On January 27, 1955, 130 of us will graduate. Our first semester was most confusing, but summer came and went, and we were finally freshmen. Will we ever forget the football game that fall when Lane's Indians beat the Eagles 52 to 7? Oh yes, there was the Clean-up the l.unchroom Campaign, and we certainly showed we were on the ball when we won the paper drive that year. Came '52, and two of our girls showed their initiative by restarting the long dormant Spanish club. We first showed Taft our wealth of talent at the Spring Concert when Virginia Petersen and Jayne Riley danced, and we made the school sit up and take notice when Joan Gaertner, Connie Popovich, Jackie Richter, and Carol Staiger made the cheerleading squad. Weren't we proud in 1953 when Pris Fisher became an officer of Junior Girls and Mary Jo Osborn was chosen our representative in the Baseball Queen's Court? And what about the fine iob Dick Olson did for our football team, and Bill O'Brien's fine playing on the basketball team? We really beamed all over when Ginny Peterson won a S200 bond for her slogan in the safety drive. January '54, and we were seniors, upper classmen. Mary Ann Albrecht won a poster contest, and we popped our buttons again when Carol Kurfess was in the Baseball Queen's court. And weren't we proud when Donald Mellema, Carole Oliver, Dick Olson, Carol Staiger, and Gwen Weber made the National Honor Society in their 4B semester? 4A's at last, was our cry in September, but the ioy bells ceased to ring when we found we had class dues to pay. We were all happy to see the school spirit at our pep rally, and to see our new principal Miss Gillies taking such an interest in our school's activities. We had such a lovely time at our luncheon, and simply tops would describe our class party. Next, the Hoefer Memorial program and the Christmas Concert were impressive. Carole Oliver and Connie Popovich represented us as officers in the Student Council. Bill Moody was elected as our class president and Donald Mellema was declared valedictorian. We looked forward to the installation of 19 of our members in the National Honor.Society, the Key Ceremony, held on January 14, and the wonderful prom which was held on January 7. But with graduation night comes the end of our four wonderful years at Taft, four years we will never forget.

U ef V1 af' Yi' KP -45 TAFT'S ATHLETIC BOARD 1954- 1955 The complete education of a student must include physical as well as mental and moral development. An opportunity to achieve this is given Taft High School students through a varied program of athletics. Cleft to rightl Mr, Jack Rapper, Mr. Harry Miller, Mr. James Smilgoff, and Mr. Joseph Kupcinet. Taft's four coaches have had a very good record, not only in pro- ducing good teams but in producing good men to be good citizens. The four coaches are Jim Smilgoff, Jack Rapper, Joe Kupcinet, and Harry Miller. The first one, Jim Smilgoff, is Taft's baseball coach. He has been at Taft since 1946, and in that space of time has set one of the best records ever held by a prep coach. His teams have been in the play-offs every year but one, and he won one City title. A for- mer alumnus of Lane Tech, he came to Taft after coaching at Har- rison High. The second coach, Jack Rapper, is Taft's basketball and golf coach. He has been at Taft since 1941, excluding a service stint. His teams have done very well in golf, as they have won five City titles and have gone to the State meet six times. His basketball teams have not been so good, since he has had only one play-off team. The third coach is the football and swimming coach, Joe Kup- cinet, who has been at Taft since 1939 when he took over the iob after coaching at Lane Tech. Mr. Kupcinet has had a very fine record in football, as he has had three teams in the play-offs. The fourth coach is Harry Miller, who has been the tennis coach since the team was organized two years ago.

SPORTS STAFF 1954-1955 Have you ever thought about the work that must go into a school's first year- book? All the verses about The midnight oil have been true during these last few months, and here are the people who have been burning it! Ed Scholl, the editor ofthe sports section, is tops in his field, shown by his work as sports writer for the Edison-Norwood Review and his faithful leadership in this section of the Aerie. The backbone of any yearbook is the photographer, and Bob Miller, a popular and hard working senior, has made the entire publication sparkle with his Class A photographs. Working closely with the photographic section was our very capable artist, Sue Moshier. Girls' sports were handled by Mary Bennett, while Jim Newpart and Jerry Krause reported the male athletic achieve- meniS.

TENNIS TEAM An outstanding All-City golf team was the word around Taft last June. Five boys, all outstanding golfers, and Coach Jack Rapper took every golf title they could, except the State final in which they placed fifth. To take the City final they had to beat very good teams like Senn and Morgan Park to qualify. This they did by winning nine straight league matches. All five golfers play a well-rounded game of golf. Ron Cwiklinski had the best average with eighty strokes per match, but not far behind him were Tom Orsi with 81, and Lester Miller and Mike Sutter with 82. Bill Kadlecik was high man with 83. Ron Cwiklinski had the lowest game with 74. He accomplished this on two occasions, one when the team played North Park and the other when he was qualifying for the State final. ln T954 Taft reestablished a tennis team. The team mem- bers were George Allan, James Bazany, James Ebert, Charles Loane, Allan Fisher and David Nelson. The team started its matches in the middle of May and competition lasted for one month. Taft netted two team wins against four losses and fifteen individual victories against twenty defeats. For a green team that was quite a good record. The '55 team was organized in May, and after State com- petition, City battles began. The first team has seven mem- bers, enough to play four singles and one doubles match with an alternate. A is .

IL VARSITY BASEBALL This year the Taft team is one of destiny. It has been groomed for Taft, ad- justed for Taft and made into a championship team for Taft. The players on this team have played together all through the Little Pony and the Liberty Leagues. They matured together as the team that represents Taft. This team is composed of future professional players willing to learn, to listen, and to play. Taft's regular intielders are Bill Gawron, an All-City catcher last year, Gary Bialk, a high ranking first baseman, Tom Plath, a boy who is known for his great fielding around second base, Al Carlson, star shortstop who has a lot of natural ability, and Lynn Terry, the only sophomore playing regular, at third. The outfield consists of Jim Hartzer, a .365 hitter last year, Frank Gori, in his first year as a regular, and Andy Barich, who is also a pitcher. Last but not least are Taft's outstanding hurlers, Ray Henricks, Andy Barich, Larry Neuman and Ron Raider.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 'T' Taft had a well balanced and spirited squad this year. It was the strong- est varsity basketball team Taft has had, as is evidenced by their record of twelve wins and seven losses. The team beat good teams in Schurz, Senn, and De Paul, the latter taking second place honors in the City finals. The team did not have any standout players as the box scores showed. The Eagles had seven main regulars this year, Dick Olson and Bill O'Brien who graduated in February, and Frank Gori, Dick Petersen, Andy Barich, Bob Duchai, and Tom Orsi, who are iuniors and will be back next year. These five juniors showed that they can really shoot. ln the last five league games they made 'I36 out of 277 field goal tries, which netted the excellent mark of .498. Taft will lose four hoopsters in the June graduation, Bill Herbst, Ron Cwiklinski, Gary Bialk, and Ed Scholl.

Camera shy: Coach Ed Scholl, After losing all but one player from last season, Taft's Frosh-Soph Eagles lost fourteen out of sixteen games. The team was built around Lynn Terry who is now a QA. Lynn was the high scorer this year. Taft's Frosh-Soph has one of the smallest teams in the City. Three of the play- ers, Dennis Pickett, Bob Teuscher, and Dick Mallahan, were just a little over five feet tall. Ed Scholl coached these boys during the last part of the season. He pointed out that next year they should win more games with one year of experience be- hind them. They have lots of spirit and hustle, he said, and they are the finest bunch of boys with whom one could work. The following boys will return next year: Dick Melby, Bob Darville, Stu Crip- pen, Dick Mallahan, Bob Teuscher, Dennis Pickett, and Bob Gunderson.

A combination of spirit and hus- tle gave the team a record very deserving of high merit. In league play the Eagles eliminated all but one foe with ease, giving them a share of their section title. Overwhelming victories were scored over Kelvyn Park, Marshall, and Roose- velt, and an impressive upset was handed to Steinmetz to the tune of 13 to 6. The Eagles lone loss came at the hands of Amundsen as the Vikings crossed the goal line with less than a minute of playing time remaining to edge out Taft, 13 to 12. Upon entering the play-offs the Eagles were eliminated by a powerful Schurz eleven, 'I4 to 6, even though Taft's statistical advantage was practically double that of Schurz. The all-around fine play of Pat Perrille, Den- nis Barry, Bob Ryan, Gary Bell, Joe Nykaza, Jim Newport, Dan Mazur, and John Konecnik, coupled with the fine backfield play of Dick Olson, Bob Garland, Mike Cavan, Jim Nelles, Bill Oberheide, Don Rowe, and Ron Gottfred, added up to a team of which all Taft can be proud. to Joe Nykaza and Dick Olson, as Taft routed Roosevelt 28 to 6 in their Northwest White Division League opener at Winnemac Park. Bob completed 14 out of 20 aerials as the Eagles scored at least once in every quarter except the third.

HIGHLIGHTS THE SCHOLASTIC SCROLL ln preceding semesters the Scholastic Scroll took the place of an honor club. ln order for a student to make the Scholastic Scroll, he had to have an E average or better in his majors for the preceding semester. The names were then entered according to Divisions on a scroll. The scroll was mounted in the main hall, and the names were printed in the TAFT TRIBUNE. Now the Taft Honor Club has replaced the Scholastic Scroll, although names of the mem- bers still appear on a scroll. However, to be- long to the Honor Club, students must now have an accumulative E average in both maiors and minors. The first meeting of the Honor Club STAGE CREW T954 - T955 Mr. W. J, Freedman if Fi +5 4 Most students, relaxing in the auditorium and listening to a well-con- ducted assembly program, are aware only that some place behind the stage someone is turning the lights off and on. Manipulating the lights is only one of the stage crew's many functions, as one soon learns when he looks behind the scenes. Before an audience arrives the crew must clear the stage and set up the sound equipment. While the assembly is in progress it must adjust the lights, regulate the sound, and assist in any way possible to help the per- formance run smoothly. To add to these duties, special requests must be attended to, such as the playing of a record or the turning on of a spotlight at the right moment. Although assemblies and other programs keep the stage crew busy, the crew is never idle in the intervals between these programs. Many times it must repair and prepare equipment for future programs. The stage crew also sets up the PA system in the lunchroom at the be- ginning of each semester, and during the football and basketball seasons it sets up equipment to be used during the various games.

A student who wears the gold pin of the National Honor Society may be considered an example of the well-rounded student. The members of this Society are chosen from the Senior Class. There may be no more than ten percent of the 48 Class and not more than fifteen percent of the 4A Class as members. Each semester a special panel of teachers, of which Mrs. Lukens is the head, chooses those students whom it considers eligible. A student may have straight S grades and still not become a member. To scholarship must be added leadership, service, and character. All of these qualities are important to a well- rounded student. An assembly is held at the end of each semes- ter in which those students who have been nominated to the National Honor Society be- come members. Four students, usually members from the preceding semester, are chosen before the assembly to hold the offices of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The new members receive cards and pins signifying that they are members of the National Honor Society. ?'he I t V Xi- Taft Code Broadcast C 0 D E I N Pictures showing parts of the Taft Code as formed by the Taft P.T.A., C T I N faculty, and Student Council.

In order to serve the many students who visit the library daily, sixty student library helpers check attendance, keep shelves orderly, and check books in and out. The sixty stu- dents are divided in such a way that there are enough students to help each period of the day. They have proved to be a great help to the li- brarians in keeping the library run- ning smoothly. B O X G F F I C E The Box ofTice is at one time or another visited by every student. Here students can purchase such items as locks, book-covers English handbooks chemistry H E L P E R S equipment, tickets for games, and other necessities.

The managing editors, page editors, reporters, and so forth, are taken from the various journalism classes. By working on the paper, they receive very valuable experience. The Trib, as the paper has been nick-named by the students, records as many of the news stories, student accomplishments, sports events, club activities, and other occurrences as it is possible to cover. These are all combined every two weeks to compose a paper which the students enioy. Mr. Frank J. Skoff has sponsored the Trib for the past two years. So far both he and the students working on the paper have done excellent jobs. They put the Trib out for the students' benefit, and they hope that it pleases the students as much to read it as it pleases them to publish it. MANAGERS Many students think of their Division Business Manager as a person with an upturned palm. Collection of funds, however, is only part of his interesting iob. The Business Manager not only distributes various items, but builds up school spirit in the students to support the various teams and drives of the school. The Business Managers distribute such items as bus cards, identification photos, dance schedules, and baseball booster tags. They act as salesmen for the TAFT TRIBUNE. They also distribute football, Christmas Concert, and Spring Concert tickets. The annual magazine drive in the fall always presents quite a bookkeeping job, but the Business Managers always feel that their efforts have been well rewarded when the final results are publicized. Collections for the Community Fund and the ChiIdren's Aid Society are hon- dled very efficiently by the Business Managers. The newest job for the Business Managers has been to collect pledges for the yearbook. All collections and records are turned over to Mr. Bigler, the faculty represen- tative, during regular Business Manager periods. The A.M. Division Business Managers meet daily during third period, and the P.M. Division Business Man- agers meet daily during ninth period. 't Q 01 H DANCE COMMITTEE The Dance Committee is behind the scenes of almost every Friday night dance. Creating dances that everyone will enjoy is its main function. Taft's dance themes, bids, and decorations come from this committee's imagination and effort. For each dance they plan something new and differ- ent to attract the interest of the students. The Committee is headed by ofticers chosen each semester and is sponsored by Miss Marquardt. In the past several semesters the Committee's mem- bership has been increased from thirty-five stu- dents to fifty-one. Work is done through smaller committees, each headed by a chairman. The committees include the Art and Poster Committee, Bid, Entertainment, and Decorating Committees. The dances have always been successful and will always bring back pleasant memories. Decorating Taft Dances LUNCHROGM COMMITTEE The Lunchroom Committee is an organization composed of mem- bers of the Student Council. At the beginning of each semester it registers the students at various tables, sees that everything is in order, and helps the Freshmen get situated. By looking at the lunch- room, one can easily see what a fine iob the Committee has done. ,J- DRAMA CLUB 1954-1955 is Front raw Cleft to rightlz Sue Unger, Bill Oberheide, Marlowe Petrie, Mike Cavan, Nancy Boldt, Gayle Schroeder.

The Taft Mixed Chorus originated when Taft first opened in 1939. It was originally under the direction of Mrs. Lino, and was later directed by Mrs. Scanlan and Mr. Biletta. In T951 Mrs. Erst came to Taft to become director of the chorus. The Chorus membership at that time was thirty-two, but since has grown to a maximum of 116. Since last semester, forty-one members had to be dropped, leaving a total of seventy-five. Not all the Chorus members necessarily have good voices, but they all possess good character. Each se- mester the Chorus has an annual banquet which is a farewell to the Seniors. All the Chorus members and alumni of the chorus are invited. 4... f .ew di-su x , 91' .

When they know of someone who is ill, or who has passed away, they sing the Lord's Prayer for that person. The Mixed Chorus is bound together by the spirit and enthusiasm of every one of the members. They feel that their responsibility to the Chorus goes be- yond working for music credit or service points. Ask any one of them if he would give it up.

Pops died in the fall of l95l at the age of fifty, but he will always be remembered by those who knew him as the man who would do anything for a friend. He was like a father to everyone, hence the nickname Pops, All the students at Taft were re- garded by him as his kids, whether he knew them or not. Pops entered his Orchestra and Bands in compe- tition often and they were never rated lower than S except the last year that he led them. That was the first time for many to see Pops let down. Pops wrote the Taft Loyalty Song, and the words to the Taft Founders March. He was working on o serious song for the Key Ceremony just before his death. At the time of his death the song was nearly finished, but there remained one line with which he had never been satisfied. Mr. Walter J. Freedman, our present band leader, has been at Taft for four years. Wally, as he is called, has coached our R.O.T.C. Band through the cadet parades and federal inspections, where they won honorable mentions. Once a year he takes the Concert Band to the ele- mentary schools in the vicinity to show the students there what Taft has to offer them in bond activities. This year the Band and Orchestra put on their first annual concert in order to buy new instruments. They also participate in the Taft Music Concert along with the Choruses. Pops Rapier and Wally Freedman have built musical organizations that are a fine credit to Taft High School, and of which everyone is proud.

To the Students at Taft High School: Activities at Taft High School cover a wide range of interests. We are concerned about the improvement of scholarship. We cheer the prowess of our athletes. We extend our horizon through extra-curricu- lar organizations, and we gain poise and personality by participating in social events. Permeating the whole, there is a friendliness be- tween students and teachers that creates a wholesome educational environment. As you look through the pages of your Aerie, you will have many fond memories of high school days. lt is my earnest hope that your school has helped each of you to develop ideals, understandings, and integrity that will contribute to your personal welfare and success. It is my further hope that individual ideals will encourage each of you to contribute your time, your talents, and your thoughts to the common good. The betterment of our world for one and all is the American Way of Life and the purpose of education. Sincerely, Was' Mary C. Gillies Principal Page I2 '--. Mr. Leonard P.

U X4 gl 5 t yt 1 ' -1? try jx VARSITY FOOTBALL Go, Taft, go! was the sound that rang out through the football stadiums of the Northwest White Division in 1956. And go the Eagles did. For the hrst time in their four years in the White Division they brought home the North- west White Division title. They not only brought home the title but they amazed the entire city by going all the way to the quarter finals of the public league play before losing. They were a great team - the Eagles of '55, They hustled every minute, they ran hard, they tackled viciously, they blocked with all their might, and they won. This Taft team under coach Joe Kupcinet found out early that Practice means perfect was not on old saying but a real truth. They found that the harder they worked on the practice field the better they played in the games. The T955 football season started out on a bad note for Taft when the Eagles lost to Thornton Fractional and then to hated rival Schurz. That Schurz game may have been the turning point in the season as Taft, after owning a half- time lead, fell victim to a poor Schurz team and lost 27 to 7. In the first league game against Tuley the Eagles re- bounded from the Schurz fiasco to pound their opponents 20 to 0. From then on nothing could stop them. They breezed by Senn 2l to7, Marshall 20 to 0, Kelvyn Park 38 to 0, and came into the final league game with Amundsen with a clean slate. The Eagles down by a 6 to 0 score at the half put on a show in the second half that amazed even Taft fans. They blocked and tackled so hard that they came out with two touchdowns and a l3 to 7 victory along with the title. ln their tTrst playoff game of the year against highly touted Red Division team, Crane Tech, the Eagles stunned the whole public league as well as the Crane Team. Favored to win Crane was treated to an exhibition of football which left the fans starry-eyed. Final score: Taft 32, Crane 0. The spectators at the game which was played before a capacity crowd at Lane Stadium saw the Eagles give their best performance of the year. The next week the Eagles had the misfortune to run up against city champion-to-be Chicago Vocational. Over 5000 fans at Soldier's Field witnessed one spectacular run which eventually netted a touchdown and extra point for Taft. Fighting valiantly against overwhelming power the Eagles finally bowed to Vocational 40 to 7. Even in losing to the city champs, the Eagles played rough, tough football, the kind of football that makes a coach proud. And coach Joe Kupcinet had reason to be proud of this team of '55, for on it were some truly fine players. Tackle Dennis McCarthy made several all city, and all area squads, while end Dick Petersen, guard Oscar Lundegard, center Neil Frumkin, and halfbacks Dick Thorn- ton and Gregg Herstowski made the all section teams. But the most important thing any team can earn is praise from its coach, and this team was especially proud of these words from Coach Joe Kupcinet: This Taft team of T955 was one of the greatest l have ever coached. lt was a coach's dream. The boys worked hard every minute and they played like champions all year.

TAFT - THORNTON FRACTIONAL ln the opening game of the season Taft lost l2 to 7 to Thornton Fractional. The game was played at Calumet City on September VJ. Taft led at the half time 7 to 6 by virtue of a pass from Dick Thornton to Paul Martorano. Then Fractional scored four minutes before the final gun. Taft battled back and climaxed o 60-yard drive by going to the Thornton three-yard line with a minute left, only to be stopped when end Lou Knudtson dropped a fourth down pass in the end zone to kill the Eagle chances and put the game on ice for Thornton. TAFT - SCHURZ The Eagles suffered their second loss in a row as they were dealth a crushing 27 to 7 defeat by traditional rival Schurz, at Lane Stadium on September 29. After leading at the half by a 7 to 6 margin the Eagles fell apart as Schurz back Bob Salvatore went wild, scored two touchdowns, and passed for another, to win for Schurz. Scoring for Taft was halfback Dick Thornton, who cli- maxed o 60-yard drive when he went over from two yards OUY. Schurz didn't win a game for the rest of the year in the Red Division. TAFT - TULEY The Eagles picked up their first win of the year, as they beat Tuley 20 to O at Hansen Park on September 29, in the league opener, Taft scored in the first, second, and fourth quarters while holding the opponents scoreless. Scoring for Taft were Gregg Herstowski on a run, Walter Podney on a yard run, and Dick Thornton on a run, The Taft line played a great game, stopped Tuley at every turn, and completely dominated p'ay. TAFT - SENN Scoring twice in the first half and once in the fourth quarter, Taft's Eagles romped to their second straight win of the year as they beat Senn 21 to 7 before 2000 fans in Winnemac Park on October 7. Taft scored early in the first quarter on a 28 yard pass play from halfback Dick Thornton to end Lou Knudtson. Thornton scored the second touchdown, running over left end for 7 yards. Gregg Herstowski finished out the scoring with o one-yard plunge. Again the boys in the Taft line were outstanding. They rushed Senn passes continually and were in a large part responsible for the win. TAFT - MARSHALL The Eagles racked up their third win in league play as they beat Marshall 20 to O at Rockne Stadium on October l3. Opening the scoring in the second quarter, Taft's Bob Duchai plunged nine yards to give the Eagles a 7 to O half- time advantage. Then late in the fourth quarter, Taft rallied for two more touchdowns to insure the win. Gregg Herstowski scored from l6 yards out and Dick Thornton scored on a six-yard run to end the game.

Those were the words of head football coach Joe Kupcinet as he spoke to an Aerie reporter last fall on the night of the Taft football banquet. On the night of December 7, 1955, the Taft Football Parents Club sponsored the second annual Taft football banquet, honoring the newly- crowned Northwest White Division champions. On that night at the Taft cafeteria, some 500 people iammecl in to honor coach Kupcinet and his boys with a fine meal and some very entertaining speakers. The Taft Football Parents Club is made up of the fathers and mothers of the boys on the Taft football team. The purpose of the organi- zation is to help Mr. Kupcinet in any that it can and to see to it that Taft's football players lead a good life at home as well as in school. The football banquet is just one of the things that the club has done for football at Taft in the three years that the Club has been functioning. The Club has provided movies of the Taft games so the players might study their errors and make corrections. The Parents Club also helped provide bus rides, enabling almost 300 fans to attend the first game at Calumet City. Aside from this they have given their time and their pleasures to see that Taft may have good student sportsmen as well as good football players. As the able Mr. Kupcinet has said many time, The Taft Football Parents Club is a blessing to Taft football. Mike '31 Qt 'KC' f X, ' nf VM Y Roland Carlson, Paul Martorano, Louis Holian, John Popadenis, ond Mike Petersen ICE SKATING Five ice skaters flew around the track in record time and Taft added another city title to it's collection. On January I4, at frozen Humbolt Park, those five skaters, Allen and Roland Carlson, Mike Petersen, Paul Martorano and John Papadenis literally did fly around the track. The team skated in five races, won three of them and set three new records - two individual and one team. The team won the title in the only meet of the year for the Public Schools, by beating Lindbloom 26 to l5. In the 440 yard race, which started the day, John Papadenis came in second. Paul Martorano then finished second in the 660 and the Eagles were on the move. Then came the Carlson brothers, the two boys who for the past three years have dominated the in- dividual titles in the public league. This year was to be no different. Each of the boys won his race and set new records in doing it. Roland was the first record-breaker. l-le skated in the 880 yards in l:22.9, to break a record that had been set some I8 years ago. Then the older brother, Allen, took his turn and skated the mile in a record time of 2:59, to break another I8-year-old record. The next event was the mile relay and with Paul Martorano, Mike Petersen and the Carlson brothers skating for Taft, the Eagles skated the mile in a record-breaking time of 21396, to break a I6-year-old record.

The Frosh-Soph teams in both football and basketball will in the future, advance many boys to berths on the varsity teams. The Frosh-Soph football team, a team that had virtually no returning boys from last year's team, went out and played a seven-game schedule and lost only one, a 7 to 6 game to Steinmetz. The Frosh-Soph basketball team, with no returning regulars at all, played hustling basketball which was very fine at times. Its record didn't show a great number of wins but it improved with each game. FROSH-SOPH BASKETBALL Row I: Dennis Pickett, James Davey, Carl Lambert and Bob Teuscher.

Four returning regulars and a lot of question marks was the story of Taft baseball, 1956 version. The returning regulars, pitchers Andy Barich and Ray Henricks and outfielders Frank Gori and Lynn Terry, were expected to form the nucleus of another hne team for Taft coach Jim Smilgoff. To go with those four boys the coach had to find for himself boys who could replace such players as graduated Bill Gawron, Tom Plath, Garry Bialk, Allen Carlson and Jim Hartzer. At the rate Taft was going in North Section play when this issue went to press the coach seemed to have found the players for which he was looking. Dick Teuscher replaced Gawron behind the Plate and Barich and Henricks alternate at first bose when not pitching. Roland Carlson is at second and sophomore Ron Kozemzak covers short, and is hailed as a future star. Although only a freshman, Gordon Lund is one of the best defensive third basemen in the city. In the outfield Gori, Terry, and Gordon Arnspiger play good heads up baseball. The bench is an important thing to any team and, when looking for a pinch hitter or another player to put in the game, the coach could call upon such players as Ron Reider, Leo Drummer, Ken Eeles, Rickey Petersen or Mike Petersen. As this issue goes to press there is only one thing that can be said about this Taft baseball team, and that is that it will be a hustling, fighting, running team of which all Taft can be proud. .Q .Q 'tfzw vi WIN tv 3 ,vs-NJ5N,p Qs..

TENNIS Tennis is a hard, grueling sport that requires constant practice if a person is to improve or keep his game at a good point. Taft has had a tennis team for the past three years. Last year Taft had a State Champion in David Nelson, now at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. Dave was the i955 singles champion of the State. This year the Taft tennis team is made up of Ted Born, Albert Baetz, Norm Olson, Don Ostrom, and Bob Olesko. The team plays their home matches at Norwood Pork during the months of May and June. Along with coach Harry Miller, Mr. Jesse Beaver, a sports loving mathematics teacher, has coached the tennis team this year. GOLF A mighty swing, the ball goes zooming down the fair- way, and Taft's golf team has started another season, Taft's golf team that has in past years produced such players as Ken Henry, Ron Cwiklinski, Mike Sutter, Tom Orsi and Les Miller, is the most successful team at Taft. The Taft golf team has won more city titles than any other Taft team that competes in sports. This year, despite the loss of Cvviklinski, Orsi and Miller from last year, the Taft golf team will again give a good account of itself. Last year the team placed sixth in the State, the high- est a public league team has ever placed. With Bob Zaun, Walter Podney, Dean and Dave Hughes, James Davey, William Beduhn, Tom Foote and John Chious playing, the Eagles will resume their fight with pars, birdies, and eagles in an attempt to bring another city title to Taft.

I x CHEERLEADERS Eleven happy, madly cheering girls dance for joy as the Taft Victory March is played and Taft's foot- ball or basketball Eagles rally to win another game. On the surface that is the story of cheerleading at Taft, but there is much more to this program, much more that the average student does not know or see. There is the required E average, the long hard hours of never-ending practice that lasts from the time school convenes in September until the time it ends in June. There is the tryout at which any aspirant with an E average is welcome to attend. During those pressure-packed hours, even the best of last year's squad can be eliminated by a comparative unknown. A cheerleader is many things. She is the leader of the crowd, the shining light that inspires teams to victory and the hard-working, fast-tumbling example of a fine American teenager. To be a cheerleader one must have an E average in all studies with an S in gym. The cheere leader must be at least a Sophomore. Cheerleading is an honored thing at Taft. To put it as one teacher was heard to say, The cheerleader is the spark that ignites the flame to a great fandom. Pat Mulligan -- Page Editor Lynn Morley f Mon.

There is generally an editor and a writer for each section plus any other helpers that are needed. The editor is in charge of seeing that the right peoole get together for the right picture at the right time and that their names co- incide with their faces on the picture. Since Mr. Nachtwey takes most of the pictures, he and the editors work hand in hand. The writers submit their articles to Mr. McGlothlin for corrections and editing. Then the two parts are combined and you have your yearbook. MAGAZINE DRIVE SUPERSALESMEN These are the students who sold the most subscriptions during the magazine drive last fall. Prizes were awarded to these top sellers. They received modeling courses, cameras, radios and other valuable gifts. Most of the students who secured the honor and title of super salesmen were under classmen. Next fall let's have the juniors and seniors give them some competition. Many of us don't know all the work that goes into the assembling of last year's Aerie. Students, some not con- nected with the yearbook, met in the basement of a neigh- borhood church, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, working from early afternoon. Through the night until early the next morning. They assembled the Aerie and put the covers on so the book would be ready before school was over in June. This is only one example of what the students of Taft did to make our first Aerie a great success. , -. ,af Pv-: STUDENT COUNCIL km i'JFRClA SPARK - Secretory DlCK TRAUGOTT - President .TNDA DWILLEE - Vice-president NORMAN OLSON .

He collects for the Com- munity Fund and the Children's Aid Society. He sells the Taft Tribune every other Tues- day, and various items such as football and baseball pencils throughout the year. Mr. Bigler, who manages these sales, receives all the collections and records at the regular business managers' study. Third period is the meeting time for the AM.

The business manager is a very impor- tant tigure, for his school spirit is contagious and soon it is shared by the whole division and eventually by the whole school.

TEACHER HELPERS In order to relieve teachers ot time consuming routine work, many Tatt stu' dents otler their services as teacher help. ers. The helpers run errands, correct tests, record grades, and aid the teacher in numerous ways. Not only do the teachers beneht from this service, but the entire student body reaps the rewards, for most teachers are generous enough to devote their extra time to sponsoring activities and making their classes more enioyable. LOST AND FOUND HELPERS When articles are lost or found at Talt, they are taken to a small room on the third floor where they are stored until their owner comes to claim them. The re- cording, disbursing and storage ot these items is accomplished by a handful ot students under the direction ot Mr. Piuppo. Thanks to the devotion ot these students, many of whom voluntarily accept an ex- tra class period to provide this service, valuable and important articles ind their way back to grateful owners.

Upon graduation from Lane, he went to the Univ. of Ill. where he continued to play basketball and also played freshman baseball. After taking more courses in phys. ed. at De Paul, he came to Taft in 1941 and coached basketball and baseball in which he went to the playoffs in 1942. He went into the service until 1946, returned, and resumed his coaching of basketball and started to coach golf. His golf team has taken six city championships, and the basketball team went to the semi-finals in 1955-56, Another Lane man, Mr. Smilgoff played both baseball and basketball in high school. At the Univ. of Wisc. he again went out for both sports and was captain of the freshman and varsity baseball teams. In his senior year, he was named as the outstanding player. From 1933 to '38 he played pro baseball, and then spent five more years in semi-pro. In 1939 he went to Harrison where he stayed until '46 when he came tc Taft. There he took the baseball team to the play-offs every year. taking two City championships. Taft Teams under his direction went to the play-offs ten times, took City in 1949, and have a season average of 20 wins - 4 losses. ln addition to his fine coaching, he has written a book Winning High School Baseball and is co-authoring, with Harvey Kuenn, another entitled How to Hit.

In practice games, not yet playing up ta their potential, they had a couple of close calls, but still won both games, beating Shurz for the first time in six years. Their only trouble in league play was from Amunclsen who held the Eagles to a seven-seven tie. When Bill Campbell broke his ankle in the Marshall game, Taft suffered a blow the impact of which was not felt until five weeks later in the Morgan Park Game. ln the first play off game, the team stormed to an easy victory over Harrison despite the absence of Campbell, Podney, and Lundegard, who brake his collar bone in the first quarter. Against Morgan, these loses were felt when the Eagles suffered their only defeat. The leading single contributor to Taft's success this season was Dick Thornton who not only passed or ran for most of the touch- downs, but also called the signals. Dick was first string QB on several all-star teams. Other boys who made all-star teams are: John Byrd, Oscar Lundegard, Bob Stump Fizzell, Rich Melbye, and Bob Duch' Duchai.

THE SERVICE SHIELD and CHEVRON by Barbara Blomberg The purpose ot the service award system is to offer some tangible symbol or recognition tc those students who contribute most to the general civic welfare ot Taft by their participation in various servicable activities tor which they receive no credit or award. This symbol is known as the shield, the awarding of the shield is one ot the highest honors that can be bestowed. To acquire a shield sixty ser- vice points are needed. The chevron, an additional award, requires thirty service points. THE MUSIC LETTER Something new has been added to our service award system. Those students now engaged in musical activities without any credit or ser- vice points toward their shield, may be eligible for the music award. The award consists ot a large lyre on the Tatt T , The Tatt music department is proud to be able to show some recognition to the stu- dents who work so hard without any tangible reward. Albert Bates, a member of the Tatt orchestra, pictured above with Mr. Wolter Freedman, was the first student in the music department to receive such an award.

Not only did the staff produce the June 1957 book, but they were also responsible for re- organizing the supplement of the June 1956 AERIE. For a full semester they worked, handicaped by lack of time to meet in production conference. Then at the beginning of the Spring Semester they were given the fifth period on Monday, Wednes- day and Friday as a yearbook period by the acting principal, Miss Steinmetz. To relieve Mr. Nachtwey, the sponsor, of the difficult task of shooting all the necessary photographs, a professional studio was asked to help in photographing large groups. On one occasion, when the photographic schedule called for teacher helpers, a very large group arrived at the designated place. An estimated l,OOO teacher helpers lined up three abreast down the entire first floor and up the south steps. The picture was canceled. Humorous incidents like that kept the staff from having a nervous breakdown. Finally, in a hectic week before deadline, the book was completed. lt was the hard work and long hours put in by the staff and their sponsor that enabled the students to retain the AERlE, a record of your years at Taft High School. by RON .lEDLlNSKl, Managing Editor Ronald Jedlinski ,..,.......

Sandra Leal THE TAFT TRIBUNE by Penny Neeb, 3a in the fall term of l939, when Taft students were first beginning to form the clubs and activities necessary to a well-rounded high school, the Taft Tribune was born. Mrs, Evelyn Perry was the first faculty advisor of this monthly newspaper, and, under her supervision, the stduents continued to issue a apper through the years of World VVar ll when paper was scarce and of inferior quality. The columns were filled with the obituaries of alumni servicemen. Mrs, Perry served in this capacity until i942 when Miss Hattie Morquardt undertook the position. At this time, the Tribune, although smaller, became bi-monthly, thus news reached the students more frequently. When Miss Morquardt resigned from her position as advisor in l952, Mr. Frank Skoff was en- gaged as sponsor and held this job until T955 when he transferred to Lake View High School. At this time, Miss Mary Freyder, a new Taft English teacher was asked to manage the newspaper which was now a well-regulated, orderly, four page, bi-monthly. ln l956 Miss Freyder married and became Mrs. Murphy, resident of Joliet, lllinols. Because of the long distance to Taft, Mrs. Murphy transferred to Morgan Park High School, and Mr. Don McGlothlin took on the task of producing a school newspaper. Mr. McGlothlin has been the Taft Tribune advisor for less than one year and already this paper has added one column per page, has accepted advertising, and as a result of the added income, has been able to expand to a six-page tabloid. Each semester new students ioin this organization, and old students leave, but the Taft Tribune staff, who- ever they may be, will olways try to bring to the students of Taft High School, the latest in events, fashion, gossip, and features.

The hall guards, under the auspices of the Student Council, check corridor passes and HALL GUARDS supervise general corridor behavior, The guards are chosen by the study hall Teacher from the membership of the study halls to serve in this capacity. The student body has indicated their preference for this type of student responsibility and have co-operated fully to prove the success of this system.

BIG BROTHER - BIG SISTER COMMITTEE Until a few years ago the freshmen at Taft went unoriented in many aspects of school life apart from their studies. Then the Student Council organized a ccmmittee to serve as counsellors for the Ib's, This group proved so beneficial that its sponsorship was shifted to the freshman counselling office. This year the big brothers and sisters were selected and super- vised by Miss Casey. The students are selected by class rank and extra-curricular activities and then a boy and a girl are appointed Big Brother and Big Sister to each Freshie Division. They help the freshmen fill out forms, buy equipment and supplies, and straighten out programs. As the semester proceeds, the seniors excourage their charges to ioin teams and other extra-curricular activities, to support the school drives and publications, and to make better grades. The big brothers and big sisters help the freshman to make a good start in school, and the freshmen in turn build on this good foundation to produce a better Taft.

TAFT LIBRARY What would the Tatt library do without the help ot the student helpers? During each period there are two to six helpers, assigned to various iobs, giving assistence to the librarians. The work entails distributing the magazines, working at the desk, collecting and giving out books, and cleaning and straightening the shelves. The students volunteer their services. Some come a period earlier or stay an extra period atter their regular day, to tultill the needs ot the library. Their service is intrinsic in student research at Tatt High School. :Vs 15 gflf 5. 4 .Q MJ A K 'lg 5 I N I 1 F 5 ai- I U -rv 3. if I ' 'NT fl -N TF' ,I NZ s ff: 'As 'Y' sift. h5 .'15 i I LETTERMEN'S CLUB This cl,l1 the newest lit Tait. .s made up 34 Tmout tniiti, lno,s who hone received their varsit. letters in ..ir,oJs spofts Tney meet under 'Fe d rection ot Mr. V.

TAFT MIXED CHORUS-1956-1957 The Taft Mixed Chorus had an exceptionally busy pro- gram during the school year I956-57. The first event of the year to which the chorus brought its musical interpretations was the Taft addition groundbreaking ceremony held on Fri- day, November 9th. The PTA received the first of its semi- annual entertainments by the chorus on December I7, and the second in the spring, on March I8. On December I9, the chorus participated in the Music Department's annual Christmas Concert, at which it upheld its Mixed Chorus tradition by ending its presentation with Handel's Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah. During the Christmas holidays, on December 27, the chorus banquet was held at Nielsen's Restaurant. At this time the alumni and the present members were able to renew acquaintances and say a fond farewell to the graduating members of the chorus to whom the banquet was dedicated. The chorus sang at both the winter and spring ceremonies of the National Honor Society and the Service Awards assembly. lt also participated in the winter graduation. In February, to begin the new semester, they took part in the Drama Department's Brotherhood assembly. A variation in the chorus's usual program was its participation in the welcoming assembly for Taft's new principal, Dr. Haley. For the chorus, Friday, March I5, was a very sad day, since Mrs. Erst left her post as director to accept another position. On that memorable day, all chores were put aside, and the chorus sang Mrs. Erst's old favorites, presented her with a few gifts, and said its sad farewells, On May 24th, the chorus, under the direction of Mr. Starnrn, who graciously stepped in when Mrs. Erst left, did its part to add to the success of the Spring Concert. The season was ended informally with its annual Spring Banquet and the added attraction of a fun-filled combination beach party and picnic.

It has been increased to one-hundred and fifty voices, enabling more students to participate in this fine musical organization. Be- cause of such a large membership, it is now necessary for the chorus to meet two periods a day, instead of one. With half the members meeting each period, the chorus is able to practice their numbers very thoroughly. When a per- formance approaches, the two groups practice together to achieve the harmonious, well-blended tones heard in the final presentation. for the Christmas Concert. Their weeks of hard work and preparation were well spent, for the final product was a huge success. Their most popular song was WINTER WONDER- LAND, which was climaxed by a shower of snowballs, glee- fully thrown by the chorus members at Mr. Stamm.

Let's Talk Shop by Nancy Wander Well, gals, now that you know almost as much about football as the boys dont sit back and try to talk shop with them or theyre liable to start sneaking little ex pressrons like the T or backfield in motion rnto the conversation Frist read this article and then talk shop The minute thev come up with those sly ex presslons slip somethlng like this into the conversation Dld vou see the flanker take that lateral for twentv yards Just before the half yesterday? Of course you ll have to know what you re talking about or one of them IS liable to confuse you Just remember that the cen ter guards tackles and ends are the l1ne n en and the quarterback halfbacks and fullback are the backfield The line men l1ne up at the line of scrimmage which is the point of the ball nearest their goal The backfield men can be in a variety of places behind the l1ne The best known rs probably the T formation, so called because the quarterback IS right behind the center the fullback directly beh1nd h1m with the halfbacks on each s1de fThat looks like a pretty spastic T to mel OOOXOOO OOO The T formation A splrt T 1S when the lrnemen are several feet apart but the backs are 1n the same places At times a T formatlon with a flanker to the right or left rs used flanker IS a back field man who IS several yards outside the end l1ne man Two fouls called qulte often are 0ffS1d6S and backfield in motion Off sides cures when a lineman moves forward before the ball is snapped and makes contact wrth opposing player or else doesnt get back before the ball IS snapped Backfield rn motion occurs when a backfield man moves forward before the ball rs snapped Well gals now that you know so much about rt all dont Just talk about lt get out there and try out for the team' Football Standings Fmal Taft Amundsen Marshall Senn Tuley Kelvyn Park 1 000 Basketball Practice Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec Dec 22 Schedule Taft at Holy Trrnrtx Washburne at Taft DePaul at Taft Taft Taft Taft Taft at Kelx yn Park Taft St Gregory at Taft at Foreman at Tuley at St Patrick at Stelnmetz 7 ! n rv , ' - ' ' ll 77 K6 ' . ,, .

Upon interviewing Laurie Huebner, secretary of the girls' lea- gue I find that a person's average is based on a season s bowling not just on the pre- yious week s score Their average is figured by dividing the total number of pins knocked down by the number of games bowled Average is raised according to the number of games bowled If a person bowls thirty six games he must bowl thirty six pins oyer his ayerage rn order to raise his ayerage one pm Individual handicap IS based on the bowlers average -X high ayerage bowler would haye a low handicap and yice yersa Team handicap is the total number of the indlvrdual bow lers handicaps therefore a team with low ayerage bowlers has as much chance of being in first place as a team with high average bowlers Team standings are cal culated according to the number of games won and lost w rthout regard to the number of pins knocked down bv the team as a whole The Christmas tournament sponsored by the Bowling Proprietors Association at tracted quite a number of bowlers this year The tournament w as divided into three cate gories singles doubles and mixed doubles The cost was 8125 per person for each ey ent entered The tournament w as held the 26 27 and 28 of December Bowler Al Nleskan holder of the high game in the Boys League demonstrates his style iPhoto by Blackj I' Y Y 7 , . - r . l . . .

Well, I hope what I'm going to say won't be rude. Sweet potatoes and turkey are good I'll agree, But isn't it a time to thank God we are free? And to thank Him for all green grass in the land For the water we drink and vast shifting sand? For the forests in which all animals roam the the the Or for vast heaving aceans all covered with foam? For wind that's a mighty wonderful power, A miracle of God that we every hour? For the sky thats so vast an so gorgeously blue, And the rainbow He shows to His own chosen few? For the beautiful colors to nature He brings And the wonderful of chimes as His churches do ring? For a freeman s democracy in our broad land and feel Where churches of every religious sect stand? For the roofs that eternally shel ter our heads, And the ww onderful homes 1n which we are bred? Its seems very strange that in all this vast plan He found such a big part for small erring man It s all yours and mme to be proud of 1ts true, But it wasnt created by any of you So remember this coming Thanks giving Day To thank God for all this in your own special way l -I. 1 SPEND, Tl-lANKSGlVlNCr WEE KEND .soPnoMoP.Es Jumons SENIORS lv'- Conidenfia' ion of short chubby boys since FROSH FROLICS Is it true that Toni G, is think- ing of asking K.W. to Date-Nite?

Chicago and the state champ1on Shlp at Champalgn w 1ll beg1n w 1th 1n the next few weeks and should prove to be as w1ld and woolly as ever As usual, there are many strong teams all w1th the same 1dea of capturing the state crown Here in Chicago the strongest quintet appears to be Crane Du Sable Ph1ll1ps and defending city league champ Dunbar who fimshed th1rd 1n the finals at Champaign last year Crane who many feel w1ll replace Dunbal as c1ty league champ was undefeated 1n 1tS sec tlon and finlshed second to Ph1ll1ps 1n the IIT hol1day tournament Du Sable who came the closest of any c1ty league team to w1n the state champ1onsh1p by f1n1sh1ng second three years ago agam fields a strong champ1onsh1p team d8Sp1te the loss of the m1d term graduate All C1ty center Marvln Torrance Phillips who stunned everyone by since lost league contests to Dun bar Du Sable and Llndbloom and Just managed to get into the play offs however they have lost none of the five starters that won the tournament and st1ll have to be cons1dered a strong' contender Dunbar could and I think will repeat as champs after as spec tacular a playoff struggle as the c1ty league has seen 1n years The Hell Cats went undefeated 1n cen tral section play and boast a 11 and 4 overall record No matter wh1ch of these teams w IHS It IS not probable that It w1ll go anywhere dow nstate where such perennial powers as Elgln Herrln Plnckneyville and Bloom of Ch1ca go Heights hang out Th1S col ummst feels safe in predicting Dunbar to repeat as c1ty league champ and e1ther Flg1n or P1nck neyv1lle to capture the state tltle

have p1tched their team to w1n after w1n Th1s year, however, not one of the SIX lettermen IS a pltcher There are as many cand1dates for the Job as there are members on the team The two most promis 1ng appear to be a crafty l1ttle lefty Denny Pickett and a b1g rrght hander W1lly Maize P1Ck ett, although not fast, has a good curve and remarkable control Ma1ze on the other hand IS very has not yet

wh1ch IS th1rd 1n the league and she also holds the th1rd h1gh series w1th 471 R1ta gladly purchases c1gars for any team mate who IS lucky enough to get a trophy An equally good bowler IS Anna Mae Lundberg who ma1nta1ns a 123 average Anna Mae as anch or man of the team must pull the team through when It IS bowl 1ng badly If you see Jan Lew1s standing 1n the corner , youll know she Just m1ssed a perfect Stflke or failed to p1ck up an easy spare It s doubtful 1f youll see th1s very often because Jan holds a 104 aver age but she assures us she IS gradually 1mprov1ng Lastly we find Bonnle Lebo

as any 1n recent years The mfield although not set, appears to be sound and 1S two deep in every pos1t1on At first base Lynn Terry and Larry Marsh are fighting It out At second base IS Ron Kozemzak, a popular boy with the 3A girls, 1f not with oppossxng pltchers, and Stu Cr1p pen The short stop w1ll probably be Gord1e Lund who played th1rd base last year as a freshman At bhlfd M1ke Peterson and Jerry Meyers seem to be the strongest cand1dates The catchlng, al though strong has been a sore spot s1nce Pete Kral1s operat1on The other two are Kenny Eeles, a let terman, and Ricky Peterson Eeles IS the better rece1ver and more exper1enced Peterson swmgs a big bat, and KFHIIS IS a great competltor and the best bench Jockey on the team The outfield appears to be sound with Gord1e Arnsplger returning 1n left w1th h1s 326 batt1ng aver age and M1ke Petersan, a strong armed hard h1tt1ng boy returlung to either center or rlght The other regulars would appear to come from either Ray MHIZO, Rick ey Peterson, Dennis Gus Bell, or Pete Kral1s There IS a lot of talent on th1s team and It could, w1th a few breaks that It hasnt been able to get 1n the last few years, go all the way Remember

On a modern superh1ghway w1th a modern veh1cle 1n good at a sustalned high speed? Is 1t safe for a dr1ver to oper ate a veh1cle after a couple of beers or 2 or 3 cockta1ls Do modern hydraul1c brakes need regular checklng or are they relatively safe for apph cat1on all the time ANSWERS 1 ACCOfd1Hg to the most recent stat1st1cal 1nformat1on, only 893 of all traffic acc1dents are due to mechan1cal defects Most h1ghway acc1dents are due to defects ' of the dr1ver Many states and c1t1es report 9 out of 10 fatal traffic ZCCI dents as the result of a traffic v1olat1on For normal one car length for every 10 m1le an hour of speed At 50 m1les an hour you shuld be at least 5 car lengths beh1nd the car ahead dr1vers, at least Speed too fast for cond1t1ons Noth1ng w1ll substitute for good Judgment and care on the part of the drlver when opera t1ng a veh1cle in adverse wea ther cond1t1ons Tuesday Accldent records show fewer deaths and 1nJur1es due to automob1les on Tuesday than on any other day of the week Trafiic volume IS llght est on Tuesday but Tuesday IS as dangerous as any other day for the careless drlver and the vwlllful v1olator STOP A flashing red s1gnal has the same effect as a Stop sign Th1s IS the most m1s understood traffic warning on the h1ghways today For too many drlvers 1t means slou down a l1ttle then rush ahead A rear 1re Conclus1ons drawn from hundreds of art1 ficlal blovsouts on prov1ng grounds show that when a rear t1re blows at h1gh speed the car becomes unstable and fish ta1ls An 1nexper1enced driver IS apt to overcorrect or correct too late On a curve e1ther front or rear blow outs can be equally dxsastrous In th1s cond1t1on the cars lose both tract1on and d1rect1onal stab1l 1ty and are eas1ly overturned Most states require that you be able to see an object or a person approx1mately 350 feet away Do you know what a d1stance of 350 feet looks like Measure It oH somet1me youll be surprlsed Defimtely not Fat1gue affects a drivers ab1l1ty to see clearly and acurately H1ghway hyp nos s dulls alertness Most slovr pace of congested

She was con- sistently active in numerous pro- fessional organizations and was se- lected for inclusion in Who's Who in American Education. Her pro- fessional writings are cited in the Encyclopedia of Educational Re- search, the Review of Educational Research, and the Education Index. Inspirational Leader Under Miss Gillies' administra- tion at Taft the Taft Code was born.
