Miss Phyllis Doty The 1945 Senior presents two typical OHSers, Herbert and Maybelle, who were first introduced to the student body and faculty at the pep assem- bly before the L-P football game last fall, ap- peared again at the yearbook assembly, and who were chosen by the staff to wander through this annual and examine OHS life and times. They come in at the beginning of the book be- wildered freshmen and leave as poised seniors, ready to challenge the world, and, in turn, to be challenged by the world. They gather in the pas- sageway with “the gang” to talk things over; meet teachers in their classrooms; Maybelle is an “eager beaver’ in extra curricular activities, while Herbert becomes a good athlete; and at last they march solemnly into the auditorium to re- ceive the diplomas that put an end to four years of work and fun. To these two and all other students like them we dedicate this—The 1945 Senior. j i The 1945 Senior Published by the Senior Class of Ottawa Township High School Ottawa, Illinois and CORRIDOR CiAT LER oO THE FACULTY Without our faculty we certainly would not have covered the history of the ’44-’45 school year. They are part of the “gang” as much as that new freshman or that ancient senior. We owe a great deal to them, not only for the knowledge they have tried to pass on to us, but for all the swell things they have done for us. We won’t forget them, and we hope they will have a memory or two of us. Thanks a million for everything. FACULTY Mr. H. D. Anderson, Principal T seems only yesterday, in point of time, that you were freshmen. Each day glides into tomorrow almost unnoticed and high school into college or a job with no observable change in the tempo of life. Each lesson and each adventure leaves its imprint upon your personality, for you are the total of all your experiences. You cannot take any out. The Carpenter of life must use all. He works with rare skill. Out of hardships and suffer- ings are fashioned sympathy, understanding, and the will to drive to nobler achievements. No construction can be done without effort, and usually the longer the pull to a worthy goal the more beautiful the reward. It is always of great concern to those of us who devote all our efforts to youth to see individuals squandering their time at the “trinket stands” and “cheap spots” along the way. Few classes have experienced the insecurity and destruction that have crowded your high school period. War, high wages, unusual demands for your labor, friends and relatives in danger zones, and many other influences have obscured your view ahead. Those of you who are graduating have met these problems and carried on your school work. You have grown in stature and in ability to use the many talents that God gave you. While time has made the period seem short, I observe many changes in your personality that have come to you because you have stayed in high school. The course of life is short. You must be ready at the crack of the gun and keep driving if you win respect and satisfaction. The “novelty stands” and “short cuts” to happiness are everywhere to tempt you from your course. Many will stop. What will you do? I hope you have learned to live happily and efficiently, to give and take in the struggle to make a better world, to give generously of your talents that you may store up treasures in the civic and private life about you.

If nothing more can be gaid fcr the accomplishments of the Biology club, it should be known that the club has developed some of the best chess players in OHS history. C. J. Alikonis, biclogy instructor for the past eleven years, is the club sponsor. No officers were elected; instead, a system was set up whereby program committees were chosen for each Thursday evening meeting. Projects carried out to completion during the school year included the Fall Festival dance, the annual Christmas hike, and an intense study of entomology. Science Club Under the sponso rship of Miss Mildred Morgan, the Science club again had an interesting year. The meetings were held in 201, but, contrary to previous years, few trips were taken. Experiments were performed at each meeting by the students. Parties were held at Christmas- time and on Halloween, and when spring weather prevailed, several picnics were held. Officers for the year were Bob Coats, president; Donald Gottselig, vice-president ; William Mon- heim, secretary; Louise Mumper, treasurer; Edna Fraine, reporter, first semester; Felix Loeb, sec- ond semester reporter. The program committee for the semester consisted of Marge Dekreon, Shirley Halterman, and Philip Larsen; second semester: Gene Bartlett, Don Gottselig, Sh irley Halterman, Philip Larsen, and Bob McClelland. 23 Home Economics Club Numbered among the most active OHS clubs is the Home Ee club. Along with its regular meetings, the club had a swimming party, a picnic, a hike, and two dances. The first dance was held in “Santa’s Swing Shop”, right after Miss Bradford’s senior plays. The other dance was the May Formal, with music by Billie Waite’s orchestra and a glamour atmosphere. Not all the Home Ee club’s gatherings were frivolous, for the fifty members, under the direction of Miss Elsie Norris, filled many Red Cross boxes. Club officers this year were: president, Dorothy Cunico; vice-president, Marjorie Woodward; secretary-treasurer, Mary Cunico; program chair- man, Rosalind Perry; social chairman, Dorothy Swanson. Pep Squad Presenting the noisiest club in school—and proud of it—the Pep Squad. Founded in 1935, under the sponsorship of Miss Glo Wilson, the group this year marked the tenth anniversary of their organization. And, as it should be in such a gala year, membership hit a new high, with 180 girls joining the club activities. Club officers this year were Pat Leamy, president; Laurie Ann Scherer, vice-president; Barbara Hoxsey, secretary-treasurer. To the games each member wore her white hat with the red mono- grammed letters—OHS—on the top of it. The Pep Squad gave .a dance just before Easter vacation, during which Barbara Hoxsey and Laurie Ann Scherer presented Mr. Anderson with a five feet by three feet service flag for the school. Junior Red Cross The Ottawa High School chapter of the American Junior Red Cross, an agency through which the young people in America can help youth abroad, had another busy year. Thirty-three gift boxes were sent out this year. Miss Norris’ home management classes made fifty-five ditty bags for servicemen in hospitals, and fifty-five wash cloths were also purchased by the JRC. Mr. Willy’s classes made game kits. In addition, forty collars were given to the Red Cross children’s fund. Mrs. Frances McMillan, school nurse and JRC supervisor, commended the help given the organization by the faculty and students alike this year. Officers were: Presidents—Marge Hilpipre, Dede Godfrey ; vice-presi- dents—Jane Gay, Barbara Hoxsey ; secretary-treasurers—Phyllis Gerding, Reba Nelson; historians—Ken Fry, Marilyn Schultz, Nancy Laskow. Rifle Club The Rifle club, affiliate branch of military, and under the sponsorship of Ben Park, completed another instructive school year, during which fifty OHS boys received shooting training. Heading the student instructors was First Lieut. Bill Lockhart, with Second Lieut. Fred Roesler as his assistant. Other instructors were T 5 Lloyd Cole and Sgt. Bill Brooker. The shooting range is located in the room at the rear of the cafeteria, where four targets were available to those practicing on marksmanship. 27 Art Club Art club members worked to enjoy their organization. During the win- ter months the group, under the guidance of Mrs. Riva Hoff, discussed modern art, types of prints used in making Christmas cards, and painted still life and original compositions. These activities were climaxed with a bobsled party. With the coming of spring the members turned to individual studies, which included outdoor sketches. The club started off with.a bang with the second annual Sadie Hawkins Day dance. This year OHS joined the Chicago Galleries association, which provides the school with a different painting each month. The Art club pays the transportation expenses of these paintings. The club also contributed to- ward the purchase of an original water color by Mrs. Helen Gapen Oehler, former OHS student. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: William Hossack, president ; Dorothy Chase, vice-president; Elaine Richards, treas- urer; Robert Yocum, program chairman. Spanish Club El] Circulo de Espanol—-the Spanish club—under the sponsorship of Miss Mary Jane Mess, is in its second year. The main event of this year was “El Mocambo’’—the Spanish club dance, on January 23. During the festive evening gay caballeros, Stan Boe and Ken Fry, serenaded a lovely senorita, Tillie Alvarado. A dashing toreador, Bill Klee, fought the ferocious bull, composed of Ken and Wen Anderson. Angela Galvan impersonated Carmen Miranda. Los alumnos de Espanol had a picnic at Buffalo Rock in November, and in the spring, and before Christmas they devoted several meetings to work on Christmas cards to be sent to an orphanage in Mexico. Civic Council Every Tuesday afternoon at 3:20 Civic Council members gathered in room 504 to plan a program of improvements for school and students alike. If an inventory of the Council’s activities were taken, a great many worth-while projects would be listed. As in past years, the Council sold war stamps and bonds through the home room representatives. Each room door wore a placard advertising the percentage of war stamps purchased the month previous. On December 11 the Council launched a magazine subscription cam- paign to finance the building of a Pirates’ Den. Not enough funds were garnered for the building of the proposed school recreation center, how- ever, but a coke bar was installed in the rifle room, off the gym, instead. The Council also took charge of introducing the freshmen and their parents to the faculty and student body at the annual freshman tea in the f all. In addition, the Council sponsored several dances, inaugurating the policy of admittance to school dances by activity card in the second semester. The chairmen for the year were John Elzer, Howard Gladfelter, Dick Kichelkraut, Dorothy Swanson, Bill Pierson and Pat Leamy. The secre- taries were Jean Dougherty for the first semester and Rosemary Mitchell, second semester. Highwaymen—Cheer Leaders The Highwaymen, serving Ottawa High school students at dances and assemblies for their third straight year, were just as sweet and solid as ever when they made their 1944-45 debut at the pep assembly before the L-P football game. Members this year and the instruments they played: Bob Carr, saxo- phene; Lewis Olm:tead, sax and clarinet; Tay French, sax and clarinet; June Norem, clarinet; Delores Drinen, clarinet; Bill Klee, trombone; Howie Gladfelter, trombone; Jimmy Kirkman, trumpet; Norman Peters, cornet; Harry Troup, trumpet; Jack Mohler, piano; and Phil Dierstein, drums. Ralph Bowermaster also helped out on several occasions with the bass horn. ome oot Yeah, red! Yeah, white! You’re right, we are presenting the cheer- leaders, of which there were five this year. Dorothy Swanson, senior; Jean Dougherty, senior; Jean and Jane Lewis—the red-headed twins—just try to distinguish them——and Joan Ahearn. This year the girls had new uniforms. ‘Swanie” received her letter with the three bars, denoting three years as cheerleader. Jean Dougherty is a veteran of two years, and the twins and Joan are new this year. Band The Ottawa High School band, directed by Art Hentrich, had as its seasonal climax the annual band concert, May 10, in the auditorium. Be- fore that they had appeared on foot and in formation at the football games, and rallied OHS fans to the cause from the west end of the gym ae basketball season. Practice sessions were held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday duce the first hour, and extra practises in the evening.

Hoff. The OHS orchestra made its big appearance on March 16, however, at the annual Orchestra-Glee Club concert. Members who turned out at eight o’clock each Tuesday and Thursday morning for practice include: Violins: Warren Klugman, Gordon Lowry, William Ullrich; flutes: Peggy Pool and Joan Hitter; clarinets: Wayne Butterfield, Taylor French, June Norem, William Shaw, Juanita Zenor; saxophone: Lewis Olmstead; cornets: Robert Coats, Esther Kelly, Henry Leander; French horn: Jean Guilbert; euphonium: Nan Hutchings; trombone: Russell Kilgore; piano: Barbara Irwin; harp: Joan Hitter; drums: John Baietto; xylophone and tympani: Shirlee Blake; chimes: Wayne Butterfield. 33 Boys’ Glee Club + 1 eee See = rc eer imei The Boys’ Glee club, although small this year, nevertheless developed into a finely blended organization—precise in tone and easily harmonized— and scored a hit with the audience at the combined Orchestra-Glee club concert on March 16. A far cry from previous years, only twelve boys, thirteen with Accom- panist Wayne Butterfield, were enrolled, but it gave Director John L. Hoff a better chance to work with each boy individually. Members were Gene Bartlett, Don Grobe, Robert McClelland, Arthur McCoy, Jack McGill, Lewis Olmstead, Norman Peters, Robert Reischauer, Paul Sheedy, Joseph Srsnick, William Ullrich and Marty Wilhelm.

In appreciation to Mr. John L. Hoff, their director, for bringing them into being, the six girls brought back an “A” rating, a performance which they repeated this year. The girls sang between the senior plays on December 1, and caroled throughout the corridors the day before Christmas vacation. They also gave a fine performance at the Orchestra-Glee club concert. The members of the sextette are: Charlotte Harrison, Helen Fitzgerrel, Lurleane Van Cleave, Gloria Sanderson, Beverly Peterson, Mari- lyn Gerding, and Barbara Irwin, accompanist. ce ee Climaxed by the annual Orchestra-Glee club concert, March 16, the Girls’ Glee club completed another successful year under the direction of John L. Hoff. During the year the group made several new bylaws which, in the course of events, proved very worth-while. Membership was large again this year, and there were twelve new Barbara Peck served as members added, to make a total of forty-four. accompanist.

Leckrone, assisted by a capable student officer staff, went on unperturbed to build up one of the best organizations for many years. With the help of Lieut. Col. Harry Stelling and Majors Stan Boe and Dario Lencioni, the military organization was split into three companies, comprising the battalion, so that a change in state law could be fulfilled. Two competitive drills were held during the year. The fall exhibition was held November 29. The Drum Corps and the First Platoon of Com- pany A tied for honors. The annual spring review was held May 28 on King Field. Besides Lieut. Col. Stelling and Majors Boe and Lencioni, the following commissioned officers were in charge of the companies and platoons: Company A: Captain Bill Van Trigt, First Lieutenant Ed Ryan, Sec- ond Lieutenants Roy Miller, Fred Dunlap and Frank Mulholland. Company B: Captain Bob Steer, First Lieutenant Paul Weiss, Second Lieutenants Tom Waldron, Bob Hilton and Jack Wolslegel. Company C: Captain Henry Wolslegel, First Lieutenant Taylor French, Second Lieutenants Phil Dierstein, Bob Ness and John Elzer. Rare daerye ae 1) es BN pa pres Herve ee Drum Corps The Drum Corps, headed by Lieut. John Carroll, who took over com- mand when Lieut. Don Murdock left for the navy, again accompanied the Ottawa Cadet Corps in the numerous parades and exhibitions held through- o ut the past school year. Jack Butcher took over the drum majorship. The Corps, directed by Art Hentrich, had many new members the past year, and a major part of the first semester was spent in teaching them to play either the drum or the bugle. Besides their playing ability, the Corps members were also proficient in the manual of arms and marching. In the annual fall competitive exhi- bition they took first honors along with Platoon I of Company A. They again showed well in the spring review. Helping Carroll were two other officers, Lieut. Bill Hanson and Staff Set. George Eastman. Drum Corps members are: Ken Anderson, Bob Bond, Edward Burke, Jack Butcher, John D. Carroll, John M. Carroll, Alvin Eastman, George Eastman, Don Fiske, Mike Forbes, Al Fowler, Bob Gerding, Bill Hansen, Clifford Hess, Howard Kosnick, Nelson Medley, Jack McGill, Jim McGrath, Jack Moehler, Dale Rowlee, Bill Ullrich, Marty Wilhelm. 37 The Buccaneer Every other Friday OHS students romped to their various home rooms to pick up their copies of the bi-weekly Buccaneer, still smelling of printer’s ink | and full of news, right off the press. Miss Phyllis Doty, who succeeded Hard at it is the Buc staff. From left to right are LeMoyne Mrs James Brook as the advisor to the Grude. sports editor; Olga Dewhart, editor; Jack Butcher, ‘ news editor; and George Grover, sports editor. school paper and yearbook, had a Capa- ble first semester staff in Olga Dewhart, editor; John Varland, sports editor; Jack Butcher, news editor ; and Evelyn Olson, feature editor. During the second semester the sports editorship was taken over by George Grover and LeMoyne Grude when Varland left for Wheaton college. Hildegarde Fosse and Jean Carter took over the feature editor position. The rest of the work was handled by the two journalism classes. ee ee ee ee ee The Senior Nancy Anderson warns Yearbook Editor Ken Fry that if The 1945 Senior is to come out on June 7 everybody had better pitch in. Ken looks doubtful. If the yearbook assembly caused the student body to judge the yearbook staff a frivolous group, perhaps The 1945 Senior will help to correct the opinion. Contrary to the evidence presented at the yearbook’s Whisker dance, no fuzz collected on the members of th e staff. Editor Ken Fry had a staff composed of about ninety per cent girls. Stan Boe and Bill Thomas supported him. Photographer Russell Kilgore, assisted by Bill Stevens, first semester, and Alex Bower, second semester, bore the brunt of the picturetaking and darkroom work. The drawings were the work of the art staff, which included Helen Miller, Jean Carter, Hildegarde Fosse, and Shirley Henry. Editorial work and layout duties were taken care of by Nancy Ander- son, assisted by Pat Geschwind, Shirley White, Polly Jamieson, Mary Geiger, and Marilyn Schultz. Pat Leamy was business manager. Miss Phyllis Doty was advisor. Dances Dancing in the dark, tripping the light fantas- tic, stompin’ at the New Gym, dancing to the Highwaymen, or to the music of an “outside” or- chestra, was the same pleasure to OHSers. The Sadie Hawkins Day dance, sponsored by the Art club on November 10, drew a large crowd of Daisy Maes to haunt the side-line-hugging Lil Abners. Some of the gals captured their men, too, and were united in a mock wedding ceremony. Featuring the judging of the two-week-whisker- growing contest, the yearbook staff’s Whisker dance drew a large crowd one week later. A rogues’ gallery of bearded individuals formed the decorations. Just before the Thanksgiving recess the Biology club held their dance, at which they raffled off a turkey. And for the first-nighters who attended the senior class plays on December 1, the Home Ec club held open house in “Santa’s Swing Shop” afterwards. On January 23 the Spanish club entertained the student body at “El Mocambo’’. During the month of April the junior and senior classes sponsored dances to earn the funds for that smooth finale—the Junior-Senior Prom, held this year on May 29. But just three weeks before Prom, the Home Ec club brought out the annual May Formal, which limbered everybody up for the other big night. Last, but not least, was the farewell dance— the Exam Bust dance—the night before Com- mencement. The ’45 Senior made its appearance at this time, and there was more “Will you sign my annual?” than there was “Will you dance with me?” June 7—the night of hail and farewell. ee Assemblies Many assemblies were presented for the enjoyment of the student body during the school year. Starting off with a demonstration of the powers of liquid air, by John Sloan, the schedule was followed up by the Bohumir Kry] concert on Octo- ber 4. Kryl’s all-girl symphony orchestra, that is all but the bassoon player, who still has to shave every morning, played numerous classical numbers for both afternoon and evening performances. Perhaps the crowning assembly came on January 5, when the yearbook staff gave their promotional assembly. Editor Ken Fry emceed the assem- bly, assisted by Mary Geiger. Outstanding performances were given by Bob Steer et al., Marilyn Gerding and June Norem, who sang two of Marilyn’s original songs, and quite a stir was created by the duet of Don Murdock, now of the U.S.N., and faculty member Miss Phyllis Doty. Marilyn Schultz and “Doc” Palmer were ‘Maybelle’ and ‘“Hoibert’’, the theme of this year’s Senior. Mr. and Mrs. John L. Parson presented “Abraham Lincoln, the Man,” on February 27, dramatizing scenes from Lincoln’s life. An accordion concert was rendered March 5 by Iris Jeanette. Her sister served as accompanist, and during the program presented a xylo- phone solo. On April 12, the United Artists Opera company gave their version of Rossini’s hilarious opera, ‘““The Barber of Seville.” 41 Jenior Miss S. Isabella Sanders presented the students of her senior English classes in five one-act plays last November 21. Probably the best known play was the comedy Pack Up Your Troubles, a recent Broadway hit, which was presented by an all-male cast. The plot, dealing with army life, was ably enacted by Bob Steer, Stanley Boe, Ken Fry, John Varland, Bill Van Trigt and Taylor French. Overtones, a psychological survey of two women and their consciences, was nicely given by Doris Arthur and Velma Mumper as the two women, with Mary Jobst and Marilyn Schultz as their respective subconscious minds. Suspense was portrayed in the play Pearls. The plot centered around a pair of stolen pearls and ended on a dramatic note. Laurie Ann Scherer, Howard Gladfelter, Mary Geiger and Harry Stell- ing made up the cast. Definitely on the Henry Aldrich side was Elmer, the story of a typical adolescent youngster with a strong faith in justice and a definite dislike for his twin sisters. There was plenty of action, plus laughs, in this production, starring Phil Dierstein, with Pat Geschwind, Mary Gleim, Esther Kelly, Marcia Crawford, Barbara Dunavan, John Carroll and Russell Kilgore. Evening Dress Indispensable had its setting in England, and solved the problem of what to do with a problem daughter. The seniors who took part in that playlet were Orren Hillman, Olga Dewhart, Roberta Gurney, Bill Thomas and Bar- bara Hoxsey. ; Plays Thirty seniors of Miss Catherine Bradford’s English classes raised the curtains of the OHS auditorium on December 1 to present three one-act plays. Her second hour class gave The Right Answer, the story of a young man, enacted by Eldon Gil- james, who advertised through the newspaper for a wife and was driven almost to desperation when the replies to his ad presented themselves in per- son. Those women who got in his hair were: June Norem, Mary K. Carroll, Jean Svoboda, Pat Leamy, Henrietta Ernst, Pat O’Shea, Doris Griffiths, Bev- erly Prater and Alice Zucker. Student director was Charlotte Harrison; Marion Spohr and Nellie Rudnicky were prompters, and Ruth Bradish was in charge of properties. A combination of the second and fourth hour classes put on a play within a play, Dress Reversal. The all-male cast included Gordon Mathes, Lenard Pandolfii, Bill Meyer, Bob Norem, Jack Butcher, Bob Carr, Don Schlink, Hank Wolslegel and Bob Ness. Phyllis Schaubel and Lurleane Van Cleave were prompters, and Dorothea Stohl was in charge of properties. Time for Everything, of which the author said, “No character in this play is intended to represent anything human,’ was done by the fourth hour class. The play depicts a family whose two chil- ren, played by Marilyn Gerding and Jim Morsch, pretend the family is hard up, capture a burglar, and, in the end, land their father, Tom Waldron, a business promotion. Other students in the play included Dorothy Milligan, Bob Hilton, Glenn Mading, Roy Miller, Delphine Waggoner and Dick Saar. Phyllis Smith was student director, assisted by Catherine Pasini and Betty McGinnis as prompters, and Leah Duffield, who was in charge of properties. 43 ATHLETIGs bee el, Saet ee pat- ive. poses ate met can a - amt ep Dam A ah Bh nn rt EO ty Ms, ge Coach Homer G. Hankenson Football Ottawa High School’s hard-fighting Pirates ex- perienced a better-than-average year on the grid- iron, with many new stars coming to the fore as the season progressed. After losing their opener, 12 to 6, to their an- cient rivals, La Salle-Peru, the Bucs came back the next week to beat Streator, 12 to 0, and fol- lowed it up with a 20 to 13 conquest of Geneseo. A lackadaisical performance cost them a 13 to 12 heartbreaker at the hands of Hall Township, but the Pirates avenged the needless defeat the next week, soundly drubbing Dixon, 26 to 0. The worst trouncing of the season came at DeKalb, where they were routed, 40 to 6, by a superb DeKalb eleven that turned in its best per- formance when its championship hopes were threatened. The Bucs, nevertheless, returned home to defeat Sterling 19 to 14, and Rock Falls 27 to 0, in the last two games of the season, and to rank third in the final standings of the North Central conference. The varsity football squad—Left to right, bottom row: John Wolslegel, Darrel Shawback, Bob Nixon, Eldon Giljames, John Knutson, and John Suehr. Middle row: Bill Van Trigt, Bob Gardner, Emmett Baker, Dick Zuege, Kenny Wells, Dick Eichelkraut, Charles Whitmore, Bob Gerding. Top row: Coach Love, Coach Hankenson, Fred Dunlap, Ken Williamson, Ed Ryan, Don Clemens, Dario Lencioni, Stan Boe, Bill Doherty, Manager Bob McNamara, Harry Stelling, and Pete Furlong. 45 Fred Dunlap—This lanky sports veteran, a basketball regular in his junior year, tried his first hand at varsity football while a senior and gained a starting berth at end as the season progressed. Pirates in Action Dario Lencioni—All-conference tackle while a junior, and a regular at that position while a sophomore, “‘Moose’’ was shifted to fullback in his senior year, where his brawn offset the light backfield. Besides his fine defensive play, “J. R.” made numerous Buc touchdowns during the season, and was named to a tackle post on the all-conference second team. Harry Stelling—Starting at fullback in his junior year, Harry was placed at right half his senior year, where his high-stepping line plunges and expert blocking could be put to more advantage. Harry received honorable mention on the North Central All-Conference Robert Gardner—This husky tackle, who shifted to Seneca High school at the end of the first team, and made the longest 1945 touchdown run against Dixon, when he ran 75 yards to scor e on a pass-interception, semester, made his debut into the Ottawa High school football cirele as a senior, and promptly drew a starting tackle post. John Wolslegel—Also a newcomer to football. While a senior, Jack tried out for a guard spot, and was chief reServe for this position through- Bill Van Trigt—Also out for varsity football for the first time as a senior, ‘“‘Dutch’’ gained immediate distinction in the first game of the scason, against La Salle-Peru, when he scored the first touchdown against that traditional foc the first time since 1934. As the season pro- out the entire season. Jack’s fine play enabled him to see enough action to win a varsity letter. Stan Boe—This tall Norwegian also went out for football for the first time in his senior year, gressed he scored many other times and was and during the major part of the season was awarded honorable mention on the All-Confer- a regular end. , ence second team. n the Gridiron Eldon Giljames—A reserve end, ‘Gilly’ came out for football for the first time as a senior, and gained a varsity letter for his achievements, Ken Wells—Regular varsity guard his junior year, Ken will form a major part of the nu- eleus of next year’s team. Probably Ken’s greatest gridiron thrill came in the game against Sterling when he made a ‘‘freak touch- down” after grabbing Ed Ryan’s fumble to score. Don Clemens—Captain-elect of next year’s team, Don became one of the Pirate mainsprings as the season progressed, and his fine defensive play, as well as his wide-awake offensive capa- bilities, caused his teammates to name him head of the 1945-46 aggregation. Don won an All-Conference guard post on the first team, and made more touchdowns than any other guard in OHS grid history. 47 Pete Furlong—Now toting the ball for Sam, Pete was a regular end a major part of the season, and for his achievements varsity letter. Bob Gerding—Bob drew the center post at the outset of the season, and won honors at that position for his fine, steady play. Ed Ryan—Definitely the major football player developed at OHS in the past few years, Ed was shifted to left half from an end spot, after Bob Hilton broke his collarbone in the Streator game. Ed not only led Pirate scoring, but was an equally fine defensive gridder. At the close o the season he was elected the most valuable player by his teammates, and was the first to have his name inscribed on the plaque donated by the Lions club. He was also named to one of the All-Conference first team end poistions. The Pirate cagers, winding up with a 50-50 record, winning 10 and losing 10, showed that even though their ’44-’45 squad was small in stat- ure, as well as in number, speed and shooting ac- curacy play a great part in the “big boy” game. Led by stalwart Bill “Dutch” Van Trigt, the Pirate hoopsters rang up many impressive vic- tories, although several times they were igno- miniously downed by opponents hardly worthy of their steel. When basketball season opened, Guard Fred Dunlap was the only seasoned veteran on hand, being named, with Van Trigt, co-captain of the team. Ed Ryan saw some action his junior year and was promptly placed at the center position by Coach Hankenson. Stan Potter was slated to fill the other forward spot, along with Van Trigt, while junior Ken Wells, who will form the nucleus ' of next year’s team, was named to the vacant guard spot. Johnny Suehr, sophomore star, also saw a good deal of varsity action and probably will receive a starting spot next year.

The Pirate understudies, as the season progressed, showed well in every encounter, and a host of new sophomore stars will greet Coaches Hankenson and Love next fall when varsity training starts. The numbers 13 to 0 seemed to have taken a definite spot in the Jayvees’ affec- tions, for three wins and two losses had these numbers as their final score. The Jayvees scored triumphs over La Salle-Peru, Morris, twice over Streator and DeKalb, and lost to L-P, Morris, and Joliet twice.

However, the Pirates won their full measure of revenge against the perennial enemy, L-P, by trouncing the Red and Green thin-clads in the district meet, May 11, at Ottawa, by 214 points, to send Coaches Homer Hankenson and Gil Love and their squad to the state finals at Champaign for the second straight year. After winning their opener from Sandwich and Morris, and doing a similar job on Streator, the Bucs took an ill-fated jaunt to Granville, where they took part in a pen- tagonal meet, their main contender being Princeton. The Bucs won, but in so doing lost two regular performers for several of the following contests—Dario Lencioni and ‘‘Chuck” Whitmore. Both of these boys were available by the time of the district meet, and scored enough points to turn the tide in the closely-matched battle between L-P and Ottawa. Gym The gym program went all-out for action this year with a new four- hour-a-week schedule. Miss Maura Conlisk was in charge of the girls’ gym classes, and was assisted by Miss Betty Von Allman during the first semes- ter and Mrs. Hazel L. Wickliffe during the second semester. Mr. Gilbert Love joined the OHS faculty to share the boys’ gym classes and the coaching duties with Mr. Homer Hankenson. In addition, these two instructors managed the running-off of the intramural sports, which was done by platoons. The program was climaxed by the intramural track meet in the spring. G.A.A. was abandoned by the girls for the duration, and competitive meets between the classes were held instead. Another new angle was added when each class was divided into squads, with squad leaders who had monitor responsibilities. In addition, several of the girls’ classes were re- quired to fill out workbooks, which entitled them to one full credit. The girls climaxed their year with the annual gym exhibit on April 13. Swimming was also popular with the aquatic-minded students, as could be guessed by the splashes, the laughs, and the shrieks that arose from the pool each hour of the day. Several students took lifesaving after hours, and received badges. 53 As You Wende Top row, left to right: Doris Repka; Hart Fisher and Shirley White.
