Knowing that the fate of tomorrow de- pends on the youth of today, we can advance with a def- inite goal in sight. When we have achieved that end--a just and lasting world peace-we can look hack to joys and sorrows, the trials and triumphs of our high school days. It is sincerely hoped that this edition of the Sphinx will keep the memories burning. Now with a Hip of this page we are once more the graduating class of 1944. THE SPHINX .... 1944 DEDICATION In honor of the cause for which our boys are fight- ing and dying, we dedicate this 1944 issue of the Sphinx. Many of our friends and school companions have left us to fight for a cause that they deem worthy and necessary. To do justice to these companions and to the world, we therefore strive to make Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness a tradition well worth preserving for our pos- terity. May this cause be long remembered as a part of the American way of life. Geneseo Township High School ,-Yi i.. ,fl K- hh K ,X X- f XX Fw 1?

M r, Brenneman and Mr. Eckerle Class History The history of the graduating class of 1944 has been more varied and changing than perhaps any other class to graduate from G. T. H. S. In the course of four short years we have seen our country enter into a defensive war and then have seen it slowly change to the offensive. Since December, 1941, when we were sophomores, our daily life has been altered more and more from purely peace- ful activities to a life full of such things as rationing, salvage, and war bond buying - - all activities directed toward the war effort. In the fall of 1940 we were as green a class of freshmen as this school has seen. A little mild fun from the upper classmen did not daunt us 5 it merely made us feel we were a little more a part of the school. We chose as our first officers, Duane Dilenbeclc, joe Wright, and Dwayne Miller. Our sponsors, Mr. Soukup and Miss Young, immediately launched us in earning money for our prom which we would produce when we were juniors. As a result the class treasury grew rapidly through the sale of candy, pop, etc. at the football and basketball games. During our sophomore year we became more active in the extra-curricular activities. We entered into speech, music, and athletic groups, and many of us distinguished ourselves in those fields. This year the Community Council dances were inaugurated much to our pleasure. Our ofhcers were Arlo Kemmis, Dale Sand, and Romayne Frels, and our sponsors were Miss Young, Miss Morrow, and Mr. Soulcup. Mr. Soulcup, however, entered the Army in January of 1942. When we entered our third year, we at last became upper classmen. Class leaders this year were, Jo Anne Hammer, Phyllis Blumenstein, and Lucille Firch. Our sponsors, Mr. Brenneman and Miss Young, directed us very aptly in the production of our prom when we were host to the seniors. Our patriotic theme was most timely for the occasion. The last year at G. T. H. S. was full of hints of graduation - - rings, class play, senior pictures, and alumni. . Joe Wright, Dorothy Nestler and Virginia Torreyson directed our class organization, and Mr. Brenneman and Mr. Eckerle were our capable sponsors. This last year was the climax of a full high school career. Life-long friendships had been made, and a sympathetic understanding for each other had been developed. ' Upon leaving high school, our future is uncertain. Many of the boys will enter the armed forces and join classmates who left school before graduation so they could do their bit. No doubt a number of the girls will enter the services also. What ever we do, we will be able to face the future unafraid. We have been carefully prepared and tempered to enter a chaotic and disrupted world, and we are con- fident that we can overcome the darkness thatplooms over us and build a new world that is bright and shining and free.

MUSIC Due to the lack of transportation facilities, the band, orchestra, chorus, and glee club have not participated in as many contests as in previous years, however these groups have been very active on the home front. There were no state or regional contests this year for the music department, but the district contest was held April 22nd with only solos and ensembles taking part. G. T. H. S. was represented by twenty-four solos and six ensembles, both boys and girls. The band did much to add color to the football and basketball games. Much preparation was necessary for the marching and stunts. Much credit should be given the band for the effort put forth in order to give us such good performances in cold weather. The orchestra participated in the Christmas program. The chorus also sang many Christmas carols. Ar the Christmas program held in the Congregational Church, the chorus pre- sented many American Christmas follc songs. The chorus and orchestra also pre- sented numbers at graduation besides taking part in programs throughout the year. The Glee Club was seriously handicapped the second semester because the sched- ule of many members was changed. The Glee Club worked hard on these songs: British Children's Prayern and the theme song from the Firestone program. Two recitals were held during the spring. The girls' sextet was very active this year singing at the different churches, at Parent Teachers' Association, the Servicemen's Auxiliary, and at the meetings of many other groups. The music department presented their annual concert March Z. Under the able leadership of Mr. James and Miss Santee the music department of C1. T. H. S. has had a very successful year.

SPEECH A special effort was made this year to foster speech activities to the benefit of greater numbers than before and also to give them experience along certain lines and additional opportunity for growth in new speech situations. The girls' squad this year increased from nine to eleven. They took part in Davenport, November 20. Here Patsy Hanford won second, Darlene Underwood and Lucille Firch fifths, Elizabeth Hanna sixth, and Sylvia Smith tenth in the finals. The boys' humorous, serious readers, and orators, squad was increased from three to nine. They rep- resented Geneseo at Davenport, February 26. Jim Lash, our sectional humorous reader, won third there. The debate squad was also increased from six to thirteen. A sophomore squad competed in two sep- arate tournaments at Galesburg and East Moline. The question this year was: '4Resolved, that the United States should join in reconstituting a League of Nationsf, The varsity won over half of its debates, and its crowning achievement was third place at Augustana. The debaters here were Joan Taylor and Elon Kleinau affirmative, Augusta Meiresonne - - alternate, Williain Brennan and Virginia Torreyson - - Nega- tive - - joe Ann Hammer - - alternate. Ar the Pekin Invitational Debate Tournament on Jan. 8, we tied for first. The varsity debate team consisted of Virginia Torreyson, William Brennan, Joe Ann Hammer, Joan Taylor, Elon Kleinau and Augusta Meirsonne. The sophomore team was Betty Dahlen, Augusta Meire- sonne, Pat Torreyson, and Wilbur Johnson. Maurice Becker, Darline Underwood, Jean Anderson, and Guy Granger were the reserves. The Student Senate included forty-eight senators organized along party lines and lasted for three days. Joe Anne Hammer of the Republican party was elected the Speaker. Over two hundred speakers participated in the All School Extempore Speech Contest which was con- ducted in classes of four different subjects. First place went to Virginia Torreyson with Elizabeth Hanna second. The finals were held Feb. 17. fContinued on Page Zlj i201 Y Y , E E Geneseo Township High School Representing Geneseo at the Sectional in individual speech teams were joe Anne Hammer, Lucille Firch, Joan Taylor, james Lash, Priscilla Cherry, and Virginia Torreyson. Ar the North Central were Pat- sy Hanford, Wilbur Johnson, Eugenia Kutsunis, Jack Beiderman, Gabron Cox, and Elizabeth Hanna. Patsy Hanford and jack Beiderman won firsts. The Dramatic Class project was a three act play Don,t Take My Penny which was produced March 16 86 17 featuring 14 parts double Cast, enabling all thirty one members of the class to appear on the stage.

A, Pat Torreyson, Virginia Torreyson Neg. A, and joe Anne Hammer, jean Anderson Neg. B. The fresh-sophs won third place in four schools meet at Galesburg and second place in a six school meet at East Moline. Ar the sectionals held March 25 at East Moline, Virginia Torreyson won first in extemporaneous speeching and went to state. Priscilla Cherry and Lucille Firch each won second in verse and oratory rcs- pectively. In addition to the regular events, Geneseo entered a one-act play, A Young Manls Fancy, in the sectional this year. The Athenian Club took the full responsibility for this. Under the able leadership of Mr. Holley, the speech department has been verv successful this year in many types of speech activities. The school has reason to be proud of their speech department.

Taylor, N, Oltman. THE CHEER LEADERS To those members of the high school that are not acquainted with them, I will give you the facts concerning our cheer leaders. In case you clon't know, the cheer leaders are those peppy figures in the green and white tights that go through all types of gymnastics and acrobatics to help add color to the football and basketball games and to lead the yells for the Green and White grid and cage men. Members of the cheer leading squad are: Seniors: Jo Ann Hammer, 4 years service and acting captain, Lois Mae Taylor, 2 years of cheer leading, Juniors: Nor- ma Oltman, 2 years a member, Joan Taylor, 2 years activity, Sophomore: Mari- lyn Combs, 2 years a yell leader, Freshmen: Harvey Fickling and Bill Keine. Many thanks are due these fellow companions who do all in their part to organ- ize a large, colorful cheering section. This willingness to get out in front of a crowd and perform is greatly appreciated by the student body and by the Maple Leaf teams. The fine school spirit that prevails at G. T. H. S. is clue very largely to the hard work of pep leaders. It is beyond a doubt a job that requires a great deal of self confidence and one that produces many cases of feelings that are sorely hurt, but thanks to the personality of these leaders, they have answered hurt feelings with a pol- icy of Forgive and Forget. To the team, the cheer leaders are a symbol of the spirit that leads them to be part of the color of the grid iron and the hard wood. This spirit gives a team the needed pep to defeat opponents of championship caliber. When the boys are clown and out, it is through the efforts of the cheer leaders that the desire to win once more comes to the top. So, with many thanks, we hope to do honor to these friends by giving them a place of honor in this 1944 edition of the SPHINX. f22l ,X Cveneseo Township High School TRACK V if Q' W, g Gisl i g G.. . , ,f , I I E 5 I I I I ax Top Row: R.

Iilt-mint-r, Il, llreciit The 1943 track season was very successful under the expert guidance of Coaches Rex Millikin and John lVlcCormick. Although many school records were on the verge of being broken, only one was shattered. This was the shot put record broken by Gene Nlinnaert with a heave of 45 feet, 3M inches Geneseo participated in the following meets: Geneseo Invitational Relays, Davenport Relays, State District lVleet, Geneseo Night Relays, and North Central Illinois Conference. There were also dual meets with East lVloline and Galva, a triangular meet between Atkinson, Orion, and Creneseo, and Postal meets with Knoxville, Iowa, Centerville, lowa, and lVlount Pleasant, Iowa. The Geneseo Maple Leafs placed a close second in the Night Relays, losing to Sterling by 5 points. jack Klemmer was chosen captain of the 1943 track team. In one statement, Geneseo Varsity and Fresh- man--Sophomore track speedsters kept the Green and White colors waving very highly. Cross country was established for the first time this year in Geneseo High School under the guidance of Coach John McCormick. Nlaryin Pobanz was chosen captain of the Green and White squad.

FOOTBALL Under the leadership of Coaches Rex Millikin and John McCormick, the football season of 1943 was very successful. The Geneseo Maple Leafs won five out of eight games, playing against the toughest of competi- tion. Although Geneseo was comparatively weak at the beginning of the season, a bigger and more powerful team started each following game. Geneseo toolc part in the North Central Illinois Conference and placed third. A couple of the highlights of the season were the last two games played. In the next to the last game, Dixon trimmed Geneseo 20-0, but the last game was a different story. The powerful Maple Leaf Team wanted re- venge and trounced Dixon 18-7. The Freshman-Sophomore football season was also very successful under the guidance of Coach Arthur Brenneman.

BASKETBALL Although the Geneseo basketball squad did not score many victories this year, they did an ex- cellent job, considering the opponents they played. A large amount of credit should be given to Coaches Millikin and McCormick who expertly guided the team throughout the season. The Geneseo team took third place in the Geneseo Invitational Holiday Tournament this year, getting by Alpha in a very close game. From the viewpoint of the spectators, the season was very successful because of the huge crowd that followed the Geneseo team from game to game. A great number of this year's players are juniors and will be baclc next year. This fact alone should point to a very favorable season in the near future.

A. A. The object of the High School Girls' Athletic Association is to stimulate in- terest in girls' athletics and gymnastics and to standardize and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. The club holds regular meetings once a month. The activities offered during the year are: basketball, archery, soccer, and volleyball. This year, Joan Armstrong was G. A. A. President, Vice President, Carol Reigg Secretary-Treasurer, Margery Schweningerg and Intermural Chairman, Darlene Un- derwood. Miss Kleinfeldt was their adviser Play Days were held in the fall and spring. At these meetings girls from several schools participated for a half or a whole day in games and fun. The girls from each school were divided and placed on teams with girls from other schools in order that program of play with other girls was made possible. Letters were offered to the girls earning a required amount of points. The lo- cal award, a school letter, requires 1200 points. The first state award requires 1600 points, and the second state award requires 2000. These awards serve as an incentive for the girls to work and play with vigor. i261 E E STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, one of our school's newer organizations, is rapidly be- coming an integral part of our relationship between pupil and teacher. It develops a greater understanding between the faculty and student body, which, in turn, makes for a smoother operating school machine. During che past year the Student Council members have been striving to initiate a new and more vigorous school spirit by sponsoring pep stunts and by urging more student participation in various activities. The largest job which the pupil-governing body attacked this year was the war bond and stamp sales. The purchasing power of the high school student is large, and it has been directed successfully toward more war bonds and stamp buying. The Student Council oflicers who supervised the organization this year were elected for each semester. First Semester officers were Jim Bean as president and Joyce Klemmer as secretary-treasurer. Second semester leaders were Donald Feldman, president, Mary Meiresonne, vice president, joan Taylor, secretary-treasurer. The officers and class representatives met bi-monthly with Mr. White, their adviser, who must be commended for taking on the responsibility of directing the Student Council. ANNUAL STAFF This year Frank Van Houtte was elected the editor of the yearbook, THE SPHINX. Elsie Sassen was chosen as Frank's right-hand helper. Betty Sheets was chosen as typistg artist, Lois Taylor, business manager, Eugene Heller, and assistant business manager, Marvin Pobanz. The staff members were June McHenry, Lucille Firch, Virginia Ward, and Eu- gene Minnaert. Miss Madden was adviser of the yearbook. SENIOR CLASS PLAY Outward Bound, class play of '44, will be remembered as the first class play for years to deal with the serious drama. This was largely made possible by the all- school dramatics class play, presented a few weeks before the Senior Play. Because the dramatics class play was a comedy, the choice of type for the Senior Play was broadened, making possible the presentation to che Geneseo public of a more rounded dramatic fare than the usual annual comedy. The characters in Outward Boundv find themselves on board an ocean liner with an unknown destination. They finally discover one startling fact to be true for each of them, and at the end of the first act comes the dramatic curtain that made this powerful drama the only four-star play on the professional stage in 1938.
