15 The Sequoits started the 1944-45 football season with one of the most lnex- perienced teams in the Northwest Conference. There was only one bsckfield let- terman left from last year's squad, which necessitated rebuilding that section. However due to hard work and capable coaching the team developed into one of the best in the county. Three of the boys won berths on the All-Conference team: Bob Hughes, guardg and Stu Good, quarterbackg and Louie Nielsen, tackle. The season closed with the Sequoits in second place with four wins and three loses. DATE TEAM PLACE SCORE We They Sept. McHenry There 0 25 Sept Warren There 13 5 Sept.

14 SWING BAND Should you visit the north end of the building in the region of the music room some morning before school, you might hear strains of a favorite classical piece or the boogie rhythm of modern Jive. That 'practice makes perfect' is clearly demonstrated by talented students. The diligence of these students has been rewarded by the com endations re- ceived after the Christmas Concert, Sequoia Musicals, and the annual Spring Con- cert. The group also entertained at the Farm Bureau meeting in February in Grays- lake. In March the band presented its own musicals, which was a huge success. Sev- eral students sang vocals with the band. Much credit for the success of the group should be given to Mr. Von Holwede, who spends a great deal of time in molding the students into a team, which really could render music as we like it, sweet and solid.

The officers for 44-45 are as follows: Ken Krueger, president, Don Gaa,vice president: Stewart Good, secretary, and Ralph Trieger, treasurer. At the meeting Don Gaa was elected to have his name put on the WSportsman- ship Trophey,' and Ralph Trieger was elected captain of the 45 football squad. This year there are approximately 15 Hbona fide' members. Of last years 'A' Club, over 50 per cent of the members are now serving in the armed forces.
