A major addition, constructed in 1930, included the gymnasium, with a seating capacity of 1600, and the trophy room. Highest standards were met when, in 1941, our swimming pool was opened. Our increasing population again necessitates a larger building. Because of the foresightedness of the original planner and the many modern additions, we have one of the finest school buildings in the state. Indeed, we are proud of our school.

COMPLETING his twenty-hfth year at Lockport Township High School, Super- intendent james M. Smith has established an enviable record characterized by efficiency and prudence. Since becoming superintendent, Mr. Smith has promoted vast improvements in our school, such as the organization of the National Honor Society, the National Athletic Scholarship Society, the Timer, the Lock, the Athletic Board of Control, and the development of an excellent modern curriculum which has placed Lockport Town- ship High School among the outstanding high schools in the state. The curriculum insures the best possible education for all students, not only for those who atrend college but also for those who seek employment. The enrollment has increased from 229 in 1925, to 622 in 1950. The larger part of the present building, including the gymnasium, was added in 1950, and the swimming pool was completed in 1941. Our superintendent is a past president of the Northeastern Division of the Illinois Education Association, and of the Will County Superintendents' and Principals, Association. He is also a member of the Board of Governors of the Illinois Associa- tion for the Crippled, and the first vice-president of the Will County Tuberculosis Association. Having been so active in Illinois education, Mr. Smith has received the honor of being included in Whos Who in American Education, Who's Who in the Central Statesj' and Who's Who in Illinois. Recently he was appointed to the Lewis College Board of Advisors, and to the Silver Cross Hospital Board of Trustees. Surely, for this unique record, Mr. Smith has earned from us the heartiest of congratulations on his Silver Anniversary. To him we proudly dedicate this, the twenty- Hfth edition of the Lock. - Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition . . . 1925-1950 Miss Mildred H.

As this year progressed, we, the members of the Lock staff, learned to develop our skills in the compiling of our yearbook, the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition, just as previous staffs did in their editions. It is only through experience that one fully appreciates the efforts entailed in the editing of an annual. The Lock was begun by the Class of 1925- 1926. The first eleven annuals were sponsored by Miss Elsie H. Bucher, the next nine by james M. Stephenson, who is now the yearbook photog- rapher, and the last four by the present sponsor, Miss Mildred H. Krusa. Much progress has been made in succeeding issues in the past twenty-five years. Lockport High's first annual was a paper- backed book of seventy-two literary and pictorial pages, and twenty-three pages of advertisements and witticisms. It was financed mainly by proceeds from the senior play, by showing movies in the auditorium, by advertisements, and by yearbook subscriptions. Its staff included sixteen seniors, a junior, a sophomore, and a freshman, with Cora Ernst CWinstonD as editor-in-chief, assisted by Elda Trask and August Lund. Florence Seaborg CLundJ was the business manager. This year's annual was financed mainly by subscriptions, school dances, proceeds from a product. David Briick, Evelyn Pesavento, Signa Met- tille, Norma Willielmi, and Circulation Chairman Richard Eichhorn are ready to promote sales. Mary coke machine, and by an allotment set aside by our Board of Education to eliminate book advertis- ing. Anne Brankey and Carolyn Winkler were co-editors of our staff of twenty-nine members, which included twenty-four seniors, four juniors, and one sophomore. Barbara Cronholm and Miss Marilyn R. Richards served as business manager and literary assistant, respectively. For the past several years, the Lock has won national honors in yearbook contests. Included have been two Medalists and one All Ameri- can, the highest honors available. We take great pride in presenting this Silver Anniversary Edition in which we have por- trayed the progress of our school during the past quarter century, and recorded the life and activities of the Lockport Township High School student. To the following people, who aided us by lending us pictures, we wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation: Mr. and Mrs. August Lund, Miss Willa Collett, Miss Elda Trask, Mrs. Elizabeth Troxell, Martin W. Taylor, Miss Margaret C. Shepherd, Superintendent james M. Smith, Clinton O. Bismarck, William H. Sterling, and Lester L. Lindberg. We also thank our spon- sors, Harrington Studio, the Pontiac Engraving and Electrotype Company, the S. K. Smith Cover Company, and The Ogren Press for their coopera- tion and interest in this publication. Ann Viskocil, Marjorie Kesser, Chairman Marie Pleski, and Roberta Martin, copywriters, playfully copy by pen instead of by typewriter during a lull. 010: THE PEGPLE Among the people in this section that we proudly honor are Clinton O. Bismarck, Margaret C. Shepherd, and William H. Sterling. Mr. Bismarck and Mr. Sterling, science and industrial arts instructors, respectively, have been capable members of our faculty for the past twenty-eight years. Miss Shepherd holds a fine record of twenty-five years of service as our librarian. As many things advance through the years, so also have our student enrollment and faculty personnel. The latter has increased from sixteen in 1925, to twenty-six in 1950. Our student enrollment has almost tripled from the 229 in 1925, to our present 622. 0 ADMINISTRATION 0 FACULTY 0 ANNIVERSARY GRADUATES o SENIORS 0 HONORS 0 JUNIORS 0 SOPHOMORES 0 FRESHMEN Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition e 11' ADMINISTRATION W Superintendent James M. Smith, B.A., M.A. V- Mr. Smith, in 1925 Our Superintendent Speaks . . . We are witnessing the dawning of a new era in history-the era of the atom. It can be an era of great advancement with untold blessings for mankind, or it can be an era of mass destruction. What it will be will depend largely upon the kind of education we give to the youth of our day. The primary purpose of education in our school is to train all pupils to be good citizens. 0120 Our children are our greatest national asset. What America will be tomorrow depends largely upon the type of training our young people receive today. It must be a training that recognizes the worth and dignity of the individualg it must be a training that is mentally, morally, spiritually, and physically soundg it must be an education that seeks the highest good for all. This is our task. Now That I Neecl You . . . The necessity of a properly functioning ollice was capably iilled by our friendly and eflicient secretaries, Miss Marjorie A. Fredrickson and Miss Jane A. Eungatd. In 1925 Miss Edith Ostrom performed the many office duties. SECRETARIES: Miss jane A. Eungard operates the ditto machine while Miss Marjorie A. Fredrickson refers to the files. Civic Leaders Plan School Policies . The Board of Education, headed by Marion M. DeSandre, has indeed been a board of planning this year. As the policy i makers of our school, they have had numerous duties to perform, many of which pertained to a new addition to our building. In 1925, as today, our school board was composed of six of the city's civic-minded leaders. The members were President Herbert A. Godfrey, Murray A. Ladd, joseph Hyland, Dr. Leonard F. Roblee, Gilbert Pierce, and Secretary William W. 4 North. The only other board member to serve as president during the past twenty-five years was Edward F. Worst. Then, as now, acting as guardians of our school, these men supervised Edward F.

Yes, under the supervision of Mrs. Marion K. Morrison, many girls learned to prepare delicious well- balanced meals. Not only practical things were done, but also cookies and other such delicacies were per- fected. If these girls learned their lessons well, there will be no need for baking soda or Tums. They are on the road to being good cooks. In personal grooming, directed by Mrs. Morrison, girls studied ap- propriate costumes for an individual, proper make-up, attractive styles, speech, and correct walking, plus other things which will help to make them more attractive. Is it any wonder that we have so many lovely girls at L.T.H.S.? Family living, a new class for senior girls, was added to the de- partment this year. This course taught the girls necessary things about the care of the home that a future housewife and mother should know. v Prom Top: Frances Mescher pins a hem for Alice Palmer.

Chemistry students gained ex- perience in the laboratory as they performed numerous experiments under Mr. Bismarclds watchful eye. Many odd smells that filled the school halls can be blamed on this class. Light, sound, and physical laws of nature were just a few of the things taught in the physics class by Mr. Aiken. Although they haven't experimented with the atomic bomb, the class learned many important and interesting facts concerninghnu- clear physics. In the mathematics depart- ment, freshmen prepared themselves for advanced mathematics by study- ing general mathematics under Miss Goerz and algebra under the instruc- tion of Miss Goetz and Mr Aiken. Plane. geometry, advanced algebra, and solid geometry were taken by hopeful mathematicians who worked with logarithms, cylinders, calculus, and parabolas. These classes were under the capable direction of Mr. Aiken who has recently had his own algebra book and charts published. The latter are used in many schools, including our own. Miss Lorina E.

Fine Arts Everyday Beauty Is the Modern Theme . . . Culture and beauty was the theme of the teachers in the fine arts department as they tried to instill some of the beauty of these subjects into the everyday lives of the students. Colorful posters, announcing special events, were only one of the many projects undertaken by the art classes. They painted many lovely pictures and, although they were not all outstanding, the students received much enjoyment from doing them. Crafts students worked with leather, metal, and clay, while those interested in correct color schemes and proper furniture for the home, took interior decorating. All of these fascinating under- takings were carried on under the watchful eye of Mrs. Margaret S. Mitzit, head of the art department. Muriel Foster displays her talents with a baritone. Nancy Ogren proves that she, too, can be a Hoagy Carmichael. 018s I I Music, music, music, under the direction of Ernest O. Caneva, added much life to many school affairs. The regular band practice every eighth period kept the members in good playing condition for all of the basketball and football games, not to mention the various other activities at which their music was enjoyed. Every noon hour found many music lovers gathered in the audi- torium ready to sacrifice part of their lunch hour for chorus practice, No wonder we have such a fine music department! Miss Lucile Emmons proved that foreign languages are very interesting by teaching the students to read and translate Spanish. High- lights were added to this class in the form of Spanish newspapers and films. Some members of the class also received a better under- standing of the language and of the lives of the people by corres- ponding with them in Spanish. An important place in the language department was held by Mr. Alex L. Johnsonius's Latin classes-or so the Latin students thought as they spent many hours trying to translate Julius Caesar.

They can be blamed on Miss Eva M. Olson, Frank 1. Rogers, and Lester L. Lindberg who head our physical education department. All sorts of recreation in the gym classes taught the students that they could have fun in a wholesome Way. Miss Olson taught the girls calisthenics, ballroom and square dancing, volley- ball, basketball, swimming, and basket shooting. The boys played football, basketball, baseball, and volleyball under the supervision of Mr. Rogers and Mr. Lindberg. They also swam and performed more advanced calisthenics. All these activities add up to not only muscles but to the healthy. happy students of L.T.H.S. '21 Top: The fundamentals of the adding machine are learned by Mildred Scogin and Beatrice Smullen.

Commerce and Social Science Preparing for the Future . . Typing shorthand secremrial ractice, book , 1 , L p . - keeping, business training, commercial geography, and salesmanship were the courses taken by future secretaries, typists, and accounting experts. These business-minded people spent many hours Hguring balance sheets, studying exports and imports, and building speed in typing so as to attain the expert 0220 level of businessmen. Under the guiding hand of Miss Mildred H. Krusa, Miss Marilyn R. Richards, and Paul E. White, the training and development along these lines made out students stiff competition to others as they entered the business world to make a success of themselves.

It not only gave our students the background for their future reading and understanding by opening a whole realm of facts about ancient and modern civilization, but it also taught them many things about our forefathers and democracy. Edward Flink and Mr. Wliite proved to be excellent referees in the hery arguments which were carried on in civics and economics classes. Future lawyers were given many opportunities to prove their point in the debates, while many students found themselves wanting to be senators and representatives as the mock congress went to session.

Industrial Arts Handy Men in the Making . A very fascinating part of our school is the industrial arts department, which turns out many future carpenters, mechanics, electricians, and metal workers. Wood shop, under the supervision of William H. Sterling, not only taught the student to make many handy articles of wood, but at times served as a repair shop for broken school items. Common construction problems in metal work were thought out by the boys taking metal shop under Raymond Cherry. The uses of many common tools and machines were learned along with the proper way in which to handle materials. i240 The development of an interesting hobby, along with worth while and profitable information, was gained in Mr. Cherry's plastic class this last year. They learned how to use and care for the different types of plastics which are found in the home. Much of this information will be used when their school days are over. Students in Ortis S. Youngs electric shop were given many practical examples along with their class discussion. They wired bell circuits, telegraph and telephone circuits, and practiced simple house wiring. CNo need to call an elec- trician when one of these boys is around.J Top: Norman and Richard Janovsliy put the finishing touches on plastic ear- rings. Howard Young, Bennie Weltei', Earl Morris, and Raymond Bell look for a flaw in an automobile engine. In mechanical drawing, taught by Mr. Young, much time was spent in drawing and appraising objects. There will be no speeding tickets given to the boys in auto shop, for they have learned the Illinois Driving rules or so the instructor, David B. Easson, hopes. The fundamentals of the automo- bile, and the use of tools in con- nection, with the car were two of the most important factors learned in this class.

English and Library Clauses and Phrases Help Mold Our Language Is it a clause or a phrase? Do you think this is an adjective or an adverb? These questions and many others asked by the students of L.T.H.S. were capably answered by the following English teachers: Miss Margaret L. Taylor, Miss Eleanor A. Urban, Miss Marilyn R. Richards, Miss Eva M. Olson, Miss Lucile Emmons, and John L. Pence. English was a subject pursued not only by fresh- men and sophomores but also by upperclassmen. English is stressed more than other subjects be- cause it is so necessary to everyday living. American and English literature, studied under the guidance of the above teachers, gave pupils a chance to read many of the essays, poems, short stories, and plays of famous authors. A speech correction class, taught once a week by Miss jane L. Frasca, gave aid to students with speech diliiculties. This was a new and most helpful class added to the curriculum this year. The library, under the watchful eye of Miss Margaret C. Shepherd, proved a help in many ways. It contains many types of information on almost any subject, plus all of the latest magazines of any scholastic value, thus any reference work may be done in the school library during school hours, eliminating the necessity of going to the public library for study. Aside from all these reference books, our library contains many inter- esting iiction and non-Hction books, including biographies, autobiographies, and travel books written by famous people. Our library has grown from the 2,275 volumes of twenty-five years ago to the 5,975 volumes of today. Q27. , x f 'Q CLASS OF 1900-Front Row: N. Walter QNQ1-ton-deceasecll, E.

SENIOR STARS-Front Row: Elaine Melson, Barbara Cronholm, John Ed Meurer, Carolyn Winkler, Sharon Seniors Graduates at Last We've progressed from our freshman year And as graduation now draws near, We look at all the things we've done- Our trials, tribulations, and our fun. The freshman dances were quite the thing- New records and jeans and everything! As sophomores we were green no more So we entered in the fun galore. Our junior year came much too soon- The prom was led by Dale and June. We close with a senior year so nifty, And bid farewell to the seniors of '50. 0300 As june of 1950 brings out high school career to a close, let us reminisce over the past four years and see some of the wonderful things that have happened to our class. Nineteen hundred and forty-six welcomed us to a strange school which contained new rules, teachers, and friends. We soon managed to over- come our fears under the leadership of Ivan Lindgren, president, Jeannine Price, vice-presidentg Barbara Cronholm, secretaryg and Kathleen Bro- derick, treasurer. oyer Second Row: john Bachmann, Sarah Jean Rini, James Randich, Anne Brankey, Lawrence Grant, Peter Titre. With one year of experience to our credit, we came back in 1947 and elected Dale Blaesing, president, Jeannine Price, vice-president, Lawrence Grant, secretary, and Norman Rowley, treasurer. Our junior year brought us back to the halls as upperclassmen with the feeling of assurance. Under the guidance of our officers, Dale Blaesing, president, june Sons, vice-president, John Ed Meurer, secretary, and john Bachmann, treasurer, we selected our class rings and gave the junior prom, Moonlight Cruise. Our play, Peg of My Heart, was labeled a success, as was the operetta Captain Crossbonesfl As seniors, we returned to elect Lawrence Grant, president, Barbara Cronholm, vice-presi- dent, Roberta Martin, secretary, and Harry Wood- house, treasurer. Some of our seniors became so-called stars when they were elected to the heads of the various school organizations. They included Barbara Cronholm, Athletic Board of Control and G.A.A., Elaine Melson, Junior Red Cross, Lawrence Grant, class president, Sharon Boyer, co-editor of the Timex Anne Brankey, Student Council and co-editor of the Lockg Carolyn Winkler, co-editor of the Timer and of the Lock, Sarah jean Rini, chorus, john Bachmann, Athletic Board of Control and Quarterback Club, Peter Titre, band, james Randich, outdoor noon hour, John Ed Meurer, Athletic Board of Control and cafeteria. We kept the halls lively with laughter. cheered our boys in the games, and participated in all the events. During the year, we edited the Lock and the Timer, gained fame in the play. Stardust, attended the wonderful junior prom. and climaxed our school life with the senior picnic, baccalaureate, and graduation. Among our graduates were Americo Vallera and Norbert Bellou, G.E.D. Graduates. Now at the crossroads of our lives, we must decide about our future. This school has not only provided us with a wonderful education, but also four years of enjoyment which will often be relived in our memories. .31.

Smith, the National Honor Society was introduced at Lockport High. Through the past quarter century, membership in this society has been awarded to frfteen per cent of the senior class, all of whom must rank in the upper one-third of their class. The award was as important to the nineteen students who received it this year as to the six who received the honor twenty-live years ago.

Feeling important, as all upperclassmen do, the junior class helped to make this anniversary year one to remember. Under the guiding hands of the officers, John Pretto, president, LeRoy McCarthy, vice- presidentg Alex Artisuk, secretary, and Charles Anderson, treasurer, the juniors advanced day by day toward their goal of congenial associa- tions with teachers and students. Steps along this way which were greatly enjoyed by the stu- dent body were: the class play, Meet Me in St. Louis, directed by Miss Eleanor A. Urban, and the junior-senior prom, A Night at the Ballet, an evening which will be long remem- bered. After much deliberation, the class rings were also selected, and the choice proved to be satisfactory to the entire junior class. It was a great thrill to the new upperclass- men to share the fun and excitement of the junior-senior picnic at St. Charles. All in all, the memory of this year will be cherished in the minds of the Class of 1951. Top Row: Edward Grove, Ely Grubisich, Eva Gutierrez, Barbara Haley, Beverly Harvey, Beverly Hill, Gerald Hill.

Students, then, were provided with whole- some activities although they were not as numerous as they are now. Great progress has been made in our activity program during the last quarter century. This year our organizations and social events, combined with our academic work, made after-school hours a great deal of fun and heightened our school spirit. These activities stimulated interest and brought the students and teachers together in a more social atmosphere. They broadened our school life and laid the foundation for living together. 0 THE TIMES 0 STUDENT COUNCIL 0 JUNIOR RED CROSS 0 DRAMATICS 0 MUSIC 0 DANCES 0 CAFETERIA 0 QUARTERBACK AND WINGBACK 0 VISUAL EDUCATION 0 CHEERLEADERS 0 LOCKONIANS Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition or LlNcoLN GIVEN TO 2 p,.,,,,,, program ol' those who were - HE T1 ES or LOCKPORT HIGH VUL. l. - l.Ut'KlQ'0R'l'.

Aiken, sponsor Democracy Asserts Itself . . Democracy-just what is it? This was a question that was answered at Lockport Township High School by the Student Council when it helped to formulate means by which student problems could be remedied and solved. The council was composed of school leaders and home room repre- sentatives, with Dayrnond Aiken as its very capable sponsor. One of the main activities of the year was acting as host to the South Suburban Congress. Also, a new project undertaken by the council this year was the sponsoring of a used book stand. Another of the projects sponsored by the council was the annual Open House. Members of the organization were stationed at various posts in the building to supply any information necessary concerning the evenings program. Included in the program was a short band concert, a boys' basketball practice, a typing demon- stration, and an aquatic revue. Then, as always, we welcomed our parents to see our school. od X STUDENT COUNCIL-Front Row: B. Carroll, S. Rini, Secretary B. Cronholm, Vice-president J. Bachmann, President A. Brankey, Treasurer L.

Our first entertainer was a violinist, Alfredo Cavalieri, who gave an incite to his music. George Gilbert Groman, a linguist, presented many a laugh with his imitations of different persons and personalities. The skills of shorthand and typing were ably demonstrated by a young veteran, Norman Gil, of Gregg College. Inspiration and wonder were displayed as Lieutenant James Whittaker told of his experiences of being shipwrecked with Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. Cartooning became a topic of discussion after Paul Burke, world famous cartoonist, displayed his versatility with the chalk. A talented Charm Quartetv presented a variety of musical selections, and our final assembly of the year was a student program. John D. Lynch, Board of Educa- tion secretary, speaks at the April, 1929 ground-breaking ceremony while a senior in high school.

Goerz, sponsor JUNIOR RED CROSS Acts of Joy for Many a Girl and Boy . . The Junior Red Cross has long been known for the wonderful deeds it performs in helping the suffering children in America and in other lands. This year the Junior Red Cross accom- plished a main part of its job, that of help- ing children in other countries, by sending to them small gift boxes which contained such articles as toothpaste, pencils, tablets, Wash cloths, and soap. The second half of the job, helping children in our own country, was performed by selling programs at home games so that all of the players could easily be identified. The money made by the pro- grams and the enrollment campaign, which resulted in 10095, helped to build up the treasury. Miss Lorina E. Goetz, sponsor, was as- sisted in the deeds of the Junior Red Cross by Elaine Melson, president, John Pretto, vice-presidentg Betty Carroll, secretary, Nancee Kennedy, treasurer, and the home room representatives.

Miss Eleanor A. Urban, dramatics sponsor SENIOR PLAY Living the Part . . . Everyone must 'live' his role off stage as well as on was heard many times in the play Stardust,l' a hilarious comedy, pre- sented May 4 and 5 by the senior class, under the direction of Miss Eleanor A. Urban. The play took place in the Academy of Dramatic and Allied Arts, with Mr. Bach, an eccentric director, teaching his students all the wrong methods of acting. While the students were engaged in living', their art, Prudence Mason, a visiting actress, was dumbfounded at the crazy mix up. Terrifled, she called Claire Carter, her best friend, for help. Between the crazy ideas of Mr. Bach, the witty remarks of Claire, and the oddness of the over-arty students, Prudencels problem was finally solved. The characters were as follows: Mr. Bach, David Briick, Prudence Mason, Sharon Boyer, Claire Carter, Anne Bran- key, Madame DeFore, dean, Barbara Cron- holm, jerry Flanagan, Robert Shoop, Arthur Scott, jr, Prudences fiance, Rich- ard Woodman, Janet Ross,', Elaine Melson, Phil Ford, designer, Warren Lohmar, Tad Voohris, playwright, Burdette Fair, Marion Phipps, Carolyn Winkler, Cynthia Keene, Donna Krickovich, Stella Brahms, Mary Boehme, Mavis Moriarity, Charlotte Good- man, John Redman, Joseph Drick, Rai- mund Brown, Ivan Lindgren, Miss Robin- son, Patricia Flynn, l'Miss Freeman, jill Calloway, Miss Jones, Rosemary Gibes.

Under the direction of Miss Eleanor A. Ur- ban, the junior class presented its play, Meet Me in St. Louis,'l on the nights of November 17 and l8, to a wonderfully receptive audience. The comedy was a dramatization from Sally Benson's popular book of the same title. The plot revolved around four attractive sis- ters who decided to run the family, especially the romances of their only brother, Lon. The sisters, disliking the snobbish Eastern girl that Lon was wild about, set to steal the show from her. They were so concerned about their brother's predica- ment that they had no time to listen to their harassed father who had an important announce- ment to make to the family. Later, the tables turned on the sisters who then wished they were thousands of miles away from St. Louis. Their father chose that time to tell them that he had been offered a better job in New York, and that the family was to move away before the World's Fair started. However, the girls united, and, through their efforts, the family continued to live in good old St. Louis. Lon's romance was then straightened out. Members of the cast were as follows: Mr. Smith, a St. Louis business man and the head of a troublesome family, Dale Boden. Mrs. Smith, his wife, Mildred jungles. Rose, the eldest, Ardith Mathers and Marilyn Johnson. Esther, Frances Ott and Mary Dempsey. Agnes, Joyce Ludwig and Betty Carroll, Tootie, Caryl Sullivan. Lon, the son, john Pretto.

Along the decks, the promenade was led by Captain Dale Blaesing and Executive Officer june Sons. Punch, direct from Davy jones, locker, was served in the afterdeck, while Gene Victor and his crew entertained the passengers with nautical tunes. As the ship came into port, everyone agreed it was a gala cruise and that it will always hold a place in our sea-faring memories. We wish to thank the junior class sponsors, Paul E. White, Miss Mildred H. Krusa, Raymond Cherry, Mrs. Marion K. Morrison, and Lester L. Lindberg for their help and guidance in making Moonlight Cruise a success.

All we wanted was fun and music, music, music. This was certainly the case at our Lock dances which were held nearly every Friday night. Perhaps the mode of dancing had changed from what it was twenty-five years ago, but the element of whole- hearted fun was ever present. We no longer saw the Charleston or the Big Applef but the Double Shuffle and many new steps were often exhibited. 074: Due to the need of space and a more convenient location in the building, the dances were held in the gymnasium this year. We would like to express our appreciation to Miss Mildred H. Krusa for sponsoring the dances, and to joseph Kucera and Dominic Shulla for their cooperation in chaperoning.

Vim, vigor, and vitalityu seemed to be their motto, for when they gave a signal for a cheer, the response was one of enthusiasm. After several spirited try-outs, the old cheerleaders consisting of Jacqueline Bechler, Patsy Carlock, Betty Carroll, Joyce Ludwig, Elaine Melson, and Joann Williamson, plus two new can- didates, Mary Dempsey and Lois Grant, were elected. Juanita Boehme and Kathleen Roberts made cute mascots for this year's cheering squad. V Y... , A A-tar' QV' , ia. J mm LOCKONIANS: Posed at a meeting are Sponsor Marilyn R.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Football Fighters Fail to Reach Goal . . Playing against some of the strongest teams in Northern Illinois, Lockport's Varsity Football Team finished the season with a poor record of only one victory against seven defeats. The Porters were hampered during the whole season with injuries-averaging about three major in- juries per game. All through the season, the team showed a definite lack of spirit and team play, the climax of which was losing a game to Lemont, the Porters' arch rivals. At the football banquet, held on November 8, Varsity Coach Lester L. Lindberg awarded letters to Charles Anderson, Alex Artisuk, John Bach- mann, Dale Blaesing, Anthony Burcenski, james Butler, Frank Carroll, Robert Ferguson, Joseph BROKEN BONES CLUB--Front Row: J.

FOCTBALL PHYSICALS Food Adds New Glamour to Physical Exams . . . Prior to every football season, each prospective player must be given a physical examination to de- termine whether he is physically Ht to engage in sports. Usually this examination is conducted in the gym office at the school. This year, however, the varsity players were the guests of Coach Lester L. Lindberg at Murphy's Romeo Cafe. Immediately upon arriving at Murphys, the boys were given their physicals. Following this, the players were treated to refreshments prepared by Coach Lindberg and his wife. The consensus of opinion concerning the situa- tion was: This sure beats waiting for the physical exam in the gym corridor. CBesides, no food was served in the gym corridotlj FRESH-SOPH FOOTBALL Underclassmen Set Good Record . . Under the capable coaching of Frank J. Rogers, the fresh-soph team, against some very strong op- ponents, managed to win four ball games while los- ing only two. Edward Purdy was voted most valuable player by his teammates and Louis Larson was voted honorary captain. Coach Rogers awarded letters to the following at the football banquet: Norbert Adelmann, Roger Allen, Charles Allison, Jack DeToEol, Richard Gliwa, Earl Greene, Rikki Henke, LeRoy Irving, William Johnson, Charles Kasper, Francis Kinsella, Louis Lar- son, Frank Marco, Vincent McAsey, Eugene Melson, Raymond Mondrella, Edward Norton, Robert Sea- borg, William Stone, William Thompson, and Don- ald Warsaw.

The Porters won on a touchdown in the last 30 seconds on a pass to Fitzgerald in the end zone. Alex Artisuk provided the margin of victory by his brilliant kicking. Batavia 12-Lockport 7 Lockport ran into some stiff op- position at Batavia, and went down in defeat by a 12 to 7 score. The most brilliant play of the game was a 65- yard touchdown run by I-Ialfback Rich- ard Longhini. Bradley 26-Lockport 7 Playing its first home game of the season, under the lights at Lewis Col- lege, the Lockport squad ran into some stiff opposition and went down in defeat to a strong Bradley team by a score of 26 to 7. Pullman Tech 21-Lockport 12 Lockport again went down in de- featg this time at the hands of a tough Pullman eleven. The Porters led at one time by a 12 to 0 score, but could not hold their lead long enough to win the game as Pullman scored l4 points in the final period. Morris 26-Lockport 0 The Porters met one of the strongest teams in the state when they journeyed to Morris. After a thrilling first half, with Morris leading 6 to O, the Morris reserve power began to show on the wearying Porters. The opponents scored twice in the third quarter and added another tally for luck in the final period. Argo 19-Lockport 0 Argo capitalized on three Lockport misplays and scored three touchdowns to trip the Porters by a 19 to 0 score in a game played in a sea of mud. The light Porterbacks could not get started in the mud, but the heavier Argobacks seemed to have an easier time. Joliet Catholic 12-Lockport 0 Lockport's cripples met their rivals from Joliet Catholic on the Lewis College stadium and went down in defeat 12 to 0. Twice the Porters drove within the ten-yard stripe, but were unable to come through in the clutch. Lemont 19-Lockport 6 The Porters brought to an end a most dismal season by bowing to their arch rivals, Lemont, by a score of 19 to 6. The game was played in a freezing rain. Top: Richard Longhini breaks loose for a long gain to set up a score. Middle: Charles Kasper and Rikki Henke close in for the kill, while a St. Charles ball carrier tries to outrun them.

In spite of the fact that the team won only eight of its twenty- two games, the boys learned many things in the recent basketball sea- son. Varsity Coach Frank J. Rogers taught his boys to lose gracefully and still maintain a good spirit. The team was severely handi- capped by the loss of two of the four returning lettermen because of injuries before the season started. New life was shown towards the end of the season as the team came through to win five of its seven games, upsetting Joliet in the Bloom Regional by a crushing fifty- four to thirty-six score. Richard Plagenz was voted most valuable player of the season and Richard Longhini was elected honorary captain by their team- mates. Letter winners were: Charles Anderson, Alex Artisuk, Dale Blae- sing, Anthony Burcenski, Raymond Fedo, joseph Fitzgerald, Ely Grubi- sich, Richard Longhini, Harold Mc- Gahey, Richard Plagenz, and Robert Swindells.

With a definite lack of returning lettermen, Lester L. Lindberg, fresh-soph coach, was handed the task of fashioning a winning combination. Although the team managed to win only six out of nineteen games, several of the members of the team showed great promise of what they will be able to do for L.T.H.S. in the future. At the end of the season, Kenneth Parzych and Raymond Mondrella were voted most valu- able and honorary captain, respectively, by their teammates. Letters were awarded to the following boys: Dale Carlstrom, Charles Kasper, Louis Larson, Kenneth Parzych, Edward Purdy, Jean Wilson, Wfilliam Haller, Edward Harvey, Raymond Mon- drella, Ronald Murray, and Raymond Salbego.

Not only basketball, volley- ball, golf, ping pong, riding, tumbling, bowling, and swimming were oifered but, in addition to these, square dancing. This year's telegraphic bowling team placed second in the state, and the basket shooting team placed third in the district. In the interclass volley- ball and basketball tournaments, the sophomores and seniors took top honors. Social activities of the club started with a Buddy Picnic which was held at Dellwood Park. At Christ- mas time another party was given, and then in April our annual initiation party took place with fun and frolic for all, especially for the new members. Round- ing out our social calendar was the Mother and Daughter Tea in May.
