The sanctity of the home and the widest of educational opportunities are ideals cherished by all Americans.

During these trying war days with their demands for united efforts in Red Cross, scrap drives, bond and stamp sales, and general war activities, when our families are being called upon to make Supreme sacrifices, it is fitting that you should honor those who are bravely striving to hold fast to the ideals of the American Family. In this Schurz Family Album are those familiar home and school scenes and activities which, reproduced all over the country, make America. GEORGE F. CASSELL and MRS.

Keffech'ng tAe Sunny ekloum Our friends in the community and our teachers enjoyed the tea held at the opening of our very lovely Social Room. Its beauty of color and furnishings was admired by all our visitors. We are very fortunate in having this attractive and useful room as an addition to our building, and are thankful to Mr. Bauersfeld and the 1945 SCHURZONE, Whose support made it financially possible. Miss Goelz and her Social Committee under Miss Keenan and Miss Quirk assisted in the selection of the furniture. hmh .Saenl in Our Sociaf Koom The seniors were among the first to entertain proudly in the Social Room. Clubs and Class groups fell under its charm as teas, conferences, and parties were held here. The perfection of the room, due to its interior design, is the creation of a member of our Faculty, Miss Katharine Schmidt, who also executed the two large oil paintings and the lovely screens. The following are the other members of the room committee: the Misses Everist, Kober, Sylvester, Tschan, and Mrs. Van Valzah. AJJiIZtIIIt Prilztipul MISS GOELZ Animmt Principal MR.

Schurz family is no exception; all clubs and organizations have in- cluded in their programs for the year some form of war activity. These scenes of preparing attractive gifts for service men through the War Drive, of selling bonds, of collecting scrap and paper were repeated many times throughout the year. Our Social Room was the scene of many gatherings. Our school entertained the North Side Art Teachers and Supervisors at a tea, at which Miss Jane Palcynski invited Miss Elizabeth Robertson, the Director of Art in Chi- cago, to speak. Mrs. Helen Spero, the director of the Milwaukee Handcraft Project, gave an interesting ac- count of her work and exhibited some very fine art pieces. At Christmas, the P.T.A. held their meeting in our Social Room; and evetybody enjoyed tea and music. June brought good-bye to Mr. Willard and Mr. Slepicka, to whom we give many cheers for their cooperation and service.

Field, teacher of Physics, and Miss Ruth Lichter, teacher of English Their service and devotion to the ideals of Schurz will long be an inspiration to all who knew them. .l27l getting Rad? t0 CZaffenge $6111.; SAaAegslaeare The first taste of Shakespeare comes right after Treasure Island and Poe. A few semesters later pupils are staring blankly into space mumbling, Friends, Romans, and countrymen, - or trying their best to appreciate lyric poetry.

The two of them keep the familyls conversation up to date, and if Juniofs strategy rivals Dadls it is due to his Social Studies classes at Schurz. Here, he learns of other wars and 0f the geography of the worlds battle fields. His interest in todays news is also stimulated in class, for Current Events is an important study for the fellows and girls who will be making tomorrow's news. Miss Wincherls History VI and Civics classes made use of the study and became contenders in the National Current Events Contest Which is sponsored by the American Education Press, publishers of 'iOur Times? Schurz has been very proud of its winners and their success in these Contests, for our students compete against the very best from high schools all over the country. Our Janguage $eloartment The language of the ancient Romans is studied today not only because it is mother to French, Spanish, and Italian, but because it forms the basis for many of our English words as well. The beauty of the language of Schiller and Goethe should not be lost in the war-torn world. The Ger- man department has therefore attempted to preserve the German culture in its purity. Both their lan- guage and their literature should help us to under- stand the German people after Hitler has been disarmed. T30... This war has taught us the importance of closer rela- tions with the American republics. A knowledge of their language is therefore becoming more valuable. The Spanish department has this year emphasized spoken rather than written Spanish. The pupils in the classes have learned not only to read, but also to con- verse in the language of our neighbors to the south. Some Sunny eJUourd in Janguage Cfaddezf This semester, each French class is organized as a French Club under the direction of the first period Advanced French Class. . L H I Raina. : Each class begins its session with i e W .. - mixm . these words: La classe com- mence. La seeince du Circle Francais est ouvert. This means The class will begin; the meet ing of the Club of France is open. Besides the regular class work of translating exercises, learning vocabulary and gram- matical forms, the pupils learn to sing French songs as these class members are doing in the picture. Chicagots large Polish population makes the study of their mother tongue an important subject in the school curriculum. Here students gain a better understanding of Polish culture and customs. In the picture, the students are holding typical Polish Christmas tree ornaments, made from egg shells and decorated with colored tin-foil. eye The Chicago School Childretfs Fair at the Art Insti- tute last December inspired varied activities in Mrs. Joyce's art classes. With paints and a bit of inge- nuity, they made wooden lapel buttons and papier- mache Christmas ornaments Which they packed in ibedigning geaufy XOI' egome CLHCI $A00f hand-decorated boxes. For our own school, they made original clean-up posters and decorations for the schooYS Christmas trees. Dusty chalk and paint smeared hands are the woe of every art student, but multicolored fingers are justified by the results. Mrs. Wallingsfordts art classes made colorful illustrations of South America. Their lovely embroidered purses, another successful project, were sold at the School Childrents Fair. There was extra work in Schurz art classesework with a purpose. Mrs. Wulffs Art I classes contrib- uted brightly colored holiday menu covers and book markers to the Red Cross. The Art II classes used patriotic themes for their compositions, basing them. on victory gardening and the Four Freedoms. M!

Under the direction of Miss Schubert these pupils are taught to use the ma- chines that they will encounter in an up-to-date office, such as Mimeograph, Ditto duplicator, Dictaphone, and vari- ous kinds of calculators. Attitudes and practices which control an efficient ofhce are the engrossing problems which en- gage the attention of these earnest stu- dents. The skill that these girls gain, as well as the training in office etiquette that they receive, prepares them for a successful business career. -37h WfA pencilii Poideal ..38h. The Commercial Department offers a well-balanced, unified training in all things pertaining to business. Whether the student plans to use this knowledge and skill for his own personal use, or for a business or college career, the choice of subjects is wide enough to permit each one to suit his interests and abil- ities. These shorthand students, shown here at their lessons, are trying hard to meet the requirements of taking dictation'at one hundred words per minute and transcribing it as accurately and neatly as possible. jclaling WacAine .4in Probably the all-time high in self-disgust comes when one of our perspiring comptometrists slams the wrong key as she nears the last line of an exercise, but Miss Kilpatrick gives the droop- ing student courage to tackle that grim lesson again and helps her to learn the whims and ways of a temperamental comptometer which so magically adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides.

Through this subject, the pupil comes to understand natural phenomena and through this knowledge works better, safer, and faster. Experiments on sound and light, magnetism and electricity, heat engines and motors flll the days of the physics students. Here they learn that a thing must be proved before it can be taken for a fact. Here they become aware of the superior precision and conciseness of scientific language and are soon moti- vated to adopt it in expressing them- selves. -46e jAa!

Stimulated by the demands of war the chemist has revealed untold new wealth Which Will in the peace to come remake our homes and daily lives. It is a long step between the chemist in industry and Johnny in Chemistry I, but many a serious-minded student with a social consciousness to be of value to mankind has had his beginnings here in Schurz Chemistry Laboratory. When odors of sulphur permeate the halls, perhaps a famed chemist is in the making. .xdlolofying Sience l0 .Azlome anal gLOOK 42!; To each Freshie comes the clammy pleasure of meeting the school skeleton when his General Science class delves into physiology. Later, these same students are poring over the swirling lines of a weather map, sketching a class experiment, or pondering heavily over some scientific principle of heat, light, magnetism, electricity, or simple machines. The course covers a wide range of fundamental science, but each phase is studied thoroughly with an eye toward practical use. From constellations to osmotic pressure, it's all part of the subject matter of this versatile class Which provides every Schurz student with a solid foundation for advanced scientiflc fields. jd jf a Wee! 0r jfower, gutterff 0r peat? BIOLOGY e- the study of plants and animals. How dull it sounds, but how fascinating it really is! In the early fall the students collect and mount weeds gathered on various held trips. They study not only the characteristics of weeds but how to control them. From weeds they go on to the study of insects and how important they are to man and t0 the existence of this world. Butterfiies, beetles, bugs of all sorts are examined and dissected to learn what makes them tttick. A new world unseen by the naked eye is Opened through the lens of a microscope. Here the students view for the first time a world of strange, queer shapes.

Graphs and hgures, lines and angles, have always been an important study, but the war has placed new emphasis on higher mathematics. In the service, in aeronautics, in war indus- tries, a knowledge of mathematics is indispensable. Algebra explains the relations of numbers by signs and symbols. Geometry deals with the relations of surfaces, lines, and angles. Trigonometry, the study of the relations holding among the sides and angles of triangles, is invaluable in the field of aeronautics. In a war-torn world the sciences remain exact, essential, and none is more Vital than the science of mathematics. njon Way jAeg jZK 39 Sunny eJLlourd, WP. SfeloicAa Mr. Francis B. Slepicka will shake off the wood shavings and sawdust of Room 175 for the last time when school closes in June, but it really will not be good-bye, for Mr. Slepicka has become a part of Schurz, a part which we will never forget. Not only has Mr. Slepicka been active in our Tech department, but he has fre- quently been called upon to supplement the art department. By no means does Mr. Slepicka intend to retire into an inactive life, for he has purchased a ten-acre farm near Glen Ellyn where he will be able to garden and anticipate no food shortages. We now pay tribute to an honored friend and wish him the best that life can hold. This year more than ever before, our war industries are depending upon boys who have had training in our shops to help make and produce the vital materials which are needed so badly for 0111' war effort. Under the skillful guidance of Mr. Hanselman, Mr. Reischmann, Mr. Slepicka, and Mr. Sutherland, the boys in the work- shops are learning the fundamentals of woodworking. eye .Sfamify Card leeflwenafecl Power and efficiency is the demand of Mr. John Car Owner regardless of make.

We learn from the Bible that iron was produced and used at a very early date. Iron and steel play an important part in, and is one of, the major industries. The boys in the Schurz Forge Shop get a complete course in the forging and welding of iron and steel. Various operations require special heating. The student is required to learn the names, also the use of the tools and power-driven machinery in the shop. Tjgh 6004? Cuffem zgr eK h a 9? T0 the rhythmic beat of pounding hammers and grinding Chisels, rows of boys are working with a determined air. Occasionally a puzzled expresSion Hits across their faces. While we are standing puzzled also, wondering which of Schurz many shops we have entered, a boy smilingly explains that we are in the' Industrial Arts Shop. With the very helpful assistance of Mr. Drdla, who teaches the course, we notice the boys making different articles all connected with metal work. They skillfully fashion trays, paper knives, hammers, screw- drivers, or calipers to please both Mother and Dad. In this shop, they learn about Art Metal Work, and Sheet Metal Work; in Fundamentals of Shop, the boys touch upon most of the shop courses offered in school. Saw 5M tAe WacLined t.--..-....-.M I. Upon entering Machine Shop I the boys set about learning the fundamentals of the work and as they progress they make inside and outside calipers, depth gauges, hammers, and other small tools which Will be useful at home and in the shop. With this experience behind them the boys go into Machine Shop 11 where they start out with tapering exercises and after a little practice in getting themselves accustomed to operating their lathes, they begin to make tools similar to those made in the machine shops of industry. The Pattern Shop, under the direction of Mr. Sutherland, has made and continues to make patterns of tools which are molded in the Foundry and then sent to the Machine Shop to replace woi'n parts on the machines. One of the newest patterns that they are working on in the Pattern Shop is a hinge which enables a drill press to be converted into a lathe by changing it to a horizontal position. It is harmony and cooperation like this that makes us feel proud of our shop here at Schurz. ..55h oung WacAinidfd jail; or lAe $ture Our boys, under the direction of Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Clutterbuck, are taught the use of radial and high-speed drill presses, the operation of lathes, planets, shapers, and milling machines. The objec- tive of the machine shop is to give the boys exactly the same training they would receive if they were apprenticed machinists. The work itself is very practical and includes machine shop theory as well as a defmite study of blue prints and printed direc- tions. If a boy cannot read and translate his direc- tions into practical work, he has failed in machine shop practice. The boys, therefore, are not only being trained for machine shop but also for the army servide, which recently said that boys must be able to do correctly what they read. a56a lam tAe ma, 13W! Hmmmm, now that mold looks as though it is rammed up just right. To anyone Who has taken Foundry, these are familiar words. No matter what job we were doing, Mr. Mitchell was always there to help us. The type of work done in the foundry is called Green Sand Bench Molding , In the first few weeks, pupils learn how to ram up a mold. This means that they have learned how to pack up sand around any type of pattern 50 that molds can be made from them. Then they are allowed to pour ; that is, melt metal in a furnace and pour it into a waiting mold. Many of the boys have made bookends, sundials, Lincoln and Washington heads and many useful things. All enjoy the work and have felt that every minute spent in Foundry was time well spent. gaining the gfemenlfary .SZiKZS 0f SAolo In woodshop 2 the boys begin the use of the lathes for the boyst protection and safety while they are in connection with their cabinet making.

Yet this same machinery is vital to the efhcient operation of Schurz. Under the supervision of the chief engineer, Mr. N. Lies, this small plant circulates heat and water throughout the school. Here may be found the great electric switchboard, the central control of Schuris lighting system. Here, too, are the chlorinator, used artment Wnd jwarold of electricity, such as making motors and door chimes; later the theory of electricity and its appli- cation to the industrial world is studied. to purify the water in the swimming pool, and the various ventilators and motors which are so neces; saty to the maintenance of a large school.

Campaign speeches and advertising mark the days; for Seniors are important. Friendly rivalry is keen, and jokes, Wise cracking, and friendly banter, about Most Artistic, Most Musical, Most Popular, Best Dancer, Best Scholar, Most Athletic, Most Courteous, Most Attractive, Most Versatile, Friendliest, Wittiest, and Most Digniiied, flll all idle moments.

The final joyous evening of high school life, the Prom was a long-awaited and memorable occasion. The night of January twenty-hrst found the Michiana Shore Country Club echoing t0 the strains of one of our best orchestras and filled with laughing, dancing Seniors.

Through the whirl of senior elections, committees, and class activities, Mr. McAfee has been on hand to aid and guide the class of June, 1944. As coordinator of the 4A divisions, Mr. McAfee was a well-known figure in the assembly hall. His appear- ance on the stage, during division, was the signal for quiet. Conversation ceased, announcements and class business took the floor, until his familiar Class dismissed sounded. Director of senior activities, responsible for setting the various committees in motion, Mr. McAfee ably filled a difhcult position. He will be remembered by every senior, identified in the years to come with the bustle and excitement of senior division. e77e.

Edward L. Anderson and Edward Wood of Miss Wincherls Civics class have been awarded the Charles Palmer Davis Medals for prof1ciency in the study of Current Events. Last year, John Glasgow, Robert Shapiro, and Franz Schulz won these medals against the competition of three and one-half million high school students from all over the United States and are now attending college on the scholarship recom- mendation won by them at that time. Although nineteen medals are awarded each year by the American Education Press, this years ruling entitled our district to only two medals, and again Schurz has won them. Edward Anderson and Edward Wood also entered the contest for All High School Ameri- cals Town Meeting, sponsored by Our Times. Edward Anderson was the successful candidate to represent Schurz in Columbus on May fourth in the National Junior Town Meeting. Edward Wood was awarded a certificate of Honorable Mention in the Westinghouse Science Contest, also a national honor. Both of these boys expect to attend the University of Chicago next year, as the holders of these awards are given scholarship recommenda- tions by the respective agencies giving these tests. wlOS-e 424 goyd Gather zor lad :bayd 0f Eienoldlu'la ' l L .,,,, That last semester of high school life passes all too quickly. In the rush of activities, classmates often remain comparative strangers. The 4A Girls, Club was organized, therefore, to promote friendship, cooperation, and good times among the senior girls. Under the sponsorship of Miss Everist and Miss Keenan, the club has successfully combined social events with school service. The joint meeting with the 4A Boys' Club was entertained by the talented members of both groups. The joint dance, held later in the semester, was highly successful. Set- vice, however, plays an important role in the pro- gram of any club. This semester, the 4A Girls sold tickets to the P.T.A. sponsored book review by Dr. Preston Bradley. One of the semester high- lights was the Mothers and Daughters Tea, where a friendly get-together was held. President Lydia Steigerwaldt presided over the bi-weekly meetings, Elaine Jarosh was vice-president, Primrose Seehase took over the secretarial duties, and Doris Loome was entrusted with the funds. The efficient ser- geants-at-arms were Virginia Zygowicz and Ann Schell. The 4A Girls can look back upon a semester of fun and friendship and a happy page in their book of memory. The seniors are proud of those members of their class who answered the call to service, and, while regretting that they did not complete their high school training, honor them for their high purpose.

The officers elected by the group were Lennie Wahl, president; Bob Engh, secretary; Gene Kaiden, treasurer; Art Keller and Clyde Redman, sergeants-atearms. The 4A Boys' Club is one of the largest ' student organizations in the school, boasting of a membership of over eighty graduation hopefuls. Its major aims are a good time as 4Als and more social activities While still in school. Many of these aims have been realized and perhaps the remembrance of these moments will give respite later in the foxholes of the battlefields. e109e $7 Am MAGIC APART 3 PRES ENTIN G 1944 PERFORMANCE ALBUM PAGES tions. 3 ACTS; 1.

During the fall semester the club needed different chairmen for affairs, such as informal Date Night, a program chairman for regular meetings, and someone whose task it would be to keep Alphafs Efflciency Book. Having elected these oHicers, it followed a successful program of activity. The members worked hard on their hemmed handkerchiefs, completing one thousand, and sending them to the boys in the Armed Forces. They also pledged to contribute money to the Y.M.C.A., where all regular meetings are held. --128- .Syerued eonme ancl Sclwof in Zienclfg lavage? Picture 1: Standing, left to riglaI-R. Naidowski, J.

These words typify our Alpha Tri Hi-Y which is always ready to serve in socials or service projects. The first affair last spring that the new members attended was a Charming tea held in the social room. After this event came their long-awaited Formal Induction. Later Alpha gave a gay little Easter party for the Lydia Childrenis Home. They helped the Easter bunny make the season festive with brightly deco- rated eggs and candies. At regular meetings the girls worked on hospital shirts for service- men confined to hospital beds. These ordinary menis shirts, minus the stiff collars and cuffs, were contributed to different hospitals and no doubt brought comfort to these patients. Alphais joint meetings with Senn Tri Hi-Y and Hi-Y, Beta, and our own Schurz Hi-Y were delightful meetings on the spring calendar. h129e .Sgeruice, WrA anal pfay in Kata ji-M- y USY young ladies, but picture pretty!

They slaved over their slipper bags for the Lydia Children's Home, gathered together clothes and toys for Benton House, and fmished a social project for our superb Social Room. However, there were plenty of good times at joint meetings with Alpha and Hi-Y, the Backward Bounce, and Date Night. Pint picture, Jeated-Schwartz, M. Rzewska, B. Zimmerman, R.

On this evening, each girl offlcially became a regular member with privileges of holding office, attending club affairs, and acting on committees. Between joint meetings and socials, Beta had Friends' Night. Every member brought a friend and also all the 01d jewelry she possibly could. This jewelry was shipped to our boys overseas to trade with the natives. Service projects were making clothes for the tots in orphan homes, and remaking hospital shirts for our boys in hospitals. e131-e proAfemdl prozfemal WAD .Alad fAe .Andwer?

The Engineering Club bids its devoted sponsor a warm farewell upon his retirement from Carl Schurz. Mr. Willard has had the respect and admiration of every member of the club. He has guided us, as he has guided many others in the past forty-six years, toward high ideals, clear thinking, and industry. What we say here can never hope to approach what we feel deep down in our hearts. 80, in saying good-bye to this fine leader of bOys, the least we can do is to proclaim him Sponsor Emeritus of the Engineering Club of Carl Schurz High School. Good luck, Mr. Willard. Your infiuence will always be a strong factor in our lives, and we in turn Will try to impart those fine principles for which you stand to those who shall come after us.

Thirty-four years at the same desk, seventeen of which were given to extracurricular activities at Schurz, have been filled with opportunities, pleasures, and problems of our young people. In October, 1930, a new technique, or approach, to some of these problems was sought through the organization of C.S.E.C. by a group of forty boys that went 'tall out for action, following a twelve point program.

Stevenson, their sponsor, the boys in the Senior Hi-Y got off to a rip-roaring start by taking part in school drives, presenting socials, and in general being helpful to the war effort. Last semes- ter, the officers were Norman Blankenship, president; Bob Lagerquist, vice president; Bruce Herdrick, sec- retary; Don Cable, treasurer; and Bob StOut, sergeant-atearms. Every semester, Hi-Y Date Night, a closed dance, is held for the members. In the spring, the boys have a hayride party. At the meetings, the boys have movies and lectures throughout the year which deal with various educational subjects. Last semester the club collected money from the members and sent presents to the men in the service. At the end of every semester a dinner is held, but in the spring the boys usually hold a picnic. Every meeting is Opened with a prayer which the chaplain leads. Schurz is proud of the Hi-Y and hopes that they keep up the good work they have been doing. e136- guifcling ofeatlem .95 flte .xdim oz .5: urz .jvli-y Wiggle, wiggle, I'm a worm. Ah! Familiar words, these. When new members are taken into the Senior Hi-Y, one week is set aside during which the prospective members wear the traditional red ribbons and collect pennies. Throughout that week, the boyst characters are determined and the regular mem- bers fmd out if the worms are good sports. The pennies that the boys have collected are put into the club treasury to maintain the club's expenses. That traditional red ribbon you see the boys wearing signifles that they are worms. The purpose of the Senior Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The club meets every other Monday due to the crowded facilities at the Y.M.C.A., but they do try to have activities on nights that no regular meetings are scheduled to stimulate a more active interest in the club. Only Juniors and Seniors are allowed to join. Mostirnportant of all, the Senior Hi-Y has as one of its aims the secur- ing of potential leaders for its members. Row II--L. Olson, R. Olson. R.

Perhaps their biggest achievement was the display of Christmas crafts Which they made in Miss K. Schmidfs art class.

These manikins caught the eye of Miss Templeton of Sears, Roebuck 8: Co. and soon were placed in the stores window to herald the open- ing of the Campus Shop.

With Noah's Ark and all the animals arrived hand-made rag dolls, hand bags, tablecloths, plaques, pictures, paper dolls, carved candles, and all kinds of clever crafts made by the Sketch Club. But they did not stay there long; wise Chicagoans were eager to get them for delightful gifts.

In keeping With the patriotic spirit of 1944, the French Club has stressed activities to aid the war effortedrives for the sale of War Bonds and Stamps, for the contribution of cakes for the Service Men's Center, and for the making of scrap books for the Red Cross. Another club project was the knitting of squares by many individual members and the crocheting of these squares into a large afghan. Likewise individual were the gifts Which were wrapped in Christmas trimmings and sent to the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children. Treasured recognition of the clust efforts came in the form of a letter of thanks from the Shriners, Hospital and another, personally Signed, from the first lady of the city, Mrs. Edward J.

East, west, home is best, especially if that home is in Chicago. Tours Club members are busy finding that out. They have discovered that Chicago is a city of innumerable wonders. The club, sponsored by Miss Schaefer and Miss Stauder, and directed by President Jean Halvor- sen, Secretary Gloria Fischer, and Program Chairman Richard Czeslowski, aims to keep students informed of Chicagds greatness through many interesting trips. Four important tours a semes- ter help to make this a popular club. These trips have included a visit to a Television Studio, the Field Museum, Little Mexico With a Mexican dinner, Hull House, the Board of Trade, and the Indiana Sand Dunes. e148e $uclentd $I'lle-il MC OI ? a uer jAere ,, LefleMiss Halushka, R.

We've won that Red Cross Award again, and here,s how we did it. Under the dynamic direction of the chairman, Miss Halushka, and Miss C. Schmitt as assistant, our Red Cross Unit here at Schurz has collected games, playing cards, scrapbooks, dictionaries, puzzles, and many other articles requested by the Red Cross. But thafs not all; we did not stop there. Classes and clubs joined in the work. The commercial students knitted square afghans for infants, while the Domestic Science classes made comfort garments for soldiers and the Art department made menu covers, posters, dolls of wool yarn, and designed Christmas wrappings. There has been a rumor, just a rumor, that the members of certain swimming classes were fined one cent for every minute they were late. If this were true, it was all in a good cause; the money was given to the Red Cross. From many different sources, seventy-flve dollars was collected for the purchase of seventy-five Christmas boxes for refugees in all parts of North and South America. Yes, wetre pretty proud of our Unit here at Schurz. 3Ae Wife! of $ience lgeueafing jig Mjonolem The Young Scientist Club is a student group engaged in extra-curricular experiment and research in science.

With a member Chairman for each division of science, all branches are explored for their innermost secrets. -150e Variecl jch'uified in ScLurz Cfuhd EXPERIMENTAL CentereD. Wojciechowski, E.

In olden days a smell of sulphur at the hearth meant the presence of the Evil One; but today it probably means only that Junior is experimenting for the Experimenter Club. The club, whose sponsor is Miss Schaefer, publishes a magazine, The Experi- menter, which contains experiments, original articles, and digests of topics, such as, aviation, plastics, and meteorology. The word, Checkmate, pierces the silence and a low groan follows in its wake-the Schurz Chess and Checker Club is in action. The witty humor of Happy Harry Markowitz, president, and the quips and sallies of the members seem to sharpen their skill. Army strategy is overshadowed by the maneuvers on the board of the Chess and Checker Club. CHESS Upper picture, f0regmzmd-Fischer. Row IeG. Fischer, H. Marko- witz, J. Hamick, N. Curtin, D. Lipecki.

The .4, e Pi C a I1 i d m Americanism Club at Schurz, in planning its program for the Past year, has been mindful of this need. Several speakers have been invited, among them CZLA Miss Ethel Apenfels, an anthropologist from the University of Chicago. Her subject, Brotherhood or Chaos, was developed from the standpoint of science, or anthropology, in an interesting fashion. A number of movies, patriotic in theme, were received from Washington, and presented to the club. But probably the most important of their projects were the Armistice and Memorial Day assemblies. Always inspiring programs, the reading of the Schurz gold stars, this year, gave new solemnity. Under the leadership of their officers, and with the aid of their sponsors, Mr. Vernon and Miss Davidson, the club had several lively debates with the Engineering Club. The Americanism Club program has this year been patriotic in theme and in project. It has participated in the various war drives held at Schurz, 21nd altogether it has been a pleasant and prohtable year for all. AMERICANISM CLUB Shmdingelidwurd Anderson, Co-Presidcnt.

The members of this lively Mixed Chorus, under the direction of Miss Schweitzer, participate in our annual Spring Festivals and give great promise of future musical feats. Last semester the Chorus supplied music for some of our P.T.A. meetings and delighted them with Christmas songs. Splendid training is obtained here for later use in 8010 and Senior Choruses. Many pupils, who enjoy singing, substitute Mixed Chorus for Music 2; for chorus singing is stressed more than the study of the theory of music.

These were small-sized camels, dogs, horses and other animals made from gayly printed, plaid, or striped material stuffed With cotton. Another contribution, this time money, was given to the Red Cross and to our Social Room. The girls patriotically overcame two disappointments: their mem- bership pins could not be obtained and their dance had to be canceled. The Junior Girls, however, worked zealously to make the club one of which they could be proud. On May 5 they sponsored a Victory Book Hop. They collected 1700 books to be sent to service men. e168e jatefuf Wrcld: iiofate jgain ,, ATTENDANCE CLERKS Upper, Row I-J. Willand, K. Matchez, K. Ninios, V. Most, B. Cramer. Row II-L. Cooper, D.

Midyear graduation was felt heavily since Captain Jerry Hutchinson and Dick Hansen were the leading hBulldog scorers when they left. By defeating the hitherto unbeaten Waller flve, Schurz scored the biggest upset of the entire season and assured itself of a play-off berth. Others who stood out during the season were Eddie Earle, who captained the squad after graduation, Ken Christoffersen, Howie Katz, who was high point man for a single game with twenty markers, Bob Hutchin- son, and Art Blecke. ' In the championship play-offs, Schurz was eliminated by Wells on the latter's home court.

Probably the most unheralded heroes of the gridiron, cinder path and hardwood courts are the athletic man- agers. Few people realize how important these boys are to athletes and coaches alike. Their duties are many and important ones. They reach from handling our equipment to administering first aid to the injured. Coaches are known to have stated that a good manager is as benehcial to sports as an assistant coach. Led by Captain Ralph Dowling, who was undefeated throughout the season, the Bulldog cross-country team again proved its worth in Chicago sport cycles by placing second in the City Meet. Although Lane Tech captured the team title, Dowling carried away the individual honors. Other members of the Schurz squad who placed were Herb Batten, third; Len Adams, ninth; Tom Cara, flfteenth, and Walter Rasmussen, seventeenth. Coach Topping later pointed out that Lane registered the best score in history when they nosed out the Bulldog barriers, whose team score was low enough to Win during the average season. Gondela, Dulko, Fromet, Ernst, Shambaugh, and Hallengren were others who ran in the City Meet, with the latter placing fifth in the novice division. -183- Cinclermen J4 ain leafed lAe gas! in CAicago The Schurz junior track team was hampered by lack of practice throughout the season and did not fare as well as the senior squad. The team had to practice during the second period three times a week because late pro- grams for freshmen and sophomores prevented these trackmen from working out in the afternoon. Because there were no returning lettermen from last years squad, this seasons standouts are all newcomers. With Ronald Ziemek, Gene Galinski, and Donald Mason in the sprints; Albert Swienton in the high jump; and Merle Jones in the 660-yard run, the Bulldogs made a fine showing in the Annual Oak Park Relays.

The Bulldog senior track team was undoubtedly the most disappointed squad of trackmen in Chicago when it was announced that there w0uld be no Indoor City Meet. This was due to the fact that Coach George Toppings senior team defeated the University of Chi- cago High School 72 to 12, Crane Tech 68 to 25, Harrison Tech 67 to 14, Lane Tech 53 to 42 and made a better showing in the Oak Park Relays than any other Chicago school when they came in fourth with 25 points, 13 points more than the next Chicago school. The Schurz relay team of Erickson, Miller, Keller, and Cara also won the special prep relay at the Chicago Stadium before 14,000 people. Two school records were broken and another one was tied in the iiBuildogs, first meet of the season. Norm Wilson covered the 60-yard hurdles in 7.8 sec- onds, and Co-Captain Tom Cara cracked the indoor 440-yard record when he streaked across the finish line in 52.6. Giles Godfrey tied the old mark in the 60-yard dash when he broke the tape in 6.5 seconds. Led by Co-Captains Lennie Wahl and Tom Cara, the Schurz track team is looking forward to winning the Chicago Teachers Relays for the fifth time in a row, as well as the Outdoor City Championship which they won last year by an overwhelming margin. Other outstanding trackmen on this years squad were Bartew, Adams, Christofferson, Ostromencki, Lally, Nowicki, and Smith. e184- $Ka6A5ng On to Metory SImzding-Coach Harz, D.

The City Meet, the big splash in Chicago high school swimming circles yielded only three places to our swimmers. Bob Caruso carried away fourth place honors in the diving event, and the relay team of Bob Engh, Joe Levar, Don Stonesifer, and Alex Busch, placed fourth. John Barriage, a junior, captured fifth place in the 220-yard crawl. George Jorgensen and Alex Busch led the Junior and Senior teams respectively in the spring meets, which saw Schurz walk away with a first in the four- man relay. With only Captain Vahn Pedian and Walter Rasmussen returning from last yeafs baseball team, the outlook for a Schurz section title is not too bright. Although the squad of Pedian, Rasmussen, Blecke, Spannenberg, Appliger, Brevick, Overland, May, Sepke, Stuart, Schmid, Domain, and Leaser lost the Bulldogs' first two league games, Coach Eugene Nowak is not particularly wor- ried about the team's showing. He has stressed the fact that this is a young andipexperienced team, and that he Will be able to develop these boys for the next two years.

These groups are a team, determined to study and drill together to obtain a high rating for our school regiment. Competition exisfs between companies . and the commanders with their cadets work hard to develop a well trained and disciplined organiza- tion. Each week an inspection is taken at Which merits are given for neatness in appearance and a good knowledge of military subjects taught to the cadets. A'few weeks before our Federal Inspec- tion, which is held anmially, results are computed and the outstanding group is honored by matching as Company A in the inspection with the other companies in their respective positions. From each period, the outstanding cadets are designated to compete for medals and the successful ones are awarded their honors at the inspection. It is an inspiring sight to see the cadets marching along, each proud of one another, and trying hard to do their best. When their objectives are satisfactorily accomplished the company is an efficient body of disciplined cadets, trained in subjects of a military nature, and ready, and willing to represent Schurz with honor in any competition.

It is due to his efforts that the schools R.O.T.C. has always produced a fine record in riHe meets, at the annual Federal Inspection, and Picked Platoon competitions. The cadets appreciate this training which is of benefit to those entering the service of their country. Top pirtureeSgt. C. Beck. Row I-Capt. W. Froelich, D. Lutzow, C. Mortensen, R. Gazella, R.

This year, Schurz RiHe Team was coached by Sergeant Uber, and assisted by Cadet Captain Ted Radamaker, team captain and rifle team member for the past six semesters. Although our squad was composed almost entirely of new men, we were able to win second place in the City and Sixth Service Command matches. Bottom right, fmrzt-Frerk, Rademuker.

Any cadet who has good grades and is interested in riHe marksmanship is wel- come to try out for the riHe team. If he qualifies as a candidate, he is required to practice after school until he becomes an expert shot in prone, sitting, kneel- ing, and standing positions. Of all the cadets who tried out for the team, the following have qualified: Allen, Barth, Battling, Blomgren, Cantrell, Frerk, Herlin, Hintz, Janislowski, Jolly, Lagerquist, Maina, Maruniak, OiDonnell, Peterson, Radamaker, Richardson, and Wingfield. The highest ten men picked to represent Schurz in the annual matches placed in the following order: Radamaker, Lagerquist, Jolly, Allen, Richardson, OiDonnell, Battling, Cantrell, Hintz, and Barth. The ten marksmen did very well, making a total of 3572 points out of a possible 4000 points. Schurz has good material to build a team that we hope will capture first place next season. h194h Our gradd .jvlatd anal Sagerd, tLe leached 2 ibmam Upper picture -- Mergatroyd, Yeager, Sgt.

The thcers, Club unites them into one highly organized body that works for the success of the R.O.T.C. The officers act as military instructors under the guid-V ance of the unit commander. Lessons in marksmanship, discipline, map reading and other military matters, all fall in their line of duty. They are the heart of the organization, giving it life and effectiveness. e195- jamify preparatiorw for ' Lille Wifitaly gaffe. Our Student Officersethe fellows With the ovals on their shoulders and their sabers shining bright! To every cadet the ofhcer is an important person. He is the fellow with the black belt, shiny saber, and brass Whistle. When the cadets snap to attention, it is be- cause of his command. His responsibilities are to instruct his group in obtaining the military posture and a thorough understand- ing of how to shoot a riHe, when to salute, and other material from the manual that the colonel requires. But his tasks are not all work, because there is plenty of time for play. With the able instruction from Mrs. Redheld the othcers learn the finer points to be observed in social activities at their military ball. Mrs. Redheld. P. Rohde, R. Yanke; C. Thomp- son, R.

Each cadet of previous R.O.T.C. experience is fitted with a GI. uniform and is ready for any military affair. When the regiment is completely uniformed, regular weekly inspections are held at Which the regi- mental commander inspects each indi- vidual cadet for his neatness in appear- ance and a knowledge of the military subjects instructed by the student officers. At the end of each semester, our Execu- tive Staff consisting of the Colonel and the Majors plan the well known Bull- dog Hop. With the assistance of Mr. Roncoli and the military instructor, Sgt. Gilbert, the student officers are given e definite tasks to accomplish. Upon their shoulders rests the responsibility for an enjoyable evening with the best in music and ballroom dancing.
