Busant THE TROJAN BAND The band, which is composed of students of both the Junior and Senior High School, was active during the year under the direction of Mr. Clifford Juergens Sr. The band is sponsored by the Band Parents, Association. A series of four subscription concerts was given during the year, and music was provided at the home football and basketball games as well as at various school and civic activities. The band provides an opportunity for all students having an interest in instrumental music to ac- quire and develop skill in that field. Rehearsals are held two evenings each week during the school year and additional instruction is given to beginners on Saturday mornings. The band was originally organized as a school function in 1937 under the direction of music teachers in the school. In 1944 it was organized in its present form. During the current year the development of interest in the band by both parents and students has shown a marked increase, which has been reflected in the professional character of the organizationk productions. The band is financed by the sale of associate memberships, which carry the privilege of admission to the subscription con- certs. Additional funds are raised by the sale of advertising in the concert programs and by social activities sponsored by the Association. Continued development of the band is contingent upon the support given to the Association by the people of the community and by the activity of the students in the organization. The benefits derived by the students participating in this activity are many. Participation in the band provides a means of Obtaining musical skill and knowledge With a minimum of difficulty as well as providing a means of serving the interests of the school in an important extra-Curricular activity.

ANNUAL STAFF The Yearbook Staff began their work ambitiously but soon found their progress retarded by wartime restrictions. Supplies of paper, Film, metal for engravings and other essential materials used in the production of an annual were lacking entirelv or were available in only limited quantities. All this resulted in a condensed book. i The staff was organized with Bob. Lockwood as editor and Howard Rottinghaus as business manager and associate editor. So many students Were employed after school that it was difficult to maintain an efficient working force. Editorial adVisors were lliss Cobb and 111's. Roach; the busi- ness advlicsor was h'Ir. Thesken. Their great and needed help guided the staff in the publication of this boo . An important part of the production of the book was raising the necessary money to pay the bills for printing, engraving, and binding which amounted to about four hundred dollars for this book. To raise this money, the staff sponsored dances and a minstrel, They also sold candy, pop, and sandwiches at the football games. A great amount of credit must go to Howard Rottinghaus for his faithful effort to keep the staff together. Without his loyalty to the cause of a yearbook, you readers would not be enjoying this record of your school year. Bob. Lockwood. TROJAN CHATTER A school paper is about the most natural thing there is, the most typically teenvage. For in this publication is found all the udirt',g the school's athletic achievements, almost any kind of crazy column and even some serious thoughts hy the principal and superintendent. In other words, a school paper should be a combination of all thingsh-serious, funny, newsy, and entertaining. That is What this years Trojan Chatter Staff has tried to make the paper to be. The staff, selected by l'Iiss Ross, decided to have a monthly issue of the Chatter. That was eas- ier said than done, but throughout the year, the paper came out almost on schedule The date would be set for the sale of the paper. The associate editor, Carl Weis, and Jean Jester, editor, reminded everyone that his column was due. The reporters would smile and ask why the editors were getting so worked up. Leaving Carl to talk to them, the editor would hurry away to find Helen Elberg, the art editor, to learn her ideas for the cover and for illustrations. Then the search for the advertising managers, Jim l-Iatson and Forest Singhoff, to remind them about the ads would start. By this time, Dr. Cook was asked if held write an article for the paper. Then lVTr. Thesken was asked for his article and news Of the men in service. After Carl reported that the news editor, R'Iike Risola had gone to the Junior High about some news and June Elsner, the assistant editor, was beginning to write her hit, everything would ride for a week or so. Beginning about a week before the date of issue, everyone really worked. The Junior High news, Ruth Doldls fashion column, Kotsy Wirtzls sports news, Jane Burbaeherls HGuess WhoH and Pat Erbs, RAround the Clock , would he turned in While news was still being collected of Girl Reserve by Elaine Sehlewinsky and Audrey Wagner, and Hi-Y by Jim h'Ieyer, the stenciling Was begun. Now the mimeographing. At this point Lillian Harris and' Nlae Kitchof, with the help of Carl, ran off stencils as fast as they were finished. ' The business manager, Herman Alhaeh, worried over the amount of money spent, and Tony Arszman publicized the forthcoming issue. Now the paper was ready for sale. Howard Ankenbauer and Betty llichels, sales managers, would contact their list of HSCllEFS and the Trojan Chatter was distributed among the students. At this point, Shirley Glisson, the exchange editor, sent out the Chatter to other schools. Nlariy students proudly report the paper as good as any of those received in return. These were the monthly activities. Each isaue of the paper brought a modest profit which, when added to the profits fwm other years, Will Some day buy a printing pl'CSS for the school. So, looking back on eight months of publication; each staff member feels he has done his best. He has tried to give the teachers and students What they desired in a school paper. That's the way of the Trojan Chatter. Jean Jestezx igle
