A former Technical Sergeant, Romanovich has 120 missions over 3urma to his credit. Back at Leyden today, he is enrolled in the Veterans' Machine Shop Course. White sparks flare up as a shop boy works in the darkness of the arc-welding room. 7 SOO LINE TOWNS These are the Soo Line towns. Hometowns that rise on the prairies. Their lands are raw, untouched, untamed. They are proven lands, developed, clamoring. Factories—factories with sonorous names comprise them. And long limbs of railroad connect them. And shade trees, a river and crimson barns are found in the heart of them. These are the Soo Line towns- On the main streets pigeons circle about old water towers. And nearby— Smokestacks like steeples of strength rear against the landscape. Grey canvas skies frame the factory-sites. Around them taut wire fences mark neat boundaries. Sharp on the noon breeze are whistles screaming an hour's relief, While timeless stone bridges arch over northern rivers. Work gangs prowl along railroad tracks, Watching for loose spikes, shattered ties. Stubble fields pattern the land And prattling ducks wander through the young corn. There is beauty in the darkness of the Soo Line towns. Beauty in a glowing blast furnace, in the glimmering arc of a switchman's lantern, in crimson sparks like filing handfuls of falling stars. There is a surging beauty over the land. 9 m DCDIGflTC In this machine age which pushes time itself, it's comforting to observe some stead-fast elements in the world about us. One of these is Miss Helen Miller who for twenty-one years has been an active member of Leyden's faculty. We like to believe that Miss Miller exemplifies the spirit of Leyden. In her underlying humor, ability, and inbred poise are found the composites of a truly admirable human being. As the Seniors of 19U7 we are proud our annual to her. to dedicate MISS HELEN MILLER 11 The Board of Directors meets once a month to keep our factory in good working order. It is interesting to know, however, that individual members spend much extra time planning ways to improve our school building, teaching facilities and curricula. We think it is especially noteworthy because they are unsalaried for all the time and effort they give. The president of the board, Mr. Kellermann, lives with his wife and two daughters in Westbrook. Mr. Trumbull has called River Grove home all his life. With his wife and daughter, Pat, he lives just west of the Des Plaines River. Fairview claims Mr. Trausch, although he can also call Luxembourg home. Mr. and Mrs. Trausch have a grocery store in Fairview. Miss Brinkerhoff is well-fitted for work on a school board for she has taught school for a number of years. Mr. Dunn hears a great deal about Leyden beside his work on the board. He has two children, Jimmy and Audrey at Leyden. He and his family are also Franklin Parkers. ELAINE BANING Since graduation last year Elaine has assisted Mr. Steel as his secretary. She is responsible for recording the daily attendance. MRS. WATSON A serene and youthful looking grandmother, Mrs. Watson handles the pay roll instead of crocheting pot-holders. She delivers those white envelopes to the teachers twice monthly, those hard-earned pennies from heaven. MILDRED REED Witty, in a quiet sense. Miss Reed's responsibilities in the office are many. One of the most important to the seniors is keeping their records in order. All the college-bound seniors well know the time she spends filling out their credits and recommendations. 12 PRINCIPAL MR. HERMAN YLVISAKER Not long ago two hundred scientists, engineers, and mathematicians gathered at Harvard University to look at and study a fantastic new machine, a giant calculator which accepts figures in floods and mazes and, quick as a wink,gives answers. Our modern world is filling with marvelous machines, some small enough to be held in the palm of a hand, others large as buildings. All are the product of man's imagination and know-how. All must be run by men, we hope, for the benefit of mankind. War brought forth machines which can destroy civilization. Peace can create machines that can make the world a better, happier place for all peoples. This can become true, if education, which means schools like our own Leyden, can train young men and women to become the masters and not the slaves of the machine. It is important in youth that we learn how to run the machine - how to make a living. It is more important that we learn how to live in a modern world when the machine can be used to destroy as well as to build. Hi ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MR. WADE STEEL If you are ever called down to the office for a chat with Mr, Steel, you can rest assured that he will give you a square deal. Friendship and'sincerity of actions are what make our trouble shooter a right guy. He doesn't have a high opinion of people who are tardy. This includes teachers, pupils, or even his own wife. He enjoys hunting and trout-fishing. His main ambition is to own a cattle ranch, name your own location as he isn't fussy; as he so ably puts it, A big ranch, about 10,000 acres. When asked how he would spend a million dollars if it suddenly came upon him, he said that he would first travel around the world, then settle down and buy a ranch. How well are Leyden students prepared for a machine age? Mr. Steel's answer to this reflects the character and philosophy of a man endeared to Leyden. At Leyden, we are attempting to educate for life or living, Subject matter is not so important as being able to meet a situation as it arises. Leyden students have the ability to make a better world and should do so. With these closing words, we left the office of W. A. Steel, Assistant principal, Leyden Community High School. 15 MISS ALICE JONES, DEAN OF GIRLS We introduce Miss Alice Jones, Dean of Girls and founder of the Leyden Girls' League. Miss Jones is working like a Trojan to organize her girls, striving to get all of them into some school activity. Her sincerity, quick-wittedness and friendly way have aided Leyden and given us a helping hand to spur us on to achievement. MR. HENRY KENNEDY, DEAN OF BOYS This year, with the aid of Mr. Kennedy, our Student Council is accomplishing much in its task of making ours a better school. With his friendly smile, zest for accomplishment, and drive for better living, we should like to remember him as one human being on whom we can depend and regard as our buddy as well as our counselor. 16 Uiss just as the straw boss is essential to the manufacturing of the raw material into the finished product, so the teachers at Leyden design, mold, and polish student material into the comparatively finished product, the high school raw graduate Like the straw boss, the teacher must like people, get along with therm, show often enough patience, understanding, and a sense of humor ®ituatiannual this year we have tried to show the teacher in informal, friendly ons� seeking to bring better understanding between student and teacher Mill© 4 m Ui.� ® Walter Reynolds Merman Myers Violet Nelson Irma Califas President V.

BOYS IN THE SERVICE On the conclusion of this Senior section, we wish to add that some familiar personalities are missing. A group of our boys, at various times throughout the high school term, have left Leyden to enter the service. These Leydenites are stationed over the United States and abroad, learning new skill, attending classes, developing lasting ties, as we did here at Leyden. However, they have gained, along with the dignity of their uniforms, an early maturity. Without doubt, they, too, have emerged as finished products.

But after donning a pair of sun glasses and creeping nearer, we see that the light is caused by a gold band encircling a finger on the left hand. These are the preciotfs E awards rated by the polished castings after two and one-half years of hard work. Upon closer examination it is found that under a patch of hair are stored many durable and guaranteed to last a lifetime memories. They come in such forms as the Turnabout, Little Women, the Pageant and Four score-and seven years ago, not to mention working on the Annual, wrestling matches, and the Leydenite deadlines. 56 Wahl; They need the high ceilinged, -wide-walled art room to hold all their co-operativeness and noise.

President Secretary Treasurer Life can be so cruel is the chant of the lonely sophs I Here we've spent one year in high school and we still have the appellation of underclassmen. Is this fair? But remember: There are four necessary stages in the development of a Leyden student, and as rough castings we are just completing the second process. We are the mediators between freshmen and upper classmen. The first year students appreciate our knowledge of school customs, and the elite upperclassmen secretly think of us as one of the gang. Frequent recreational periods, such as the Sophomore party. Carnival, Saturnalia, and Music Festival add needed zest to speed up production toward an exciting junior year. 62 Swanson; Originality is their high-point.

Clashing color combinations, a running gait, and question mark expressions distinquish our freshies. They are the first on the assembly line at Leyden. At the start, like all raw materials, there is no definite shape to be seen, or no inkling of what the finished product will be. But after thorough sandings by upperclassmen during initiation, careful polishings by puzzled teachers, and many applications of parties, football games, and club meetings the beginning of typical Leydenite figures appear. Then, laden with a bundle of jokes, smiles, comic books, potato chips, and plaid shirts, they prepare to continue down the assembly line of education and life. 68 Stickle; Our worries are over, our brothers and sisters are graduating.

The team seemed to have better co-ordination, with the line doing some fine blocking, allowing Selig and Stein to make long runs. Leyden 13 Libertyville 6 Leyden traveled to Libertyville, winning its second conference game and upsetting Libertyville's homecoming. Selig's long runs set up both touchdown plays, with Stein crashing over for one and Qraber chucking to Spera for the other. Leyden 12 Warren Q Bouncing back after their loss to Niles, the Eagles gave an impressive performance before an enthusiastic homecoming crowd. In the second half, Murawska drove off tackle and scampered the remaining 6o yards to score which h igh lighted the victory. Although rain dampened the crowd and field, it has no ef-feet on the teara s performance. Leyden lU Crystal Lake 7 Leyden crushed Crystal Lake li -7 to gain possession of third place in the conference. Stein scored early on a line plunge and later Selig capitalized on Schierhorn's run by going from the one foot line. Leyden 8 Hinsdale 19 The Eagles lost the opening game to Hinsdale, a non-conference foe, by a score of 19-8. The team seemed over anxious, thus causing unnecessary penalities and fumbles. Matusek scored Leyden's only touchdown, while Hermanson accounted for two points via a safety. Leyden 0 Niles 33 The score of this game is misleading because it looks as if Niles walked away with an easy victory. Leyden's ground attack and defense were superior to that of the boys from Skokie, but the same old trouble plagued the Eagles - pas3 defense. Niles had little trouble completing pass after pass to score. Leyden 0 Arlington 38 The Eagles took their worst beating of the year against a powerful Cardinal team. Once again Leyden's pass defense crumbled, allowing Arlington to run up points. 7U CROSS COUNTRY A highly enthusiastic coach and a fine team have good prospects for another excellent season. With the graduation of the captain and mainstay of the squad, Tony Quaranta, the Eagles will lose their most accomplished runner for next season, but will retain the rest of the squad. In a season which covered the team with glory, the Harriers won eight of their ten meets dropping only one to a fine Proviso squad on the latter1s home course, one of the toughest to run in the state. In tying South Milwaukee High, the school at which Coach Mohrhusen taught and coached they proved themselves to be a very potent aggregation. Returning to bolster next year's squad are: dark, Christiansen, Guill, Turner, Bujal-ski, Salce, and Brown, plus other promising material. 76 J. V. BASKETBALL Leyden'3 powerful five, Ott, Graber, Rerucha, Phillips and Schierhom, under the direction of Mr. Lambert, won ten of its twelve conference games, resulting in a tie with Woodstock. Woodstock proved to be Leyden's jinx, accounting for both defeats. The first was a loss by one point in double overtime. Russel Rerucha was high scorer with 118 points, while Chuck Graber and Jim Ott followed with 107 and 99 respectively. WRESTLING Hold onto' your hats and tuck in your toes 1 The wrestling team (to gain wind) is running our indoor race track 1 Flights of stairs are no obstacle, for with a leap and a dive they are on the top corridor. Although the boys were unable to win any of the meets this year. Coach Mackey is well satisfied with the novices who introduced this tough major sport. 77 Quetzloff J.ODEV Coach VISITWW COACH Huffman Matusek Brewer VARSITY BASKETBALL Leyden's Varsity, under the able coaching of Dale St. John, had a fairly successful season. Captain Bill Huffman dropped 180 points through the hoop to take honors as Leyden's high scorer. The team started out the year by losing to Crystal Lake. The Eagles went into action and took two victories over Warren and Woodstock to put them in second place. After the Christmas holidays the Eagles lost four in a row to Arlington, Niles, Libertyville, and Crystal Lake, which put them in fourth place. Leyden then came out of their losing streak to play giant-killer by beating the powerful second place Lake Forest 51 to U8 in one of the most thrill-packed games Leyden fans have ever seen. Two more defeats were added to Leyden's standing when Niles and Arlington proved again to be too tough for our basketeers. The Eagles ended the season in top form by beating Woodstock U5-U0 and Warren, the final game of the year, 6l to 38. Because of graduation, Leyden loses all of its Varsity except Jim Spera. With Jim, and replacements from the JV's next year's team should be one of the top four in the conference. 78 TENNIS On a fresh, cool morning in March, two Leyden netmen were seen scurrying out to the tennis courts to begin Leyden's tennis season for 19U7. In the afternoon of the same day. Coach Mackey greeted his team with enthusiasm and a broken elbow. With the return of only two members of last year's Varsity, Orlick and Rader, the Eagles have to start from scratch once again. Because of the lack of tennis teams in our conference, Leyden has had to play some of the top teams in our area. These include York, Proviso, Maine and Morton. BASEBALL Another stab at the baseball trophy will be made this year by Leyden with the good possibilities for success. Coach Joe Monk's team of last year was no putout, and this year it expects to be able to show its power against competitors in the Northeast Conference. Last year Niles was the victor, but several of its dependable players, including the star pitcher, left the school on the graduation basis, and so will not be a threat this season. Of the five teams in the Conference, Leyden and Arlington tied for second, while Warren and Woodstock finished fourth and fifth. Already, as this is being written, Leyden's boys are venturing out into the practice field, defying the mud and trying to subdue the cold with their heavy clothing. All this is for that first conference game - an encounter with Warren, April 18. The picture represents the whole team. From these players the first stringers were chosen. 81 TRACK Track, at Leyden, as in other schools, is a painstaking subject, but the result of this strife resembles itself as Mr. Physical Fitness in the average boy who participates in these events. And what is Leyden's track team of today? The answer to that question may be found by reviewing last year's standings, the boys who ran and how they finished. Last year, Niles was.the strongest in the Northeast Conference, while the Leyden Eagles matched their power within one-half a point, thus finishing second in the Conference meet, and immediately behind Leyden by only another one-half point was Arlington Heights. But the most exciting affair of this meet was the confidence that Coach Dale St. John had in his next year's team, for the point makers of 'I46 were mostly the lower classmen and thus available in U7 for his team. Most of these boys come into the varsity team of 'U7 with an assuring record of obtaining a high standing, based on their results from the last two years in the Conference meets. During the 'U5 and 'b6 conference meet, Murawska was second each time in the I4.J4O yard dashes, while he and his two team mates, Clark and Simino, in 'L$ and 'L6, ran the 880 yard relay and finished second both times. In conclusion, let us remember that 19U7 has given Leyden a substantial and reliable track team. A team which should, and probably will be, remembered for quite a long time to come. Let us hope that these track members (your classmates) may inspire and influence the future track men of Leyden to do as good of job as they have done, and to strive to learn the value of true sportsmanship in every day life. 82 Are you troubled with fallen arches?. . .weight problems?. . .lack of rhythm?. . .or that dilapidated feeling?. . .If so, what you need is a consultation with Dr. Anthony or a one-hour workout in the girls' gym class. Bad weather is no obstacle for the rugged beauties of Leyden. If it is favorable, they carry the equipment to the sports field where they may choose to bat out a game of baseball, hockey, socker, or tennis. When the girls feel especially energetic, they leap hurdles or high jump. Sweat shirts are doffed when 01' Man Winter blows in, and the weaker sex takes over the gym. In the wrestling room the girls enjoy rhythms with the new phonograph and records. . .while in the gymnasium others play a strenuous game of basketball or volleyball. ORCHESIS Remember the Pan American assembly?. . .the rhythmic Indians? They were dancers of the Orchesis clubl Miss Mieschke's leaps, falls, turns, lunges, and arm movements caused numerous achin' bones. After one hour of practice, the girls had to grope for the chairs and stair railings in order to reach the locker room. (Note results.) BASEBALL Although these lassies aren't wonder women, they really know how to bat a ball. During the spring months G. A. A. sponsored a class tournament which called forth most of the best players, some shown at the left BASKETBALL About thirty basketeers invade the gym every Tuesday eve for a red hot game of basketball. The game begins with a shrill whistle and pinnies in . . .a ball whizzes by and slips through the basket. . .bench warmers glow with excitement. After practice the barbershop quartet takes over and fills the locker-room with the sweet notes of I've got a gal who's big and fat. VOLLEYBALL More than 3 hit that ball. . . hit it with two hands. . .your back is to the netl . . .Now where could you have heard those remarks before? Why, in volleyball practice, of coursel Miss Vye had a problem on her hands when she took over teaching it, not to mention her use of first aid on broken finger nails. The year's feature for these versatile gals is the interscholastic tennis tournaments, the first to be held in the history of Leyden. Only sleet and storm could keep them from the tennis courts. 86 . THE ANNUAL Who took those pictures? They were here only a minute agol Now where did that dummy go? Come on now, I need itl Probably these questions will stand clearly in memory to those who have put so much work on our school annual. After school, when all students have left for home, many members of the annual staff may be found working feverishly to make the deadline or struggling over pictures that have to be placed. But oh the joy when all work is done and the annual arrives from the printer 1 To the staff and the sponsors, Mrs, Formolo and Miss Wahl,we owe much for their contribution to our high school memories, the 19U7 Annual, Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Literary Editor Art Editor Nancy Jaeger Pat Trumbull Bill Rader Elsie Dillinger Business Manager Bob Phillips 88 LEM When the final story has been edited and typed, the head composed, Leyden's newspapermen relax and take a short breath. Since our competent staff is on the alert, there is always much to be done. Posting assignments tracking down information, dreaming of a scoop, cutting and editing stories are only a few of the many duties. Our Leydenite does much for our school by reporting current doings of clubs and classes, giving the students a chance to voice their opinions, and offering guidance. We take off our hats to our fine staff and Miss Anderson. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY One of the most coveted of all Leyden's clubs is the National Honor Society. It is composed of those junior and senior students who are upstanding in character, who devote their time and ability to service for our school, and who are high scholastically. STUDENT COUNCIL Every student in Leyden Community High School is represented in the Student Council by his elected representatives from homeroom. The members of this democratic body continually strive toward the bettering of our school. 90 CHAIRMEN OF STANDING COMMITTEES Anita Nepute, Elaine Hanna, Betty Forth, Phyllis Burns, Pat Bujalski, LEYDEN GIRLS' LEAGUE Purpose ... to give and spread opportunity to every girl in school ... to provide experience to girls and boys in working and having fun together ... to encourage friendly spirit among the students and faculty ... to stress school as a friendly place with opportunities for all. From the very beginning of this organization, of which every girl in school is a member, the girls began to get in the swing. Sad sacks suddenly changed into energetic, friendly Leydenites. After a planning meeting the courtesy, activity, publicity, program and social committees went to work. They worked hard, and with the help of our able Dean of Girls, Miss Jones, gave a most delightful Faculty Tea, and a well-planned all-girl assembly. After the assembly, the faculty was seen munching highly-polished apples, given them by the league for obvious reasons. Christmas greetings were also sent to the faculty. Teas, social parties, banquets, talent shows and more all-girl assemblies are yet in the making. But with our growing determination, our L. G. L. can continue to be, as it was this year, a success year after year. 91 S. P. Q. R. Senatus Populus Que Romanos is a symbol of the grandeur that once was Rome. Its officers are Consul, Praetor, Questor, Censor and Aedile. All members who attend the Roman banquet . . . the highlight of the year . . . wear long, flowing Roman togas. The first year students who wish to join the S.P.Q.R. are their slaves. One of the banquet's many features is the Roman entertainment. Sacrifices are offered to the gods, as in ancient Rome. L Club Officers President: T. Quaranta V. President: C. Barnes Secretary: J. Trigilas L ' CLUB Though meeting only three times a year officially, the L Club accomplishes much toward strengthening the honor and code of the athletic field. A new constitution was drawn up which includes an attempt to stiffen letter requirement and a provision for giving each new member a pin. At the traditional Father and Son banquet this year, Glenn Harmeson, coach of football at Wabash College, was the guest speaker. 92 Christian character is a symbol of the Tri-Hi-Y. Its main purpose is service to the school and the community. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are eligible for membership. Distributing Thanksgiving Day and Christmas baskets is one of their important services to the community. Miss M. Murphy is the faculty advisor. The offi -cers: Eleanor Ratzka, Presidentj Inez Palkey, Vice-President} Jane Schroeder, Secretary} Barbara Fopp, Treasurer. The chaplain is Phyllis Boergerhoff. Helping the school and the community through the creation of Christian character is the main purpose of the Hi-Y. Meetings are held every two weeks. All sophomores, juniors, and seniors are invited to join. After the business meeting is over, the members take part in basketball, gym swims, and other forms of recreation. Hi-Y members are known for their willingness to work for a good purpose, and for their participation in social activities. The officers for this year were: Bob Schaak, President} A1 Parizek, Vice President} George Greenawalt, Secretary-} and James Dunn, Treasurer. The faculty sponsor is Mr. Mohrhusen. ? 7 PAN AMERICAN Hola i When gay, enchanting Spanish melodies come floating down the hall, you will know that the Pan American club is in session. Singing Spanish songs, and dancing the tango, rhumba, conga, and samba, are some of their specialties. The Pan American assembly is one of the club's greatest accomplishments of the entire year. Senorita Miller, the sponsor, and the members of the club spend much time in preparation of the program. Colorful Spanish costumes, a beautiful Aztec scene, a parade with the goddess, a representation of six Latin and South American countries and many Spanish songs and dances are features of the assembly. G. A. A. Two of the qualities acquired by the members of the G. A. A. are leadership and good sportsmanship. This is brought about by the encouragement of fair play. The officers elected for this year were: Rose Meyer, President; Barbara Springer, Vice President; La Verne Fialka, Secretary; Phyllis Boergerhoff, Treasurer. 9h EAGLE5 NEST Since the opening date in 19W4, Leyden's Eagles Nest has been a must with it's members. Besides the fun and the parties, we will always remember the hard work in selling magazines and keeping the Nest clean, the juke box repaired, and Mrs. Little's smiling face. In the past, student boards have done much for the upkeep of the Center. This year, however, the board and Mr. Mohrhusen have contributed substantially to its success.

Carl Cotsakis was voted as Captain for this year. Mr. Sigurd Swanson is the director. FIRST LIEUTENANT 98 MU -1 ClML Mr. Swanson must nstart from scratch with this group of potential hand members. Most of them are underclassmen who start out with little musical ability and work up to be some of Leyden's best. ORCHESTRA This group may be small, but it is interesting and active. Under the direction of Mr. Swanson, the group supplied between acts music for both the Senior and Junior plays. 9? The advanced chorus, smoothed and well-trained under the direction of Mrs. Anderson, presented the Operetta, Pickles. Its support was also harmonious and vital at the Christmas Pageant and Spring Concert. Mrs. Anderson's coaching has tended to develop the vocal range, volume, and flexibility for which these students strive. fflECOflINC Homecoming - a tradition that holds the whirling events of school life. fast amid Thursday night, and the snake dance. . .Rose Street becomes awavering limb of plaid shirted and blue-jeaned Leydenites. . .The pep band, ringing forth school spirit. . .heat of the glowing bonfire. . .a merry crowd reluctantly making for home. . .dreams of tomorrow with great anticipation. . .
