be identified by pins inscribed
with the official name.

welcome the first year Latin students with a party. This year the
reception was held on November 29. JoAnne Kunde was the party
chairman.
This year's paramount event was the annual Roman Banquet held
April 29. lmpersonating slaves, the freshmen dressed in white tunics

The S.H.S. debate team, coached by Miss Larson. began work early
last fall on the national high school debate question, Resolved: That
the United Nations Now be Revised Into a Federal World Government.
After a good healthful combination of cokes, coaching, and criticism
the squad was ready to venture forth against teams from other schools.
The first series of practice tournaments were held at Rockford, East
and West High Schools. The team, including Harry Blaisdell, Joan
Elmendorf, and Jack Reiske on the affirmative and Marilyn Miller and
Larry Norton debating the negative, came out of its first practice debate
with a fourth place among eleven schools.
Armed with 'knew material" the debaters entered the annual tourn-
ament at Augustana College, in which twenty-five teams from all over
Illinois and Iowa competed. The tournament of six rounds was held on
February 4 and 5 on the college campus. In spite of being up against
the toughest teams in the tournament, Sterling came out better than
any other team in the N.C.I.C. Miss Larson, as well as the debaters,
was kept busy since she judged in three of the six rounds.
The next item on the debaters' agenda was the N.C.I.C. tournament
debate held at Rochelle Township High School on Saturday, February
19. Of the schools competing. Sterling placed third.
On March 12 the debate team traveled to East Rockford for the
sectional meet. As the debate year came to an end. the debaters were
confident that, with the experience gained this year. the decisions
would fall to Sterling next year.

There were many contests on the G.A.A. agenda for this year. First
there was the archery tournament held early in the fall. Next came the
state bowling tournament in which ten local girls participated on Febru-
ary 16 and the telegraphic basketball-shooting tourney which was
played on March ll. Also included in the year's sports events was an
all star basketball game between the club's two "first-string" teams.
The teams had previously been chosen for
' their ability and agility on the basketball
, court.
lf' The G.A.A. was responsible for one of
, - ',' the most unusual affairs of the year, "Bob-
,' ' bysox Bounce". This dance. held on April
Fools' Day, was a combination WPA and
sock dance. The girls had to pay all ex-
,Pict

SE ICR PLAY

The three-act comedy "January Thaw" was presented by members
of the class of '49 on December 8 and 9.
This comedy concerns the lives of two fictitious families, 'the Rock-
woods and the Gages. The Gage family had recently purchased, re-
decorated, and moved into an old farmhouse which formerly had been
inhabited by an aged couple, the Rockwoods. The deed to the farm
contained an unusual clause, which Mrs. Gage optimistically ignored,
granting the Rockwoods the right to dwell in the house as long as they
lived.
The Gages were quite comfortable in their newly acquired home
until the Rockwoods, the same family mentioned in the deed, returned
to their homeplace to live. Since both families had rights to the house
and since both were quite reluctant to
leave, neither family would vacate the
house.
The ensuing action with its complica-
tions, hostilities, and misunderstandings
made this play a fast moving, colorful and
hilarious comedy.
Miss Larson was the director of this
highly successful and entertaining play. .
The cast was composed of the following 0
seniors: Susie Hoffman, Jerry Robbins, k.
Betty Marken, Mimi Sterenberg, Nonis
Snow, Polly Jewell, Irvin Tretteen, Bob

The Dramatic Club is an organization of those students who are
interested in developing their acting abilities. The club was organized
in 1928, and it is one of the few S.H.S. associations to date back that far.
Tryouts were held in the fall for all students who desired to become
club members: initiation of all new members, however, was not done
until spring.
The first production to be staged by the group was a contest play
which was given at Dixon in the North Central Dramatic Festival on
December 11. The other productions of the year were the three one-
act plays which were presented on March 25 in the high school gym-
nasium. These performances were: "Now Is the Time", "Where but
in America", and "One of Us".

BAND
This year the S.H.S. Band, directed by Cloyd Myers, has played and
performed at football games and in concerts and parades.
The band made many outstanding formations at the football games.
Among these were "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", presented in the
dark with lights twinkling from the band members' hats, and "Shine
on Harvest Moon", also presented in the dark with a golden moon ris-
ing in the background. All visiting football teams were recognized by
the formation of their school symbols.
The "Pep Band", composed of several members of the regular band,
provided pre-game and halftime entertainment at several basketball
games.
On Saturday, March 26, the band was represented in the North-
western Illinois District Music Contest held at Freeport by the following
students: Warren Thummel, piccolog Ruth Kimball, marimbag Tom
Griffith, tromboneg and Marilyn Miller, clarinet. All these students re-
ceived first division ratings in their respective classes, and they were
entered in the state contests at Canton on April 29 and 30.

Mr. Tonkin, an outstanding director as well as soloist, has produced
again this year one of the finest mixed choirs in Illinois.
This year the choir has presented eleven major concerts. The sea-
son began with a program in Oregon sponsored by the Oregon Women's
Club. Included in this program was Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite"
as arranged by Harry Simeone. This same program also was presented
at the Fourth Street Methodist Church. Two concerts were given during
the holiday season with "Laud Him" by Pepping the outstanding num-
ber. The first was the annual Christmas concert at St. John's Church,
and the second was a repeat performance for the S.H.S. student body.
The next group of numbers studied were patriotic, "Battle Hymn
of the Republic" was one of the outstanding numbers. Mr. Cloyd Myers
was soloist in Robinson's "Ballad for Americans", which was exception-
ally outstanding and which was used in the spring program. Patriotic
concerts were given at the Whiteside County Teachers' Institute, at
S.H.S. for the student body, at Wallace School, and at Central School.
The last concerts of the 48-49 season were made up of lighter and
more popular numbers such as "Dry Bones", a negro spiritual, and "Ex-
altation" by Christiansen. Filling the serious side, however, were such
strong numbers as "Tenebrae Factae Sunt", sung in Latin, and "The
Holy City" by Adams as arranged for Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians.
On May 1 the choir traveled to Francis Shimer College: on May 4,
to Eureka College, and on May 24 the choir presented its spring concert.
Thus ended a successful and funful year.

On June 11 Sterling opened its baseball season when the Golden Warriors defeated
the Dixon Dukes and chalked up the first conference win of the year-ll to l.
Roger Puterbaugh had a field day when he pitched a very good game, hit a homer,
and scored three runs. On June 16, Sterling was beaten by Ottawa, 7 to 4.
In the June 19 game with DeKalb, the Barbs proved to be too much for Sterling.
A big fifth inning won for the Barbs. Roger lfuterbaugh and Max Baumgardner saw
pitching duty in this game. On June 23 Haumgardnei' went all the way as Sterling
nosed out Rock Falls, 5 to 4, in a conference game.
In a free scoring game on June 30, Hall Township poured runs across the plate
to beat the Warriors 9 to 7. R. Puterbaugh was on the mound. At their next game on
July 2, Sterling used almost every available man for pitching duty and heat Prince-
ton in a wild scoring game.
Meeting Dixon for the second time in the season on July 7, the VVarriors scored
five runs in the first inning to get the jump on the Dukes. Sterling held this lead
while their opponents piled up four runs. Ray Kenaga started the pitching for S.H.S.
but was relieved by R. Puterbaugh. On July 10 the Warriors got revenge on the
Ottawa team by defeating them 16 to 5. Chuck Deets made four runs from five times
at bat for Sterling honors. The Warriors next game was with DeKalb, and the Barbs
again defeated the local team.
Sterling and Rock Falls played to a tie on July 17, and the game was called on
account of da1'kness. Then on July 24, the Warriors defeated a very good Hall 'team
to win an important conference game. R. Puterbaugh did the pitching in this victory.
Bud Carl did the pitching and R. Puterbaugh hit a homer on July 28 to clinch the
last game in the season, in which the Warriors thumped Princeton-11 to 2. Kcnaga
and Baumgardner each made three l'LlTlS in this final contest of the year.

By their homecoming triumph over Morrison, the Golden Warriors, coached by
Bernie Mitchell, completed a very successful season. Opening the season the War-
riors came through with a 12-7 victory over a strong Belvidere team. The following
week Community was whitewashed 31-0 with every Sterling player seeing action.
The intercity title was clinched the next week with a hard fought victory over Rock
Falls, 27-20 in a game of thrills.
With the Sterling line playing its best game of the season, the Warriors met their
first defeat at the hands of the Ottawa Pirates. Stunned by the defeat, the Warriors
bounced back with a resounding 26-0 victory over Dixon. At Mendota the following
week, the Warriors smothered a weak Trojan team, 29 to 0. The reserves played
much of the game and did a very good job.
In a game with a highly regarded DeKalb team, Sterling defeated the Barbs 32-12
in a hide-and-seek game in the fog. With the conference at stake, Hall township
invaded Sterling, bringing with them hund1'eds of fans. Sickness on the Warriors'
team caused them to suffer a few weak spots, and in the hardest fought battle of
the year, the Warriors went down 6-0. Many times Sterling just missed the goal
line--the fighting Hall line stopped them each time.
The season's last game was with Morrison, and the final score was 42-6. The
whole team played in this game and realized that they had taken part in a very suc-
cessful season. a season for which they deserve much credit. They responded well
to their coaching and learned their tackling and blocking exceptionally well. This
IEP-18-49 team proved to be one of the strongest teams in S.H.S. history.

Coach Homer Musgrove's fresh-soph team won three games and lost three this
season. In conference play the "Papooses" won three and lost only one to tie for first
place in the fresh-soph conference. Coach Musgrove deserves much credit for the
tcam's fairly successful season.
In their first game, which was with Rock Falls, the "Papooses" went backward down
the field because of abundant penalties. The team was within the Rock Falls ten-
yard line five times in the second half but failed to score. The game, which was non-
confercnce, ended with the following score: Rock Falls 6, Sterling 0.
At Ottawa in the second game for the Sterling team, the opponents scored on
the second play of the game. Although an 80-yard run by Sterling at the opening of
the second half tied up the game, Gttawa was able to score twice in the closing min-
utes of the game to win, 20 to 6. This was a conference game.
The Sterling team won its first game of the season at Dixon, 7 to 6. This was
1 the "Papooscs"' first conference
Ha' win as well. Later, at Mendota thc
?" Sterling team was beaten 13 to 7
in a non-conference game. The
game was tied early in the third
A quarter, but Mendota was able to
score again and win.
At home, the team won its sec-
ond conference game by defeating
.. DeKalb. Since both teams had a
Q tough ground defense, the scor-
' ing was done by passing. Sterling
1 then defeated Hall Township with

Coached by IC. E. Small, the Sterling High cross country team had a successful
season. 'The squad piled up quite a collection of ribbons and medals.
In their first meet, held at Geneseo, Sterling placed second in Class A. This was
the annual invitational event. Paris won with a score of 23 points to the Warriors'
77. Duis was the first man of Sterling to cross the finish line of about a two-mile
course.
Next, in a dual meet with Princeton, Sterling took the first five places. This
made the score 15 to 40 in the Warriors' favor. Duis clocked the winning time, fol-
lowed in order by Stefanich, Watson, Bowman, and Miller.
Sterling then added Erie to its list of "the conquered" by defeating them 26-29 on
the Cardinals' course. Bowman ran one of his best races of the year placing third,
behind an Erie boy and Duis. In the Frosh-Soph run, Sterling was beaten I6-20.
Gierhart, a freshman, led the field in good time.
At Mendota, in a dual meet, Sterling added another victory. The score was IG-47.
Duis, Stefanich, Watson, and Bowman crossed
the tape with only nine seconds between them.
Winning the N.C.I.C. brought the Warriors
their fourth win of the year. Being defending -'
champs made the team work harder to hold the
title. Duis won the event and Watson, Stefan-
ich, Bowman, and Miller placed third, fourth,
twelfth, and thirteenth, respectively, making S
the winning score of 33.
Sterling again proved too much for Erie,
winning 27-28. This made victory number five.
In the big race of the year, the dist1'ict,
Sterling placed third with a score of 66 points.
By placing third and fourth. respectively, Duis X K

Coach Gene Hall's varsity basketball squad of 48-42? will long be remembered as
one of Sterling High's best. During the season, the Warriors racked up 24 wins
against two defeats. In doing so, the intra-city title and the regional tournament
crown came into their possession.
In the opening game, Sterling tu1'ned back the determined East Moline team.
Freeport then pushed the Golden Warriors to the limit as Sterling won 35-33 in a
real thriller.
A last second basket by Ohda and a murderous overtime period sent the highly
regarded Tilden Tech quintet back to Chicago. This game proved that the Warriors
had the necessary spark to go places.
The Blue and Gold cagers defeated Morrison by two points in a tense ball game.
Then they stretched their winning column to 10 games by beating Dixon, Beloit,
Community, Rock Falls, Dixon, and Princeton.
By finally getting down to business in the second half, Sterling was able to prop-
erly dispose of Galesburg's Silver Streaks by a score of 55-329.
Rochelle fell before the Warrior's onslaught and so did West Rockford in an over-
time period, 55-52.
Genesee, Community, Hall Twp., Rock Falls, and Ottawa were no match for
Sterling, as game number 18 was stored away.
East Rockford and their possession brand of basketball almost stopped the Golden
Warriors. For 8 minutes the Rabs stalled and made the final score 23-22 in Sterling's
favor.
The DeKalb Barbs next gave the Warriors their only regular season defeat. It
was in the form of a 45-54 upset. Bouncing back hard, Sterling defeated Wells of
Chicago and Mendota which gave them a tally of 21 wins against only one loss.
In tournament play the Golden Warriors met and defeated Rock Falls, Amboy,
and Dixon to capture the regional crown. In the sectional, however, West Rockford
proved too much, and Sterling was forced to taste loss for the second time during
the year.
Coach Hall did a truly remarkable job moulding the team. livery member of the
squad deserves a lot of credit.

The Warrior track squad put Sterling on the map with their outstanding per-
formance in the '48 season.
The Warriors got a good start by placing a close second at the Geneseo Day Rc-
lays. They broke two records and took home a good portion of the awards. ln their
second meet, Sterling won a triangular meet with Savanna and Morrison. Continuing
their winning streak, they nosed out Peoria Woodruff to win the Kewanee Relays.
Then, in a breath taking affair on our own track, Sterling took Freeport to win their
dual meet. Dietz secured sweet revenge on McClannathan by winning the hundred-
yard dash a full stride ahead.
On May 1 Oak Park, last year's state champions, had their heels nipped by the
Warriors. Sterling received a close second with East Moline trailing. Then Sterling
and Rock Island tied with 86 points in a triangular meet with Geneseo. Rock Island,
however, succeeded in defeating Sterling in the district meet by a score of 40 to 35L.
Seven of Sterling's team qualified to compete in the state meet.
S.H.S. won the intra-city title by 1205, Rock Falls had a score of 58L, and Com-
munity, 9. Five previous records were broken at this event.
The highlight of the season was the state meet at Champaign. Sterling, considered
a darkhorse, led until the last event. The Warriors were then beaten by LaGrange.
15 to 135. Hussung, P'rophet, Bowman, and Dietz composed the Warrior relay team,
but they found the competition too fast. Dietz ran his heart out and won the 200--
yard low hurdles. He also took a close second in the 100-yard dash. Dick Thielen
spouted honor by tying for first place in the pole vault at 12 feet nine inches. Ray
Kenaga also did a fine job in the pole vault but failed to fly high enough into the
stratosphere.
Sterling won 8 of the 13 first places in a dual meet with Dixon. Dietz tied the
100-yard dash record of 10.2 seconds.
The track team ended a successful season by winning top honors in thc confer-
ence. Dietz won the 100-yard dash and broke the record with the remarkable time of
9.9 second. Jim Kaehler performed beautifully to win the high jump award. Twar-
dock hurled the platter farther than any one else to win the discus event. Thielen

ville by an easy margin. Next they overwhelmed f
Prophetstown and the S.H.S. junior varsity in a
triangrular meet.
The Frosh-Sophs received top honors in the
twin city triangular by a score over a hundred.
In the Dixon dual meet Ray Kenaga broke the
record in the pole vault by vaulting 12 feet.

This year for the first time in the history of S.H.S.. wrestling was recognized as
a major spo1't. The wrestling team of 1948-49 was under the capable instruction of'
Coach Musgrove. The team made a very good showing and gained much experience
while winning four out of six meets in team competition.
In the first meet an inexperienced Warrior team lost to C"linton's "B" team, 35
to 28, but on January 18 Sterling sco1'ed sweet revenge on Clinton by a score of
337 to 19. Again in "B" team competition, Sterling won over Rock Island by a big
margin-34 to 9.
For the first time of the year the Sterling matmen entered team competition with
East Rockf'ord's and Beloit's varsity teams in a triangular meet. Beloit scored 54
points, East Rockford, 49, and Sterling, 26. Two Sterling boys won their divisionsg
"Dynamite" Burger won in the H5-pound class.
and Warren Sonneman won in the 155-pound class.
On February 8 the Sterling team again de-
--' feated Clinton's "B" team. The score was 233 to
13, and this gave Sterling two wins over Flinton

,gov Xiao if I to one defeat. In a return match with Rock Is,
qt land's "B" team on February. Sterling barely
nosed out the Islanders-24 to 23.
Sterling entered the Rock Island sectional for
individual honors. In this meet Warren Sonne-
man and Gilbert Flowers qualified for the state
A meet by winning second places. These boys did
exceptionally well in the strong competition. In
, scoring, Sterling placed third with eighteen points
'Il to Rock Island's first with 47 points. Burger and
x Wooster received third olaces, and Pizarro, An-
A- derson, and Wechsler won fourth place honors
This was the last meet of a very fine season and
gives future teams something to aim for.
zy-
The 1947 edition of
the Warrior Racketeers
went through a tough
schedule of matches with-
out a victory. As the sea-
son went on, the team
improved, and the boys
got some real enjoyment
out of the garne. In the
first match with Clinton,
Iowa, Sterling' failed to
score, hut in a later match
they held Clinton to a
score of 4 to 2. In the
N.C.l.C. meet at Dixon,
Sterling took third with
one point.
