It is the hope of our staff, as expressed through this Annual, to bring back to us mem¬ ories of our classmates whom we knew so well; the clubs to which we belonged; and a few of the scenes that were so familiar to us around Lane. DEDICATION To the men whose type of effort we re¬ spect and plan to follow in later life; to the men who contribute so greatly toward the maintenance of our industral equipment; to the men who are ever striving to develop newer and better devices to hasten our vic¬ tory and improve the American way of life— We dedicate this Annual to the American technologist. CONTENTS Introduction Administration Seniors Class Officers Clubs R. O. T. C. Sports Music Features STAFF Sherwin Palmer Ralph Schlenker Thaddeus Zyss Richard Vollmer Robert Lefley George Susat Mike Slijepcevick John Kochan Richard Koehler Leo Henke Harold Paske Robert Nikolich THE LANE TECH PREP The Lane Technical High School is known nationally for its accomplishments in the field of technical education. The combi¬ nation of a fine student body, an outstanding faculty and a physical plant and equipment unsurpassed by any school in the world has served to make Lane famous among educators. One of the educational practices that has aided in keeping Lane in the lead in technical work is illustrated by this yearbook. Most high schools have year books; many of them are very fine books, beautifully designed and attractively printed. But, in almost every instance, the design and execution of these books is not the work of students. The printer, the artist, and other professional workers and craftsmen do much or most of the work which makes the year book so attractive. Here at Lane Technical High School, the Lane “Tech Prep” is a student product. The theme, the art work, the written material are all student work. Even the setting of the type and the printing of the book itself are done in Lane shops. Truly the Lane Annual is a Lane year¬ book. That is why we at Lane are proud of the “Tech Prep”. J. H. Smith ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS Years from now you will gather in groups and will relive days at “good old Lane.” Episodes will return to your memory, foot¬ ball games will be reviewed, teachers will be analyzed, grades will be argued and many events of different character will come up for discussion. As you debate, argue and ponder you will come to conclusions. What will they be? Peculiar as it may seem to you now, some one in the class will say: “In that class and with that teacher we had to do the job right.” You will all agree that this was the one thing that paid a dividend. You may end your philosophical sur¬ vey when one of the group will say: “You all remember Bob and Cal. They were certainly square shooters and fellows worth having as friends.” The above are just a few side lights from an “old timer,” who, like you, spent many happy days in high school. Furthermore, what does it all prove? The philosophy, as old as the pyramids of Egypt, holds truenamely, honesty of character and honesty of work are the virtues of civilization. To the Graduates of January 1945 Four years have passed since your graduation from elemen¬ tary school and you, who have made use of the opportunities that Chicago has provided in this outstanding institution, have achieved the privlege of graduation once again. You have not completed your education. You must continue that you may be better prepared to solve the problems of life and that you may accomplish the goal you have set for your¬ selves. I sincerely wish for you a future which will bring you joy and prosperity. Always remember whatever you do; and wherever you go to be faithful to the principles under which you have been trained so that honor only will be showered upon you and upon your school. A. P. O’Mara Here is a permanent record in picture form of our friends and associates in the Senior Class. Today the names and faces are vivid; in later years these paqes will become more helpful as a reminder of the fellows we knew and worked with in the classrooms, laboratories and shops at Lane. Conditions and surroundinqs will bring many changes. Here is the record of today. HAROLD J. SCHWENNESEN President Generously the cigars flovvcd from the coat pocket of a proud father upon the arrival of his brand new baby boy May 31, 1027. This chunky little newcomer was named Harold Joseph Schwennesen. Passing through infancy, childhood and early youth with many adventures and few mishaps he was ready to begin the four years strug¬ gle in high school. After graduating from the John C Coonley elementary school in February, 1941, “Swanny,” as he was nick named, entered Amundsen High School due to a precedent set by his older brother. Because of a growing interest along the lines of science and technical work, however, he transferred to Lane in his sophomore year. The overwhelming size of Lane made an indelible impression on him. The many opportunities, both scholastic and social, immediately stimulated his ambition. Swanny’s enthusiasm was aroused at the sight of the Gymnastics Team in pratice. He tried out for the team and was overjoyed at winning his letter three semesters later. Although Harold has worked after school during most of six semesters he has enjoyed membership in several clubs: Ushers, History, Model Airplane, and Dance Clubs. Harold’s scholastic attainments resulted in freshman, sophomore, and junior scholarship awards. He was duly elected a member of the National Honor Society. Since science is his great concern his ambitions are concentrated in this field. If destiny makes it possible Harold hopes to study medicine. A Glance at Our Past Probably to a stranger, the flooding motion of Lane Indians surging from the doorways into the halls would be startling; but to us graduates, that five minute passing period symbolizes the live energetic spirit typical of Lane. To a real extent this presents Lane as more than just an immence structure of brick walls, ceiling and windows but as having an undying spirit weaving us together: a “School of Champions.” A synthesis of a typical Lane graduate can be obtained by drawing bits of character from each of the thousands of students. Almost visibly hovering above the currents of fellows passing to classes a brotherly feeling will be seen in the way one pushes another. Many friendly conver¬ sations indicate the inherent spirit of good fellowship. From an average classoom or shop are ex¬ tracted the traits of ambition and initiative for our 1945 graduate. Observation will discover the splendid cooperation among the fellows on teams and in clubs which is so essential in making the world-peace of tomorrow successful. Turning back the hands of time four years reveals us as freshies lost in a labyrinth of co ri- dors yet fascinated by this giant edifice of learning to be regarded as home for the succeeding vears of accomplishment in high school. At that time our concept of graduation was far distant in the future. Now we realize with regret how short this high school career has been. The first year acquainted us with the somewhat amazing new atmosphere, and developed a clearer understand¬ ing of high school in general. Soon came the realization that we were truly a part of this “School of Champions” and our chests swelled with pride. The first year sped rapidly and was climaxed by our feeling of self-importance when requested to choose either World History or Biology for the second year program. Becoming sophomores made no radical change in our lives. We continued adding to the list of new friendships begun in the first year. Our heads were full of nonsense. We had discovered what a barrel of fun high school could be. How gleefully we became part of the dail} hunger throng hurrying to its destination in our capacious lunchroom! The activities of clubs after school also attracted our insatiable desire for fun. As all good things come to an end this year of gaiety was no exception for it ended half our hi gh school Ufe. Acknowledging the sucessful venture of two years in high school we anxiously stepped into the ranks of upperclassmen as Juniors. This step inflicted a pronounced change upon our general scope of life. It dawned upon us that the time for graduation wasn’t as far off as we had thought. Now negligence in our education would prove disastrous in the future unless we buckled down to work. Our preparation must be superb to insure our place among the gallant warriors of our angered Nation now engaged in a stupendous conflict. Occasional visits by Lane alumni who were veterans of battles in the far reaches of the world made us eager to get into the fight. The job at hand for us, however, was to choose a course applicable to our ambitions. This was not an easy task for some since the selection of courses consisted of General Tech., Engineering Tech., College Prep, and Smith-Hughes. As we focused our mental energies upon .Mr Corps, Navy Air Corps, the V5 and V12 programs. .Ml of these opportunities were open to us. them. We were told of coming examinations for specialized training in hte service; the Army Our teachers graciously helped us prepare fo these tests. This third year made us begin to realize how close we were to becoming men. At last we were elevated to the rank of Seniors. The closer graduation came the more we wondered if what the alumni had told us was true. “You boys will miss Lane once you’re out,” they would say. After trying to visualize ourselves out of Lane we decided it was true. There would be something missing. The class of January 1945 wishes to thank the teachers in two ways. First in words, sec¬ ondly by proving that their conscientious efforts made to transform us to intelligent men have not been in vain. To our parents belongs our most sincere gratitude. We can never hope to repay all they have done for us. As the climax of our education at Lane approaches the thought of leaving causes us to hesitate and want to live over the many unforgettable enjoyments of tbe past four years which shall never be erased from our memories. Now a glance at Lane reveals that once frightening structure as mellowed and kind—a dear refuge against a forbidding world. H.xrold J. Schwennesen Merle ary mar Merle then. “School as he was MERLE H.

Because of the fact that there are so many students interested in various hobbies. Lane is fortunate in having the most varied types of clubs possible to join. To the boys who gain more knowledge and skill by their active membership we dedicate this section of the 1945 Annual. CLUBS AIR CONDITIONING The purpose of the Air Conditioning Club is to gain all the knowledge and information possible on the subject by hearing lectures and seeing films given by engineers. After ten years of existence the club is one of Lane’s finest in the industrial field. The sponsor is Mr. Gotschall. 4a architects This years club is one of the smallest in its entire history, due chiefly to after¬ school war work of those interested. The training received during the three years of study gives the boys an advantage over most students of architecture. The club has collected many books over a period of time so as to start an arch- tectural library. Its sponsor is Mr. Piper. I i Page fifty-four FRENCH CLUB The French Club is composed of boys from the French classes who are inter¬ ested in their further progress in the use of the language. Since its founding its popularity and activities have made it one of Lanes finest clubs. The organization is sponsored by Mrs. G. Sheridan. INVADERS CLUB We’ve all heard of the cheerleaders, but how many of us have heard of the Invaders Club and their wonderful work? We all know that the backbone of a team depends largely upon the spirit of the cheering section. Many weak teams have put up a valiant struggle with their school behind them. Page fifty-five USHERS CLUB It is the duty of the Ushers Club to handle the crowds at the various affairs that the school sponsors. When we have special programs that would ordinarily need the careful watchfulness of the teachers these boys take the place of the teachers and safeguard the pupils from any unnecessary crowding. These boys also volunteer their services for extra duty on the nights of the concert and the GERMAN CLUB The German Club, composed of students majoring in German gives its members practice in the proper usage of the German language in its educational and enter¬ taining meetings. The club discusses everything as much as possible in German. Page fiftij-six f USHERS CLUB class play. The boys have an oportunity to earn the “L” for service to the school. Under the sponsorship of Mr. E. A. Anderson this club is rendering great service to our school. President _ J. Pohlman Vice President _ A. Estrella GERMAN CLUB Socials with girls of neighboring schools are part of the activities. In this way students can exchange opinions and enjoy themselves at the same time. Much of the success of the club is due to the able sponsorship of Mrs. Beck. [ Page fifty-seven !l HALLGUARD OFFICERS Our school has one of the larjjest hallguard organizations in this section. This organization provides extra work for the officers who have the job of supervising hallguai ' d activities. Chief _ W. Bastian Assistant Chief _ W. Fischer HONOR SOCIETY OFFICERS — LANE CHAPTER The officers of the Lane Technical Honor Society are chosen by election each semester. For the 4A semester they are; Thaddeus Zyss, President; Donald Nor- densten, Vice-President; Bertram Anderson, Secretary; George Bell, Treasurer; James Pantaleo, Sergeant-at-Arms. The main function of the officers is to assist Mr. Vaughan in every possible w ay. Page fifty-eight NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Lane Technical High School Honor Society tends to bring together the numerous outstanding individuals. At the present the honor society functions only as an association where a superior student may distinguish himself. The society is primarily based on four points, namely: scholarship, leadership, citizen¬ ship and character. The applicant has to be considerably above average in all of them. In the past the group has taken a great interest in the social activities, but due to the war much of this has had to be curtailed. The one who so efficiently and capably sponsors this group is Mr. Vaughan, who has worked untiringly for the advancement of the society and its members Page fifty-nine MAGIC CLUB Because of the fact that they have good magician s as officers this year has been a successful one for the Magic Club. Many a boy has jumped from dinner trickster to good amateur magician. Being sponsored by Miss E. Einarsen it has been very successful and will continue to be one of Lane’s finest clubs. RADIO CLUB The Lane Radio Club tries to teach its members radio theory and the Con¬ tinental Code in order to prepare them for the Government Amateur License Examination Another important task is the operation of all our public address systems in school and in our stadium which must be operating on a moments notice. Its capable sponsor is Mr. Kulieke. Page sixty CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club is under the able guidance of Mr. Hagey. The members are taught the fundementals of developing, enlarging and composition. The club has at its disposal a well equipped dark room. The members may go during their free periods and develop, print, enlarge their photos. The club serves the school in many ways by taking pictures of many leading activities. CIVIL AIR PATROL Under the able leadership of Lt. C. E. Packer, the Lane Flight has won many honors. The latest of these is a beautiful trophy presented to the Flight for the winning of the competitive drill match from the competing flights of other schools. Judging the future by the past there is every reason to believe Lane’s Flight will continue to live up to the high standards of our other military organizations. Page sixty-one ROLLER CLUB The roller club under the new sponsorship of P. Nuccio has once again resumed its popular activities. All meetings which have been held after regular school hours have been very successful. This semester’s activities began with the elec¬ tion of new club officers. Plans were quickly made for the usual semi-annual Roller Club Party. This occasion has always proved to be the most popular of the club’s activities. The club Constitution was produced in order to enlighten the new members as to the benefits and ideals of the club. A member who has proved him¬ self of exceptional value or has been in the club for two or more semesters will receive a gold skating pin at the end of the current semester. Plans for bettering the club are always given careful consideration before being put into practical use. Through the club, members may learn many dance routines and tricks. Page sixty-two BOWLING CLUB Bowling is now one of the most popular indoor sports though it is more than just a game; it requires skill and co-ordination of the muscles and constant prac¬ tice in order to gain the necessary skill for competition. This club provides a special student rate which enables the boys to go bowling at a reasonable cost. Teams of five boys each are formed and contests are held between them. Usually at the close of the season the five best bowlers are picked to compete in the city competition. These boys become known as the “Lane Bowling Team”. They are coached by Mr. Siebert. Page sixty-three STAGE CREW Lane’s spacious stage is equipped with many necessary facilities which can only be operated by trained hands. The boys of the stage crew operate and maintain these facilities in ship shape order. It is to these fellows that we owe thanks for the professional management of our stage. The sponsor is Mr. Waddell. TOOL DESIGNERS The Tool Designers, a majority of whom are in the Smith-Hughes course, acquaint themselves with the designing and construction of small tools, mach¬ inery and the blanking of dies. They are also given the fundamentals of necessary mathematics. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Shattow the club should promote great designers. Page sixty-four PRINTERS CLUB One of Lane’s oldest Clubs is that of the Printers. The purpose of the club is to keep the members informed as to new developments that are occuring in the field of printing. Many tours are taken by the club. Among them are; “The Chicago Tribune,” and Herald American,” and others. SLIDE RULE CLUB About ten years ago the Lane Slide Rule Club was formed by Mr. Shattow, who had the express purpose in mind of teaching and many possible operations of the slide rule to any student who desires the knowledge. The club has fun¬ ctioned along this line ever since and through its weekly meeting the members have become more adept in the use of the slide rule. I STUDENT COUNCIL The Lane Student Council, which consists of representatives of all divisions is under the sponsorship of Mr. Sundberg. The Council has been noted for its guid¬ ing work throughout the many school campaigns. The money from the budget is divided proportionally among the various organizations, laws pertaining to the student body are passed after careful consideration. If a division has an idea or problem it may present this query to the council. In turn the body will then hold its scheduled meeting and following debate will pass or turn down the idea. This Student Council is one of our most constructive factors in shaping our traditions. Page sixty-six SPUR AND SADDLE Under the sponsorship of Mr. Longman the Spur and Saddle Club has been in existence for nine years. It teaches the boy not only how to ride but good sportsmanship which must never be neglected when riding horses. Every sem¬ ester hayrides and socials are held with various neighboring schools. TECH PREP SALESMEN Virtually all regular news events reported are covered in some way in the Tech Prep. These issues which now come out three times a semester have to be distrib¬ uted among the students. The Tech Prep salesmen volunteer their services in or¬ der that we may continue having one of the best High School periodicals in the city. Page sixty-seven 1 LATIN CLUB The Lane Latin Club is one of the new organizations at Lane. It is formed to further the knowledge of the ways and means of the ancient Roman and Greek citizens. The club is under the able sponsorship of Mr. Culbertson, head of all Latin classes at Lane. The senior group is interested in the Latin language, and dis¬ cusses the times of famous wars among the people of Julius Caesar’s time. A few social affairs have been held during this semester. The clubs officers are: President - j. Pantaleo Vice-President - M. Slijepcevich Secretary - E, Brown Treasurer - L. Tresselt Page sixty-eight r TRAFFIC ENGINEERS Because of the fact that there are so many students here at Lane we must have in constant service a safety system for crossing the busy streets and inter¬ sections. This task has been given to our traffic engineers who are on their posts early in the morning and late in the afternoon to protect the students. WELDERS CLUB The Welders Club consists mostly of Smith Hughes students who want to gain more knowledge by adding extra time to their practice of welding. Through this club many of its members have gone out and become expert welders during the present war. Mr. W. E. Coleman, the welding instructor is its sponsor. Page sixty-nine SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB The Social Science club has two main groups or divisions. The civics and the so-called walkie talkie” which name is derived because of its particular ac¬ tivities. The civics group is based on the fundamentals of government, past, present, and future. This club brings to its members additional information and advanced studies pertaining to our laws. The members learn the basic principles upon which our government is founded and will be better fitted for the big job ahead of them. The “walkie talkie” group was so named because they visited var¬ ious exhibits relating to their particular studies. Trips have been made to sever¬ al museums and the Naval War Exhibition with other trips in preparation. Page seventy HALLGUARDS It is the duty of the hallguards to see that the rules of the school are strictly enforced. This insures order in the halls and a tidy appearance. Rules were made for the benefit of the school and it is the job of the hallguards to see that they are carried out. The hallguards are responsible for the passing and conduct in the halls. The sponsor is Mr. Palka. POLISH CLUB The Polish Club is one of Lane’s oldest and finest clubs. Under the sponsorship of Mr. E. Simon, the club has been working up a fine program of social activities and is also doing much to improve the class work studies. The clu b is affiliated with the City-Wide Polish Students Federation, in which Lane takes a leading role. Page seveyity-one ART CLUB A. new organization for the encouragement of talented, artistic young men is the Art Club. Its members are fellows who enjoy making caricatures, por¬ traits, and art projects. Plans are being made for trips to art studios, adver¬ tising offices, and printing and lithographing plants. The club also has entries in several national art contests. Miss Sullivan is the sponsor. CLINIC Because of the fact that Lane is a technical school we are apt to have a few accidents which may be injurious to a student. But due to the excellent care our clinic renders no injury becomes serious, thanks to Dr. Koch and a fine staff of Red Cross helpers. Page seventy-two DANCE CLUB The Dance Club under the able sponsorship of Mr. Landes is one of the top clubs here at Lane. The club provides dancing instructions to all interested. For those who have had no dancing experience, the club has a beginners’ class which gives the novice instructions as to the basic dance steps. Because of the fact that there are so many new dance steps being created, the advanced class has been organized to show the students how they are preformed. In order to put their knowledge of dancing into effect socials are held with neighboring schools. The affairs are held here in Gym 3 and in the gymnasiums of other schools. They Page seventy-three DANCE CLUB have all proved very educational as well as providing pleasant recreation for the Dance Club members of Lane. President - D. Nordensen Vice-President _ G. Olson iV PAN AMERICAN CIUB Among our various clubs at Lane we have one that is well known to everyone. One cannot go far without meeting someone who is in the Pan-American club, you will find that on one certain day a great many fellows appear in suit coats with a nice tie. This is the day of the outstanding Pan-American Fiesta. At this ft Page seventy-four PAN AMERICAN CLUB time Lane invites the members of the clubs of neighboring schools. Refreshments are served. The purpose of this club is to stimulate a closer relationship between the Amer¬ icans. The members usually come out of the Spanish classes because Spanish is the most common language. The club, which has been in existance for a period of seven years, has many activities such as speakers, movies, and music. Seasonal songs are written in Spanish for the classes to try their skill. South America boasts many beautiful costumes. Lane’s Pan-American atmos¬ phere is mostly displayed in room 303 which is the Spanish Club room. Flags of Page seventy-five PAN AMERICAN CLUB all the Pan-American countries are displayed and also maps and charts pertaining to all South American countries. During the Pan-American club meetings, discussions are held on various topics such as industry, recreation and business. Skits, singing of songs, “movies, and the showing of slides olso help to educate the club members. Due to the untiring efforts of the sponsors, Mrs. Mendez, Miss Gavin, and Miss Foster, A. Braun, and committees, the Lane unit of the Pan-American club has won an enviable reputation. seventy-six Page seventy-seven Lane not only excels in the technical fields but also in the musical world. The four year music course which is offered here is one of the finest in the country. Because of the consistant winning of top honors in every type of secondary school musical contest our music department has done much to add to the good reputation of Lane. On the follow¬ ing pages the Lane music department pres¬ ents to the layman and professional a glim pse of what it is accomplishing in its field. LANE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA To those of us who are graduating Lane will always be a symbol of strength and learning. Undoubtedly one of the groups that is responsible for our high regard for school is the Lane Sym¬ phony Orchestra. This organization is heard of in all parts of the TTnited States and has the reputation of being one of the finest high school orchestras in the country. For over two decades the Lane Sym¬ phony has won top place in both city and nation¬ al contests. Many people take Lane’s consistant winning of honors as a matter of course; but the real reason is extreme persistance. When we entered Lane, in January of 1941, Mr. Paul Schneider was appointed conductor of this group of high school musicians, and since that time he has never failed to lead the orches¬ tra to first place. In the spring of ’41 the orches¬ tra journeyed to Flint, Michigan, for the nation¬ al championships, and returned with first prize. In March of 1942 the group was chosen from among all other high school orchestras to repre¬ sent the country in the national music convention held at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The boys stayed at Milwaukee for three days and gave five con¬ certs, two of which were broadcast over a nation¬ wide hook-up, and also short waved to South America and Canada. Today, Because of trans- Page eighty CHAMPIONS portation facilities and priorities due to the war, national contests have been suspended. Two groups that are affiliated with the sym¬ phony orchestra are the theatre orchestra and the swing band. Both are composed of a group of players from the orchestra. It is to the mem¬ bers of the theatre orchestra that we are deeply indebted for entertainment during Mask and Shears plays, commencement and other occasions. The second group, the swing band, is quite pop¬ ular with Laneites, and plays for many occasions. In addition to the symphony orchestra, thea¬ tre orchestra and swing band, there is another group of players which constitute the various ensembles. The most active of these groups are the quartets and quintets, although there are a few sextets and octets. These ensembles have had the honor of playing for many distinguished persons in exclusive affairs downtown. City con¬ tests are held annually, and following the trad¬ ition of Lane, we always come in “tops”. The four year course in music that is offered at Lane is unequalled in the schools of Chicago. In its scope it includes theory, harmony, coun¬ terpoint, music appreciation, music history, in¬ strumental instruction, and orchestration. Mr. Blum and Mr. Grill share with Mr. Schneider the honors of developing our Lane orchestra. Page eighty-one LANE CONCERT BAND It is the Lane Concert Band to whom we stu¬ dents of Lane owe much gratitude. It has done much toward our enjoyment, as well as our school reputation. The members of this group and their conductor, Gardner P. Huif referred to familiarly as “Cap Huff”, are the ones respon¬ sible for the entertainment which is commonly provided for all assemblies that are held for spec¬ ial occasions such as Bond Drives, Armistice Day, Navy Day, Army Day and for many school assemblies. At all of our football games and many of the basketball games the R. 0. T. C. band is always in there, plugging away to help our side gain the victory. The nucleus of the R.O.T.C. band is composed of the Concert Band augment¬ ed by less experienced players. Annually contests are held in which individ¬ ual skill is judged by professional judges. These contests are looked forward to with the greatest of anticipation by all of the fellows qualifying. The various instrument contests are assigned to schools on different days. The baton twirling, percussion and stringed instrument contests are usually held at Lane. Page eighty-tivo CITY CHAMPIONS Ever since 1930 the Concert Band has had the honor of being City Band Champions and since 1938 National Champions. But the idea of the band is not to win championships but to give to the student a preview of standard concert band numbers. If he intends to follow up the profes¬ sion of music after graduation this is of the greatest assistance. The band has over a period of many years accumulated a considerable li¬ brary of music which it manages to run through once every year, and in some cases several times. These numbers are, as stated previously, chosen to present a full scope of standard concert pieces and Lane is one of the few high schools in the nation to offer so complete and beneficial a course. In the spring of 1942 the band played for an Army assembly at which were present high ranking Army officials who, after hearing our band perform, offered to incorporate the band right into the Army. This of course was imposs¬ ible because of the various regulations that pertain to the musicians so Captain Huff had to decline the offer. Co-operation and leadership is not only developed when the full band rehears¬ es but also when individual section rehearsals are held. Page eighty-three Broader vision, wider perspective, an in¬ formed citizenry, and able leadership, quali¬ fied to serve in peace and in war - these are among the purposes of the R. O. T. C You who have been a part of the Lane Regiment, who will become a part of its legend, who are now stepping into a conflict where such qualities are so essentia], you know the value of the training you have received here. It is our hope that the following pages will help you recall a pleasant and profitable associa¬ tion with our unit. THE STAFF Maj. Kochan Maj. Tresselt Lt. Col. Downey Maj. Adams Capt. Kecatos The highest honor that any cadet can achieve, upon reaching his 4A semester, is to become a member of the regimental staff. When, after two years of steady promotion, a cadet reaches the rank of second Lieutenant, or better, he is eligi¬ ble to take the staff test. He is tested on his knowledge of Military Science and Tactics, his ability to drill, and on his merit of past semes¬ ters. A prospective officer must have a high schoolastic average. After the competitive scores are established the lieutenant colonel and his staff are chosen. This staff is composed of a lieutenant colonel and six majors, three regimental and three battalion, and a supply captain. The Lieutenant Colonel at present is Joseph Downey, a capable and well liked commander. His staff is as fol¬ lows; Executive Major John Kochan; P. T. Major Louis Tresselt; Regimental Adjutant Edwin Adams. These three Majors compose the regimental staff. The battalion Majors are as follows; 1st. Battalion, John Schmidt; 2nd. Bat¬ talion, Ray Peters; and 3rd. Battalion, Edward Gessner. The supply captain is Ted Kecatos. L t. Col. Downey is in charge of officers’ school and, of course, is assisted by his staff. Lt. Col. Downey also supervises the Crack Drill Platoon. One day a week he is in charge of Saber School. Major Kochan is in charge of N.C.O. School. Major Tresselt is in charge of making a train¬ ing plan for the regiment. Major Adams is in charge of the office records and supplies. Major Peters’ main responsibilities are the first ser¬ geants. Major Schmidt is in charge of Color and Guidon Schools. Major Gessner is publicity ad¬ visor and disciplinary officii’ Page eightg-six Officers and Non-Coms School Maj. Schmidt Maj. Peters Maj. Gessner OFFICERS’ SCHOOL Officers’ school, which is under the command of Lt. Col. Joseph Downey, is conducted in a most military manner. All officers, including staff members, must attend this school. The off¬ icers are taught the proper method of instruc¬ tion, methods of handling the cadets, and spe¬ cialized drill and command. No other school takes as much time in training its officers as Lane. It is said, “an officer is as good as his poorest cadet”. Many times Lane officers have been commended on their resource¬ fulness and attentiveness in obeying and carry¬ ing out orders. Therefore one can see why the Lane regiment maintains the highest standards of any regiment of its size. N. C. 0. SCHOOL Non-commissioned officers school, which is under the supervison of Major Kochan is assis¬ ted by one of Lane’s most commendable officers, 1st. Lt. Raymond Frendahl. They have the job of instructin g and teaching the future officers of Lane. The N.C.O. is said to be the backbone of the regiment. This statement discribes him perfect¬ ly. It is the N.C.O. who is in direct contact with the men of the ranks, because he is one of them. The N.C.O.’s deeds exceeds those of the officers, for he must work hand in hand with both officers and cadets. He asks no special recognition for a job well done, other than that of bettering him¬ self in the eyes of his superiors. Page eighty-seven Military Instructors Sgt. Allan C. Gordon Sgt. George R. Baxter Cpl. Sam Britt Sgt. George R. Baxter Sgt. George R. Baxter, the Senior Military Intructor at Lane, is in his third year with this unit, coming to Lane in September, 1942. Sgt. Baxter was born in Kirkwood, Illinois, where he attended both grade and high school. He com¬ pleted his schooling at Brown’s, in Galesburg, Illinois, Later he accepted a position as account¬ ant in San Antonio, Texas, and then as manager of one of the Atlas News Company stores in Shrevport, Louisiana. In 1932 he joined Battery “B”, 123rd. F.A. and in 1936 was transferred to the Regimental Headquarters Battery of the same regiment. In both of these units he was an instructor in Map Reading and Pistol Marksmanship, and had charge of the Instrument and Surveying detail. While at Camp Forest, Tennessee, he was on de¬ tached service as a member of the 58th F. A. Brigade instructing staff. Following the 2nd. Army maneuvers in Ar¬ kansas and Louisiana in 1941, the Sergeant was transferred to Ft. Sheridan, where he served as Provost Sergeant and recruit instructor. In June, 1942, he was transferred to the R.O.T.C. detail here in Chicago. His favorite sports are baseball and hockey, his favorite entertainments are good music and reading. Cpl. Sam Britt Corporal Sam Britt is serving his first year as a military instructor at Lane having been as¬ signed to this detail in July, 1944 He was born in Huntingdon, Tennessee, on August 1, 1908. Here he attended grade and high school. He moved to Memphis, Tenn. where he completed high school and attended the West Tennessee State Teachers’ College. Later he attended Drau- ghn’s Business College, Burrough’s School of Commerce, and the American Institute of Bank¬ ers. He was connected with the city of Memphis for three years and then took employment with the First National Bank of that city. At the time of his entry int o the armed services he was in charge of out of town collections and local drafts. Cpl. Britt entered the army in March, 1944 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, received his basic training at Fort Custer, Michigan, and was assigned to his present detail in July. The Cor¬ poral is married, has a small daughter, and his favorite sports are tennis and baseball. Sgt. Allan C. Gordon Sgt. Allen C. Gordon is serving his first year as an instructor at Lane, coming here in Sept¬ ember, 1944. He was born inAshland, Wiscon¬ sin, where he attended grade and high school and Business College, In 1937, after having been imployed by the Abbott Laboratories for two years, he enlisted in the army at Ft. Snelling Minnesota, being as¬ signed to “F” Battery of the 14th Field Artil¬ lery. In 1939 he was transferred to the 3rd. F.A. and then to Headquarters Battery of the 19th F.A. at Fort Knox, Ky. After instructing re¬ cruits for several months he went on the Lou¬ isiana maneuvers of 1941. Page eighty-eight Training In The R.O.T.C. Although started during the first World War, and made a permanent part of our defense sys¬ tem in 1920, most people still have an entirely wrong conception of the purpose and functions of the R.O.T.C. After twenty-five years the ma¬ jority still has the idea that “RO” consists of drill, parades and strutting around in a uniform. They believe its chief purpose is to “make sold¬ iers” out of boys. Such is not the case. The R.O.T.C. has three distinct aims in its training program for the high school boy. Just as no individual can do best when he is ill, so can no nation achieve its proper place in the world if the people who compose that nation are weak and diseased. For this reason we seek to build a strong and healthy citizenry. Through classes in First Aid and in the laws of Sanitation and Hygiene, the R.O.T.C. teaches the cadets to pro¬ tect the health and to save the lives of them¬ selves and of others. Equally important is bodi¬ ly development. Through correct posture, proper breathing, the light exercise of drill, together with the more strenuous physical exercises, we seek to build and maintain strong and healthy bodies. Even the strongest body is of little good to the nation if the mind which controls it is not in accord with the laws of the nation. In order that we may develop an honest and useful citizenry the cadet is given such subjects as Citizenship, the Constitution, American Philosophy of Gover¬ nment and Military History. Thus the cadet is taught respect for our American ideals, and how to take his place, as a citizen, in the function¬ ing of our government. Finally, we seek to develop strong, efficient and able leaders. Today, as at no other time since the founding of our republic and private enter- prize, we need men who can accept responsibil¬ ity, and who will not fail to give their best, in¬ stilling these same virtues in those serving under them. In the practical application of leadership, the first step is teaching the boy to obey. No man can become a leader, giving orders and dii’ect- ing others, until he first learns to take orders. The boy must learn to respect and obey his su¬ perior officers. He must learn self-control as well as submission to the authority of others. Hav¬ ing learned these fundamentals, the boy is now ready to advance. Having won the right to a Corporal’s rank through a competitive test, he assumes command of a squad. As he proves him¬ self he advances though the various non-com¬ missioned grades; then, if he has the ability, he may become a 2nd. Lieutenant. As a Captain he will command a company of about eighty men. He is responsible for their formations, drill, and instruction, under the watchful eyes of the Mil¬ itary Instructors. He must be a real leader. He must develope loyalty to himself and to his unit. Thus the R.O.T.C. of today, by presenting a full, well-rounded program, is developing a corps of capable, well-trained leaders who tomorrow will be able to fill the many positions of respon¬ sibility and trust where they are now needed. Page eighty-nine COMPETITION PLATOON CRACK DRILL SQUAD One of the outstanding events of the year, at least for the R.O.T.C., is the annual Platoon Com¬ petition, held generally in March. Every R.O.T.C. unit in the city enters a platoon in this compet¬ ition and the Armory where the event is held is crowded all day with interested spectators. The Competition is very keen and the judging is very close. Often the winners are determined by fractions of a point. Last year second and fifth place winners were separated by less than five points. The present Cadet Lieutenant Colonel, Joseph A. Downey, was commander of the platoon in the competition last spring. The platoon placed fifth in the event and each member of the platoon was awarded a ribbon bar for this honor This year’s platoon plans to do even better. Quite a number are back from last year and they are working hard to secure the plaque awarded for first place. THE COLOR GUARD The Lane R.O.T.C. unit maintains three Color Guard units in order to take care of the many calls for such work. In addition to the various R.O.T.C. and school functions at which they are used, they recieve many calls from civic and patrio¬ tic groups, for memorial services, dedications, “E” awards, parades and other affairs, as well as taking part in formalities at football games. Service on one of the Color Guards is voluntary but is eagerly sought after. It requires a great deal of practice, all outside of the regular R.O.T.C. period, and places on the detail are won only after close competition. THE FLAG DETAIL One of the jobs that falls to the R.O.T.C. here at Lane is the raising and lower¬ ing of the school flag each day. This job is given to a detail consisting of a Cadet 2nd. Lieutenant, Sergeant and Corporal. This detail is changed each week. The Lieutenant, who commands the detail, must watch the weather so that the flag does not fly in the rain. Page ninety RIFLE TEAM This year’s team, under the excellent super¬ vision of Sgt. Gordon, is going to be built around the remainder of last year’s team of veterans. The older members will assist Sgt. Gordon and Cadet Major Ray Peters, the captain, to break in the new members to the routine of the range. Elimination tryouts for the ten vacancies left by the graduating members ran until the end of November. The team consists of the following men: Ray Peters, Capt. Ed Adams Louis Tresselt Walter Krupp Hermann Zander Leonard Rogoza Douglas Brieske Ted Zyss Harold Franck Chet Schirmer Ralph Kozeny Fred Sood Robert Swenson David Dalton Robert Beardmore Ray Hudash Richard Kothera Michael Mancone William Mack Kenneth Gnaster These men have shown that they have the makings of a first rate group of marksmen and also a first place team. Sgt. Gordon, being a new instructor, has brought with him many new and excellent ideas for improving the team. Years in the army have given him practical experience on which to base these suggestions. One of his ideas for training consists of vigorous exercises with rifles to build up the muscles in the arms, shoulders, and legs. The reason for strengthen¬ ing these particular muscles is because the great¬ est physical strain is on them while in position for firing. Sgt. Gordon and Cadet Major Peters have various ideas for making the men relax during a match. A good marksman is always re¬ laxed when shooting. If he is tense or nervous he is not going to be accurate because all his muscles are tight and strained. The team has worked hard for these competi¬ tive matches. The two big matches of the year. Sixth Service Command and Hearst Trophy, are set for early the second semester, but graduating cadets are allowed to fire before they leave. Be¬ fore these big occasions take place the team challenges several other schools for training matches. Page ninty-one Today, sports at Lane is playing an increasingly important role in the building of physically fit young men for military duties and for the later responsibilities in develop¬ ing world peace. Lane Tech, the school of champions, has mxaintained its standing in athletic compe¬ tition this year by annexing six city champ¬ ionships in senior swimming, baseball, cross country, junior swimming, soccer, and junior ice skating. We also won the North Section title in football and junior basketball to top off a very successful year. r Cross Country—City Champions The Lane Cross Country team, which has be¬ come more powerful each year, has captured its fifth consecutive city championship. The Harriers who ran in the city meet at Washington Park broke the sixteen year old record of 24 by racking up a 21 point win. The low mark wins in cross country competition. The previous week they won the mythical sub¬ urban crown by beating 13 schools in the Pro¬ viso Township Invitational in which over 100 boys ran. Lane scored the lowest with 66, while Proviso ran second with 83, Schurz third with 93, and Morton fourth with 109. The Quad¬ rangle meet between Lane, Schurz, Du Sable and Thornton was a rout with Lane scoring 26 to Schurz’ second place of 41. The only perfect day for the harriers came when they engaged Emer¬ son and rang up a perfect 15 to 112 triumph, the first five men being from Lane. The “Hill and Dale” boys had such a powerful squad this year that they could have sacrificed their first five placers and still have won the city championship. The teams’ winning spree started back in 1938 when they recovered from a pre¬ year slump to take a second place in the city contest. In 1939 they repeated the second place performance and gathered strength for the fol¬ lowing year when they won the crown, hands down. And so it has been for five successive years and according to Coach Siebert the re¬ turning squad for next season will be better. Captain A1 Kaenel, a 4B, led his team to the city title by taking a third place in the city meet. Carl Wichmann was low man and fastest Lane runner by virtue of his second place berth. Placing fourth was Hal Cook another top run¬ ner and a June graduate. Next in line was Den¬ nis Manning, who is only a 3B. Manning, who placed fifth will be captain of the 1945 squad. Douglas Bowers was Lane’s fifth man to place. He held the Tech’s score down by capturing a seventh place berth. Coming in a fast thirteenth was Jack Heida another June graduate. James Koehler, a 4A graduate, is the Chicago Cross Country Novice Champion. The Championship Cross Country Team is filled out by such able runers as: Earl Rutzen, John Klages, Paul Spiewak, Mathew Ciechen, William Rajkowski, Bill McDermott, Eugene Lesser, Jerry Proesel, Robert Olafs, Leo Wiens, Ralph Lepcin, James Stewart, Robert Levy, Richard Miller, Donald Russell, Robert Christ¬ ensen, Alfred Lenczewski, Jerry Florence, Skib- bens, Moreno, Hemple, Wienierski and Michalak. Harold Feldman ably handles the publicity and managing departments. Page 7imety-four Swimming - City Champions The Lane senior swimming team won its tenth consecutive title in the annual 20 yard swim¬ ming championships at the University of Chi¬ cago by rolling up 38 points against 10 for the second place teams. During the seaso n the team had engaged Crane Tech and Oak Park, beating both. The splashers downed Crane 66 to 6 and Oak Park 36 to 30. In the city meet Bob Gibe led the scoring by winning the 40 and 220 yard freestyle events. Captain Glenn Weber hung up a second place in the 100 yard breastroke and the 180 yard med¬ ley relay. Bob Lefley, veteran boardman won the fancy diving over the favored Kachinskas of Tilden. George Wietor, sage of the swimming team, placed third in the 220. Jack Albers just failed to place by one tenth of a second. A1 Greiner and Harry Madsen captured third and fourth place berths in the 100 yard backstroke swim. Earl Terp who anchored the second place medley relay with Madsen at backstroke placed forth in the 100 yard crawl. Bob Wiess just missed scoring in the 100. Four fast men in the persons of Don Coope, Walter Krautstrunk, Jack Tillson, and Dave Allen swam a terrific race to win the 160 yard relay. Paul Hedmark and Jim Holloway, new¬ comers on the diving board, show great promise. The junior team completely dominated the field in the junior 20 yard pool championships by winning five of the seven first places and pil¬ ing up 43 points to Senn’s and Schurz’ second place 14. Earlier in the season they beat Crane Tech 37 to 14 and later beat Oak Park 42 to 13. Captain Johnny Nickolich sparked his team by winning the 40 yard breastroke race with yards to spare and later he boosted the medley relay into a new city record. Ralph ‘Red’ John¬ son raced in to take the backstroke crown and then one event later he captured third place in the 100 yard freestyle swim. George ‘Joey’ Thompson defending board champ won his event again with about 20 points to spare. Lance Sandburg, Thompson’s running mate, grabbed the second place berth. Jack Thomas sliced him¬ self by taking two places and a second in the 40 and 100 yard freestyle sprints. Bud Gries- bach, backstroke on the first place medley, won a third place spot in the 40 yard backstroke swim. Anchoring the medley relay was Herman Lehman who splashed his way to fourth place in the 100 yard freestyle race. The championship 160 yard relay was com¬ posed of Elmer Newell, who took fourth in the 40 yard sprint, George Howard, Herb Johnson, and Dennis Holfnagle, who anchored. Page ninty-five Fencing Fencing, a difficult sport that depends on speed, agility, instant reaction, leg and arm strengt h, and brains, is an important feature in Lane athletics. When the fencing meets start in February the squad will be led by such veterans as George Zuckerman, Bob Simon, Adam Wiese, Carl Manzo, Richard Tringali, Leon Zoghlin, Jordan Krimstein and Frank Ranft. The junior team is composed of E. Addler, E. Chelstorp, H. Clam- age, D. Wahle and C. Zuckerman. According to Coach Moore the prospects look good for another championship squad this spring. Although the team has to be developed in pitch¬ ing, third base, and the outfield positions it still has plenty of punch left from last season with the return of six veterans. The returning lettermen are: captain Milt Majercik, catcher; Irv Medlinger, first base; Harry Wilson, second base; John Howsin, short stop; and two pitchers, Ray Alman and Ray Lewis. Skembaro and Adam- Isiewicy are two other returning players. Fall practice proved very promising. The turn¬ out was large and many new men were picked for the team. Among them were: Outfielders; Bastian, Norton, Beal, Erickson, Biancalana, Rostes, R. Majercik, Fleming, Handnardt, Litt, Newbauer, Johnson, Anderson and Mason. In¬ fielders: Epstein, Tice, Prinz. Pitchers: Smith, a 2B who will be sensational, Lundquist, Asmus, and Paneman. Spring practice will start the first of Feb¬ ruary every ninth period. Some of the new sea¬ son games will be with Waukegan, Proviso, Oak Park, Morton, Crane, Harrison, Fenger, Kelly, Evanston, New Trier, Austin, and Hyde Park. Page ninety-six SOCCER - CITY CHAMPIONS Lane’s powerful Soccer team increased its strings of championships to five consecutive city titles by crushing Tilden Tech in the city finals 6-0. Then they went on to win the county crown by edging out Morton Township 10. The Iron- head’s season was perfect except for two ties; one with Von Stuben 2-2, and the other with A- mundsen 0-0. The outstanding men on the soccer team were captain Alfred Dunn, inside left, and Roy Mur¬ ray, center fullback. These two boys were the high point scorers on the team. Dunn is a junior and Murray a senior. Other members of the first string squad are: Don Eisen, outside left; Joe Gaba, inside right; Frank Janda, outside right; Jack Guthrie, left halfback; Joe Skolmowski, center halfback; and Frank Streng, Goalie. The outstanding substitutes were Stan Banas, Marvin Hylin, Robert Klien, and Mort Nemer- off. The manager was George Suchecki. Wrestling Some of the returning veteran grapplers are: James Elg, Nick Carnella, Art Peisker, Bob La Bianso, Ed Manion, Kenneth Rogers, Ray Berndston, and Bill Olbrisch. I. M. Managers The current managers are: Walter Lakowski, Leroy Palmer, Jim Chernosky, Ed Busykouski, Fred Deindoerfer, Dale Boddeker, John Kakleas, Robert Graas and Don Camacho. Page ninty-seven Football - Section Champions Once again Lane has proved she is the “S chool of Champions’ ' by producing one of the best teams that she has ever sent out on the gridiron. They only brought home the north section champ¬ ionship but established a record which was un¬ matched by any other school in the city. Out of six league games Lane won all, scoring a grand total of 225 points, allowing only two teams to score against them. Entering into their first game as the under¬ dog the Indians held the powerful Senn team for three quarters, then Aldo Bizzotto broke home licking their wounds after suffering defeats, Amundsen 52-0 and Waller 66-6. Although they were pushed out of the city finals by Fenger the Lane team still had the best rec¬ ord in the city. In the poll for the north section team Bob Garcea and Bill Fisher took tackle positions and George Erath center on the first team. Dick Ber¬ ger and Milt Weinberg were placed on the second team while Chuck Koehler and Aldo Bizzotto were given honorable mention. Key members of the football squad are: through and ran thirty-four yards for a touch¬ down, giving Lane a 6-0 victory. The next game with the Schurz Bulldogs yielded another 6-0 victory for Lane when Frank Seyferlich plowed over for the only touchdown late in the second quarter. The following week the Indians scalped Lake View 58-0. Sullivan unlike the other teams, was able to score 6 points against us, but with runs by Dick Berger, Alex Cichanski, and Chuck Koehler we rolled up thirty-seven points, more than making up our loss. Following the rapid succession came Amund¬ sen and Waller. Both met the same fate and went Bert Arnow (B), Bob Beam (B), Dick Berger (B), Ray Berndston (B), Aldo Bizzotto (B), Alex Cichanski (B), J. DeFronzo (B), Ray Ennes (B), George E rath (C), Jack Erickson (E), Jack Fillip (B), Bill Fischer (T), Bob Garcea (T), Norman Grandos (E), Aran Gurunian (B), John Hagen (C), Howard Harding (E), Micheal Harjung (C), Joe Harjung (B), Earl Jaeger (G), Nels Jensen (B), Joe Jurzec (T), Ben Kaasmann (G), Bob Kiselgoff (G), Ray Klitzke (B), Chuck Koehler (B), Ed Kurr (B), Harry Lindberg (E), R. Mochy (G), Bill Oldbrish (G), Larry Piotrowski (T), Conrad Przybylski (E), Harry Reupert (C), Merle Richmond (E), Bill Robertson (G), Tom Scafidi (T), Henry Schanmier (E), Walter Schauer (G), Frank Seyferlich (B), Ray Seyferlich (C), Ray Smith (B), Chuck Steed (E), Chuck Sturtevant (B), Ed Swanson (T), Roger VanWaser (E), Milt Weinberg (G), Harry Bernacchi (T). Page ninety-eight GYMNASTICS Under the able leadership of Coach Klafs, Lane’s gymnastic team, which consists of the Novice, Intermediate, and Championship groups, has a very good chance of taking the city meet which will be held sometime in April. Don Klemp, the captain, and Larry Pauly, the co-captain of the team, along with Jerry Bruck¬ ner, Perry Mohlar, A1 Blau, and Joe Lo Bianco are a few of the returning lettermen who star on the horizontal and parallel bars. Also coming back this year is Irving Bedard, Lane’s star tumbler, who is not only state champ and runner up in the nationals but is also one of the only three persons in the world who can do a two and one half twist. Some of the more or less difficult stunts to perform are the hip circle, reverse giant, half giant, and cross hand uprise. FRESH-SOPH FOOTBALL Page ninty-nine SENIOR BASKETBALL With Coach Umbright starting his twenty-fifth year of coaching, we should have a team this season to live up to the past tradition of qualifying for the playoffs. After all, we have missed only five seasons of not being in the playoffs since Mr. Umbright took the helm in 1919. Unbelievable, but true, a sophomore is the Captain. His name is Bato Goverdarica, a returning letterman at forward. William Haag, starting his second season as a letter- man and in 4B takes care of the center position ably. Harold Karas, also in 4B, makes the trio of lettermen back from last year. His job is at guard. Jim Da¬ vis and Nick Charnota are dependable players on any team, this being Davis’ second year on the quintet and Char- nota’s first. Both 4B’s will complete the current season. A brand new find is Raymond Dankel at center, towering six feet two inches. Unfortunately, Ray is in 4B and will not be back next year. Edward Yung, a capable 3A man, is starting his second season at guard. Jerry Nagel and Arnie Voll- mer, reserve guards, have had previous game experience. Dave Halevy, a navy veteran with an hon¬ orable discharge is now back at his old position of guard. He was with the team of 1942-1943. Dave is now a 4B. JUNIOR BASKETBALL Fully refreshed after being last year’s undisputed North section champ¬ ionship, the ponies will return with five notable lettermen. Co-captains William Charnota and John Kosrow lead the champs. Of the five returning letter- men, three will graduate putting us in a vulnerable position. William Lakin stars at forward with John Kosrow and Arnold Marous the efficient guards. Five guards, William Charnota a 4B along with Ted Mason, a 3A, are ex¬ pected to keep the team in line without faultering. The center spot is taken care of by Don Simon starting his first season as a player, having been team manager last year. Albert Miroo in 4B is start¬ ing his second season and is expected to fill the gap that will be left by Ar¬ nold Marous at guard. Robert Ketter will also furnish ample strength for the team. Bob is a 4B. John Raczka, a 3B, will see much action as indicated in the practice games. Coach Schaefer is enthusiastic over the possibilities he sees in his players. Page one hundred Crew Ice Skating Lane’s junior and senior ice skating teams are preparing for competition this winter; the juniors with hopes of re¬ peating their title win and the seniors with the same idea minus the repeat. Coming back to bolster the strength of the junors will be Lewis Walter who is e.xpected to break the record for the 8:80. Jim Verden, John Yonan, and Richard Lundgoot will aid the returning veterans. Members of the senior squad are; George Astmus, John Alsterda, Richard Kiesel, James E’g, A1 Sturm, AlbertJa- cobzen, Raj ' Stepnanski, Fred Gilbertsen, Edward Dunlap. Just as soon as the ice breaks from the surface of Lin¬ coln Park Lagoon Lane’s crew will start practice for the new season. Our crew is a champion outfit, the juniors winning the city meet six consecutive times while the seniors repeated for five. Graduating this year is Ray Naras, a three year vet¬ eran. Ray Peters, a two year member, and Mort Gomberg, a senior stalwart will also leave via graduation. Most of ehe squad returns in the person of Sant Gosanko, a 4B two year veteran. Bob Wiese, Conrad Pryzbilski 3A, Shwenk, Dunn, Coxwin Harmon Loeb will be an alumni come January. Sport Highlights Page one hundred-one Lane is a large school and has many activi¬ ties. Besides clubs and athletic teams there are many other organizations that have con¬ tributed much toward enriching the school life of Lane students. Some may bear a more serious meaning, but all of them have brought satisfaction. In the contents of the following pages will be found these organ¬ izations and activities. It is hoped that this section will bring back cherished memories and pleasant thoughts in the years to come. r j ANNUAL AND First Row (Left to Right) Sherwin Palmer, Editor-ir.-Chief; Harold Schwennesen, Senior Editor.

The purpose of this book is self-explanatory. The Annual Staff is an organization exclusively for seniors who are interested in contributing their talents to¬ ward the composition of this publication. The young men on the staff of the Annual of January, 1945 have worked earnestly and dili¬ gently to produce a book which will be the pride of every senior. To those students, and to the students who have done such a meritorious job in printing this Annual, belongs much credit. Page One hundred-four PREP STAFF Mr. R. Breeden, Literary The Tech Prep is Lane’s own school maga¬ zine. It contains fiction stories, technical articles, photo-stories, cartoons, and many other items of Mr. J. Anderson, Printing general interest. The excellent quality of its content has gained for the Prep the reputation of being the paramount in student publications. Mr. R. M.

Susat A membership in the Quill and Scroll is not only an honor, but also a step forward in the literary field. The young men who belong to this society are not only able journalists, but also rank very high in their graduating class. Page one hundred-five Mr. Kuecker Sponsor Mrs. Kluge Literary Advisor The Lane Tech Dail y R. Ratza D. Palisoul Editor-in-Chief B. Lefley Managing Editor D. Reimann The Lane Tech Daily is Lane’s most widely known publication. It gives Lane the distinction of being one of the few high schools that has a newspaper which is published daily and is edited and printed by the students. The staff of the Daily is composed of boys who are inter¬ ested in picking up news and having it printed in real newspaper style. Daily reporters must spend much extra time not only in writing up articles but also in digging up news. Athletic and social events that take up much time after school must be covered and reported on by the Another phase of the Daily work is the print¬ ing and publishing. The boys who handle this job, just as in real newspaper work, are the un ¬ sung heros of the press. Page one hundred-six Mask and Shears The Mask and Shears is the oldest and one of the most active of Lane’s extra curricular activities. This organization is composed of young men who are sufficiently interested in dramatics to be willing to spend much of their spare time in rehearsing for the plays which the club puts on each year for the entertainment of the student body. “Arsenic and Old Lace,” the play for the Fall of 1944, was the 75th produc¬ tion of this organization which has been func¬ tioning continuously for 38 years. The Lane Mask and Shears differs from the dramatic societies of other high schools in that its ' casts are composed entirely of boys and as Mr. Thue once put it, “Lane boys make swell girls!” Undoubtedly you can remember such triumphs as “You Can’t Take It With You,” “Mumbo Jumbo,” and “Every Man For Himself,” as well as many other hits which thrilled audiences in past semesters. Much of the credit for the success of these productions goes to Mrs. Weber, the sponsor and dramatic coach, and Miss Popp, who has charge of the costumes. The boys who have taken part in the presentations of this or¬ ganization have certainly contributed much to Lane for the Mask and Shears play is considered to be one of the high spots of each semester. A fellow who has been one of Lane’s outstand¬ ing entertainers is Sidney Grossfeld, better known as “Sid Fields.” He has not only starred in Mask and Shears productions, but has also appeared at dances and other social activities. Sid has been on the professional stage, too, and has traveled with U.S.O. groups to various ser¬ vice camps and hospitals. You can be sure that a bright future in the theatrical business is assured for Lane’s own “Danny Kaye.” Page one hundred-seven Dick ' s Jean Swanny ' s Donnie 81 IKS O.A.O- Jpe ' s Miss Donn Pntrzakte Buds Clem kochan ' s Cutie Wannen s Done Pohiman ' s Pat Palnrxer ' s pet Ji ' m ' s Jean Martyrs ManUyn Johnnie Efleen Ralph ' s Gd 1 kupsche ' s Isabel ' RoyLuiadt s dean Nick ' s Spike Schrxercieir’s Sheppand ' s Lamb Joe ' s O.A.O.j Senior Swing Shots RED CROSS Lane has always had an active chapter in the American Red Cross. Every Lane student is con¬ sidered a member, because part of the division budget money goes into the school’s yearly do¬ nation to the organization. The peace time work of the Red Cross is well-known to all. It gives aid to people left homeless and destitute by floods and other disasters, as well as combating disease and other menaces of poverty-stricken areas of the world. The war has put a tremen¬ dous burden on this organization and when the war broke out Lane thought it should do more for the Red Cross. In February of 1942, only two months after the United States had entered the War, the Lane Red Cross was organized. Under the super¬ vision of teachers qualified by thorough Red Cross training the Lane unit has done things of which the school can be justly proud. Work¬ ing during their study periods the Red Cross members have rolled over 100,000 bandages. Every Tuesday evening the faculty does its share and also rolls bandages. Mr. Heinzelman and his shop students designed and built an ingenious device for tying bandages which is now recog¬ nized and accepted by the National Red Cross The Lane unit has put on various book drives which have netted over 25,000 books for the boys in service. Much is being done to help with the rehabilitation of war veterans by the unit. The Vaughn Hospital is being outfitted with ma¬ terial collected and bought by Laneites. The veterans’ lives are cheered by donations and gifts in the form of presents, novelties, Christ¬ mas trees, and many other articles. Lane students have also donated enough mo¬ ney to purchase four ambulances for the United States. This gesture has brought to Lane the distinction of being the first school in the coun¬ try to present such a large gift to our govern¬ ment. That gift is another example of Lane’s activity in the war. Miss Casey, who has charge of the bandage Oiling, and Miss Mautz, who has charge of the war service, together with all the teachers who assist them should be commended for the mar¬ velous job they are doing. The Lane Red Cross unit is a prime example of Lane’s diligence in the war effort, and its record will never be for¬ gotten.
