Leyden is indeed a democratic school and our Student Council is a living part of that democracy. It tackles many school problems such as seating our students during basket- ball games, and it also helps raise money for certain funds such as the March of Dimes, the Heart Drive, Red Cross, and various other organizations. Every room has its own representative in the Student Council and takes part in its activities, -472121101 NI've been working on the Annual, all the live long year, HI've been working on the Annual, just to pass the time away...U'. - This might well be the theme song of Leyden's l95O yearbook, although plans were in the making as far back as last May when the editors of the Annual were elected- Carol Ruby as editor, Chris Stellmach as her capable assistant, co-art editors Carol Kennedy and Joe Nittig Jerry Bray undertaking the job of photography editor, and Mark Prentice, with the help of Art Weiss, business manager. In August there were several meetings pertainingtb the question of the theme and the possibilities of ob- taining a hard cover. Then came September--the theme had to be definitely decided C25th Anniversaryl, dedication CMr. Moserj, and division heads and staff. Through the unceasing efforts of editor Ruth Anderson, with Jacquie Kuczon, Ida Lu Baker, Eileen Cwiklinski, and Joan Panek, the senior section met all their dead- lines and was the first section to go to press. The next section to be taken to the printers was homerooms, but editor Elaine Mower had her troubles. A few wrinkles were added to the then carefree foreheads of her and her assistants, Joyce Mootz, Norma Barnes, and Ramona Vandermier when some important pictures were lost, but all was well again after retakes were made, and their sections whizzed to completion. Elaine Snyder accepted the responsibility of the ever-bothersome faculty and admin- istration, and, with the help of,Gloria Bissell, Joyce Kahn, and Kay Cameron, suc- ceeded in coming through with a wonderfully well-done section. Bob Trumbull and Ronald Reder struggled with boys' sports, while their better halves, Delores Swanson and Elaine Harris, tackled the girls' athletics. Activities, always a problem, con- sisted of one experienced staff member, Donna'Ormerod, editor, and Shirley Fenhaus. Editor Wynne Hastings, Gerry Burke, and Jim Wade combined their efforts to produce one of the best music divisions Leyden has ever seen. Mary Ann Ruzecki and Pat Bakken gave their talent, time, and hard work to the club section, while Beverly Christian and Marlene Arbogast, after two elections, finally were able to give us our Senior Smoothies. Aith0U8h the SPOHSOFS, teachers, and other students outside of the regular staff who helped with much of the work are more than content to remain in the background their help is greatly appreciated. The Annual couldn't have gotten along very weli without the supervision of Mrs. A. Formolo, our literary advisor, and Mr. Earl Kung art advisor, Miss McLeod, photography, and we wouldn't have an Annual at all were it not for Miss H. Miller and her typists Eileen Cwiklinski and Alice Stayton. Artists Doris Kennedy and B. J. Cochran are two more of the energetic staff members who looked past their sticky fingers and pools of glue toward one of the high spots of the life of the 1950 yearbook-the Annual picnic. This affair tops off an entire year of hard work, worry, laughs, and much satisfaction for a job well done that go together to give you Leyden's 1950 HEag1e,N -2l 756.9 1171 Q! l: J Perf L.

Hermanson with a squad of nine juniors and two seniors in thestarting line-up, Leyden Varsity squad managed to service two victories with seven losses for the l9h9 season. Although little could be expected from a Varsity team that played some of the strongest high school football teams in Illinois, Leyden did show signs of a promising game now and then during the 'h9 season. One decided disadvantage against Leyden was the lack of experienced linemen. During the later part of the season, the first string Varsity had the aid of only one veteran senior ind junior player. Jan Smid, junior lineman, was awarded with an All-Star rating on thechicago Daily News All-Non-Conference football team and honorable mention aithechicago Herald American All-Non-Conference squad. No other members of the 19h9 team were awarded by the Herald American, except Larry Wiltzius who was on the second team. Rich Spera, senior quarterback, received a third team rating, and Maynard Slicker, half-back, honorable mention. Lack of a hard charging fullback was one of Coach Bujan's problems during the beginning of the year. A switch before the Champaign game saw Chuck Quaranta in the fullback position with Stan Hansen 5 playing center. This was the offensive lineup, but in the defense Quaranta would play in the line with Hansen as a line backer. Throughout the season, the Eagles were hampered at the ends. Coach Bujan was unable to find a pair of ends fast enough to travel down field under the pass,or tall enough to catch a reas- onable amount of passes. Sam Mascia started as halfback, was 38 switched to end, and when Spera disloca- Wrfz?

Lineman Hansen, Smid, Wiltzius, Pizzirulli, Lange, Dowling, and Patraszewski played very good ball all season, many of them remaining in games as long as fifty-five or six- ty minutes on several occasions. Rich Spera, Leyden's triple threat star, was playing his best football year at Leyden. His punting became a principal factor in Leyden's offense. In ob- taining those Opponents deep spectacular, it was fairly good. Many times when there were no receiver's in the open, Spera would run with the pigskin, picking up a few yards. The fake punt, used quite often during each game, added largely to the amount of yards gained by Spera. extra five or ten yards on punts, Leyden was able to keep the in their own territory.

The 19h9 Cross Country team compiled this excellent record against some of the best teams in the area. This year's team will lose, through graduation, two very fine runners, Art Wiese and Dick Lotter. Leyden's harriers had two perfect scores for UE season against Austin and Palatine. They also had a near perfect score against Niles and Pal- atine. Other high lights of the season was the unexpected win over South Milwaukee and the excellent spirit of the entire team. Most of this year's honors go to the soph's Wwhiz KidSW trio consisting of 'Ike' Isenhart, Al Drennan, and John Ruzecki. In the State District meet held at Proviso Leyden placed fourth. Fin- ishing the season, Leyden defeated Niles for the second time. In routing Niles, 'Ike' Isenhart beat out Ed Buerk, their first man, conference miler, who ranked fifth in the State District.

A familiar sound throughout the gym on the many cold and rainy days is 'Oh no, not 8X8PC1S8S n But rain and cold weather can bring a lot of sore arms and legs which 1sn't caused by the damp or cold air, but by the numerous pushups, burpies, straddle hops, tip-ups and numerous others The girls complain and complain about the many aches and pains they have, but 1t'S all in the days fun and the girls love every minute of it , e - ,4' '- MISS ALLEN The stronger sex dfLeyden fthe girls ...who else?j are lucky to have such an energetic and vivacious physical educa- tion teacher. Amicable Allen, who hol- lers with her eyes more that her mouth, keeps the girls in stitches with her v f antics during the gym classes. Acting as coach of Leyden's girls' tennis team, she not only tells the x girls what to do but she has theability to back up her directions. Leyden is very proud to possess such a wonderful and hard-working gym instructor as Miss Beverlee Allen. sz. H 'M' 6 40, Q' G2 Y?

The showers are used and re-used and still re-used es- Hg ,. pecially in very warm weather when the girls want to reach class 2' feeling fresh and neat. The girls agree the daily session in the locker room is fun and full of talcium powder, singing,water and gossip. H l ' D , 4 I Q 1 L 1, . MISS ABBOTT I There are not many people who will try anything for a laugh,but Miss Abbott stands in the ranks as one of them. When she came here two years ago from the University of Illinois, Miss Abbott immediately took over the Orche- sis and cheerleading groups. Now with her contagious good humor she has in- stilled in the students much more en- thusiasm and tea spirit than our school has ever before known. 27 K fy ai ,g ,R SPEEDBALL !r Speedball, a combina- tion of basketball hockey 3 9 and soccor, is one of the fastest, most furious games the girls at Leyden play. In spite of the an- tagonism aroused during the game, the girls devel- op a sense of fair play and a bond of friendship with each other that stretch our from the field to include all the other activities at Leyden. 56 ' QMV W 1 f g X x l',-v v ' I .

On November ll mo of our Leyden couples spent on enchanted evening at the l9 Turnabout. Under the gaily decorated ceiling and USouth P cificn atnnsphere, we danced to the dreamy music of D Clark's orchestra. Highlighting the evening were the roy couple, Queen Norma Barnes and King Edward Arrand leadi the Grand March. Once again Pat Bakken's originality corsage making won for her escort Ed Almond a box of can which was awarded by Mistress of ceremonies, Marjorie V ' 5262-Zwlzhs , 0 On October 29, the hilarity of the many Daisy Maas and Li'l Abners exploded the Leyden gym, making the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance a success- ful one. The main event of the evening was the Dog Patch Chase. Upon entering, the fellows were pursued by the man-hunting women. After he has been cautiously tackled, he must submit! with much pride the desperately soughtmen were dragged over the dance floor by thiir contented women. John Ruzecki and Shirley McClelland were chosen as the typical Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner. ll f The Pageant has become one of 1,eyden's most im- pressive iraijtiens .Through the years, the students of our school have heral- ded the Christmas season with the bustle and scur- rying that goes into pro- ducing full-scale drama- tic production. This year the Pageant was one of the most beau- tiful ever performed. The sweet ard majestic strains :fthe organ and the A Cap- pella Choir combined with the soft Nativity scene, and effective li ghting created the perfect Christ,- mas mood. As the familiar old story of Chr1st's birth unfolded before our eyes, there was for those few moments a true spirit of Christmas in every heart. yv-f 4 . ICQ B S . if ' fa ' rg.-5. ,Q K? .
