Pictured above are: Mr. Ylvisaker, Principal; Mr. Trumbull, Secretary Mr. Kellerman, President; Miss Brinkerhoff, Trustee; Mr. Trausch, Trustee; and Mr. Kanwischer, Trustee. We, the students of Leyden High, are deeply indebted to the Board of Education not only for providing us with the most modern educational facilities, but also for their interest in our activities. Our principal, Herman Ylvisaker, joined Leyden's faculty in 1940. Previous to that time he was principal at Hinsdale Township High School, and before coming to Illinois he served as principal in the iron-mining section of Michigan. Mr. Ylvisaker obtained his Bachelor' s degree from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and his Master's degree from the University of Chicago. During the course of his studies hie attended the Universities of Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota. For over fifteen years, Wade Steel, Leyden's assistant principal, has taught at Leyden. Mr. Steel received his B.E. Degree at Western Illinois State Teachers College and his 51.S. Degree in 1935 from the University of Illinois. Before coming to Leyden, Mr. Steel was superintendent at Baylis Public School in Baylis, Illinois. During his many years at Leyden he has taught Biology. At the beginning of the 1944-45 school year he was promoted to his present position of assistant principal. FACULTY Martha Ruth Amon- ------------------- ART University of Wisconsin B. S., M. S.

Bill John, Bob Michalowski, Bob Clendening, George Guetzloff, Bob Call-fas, and Art Fraske were the only returning letter men. In an election for captain the team decided that they wanted George Guetzloff, our powerful center, and Bob Michalowski, our passing half-back, as co-captains. In spite of a green team. Coach Joe Botts worked hard with the boys so that they would develop into one of the scrappiest teams in the conference. The majority of the starting team were juniors, so Leyden will have a much more experienced team next year. The Varsity will lose these valuable players by graduation: Bill John, Bob Michalowski, John Phillips, David Baird, George Guetzloff, Bob Callfas, Harry Eilertsen, Bob Johnson, Bob Clendening, and Kiyo Norikane. 1944 SCHEDULE Crystal Lake 27 Leyden 6 Libertyville 12 Leyden 6 Arlington Heights 38 Leyden 6 Woodstock 7 Leyden 2 Lake Forest 19 Leyden 0 Warren 14 Leyden 13 Proviso J-V 19 Leyden J-V 6 Niles 0 Leyden 0 Immaculate Conception 0 Leyden 37 Row Is Takemura, Dolamore, Blanchard, Herndon, Kraabel, Davis, DeNeui.

Our oross-oountry team ended its 1944-45 season v ith three meets won and four lost. As a whole, this year's team looked very impressive, but it should be much better next year. With only three seniors graduating in June, the team will not be hurt Ijy manpower shortage. Quaranta has placed first for Leyden in every meet this year. Tony's best running was in the Proviso Invitational meet, in which twelve schools from Chicago and the suburban area competed. Quaranta came in fourth out of a total of 96 contestants. His other best time was in a meet against Evanston in which he traversed the two mile course in 9:23. Warren Popp averaged second in dual meets. Fred Heard and Norbert Tonczyk averaged third and fourth respectively, with Neumann fifth.

Although unable to win the Conference Championship, the Eagles defeated the winners on two occasions and produced the Conference's leading scorer in Alvin Robertson. A1 ran up a total of 175 points for an average of 11.6 points per game. Coach St. John's entire starting lineup will be lost by graduation. They are Tony Mazzulla, captain of both the 1943-44 and 1944-45 teams, Alvin Robertson, George Guetzloff, Bill John, and Bob Lofgren. But with the return of several letter men and especially strong replacements from the frosh-soph squad, prospects for an outstanding team in 1945-46 are good. LETTER MEN Capt.

FRESH-SOPH BASKETBALL TEAM The Fresh-Soph season began well with three straight victories, but later competition proved a little too strong. Though most of their opponents were Junior Varsity teams, the remainder of the games were lost by only two or three points. The boys excelled in teamwork, accurate shooting, and effective passing of the ball. This team was rated as the best Fresh-Soph team in the Northeast Conference. Robert Verhaeghe, Bill Charleston, Robert Kaehler, Robert Ansel. Since ours is the only tennis team in the Northeast Conference, Leyden has had to play Proviso, Morton, Oak Park and York. Here the competition is very strong, but Coach Moser’s boys have been improving every year. The first team is composed of Bill Charleston, Chuck Cramer, Bob Kaehler, Bob Ansel, Dean Anderson, Bob Verhaeghe, Bill Rader, and Carl Orlick. Also out for tennis this year are: Bill Cotsakis, George Greenawalt, George Mohle, Richard Neuberger, Allen Steingraber, Walter Vollers, Eugene Schmuldt, and Ira Hemetet. When the 1945 baseball season opened. Coach Bowlus was greoted by two regulars and six substitutes from last year's squad. After two weeks of training this line-up emerged: Mazzulla at third. Bill John at second, Mike Quaranta at first, Voss catcher, Norikano short stop. Hill left field, Fraske center field, and Robertson right field. Bob Lofgren was to be the main pitcher, with Norikano and Bill Hill to assist him. As yet we do not know what this team can do, but Leyden should prove a threat in the Northeast Conference.

Although hard hit by graduation and losses to the service, the team has improved rapidly and has given a good account of itself in every meet. While not of the calibre of the 1944 team, which was rated the best in the history of the school, the 1945 Eagles give every indication of more balance, and outstanding individual performances in the future. Since only two of this year's squad will be lost by graduation, and the team's most consistent point winners are sophomores and juniors. Coaches St. John and Botts are quite optimistic about the prospects for the coming year.

Twenty homerooms entered teams in the tournament and there were some hotly contested games leading up to the final affair. However the battle between the Guetzloff brothers in the finale was the high light of the tournament. Ernest Thielberg was high point for Miss Weston, while Dave Brewer won that honor for Mr. Botts. Leyden's gym is a busy place as all Leydenites are aware so it was necessary to hurry this tournament through. That was accomplished by playing two games at a time, one on each end of the floor. The rule governing the piay was that each team shot at the same goal, changing from offense to defense by advancing the ball out beyond the ten second line on the court. In other words Miss Weston's team might have had possession of the ball and drove in for a shot. The rebound however could have been taken by a boy on Mr. Botts's team. Before he or a team mate could shoot they had to advance the ball out beyond the ten second line and drive in again. The Homeroom tournament is an annual affair at Leyden and has been held each year for more than seven years. L 9 i6 The L Club is an honor club limited to boys who have won a major letter in athletics. Letters may be won in six sports, namely football, cross country, basketball, track, baseball and tennis. The main purpose of the club is to promote better athletics in school and foster a spirit of sportsmanship and fraternity among club members. The L Club has been interested in haxx monitory duty curing the lunch periods. It has in the past assumed responsibility for the athletic part of Freshman Day, sponsoring a track meet. It has aided in the clothing collection as sponsored on a nation wide basis. Before times of food rationing the club sponsored each year a Father and Son Banquet, especially planned to honor boys who won letters during the school year. The banquet was held usually in May. The present officers of the club are, Bill John President, Tony Mazzulla Vice-President, and Charles Puglia Secretary-Treasurer.

Dp, up, and over it goes'. Volley ball is a very popular sport with the girls and a lot of excited yelling and screaming goes on when it is being played in the Gym. Moaning, groaning on their Way, the girls from Gym have this td say: I'll never be the same no more----That exercise sure makes me sore! Yes, after the first day of calisthenics the bones and muscles of the girls from Gym class really ache and ache and ache. Hey1. Where's my shoe? Help me find my shoe'. I can't go to class without it. Oh, for Pete's sake'. Somebody stepped ail over my skirt—the nerve of some people's children. ... These exclamations must be familiar to you—stop and think—oh, yes, of course, they're from the girls' locker room. They're trying to put themselves together again after a strenuous hour of gym and having the usual amount of trouble doing so. Ail is confusion as the girls rush here and there, taking their showers (maybe'.), exchanging local gossip, and singing lustily, or worse yet, harmonizing. Most of the girls will gripe about taking showers and their hair being disheveled after an hour of gym, but they'll all agree that they have a lot of fun—because they really relax, forgetting any possible troubles. Because Leyden has a larger enrollment of students than ever before, two girls' Physical Education teachers are needed. We have very capable ones. Miss Clapper and Miss Coffland, who came to us in September. The activities of the year are varied according to the weather. On comfortable warm days at the beginning of the year you can see the girls trotting around the track, leaping over hurdles, (some walk around them), crawling on their stomachs in the sand under benches, and jumping off a ladder into a sand pit. This all means that they are going through the obstacle course, which is similar to the type used by the Army. During the year the girls are also exposed to basketball, volleyball, tumbling, calisthenics, baseball, hockey, and soccer. Here's howl says Shirley Schierhorn, G.A.A. President, as she shows Jean Smoczynski and Gloria Piz-zirulli that little extra something about hockey. Miss Clapper is arranging a Pennie that the girls wear when taking part in this game. Bobby Swedenborg (with that soulful expression in her eyes) is ready to put the ol' ball in the basket. Behind her stand Marie Giammalva, Kay Hastings,, Dorothy Mullins, Dot Roediger, and Gloria Pizzirulli. Here we have some really expert tumblers. Most of these girls have appeared in professional shows. About to take the plunge is Pat Meyers, and left to right arei Charlotte Kaiser, Shirley Smith, Rose Meyer, and La Verne Fialka. GIRLS' INTRAMURALS Something new has been added. This year the girls were fortunate in having the chance to organize basketball and softball teams and compete with each other. Yes, everyone from the smallest Freshman to the tallest Senior was eligible to participate if she so desired. There were six basketball teams to start with, but one was eliminated because of an insufficient number of players, bnirley Schierhorn's team beat Pat Trumbull's in the finals. The losing team was a scrappy bunch made up mostly of Freshmen; they show much promise for the future. The winning players were: Shirley Schierhorn, Connie Frybarger, Lois Cundiff, Elaine Taubman, Marilyn Peterson, Joyce Pederson, Donna Herrington, and Joan Molsberry. Intramurals promise to be very popular in the future if the girls continue to respond with the enthusiasm they displayed this year. Here1s a pair of rugged (?) individuals for you. (Take a gander at that snow on the ground, will you? They’re only posing, not ready to play) Yes, typical Leyden girls—Mary Fox, GAA Tennis Manager, and Margaret Petrie. After-school tennis is quite popular. Two in a shower and don't they loo happy about it though'. Must be because they're just pretending and really have their clothes on. The admonition, Don't forget your showers, girls usually elicits a simultaneous groan. Left to right: Jean Smoczynski, Kay Hastings, Gloria Pizzirulli, LaVerne Fialka, Alice Cundiff, Lois Cunaiff and Dorothy Roediger. The Girls' Athletic Association, commonly known s the G.A.A. is an organization of approximately 130 girls. The officers are: Shirley Schierhorn, President; Margaret Petrie, Vice President; Lois Cundiff, Secretary; and Loyola Sachs, Treasurer. • The G.A.A. is active in many worthwhile activities such as gathering books for the boys at Vaughan General Hospital, and collecting clothes for the people of war-torn Europe. They had their annual Date party on March 16th and a Father and Daughter Banquet was planned for May. Basketball, softball, tennis, and hockey are their after-school sports. Hegular teams were organized for basketball and softball with a lot of enthusiastic girls participating. The initiation of new girls into the club was an event not soon forgotten. Girls were transformed into queer creatures with their hair in seven braids, wearing multicolored hairbows, perhaps a checked blouse and a striped skirt, and little tin cans tied around their necks, iou may wonder what the containers were for. Every time a student approached this odd specimen and dropped a penny into the can, the poor girl had to wiggle while repeating ftiggle, wiggle, I'm a worm. The pennies that the worms earned were given to the Vaughan General Hospital for Christmas. The Student Council is the governing body of Leyden high school. WHAT IS ITS PURPOSE?

I Last fall a yearbook was just a wild dream to a group of seniors, but they started the ball rolling and the idea spread like a prairie fire. The obstacles of war-time restrictions and money were finally overcome. Miss Tamm, who left ueyden in January, was an important factor in making the annual a reality. She organised the staff, got the companies to do the work, and gave much needed advice and encouragement. The staff as it started out is pictured on the top of the opposite page, but because of sports and other things which interfered, some of those pictured were not able to help. The staff which did the actual work is as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Vera Markwitz; literary editor, Mary Fox; social editor, Dorothy Starkweather, with Elaine Taubman, Shirley Ohlhaber, George Trautwein, Bob Califas, Kiyo Norikane, George Guetzloff, and Fred Heard as her staff; editor of senior section, Barbara Tuder with Gloria Rende as her assistant; homeroom section, Lorraine Grote; faculty editor, Elaine Warner; sports editor, George Conrad, with Mike Quaranta and Bill John; publicity department, John Phillips and Odin Roe; business manager, Bill Charleston with Emilie Mungenast and Norbert Tonczyk, assistant managers; art editor, Tom Spera, with Daisy Nelson as his assistant; photography, iliss McLeod and Bob O'Connor. The typists are: Mala Berbiglia, Myrtle Getschow, Bobby Ann Armour, Roslyn Turco, Evelyn Howe. After Miss Tamm left, Miss Johns became the faculty advisor. The middle picture shows part of the staff at work looking through other school annuals to get ideas before they start work on our yearbook.

Bob O'Connor, Vera Markwitz and Bob O'Brien are helping the photographer with lights, camera and the picture schedule rushing from room to room to get as many pictures as possible before school is out for the day. Where were you the night of January sixteenth? That question swept through Leyden as the Seniors presented Ayn Rand's play by that name on November 17 and 18. Leyden's stage became a court room where Karen Andre was tried for the murder of the great financial tycoon, Bjorn Faulkner. The play was unusual in that no one knew whether she would be found guilty or innocent. A jury picked from the audience decided her fate. Incidentally, at both performances she was declared innocent.

Leyden Band with Mr. iCincheloe, director; Al Robertson, captain; Norine Ganshirt, majorette. The band, directed by K. V. Kincheloe, may be called the most versatile musical organization in Leyden. Musical tastes range from Schubert to boogie-poogie. Favorites are the first movement of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and At the Gremlin Ball. Due to wartime transportation difficulties, the band was not able to fulfill all of its regular outside activities during the year. However, it was able to attend the 1941 Fourth of July celebration in Racine, Wisconsin, participating with over 50 other organizations, also going to the American Legion Youth Convention Parade and playing for the Sea-Scouts' inspection and presentation of awards at the Chicago Naval Armory. In addition to these events, band displays at all home football games, the Homecoming celebration, playing for assemblies pep band for basketball, in addition to the regular Music Department concerts. • Some of the soloists sent to the district contest in Wheaton in April of 1945 are George Faulkes, Robert Verhaege, Betty Verhaege, Virginia Shaver, James Boyd, Babe Johnson, Minnie Chiarelli and Jack Harding. The orchestra, while smaller and not as colorful as the band, nevertheless does not lag far behind—either musically or socially. Also directed by Mr. Kincheloe, the orchestra plays music that is mostly in the classical vein, but don't think classical music dampens the spirits of its players—one look at the group's '44—'45 calendar will give manifold evidence to the contrary. Being a smaller, and for that reason a more mobile group than the band, it does not have much difficulty in moving itself and its instruments hither, thither, and yon. Probably the event that gave the orchestra members their greatest thrill was playing at the Service Mens' Center No. 1 last winter Other musical activities included playing for the junior and senior dramas, accompanying the chorus' operetta, Mothers' Day program at the school, as well as the usual Commencement Exercises and assemblies. All this in addition to an extra rehearsal every Monday night'. Soloists sent to the Wheaton contest were—Andre Butenschoen, inez Palxey, William Cotsakis, George Trautwein. Theorcnestra also provided tv o accompanists for the contest—Dian Beals and Virginia West. Officers are Dian Beals - President, George Trautwein - vice president, Florence Puccini - secretary. The twirlers add glamour to the band. Norine Gan-shirt, drum major, leads and directs the band while it is marching. Gloria Pizzirulii and Marilyn Gruschow are her assistants. They receive the signals from Norine and then together they give it to tne band. Minnie Chiarelli, head twirler, heads the rest of the twirlers Jack Harding, the only boy twirler is not pictured. SAXOPHONES: The saxophones add mellowness to the band. Being both brass and woodwind they blend the two together. Pictured are the tenor and alto saxophones. Bob Ver-haeghe is the head of the whole section. Bill Charxes-ton is the head of the tenor part. He is also assistant director. Swing music is the favorite of the section. On the picture are: xeft to right - Bob verhae-ghe, Charmaine Cites, Carl Jacobsen, Dorothy Shaver, Caroline Tenerelli, Clifford Knight, Joyce Sabatke, Elaine England, Mildred Charleston, Bill Charleston, Donald Brown, George Donovan. Leo Wallace, who is not pictured, is the baritone saxophone player. TRUMPET: The trumpets add the brass sound you hear coming from the band. The section has improved very much from last year. A1 Robertson, captain of the band, is the first chair player. They are most important on the march and therefore like march music best because then they can really send the listeners with their solid sending. Since they wanted a different picture their faces are not shown. But they are the first ten players of the trumpet section. ADVANCED CHORUS BEGINNING CHORUS Leyden's very fine chorus, under the leadership of Robert E. Bowlus has had one of its busiest seasons in many years. Like the other musical groups at Leyden, its musical tastes vary widely—the liturgical music of Palestrina and selections from the musical coneay Oklahoma being the favorite selections of both singers and director. The chorus' trip to see tne show OKlahoma last fall was one of the high spots of the year for its members—judging from the pleased comments circulating around the school for months afterward. Probably the greatest achievement of the choxnis this year its presentation of the musical comedy Tune In in conjunction with the orchestra, Many months of training and rehearser went into its production, and a great deal of credit should be given to hlr. bowlus and Miss Serven for their hard work. Don't forget to throw a nosegay the churus' way for making it as colorful a show as it w s—and also to the lead characters, whose heroic efforts put the sho?; over in a big way. Important members of the cast were: Gloria Rende, Yliiliis bill, Bernadette Burton, Carl Cotsakis, Elaine Guhl, George Guetzloff, Charles Puglia, George Conrad, Melvin Mueller, Earle Cliver, Arthur Kedlund, Ealeanor Ratzka, Barbara Tuder, and Marilyn Peterson. The soloists who were entered in the contest at Vihea-ton were: Gloria Rende, Elaine Guhl, sopranos - Marian Dhooge, mezzo - Renee Oberg, Alto - Jim Macecari and Melvin Mueller, tenors - Earle Cliver and George Guetzloff, Basses. ✓ The operetta TUNE IN was presented on March 10 by the chorus and directed by Miss Servin and Mr. Bowlus. The struggles of a bankrupt radio station, of Mitzi who wanted a singing career on the radio, and the efforts of the announcer and the technicians to keep the other Mitzi, the wife of the sponsor who also wanted to sing but had no talent, from singing made this a truly enjoyable musical comedy.

The night before Homecoming, a big bonfire and Snake Dance was held. Fred Heard, chairman of the Snake Dance, got some logs and built a huge fire. The cheerleaders led cheers ana Coach Botts was there to see that the football bqys went home early. The students carried the Coach on their shoulders around the bonfire while the rest of the students sang the Leyden royalty. Each of the football boys had his- turn, after which they went home to get a good night's sleep so they could play their best the nest day at the big game. The crowd worked themselves up and got into a long line and went uptown singing and yelling all the cheers and Leyden songs. The Coronation took place in an afternoon assembly at which the Queen and her Court were escorted into the gym by the football squad. The Queen came in last carrying a large bouquet of red roses. Bob Michalowstci, co-captain, had the honor of crowning the Queen with a crown of carnations. The assembly was planned by Dorothy Starkweather, arid the coronation by Bob Califas. Immediately after the assembly, the parade was started led by the band with tne Queen and her Court following in a truck decorated by Carl Jacobsen. The floats decorated and entered by the various clubs came next followed by cars and a large crowd walking They paraded all over Franklin Park ana then proceed ed to the football field.
