The 1952 Little Giant of Highland Park High School Highland Park, Illinois Editorial Board Don Durland, Lois Limberg Bernice Okey Senior Editors Ann Curtis, Joanne Holden Activities Editors Grace Ritow, Barbara Stupple School Life Editors Joan Cederborg, Lois Limberg Bernice Okey Sports Editors Don Durland, Zana Willison Business Manager Jacqueline Hawley These arc the buildings where the teen- agers of the community have the opportunity to prepare themselves for a better life. The class which began in September, 1900 was the first to graduate from Highland Park high school. The school then consisted of one main building. Shields hall. In 1915 the gym building was built, and it housed “one of the finest swimming pools in the state, according to published reports. Later, an Industrial Arts building was con- structed; East hall, and the power plants also were built. Then came the auditorium, com- pleted in 1926, and the Sandwick hall, con- structed in 1930. The field house, erected later, was planned and built by the building trades classes. Before you is the physical plant of High- land Park high school. Much of it is old and outmoded, but it is not the buildings alone that makes the school; rather it is the spirit and life, and the pleasant memories which these structures hold. ion. ■ ■ Senior Editors Ann Curtis (left) and Jo- anne Holden looked at and signed pink passes this year until they were seeing them in their sleep. To enable the picture taking to run smooth- ly, the girls arranged an appointment for each senior, which of course couldn't be done with- out first checking and rechecking his schedule carefully. Pink passes then made their appearance, for in just a few days Ann and Joanne made out and signed hundreds of them. Notices and ballots were typed up, mimeo- graphed, and distributed to the sessions and the girls spent many afternoons literally get- ting acquainted with every member of the class and his activities. We Efiatuc ltt the GIgAA OjjficenAf SpxwAoAA... The Senior year is always a busy one, and this year was no cxcep- tion. Things were happening every minute. First event was the Little Giant subscription campaign in October. A committee was organized by the Executive board to campaign throughout the sessions. This campaign was a success due to the fact that 85 percent of the student body bought yearbooks. Student stunts was another means of financing the annual. This year more tickets were sold than ever before for a stunts production. Some 1400 people at- tended, packed the auditorium, and the general opinion of the student body was that “it was an excellent show. Individual pictures of Seniors were taken in mid-November for the yearbook. After that there was a continual “snapping of shutters catching Seniors participating in various activities. February was the month of the Senior hop, or the Cotton Ball. The theme of this dance was a Mardi Gras. The gym was decorated in many bright colors representing a true southern carnival. In January the board sponsored the sale of invitations, announce- ments, and calling cards for graduation. A month or two later. Seniors were measured for caps and gowns, and marching for the glorious day began in May. Graduation took place on June 11.

What Would Jlapupjou 9I?... Jill Schram ran out of cigarettes. Bob George kept growing. Mrs. Spalding ran out of pink passes. We had locker inspection every week. Mr. Slocum pronounced all of our name: correctly. Miss Marquardt was pleased yjth a play rehearsal. Mike Bass got lock-jaw. Miss Lasswcll ran out of aspirin. Mr. Einbcckcr lost his voice on the first day of school. 16 Clubs and how they function became one of the chief concerns of the Activity editors. Barbara Stupplc (left) and Grace Ritow. Barbara and Grace found that the Book of Counsel, a book which gives information for assembling a yearbook, was almost as useful as another pair of hands. It guided them in proportioning pictures to the right sizes, and also in giving ideas for new layouts. Upon investigation, the girls were surprised to find that there arc as many as 25 organiza- lions in Highland Park high school, each hav- ing it's own personality. If one has any ques- tions about clubs and doesn’t know the in- formation. ask Barbara and Grace; they be- came well acquainted with all the organiza- tions. . 17 . Student Qouetinment “The meeting will now come to order, the president, Russ Whitney, echoes this phrase to the eight seniors, four juniors, and •46 session members who comprise the Student council of Highland Park high school. The entire council meets Wednesday morning, every other week. The Executive board alone gets together ninth period each day. If a charter of this backbone” organisa- tion were drawn up, it might be set up in this way: Purposes and Aims 1. It shall be the purpose of Student coun- cil to promote school spirit and co-operation between faculty and students. 2. To make house rules governing the con- duct of students to show them the need of these rules and see that they arc carried out. 3. It shall be the purpose of Student coun- cil to also promote, encourage, and co-ordi- nate student activities. Duties of Organization 1. To co-operate with faculty on fire drills. 2. To sponsor and grant constitutions to all student clubs and organizations. The council this year sponsored various activities. One of the first items was the Turnabout Dance, held Dee. 8. This year the theme was chosen through a contest, and Nancy Smalley, senior, won with her idea Winter mezzo. As is traditional, the Hobo Hop is put by the Student council. This year a n style of costume was introduced; A M querade Ball. Everyone wore a mask cither black or white. Do you remember the year when you wi in eighth grade and came to high school? were led around by a high and mighty sen: shown where all the rooms arc, and briefed school activities. Members of Student coui plan visiting day and conduct it, under supervision of Miss Elizabeth Blaul. Another project directed by the coui was the annual school chest campaign. 1 1951 campaign, headed by Hugh Zimm man, used the theme of oil wells. The g was set at $1000 and surpassed. Having choice on how to spend the money, the s dents voted to allocate $100 to ten separ, organizations. Each council member did his best to ea out the purposes and duties of this organi, tion, for the betterment of the school. Here's hoping that in years to come it v be more and more a student government. Council Executive hoard members pose befor weekly meeting. Sitting arc Ann Ferguson, se tary; Russ Whitney, president, and Hugh Zimm man, treasurer. Standing (from left) arc Toni Murphey, 7 Weinfeld, Leslie Libakken, advisor, Shirley Ca tani, Frank Picchietti, Roxic Harris, George Whi Mimi Angstcr, and John Gould. Dave Baum, v president, was absent when the picture was taki Council in Action In carrying out the numerous duties of this backbone organization, a considerable amount of committee work is necessary, even though the board and the session representa- tives work together. An Improve-the-attitude committee headed by Fillis Schaffncr was or- ganized to eliminate the student's indifference toward school property and rules. This group also worked to achieve better conditions in the lunchroom. Another action taken up by the council was to take over writing the Hallmarks, which appears in the Highland Park News. The new writers tried to give all inclusive coverage to the Highla id Park high students, who arc the sources of Hallmarks.” Government in action. An actual Wednesday morning meeting of Student council, held in the English clubroom and presided over by Russ Whit- ney. 18 Ztu esiti in SeAoica Newest of the organized groups this past year, has been the Service irshals. The purpose for organizing the group of marshals, according Council President Russ Whitney, was to have certain students who mid he ready at all times to serve the school. Council members orig ited the marshal group and outlined its policies. Mimi Angstcr, Dave Baum, and Hugh Zimmerman were made the rectors with a supervisory board of 20. The board was composed of esidents and vice presidents of the Girls' and Boys' clubs, the Senior d Junior class, and the Executive board of Student council. The rest the marshals were selected by the board from nominations made by : Senior and Junior session teachers. They were chosen on their sc hoi- :ic ability (having a ”C or better average) and on their leadership d service. Seniors members, aside from the supervisory board, were: Mike iss, George Bock, Randall Cox, Diane Christiansen. Carol Curotto, ward Ellman, Robert George, Tom Glick, Jim Gordon. James Grace, lane Harris. Cynthia Harris. Dan Herz. Patty Hunt. Douglas Keare, rrhert Klee, and Bob Lempinen. Other Senior marshals were: I ois Limbcrg. Mary Lloyd, Nancy oney, Margaret Locsch. Lila Meitus. Jim Meverhoff, Bonnie McFar- d, and Morton Moss. Also, Dorothy Nichols. Marty Rosenthal, Caro- i Rowe, Fillis Schaffner, Virginia Stone. Fred Westgard. Bill Wurm, mes Zahnle, and Raymond Zanarini. For the first year, the group did an outstanding Job carrying out its ties. Marshal responsibilities consisted primarly of monitoring in halls, d ushering for all school events. Some of the occasions at which they led were the Parent-Teacher visiting nights, spring play, music cou- rt, college days, eighth grade visiting day, and graduation. Another function of this organization was the formation of the affic Sticker committee, a group headed by John Gould and Frank cchietti. The committee issued stickers to all students who drove cars school. Without these identification stickers, the students were not owed to keep their automobiles in the parking area. There is no reward for the services of these marshals, although the nior members received a pin. Service marshal in action. At the ; picture, John Kuipcr, junior, is duty at his marshal desk.

The formation of Boys' club is similar to that of Girls’ club in that all the boys in school arc members. There are many activi- ties sponsored by this club, of which the most outstanding is their banquet. This is attended by the members and their fathers. A number of assemblies arc put on an- nually by the club. These usually feature movies and speakers, and are attended by all the boys in school. Together with Girls' club, the group spon- sors the National Honor society initiation. One of the biggest jobs associated with this is the selecting of the alumni who will preside over the ceremony. The officers do the nam- ing of these people. This year’s board was comprised of one junior and four seniors. Tony Newey is president. Arnold Bock, vice president; Mor- ton Moss, secretary; Pete Husting, treasurer, and Randy Cox. social chairman. Boys' club awards an annual scholarship of one hundred dollars to one or more deserving Senior boys. These persons are selected by a committee consisting of Senior boy's advisors and the faculty advisor of Boys' club.

Riding club was organized to give those students interested in horses an opportunity to learn to ride or to improve their abilities. The club this year was composed of 23 girls. They met on three different times: one day for beginners, another for intermediates, and a third for the advanced. Each group rode once a week for ten weeks. Each spring the club gives a horse show in which all the members participate. Skiing One of the newer, but very popular clubs at the high school is the Ski club. During the 1951 term, membership soared to approximately 75 skiers. The members call themselves Sitzboomers and each is equipped with an emblem to prove it. During the year movies on skiing techniques were shown, and pro- fessional skiers also gave lectures at the Thursday afternoon meetings. And the Gltance to- SUaA xen Aim Courage, rifles, and blue jeans were all that were necessary to enjoy an afternoon for those in Girls Rifle club. The time was usually Wed- nesday at 3:30. An instructor was with them to assist the officers in teaching the others how to handle a gun safely. These officers for the past year were Lois Crowley, president; Joanne Johnson, vice president; Virginia Darby, secretary, and Geraldine Watt, treasurer.

At these, new members may come and examine this organization and the old members are briefed as to coming events. The largest and most important occurancc during the year was the Father-Daughter banquet, which was held in February. HGA initiation was another highlight of the season. The initiates were compelled to wear odd outfits, before being pledged into the associ- ation. Final event was the HGA play-day.

One or two scholarships arc awarded by HGA each year. These are given to seniors who have done three years of commendable work in the association. The candidates arc selected by the board members and the teach- ers of the physical education department. Miss Mary Thompson is the sponsor of HGA. For those who are more skillful in the wa- r, there is the girls' swimming group, known i Penguin club. The main function is to :ach new swimming skills to new and old icmbers, and to have fun while swimming. To become a member, girls tryout at the cginning of the year. They arc selected ac- irding to swimming ability and technique in c crawl, side, breast, and hick strokes, and must be able to do a back wheel. The members this year, numbering 34, were chosen by the officers: Sue Stunkcl, president: Nancy Uhlemann, secretary, and Miss Theo Zaeskc, sponsor. The girls provided entertainment for the school at the annual water ballet. This water spectacle, featured an array of music types. Members interpreted folk, primitive, and ori- ental music while swimming. This ballet was the main event for the water club, but various splash parties and potluck dinners were given.

This is a motto familiar to the edi- tors of the Shoreline, the school’s bi-weekly paper, which had 17 issues this year. The purpose of this publication is to: 1. Provide a practical laboratory for those students interested in journalism. 2. Keep the student body and faculty in- formed on events, present, past and future, in Highland Park high school. Reporters and staff of the Shoreline were selected from the second year students (sen- iors) who had taken a semester of journalism under Mr. Frank Peers and the first year jun- iors studying a combined course of English and journalism. Mr. Don Green is the ad- visor for this publication. The paper usually has four pages: an- nouncements of coming events; feature page, stressing original works and editorials, a page of followups and club news, and a sports page. This year's staff was made up of: Virginia Stone, editor; Mimi Angster. makeup editor; Karen Friedman, news editor; Phil Douglis, sports editor; Gus Nizzi and Douglas Hein- richs, sports assistants; and Mary Reading, advertising manager. « 26 'beMaiete, StaCf,eAan(SUr a iA Aetate A “Student-Faculty debate, sounds like it uld be lots of fun. doesn't it?

Through out the year, groups of chorus members sang at the elementary schools. These students were usually alma mater of that particular school. Every other year, this singing organi zation aids in putting over an operetta, along with the orchestra. Ninth period class is the Senior choir, whose members sing in the blue robes. The officers of this group help to plan the numer- ous appearances which the Senior choir makes. At the close of the year these officers plan the annual music picnic. They are: Peter Walk- er, president; Shirley Allderdice, vice presi- dent; Sally Quigg and Bill Ekvall. secretaries; Lois Baum, treasurer, and Ann Curtis and Gerry Watt, librarians. This choir, minus the seniors, puts the finishing touches to graduation ceremonies. There are two special groups, boys chorus and mixed ensemble, selected from the whole chorus.

There are about 40 members in this organization. During pre- paration for concerts, Mr. Finch combines the string section and some of the brass sec- tion from the band. These musicians rehearre at daily practice or three times a week. Orchestra gives members an opportunity to enlarge their interest in music and improves their musical ability in playing an instrument. They also gain a clearer knowledge of classi- cal music. Private music instruction is avail- able for those who desire it. The biggest events on the calendar for this group were their concerts. Around Christ- mas time, the orchestra, along with the rest of the music department presented the Christ- mas concert. And then again a Spring con- cert is given in April. Another important event in which the orchestra participates is an operetta, which is presented every other year. They accompany the chorus, and play the re- mainder of the background music. When the school play was given, the orchestra provided music during the intermissions. On the lighter side, a dance and picnic is planned by the music department each year. The officers of orchestra, along with the band and chorus officers, arrange the festivities. The orchestra officers arc Jim Gordon, president: Diane Singer, vice president; Nan- cy Lelewer, Robin Saphir, social chairmen.

There's something about a high school band. and this is certainly true about our school band. What would we do without the musing music played for us at the home football games, and then the enjoyment we got from watching the Kind members march between halves of the game. But the football games were not the only- places where we could find the bandsters, for we all marched to their musie to every assem- bly. At graduation night, the seniors marched down the aisle for the last time, to the fa- miliar music of Pomp and Circumstance. Another time the band was seen, was at the Christmas concert. They also performed at the Spring concert, along with the orchestra and chorus. In the 1951-52 school year, there were approximately 65 members in this musical organization. Tom Harter was honored as the quartermaster and drum major, while George Stewart was assistant quartermaster. The officers were Larry Brown, president; Harold Freberg. vice president; Tim Silence, secretary: Bob George and Lois Williams, so- cial chairmen. « 30 Deadlines, layouts, copy, and more dead- lines.

Every September sch x l opens with the same cheerful bustle and confusion, and the last one was no exception. Eight new teach' ers and 328 freshmen were greeted by faculty and students alike. Even the school was polished to its Sunday best, for in addition to the complete remodel- ing of the art room, many other rooms were freshly painted and provided with new flour- escent lighting. As usual, everyone reported to the audi- torium for his schedule and as usual many senior faces fell at the thought of fourth period lunch; popularly known as a late breakfast. Stories of “I caught one this big were told over and over by fishing enthusiasts and the familiar statement that “the freshmen are cer- tainly getting smaller every year. was heard repeatedly from the upperclassmen. Soon, however, everything settled into the normal routine; classes were attended, deten- tion was started, and everyone waited im- patiently for football games and dances to complete the program. Class officers were chosen and the seniors of 1952 started their duties with many read- ing catalogues and folders in preparation for college days. 52 'Itap cUncf, jan. Go-llexjeA., GateenA.

Sim' y that Highland Park high school is known for having one of the st vocational guidance departments in the country. How docs it Work? First, every student is assigned to a session with e of the faculty to be his advisor for four years. The advisor aids the idem in planning his high school courses to suit his abilities and needs. In addition to this, each year in the fall, representatives from all the iding colleges and universities are invited to visit the school. Confer- ees are arranged with any student who is interested in interviewing cm. The first two years are usually spent shopping around and in e junior and senior years individual conferences with students and parents are held with representatives of the school the student plans to enter. The college career r«x m contains literature from almost every school in the country and further enables the pupils to get acquainted with any schtx l he wishes. For those who are not interested in college, guidance is also offered. Vocational conferences, which are lectures, given by successful men in their field are attended by the students. Another important part of this guidance is the job clinic which is for the purpose of informing the future worker on job finding and applying techniques. “Where ii Beloit College?

The seniors also were busy, for besides hav ing their pictures taken, they began to thin more seriously about college. Pamphlets an college catalogues were pulled from shelve and both Miss Rink and Mr. Edward Bur well were kept busy discussing college plan and applications. Hot dogs, confetti, and cheers fit into th football season, plus an abundance of fan who turned out to Kick the team at ever game. Preparations for Student stunts wen started, and it wasn’t long before the hall were decked with posters and balhxms to ad vertise the coming show. 'Wiii+Uf fyfL By Ginny Stone Shy little freshman.

The time and place for this year's Student stunts was Nov. 16, 1951 at 8:15 p.m. in the auditorium. The setting was “Max Frobisher Enterprises of Broadway, Inc. and, according to Jim Grace, stage man- ager, it was one of the most impressive shows ever produced. Stunts was under the production of Carol Curotto and Ken Kraft, co-chair- men of the Stunts committee, and was directed by Miss Rosalia Mar- quart. Jim Gordon, chairman, and Assistants Fillis Schaffncr, Diane Har- ris, Randall Cox, Roxie Harris, Russ Whitney, and Howard Kuiper were responsible for the script, while the actual writing was done by Jim Gordon. Virginia Stone, and Jim Meyerhoff. They assigned the main speaking parts to four very capable actors; Paul Day, Fillis Schaff- ncr. Steve Ross, and Jim Meyerhoff. Stunts was sponsored by the Senior class for the purpose of raising funds for the yearbook. Perhaps this is what stimulated so much in- terest in the show, but in any case, the class was well rewarded for its efforts, because nearly 1,400 people, one of the largest crowds in HPHS history viewed the production.

Not a line or cue was “flubbed and the continual firing of flash bulbs of the six press pho- tographers added to the “big time air.

It is commonly known what the student's attitude toward the teacher is. hut who has ever analyzed the teacher's attitude toward the students? A glance at the other side of this picture might serve to enliven the controversy. To the teacher, students are divided into various categories. First, is the teacher's pet. This name is given to him by students and in truth he is usually the teachers biggest problem. The pet is always making his presence known in an cvcr-so-angelic way. As teacher looks at the rows of faces, the little apple-polisher is always the smiling one. the one that nods and comments at every utterance of the master, the one that always is ready with the right answer. So you. the teacher, call on him (chiefly because no one else volunteers). Then you are tagged with having “favorites” or if you never call on him. students say “he has a drag with you . On the other hand, there is the one that picks your class as the least consequential on his schedule and proceeds to take his after- noon nap; then if he doesn't go to that ex- treme, he will persist in yawning all period. Now maybe you have spent a good deal of time in preparing a lecture or demonstration and as you stand before this profuse sea of heads you notice that most of them arc busy writing. Well, this is encouraging, but after a few years you realize that students arc an- swering notes from girl friends, drawing like- nesses of you (broadside, backside, sideways or some way) but you knew they had SOME talent! There are those who work in your class— at least they carry their textbooks home at night. And these arc always the ones who think they know quite a bit. Even if they don't shine in class, you, the clairvoyant, are supposed to know how worthy they really arc. Usually during a test these few by some miracle manage to forget everything they ever learned. And then, they are number one grade-gripers. In every class, there's the one who is a martyr. It is he that is always doing some- thing different than the rest of the class, or worse, not doing anything at all. You over- look him until you can’t stand it any longer and then you say something to him. WELL, if that isn't the limit! How dare you? Don't you know that sonny is used to having his own way? From then on you try to avoid him and then comes the remark, she won't even speak to me. You can't win! But that's not all. there arc many othei types such as the one who thinks he can en- tertain the class better than you and attempts to do so. There are boys who punch each other, girls who make up their face everyday, those who sit in the front row and try tc stare you down. Then there's the clock-gazer, and the happy couples who hold hands anti rub noses in your doorway before parting foi another 40 long minutes. You must give homework but you're a beast if you assign anything that takes ovet ten minutes. And when it comes to themes, of course, you enjoy nothing better than read- ing late into the night, the scores of enlighten- ing and brilliant masterpieces the geniuses produce. Sure you love them all, but is it any won- der teachers get gray? Top left—The avid Little Giant backer arc jubilant a the result of the victory ovc Oak Park.

For this was the team which finished third in the state meet, third in the Suburban League meet, and fourth in league standings. Pacing the swimmers in earning these achievements were Allan Rubcnstcin. junior, and Seniors Russell Whitney and Doug Kcarc. The latter two were the Suburban League champions in diving and the 50-yard crawl respectively. But it was Rubcnstcin who was the real champion.” He was a state record smasher, a double winner in the state, and a single winner in the suburban. A1 put on a spectacular one-man show in the state meet, winning third for Highland Park almost single-handed. He gave the crowd a thrill as he swept the state breaststroke race, and then turned New Trier's huge natator- ium into bedlam as he went on to whip Evans- ton's favored Deed Hardin in the individual medley.

The younger edition of the Little Giants ipcned their season just like the varsity did. is they bowled over five straight opponents be- ore meeting a defeat. Over the season, the :rosh-sophs sported a five and four overall nark and a three and four league record.

Sporting an over all record of 1.5-9, the team was paced by big Bob Stork George, the league's leading scorer, who copped every individual honor in the record book. Big Bob. using all of his six feet, six inches, poured 318 points through the nets during the league sea- son. Among the other honors that came to Bob were nominations on both the first and second all-state teams, and being named on the all-Chicago area and all-Suburban teams. George was also considered for a berth in the national north-south game. The rest of the Giant crew included Renzo Marchetti. forward, who finished ninth in the league scoring with 165 points. Opposite Renzo at the other forward spot was able Frank Picchietti, who accounted for 91 points against his competitors. The guard positions, where the majority of plays are set up, were filled by Gene Pizzato and Ed Capitani. Be- tween the two, they accumulated some 120 points, mostly on long 30 footers that seemed guided by radar. Another high-light of the season was found in Hal Freberg’s feed-off antics in the pre- game warmups. He might yet play forward some day for the Lakers. The season began with two exhibition games after three weeks of practice. Although the play looked ragged, the boys came through with wins in both contests. Then came Sub- urban League play, which is one of the most competitive in the country. At first things looked dark. The team lost games to New Trier, Oak Park, and Morton before coming through with a 46-40 win against Niles. With this under their belts the Giants won two out of the next three, losing to Waukegan by a . 54 - ling 50-49 score. fter the Hinsdale Christmas tournament learn won a breath-taking 47-44 overtime from Evanston and followed this with ; over Proviso. New Trier, and Oak Park: atter two being heavily favored. The 60- ipsct of the Terriers came as revenge for arlier defeat. The remainder of the league tlulc saw the boys win handily from Niles Waukegan, but lose to Morton and aston. he 1951-52 edition of the Sophomore bas- ali team wound up its season sporting a :-to-impressivc record of three wins and defeats in league play. The record left a in sole possession of the basement in the ue. i exhibition games. Coach Wallace Ham- berg’s boys split a pair, thus giving them jverall record of four wins and 12 lasses, m Troy, a forward with an accurate eye, the team in scoring, making 44 baskets and free throws for a total of 105 points, imong the bright moments the boys had a last-second thriller over the New Trier as in Winnetka. With the score tied at ill and five seconds left to play.

Renzo Marchctti, a big senior hurler. also hits had moments of glory, setting down Niles on two hits on April 19. But his slab com- panion Bud Bock has an even more impressive record, sporting a two and nothing mark mid- way in the season. He was the league's leading pitcher at that point, and fifth in the Chicago area. The frosh-soph, coached by Harold Hender- son, were up near the top of their standings at mid-season, as they piled up five wins in their first six games.

The team, composed of Ray Zanarini, Paul Day. Chris Phelps. Henry Loch, and Gene Pizzato, came through the rain and cold to win the Illinois State Golf Championship with a four man score of 685. It was team play that payed off. Led by Day and Zanarini. who both had 168's, the squad rallied on the last nine of the thirty-six hole tourney to regain their earlier lead.
