THE CLASS OF 1941 PRESENTS T H E MA C K HONONEGAH COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL ROCKTOISFILLINOIS FOREWORD We, the Seniors of Hononegah 1941, have proudly used the Indian ,theme in our annual in honor of Hononegah, the Indian maiden who was the daughter of a chief of the P-ottawatomies. HONONEGAH married Stephen Mack, the first white settler of the Rock River Valley--this section of Illinois. When Stephen Mack, a graduate of Dart- mouth College, first came here as a trapper and an adventurer, he was captured and tied to 3 stake to be burned. The Indian princess, Hono- negah, cut his bonds in the night and he fled Chicago, which was then Fort Dearborn. Shortly afterwards the dauntless Stephen returned to the ,shores of Rock River, drawn by the irresistible beauty of the placid Rock River and its adjacent verdant country side-or was it the shy glance of a dusky eyed maiden? The in- dians were again incensed at Mack so Hononegah hid him on an island until they could marry. Then he became a member of the tribe and went his unmolested way with his beautiful bride to carry out his destiny of opening up this great wilderness ,to settlement. Thus was the beginning, we, and our school, the culmination. TABLE OF CGNTENTS 1. THE COUNCILMEN. 2. THE TRIBE. 3. WARS AND GAMES 4. POW-WOWS. 5. NINE MOCNS PASS. MR. ROCDT To you who gave to us during the past four years so much of your valuable time as our sponsor .... To you, whose careful guidance and excellent advice have helped The Class of 1941 to be successful ..... To you, Mr. Root, we dedicate this annual, The Mack of 1941. THE CCUNCILMEN TRAINING YOUTH FDR The history and background of our high school, Hononegah, is steeped in Indian lore. The name of our state Illionois came directly from an Indian word Illini which means Real Men. The emphasis was place on the Word real, which, to the Indian, meant bravery and courage, trustworthiness and honesty. The limited training received by the Indian youths was aimed to fit them for fine living and well round' ed useful lives. So it is here at Hono negah, all departments of this school are trying to train boys and girls for well rounded lives. Each year new equlipment must be added, new policies must be pursued, and new practices put into force and old theories must be re-emphasized in order that the purpose of education may be achieved. 1. We are still recognized by the State Department of Education and are still accredited by the University of Illinois. We are also ac- credited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which bases its judgment on highest qualifications of faculty and school equipment. 2. A real library room has been constructed by partitioning off what was once the front of the study hall. New books and dictionaries and magazines have been added and old ones rebound. 3. A new mimeograph machine has been purchased for running off the weekly school paper and other duplication work. 4. The movie machine, purchased two years ago, is being used more than ever before. 5. Steam valves have been installed on the radiators of each class room so that the humidity will no longer be twice as dry as desert air. 6. Through the kindness of Mr. Clifford Ellis, our board president, a back-geared screw cutting lathe has been put into use in our general shop so that our boys may at least learn the first principles of being machinists. Our ,industrial arts department ds the only one of its kind in a wide range of territory around Northern Illinois, because it has a gen- eral shop instead of the old type of wood working set up. 7. Two new school buses, one owned by the district and the other by Seaton Bros. of Shirland, are transporting seventy or more students who live outside our district, to school each day. 8. Music is given a large part in the school curriculum this year, since the band meets once each. day instead of once a Week as formerly. The Glee Club is on a regular class ba sis and meets every day, too. . DEEDS WE MUST PERFORM The subjects the Indians of Hononegah must take are more or less subscribed by the Medicine-Men. However, our Squaws and Warriors have some choice of the subjects they want to become learned in. The Councilmen want to make sure that their work has not been in vain so they say that we have to pass in tho se subjects starred before we can be considered full-fledgd Squaws and Warrfiors-white men called it be- ing graduatedf' If a Warrior or Squaw plans to go to college two years of Latin and two of Mathematics should be taken as some colleges require these before enrollment.

Miss Ruth Rice 5 If you want to know how to make a dress or bake a cake ask Miss Rice. She knows! She also teaches the girls how to Indian-wrestle, and is sponsor of the Tennis club! Mrs. Ruth Northrop Always on the job and friendly. She teaches the Indians English- and do we need it! Seems like we will never learn all those words! Why did Webster have to make so many?

She teaches English and Sewing, and also has charge of the Library. Mrs Dorothy Rasmussen . l u . Doeenft she ever get tired answering questions and signing absence slips? Being a School Secretary isn't a snap-at least not with a tribe of wild and forgetful Indians like us. S THE COUNCIL 0. E. Loomis, Principal CCivics, English IVJ B.

Four seasons ago our mighty chiefs were papooses, They relied on others and shrank from mental and physical combat. To lead them through that dangerous place they chose Gordon R George, president: Mary Lou Liddle, vice presidentg Raymond Olds, secretary-treasurer: and Mr. Root as sponsor. Gradually their environment and heredity gave them courage to stand on their own feet. Again the moon changed. Now is was summer and the hunters Planned to Stalk their Prey- Their prey, of course, was the innocent new papooses or Freshmen. To lead in the hunt. Royce Diderich was se- lecbed 88 PI'6SideHt: LGROY Dicks, vice presidentg and Mary Lou Lid- dle as secretary and treasurer. Again the season was fall. The braves were indeed very brave and felt equal to winning the scalp of the mightiest warrior. During this time they picked Dawn Shotliff, president 3 Herbert Brewer, vice presidentg Lila Baker, secretary: and Mabel Burton, treasurer. Mr. Root was again sponsor. They won many scalps in presenting the class play Life Begins at Sixteen, in giving a banquet for the Chiefs at Grinnell Hall: and .in having a prom which showed off their artisitic ability. They re- ceived more feathers in their scalp-Lock by deciding to undertake a trip to the happy hun'ing ground of Washington, D. C., for their last or final hunt. The snows came again. The heavens were white. The chiefs were re- laxing and smoking thier pipes of peace. No longer did they struggle. They had reached the top and were supreme. Among the mightiest of the chiefs were Herbert Brewer, president: Robert Harrlisch, vice presi- dentg Mary Lou Liddle, secretary-tr easurerg and Mr. Root class advisor. Their first great battle was an operetta An Old Spanish Custom. They were victonious and it was a was a success. The chiefs could in which they all did their best and were again victorious. After four years of hard work they received their award. 'I'hey de- parted for Washington. The trip was a succsss. The chiefs could now return to their happy homes as they had accomplished what 'man had never done before, their goal hadbeen reached.

V.- , , ,Q H' Q, BRAVES - JUNIORS In the fall sixty-five new papoose: arrived in the Hononegah tribe. They did not have the ordinary coloring of the ,Indlian but were very green. So green were they, that they tcnok a beating from the hands of the hunters at an intiation held early in the year. At that time they chose Donald Baker, president, J im Gilchrist, vice-presidentg Jayne Thayer, secretary and treasurerg and Miss Dale, class sponsor. The next season they advanced to the hunter stage. This year they in- vaded the camp of the papoose and carried on a one-sided warfare with them. As leaders they selected Donald Clikeman, presidentg Donald Vincent, vice presidentg Jo Gummow, secretaryg Beryl Anderson, treas- urerg and Miss Brauer, class sponsor. They sponsored a pow-wow at which the whole Hononegah tribe danced and celebrated. The same sea- son they held a ceremonial which was limited just to the hunters. At this they played games and afterwards ate the food of the tribe. As Juniors, they had become stronger and more powerful and at last they were classed as braves of their company. The three of the bravest were Jim Gilchrist, president: Donald Baker, vice-presidentg and Bar- bara McKibben, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Walker was the class ad- visor. They sponsored dances during the course of the year at which the Swing Gods ruled. In the spring they held a feast for the Chiefs and also ,entertained them at a ceremonial prom. The braves had fought well during their first three years and soon they will be made the undisputed Chiefs of the Tribe of Hononegah. V The pleasure of the Gods be with them! 17 HUNTERS The papoose had been born. Ve ry timidly they began their life in the tribe. To lead them through the try ing days of infancy they chose ,Glenn Ilisher, presidentg Eldon Coots, vice presidentg Betty White, secretary and treasurerg and Mr, Hicks, faculty advisor. .They had a hard time at first. The Hunters kept them busy Working for them and in the fall gave them their first lesson in self- protection at an initation. They enjoyed two pow-wows du ring the course of ,the first season. At the second one they discarded their ,papoose clothes and came dressed as beggars. Leone Stultz and Wendall Roth were thought to be the best dressed for the occasion. They prospered-they grew at last they were Hunters. Their prey, ofcourse, were the innocent papoose. The hunt had begun and Victor Ellis, presidentg Guy Hopkins, vice-president, ,Edna Cox, secretary and treasurerg and Mr. Hicks, class advisorg ,were chosen as leaders to go ahead and lay the trail. After they had subdued the papoose at a festive initiation they celebrated by having a feast and war-dance at which they all threw away their weapons of war and had a good time. In their class they have two out- standing warblers. Both Glenn Fish- er and Richard Porterfield have won prizes in music-. Blanche Bell and Glenn Fisher were the leading characters in the Operetta presented in the spring of 1941. Richard Porterfield was chosen as the best boy so- prano in the ,national contest during his Freshman year. 'llhe Hunters deid not shirk in combat- Ledell Dickerson receive a major leter in football. Minor letters were earned by Victor Ellis, Glenn Fisher and Newton Wood. Guy Hopkins and Victor Ellis, received minor letters for being on the tribe's second -string basketball team. Patsy Stultz and Betty White kept up the tribe's Spirit by leading the cheering at the games the ,warriors played in. For two years they have been growing stronger and more powerful and writh the ,coming of the next season they will be the braves of the tribe of Hononegah. 1B PAPOCSE - FRESHMEN The papoose had arrived. This season they seemed braver than usual. They were quick to learn! the ways of the tribe but not quite as able to grasp the laws. In time, tihey knew the regulations for living in the tribe, however, and it looked as if they would be a very powerful part of it in the future. To lead them through the stage of infancy they chose Eileen Shields, pre identg Dick Shields. v-ice presidentg Gerald Snyder, secre- tary-treasurerg and Miss Larson as class advisor. As Miss Larson left in the middle of the year, Mrs. Barmore took over the job. The hunters put them in their place soon after their arrival at am initiation which was held before the Magazine Dance. They did not wear the customary ceremonial garb but the boys were attired in the girls' dresses, and the girls wore long-legged underwear that wasn't too becom- ing. They both were highly painted writh traditonal Indian War paint. Early in life they learned to stalk the prey. They went on a scaven- ger hunt at which they ransacked barn and attics of the dwellings of the Indians of the tribe of Rockton. They then returned to the lodge of Hononegah and feasted. Having struggled bravely through the most trying period of being the insignificant papoose they are ready to take up their bows and arrows and advance to the hunter stage. May the hunt be a success!! li PAPOOSE First Row Cleft to rightjz Charlotte King, Louise Wright, Mary Doner, Shirley Adams, Mary Garner, Janet Compton, Darlene Dahlgren, Gladys Krupke Mrs. Barmore.

Ji 'vf ICP Ammuf V 1011111 1 1 WARS AND GAMES ON THE WAR PATH Like the warriors of old, our football boys of 1940 came back with a long string of scalps at their belts. After fighting courageously against stiii' resistance they finished off by routing South Beloit, our all-time rivals, 25-0 in the last battle of the season. Led by Fleetfoot ,our swift and indomitable Cliff Chamberlain, our warriors set up the greatest scoring record qf Hononegah's his tory. Coached by our wise Chief of Chief's, Onlin Walker, the warriors showed superior skill in passing. blocking and all around fighting. The team started off with a zest and will to win which carried them right through to the finish. BATTLES FOUGHT AND WON FORT ATKINSON Fort Atkinson has for many years been our first foe each season but we never have been able to beat them before. This year our eleven redmen, on the night of September 20, went to the F-ort and triumphed over them 13-0. MARENGO was our next victim and we trounced them in a spectacular opening game. This was Hono negah's first conference victory and the sky looked bright for the future. HARVARD is a team which we have played since the new North Six Conference was formed. Harvard always develops a strong football team and tied with us 13-13 on October 5. WINNEBAGO fell before us on Saturday, October 12 and gave us a complete conquest over them on their on field defeating them 14-2. This was our third conference game without defeat. The Winne- bago Indians had high hopes for their homecoming game, but that hope was quickly displaced by admiration for our warriors. HARLEM was our Homecoming rival on October 19. This game was a great success though we tied with Harlem 6-6. Harlem recovered a Hononegah fumble on their ten yard line and crossed the goal. Our warriors prayed a stiff, tight game although handicapped by a couple of lame warriors, SOUTH BELOIT a Massacre! Did Hononqgah ever scalp them! Ho- nonegah's heroes of the gridiron of 1940 climaxed their string of victims by smashing their old rivals, South Beloit, 25-0. Our class cheer goes, Victory, victory, is our cry, V-i-c-t-o-r-y. Our Ho- nonegah warriors lived up to it in the South Beloit game. 22 OUR WARRIORS Maybe 13 is unlucky but we had 13 lucky boys who obtained their honorary emblems or letters this season. These boys went out after their foes as tenderfoot warriors and came back as veteran chiefs each having taken many scalps. Cliff Chamberlain-Chief. A swift backiield warrior who played a quick sly game in there at left half..Aplayer that you only find once in a Blue Moon. He carried the ball more than any other warrior. He was voted as the most valuable plaver on the team. Called Super by his friends or foes, he came to us fr om Beloit High School. Gus George-Chief. Our big tough Captain though handicapped by a bad leg or shoulder at different times, carried his share and more of the games, It was due to his accu dacy and ablity to pitch that a lot of the long gains were made. LeRoy Dicks-Chief. Tackling, charging, little Dummy always in there where the going was tough. He was the real spark and fire of the team and was voted second most valuable warrior. Without Dummy those games would have been decidedly different. Probably the best plunger the team ever had. Don Carter-Chief. Tall, fast Don was a very valuable man at right end. A bit reserved and quiet at tim es but always a friend of every- body's and a good team player. Fifth most valuable man. Bob Waugh-Chief, A tough rugged, right tackle who could be counted on to take his opponent out of the way. He broke his leg in the game with Harlem and so was un able to play in the ,game with South Beloit. Dale McMaster-Chief. Dale had the lightness of feet. quickness of arm, and sureness of eye that Indians are famous for. He played sub- stitute back, and was our main man for pass defensive. Lawrence Hobart-Chief. A tough, sturdy center whose accurate passes will be missed next year. Babe was always on time and played in every game. Dale Nelson-Chief. Developed into a very good tackle and made the hole in the line when necessary. Voted the 6th most valuable player- Owen Reimer-Chief. A fiery plunging halfback who had the cour- age that it takes. Duke was a handy ball carrier and did his share of it. Don Baker-Brave. Fourth mo st valuable man. He was voted next year's Captain so we expect a lot fr om Don next year He was a sticky fingered pass receiver and an all around aggressive player. Don Vincent-Brave, Tubby's heft and size always counted when the going was hard. Played in every game without injuries to speak of. Next year is tis last and should be his best year in the game. Ledell Dickerson--Brave. A hard hitting guard always bucking the line. He'll be back next year to play again for good old Hononegah. Bill Lonkowski-Brave. A tough warrior to come up against. Play- ed right tackle We hope to see him next season. UNDEFEATED WARRIORS This season proved to be a great success in football for Hononegah Our Warriors rode through their string of contests as undefeated champions. Although they tied the North Six Championship with Har- lem, it does not lessen the honor that should have been given them. Our thirteen tried and true warriors, who received their large H emblems gave their talent tirelessly and willingly. In honor of our football heroes, the Pep Club gave a special football banquet on December 4. At this banquet, the team gave to the school the large and beautiful trophy that is now on display in our hall. The Heavyweight team, which always seems to be the most import- ant to everyone, won 3 and tied 2 out of the five conference games. Our team average considerably heavier 'zhem an extra advantage in niches. then an extra advantage in pinches. Most of these warriors may now be seen strutting around these halls of learning with large letters on their purple sweaters and the emblems of the conference champions on their arms, The Lightweight team was com posed motsly of warriors, who are trying their first year at football They did not win a game but gained the knowledge necessary to make football stars of the future These boys received their small H's in honor of their achievements. 1940 Season's Football Scores Date Opponen.

They played the required number of quarters and each earned a large H. DALE McMASTED, Senior-Our sharp-shooting star. Ming was noted for his keen ability in getting under the basket with his one-hand- ed angle shots. Dale was voted the most valuable man to his team and his name will be placed on the Basketball Plaque. LAWRENCE HOBART. Senior--Babe gave us a good game for our money and always filled the bill . He was our extra guard until Dummy was out for the season, when he came in and played the rest of the games. GORDON GEORGE, Senior-'Gusi' played a steady, even game at forward or more often at the guard position. Near the end of the first se- mester he received an eye injury which kept him laid up until the Sec- tional Tournament. CLIFFORD CHAMBTRLIN, Senior-- Super maybe wasn't as spectacular as he was in football, but he was one pf our best players al- ways playimg a good game and always giving his best. He played guard or forward and was handy to get the tip-off at center. DONlALD CARTER. Senior--- Don was our regular ,center player and is noted for his streaks of scoring, which we will all remember, es- pecially in the games with Harlem and the Alumni. Don was elected honorary captain, at the close of the season. DONALD BAKER, Junior-The only regular non-senior letterman. He will certainly be the all-star next year. Don made the most points of all the players, a total of 126.f Hats off to Don. Three other boys should be mentioned here. They did not receive their letters because they did not play in enough quarters but they played some fine ball and did a lot for dear old Hononegah. PAUL OSBORNE,-Buck will always emain in our memories for the telling basket, which put Hononegah ahead in the thrilling Hononegah- Fecatonica game during the Durand tournament. OWEN REIMER,-Duke played in a good many games and did a fine job of playing guard. LEROY DICKS,-Though handicapped by a bum knee, at various times throughout the season, he was a fine asset to the team Dummy,f' played guard and was both fast in bringing the ball down the floor and ac- curate in his passes. A great team player. F0019 LL PEP First Row fleft to rightb: Dale McMaster, LeRoy Dicks, Lawrence Hobart, Gordon George, Dale Nelson, Cliff Chamberlain, Don Carter, Owen Reimer . Second.

LIGHT WEIGHTS PLAY TOC At Hononegah we also have a dandy light-weight basketball team- Nine warriors received their small Hononegah letters, having played the required quarters. These boys listed below, played 18 games and Won 4, DONAL CLIKEMAN, Junior- Our tall, lanky, center who hopes to win his berth on the first team next next year. BILL COX, Junior--A fiery, fia shy forward who played a little on the first team, but was seen most oft en on the second team. DALE SCOTT, Junior-A forward who shows great possibilities and we'll be looking for you on that A team next year, Dale. LEDELL DICKERSON, Junior-A handy ball-handler. He played guard and ought to be an asset to next year's team. WILLIAM LONKOWSKI, J unior-Bill played a good scoring game in there as forward. His height helps out a lot in getting the jump oin his opponents. GUY HOPKIN, Sophomore-An early member of the second team, a Sophomore, who should be a swell player by the time he is a Junior., NEWTON WOOD, Sophomore-Another Sophomore, who, though short and round, made up for it with his fiery spinit. VICTOR ELLIS, Sophomore-Vic was small, but that left hand earns a good many baskets. We're lgoking for another Hawkeye, Vic. DONALD 'OLDS-The Freshmen's lone contribution to the basket- ball teams. Don played a nice game and we'll just wait till he has more practice to tell you all about him. Watch him, tho! This year the team won ten and lost eight games. The total number of points earned in the 18 battles was 518, to the opponents total of 500. Donald Baker, our scoring Junior, made 126 points, with Carter and Mc' Master following behind with 120 and 118 respectively, Harvard won the North Six Conference Championship, with Hono, negah coming in third. At the Durand tournament we came home with the cup tucked under Coach Walker's arm. At the regional tournament we drew Winnebago for the first game and were defeated by a very close SOOTB .

This gives everyone a chance to compete in some sport and adds interest to school life. At the close of the basketball sea son the boys sponsored an inter-class tournament to make money to go to the State Tournament at Cham- paign. The games were held in the evening and the Seniors were the winners among all the classes. The Juniors were in second place at the close of the tournament. V The girls also held an inter-class tournament and in this the Junior girls came out the victors, defeating the Seniors by two points. Each year, the boy who makes the most free throws in games is honored as the free-throw champion. Dale McMaster won over Paul Os- borne by a close margin this year. It is necessary to make over 20 points in order to become the free' throw champion. In the basketball shooting tournament Don Clikeman came out on the top by defeating Don Carter. Carter made 25 out of a possible 50 points while Clikeman made 31 out of a possible 50. Many boys and girls played Ping Pong during the winter months. In the boys' singles tournament, Leland Miller easily triumphed over Royce Diderich with a score of 21-11, 18-21, 21-12, In the doubles tournament Miller and Diderich defeated Brewer and Reimer. Here at Hononegah we have many other sports which all of us can enter into, if we choose. Among them are: Volley Ball, Softball, Tennis and Shuffleboard. Since many of us stay at school for lunch, we play during the noon hour and make many friends, as we enter into the sports. ' All in all, we have a well round ed athletic program. Every student is encouraged to enter as many sports as he is interested in -because most schools realize that bodies are just important as brains and a well train- ed brain should go with a well train ed body. BRAVES' GOOD TRACK SEASON This year many warriors went out for track on those cold, bleak March mornings. Some of the letter men were back from last year and many new and promising men appeared for practice and made the team. In the write-ups in the news papers Hononegah was called the school with the one-man track-team, meaning that Chamberlin was our star and he certainly did a wonderful job of getting Hononegah on the map at track meets. Some of the other stars were Babe Hobart, Bill Cox, Don Baker, Lonkowski and Carter. Bill Cox and Dale Long won minor letters last year and wee back again to gain more honor this year. These men were entered in the North Six Conference Meet at Har- lem and comprised the track team, since they were all out season: Hob- art, Carter, Chamberlin, Brewer, Johnson, Gilchrist, Maurice Long, Dale Long, Cox, Bean. Lonkowski, Baker, Bussy, and Zahn. Chamberlin was captain of the track team this year and proved his ability by being the high-point man at the North Six Meet. On that day he won two firsts, three seconds, and ran in two relays. He also made a new conference record in pole va ult jumping 11 fee-t and 3 5X8 inches. At the North Six Conference Me et at Harlem, Hononegah won third place. Harvard won first in the meetwith 51 points, Winnebago was sec- ond with 41 points and Hononegah had,a. total of 39 points at the close of the afternoon. Each man who won a place at this meet received a medal . il-Iononegah won both of her ho me track meets by defeating both Durand and South Beloit. The schedule for the season Was: April 18 South Beloit Here April 22 Durand and South Beloit Here April 26 Palatine Relays There May 1 North Six Meet Harlem May 6 Beloit There May 10 District Tournament Rockford May 17 State Meet Champaign PEP CLUB Class Sponsor .......... Mr. Hicks President ....... . . . Mary Lou McKibben Vice President . . . ........ Dan Steward Secy. and Treas. .............. Ruth Reynolds If you hear a lot of noise coming from somewhere you will know the Pep Club is having Heap-Big Round- Up. fWhere there's smoke there is fire, all you good Indians should know.. They always have a round- up before every important battle so all the warriors will be ready to go on warpath. The cheerleaders, Patsy Stultz, Betty White, Jo Gummow, and Doris Knapp, are always on hand with some new war whoops for the squaws and warriors. The Pep Club made a Heap-Big success of the bonfire and snake daqnce they sponsored before the Homecoming game. On Wednesday, December 4, the Pep Club gave a big feast in honor of the football warriors for having tied for first place, with the other tribes in the North Six Conference. Everyone was invited to attend this pow-wow. The feast was held at the Methodist church in Rockton. Lois Olson, Mary Lou McKibben and Jo Osborne were the Decorating Com- mittee. Royce Diderich, and Lila Baker were on the Ticket Committee. The tables were decorated with puple and gold footballs. Mr. Loomis presented the trophy to the team whwich later was presented to the school. Cliif Chamberlain was recognized as the most valuable player on the team. Mr. Beyer, from Rockford h.igh school, was the guest speaker, and he talked on hom football forms character. The school band played several numbers throughout the evening, and the Moody sisters played the miramba. Raymond Olds and Dean McMaster played a guitar duet. At the close of the basketball season the Pep Club presented a miniature gold basketball to Dale McMaster, the Free Throw Cham- pion and most valuable member of the basketball team. The Pep Club was really peppy this year and showed an increase in membership and school spirit!!! PGW-WOWS NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is a nation-wide organization. The mem- bers are chosen from the Junior and Senior classes by the faculty on the basis of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Fifteen per cent of each graduating class is eligible to become members of the National Honor Society. Last year three of the class of 1941 were chosen for this organiza- tion. They are: Mary Lou Liddle, Dawn Shotliff, and Dorothy Lang. This year four new members were chosen and they are: Mabel Burton, Lila Baker, Herbert Brewer, and Robert Harnisch. The members were initiated on March 31 at an assembly program. The initiation was formal and impressive. It was put on by the old mem- bers with the aid of some of the faculty. Miss Munger represented Scholarship saying that learning is ever in the freshness of its youth and furnishes the lamp by which we read the past and the light which illumines the future. Mr. Hicks rep resented Leadership. He said that a leader is able to say yes and no at the right time. A leader knows that courage begets confidence, confidence begets poise, and thus it is that a person who can master him self may ,become a master of men. Mliss Rice represented Service saying, Much has been given to you and much will be ,expected of you. You have duties to others as well as to yourselves, and you can shirk neither. ,It will lighten the darkness of unbelief and enable you to forget self in service. Mr. Root repre- sented Character and said that character is the abilitv to decide correctly in the face of the question of right and wrong. The abilitv to distin- guish between right and Wrong is the most important qualification for an Honor Society Member. Mr. Loomis then explained the meaning of National Honor and con- gratulated the new members. The emblem of this society is a keystone and the flaming torch. Thus the keystone symoblizes the high ideals of the Society and the flaming torch is the emblem of its purpose. BANKING We, at Hononegah, think it is a good idea to have a few dollars tucked away for a,rainy day, Every Tuesday we ,bring our pennies and bank them for future use.. We find these ,savings very helpful in pay- ing for our class rings, pictures, Senior trip, etc. Thirty-two per cent of the Sen i-ors bank, sixty-six per cent of the Juniors, forty per cent of the Sopho mores and thirty-eight per cent of the Freshmen. We think it is a great privilege to have at personal bank account without any trouble whatsoever. 32 LAW MAKERS OF TRIBE Faculty Advisors Officers Mr. Loomis .

This year the Student Council and Faculty Advisors took a trip to Mt. Morris to a district Convention of Student Council Members. At this convention, Don Baker was elec ted President of the Student Council League of Northern Illinois. On February 27, the Student Council of Mt. Morris visited our school. Each member was ,presented with a pam- phlet which related to the history and daily routine of Hononegah. We are all looking forward to next wear when Hononegah will be host to the District Convention of Student councils. This organization sponsored the Christmas party and they also took care of noon-day activities all during the year. They also sponsored atrial election in which Willkie won ever Roosevelt which was just the opposite of the real outcome. The Student Council has been a great help to the pupils and faulty in making every-one keep the feeling of a good school sprit. TRIBE BEATS TOM-TOMS OFFICERS President .... ................ J im Gilchrist Manager . . . .............. Don Clikeman Custodian . . .................. Howard Goldy Librarian ............. ........... R ay Olds The band enjoyed a very vigorous schedule this year, meeting every day and getting a full credit the sa me as any academic subject. The music was bought and furnished by the school, enabling everyone to have his own copy. Mr. Gallup proved to be a very capable instructor, as well as a real friend to everyone. It was a familiar sight every morning to see him in front of the band, with a cornet or a trumpet in one hand, and a baton in the other. On May 9, there was a band con cert-and what a concert! Every- thing from lively marches, such as the Notre Dame Victory March, to a selection from the 0pera Orpheus. There was also a narrated number Uncle Tom's Cabin , played by the entire band. Jim Gilchrist gave us a, solo on his big brass horn, and the Moody sisters pleased us with a marimba-phone duet. Several times during the past year the band played at assembly programs. They were accepted nicely by the students, who enjoyed the music very much. The band at Pep Meetings,created an exciting atmos- phere which added to the school spirit. The band played at the Home coming game. They started out, be- fore the game, by marching down town playing lively marches with the high-steppin' drum majors of the band. They played at a political meeting in the Town Hall, and then marched back to the football field. Between the halves they did some fancy formations, marching, to form an H for Harlem, and played their school song, then forming an H for Ho- nonoegah and played our school song. On a Saturday, in the middle of May, the band took a trip. They went to Milwaukee. In the afternoon they went to a stage show at one of the famous Milwaukee theatres. After supper they danced and had a swell time-getting home at a time when the small hours are getting larger. 34 CHORUS OFFICERS President . . . ............ Beryl Anderson Manager . .. .... Bernice Jones Librarian .............. ........ W illa Faust Have you heard some very effective and pleasing Indian war chants in room Nlo. 5 eighth hour, this past year? It was the Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Gallup. They met three times a week and receivd 315 of a credit for the year. On May 9 the chorus appeared in a joint concert with the band- They sang folk songs, semi-popular songs and also operatic numbers. They did a very good job and the audience was well pleased. On the 15th of March, when the new members of the National Honor Society were initiated, the chorus sang, Now We Sing from the oper- etta On Our Way. It had a profound effect on all the students. Even those who weren't exactly music lov ers gave full hearted attention and agreed that the chorus of Hononegah is a fine one. CAMERA CLUB OFFICERS Sponsor ...... .................. M r.

L ila Baker Don't look now, but isn't there s omeone taking your picture? Maybe that's where all those good candid sh ots came from that are on the snap- shot page. Mr. Hicks and the members met every Thursday after school and had their business meetings, and every fourth Monday night they had a program with moving pictures on how to take and develop pictures. All you needed was a camera to become a member. They have some new equipment including a four color light box, a tank developer, and a painting apparatus. The Camera Club a'so spon- sored a contest for the best picture of the year. The pictures from the contest are mounted in an album and will be left at Hononegah as a pictorial record of the school year 1940-41.

The comedy was entitled Uncle Cy Hits a New High and was very well presented to an enthusiastic audi- ence. The profits from the play help ed to take the Chiefs to their Happy Hunting Ground QWashington, D.C.J Mr. Root was a very capable coach of the play and he said that it was easy to coach such a talented cast. Herbert Brewer, as Uncle Cy, had the audience in hysterics from the opening lines until the end of the play. Mary Lou Liddle as Aunt Winona also did her bit toward mak- ing the play very funny. She was always at Uncle Cy's side, egging him to do bigger and better things. Her pretty niece, was played by Mabel Burton and the hero of the play was Leland Miller. After the hard work of monotonous rehearsals, learning parts, get- ting stage settings ready and arranging for programs, tickets, and ad- vertising it is satisfying to remember that the play was a huge success and that it helped the Seniors to achieve their goal in taking a trip to Washington .

BRAIN AND BRAWN SOCIETY The Brain and Brawn Society was organized in 1926 by Dr. James Ellis, when he was coach on Hononegah's faculty. Its purpose is to encourage scholarship, athletic ability and good citzenship. It gives special recognition to those who have achieved the highest ratings in any of these three fields. Each year the faculty chooses the most outstanding citizen of the Senior class to become a member of the Brain and Brawn Society, This year Herbert Brewer was chosen on the following points: 1. Obedience to law and order. 2. Interest in school work and activities. 3. Cooperation with teach ers and students. 4. Civic pride Qrespecting property rights of the school and members of the school.l 5. Attitudes towards classmates and teachers, 6. Loyalty. 7. Never by word or deed having brought disgrace to Hono- negah. Students who have an average of 9070 or more for four years of work become members of the Brain and Brawn Society. This year Robert Harnisch, Mary Lou Liddle, Herbert Brewer, Dorothy Lang, and Lila Staff became members for having a four year average of 90 or more. Athletes who make a major let ter in three sports in one year or who make four letters in the same sport in four years are eligible for the Brain ,and Brawn Society membership. Cliff Chamberlin, became a member by breaking the county track record. Lawrence Hobart, Gus George, Don Carter, and Dale Mc Master may became members if they make a letter in track this year, since they already have won Football and Basketball letters during 1940 and 1941. 40 HOME EC CLUB President ...... ....

They call this organization the Enthemis Club which means a scientific study of improving living conditions. They have an excellent club motto- Our ship sails in search of higher ideals. Home Ec Club has many aims and they seem to be making great headway in accomplishing them. Some of them are: to promote pleas- ant, wholesome social aifairsg to promote healthful girlhoodg to promote democracy in schoolg to develope personality, leadership, self - reliance, initiative, social poiseg and to combine educational, social and business responsibilites . They had a program made out for the whole year so they knew ex- actly what was to take place at each meeting. At the February meeting they had ,a Valentine party and exchang- ed valentines. Dou't you wish you were a member, boys? In April they had a Style Show and Tea for the mothers which proved to be a big suc- ess. Their ,active year was brought to a close with a picnic in May. TENNIS CLUB President ........ ...... L eRoy Dicks Secy. and Treas. . . . . . Cliff Chamberlin Sponsor ................ . . ........ Miss Rice The Tennis Club, with the aid of the eighth hour study hall which didn't seem to mind, worked hard 'all last fall and early spning to get tne courts in good condition. When these were completed the kids in the study hall didn't see why they couldn't go out and play tennis. Don't fret too much, your chancewill come! During the winter months the club sponsored ping-pong tourna- ments in which everyone was allow ed to take part. Leland Miller won the boys ping-pong tournament. Let's learn to play tennis so we, too, can take advantage of these new courts. 41 OPERETTA CAST Here is the cast of people who worked so hard to make our operetta a success, and it was a success, too.

Seniors were all in a dither about getting clothes for two pack- ed in one suitcase but they all managed fairly well. I wonder if any of them forgot their toothbrushes??? The Chiefs were pretty proud of the fact that they went to Wash- ington. We don't blame them do you ???? This is more of a trip any Senior Class has taken in the history of Hononegah. They left Rockton, Saturday, May 31, at 7:30 a. m. and arrived back home June 7. They bounced along over the trail to Washington .in Hononegah's covered wagon. The first night they lodged in a big tepee at Bucyrus, Ohio. The next night they stayed at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. There they visited the Gettysburg Cemetery where Lincoln gave his famous address. After jogging along for two and a half days the Chiefs finally ar- rived in the Promised Land. There they saw the Capitol, the White House and many other high points of inte' 'st. In one room in the Capitol they saw pictures of all the Presidents and their wives, there were also the dishes that each President used at his inaugural' banquet. All the girls were thrilled when they visited the naval academy at Annapolis. The boys kept a close watch on them though!! Everyone enjoyed v?siting the Smithsonian Institute . They saw Lindbergh's plane- the Spirit of St Louis, in which he crossed the At- lantic, Fulton's steamboat, the firsz cotton gin and many other inter esting things. They went through the Bureau of Pninting and Engraving and the F. B. I. Headquarters where the G-men are. The Chiefs were all tired out by the time they reached Mt. Vernon. Evidently traveling didn't agree with some of them! !! They were as eager to get back home as they were to get started, everyone agreeing on East-West-home is best. Everyone enjoyed the trip immensely and they hope the Seniors to come will have as much fun as the class of '41 had down Washington Way. 43 ARMY VS. NAVY Hail to the victors! Early in the school year, our annual magazine contest got under way with the final results showing the Squaws leading the Warriors by a score of S440 to 5413. Mavis Olson was Business Manager this year with Dorothy Lang and Pawn Shotliff as student leaders for the Squaws. LeRoy Dicks. and Herbert Brewer acted in the same capacity for the Warriors. Lila Baker served as General Secretary for the contest. Our Exe- cutive Secretary was Miss Munger. Each team was assisted by a chief. Mr. Root acted as commanding chief for the Warriors. Miss Rice gave orders to the Squaws. After seven days of grilling warfare, the combined tribes show- ed a total sales of 9'p853.75, a gain of S253 over last year. High salesmen were: Dorothy Lang and Herbert Brewer in their respective groups. Dot Lang s-old S547 worth of magazines receiving a radio and Herb sold S21 worth and was awarded a wrist watch. The sec- ond highest of each tribe, Annabelle Krupke and Maurice Long received watches, Annabelle sold S21 Worth of magazines and Maurice 822.50 The winning tribe received its reward when the Warriors gave a war-dance in honor of the Squaws with the Swing Kings of Beloit beating the tom-toms. The Chiefs fSeniorsJ sold the most magazines per person so they walked off with the S5 reward. Hats off to you. Chiefs! ! ! 44 WELCOME ALUMNI The Homecoming got off to a rip -roarin' start Friday, Oct. 19, with the biggest bonfire and snake dance Hononegah has ever had. Saturday the band gave the team a good send- off with some good snappy music and forming the letter H for both Harlem and Hononegah. It was a fast and exciting fight but the Warriors did not give up until Hono- negah had tied for first place in the North Six Conference. Everyone was eager to get to the dance that the Seniors and Ath- letic Club were sponsoing that night following the game. An airplane was zooming around the gym greeting everyone with words Welcome Alumni. Herb Brewer, Dawn Shotliff, Royce Diderich, Robert Harnish, Mabel Burton, and Dorothy Lang made up the Reception Committee with Mary Jo Osborne as chairman of the decorating committee. We all hope the Chiefs will be welcome back next year as 'alumni. HI SANTA' Santa Claus came to the lodge on December 20 with toys for all the Squaws and Warriors and a big doll for Miss Munger, One of our Warriors, Herb Brewer, wrote a three act play that was presented by Jim Clothier, Herb Brewer, Royce Diderich, and Bob Harnish. Mr, Gallup led the tribe in the singing of Christmas carols and Helen Black read a letter to Santa. Following this the whole tribe went into ,a war dance and danced the rest of the afternoon. We hope you are all good' so Santa will be back next year. AB AN OLD SPANISH CUSTOM A two act operetta was present ed by the Senior class on March 13th and 14th, 1941, under the direction of Mrs. Fay Root.

Do you ,have a hobby? Edwin Rowlands has a very interesting one. He collects autographs from all the famous people and movie stars, some of whom are Amelia Earhart, Chief Justice Hughes, Lily Pons, Shirley Temple, Walt Disney, and Paderewski. It seems as though he should be able to get almost anyone's auto- graph--he is 6 feet 4 inches tall!!! Edwin Rowlands was chosen The Most Interesting Speaker of the Year ' by 75 per cent of his audience at Hononegah. Bob Wood Bob Wood is considered one of the most brilliant cartoonist-enter tainers in Amenica. All his work is done in chalk. He drew a carricature of Donald Reimer riding a donkey. He also wrote long wordsupsidedown and backwards. He came to show us some of his fine work'on January 20, 1941. Reginald and Gladys Laubin Reginald and Gladys Laubin were right at home when they came to visit the Honolnegah tnibe on November 19, 1940. In 1934 Reginald and Gladys daynced before Chief One Bull fnephew of Sitting Bulll and his Sioux Indians. Chief One Bull adopted Regi- nald as his son because he was such an excellent interpreter of Indian life. One Bull said the Laubins knew more about Indian life, than do his cwn children, The Laubins showed us many gorgeous costumes and other proper- ties of the Indians. They wore some' of these costumes in their dances. They gave Indian sign language demonstrations and songs. They accom- panied themselves on a drum. We hope they enjoyed their visit here as much as we enjoyed having them. Roeland Van Cavel Another very interesting speaker was Roeland Van Cavel who came here on March 11, 1941. He presented a program on Life in Holland Roeland Nan Cavel came here from Holland when he was nineteen. He put himself through school without financial support from anyone. His chief ambttion is to obtain a Doctor's degree in sociology. He showed us how to make wooden shoes, sang songs .in Dutch, and did a clog dance in wooden shoes. We hope that someday we will have a chance to visit Holland and see all these things. 47 HERE IS THE MACK STAFF First row: Qleft to rightl Kermit Johnson, Lila Staff, Herbert Brewer, Miss Munger, D-ot Lang, Mabel Burton, Mavis Olson , Darlene Stultz, Lila Baker.
