The brightest highlight of all in a crowded year was, of course, the purchase of Maine's C-54. I ' ' ' ' own ndustrious Mainites also managed to get themselves a Youth Center in Park Ridge, and to have a real WGN broadcast staged in the Gym. Along with these new and different events, the Christmas Page'ant, the Stu- dent Council election, and the regular dances from the Kickoff to the prom ticked off on schedule to make this a really memorable year.

These dates stand out in Maine's calen- dar of 1944-45 events: December 1: The Clay the student body accepted Superintendent Frank L. Holmes' challenge to put over the sale of half a million dollars' worth of war bonds dur- ing the sixth war loan drive in order that a Douglas C-54 Skymaster might be named for the school. Immediately the National Honor Society and the Student Council sta- tioned members and other Volunteers in Des Plaines and Park Ridge banks and theaters to urge bond purchasers to credit their bonds to Maine. December 11: The stormy night that 400 students in two teams headed by Jack Sul- livan and Bill Barkell canvassed homes in both towns, bringing in an additional S164,000. December 15: The eve of Christmas va- cation, when it was officially announced at the close of the pageant that the quota had been topped by more than S50,000. As a reward, the student body got an extra day's vacation. February 9: The day that a delegation from the Special Events Division of the U. S. Treasury Department presented a Our Own C-54 . . special recognition program and the Mel Tierney Legion Post of Park Ridge pre- sented to the school a new Minute Man flag for outstanding sale of War bonds and stamps. Februaryi 16: The' day that C-54 number 332, inscribed with the name of the school and the slogan, Faster and Higher That's Maine's Flyer, was formally dedicated at a ceremony on the Douglas grounds. The entire student body was transported to the' plant. March 14: A Maine alumnus first re- ported having seen the plane in flight and about a landing at the U. S. Naval Air Sta- tion at Alameda, California, doing its job as a transport for the Army Air Forces. Other alumni later Wrote from the same station of the' thrill they felt upon boarding and Working upon the ship, which they re- ported being attached to a hospital fleet and fitted with stretchers to carry the wounded men back from the fronts. Since the Douglas plant is located in Maine Township and since the' school has been intrumental through the VEND edu- cational program in training several thou- sand aircraft workers during the past year, it is particularly fitting that Maine High should have such a concrete testimonial to its part in the War effort.

EPARING FOR THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT Art classes spent busy weeks making scenery for the Christmas Pageant, which has become tra- onal. The set for the variety show in April was another project of these students.

Administration and Faculty Theyiee the ones who make the wheels go 'Pound . . What would school be without Mr. Legg's Don't you have a ninth period class? and without the perpetual line at Miss Parolini's desk? It's these little things, and others like them that will stick in the minds of the students. The actual teach- ing to Which they were exposed will soon give way, in the students' memories, to the club sponsoring or coaching of their favorite faculty members. At work and at play, the faculty are always there to give friendly guidance, and, you know, they're really quite human.

Administrative . . In the three years that Superintendent Holmes has been at the helm of Maine Township High School, he and the Board of Education have made many changes for the better. Among these accomplishments, Mr. Holmes looks with special pride to the im- provements in the school's curriculum. He feels that education is the prime function of any school, frivolities must be secondary to the real task of helping young people meet problems of the constantly changing world. To do this, the school must be the educational center of the entire community, and in the post-war world the scope of its influence should not be limited from eight in the morning to four at night, or to a bare nine months of the year. Modern educa- tion, says Mr. Holmes, must provide a co- ordinated program whose purpose shall be educating youths and adults for a fuller life in a better world. Other additions are the excellent gui- dance program, the new plan whereby each teacher plays an important role in determining general school policies, and the commendable improvement of our fin- ances. Mr. Holmes likes also to think of how Maine's evening classes, with sixty to a hundred full or part time teachers, have trained more than ten thousand Douglas workers in the last fifteen months. MAIN OFFICE FORCE Surrounding M a r t h a Hendrickson, secretary to the superintendent. are Roberta Phar, book room clerk, Frances Manteuffel, bookkeeperg Jane Mueller, receptionist: and Ethelyn Sullivan, VEND secretary. V , f i Officers. In the future Mr. Holmes and the Board envisage' a building expansion, keeping utility and cost constantly in mind. Useful- ness must never be sacrificed for whims of architecture. More class rooms, new and better shops, an auditorium, and a new cafeteria - these are some of the' things in store for Maine, and with such able lead- ership at the top, we can feel sure they will come quickly. Dignity and quiet humor characterize Mr. C. L. Legg, assistant superintendent. and his way of blend- ing business and bits of pleasantry together has made him a personal friend of every student. Mr. Legg earned his A.B. degree at the University of Al- berta, and has A.M. degrees from both the Univer- sity of Michigan and McMaster University. BOARD OF EDIQCATIUN Left to right-Morris E.

Parriott, who has completed his third year as director of personnel and sponsor of the Boys' club, received his B.A. at Penn State Teachers College and his M.A. at the University of Ne- braska. Way down where the yellow slips grow and the excuses flow thick and fast is that student rendezvous of Maine, the person- nel office. If one stood in its doorway long enough, one would see every Mainite, from the smallest freshman to the tallest senior, take his turn at the crowded counter or slip into one of the conference' rooms. For the personnel office is the nerve center of the school. It is here that every student has his program mapped out by a conusellorg it is here that he turns for in- formation and guidance. To the senior it DEAN OF GIRLS Miss VVilladell Allen, who re- placed Miss Louise Wood as dean of girls last fall, has degrees from Knox College and Northwestern University. She also sponsors the Girls' Club and teaches classes in Dramatics II and freshman orien- tation. is the place to go for the latest information on the draft, for help in selecting a suitable college or in getting his first job. But the personnel ofice is also 'the place where the student who forgets about school rules learns that the counsel- lors must lay the line somewhere in pro- tecting the law-abiding majority from the noisy and irresponsible minority. One who has been through the mill offers this bit of advice to restive colleagues: If you're gonna ditch next period, don'tg you ain't got a chance, chum. Department. . . Hub of student life UNDERCLASS COUNSELLORS Mr. Franklin R. Lindquist and Miss Lulu Mae Johnston, shown right, receiving excuse requests, counsel freshman and sophomore boys and girls, re- pectively. Mr. Lindquist, a committee member of Maine's Community Lectures, is also kept busy with fresh- man orientation classes and sponsoring all assem- blies. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Northwestern University. Miss Johnston's duties include sponsoring the junior class and the French Club. After completing her A.B. requirements at MacMurray College for XVomen, she studied at McGill University in Mon- treal, Canada, and at the Sorbonne, Paris.

Some of its members con- tinue their schooling, for which they have received an excellent background, at col- lege, and others use their secretarial or technical courses to get jobs.

J Spahn and Miss Lulu Mae Johnston, sponsorsg and Isla Kin kade, treasurer. Seated: Clarence Herbst, vice-president, Marilyn Nielsen, secretary, Les Houser, president. We are, indeed, the chosen class. VVe've been around long enough to get properly sophisticated, and yet still have the most interesting year, the senior one, to look forward to. And are we looking! Phrases like, When I'm a senior I'll cer- tainly do that! or, Gee, isn't it wonderful the way seniors never seem to have home work? keep running gaily through our heads, and form an important part of our conservations. But don't get the idea that we didn't enjoy last year. Why, with all the dances, and sponsoring this and that, we hardly had time to breathe'. And, as seniors, we'll be even greater. Ralph Brunt.

Mr. Har- old Markworth, the other sponsor, is not pictured. We're the in between class. We're too big for freshmen, and not fresh enough to be juniors. But, all kidding aside, it's been a nice year. We elected as class offi- cers Bob Tolf, presidentg Pat Cafferata, vice-president, Mary Jane Behlke, secre- taryg and Jacqueline Janko, treasurer. And then, in our spare' time, we managed to dash off a swell class party. Along with good mu- sic, we had an entertaining contest to pick the best girl singer. Ann Brodie won. In fact, even without the formal fun, this would have been a wonderful year if for no better reason than that we were sopho- mores. But just watch our stuff next year.

FRESHMEN 59 Activities and Organizations . The spark of student life at Maz'ne . . Throughout the year, Maine offers a well-rounded activities program, designed to provide a place in student life for every anxious Maineite. From the first Yea Maine of the football season 'till the last strains of Pomp and Circumstancen fade away, Maine students are out there having fun and helping the school. The joiners are offered anything from the various athletic teams to language and math- e'matics clubs, and it is those who have taken advantage of this opportunity who will long remember the good times they had at dear old Maine.

All were taken on Homecoming Day. Upper left and lower right photos by Max Levy. . ri h ,mt l 'X ,441 fl iw? rm Maine's Football Teams . At Maine four squads are entered in football competition every year, including heavy and light weight varsity teams and heavy and light frosh-soph squads. This system is one reason for Maine's not too impressive record on the gridiron in recent years, but it also has the advantage of widening the scope of competition. More than 150 boys had a chance to play the game last fall. By offering only one field of competi- tion, any school of Maine's size could de- velop stronger single teams but would de- prive many aspiring youths of the chance they need. Varsity Heavies A i . 3. i f Varsity Lights YVhile Coaches O. K. Wilson and Kenneth Olson look on, the senior heavyweights get ready to scrimmage.

Frosh-Soph Champion Runners TRACK Strong track and cross country teams are traditional at Maine. This ye'ar's track squad has made an excellent showing con- sidering the large number lost from the 1944 team which won the conference and finished second in the state. Only two seniors, Cyril Morris and Bill Erickson, competed. Bill Was an excellent high jumper and hurdler, While Cyril ran the mile. Outstanding fellows included Bob O'Brien, sophomore sprinter, who com- peted against the best 100 and 220-yard dashmen in the' region, Jim Saunders, Joe De Falco, Chuck Knudsen, and Lloyd Hood, who ran well every distance from 100 to 440 yards, Jack Burgess, sophomore pole vaulter who reached 10' 6 g Corky Tran- tin, broad and high jumper, Ralph Davis in the 880, Bob Clark in the low hurdles, and Bill Hug, freshman miler. CROSS COUNTRY All... CROSS COUNTRY Maine's Harriers were dethroned this year as conference champs but proved themselves superior to every team they met with the exception of La Grange. The El Tee boys beat Maine by 14 points in the conference meet. In addition to victories over Palatine, Evanston, and Riverside, Maine was the victor in a four-Way meet over York, Riverside, and Glenbard.

This year's Heavyweight basketball team was an outstanding example of what teamwork and fighting spirit can accom- plish. Led by seniors Dick Dohnke, who rated honorable mention at center on all-state, and Bill Barkell, an excellent team man and rebounder, Maine put together a team that finished second in the conference with eight wins and four losses. Corky Trantin and George Paynich worked at the forward postg and George Tomich was Barkell's mate at guard, with the Mihelcich brothers, Norm Olson and Dick Kamins filling in as reserves. VARSITY HEAVYVVEIGHTS The Lights began to click about the middle of the seasong and at the finish they ranked with the best teams of the confer- ence, although they wound up in a tie for sixth place with La Grange.

Girls' sports at Maine are carried on through the physical education classes and the G.A.A., which has the largest active membership of all clubs in school. The girls are busy with one sport or another all year. In the fall they play field hockey, and when the snow begins to fall, they move into the gym to try their hand at basketball, volley- ball, and tumbling. In the spring the girls are' out again, playing baseball among the dandelions. High points in this year's activities were the playday on October 21 at which the G.A.A. entertained guests from four neigh- boring schools, and the water ballet held in conjunction with the annual open house and exhibit on May 18.

Changes in content, make-up, and style of this year's PIONEER resulted in a much improved school newspaper. These improvements were made possible by the addition of a journalism class to the regu- lar curriculum and a linotype to the equip- ment of Maine's print shop. In the journalism class, the staff learned the wrongs and rights of good newspaper reporting. They learned about interviews, features, editorials, and columns. They learned how to make up pages with an eye for balance and uniformity in appearance in addition to learning the technique of good headline' writing. For two weeks the journalism class in- vaded the print shop after hours seeking the feel of printer's ink. It was then that they put out an issue by themselves. The journalists refer to it as a never-to-be-for- gotten experience.

No longer is it ours to laugh and chat over, work over, worry over. We have nursed it along for eight months liberally sprinkled with mishaps like Helen's broken ankle and Bruce's quarantine with scarlet fever, broken cameras, and critical shortages of all kinds. Many of you have noticed our Jack- in-the-box photographer at assemblies and social affairs. Well, here's your chance to see if his camera caught you or your friends. That is why we put out this book - to give a representative picture of life at Maine as lived by YOU. STAFF Editor .....................................,................

This year's Student Council headed by Bill Barkell and Shirley Koester carried on the usual action-packed program. At the beginning of the year, our Coun- cil presented the annual Kick-OH' Dance and was host to the Northwest District con- vention of the Illinois Association of Stu- dent Councils. Norm Olson, a member of the' execuntive board, served as president of the Northeast District and also as presi- dent of the state association. Mary Martha Vance, a Council representative, was elect- ed treasurer at the Northeast district con- vention held at Maine' in the fall. During the year the Council introduced class dues to the student body, abolished the old Victory Corps and sets up the new Service Corps to take its place, helped to e'stablish the Athletic Board, and complete- ly revised the constitution. EXECUTIVE BOARD The executive board reserved the art tower for business meetingsg the Council conducted a straw vote on the national election and restricted the number of offices any student may hold. Officers from our Council attended two meetings of the West Suburban Student Council Association this year. These meet- ings are the newest attempt to foster intra- conference relations. Next year Maine will be host to the fourth such event. During the annual campaign and elec- tion week in March the Council made re- vised plans which placed greater emphasis upon the candidates' platforms and speeches. At this time Gordon Nelson and Marilyn Nielsen were elected to se'rve as president and secretary for 1945-46. -Zi Back row: Richard Schmitz, Dick Funk, Howard Maclay, Kay Sanders, Kathy Lockwood, Hope Hall- berg, George Eastman, Betty Kwasny John Burgeson.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Elected by the faculty on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service, our National Honor Society mem- bers are not content to be merely honor students. They are' one of the most active service groups in school, taking the lead in stamp and bond sales and acting as ushers for the Maine Community Lectures. A student here can receive no higher honor than to be taken into the Society during his junior year. Before this year only five juniors were thus honored an- nually. Present seniors in this group are Art Anderson, Barbara Behlke, John Bur- geson, and Kay Sanders. New juniors .in- clude Marva Robins, Jim Mille'r, Gordon Nelson, Wendell Bark, Eleanor Schmidt, Barbara Teeman, Jean Kenny, Martha Wy- song, Delores Scheer, and Molly Goddard. HISTORY HONORS At the end of the first semester, each American history teacher selects the five best students in his class deserving the coveted Certificate of Merit. These certifi- cates are then formally presented at the annual history banquet in February. In ad- dition, the students to be sent to the Boys State and Girls State Citizenship camps are electe'd from this group. This group, includ- ing most officers of the history club, mem- bership in which is open to all history stu- dents, is shown below.

There Is Room for A11 . THE GIRLS' CLUB When she enrolls at Maine, every girl automatically becomes a member of the Girls' Club, an organiaztion which fosters friendliness and democratic comradeship among all girls. While most of the Work of the club is carried on by the officers and home room representatives, every girl is equal in voting power and privileges. The past year has been a successful one, bringing to Maines students, faculty, and parents a number of smooth social events. Early in the fall each senior girl had an opportunity to entertain her favorite' teacher at an afternoon tea. Later the girls sent Christmas stockings to alumni in the armed forces, made thousands of bows for the annual Hairbow Week, and entertained their fathers on Dads and Daughters Night. In February the Girls' Club made ar- rangements for representatives of 30 or more colleges to consult with interested upperclassmen and parents during College GIRLS' CLUB OFFICERS Busy with decorations for the Christmas dance are Cliff Nelson, social chairman: Chuck Pearce, treasurerg George Eastman, presidentg Mr. C.

THE BOYS' CLUB To create good will and brotherly love among the eight hundred boys at Maine is the purpose of the Boys' Club. Every year this club produces an un- beatable Christmas formal. This year's dance, called Holiday in Snow, featured a canopy of stars over a snow-covered and evergreen bedecked courtyard. Clubs for Fun, Friendship, Knowledge Club life at Maine is extensive and varied. There are clubs designed for fun alone, such as the Mounted Mainites, while others, like' the math and language clubs, pro- vide a well-balanced combination of fun and learning. There is not a single person at Maine who isn't eligible to join one of the many organizations offered, and there' are few students who, in the course of four years, do not take advantage of this oppor- tunity. Almost every noon there are announcements about meetings and other club activities, and almost every afternoon, the members of these clubs can be seen scur- rying around the halls or conferring behind closed doors. Yes, clubs are a big thing here at Maine, for fun, friendship, and knowledge. '45 CLUB The '45 Club is a social and service or- ganization open to all girls in the senior class.
