A sweet sonata in education is conducted by Mr. Smith who has so ably directed the activities ot Lockport Township High School tor the past twenty-three years. Superinten- dent Smith is well-known in educational circles having been recognized in Who's Who in American Education and Who's Who in the Central States. Mr. Smith prepared for his educational career at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, but his education was in- terrupted When he was called to service in World War I. Upon his return he transfer- red to the University of Chicago Where he continued his education. Recognizing the value ot a practical education, Mr. Smith has travelled extensively throughout the United States. Golf and deep sea fishing are his two favorite hobbies. A note of interest Worth recording is Mr. Smith's recent visit to the United Nations meeting at Lake Success. That was just one of the many interesting sidelights which he enjoyed while attending the annual con- vention oi the American Association ot School Administrators. Proof of his civic pride and community in- terest is evidenced in the tact that he was at one time vice president of the Will Coun- ty Tuberculosis Association, a member of the Board of Governors of the Illinois Asso- ciation for the Crippled, a past president ot the Northeastern Division oi the Illinois Ed- ucation Association, and ot the Will Coun- ty Superintendents' and Principals' Associ- ation. The graduates oi 1948 will remember Mr. Smith as an interested educator who kept Lockport High in tune with the times. Superintendent Iames M. Smith, B. A., M. A. Mr. Marion A. DeSandre, Dr. Ralph B. Harpharri, Mr. Ernest H. Swenson, Dr. Emil I. Viskocil, ' President Edward F. Worst, Superintendent larnes M, Smith, and Secretary Glenn E. Miller discuss Stouthearted Men Behind the scene activities which made Lockport High's melodies harmonious were the functions the Board of Education per- formed. As the planners of our school record album, these men reflected the spirit ot democracy so important in our educational system. The president of our board, Mr. Worst, is a retired instructor of lndustrial Arts. l-le has served on our high school board for eighteen years. Dr. Viskocil, a doctor of Medicine, has served for twelve years. Dr, Harpham, a dentist, has served There Are Smiles That Make Us Happy . . . These are the kind We students rate from our secretaries, Marjorie Frederickson and lane Eungard, when We toe the mark. Erring students know them as human lie detectors. Mimeographing millions of tests, at least they seem that numerous to us, checking at- tendance, handling correspondence, and answering many phone calls are just a fe of the tasks that come their way. E+ for ef ficiency should be recorded on their report cards. M. Frederickson and I. Eungard examine students personnel card. for ten years. Mr. Swenson, who is a building contractor, has been a board member for nine years. And Mr. DeSandre is a machine shop superintendent. For fourteen years he has helped solve our educational problems. Lawyer Miller, a member for twelve years, serves as secretary, As our musical appreciation develops through the years, so has our appreciation increased for these men who have devoted their time and best efforts so willingly. They are all jolly good fellows. An Apple for the Teacher . . . An apple for the teacher will often do the trick, but at Lockport High we found that we also needed to polish the books. Our teachers proved themselves good sports and donated many hours to our ex- tra-curricular activities. Now the needle is in the groove: the Lock staff spins the wax and proudly presents our faculty and friends. Daymond I. Aiken CB.A., MSD, one of our teacher-authors, directed the student coun- cil in addition to helping us know our fig- ures in his Algebra I and ll, geometry, trig- onometry, and physics classes. Cur reward for a problem correctly solved was, That's just slick. We all love to drive the family car, and Howard T. Binstock CB.S.l, a newcomer to the faculty this year, taught us how to keep 'em rolling in his auto mechanics classes. With his general science, biology, and chemistry classes, Clinton O. Bismarck CB. AJ, is just Bizzy. School pranksters know well the meaning of his ninth hour classes. An appreciation for the higher things in life was gained after our four story climb to the Art I and ll, art appreciation, home liv- ing, and interior decorating classes of Cath- erine I. Bottino CB.S., A.S.D. To the band, chorus, and orchestra Ernest O. Caneva CB.A.l is known as Ernie. Lock- port l-ligh knows him as a music maestro who always conducts a winner with our high school band. We know his bark is worse than his bite, but we also know that Baymond Cher- ry's CB.S., lVi.A.J metal shop means good hard work. Combining business with his hobby, he introduced a new plastics course. TOP ROW: Mr. Aiken explains the nature of x-ray tubes to Iohn Gannaway. Louis Hudek and Mr. Binstock take a minute off from engine repairs. Douglas Smith calculates weights as Mr. Bismarck supervises. SECOND ROWY Mrs. Bottino demonstrates art of shading to Ierry Allen. Mr, Caneva counts time for Anna Larson. lim Montgomery learns operation of belt sander from Mr. Cherry. Plorice Cherry CB.A.l teaches us that the United States is a grand place to live in her American and world history classes. Her frequent quizzes keep us on our toes. For our second term lessie Eggman CB.A.l, a neighbor from Ioliet, taught us the prac- tical side of maintaining a home in her food classes. The latest in new spring outfits were the efforts of her costume design and cloth- ing classes. Manana may have been on the hit parade, but it was no excuse in Lucile Em- mon's CPh.B., M.A.D Spanish or French class- es. American literature was her specialty in the English field. CNot photographedl. Edward Elink's CB.A., M.A.l civics and economic classes gave future Senator Clag- horns a chance in senate classroom ses- sions. As our dean of boys he coped with problem children. As director of athletics he arranged the sports activities of the school. Even though this should have kept him busy, he conducted a water safety class after school. Alice Gleason CB.S.l, better known to us as Miss Duggan, took her sophomore histo- ry class globe trotting, and her senior Eng- lish class did a little imaginary travelling as they studied modern literature. Her fresh- man classes concentrated on reading and writing. Helping the Lock literary staff to develop a flair for writing plus co-sponsor- ing the Iunior Red Cross kept her busy. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Lorina Goerz CB.A., Ph.M.l really threw life ropes to many of us in algebra and geome- try. Teaching general science and co-spon- soring the lunior Bed Cross made spare time an unknown quantity to her. What would our future l-lepburns and Barrymores do without the assistance of Al- ex L. Iohnsonius CB.A., M.A.l in the class plays? Latin is not a dead language when he teaches it. His interesting anecdotes and stories in world history added a pleasant note to many of our sophomore years. TOP: Mrs. Cherry locates an historical city for Chuckie Aumiller. Isabel Grepares receives sewing machine instructions from Mrs. Eggman. Mr. Flink explains an economic theory to Bob Pesavento. BOTTOM: Mrs. Gleason and Gilbert Schade relax for a moment during a make-up period. Miss Goerz explains a complicated geometric problem to Mary Boehme. Mr. Iohnsonius translates a Latin passage for Iohnny Bachmann-or is it Greek? Beside Us to Guide Us . . . She's our type -ing teacher, and sten- ography and secretarial practice take up her school hours. Friday nights quite regularly found her sponsoring school dances. Her in- genuity has helped us to produce prize win- ning Locks for the past three years. At station LOCK we don't even have to men- tion her name, but for the newcomers who may have just tuned in, it's Mildred Krusa CB.E.l, of course. When Coach Lindberg explains pigskin plays, it is a case of do as I do, for during his college days, he was a fightin' lllini star. Adolescent Charles Atlases build their muscles in his physical education classes. A well-known figure on the campus is El- mer, the physiology dummy, whom he in- troduces to the freshmen. His best known alias is Moose, but Curly is a reliable substitute. Caring for the sick is one of the practical courses in our curriculum which smiling Mary Cf. Mahoney tR.N.l so pleasantly teaches. Once in a While we'll give her a thought in future years as we raise our families. Pep personifies Eva M. Olson CB.A.l in her girls' physical training classes. lf mermaids are no longer a novelty at Lockport High, it is due to her instructions. A lover of sports, she has conveyed this enthusiasm to many of us with well-planned G.A.A. activities. As dean of girls she deals with the ques- tions of feminine rights. Beware the dangers of the split infinitive and prepare to suffer the tragedy of Ham- let as you enter Iohn L. Pence's tB.A.l jun- ior and senior English classes. Future journ- alists gain practical experience as he di- rects their activities in the publication of The Times. TOP: Miss Krusa reviews typing technique with Arlene Schultz. lrvin Sudbury climbs the rope while Coach Lindberg supervises. Lucy Vallera and Mrs. Mahoney review fundamentals of first aid. BOTTOM: Stella Alberico receives instructions in basketball scoring from Miss Olson. Mr. Pence explains a grammatical construction to Margaret Blechschmidt. Russell Young learns the correct grip from Coach Rogers. l School can be pleasant if you are in Frank l. Rogers' CB.S., M.S.l world history or physi- cal training classes. His friendly smile is a handshake. An ex-army captain, he has no trouble keeping the boys in line. Besides he gets plenty of homework with those two husky sons of his. As we timidly entered the library as fresh- men, Margaret C. Shepherd kept us from developing a library psychosis as she pa- tiently helped us locate the books. She and Thackeray agree that Man's best friends are books. The Woodpeckers at Lockport High just peck out their melodies in William H. Sterling's CBS., M.S.l wood shop classes. ln A Little Book Shop he spends many extra hours supplying student and faculty needs. Students soon learn that his name fits his character. The best modern techniques are employ- ed by Margaret L. Taylor CB,S.D in her fresh- man and sophomore English classes. She spun the platter for us many times with re- cordings of popular American folk songs, Orson Welles' Iulius Caesar, and other classic recordings. Under her guidance the juniors gave a much talked about prom. lust listing Paul White's CB.S., M.A.l class- es prove he's a busy man. Civics, econom- ics, business training, bookkeeping, com- mercial law, and commercial arithmetic take up his teaching hours. Sparks flew as Crris S. Young CB.S., B.A., M.A.l taught our boys the fundamentals of electricity. Mechanical drawing is another of his specialties. His initials form his nick- name Osy. Gleadis Young CB.S.J brought to us the practical experience which she had gained as a home maker when she joined our facul- ty for the first semester to teach the domes- tic science classes. Her girls missed her cheery ways when she returned to inactive duty the second semester. And now the teachers doff their academic caps and prepare for those soothing sum- mer days during which patience aplenty is stored up for Lockport High's new crop. And so the old professors sign off until station FALL checks them in again in September. TOP HOW: Miss Shepherd checks out a book for Bob Shoop. Robert Carver observes Mr. Ster- ling's technique in jigsaw operation. Miss Taylor plays American Folk Ballads on phonograph for Robert Moraski. SECOND ROW: Mr, White checks Claritta Rutkiewicz's trial balance. Mr. Young demonstrates reversing switch to lohn Reed. Alma Barnes and Mrs. Young experiment with a new recipe. Senior Officers Don Carollo, Secretary: Estelle Shepherd, Vice Presidentg Ray Darin, Treasurerg jerry Norton, President. School Days, School Days . . Last fall found many of our seniors hum- ming This ls the Beginning of the End, and memories of that fine September day in 1944 when one hundred and f ifty-five Small Fry began their high school careers were revived. A mock convention in which Presi- dent Roosevelt was elected for the fourth term highlighted the activities of that year. In local elections Tad LaBahn led the ticket as president with Don Waldvogel as vice president. Patsy Pickett as treasurer and Don l-luising as secretary assisted them cap- ably. Another year and we were grown-up soph- omores. With our fingers in a few more ac- tivities we survived the growing pains of this difficult year to emerge as important upper-classmen. President Ben Shulla, Vice President Clarice Reed, Secretary Robert Nordenberg, and Treasurer Ray Darin were our officers. Local audiences roared at our junior play, A Date With Iudy. And the seniors were the first to admit that our Mystic Moon Prom was the tops. President Don Huising, Vice President Carl Muehlbauer, Secretary Don Waldvogel, and Treasurer Thomas Fla- vin saw to it that the luniors were not un- known. This was the year we selected our class rings. We finally made it. September l947 and we were seniors. With poise and efficiency we accepted the responsibilities of our new role. The Times and The Lock received our best efforts and contributions. We danced at the Iunior Red Cross formal and reminisced with the juniors at the Meme ories Prom. We played hard at our class picnic at Pottawatomie Park in St. Charles. We sang from our hearts in the operetta ln Grand Old Switzerland. With the strains of lune Comes Around Every Year we realized that for many of us our school days were no more. President Ierry Norton, Vice President Es- telle Shepherd, Secretary Don Carollo, and Treasurer Ray Darin spun the records for our graduating class, and as we listened to the familiar strains drifting from the luke box, memories of our past years added a little sadness at the thought of leaving. As the strains of Pomp and Circumstanceu filled the gymnasium, the last record of four suc- cessful high school years was added to the class album of 1948. Senior Honors . . TOP Y ACTTVITY: Don Huising and Ruth Biorlcman discuss activities of the past. Be- cause they were leaders in so many ot our school activities even while they maintain- ed high averages, the faculty voted them the winners ot the activity award. ATHLET- TCS: Ben Shulla takes inventory ot his much- used equipment. Having been one of Lock- port High's best basketball players ior the past tour years would have merited him the athletic award. However, he was also a good baseball player and iootball star. BOTTOM-SCHOLARSHIP: Marilyn Mor- gan brings out a point oi interest to lane Skeldon. Topping the list oi graduates as scholarsg lane became valedictorian and Marilyn became salutatorian. SCIENCE: Dan Shoop smiles at the results of his micro- scopic inspection. Perhaps another Einstein will emerge from him whom the science teachers voted most deserving of the science award. Senior Honors . TOP - NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLAR- SI-IIP SOCIETY: Admiring the baseball trophies which they helped Win are Ctront rowl Harry Meurer, Ray Darin, lerry Nor- ton, Don Carollo, Ronald Iohnson, Csecond row? Lee Bowersox, Don Waldvogel, Don Huising, Fred Beck, and Dan Shoop. Hav- ing earned an athletic letter and having maintained a scholastic average equal to or above the general average ot the school for three consecutive semesters, these boys were eligible for membership in the Nation- al Athletic Scholarship Society. They were nominated by the coaches tor citizenship as well as sportsmanship. BOTTOM-D.A.R.: lane Skeldon. Dependability, service, lead- ership, and patriotism are the qualitie s which lane had to possess to merit the D.A.R. award. She was one of three stu- dents chosen by the students and was tinal- ly selected by the faculty. PERFECT AT- TENDANCE: Time Waits for No One is the theme song ot Tom Plavin, Lavergne Ri- goni, Norbert Strong, Anita Bachmann, Iohn Likar, and lim Corniels, observers of the hour as well as the day. There were no ten o'clock scholars in this group who had per- fect attendance for the past four years. Never a day Went by that they couldn't have been found at their desks. You're the Tops National Honor Society Once more the familiar gold medal oi the National Honor Society is proudly Worn by the seniors Whom the taculty honored for their scholarship, service, character, and leadership. Fifteen per cent oi the total graduates ranking in the upper third ot the class were elected. Quill and Scroll l Could Write A Sonnet, at least that was what Mr. Pence and Miss Krusa thought ot the seniors granted this award. Only members ot The Times and the Lock who ranked in the upper third of the class were eligible. Recommendations of the sponsors were based on superior Work in writing, editing, and business management. TOP-NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY-FRONT ROW: D. Huising, C. Reeves, M. Morgan, D. Shoop, I.

Since they were in charge of student government, theirs was the difficult task of selecting and correctly classifying the sun- dry records which composed the album of the school year. This body was made up of representa- tives from each homeroom plus the heads of the main organizations of the school. Mr. Aiken acted as faculty adviser. Our coun- cil was also a member of the South Subur- ban Congress, a league composed of the councils of the various schools in the sur- rounding area. Most of the projects which our council undertook were concerned with welfare campaigns such as the tuberculosis and cancer drives. The outstanding project of the year was the collection taken up for CARE. This was part of the Adopt a School in Eu- rope plan. As the records of the year were checked and filed, the council representatives re- laxed knowing that the student records were free from friction, static, and harsh notes. SEATED: M.

Friendship, Friendship . . . With wartime activities no longer requir- ing the help of our Iunior Red Cross, the members' thoughts were turned to means of promoting friendship among school chil- dren all over the world. Of course, there were still the programs and nut cups to be provided for the veterans in the hospitals. President PSQVQIY Warren and Secretary lean Miller conducted the meetings like vet- erans, and Darwin Cowan saw to it that there were programs at all the athletic events. Sending Christmas boxes overseas was just one of their ways of showing chil- dren across the sea that America cared. Vice President Estelle Shepherd gave vent to her artistic tendencies, and another suc- cessful Red Cross formal was held in the fall Betty Hoehn sat in the counting house counting up the money.

Last fall the Lock staff of 1948 swung the needle into place and prepared to put in wax the records of the year. Miss Krusa and her staff kept the camera eye focused on all the activities of the seasons. Under the direction of Mrs. Gleason the literary staff wrote and proofread reams of material. And when the last note had been recorded, only then did the staff realize the amount of work required in compiling a yearbook.

I Aimin' for Entertainin' . . . lt the old adage All work and no play makes lack a dull boy were true, the Lit- erary Society was careful to see that Lock- port High had no dull boys or girls. Through careful selections they provided the students with entertaining and educational assem- bly programs. A variety oi selections brought us the Howells, famous international glass blowers, a meeting with Nutchuk, an Eskimo musician and author, and lames Dutton, art- ist and teacher, who entertained with mar- imba selections irom the works ot Chopin, Bach, Brahms, Mendelssohn and timely pop- ular selections. The always popular magic and ventriloquism acts were presented by Mr. Loring and Kathryne Campbell.

What's Cookin', Cookie? . . . The rush hour at L.T.H.S. began at 12:15 P.M. when Iames Kegley and Loren Hum- phrey directed traffic into the cafeteria. No one slipped by the eagle eye of ticket taker, Bay Darin. The students welcomed back our able cooks, Mrs. lohnson and Mrs. Woock, and no one complained of any serious after effects of samples from the cooking classes. Keeping things moving with assembly line precision and speed, Shirley Shipp, Gertrude Pehland, Frances Mescher, Mary Pesavento, Cordelia Flores and Arlene Beiter, neverthe- less, managed to serve attractive trays. The faculty voted Don Huising Waiter of the Year for his excellent service. Law and or- der Were maintained by the outdoor and cafeteria committees. Strains of the Happy Birthday Song were heard frequently as another successful year passed. Dena Zigrossi, Serena Etchison, Lucy Val- lera, Mary DeAngelis, Marilyn Bigoni, Marie Crnkovic, Doris Colevin, Helen Becker, and Betty Fitzgerald relax after serving the Football Banquet. . You Ccm't Beat Turkey in the Straw, By-crackey . . . A few of the old-timers would have a hard time convincing the Quarterback Club of that, particularly after the night of Novem- ber 10, 1947, when the players and their guests met at the annual football banquet. Turkey was the order of the day and plenty of it. The banquet was held in the school cafeteria with the help of Mrs. Young, her cooking classes, and the boys themselves who blinded a few spuds by removing their eyes. Coach Lindberg used his navy experience in shaping up his crew, and be- lieve it or not, our rough and tough football players even turned artistic with their table decorations. Toastmaster Edward Flink kept the ball in the air, While the president of the Quarter- back Club, Ben Shulla, with loseph Fitz- gerald, the representative of the fathers, and the other important speakers were lined up at the speaker's table. Big Red Grange was the sport's highlight of the day. At halt- time Coach Lindberg and Coach Rogers awarded the football letters, and after that night we noticed many of our boys and their favorite girls sporting these awards. The final whistle was blown after the players and their guests had seen the movies of the Michigan vs. lllinois game of 1946. i Q f TOP: Mrs. and Mr. Smith applaud Mr. Worst While the Canevas, Master of Ceremonies Aiken, and Clare Reeves, band president, listen.

A Knife, a Fork and a Spoon . . . lust a little tired of playing while others ate, our band decided to sponsor a banquet this year and get their just desserts. And even Emily Post couldn't have done a better job with the arrangements. All band Xmem- bers and their parents were automatically on the guest list. President Clare Reeves and his band members had as their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. Houseknecht, the director of the famous Ioliet High School Band, his wife, Reverend Bengston, and the faculty chairmen ot the various classes. Mr. Aikerfs dry wit kept the guests amus- ed while they waited tor the Turkey Trot, and Mr. Caneva sat back and let someone else play the director. Patsy Pickett was thrilled when she became the winner of the radio, the door prize tor the evening. Mrs. Young and her cooking classes help- ed once more, and this time they served food for the champions. After a pleasant evening of songs, the band members Went home to let another pleasant memory linger awhile. f-K -C With a Song in Their Hearts . . . SIC W Poor Iohnny One Note had no place in Mr. Caneva's chorus. Always busy with new and original programs the members devoted part ot their lunch period and after school hours to practicing. ln addition to the Christmas concert the chorus presented the operetta ln Grand Old Switzerland. Pres- ident Iane Skeldon, Vice President George Woock, Secretary Sara Bini, and Treasurer Lorina Hosbach arranged the chorus par- ties besides their otficial duties. ACCOMPANIST: M. Caneva, Within the chorus there were two smaller groups, a sextette and a trio. The members ot the sextette were Marilyn Morgan, La- vergne Bigoni, Ruth Bjorkman, Estelle Shep- herd, Iane Skeldon, and Betty Iean Warn- ick. Bivalling the Andrew sisters with their trio renditions were Betty Iean Warnick, Buth Bjorkman, and Levergne Bigoni. These groups rated number one on the local hit parade. FRGNT ROW: E. Gutierrez, S.

On the nights of March 18 and 19 the operetta, In Grand Old Switzerland, was presented through the combined efforts of the chorus, band, and orchestra. With Mr. Caneva waving the baton the musical was destined for success from its very beginning. Mid the setting of the Alps, Herr Nops and Herr Bolliger, two old men, be- came the rivals for the hand of an American tourist, Mrs. Miller. The children of the rivals were in love, but the rivalry of their fathers presented all kinds of obstacles. Through a plan which Mrs. Miller, her two children, and the two Swiss children hatched, the two men finally regained their amiable disposi- tions and their friendship. Herr Bolliger - G. Woock.

There is really a hot time in the small village just north of the Ozarks when Silas Smidge from County Clay in loway tries to remove discord from Harmony Iunction.

If I Only Had cr Match One of the rnost important functions of the Quarterback Club, which was composed of the varsity football players, was per- formed by their own Board of Control. This group worked towards maintaining good sportsmanship and seeing that the boys lived up to the athletic rules. Sponsoring post game dances for the funds for the an- nual football banquet was one of their major activities. Every player on the squad was proud to be a member of this club. With Ben Shulla as their leader, the club was an important factor in maintaining dis- cipline on athletic trips. Keep up the good work, boys. QUARTERBACK CLUB- FRONT ROW: D. Blish, R. Holden, T.

Playing many of the teams which the varsity squad met, they ended up the sea- son with a record of two victories, three defeats, and one tied score. The Meurers made it pretty much of a family affair when Bill Meurer became captain and Iohn Ed was elected the most valuable player at the end of the season. At the end of the season letters were awarded by Coach Rogers to the following: A. Artisuk, I. Bachmann, D. Blaesing, I. But- ler, A. Burcenski, I. Eaker, R. Ferguson, I. Fitzgerald, L. Grant, I.

Elmo Petro slips by one mari as Ray Pesavento, Loren Humphrey, and Bill Colonna begin to line interference. LOCKPORT 20 BRADLEY 0 Our Oilmen defeated a weak Bradley team in their first home game. Coach Lind- berg started his second string, but our regu- lars, Lane, Petro, and Waldvogel chalked up the scores while Shulla dropped the placements. LOCKPORT 19 PULLMAN TECH 7 Scoring another hit Lockport dropped Pull- man Tech from the undefeated ranks by handing them a l9-7 defeat at the Athletic Field. Pluth started the Porter scoring with a completed pass from Shulla to success- fully clinch an 80 yard play. Lane and Petro crossed the goal line for two Porter touch- downs, and Shulla kicked the extra point. LOCKPORT 26 LEMONT 0 The Maroons crushed their neighboring rivals in the dedication game at the newly enlarged and lighted Lemont field. Hard driving halfbacks, Petro and Lane, were supported by the teamwork of Gulden, Huis- ing, and Pluth. Once more the Porters left the field undefeated. LOCKPORT 7 MORGAN PARK 7 Both teams boasting undefeated seasons met on the Lockport gridiron. The Cadets and Porters fought hard, and Boss finally scored on a pass from Shulla. The hard work of Rodeghero, Klainsek, Holden, and Weatherford kept the final score tied at 7. LOCKPORT 0 HINSDALE 32 Hinsdale's strong eleven, avenging a 46-6 swamping handed to them by the Maroons in '46, conquered the Porters to end our sea-- son with a sour note. Tough luck, boys.

The Big Five , I-luising, Shulla, Petro, Humphrey, and Pluth, helped to ring up a victory against Ioliet, to upset Cal City in the first game ot the tournament play-oft, and accepted vic- tory and defeat with equally good sports- manship. Our team played a total of 23 games Win- ning ll and dropping l2 to their opponents. Local fans still had their keen enthusiasm tor basketball at the close of the season. The thrill ot the season came when the Big Five , without substitution, defeated loliet 33 to 32 on the home floor. In the South Sub- urban league the Porters won 4 games and lost 6. Their non-conference opponents were: St. Charles, Mooseheart, East Aurora, Ioliet, Le- mont, Downers Grove, Alumni, Morgan Park Military Academy, and Harvey. ln addition they played in the Calumet City Christmas Tournament and the State Regional Tour- nament. At the end of the season the team voted Don Huising, honorary captain, and Ben Shulla, most valuable player.

Always a Winnin', Always a Grinnin' . Last fall Coach Rogers had the difficult task of assembling a squad without any returning lettermen. With the help of boys who had had plenty of experience in grade school and with an abundance of hard work, a winning combination was finally found.

Entering in the South Suburban league conference, they came out with second place honors. Up until the last league game the quintet rested in first place. But the Bloom Trojans copped the title in a very close game with a score of 34 to 30. Having worked hard to develop a fine squad, Coach Rogers ended up the season singing, lf I Should Lose You.

Hardwood Scopes Lockport's hard fighting Porters set back the highly favored Ioliet Steelrnen by a close one point margin 33-32. The Oilmen showed superior tight and rebounding abil- ity as led by Elmo Petro. Under the back boards the rnuch smaller Lockport tive grabbed the majority of rebounds.

There may have been gloom in Mudville when the mighty Casey struck out, but Coach Flink hopes to dispel all Lockport's fears and gloom with his five returning let- ter men from last year's squad plus the many enthusiastic players eager to suit up. So far the weatherman has proved the team's worst rival. As the Lock goes to press, we'll root, root for the home team and if they don't win it's a shame.

Twenty-four Lockport High students found that they were really in the swim when they enrolled in the life-saving course sponsored by the American Bed Cross and conducted by Mr. Flink. Swimming ten lengths of the pool was not the greatest requirement. These mermaids and mermen had to know blocks, releases, grips, carries, surface dives, and how to disrobe in deep water. They were taught to exercise common sense in choos- ing the time and place for a swim. Our fine pool could not be used for a more practical purpose than the teaching of water safety. American Bed Cross Life Saving Certifi- cates were awarded after the successful completion of the course.

But that neglects the large field of intramural sports Where our boys had the chance to compete with their classmates. ln these games they learned the rules of good sportsmanship, an essential quality for an admirable athlete. With over lUO boys giving up part of their lunch hour to play basketball, the halls were never quiet. Lockport's own Whiz Kids copped the basketball trophy chalk- ing up one more honor for the senior class.

The Girls Athletic Association was one of the most important activities of our school. Volleyball, bowling, tumbling, swimming, golf, and basket shooting added many hours ot fun to our school days. Since competition helps to keep the ball rolling, the girls en- tered into telegraphic bowling and basket shooting tournaments. And class rivalry ran wild with the inter-class meets. Ruth Bjork- man succeeded her sister as president and did a mighty fine job. Once again the G. A. A. held open house for the mothers, and then the girls had a chance to put their Wares on exhibition. With after school parties adding to the fun, the G.A.A. was never at a loss for new members. Miss Olson sponsored the organ- ization and helped to develop a love of sports and good sportsmanship.
