Entering the first grade, it was found that this class was to be the largest class ever to go through the Sandwich Schools. An extra teacher was engaged, both at the North Side and South Side Schools. A union of the two classes in fourth grade caused rearrangements of seating in the A. E. Woodward school. Here the class remained until the completion of the sixth grade. The seventh and eighth grades were completed at the W. W. Woodbury school. While in the eighth grade, the highest scholars in the history class experienced an interesting trip to Springfield and old Salem. Then came graduation. It was the last evening exercise held at the high school for eighth graders; the American Legion awards were presented by Mr. Cain to Frances Poole and Dene Francis. In the fall of 1936, seventy-one freshmen wandered about in awe in the halls of S. T. H. S. Freshman classes had to be changed to avoid overcrowding. Many took part in extra-curricular activities. During their sophomore year quite a number of boys were out for football and basketball; girls were elected to Pep Club membership and served at the junior-senior prom. As juniors, the class took charge of the mixer and a junior dance. They accepted the challenge to find the seniors in the annual hunt, but failed. The class play, “Don’t Darken My Door,” was presented; and a number of juniors were principal characters in the operetta, “The Fire Prince.” “Gone With the Wind” was the theme of the junior-senior prom and Lucille Buland was elected May Queen. In 1940-41 the senior class issued a challenge for the hunt, and hid successfully. Many senior boys won major letters in athletics this past year. A dance; the play, “Hold Everything;” and the editing of an annual were among the activities undertaken by the class. On May 23 the seniors were guests of the junior class at the prom; June 8 all attended baccalaureate services; June 11 was class night; and after the picnic at Lake Geneva on Thursday the final graduation exercises were held on June 13.

I his year's junior class, consisting of 51 students, enjoyed a successful year under the able guidance of their class adviser, Miss Johnson, and their class officers: President, Hugh Hough; vice-president, Richard Martin; secretary-treasurer, Russell Swensen; student council members lone O'Neil and Peter White. The “junior mixer, which is to get everyone acquainted, was the first activity of the year. I he junior-senior hunt was also held with the usual result—seniors not being found. I he juniors then gave the seniors a party. On February 13, the class presented a three act comedy, entitled, “Everybody Works But Father. The cast of characters included: Stanley Werner, Russell Swenson, Elinore Russell, Richard Martin, lone O'Neil, Janet Ogilvie, John Montgomery, Shirley W alker, Doreen Wright Keith Tattersall, and Peter White. Elinore Russell, Bernice Peterson, and Shirley W alker were in the girls' sextet, and John Montgomery was in the boys’ octet. The junior class was also well represented in athletics by Stanley Werner, Keith Tattersall, Hugh Hough, Richard Martin, Danny Anderson, La Vern Grady, Lloyd Olson, Byford Allen, and Russell Swensen. The money that was earned by various dances and bake sales made possible a very successful prom which was the highlight of the year. JUNIORS Page fourteen SOPHOMORES For the year 1940-41, the sophomor class has been represented in many Helds. Four boys in the class—David Budd, James Allen, Donald Armstrong, and Donald Freeland, reported for football.

Five girls—Mary Jeannette Mueller, Charlotte Fields, Ruth Scent, FJeanor Klseman, and Betty Baie were chosen to take part in the activities of the Pep Club and four out of the five have gone out for cheer leading. Both boys and girls represent the class in Glee Club and Mixed Chorus. A few are writing articles for Newstaff. Jo Ann Potter and Kvelyn Schumaker are very ably supporting the varsity debate squad, and a number of boys are members of the junior debate squad. Miss MesenKop is the sophomore class adviser.

FOOTBALL Page nineteen BASKETBALL Seventeen boys reported to Coach Anderson to start the 1940-41 basketball season. Under a new system, the boys did well this year winning 13 games and losing 8. In the Little Ten Tournament the hoys won their first game from Hinckley, 29-26. The next game they lost to Karlville in a heartbreaking game—losing in the last 3 seconds after coming from behind—the final score was 28-27. Sandwich lost the first game in the Regional Tournament at Aurora to Batavia. The scoring this year was built around Schultz and Sedgwick who could score freely from any place on the hardwood. Larson was a man the team could not have done without because of his defense and rebound work. Cunz proved himself valuable to the team by breaking up plays and stealing the hall when Sandwich needed it. Hough was a hard worker and a vicious rebounder. In two of the best games the boys played this year, they lost to Karlville and to Waterman. The latter team was in the state semi-finals. Sandwich had won 6 games in a row and was trying to make it 7, hut Waterman won 21 to 19 in a game in which every member of the two teams played polished basketball. Next year there will he almost a full team of sophomores. By graduation the team loses Larson. Schultz, Cunz, and Sedgwick. FIRS!

The question for debate this year was: Resolved, that the powers of the Federal Government be increased. This question is of very broad scope, and it was difficult to debate. This year the squad was forced to have a completely new team at all the veterans of last year graduated. The members of the team were Evelyn Schumaker, Peter White and Edward Easter, who upheld the affirmative. Charles Marrs, Jo Ann Potter, and John Montgomery upheld the negative side of the question. Sandwich attended a number of practice tournaments during December and January and later participated in invitational tournaments. The team tied for third place in the Trade Winds Conference. Mr. Davis spent a great deal of time working with these people. SEATED- Charles Marrs, Jo Ann Potter, Mr Davis (coach), Evcyln Schumaker, Peter White.

I he Boys’ Glee Club of ’40- 41 found three outlets for their talents in this school year. The high light of the season was the Little Ten Music Festival. This year it was held at Waterman and the chorus number was the concert version of the opera “Faust.” The Christmas concert came forth with more fine music from the glee clubs and a spring concert was given to end the singing activities of the year for this gioup. One of the members, John Montgomery, attended the All-State Chorus at the University of Illinois. Some of the members of this group are also members of the mixed chorus, which took a major part in the music activities of the year. Both of these groups are under the leadership of Miss Brown.

In November, this group, along with the Boys’ Glee Club took part in the Little Ten M usic Festival at Waterman. The combined choruses, consisting of approximately 500 students from schools in the Little Ten, sang a concertized arrangement of the opera “Faust,” by Gounod. The Glee Clubs and the Mixed Chorus gave a Christmas concert, December 19, which received favorable comments from all who heard it. Some of these girls are members of the Mixed Chorus.
