B ' M VIRG Foreword W MW W JY? gf ijlffd Jo When We began the plans for our l945 Ripper. many themes came to our minds. It seemed the time for a Friendship theme. Friendship is a golden tie that brings and keeps true friends together. Without it, the real joys of high school days could not exist. lt plays an important part in helping us to reach that goal We have been striving for: for without co- operation there would be no success, and with- out friendliness, no cooperation. The purpose of this book is to remind you of those friendships so securely bound by the years in school. We choose positions and vocations far across the country: but as we turn these pages of the 1945 year book, We will relive those happy days of our high school years. We have selected the bright green of spring for our cover, suggesting new fields to be con- quered, new life to live, new experiences to en- counter. The picture on the cover seemed appro- yriate at this time, when new flags are being Y de and our own flag is still safely flying I A my wherever our American boys go. . ji . , 1- , jj! ,pf ly-92 It is the sincere wish of the staff of 1945 that y W the Ripper, with its theme of friendship, brings l ' ,on X' you many hours of pleasure and happiness. f , gf? ai' 1 -M Contents Book One ........ ...........

Wordsworth said this of a field of waving golden daffodils, treasured in his memory till the scene became wealth to him. Many of our graduates speak thus of their happy school days. In spite of temporary failures and disappointments that may come during your school life-since they are a part of all life -the hours of happy learning thc glory of achievement, the warmth of friendship, these are the memories that linger, these are the experiences that are Wealth to the soul. But life is more than memories, and no Wealth is worthwhile unless it is shared. The greater your opportunity, the greater is your responsibility. ls your life richer because of your school days? Are you broader minded, have you a finer spirit of brotherhood, have you learned self-discipline, have you more charity, more courtesy, more courage to speak out fearlessly for right causes? My hope for you is that you will look back to your school days as only the beginning of a life that will mean Wealth to the World. Miss Dysart at her desk l 1 I 1 l I l l 1 l LULU M.

We are conscious of a friendly feeling, at once. Miss DeGaetano greets us with a cheerful Goood morning , and we tell her we would like to visit the school. While waiting for a visitor's pass, we Watch Miss Hogan teaching a senior girl to operate the switchboard. Miss Lieven comes in with a friendly greeting, and we remember the days spent in the office, work- ing with Miss Lieven, and learning how to roll money. The office is an attractive room, with a large counter down the center. Girls, with excuses for yesterdays absence, are lined up, waiting to be given a pass to go on to their classes. We won- der what some of those excuses are. Mrs. Dwyer disposes of them rapidly, with a detention slip given out occasionally. The big clock next to the switchboard warns us that classes have started and if we wish to visit the school we must hurry on. Miss Lieven Auditor fhQ 'f no Miss Hogan T . . ,f A if Clerk 1' li x.

CLCDTHING Let us visit the Clothing Department and see the work being done in the class rooms. ln Miss Messerschmidfs and Miss Beverung's rooms on third floor, we find girls cutting out aprons and making chi1dren's dresses. The aprons will be used later when the girls go into homemaking classes. We go along the third floor corridor to Miss Mackenzie's room to visit a class in needlework. In the next room, Mrs. Stanhope is working out a pattern for a senior girl who is ready to make her graduation dress. We move on down thc stairs, to second floor and visit Miss Wisrner. Again we find a class of girls making advanced problems, school dresses and after- noon dresses that will be suitable for the office after graduation. We go on, now, to Miss Charles' class in History of Costume. Large posters are being displayed while a member of the class gives a review of the progress of fashions. Mrs. Huberty, across the hall, has a class of girls who are trying to master the art of dressmaking in two ycars. They sew four periods each day, and receive a certificate when they have completed the two-year trades course. We walk on down to thc end of the corridor to see the interesting garments in Miss McCarthy's room. One girl shows us a beautifully-made suit of wool, while another girl holds up a woolen coat that has the perfect look of custom-made. From here, we go to the first floor to watch the girls in Miss Ray's room operate the power machines. It's noisy, but very interesting. Miss Ray tells us about the great quantity of pajamas, bed jackets, and children's dresses made for the Red Cross. It is quantity production for these girls. Miss Wilbur in the room next door is Working with senior girls who are now making their last problem, the graduation dress. Mrs. Stanhope supervises plans and cutting lor alter- noon dresses.

Across the hall, Miss Emma Meyer is teaching a class in home nursing. We look in on two senior girls in a small kitchen, preparing a special luncheon for six guests. In the small dining-room, adjoin- ing the kitchen, the table is set with sparkling silver and glass. A bowl of flowers is at the center of the table, and there are favors at each place. As we go down the corridor, we stop to congratulate six Trades Foods girls on the success of their day's trial at operating a tea room. We go on to Miss Cain's and Miss Emerson's kitchens. In both rooms we find girls in clean white aprons and protective hair nets, making salads and other appctizing dishes for a class luncheon. It is now time to visit the cafeteria if we wish to see the attractive arrange- ment of food for the noon luncheon. We take a tray, select a crisp lettuce salad, a hot Swedish roll, a main dish of scolloped potatoes and ham, and a piece of fluffy cake with strawberry cream frosting. We pass the cashier's desk and pay or surprisingly small amount to an efficient senior girl. We cast admiring glances at thc attractiveness of the cafeteria as We hurry on to the ground floor to see the little girls and boys, pre-school age, who make up the Child Care class. Mrs. Waldeck, who is in charge, tells us how Iimmie has gained four pounds and Carol Ann is no longer afraid to cat her lunch. The luncheon period is over and the girls in the class are helping their small charges to prepare for the usual afternoon nap. In the Cafeteria. Groce pours coffee :from ct large coffee pot.

In Miss Dean's room, the girls are reading poetry, While next door Miss NoWell's class is dramatizing one of Shakespeare's plays. We go on to Mrs. Tiernan's room and find the class studying a unit in the production of the movies. Down at the end of the corridor, Miss Nott is teaching a class in English lUA. We listen to a drill in spelling and move across the hall Where Miss Reese is patiently drilling a freshman class in English grammar and punctuation. We move on upstairs to the second floor and find a junior class in Miss O'Brien's room Writing compositions. We go on down the hall to Miss Webb's room. Here We find a class in English 7. Our visit to the English department would not be complete Without a moment in Miss Newton's Newswriting class. The Technata gets its start here -What an opportunity these girls have to prepare for life with a splendid training in reading, writing and speaking good English! Miss Webbs' class in Eng English Compositions hold the cfttention of these girls. Reading CI story to the class helps to improve the ability to read. Mrs. Tiernctn's class study C1 unit in the production oi the movies. V 29 Physics students making a ba- rometer. Maybe they can tell us if it is going to rain, SCIENCE We follow our guide to Room lU5. Here we find ourselves in Miss Gill's Chemistry Laboratory. The girls in the class are working before a long table washing bottles and putting on new labels. Miss Gill tells us this is inventory and a general clean up and rearrangement of chemicals and equipment in preparation for the new semesters work. The work goes on even when the Physics class comes in for some laboratory work. We ask about the delicate instrument one girl is testing and demonstrating. We learn it is a balance, used for testing Wcight, or, as the student says, when we ask about it, it is a test of the law of gravity. We go across the hall to Miss Meyer's class in biology and find her girls interested in the study of plants and animals. They are getting ready to study the frog. Microscopes are ready on thc desks while over near the window is a tank for the frogs. Near Miss Meyer's desk, We examine a small plantatorium, and Miss Meyer tells us how and why it grows that way. We go out into the corridor and Miss Gill suggests we go into her Science class which is having a period of visual education. A small screen is dropped and a pro- jector throws the picture on it. The girls have an interesting lesson this way and do not need a textbook for it. ln the Biology class the girls are engaged in the serious business ol dissecting frogs. Washing bottles and a gen- eral clean-up of the Chem- istry laboratory, Filling clean bottles with new chemicalsp putting on new labels. Visual education in a Sci- ence 9B class. l 1 ,W Harts' Sociology class. SCDCIAI. SCIENCE A visit through the school would be incomplete if We did not visit the classes in Social Science. The first class We visit is in a far corner on the fourth floor. Miss Van Velzer is teaching the revolutionary conditions of the Middle Ages in Europe, and Miss Van Velzer tells us that this is a class in Medieval History. The next period there will be a class in Modern History. Our guide now takes us down to thc second floor Where We stop to hear an interesting discussion in Miss Hart's class, in Sociology. We stop in another room around the corner of the corridor, Where Miss Hopkins is cxplaining social security to the class, and the need for each girl to have a copy of her birth certifi- cate. We rnove down the corridor to Room 208. Mrs. Davis is teaching a class of freshmen in the principles of Citizenship. Next we go down stairs to the first floor and visit Miss Colescott's Class in United States History. Maps on the Wall help the class to follow the early growth of territory from the east to the West coast. Miss Colescott invites us to come back the next hour to a class in Economics. We stop at the next room for a short visit in Miss Oliver's class in Citizenship. Miss Oliver tells us the girls in this clas-s are all enrolled in the tour-year trade sewing course. Charts and posters used in Miss Miss Hopkins' class in Civics learn the real problems of Citizenship. No one can get along today without knowing the history ot our country. Economics teaches thrift, and how to avoid inflation. try problem. MATHEMATICS VVe enter the door to Room 211 where Mrs. Lee is teaching a class in Geometry. What complicated problems these girls are explaining to the class! One girl stands at the black board and draws angles and straight lines which she carefully letters A B C and indicates angles which she marks X Y When the demonstration is over we look at the faces in the class, expecting to see doubt and un- certainty, but to our surprise there is intelligent understanding. We decide they know what it is about. We wait to visit a few moments with Mrs. Lee while the girls pass out of the room, and another group comes in. This is an Algebra class-will we be able to follow the girls with their algebra problems? We Watch the girl put problems on the board a T b multiplied by Za My Zb , and we decide to leave the class to their future findings and go to Mrs. Bong's class in Arithmetic. Here is an everyday subject we do know about. Dollars and cents, pounds and ounces, are terms we understand. The mothers of these girls should not hesitate to send them to do the shopping. They should be able to count ration points accurately, as well as pay the bills. Lines and circles for a geome Mrs. Bong's class in Arithme- tic lind very little difficulty here. Algebra develops alertness ofthe mind. A good founda- tion lor geometry. The class solves the compli- cated problems in geometry. Part of oltice practice labora- tory is the operation of the mimeograph. CCDMMERCIAL Our guide takes us now to visit the Commercial Department. The door ot room 2Ul is opened, and tor a moment We are startled by the sudden, sharp noise of thirty typewriters all going at once. In a moment We see Miss Roche moving down the center aisle, directing a drill exercise. Across the corridor Miss Vrana is counting time tor a class in second semester typewriting. Our guide opens the door to Miss Green's bookkeeping room. A class in advanced bookkeeping is sorting, counting and rolling money. The money will be deposited later' in a downtown bank. In the room next door, Miss McKeith is teaching a class in geography. The girls are studying natural resources. We move on to room 219, and tind Miss Lange dictating shorthand to a class ot senior girls at the rate ot one hundred words per minute. We again move on down stairs to Mrs. Collins' room. Here a class in sales- manship is having a sales demonstration. One girl is standing before the class With a pair of skates in her hand. We move on with our guide to Mrs. DWyer's class in bookkeeping. A second semester class is posting from the journal to the ledger. We now visit a class in ottice practice. Miss Shields takes over Miss Gordon's class in ottice procedure, and teaches the girls to operate the comptometers and calculators. The problem today is multiplication by ma- chine. We tollow Miss Shields across the hall to Watch two girls run oft copies from a stencil on the mimeograph machine. The Office Practice class co- operates with the office, to give the seniors experience. A shorthand class transcribe the notes taken in Miss Lange's class- Miss Shield's class in opera- tion of comptoineters and calculators.

We take the elevator up and arrive in the brightly decorated room where Miss Beyer comes to meet us with her friendly smile. She tells us the girls are making posters today. We Walk about and think if these are just posters , what a Wonderful training these girls must be getting. The figures on the posters are outlined, then dressed in silks, wools and other materials. Rapidly the figures on the posters take on the appearance of dolls. Miss Beyer calls our attention to the miniature stage at the front of the room. We Watch and marvel as the girls arrange innumerable strings attached to dainty little doll figures. A little dancing scene by the marionettcs is performed for our entertainment, and this is art! There are other surprising exhibits for us. Mrs. Grant's class have art designs for wall paper and dress materials. There are interior house displays, and little figures modeled out of clay and soap. We decide the Art Department has a definite value in the education of the girls, and is practical as Well as artistic. Commercial Art as a practical Mrs. Grant points out the deli cute workmanship of these smcll models. An Art Croft! class in Miss Beyer's art Studio. The girl: at the right are learning to weave on small looms. Unique posters ure popular. These girls are dressing small Marionette tigures. K ll saxophones. BAND We go into Room 125, and listen to the Senior A Cappella Chorus singing, Let All My Life Be Music , conducted by Miss Maude Glynn. There are sixty girls in this chorus. Later we return to the music room to Watch Miss Glynn conduct a rehearsal of the Senior Band. The girls are dressed in the band uniforms and seem to be serious about their music. Miss Glynn tells us they will play for the assembly the fifth hour. We are fascinated With the drummers. Then our attention is attracted to the sweet notes of the flutes. Miss Glynn stops the rehear- sal to give a group of French horns some directions. We are astonished at the ability and skill ot the girl who plays the tuba. The trumpet section harmonizes beautifully and the rumbling tympani provides a thrill of a real band. Miss Glynn invites us to return later when the Iunior band will come in for a rehearsal. Tuba, bassoon, trombone and Two ne-crt rows of clcxrinets. Mellow French horns cmd triumphant - sounding 'trum- pets. A rumbling of the drums. Junior Band. Preity soon they'11 be in Senior Bofnd. High, sweet notes from the flutes. CHCDRUS GRCHESTRA As We Walk down the corridor We hear music-an orchestra re- hearsal in the auditorium tempts us to open the door. It is not a rehearsal, but a regular class in orchestra. The first and second violins are receiving Miss Maricella Meyer's attention. Now try again. Thc baton goes up and the Wood Winds, French Horns, and violins take it together. Perhaps someone is a little off key but, as We listen, We Wonder how it is done. Girls who never played a musical instrument before entering Girls' Tech, arc now sitting there in that group confi- dently playing real music. The beautiful harp attracts our attention, and Miss Meyer tells us it belongs to the school. Mrs. Moore gives lessons on it and several girls are learning to play. If a girl has a desire to develop Whatever musical skill she may possess, she has an opportunity at Girls' Tech. Basses and the harp. Cello section of ihe orches- tru. Lei All My Life Be Music Music Council. A group of monitors who take core of all music and insirumenis. Play ball! Strike two! Home run! PHYSICAL EDUCATICDN We find training for healthy bodies and healthy minds an important part of the course of study at Girls' Tech. Evcry girl must be enrolled in a class of Physical Education each semester she attends school. Our guide takes us to the old gym on the ground floor. Miss Batten is directing two groups on the floor. We are told this is folk dancing. lt is train- ing in posture and grace, as well as good exercise. The girls enjoy doing it. Later the indoor tennis classes take the floor. Our guide takes us to the elevator and we go to the fourth floor to the new gym . Miss Iungton is directing a volley ball game on the floor. When the game is finished, the next group of girls come out on the floor. They are dressed in regulation suits and take up positions for training exercises. Miss Iungton again directs them. The first set of exercises are with the arms, then arms and feet. Now the girls go down on the floor and the exercises get faster and harder. The uniform motions keep up, and the girls get a little breathless. We stand by, somewhat breathless, watching them. A command of rest is called and the girls drop back on the floor. Miss Iungton tells us thcse girls come to class every day. One day they are in Miss Batten's classes and next day in Miss Iungton's classes, that is the schedule for 9th and lUth grades. In the llth and 12th grades Physical Education is required two days each week. Health class. Demonstration of care ot the teeth accom- panies a talk on health. Muscles strengthened. Your turn next. No Weaklings here. This is strenuous exercise. Table tennis. Alertness and skill needed here. LIBRARY As we enter the library for the first time, the beauty of the spacious room fascinates us. We see rows and rows of delightful books and we know we will visit this room many times in the future. In the corner of the room Miss Bur- dick is busy checking off library slips, and help- ing a girl find a book for tomorrow's book report. Library monitors are putting books on the shelves and rearranging those out of order. Comfortable tables and chairs seem to almost fill the room. We would like to select a good book, sit right down in this lovely room, and spend the rest of the day reading. Miss Burdick calls our attention to the west window in the center of the room. It is a Memorial window, placed there ten years ago by the students and faculty in memory of a dearly loved principal, Ora A. Blanchar, who passed away in the spring of 1935. Seniors FEBRUARY CLASS OFFICERS Leona Kwiatowski leanette Woelfl President Vice President CLASS HISTORY FEBRUARY CLASS Remember our first big day? We were begin- ning a new and wonderful experience. There we were all together in the auditorium. Some of us were shy and wondering, others gay and excited. Then we had the first glimpse of our new principal. Yes, our own Miss Dysart, the person we have all learned to respect and ad- mire. After her warm welcome there was a feeling of sudden pride because we could raise our heads now and say that we were a part of this wonderful place called Girls' Tech. Ah, yes, Girls' Tech where we learned how to manipulate a clever contraption called the typewriter, where we learned of the wonders of Science, and of the strange signs by a man named Gregg. Then too, we've been intro- duced rather informally to all sorts of interest- ing people such as Shakespeare, Poe, Scott, Browning, Dickens, and many others. We have refought the Civil and Revolutionary wars. We have been given a good start in the domestic line, and can whip up a delightful luncheon or stitch up a pretty frock. In child care we learned how to become intelligent mothers. We feel we can be tactful saleswomen and in- telligent consumers. Each class has meant teamwork, and each class has contributed something to our knowledge of what will be expected of us as future active citizens. Besides our work, we had some pretty grand times. When we were Sophornores we were thrilled to discover after we were assembled in our beautiful auditorium that we were to be entertained by none other than the great Rubi- noff and his violin-remember Intermezzo? Another highlight of that year was the famous Mormon Quartet, whose version of Mood Indigo is unforgettable. Mr. Otto Schacht, a kindly gentleman, with a very fine baritone voice has Margaret Heim Rose Ullein . Secretary Treasurer made frequent visits to Tech. We appreciate his philosophy as well as his singing. Pan Americana was indeed a colorful thing, gay senorittas in bright shawls and dresses could be seen swirling to the tantalizing music of a Spanish rumba, and bright smiles flashed as we sang the songs of our Southern neighbors. By the way we attended our first afterschool dance as Sophomores. Iuniors are not to be ignored. This is the year that marked the ever memorable luncheons which were planned, prepared, and served by the girls. Any senior will tell you now that it is over that it was great fun and that she would just love to do it all over again . The beautiful Christmas play will not soon be for- gotten. We can relive that first exciting and successful Bond Rally. Early in the year two of our friends went into service. Ensign Theresa Druml is in Washington, D. C. Staff Sgt. Emma Martz is with the Eighth Bomber Command in England. At last-Seniors. Oh!! and aren't we the sophisticated grown up young ladies. Looking at our new little Freshies we wonder could we possibly have looked and acted like that? the decision is unanimous, UNO! This is the year we operate the candy and ice-cream stands, the proceeds from which support our Senior Club where we discuss and plan activi- ties for the year. The thrilling highlight of the year was the beautiful Pagaent of Salute to Freedom written by Miss Dysart. Our Senior play Scoops was a clever little mystery and don't we just love mysterys! Then of course there's Senior-Freshie Day, which always promises to be quite amusing because it's the day when Seniors don their kid sisters' dresses and swipe baby brothers choo-choos to pull down the corridors while they mooch noisily on all day suckers. Lt. ljgl lane Whitney paid us a surprise visit just before our Christmas Holiday. Lt. ljgl Whitney is stationed at the Naval Air Base in San Diego, California. IUNE CLASS OFFICERS Patricia Volk Frances Bergmann President Vice President Senior Mothers' Tea is the last chance to chat with teachers and students over the teacups, unless we are leaving behind a younger sister. Exams are over, graduating dresses are com- pleted and we await the momentous occasion -Commencement Night. One more gala get- together as Seniors-the Collation at the Hotel Pfister. After that we face another new and wonderful experience-life. 1 UNE CLASS September 9, 1941 Dear Diary, Today dear diary, I joined about 275 other young girls and enrolled in high school. We know that the years we will spend here at Tech will be very happy ones. But this first day! We confessed to each other that we felt very small and unimportant. Goodnight Frosh September lU, 1941 Dear Diary, It seems that Betty Fredrick's registration card was lost. After all the girls had been assigned to their new homerooms, she was the only one left in the big auditorium. She was too afraid to say anything, so she just sat there until Miss Dysart looked up from her work. Finally, a new card was made out and she was happily on her way to Miss Margaret Meyer's homeroom. Goodnight Frosh Dear Diary, Well, finally we started high school. There were only three days to this week. Iean Ehr- man was determined that she would not have a detention all semester. Well, these first three days she had only eleven of them. She doesn't know why. Goodnight F rosh Marcella Buchholtz Hildegard Engel Secretary Treasurer September 12, 1941 Dear Diary, Shirley Heicher was late to her history class today. She insists that she took the stairway she usually does, but found herself face to face with the attic. When trying another stairway, she bumped into the cafeteria. The next stair- way ended with the gym in front of her. Finally she did arrive in the history class sort of worn out and late. Goodnight Frosh September 20, 1941 Dear Diary. Today Pearl Spear discovered that room 109 wasn't the music room as some seniors had led her to believe it was. Poor Pearl, she's such a trusting soul. Goodnight Frosh October 4, 1941 Dear Diary, Alice Iusczyak certainly got a surprise today. While drinking water from a bubbler, several older girls stopped and asked her if she had a Water permit. Being quite frightened, she went to Miss Margaret Meyer who sent her to Miss Martz. From there she was sent to Miss Dysart. Miss Dysart was quite amazed at her story, but relieved her of her worry by telling her that she didn't need a permit. Goodnight Frosh October 14, 1941 Dear Diary, Miss De Vin's homeroom girls really ought to get their directions straight when they plan a picnic. Their picnic was to start at four-fifteen but at five o'clock they were still wandering around trying to locate each other. Goodnight Frosh fContinued on page 1381 ff ,T . N.

President of the lune Graduating Class Home Rooms Miss Hart at her desk in conference with two senior girls. Guidance Department The staff ot the Guidance Department con- sists of all the homeroom teachers, four of Whom have been selected to assist as special advisors for each of the tour classes, and one teacher, Miss Agnes Hart, in charge ot the department. The student body is divided into small home- rooms, varying in size from twenty-tive to thirty- five students. Teachers assigned to these groups remain With them through the eight semesters, except When a problem of adminis- tration necessitates a change. The homeroom is a primary unit in our edu- caational organization which corresponds to the family in the larger social community. Here an effort is made to create school conscious- ness, wholesome attitudes, and a detinite con- ception of social and individual responsibilities. The major objective in guidance is to estab- lish a pupil-teacher relationship which develops mutual understanding. Once this comradeship is established the teacher becomes an adviser who is loved, respected and consulted. The rapport which grows out of the intimate social contacts of the homeroom is the agency which molds the membcrs into desirable social pat- terns. lndividual and social growth makes pro- gress in the homeroom because its members have interests and goals that are similar.

A group of girls portraying college students lounging in a dorma- tory was the setting for the radio broad- cast of the Life of Stephen Foster . The broadcast told of his fascinating life and presented some of his more familiar melodies. Through this means, the girls realize the intriguing land that can be found behind the cover of a book. The girls who thought a biography could not make an interesting book were sur- prised to learn through this demonstra- tion how fascinating a biography could be. The book week display of new books, attractively arranged in a cabinet on the main floor was studied with interest throughout the Week. In the wall cases near the office, book jackets from new books in our library added a note of color to the corridor. The English classes emphasized the joy to be found in read- ing good books. Many girls made reso- lutions to read as many of the new books as they could find time for in the next few months.

Tl-TE 6th WQR BGND SQLES In the Bth War Bond Sales our school exceeded the quota by H55,UUU. The total amount of War bonds and stamps sold Was 534535. The Victory Council led by Dolores Dombrow, the president, sponsored the sale. We Went over the top in a enthusiastic assembly meeting in the auditorium. A large bomb was loaned to us by a local factory, making bombs for the United States govern- ment. Each girl and member of the faculty who lbought a bomb was en- titled to autograph the bomb. Later the bomb was returned to the factory, filled and shipped to the War front. Mr. Ben Barker was the guest speaker and spurred the enthusiasm by his inspiring talk. The G. T. girls told briefly Where their fathers were fighting on the far War fronts. A song by Maricella Meyer added a quiet moment. Then the Gold Star girls came on the stage and in a Word or two, told us about their brothers who had given their lives to make men free. The senior girls from Miss Nott's room were vendors of War stamps, and the Minute Maids sold war bonds. The sale closed with l000!o participation. l 138 !Confinued from page 511 November 5, 1941 Dear Diary, I wonder if Eileen Hartwig was trying to create a new style here at Tech by wearing a paper towel around her mouth. Maybe it was because she didn't know that art class is not the proper place to eat peppermint candies. Goodnight Frosh November 10, 1941 Dear Diary, Today has been a dreadful day at school. News has been spread that at the first school dance, which is to be held next week, no fresh- man will be allowed to go. Imagine! putting us out of a school affair. What have those sophomores, juniors and seniors got? I just can't see through that rule. Valeria Spoerl and Rita Cyganiak were going to form a committee and fight for their rights, but what can a few little freshmen do to change that rule? Ho Hum! I guess, dear diary, I blew off enough steam for tonight. Someday I'll be a sophomore and then I can go to all the dances, and then let the new freshman feel as I feel now. Goodnight Frosh November 15, 1941 Dear Diary, My first party since I entered Tech, ooh--how happy this made me, except they seemed to think we were just out of our rompers. I had thought I was so big because I was going to high-school and what happens I get a little doll and lolly pop as a prize. Some of the more fortunate ones received as a reward for their labors one of those luscious paddle pops. They looked sooo - - - good my tongue hung down t . o my socks A Frosh February 8, 1942 Dear Diary. Dolores Drzewiecke is truly the Fibber McGee of Girls' Tech. Every morning it's the same story-open goes the locker, down with a crash comes the plunder: books, magazines, chewed on apples, pencils and junk galore! Calmly she takes off her coat, gathers up the parapher- nalia, hurriedly shoves the plunder into her locker and nonchalantly stalks off. This is ditto every morning. Frosh April 19, 1942 Dear Diary, Today was the most perfect day. The sun was shedding its bright rays upon me. At noon, I sought relief from the hard boards we use for seats, on the satin smooth fragrant down of our campus Of course, I'm not fooling any one, Tech's campus consists of one measly square foot of grass, tenderly cared for by eighteen hundred gardeners. That square foot of land is the most photo- rated in the country. Everyone fights to use it as her background. Bette Caspari brought her camera today and Shirley Tarte shot Bette in some very impish poses. Oh, dear diary, grade school was never like this. Freshie june 19, 1942 Dear Diary, Well, the exams are over and our summer vacation begins today. I passed, and when school opens in the fall I will no longer be a green freshman. Goodnight Frosh September 2, 1942 Dear Diary, My wonderful vacation has ended and here I am again in school, starting my sophomore year. Goodness how time flies! I'm not a freshie anymore. However, it was a hectic day in school. There was the arranging of classes and programs which they tell me occurs at the be- ginning of every semester. Soph September 26, 1942 Dear Diary, Sewing is beginning to be a real problem. It isn't as simple as you might think it would be. A person just can't cut out a piece from the center of the material. After one finally gets the garment cut out, she is very anxious to sew it together on the machine. Today after class Maxine Connelly said to me, No wonder I got such curves in my seams! Why didn't she tell me I had to baste it first! Now we can understand why our year book is called the Ripper, I guess in order to get a good piece of work done one has to rip, and rip, and rip! Soph November 3, 1942 Dear Diary, Today Dorothy Hadden and her girl friend Margaret Hahn tried to jitterbug before class in gym. After few swift kicks at each other's ankles, they finally mastered what they thought a pretty good routine. But, oh Boy! What Miss Batten thought of it isn't worth mentioning. Soph November 10, 1942 Dear Diary, Gee! Am I stiff! My legs are so sore. We had to stand on our heads. I got as far as my knees! Guess l've got some way to go. Don't know how many times I came tumbling down to the floor with a loud wham!! Soph November 18, 1942 Dear Diary, Elaine Henke is still putting the capital of U. S. in the state of Washington. Guess Miss McKeith will do a lot if she straightens her up on that. Soph November l9, 1942 Dear Diary, Nothing very important happened today. In homeroom we were getting quite noisy, so Miss O'Brien uttered her ever famous sentence May we have it quiet, pul-lease ? Soph November 20, 1942 Dear Diary, Evelyn Basile says she is getting to like stage crew better and better. Today Miss Nowell sent the girls back stage for some muslin which they should cut up to patch the rips and tears on the set. They found some cloth back stage and set to work. Later Miss Nowell came in only to find her new slack suit had been used for the piece of muslin. Soph November 22, 1942 Dear Diary, Today was another day chucked full of re- hearsals for the all school-show Pan Ameri- cana . But the performance tonight was worth putting extra time on it. The scene takes place in the Club Americana. We saw the great Ferdinand. Ah! Who is he?-The one and only bull of South America. The toreador comes into the arena with his red cape swinging behind him. Ferdinand awakens and charges at the toreador snorting as he comes. Soft, loud and louder until the sound dies off. Ferdinand charges around and around him! It's a narrow escape as he misses the toreador. Ferdinand does not give up however, but tries and tries again. Ferdinand is down. They take his tail and crank him upg upg up he goes. Victory has been accomplished. Imagine! cranking a bull's tail to get him up! As extreme as it seems we really enjoyed the stunt. Wish I could get to know those fellows better that were, accidental- ly on purpose, sitting next to us. Soph December 21, 1942 Dear Diary, My but some time has elapsed since I first wrote. Christmas vacation is just beginning. The program at school was wonderful. Who Wouldn't say that if her homeroom teacher had been the director, of it? We celebrated our party with out Miss O'Brien because she was busy back stage. laws are still sore from gab- bing all period. Helen Offenbecher and Shirley Frank must have ........ by now. Soph january 6, 1943 Dear Diary, A little pink bundle of joy was brought to the home of Bernice Dumke. It was in the form of a sweet little niece. Gee! She's cute, and just like her grandmother, mother, and auntie, will go to Tech. Soph Ianuary 28, 1943 Dear Diary, Am I glad my bookkeeping exams are over, was Gertrude Nielsen's first statement to me today. I myself hate to think what my marks will be. Soph March 31, 1943 Oh, dear diary, Biology certainly has become a trial. The class strolled into the room today and what should confront them but a huge jar of pre- served frogs. Bernedette Iohnston became panicy when it was suggested they were there for a very good purpose: mainly, to be disected by us. From then on until the ugly task was completed that biology period proved la horror to her. Quite to the contrary was Bernice Pickle who, when told what the assignment was, ap- proached the frog with that fiendish gleam in her eye-peculiar only to Pic -picked up the formaldinyde soaked creature and com- menced to rip . Soph February 6, 1943 Dear Diary, The mix-up of programs and classes was not quite so bad. As yet my program has not been changed. I sure get a kick out of the Freshies. It almost seems impossible that I could have been so green. Soph April 15, 1943 Dear Diary, My how the seniors looked today! It was Senior-Freshie day. I think that according to their dress the proper title would be Senior- Kindergarten Day. They came dressed up in very short dresses with dolls, sun suits and licking on large suckers. Can't wait until I can do it too. Soph May 28, 1943 Dear Diary, The Seniors are sure in a flurry for that great day fgraduationl is just around the corner. After seeing some of their beautiful gowns, I get scared. By the time I graduate I probably will look like a comic valentine in my gown. Soph Iune lU, 1943 Dear Diary, My goodness!! I just found out why Miss O'Brien is looking forward with such eagerness to the summer vacation. She will certainly need the rest, and just think, for two and one-half months she won't have to say May we have it quiet Pleaseeeef' Soph 9' A victorious evening at Boys' Tech! September 8, l943 Dear Diary, Even to you I cannot express this glow like feeling inside. A junior! Gosh, I'm a little scared, the years are flying so quickly I'm afraid I won't have time for all I want to do. I'm having a wee bit of trouble with my chemistry assignment. Bette's always complain- ing about her shorthand. You can certainly distinguish the junior homerooms that have shorthand girls in them. There are ciphers all over the board and every other available space. Ir. September l3, 1943 Dear Diary, This compulsory gym is getting some of the girls down. Rita Cyganiak and Berandine Czap- licka just looked agast when Miss Whitney an- nounced that gym suits were to be brought on the following day. Goodness knows what they did to those suits during the summer months. Bette Fredricks, Rosemary Renz, Iune Pes- kuric, Shirley Heicher, and Eileen Hartwig did some fighting this afternoon for their cafeteria lunch table. Seems as if some seniors said it was theirs. Miss E. Meyer settled the dispute, but our Iuniors were called freshmen by those hauty Seniors. Ir. October 2, 1943 Dear Diary, This outdoors gym is getting to be a little on the strenuous side. Bernice Peckel and Ruth Volmer haven't made up their minds if it's age or overwork which makes them literally crip- ples. I think it's running up and down those four flights of stairs. The weird creations that some of room l4's brood are doing for tonight will set your teeth a chattering and knees a knocking. Must be a party brewing, or is it just the spirit of Hal- lowe'en flowing through their veins. Ir. November 10, 1943 Dear Diary. Bernadette johnson, Audrey Schmidt, Grace Schneider, Ester Sikorski, and Frieda Wood discussed their reasons for education on the radio November 6. They were all very pleased with themselves until they heard the comments. and what comments! Miss Cain asked Christine Segal to be the patient the other day for our home nursing class. Christine was shy, so Audrey Scmidt jumped at the chance to lie in bed. Two full periods she lay there, smiling and contented, while the rest of the class sat on those horrid stools. Why weren't we smart enough? Ir. November 18, 1943 Dear Diary, We advanced to bathing babies and check- ing each other's temperature. Lucille Krueger looked quite surprised as she dressed the baby and after she was all finished discovered it was wet. Virginia Swertz got to mixing some acids to- day in chemistry. A new explosive was sent in to the War Department. Poor Virginia, she still gets H:SO1 mixed with CHHCOOI-I. World of Sweet Dreams Ir. December 23, 1943 Dear Diary, Oh, I feel and look like a stuffed pig. Many a girl made that remark as she left school this afternoon. Why do we always eat too much at parties? Did you see that huge Christmas cake in IOS? It didn't last very long with that group, especially with Frieda, Lucille and Au- drey on the refreshment committee. Where there's food you find that trio. I can't begin to describe the Christmas play. It was so refreshing. There was the A Cappella Chorus and Tableaux on the Birth of Christ. The music was so beautiful that we relived the scene that had taken place at Bethlehem long ago. Audrey Geise received some very personal things from Louise Diedish this Christmas. The whole class had to see them. The red light coming out of 203 was not the exit light walk- ing but Audrey's face. Dreamland be prepared Ir. january 29, l944 Dear Diary, That semester dicln't tarry with us very long. Exams were here, need I mention the fact I'm glad they went fast. I wonder who invented an exam. A few of the girls would like to know. I'm sure. In the history exam one of our bright girls wrote The Continental Congress was sent to King George, and he laid it aside. H'mmm wonder if they're still there? Someone should write and find out. Now to rest Ir. February 13, 1944 Dear Diary, I want to tell you about our pageant. We called it Salute to Freedom . There were tab- leaux scenes of the landing of Columbus, the signers of the Declaration of Independence, the Spirit of '76, Negro Spiritualists, Southern Belles, the Golden Spike, War Torn Peoples, and Lady Liberty. Then there were the Home Front De- fenders, the chorus and Verse Speaking Choir. The Verse Speaking Choir felt hurt because there wasn't a picture of them in the Ripper. They sat on a raised platform and Frieda Wood, one of the girls in the choir, literally broke her neck. The platform couldn't withstand her weight, was her retort. Christine Segal, at the final rehearsal had to Are you wiih us? Lt. fig? Icxne E. Whitney U-Rah! U-Rah! U-Rah! Nc1vcr1Air Sicxiion Scm Diego, California emerge her sunny disposition through the cloud of gloom. The scene was supposed to be full of sorrow. Christine changed it a bit. Again to bed, Ir. April 30, 1944 Dear Diary, The Make-Up-Box presented a delightful com- edy, The Florist Shop, by Winifred Hawbridge. From all reports the girls had a grand time at rehearsals. Born actors is my opinion. I have just become acquainted with the new subject at Tech, Child Care. Half awake one morning, I strolled into the building. My eyes were soon widened, as I gazed at 6 feet, 3 inches of a man. Later as I revealed my find- ings, I was informed that he was a father of one of the children in the nursery. The U. S. History class wrote a few delightful ditties, dedicated to Miss Colscott's red hair. Marion Larsen, related her concern over the fact that Miss Colscott is as yet still unwed. Give her time Marion. The senior's had a prom and the juniors were invited. Think of the music, the twirl of long flowing skirts, the punch, the twelve o'clock curfew for sixteen year olds: these memories will live on forever. And so to sleep, Ir. May 20, l944 Dear Diary, V Audrey Schmidt boiled her sulfer too long, causing it to fly all over the room, and burn her hand. Poor Aud, Frieda carried her boons home for her as Miss Gill put a huge bandage on the burn. It would be a night before a test and Schmidt had to do a lot of studying. She didn't have to carry the books. The luncheons deserve a word of praise. Ex- cellent is the word. Lucille Krueger and Beth Caspari couldn't whip their chocolate whip. Bernice Pickel and Christine Segal made a prize winning cheese cake. Gladys Reddemann and Phyllis Terrio carved their place cards out of soap. Audrey Schmidt and Frieda Wood were too scared to notice if anything went right or wrong. Those two, to earn extra money, rented their serving aprons to all the girls. Things didn't proceed as planned for the money making fiends. We made pies in homemaking today. Miss Goold informed Family I that their pies didn't taste like the ones mother used to make. Ir. june 9, 1944 My dear diary, My year is closed, but there will be one more. We have had a very eventful month. National Honor pins were awarded to Ruth Ochs, Esther Sikorski, Virginia Peplinski and Frieda Wood. Many of the girls received Local Honor Certifi- cates. Some of the juniors ushered for the Senior Play. One poor lass got her heel caught in the hem of her formal and founded a new Iitterbug step. ' The homerooms decided to splurge this year on picnics. Miss Margaret Meyer's attendance on that day will live in history. Four of some odd 24 showed up for the gala affair. While the girls of Miss Nowel1's homeroom were out wading in the water one of them lost her slacks. The greater half got wet, conse- quently the group had to contribute their towels for her to wear while the slacks were dried at the fire. Webster never coined the adjectives to be used for such an occasion. It's time to shut the doors and prod on home until next year. Good-bye till then Ir. September 9, 1944 Dear Diary, Here I am in my senior year. Gosh, time certainly passes one by in a hurry. It seems that just yesterday We entered Girls' Tesh as freshmen. Of course, during the summer time I rather dreaded the thought of going back to school, but when I walked into our homeroom and saw Miss Dean and all the girls that I chummed around With, I felt a choke in my throat and decided there was no greater thrill than coming back to my good, old alma mater. As I entered, Betty Fox was busily relating her experiences to Elsie Hauboldt, and I-Iildegard. Engel was telling Catherine Nampel about her nice vaca- tion spent working at the dime-store. Edith Kruschel was trying to get a word in edgewise and finally succeeded. All of the girls were admiring Dolores Krolikowski's beautiful tan. Senior September 15, 1944 Dear Diary, Today Eileen Hartwig, Shirley Heicher, Pearl Spear, and Betty Fredrich came loaded down with extra bags of lunch, big chunks of wood, and slacks over their arms, because they were perpared for their Wiener roast at Estabrook park. Senior October 2, 1944 Dear Diary. It was good to see Doris Calliari and Mary Panos talking to each other again today. Their quarrel didn't last long this time. Senior October 15, 1944 Dear Diary, In English class We are having lots of fun testing our ability as Shakespearian actresses. Yesterday, Christine Segal took the part of Macbethg today Theresa Kozlowski took it. Bernice Dumke was a fine Lady Macbeth. Senior QZVLMZMQJ Spifzfi 145 November 6, 1944 Dear Diary, Vacation for a little while during Teacher's Convention was a relief from all that homework and those heavy schoolbooks. Senior November 8, 1944 Dear Diary, Today, we girls here at Tech had the privi- lege of voting for the President of the United States. Ballots were cast in 102, 209, 301 and the library on sample ballots, secured from the City Hall, during study periods. The elec- tion returns tallied close to the national returns received today. President Roosevelt of course received a large majority. Dewey too had some loyal supporters. Senior November 15, 1944 Dear Diary. Wednesday, Audrey Schmidt, Edith Kruschel and about forty of us girls from the senior Eng- lish classes had the time of our lives. We were excused from all of our afternoon classes to go to the Davidson Theatre to see Paul Robeson in Othello . For many of us it was the first time we had seen the inside of the Davidson. Even if we did have to climb hundreds of steps and sit close to heaven it was a memorable afternoon, for the deeptoned, vibrant voice of Paul Robeson caused our hearts to race as fast as the speed limit would allow. Senior November 25, 1944 Dear Diary, Today everyone was singing Happy Birth- day, Miss Dysart, Happy Birthday to you. Senior December 8, 1944 Dear Diary, Everyone had on her Sunday best for to- night's senior mixer. The gym didn't look like itself - what with the evergreens, ribbons, mistletoe and all. At first, the boys were a little shy, but we got acquainted. We had punch to drink when we could get near the table without being trampled on. Some of the faculty danced, too. My shoes are a mess, and do my feet hurt! Senior December 13, 1944 Dear Diary, A Theresa Kozlowski and Dolores Krolikowski supposedly were doing their work in the stock- room. In reality they were the unseen audience to the refrains of Christmas Carols that were sung in the music room. The stockroom, which should have been lighted, was pitch dark, and the music, so sweet to their ears, put them to sleep. What a way to spend an hour, and with no one to interrupt them until the 2:00 o'clock bell rang! Senior Ianuary 12, 1945 Dear Diary. Eleanor Masshardt was wishing that she could perform all the tricks that Bobo the magi- cian did for us in assembly. Marion Pfeiffer and Geraldine Koch looked simply amazed at the great Bobo, and they just couldn't understand where the rabbit went. Senior Ianuary 19, 1945 Dear Diary, All this week, Delores Bauch has been carry- ing books, and studying as you have never seen her study. You might as well know the reason for all this studiousness. Exams! That fatal word is rearing its head again. Senior Ianuary 25, 1945 Dear Diary, Tonight the proud midsemester graduating class received their diplomas with many a tear flowing down their cheeks. Senior February 1, 1945 Dear Diary, Eams went along fine for the majority of the girls. If you see Linda Sedenberg going around with a gleam in her eyes, it's because she got 98 in shorthand. Of course, Doris Calliari, too, has sparkling eyes. You all know she's our champion typist. Senior February 2, 1945 Dear Diary, I really felt sorry for Miss Beyer today, trying to keep her commercial art girls awake. It must have been the after-affects of another one of those parties they're always planning. Senior February 9, 1945 Dear Diary, Today, certainly was a memorable one for me. Memorable because yours truly had her first day at the school's private switchboard. When I answered the first call, my vocal cords just refused to function properly. Oh well, we all make mistakes, but not such ignorant ones as I made, disconnecting Miss Dysart on an important call! Senior February 22, 1945 Dear Diary, Our new class officers are: Patricia Volk, presidentg Frances Bergmann, Vice presidentg Marcella Bucholtz, secretary. By the way, I heard Betty Fredrich was surprised to learn that she caused some excitement in senior meeting today. Senior March 2, 1945 Dear Diary, Alice in Wonderland was presented by the Girl Reserves under the direction of Miss Webb. Dolores Dombro played Alicep Doris Calliari and Dolores Cudnohoski were members of the 'Iabberwocky Club. I am ashamed to say that I could see myself occasionally at some of those meetin s. , g Senior March 13, 1945 Dear Diary, Anyone walking past room 107 these days is likely to hear strains of Heart and Soul pouring forth. Eileen Hartwig practising again. Could be someone is getting ready for the Con- cert. , Senior March 14, 1945 Dear Diary, Of course, the senior year always brings about anxious days. I hear that try outs for the senior play are taking place in the auditorium. Senior March 16, 1945 Dear Diary, Betty Fox certainly had a good idea when she suggested the World War II Exhibition, and we got busy on it right away! We took un- necessary things out of Room 312, and brought in interesting and exciting ones. Some of the articles which attracted most attention were: two Hula skirts from Hawaii: and two from the South Seas, German helmet, two big Nazi flags: perfume from France, bracelets from Sicily, Italy, and Irang purses from Egypt and India, a bloody Iapanese flagg beautiful white Chi- nese robe, a gorgeous white shawl from Indiag and a Montgomery Beret. The pennies which the girls contributed to the Red Cross box on their way out, added up to 251230. Senior March 19, 1945 Dear Diary, Pearl Spear, after a two weeks' vacation at home with strep throat, almost jumped out of her skin today when the bell rang while we were in our art class. She didn't know that someone had decided that the bell in 402 didn't ring loud enough and had it fixed so that now it sounds like a four-alarm fire. Senior April 4, 1945 Dear Diary. The seniors are now busily sewing on their lovely formals for graduation. Catherine Nample is almost through with her acqua gown, and so is Dolores Cudnohoski. Helen Czarniak looks very chic in her new Easter outfit. , Senior April l4, 1945 Dear Diary, Mary Panos and Doris Calliari were caught sneeking out of sewing class one minute before the noon bell. Mrs. Huberty called them back and now she watches that pair very carefully. I Naughty! Naughty. Senior May 3, 1945 Dear Diary, We seniors gave a very lovely tea for our mothers today, and from all the compliments received we feel a wee bit conceited. The re- freshments were delicious, thanks to our Home- making Department. Another thing that im- pressed me today was the fact that my class- mates all looked so grown-up in their best lth . Co es Senior May 10, 1945 Dear Diary, I saw the senior play tonight and in my opinion Broadway is ignoring future Kate Cor- nells. I guess I enjoyed it especially because it was so humorous. When I think of Delores Bauch, I just bubble over with giggles. And that mystery I'm still piling on blankets for my chills. Senior May 25, 1945 Dear Diary, Tonight will live in my memory forever. Our Iunior Prom was a big success. The band gave out with sweet jive, and the girls in their spring formals were all beautiful. Words fail me to- night! Senior Iune, 1945 Dear Diary, Another eventful day. I treasure my Ripper and wouldn't part with this masterpiece for anything. Senior Iune 14, 1945 Dear Diary, I still have a few tears left in my eyes as I write this. Tonight I graduated from Girls' Tech High. I know I shall never forget these four happy years. Good night, dear Tech.

Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel. For Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take.-Shakespeare In the great things that make our lives worth while the hearts of true friends beat as one. In every journey through life, they march together. Deep in the heart, the seed of their friendship is sown. They share our heaviest burden, and enjoy our greatest happiness. The friend we have from early childhood will grow dearer and dearer as time goes on. It is good to know many people. Every year we should widen our circle of friendly ac- quaintances. Many We may know, but few of these will we really choose. Time can never destroy the love of a true friend. The troubles and tribulations serve to bring us closer. Time will make bond between us that time itself can never clasp of a hand, a fond embrace, a tower love: a friend. We came into this world alone, cmd we alone, but we cannot live alone. No man of life will a steadfast break. The of strength, go out of it is too poor, too rich, too happy, or too miserable that he can scorn a friend. In happiness and sorrow, a friend is a common need. Thou art they brothers' keeper. Whatsoever thou doest unto thee my brethren, thou doest unto me. THE SACRIFICE SUPREME Barbara Iemi Strmid The cold, brisk December day was a contrast between the warmth of the sun and the chill of the bleak winter wind, both of which fought desperately to gain the favor of the day before nightfall. The Low Cloud family was gathered around the radio listening intently to the news being transmitted to them. Iohn Low Cloud, a Chippewa Indian, wore his straight black hair closely cropped. His beady, black eyes could meet any man's gaze. He had inherited the magnificent build of the wild, savage, red man of the old, picturesque West. Charles Roland, his foster-brother, was a white man in color, but in his heart he was an Indian. He had been adopted by Thunder Low Cloud when he wandered into his home one day by mistake. When Thunder learned that Charles was an orphan he induced him to call upon him every day to visit with him for several hours. A strong liking grew for the young boy and Thunder adopted him. Iohn and Charles had immediately become fast friends mid they became blood brothers according to Indian fashion. Charles had blonde hair that curled on his forehead, and sky-blue eyes that were usually twinkling and gay. His bronzed skin was as clear and smooth as o: child's. He also had developed the physique and muscular strength o-f the Indian for his foster .father had trained the two boys mercilessly in the feats of the savage tribes of long ago. A crisp, businesslike voice was relating the shocking news of the lap knife thrust in the back at Pearl Harbor. Slowly the eager listening faces around the radio changed expression. The cheeks turned pale, the gay eyes grew cold mid the laughing lips became grim lines across the once eager faces. Iohn and Charles rose swiftly, anad stalked angrily out of the house. When they returned to the living room, each of them bore fmt expression of grim determination on their faces. Even before they spoke, their father knew what they would say. He raised his hand in a gesture for silence mid placed a shaking palm on each of the boy's shoulders and spoke tremulously. Go, my sons, he signed, go and help to defeat this enemy of our lmid that is rising up to conquer us. May the Great Fat'her's blessing be with you. Though they were men, tears dimmed their eyes. In this moment, as their eyes met, a feeling of intense emo- tion gripped them. Abruptly the boys turned and leapt up the steps three at a time. Each sat down at his own desk and wrote to the Naval Recruiting Cffice. Ten min- utes later they left the house silently, arm in arm, to mail their letters to Uncle Sam. Two weeks had passed. Each day the boys watched eagerly for the mail and each day, after the postman had gone, a look of disappointment crossed their faces. ulohnnie, Charlie! They're here! They're! Here! Both boys knew what her words meant. Their hearts bounded with joy. After the excitement was over, a strange melancholy feeling enveloped them and they returned to their room to pack. They had an appoint- ment with Uncle Smn at 10:00 A. M. That evening the Low Clouds did not sleep but talked until the first rays of dawn crossed the sky and chased away the gloom of night. All too soon the moment of parting came. Thunder grasped each boy somewhat roughly by their shoulders and his arms trembled. Inside he felt cold and clammy and a loneliness came over him, but for the boys he must smile. One last handshake-one last goodbye-and his two sons were gone - - - gone to war and if the Great Father wished, they would both return to him another day when the world was at peace once more. Both boys finished their six months of Naval training and came through on the top-side . They were assigned to the U. S. S. FRISCO. On their last leave before shipping out, the boys decided to keep their parents ignorant o-f the fact that they were going overseas. Old Thunder was proud of his two boys. He talked of nothing but Iohnnie and Charlie all the while they were in training. Now that they were home he was prouder still to see how fine they looked in their sa'ilor's uniforms. Charlie was Chief Gunner and Iohnnie was classified as Gunner's Mate lfc on the same gun crew. As they said goodbye, Thunder recognized an unmis- takable expression in their eyes and a queer lurch of his heart told him they were going over and a strange inner voice seemed to tell him that he would never see his two boys alive again. Perhaps, he muttered, as he shrugged his shoulders, and a puzzled expression came upon his face as he waved to his sons. Indeed, he was proud of his two boys. He knew that even though Charlie was white, he could not have been bless-ed with a better red son. The train merged into the horizon mid old Thunder faltered with hesitating, uncertain steps as he left the station. He would fight with his boys, he knew, not on the field of battle but in his heart he would be with them wherever they were. He lifted his eyes to Heaven and prayed. O, good Father of man, please let my two sons come back to me--but if you want them for your own, I, their earthly father give them to you. But, Father, I pray, let nothing happen to them. The sailors were gathered on deck, hats off, in a farewell salute to America as they watched the Golden Gate fade out of sight. Tears filled the eyes of all of the men for many of them knew they would never see the good old U. S. A. again. On board ship, in the middle of nowhere, their com- manding officer told the crew that they were bound for Saipan in the South Pacific. The fellows off duty were lounging on deck. Suddenly aeroplane motors were heard in the distance. Out of the clouds three lap Tojos came into view. The air-raid signal whistled shrill notes throughout the ship and the voice on the radio said, Man your guns men! Three lap Tojos off starboard rght! A strange fear gripped Charlie mid Iohnnie at the words of the commanding officer, as they hurried to their battle station to man their gun. - The first plane left formation and attacked. Its bullets of death struck at the deck, wounding several men. The damned laps were strafing the ship! A righteous anger rose in Iohnnie cmd Charlie, and they fired cmd hit the diving ship whch burst nto flame and spun crazily downward until it hit the water with a splash and sunk. No. l, murmured Charlie triumphantly. His triumph was brief, however, for No. Z ship attacked and the bullets brought disaster for one of them hit Iohnnie, and he pitched forward on his face. Charlie manned the gun now with bitter hatred written in his every movement. His gay eyes were blazing with hate, his smile ban- ished, leaving cold, hard lines around the grim lips, his hand was covered with Iohnnie's blood and a clammy sweat stood out on his brow. He fired blindly as bitter tears stung his eyes. From the shouts of the men he knew that he had hit No. 2 Tojo. Then he became reckless. He raised Iohnnie in his arms, but the look in his eyes told Charlie that there was no hope. Charlie, whispered Iohnnie softly. Tell father . . with these words he fell back in Charlie's arms---dead. Charlie was in a daze. Only a few minutes ago Iohn- nie had been full of life. He had laughed and joked with his comrades and now he was a lifeless form in Charlie's arms. Tears rolled down Charlie's cheeks-unchecked, unashamed. Look out! Look out! The lap! The warning rung on deaf ears and the Iap machine gunner struck another target-this time Charlie. As the bullets struck him ia 'look of surprise crossed his face for a moment-then realization of what had hap- pened. He lurched forward and fell across Iohnnie's body. Then he rose with a tremendous effort and manned his gun for the last time. Enemy plane No. 3 burst into flame and landed on deck, setting the FRISCO on fire. Charlie's last effort had not been in vain. He smiled uncertainly as he fell dead across Iohnnie's lifeless body. The orders came to abandon the ship. The two sons' comrades found them side by side - - - dead. They removed their hats in salute to two brothers who had lived together, fought together, and died together. As a tribute to the two boys, their bodies were left on the deck, by their gun, and went down with their ship. Several weeks later a Naval officer visited the Indian reservation in Northern Wisconsin where old Thunder was smoking in the sun. He had two small boxes and a long envelope in his hand. When the officer handed him the envelope Thunder said, I cannot read. Will you please tell me what my boys have to say? The officer cleared his throat and replied gruffly, Sir, this is not from your sons, but a message from Uncle Sam. I regret to inform you that your two sons, john and Charles Low Cloud have been killed in action in service on the U. S. S. FRISCO on Iuly 4, l94Z. Thunder looked at the officer strangely as though he were not there. The officer knew that he was living in the past and he tapped him gently on the shoulder. I was called upon to see you personally for they died fighting beyond the call of duty and for their services the United States government presents to you these Purple Hearts. Thunder looked up and siged. The Great Father knows best, he said. The Naval officer knew that this was a signal for dismissal and he saluted Thunder and strode off. Old Thunder sat in the sun outside him home and his thoughts were far away. Iohn and Charles were calling to him and he wandered back into the forest of the past. Yes, he muttered again. The Great Father knows what is best for all men. Vfith these words he fell on his knees in prayer. As his consolation these words seemed to come from Heaven above: There is no greater love than this: that a man giveth up his life for his friends. Old Thunder knew that hs boys had fought together and died for each other and for their beloved country, and he was soothed. WAR WEARY WE Frieda Wood Have you ever felt guilty of being comfortable? Some- times as I lay in my nice warm bed at night thriving on little tidbits just devoured, I begin thinking. Am I really war conscious? Do I know the actual meaning of war? Yes, I realize there's a war raging against our United States and her Allies. I know I must do everything utterly possible to finish this world slaughter, to bring peace unto man, but war is still vague in my mind. I see its destructive hand on the returning soldier: movies portray the barren suffering earth blazed by war. I see malnutrition-wars' axis partner, in pictures of liber- ated people. But the world has always been portrayed to me as a striving soul. Of one man, unmindful of his brothers' fingers as he trods upon them to reach a higher rung of the ladder of life. Until the year my brother left for the service, I was leading quite a sheltered life. We were taught to help others, but war had just begun, and the only new problem at hand was scarcity of certain few items. I continued to go to school as before, my reaction neither ceased nor flourished, but stayed at its prewar pace, when-suddenly things changed. The price of a movie no longer suited my allowance, personals were taxed. My mother worked in a war plant and a queer, sinking feeling always raced across me as I read reports on missing or wounded boys. My friends went off to war. Carefree days slipped by without my good-bye. Street- cars were forced to load beyond the capacity limit. Small children were neglected, and could be found at late hours wandering streets. When I noticed these things I can't just exactly say. Who knows, under thick cells of blankness I may have the eyes to see and understand war. What life has continued in its prewar orbit? Mine is no exception. I had a 'happy childhood, I have expe- rienced all the whims of girlhood and now I have the opportunity of seeing life as others are forced to see it. Trials and tribulations, war has contributed to my life. Maybe a better understanding of my fellowman, also, but only time will prove that. WE MUST NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE Elaine Klamik Friendship. I wonder as this word races through my mind how many people really know the meaning of the word. Slowly I reach over, pick up the dictionary and look up the meaning. United with affection or esteem and good will. Now that I know what friendship is I should like to tell an incident that was not in the least bit friendly. I boarded the 35th Street bus on National. The time was about six o'clock and the bus was crowded with war workers going home. Near the back of the bus sat a good-looking chap with black wavy hair, tan com- plexion and he looked about nineteen years of age. Standing beside him was an elderly woman who just kept staring at this young man. The young man hap- pened to look up, he smiled and asked the elderly wo- man if she would like to sit down. The woman turned her face and in a high shrill voice answered, I would not accept a seat from a 4-F. The poor fellow's face turned a vivid red and he was very embarrassed for everyone turned around and starred at him. The woman told everyone that her son was in France and she Won- dered why this lad wasn't in service too. He seemed physically fit, why wasn't he in uniform? Her voice was so shrill people on the bus just couldnft help hearing what she was saying to this lad. He rang the bell. He reached for the steel bar in order to get up. As he rose we noticed that the right arm of his jacket dangled and hung empty. This lad who seemed so physically fit was missing an arm. The car stopped. The young veteran disappeared in the crowd. The haughty women sat staring in the distance. The people in the bus wondered what was passing through her mind. More boys will be coming home a.nd are we going to treat them as this woman did or me we going to be friendly and considerate? Our boys are fighting for the American way of life and I believe they know the mean- ing of 'friendship and tolerance. Do We? THE MEANING OF A STAR Eleanore Masshardt Have you ever noticed the service flags in a window of almost every house? I have. Many times as I walk to work I count the number of stars in windows on either side of the street. There are blue, silver, and gold stars. The blue tells us that there is some relative in the ser- vice: the silver star shows that someone is overseas: and the gold star which puts a lump in my throat, a tear in my eye, and an extra beat in my heart, signifies that someone in the family has died fighting for our country cmd us. Why are there so many windows with stars in them? Do you know? Does anyone know? Our boys have ideas why they are sacrificing their lives. They are dying for us. They are fighting to keep our Democratic Govern- ment alive so that the people of America may remain free peo-ple. By picking up a newspaper mid reading the headlines you get an idea of the hardships mid turmoil which our boys are enduring to keep us safe and happy. By listening to a war correspondent or looking at drawings or photos you get a better idea of what the soldiers and marines-our boys, are going through. Thus a star in ia window begins to draw a meaning in our hearts. The gallantry and bravery which our boys mirror should stand out like a monument in the heart of every American. In many homes, a gold stm' has taken the place of a blue or silver star. May we be touched with sincere sympathy and may we hope and pray that the future of America, which the boys have struggled and given up their lives for, be filled with liberty and peace, so that 'our boys may be richly rewarded for their sac- rifices. Some homes have a flag in the window with as many as five stars on it. Let's all hope that those stars will remain blue or silver stars and that the boys may come home after this horrible nightmare alive and well. GOD BLESS THEM ALL. WHAT IS MY WORLD COMING TO? Lucille Krueger As I sit in the peaceful atmosphere of our cozy living room, listening to the music that is issuing from the radio at my elbow, my muddled mind wanders back to the days when war to me was just a vague something lingering in the faraway. It surprised me to find how far back I had to reminisce to reach this point. Do I know what life is without war? No-I don't think so. Why the farthest I can see back clearly is to the time I was a sixth grader, and even then I recall that the war between China and Iapan was under dis- cussion. If only war, the ugly monster of civilization, could have stayed that far away: but, no, each succes- sive year brought it closer mid closer until now it, through its horrors and problems, dominated directly or indirectly every life surrounding and including mine. I look back at the time I laughed under my breath in a freshman class because the teacher predicted that the majority of us would be working part-time within a year. She even went so far as to discuss the likelihood of a labor draft. I, in my adolescence ignorance, couldn't believe. Now as I read of the War Labor Boa:rd's doings I experience a prick of memory. Yes, the labor draft has materialized: but the more bitter pill to take is that which I see when a teacher asks of the girls in any gathering how many work, and three-fourths raise their hands. How deep this wound is burrowed as I stare at my-yes, my hand among those upraised. I've grown in these last two years, a little in body: but ever so much in mind. Now with my war-developed mind I ask myself, What is a normal life? Has anyone ever experienced one? In the world, our nation, our city, there is always present a state of either depression or prosperity. I regret, truthfully and with all my heart, that I was brought up in a time of prosperity. Every- thing has come too easy. Clothes, money mid finally jobs have been served to me on a silver plate. Despite my training mid my own sense of right and wrong, war has left its stain upon my character in the form of care- less regard for elders, parents, teachers and employers: possibly I can include the law. What else has the war done to me? Frmikly, I'm afraid to analyze: I only hope and pray. ESSENTIAL! DESTRUCTION OF INTOLERANCE Shirley Tarte I am intolerant of intolerant people: odd as this may sound. I believe that many young people of today have the same feeling about intolerant -people. I believe that I can safely say that mmiy young men and women who, before this war, were intolerant merely because their family mid friends were, will come home from battle with all intolerance destroyed because they will have shared pain, anxiety, lonliness, and fear with men of varied religions, colors, and places in society. They have seen men, Whether they be Negro, Indian, Mexican, Iewish, or Iapanese American, Catholic or Protestant, poor or wealthy, give parts of their bodies and minds, and even their lives for a better world in which intoler- ance will have no part except as an ugly enemy to be quickly demolished. It is up to the young people, future mothers and fathers, not only to try and kill this enemy in ourselves, families, -and friends, but to make certain that our chil- dren never taste the bitter seed of intolerance which, too quickly, grows to be a horrid, pitiless snake that strikes its helpless victims without concern of the harm it can do. This deadly enemy must be demolished soon: and we must destroy our own and others' intolerances. VOICES IN SOLITUDE Ioyce Cain These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as We enter into the world, writes Emerson. How very true! That which we call the soul is constantly dreaming--looking forward, but the mind will forget the imaginings of the soul in mi effort to be practical. The mind will argue against the soul and be an imitator, while the soul strives for indi- viduality. To forget the conventions and boundaries of others, to look upon life with an open mind, to feel that nothing, however great, is impossible to attempt, is to have gained true spiritual freedom. It is an ancient trick of the critics of every profession to keep the true artist bound by the shackles of tradition. Surely we cmi and must' profit by the experiences of the masters, but why copy their works? Nearly every great man or woman became great by attempting that which the world considered foolish or impossible. While we may all begin from the same basic foundation, why not let the soul be tree to reach out, to erect its own super- structure, to grasp and hold that for which it has strug- gled so long in vain? How often, in the early morning, has a person, half awakened, lain in bed, quietly allowing the soul to drift, beyond reason, into dreams in which the mind seems to have no pmt. Then, rising, he leaves the visions of the soul within the solitude of his room, and they grow dim and fade as the cares of the world press upon him. Only God knows how much good they might have done the man mid the rest of humanity, had those dreams been allowed to crystalize. DANCING Christine Segal My appendix having been recently taken out, I de- cided to renew my acquaintance with the dance floor. Having survived the .tedious ride of the city's transpor- tation vehicles, I found myself in the familiar hall of my old hangouta. But as I entered the spacious room the familiarity vanished. The blast of music which greeted me was enough to blow one clear out the door again. The very floor resounded with the blaring notes. I had barely recovered my shock from this when I felt a tarte tug at my arm and a lound boistrous inquiry of- May I borrow your frame for this struggle? Before I could reply to the negative or the affirmative, I was out on the middle of the dance floor struggling to stay on my own two feet, but not so easily done. I found that my feet just wouldn't cooperate with the rest of my body and vainly tried to stay with my partner and keep from going off at a tangent. At times I found myself gazing lovingly at the one part of the floor we seemed to have a mortgage on and at times I found myself swinging on the chandalier. I felt like a rubber ball that somebody was trying to get too much bounce out of. Occasionally I heard a faint hello in my direction, but being swung around at that most inopportune moment: I could not reply. In that breathtaking swing-by sheer force of my partner I decided to open my eyes and see this thing through with flying colors, well-anyway flying. I had just time to duck out of the way of a misled elbow when I came in sharp contact with somebody's leg. Through my bleary eyes I could see heads, arms, and legs flying about but could never attach them to one person. I thought my sanity had passed away when the jazz num- ber ended with a final profusion off notes. As my partner left me utterly exhausted on the side line with a thanks for the scramble I tried hard not to collapse. I looked down to see if my le-gs were still there, and finding them there I speedily used them to the best of my ability to escape that flying mess of hu- man contortionists.

And now for our story ------ FAIRYLAND Ioyce Potrykus When I speak of Fairyland , I mean winter fairyland, a dreamed of place that only nature can produce. Yes, nature produces a Winter Wonderland each year, and each year it is more beautiful than ever before. Each year I am queen of this beautiful place. For really, that's how I feel when I wear my white, bunny-fur trimmed, skating outfit. Whenever it is possible, I go skating, often for hours at a time, fl am writing this in a child's manner because only a child's words can ex- press partially the true beauty of winter.I Gliding along on newly sharpened skates, gives me a feeling of light- ness, superiority to other human-beings, and I feel like a bird, who has newly found its wings. I imagine all skaters have had such a feeling at some time or other, but none have felt it so strongly as I. No one but a skater knows of this feeling of physical beauty that nature gives you with her rosy glow wherever she may touch you, this feeling of fleetness and grace, has to be personally experienced. I always go skating on a lagoon where nature's ma- jestic glow surrounds me. The silvery icicles on trees and bushes, the sparkling, eye-catching white of the newly fallen snow, is more than enough to take one's breath away. Have you, too, caught the feeling I have? There is no other like it!!! MY ATTITUDE Lucille Krueger A chip on my shoulder, my head in the air, My work never done-do I give a care. My wandering mind never present in class Brings many a trouble to a dreamy lass. My hair up in pin curls, I burst in the room, I leisurely stroll when the time said to zoom. When things go wrong, the teacher's to blame, For, I'm a senior, is my claim. TATTLE TALE HEART Marion Budish I told my foolish heart a secret As silly people often do, In confidence I told my heart How much it is that I love you. But, my heart is tattle tale It let the secret through, For how else could my eyes Have given it away to you. WIND Evelyn Basile The singing, whirling, whistling wind Sways and dances along its way. It plays and lingers here and there Like a school-boy off for the day. Mischief leads its every move, With each windy gust This saucy imp then tosses skirts, and Fills the eyes with roadside dust. It searches the earth quite thoroughly In hope of some good joke to play, It steals men's hats, and then begins A jolly game of keep-away. DREAMS Audrey Mae Schmidt l've often dream't of showy things That glitter, glimmer, in the light, But when my heart with rapture sings It comes from beholding a simple sight. A babe when a halo of sun is thrown Around his curly tressesg Or when at night the moon has shown, The beauty of the trees' green dresses. The love for a man in a girl's bright eye Shows us the meaning of living: The flowers that shout Summer is nigh g The wondrous sensation of giving. There are many more which I could state, But I'm sure you know the feeling: Head in the clouds, the stars as your mate, Your senses all go a-reeling. I've often dream't of showy things That glitter, glimmer, in the sun, But the simple thing, has a truer ring After all is said, and all is done. LIFE'S PATH Ruth Marquardt The path goes on for miles and miles With flowers strewn around, But here and there amongst the stiles A group of weeds is found. So life goes on for years and years Filled with joy and pleasures, But sorrow comes and interferes With our beloved treasures. IEANNE Doris Calliari My little sister is tiny, And talks, oh, so sweet, When l bring friends home, Those I want her to meet, She chatters like a magpie, They think she's mighty cute, Not only is she friendly, She is a little beaut. HIS NAME IS BILL Mary Panos His name is Bill, I want you to know, That he is mine, And I love him so. This boy I love, Was sent out to sea, I think of him, As he thinks of me. I dream of him, All through the night, And hope and pray, That he's all right, Someday I know We'll meet again, And I'll wait For him, till then. A LAND OF DREAMS Eileen Hartwig On a warm spring eve when shadows fall And the golden sun has set, I sit alone While nightbirds call, When the stars and the moon have met. I see the visions of valleys green, Of hillsides dotted with flowersg Of shamrocks with their dewy sheen So fragrant with light spring showers. Oh God, I would that Ireland, A land so fair and free, Be saved from war's destructive hand And free forever be. Oh, take that land of visions and dreams, To reign on high 'mid heavenly beams. FOUR LONG YEARS IN A NUTSHELL Esther Kionka I'm a poor little freshie A'wandering around, Wondering where meetings cmd lunch rooms are found But ending up back in the same old place- Right where I started from What a disgrace! Now I'm called sophomore And getting along Doing my homework and singin' a song. Getting more used to school Day by day, Up and down stairways In everyone's way. Third year - a junior Gee! I feel great. Got a good record, too - Never been late. Concerts and dances, school shows and plays, I seem to be walking around in a daze. Dazed I was last year, But who am I now? Why I'm a senior May I take a bow? To think I'll be getting that long strived for thing, What joy a little diploma can bring. SPRING IS HERE Iessie Birmingham Heavy coats are hung out to air, Winter woolens are put away with CCITS, Shopping tours are under way To get new togs for work and play. Paint is bought in quantities galore To retouch the rooms that were painted before, People are busy in their gardens all day Planting flowers to take the gloom away, Snow is melting fast away As the sun shines brightly through the whole day. The birds chirp gayly as they build their nests, Bears wake up from long winter rests. What can be the cause of such gayety and cheer? That's right, you guessed it- Spring is here. BEETHOVEN, BACH - AND BOOGIE La Verne Orzechowski In days of yore, 'twas always wisely said To students of the finer arts and music, If e'er you wish to learn and get ahead, Before you start, first lecan the masters' trick. The minuet, the waltzes are immortal, Learn pizzicato, grace notes study well. But before you enter music's lovely portal, Iust listen to the story I must tell. Though the lullabye of Brahms is very charming And Chopin's nocturnes delicate and sweet, The music that to me is most disarming, Is the bass note of a solid boogie beat. Favorites? These are my three Beethoven, Bach - and Boogie. TWO WORDS - FOUR YEARS La Verne Orzechowski Hail Tech! Strcmge words to one so new, Quite fresh from grade school, bewildered too. Hail Tech! I'm learning very fast, Courtesy, honor-a year has passed. Hail Tech! New friends, parties galore, Football, clubs, more fun in store. Hail Tech!
