To tell the truth, we really don't know, but he seems to be a small gremlin or elf that persuades you to let your homework go until tomor- row or sits on the basketball hoop and pushes the ball away at that crucial moment. Or perhaps he's the spirit of East-a spirit of competition, co-opera- He's part of the routine called classes from the 8:15 stupor, and 11:30 star- vation, to the 3:50 rush. He's behind the footlights during a play, up in the balcony applauding loudly, and down in the orchestra playing a squeaky violin. 4 o P F . l 1 tion, and ambition. i ?' , 1 J :ff 5 , T if l i l 1 1 1 l XX At East there is a place for all whether he be white, black, or red, whether he uses prir1ter's ink, music, or a palette and brush. Extracurricular activities offer fun and relaxation, and a chance to further your ambition. There are formal dances that leave you tired, but happy, there are jean-clad clean-up committees the next morning. All are in the scrapbook of happy memories in life at East. Our Rab is a part of that. The athletes at East, whether they are a part of intramural meet or varsity meet, will never lack enthusiasm. The crowd loves pep rallies, exciting cheers, and shouts its loudest in that burst of mad riot for a homerun or a winning basket. Friends are a part of all this too. You'll never forget who helped you pass the last English test or shared your joys or sorrows, or helped you cheer yourselves hoarse. All these memories add to your scrapbook of activities here at East while the spirit lives on in present and future generations. The Rab you knew goes on doing his work whether it be to help win a game or lose your lecture notes just before history class. You're part of it, the spirit of East, the happy-go-lucky freedom of teen-agers all over the country. x Uwbij fi X Cv , N 1 pix f if x Z . lxx N , 1 Q . x, ,X Q ,,,.---4 ff i Volume X East Senior High School Rockford, Illinois .xg 'R 11.

A dviser :W I ag I . ww, C School started this fall with a swirl of activities for sophomore, junior, and senior Rabs alike. New faces, new classes, and new teachers greeted everybody on the first day. During the early weeks each sophomore experienced a lost feeling while walking down the huge halls. However, it wasn't long before all this was over, and the sophomores felt that they were a part of East High. They began their activities by electing class officers. Posters and banners were made for the candidates and placed on the walls of study hall 201 by members of the class. Among these were Hazel Burch, Shirley Allen, Pat Adams, Pat Hills, and Kent johnson. Clj One day in October everybody's hair was especially neat. Many of the Rabs could be caught in front of a mirror practicing a smile. Yep-it was picture day for the Argus. Here Margie Hubbell and janet Hammerstrand are writing receipts for Lillian Carlson, Gladys Felden and Ed Brockmeier while Mar- lene Bergsten takes a last look at her hair. C29 At the beginning of each semester, class advisers were kept busy changing schedules. Almost every Rab has had a double schedule marked and changed with red ink. Miss Catherine Needham, sophomore class adviser, is shown helping Tom Wailker arrange his classes while Art Olsen, Morris William- son, and Pat Loy wait their turn. C59 C!QLAa5?a, After the senior class oflicers were elected, they began planning activities for the class. A job which the class of '50 officers also had to do was find a way of raising money for the class treasury. Ken Carson Cleftl and George Bennett Crightj, two homeroom presidents, discuss the problem with Denny johnson, vice-president, Roger Beckett, president, Donna Olsen, secre- tary, and Karen Ericson Cseatedb treasurer. C43 Plans were made by the classes for parents' night when our folks visited East high and talked with our teachers. Besides information about us, they also got plenty of food. C55 Speak- ing of food, it took lots of it to keep the E-Rabs happy. How- ever, the cafeteria was not only a good place to eat but also a good place to finish that paper for English or that math problem. C65 Publications staff proved their dramatic C ?J ability in the pub- lications assembly. Hopalong Hamlet and other Shakespearean characters were portrayed by staff members. Here Caesar CVal Krukonisj is being shot by a Roman senator CEarl jonesj as other senators CLewis Albee, jack Beckstrom, Dick Ahlgren and Rog Beckettb watch. C75 The reason for his death? He wouldnt buy an Argus! Of course, fall wouldnt be complete without the football games at the stadium. Neither cold, rain, nor even snow kept the fans away from the games. These gloomy faces can mean only one thing--the Rabs are losing. C89 cmog ,jQey0 may in flee Of course, school wouldnt be complete without the plays which are given each year. This year the junior class presented Tish,l' which was a three-act comedy. lt was the story of the adventures of Tish, an old maid, and her two companions, Aggie and Liz, while they were vacationing. Although the players appeared confident on the stage, most of them had but- teflies in their stomachs those few minutes while waiting for the curtain to go up. Listening for their cues are John Hof, the sheriff, Joanne Swenson, Tishg Gwen johnson, Aggie, Mary laria, the maid, and Helen Stevens, Liz. C63 Thanks to Tish, the bandit in the play was caught. C75 lt wasn't long before fall was over and winter was on its way. New friends were no longer new, but instead they were old pals. No more cottons were seen in the halls, as all the Rabs were wearing winter clothes. lt was hard to believe that two months of the school year were already gone. The vows made to do every speck of home work and to get book reports in on time had been broken several times. Yes, the school year was well under way before anyone realized it. The annual pep rally, held the night before the East-West football game, left everyone in a jovial mood after its dramatic burial service for the Wrrrriors. QU Black and red pompoms EU! A if and streamers were sold by GAA members. The feminine touch was added by E-Rabs jim Nelson, Ronald Stiffler, Angie Lazzarini, Jerry Hollingsworth, and Pat Shanahan who por- trayed the Warrior Cheerleaders giving out with a We're from West High and no one can be prouder-.U C29 After the pep rally, the gym was cleared and everyone danced. Every once in a while a strange face appeared in the halls. lt wasnt the face of a teacher nor was it the face of a student. lt seemed to have a few of the characteristics of each. Yep- the person was none other than a student teacher from one of the nearby colleges, taking over a class at East High. Here john Chapman and Donald Kaminski from DeKalb State Teachers' College are explaining some Earth Science material to Mr. Emery Fritsch's class. Q53 Rec parties and after-game parties held in the gym and cafe- teria became a good place for meeting new friends and getting better acquainted with them. The swimming pool and the girls' gym were open to the athletic minded, while dancing and playing ping-pong were the activities in the cafeteria. The boys' gym was also used for dancing. C45 Something new at East High this year was the hfteen cent cheese special in the cafeteria. The lunch lines always were a little longer on k'Cheese Day. C55 Q 1 Although the coldness of winter came early, no one really felt that it was winter until after the first snow storm. The school looked different with the unfamiliar blanket of snow around it. As soon as the 3:30 bell rang, everyone was eager to get out in the snow. There were many battles such as this one between Bill Moreland, Dick Nordlof, and David Carlson. Clj The main activity of winter was basketball. The whole school had a part in the games. The band played, the ROTC marched, the teachers punched tickets, and students and parents alike cheered the teams. The cheerleaders, Connie Kaltenbach, Doris Calacurcio, Gene Schlupp, Mary Di Tullio, captain, and Pat Paluzzi CZD did a fine job of leading the fans in the familiar cheers. Although the gym was packed, it seemed as if there was always room for one more. As the Christmas season neared, many E-Rabs took part in the Swedish celebration of Lucia Night, December l4. According to custom, groups of students went Christmas caroling during the night. Here the Swedish Club members are being admitted into a home for a treat. C55 The next morning everyone was a little drowsy, and the nurse had many visitors. Signs of the Christmas season could be found almost anywhere about school. Almost every homeroom had a Christmas tree and a party the day before Christmas vacation. According to tradition, the senior class bought the tree for the entrance hall and decorated it. Each study hall had a tree such as this one in sophomore study hall, which everyone helped to deco- rate. C43 However, the solemnness of Christmas was not lost in all the festivities. The choral department and the orchestra presented the Christmas assembly which left everyone a little awed. The more familiar carols were sung by the audience while the various choral groups sang others. OD After Christmas vacation most of the E-Rabs were glad to be back in school again. Publications began plans for the talent show, River Boat Rhythmsfi Tryouts were held, and much hid- den talent was discovered around school. As the theme called for the stage to be transformed into a boat, the props commit- tee had quite a job. Here Dick Malmgren, Mary L. Peterson, Roger Beckett, Grace Nappi, Roberta Farrow, and Pat Lund- vahl start working on the setting while Dorothy Liebling prac- tices her song. Working on her part of a piano duet is Polly Peterson. Marilyn johnson, the other member of the duet, is watching her. Q65 John Hof, master of ceremonies, sits on the deck of the Cotton Blossom as Warren Cuplin and Bill Blough present their act to the audience. UD af wifi' james ana! .Qmjoromyofu ?ALC6tf1:0lfL5 Many dances were held throughout the year by various clubs such as ROTC, R Club, and ABL. Here Mary Schwartz, Ed Brockmeier, Eileen Paulson, Earl jones, Grace Nappi, Frank Militello, Annabelle La Rose, and William Rudelius lead the grand march for the ABL dance, Sweethearts Swirl. C15 Something entirely new at East High this year was the addition of a sophomore cheerleading squad. Leading the fans in Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight, are Diane Hlavka, Lucille Pottinger, Marigene Bullard, and Irene Miner, captain. C25 Although things usually looked bright and most Rabs smiled, there were moments when a smile seemed an impossible feat. One of these moments was during tryouts for the plays and the operetta. Here Nancy Kindstrom, Gwen johnson, Margie Baucom, and Marilyn Saaf wait their turn to try out for a part in the operetta. C35 The junior and senior class mixers were the most informal affairs at school this year. Everyone came attired in blue jeans and shirts, ready for square dancing. There were also ping- pong and movies. A short skit was presented at each mixer with the class sitting informally on the floor. Here Lillian Nielsen and members of the junior class are trying to get Mr. Walter Boguski to sing. C45 Even though winter brought many activities, it also had its drawbacks. Slippery streets, deep snow, and slush were among some of these. One of the big hindrances at school was the ix -. -. gg N W .121 gt ' . as .A1 2 1 P aaik.. . number of things which had to be kept in the locker. The size of the locker and the number of things to go into it just didn't seem to equal each other. Most Rabs had the same trouble as Joyce Ecker and Adele Lund who had to pack books, boots, and coats together. C 55 The sophomore class officers, Pat Lahre, vice-president, Shirley Kelley, secretaryg jack Holmbeck, presidentg and Sandra Moore, treasurer, began plans early for their party, Sophomore Sere- nade. C65 The affair, which was held in the cafeteria, was the first class party that the sophomores had at East High. The Rabs paid little attention to the coal strike which started early in the winter. However, in February there were rumors that school might have to close for a few days due to the lack of coal in Rockford. Finally it was officially announced and there was a three-day vacation. It was a little chilly, but no one seemed to mind this. During the shortage the school board decided to put oil burners in the high schools and installation began at East High immediately. C75 As the snow began to thaw, the Rabs turned their thoughts to spring. For the seniors it meant only a few more months at East High. The year was passing quickly, maybe too fast for SOITIC. .. .3 W , , ivy. - ' sk Q' R+, 'in Buds began appearing on the trees and bushes. The grass was coming up and the no trespassing signs were put up on the grounds around the school. Yes, at last spring had come. After many weeks of practice, it was time for the cast of the operetta to present Norwegian Nights, the story of the life and music of Edvard Grieg. When the operetta was presented, the audience was impressed by the staging and lighting of the second act. Although this scene was serious, there were many humorous moments due to the antics of Douglas Farr, Leonard Johnson, Kent Johnson, and Ralph Stang. C15 Pussy Johnson, Corliss Cross, Pat Shanahan, and Loren Lund had the leading parts. C25 Spring fever was a hard thing to overcome but most of the sophomores and juniors found it necessary so that they could begin studying for finals. Here's Justine Johnson, Karin Hed- lin, Nancy Goodin, and Jerry Patterson, who are spending a few minutes reviewing. C55 The day of days-graduation. At last it had come. C45 Picture courtesy of McCanna Photograph Co. School days were over at East High for the senior class. No more classes, proms, or parties as a student of Eastft The last three years had cer- tainly gone fast. There were so many things to do and not enough time to do half of them. After the summer months, the sophomores and juniors will be back with a new class to begin the activities of 1950-1951. mf? ring .fgcfiuilfiea The cast for the senior class, I Remember Mamma, began learning their lines early in spring. Rehearsals such as this one with Nancy Johnson, Lewis Allbee, Jeanne Stang, Clar- ence Freburg, Shirley Smith, Arlene Young, and Katy Johnson, were held during and after school. C55 Spring wouldn't be complete without the junior and senior proms. The planning and decorating for them was half the fun. Shown here are Bill Spickerman, Jean Peterson, Russ Erickson, and Carolyn Anderson at the senior prom for the class of 1949. C65 The last chance for improvements in the senior play was during dress rehearsal. Arlene Young, Katy Johnson, and Lewis All- bee, seated, and Gladys Feldeen, and Clarence Freeburg, stand- ing, took time out to pose for this picture. C75 Also taking time out for a picture are Shirley Smith, Nancy Johnson, Dick Loy, and Jeanne Stang. C85 Once again Baccalaureate and graduation were over. School closed for the summer months. Although many things will be forgotten, there will be times when certain moments at school will be recalled-acceptance into the National Honor Society, a bid to the prom, a part in the class play. Each Rab will remember his own special moments of life at East High School. The year went fast as they all seem to do. Now the class mem- bers will each spend the summer doing something different. X nhl' . V. ' Nasmasf W, 'F391 ne'-4'-Lt: .c A-v J... ' A-.Y U, ow re e effing Perhaps this was the most asked question during the year. Getting to and from school and all its activities often caused a serious problem, especially during the winter with its ice and snow. Sometimes the hot rod solved this problem of trans- portation. Many boys owned their own cars, such as Clarence Freburg who is giving Dyvone Guler and Pat Schellschmidt a ride home after GAA. Q19 However, getting a ride home wasn't always as simple as this. Often it meant a dash down the hall at the sound of the 3:30 bell, wraps half on, and a wait in line to get a seat on the bus. 42 and 69 Anyone who missed the country bus had a long walk to look forward to. When the weather wasn't too bad, many boys rode to and from school on a motor scooter, motor bike, or bicycle. C35 On rainy and snowy days almost anybody's car became a 3:30 special for his friends. The make or year of the car didn't make a bit of difference, just so it was a ride home. C45 Of course, there was always one dependable way of getting to school, and that was walking. Saddle shoes or loafers proved to be about the most appropriate footwear for this. In the fall when it was colorful and in the spring when everything was just turning green, this walk was very enjoyable. How- SCHU L BU IFN AQP8 . ever, on some of those cold Monday mornings in the winter there seemed little enjoyment in walking to school. The time spent on the school buses was used for many pur- poses. Some finished home work which hadn't been done the night beforeg some caught up on the latest gossip, some even read comic books. Thus, riding the bus wasn't too bad if there were plenty of seats. Often, however, there was hardly enough room for those who had to stand. Books, lunches, and musical instruments added to the discomfort of those standing and sitting alike. Often the way of going to and from some activity turned out to be half the fun. Chartered buses to the out-of-town foot- ball and basketball games with their singing and eating were almost more fun than the games. Trips and hikes planned by clubs and classes always proved to be full of fun while coming and going in a car or bus. All types of transportation were used by the E-Rabs during the year. Some times Pops car could be borrowed for extra spe- cial occasions. Many times the way of getting there depended upon the weather. However, if it was in rain, shine, or snow we got to school and its activities either by walking or riding in any one of the modern modes of transportation, l 10 -X .x 7' X.m+54 wwf? x , X fy Hx,-f:mf , 1XXlllX!f1fX KX 7 QW X J V. .4 Jdcfminid frafion The chief executive of the Rockford school system is the Superintendent of Schools Parmer L. Ewing. He works with the Board of Education in planning the education program. Mr. Ewing must see that the schools are in good condition and are being properly operated. He checks to see if the departments and ofhces of all the schools are working efficiently. Mr. Harry C. Muth's familiar assembly dismissed is only one of his manifold duties as principal of East High School. lt is his job to help students get the most out of their high school days. He has charge of faculty meetings and advises members in the new methods of education. His friendly and cooperative spirit keeps East in smooth working order. The Rockford Board of Education, led by the city superintendent of schools, has as its largest and most important duty the provision of a good education for every boy and girl. The Board consists of people appointed by the Mayor, who give both their time and energy to better the cityls educational program. Members belong to various committees each of which have a special duty. The Building and Grounds Committee is responsible for the repair and upkeep of all the school yards and buildings. Hiring capa- ble teachers, office help, custodians and other employees is the duty of the Edu- cational Committee. The third and last group, the Purchasing Committee, ap- proves purchases of supplies, keeps finan- cial records, and plans the yearly budget. Thus, furnishing Rockford school children with modern equipment and adequate instructors, the Board of Education gives each pupil a good chance for success in HARRY C MUTH school. prmclpal S'!rmdi1zg.'

Arranging majors and minors for three years of high school in the proper fields for each individual student is one of the most important duties of Miss Catherine Needham, sophomore class adviser. A helpful aid to making out programs and choosing a vocation are the Kuder Preference Tests given to underclassmen each spring. The sophomores learn the value of participation in extra-curricular activ- ities from serving on various class committees. Planning the junior Prom, play, informal mixer and parents' night is the job of Miss Ruth White, junior class adviser and English teacher. For these events the class picks committees. The juniors are also responsible for making arrangements for baccalaureate and commence- ment. Miss White checks the credits and majors and minors of each junior. In addition to these duties, she is adviser of the National Honor Society. The senior class adviser, Miss Hazel Koch, checks all graduation requirements. She supervises commencement activities and the meas- uring of all seniors for caps and gowns. Meetings between various college representatives and seniors who are interested in those schools are arranged by Miss Koch. An effort is made to include all seniors .

She checks attend- ance records and iregular lists and issues admits each day. Supervision of the ROTC sponsors and just giving advice to all girls are some of her other tasks. Scheduling school activities takes much of her time. One of her more humorous jobs is approving club initiations. Assistant principal and Dean of Boys, Mr. Harry W. Kroll, is always busy. He arranges for all of East High's competitive sports and contests and is adviser of the Student Council. He checks the boys' irregular lists and attendance records and also gives absence and late admits. Adjusting the size of classes and assigning lockers to all students are more of his duties. 15 5 26.4, George Berg, B.E. Ola Bogen, M.A. f f Industrial Spanish and Latin i ' so li' Vbeylv as B M .

First of all, they found themselves the crowning glory of the school, a class for all to look up to. The whirlpool took its first turn when they found themselves in the midst of junior-Senior Parents' night on November 8. On this eve- ning the parents of the juniors and seniors came to visit the teachers to see how dear Johnny or dear Mary were doing in their studies. Next the whirlpool took a more enjoyable turn, for the seniors pre- sented their annual Senior Mixer, which consisted of a night of square dancing, ping pong, and refreshments. At this event they sponsored a drive for used clothes to send to the children in the needy countries of Europe. Chosen to be chairmen of committees for the mixer given this year on December 9 were Mary Schwartz, Earl Jones, Roberta Farrow, Ralph Wahlberg, Jeanette Habecker and Ted Miller. After the entire senior class had voted, Imogene Lindberg was chosen to receive the annual DAR Good Citizenship award. The organ- ization presents this citation to an outstanding senior girl each year. Soon the seniors tried out for the senior play. A Norwegian play, I Remember Mama, was presented on May 12 and 13. Arlene Young, Clarence Freburg, Kathleen Johnson, Gladys Feldeen, Carolyn Wallin, Lewis Allbee, Dick Loy, Jeanne Stang, Nancy johnson, Shirley Smith, Roger Harmon, Wayne johnson, Imogene Lindberg, Elaine Garman, Virginia Anderson, Roger Carlson, Lois Doxey, Grace Nappi, Mahlon Burbank, and Charles Carter had roles in the play. As the end of first semester approached, some students were still in the dark about their next semester subjects. For advice they turned to their friendly, helpful senior adviser, Miss Hazel Koch who willingly offered suggestions. After the first semester grades were all averaged, the top ten boys and girls were announced. The ten boys were Wziyne C. Lenz, James Benson, Edward Brockmeier, Lee G. Johnson, Roger Harmon, Mahlon Burbank, Richard Ahlgren, Russell johnson, Harvey Zeidenstein, and Roger Beckett. The girls who received high scholastic honors were joan W. Herrstrum, Grace A. Nappi, Mary M. Schwartz, Patricia Lundvall, Lillian Carlson, Francis Ralston, Nancy Ann johnson, Blenda Peterson, Luella joy Haegg, and Jean Kjellstrom. Now why was it that senior themes and spring fever popped up at the same time? The malady caused the seniors to put off theme writing to the last minute, when they reluctantly settled down to it. A short while after this the themes were handed in and everyone started looking forward to the next pleasant curve in the whirlpool, the senior prom. All the lucky girls who had dates rushed around trying to find the prettiest for- mal of them all, while the fellows only wondered about the prospects of wearing summer tuxes. At the dance, however, all troubles were ironed out, and everything seemed perfect. One of the last events of the year was the senior tea, which took its turn in the seniors' whirlpool on May 24 and 25. The seniors came to school displaying their Sunday best, fully prepared to act as hosts or hostesses to their parents. A-mf A 1 x 5 if W, r 4 , Q MH 5 Wi-uf 'ii K I-Q Q y my - he g ,Lim ,Q V1.6 stiff Then as the whirlpool reached its epitome, there was baccalaureate and graduation . . . no one will ever for- get it. Then, they found themselves a class confronted with many mixed emotions. The seniors, proudly, but sadly, put on their caps and gowns and went from the doorway of high school, never to forget their wonderful, carefree, high school days. L, ,Z Right Abtwe: Mahlon Burbank was chosen to enter the honor- ary journalistic Quill and Scroll Society in his junior year. Right Below: By vote of their senior class, Roger Harmon and Grace Nappi were elected Commencement speakers. Lower Right: A preview of graduation and the life ahead goes through the minds of Ronnie Anderson and Joyce Strand.

These girls had maintained an A or B average to become members first semester. Being dusted with flour and crawling up and down stairs was worth it, because later the initiates were given a delicious pot-luck supper. CThey had to eat it with their fingers though.j One of the most anticipated dances of the year is the traditional ABL semi-formal which was February 17. The Sweethearts Swirl carried out a Valentine theme, decorations were red and white with hearts and cupid silhouettes on the walls of the gym. The large lace-trimmed heart and the suspended, papier-mache tradi- tional cupid above it completed the decorations as the center piece. Lillian and Loretta Carlson set up their photographic equipment in one corner and took pictures of the couples. Miss Adele johnson is the club's faculty adviser and the second se- mester officers were Annabelle La- Rose, president, Eileen Paulson, vice-president, Janet Palmquist, sec- retary, Imogene Lindberg, treasurerg . W Janet Ahle and Pat Rutz, social chairman. Upper lefl: Dancing couples sway to Tiny Menzie's music under the watchful eye of ol' Dan Cupid and his hearts at ABL's annual ball, Sweethearts Swirl.

They always leave the room singing and smiling. Maybe it's the good-nature of Mr. Linden Lundstrom, their director Cmore commonly called Lindyb, the beautiful harmonies, the bounce of some of their selections, or that soprano who was out of tune. lt could even be the squeak of a misused pitchpipe, but one is inclined to believe that every one of them who claims member- ship in the choir enjoys the satisfac- tion of his hard work. The A Cappella Choir, eligibility for which depends upon the stu- dent's ability to sight read, his tone quality, and general musical ear and knowledge, made many public ap- pearances during the year. Besides serving the school at the Christmas assembly, Junior-Senior Parents' Night, National Honor Society as- sembly, and Baccalaureate, they also sang at various churches through- out the year, entertained the Lions club, joined with West high in a Christmas program, and presented their own concert in the spring. These vocally talented students who wear wine-colored robes this year elected as their oflicers, Walt Far- ley, president, Loren Lund, vice- president, Annabelle LaRose, sec- retary, and Millie Larson, treasurer.

Eastites have wanted a Rab for a long time, but have been unsuccessful in their efforts to find one. Rah stands for red and black, our school colors. We have tried here to be impartial to any one sport or other school activity. We have tried to present a Rah as a small gremlin or elf who affects the ways of life here at East. The ARGUS staff begins to work early in the summer and continues until the beginning of April. Late in the summer the staff travels to Chicago where they pick the cover for the year's ARGUS. With their own design in their pockets, all they must do is select the colors to be used, grain of the cover, and type of print. When they return to school in the fall, their work really begins.

Taking pictures is another exhilarating ordeal. Thereis the struggle to get photographers and subjects there on time, set the picture up, and still arrive in class. Gradually the dummy is sent to the illustrator and finally you are able to breathe a sigh of relief, and the suspense begins. Then there's only the short time to wait until it is distributed in the spring. Upper left: The untiring efforts of these ad solicitors made this annual possible.

Cilhrmozfiond Adding spirit with their playing at the freezing football games, tense cage tilts, colorful parades, and other school activities, the East Rockford Concert Band, clad in their outstanding red and white uniforms, began another full year of concerts and civic and athletic appearances. Aside from the stealthy tapping of Sousa's famed marches and jazz swing tempos, the East High band, under the direction of Mr. Allen Elmquist, is famous for its annual Vesper services every spring. About the first of December, the Rab music makers trade the cold open air stadium for the band shell in the balcony overlooking the gym, and give out with everything from semi-classical numbers to Shenanigans East Rockford can be very proud of its two All-State music makers, trumpeter Kenneth Arvidson and clarinetist Rich- ard Nordlof, who earned first and second chairs in the States Red and Blue bands respectively.

The music at the Vesper concert's afternoon and evening programs is of a classical and religious nature. In April, the band presents its annual spring concert in East's auditorium to give the parents a chance to see and marvel at what the band has accomplished during the year. Throughout the year, many assemblies are presented by the band, the outstanding ones being at Christmas and a week preceding the spring concert. To terminate the year's activities in a royal manner, the band provides the music at the Memorial Day service and at the Commencement exercises. The annual picnic each spring highlights the bands second semester social activities. All music from Down by the Station to the William Tell Overturen are forgotten for the day while the boys concentrate on baseball, hot dogs, potato chips, and cokes.

A highlight of one of the Charlemos Club meetings this year was a discussion by Miss Sylvia Brewer, French and Spanish teacher, on her vacation in Mexico City last sum- mer. Miss Brewer compared life in modern Mexico to life in these United States. She tried to accustom the Span- ish students, via her own experiences, to Spanish customs and traditions. Having studied Spanish extensively she was found by the club members to be a very interesting speaker. For the club initiation the girls had to wear pigtails and colorfulcontrasting peasant skirts and blouses which were deemed satisfactory by the old club members. At another meeting the members had a Christmas party where the main attraction was making and breaking a pinata, an old Spanish custom. One of the chief values of Charlemos Club is to acquaint its members with the use of everyday Spanish. They also study the economic and social conditions of the country thus learning to know these south-of-the-border neighbors not only as an artistic race but also as individuals much like you and me. The fine arts of weaving rugs, baskets, and intricately patterned lace tablecloths, molding beautiful pottery and decorating it by hand, and hammering out the silver from their over-stocked mines into exquisite jewelry are common occupations for these people. The half savage designs on much of the pottery are created with dyes made from juices of various berries and herbs. The Mexicans have been classed as lazy, thieving, no-good Indians through the centuriesg but anyone who has traveled through their land and seen their modern cities with their charming universities, museums, libraries, etc., knows that this, like so many mass classifications, is false. It took initiative and industry to bring this barren, God-forsaken land to the point of civilization it maintains today. Meetings held in 210, Mrs. Olga Bogen's room, were pre- sided over by Justine Johnson. Keeping the minutes was Imogene Lindberg. Kathleen Johnson acted as vice-presi- dent, Shirley Ekstrom as treasurer, Eileen Paulson as pro- gram chairman, and Nancy Johnson as social chairman.

The gayly-arrayed couples whirl and twist to the strains of square-dance music and folk tunes. The setting for this scene isn't a barn, as you may have thought, and its characters aren't hayseeds and country lasses. You are merely witnessing a typical rehearsal of East High's folk-dance group. Every Wfednesday and Friday night this group meets either on the auditorium stage or in the faculty dining room. The well-executed dances come from hard work, patience, and perseverance. The participants sacrifice much of their time to make this group the successful organization that it is. In the spring and early fall, when the weather is hot and humid, they whirl and twirl with seemingly inexhaustible energy, despite the sweat which rolls down their faces. The many outside invitations the dance group receives are positive proof of their popularity. Their main school per- formance is in the annual operetta which wouldn't be com- plete without their participation. Every year they are in- vited to show their skills at various grade-school activities, club meetings, conventions, banquets, and other gatherings throughout the city. The group, composed of ten seniors, eight juniors, and nine sophomores, does everything from schottisches and polkas to foxtrots. You have no doubt done some of the dances that they do such as Captain Jinksf' Wez1ve the Wad- mill, Gustaf's Skol, Duck for the Oysterf' and the Russian Kolimekaf' The Kolimeka is a favorite of the dancers, and it has been done by the various groups for several years. It is a typical Russian dance, in which the boys prove their ability and agility by squatting and kicking their legs out in front of them. This very often results in sore muscles and stiff joints, but they enjoy it just as they enjoy the other dances which all combine work with fun.

It's in the handbooklu But, Gov! This is just a sample of the usual arguments following cle- baters' practice in room 206. The question school teams debated this year was Resolved: That the President of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the people. The proposition brings in much study on past elections and voting statistics. Out-of-town debate trips are hilarious and hectic. The sleepy speakers rise early and travel by bus or car to distant high schools, napping or singing on the way. Then with a rush of ten and live-minute speeches, the arguments are under way. To prove their points, debaters quote statistics, authorities, and chatter like machine guns. Between bites of lunch, the teams plan strategy and discuss the mornings contests. After the afternoons rounds they anxiously await the day's results. Coach Gov Burlend's big grin means victory. Murmurs of They're crazy, or Aw, we had it by a milej' signify bad results. Roger Harmon, the team's business manager, and his as- sistant, Wayne johnson, plan money-raising projects to pro- vide funds for out-of-town trips. The familiar 'iCheck your coat, sir? at the basketball games is a debater drum- ming up business for their coat-checking system. This year the team also sold red and black Rab reflectors to be attached to car license plates. Not always arguing, the debaters enjoyed sharpening their wits playing 20 questions and guessing games at their Christmas patty in Mr. Burlend's home. For their earliest tourney on record, the varsity team traveled to Lake Forest college on October 29 where they tied for first place. Next on the schedule was the Blue Island tourn- ament on November 19, and Geneseo on December 5. Be- cause of bad driving conditions, both East and West could not attend the LaGarnge contests. An invitational tournament was held at East on January 6, to which teams from Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, had been invited. The varsity squad was looking forward to the over-night Augustana college tournament, Big Eight con- ference, and state contests which were to be held early in the spring. ncor oralfe Jguofio-uidnaf agllnafy Highlighted by informative and educational sessions at Greenlees Machine Tool Plant and Testors Chemical Plant, the junior Engineers began another year of audi-visual learn- ing. These trips show the factory's latest advances in meth- ods of increasing productions and keeping machinery up to date through engineering and chemistry. The purpose of visiting these places is to learn more about different types of engineering, The major purpose of the junior Engineers is to develop a clearer understanding of engineering by bringing informa- tion to the membership from the engineering fieldfl stated Wirlter Boguski, the club's adviser. As in past years, an out-of-town trip was scheduled during the second semester. Outstanding trips in the past have been to the Nash Company Plant at Racine, Wisconsin, and the fa Q ,S 5.?fiif3...s w famous Science and lndustry building in Chicago. Other tentative visits to factories in the Rockford area are to Wtntmd- ward Governor, Bell Telephone Company, Sundstrand Ma- chine Tool, ancl J. L. Clark Company. The junior Engineering Society requires that those eligible for membership must have a sound background of physical science and higher mathematics. All boys who qualify are notified and invited to join. Once a semester, the old members cast aside their slide rules and logarithmic and trig tables and enjoy a night of revelry in East's swimming pool, in addition to an array of refresh- ments afterward.

This newly-organized club with Miss Mildred Brolund as adviser, gives guidance to the teach- ers of tomorrow, while making better school citizens of today and having fun at the same time. Proof? Conferences and conventions are attended by delegates, who return to the club with information on the dis- advantages and advantages of teaching, how schools are organized, salaries, etc. Such a convention was attended by Marge Hubbell, club president, in October. The qualifications of teachers and other interesting facts about the profession are discussed and taught at the monthly meetings. Fun was had at a potluck and other social events. Helping Marge were officers June Gus- tafson, John Ryden, and Virginia Blades as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. eco ir 5 ew, - r This club has very cleverly derived its . name Seco', from the first two letters of the two words they are particularly interested in, cooking and sewing. They are girls who, in order to be eligible for this club, take or have taken some form of home economics. Their meetings this year, which have been especially interesting, have included many lectures and demonstrations. Maybe the most out of the ordinary was a demonstration on cake decorating given by Miss Mildred Brolund, their adviser. As an annual activity the girls again held a Mothers' Tea in the model apartment. At this after-school party, a program was presented by the members, and refreshments were served by the girls. The approximately 25 members this year elected as their leaders, Marjorie Baucom, president, Gloria Wenstrom, vice-president, Margaret Correnti, secretary, and Joanne Rais- beck, treasurer. 86 Upper picture!

Since the aim of the club is to practice French, it is required that you be at least a second semester French student be- fore you can join. Miss Sylvia Brewer, club adviser, said We are looking forward to having a very nice club second semester. The Christmas party, including games, gifts, and refreshments and the spring picnic are lots of fun and are anticipated. Outside speakers are sometimes secured for enter- tainment, and occasionally a skit in French is prepared by some mem- bers. Having fun with classmates while learning French is the aim of their club.

Part of their hard earned dues went to buy trees which were planted behind the school. These trees not only helped maintain the soil, but they add greatly to the beauty of the grounds. Members of the club are educated in the importance of conservation by means of movies, slides, and speakers. All work and no play makes conservation members dull boys and girlsf so they balanced their duties with a picnic and a Christmas party the first semester.

You would then discover that you are witnessing one of the every-day rehearsals of the Senior Glee Club. This group, led by Mr. Linden Lundstrom, makes no appear- ances outside of school. This is different from most of the choral groups which participate in several out-of-school performances. lt shows its skills at the annual Christmas and Easter programs and the operetta. The Senior Glee Club was formerly composed of students in all classes, but since the formation of the Junior Glee Club, only seniors may participate. The group sings many different types of songs, among which madrigals and Fred Wairiiig arrangements are very popular. The requirements for entrance into this organization aren't very rigid . . . it's all up to Mr. Lundstrom. If you like to sing and if you have a reasonably good voice Cit needn't be perfectl, you have a pretty good chance of being ac- cepted. All you have to do is ask for a tryout. Of course, if your voice sounds like a rusty hinge or a piece of chalk being rubbed the wrong way on a blackboard, you had better try your luck at something else, but the main require- ment for entrance into Senior Glee is a voice that will blend well with others. lf you listen just once to their singing, you can immediately tell that the voices of all members possess this quality. The ollicers of the club are Tommy Sheetz, Wayne Kohler, and Melba Rogers, who are president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer respectively. 1 The greatest unsung workers are the librarians whose duty it is to pass out and collect music each day. Shown here is Barbara Puckett doing her daily task. 1 TX '? ru.. Carrglal in anion!

The triangular club pin stands for a sound body, mind, and spirit. Mr. Howard Hansis, club adviser, explained the above principles plus other facts and future plans of the organization at the fall initiation and induction of new members. The club which meets every other Tuesday at the Y Lodge had guest speakers, movies, and discussions as programs for the ,49-'50 year. Fellowship nights were held at the old Central High build- ing at which time club members found an outlet for their excess of energy either in the gym or pool. The annual skating and dancing party was held on january 25 at the Y Lodge. The Hi-Y is a wide spread organization having clubs in 60 countries of the world. East Highs branch is nationally affiliated and is active in both national and state-wide activities. ln May the club sent john Hof and jerry Paterson from East to Springfield to act as a member of Congress in a model legislature sponsored by the Hi-Y clubs of Illinois.

The blackboard in this room is seldom clear for it is usually covered with various odd little reminders and notes to errant or poky reporters. Such things as, Your features are late!', Get your results in not later than Monday morn- ing!', or Miss fs more than occasional, See me, appear daily. Even when the last papers have left 202 on Friday morning there is no relaxing for the staff or the reporters for the next weekis stories should already be getting in and the weekend is sure to be full of copy reading and headlining for Nancy Johnson and joan Herrstrom, the second semes- ter editors. Monday and Tuesday morning are hectic, for the last of the paper must be sent down to the typesetter. Wednesday the glue and layout suggestions are brought out in order to organize the galleys into the recognized form of the High- lights. Thursday after school is probably the most riotous of the whole week with the nearly 25 circulation representatives from the homerooms folding the papers. When everything is finally done and Miss and a few remaining students pick up and leave, they are tired but happy over the com- pletion of another issue. One of the important phases of newspaper work, the job of getting the ads from the stores and factories and arrang- ing them suitably for the paper each week, was handled by jack Hagstrom and Dick Ahlgren with the help of an able staff of ad solicitors. The records from the past Highlights in the form of the morgue was kept by Inez Styles in the new morgue file.

West.- ima San fa Who ever heard of a full-time Santa-one who works 365 days of the year and not only at Christmas? The American Red Cross is such a Santa, and through the Junior Red Cross or- ganization, East High students can do their share in spreading joy and help throughout the year. This was shown by the 61 gift boxes that were sent overseas. Packed under the direction of Miss Vera Hunter, club adviser, and Jane Lindquist, gift chest chairman, these boxes contained washcloths, soap, pencils, paper, small toys, thread, combs, and many other ar- ticles given by East High students for the European children. Bringing cheer at Christmas time, the Welfare Committee, headed by Mercedes joles, went caroling at several Rockford hospitals. A basket filled with toys and clothes by the homerooms, was given to a family with three small girls. The Junior Red Cross also played Santa to a family whose house and possessions were burned, March was the time for the annual enrollment drive.

Although no Latin Club was active in East last year, the Latin students have this year reor- ganized to further knowledge and understand- ing of Latin and to establish or increase friend- liness between those who are taking or have taken more than one semester of Latin. Perhaps the highlight of the year was a Christ- mas party which featured a play, the singing of Christmas carols in Latin, and refreshments.

The industrious Library Club works during and after school hours to assist Miss Eleanor Heuver, the librar- ian, with this full time job. Twenty busy girls spend one of their free hours each day doing the various duties that keep our library running efficiently. The girls check books in and out, collect fines, keep attendance, repair books, and work in the reserve room. The library has over eleven-thousand books. It also has a large collection of magazines which are useful to many students. Many government and history classes spend class periods in the library using some of the 121 magazines sub- scribed to. They also use the eight newspaper subscriptions. Papers are kept on file for one year. Approximately l0O0 pamphlets are collected and listed in the card catalogue. It is the responsibility of the girls to keep books properly shelved and the most recent magazines available. gmciencg we 0 wary Because carrying admits to the study hall is so popular, the girls have to take turns doing this. jobs are posted daily by Miss Heuver. Other duties are shellacking new books, shelving books, and keeping the card catalog in order. About once every month meetings are held in the library. These are for business only. Three or four parties are given at the girls' homes during the semester. A Christmas party was held at Patricia Allison's home December 14. The girls exchanged gifts and participated in games. The club members usually have a picnic in the spring. One boy belongs to the club. He happens to be a large Dutchman named Dirk. Dirk is the official cookie jar for the girls and his services are greatly appreciated by hungry workers. The girls are assigned certain duties to refill Dirk with cookies for the club. A handy reference to information about authors is a club project. Details are clipped from book jackets and col- lected in a scrapbook which is useful in getting information about these books. Also a collection of school news is made by the girls. Write-ups of school events are clipped from the newspapers and kept in a scrapbook. Club officers were elected early in the year. joy Haegg was chosen club president. Elected vice-president was Carol Roberts and secretary, Joyce Swenson. Patricia Alli- son was treasurer and Ann Mowers served as program chaiman. 16 Monomen, those dependable watchmen of our halls, were: Top row: E. Vowles, M. Nelson, P. Olson, N. Goodin, C.

All they do is sit out in the hall and do the studying that they could just as well be doing in study hall! Well, it's about time those unknowing studes found out just what some of the unpleasant tasks and duties of a monitor are, because it's not all fun and ease . . . not by a long shot! How would you like to have to tell your best friend not to talk to you while you are on duty? It wouldn't be easy for you, and it's just as hard for the mono-men, but it's part of their job. Believe it or not, suspicious-looking characters do enter East High . . . and much oftener than you may think. That is another duty of our dependable watchmen . . . to direct any doubtful-looking persons to the office or report them. The monitors have seven basic rules which they are ex- pected to live up to to the best of their ability. They must be courteous, yet authoritative: their chairs and surround- ings must be kept orderly, no visiting or loitering is to be done around the posts, teachers' suggestions are to be listened to politely, the mono-men must see that all lights are turned out after classes have passed and must be re- sponsible for turning them on again one minute before classes are dismissed, monitors are not to become abusive, or embarrass or inconvenience anyone, and they are not allowed to bring their wraps to their posts or leave them until the bell rings. This year's officers are Dale Hallberg, president, Ernie Vowles, vice-president, Nancy Kindstrom, secretary, Russ Johnson, treasurer.

Since the club only sings songs written in the treble clef, this name is very htting. This music group was not organized for the sole purpose of singing, but several other skills are taught to its members. The girls learn how to direct a choir successfully, are instructed in sight reading, learn notes, key signatures, and other musical skills. The club has many activities, both in and out of school, during the year. ln the 1949-50 school year, the group gave concerts at the Bethesda Evangelical Covenant Church, the Central Christian Church, and the Trinity Lutheran Church. The Treble Clef also plays an important part annually in the Christ- mas program and the operetta. Before members are chosen for this select group their voices are tested very carefully. The girls sing mainly secular and sacred music, and Fred Waring arrangements are very popular with them. Witli the wide variety of music, the girls reach a wide range of knowledge of musical terms and background. This group meets daily in room 215 with Mr. Linden Lund- strom to practice, to further their musical abilities, and to experience the thrill of group singing. The first semester officers for this year were Mert hlusteson, president, Priscilla A. johnson, vice-president, Rosie johnson, secretary, and Margaret Correnti, treasurer. For the second semester, Valerie Thomas, Anne Beckstrand, Helen Johnson, and Karin Ericson held the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively.

Parents also are notified and receive special invitations to attend the assembly. Sophomores who are members of the sophomore honor group and have made the honor roll the second quarter of the second semester are invited to serve as ushers. After the processional, led by the officers, both the old mem- bers and the candidates for membership sit on the stage fianked by baskets of flowers and ferns with the flaming torch, the emblem of the society, as the background. The girls wearing white dresses and the boys in their best suits with white shirts and ties, the dignified music, and the soft light- ing make the induction impressive and beautiful. As the can'didates are presented, they step forward to receive their white membership cards and a friendly handshake from Mr. H. C. Muth, the principal. The speakers are Mr. Muthg Miss Ruth White, sponsor for the East High chapter, the society president who explains the purposes of the club and administers the oath, and an outstanding visiting speaker. The new members repeat the society pledge after the president: I pledge myself to up- hold the high purposes of the National Honor Society to which I have been electedg I will be true to the principles for which it stands, I will be loyal at all times to my school, and will maintain and encourage high standards of scholarship, character, leadership and service. In order ro be elected to the society, a student must be in the I IA, l2l3, or IZA class and must rank in the upper third of his class scholastically. In addition to having high scholar- ship, he must meet the requirements by outstanding leader- ship, service, and character. Students should be leaders in classes, active in clubs and other extra-curricular activities, cooperative and interested in the welfare of their school and community, to be selectedf Miss Wliite announced. Not more than fifteen per cent of the Senior Class nor five per cent of the Junior Class can be elected annually. Pupils vote on their classmatesg faculty members also vote. Then a committee of thirty faculty members including the principal, assistant principal, dean of girls, class advisers, department head, club advisers, and athletic and debate coaches study student records and make the final decision. These records are kept from the time students enter East and teachers cite outstanding pupils each semester. The society was given a constitution and officially founded by the Secondary Principals Association of the National Educa- tion Association in New jersey in l92l. Its purpose was to recognize pupils outstanding in character, leadership, and service and to create an enthusiasm for these ideals in schools where chapters existed. Today there are over 3,500 chapters throughout the country and encouragement and honor are given hardworking students in these schools. Since 1946, the society has given scholarships each year to the ten seniors who make the highest scores on a general aptitude test which it sponsors each spring. Society officers are Roger Harmon, presidentg Grace Nappi, vice-presidentg Russell johnson, secretary, and Miss Wliite, treasurer.

The two orchestras had one formal meeting also this year in the form of their concert at West in which they each played selected numbers followed by the combined orchestras playing Hayden's Second Symphonyf' To finish off the year right, the group played at Baccalau- reate services in the East High auditorium.

The Student Council has proved its worth in other ways be- sides service. For example, the jukebox in the cafeteria was purchased by the council treasury funds in 1948. It was through the efforts of the Student Council, also in 1948, that a memorial plaque bearing the names of the gold star boys from East High was placed in the Memorial Garden at the west area of the school campus. The Memorial Garden was dedicated at the same time in memory of the gold star boys structions from an elected chairman. The duties performed by these committees are numerous, the safety committee promotes safer conditions throughout the school and city, while the music committee, for example, sees that the jukebox in the cafeteria is supplied with an assort- ment of records to please everyone. Those of you who ate your lunch to the strains of 'iMule Train and Because will agree it was certainly varied. When you were dancing to the strains of Eddy Howard or Guy Lombardo via wax, playing ping-pong, or sipping a cold re- freshing coke after our five had beaten some unfortunate team, did you ever stop to think who had planned all this? None other than the social committee. Seeing that change is on hand along with ping-pong equipment, tickets, chaperons, refills for the coke bar, and students to take charge of all the sales, etc., is no small job as the chairman of this committee will testify. One of the many honors and recognitions bestowed upon this reputable member of the National Association of Student Coun- cils was having Ed Brockmeier, this year's president, chosen as Rockford's mayor for a day.

The purpose of the council is to promote a high standard of school citizenship, to encourage and maintain participation in extracurricular activities, and to prepare its members for active duty in our American democracy. The awards committee is an especially important committee. It is composed of one senior boy and girl who act as president and secretary respectively along with one junior boy and girl.

Taking all the pictures for the Highlights and Argus, this club plays an im- portant part in our school program. Mr. Harvey Anderson, the club's adviser, said its purpose is, To furnish pictures for Publications and to further interest in photography as a hobby. It is succeeding well in both of its aims because the club now has approximately 40 members. These people are all enthusiastic workers who are really interested in photography. This year's club is the largest in its history. No experience is necessary and any one who would like to learn about photog- raphy, has the extra time to spend with it, and is not afraid of work, is welcome. The club is divided into four separate parts, and each branch has a different crew and head. The photographers are the ones we are probably most familiar with for it is their responsi- bility to arrive on time for a picture and to take it quickly and correctly. It doesnt always work as planned, but if the pictures are taken by students for the annual and paper they seem much more like a students' publication than if profes- sional photography were used. Snapping a picture is always a thrill, but when, after waiting seven long minutes while the negative is in the developer, then rinsing it in clear water, and lastly soaking it in hypo for about ten minutes, you discover before your eyes a dis- tinctly outlined black and white negative you experience a thrill that you'll not soon forget.

On the clerical side of PSPO is the files department, they keep a record of all pictures taken and file them so they can be easily found. A print of the picture is pasted on an envelope folder containing the negative and this is filed in the drawer under its particular classification. Last, but certainly not least, is sales. Promoting and selling pic- tures to the students is the job of sales and they are the ones who keep the club in or out of the red. Pic- ture orders may be placed in 304 by any of the Sill- dents when a particular print is desired. PSPO meets twice a month, usually on Wetlnesclaiy nights after school in room 304, its headquarters, to discuss the business end of their club, but other activi- ties besides photography keep them busy, Other money making ideas of the club were selling pictures of the basketball team. The team picture was mounted inside a huge basketball while action shots of the out- standing team members Were scattered around it. They sponsored an exhibit of prize winning pictures from the Fourth National High School Photographers' contest and had a Halloween party just so it wouldn't be all work and no play.

The inexperienced Sun Risersn journeyed to East Moline to drop a heart breaker in the seasons opener 7-0. The Moline Hilltoppers gained revenge for last year's 20-0 setback in the third quarter when Bob Nolan tossed a spot pass to Marv Salomonson who ran 29 yards for the lone score. Head Football Coach Harry Palmer The outclassed Eastites were overpowered to the tune of 41-6 by the strong Wheaton eleven the next weekend. Wlieat- ton's well-balanced line plus a shifty backfield led by Fullback Richard Balzhier, who dealt out four Wheaton six pointers, added up to an unstoppable combination that spoiled the Rabs' first home encounter. East's lone tally started with quarter- back Dick Lake's passing to Don Bogdonas who in turn lat- eraled to Phil Vella. Vella raced the remaining 55 yards to score East's initial touchdown of the season and in dosing so put across the first Rab T.D. for the third consecutive year. The Rabs threatened again in the fourth quarter, but they had Father Time to blame for the failure. Co-Captains Don Bogdonas and Russ johnson The next week, the Rabmen traveled to Bloom Township of Chicago, an undefeated team in 1948, and were topped 44-6. Bloom showed the Rabs what to expect when they scored in the early minutes of play as Gene Marks, veteran halfback, went 30 yards on an end sweep for the T.D. The next few minutes of play saw the Rabs' co-captain Russ Johnson sprint 72 yards to the double line and pay' dirt. Denny Johnson missed the kick for the extra point. The Bloom eleven, sparked by Jackson Gray and Billy Graham rolled on to score two more T.D.'s in the third period, and two more in the final canto, while the Red and Blacks' offense slowed down to a walk. When Russ made the long run, stated Harry M. Palmer, head grid mentor, I thought we had at last found ourselves, for everybody executed their blocks perfectly! . 0'-WWW Capitalizing on the tiring fourth period defense of the Red and Black to chalk two touchdowns, the Joliet Steelmen out- scored the E-Rabs 33-14 in the conference opener. The Steel- men first hit paydirt on a 51-yard touchdown drive clirnaxed by John Takac's drive over right guard. Three plays after the kickoff, Bob Anderson, Rabs' fullback, faked a punt on third down and raced around right end and behind perfect blocking went 71 yards for the touchdown. Denny johnson converted and the Rabs led 7-6. After the intermission, East took the kickoff and started a drive downfield that terminated with a Dick Lake to Don Bogdonas pass for the score. Highlights of the drive were two Flodin to Bodgonas passes for a total of 40 yards. Denny Johnson again kicked the extra point and the Rabs led 14-13. The Steelmen iced the game when they scored twice in the final quarter. A last minute drive by the Rabs was stopped on the Steelmen's 16-yard line. 1 Qmgwawo W ff,-Gov-4-05M In their home stands, the LaSalle-Peru Cavaliers, under the quarterbacking of Bill Plantan, All-State honor winner, handed the Palmermen their fifth straight defeat via a score of Z1-0. The Rabs battled the Cavaliers' highly rated eleven on even terms before the intermission, but the passing of Bill Plantan and the downheld scampering of fullback Dick Bolen stopped the Rabs cold in the second half. Pretzels Slide to 7-6 Win over Rabs on Much Soaked Grid- ironf' headlined the East Highlights account of the rain soaked Rab-Pretzel encounter. Pre-game dopesters favored the Rabs to salt the Pretzels but the swamp-like Beyer field decided the difference. The determined Rabs powered through the Free- port forward wall most of the evening with ease, with Russ johnson, Jim Flodin, and Leon Kaltved doing most of the ball toting. Flodin slid off guard to score, climaxing a 63-yard drive. Denny johnsonis attempted kick for the precious point was blocked.

The city series was then tied up at five tilts apiece, but East had suffered the embarrass- ment of four shutouts. In the first Canto Jerry Rebecca of West scored the initial E-W touchdown and put the Warriors in front at the half, 6-0. The Rabs' first scoring drive was terminated on Wests 19 after a 41-yard march. Early in the second half West covered 76 yards on five plays for their second marker. Alex LaSalla and Stan McCrudden scored the last two Warrior touchdowns in the last Canto, with Don Levisay adding two extra points to make the score 26-O. The Hilltoppers nearly scored as jim Flodin passed to Russ johnson in the flatg behind a strong band of blockers, Johnson romped to Wests 20-yard marker. The large gain was nullihcd on the next play by a Rab fumble. In the last home tilt of the season the Tomcats of Aurora East clawed their way to a 26-6 victory over the hapless Rabs. 1?

All of the Tomcats' T.D.'s came on long runs, the average being 49 yards. journeying to Elgin in the final grid tilt of the year, the Eastites ran into several tough breaks, but after a rugged battle, fell prey to the Maroons 35-6. The tough breaks came by way of two blocked punts and an intercepted pass which set up three Elgin T.D's. Russ johnson scored the only East touchdown early in the first quarter when he climaxed the Rab drive by going over the double marker from ten yards out. The attempted placekick for the point was blocked. The coaching staff of the Hilltoppers was made up of Mr. Harry Palmer, head football mentor, and assistant varsity coaches, Mr. Steve Polaski and Mr. Art Wilson. Besides tutor- ing the varsity and junior varsity squads, the assistant coaches scouted the opposing elevens and mapped the strategy of the coming grid tilts. The Lut-fisk lads lost all three of their non-conference battles and did not register a win in conference competition to notch last in the final conference standings. At the close of the season end Don Bogdonas and halfback Russ johnson were elected honorary co-captains. Three Rabs were elected to first string berths on the third annual all-city football squad and three more Rab gridsters merited second team recognition. The all-city squad was composed of members of the St. Thomas grid eleven along with boys from East and West high schools. Hilltoppers receiving first term merit were Denny johnson, Don Bogdonas, and Russ Johnson. Roger Pearson, Pete Cha- bucos, and Dick Lake were on the second team. Pete Chabucos and Dick Lake are juniors and will be bidding for first string berths on next yearis first eleven. Russ Johnson was chosen as most valuable player on this year's team.

Coach Bob Allen's hard-fighting East High Sophomore football team finished strong but only managed to cop sixth place in the Big Eight Sophomore Conference with a record of 1 win, 1 tie, and 5 losses. Their season record was 1 win, 1 tie, and seven defeats. The Rablets got their season started on the wrong note as they dropped their tune up 26-7 to Wheaton in a non-conference contest. The following week saw East High led 7-6 at the half on a beautiful 60-yard sprint by halfback jim Wisocki, but they were unable to hold oH the Bloom High Schools brilliant offense in the last two quarters and were topped by a 24-7 score. The Rablets opened their conference play at home against a tough Joliet eleven. The Steelmites managed to push across three touchdowns and a safety to hand East their third loss of the season by the score of 22-7. A 30-yard pass from quarterback Red Langley to end Bill Johnson accounted for the Rablets' touchdown, Bob Dobnick added the extra point. The LaSalle-Peru sophomores, conference champions, proved to be too much for the Rablets. They tumbled 39-0 at LaSalle-Peru. Captain Bm McNamara Freeports sophomores slipped and slid through a driving rain and thick mud to a 14-0 conquest over a slightly improved and firey Rablet eleven. West Aurora's Blackhawks proved to be a tough host the following week as they downed the Rablets 24-0. East halfback Gary johnson broke away for a 60-yard gallop to the Aurora 15 but the sophs were unable to score. The Rablets looked like an entirely different team the following week against their cross-town rival, the West High Papooses. A1- though they dropped the contest 19-13, Coach Allen's charges played inspired ball throughout the garne. Jim Wisocki climaxed a 50-yard Rablet drive on a one-yard plunge for East's hrst score of the game. john Hoppack, East Highs hard charging guard, recov- ered a West High fumble on the two-yard line and Red Langley went over from there on the next play. Bob Dobnick, split the uprights to give the Rablets their thirteenth point of the game. East Aurora's Tomkittens were stunned beyond words the following week as the so-far-winless Rablets battled the visitors to a 13-13 tie. An Aurora fumble was recovered on the Tomkitten three-yard stripe and taken over for a touchdown by Red Langley to give the Rablets their first six points. In the fourth quarter East fullback Bob Dobnick threw a 52-yard pass to Langley who was finally thrown on the Aurora six-yard line. On the next play halfback Jim Wisocki powered his way over the goal line for the score.

Dobnick's try for the extra point was good but a l5-yard holding penalty forced the Rablets to try it again from their own 17. At this point Dobnick calmly stepped back to the 25-yard stripe and booted the ball 55 yards, right between the goal posts for the game's tying point. In the hnal game of the season at Elgin the Rablets surprised everyone but themselves by trampling the Elgin sophomores to the tune of 20-0. On three quick plays Jim Wisocki carried the mail from the Maroon 54-yard stripe over the goal for the first touchdown of the game. Midway in the third period Wisocki recovered an Elgin fumble and a few plays later he carried the ball over from Elgin's six-yard stripe. In the final quarter, John Langley scored the last touchdown on a quarterback sneak. The showing that the Sophs made in the last three games sug- gested to everyone what to expect in the next two years when these players graduate to the varsity ranks. At the close of the season, the Sophs elected Bill McNamara, line- backer, captain for the 1949 season.

X . Bob Allen f Swimming Coach X -. Although meeting such powerful squads as Clinton, Iowa, the 1950 Iowa state champions, and New Trier of Winnetka, the school that swam to first place in this meet record of six wins and two losses and a first and second place in their two triangular encounters. With only four of this year's lettermen, sprint-man Milton Ellis, breast-stroker, Tom Bartels, Bob Kevetter, state record holder in the individ- ual medley, and back-stroker Val Krukonis, being lost by graduation, Coach Allen is looking forward to an even more successful season next year. In the grand finale of the 1949-1950 season, the state meet at New Trier, East placed a backstroker, a man in the individual medley, and a crawl and a medley relay team to give them a total of seventeen points and fourth place in a field of 53 com- peting schools. john Hoaglund, the Hilltop backstroke sensation, copped the championship medal in the 100-yard event and also set a new East High pool record with the excellent time of 1:05.4. Hoaglund remained undefeated in competition seasonls Illinois state meet, the Rab tankers completed their schedule with a dual all season. The state meet this year saw the first state record captured by an East High swimmer. Bob Kevetter won preliminary competition in the 150-yard individual medley with the time of l:4l.9, In the finals the next afternoon he received third place. His record, however, still holds. Hoaglund and Kevetter then teamed with James Wisocki to capture third place in the medley relay. Then immediately following, the crawl relay team composed of Wisocki, Milton Ellis, Richard See- berg, and Edward Kiltz received the fifth place berth for East Highs remaining downstate points. Much credit, however, must be given to other mainstays on the Rabs' squad. The day of the state meet saw Stan Mattson too ill to compete, Stan had been a consistent point-winner in both the 200-yard free style and 150-yard individual medley races. Jim Samorian, breaststroker, and backstroker Val Krukonis, also made the trip to New Trier, Krukonis having received ninth place and Samorian having received fourteenth. In addition to those already mentioned other Rab mainstays were Tom Barrels, breaststroker, and Dick Wisocki, distance free-styler. The l949-50 season saw for the second year in the schools history a separate sophomore squad hold competition with other schools, and in nine dual meets the Rablets came out with a record of six losses and two wins and one tie. One difficulty they encountered, however, was that three of their best swimmers, jim Wisocki, Edward Kiltz, and Craig Bergstrom, competed almost solely in varsity competition. This fact greatly limited its potentialities. At the close of the season Bob Kevetter was elected captain of the varsity squad by his teammates.

East scored two vic- tories over West to keep its supremacy of basketball in Rockford. The hardwood season got under way on a cold December day on the home floor with East playing host to Oregon. The Rabs downed the Oregon five with an 85-33 score. Wayne Lenz was high scorer with 25 points and Roger Stelma took second with 22. The next battle took place at Skokie, Illinois, with a determined Niles Township squad. Both sides held each other to a close battle but Niles Township edged the Rabs out with a 44-45 score. East's three tall men, Roger Stelma, Howie Weyburg, and Dave Lepperr, had numerous tips in the last 30 seconds of the game, but there seemed to be a cover on the hoop as the ball would just sit on the rim and fall off on the outside. Co-Captains jerry Stockwell and Roger Stelma The Red and Black dribblers rolled over Waterman the next night at East's court with 92 points to the opponent's 28, as everyone that was dressed saw action. The next weekend the E-Rabs opened the Big Eight conference with a 44-34 win over Joliet and Frank Blum, who was the conference high scorer. On Saturday, the seventeenth of December, the East squad traveled to Moline and were handed a loss by a score of 55-42. This game was played in the Wharton Field House and the boys that got in this game appeared on television, as all Moline games are televised.

The night before Christmas Eve the Rabs traveled to Freeport and lost to the highly rated Pretzels 60-fi2. The day after Christmas the basketball team left by train for East St. Louis to play in the annual holiday tournament. This, by the way, was the longest trip the East High squad took during the season. In their first game the Rabs were matched against eighth rated Wood River, the tournament favorite. This was a very see-saw battle with the score changing hands many times until the last minute when a Wood River man, aided by Russ johnson, made the deciding basket with East High winning 57-55. The next afternoon East met Kankakee, the l949 tournament winners, and went down in defeat to the tune of 57-48. Kankakee went on to win the tournament for the second straight year. Returning home the Laudemen were handed a 5-fi-28 defeat on their own floor at the hands of West Aurorals Blackhawks who were rated second in the state at the time. Dick Lake took high point honors with four buckets and one free throw, while Lenz followed with seven points. This game was very exciting as only two or three points divided the teams throughout the game. After losing the close one to West Aurora the Rabs traveled to Belvidere to play the hard-lighting Bucs. The basketeers pulled the game out of the fire to the tune of 38-57, after being behind for three quarters. Friday the thirteenth, the Rabs played host to LaSalle-Peru but f . the perennial jinx didn't affect our boys as they won their second conference tilt 50-59, On the fateful night of January 20, our traditional foes from the West side defeated us with 57 points to our fi9 at the Warrior gym. Roger Stelma and Howie Weyberg led the Rabs with l5 points apiece. This was the sixth victory for West in the schools existence compared to East's 19 wins. After the East-West game the bucketeers lost to Beloit, which went to the semi-finals in Wisconsin state championship, by 59-55.

The Laudemen 'fought hard, but the Aurorans, paced by Dean Moecher who had missed previous games because of a football injury, won the game 50-41. Freeport visited us on February 3, and were handed a defeat with a 37-33 advantage for East Rockford. Freeport was completely fooled as East Rockford, led by jerry Stockwell, playing his first game, employed a slow break and a possession type of ball to thwart the Pretzels' fast break. The next week, on February 10, the Laudemen traveled to Elgin. The veteran Elgin squad outshot East with 52 points to our 34. Elgin was later to go downstate to be defeated in the semi-finals by Mt. Vernon, a second time winner in the state championship. The night after this East handed Belvidere a loss on its own floor of 62-44 to avenge for the poor showing made at Belvidere. The Rabs took a second victory over LaSalle-Peru on their own stamping ground with a 62-41 score. In the first half nobody could miss the basket as the basketeers netted 35 points. With Roger Stelma hitting for 25 points, the E-Rabs trounced Sterling, which was in the Sweet Sixteen, by a 58-40 score. On February 24, Alex Saudargas' Warritm-rs Senior managers Armour Swanson, Martin Nelson, Bill Gulbrandson and John Stine put away equipment for the last time after their third year of service for the basketball squads. l gin,-,,M,'C 9f4444j6,DmLd-4V .Terry Stockwell, East's field general of slow break, dribbles past Wfeber til, Dillow 1-ij, and Hines lll K flil as Roger Stelnia l5'J awaits a possible pass. Ozzjvmafkf came over to East High to receive a 5-'i-42 defeat at the hands of the rambling Rabs. This victory evened the series for the year between East and West at one win apiece with one more possible game left. In the first game of the regional, East met and trounced a Rockton quintet by a 76-22 score. Two nights later Stillman Valley paced by Abbott, a small and tricky player, gave East a tough battle but succumbed 5-i--13. Coach ,lim Laudes mighty men forged ahead to win the regional title over a game and tough West Rockford quintet in perhaps one of the closest East-West Regional champion- ships ever played. Neither team led the other by more than four points throughout the game, and when the final gun was sounded, a 45-59 victory was recorded for the hard working Eastites as they gained a position in the Sectional Tournament the following week at West Rockford. The Sectionals, played on West Highs floor, gave East a 67-50 victory over the Byron Tigers, while in the next game, the final, the Pretzels from Freeport defeated the hard working Rabs by a 52-48 score. Freeport's height advantage proved to be the decisive factor in the last quarter of the game and they went on to Champaign for the first time in eight years. At the state tournament Freeport lost to the state champions, Mount Vernon, in the quarter finals.

In the third game of the season, East High succumbed a stubborn Beloit quintet 31-30 and a week later they traveled to Freeport to play the Freeport junior varsity in which it gave the Rabs a 44-31 win. At the annual letter assembly Roger Stelma and jerry Stockwell were elected by their teammates as honorary co-captains for the 1949-1950 esason. Along with the major letter they received, Coach jim Laude presented them with the black star designating that they are captains. Also receiving letters were Ronald An- derson, Russ johnson, and Wfayne Lenz, who will all graduate. Major letter winners who will report to Coach jim Laude next year are Roger Coffman, Dick Lake, Dave Leppert and Howie Weyburg. Senior managers Armour Swanson, Bill Gulbrandson, Martin Nelson, and John Stine all received major letters. For the hrst time in many years, Coach Laude had the major letter winners vote for a captain or co-captains to lead the 1950-1951 squad. Roger Coffman and Howie Weyburg were chosen and will act as co-captains next year. Again the junior varsity basketball team had a very fine record as had the two previous teams coached by Steve Polaski. Like last year's team, which lost its Hnal game to West High, this squad lost its final tilt. The junior varsity opened its season with a 55-38 win over its cross-town rivals as Dick Lake acquired 24 points on 12 baskets. The next game saw the junior Rabs meet the Janesville Bluebirds on the Sunrisers' floor and beat them 52-20.

With a third quarter spurt of 16 points the junior Rabs won their second game from Janesville by a 41-26 score. After trailing in the first half 12-9, Beloit staged a rally and broke into the lead 30-21 midway in the second half. Then, the E-Rabs came back in the fourth quarter but just couldnt quite make up the difference as they were edged 39-38. Members of the junior varsity squad receiving letters were jim Benson, Robert Holmquist, Dave Kjell, Leonard Magnuson, Don Roos and Dave Erickson. Other boys who should lend added strength to next year's varsity are Angelo Lazzerini, Loren Lund, Ted Simpson and Jack Olson. VARSITY SCHEDULE - 1949-1950 E. O.

S0015 ,W Coach Harry Palmer's East Sophomore team came out of the season with a won 16-lost 6 record for the year. They ended up in second place in the Little Eight Conference with a 7-3 won lost record and captured second place in the Belvidere Sophomore Tournament. The Rablets ran over their first three opponents Oregon, Niles Township of Skokie, and Waterman Reserves by the scores of 45-42, 41-11, and 46-30, respectively. In their first conference game East Rockford bumped Joliet 49-41, with Howie Kramp hitting for 18 points. It was a perfect weekend, for john Deere Junior High School of Moline fell the next night, 57-42, as Bruce McClure netted 21 points for the Rablet scoreboard. Turning on the steam in the last quarter, the Rablets defeated Freeport 37-22 on Freeport's home floor. Ability to hit free throws paid off for East, for while they put in 13 out of 19, Freeport hit only 6 for 17. ' West Aurora took an early lead, and after leading 31-19 at the end of the third quarter, they held on to hand East their first defeat by the score of 36-31. The Sophs failed to recover and their second defeat came the next night at the hands of Belvidere, 49-44. Behind 19-18 at the half, East came back to hand the conference champion, LaSalle-Peru, its only Little Eight defeat, 44-31. Next week saw East lose its first cross-town battle on West's home floor. The Braves jumped to a first quarter lead and held it all the way Taking advantage of a 20-14 half time score, East fought its way to a to win 44-38. 47-42 victory over Beloit. East trounced the hapless Tomkittens from Aurora, 39-29, and in doing so helped push them into the cellar. Freeport fell again, 58-39, on the Rab home floor as Gene Water- fall pushed 22 points through the tomato colored rims. Traveling to Elgin, the Palmermen squeezed by a tough opponent 37-36. Their Satur- day foe, Belvidere, took a rough going over, 55-40--The Rabs had avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the little Bucs. The Rablets then had a lost weekend losing to LaSalle-Peru 44-32, to return home and drop a contest at the hands of Sterling Township, 40-39, on Saturday night. How- ever, the road to recovery was gained as East squeezed past West 31-27 on the Hilltop- pers' court. A second quarter drought proved fatal for the West side live. Entering the Belvidere Sophomore Tournament, East won its Saturday afternoon game over Rochelle, 40-36. Bill McNamara, Bruce McClure, and Bill Nelson shared scoring duties. The second round game was played the following Monday night and the Palmer- 1 men tumbled Leyden, 42-36, as Gary Squier and Gene Waterfall contributed twelve points to the winning cause. In the Saturday afternoon semi-finals DeKalb fell victim 46-31. Gene Waterfall made Captain Gene Waterfall 10 out of 14 free throws and linished the game with 14 points. The night finale matched the Sophs against Freeport, which they had beaten twice previously. Following their seniors example of the night before fliast varsity lost the Sectional to the Freeport squad 52-48, on March 101, the Rablets lost 50-38 to bring home the second place trophy. This, is by the way, is the farthest any East Soph team has ever gone in the Belvidere Sophomore Tournament, During the season, the sophs amassed a grand total of 936 points in their 22 games while allowing their opponents 738. Their free throw average was 5805 compared to the opponents' 4607 but East outfouled their rivals 399 to 394. In the shooting department the Rablets got away for 935 shots and hit 340 of them for a 36.37-. Other teams could only penetrate the Soph defense for 896 shots and score on 289 of them for a 32297. After the season was over, the sophs elected Gene Waterfall, the smallest player on the team, captain for the year. Letters were awarded to Charles Bissman, Bill johnson, Howard Kramp, Bruce Lantow, Bruce McClure, Bill McNamara, Bill Nelson, Gary Squier, Paul Upstone, Gene Water- fall, and Chris Wold.

At the beginning of the season, forty boys including six letter- men reported to Coach Art Wilson, who is serving his second year as wrestling mentor. Any day after school, one could see these boys working out in the auxiliary gym doing push-ups, set-ups, backbends, and bicycling in order to develop their leg, stomach, neck, and back muscles. Since this sport is one of the most strenuous of all the sports at East, it is necessary for a participant to be in top physical condition. The first match was a triangular meet at East Rockford be- tween Waukegan, Hinsdale, and East. In the triangular meet each wrestler is required to wrestle two matches, one in the Top Roux' Coach Art Wilson, Bishop, Anderson, P. Johnson, H. Johnson, D. Nelson, D. Anderson, Scifo, Swenson, Mgr.

Ralph Wahlberg pinned both his opponents in the first period to lead the East inusclemen. Roger Pearson, Eastys heavyweight, pinned Coalssley of Hinsdale and wrestled john- son of Waukegan to a draw. Gordy Thorell gained a pin over Jung of Waukegan, Pete Chabucos a pin over Thiedel of Hinsdale, and Richard Propp a pin over Chase of Hinsdale in the 154-pound bracket. Cornelius Edson won a decision from Blumberg of Waukegan. New Trier, always a threat for the wrestling crown, defeated East 40-0, but against Beloit, Dale Peterson, a sophomore, decisioned Collins while Ralph Wahlberg beat Johnson as Beloit won 28-8. Against York of Elmhurst the grapplers fared a little better, but they lost a close one 18-16. Dale Peterson, Ralph Wahlberg, Paul Maurici, and Ronnie Johnson won for the Rabs. Ralph Wahlberg, Pete Chabucos, and Roger Pearson were the point-getters as East lost its next match to Elgin by 51-10. The The E-Rabs lost to a strong Joliet team 35-5 as Ralph Wahl- berg picked up five points when he pinned his man. On January 21, the Wilsonmen won their first match of the year as they beat Evanston 25-21. The first three wrestlers, Dale Peterson, Ralph Wahlberg and Dick Crosby won their matches to put East in front 15-O. Pete Chabucos and Tom Scifo also won their matches to end East's scoring. The only wrestler to qualify for the state meet was Roger Pearson, 165-pound grappler, but Rog, perhaps in one of the toughest brackets, lost in the first round of the state finals. Letter assemblies saw fifteen boys receive letters, ten will report to Coach Wilson next year. Receiving letters were Ralph Wahllterg, captain and winner of 22 of 24 high school matches, Roger Pearson, Cornelius Edson, Dick Crosby, and Neil Bishop. Boys who will return are Gordon Thorell, Dean Anderson, john Osborne, Pete Chabucos, Dick Propp, Dale Peterson, Tom Scifo, Doug Carlstrom, Vance Saundberg, and Paul Maurici. 2-6 1 3 ,MTL . 129 ...iw Senior Letterman Jack Beckstrom who took second in the district singles.

Also 20 back from last year's squad were jim 21 Nelson, Earl jones, Chuck Blomquist, 23 Bob Reum, Richard Nelson, Jim Kelly, Harvey Zeidenstein, and Don Mosser. Eg The most promising of the new candi- May 3 dates is sophomore Jack Lofgren, who f' was a member of the championship If doubles team in the Boys' District 15 Tournament last summer. K Vl7 Last year the Rablets copped the Dis- U trict Tournament at West Rockford 27 with fourteen points and in doing so, sent five boys down state. They were Bill Rudelius and Jack Beckstrom who won the District doubles, Gordon Lucas and Bob Hubbell who came in second in the District doubles, and Dave Kjell In the State Tournament Lucas and Hubbell, and Kjell were eliminated in the Hrst round while Rudelius and Beck- strom got as far as the semifinals. The Big Eight was held at West Aurora and the Hilltoppers again walked off with top honors by taking seven points. Rude- lius and Beckstrom continued their winning ways by winning the Big Eight Doubles Championship. This year practice started with conditioning and fundamentals in the gym. With the coming of warmer weather the practice sessions were moved outside to Southeast, Beatty, and Churchill parks. The Ladder Tournament was held on April 3 through 5.

QW Qfoayoeczfa Miami With four returning lettermen and several good potential juniors and sophomores to bolster Coach jim Laude's parbusters, it appears that East High will again have one of its strong golf teams. Returning from last year's team are Russ johnson, the 1949 captain and No. 1 man, and Jim Benson, both seniors, together with Howie Weyburg and Dick Lundgren, juniors, who made last season's State Championship bid. Chuck Rosenquist, a junior, Bill McNamara and Jim Peterson,'sophomores, should strengthen the squad also. East lost the services of lettermen Dick Wakenight, Dave Johnson, Fred Becknell, and Don Olson. The 1949 team won the district crown, placed Hfth in the state meet, and fourth in the Big Eight Conference at the tough Aurora Country Club.

About 25 other aspiring tracksters will complete the team that will represent East High in numerous meets throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Four seniors, Bill Hills, Wayne Lenz, Dave Swanson, and Leland Wright, and two juniors, Dick Lake, and Arvid Bloom, are the six returning lettermen from last yearls track squad. Hills and Lenz took first and second, respectively, in the district meet in the 880-yard run last year, and Hills later went on to take Hfth place in the state meet. Running the 100-yard dash for the Hilltop cindermen will be Arvid Bloom, Hills, and Wright. Bloom, Jim Benson, and Paul Maurici will handle the 220 event for the Rabs. Bob Swenson, Tom Johnson, Keith Reidesel, and Jerry Johnson are the candidates from which East's representatives in the 440-yard dash will be chosen. Coach Polaski's 880 men are Hills, Lenz, and jack Newman. The one mile run will be handled by Swanson, Wayne Kohler, Val Krukonis, and Dave Hauser, seniors, and Ralph Schnepper, the only junior in that event. Going over the hurdles in the l20-yard high hurdle race will be Dave Ericson and Roger Keene. Lake and Ericson will be the contestants from East High in the 200-yard low hurdle event. The Rab thinclads who will be heaving the shot put around in the l950 season are Dennis Johnson, Jim Benson, and Don Nelson. The job of discus sailing will be handled by Johnson, Benson, and Nelson also. High jumping for the cinder crew will be handled by Roger Coffman, Lake, and Dick Propp. Jerry Obermiller and Propp are Coach Polaski's entrants in the pole vault event. Lake, Wright, and Bloom are the Rabs who will do the broad jumping in the meets of the 1950 season. A team composed of Bloom, Lake, Swenson, and Benson is scheduled to run the relay for the thinclads. Some of the sophomores that will make up the Soph team coached by Bob Allen and be the mainstays of future Rab track teams are Swenson, Keene, Propp, Dobnick, and Blomberg. Oak Park, perpetually one of the strongest track crews in the state, was host to a number of schools in the Oak Park Relays held on April l in which East High entered but failed to score. The East Rockford Relays designed to give the East track men some more com- petition on their home track, will be held at Beyer stadium this year on Saturday, May 6.

Coaches Polaski and Allen have scheduled many other meets for their teams with such schools as West Rockford, Beloit, Janesville, Free- port, and many other relays and triangular meets. The district meet, in which East won two frrsts and a second last year, will be held at Beyer Stadium on Saturday, May 13. The district will be followed by the State meet at Champaign on May 19, 20. The grand hnale of the track season is held on Saturday, May 27, when the Big Eight Conference meet will be held at West Rockford. Last year the Rabs won fourth place in the conference. They also beat West High in a dual meet. Last year's win over West in the East-West meet made it two wins in a row and if the Sunrisers win this year, they'll set a record of three wins in as many years. In the Wheaton Relays, East Rockford captured fourth place with 31 points as the distance medley team of Arvid Bloom, Wayne Lenz, Dave Swanson, and Bill Hills won in 61454. East's two-mile relay team composed of Bill Hills, Wayne Lenz, Dave Swanson, and Wayne Kohler scampered to another win with 8:40 time. Shot- putter Denny Johnson and the four lap relay team also scored points. wwf' R W April 1 Oak Park Relays there 8 Madison West Relays there 18 Freeport here 22 Oak Park, West here 25 Janesville, West there is ,Ex W 29 Wheaton Relays there Q' May 3 Belvidere here 6 East Rockford Relays here 9 Beloit there 13 District here 16 West here 19-20 State Meet Champaign 23 Joliet, Elgin Elgin 27 Conference here Cemer left: Bill Hills, Lower left: Jim Benson, Cen- ter righl: Dave Swanson, Lower right: Denny Johnson. 135 Back Row: Nelson, Mgr., Coach Bill Aleks, A.

Milligan, Vowles, Harris, Holmquist, Fleming, Lindstrom. icufnoncf Conf K gozffimanh AWA Coach William Aleks has high hopes for his 1950 baseball team. Bolstering the chances of having a winning season are two returning lettermen, Fred Zoeller, a hard hitting and smooth fielding first baseman, and Ernie Vowles, last year's utility infielder, who will operate at short stop this year. Besides Vowles and Zoeller, there are nine boys who were members of last yearis squad which won 13 games, lost three, and had one contest halted while the score was tied. Mr. Aleks will most likely present a smooth fielding and powerful hitting ball club composed of an inheld consisting of Fred Zoeller at the initial sack, Jerry Stockwell at second and Ernie Vowles in the short field will compose the keystone combination, while Dick Otto will hold down the hot corner. Roaming the gardens will be sophomore Don Strauss, senior Roger Milligan, who can cover much territory, and strong armed Don Bogdonas, who bats in the cleanup spot. Chuck Lindstrom, Arnie Milligan, and Pat Fleming, all members of last year's squad, and a newcomer, sophomore Ralph Olson, will provide a well-balanced pitching staff, which did very well in American Legion baseball last summer. Behind the plate, wearing mask, mitt, shin guards, and chest protecter, will be either Jerry Patterson, or Dick Harris. Both boys are good handlers of pitchers, have strong throwing arms, and have much power at the plate. While the foul weather raged outside, the baseball hopefuls began working their arms into shape in the gym, and received many useful tips from Coach Aleks. Each evening there were chalk talks in which Mr. Aleks stressed the importance of good bunting, and heads up base running.

The Rabsox's opponents are usually guilty of several miscues due to the Hilltoppers' aggressive tactics on the basepaths. In preparation for the state tournament grind, Coach Aleks has lined up a tough 14-game schedule, which includes two games each with the always tough Belvidere Bucs, the West High Warriors, who have almost all of their last year's District championship team re- turning. Saint Thomas, who provided a couple of close calls for the Rabs last year, and Freeport, as well as Durand. East will be host in six of the 14 skirmishes. In the opener, the Rabats looked impressive as they whitewashed the Orangeville nine, 20-0, behind the brilliant pitching of junior Arnie Milligan. He allowed a mere one single. The Rabsox attack was led by Jerry Stockwell who banged out three hits in four times at bat to drive in two runs, and score four times. The next encounter was a sad one, indeed, for all good Rabs, as the Belvidere Bucs, paced by the brilliant pitching of Ed Stegmiller, who gave up only two hits to right fielder Don Bogdonas and third baseman Carl Dickey, humbled the Hilltoppers 6-1. 154 M Infielderr: Dick Otto, Ernie Vowles, Bob Holmquist, and Fred Zoellerg Ouilielderr' Don Strauss and Don Bogdonas.

The attendants of the queen, the only royalty elected at East, were Miss Connie Kaltenbach and Miss Pat Paluzzi. The queen is elected on the basis of personality, leadership, popularity, and scholarship. Each year the school votes for the queen from the sweet sixteen group of girls nomi- nated by the club. To promote interest in swimming team and water safety, Coach Bob Allen created the Dolphin Club ten years ago. His success is evident in the packed natatorium at each per- formance of the show. Looking at Life was presented on March 17 and 18. Vaudeville comedy acts and clown diving presented the lighter touches, while swimming competition exhibitions, fancy diving, acrobatic tumbling, and a canoeing demon- tration by Mr. Kenneth McDonald, Rockford's Red Cross water safety director, made the aquatic show educational. Dorado, girls' swimming club and sister club to the Dol- phins, contributed three rhythmic water ballet numbers entitled Deep Purple, Do You Ever Think of Me? and Kiss in the Dark. The meetings, held each week, are devoted to the Dolphin Show planning or to practice on swimming interests and achievement emblems that represent twenty-five and hfty miles of strokes, as almost all of the Dolphins are active members of the swimming team. ln a traditional manner, the senior Dolphins take great 'N 136 pride in their humble initiation of the new swimmers. Great care is taken to assure long remembrance of the eve- ning's extravaganza and of the tasty concoction made by the seniors. The ofhcers this year were Dale Hallberg, president, Val Krukonis, vice-president, jack Beckstrom, secretary, Tom Hopp, treasurer, and john Hoaglund, sergeant-at-arms. Dolphin :lab memben in review!

The Rab Varsity Club, which is the official name of the organization, was one of the first clubs organized at East when the Rockford school system split into two branches in 1940. Letter winners from football, basketball, track, swimming, golf, tennis, baseball, wrestling, and cheerlead- ers are eligible to become members. It has a membership of about one hundred. The R-men usher at basketball games, sponsor and receive all proceeds from the junior varsity games, have a picnic in the spring, schedule several fun nights for playing basket- ball, swimming, and eating, help the GAA with their carnival, and hold two initiations during the year. The main event was the annual semi-formal dance held in the gym on March 24. In l94O this was the first semi-formal to be held in the boys' gym. This yearls was the tenth such dance. There are four amendments to the R Clubls constitution. One, if a member is absent three consecutive meetings, he is automatically dropped, two, members shall not smoke with their R-sweaters on, three, members shall not allow their sweaters to be worn by girls other than their sisters, and four, any member who fails to uphold the rules and regulations is automatically dropped from the club and is excluded from all RN Club activities.

About face, sound off, cadence count. These are but a few of the commands to which the East High School battalion of the Reserve Officers Training Corps are subjected. Such com- mands are being given to an increasing number of cadets each year, there were 120 sophomore cadets registered last fall, the most in East High School history. The East High battalion is under the leadership of Capt. Fred Pickering, who served both East and West High Schools, Master Sgt. William Sherrill, and Sgt. Tony Korman, Sgt. Korman is new to the school. The purpose of the course is to turn out cadets who are skilled in the field of military procedures. To attain this end, the boys ROBERT THOREN Lieutenant CHARLES STEWART Lieutenant HOWARD BENSON Captain CORLISS CROSS Sponsor in khaki have undergone a rigid schedule of drilling, training, and study. The study includes the issuing of a 900 page manual and numerous pamphlets especially designed for the course. To add to the educational facilities, the department has its own sound projector. The brunt of the schedule is borne by the sophomores and juniors, with the seniors garnering a bit of practical experi- ence by practicing teaching and command.

With this in mind the winning name was Military Melodies, sug- gested by Ruth Lindskold, a junior. As is the custom, the commissions for the second semester were made public for the first time. At the ball, Robert Pederson was appointed bat- talion commander with the rank of major. Also honored at the ball were Mahlon Burbank, promoted to captain, Elaine Sommer, who was chosen as his sponsor, and Douglas Farr, Dennis R. Johnson, and Wayne Dahlgren who were made lieutenants. 1 .

They are required to be present at all ROTC ceremonies and pro- cedures to represent their company and the East High battalion at all non-school affairs. JACK BECKSTROM Captain LOIS DOXEY Sponsor Second semester activities include the annual federal inspection, competitive drill and the Memorial Day parade. In May the Fifth Army Headquarters visits the high school for federal inspection. The unit is given a rating corresponding to the school interest, general knowledge of cadets in application of military tactics, general achievements and neatness. Competitive drill involves a series of drills in which the su- perior company and platoon are chosen with respect to appearance and drilling ability. This event is open to the general public.

Besides having to perform at cer- tain of the football and basketball games, the cadets also must report for practice every morning at 7:30 to get in rip top shape for the ceremonies of the coming year. Usually the drillers have to plow through mud up to their ankles during the half time ceremonies at the annual East-West game. However, this year they fared slightly better, for though the weather was rather inclement, the ground was firm. The members of the drill team can usually be distinguished by a red emblem on the sleeve of their coats and by the red and white braid that loops over the shoulder. Captain of this yearls team was George Kasper, who was also commander of the rifle team. 14 fi X 5?

Because many of their interests have been in sports, membership in this club has provided these girls with a greater understanding of sportsmanship, cooperation, responsi- bility, and the value of friendship. In spite of the fact that en- rollment is so much greater than previously, attendance has im- proved to a point where very few forfeits occur and attendance at the games can be depended upon. Swimming and other sports requiring individual skills are offered by GAA's two branches, Dorado and Individual Sports clubs. Monday is the night that Dorado members meet to have their hour of fun under the supervision of Miss Kathleen Lovett. Archery, track, badminton, table tennis, bowling, and tennis attract many girls to compete against each other under the lead- ership of Miss Elizabeth Bennett. At the close of each year awards are presented in assembly by Miss Mabel Brill, GAA adviser, to those who have earned either 1200 points for the first award, 1600 for the second, or 2000 for the third. Points accumulate from week to week and from year to year as these sports' craving girls are given four points for each nights participation in any of the three clubs. Additional points can be obtained by passing Red Cross swimming tests, by taking general physical health examinations and from POSUIIC tests. A sum of money was set aside from last years carnival proceeds for the purchase of a Kodak Tourist camera with Hash attach- ments. Thus, this year for the first time GAA has furnished all the pictures in the girls' sports section of the annual with the exception of only three. A large number of pictures of each sport and outside activity were taken and developed by the club's photographers, Loretta and Lillian Carlson. Many points of human interest were photographed at the carnival, the Dolphin Show, the girls' sports banquet, the pep rally, the picnic, and the Arga Ball in which GAA collaborated with the R Club. In order to continue the photographic phase of GAA, a group of girls interested in becoming shutterbugs were instructed by the present photographers to carry on next year. Last years president donated a scrapbook in which a clever arrangement of the snapshots was made. At the annual girls' sports banquet in May these pictures were on display for the inspection of the mothers and daughters. This year marks the seventeenth anniversary of the girls' Athletic Association in Rockford high schools. SOPHOMORE GAA MEMBERS: Bark Row: M, Halverson, S. Warner, J. Christianson, S. Grip, J.

Because of bad Bennick weather on some nights, kickball, a game similar to baseball, was played in the gym. The sophomores took second place honors by tying the Juniors. Barbara Didier's strong defensive as well as offensive team captured first place among the twelve competitive teams. The best players from these teams were chosen to play in the interclass tournament games. Speedball is similar to the game of soccer with the exception of some hockey and basketball rules such as passing, dribbling, drop kicking, and punting. Teams likewise consist of eleven players including forwards, halfbacks, fullbacks, and a goal keeper who are assigned positions Lorem by their captains. Scoring is made by drop kicks, field goals, and by touchdowns. The latter Bryan occurs when a player standing behind the end line catches the ball thrown by one of her players who is standing behind the six yard line. The ball, when caught, scores two points.

Is the timer ready? Are the scorers ready? Are the players ready? These shouts echo throughout the girls' gym just before an exciting GAA vol- leyball game gets under way. just to get an idea of what goes on during volleyball sea- son, let's take a peek inside the gym. Look - there are the Mar - I n y land and Wisconsin teams lined u and it looks as if a . 3 1 game is about to begin! Let s watch. Proving their ability by playing their positions and by cooperating, this team won a high percentage of its games. The Maryland right back has the ball, and she will start the game. Here goes the ball over the net, and what a serve! That kind of serve is called an overhand. Look how helpless the Wisconsin players are in their attempt to return it. There goes another overhand serve safely into Wisconsin's court. It takes much time and practice to perfect a serve like that, and it's one of the individual skills the girls can acquire. Because the ball is tossed into the air and batted with an over-arm swing when it reaches shoulder height, the serve is somewhat difficult to master. Say - did you see that? The Wisconsin center forward just made a beautiful spike and sent the ball smashing down into Maryland's court. Thatis another skill a player can acquire, and it's done by jumping high into the air and smashing the ball downward into the opponents' court. Only forwards can perform spikes. The horn sounds. Yes, Felicia Mohauptls Mary- landers have battled themselves through their sixth straight victory to cop the championship. Riglalx A powerful untlerhzlnd serve can be very eHective in gaining points.

The feminine version of basketball allows only six persons Cthree guards and three for- wardsj on each team. The forwards occupy one-half of the floor and the guards, belonging to the same team, take the other half. A center line which divides the court, cannot be crossed by either the guards or the A forwards. Thus, the play- 3 ers have access to only half the court. Drib- f bling, as you see in the J mastered individually, the person must be able to fit them effectively into the game, and at the same time work well with the other members of her team. An alert raring-to-go- girl who possesses an exuberant spirit is an asset to any team. On the lookout for violations and fouls keep- ing the score accurate, and watching the min- utes tick by are the stu- dent assistants who have taken special tests which qualified them for these important jobs. Basketball is truly one of the most exciting, fastest -P moving games in the 0 world of sports. An accurate shooting .f lj, squad of juniors won the championship crown in the inter-class basket- ball tournament by de- ij js , B men's game, is prohib- ited, but one bounce be- fore a pass or shot is legal and permitted. Although the girls' game is slightly different from the boys', it does not mean that the contests are not every bit as excit- ing as those which the East High Rabs partici- pate in. The screams, shots, and cheers which come from the east end of the third floor on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights during basketball season is enough evidence to prove that there is more excitement going on here than in a game of monopoly, which has been in progress two or three hours. Basketball is a combination of the fundamen- tals of jumping, running, catching, passing, anti shooting. When these techniques are Q feating both the sopho- more and senior teams. Barbara Didier captain- ed the juniors while June Gustafson and Bar- bara F. Miller led the sophomore and senior teams respectively. In the first game of the tournament, the juniors sank the sophs by a score of 16-9. The next night the sophs came back and defeated the seniors by a close score of 6-5. The last game of the series the juniors won 10-9. Compos- ing the junior team were Lydelia Finks, Cora Jacobson, Joanne Anderzon, Janice Ander- zon, Ann Wanstrom, Sharlott Anderson, Lona Beck, Kay Hedrick, Margaret Nelson, Sandra Cryer, Ruth Ann Pojman, and Bar- bara Didier.

Will this fine pitch be smacked into the far left field, or will its flight terminate in the catcher's glove? If you happened to look out on the athletics field on a sunny afternoon in May, you would see a group of girls catching, throwing, and batting baseballs. This isn't the Rockford Peaches' training camp, nor are the girls members of the Peaches baseball team. What you see are energetic GAA members out to win the game for their respective teams. The game of soft- ball makes it possible for the team members to demonstrate their individual skills and team- work. Some of the skills which a fine player masters are those of fielding flies and grounders, throwing a ball from all positions Cand in all positionsl accurately, placing hits into the right spots on the field, and bunting. These are of no value, however, unless the individual works well with the other members of her team. When the umpire shouts Batter Up, you can ex- pect things to happen from a player who has such an understanding and knowledge of soft- ball. Since many of the GAA players have this understanding, the games are something to see! People from Mars were there! Where? At the GAA carnival, of course. These strange crea- tures made their appearance several times on February 10, which was the night of the gala affair. Barkers, dressed in gaudy clothes, beckoned the carnival goers to come and see the greatest shows on earth. To see the various side shows, the crowds went into gayly deco- rated booths which were on either side of the gym. Among the attractions were a beared lady, a tight rope walker, a cake walk, house of horors, a fish pond, and miniature golf course. The highlight of the evening was a style show at which clothing of all types was modeled by male and female members of the student body. The clothes came from various Rockford stores. From the girls' gym, calls of swing your partner, grand right and left, and promenade home were heard because here, square dancing was provided. After the booths closed, the midway was cleared, and social dancing completed the night of fun and frolic. sian hdary Schwartz Jeanne Stang Joanne Strohman Lois Tuell Juanita Wilson Jeanine Youngberg in 'Q' lil ..

Say, Lil, there was a homeroom notice that there will be an ISC meeting Friday. What in the world does ISC stand for and what is it? Gee, I'm surprised that you don't know that ISC stands for the Individual Sports Club and that it's a club organized for the purpose of giving girls an opportunity to compete against each other in sports that do not require teams. Although it's entirely independent of GAA, credits earned in ISC can be transferred toward a GAA award. In the fall, the girls interested in archery, show up Robin Hood by trying their luck at hitting the bull's eye, while those whose specialty is golf, try to become like professional Patty Berg. During the winter months bowling, table tennis, and badminton are the main attractions of the lSCers who like to participate in indoor games. Wlien spring comes, the girls' fancy turn to track and tennis. Touranments are held in each sport, and at the all school assembly in May, the winners of the tournaments are presented with a silver medal. cynjizfiafvtaf agioorlfd Top: Battling for the deciding winner in the table tennis tournament were the finalists, Joanne and Janice Anderzon, Joanne overpowered her twin by a close margin of points.

Dorado, the girls' swimming club of East High, meets every Monday night under the supervision of Miss Kathleen Lovett, newly appointed adviser. Open to all girls interested in swimming, the club offers the girls a chance to try for the mile club, Water ballet, or various other swim- ming tests and instructions. This year's club is the largest the school has seen with 165 members who actively participate in the swimming activities. Contributing to one of the main events of the year, a number of girls took part in the annual Dolphin show presenting their water ballet. Of the forty girls who tried out in December, these eighteen girls were chosen to participate in the show given in March: Pat Bertrand, Lila Carlson, Loretta Carlson, Joan Christianson, Sandra Cryer, Ginger Dahlquist, Jean Elliott, Karin Hedlin, Claudia Johnson, Justine Johnson, Mary Lou R. Johnson, Marilyn Mohns, Carol Middleton, Barbara Roose, Joanne Strohman, Pat Steen, Lois Tuell, and that Dofadoifes enjoy most is Water Jeanine Youngberg. These girls were divided into three ballet groups: Kiss in the Dark, Deep Purple, and Do You Ever Think of Me? Top: One of the many water sports polo. Botmm: On your mark! Get set! Go! Other activities included the mile club, for girls who swam one mile and at the end of that time received an award of achievement. One of the main highlights of the whole year was the Dolphin-Dorado picnic, which took place in the spring. At this event the boys of the Dolphin club and the girls from Dorado got together for an afternoon of fun, games, and eats at one of the parks. Bringing a close to a year of fun is the annual all girls' swimming meet at which girls may enter the events of their choices. This proves to be one of the most popular activities of the club year, and it seems a perfect end to a year of fun and frolic. Below: SOPHOMORES: Bark Roux' G. Brown, B. Mohaupt, A.
