LELAND STAMM TT IS WITH A DEEP sense of pride and admiration that we, the 1954 TIGER staff, dedicate our book to Mr. Leland Stamm. Mr. Stamm came to Princeton High School in 1942. During the time he has been here, the P. H. S. Band has grown in both size and popularity. The school and the Princeton com- munity may be justly proud of Mr. Stamm and his consistently excellent band. The high regard we feel for Mr. Stamm was brought to the surface for all of us just a little over a year ago. Our admiration for him grew stronger as we observed his valiant effort to recover from his painful accident. Now, lit- tle more than a year later, we proudly and affectionately dedicate this book to our almost fully recovered Mr. Stamm.

We hope you will enjoy reading this annual as much as we enjoyed preparing it for you. It is something that will bring memories back to all of us—memories of our high school years. This year our theme involves taking you on a tour through our school. We are confident the tour'' we have provided will give you an inter- esting record of all the organizations, sports, and other activities which are to be found in our school. We also hope it will help you to know better your classmates and teachers. Perhaps, too, the knowledge you gain through these pages will help you to appreciate the parts of our school that usually go unseen and unsung. Please keep this book as a reminder of the Class of '54, and the achievements made by our class during the past four years. Now, in conclusion, we, the co-editors, wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Kenny for his help and advice, and to our co-workers on the staff for their loyal cooperation in the work of producing this year's annual. —Carol Swanson —Tom Thompson Page Eleven SCHOOL COALO From left tu right MR. MILKS W. BRYANT. MR. CHARLES T. FAWCETT. MR JAMES H. LOWRY. MR. HAROLD STEELE. MR. C. A. MARKMAN AT ANY THANKS go to our school board! Although they are all business men in the community, they always find the time to render service to our school whenever it is needed. They guide us through many problems and do a fine job in hiring our faculty. The board meets regularly on the second Tues- day of every month, and at various other times when necessary. Each year the Board of Education presents the entire student body with a fine Christ- mas party. Mr. Charles T. Fawcett is the very able presi- dent of this efficient group. Other board members are Mr. C. A. Markman, Mr. Harold Steele, Mr. James H. Lowry, and Mr. Miles W. Bryant. We, the students of Princeton High School, wish to express our thanks and appreciation to our Board of Education! Page Fourteen PRINCIPAL MR. CHARLES C. HOLT JN THE LAST TWO YEARS of our stay at P. H. S., Mr. Holt has encouraged us and supported us loyally. We of the senior class know well and appreciate the time and effort he has given to his work and to us. He has been a wonderful friend and leader for all of us. With a friendly smile, a helping hand, and many words of wisdom, he has guided us w'ell through our last two happy years at old P. H. S. Speaking for the entire student body, as well as for ourselves, we, the Class of 1954, here wish to extend our deepest appreciation to our principal, Mr. Holt.

Also, they work many hours after school preparing banquets and dinners for school and other organizations. The custodians, Mr. Jack DeVore, Mr. Bill Schultz, and Mr. John Betz, are always around to keep the building well heated and clean and take care of the campus or to open a locked door and turn on a light. We appreciate the kind way in which these peoplt- have worked for us. Thank you very, very much.

Now, during this senior year of our high school career, we as a class have come closer together than at any time during the previous years. We know now school isn't all fun. We have learned that we must work hard and strive to attain, through our studies, a knowledge and wisdom which will stay with us in the years to come. For their fine cooperation, I wish to express my thanks to my fellow class officers: Gary Christiansen, vice president; Mary Morrison, sec- retary; and Hazel Conkling, treasurer. To the faculty goes heartfelt gratitude for the opportuni- ties they have given us in our efforts to gain a fine education. To Mr. Sheffer and Miss Bean, our very capa- ble advisers, thank you for the wonderful job you have done in directing our activities. To Mr. Holt, who has been our principal during our last two years in high school, thank you for your guidance. To my classmates, I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do. To the classes that follow us, good luck and farewell. —Dick Hamilton MR. SHEFFER MISS BEAN Pa :e Twenty two SEN ICES John George Ackerman Tiger Staff. 4; North Central Chorus. 4; Chorus. 4; F. F.

That was the year the Senior Class of 1954 started on its way. In the year 1940 we had our first class meeting and decided then to be the best class in P. H. S. (Of course, only a few were present at that meet- ing because it was at the Logan and Douglas kindergartens.) As we grew older more kids joined the class. Remember the fun on the ice pond at Doug- las; or the little play that the Logan fifth grade put on; or the fun on the battlefield at Lincoln; or the baseball games among the country schools? In 1947, a lot of us entered junior high school. After the first two years we gained renown as being the worst class there. But we didn't let it get us down. We put on the first operetta in junior high— H. M. S. Pinafore.” Then came eighth grade graduation! We sure felt old! Remember the speeches the country kids had to make? (Barb Simon came down with chicken-pox and didn t even make it!) Anyway we all thought it was the best graduation ever. And it was, too! Remember Mcct-Your-High-School Day? All the girls were wondering what to wear, and the boys were a little excited, too. Their main interest, though, was getting out of a day of school. The seniors looked awfully old, and we thought we d never remember all the rooms. All summer long we waited anxiously for school to start, and then came the fateful day! Everything was new and exciting. The first day almost everyone was late to at least one class. We didn't run to cafeteria line! (I know this is un- believable.) After the first few weeks of school, we had our first class meeting. Gale Pearce was elected president, and we had an awful time trying to decide on a class yell. Homecoming was pretty pitiful. It seems you can always tell freshman floats. There were only three Frosh at the Home- coming dance. It was just a little new and strange yet for them. I think everyone will agree that it was a wonderful year! Finally we weren’t lowly freshmen anymore. We were sophomores! Maybe being a soph is just as bad. We weren't freshmen and yet not an upper- classman. We had a lot of fun, though. Gale Pearce was re-elected president. Remember the paper drive? Everyone was going to help so much, and it turned out only a few helped. We had a great time at the sophomore banquet. Miss Ash- down clued us on our manners and just how to act. (We did a pretty good job, too.) I think everyone will remember how Gale fixed the spark plugs on everyone's car, including Mr. Sheffer's! At the end of our sophomore year we had a great big class picnic at Lime Rock. It was sure a lot of fun. Most of the kids went swimming, but there were some who just stuck to wading and throwing fire-crackers. Just after we ate, it started to rain. We just made it up the hill in time and finished the picnic over at Mary's house. We were upperclassmen! Juniors! The boys decided to take over the political end of the class and despite the girls' efforts, we had all boy offi- cers. Stan Peterson was elected president. (Even the girls will agree that he made a good one.) By this time we were somewhat involved in float- making. Mr. Maechtle's homeroom won first prize. What happened to Mr. Sheffer's homeroom? It seems to me that they got into trouble. The junior class play Our Miss Brooks went off swell much to everyone's surprise, especially the cast! Remem- ber the grammar contests in English class and the picnic out at the park? It was loads of fun even if there wasn't enough food. Decorating for Bac- calaureate and Commencement was fun, too. Wc really worked hard, though. What about the Senior assembly? It sure felt funny to take the place of the seniors and give their yell. Of course, the prom was probably the most important event of the junior year. I think it was as wonderful as each one thought it would be. This year—-at last we’re seniors! It seems as if the years have just flown by, and only last week we were freshmen. We're used to the class yell now, and act as if we own the school. There is so much to do this year. I wonder if we'll get it all done. We are trying to earn money like crazy. The senior class play was just swell—Annette and Sue stole the show. They sure were good! Naturally, the highlight of our senior year was having the basketball team go to State. That sort of makes our high school days complete, doesn't it? When we look back on them, there'll be a lot of things that'll stand out in our minds—little things, too, besides Commencement.

HOME CCCM 113 S BEWILDERED FRESHMEN, we entered that huge building” and proceeded into Miss Ashdown’s homeroom. During this first year, we worked up a discussion panel. We traveled to many homerooms giving our talks. The next year we were more confident; we were sophomores and much smarter than freshmen! During this year, we were switched from Miss Ashdown’s room to Miss Fry’s room. Finally we were upper classmen! We were juniors! We stayed in Miss Fry’s room long enough for homecoming. Our float seemed like a wonderful idea, but it didn't work out «quite as planned. Well, this home- room didn’t seem to last long, for soon we were transferred to Mr. Walters’ home- room, 115. As our officers, we elected Louie Flinn, the sports star, as our president; Fat Duck” Oloffson as our vice president, and Dianne Rosencjuist as our treasurer. (No one got away without paying their bills!) Altogether our stay in Princeton High School has been a very nice one. Page Thirty-four JUNIORS First Row: Mary Lou Tyne. F.llcn Nally.

HOME 111 wn; H MISS MALSBURY as our supervisor, we began the year with the election of officers. Jim Small, our capable president, has seen us through many ups and downs, including the preparation of our home room float. He has had able assistance from Jack Wright, our vice president; Neil Rosenc, our treasurer; and finally a representative for the weaker sex, Elaine Nelson, acting as secretary. Though our float last year came in second, we didn’t have quite that luck this year. A strong wind and a weak frame produced disastrous results! Regardless of the results, though, we did enjoy working together. While we had our hayrack handy, we decided to make use of it by going on a hay- ride. Everyone had a lot of fun, and though several complained of freezing to death, there were no fatalities. As our time has been very limited this year, our homeroom has not been able to enter any activities as a group. We are proud, however, of the representation by our home room in the various activities around school. Page Thirty-five J U NICKS First Row: Mary Ann Rockstad, Marjorie Schroedcr, Sandra Sharick.

We elected Ted Johnson as president and Mary Ann Rockstad as vice president. We decided to combine the offices of treasurer and secretary, and Marjorie Schroeder was elected to that office. When it came time for the homecoming parade plans to be made, we all put our brains (??) together and struggled to think of ideas. With a little help from an outsider, we came up with a float that should have taken first prize. Oh, well, maybe we can win riext year! We were very fortunate to have an outstanding group of athletes in our homeroom. Kenneth Fioterek was our class mascot, with all his little medals and his championship wrestling belt. With this combination of wonderful guys and gals, and Mr. Kenny, our adviser, Homeroom 204 was one of the best in school! (We think, anyway!!). JUNICES First Row: Mary Huey. Karen Rockcy.

It was preferred that all of the class officers be in one homeroom, so several of us were imported to 307 to be with one of our class advisers, Mr. McKinty. As it turned out. Miss Wright and Mr. Walters were appointed our class advisers. That being the case, Mr. McKinty and Miss Wright traded homerooms, placing us in 301. The trade wasn’t transacted until November, so we were with Mr. McKinty when float time came around. After much debate we decided upon the slogan, 'Let's Worm’em Out. We carried out this idea using chicken wire molded in the form of an apple and stuffed with yellow napkins to resemble a Golden Delicious. The big green worm com- ing out of one side was very realistic. Carol Rheeling donated her garage to work in, Ted Harris loaned us his wagon, and Jack Hade secured the tractor.

Mr. Howard greeted us w ith a cheery smile. Of course, if we could have seen farther into the future, we may have been a little leary”. But being good children, we became resigned to our fate, and so we elected officers. Jim Wright was top man, so he became our president. Vice president is an easy job, so we elected Dick (Star) Coddington. Business and money wx re some things we never had, so we combined the offices, secretary and treasurer, and gave that job to Bob (Eddy) Carlson. We had loads of fun and excitement while working on our float. The judges must have liked it a little because we tied for third place! We had a lot of fun in Homeroom 105, especially when Mr. Howard w'ould discuss someone's problems?? (So he called them). He always seemed to know just what every- one had been doing. Have you got spies around, Mr. Howard? We hope he enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed him. We ll see you next year as juniors!! (We HOPE!!!)

HOME ROOM 3C7 VUR FIRST (yes, we were one of those homerooms who got changed during the course of the year) homeroom was on the first floor (just right for walking) with Miss Wright. It didn't stay on first floor long, for we were such a healthy, numerous hunch, we had to move all the way to the third floor to the little theatre. The girls didn't stand a chance, as you can see. Those elected to rule over us In- dians were: Don Hanson, who was chief; John Poffinbarger, who took the minutes; and Bradley Pihl, who collected money (when we were lucky enough to get some). Our homecoming float was kept in Bob Hanna’s big garage. Miss Wright gave us all the help we could have needed. The float was cute,” but each to his own opinion, huh, judges? Soon after homecoming we left Miss Wright and went to stay with Mr. McKinty (still on third floor.) Mr. McKinty was swell to cope with us sophomores, and for all we know, he might be seeing all our bright faces every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next year when we ll all be JUNIORS!

But each and ever)' day Mr. Durham, our teacher, cheered us up with his funny quips or by telling us something about one of the kids in the room. Later on, as we were ordered, we elected our officers. They were: Dennis Keleher, president; Ray Seidel, vice president; and Danny McDonald, secretary and treasurer. All of us, while we were building it, thought that we had a good float, but we didn't win any prize. Almost ever) day there was a dog outside our windows. We finally figured out that there was some person or persons who had a magnetic appeal for the canine race! Also in our room was Miss Beach, who added glitter to the nondescript things of every-day classroom life. Oh, by the way, we are sophomores and members of the class of '56. All in all, we had lots of fun throughout the year. We all hope that we have the same students and teacher next year. II SCPFCMCCES SCPHCMCEES First How: Sharon Beams. Sandra Johnstone.

The boys always had to change all the notices on the blackboard and add a few of their own. The girls seemed to migrate to the seats near the windows to talk over the problems of the women s world. The bell would sound loud and clear, and there was always a scurry to get to your seat before our wonderful new teacher. Miss Metter, took roll. Somehow she managed to keep everyone still long enough to count noses and to get an idea of how many of us were going to eat at school. Amid all this confusion, however, we did manage to do the few things ever)' home- room had to. One of those things was to elect officers. They were: ALMIGHTY HIGH '—David Yepson; SECOND MOST MIGHTY ONE —Betty Lashley, and the last, MOST TRUSTED ONE —Roberta Glenn. The second thing we did was to get together and create a masterpiece for the Homecoming Parade. Although we didn’t win any prizes, we had a great deal of fun and put in a good deal of work.

As soon as we got situated, we elected officers. We elected Johnny Smith as president; Pat Skaggs as vice president; Virginia Simon as secretary; and Terry Wright as treasurer. The homeroom float which we stuck” together at June Yardley’s house didn’t seem to win first prize (or any prize, as far as that goes). I wonder why. Later on in the year, we were shifted to Miss Fry's Homeroom 108, and remained there for the rest of the year. Every morning we were serenaded by Jon Sandberg with the piano. This has been fiction and fact from Miss Fry's homeroom. See you next year! FRESHMEN First Row: Joan Chase. Beverly Clarkson. Donna Nawa. Ellen Carlson. Tamara Castner. Shirley Anson.

H€ME RCCM 2C2 THE FIRST DAY of school, you may have happened to see twenty bewildered freshmen in the general vicinity of Miss Ashdown's homeroom. Strangely enough we managed to survive that first day; at least no one was reported missing. As we got into the swing of school we decided to elect officers. The final results were as follows: President, Mary Brown; vice president. Dean Byrd; secretary, Bette Cathcart; treasurer, Dale Chelin, and cheerleader, Eric Bouxsein. We were proud to have in our homeroom two of our Freshman class officers. They were Bette Cathcart, treasurer, and Eric Bouxsein, cheerleader. We managed to survive the shock when our float won third prize in the Homecoming Parade. Homeroom 202 was more surprised than anyone. It was put together in the few hours before the parade. The design was about three ideas made into one float. Page Fortv thrcc fCCSHHEN First Row: Edward Downer, Walter Hopkins. Carl Cutsinger. Second Row: Richard Flaig. Richard Hauf. Brian Foster.

HOME ECCM 3C3 N THE FIRST DAY of school, twenty-two freshmen came into the never-to-be- v- forgotten Homeroom 303. We started the year off by electing officers. For president we elected Dick Hauf, vice president was Denny Dufficld, and we elected Betty Espel to do all the hard work as secretary. Treasurer was Judy Del Monte. The lucky girl! We thought the float we had for homecoming was really something, but apparently the judges thought differently. Walter Hopkins was the first freshman to play on the sophomore basketball team. What homeroom was he from? 303, of course! Then semester tests came. There were never such worried freshmen. The kids in Room 303 were studying out loud, and Mr. Grace was trying to tell us to be quiet; but we were so scared we had to talk. Our homeroom didn't have any parties the first semester. The only parties we went to were the ones to which the whole school was invited. We thought we were the most outstanding homeroom in the school, and among the freshmen we thought we were the tops.

HC HE E€€M 3IC QOPS' PARDON ME.” said a dazed young freshman who was hurrying up the stairs to reach his homeroom on the third floor before the bell rang. On he rushed, finally reaching the top floor, where he stopped a moment to catch his breath before hurrying on. He became quite frustrated when he found that the door was locked. To the other end of the hall he hastened. After going through another homeroom and the science room, he finally arrived at Room 310 with a few minutes left to hear the latest news. If this freshman had told you that there was a royal queen in that room, you would not have believed him. But it was true. Who was this attractive young monarch? Well, the lady of whom we are speaking is Pat Nelson, who reigned as freshman queen during Homecoming. While high school was still new and a little bit strange, an election of officers was held. When the votes had been counted, the results were as follows: president, Pat Nel- son. (Dear, dear! What a mixed up world. Just think, a queen and a president being the same person!) Assisting her was Pat Lawes, vice president. Our secretary-treasurer was David Larson. Our homeroom certainly didn't lack pep! How could it with three cheerleaders? Last, but not least, was the homeroom teacher, Mr. Ott, who was always ready to tell you about the cross-country team or his views on any subject you wanted to mention. Now that you have read all this, don't you wish you had been in Homeroom 310? Page Forty-five UNDERCLASS CEEICLDS First Row: Curtis Hultecn. Bette Cathcart. Richard Haul. Carol Fiedrickson.

Ted Molen, Jack Hade HTHE JUNIOR CLASS elected the officers as follows: John Hade, president; Ted Molen, vice president; Joe Ruklick, treasurer; Mary Huey, secretary. Because of the junior class's high integ- rity, there were no dirty politics in the election! Miss Wright and Mr. Walters were our class spon- sors. The junior class worked hard on its several money-making projects. The junior class was well represented in all activities, and members of the class were good school citizens. The juniors func- tioned well under the leadership of Atom Bomb” (Hade), Ralph Waldo (Molen), Bevo (Ruk- lick), and Brains” (Huey). The outstanding achievement was Newkie Newcomer blowing up the chemistry lab! John Hade • The sophomore class is the largest class in the school. (I might add that we think it is also the best class in school.) There are about 125 students. Class officers elected last school term were as fol- lows: Mary Stamm, president; Nancy Sutcliffe, vice president; Charlene Elliott, secretary; and Sandra Wigal, treasurer. During the summer Sandra moved to Missouri, and Curtis Hulteen was elected to fill the vacancy. With the fine help of Miss Beach and Mr. Maechtle, our class advisers, the class of '56 can really go places! Mary Stamm • The month of September, 1953, will always have a special meaning for our class. It was then we launched ourselves on four of what we hope- will be the happiest years of our lives. Stumbling through the maze of halls of P. H. S.,.we were guided by the capable and understanding class ad- visers, Miss Malsbury and Mr. Goble. Results of class elections were: Richard Hauf, president; Carol Fredrickson, vice president; Sylvia Larson, secretary; and Betty Cathcart, treasurer. We wish the incoming freshman class good luck, best wishes and may all their hopes be realized.

Officers elected at the 1953 annual brunch, which was held at the home of Mary Morrison the last week of May, were as follows: Girls' chorus: President, Andora Hedenschoug; Vice president. Hazel Conkling; Secretary, Mary Morri- son; Treasurer, Dorothy Chambers. Boys’ chorus: President, Don Faley; Vice president, Larry Kem- per; Secretary-treasurer, Stan Peterson. The first event of the fall calendar was the North Central Music Festival. After careful prep- aration, we were able to send fourteen girls and eighteen boys to represent Princeton High School. It was a delightful experience for those who were able to participate. Next to appear on the calendar was our Christmas Candlelight Concert on December 21. The entire choral department took part in this presentation. This occasion also marked the first appearance of the Noon Chorus which was or- ganized this year. Turning our calendar farther along, we find that in 1954 many careful practices awaited us to make ready for our annual spring concert. The wheels began to roll, however, as we turned our record shop into a Wheel of Song. Oh, what difficulties we encountered when we found our calendar filled with state basketball tournaments. Despite our handicaps, with hard work on every- one’s part, and with Miss Fry’s patience, we came forth with another record-breaking” perform- ance. As we look over the final month of our chorus calendar, we find our group spending days pre- paring selections for Baccalaureate and Com- mencement. With these events, we turn the final page of our calendar. First Row: Karen Spencer. Sharon Dobson. Frances Gapinski, Mar) Lynn Stamm. Mary Ellen Tonkinson, Mike Hussey. Walter Hop- kins.

BAND is composed of eighty-five hardworking members. These members were off to a good start as they opened the fall session of school at the foot- ball games. The new uniforms certainly added something to the season this year. Not only was the playing sharp, but our appearance was sharp too. On the whole, we had a very successful sea- son with Mr. Stamm and his band. Ted Molen, the drum major, did a really fine job. Some of us were fortunate enough to get to attend the N. I. C. I. Music Festival held at Sterl- ing, and it was a wonderful experience. That morning was spent rehearsing for the evening performance. The rehearsals were a great opportunity to get acquainted with other students. The band was directed by Joseph Skorinka of the Milwaukee Public Schools. Here came dear old St. Nick. Who was that heading the parade? Why, the P. H. S. band, of course. Everyone loves the cool, crisp season of Christmas. Recall the night of February 23? That was the night of the annual spring concert. Everyone gets all keyed up for the one night that we have to perform. Months of long, hard practice were spent in preparation for two hours of show. It was a great success, with everything going off in topnotch style. Then came that last, long Memorial Day march for the Seniors, the end of four wonder- ful years of band. They walked the last mile” up Main Street, and the busy year was over. But there are always other willing and ready students to take over.

Annette Eckdahl, Lucille Gapinski, Frances Starr, and Andora Hedenschcug. 'J’HIS YEAR eleven students participated in the cadet teaching program. This program is for students who are interetsed in becoming teachers. The cadets were able to teach almost any subject available in the elementary schools. Mr. Bone met with these students and ex- plained how they would help the teachers with their classes, and what they were expected to do. The cadets were given assignments which lasted sixt weeks. Most of them were then given different subjects to teach the next six weeks. To learn what some of the cadets taught, let us go along to their classes with them. Annette Eckdahl went down to the Douglas school the first six weeks and helped with the fourth and fifth grades. On her next assignment, she went to the first grade at the Lincoln school. Frances Starr had a busy time since she went to all three schools and taught music. The next six weeks she was assigned to the second grade at Logan. Carole Birkey and Barbara Simon taught phy- sical education at Logan, and Carole also helped with math classes. Alice Landrus did special work at Logan with two youngsters who were learning to speak Eng- lish, and she helped at Lincoln the next six weeks. Dick Small worked with math and physical educa- tion classes at Logan. Lucille Gapinski helped in kindergarten at Douglas first period, and the second grade last six weeks. Jim Becker's assignment was physical edu- cation and health in Junior High. Carol Swanson, Andora Hedenschoug, and Doreen Conant helped at Lincoln the first period. Then Carol remained at Lincoln with the kinder- garten. Andora transferred to the eighth grade English at Logan, and Doreen transferred to fourth grade at Douglas. Page Fifty-four ACT CLUB T TNDER THE VERY EINE and inspirational leadership of Mrs. Walter, the Art dub spent its academic year studying what lies behind the painted picture. Both the elementary and more complex information needed to understand and really appreciate art in all its various forms were the goals of our work. To any one who thinks that art is a snap course—that all you have to do is draw what you want when you want to—let us quickly assure him that he is on the wrong track. In many ways art is like any other course. You are provided with the information and help you need to under- stand the problems in the subject, and you arc- taught the special skills you need to obtain the effect you desire. But, as in other courses, the burden is upon you to absorb the information and to put it into practice. This year a pottery kiln was purchased for the art class. Six weeks were spent in experimenting with clay. The clay was worked and molded and then left to dry. Mrs. Walter fired the clay at a very high temperature. After the pieces were fired once, they were glazed and fired again. The proj- ect proved to be very successful. Our pieces were displayed in one side of the trophy case. Next year we hope to do better and profit by our mis- takes. Since the Art club meets in the home of Mrs. Walter, the atmosphere is quite different from that of the ordinary classroom. More informality is possible, and the students may exchange infor- mation and joke about their work—so long, of course, as they don't interfere with progress on their own work or that of others. And the witty remarks of Mrs. Walter, along with her ever- ready willingness to help, make for good feelings and change from the more routine activities of the day.

There are so many jobs to be done, it takes hard work on the part of everyone. Mr. Kenny, our able adviser, never seems to grow impatient, despite disagree- ments and problems” that always seem to work out! In this room and with the help of these people, our 1954 Tiger was born! Some of the staff members who worked the hardest were Tom Thompson and Carol Swanson, the co-editors. They had quite a bit of responsi- bility. Naturally, the editors of each department did their part: activities editor, Julie Cassidy; sports editor, Don Faley; classes editor, Mary Mor- rison ; snapshots editor, Margaret Naborowski; ad- ministration, Hazel Conkling; art editor, Bob Mid- daugh; calendar. Sue Smith; and photographers, Fred Pierson and Jack Pannebaker. In addition to the editors, there were many other students who worked hard to make the book a success. Hardly a day went by without seeing Andora Hedcnschoug, Julie Wilson, Norma Nel- son, Gary Christiansen, Bob Gleason, Fran Starr, Jean Gilmister, and Jean Wilson in the annual room working hard to clear up odds and ends. Besides the work of these departments and individuals, the annual couldn't have been pro- duced if it weren’t for our business staff, headed by Bob Stewart, our copy readers, our clerks and typists, and, of course, our adviser, Mr. Kenny. We hope you enjoy it I Rage Fifty-six WHAT DO YOU SAY Let's get the copy in by Thursday! Please! First semester Mary Huey and Ted Johnson could be heard saying this, and Connie Piper and Mary Ann Rockstad repeated it second semester. At our Monday meetings you would have heard Sharon Whitten and Sandy Sharick, or Jo Anne Doyle and Elaine Nelson trying to get material for feature articles. Then Mary Huey would show her latest incriminating picture or tell about Hoiman da Voiman's escapades. Warren Creviston, Mary K. Wilkins, and Pat Oloffson covered sports activities for the paper. Each week Pat Bohm anil Carol Rheeling inter- viewed our P. H. S. celebrity, while Connie Hud- son, Pat Augdahl, and Mary Lou Riordan kept track of dub doings. Pasting away, filling our scrapbook, were Debbie Fawcett and Marilyn Aim. There were other willing workers, namely, Janet Howe, Annette Norene, Karen Rockey, Carol Jean Smith, Phyllis Gleason, Barb Sapp, and Jane Finn, who cheerfully did whatever needed to be done. The Weekly Tiger Staff members would like to thank our adviser, Miss Bean, for her patience and able guidance. We should also like to express our appreciation to The Republican for the part its staff had in putting out our paper. WEEI Ly EICEE SEAEE First Row: Connie Piper. Jo Anne Doyle. Elaine Nelson.

Page Fifty-seven NATIONAL TICNCL SOCIETY HTHIS ORGANIZATION is composed of not more than fifteen per cent of the senior gradu- ating class and five per cent of the junior class. This year on February 25 the senior officers con- ducted an assembly at which time we received our new members. The new members received their pins from Mrs. Raymond McKinty, and the offi- cers received their guards from Mr. Harry Peter- son. The National Honor Society recognizes char- acter, scholarship, leadership, and service. There- fore, high grades alone do not admit a student, even though he must rank in the upper third of his class. This year the group sponsored the Teacher- for-a-Day program, in the fall, and Meet-Your- High-School Day in the spring. The group alsc continued work on the handbook that was being prepared. In the spring we held our second an- nual Daffodil Day. Because of the superb basketball team that P. H. S. had this year, we were able to sell a large number of the Princeton Tiger stickers. Another moneymaking program was the selling of cider and doughnuts after school, a traditional project of N. H. S. for several years. We wish to thank Miss Ashdown for the fine help which she has given us as sponsor of our group, and we hope the future members of the National Honor Society of P. H. S. help keep up the high standards of our school. The new members received this year were: seniors, Dick Hamilton, Dick Small, Bob Stewart, Hazel Conkling, Barbara Simon, Mary Morrison, Annette Eckdahl and Dorothy Chambers; juniors, Mary Ann Rockstad, Mary Huey, Janet Howe, and Joe Ruklick. The senior officers were: Stan Peterson, Gale Pearce, Andora Hedenschoug, and Frances Starr. First Row: Cialc Pearce. Frances Starr, Miss Ashdown. Andora Hedenschoug. Stanley Peterson.

The four previously installed members of the NHS, under the sponsorship of Miss Ashdown, planned and supervised the assigning of positions for the day. In the eyes of the students, it is a day looked forward to each year. The boys dress up in ties and suits, and the girls in their best dress. Under the guidance of the faculty and staff, the seniors conduct the classes, do the work of the cafeteria, janitors and office staff. The seniors sign up for the positions which they wish in order to help the NHS members. They report to school at 8:00 to receive last minute instructions, and then they open 'their'’ classrooms to begin the day. Probably the thing the seniors enjoy the most is taking the teachers’ places at the head of the lunch line and sitting at their table. For many seniors this day offered them a chance to see if they would like to enter the teaching field. For others it merely gave them a chance to sec the teachers’ point of view in school matters. It proved to many that a teacher’s job is not always as easy as it may seem. The boys that took the janitors’ jobs were really kept busy for the regular janitors had al- lowed the leaves to pile up on the school lawn so the student janitors could rake them up. Mr. Holt gave the acting principals a few of the details that go into the work of a principal in a high school like ours. This program has been carried on for several years and will continue if it runs as smoothly in the future as it has in the past. Page Sixty Outer Pictures—Clockwise from Top Left: Jean Gilmistcr.

I got right in the middle of the part where Caesar’s legions were being attacked, and I couldn’t figure out the rest of the para- graph.” 'I got stuck there too. Hope Miss Graham doesn’t call on me to recite today. It’d be just my luck!” The above is a conversation familiar to all of us who took Latin. It seemed that we sweated awfully long hours over those translations of Caesar’s Gallic Wars, but all in all it wasn't too bad. We always had a lot of fun in Latin Club, which made up for the tough translations. Our meetings were held every other Monday during class time. During our meetings we would have talks on Roman culture, identify pictures of Roman landmarks, and so forth. At our second meeting a play was put on by some of the mem- bers. It was cjuite interesting. We had a birthday party for Miss Graham October 27. Our other party was the Twelfth Night party held at the home of Dianne and Richard Coddington. We had a pot luck supper and afterwards played various games and watched television. The big event of the year for our Latin Club was the trip we took to Chicago with the art class to see the Natural History Museum and the Art Institute. We saw many objects which Romans had made and used, but the mummies seemed to be the most popular attraction. Page Sixtv-two LANGUAGE CLUB 'J 'HE I.ANGUAGE CLUB is a group for the students of French and Spanish. It is a non- compulsory organization for those who are par- ticularly interested in these two foreign countries. Our meetings were held bi-monthly, and al- though the majority of them were held in the dassroom, this fact did not tend to make them dull in the least. A few of our varied activities included a very realistic and exciting movie of the French Revolu- tion and a guided tour through a genuine” Mexi- can house constructed by the first and second year Spanish classes. From the Spanish side we all enjoyed learning the Mexican Hat Dance from records we purchased with dues which we col- lected each semester. To celebrate the Christmas holidays we planned to have a festive covered dish supper complete with pinata, procession of the pasada, and some French customs, but due to all the excitement around school at that time, we were forced to postpone it. Our year was climaxed by a picnic supper which was held at the City-County park on the last day of semester exams. Of course, it would not be right for one to finish without mentioning our ever-patient and congenial adviser, Miss Bean, who made all our good times possible.

She informs her two boon compan- ions, Lizzie (Sue Smith) and Aggie (Annette Eckdahl), that she is determined to get closer to nature, to lead the simpler life. Tish buys an old car, but not before Aggie has wired Tish's nephew, Charlie (Russ Douxsein), advising him to come and prevent his aunt from such foolish- ness. Charlie comes and falls in love with Ellen (Hazel Conkiing), who runs the hotel. Charita (Rita Vickrey) is Ellen's Mexican maid, and Callie (Nilah Espcl) is Ellen's girl friend. The battle is on when Tish drives through the glass window of Luther Hopkin s (Bob Middaugh's) store and refuses to pay the damages. Later the safe is looted by fakers, Denby (Don Faley) and Dorice (Robin Thompson). The sher- iff (Fred Boher) takes them to jail. Whether Tish is trying to help Aggie recover her lost teeth or striving to straighten the tangled romance of Bettina (Julie Wilson) and Wesley (Steve Skinner), she gets everybody into and out of more jams than you can shake a stick at.” Tish was a great success.

THE NICHT CE JANIJACy SIXTEENTH rJ,HE l;INE DIRECTION of Miss Metter and the wonderful cooperation of the entire junior class made the play, The Night of January Six- teenth, a big success. The play was a murder trial with a new twist. The jury was chosen from the audience. Karen Andre (Sharon Whitten) was on trial for the murder of Bjorn Faulkner. Her defense attorney is Stevens (Warren Creviston). Flint (Duane Luessenheide), the district attorney, is pleading for the state. Nancy Lee Faulkner (Sandra Shar- ick) , the widow, arrives on the scene with her father, John Graham Whitfield (Don Rick), and this displeases Karen. The female witnesses, Mrs. John Hutchins (Grace Tindle), Magda Svenson (Annette Norene), Jane Chandler (Mary' Huey), Roberta (Jo Anne Doyle), the secretaries (Karen Rockey and Margie Schroeder), and the prison matron (Carol Jeanne Smith), add character interest to the play. The other male characters are Judge Heath (Ted Molen), Dr. Kirkland (Neil Roscne), Homer Van Fleet (Dick Hay), Elmer Sweeney (Phil Kasbeer), Sigurd Jungijuist (Ivan Free- berg), Larry Regan (Carl Bledsoe), Bailiff (Den- nis Chase), Clerk (Ted Johnson), and the police- men (Gary Mulally and Mike Hussey). Each attorney pleaded carefully for his side of the case, and after the trial was over, the jury voted. The cast practiced two endings, the choice of the one to be used depending upon the jury's verdict. The play couldn't have gone on without the splendid work of the committees behind the scenes. The various chairmen of the committees were Jim Speer (stage), Connie Piper (props), Jane Finn (prompting), Sandra Sergeant (costumes and make-up), and Jack Hade (lights).

THESPIAN ' PHESPIANS is a dramatic organization estab- “ lished for the advancement of dramatic arts. There are two aims of the society: (1) to create a better standard of performance in all phases of dramatic arts, and (2) to create a more active in- terest in drama in the high schools. The society is essentially an honor” society because students may become members only after they have earned ten points for creditable work in dramatics. This year’s troop 1120 presented the comedy Hillbilly Wedding in a spring assembly, and it was a success. Miss Metter is sponsor of this club. This year Doreen Conant was elected presi- dent; Dick Small was vice president; Annette Eckdahl was secretary-treasurer; and Nilah Espel was program chairman. VJ HETHER BEHIND the scenes working on any one of several committees, or in the spotlight, the members of the Understudies were striving to become Thespians. In addition to pro- viding entertainment for the rest of the members, those acting in plays received points in proportion to the length of the play. Many students were interested in this club as you can see by the total number of students that entered. Last fall the club consisted of about thirty-five students who elected the following offi- cers: Jane Finn, president; Lucy Gapinski, vice president; and Jean Gilmister, secretary-treasurer. To prove that they had been working, the Understudies gave a one-act play to an essembly entitled Where’s that Report Card? All enjoyed it and hope they will continue to do such a splen- did job.

This year the group was affiliated with the National Hi-Y Fellowship and the Illinois Area Council of Y. M. C. A. The boys received their membership cards. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected: Jim Becker, president; Bob Gleason, vice president; Charles Brainard, secre- tary; Clint Byrd, treasurer; Dick Small, chaplain; and Warren Creviston, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Grace served as faculty adviser and supervisor of meet- ings. The group chose a committee which was called the activity committee, and Bob Gleason served as chairman of this committee. They scheduled all the different activities for the club. A few of the activities that the boys enjoyed were movies, swim- ming trips, and an intramural basketball league. After the league play was finished, a tournament was held, followed shortly by a game between an all-star team of the Hi-Y and the Varsity reserves. The purpose of this club is to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian char- acter. The platform of the organization is clean living, clean speech, clean athletics, and clean scholarship. The function of the club is to help boys achieve a more Christian way of living. At each meeting, before the business on hand was taken care of, a short devotion and discussion on Christian ideas and practices was held with all members given the chance to voice an opinion. The meetings were held on every Thursday dur- ing the activity period in the physics laboratory. Page Sixty-seven e. a First Row: Rosemary Swearingen Janet Dean, loan Kampf. Jane Finn.

The offices of president or vice president are two of the more coveted honors in our school. Each year the Lions Club and the Rotary Club send both girls to camp at Lake Geneva. The officers for the 1953-54 season were: President, Barbara Simon; Vice president, Marina Champlcy; Secretary, Mary Huey; Treasurer, Jane Finn; Point Chairmen, Sandra Sharick, Mary K. Wilkins. To begin our curriculum, Sandra Sharick, Mary Huey, and Jane Finn were sent as repre- sentatives from Princeton to the league workshop held at East Rockford High School. Here the girls learned many new tips on fund-raising projects, membership projects, and much on the new point system . Next on our calendar for the year were the decorating of the gym for the Homecoming Dance and the entire sponsorship of the 'Sweetheart Dance” held in February. Turning form Romance” to Rumpus,” there were those play days where the girls were rudely awakened bright and early to leave for one of the neighboring towns for a day's recreation. First of the play days was held at Walnut; it stands out most clearly, for remember it rained all day. Our spirits were not dampened” in the least, though. Ottawa was next, and since upperclassmen at- tended the first one, we decided to send only freshmen and sophomores. In the spring DePue sponsored a conference play-day which, too, was a success.

It is not easy to win a letter. In football and basketball you have to play in at least half of the games, and in track you have to get at least ten points during the season. You can also win a let- ter if any of the three teams wins the conference. The Varsity Club is one of the few organiza- tions in the school that do not have officers. This is true in the case of this club because its purpose is chiefly to recognize athletic achievement rather than to sponsor activities. ' THE NATIONAL ATHLETIC Scholarship Society is an organization which recognizes the athletic and scholastic ability of a boy in the tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grades. To qualify for membership in this organiza- tion, a boy must have earned a Varsity letter in any major or minor sport. His scholastic average must, for the three preceding semesters, be above or equal to the school's average. Although this organization is comparatively inactive, membership in the National Athletic Scholarship Society is a great honor for any stu- dent to achieve.

SOPHOMORE HI-TRI 'J'HE SOPHOMORE HI-TRI is an organization for all sophomore girls, and its purpose is striving to form better character. The officers elected for the year were: Presi- dent, Sandra Kowalski; Vice president, Nancy Kaufman; Secretary, Sharon Dobson; Monitor, Mariana Gleason; and Reporter, Nancy Sutcliffe. Throughout the year we saw some movies and enjoyed interesting debates and panel discussions. Mrs. O. V. Shaffer visited one of our meet- ings, and her talk on various vocations was very beneficial. Another activity of the year was a play en- titled Which Occupation is the Most Import- ant?” Many girls participated in the play, which was directed by Kay Conner. Everyone tried to do her part to better our organization, but we owe the most credit to our adviser. Miss Genevieve Ashdown. SENIOR HI-TRI pOR THE FIRST TIME in several years, the girls of the senior class elected to have a Hi- Tri Club. The girls voted for office were: Rita Vickrey, president; Julie Cassidy, vice president; Jean Wilson, secretary-treasurer; and Julie Wil- son, reporter. Miss Ashdown was the club adviser. The meetings were held once a month, and topics were assigned to the girls for discussion. At the end of the year they discussed plans for the senior prom and senior assembly. At the last meeting of Hi-Tri, Miss Graham gave a talk about a trip to Rome, which she took several years ago. The girls have enjoyed Senior Hi-Tri, and it is to be hoped that it will be continued.

However, we did hold a few meetings, in which good discussions were held. The following officers were elected at our first meeting: President, Pat Bohm; Vice presi- dent, Karen Rockey; secretary-treasurer, Janice Reynolds; recorder, Sharon Whitten. The most interesting topic for debate, and the topic most easily hashed over” by girls, was dat- ing. We made a very thorough discussion of the subject, covering everything from—well, let s not incriminate ourselves! We all are glad that the boys weren’t listening in, though! FRESHMAN HI-TRI H' -TRI IS A CLUB that strives to develop A character, friendship, pleasure, success, and courtesy. Some of the things we discuss arc: manners, getting along with other people, and school work. The officers were: President, Mary Brown;- Vice president, Sylvia Larson; secretary, Janet Monier; Chief monitor, Bette Cathcart. Miss Ashdown was our adviser, and she took part wholeheartedly in our discussions. We met once a month, usually on Thursday, in Room 202. Our symbol is a ladder and the top rung rep- resents success, with the others representing char- acter, friendship, pleasure, and courtesy. Page Scvcnty-onc I. H. A. lirsi Row: Rita Vickicy.

'JpHE FIRST MEETING of the Future Hoir.e- makers of America was held last September 16. The main purpose of that first meeting was to elect officers and club mothers for the year 1953- 1954. Officers elected were: Connie Piper, presi- dent; Carol Rheeling, vice president; Marilyn Crane, secretary; and Pat Yepsen, treasurer. Ad- ditional official positions were held by Pat Oloff- son, Sue Smith, Janice Brown, Carol French, Janet Kampf, Rita Vickrey, Joan Kampf, Elaine Nelson, and Donna Tinsley. Mrs. Larry Rosenquist and Mrs. Roger Piper, our chapter mothers, were very helpful to us in our projects throughout the year. Among the many activities sponsored by F. H. A., those that stand out as highlights were our two movies, our skating party, our formal initiations, our Christmas party at the Children's Home, and our annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. As has been our custom, we observed National F. H. A. Week, and many local merchants co- operated by allowing us to place displays in their windows. This year our F. H. A. chapter had the honor of being hostess to the schools in Section 11 for the Spring Rally. Clothing donated by members was sent to Greece as a part of the national F. H. A. project for promoting international good will. The officers and members of the club would not have had a successful year if it had not been for the help and guidance of our advisers, Miss Eula Kirkpatrick, Miss Frances Malsbury, and Mrs. Mary Jane Goble. Page Seventy-two i. r. a J-JERE ARE THE Future Farmers of America. It is an organization that reaches from the state of Washington to Puerto Rico, and from the state of Maine to Hawaii. This past year there have been several activities carried out by the F. F. A. First was the Officers Training Camp held Octo- ber 3-4 at Rock Island. Next came the trip to Kan- sas City where all the local officers attended the National Convention. They were accompanied by their adviser, Mr. Gossett, and enjoyed a very nice trip. The annual F. F. A. Banquet was held in March, and the F. F. A. Stag was held in the last part of May. Also, this year they had the trap shoot at the Princeton Gun Club grounds. The annual rifle shoot was held at the rifle range. As before, Mr. Gossett has taken the top three point winners to Minnesota for a fishing trip. During the first semester the Junior and Sen- ior Ag class was studying cash and future market. On Wednesday, December 9, Mr. Gossett took the class to Chicago to the Board of Trade Building to help understand the subject better. We took a train and the conductor saved a special car with a vistadomc that was enjoyed very much. Everyone speaks of the F. F. A. and its teacher as having a lot of money, which they do, but all this put together won’t compare with their com- petitor, Mr. Howard. For about two months this past year all the F. F. A. had a big laugh every morning at the Ford bus when it came rolling in with same flat tire on the inside dual. The officers of this organization are Melvin Carlson, president; Jerry Chclin, vice president; John Ackerman, secretary; Delmar Beams, treas- urer; John Larson, reporter; Norman Wessel, sentinel. The motto of all these F. F. A. boys is: Learning to Do; Doing to Learn; Earning to Live; Living to Serve. Fir Row: Terence Jacobs. Mr. Gossett. Delmar Beams. John Larson. John Ackerman.

PAUL GOBLE Pa«c Seventy-six VAC ITy FOOTBALL Let's Go, Pete FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1953 'J'HE 1953 FOOTBALL SEASON found Mr. Maechtle with five returning lettermen on the squad. After two weeks of hard practice, the Bengals were fighting mad for revenge against the Walnut Blue Raiders. Five plays after the kick-off, the Blue Raiders scored quickly, and it looked like a Walnut run- away. Walnut then kicked deep into Tiger terri- tory, where John Gleason tucked the pigskin under his arm and dashed all the way for a Tiger T. D. Flinn converted, making the score 7-7. Walnut scored in the opening minutes of the second quarter, and it looked as if the Tigers were kit- tens. But things changed as Gleason and Flinn scored, before the half ran out, to put the Tigers in front, 21-13. The second half opened with Flinn sprinting into the end zone. With effective defense, the Tigers held the Blue Raiders to a standstill, win- ning their opener, 30-13. The Tigers, with another week of practice, traveled to Polo. This was the second time the Tigers played Polo, for they were newcomers as of last year. The Tigers had beaten Polo last year and ruined their season of no other defeats. John Gleason scored the first T. D. with a 20-yard run. He again scored with only minutes remaining in the first period. The second quarter was not too exciting, but Polo scored its only T. D. of the night on a 50-yard jaunt. Bob Yepsen, at fullback, sprinted into the end zone with no one- near him, closing the half with Princeton out- scoring Polo, 21-6. In the second half, Louie F'linn made a 40- yard run around the left end, scoring again for the Tigers. The game from then on was played to a standstill, as the Tigers went on to win, 21-6, mak- ing it two straight wins. On October 6, Princeton traveled to Rochelle. The two teams were evenly matched in games, with two wins each, but Rochelle outweighed Princeton in the line. The Tigers were ready for the Hubs as the game got under way. Princeton had a few bad breaks in the first half, and the Hubs capitalized on all of them. A blocked punt set up the first Rochelle T. D. on the 30-yard line. The Tigers had a drive under way late in the first period, but a Hub player intercepted a pass on Princeton's 40-yard line and romped into the end zone for Rochelle's second score of the night. Princeton came striking back in the second quarter when John Gleason took a hand-off and dashed 61 yards for Princeton's only score of the night. In the second half, both teams battled to a standstill. After that game, the Tigers posted two wins and one loss. One of the best-remembered events of the game was Flinn's 70-yard punt, one of the longest recorded in this area. What's the cry? Beat Hall!

On October 9, the annual Hall-Princeton game began with the Tigers fight- ing mad and ready to tear the Devils apart. This was the Red Devils’ Homecoming game. Hall drew first blood with a quick T. D., adding their extra point. The Tigers gained control of the pig- skin but were forced to punt. Flinn punted deep into Hall territory. Hall, backed up against its own goal line, tried to punt out. But the punt was blocked by Princeton’s hard-rushing line, and Jim Becker grabbed the ball and went over from the six. The Devils came storming back and scored twice before the half ended. Halftime score was Hall 19, Princeton 7. After homecoming entertainment by the Hall band, the second half got underway. Early in the third period, the Tigers started a long drive with the backs going for 5 and 10 yards before a fum- ble cost them the ball. Hall was stopped and had to punt out of their territory again. Again the Tigers, with their short drives, finally scored be- fore the third period came to a close. In the fourth period the game was rough and furious with the Hall Red Devils scoring their final T. D. and making the final score Hall 33, Princeton 14. Princeton was trying to make it the second vic- tory over Hall in two years, but the Hall Red Devils just out-powered the Tigers. The Tigers faced the Rockets of Rock Falls and were gunning for their second conference game. The Rockets, many of us thought, were tc be push-overs; but this was proved to be a mis- take as the Rockets outplayed the Tigers the first half and led 7-6 in a very scrappy ball game.

The half came to an end as the Tigers finally started to play aggressive ball. The second half, the Tigers came roaring back with Louie Flinn scoring from the five-yard line through the center. The conversion attempt was good, and the Tigers led 13-7. The Rockets were grounded by the hard-charging line, and be- fore the third quarter closed, John Gleason had scored on a short jaunt. The fourth quarter began with the Rockets scoring their second T. D. Prince- ton's final touchdown was scored by Louie Flinn on a pass from Bouxsein, in the closing seconds. The conversion was good, and Princeton ended on the long end of a 26 to 13 score. Homecoming!!! Our annual Homecoming game was with the Geneseo Maple Leaves. Floats, banners, and a parade started the Homecoming- festivities. The Tigers were really up for this game, as well as the fans. Princeton first drew blood in the first quarter when Louie Flinn went around left end for a 10-yard drive. He kicked the conversion, and the Tigers led 7-0. Geneseo was stunned the first half and couldn't get rolling against the red- hot Tigers. Princeton scored again on a quarter- back sneak from the one-yard line. The half time ceremonies were started as the band, in their new uniforms, marched through a few difficult marches. Pete Anderson, who played a fine first half, crowned the Homecoming Queen, Doreen Conant. The teams came on the field, ready to start the second half. The Tigers kicked off to the Maples who, with a hard drive on three plays, scored before the Tigers could get rolling. The Tigers were outplayed in the third period as the Maples scored again. The score stood 14-13 in favor of the Tigers, but in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, the quarterback went back to pass but saw an opening and went all the way. They converted, and the game ended. The Tigers were just outplayed. We saw some of the boys after the game at the dance, but they weren't too happy as Geneseo ruined their Homecoming, 20-14. Friday night, October 30, the Tigers ran into a tough Mendota team. The Trojans had lost only one game, and the Tigers had lost three. They were out to stop Mendota's powerful single-wing and to stop them from capturing their fifth con- secutive conference title. The first half was pretty- hard-fought, but Princeton couldn't hit pay dirt and Mendota scored four times. The halftime score was Mendota 24, Princeton 0. The second half was a little different.

The Trojans came right back in the closing minutes of the third quarter on a short drive to make the score 30-6. The fourth quarter the Tigers came alive and, with fine block- ing from the line, went 60 yards. Bob Yepsen plunged over for a T. D. Mendota scored once more before the final gun sounded with the Tigers on the short end of a 37-12 score. On November 6 the Tigers played the Dixon Dukes. The first quarter was slow as both teams put up excellent defenses. However, the Dukes re- covered a Princeton fumble in the end zone for a T. D. Their extra point was blocked just as the first quarter ended. The Tigers bounced the sec- ond quarter with a 20-yard pass from Bouxsein to Flinn, good for a T. D. The score was tied 6-6 (Continued on page 83) Pane Eighty-two Pete Anderson spills Hall's Bill McAdams after a short gain. Warren Creviston is moving up to help. (Continued from page 82) as the extra point was blocked. The Dukes held and forced to punt deep from their own territory. The ball went out of bounds, and the Tigers took over at the 50-yard line. Gleason grabbed a pass from Bouxsein and ran the remaining distance without opposition. Princeton led at the half, 13-6. The Tigers came back the second half fight- ing mad. They had lost two in a row, and this one they wanted because it was the last home game of the season. John Gleason scored again from the 39-yard line for his second T. D. The Dukes scored only once more as the Tigers also scored in the final minutes of the fourth quarter when Louie Flinn lugged it over from the five. Bob Gleason set up the T. D. with a nice running pass from Bouxsein. Final score, Princeton 26, Dixon 13. Friday the 13. Yes, we were caught by this superstition. We traveled to the Boilermakers of Kewanee. The Tigers were trying to come out on top for the winning column. Kewanee had a 2-6 season record and had played tough compe- tition during their year and were ready to take it out on the Tigers. Ten seniors were playing their last game of high school ball. (Capt. Pete Anderson, Bob Gleason, John Gleason, Russ Bouxsein, Dick Small, Bob Yepsen, John Huey, Melvin Carlson, and Steve Skinner were the senior players.) The first half the Boilermakers outplayed, out- charged, outrushed, as the Tigers couldn't move. Kewanee scored twice in the first half. The Tigers finally caught hold in the second half, but it was too late to do any good. The Tigers held the Kewaneeans groundless as they scored in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter. John Gleason gathered the ball in at the 50-yard line and streaked down the sideline with- out a hand being laid on him. The Tigers were gunning for their second T. D. as the final gun ended the game, as well as the season, for the Tigers. The Tigers finished the season with four wins and five losses, but three of those losses could just as well have been wins. Mr. Maechtle used the majority of the squad, including the juniors who next year will have command, so here's hoping for the best of luck and a successful season for the 1954 Tigers.

'J’HE FRESH-SOPH football team, with the able coaching from Mr. Durham and Mr. Sheffer, ended with a record of four wins, three losses, and one tie. Their season opened against a strong Mar- quette team. The Kittens lost 26-6. The lone T. D. came when Richard Coddington picked up a fumble in the end zone. With a few changes in the line-up the Kittens blasted Amboy, 20-0, with fine running and block- ing throughout the entire game. On October 2 the Kittens played their first conference game against Rochelle. They pushed over two touchdowns the last half and held the Hubs to a single T. D. With every game the Kittens were improving. They invaded the Devils of Hall. Hall had a powerful line and fast backs, but the Kittens fought like Tigers, and when the final gun sounded, the score was tied 6-6. But the Kittens were on their way for a second T. D. The team traveled to Rock Falls the next w'eek. The teams were evenly matched, but the Kittens came out on top with a 13-6 win. This w’as their second win in conference play, and they were tied for first. October 23, the Kittens played their first home game. It was also Homecoming, and Mr. Durham and his squad were gunning for their third con- ference w'in. Yes, they really gunned and held Geneseo scoreless, as they tallied five times before the final gun. Final, 30-0. The next week the Kittens ran into trouble. They met a rough Mendota team. They battled all the w'ay but couldn’t conquer Mendota, as the latter w'on, 33-26. The Kittens traveled to Dixon for their last game. They lost to a powerful team, 33-21. The Kittens tied for second place in the conference. Mr. Maechtle has some good material ready for the 1954 and 1955 seasons as a result of the fresh- man-sophomore competition.

This was the cry of every- one as the Tigers progressed through the most successful basketball season ever recorded in P. H. S. history. The climax of this most suc- cessful season was being one of the Sweet Sixteen teams competing in the State Tournament at Champaign. To begin the story of this most successful sea- son, it is necessary to go back a few years—to when Mr. Sheffer was breaking in a green freshman team. As early as that time, when the Class of 1954 were freshmen, Mr. Sheffer began to point toward the State Tournament. And this year, the fruits of his efforts and of the faithful practice by members of the squad were magnificently realized. The season opened with St. Bede's Bruins. The Tigers lost a close game, 51-46. From this game on, the Tigers started their long string of successes. After rolling over such powerful teams as Marquette, DePue, Mendota, and East Moline, they entered the Marquette Tournament. Boasting an impressive seven-game winning streak, the favored Tigers won first place honors. The following week, during the Rock Falls game, center Red Boher sprained his ankle. Joe Ruklick took over Red's spot and showed the bench strength of the Tigers. The Tigers captured this game as well as the succeeding Henry, Am- boy, Dixon, Walnut, and Rochelle games, and ran their winning record to sixteen in succession. nPHE ANNUAL BIG POUR Tournament was another highlight of the season. After win- ning the Big Four last year, the Tigers were ready to capture it again. They breezed through this tournament with three more victories, running their winning streak to nineteen consecutive games —and a school record. After winning the Big Four, the Tigers trav- eled to Geneseo, where they eliminated the Maple Leafs from the running in North Central Confer- ence competition, and extended their record in con- ference play to five victories. Sterling and Hall, also conference members, were the next victims at the hands of the Fighting Tigers. The test for the Tigers, who at this point were being mentioned in A. P. polls, was in meeting the rugged Ottawa team. This was one of the best played games of the season, as the Tigers forged (Continued next page) Page Eighty-seven FINN SWANSON MOLEN KASBEER E E G I € N A L (Continued from page 87) ahead at the beginning of the game and, with little Sike Sharick's passing, downed the Pirates. This clinched the North Central Conference cham- pionship for the Tigers. The Tigers tasted defeat at the hands of Peoria Woodruff. This loss stopped the 24-game winning streak, but the Tigers fought all the way and found themselves short, nevertheless, by two points, 52-50. Another monkey wrech was thrown into the Tiger machinery on the night of the DeKalb game. Mr. Mumps took Stan Peterson into camp, and he had been averaging fifteen points a game. The Tigers lost their third for the season against DeKalb. Mr. Sheffer then started hard preparations for the Regional Tournament, which was held at Men- dota. The Tigers won their first two games, and on Friday night met St. Bede for the ticket tc LaSalle. The Tigers went all-out for the Bruins because the latter, ten years previously, had beaten the Tigers of those days out of first place honors. The Tigers won and carried home the Regional trophy. This win qualified Princeton to proceed to the Sectional Tournament at LaSalle. Pontiac tried to stop the Tiger machine, but accurate shooting moved the Tigers to the final berth. With Stan Peterson still on the sick list, the Tigers met Ottawa for the championship game. 1 he Tigers came through once again when Sike Sharick's passing opened up the game and led to a Tiger victory. Sweet Sixteen: This was the dream come true as Princeton played a fine Quincy team. Princeton led most of the game, but in late minutes Quincy made a roiling finish, and by only four points they downed the Tigers. This game will always be re- membered to the credit of this year's history-mak- ing Tigers. THE TIPOFF THAT STARTED THE SUCCESSFUL BASKETBALL SEASON OF '54 IECTICN4L!

Directed by the excellent coaching of Mr. Jesse Durham, the sophomore squad, lacking height, had to rely on determination. During the season they lost three games within the last ten seconds. These were the 53-55 loss to Marquette, 49-50 loss to Rock Falls, and, in the latter part of the season, a 53-55 loss to Peoria Woodruff. The sophomores, among their wins, beat Men- dota, DePue, Kewanee, Hall, Geneseo, and Rochelle, and ended up the season by beating DeKalb. The Kittens were led through the season by their 5 foot 8 inch sophomore guard and play- maker Bob Carlson. Also playing steady was their center Jerry Zurliene. Toward the end of the season, they lost a tough game to Ottawa. Coming from far behind, the Kittens outscored the Pirates in the last quarter, 19 to 6 points. In that game Bob Carlson played an outstanding game. In their last con- ference game and last game of the season, the Kittens played DeKalb at DeKalb. Playing in- spired ball for their last game, they overpowered DeKalb and won the game, 54-42. The Kittens ended up the season with six wins and three losses in the North Central Conference for a third-place tie. During their conference play this year, they beat such teams as Mendota, Dixon, Rochelle, Geneseo, Hall, and DeKalb. This year the manager for the Kittens was Don Mecum.

D.'vid Larson, and Merle Marine rjPHE FRESHMAN CAGERS, guided by Mr. Goble, boasted a squad of ninteen players which broke even in the winning column, winning six of twelve games. The Freshmen opened their season with a tough St. Bede team, but the future Tigers scratched their way to a 40-34 win. Their next game, the Freshmen traveled to Kewanee and rolled over the Boilermakers, 64-45, as Mr. Goble had a chance to use the bench. Geneseo visited Princeton the next week but went home with de- feat from the Freshman cagers. Fine rebounding and hard playing were the deciding factors of the ball game. The Freshmen, posting a record of three wins, swept past their fourth victory over a weak Dixon team and won by a wide margin, 51-28. Hall was the next victim of the Freshman team, 44-37. To this point Mr. Goble's cagers performed very suc- cessfully, but a crushing blow fell upon them. Jim Reed, the center, was sidelined with a heart ailment. From this time on, the team fought hard but missed the assistance of Jim. They lost their best two games to LaSalle and Kewanee. Getting revenge in their next game, the Fresh- men downed Hail, 52-54. LaSalle played a return game and once again defeated the Freshmen, 51-33. The season, coming to a close, found St. Bede and LaSalle playing the cagers again, and the Freshmen lost to both of them. Both were ex- citing games, but the most exciting game was the sudden-death game which found the Freshmen losing a heartbreaker on a short end of a 52-54 count.

Page Ninety-two PETE IS READY UP AND OVER, FRED 195J-54 TCACI SEASCNS 'I 'HE ‘54 TRACK SEASON opened with great promise, especially since a large number of the boys who participated in the remarkable '53 season were back for this year. Glancing back through the ‘53 season, we find that the Thinclads opened their season at Oak Park. They garnered a few points there, but of course hadn't had time to get into top condition for that event. They won their next two dual meets and finished third in the Ottawa Relays. The '53 Thinclads really opened up at the Daven- port and Geneseo relays, as they marched off with top honors in both. They went on to capture the Normal, Prince- ton, Indiana, Gateway Classic, and Big Four meets. The District meet was held at Ottawa, where Princeton finished second, only nine points out of first. The '53 Thinclads really proved themselves when they sent two fast-breaking relay teams to compete at Champaign. The 880 relay team, com- posed of Don Faley, Byron Marks, Ted Mercer, and John Gleason, set a new district record, run- ning the halfmile course in 1:32.8. The mile relay team also captured top honors in smashing the old record in their event by three seconds. The mile relay team was composed of Don Faley, Byron Marks, Ted Mercer, and Forrest Finn. Altogether, Princeton sent nine men to the state meet last year. Besides those already named, there were: Lewis Flinn in pole vault, Don Faley in broad jump, Fred Boher in high jump, John Gleason in the 220 yard dash, and Clint Byrd in the half mile run. The 1953 season closed with the Conference Meet at Sterling. Ottawa nosed out Princeton by four points at this meet, but the Princeton Thin- clads were all-out to win. As this is written, prospects for the '54 team (Continued next page) Pukc Ninety-three (Continued from page 93) are that it will be just as good as the '53 team. Indeed, the first trophy of this season has already been won. After going to Oak Park for a number of years, Mr. Ott's boys this year brought back a trophy for the Class B championship. The medley relay team, composed of Forrest Finn, Don Faley, Byron Marks, and Clint Byrd, captured first place honors in a field of twenty schools. Each member was presented with an individual trophy. Lewis Flinn also showed promising possibilities in ty- ing for second with a vault of twelve feet, his best effort so far in his career. Our distance men this year include Clint Byrd, Norman Wessel, Tommy Robbins, and Gary Mulally. The dash men are Byron Marks, Don Faley, John Zurliene, and Darrel Eckberg. The field men are Boher, Flinn, Faley, Anderson, Becker, and Darrel Eckberg. Hurdlers are Gary Christiansen and Lewis Flinn. Other members of the squad are expected to develop as the season progresses. As this is written, the season seems likely to be second to none of the previous years' seasons.

Yes, it was the Cross Country team. This is a sport to which considerable atten- tion was given this year. Our new coach, Mr. Goble, really worked hard getting his boys in shape. The Varsity team was composed of Clint Byrd, Norman Wessel, Tommy Robbins, Darrell Eckberg, and Don Faley. Bob Espel, David Swartzendruber, Walter Hopkins, Jim Reed, and Dennis Duffield were the Fresh-Soph team. Princeton opened its season with Sheffield. Clint Byrd passed the field and won easily. Next the Tigers met Dixon and lost. Byrd won first in the meets at DeKalb and Rock Falls, with Norman Wessel and Tommy Robbins furnishing good sup- port. On Saturday, October 9, Princeton entered the Ottawa Invitational. It was a good course, and Princeton placed third in the meet, as Byrd and Wessel finished one and two, respectively. Jin- Reed finished first in the Fresh-Soph division. On October 13 Princeton went to Sterling for a meet and also to get used to the course which they would run in the Sterling Invitational. Prince- ton finished second in this triangle meet on the thirteenth, as Byrd for the sixth time crossed the finish line first. The Invitational at Sterling on the seventeenth was a highly competitive meet as more than fourteen schools sent eighty-seven run- ners into action. Byrd ran the mile-and-nine- tenths in 9:59, but this wasn't fast enough, for a boy from West Rockford beat him; but it was a beautiful race to the finish line. On Saturday, October 24, the Conference Meet was held at Dixon. The Tigers finished fourth as a team, as Byrd once again led the field individually. On Tuesday, October 27, in rain and dust, the Tigers ran their best against Mendota. Byrd, Wes- sel, and Robbins finished one, two, and three. They took the meet with points to spare. This meet was a warm-up for the District Meet, which was held the follow ing Saturday at Sheffield. This Sheffield meet also qualified runners for the state meet. Byrd broke the district record, but the team finished third, a few points out of second. The following Saturday Clint Byrd competed in the State finals at Champaign.

S. had quite a few different managers. Jack Hade was probably the head of them because he was the only manager of all three sports. Bob Hudson was manager for basketball and track, Jim Becker for basketball, John Glea- son for track, and Dick Hamilton and Wayne Nickel Is for football. The managers had just about as tough a job as any athlete because they would stay nights after practice, and after everyone else had left, to clean up the locker room. They also had to listen to everyone griping about aches and pains. We would like to say thank you to a wonderful bunch of managers. Barbara Simon, Alice Landrus, Connie Hud- son, Carol Rhceling, Pat Bohm, and Sharon Whit- ten were our very capable cheerleaders this year. They worked up plenty of pep and enthusiasm for big games and tournaments. Their timing and co- ordination were improved by weekly practices. The girls worked hard, and Miss Wright, their adviser, deserves credit for the training and guid- ance she gave them. They received a number of flattering compliments while cheering at the state tournament. Their uniforms were different and looked sharp on the basketball floor. Barb and Alice are seniors and therefore won't be with us next year. AND ME GIVE TEEM TEE YELLS III IIIADEH$ BARBARA SIMON ALICE LANDRUS CONNIE HUDSON CAROL RHEEL1NG PAT BOHM SHARON WHITTEN sS 4 ?
