Through- out its s t ' ' even y years, Evanston Township High School has de- veloped ties with the community which extend to almost every phase of activity. Some of them have become such an accepted part of high school life that few people realize the planning and care which went into their accomplishment. Associations with commerce, government, communications outlets, and industry are often never recognized by an ETHS student, though he benefits through them every day. This year, we of the Key staff have tried to point out the close relationship between the city and the school which qualifies Evanst on graduates for their roles as citizens in the community. We present this theme through the dynamic design, pio- neered by The Key of I952. Newness is our watchword, as we show new affiliations by picturing them in new layouts. Because of such affiliations, we leave our school with the assurance that the community will accept us with confidence. Closing our career at ETHS, we, the class of l953, leave behind us The Key so that others may open the doors to learning through which h we ave passed. BOB I-IIATT ,,,.....

Long renowned as an educational center, Evanston has developed a public school system second to none, a fitting complement to the insti- tutions of higher learning locatedwithin the com- munity. Such a system may be directly attributed to the high level of interesttshown by the citizens in the education of their children. Civic groups, commerce, and government all contribute to the smooth operation of the township's school district. Without the interest of the adult population, the educational organization would be doomed to mediocrity. Recognizing our indebtedness to the com- munity, we of the Class of i953 pause to pay tribute to the city which is our home. Soon, we too will take our places as citizens of Evanston. Until then, we dedicate our book to the City of Evanston as a token of our gratitude. , THE STAFF -if-:L-To A W. -- fri' V-4 ---fe----f .M 'S ff As Others See Us 1-clam 5 P l Q 5 6 . ,I H, ,.

Guidance Serv- ice had the answers to many similar student questions. The Placement Service was a non-profit employment agency, 'ffor students only. The tests they gave revealed everything from ap- titude to attitude. Guidance service was in charge of the coun- selor-counselee system employed in every homeroom to help students plan the right curriculum for an optimistic future.

Main Office: Faculty File Case As the City Hall set the policies of Evans- ton, so the Main Office steered the activities of ETHS. Serving as administrative head- quarters, the room under the big clock was the nerve center of the school. Here, too, records of all students and teachers, past and present, were kept on file Such data could be produced on a moment's notice. Miss Bell and Mrs. Pilger, custodians ot files and switchboard, respectively, helped di- rect this busy program. '--nr Upper Left: Mr. Howell waits for a message from Mrs. Pilger.

This s, sti gave freshmen in the heights of the balcony a thrill at being a part of so vast an audience. Assembly moods varied: there were the gaiety of Lagniappe, the seriousness of Central Coun- cil elections, the interest of the four PTA- sponsored speakers the tense e ' , xcltement of the awards assembly. routine, so familiar to senior 'll But common to all such meetings was the pleasure ot having the entire student body gathered in one room and for a single purpose.

Central Council: Democracy in Action Wider participation, new committees, and a revised constitution marked a year of prog- ress for ETl-lS's up-and-coming student govern- ment. Enlisting more of the student body in the various committees was one of the main goals of the council, under the leadership of Bob Slaughter, The Religion Committee, a recent innova- tion, tried to promote a greater understanding and awareness of religious problems confront ing high school youth. Continuing leadership of school activities, the council welcomed suggestions, change, and student interest.

By inviting professional men and women to speak during their homeroom programs, the students gained as much occu- pation know-how as many of the upper-classmen. A college representative aided both boys and girls in forming their vague ideas of college into ground work for later decisions. Another distinguishing mark of 364 was its counseling system. Students were divided between Mr. Rasmussen and Miss Larson, each ot whom ad- vised about lOO pupils. Upper: 364 Council-First row, left Io right: Bob Sieben, Mr. Rasmussen, Don Frey.

' 2: -4' Spring Trips: April Adventures About 35 newly-acquired deep Southern accents were noticed after April lO, when the spring vacation trips were over. Mr. Cameron and Mr. Melvin, sponsors of the New Orleans and Washington trips, enjoyed a week of luxury along with the enthusiastic students. Fascinating tours, plush din- ners, hotels and Steamers, and many good times typified the s p r i n g journeys. Travelers viewed everything from Negro spiritual singing in New Or- leans to the Smithsonian ln- stitute in Washington. After six lively days on their own the excursionists re- turned no worse for wayfaring and eager to tell anyone who would listen about their senti- mental journey.

Budget Ticket: Fun For Your Money 'Come onel Come alll This way for the 'Greatest Value on Earthl' lt's stu- pendous-the Budget Ticketl' That was the theme of the l952 Budget Ticket campaign. This bargain offered the students a circus of events. Adding to the main attractions of pre- vious seasons, the Budget Ticket had some new features: admission to the homecoming rally, and to wrestling and swimming meets, plus an adult budget ticket for the young in heart. This versa- tile performer also helped out with club dues, publications, and discounts on ad- mission to dramatic productions. Under the direction of the ringmaster, Mr. Melvin, and managers Nana Stroh- meier and Pat Jewell, the campaign ex- ploded into an all-time high of 93.2 per cent. But while the performers of this circus lasted only a few thrill-packed weeks, students who attended the show enjoyed the benefits of the Greatest Value on Earth all year long.

For ten days ETHS students tramped streets and rang doorbells to bring in over 570,000 and make ETHS public school magazine sales champ. Over 56,000 in prizes was distributed to student salesmen. Remaining profits went to school organizations and activities. Upper: Mr. Melvin takes a trial spin on a favorite magazine prize.

History and Social Studies: Background Reading Just as Magellan reached the East by sail- ing West, so history students learned about the future by studying the past. They con- sidered trends in American, world, and modern history and learned the problems of democ- racy. With an object of such scope, students nevertheless found time to participate in ac- tivities--the Hearst American History Contest and the Evanston School of World Affairs. Good citizenship and patriotism based on understanding of the world situation was the goal of the social studies course. Through reading, writing, discussion, and other class activities, freshmen learned the elements of problems facing America, and prepared them- selves to take part effectively in community life.

Boys' Gym and Health Education All right, gang, count off by sixes. These were familiar words to patrons of the boys' physical educa- tion department. Through the early fall days, boys enjoyed such outdoor sports as soccer and touch football. When the cold forced them inside, the classes moved to the nine modern gyms.

Cafeteria: Choose Your Chews A high school, like an army, moves on its stomach, that's why the cafeteria was, as al- ways, such an important part of ETHS. Stu- dents are usually too engrossed in their lunches, however, to appreciate the cafeteria and the 39-member staff that runs it. Cafeteria cooks put in a full day making about 50 one-crust pies or 80 fruit pies along with the rest of the day's menu, Upper Right: Typical Friday lunch period.

Cafeteria Cooks: Kitchen Queens The road to satiation is paved with sand- wiches, apparently, 30 loaves of bread-420 sandwiches worth-vanished each noon. Fav- orite pupil fare, however, was hot dogs, which recently nosed out hamburgers as number one order at ETHS. Preparing delectable dishes and serving food lines was the appetizing job of the food man- agement class which met once o week for two periods in the cafeteria under the direc- tion of Miss Davis, head dietitian. After school, the cafeteria became an ex- cellent spot for parties and other social gather- ings. The cafeteria' served as many as l5O parties during the year. Upper Left: Miss Davis stirs the soup.

Besides lunch hour movies, the third-floor auditorium witnessed such events as dramatic produc- tions, lectures, and quiet study- ing. lts walls have echoed numerous lines of tragedy, humor, conversation, and just plain fun. More on the informal side was the student lounge, mecca for upperclassmen seeking re- I a x at i o n and recreation. Radios, a television set, cokes, and sleek modern furniture contributed to the friendly at- mosphere. The lounge also en- tertained discussion groups, club meetings, parties, and overflow crowds at dances. Upper Left, from left to right: Herb Friedman, Mike Libman, and Mary Sue White.

Anybody have an extra pencil? . . . Dont stand there giggling, wipe it up! Such exclamations were common in the technical-arts wing as the art department launched one ofthe busiest years in its history. Under the direction of Mr. Price, the de- partment presented new opportunities for the students. This year the department went all out to make the school really radiate the spirit of Christmas by designing the decorations for the gym and halls. A course in city planning was studied by the first-year art classes, a new project for the fourth-year students was the problem of stage design for the drama department. Meanwhile, Price's Picassos of the third-year did the drawings for school publications and posters for the band concert, spring festival, drama events, and youth conference. 5l xii l Business Take a Letter Business is booming was a phrase especially true at ETHS, as the thriving business department prepared students for positions in the community. Although instruction in short- hand, typing and bookkeep- ing jammed their schedule, business teachers found time to take active interest in Fu- ture Business Leaders of Amer- ica and the Career Conference. Among the most popular courses were office practice, which provided personal secre- taries for the home room di- rectors, and personal typing, an essential aid for upperclass- men swamped with term pa- pers.

Although not many students would phrase it that way, edu- cators might use such a de- scription for Evanston's newly- formed distributive education program. A few hours in the conven- tional classroom-then off to on-the-job salesmanship, work- er-students found their sched- ules surprisingly full. By practical experience and timely advice, they were trained to become tomorrow's managers, buyers, and sales- men.

Orchestra: Music Maestros Even library bookworrns pricked up their ears and paid attention to orchestra practice sessions during seventh period. Under the direction of Mr. Rohner, the practices also drew many interested visitors. The fine results of these sessions were immediately apparent at the Christmas and Spring Festivals, the annual concert, and assemblies. ln addi- tion, a selected group provided the music for Let's Hove Fun l Band: Music On The March Tired feet, the clang of cymbals, and much fun characterized the band. Under the nimble baton of Mr. English, the band marched a good thirty miles at all the home football and basketball games. The Christmas Festival, the band concert, and the Spring Festival also crowded their agenda. The Musicians' Club met one Friday of each month, with a series of student talent programs. . . '53 Audio Visual and ti Photography: Camera C liques Recognizing that photog- raphy is a leading hobby, a tool for industry, and an aid to the professions, many students participated in the classes and extra-curricular activities spon- sored by the Photo Depart- ment. Under the direction of Mr. Cochrane, members of the Photo Service Club a I so handled picture assignments for the school. Taking the drudgery out of learning was accomplished by that modern marvel, the mo- tion picture. Competent, well- trained projectionists from the audio-visual committee op- erated the school's equipment. Public address systems and slide projectors were also under their management.

Aviation and Driver Training: Wings and Wheels A brand new course at ETHS was aviation, open to both girls and boys. Although instruction was carried on largely by means of the visual aids, the mechanical end was not neg- lected. Dissecting an air- plane engine was a high point of the course. Two dual-controlled l952 Fords sped about the neighbor- hood as driver training classes prepared for their examina- tions.

As Mr, Price's apt quotation shows, The '53 Key staff achieved the dubious distinction of never quite meeting a deadline. Still, the yearbook finally went to press, the product of many hours of work put in by as varied a group of students as ever scheduled a picture. Permanent advisors, sen- ior editors, junior staffers, and innocent by- standers were called upon to paste photos, write copy, and guzzle ginger ale at the fre- quent snack parties. Still, Key editors found time to take a lead- ing role in the Northwestern Press Guild, and fulfill The Key's obligations as Second Vice- President of the Illinois State High School Press Association.

After extending the areo's longest winning streak to nineteen games, the Evanston squad lost the season finale and the championship to a powerful New Trier team. ln the season opener, junior quarterback, Jim Van Pelt behaved like a veteran as ETHS dumped Bloom of Chicago Heights, l4-6. A heavy Morton team was the first league foe to get a good look at speedy fullback Coat-da Gibbs. The Evanston ace crossed into pay dirt twice while the Wildkits ran over the Cicero team, 32-7. Halfback Warren Dunn, starred against Highland Park on the next Saturday. He scored twice as the Varsity romped to a 28-14 conquest. Proviso supplied win number sixteen in the victory chain. Despite heavy penalties, Van Pelt, Dunn, and Gibbs all averaged better than nine yards per carry. Gibbs paced the team with three TD's, and the Wildkits finished on the long end of a 34-13 score. Heavy and experienced Oak Park established themselves as a firm obstacle in Evanston's road to a championship repeat. The Huskies tied, the score at 7-7 in the third quarter, but fell before a last period drive as Evanston's Orange and Blue took a 2l-7 decision. Lower: Varsity football team.

Dunn's last quarter TD gave ETHS the game 20-14, but victory was marred by elbow dis- location of Gibbs, league scoring leader. Niles fell 34-O, as Bishop Jones replaced Gibbs. Every member of the starting backfield scared once, and End Dave Norris took an end-zone pass for the fifth touchdown. Undefeated Evanston met undefeated New Trier before a crowd of l0,000 in Winnetka. Overcoming a l4-O deficit to tie the score l4-all at the half, the 'Kits faltered before superior New Trier reserve strength combined with heavy penalties. The Green Wave rolled to touchdowns in each of the final periods, and ETHS was in the loser's role for the first time in 20 games. Final score: 27-14.

The final record verified his statement. Although the year was somewhat dismal, the team wasn't without its bright moments. There was the first game and the first league victory of the season against Niles 49-43, the record breaking 92 pts. scored against Rochelle in the De Kalb Tourney, the sportsman- ship trophy in that same tourney, and the upset win over Morton, 43- 38, in the second game of the sea- son.

Swimming: State Champs State and Suburban League Champions! The pool-less wonders repeated in the conference top spot extending their dual meet record to thirty-seven consecutive victories. High spot of the season came when New Trier's tankmen were walloped in Winnetka. lt was the first defeat for our neigh- bors to the north in their home pool since its construction, sev- enteen years ago. Traveling to New Trier again for the league meet, the 'Kits turned back every team in the conference, setting records in the process. Gaining revenge for N ew Trier's upset victory in the state meet last year, Evanston's swim- mers went to the state contest with blood in their eyes and re- turned with a trophy for the showcase as ETHS won its first lllinois High School Association swimming championship.

Under the ex- pert direction of Heinie Schultz, the team started last season by roundly trouncing Austin, one of the Public League's outstanding teams. Spearheading the team's attack were Warren Dunn in the hurdles and sprints, Dave Norris in the shot put, Scottie Gunn in the pole vault, and Tom Soper in the high jump and relays. The cross-country squad, also coached by Mr. Schultz, won all its dual meets, took the Suburban t 1 Howard Brinton, and John Hill. League championship, and fin- ished third in the state meet.

As the Key went to press, the team was trying for its third title in four years in a nip and tuck race against Oak Park and New Trier. Evanston's trackmen were particularly strong in the 50-yd. dash, the low and high hurdles, the mile run, the shotput, and the mile relay. Z 'N i Golf and Tennis Swing Shift Defending a streak of 35 straight dual-meet wins which started way back in 1950, the Varsity tennis team tried for its third straight unbeaten season and Suburban League championship. The golf team, coached by Mr. Burton, was looking tor better days ahead. The team should be better, Mr. Burton remarked, because of the added experience.

Baseball - Rifle Team: Bats and Bullets Reorganization was the keynote for both the baseball and rifle teams, as new coaches took the helms. Steering the marksmen into an extended winning streak, Coach Gassen led his top quintet into contention for the state crown. Building for the future, Coach Blaze hoped to raise the varsity baseball squad from their cellar standing of last year. Pitching was ex- pected to be the team's biggest problem, but drive and spirit were top-notch as the team warmed up for the season opener.

Taking an active interest in their children is a matter of pride with Evanston parents. The PTA, boasting over one thousand members and recognition from the National PTA associa- tion, provided funds for such activities as as- sembly speakers and student aid. Dad's Club, sponsoring football movies throughout the fall, built up interest in school athletics through sale of an adult budget ticket, if xt, - H - -Q-Q-M' wwf- -- r' PM wsu: X College Day, Future Plans, and Youth Conference College Day at New Trier-something f new in inter-school relationsl Represen a- tives from all over the country were there, ' ' ' th i col ready to give information about e r - I s in a five-hour program arranged 996 1 jointly by the Future Plans Committee and New Trier.

Career Planning: Ace Of Trades Pick a career-any career. Chances are you would have found it represented at the Career Conference, a meeting similar to College Day, where leaders in many fields explained their work. Going one step farther, fresh- m e n a n d sophomores joined career meetings which visited ac- tual places of business and ironed out the kinks in on underclass- man's future plans. The ultimate in career work was Junior Achievement, the 4-H Club of the city. Participants formed their own corporations, made products, and sold them, to demonstrate their skill.

As You Like It A wrestling match, a mel- ancholy shepherd, and a court jester added excitement, a little sadness, and a lot of humor to the drama department's pres- entation of Shakespeare's As You Like It. Authentic 'l6th century costumes and artistic settings combined to transform social hall into the Forest of Arden. Four sets of lovers cavorted through the forest confusing the simple English shepherds who lived there. Rosalind and Orlando, Celia and Oliver, Wil- Iiam and Audrey, and Phoebe and Silvius were finally mar- ried in a quadruple ceremony. And as the duke put it, there were tongues in trees, books in running brooks, ser- mons in stones, and good in everything.
