In the past four years, the Class of 1959 has worked hard on many projects. Our athletic teams have won many honors and are looked upon with much pride. Much time has been spent on this year's Homecoming, Grad Hop, and Senior Class Play. Last year's Junior Class Play and Junior Prom occupied much of our time. Our time has been spent at work and at fun, things that will always bring happy and wonderful memories. This year we have had to decide whether to further our education or to strike out on our own into the world after graduation. Some of us will go to work and others will go to college. This and many other important decisions this year have helped us to mature toward adulthood. «2d. 0j 1 16 ANDREA ROSE ALEXONIS Athena; Business Ed. News, Ass't.

The class of I960 exhibited its sense of responsibility toward the building of a great tradition for our school through conducting successfully the two major projects it has planned for the school year; the Prom and the Junior Class Play. The Prom was a financial success for the class and certainly a most enjoyable ex- perience for those attending. A southern atmosphere was realistically and effectively created. It was, indeed, a credit to those who worked so hard on it for such a long period of time. The Junior Class Play was another unquestionable success. Many juniors showed their class spirit through trying out for various parts in the play. They also worked hard on many committee assignments. Mr. Charles Palmer, Junior Class sponsor and director of the play, certainly had reason to be pleased at the interest and enthusiasm displayed by the members of the class. The Junior Class as a whole, then, has displayed those characteristics which show that it will be able to carry well the honor of becoming the next senior class. They have shown a sense of responsibility, enthusiasm and school spirit. With these attributes, the class cannot help but be a great help in establishing sound traditions for our school.

We knew our teachers better, and we knew what to expect from them. We found that amidst our joy and fun, we now had a purpose in life. We began to work harder, and, believe it or not, we began to enjoy our work. A goal was ahead of us. Perhaps it was not a definite goal for all of us, but it was something to look forward to and to strive to attain. Yes, our sophomore years has brought us many things; maturity, a deeper bond to our school, and a better under- standing of ourselves.

The first day of school for us was one of fear and awe. As time passed, the fear gradually subsided, but the awe for the teachers and the largeness of the school still remained. The realization that the entrance into high school was accompanied by many responsibilities was complimented by enthusiasm and eagerness to work. We had much to give our new school, and we had much to learn about it. We gave it our fullest, and we found that the learning was fun. It made us a part of the school, and the school a part of us. We, as a class, are no longer outsiders looking in, we have be- come a necessary and wanted part in the mechanism of N.C.C.H.S.

TRACK Jim Woods Carl Lcpkc Ed Hodnik Last year, Coach Braden's team lost only one dual or triangular meet, and that was because he could not use the Hawks' full strength. Coach Braden also guided the team to a double victory, in the Lake County Meet against a highly touted Waukegan team, and in the Tri-County Conference Meet against a strong Palatine aggregation. Towards the end of the season, all the men who had competed in track that year were sad to hear that Coach Braden was leaving North Chicago. However, everyone was pleased to hear Coach Braden applaud Coach Babe'' Pierce, saying that he was the best track coach in the state. Coach Braden said this from experience ___________Jerry Oglesby______ Freddy Scott as he was tutored by Coach Pierce several years ago. Coach Braden then tried and succeeded in bringing Coach Pierce to the North Chicago scene. Coach Braden's final words to the team before leaving, other than the usual, Well done,” were to tell the team how great a job they had done during the past year, and that in the next year or two, they could emerge state champions. Then left a truly great coach from North Chicago who will further and better his coaching career in the Far West, and who will be remembered for a long time in this high school.

S ' s' Coach Ed Wood’s high-flying War hawks, always a serious threat for any team, soared to new heights during the 1958-’59 season. During the regular season, the Hawks emerged victorious in 21 of 23 games and captured their second consecutive Tri-County Conference title with a 10-0 record. The Hawks started off slowly this past season, winning their first two games by slim margins and then having their wings clipped at Highland Park. However, after the Thanksgiving vacation, the Hawks found their potential by dropping highly touted Elgin on the opponent's court. Adding a fitting climax to the first Bloom game was a 75 foot heave by Jerry Bernardi at the final buzzer which caromed off the backboard into the net. During the season, the rebounding of Bob Armstead, Jerry Bernardi, Dave Bolger, and Jerry Oglesby was outstanding, as was the ball handling of Alex Phillips and the aggressiveness and all around play of Wendell Hall and Maurice Guins. In the North Chicago Regional, the Hawks jumped off to a quick start in downing Lake Forest and New Trier. The championship game was the first time that rivals Waukegan and North Chicago appeared together in a varsity basketball game. The Bulldogs proved too much for the Hawks, who, though never ahead, never gave up. After being downed by sixteen points in the third period, the Hawks fought back to within three points of winning the game. The spirit of the Hawks throughout the year was that of victor)'. However, in each of their three defeats, the Hawks and their fans showed that they can be good losers as well as good winners. Although everyone wants to see his team win, there must be a loser. Therefore, the main theme of basketball, as in all sports and games, is good sportsmanship.

The team won Tri-County Conference honors with a 9-1 record. They won five games in the State Tournament before bowing to Maine, the eventual state champions, with a score of 4-3, in the last inning. The high point for the team was playing in the State Tournament and doing so well. Two records were broken during the year as Jim Gerzel batted a phenomenal .457 in leading the team to a .326 batting average as a whole. Bob Armstead Earl Herman BASEBALL L.

CLASS COUNCILS The 1959 Class Councils have been very busy this year. Their many duties included collecting class dues, working on concessions, the Grad Hop, and the Junior Prom. The officers and members have done an excellent job. These people, who have led the classes so capably throughout the year, deserve all the credit they have received and perhaps even more. The students of N.C.C.H.S. will forever be grateful for all they have done. 82 COUNCILS JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE—STANDING, left to right: Janet Froelich, Mr. Palmer.

The musical organizations here at North Chicago have done much to develop the cultural reputation of our high school. Throughout the course of the year, the A Cappella Choir and choruses participated in both a Christinas Concert and a Spring con- cert, as well as performing before various club groups in this area. Several small singing groups have also been formed in the past years under the aid and direction of Mr. Mc- Farlane. Through his efforts, the school’s vocal department has developed rapidly and should continue to progress throughout the days to come.
