YLVISAKER Have oti noticed a new attitude in our school? This new life has been brought about by a new theme -CO-OPERATION. Our new principal- leader, efficient organizer is known for his constant good humor; his interest in everyone: as an advocate of discipline while at the same time he is the impersonation of kindliness. Ilis Philosophy” has been introduced to us through his never ceasing efforts to improve conditions here. We are all acquainted with Blanche Harfst. As you all know she is the hard working, ever working, quiet and efficient office secretary. Josephine Riehl, who is always pleasant and cheerful, handles the problems of the outer office, is Mr. Ylvisaker's private secretary, and the general information bureau for students. THE BOARD The Board of Education, our base of support, is the second element in co-operative education. They are constant thinking of the students, our problems, wants, and needs, and how to solve them satisfactorily. As a result we have the Leyden Community High School of 1941, its faculty and students. This car. two of the Board’s most faithful members. Mrs. Dodge and Mr. Mueller, are retiring after a full term of service. Their loyalty to Leyden is our guidance to success. P A R ENTS The parents have had much school activity this year. A new program introduced by the new' administration has gone forward with much enthusiasm among parents, teachers and students alike. It is based on total co-operation. Parent Nights after each grading period have been a new feature. Parents at school when their boys and girls are not in trouble builds a more underdtanding, healthful School-communitx relationship. Teachers at the homes makes the expression Home Room Teacher” meaningful. Co-operation—guidance understanding- watchwords of true democracy. ENGL, ,Tho-a •«. .

Here we have set down our observations of their traits! The efficient system in our library is the result of fastidious MISS THOMAS’ efforts. Her freshmen give MISS MURPHY plenty of material for stories to tell her upperclassmen. MISS RAUSCH is vitally interested in the individual personalities of her underclassmen, so she spends a good deal of time encouraging them. Any thing Spanish has the interest, and usually the approval of MISS LAPORTE. Any signs of worry to he noticed on MISS MALONEY’S person are dead-line worries in putting forth this annual. The aide telling of stories is one of the personality traits of Nebraska-born MISS FLOOD. His stock of knowledge gleaned from other sources helps to enliven his science classes? (BOTTS). The small, dapper young man, striding toward the tennis courts for his favorite relaxation is MR. STARK. MR. STEEL form an expert combination with Mr. Meyers in the playing of his avocation bridge. The careers of three daughters in high school fill out the spare time for M R. ATSON. 'Lhe enlightenment of students in regards to the true state of foreign affairs is one of M R. ENGBERG S objectives at school. Our newly-married MR. MOSER is often amused by the excuses given by tardy upperclass hoys. The enlargement of her collection of classical records takes a sizeable j ortion of MISS HEIMES pay-check. MR. KRUEGER has an inexhaustible store of anecdotes about sports, music, anything at ham! for the edification of his band. Underclass girls: If you want to keep on the friendly side of MRS. LALOR, don't come late for school. The able handling of routine matters is under the supervision of MRS. IIARFST. MR. YLVISAKER’S insistence on everybody’s developing his own philosophy, is only one of the many things which distinguishes our principal. A recent graduate, MISS STEGER has returned to render invaluable aid in the office. MISS RIEIIL is known locally as Leyden's Singing Steno. Ice skating, bookkeeping, and little Johnny are MR. ADS Vi ORTH’S prime delights. Tripping the light fantastic affords MISS DAVIS her principle enjoyment. Charming MISS MILLER is always seen cheering at our basketball events. Teaming up with Mr. Steel in a bridge game of experts vies with gastronomical delights for the favor of MR. MEAER. Johnny-on-the-spot is the name given to dependable MISS LOW E. Rhumbas, tangos, and comic dances seem to he MISS (SLEW'S chief way of delighting and amusing her faculty friend? . This hard-working teacher has. as one of his outside activities, assumed the responsibility of leading a cub scout troop. RERUCH . Industrial arts—excellent . . speaks well for MR. HACKETT'S efforts to ready the youths of our community for participation in the local defense program. The new arrival from Rockford. MR. TAMBLINGSON, has impressed the entire student body with quiet, business-like air. All forms of sport interest our physical education teacher, MISS STRAND. DOCTOR FRANCES—the man who gets the students out of elasses to examine their teeth. MRS. FLYNN'S never-ending job is to keep all Leydenitesin -l physical condition The first thought of injured Leydenites is “call the school physician , DR. FRYBARGER. 'That gentleman from the South Coach England takes an active interest in tennis, basketball, baseball, ami anything else that could he classed under the heading, sports. 7 History of Expansion As time seems to pull us on anrl on we struggle to gain a more ideal position in life anil make dreams into realities along the way. The Hoard of Kducation of Leyden High School was born of the times. It rose as the seed of improving education was developed. Those first few who put together their lime and effort to construct a building of learning for this community are the foundation of this high shook In the earlv year of 1924 the era of expansion started. No longer were those two portables behind the grammar school adequate. The Board, active to their responsibilities, aroused public sentiment in favor of a real high school building and, after overcoming many difficulties, they finally succeeded in producing the main branch which was erected in 1926. The Leyden was one of the first Community” high schools in Illinois. It held seventy-eight students and six teachers. The spirit of loyalty in young Leyden was fast growing and the bonds of friendship between magistrate and pupil were tier! around an eager stir for concentrated education. Again, as time pressed on, the Hoard visualized another need for expansion. They realized, then, that a college preparatory course alone was not sufficient. As a result, physical education, industrial arts, home economics and music were added. It was then, too. that they moved the portables along side the building and prefixed the hand room addition, set up a track, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, ami a hockey field. All these gave evidence of a Hoard alive to its obligations for a diversified educational program. We owe much to that first bodv who dedicated their time to Leiden High. • m C Two of those members, Mrs. Ada .1. Dodge and Mr. W. F. C. Mueller have served the Hoard of Education for a term of seventeen years (without monetary compensation) and are this year retiring. It is with a feeling of appreciation and of gratitude for their long, faithful years of service that we watch these pioneers recede. May their earnest work and faith remain with us and guide us on this path of expansion. Today these numerable walls envelop six-hundred and five students and twenty-five teachers.

As a glimpse at ’Classroom Life’ evidenced on these two pages reveals Leyden in the spirit of the better secondary schools of the nation offers wide variation in opportunities in order to train a happy, efficient citizenry. We have an ever increasing number of ’Shop’ courses, broad training in ’Commercial,’ inspirational Home Management, and have maintained and enriched our courses of the ’Cultural and ’College Preparatory’ variety. 1(1 History Expansion Cont. a new wing containing a modern cafeteria and equipment for wood shop, metal shop, and drawing. These new developments caine as a fulfillment of a necessity for more skilled workers and trained mechanics in the outside world. Leyden is now better prepared to serve and lead its students into an honest workers path of endeavor. There are. beside those already mentioned, other new branches added to the curriculum: Speech and Consumer Science. A new Club Program has also been initiated to afford a diversion in amusements for every student. In this you will find clubs of dramatics, cooking for boys, shop for girls, jitterbug dancing, radio, and even chess. We Leydenites still have the same spirit of loyalty that was imbedded in 1921. With all our powers we strive to understand more fully the sportsmanship needed in athletics; the judgment needed in student government: and the receptiveness necessary to broaden education. We look forward and upward for the future of Leyden, for its natural trend must ever be outlying. Our enlivened desires reach farther to see our school bigger and better than ever. We want to see, along with this growth in material environment, an increase in universal appreciation of true co-operation, companionship, and education.

President I ice-President Secretary Treasurer Class of 41 The Class of ’41 again joins hands, but this time we say goodbye” to a pleasant high school career. We have been a good-natured class and have tried our best to build Leyden into a still better school. Now we pause to glance at ourselves in relation to school and the school’s relationship to us. We see several peaks on the road, but mostly we feel a keen spirit of unity within the class and a consistent, thoughtful broadening for the total good. Oh! We have individual leaders, too. but ours is the class most remembered for its willingness to sacrifice the individual for the general good. The boys have been the more aggressive-—why. as sophomores our class officers were entirely made up of boys; Ja Fmigh, John and Dick Doss, anti Bill Greeley. As juniors, with the thoughts of the prom and play and with the boys still holding the control of numbers. we elected Ethel Kotlow treasurer, to assist Edwin Malenius president. Hill Greeley, vice-president, and Dick Dess secretary. Friendlv rivalrv in salesmanship has awarded the girls two parties—the first, last year, after the very successful junior pla , American. Very Early”, and the other, following the diflicult costume play of the 1860's, Mignonette”. These showings again prompted us to do our best, for all hands joined to make a successful prom. Ours was the thrill of playing host at the first prom ever to be staged away from the campus and of being the first class to afford the privilege of bringing underclassmen to the affair. Vi llen the local chapter of the National Honor Society was given a charter in 1940, four of our class made up the junior membership. Additional members were selected in the succeeding vear. As seniors we assumed leadership and co-operated in the establishment of the new framework for a student council. We hope that this council will he of lasting value to the future generations of Leyden. We felt the school growth and with it the danger of losing that close contact of the older and younger students. So we co-operated again in the establishment of the Older Girls' Council. Hill Greeley , Mary Jane Nielsen, Jay Fmigh, and Mary Fiori served as senior officers to the largest graduation class to date—56 girls and 64 boys. As we approach June 19. graduation day, we wish to express awareness of and thanks for that deep bond of understanding evident in our able class sponsors. Miss Maloney and Mr. Wadsworth.

Rut tin book isn't out until June you say. Well, without the careful supervision of production and finance by Miss Maloney and Mr. Wadsworth. and co-operation of interested students through the year, the book wouldn't be out in June. Hetty Jean Watson served as editor-in-chief with the able assistance of Betty Graber as photographic editor; Harold Mortensen, production manager; Richard Doss, layout edition; and Marjorie Michels, copy editor. The business manager was Charlotte Hernstrom. Of course it was our desire to produce the best book Leyden has had,- to aid in that we knew we needed expert advise- so to the convention! The State High School Press Convention in Lrbana, inspired our young staff with ambition and determination. Round table discussions helped develop a definite progress of ideas. 11 w as LEYDEN EYE STAFF M. Enger E. McNamara I). Philip I). Doss E. Kotlow R. Graber M. Michels J. Merrill L. Sanderlin L.

Long hours in room 26 after the other students and teachers had gone home seemed justifiable after the day spent down at the Engraving Plant. The big prints from Root’s Studio were so good, we were often tempted to go over our budget. Since expansion” was the topic most thoueht about, the staff also felt the urge to expand something as a result note the eight extra pages. LEYDEN ITE Inspiration, inspiration, please come to me. To-night is the dead line for my article and Miss Rausch is going to be very perturbed if I don t get it in. Twenty ambitious students chasing here and there for a last minute story, a scoop or inavbe even a head line that’s the Leydenite staff. They work hard to publish our school paper twice monthly and Miss Rausch, Miss Miller, and Miss Davis give much of their time in lending a hand to the cause. Rut all work and no play isn't good for anyone so to remedy this situation the staff has given several parties. Eventful among them were the Christmas party its pot-luck supper.” ami the springtime jubilee. THE LEYDENITE STAFF R. Debus (Editor) 11. Burchard R. Greene E. Malenius L. Draper M. Dolan R. Miller P.

Thai's wlial you hear when you enter the music room while the orchestra is rehearsing with Mr. Krueger as director. Its 50 members bad been working diligently to improve themselves and their Spring Concert proved they had done this. Because of the time schedule, the brass and reed sections were able to practice with the string instruments only once a week. This plan worked out successfully though because of the cooperation of players ami director. BAM) Music! Music everywhere! The sound of a band has echoed through our halls and class rooms for eleven years. For it w as in 1930 that the band was originated, claiming as its director Mr. Stark, with Mr. Krueger as assistant. Later, however, due to the expansion of the school Mr. Stark was called upon for other duties and Mr. Krueger assumed sole responsibility of the band. This past year it has boasted a membership of 86 with quite a few outstanding musicians, including several composers and arrangers. A few of our boys were so outstanding that they were claimed by the National Guard and Marine bands to be one of their own.” The outstanding event of the year was the Mid-W inter concert presented in February. NKW YORK OR BIST This slogan had a definite meaning to all the members of the band, so to New York it was. The band had been invited by the uflicials of New York World's Fair to play some of its melodic melodies: so on July 25 the band and its rooters left New York bound! The two days in the city were spent giving concerts, marching through the Fair grounds, sight-seeing at the Statue of Liberty, enjoying Coney Island, and just looking around. One concert was so effectively given that when their version of Stormy Weather was presented it really did storm. The trip home was made by way of Niagara Falls, whe-e a full day of sightseeing was enjoyed. First I intin H. Hillemeyer G. Traulwein T. orlhev V. Brott J. Charleston A. Stutzke Second iidin A.

No. no. face your audience.” Those are very familiar lines to anybody who was in the senior play. Mignonette was presented by the Senior Class on November 29 and 30 under the direction of Miss Emma La Porte. This play was the first serious drama we have had for quite some time. It displayed costumes of the Civil War period. Mignonette—a girl loved by everyone, especially Jonathan Mills—was an aspiring young artist who was known every where for her lovely painting. Rose, Jonathan's granddaughter, lived Mignonette’s life over again when she read Mignonette’s diary. When Mignonette told Jonathan Mills she would marry him. and then a few hours later announced that she was going to marry David Frames was a night not to be forgotten. It was all in the diary.

College life would be great if it were as sill as it is in Spring Fever. The play, written by Glenn Hughes, was presented by the Junior Class under the direction of Miss Emma La Porte. Poor Mrs. Spangler (Doris Thew)! She keeps a rooming-house at Brookfield College and never knows where half her roomers are. Especially the day before Commencement! With Ed experimenting on a substitute for dynamite, Vic (William Ly ford) painting in the living room, and Howard (Lero Steingraber) trying to type his term paper, it is practically a mad house! Lou Herron (Winifred Callfas). a journalism student, breezes in every now and then to use the typewriter and mavbe to see Ed. When Anne Purcell (Phyllis Orrick) forgets to reserve rooms at the hotel for her parents (Edward Ruff and Grace Hachmeister) she asks Howard, of course, to take her father as a partner for the night. Anne and Vivian, Vic’s girl, put on a deathbed scene to get Anne’s father to sign a paper promising a new Science building, but Vic’s mustache falls off and the deception is discovered. Through the tireless effort of Miss La Porte and the entire Junior cast the play was a great success.

This lime it is with two new important organizations: the Student Council and Older (rirls Council. I he Student Council was started hy a few democratic-minded students who realized the need of such a council. on sec here the product of close electing and concentrated efforts combined to form an organization which will give students a voice in the school government. I he most env ied position in Leyden is membership in the National Honor Society. The Leyden Chapter started in l(M() and selected its members according to their leadership, scholarship, and service. Five members of H have also been chosen by that pattern ami initiated. This Honor Society always presents an annual banquet for its members ami their parents and teachers. Tils banquet is always a beautiful and pleasant occasion and winds up the school year with good merits. Our faithful cheerleaders have again hrougli the crowd to the edges of their seats with excitement. We saw their true colors w hen they turned out night after night for the basketball games and swayed the crowd of students with encouragement for the team. You can alw ays depend on these spirit-raising yellers to he on the green when there's cheering to he done. The Girls Council was formed to give more courage and aid to younger students and to make Leyden a more attractive school. They believe in the good, the rue, ami the beautiful, and have shown this by giving a series of showcase displays of jewelry, china, handkerchiefs, and other interesting articles. This council is capable of great achievements because it keeps in contact with other Girls' Councils in other schools anti attends annual conventions. It is comj osed of Junior and Senior girls who want to do their share by being useful to Leyden ami the community. 34 ATHLETICS HEAVY WEIGHT FOOTBALL Back Kmc—Mu. England, Coach; G. Smii : T.

FOOTBALL I In lull starling of school this year gave football candidates a decided disadvantage. Before the hoys were situated right, two very close games were lost to Arlington Heights (2-0) and Niles (7-3). Then the team came through with a 14-13 triumph over X oodstock followed by a sure victory over arren. By this time Coach England had strengthened the line considerably and a passing combination of Kcrth to Pruter had developed. The Kagles then fought it out to a tie with a strong Crystal Lake eleven on their field, for Homecoming, the last game of the season. Leyden plaved Libertyville, one of tin strongest conference teams in many years. Although they lost the game, they did not do it dishonorably,’for they played their best game of the season. Captain Harold Pederson, handicapped by injuries the first of the year, came through brilliantIv and Frank Pruter, pass snaring end, was chosen as the player most valuable to the team. Under Mr. Bolt s guidance the lightweight football team did very well this year. Playing only four games hut winning three of them, they produced an enviable record. BASKETBALL I here wasn t much said the first of the year about basketball, hut enthusiasm grew by leaps ami hounds as the team piled up one victory after another. The starting lineup of the Doss twins. Pruter, Bogacz, and Fox came to he a by-word around Leyden. Losing only three games, and those by close margins, the Leyden eagers ended up a strong third in the conference race. They then entered the District Tournament in top form, and fighting all the wav through, came out in a runner-up position. In their first game of the regionals, the Kagles put up a stand that won't he forgotten around Leyden for quite a while. They led the Proviso quintet most of the game, hut in the last minute of play the title was turned and the boys from Maywood won (41-37). Adolph Bogacz, who sparked the team at guard, was chosen captain for the year. I nder the capable management of Mr. Steel the Leyden Ponies went through the season rivaling the heavyweights in producing thrillers. Bearing down all the wav they came out in a tie for third in a strong light-weight conference. Coach England's varsity quintet of next year will undoubtedly be shaped from the fine prospects on this lightweight team. INTRAM I HAL BASKETBALL More interest than ever before was shown in the intramural basketball tournament this year. Every homeroom sponsored a team which coveted the championship enough to put out all they had to win it. Out of the heap of battling eagers rose Mr. Kngberg's Sophomores, a team that rightly deserved to win because of its sportsmanship and good play. 36 HEAVYWEIGHT BASKKTBAU. Top Row—J. Nuzzo; F.

Jagade SPRING SPORTS Chances for the Leyden baseball team, under Mr. a I son's direction, were high this year despite the fact that cpiile a number of boys were stolen by graduation last year. The reason for the g N d prospects was the large turnout and interest shown as the season began. TRACK A few of the Leyden runners, coached hv lr.Bolts, got a good early start this year and with early enthusiasm shown all around, a strong conference season was seen. Some outside relays plus the District meet rounded out an interesting season for the traeksters. TENNIS AND GOLF Both tennis and golf, coached by Mr. Moser and Mr. Engberg, are still in their infancy at Leyden, yet there was a very good following shown in these sports. The great enjoyment that can be derived from them is the main reason for interest, although a conference schedule plus a general conference meet were had this year. a. a. Top Roto—J. Zupkkku; M.
