' ' I Every effort is being put forth to forge the bonds of unity in th-is struggle to save democracy in the Americas. This unity has been strengthened through the building of the Pan American Highway and the close cgllaboration in our dealings with the Latin American Countries through the Good Neighbor Policy. ' I In our schools we are being taught the history of South American countries. In this way we are developing a better understanding of our neighbors and of what we as American citizens must do to see that de- mocracy is kept alive in the Western Hemisphere.

FUHEUIUHD Gradually we Seniors have become more serious as we came to rea- lize that all during the years we have spent in school we were being guided and taught the fundamentals that will make us good citizens of a democracy, and of service to our country, A great civilhation must have its roots in the soil of the past and yet the branches must shoot out into the skies of the future. Without the past our future lacks the security and motives necessary for a more noble achievement. This foundation of greatness is found in the lives of the fine leaders who have quickened and purified the national spirit of America. This nation looks to the faith of its youth and it is the birth of this national spirit in each student of the American schools that is the answer to democracy's survival. CUHTEHTS +1 Hdminishaiinn ff if Classes ff ff if Hthletics 'f 1' Social ff Features UUH SGHUUL Hllll THE LUHR EFFUHT It is only natural that every high school boy and girl -and every faculty member ask the question: What can I do to help in the all-out war effort ? Here maybe is part of the answer as far as our educa- tional institution is concerned. First of all, both the army and navy authorities are saying to the high schools of Illinois keep your boys and girls in school. Urge upon them the necessity of getting their high school education, and doing a good job where they are. Now- that is the highest type Of D2tI'i0t50 duty. We will use them later on when they are older and more mature. We want them to come to us with strong bodies, minds, and as well trained as is possible for high school boys and girls to be trained. So, in answer to that appeal, we are discouraging the enlistment cf boys and girls in the war effort forces, and we are trying to do all we can to do a good job while they are here in school. We are increasing our physical education facilities and are now having boys in all the physical education classes that meet five times a week instead of two. We are giving increased attention to our supplies and equipment in our sciences mathematics and shop because of the knowledge of these subjects has already shown up in our armed forces. Our girls have done a considerable amount of Red Cross Work. in- cluding the making of 65 pairs of paiamas. They are also doing a large amount of work in connection with the whole field of nutrition which, medical authorities claim is of tremendous importance. Our ship boys are making model planes for the navy and are being given instruction in the use of tools especially the lathe. that is vital in any war effort. i Each week our students purchase at least S35 worth of defense? stamps. ' Six of our faculty members are directly connected with the civilian defense organzation for the Village of Rockton. O. E. Loomis is Civil- ian Defense Coordinatorg Fay Root is the Director of Utilities, which- includes communications, light and powerg O. F. Walker is one of the firemeng Ruth Rice is in charge of nutritiong Isadore Munger is in charge of records in the Medical Departmentg and Donald Hicks is lead- er of Decontamination Squad. Later our faculty will play its part in the rationing of sugar in the registration for military service, and as the time goes on, noi doubt a hosthof additional services will be rendered by everyone here at Hono- nega . ..g.. THE HHIEHIGHS STHIID Ullllill The Americas are the hope of the world today. People in conquer- ed lands are looking to these two continents to defeat the gangster nations which threaten the freedom of the whole world. As long as there are strong democracies in existence there is hope in the hearts of conquered people that they too, may be free again and enjoy the pursuit of happiness . If the Americas should fail in their attempt to defend their continents this hope might die and then the world would indeed be a bleak place. Never before has it been so important that the two American conti- nents present to the rest of the world a united front to ward off invaders. The success of Pan-Amerieanism will owe much to the Good Neighbor policy created by the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This pc-licy, with Cordell Hull as its pilot and Sumner Wells as its organizer has done more in the past nine years to further good relationship with our Latin-American neighbors than all other attempts prior to 1933. As a matter of fact, if we look at a brief history of our relations with the other Americas we see some justification for their distrust of us. However, the Pan-American Canference at Montevideo. announced that no government may fear any intervention on the part of the United States under Roosevelt's administration . At a special conference at Bu- enos Aires in 1936, President Roosevelt was instrumental in converting the Monroe 'Doctrine into a collective pact. As a result of this change in policy on the part of the United States, the scepticism of most Latin Ameican countries has diminished and the outlook is a bright one for Pa'n-Americanism. The South American people are very much like us. They have the same spirit of friendliness and cooperation that was fostered in us with the development of the West. They have the same desire to do their share in ridding the world of its dictatorial powers as we have. Their country was built up much in the same way as ours. They were under the rule of kings at first but thev shook off this form of government and after some time established a democracy much like ours. It is true that in some of the small countries of South America there are small- pettv, dictatorial powers. but soon thev will be all gone. because South America sees the value and true worth of self government. The Americas are the hope of the world and they will not fail .in the great task that is before them! ' ..9.. UUUTH HHIJ DEHIUIIRHCU Some of our prominent seniors in expressing their opinions about de- mocracy as it applies to them as graduates of an American high school say: The youth of, America is receiving training in the public high schools to do their part for keeping democracy alive. Students are learn- ing to work together in harmony for the good of all rather than for self - ish purposes- Q Betty Leech The youth of today will make up the government of tomorrow. Where do these young people receive their training fonfuture government ser- vice? In the schools of America, they are taught the ideals and principles for which America stands. Arlene Johnson Years ago, our forefathers, broke through the wilderness and made their homes, brought up their children and built a democracy. Today, we, as the youth of America, have a new wilderness to conquer, It is a wil- derness of hate, selfishness and a greed for power. The best way to con- quer this black Wilderness is to take advantage .of each opportunity that is offered us for education which will serve us well in the future to bring happiness out of chaos. We must learn to keep happy, healthy. and phys- icallv and mentally fit so that we can Shape the world events t0 the ideals that a demoracy has. Geneva Russell Now, if never before, democracy is be.ing put to its most rigid test. It is in a hand-to-hand iight with Totalitarism. A fight to the finish! We, the youth of America, are being trained for a life in that democ- racy. Our tralnins courses are democratic in principal and purposeour schools are run as democracies, under the guidance of democratic leaders, We are not forced in school. to love democracy, but it comes natural tO' US' 9-S P90919 in T0'03l1'l13rian states now hope that some day they Will be able to Study, to W01'Sl1ip, and to live to their own liking. Jim Gilchrist Students of the public schools of America are allowed freedom -of speech in every class through group discussion. Because of this priv- ilege, fundameniials of democracy are learned. early by AmeY'1Q3n youth and the lessons thus learned ay-ep not going to be laid. aside without a fight to the end! D011 Cllkeman Students of America are the world leaders of the future and since they are being taught to conserve what they have, in the form of a precious heritage of democratic government, there should be no fear for the future, but a dauntless resolution to fight to the end for 3 democratic way of living. .-10...

Next Y ear it is quite possible that the athletic program may be car- tailed because of the lack of tires. As long as the present tires on oulr busses last there is no regulation concerning what the busses should be used for. However, when we get new tires from the rationing board, we will have no guarantee that those tires be used for nothing except carry- ing students and teachers to and from school. This means that athletic trips, field excursions, Senior jaunts, and the like will be eliminated. The individuals in each English class have been increasing their lib- raries by belonging to the Students Book Guild. One hundred and three students are purchasing books everymonth. In the plan, books, which are considered classics, are to be sold to the students for thirty cents each. At the end of four months. if the student has purchased one book a month he receives one bonus book free. In thli-s way students become interested, in good books and have a chance to own them at alow cost. The Industrial Arts Department has been doing fine work this year, and it is doing something which is definitely aiding the war effort. Planes are being constructed according to plans and specifications, furnished by the Bureau of Aeronautics. They had to be made on an exact scale of 1 to 72. By studying the model through a standard ring sight used on aerial gun models, the pilot learns identity and range. The planes had to be built very accurately before they were shipped to the navy department where they had to be inspected by corps of capable men who vouched for their accuracy. Three new sewing machines were purchased last fall. One of them was a new Singer and two were Free sewing machines, so now the girls can really zip around the seams-an attachmenb for making button- holes was also purchased this year. -12-. UJE UHHHGE llIIlH THE llIllES! Each year the school organization changes somewhat and this year was no exception. W-ith a larger enrollment than ever before and heavier loads for the teachers it was necessary to hire two part time teachers to help out. Two former science teachers were hired Mrs, Mabel Lafiin and Mrs. Vera Root. Mrs. Lafiin taught girls' Physical Education and Mrs. Root had classes in English III and IV. During the summer vacation last year the classrooms were redecor- ated in light green and the auditorium was repaired. The school present- ed a very pleasing appearance when classes took up in the fall. Physical Education for both boys and girls has been stressed more than usual this year. In a national emergency fit is necessary that the physical condition of students be excellent. Exercise, diet, and proper Iiving have been stressed in all classes and Physical Education is com- pulsory for graduation. On account of the war, is was decided to have Saturday school dur- ing January and February so that farm students would be able to help on the farms during the spring. It was also decided to have half hour noon periods so that school would be dismissed at 2:35 P. M, and farm students would get home sooner, in the afternoon. With a short noon period it was impossible lo have class and club meetings during the noon recessg and it was then necessary to add an activity period or ninth hour to Tuesday and Thursday's class schedule. This gave students ample time to do club work on two days a week dur- ing the 9th hour. The ninth hour for detention purposes was dispensed with when the short noon hour became effective and a system of demerits was estab- lish. When a student receives five demerits he is automatically sus- pended from sch-ool until such time as one or both parents accompany him back to have him reinstated. ..13... HUIlUIlEl3HH'S FIHHHCIHL SITUHTIUII The school year 1941-42 finds our high school in financial distress. Even though there is 359,000 or more in the building fund account. schools of Illinois must keep two seperate accounts, one for building pur- poses, and the other for educatio.nal. This situation has been caused by two things. First, a decrease in the assessed valuation of property by over a million dollars, which means that the tax money we can receive! has been cut from nearly S40 000 to 322000. Second, a law recently passed by the General Assembly imposed a heavy fine on a township treasurer if money is taken from one account and put into another. Since 1932 when our maximum legal levy in the educational fund reached Sl. we have been unable to receive enough money in the educational fund to operate the school, and so have been taking it from the building fund. The law, above mentioned, stopped that practice, and now the educa- tional fund is empty. If the high standards of the school are to be maintained, the only way out is to somehow or other increase the tax money that can come in to the fund on the one hand, and cut expenses on the other. Expenses will be cut. but the only way to increase the income is to refer it to the people of the district, who some time in the spring, will vote on whether or not to give the Board of Education the power to levy 31.50 for the educational fund, instead of the 51.00. If this power is granted the building fund can be eliminated, and enough money can be brought in to make it possible to haul all the youngsters who live a mile and a half or more away from the building within the boundaries Cf the district- to and from school. If the tax levy cannot be increased, Hononegah will face the same situation as Rockford did namely it will probably be forced to close its doors for two months during the school year 1942-1943. In addition to that the whole program will have to be radically curtailed, and the edu- cational opportunities of the pupils and District 207 be limited to a very marked degree. O. E. LOOMIS ..14-.

UNITED llIE SlHlIlJ As seniors in the class of 1942 perhaps we appreciate more fully than other classes of more tranquill years, the meaning of democracy and the heritage of American freedom that we have received from our ancestors, our parents, and our life in the American schools, We are de- termined that we shall keep faith with this great gift and that our lives shall be dedicated to the American ideal, so that it shall continue to stand high among the creeds of the world. The Class of 1942 THE HIIIEHICHWS CREED I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governedg a democracy in a republicg a soverign na- tion of many soverign statesg a perfect union, one and inseparableg estab- lished upon those principles of freedom, equality just-ice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I there- fore, believe it is my duty to my country to love itg to support its consti- tution: to obey its laws: to respect its flag: and to defend it against all enemies.

The first year we elected Don Baker as presidentg Jim Gilchrist as vice-pres-identg and Jayne Thayer as secretary and treasurer to lead us through the first and most difiicult year of our high school life. Miss Evelyn Dale was our sponosr, As timid sophomores, we were brought into the lime-light under the leadership of president, Don Clik emang vice president, Don Vincentg secretary, Jo Gummowg and treasur er, Beryl Anderson, Miss Brauer was our sponsor during the second year. The initiation of the greenies was one of the most enjoyable events of the year since we got sweet revenge for what had been done to us the year before. After struggling through two hard years we finally became known as sophisticated Juniors, under the fine leadership of Mr. Walker. For class ofiiciers we chose: President, Jim Gilchristg vice-president, Don Bakerg and secretary and treasurer- Barbara McKibben. Having proved that we were capable of working together, we put on the Junior-Senior Prom with much gusto, the theme being Star Dust, We also gave the Seniors a farewell banquet at Sch:-om's in Rockford and lingered after it was over to bid the Sen-iors farewell. In the fall of '41, having attained the coveted title of Seniors, we came back to finish our high school education. We put on a fine Senior play and did many other inte-resting things during our last year. So, although we find our Senior davs are busy ones and filled with joy, we also found that there were duties to be assumed to keep the Purple and Gold on top. As the graduating class of 1942, we are sorry to leave Hononegah but we shall always remember the happy times we had here. It is with regret that we say good-bye to our Alma Mater. -17- , IUE IUURH HIIU RECEIVE HUIIURS Valedictorian ............ ............ A rlene Johnson Salutatorian ........ .... D onald Baker D. A.

To us it seemed that everyone mad-e a special effort to remind us of this fact for When we met any upper classmen he would say Hi frosh or, There goes another green freshie . Our most trying day was the one of initiation. We were under the impression that we were no longer kids but it seemed that everyone at Hononegah wished to see us as we used to be, Consequently, on the night of initiation we dressed as ,boys and girls in first grade with short dresses. big hair bows, and other childish equipment. We then organized our class and chose as officers: president, Glenn Fisherg vice-president, Eldon Cootsg and secretary- treasurer, Betty White. Mr. Hicks became our class advisor. During the year we had a class get together. ,It might have been termed a hard times party for everyone came dre-ssed as a beggar. The ones most appropriately dressed for the occasion were Wendall Roth and Leone Stultz. Glenn Fisher and Richard Porterfield won prizes for singinig at the District Vocal Con- test. Richard Porterfield was chosen the best boy soprano in the National Contest. To us our freshmen year seemed very successful. In 1940, we were back as sophomore-s. We chose these ofiiceirs to lead us: president, Victor Ellisg vice-president, Guy Hopkinsg and secre- tary-treasurer, Edna Cox. We retained our class advisor of the pre- vious Ayear, Mr. Hicks. We had one big time during our sophomore year: the night we initiated the freshmen. Two of our classmates, Blanche Bell and Glenn Fisher, were the leading characters in the operetta, An Old Spanish Custom presented in the spring of 1941. In the fall of 1941 we returned for our third year of instruction and fun at H-ononegah. As you see Mr. Hicks, our sponsor since our fresh- men days was with us again. To show our spirit for the slogan All Out for National Defense we brought in 2940 pounds of paper and won a S5 prize which was of- fered to the class .selling the largest amount. of paper. .-24... JUIIIUHS LEHD SUCIHL llfi On March,19 and 20 some of our talented actors and actresses put on a 'stage performance called The Cuckoo's Nest . It was very sccess- ful under the direction of Mr. Hicks and Mrs. Root, who took over the directing of the play when Mr. I-Picks became ill. Another big event was the Junior-Senior prom held April 25. The decoration committee was made up Glenn Fisher, Theresa Smith. Eve- lyn Trussell, and Robert Lawhorn and they chose as the theme Ice- land , The gym was very beautifully decorated to represent a ,large ice cave. Wendell Roth, Victor Ellis, and Maurice Long were on the orches- tra committee. The Junior-Senior banquet held in May, as a farewell to the sen- iors, was a very successful and enjoyable gathering. Looking over our record we find we have had three very successful years of working together, and next year we will be ready to take on the decisive roll of dignified seniors and make plans for a trip which is the goal we are working hard to reach. We will pass'bn the roll of Juniors to the Sophomores who will do their bit in social life and learn to carry on the work that is required to put on a prom, junior-senior banquet, and a play which all help indi- viduals to became be'tter citizens in a democratic country after leaving school. -25- SllPH'S 6R0llI UP Sponsor ...... . . .

We landed as Freshmen in Hononegah, September 1940 The first few days were hectic ones for we got lost as most freshmen do and thus we provided some fun for the others in the school. We soon got settled but then came the initiation where more laughs were created at our expense. The first year we chose as our leaders: president, Ellen Shieldsg vice-president, Dick Shieldsg and secretary - treasurer, Gerald Snyder. Miss Larson, our class advisor, left at the middle' of the year and then Mrs. Baramore filled the vacancy. Time marched on! 1941! We are no longer green Freshies but full- iledged Scphomores. We got lots of fun out of initiating the Freshmen. We also had a Sophomore party tlris year. On March 6 we presented a movie, Heroes of the Alamo . The pub- lic was invited and we made a profit of 9'p11.75. Next year we plan on taking the role of sophisticated Juniors and carry out the plan of financing a 'trip to New York City which we have set as our goal during our Senior year. -26-- Firsi Row: Second Row : Third Row: Fourth Row : Fifth Row: Sixth Row: Last Row : Seated : Standing : Back Row: Hll THE ITHEETTIEST Francis Mineff, George Brayton, James Newell, Arlene Pfaif, John Thiel, Richard Dicks, LaVern Fuhrer, Richard Morris Howard Carter Mr. Root.

M r Root This fall we were glad to welcome to Hononegah a large class of nice little, green Freshies. It was the largest class ever to enter Hono- negah. The first few days were trying ones for the newcomers, but since they are an intelligent group, they soon became accustomed to the rules and regulations of the school and adjusted themselves to the school routine. At first, the other students razzed the Freshies. but the Freshmen were such good sports about it that it didn't last long after the upper-classmen found out that they could take it. The main event of the fall season, for the Freshmen, was their ini- tiation and the Sophomores really put them through a pretty stiff pro- gram of stunts. After initiation they were full-fledged members of Ho- nonegah's student body. Some of the members of the class played on the B football, team, others became active in clubs and other school ac- tivities. When the basketball season came along a star was found among the Freshmen. John Thiel, who was high point man of the B basketball team. The girls not to be outdone by the boys joined the G. A. A. and were among those who won awards in that organization. On the whole the Freshmen have many outstanding members who show promise of being an exceptional class. During the second semester the Freshmen put on a party and those who did not know how to dance were taught to trip the light fantastic at that time . The whole school will be watching this class to see what they do next year and what plans they make for their Junior and Senior years Perhaps they will take a trip to Mars or some other planet, who knows? -23- CUHCH llllllll llllllllfll lncthall Captain l94l-2 Den Baker Captain elect i942-3 leclell Dickerson Basketball Captain l94l-2 llnn Baker Captain elect i942-3 Cup Hopkins .axe ,T mfg '31 HTHLETIBS BUILD EHHHHBTER U In this great struggle which we are facing in defending the Ameri- cas, we need people who have the winning spirit and who can fight a hard battle against great odds and never give up until victory is won, In our everyday life we face confiicts which build our characters. In everything we do, we need courage, which can best be developed through conflict, In our sports and tournaments we attach ourselves to the idea of winning and' in this way indivliduals learn to striveg striving until the goal is reached. If the winning spirit were removed from all games the spirit of the game would be dead. In these games sportsmanship and courage are shown and the games become an inspiration to everyone.

Although they didn't defend their status as Confer- ence Champions, to the point of holding their crown, they conquered two of their five conference foes and tied another, putting them in 3rd place in the North Six Conference Race which was tougher this year than in the other two years cf its existence. All six schools of the conference won their initial game from schools that were superior in enrollment . Our gridiron eleven took their first win from Fort Atkinson. They continued their valient fighting through the season, up to the- last rous- ing defeat of South Beloit in the ann ual game of the yearn- This Season of courageous fighting was directed by the able coach of the team, Onlin Walker. Walk started with a green team, only four of whom had seen action on a Hononegah varsity team. and turned them ,into a great offen- sive football team, that kept plugging even though the going was tough.

Hononegah's gridiron warriors traveled to Fort Atkinson to come out of their first game victorious, trimming the host 19 to 7. Dick Warren made the first touchdown off tackleg Lonkou- ski made the second and Clikeman the third. I MARENGO Hononegah's conference debut with Marengo was in the form of a slight let-down after the trouncing they gave the Fort, as the score was a deadlock of 6 to 6. Lonkouski dQid his deed in making the one and only touchdown for our side. HARVARD Journeying to'Harvard to be shut out by a defeat of 32 to 20 was a bit hard to take because Hononegah's team has not been defeated for the last two years. Harlem Olmstead has been coming into the limelighha with his splendid work. HARLEM t Going to Harlem with little confidence, in the end the army of war- riors did their bit by pulling down a score of 32 to 14. H WINNEBAGO Hononegah witnesses a sad Homecoming game The gridiron eleven put forth all their efforts only to b'e defeated by a score of 19 to 14. Pre- ious record of games with Winnebago have been victorious ones. BELOIT QB, Beloit B team met our team at Hononegah in ,a deadlock batltle of a tie 0 to 0. Several times both teams ,were in scoring positions but failed to make a touchdown. , SOUTH BELOIT The results of this game were very satisfactory to us since we won with a score of 26 to 6. Before the game ended our foes, as well as our own men were covered with a coating of mud. Cox with his brilliant running and excellent pass snagging . scored three touchdowns. lHE VHLIHIIT FIGHTERS Every school has awards to give for active participation in 3 major sport. At Hononegah an H emblem is given to each boy who plays in 60W of the quarters. Thirteen boys won these rewards this year. Thir- teen maybe unlucky to the superstious, but these boys weren't- super- stious. 'Don Baker-Senior- Bake was the captain and quarterback. He drove unusually hard when carrying the ball and his passing was very accurate. Don won an honorable mention award on the All State Football Team. Don Clikeman-Senior-Don could be nick-named sticky fingers . for his excellent pass receiving, Don played left end and each time he was called to play he did his best. Bill Cox-Junior-It took a fast man to stop Bill when he was to be stopped Bill played wingback, doing his shove-off ball carrying and pass- receiving. Ledell Dickerson -Iunior-- 'Bui showed his aggressiveness when it came to defensive play. Very few got by him when he stopped them they stayed stopped. He was elected next year's captain. Bud played fullback and right end. Glenn Fisher-Junior-This was 'Fisher's first year on the var- sity, but nevertheless he did his share of blocking and tackling. Glenn played guard. Dick Dwyer-Junior-A determined player when it came to block- ing and tacklingg Dick did his share. He played tackle. Jim Gilchrist-Senior--One of our valuable players who played running guard. Did a fine job of blocking. Jim used his splendid judge- ment and determinaton in every move he made. Guy Hopkins-Junior- Hop will prove valuable next year with his passing and ball carrying. Guy played in the backiield where he showed his excellence in pass defense. Bfob Lawhorn-Junior-a newcomer who adequately showed his blocking and tackling. Bob will be a man to rely on for next year. He played in the tackle position. Bill Lonkouski-Senior- A veteran who plunged through the line for first downs many a time. On defense he got his man. Bill played fullback. Don Olds-Sophomore-One of the youngest on this team and should prove very valuable in the future. Don did his share of ball carrying and showed his ability on pass defense. He played in the backfield. Harlan Olmstead-Senior-A newcomer to Hononegah who had never played football before. He certainly proved his ability at right end and perhaps the fastest on the team Jack Zahn-Sophomore-There is one position on the team where one is never heard of but without him the game couldn't go on that is the center position. Jack's passes were accurate. He should be a reliable man for future teams. ,33- x Q fy 'fl' C3 C3-'Hg 5 ifc Seated : Second Row: Back Row: GHIDIRUH UIHRRIURS fLeft to rightj Rodney Baptist, Ledell Dickerson, Richard Dwyer, William Lonkouski, Donald Baker, Donald Clike- man, Harlan Olmstead, Donald Vincent, William Cox, James Barber.

S. didn't always Win, but the purple quintet never gave up. No matter what the score was, or, who was ahead, the team never stopped fighting. Even when the odds looked like mountains against them, they kept on working. This team is considered to be a most courageous group of players. This season started with a thriller-diller when we played Durand who won the game in the last minfutes of play. Our team then played another close. game here, with Winnebago, who won by a very small margin. From then on the odds mounted against our team higher and higher, but they always did their best no matter what the outcome was. The team defeated Marengo in a game on Marengo's own floor. This game was full of excitement ending in an over-heated argument. The season ended by a loss to Harvard in the District tournament at Belvidere.

Hononegah gives an H to athletes. The requirements for receiving this emblem are to play in at least 60 percent of the quarters during the season. The following boys won H's for basketball: Don Baker, Senior forward, who was chosen honorary captain and the most valuable player for the 41-42 season, is truly a boy Honone- gah will miss. Don Clikeman, another Senior worthy of much praise. Clike play- ed center and was second most valuable. Bill Lonkouski, a Senior, who ably filled one of the guard positions and was a boon to the team with his high spirits. Dale Scott: also a Senior, played opposite Baker at the forward position. Dale's good eye for the basket tallied many a point, Harlan Olmstead, a newcomer and a Senior this year, filled in as a guard with his lightning speed. Guy Hopkins, a Junior and captain-elect for next year. Hop played an excellent season at guard and was remarkably cool and calm when the going was tough. Don Olds, an up and coming Sophomore played forward. Don came up mid-season and tallied many a basket. Another player who should be mentioned here, who didn't receive an H due to the fact that he only started school at H. C. H. S. at the beginning of the second semester, is Wes Reed. Wes came to us as a Sophomore guard from Waukesha,Wis., a boy who's going places. -36.. B TEHHI UH GUHHD Team Date Where They HCHS Durand . . . . .Nov. 25 Here 30 36 Alumni ..........

Hll 0Ul FUR TBHBH The Government at Washington urges all youth to keep in good physical condition and one way to do this is to participate in track. Al- though Hononegah's track squad was without its 0ne man track team , Cliff Chamberlain, who placed third in the pole vault at the State Track last year, it had many hopefuls to depend upon. There was only one major letter winner back, Donald Baker, and a few minor letter winners. The outstanding events in the season were the Palatine Relays and the North Six Conference meet. Those who participated in these events were: Donald Baker, Bill Lonkouski Harlan Olmstead, Guerdon Reed, Bill Bean, Don Clikeman, Howard Goldy, Jim Gilchrist, Maurice Long, Robert Lawhorn, Don Olds, Marvin Bloomberg, and Jack Zahn.

EVEHUUIIE lllll FUR IHTRH-IHURHLS There are always many who aren't able to make the varsity squads in the various sports so there are .intra-murals, or between class sports for them to participate in. This year the boys and girls gym classes had basketball tournaments between the classes in their respective groups. They proved very interesting and added to the enjoyment of physical education. Near the end of the year the boys on the varsitiy squad sponsored a intra-class tournament for the girls as well as boys: In this contest the Senior boys were victors and the Junior girls won over the Senior girls for the championship.. During the basketball season there were free-throw and basket shooting tournaments. When our noon hour was cut in half time was found at noon and after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays to play these tournaments. Ping-pong was perhaps the most popular of the indoor sports. Five different tournaments took place among the boys and girls to keep 'in- terest in this sport more intense. Outstanding players among the girls were Bette Braun and Lydia Rowley, and among the boys D-on Clikeman and Wesley Reed. When the weather became so it was possible to go outside base-ball and shuffle-board entered into the sports lime light. The girls and boys played class games to determine the baseball champs. On our two outdoor shuffle-board courts tournaments were held among the boys and girls. With as many sports as this to enjoy, very few had trouble in finding something they could excell at and participate in for recreation. -39-. G. H. H. HCTIVITIES Advisor .......

This is the introduction that most of us had to the Girls Athletic Association, as we heard Mrs. Laflin make those commands to all sports-minded girls this year. Al- though the G. A. A. is -one of the newest organizations at Hononegah, it has the enthusiastic support of nearly one hundred members. Some of the most outstanding events of the year were sponsored by G. A. A. They were responsible for the Christmas party. the basket- ball tournament for girls. the carnival dance, good posture week and a special assembly for girl athletes. The inter-mural tournament for basketball girls was held in Febru- ary and the Juniors won over the Seniors in the final game, to become school champions for 1942, In March a banquet was given to honor the girls who played on the winning Junior team. In January, five girls from Hononegah went to a basketball clinic at Freeport. There they spent the whole day learning more about basket- ball rules and how to referee basktball games. During the spring months the girls sponsored tournaments in base- ball tennis, and volley ball. Many girls did hiking for extra G. A. A. points. A play day was held at Harvard and one girl from each class was privileged to attend that event. Good posture week was sponsored by the G. A. A. and Beryl Ander- son won the final award as having better posture than any other girl in school. The G. A. A. sponsored a Carnival dance which was a huge success. All of the familiar side-shows were there. plus some highly original ones. The girls of Hononegah entered the State Telegraphic Basketball Tournament this year. Baskets were shot at from different positions on the floor and the results were telegraphed to the state organization where they were tabulated with the results from other schools. The G. A. A. has had a very successful and interesting year and is maknng plans for next year. -40- HIITIVITIES Stufent Conrail llatinal Hum: Sacietu Bra and B'aum Bari and lI'1orus Indaa Sta'f mana Sta?

Our social system preserves freedom of opportunity for the individual to enjoy the fruits of his accom- plishments. Our schools are playing a vital role in shaping the social lives of our future generations. We are offered the chance to take part in many forms of social life which will give us a well-rounded education and tends to develop character. 'Entertainment is one of the powerful forces that holds society to- gether and is apparently as necessary to life as labor itself.

Phyllis Berg The Student Council is a very active group Of people, who are Chosen by the different classes, to take charge of student government of the school. They strive to create a great interest in school affairs and to ex- tend higher principles of school citizenship from the school to the com- munity. ' The Council is affiliated with NorLhwestern District of the Illinois As- sociation of Student Councils. Donald Baker who is president of Ho- nonegah's Student Council, is also District President for the i year 1941-42, Each year a district meeting is held at one school which is chosen to be the host school. At these meetings discussion groups ex- change ideas on student government and student activities in school. The members of the Student Council who at.end these meetings always COHIG back to Hononeeah GHthUSiaStic over the ideas they have acquired This year the Student Council spcnsored a Senior Day , an idea that was received at a district convention The Seniors took the entire re- sponsibility of running the school on that day. Students took the places off the teachers, principal, janitor and office girls. In some cases where regular teachers have a very heavy schedule it took two Seniors to do the work. During the day a fire drill was held and the student teachers had the responsibility of seeing that all students left the building during the alarm period. The Senior Day was S0 successful .that probab- ly it will become the custom to have one every year and give the Seniors a taste off the great amount of work than is necessary to run school smoothly. Another activity which was Spot sored by the Student Council was the Collection of waste paper to help in the defense effort. A contest be- tween, the classes was held and a prize of 315 was Offered to the C1353 that collected the greatest amount of Old papgr. The Noon-Time activities are sp nsored by the Student Council and students take charge of the gym- game room and the dancing room. Tournaments were arranged for ping-pong and basket-throwing and these tournaments were played off during noon hours. The Student Council make out a schedule for the use of the gymnasium so that the boys and girls would get equal chances to use it at noon, ..43- IlHlIllIlHl HUHUR SUIIIHU Hononegah is a member of the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools. Because of this, we have a charter in the National Honor Society. This Society is organized to create an enthu- siasm for scholarshipg to stimulate a desire to render serviceg to pro- mote leadershipg and to develope character in high school students. An impressive assembly program was held in March to initiate seven new members into this national organization. These seniors were Donald Baker Katherine Dahle, James Gilchrist, Arlene Johnson, Bar- bara McKibben and Jean Scott. Four faculty members represented the principles of the organization. Mrs. Lafiin represented characterg Miss Munger-leadershipg Mrs. Root-scholarshipg Mr. Root-serviceg Mrs. Northrop was the sponsor and Miss Rice the torchbearer. Mr. Loomis, the principal of our school gave significant remarks and welcomed the! new members into this society. To close the program, Mr. Gallup led the student body in singing God Bless America and the chorus also sang a number. This program was enjoyed by the entire student body and congratulations were given to the seven new members. BRHIH Hllll BRHLUII SUCIETU The purpose of the Brain and Brawn Socitey is to encourage good citizenship, athletic ability and scholarship. Dr. James C. Ellis organ- ized it when he was coach at Hononegah. It gives special recognition to those who have achieved the highest rating in any of these three fields. This year the faculty chose Donald Baker to become a member of the Brain and Brawn Society as the most outstanding citizen of the Senior Class. Athletes, by making a major letter in three sports in one year, or by making a letter in the same sport for four consecutive years may be- come members of this society. Donald Baker became a member for mak- ing three letters during his Junior year.. If these boys make a letter in track this year they will become members since they have already made football and basketball letters during the 1941-42 season: William Lon- kouski. Donald Clikeman, and Harlan Olmstead. All members are chosen on the following points: obedience to law and orderg interest in school worki and activitiesg co-operation with the teachers and students: civic prideg attitude toward classmates and teachersg loyaltyg and never, by word or deed, having brought disgrace to Hononegah.

That was Hononegah's Band practicing for one of the many public appearances that they have made during the year. Ever striving to do better work, the members of the band have improved a great deal during the year. The enrollment has increased to thirty-eight members and the instrumentation is now com- plete. Mr. Gallup, the capable director, has added hard work to skill in bringing up the standards of the band, in the two years that it has been under his leadership. This year the young musicians have played a wider variety of num- bers than before. Novelty numbers. classical music, military marches, and even jazz and swing music were taken in their stride because it is recognized that fine music can be any one of the kinds given in that list. During January, the band put on its annual concert for the public and with the aid of. the chorus gave a program that won much praise from the audience. The band has also appeared at pep assemblies as- sembly programs, -in the District Contest at Freeport and at the gradua- tion exercises. As a reward for fine Work all during the year mem- bers were treated to a trip to Chicago in May, which made the personnel of the band resolve to come back to school next year and play in the band again. .-45..

Sharley Fuller Librarian .............................. Marion Tomlinson If some stranger from a war-torn country should chance to come to Hononegah High School during chorus rehearsal he would be delighted at the sweet music coming from the throats of rows of brightly dressed, fresh-faced boys and girls. The blended sounds of forty-two student voices seems far from the war and strife that abounds in the world today. The chorus, this year, was outstanding in numbers and in ability. This group is under the direction of Mr. Gallup and has enjoyed a very worth-while and active year. Each student who attended chorus prac- tice regularly for the whole year received three-fourths of an academic credit for that work. The repertoire of this year's chorus was large and varied and rang-ed from the classics to modern songs written by leaders of today in choral music. Noble Cain arranged many of the songs sung by the ch-orus and wrofte several others. By studying many types of music the members of the chorus grew in music appreciation as well as in performing skill.. At the Winter Festival several numbers were given by the chorus. The audience responded to these numbers and showed their appreciation for the skill and feeling that the ch-orus used in singing several lovely songs. On March 15 a District Contest for High School Choruses was held at Freeport. Four outstanding members of Hononegah's chorus took part in this event. These people were. Glenn Fisher, Wesley Reed Helen Sharp and Richard Porterfield. All of these students were praised by the judges as being well-trained and expressing themselves well through their songs. The year 1941-42 has brought great improvement to Hononegah's chorus and the members have worked hard to show that practice makes perfect. 146.

Wendall Roth, as accompanist for the chorus did a fine piece of work and was well received as soloist of the evening. The first number on the program was the Star-Spangled Banner and this put the audience in a mood for the three military marches that followed: The Champions , Hononegah's Victory March and Pre- cis-ion. Glenn Fisher and Helen Sharp delighted the audience with two duets The Indian Love Call and The Lord's Prayer. They received an encore. A brass quartet played two well known songs- Whispering Hope and We Meet Again Tonight Boys . The people in this quartet were: Guy Hopkins, Leonard Johnson. Arlene Pfaff and Jim Gilchrist. The chorus presented two selections My Dream is of An Island Place and On the Road to Romany ' and showed much skill -in follow- ir' the direction of Mr. Gallup. The high point of the evening was reached during the last part of the festival. A Ragtime Wedding written by Paul Yoder was given by the band with five members panto mining during the mus-ical story. Katherine Dahle, as the bride was wedded to Wendall Roth. the groom by Barbara McKibben, the minister. Albert Gummow gave the bride away and Glenn Fisher was the narrator. This clever comedy number received much applause from the audience. The program ended as it began on a patriotic note with the band and chorus joined in the playing and singing of I Am An American . The whole program showed much skill and the audience seemed well pleased with the showing made by Hononegah's band and chorus. ..48... l1lHOH, BRHHDIHW' SEIIIUH PLHU A hilarious comedy of many complications was given by the Seniors April 23 and 24.

Under the expert coaching of Mr. Hicks these talented Juniors presented a comedy in three acts. This hilarious play was called The Cuckoo's Nest. This comedy is the story of Virginia, a romantic young lady who striv- es to be popular with everyone she meets, especially boys. A famous cp- era singer wants very much to meet Virginia's aunt and to get a book- ing to sing in her home town. Virginia's two friends, Jane and Polly, be- lieve that she has planned to impersonate the singer. Virginia finally learns of the stars visit and also asks a man to call on her in the guise of the celebrated singer. All the so-called singers call at Virginia's home in a great moment of embarrassment and excitment. Elizabeth the maid. adds a great deal of entertainment to this comedy, The play cast were the following: Theresa Smith Jane Dean ........................ ..... .

Among the differentorganizations of which The Indian is a member, are the following: The National Scholastic Publication Association, which sends out a Roto section once a month for distribution with the paper:The Na- tional Duplicated Press Association which offers its criticisms and sug- gestionsg and the Quill and Scroll. which also helps in important im- provements. ' This year's staff did a fine job in improving the paper almost to the point of perfection. This staff is as follows: Barbara McKibben-Editorg Joan Cannell-Associateg Jim Gilchrist-Sportsg Edna Cox-Featuresg Theresa Smith-Socialg Darlen Olson-Exchangesg Emi 'Dahlgren and Bette Braun-Artists. Reporters-Doris Knapp, Glenn Fisher Jack Zahn, Jo Gummow. Betty Belshaw and Helen Sharp. Typists- Sharlev Fuller, Betty Leech, Willa Jean Faust. Jean Scott, Mildred Redieske and Virginia Dixon. Miss Munger was a very competent and helpful advisor. Joan Cannell became Editor-in-Chief during the last six weeks so that she can take over next year. A Junior staff was also broken in so that they will get some experience. Important feature issues during the season 1941-42 were the anni- versary issue in which a replica of the first Indian was given out to contrast with the present-day issue. The first one was a hectographed issue and different improvem'nts were noticeable. It was dated Jan, 14. 1940. Also enjoyment throughout the school was the April Fool Indian. All write-ups were along the April Fool line and we had a great many laughs over it. Homecoming brought us an issue printed with purple ink on gold paper-very attractive, indeed! Then came Christmas! Emil Dahgren drew a lovely cover for the paper which was printed with red ink on green paper. The issue devoted to the graduating class was also very good. A thousand sheets of two different pages were entered in the 1942 Idea Book and our paper offered some suggstions which we believe will be helpful td many other schools in publishing their papers . All in all, the staff feels that they have had a good year of Indi- ans and everyone will be watching and waiting for next year's copies. ...51.. HIHCH Slllff Faculty Advisor ....

Each year the staff tries to have a better annual than has been pub- lished before. This year, for the first time, the staff decided to solicit advertisements which enabled us to have more color in the Mack. Itg is chiefly up to the staff to do the ,work necessary to publishing the Mack, but it is an all-student project and members of all of the classes at Hononegah offer contributions by offering suggestions, aiding staff members, reporting for pictures and by purchasing books through the Student Activity Ticket. We have chosen Pan Americanism as your theme, and we believe that we should become more conscious of our relations with South America. Our deepest and sincere apprecation goes to ouriadvisor, Miss Mun- ger, for contributing in every way in the making of this annual. ..52...

T It has been the custom for several years at-Hononegah to have bank- ing once a week. This year there has been a regular half hour banking period each Tuesday morning. At this time students make depos-its of the money they have saved during the week. These deposits are then taken to Beloit and put in the Beloit Savings Bank. Permanent savings are, of course, the object of school banking. but saving for spending is just as important a thing to learn. During the year there are many things that high school students need money for at school and this year a savings system has been worked out whereby the school paper, the annual admission to football and basketball games, admission to assembly programs and to the band concert could be managed for the sum of ten cents a week. A student activity ticketi was given to each student and by paying a total of 53.50 or about ten cents a week during the school year all of the above things would be paid for. More students were thus able to attend games. take the annual and school paper and to participate more fully in the school activities. By saving a small sum each week the students were helped to acquire the habit of saving for worthwhile spending. ' After the United States entered the World War, ever student at Hononegah wondered what he or she could do to help win the war. Government officials sent out requests to high school students that they stay in school and study hard so that they would be prepared to take their places as good citizens of the future. The government also suggested that by buying Defense Stamps and Bonds the high school students could help do their bit. During the banking hour each week, these stamps were sold and many students owned bonds before the end of the year. ...54-. Hllfllf Ellllllllllllli GIRLS EHTHUSIRHSTIC!

The cabinet members were: Miss Munger and Mesdames Robert Rassmussen, Marshall Northrop. Faye Root Onluin Walker, Donald Hicks, Clifford Ellis: Ralph Hopkins Wayne Liddle, Lyle Manley and the ofiicers of the club. The cabinet met every two weeks to make plans for the club. The objective of the organization is to provide good wholesome fun and inspiration for all girls interested in home making. The programs planned by the committee with the help of the cabinet proved to be very interesting. At one meeting, Mrs. Nichols, a trained nurse and former superintendent of a hospital, gave the girls a talk on nursing as a career. Miss Connie Tremulis, who owns her own fioral shop in Rockford, gave a talk on flower arrangements at another meeting. Miss Eleanor Truman, a beauty operator, talked about personal grooming at a noon meeting. Miss Janet Sabin, Home Economics Director of the Wisconsin Power and Light Company in Beloit, talked to the girls about diets in National Defense. The members of the club had a Hobo Day during the spring and on that day the girls earned money by volunteering to do work for women in their neighborhoods. The money thus earned will be used to send delegates to a Home Economics camp during the summer. In April the girls were hostesses to their mothers at a Mother and Daughter Banquet, which was followed by a Style Show of clothing which had been made in the Home Economics classes. On the whole, the Home Economics Club is one of the most active clubs in school and its members feel that they have learned many im- portant things during the year besides having good times. . -55- STUP!

Anyone can throw a light switch-point a camera-or press a bulb -but it requires charmed hands such as those owned by the Camera Club's skilled craftsmen to produce photagraphs which capture the elu- sive quaility called art in the simple scenes around school. The Camera Club was reorganized this year to encourage photograhy as a worthwhile leisure time activity. During the year the members learned the technicalities of developing films and the printing of pictures. The major project was the making of photographic lantern slides from candid camera shots, Meetings were held every Wednesday noon. Each member of the club took pictures every week and brought them to the meetings for criti- cism. During the Winter the subject for study was snow scenes . Once each month a meeting was held at night and special pr-ograms were prepared for these evening meeting 1. The enthusiasm this year, was due to the zealous work of Mr. Hicks and the never ending enthusiasm of the members to get a better shot next time .

This year Hononegah went over the top and the students sold 31207 of magazines -in a week, which really is a record to shoot at. Nearly every student in school sold at least one sub- scription and many so'd S10 worth, or more. A generous sum of money was realized as a profit from this project and this money is used to get assembly programs from the Extension Division of the University of Wisconsin and other worth while things during the school year. The girls and boys were pitted against each other -in the exciting contest and each day the scores were given in an assembly period and enthusiasm ran high. The girls finally were victorious over the boys and reaped the benefit of winning the contest by having the boys give them a party, Miss Rice was the leader of the girls and Mr. Root lead the boys. Don Welch and Maurice Long were the captains of the boys' team and Jayne Thayer and Barbara McK.ibben acted in the same capacity for the girls. Miss Munger was the executive secretry for the contest and her assistants were Arlene Johnson and Geneva Russell. ' There was a S5 prize offered for the class selling the highest per- centage of their quota and the lucky seniors won it. Ethel Popanz won the high prize for being the girl who sold the most magazines and Donald Welch was high salesman among the boys. Other lucky winners of prizes were: Anna Belle Krupke who won a radio, Wendall Roth- whose prize was an over night bag Ellen Edwards, who won a Student Activ- ity Ticket, Ruth Gilchrist whg won a water-proof jacket, and Doris Knapp who won a wrist watch. -58.- H. H. H. SPHHSUHS CHHISHHHS PHHTU We were all glad when Santa put in his annual appearance at the Christmas party, this year. The party was sponsored by the G. A. A. Being a very accommodating fellow, he came to see us on December 23. ThefG. A. A. girls decorated the beautiful tree and when they had finished putting tinsel, ornaments, and colored lights on it, the tree pre- sented a magnificent appearance. The program started at 1:30 and got off to a good start when Mr. Gallup led us in several Christmas Carols. A play written by Victor Ellis was put on by a group of boys and it was a roaring comedy by the title of Trial of Willaforce Jermyra Cesspool . The girls, not to be out- done by the boys, also presented a play written by Barbara McKibben, entitled A Take-off On Our Teachers . A letter written to Santa Claus stating the desires of some of Hononegah's prominent students was read. A few minutes later, Santa appeared on the scene with his pack on his back. Since we had been so good this year fso he saidb he gave each one of us a gift. After the gifts had been exclaimed over, there was dancing to complete a perfect afternoon. HHHlE EB HIHLS LEHHH HHT HF IHHHELIHH After the Home Economics girls finished units of sewing in class they presented their products in style shows. These shows were held during class periods but were put on in the auditorium and guests from other classes were invited. One freshman class put on an original skit entitled Little Daisy May in which a poor girl. dressed in rags, saw all of the beautiful c'othes made at Hononegah in sewing classes 'and decided to improve herself and learn to make her own dresses. At each style show, the best article of apparel was chosen by the audi- ence. Elearor Stultz and Darlene Dahlgren won these awards. In the spring the girls put on a style show for their mothers at the Mother and Daughter banquet. The purpose. of all of these is to teach, the girls the art of wearing clothes as well as to to display work done in the Home Economics classes. STUDEHTS EHJUU HSSEIIIBHES A series of four Assembly programs were presented to the student body this year. This entertainment was made possible by money earned in the Magazine Contest. The University of Wisconsin sponsors these programs. ' The first program was given September 30. Raymond Roger's extra- ordinary pets performed many clever tricks. Bozo. the monkey received enthusiastic applause from the students as he did his hilarious part in the program. Canaries cleverly rode on a merry-go-round as the cocka- toos perfromed on a see-saw. The climax on this Program was the storm- ing of an enemy fort by the cockatoos. One bird fired the cannon, lad- ders were raised to rescue the prisoners, the enemy flag was torn down and the American fiag raised in victory.. As the students of our school are interested in dancing, Margot's Dancing Troup' was engaged for one program during the year. A re- view of ballet from Palova down to present times, was first given by this group. Dances depicting the life of many nationalities were grace' fully presented. The familiar Mexican Hat Dance was an outstanding number of the program. Military music of John Philip Sousa was used as a background for attractive military dances. Edwin Karhu was the accompanist for this talented group. A famous Art Lecturer, Carl Bolander talked to the student body on arts and hobbies and how to find beauty through creat-ive expression. Mr. Bolander is known as the Art Hobby King . He illustrates with slides correct and incorrect methods of interior decorating. He had many interesting hobbies and has encouraged many people to find hob- bies for themselves. The last assembly pr-ogram was given March 3. Mr. Harry White, philosopher, scientist and lecturer gave an ,interesting talk on Man's Progress Through the Ages' . Mr. White had with him 9 complete and valuable research laboratory. This laboratory was of great interest to all scientific minded students. He further explained the accomplishment of man and the methods which men in the dark ages used to overcome physical darkness. 4 These programs were of great interest to the students and were enjoy- ed by the entire student body and faculty. They were not only enjoyable entertainment but very educational. ....60.... its natmrs who tave st tiindln si student hsdn ut Hnroneqat High Schr tn cnntinie its suppnt nt 'hese trienf ot ours.

The Seniors are about to take their trip! The members of the class gathered their coins together, emptied their various pig banks and are going to take a three day trip to Mackinac Island, which is located at the head of Lake Michi- gan. Bright and early the morning of May 20 the class will set out in the school bus for Chicago the first lap of their journey . At Chicagio they will go aboard the S. S. North Amierican at 10:00 A. M. and will go across Lake Michigan. On the boat they will enjoy dancing to the ship's orchestra, dine on famlous Georgian Bay food, and watch very entertain- ing floor shows. The boat will be booked exclusively by high school students and perhaps our Seniors will get acquainted with some people from other schools-who knows? Mackinac Island will come into view Thursday morning at 9 o'clock and our Seniors will see Lookout Ploint, Skull Cave, Arch Rock, Grand Hotel, the Astor Fur Post and interesing old Fort Mackinac, over which the fiags of three nations have flown. They will use bicycles. horse and buggies and their feet To get around the island, since no motoring is allowed. When they leave Mackinac Island at 1:00 P. A. a buffet lunchleon will be served on the boat and the afternoon will be spent in cruising Little Traverse Bay. past Harbor Springs, Peoskey and Charlevoix. Darkness will find the cruisers entering Lake Michigan for the long ride home. On the boat that evening there will be more entertainment and a party. Morning will find them passing Milwaukee, Racine and other Wisconsin cities. After a final luncheon they will dock in Chicago at 2:00 P. M. Fri- day afternoon and see a few sights there before boarding the bus to re- turn to Rockton, for graduation Friday night. It sounds good doesn't it? The Seniors have worked hard and de- serve a fine trip as their final fling before eaving Hononegah behind. THIS Hllll THHT THRU-UUT THE UEHH SEPTEMBER 2 School opened!

Time surely does fly. After becoming a laboratory technician in the Rockefeller Foundation I traveled a good deal. During this time I have discovered many ,of my classmates of 42 in the far corners of the' United States - In New York. on a shopping trip. who should I meet but lovely Willa Jean Faust modeling for Peck and Peck Dress Shop of Fifth Avenue. We met Jean Scott at lunch and I discovered that Jean was the private secretary of Mrs. Astior, Jr. I found myself in Miami on a medical case and saw Jayne Thayer tanning herself in Florida's sun. After chatting awhile she told me that she was modeling on the beach for , Power's. Boarding a plane for Chicago, I met Guerdon Reed in person. We had a grand time visiting as Guerdon had become famous as leading doctor in Maylo's Surgical Clinic. Guerdon told me that Harlan Olmstead was doing splendidly as a diesel engineer in Detroit working on engines for subs. He also said Bill Payne was foreman of speed production for au- tomobiles. He said also, that Don Clikeman had become a University Professor of English in Idaho. After getting off at the airport, I discovered that Albert Gummow had been my pilot and that Doris Knapp was stewardess. While in Chicago. I bumped intoWilbur Adams and Dale Scott. the professional farmers- I was told that each of them had already earned his million. In talking with them- found that Sharley Fuller was mar- ried and was doing a fine job of mending her husband's socks, and that Mildred Redieske and Dick Dwyer also were married to their schoolday sweethearts . I went back to the Foundation and had lunch with Anna Belle Krupke. She told me that Grace Graves and Darleen Olson were private secre- taries to the governor of Illinois and that Mr. Loomis had hired Bar- bara McKibben in the office of Hononegah as the result of her work on Senior Day.

June Hirt is one of the foremost Latin teachers in 1llino.s and teaches at Ho- nonegah. Jo Gummow has become a brilliant dancer in the Follies, and Betty Leech's pleasant voice is is heard at a telephone central in Lhicago. Strange as it may seem I discovered Ruth Daniels single and doing work as County Demonstrator for the Farm Bureau in Boone county and she was so busy that she hadn't found time to get married. On a Good Will Tour to South America. who did I meet but Lois Bates, a missionary, and 'Don Baker, foremost diplomat of the United United States during the Presidential reign cf Jim Gilchrist. No won- der the nation is plunging forward for backward, I don't know which.J Then in the wilds of South America Bill Lonkouski loomed into sight- He said that he was Haliburton- the second just rambling around. In Buencs Aires. I discovered Virginia Dixon singing and doing the Congo in a night club. The next day I had the opportunity of seeing an auto race between S. A. and N- A. and who should break the record but Phyllis Berg. Of course we have to have the nation's supply line flowing. Bob Palmer, Lyle Masear, and BillBean were doing their bit for dempocracy in the line of large scale farming. Helen Sharp, Irene Gilmore, Beryl Anderson, and Jean Hazelwood were having a grand time in the Armed Service as nurses. I wondered how much nursing they did! I learned upon arriving back in the States that Anna Lee Ayers was Editor of the Rockton newspaper, Read It-and Weep g that Barbara Conklin was a stunt flyer and barnsstormer in Warner's Circus and that Shirley Roth was a fortune teller with Ringling Bros. Dpnald Vaughn had become an excellent flag pole sitterg and Harold Von Guerard had become lst Lieutenant in the army and had patented a new fuel to repace gasoline in cars with no waste. Howard Goldye had become Dean of Men at Yale and Ethel Popanz married a millionaire and owns a ranch in Southern California on which she raises zebras. 172-. TU THUSE LEH BEHIND Now, as our high school days end, we pause. for we sense the re- ality of parting with the things we took as a matter of routine, We humorously recall the times when the green Freshmen looked up to us hoping that they would fill our places as well as we did. Then in our haste to reach our classes on time we slammed our locker doors loudly greeted a near-by friend, and then came headlong into a startled Soph- omore, who stared and hoped fervently that in the remaining two yearsg he would have attained the ability to conduct himself in a more digni- fied manner. Of course the wiser Junior calmly looked upon this every day occurrence with indiiference. His longer contact with us had acquainted him with our ways, and now we too, had begun to assume a nonchalent air, because he knew that we were ordinary human beings very much like himself. Now all these familiar scenes must be left to you. We deeply regret leaving you but your friendship and the work we have shared will always be remembered- When it is time for you to leave,you will look back as we do now, on your days as a student at Hononegah with a sense of happiness and a feeling that it was all very much Worth while.
