ELMER STONE Phyllis Soukup and Elmer Stone were named Valedictorian and Salutatorian oi the Senior Class of 1949. These honors are determined by the student's average over a period of seven semesters in high school. Phyllis completed thiswork with an average of 93.75, while Elmer attained 92.85. Phyllis transferred from Lyons Township High School at the beginning ot her junior year and almost immediately she proved her ability as a leader in school work. She was elected class treasurer and a cheerleader soon after her arrival. She was an active member of many other school organizations. Elmer, too, is one of our leaders. He served as the senior representative to the Student Council, managed the football and basketball teams, participated in the senior play, Sen- tor Prom , and was a sport's writer for the Rambling Ram. He is the first boy to attain such a scholastic honor in the history of G.C.H.S. The Valedictorian in 1948 was Connie Sheldon, and the Salutatorian was Aillen Devine. Both are now in college furthering their educations in the fields they hope to enter. Seniors elected into the National Honor Society in 1948 were Harold Grutzmacher, the first boy in our chapter, Marilyn Hook, who also was awarded the American Legion Award along with Harold. The Iuniors, were Elmer Stone, Sherley Giernoth, and Marilyn Yopp. Early last tall three members of the Class of '49 were chosen, they were Nancy Laird, Phyllis Soukup, Barbara Brawley, and Clara Hertel. The new Iunior members were chosen at the annual Honor's Night program. gonttact Zffets Office M anaqer Contractor . . S ub-Contractor . Finance Department . Personnel . . Unions. .

Rouse 'Our appreciation goes to the five men who have made our school what it is. They have attended school functions, visited during school hours, have given untold time and effort toward improving school standards, and have given our school the reputation we are proud of. They have made it possible for a good deal of landscaping to be done, and they have added new and needed equip- ment. Our principal, Mr. Rouse, 'has been with our school since its first year in action. He started as a teacher and assistant principal. With the departure of Mr. Iohnson, he was selected principal of G.C.H.S. The students Want to thank you, Mr. Rouse, for giving us advice, helping us out of dif- ficulties, making our school run smoothly, and for all the other services you have given us in order to help us realize our responsibili- ties. We are proud to have you for our prin- cipal and want you to know that we think you are doing a fine job. Mr. Rich, Mr. Gleason, and Mr. Kirchner were members who helped bring about the erection of this building. They, together with two new members, Mr. Chard and Mr. Par- ker, constitute the Board of Education, Grays' lake Community High School.

They are the third group to be brought forth unto society since the conception of the school. Having entered Grayslake as sophomores in 1946, the 49ers had their freshmen training from surrounding schools. Well remembered by this class is their first year at Grayslake. Since the school was not yet completed, it was necesary, for the first two months, to hold classes throughout World Here We Come President . . . Peggie Kellogg Vice-President . Robert Spaulding Secretary . . . . lean Iarc Treasurer . . . Richard Smith the town in homes, churches, and civic buildings. As juniors, they were the first to undertake such activities as breaking in our new stage with the successful play, Murder in Re- hearsal , and the annual promenade in the gymnasium, with the court for the Prom Queen. Also, at the first homecoming pa- rade, the class float won second prize' and has retained the trophy ever since. We wish the' best of happiness and success to our seniors. They stand before their blue and white background to face the future. We hope it holds many new and rich experiences to add to those already acquired at G.C.H.S.

That job was interesting especially when they had to clean out every store in town for hot dog buns. lust ask Pat Nelson.

Charles Tonies Their class play, The Daffy Dills , under the splendid direction of Miss Iacob, was presented early in November. It was one of the best plays in the history of G.C.H.S. Another big spot was the receipt of their class rings. Mr. and Mrs. Alleman, their class sponsors, were constantly being pes- tered about their arrival. The climax of this eventful year was their PROM. Iuniors were seen standing around in groups talking, but dead silence came over them when anyone outside the class approached. The theme was Smooth Sail- ing . In only a few hours the gym was transformed into all the grandeur of a lux- ury liner. uniot pfay ancf prom ,. 0 - . .. Q' E Q- . r..,mf V , Y C- , S' I.

For the second consecutive year this class placed first in the float contest. The theme for their reproduction of G.C.H.S. was The Home of the Grayslake Rams . In this class lies plenty of talent in every field of endeavor. When they send a class- mate to try out for a play or take part in an athletic or scholastic event, a good perform- ance is always given.

Support first class, that is what these girls offer. All for one and one for alll! Not just anyone can belong to it either. You must be voted in by the past members at the beginning of the year. However, we have never known anyone who was not able to join the club because of this. The president must be a senior, the vice-president, a junior, the secre- tary, a sophomore, and the treasurer, a freshman. If you are absent at two games in a row, without an excuse, you are automatically dropped from the club. The girls usualy dress in green and white.

These were the members of the Radio Club. They are a large group of actors, writers, directors, and pro- ducers, all students of G.C.H.S. Since this is an PM station and only a few people had FM radios the school was open every Wednesday night at seven o'clock so that all could hear the broad- CCISTS.

What is the F.H.A. anyway? A Whyl it's the Future Homemakers of America. It's made up of home economic students, past and present, who join this progressive club to further their knowledge and horizons for better homes for the future. The F.H.A. is a national organization. Each state is divided into sections. Grayslake is a member of section twenty, of which Sher- ley Giernoth had the privilege of serving as president in 1948. paffy pay One day of each year is set aside as a Rally Day for the members of the various districts. This year the F.H.A. Rally Day was held at our fair school, and it was a huge success. The all day affair was started by showing the guests our school. This was followed by a mass business meeting, skits given by the girls from every school, games, discussions, dancing, contests and finally food. 54 lts motto isp toward new horizons , there- fore the purpose of the organization is to promote an appreciation of the satisfactions of homemaking and to work for good home and family life. Our chapter is sponsored by our home economics teacher, Mrs. In- wood. These gals really will know how to run the homes of future America.

This year's band under the leadership of Mr. Laine consisted of forty-five members. There were two sections to the band. One part was the main band and the other, the Pep Band. During the past year these students had something extra special to work tor. They are earning letters. These were earned by hard work, which meant a lot of practic- ing, playing solos, playing for the community, and hav- ing a good attendance at band meetings. There were no set amount oi points to be earned this year: but Mr. Laine selected those who had the highest number ot points by the deadline. The Pep Band consisted of honor players. Usually they were the more advanced players. They played at games and did a fine job ot boosting our morale when it needed it most. In short they played on through victory and de- feat. There were twenty members in this band. The main band accomplished many things in the past nine months. Its iirst concert of the year was the Christ- mas Concert, which told the Christmas Story set to music. Emery Mollenhauer was the narrator for the program. On March twenty-six both the band and chorus at- tended a music contest at Elgin, Illinois. Here they really shined. Metals galore were brought home to the corridors ot G.C.H.S. Seven of these music students received iirst place honors, and they were thus eligible to compete in the statewide contest. In the Spring Concert, both high school and grammer school, combined their talents. 37 Music Meastro Please! fhazua Row l: Sullivan, Ruther, St. Sauveur, Miller, Ford, Drazine, Nelson.

These girls, also under the spendid direction of Mr. Laine, added the words to the music of G.C.H.S. Chorus was divided into three sections, first soprano, second soprano, and alto. The girls spent most of their time on three part compo- sitions, made up of Negro spirituals, semi- classical, and modern songs. Two ensembles from this group attended the Sectional Music Contest at Elgin. The Senior Girls' ensemble including Barbara Brawley, Pearl Miller, Gloria Schaeffer, Patricia Borne, lean Iarc, Francenia Bell, Nancy Graf, and Kathleen Metthesy placed second in their di- vision. Phyllis Drazine, Iackie Kacprowicz, Sharon Lindgren, Diane Smith, Muriel Metzer, Marjeane McKechnie, Patricia Erickson, and Marie Ann Persson were in the Freshmen Girls' ensemble which placed third. Barbara Brawley won first place in the voice solo division. Roberta Birong, who is the chorus accompanist, also took first place with her piano solo.

Sequoits are tired, and Younger intercepted a pass and two plays later Grant scored on an end run. Spaulding kicked the extra point. This was a good start for the season. WOODSTOCK 7 . . GRAYSLAKE O Rams play their first conference football game at Woodstock. Neither team showed much power. Both teams battled the other to a standstill until with only three minutes left in the game Woodstock tried the Statue of Liberty play with the halfback scamp- ering to the 2 yd. marker. On the next play Miller scored. Grayslake's defense was sparked by Staples and Younger and the attack led by Schalk and Spaulding. CRYSTAL LAKE 26 . . GRAYSLAKE 7 An orange wave swamped our boys. Crystal Lake scored first on a quarter back sneak. The kick was good. They recov- ered a fumble and scored again on a pass. G.C.H.S. received again, and on the next few plays Schalk and Spaulding knifed their way to mid-field where Schalk broke away for 27 yards and again for 10. The Tigers' defense stiffened and held the Rams for four downs. The Tigers scored again on a long drive. Then in the second half both sides scored. Three Rams were in- jured in this battle: Al Peterson, Bob Spaul- ding, and Wally Booker. LIBERTYVILLE 12 . . GRAYSLAKE 6 This game was Grayslake's Second An- nual Homecorning. Neither team could manage to get deep into the other's terri- tory. Near the end of the half the Wildcats scored but missed the extra point. During the third quarter Schalk and Bengson ground out a touchdown, with Schalk scor- ing. In the last period scored in just ten plays: the extra point was good. Grays- lake made a gallant attempt in the last few minutes, but were stopped. Bauer's great defensive play and the beautiful running of Schalk were the highlights of the game. GRAYSLAKE 32 .... Ela 13 Ela's second football game ever played. The Rams scored four plays after the kick- off on a Hitzman to Stickels pass. When G.C.H.S. got their hands on the ball again, they scored via the same route of the pre- vious two T.D.'s. We scored again on a pass to Dorfler. In the second half with the Grayslake reserves playing, the Bears managed to push across two touchdowns, while the Rams scored on a Smith to Hitz- man pass. WARREN 19 . . . GRAYSLAKE 6 Warren's highly touted Blue Devils visited the Rams. Warren immediately marched to a touchdown with Turner go- ing over on a quarterback hand-off. ln the second quarter, DeLoof scored on a line plunge. The Blue Devils scored once again when Grayslake missed a great scoring chance. With four minutes remain- ing the Rams scored on a Hitzman to Stickels pass. With a minute left, Hitzman intercepted a pass and brought the ball to rest on the 30 yard marker. ZION-BENTON 14 . . GRAYSLAKE 13 The Zee-Bees entertained the invading Rams. The Rams scored on the first play, a sleeper , with Smith tossing a pass to Hitzman who ran down the sidelines and scored with two Zee-Bees in pursuit. The try for the extra point was not good. After the kickoff, the Zee-Bees scored their first touchdown on a pass from Ridenour to Yonke. Grayslake scored again the sec- ond quarter and led at halftime 12 to 7. ln the fourth quarter Zion managed to push across another T.D. This game was by far the hardest fought of the season. LAKE FOREST 12 . . GRAYSLAKE 7 An exchange of punts in the first quarter showed neither had too much power. ln the second quarter Grayslake started to go for a touchdown, but the clock ran out. In the second half the Scouts took over and McGowan scored on a line plunge. After the kickoff the Rams released their little- used aerial assault and scored five plays later. Then Lake Forest scored their last T.D. on a sustained drive with McGowan scoring. ln the fourth quarter Campbell in- tercepted a pass and broke up a Lake Forest drive.

The pitching staff was composed of Burke, Peter- son, and Quaadman. The infield was corn- posed entirely of lettermen with Stickels at first, Schalk at second, and Dorfler at third: the shortstop position was taken over by Shorty Grant. In the outfield Captain Smith patroled the center field greens, with Young- er in left. 51 Batter Up! fehind the .fcenes These are the men who put the teams together.

Who can tell! The Girls' Athletic Asssociation is open to any girl attending G.C.H.S. Ten points are received for every practice attended, when eighty points are obtained in one sport, you may receive an award: therefore offi- cially belonging to the club. The state gives the award to every girl who is a member and has gotten credit for a team activity, along with the required number of points, ranging from 350 to 500. It's work and play that we all enjoy, run- ninq. jumping, throwing, and throwing. GAA is also for the purpose of building good 2 fellowship. It's a wonderful sort of recreation and also a way for timid or new girls to meet one another to form friendships. Sports- manship is learned and much mental re- laxation and variety has been provided by it. Many a superwoman has originated for these twice a week get-togethers. New members to GAA are welcomed in by activities in the gym and refreshments afterwards. Elgin Play Day, October second, no one could ever forget that Saturday, we piled on the bus and headed for Elgin High School, where we met G.A.A. members from many other schools. They had relay races and volleyball, which was followed by -refresh- ments and group singing. Did you hear all the buzzing and whisper- ing in the halls on Monday, February twen- ty-eighth. Well that was the day of the GAA Banquet. Games were played, a movie was shown, and then dinner was served , Yum- mm!! The girls hope to make the banquet a yearly event. Here's hopin'. Mrlleyball Next came volleyball with Clara Heftel directing. Screams and shouts came bel- lowing out of the gym on the usual Mon- days and Fridays. Every girl loved vol- leyball and some seemed to be quite pro at it. It took awhile before we caught on to spiking, setting up, etc., but once we accomplished it we were ex- perts. Teams were chosen and we played class tournaments. Tfzm 6071? At the beginning of the year, sport's heads were voted in by the club, and Tumbling was our first indoor sport with Virginia Hanson in charge. Some knew all there was to know, others, well, they tried. There were some backbreaking ex- periences but 'twas all fun. lt ranged from backbends, headstands, summer saults and flips to walkovers, dives and pyra- mids, fadfetfaff Sore wrists, black eyes, scratched faces, bent fingers, think nothing of it, basketball season has begun. We were all brushing up so we could play varsity for coach. Ila Iane Vanderspool directed the choos- ing of six teams which picked captains and names. Georgettes, De Feet Less, Hot Rods and more. Many a time we got con- fused with traveling , jump ball , 'foul , etc., but it was joyful and we all hated to See the season end. Some preferred to ref so they got their wish. .Y 00021 Soccer was played outside in our future field. Many people limped around with black and blue marks on their shins for weeks, but it was nice to get outside after school and tear around. fasehtff When it wasn't too muddy, baseball prevailed. There were slides which caus- ed scratches, and bruises but on the whole, we loved the chance to stretch our weary bones after a slow day in school. It you had happened to be one ot the untortunates who did have an accident, the umpire job was always open and there was no time like the present to learn. faofmin ton ls it a Bird? ls it a Plane?

There were speeches and cheers. As tthe fire died, the snake dance began winding through the town and ending at the high school, where entertain- ment was provided by the Freshmen Initiation in the gym. Then came the BIG DAY. There were floats of all types and appearances in a huge parade led by the band and twirlers. The high spot of the afternoon was the game with Libertyville. We lost the game 13-7, but the Rams looked very good and everyone of them played a hard, clean game. The HOMECOMING dance featured Don Adam's orchestra and some super decorations. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the HOMECOMING QUEEN, Connie Richards, by the Captain of the team, Iim Burke. The Queen's black dress was set off by a crown of white gladiolas, making her the attraction of the evening. At eleven-thirty the dance ended and HOMECOMING was over for another year. 58 fteppin' out .Vnw Ka!! The seniors gave their annual Christmas dance on the evening before the holiday vacation began. It was-the first class dance of the year. Since it was the only formal of the year to which underclassmen were admitted, they were urged to come, so that they would be somewhat prepared for PROMS of the future. The gym was decorated with a crepe paper wall of light blue, on which hundreds of silver snowflakes were scattered. The band was set in a beautiful white snow- bank. ln the center of the floor stood a majestic white spruce. The punch table, covered with tiers of ruffled white crepe paper was also covered with snowflakes. Everyone was at their best, the girls in foamy gowns and the boys in tux or dark business suits. They danced to the music of Ed Schultz' band, and listened to Robert Anderson, a very, very talented vocalist who provided the entertainment. .QE pat '1 pence Although the sopho- mores didn't clear anything on their dance they provided a very enjoyable eve- ning for all. During the intermission the participants were served cookies and punch from a sham- rock decorated table. .qmootl .qaifbrg Absolutely the biggest night of the year: the annual IUNIOR PROM. With dreams of tropical isles juniors and seniors, along with their dates entered via a gangplank onto what appeared to be the deck of a ship. There were rope railings all the way around the dance floor. A fantastic sailboat was standing in the middle of the floor. The band was simply wonderful, and the refreshments were out of this world. All these things combined with wonderful en- tertainment made it an evening that shall never be forgotten. The seniors extend their thanks to the juniors for making the biggest event of the year the biggest success of the year. uniot pfay , I I 1 i Tie purify piffs Under the direction of Miss Mary lane Iacobs, the juniors gave their interpretation of The Daffy Di11s , a merry comedy in three acts. It was the story of a Missouri family and their unwanted step-mother. It all turned out well, however, and the Dills learned their lesson. When the step-mother turned out to be the unseen cousin, and the cousin turned out to be the wonderful loving step-mother. Marge Kipp, was the sweet but lazy grand- mother. Doris and Dudley Dill the thirteen year old twins were played by Connie Rich- ards and lack Clemens, Carol Dill was Shirley Iones, Rodney Dill, Chuck Tonies, Richard Dill, Don Brown, Ainica Iukes, the colored maid was Yvonne St. Sauveur. A neighbor the widow Woggles, Edith Wagner, Amie Lovewell, Iune Morehead, Pete Mor- ton, Bob Harvey, Elaine Escott, the real cousin, Pat Nelson, and Cousin Maud, their new step-mother really, was Kathleen Matthes. Directing, acting, scenery, and lighting were all up to par. Everything about the play added to its success. 60 'si-. it E eniot pfay if .fleniot prom This year the senior class presented a youthful comedy in three acts, SENIOR PROM. The plot involved Rheta Markland, a young society deb of Phoenixville, who thought she was the cat's meow. The part was played by Topsy Bell. Ierrie Franklin and Martha Stanley, two girls high in the scale of society were portrayed by Charlyne Pecore and Gloria Schaeffer. Greta Taylor, a fanatic on clothes who thought everything was just too too something or other was played by Phyllis Soukup. Aunt Fanny was played by Sherley Giernoth. PeqQY Kellogg as Susan Graner showed that even a farm- er's daughter can snub right back at all the socialites. Ioyce Harding, Delores Stang, was one of the more humane girls in the play. Other characters were Clara l-lertel, a bank clerk, who was a large factor in finding some stolen bonds, and the young sons of Phoenixville, Elmer Stone as Carl Blackwood, Robert Spaulding as Phillip An- drew, Ed Younger as Stephen, and Donn Getchell as led Daniel a young radio ac- companist. Miss Iacob's direction of this play was very excellent. This play had a little mystery, a bit of suspense, a big dose of love and lots of laughs.

Lfhzs year as in the past members of the EMERALD staff ha-ve worked hard to make this year's book the best, yet. They used their originality in writ- ing and making up the book. Their chief purpose was to please you. To our sponsors, the students, faculty, administra- tion, School board, and many others, too numerous to mention, we owe a great deal. For they are part of the world about which the EMERALD refvolfoes. They are the spirit and life of the book. Many of them are not pictured within this cofoer. They helped either financially or by donating their serfoices. Some of them were our folks, others were the neighbors who set out papers to be collected in the paper dri-ve. Now we are finished, the book is closed for another year. In its pages you have seen the past, yet the future was always in sight. Look for it!
