The world is always changing, so must our ways of living-such as Styles of dancing and even our language. Instead of listening to old-time hop-schottische, etc,, we now listen to jive and jazz, On the radio, the announcer throws in a send me brother, with a solid beat to remind us of what is almost here. Although some of the jive talk has been used currently, everyone is not hep. Expressions such as wise crack, which is jive talk, means a sar- castic remark, Did you ever stop to think that your vocabulary is being fllled with new expressions everyday? Read this book from cover to cover, and you'll see what I mean-- about being in the know about the times, 3 fb We, the class of '45, dedicate this Mack to a classy loe, Mr. Root, who was our sponsor for the first three sessions, in appreciation of his super leadership and swell coopera- tion with us. 6 GIFTED GATE AND HIS SOLID SQUARES HEPCATS J ITTERBUGS AND Rl-IUMBOOGISTS SWINGSTERS BOOKY JEFF SOLID SENDERS AND BOUNCIN' B ALREET GANGS JIVE GROUPS PAPER HELPERS SMART CHUIVIS HI-LITES OF THE SESSION FIGURES AND FACES BEAMIN ON THE HEPCATS DEAR DIARY ADVERTISIN' 5 OOGIES A 4 4 'Well, Junior Dixon, skin me, boy!

E, LOOMIS ' This guy has been with us since way back when and is still TOPS with the gang. He has plenty on the ball for his American History Class- es. He is kept on the run from morn till nite doing odds and ends for us DONALD HICKS: He was one of the most solid gates in the place, He juggled algebra, physics, trigonometry and general business to the guys and gals and he also was the alreet boss of the Pep Club, FRANCES KLITZKIE: A sweet little cookie who is highly super is the only meanin' for this gal. She is always in the groove with shorthand, typing and bookkeeping, Her friendly smile just digs itself down to the bottom o' your heart, IRVING HUGGINS: No lazy farmers was his motto and as a boss of agriculture every gate added to his brain how to dig the ground up and how to acquire fat healthy pigs, etc, He will be remembered as a solid gate with plenty behind the ball, RUTH NORTHROP: Here is one of our solid squares who is more on the sentimental side. She could turn a dry English story into a very interesting novel. She was alreet with English and the like, PAUL MUNSON Plenty on the alreet side, this gent could make any guy we the mark, because he was head of gym classes. He also had to sive the bouncin' boogies and solid senders a W0I'k0l1t and did all Fight by 'CUM t00. MABEL LAFFIN: Scientific matter was this cookie's specialty. She was a slick chick in mastering the G.A,A, Whenever this gal was around no one could be seen with a sad face, ROY HUBBELL: Sweet and sentimental melodies were of a super class under the di- rection of his neat gate. He really could send one out of this world by his unbeatable rootin' and tootin', JEAN DOUGLASS: This super cupcake was plenty neat when it came to cookin' and sewin'. Her friendly greetin' always supported many friends. As head gal of the Home Ec Club she really went to town. HARRIETTE BYRNE: A newcomer in the second session, this gal ,was plenty on the top side with a. strict but solid hand for gals' gymnastics, She showed the gals a ship-shape time all thro' second session, RUTH FINK: Strictly groovey was a part in this chick's make-up. She was simply first rate in English for juniors and seniors , She also was top aid in French and could make a gang swotn with her swoonatra chorus. WILMA DYBEVIK: This sweet little honey-chile was a sender in the place of business, Never a dull moment, because Willie always could round up a slue of junk to work out, The gang was pretty sweet on her, too. 11 Sdml Bauer Hononegah has two alert jeeps for bringing the gang to and from the institution. Our drivers are Mr, Ralph Reiser, a neat gate from Rockton, and the Seaton Brothers, solid from Shirland, These alreet jeeps bring the gangs dwelling both in and out of this specified area. The gang living Outside of this area must pay folding let- tuce of .Sl per five days for riding, These jeeps also bring younger gangs to t.he place across the street. The jingle-jangle for their transportation is furnisher by the district in which they reside, Mr. Reiser makes four strenuous trips around dawn. His mileage av- erages about. 107 miles per 24 hours, Seatons average about 135 miles per 24 hours-only making two strenuous trips. The first gangs ,arrive about 7:30 before the sun rises, and the last gang leaves about 5:30 in the carly black, We must think of these guys once in a while, 'cause they do have strenuous jobs, We hope and know everyone of the gang will remember them as swell buddies, . of Me The working man of H. C, H, S. is our tall, dark, and handy Mr, Lafe Truman. He hails from the jiving village of Rockton, His business calls for no loafing, and he is a king-size gate of all trades. He delivers important bits of paper to our teachers and for the joint, The greatest bit of work is keeping the grounds and building slick. He has done a bang-up job, and we all appreciate his helping hand, He has many happy guys and gals here, and we hope he always will have, as we know he will always be on the beam, J! M711 This school has been a jiving joint. for many years, and we all know it will continue to be a swell place from which all the guyg and gals will go forth remembering many happy events. 12 sfww' ' MHZ Me Jqwm Audrey Schewe Mack Staff-4 Home Ec, Club-1 Sec.-Treas,-4 Home Ec, Sec.-1 Ruth Burton Mack Staff, edito Indian Staff-3, 4 Pep Club-4 Sec-Treas.-2 G, A A,-1, 2, 3 Chorus-2 Band-2 Nat'l Honor Society-4 Home Ec.

We were really solid though, and it didn't take us long to become hep to the ways of H. C, H, S. As we 89 cookies and Joes got to know each other, we picked out the dandies in the class and chose these solid guys to lead Us through our first session: John Thiel had everything on the ball, so we picked him as President. Richard Dicks was no icki, so we bestowed him with the Vice Presidency, and since Arlene Pfaff was an able Grable, what-do-ya-think? Yep!!--She was made Secretary-Treasurer, Mr, Fay Root, our sponsor, was no Simon Legree. In fact, it was this solid gate who showed us t.he ropes, so that in time we were drools no more, but right. on the seam!! We had one grand blow-out with a solid gang, too. Stopping here for a second year. we looked Richard Dicks over and said, You're Pres., chum. Irene Williams, with her get up and go, was placed in the Vice President's chair, and we spied Ruth Burton for Secretary-Treasurer. Our turn for murdering our inferiors was a suc- cess! For our second session brawl, we stuffed ourselves with the sponsor's cookin', Mighty yummy, too!! Did some rugcutting, too. That magazine contest shoved S5 our way for being supersalesmen, Gracefully striding into our third year, we persuaded Carroll Dillet to preside in the Presidency and Junior Dixon in the Vice-Presidency. Hepcat Marilyn Stenberg became Secretary-Treasurer, We did a bang-up job on that very dressed-up affair and that till the tummy farewell. Swayin' into this last year of hard work, we found Junior Dixon bubbling with ryt.hmn for President and that slender, tender, and tall lad known as James Newell for Vice-President, One slick chick, Audrey Schewe, was selected as Secretary-Treasurer, We welcome a new strictly alreet gal, Miss Frances Klitzkie, as a sponsor, She has done a bang-up job in juggling the ball with us. Our Betty Grables and Tyrone Powers showed the crowds our acting ability in the senior play, We plan to have a super colossal time on our little customary jaunt. We all got our pardons with Doc's autograph, and everybody felt a little droopy at leavin' the joint., 19 Mildred Tooley Mathew Berells Clarence Seaton Irene Williams Mack Staff-4 Basketball-4 Football-4 Indian Staff-3,4 Home Ec.

They soon found out that it was a bird-minded idea if they thought it was going to be a bed of roses for their next four years, But they kept stumbling on and had a few blow outs. One of these was fi night of Murder! After this they became hep to our lingo, Walking or dancing on four wheels was a brawl in which they participated, This took place in Rockford, Illinois, Switching to the dull, business side, their big shots were: the Head Guy-Russell Bennett, Helper of the Big Guy-Peggy Fisher, Head of Finance and Records-Kenneth Pfaff. A limber gal, Mrs, Laffin sponsored this gang. 1943 iinds these 52 swiftly learning jitterbugs murdered again, this time by their followers, the green freshies, That was their punishment for not being super salesmen. A jam session sponsored many rug-cutters and also another session on wheels. The Big Shots this term were: President-Ralph Vincent, Vice Pres- ident-Jo Ann Birkett, Secretary-Treasurer-Alice Piatt, and they still have that limber gal with them. Thee whole months of sweet rest and back again this term brings forth 48 smooth jitterbugs, This gang picked their celebs as: President- Bob Fender, Vice President- Jo Ann Birkett, Seretary-Treasurer - Blanche Hinkle, That limber gal is still supervising, too. A blow out was held in the fall with these jitterbugs as the back- ground. 24 cfzemia'fum714 An alreet darb, Mrs. Jean Douglass, leads this group of fifty-seven rhumboogies. As cute greeniess, this group! decided to let. these gates and a gal give it a whirl, so they selected Robert Dixon as President and Fred Gummow ag Vice: President, and scared Billie Kalk into the job of Secre- tary-'1Teasurer, Although participating in many of the blowouts given by other gangs, this group only had one brawl, in which each filled histummy and then went scenery-gazing, They all had a superb time. X Thisggang, now all being able to rhumboogie, finally reached their sec- ond year. They picked as their builder-uppers, Billie Kalk as President, Nell Burton as Vice President, and Tom Peterson as Secretary-Treasurer. They were cooking on the front burner when they sold chow at thcse sending games, A rug-cutting brawl in the cold month of December was their social bang-up job of the season, 25 TOP ROW Dawn Nelson, Rose Bates, Barbara Green, Elizabeth Oldenburg, Lowell Phelps, John Gleasman, Gertrude Black, Betty Clover, Mae Krupke, Lila Winterland, THIRD ROW , Charles Nelson, Ralph Vincent, Owen Sprague, Burdette Haas, Don- ald Mineff, Lawrence Roberts, Donald Guetschow, Phil Rich, Carl Bauling SECOND ROW Ella Barber, Betty Hamborg, Gladys Downs, Shirley Crockett, Earl Kiser, Ray Stultz, Sidney Bainbridge, Shirley McLean, Patsy Newell, Rut.h Deets, FIRST ROW ' Stewart Alexander, Donald Simonds, Millard Barlow, Dan Ayers, Frank Olson, Kenneth Pfaff, Russell Bennett, Kenneth Lotz, Robert Perkins, SEATED ' Mrs. Mabel Laffin, adviser, Marjorie McCleneghan, Dorothy Broge, Joan Birkett, Robert Fender, Blanche Hinkle, Barbara Olson, Alice Platt, Margaret Fisher.

A very mel- low fellow, Mr. Don Hicks, has to hold this gang down once in a while, To be up on top with the other gangs, they selected that popular sentimen- talist, David Ellis, as the head boss, Checking on the boss became the work of a neat gate, Reuben Clark, Takin' notes and money was flopped into Chuckie Wright's hands, but he really is alreet for lt, too, No manpower shortage in this gang-'cause knock me over-the Joes outnumbered the sweetest little gals. What a shock!! Usually gals take the cake, but not this session, Some of these able Joes were included in those sendin' rallies, While sendin' rallies took energy from a few Joes, energy with a. capital E was really installed to walk up and be broken into our ways of learnin' and havin' on the select night of November 16, They took it like a grand bunch of troupers and are climbing steadily and solidly on the way to the top! 30041 M! In the sweet and sentimental season, of 1941, the small section of that place for gents and gals not droolin' with schoolin' was transformed into a place for book-bugs, etc. Before this season, the books were kept in glass enclosed cases, That, solid gate, Mr, Fay Root, and his jacks of all trades chiseled and pounded until everything was in shape and looking like the present library. Although we might have been drips or jerks before we went into the library-we are strictly slick chicks and learned Joes after we come out, Mrs. Ruth Northrop is plenty potent with the help of her super-solid gals to direct us while in the library, Many pages with bound covers have been an added attraction for the past. few years, We get in the groove by learning the same rules and regulations we would use in any other other library. 33 0ulal'7ld47l!aalcl dia Uzesencfiwff After two sessions of layin' off the ball, the sendin' Jacksons weren't really hep, but they did alreet for the first session! At one of the sessions Beef Vincent broke his shoulderand the Sendin' Jacksons really miss- ed him as he really was on the beam! A little later, George Brayton broke his leg while defendin' the purple and gold. These Jacksons didn't have a very successful season, but they made a good showin' anyhow.

Right about face! Left! Right! Left! Right! Familiar??? You betcha! These orders are only familar in our super-buildin' gym classes, The gals are under the strict but enjoyable hand o' Mrs. Byrne, one of those solid senders from Beloit, Wisconsin, With knowin' all the stuff-we get plenty in shape and learn that well poised gates and gals get the breaks, The gals are swayin' with square! dancing. Tumblin' gets those bones and muscleslout. of the rut and' on the beam, Previously our main gal was Mrs. Mabel Laffin but as Mrs, Laffin was plenty busy, Mrs, Byrne took her place, Mrs. Byrne shows us what'S what on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Of the opposite sex, that neat gate, Mr, Paul Munson, is plenty solid in drilling our brothers for straight backs and muscular arms and legs. They're gettin' them, too, These gates have absorbed the knowledge of ways of tossin' a ball down the alley, swingin' a tennis racket, bouncin' rx ball in a basket, and runnin' down a field with a ball, They have also marched with attention and correct direction. Just like military trainin', We're making wonderful young men and young women out of gates and gals to be sturdy and on thc beam for the days ahead. 39 Weak fwanl lick MMA Slick chicks of G, A, A, have tossed many smiles our way. But then, what could any gal or guy expect-egpccially having that slickest of slick chicks, Thelma Vinke, lead them.

Marjorie McCleneghan took over to assist that Slick'Chick, and, Nell Burton t.ook charge of the do-re-mi! This bunch of cookies also backed up the rat race, the Homecoming Dance, Did pretty swell, too, Also tossed around much food and drink at those sendin' games, A good old-fashioned sleigh ride Wag held the night. of initiation of new members, Every cookie filled her tummy before riding but bounced and jumped afterwards to the old jive master, Havin' fun on wheels blow-out came about in the middle of January. At that time, the sweethearts of sport tried their best to have straight backs and shoulders. Irene Williams, a neat gal, was tops, and Jean War- ren, sweet and sentimental, came riding close, For keeping wonderful vim and vigor, the gals roll a solid ball down the alley and must really knock 'em off, too, Shuffling at a play day in Byron, Illinois, six chums gathered in all the know, Attendin' rneetin's every once in thirty days, these gals have really had a scrumptious time. 40 Reel filed These sold gals have plenty on the ball and so has that neat little lady, Mrs. Jean Douglass. She can make those gals turn out the yummiest sweet and drape shape togs. '1'nis gets them in the groove to do for themselves and maybe do for some of the Hicks from the Sticks in the future. Besides knowing the household tasks they also know how to pick plenty slick chicks-'cause they selected Audrey Liddle as candidate for Presidency and charged Catherine Rich with the Vice Presidency. They also chose Joyce Grant as Secretary and Lucille Carriker as Treasurer. The theme of this gang is How to Live and Act Socially. They ac- complishments are aimed to be happy in social doings and to help along that likeable quality--personality, besidesimany others. This gang has also really been jivin' to gather five hundred and twenty cross-word puzzles for the gents in uniform over the deep blue sea. Also the uniformed gents have received seventy-five mendings kits from these solid gals. A news letter is slipped out once in thirty days to different schools to see what the solid gals are jugglin' in other parts. One sleigh ride brawl has given a happy delight to these gals, and at Christmas they showed the faculty a right super time with a luncheon, etc. All in all they are really in there pitchin'!!!! ickiqaamlfzesificbl These Hicks are plenty solid when it comes to learnin' the way of digging the ground and doing a farmer's job. No la.zy gents here-no, not under the direction of a popular male like Mr. I. M. Huggins. This gang has selected as their leaders: Sidney Bainbridge to say what's what: Mathew Berens to help Sidg Fred Gummow to take notesg Thomas Boswell to take the do-re-:nip Jack Osborne to report the doingsg and George Bridge as their 'Watch Dog. They go by a saying: Learning to do. Doing to learn, Earning to Live Living to serve. So you see, these gents are on the way up to becoming Future Farmers of America. These guys have been initiated into this brawl by the Beloit Chapter of Future Farmers. This gang is now in the Green Hand Degree. Turkey raffles and the like have been goin' on in and around school to finance the organization. Hononegah is really raising some mighty prospective lookin' farmers. 41 lick TOP ROW , Beverly Nichols, Carolyn Crockett, Shirley Crockett, Irene Williams, Joan Eklund, Jean Warren, Betty Clover, Beverly Woodcock, Lyn Bigelow, Mae Krupke.

Tha.t's why every Thursday the place sounds like a session shop instead of an institu- tion, Third period and noon the whole gang assembles and, Brother, then is when your knees start knocking and toes start rocking, although every once in a while, they get sentimental with pieces such as I'll Get By, etc, It has delivered a few hot phases at our pep sessions and also came out with sentiment on the night of the Junior play and Chorus concert. H. , . This group of forty-Hve Joes and Jills can really do up a serious, way-back-when into a modern groovey neat little number, The collector of this gang is that nothing-but-solid sender, Mrs. Ruth Fink, The gal that flies over the keys and makes out with the solid melodies is Mar- garet Fisher, They have come out with such cute tricks as: The Day of the Kerry Dancers, Hymns, Set Down, Servant, and many other jump-sets. The gang has improved each vcice by meetin' twice a week, on Mon- day and Friday, and now they give our Hand-Clappers an occasion to swoon because of the super yodelin' they have done at the swing ses- sions, The place has really Been brightened up by these swoonatras.

The swoonatra gang, un- der the super direction of the neat cookie, Mrs. Fink, advanced a simply alreet and melndious session. This group gave out with melodies and jingles of the Allied Nations. They were really solid, too. For the first two selections they warbled lively and jivy Russian, jangles. Next they brought forth a bunch of English sentimental verse: that were typical of the English Folk songs. The chums that were talkin' French jumped up with two native melodies in French. They also sang a solid sweet and low down negro spiritual for our own beloved dwelling-place. In closing, the gang came back with some sentimental and sweetest Christmas melodious lyrics. To add to the excitement of the evening the instrumentalists drum- med and tooted several definitely rythmed marches during the rest pers iods. On March 8, 1945, this group of swingsters also gave another session of melodies. This time each swingstev tooted a solo for which judges pick- ed one from each gang to go to Genoa to try to beat. the other mate from other places. Several piano soloists and a voice soloist went. Each did a super-elegant job. Our swingsters are much on the beam under the direc- tion of Mr. Roy Hubbell. 49 Mmclm Murder is right!!! The greenies really took a beatin' from those solid jitterbugs. Fred Gummow impersonated the devil and he was plenty al- reet, Kermit Ulrich sat on the throne and threw punishment at each chum that had the fate of becomin' a greenle. Newell Lovejoy was his high- ness's royal right-hand sidekick. Some of the punishments were strugglin' through water, jello, egg shells, and cracker crumbs. Some had the pleasure of drinking milk out of a bottle with a nipple and even a few had to show us aright smooth rug-cuttin' step, There were proposals and feet washin' contests, Every guy and gal went home feelin' much bigger and braver, which goes to show what a little murder can do to a greenie They are now part of our big gang, Rad Me Came a night in November and everybody was feelin' happy as a lark 'cause this was the night of that looked-forward-to solid magazine brawl. Every guy and his gal toddled in to give :the place a beatin', and it was strictly solid lendin' an ear to such popular beatin' the rhythm guys as Tommy Dorsey, Gene Krupa, Kay Kyser, etc, The usual gang really made the place rock, too, 'cause after your feet started tappin' when the tunes swayed across the floor, you possibly could not stand still. This was really a. night of getting the rhythm out of your bones, be- cause no guy or gal went home without a smile on his face, It was thrown by those beatable males, Maybe it does pay to win a contest once in a while, but it was all in fun, so everybody expected a super time!!! 50 ,uw self The group of hepcats that have thrown the pages of this annual scandal together are really hep. They hope that this book will knock eve'ryone's eyes out-and be one of the most blabbed about things of the decade. Everyone has gotten into the groove-under the direction of that Able Grable, Ruth Burton, who is downright solid, Jim Newell was no drool when it came around to managing the affairs of this masterpiece, Miss K who has added a period here and crossed out a word there, has really been super-swellegant as an adviser. The Hepcats have chosen Jive as the theme of this bulging biog- raphy of H.C.H,S, during the school year 1944-45, 'adam Staff Hep is the word for this gang, always on the beam for bringin' forth that unbeatable talky- The Indian, That slick chick, Irene Wil- liams, edited that news in a super fashion - new ideas, and always streamlinin' and modern, The news collectors had to zoom in and around, hittin' and never missin' the valuable gossip and chatter. The gals who banged on the typewriters were really no down-beats when it came to seeing those stencils ship-shape. Our bit of gossip was rated right up near the top among other news We also received many jangles from our service and alumni chums statin' the old joy t.hat this news brought their way, The Indian was thrown together with between six or eight. pages of jabber-wacky, I'm tellin' ya, chum--all summed up-this was alreetl! 51 .Supa Se!

R. The Daughters of the American Revolution will honor a sweet gal from each of the forty-eight states, picked from the highest class of the highest schools, as being superior in the following qualities which are the backbone for good citizenship, These are: dependability, service, leader- ship, and patriotism. A S100 war bond will be given to the winner chosen at random, At this session our gal was Irene Williams. Baainancfg The Brain and Brawn Society was established by Dr, James C.

' Y . a4lr4zcal'4 Skit' This year the Hep Cats really did themselves proud when it came to the theatre !! They got in the groove by putting on Aunt Tillie Goes to Town -a really solid play. Aunt Tillie is rather a. stuffy old babe who dislikes all Joes, but changes her tune in the end. Mary Jane Mack was this old maid. Lucinda Talbot was Aunt Tillie's maid who was forever trying to look like Lamar and hook her a Gable. Darlene Wallace did a bang-up job on this part. Mervin Tucker was a shy lad :who was hope- lessly in love with Pamela Marsh. Jimmy Newell, as Mervin really had the onlookers rolling in the aisles with his long skirts and soprano voice. Ronald Howland-Jack Dilllet--was the gate who got everybody in trouble when he was really trying to get them out of it. Lizzie Parsons was the hysterical Jill who thought she knew it all. Pat Charboneau was solid when it came to this. Arlene Pfaff as Pamela Marsh did a. swell job of crying. She loves Mervin in spite ot all that she thinks he's done to her. Luther Lorrimer complicates Ronnie's life by coming into the picture in the mid- dle of the mixup. Clarence Seaton was this old gent. Ellen Neeland, played by Ellen Edwards, was the mysterious woman who kept all the guys and gals guessing. Charlie One Lung appeared as the Chinese Soup-Server, and Sam Dixon and his accent really tici-.led everyone's spine. Thelma Vinke made the plot more involved by appearing as Mrs. Tillie Tucker, a nice old gal who is kept in the dark as to what's cooking. Last but not least is Donnabelle Bolander as Dr. Hattie Bing, a chiropractor. She comes and really batters poor Mervin abaut. That was the cast who did a super job but it wouldn't have been possible without the help of these gates: Lois Marston, Charlotte Hopkins, Mary Lutz and Esther Metz as ushersg Ruth Bur' ton and Mildred Tooley as promptersg Elizabeth Nichols and Matt Berens as stage managersg Irene Williams and Lynn Lindstrom as ticket sell- ers. Miss K , as director, was really swell, and the play couldn't have been produced without her. 59 aww Roger! Who could ever do such a swell bang-up job as those great- est of great, Liberators versus Fortregses, At the beginnin' of each book-learnin' session, the gals and gates go lznockin' on the doors of news-book buyers, The main chance is to get folding lettuce t.o have sendin' games and the like. A very neat gate, Mr, Nick Engler, brings us to the point of actual cash and carry-cash the guy's check, carry the magazine to the owner. This session Ends the institution not at the bottom, oh no, but., right on top and over, Strictly solid, we pushed the sales within a few fold- ing lettuce of two thousand, Hustling and hustling, we did this bang-up job in a week's time, Nearly every swingster put in his two cents' worth, Assembly entertainment, for which the folding dough was furnished by sales of magazines, was chosen from the Extension Division of the Uinversity of Wisconsin. The sweet Susies formed the Liberator gang and quickly drove the Fortress team, of solid Joes, off thc map. A wink of the eye and a tip of the hat.-and there was a sale! Presto! But the boys were slightly down in a rut, Meetin's took care of the twenty'-four hour Sales and salesmanship. The place for study was a place of riot when the scores were released, The solid Joes advanced a rat race for being in a rut. To top it off, these guys allowed a gal to escort another outsider., The solid gal rootin' for the girls was Mrs, Ruth Fink, with plenty of get,up and go spirit, On the opposite side-rootin' his best for those gates was Mr, Paul Munson, doing pretty well. In the Captains' chambers sat Jack Dillet and Junior Dixon, where- as those sweet cookies were Irene Williams and Mary Jane Mack. That super Miss Klitzkie handled the business end and, sister, she showed us what a real secretary can do, To jot down a few numbers here and there Audrey Schewe and Ellen Edwards assisted, Oh! The last twenty-tour hours finds a thrilling joy: Mae Krupke, the winner, with 57100, and Clarence Seaton, a little lower, with S45.00. Spending a wonderful, excited time through the contest week--we wish Happy Landing for every guy and gal trying their hand at this sales- manship next year! 60 Sweelg' Our sweet sessions, time to layoff the ball, came inly four different seasons this time. The four that we winked at were trucked to us by that simply super University of Wisconsin. Of course, we shoved a little do-re-mi their way and this do-re-mi was juggled out of the lettuce col- lected by the magazine sales. ' The first session, with that neat gate, C. E. Jones, as the backbone. was ship shape on October 9, 1944. The Main dish was a plenty hot num- ber, 'Dancing Electronics.'Talking on Our level, JOIIBS t0ld US 8b0l1t that super electric eye, which has over 300 things to do, and the light beam communication, on which m11SiC 02' sound could slide right over. Science is hell? alfeet 'Cause we ll-lggled the knowledge of Radar and how the new army tornedoes and self-propelled bullets are controlled, Ha! A murder mystery! Jack Rank, a swell chum, was a. struggling one man theater playing the story of MacBeth. He was plenty jivy throwin' on the garb thirty-live times in one play. This was a session on December 12, 1944. The next session was solid for air-minded chums. Wesley Flanery flew in on January 30 and taught us the A.B.C's of Aeronautics. All ears were jumpin' when they saw and listenezl to his jabber and showing of the model plane. The last sweet session was top watch on April 24. This session was t.he time of Emil Liers, who knew how to handle those otters of his. He made us friends with Tara and her play-chums. These sweet little honey-chiles are the only trained otters in the World. Whistle, and they are at attention. Brother! These animals are the most clever retrievers in the whole wide world. - 61 ma, ew TOP ROW: Donnabell Bolander, Sam Dixon, Jack Dillet, James Newell Clarence Seaton, Ellen Edwards SEATED: Arlene Pfaff, Mary Jane Mack, Frances Klitzkie idirectorb Thelma Vinke, Pat Charboneau, Darlene Wallace.

When you step into that monstrous play-room, in one corner you can really have the pleasure of seeing a mechanical man who has been installed to hand out Cokes to the Indians around almost human, so he has to be fed just like the food is a nickel a bottle, But, come to think of it, Due to Doc's efforts, we can now have football Those round really throw happy about Someone switched our the old forty here. Of course, he is rest of us, only his he is quite generous, in the dark hours. glass bulbs that light up are better than daylight, They around an awful lot of light. The guys and gals are pretty the matter, had the bright ideauto give us more time to study, so they periods around to make six instead of the previous eight. In -minute period, you go only over the top of your mind. Now you really clear out some rusty facts from the back of your mind in this new one-hour period. It has been noticed that since this change, even the dumb guys have been getting passing grades. The shack in back by the pounclin' room has had an over-hauling and is ship shape, Now the hicks use it as a place to learn their les- sons on korn, pigs, etc, In the future we might see some hicks turn into agriculturalists. This place serves the purpose very well, Vvith all the improvements in the joint, we are really gettin' to be the best hepcats in this part of the country. 65 Un '7!1e Beam Plenty of zoom in a gang was backed by the large group of twenty-eight Grables and Gables that made up that super pep club. When- ever a bouncer game appeared, this gang would knock out a skit or some- thing at the pep session to add and show the vim and vigor we have. Also at games we would be plenty hot with the yellin' section to pep up and represent the place. The members of this gang were selected by the class from which they came. Ten chums. were untangled from the four-year gang, eight from the third-year gang, six from the second-year gang and only four from the greenies. That neatest of neat gates, Mr.Don Hicks, bossed the gang once in a while, and he was really the male who was our pepper-upper. We've had plenty to do but have enjoyed every solid inch of it and wish more oomph to the future. 66 eq ' lance On October 27, our alreet gang held a jive party, This jive party took place right here at our joint, H, C. H. S, It followed that super sendin' Homecoming game, Everyone was all pepped up for the dance after the jumping and yelling they did at the game. For keeping our time, we had a slick chick orchestra called the Chansonettes. Our folding lettuce to sponsor this dance came from the fifty cents charged to cut a rug. Hononegah has always been host to this 'rug-cutting brawl, and a large group of Joes and cookies who were bubbling over with rhythm flocked to the floor, Everyone attending really had a super-elegant time and are looking forward to a really hot time next year, . paw! Crash! bang! plop! Right into the middle of the place's auditorium came cld St, Nick, and brother, did he knock the presents to us, It seems that quite a few hip chicks shoved billfolds and the like into their mates and most of the mains on the hitch trucked rings, lockets, etc., to their better halves, A few sweet little chilluns ended up with the darlingest gifts such as: baby bottles, pennies, etc, After catering to this shim--sham-shillying, the whole gang, hep- fausts and all, frolicked to the rhythm of that solid jive master, the juke box, Naturally, everybody ticked and hopped with happiness so that the old floor was really bouncin' and shakin' when we ended. This bang up frolic took place on Thursday, December 21, 194,-1, What a frolic! We'll all seclude it in the back of our thinkers-and how! 67 Looneyi WM Sew Star Dusting CGoing Steady? Drape Shape!

S.'s sweet little cookies, For as muscular as he was, he got around quite well. DONNABELL BOLANDER-Donnabclle was an all-reet-keed. She had a. friendly smile for everybody and took an active part in a.ll sports. RUTHIE BURTON-Ruthie was an ideal editor for the Mack, because she was really hep. All you had to do was show Ruthie a dance floor, and she would be right out there wearin' off the varnish. PAT CHARBONEAU-This sweet little gal had a solid voice and charmln' personality that coralled many friends for her. EMIL DAHLGREN-Emil was mighty handy when it came to artwork, so he was kept busy doing work on the Indian and in the Mack. He was kinda' shy, but when he was warm he really got in the groove. JACK DILLET-Well, chop me up and call me suey, if this Joe really wasn't hep. He took part in all sports, cut a mean rug on the dance hoor, and was seen in all the high spots with his better half, Ruthie. SAM DIXON-Sammy was a solid sender, doing his share in football and sinking them every time in basketball. This gent was more than on the dreamy side and took a liking to one of cheerleaders. ELLEN EDWARDS-Ellen was the brain of the seniors, but also took part in the social brawls. Tho' she was small she got around plent.y with an under-classman. RUTH MARY GILCHRIST-Ruth Mary was quiet and shy, but her warm personality really got ya. She took an interest in school activities, and was really hep when it came to her lessons. ROBERT GUMMOW- Shut my mouth and call me Cla.mmy, should have been this gate's motto, but quite the contrary, he always could be found puttinghis two-cents worth in. It was usually only worth two cents, too. CHARLOTTE HOPKINS-This cookie was on the hep side of us all 'cause she was solid at work and play. She wasn't with us so awfully long, but she was plenty alreet! CLARENCE JOHNSON-Johnson's pretty black hay had the gals flockin' and iiutterin' toward him. It was noticed that he never minded so much either. CAROLYN LINDSTROM-Lynn's pretty eyes and winkers were always bat- tin' at most of the gates.

Three new Solid Squares have arrived. 11 Studies and lessons have begun and all the Solid Squares have settled down trying to make Einsteins of us. Are they kiddin'? 21 Nick Engler, the gate who comes around every year, was here today. Everbody rushed right home to sell a magazine to his Mom. 22 Football has started. Our team wasn't quite in the groove and we lost 55-0. George Brayton broke his leg, and the guys will really miss his broad shoulders on the team. 29 Our Sendin' Jacksons were hosts to East High. The score was 25-0 their favor. OCTOBER 6 The Sendin' Jacksons played West Rockford, but the victory was all theirs . 10 Everybody has gotten into the swing of things, and school is running just as smooth as sandpaper. 12 This is the day that that solid gate, Chris Columbus, discovered America. Good for him. 13 We played Pec today and our Sendin' Jacksons beat Pec all hol- low. 20 Harlem played us, but we weren't on the beam. They really fixed us good. 73 Galmlm 23, 24, 25 The Solid Senders have institute, and so all the guys and gals get a much deserved rest after almost two whole months of school. NOVEMBER 3 Our Sendin' Jacksons tackled the Harvard Sendin' Jacksons, but not quite often or hard enough. The score was 54-0-their favor. 13 This is the day the Janes picked out to have off because of the magazine contest. Yippie!! 16 The Swingsters are all a-quiver. Freshmen initiation is tonight along with the Magazine Dance. Some varnish will surely be worn oiT the tloor tonite. 20 This is the day the Hep Cats rule. They were really in the groove too, but most of them were ready and willing to give the Solid Squares back their jobs. 27-28 No school, as everybody is mistreating the poor turkeys on these days. And what did the gobbler ever do to you? DECEMBER l 1 Well, strip my gears and call me shiftless, if this isn't a bang up way to start the month. Our Bouncin' Boogies beat the Beloit B team. Hot Diggety Dog!! 8 The crooners really strained their vocal chords tonite along with the band-who blasted forth with quite a number of groovy tunes The Jitterbugs called forth all their Shakespeares and Shapespeareses and let loose with the dramatics. It was really quite a shindig. 74 Galemfaa 15 Our Bouncin' Boogies didn't quite have everything on the ball and let Harlem run over them 37-25. Tsk-tsk. 21 The school gave its usual brawl before Xmas and Santa Claus iAhem! Mr. Hicks, your brown hair was showingl gave away oodles of presents. Afterwards fall the Jacks swung out their Jills to the mellow tunes of the groan box. Merry Xmas! Happy New Year! 22 We tangled with Harvard tonite-what a mess! JANUARY 2 Yawn! Ho Hum! Still not back on the beam after all those holl- days. Shore won't do much book learnin' today. 13 We played those lovely neighbors of ours-South Beloit. We were going to tix them. good, but quite to the contrary, they showed us. 15 The G.A.A. gals threw a skating party and-whew!-did we have fun. Of course, if I'm not sitting down much tomorrow, it might be bs- cause I'm a wee bit tender. - 17-18-19 Ohh-groan, why didn't I look at Algebra? And, oh! that English test was really a dilly. Horrors, I know I'l1.never pass the book- keeping exam. Oh well, I'll know better next time. KI say that now. but just wait.7 22 A new Solid Square has invaded the sacred premises of H.C.H.S. to add to the burden we now bear. Mrs. Byrne has come to make the slick chick's muscles bulge. 23 Stick up your hands! EEEK! We had a real live gangster here. CHe had become a right guy, tho'J. He told us that two of us were to become members of the underworld. Golly, I had better put back Sis's nickel in her piggy bank. 75 Galemlaa FEBRUARY 9 Solid Squa,re's Institute. Now all the guys and gals can have a much deserved vacation. iAhem!!J 6 Played Durand and we really had them shakin' in their boots, for a little while. But they got back in the groove and the game ended 45 to 35-their favor. 9 Beloit B's clipped our wings, 49-33. 14 Will ya. be my valentine--Huh? Please? 16 Played South Beloit again but we were off the trolley! 23 As if we didn't have 'null' to do. The teachers think we need sum speling lessuns. Imagun! How sile! 23 Harlem mowed us down 50-18. Gee Whiz. MARCH 1 Shore 'nuff--March is here growlin' like a lion. 2 Eeek! Anuther speling test. I tole thos teechers we al nu how to spel, but they didn't belev me. 4 The Rhumboogists are gettin' on the trolley by sponsoring a skat- ing party. It's getting so I can stand up now. 26 The Senior Play is in sight. Tryouts tonite. Wonder who will turn out to be a, second John Barrymore, or Helen Hayes, or Homer Smalt.z KI-Ie's a prop man., 76 6 S 30 No school. You gates had better get out your Easter bonnets and shine your shoes. Maybe if you're good the Easter bunny will bring you an egg. APRIL A 2 Still no school. The Solid Squares must think we can't eat eggs with sufferin'. Ohh! My abdomen-I have an ache. 3-4-5 The Hep Cats are really gettin' busy and working on their dra- matic masterpiece. - 9-10-11 More of Shakespeare! 13 How does anybody expect a body to work when it's spring. I've got spring fever for sure. 16-17-18-19 Hep Cats still beatin' their gums and fillin'their heads full of their Senior Play. 23-24-25 Finishing touches are being made on the masterpiece of all masterpieces. 26-27 It's here! And it's really supurb. The Hep Cats were really cookin' with gas these nights. MAY 1 The flowers all bloom in the spring-tra la- You're s'posed tube studying, but oh! This wonderful weather is affecting everybody. Even Miss K has got that sparkle in her eye - and Doc went skippin' down the hall this noon. KNOW I've seen everything.J' ' 77 Gaiwlm 5 The Prom!! The Jitterbugs really did themselves proud, 16 Just routine. The teachers are teaching-the students, studying-- or s'posed to be. 23-24-25 They're oifl Look out, Chicago, here they come. The Hep Cats promise to paint the Windy city a light pink. 27 Baccalaureate-The Hep Cats are almost thru-and most of them wish they had four more years. 29 Junior-Senior Banquet. It was just as it should be. The Jitterbugs and Hep Cats fought all year-but they both have to admit that when you get right down to it they're both SOLID!! J UNE 1 There they go. The Hep Cats have jived through a lively four years at H.C.H.S. and do hate to leave the joint, but then, this old world need some of their talent, so look out Mother Earth, here they come!!

Madame Zoombla- Knows all, Sees all, Tells all. Well, put me to bed and call me early if this wasn't just the thing I was looking for. Maybe if I headed in that direction she would give out with what is to become of the Hep Cats. Shore 'nuff-that's just what happened. I entered the joint and asked her bo start -beating her gums. I told her to hit the road after a little while though, because she slowed things up by muttering and waving her hands over an inverted fish bowl. I took over myself and heav- enly nights!-Things started popp.n -'L he flsh bowl lirst got cloudy, and then through the mist I saw Elizabeth Nichols and Eleanozi Stultz. These two Able Grables were in the front line of a chorus-only they looked dif- ferent. Oh-these midgets are now both six foot one. Whoever thought they'd turn out that way. In, the flrst row, straining their eyes were Rob- ert Von Gummow, who was heading a move to stop all reckless driving, Darrell McMillen-who has now gone into business making hair grower, Cmakes mustaches grow for high school kids, tooi, and Matt Berens, who has taken over Charles Atlas's business. His pictures are in all the maga- zines with a sign under them- If you don't take my course, you will looking like this .Surprising, too, how many people take the course. Every- thing got cloudy again when I saw a kitchen scene. Jack Osborne had a real frilly apron on, and this gate was messin' up the place with Hap jacks. I always did say he'd make some woman a good wife. CGuess who the little woman ls? Eleanor U1rich.J All of a sudden we seemed to be wayjup in the clouds. Yes, we're in a huge plane flying to Brazil. Seated are Emil Dahlgren, Secretary of State, Charlotte Hopkins, secre- tary to the Scretary of State, and Lois Marston, secretary to the secretary of the Secrteary of State. Well,,golly creepers, look who's flying the plane -Mary Jane Mack. She always said she was going to learn how, but no 84 am'8w41f!4,ta1fhe4ut4m body would believer her. Ooops-she almost whammed into that other plane. Next the fish bowl showed n. nice peaceful scene. Three house- wives were gossiping over the backyard fence. They were formerly Ar- lene Pfaff, Ruthie Burton, and Thelma Vinke. tThey're gossiping about their awful neighbors, Jimmy and Mary Cformerly Lotzl Newell. These chicks' better halves, Bob Lawhorn, Newt Wood and George were trying to put one ofthe offspring's kiddy cars together out in the garage. Ap- proaching are two traveling salesmen--.rack Dillet and Junior Dixon-both representing the Fuller Brush Company. tWell, what could one expect with hair cuts as those two ha.ve!JThe fish bowl next took me into a newspaper office, and in the editor's office, with her feet on the desk, sat Irene Williams. She was yelling at the top of her lungs at Darlene Wal- lace and Audrey Schewe for not having the typing done right. She then called for the office girl, and Donnabelle Bolander came bouncing in. She asked her to go find the Society Editor, Jane Moody, so she could go to the ball given by Pat Charboneau, who was the society leader of Rockton. All the most important people were to attend this ball. Ellen Edwards, the writer of the latest dictionary, and Ruth Mary Gilchrist, the first woman to fly to Mars, were going to be there. For entertainment Pat had hired The Two Droops and Three Droo1s to groan out the latest numbers. By the way, the two droops were Clarenec Seaton and Clarence Johnson, and the three drools were Esther Metz, Mildred Tooley, and Carolyn Lindstrom. They were singing a number called 'Tm a Little on the Lonely Side when I Think of Old H.C.H.S. It was sooo bad that the fish bowl cracked-so I took a powder before Zoombla decided to come back. Just before leaving I saw Madame Zoombla come in. You know, she looked awfully familiar Well, what do ya know? It's Miss UK . 85 W . .. -A iv. 4 U o QW .9 . .
