You'd better try again, Mr. Burghardtf' says Miss Hileman, while Mrs. Doherty, Miss Reid, and Miss Stookey wonder how his jokes can be so terrible . . . Even though it may have been a long day, Mr. Field, Mr. Gotsch, Mr. Allen, Mrs. Glick, Mr. Hilf gendorf and Miss Daugherty can still smile sweetly for our photo' grapher, Mr. Hinchliffe . . . 'Tm not long for this World, sighs Mr. Glick as Mrs. Fetzner wields the needle. Mrs. Bogdanski also seems to believe the worst, while Miss Allen, Mr. Maus, and Miss Fruit look on sympathetically. Faculty No wonder Senora Wenner casts an admiring glance at Senor Ben' nett in that flashy Spanish outfit. Mr. Holt takes a few lessons from the charming senoritas Powers and Gage . . .

Mi, ini, mi, sing Mr. Hallam, Mr. Yearous, Mr. Walter Payne, and Mrs. Parshall under Mrs. Holmherg's direction. Are those the pangs of an artistic temperaf ment showing on Mr. Dissinger's face, or is he just pained by the chorus? Faculty Mr. Stacey, Mr. Montgomery, and Miss Darling agree with Miss Carnal that the muchfdiscussed paper in the new counseling offices really is beautiful, but Miss Keefe and Mr. Nelson seem unimpressed by it all . . . You can let go now, Mr. Bacon.

Oh, you're so clever, Miss Iorf dan! shrieks Miss Keizer. Mr. Walker and Mrs. Smith sit in awe, but Miss Gilliland and Miss Thompson think it's all a big joke . . .

These ranged all the way from selling food at football games to representing LT. at the state Student Council convention. In the spring the four ollicers and two repref sentatives from each of the three lower classes were elected to form the steering committee. The offif cers chosen to head the group this year were Burt Dorsett, President, Mary Wood, Secretary, and Barbara Eifler, Treasurer. These people carried on the Council business through the summer and early fall. Then twelve members from the Repref sentative Assembly were chosen to complete the Council. Most Council projects were carried out by the various standing committees. All our super dances were put on by the hardfworking Social Com' mittee. The sale of food at home football games was the job of Business Management, while the School Spirit committee planned all the pep meetings during the sports seasons. A complete record of every person's extrafcurricular activities was kept by the Participation Committee. The Student Guidance group edited the Gold and Blue Guide. Encouraging good citizenship and sportsmanship throughout the school was the job of the Citizenship Committee. The Publicity Committee, of course, brought out the crowds for the many events by its excellent posters. The Vienna Committee sponsored several collections and a clothing drive for the benefit of our adopted schools in Vienna. Working with the Representative Assembly, the Student Council provided an efficient and democratic organization for the solution of school problems. First Row: B. Scott, B. Wier, I. Both, D.

This year a membership drive was cli' maxed by a dance which was free for the class with the largest percentage of members. The seniors won, but the juniors ran a close second. The freshmen followed, and the sophomores brought up the rear. All the classes were well represented at the dance, though. The purchase of a beautiful new juke box and some roof repairs called for money, so for the second consecutive year, a student show was given to benefit the Corral. As last year, the townspeople supported the show, Corral Carouf sel , and again the show served a double purpose. It raised the needed money and gave an enjoyable evening to its spectators. The Corral board and officers worked diligently to make the show a success, as did the members of the cast and the numerous Corralfgoers who sold tickets. A number of dances were held at the Corral, and besides the regular dances, many evenings Tom Wright's band furnished jazz for the jitter' bugs. Many of the expert dancers in town owe their skill to the practice they got at such times, Ping pong enthusiasts had their opportunity to improve their ability, also. All types of interests can be satisfied at the Corral. No longer is there a problem of 'gWhere shall we go? The ambitious board this year was led by Chuck Bennett, president, Curly Vieth, vice- presidentg Mary Wood, secretary, and Gail Laff fey, treasurer. The board consisted of Hugh Beath, Pat Clarke, Lorraine Redis, Gordon Leavitt. Donna Simenson, Nancy Knappenberger, jerry Dougan, Kenny johnson, Midge Miles, Pete McKinney, Judy Whitney, Duncan Fleming. jane Futterer, Allan Calhamer, and Bruce Burdick helped with the special events. Much credit should also be given to the team captains and their workers. The Taylors deserve recognition for their large part in making the Corral what it is. The credit for the success of the organization goes to many people-young and old Qerj. Nearly everyone in the town has helped in some way. The Tabulae First Row: S. johnson, A. McCoy, M. Lund. N.

Listening at the door of Room 302 theres hoping the racket didnt go any fartherj, a visif tor could hear a beautiful rendition of 'kNoW Is the Hour in three part harmony fMiss Keizer, Adelaide, and Ruthfjohn being in the farthest corner with his ears pluggedj, or a stampede as the editors and staff members chased each other around the talwle. All was not horsefplay though. The staff had plenty to keep them husy with deadlines looming up and writefups to do and check. Then there were pictures to measure, reduce, and mount. The typewriter was clicking quite a hit and was a constant source of irritation as it was continu' ously making mistakes except for the times when our expert typists, Shirley Johnson, Geraldine Fanning, and Connie Malmquist were perform' ing. In spite of late writefups, hlurred print, dead' line dithculties, lost pictures, Cexcuse! never lost! just misplacedl, mistakes in reducing, money prohlems, it's out, you're reading it, the staff hopes you like it. Ruth Price Iohn Elder Adelaide McCoy The Lion I. Ielinek G. Leavitt F. Brown The desire for the smell of printers ink and the rattle of typewriter keys must be in the blood of the editors, Freya Brown, Joan Jelinek, and Gordon Leavitt, and the associate editors, Maria Brasseur, Pat Strauss, Janice Willey, and jim Winchester of this year's Lion staff, for they directed every phase of its publication with an unequalled enthusiasm. Fifty staff members worked on the various jobs of obtaining news about every activity in the school. Besides writing for the Lion, the everfbusy staff wrote L.T. news for the Citizen and entered journalistic contests. Janice Willey and Norma Medill took first place in a national contest in feature writing and advertising, while Gordon Leavitt and jim Winchester won sectional conf tests. Miss Keefe was the steadying influence and the everfhelpful guide for the newspaper. First Row: I. Kirby, R. Remus, N. Knappenberger, G. Leavitt, F. Brown, J. Ielinek, M. Hayes, R. Britton, I.

Not only did the club sponsor the Big and Little Sister Party, Freshman Mother and Daughter Tea and other miscellaneous teas, Bow Day, and dances, but it also was the power behind all the girls' service and interest groups. Each group has a chairman or cofchairmen who are members of the board and also a sponsor who may be a teacher or an interested woman outside school. The members of the service groups are not always given the credit they deserve. They do much of the advertising of events around school, send cards to the sick, and are in charge of many of the drives. All these groups do much to benef it L.T. The interest groups include almost anything a girl could wish. All types of skills and hobbies can be pursued in them. One of their main obf jects, however, is to improve their members as to personality, poise, grooming and interest. Two new interest groups were added this year. The Hrst was Mates and Mops which dealt with love and marriage. The second was Footlight Followers . The girls in this group saw theatre productions and heard reviews of good plays. The board of twenty-two girls this year was the largest in the club's history. The leaders were Barbara Burnett, president, Nancy Moulton, vicefpresidentg Carol Krueger, program chair' man, Jane Fuga, secretary, and Grace Johnson, treasurer. The board and oflieers are elected at the end of each school year by all the girls in school. Miss Banks and Miss Brown are the sponsors, and they worked with all the groups.

GENE PEIRCE Now in its third year, the Boys' Club was led by a hoard of five representatives from each class and its three officers through a successful series of activities. The first Sports Night, held in September, feaf tured the movie Football High Lights of 1947 and Coach Bennetts comments on the football team and how the game has changed since when he played . Bob Russell speaking on prep basketf ball, and Burt Shertlelf, lecturing on and demonf strating wrestling, made the Winter Sports Night a huge success. The Spring Sports Night, a joint meeting with the Men's Club, was com' posed of movies of the Rose Bowl game and a speech by Bob Voigts, Northwestern coach. Two basketball trips and a hockey trip were sponsored. The Rifle Club under the direction of Bob Schultz, Bob Wolf, Lee Speer, and Chuck Brodie, Secretary . . BUD GURNEY Treasurer .... BOB VAN NEST went great guns at its weekly meetings, jim Winchester and Leo Morgzln with the assistance of Tom Wright and Bud Gurney from the Board led WaxfWorks through a series of programs on jazz, while the Radio and Electronics group was constantly busy with its complicated gadf gets. Three other groups were also organized during the year: the Quarterback Club, the Swimming interest group, and the Vocations inf terest group. In its big trip of the year the Inside Industry group made a tour of the Museum of Science and Industry. The most successful inf terest group of the year was Gremlinville , the Boys' Club spring dance. An impressive group of sponsors: Mr. Warkow, Mr. Craven, Mr. John Davis, Mr. Warning, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Stevens helped the Board and officers plan the Boys' Club successful 4849 program, Tralta President .

The girls try to plan a wellfrounded program based on these principles. This year they chose a main theme for each semester, working the sepaf rate meetings around this theme. The program was planned well in advance and an attractive program booklet presented to each member. The major topic for the lirst semester was friendship and programs relating to this included a movie on race prejudice, discussions on our diff fering churches, our own Tralta Olympicsl' for which various girls represented different countries in our own branch of athletic events, and the everfpopular meetings with HifY. For one of these the girls prepared delicious box lunches for which the boys had to bid, proceeds going for the square dance which followed the supper. During the second semester the girls decided to investigate some occupations for women through several interesting talks, movies, and dis' cussions and also studied some phases of govern' ment. Two of the members attended the Univerf sity of Good Government meetings sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. in Chicago and reported on them Tri-H i- Y Secretary . . N,ANCY Caoss Treasurer . . . GLEE SCHLAEGER Miss LULA B. THoMPsoN to the group, while other girls visited the La' Grange Village Council and with the help of a local lawyer drew up an ordinance. Through its aihliation with the Y , the club has an opportunity to send representatives to the Chicago TrifHifY Council and the recently' formed West Suburban HifTri Council. This latter council sponsored several joint meetings with the Downers Grove Y clubs, including pot luck suppers before the D.G.fL.T. basketball games and a fall rally. Representatives from the clubs also attended the conference held in Joliet in February with a tour through the Stateville Penitentiary. Basically a Christian service club, Tralta naf turally included aid to others in its program. The club held a bake sale in the fall, the proceeds of which went towards a party for some children at the Bethlehem Community Center and sang carols at the Berwyn Hospital during the Christ' mas season. The girls also raised money toward one of the seventeen national Y.M.C.A. projects which support badly needed Y,M.C.A.'s in for' eign countries. Money received from the prize' winning TrifHifY float in the Homecoming Par rade also went for these purposes. First Row: B. Adkins, M. Carlson, L. Foster, G. Schlaeger, A. McCoy, N. Cross, Wade, L.

With this purpose in mind the members of HifY experienced a year packed with interesting, unusual meetings. A consistent favorite with the boys were the movie nights: World Series, joe Louis fights, Ab' hott and Costello comedies. In fact the club def cided to show Mickey Mouse movies at the Mardi Gras and found them just as successful there as at club meetings. To learn more ahout occupations, speakers were ohtained from various professions. Dr. Acker- man, a dentist, Mr. Schnauhelt and Mr, Brig' ham, pilots, Mr, Farley, Mr. Allbright, and Mr. Briggs, Post Office workers, gave an insight into the prohlems and experiences of their johs. For social meetings HifY had joint programs with TrifHifY. The two cluhs raised the roof at a square dance and hox social, and got into heated discussions on hoyfgirl relationships. Sports entered into the year's program in the swims held at the Central Y.M.C.A., where Secretary . . Boa FIEDLER Treasurer ALLAN CALHAMER Chaplain . . . JIM BAEHR the boys splashed to their hearts' content. Good Government was an important themeg the members attended a Village Board meeting to see government in action, and a representative was sent to the University of Good Government to study and report on city, state, national and world government. Gil Dodds, the 'Lflying preacher, gave an inf spiring speech to the group in one of the finest programs of the year, while impressive is the word which hest descrihes the candlelight induce tion service. Reverend Christians, in his talk at this meeting, helped to hring out the four points of HifYfClean Sports, Clean Scholarship, Clean Speech, Clean Living. Highlights of the year for some of the more privileged memhers were the conference held at jolietf-including a trip through Stateville, and the HifY council meetings. The club, under the indispensable aid of its sponsor, Mr. john Payne, had one of the most successful years and has developed a group of Christian boys with enthusiasm and vigor, 0. E. 0.

Miss Nickel started the program of this year with reviews of new books in the library. A chalk talk and a program of student talent were also among the meetings during the year. Many peof ple will remember having their fortunes told in O.E.O.'s fortuneftelling booth at the Mardi Cras. The initiation ceremony was the highlight of the club's calendar. At that time freshmen and any upperclassmen who were joining O.E.O. for the Hrst time were initiated during an im' pressive candlelight ceremony. True to tradition, tea was served after the ceremony. Each year three halffyear scholarships to junior College are awarded to deserving senior students of L.T.

A brand new club was organized this year for the purpose of creating greater interest in the his' tory of our school. The Recordkeepers wish to encourage research into past events, keep an ac' count of current activities, and create a better understanding of clubs, organizations, and teams. Through the suggestion made by Mr. Deason at the Hail the Champs assembly last year, the club was begun by a group of interested students Pep Club A club just formed this year is the Pep Club. The aim headed by Norman johnson. It is supposed to be a permanent one with the job of keeping the records up to date and available through publicaf tions and the library. Emphasis this year was put on compiling information about former track, baseball, and debate teams. This club ought to provide a large source of interesting and useful information about L.T. of this club is to become a really effective cheering section and to promote better school spirit. The oflicers of the club work with the School Spirit Committee of the Student Council. Under the leadership of Marilyn Giles, presidentg Ruth Zavodney, vicefpresident, Lois Carson, secretary, and Shelf ley Chase, treasurer, the club has been run very well. These oflicers have been assisted by a board made up of the folf lowing eight girls: Sue Griffiths, Lois Optholt, joan Brandrup, Pat Scott, Verne Dittman. Mary Leahy, Eunice Carlstedt, and Carol Krueger. The membership this year has included about 165 girls. Next year they hope to ex' pand and have both girl and boy members L. Carson, M. Lahey, S.

The sixfman squad, the nucleus of which was assembled by Coach I. L. Rehn three years ago. again won the championship of the Metrof politan Debate Union. Spearheading the drive was the negative side, undefeated in fifteen conf tests. Negative speakers were Louisa Haskell, George Phillips, and Allan Calhamer. The affirm' ative turned in work of championship caliber, too, handling the more diffiicult side of the quesf tion with a 1Of5 record, Mary Wood, Barb Eifler, and Frank Olson upheld the affirmative. The resolution under discussion was Resolved: that the United Nations now be revised into a federal world government. The season opened with practice tournaments at Hammond, La' Grange, New Trier, and Elgin. At Hammond, LaGrange affirmative was adjudged the bestg at LaGrange, two L.T. teams finished first and sec' ond: at Elgin, LaGrange was tied for first. In February, the team journeyed to Rock Island, to defend its Augustana Tournament championship. But LaGrange was not destined to repeat the ter' rific pace of previous years. They finished with ten wins. two losses, and by a narrow onefcontest margin, the coveted Augustana trophy slipped away. At commencement this year, Coach Rehn will see five of his varsity debaters mount the stage. The Hve, representing four years varsity experif ence, will at last leave high school debate circles familiar to them for so long. Our losses due to graduation will be lessened by our strong subf varsity group. Many coaches have admitted that this group would be good enough to debate var' sity, were it not for our present varsity speakers. These reserves are Norman johnson, Roy Ring' lund, Keith Yarborough, and Bob Wier. All except johnson will return next year. Then, too, the Rehn rebuilding program should keep us strong. A long series of intrafmural debates for beginners has been instituted. From this year's crop of freshmen, Coach Rehn plans to build a more powerful debating squad in the future.

Louis WINTER German Club found the year beginning well when Shelley Chase as Die Lorelei lured sevf eral RfB players onto the rocks and incidentally won an honorable mention for the club in the Homecoming Parade. This boost to the club treasury, added to the returns from the colorful Beer Garden Qroot beer onlyj sponsored by German Club at the Mardi Gras certainly allayed all financial worries for the year. High calibre programs were planned and exef cutcd for the four meetings presented this year. In Gctober films of Austria were shown to fa' miliarize the club members with countries in which German is spoken. Later an appropriate December meeting featured Betty Tiedt reading Tannenbaum, after which Hder Weinachtsmann fa la Chuck Maurer, put in a brief appearance. During the season the club also took part in the Christmas Assembly to show the German man- ner of celebrating this event. In March the members acted out several radio scripts to the enjoyment of those listening, while the climax to the year was a field trip to the Kino in Chicago to view a German picture. The picture was enjoyed, even though not com' pletely understood. QSome members wondered just what language they were studyingj The sponsors, Miss Wittmayer and Miss Rath' ert, deserve much of the credit for German Club's excellent program and the added understanding which the language students received from these extrafcurricular activities. French Club President . Louisa HASKELL Vicefpresidem . . BETTY Ross The members of Le Circle Francais, in order to improve their conversational French fand gen' erally have a lot of fun doing itj, held monthly meetings featuring a variety of entertainment, such as French movies, charades, a onefact cemedy. Trenet records, and those irresistable patissf eriesu. At several of the meetings a young French' man, M. Reitman, talked on student life in France and taught the club some popular French songs. He in turn invited the members to a meet' ing of the French club at the International House of the University of Chicago, where there was an opportunity to meet other Frenchmen. Janet Nothf Secretary . joY FoRsTER Treasurer . JEAN HL5TTlJN helfer, another speaker, entertained the club with an account of her trip to France and Paris. Her fascinating experiences got all the members inter' ested in taking a student tour of Europe. The club's activities were not confined to the meetings. Trips to the city to see a French movie and to visit a French church, running a Western Union Otlice at the Mardi Gras, and creating a Napoleonic float for the Homecoming parade were all included in the hprogrammef' The laughter that rocked the activities room sixth period on those special days just proved what fun this bunch had.

Stamp Club This club has steadily been growing under the able leadership of Mr. John Davis and its ofhcers, Bruce Scott, president, Bill Yag, vicefpresident, Dick Lefler, secretary, and Roy Ringland, treasf urer. The interests of this group center around buy' ing, selling, and exchanging stamps of all kinds. The club receives stamps from the National Phila' telic Association which are then sold to the mem' bers at face value. The stamp exhibitions are alf ways very interesting, along with the auctions, which are held every so often. Although the main purpose of this club is to give interested and talented students a chance to write for fun, many of them have achieved recogf nition in the Illinois English Bulletin, an antholf ogy of student works. Besides a required ability for writing, the members have an open mind to criticism especially when refreshments are served at the monthly meetings. From the sale of Pen and Inklingsv the club finances a party each semester and a banquet at which a prominent lit' erary figure speaks. Under the management of Cathy Wilson, president, Lois Carson, secretary, and Roy Ringlund, treasurer, the members spent the year writing anything from A Lament on Love to i'An Ode to a Slippery Sidewalk.

One of the most popular clubs in school, Draf matics Club has a large membership composed of students interested in all fields of drama. Because of the great interest shown and the number of participants, the club has divided into several smaller groups, each of which concentrates on one aspect of dramatic productions, such as staging, production, makefup, and acting. These groups collaborate to provide entertainment at the monthly meetings. As the main purpose of the club is to allow asf piring actors and actresses to pursue their interest, four of the meetings were devoted to the staging of onefact plays which were thoroughly enjoyed by those presenting and those viewing them. As another project, the club made a movie of school affairs under the management of Gill Dudley and showed it at one of the main meetings. Many future stage or cinema Cinderellas gained help' ful experience from these productions along with the school's handsome leading men. Various groups of Dramatics Club gave invaluable aid to other dramatic attempts of the year, including the operetta and junior and senior plays. A very clever float in the Homecoming Parade and the sale of cokes at the Mardi Gras also helpf ed make the year a success. The members had a great deal of fun participating in these school events. Dick Newman, Chuck Maurer, Mary Patterf son, and Pat Strauss were chosen by the club members to direct the year activities, aided by Miss Allen, Miss Sheppard, and Mr. Bacon, the sponsors. A. A. K.

Proof of this is the student exhibit and the Christmas window which A.A.K. worked on and sponsored for the benefit of the entire school. Although the year began with A.A.K. and Pencils and Paints, an interest group of Girls' Club, as two separate groups, they found that more could be accomplished if the two clubs comf bined to form a single, unified organization for the encouragement of art in the school. The schedule for the year was built around work projects, demonstrations, and individual projects. In this way the meetings pleased the taste of each and every artist. Joan Bader, a 1. C. student gave a pottery demonstration which was especially fitting since the art department has just obtained a kiln for Hring clay work. During the demonstration the proper preparation and method of throwing a bowl were shown. In the student exhibit, a new experiment by A,A.K., the artists of L.T., whether members of the club or not, were invited to exhibit any Secretary . . BETTY I I.-XRTSELL Treasurer . . . MARGARET BAILEY paintings or hand craft which they had attempted. Some twentyfseven paintings and sketches were shown along with handbags and other craft articles by the thirty participants. The work projects for the year included the Christmas window, which was placed on the main stairway to spread cheer and good will during the busy prefvacation days, and the making of Mothers Day cards for the veterans at Vaughn Hospital to send to their mothers. Of course A.A.K. was successful with its spirited group of able artists in building a Home' coming float. The cluh's football player mounted on the hood of a car came home with a three dollar honorable mention. Mardi Gras was graced by A.A.K.'s cigarette girls who passed among crowds selling not cigarettes but candy bars. With the individual projects which the mem' bers worked on in the spring Miss Christensen, the sponsor, was especially helpful. Artistic eff forts of every variety were produced, showing the versatility of student artists and artisans. Fi-Kem President . MERLE SCHMIDT Vicefpresident JIM Enwaans The scientific minds of L.T. once more gathered about the test tubes and bunsen burners for an' other interesting round of EifKem meetings this year. Highlights of the year were two trips, one to the Corn Products Refining Company, and the other to the Continental Can Company. During the Corn Products trip, directed by Dr. Elder, the various functions of a new research building were shown. The uses of a pilot plant in a mod' ern factory were also demonstrated. Methods of making and lacquering cans and lithographing the labels were demonstrated at the Continental Can plant. The members showed their skill in science by their demonstrations at club meetings. Oscillof scope and spcctroscope demonstrations proved Secretary JOHN FISCHER Treasurei' . ROY RINGLUND fascinating as wolf calls were changed to wavy lines and colors were mixed electrically. Gardens were grown from chemicals in another demonstraf tion. Movies and lectures on many topics in both chemistry and physics occupied the other meetings under the direction of Mr. Craven, the club's sponsor. Hilarious highflight of the Mardi Cras was the spongefthrowing contest sponsored by EifKem. The connection of the booth with things scientific may have been rather vague, but its success was obvious. From the laboratories of L.T. have come sevf eral successful entrants in national scientific conf tests, proving the usefulness of EifKem in helping to train future scientists. First Row: M.

Biology Club, the club for L.T.,s budding na' turalists, had a most successful year. It was ably led by president Libby Foster, vice president Merle Schmidt, secretaryftreasurer Joan Houghf ton, and its sponsor Mrs. Wenner, At their meetings the members made such things as temporary and permanent slides and heard a member speak on taxidermy. They also saw several interesting movies about animal life. The highlight of the year was the annual dis' section contest. Six teams were entered, and the winners were rewarded for their efforts with a ribbon and pin. while the other contestants ref ceived candy bars as consolation prizes. Adding to their glory, the members won honor' able mention for their float in the Homecoming Parade and held a successful basketballftoss booth at the Mardi Gras. Home Ee Club First Row: B.

In November new officers were installed at a candleflight ceremony. At this, the outstanding meeting of the year, Delores Hebert became presif dent, Sue Griffiths, secretary, and Georgene Guzf zardo, treasurer. Others who were installed were Margaret West, art chairman, Delores Marzano, historian, Betty Hanson, publicity, Ruth Zavodf ney, music and social chairman, Peggy Rhamstine, foods chairman, Lois Stuenkel, hostess, and Joyce Wade, fashion chairman. At the December meeting, a Christmas party was given for some of the needy children of La Grange. Santa Claus was there and gave each child a present. Refreshments, prepared by the Home Ec girls, were served. The meetings for the rest of the year consisted of a demonstration of fancy sandwiches, a MotherfDaughter tea, and a dinner to give the seniors a gay sendfoff. Along with their officers, the club had two sponsors, Miss Reid and Miss Stokes, who helped make this year such a success. l Red Cross Council The Red Cross Council does a worthfwhile job. The group begins work selling candy bars at our basketball games. The money made from candy sales is given to the Camp and Hos' pital Fund for donation to one of the veterans' hospitals. This enables the hospital to buy something it needs. Last year a typewriter was purchased. The annual drive for the Red Cross was very successful. Under the direction of Peggy Link, with Miss Aucutt as sponsor, a total of 5221.12 was collected in the spring. This hardfworking group deserves a great deal of credit for furthering the fine work of the Radio After lying dormant for two years, the Radio Club was revised this year into probably the most active club in L.T. The small membership of eight makes it possible for the club to meet on an average of four times a week. These future radio operators have been working toward their amateur licenses. The club sponsor, Mr. Warn' ing, a licensed amateur himself, has been helping J. Lahvic, B. Page, D, Krause, P. Link, R. Wegner. Red Cross, and they can be proud of the record that they have set for this school. Club the boys meet the license requirements, which include a knowledge of radio theory and the Morse Code. The club is also in the process of creating a radio station here at school. They already have a receiver and will soon have a transmitter. The club has been doing a fine job of furthering amateur radio in L.T. D. De Shazo, T. Hueser, vicefpresident, B. Greenlee, president, R. Ogg, Mr. Warning, S. Walker. Twirlers The twirlers, as usual, played a colorful part in our school activities. Leading the club through another successful year were the officers: Marilyn Faust, presidentg janet Hugus, vicefpresident, Carolyn Redis, secretary, and Nancy Wilsoii, treasurer. Not to be forgotten are property man' ager, Sally Coder, and publicity manager, Joan Busch. Mr. Hilgendorf sponsored the club, while Miss Hileman was their teacher. The classes were divided into three groups: beginners, inter' mediates, and advanced, and met every Monday night with thc exception of the second Monday of each month. The second Wediiesday of each month was given over to a business meeting. The twirlers' activities included twirling at foot' ball and basketball games and the Homecoming and Memorial Day parades. All in all, Twirlers contributed an important part to the success of the school. First Picture fAdUdHC' edj: S. Bockewitz, P. VVilliams, Hugus, Busch, N.

Secf Cheerleaders Under the leadership of their cap' tain, Barbara Burnett, the girls on the varsity squad, including Pat Halvorsen, Yvonne La Vallic, Mar' ty Morgan, Margie Nelson, jo Ratsch, Jeanne Saxon, and Betty jane Vickers, helped our teams on to victory many times. This squad of eight girls is composed of six seniors and two juniors because for the first time the varsity squad was limited to these two classes. In years past the varsity squad was composed of only five girls, but by the addition of another three, sev- eral very effective routines were worked out. This year, also for the first time, the cheerleaders had a sponsor, Miss Hileman, and the girls really appreciated her help. The girls tried everywhere to get new cheers. One of the best was the syncopated version of Got the Coach. This went over well with everybody. A new organization of this year, the Pep Club, helped the cheerleaders a great deal in pre' senting the new cheers. The froshfsoph squad did a fine job of leading the cheers for the froshf soph games. This squad consisted of ten girls, who look very promisf ing for next year. First Row: P. Halvorsen, Ratsch, B.

I am the spirit of the tram' car. Giggles and guffaws were brought forth continuf ally by lines such as that and by the equally fantastic antics of the aspiring actors and ac' tresses of the Academy of Dramatic and Allied Arts as they played the part of peeled oranges and umbrellas to im' press Prudence Mason, visiting actressfcelebrity. However Stardust, the Jun' ior play, was not merely conf cerned with the acting that takes place in the Academy, but also with the lovefmaking. No plot was ever more en' tangled in love than this one. Poor Prudence was loved by a boring businessman but still loved an actor in distant Holf lywood. At the same time the two lovefbirds of the Academy quarreled and parted, the boy thereupon falling in love with Prudence. But, under the direction of Mr, Stacey the play came to the proverbial happy ending. Top Picture: E. Hensel, R. Ring' lund, I. Hannauer, C, Maurer, M. Patterson. Middle Picture. Front Row: L.

Because of the passionate love letters sent by Miriam, Ruth's sister, to Lieuf tenant William Seawright, dashing flyer, he arrived at the Wilkins' homestead with the false impression that he was to become Ruth's husband in the few days of his leave. Ruth found herself in a very emf barrassing situation, since she happened to be engaged to Albert Kummer, an exception' ally stuffy bank employee. The patiently suffering parents and the family's faithful maid Dora, were forced to attempt to reconcile all the battling factions. Chuck Vincent, Bill's buddy, and Martha Sea' wright, Bill's sister, patched up their lover's quarrel and got married. The Hnal complication came as Harold Klobbermeyer, an' other unwitting recipient of Ruth's amorous epistles, wandered onto the stage just as the curtain fell on Mr. Bacon's successful production.

The 0peretta PATIENCE by Gilbert and Sullivan CAST or CHARACTERS Friday Colonel Calverley Major Murgatroyd . . . Lieut., The Duke of Dunstable Reginald Bunthorne . . Archibald Grosvenor . Mr. Bunthorne's Solicitor . The Lady Angela The Lady Saphir The Lady Ella The Lady Jane Patience Tom Coleman Pete McKinney Dick Lefler Dick Tomhaugh jack Fowlie jack Haugen Helen Suk Betty Vickers Lois Gpt Holt Louise Mungcr Martha Morgan Saturday Dohn Mehlenhacher Pete McKinney George Hammond Bill Munns Randolph Olson Jack Haugen Elizabeth Foster Mary Lahey Nancy Knappenherg joane Wilhelni Georgia Bail C Amid dashing Dragoons and languishing lovesick maidens two aesthetic poets made love to Paf tienee, a plain and simple milkmaid, on L. Tfs stage March 25 and 26. Bunthorne, who wrote expressive but senseless verses about such things as calomel, and Grosvenor, who was Patience's friend when he was just 'La litftle boy, battled for her affections with dogged determinaf tion, as the other young ladies, unable to make up their minds, adored en masse first one poet, then the other, in their search for true aesthetif cism. Meanwhile the Colonel, Major, and Duke had their own love affairs to untangle. In an unforgettable quintet they attempted to pair themselves up with Lady Angela and Lady Saphir, with the inevitable result that one was always left with only the others' heartfelt symf pathyf' Faithful Lady Jane, stout and antique, remained true to Bunthorne even after he had been def serted by the maidens for Grosvenor. As the operetta ended, however, she had found her man, the Duke, among the Dragoons, who had dropped their false aestheticism when Grosvenor, upon Bunthorne's orders, transformed himself into a commonplace young man. The maidens also def cided to do away with their aesthetic antics at this point and rushed to the ranks of the Draf goons, where the steadfastly faithful soldiers welcomed them with obvious joy. Bunthorne, who, deeply hurt by the desertion of the fickle maidens, had ordered Grosvenor to make his conversion in order to draw attention back to himself, found his efforts unrewarded. Patience returned to Grosvenor leaving poor Bunthorne soulfully clutching a lily as the curf tains closed. Tireless in their efforts to make l'Patience a sue' cess were Mr. Dissenger, Miss Sheppard, Miss Wciinerstrcim, and Shirley Johnson. Praise is also due to the orchestra which contributed greatly to the excellent production. Left: D. Mehlenbaeher, M. Lahey, G. Hammond, N. Knappenberger, P. McKinney, L. Foster. Uppet Center: R.

'TOPI Sanborn SEASON RECORD Bottom: Hilton Glenbard 58 Oak Park 29 Riverside 89 York 26 Oak Park 35 Proviso 72 Downers 28 Maine 30 Oak Park 35 94 With only Gordon Dudley returning from the '47 squad, the cross country team seemed due for a concentrated rebuilding. Armer's vigorous action brought to the squad such boys as Dexter Sanborn, Bob Wright, Steve Little, Larry Waddington, and Clarence Hilton. The team won all its early dual meets. Inf juries and sickness, however, cut into the Lion linefup, as the twofmilers dropped a decision to York. The next week, the bat' tered Lions ran to a tie score with Downers Grove. The practice season closed with two dual meet victories. The Lions entered the conference and dis' triet meet with hopes for the championship. As the twofmile grind around Glenhard's beautiful lake progressed, Hilton and San' born fell back. Bewildered by this turn of events, the frontfrunning Lions faltered. York went on to take the conference champ' ionship, while LaGrange finished fourth. However a new wave of Lion power is risf ing. Seven underclassmen, lcd by Bill Walf cott and Lowell Erickson, captured the season's first trophy by winning at Leyden. Frosh - Soph Football With only three returning numeral win' ners to work with, Coaches Deason and Burghardt molded one of L.T.'s greatest squads, which went undefeated through the season. The FroshfSophs opened the season with favored Oak Park, but a terrific first half left them in the dust. In the second half though Oak Park roared back to tie the game, the Cubs gathered themselves to score in the last seconds and won 25 to 19. Glen' bard fell before a sustained attack 26 to 6. The FroshfSoph played good ball against RfB during the first half, but rested on their laurels and just squeaked out a 14 to 6 vicf tory. York proved stubborn and went ahead in the fourth quarter after an early L.T. score, but the Cubs bounced back to win 12 to 7. The Lion backs ran Downers crazy and won 32 to 12. Maine was next and the line took a bow. Maine went back' wards whenever they got the ball, and LT. won 20 to 6. Hinsdale was little competif tion as the FroshfSoph won 39 to 13 to chalk up an undefeated conference crown, proving once again that Mr. Deason is one of the outstanding coaches of thc conferf ence. It was the gifted running of McKown and Bennett and the quarterbacking of McKinf ney along with a sturdy line composed of McCoy, Higley, Brophy, Dungfelder, Bushf ing, Alderdyce, and Hallberg that brought LaGrange this fourth straight championship.

Chuck Bennett and Greg Sloan have again done a feat that is, unfortunately taken too much for granted around El Tee-winning football champ' ionships. They coached the team to an undef feared conference championship for the third straight year. A rather inexperienced squad took the field against a mighty, veteran Cak Park crew. They played tough football, but three lapses gave Oak Park the game by a 21 to 7 count. The team learned a lot from this game and played some good, hard, headsfup football the rest of the year. Glenbard proved to be about as stubborn as Gibralterg Riverside was completely outclassedg veteran York faded away, and Downers Grove was completely overwhelmed as the Lion jugerf naut gained speed for the impending crisis, Maine. Mighty Maine entered the arena unbeaten and as the logical contender for the state title. The stage was set. Maine scored Hrst on a pass but missed the extra point. LaGrange fought back, blocked a punt that was recovered and conf verted into a score. Maine's homecoming was wrecked when Beath kicked the extra point. Maine again scored on a pass and again the Lions fought back to block a punt and go on to score for a thrilling 13 to 12 victory. Now only Hinsdale stood in the way and after a scoreless first half their light line gave away to the repeated attacks by the Lions, and so La' Grange wrote finis to another championship year. Certainly as we look back over this season we shouldnt forget the steady, dependable play of Chuck Bennett, who made AllfState, the long runs of Curly Vieth, the stellar defensive work of johnny Hodapp, nor the excellent line play of Baath, Hooper, Swett, and Hammond which won one game and contributed so much toward winning the others. Yet the real reason for vicf tory this season lies with substitutes. It was they who ably filled the vacancies and who kept press' ing and forcing the varsity to greater heights. That is the real reason for victory, and it was amply demonstrated this season. SEASON RECORD L. T. . . 7 Oak Park . . 21 L. T. . . 7 Glenhard . . O L. T. . . Z6 Riverside . O L.

Dudley, Coach Greg Sloan. La Grange put a fast, scrappy team on the hard' wood floor this year, and walked off with conf siderable success. Champions of the Pontiac holif day tournament, the Lions won 18 of 24 season contests. Speed was the Lions' prime asset throughout the season. Argo and Joliet felt the sting of the Lion fast break, Rockford West tried to play a fast game and fellg against Niles, the team set a new scoring record, 83 points in a single game. The midwinter Pontiac tournament brought the Lions in contact with an altogether different style of play. Four central Illinois schools, playing a slower, more deliberate game, fell before the rushf ing La Grange attack. La Grange turned on its press defense. Sticking closely to their oppof nents, the L. T. boys intercepted passes, stole balls, and raced their rivals to defeat. The first two games were dangerously close! Wayne Viethls basket, on a pass interception in the final 15 sec' onds, created the onefpoint margin over Peoria Central. The Lions pulled out the throttle against host Pontiac and played their season's best game in defeating Chenoa for the championship. LaGrange's attack was led by a pair of fine for' wards, L'Curly Vieth and Bob Stevens. Vieth was high scorer in fourteen of our games and was named by the Pontiac newspaper as the out' standing player of their tournament. Against Argo he cracked jim Hoffman's 28fpoint scoring record. Vieth hit 35. Stevens Hrst led the squad in scoring against Downers Grove. He rapidly moved to the top of the conference in scoring and finished in the number two spot. When illness cut a hole in the linefup, Stevens moved to the guard position, but continued his fine scoring. The season opener revealed an important weakf ness in the Lyons squad. Leading all the way into the final quarter, the Lions should have been able to stall and coast to victory. But the speed mer' chants were unable to slow down. Lacking the poise that comes with experience, the Lions clamped on an imperfect stall. The resurgent Wildkits broke through in the final minutes to win the ball game. A similar occurrence was the first Glenbard game in which a long Lion lead was completely erased in the second half. The first loss to Riverside can be traced to this same weakness. It was a case of a fast team unable to play uball possession when the situation required lf. The starting team for the season's first game inf cluded Vieth and Stevens, Steve Little, Hugh Beath, and Chuck Bennett. The search for a taller boy to play center against powerful sub' urban schools led Coach Greg Sloan to 6ffooter Phil Swett. Swett hit 16 points against Niles and played regularly from that time till the end of the season. Another guard who saw continuous ser' vice was Gordon Dudley, a deadeye set shot artist. Don Weed Ward was a strong forward replacement, playing a great deal toward the end of the season. A bright spot in the conference season was the comeback victory over Hinsdale. LaGrange first played Hinsdale on the 1atter's court and ab' sorbed a three point defeat. The two teams were SEASON RECORD L. T. 47, Evanston 51 L. T. 72, Argo 54 L. T. 42, New Trier 39 L T evenly matched throughout the game. Vieth, Stevf ens, and Swett fouled out in the closing minutes. The contestants met on the Lion's court some weeks later. Steve Little was again sent into the center position, where his rebounding and shooting were excellent. Gordon Dudley, coming in at guard, scored 19 points to spearhead the drive and reverse the previous decision, again by three points. The season finale was against Riverside. Beaten twice before by the tall R-B cagers, the Lions nevertheless fought back. The game was forced into an overtime when LaGrange's efforts to protect a lead failed. The Riverside boys ran wild in the overtime period, scoring 13 points in 3 minutes, and thus the curtain rang down on L.T.'s 1949 season. .ff 35' . . .f . .,,. . . .38 Glenbard43 A- L.

Victors in sixteen contests, losers in one, the Cub team possessed a terrific offensive punch. Prime asset throughout the season was a long fast break. With every regular taller than six feet, the Cubs had height advantage over most of their opponents. This paid off particularly in steady rebounding power. Starting at forward were lanky joe Remelsberf ger, at 6f3, and speedy Dean McKoxvn. Tom Nesbitt played the center position, and Lee Hallberg and Dick Paulson played guard. Paul' son shifted to forward when freshman By Benf nett came in at guard. Reserves who saw the most service were Dick Cole and Peter Scott. The season opened with nonfconference vicf tories: Evanston, Argo, New Trier. These let LaGrange fans in on what to expect throughout the season. Glenbard was the first conference victim, succumbing to the fast break by 48 points. After a victory over Niles, the team ref turned to conference play and defeated Down' ers, Riverside, York, Maine, Hinsdale, and Glen' bard. Nonfconference Joliet fell by a close score. The Cubs then beat Downers and River' side to clinch the conference title with two games to go. The sixteenth straight win was over Maineg the last game a loss to Hinsdale. This was a happy season for Coach Les Glick. His sophomore cagers were conference champ' ions: but unwilling to settle for one good season, Glick has prepared his squad to repeat its sucf cess as the LaGrange freshman team went through an entire season undefeated, against similar teams from other schools.

As a result several inexperienced boys had to wrestleg however, they turned in some fine vie' tories. During the season, the team was hot and cold. A tie against Thornton and wins over Maine and some of the other schools in the district were some of the high spots. All told, the team won six, lost five, and tied one.

They easily won the Naperville Relays and then came through with a thrilling victory at Oak Park. This is the first time a school out' side of the Suburban League has won the Oak Park Relays. At this early stage it looks like a threefway fight between Oak Park, New Trier, and L,T. for the State title, with any little mishap deciding the crown.

The team's spirit is very high, and they're out there trying. The presence of Coaches Deason and Armer is almost enough to insure victory. It is men like Caffey in the dashes, Dlouhy in the discus, Vieth in the high jump and high hurdles, Little in the 440, and Hammond and Hooper in the shot put that will be the stalwarts, but men like McEllhiney, Cortesi, Eckley, Sanborn, and McKown will also bring in needed points. The Frosh'Soph squad will be well balanced this year. They won the Naperville Relays with men like Clay, Walcott, Bennett, McKinney, and Althen. The team is gunning to regain the conf ference from York, but York appears strong again this year. State Championsf1948. First Row: W. Vieth, R. Van Horn, Coach Deason, I. Cafley, R. Dlouhy, I.

Van Nest, Hagadone, F. Tikalsky, B. Williams, E. Alderdyce, Coach Glick. Handicapped by a rather green team this year, Coach Glick will probably have trouble matching the record of some of the other teams in the school. However, an optimistic view places the team third in the conference, which is a notch above last season's record. The nucleus of the team will be a group of ref turning lettermen. Tom Wright and Bob Stevens, both outfielders, are the only seniors returning. Jim Mitchell, Bob Van Nest, Ralph Goodyear, and Dick Coffland are returning juniors. The pitching will be handled by Gordon Dudley, a senior, and jim Hagadone, a junior. Since base' ball is about eighty per cent pitching, much of the success of the team will depend upon these two players. The outield and inneld seem characterized by an overall lack of experience, and a reserve deiiciency will also hurt the team. However, as it is yet untried this year, the Held is still open for a sucf cessful year. As the team is comprised of mostly juniors, it will bear watching in the next year's season. Golf Mr. Payne's golf team may not equal some of its previous records this year but will be a strong contender for conference honors. Glenbard, with its whole team returning, and Maine will furnish formidable opposition, but the guiding genius of Mr. Payne and the neverfsayfdie spirit of his teams have astounded the experts before, and it could easily happen this year. Although minus Dave Swain and Bob Sessions, who tied for conference honors last year, the team has three returning lettermen, Hugh Beath, Russel French, and Ed Staren. Thirteen matches will be played this year, all in the conference, and if Mr. Payne can Hnd some capable help to support these three, he will have a strong team. The froshfsoph team has a large turnout this year, and in numbers there is hope. A large turnout also means a continuance of good golf teams. Among the outstanding froshfsoph play' ers are Bob Carlisle, Bill Brafford, Ed. Ptacek, and Dick Lefler. First Row: I. Ackerman, R. Lefler, E. Ptacek, B. Carlisle, M. Schultz, I. Vorreyer.

Prospects for this year's tennis team are very good. Coach Frank Allen has a very formidable array of talent in Chuck Steinke for first singles, Dick Cole for second singles, and Bill Greaves for third singles who should win many matches this year. Doubles positions are in a doubtful state, with the two teams to be formed from Jim Baxter, Dick Tom' baugh, Randy Snyder, Norm Eiiler, Herb Patterson, Dick Krause, or possibly some other overlooked star. After some experimentation Coach Allen should find some good combinations from that group. The team has already beaten Blue Island, Proviso, and the defending State champions, Oak Park, but since Hinsdale has its whole team ref turning, prospects for a championship aren't too good. However, the team has excellent spirit and might well finish second or even push Hinsdale to the limit. The froshfsoph prospects are good with the team wellfbalanced. They may not win many first singles, but they should win many second and third matches and also some doubles. In early season practice Spick, Vaughan, and Hoif look like the better prospects. 105 C. Steinke Girls 9 A thletics A wellfroundedfout sports program is offered to girls as well as boys at L.T. The Girls' Athletic Asscoiation participates in both intramural and interscholastic sports. There was always some activity in the girls' gym every afternoon, but regular meetings were held on the first Wednesf day of each month. Some of the special meetings were the annual Christmas party, the initiation service for the new members, and the banquet in May when the awards were presented and the new officers announced. C.A.A. sponsored two dances this year. They were extremely popular and enjoyed by the whole school. Another activitiy of this club was the selling of basketball pencils. These gold and blue pencils were good reminders of the basketball schedule. The members met girls from other schools also. The girls attended a play day this fall in Naperf ville. The day was spent playing several different games. G.A.A. had a fine interscholastic tennis team. Select members participated in the state telegraphic bowling and telegraphic basketfshootf ing tournament. In both contests Shirley Hoff made the top scores for L.T. C.A.A. was well led this year by Caryl Van de Houten, president: joan Van de Houten, vice' presidentg Nancy Wilson, secretaryg Betty Wil' liams, treasurerg Shirley Hoff, sports managerg and the heads of the various sports. The club is sponf sored by Miss Hutt, who is assisted by Mrs. Click and Miss I-lileman. Another activity for girls interested in sports is the leadership class.This group of juniors and seniors takes gym once a day and helps the instructors by check' ing roll, refereeing in games. and just being use' ful. The leaders also de' vote one aftcrfsehool hour a week to a training class. These girls enjoyed such extra activities as having a dinner and going to see Finian's Rainbow.
