Though time has withered, and Tinged them with age, Beautiful memories still Dwell in each page. -IEAN MCALPINE Tumbling over my shoulder and onto the floor in patchwork patterns Lies Light. I am in its inner circle. Outside, ever vengeful, is darkness, Angry and jealous because I have its master As my slave. fMARY IEAN BUDZIK. AWAITING ME The millions of things I wish to know, The store of knowledge awaiting me, Are mine if l but wish to go, Where lie these hidden treasures, free. Free to those who do but long For the key to wisdom, noble prize, Whose every action can only make strong The desire to know where the source of it lies. A TRIBUTE He had never seen the sun come up So far away from home. He had never heard birds' songs so sweet, Since he left so long ago. He had never felt a peace So serene and so complete, As he did that day in a hospital bed, 'Mid gun-fire, hell and heat, For today was the day that our G. I. loe Was to take his final seat ln the promised land of glory, Where all our heroes meet. -MARIORIE YOUNG. TO IOE But I beg you to understand that loe Was not remorseful, nor sad with woe- For he had lived a hero's lifey Now it was over, all struggle and strife. I-Ie had found great courage and bliss supreme, Pound assurance far past his fondest dream. And now he was ready, yes, ready to go, On his last long mission without gunner, pilot or co- For this was a mission he only could trod, A mission between our Ioe and God. -ARDELE RAPP B ILIJI l'i THE PE. IIE How can we build peace, peace that will be a dynamic and continuous process for the achievement of justice, progr s, security, and freedom on a world-wide scale? Many of the problems that cause war will keep recurring in one form or another and can never be fin gf solved. The processes of peace, however, can be built to meet these proble W with govqgnmen ' stead of mass physical combat. f ii' ' Peace depends upon attitudes,xThepe can bel,rfo perm t peace if the attitude of the white man is one of superiority to rds vel , brown, and black men. These people will not e d e forever th ick o arrogant white man who keeps boasting this ' rqwhite ma rld.' ineteenth century im- perialism must be eliminatei. P ople ini ia a fri will no nger submit to a system in Whicht eiplives arefirift olled e g ern of a stronger faraway country. i es are d ined ' he schools in the working life after school. efgre it is essa at the nat' each a substantial agreement o sic ideastfilat ar e taught. must recognize that as all m n ar created equatl' all les h ve e rights Peace upo con nt t ques ' onsent is continuous be cause ne robl arise al ai solutions must be found the adjustment f iomestic d 1 ationa differences in which decision is reached by the intelle ged discover the most practical justice for all involved. Consent me ajorit it does not mean unanimity, as was inter- preted bythe old Leag of Nations, which only protected selfish interests and stopped the League from acting in the interest of the whole. Probably the most important single factor in maintaining a working peace is the surrendering by nations of some of their economic prerogatives. The causes of all our modern wars have been economic: jealousy of another nation's economic power or resources. The natural resources of the world must be shared and every country should have access to foreign markets. Give us no more Versailles treaties that silence guns but allow 'the struggle for raw materials and markets to go on. To maintain peace the nations must unite to establish a world government and surrender some of their powers to it. This world organization should con- sist of a world court, a world legislature, and an international police force. The decisions of the judges and laws of the legislatures would be based on principles of justice and new international law. There must not be one code for the strong and another for the weak. Nations must be brought before the bar of justice and made to answer for wrongs committed against others. A world police force would eliminate huge national armies and navies. The world organization will need jurisdiction to deal with social problems such as health, education and labor which are the foundation for peace. As Wendell Willkie stated, This is one wor1d. London, England is closer to New York today-because of the airplane-than it was to Newcastle, Eng- land, one-hundred years ago. Men of science share their findings with scien- tists round the world. Artists know that truth and beauty are universal. It becomes increasingly evident that we must create world governments, estab- lish law and order, and abolish international anarchy from the face of the earth. We must revise our fundamental ideas of sovereignty which heretofore have admitted no authority beyond the nation. We must develop world-minds, world-hearts, and world-wills. Only cooperation can bring about a united world. Unity through consent, not conquest nor interests of empire, is the way to obtain ordered living, security, and progress. The peoples of all nations, races, and creeds must submit their misunderstandings to government to insure justice and freedom for all. For many, many generations the peoples of the world must labor and learn and will to build the peace which shall be founded on scientific understandings of man and his natural resources-a dynamic peace of reason. -LEONARD GROTZ T s fe , o 1 f ' , - 11 d ' .

Spring has come again to Chicago, with bright sunlight to drive away the bleak clouds that have engulfed the city for months. And this gay foretaste of the weather to come has drawn me down to the lake shore. Being here recalls the good times the three of us shared just a few short months ago, before my brother died so far from home on that little Pacific island. Perhaps it is strange that I write of his death so calmly, but somehow here on this lonely strand he seems to live again as l hear his laughter of days gone by echoed and re-echoed on the incoming tide. l know that as long as the cause for which he gave his life continues to triumph, he will never truly die. And what a challenge the world offers to the youth that must keep that cause alive! You and millions of others like you are meeting a big part of that chal- lenge today on the world's battlefields. But a mightier foe is yet to be en- countered, a foe that lives as hatred in the hearts of the conquered. There will need to be a mental disarmament, as well as a military truce before there can be a real peace. The Four Horsemen have ridden over the world in the path of the conqueror, bringing bloodshed and famine and death. There has been such slaughter of men as the civilized world has never known before. Old people and little chil- dren go hungry and homeless, since the hands that would have toiled willingly for them have lost their strength. These are the beaten people with whom we must deal. But worse than the smoking ruins and broken bodies of defeated nations and people is the burning resentment that rankles within the hearts of proud men and women. They were misled by their own leaders, in whom they trusted: they were given promises which they now know were empty when they were made. They gave all they had to serve the country which they be- lieved was right and now find it was in vain. They have only their suffering to live with. The real tragedy of war is the tragedy of the human spirit. A battle- field can be turned to producing fruitful crops in a year or two. Ruined cities can be rebuilt. But how can we restore trust and love and faith and hope? To answer this question is the challenge to the youth of all victorious nations. And it must be answered now! Even now the pounding surf seems to be shouting a message to anyone who will listen. lt is a message of a new, clean, strong life that lies ahead of the world because men are fighting and dying and living to make it that way.

Later, a band of Scots gathered, settled, and named the wooded section Kelvyn Grove, after a grove in Glasgow, through which the small Kelvin River flows. As time went on the bustling community needed educational facilities. The Nixon school, in 1917, was granted a branch which was destined to be our school site. The construction of the building began in that year and was completed on St. Patrick's Day in 1918. Students and teachers entered, but it was still a branch of the Nixon and not until September, 1918, did it open officially as the Kelvyn Park Elementary School. lt served as a community center for adults as well as a school for children. From 1921 to 1925, Schurz had a group of 9B and 9A students studying at Kelvyn. ln 1925 Kelvyn was transformed into a junior high school. Grammar school pupils still con- tinued to be housed in the building but soon left as other schools were made ready. ln 1930 additions were made to the school, equpping it for regular junior high school work. ln September of 1933 the building was converted into a senior high school. When first organized, Kelvyn Park Senior High School shared the building with the elementary school of approximately 500 pupils. ln order to provide adequate facilities for the high school students these elementary pupils were gradually removed. This was completed in the spring of 1936. And so, where began a branch of an elementary school, opening the way to a grammar school, continuing as a junior high, now, since 1933, stands the Kelvyn Park Senior High School. Miss Pesta, as principal, guided it through the depression years: Mr. Klinge, as assistant, was succeeded by Mr. Lederer in lanuary, 1941. Time passed with the usual baseball, basketball, and football games, swim, track, and tennis teams, weekly and annual publications, new teachers and students, new rules made and old ones discarded, new subjects added and old ones dropped, organization of new clubs-disbandment of old, the senior farewells and freshmen welcomes, until we, the class of lune '45, entered in September 1941. As freshmen we remember electing Charlene Umbright as Miss Kelvyn, we remember riding in double decker busses to WGN as Kelvyn appeared on the Citizens of Tomorrow program, we remember a top- notch swimming team in city finals. The war brought a sudden interest in math, canned goods were collected for needy families, and the Red Cross had a button drive. And, we remember Pearl Harbor . . . We organized a new Red Cross chapter, Kelvyn's enrollment dropped, and Friday night dances were discontinued. Very shortly, air raid drills were practiced, scrap drives were carried on, and alumni news was G.1. Soon paper and rags were carried to school, gifts were sent to war-torn lands, and preflight classes were inaugurated. War stamps were sold in divisions, a Minute-Man flag was earned, and Annette Alexander was elected our Victory Queen. We recall cheering a city championship basketball team in March, 1943. Soon A12 and V12 tests were given, servicemen issues of the Life were published, and Kelvyn's war hero, Cal Lichtenwalter, returned. lobs soon occupied after-school time, teachers left to help Uncle Sam, and with our bond purchases we launched war equipment tagged Kelvyn Park. Paper drives began, the Life staff appeared on the air, and Kelvynites participated in Chicago's Youth Council. Miss Pesta left us for a year on her sabbatical. The Soap For Poland campaign was carried on, we won several paper drives, and were rewarded with a party and the election of Paper Queen, Virginia Frank. Though we entered Kelvyn in peacetime, we now look back upon the hanging of a service flag, patriotic spring festivals, and red-white-and-blue home talent shows. With the knowledge and experience gained here, we go forth to help make victory and peace a living reality! -LILLIAN E. WEVIK v.,.....1............ .sn .1 ,.. 'lm IIHUH 5 and UHIIHESTHA Oh, those sounds! Could that be music? To members of our orchestra, it is -- produced from hard work. The eighth period, students carry niusic cases to 3l3 to learn funda- mentals of music, Membership is voluntary what talent we havel The first step is tuning up to Then our able director, Miss Fischer, gives a tap-tap for silence. Out come inusic sheets, and things get into full swing. We all remember familiar strains of American Patrol and Stars and Stripes Forever: for the Spring Festival, Beethovens Fifth Symphony. Russian Sailors' Dance and Malequena: finally, the song that graduates depend upon for that notable night, Pomp and Circumstance. Carry on, orchestra, alwaysl Sounds of do- re mi float from 3l4, and another eighth period is spent in blissful singing by the song- stresses of the Girls' Choral Club. A group of smiling faces greeted the return of Mrs. Love, but the girls could scarcely express their inner feel- ings on seeing their beloved directress back again. Practice makes perfect --with this motto, the girls entered city-wide choral competition, singing Whil o' the Whisp and By the Bend of the River, for which they received an excellent rating. Club officers are: Delores Pose, presidentg Dorothy Nelson, vice-president, Dorothy Davidson, secretaryg Alice Greenberg, treasurer: Sonja Carlson and Colleen Tondrow, librarians, lrene Eckert, historian.

We took them as everybody did. And this is howl A special drive for War Victory Queen, Won by Annette Alexander, brought a total of Sl,5UU in stamps alone. The pennies tossed into the bucket and nickles you paid to see the Red Cross Show added to a neat S5l,602.80. Besides this, the paper drives: the 20 pounds of paper brought for the faculty game, for a Paper Queen won by Virginia Frank, and other drives, totaled to a heavy H5369 pounds. The V-Mail letters we wrote probably made some G.l.'s pulse throb, too. Then over l,4UU Kelvynites groaned with aching muscles in spring, 27 BEAT VW which were results of weeding their Victory Cfar- dens. Next year they can run a l5U-acre farm with ease fprobably.

Does that prove something or doesn't it! Every War stamp We have bought since frosh days totaled to the round figure of Sl24,9U5.65, placing on the battle front one Army pursuit plane, SNI scout trainer, LSC landing craft, nine jeeps, three flying ieeps, seven amphibious ducks and two field ambulances. This is what WE have done in our four yearsrware you satisfied? -SYLVIA MALINA j P t t UHEL BS ART CLUB The Art Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Ethel Guda, has devoted its time toward com- pleting many Red Cross projects. The members were happy to contribute their talent to the war effort. Five hundred tally booklets, numerous menu covers, and table favors were designed for use in the various servicemen's centers and hospitals. The officers were: Lenore Vtfarwick, President, Guyla Templeman, Vice-President, Gwen Hills, Secretary, and Lillian jones, Treasurer. MOVIES Our school now possesses two sound ma- chines, one silent machine, two slide machines, and one film-strip machine. Each week Miss Bernice Austrheim posts a schedule in the office and one in the movie rooms, to inform teachers in advance when a picture is scheduled for them. Mr. Samuel Barth has trained thirty-six boy oper- ators, all volunteers, who work in squads of four under a chief operator. They project a great variety of films each period in the classrooms. STUDENT LIBRARY ASSISTANTS Our student library helpers greatly aid the functioning of our library, Their organization is honorary, for students are accepted only on recommendations from two teachers. The service the students give to the school is: taking attend- ance, shelving books, answering reference gues- tions, issuing magazines, charging and discharge ing books, watching the library lockers. The effi- cient system, by which books are always on the shelves waiting to be used for reference or home reading, is largely due to the student library assistants. THE KELVYN ROLLERS lf you remember the last Talent Show, surely you will also remember the small roller skating act which we gave. There were eight students who participated: William Fiedler, Grace Ruthen- beck, Lester Stoltenberg, Lillian Wevik, George Esau, Lorraine O'Brien, Vtfilliam LaVey, and lrene Cory. W'e've been skating together for quite some time, enjoying it more every time. CHESS CLUB For centuries the game of chess has been played throughout the entire civilized world. lts origin is lost in obscurity. No wonder, then, that it has been called The Game of the Ages. Even though chess is old, this chess club is new, The members will participate in a tournament to determine the champion of Kelvyn Park. Every chess game is different and fascinating with an 28 endless number of plays. 1 t 1 in l it biri Z, Q. . .jfiqfm efgiffiw .rip QK. , A .. ,,., L ' A, QEN1'A 4: 6 ' .

Now there was less than a year remaining. I remember my first day at Kelvyn . . . just another lowly Freshie, but oh, so proud and joyful to be in high school-at last! As I wandered through the vast halls, I gawked at the tall, important-looking senior whose sweater grandly exhibited a football K -- then my eye fell disdainfully upon the bevy of laughing, lovable blondes track- ing him down to sell a bid to their sorority's holiday hop. I forgot about foot- ball heroes of Kelvyn-for a few years--and concentrated my efforts on the more immediate things in life. I enjoyed being a Kelvynite with the jaunty, jovial, jazz-happy jitterbugs, with an ear lent to the jangled jargon of the latest gossip spread by our enthusi- astic lills and lacksons. They could be seen at K. P.'s games, cheering their very lungs out with Give 'em a dose of that snaky curve, Luke! or C'mon, Zeke, plow 'em under! or Sink it, Bingo, sink itl Led by our zealous cheerleaders, Sid, Annette, Rose, and Evie, our teams fought all the harder when they heard the rousing cheers float across the field and floor. They always did their best and showed great sportsmanship whether conquered or the conquerors. Kelvyn has school spirit plus, and the words clean-cut describe its teams and their supporters. I also took stock of what I had learned l?l from my course of study. Algebra and geometry were pretty much of a haze, as was general science, especially the mechanical matters. English was a potpourri of grammar, Shakespeare's Caesar, Macbeth, and Hamlet, weekly compositions and exhaustive spelling tests. I enoyed gym classes, that is, until some devilish human inspired push-ups, sit-ups, and other body destroyers. Frequently, however, we had a chance to organize teams and then everyone was in his glory. In my ten months of biology torture, I always managed to get it right before or after lunch-that year I didn't eat much! History talks and outlines continue to haunt me and l'm still wondering what that queer-looking outline was in stenol Typing was something different-a s d fy l k j-but then came speed test after speed test, out of which a few lucky ones eked two or three certificates. When I first began chemistry, I had thrilling thoughts of making a lasting blond bleach, nylon stockings out of next to nothing, and gas for every gal's O.A.O.'s Black Beauty, Iivin' jeep, or whatever fond name is given to his gas buggy. These dreamy thoughts never materialized, however, and soon the main problem was that final exam looming on the horizon, which is known as the last chance train to F townmnext train leaves for D town on red track, number O. Study halls are places for anything but hard concentrated studying. They are pun periods, prate periods, and pipe-dream periods, all in one. Vlfhen in a sentimental mood, a presumably studious student, presumably enthralled by Wirth's history volume is actually staring right through the book into his own world of dreams and he sees-in the past, that first real important date: at present, in his case, that gorgeous I-Iedy Lamarrish creature right in front of him with that come-hither scent which is so suggestive: in her case, that Van lohnsonish-looking lad who irresistibly smiles upon the world in general, her in particulary and in the futurwah! prom night, cruising along on a make- believe cloud in a cream-colored convertible, with a breath-taking facsimile of Lana Turner cuddled up to an exact copy of exotic and exciting Turhan Bey. Dreams are wonderful, aren't they? And these things do not only happen in the movies!?! Getting back to reality, I know everyone will survive his four years of K. P. H. S. life and I know we will miss, most of all, our own crowd, the teach- ers, and the dear old school itself. Enough reminiscing for now-they finally got around to me, here at the studio, and if I recover from my brown study, I will break a few cameras. -SHIRLEY KRUEGER THF HFLVYN LIFE STAFF EDITORIAL STAFF Robert Davis lrrna van Vlaardingen lack Keller Donald Stewart Elaine Goldstein Lea Braun Virginia Frank Lillian Wevik REPORTERS Shirley Anderson Margaret Ozog Phyllis Manglesdort Gladys May Don Kliphardt Rita Egan laclcie l-loifrnan BUSINESS STAFF William Albach , ,., , Paul Fromrn Lorraine l-lalsne Vlolq Borbons george MIHQI Genevieve Placek PRlNTlNG STAFF Laurance Moe Andrew Schutt Vernon Nelson Earl Sarner TYPING STAFF ADVISERS PHOTOGRAPHER Betty Ann Aurand Miss lane K. Nemec Albert Brant lune Colbert Mr. W. O. Wallace i lf. HBE TEHAHAETEHS Fresh from the ranks and still a little dazed from the conversion of envied 8A's to bewildered freshies we give you these students who have been selected as most outstanding in their class. Betty lane Newton, better known as Newt is one of the doubles you have no doubt seen. A Sammy Kaye fan and lover of dancing, she's an active member in the G.A.A. Also among our busy freshmen is Tessie Papadourakis, who is chairman of her English class, student council representative, and vice- president of the freshman G.A.A. She is now looking for a personal secretary to keep records for her. Ioe Amich is looking for a room with a private bath since his parents don't approve of his breeding fish in the bathtub. Ioe intends to try out for the swimming team next semester. lt must be the influence of the fish! If you see someone tackle every post he sees and throw his books around, don't get scared! lt's only Iohn Nelson practicing for the football tryouts. When Richard Bender was asked what he planned to do after he got out of high school, he said, l'm looking forward to a few more happy years in one of those institutions of higher learning. We asked Lois Hansen where she got all of her energy for her many activities and she just sighed and said, It's not vitamins, I just grew! Lois is a hallguard marshal, art student, a member of the G.A.A. and active in many outside sports. Another of our hallguard marshals is Bob Pischke. who can be seen patroling his hall guards every day. Bob hopes to make the basketball team next semester. l-lere's hopin' he does. Angeline Ladas, a newcomer to the G.A.A.., seemed to be in a trance when I spoke to her. lt seems Angie's been listening to her favorite, Perry Como, sing Confessin'. Dolores Hodowonic, who is an office assistant, can usually be seen dashing around the halls on errands. She's another prominent member of the G.A.A. and a talented member of the Girls' Chorus. Laura Kroger said she was very disappointed in our school. It seems that someone told her we had elevators and she still hasn't been able to find them. Virginia Harrington. another new member of the G.A.A., wants to know where all the men are at Kelvyn. She said she's seen about one hundred. Cl can't see how she ever found that many.l Last on our list is a girl I can't forget, for every time l look in the mirror I see her staring at me!! She's president of the freshmen G.A.A., student council representative, and a war stamp salesman. These jobs are only given to her to keep her out of trouble. Did you guess who she is? That's right! APAT D'ANGELO. Want to know about who's tops with the sophomore crowd? Well, tag along with us While we gather some data on these typical Kelvynite personalities. Dashing past us into room 313 is Grace Einersen. Besides playing the flute in K..P.'s orchestra, this cute brunette is kept busy with Latin, tennis, and skating. Wait, we have a Frankie in our midst, dark haired Dave Walsh. Besides crooning, Iennifer lones and football catch his eye. What a combina- tion! Dropping into an Art Major class we find one of our future dress designers, Ioyce Westerlund, better known as lo. Most of her division periods are spent trying to keep the Minute-Man Flag flying. Popular David Hacker, who has the voice of a radio announcer, is a sports enthusiast. Basketball and baseball are his favorites. l-le is 206C's chairman, and watch out freshie hallguards 'cause you are his pet peeve. Poking our heads through the gym door who should we find making a wonderful volley ball play but Flo Iablonski. She loves all sports. Florence is secretary for her division, lU3C, and circulation manager for the Kelvyn Life. Shirley Gustafson. Gussie to her friends, proudly boasts she has never been absent or tardy since she began her sentence--er, studies at KP. Gussie can be found zero periods sleepily attending the Pan- JM, , -io B' -ffu:ov.,aH.42?1 54140 American and Dramatic Club meetings. This busy little bee is also assistant to two teachers! ln case you see a short, brown-haired boy floating through the halls with the buttons popping off his coat, it's probably Lawrance Moe who is as proud as one kid can be of his brother who has seen action With the Army Air Corps. Mr. Moe is a devotee of Spanish, sports, Bill Stern and lt Pays to Be lgnorant. Lorraine Freitag, hallguard extra-ordinary, can't under- stand why girls gush over Frankie Boy. Lorrie should be elected as the girl who would like most to be shipwrecked on a desert island with a case of maple creams and hot dogs. Girls! Take warning! ln case you wear too much make-up, stay away from Norman Sabye. This brunette boy is often found hovering around the sheet music counter in any local department store. Oh, yes, he is a soda jerk-er and plays the guitar. Crangway kids! Here comes that 5' 3 bundle of energy, Patricia Harrington, the pride of 2U6D. Harry james and Bing Crosby rate high on this petite blonde's list of favorites. Well, you've met them. After wearing out shoe stamps trailing these smooth sophomores your weary reporters leave you to your thoughts. These sharp students rate high on our list too! e-IOAN DAHL AND BETTY SIEGWART. These sharp characters are Kelvyn Park's typical juniors. They were chosen as being most representative of the average junior. Bight out in front is letter man Iames Kallas, fielder in baseball, captain of track team, excelling in the shorter distances, and right end on the football team. This super-athlete has the honor of having served three months in Uncle Sam's Navy at the age of fourteen years. Every Kelvynite has enjoyed the graceful dancing of Phyllis Bockmann, that cute blonde number, who likes people who smile and butterscotch sundaes and dislikes Monday mornings and writing compositions. Mary sweet as any name could be Landem. a sports enthusiast, says skiing rates first with her. Sweet, shy Mary is all set when she hears the voice of Bing Crosby, but says Frankie's O.K. too. Always on the honor roll, and often on the super-honor roll, George Cno nickname for publicationl Ianofsky, Radio Club and Legion of Honor member, is mad about Spike Iones, although he goes in a small way for Phil Spitalny. lf you haven't heard George play the accordion you haven't heard nuthin' yet. Another super-honor roll and Legion of Honor member, Paul Fromm, likes math and mechanical drawing best and plans to become a mechanical engineer. He is an active member of the Kelvyn Life and Civic Forum Club. Careful, gals- Paul's pet peeve is giddy girls. Also a Civic Forum member is Audrey Kurz, who has been a library assistant for three semesters. She has a passion for matching up unmatched plaids. In her serious moments she plans to study medicine. My favorite period is gym, says Legion of Honor member, honor roll student, and class president, Geraldine Geri Kouba, but lunch and division can't be topped. She swoons to Carmen Cavallaro. During breathing spells she enjoys horseback riding and swimming. Eating French fried shrimps and cherry pie we find Arthur Archie Mandler, who hopes for a career in radio. His favorite subject is English. Calling all girls 5' Z , with dull blonde hair-Mandler's hobby is photography. That is all. A member of the dis- tinguished Baracuda Burps, this large order Nick Nicco Peregud belongs to the K Klub. l-le's one of Kelvyn's baseball and basketball stars, receiving recognition in West Section in basketball. Last, but not least, is Harry Babe Klepsteen, also a Baracuda Burper, and Klub member. Babe, who is a credit to our basketball team, relaxes between games to boogie-woogie music. Summing up all this chatter, the typical junior is definitely interested in sports and boogie-woogie sends him. The boys outnumber the girls. All have definite likes and dislikes, but more than that, they are honor roll kids. -AUDBEY EGGEBS. r Y, f l BUYS' ll ll GIRLS' SPUHTS The nation today is holding the Greek ideal ot a sound body before its youth. Kelvyn Park, together with all other high schools throughout the country, is doing its part to build brawn as well as brains in its students. ln both boys' and girls' gym classes, enjoyable and sea- sonable games, such as soccer, baseball, volley ball, and basketball are played, Elective swimming classes for boys 43 and girls are conducted throughout the school day. Through these, mental and physical cofordination is developed, and co-operation and good sportsmanship are practiced. May the building of strong bodies in the youth of today lead to victory and a strong peace for the men and Women ot tomorrow. it sTx'l xy N? -T . x llrfi ff . vu s 4 Q 2: fi ' ,T 5,1 'K -at Lu., 1 N - tl 4 'fx 'Z' .

The squad will also miss the reserve help of Earl Sarner, Red Stoltenberg, lohn Bagel and Karl Tangeros, all of whom filled vacancies regularly. rw , A - 1 r Season's Scores f I..-'---ll, I KELVYN PARK QPPONENTS Q I 7 Steinmetz 7 112 X, f 21 Harrison 33 K K 5 X f U Tuley O E ff l4 Marshall 2l E f U Foreman 6 X U Austin 34 Z5 4EE?u The Senior Team ot the l944-45 season, as the record now stands, won three meets and lost six, while the Iunior Team won two and lost six. The teams were headed by co-captains Herb Klein and Bob Karkow. The former was the only member to place in the all-city swimming meet, taking second in the 220-yard free style. Other senior members were Ray Cooney, HowA ard Morton, Harold Walther, Toby Kjarsgaarcl, Gil Iensen, Bill Hohmann, Bill Oates and Norm Rauchenecker, who was high scorer. The lunior team had tour returning veterans, Ray Larson, Lloyd Schulstad, Ken lorgensen and Don Frostholrn. New Swinlminq Tennis members were Ken lacobsen, Donald Szopinski, Henry Henricksen, Bob Couleur, Ray Erickson, Charles Erb, and Carl Staff. The '44-'45 Tennis Team will be built around Arnold Thowsen, Ken Vfittleder, Don Seiffert, and Dan Ligman. Last year's team was the best Kelvyn has had since l938. Mr. Kuklin coached the team to the city champion- ship. Don Seiftert and lohnny Patel took honors in the singles, as did Don Heck and Ted Andersen in the doubles. The team was not beaten by any other school, public or parochial. They even beat the Catholic city champs! May '44-'45 again bring honors for Kelvyn's Tennis Team!!!
