The star performers made their Hrst appearance in the ring four years ago. A bit shaky during their first show. they have gained confidence in the continuance of their acts. It hasn't always been a circus for them. A great deal of practice and hard work was involved in obtaining top billing, but they have managed to keep the three rings going with feats of athletic prowess and mental skill. However, these big-timers have received their notice of retirement, to make room for newcomers to the sawdust circle . But their public appearance won't end with their departure from the Hbig top . We can expect to see their names in lights for solo acts on the world's stage for some time to come. They will give those incoming troopers some- thing to shoot at. But to those retiring We dedicate this yearbook. SEPTEMBER The doors swing in! -Freshmen buying elevator tickets like mad. -Everybody was feeling exuberant at the first pep assembly, at which the cheer- leaders and team were introduced to the student body. Jack Mohler played a boogie-woogie version of Caledonia , and, for once, it sounded good. Mary Lou Moran, Reba Nelson, and Colleen Reilly were forced to fiee their broken-down bus and take refuge in the bus with the varsity after the L-P football game. Drums and bugles mushroom within the band as the band makes it first appear- ance of the year. The fleet's in! Or rather, the LST 512 dropped anchor, and a duck dropped sailors and marines onto King field for a king-sized game of baseball. Hubba, hubba! And then there was Miss Irene Brewley, mountain monologist. -The first Buc made its appearance. Journalism class members were happy, anyhow. Oh, boy, it was murder! The Spring Valley football game, that is! OCTOBER GAA reorganizes. -The Pep Squad went wild as Johnny Suehr ran 76 yards to make Ottawa's only score against Dixon. Wump is welcomed back to the Buc. Who made off with the candy, cookies, and etc., from the Pep Squad picnic? Red Letter Day-no school! Many took advantage of the long week end to go places and do things-thereby missing the band's clock formation between the halves at the De Kalb game. -Where did the Anderson car o on the ' g way to the Spanish club picnic? At any rate, everybody raced back. -Remember the sly look on Mr. Ritzen- tha1er's face as he appeared and re-ap- peared, each time with a different in- strument 'Y -Edna Means should have been an all- school assembly-really amusin'. And for days after the posture check- ups, Bev Peterson went around saying very emphatically, I do not have a crooked spine! -The O club reorganizes. All mem- bers enjoy watching Dave Knutson's volleyball team trouncing Coach Hank's. -After the football game, at which a handful of Ottawa rooters out-cheered a stadium full of Sterling fans, a dance, which was enjoyed by the pool players, was held at the local Y. -The Trojan horse, which made its first appearance at the Latin club dance two years ago, reappeared from the recesses back stage at the pep assembly staged before the Mendota game. At the game that night Lee Grude got all tangled up in his microphone when he sighted the two girl sports reporters from the Mendota high school paper. Another point for woman suffrage! -Johnny Suehr elected captain of the '46 football squad. -Remember the day the Home Ec club initiates romped around the cafeteria in pigtails tied with green ribbons, sans makeup? They were formally received into the club at a picnic at Buffalo Rock in the evening. NOVEMBER -The Junior Red Cross began its annual membership drive. One of the JRC projects that occasioned much student interest was the afghan knitted by the students in Mrs. Hen- trich's home room. The Mooseheart game was called off be- cause of the polio threat. -The Civic Council reorganizes under the supervision of Mr. Willy. At the football picnic Mac , Pork , and Weisbrock-three babes in the woods-got lost. Mr. Hankenson ended up with a Charley horse, which every- body maintains was inflicted by the cheerleaders who were showing the varsity how to play football. -During National Education week many downtown store windows featured ex- hibits from OHS clubs and classes. We chose the history exhibit picture as a reminder that this school year saw the publication of Mr. Burke's book, The Ladder of History , written in collabo- ration with Upton Close. All the freshmen were on their best be- havior at the Council tea. The first time the student body has ever left the auditorium in anything less than a stampede was when Otto Schacht asked them to. Gilbert Love appointed head basketball coach. The Hep Squad commences-too bad they had such a short life. We noted Jack Armstrong's promotion to captain in the play There's One in Every Company . Other members of the cast included Mike Balint, now of the U.S.N., Ralph Hoyt, Bill Ullrich, Bob Lattimore, Louis Ohlendorf and Clarion Johnson. A three-part comedy, Will You Marry Me? , demonstrating the differences in proposals during different periods, was ably cast. The 1800's were pictured by Evaline Lewis, Margaret Ulrich, Ed- ward Smalley and Doris Madden. The Victorians were Ruth Bradish, Reba Nelson, Francis Withrow and Blanche Gagliardo. The moderns included Grace Coffey, Darlene Clark, and Felix Norman. The third play put on by Mrs. Dorothy Rotter's senior English classes was 'tEverything Nice , and the cast con- tained Wayne Harvey, Jean McLean, Helen Bennington, Virginia Roose, Mar- jorie Werner, Lorraine Corcoran, and John Highland. The Early Worm was the play chosen by Miss Ruth Corley's class. Included in the cast were James Kirkman, Phyl- lis Kling, Mary Thorson, Bill Vezain, Richard Shute, and Rosalie Gambo. Thanksgiving recess-and the turkeys wer'n't the only things stuffed by the 26th. What we were wondering was where all those identical vases came from in the play UNellie McNabb , which starred Mary Ann Gass, Patte Burr, Isabelle Irrgang, Ken Anderson and LeMoyne Grude. Hear tell the cast practiced right up to curtain time. All the boys ate lipstick that night. And didn't Patte Burr's cigarette make a lot of smoke backstage? A'Slip Ahoy , another of Miss Isabelle Sanders, plays, called for uniforms, as it took place in a barracks at Great Lakes. An all-male cast composed of Dale Rowlee, Dick Eichelkraut, Norman Sampson, Earl Riebe, Glenn Wiley, Vernon Drews, Dick Knott, Harold Mc- Cormick, Bill Shaw, Wen Anderson, Fred Johnson, Fred Tress, John Baietto, Dick Zuege, Bill Pierson, Ken Anderson, Jack Armstrong, George Chandellier, Bob Donahue, LeMoyne Grude, Paul Sheedy, Harry Troup, Don Clemens, and Darrell Shawback put on a realistic performance. To compensate, ten girls put on 'tWhat are You Going to Wear?,', a completely feminine play. In a variety of costumes were Joyce Pyle, Adele Barron, Marge Hilpipre, Mary Lou Moran, Shirley Brun- dage, Elda Johnson, Phyllis, Stevenson, Mary O'Connell, Peggy Pool, and Jean Cavanaugh, who gave out with a light bit of comedy. Peggy Pool, by the way, received an 'topening night telegram . Sugar and Spice , just like its title, was both sweet and tart. Taking the parts were Jane Gay, Jack Baietto, Hildegarde Fosse, Barbara Peck, and Bill Pierson. One of the most unusual plays of the evening was The Boor , starring Glen Wiley, Dick Eichelkraut, and Virginia Roose, all of whom did an excellent piece of acting. DECEMBER -The band came back from the festival at Dixon singing Three O'clock in the Morning , thanks to two blowouts. -Opening of the basketball season with La Salle here. Remember the sudden and unexpected appearance of the benches in the pas- sageway? They are conducive to study -but what kind? -Pointers for conduct on the road were given out by Sgt. Berlin, of the state police, and for days after the stock reply of the humorists was, I'm a fence post . -Seniors elect Clem Clemens, presi- dent, Phyl Stevenson, vice-president, Bill Pierson, secretary, and Dick Zuege, treasurer. -Eyes popped when Dot Chase and Adele Barron turned up at the Retailers party with two former Dixon athletes. -The week before Christmas was very gay, except for those victims of the flu epidemic and the Christmas extras who were all dragged out. Among the fes- tive touches were the Art clubys Christ- mas window in the front door, and the Christmas assembly, at which the glee clubs sang and Chaplain Merrill Powers spoke. -Our first peacetime Christmas in four years. JANUARY -The floor was slickg the music was goodg the decorations were Ucute at the Senior dance, but too many must have been recuperating from the Sub-Deb and other New Year's Eve parties the night before. -Afraid to miss the science trip to Chi- cago, twenty-five boys almost trampled the nine girls in their hasty attempt to get on the bus. -No test in physiography. Marilyn Weise, Cheryl Barton, and Gloris Atkinson really made the Strea- tor fans gasp with their acrobatics be- tween the halves of the basketball game. -The football boys felt themselves amply rewarded after the Lions club banquet. The yearbook staff' finally managed to sponsor the first all-school dance of the year. EXAMS-need we say more. And with the beginning of the second semester the Navy returns Mr. McKay and the Army gives back Mr. Propps to OHS service. -The seniors want to know where the freshman girls got that professional technique as demonstrated at the Hori- zon club's Hanwacipi dance. FEBRUARY Batavia, a newcomer to the OHS basket- ball schedule, takes an easy one from the Bucs. The Speech club returns to existence under Miss Heidingerls direction, and work is begun on contestants for the speech contests. If Mexico is as Chuck Ingold, Virginia Roose and Colleen Reilly demonstrated it in their Hoor show at the Ningun Chicle dance, no wonder Miss Mess re- turns to Mexico periodically. -With Kirby Todd as ringmaster , the Civic Council's t'Hard Times party real- ly went over with a bang. Why? Even the male walliiowers got away from the wall. -No school, thanks to Mr. Lincoln. The basketball squad played on empty tummies at De Kalb, due to a delay en route-blowout, to you. -Judging from the sqeals that came from the auditorium during the showing of Hold That Ghost , those that lugged the required fifteen pounds of paper for the Civic Council's paper drive found their labor worth while. -Cries of f'I,m stuck! resounded from the band room during the TB testing. -Bucs lose to Streator and lose out on the tournament. MARCH -Phyllis Stevenson receives the DAR award. The junior class elects Lewis Olmstead, Duane Palmer, Bev Peterson, Dede God- frey, president, vice-president, secre- tary, and treasurer, respectively. -The musicians brought back fifteen firsts from the music contest in Streator. -OHS joins the speechmakers, sending Virginia Roose, Duane Palmer and Bob Lattimore off to the contests. -Everyone liked the piano player, includ- ing Nan Hutchings and Dot Trent, who interviewed Piero Pierotic and his ac- companist backstage after the perform- ance, and came away with a firm deter- mination to learn to play better bridge. -Of course, just about every girl who had a plaid dress in her wardrobe chose to wear it the day C. E. Jones lectured on girls wearing plaids. -Remember Bobbie Peck's wonderful Rhapsody in Blue at the orchestra- glee club concert? -Former Hi hwa men reun to rovide 7 music for the Art club's Spring dance, after which the Civic council provided a feed for the boys. -The Civic council members knocked off a day to wash walls. Oh, my achin' back! -Girls' in exhibit Something new gy - was added-fifty-one colorful United Nations fiags. APRIL -Don't let us fool you! -A wonderful time was had b all at the Y Senior party, complete with scavenger hunt and food, entertainment and danc- ing later, with even the senior boys taking part in the latter pastime. -Davy Atom Smasher Knutson was in- troduced to OHS-a performer extra- ordinaire! But didn't anyone tell him campaigning wasn't allowed? Other hidden talents were revealedf 'YJ by the black-faced Dick Zuege, Don Clemens, and Duane Palmer. OHS won the Intramural Track meet. -Housing the Milliken university choir and orchestra was no problem for some people, namely, Tom Gerding, and Howie Kosnick, who took a couple of the girls out to the first shelter house. -Staff of the ONE and ONLY '46 Senior announced-Reba Nelson is made the unhappy editor. -A gala affair was the first Military ball held since the war-it even had Eileen Chalus going around in circlesg she made a wrong turn after the ball was over, and went through the wrong door as a result. -And 13th. What was everyone doing at 4 A. M. at the Council convention in Peoria-not sleeping, that is! -Track season opens at Geneseo. -Participating in the VFW parade, the band was drowned out by a professional drum and bugle corps, but OHS fans clapped long and loud in a helpful effort to aid the band. -Picnics were the order of the week end commemorating Easter. Pitchnecks is what we really mean. -Rainmakers Willy and Rotter finally shook the balloons down at the Spring formal. -Who did the dastardly deed-scattered the locker contents all over the fioors in the girls' dressing rooms on GAA Playday? Some fun! MAY -Hang it and run! -More firsts and a smattering of seconds, thirds, and etcs., were brought back from the sectional music contests. The competition was really stiff. Band concert postponed indefinitely be- cause of the coal shortage. But, Mr. Hentrich, some of those boys and gals are used to being in the dark! All the girls on the Buc staH offered to interview Nutchuk, after seeing his picture. -Something new in assemblies was added -the Registration assembly. -It's an ill wind that blows the Idle-wild get it ? -Matters regulatory were forgotten at the Civic council picnic. -The lady behind us at the Military ex- hibit said, Aren't the little tots cute? We gals curbed our impulses to throw pennies, showing our appreciation of the performance. -Everyone was dreamy-eyed at the Jun- ior-Senior prom except Ernie, who had to clean up after. -No more essays, No more books, No more seniors' Wild-eyed looks. JUNE 3, 4, 5-Final exams-days of nightmares. Will that last needed credit be there at diploma time? 6-Two out of twenty dances were enjoyed by OHS couples during the scramble for autographs at the Exam Bust dance. 7-Everyone grabs his diploma and runs before the faculty changes its mind. The doors swing out-and it's So long, OHS . HE theme of this book is The Circus . To ancient Romans this word meant an arena, or oval t1'ack, where great crowds could see feats of horsemanship at the chariot races, could watch gladiators strike their opponents to the ground, and savage beasts tear Christian prisoners to bits. These exhibits trained the soldiers and tempered the citizenry for the life of that day. To us the word suggests a great tent, animals, freaks, music, noise, daring acts, and fun. The circus program runs the scale of human feelings. Frivolity is there, gruesomeness is displayed, skills of the highest order and feats of courage are exhibited. Some laugh, some scream, others refuse to look at the too- daring. So it is with life, some will laugh, some scream, others will run away when they see the task before them. To this extent life and school are like a circus. The analogy must not be carried too far. You cannot expect every- thing to be set in place for you, with seats and a midway just around each corner. You must become a performer and accept the responsibility for what is to come. The circus of life today finds man at another crossroad. One road leads to an undreamed era of comfort, achievement, and peace, the other to strife and destruction so characteristic of the Roman amusement. The school has endeavored to have you see today life in its realities, and to lift before you a vision of service and peace for all mankind. You must be willing to work for this achievement. You must know and act on truth and not be confused by the shrewd propaganda of the greedy and the selfish. Whether we have the democracy and free society we vision depends upon each individualis integrity and willingness to sacrifice and to share comforts with others. Your eagerness to make democracy work is important. Being a good citizen is not paying your admission at the entrance to the tent and taking in all you can see or get. You must give more than cash. You must give yourself. Horace Mann suggested that one should be ashamed to die until he has made a contribution to his com- munity and to humanity. I have faith that you will be good performers. H. D. ANDERSON. EJ MR. H. D. ANDERSON The principal of the thing for four- teen years now has a BE from West- ern State Teachers' college at Ma- comb, and a bachelor of law and an ME from the University of Illinois. Outdoor camping is his favorite pas- time. A word to the wise should be sufficientg Mr. Anderson's pet peeve is to have an individual attempt to justify his wrong-doing by covering it up with another's. And just think of all such characters he must run up against in an average school day ! MR. CHARLES ALIKONIS Jay-Vee coach and biology teacher, Mr. Charles Alikonis comes from Johnston City, Illinois. Star in football, basketball, and track at Illinois Wesleyan, CJA taught at Sterling before coming to Ottawa High. He likes hunting and gar- dening 1he's got a big one, garden, that isj. He spends most of his spare time keeping track of Pat this sonl, who is always getting into mischief. MISS ANITA BALDWIN Miss Anita Baldwin, of Paris-Paris, Illinois, you dopes, not Paris, France -is a graduate of the University of Illinois, and one of the best known teachers of OHS. She enjoys music and gardening in her spare time, and the word guy and chewing gum are her pet peeves, This is just a word to the wise to those who have not yet taken civics or United States history. MR. R. P. BOHANNON Mr. R. P. Bohannon, more familiar- ly known to his fans as R. Parking- ton B.. teaches the budding scien- tists of OHS the Finer points of chemistry and physics.

Besides sponsoring the senior class, he likes to remodel houses and sing in the choir of the Baptist church. His favorite sub- ject is to relate his experiences while working at Seneca du Pont-as his students will vouch. MISS JOSEPHINE BRIGHENTI One of the oddest pet peeves in the school is that of the cafeteria mana- ger, who dislikes having people comb their hair in her kitchen. Miss Brighenti attended Central State Teachers' college at Stevens Point, Wisconsin, the University of Wis- consin, and the University of Chi- cago. coming out of all that with a BS degree. Before coming to OHS Miss Brighenti was at Billings hos- pital at the University of Chicago. Music, collecting wood carvings, and amateur photography are her hobbies. MR. MERLE BURKE Author and Teacher-that's Mr. Merle Burke, World history teacher at OHS.

Along with teaching, Mr. Burke is secretary of the Rotary club. His hobby is photography. He earned his A.B. degree at Illinois Wesleyan. MISS DOROTHY CARPENTER All the way from her home town in Ashland, Ohio, comes Dorothy Car- penter to teach math at Ottawa High. Before coming here she taught at South Bend and at the Army program at Cornell university. Miss Carpenter received her B.A. from Ashland college in Ohio, and her M.A. from the University of Michi- gan. Her hobbies are spectator sports, collecting images of penguins and attending school activities. MISS MAURA CONLISK Miss Maura Conlisk, gym teacher at OHS, loves horseback riding and reading, but hates dirt and unclean- ness. So, remember, kiddies, wear clean gym socks. Having attended La Crosse State Teachers' college, University of California, and C0- lumbia Teachers' college, in New York city, she received her BS at Columbia. Even though Miss Con- lisk's hometown is in Kewanee, she doesn't want to spend her vacation there. She plans to attend Columbia if she can get a roomg otherwise she will take a trip somewhere. 10 MISS RUTH CORLEY Miss Ruth Corley, English teacher for two years at OHS, hails from Shelbyville, Illinois-southern Illi- nois, for you who didn't know- and finds people who are acting funny when they should be serious her most pronounced peeve. Sum- mer time she likes to be traveling in the West, and all time she likes to collect toy elephants and practice photography. She earned her B.A. in education at Eastern Illinois State Teachers' college at Charles- ton and her M.A. at Ohio university. MISS PHYLLIS DOTY Miss Phyllis!Doty takes the honors for the teacher having the most un- usual hobby-trying to get the an- nual out on time. Miss Doty gradu- ated from the University of Wiscon- sin's school of journalism in Janu- ary, 1944, and came to Ottawa the next fall. When she is not working on the Buccaneer she likes to putter around her apartment-she says the apartment suffers-read, and receive and send mail. Yes, spelled m-a-i-l. MISS EVELYN DURHAM A jack of all pastimes is Miss Dur- ham, who likes to swim, play golf, bowl in the winter, knit and sew, and play the piano.

Before she came to Ottawa, though, she stopped at Blackburn, Webster, and the Uni- versity of Arkansas to earn her B.A. and M.A. degrees. She enjoys her- self most in the great outdoors. MISS VERA HAM Miss Ham entered school late last fall, due to her a western trip. have heard Miss ably guess that but how many lected stamps? Miss Ham is a around. delayed return from Those of you who Ham sing can prob- her hobby is music, knew that she col- All in all, we think nice person to have MR. HOMER HANKENSON In his two sons Hank , as he is nicknamed by the student body, has the beginnings of a couple of good football players. Although Mr. H. has'n't been at Ottawa very long, he has produced some fine athletes and some good teams. In addition to his athletic and coaching ability, on which he put the final touches in competi- tion at Carthage college, he looks pretty good on a dance floor, too. He doesn't smile much, but he has a hearty chuckle once you get him started. MISS VIRGINIA HEIDINGER After attending Mary Washington college, Grinell, and the University of Illinois, Miss Virginia Heidinger earned her BA, and now teaches Latin I and English I at OHS.

MISS MARGUERITE HEMPEN Miss Marguerite Hempen, teacher of modern history and Our Life Today. received her B.A. and M.A. at the University of Illinois. Her hobbies are sports and camping-she works as a. camp director for the city of Decatur, Illinois. She didn't admit her pet peeve, but we imagine it could be some of the boys in her history classesihi, Don! MR. ARTHUR C. HENTRICH Art, as he is affectionately known by members of the band and drum corps, as well as the student body in general, is an example of the hometown boy that really made good. Mr. H. always has a smile and a cheery greeting for everyone, and some of his puns are incorrigible. We think he would make a good candidate for Busiest Man Around School , as he is in the band room at all hours of the day, and some- times even at night, giving lessons and rehearsing and planning. MRS. ARTHUR C. HENTRICH Mrs. Arthur C. Hentrich, whose home town is the thriving industrial city of Ottawa, teaches personalized and first-year typing, after attending the University of Wisconsin. She is a member of the Amateur Musical club, and is a soloist at the First Baptist church. Her hobby? You've guessed it, music. MISS GEORGINE HESS We have a mathematician in our midst! Miss Hess likes to work math problems as a pastime. She earned her BA at Clark college, and her MA at the University of Illinois. She dislikes people who make a lot of noise without thought. This sum- mer she plans to take short trips with Galena as her base. 11 MISS MARCELLA HILL Miss' Hill is an alumna of our own OHS, and is now secretary to Mr. Anderson. She didn't relate her pet peeves, but considering that she Writes quite a few tardy excuses, we can leave you to your own con- clusions. During summer vacations she can be found at Winnemac Girl Scout camp in Indiana. She also didn't tell us her hobby, but with that many girls to keep track of, she wouldn't have to have one. MR. JOHN HOFF Composer of Pep , director of glee clubs and orchestra, teacher of ge- ometry and music appreciation? that's Mr. John Hoff, familiar OHS teacher, who makes good music popular around the school. He has to admit music is his greatest en- joyment. but summertime he likes to do a lot of gardening, in between his private tutoring. Mr. Hoff attended the University of Illinois and the University of Chicago, where he earned his degree. MRS. RIVA HOFF Mrs. Riva Hoff, who has taught at OHS cvcr since she attended the Chicago Art institute, is one of Ot- tawa's own teachers, having lived in Ottawa all her life. Her hobbies are collecting stamps and postmarks, but her biggest isfyou've guessed it --art. Having people talk out of turn and chewing gum are her pet peeves. She says she hopes to go on a vacation this summer-if Mr. Hoff ever gets through teaching summer school. MR. ROBERT KASLING Click!! That was the camera bc- longing to Mr. Kasling. He claims that the good pictures are due only to his own ability. Hunting is also one of his spare time users. Mr. Kasling has attended numerous col- leges, including Park college, Mis- souri: Colorado State college, Syra- cuse university, Rice Institute, of Harvard. He obtained his BA de- gree at the University of Wisconsin and his MS degree at Chicago uni- versity. Mr. Kasling teaches physi- ography, economics and English II. Salida, Colorado, is his home town.

Gardening is her chief pas- time in the summer months, al- though this summer she will be found attending sessions at the University of Chicago. Miss Laug- man teaches English I and English II. MR. CHARLES LECKRONE The Stein Song might very well be Mr. Leckrone's theme song. for he has a secret ambition to collect steins, a hobby which would have to be secondary to a four-months- old son in the Leckrone family. And here we might mention that his pet peeve is Leckrone with an h instead of a Uk . Mr. Leckrone, who teaches agriculture and gen- eral science here at OHS, received his BS in education at Warrensburg Teachers' college in Missouri and is now working on his MA from the University of Chicago during the summer months. MISS MARY R. LEMAY Sooner or later we all become ac- quainted with Miss Mary LeMay, whether because of schedules or ad- vanced mathematics. Miss LeMay attended Blackburn Junior college. Carlinville, Illinois, and received her B.S. from Illinois Wesleyan, Bloom- ington, and her M.S. from the Uni- versity of Illinois. She intends to take a refresher course at Purdue this' summer. so those planning for four years of math had better study. Later this summer many of us will sec her at Walter's, on the payroll staff.

He attended Western State college, and was once an athletic rival of Coach Hankenson, who was a Car- thage student. MISS MARY JANE MESS Oh, wait, I must buy that pitcher , is very frequently heard from Miss Mary Jane Mess, teacher of French and Spanish, because collecting miniature pitchers is her hobby. Having received her A.B. and M.A. at Northwestern university, Miss Mess has traveled and studied in Mexico. The American Association of University Women also claims her as one of its members. MISS MILDRED MORGAN Science club, young peoples' organi- zations, and hiking occupy the extra time of Miss Mildred Morgan. sci- ence teacher.

During the summer she does guidance work at Purdue university and visual aid at the University of Wisconsin. MRS. STELLA MCDERMOTT One year old in OHS history, Mrs. McDermott is leaving Ottawa to look after her husband returned from Army service. However, a second honeymoon is being delayed until the end of the summer, while Mrs. Mac reports to the Univer- sity of Illinois for the eight weeks' summer course, which will complete her work on her MA. She already has her BA from the U. of I. Mrs. McDermott was formerly in the WAVES. Her hometown is Onarga, Illinois. MR. ROBERT R. McKAY Mr. Robert McKay stayed long enough to welcome us and arrived in time to kick us out, but the other three years found him traveling for Uncle Sam in the U. S. Navy, with his family at his heels. He received his B.S. at the University of Illinois. If y'.u're nice to him. he'll probably give you a ride to the beach on the fender of the Ford. MRS. FRANCES MAC MILLAN Do you like to watch the trains go through? That is one of Mrs. Fran- ces MacMiIlan's special hobbies! along with listening to the radio, studying theological books, and raising dogs.

MICHAEL J. O'CONNELL The school bugaboo is Mr. O'Connell, officially known as Truant Officer, who can be seen starting out at eight in the morning in a vain at- tempt to get a head start on the missing links. He's still going strong at 5:30, and has even been known to make evening visitations. In ad- dition to his bloodhound duties, Mr. O'C. has his difficulties at home try- ing to keep his red-headed daughter in line and the family pooch from digging holes in his well-kept lawn. During the summer this product of Eire catches up on his insurance business. MR. BEN PARK As soon as school is out Mr. Ben Park is leaving for a fishing trip to Squaw Lake, Minnesota. Shooting, pinochle. and guns are among his other hobbies. After serving in the last war for three years, he gradu- ated from the University of Wis- consin with a BA. The blights of his life are loud talking and coarse laughing. Before school you will find him at the ride range, instruct- ing the future experts of America. MR. HERBERT PROPPS Here, indeed, is an unusual man- Mr. Propps has no pet peeve! He returned to OHS to teach English after serving three years in the Army.

MISS ISABELLA SANDERS Many seniors worried whether or not they'd ever get Burke's Con- ciliation and the juniors worried over Lorna Doone , and Miss S. worried about her juniors and sen- iors receiving English credits. Miss Sanders received her BA at Vassar and ber MA at Columbia university and Oxford, England. One of her favorite pastimes is painting.

HAZEL WICKLIFFE Roll call is a familiar phrase heard by the girls in Mrs. Hazel Wick- llf'fe's gym classes. She received her B.E. at Western Illinois State Teach- ers' college, and claims her hobbies are outside activities, reading, and her husband. OHS has claimed her as a teacher for a year and a half.

But those beautiful fiowers that are sometimes seen on the counter in the office are not for eating. His sister, Miss Oledine Wood, studied music at Oberlin con- servatory. MR. HAROLD ZUEGE You must get your work in on time. That is a familiar cry in 502. Mr. Z. encourages his students to keep up with their early work so that extra work won't have to be put in at the end of the semester. But drawings must be neat, not sloppy and carelessly done. Mr. Zuege received his BS in manual arts at Oshkosh State Teachers' col- lege. His plans for the summer are indefinite. My Mn.. ff! J 'mfg 7 P Q A lfv i 102 MRS.

CLUBS 23 Biology Club When a regular Chess club was formed at the beginning of the year, the Biology club turned to interesting scientific reports for entertainment this season. Floyd Werner, Well-known graduate of OHS, attended several meetings, and told of his experiences in the fields of biology in the Pacific. As no officers were elected, the members set up a program committee system under the sponsorship of Mr. C. J. Alikonis, who has been biology instructor for the past twelve years. 24 The '45-'46 Science club was composed of thirty freshmen. The mem- bers demonstrated experiments dealing with all types of physical science. They also enjoyed a number of parties and get-togethersf' The officers Were: Wendell Stangeland, presidentg Allan Haroldson, vice-presidentg Audrey Nicholson, secretaryg and Rita Burke, treasurer. The program committee of first semester was composed of Ethyl Gudgell, Sylvia Mattes, Richard Henry, and Clark Andrews, While Bob Engel and Laurel Chapman made up the second semester committee. The club met every other Tuesday during seventh hour in room 201, under the direction of Miss Mildred Morgan. Science Club 25 Home Ee Club In case you're Wonderin'-all those domesticated-lookingf?J people run- ning around are Home Ec clubbers. Midge Woodward has been their presi- dent this year, with Jean Cavanaugh, Mary Ann Dougherty, Mary Cunico, and Eileen Chalus helping her out as vice-president, treasurer, and secretary respectively. Midge says that Home Ec had quite an initiation this year-probably last fall you saw all the gals chugging around pale-faced and minus all trinkets, and Wearing pigtails with big green crepe paper bows. Later in the year the girls gave their annual May formal, though this year it became the Spring formal , since it was held on April 26. Decorat- ing was done in pastel shades, with a false ceiling of yellow and blue. Music Was supplied by Billy Waite's orchestra, with Norma Bridwell singing. Punch fit was actually good! ! IJ was served from a table in the West end of the gym. A very good dance. CI had fun.J Home Ee club this year has had a fairly active and very successful season. 26 Pep Squad Pep squad, under the sponsorship of Miss Glo Wilson, elected as its officers this year: Jane Gay, president, Hildegarde Fosse, vice-president, Jean Carter, secretaryg Virginia Roose, treasurer, Joyce Pyle, senior class representativeg Dede Godfrey, junior class representativeg Gilda Lencioni, sophomore class representativeg Bobbie Peck, program chairman. This club started off the year with its usual pep assemblies, with some help from several Hep squad members. Everything from a miniature foot- ball team to a Trojan horse Was used. The girls also had a bang-up picnic, and those White caps with a red OHS were sold. At the last basketball game the girls repeated a stunt done several years ago with red and white cards. These were held above the girls' heads to form letters to Welcome the opponents and to cheer the home team. 27 C6 99 Bob Nixon told us that the members of the O club studied at their meetings. We were a little incredulous, and so he told us that they also played volleyball and basketball and ate at their meetings, which were held the first Monday night of every month. To be a member of the letterman's organization you must be the proud possessor of one major letter, or two minor letters. Old members include Don Clemens, Bob McNamara, Dick Zuege, Wen and Ken Anderson, John Suehr, Darrell Shawback, Bob Nixon, and Lambro Poulaki, who has returned from service. New members taken in last fall include Dean Riley, Dick Claus, Lou Bowman, Bob Richey, Duane Palmer, Bob Rosendahl, Dave Knutson, Don Chalus, Bill Schwarzbach, Len Roberts, Ed Condron, Kaye and Keith Bretag, Don Pierson, Pork Dougherty, Art McCoy, Jack Ahern and Don Radle. Under the direction of president Don Clemens, vice-president Bob Mc- Namara, treasurer Wen Anderson, and secretary Dick Zuege, the club spon- sored a dance on April 5 and had two picnics in the spring. Coach Homer Hankenson is the groupis supervisor. 28 G. A. A. The Ottawa branch of the Girls' Athletic association, a national organi- zation, was reorganized this school year. Officers were elected as follows: president, Betty Hadley, vice-president, Joyce Herzog, secretary, Helen Rubenackerg treasurer, Gilda Gleim. Points are given to each girl for such activities as organized basketball, baseball, volleyball, and soccer, and also may be earned by keeping health rules, doing stunts, taking hikes, riding horseback, skating, and many other activities. This year Marie Vancena, Marie Boness, and Genevieve Grubaugh have received the first local award, numerals given for making 600 points in GAA activities. Margaret Ulrich and Betty Hadley have been given the second local award, an O , for keeping the rules and having made a total of 1200 points. The highest honor in GAA, the second state award, has been given to Andrea Berger and Gilda Gleim for having completed the re- quirements. It is an emblem in the shape of Illinois, with GAA on it. GAA is held seventh hour under the direction of Mrs. Hazel Wicklilfe. In April the Ottawa GAA was hostess at a playday which was built around an Indian theme, each of the teams bearing an Indian name. The Chippewa tribe, under the leadership of Evaline Lewis, took the honors of the day. 29 A trip to Chicago, Where members visited department stores and mail order houses, was one of the high lights of the Distributive Education group. Students interested in selling goods and services are enrolled in the dis- tributive education class, a two-hour course which enlists students who Work in local stores a minimum of fifteen hours a Week. Members of this class make up the roster of the Future Distributers' club, which is a member of a state organization. Other activities of the club were picnics and parties. Another feature of the c1ub's activities was the banquet which they sponsored for all co-operat- ing merchants and members of the advisory committee. The officers of the club are: Grace Coffey, presidentg Adele Barron, vice-presidentg Dorothy Chase, secretaryg Jane McNamara, treasurer. Retailing Club 30 Dr. Alexander Alekhine, Russian chess champion, died this year, mak- ing an opening for OHS Chess club members. This club, which was under the direction of Mr. Herbert Propps, was organized at the beginning of the second semester, meetings being held every Friday during seventh hour in 308. The Champ was the only club ofhcer, and he held this cffice by beating the other members at chess. Consequently, the office rotated from meet- ing to meeting. Club members played chess by mail with various persons throughout the United States. The players wrote their moves on post cards and sent them to the other players. One game by mail may take several months, while a game between on-the-spot individuals may take from one-half to one hour. Chess Club 1 ,L , . 31 Again this year the Junior Red Cross carried on a useful program of sup- plying veterans' hospitals and foreign children with needed articles. Proj- ects Were carried out both in the club and in the home rooms. Mrs. Hen- trich's home room knitted an afghan for a veteran hospital, and gift boxes were filled by home rooms for children in war-torn countries. The group also made several scrap books. Officers for this year were Helen Antrobus, presidentg Reba Nelson, secretary-treasurerg Mary O'Connell, publicity chairman. Sponsor of the club is Mrs. Francis McMillan. Junior Red Cross 32 Art Club The Art club has completed its third year, without a dull moment, caus- ing Mrs. Riva Hoff, club sponsor, to wonder what the members would do next. First on their list of projects was a simulated stained glass window of the Nativity scene, placed in the front entrance during the holiday season. Next, they made a big splash with a swimming party. One of the nicest informal dances of the season was the Spring dance, sponsored by the Art club, when dogwood trees in full bloom sprouted in the gym, shading cozy love seats. Club members and guests visited the art galleries and Field museum in Chicago early in April, and, of course, Mrs. HoFf's old stand-by, the Art institute, was included in the tour. Just before the end of the year a collection of student paintings were exhibited. This year two members, Joanne Bahen and John Halterman, received certificates of award from the National Scholastic exhibit for their original work shown at the Fair store in Chicago. Oflicers of the organization were: Marjorie Werner, presidentg William Hossack, vice-presidentg Robert Yokum, secretary-treasurer, and John Halterman, known as Junior, chairman of the Errand Boy committee, 33 German Club Sprechen Sie deutsch?

Other officers were Bill Hossack, Vice-presidentg Betty Hadley, secretary, Nan Hutchings, treasurer. On December 18 a Christmas party was held in the cafeteria. The club and their guests danced to the music of the juke box. Ice cream, cookies and cokes were served. Gloria Sanderson was chairman of the committee for the party. Miss Esther Wirick sponsored the club. 34 Latin Club Miss Brighenti said of the Latin club, It's the most eatingest club in OHS. ' The club, which is under the sponsorship of Miss Esther Wirick, elected as its officers this year, Henry Leander, presidentg Don Pierson, vice-presi- dent, Robert, Pierson, secretary, Bill Cullen, treasurer. Each individual in the club played his part by serving at least once on a committee, and one committee had charge of a whole meeting, including the program and refreshments. The programs varied from skits to quizzes and other games. 35 Los alumnos de Espanol organized a Spanish club again this year, under the name of Ningiin Chicle and the sponsorship of Miss Mary Jane Mess. The following officers were elected at the beginning of the year: William Klee, presidentg Warren Klugman, vice-presidentg Betty Halterman, secre- taryg Mona Classon, treasurer. A dance on February 8 was the main eHort of Ningun Chicle members this season. The dance theme, E1 Paseo, was centered around a quaint Mexican custom-girls walking in one direction and boys walking in the opposite direction until they meet someone they wish to dance with in the park-with the Highwaymen playing the part of la bandaf' During National Education week the members co-operated with the Spanish classes and placed an exhibit in a downtown store. g Spanish Club gg 36 The Rifle club, affiliate branch of military, and under the sponsorship of Mr. Ben Park, completed another instructive school year, during which forty OHS boys received shooting training. Instructors for the Rifle club were Bill Lockhart, Fred Roesler, Bill Brooker, Delbert Battles, and Charles Calkins. Myron Wiley is secretary. The range is located in the room at the rear of the cafeteria, where four targets were available to those practicing on marksmanship. The first semester members were to report for instructions on certain days according to a schedule, but second semester the club was divided up into teams, which shot in competition on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings during first hour. Top individual averages for the year were: Fred Johnson, 905 Bill Vezain, 885 and Don Crocker, 86. These boys received a year's subscription to a sporting magazine. p Rifle Club 37 Civic Council A late start didn't stop the Civic Council from taking an active part in school activities. Everyone can remember the Hard Times party and the Idlewild trip. The council sponsored a paper drive and drives for the March of Dimes and Piney Woods school, and kept new records in the juke box. Besides that they operated the coke bar at the dances and during the basketball tournament. They also sent four delegates to the State Student Council convention. This year the council was sponsored by Mr. George Willy and Mr. Merle Burke. The entire group met every other Tuesday, with board meetings on the alternate Tuesdays. New oiiicers were elected each semester and they were: chairmen, Bill Pierson, Glenn Wiley, vice-chairmen, Ruth Read, Duane Palmer, secretaries, Beverly Peterson, Mary O'Connellg executive board, Bill Klee, Glenn Wiley, Duane Palmer, Felix Norman, Mary Lou Moran, Thelma Kellogg, and Don Pierson. Q This year we found The Shiek of Araby in a Harlem Nocturne . Yes, the Highwaymen changed their theme song, and the new one was really a smooth numb-er. In fact, all their music was. The group was introduced to the student body at the pep assembly be- fore the L-P football game. The band's roster included such musical nota- bles as Bob Carr, saxophone and clarinet, a '45 graduate, who sat in until the Army calledg Lewis Olmstead, saxophone and clarinetg Wayne Butter- field, clarinet and saxophoneg Bill Shaw, clarinetg Hark Leix, tromlooneg Bill Klee, tromboneg Jimmy Kirkman, trumpet, Norman Peters, trump-et: Chuck Zimmerman, drumsg and Jack Mohler, piano. At the Art club dance some former members of the orchestra entertained OHS dancers, but at all other school dances the regulars held sway. The Highwaymen 39 The Cheer Leaders The cheerleaders this year were: Lorraine Smith, the leader of the group, a sophomore, Joan Ahern, a junior, Marge Deckreon, sophomore, and the Lewis twins, Jean and Jane, who are also sophomores. The girls did a nice job of leading OHS students in cheering for our team at the foot- ball and basketball games this year. While they used many of the old cheers, they also introduced several new ones, which most of the students promptly learned. Thanks, girls, for a job well done. 40 The Drum Majorettes The six girls composing the first rank of the OHS band are dressed in maroon and white uniforms and military hats with gay white plumes, be- cause they are the majorettes. During the past year these girls have accompanied the band in its exhibi- tion performances beween the halves at football games and in the VFW and Memorial day parades. During the basketball season twirling exhibitions were given by Virginia Hawk and Doris Olson, Isabelle Irrgang, Geraldine Foster, Mary Jane and Dorothy Ann Griflith, and Shirley Brundage. The girls also ushered at the band concert, and Shirley and Isabelle participated in the finale. These same two girls also entered the district music contest at Streator and won first place honors, which entitled them to go on to the sectional contest in De Kalb, where Shirley placed first and Isabelle received a second. Shirley Brundage is the drum majoretteg the six regulars are Isabelle Irrgang, Marge Biecker, Patsy Jones, Virginia Hawk, Geraldine Foster, and Doris Olson. Sub-majorettes include Mary Jane and Dorothy Ann Griffith, Dixie Chalus, Helen Mattes and Pat J essen. 41 THE OHS BAND Under the leadership of Arthur C. Hentrich, the OHS band has had a very successful year. In the fall the band performed during the halves of the football games, forming letters and different figures. On one occasion the members formed a temperamental clock which ran down and had to be wound. The majorettes represented the hands of the clock and marched around the fac-e in time with the music. Through the winter the basketball games were Hpepped up by the band playing popular songs. The annual concert, the climax of the year, was held on May 17. The program consisted of many selections by well-known composers, such as Jerome Kern, Paul Yoder, and Sigmund Romberg. The concert was high- lighted by instrumental solos by Bill Shaw, Shirlee Blake, Peggy Pool, Wayne Butterfield, and Lewis Olmstead. The band members are: flute and piccolo, Peggy Pool, clarinets, Bill Shaw, Wayne Butterfield, D-elores Drinen, Richard Claus, Alex Bower, Donald O'Beirn, Donald Miller, James Bongart, Delores Small, Leota Stude- baker, Beverly Folte, Albert Law, Robert Serby, Andrea Berger, saxo- phones, Lewis Olmstead, Ida Zuccarinig horn, Mary Jo Weiss 3 cornets and trumpets, Norman Peters, LeMoyne Grude, Robert Rosendahl, Richard Sheffel, Robert Coats, Robert McClelland, Aline Seiffert, Robert Pierson, Harry J ehly, Henry Leander, Richard Loomis, Genevieve Grubaugh, Ronald Drell, Anna Schomasg trombones, Julius Leix, William Klee, Ralph Olm- stead, Russell Danner, Allan Seifert, James Davey, euphoniums, Nan Hutchings, Joan Martin, Bonita Duffy, basses, Harold McCormick, Allan Bowermaster, marimba, Shirlee Blake, chimes, Wayne Butterfield, snare drums, John Baietto, Lunda Sue Piiefer, Charles Zimmerman, Reldon Gross, Jon Atchison, Paul Veasyg bass drum, Gene Bartlett, timpani, Shirlee Blake. 42 1 ' f THE OHS ORCHESTRA The orchestra directed by Mr. John L.

During the first semester, the octette, composed of sopranos, Beverly Peterson, Gloria Sanderson, altos, Elda Johnson, Darlene Clark, tenors, Don Grobe, Paul Sheedyg basses, Bill Ullrich, Lewis Olmstead, won a first rating at the Streator divisional music contest. When Paul Sheedy left for Notre Dame at the beginning of second se- mester, the octette became a septette, but this did not stop them from win- ning another first rating at the sectional music contest at De Kalb. Mr. John L. Hoff is director of the septette, with Mary Cole accompanist. GIRLS' SEXTETTE After taking two first ratings, at the Streator divisional and De Kalb sectional, the girls' sextette has completed a very successful year. Under the direction of Mr. John L.

Barbara Irwin is the accompanist for the group. 46 STOP 47 DRUM CORPS The Drum corps again accompanied the Ottawa Cadet corps in the nu- merous parades and exhibitions held throughout the past school year. Lieutenant Jack McGill was drum major. The Drum corps, directed by Mr. Arthur C. 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 also showed proficiency in marching in the spring review on May 20. Helping Lt. McGill wer-e Staff Sergeants Mike Forbes and Don Fiske and Sergeants Howard Kosnick and Ed Burke. Drum corps members are: Jon Atchison, Joe Brown, Ed Burke, John Carroll, Ward Carroll, Ed Condron, Alvin Eastman, Don Fiske, Mike Forbes, Reldon Gross, Don Jones, Dick Knott, Howard Ko-snick, Bob Lattimore, Bob Mazur, Melson Medley, Jim McGrath, Louis Ohlendorf, Jack Owens, Bob Wagner, Jack Mohler, Marty Wilhelm. DRILL SQUAD The fancy drilling of the military corps is taken care of by the OHS Drill squad. Members include all military boys, whether officers or buck privates, who like to drill. The squad meets every Monday night, drilling for one hour and having a recreation period afterwards. Drillmaster Wendell Anderson leads the group, and the sponsor is Mr. Robert McKay. Students and townspeople, viewed the squad at exhibits they gave during basketball games and in community parades. The boys showed they had other talents, too, by bringing back the annual military ball to OHS calendar. 48 MILITARY During this year a great deal of progress was made by the military de- partment of OHS. Unfortunately, the activities of the Cadet corps were restricted during the first semester by a shortage of uniforms. However, the Drill squad was able to get uniforms, and was called upon to perform on several occasions. At the beginning of the second semester, because of his heavy academic schedule, Mr. Charles Leckrone relinquished command of the corps to Mr. Robert R. McKay, a former lieutenant in the Navy. At this time the corps was reorganized by Mr. McKay. The corps was formerly a battalion com- posed of three companies with three platoons in each company. Following the reorganization, the unit became a regiment composed of two battalions, each of which had two companies, with two platoons in each company. The regiment is commanded by Cadet Lt. Col. Don Clemens, Cadet Regi- mental Sub-Commander Glenn Wiley, and Cadet Regimental Adjutant Robert Donahue. The first battalion is commanded by Cadet Major Tom Godfrey and the second battalion by Cadet Major Wendell Anderson. The Drill squad revived the Military ball this year, the formal dance being held on April 12, with Joe Dezutti's orchestra playing. And on May 10 the squad gave an exhibition assembly, preceded by a brief history of the corps, which was compiled by Mr. McKay, and a demonstration of the manual of arms given by members of the second battalion. For the occa- sion squad members had on brand-new white gloves. Mr. McKay also pre- sented green service buttons to the boys in the squad. 49 The Buccaneer Seventeen deadlines to meet-seventeen Fridays of anxious waiting, Won- dering Whether or not the Bud, would be distributed to the home rooms by 3 :16. Great improvements have been made by the Buccaneer this year, ac- cording to the points given by the National Scholastic Press association. Much of the success should be awarded to the capable staff. Jean Carter was managing editor, with Mary Armstrong, Nan Hutchings, Reba Nelson, Mary O'Conne11, and Jack McGill forming the news staff. Genola Bellrose, Marge Walkling, and Joanne Wolfe assisted Hildegarde Fosse in the feature editing of the Buc . Sports editor Ed Schaefer enlisted in the Navy at the end of first semes- ter, but Marge Hilpipre and Gilda Gleim didn't have too much trouble second semester, with the help of Bob McNamara, Bob Nixon, Art McCoy, Pat Yasm, and Jack Borge? Members of the journalism classes Were reporters for the Buccaneer, and Miss Phyllis Doty is class advisor. 50 The circus is coming! And it all started with a parade for subscriptions for the '46 Senior. A circus theme was decided upon by the staff in Novem- ber, so, to keep up the motif, circus decorations and stunts were used at the annual yearbook dance on January 18. In April the stai was appointed by Miss Phyllis Doty, yearbook advisor. Reba Nelson was made editor, and assist- ants Mary O'Connell and Nan Hutchings helped her. This year it Was decided to have an editorial board rather than think up names of positions for all staff members. Credit for the art Work ,goes to Marjorie Werner. Best share of the photography Work was done by Alex Bower. Throughout the year obstacles presented themselves to prevent the yearbook,s appearance-things like shortages of photographic supplies, coal shortages, strikes, and deadlines. But, step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and get your '46 Senior. The Senior 51 The Ottawa Pirates lost their season opener to La Sall-e, 13 to O, on September 14. They also lost their second game the following Week to a tough Streator eleven, 20 to 0, but defeated Hall in their first conference game on September 28, 39 to 13. On October 5 the squad eked out a 7 to 0 win over Dixon, but lost to De Kalb the following Fri- day night, 19 to 0. Sterling bashed OttaWa's hope for a conference title by winning 41 to 3 on October 19. In the last games of the season the Trojans returned to Mendota, licking their wounds after a Pirate win of 57 to 0. The Bucs ended the season by placing fourth in the North Central conference behind Sterling, De Kalb, and Geneseo. Football 53 59 Jack Ahem4Also a junior, Jack played end for the Bucs, after participating in JV foot- ball for two years. Jack's1 work on the practice field ad- judges him good material for next fall. 41 Don Chalus-Don, one of the two sophomores on the var- sity, earned a starting berth in a few games. playing left end, and receiving honorable mention on the conference team. He should prove to be one of OttaWa's best ends in another year or two. 31 Jim Dougherty-Jim was the Bucs' left tackle and is also a junior. Hailing from St. Bede's, Pork already had one year of football behind him when he entered OHS. 58 Henry Bonges-After trans- ferring from St. Bede's. Buggsie came to OHS and made the team as regular left guard, and was named on the all-conference first team. He also- received honorable mention on Pat Harmon's all-state team. 48 John Suehr-Captain-elect Suehr played left half this year, and was also named captain of the all-conference second team. Coach Hanken- son thinks John should prove to be one of the best half- backs in this part of the state next year. 53 Bob Rosendahl-A junior, held down the quarterback spot on this year's team and proved himself a capable de- fensive man by the way he tackled. Rosie injured his back in the Sterling game and was forced to the side- lines for the better part of the rest of the season. 57 Ed Condron-Coming to Ot- tawa from St. Bede's, Ed played right half for the Pirates and proved a great asset to them. Ed should be just as great a help to them next year, making good use of his two years' football training at St. Bede's and his experience this year. it 1 'Q' 'Wif i 1 ' . 2- Jw KS V, It fi,Q. .,!.il 'l 1 ay, . as If , we M i ms . ,.-f i 42 Bob Nixon-Bob, a senior, played both right and left guard, but dislocated his el- bow during practice in mid- season and was forced out of competition. 45 Don Clemens-Captain of this year's squad, Don was out for football for his, second year. As a junior he played right guard and was named on the all-conference first team. This year he played fullback, re- ceiving honorable mention on the all-state team, and on the all-conference team. Don was rated by Coach Hanken- son as one of the best players he has ever coached. 54 Ti- . i , Q1 ,f i xx , 1 ll , X AQ. Mio? I 122 4 .

He is a senior. l fa 40 Dick Claus-Taking over the q uarterback position after Bob Rosendahl was injured in the Sterling game, Dick, a junior, proved himself a cap- able offensive runner. 74 Duane Palmer- Doc played right and left guard this year, but there is a chance that he will be shifted to the back- field when he returns next year. Don Grohe lNot pictured!- Playing his best game against Sterling, Don is something to look forward to next year, being only a junior this year. He played both right and left tackle. 55 56 Lou Bowman-This was Lou's second year on the varsity squad and, as he is only a junior, he will be back again next year. This year found Lou at the center post, which he filled very well, receiving honorable mention on the conference team. 44 Dick Zuege-One of the three seniors on the squad, Dick played right guard, receiving his second football letter, as he played reserve guard last year. 50 Bob Richey-Winning a start- ing berth over eight other candidates. Bob made the var- sity after playing two years of JV football. Bob, a jun- ior, should be one of the stal- warts in the line next year. 54 Bill Schwarzbach-M a k i n g good use of both his offense and defense ability, Bill played right end, but was shifted to fullback at the end of the season, where he will probably be found next year, as he is only a junior. 55 Dave Knutson-A reserve right tackle for about half the season, Dave finally earned himself a starting berth. Dave, a junior, will return his 200 pounds to the squad again next year. 38 Art McCoy-In the first intra- scrirnmage game Art broke his wrist and was out of ac- tion until the Sterling game, when he returned to take up his duties as reserve center. 93 Len Roberts-The other soph- omore, Lump , although he didn't receive a varsity award, did a fine job in the line. 'T 57 Basketball Ottawa started out the '45-'46 basketball season with Gil Love as head coach, and only one returning letterman, Johnny Suehr. The team won seven games and lost thirteen as the season progressed. Against L-P in the opener, on December 7, the team lost 36-25, and again to a highly-skilled Marseilles iive, 64-46, the following Tuesday. In their second home game, the squad won their iirst NCC game from Rock Falls, 40-31. Their third defeat of the season was meted out by Seneca-46-39. Meeting Dixon on their own floor, the Pirates won 36-32. In a close game between Hall and Ottawa during Christmas vacation, Hall emerged the victor, 40-38. Winning by one point, the Marseilles squad defeated Ottawa 37-36. Princeton was swamped by Ottawa's 61 against Princeton's 20. Streator was defeated 42-31, but the Sterling five tipped the Pirates 43-37 on Janu- ary 18. In the game with Morris, the Pirates emerged victorious, 49-37. Geneseo, however, won 33-31. Making up for their iirst loss, the squad won over L-P 40-30. Spring Valley won their return match, 37-34, and Batavia, a newcomer to the OHS cage schedule, won what was to have been an easy game for the Bucs, 44-40. Ottawa again lost in the tilt with De Kalb, 49-33, while Mendota won the last game of the Pirate season, 49-45, in an overtime battle. In the regional tournament, Ottawa won from Morris first, 64-36, but lost to Streator 42-34 in the semi-finals. 58 John Suehr-The only returning letterman on this year's squad, John led the team in scoring, and his floor playing was out- standing in every game, win- ning him honorable mention on the NCC team. Although he is only a junior, this was his sec- ond year on the varsity. Dick Claus-Second high-scorer, Dick was playing with the var- sity for the first time. A jun- ior, Dick's floor play at regular left forward was fair all season. Bill Curtin-A big asset f6'1 J because of his rebounding, both defensive and ofensive, Butch was playing with the varsity for the first time, and gained third high-scoring honors. Bill is also a junior, and will return next year. Dick Zuege-Selected by his teammates as captain of the '45-'46 squad, Dick held down a guard post, and was named to the all-conference team. The only senior on the squad, this was Dick's second year, and his defensive ability proved steady- ing for the Pirates. Dean Riley-Although only a sophomore, Dean was the other regular guard, a good defensive man who had plenty of scoring punch. In his next two years he should become all-state material. Bob Rosendahl-A capable sub at both guard and forward, Bob will prove tough competition next year for the open position, as he is only a junior this year. 59 Lou Bowman-Also one of the first subs to enter the game for the Bucs, Lou stands six feet tall and played forward, guard, and center. A junior, Lou should also provide stiff competition for the open spot next year. Bill Schwarzbach-Another six- footer f6'1 J, Bill, a junior, played reserve center and was always in there fighting, re- bounding, and scoring. He will try for center next year. Dave Knutson-A reserve guard, Dave should find himself next year and play good ball for the Bucs. Bob Langer-This was Bob's first year at basketball, and he will re- turn next year as a senior to go out for forward. J. V.

On April 18, Granville, Sandwich, and Morris met at Ottawa, with the Pirates carrying off the honors of the day. De Kalb also fell to the Bucs on April 23.

Joliet won the latter meet, with Ottawa taking only sixth place. On April 26 and 30 the Pirates beat Mendota and Streator respectively. Against the Bulldogs Suehr made a broad jump of 21 feet, 3 inches. Ottawa also won the triangular between Mendota and Princeton and the home squad on May 2. Although L-P took the district meet, nosing the Bucs into second, Ottawa can be well pleased with Clemens' shot of 44 feet, 9 inches, Suehr's two iirsts in the broad jump and 100-yard dash, and Ken Anderson, who took the half mile. I Bob Nixon broke the school pole vault record of 10 feet, 10 inches in the ltlriangular meet at La Salle, which included Joliet. L-P took the meet, owever.
