The backward look is basis for perspective. More important scans the years of our lives yet to be lived, thing about that living if we approach our preparation adequate to solve those problems which the the century poses. We must be prepared so that we can recognize the dangers that us. Significant among these are: failing to recognize change in time, to adjust to it, relying on methods and processes that are hopelessly out- moded, over estimating our resources - material, intellectual, and spir- itual, refusing to co-operate in a world rapidly moving toward greater need of co-operation, because of greed allowing good ideas to languish and to be outdistanced by ideas of evil-doers. The schools and other social institutions basic to democratic nations must not lag in adiusting to changes that make new methods and proc- esses imperative if we would meet the needs of our times. Contrasts between 1901 and l95l make cnanges in schooling increasingly vital to the welfare of mankind. A half century ago there were fewer than ten miles of concrete roads in our nation. There were no tungsten electric lights. There was no sport page nor daily comic strip. Today radio, movies, and television serve the masses. Very elementary and often gaudy programs have become common through these mass media devel- opments. We enter the air age. We know atomic power. We need des- perately to build against the lag in human relations, to find ways to sub- merge violence, to remove causes of vice and crime, and to promote good will among all mankind. - Hugh S. Bonar - Looking Back And Ahead ' -- ,. .v,- .,. : ' Nfl The loyalty of alumnae is movingly clramatized as those who have sung in the A Capella Choir accept Paul l.ester's invitation to loin in singing the tra- ditional Vesper Bells which closed Christmas Vespers, December lO, That loyalty is also shown in the strong alumnae organization which each class carries on and in the continuing interest of the old grads in the school.

HISTORY Greek and Roman history was required of all freshmen. Sophomores could choose either European history or a science. The history of our own country was then an elective. ENGLISH In two years the student was supposed to have learned all there was to know ofgrammar,com- position and rhetoric. Work in oral English was not included, nor was American literature, now a requirement. MATHEMATICS Algebra for all freshmen, plane geometry for all sophomores show a marked curriculum variation. SCIENCE First high school in the nation to teach physi- ography Know earth sciencei, the subiect was included in either the first or the second year. Physics was a must for all third year students. LATIN Playing a stellar role in the old curriculum, four years of Latin were given to all students in the Latin and in the Latin-Scientific course, five and six were required in the Five and Six Year courses. Spanish, French, and German were also offered. AK f My VW f Wizfwfv - ,A 4 . f r,Wy,,W A new commercial department, added in Sep- tember, 'l9Ol, was an instant success with over 60 students the first semester. Subjects such as penmanship, commercial spelling, business letters, and commercial arithmetic occupied the attention of enrolling freshmen. The first domestic science instructor was hired in l9'l'l and quarters were arranged in the El- wood house for these classes. A revision of the homemalcing curriculum was carried out last year and extensive modernization of the food 'aboratories is now under way. instruction in manual training also was intro- duced in 1911, however, the first shops were authorized in l922. Training at present is given in auto, drafting, machine, printing, and wood shop and in vocational agriculture. Two hun- dredninety-one boys are enrolled in vocational shop, 53, in agriculture. Provisions for a physical director were made in 'l9ll, all first year students taking some work in gym. Next year the Board appointed a lady assistant in thegymnasiumf' Today all SfUCleD'fS must take gym five days a week. Instruction in music developed first under part- time instruction, the band being the first to be authorized f'l9l3D. Later full-time instructors were provided for both instrumental and vocal music. -ss 946 A program of health instruction whose aim was to make health and safety in- struction really workable was set up in 'l946. ln 1948 this was changed from one period aweek to a required semester subiect. ' wmsfrjf fz n-Mmm 4 , f K I9I Arising out ofthe preparedness program ot World War l, the R. O. T. C. unit has developed into an essential part of the school. A chance to learn and earn on the job is given to the Future Distributors of America. This program has won the hearty endorsement of Joliet merchants.

'QW I94 Recognizing a long-felt need, classes in driver's training were added to the curriculum. ...M WW I948 Students with speech defects receive individual and group help in order to correct their difficulties. Bedside instruction is provided for students whose physical condition may keep them out of school for part of, or for all, of the year. li To train deaf students to live in a hearing world IS the aim of the program of deaf instruction. Remedial reading attempts to give students who are handicapped by reading disabilities the chance to become better readers. To deal with students with social difficulties so that they may become happy and useful citi- zens is the work of the friendly social coun- selor. 1 1253?

Draper, then president ofthe University of Illinois, as the finest high school building in America was of distinctive Tudor Gothic design. Built of Joliet limestone with Bedford trim, the interior ot the building was made beautiful with hand carving of solid walnut 1 and with wainscotting ot Tennessee marble in halls and class- rooms. 1 ln 1923 the addition housing the Boys' Gymnasium and the cafeteria was completed. Directed by one group ot executives, J. T. had expanded to include a combination 3 of academic high school, Junior College, night school, continuation school, Americanization school, and voca- tional trade school. Growth ot the student body to i000 and the faculty to 38 in l9l5 necessitated the erection of the Junior College addition on Herkimer Street. This section was almost half the size of the original building and relieved the situa- tion somewhat, but still proved to be inade- quate. .

A possible fulfillment of these hopes for the future is suggested in the shaded area of the sketch. The location of a separate Junior College building, shown here in the A. O. Marsh grade school, might also be located in the block on the east side of Herkimer. Each item in this long-range plan represents a project necessi- tating much community co-operation, the overall goal would take many years to achieve. Yet, as we turn in retrospect to the dedication of a fine, new building to its high use on April 3, l90'l,we sense the vision in the leadership responsible for the achievement. We are aware, too, of a firm belief in the values of education and a deep com- munity pride on the part of the citizens who endorsed the venture. With that same vision, and faith, and community spirit, the dream campus of J. T. can become a reality. :xv-L-, x v X I 5 W ,f, Q2 if-g!':fL'!21:f-:gene !!515 1 ISQII ' ll'll-- f 1 .

Bonor 18 k of establishing a fine school and of carrying that school on to greater heights has characterized the work of many public spirited citizens who have served as members of the Board of Education. Serving from i923-l942, Dr. Marion K. Bowles held the longest term of office in the history of the Board. She has, too, an outstanding record of accomplishment to her credit. One of the first women doctors in the Community, Dr. Bowles saw the need of a health department and carried out its establishment. The large girls' gym is due to her realization of the inadequacy of the small one and to her ultimatum that she would vote against all measures until the girls received what they needed. lt was she who introduced physical examinations for girls taking gym, doing the work herself gratis. Her love of art and beauty increased both the equipment and the staffs of these depart- ments. Her belief in equality for women won for this school the policy of equal pay for women teachers. She strove to know the staff personally-by eating with them at the cafeteria, by visiting their classes, by ioining in their parties, by attending concerts, plays and other school activities. Thus the members of the faculty came to know and love Doctor. At all times they found in Dr. Bowles a champion and friend. y ,J xv , ,f or .25 N CHAMPION AND FRIEND of the teachers, Dr. Marion K. Bowles secured outstanding improvements for the school during the 19 years she served on the Board of Education. Her dedication to the good of the school was far beyond the call of duty. Devotion of Board Creates Better School A lasting monument to the progressive spirit of a wide awake community and the Pride of Joliet, Joliet Township High School was erected during i900 and dedicated April 4, l90l. The Board of Education responsible for its construction consisted of the Honorable A. O. Marshall, president, Honorable D. F. Higgins, T. A. Mason, Henry Banzet, and Henry Leach. Their aim was not only to construct the finest build- ing of its kind but also to foster and develop high TO MAKE a good school better is the aim of the Board, shown at their November 14 meeting - seated: Mrs. Verna Carey, secretary to J. Gordon Skeel, secretary to the Board of Education, Mrs. Dorothy Walker, president ofthe Board, standards of educational service to the community. Following in their footsteps, successive boards have enlarged the physical plant and added to its facilities, have kept pace with changing times by adding new educational services. Under the present Board ex- tensive improvements have been carried out and several new fields of work added to the curriculum. Raymond Lindblad, Dr. Suren Seron, Carl E. Meyer, Hugh S.

Superintendent Dean of Boys Dean of Women Deon, Jr, Cgllege Administration trives For Progress First of many able administrators was J. Stanley Brown, superintendent from 1899-1919, a man of outstanding leadership and devotion to the cause of education. A great organizer and a man of vision, he brought to J.T. the first iunior college in the U. S. Also of broad vision was his successor, L. W. Smith. ln the years he served C1919-281 many additions and improvements were carried out. W. W. Haggard 11928-19391 carried the school through a difficult period of retrenchment. The war years brought about a series of changes. Clarence L. Jordan, a magnetic leader, served from 1939 to December 1941, Leonard B. Wheat, who saw the needs of school, 1942-43, Roosevelt Bas- ler, who commanded the loyalty of the teachers, 1943-46, Donald M. Sharpe, well prepared to under- stand the problems of the school, 1946-47. Last to take over the destinies of J.T. is Hugh S. Bonar. Under his able generalship the school has started on a new period of development. Since 1947 many needed improvements to the physical plant have been made, more are planned for the future. Through his progressive leadership, many new courses and services have been added and develop- ments in curriculum study have made Joliet a recognized leader in the state. Again, through Mr. Bonar's work, J.T. is fulfilling the dream of its founders - one ofthe finest schools in the land! Refusing to step from the role of assistant super- intendent were two leaders of outstanding person- ality - Chauncey Spicer and Harry J. Atkinson. Their many years of loyal service have left an indelible mark on J.T. and on the lives of their assosiates. Graduation pins bearing this design were used by the Class of 1906. C. D.

These fine teachers have devoted all, or most, of their teaching careers to furthering the best interests of J.T. Loyally they have carried on the ideals of its founders, have cherished its traditions, and have made their contribution to its preeminence. Much of the past greatness of Joliet Township High School has, indeed, been based on this fortunate circumstance - that a large number of instructors have made the development of this institution their lite's work. ln acknowledgement of the debt we owe to them and in appreciation of the high quality of their service we list: Harry J.

A high school orches- tra performed at the dedication ceremonies of the high school in l90l. ln l9l3 Hiram Converse, who was conductor for 35 years, came to J.T. and under his able direction and untiring efforts, the Orchestra achieved many honors in the field of music. Since l9l3 it has grown from I2 to 40 players. ln its first few years of existence there was no definite practice room and rehearsals were held once a weelc in the old auditorium, present band room, greenhouse, or any other available space. ln 'l925 the Orchestra became a definitely established organization and Mr. Converse was employed on a full-time basis. At this time an orchestra room was also equipped with lockers and an accoustically treated ceiling. Enter- ing its first state contest in i927 at the lllinois State Normal University at Normal, the Orchestra won first place. Four years later, the Joliet Town- ship High School Symphony Orchestra again won the State Championship for the third consecutive time. A silver and bronze trophy was permanently awarded as a result of this honor. ln its 50 years of exist- ence, the Orchestra has competed successfully at contests held at DeKalb, lllinois, University of lllinois, Glen Ellyn, lllinois, Chicago Heights, III- inois, and other places. Since Mr. Converse's retirement in l9-48, the Orches- tra has been led by Peter Labella,Jr. Still upholding the fine record set in previous years, the Orchestra had a Division l Superior Rating in i949 and many other superior solo and ensemble ratings. Currently, under Mr. l.abella's direction, the Joliet Township High School Orchestra again completed a successful year. Assisting with the operetta, the senior play, and graduation exercises in the spring and giving their own concert with the Sophomore Chorus in April kept the Orchestra members busy. Larghetto by Handel, Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck, On The Trail by Fred Grote, Sona- tina by Beethoven, and Alice Blue Gown were some of the selections presented at a special pro- gram given on December l3 for parents, relatives, and friends of the Orchestra.

The Mixed String Ensemble, composed of six outstanding members, was represented this year by Stephen Lloyd, Barbara Marsh, violinists, Thomasine King, cellist, Richard Jones, contra- bassist, Nell Munson, violist, and Gail Binder, pianist. The ensemble played for the Big 8 Press Conference, G.A.A., W.A.A., and many civic organizations. High-lighting the years' activities was the trip to Champaign-Urbana on November 24 and 25. At this All-State Orchestra Convention repre- sentatives from musical organizations met to discuss mutual problems and practice assigned selections. Solos and ensembles were entered into the District and State Contests in the spring. On the social calendar were hayrack rides, parties, sleigh rides, and attendance at several concerts in Chicago. Officers for the past year were Wayne Fosnaugh, president, Nell Munson, vice president, Barbara Marsh, secretary, Pat Jones, treasurer, Gail Binder, social chairman, and Muriel Weinstein, publicity chairman.

Any member of the freshman class interested in learning to play a stringed instrument may sign up for Junior Orchestra and will be furnished one of the four stringed instruments. This Junior Orchestra also provides an instrumental opportunity for those who cannot afford a musical education. When members of this beginning orchestra sufficiently complete the course, they are graduated into the Senior Orchestra. Also new this year are the Orchestra awards in which members of both Orchestras compete for points. The awards are chenille scripts and lyres in blue and QOH- The Orchestra achieved a high standard of per- formance in the annual Spring concert on April 6 Practice makes perfect as Muriel Weinstein and Pat Jones rehearse for the orches- tra concert, which is given in the spring. which was conducted by Peter Labella. During part of the program the Orchestra was combined with the Sophomore Chorus under Walter Rodby. Thomasine King, featured artist, played the Mozart Concertina for piano, accompanied by the orchestra. Classical selections played consisted of Bach, Handel, Saint-Saens, and Sullivan. Popular music was taken from the works of Kern and Anderson. The distinguished Perpetual Motion by Coral Bohn was also performed. Mr. Rodby conducted selections from Oklahoma for chorus and orchestra. ln closing the program Mr. Labella conducted Psalm l5O by Cesar Franck. With many fine honors and awards behind them in past years, the Joliet Township High School Sym- phony Orchestra looks forward to many more such achievements.

Who was the first super- intendent? How can we identify this old photo? These are iust a few of the many problems which confronted the 1951 yearbook as they recorded 50 years' progress in this Golden Anniversary lssue. First yearbook in history of J.1'., The Iollier, was published in 1906. This publication was made pos- sible, according to Miss Glenna Hamill, a member of the 1906 staff, because general manager J. L. Keeling was able to finance the book with money left him at his parent's death. Other Iolliers were published in 1907, 1910, 1911, and 1913. Gaps in publication represent periods when financial reverses of previous years made an annual that year impossible. Since 1916 continuous publication has been possible although the hard depression years did necessitate the use of a paper cover in 1932. ln 1922 Miss Mabel F. Hunt took over as adviser for the yearbook. That year the name was changed to Hi-Col because a combination college and high school yearbook was produced. 'lhe following year, 1923, the I received its name. Miss Hunt was succeeded in 1948 by Miss Evelyn Dietlein. Entered in N.S.P.A. competition for the first time in 1949, thef won first place awards in 1949 and 1950. Using the Golden Anniversary theme, the 1951 year- book staff has added many more pages, enlarged the introductory section, increased the number of photo- graphs, and in general has done everything in its power to make this gold covered I bigger and better than ever!

Senior statistics from yearbooks - On stage everybody - first curtain. Again there is all the excitement of opening night of the senior play, which has been an outstanding event of the seniors for 50 years, Cheaper by the Dozen, and the cast was filled with excitement. This year Cheaper by the Dozen, a three act comedy, delighted the audience. Based on the best-seller by Frank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey, the story revolves around the Gil- breth family - father, mother, and the 'l2 children. Father fRonald Brodskyl a distinguished scientific factory manager by profession, makes the Gilbreth home a laboratory for eliminating waste motions by using the children as guinea pigs. With this theme as the main plot, many humorous scenes occur throughout the play. The play was given March i5 and l6 under the direction of Burdette Johnston. One of the early notable plays was Eigensinn, presented in l905, entirely in German. First at- tempt of its kind in the history of J.T. plays, even the tickets were printed in German. ln response to the request of the high school ad- visory board to help raise S5400 for a statue of Louis Joliet, funds from class plays presented in the years i903-i908 were donated. This was only one of many valuable gifts to the school which has been possible through proceeds of plays. As You Like lt and A Midsummer Night's Dream, the only Shakespearean plays ever produced, were pre- sented in l906 and l9'l6. ln the l930's J.T. produced two future Hollywood stars. First was Kluseman Larry Parks, who played the part of Gilbert Carey in Mother Carey's Chickens in l932. Second was Audrey Totter, class of 'l936, who is listed in the senior statistics as Amiable, talkative. A new development was the beginning of the two- night perfonnance in l940. Miss Catherine Wood took over dramatic direction in i945 with Junior Miss. Death Takes a Holi- day, i949 play, was the first senior play directed by Mr. Johnston at this school. The J.T.H.S.

McAllister is trulyan inspiration to all who seek new horizons. Responsible for organizing the band here in l9l2, when he was a manual training teacher, A. R. McAllister was appointed full time director in December, l9l3. From humble beginnings and under his direction the J.T.H.S. band grew to in- clude ll2 members and to become internationally known. Mr. McAllister was in charge of the band until his death in October, l944. He organized the lllinois School Band Association in l924 and served as its president for two years. ln l926 he organized the National School Band Association and served as its president for several years. He was also a member of the American Band Masters Association. After McAllister's death, the direction ot the band was undertaken by Alex Zimmerman until the post was given permanently to Bruce H. Houseknecht in 1945. 41 i 5 3 e Q i 5 5 i OUTSTANDING DIRECTOR BRUCE HOUSEKNECHT leads band in another stirring performance.

The band achieved permanent possession of the National Championship trophy after winning the national championship three years in a row - I926, l927, and 1928. It again achieved victory in the national contests of 1931 and 1933. Upon abandon- ment of these national contests in I933, the band achieved Division I - superior rating in regional contests of T935 and l938. These were abandoned during the war years, so that now only state final contests remain. The band has made concert tours covering the Unit- ed States from New York to California and from Mexico to Canada.

Another triumph was the winning of the Lions International Championship in Chicago. The most recent and perhaps the greatest honor shown to the Band was an invitation to appear in Washington, D.C., as guest band during the Sesqui- centennial Celebration in the summer of 1950. The group left on August 3, and returned three days later after playing a concert on the Capitol grounds and two days of extensive touring. BAND SPONSORS AND ACCOMPANISTS - ROLL Une: l.. Drew, M.

The varied program ranged from specialty numbers, such as Dry Bones to such classical pieces as the first movement of Beethoven's Sonata, Opus 27, No. 2, The Moonlight. Other featured and highly entertaining numbers were Oodles of Noodles, arranged by Joliet's Ed Biship, and Moylcowslfis' Bolero. Drums Along the Front, featuring Robert Porter, Donald Williams, Merwyn Dan, Tom Goodwin, and Glenn Ruthenbeclc, formed an im- pressive finale. This concert served to give Jolietans a preview of the special concert which the Band played at Glenbard Township High School on February ll. This event, for the annual Artists Course of Concerts, was sponsored by the Band Parents Association of Glen Ellyn. Last year the University of lllinois band was the featured at- traction on this series. District competition was held this year March 31 at Blue lsland and the state contest took place at Peoria April 27 and 28. Two spring concerts were presented by the band this year.

Forming such an organization was the idea of three Joliet High School Stu- dents atter visiting Wendell Philips High School, Chicago. At this school they were able to see a Cadet Corps in operation. Beginning with an ini- tial enrollment of 32 members and four officers, the J.T.H.S. R.O.T.C. has expanded to l80 members and 22 officers. ln l9l9 the School Board felt it nec- essary to hire a full-time instructor, Colonel B. J.

Five lucky girls from the iunior class are to serve in their senior year as sponsors. A sponsor is chosen for each company and one for the entire battalion. The announcing of the choice of sponsors is a big occasion because it is considered a great honor to be chosen as one. The sponsorship carries along with it the rank of Honorary Cadet Captain. Their chief duties are to help the boys plan social events, to lend color to parades, and to generally keep up the morale of the Unit. Successful in developing leadership and training of- ficers, the J.T.H.S. R.O.T.C. Unit has many former Cadets now serving out country in the Armed Forces as commissioned officers. Another of the services performed by the Unit is its participation in the various patriotic parades and demonstrations which take place in the community. f F , 5 L l.

About i2 matches are held a year against neighboring schools, academies, and other R.O.T.C. units. Three high firers for the year were Jim Needham, Dick Scholtes, and Dick Glasgow. R.O. owes much of its preeminence to the work of the commanding officers who are stationed here for a period of three years. Late in 1949 Maior Gibb came to Joliet to take command, replacing Lt. Col. Carleton Merritt. NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS-First Row: G. Hoff- man, G. Baenteli, D. Evans, D. Carlton . . . Second Row: R. Johnson, D. Jensen, R. Guigler, R. Lasser, N. Frapp, R. Grenchik, J.

Student en- thusiasm and the help of various faculty members and Y.M.C.A. officials caused the club to expand so that it was soon split into groups according to classes. Today there are four high school clubs affiliated with the local Y.M.C.A. Donut sales, pencil sales, and collecting paper were some of the projects undertaken by the vari- ous clubs during the year to raise their donations for the World Service Fund which gives aid to Y.M.C.A. sponsored organizations in foreign countries. This year Hi-Y began its fall program with an officers' training program at Palos Park. Plans were made for the year by the officers and advisers at the two-day training camp. Outstanding social events of the year included a mother-son banquet, and a date banquet both of which were held in the dining room at the Y.M.C.A. Dances, parties, socials, and hay-rack rides were part of the individual club sponsored activities conducted throughout the year. Aiding in the functioning of the l'li-Y groups are the sponsors of the clubs. The advisers are: freshmen, Guy Haines, sophomores, Louis Salcal, juniors, l-larris Enderson, seniors, Perry Goranson. Don lmig, faculty member, and Vern Harper, boys' work secretary at the local Y, both contributed a great amount of time and energy to help the clubs function. Officers for the first semester included: senior club, Britt Barr, president, Bill Gaskin, vice president, Richard Obermayer, secretary, Ralph Fox, treasurer, iuniors: Art Galli, president, Don Rusina, vice president, Martin Mackay, secretary, Jack Benham, treasurer, sophomore club: Bill Robinson, president, Ken Hovland, vice president, John Burns, secretary, John Smith, treasurer, frosh club: Tom Turner, president, Gerald Fox, vice president, Bob Johnson, secretary, Leroy Gaskin, treasurer.

Membership in the National Honor Society while in high school corresponds to the Phi Beta Kappa in col- leges. ln i926 students so honored were selected at a special assembly before the whole student body. Each year fifteen percent of the senior class is chosen, five per cent of these during their iunior year, and the re- maining ten per cent during their senior year. Anyone who fails any subject is automatically barred from membership. An Honor Society Club, a group composed of N.H.S. members, was organized in l935, and produced the first all-school frolic, You're Rocking the Boat. It was unanimously considered one of the entertaining shows FIRST' HONORS go to iuniors chosen for N.H.S. inAApril, l950. They are: Raw One: S. Batson, J. Anderson, N. Swinfin, R. Renick, M.

The purpose of this first, to raise funds for the in- show was threefold: stallation of a public address system, second, to unify the various clubs and organizations by united effort on one proiect, and third, to provide an outlet for student talent. To advertise this student show, a poster con- test which was open to all students of J.T.H.S. was sponsored. The show was a huge success, thus aiding the class of i935 to purchase a badly needed public address system for its class memorial. ln l936, this club held a popularity contest, electing a boy and a girl from each class as the eight most popular people in the school. The purpose of this was to increase the circulation of the f Hi Journal which was very satis- factorily done. Various other worthwhile projects have been completed by this group, each one helping to J.T. a better school. Marti, S. Robertson, G. Vose, N. Richards, S. Hieronymus, E. Rang, M. Whitlark. . .

In l94l a most important enterprise was undertaken by N.H.S. This was a plan by which members of the society help underclassmen who are having difficulties with their studies. ln giving this assistance it was hoped that these underclassmen could be kept from failing.

Z Highest Honor Is Adam Award Winners of the Adam Award for the Class ot i95l have been: Shirley Hieronymus and Terry Renter, freshman year, Rebecca Renick and Robert Dan, sophomore year, Nell Munson and Earl Stellwagon, junior year. Terry Renter has attained the highest average of the boys for all three years, but as one cannot receive the Award twice, it went to next in me. Winning the Adam Award is the goal sought by every J.T. scholar. It is the highest honor awarded in recognition ot a student's exceptionally good work in his studies. ln memory ot her late husband, Charlena D. Adam established the Robert M. Adam Award in T921-l. Having been one of the first contributors to the College Loan fund, Mr. Adam had been impressed by the tact that we had trophies tor excellence in athletics, medals tor outstanding achievement in music, but no tangible recognition for superior scholarship. It was atter Mr. Adam's sudden death in an auto accident when his widow established this award. Holder ot the highest scholastic ratings of the class of 1951 are the Adam Award winners-First Row: S. Hier- 'K,g. heat' ,pm 'UH A solid gold pin is given at Commencement Exer- cises to the boy and girl in each ot the tour high school classes having the highest average in scholarship tor the year. A similar award, a solid gold key, is given to the top ranking boy and girl in each of the two classes in Junior College. A student may not receive this honor twice, and in case this happens, the award is given to the student next in rank. Receiving the Award for the Class ot i952 were: Barbara Ann Marsh and David Lloyd, freshman year, Joyce Schiek and Charles Abbott, sophomore year. Marilyn Fris and Jack Grohne, Class ot 'l953, received the Award in their freshman year. The Board of Education gives valedictory scholar- ships to tive high schools outside ot Joliet Town- ship. These are awarded on the same basis as the Adam awards. Students from outlying districts are also given valedictory scholarships. For example, the student from Mokena with the highest average who graduates from J.T. will be given the free tuition rates that a Joliet resident receives. onymus, N. Munson, R. Renick . . .

Membership is open to anyone who wishes to donate time and effort to assist at school events. Ushering at school functions does not alone comprise the schedule of the Ushers Club. Many social events, held throughout the year, are truly a well deserved reward for the members of this worthwhile club. For the past few years, the Ushers Club has been in the capable hands of their sponsor, Mr. James Rick- hoff. Officers for the past year have been: Ed Vincent, president, Colin Eckert, vice president, Bob Lasser, secretary-treasurer, Gloria Peters, head of girls' usher, Bob Wright, head boys' usher. Working on scientific proiects, planning field trips, and entering national contests are activities which keep the members of the J.A.M. Club busy. Speakers also hold the interest of the club with talks on scientif- ic subiects. Occupying most of their time were individual projects which were entered in a Bloomington contest. Organized - years ago by Noble Beniamin, the Junior Mineralogists became the Junior Academy Members last year. Membership has been greatly increased this year by the addition of Miss Royxe Humphrey's Biology ll class. Under the co-sponsorship of Noble Beniamin and Wil- liam Hughes, the J.A.M. completed a very successful year with the following serving as officers: Radleigh Becker, president, Barbara Holmes, secretary, Walter Myers, treasurer, Carol Ann Beniamin, publicity chair- man. .ff-'9 3 - 1 4,4 is f .r f f in 'ffm USH ERS CLUB - First Row: R.

Officers of this year were: Richard Longman, president, Diane Summers, vice president, Marcia Nelson, secretary, and Charles Paton, treasurer. Assisting teachers with audio-visual work in class rooms are the proiectionists, a group of students who volunteer their help to the school. They meet several times during the year for group instruction and often come in for individual practice.

'FIREFLYAR DIATES MELGDY A D COLCDR Music which seems to come from heaven, colorful costumes, soft lights, beautiful scenery, humorous comedians, and the amusing antics of buffoons all have their parts in the annual A Cappella Choir operettas. One of the earliest operettas was ':The Mikado, presented in 'l922. Larry Parks starred in Martha in 1930. Later outstanding performances have been: Naughty Marietta, Chimes of Normandy, Rosemarie, The Fortune Teller, The Prince of Pilsen, and this year's outstanding production, The Firefly. Thrilling a full house all three nights of its staging was the melodic Rudolf Friml work, The Firefly. The theme of this operetta revolves around the adventures of Nina, a little street singer, who is disguised as a boy, goes as a stowaway to Ber- muda, on the some boat with a group of society folk. Nina is accused of theft and of being the notorious pickpocket Tony. She is finally cleared, her identity is revealed, and she wins her hero, Jack Travers, who has been pledged to Geraldine, the rather plain niece of Mrs. Van Dare.

The chorus combined their efforts with the Ballet and Modern Dance Club, directed by Mrs. Phoebe Kirby and Mrs. Gloria Pohl, to present a new type of choral and dance production. . Opening the concert with The Evening Prayer from Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck, the chorus closed the program with an outstanding number, The Voice of Freedom, in which the Modern Dance Club was accompanied by the chorus. Carol Dougherty was soloist in Cindy and Mrs. Alma Makeever was organ accompanist for the evening. The Ensemble, composed of girls selected by try-outs, sang for many civic organizations and clubs all over town. This year, for the first time, the chorus appeared with the A Cappella Choir in their Annual Christmas Concert. The chorus ended the year with their per- formance at Commencement with the Freshman Chorus. Since 1948 the Sophomore Chorus has been under the able direction of Walter A. Rodby. 64 Chorus Sings with Grade School Band Highlighting the work of the Freshmen Chorus this year was its appearance this spring as guest artists of the Joliet Grade School Band which is under the direction of Charles Peters. Directed by their leader, Walter A. Rodby, another out- standing performance was at the traditional appearance with the Sophomore Chorus to sing at commencement, June 6. The lilting beauty of Liszt's Les Prelude basedon a poem of Lamartine, Meditation Poetiques thrilled the audience. Throughout the year, the group presented exceptionally fine selections from the old masters-Bach, Schubert Schuman, and Tschaikowsky. Contemporary composers were presented by the works of Harvey Cowell, Will- iam Schuman, and Richard Rodgers. I The group began as a separate organization in i944 when the Junior Chorus divided into two groups- freshman and sophomore. lts popularity with freshman girls made necessary the division into two groups in l949. One chorus meets the regular 7-8 period, another, during l5-l6. Officers of the 7-8 period chorus were Carolyn Thomas, president, Jean Swinford, vice- president, Janice Hancock, secretary, Janice Arnold, FRESHMAN CHORUS 7-8-First Row: M. Facinelli, M.

T.H.S. ever since its organization. The foundation for our present day Student Council was a Student-Teacher Council. This Student-Teacher Council, which was organized in l92l and lasted until l937, followed the same purpose as our present organ- ization, to act as go-between for faculty and student body. The Student Council and lnner Council that are now in existence were organized in the 1940-1941 school year under the name of Student Government Association. Perhaps the most important action of the Student Council to date has been the plan of exemption from final examination for any student in a course in which he earns a B. A recent service to the school was the installation of the Student insurance plan which was put into action in the l949-i950 school year. This plan, which offers four coverages, was introduced by the Student Council. The privilege card system, also introduced by Student Council, began in the i949- 1950 school year. Privilege cards were issued only to Student Council members at first, but this year they have been extended to others. The lnner Council of the Student Council is composed of officers and committee heads. The group met with Superintendent Bonar four times during the year and discussed school problems. Dick Smego and Pat French ruled as king and queen over l8O couples at the annual Student Council dance Egyptian Escapades, held October l9 in the com- bined gyms. Roy Gorden's orchestra furnished the music. Audrey Niethammer and John Donahue, co- social chairmen, were in charge of the event, with Dave Kropp supervising decorations. The welfare committee, with Norman Lathrop as chairman, helped with The Oasis and publicity was handled by the publicity committee, headed by Catherine Kuhar. Elected representatives from each homeroom compose Student Council making a total of ll5'members. A general meeting was held every Monday. At this meet- ing, committee reports were given and new problems were brought before the Council by representatives. ln order that committees function more efficiently, a new plan was installed this year. This provided for theplacement of as many members as possible in room 2l9 periods l5-l6 every day in order to work on com- mittees. Also at these meetings, problems given to Miss Alice Tennyson, sponsor, by the faculty members were presented to the students. The Student Council does not have a definite yearly calendar as most organizations do, but instead works on problems brought in by students and teachers. Again this year, the Little Black Book,', a complete list of names, addresses, and phone numbers of stu- dents and faculty, was printed. This book was the result of many hours of work by the student directory committee, headed by Sandra Cline and Helen Warren, co-chairmen. To increase school spirit, the pep committee under Dick Obermayer, chairman, held two pep assemblies, one during the football season and one for the basket- ball season. Ray Morello and the Building and Grounds committee worked to find ways in which blocking of parts ot the hall between classes could be stopped. The library committee, under the leadership of Mary Lou Richards, helped to organize a freshman library committee which solved problems that came up in the freshman library, Room l-41. ln order to teach students to be better citizens, the citizenship committee, headed by James Needham, each month selected a boy to represent J.T.H.S. at Rotary club meetings. The job of the Students Relations committee, led by Ray Bolden, was to approve all recommendations for privilege cards and revoke the cards of those who abused their privileges and those which were held by people failing in a subiect. Sheila Christie, chairman, and her welcoming commit- tee, planned the annual Step-Up Day assembly for incoming freshmen. The annual Student Council assembly, planned by the assembly committee, headed by Kay Oottleib, was given in February. To bring new ideas from other schools to J.T.H.S. a delegate was sent to the state convention, held in Chicago, and lnner Council members attended local South Suburban and District Conferences. One of these was held November 4 at Forrest. Better Relations Between Faculty, Students STUDENT COUNCIL-First Row: G. l-ockell, T. Long- necker, R. Smeets, R. Bolden, P. Eberhard, J. Fitzgerald, E.

Checking on props is Larry Flink while Verna Tibbs, Ginger Buckley, and Lenore Renner wait to go on. First Chapter in the state and nineteenth in the country is the boast of the Joliet branch of the Future Craftsmen of America. The club was organized under its present sponsor, F. J. Renner, on April 23, l935. The group has led an active existence since then. ln l936, much needed club rooms were secured. ln l937 Joliet was host to boys from all over the state who were interested in F.C.A., and it was then that the state organization was set up. ln l938, delegates from Joliet attended the national convention in De- troit, Michigan, and in l939, Mr. Renner was appointed to the position of state adviser. Throughout the war years, F.C.A. gave numerous parties, movies, and dances for servicemen and was commended for its help in the war effort. The Cavalcade of Stars, annual talent show sponsored by the F.C.A. and featuring all high school talent, was first presented in l94l, but was not made an annual event until l945. This year for first the show was presented in the evening instead of in the after- noon. This performance, held on November 9, was an outstanding success. F.C.A. also sponsored various exhibits and show cases and license caps for cars. Only craftsmen are accepted as members of F.C.A. Goals of the club are to motivate and improve schol- arship and to promote fellowship among students interested in industrial education. This year's officers are: president, Ray Kambic- drafting, vice-president, Ray Conroy-auto shop, secretary, Richard Knupp-print shop, and treasurer, Richard Regganie-woodshop.

Although this club is relatively new, being organized in i942 by Elmer Rowley, it certainly has proved it- self by excelling, winning many high honors and blue ribbons. The winners, however, claim they couldn't do it without the advice of their sponsor, Max Kuster. This group also attends many conventions, the high- light being the National Convention.

Pep Club Boosts School Spirit, Morale Everyone agrees that this year the school spirit at J.T.H.S. has been better than ever. Responsible for this is the first annual homecoming parade and dance, backed by the Pep Club. The parade, consisting of 42 decorated cars, was followed by a pep rally on the library lawn. The homecoming dance was as huge a success as was the parade. Yes, J.T.H.S. would be a very dull place without the Pep Club, which, since its organization in l945,has been urging us on to greater school spirit. Did you go to the West Aurora Game Friday? l certainly did. Wasn't it exciting! And we had a swell time coming home on the bus. The organization responsible tor this enthusiasm is the Pep Club. To promote school spirit, the club sponsors buses to out-ot-town games. But that's not all. Under the guidance of John Schnei- der, sponsor, and Margaret Passas, president, Betty Branchaw, vice-president, Nancy Richardson, secre- tary, and l..ois Moon, treasurer, the club sponsored a homecoming dance, do-nut and tatty apple sales, and donated money for the cheerleaders' new uniforms.

Headed this year by Sandy Norian, president, Ray Bolden, vice-president, Rat French, secretary, and Edward McCann, treasurer, and under direction of Miss Marie Hooper, sponsor, the club continued its program of helpfulness which it has undertaken since its organization in l942. At that time, 25 students were members, since then, Junior Red Cross has grown to be a leading service group of the school. An aim toward which the Junior Red Cross strives every year is the 10025 enrollment of J.T.H.S. A student can belong by giving as little as one cent or as much as he wishes. Donations are used for such things as sending stamps and stationery to the T.B. Sanitarium, filling gift boxes to be sent overseas, and giving Christmas presents to the children of families who receive R.O.T.C. Christmas baskets. The budget for this year provided for spending 5150 to help till gift boxes, S150 to till the school chest, S25 for the enrollment fee to National Red Cross, S100 for Community service, and S80 for leadership and training. Gitt boxes, sponsored by Red Cross and filled by the students of J.T.H.S. were collected this year in Jan- uary. They constitute one of the most worthwhile proiects of the organization and are sent overseas to needy peoples of Europe. One of the main proiects of the group was sending five members to the Junior Red Cross camp at Bloom- ington, the last week of August. Those who attended were Sandy Norian, Ray Bolden, Joyce Neighbors, Ruth Kalden, and Linda lsaacson. Sandy Norian and Ray Bolden were each named mayor for a day, Bolden in addition being honorary mayor of the V1 lr, . I , V A ,112 SAM xl g i lk l l 10096 ENROLLMENT IS AIM of home room 343.

Junior Red Cross and the remaining two by the down- town Red Cross office. Larry Elink attended the Junior Red Cross division -of the National Red Cross convention at Detroit, Michigan, where he heard Gen- eral George C. Marshall speak. His trip was sponsored by the downtown Red Cross office. The Junior Red Cross assembly was held this year on November 29, when Arthur Armstrong, assistant Junior Red Cross Director for midwestern areas, spoke on the aims and purpose of the J.unior Red Cross. Still another important job of the Junior Red Cross is to provide entertainment for such institutions as the Will County Sanitarium, convalescent homes, and orphanages. These programs, given on Sunday after- noon and consisting of all high school talent, are under the direction of Miss Frances Nelson. Home Room 375 won a trophy for contributing the largest donation to the annual enrollment drive.

Tri-Hi-Y Stresses Service For Others Pure thoughts, pure words, pure actions is the slogan which all Tri-Hi-Y girls repeat at every meet- ing. lt exemplifies the type of life which each Tri- Hi-Y girl strives for as a result of her membership in this worthwhile organization. With the purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character in mind, three groups of Tri-Hi-Y were organized in l944, freshman- sophomore, iunior, and senior. Today there are six clubs: one freshman, two sophomore, two iunior, and one senior. This year marked the opening of the impressive new women's division of the Y.M.C.A. lts modern, at- tractive club rooms were used for Tri-Hi-Y meetings and all other facilities were made available to members. Service proiects are the most important phase of Tri-Hi-Y work. Needy families were given baskets of food on Thanksgiving and at Christmas, and Christ- mas carols were sung by the groups at hospitals and orphanages. Besides this, the girls made favors for hospital trays, ushered at Y plays, served at Y banquets, and participated in Christmas celebrations at the HY. This year deleaates from each Tri-Hi-Y club attended an officers' training conference at the Community Center Foundation at Palos Park. At these conferences, the delegates discussed various phases of leadership. ln i946 the Joliet Tri-Hi-Y sent representatives to the Student Government Association and in the same year was chartered by the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Association. In i948 the clubs donated 500 dollars to the World Youth Fund. ln the spring of l950 all Tri-Hi-Y clubs participated in the First Model Youth Legislature held at Spring- field. Also in i950 a statewide retreat was held for all members of all clubs. Zenol Moore, the women's and girl's secretary of the Y.M.C.A., works with the program committees of each club in planning varied programs. These programs consist of outside speakers, panel discussions and movies. At ioint Tri-Hi-Y meetings this year the girls enioyed talks by Warden Regan, from Stateville Penitentiary, and Douglas Monahan, secretary of youth work in this area. At a combined meeting with the Hi-Y a discussion was held on problems concerning boy-girl relationships. This year the Junior Tri-Hi-Y held a mother-daughter banquet. The girlspaid for their mother's dinners with money from the treasury. Each Tri-Hi-Y had its own social activities which included splash parties, theater parties, barn dances, hayrack rides and sport nights. The Tri-Hi-Y Council, which consists of the presi- dent, secretary and two delegates from each club, again sponsored the annual spring dance, held at the Y.M.C.A. and open to all students. The council also sponsored sports nights and a barn dance. The officers of the council this year were Mary Ann Belin, president, Georgene Vose, vice- president, Marguerite Simpson, secretary, .lean Schmitz, treasurer, and lnger Sandberg, publicity chairman. Stamp. Math Clubs Cffer Varied Interests To further the knowledge of facts for which there is not time in regular math classes and to stimulate an interest among students of advanced mathematics are the purposes of the Math Club. Since l949, its members have enjoyed a variety of programs. At the opening meeting this year a play called Math for the Millions was presented. Other meetings included guest speakers, Lee Aseltine, who spoke on Successive Differences, and Earl Kurtz, who discussed Geometric Forms Used in Art. A book review of Flatland was given, and Tidbits from the Library was one of the many topics dis- cussed. Having debates and working on puzzles and tricks also play a part in their programs. With Mary Lou Fisher as sponsor, the officers include Radleigh Becker, president, Norma Dick, vice-presi- dent and program chairman, and James Love, secretary- treasurer. MATH CLUB-First Row P.

Lane, K Gould, Mrs. Fox, T. Hogan Organized in l945, under the guidance of C. B. Peter- sen, the Stamp Club has given many students a chance to meet other stamp collectors. Ever since its outset, the club has performed one of the most worthwhile services in the school - the packaging of stamps for wounded soldiers at Hines Memorial Hospital. Once a week throughout the year the packaged stamps are taken to 50 interested ex-servicemen. The three phases of the club work which appeal most to the l5 members are: business meetings and pro- grams which include a study of terms used in stamp collecting, collecting and discussing current com- memorative stamps which honor historical events, trading stamps and first day covers. Most emphasis is placed on U. S. stamps, but some foreign stamps are collected. Officers for this year are: Rosemarie Airoldi, presi- dent, Shirley Schroba, vice-president, Barbara Atkin- son, secretary-treasurer, and Dick Hancock, program chairman. STAMP CLUB-Left to son, L.

Spanish, Art Clubs The Brush and Palette Club, although the newest club at J.T.H.S., is well on its way to becoming the busiest. Organized on October 20, the club immedi- ately began to plan for the coming year. One of the most important jobs of the art club this year was to help make scenery for the Christmas Vespers. The 28 members also painted posters ad- vertising functions of school organizations. Programs of the art club consisted mainly of lectures and demonstrations by professional artists. The club attended art exhibits and took field trips to the Art Institute in Chicago. Members also sponsored do-nut sales to raise money. Officers of the Brush and Palette Club during its first year of existence were: Walter Bernadyn, presi- dent, Dave Kropp, vice-president, Carolyn Peterson, secretary-treasurer, and Carol Cullen, program chair- man.

A candlelit Hallowe'en ceremony, patterned after a Mexican custom, was one of their unusual programs. Taffy apple sales and a Christmas potluck supper at the home of their sponsor were other highlights of the year. Programs at the meetings consisted of koda- crome pictures of Mexico and South American countries.

Gridders Had Fighting Spirit Then Fifty years ago football was only on inter-class activity. ln l902 the Board of Education hired Coach Wilson S. Kline to build a team for J.T., but he had to do more than build a team. He also had to build a football field. Coach Kline selected 25 promising boys from the school and trained them. After training was finished for the day, they worked on the field. The first game in J.T.'s football history was against Aurora, played here in Joliet. Joliet won l2 to O. Outstanding players were Chuck McFadden, Ferguson, and Brown. The most one-sided victory was, probably, in l9'l3 when the Steelmen went for an 80 to O victory over Chicago Heights. The same situation in reverse occurred in l920 when J.T.'s rosy future was shat- tered on the rock of rules. Two days before the first game, the Illinois High School Association set up new rules which made l3 players ineligible. Since 80 seven of these were regulars, the season proved to be the worst in J.T.'s history. That year J.T. suf- fered a l00-O defeat to Rockford. The 30's were the best decade. Coach Doug Mills guided the Steelmen to four straight championships, in l932, l933, T934, l935. The fourth championship, however, was shared with Rockford. And as the 30's proved our best decade, l94l was the best season in Conference play. The Blue and Gold were undefeated Conference champs and placed second in the state under Coach Herman Walser. Herm also led the Steelmen to second place in 1944 and in T947. Under Coach Russell Leksell who took over as head football coach this year, the Steelmen have carried on with the fighting spirit that has thrilled local Jol- iet fans since 1902. Varsit Maintains Fighting Spirit Varsity Steelmen, under the capable direction of backfield Coach Russel Leksell and line Coach Ralph Kohl, had a very successful season this year. They lost their first two games and then came back to blast all of their conference foes except the Elgin Maroons, who went on to win the Big 8 championship. One of the maior factors for the success of the Joliet team was the spirit shown by both the school and by the boys themselves. The Joliet squad as a whole was light, fast, and aggressive with capable reserves. Coach Leksell used a modified platoon system that gave his op- ponents a great deal of trouble. Tony Vrakas and Tony D'Amico were outstanding offensive guards, while Oscar Birsa and Laybron Boykin held down the defensive positions. Other stellar linemen were tackles Ken Viano and Phil Peterson, centers Ron Payne and Art Galli, and ends Sam Pribish, Jack Benham and Ray Pekar, who also did much of the team's kicking. The Joliet backfield, paced by speedsters Ike White and Dave Walton, started slow but gained mo- mentum as the season progressed. Veteran quarter- back Larry Molck handled the team excellently, while Rufus Sims added power to the backfield. Two iunior backs, Bob Tackas and Bill Terlep, also were outstanding in the Steelmen backfield. Other boys who saw considerable action this year were Mackay, Sallase, Skul, McGowan, Landry and Flow- efS. VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD-FIRST ROW-A. Galli O. Flowers, B. Briese, D. Birso, R. Gaynor, R.

Gridders Give Stellar Performance HARVEY-Joliet fumbled their way to a I2-O defeat at the hands of the Harvey Wildcats. ln the first period Joliet had the ball on the 4 yard line of Harvey but the Steelmen were unable to put it a- cross. lreland and Abbott starred in the Wildcat backfield, while Dave Walton played brilliant ball for Joliet. Galli, Viano, and Vrakas led the Steel- men forward wall. EAST AURORA-Joliet won its first victory of the year by blasting their Big 8 Conference foes from East High Aurora by a score of l9-'l4. The accurate passing of Dave Walton and Larry Molck and the capable receiving of Ray Pekar and Sam Pribish proved to be the difference between the two teams. The Steelmen line also looked very good on offense. EAST ROCKFORD-Joliet's first homecoming proved to be a terrific success as an inspired Steel- men team blitzed the Rubs by a score of 33-7. lke White and Dave Walton led the team with their spirit- ed running. The whole Joliet line played sen- sational football and Rockford's only score came late in the last period. Touchdown's were scored by: White, Walton, Pekar and Pribish. EREEPORT-The Joliet Steelmen, playing on a rainsoaked and muddy field, set back the Pretzels by a score of 6-2. The speedy Joliet backfield never Peterson Boykin Tackle Gwlfd Walton Molck Back Back could get going, but the mighty Steelmen line kept the Freeport backs in check all through the game. The line accomplished the almost impossible feat of stopping the Pretzels four times inside the Joliet 'l0 yard line. LASALLE-PERU-Led by two iunior Backs, Bob Takas and Bill Terlep, who each scored once on tricky reverses, the Joliet Steelmen defeated La- Salle-Peru by a score of l3-0. A Larry Molck to Dave Walton pass accounted for the extra point. The Joliet forward wall led by Payne, Peterson, Vrakas, and D'Amico didn't give the Cavaliers a chance to get rolling. WEST AURORA-Despite the sensational run- ning of all-stater Dean Guzeman, Joliet upset the favored Blackhawks by a score of 19-14. Dave Walton scored the first Joliet touchdown on an 85 yard runback of the opening kickoff only to have Dean Guzeman duplicate the same feat by going 95 yards for the first Blackhawk score. After that the two teams played on even terms until lke White in- tercepted an Aurora pass in the last quarter and went for a touchdown to give the Steelmen victory. Other scores came on a 75 yard run by Guzeman and a four yard smash by White. The Joliet line played consistently good football. Skul Viano Tackle Tackle McGowan Holden End End Terlep Tackas Back Back Payne Wh ite Center B ack Vrakas Pekar Guard End D' Amico Pribish Guard End Rushing Line, Backfield Drive MARMION-The Cadets from Marmion won their first football game over a Steelmen team in the 'IO years' history of competition between the two schools as the Cadets edged Joliet by a l3 to i2 score. The Steelmen scores came on intercepted passes by Ron Payne and Bill Terlep. Playing their first game of the season, the Joliet team were rag- ged but showed promise of better times. WEST ROCKFORD-Joliet ended their season with a i9-i3 win over the West Rockford Rabs. Led by Dave Walton, who went 57 yards for the first touchdown, and Rufus Sims, who sparked the Steel- men play with his powerful running, the Joliet Steel- men took second place in the Big 8 Conference. The Joliet line did not have much trouble holding the Rabs back and Rockford capitalized on Joliet's fumbles to get their scores. The Steelmen T.D.'s were made by Walton, Sims and Takas. WEST AURORA-Despite the sensational run- ning of all-stater Dean Guzeman, Joliet upset the favored Blackhawks by a score of i9-iii. Dave Walton scored the first Joliet touchdown on an 85 yard runback of the opening kickoff only to have Dean Guzeman duplicate the same feat by going 95 yards for the first Blackhawk score. After that the two teams played on even terms until lke White intercepted an Aurora pass in the last quarter and went for a touchdown to give the Steelmen victory. Other scores came on a 75 yard run by Guzeman and a four yard smash by White. The Joliet line played consistently good football. Landrey Flowers Back Back Sims Galli Back Center Fans Cheer Grid Teams To Victor . Honors were brought to ..l.T.H.S. this year by two outstanding players. Dave Walton was named first string halfbaclc, and Tony D'Amico first string guard on the all Big 8 conference team. Much to the disappointment of the Joliet fans both boys were overlooked in the balloting of the all-state team. At the annual award assembly, held last Decem- ber in the combined gyms, Phil Peterson was named Honorary Captain of the T950 Steelman team and Dave Walton was chosen by his teammates to re- ceive the most valuable player award. The J.T. homecoming was an innovation this White makes a try for an end run. year, it proving to be very successful. A parade composed of over 60 decorated cars and floats and two bands marched through the loop and came to a halt at the courthouse square where a pep rally was held. Another pep rally was held at the Richard Street field where a huge bonfire was built. These two events together with the size of the crowd showed that the spirit of J.T. is definitely on the upgrade. The fine support given the team by the fans was a big factor in the success of the Varsity gridders this year. TOUCHDOWN P ASS - Sam Pribish snags a pass in the end zone. , . we If f , WW!

Steelmites Display Varied Talents The freshmen-sophomore football squad had a better than average season, winning six games and losing four, three of these defeats however, were 6-0 setbacks. Coaches George Fahrenholz and Ken Parker worked hard with the boys and with any luck at all could have had a rnuch better season. Highlights of the Steelmite games were the 13 to 6 victory over the Rabs of East Rockford in the first Joliet Homecoming. Another was the last game of the season when they upset a powerful West Rockford team, 20-19. Larry Bertignoli, Bill Takas, Bill Pierce, Le- Roy Sykes and Charley Bray, who was iniured at mid-season, were most impressive in the backfield. Tony Costa, honorary captain, Bob Keir, Elmer Giampaolo, Bud Eazio and Dick Agnich stood out in the line. MARMION-The Steelmites opened the season with a 37-0 win over Marmion. Kapinus scored twice and Bray, Sykes, Tackas and Pierce each once. Bertignoli passed for one T.D. and set up the other. HARVEY-Led by Sykes and Bray, the Mites won their second straight by a l4 to 8 score. EAST AURORA-Having two touchdowns called back in the first quarter, Joliet lost a thriller to East High, 6-0. ELGIN-Joliet Steelmites lost their second straight conference game to the Maroons of Elgin, 6-0. The Elgin score came on a 90 yard runback of a recovered fumble. EAST ROCKFORD-With Tackas leading the way, the Joliet Steelmites defeated E. Rockford in the first Joliet Homecoming i3-6. The whole Joliet team played outstanding and inspired football.

Steel Midgets Show Fighting Spirit This year's Freshman team, again coached by Don Kienlen completed a somewhat less than sen- sational season with a record of one win, two ties, and six losses. The Steel-midgets had a bit of bad luck, Ben Kapinus was iniured and lost to the team, Don Kapi- nus, star guard, and Leroy Sykes, a very fast and clever back, were both moved up to play with Coach George Farenholz's team.

In its infancy the J. T. basketball team played in inter-class games. It wasn't until 1910 for the first time that the Blue and Gold cagers entered inter- school competition, winning the county championship in that year. One of our most successful seasons was in 1916 when the Blue and Gold won 20 out of 22 games win- ning for them the North Eastern Illinois champion- ship which gave them the privilege to compete in the state championship with which they lost to Bloomington. J. T. entered the Big Six basketball conference in 1917, taking third place that year. A decade later in 1927 they captured first place honors in the con- ference. When the Steelmen captured the district basket- ball crown in 1920, the city literal ly went wild. Games were played in Joliet, with tickets selling for 10 dollars. Five thousand spectators came to watch Joliet upset Waukegan, 50 to 14. ln 1923 the Steelman again showed their skill whenthey won Districtand Sectional championships. ln the state championship playoff they went all the way to the semi-finals. The early 30's proved to be very cold for the Steelmen. But in 1935 they copped the district and sectionalcrowns, became Big 7 champs in 36, and again sectional champs. J.T.H.S. climaxed its greatest season in the history of the school in 1937 when the Walsermen won the Illinois Basketball Championship at Cham- paign. The Walsermen defeated Decatur 40-20 in the most one-sided final in 20 years. They also were conference champs. The Walsermen's hot streak was cooled off in 1938 when they won only the Blue island invita- tional Tournament and the 1939 season was only average. ln 1941 the Steelmen finished in a tie for first place with East Rockford in the Big 8 conference. The last time Joliet had a chance for the Big 8 title was 1948 when they were nosed out in the last con- ference game of the season. ln 1949, under the direction of Coach A.A. Wills, Joliet won the regional tournament in a sudden death overtime victory over Thornton of Harvey. Squads Do Their Best For J. T. VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD-FIRST ROW-D. Lindemer, L. Molck, D. Williams, L. Seneker, C. Holden, B. Page. SECOND ROW-R. Payne, D. Fritz, B. Martin, Under the leadership of a new varsity coach, Ken Parker, the Steelmen had a fair season, winning 7 and losing TS. Joliet finished sixth in the Confer- ence--winning 3, losing 7 in Conference play. The Steelmen started out with about eight men equally rated as starters and this array of talent was gradually boiled down to a team composed of Linde- mer at center, Holden and Gerencher at the forwards, and Pekar and Williams at the guards. The ready and able substitutes included Fritz, Martin, Benham, Seneker, Payne, Gutierrez and Renfer. Curt Holden showed, as the season went on, his natural ability in rebounding and shooting. His steady playing and clear thinking were one of the few bright spots in what was otherwise a mediocre season for the Steelmen. The occasional sparkling play of Williams and Pekar mixed with this steady play of Holden made the Steelmen look like the ball club they should be. Williams fine play was especially noted in the Hins- dale Tournament where he gave a superior demon- stration of his passing ability. Pekar gave evidence of his value by making, time after time, long looping Coach Ken Parker, J. Benham, L. Penosky, R. Pekar, T. Renfer. set shots that seemed to come when the Steelmen needed them. At times during the season, Dave Lindemer showed signs of coming to life. There seemed to be some nights when he couldn't miss, and then there were nights when he couldn't buy a basket. Hope for next year is given by the fact that Ger- encher, Lindemer, Benham and Williams will be re- turning letter winners. Next year's team should be a better one, for Coach Parker will have his system well established.

Under the basket is Lindemer, Davis, Jayvee, Frosh Competition Tough With a season's record ot seven wins and tive losses the Junior Varsity team has shown some fine basketball talent. The squad, which consisted of nine players, was coached by Russell Leksell. Jack Benham, Dave Lindemer, and Ray Grencher, who were members of the varsity squad, also saw action on the J.V.'s. Otherwise the team was com- posed of Platt and Sarnicky at the forwards, Mackay at center, with Prieboy and Penosky at the guards. The team had little reserve strength, however, Esler, Picciolo, Golli, and Birsa came through when needed most. Some of the schools which the Jayvees com- peted against were Marmion, Mooseheart, Bloom, Blue Island, Thornton ot Harvey, LaGrange, Wheat- on, and Kankakee. All games were played on a basis of experience to improve the boys for varsity competition next year. The J. T. Steelmidgets, under the wing ot coach Herm Walser, finished the season with an average of tive wins, and eight losses. The Freshmen Five were pitted against such teams as Lockport, Bloom, Thornton of Harvey, the Marmion Cadets, LaGrange, and Kankakee. This year's team was spiced by the brilliant team playing of Bob Endres, Gene Hann, Bill Rick- hoff, and John Fritz. Although they play for no conference record, or for honors of any kind, the freshmen squad put all they had into each game, realizing that the training that they are getting this year will come to fruition when they play on the Frosh-Soph team next season, and later as they become members of the varsity.

Experience was gained by all T7 squad members, most of the boys being of equal caliber. Various styles of play were used by Coach Kohl including the open center and double pivot. How- ever, the double pivot stood out during the season with Jim Percich and Leroy Whites ide playing the pivot posts. Although Bill Tackacs and Chuck Den- nison started two-thirds of the games at the guard position, Merron Seron, Bill Pierce, and Pete Vaira were also likely starters. The fifth man was picked WATCH IT, REF! Jim Persich and Ed Corwin battle with a Freeport player for the rebound. Coach Ralph Kohl, B. Tackas, J. Errek, E. Corwin, L. Whiteside, L. Persich, D. Hann, S. Wadsworth, J. Getson. out ofa group which included Bob Ross, Ed Corwin, Dave Hann and Joe Errek, but Ross was us ua l ly given the nod. When the double pivot was not installed, Corwin and Ross were usually found at the forwards. In the center position one of three boys-Percich, White- side, or Hann-was used. The guard post still held Takacs and Dennison. The team's record of six wins and T3 setbacks does not tell the story of the Steelmites season because many games were lost by one or two points. Joliet's underclassmen found the Big Eight Con- ference plenty rough as they only won two games. Strangely enough both victories came at the expense of a strong Elgin team who were close to the top of the heap. The mites held a conference record of two wins and eight defeats. In open competition the Kohlmen fared better with a season's standing of four victories and only five downfalls. Lockport was the victim of two Joliet winnings with Calumet City and Normal Community making up the quartet of victories. Taking defeat hard and victory in stride was Coach Kohl's idea of sportsmanship. This was very evident, for in victory or defeat a real fighting spirit was displayed by the entire team. Compete With Top Grapplers VARSITY WRESTLING SQUAD-FIRST ROW-T. D'Amico, J. Costa, R. Olivero, B. Porter, T. Policond- riotes, M. Pacheco, J. Barry, D. Stapay, J. Smith, D. Joliet's fine wrestling team had an outstanding year. Although competing against some of the finest teams in the state, Joliet compiled an outstanding record of nine wins, one loss, and one tie. In the Sectionals Joliet made a good showing by placing third behind Blue Island and Thornton. As a result of the sectional competition Joliet sent a four man team composed of Costa, Pacheco, Lopez, and Krause down state to wrestle in the state meet held at Champaign. One of the outstanding wrestlers this year was Jim Costa, I65 pounds, who went through the season with only one defeat, capturing a first in the sec- tional meet. Co-captain Marselo Pacheco, l33 pounds, took a second in the sectionals and a fourth in the state. Co-captain Tony D'Amico won third in the sectionals and had only one defeat in regular season competition. Other boys who rounded out this year's team were: Krause, IO3 lbs., Lopez, II2 lbs., Stapay, 127 lbs., Smith, I32 lbs., Lloyd, 155 lbs., Poli- condriotes, I38 lbs., Porter, I45 lbs., Campbell, i32 lbs., Sharpe, Il2 lbs., Barry, I27 lbs., Plese, I32 lbs., Olivero, I54 lbs., Drew, heaveyweight and Peterson, heavyweight. Peterson did some out- standing wrestling until his graduation at mid-year. Krause. SECOND ROW-Coach Goranson, D. Campbell, D. Drew, D. Lloyd, R. Lopez, R. Sharpe, Z. Guitterez, manager. Prospects for next year are very good as Costa, Krause, and Lopez will return to head next year's aggregation. Pacheco will also have a half year of eligibility left before he graduates. Coach Perry Goranson was pleased by the spirit and determination shown by the boys on this year's team. Next year, says Coach Goranson, we should have a good well-balanced team with plenty of new talent. This year for the first time in the history of JT a Fresh-Soph wrestling team was organized and coached by Don Kienlen. The underclassmen com- piled a very good record of eight wins and one loss. According to Coach Kienlen the boys showed plenty of talent and should prove to be a big help to Goranson next year. s. f IX i Wrestlers Place Third In Seetionals SEASON'S RECORD Joliet 24 ..... ...........................

This record is considerably better than that of the previ- ous year. Ronald Payne, George Bauer, and Joe Boris paced the team in the hitting department. Terry Renfer, Tony Salese, and Zeke Senekar pitched several good games during the season, while the infield posts were held down excellently by Bob Brasher, Dick Renschler, Leo Penosky, and Ron Payne. Veterans from last year's team who sparked the I95I aggregation and were back to the diamond included Larry Molck, Elmer Bell, Ray Pekar, and Russ Oli- vero. The record for the I95O season was: Joliet 8 - Elgin 5, Joliet IO - Blue Island 2, Joliet 3 - Argo 5, Joliet IO-Catholic High 7,JoIiet 9 - East Rock- ford 6, Joliet 3 - Morgan Park Military Academy 5, Joliet 3 - Elgin 4, Joliet I2 - Catholic High 2, Joliet 4 - Lockport 6, Joliet IO - Catholic High 2, Joliet O - Argo 8, Joliet 6 - Lockport O. Soph players who moved up to the varsity this year and bolstered the hitting and fielding department were Bob Tackas, Ed Esler, Bill Briese, Don Birsa, and Art Galli. Coach Lou Sakal again piloted the freshman-sopho- more baseball team to a fairly successful season. Playing only six games they broke even, winning three and dropping three for a percentage of .500. Their season's record was: Joliet I7 - Lockport 5, Joliet I0 - Morgan Park Military Academy I, Joliet 3- Blue Island 5, Joliet 6 - Lockport 9, Joliet I3 - Bloom 4, Joliet 5-Morgan Park Military Academy 6. Bob and Bill Tackas led the Steelmites, ending up with the highest batting averages. Other boys who showed great promise were Dick Agnich, Jim Prouty, Larry Bertignoli and Bill Pierce. Linksmen Have Spirit of Champions Members of 1950 Golf Team who went down- state: D. Eden, B. Pellegrini, J.Slack, E. Falk. Climaxing a successful season with a brilliant vic- tory in the district tournament, Coach Herm Walser's i950 golfers went on to take fifth place in the State meet at Champaign last June. In regular season play Joliet encountered some stiff competition and was victorious against such potent teams as East Aurora, West Aurora, La Grange and others. They also set back their crosstown rivals from Catholic High with the score l6-8. ln the district meet, the entire Steelmen team played outstanding golf, and although they were pressed closely by Harvey, Naperville, and Blue Island, they took first place and won the right to compete at the State meet. Throughout the season the Joliet linksmen compiled a record of 8 wins against 4 losses for a percentage of .666. Captain Bob Pellegrini led the team with a season's average of 77 closely followed by Ernie Falk with an average of 80. Other scores were D. Eden 83, H. Miller 87, R. Pell 88, D. Knupp 89, and J. Slack 89. ln the conference meet the Steelmen, again paced by Capt. Bob Pellegrini and Ernie Falk, placed third behind East Rockford and West Rock- ford. The prospects for this year's team seem very good for the fighting Steelmen. They have s-ix returning lettermen, losing only Howie Miller through gradua- tion. Another bright spot in the golf picture is the increasing popularity of the sport at J.T. According to Coach Walser there are more boys coming out for the team and as in recent years the freshmen squad members have been especially talented. As for the chances for another championship team next year, Coach Walser states, lf the boys play together and show as much team spirit as they did last year we will surely be in there fighting at Champaign this spring.

All-star teams from each class competed for the all-class championship, and being on a winning team was quite an honor. Activities in the first years of G.A.A. included field track, bicycling, hiking, skat- ing, and swimming. ln l929,a slogan was adopted for G.A.A.: Pro- mote, in girls, ideas of health and sportsmanship . A great variety of activities was offered in 1933: gymnastics, interpretive dance, tap, swimming, riding, corrective gymnastics, hockey, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. The year l933 also marked the completion of the girls' gym, and the dance classes celebrated this event by presenting Spanish Fiesta, a demon- stration of the types of Spanish dance. An annual informal dance has highlighted the social program of G.A.A. ever since its beginning. ln recent years play days, workshops, father-daugh- ter play nights, and numerous other activities have been added to make G.A.A. one of the most active organizations at J.T.

Features To promote a wide variety of wholesome sports to be enjoyed by the young men of our school. That is the object of intramurals, as first set forth by Mr. Zillmer, former Joliet Township High School faculty member, who was responsible for the start of the organization in the fall of l94l. The intramural sports association was organized, governed, and promoted by the boys of our school under the sponsorship of a member of the Physical Education Department. Today the intramural sports association is operated the same as in the year it was founded. lt was decided that a board of control would be elected each year by the active members at a joint meeting in the fall. The board of control also ap- points the necessary-committees and commissioners of sports who are to be in complete charge of their activity or sport for the entire season. lntramural officers are also elected at the joint meeting held each fall. All boys are eligible to participate and hold offices except letterwinners or members of the present interscholastic squads. Alo sports in which sufficient interest has been shown have been offered throughout the year. The fall schedule covers touch-football, tennis, golf, and bowling. Basketball, swimming, ping-pong, boxing, wrestling, volley ball, and handball make up the list of winter sports. For those who enjoy softball, track, and badminton, keen competition is given by the spring sports. sv Row: L. Barutello, D. Drew, D. Erickson . . . Proving to be the champions in l.M.

Team,IndividuaI Competition For II Medals, ribbons, and certificates of merit are a few of the many awards given out each year which every boy has an opportunity to win, Two maior and two minor letters are awarded each year to boys who have accumulated the greatest number of points in respective divisions. Points are awarded on the basis of final team and individual standings in each sport. These who have been in charge of intramurals since its beginning include Mr. Zillmer, organization's founder, who headed it from l94l-T943 when he went into the Navy, Don Kienlen from 1943-1948 and Neil Lance, new member of our physical education de- partment, who took over in l948. At a meeting held in the auditorium last fall, Coach Neil Lance outlined the various programs and activ- ities for the year. Officers and commissioners were also elected. Officers for l95l are: Bob Porter, president, Ricky Bates, vice-president, and Bill Robinson, secretary-treasurer.

Bolton, The varsity tennis team, again under the cap- able direction of Coc :h Russel Leksell, looks for- ward to another successful season this spring. The tennis squad will most likely be built around three seniors who are returning lettermen: Bill Bolton, Glenn Harvey, and Dick Rodgers. Bolton played third singles man last year while Rodgers and Harvey formed a very effective doubles combi- nation. Another likely candidate with a lot of talent is Roger Rommel who should prove to be a consistent point-getter. Other boys who will make up the team include Dick Schoenstedt, Gerald Krause, Jim Lam- bakis, and Dennis Murphy. This year's schedule, according to Coach Lek- sell, includes some of the best teams in this area- Hinsdale, Blue Island, Bloom and many Big Eight schools. Plans are also being made to hold the district meet here again this year. Hopeful for a good season, Coach Leksell em- phasizes the fact that tennis is a sport based on the individual player and that the practice and the efforts of each player is of the utmost importance.

Choosing the heads of activities, promoting interschool friendship, and supporting good sportsmanship are also among their duties. G.A.A. officers, or members of the Cabinet, are elected in the spring by the entire organization. These qualified girls are chosen from a group nom- inated by the Cabinet and senior Board members and heads of activities on the basis of good scholastic rating, leadership, ability, and participation in G.A. A. activities. Candidates who are not elected in the spring automatically form the G.A.A. Board for the new term. Leading G.A.A. under the dynamic supervision of Miss Martha Wetzel are: Virginia Cernick, president, Emma DiDesiderio, vice-president, Marie Hovland, secretary-treasurer, Donna Manthei, head of activi- ties, Marlene Holl, publicity chairman, and Bea Peterson, social chairman.

Tartans of the var- ious clans were well represented at A Highland Fling, a dance held after the Joliet-Freeport football game. Helping to acquaint parents with G.A.A. were the Mother-Daughter Tea and the Father-Daughter Sports Night. Various playdays during the year help the girls meet new friends from other schools, while the ioint meetings held in J.T. help the girls to become bet- ter acquainted with their fellow members. Letter sweaters, G.A.A. pins, white blouses, and dark skirts becomes the uniform of G.A.A. members on the first Tuesday of every month, when the Cab- inet ana' Board hold their monthly meeting. Buy some Steelmen stationery was the call this year of the G.A.A. homeroom representatives as they sold stationery, distributed exclusively by the GirI's Activity Association. Honorary Clubs Perform for Students The Modern Dance and Ballet Clubs of G.A.A. were featured in the dance chorale concert presented by the Sophomore Chorus in December. Espana, the Wooden Shoes from Sweethearts, l'll Take Romance, a waltz, and The Voice of Freedom were performed with grace and ease by the dance clubs. The most outstanding of all was the Nutcracker Suite, a Christmas fairy tale fantasy, with choreg- raphy by students, under the direction of Mrs. Phoebe Kirby and Mrs. Gloria Pohl. The story tells of a little girl at Christmas who falls asleep and dreams of Russians, Arabs, Chinese, Mirletons, and flowers dancing through fairyland through which she is lead by her fairy prince.

Returning Lettermen park Thinelads The Joliet Track team, coached by Don Kien- len and Ken Parker, has a bright outlook for the coming season. With Captain Dave Walton leading the way, the Steelmen are entered in seven meets. Walton, who placed fourth down state last year, will again run the 440, dashes, and the relays. The relay team has not been completed yet, however, Curt Holden, a 440 man, is a likely prospect. In the half mile Coach Kienlen has such tal- ented runners as John Gudac, Clarence Schmitz, Don Singletary, and Don Blasdel who will also run the mile. In otherevents Hank Mc Gowan will be a weight man as well as a hurdler. Other hurdlers will in- clude Bob Porter, Elmer Sims and Phil Small, who will also high jump. With his ability to throw the shot Bill Terlep will be a valuable point getter along with Odell Flowers, dash man, and Charles Givens, dash and broad iump. Ken Viano will par- ticipate in all field events with pole vaulting as his specialty. With these boys in mind, the coaches are looking for o successful season. FRESH-SOPH TRACK-FIRST ROW-W.
