Sandwich High School - Reflector Yearbook (Sandwich, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1944 volume:

y runm Foreword The Spirit of S. T. H. S.—a dash of humor, a sense of good fellowship, quiet courage, an unconquerable zest for life. It is this spirit that the Senior Class has sought to make alive throughout our Reflector. It is our contribution to a war-tom world in the hope that it may, in some small way, furnish a momentary escape from worry, sorrow, or care.

Perhaps you will and then perhaps you won't. This Reflector makes sure that you don't. Athletics s T U D L N T The student council, composed of two students from every class, is the advisory committee for the goings-on that take place in the high school. Under the guidance of Mr. Haskin, they plan such important things as The Freshmen initiation—mostly how far to go with it. Do you young people of the Sandwich High School want to have a social center? was the most interesting issue to come before the board. The answer of the council and student body was a unanimous Yes. E D U C A T I 0 N Swish—Swish goes Pummy's broom as he sweeps the dust deposits from beneath the feet of the late-goers from the building. Who Covered the Man Hole by It's Dark Down Here. It's just one of his favorite novels and as for reading, there isn't much time. At Christmas we see him dangling from the top of a ladder with red and green tinsel hanging from his limbs. And at Easter who lays the eggs? (Excuse please, wrong story). But all kidding aside we appreciate it. Swish—Swish goes another broom, only now its Kate. Or he may be hurling shovels full of coal at the furnace, dangling from the end of a lawn mower, or maybe even deep in a very educational book. We all know him by his marvelous memory or by his path across the lawn. 77? r. Masl in and Secretary Human is the word for L. G. , one of the most kindly and co-operative educators any high school has been fortunate enough to have as its leader. With the welfare of the students and teachers always at heart, he has once more led the school through a difficult year of changes with sympathetic understanding. This has made him A-l on our list of real people. Queen of the pink slips, blue slips, yellow slips—Betty Hough, office girl de luxe, hands out blue and yellow alike with a smile that melts even the most disgruntled student. As Mr. Haskin's Girl Friday she gets our vote for an E Award in Efficiency. r A c u L T Y Thomas R. Davis. L. G. Haskin. A.B., M.A. Ben Cade. B.S. A B .

Commerce Competent guides along a student's road to success, or failure, these honorable and dignified ladies and gentlemen of S.T.H.S. are definitely in the groove, when it comes to erudition or Harry James—a fact which has surprised many a slick chick who thinks a teacher is back in the Middle Ages when it comes to being hep to the jive. With a life-saving sense of humor, they take the mischievous, the dreamer, the bookworm, the schemer; and turn out in four years a group of responsible citizens. To wax eloquent in our language, they're solid senders, a group of smooth operators, strictly on the beam. Tflrs. Shults Nursing, there's a job! If you're home under the weather or just home and the phone rings it's Mrs. Shults, our school nurse, (truant officer) calling to inquire ill or . . . well? So watch your step. 5c hoo?

S. being of slightly sound mind and memory do make, publish, and declare this almost last will and testament, in manner and form as follows: I, Jack Cain, leave my position as captain on the football team to the Marrs boys—both of them. I, Betty Anderson, leave Ag. classes to Ruth Eade, long may she farm. I, Harold Mueller, leave my bashfulness to Dean Bagg. I, Agnes Jensen, leave our little red ford to someone in the Junior Class— Am I kidding? I, Lewis Shultz, leave that certain Junior girl to whomever wants her—for the moment at least. I, Shirley Ford, leave my tall stature to Irene Fitzpatrick. I, Maurice Worland, leave my way with the women to Everett Kinsel. I, Normal Stahl, leave my position as paper boy on Thursdays to someone with good legs (long may he run). I, Shirley Wahlgren, leave my job at John's to Doris Minnich—be sure and clean the back room. I, Joyce Keslinger, leave my scholastic attainment to Harold Coakes. I, Bruce Hough, leave my unmussed hair to Donald Eldred. I, Marvin Johnson, leave my wavy hair to Warren Greenwood. I, Lawrence Hanson, leave the girls in Spanish class to some fellow who can talk louder and faster than they. I, Evelyn Casner, leave my job at the News Stand to Deloise Schorsch. I, Jack Duvick, leave my crew cut to Gilbert Blankenship. I, Bea Cullispn, leave my ability to play Boogie-Woogie to Patty Larson. I, Mattie Bland, leave my red hair to Sherrilyn Kell. I, Dorothy Fischer, leave my job as typist for almost everyone, to some nimblefingered freshman. I, Jean Fanning, leave my straight forward attitude to Loretta Keenan. I, Norma Jean Herman, leave my blether in high school to win basketball games. I, John Kell, leave my back seat in study hall at noon to Bev. Faber and Kent Goldbranson. I, Paul Shefveland, leave my collection of feminine scalps to Hoiman . I, Stuart Phillips, leave my Reo to Betty Lobdell. I, Florence Marrs, leave my little shoes to Jerry Jaffe. I, Bernard Morris, leave my cornet to Bob (lippy) Scott. I, Maxine Datschefski, leave my side-line coaching to Miss Boyce. I, Dean Cortright, leave my collection of pennies to Dick Cain. I, George Gabriel, leave my ability in getting to Chemistry class late to Gene Hage. I, Ruth Sandoval, leave 150 W.P.M. letters to Nancy Ryder. In a changing world such as we live in. who can foretell what will happen three, five or ten years from now? Certainly not I. The following, then, is pure fantasy and pretension about that which will be happening to our class of '44 after we've left school and we're showing the world how to do it. Bea Cullison has a super job on a woman's magazine. She writes those sophisticated articles on what the glamour girl wears and what she should and shouldn't (but who doesn't?) do. Her weekly news broadcast to South America in Spanish telling the senoritas the same is fast becoming popular. The sponsor of Bea's program is a harderthan-nails businessman. He sells Helicopter gasoline and has amassed a neat fortune at only thirty-four. The Marvin Johnson Gasoline Company is doing well! Betty Anderson has found a position best suited to her abilities. She is the coach of the gym classes of an exclusive ladies' school in California. Her team won the Rose Bowl football game last year, the first women to attain such honor. The team wore purple jerseys with pleated pants and angelic round collars. Their accessories were bright pink. These outfits were designed by none other than Norma Jean Herman. Hoiman Models are sold in every unexclusive shop in Brooklyn. All her fortune goes for a philanthropic use, to keep a Home for Homeless Marines. Paul Shefveland was the first Marine-home-from-war to apply for admittance. He'd heard you didn’t have to do a thing all day if you didn't want to but he broke out when he discovered there was a league of pretty ex-U.S. Nurse Cadet Corps girls pestering a guy all the time. It seems a lot of patriotic S.T.H.S. girls had joined the U.S. Nurse Cadet Corp way back in war days. Now Mattie Bland, Dorothy Fischer, and Shirley Ford, back from war, are employed in Herman's Home for Homeless Marines. They buy all their groceries at Morris's Super Market, owned by Bernard Morris. The head clerk is none other than Maxine Datschefski who has graduated from the Royal Blue Store and is working in a city store now. Their groceries are strictly fresh. There's fresh beef from Jean Fanning's cattle ranch shipped in from Wyoming; fresh pork from Shirley Wahlgren's Pig Plantation in Somonauk; cultured asparagus ( every piece perfect ) from Stuart Phillip's Asparagus Acreage; and corn, great big golden ears, from Lewis Shultz's corn fields. Norman (Gub) Stahl raises specialized radishes on his farm and sells them at Morris's Super Market, too. It might look as if all our boys took to fanning, but there's still a lot who didn't. For instance, despite rumors to the contrary, Maurice (Moe) Worland is the new Ag.“ teacher back home at S.T.H.S. And it seems that more and more girls are taking up Ag. this year. Back to the city again we find that in every bookshop and library bright jacketed murder mystery novels , by George Gabriel are being read by everyone. Of course, every visitor to the city spends at least one night at the most popular night club there. The Wolves' Club. The owner, manager, and chief hostess is Evelyn Casner. In this same society cafe we find Dean Cortright who entertains nightly there doing practically anything. Just in case some wolf gets to howling too loud there’s a great big, brawny bouncer John Kell. He used to be a bouncing baby and now he's a bouncing brutes. In the downtown business section, Florence Marts and Ruth Sandoval have secretarial jobs. Flo works for a big executive formerly from Rollo, Illinois and seems to be enjoying her work a great deal. Ruth holds a position on a popular magazine as a secretary. Joyce Keslinger is teaching English in Johnstown, South Carolina, and trying to get the Southern belles to say dear instead of deah . In case you ever tune in on your television radio set be sure to get station W W W, Chicago, 7:30 for That Mueller Boy starring Harold Mueller. Twice as funny with television. The announcer on this program is Lawrence Hanson. He takes up ten minutes of That Mueller's Boy's time to loudly proclaim the praises cf perfumed cooking oil; So your kitchen will always smell like flowers and never like food. Oh, yes, we have another gym teacher in our class. Florence Selan spends all and every day in the gym at Chicago's South Side High School. Jack Cain is a hard, tough sports commentator. He broadcasts all the big baseball and football games and prize fights. He boxes himself and has some honors in the amateur rounds. Thelma Casner has a good job, cooking and cleaning and all the other tasks of housekeeping. We have to have one home body in the crowd! If you're strictly Park Avenue with a big bank account and an ache or pain you can get cured by Dr. Bruce Hough. Society patients only. His clientele can pay and do they have to pay! His snooty reception nurse is white-uniformed Agnes Jensen. To get past her bring your lawyer. A wonder in the operating room—cool, detached, efficient. Stopping off to see Jack Duvick at Niagara Falls, and we've completed the Senior Class of '44. Poor Jack! He isn't such a success I guess. He conducts sightseeing trips to art galleries, museums, libraries, etc., at Niagara Falls. He says business is terrible! Quite a class we turned out to be! Senior Class president. Marvin Johnson left us kiddies mid year to help out Uncle Sam. Lewis Schultz took over and proved to be a capable head nurse maid. Top Row: M. Johnson. N. Obenhaus. B. Koehler. Third Row: E. Casner.

Just picture it! The writers sitting around waiting for brainstorms, the typists rockin' those Royals, Margie Weber, our gifted cartoonist, decorating the pages with co-ed comics, the business staff thinking of new painless ways to extract moola from the local inhabitants, and the photographers singing Wait 'till the Sun Shines, Teacher, in answer to Miss Krauser's plea for pictures. Seriously, though, Edwin Eide deserves a big Thank you for his splendid help this year. Practically all those candid classroom scenes were snapped by Edwin. The first time students become annual-conscious is when Mr. Dayton comes to photograph them and school is practically a holiday; but every Friday, eighth hour, behind the commercial room door everything is definitely hush-hush, and get those articles in. We ve racked our brains and here's the result. 17lay 26—(graduation, cfhe end of a long and memorable journey. JUiead of us — the crossroads. Fourth Row: L. Wickens. M. Breuer. E. Benson. M. Weber.

Now that the Sophies know their way around and are used to the general run of things they're settled down to a normal life—that is if you can say that any sophomore is normal. They were definitely hep all year. With Jerry Jaffe as president, assisted by Kenneth Kessler and Toby Stoudt, they whizzed thru the year with English parties, dances, treasure hunts, and fancy jive sessions. But don't get the idea that these kids didn't work .... Thoughts circled around in their craniums at a dizzy rate. Dashing down the halls you could hear such shrieks as, Hey Ken, got your geometry done? Kin I see it? or Nancy, are you ready for your biology test? or perhaps they tracked down another scholar just to see if his work looked like hers was going to. Between them, they generally got an attractive grade. Thus ended the year with everyone happy.

The school looked like a great twining serpent with its maze of halls. They just got calmly situated and the initiation was dumped on them. Dresden doll or Peter Pan faces were changed into something weird and uncanny. Then came the Junior Mixer and everyone became acquainted with the Freshies and vice versa. This started the Frosh on a gay round of social functions, the main event being the Sadie Hawkins Day Party. Of course in between, fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be, came studies. They really weren't as bad as everyone said they would be. With Ruth Eade. president. Fred Herman, vice president, and Janet Miller as secretary, the year ran along very smoothly and you can't even tell a Freshman from a Junior. Can You? Lett to Right: Ruth Eade— President Fred Herman—Vice President Janet Miller - Secretary Seriously Freshman athletes The great profiles Myrt Tflusic What sounds! What noise! WHAT MUSIC!! The lovely, lilting strains of lullabies, the rolling, bounding tempo of marches has been the source of pleasant experience to all eighth hour study haliers. Every spare moment of every eighth hour was devoted to rehearsals. Time squeezed in between was given to the diligent practice of the extra groups. Shirley Ford has given enjoyment with her merry, brilliant, sometimes sad selections. The soft candle light and the quiet dignity of the Thanksgiving Vesper Service, the rousing songs and the patriotic spirit of the Winter Concert, the picturesque variety and the gay romance of the Senior Spring Concert were the results of the hard work of the fine choral groups and the enthusiastic instruction of Mrs. Poullette. The S. T. H. S. band under the leadership of Mr. Dummer, is made up of both grade and high school pupils. Their musical contributions pepped up appreciative audiences between halves at the basketball games this season. Top Row: J. Miller. B. Lobdell. M. Weber. N. Obenhaus. B. Hengosbach. D. Hanson.

T. H. S. Home Ec. Club, a practical fun fest that puts future homemakers on their toes through plays, movies, discussions, and parties that bring them up to date on all-around subjects. Especially memorable to members of Miss Holland's daily Home Ec. classes this year were the advanced class's trip to Chicago,—which consisted of looking at period furniture, going through revolving doors, waiting for Myrlene Reymann to do some shopping,—and the swank style show put on by all classes to let the girls burst forth in spring finery made with their own white (?) hands.

Somehow S. T. H. S. wouldn't be hep without the girls in orange and black. They've that certain something that gives a guy out there on the basketball floor or on a muddy football field the feeling that makes with the winners. Shirley Ford. Bea Cullison. and Bev Faber, three of the slickest chicks that ever led a cheer, were out there at every game. They Introduced some new and different yells to us this year. Many novel pep meetings, including a quiz show, home talent show, and a take-off on Hiawatha, were held during the year as well as the Pow-Pow with its Indian War dance. A winter carnival dance, with confetti, balloons, and a festive air financed the theatre party given for the football and basketball players. Miss MesenKop surely deserves long cheers for her grand leadership again this year. Cheers are in order, too. for Betty Anderson, president, and Agnes Jensen, secretary treasurer At the last basketball game the club's purpose was fulfilled and I think that: The Pep Club can chalk up another year Of pep and yells and many a good cheer, Of girls wearing orange and black—and fun. Remember Pep Club and the work it has done. Top Bow: K. Kessler. H. Lundy. W. Updike. M. Christopherson. G. Whitfield. S. Larson. Second Bow: M. Behrens. N. Stahl, G. Blankenship, B. Anderson. C.

The Future Farmers of America learning the best practical way to farm by the best method— book lamin' plus experience. In the above case it would be the animal lovers raising stock for a farm project. Under Mr. Eade's expert supervision this group sponsors one of the biggest annual events of the school year—The Barn Dance. A little something special this year were the boxes of candy the club sent to the S. T. H. S. alumni in the service at Christmas time, and the F. F. A. initiation! What need we say, except that it is one bang-up affair done up brown with all the trimmings. Anything the F. F. A. undertakes ends up a smash success, a fact which is attributed to their capacity for hard work and the capable leadership of Mr. Eade. Left to Right: P. Stratton. M. Johnson. Mr. Davis, D. Johnson. J. Jaile. F. Barker. Resolved: The U. S. Should Join in Reconstituting a League of Nations. Thus delved the S. T. H. S. debaters into an intensive year's study of a timely and very debatable subject under the able coaching of Mr. Davis. With Phyllis Stratton and Marvin Johnson upholding the affirmative, and Jerry Jaffe and Frank Barker representing the negative, the team completed an itinerary that put them at the top of the list of people who really get around. Take a gander: Elgin (twice). Mendota, Augustana College, East Aurora; and the Frosh-Soph debaters traveled to Rockford. But is wasn’t all work and no play for our serious (?) debaters. For instance, some scandalous sidelights of the Augustana College trip . . . Marvin Johnson flirting with a waitress ... a nocturnal prowl of the city, only to be met on their return by Mr. Davis in the lobby. That’s debatable Second How L. Wickens. C. Pop©. K. Goldbranson.

SANDWICH vs. YORKVILLE (at Yorkville) This game was the lirst game of the Indian schedule. Our defense was weak and the final score was 21 13. Curtis Sharp. Jack Cain, and Pete Hutchinson were the scoring men. SANDWICH vs. PLAINFIELD (Home) This marked tho first victory in two years for the Indians. We overpowered Plainfield in a 35 0 rout with Jack Cain the big scoring punch with three touchdowns and five extra points. Worland and Benson also scored. SANDWICH vs. PLANO (Yorkrille) Plano, enjoying one of the greatest years in its history, simply outran the Indians in a 28-12 victory. Johns and Wiley each scored two touchdowns for Plano, while Cain and Scott scored for Sandwich. SANDWICH vs. YORKVILLE (Home) The second victory of the season! This was a very exciting game and until the last minute of play it looked as if Yorkville might win 2-0 by virtue of a safety, when Hutchinson caught a pass from Scott for the only touchdown. Final score 6-2. SANDWICH vs PLAINFIELD (Plainfield) An inspired Plainfield eleven made it hot for Sandwich for the first quarter when they lead 6-0. but the Indians thundered back wi h Benson and Cain scoring. Worland scored in the third quarter. Final tally 21-6. SANDWICH vs. PLANO (Home) A championship team. Plano, defeated Sandwich 39-0. Plano took the kick o'f and marched down the field for a touchdown; from there on. they were never headed. Wiley and Fanning were high scorers. Prospects are good for a winning team next year with Captain-elect Scott and eight other lettermen returning. A split play Bead ,or aclion Top Row: Coaches Arvin and Poullette. Third Row: D. Johnson.

Kent Goldbranson, and Maurice Worland, the prospects looked very good. But from the start bad luck dogged the Indians who managed to win only three out of ten conference games. The bright spots of the season were the fine shooting of Kent Goldbranson and Maurice Worland who scored 205 and 140 points, respectively, during the season, including non-conference games. These two were ably supported by Morris Hutchinson, veteran center, who played a hard rebounding and defense game and scored 99 points with guards, Scott and Cain, who scored 77 and 59 points, respectively. The reserves fared better than the first team winning six and losing three conference games. With letter winners, Hutchinson, Scott, Bowker, and Barker coming back it looks pretty good for the future S. T. H. S. basketball team. r-'l C HrnTV 0)} 0o Top Row: A. Meyer . R. Eade, N. Early. L.

Weiners, with the necessary trimmings, satisfied the hungry appetites of the hikers. Volleyball, basketball, and baseball class tournaments were held with the senior girls winning first place honors. For the first time in the history of G.A.A. the girls took third place honors in the district basketball shooting contest held on March 14. Miss Boyce, our adviser, and the officers, Betty Anderson, president, Bea Cullison, vice-president, and Jean Fanning, secretary-treasurer, have contributed their efforts to make it a successful and enjoyable athletic year.
