I I EX L Bfi S SANDWICH TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Sandwich. Illinois 6! So-UUeSi, tyine £(UdUe i! O! soldier, fine soldier, who went to the war. We want to be worthy your fighting for. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and cheer. We on the bleachers have nothing to fear— Or have we?” I ask. In the blackness of night. When the awful might Of our task Pulls at my heart. And I stagger with fright? O! soldier, fine soldier, who went to the war, What if we re not what you're fighting for? When you come home with eager eye. Will you see us and wonder why You slept in the mud And drank of the sea. And—that we might be free— Gave of your blood? This is the thought That frightens me. O! soldier, fine soldier, away to the war. You must find in us what you're fighting for. For a peace that lasts is not made with pen. But by the Love that exists in the hearts of men. O! bitter and deep Is the cup you drink— But we— We stay at home— And think— S. G. eAicxiiixut To the spirit of the men and women of this high school who have joined the service of our country, and to the memory of those who have paid the supreme sacrifice, we sincerely dedicate this Reflector of the year nineteen-hundred and forty-five. We pay high tribute to the heroic spirit of those who are living. Their courageous enthusiasm is for us a great inspiration. May we always be worthy of this country for which they are so bravely fighting. To those who have sacrificed their lives for all mankind, we take pride in saying that their spirit shall live on forever. Their courage is symbolic of the highest standards set forth in our democracy and we shall strive to uphold these principles. PS. ’45. 1945 Reflector fyosi uj riA Sometime in the future years, if this yearbook of ’44 and ’45 brings to someone pleasant memories of high school, we. the annual staff, will feel that our task has been accomplished and our work well rewarded. R. S. 45. 6 The 1945 Reflector SCHOOL BOARD Our Board of Education is staffed by men in various walks of life, thus bringing to its deliberations a wholesome and wise composite experience. I he Board meets in the office suite on the fourth Thursday of each calendar month, and we find coming together a doctor, a banker, a retail store proprietor, a coal dealer, a farmer, a technical employee of an electric industry and a dentist. President Ogilvie has appointed the standing committees of the Board of Education, with the thought of keeping in mind the interests and capabilities of its various members. All matters of general policy in the administration of the school system are decided by the Board at its regular and special meetings. The administration is held responsible for the working out of these policies. Dr. R. G. Dakin is the only member of the Board who was a member when our high school building was erected in 1921. During his tenure, the building bonds have all been retired and the finances of the district placed on a sound business basis. Our Board of Education has our fullest confidence, and our appreciation for a job well done. Silting—Mr. Haskin. Mr. Whitfield. Mr. Mclnnes. Mr. Wesson. Standing—Dr. Dakin. Mr. Colliflower. Mr. Brady. Dr. Ogilvie. OFFICE STAFF Mr. Haskin. who is the Superintendent of the Sandwich Public Schools, sees that everything is kept running smoothly. Mrs. Shultz is the school nurse who checks up to see if Johnny is sick, working, or sleeping. . Betty Hough keeps the office shipshape and decides who gets what color of absent slip. To these three, we students turn many times for help and information. The 1945 Reflector FACULTY MADELYNN ASHBAUCHER B.M.Ed. Northwestern University Public School Music GLENDON ARVIN. B E.

Sixth Grade Safety Patrol The safety patrol was started in 1935 to protect the school children at the three crossings on Highway 34. During this time, not one single accident has taken place in spite of the fact that most of the enrollment at the school crosses the highway several times a day. In addition to watching the crossings, the boys escort the kindergarten, first, and second grade boys and girls across the highway and railroad tracks when they are dismissed. To be a member of the safety patrol, he must give up his time before school, at noon, and a short time after school. This is often times not very easy, especially when others are playing baseball, basketball, or something else on the school ground. All the boys are gathered together and elect a captain and usually three lieutenants, depending on the number of boys. The three lieutenants then pick their squad, consisting of six boys each. The ones not chosen serve as substitutes in the absence of someone. Each squad rotates, taking a week’s time apiece. The captain is on duty all the time. Way back in 1939, seventeen proud boys with black and white belts representing the Sandwich Safety Patrol had their pictures taken. At the time this article was written, eight boys are still in school, three are in the service, three moved away, and three dropped out of school. The safety patrol has made an enviable record: so keep it up. boys! 10 The 1945 Reflector SENIORS HAROLD CO A K ES—' ‘ Raynard f ootball 2: Glee Club 2. 3; Mixed Chorus 2. 3. 4: Junior Play 3; Boys' Octet 3; Senior Play 4.

JUNIORS Under the able direction of Miss Holland, the juniors started eagerly into their busiest year in high school. With extraordinary instinct they found the seniors in the annual hunt, for which outstanding accomplishment they were awarded a party. The juniors sponsored a roller-skating party to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom. This event, the most important party of the season, was characterized by the same gaiety and good fellowship as of former years, even though many of the usual materials for making this party a success were not available. Palm trees and grass skirts were effectively employed to create a realistic Hawaiian atmosphere. Appreciation is extended to the Home Ec Department and waitresses for the delicious banquet served before the dance. The high point of the evening took place when the senior queen. Sherrilyn Kell, accompanied by her attendants, relinquished her throne to the newly-elected queen. Nancy Early, surrounded by her court of honor — Ula Wright, Janice Stratton. Colleen Rooney.

SOPHOMORES The wise young people you see in the above picture are full-fledged sophomores. As freshmen they buzzed through the year headed by Ruth Eade. Fred Herman, and Janet Miller as class officers, and Mr. Davis, as class advisor. They successfully gave a Sadie Hawkins Day party to which the boys were invited by the girls! After the Junior Mixer they became more sure of themselves and sped on their way to be sophomores. As sophomores they have accomplished another eventful year. A party was held in the Home Economics room. (No map was needed to find it this year.) The climax of the social events of the sophomore calendar was a Valentine Party held at the home of Norma Hupach. Games were played, and prizes were awarded to the lucky. Presents were exchanged by the Sophies , who had drawn names a few days before. I hey also sent their heart sisters and brothers gifts during the week. I wonder who sent me this. This question was running through their minds until Friday when the sender s name was revealed. As the old quotation goes: A good time was had by all. The class holds an accumulation of future farmers, music lovers, and just plain pupils. Norma Hupach. president. Ruth Eade. vice-president. Anna Mac St. C.lair. secretary and treasurer. and Miss Greer, advisor, acted as boosters to these wise sophomores. The I1) 4 5 Reflector 19 First roit —-Charles Kaufman. Donald Reynolds.

FRESHMAN CLASS Many unfamiliar youngsters slowly strolled around the halls of the school with a terrified look on their faces, that morning of August the twenty-eighth. It seemed as though most of them were short and small: but once in awhile you would spy a tall, lanky boy. The class, with their advisor. Mr. Davis, became fully acquainted with the rules and regulations. and you couldn't tell the difference between them and the sophomores and juniors at the end of the first semester. They elected the following class officers at the beginning of the year: President. Richard Holland: Vice-President. Dean Leland: Secretary and Treasurer. Floyd Derby. As Student Council representatives they chose Dorothy Kessler and A. J. Whitfield. Many of the boys showed their abilities as athletes, being very active in football and basketball. Wayne Fitzpatrick and Charles King won major letters in football, and other members earned minor letters and numerals in football. Others took active part in choral groups. G.A.A.. debate, the News staff, and various organizations. 20 The 194 5 Retlector First roa’—Edward Duvick. Donald Ropp. Leon Gould. Richard Cain. Charles King. Jerry Jaffe, Robert Scott.

Sandwich was defeated four times, but won twice. Elmer Benson. 205-pound fullback, and Chuck King were the two starters who were injured early in the season. The following seventeen boys won major letters: Bob Scott—Senior halfback and captain: one of the best there was in the league. ''Scooter'' was the chief-gun in the Sandwich attack and the throwing half of the Scott-to-Hutchinson combination. Pete Hutchinson—Senior end and the team’s Don Hutson,” one of the best ends in many years. Charles Walker-—-Another senior on the team who played fullback. What Charlie lacked in weight he made up in fight and determination. Franklin Barker—200-pound junior tackle—one of the finest in the conference. Fred Bowker—Junior halfback. This is Fred’s first year of football. Jerry Jaffe—Next year's football captain: versatile player who played quarterback, fullback. and guard: one of the finest guards in the league. Dick Cain—Another Cain earns his letter. Dick, taking up his brother's duties, played quarterback. Richard Fischer— Fish was an exceptionally fine defensive end and will be around next year to worry opposing runners. Chuck King—A freshman who made good with a bang. Chuck had a steady job at halfback until he was injured in the first Plano game. Richard Wagner—The other junior tackle. He alternated with Fitzpatrrick at the left tackle position. Howard Lundy—Hard charging senior left guard. Gene Whitfield—A surprise package in the form of a good guard. Warren Greenwood—One of the ten juniors who won letters. Greenie was a fine pass-catching end. Red Johnson—Fiery red-headed center. He will probably be playing for Uncle Sam next year. Leon Gould—Happy-go-lucky sophomore guard. With the experience acquired Leon should be very hard to run over next year. Wayne Fitzpatrick—A freshman who had the stuff to win a letter at the tackle shot. Ed Duvick—A reserve junior tackle who will see a lot of action next year. Fourteen of these boys, who won letters, are underclassmen who will help build the team of 45.” 22 The 194 5 Reflector First rou,'—Fredric Herman. Warren Greenwood. Robert Scott. Norman Flavin.

From there on Sandwich won six games and lost eighteen. The record doesn't show the ability of the team, however, since they defeated Waterman, 35 to 31. and Waterman took record place in the Little Ten Tournament. Sandwich defeated Yorkville. Mendota. Plano. Waterman. Serena, and Rollo, while losing to Newark. Plano, Earlville. Hinckly, Yorkville. Somonauk. De Kalb. Shabbona. Leland. Mooseheart. Paw Paw. Marmion. Morris and Ottawa. The first team squad consisted of Scott. Benson. Ropp, Flavin, Herman. W. Greenwood. Gran. Jaffe. Barker. Lewis and Duvick. Of those the five highest scorers were Scott (Captain), with 218 points. W. Greenwood 166 points. Herman 91. Lewis 75. and Ropp 50. Of the first team squad three were seniors, five were juniors and three were sophomores. This shows good prospects for next season. Lewis. Scott. Barker. W. Greenwood. Flavin. Herman. Ropp and Benson won major letters. Elmer Benson really showed the fighting spirit when he came out after recovering from his football injury and played enough in nine games to win his letter. 24 The 194 5 Refteclor First cow—Jean Mueller.

Phyllis Stratton, president. Lois Tuttle, vice-president, and Joyce Randall, secretary-treasurer, they carried on an organization which promotes interest in sports by making possible the winning of class numerals and school letters as awards for regular participation in games and observance of health rules. Early in the year the freshmen were initiated at a High Jinks party and the entire group had an indoor picnic and a hike to the Forest Preserve. The group closed the year with a Physical Education demonstration and a banquet at which the awards were presented. 2( The 194 5 Reflector Sitting-—Beverly Faber. Phyllis Stration.

With the three rah! rah! girls. Beverly Faber. Ula Wright, and Sherrilyn Kell, they stand behind each man to cheer him on. Many novel pep meetings were held before the football and basketball games. The annual Pow Wow was held before the Yorkville game. The Pep Club girls, as Indian maidens, did a war dance around the huge bonfire. Speakers from down town offered a few words to give the boys encouragement. A new idea was introduced this year. After the Pow Wow a wiener roast was held, which young and old enjoyed. With Miss Alice Ingegnosi as supervisor. Sherrilyn Kell, president. Phyllis Stratton, vice-president. and Joan Mueller, secretary-treasurer, they have had a very successful year.

The staff was organized a little late this year for it was at first believed that no annual could be published. But after the motion was put to a vote and the results obtained, a unanimous return of the Ayes gave the word for work to begin. The following staff members were elected, all of whom assisted in the seemingly endless errands and jobs which arose during the preparation of the Reflector, besides completing their own assigned articles: Editor-in-Chief Phyllis Stratton Assistant Editor-in-Chief Joyce Randall Business Manager Jerry Jaffe Assistant Business Manager Elmer Benson Literary Editor Bob Scott Assistant Literary Editor Nancy Early Typist Joyce Brand Assistant Typist Shirley Morel Humor Editor Beverly Faber Photographers Don Eldred and Joyce Randall Reporters—Nancy Obenhaus, Janet Miller. Nancy Ryder. Joan Mueller. Lois Tuttle. Pete Hutchinson. Sherrilyn Kell, and Jean Mueller. The staff is deeply grateful to Mr. Haskin for his interest and support, to Miss Ingegnosi for her lettering, and to Miss Greer, who supervised the planning of the Reflector, so that it would give those who read it a picture of the days which they have spent at Sandwich High School. 30 The 1945 Reflector Sitting—Robert Lewis.

CLUB The Home Economics Club can now chalk up one more year of success to its young life. The club, just having its third birthday, is now starting to grow and develop. This year brought forth better meetings, more enthusiastic members, and more fun than ever before. All this came about by the cooperation of the members. Miss Holland's needed help as adviser. Marilyn Breuer. as enthusiastic president: Ruth Eade. as vice-president, and Yvonne Rumney. as capable secretary-treasurer. Home Ec. Club Camp at East Bay will never be forgotten by the two delegates chosen to go. The parties, skits, plays, and conventions won’t soon be forgotten either. Better homes, happier high school gals, and a better life were the aims gained in this year's club. “Hats off” to Miss Holland and Marilyn Breuer for the hard work and help to make the organization successful and here's luck for the next year—even better than this! .32 The 194 5 Reflector Sitting—Nancy Early.

SANDSCRIPT The Sandscripl grew and flourished under the capable direction of Miss Mary Gillham and the editing of Joyce Randall. Robert Montgomery, and Sherrilyn Kell, respectively. One of the chief aims of this year's paper was to make home and school life closer to the alumni in the armed forces. Through the paper new faculty members were introduced, jokes were exchanged, and school events were publicized. Meetings were held regularly on Monday mornings, at which time constructive criticisms were offered, assignments were given out and other business was taken care of. All in all. it proved to be quite a successful year. The 194 5 Reflector 33 First rou'—Louis Mueller. Charles Kaufman. Donald Burt. Roy Beardsley. A. J. Whitfield. Second rou'—Dorothy Kessler.

THE LATIN CLUB A new club has shown its face among the old—the Latin Club. Only those who take Latin have the privilege of joining. A name. “The Three V’s,“ was voted upon and selected. It stands for “Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimus. which is an adaptation from Caesar s famous words, and means “We came, we saw, we conquered ’ “The Three V s” made a good start with Louie Mueller, president: Helen Cain, vice-president; Le Roy Beardsley, treasurer: and Dorothy Kessler, secretary. Our meetings were held once a month in the Home Economics room at which Latin plays were given. Roman games were played, and refreshments were served. A dinner served in Roman style concluded the club’s activities for the year. 34 The 1945 Reflector First row—Allan Nelson. Marlin Behrens. Dewey Christopherson, Edward Duvick. Sterling Larson.

We are proud to say that we have about forty members this year, and since most of these are beginners, it promises well for the future of the organization. During the year the band has played at the annual Pow Wow and at several basketball games, and during the last semester presented the regular spring concert. 36 The 194 5 Reflector Mixed Thorn f irst row—Shirley Smilh.

The musical year started with the traditional Thanksgiving Concert. The auditorium was quietly alighted with candles. The chorus marched onto the stage to the strains of “Come Ye I hankful People Come and stood while Ula Wright sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” by Malotte. In the snowy months of winter the choruses presented their Winter Concert—jolly, rollicking songs with a hint of the spring yet to come. The Spring Concert, the last of the season, just couldn’t help having a few riotous songs signifying the summer vacation coming up. It was definitely a successful year which was enjoyed by everyone.

Sandwich ranks tenth in seniority of membership in the state of Illinois. The cost of membership is $2.00 per student, which entitles him to all the benefits of this organization for life. For the first debate of the year, each debater receives five credit points for a losing debate, six points for a non-decision debate, and ten points for a winning debate. From the foregoing, one point is deducted for each debate in which the participant engages during the same school year. However, each debater receives at least two points for a winning debate, and one point for any other debate. Extra points are given for radio speeches, community speeches, speeches within school, and original declamations. Awards that may be won are as follows: Membership—Plain Key Degree of Honor—Emerald Key Degree of Excellence—Blue Sapphire Key Degree of Distinction—Ruby Key and five community service speeches RESOLVED: That the legal voting age should be reduced to the age of 18. was chosen by the National Forensic League to be the debate topic for the school year 1944-1945. The team. Phyllis Stratton and Robert Montgomery (Duane Johnson, alternate) on the affirmative. Frank Barker and Jerry Jaffe on the negative (Gene Whitfield, alternate). found this question to be a very informative and interesting one. Under the very capable and much appreciated guidance of Mr. Davis, the team had a successful season, having participated in tournaments at Rock Island. LaSalle Peru. Mendota. Elgin, and the District Tournament. The Junior debaters participated in tournaments at Rockford and Aurora. The experience they gain this year will prove to be very valuable in future debating. 40 20 Credit Points 50 Credit Points 100 Credit Points 1 50 Credit Points The 194 5 Reflector SENIOR PLAY “Feathers in a Gale” Stage Manager Business Manager Prompter Matilda Phinney Phoebe Fuller Zeb Hibbet Lucy Abner Annabelle Hallock Captain Ebenezer Rev.

Harold Coakes. Elmer Benson “Feathers in a Gale.” by Pauline Jamerson and Reginald Lawrence, is a colorful comedy of American life laid in the early 1800's. It is a lovely story of three widows—widows that had to marry or else be auctioned off at the vendue. Like three feathers in a brisk Cape Cod breeze, frivolous Annabelle. and her two friends shocked the prim neighborhood. For Annabelle set her cap for a handsome sea captain and her two friends aided and abetted her. This recent Broadway hit was presented by the Senior Class April 20, 1945. under the capable direction of Miss Mary Gillham. English teacher. The costumes and old-fashioned setting and properties added to the audience’s enjoyment. The 194 5 Reflector 41 JUNIOR PLAY “Jumpin’ Jupiter!” On the night of December 7, 1944, the Juniors revealed their dramatic ability by skillfully presenting the three-act play. Jumpin' Jupiter.” under the direction of Miss Mary Gillham. The play was a fast-moving comedy filled with cracks and laughable situations, mixed with the right amount of suspense to make it a very enjoyable evening for all who attended. The story revolved around the trouble of three girls, first, in trying to get a little money to pay the rent and buy some food, and then trying to get rid of what first seemed a lovely gift of too much money. There were many humorous sights, such as Nancy Early running around loose in striped pajamas. Betty Burson with her hair up in rags and clad in a long white night gown. Jerry Jaffe with that mushy look. Ula Wright with that starry gaze, and Red” Johnson in ladies' high-heeled shoes. These and other incidents contributed toward making the play a success by creating hearty laughs and suspense.

The 1945 Reflector 47 SANDWICHED IN— This poem, which was read by Miss Gill-ham on the memorable pep meeting before the big game with Somonauk, is one which we have included because we know many of you will want to always remember it. “Listen my children, you you shall hear Of the game tonight to close the year. To close the year on our own home floor And make us wish there were many more— The boys who play their final night Will play as always—just all right. We like the way they toss the ball. We're proud they're Sandwich Seniors all. “There’s Scott, the captain, clever fox. Who started the fad for Bobby Sox— It wasn't Sinatra, boys and girls. But Scotty who put the hearts in whirls. So tell your grandchildren the story straight. And also tell them that you weren’t late The final night that Bobby played On the Sandwich floor, and how he made Those 20 baskets with never a miss— And how you wished you could give him a kiss For everyone—but instead you cheered a lot Along with the others, and never forgot The lad with the cocky kindness—Scott! “Let's speak of Elmer—ah-—Benson to you. When he makes up his mind to do—he do! And he may put the crowd in a joyous roar. When he goes tumbling all over the floor. But his grin is one of the happy sights To remember later from basketball nights. And especially the night of the Somonauk game. He was staking himself a nifty claim When he dribbled the ball the length of the floor. And you all were shouting for more and more Of the Benson Boy who raised the score. Listen my children, and you shall hear We won't forget Lewis—or Robbie to you— Whose eyes, I think, are a shade of blue— Though I never got high enough to see— Still he’s a hero to you and me; And the night with Somonauk he was hot” With many an unforgettable shot. And 1 know we'll recall this handsome boy As one of the Five who brought us joy. “Then there is Christy—the little Ag guy. Who maybe is just a little shy. But not shy enough to avoid the mumps. Still he's the kind that can take the bumps! And not too shy to embrace the ball Or come up fighting from a fall. And to score a point or two or three. As you've watched him do with cheerful glee. And Christy will be remembered long When the rest of us have been given the gong. (And though today he's an absentee. He's an O. K. kid. you’ll all agree.) “Then. too. there's the senior president—Pete. Who's starred in many an athletic meet. That likeable kid and handsome, too— (Perhaps you’d like a rendezvous?) He dashes around in his smart red coupe And that ain't good—but he's made a scoop In the last three years when he’s hit the hoop. And you'll have a page in your memory book That's labeled 'Morris Hutchinson nook.’ And the last of the senior players is Chuck. Who left the noon league Whiz Kids stuck. And proved himself a loyal scout. Which is the reason without a doubt That on Friday night at the last home game The opposition he overcame. And gained the school's loud acclaim In making an accurate basketball aim: And it's not very hard for me to foretell That you'll miss the Walker who runs so well. So now you’ve heard the tale of tonight. The last home game of these players bright. You'll see these slick chicks get in the groove In a rugged fight that soon will prove How the Indians can put their foe in the shade By the type of the game that will be played. You'll see. when our fighting spirit is hurled. A victory that's simply out of this world. And the seniors who are playing their last home game. Will be posted forever in our hall of fame.” “SAND-WISHES” Health, haziness, and an early and laslinp peace! 4« The V 4 5 Reflee tor AUTOGRAPHS AUTOGRAPHS 50 The 1945 Reflector PATRONS A. and I’.
