As director of the choir, ensemble, Quintones, and swing band, he arranges and conducts these groups in the annual musicale, concerts, programs, assemblies, and on their annual tour. He advises the students m music and education, and those he teaches can always receive en¬ couragement and advice from this man whose outstanding attributes are patience, understand¬ ing, and friendliness. A hard worker and staunch supporter of school activities, he is ready to help in any way at any time. He not only teaches music, he lives it to its fullest extent and serves as a constant inspiration to young beginning musicians. For these reasons, we of the Shield staff would like to dedicate to you, Dr. Hal Dellinger, our efforts in this book, as you so often have dedicated your efforts to us. eMal bellinaesi HUGH H.

Every commencement many graduates say how much they have enjoyed junior college and how fast the time has flown. Thus it will be with most of the rest of your lives. Time rests easy on the shoulders of those who have learned many of the basic lessons jun¬ ior college teaches. You have learned that life has success as well as defeat, that today lived, well makes yesterday and to¬ morrow better, that every now and then you get slap¬ ped when you thought you would get praised, or vice versa, and that friends are more precious than gold. You hav.e learned that life can be beautiful as well as sad, and that you can cope with the problems it brings. You are to be complimented, for you have achieved something of which you can well be proud. (Elmer W. Rowley Dean Joliet Junior College) ELMER W. ROWLEY, Dean, Junior College B.S., University of Illinois M.A., University of Chicago SUSAN H. WOOD, Assistant Dean, Junior College Assistant Director, Adult Education B.S., University of Illinois M.A., University of Illinois. Never before in the history of America have col¬ lege-trained young men and women been so eagerly pursued and so highly respected. Today tha social role of an individual is determined not by “who he is but by “what he can accomplish.” May you, the students and graduates of Joliet Junior College—the future farmers, business men, sec¬ retaries, engineers, technicians, teachers, nurses, doc¬ tors and homemakers—be ever mindful that the prob¬ lem that transcends all others is how to bring peace and justice to the world. Temper your skills with tol¬ erance, reverence, humility, courage, loyalty, and a deep sense of moral values commensurate with your roles of leadership in tomorrows world. (Miss Susan H.

FRESHMAN CLASS In September, 1956, the 399 freshman students of JJC elected their officers. Dick Wilhelmi was chosen as their president, Tom Ariagno as vice-president, and Rosemary Anderson as secretary-treasurer. The semester change brought a new vice-president as Sparky Hauck stepped into the position vacated by Tom. Of the collegians elected by the student body to represent them on the Student Council, four were freshmen. Thus the freshman class had a voice in all Junior College activities. Relieving the old adage that “action speaks louder than words,” not only voiced their opinions on activities, but also partici¬ pated wholeheartedly in them. Freshmen repre- sentatives-at-large to the council were Rick Ander¬ son, Russ Hamilton, Dom Raino, and Judy Speck- man. The sponsorship of the annual New Year’s Eve Dance was assumed by the class officers this year, and the student reaction to it was the same as the freshman’s idea of his year—“A good time was had by all!” Anita Agan Nancy Ahrens Walter Albers Donald Aldeen Jack Amorose Charles Anderson Kenneth Anderson Richard Anderson Rosemary Anderson Thomas Ariagno Gary Arling Robert Arling Charles Arnold Michael Ashford Nicholas Athanitis Henry Atkinson Ben Bakanec Thomas Balia Jack Ballak Raymond Ballinger Eugene Baker Robert Barnes Carl Batson Joan Batson John Bazzoni Ardis Beach Richard Begler Paul Belin Elmer Bell John Bengston William Bengston James Bennett Gerald Bergan Robert Berst Armand Bianchi Ben Birsa William Black Lewis Blessing Wayne Boden Robert Bokoski Thurman Bolerjack Robert Bolte Ronald Bolte Daniel Boucher Kenneth Brainard Dolores Branchaw Marilyn Brennan Gary Brieser Fred Brock William Brockman Thomas Broderick Morton Brown Stephen Brown John Brozovich Virginia Buck Richard Budde James Burke William Burns Walter Bussey William Butler George Calamaras Francis Caneva Don Carlson Edward Carlson Suzanne Carnegie Anton Carollo Beverly Carpenter Robert Carr Carole Carson Duane Carter Jim Cassani Milan Cebasek Ray Chaloka Sheila Christie George Chubb Caryl Churchill Carol Colstock Paula Connor Donald Conroy Marilyn Cooper t Bill Crate Russ Dahlen Thomas Daros Leslie Davis William Davy Mary Jane Dede Dan Demos David Dennis Frank DeSandre James DiBartolomeo Robert Dickson William Dillon Joy Donaldson Robert Donoghue James Downey James Downing Merle Drew Leonard Dulka Barry Dupre’ Robert Dvorak Robert Earle George Economides Edelgard Eichholz Donna Elberts Jarvis Elmore Kenneth Engleman Eva Marie Enis Janet Erickson Genaro Escobedo Robert Eyrich Linda Farmer Rudolf Fasco Gary Fellows Dan Felus David Ferguson Edward Ferretti Helen Fiddyment Albert Filippi John Fish Frank Fleischman Leroy Fordyce Bill Fothergill Carole Fris Gerald Fris Jonna Frosch Jim George Dale Gerlt Joyce Glinz Paul Gorman Dorothy Gray Roy Green George Gribbins Kenneth Griswold Judy Gruenwald Thomas Gustafson Dan Gutierrez Roger Habenicht Robert Haberkorn Russell Hamilton Rosalie Hanson Marge Harmon Ronald Harnack Jerome Harris Pat Harrison Robert Hart Everett Hauck Glen Heisner Raymond Hill Edward Hinton John Hirschfeld Diane Hochberger Wayne Hoffman Janies Holder Charles Holmes Bob Horton Robert Horvat Robert Horvath Frances House Willia ' m Hughes Ted Hurst Sylvia Isaacson Ted Janies James Jay Karen Johnson Ken Johnson Marvin Johnson Shirley Johnson James Jones James Jordan John Joutras Robert Judnick Anthony Kamnikar Gerald Kane Leonard Kapala LaVerne Kastman Edward Keeley Kent Keeley Paul Kelly ' Robert Kier Andrew Klavins George Klepec Janet Knauer Frank Knowles Thomas Knutson Daniel Kobe Peter Konjevieh Richard Krapf Michael Kristich William Krohn Frank Kuehner Karleen Ladd Gordon Larson Paul Laskovsky Charles Latham Jerry Lavely Wayne Lea Joseph Legan Allan Lempke Tony Lewandowski Alan Lewis James Lofke Jack Long Albert Longnecker Paul Lopez Walter Lorenc Wiley Loveless Carolyn Lowry Jay Luhtala Jim Lunningham James Macy Roberta Maday Robert Mandel Marshall Mantia Thomas Marchio Fred Marentic Richard Maske William Mason Eugene Matesi David Mauer Vincent McAsey Janet McCart hy Terry McCarthy Albert McCloud Allen McCowan Roger McDowell Ray McGrath Rolaert McIntyre Harry McNally Jerry Meyer Kenneth Miller Russell Miller Charles Misiurewicz Kenneth Molnar Lee Vaughn Moore Susan Moore Pat Morgan George Morris Stanley Morris John Mostyn Dallas Munter Joan Murphy Joe Mussario Paul Mussario George Nahas Roger Nahas Lester Nelson Leroy Nielsen Dominick Nolan John Nord Richard Norris Don Nugent William Nussbaum Keith O’Brien John O’Donnell Sondra Oldani Dolores Pagliei Derakl Parclue Henry Parkhurst Joseph Pasteris Dorothy Patterson Stuart Pearson Bobbie Peck Kay Louise Pickles Patricia Plank George Plese Lance Porfilio Oscar Poston Virginia Powell Mary Alice Prynn Peter Pullara John Racich Matt Racich Patricia Rafter Dom Raino if -

Galleae Cj oesuunent The Student Council is the voice of student government. The representatives discuss problems of the school and offer solutions to these problems. However, there was one which gave them quite a bit of trouble—how to get rid of Sherlock without hurting his feelings. So Kay Bussey, whom the representatives chose presi¬ dent; Mel Jager, the group’s vice-president; and Sue Fleming, who got the task of keeping everyone’s motions straight; got together with the following club repre¬ sentatives and gave Sherlock a run for his money: representatives at large Spiro Bruskas, Sue Fleming, Dom Raino and Judy Speckman; Veterans’ Norm Neman- ich; Lettermen’s Rich Lasser; WAA’s Kay Powell; JC Players’, Marie Chalstrom; Press’s Marcia Ayers; Engineer’s Armand Bianchi; Business s Leroy Schmidt; Future Teachers’ Jackie Bourrie; and Choir’s Kathy Young. However, this group became so attached to Sherlock, and his bloodhound especially, that they decided to keep both of them as mascots. Corisequently, Sherlock witnessed many of the activities of the Student Coun¬ cil this year when he obligingly fell for the skating parties, tripped the lug fantasti¬ cally at the homecoming dance, and simply kept an eye out for all college events. f Stop the presses! Hold everything! For a mo¬ ment Sherlock would like to question the “Peo¬ ple of the Press” concern¬ ing his search. These people who are responsible for the writ¬ ing, editing, and publish¬ ing the BLAZER; “Wolf Call”; and SHIELD, the JC annual, could be of great help in. ending his search because of their contact with the student body and coverage of all affairs. Sherlock questioned Stan Wiechec, who is president of the club which is open to anyone working on any or all of the three publications. Other officers to be questioned were Edelgard Eichholz, vice-presi¬ dent; and Joyce Glinz, secretary-treasurer. Sherlock found that Matt Picciolo, under the direction of Mr. Shirley Winter- roth, was in charge of printing the BLAZER each month. The WOLF CALL was discovered to be made up of pertinent news that formed a column for one of the local newspapers. Many Press Club members con¬ tributed news and had designated beats to cover. Mrs. Kathryn Dejarld compiled the weekly column. Marcia Ayers and Matt Picciolo Joyce Glinz and Stan Wiechec EXTRA!

CnaiMeete, ' Club The Engineers’ Club headed by Drew Castle, meets once a month to hear a Joliet area engineer talk about his special field of engineering, whether it be mechanical, electrical, civil or chemical. The club is closely associated with the Joliet Chapter of Professional Engineers. The professional engineers during Engineers’ Week in February gave an award to Edward Mallory as the outstanding en¬ gineering student in JC and to Andy Klavins as an outstanding engineerihg student with artistic ability. The Engineers’ Club awards the engineering students who were on the honor roll with a gold or silver pin as a sign of scholastic achievement. On a basis of 4.0 as perfect, the gold pin is awarded to those with an average of 3.4 and over, and the silver pin to those with an average of 3.2 to 3.4. This year thirteen pins were awarded.

The club also has the nurses from Silver Cross Hospital who are probationers as part of the membership. SMS has traveled this year on two field trips to Chicago. The first was to the Uni¬ versity of Illinois Medical Center on the south side, and then to the Northwestern Medical Center on the near north side. The club also sponsored the “Dance So Others May Walk,” a part of the city-wide fight against polio by Joliet teens. Their annual Christmas party was held at the West Pines Hotel.

Gheesdeadete and Pompon Qi ' iU The purpose and aim of JC Cheerleaders is to cre¬ ate a fighting spirit among the players by keeping the spectators occupied cheering the team on to victory. It is the further aim of the cheerleaders to keep aloft a higher standard of sportsmanship re¬ gardless of victory or defeat. Those who deserve a great deal of credit because of the excellent way they cheered the Purple and White team on to vic¬ tory are: Toni Sowa; Jean Uhde; I£athy Rakoski; Ginny Maitland, co-captain; Orie Seron, captain; Beverly Carpenter; and Joan Murphy. The girls wore purple sweaters and white slacks during the foot¬ ball season and white blouses and purple skirts for the basketball games. “One for the money; two for the show; three to get ready; now go, Wolves go,” is one of the newly organized Pompon Girl’s cheers. This popular group was organized in the fall of ’56 to keep up the school spirit. Their attractiveness and originality made the games interesting, as well as inspiring. This group is composed of Judy Yahn, Kay Weiss, Rosemary Robbins, Jonna Frosch, Carol Colstock, Judy Speck- man, Barbara Seffens, Rosemary Anderson, Sue Carnegie, and Dolores Pagliei. The Pompons may be identified by their white skirts and sweaters, and purple and white pompons. FRONT ROW left: Judy Y. Kay Rosemary R. Jonna ! Carol RACK ROW Judy S. Barbara Rosemary A.

One was a joint meeting with the Art Club at which the supervisor of art in the Joliet Public Schools showed movies of his trip to Mexico. At other meetings films of the lives of Helen Keller and Billie Davis were shown. The first semester the F.T.A. elected Jackie Bourrie, president and Student Council representa¬ tive; Tom Manley, vice-president and program chairman; and Marcia Ayers, publicity chairman. The second semester they chose Jackie Bourrie, pres¬ ident and Student Council representative; Terry Ventura, secretary-treasurer; and Lillian Casten, re¬ freshment chairman. The Art Club is a service organization which mirrors student activities by designing and making posters and decorations for dances, sports events, and any other programs or events the school or its clubs might sponsor. Two members also helped with school publications; Tom Manley helped with car¬ toons for the “Blazer” and Bob Winterstein did car¬ tooning for the “Blazer” and the Shield.

The prime function of the club is -to earn money through various ac¬ tivities to purchase letter jackets for men who have earned th6m in athletics. It has promoted many activities such as coat checks at dances, a football banquet, and a com¬ bined Lettermen’s and Boosters’ Club picnic. The first semester officers were Ken Kowalczyk, presi¬ dent; Rich Lasser, vice-joresident; and Huck Donog- hue, secretary-treasurer.

Sherlock finally thought he was on the right trail when he found a key. However, much to his dismay, the key unlocked only a closet in which had hidden JT s and JC’s vocational building for the last few decades. Above is a cartoon which illustrates Mr. Holmes findings. Besides this, he found the agriculture and automobile shops to be dark, dreary, and drab, with motors competing against classroom studies. As he continued his search, he noticed a swimming pool and immediately, began thinking of a cool, relaxing swim. Poor Sherlock, when he found out that it was being used for a wood shop! Mr. Holmes couldn’t take any more of this, so he immediately filed a complaint. An investigation was held with the following result being disclosed: a new vocational building was decided upon, to be constructed next to the heating plant bn Herkimer Street. This met with public approval in a bond election held December 8, 1956. Below is a sketch of our new technical vocational building. Sherlock stamped his approval, “Case Closed.” 11 n m i i ii 11 j 11 m MIT m h mm. i ? ; Activities HOMECOMING QUEEN The team was in the huddle; The captain raised his head; They all stepped in line, And ' this is what was said, “The homecoming queen is MISS KAY BUSSEY.” These words will probably live forever in the mind of Kay Bussey, for this is the way Kay was announced queen of the homecoming festivities. In his search, Scotland Yard’s outstanding detective had no difficulty in questioning Kay, for she is known as the gal who is helpful to all. After third degree probing Mr. Holmes came up with the following information and conclusion about her activities. Kay has an ardent public, as is shown by the fact that she is one of the few women at JC ever to be elected president of the Student Council. She has also held the office of secretary-treasurer for her class for both years at JC. In addition, she is president of the Women’s Athletic Association. Kay takes part in all phases of student life at JC and is a member of the Art Club, Future Teachers of .America, Booster Club, Press Club, and W. A. A. You can readily see why Sherlock had an irrestible desire to meet and chat with Kay, even though it meant that he was waylaid in his search. You can also see why Kay received one of JC’s highest honors, that of being named the ’56 homecoming queen. JJC’S HOMECOMING Queen, Kay Bussey, is seen as she travels in a Cadillac convertible accompanied by her court: Judy Speckman, Sue Fleming, Gerri Scaccia and Gerri Wenger. The chauffeur is Dick Wilhelmi, freshman class prexy. Without a doubt homecoming week-end was one of the most difficult obstacles that Sherlock Holmes had to overcome in his search at JC. His search began seriously going off the track when the campaigning for homecoming queen reached its height October 17, in an assembly where the queen candidates were introduced. All the rest of the day Sherlock was involved in voting and in the general election excitement. All day Thursday he couldn’t concentrate on his search because his curiosity about the election out¬ come prevented it. Would Kay Bussey, sponsored by the WAA be queen; or would Sue Fleming, sponsored by the Vet’s Club? Perhaps the Associated Business Students’ candidate, Gerri Scaccia, or the Lettermen’s choice, Judy Speckman, would win. Or would Gerri Wenger, supported by the JC Choir, claim the crown? The announcement was made at the bonfire held Thursday evening, and, of course, Sherlock was on hand promptly at 7:30 to hear the outcome. “Kay Bussey is queen of the JC 1956 homecom¬ ing”!!! The cheerleaders led cheers and the LOYAL- hi A A WUutincf. tf-loat “LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY” was the WAA’S winning float slogan. Kay Powell, Dee Davis and Pat Bussey (queen’s sister) are the float’s decorations. TY, accompanied by members of the JC Swing Band under the direction of Dr. Hal Dellinger. All of this excitement put Mr. Holmes in such an enthusiastic state that all day Friday, as there was no school, he neglected his search-in favor of dec¬ orating floats! At 6:00 P.M. sharp he was present to see the parade which progressed through town to the stadium. The winning float was sponsored by the WAA, who also had the winning queen candidate. Like Taking Candy from a Baby” was the theme of their float. The homecoming game was the climax, and by this time Sherlock couldn’t even remember he was on a search. The exciting game played against LaSalle ended with a final score of 13-12 in favor of LaSalle. The two JC touchdowns were made by Huck Donoghue and Bill Wagner. The pompon girls, who made their first appearance at the homecoming game, and the cheerleaders, urged and -led the enthusiasm of the crowd. During half-time the winning floats circled the track, led by the queen and her court in a convertible. To end the evening in a more subdued tone Mr. fjfJG r 55th Awtiv iAG uf Kay and Joe Holmes attended the dance held in the girls gym at the school following the game. Here captain of the homecoming game, Joe Mussario, officially pro¬ claimed Kay as the 1956 homecoming queen, by placing a rhinestone crown on her head. As a re¬ ward he received the first royal kiss. Her Highness then cut the fifty-fifth anniversary cake and with the assistance of her court, fed each football player a piece. She and Joe then led the dancing to the music of Buddy Everett’s Orchestra, which con¬ tinued until the hour of 12:00 midnight officially ended the JC 1956 homecoming events. Of course, after a wonderful week end, Mr. Holmes was ready to return to his search the follow¬ ing Monday morning with the cooperation and as¬ sistance of the JC student body! fJG Picnic September 6 was a busy day for Sherlock Holmes. With the co-operation of the student body he was able to track down Kay Bussey, Mel Jager, and Ted Zuck, who were responsible for the day’s big event, the JC picnic. Sherlock kept order in the food line and saw to it that everyone received his share. Mr. Henry Simp¬ son had to undergo a thorough investigation because he threatened to flunk Ted Zuck, who took a little time in getting the coffee ready. When all the hungry people had been served and Sherlock was just about to sample some of Ted’s famous brew, the picnic was stormed by a group of “half starved monsters.” But fortunately Sherlock could solve this mystery as soon as the first shock had passed. He discovered that they were members of the football team! Later he joined in some games and contests which were very entertaining. After a hint from Sherlock, three of last year’s cheerleaders gave a few rousing cheers. Before going home everyone pitched in to help clean up under the strict supervision of Mr. Holmes. Sherlock, by the way, was so tired out after this day that he did not even start on his way back to Scotland Yard. It looks as if Mr. Simpson, extreme right, while taking over the roll of Sherlock has caught Miss Georgene Smith, extreme left, in the act of helping herself before the word go. Beside Miss Smith are Mrs. and Dr. Leroy Mecay, Mr. Max Kuster, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kurtz faculty. ...AfM - - l ' V Sue Moore Joe Shetina When Sherlock dropped in on JC’s annual fall formal TIME STOOD STILL. After listening to the music of Ralph Marterie and his orchestra, Sherlock left to search out those who were responsible for this gay event. He booked Sue Fleming and Sparky Hauck on the suspicion of being the ring leaders. Tom Manley, Gerri Wenger, Marie Chalstrom, Larry Waddell, Carol Phelan, Larry Roder and Judy Speckman were held on a decorating charge. Their accomplices were Mary Brett Joe Bluth, Norm Nemanich, Marcella Branchaw and Marilyn Brennan. • • • an d lime Stood Still DAYLE WISDOM Spring Formal Queen 1956 Marcia Ayers John Metrick and Dick Wilhelmi, heads of publicity; G i n n y Maitland, Dom Raino, programs; and Paula Connor and Ed Carlson, who were found responsible for the tickets and invitations, issued. Sherlock then began a desperate search for Lola Schuck and Buddy Kamnikar. They were to be questioned about the refreshments that were served. Sherlock return¬ ed to the scene of the crime, the gym, where he made his final arrest. There he’ found Dee Davis and Russ Dahlen who were held on a clean-up charge. The Dick Kittrells WAA TEA When Sherlock found out about the Women’s Athletic Association Mother-Daughter Christmas Tea, he just couldn’t pass up a spot of tea. Needless to say, his search was interrupted once again. As he arrived, he was presented with a Tom Manley special program which is shown above, unless Sher¬ lock hasn’t kept it as a possible clue. Next, Sherlock investigated Miss Wanda Stasieluk, WAA sponsor; this made her so confused that she thought the girls were serving punch. After Mr. Holmes had mingled among the mothers for clues, he was ready for some entertainment. The jC Choir sang a selection from “The Messiah.” As Sherlock said, “Now for the tea and crumpets.” Afterwards he tracked down Mrs. Walter Bussey and Mrs. Louis Branchaw, who poured, and told them that he had a “cheerio” time and that he must be shoving off for Scotland Yard to turn in his report. w.

Sherlock was stopped on his way to Scotland Yard by an¬ other clue which finally led him to the Club Commons. Here he made a few investigations, just for “safety’s” sake. Mr. Holmes found out several facts concerning the average day in the life of a fountain pen from Mike O’Brien. However, in his search for the owner of the shoe he was beaten by Artis Moore and Jim Gordon. They found their shoes first! At another one of the mixers he was able to solve a big mys¬ tery. Elvis Presley turned out to be Jerry Meyers! Sherlock also stopped Mr. Bondar just in time from eating a live turkey which Judy Klatte had received for her Thanksgiving dinner. After finding everything in order he went on his way to Scot- Qammosui % Qaad jbeedd. af flc ' e ' id. fetiiwa Santa Claud . Letters to Santa Claus were the clues that lead Sherlock to the JC Christmas party. He found Santa (Brunch Lehman) giving out puppy dogs and other gifts that JCers had requested. Santa observed that the party was kept lively by the Swing Band, the JC Choir, and Quin- tones. Vocalists Gerri Scaccia, Bob Zelko, Don Wilson, and Jim Maloney showed Sherlock the Christmas spirit at JC. Madte i elective Jtad. 7(iwe cMii Jllje New Year’s Eve! Balloons seemed to be the dominant feature of this season’s New Year s Eve Dance for which Buddy Everett’s orchestra was featured. Of course our master detective was there and he had the time of his life around midnight—so the story goes. Before midnight he managed to track down Dick Wilhelmi, Tom Ariagno, and Rosemary Anderson and got the low down on this particu¬ lar event—that everyone had a ball with confetti, noise makers, sepentine and paper hats. Sherlock, after wishing everyone a Happy New Year, started back to Scotland Yard. However, his condition made it quite impossible for him to turn in his report that morning. 1 hn.ee One-Act Plaul George Eeonomides, Roberta Madav, Helen Fiddvment f)G PlayeM vn On February 9, 1957, Sherlock spent a delightful afternoon watching the three one-act plavs presented by the JC Players. The Stronger,” by August-Strindberg, with Orie Seron, Lola Schuek, and Bill Curtis, was directed bv Marie Chalstrom. Fran Braun, John Dennis, and Mike Stevens played in The Bore, ’ by Anton Chekov, under the direction of Dom Raino. Marty Rudman directed The Lady of Larkspur Lotion,” by Tennessee Williams. The cast for this plav included Roberta Maday, Helen Fiddvment, and George Eeonomides. B1LL cvrtis c H O I R Gerri Scaccia After enjoying the three one-act plays Sherlock pack¬ ed his suitcase to accompany the JC Choir and Swing Band on their annual tour. The tour was a big suc¬ cess according to Dr. Hal Dellinger, director of the choir and band. It took place on February 26, 27, and March 5, and included programs presented at Yorkville, Lockport, Lincoln-Way, Seneca, Carl Sandburg, Plainfield, Mazon, and Marseilles high schools. George Economides acted as master of ceremonies. There were several soloists. Bob Zelko, Gerri Scaccia, and Flo Daniels with the choir; and Norm Sing, Tom Goodwin, Fred Troope, and Wesley Shaw with the band. The students were received warmly at the var¬ ious schools. This was one of the very rare events at which Sherlock did not have very much investigat¬ ing to do. He only checked the buses and cars in which the group travelled to see if the 120 students and their equipment were all on board. A panel, consisting of Pat Torok, Mike O’Brien and Kay Pickles discussed the opportunities at JC and why they chose this school for their junior col¬ lege education.

Shi Friday night, February 22, Sherlock Holmes, to¬ gether with 45 collegians, left for Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin. After the group had arrived there early the next day, Sherlock counted all the students to see if everyone had survived the long train trip. The party stayed at King’s Gateway Hotel and Inn. This week-end was one of Mr. Holmes’ busiest during the school year. While the students were en- Jonna Frosch, Mr. Eugene Bondar, Beth Wisdom, Dayle Wisdom. joying skiing, skating, sleigh riding, snowshoeing, and tobogganing, Sherlock kept a watchful eye on them. Frequently he was called upon to “pick up” the broken arms, broken legs, and sprained ankles of unfortunate ski enthusiasts. Only at night was he able to relax a bit when he joined the collegians in singing in front of the fireplace. Sherlock made sure that the group arrived back in Joliet on Monday in time to attend classes.

Jim Sparlin Dick Kittrel Ed Carlson COACH HERMAN WALSER seems worried here as he strides forward to get a better view of the game. However, team members in the background look on without any apparent emotion and have complete confidence in their fellow team members. COACH ROY CARLSON looks worried also, and seems to be shouting some word of instruction to the team as he stands almost on the out-of-bounds line, unable to get closer. The extreme cold is shown by both coaches as they shiver, hands in pockets, near the edge of the field. fyaathall Wolves are known for their cunningness and daring, and these qualities were very evident in the foot¬ ball team throughout the season as they met other teams with outstanding qualities also. Cunningness the Wolves had, but this was not enough to win games for Coaches Herman Walser and Roy Carl¬ son. Time and again the Wolves’ line was pushed back and broken through, even before the Wolves beat Morton, Illinois, in the one and only Wolves victory of the 1956 football season. In at least two games the Wolves were definitely out-classed, and in other games, due to injuries, lack of breaks, and mistakes which every team makes, the team failed to bring out the potentialities which it certainly-possessed. The Wolves were also out¬ weighed by most teams and probably this weight deficiency made the chances for a good or even fair season very small. Coach Walser stated that the team never jelled, but that it did have the potential. Joe Mussario, halfback who had a final season average of 4.5 yards per run, was selected by the coaches as the out¬ standing backfield man, and Ken Kowalczyk and Eugene Matesi were picked as outstanding linemen for the season. Sophomores who will not be returning to the squad next year include Ed Carlson, Dick Kittrell, Ken Kowalczyk, Pete Laketa, Rich Lasser, Tom Marchio, Ron McDowell, Joe Shetina, Jim Slobodnik, Howard Woodman, and Ed Sova. JOE MUSSARIO runs for a touchdown in Joliet’s game against Morton. The Wolves won 6-0.

Pushed by A. A. Wills, it became the top scoring junior college basketball team in the nation, with a 96-7 point-a-game average for the season. Somewhat underrated at first, JC was not satisfied with this average and went on to defeat Vincennes, Indiana in a thrilling game, with a score of 92-88 for the regional twelve first place trophy. In this tournament JC suffered a bad break when Bill Tuffli, JC’s leading scorer, was ruled ineligible for tournament play for one year be¬ cause he had transferred from Chipola, Florida. JC had the misfortune of meeting Moberly, Missouri, top rated team of the country at the time, as its fi rst opponent in the national tournament. JC lost the opening game to Moberly, but came back to defeat Des Moines, Iowa, with a score of 95-74. Hutchinson, Kansas, then knocked the Wolves out of the tournament with a score of 78-64. During the season the Wolves reached 100 points eleven times and lost three of these 100 or 100-plus games, one to LaSalle-Peru and two to Great Lakes. Even with the lack of height and the loss of its top scorer for tournament play, the Wolves came out of the season with twenty-two victories and ten losses, a truly outstanding achievement. Coach A.

Spiro Bruskas, Manager BILL TUFFLI It’s not often that an individual gets the honor of being fifth or even tenth, highest scoring individual in the coun¬ try for any sport, but Bill Tuffli, JC ace forward, with an average of 26 points a game, became the fifth highest scoring individual in the United States in junior college competition for the 1956-57 basketball season. Tuffli, a sophomore in JC, came to the Wolves from Chipola, Florida, while in his sophomore year, and it was with the Wolves that he attained his high average. The six foot two ace’s season ended before that of his team-mates, however. Bill was ruled ineligible for tournament play for one year by the National Junior Col¬ lege Athletic Association, because of his transfer from Florida. Although the JC wrestling team had a short season this year, three wrestlers, Jim Holder, Bill Lewis, and Don Barnes, became lettermen during the 1956- 57 season. Other members of the team were John Smith, Ken Griswold, Don Wilson, Dave Woodward, Armand Bianchi, Jim Hirschfeld, Jim Lunningham, Rich Norris, Dick Hrpcha, and Don Ivanich. During their short season, the Wolf wrestlers compiled a record of one victory and four losses. The JC team dealt this one defeat to Illinois Tech¬ nology, who also won a match against the Wolves. JC lost two matches to Wheaton and one to Wright. Returning to JC next year should be Dave Woodman, John Smith, Don Wilson, Armand Bian¬ chi, and lettermen, Bill Lewis and Jim Holder.

The JJC golf team, under the coaching of Mr. Shirley Winterroth, made an excellent beginning in its 1956 golf record by winning its first game at LaGrange by a score of 12-6. LaGrange seems to have been the only defeatable team for Joliet, because in the remainder of Joliet’s matches JC lost against Wright, and twice to North Park and Thornton. However, it again defeated LaGrange at Joliet. JC’s golfers, Ed Czerkies, Jack Dennis, Ken Molnar, Jack Snider, and Bill Tuffli ended the sea¬ son for JC by taking fourth place with a score of Roger Anderson Ed Czerkies 333 in the conference which was held at LaGrange on Oct. 16. Although JC golfers such as Tom Ariagno, Jack Amorose, A1 McCloud, and Roger Anderson did not participate in the conference, they played golf with the team throughout the year and were equally interested in winning the conference. Returning members of the team for the 1957 season will be Ken Molnar, Tom Ariagno, Jack Amorose. Besides having these members out for the 1957 team, Coach Winterroth will have, he expects, at least five golfers just graduated from JTHS and hopes to exceed this year’s record greatly.
