For the most part, it has been more a pleasure -a delightful and interesting game-than a task. At times, however, it has seemed a difficult under- taking-difficult not only in our individual prob- lems and assignments at hand, but also in our re- sponsibility in the looming momentous problems of the future which will influence nations. In years to come, when we look back over our high school days, we will very likely remember them as fun-filled, eventful, and, to a degree, ir- responsible. This book is designed to remind us, in those years to come, that we also were engaged in a serious enterprise which carried with it future responsibilities-that of Building for Tomorrow. In the building trade great care is given to selecting a strong, sound cornerstone for a struc- ture designed to last. This cornerstone is more than just another stone. It is a special stone, and might be called the signet and seal of sound build- ing. In the business of living, happy lives and successful careers are built on the cornerstone of character. Thoughts and motives determine the quality of the building. In life as in architecture a weak foundation will not support a strong super- structure, a sound character cannot be built with shoddy materials. With these convictions, we wish to express our sincerest appreciation to the teachers who have been our friends and interested advisers during the years they have endeavored to help us lay our foundations with strong materials and embed our cornerstones in truth. What if we have gone through high school in the time of war, a war which has necessitated many sacrifices and consequent discomfort and even sorrow? We may even consider ourselves in a measure fortunate, for sacrifices serve to broaden and strengthen charaderg and so our cornerstones of character have only become more sturdy found- ations upon which to build a happier, more useful life. May we remember the immortal words of Goethe: Talent ir developed in Jolilude, Clmracler in the .rtorm and Jireu of lhe world. -BARBARA SKINNIER - VL-:I 'M O S -ggi R Ti ELI R -nfl A H-i z... tq. g frffgf A f 1 QS? ,wa 'Lf' 0 .

S., a future of fun, schol- arship, leadership, and honor was certain. With each new day came more and more challenges by which these students could prove their untold abil- ity. Always the members of the class of '45 were well represented on the honor rolls, sports squads, extra curricular activities-any place where a good fellow was needed. Most important of all, we now find thirteen boys representing this class in the service of our country. These boys are Howard Ross, Ronald Meyers, Gilbert Martin, Howard Troupa, Howard Pierson, Roger R. Smith, john Morris, Thomas Brutcher, Ward Bentley, William Pettee, Harold Powers, Robert jaskowiak, and james Larson. We know that the background they have received from Princeton Township High School will insure their success in any problem they may encounter in their immed- iate job of Building for Tomorrow. page jifleefz Ackerson, Lenore Beth National Honor Society, 5. 4, Prcsiedntg A Club, 3, AB Club, 1, 2, -1, Tiger Staff, 4, Senior Editor, Xlifeekly Tiger Staff, 3, Chorus, 1, 2, 3, -1, President, Senior Class Play, -lg Play Production Staff, 3, Tigerettes, 4, Co-presidentg Pep Club, 1, 2, G.

This tribe, under the tute- lage of Miss Fanshier, tagged Virden White, pres- ident, Eddie Cable, vice presidentg Charles Berg- lund, secretary, and Verne Shaffer, treasurer. Virden, having joined the Merchant Marine, is finding it a bit difficult to preside, Eddie, in his own inimitable style is carrying on admirably, Verne's position is necessarily honorary, as there is little to treasure, and Chuck works himself into a lather each Monday morning when he is forced into official capacity by having to put the weekly announcements on the board. Prize-winning doesn't seem to be in our line, but it isn't because we don't try. Take, for in- stance, the home-coming parade. Having labored to a point of exhaustion the previous night, we, clad in the borrowed scarlet splendor of the local Fire Department, blazed gloriously down Main Street, only to be the unwitting victims of the four winds, which destroyed our efforts as though they had been a mere scrap of paper Qi. e., posterj and left us sitting dejectedly on the curbing, the ob- jects of foul scorn and no prizes, not even fifth!

It turned out that we didn't get them together well enough, for it was just another float as far as the judges were concerned. It was a broken down rocket on blue and white crepe paper, the colors of Princeton. This was placed on a wagon pulled by two of our husky Q?j boys. Carroll Kruger straddled the rocket to show the power of Prince- ton's team. We didn't get a prize, though we really 117 should have-not that we're prejudiced!

And, once they caught the idea, they were almost always 100 per cent participants in the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps. Although the masculine element of this Home Room was, of course, not much interested in social events, the boys were finally persuaded to attend a movie party en masse. A spring picnic, boosted along by a beautiful day and some interesting chow, proved enjoyable to those who attended. Plans were afoot for a knitting party or a quilting bee exclusively for the boys, because, as their Home Room teacher says, Knitting and sewing are the only things you can do well while you talk, so you chatterboxes ought to produce some champion knitters and quiltersf' However, this plan was never realized.

The annual leadership school held at Varna was attended by all of the officers of the club. Plans concerning when and where the annual F. F. A. fair would be held were discussed as well as other small business items. During the fall the F. F. A. members were entertained at a party given by the Home EC girls. Everyone had a most enjoyable evening. Highlights of the club's activity was the elec- tion of the Corn Queen. Votes were cast for each contestant by the use of ears of corn. One ear represented one vote. Barbara Anderson was elected queen and crowned on the night of the Harvest Queen Ball. Over 300 bushels of corn were brought in as votes and then were sold, the returns going into the F. F. A. treasury.

This past year has been a very full and active year for the club. They have participated in the following activities: hobo day, initiation and birth- day party, weiner roast and get acquainted party, li. F. A. and Home Ec. party, allaschool scrap drive contest, selling weiners at the Bureau County Tournament, running the check room at the Bu- reau County and Regional Tournaments, mother and daughter covered dish supper, and farewell party. The club's most outstanding activity during the year was the scrap drive in which all the home rooms in school competed. In this drive 9,280 pounds of scrap paper were collected. Mary Blunck from home room 305, was the highest participator of the entire school and of all the girls. Don Dyke was the highest participator of the boys.

Their aim was to further scientific interest in our high school. Differing from previous membership require- ments, the club decided that a year of science prior to entrance in the club and an average of over 80 in the subject would be required. This rule would assure that each member had a knowl- edge of science thus permitting more elaborate experiments and study. An entrance fee of fifty cents was charged to establish a purchasing fund for necessary equipment. At the first meeting the members elected their officers. jack Eakle was elected presidentg Bill Palmer, vice president, Mary A. Jensen, secretaryg George Skinner, treasurer. Also, amendments to the club's constitution were made and plans for the year's work were approved. Several meetings were devoted to lectures given by members on the lives of famous scient- ists. jim Lemke presented a demonstration on chemical analysis. Harry Price demonstrated his 'itechnique in a dark room, referring, of course, to his knowledge of photography. As a specialty, Neil Einstein Anderson delivered a series of skits, presumably about science. Clay Skinner, that eminent student of the slide rule, presented a demonstration at one of the spring meetings. In May the club celebrated their successful year with a party. The year was considered suc- cessful in that no one was injured, in consequence of which some considered their motto4 Bigger and better explosions! page forty A . ia ,fmffiq .- --'n s 'f A . - . 5 .R ..-Q3 Y 1'N ' MTW- 'fit' fvz..

In spite of the fact that she is the busiest woman in the school, she managed to supervise the club and organize its activities. At the first meeting Bill Pettee was elected president, Ann Martin, vice president, George Skinner, treasurer, Shirley Fordham, Secretary. As their initial contribution to the school the Pep Club sponsored several dances in the Den after the first football games. These dances were not elaborate or anything extra-special, but, never- theless, they were the best possible expedient for arousing interest in the school and extra-curric- ular activities. To pep up the student body, the members organized and supervised pep meetings before practically every game-both football and basketball. On the Thursday evening just before the page Homecoming game the Pep Club always holds a thuse , and this year they upheld the tradition. The i'snake weaved down Main Street and finally wound up at the west side of the athletic field. The members of the club had a huge bon- tire started and the entire group of enthusiasts, led by the cheerleaders, yelled resoundingly for a good half-hour. The following day-Homecoming-the Pep Club again was in action and led the Homecoming Parade. They were also the heart of the cheering section that night, even though their team lost. During the basketball tournaments the active members printed the signs that were used to direct visiting schools. They also made the signs designating the playing teams. The cheerleaders, an integral part of the school, worked very hard trying to synchronize their movements and make their cheerleading the best possible. forty-one Front Row: Left to Right-lirnesl Larsen.

Before the supper and during the day the girls were informally initiated, with a formal initiation after the supper. Some of the girls attended a Play Day at Hall last fall. After a morning of baseball, basketball and volleyball, the girls went swimming in Halls indoor pool. A telegraphic basket shooting and bowling contest was entered this winter. These contests are held at the school but the scores telegraphed of Miss Covert, has taken in baseball, hockey, tennis, bowling, basketball, and volleyball.

Membership in the society is the greatest honor that can come to a high school student, for only fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class are elected by the faculty with recommenda- tions from the student body. In order to be eligi- ble the students must rank in the upper third of their class. The members of this organization may be justly proud-perhaps even a little exultant- when they think back over the impressive cere- pag e corporated mony which formally named them members of so distinguished and select a society. And they should feel a certain amount of responsibility in maintaining the high qualities of character and personality which prompted their election. The object of the society is to encourage scholarship and at the same time develop quali- ties which make the student fit for active partici- pation in community life. The officers this year were as follows: Lenore Ackerson, presidentg Barbara Anderson, vice presidentg George Skinner, secretaryg and jack Eakle, treasurer. forly-four Kneeling-4Francis Hannon, Don Traynor, Charles Bcrglund.

It is a great honor to be admitted into this society, not only because it is national, but because it is open proof to all that one has ability to be above average in more than just studies. Freshmen are eliminated automatical- ly, as the requirement states that a candidate for membership must rank above the average of his class for three consecutive semesters, and he must receive a letter in a major sport. In the spring this year an impressive cere- monial assembly was held in the auditorium and the students witnessed the admittance of the new members. Coach Howard delivered an inspiring message in his own flowing eloquent style. QSatire!j One Senior, Ernest Larsen, and six juniors: Francis Hannon, Don Traynor, Douglas Kann, Charles Berglund, jerry Seidel, and Charles Hayes, were initiated this year. Special congratulations go to the Sophomores who were taken in, as this means that they earned varsity awards while un- derclassmen and still kept their studies in the upper brackets. Two boys were honored this year -Dick Wiltz and George Eggers. Verne Shaffer was the only sophomore member last year. page forty-five JH-F ' 5 HJ.

She capably guided the girls during the past year, per- formed more than her required duties and deserves high praise. When the 1944-45 school year opened, Miss Fry admitted nine freshman to the Girls' chorus, to fill the vacancies made by graduates. These girls quickly became ac- customed to the procedure of the chorus and entered whole heartedly in its activities. Loretta Linn was the accompanist. In the fall Miss Fry and the girls dab- bled about with their singing, thoroughly page forty-.fix enjoying themselves and getting a wide knowledge of various types of folk music. To broaden this knowledge even more the girls unanimously agreed to devote one of their free chorus periods listening to rec- ords of folk tunes. Later in the year all the time was given over to preparing the annual program. In their accustomed manner the girls and Miss Fry decided on a very unusual theme for their concert, their aim being to bring to their audience something different, edu- cational and interesting, all in one. They completely succeeded in all three points this year and received great ovations for their efforts. r 1 F , i Q ' s ii Vlfilf- C B This year Miss Fry worked overtime with a group of boys to whip them into a boys' chorus. Rehearsals were held early in the morning or during the boys' study halls. With only three few meager practices as their background the boys' chorus proceeded to develop into one of the finest groups of male voices yet assembled in Princeton High. Combining the two choruses and using jack Eakle as narrator the music depart- ment presented a program consisting of the highlights of several Gilbert and Sullivan operettas on Friday night, March 18. Ann Joyce Rosenquist, Annette Thomp- son, Eleanor Poppens, Roger Clark, and Richard Doyle were the soloists. As special features Winifred Wilson portrayed Little Buttercup and Bob Rideout the Monarch of the Sea. Stanton Rumley, Robert jas- kowiak, Verne Shaffer and Bill Palmer made up a male quartet that was Carefully on Tiptoe Stealing. Earlier in the year the girls chorus gave a Christmas program to the Womans Club. The script was composed by Mrs. Ruth Skinner and adapated to production by joy Joslyn, Virginia Myer, Barbara Traynor and Winifred Wilson. It depicted Christmas in the present day American home. page forty-Jewell i .Ll in .ga e S .L Left Column, front to ,back-Bill Dyke, Bill Simon, Roger Fahlberg, jack DeBord, Mary Kay Armstrong.

Let me put my arms around you-- are words blasting out of the audi- torium daily during sixth period, and upon investigation one sees Roger Smith, jack Crebs and Don Nix, doing their own spe- cial version of the can-can! to the above tune in preparation for the annual band concert and just having fun. On the more serious side-under the capable and willing direction of Mr. Leland S. Stamm, the fifty-two members of the Princeton Township High School Band have brought to a close another year of endeavor. It was a most successful year, beginning with drilling and marching in preparation for the football season. Led by their drum majorettes, the members of the band per- page forly-eight hifi. milf l':F formed various formations, one of which was an appropriate U. S. A. after which taps were sounded. .The basketball season rolled around, to find the band all decked out in uniform cheering and playing for their Alma Mater. Un spite of the William Tell Overture , the spectators were found occupying their seats at the next gamellj On Armistice Day, the band members willingly gave of their time and effort to partake in the solemn program, although much shivering could be seen. If there were any blue notes that day, it must be blamed on the weather. The public was entertained on May 11, by the annual band concert. A varied pro- gram was given including the solos, The Toy Trumpet by Harley Angle, and When Day is Done by Eunice Eckhoff. Ann Joyce Rosenquist was the featured vocalist. Altogether, the outstanding accompan- iments of this year's band are well worth remembering. page forty-nine N G I 0 -lx M -A Corner'-Norma Boyland.

The Caesar class conducts most of the activities of the club, such as Latin puzzles, games, and the more serious study of the Romans. Only students who have had two years of Latin are eligible for membership in the Latin Club, which meets on. alternate Fri- days. This year the Latin Club Joined the Junior Classical League, a national organization. The members of the Junior Classical League strive to hand on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world. They believe an acquaint' ance with the civilization of Greece and Rome will help them understand and appraise this world of today which is indebted to ancient civilization in its government, laws, literatures, languages, and r arts. The league is open to all students who will uphold this pledge whether they have had Latin or not. There are Leagues all over the United States and in Hawaii. The new silver keys worn by many of the stu- dents are the emblems of the Junior Classical League. The social program includes a semester party. This year Joy Joslyn and Eleanor Poppens were the Consules, Jean Anderson was the Quaestor, Joanne Conley the Scribe, and Joan Piper, Pete Doyle, Marilyn Anderson, and Don Nix were the Aediles. ,fmge fifly First Row-Barbara Skinner, B.ir'li.ir.r Traynor, Shirlee Martin.

The of- ficial Spanish title is Los Sonadoresf' This ap- propriate name was chosen after several meetings filled with many arguments and much discussion concerning the proper calling for the organiza- tion. Following its adoption a theme song was chosen and its words translated into Spanish. Naturally enough the song is Spanish Nights or Noches Espanolesf' They convened two Tuesday evenings every month at different members' homes with several Fiestas for added enjoyment. Spanish alone was spoken at all meetings, but at the Fiestas more em hasis was given to promoting an appreciation an knowledge of Spanish culture and history. Spanish food was served, the members themselves translated currently popular songs into Spanish, and the customs and ideas of Spanish-speaking page people were closely studied. At one of the meet- ings Miss Fanshier related tales of her experiences in Mexico and read several essays that she had written about Mexico. The Christmas celebration was the highlight of the year. It was a progressive dinner ending with a pinata at Barbara Traynorls home. CA pinata is a large bundle of assorted candies and small trinkets suspended from the ceiling in the middle of the room. The bundle is broken by a stick or cane, vveilded by a blind-folded mem- ber, and the others scramble about the floor for the candy scattered by the blowsj. The members wore night-clothes at their celebration depicting their title and theme. Isabelle Ferrell and Barbara Skinner were co- presidents. Shirley Martin was treasurer, and Lenore Ackerson was secretary. Miss lfanshier served as the translator, jefe and advisor. fifly-one v.

From the moment the curtain rose on the junior Class Play April 27 to the very end the audience was given no relief from laughter. The reason being that the play was George Washing- ton Sleptl-Iere adapted from the Broadway suc- cess by Moss Hart and' George S. Kaufman. It was a beautiful summer day when Newton Fuller and his wife, Annabelle, moved into a dilapidated old house in the rural part of Penn- sylvania. With the able assistance of their country- wise hired man, Mr. Kimber, they proceeded to clean up the house where George Washington slept. The house was in very poor condition when they arrived-Martha was a terrible housekeeper -but they managed to tidy it up so that it looked quite modern. Mr. Kimber had to buy gravel, manure, dirt, and tree spray, which ran into money. Also, he dug a well when Newton found that there was no water on the land.

A rich uncle showed up at the crucial moment but turn- ed out to be penniless. Newton and Annabelle decided to return the house to its original condition before Mr. Prescott could get it. The whole house- hold helped break, rip, saw, and ruin the entire house. By bluffing the neighbor, Uncle Stanley finally saved the house for the Fullers, only to have further destruction wrought upon them by a violent hurricane which struck as the curtain came down. The play was ably directed by Miss Fanshier, assisted by two student directors, Ann Avery and Suzanne Combs. Kathryn Nevius and Winifred Wilson were the prompters.

B oys from junior High From Whiteside's outraged cry for Miss Preen to his outburst that he is suing the Stanleys for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars there was no chance for the audience to sleep. From the penguins in the library, the cockroach city, and the octupus presented by William Beebe to the convicts for lunch and the mummy case, no one knew what was going to happen next. It is very seldom that a play given by ama- teurs is considered to have a professional touch, but this year the play cast was given that rare compliment-a compliment we prize very highly. We not only attracted the attenion of several talent scouts from Hollywood, but also their ap- proval. A further compliment came from our director, Miss Fanshier, without whom there could have been no play, which she is allowing us to quote: The cast this ear used their own ima 'ina- Y is tion, yet took directions wellg and it is really a pleasure to work with a cast like that. The cast, at one time, thought of making a play of the cut lines. What a play they would make-wow! The Senior Class play this year brought in more money than any play that has been given in Princeton High School to date.

Every Monday after school the members of the staff meet in Mrs. Combs' room to piece together this informa- tion and form the week's edition of The Weekly Tiger. Co-editors of the paper are joan Winters and Barbara Findley. Ann Avery, Ann Martin, Shirley Fordham, Marlo Polson, Virginia Myer, jerry Seidel, Bob Corneille, and Douglas Kann com- prise the remaining members of the second se- mester staff, with Shirley Dawson keeping the scrapbook. Barbara Traynor, Patsy Russell, Clay Skinner, Charlie Hays, Bill Palmer, Virginia Myer, Winifred Wilson, Gladys Sledgister, Virginia Swan, and Loretta Linn were the first-semester staff, with Shirley Fordham keeping scrapbook. Assignments are rotated, so each member has an opportunity to cover many different activities of the school. All typing was done by Mary Alice Jensen. This, however, wasn't enough for the am- bitious members. Under Mrs. Combs' guidance they started a monthly paper, which was taken over by the first semester Weeklyf Tiger staff, in january. In a contest its name was chosen, the Tiger Rag. Selling for five cents a copy, it was a hit from the beginning. The students wait eager- ly for each month's edition to appear. The 'Tiger Rag was published the last week of each month. The Wfeekly Tiger appeared in each edition of the Bureau County Republican, and also in various other local newspapers. page fy-.fix First Row-Olga Skinner, Mary Alice Jensen.

Naturally, being only slightly prejudiced, we feel that it is a remarkable incident when the picture mounting, the art work, and the photography, which in- cludes, not simply picture taking but develop- ing and enlarging, are taken over by seniors and capably handled. Even with some desired ma- terials unobtainable, and prices extremely high, the staff was undaunted. They continually re- organized their plans and changed their require- ments to meet war conditions. With all good intentions the members of the Staff originally intended to have the work neces- sary all completed before spring so there would be no last minute scurrying. Just the same, naturally, to beat the deadline in April, there were several evening sessions which so closely resembled a chaotic bedlam that the distinction was barely noticeable. However, the work was completed, in spite of crowded quarters, lost articles, typograph- ical errors and all other mishaps that accompany any project.

We had a schedule that was similar to the 43 schedule with a Sterling game substi- tuted for the DeKalb game and an added game with Walnut. We had only five lettermen back and only three of these had seen regular action the entire season. These letter winners were co- captains Bob Ferris and George Skinner, jack Eakle, Harold Powers, seniors, and Verne Shaf- fer, a junior. After a week of preliminary practice in calis- thenics, sprinting and scrimmage, Coach Howard, with the help of Assistant Coach Raymond fMacj McKinty, began to form a nucleus for the 1944 squad. With a very green and inexperienced team we played our first game, on Sept. 18 at home, on Bryant Field, with a powerful Streator eleven which, according to the newspapers, was most certain of an easy win. Princeton fans were pleased with the team's showing, and, though we lost 19 to 18, it was one of the best games of the season. RIDEOUT HANNON XVILTZ season 1945 With a little more confidence we met Hall at Bryant Field on September 22 and were beaten badly by a score of 33-13. Then the following week Rock Falls team came to try their hand, and again we were beaten by a score of 19-18. Sterl- ing was next, on October 6, and that was our worst defeat of the season. The Sterling eleven, and their reserves as well, outweighed us and sur- passed us in experience. The score was 31-7 in favor of Sterling. From then on things looked a little better, and although we had suffered from some injuries, we gained experience and the Tigers began to work together even though there were still many signs of weakness. Walnut, who was stronger than they had been in years, was our last home game, on October 13. The score was a tie 0-0, Princeton looked very poor, and Walnut played one of the best games they played all season. At Geneseo, on October 20, the Tigers took the lead, with Powers pounding the line time af- TRAYNOR FREDRICKSON BERGLUND ' ' -' v l l l 1644 football season 1945 ter time for gains. Ar the end of the third quarter Princeton was ahead 14-12, but in the last quarter Geneseo went wildl and made three touchdowns. The final score wals 34-14 in favor of Geneseo. Resolving to pull together, the Tigers went to Mendota fighting mad and for the first time all year played heads-up ball. Princeton trouped over her opponents to a 28-0 victory. The rest of the season the Tigers were tough. They went to Hall for a return game on Nov. 3 and stopped their offense cold. Princeton pushed them all over the field, and, thopgh in scoring position several times we couldn't put the ball over the goal. After the half, the Hall team came out and made one spurt thait gave them the scoring touch- down. The final store was 7-0. Our last gamel at Kewanee, was played on November 10. Kewanee was supposed to beat Princeton by a large margin, but to the surprise of everyone we showed them up, time and again we passed, and several times ran almost to their goal line. Kewanee succeeded in making a touch- down. Senior letter winners this year were Bob Fer- ris, George Skinner, james Coulter, Howard Pier- son, jack Eakle, Harold Powers, Howard Troupa, and Ernest Larson, the junior letter winners were Verne Shaffer, Ivan Matson, Douglas Kann, Donald Traynor, Charles Hayes, jerry Seidel, Francis Hannon, Albert Fredrickson, Verden White, and Charles Berglundg the Sophomore let- ter winners were George Eggers, Dick Wiltz, and Bob Rideout. The managers were Robert Jasko- wiak, Max Bader, and Dick Kirkpatrick. Verne Shaffer, a junior, and George Eggers, a sophomore, were elected co-captains for next year, and this was announced at the annual foot- ball banquet held for players and fans. Several players were selected for the all-con- ference teams. These were George Skinner, guard, second team, and Bob Ferris and Dick Wiltz were given honorable mention.

Sectional Tournament at LaSalle Princeton vs. Toluca ....,.............Regional Tournament fherej 1944 varsity basketball 1945 The 1944-1945 Basketball Team which report- ed to Coach Bill Howard in the third week of November was decidedly not in the favored col- umn during the first of the season. These early reports were caused by terrific losses in the gradu- ated upperclassmen and the non-experienced material which reported from last year's Frosh- Soph. team. The only lettermen back were Cap- tain Eakle, Bob Ferris, Harold Powers and How- ard Pierson. All these seniors with the exception of Eakle had seen little action. With a determined attitude to improve and win, Ferris, Shaffer, Hal- berg, and Mercer teamed with Eakle to round out a hard-working quintet XVe went to our first games and won some, though others were lost by large margins. Our Princeton five came out of the Christmas holidays just an average team, but from there they began noticeably to improve, more games were lost, but the team's scoring began constantly increasing, and the losses sustained were by narrow margins, such as 48 to 47 fto Mendotaj and 41 to 40 fto Wenonaj. Then came the Bureau County Tournament, in which the Tiger quintet was not expected to show. Princeton's first test was against a DePue favored team, which Princeton soundly defeated 54-39. The next game was of approximately the same caliber, the opponents Sheffield-who had defeated us earlier in the season. The game was won by a very close margin of two points, 39-37. By this time the fans were very much aroused and, though they had not expected as much, they found that Princeton had a winning team, which made a very good tournament squad. Then in an- other close game the Ohio five was beaten by a score of 38-36. This put Princeton in the finals against Hall Township, who had breezed through the other bracket of the tournament. In the first part of this crucial game the Princeton five took shot after shotg but, never- theless, they fell behind the Hall team. The Hall team, employing strategy which we had not con- templated, began to stall in the middle of the second quarter in an effort to break up Prince- ton's zone defense. Our players decided to hold their defense and both teams just stood there while Hall held the ball for about two quarters of the game. In the last quarter Princeton went into a man to man defense, as many uptown quarterbacks argued they should have done earlier, however, QContinued on page sixty-eightj IEAKLE FERRIS SHAFFER A .f 3 ff 'xTgqi- KN? ku, pu 4, s,.y. -bmgy 5 if f LN-.x , 1 1 :'. bw- f V - 'E FN Q Q ffkan ' g.

The final score was Hall 33, Prince- ton 25. After the tournament Princeton maintained its pace by defeating Geneseo and Mendota in quick succession. Then came a let-down from the tournament, in which we lost several close games. This let-down lasted up to the time of the State Regional Tournament, when we were again de- cidedly the underdogs. The Tigers were a good tournament squad and again Princeton came through, winning the tournament in three close games. The tournament was held on our home floor and the first team to oppose us was the Hall five who had beaten us in the Bureau County Tournament. Hall was eliminated in a mild upset 39-38. In the semi-finals Princeton was extended into two overtimes to defeat a de- termined DePue team. The winning basket was a beautiful set shot by the mighty mite-Bill Hal- berg. This basket set the stage for a repeat per- formance of the 1944 Regional Championship in which Princeton bowed to St. Bede in the last five seconds by a one-in-a-minute shot. Princeton started the 1945 contest without the services of its regular center, Bob Ferris. With the able pinch- hitting of Charlie Hays, the Tigers turned the tables completely and victory was ours with a 52-31 score. HAYS POWERS Our quintet then traveled to the sectional tournament at LaSalle-Peru High School where it met defeat in a game with Toluca, which was in reality our inferior. This ended the season for a team consisting of one freshman, jay Mercer, a sophomore, Bill Halberg, a junior, Verne Shaffer, and completed the high school basketball careers of Bob Ferris and Captain jack Eakle. Eakle played on the first team for three years and was elected captain his senior year. He was considered an exceptional player throughout the area, being elected to the all-conference basketball team in his junior and senior years and made captain in his final year. The squad and Mr. Howard owe much of their success to the able scouting and assistance of Mr. McKinty. Players selected for the all-conference team from Princeton were: CAPT. jack EAKLE .... rx Capt.

KANN RIDEOUT 1944 traclc 1945 The track team this year showed good possi- bilities at the first of the season. Ferris ran the half mile, the 440 yard dash, and was a member of the relay team. jack Eakle ran the 100 and 220 yard dashes and also participated in the broad jump. Verne Shaffer pole vaulted, ran the high and low hurdles, and also put the shot.

The Players, mostly freshmen, were green at first, but by the end of the season they were well on their way to the beginning of their training. Already they have gained much in that ever essential experience which they will need in playing varsity football. The games were all against the frosh-soph teams of the schools which the varsity squad played and other teams such as St. Bede's. There were several games with Hall. At the end of the season when the varsity team began clicking, the frosh-sophs did likewise. They began to run and charge like the football players that will make up our varsity squad for the next three years. The future looks promising. SCHEDULE Mendota ...,,..............

His squad, though depleted part of the time by the loss of Butch Graham to the varsity, was still a good team and won a fairly good percentage of their games. They played the fresh-soph teams of the scheduled varsity competitors. There were many games by which they could gain experience which will hold them in good stand when they move on to the varsity squad. They played a schedule of twenty-five games many of which were with teams beyond their strength such as DeKalb, but they always fought all the way. Most of the Kit- tens' games were close, however, and therefore our basketball future looks bright. Lots of luck to the Tigers of the future.

Intramurals Interest in intramural sports has shown a great increase this year over that of previous years, due to Mr. Howards efforts in organizing contests in basketball, wrestling, track and soft- ball. In all intramural games and activities a large turnout of boys participating had made these pro- grams successful. A basketball tournament took place during the winter months before and after vacations up to the last of February. The championship was won by the Helpcats who had a final score of nine wins and no losses. The second place team was the Lucky- Seven which lost only to the Helpcats. The Streaks finished third with a total of seven wins and two losses. The games were normally run off after school with members of the varsity basketball squad officiating. In the interval between basketball and track season Coach Howard introduced a wrestling tournament into each of the gym classes. The winners of the four weight divisions Q1. up to 120 pounds, 2. 120 pounds to 140 pounds, 3. 140 pounds to 160 pounds, and 4, 160 pounds upj in each gym class met after school in a final tournament where the championship bouts were page .reuenly-Iwo Intramurals fought. There were several upsets, not anticipated, which made the matches interesting for the crowd that attended. The champions were as follows: heavyweight-james Coulter, light heavyweight- lvan Matson, lightweight-Bob Rideoutg and featherweight-Kenneth Bernard. To stimulate track interest at the first of the season, an interclass track meet was instigated by Mr. Howard for the purpose of affording an af- ternoon of entertainment and to discover potential material which he may have overlooked. The events were run off on three successive after- noons. The junior class won the meet by a score of 77-74 over the seniors. The sophomores accounted for 32 points and the freshmen came in last with 13. In April an intramural baseball league was set up with approximately six teams. Each captain was allowed to choose his own players and games were played off one or two an afternoon. The captains of the teams were jerry Brolley, Bob Corneille, Harold Powers, Jay Mercer, Bill Butterfield, and Ernest Larsen. Impetus has been given to intramural sports due to the war's demand for physical fitness pro- grams and the need for something constructive to occupy the leisure time of the students. page Jez.fer11y-three 1944 golf 1945 In the spring of 1944 four lettermen, co- captains Gibbons, Eakle, Zearing, and Walker, returned to the Fairways. As in the past, Prince- ton had a good golf team and always one to con- tend with. With little practice, Princeton, represented by Gibbons, Williams, Zearing, Eakle, and Larson, entered the State District Meet, held at Peoria, and finished fourth as a team. However, jack Eakle toured the Peoria course in 79 and his low individual score qualified him for the State Finals, held a week later at Mt. Hawley Country Club, Peoria. Eakle represented Princeton at the State Finals and place thirtieth among some eighty contenders for the State Championship. The 1944 Golf Season was closed with Prince- ton soundly defeating Dixon in a match at Dixon, 12-5. Congratulations, team, for carrying on in such splendid form in spite of war restrictions! This year's team, 1945, has one returning let- ter winner, jack Eakle, with plenty of ,reserve power in Dixon Robb, Harry Price, Roger Springer, and Bob Ferris, all of whom have had one year experience in High School competition.
