Daily we Watched changes in the boundary lines within Europe. Then came December 7, when Pearl Harbor was attacked by Iapan. Since then we have had a part in the map changing of the world. So, also, we have seen changes in the purposes and the paths which lie open before us in Kankakee High School. So, also, we have had a part in making these changes.

Co-operating in War activities-sugar rationing, Red Cross, salvage cam- paigns, draft registrations, and govern- ment sponsored defense courses-has added many duties to his regular schedule. Still, lVlr. Munson has found time to give down-to-earth and interesting talks to the students and to interpret educa- tional purposes to the community. The superintendent makes it a point to know the students as individuals, and all in the Kankakee schools enjoy his cheerful company. and directors Hundreds daily enter the bright, cheery office of Mr. R. Y. Allison, prin- cipal of Kankakee High School. Stu- dents come to him for aid in arranging schedules, for advice concerning ad- vanced education, and for references to help them obtain positions. A keen discernment of the needs and desires of high school students enables Mr. Allison to talk to and with students in an effective and understanding fash- ion. The principal attends with interest sports activities and other school affairs: he is attentive to the plans put forth by club committees and helpful in pro- moting their projects. ln these and other Ways students get to know Mr. Allison as a friend. -0 law' ff ' ' ABOVE: Mr. Allison helps George Pyles plan his course.

And guidance means guiding, not forcing. Believing that each person ought to be treat- ed as an individual, the school offers vocational tests, reference books and Weekly magazines for one purpose: to enable each student to find himself. The base of success is education, upon which specialization is built. For balance, a tri- angle must have a broad, sound foundation, and so it is with specialization. But education, even specialization, isn't enough. Training in hovv to associate success- fully with others is equal to the importance of learning a trade. Creative living, not taught in any textbook, is one of the prime factors in Kankakee's varied extra-curriculum.

Shuman. For Miss Shuman is a guiding force in the school life of the boys as well as of the girls. Being sponsor of Student Council, English teacher, chairman of the Iunior Bed Cross at K. H. S. and Dean of Girls are merely safety valves for her re- markable working capacity, plentiful sense of humor and competent execu- tive ability. Miss Shuman's sound advice. strengthened by the influence of her friendly personality, has helped many students over the tough spots in school of life. After taking aptitude tests, students need an experienced person to explain and discuss the results with them.

The American literature and public speaking classes of Miss Tull give a fine background for good citizenship. On the athletic field and in his classroom, Mr. Dykstra distributes a wealth of information. Lt. Smith left his classes in the spring to spend a month at Fort Riley, Kansas. By Miss lnkster's direction of thought, a new light has been thrown upon the subject of English. Movies and written outlines are used by Miss Webb to clarify lessons in biology. Miss Beardslee has for a basis of her love for culture, the subject she teaches, Latin. Miss Moffett's cool voice seems a part of Room 212 as she reads a translation for a student who is completely stumped. Mr. Azbell has brought new methods to science classes since his addition to the faculty last September. Under the skillful teaching of Miss Ieffers, students learn that roads of the future are built upon experiences of the past.

Miss Montgomery really enjoys having Girl Reserves around for cabinet meetings and informal discussions. A measured voice and an even temper con- tribute to Miss Co1e's effectiveness as a senior sponsor. Mr. McKinley knows that working with wood and machinery gives a boy a sense of fulfillment. Serving as a member of the county salvaging committee is one of Miss Coulter's war activities. Mrs. Boat, who has Won the interest and co-operation of all her students, has capably substituted for Miss Wehmhoff, on leave of absence this year. An active part in the buying and selling of defense stamps has been assumed by Miss Beauvais. Iovial, fun-loving, leader of the band -Mr. Piersol takes ups and downs in his stride. Mrs. Dykstra was an excellent substitute for Mr. Smith in his absence. Miss Baker's sweet smile makes her a friend to all, and her manners and dress are a shining example to girls. page fifteen and help us build our roadsg Boys were regretful when Mr. Harrison an- nounced he would retire after fifteen years of coaching here. Amicable Miss Scaggs took part in the sponsorship of the senior class and of the Byrd Science Club. Miss Northrup, new- est addition to the faculty, has become well ac- quainted with her students. Mr. Iones' position as assistant coach has made him an idol to many boys interested in sports. Reports from former students keep Mrs. Iannsen convinced of the importance of advanc- ed mathematics. Foreign lands interest Miss Martin, who, for a hobby, gives illustrated lec- tures to organizations. When Mrs. Dapron re- ceived a leave of absence this spring, Miss Brown supervised her classes. Miss Keefe is quick to recognize and encourage initiative in students. The geography of the world, during the time of war, is hard to teach, but Miss Lar- son manages to keep up with events. In the spotless surroundings of Room 111, girls, under the direction of Miss Stone, learn about calories and vitamins. Mr. Canham, well known for his numerous stories, was called away to active army service.

Mr. Lambert encourages boys to plan ahead for jobs and vocational training. Mr. Weller works hard among his tubes and chemicals to make chemists of his students. Neatness and preparedness are the must habits for all of Miss Carmody's classes. Under Miss Waggoner's instructions, prize winning themes are still being written. Mastery of nouns, verbs and clauses seems easy when Miss Freyermuth begins the explanation. As- semblies, state exhibits, prom committees- these give Miss lngli a school interest outside her classes. All of her pupils will agree that Miss Kranz makes rulers, women of history and dates easy to remember. Both gay and thoughtful music was featured this year by Miss Fager, new in- structor. Miss Freitag, traveler and author, has a big job in teaching prospective youngbusi- ness men and women. Instructor of Red Cross First Aid classes, Miss Nichols represents a true lover of sports. Miss Skidmore, who has charge of rows and rows of books, is interested in all school activities.

Marie, a senior, died on November 23, following an automo- bile accident. Better known as Peggy, she had been outstanding in her class for her fine character, charm, and ability. Marie was truly a typical American, one with courage. determination, and an unselfishness that expressed itself in helpfulness to those about her. In the course of her journey through life, she met many people: some be- came her staunch friends, and they will remember her long for the fine, sweet girl she was.

Under the sophomore leadership of Elmore Clawson, Rex Dusenbury, and Mildred John- son, a St. Patrick's day assembly was staged. A Voice In the Dark, was the junior play chosen and the prom had a Mexican theme. This year Orville Busse, Ioseph LaRocque, and Verna Davis were elected as officers.

For they are now far enough advanced on the road of learn- ing to have some prestige among the student body, but are gayer than the career-planning seniors. With George Morrow, Ronald Rieken, and Bob Wolf as class officers, the juniors establish- ed successful records. Their first project, when becoming upperclassmen, was to present a class play, Young April. Those who took part in the play and those who Were on com- mittees worked together to make a successful performance. Because of the War, the school took on add- ed activities: and, in the paper salvaging and stamp buying drives, the juniors Were continual leaders.

In sciences and mathematics, We are dilli- gently gaining and storing knowledge which we may soon be able to contribute to our coun- try. Algebra, geometry and trigonometry, as Well as the sciences, play a very important part in our armed forces and in the vast factories that back them up. Aiming big guns, calculat- ing distances, compounding explosives, and designing Weapons-all use mathematics or science. Classroom discussions are helping us to think more clearly and intelligently. This will be a great asset when the time comes for us to vote. Peace may not come until that time so we must be able to choose wisely our officials, because some of them will undoubtedly help to make tlfe peace. Thus, today's studies, no matter how world events may turn, will help to make us better citizens. page forty facts cmd to solfve problems TOP, Left: K. H. S. lights burn late as evening classes meet.

Right: Mr. McKinley and Mr. Weller discuss their defense courses. To enable boys to gain valuable training along practical lines, several new shop courses were introduced into the school curriculum and a new shop room was equipped in the Central School Building in which to teach these courses. One of these new courses, general shop, taught by Mr. Earl Iones, consists of three branches-sheet metal, woodwork, and elec- tricity. Each branch is taken for cr period of twelve weeks unless a boy has had previous woodwork. In this case, electricity and sheet metal are each taken one semester. Another new course Was machine and archi- tectural drawing, which was taught at Depart- mental School by Mr. Euclid Lambert. In Mr. Iones' manual training class, you may see boys Working on boats, desks, tables, footstools, and what have you. This class is composed of boys who are interested in ad- vanced woodwork. preparing us for war jobs, Mr. Fowler McKinley has about sixty boys in three manual training classes a day. One class is advanced Woodwork and the other two are beginning courses. These boys are instructed in the construction and assembly of wood pro- jects such as tables, desks, cabinets, shelves and chests. There were also special night classes spon- sored and paid for by the federal government in the endeavor to help train men for useful jobs in the war industries. These courses were held several nights each week and were open to high school graduates and to persons especial- ly interested in these lines. Mr. Lambert taught an evening class in machine and architectural drawing and Mr. McKinley instructed another group in blue-print reading. Mr. Weller had an advanced chemistry class: Miss Freitag and Miss Smith, cost accounting classes. page forty one On the third Thursday of every month, North Study is packed to the brim with active fresh- men, as the Byrd Science Club is called to- gether by President Peggy Cushing and her fellow officers, Vice-President Paul Disney, Treasurer Iirn Brown, and Secretary Pat Hill.

Among their other activities was a trip to Chicago. Four busloads of students Went to Field Museum, the Planetarium, the Aquarium, and the NBC Broadcasting Studio. Perhaps the most outstanding thing the club did was to contribute thirty dollars toward buy- ing black shades for the Windows of North Study. investigating the possibilities of science, If your proboscis informs you of queer odors in the vicinity of Room 308, come in and make yourself at home. This is the home of the Edisonian Science Club, organized for students who Wish to learn more about the role of science today. The club attempts to give a broader conception of science through book reviews, quiz pro- grams and field trips to museums, radio stations, a planetarium, meat packing plants, electrical shows and lighting exhibits. Entertainment includes a picnic, movies and much dabbling around in the laboratories.

The sharp click of the typewriters and the girls with their shorthand pads tucked under their arms assure us that the Commercial rooms are in the north end of the building. Not only are the regular typing, shorthand and bookkeeping classes taught, but also supple- mentary courses are offered. Commercial geography, the study of the United States' trade relations with other countries: Office Practice, which gives its members actual office work in downtown offices: and Business Eco- nomics, the practical application of consumer's problems, are the subjects offered. backgrounding world conditions, The first Wednesday of every month was the set meeting day, but just where the Commercial Club members would meet was the problem: they usually wound up in a study hall. Dorothy Meehling, president, called the meetings to order and they were usually very well attended, because Commercial Club has one of the largest memberships of all the clubs in the school. Rosemary Coe and Elaine Gustavson, vice-presi- dent and secretary-treasurer, respectively, assisted Dorothy with her duties as prexy. Miss Edith Car- mody and Miss Margaret Reynolds sponsored the club the first semester, and Miss Elsie Freitag and Miss Doris Smith sponsored it the second semester. The club did some very constructive work this year along the employment lines. Mr. Arthur Wund- erlich, head of the Kankakee branch of the Illinois Employment Service, and Mr. Edward Strasma, of the Kankakee Credit Bureau, spoke to the club about the methods of obtaining jobs, the qualities employ- ers expect and the procedures in getting a good credit rating. Iobs of all sorts, including those in Govern- ment Civil Service, were discussed at the meetings. Of course, the club had fun, too, during the year. This is a picture of a girl trying to figure out just what is going on in the world. It's Dorothy Christensen looking very perturbed over the map ot Africa. But she's not the only one, because it's been pretty hard in the past three years for the students in Commercial geography to keep up with this subject. page forty five Aj 1 I. ,wfflf . . 3 , we X Us on STANDING, Left to Right: Doris Neumann, Frances Baker, Eleanor Bowman, Barton Hinkle, Marion More, Thomas Hemstreet, James Johnston, Jeanne Lower, George Mor- row, Venita Volkmann, Earl Rauen, George Hodak, Robert Kiesling, Francis Vellutini.

Usual- ly there is a group of enthusiastic French stu- dents clustered about Miss Gernon's desk. They're discussing either their French lesson for the day or the coming French Club meeting. The enjoyment in taking French comes in joining the French Club. The meetings of this group take place in the cafeteria in a very in- formal gathering on the last Thursday of each month. The only requirements for member- ship are to have passed successfully one se- mester of French and to know the French An- them, La Marseillaise. Club activities are pleasant. There is al- ways one day in the second semester when one can distinguish new members. Usually clad in odd accessories, initiates even Wear clothes- pins in their tresses. One of the most important page forty-six events in the school year is the French Club's annual Christmas tea dance. French Club does its share in contributing interest to high school life as the early French settlers had their part in developing Kankakee and the surrounding communities. There are hundreds of students here who bear French names or are of French descent. For many of these, the study of French means more than meeting the language requirement of their cur- riculum. The officers of the organization are Mona Ray Mann, president: Margaret Coghlan, vice- presidentp and Don Huckins, secretary. Sponsoring all the lively meetings and par- ties and always acting as a Wise and under- standing adviser is Mademoiselle Rosetta Ger- non. ,six X. 5 - Ln and for traditional cultural values in Latin, Ban-gl The gavel of the president calls the Latin Club to order in the cafeteria the second Wednesday of every month. This club, spon- sored by Miss Marie Beardslee and Miss Avis Moffett, was formed in l929 and is one of the oldest clubs in school. It represents a subject that dates back further than most. This year the members of Societas Latina modernized some old-fashioned games at their meetings and held a box social instead of a picnic. The annual tea dance Was given in lanuary.

T On to the gridiron of Alumni Field rushed thirty Kay hopefuls last fall. This group proved to be one of the most loyal and hard-working of squads, though they came through the sea- son with only losing and tie scores. Two new coaches had been added to the staff-Earl Iones, assistant heavyweight coach, and Don Canham, assistant freshman and grade school coach. Coach Eugene Dykstra took over the head coaching position as Coach Charles Harrison cut down on his responsibil- ities in athletics, preparatory to retiring. The squad of heavyweights worked hard for their various positions, and a light but fast team was formed. The boys came out for prac- tice every night at 3:17. None missed more than two days of practice except those who were injured. In spite of their losing streak, these lads never gave up. They faced every game with renewed spirit and determination. Their season started against Momence, a team known for its passing attack: the score was tied, 6-6. The second encounter was with a strong Danville team, which came out ahead, 25-O. Calumet City crushed the Dykstramen, 34-0. Undaunted, the Kankakee boys tackled their next foe, Bloom, with such spirit that this game proved to be. their best, defensively and offens- ively, though they lost, 21-O. Another powerful team was Argo, which succeeded in subdueing the Kays, 32-6. Dusen- bury made the only Kankakee touchdown. The Harvey team, taking revenge on the Kays for their two previous beatings, swamped the Maroons, 25-O. ' The Kays next advanced against Blue Is- land, dropping this game, 20-7: Szozda scored the touchdown and extra point. Still showing improvement, Kankakee lost its last chance for victory when Ottawa hung up a 26-0 score in the final game. page fifty tive Dandelles Dusenbury 3 JF Cahan Brown Carpenter , Leavitt G Jackson Coach Dykstra's big problem was a lack of experienced players. Most outstanding of his six returning letterrnen was Captain Heine, later chosen first string center in the South Suburban and given honorable mention on Pat Harmon's all-state eleven. Carpenter, in his first varsity season, showed ability at left end. Wheeler played well at left tackle next to Wilson, a hard-blocking guard. Ia :kson and Schierholz alternated capably at right guard. Right tackle, Leavitt, and right end, Henderson, both experienced, took care of their end of the line commendably.

In a hard-fought game with a big Momence eleven, they struggled to a scoreless deadlock. Next the youngsters met defeat from Calumet City, 7-0, and from Bloom, 12-0. In other hotly-contested battles, the Kays handed Argo a 7-0 beating, but fell before Thornton. 12-U.

When President Bill Leavitt called the meeting to order, the Club really got down to business. Among the year's achievements were the Faculty-Businessmen's basketball game, a dance following a football game, the selling of season tickets, a pep parade, and a banquet for the athletes of Kankakee High. Some 150 persons, including 54 football and basketball players, were present at the banquet to eat the man-sized meal, listen to Bay Elliot, U. of I. foot- ball coach, and dance in the gym afterwards. page sixty-two Most of the loud, rip-roaring cheers at the football and basketball games came from the very center of the bleachers: that spot was usually the location of the Pep Club members, who turned out en masse for the games. They did not, however, limit their activities to giving vocal support to the team. They gave several pep assemblies, sold Kankakee boost- er pins, and cooperated with the Club and the cheerleaders in staging a pep parade before the Harvey football game. The club was led by President Robert Dro- let, Vice-President Alice Oxford, and Secre- tary-Treasurer Patricia Hill. Miss Dorothy McGinnis and Miss Marion Kranz sponsored the group. 1.--- -Y--W -7 ----- ------2----- -- - - 3. - and wholesome, in ormal, happy relaxation. 4 Hround our school one can never see loafing. True, people may be sitting in front of the school on the steps, conversing in small groups, playing in the gymnasium, swimming in the pool, or practicing archery on the school lawn, but this is not loafingl I I It is merely a form of relaxation Which, as defined in a dictionary, is recreation or diversion. So when we see some student friends or teachers diverting from their daily routines, we know they are refreshing themselves by a change of schedule. Some students might be sur- prised to find that our teachers are no different from us. ln fact We find much relaxation When We talk confidentially with them. H form of recreation that many students and teachers find inter- esting is that of bowling at local alleys. Others take pleasure in skating, while some enjoy them- selves by walking with other na- ture lovers. Since we feel better and strong- er after forgetting our troubles, We call all of these activities relaxa- tion, and we know it isn't loafing.

Entering Room 207 is like Walking into a very busy and sometimes noisy business office. In front of the usual classroom rows of chairs are working tables for typists, copywriters and lay- out artists. Headquarters for the Kanka-Keynote, the annual and the forty-odd staff members are vested in this room. The staff is kept on the go collecting and writing up the news and selling cmd collecting for advertisements. No sooner does one paper come out than the process starts over. Each individual has his own work and goes about it Without waiting for instructions. Co- operation and initiative are the essential re- quirements of a student. Press cards denoting responsibility, cub pins, K Press, and Quill and Scroll are rewards for special achievements. lournalism students started the waste paper campaign, pursued an energetic editorial poli- cy, and mailed free subscriptions to K.

These girls learned the first important val- ues in doing good for others. By packing gifts for mountaineers, by caroling at the Old Folks' Home, by giving a party for underprivileged kiddies, they increased their own enjoyment. Meetings were often devoted to the talents of the girls themselves-singing, reading, dis- Top: JoAnne Crowden and Ruth Riley try out the grand piano, repaired by the classes of I940 and I94I: Kilty N Trumpeteers.

Through the year 1941-1942 we have trod this trail many times. We have been entertained by the Kilty Trumpe- teers, an adventurer from Tibet, the Chi- cago Dramatic Society and a Persian teacher. These were some of our eight special assemblies which were paid for by the contributions of each student. We were presented with a debate by state highway officials to determine Whether pedestrians or motorists caused the most accidents. Pedestrians were blamed. Six students gave an open forum on war: the student body par- ticipated. We were also entertained by stu- dent artists. Remember the assemblies before basketball games? Then there were the farewell assemblies for those gallant instructors who left civilian life and took their posts to defend the road of freedom. cussions and business. Once a month a picnic supper was held at the Y. W. C. A., and on I-IalloWe'en a masquerade party was enjoyed. In April, ten girls attended a conference at Peoria. Here plans were made for improving meetings and increasing their war work. Officers of the club were Frances Baker, president: Eleanor Bowman, vice-president: Constance Goudreau, secretary: and Helen LeBoeuf, treasurer. page sixty nine providing practice in leadership, Into the library every Monday morning went the student governing body of our school. The Student Council was composed of thirty-nine students cmd their sponsor, Miss Shuman. As each representative took his position at one of the long tables, the room took on an air of dignity. The officers of the Council were Kenneth Anderson, president: Bob Carpenter, vice-presi- dent: and Frances Baker, secretary. One of the Council's achievements this year was its successful Iunior Bed Cross drive, Which netted forty dollars. The defense committee also aided the War effort by financing the pur- chase of a jeep through the sale of War stamps and Waste paper. The annual all-school party, sponsored by the organization, Was enjoyed' by the three hun- dred present in hill-billy costurnes. Senior Day was another successful p r o j e c t.
