PSYCHOLOGY CLUB In Ianuary, the high school psych classes were invited to hear Dr. Carl Winters lecture on the psy- chology of crime. This was one of the most interest- ing lectures of the year. Since many I. C. students are going into the business field, Dr. A. C. Eckerman's lecture in February on the psychology of business was very appropriate. In March, Dr. Iohn Watkins came to talk on psychiatry, which was what the classes were study- ing at the time. At the next meeting, Mr. Payne gave a demonstration of hypnoses. To cap an eventful year, the club visited Manteno State Hospital in the spring to see psychology and psychologists at Work. FIRST ROW, Left to Right: R. Goodyear, M. I. Colvin. L. Smith. B. Thiel. B.

GERMAN CLUB With only ten people in this year's Ger- man class cmd a few from last year's class- es, German Club got under way in Decem- ber. After a wonderful dinner, the officers- Dean Hupp, president: Margie Koch, vice- president: and Iean Copenhaver, secretary- treasurer- were elected. Because of the season, Margie Koch read the German transl- ation of the Christmas story, after which a German card game was played. Everyone present had an enjoyable time. A interesting project of the club was going to a German movie. Das Kino , in Chicago. This especially gave the first year students a chance to test their knowledge of German as well as to have a good time. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club had a rather short but enjoyable year, the club being organized late in the year. The guiding hands were Sally Ladwig, president: Barb Rohkar, secretary: and Bob Glasner, treasurer. The Club's spon- sor was Miss Marguerite Carnal. Shortly after Christmas the club got off to a gala start with the annual pinata party. Later on in the year, the club tried something new and different-an all-language party. It sounded like the UN at times, but was lots of fun for everyone there. Throughout the year all the members had an enjoyable time and were glad they joined. FIRST ROW: Miss Rathert, D. Hupp, M.

CAMERA CLUB Headed by Bob Hill, president, the Cam- era Club's main function is to bring the camera bugs of I. C. together. The camera men have taken many field trips this year, one including the Loop at night. On that excursion they photographed some well- known monuments, buildings, and spots of interest. In April the club sponsored a photo show at which most of the interesting photo- graphs taken during the year were on dis- play. Nearly all of the pictures of Capers posted on the bulletin boards and many of those in the yearbook were taken by mem- bers of this club.

DEBATE This year's debate team consisted of Iohn Knowles, Conrad Steinhoff, and Millie Wray on the negative side, while Bob Glas- ner, lack Brophy, and Rutha Wheeler argued the affirmative side. Knowles and Steinhoff won two year medals, while Glasner and Brophy won one year medals. The team participated in weekly debates with surrounding schools and in a tourna- ment at Navy Pier. They were the only junior college team entered in the tournament. They won four and lost four-beating Whea- ton twice, Navy Pier, and Mundelein and losing to Chicago, Northwestern, Loyola, and Monmouth. Me Cloudburst As faithful as death cmd taxes ibut more pleasantl, the I. C. gospel, the Cloudburst, was published throughout the year. This paper keeps the students up-to-date on happenings around the school. The staff, ably directed by Kay Croak as editor, included Ianet Graf, news editor: Lee Templeton and Bill Rosol, sports writers: B. I. Hansen, gossip column: Mary Forester, club editor: Audrey Hostler, alumni: and Barb Rohkar and Barb Reckten- wald, feature writers. Also indispensable to the issuing of the journal were Ray Iiral, Ron Mathias, and Bill Tolbert. One of the most outstanding accomplishments of this year's Cloudburst staff was the special election issue, which told the results of the fall elections, hot off the press-the very morning following the voting. Nice work, staff! Special credit is due Bill Rosol for the patient work he did in figuring up all the basketball averages for the entire season. As willing as always, our faithful Clare Carr helped out by doing stencils and typing. Mr. Warkow gave assistance when needed, too. Lee Templeton, sports writer: Ianet Graf, news editor: and Kay Croak. editor, appear to be busy trying to get the next issue of the Cloudburst out on time.

Dean Hupp and Iohn Fisher check some copy, TUWCI' The rising costs of printing and publishing generally made the putting out this year's Tower an especially acute one. Even adding three dollars to the cost- of the activity ticket, as was initiated last year, has not solved the problem of using so large a share of the budget for the annual. However, after due deliberation, the Student Council voted early in the fall to economize in other ways and to continue with the publication of this, the sixteenth edition of the lay Cee Tower. This year's Tower got its start when Dean Hupp and Iohn Fisher were named as editors following the Council's decision. They chose a staff, who immediately got down to work. The committee responsible for the sophomore write-ups were Barb Rohkar, Barb Recktenwald, Kay Croak, and Sally Ladwig. Sports writers were Carl Taube, Lee Templeton, and Bob Mor- gan. Ethelyn Iohannsen, Midge Becker, Tom Fencl, and Carol Greve worked on club Write-ups, while B. I. Hansen and Midge Becker handled the productions write-ups. The photographer was lVlr. Holub. with assistance from Conrad Steinhoff, Bob Hill, and Ed Sweet. Miss Daugherty as sponsor was of invaluable assistance again this year. The staff feels pleased that they have been able to main- tain the uninterrupted custom of presenting a pictorial account of the year's activities. SEATED: I. Fisher, D. Hupp. FIRST ROW: K. Croak, B.

The girls knitted afghan squares at the meetings, after eating dinners prepared by Georgene Guzzardo and Stasia Ferenson. As us- ual they visited Vaughn Hospital to play cards with the disabled veterans. This project was highlighted by a fash- ion show given for the veterans this spring. Barb Ehrhard, with the aid of Miss Sheppard, the sponsor, did a fine job on the Red Cross fund drive. The officers, B, I.

Members are those men who have received letters during their years at I. C. The purpose of the club is to aid and promote an active interest in intramural and intercollegiate sports. An added activity of the L Club this year was to sponsor increased attend- ance at sports events, especially at basketball games. The L Club, sponsored by Mr. Kenneth Hunt, was led by Ion Knowles, elected vice-president, who succeeded Gene Robbins, after the latter left school. Don Mortvedt was the secre- tary-treasurer. This is the club that sponsors the annual Frosh-Soph football game. This year's game was the biggest and best with the sophomores winning 32-0 for the first and only time. DIQDDUCTIDNS been CQUQ , e The cuwuls hav Cuckoos on the Hearth , a mystery comedy, takes place during a cold winter in Maine, at Har- mony Hearth, lonely old house of the newly-wed Carletons. Don Carleton, played by Dave Tiedt, is called away to Washington to discuss a formula he has perfected for the War. Since a maniac has escaped from nearby Pineview Sanitarium, he is uneasy a- bout leaving his wife, played by Kathleen Simmons, alone in the house with only his none-too-bright relative, Lulu Pung, played by Barb Rokhar. How- ever, the arrival of Zadoc Grimes, an eccentric mys- tery writer, played by Bob Rogers, partly assures Mr. Carleton, and he leaves for Washington. Shortly after he goes, a gangster, played by Ray liral, an evangelist, played by Richard Sweeney, and a German professor, played by Bob Hale, come to the house seeking shelter. Act II is the story as Mr. Grimes wrote it. The professor and the gangster are after Mrs. Carleton for an experiment. The evangelist saves the day by capturing his two companions. While he is out, a coffin in the room opens, and out steps Dr. Gordon. a matron at Pineview Sanitarium, played by Ethylyn Iohanson. Act II ends as she strangles Mrs. Carle- ton. Act III is the story as it really happens. The three visitors are after Mr. Carleton's secret inven- 38 ht. 'Tuckoos on the Hearth tion. First they attempt to poison Zadoc Grimes. Failing in this, they question Lulu. She only half reveals the secret and is stuffed into a closet. Mr. Carleton comes home unexpectedly and is captured by the three criminals. To make Carleton reveal his invention, they threaten to torture his wife. Iust as he is about to give it up, the coffin opens again. This time it is the sheriff, played by lim McKinney. He put the three criminals in the secret gas cham- ber, and Mr. Carleton leaves to get drinks. The sheriff, who is really the escaped maniac, locks the door and attempts to strangle lVlrs. Carleton. Zadoc. who has been in the bedroom writing, comes out and saves her, but faints dead away. When Carle- ton gets back, the sheriff tells him Zadoc has tried to kill Mrs. Carleton. However, in the nick of time a state trooper, played by Bob Williams, arrives and restores order. Adding depth and clarity to the play are Mary lane Colvin, who plays a telephone man's wife who takes over his job when he breaks his leg, and Mar- got Palese, the little old lady who relates the whole story. The success of the production was due in large part to the hard work and co-operation of the cast and committee and the exceptionally able direction of Mr. Bacon. Hands up! That guy is inquisitive. The professor keeps things well hidden. The one in the middle is suffering.

They took to the gridiron fear- lessly, undaunted by climatic conditions for the annual Freshman-Sophomore football game, or as it was called this year, The Snow Bowl. Bleak as the weather was, the day was destined to be a lot darker for the freshman squad, which consisted of Lee Besse, Don Besse, lim Courtney, Iohn Salvatori, Dave Doolittle in the backtield, and Bill Fassett, Iohn Hymel, Lee Templeton, Claire Ashby, Terry Busch, Dean Smith, Al Evans, Carl Firley, Iohn Gay- lord. Wallace Capron, and Bob Ramsey in the line. They were outclassed all the way by their sopho- more brothers: George Hammond, Ed Lindberg. Bob Zdenek, Gene Robbins, Ralph Goodyear, Russ Riley, Ron Mathias, Bill Tolbert, Ken Carlson, Dick Ferguson, Howie Svoboda, Dick Cortesi, Ion Knowles, Fred Yndestad and Ken Ruzich. The opening quarter was almost even, with the sophomores scoring only one touchdown, and Freddy Yndestad going over for the tally. However, the rest of the game was controlled by the sopho- mores. Russ Riley scored on a long pass, and had two more called back. Ralph Goodyear also hit pay- dirt on a pass. Ken Ruzich bulled his way over for another tally, and Fred Yndestad took scoring honors by putting the ball across the goal line once more. Final score: Sophs 32 Frosh 0. It was cold, wet, and dirty, but everyone played his heart out to carry on an old I. C. tradition. Though the score wasn't close, it was a great game and everyone enjoyed it.

BASKETBALL Again this year lay Cee had a highly success- ful basketball season. Led by three returning regu- lars from last year's team CDon Mortvedt, Ralph Goodyear, and lack Kaulll, the squad had a record of sixteen wins and seven losses. Three of these losses were handed lay Cee by loliet. Again this year the Ramblers placed second to loliet in the state tournament, losing in the finals. However, the boys beat Elgin and Moline in that tournament. The team started off the season with three straight wins over North Park, 67-64: George Will- iams, 79-70: and Elgin, 63-61. Then came three successive losses to Thornton, Navy Pier, and De Kalb. lay Cee split the next two--winning from Moline, 67-62, and losing to loliet, 71-58. Then the Ramblers went on a seven game winning streak, beating Morton, North Central B, Moline, Elgin. , ,. -g.,'.p...1-ins'-A Morton again, Thomton, and Wheaton B. The boys then lost to a highly touted Bradley B team. The Ramblers won their next three games, beating La- Salle Peru, 88-737 George Williams, 67-66: and North Park, 71-62. The last game of the regular season was a heartbreaker, the boys losing to loliet, 60-57. Leading the team in scoring was lack Kaull with 280 points and Bob Morgan with 203. lack had high game honors with 44 points against LaSalle Peru and 39 against George Williams. The team suffering a blow at midseason when Ed Nesbitt, and Dick Paulson left school to join the Navy. With five returning lettermen, coach Burghardt is looking forward to another successful season next year.

Iohn Gervase was the main cog in the wheel during the first semester. He found time to knock down enough pins to lead the league in all three scoring departments in addition to having the job of league secre- tary, which kept him continually on the run. In the second semester, Bob Dlouhy handled this responsibility, while the scoring honors were continually changing hands between Rich McCcm, Lee Templeton and Chuck Russell. The Wheelchairs rolled to a league championship over the other nine teams in the first semester. During the second semes- ter eight teams are all fighting for that first place berth. i-...... hun...

Dick Cortesi and Ion Knowles were the mainstays in the distance runs, while Chuck Hayes and Russ Riley were depended upon in the dashes. n These four boys got together under the direction of Mr. Krause and formed a mile- relay team. Taking off on the right foot in their first meet of the season, the quartette was clocked in 3:42 and placed second in the qualifying meet of the Daily News Re- lays. After this meet, the boys ran in the Beloit Relays to finish out a good season. it it TEIIIIIS Great accomplishments are expected from the I. C. tennis team this year.

Ray Iiral Cplayer coachb, Dave Wooden and Tom Kern, the returning net men, will be supported by Mel Schmidt, Tom Hol- brook, Don Kozacek and Ralph Kral.
