To Mr. Hintz, who cheerfully devoted so much of his val- uable time in taking the many photographs throughout the book. His considerate and thoughtful attitude is appreciated by the entire staff. To our editoriol ond circulation staffs, without whom,. the countless difficulties of the editors could never have been met. Although their work is not individually recognized it is greatly appreciated. Without them, there would have been no Year Book. To the faculty, Miss Middup and Mr. B. J. Frazer who have so kindly given us their valuable and much needed assistance. To Jahn and Ollier, our engraver. To the merchants of Dixon who have advertised in our book. To the students, whose cooperation with staff members and photographers, made working for, and with them a pleasure. The Editors FOREWORD When we the seniors of Dixon High School look back over the four most glorious years of our lives, we realize that the companionship of fellow students, the joy, and the seeming hardships of school-day tasks are forever to pass into beautiful memories that will remain in our minds for the years of struggle and real hardship to come. We leave these carefree days to enter a far different world than that to which we have been accustomed. Even more so, now that we are in the trying days of war. With this engraved in our thoughts, we leave this Year Book as a memoir to help us recall in the future the joyous days of the past. Come with us now to re-live in these few pages the past events of our high school career which now leave us forever, DEDICATION The graduating class of i945 silently salutes individually every service man in this time of crisis. The fact that many have and will make the supreme sacrifice fills every mind inevitably. Fellows of the graduating class realize this and face it gallantlyg girls face it with determination in their hearts and humble acknowledgment. You remember the morning Johnny got up early, because this was HIS day. Janie was so excited she could not eat her breakfast, and you, Mother, rushed around getting this and that. Remember?? Then he gave you a hug, gravely shook Dad's hand, and swung out the gate with that certain grin on his face. Late summer he came home on furlough so tanned in his uniform and somehow older. Then you knew-he had grown upl He went back pre- pared and anxious to give the enemy what they had been asking for. Not because he hated this Jerry or any Japa- nese fellow but he didn't like what they stood for and what they would do to our America .... Then came the telegram that morning when the world stood still, We regret to inform you . . . To you and you, this sacrifice does not signify defeat but a means to victory. Because we have courageous Americans like Johnny who believe in the big and little things that America stands for to the extent they give their all, we of the graduating class can go forward confident of victory and an everlasting, peaceful tomorrow. Realizing we could not gain these treasures without giving up some of our best, we hereby dedicate the Year Book of '45 to the heroes who have given and will give their lives for America. . . . . . .

Frazer who is re- spected and well-liked by all who know him. lvlr. Frazer helps many students solve their problems as youth of today. Claiming his home town as Windsor, Illinois, Mr. Frazer moved to Shelbyville, Illinois, where he obtained his high school and business college educations. During the First World War he served his country in France. Upon his return he entered the Illinois College. Besides being active in dramatics and sports, he was a member of the debate teams for three years and editor of the college magazine. Mr. Frazer's interest in sports grew when he played basketball in business college. He is now an ardent fan of all sports. In i924 lvlr. Frazer first became asso- ciated with Dixon's schools. For thirteen years he has efficiently served Dixon High as principal. He received his master's de- gree from the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Frazer has answered roll call to the Lee County Teachers' Association, Rock River Division of Illinois Education Associa- tion, the Executive Committee of the State Principals' Association and many local civic organizations, SUPERI NTENDENT LANCASTER Superintendent of the Dixon Public Schools is Mr. Allen H. Lancaster, who is respected by all students from the first grade to the senior class. Mr. Lancaster's heart-warming smile has given him the confidence of many friends. After spending his childhood near Ridge- farm, Illinois, Mr. Lancaster attended the Vermilion Academy at Vermilion C-rove, Illinois. He spent two years in college in Indiana and received his B. A. degree from the University of Illinois. He received his IVI. A. degree from the University of Wis- consin. Before coming to Dixon in 1921, Mr. Lan- caster taught at Vermilion Academy, Ridge- farm High School, and was Superintendent of the John Swaney School in McNabb, Illi- nois. In Dixon he was principal of the south Side High School and with the completion of the new building, he was advanced to the position of Principal of Dixon High. In i932 Mr. Lancaster became Superin- tendent of the Dixon Public Schools and still holds this position. He has fully carried out his duties to the minutest degree. I DOROTHY A. C.

They are both a credit and a help to Dixon High School. Mrs. Stella Cirobe came to Dixon from Maryland and was graduated from Dixon High School in 1931. ln 1932 she began working in the office. Besides handling sup- plies and business correspondence, Stella is secretary to Superintendent A. H. Lan- caster. Alice Thomson, who came to Dixon from Iowa, attended North Central Elementary School and was graduated from the Dixon High School. She is in charge of issuing ad- mits and is also secretary to Principal B. J. Frazer. The office girls' day starts long before school commences and continues long after the students have left the building. Everyone in Dixon High School appreci- Stella Cirobe Alice Thomson ates what the office girls are doing for them and the seniors especially wish to thank them for their thoughtfulness, and kind- hearted consideration. Our Year Book would not be complete without a small write-up about our janitors, nor would our school itself be complete without them. They are the men who are always on hand to be of service to students and faculty members alike. Mr. E, E. Childs has served longest on the maintenance staff. Assisting him on the first floor is Albert Beede. On the second and third floors, Mr. Clarence Bates divides his time. Mr. Bert Buehler is always on hand at night as watchman. ln the morn- MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT Left to right: Oliver Colebaugh, Clarence Bates, E. E. Childs, Albert Beede. ings lvlr. Oliver Colebaugh takes care of the locker rooms and keeps the cafeteria look- ing neat and clean. Aside from the jobs mentioned the jani- tors perform numerous other duties, such as dusting the rooms, keeping the halls lighted between classes, cleaning the blackboards, and helping students open their lockers. These men, who are always willing to be of assistance, are a great help in promoting the smooth functioning of school activities. if 1 X my A -Q -my vi. xmfb- The Q? J-,X- -l2bwl O2 -UUNZPO UOOI SENIOR CLASS Many things happened in the year l94l 1 the United States entered the war, and the seniors entered high school. Every freshman class is con- sidered green, and ours will parade along with all the rest. Our first days in the halls of D. H. S. were trying ones, and room mixups and shyness did not miss our class. The fall of our freshman year passed quickly and some of the brawny boys of the class received minor letters at the close of the football season: Roger Bivins, Bob Alexander, Clyde Cooley, Hugh Cruse, Jack Hansen, Fred lvleinke, and John Woodyatt. C-.A.A. initiation was a gala affair with the usual painted faces, crazy tricks, and all the food one could eat. During the fall and win- ter the freshmen were well represented in Fresh- man-Sophomore Literary Society, Language Club, Travel Club, Home Ec Club, F.F.A. and C.A.A. The freshman class gaily entertained the other students of D. H. S. at their Victory theme assembly with Gerald Reynolds as master of cere- monies. Our class officers were Clyde Cooley, president, Kenneth Utz, vice presidentg June Baker, secretary-treasurer. Time moved along and our class kept up with everyone. ln what seemed a very short time, we were sophisticated sophs who could glance down at a new, green freshie class. A great variety of talent was uncovered in the sophomore class during the second year in D. H. S. How could we ever forget this yearl Everyone remembers the sleigh rides, the Pope and Warner parties, hay rides and all the girls' nicknames which have stuck till this last year. Again we made merry for students and faculty members with our Soph- omore Assembly, A C-ay Nineties Review. Our class officers were: Fred Meinke, president, Carmen Leonard, first vice-president: Kenneth Utz, second vice-president, Russell Byers, secre- tary-treasurer. lt was a great day when we joined the ranks as upper classmen. The excitement has really never left, but has cooled down some since the first weeks of our third year.

Major track letters were won by Fred Meinke and John McLean. Two Dramatic Club productions, Mr, and Mrs. North and My Heart's in High, utilized much of our junior talent. Leading roles played by juniors in Mr, and Mrs. North included, Susan Warner, Mary Keeney, Elaine Fisher, Bob Malach, Lois Selgestad, Wayne Frazer, and Dick Brown, in My Heart's in High, Wayne Frazer, Dona Pieschel, Alice Schmidt, Lois Selgestad, Mary Lou Wil- liams, and Eleanor Jones. During the last semester, the Dixini staff was made up almost entirely of juniors. Car- men Leonard served as managing editor, Rosemary Baker as news editor, Alice Schmidt as news editor, Russell Byers as sports editor. All of these journalists car- ried on their work until the middle of their senior year. During the junior year we pre- sented our best talent in the junior assem- bly. Various radio programs made up the theme, the most humorous being the Mr. Anthony skit. We chose for our class offi- cers Carmen Leonard, pres'dent, Bob Ma- lach, vice-president, and Lois Selgestad, secretary-treasurer. For the first time we were able to help plan the junior-senior prom and attend it. lt was a wonderful evening for everyone and the memories will linger forever. We solemnly watched the seniors graduate and knew that the day was not far off for us At last we reached the top of the ladder as high and mighty seniors. At first we didn't quite feel big enough to hold down the job, but it wasn't long before we became accustomed to being seniors. The first issue of the Dixini came out under senior leader- ship. For the first half of the year Carmen Leonard served as editor, Rosemary Baker, as managing editor, Alice Schmidt, as news editor, and Russell Byers, as sports editor. At the end of the first semester, the seniors retired and the juniors carried on under senior editor Rosemary Baker. Football season was as exciting as always and we were one hundred per cent behind the fellows-win or lose. The fellows who proved their football skill and received major letters were: Ken Carroll, John Wolbart, William Boehme, Gerald Burgess, Russell Byers, Harry C-odt, John Jenkins, Charles Webster, Fred Meinke, Jack Wola- ver, and Bob Dogwiler. For our last year in high school we elected John Wolbart for president, Bob Camery for vice-president, and Ray Hood for secretary- treasurer. We chose Carmen Leonard for the D. A. R. good citizen representative in the early part of the second semester. We will never forget the wonderful eve- ning of April l3 when the C- A.A. held their annual dance in the high school gym. Every- one was invited and all the gals showed up with their best fellows. Along with that we will fondly remember Senior Day as our last program with the entire class cooper- ating. We all probably will look back on our last exams of high school life and remember how we took them before any of the other students and how hard we crammed I Many gay evenings were spent in the gym at the popular SACS dances. Our class suc- cessfully carried on this project which started in last year's class. The formal dance held by the SACS Club was a tremendous success and largely contributed to the most enjoyable events of our last year. We stop here a moment to remember all the fellows who have left our class since our freshman year to serve in the armed forces. We sadly wish they could have graduated with us, but we know they will be remem- bered as loyal and courageous members of the class of '45. Almost too soon the first day of June was upon us. We could hardly wait for that main event of our last year-the junior- senior prom. lt was the gayest of gay eve- nings and will never be forgotton. And now, with sadness in our hearts, we have come to the end of another chapter in our lives. Now, we will attempt to gain suc- cess and happiness in a world of turmoil. UNIOR CLASS September of i942 found us crossing the threshold to a higher education, no less frightened or amazed than any of our pre- decessors. Becoming adjusted to our new surround- ings we sought outside interests in ath- letics, club activities, and music. Later on in the fyeor Joe Voile, Mory Elaine Drew and Karl Shaver were elected as our class officers. The never-to-be-forgotten events as Freshies were the All-School party and the Freshman asesmbly where we became more acquainted with the upper classmen and they likewise with us. It also gave way to the rise of Mary Elaine Drew as a noted singer of our class. When the football letters were presented we were represented well by Dan Branigan, Jack McLean, and Darrel Rinehart. During the next year many exciting hap- penings took place, which proved we were no longer green freshmen, but instead, cocky sophomores, such as, the mistletoe in Miss Wright's homeroom for Christmas: the lightweight team - Joe Eggebrecht, George Acker, Robert Fuller, and Joe Vaile - winning for themselves second place in the conference, the sophomore assembly in which Alice Rutherford, Bob Mellott, Phyl- lis Phalen, and others participated, and the election of class officers causing heated competition which finally resulted in mak- ing George Acker, president: Joe Vaile, vice-president, and Joe Eggebrecht, secre- tary-treasurer. ln spite of the fact our name changed from sophomores to juniors our interests in school remained. Dramatic club was now open to us and as a result about half the cast in Spring Green were juniors. Norma McBride walked off with the leading role, and Ariel Dillon, Gordon McCleary, Joan Whitlow, Dan Branigan, Bob Mellott, Bill Gravenstein, and Bruce Bastian were among those who participated. The All-School party, sponsored by the juniors, proved to be a jubilant affair. The evening was occupied with activities of all sorts - bingo, miniature bowling alleys, a JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: George Acker, president, Bill Martin, vice-presidentg Joe Eggebrecht, secretary-treasurer. dart game, and Little George Byerhoff who tried to guess the weight of the many pretty pigeons who dared to venture near him. The auditorium seemed to be the spot light of the evening where the movie The Amazing Mrs. Holliday, starring Deanna Durbin ran the entire evening. Meanwhile, in the gym the juke box blared out every- thing from ls You ls or ls You Ain't My Baby to Stardust for the many dance lovers. In the field of sports we found George Acker, Christ Christ, Bob Dennison, Gene Fish, Bob Kernan, and Joe Vaile among those who received football letters. Those who demonstrated their ability in basket- ball were Joe Vaile, George Acker, Joe Eggebrecht, Bob Kernan, Christ Christ, Don Higgs, Charles Bareis, and Bob Brotherton. The need of three new cheerleaders brought Phyllis Phalen, Lorraine Baker, and Mar- garet Wolbart to carry on where their pre- decessors left off. At the beginning of the second semester, 47 juniors replaced the seniors on the Dixini staff. Junemarie Deutsch and Rob- ert Mellott were selected as assistant edi- tors and will lead the staff next year as seniors. The class officers for this year were George Acker, Bill Martin, and Joe Egge- brecht.

SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Donald Thoms, president, Mike McDon- ald, vice-presidentg John Erwin, secretary-treasurer. Here at the end of another school year, we find ourselves looking back over our ac- complishments at the half-way mark. ln August, l943, we first entered Dixon High SOPHOMORE CLASS School, and although it took time, we learned our way around, sometimes the hard way. When the clubs were organized, we showed interest by joining. The clubs were: Freshman-Sophomore Literary Society, Latin Club, G.A A., F.A.A., Home Ec. Club, Li- brary Club, and Pep Club, As freshmen, many turned out for sports. Remember the football casualties, with Jack Schultz and Art Kreitzer topping the list with broken bones? Those receiving minor football letters were Mike McDon- ald and Don Thoms. The basketball season was fair, with three freshies receiving cov- eted small D's. They were Don Thoms, Jack Schultz, and Mike McDonald. In spring come tennis cmd track. Remember how well Ronny Moen ond the others did?

The freshman assembly took Holidays as its theme. Art Kreitzer was master of ceremonies. First came the New Year cele- bration, complete with hammers and bats. The nature class, hunting the groundhog, was doomed to disappointment. St. Valen- tine's Day and April Fool's Day were also included. The chorus members' beauty contest was won by that beautiful hunk of something-or-other, John Erwin. Connie Meinke gave a fine baton twirling exhibi- tion, followed by the Christmas scene. The family in this scene was musical, with even the baby playing the bass. The fact that we were the largest class, probably accounted for having more members on the honor roll than any other class. Before we realized it, the end of our first year came, when we left to return as the upper lower class. With the experience of the first year, Ernie Atkinson, Ed Enichen, Art Kreitzer, Don McLean, Alvin Moeller, Don Russell, and Harold Worman received minor letters in football. Mike McDonald, Bob Sanford, Jack Schultz, Don Thoms, and John Erwin made us proud by earning major letters. Joe Richards and Earl Codt received man- agers' letters. There was another good turnout in bas- ketball and the team did well. For the whole season it was about 50-50, but in the conference it was seven wins to three losses putting them in third place. . Ed Enichen, Mike McDonald. Bryan Can- non, Carrol Schumacher, Don Russell, Jim Chamness, Harold Worman, Ernie Atkin- son and Joe Richards proved their worth and are ready to do even better next year. Spring came, bringing spring-fever, track, and the C.A.A. dance. We came and left as sophomores for the last time.

Last September, like many other past Septembers, was the month that another group of quaking freshmen entered the portals of Dixon High, FRESHMEN CLASS At the beginning of the year, the fresh- man class elected its officers who are Jim Landis, president, Evelyn Hinds, vice-presi- dent, and Carletta Rosenow, secretary- treasurer. Approximately twenty-five per cent of the freshmen students are taking a college preparatory course, which means they are taking algebra and Latin. Sixty-four per cent are taking manual training and home economics, vocational subjects. Two-thirds of the class are taking algebra, and only one-third, general mathematics this year. This is interesting to note because in past years the case has been just the reverse. If you will glance over the honor rolls, you will notice that the freshmen have done well in their school studies. The class is well represented each time.

The boys on the basketball team were Loren Munson, LaVere Keeney, and lim Landis. No basketball letters were given to fresh- men this year. The girls have been equally sports-minded with basketball, ice skating, bowling, and tennis being just a few of the many sports in which they have partici- pated. The freshmen have joined many of the various clubs open to them. Some of these are G.A.A., Latin Club, Freshman-Sopho- more Literary Society, Home Ec. Club, and the F.F.A. No freshman was elected to an office in these clubs. On March ninth, the annual party of the freshmen and sophomores was given in the gymnasium from eight o'clock to eleven. Danc- ing and games were the main activities car- ried on throughout the evening. While re- freshments were served, an entertaining floor show was put on with several talented freshmen participating in it. At the opening of the year the Crowell- Collier magazine campaign was held. Sev- eral freshmen held one of the five high places in salesmanship. Again the freshman class outdid all the other classes! Throughout the first semester the English l classes under the supervision of the Misses Dorothy Armington, Alice Rich- ardson, and Marjorie Tully, wrote their autobiographies as weekly themes. Then at the beginning of the second semester they compiled these themes into book form. Many of the autobiographies had attractive covers, and some had snapshots scattered throughout the pages. Some of the books were exhibited at one of the P.T.A. meet- ings, and received a good deal of favorable comment. These are just a few of the many school activities in which the freshmen have been leaders. lf this interest continues, it looks as if there will be an enterprising sopho- more class next year.

YEAR BOOK STAFF The staff of the l945 Year Book are seniors who have done their best to record the events of their memorable last year in Dixon High School. They wished to com- pile an annual that presented a picture typi- cal of high school life, and they now pre- sent this book as the result, hoping for your approbation. Early in September, Co-Editors Alice Schmidt and Susan Warner selected their staff. At their many meetings the staff prepared a rough draft of the plans for the book. After much discussion they finally agreed on the final layout, Although the weather often interfered, the picture sched- ule was completed. Photography Co-Editors Wayne Frazer and Ray Hood snapped the ever popular candid shots. Bill Wadsworth, Sports Editor, gathered all the Dl-lS sports data. Advertising Editor Dick Brown sold advertising space to Dixon merchants. Marjorie Fitzgerald, Circula- tion Manager, supervised publicity and sold extra yearbooks, while Cirace Walter, Busi- ness Manager, kept a firm hand on the bud- get, Art Editor Frances Bartholomew drew the division pages. June Baker who wrote our timely dedication, was the capable Man- aging Editor. Bob Malach, Manager of Communication, helped any editors in need of assistance. Copy assignments were given to the Edi- torial Staff, the carefully mounted pictures returned from the engravers to be placed in the printer's dummy. Finally, everything was placed together, printed, and the result -your Year Book. The Year Book Staff is indebted to the teachers who proofed, and helped the stu- dents in the final re-writing of articles, They are: the Misses Olga Eneroth, Alice Richardson, Edith Wagner, Marjorie Tully, Charlotte Dethart, and Dorothy Armington, who gave us her invaluable assistance as faculty adviser. We also thank the under- classmen who assisted the Editorial Staff: Louise Cannon, Richard Clausen, Doris l-leckman, Beverly Wullenweber, and Mar- garet Wolbart. DTXTNTI STAFF The Dixini attempted this year to bring the news and feature stories to the student body in the most interesting way possible. Two new features entitled Meet the Fac- ulty and Chin Music were added, as well as numerous new cartoons and headings. Carmen Leonard served as editor-in-chief of the Dixini during the first semester of i944-45 when the seniors edited the paper. A capable staff composed of Rosemary Baker as managing editor, Alice Schmidt as news editor, and Russell Byers as sports editor served under her. Also invarible to the success of each issue were Dick Brown as advertising manager, Crace Walter as exchange editor, Katherine Hawks as art editor, Elaine Ommen as circulation man- ager, and Wayne Frazer as the staff pho- tographer. A four-page issue of the Dixini appeared every other Thursday throughout the school year. The outstanding issues of the year, the Christmas issue and the Graduation issue, contained eight pages. Further in- terest was supplied by the Scholastic Rotos which contained news from high schools all over the United States. Miss Dorothy Armington, faculty adviser, made journalism books and magazines avail- able to help the juniors, who took over the task of editing the Dixini at the beginning of the second semester.

Q9 3445 if i sniff Dramatic Club Any junior or senior who has a C aver- age or better and is interested in dramatics or any of its ramifications is eligible for Dramatic Club. If he has any dramatic tal- ent, known or unknown to himself, he may get a part in one of the two annual plays. Even if he is not especially good in acting, he may find interesting jobs in the art, busi- ness, make-up, properties, publicity, or stage departments. The first meeting of the year was de- voted to the election of officers. Carmen Leonard was elected president for the year and Janice Jensen was chosen to assist her. Betty Snader was given charge of the club records and bank account. The regular monthly meetings were under the direction of three rotating groups. En- tertainment in the form of short plays was presented to the rest of the members by the group in charge. These plays gave a large number of the members the chance to practice appearing before an audience. Much of the credit for the success of this club was due to the supervision and help of Miss Charlotte Dethart, Miss Olga Ene- roth, and Miss Alice Richardson, the faculty advisers. The co-operation of the mem- bers, many of whom put in much time for the meetings and plays was another reason for its success. lt was not all work, though: the mem- bers had many good times preparing pro- grams and practicing for the plays. Spanish Club gBuenos dias, sefiores y se5oritasl is the greeting familiar to all members of Spanish Club and heard by them on Thurs- day morning once a month throughout the year. The club, organized three years ago as a division of the Language Club, is open to all members of both Spanish classes and to former Spanish students. At the first meeting of the year, the fol- lowing officers were elected: president, Grace Walter, co-vice-presidents, Patsy Risley and Wayne Pope: secretary-treasurer, Wesley Lair. The club this year, under the direction of Miss Marjorie Tully, gained additional knowledge of Mexico and Central and South America through reports given by members about such topics as people of the various countries, their customs and manner of dress. The club also learned some color- ful songs and dances originated in these countries. Latin Club One of the well-known clubs at Dixon High is the Latin Club. The members, whose number totals seventy, gather monthly in room 202 for their meetings. Under the supervision of Mrs. Freya Lazier, Latin teacher and club adviser, and with the co-operation of the students, the club, purpose of which is to correlate with class work, has become a well-known or- ganization. The various Latin classes are responsible for the entertainment of the seven meet- ings scheduled for this year. The first meet- ing was called by Margaret Scanlon, last year's vice-president. Officers elected were: president, June Bakerg vice-president, Don- ald Russellg secretary-treasurer, Roberta Mercer. At one meeting the members were shown motion pictures of Rome, recently sent to this country. At another time girls presented a Roman style show. These activities add to the atmosphere of our Latin education.

Newton Todd in the efferves- cent comedy, Spring Green, introduced by the Dramatic Club, under the customary competent guidance of Miss Olga Eneroth. Nina Cassell, young and charming mother of two girls, Tony and Scootie. decides to rent the west wing of the house to army personnel from the nearby airfield. Gene- vieve Jones, the neighborhood news-sheet, finds out that a major and his son are to be the renters and informs Tony and her chums that the boy has recently been expelled from a swanky academy. The major, Michael Todd, turns out to be an old suitor of Nina, and his son, T.

Part One of the pageant was the history of America from l62O to the present day, told in song and narrative - The Song of America - composed by Alexander Matthews and Walter Raiguel. Part Two related the life of modern Americag the original script being written by Norma Mc- Bride, Ariel Dillon, and Mary Elaine Drew. Telling the story of America were narra- tors Barbara Langan and Bob Camery, while background music was provided for the va- rious pantomimes enacted on the stage by the mixed chorus accompanied by Susan Warner. Blending together to form an attractive and colorful pageant were groups of Puritan, Indian, Irish, Scotch, and Norwegian danc- ers and singers, the latter representing im- migrants in our country. Joan Whitlow portrayed the Scotch in a well-executed Scottish Fling As a prelude to the Irish Reel, An Irish Lullaby was sung by Mary Elaine Drew, while Lois France, accom- panied by the chorus sang the well known Funiculi, Funiculaf' As the history of America progressed, and there came a Civil War. Don Russell, in the part of a Negro singer, sang Co Down Moses. Part One came to a conclusion with the singing of The Battle Hymn of the Republic. The story changed rapidly for Part Two as the curtain opened on a group of CVS behind the lines in Italy. The roles of the Ol's were played by Cordon McCleary, Gerald Reynolds, Richard Clausen, John McLean and Bryan Cannon. As the Cl's re- called past good times, with hayrides, and canteens, they were enacted on the stage. A Brooklyn scene featured Jim Brady on the spoons, and Betty Barton with the accor- dion. Christmas Eve - one soldier's never to be forgotten dream was beautifully por- trayed by a choir of fifteen white-robed girls singing Silent Night and Adeste Fidelesf' As a beautiful climax, Barbara Ashley sang Oh Holy Night. The stirring pageant came to an end, as the entire cast came onto the stage and sang This ls My Country, ORCHESTRA Under the capable and inspiring direction of Mr. Orville Westgor the Dixon High School Orchestra established an enviable record for itself. lt performed at many school activities, among them the Lee County Teachers' ln- stitutef a Parent- Teachers' meetingfbetweentlwe acts of tlwe two school plays, Spring Greennand Old Doc, and at the Annual Spring Festival. The music of a sixty piece orchestra, consisting of the high school and all the grade school orchestras combined, composed the first part of the Music Festival program. All orchestra members looked forward to the Tuesday and Thursday practice sessions. A spirit of good fun and companionship al- ways pervaded among its participants. The stringed instruments in an orchestra provide the sweetness and richness of tone. Flutes and woodwinds add variations and color to the music. Volume is given by the brasses and the percussion instruments are used for emphasis and to fill out the tone. Care must be taken in the formation of an orchestra so that too much brass will not overbalance the strings. There were seventeen members in this year's orchestra. The number is small be- cause orchestra members must be selected in order to obtain the right instrumental balance. The members of the orchestra are as fol- lows: Charles Bareis, Betty Frerichs, Vin- cent Rutt, Lona McCardle, Vardith Levy, Carol Kling, Bob Brotlwerton, Lavond Al- bright, Wayne Frazer, Ann Ratcliffe, Harold France, Dick Worley, Don Russell, Carol Schumacher, Jack Hackett, Milo Cecchetti, Jeanne Plock, and Cordon Rutt. The principle of one for all and all for one is the keynote of this group. Each mem- ber knows that the finished performance depends not only on him. but also on his cooperation with others. That is why each orchestra member practices privately to help make a perfect performance. Not only do members of the orchestra learn to enjoy music for themselves, but they are taught how to convey this enjoy- ment to others. BAND lt is with real pride that we look back to this year's band. Wherever it performed, at football or basketball games, or at school assemblies, the music from its instruments was an inspiration to all. To the Dixon High School band of I944-45 goes the distinction of initiating the new school loyalty song, composed by Mr. Orville Westgor, the able director. The band met on Wednesdays and Fri- days for practice, and their finished per- formances showed the results of their hard work. When the weather permitted, the marching drills took place on the football field. This outdoor activity put each player in trim and accounted for their vigorous and powerful performances. The most impressive performance was given on May ll at the Spring Music Fes- tival. After the audience had been seated, the band members led by the captivating majorettes, entered the auditorium from the back. As a grand opening, with a fan- fare of trumpets and drums, all participants marched down the aisles on to the stage. There, with the audience rising to its feet, the music of the Star Spangled Banner filled every nook and corner of the audi- torium. . The first half of the program was fur- nished by the orchestra which featured sev- eral solo numbers. The second half was given by the band with a special feature by the majorettes. The band was composed of students from all classes chosen for their ability and co- operation. lnclividual practice was greatly responsible for constant improvement. All band members deserve full credit for the work and time they put into this school activity. The untiring efforts of each player aided greatly in strengthening the whole band into a perfect unit. Girls' Chorus Familiar songs floated through the halls this past year. Every Tuesday, fourth pe- riod, the girls' chorus met to sing well- known songs or to rehearse some new tune. On Mondays during fourth hour they met with the boys' chorus for training in mixed chorus work. When they sang alone or for perform- ance, they used songs composed of one, two, and three parts. Fifty-five sophomore girls made up the group and a few of the members participated in the operetta. This was unusual, because in former years the cast has been chosen from only members of the junior and senior classes. The most im- portant solo performance of the chorus was at the Christmas Assembly, held in the school auditorium. Next year this chorus will continue as a part of the mixed chorus and will participate in the other usual activities of the year. Miss Edith Wagner, the director, may well be proud of their fine work. Mixed Chorus The basic organization of the music de- partment is the mixed chorus, fifty-one girls' and twenty-four boys' voices making up this organization. Mixed Chorus pre- sented a part of the Christmas Assembly Christmas With Our Allies. The chief project of the chorus this year was the presentation of the oper- etta, This ls My Country with such songs as Funiculi, Funicula, Thanksgiving Hymn and The Battle Hymn of the Re- public. The fine work of the chorus and Boys' One of the familiar and growing organi- zations in the music department is the boys' chorus. This chorus, under the direction of Miss Edith Wagner, is composed of mem- bers of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. It is a four part chorus consisting of first tenor, second tenor, baritone, and bass, Out of this organization has come a group familiar to everyone. the boys' double quartet, made up of Wayne Frazer, John cast was a credit to the organization and Miss Edith Wagner, the director. Within mixed chorus are two organiza- tions familiar to the students of Dixon High Schoolg the Sextet, made up of Charlotte Emmert, Lois Selgestad, Virginia Bryant, Audrey Popma, and Katherine Hawks, and the Triple Trio consisting of Joyce Place, Betty Frerichs, Norma Coaklev, June Marie Deutsch, Ariel Dillon, Norma McBride, Bev- erly Nelles, Mary Lois Greenwood, and Janice Jensen. Chorus McLean, John Erwin, Bryan Cannon, Don Russell, Bob Mellott, Wendell Snell, and John Rhodes. These boys sang at the Christmas assem- bly and other assemblies along with the Parent Teachers' meetings, church groups, and the operetta. This entire group has been successful and is a credit to the music department and Miss Wagner who worked patiently with them all during the year. an ww. -.. 38 ,... Freshmen-Sophomore Literary Society Plays, readings, musical numbers, quiz programs, and other literary activities these programs under the capable direction of Miss Charlotte Dethart and Miss Marjo- rie Tully, were enjoyed throughout the year by the members of the Freshman-Sopho- more Literary Society. The club met once a month during Thursday morning home- room period in room 202. The members, both freshman and sopho- mores, are chosen for their high scholastic averages, ability to co-operate with others, and general interest. The officers chosen for the year were: president, Betty Cramerg vice president, Margaret Scanlon, secretary- treasurer, Frances Faneg and sergeant-at- arms, Walter Ortgiesen. The club has given freshmen and sopho- mores valuable experience in appearing be- fore an audience, planning programs, and taking part in dramatics. A committee of chairman and members was chosen at each meeting to plan a pro- gram for the following month. This system was successful and some outstanding pro- grams were presented. At one meeting sev- eral book reviews were given, followed by short readings and piano solos, which were enjoyed by all who attended. The students planned and developed each meeting's program entirely by themselves with the approval of 'the advisers. The Library Club ls the book Madame Curie in? Can you tell me where the animal stories are? Where could I find something about Shakespeare? These, and countless others, are the ques- tions that the members of the Library Club have to be prepared to answer every day. This is a club of hard-working students, chosen from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. These girls have a high scholastic record, the willingness to work, and an interest in the library. The Library Club meets twice a month during the home room period with Miss Edith Heinle, the librarian. At this time members learn the fundamentals of library work, how to put the books away in order on the shelves, and how to use the card catalogue, and the Readers' C-uide. The girls also take to the home rooms overdue book cards and remind the students of un- paid fines. ln addition to these bi-monthly meetings, some of the members work in the library after school, a few work before school be- gins in the morning, and the rest work dur- ing study periods. They check books in and out, put books away on the shelves, and do various odd jobs for the librarian. The library is a very important and neces- sary part of the school. Much more work than many of the students imagine is con- nected with it. Without the aid of the members of the Library Club, an assistant librarian would have to be added to the school staff. For their excellent work, these girls receive one-fourth credit a year for participation. This year the members of the Library Club have selected June Baker as their chairman. ln addition to June, the members are Marjorie Fitzgerald, Delores Fallstrom, Janet Saunders, Betty Jane Frerichs, Mar- ion Herridge, Diane Rybick, Shirley McClan- ahan, Ruth Boynton, Audrey Bennett, Gloria Allwood, Darlene Bay, Joyce Batchelder, Elizabeth Gall, Frances Harms, Joan West- gore, Bonnie Jean Schular, Janet Shaw and Margaret Scanlan.

Commercial Club The Commercial Club is made up of the students who take commercial subjects, such as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, or commercial law. Organized in l929, the Commercial Club is now one of the largest and most pro- gressive clubs in Dixon High School, having about two hundred members this year. At the first meeting, the members of the club elected their officers for the sea- son. The officials elected were president, Dick Brown, vice-president, Betty Snader, secretary, Bill Wadsworth, treasurer, Mary Nagy. At the different meetings throughout the year, entertainment was provided by the members of the club. Speeches, plays, readings, and musical numbers were in- cluded in the programs. Credit goes to Miss Margaret Kling, Miss Mildred Quinn, Mrs. L. E.Sl1arpe, ond Mr. Lewis Cramer for their excellent guidance of the club. Future Farmers of America The Future Farmers of America, or FFA as it is commonly called, is a national organ- ization of, by, and for boys studying voca- tional agriculture in public high schools. The FFA is composed of chartered state as- sociations which, in turn, are made up of local chapters situated in high schools hav- ing departments of vocational agriculture. Membership is entirely voluntary. Student officers for each unit of the FFA --local, state, and national, are elected an- nually and in some local chapters semi- Home The Home Economics Club is under the guidance and supervision of Miss Cleta White and Miss Olive Cotta. It was organ- ized for the purpose of teaching the girls to do better, the things they have to perform in daily life, such as cooking and sewing, furnishing and running the home economi- cally, and performing the household tasks efficiently. Any girl who is taking a course in home annually. The vocational agriculture teacher serves as local chapter adviser. The student officers in i944-45 were: president, Harry Harms, vice president, Tom Patterson, sec- retary, Doris Gilbert, treasurer, Walter Ortgieson, reporter, Floyd Wohrley, and watchdog, Robert McGaffey. The primary aim of the Future Farmers of America is the development of agricul- tural leadership, cooperation, and citizen- ship. Ee Club economics is entitled to become a member. This year approximately one hundred thirty students enjoyed membership. The officers of the Home Economics Club were: Elaine Fisher, president, Helen Zuend, vice-president, Rosemary McClain, secretary and treasurer, Norma Taylor, sergeant-at-arms, and Charlotte Emmert, pianist. G. A. A. This year the Girls' Athletic Association, under the supervision of Miss Rachel Hee- stand, director of the girls' physical educa- tion program, has continued to carry out all activities in small groups. This idea was first introduced in '42 by girls seeking to stimulate more interest in athletics. Each year selected members are ap- pointed as managers of the various sports by the officers of the association. Through the efforts of the managers, these activities are better organiied and serve to create greater interest and fuller participation. The officers of the C. A. A. have worked hard to make this organization even a greater success than it has been in the past. Elected by the members of the C-. A. A., these officers were: Lois Selgestad, presi- dent, Lorraine Baker, vice-president, and Connie Meinke, secretary-treasurer. Baseball, under the supervision of Rose- mary McClain, began early this spring. Shouts of She's out? and Home run! could be heard on warm days after the girls learned to really knock it over the fence. Later, the girls formed teams from each of the different classes and engaged in compe- tition. Under the 'direction of Frances Bartholo- mew, two hiking parties were planned and carried out before the snow fell. One of these excursions led the hikers to Grand Detour on a chilly November day, the other, to Lowell Park. More hikes were enjoyed this spring, and the sport, like other C. A. A. sports, credited the girls with points to- ward their awards. Every Monday and Tuesday after school, girls could be seen knocking down the pins in the bowling alley. On Monday nights, the participants consisted of the more experi- enced bowlers, while Tuesday was reserved for the beginners. Both teams were under the capable management of Pauline Bay. Those girls with the highest scores were selected to take part in the state tourna- ment, carried out by means of correspond- ence. Their average score of several games was sent to the state and rated according to the scores of G. A. A. bowlers of other near-by schools. DHS obtained sixth place in a group of twenty-five schools. TheAgtivitv which displayed the greatest interest, had the most regular attendance, and showed the largest number of enthusi- asts was basketball. .Mary Helen Dunbar and Donette Keeney were the co-managers of this activity. Lunches were brought every Tuesday and Thursday noons by the players, who put their heart and soul into every practice. Before the tournament in March, training rules were enforced by the coaches of the class teams. Held in the gymnasium during two evenings, this tournament was open to the public. Because of weather conditions, archery and tennis were delayed until spring. Then their instruction and practice began, and from these groups emerged many well- trained athletes, The managers of these sports were Elaine Ommen and Carmen Leonard, respectively. Playday, a gathering of C. A. A. members from surrounding towns, was a suggestion eagerly accepted by the girls of DHS, lnvi- tations were sent to C. A. A. members in Lee Center, Polo, Amboy, Rock Falls, Ohio, and Steward. All types of contests including volleyball, kickball, baseball, basketball, archery, golf and relay races were held, the winners being awarded prizes at the close of the day. This bringing together of the girls tended to further our acquaintances with the activities of other girls' associa- tions. On December l5, the mothers of the C. A. A. were honored by a tea served by their daughters. The tea was held in the cafeteria, and Susan Warner played appro- priate music for the Christmas season dur- ing the tea. Not only the members of the C-. A. A., but the boys as well, looked forward to April l3, the date set for the annual C, A. A. Dance. According to tradition, the girls courteously escorted their dates to the dance and paid all expenses. Many of the boys were presented with boutonnieres. Awards, based on the number of points given each individual for her participation and attendance in one or more of the clubs, were presented at the close ot the school year. C, A. A.

Margaret, young Robert Hillary's sweet- heart, and Old Doc have their hearts set on seeing Bob take over the profession of local doctor in his small midwestern village. However, Bob has a different idea and in- tends to practice in Boston with his highly influential friend, Dr. Edmund Brand. It happens that Dr. Brand has a beautiful, but spoiled daughterg so naturally, Margaret becomes jealous. By the end of the second act Bob has almost everyone, except Margaret, con- vinced that he should begin his life as a doctor in Boston where his chances for ad- vancement are greater. After days of con- stant pleading he takes matters into his own hands, calls up Preacher Baxter, and is about to force Margaret to marry him when the telephone rings. Bob grabs his hat and Mar- garet and darts to the car. So the night he was to be married. young Dr. Hillary began practicing medicine in his home town, with Margaret as his wife. The cast of Old Doc was led by Wayne Frazer as Old Doc and Russell Byers as his son, Bob. Margaret, a tall, beautifully built blond, was played by Norma McBride. Barbara Langan, as the excitable, jumpy, Mrs. Mellon, provided dozens of laughs for the audience. Lovable Ma and Pa Brown, portrayed by Betty Crimes and Dick Countryman respec- tively, were friends to everyone because of the kindly advice they gave. Dick Burns and Janet Martin, played by Bob Malach and Mary Elaine Drew, were two teen-aged, moon-struck, love-birds. Dr. Brand and his charming daughter Helen, were ably portrayed by Edward Ben- nett and Barbara Donoho. Other friends and patients of Old Doc, who must be given equal credit,were Pauline Bay as Mary Selby, Ann Kennedy as Mrs Cronin, Lorraine Baker as Mrs. Rossi, and Carmen Leonard as Lois Warner. Miss Charlotte Dethart directed this pro- duction assisted by lanice Jensen as student director. ENXSLCQ Uk Qffiijif J 'r j QT? X X f 5 12 ' X M y Q x xx Ll Q ,, ,-LL Q 'fi VARSITY x'. Kuff, sw sf .

During those very warm afternoons after classes, the boys went through extensive exercise and drill. Coach C. B. Lindell was there to pilot the varsity squad, while coaches Mar- vin Winger and L. E. Sharpe were there to lead their lightweight and freshman squads, respectively. Since some very promising material was on hand, the boys expected a good season, but when the smoke cleared on the last game of the season, the record of the Dukes was anything but good. ln six tussles, the Lindellmen were able to bring victory home only once. Even though graduation and the call to service had taken many promising players, serious and frequent injuries ham- 48 pered the Dukes throughout the entire sea- son. Eight lettermen, six of whom were sen- iors, returned to the team along with a number of capable juniors and sophomores. Fullback Fred Meinke was the Dukes' main holdover. Fred started off well, but a seri- ous knee injury in the Sterling game kept him on the sidelines for the most of the season. Other serious injuries kept a num- ber of key men on the bench. The season began officially on September 22, when the Purple and White invaded East Rockford. The Dukes went into the tussle as underdogs, and although they fought hard, the speedy East High backs proved too much for them. The final score was 38 to 7, in favor of the Rabs. Fred Boehme Burgess Byers Carroll Codt Dogwiler Jenkins Meinke Meinke made the Dukes' lone score on a line plunge. The Rabs made most of their scores on dashes around Dixon's ends. Twice during the game, the Dukes made drives of over 6O yards, deep into Rockford territory, but in- tercepted passes and fumbles ended these. Rockford was extremely fast and experi- enced. The long list of injuries started with this game. Dick Brown, promising guard, broke his wrist in practice a few days before the game and Dan Branigan, who started the game at left half, left the game in the first few minutes with a badly injured knee. The first home game in the N. C. l. Con- ference was with our rival, Sterling, on Sep- tember 29. The Blue and Gold, boasting a good team, made good their threat and smothered the Dukes 3l to l4. Dixon took an early lead on Meinke's score and outplayed Sterling the entire first half. Late in the second quarter lvleinke received his injury and without his services, the Dukes were unable to stop Sterling's furious second half onslaught. The Sterling lads piled up all their markers in this half, while Jack Schultz completed the Dukes' scoring. On October 6, the Dukes played host to DeKalb for their second and final home game. Again, speed and power proved too much for the crippled Dukes, and the Barbs came out on top, 26 to 6. For a change, only minor mishaps occurred, but the already broken Dixon squad missed their injured regulars. Dixon started a drive in the opening min- utes of the tilt, but this was halted and the Dukes were checked throughout the game. Webster Wolaver Wolbart Acker Christ Dennison Fish Kernan Again, most of the enemy scoring was done around Dixon's ends. ln the closing min- utes, the Barb substitutes fumbled and Les- lie Smith recovered the ball deep in DeKalb territory. John Wolbart took it over on the next play for Dixon's only score. The Purple and White next traveled to Ottawa on Friday, October l3, and were anything but lucky. The Pirates, while holding Dixon's offense to a standstill, scored five times to collect 26 points to Dixon's O. The playing was even in the first quarter, but near the end of the half the Pirates opened up and were never halted. On the other hand, the Duke drives were stopped cold by fumbles and intercepted passes. During the battle, the casualty list was increased. Russell Byers suffered a broken collar-bone in the second quarter and Ger- ald Burgess soon followed him to the shower with a badly broken nose. They finally did it, was the cry heard on Saturday, October ZO, for the Dukes had scored their first victory of the year over Mendota, the night before. By tackling and hard blocking throughout the game, the Dukes pounded out a 20 to l2 win over the Mendota squad. They scored in three of the four quarters and dominated the play dur- ing the entire game. lncidentally, the Lin- dellmen suffered no serious injuries in this game. With a victory under their belts and their eyes on another win, the Dukes traveled to Spring Valley, the following Friday, for the curtain game of the i944 season. A game, featuring frequent flares of tempers, and poor officiating, followed on Hall's rocky field, with Hall winning, 25 to l2. The Duke first team was held down in the first half and a squad composed almost entirely of juniors and sophomores played the remaining quarters and scored all of Dixon's points. This squad, which outplayed Hall, was made up of the players who are being counted on to lead next year's Duke eleven. This year the school presented letters to 23 boys on the varsity squad. During gen- eral assembly, Mr. Bowers awarded letters to seniors Bill Boehme, Gerald Burgess, Rus- sell Byers, John Wolbart, Jack Walover, Fred Meinke, Ken Caroll, Harry Godt, Charles Webster, John Jenkins, and Bob Dogwiler. Juniors George Acker, John McLean, Bob Dennison, Jack Vaile, Bob Kernan, Christ Christ, and Gene Fish were also awarded varsity letters. ' The sophomores to receive monograms were Don Thoms, Jack Schultz, Mike Mc- Donald, John Erwin, and Bob Sanford. The squad chose John Wolbart and Ken Carroll as co-captains for the i944 season.

GERALD BLJRGESS-Center At pivot position this year for the Dukes was that blond-headed letterman from last year. Jerry could always be depended on to tear open the center of the opponents' line. JOHN McLEAN-Guard Bear was his name, and you'd believe it if you were playing opposite him in the line. He sometimes switched center with the aid of his glasses. BILL BOEHME-Guard His teammates refer to him as Big Bill It was his second year on the varsity squad, but his first year at guard. BOB DENNISON-Tackle Denny was of great value to the squad. He was chosen first string tackle on the ll conference team by sports writers and was indeed worthy of the honor. KENNETH CARROLL-Tackle Kenny came to us last year from Galena where he was chosen all conference tackle. He proved himself a loyal Duke and was elected co-captain by his teammates. GEORGE ACKER-Right Half Peco, a junior this year, played right halfandrightend. Thiswashisffirstseasonwiththe Dukes and he reallyran theopposing boysdown. JOE VAILE-Right End Yogi was fast on his feet and a good tackler. He was a junior this year and will no doubt play first string next season. FROSH-SOPHS FOOTBALL SOUAD First row: L. Hanson, L.

BASKETBALL SEASON FOR 1945 ln endeavoring to keep pace with the records of preceding hardwood quintets, the Dukes were defeated in lO of their l7 games. Paced by Fred Fritz Meinke, sen- ior forward, who collected l82 markers, and the hard-driving junior forward, George i'Peco Acker, who dropped in l54 count- ers, the Dukes placed fifth in the Northern Division of the N. C. l. C. Sterling, tradi- tional rival of the Dixon club, was the only club to defeat the Sharpeshooters three times during the season, twice in conference play and then in the regional tournament finals, The quintet of '44 and '45 did, however, set a new Dixon scoring record by drubbing lvlilledgeville, 88 to l5. The Dukes scored 675 points in their l7 games, an average of 40.1 per game, and their opponents dropped in 638 counters for a 37.5 point average per game. Getting off to a slow start, the Dukes tasted defeat early. Freeport stopped them 33 to 24. Eggebrecht and lvleinke were high pointmen for Dixon accounting for 8 and 6 points respectively. The fast up-and-coming East Rockford quintet climbed all over the Dukes on the Dixon court, to the tune of 57 to 33. Meinke dropped in ll points while Vaile collected 7 and Eggebrecht 6 for the Sharpeshooters. Showing fine form and condition, the Dukes traveled to Hall Township, where they met with their first success. They trounced the Redmen from l-lall, 50 to Zl. This game was the Dukes' best of the season as they potted 4505 of their field attempts. The scoring honors were very evenly distributed, Acker lO, lvleinke 9, Eggebrecht and Thoms 8 apiece, and Sloan 6. A strong Rock Falls club pounced upon the Dixon basketeers, delivering them a 48 to 24 defeat. The Dukes lagged all the way, not causing the Rock Falls quintet any trouble. Again Meinke led the Dukes, ring- ing the bell for 8 pointers. lContinued on page 54i L l Acker Meinke Thorns Vaile Sloan Schultz Eggebrecht Walker FRED Fritz MEINKE, star forward for the Dukes was chosen first string all confer- ence guard by sports writers. He was high point man for the Sharpeshooters with l82 points, and played exception- ally good ball. All around man for the team was GEORGE Peco ACKER, He played guard, center, and forward and was second high scorer for the Dukes with l54 points. JOE VAlLE, junior guard, displayed excellentscorina ability in the tournament game with Milledgeville. The Dukes piled up 88 points with Joe ac- counting for Zl of them, This was guard JOHN SLOAN'S first year to see any great amount of action with the Dukes. Johnnie had good control over the ball and could put it through the hoop when it was needed. 53 JACK SCHULTZ, sopho- more forward, really held his place with the team this year. With a year on the varsity to his credit he will prove to be a big asset to the Dukes in the coming years. Another big boy with the squad and also a sophomore is DON THOMS, known as Cush. He filled the forward position for the Dukes and will also be a big gun in the next two seasons. LITTLE JOE ECCE- BRECHT accounted lcr l-ic size by skillful ball handling. Joe, now a junior, will prob- ably hold down a regular for- ward berth on next season's squad. MELVIN WALKER was the only freshman playing with the varsity team this year. He played both center and guard positions and will be a key man on the Duke team of '46, lContinued from page 52l Sterling racked up the first of their three wins over Dixon as they turned the Dukes back on the Dixon home court. Scoring 47 counters they held Dixon to a safe margin, allowing them only 30 points. The Dukes were fighting hard despite the four earlier defeats they had suffered in their first five games. Meinke again came through as he piled up i3 counters. The DeKalb l3arbs were the next to invade Dixon's home territory and squeezed out a victory over the Sharpeshooters, 43 to 34. lvieinke and Acker paced the Purple and White with l3 and 8 points respectively. West Rockford stretched the Dukes' los- ing streak to four straight as they swamped the invading Dixonites 35 to 23. Acker led the Sharpeshooters with 7 tallies. Ottawa then played host to the slowly sinking Dixon club, and succeeded in push- ing them deeper into the mire by stalling for the last three minutes of play and edging the Sharpeshooters 30 to 27. Lack of order and teamwork spelled Dixon's defeat, the fifth in a row. Eggebrecht and Acker paced the Dukes with 7 and 6 points respectively. ln their first victory in six games the Purple and White successfully turned back the quintet from far-off Geneseo. The scoreboard read 38 to 29 as the final gun sounded. lvleinke led the home boys with l3, and Acker was close behind with l2. The Rock Falls Rockets were next to fall before a strong and up-and-coming Dixon team. The Dukes won this game for Paul Reynolds, late Dixon basketeer, who was killed in action in Belgium a few days before the game. Making it two straight, Dixon topped Rock Falls, 46 to 36. lvleinke racked l5 counters and Acker, l3. Again Sterling and Dixon mixed in a rough and tumble game with Sterling emerging the victor, 43 to 26. This was the Dukes' second defeat at the hands of the Sterling team. Leading the Dixon scoring column was Acker with ll markers. The Redmen from Hall bowed 46 to 36 to a determined Duke team. Hall was the only team the Sharpeshooters defeated twice during the season.

The determined Dixon squad struck a snag as DeKalb smashed them for a second time scoring 49 points to the Dukes' 34. After the beginning of the second half the Purple and White never challenged the win- ners. Acker, Meinke, and Thoms paced Dixon with ll, 9, and 8 points respectively. Revenging an earlier season defeat the Dukes squeezed out a 47 to 42 win over Ottawa. lt was one of the best played games of the season and the Sharpeshooters looked in good condition. Again it was lvleinke and Acker who led them to victory-lvleinke l5, and Acker ll. With renewed hopes and great expecta- tions the Dukes traveled to Princeton, where they ran over the Tigers, 55 to 34. The Sharpeshooters sizzled as they rang the bell for 39 markers in the first half. Start- ing the second half, the Dixon varsity was idle, as the substitutes finished the game in grand style. Again Meinke led the Dukes, with l6 points and Acker and Schultz col- lected l2 each. The Dixonites entered the Sterling Re- gional Tournament with great hopes, draw- ing Milledgeville in their first contest. With fair ball handling the Dukes ran the score to 88 to l5. Every player on the Dixon tournament IO, which was composed of Fred Meinke, John Sloan, George Acker, Joe Vaile, Joe Eggebrecht, Jack Schultz, Donald Thoms, Bryon Cannon, Mike McDonald, and Melvin Walker, saw action in this game. Vaile led the parade with 20 points and close behind him were Meinke with I7, Acker with l6, and Schultz with l4. The Sharpeshooters ended the season in disappointment as they fell before a su- perior Sterling quintet for the third time in l944-45. The score board read Sterling 48, Dixon 30. Vaile paced Dixon with 9 points. l Left to Right: Phyllis Phalen, Rosemary McClain, Pauline Bay, Lorraine Baker, Margaret Wolbart. Take a healthy pair of lungs, a real school spirit, loyalty, vivacity and mix well-and you have our cheerleaders. Two cheerleaders this year who were vet- erans from last year were Rosemary Mc- Clain, and Pauline Bay, and three new juniors, Lorraine Baker, Margaret Wolbart, and Phyllis Phalen, were chosen from many students who tried out for cheerleading at the beginning of this year. Each one of them has worked faithfully, and the group showed that it had backed our teams all the way. They spent many hours practicing and proved their loyqlity by cheering us to victory or bowing gracefully to defeat. The one blonde member of the cheering squad was Pauline Bay, captain of the team and oldest member. She was first accepted as a cheerleader during her freshman year. She has put in four splendid years as a cheerleader and is in the graduating class of this year. Pauline always cheered strenu- ously and so long at each game that her THE CHEERLEADERS voice was often nothing but a whisper for the next two daysl Rosemary McClain, another veteran from last year and also a member of our grad- uating class, was co-captain of the cheer- leaders. She first came out on the squad in her sophomore year. Although not very tall, Rosy really covers territory with her cheers. Lorraine, Phyllis, and Margaret are the three cheerleaders who will remain as cheerleaders next year. Lorraine Baker, one of the new mem- bers of the squad, has the volume to send the cheers echoing throughout possible hearing distance. The other new member of the cheer- leading section is Margaret Wolbart, who does her cheering with great ease and grace. Together with the other two cheerleaders, Margaret will be kept busy with her weekly practices. A tiny girl, brunette, and with lots of pep, describes Phyllis Phalen. With pep such as Phyllis possesses, the spectators couldn't help but join in the cheering. She is a member of the class of '46, The graduating class of l945 wishes the best of luck to the future cheerleaders. If they prove to be as competent next year as they have been the past year, we shall all be proud of them. TRACK Coaches A. C. Bowers and Marvin Win- ger were determined to have the best track team possible for the season. This spring they kept the thin-clad men diligently prac- ticing for the meets to come. The success or failure of the team depended upon the returning lettermen. These seniors, juniors and sophomores were the key to whether Dixon hadawinningoralosingteam. Fredlvleinkesen- ior letterman, specialized in the weights and broad jump. John McLean competed in the shotput and the hurdles. James Murray was expected to go places in the distance runs and sophomore Jack Schultz carried Dixon's hopes for points in the dashes. Besides these lettermen there were many upper and lower classmen who made the team. Seniors, Ken Carroll and Harold Ris- dong juniors, Gerald Hink, Christ Christ, Jack Hackett, George Acker, Bob Dennison: sophomores, Bob McCaffey, Jim McMillion, Walter Ortgeisen, Bryan Cannon, Don Mc- Lean, Carrol Schumacher, and Alvin Moel- ler had competed before and added greatly to Dixon's placing ability. A large corps of promising freshmen was expected to turn out this year. Among them are Barton, Keeney, Hill, Magnafici, Metzler, Bowers, Steinbrinck, and Valve. Many of these boys had experience in the annual grade school meets. Dixon has been handicapped in previous years by a lack ol in- terest in track. It was hoped that such would not be the case this year. At one time Dixon had one of the best track teams in this part of the state, but while she has almost always had one or two individual stars, she has not had a consistently win- ning team in over five years. Dixon lost only three lettermen by grad- uation last year, and though their number was small, they were missed. Several other promising men were lost to the armed forces. At the time this article was written all the meets had not been scheduled, but a sufficient number were on the calendar to know that Dixon would meet some stiff competition this year. A tentative list in- cludes: SCHEDULE OF MEETS Princeton at Princeton Rockford Relays at Rockford ..... May 5th Sterling Varsity at Dixon ........ May 8th Sterling Frosh-Soph at Sterling. .May lOth Sectional meet at Rockford ..... May l lth State meet at Champaign. .May l8th-l9th Mendota at Dixon ............ May 22nd N. C. l. C. meet at Sterling .... May 25th Rochelle E Rock Falls Polo and Mount Morris in a triangular meet Besides these, several post card meets will probably be held with Ottawa, Byron, and Freeport. GOLF Suffering rather a heavy loss in players, the golf team this year relied on two re- maining lettermen, Bob Brotherton and Bud Lair. Those players lost because of graduation were Don Bowers, Dean Harri- son, Don Emmert, and Bill Goff. The latter three are now serving in the United States Navy. Last year the Dukes trampled over the Sterling squad three times and bowed to Princeton once. Dixon's pasture-pool boys. failed to place at Rockford in the district meet last year. With a rather inexperienced squad, with the exception of two juniors, Bob Brother- ton and Bud Lair, Mr. Fridolf Lundholm set about this year to prepare a squad for some stiff competition, most of which will come from the Rockford squads. However, only time will tell how success- ful this year's squad will be and also how experienced and capable main competitors are in shooting around par. TENNIS Like all other sports tennis was hard hit by the demand for men in the armed forces. All schools, including Dixon, lost many out- standing tennis players, 'led Mason, who in the Navy,was Dixon's mainthreatto opposing teams. He placed second last year and went to the state finals. Goff and Lair, returning letter- men, did not do so well due to stiff compe- tition. Riley also ran into that same prob- lem. The Dukes won the conference, how- ever. Mason won the singles and Lair and Riley won the doubles. This year Lair, Don Russell, Bob Brotherton, joe Eggebrecl1t,Stanley Mack, and Wayne Williams entered in comp- etition. Because of the few returning lettermen, many inexperienced fellows will have a chance on the Dukes' raclcet squad. U3 WQEIDQ V-5 My 7 f P . 1, f X I ax f ,-5 f UF?
