There were always a number of them observing and lofiliiiqg, Through the year at East, the mythological Argus has been here, alert, watching us dissect a frog in zoology or struggle with a geometry gtheorem. Heis watched us hand out music in Glee Club or play the in band. He's seen us discussing school problems in Student Coun- or hurrying to meet the deadline in Publications. K He's observed us vigiaiting patiently in lunch line or trying to learn that history report in hegneroom. even at night, Argus has been here with some of his eyes open. seen us pleading for that winning touchdown or another basket. Hesgawatched us dancing at rec parties or prompting backstage at the play. He was there as we introduced our parents to the teachers at house, or as we made the rounds of the gym during the grand the prom. In Eastj' the eyes of Argus have sparkled with fun and good humor, grinned, chuckled, and sometimes even cried. But always theylve what they saw is recorded in this, the 1951 East High Argus. lull W W ll! Il ,IIN W' li ui Q 1l ' , ..,!ll E11 It p -WI 5, is -fm Il l! I II 'I I 95 I w . .. M2 s Huw!!

Even from the back East High is well-designed. The parking lot is an active place jammed with cars of all makes and models from '29s to '5ls. The Wing on the extreme right houses the different shop courses, including auto, machine, and electric. In the foreground is the sports field where the gym classes play baseball, football, and hockey, and football and track teams practice in fall and spring. East High is proud of its lovely Memorial Garden built to commemo- rate our alumni who died in World War II. Each Memorial Day the Stu- dent Council president places a wreath of flowers on the bronze plaque on which are inscribed the names of those who gave their lives for democracy. The ceremony had special significance this year, because the crisis in Korea has brought us all closer to war, than ever before. Approaching East from the east, we see on the left, the gym and swimming pool, and in the corresponding wing on the right, the auditorium. 6 . ,V .,, Hi! There! How are you?U say Ann Mitchell, Marilyn Kapala, Elaine Strohman, Shirley Seaworth, and Dennis Cuclia, as the Argus, with one of its many eyes, catches them lolling on East High's front lawn during lunch period on a sunny day in September. Jiagua Sym Saab: 254 fwdenfa, Huildflngd and Jiabiudiu, To those of you unfamiliar with East High, we'd like to introduce you to a wonderful schoolg to those of you who are students, past or present, we hope to bring back to you some pleasant memories of happy times and maybe even a few heart- aches. Through the hundred eyes of the mythological Argus, we see again winning our first out-of-town football game at Wheaton and the excited Rabs carrying our victorious team off the field. We see October, that brought more football, wins and losses, and Sophomore Parents, Night. junior-Senior Parents' Night brought nervous students introducing their parents to their favorite teachers. The junior class play and Thanksgiving vacation followed quickly. Outside the snow fell and fell and fell, there was no worry about a white Christmas. Our hustling basketball team breezed through the holiday tournaments and beat the state championship Freeport team by one point early in january, Promotions were announced at the ROTC ball, the Hrst formal of the year, and four lucky girls were chosen by the new captains as sponsors. We really began to be busy after the Publications talent show and could hardly believe half the year was over at the end of first semester, January 29. The Junior Mixer, GAA carnival, and ABL dance followed one another closely. Our disappointment at losing out in the regional basket- ball tournament lessened as we buckled down to work on the Dolphin show, senior themes, operetta, junior prom, and Senior class play. By May, the days seemed to grow shorter as award assemblies gave recognition to deserving people. Sports ban- quets and GAA play day followed. The senior tea, prom, bac- calaureate, and commencement took on special meaning for those who will graduate, and showed a preview of the future for those who will stay to carry on. To those of you who are strangers to East, we've tried to bring an idea of its spirit and activities, to those of you who know and love the Hilltop school, weive tried to hold up a mirror to show you- YOURSELF. Is it an exciting play or just the cold wind that is causing Joyce Stroniquist, Jackie Anderson, Janet Gardner, Mert Joles, Ann Wzin- strom, and Jean Sells, to jump up and cheer? Newly elected cheerleaders were this lively group of rooters. Seated around the inegaphones are Donna Anderson, Sandy Cryer, Irene Miner, and Marigene Bullard. Boy cheerleaders are Gene Schlupp, Tom KL1f2lllHllOS, and Ronnie Dierks. Miss Kathleen Lovett acted as the cheerleaders, adviser and chief critic. September and October were un- usually warm last yearg notice the number of fans in the stands with- out coats on. le nf UF-FFFTI Sophomores enthusiastically support their team, as well as the varsity, so they must yell twice as long. Still, they would always be on hand for the kick-off of the first game at 6 o'clock. Here a vivacious bunch are giving the cheeleaders some wel- come support. A pep rally before the East-West football game is a tradi- tion. After stunts, cheers, and introduction of the teams, a dance took place with an orchestra paid for by the Fans' asso- ciation. Loyal GAA members sell hats, pennants, streamers, ' and chrysanthemums. Here Darlene Wfilliams makes a last- minute sale before the rally starts. .al Through students are often accused of exaggerating, here is one slogan that really comes from the SOUL! 9 5 i l October 19 brought many scenes simi- lar to this when sophomores brought their parents to school to meet their teachers. At the left, Mr. Earl Kiesling, Wcurld His- tory teacher, chats with Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Carlson. l Helen Moody, junior class secretary, poured coffee at the tea tables on junior-Senior Parents' Night, while other students stood by to be sure they didnt run out of cookies. For the first time, the classes voted to serve free refresh- ments in the cafeteria, in the past parents were asked to pay for their food. 'fx gn 4. On parents' night, the whole building is open for parents to visit. Here Mr. Stuart Golding, Sharlot Anderson, Mr. Harvery Anderson, industrial teacher, Mrs. K. G. Anderson, and Mrs. S. Golding inspect an intricate machine in electric shop. UI Time out for tea in the model apartment! Wliile Mr. Gordon DeLaRonde, industrial, pours, Coach Robert Allen, Miss Elizabeth Kemper, commercial, Mr. Wfilliam Tjaden, mathematics, and Miss Marian Davies, commercial, relax for a moment from their duties for refreshments. Students, too, like to eat as testified by this group of machine shop boys. Mr. Oscar Olson, head of the industrial department, joined the group in their pot- luck lunch for hot dogs, potato chips, and cokes. ll N u p . i E J I ill My 1--X 9' iff ui li 1 Db , bam, at eww mae sae These junior girls illustrate good study habits and how to use all the facilities the library has.

Speech is designed to develop better speaking habits, self-confidence, and clarity when talking to a group, and we would certainly give Tom an A if he can clearly explain to most girls the fundamentals of this operation. Life at school functions around certain forms and blanks that are familiar to everyone. There's the bright gold late admit, white and school-skipper's shame yellow absence or tardy slip, green room-to-room forms and more. Other colors and sizes are found in the dull yellow cardboard report, and book cards, while programs card day finds us filling out four of these white beauties. Another blue form is the coveted library admit, while most re- ceipts for dues and subscription payments are white. Last but not least since it is usually the first thing we hear in Home Room each morning is the white, mimeographed HR notice that varies each morning from several lines to a full page and contains all club, class, and special announcements for the day. L5 ef J . Learning by doing, is an East High motto as these pictures prove. Top, Dorothy johnson, jun- ior, interviews Harley Butters, announcer and disc jockey at WROK, to prepare her Newswriting personal interview assignment. Newswriting is an interesting course offered to students with above average English grades who want to learn about journalism. This subject, taught by Miss Marie Johnson, publication adviser, meets three times during the day and from its students are chosen the coming year's Highlights and Argus staffs. The juniors in Newswriting do most of the routine writing for the paper and are assigned regular sources of news, called beats to write on. ,j:j:'faf', T-,wif 'jg nfwfrnsami af rg,- - aff' I . any AJ I J 4 X3 A ,.--17 L.. , 0' , 1 .

Looking over their shoulders, are Duane Aase, vice- president, and Kathleen Maurici, treasurer. On the black- board behind the officers is an outline of some of their new responsibilities. Standing in front of a campaign poster in junior study hall, the newly-elected officers Bruce Lantow, treasurer, Kent johnson, presidentg Helen Moody, secretar ' and Chris Wold vice- resident look at Y, , P , last year's scrapbook of sophomore activities. Donny R, Anderson is trying to influence a group of seniors to support his candidate for vice-president with a clever bit of electioneering. The walls of sophomore study hall were literally covered with cam- paign posters as election time neared. Here Diane Nelson, Shirley Sea, and Sue Sjostrom take time out from putting up their poster to show it to the camera. fy s in ELECT F0 Qmciu ,I ,- R Tyra THE BEST MAN KN TOHN IS HENRY fa,?R0UN ETS FILL E Hitudmta 8Zaat 3a4a,aZ-Ze Oggwaw Agia Avid Gampaigna Besides school elections November, 1950, was a national election year, and 667 senators and representatives were elected to Congress. Shirley DeM0ss is shown voting on a mock ballot in Government class, a required senior course in which we learn qualities of a good voter, how the president is nominated and elected, and how our national and state governments operate. The photographer must have said, Smile Please, to John Hoaglund, left, president, Jim Samorian, vice-presi- dent, Lillian Nielsen, left, secretary, and Darlene Gran- berg, treasurer, as they posed for a picture in the model apartment. Hoagie's diligent swimming practice, which helped him place first in the state backstroke again this year, and the lead in the operetta, have kept john very busy along with his duties as class president. Sumo also a swimmer, placed fourth in the state breaststroke, and is Dolphin Club secretary. Lil, noted for her good humor, served as secretary of GAA as well as secretary of the class. Dolly too was kept busy, for besides collecting class dues, she served as girls' vice-president of Student Council. 'J mber the Publications assembly?

The high collared shirtwaists, large hats, floor-length gowns, and or- nate furniture used, gave an authentic 1904 look to the scenery. The quick-action and humor of the play and plot were greatly enjoyed by those who came Nov. 18, 19. wma me an sec.

These hard workers are Mrs. Doris Fran- zen, Mrs. Anna Ware, Miss Betty Stenberg, Mrs. Eleanor Borden, and Mrs. Bernice Mullen, registrar. Behind the lines in the cafeteria, are those who serve us by planning, preparing, and serving the varied and appetizing lunches in the cafteria. Besides the government subsidized 25- cent lunches, salads, soups, sandwiches, and desserts, can be purchased. A familiar sight are Mrs. Hilda Olson and Mrs. Ebba Anderson. .7Pw4,e Mina- divine io- Keep Semi Running. Eliliieieniiyi Behind the brooms at East are ten janitors and two janitresses. Here Louie, a familiar favorite, is pictured in his closet where supplies are kept. The spotlessness of East's halls are due to these diligent men. nfl V. Behind the door marked Placement Office, each morning sits Mr. Oliver Schade, to whom Eastites talk about securing part or full time jobs. Mr. Schade serves not only East siders, but afternoons hnd him at West. Behind the door marked nurseis office is Miss Marian Dag- nan, whose cheery smile and greetings do much to improve a sick student's aches. She issues admits, excuses, and administers temporary care for the sick. 18 What is it that is engrossing Bud Ditto, Don Lodin, Jule Samuelson, Jean Elliott, and Carol Middleton so? There is only one replyg they hope to find the answer to another unsolvable Physics problem regarding weights and tension. There is a happy expression on their faces-at last, the secret is known. East High has two Swedish classes because a large number of students want to learn the language. Under the guidance of Miss Margaret Swanson, the classes take an active part in civic affairs as shown by this picture. They are broad- casting a program of songs in Swedish, one of several they have done. Some of the broadcasts have been sent to Sweden and exchanged for similar broadcasts done there. 1 strife. Before the snow fell, john R. Harris, and Sture Bengtson tried measuring distances with a tripod in trigonometry class by using the parking lot as a river and figuring the angles to get the distance. Here, Miss Elizabeth McGuirels English V class, drama- tizes the famous lines from Macbeth by Shakespeare: Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

You're right, it was Senior Farmerls Day at East. You can imagine the sur- prised expression of the Armistice Day speaker when he saw half of his audience dressed as Donna Mislon, Dolores Elwood, Jennie Kluz, Kay Hed- rick, and Karin I-Iedlin, were in this picture. Another fad that lasted longer and was really fun was nuke playing. The year 1950 finally found East Highers playing ukes at parties, club meetings, and informal get-togethers. Tom Scifo, Jean Anderson, Tom Valentine, Mavis Carlson, and Warren Landstrom, were caught strumming and humming at a joint Hi-Y and Y-Teen meet- ing. Did Arthur Godfrey ever expect this? Though harmful initiations are not approved of at East, some harmless fun is, and here Lucy Pottinger carries, as penalty for being initiated, a well-loaded lunch tray for the senior members of GAA. Part of Ruthie Lindskoldls ABL initiation job was to push a pencil with her nose across the Little Theatre stage floor. Later ABL had a pot-luck supper in the cafe- teria where new members waited on the older ones and ate jello and spaghetti with their fingers. Some of the pins used to identify various club members at East are shown at the left. .920-mefftirtg new Wai Jfdded Though the elevator shaft has been in the building for ten years, the elevator, located in the right wing of the building, was just installed this year. It will hold one and one-half tons but has never been that full yet. Mr. Orput demonstrates how useful it is to use by assisting the janitors to haul waste to the basement to be burned. A really new addition to East is the TV tower built on top of the shop building by the combined help of the electrical classes and Architectural Iron Works. The tower has ten foot angle irons to hold it in place and will first be used for FM, AM, and TV. Later, other high frequency and transmitting antennae will be installed. Besides the TB x-rays taken this year, seniors were given an opportunity to have dental x-rays taken free of charge. Here the visiting dentist shoots a picture of Valerie Thomas's teeth. The x-ray pictures were then returned to students who in turn could take them to their own dentists for analysis. Q 35 .sl : H if ii Q ,ti N' t N., A rx i , , 1 sxtgy, xxx?

A Cappella, Treble Clef, and the other choirs added lovely music. Remember Beautiful Savior? Many homerooms had parties to Celebrate Christmas but Mr. Arthur Satrels 5l6ers were the only ones that Santa paid a visit to, and it looks as if his bag Wasn't empty.

The morning of December 13 found Eastites sleepily trudging to school and falling asleep in study hall. ln a pre- dominantly Swedish community, Decem- ber 12 is an important night. It is the beginning of the Christmas season, and the Rockford custom is for groups of singers to go around to their friends' houses, serenading them between ll and 3 a.m. Groups like A Cappella choir, Swedish Club, and many high school students take part in this custom of ' Luciaing. Here's Swedish Club's Lucia,U Carolyn Carlson, with her attendants, Mavis Carlson, Colleen Kitzmiller, Jo- anne Adamson, Mary Lou R. Johnson, Nadine Lindeman, and Rosie Johnson. l .

Mr. Green, head janitor, is shown beginning the tedious job of shoveling again. The swirling wind and snow-covered cars in the background illustrate the extent of the bombardment. Many students come to school on special buses. When the roads were bad and the snow deep, the buses were often late and office girls were kept busy issuing late admits to load after load of passengers. A real ucold, cold winter with plenty of ice and snow! 23 r P? 17 Tom Karahalias poses as some- one Jack Lofgren might be looking for as part of the entertainment of the junior mixer, an informal party of dancing and fun held in the cafeteria. Accartcmfcafaasfaamia Snowbound, the Publications talent show, featured fifteen acts this year. Jerry Patterson and Lillian Erlandson, master and mistress of ceremonies, were proprietors of a snowbound Alpine lodge, and asked their guests to provide some sort of entertainment. The audience voted Betty Smith, who yodeled and played the guitar, first place both nights, and Jerry is shown presenting her with the grand prize check.

Basketball is an exciting sport, both for the spectators and the players. You could say Rockford is basketball crazy and you wouldn't be far from wrong. Thereis some- thing about the game - remember West Aurora, when East was rated tops in the state, and Howie broke an individual scor- ing record? We were sure we were headed for the Sweet Sixteen, but it just wasn't in the cards. Dave broke his foot, Howie and Bruce were injured. Weire not blaming any- one, or making excuses, we lost to Belvi- dere and didn't go downstate. But, smiles and tears, sighs and cheers, as the season endedg no one denied we had a good year, and loved every minute of it. Sophomore cheerleaders, Charmaine Melin, Nancee Clark, Sandy Barber, and Helen Di Tullio, order a coke to rest their weary throats.

Though the boys all have srniles as they sign teammate Dave Leppert's cast, they missed Dave on the squad to work with them. His injury, as well as others, hampered East greatly this year. Huddled around Dave are Rog Coffman, Dick Foerester, Dave Kjell, Howie Weyburg, Don Roos, Bruce Lantow, and Bob Holmquist.

A tradition at East, the tea honors our mothers and begins the festive whirl the seniors soon find themselves in. Senior Prom, always a magic word in any highschoolerls vocabulary, is held in the gym at East High. Needless to say, each year's dec- orations are more beautiful than the previous year's, and hardly an eye is dry when the strains of the last dance fade at 12 olclock.

The Rabs also had the privilege Cor misfortuneb of playing against all staters Willard Schuldt, giant end of the Elgin Maroons, and West Aurora's Dean Guzeman, said to be one of the finest open held runners in the Big 8 conference. ln the initial contest of the season, a non- conference tilt against Beloit, it looked as if the Rabs were going to gain at least a tie, when Purple end Frank Clarke intercepted a fourth down pass by Dick Lake on his own nine-yard line and scampered the remaining 91 yards for the score. Beloit made the extra point to give them a 7-0 victory over our disappointed but undaunted Rabs. For the first time in almost a year and a half our boys were able to bear the fruits of victory back to Rockford, as they slapped down a larger Wheaton team by a 7-6 score at Grange Field in Wheaton. In order to win, the Rabs had to Come from behind in the fourth quarter, over- coming a six-point deficit the impolite hosts had supplied them with in the third period. The play that produced the victory was a beautiful 25-yard pass play-Patterson to Bill johnson. Then Bob Dobnick, East High's Automatic toej' calmly booted the ball between the up- rights, to give the Palmermen this welcomed and badly needed win. The following week, the mighty midgets came home to entertain Elgin's highly touted Maroons. East outdid Elgin in every department except one, the number of points scored. The monstrous Maroons counted in the first quarter Of the game when big Willard Schuldt went over on a 22-yard end-around play. Although our Rabs were outweighed at every position, they put up a brilliant light throughout the entire ball game and really gave Elgin a scare. The Maroons, however, won 7-0. In the fourth tilt of the season, we once again went down in defeat, this time to a Bloom eleven. After numerous fumbles by both teams the ball ended up in the possession of our boys on their one-yard line. Pat Fleming squirmed over from there to score and Dobnick added the extra point to tie it up- The rest of the game was all Bloom, as they topped us 21-7. The Joliet team, paced by speedsters Ike White and David Walton, ran over, around, and right through our Rabs and handed them a 35-9 thrashing before a homecoming crowd at Joliet. jerry Obermiller, a substitute back entered the game in the final quarter to carry the ball six times for 35 yards and a touchdown. Bob Dob- nick kicked the extra point, to give us our seven points. ,wt X! R Q .pa 'fix 'i., ,m . s Quik Ni LEFT: Rab gridder Pat W Fleming C585 squirms away from an L-P player.

The Rabs opened the contest by kicking to L-P, who were forced to punt on a fourth down. We then marched relentlessly all the way down the held for a touchdown, with Pat Flem- ing hnally going over from the two-yard marker. jerry Patterson, the little General quarterback, scored the second first quarter touchdown on a one-yard sneak. Automatic'l Dobnick made both the conversions to give the Rabs a 14-0 lead. After two scoreless quarters, Jim Benson, having made two previous long gallops to the goal which were nullified by penalties, waltzed 61 yards on a delayed buck, to counter for East. The Rabs turned the trick again a week later up at Freeport, outscoring the Pretzels Zl-15. In the opening minutes of the ball game Ronnie Bartman recovered a host fumble on the Free- port 2l-yard line. Then, aided by numerous penalties on the Pretzels, we moved the ball down to the one-yard stripe, From there co-captain jim Benson, plowed over for the score. Freeport also scored in the first half to tie the game up 7-7 at the end of two quarters. Mid-way in the third canto, however, the Rabs opened up with their passing game and scored on a pass-lateral play that covered 50 yards. The toss went from Jerry East's Pat Fleming and Leon Kaltved pose an iron wall for LaSalle-Peru's hard-driving fullback john Prieser.

The play covered 53 yards and gave East its third touchdown of the evening. Bob Dobnick Converted on all three scores to give the Rabs their 21 points. The following week the Palmermen ran out of gas and West Aurora's powerful Black- hawks took advantage of the fact by slapping us down to the tune of 52-0. Aurorais Guzeman and Ochenschlager provided most of the fireworks on the ground, and Jim Biever, their fine quarterback, took care of the passing in great style. Although the annual inter-City clash between our Rabs and the West High Warriors was played on a bitter cold night, the weather didnt seem to cool off the Warriors as they downed us 6-0 before almost 7,000 shivering fans. The only score of the game came early in the first quarter when Warrior captain Alex LaSala fired a 15-yard pass to Stan Mc- Crudden who caught it on our 30-line and scurriecl to the goal line without a hand being laid on him. We threatened seriously twice, but we were unable to score either time. Jim Wisocki joey Teevan Gary Squier Z L V 1. JH' i l . X . ' ' , .ia . , M A' -- 1 H . . A E .,.

In the final contest of the season, we were defeated by a very powerful East Aurora grid team. The Tomcats were led by two of the hardest running backs in the conference, Wyeth and Williams. Although we dropped the contest, our fullback, Jimmy Benson, provided the biggest thrill of the game as he skirted left end for 43 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter. Don Nelson converted to account for our seventh point. This counter failed to meet the requirements, however, and we were humbled 19-7. The loss to the Tomcats gave us a 2 won- 5 lost record in conference play and put us in a fifth place tie with West Rockford and Freeport. At the conclusion of the season guard jack Newman and fullback jim Benson were elected co-captains by their teammates. Nine of our Rabs were given all-city honors, placing four on the first team and five on the second. Those who received hrst string berths were center Bill McNamara, end Roger Keene, guard Jack Newman, and fullback jim Benson. Guard Tom Hopp, tackle Don Nelson, end joe Teevan, halfback Pat Fleming, and quarterback jerry Patterson were named to the second team. This season Coach Palmer gave two varsity monograms and junior-varsity awards. john Lindskold received a major man- ager award and Duane Propp, Walter Wadman, and Noel Carter were given minor manager letters.

Coach Robert Allen's East High sophomore football team ended a not too successful football season with a record of nine losses and one win. Their conference record is six losses and one win. The Rablets dropped their opening warmup game to Beloit by the score of 13-12. Henry Brown scored first for East on a 71-yard touchdown sprint. The other East T D was scored by Don Edwards from the one-yard line late in the second quarter. In their hrst game away East sophomores were upset by Wheaton 19-6. In their first conference tilt, the soph eleven were set down by Elgin 26-O. Elgin's Norm Spears scored two of their touchdowns and passed for a third. The other touchdown was scored by Mapes on a 25-yard run. The E-Rablets dropped their fourth straight to Bloom sophs by a 15-O score. Bloom scored in the first quarter when a bad center for East gave Bloom a touchback. At the start of the second quarter Prienti of Bloom scored from the one. In the last quarter, Blooms Clayton scored from the 48-yard line. The following week East met Joliet. A blocked punt in the third quarter set up Joliet's first touchdown. The Steelmites went on to win 15-6, East scored in the second quarter on an 18-yard pass by Clayton Strieb to Clell Brinkley. With Brooks scoring twice for the visitors, East went down to defeat 16-0 in a conference game against the LaSalle-Peru Cavaliers. After recovering a fumble in the second quarter the Cavaliers scored quickly by a 19-yard jaunt by Jim Brooks. Pictured above are this year's sophomore team.

The home fans had good reason to whoop it up this year as the lanky Laude quintet dropped only one contest on the home hardwood. Glancing further over the record book one finds some very enjoyable reading. Our Rabs dumped the eventual state champs, Freeport, in a frenzied affair which found the Hilltoppers coming through with a two point victory. At it again the next week, the Laudemen ran rough shod over West Aurora's hapless Blackhawks to the tune of 87-55. During the process two Big Eight records were broken-most points scored by a winning team 87, most points scored by one player-Howie Weyburg-with 40. The Elgin jinx was snapped this year as our lads out-rebounded the husky Maroons and squeaked by with a two point win. Further honors were gained for East at the end of the year. Rog Coffman, probably one of the states most finely skilled rebounders, and Howie Weyburg were placed on the Big Eight All-Star squad. Coffman's re- bounding provided the difference in many of the Rabs' close games. Weyburg was also placed on the second all-state team while Coffman was accorded honorable mention. Pictured above is the Rab cage team that compiled a 16-7 season record and a 6-4 Big Eight record. They are: TOP ROW: North, Mgr. Hensley, Upstone, Piske, W. Johnson, Bessert, Arvidson, R.

Here Bob picks up a post block from junior forward Bruce Lantow C451 Bob continually set up other team members for easy baskets, besides being a sharp defense player. The 1950-51 season was born in a spanking new gymnasium in Hinsdale High, west of Chi- cago. Our tall Rabs managed to squeak by the local lads 47-44. The fast-breaking Hilltoppers rolled over Oregon the following week to the tune of 85-45, and disposed of Niles Township 62-46 before entering conference play. West Rockford's lanky Warriors and their ball control tactics humbled the Laudemen 47-34, pasting in their first Big Eight game of the year. Bouncing back from this licking, the tall Swedes journeyed to Joliet and slipped under the wire just ahead of the hot shooting Steelmen and their zone defense to squeeze out a two point victory 645-431 In the first game of the Holiday Tourna- ment our lads opposed a visitor from the southern part of the state and dumped the Collinsville mites 53-42. In the final game of the tournament Coach Laude's boys played one of their smart- est games of the year. Taking advantage of Decatur's every mistake, the cool Rabs topped them 65-56. Returning to conference play the next weekend, the up-and-coming Hilltoppers faced Free- port's mighty Pretzels, the state's No. 1 team. Playing an aggressive sharp ball game the Rabs stunned Freeport and local fans alike with a 47-45 upset of the Pretzels. Still at it the following week, the East side kids cremated West Aurora in a torrid shooting exhibition 87-55. The Rabs could do no wrong as they set two Big Eight records in this tilt. The next week the high-flying Hilltoppers were shot down by LaSalle-Peru and their deadeye Johnny Kocsielski to the tune of 60-51. Disaster threatened the next night, but by virtue of Bruce Lantow's free throw the Rabs edged Belvidere's ball-controlling Bucs 29-28.

The Wisconsin rule permitting a team to decline free throws hurt the East siders. In their final home tilt of the year, and last conference game also, the Hilltoppers opposed LaSalle-Peru, a team that had subdued us previously. Playing one of their smartest and hottest games of the season the East side kids flew by the Cavaliers 70-53. Bob Holmquistls fine passing and play mak- ing was instrumental in this victory. The Rabs thus ended their conference play with six wins and four losses to notch fourth place in the race.

This 69-52 decision put the Laudemen in the championship game against Belvidere's Bucs. Both teams played cautiously at times and both speeded it up during this contest. Belvidere won the game in the last fifteen seconds as Paul Tamanauskas dropped in a free throw to give the Bucs a hard fought victory 45-44.

True to traditional East Rockford basketball fashion, this yearls fast, hard-driving Rablet contingent showed most of the other frosh-soph fives in northern Illinois just how the game should be played. Coach Harry Palmer's 1950-51 edition of the junior Rabs captured 13 ball games while dropping only seven during the entire season, grabbing six out of ten in conference play, and having a won-lost record of 1-1 in the Belvidere tourney, annual wind-up of the soph season. In three non-conference warm-up encounters which took the lid off the schedule, our bucket brigade downed Hinsdale 59-51, trounced Oregon 68-18, and squeezed past Niles Township 40-58 in an overtime battle. The following week Coach Palmer's speedy quintet hitting 44 per cent of the shots, opened Big Eight conference play by downing their cross-town rivals, West High. Next victim of the high flying Red and Black cagers was Joliet, who went down to defeat by a 51-43 score. In the next contest, however, a powerful Freeport five ended our victory string at five in a row, taking a 52-46 victory. The following week, however, our boys got back on the win road as they went past West Aurora 45-57. With Lou Amsberg netting 21 points, a rangy LaSalle-Peru outfit, conference champs this season, swept past the Rablets 57-47. Sweet revenge was tasted by our cagers the following night as they eked out a 42-41 decision over the Belvidere bucketeers. fopho Pefafzefz, flat at Rewind Cififzj iicw-e I 3-7 Reco-'wi This year's sophomore team included: BACK ROW: Dixson, C.

The highlight of the meet was the establishment of new state records in the 150-yard medley relay and by john Hoaglund in the 100-yard back- stroke for the second consecutive year. Other places taken by East in the state meet were by Jim Wisocki and Dick Seeberg, second and fourth, respectively, in the 50-yard freestyle, Jim Samorian, fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke, Stan Mattson, third in the 150-yard individual medley, and the 200-yard freestyle relay composed of Arvid Bloom, Keith Reidesel, Dick Seeberg, and Ed Kiltz, who captured third place. ' Other highlights of the season were two defeats of West Rockford at the hands of the Rabs, the first on December 21 by a 40-55 margin and the second on February 15 by a 58-57 margin. One of the most thrilling victories of the swimming season came with the dunking of the powerful Evanston team which was reputed to be one of the strongest teams in the state. East won every event except the diving, 100-yard breasrstroke, and the 200-yard freestyle, which gave the Rabs a comfortable lead going into the last relays. On january 15, the Rabs took second place to New Trier in the annual triangular meet between East, West, and New Trier. The New Trier swimmers racked up a total of 44 points to East's 35 and West's 19 points.

Baate iiapw Un Htwiiin iiittefw With the team bolstered by nine returning lettermen, Baseball Coach Bill Aleks, is looking forward to a successful baseball sea- son. The returnees include two pitchers, two catchers, two inlielders, and three outfielders. They are Arnie Milligan and Pat Fleming, pitchers, Jerry Patterson and Dick Harris, catchers, Dave Kjell and Dick Otto, infielders, and Fred Zoeller, Bob Holmquist, and Don Strauss, outfielders. The combination that has seemed to play the best together in early season practice is sophomore Don Edwards at the initial sack, seniors Dave Kjell and Charlie Peterson as the keystone combination, and Dick Otto presiding over the hot corner. Roaming the outer pastures are Fred Zoeller in right, Bob Holmquist in center, and sophomore Dave Soter in left. On the mound, last year's number one pitcher Arnie Milligan should be a standout, backed by Pat Fleming, another boy who looked good last season and who can hit a long ball as well. Other mounds- men who have shown promise in spring training are junior Ralph Olson, possessor of a fine curve ball, sophomore Daryle Chipper Smith, and sophomore Dick Hoffman. Paul Upstone, the only lefty of the mound staff, looked impressive in early workouts. However, his hopes were dashed when he broke his arm. There is still some hope for his returning, as the doctor said that his arm should be out of the cast by May 1, and it is not his throwing arm which was hurt. Senior innelder Dick Otto CrightD observes Dave Kjell scooping up Last year the Rabsox had a 8 win-7 loss record. However, they a hard grounder 52 actually played better ball than the record indicates, as they lost four games by one run margins. This year Coach Aleks feels that the Hilltoppers have a good chance of going to the state finals as any crew that he has ever guided through a baseball season. As in the past, the Rabsox will face a long, tough schedule. It includes two games with West Rockford, a pair with Aquin of Freeport and St. Thomas, two with an always tough Belvidere nine, and a day-night double-header with Madison East in the afternoon, Madison West that same night, and then the state tournaments. Due to some very cold, damp weather, our Rabsox were forced to postpone their scheduled opener with Woodstock until April 29. They then traveled to Freeport for a battle with Aquin. Pat Fleming held the host team to two scattered hits, which enabled our boys to win 3-1. In the play-off of the postponed Woodstock battle, the Rabsox got only two hits, but got them at the right time and downed the flashy visitors 3-2. The victory was pulled out of the fire in the last of the seventh inning when we pushed across all of our three runs. On April 28, the first of the two contests with the West High Warriors was played, and our boys bit the dust to the tune of 5-4. Our boys dropped their second straight contest to the Belvidere Bucs the following Monday 8-7. On the next day the Rabsox bounced back from their double loss and took St. Thomas 3-1. We didn't fare too well at Madison in the double-header, however, bowing to both East and West Madison by the identical scores of 3-2.

The squad is bolstered by holdover standouts from last season's Big Eight co-champs and District track championship squad. The Rab thinclads face their always rugged schedule with the intent of going places this year, and they have proved themselves in their opening meets. Featured in the dashes this year are: seniors Arvid Bloom and jim Benson, while Henry Brown, Jerry Martin, Ten Holloway, and Bill Blomberg are the underclassmen running beside them. Bloom and Benson have turned in some very line times in early practice sessions and the opening meets this spring should have their times down to championship level come Conference and District title time. Hopping the hurdles this year are Roger Keene, Dave Erickson, Royce Miller, jack Newman, and Perry Johnson. Keene, Erickson, and Newman were all on last year's team. This year will rind the Rab tracksters especially strong in the 440 where Bob Swenson, Dick Foerster, and Keith Riedesel Ace h Idler Roger Keen performs under the watchful are the speed merchants. Foerster is a speedy lad who last year placed in ll C eye of Coach Steve Polagkih the state meet in Georgia where he attended school.

Neil Hallen is the sole sturdy miler present now since Ralph Schnepper, letterwinner from last year, has been sidelined with an injury. High jumpers seeking the height of their ambition are jim Emerson and Dick Propp and sen- iors jerry Obermiller and Don Johnson. Obermiller and Propp along with Noel Carter and Bob Erb are the fellows earning points pole vaulting. Obermiller and Propp were steady point getters last season and have shown marked improvement thus far over last season. Broad jumpers Henry Brown, Don Nel- son, and Dick Foerester complete the roster of lads who jump at Coach Polaski's word. Flying discs? You bet there are. just ask Jim Benson, Gary Squier, Bill Pellant, and Nick Tabone. These boys heave that heavy platter known as the discus. Benson and Pellant are seniors while Squire and Tabone are junior and sophomore respectively. Topping the list among the other weight men, the shot-putters, is big Don Nelson. Backing him up in his specialty are Dave Lodin, Tabone Ripon and Horn. Coach Steve Polaski feels confident that the team should have one of its finest seasons though they must face Joliet, last yearls Big Eight co-champ, and our arch rivals from across the river, West High. These teams and East Aurora will pose the most serious threats to a spotless track record this season.

One of the returning lettermen is junior jack Lofgren, who is the only returning major letter Winner from last year. He teamed with jack Beckstrom to win the district doubles title. Chuck Blom- quist, a senior, is also a returnee as are minor lettermen from last year, jim Nelson, Bob Reum, seniors, and Barton Richardson, junior. Fellows who weren't able to pick up a letter last year, but who should prove valuable assets to the team are Jack Olson, senior, Dave Martenson, junior, John Ortberg, junior, and Don Mosser, senior. Two sophomores from whom great things are expected are Dale Bjurstrom, who teamed with jack to cop the Northern Illinois junior Doubles Title and to rate as the seventh junior doubles team in the nation, and Clayton Streib, a southpaw who shows a lot of ability. Senior lettermen Jack Olson stretches as he prepares to serve a hot one. Because of the abundance of lettermen this year the Rabs are rated as one of the powerhouses of this district and the Big Eight. Other Clubs to watch, however, are Dixon and Freeport, both well stocked with returning lettermen from last sea- son. The Palmermen were able to brush past the Pretzels twice, but were unable to defeat the Dixon Dukes last year. 56 This year's No. 1 man Jack Lofgren slams a serve over the net.

Topping the lisr of letter- men are junior Bill McNamara, jim Peterson and seniors Dick Lundgren and Howie Wey- burg. These boys will find the going rough against such perennially strong opposition as: Freeport, West Aurora, Elgin, Beloit and espe- cially West Rockford.

This team dropped the District championship to West High's finely balanced squad and will be out to square things this year. This year's conference chase will be conducted at West Aurorals long and tricky course. All in all these par-busters will have to go some to preserve the fine record of teams of several years ago.

Because of the overflow crowds for the last few years, the club members and Mr. Allen felt that an extra performance should be given so that every- one who wished would be able to attend. This year's show was i'Coney Island, and the festive theme was brought out in the various acts. The master of ceremonies, Jerry Patterson, acted as a barker on the Coney Island boardwalk and conducted an imaginary tour around the famous old New York playground. The high point of the show this year, as always, was the crowning of the Dolphin Queen and her attendants. Miss Lona Beck was chosen as the royal lady, with Darlene Granberg and Mary Condon in the runner-up positions. The queen was introduced by John Harris. Since the funds of the Dolphin Club go to support the swimming team, the third performance of the show this year helped to put many greatly appreciated dollars into the fund for new equipment next season. The officers for the organization this year who did a very fine job in coordinating club activities were Stan Mattson, president: John Hoaglund, vice-president, Jim Samorian, secretary: and Arvid Bloom, treasurer. 58 Butch Solomonson shows the Dolphin Show crowd some of the flner points of clown diving. ..... ,v,,.,,, W.,..W .W.W-i...W.fwi.fWM.,.m.-.map. ti... .. , V f V 1 L LL - .. , , .. ,,,L ,.,, ff- . . . , , .,. . n - .ifti'asa:Qxm5T3-w.QQ.fl-ittsgiqc...I...T, ,. , Q- g BACK ROW: Lodin, Propp, Emerson, Hallen, Lofgren, Keene, B.

Our letter men, besides upholding these fine ideals, also be- came a hard working organization during the winter and spring seasons. They guide spectators to their seats during Rab basket- ball games and have the same function when various profes- sional or special teams appear in the East High gym. During the school year the monogram winners hold fun nights for their members, during which the pool and gym facilities are put to good use. Besides this they have a huge picnic in the spring and hold a semi-formal dance around the middle of March. Club officers for the first semester were Pete Chabucos, presi- dent, Tom Hopp, vice-president, jerry Patterson, secretary: and Paul Maurici, treasurer. This year the club also held a Father-Son banquet to replace the usual initiation in the fall.

These girls showed great understanding of sportsmanship, cooperation. leadership, and the value of friendship. They all could have been found eagerly awaiting the May Sport's assembly in order that they might receive their third year state awards which only senior members can obtain. Besides membership in GAA the girls also were members in Dorado, the girls' swimming club, or in ISC, the branch of GAA that sponsors individual sports activities.

Beverly Mclnnes .b04:,eec!6-ali As the forward drxbbles down the field, she is met by the on coming opponents who capture the ball. Eventually, after regain- ing the ball, a perfect drop kick ends the controversy. Speedball was the GAA sport chosen over hockey and soccer as the annual fall sport this year. The game which features passing, kicking, and dribbling, scores its points in three ways: touchdowns, field goals, and drop kicks. The drop kick, which is the most difficult to perform, scores three points, while the remaining two score only two points each. The game is played in five minute quarters and compares with football in that, if the score is tied at the end of the regulation time, the game is not played off but remains a tie. The girls' hockey field is used for speedball since hockey and speedball require the same size fields. Each speedball team has eleven players with left wing, left, center, and right forwards, and right wing undertaking duties of the front line. Holding positions in the center line are the left, center, and right halfbacks, while the back line is composed of the right and left fullbacks. The remaining player is the most important member of the team. As goal- keeper, it is her duty to block, kick, or throw out of the end zone the ball before it can go through the goalposts. This sport is similar to basketball because in both five tech- nical, four personal, or a combination of five fouls, sends the player to the bench. This year twelve teams were entered in the competition with Ruth Ann Pojman's Great Danes cap- turing first place honors in the Hve-week tournament. The inter-class games were not played at the end of the season due to the bad weather conditions. Sophomore GAA members included: M.

Yea Sweet! Yea Peas! Yea! Yea! Sweet Peas! Such rousing send-offs can be heard as GAA volleyball teams line up and battle for victory. What actually goes on inside the gym when these games are played? To the innocent ob- server it looks simple enough. lt's just a matter of having captains sign up their teams and then playing the game. But wait a minute-letls take another look. Did you ever notice the way the captains seem to work up to a frenzy as they search the ever increasing crowd of players? Let's listen to one of them as she begins to sign up her team. Janet, play center forward. Nancy, play right back. Where's the rest of my team? June, have you seen any of the other kids? Never mind, here they come. Mar-play left back, Claudia, center back: Lou, left center . . And so it goes. Finally, the teams are lined up and ready to play. The whistle blows and the volleyball game is under- way. An overhancl serve leaves the opposing team in a state of topsy-turviness as they attempt to return it. Shouts of en- couragement ring through the gym as onlookers watch the progress of the game. That's not so hard. So you still have to be convinced. Let's watch the captain again as the game enters into the fourth quarter. Her hair seems to be thinner where she's been tearing at it, and her eyes have that fiery look in them. Come on kids. They're catching up. Good, jo, good. Keep it up. Use two hands-two-not one. Finally the end of the game. Both teams appear jubilant, and why not? Score-32-52. The captains look none the worse, save for wear and tear, and maybe an occasional bald spot.

Heading the GAAer's list of an all-around sport full of action, skillful playing and fun is the ever favorite game of basketball. Though the rules differ from those which the boys follow, girls' basketball is judged by the participant as one of the most exciting of the GAA sports. Screams, cheers, fast plays, and well-aimed shots all display to the spectator the thrill of the game. Plays are worked out by the individual teams and then prac- ticed for perfection as in the boys' game. Pivot shots, accurate passing, good guarding, and action contribute to the making of the winning team. Six players are used in this game with three forwards and three guards divided each on their own half of the court. Both the guards and forwards play a very specific part in the game, but entirely different from each other. The guards are placed The pictures at left and right illustrate the new girls' rule in which after the free throw shot is taken there is no rebounding but the ball is taken out of bounds. CENTER: Other than that the same battle against the opposing three forwards to match wits with them and to prevent them from shooting. When they intercept an opponents pass, or capture a rebound, they throw the ball to their own forwards at the other half of the floor who then proceed to do the shooting. Passing is especially important in girls' basketball because regular dribbling, as seen in the boys' game, is not allowed. The ball may be bounced twice while passing or moving the ball in the direction of the basket, and one bounce can be taken before shooting. Players committing either technical or personal fouls are penalized by the award of a free throw to the opposing team. It is the duty of the team captain to rate her players on their playing ability and sportsmanship at each game. From these ratings the class teams are selected and the sophomore, junior and senior teams play one another to prove to observers which class is outstanding in this sport.

Individual skill and teamwork, as well as the development of muscular coodination, are provided for in the outdoor exercise and activities of this sport. Regulation softball rules are followed, but the games are times instead of being played by innings.

Another club carnival, this year The Gay Nineties, was planned and worked up by the members and for the third year was a great success. The girls had a Girls' All-Sport Banquet in May to which the members of the club and their mothers were all invited. For the first time in many years, East Highs GAA played host to representatives from other schools for the annual play- day. The program included skits, squad sport contests, lunch, and swimming for all the guests.

In November, approximately 78 signed up for bowling, the most popular sport offered by the club. For those not interested in bowling, badminton and table tennis are also offered. When spring comes around ISCers take to the courts and links for tennis and golf. Those interested in tennis play four matches with any opponent and then a ladder tournament is staged. ISC boasts a membership of l25, At the first meeting of the year the girls decided in which sports they would participate and a sport-head was elected for each sport.

Chosen to participate in the annual Dolphin show, were 20 girls from the original 40 who tried out for the event. These East High mermaids were divided into two ballet groups which were headed by Justine johnson and Jean Elliott. Sandy Cryer, Marie Pankowski, Barb Didier, Nancee Clark, .Ianet Siebe, Skippy McKnight, Donna Anderson, and Mary Lou johnson composed Justine's ballet, Easy to Lovef' Jean Elliott's group, The Sophisticated Lady, included Kay Moore, Edith Roberts, Marilyn Hoaglund, Pat Ber- trand, Carol Middleton, Janet Stevenson, Joan Chris- tianson, and Elaine Strohman. Summertime, was a duet presented by Ginger Dahlquist and Karin Hedlin. To the girls who swim one mile during the course of the year an award of achievement is given. The all-girls' swimming meet, brought to a climax the activities of the year for the Doradoites. In this meet girls may enter the events in which they excell. This is likely to be one of the most popular activities of the club year. A dosmg to 8 year of fun, was the Dolphin Dorado Presiding over Dorado were: Lona Beck, treasurer, Ginger Dahlquist, secre- picnic Where the boys and girls got together for an tary, Charmaine Melin, vice-president, Miss Kathleen Lovett, adviser, and jean If f f I d Elliott, president.

The life of a cadet is varied, it ranges from cleaning rifles before an inspection to attending the Military Ball, from disassembling pistols to learning the operation of the 2.37 inch rocket launcher. Starting at the right and going counter-clockwise, a few of the many phases of the cadetls life are shown. Flashing sabers, smart uniforms, cli- maxed by the announcements of pro- motions, made this year's Cadets Ca- dence one of the most successful mili- tary balls in many years. The picture shows part of the grand march. Jerry Ness, John Germano, and Dick Hoffman will never get lost as long as they have their map and compass. Here they are shown orienting their map. Bradley Anderson demonstrates first aid on Leonard Anderson. This is part of a very extensive health course taken by all cadets. The Bazooka is always popular. Jim Beers, John Germano, and Robert Mc- Naughton are finding out how to work it. Experience is the best teacher, so Roger Carlson and john Gerbode let Don Knudson struggle with the BAR. The week before a rifle inspection always Ends a large number of cadets spending their free periods cleaning their rifies. Every nick, screwhead, and groove is given a good cleaning as the cadets exchange jokes and tall tales. This is part of the fun and work that makes the life of a cadet fun, interest- ing, and beneficial. BATTALION STAFF Major Tom Hopp Sponsor Priscilla johnson Batt. Adjutant Capt. john Hof Batt.

Leadership, respect for superiors, courtesy, and responsibility are the building blocks that go into any career, military or other wise. Everyday, the l76 cadets in the East High Reserve Ofhcers Training Corps build on these blocks which will lead them to become better men, better citizens, and if necessary, better soldiers. COMPANY A SECOND PLATOON First aid, good posture, personal cleanliness, and physical development, all as profitable in civilian life as in military life, are also stressed.

The reality of war and its results was brought closer to the ROTC cadets this year when Captain Fred Pickering was reported missing in action during a Korean battle. His keen sense of humor and ability in retaining his dignity but yet being one of the class made him tops with anyone who had ever been in his classes. Major Mitchell was appointed to fill Captain Pickering's post when he left East. Master Sergeants William Sherill and Tony Korman round out the staff of Military instructors. At the beginning of the year, sophomores are shown the marching movements and drilled until they become a smooth working outfit, then they join the juniors and seniors. Also during the first part of the year ROTC cadets act as ushers at the football games and help to prevent rowdyism.

First Semester Ollicers Lt. John Gerbode ALZZ .Zeam A natural sense of rhythm is as important in the ROTC Drill Team as it is in any band. This and a lot of hard work made this year's drill team one of the best seen at East. Sophomores and juniors under the command of Cadet Sergeant Don Karwelis were recruited into a sophomore-junior team to be taught the finer arts of marching. Later they were taken into the varsity team to replace vacancies due to promo- tions. juniors and sophomores made up the bulk of this year's team and did a fine job even though they were not as experienced. Many extra fancy movements are done to con- fuse the spectators. Perfect coordination and rapidity of movement cause the onlookers' heads to swim in wonderment. This year's commander was Lieutenant Leonard Anderson. Sergeants were Roger Carlson, Keith Bender, Dorian Bohne, Gary Atkins, Robert Reum, Warren Conner, George Burke, and Don Kar- welisg and Cadets, Roger Johnson, Stanley Bengt- son, Charles Carlson, Tom Johnson, Jerry Edwards, and Lee MacIntosh.

This year's team lacked a single senior, therefore all ten of the marksmen will be back next year, and four will be back the next two years. The rifle team is considerably better than its O-8 won-lost record indicates. Two matches were lost by only a couple of points and others were fired against such stalwarts as Marmion, Northwestern, and Saint Johns, all military academies with exceptionally good riflemen. An added attraction was the fine of 25 cents for each flyer Ca shot which misses the targetj ob- tained during a match. This fund was used for the annual rifle team party. Major letter winners were John Moors, team cap- tain, Clyde Aspling, and Keith Bender. Sgt. Sherrill was the coach and adviser of the team which prac- ticed after school and during free periods during the season. TOP ROW: J. Whitman, C. Aspling, J. Moors, J. Ger- bode, L. Fritsch, Sgt.

Please flood the back of East High for ice-skating, and fix the squeak in the cafeteria doorf' These were suggestions made by East High students, after a suggestion box, properly named Mr. Anthony, was placed in the library by the Student Council, in order to give students a chance to express and suggest ideas pertaining to their school. Another new addition to the Student Council projects was the sending of East Highlights, the school newspaper, to boys in the Armed Forces who attended East in the last two years. This idea was brought up in the fall, following the Korean crisis, during which time many high school boys entered the services. Also new this year was the checking of students' coats in the girls' gym during the home basketball games. The second Toys for Tots drive was held this year and proved, as before, to be a huge success. Given to underprivileged children, the toys were obtained after homeroom Christmas parties. Waging a drive against the bad treatment of books in the library, Student Council sponsored a poster contest to publicize and promote good care and handling of library books. This year, as in other years, the council has taken care of all sports and after-game parties. Hiring orchestras, selling tickets, and keeping a look-out for eager helpers to work at the parties are all duties of the committee members planning this entertainment. Constantly striving for good sportsmanship, the Sports- manship committee worked during the year through home- room representatives and by way of bulletins. A special publication put out by the council is the Sylla- bus which contains club activities, a calendar of events, a brief school history, the honor point system, Memorial Garden, and honors and awards. Among other projects which were carried on this year, as before, were the improvement of the Memorial Garden, assemblies and pep rallies supporting friendship with West High. The first afternoon pep session was arranged by the council this year. Student Council consists of a boy and girl from each homeroom, elected by the homeroom members. In the council itself the group is divided into numerous commit- tees, each assigned to its own special job.

In the way of foreign service, East High, under the direction of the council, sent a 150 pound gift chest filled with pens, pencils, and other school equipment to a school overseas. Health supplies, recreational equipment, and a Hrst aid kit were also included. The annual enrollment drive in March got off to a start with the assemblies presented by JRC members. Then each representative continued the membership drive in his homeroom. One representative is chosen from each homeroom to serve on the Red Cross council.

In some schools they are called hall guards or traffic students, but at East High, they're called monitors. While trying to get a little study in for themselves, these Mono Club members direct visitors, run errands for teachers, regulate hall lights, and keep an eye on wandering students who roam about the halls without yellow admits. Monitors during first, third, and seventh hours collect the attendance slips. One traveling monitor for each hour is appointed by Miss Winifred Ledger, club adviser, to check the attendance of the monitors. At the beginning of each semester, many students sign up for Mono duty. However, only a certain number are chosen. Students must have a C average in all subjects.

Miss Ruth White, sponsor for the National Honor chapter: Mr. Harry Muth, principal, the society president: and an outside visiting speaker are the speakers for the induction. A student must be in the llA, 12B, or l2A class and must rank in the upper third of his class scho- lastically. However, he must also meet the standards of leadership, service, and high character. Not more than five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the seniors can be admitted to this organiza- tion. Students as well as the faculty vote on the candidates. This year, the group collected scrap paper to raise money. As in other years, four members were chosen to make the NHS scholarship test.

' mthdaa IS! ' 20414 ARB Aatiwhiim The Admirers of Beautiful Literature, better known as ABL, furthers interest and understanding of drama and literature. One of the first important events of ABL is the initiation of new members. Juniors with A average and seniors with A and B averages in English are eligible for membership and receive invitations, which were in the form of books this year. In addition to a formal initiation, the new members dressed ridicu- lously in school and ate a potluck supper without silverware. Later on in the year came the traditional ABL semi-formal dance, which had the title Birthday Ball. The theme was carried out with a large birth- day cake in the center of the gym and corresponding decorations on the ceiling and walls. ABL usually has an outstanding speaker, which this year was Miss Helen Bartholomew, an exchange teacher from Scotland who recited poetry. The Christmas tea, held annually in the model apartment, featured Christmas songs and refreshments. First semester officers were Pauline Peterson, presi- dent, Kay Hedrick, vice-president, Janice Anderzon, secretary, Joanne Anderzon, treasurer, and Janet Vaughn and Anne Davis, social chairmen.

Many times students are confronted with this ques- tion as they wander around the library in search of a book. Asking such questions will be girls who be- long to Library Club. The duties of these club mem- bers are many, but the one enjoyed most of all is carrying library admits to the various study halls. They also work in the reserve room, check books in and out, and shellac and shelve the books. At the close of the school year, volunteers help take inventory of all the library books. Library Club is basically a service organization which strives to help students with their work. Dur- ing their free periods, students may come to the library to use the available reference material, such as encyclopedias, pamphlets, maps, and magazines. Some- times, whole classes use the library. At these times, the girls help in the reference room, obtaining the nceded magazines. This year Ann Mowers was the club president. Elected vice-president was Mona Larson, secretary, Doris Bushman, treasurer, Benita Banks, and social chairman, Marilyn Peacock. Advisers for the club are Miss Eleanor Heuver and her assistant Miss Virginia Seaworth. Saab High QM-aie Cfoyw .face-nd Ln, lffafe Copping second honors in the state speech finals in April at Champaign climaxed East High's most success- ful debate season. The varsity team not only set a school record with 62 wins and I7 losses, but also was East's first squad to win the Augustana and Big Eight confer- ence tournaments and place in the state finals also. After the third round of debate in the state finals the Rabs were tied with New Trier of Winnetka for the state championship. Each school had a five-one record. The affirmative team faced New Trier's negative squad for the play-off round and the judges gave the decision to Winnetka. In order to go downstate, the team had to qualify in the sectionals at DeKalb State Teachers' College. They tied for third place and were eligible to advance to the finals, where they defeated Galesburg, Downers Grove, Du- Quoin, Petersburg, and Mattoon. The tournament at Augustana College in Rock Island is one of the largest invitational tourneys with about 25 high schools participating from Illinois. A second place trophy was won by the debate team at the first tourna- ment of the season at Lake Forest College. West Aurora was the destination of East and West High debaters for the Big Eight conference tournament in February. Other out-of-town trips were to Geneseo, Elgin, Gales- burg, and Waukegan. Money for these trips was ob- tained by checking coats at the home basketball games and selling car placards.

H This year marked the first change in the directorship of the East High band, as Mr. Gordon Bueschel replaced Mr. Allen Elm- quist, who has directed the band for the past 20 years, in leading the Rab musicians at frosty football games, exciting cage tilts, sport rallies, and in parades. In addition to these appearances at which snappy marches and popular swing tempos were predominant, the 102 band members also presented programs of a more serious nature at sacred concerts and assemblies. Trombonist Bill Pellant had the privilege of participating in the All-State band at the University of Illinois in November, where he occupied fourth chair in the group. The famous sacred concert was presented by the band this year at Zion Lutheran and Saint Johnls United Brethren churches. These performances contained classical and re- ligious music.

Have you ever noticed how eagerly every- one enters room 519 last hour? It's because the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. June Borner, is one of the outstanding extracur- ricular organizations in the school. The orchestra has had an array of talented musi- cians ever since Mr. Borner organized the first one at Central High in 1918. Under Mr. Borner's baton, the group plays everything from Jerome Kern to Johann Sebastian Bach. The calendar of public ap- pearances is well-rounded, with performances at the junior and senior class plays, operetta, commencement, Christmas program, and the annual spring concert. This concert is com- posed of the combined East and West High orchestras and was presented this year at East High on May 27. To become acquainted with the new orchestra members was the purpose of a tea in the fall. Some of Mr. Bornor's 'lkidsu were Janis Berglund, Barbara Nelson, Inga Holaine, Irene Ek, Joyce Wright, Janet Hammerstrand, Margie Hubbell, Joanne Clark, Elaine Siden, and Frances Golding. bo' ' bebainga BACK ROW: Janice Lindblom, Joyce DeCamp, Mr. June E.

FIRST ROW: Janis Berglund, Colleen Hallstrom, Margie Hubbell, Joanne Johnson, Dyvonne Guler. However, orchestra is not all work and no play. Besides laughing at Mr. Borner's end- less list of jokes, the orchestra takes time out from practice for a variety of social events, such as the annual tea, at which the sophomores become acquainted with the old M members, a winter picnic, and the costume dinner-dance, where seniors who participate in the organization for three years receive medals. Other awards are the emblem, which iP f is worn on the traditional white sweater, and a gold star for each year of service. First semester officers were: Canden Nel- son, president: Donald Lodin, vice-president, Janet Hammerstrand, secretary, Nancy Berg, treasurer, Margie Hubbell, Gilbert Cedar- holm, Audrey Kjell, librarians, and Miriam Klint, concert mistress.

In addition to being a solo choir, A Cappella joined in a mass chorus with many high school choirs. These sixty-one versatile songsters, directed by Mr. Linden Lundstrom, made many appearances during the year. Their annual concert in February high- lighted the list, but Sophomore Parents' Night, the Christmas program, operetta, concerts in various churches, National Honor assembly, and Commence- ment exercises also gave them opportunities to dis- play their musical talent. Luciaing on December 12, a hayride, a hard times party, and potluck supper were some of the social activities. jack Hoaglund, Ralph Stang, Lucille Pottinger, and Lona Beck took the roles of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively for the choir during the first semester. Mary Peterson and -Ioan Erickson took over as secretary and treasurer the second semester.

Twenty-one members made up the flrst choir now there are sixty-three. The name, Treble Clef, was chosen because it is an all-girl chorus. To give the girls a chance to sing in public and teach them the fundamentals of music Ciawcehid, Pwwided Hg, Judie C364 961124, is its purpose. Since working with the best in sacred and secular music gives them a taste for good music, songs from Bach and Waring are included in the girls' song list. Each year the choir plays an important part in the operetta and Christmas program. On January 21, the choir gave their third annual concert with proceeds going into the fund for the purchase of robes. Per- formances at churches, assemblies, and PTA's round out the year. For initiation the girls had to wear dark skirts and white blouses and sing the scale whenever the older members requested it.

The Swedish group of dances, which is done at most of their engagements, has a number that the boys enjoy, called the Dal Dance. At first, the men kick their legs over the girls, heads. The girls ignore them and do a waltz step past the boys. On the way back they whittle the boys back to size by winking at them. This is supposed to work, but immediately on returning, the girls are thrown in the air. This step is generally not appreciated, because some of the boys don't let the girls down, or else let them down too hard. Have you ever tried to click your heels in the air? This feat was accomplished by Dance group in the Czechoslovakian dances. The members received new costumes for these dances which included Walking at Nightf Wheat, Kalamajka, and Four Stepsi' dance. One of the highlights of the year was Dance group's Marcy Bloom comes out from an intricate tangle in one of the Folk Dancers' Swedish dances, Weave the Wadmalf' engagement at the Mendelssohn club. They also participated in an assembly, Sophomore Parents' Night, and meetings of various Rockford organi- zations. ABOVE: The camera stopped this step in a dance called the Ril.

Roper Corporation and Woodward Governor plants, fun nights, and induction of new members, the Junior Engineers and their adviser, Mr. Walter Boguski, traveled to the Janes- ville, Wisconsin, Chevrolet plant where they inspected the assembly line, the plant itself, and learned of the different types of engineering necessary in the production of automobiles. The major purpose of the Junior Engineering society is to develop a clearer understanding of the engineering field. To become eligible for membership, all boys must have taken a course in higher mathematics or industrial arts. They are then invited to join this organization. While the Roper plant was visited for the first time, the club revisited the Woodward Governor for the third time since obtaining its ofhcial charter in I943. The club was first founded by Mr. Robert Shumway in 1928 at the old Central High school, reorganized in 1938, and has been in existence since that time. Each fall an induction of new members into the society is conducted. This year was no exception as East High students saw the freshies,' clad in tee shirts and overalls, complete with pipe wrenches, bowing down before old members and reciting the purpose of the club. At the after school meeting, all members spent time becoming acquainted with each other and were told of the club's activities for the year. First semester officers included: Bob Huffman, presi- dent, Sture Bengtson, vice-president, jack Holmbeck, sec- retary, and Dean Anderson, treasurer. The second semester, Dean Anderson took over as president. 30.0. cmd CHR Cflufcd Cfo.m5in,e into- .becience 91110-Lbfldf Talks by students and teachers, as well as field trips, have been enjoyed by the mem- bers of the newly organized Science Club during the year.

If you think it's rather compli- cated in English, you had better not attempt the French version! Students who have had a semester or more of French can tell you it's not too easy. The reason they know is because of the experience in playing it at some of the monthly meetings of Le Cercle Francais. The entertainment for these meet- ings didn't end here, however. Bingo, spell- downs, and an occasional treasure hunt were also enjoyed-in French, of course. Since the purpose of the club is to aid pupils in speak- ing French fluently, these games are educa- tional as well as recreational.

Following the point of a compass to various control stations where red flags were found, they practiced the Swed- ish sport of orienteering, introduced to them by Mr. Bengt Wickstrom, a teacher from Sweden. Initiation preceded the event, and a picnic followed it. Another highlight of the year was Lucia Night, December I2, when the group had a party at the home of Wayne Blunck, followed by singing at many homes. Carolyn Carlson was chosen Lucia, and reigned over the annual Christmas smorgfisbord and party, with a crown of candles and a white robe.

Hanging from the ceiling was a gaily decorated piiata filled with small candies, which scat- tered about the room, when a blindfolded person hit the pinata with a stick. After a scramble for the candies, the members sang carols in Spanish. At another meeting, John Carlson showed movies, taken in Mexico, while the initiation provided excel- lent entertainment for the old members at one of the meetings. After dancing various Spanish dances, the initiates were given a meal consisting of cold hot tamales and diluted vinegar as a substitute for wine. This club strives to acquaint members with the Spanish speaking people. Conversational Spanish is used to help in the understanding of the language. Many members keep a correspondence with a South American or Spaniard, enabling them to actually know the people about whom they study. Meetings on the first Thursday of each month, are informal, as suggested by the club name Charlemos, meaning Let,s chat.

This bill would make it possible for each road in Illinois to be identified by a certain luminous color on the signs. At a pre- liminary meeting at Lake Forest to determine the presiding officers, Don Anderson was chosen Speaker of the House. Meetings, every other Tuesday night at the Y- Lodge under the direction of Mr. Howard Hansis, featured speakers, discussions, and movies. Dr. Brank Fulton, a former Chinese college professor, spoke at one meeting, while a joint panel discussion and dance were held with Y-Teen members at another gathering. At Christmas, Hi-Y members sold discount tickets for a Christmas tree sale. The triangular pin of Hi-Y stands for a sound body, mind, and spirit. Sportsmanship and good fel- lowship are stressed. The Rockford branch, which has members from both East and West High Schools, is a part of a world-wide organization. Warren Land- strom, John Hof, Hugh Johnson, Don Mosser were officers. joining with the Y-Teens, were Hi-Y members with a discussion on dating, girl-boy relationships, and youth problems.

Among the meetings this year, was a World Fel- lowship potluck supper with slides from Italy, shown by a foreign exchange student at Rockford College. Chocolate bars were collected and sent to other countries. A cosmetics demonstration was given one night, while closer to Christmas, the girls cheered the old folks at the farm home with caroling. During Christ- mas vacation, a dance Winter Wonderland was given by the group, with proceeds going to the Y- Teen conference fund. This Illinois conference is held each August, where problems and ideas are dis- cussed with girls all over the state.

Then pop into room 304, the clubroom, let work all year for Publi- cations, and you have PSPO, Publications Staff Photography Organization, to furnish the pictures for the school annual and newspaper. The club is open to anyone, experienced or otherwise, who would like to know more about photography and is willing to work. The club is divided into four parts, each entirely different from the other, and commanded by a different captain. Major Nordlof, front and center! Dick Nordlof is presi- dent of the club and presides over the meetings which are usually twice a month on Wednesdays in 501. Working under him is Don Lodin, the captain of the photographers. Practically every day there are pictures to be taken. Frances Golding directs the darkroom crew which is always busy developing the negatives, printing, and en-- larging them. The section that is usually overlooked is the sales and files company. These members are responsible for the scrap- book and the selling of pictures to students. The scrapbook is used for the purpose of finding a picture quickly. All the pictures are Put into this book, marked, and filed. The sales group keep the club either in or out of the red.. There are always new things to use to make work easier. A new contact printer was used last year which improved the quality of the print. The Strobo-light was added to take the place of flashbulbs. A Krypton filled tube flashes when a high electric current is sent throught it. A battery unit supplies the electricity. During the year, PSPO sponsored an exhibit of prize winning pictures and had a Halloween party. Pictures of couples were taken and sold by the club at the ROTC formal, ABL formal, Junior Mixer, and R-Club dance. A quick roll call of the ofhcers: Dick Nordlof, photo- graphic editor, Frances Golding, vice-president and dark- room manager, Don Lodin, chief photographer, Joyce Far- ris, secretary, and Ruth Lindskold, treasurer.

McIntosh Superintendent of Schools Mr. Harry C. Muth Principal Jidminiataatian Constantly on the alert for new ideas to improve the educational program is William R. McIntosh. Being the chief executive of the Rockford school system makes him directly responsible for the effici- ency of all departments and offices of the schools. He also makes sure that the condition of the schools is good and that they are being operated properly. Among the duties of Mr. Harry C. Muth are keep- ing the school in running order and maintaining a spirit of cooperation among both students and faculty members. He also has charge of planning and leading the assembly programs and directing all faculty meet- ings. His helpfulness to students and teachers has encouraged them to improve our school. This year of 1951 is filled with anxieties and uncertain- ties. The ever-present and always vocal prophets of doom wail ominously. But to believe that only disaster lies abroad is sheer pessimism. To be sure, we cannot see into the future. Only the event will teach us in its hour. But East High has given you some basic skills. Moreover, it has tried to give faith in yourself and faith in the value of ideals. The sun will continue to rise gloriously, the world will be beautiful. May you be strong and courageous and hopeful to live in it, to enjoy it, and to preserve it. Hazel E. Koch, Senior Adviser As millions of dollars are being poured into arms and weapons and our life is geared to war time, don't forget the importance of education. It is the most powerful agent in the world and is in the long View our first line of defense. Stay in school-read, study, think, and discuss with others the great issues of this day. Become informed and learn how to prevent war and act so that you can help bring the day when all boys and girls throughout the world are friends who work and live together in harmony, and grow and prosper in a world of peace. Ruth Ann White, Junior Adviser Little do sophomores realize how short their high school days are. At first, they are confused at the school's vastness, but very readily adjust themselves. They are proud to be- come a part of the school, to support its teams, to join the clubs, and take part in all school affairs. As adviser, I want to see them elect the subjects that will benefit them most. To help me there is a Kuder Preference Record which indi- cates interest rating in different occupational fields. Through this test and knowing the individuals themselves, I feel that I can help them get over one of the most important humps of their high school career-that of adjustment.

Miss Winifred Ledger Another year has rolled around and another senior class goes out from East High to take its place and shoulder its burden in this uncertain world. By your example you have said to the students still in school, We believe in the importance of education in building the foundation of our life. In this age, as never before, we must try to think clearly, to concentrate on the long view rather than immediate set backs, to work up to our capacity, and to find peace of mind amid confusion. May you feel that your education has helped you to do these things. Winifred M. Ledger, Dean of Girls Willianl Aleks, Ph.M. Social Studies Physical Education Dolphin Club Dian of Girls Mr. Harry W. Kroll Assistant Principal We are sending you out into a world in desperate need of men and women with courageous hearts who are unafraid to love the truth and to battle for human welfare and justice. What you have inherited at East High during the past three years will greatly enlarge your field of service in the future. For surely you will take something of this school as you depart, and I believe that what you take will be some- thing fine and good. There will be times when you will look back, and may the memories of the past bring cher- ished thoughts of things that are loved here. Your success will be assured as you measure it by your devotion to what- ever duties surround you. Harry W. Kroll, Assistant Principal Walter Boguski, Ph.M.
