G1 a.z,,81e.c'.Z TE v ,.?' EDICATIUN As in the years that have gone before, l945 will bring the GREAT MOMENT to another generation of youthful citizens. Who. in cap and gown, will form the Commencement lines. To eager hands will come a diploma-a symbol of a contract fuliilled. Eyes will spar- kle with anticipation: sighs of relief will smooth into glowing smiles-primed with the real- ization that in the brief passing of the hour, each changes his status from student to alumnus. A like pattern has been followed throughout the years-never changing except for the characters, the time, the place. But always there is the same emotional overflowing, the par- donable pride, the unbounded joy, the unrestrained happiness. It is the heritage of youth-our American youth. Under parental direction and by de- cree ofa majority, every boy and girl has been provided the opportunity of an education-to develop and grow according to his talents. There have been no imposed inhibitions, no require- ments to hold to fascist dogmas. By the experience of time, that training has been tuned to implant democratic responsibilities-as a free people, not as slaves led by selfish, inflexible theories. ' It is the same everywhere throughout the land. American youth can look up into a clear sky with a free spirit. He can whistle a tune and laugh whenever he feels like it. He need not bow to a totalitarian power, or worship at a dictator's shrine. 4 The Maroon It is our right-an American right. We have a name for it-FREEDOM. lt has come down to us as a privilege, fashioned from the tears and laughter and struggles of a valiant band that set the course of their seventeenth century sailboats toward the West, lt was nurtured by the wind that blew across pioneer faces there on the deserted Plymouth shore. Planted deep into the hearts, it flourished on privation and hardship. Those patriots knew the full force of its meaning: their voices caught it up, making the mountains and fields echo with the very power of it. They molded it into a cast iron bell and hung it in Philadelphia: they sang it in anthems: they Watched it grow in wheat fields and forests. It sprang into full bloom at Valley Forge. Like quick silver it has spread unchecked over rural acres and sky-scrapered streets, alloy- ing into the blood of those in workshop or laboratory, the home and pulpit. It has become a part of every life, equalizing the high and the low to a common level. There have been changes-countless changes in the environments that have been shaped with the passing of time. But not once has the luster tarnished. The system of public education is but a single manifestation. It would, indeed. be a far cry to bring the curriculum and customs of the past into the present day Champaign high school. Fundamentals of reading and writing of a half century ago-a quarter century even- would be woefully inadequate on present day standards. Yet the same basic forces-the pool- ing of costs and the demand for equality for each creed or sex, has been untouched. And the same spirit, the upsurging in the breasts of youth sends them forth to the bat- tle front, ready to give their all to keep Freedom alive. During the past three years, we have seen them go. We have watched the blue stars change to gold, always with the feeling of re- gret, yet knowing full well that it is a part of a democratic pattern and our emotions should be tempered with pride. They would have it so. - We are a part of that ideal because we have breathed it every moment of our lives. To us, of the current day, it is an accepted privilege that may be found on every sunlit street throughout America, in our children's play, through the sound of the church bell, and in the right to stand up in an assembly and say the truth as we know it. That is the spirit of the school. the essence of the diploma that will be given to the capped and gowned youth on graduation day. lt has been so throughout the history of our nationg it will be so in the years of the future. And to that spirit. the ideal of equal opportunity to one and all, we, the staff, dedicate the 1945 Maroon.

Students must work and teachers must weep through such emergencies: inspirations falter and routines fail but some good is bound to come out of the overall adventure. Time alone can give the true perspective-and as pseudo historians it is our sole purpose to record only a few of those events which. for the moment, appeared important in the daily life at Champaign Senior High. As with all things, true or false, the term had a beginning-in this instance on Septem- ber 6 for the students, although the teachers started one day earlier. That first day wasn't too bad-as it turned out-with all classes reduced to half measure and the day ending at noon. It was a boisterous, good natured sort of a day-meeting with old friends and classmates, and, to be sure, expressing the proper concern for the incoming sophomores. On that Hrst day, registrations showed 750 were entered - the smallest number on opening day for a number of years, The armed forces had reduced the ranks of the upper classes, several of the seventeen years old lads signing up for the navy: there were also the usual number of the older boys and girls who had previously registered but who at the last minute had changed their minds in favor of carrying on jobs. There were a number of newcomers, a later check showing that students from California, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri had entered senior high, and of course, dozens of other high schools from various sections of the state were represented. Among the teachers. several friends of past years were missing. Mrs. Amy Turrell who had taught the parents of the present generation at senior high and who had retired at the end of the past year, and Miss Elaine Ingstrom, teacher of commercial subjects who at the last mo- ment elected to remain at her home in Marseilles. In the shops. Mr. Homer Dremann, popular instructor of auto mechanics, was not among those reporting on the opening day. Neither was Miss Grace Wilson. only woman teacher on the industrial education faculty who had taught the architectural and mechanical drawing classes. Early in the summer, she had been granted a leave of absence and had enlisted in the WACs. Adjustments and shifts in the shop classes put substitutes in the places made vacant by Mr. Dremann and Miss Wilson, and similar shifts among the academic teachers made unnecessary the replacement of Mrs. Turrell. Instead, Mr. William Clark, who had been on leave for two The Maroon 9 With its face lifted and highly polished during the summer months, and new concrete steps replacing the old. the school build- ing awaits the coming of youth. years to serve as a lieutenant in the Army Air Forces, was back to take up the teaching of math- ematics and to relieve Miss LeSure who had filled in during the previous year. Although known to the members of the graduating class, both the sophomores and juniors were meeting Mr. Clark for the first time. And very quickly the students were hearing that he was one of the most intensely patriotic members of the faculty, that he had previously coached the CHS track teams, that he was a math star, and that he was one of the two CHS teachers who were born outside of the continental United States. His birthplace is England, while that of Mr. James Johnston is Scotland. Mrs. Jessica Clark, last year dean of girls at a Los Angeles, Calif., high school and who had accepted a position as commercial teacher here while at Urbana last summer to visit her mother, was meeting the local students for the first time. From the start, Mrs. Clark proved to be a most gracious and sympathetic teacher, and was immediately popular with the rank and nle of the student body. As had been the custom from time immemorial. every student was handed a transcript of classes at the first organized meeting, told to copy the same, and to attend at the hours indicated. Noted immediately was the change made in the daily calendar with the home room period coming at hour four. And it was at this period that the bulletins were passed out and the teachers pointed out changes that had been made. It quickly dawned on the students that the afternoon dismissal did not come until 3:55 p. m. To further impress this change, each stu- dent was handed a petition by which he could ask to be excused at the end of the ninth period if he so desired. Filling out of the petition implied that tardiness in all forms had been abolished and that it was considered highly illegal to be late to classes. As an outgrowth of this rule and to enforce attendance to all violators at the tenth hour, a special teacher-student board was formed. Meeting on alternate Thursday afternoons, stu- dents who had run afoul of the rule were given an opportunity to appear to plead their case. The plan worked exceedingly well, greatly reducing the number of tardinesses, and with only a minimum assignments made to the tenth hour class. Miss Opal Cunningham presided over the period. There was, of course, the usual howling by the boys and girls whose actions always brought them to the carpet, but the percentage of students involved in the tenth hour controversy was very small. As in the past years, the Bulletin stressed the non-eating of candy in the corridors and the wandering about through the building at the lunch hours. Many forgot these warnings in the weeks to come. But school was, by no means, a series of stringent rules with threats of disciplinary action from the oiice. And it carried on, geared to the chief business at hand-education. 10 The Maroon While there wasn't too much emphasis upon study the first day-and a certain amount of laxity and freedom was granted by the faculty in deference to the difficulty in making adjust- ment from the vacation to school days-it was quite evident that the faculty expected at least the normal amount of work from the student body. They said as much. About fifty per cent of the books that were to be used during the term, were provided by the board of education with the student entering into a contractural agreement to pay one-third of the cost per year. This was the first time in the history of the school that the plan Was tried out, and it met instant approval. The afternoon of the first day was 'Afree - as was the following Thursday and Friday with all of the teachers attending the annual county institute at the University. But on the following Monday, classes started in earnest, and to continue Without let-up until October 13 when the teachers were again called into institute session. By the time this institute date rolled around, the band had been organized and function- ing, and Mr. Riley and his musicians presented the musical program held as a part of the meet- ing. And as was to be expected, the instrumental sections were exceptionally well received. In the meantime, the sophomores had been well initiated into the mysteries of senior high school with special hazing masters directing the tortures of sitting on the fountain-with the water turned on in full blast-the barefoot march up and down the front steps, and the impromptu singing called for at unexpected times. The Maroon had been revived also, with the entire senior class promising to carry on the sales campaign necessary to determine the percentage of student support that could be counted upon. Pat Shoemaker had been named managing editor, Barbara Sands, business manager, and Joanne Bresee the advertising manager. Pauline Dolan, as editor-in-chief of all student publica- tions, was in charge. SENIORS: Barbara Sands, vice-president: Ruth Gorman, secretary: Pete Fletcher. president: and Nancy Holmes, treasurer. JUNIORS: Shirley Bash, vice-president: Jim Hall- beck, president: Dorothy Armstrong, secretary: and .lane Bowen. treasurer. SOPHOMORES: Margie Kemp, secretary: Dorothy Stinson, treasurer: Shirley Mcllvain, president: and Jeanne Bresee, vice-president. The Maroon 11 And to take advantage of the discounts offered for early copy. the entire staff slaved consistently to get as much of the book as possible ready for the printers by the Christmas vacation time. Their interests were di- vided between The Chronicle fwhich made its initial ap- pearance on the last Friday of September with Dorothy Armstrong, junior, as editor, Therese Lahey as business manager, and a full staff of other Workersj, a student di- rectory, a news service bu- reau, and a special program prepared for the Urbana game. The class elections were also held during late Septem- ber, with the Student Coun- cil - oflicered by Nlarietta Ripley. president: Dick Pater- son. vice-president: Florence Bechtol, treasurer, and Jo- anne Bresee. secretary-carry- ing on the necessary details of rallying the vote. Officers and advisers cho- sen by the classes were: Sen- iors, Pete Fletcher. president: Nancy Holmes. vice-presi- dent: Ruth Gorman, secre- tary, and Barbara Sands. treasurer. The class chose Mr. Shere as adviser, showing no disposition to change from the choice made when the class nrst entered as sopho- mores. Juniors named Jim Hall- beck for president: Jane Bowen, vice-president: Dor- othy Armstrong, secretary, and Shirley Bash as treasurer. Miss Beach was named as faculty sponsor. The sophomores elected Shirley Nlcllvain, president! Jeanne Bresee, vice-president: Margie Kemp, secretary, and Dorothy Stinson as treasurer. Mr. Bottenfield was chosen as faculty sponsor. Along with the classes and attendant student activities The Maroon during the first month and a half of school, there was no end to drilling to get out of the building in a hurry. Popularly known as ire drills-and with the chief of the city fire department actually coming down to the building to check on the time-the bell was sounded in the office at the most unexpected moments, sending everybody rushing pell-mell out of the building. Often the laggards held back although-luckily perhaps-everybody was on the alert on October 9 and the building was completely empty in 'Sl seconds. That entitled the school to retain the city building emptying championship for the year. Heading the complaint list during the first few weeks of school, the femmes of all three classes set a new pattern of crabbing. For the most part, their groans came from the aches and pains that were incurred in the very strenuous physical education exercises-with every girl in the school participating. With the classes extending to the end of the tenth hour-and no absences excused and all make-ups required before the end of the week -Miss Hosaeus and Mrs. Simpson kept the young women constantly in motion. showing no mercy in their driving. Coming on October 13, the teacher institute allowed the student body an opportunity to prepare for the Homecoming activities, scheduled to be held immediately following the game with Danville and with the Student Council in charge. The game itself was heart-breaking-the Maroons losing, 7 to 6, after downing St. Bede -unbeaten for Z8 games-on the previous week, and scalping Mt. Vernon two weeks earlier. To a very large extent, it was a matter of the breaks that gave Danville the edge, and similar hard luck was the consistent lot of the footballers throughout the remainder of the season. The last game alone, that with Urbana, saw the score on the right sideof the bulletin board. But Danville turned out enmasse to attend the Homecoming party held at the senior high corridors, and with dozens of alumni back, the dance was voted one of the very best in recent years. And the Councils treasury was swelled by the returns. The Council did not sponsor a second dance until December 15 when the all-school party was held at the junior high school gymnasium. Again. Mendel Riley's social hour orchestra was on hand. and a happy crowd of fun-makers thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. Within another week. all classes would be dismissed for the annual Christmas holiday- December 22 to January 3-winter had come with a heavy covering of snow, three special as- semblies had been scheduled to entertain during the coming week, and everyone was in the happiest kind of a mood. - True, some of the boys and girls had made up their work in advance so that they might work in the stores and shops duringthe Christmas shopping rush, and ten of the stronger lads had signed up to help the mailmen during the rush season. But there was much merrymaking, and with Christmas at hand, theendiof the first semester is within speaking distance. Of course, by the time of the-Qiafisrmas dance, school routine had been well established, and folks had become well acquaintedf Everyone knew the who's who in the twosomes. pic- tures for the purse folios had been traded, and of course, everyone had occasion to laugh at each other's adventures. Certainly prominent in the list of jokes of the season came with the misadventures of a group of seniors at Halloween time. Headed by Pete Fletcher. Stan Burke, Dick Kelly, and l The Maroon 13 v l Jim Cottrell, and accompanied by a number of kindred spirits from the girls' section, they formed a fence wrecking crew with the Shmikler fence pickets as the goal for devilment. Caught in the act-with Joanne Bresee carried off to the police station to do considerable explaining, the younglmen gladly assumed the role of fence re-builders to appease the urgings of the city officers: ,A number of other students had likewise encountered the blue coats at various times, with Ernie' Wright. Robert Jones, and Dale Cioodling paying speeding fines for operating their mo- torcycles at a high rate of speed. The'Student Council had entertained representatives from member schools at a district council conference, with Dick Hurst, outgoing president, carrying the burden in providing the program. '- e ' The cheer leaders made up of Ruby Zimdars, Pat Kenney, Jean Bruder, Maxine Medlock, Marvine Bell and Virginia Luscaleet--later replaced by Norma Nugent-had very ably dem- onstrated. their ability to arouse the students to top heights in supporting the team. And they were largely 'responsible in making the snake dances thetalk of the town. ' .At the bonfire-held on the evening of' November 2 and immediately preceding the origi- nal date ofthe Champaign-Urbana game-the cheer leaders had the team supporters at fever pitch, Had the game been played on the following evening. spirit alone would have carried the boys through to 'a topheavy score. s Butlthe rain,tcoming in torrents, caused a postponement of the game until November 16. chilling the Student Council ambitions to sell thousands of 'mums to the fans, the publication classes from putting out the Iirst game program, forcing the bandsmen in further rehearsals. and of course, obliging the victory 'hungry Maroon fans to sit in the biting cold to see the team win by a score of 13 to 0. To be sure, the Maroons were the superior team, and certainly deserved to win. And there are no complaints. The one victory - the slimmest in Maroon Big Twelve history - made amends for all misfortunes earlrer in the fall. The country had elected a President, passing on that honor to Franklin D. Roosevelt for the fourth consecutive term, and between the original date of the Urbana game and the time played in postponement, report cards had been tallied and passed out to the student body, the Thanksgiving holidays were just around the corner, and as another highlight of the month, the dramatic section was ready ,to present the fall play on the 17th. The students themselves, did not decide between Roosevelt and Dewey at the polls, al- though the sample balloting at the school showed strongly the national trend to retain the Pres- ident for another term., p Ten. of the studentswiththree members of the faculty did, however, have a most active part in tallying the local votes.-'Forming an election bureau. Ann Withers. Pat Shoemaker, Alma Miller, Doris Kaufman- Florence Lee, Jay Meyers, Art Blanchard, Freeman Wills, Harry 14. The Maroon Williams, and Dick Hurst, with Mr. McBride, Mr. Fu- qua and Mr. Shere, the group worked throughout the night at the News-Gazette office. The following day was a bit trying for classwork but all survived. They drew the praise of the editorial staff of the newspaper and were com- plimented as the most out- standing bureau to carry on this task since World War l. Usually, the special workers are supplied by the Univer- sity of Illinois from the jour- nalism classes, rather than the high school. The report cards, coming at the end of the semester, brought both joy and grief to the students. Some of the courses actually proved to be tough, and some of the teach- ers-regarded as soft touches by a few of the non-workers -were not too generous. The honor roll post-ed in- cluded the following names, the majority retaining the same standing throughout the year: Individual students on the honor roll for the quarter were: Senior: 5 point: Patri- cia Brown, John Flesher, Pete Fletcher, Robert Hansen, Nancy Holmes, Barbara Jolly, Charlotte Keck.

While it has long been regarded as axiomatic that the fall play presented by Wig and Paint would bring down the house, Best Foot Forward given on November 17 certainly captivated the crowd that filled the CHSauditorium to overflowing. The play-popular on the big time circuit and regarded as one of the best movies of the year when done by Hollywood-was packed with wisecracks, situations and complications that lived up to Walter Winchell's summary of being a honey for your money. Best Foot Forward was based upon the annual school dance at Winsocki Boys' School, replete with many intricate situations including one of a boy having two dates, and a love scene between the movie star, Gayle Joy, and one of the school professors. The play initiated several new faces to the CHS stage, four of these being transfer students from other schools. They were Bill Harkins, transfer from 'Texas who gave a magnificent per- formance of the girl-shy Hunk: the fussy Doctor Reeber, portrayed by Ed Bevans, transfer from Onarga military school: Maxine Medlock from Seymour who very capably played the part of Miss Delaware Watergap, and Gayle Joy, the beautiful actress played by Rose Marie Holmes who hails from Herrin. The Maroon 17 Barbara Patterson, in her usual typical manner, added ample sarcasm to the production as the blind date. Others in the cast were Bill Paul who played the part of the shingle infested Dutch: the all-round pal-although slightly on the dull side-played by Chuck Condon: the runt of the group who was always excited and nosey-and the unlucky holder of the blind date -Warwick Brown. - Warwick appeared for the first time on the stage in this play, taking the part of Chuck, and was a delightful surprise. Harvey Hunt portrayed the spirited old grad, while Suzanne White took the part of the dumb blonde. Joanne Becker had the role of the tall and beautiful Ethel, Kenneth Johnson took the part of Bud Hooper. Bertram Wagner the role of hard-boiled manager of the actress, Keith Knott was Chester, Jean Potter played the role of Helen, and Jean Karva portrayed the chaperone. Although Wig and Paint had no further performances scheduled until the Spring play set for April 27, a number of special casts were called upon for performances at Christmas time. entertaining a much delighted audience at the annual pre-holiday assembly, as well as present- ing several programs to strictly community groups. The same organization was likewise responsible for presenting stunt shows in both Janu- ary and February, and was due for a major role in the opera set for May ll. Classes resumed after the Christmas vacation on Wednesday, January 3, with the weather- man acting up and offering chilly blasts in abundance to make life more difficult. It was but a short time until the students were back in the groove-- and while more than a little excited about basketball and the prospects of taking that state crown - for the most part, faculty warnings that examinations were just ahead had a sobering effect. And well they might-for the semester examinations, starting January 25 and ending three days later, were something not soon to be forgotten. The one bright spot of the season came on the evening of January 27 when the Baton and Treble Clef clubs combined to stage the traditional Vice Versa dance. Although the la femmes again did the squiring, complete from corsages to cab, the clubs bowed to popular ap- peal for a strictly formal dance. As such, it rated supreme. The start of the second semester on January 29 brought one new teacher to the faculty. Mr. Shere, for the past four years in charge of the newswriting classes and sponsor of the pub- lications, tendering his resignation because of health. Plans were announced as indefinite al- though he accepted part time employment at the News-Gazette, planning to leave in early summer for the west coast. The semester was but one day old when again the report cards were distrib- uted, giving the results of the previously held examinations, and permitting a few of the probation seniors to move up to full fledged standing with the possibility of graduation. For the remainder of the quarter. bas- ketball continued to be the all-consuming topic with every student solidly behind the team. With classes dismissed for Lincoln's birthday as a brief relapse from class room 13 The Maroon chores, there was little out of the ordinary to characterize the remainder of the quarter. School, of course, had become very much on the beam with the Weekly hops held on the Friday recreation hour and the boys and gals making the most of the opportunities of- fered for relaxation. The Club Coed-the high school youth's special part of the Mc- Kinley Y, M. C. A.-and the Hi-Y Club, reorganized and functioning as a socializing unit, both contributed a share in making out- of-school life pleasant. And these, with the other provisions for relaxation. kept everything on an even keel until the Easter vacation rolled around on March 29 with all classes dismissed until April 3. A warm sun-hidden so long by the drab winter-returned to add to the pleasantness of school days, and it was with a great deal of enthusiasm that the gym classes returned to the open for play on the outdoor grounds. Touch football immediately became a popular sport, superseding basketball and wrestling-which, in spite of records of out- standing seasons, had become threadbare to both the participants and spectators. Coaches of these sports, along with the directors of the girls' Htness programs, found the change an opportunity to try out candi- dates for baseball, although again, as in past seasons, the lack of competition from nearby schools made it impractical to organize for league play. By early April, the dramatists were again busy with rehearsals with the determination to make the spring play, scheduled for April 27, an outstanding event in the school calendar. Most of the cast chosen for the play, as well as the director, had been exceedingly busy during the preceding month when, as district winner in the l944 speech contest, the school was host to the contestants. With interest at top point, and under the direction and training of Miss Stuart. taking high hon- ors was a foregone conclusion, with no one doubting the final decisions made by the judges. It was the unanimous opinion that Barbara Patterson should continue in this particular field. But the dramatists were by no means alone in hanging out the busy sign at re- hearsal time. Both choirs under the direction of Miss Harland and the Troubadours with Miss Rose as leader, turned special attention to practice for the annual opera scheduled for May ll. And there was every reason to believe that the opera would excel the performance of the The Maroon previous year when this type of entertain- ment wasloffered at the senior high school for the first time in many years. Much of the credit for the return of vocal music to favor at the senior high school must be given to Miss Rose and Miss Harland, and the two special singing groups-the Trouba- dors for boys and the Vocalettes made up of girls-did offer a very fine addition to the entertainment offered by high school youth. The vocalists, however well they pleased. did not by any means monopolize the enter- 19 tainment offered by the high school musicians. The bandsmen under the direction of Mr. Ri- ley and the string ensemble with Mrs. Lorraine Bayes as leader, likewise contributed a share. with the annual stage show and the May 4 music festival attracting attention as headliners. But the coming of shirt sleeve weather made school a bit trying and study was difficult to hold at a normal rate. Even at the shops where life moved along at a pleasantly agreeable pace, there were signs of restlessness. This was especially true of both the aircraft wood classes- the only course of its kind offered by any high school in the United States and where gliders were constructed for actual flying-and in the printing laboratories. It was quite evident that the instructors were watch- ing the warm and balmy sun with considerable anticipation. Both Mr. Applegate and Mr. Geist, together with Mr. McBride of the commercial department, Mr. Clark and Mr. Fuqua. mathematics, frankly admitted the longing to get up into the air as quickly and as often as possible, All live had been dyed in the wool flying addicts, suggesting the modern trend that was engulling their interests along with teaching. l The shops, despite the irreplaceable loss of Mr. Homer Dremann who did not return to senior high this year, were able to report better than average progress in work throughout the , ,, l year. There had been a bit of shuffling necessary-with three of the department members shar- ing the load-to absorb the architectural and mechanical drawing classes taught by Miss Grace Wilson who is on leave of absence to serve in the WACS. And short supplies in some of the critical materials had made it necessary to place new emphasis upon other features of the wood and electrical courses. But by and large, the department carried on, meriting the approval of the state vocational department. Three members of the industrial education faculty, however, were responsible for no lit- tle scandal when, attending a national vocational conference at Philadelphia, they wandered into a restricted area and had photographed sections of a shipyard. Held by the FBI as possi- ble saboteurs, the trio was finally released and absolved of all suspicion. 20 The Maroon Although still ahead, the final days of May -climaxed with graduation for a group of haughty seniors. and the moving up of im- patient juniors and sophomores-will move ahead. And with May 28 rolling around, there'll be a chance to write a series of final examina- tions-the seniors excepted-and on June 1, there'll be report cards to be accepted and tucked away among the keepsakes. But it must be admitted that the diplomas that are to be passed out on the evening of May 25 are the keepsakes for which most of us are anxiously awaiting. End of the term, however, is only another milestone along the CHS pathway. True. the old seniors will be gone-many into the services, others to colleges and universities. But with the coming of another September, there'll be a new class of seniors who will look forward'to the year as the most eventful of their lives: there'll be another group who'l1 bear the distinction as juniors , and another crop of graduates from the Junior High School that will step into the ranks as Sophomores. Prospects are particularly bright for a fine football team to represent the school on the grid- iron, with Freddie Major, Jr., and James Cottrell back to form the nucleus: there'll be another lighting five, ready to carry on the scrap and make a strong bid once more for the state basket- ball crown. But three of our old teacher friends will not be listed on the faculty rolls. Mr. McBride, leaving midway of the second semester, has very definitely decided to continue to live in his home town of Miller City: Miss Lewis. popular and hardworking art teacher-whose friend- ly hand never failed in time of need-chose to return to the commercial field instead of the classroom: and Miss Rose has been persuaded to take up a homemaking career, with her new address as Cincinnati. These teachers will be missed by the 1946 seniors as well as by the sophomores who move up to be the juniors of next year, and the memories of their patience and kindly consid- eration will be treasured by all those who knew them in the classroom. But the coming and going of the teaching staff is much like that of the boys and girls who each year climb up one more round in the ladder-there'll always be new ones to take their place. And there The Maroon 21 Q will be the ever present opportunity for the newcomers to win the affections of the youth who make up the senior high population. As seniors who will say farewells in late May, the year in retrospect has many, many bright moments: they'll always remain as highlights in our memories. But it doesn't require too much skill as a prophet or the wisdom of a sage to make a long range prediction of what is in store for the next year. Happily, and most fortunate for the members of the new classes, we can forecast the end of the war in Europe, banishing the tension that has tenaciously hung over the heads of the present graduating class since their entry into the senior high school. And, we hope, the days of rationing will be at an end. We, as Americans, would vehemently deny the slightest lack of patriotism in doing our best to carry on during the war days but the dreams of peace and the return of dear ones seems almost too good to be true. We can foretell, again with sound reasoning and the logic of good judgment, that the Maroons will conquer the Tigers next fall on the football field, that the basketball team will wear the state crown, that Fred Major will produce a lion's share of the state champions in wrestling, and Harold Jester's tracksters will establish new records. We hope, too, that the newswriting classes will once more tackle the production of a yearbook, that the writing and publishing arts will go forward under the sympathetic guid- ance of an adviser who refuses to be balked by the inconveniences and discouragements that may look like mountains. And finally we hope that there will be no let-up in that constant striving for mastering the daily lessons and the following example established each year by the graduates in making Champaign Senior High School one of the outstanding schools in the state. And so, just as 1944-45 has been OUR big year in school, we leave the future to YOU of the next graduating class. Do with it as you may. .

Schowengerdt. and Mr. I. P. Turner. The Champaign public school system-oflicially known as district 71-is made up of ten elementary or grade schools, one junior and one senior high school. Founded prior to the Civil War by citizens of East Urbana fthe original name of present day Champaignj the system has grown from a typical one-room pioneer school in a rented building into a physical plant rep- resenting an investment of more than a million dollars. A superintendent, nineteen principals and supervisors, and one hundred and thirty-two teachers are employed to direct the instruc- tional program for 3.200 youngsters. The school system is administered by a Board of Education made up of seven elected offi- cials, each named for a term of three years and each serving without pay. Members during the school year 1944-45 were: president. D. L. Huxtable: secretary. Mrs. Ralph Kelley: members. Doctor W. E. Schowengerdt. Mr. Donald Vance, Doctor George Hunt, Mr. I. P. Turner, and Mrs. J. E. McGinty. Miss Carrie Busey, of the superintendents office, served as the clerk of the board. Regular sessions of the board are held on the first Thursday of each month, with special or called meetings when the demand arises. Although decisions on questions involving school operation are based upon a majority ac- tion of the entire board, responsibilities are shared through appointed committees. Chairmen of these committees named of the current school year were: physical education, Doctor Hunt: buildings and grounds, Doctor Schowengerdtg finance and auditing, Mr. Turner: instruction, Mrs. Kelleyg purchasing, Mr. Vanceg cafeteria, Mrs. McGinty. The Maroon 25 MELLUN UPERINTENDENT E. H. MELLON is well known throughout the state as an educator and administrator, as well as an out- standing leader in many educational organizations. At home he is regarded as the friend of students and faculty, and the back- bone of the Champaign school system. His extensive training, his great store of experience, a democratic attitude, and charm- ing personality all make for the well rounded, broad minded superintendent that he is. Now, a busier man than ever, he never forgets the primary objective of keeping the school course charted on an even keel toward a happier postwar life with well educated citizens. In school or out, he has amply demonstrated that unusual and rare ability of making all forces realize the value of education. ALLISUN OPMOST rating for the Champaign senior high school is due, in no small measure, to the efforts and foresight of Principal Carl W. Allison. Upon his shoulders rests the responsibility of weighing the natural tendencies of youth against the instru- ments of education to forge the outlook for the future. Quick to realize the need for special training for war serv- ice, the CHS principal was among the first administrators to adopt new courses in aeronautics and to start revamping the curriculum for more intensive training in mathematics. . Kindly and highly sensitive to the welfare of both students and faculty, he insists that there is no place for the intellectual slacker, and that each must make the best of benefits and privi- leges that are offered. FACULTY REEDOM is a heritage that forms the cornerstone of the American way of life. It is a priceless gift from a band of patriots who never Wavered in their search of an ideal. They found it in America. We of the present can accept that her- itage only if we understand and search for it. It becomes an inherited treasure if and when we know how to open the various doors behind which it is hidden. fWithout that knowledge, we are as im- prisoned as if the doors did not exist.j Each member of our faculty stands beside a door, ready to open it for those who desire the freedom which true knowledge brings. We know them as friends-they have proved it times without number. At the door which leads to knowl- edge over the avenue of English may be found Miss Nina Gresham, Miss Amy Beach, Miss Leola Harding. Miss Nelle Zehner, Miss Frances Weed, Miss Vera Kaden and Miss Marion Stuart. 28 EHAFFEE IRST to extend a helping hand to the in- coming student-and the invariable friend to one and all when knotty problems must be untwisted-Miss Eleanor Chaffee wears the undisputed crown of popularity when boys and girls express their innermost hearts. As vice-principal. she fills a difficult role. adjusting the individual class schedules. keeping the records. and serving as the sec- ond in command in maintaining school discipline. But with it all she never fails to counsel wisely and with understanding sympathy. She can never reckon in numbers the loads she has lightened or the inspiration she has so unstintedly given. SEERETARIES ECRETARIES and oflice summons slips are inti- mately connected, and for that reason. both Mr. Dillman and Miss Attebury are rather well known to many senior high students. Blessed with a sense of humor, they blend well with high school life. The Maroon Miss Gresham who serves as chairman of the department, has been a member of the teaching staff since 1920. She teaches English literature and advanced rhetoric. and is now engaged in working out an en- tirely new program based upon the litera- ture of the world. She attended the Uni- versity of Illinois Where she received A.B. and A.M. degrees. Miss Kaden is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Michigan, holding both an A.B. and an A.M. degree. In addition to teach- ing advanced rhetoric, and sophomore English, she is in charge of all student test- ing, and is regarded as an authority in pre- paring charts and graphs. She came to Miss Clelia Harland and Mrs. .Iessica Clark senior high in 1929. I-Ier principal hobby and recreation is riding. Miss Weed, teacher of rhetoric, gram- mar, American literature, and English N, is a graduate of Knox college with a B.S. degree. She received a master's degree at the University of Illinois after coming to CHS in 1927. Also arriving that year was Miss Harding who teaches sophomore English, and English literature. Miss Hard- ing, one of the -perennial chaperones and assistants at all school parties, is likewise a stalwart of the Business and Professional Women's club. She received a B.A. degree from Greenville college, doing advanced work at the University of Illinois to com- plete a master's. Miss Amy Beach not only teaches American Literature and grammar, but she is also active in school affairs, sponsoring , 1 Mr. Mendel Riley The Maroon Miss Vera Kaden.

She, too, holds an M.A. degree and a record of 27 years' service at CHS. Miss Nell Zehner, who teaches English N, is a graduate of the Eastern Illinois State Teachers' College, and the University of Illinois, holding both B. of Ed. and M.A. degrees. Although Miss Zehner has been with the senior high staff only since 1941, she has capably managed the Student Council during that time. Speech, dramatics, and English N courses are under the direction of Miss Stuart who, an alumna of senior high. received the degrees of Miss Bonnie Lewis and Miss Marion Stuart B.S. and M.S. at the University of Illinois. She came to CHS in 1934. In addition to sponsor- ing Wig and Paint, and the National Thespians troupe, she is a member of Zeta Phi Eta-na- tional women's speech organization, and Phi Epsilon Delta-honorary dramatics fraternity. The door to mathematics is unlocked by a quartet of teachers made up of Miss Opal Cun- ningham, Mr. William Clark, Mr. Clarence Fuqua, and Mr. Ralph McBride. Miss Cunningham became a member of the faculty in 1926 with plane geometry as a spe- cialty. She holds an A.B. degree earned at Colo- rado University, and a master's degree from the 29 Miss Nellie Bates, Mr. Glenn Tilbury. and Miss Edna Meadows University of Illinois. She is intensely interested in sports and is always found at the ticket booth of every home ath- letic event. In addition to teaching, Miss Cunningham presided over the tenth study hall during 1944-45 where stu- dents were obliged to spend make-up time for infraction of school rules. Mr. Clark is a graduate of Bradley college at Peoria, likewise holding a master's degree from the University of Illinois. He returned to senior high this year after a leave of absence to serve in the U. S. army. He teaches all algebra courses offered. as well as solid geom- etry and trigonometry. He came to CHS in 1927. Mr. Fuqua joined the CHS faculty in 1925, attending the University of Illinois to complete work for a master's degree While carrying on his work as a teacher. Intensely interested in flying, Miss Eleanor Cook, Miss Essie LeSure, Miss Beulah Swigart, and Miss Amy Beach 30 he teaches aeronautics as well as math- ematics N, business arithmetic, geom- etry. and trigonometry. Mr. McBride, a graduate of Southern Illinois Normal University, and is a member of the commercial staff as well as mathematics, holds a master's degree from the University of Illinois. He came to CHS in 1942 from Davis, Illi- nois, where he served as superintendent of schools. At the doors to knowledge in history, Miss Iva Still and Mr. E. O. Bottenfield preside. Both are outstanding authorities on United States history, and every student who attends CHS is enrolled in classes taught by one or the other of these two teachers before earning a diploma. Miss Mrs. Helen Stark and Miss Lucille Stansell Still is active in the local D. A. R. and a number of University of Illinois or- ganizations, in addition to the regular school Work. Mr. Bottenlield is a for- mer principal at the Sparta. Illinois, high school, and is active in church work as well as teaching. Two other teachers, Miss Helen Jenista and Mrs. Hulah Smith. make up the social studies department, the former in charge of the classes in sociology and world history. and the latter teaching economics and geography. At the door of languages. Miss El- eanor Cook is in charge of the French classes, Miss Essie LeSure teaching Latin, Miss Swigart, Spanish, and Miss Beach, German. Miss Cook is also a graduate of the senior high school, attending the Uni- versity of Illinois for advanced degrees The Maroon in the languages. Miss LeSure attended both the Uni- versities of Chicago and Illinois, and Miss Swigart holds the doctor of philosophy degree in Spanish. In Natural Sciences, Miss Nellie Bates, Mr, Glenn Tilbury, and Miss Edna Meadows have charge. Miss Bates, with both an A.B. and M.S. degree. teaches physics. In addition, she served her second year as head of the Champaign Teachers' Association and was active in directing student affairs. Mr. Til- bury is in charge of the chemistry classes, served on the disciplinary committee as well as active on teacher committees. Miss Meadows, a graduate of the Uni- versity of Illinois, presides over the classes in biology. Few know this subject equally as well and none sur- pass her in pupil popularity. At the home economics door, Mrs. Helen Stark and Miss Lucille Stansell direct the student's career in the field of foods, clothing, and homemaking. Mrs. Stark, who joined the CHS staif in 1922, is in charge of the foods classes, and Miss Stansell directs Miss Opal Cunningham, Mr. William Clark, and Mr. Clarence Fuqua the homemaking and clothing program. Miss Dorothy Munger, Miss Edith Hudnut, Mr. McBride, and Mrs. Jessica Clark comprise the commercial depart- ment, guiding the students over the road to a business career. Miss Munger, a graduate of the Uni- versity of Illinois, sponsors the Girl Reserves in addition to teaching typing. Mrs. Clark, a newcomer to CHS, for- merly served as dean of girls at a Los Angeles high school. Miss Hudnut di- rects the distributive occupation courses as well as business law and salesmanship. In the fine arts, Mr. Mendel Riley is director of instrumental music and band and orchestra. Miss Harriet Rose super- vises the vocal music, and Miss Clelia Harland directs the choir and vocal in- struction. Miss Bonnie Lewis, graduate The Maroon Miss Dorothy Munger, Mr. Ralph McBride, and Miss Edith Hudnut of Missouri University, and teacher of art and crafts, joined the faculty in 1943. Physical education instructors include Mr. Roy Swindell, swimming coach: Mr. Fred Major, wrestling coach and as- sistant football coach: Mr. Harry Combes, basketball coach, 'and Miss Marga Hosaeus. I Miss Hosaeus served for a time as lieutenant in the marine corps, rejoining the faculty to take charge of the girls' physical education program. In general charge and supervising the buildings and grounds is Mr. William Schultz with Mr. Ed Davis. engineer, Mrs. Harry Elkins, Mr. Ervin Crews, Mr. Wayne Diillman, Mr. Albert Patter- son, Mr. Kermit Reid, and Mrs. Lucille Smock making up the janitorial staff.

The physical plant and maintenance of the school buildings has been under the direction of W. E. Schultz, known as the best superintendent of buildings and grounds in the state. His capable engi- neering and janitorial staff has kept the buildings warm during the winter, and spic and span clean throughout the term.

Simon, Mr. Summerville has revised the program of study to make it nt with the demands of the present. INDUSTRIAL EDUEATIUN TEMMING from a single shop course that had been incorporated into the senior high school curriculum in 1899, the industrial education program now includes wood working, auto me- chanics, aircraft Wood working, aviation engines, metal crafts, electricity, printing, homemak- ing and architectural and engineering drawing. Carried on as an individual school function and administered as a department separate and distinct from the academic program, the curriculum offers broad training in the special fields of crafts and industry. By actual try-out and experience, the student - with exploratory courses in each of the separate fields required during the junior high school years-determines his special interests and chooses further studies as electives. Set up on the cultural level, credits are readily accepted as meeting college entrance re- quirements. Industrial Education Building of the Future S M 6 ' xg ,iff -k-,,, - l I XX .xg r g xg' H xe+ he - U eng 1:1 UrniEiii Ei gri' The Maroon 33 High school isn't altogether a matter of text books and theories: at least one depart- ment is concerned with the acquisition of skills in which youth must master through study and application. And for the non-college or student plan- ning to enter the industrial field following high school graduation, a special faculty has been set up in the high school system. Although holding his classes in the old high school building-now shared with the USOhMr. Tweed Littler is one of the top ranking members of this particular group. With a fully equipped machine shop as his special domain, he directs the industrial and vocational courses in machine operation. His record has a most unique connection with the war effort, his graduates often cutting down the apprenticeship time required of the craftsman, and all may step into well-paying jobs when the course is completed. While their fields are widely separated, Mr. Russell Geist, printing and publication in- structor, and Mr. Burnell Applegate, wood- working crafts, follow the same hobby-fiy- 34 ing. Mr. Geist, a relatively newcomer to the faculty and the former owner of a nearby community newspaper, started his teaching career here in 1942. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois. Mr. Applegate. who teaches the only course in aircraft wood Working offered by a high school in the United States, is a graduate of Iowa State College, coming to Champaign in 1941. Mr. Johnston, the only Scot born member of the faculty and who is in charge of the electricity courses, formerly taught at the University of Illinois. Mr. Wallace Aber- nathie, University of Illinois graduate and former teacher at Cobden, joined the CHS staff in 1937. A builder at heart and teacher by choice, it is dillicult to talk with him for long without acquiring a bit of the building enthusiasm. Two members of the faculty who took up their work here this year are Mr. Millard Berry who, like Mr, Applegate, is a graduate of Iowa, and Mr. Harold Snidow, a graduate of Colorado State. Mr. Berry taught last year at Alton While Mr. Snidow was a member of the faculty at Charon, Nebraska. The Maroon jeg .135 ENIUP.

Before the end of the year, district number one had erected a public school building at the corner of Hill and Randolph streets, and patrons appropriately named it the Little Brick Schoolhouse. The second school in the district was built in 1868 at a location bounded by Lynn Street, University Avenue, and Park Street. For many years, this building was known as the West Side High School. The first school in district number two was built in 1866 at 411 East Clark Street. Destroyed by fire three years later, it was replaced by another frame structure in 1870. In 1872, work was started on the third building for the same site. this time of brick, which became known as the East Side High School. The reorganization of the school districts, merging numbers one and two into a single governing body, eliminated the possibility of rivalry between the East and West Side Schools. Accordingly, the West Side building became the Champaign High School, and was used as such until 1893 when the original Little Brick was burned and a new high school was erected. This high school served the district until 1913 when the present building was completed north of Green between State and Prairie Streets. At that time, the school system was organized on the basis of eight years for elementary education, and four years for high school, The new building, planned to accommodate 1,000 students, did not prove adequate to meet the demands of an ever-increasing enrollment, and in 1935 the system was changed to the six-three-three plan. This was made possible by the building of the pres- ent junior high school building. During the 1944-45 school year, 754 students were in actual attendance at CHS. The Maroon F Speech classes, dramatic organizations, and play producing units are all in the lime-light of the high school.

Miss Marion Stuart is the sponsor of these organizations: thus, she bears the responsibility of getting the idea of service, leadership, etc., The Maroon S across to the students. She has done a great job, and through this effort she has acquired many friends among the students of CHS. Through dramatics many people have found their real selves in the capacity of becoming leaders in other fields than dramatics. It might be said that it brought their tongues to life, by teaching them how to talk and make a good appearance before large groups of people. Wig and Paint also serves as a means for peo- ple to put themselves before audiences and help- ing students who have not class time to enroll in one of the regular dramatic courses. Thus, everyone has a chance to participate in the dra- matics field. 59 BEST FUUT FURWARD This year. Wig and Paint produced Best Foot Forward--one of the most delightful and modern plays that has been presented to a Champaign senior high school audience. It was based on the annual school dance at Winsocki Boys' School. A most interesting situation was provided by Bud Hooper's innocent invitation to two girls-one a lovely movie star and the other a hometown girl. Best Foot Forward initiated several new faces to the local stage. Four of these were trans- fer students from other schools: Bill Harkins from Texas who gave a fine performance in the part of girl-shy Hunk: the fussy professor, po:trayed by Ed Bcvans, formerly a student at Onarga: Maxine Medlock from Seymour, who was Miss Delaware Watergap, and Rose Marie Holmes from Herrin, who took the part of the glamorous movie star. Our top-notch local talent comprised the rest of the cast. Of these were Kenny Johnson who played the part of Bud Hooper, a quiet, good-natured fellow who caused most of the com- plications by asking two girls to the same dance. Bill Paul ably portrayed the part of the shin- gle infected Dutch, Bud's best friend. Satchel, an all-'round pal slightly on the dull side, was played by Chuck Condon. Cireenie. the unlucky possessor of the blind date, was War- wick Brown who appeared on the stage for the first time in his Wig and Paint career. Jim Hunt portrayed the spirited old grad who was , anxious to get Winsocki back into the lime- light. Suzanne White played the part of a beautiful but dumb blonde and was Hank's date. The tall and beautiful Ethel, who was Dutclfs date, was very well played by Jo- Anne Becker. Barbara Patterson gave a su- perb performance in the part of the blind date who added much sarcasm to the dialogue. The serious professor was played by Harold Rigncy while Bertram Wagner expertly han- dled the part of the manager. Keith Knott portrayed Chester the successful local newspa- per man. Bud's hometown girl, the quiet and pretty Helen, was played by Jean Potter. with Miss Smith's role taken by Jean Karva. l The Maroon 61 Mid-Winter Play- Mystery at the Old Fort You are in the interior of an old stone fort in northern New York. Although it has now been converted into a pleasant, comfortable living room, there are many legends circulating about the earlier days of the fort. This Was the setting of the play, Mystery at the Old Fort, which was presented for the Children's Theater Guild as the CHS mid-winter play. Putting their all into it, the cast was able to carry the audience through the mysterious and nerve-racking experience of catching a spy. They told the story of the Bishop family who stopped at the converted fort to visit an aunt, on their Way to Major Bishop. The son had a one-track mind on the subject of spies. Much to the surprise of all, a spy was found and later brought to justice. Individual student honors went to Tom Wilson, Alan Schrader, Bert Wagner, Keith Knott, Lois Scott, Barbara Patterson, Leonard Davis, Maxine Medlock, and Harold Rigney. Of course, without the direction of Miss Stuart and other faculty advisors from the art and busi- ness departments, as well as the students who worked on the different committees, this play would not have been a success. 62 ii The 'Maroon Spring Play- Stage Door The helter skelter life of actresses was portrayed in the play, Stage Door, which was chosen as the spring play for this year. In contrast to some of the others that have been given, this play gave many people a chance to prove their ability to act. p Stage Door was presented to the student body April 27, and met with great approval. Earlier in the spring a scene was given in the I.H.S.A. sectional speech meet, and it received place. In the west Hfties of New York City is located a boarding house for actresses. Stage Door told the life story of the actresses who occupied this house, their ups and downs, personal prob- lems, and other amusing incidents. There was one actress who seemed to be more important, however, who overcame her troubles only to be plunged headlong into more, After much ado she Bnally received a chance for her big part. All in all, the actors told their story earnestly. with enthusiasm. and genuine acting. The stage was artistically set with all the comforts of home, which helped greatly in trans- porting the audience from their seat to the place and time of the play. The Maroon 63 Stage Door The three-act play, Stage Door. gave thirty-two people a chance to make a contribution to its success. Usually the casts of plays given on our stage do not consist of so many, but with the cooperation of each one with the director, Miss Stuart. everything went well. Those who should receive honors for their part are Barbara Patterson. Bert Wagner. Joanne Becker, Keith Knott, Jane Nelson, Stan Brown, Mary Catherine Dempsey, Jim Hunt, Betty Thomas. Kenneth Johnson, Jeanne Potter. Charles Saxe, Patty Shannon, Alan Schra- der, Maxine Medlock, Tom Wilson and Charlotte Keck. Also are Harold Rigney, Robin Amsbary, Jean Johnston. Lois Scott, Margie Kemp, Reatha Hamburg. Warwick Brown, Lorna Kaiser, Frank Harris. Norma Nugent, Helen Ma- lott, Dianne Keith, Joyce Bresee, Cherry Dickinson, and Alice Hamelin. , The production of this play brought' to a very successful close another dramatics school year. 64. The Maroon S NX Following the tactics of an invading army, the CHS Publication department established new beach-heads during 1944-45. attempting to consolidate traditions on five separate fronts. Combining with the journalism classes to offer laboratory experience in both writing and publishing, the activity program was carried on directly under the supervision of Quill and Scroll, honorary journalism fra- ternity. As an innovation, a student directory was published, listing the names, class year, home rooms. addresses, and telephone numbers of every student, faculty and staff member. Many, many clock hours were spent in gath- ering the material, checking and copyreading with the result, a neat and compact reference book of real professional appearance. As a second innovation, Quill and Scroll produced and sold a souvenir program, de- signed exclusively for the annual Champaign- Urbana game, and picturing every senior member of the Maroon football squad. This program was modeled after those published for the Big Ten circuit. A third publication for the year is the l945 Maroon, published again after the lapse of a year, and with the efforts of numerous volunteers from the senior class. Efforts in this field speak for themselves. The fourth publication was The Chroni- cle, published again by the News-Gazette and with employes offering mari-sized service in teaching the secrets of the craft. No special efforts were focused on adding new features. The Maroon f The fifth beachhead-and an entirely new plan of offering experience to the beginning writer-was the CHS News Bureau with stu- dents furnishing news stories, articles and pictures to the local newspaper. The program was directed by Pauline Do- lan who served as editor-in-chief, assisted by Pat Shoemaker, Maroon editor: Dorothy Armstrong, Chronicle editor, and so on .... CHIEF PAULINE DOLAN 65 THE WORKSHOP Write 400 words on Thespiansf' H350 on Quill and Scroll, Caption the faculty, Prepare an assignment sheet for the next is- sue of The Chronicle, hand in five items for brief happenings, Take exercise 131 in the work-book, and on and on. The in- structions-varying but little except in con- tent-always carried a familiar note to staff or newswriting class, only the staffer or stu- dent genuinely interested, could enjoy the grind. But as a class period or staff session, an easy informality and the opportunity to match pace with individual inclination, made room 128 a pleasant workshop. Patterned after a typical news room, com- plete with rim. battered typewriters, diction- aries, and 5,000 clippings in a modern morgue, it was evident that every effort had been made to provide a true to life setting and a newspaper atmosphere. And instruction, based upon the theory of learning by do- ing, was carried on in the same fashion. Russ and Doc Figure 66 1 The Directory With a somewhat selfish motive that might be forgiven to some extent by service rendered to every student, the publication de- partment carried through the preparation and publishing of a 1944-45 Student Directory. The Directory was primarily a handbook for the news staff. The Prog rom Cooperating with the athletic department in adding a new service and color to the an- nual Champaign-Urbana football game, the newswriting classes prepared the copy for an eight-page program as a journalism project. Using the pictures of all senior squad mem- bers, coaches of both teams along with group pictures, the programs were financed through advertising and by sharing the costs in pre- paring the printing plates with the Maroon. These pictures, appearing in the football sec- tion, have therefore performed double service. The Bureau Branching out from writing school news for a strictly school audience, members of the journalism classes and Quill and Scroll or- ganized a news syndicate shortly after the opening of the term, supplying news tips, stories, and pictures to The News-Gazette. Although a spirit of competition prevailed with many types of news stories-and these saved strictly for The Chronicle-items of general interest were phoned in immediately to the city editor of the newspaper, who, if the stories were accepted, assigned a reporter or re-write man to take the call. Many times during the term, first inklings of CHS men in service were heard at school, and a com- plete servicemen's file in the Workshop usually supplied the essential background in- formation that was needed. The Maroon THE CHRONICLE ECAUSE the newspaper commodity is based upon the unusual and the bizarre and intended to startle or amaze the reader. staff members carried on their news gathering program with an effort to conceal their own excitement in publishing the weekly Chronicle. There was considerable Work in preparing the copy-literally hundreds of hours after school and well into the night-there was no end of drudgery in folding and redistributing the papers to the subscribers' lockers--there were frequent red faces when an irate reader took excep- tion to an error of fact for from a mistake that had crept in undetected by a proof readerj- there was sweat and blood and countless verbal battles over the selections made of prepared copy -BUT with it all, it was loads of fun. And who knows . . . some day . . . some staffer may be a big name editor. The struggles for 1944-45 Were, for the most part, under the direction of Dorothy Arm- strong. editor, and Therese Lahey, business manager. The Maroon DOROTHY ARMSTRONG THERESE LAI-IEY Managing Editor Business Manager Comptroller With the publications becoming Big Business and the involving of the handling of revenue from more than a dozen sources, Anna Withers was called upon to serve as Comptroller. As assistant to the athletic ticket department and thoroughly capable in auditing and bookkeeping. she experi- enced no difficulty in keeping the records up-to-the- minute and accurate in every detail. N J 68 The Maroon THE MAROON Some day, someone will write the True Story of The Maroon. That author-whoever he or she may be-will somehow find the words to de- scribe the heartaches, the long tedious hours, the back-breaking labor, the sweat and the blood, that go into the making of the book. And then. the owner will marvel that a group of fellow students could muster up the courage to carry on. He will know and understand why The Maroon has a soul- that the book was literally carved and hammered out of raw material that at best is highly intangible but which will always live. He, the owner, will no longer wonder why sponsors are stooped and gray long before their time, why staff members' tem- pers snap at the slightest provocation and their harried look is a permanent fixture. But until that day when the True Story is told, The Maroon will go on and on. And that is as it should be. New forces will take up the task, new enthusiasms will run high, new volunteers will sell the advertisements, different The Maroon fingers will tap out the copy, beginners will chase down the pictures, and new voices will beguile fellow students to buy. And buy, they must. For in addition to the pictures and the printed words, they buy a soul -the Spirit of the School. N. H. S. ACTION sHoTs 69 Managing Editor Staging a comeback after a year's absence -and with the full support of the senior class-the 1945 Maroon takes its place as volume XXXV in the series of yearbooks published by the Champaign senior high school. Advertising Director Weeks of fevered activity that grew into months of painstaking toil frequently added to the discouragement of the editor and co- workers, but in the end, the book was fin- ished. Under the direct supervision of Quill and Scroll, frequent calls were made for help from the entire student body, and always the response lived up to advance promises. Patricia Shoemaker served as editor, Bar- bara Sands as business manager, and Joanne Bresee as advertising director. Other members of the staff included John Lehmann, sports editor: Neal Newton and David Mellon, as- sistants: Barbara Baird, art: Louis Meyers, photographer: Therese Lahey, copy editor: Dorothy Armstrong, Joanne Becker, Ruth Munkvold, Joan Stinson, and Reatha Ham- burg, assistants. In addition, Margaret Hayes, John B. Cain. Betty Thomas, Leonard Da- vis, Mary Marsh, Gloria Newman, Alice Dee Chapman, Jean Temple, Helen June Krabbe, Jean Geisler, and others rendered valiant service in the advertising and patrons' section. Although there is a long list of highlights in the year's work of gathering the material for the book-principally during the first semester when a herculean effort was made to complete as much of the copy as possible- these are the treasured memories of the staff workers. But it is their earnest wish that you enjoy the book. Business Manager 70 The Maroon I . 0532 1 Instrumental Music Just as the beginner learns the ABCs in the primary grades, boys and girls who are enrolled in the instrumental music classes at senior high take their preliminary training in the elementary and junior high schools. And it would be a rare exception, rather than the rule, not to determine the membership well in advance of thc opening of the fall term. I IL Mendel Riley is in charge of the music training in all schools of the district, and is familiar with the talents of every boy and girl enrolled. He directs the summer courses open to all youngsters of the city, leads the in- strumental groups at both the junior and sen- ior high schools with Mrs. Lorraine Bayes. working with the beginners, as an assistant. The instrumental music program stems from the marching band, with a concert and a smaller pep band, a social hour orchestra, a string ensemble, and formal courses in com- posite music and appreciation as separate units. No other department is called upon with like regularity to provide entertainment for the student body, and from the beginning to the end of the term, the student musicians are always in demand. Vocal Music While equations, declensions, themes, and kindred obsessions make up a major part of the students' work day, the Champaign Sen- The Maroon ior High curriculum includes at least one course that allows each boy and girl the op- portunity to express his personality without the customary hindrances of home work and recitation fears. And because of its universal appeal, Vocal Music has been one of the most popular subjects offered during recent years. Taught by Miss Clelia Harland, who shares her time between the junior and senior high schools. and Miss Harriet Rose, vocal music director of the entire school system. approximately one-fourth of the student body is enrolled in the three class hours that have been set aside for singing instruction. Class meetings during 1944-45 were held in the afternoons, with the groups gathering in the band room or auditorium. Membership of three of the school's most popular student organizations-the choir, Vocalettes, and Troubadours - is drawn from the music classes. The choir is made up of more than one hundred voices, both boys and girls, while the Vocalettes are limited to fourteen girls, and the Troubadours restrict- ing its membership to boys. The latter two groups devote one afternoon or evening each week to extra curricular practice with Miss Harland supervising the girls, and Miss Rose directing the boys.

TRUUBADUURS Starting their second season as an all-boys singing unit, the CHS Troubadours-by rid- ing the crest of the high seas of vocal music-nailed their flag to the topmost mast of school ac- tivities. Called upon to furnish entertainment, not only at school but at numerous outside functions, they proved beyond all doubt that every audience may be swayed by song. Always appearing in dress suits, wearing ties and boutonnieres of CHS maroon, they sang at many assemblies, the Champaign county annual fall conference, the Lutheran church men's club dinner, for a special meeting of the Business and Professional Women's club, the Cham- paign-Mattoon basketball game, for the ABC, the Kiwanis, and the Lions service clubs, the Champaign USO, at Chanute Field hospital, the Moose banquet, the senior high opera, the Champaign-Urbana Junior Woman's club. the Catholic Woman's League, the stage show, and are scheduled to sing at the 1945 senior high Commencement exercises. Organized and directed by Miss Harriet Rose in the fall of 1943 by demand of male stu- dents for a singing group of their own, seven of the original members formed the nucleus for r the 1944-45 Troubadours. They are: Stan Brown, Rod- ney Miller, Kenneth Johnson, Tom Cochrane, Keith Knott, Harold Rigney, and Norman Langford.

'k ai' 'k DIRECTOR Miss Harriet Rose, director of vocal music throughout the Champaign school system, may never wear the Nobel ribbon or achieve distinction as a Congresswoman, but to senior high students she takes first place in developing vo- cal music as an outstanding school activity. For it was through her tireless efforts that singing became a part of the regular school program, offering both training and recreation to many students. 72 The Maroon First row--Pat Shoemaker.

VUEALETTE5 Although an uncommon name, neither school nor community is obliged to consult the dictionary to define Vocalettes. For it would, indeed, be an exceedingly rare individual who doesn't know that this name very aptly applies to a group of young women who have become famous as the schoo1's foremost singing group. Now in the third year, and organized by Miss Harland of the vocal music department, membership is restricted to fourteen senior high girls who are chosen from the ranks of the choir. Wearing maroon robes and white monogrammed stoles, the Vocalettes sing on the slight- est provocation, not only heading dozens of special assemblies and programs-in school and out-but frequently pinch hitting to provide entertainment when others have failed. Originally, the membership was restricted to twelve who, during the first year, wore sweat- ers of pastel shades with white skirts. Although presenting a pleasing appearance, the shift to maroon robes adds uniformity as well as a closer tie-up with the school when appearing before a non-student audience. Four of the group have continued membership from the outset, earning the music letter awarded by the depart- ment. They are: Melba Greenman, Betty Graves, Esther Norton, and Pat Shoemaker. Other members, several of whom will complete letter requirements by the end of the year. are: Alice Hamelin, Betty Wainscott, Joyce Bresee, Barbara Grumley. Jane Nelson, Doris Rodden, Joanne Becker, Norma Nugent. Lois Williamson, and Hester Nel- son. Rose Marie Holmes is accompanist. it if if LEADER Although a charter member of the junior high school staff, and a comparative newcomer with only afternoon classes, both students and senior high faculty have accepted Miss Clelia Harland into full membership. In charge of the voice classes, directing the choir and Vocalettes as extra curricular activities, she has taken an active part in school affairs with a helping hand to one and all. ,Y l The Maroon 73 Q ..,. l.. k ,, , f ': ' -.:, ' W .-q' E 1 -.:L ., ,R , V ,.

SOCIAL HOUR UREHESTRA For keeping the high school hearts young and gay, the Social Hour orchestra stands num- ber one in popularity with the student body. And there is no group that offers more-in tal- ent, time, or effort-than this group of youthful artists. Popular music is their dish-and they serve it liberally throughout the school year at school parties, the stage show, and many of the social dances for both the senior and junior high school groups. To achieve perfection, the musicians practice twice Weekly, meeting at the close of the regular school day, and while earning a half credit of academic requirement toward graduation. the satisfaction of providing entertainment offers the major recompense for efforts and time. Tryouts for membership of the orchestra Start on the opening day of the term, with the personnel of the high school band competing. With but three veterans returning from the or- chestra of the past term, Rodney Miller, Bill Johnston, and Jo Ann Wood, the selections for 1944-45 Were: James McDonald, Dale Scott, Bud Zumwalt, Wanda Ellett, Doris Forshey, Wilford Weeks. Jane Ann Cain, and Lorna Kaiser. S DANCE While but one home room period each week was set aside for student recre- ation, the makers of the school calendar and bulle- tin could very properly la- bel the fourth hour on Friday as the tim-e for the weekly hop. For it was, indeed, a rare week that a school organization or group did not sponsor a dance in the gym with the school orchestra furnishing the music and everyone taking part in the merry- making. 76 The Maroon Left to right-Rose Marie Holmes. Merlee Wagner. Wilford XVeeks, Marilyn McCown, and Kenneth Toreson. STRING ENSEMBLE It may not be true in all cases but so far as one group of boys and girls enrolled in Cham- paign senior high school it can be said that they'd rather play than to eat. For the String Ensemble, made up of Marilyn McCown, Kenneth Toreson, Bill Hoover. Merlee Wagner, Wil- ford Weeks, and Rose Marie Holmes would cheerfully skip any meal, any time, to entertain with music. Practicing at the fourth hour, and after the school day on Mondays under the direction of Mrs. Lorraine Bayes, this group was easily rated as a top-notch and talented organization that furnished music for dinner engagements, banquets, service clubs, church dinners, and plays. MRS. LORRAINE BAYES Assistant to the director of instrumental music, and responsible for the basic training of all young- sters in the elementary grades, Mrs. Lorraine Bayes directed the String Ensemble made up of talented CHS musicians. A newcomer in the Champaign school system, Mrs. Bayes was most warmly received by ,student body and faculty. i The Ilffaroon 77 ug-N A fm-XX -Q, X 53 -as 75 3 f FS KMJEQ K i f v 5 'V x if 1 o iv Q Mgr WAN, , MN w ' x .yy t gif V' x ' r gy Q.

The Maroon 81 STRATEGY Ideas are ammunition on the playing field and Athletic Director Moyer fre- quently calls together his staff to expound a bit of strategy to his assistant Fred Ma- jor in handling the backfield or line, and to offer a bit of advice to the reserve coaches, Harold Jester and Harry Combes, in developing fundamentals for the young- sters who are to be the next year candi- dates for the varsity. Moyer's strategy is legion among the Big Twelve coaches, and at home or abroad, he is rated as an out- standing general who can be expected to do the unexpected with his teams. 82 Moger Director Lester Moyer who has coached more championship teams in all sports than any other mentor in the Big Twelve confer- ence rounds out another year as the dean of Maroon athletics. Now directly supervising the physical education program in each of the twelve schools in the Champaign system, di- recting the competitive sports in both the jun- ior and senior high schools, and actively coaching the football team, Moyers list of activities-in school and out-offer a goal which could tempt only the slightest compe- tition, and none could equal in service. Although he is proud of the accomplish- ments of his teams, his personal satisfaction does not come from the number of games won on the playing field. To him, sportsmanship with fair play counts heaviest when the rec- ords are compiled. s Uncompromising in his demand for clean play, Moyer not only knows youth, he IS youth. He likes action: he is impulsive: he is enthusiastic. He responds to any type of contest, and thrills to the daring, chance- taking kind of strategy. Youth's interests are a large part of him, and always will be. He treats his boys as personalities with due respect for their suggestions and alibis, and while he never pulls his punches on the field or off, the time is yet to come when a player under Lester Moyer does not regard him as a friend. He has that rare quality that instils conndence and loyalty-and respect. Champaign High School is the better to have known him, and his teams may be rated as superior by following his code of fair play.

Twenty-seven hearts, beating excitedly to the tune of victory, found it difficult to hide their secrets. For to those seniors, the cheers of the wildly partisan Maroon fans-the thrill and excitement of the favorite sport of the high school -had dimmed, and the laying aside of their football suits on that cool November evening was for the last time. Ten of that group had started against the Tigers: the others. except for a few held back by injuries, had a share in the thumping, 13-O surprise victory. And whether on the bench for replacements or on the playing field, all had merited the praise heaped on by coaches and fans alike. At left end, Jesse Clements had held down his wing post in admirable fashion. Playing his second year as a varsity starter, he was responsible for checking the desperate Tigers on their favorite end sweeps. As a receiver for the bullet aerials heaved by Fletcher, Major or Gerrie, he made yardage when yardage counted. Next to him, Charles Kaufman and John Weldon shared the tackle position. Kaufman, a letter winner as guard and center on the championship team Del Cantrell, Halfback Claud Burch, Pullback Russell Hinote. Tackle 84, The Maroon Dave Smith, Guard Harvey Hunt, End Charles Gerrie, Quarterback Russ Winterbottom, Halfback Fred Reifsteck, Tackle Dick Kelly, End Q of the previous year, belatedly moved up to tackle for the fourth game of the season when James Hurd, another regular, was called to the colors. Weldon, a regular at the beginning of the season and held back by injuries, is a track and wrestling letterman, as well as holdover from the 1943 football team. The center spot was filled by John Lehmann, who, playing his first year with the varsity, proved to be a welcome utility man. Before Kaufman vacated the center post, Lehmann played end, tackle, and guard during successive games. His move to cen- ter, with stocky Burt Kelly as replacement, was the last shift for the season. The right guard on the starting team was held by an underclassman, Norman Paterson, brother of the captain, and a sure-tire sparkplug of the Maroon team of next fall. Right tackle was handled by 210-pound Fred Reifsteck, a veteran of the previous season. He likewise ex- cells in the shot-put on the track team. and is a regular on the wrestling squad. A newcomer to the football gridiron this year was right end, Dick Kelly, a mainstay of the basketball team. Throughout the season, Kelly played a sterling game. Other linemen who saw considerable action were Charles Compton at end, Dave Smith at guard, Russell Hinote and John Flesher at tackles, Burt Kelly at center, and Harvey Hunt and Bill McMahon at ends. McMahon was injured in the Bloomington game, putting him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. In the backneld, the quarterbacking was handled by Pete Fletcher, high honor student, with Charles Gerrie, another senior, and Fred Major, a sophomore, as replacements. At right halfback, Dick Paterson, captain, was one of the leading ground gainers throughout the season. At left half, Stan Burke, Bill Koehnemann, and Jim Hallback alternated at that spot. Burke, The Maroon 35 Bill McMahon, End Burt Kelly, Center Dick Stinson, Halfback John Flesher, Tackle Charles Kaufman, Tackle Bob Chase, Guard Pete Fletcher, Quarterback Dick Paterson, Halfback Stan Burke, Halfback Jesse Clements, End Bill Koehnemann, Halfback Charles Compton. End 86 The Maroon Joe Louder, Tackle Kermit Elliott. End John Weldon, Guard injured in an early season game, was rated as the speediest member of the squad. Claud Burch. who ended the season with the honor of scoring the first touchdown against Urbana. was se- lected as the most valuable player by his teammates. sharing the top honors for the ground gain- ing leadership with Paterson. Gene Suggs, named captain for the team next year, alternated with Burch in the fullback spot. if CAPTAINS Chosen by former teammates to honor his fine playing spirit, the late Emmett Dunn was captain of the 1944 Maroons. A guard on the championship team and one of the mainstays in the line, Emmett lost his life in a woodshop accident midway of the 1943 playing season. Acting captains were named for each of the early games during the last season with Dick Pat- erson, Heet right halfback, taking over the responsibilities of leadership in late October. Dick was the outstanding yardage man and a fine general.

Backs-Dick Paterson, Pete Fletcher, Claud Burch, and Charles Bialeschki. lnlercihg Crown Although the Big Twelve championship crown was transferred to the Green Wave of Mattoon in 1944, the Maroons retained the intercity superiority, downing the Urbana Tigers for the 29th time in the traditional meeting of the two teams. And as in the year previous when the CHS champions administered a licking, the Urbana boys were held scoreless, this time to the tune of 13 to O. In 1943, playing on the enemy field, the Maroons won, 20 to 0. Spotlight heroes in the 1944 meeting were a group of seniors who,were singing their gridiron swan song, and a couple of stalwart sophomores who will be the nucleus of the 1945 grid team. Stars of particular brilliance were Dave Smith, Fred Reifsteck, Pete Fletcher, Jesse Clements, Dick Kelly, John Lehmann, Claud Burch, Bill Koehnemann, Dick Paterson, and Charles Kaufman. After a disastrous season that had been brightened only by the downing of the previously unbeaten St. Bede team, the Maroons were keyed to save the crown and to demonstrate their superiority over their traditional foe. And there were no disappointments to the 3,500 loyal fans who braved the November chill to see the game. By using a running attack with variations, throwing passes when the Urbana defense changed, the Tigers were completely outmaneuvered at every point, fulfilling every prediction that had been made by Assistant Coach Major who had scouted the Urbana team in early sea- son play. On defense, Champaign played a 6-2-2-1 line that held Urbana to a single completed pass. Originally scheduled to be played on November 3 at the Champaign field, the game was postponed in the early evening of that date because of heavy downpours that made the grid- iron a quagmire of mud. The change in time to Thursday, November 17, was a disappoint- ment to students and loyal fans for approximately 5,000 tickets had been sold in advance and an additional 3,000 had been expected to swell the crowd by game time. Enthusiasm ran at fever pitch at the school, although there was but little of the nocturnal visitation in enemy territory by the followers of either team. 88 The Maroon w As an added incentive to stimulate interest, the Down Town Coaches club offered a traveling trophy which is to be permanently placed in the trophy case of the school winning the majority of the intercity games during the next ten years. Programs including the pictures of all senior squad members had been published by the newswriting classes and Quill and Scroll, and many had been sold in advance of the game. Maroon and white mums, supplied through Student Council salesmen, were a part of the color scheme. Bands of both schools performed before the game and at half time, and a group of 24 feminine flag bearers added to the fanfare. From the outset, it was Champaign's game and doubtless the score could have been dou- bled if the coaches had foregone the tradition of constant shifts and substitutions to permit sen- ior squad members the opportunity of taking part in the contest. ir 'k THE RESERVES Only once during the season did a rival team conquer the Maroon Reserves, and then the loss was by a single point. And to compensate for the 7 to 6 showing against Mattoon, the fledglings administered a 41 to 0 licking to Villa Grove, spanked Decatur, 30 to 0, and shut out Urbana by the same score. Other victories included a 26 to 6 win over Urbana, 20 to 7 in the game with Danville. and topping the same team. 21 to 12, in the second meeting of the year. .Members of the squad and letter winners included four juniors, Bill Hoover, Gene Lamb, Jim Hallbeck. and Charles Feathergill-the two latter playing a few games as members of the varsity - and the following sophomores: Bob Asherman, Dick O'Neal, Fritz Kubitz, Bill Kent, Don Wiles, John McDermott, Ray Walters, Dean Bingaman, Jim Sands, Dick Petry, Tom Wisegarver, Jim Coon, Bill Curry, Jim Singbusch, Dick Nesmith, Charles Bialeschki. and Tom Hagan. The Maroon 89 BASKETBALL A specialist in his Held, and himself a player of top rank, Harry Combes has added power and drive to the Maroon bas- ketball teams, making them the most highly respected in the Big Twelve confer- ence and state. Insisting that perfection comes only to those who are willing to pay the price, the Combes coached teams develop the rare ver- satility that comes only to champions, largely through constant drills and prac- tice. Under his direction, with Harold Jester coaching the reserves, there is always a large turn-out of candidates at the opening of the season, and only a few drop by the wayside during the year. In addition to coaching basketball, Combes is sponsor of the C club, serves as boys' counselor, and coaches the reserve football team. THE SEASON From the start of the season, the Maroon basketeers left no doubt that there would be no let-up in the string of impressive victories established by their predecessors. They wanted noth- ing short of the state crown-and were willing to play that kind of basketball. With but two regulars back-Captain Jesse Clements who had built up a reputation in state competition during the previous year, and Jimmy Cottrell whose Hghting spirit was an inspiration: with two competent members of the reserves on hand-Dick Kelly and Dick Pat- erson, and a trio of sophomores-Ted Beach, John McDermott, and Fred Major, Jr., the team was quickly rated as a topnotch contender, sharing that rating with the Reds of Decatur. Throughout most of the season, the weekly poll of the sports writers gave first one and then the other of these two teams the number one spot in the state. The Reds, through a most fortunate Cfor themj break, crowded the Maroons from the Big Twelve championship in a conference tilt, winning, 52 to 50, but two weeks later the CHS five showed complete mastery over their rivals with a 44 to 42 count. Both games were played on the Decatur floor. The Decatur loss was heartbreaking, and while accepted as the fortunes of the game, was far from convincing to the loyal followers that the better team had won. Man for man, and play for play, the Maroons were superior. Significant, of course, in the long string of victories. was the sound trouncing handed to Taylorville. who in the previous season had lucked out four close margined defeats, and who had toppled the Maroons from final play in the state championship. Outstanding throughout the season was the work of every individual player-the regu- lars apparently alternating in supplying the breath-taking thrills for their devoted followers.

I They may miss the support of Clements, Paterson, Kelly, Cantrell, and Harrison - for those names will go down in history as part of the big, little team that could be counted upon to play heads up basketball throughout the season. CLEMENTS Captain Jesse Clements, mainstay on the Maroon bas- ketball team in l944 and 1945, honorable mention when a junior, and player throughout his three years at CHS. member of the Willard grade school team that won the championship in citywide competition, and the most feared individual player in the Big 12-the Big Moose was willing enough to trade his basketball uniform for the blue of the navy and to try his hand in a still bigger game. Under his leadership, through his enthusiasm and love for the game, the 1945 Maroons clicked throughout the season. The Maroon 93 Wrestling Roy Swindell Charles Frederick Major CHARLES FREDERICK MAJOR Charles Frederick Major-winner of ten C's during his high school days at senior high, one time captain of the Maroon football team, all-state forward in basketball for two years out of the three he starred on the Maroon team, one of the charter members of the C club, former football and baseball coach at Miami high school, baseball coach at Kentucky university, and a recognized authority on all sports-is head wrestling coach at CHS. He likewise assists in CHS football, teaches physical education at CHS and directs the physical education and health courses in the elementary schools. ROY SWINDELL Although he was employed as a math teacher-and still knows his Eggers like nobody's business -Roy Swindell became a coach soon after his arrival at senior high, and has run his string of consecutive years from 1922 to the present. Serving as a H11-in with the wrestling squad when Coach Foster McCarty was called to service and continuing to co-coach, Mr. Swin- dell has coached the 'tank team, has charge of the golfers, manages the intramural program, teaches swimming as part of the physical education and health courses. 94 The Maroon l 9 4 3 l 9 4 4 Back row-Manager Charles Wiles, Coach Roy Swindell, John Weldon, Bill Swihart, Don Nlyrick.

The Maroon 95 THE SEASON Turning back the pages of time for 3.000 years-history shows that the sport was a favorite of the Graecio-Romans in the era 3,000 B. C.-Champaign senior high is keeping alive one of the oldest com- petitive sports, offering opportunity for the individual contestant, and providing breath-taking thrill for the onlooker. And as in the past seasons. the Maroon grapplers had no lack in the number of enthusiastic backers who could be counted upon to give a full measure of support. For the Maroons-the matmen-who have taken up wrestling in a serious way and who may always be counted upon to produce a share of state champions. see wrestling only as a major sport. Competing only with basketball. interests are about equally divided with topheavy squads reporting to the coaches of both to compete for a place on the teams. The advan- tage with wrestling is the provision for a chance at practically any weight. The 1945 squad - with the match with Bridgeport on January 5-starting the season was made up of: 95 pounds. Dale Scott, Dick Picard, John Clapp. and Don Pickens: 105 pounds. Jim Ed- wards. Richard Curtis, and Bill Havener: 115 pounds, Russell Winterbottom, Pete Shover, Bill Marquardt, and Bob Lence: 125 pounds. Jack Genung, Ray Wor- they, Charles Hardy. and Bill O'Bryne: 135 pounds.

John Weldon. and Wayne Kobel: heavyweight, Fred Reifsteck, John Flesher. Charles Kaufman, Joe Louder, and Jim Decker. Co-captains were Jimmy John- son and Jack Genung, two of the veterans who competed on the 1944 state championship team. G Co-captains, Jack Genung and Jim Johnson 'kit all Eight men represented senior high on the golf links in 1944-Pete Fletcher, Bob Percy, Otho Bartholow, Paul Knudsen. Bill O Byrne, Neal Newton, Richard Burrell, and Jack Ge- nung. Percy served as captain of the squad, with Fletcher named as leader for the 1945 season. Cf the eight, four-Fletcher, Percy, Bartholow, and Knudsen-were letter winners, while O'Byrne and Newton, alternating as fifth and sixth man, saw action in most of the meets. The first meet of the season was with Urbana with the Maroons winning, 16-2. Fletcher was medalist with a round of 85. He was medalist again when the Tigers were host at the second meet with Bartholow, Knudsen, and Newton also scoring clean victories to boost the total to 13-5. The third meet was likewise at Urbana, with Peoria Central competing and taking the top score, the Maroons placing second. Fletcher, medalist, with Jimmy Love. Pe- oria, accounted for 3 points, Percy 5M, Bartholow ZW, Knudsen 1, and New- ton 1. At the district meet in Sullivan, the Ma- roons nosed out Urbana, 347-348. Cham- paign's totals included Fletcher 86. Percy 85, Bartholow 86, Knudsen 90, and O'Byrne 92. The Urbana Country Club was the scene of the linal meet of the year with all Big Twelve teams competing. Peoria Cen- tral took first place, Urbana second, and Champaign third. With bad weather sorely handicapping the team throughout the season and with Coach Swindell absent several weeks of the playing season, the golfers encountered the most disastrous year in history. The Maroon Three veterans, William O'Byrne, Pete Fletcher, and Neal Newton 97 Track HAROLD ,IESTER Although disclaiming even the slightest im- plication that he favors personal glamour, Coach Harold Jester has definitely proved that he can produce glamour teams in football, basketball, and track. Coaching the reserves in the two for- mer sports, and directly in charge of the track team, his 1943-44 squads fthe first under his coaching at Cl-ISD were among the most color- ful to represent the school. Quiet, unassuming, he quickly recognizes talent and knows the se- cret of developing it into full bloom. Quietly-and yet with the full force of a tidal wave-track returned as a major sport at senior high during the spring of 1944, blazoning a comeback trail that left no doubt that the CHS athletes can be worthy of their steel in any type of competition. Listed as an orphan sport for the past several years, Coach Harold Jester-in the capacity of supersalesrnan-is in no small measure responsible for the revival. For it was he who per- sonally interviewed each member of the basketball and wrestling squads as the seasons ended, en- couraging all to report for track: it was he who uncovered stars who had no thoughts of entering any sport but who, nevertheless, had qualities needed to round out a team. And in his first season as track coach, Jester's team ranked second in the Big Twelve, placed eighth in the state contest with two Maroon athletes well to the front, won each dual meet entered, took first in the Urbana relays-the first time in many years--and held fifth place at Paris where competition was rated keenest in the Midwest. It was at the Paris relays-the first ma- jor tryout of the season-that the team members gave the iirst inkling that the tidal Wave was starting to roll. It was here W 98 The Maroon Set up by Director Lester Moyer, who supervised and planned the physical educa- tion courses for the entire school system, considerable of the equipment used on the outdoor playgrounds was copied from the army, and built in the school shops un- der his direction. Assistants in teaching the physical education classes were Mr. Harry Combes, Mr. Fred Major, and Mr. Roy Swindell. With a goal set for making every boy a swimmer before he completed school, every encouragement was offered to students to elect this class for P. E. training. More than sixty completed the life-sav- ing and navy proficiency courses under Mr. Swindell. The Maroon 0 l GIRLS IN SPURTS Fully in sympathy with the new state requirements, Miss Marga Hosaeus, physical education director and coach of all girl sports, saw to it that both the spirit and the letter of the law were carried out during 1944-45. Every student participated, either willingly or by pressure, with no leniency shown to the would-be slacker. Happily, the director-blessed with unlimited enthusiasm and a deep seated sense of fair play-set an example that made every girl anxious to take part. 02 The Maroon Phgsical Fitness Intended to broaden the traditional high school program to Total Education, with the health of the student on a par with the academic training, special emphasis was placed upon the physical fit- ness of every girl enrolled during the term. With the state law requiring adequate training -with full periods devoted to prescribed training under competent instructors-the CHS program dealt largely with Home Aid, physiology, and hy- giene, and were designed to teach how to prevent disease, how to avoid injury. and how to provide proper nutrition for bodily Welfare. The physical fitness program. enlisting every girl regularly enrolled-with a physician's certifi- cate excusing the student from participation but not from attendance-set its goal for the building of a strong and healthy body. either through the established calisthenics or swimming. On a modified scale but using much of the same equipment that had been built for the boys, the physical education curriculum hinged upon the ex- ercising of little used muscles, the developing of grace and agility, and in general. the condition- ing of thc body by establishing habits of co- ordination. During fair weather, the surfaced playground was used exclusively for the conditioning exercises. Rope climbing. the ladderwalk, push-ups, jump- ing, and running on the border course were carried out simultaneously under the supervision of the director, and the 'student regularly checked for pro- ficiency in the assigned exercise. In the gym, the traditional indoor equipment was used for similar exercises although the lack of space greatly curtailed run- ning and jumping facilities found out of doors. Partially making up for the lack of room, temporary gymnasium quarters were es- tablished in room 118-formerly used as a first floor classroom. With the addition of a part-time instructor, Mrs. Simpson, as an assistant, this room frequently served for health class exercises. Frequently, and especially in the fall and early spring, team games were substituted for the playground classes, offering com- petition and sportsmanship to the values gained from competition. Swimming. accepted on a par with the classes in calisthenics. was encouraged as a subject for all girls with the goal of each advanced to junior lifesaving proficiency for possible emergency in out-of-school life. Beginning students were particularly urged to enroll, experience revealing that the beginner often is anxious to continue the sport during the second and third years. During the first semester of the 1944-45 term, the pool was reserved for the girls every afternoon following the close of the regular school day and not a single afternoon passed without a full attendance to the extra-curricular class. The All competitive sports-open to girls-are under the direction of the Champaign chapter of the Illinois League of High School Girls Athletic Association with the same rules apply- ing to all member schools. Intimately connected with, and a part of the general health and physical education pro- gram, the G. A. A. attempts to encourage sports and games without conflict or duplication with the regular class routine. And as strictly extra-curricular activity, meetings are held be- fore the opening of the morning classes. at the noon hour, and in the evenings after the close of school. Lacking, of course, is the traditional cheering sections that form an integral part of strictly boys' sports. Under a new plan tried out for the first time in 1944-45, a special manager was named for each sport, who. in turn, kept a record of all points earned toward numerals and letters by each contestant. 1 These Were: ping pong, Carolyn Caganng hiking, Bede Marie Pickett: bowling, Lois Dicka- song volleyball, Hester Nelson: basketball, i Lucille Brown: baseball, Delores Wilson: and swimming, Betty Revell. Each was chosen and assigned to the individual sport by action of the G.A.A. Cabinet. and with full responsibility to carry out and super- vise the particular activity assigned. Officers of the Association were: presi- dent, Mary Picard: vice-president, Nancy Ramey: secretary, Mildred Torcasog and treasurer' Mary White' SeatedfMajorie Kemp, Mary Picard. Mildred Torcaso. Standing-Nancy Ramey and Mary White. The Maroon 105 Because of the large number of girls holding membership during 1944-45, the Associa- tion was organized into two separate groups meeting on alternate Tuesdays and each carrying out identical programs. Upperclassmen met on the second and fourth Tuesdays with the soph- omores holding their meetings on the first and third Tuesdays. The latter group, in addition to the regularly elected officers, were represented by a sophomore representative, Marjorie Kemp. The point system followed this year was very much the same as in the past years, At- tendance to an organized sport, once a week for eight consecutive weeks, allowed thirty-two points earned toward a letter. Six hundred points were required for a numeral and twelve hun- dred for a letter, and eighteen hundred for a state I. Seated-Bede Marie Pickett, Carolyn Cagann, Delores Wilson. Hester Nelson. Standing--Lucille Brown, Lois Dickason, and Betty Revell. 106 The Maroon I HOME ARTS Nutrition, preparation and serving of meals, home care of the sick. care of children, home and family, community service and practical buying were definite and integral parts of the home arts classes at Champaign senior high. The vocational choice of a large number of girls, the home art classes combined the the- oretical With the practical in training of the students for after school careers. Miss Lucille Stansell and Mrs. Helen Stark were in charge of the classes taught in the CHS program. AVIATION ENGINES With laboratory equipment supplied by the state vocation department and for- merly in the specialized training section of navy personnel, Champaign senior high students showed considerable interest in an industrial arts course in aviation engines. Mr. C. E. Summerville. director of the industrial education program in the Cham- paign schools, took charge of the course, permitting boys enrolled in auto mechanics to shift to this class, taught at CHS for the Hrst time in 1944-45. The Maroon 107 WOOD CRAFTS Oldest in the point of years of any of the industrial education courses taught at Cham- paign senior high, the classes in wood crafts continued to hold to the popularity that in- variably characterizes the boy as a builder. Taught by Mr. Wallace Abernathie, the course was designed to give the student an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of wood working, with emphasis upon, mill- work and cabinet finishing. In previous years, the classes assumed the responsibility for completely building of a local house, a project impractical at this time. METAL CRAFTS In the metal crafts course that forms one of the basic units in the Industrial Education program, students are encouraged to design special projects which teach the use and mastering of the various metal working machines. Recognizing the need for replacements in the metal working ranks, and the lack of apprentices, the course is shaped to determine what student possesses the innate abil- ities for this particular field and encouragement offered to continue. Mr. Harold Snidow had charge in 1944-45. l PRINTING Learning by doing, students who chose printing as a class subject at senior high during 1944-45 mastered the skills of as- sembling type for actual printing projects. as well as carryng through each step to the printed project. Under the direction of Mr. Russell Geist. the shop was set up to operate on a com- mercial basis, and planned to train the stu- dent in the fundamentals required when he later enrolls in the special trade schools maintained by the journeymen of the craft. 108 The Maroon AIRCRAFT woon Holding the distinction of being the only course taught in the high school cur- riculum throughout the United States, the aircraft wood classes at Champaign senior high have been regarded as the pioneer in a new field, certain to become well estab- lished at the conclusion of the war. Actually constructing gliders made Wholly of wood, students acquire basic skills that hold promise of certain employ- ment in the wood working industry, should they choose this work. Originally designated as a war produc- tion course, primarily for adult students. demand for such training at high levels made it necessary to include in the CHS program. Mr. Burnell Applegate, one of the few men qualixied to teach aircraft wood, was in charge. DRAWING Students who elect drawing as a part of the industrial education program, may elect either of two courses, engineering drawing of architectural drawing. With Miss Grace Wilson, regular teacher on leave of absence during 1944-45, three other shop teachers, Mr. Abernathie, Mr. Berry and Mr. Snidow, directed the course of study. Positions as junior draftsmen are open to those who complete the courses. The Maroon ELECTRICITY A former member of the University of Illinois staff, Mr. James M. Johnston directed the program of teaching senior high school boys the skills and techniques of electricity, during 1944-45. Designed for both the industrial educa- tion and vocational levels, the electricity courses progress through a program of practical wiring to the building and recon- ditioning of motors and equipment. Students who complete the two years vocational course are qualiiied to enter this field as special apprentices or helper standing. 109 AUTO MECHANICS One of the first schoolsiin the state to in- troduce auto mechanics for the training of a large number of students who choose this Work as a career or who may wish to become proficient in the repair and maintenance of the family car, the facilities and shop equip- ment have been maintained at a high level at Champaign senior high. Concerned with the mastery of the funda- mental principles of operation and basic parts before any attempt is made to teach repair work, the student may elect to continue into the vocational training program. During i 1944-45, this part of the course was taught in local shops and garages. MACHINE OPERATION Recognized as the outstanding course of- fered by any high school, the machine opera- tion classes in the Champaign senior high curriculum offers training from both the in- dustrial education and vocational levels. The last of the senior high school classes to continue in the old high school building. now shared with the USC, the shop is mod- ern in every respect, allowing the student op- portunity to become familiar with the most up-to-date machines. Taught by Mr. Tweed Littler, students who complete the vocational courses are qual- ilied to enter industry as special apprentices.

Held together by a common bond-the ear ning of a letter in a competitive sport-this club is likewise one of the oldest in school history. Members are Stan Burke, president: Richard Paterson, vice-president: Burt Kelly, secre- tary: Bob Chase, Jesse Clements, Pete Fletcher, Charles Kaufman, Jim Cottrell, Jim Edwards, Bob Hansen, Jim Hallbeck, Dean Wisegarver, Jim Johnson, Jack Genung, Delford Cantrell, and the club sponsor, Mr. Harry Combes. Athletes who earn letters in football. basketball, and track in the l94-4-45 sports are au- tomatically extended an invitation to become members. These candidates are announced at the end of the season for each sport. Activities for the 1944-45 school year include the sponsoring of the first pep assembly, completion of the honor roll listing alumni athletes now in the armed services, and the annual C dance on April 4. Members of the club are required to wear the athletic letter each Friday. Left to right--Jim Johnson, Burt Kelly, Bob Hansen, Dean Vlisegarver, Bob Chase, Pete Fletcher.

Student Council The backbone of extra curricular activities and interest in the student welfare of the Champaign senior high school is the Student Council, and taking its position at the head of student government, it is the one school organization responsible for the strengthening of old traditions and originating new ideas. Throughout the war years. the Council has maintained the liaison between CHS students and the national and community organizations that support the home front efforts. Prom the beginning of the war, the Council has directed the sale of war stamps and bonds-and. while To Serve on'Home-War Front 112 the plan is purely voluntary. provided the opportunity for every student to do his or her proportionate share. The Council records, showing al- ways more than 90 per cent actual student participation, brought the E flag that was flown throughout the year at the school mast. With members of the Council and special home room representatives taking part, the sixth war loan drive netted more than 33,000 in bond sales among senior high students. As was true of the previous year, the CHS sales- men won over the Urbana Council in contest staged by the two schools. The Maroon Back row-Shirley Ewing, Bill Fisher, Charles Saxe.

Other activities carried on by the Council included the supervising of class elections, the class voting to choose the senior announcements and rings, the Homecoming dance at the senior high with the Danville football team as special guests. the all-school Christmas party, the col- lecting and wrapping of gifts for hospitalized at Chanute and other veterans' hospitals, the preparation and carrying out of pep rallies during the football and basketball seasons, direct- ing the raising of the flag at McKinley Field during home games, aiding the Parent-Teachers As- sociation in the drive for a suitable war memorial, and directing the traditional visitors' day program, at which time the graduating class of the junior high school is given ta bird's eye View of what they may expect when they report as sophomores. With Dick Hurst, a member of the CHS Council and serving as president of the district, representatives and delegates from two dozen eastern central Illinois high schools were enter- tained at Champaign senior high in one of the most outstanding conventions on record. Tan- gible results show a renewed interest in Student Council programs and activities with Cham- paign as a leader. Two other noteworthy activities were carried on by the Council-the Senior Civics Day at which a student principal and vice-principal are selected to administer during the day, and the Lost and Found department which keeps tab on articles carelessly misplaced or lost. The for- mer activity involves the naming of teachers from the senior class who preside during the day. Ofhcers of-the Council during 1944-45 were: president, Marietta Ripley: vice-president, Richard Patersong secretary, Joanne Bresee: treasurer, Florence Bechtolg and sponsor. Miss Nelle Zehner. Members, chosen from the home rooms, Were: John McNabney, Joanne Becker, Mary White, Mildred Torcaso, Rose Marie Worthey, Ruth St. John, Jane Nelson, Mary Walters, Dick Shubert, Charles Kratz, Bill Harkins, Charles Saxe, Ted Beach, Dick Kelly, Di-ck Hurst.

For upon his nimble lingers and his skill in manipulation rest the success or failure of the performance, whether it be entertainment of a class room audience or as a part of a visual education assignment. And as is frequently true of the skilled and versatile, their services are rarely given the plaudits that should be their lot. Their reward is of the more per- manent type-satisfaction in service rendered. Although banded together with a common interest, the Projectors are not organized as a formal CHS club. They meet each Tuesday but with no ofhcers to direct their activities. Miss Nellie Bates, faculty sponsor, capably fills these positions, naming temporary chairmen when business sessions are held. Members are: James Anderson, Don Becker. Randall Cozad, George Gil- more, Carl Johnson, Willard Klienmeyer, Robert Lence, William Livesay, Rex Munson, Alan Schrader, Ray Walters, and Powell Wyman. With their success depending solely upon skill-and working with pro- jectors that are both complicated and expensive-most of the meeting periods is given over to operating the equipment. Working in pairs and under the watchful eye of the sponsor, each boy carries out the full assembly of the machine, winding the film and making the adjustments that are needed to flash the movie onto the screen. Only after considerable practice are the members given the assignments to run the show alone. Not only do the Projectors operate the movie machines at school during the regular day, but frequently they are in charge of the movies shown attclub meetings, P.-T. A's parties, and other organizations held elsewhere in the community. 1 14 The Maroon Bach row--Barbara Patterson, Jeanne Potter. Betty Thomas, Warwick Brown. Harvey Hunt.

Thespians Troupe No. 106 of the National Thespians have made themselves known to many other dramatic societies by having their pictures on the cover of the Drama Magazine. This year's members have kept themselves busy by pro- ducing three plays and two stunt shows. The National Thespian organization, organized in 1929. is an honorary organization for outstanding students in the dramatic clubs. classes, and play producing groups. The Thespian Troupe at CHS was installed at Oakwood Township High School in November. and the members were installed January 10. Juniors are initiated in the second semester of the junior year. Oflicers selected to lead this group this year were: Warwick Brown, Presi- dent: Suzanne White, Vice-President: Melba Greenman, Secretary, and Nancy Holmes, Treasurer. Co-operating with these were Charlotte Keck and Nancy Holmes, Jeanne Potter and Robin I-Xmsbary who helped with the many social meetings. Thespians, combined with Wig and Paint, produced a stunt show in Octo- ber, Best Foot Forward, Service Flag show in January, Mystery at the Old Fort February 26, 27 and 28, another stunt show February l6, and the Spring Play April 27. Consider the work needed to make a success of these activities, and you see why these members haven't had too much spare time. There was one Troupe picture on the cover of the Drama Magazine. Three others also appeared from the following plays: Romeo and Juliet, Death Takes cr Holiday, and Millicent Patterson and Jean Gates in The Wx'ues of Henry VIII. These plays were produced in previous years, but Millicent and Jean will be remembered by many as excellent performers. The Maroon 115 Back row--Louis Meyer, Jack B.

Front row-Anne Withers, Margaret Hayes, Gloria Newman, Reatha Hamburg, Joan Bresee, Therese Lahey, Dorothy Armstrong, Alice Dee Chapman, Ruth Munkvold, Pat Shoe- maker, and Mary Marsh. Quill and Scroll While quills are no longer used by scribblers, and scrolls belong only to the far distant past, both are the emblematic tools of a senior high school group that turns to writing and publishing as favored activities. And as the CHS chapter of Quill and Scroll--a national honorary society open to stu- dents with a journalism bent--this group was especially active during 1944-45. Pauline Dolan-as publication editor-in-chief-headed the organization and directed the activities that were carried on. Editors of the school newspaper, Dorothy Armstrong, and the yearbook, Patricia Shoemaker, were her assistants. Other members of the chapter were: John Lehmann, Jack B. Cain, Neal Newton, Louis Meyer, D-avid Mellon, Barbara Sands, Therese Lahey, Joan Bresee, Barbara Baird, Reatha Hamburg, Betty Thomas, Joanne Becker, Gloria Newman, Jean Geisler, Margaret Hayes, Alice Dee Chapman, and Doris Rodden. In addition to the i'actives, Mary Marsh and Leonard Davis, both sophomores, had completed require- ments for membership, and were to be initiated when both had advanced to junior standing. Recognized as strictly honorary, the CHS chapter combined social with a work program without sacrificing the academic emphasis. Membership was open only to the students main- taining high scholastic grades, with the added requirements calling for service in editorial or business management on either one or more of the high school publications. Unlike the other high school organizations, meetings were held daily during the fifth hour. and were devoted largely to problems arising from publication of The Chronicle or The Maroon. 'Quill and Scroll's social activities included a publication banquet and theatre party sched- uled for early May. 1 16 The Maroon back row-Don Merritt, George Booth. Guy Zumwalt, Charles Condon.

Baton Club Members of the Baton club play a dual role in the senior high activities, serving first of all as a Board of Directors in charge of music, and secondly as a club with a combination social and service program. With the members chosen strictly on the basis of leadership and scholarly achievement, the club was organized twenty-one years ago as the honorary society open to boys, and to aid in the promotion of the band as a high school activity. Membership is limited to juniors and seniors who hold an A or B rank in the band, and who have average standing in other academic subjects. Election is strictly upon invitation. although the director, who is faculty spon- sor, makes the recommendations upon which the club bases its decisions. Officers and members of the club are Kenneth Toreson, president, Jack B. Cain, vice-president: Charles Condon, treasurer: Harold Rigney, Bill Johnston, James McDonald, Guy Zumwalt, Malcolm Alexander, Bill Hoover, Paul Ken- ney, Don Merritt, Bill Grimm, Don Cahill, Earl Barcus, and Maurice Mecum. The Vice Versa dance, the mid-Winter concert, the spring stage show, are a few of the activities carried on the band under the sponsorship of the club. Invitations of the club are regarded as possibly the liveliest held by any high school group with the neophytes thoroughly enjoying the activity. The Maroon 117 118 Back row-Ramona Tarrant. Marilyn McCown, Rozanne Spears, and Pat Short. Front row-Delores Car son Patricia Millsap, Helen Smith, and Shirley Gilmore. Treble Ulel The Treble Clef club is a girls' musical organization, formed in l937 to serve-along with the Baton club-as the Student Council of the high school band. As such, it sets the pattern to be followed, directs activities and social events. and supervises the instrumental program of the school. Although membership is open to all Junior and Senior girls who are enrolled in the band, a high scholastic standing is required before a new member is fully accepted, and all must satisfactorily prove a willingness to assist in promoting good citizenship. Activities held during the year under the sponsorship of the club include the Vice Versa dance, the Stage Show, the Mid-Winter concert, and the musical festival. As members of the band, they also take part at the football and basketball games, as well as at the sectional tournament. The members this year, including the three holdovers from the past term, are Shirley Gilmore, Marilyn McCown, Patty Short, Rozanne Spears, Ramona Tarrant, and Betty Lou Wainscott. The ollicers are: president, Jo Anne Wood: vice-president, Patricia Millsap, and secretary-treasurer, Helen Smith, The initiation-a combination of fun and seriousness-is always regarded as one of the highlights of the club year, never failing to impress the new member of her obligations as a member and citizen.

The Rifle Club Listed at the start of the term as a wartime casualty, the Maroon rifle club- through a special dispensation offered by the government to promote marksman- ship-made the 1944-45 school year a bull's eye in achievement. With the membership made up of both boys and girls, and with but two afternoons open for practice on the high school range. every meeting brought a full turnout of marksmen, eager to improve their skill with the rifle and to compete in the national marksman contests. Those taking part were: Bob Chase, Monty Hull, Neal Newton, Harry Williams, Louis Lindsey. Neil Van Dyke, Bill Lyons, David Nightingale. Phil Essenpreis, Bill Sanford, Malcolm Alexander, Dick Huston, Teddy Cross, John Schumacher, and Pete Shoverg girls. Virginia Metzler. Florence Bechtol, Juanita Wright, Phyllis Sturdyvin, Joan Trowbridge, Ilene Bush, Dorothy Kirk, and Arlene Curl. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Fuqua, and following the code set up by the National Rifle Association, Washington. D. C., the members practiced shooting from prone, kneeling, and standing positions, competing with other schools on a national basis on specified dates. The girls of the club met each Tuesday at the close of the school day, with the boys taking over the range on Thursdays. The regular meetings of the club, held on alternate Tuesdays, were largely devoted to the study of and the practice in handling the riiie. With no dues or assessments, the club financed its program throughout the year by a series of hops held at the Friday recreation hour. The Maroon 119 Back row-Pearlie Roberts.

Girl Reserves Held in reserve for later membership in the YWCA-and through the local chapter, carrying out the same ideals of the parent organization-the Cham- paign Girl Reserves represented one of the strongest and busiest clubs through- out the school year. Founded in 1935, and for seven years under the sponsorship of Mrs. Amy Turrell, the CHS Reserves in 1944-45 Were: Miss Dorothy Munger, faculty sponsor: president, Bede Marie Pickett: vice-president, Lois Dickason: secre- tary, Betty Watson: corresponding secretary, Pat Utt: treasurer, Pat Shoemaker. Members were: Barbara Baird, Sue Campbell, Minnie Connell, Juanita Craw, Arlene Curl, Cherry Dickinson. Barbara Dillman, Phyllis Planigan, Delores Garrett, Alice Hamelin, Helen Hines, Betty Hott, Clyta Kelsey, Florence Lee. Lorene Montgomerey, Barbara Redens, Pearlie Roberts, Betty Watson, Sonna Lee Williams, Barbara Williamson, Lois Williamson, and Norma Wilson. The activities of the Reserves emphasized the War effort and included the collecting and turning in of old keys, gathering of old and cracked records, and the taking care of children Whose parents were engaged in War work. They helped roll bandages at the Red Cross, packaging for the Russian war relief, made scrap books for distribution at service hospitals, and sold defense stamps and bonds at local theaters. In addition, the group played Santa Claus to the children at Huling Home, providing a gift for each of the youngsters there. The social activities include a pot luck at the YWCA, a recognition service with the installation of oilicers, a mother and daughter tea, and the awarding of a service ring ceremony. The code of the girl reserve is: gracious in manner, impartial in manner, ready for service, seeing the beautiful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, victorious over self, ever dependable, and sincere at all times. 120 The Maroon Front row-Lorraine Holleman, Ellcnora Bryant, Mary Hyatt, Patricia Delaney, Betty Hart, Clara Oliger.

Home Ee Club For eighteen consecutive years, students enrolled in the home economics courses have been extended an invitation to enroll in the Home Et club. And throughout that time, membership in the club has always stood at the top with young women interested in home making prob- lems, bound together in an organization that offers both ideal training and companionship. The club, afliliated with state and national organizations, has for its aims: the develop- ment of a better spirit of cooperation among the girls, the providing of an opportunity for members to carry responsibilities and to develop good leadership: to cooperate with the school and community organizations in worthwhile projects: and to acquaint the school. home and community with the work of the home economics department. Requirements demanded of the club and manner of completion during the year included: earning money to carry on the club's activities, accomplished by sale of Christmas cards and sponsoring two school hops: planning of a full year's program: sponsoring a community proj- ect, with the club making-housewifery kits and apron bags for men in the service: fulfilling of a good deed. performed by making of cookies for the local USO: presenting of an assem- bly program, carried out this year with the showing of a special movie on flower arrangement and a talk on nutrition: taking part in a district project, performed by editing one edition of the newspaper, and entertaining the district conference: sending of a delegate to the state club camp. with Jane Ann and Ruth Cain going as the local club's delegates: and the keeping of a scrap book through the year, with the entry winning second place in state competition. Social activities included a spring breakfast, dinner party, St. Patrick's party, and party hostess to the Urbana club. The Maroon 121 Wig and Paint Historians may emphasize the academic progress+and other colorless details incident to school life in 1944-45-but the graduating class, the juniors and sophomores will certainly remember the year as one in which the dramatic stars twinkled brightest at Champaign senior high school. Officers who served the club were three members of the senior class, Barbara Patterson, president: Jeanne Potter, secretary, and Nancy Holmes, treasurer: and one junior, Jane Nelson, who was vice-president. Members of the club were: Robin Amsbary. Warwick Brown, Alice Chapman, Katherine Dempsey, Betty Eagan. Jean Geisler, Melba Greenman, Carol Hayes, Margaret Hayes, Charlotte Keck.
