He has served well as our fourth president. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has completed its fifth year of representing the students in the government of the school under the guidance of Miss Donahoe. their adviser. This year the third trip to Cicero was made where the Northeast District of the Illinois As- sociation of Student Councils brought high honors to our school. Dale Patterson was chosen presi- dent of this large body of student governments. As well as receiving the signal honor of having a member of our own Stud-ent Council chosen as president, the offer to have the next convention in D. T. H. S. was accepted. Discussion groups were attended by the coun- cil members in which many new ideas and answers to old and new problems of student governments were presented. One of the new projects for the year was a checkroom service for the basketball tournaments at the college in December. The goal of the Student Council this year was to accomplish one project a month. They did well in arriving at this goal and they are hoping that the next council will do an even better job of stu- dent government. Row I: I. Parke, D. Bauchle, I. Oderkirk, B. Ellis, G. Hunt, I.

SOPHOIVIORES One hundred and sixty-five sophomores began their sec- ond year of high school with high ideals and ambitions, many of which were realized within the year. With school work, and various fun-packed activities the second year sped by. Soon dreams of participating in exclus- ively upper-class activities will become a reality. While looking forward is fun, the anticipation of the fu- ture does not dim the pleasure of those never-to-be-forgot ten fresh-soph activities. Diligent students have delved into their school work vig- orously with the result that many have claimed spots on the Honor Rolls. Several students have succeeded in keeping on the Honor Roll the entire year.

Few students realize the work involved in the vari- ous phases of putting out each issue. Assignments are made by the edi- tor who generally has the full respon- sibility for seeing that all material meets the deadline. All copy is turned in to be proof-read and typed. Upon return from the printers, the galleys are put on the dummy sheets by the make-up staff and the paper is put to bed. An opportunity to express oneself in creative writing, and a chance to learn the various skills of interview- ing, straight news coverage, sports writing, features, and advertising are offered in the journalism class. This year's staff consists of eleven students, three of whom are editors, and a supervisor, Miss Ely, who has done a splendid job, sponsoring the paper. Several issues were based on sea- sonal themes, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. Many of the other issues were partly devoted to current activities such as athletic tournaments, honor roll, and special news events deserving the space. All the high ideals set by the can- nons of the press are followed ear- nestly bythe Barblet staff, which will always continue to back the school and the standards of education and morals which it proudly hails.

VARSITY FOOTBALL IN REVIEW DeKalb O Sycamore O DeKalb uncorked their I9-46 sea- son in a scorless deadlock with their rival opponents, Sycamore. Neither team threatened to score and much of the action took place in mid-field area. Although the game had all the ear marks of the initial contest of the year, both teams gave indications of a prosperous season. DeKalb O West Aurora Zl Still showing signs of pre-season weaknesses, an underdog DeKalb team was host to the strong Aurora Hawks, who shut out the Barbs Zl-O. Although DeKalb was on the short end of the tally, the game saw DeKalb playing heads-up ball against the 'iBig Eight outfit and hopes were high for a strong conference machine. DeKalb O Sterling 7 Starting the i946 Conference schedule the Barbs traveled to Ster- ling to battle the titleholders of the i945 season. With a lightning-like attack the Sterling outfit scored dur- ing the first few minutes of play. The Barbs returned the battle with no success and the final whistle found them on the short end of a 7-O score. DeKalb O Ottawa 42 Handicapped by injuries the Barbs entertained the victory-mind- ed Ottawa Pirates on October ll. Outweighed but never outfought by the aggressive Ottawa team the Barbs were defeated by a score of 42-O. , -2-W GROUP l: R. Sanderson, P. Peterson, R. Barr, D. Kyler, D. Stenstrom, H. Crisler, A.

DeKalb l3 Geneseo 26 Friday, October eighteenth, found the Barbs traveling to Ceneseo, to face a team not on the l945 schedule. At half-time DeKalb was on the short end of the ZO-O score. How- ever, during the final half the Barbs fired back with two scores and a con- version only to meet a counter-attack for one touchdown. The final score placed C-eneseo on top of a 26-13 count. DeKalb O Spring Valley l2 Fired with enthusiasm, a badly crippled but highly spirited DeKalb team encountered a thus far unscored upon Hall Township team. ln their best showing up to that time, the outsized Barbs struggled valiantly but were unable to halt the high-powered Redmen from taking a l2 - O win. Both touchdowns oc- curred in the second and fourth quar- ters, neither conversion succeeded. DeKalb l3 Dixon 6 On Friday night, November l, the Barbs collected their first conference win by upsetting the Dixon Dukes by the score of l3-6. A great game was played by both teams. This win dis- played a new spirit in the team which was more like a fighting DeKalb team. DeKalb 3l Rock Falls l3 Reforming their ranks into an in- destructible machine the Barbs has- tened to counter a first quarter score shoved across by the Rockets, Attired in their new nylon uniforms, DeKalb made a pleasurable showing to DeKalb fans as they pounded over the Rock Fall's defense to the tune of a 3l-l3 score. DeKalb scored once in the first, second and fourth periods and twice in the third. Rock Falls scored once more by a long pass in the fourth quarter. Page 55 gawk-Sciphi fmfzwience GROUP Z-Row l: j.

FROSH-SOPH RECORD DeKalb O West Aurora O Opening action with West Aurora the Frosh-Soph battled to a stalemate. The DeKalb team displayed good of- fensive and defensive ball. DeKalb i9 Rochelle O For the first victory of the season the Lightweights shut out Rochelle i9-O. Rochelle threatened only once but their attack was quickly nullified. DeKalb 20 Sterling 6 The Frosh-Soph eleven rolled over a strong Sterling outfit ZO-6. ln the last frame DeKalb's offense strength- ened and put the game on ice for the Barblets who came from behind to win. DeKalb O Ottawa 34 Ottawa's junior Varsity missed no opportunities and piled up five touch- downs and four conversions. The Ot- tawa gridders displayed a wide variety of scoring methods. DeKalb O Geneseo I4 Coach Charles Dayton's understud- ies were shut out at Geneseo by four- teen points. Geneseo broke loose early in the first quarter and again early in the third. DeKalb O Dixon O Battling to a scoreless tie, both De- Kalb and the junior Dukes staged most of their action in mid-field area. This contest showed little offensive work but displayed great defensive play. DeKalb 6 Rock Falls 20 Handicapped with a loss of several players the Barblets fell under a strong Rock Falls outfit ZO-6. The freshmen-sophomores finished their season with a loss but with high hopes for the next season. Page 56 fmpam Nw UML Za UMW Row I: C. Kittleson, C. Dertinger, V. Howe, C, Dayton. N.C.l.C.

To maintain a successful team there must be an efficient coaching staff. Although DeKalb didn't start going until late in the season, Coach Howe and his as- sistant coaches, Dertinger and Kittle- son, are to be congratulated on a job well done. The managers who were on the staff this year were Fred Felton, Wayne Osenberg, Roger Mobeck and Mike Mikez. OOO 75O 62.5 625 5OO 375 375 25O OOO Row I: A. Buchan, l. Christensen, R. Mobeck, W.

Meeting and conquering their an- cient rivals for the third time, DeKalb squelched a highly confident Syca- more team. ln the closest of the three contests DeKalb came out ahead 48- 35 In one of the most thrilling games, the Barbs defeated the Parkers by a two-point margin. The contest ended with the score 42-40. ln the initial game of their sched- uled season, the Barbs suffered de- feat at the hands of an already battle- seasoned Libertyville team by the margin of 39 to 30. Displaying a faltering defense, De- Kalb was caught off balance by a 'lhot Kirkland outfit. Kirkland seemed quite at home on the college floor and ended the contest with a 37 to 33 score in their favor. Winning their first victory DeKalb had little trouble in polishing off the Rochelle quintet, with a score of 5l to 42. Lifting the lid on the conference season, DeKalb trounced the Mendota squad by a score of SO-35. Working steadily and gaining a toe- hold in the second half by sharp re- bounding and aggressive defense, the Barbs defeated Taylorville Sl to 38. Traveling to East Moline, DeKalb seemed to be at a disadvantage in ac- curacy of shots. This cost DeKalb the game by a score of 36 to 29. The New Year's holiday seemed to affect the Barbs shooting and rebounding ability, thus losing to Monmouth by a score of 34 to 27. gawk-SWA4 fake B LZ Row l: lvl. Robertson, D. Boardman, 1. Hunt, N.

Meeting the conference champs away from home, DeKalb was nosed out of a one-point lead during the last four minutes of play to lose, 42-33. A constant vigil under the basket and an aggressive defense squelched the Dukes from Dixon, 56 to 52. Through grim determination, Cool shooting, and solid defensive play, the Barbs upset a highly rated Decatur team by a score of 48 to 35. Hannah starred by turning in a 33 point per- formance. With neither team displaying their best brand of ball the Barbs man- aged to trounce the Sycamore quin- tet in their first meeting by a score of 36 to 23. Although holding their own during the first half the Barbs couldn't contend with the inspired Elgin quin- tet by a 6l to 36 score. Collecting an easy conference vic- tory over a confident Sterling five the Barbs tallied 55 points to 39 boasted by Sterling. ln their first victory away from their home court, DeKalb tallied their second victory over Rochelle by 46 to 35. Sycamore's attempt to overpower the Barb quintet in the second meeting of the year ended with the DeKalb five well out in front 45-23. In a well-played, hard-fought game DeKalb defeated an aggressive Hall Township-team, on the home court, in a 5l -40 manner. Experiencing one of those inex- plainable off nights the Barbs suf- fered defeat at the hands of the tall Princeton outfit 42-33. DeKalb collected a well-earned 38- 33 victory from a fast-breaking, ag- gressive Ottawa team. only by display- ing a good, steady brand of ball.

The North Central Conference meet at Sterling was en- tered and the other two major events were the relays at Rockford and at lvlooseheart. The first contest of the current season was the annual inter- class relays in which members of each class participated against each other. As well as being a primary founda- tion for all other major sports, Track and Field events are builders of co- ordination. They also aid in the build- TRACK LETTERMEN OF i945-46 Row l: lSeatedl B.

By working out early in the fall un- til the weather became too severe, and starting out early in the spring, George Holderness, jack Nelson, Owen Math- re, and some of the other boys were able to do so well in this year's con- test. Our second annual inter-class track and field meet was held early in Apr- il. Speedsters and dubs alike popu- lated the track. C-irls and non-partic- ipating students thronged the edges of the field cheering their classes on to victory. A Z. .t. I 47?

These are but a few of the many and varied interests of the G. A. A. girls. When the autumn wind drives less hardy students indoors, members of the G. A. A. are still pur- suing an elusive hockey ball up and down the field, or kicking each other in the shins when they miss the speed ball. Miss Spickerman, adviser, is there to keep the games from be- coming too violent. All girls in G. A. A. work toward a goal-receiving the High State Award. This award is given only to a girl who is a senior and who has earned 2,000 points. Before the High State award come several other awards. The first of these are numerals. These require 600 points. Next is the school letter for which i200 points must be earn- ed. Third is the Low State Award. This is awarded only to juniors or sen- iors and requires i600 points. The highest honor a G. A. A. girl can receive is to have her name in- scribed on the G. A. A. Honor Cup. This honor is conferred only on senior girls who have been selected by their fellow club members as the best all- round girl, in sportsmanship, leader- ship and sports ability. The affairs of the club are managed by Miss Spickerman, three offcers and a council. jackie Holms is the presi- dent of the C-. A. A., with Frances Ziegler as secretary and Betty Died- rich as treasurer. The council is com- posed of the managers of the various sports. Members of the C. A. A. participate in many different sports. ln the fall, hockey, hiking, archery and speed ball are the main attractions. Winter sports include: basketball, volleyball, individual sports, bowling, and swim- ming. ln the spring hiking is resum- ed and softball and La Grosse are added. Page 66 Row l: N.

This num- ber is almost half of all the girls in school. The aims of the club are to pro- mote sportsmanship and school spirit, which the girls show not only by sit- ting in a group and cheering together at the games, but also by presenting pep meetings in school before each game. These pep meetings make the whole student body realize the mean- ing of school spirit more keenly. Mrs. McKinzie has done a wonder- ful job as club sponsor again this year. With the aid of the Pep Club Council she manages the business and social affairs of the club. Martha Self serves as president, Mary jordan as vice-pre- sident, Margaret jordan as secretary, Barbara Elliott as treasurer, Nancy Zulauf as publicity chairman, and Marian Murphy as social chairman.

These officers along with the six cheerleaders constitute the Pep Club Council. Each spring the Pep Club sponsors a banquet and dance honoring foot- ball, basketball, and track lettermen, and all boys who participated in sports during the year. On February 3, the club presented a Stunt Night, and invited every organization in school to participate. The final decision of the judges pre- sented the freshman class with first prize, sophomores with second, and juniors with third. Another event of the year was Heart Sister's week, held during the week preceding Valentine's Day. The climax of the year's activities was a picnic, held around the middle of May. This year's Pep Club activities were highly successful, and the aims of the Club were well fulfilled. Page 68 PEP CLUB GROUP l -Row l' M.

Nelson. Y-TEENS This year the Followers of the Cleam have a new name, Y-Teens, which was chosen for the high school group in order to conform with the National Y, W. C. A, The year was started with the freshman informal initiations, when the initiatiates wore-one bedroom slipper, one rubber boot, their skirts inside out and sweat shirts. They had their hair up in shower cap, carried books in a pail and sang songs for the cabinet members. In the fall the Father-Daughter Banquet was the first big event, and proved to be fun for the girls and their fathers. One of the outstanding successes of the year, sponsored by the Y-Teens, was the all-assembly response in con- tributing food, clothing, and money for oversea packages. The girls pack- ed, wrapped and sent many packages to England and Holland. The adviser is Miss Wentworth and the executive staff is composed of Margie Groves, president, Mary Ann Thornton, vice-president, Dianne Mathre, secretary, Monna Ingham, treasurer, Mary Ann Rasmusen, pro- gram chairman, and jane Smith as pianist. The other members of the Y- Teens Cabinet are: Ioan Nelson, Mary Lou Boardman, Barbara Elliot, Shirley Lyons, loAnne Harrison, Marcia Ter- williger, and Marilyn jones. On February 22, the Cherry Ball was the theme for the annual semi- formal. The music was furnished by the Artists of Swing. The World Day of Prayer and Holy Week services were conducted by the Y-Teens and Hi-Y. Near the end of the school year the girls gave a freshman party and also a tea for the seniors and women fac- ulty. 4 At the Mother-Daughter Banquet, the new officers for next year took their oath in an impressive candle light service.

The purpose of this club is to create good sportsmanship through- out the school and community. This is not easy to live up to but through hard work this goal has been achiev- ed. Under the direction of Mr. Kittle- son, the club has the possibility of growing into one of the largest clubs in the school. The six points of the Sportsman's Creed by which every true sportsman must abide are: I will buy my hunt- ing and fishing licenses, I will abide by the game and fish laws of the state, I will protect wild life and thus by my example induce others to do the same, I will respect the farmers' property and will not hunt or fish thereon without permission, I will be IOO7 sportsman in a community of sportsmen, I will do my best to kill a pest.

Membership in the club is open to aspiring young journalists who are credited with having had original writ- ing published. The club may serve as a stepping stone to the coveted mem- bership in Quill and Scroll, the Inter- national Honorary Society tor High School journalists. Besides sponsoring a yearly contest in creative writing for New Pennies, the Press Club this year has initiated a contest in amateur photography which they hope to make a yearly event. Another feature attraction of the year was the Press Club banquet at which the New Pennies awards and the Quill and Scroll awards were made. Writers ot D. T. H. S. may be justly proud ot two outstanding honors which have been won by fellow stu- dents-Sue Rutledge having won first place in the biographical division of the Scholastic contest last year with her Blue Bottle, and joAnne Wil- cox having won a Divisional third place in the editorial contest sponsor- ed by Quill and Scroll this year.

SWIM CLUB ln past years, Nerieds has been composed only of girls, but this year it has become a combined club of boys and girls, with lane Smith and Hollis Flusch acting as co-presidents, The main objectives and techniques of the club are precision swimming, and fancy dives and formations. The club emblem is a curved orange fish with NERIEDS printed on it in black letters. Membership requirements for the club are as follows: Each potential member must be able to swim in good form five lengths of the pool, using each type of stroke-crawl, back stroke, side stroke, or the breast stroke. Each member must also be able to tread water for one minute, and to execute a front dive off the side of the pool. The club gives a show every year at the P. T. A. Mardi Gras, and also an- other at the end of the school year. This show is usually the most popu- lar spot in the building at the time of the Mardi Gras, a large crowd also attends the spring show. Miss Spickerman is the club spon- sor. The officers are as follows: jane Smith and l-lollis Flusch, presidentsg Dolores Yusunas and Eddie Rice, vice- presidents, Mary Burtzos, secretary- treasurerg and joan Carpenter, pub- licity chairman.
