Nothing to do since you are old and gray, Nothing to think of since you are miles away. So let's take a trip on memory's ship And sail to the by-gone day. Remember the old Mt. Morris High School Where you and I attended each day. Remember the classrooms, and the precious books, All your old friends, and your teachers' looks. Yes, now in a vision you can see the old study hall. The teachers and students, can't you picture them all? Those days are gone forever, I know, But in our memories, they will always glow. -Margaret Zumdahl 1 44 ,- - ' ' N 0' - ' s I Q f v I 1 , .. l l H I i Stull it .ll 4 if 1 X ix f ft :Ss an it i ll ff l 'ff ll uf!!

The Service Flag shows who sat here before, Who now are perhaps on some foreign shoreg They quickly responded to the nation's call, And have thought more than once of the old study hall. For it's more than a building, more than a room Where students just sit from morning 'till noon, It's the place where characters may rise or may fall. It's very importantfthis, our study hall. It's memories like these that make our life Worth all the care, work, and strife. So when you think of days gone by, Think of study hall at good old Mt. Morris Highf For it's here that our future is molded and madeg It's here that personalities brighten-or fade, And so we salute you, you above all Who train, guide, and teach usfour study hall.

The Mounder of 1944 iff FAREWELL if We of the Senior Class have spent four years enjoying the happiness that goes with high school days, and in the future we shall look back upon this school with esteem. lt is with enjoyment and expectation, not unmixed with a degree of regret, that we begin our new adventure in life. We know not what the future holds. Many will go into the service of our country, as other graduates before them have done. Some are destined for college, work in other towns, and work here in Mount Morris. We are beginning on a new venture, a business venture, to test what we have learned in this high school. Let us hope that we pass this big test of life. Let us hope that we can apply the principles, we have learned to the actual circumstances, for our teachers have been faithful to us in teachingg and we must carry out what we have learned to the best of our ability. 4, A . Perhaps we envy you Freshmen, for you have three glorious years ahead of you. Many of us might feel that we could have done better, but most of us have taken advantage of our opportunity for a good education. So we say farewell to the happiest and fullest days of our life. Farewell to you underclassmeng may you enjoy the rest of your high school days as we have enjoyed ours. Farewell to the faculty, who has guided and trained us for the future. Farewell to the school house, where we had many an enjoyable time at dances, banquets, and plays. We will miss you and think of you often, recalling all of the things which made our stay here worth-while and pleasant.

Towards the close of the season, however, they begin to spurt forward and won two games, against Polo and Amboy. The team and student body deserves commendation for the splendid way in which they took it on the chin and went back for more. Rousing pep meetings showed the team that it had the complete support and backing of the students, in spite of recurring disappointments. Those boys receiving major letters were Palmer, Krug, Shank, Bartow, and Ted Incontro. George Wagner was awarded a manager's letter. ik WILL YOU EVER FORGET- That terrific shiner that Hal received from Stuff, of Polo, in that eventful game that we actually won- The time that Shike got so flustered he made a basket for Morrison-the spectacular runs of Krug on the football fields- the amazingly touchy fingers of Dick Shank when it comes to shooting baskets--the triumph over our arch-enemy, Oregon, in football-the magic that caused jerry Allison to never miss a basket in the course of a game-the rousing cheer for Ted Incontro at his last pep-meeting and game before joining the Army-that sheepish, half-scared, half-proud look in the faces of the captains when called on to give a speech-the despair of Coach Ward over the losses of his team, which was quickly forgotten in a wreath of smiles when they defeated Polo- That terrific sleeper play that Shank used at Rochelle, to make us one of the few teams to score against them at all- The time that Palmer was hurt and lost his memory for several hours-the cheers the boys gave for Mr. Henricks when they learned he was a grandfather- The yell Contest- the threat of Coach Ward to appoint five girls to play basketball instead of the boys-the wonderful UQ way in which all the boys kept training-the initiation of a certain freshman boy one night after football practice- the M Club picnic-wow!-the hilarious initiation of the new M Club members at their dance- Those famous speeches delivered by Coach Ward at pep meetings-the enthusiasm and loyalty of the entire student body throughout the football and basketball seasons.

FOOTBALL Although the football season for the Mounders this year proved quite disappointing as far as scores were concerned, the school spirit and loyalty of the student body was maintained 100 per cent throughout the entire season. The boys made up for their repeated defeats by gaining a victory over Oregon, for many years one of our closest rivals. A forfeit from Amboy made the season's total two victories and four defeats. At the end of the season the boys elected Christie Krug as the most valuable player on the team and Harold Palmer honorary captain for the year. Major letter winners of the 43-44 football season included Harold Palmer, Christie Krug, Vincent Horst, Wayne Floto, Frank Billings, jim Rohleder, Dick Shank, john Bartow, Bob Gartner, Willie Incontro, Dan Neumann, Ted Incontro, Bill Messer, Ronald Feary, Hewitt Parkinson, and Bob Wright, managers letter. f34l ,cmmwr The Mounder of 1944 :xx 'op llr1w-Floro, P.lI4k1I15UI1.

The social events of the year included: a reception for all prospective new members, a Patriotic Dance, a Windy Party, a Sports Parade, the G. A. A. Home Economics Banquet, at which new members were initiated, a weekend camping trip at the Pines State Park, called The Ghost Outing, and a spring play day for G. A. A. organizations in surrounding' towns. One night each week the girls had a play period for such sports as swimming, hockey, volley ball, basketball, archery, and soft ball. The organization also entered the State Free Throw Contest. Four girls, Marjorie Yoder, Dolores Crocker, Margaret Brinker, and Evelyn Wible, repre- sented the club at the Northern G. A. A. camp at Lake Geneva last summer. Marjorie Yoder was awarded the state G. A. A. Emblem, Jean Lingel, Betty Hoffman, and Margaret Brinker received the first state award.

Tl-IE STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of the Student Council is to better student participation in extra- curricular activities and further co-operation between students and faculty. Besides general problems arising during the year, the Council tries to promote citizenship training and self-government, develop initiative and leadership among the studentsg and aid in the administration of the school. The Council sponsors school dances, and buys up-to-date records with the proceeds of these dances. Various types of entertainments come under the supervision of the Council, such as lyceum numbers, speakers, and assemblies. The activity room is the scene of ping pong tournaments, under the sponsorship of the Student Council. This year the tournament was under the supervision of Dick Shank. The Civics class has been selling war stampsand bonds at regular intervals through- out the year. This project was sponsored through the Council. A Senior Day plan was submitted by a member of the Council. This was the first time in the history of this school that such a plan was undertaken. The annual Big Brother and Sister Day was carried out again this year by the Student Council.. OFFICERS Preridefzz ............. i..,................. .,.i..i.

They help the cheerleaders in leading yells by cheering as a group with the rest of the student body. The new Pepsters: Bethel Avey, Betty Bartow, Marilyn Davidson, Madeline Evans, Dorothy Niklaus, Betty Manus, Barbara Marchant, Nellie Medlar, Dorothy Rowe, Mary Ellen Stengel, Maxine Yeakel, and Marge Yoder, as their initiation, gave a skit before the assembly. The Pepster club sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance, the first of its kind in the school, which proved to be highly successful. The Pepsters also held a Yell Contest with a prize for the winner with the best yell. The junior class members of the club gave a skit on basket- ball before the assembly. The traditional Pepster-Athletic banquet was another outstanding event. The Pepsters held try-outs among the boys for an additional cheerleader, and Bob Gartner was selected to help the girls, who were jean Lingel, jean Allen, Dolores Crocker and Margaret Brinker. The Pepster girls earned their money by sponsoring school dances and by selling candy and ice cream at football and basketball games.

The Latin Club has been very active this year, with a membership of over forty. The Roman banquet was held in February, and several other parties were given during the year. A peasant supper was also a highlight of the club's activities. OFFICERS President .....,............. ............................................ ....... .... .,.......

PRINCETON, ILLINOIS ik Producers ot F ine Printing Since 1847 iff Congratulations to the Class of '44 I51I Wk The Mounder of 1944 The Business 0 Kalrle Brothers Company is printing magazines, house organs, many kinds of publications, catalogs, and advertising matter by both the letterpress and rotogravure processes. LOCATION- Mount Morris, Illinois, a town of 2,350 population, 105 miles due west of Chicago, on the Burlington Railroad. CUSTOMERS-- Magazines and trade-paper publishers, labor organizations, religious and welfare bodies, fraternal societies, service clubs, business and professional groups, schools and industrial concerns. DISTANCE- Our customers come from all parts of the country, ranging from Boston and New York to Denver and the Pacific Coast. Distance is overcome by using every modem method of communication. Otfices are maintained in Chicago and New York, and are connected by teletype with the plant at Mount Morris. FACILITIES- Complete as will be found anywhere. In addition to the usual equipment ot a large printing plant we have an art department, engraving shop, electrotype foundry, mailing and shipping department, including the making-up and maintenance of mailing lists. Everything is under one roof and one control. BIG PUBLISHERS- ' A battery of nine web magazine presses, all printing two colors, three rotogravure presses, besides two-color flat bed and four and five color rotary presses for printing covers and inserts, provide facilities for maga- zines of large circulation. Mailing and shipping from a point so near both the geographical and railroad centers of the country also has its obvious advantages for periodicals with national circulation. MAILING LISTS- We handle the mailing lists for most of our customers. Ot the 8,000,000 names on file here, the majority are on Pollard-Alling stencils, a high-speed economical metal-plate system, but we are prepared to handle other types ol lists too. PAPER- We buy the paper for many of the magazines that we print. This is because the 12,000 tons required annually command a better price than the average publisher is able to get, and also because relieving the publisher of the necessity of tying up working capital in paper is a service that puts dollars in his pocket. GROWTH- The reason for such a large printing business being found in a small town twe employ over 800 people and pay out 51,500,000 a year in wagesl is that publishers, as well as other business men, go where they get the proper attention and where costs and other factors are in keeping with the demands of the times.
