Committee I Citizenship: to promote a more perfect union of home, church, and school is the theme of our Parent-Teacher Association this year. Meetings are organized and activities are centered around this objective. Members of the community, parents, teachers, and students take part in the programs and plans. This planning and working together help to bring about a clear conception of the relationship of one group to another. Through a common understanding, hopes are realized and ideals upheld. Cooperation is an economic necessity as well as a civic necessity. gfabluated . . .

Education can help to clarify the nature and goals of democracy. It can portray the American Dream of a nation with liberty, justice, and opportunity for all in the broad sweep of history from the time of the nation's founders. It can promote understanding of the civil liberties and the political institutions through which the democratic ideal finds expression. It can focus the searchlight of free and constructive inquiry cn those economic and .social problems, which, if allowed to remain un- solved, threaten to disintegrate democracy from within. It can confirm that faith in the worth and improvability of each indi- vidual which is the basic tenet cf democracy. It can provide opportunities to live democracy, in the school and the home, in the workshop and the market place. Slogans, rituals, and ap- peals to emotion are not enough. Knowledge, reflection, and the master teacher, experience, are essential tc moral defense. efffducational Policies Commission.

C QQCH CRANE IZIJUHAHS ' Inaugurating the 1940 football season, the mighty Crane Cougars completely dominated and overwhelmed a valiant but small McKinley squad 52-O. Capt. Kulik and Swirsky led the Cougar attack with two touchdowns apiece . . . After a slow start the Cougars came to life and ran up another tremendous score, trim- ming the Kelvyn Park Panthers 38-6. Mike Yergovich, Crane's brilliant pas- ser, headed the Cougar attack with two touchdown passes . . . Playing before a capacity crowd, in what proved to be the most thrilling game of the season, the Cougars met their traditional rivals, the Austin Tigers, and fought to a 13-13 tie. The Cougar scores came as a result of a 60 yd. run by Yergovich two minutes after the kickoff and a pass from Yergo- Z-l MIGHTY TEA vich to Porcelli later in the third quarter. Niedziela and Peacock were the bulwarks of Crane's line . . . Encountering Shurz, a new aggregation from the North Section, for the first time in a league game, the Red and Blue eleven suffered their second tie of the current season. After the Bull- dogs tallied in the first quarter, Swirsky scored on an 8 yd. smash off tackle, and LaCognato converted to tie the score . . . Led by Hal Swirsky and Zeke LaCog- nato, the mighty Cougars, scoring in every quarter, trampled a surprised Steinmetz eleven 26-6. Swirsky returned a punt 80 yds. and scored on a pass from LaCognato to lead Crane's scoring . . . The Cougar eleven reached their season's peak as they beat the Marshall Orioles 26-0 in their love tilt under the lights. Despite the handicap of a muddy field the Cougars worked with machine-like precision to completely be- wilder the Marshallites. LaCognato scored twice, while Fitzpatrick and Pancotto crossed the line once . . . Culminating a most successful season, the Red and Blue eleven beat a surprisingly strong Foreman eleven 27-12. Swirsky and Kulik regis- tered the first two scores. Most of the second half was played by boys who will formulate next year's varsity squad: Cic- cone and Maurer concluded the scoring.

The Cougars led at the half by six points, but the re- moval of 4 of Crane's players out of the first team due to fouls hampered them, and they were unable to exhibit their famous last minute driving punch. Zuber of Crane led his team in scoring with 4 points. Crane next met Mediil and defeated the Medillites by an overwhelming score of 58-18. Every player partook in this game. Zuber again led the scoring. amassing a total of 23 points. He was followed by Tepperman and Matters, putting in 8 and 7 points respectively. Crane's third league game led to defeat, with the Austin Maroons whipping a hard fighting Cougar quintet, the score reading 31-17 at the end of the 4th quarter. The Austin five, led by Felt, their star center, registered the first point of the game and from then on the Austinites were never outdistanced. Tues., Ian. 28, found the Cougars battling the Foreman five, which turned out to be another heart- breaker for Crane's team. The Foreman quintet easily vanquished the Cougars 45-25. However, this didn't let down the boys from Crane as they subdued a mediocre Kelvyn Park quintet 46-31. The starting lineup for this game was Capt. Wieszczk, Dobranski, Zuber, Mazur and Troop. The Cougars next encountered McKinley on the latter's hardwood and defeated the McKinley five 40-26. Fine defensive and offensive playing was shown on the part of Begun and Zuber. In the 7th tilt of the season, Wells invaded Crane on Fri.. Feb. 14, only to be turned back by a 32-29 score. This was the hardest fought and most exciting game of the season for the Craneites. Manny Begun and Whitey Zuber were the leading scorers of Crane's team with 8 points apiece. Tuley succumbed to the fighting Cougar heavies 45-33. Tuley jumped to a four point lead at the start of the game but the Cougars overwhelmed them with a splurge of four buckets, one by Begun and 3 by Zuber. The high scorer for Crane was Zuber with 7 ringers and 4 free throws. With a final 42-22 victory over the Washburne quintet, the Cougars earned the right for a playoff berth with Roosevelt, North Section Champs. Zuber once more dominated the scoring with 7 baskets and 3 free throws, and was followed by Mazur and Do- branski, each registering 6 points, Page 80 SENIORS Front Row: Estrin, Begun, Ma zur.

FILLED SEI-l5ll JUNIORS I The Crane lights opened the 1941 season on the Marshall hardwood, only to be set back by last year's champs 48-33. Crane took the lead at the start of the game, but were soon halted by the sharp- shooting of two of Marshall's stars, Acker and Eisen- stein. Coriglione and Puglise of Crane registered 8 points apiece. On Tues.. Ian. 14, the Cougars traveled to Medill and defeated the Medillites 32-21. The Crane lights jumped to an early lead, and from then on domi- nated the scoring. Coriglione captured scoring honors with 11 points. He was closely followed by Blasucci with 3 ringers and 2 free throws. The Tech lights were set back once more when Austin in a closely fought battle, defeated Crane 34-28, The Cougars came to within 2 points of the Maroons who had led throughout the game, but were soon stopped as the Austin defense clicked perfectly. Coriglione again led in scoring for the Red and Blue lights chalking up 8 points. Crane's second victim was Foreman, as the latter succumbed to the mighty Cougar lights 47-28. This being the last game of the season for Capt. Puglise. he went on a rampage scoring 12 points. But once again Coriglione came out on top in scoring honors with 8 baskets and 3 free throws. Chalking up another victory to their name, the Cougar lights played host to a McKinley quintet, and turned them back on their heels by a score of 36-27. Crane scored 14 points in the first quarter to Mc- Kinley's 4, and from then on the Cougars were always in the lead. Bachta and Mruk were the lead- ing scorers for Crane with ll and B points respec- tively. The mighty Cougars won their 3rd game in a row as they defeated a fighting aggregation from Kelvyn Park 51-47. The Red G Blue lights played superb offensive basketball, connecting with many hook shots and long shots. On Tues., Feb. 18, the Cougars traveled to Wells and were surprisingly set back 31-12. The Red 6 Blue lights were unable to find the elusive hoop, gs! the Wells lights operated on a perfect defense. .. Tuley was the cause of Crane's 4th defeat of the season as the former defeated the Cougar quintet 55-28. The Tuley five led at the lst quarter 10-3, and were never overcome. Mruk of Crane chalkgii up 4 ringers and 2 free throws for top honors-ink4scoring. By defeating Washburne 40-32 at Crane, the Iuniors climaxed their basketball season with a record of 5 victories and 4 defeat . tThe Craneites outscored the Washburne five in the lst and 4th quarters with Beard leading that ttackt registering 15 points, he was closemf 'lfvyed byx Coriglione with 10 points.

Merkel, the Crane swimming team enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in Crane's history, placing second in the state and city meets, just barely losing out to a powerful Lane Tech aggregation.

Bringing the season to a successful close the Crane Mermen went out and defeated a hard fighting Steinmetz team, the Irs. winning 33-27 and the Srs. 43-25.

WHERE TU BUYS, S EEESS , l Rated as one of the most formidable track teams in Chicago, the Ir. and Sr. runners, under the coaching of Mr. Moore, began their indoor season in what seemed a championship pace by taking in their stride all their scheduled dual meets. The city meet proved that all previous predic- tions were wrong as the Irs, G Srs. placed 3rd and 7th with 15 and 10 points respectively. However, there were a few Cougars who came back with laurel wreaths irom the city meet. They were Roman Barski, high point man of the Irs., who placed 4th in the 60 yd. dash, and Ioe Hayer, 8 lb. shot put champ, with a heave of 46 ft. 712 in. Smashing the 10 year old 660 yd. record oft 1:29.1, Sam Gibellina broke the tape with an un- preceded time of 1:28,5. The Srs. also have a little bragging alloted to them as George Zeke La Cognato won the 12 lb. shot put championship with a throwing distance of 48 ft. 2 in. Tony D'Amore broke Crane's old mile record of 5110.8 by a record run of 5207.8 placing 3rd in the city meet. The 880 relay composed of Ioe Fricilone. Iulius Blair, Sid Dernsetz, and Mort Feingold, took fifth place in the meet. l Garnering 119 points out of a possible 155, the Crane fencing team completed its 1941 season by placing fifth in the annual City meet at the Uni- versity of Chicago fieldhouse, Saturday, April 12. The squad consisted of Capt. Mezzey, Iohnny Lundstrom, Irwin Kaplan and Walter Zabolotsky, with Dominic Dimeo as an alternate. Capt. Mezzey earned the number one position in the City meet, winning five out of 8 bouts and tallying 36 out of a possible 40 points.

OCCQI' . . . IIITY AND IIIJUNTY CHAMPS I By defeating a formidable Kelly squad 4-3 for the City Championship, and then going on to defeat Oak Park, one of the best teams in the state, by a score of 3-O for the County Championship, the Crane Tech soccer team under the able tutelage of Coach lulian Steinmitz, terminated the 1940-41 season very suc- cessfully. During this period of encounters with the city's and county's best teams, Crane established itself as one of the foremost soccer squads in Cranes history. ln their first encounter of the season. Crane tied Kelly O-0, in the first of three straight tie games. The others were with Hyde Park, 2-2, and Lane, O-O. However, as the season progressed, Crane rose out of its tie-rut, and finally broke into the winning col- umn by whipping Manley, 5-0, with some fine de- fensive playing by Sol and Yale Lederman. Still climbing, and highly elated over the victory of Manley, the squad went out and swamped Von Steuben by the score of 12-0. ln their next tilt, Crane barely eked out a 4-2 vic- tory as they quenched a drive by an underraiegl, spirited Amundsen squad. Still pushing over all opponents, Crane, in their next game humbled a powerful Schurz team to the tune of 4-O, with superb playing on the part of Capt. Phil Greenspan, who proved to be a mainstay during the entire soccer season. ln the last and crucial league contest of the sea- son, which was the deciding game for the City Cham- pionship playoff, the Cougars went out and defeated a powerful Tilden squad 4-O. This game saw some fine playing by Ioey Morgenstern, who proved to be a valuable asset to the team. Page H3 A- L. - fd. - - 4 BASEBALL TEAM TENNIS TEAM First Row: Mateja, Indelli, Skizas.

PHUSPEETI E LL-ST HS l Prospects for a 1941 championship baseball team is exceedingly bright as this publication goes to press, Coach Edelcup will have no difficulty in choosing his first team due to the return of nine lettermen composed of Capt. Tarter, Dobranski. Wiesczcyk, Taliani, Poltarak, Dodaro, Kuta, Durkin and Koscilnak. In their first two tilts the Red 6 Blue baseballers swamped Wells and Austin by scores of l0-0 and 12-0 respectively. Kuta, Crane's star pitcher, allowed only one hit in the Wells game, thus being rated as one of the best hurlers in the city. Krywiec, rated as the number two pitcher on Crane's team, is expected to help the Cougars in their championship drive. Benny Migdow won second place for Crane in the State meet by winning the Illinois single champion- ship. He easily subdued his opponents, Marx of Iacksonville, 6-O, 6-l in the quarter-finals, Knox of Oak Park, 6-3, 6-2 in the semi-finals, and Daly of Evanston 6-l, 6-2 in the finals. Capt. Glickman, the other Chicago single player in the State meet, was eliminated in the quarter finals by Iohnson of Harrisburg 6-3, 6-2. The doubles team, consisting of Beckman and Weiss, also qualified in this meet but were set back in their first match by a strong Danville team 6-3, 6-4. The Cougars fine showing in the State meet puts them in a fine position for a city championship. The alternates on the team are: Garfield, Lasser, Fine, Salpos, and Sandler. rerifbng anal ggmnafifica . . . MIGHTY BU E EH SHEHS l After a hard fought schedule. the limb twisters, under the expert leadership of Coach Goodheart, managed to reach the finals only to lose the city title to Tilden Tech. In the Times Individual Cham- pionship Meet, Co-Capt. Louis Potilechio and Bruno Niedziela took championships in the 155 lb. and heavyweight divisions respectively. The bone-crushers will lose two valuable men in the persons of both Co-Capt., Louis Potilechio in the 155 lb. class, and Walter Britt in the 135 lb. division. In view of its exceptional consistent performance, the wrestling team has been justly rated one of the best squads at Crane in recent years. I Under the supervision of Coach Anton I. Novak, the gymnasts did exceptionally well in their city competition, placing a fair sixth. This season the Cougar squad consisted of live intermediates and not less than twenty novices. Ot the novices, Stanley Kleczcs was high point man with a total of 66 points. Stanley, by way of his points, is entitled to the captain's letter. The two high point men for the intermediates were Iames Sroboda and Irving Bilow, with scores of 63341 and 63 respectively. This year a new system was enforced and chris- tened at the city meet. The new system requires that the novices, intermediates and seniors points added together determine the teams standing.

After agonizing minutes Mr. Kehoe steps in with flushed face waving the 1941 Science and Craft Yearbook. With a slow exhaling of breaths and a general collapsing into awaiting arms, the literary staff congratulates the business staff, who in turn pat the backs of the sport staff. Then with measured calmness Koh yeahll they examine the product of one Whole year's hard work. The gleam in their eyes becomes brighter and more intense. Yessiree, that's our book. Their backs become straighter and heads go up higher. Who said we couldn't beat last year's book? Here's our an- swer. Now to see why the boys take such a pride in their accomplishment. Only a man who knows the affection aroused for an undertaking in which he participated for a whole year, can truly understand the boy's feelings. They had written, organ- ized and wracked their brains so that a newer, finer and better year book be published. The work involved in such a publication is enormous as can be seen. First a dummy is made, showing all features of the book in a rough layout. The greatest problem to overcome is to be original. Something new is always re- quired in new books. Pictures are taken, articles are written, cartoons are drawn, ideas are submitted and rejected, head- ache pill sales increase and all this lasts two endless semesters. Finally all mate- rial is sent to the engravers and then to the presses. The entire staff consists of approxi- mately thirty-five or more boys, each best suited to his staff. There are three staffs: literary, business and sports, each headed by its individual editors. The whole staff is under the guidance of the editorein-chief, Raymond Madallozzo. The literary editor is Pat Settanni, the feature editor, Ted Marzec, and the sports editor is Lionel Shapiro. Mr. Pat Kehoe as advisor to the Science and Craft has done wonders for it. So you see before you the handiwork of your own classmates-boys with an ambition to write and an ambition to cre- ateYYou can be sure it is worthy of their sacrifice. f7Ae staff LITERARY AND SPORTS STAFF . . .

Ze Ckronic e LE DI li Crane Tech Chronicle l Under the very able supervision of Miss Mills, the assistance of the editorial, business, and print- ing staffs, combined with the whole-hearted co- operation of the Crane students, the Crane Tech Chronicle, Written and printed by, for and about boys, has bounded ahead to new heights and glory. The daily newspaper has one of the best reputations as a high school daily in the nation. That indeed. is an accomplishment worth boasting of, considering the vast number of high schools in the United States. The Chronicle has recently been awarded Inter- national Honors by the National Scholastic, a gold medal by placing first in the Quill and Scroll, and All American first rating by the Columbian Press Association. These mentioned are only a few of the great many presentations made by nationally famous organizations which are most critical in their judgments and which are composed of per- sonages recognized as eminent in the field of journalism. To receive a high rating is an honor we can well be proud of. The Crane Tech Chronicle has not been bestowed these gratifying decisions without reason. It has given marvelous opportunity to aspiring young journalists who have the ambition to practice and at the same time gain essential experience, There are numerous positions for these boys on the edi- torial staff of the newspaper. Who knows but that someday a second William Hearst or McCormick will thank his stars for getting a start on the Chronicle Daily. Iournalistic abilities are not the only requirements for staff members. There is also a place for a boy H IGH SIIHIIUL ll ILY with business inclinations on the advertising, sales, and general business staff. Last but not least the printing staff, Their job is to form the type on the linotype machines, set- ting up the lay-outs as arranged by the editorial staff, print and distribute to the eagerly awaiting subscribers, the hot-off-the-press copy. The lino- typists, compositors and pressmen are the best in the school, chosen especially for their ability. They too may become sufficiently adept at these tasks to warrant a safe future in the professional world. The Crane Tech Chronicle is an excellent example of the Democracy present in the United States. Though under school supervision the staff has been allowed to use their own judgment in printing what may be deemed advisable. Thus, the ever impor- tant freedom of the press, is especially stressed, Now to see why the Chronicle has been so well received and supported not only bv the school members but also the faculty, first of all, it lives up to its motto, Written and Printed by, for, and about Boys, by having its entire staff consist of boys, printed for the boys to enjoy and recounting incidents concerning those same boys which makes it all the more engaging to the reader. So interest- ing has it been that in the past semester despite a sharp decrease in student enrollment in the school. its subscriptions have risen 22 more hundred per- cent sections than that of the previous semester. The total number of subscriptions was unofficially set at 2,7UU, the largest in the history of the Crane Tech Chronicle. This is partly due to the lengthened deadline for subscription fee. But the recent Chron- icle movie is considered to be largely responsible for the greater part of the increase. N SEPT FEB , '40 FEB.-JUNE, '41 Seated Angelini, Foqelson, Babrick.

Butler, the Crane Band has led many a Pi.O.T.C. regiment on to glory and fame. He has taught many Craneites how to play mu- sical instruments and to perform with almost clock work perfection. In the past three years the band has gained great popu- larity with the Crane student body and is ever present at Pep assemblies, R.O.T.C. exercises and Football games, The music produced by this organization is rehearsed in a room known by everyone as the Pent House or to the Freshies, the fifth floor. The members of this group will long remember the help- ful advice obtained from fellow musicians and Capt. Butler. who for a number of years was a member of the U. S: Army Band. A x J' Pane 0I CA05tI CL . . . SUPPLYINE MUSIC PUB SIIIIIAL EVENTS ' Organized some twenty years ago, the Crane Orchestra consists of fifty players and is directed by Mr. Lewys Thomas, who is considered one of the best music instructors in the Chicago school system. In the past thirteen years, Mr. Thomas has taught scores of Craneites to play string instruments for orchestra use. In return for his endeavor, he has been rewarded with mas- ter musicians and music not only pleasing to the ear but also pleasant to the soul. The orchestra has entertained at many P.T.A. meetings, assemblies, and has assisted in several successful operettas. Entering all of the city-wide music contests in the last few years, the orchestra has come away with top honors. Their success is due to the fact that the boys take an active interest in their work and practice hard and long to produce fine music.

H. Auto I A wise step was taken by these boys when they enrolled in the S. H. Auto course. With all the autos in this country some of them are sure to need repairs and the S. H. Auto mechanics will be on hand. These boys spend four periods of each day at their chosen vocation under the supervision of Mr. Cerveny. S. H. Mach I These ambitious Craneites who intend to make a machine shop their future home should be thank- ful to the vocational system introduced at Crane in 1937. With Mr. Duggan as their instructor, we are positive they will succeed when they leave Crane to take up their career as machinists. S. H. Foundry I Spending double time in shops and the rest of the day at related subjects, these lads will emerge the best in their field as foundrymen. They will be required to make complicated molds and cast- ings for commercial and national defense purposes. These students will appreciate the encouragement and advice given them by Mr. Davis when they enter the industrial world. 8- C. REP. Mr. Kehoe Boss, Swierczeirski.

Kreamer and Mr. S. C. Peters. S. 8. C. Agents I These are the boys who stimulate interest and sales for the year book. They are the ones who distribute pledge cards and collect money for Science and Crafts. These boys devote their time without receiving any monetary compensation and so de- serve many thanks. Fall Agents I Under the guidance of Miss Margaret Mills and the Chronicle business manager, the agents have proved themselves to be an asset to the Chronicle and its stafl. Their duties consist mainly of the dis- tribution of the Chronicle and the collecting of subscription money. k9.6fl-l cY----- Owls Honor Society I EXTRA!! Crane students are taking home their books and studying. Why? So they can get a straight which is the requirement for member- ship in the Owls. The honor of teaching after school classes under the able guidance of Mrs. Littleton is bestowed upon every member of the Owls Honor Society. N. H. S. I To gain entrance in the National Honor Society a student must first prove that he is scholastically inclined, possessor of an excellent character, an industrious student and willing to be cooperative at all times. Only those students who are in their junior or senior year are eligible for membership in this fine organization which is under the able guidance of Mr. Witte. Accordion Club I Those sweet and tuneful accordion sounds that are floating around the halls of Crane are not Senor Carmel1o's, but those of our own accordion club. Aside from serenading Miss Fornaciari, their sponsor, they play for social affairs and parties.

Crane Singers I Do you remember walking through the halls listening to that beautiful music Tuesday and Thursday after school? That was the Singers in action. They are the cream of the musical crop of Crane, and have served as the backbone of every important musical event in Crane. Under the able leadership of Mr. Thomas, the boys have carried away laurels as the best male chorus in the city. Crane Chorus I These hard working boys are responsible for the operettas put on in Bartholf Hall. They are embryonic music lovers who have joined Mr. Thom- as's music class because they like music and not the credit. The nightingales with the help of the Singers also enter Choral competitions. fAnd they win 'em too.l WOM Officers I To these smiling lads goes the laurels for guid- ing the class of '40lz to success. During a time which looked as black as could be, this crew of officers stepped in and almost miraculously lifted the class from the depths of despair to the highest peak of financial success.

Their duty is to keep the lunchroom clean before, during, and after the lunch period. They, like the hallguards, have their own captains and lieutenants to keep tabs on the guard's activities. Genial M. Garo is the spon- sor of the lunchguards. Quill 8 Scroll I Crane's chapter of the Quill and Scroll, an inter- national honorary society for high school journa- lists, has recently taken the name of Louis Zara, a former alumnus who is well known in the literary world. The sole purpose of the organization is to en- courage the journalistic ability of high school students. To qualify for membership, a student must have twenty-five inches of printed material in a Crane publication and a scholastic average of E or better. Miss Mills is the club sponsor. Class of '41 I With only a handful of energetic students, the class of '41 proved that no task was too difficult to overcome. The main events of the semester were the Fare- well Prom and the Dinner Dance, which were ace complished only through the diligent work of the committees and Mr. Rickhoff, the class sponsor, It must not be forgotten that it was the president and Mr. Rickhoff who kept up the spirit of the class. Pen 8 Wig I These fellows are members of one of the oldest clubs in Crane. The club's chief activity is to com- pete in the Annual Radio Guild. The winning school puts on a skit over local radio stations. This year's skit was put on over Crane's own radio station, WCTH, during Club Guild Day. Mr. Herman Rein- stein is the guiding hand of this club. '42' 3 Officers I Organizing in their l-A semester the class of '42l2 is destined to succeed in their coming affairs. As yet, the boys haven't had any social affairs due to the third year requirement. At present the class is 1007 with their class dues, which is one of the important factors for holding a successful affair. Mr. Wallace, mechani- cal drawing instructor, is sponsor of the class. R.O. T.C'. Officers Club I Only officers of the Crane R.O,T.C. unit who have excelled in their scholastic training are eligible for membership in the Officers Honor Society. With the support of the entire R,O.T.C. unit, the annual Military Ball is presented by the members of this club. Sgt. Dennison, military instructor, is the sponsor of this club. 4 2 va o F FIC E R s , L 1'qi,.:Qff T , Mr. Salter if ll if Front How: Barsky, Ron' carati, Thompson, Mr. 'U S a l t e r, Schavietello, Yale.

These boys are lOO'f in everything. They were even 1007 in the turnout for this picture. Spring Agents I As the unsung laborers of the Chronicle business staff, these boys act as their respective division's representative in carrying out business dealings with the Crane Daily. Their task is to collect sub- scription money and distribute the paper to the subscribers. Slide Rule 8. Math Club I With the aid of their Slide Rules and Mrs. Spring- er's knowledge our math wizards are developing theories in the Math Club that will make Einstein's theory of relativity look like simple algebra. These brain sessions take place every Monday at 3:00 P. M. Club Guild I lt can be truthfully said that the Club Guild is the best organization in the school. The reason is that the members are presidents of other clubs. Under the direction of Miss Eddy, its sponsor, the Guild puts on an annual Inter-club day program which is enthusiastically accepted by the students. Big Brothers Club I Need a helping hand? Need advice concerning school problems?, well, consult a Big Brother. This organization is composed of students who have not been tardy or absent for three semesters, and scholastically in the upper third of their class. Assigned a freshman section, each member is re- quired to talk before the class at least once every week about school activities and organizations, The able and willing sponsor of this club is Mr. Werner, who has helped many boys to find their place in the community and the industrial world of today. Zoa-Phyto I The Zoa-Phyta Club, which formerly covered only the subject of Biology, has widened its scope to include chemistry and physics. The club is com- posed of different committees which delve into the intricacies of the sciences. Mr, Dunn, the club's sponsor for more than a decade, answers all the questions that trouble the Zoa-Phytes. f f 100927 CHRONICLE AGENTS Miss Mills zula, Kaplan, Chlttle, Esposito, Shapiro.

Perfection in parading, at the rifle range, or at drill is not only a must, in the R.O.T.C., but a heritage. It is one of the iirst of its kind to be organized in Chicago and has consistently retained a position of high rank among the nation's best high schools. It has al- ways been considered among the leading units oi the city. This is evident in the number of awards pre- sented it for drill and marksmanship, These awards form a goodly portion ot the trophies adorning Crane's main entrance. At the Annual Inspections of the citys ROTC units Crane has very often come up at top and is expected to this year again In 1939 placing second the regi ment was presented with a set ot the Nation s colors and Regimental colors a high honor indeed It has received Honor School ratings in 192124253637 and 1939 and a placque from William Randolph Hearst to the ritle team for second place in the sixth corps area Honors are not the primary interest ot the ROTC Its purpose is to build sound minds and bodies and to teach the principles of good citizenship to the cadets so that they may be an asset to their communities in later lite This tact is well justified when one sees the courteous and respectful bearings of its members from privates to Lieutenant Colonel. Their training stresses civic mindedness and does it well. This diiticult task is the responsibility of the R.O.T.C.'s military instructors, Sergeant V. A. Dennison and Ser- geant E. McDaniels. The former came to Crane in the early part of October 1940, transferred irom Morgan Park High School. Previous to that he had been a Sergeant in the 14th Cavalry of the Regular Army. The latter had been an active member of the Znd ln- tantry and came from Hyde Park. ' J , f. . . 1 ,.-. I I F E . ' V. , .I . . h ' -4 1' '. I o f. .. 1. 1 :G ' L., .F n . . .-,, 3 f ' ' 1 0 1 . 1 .

Instead of being wasteful, as is believed by many, the Corps plays an important part in the school curriculum, due to the fact that it aids in producing better and more useful American citizens - morally, mentally, and physically--which is a distinct national asset.

II. The rifle corp ot Crane R.O.T.C. must not be neglected. Adludged superior in city ratings, it is under command of Capt. Tobleck, its best marks- rnan. Some of its better sharpshooters are Major Brown, Second Lieutenant King and Sgt. Toblecl: The team is sure of gaining high honors this year The intriguing influence has caused a larger number than ever before to enlist in the R.O.T.C this semester. Today 49-1 cadets are enrolled and more are sure to come next year, This increase has been noticeable every year and so is not very surprising. These young men, examples of the advantages of a military training, are a good rea- son tor the belief that they are material to be lineaded into the future leaders of tomorrow. age me mln, M . ..

' In 1939 Sgt. William F. Woods, head of the Crane R.O.T.C. unit, presented the coveted crown to Miss Garnell Atkins, chosen through a Chronicle sponsored contest. As befits such an important personage, Miss Crane had Miss Shir- ley Lieberman and Miss Estelle Dobkins as Ladies-in-waiting. The affair was held at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. The following year, 1940, Crane staged its Military Ball at the Tower Club, and the music was supplied by that well known maestro, Harvey Clyde. After scanning through hundreds of photographs handed in by the Crane student body, the faculty judges chose Miss Mildred Gardner to reign as Queen of the Ball. 4 igw v Q? 6 I pi in fi av i bv su., 'Sf' W ' ks., E V V: ' 4' , i' V' I ' Vs Q I 1' 4 Z W M A wx f.
