7 9 4 6 REFLECT SANDWICH TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Sandwich, Illinois IF. WHEN YOUR HAIR IS WHITE AND YOU SIT BY THE FIRE WITH A BOWL OF POPCORN AND APPLES. THUMBING THROUGH THIS ANNUAL HELPS YOU RE-LIVE PLEASANT HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES. WE. THE REFLECTOR STAFF. FEEL THAT OUR PURPOSE HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. EX LIBRIS They were regular fellows; They asked nothing of life but the Right to be free: the right to live And love in the American way. And so. when the call came to Preserve our nation. T hey went without delay. They sacrificed their learning—their futures—their homes. And a noble six—who had but few years before Trod the halls of higher learning— Made the supreme sacrifice. They thought not of glory: they faced death unafraid: It was the Unknown: it was the Power which overcame others. It is to the memory of these six. And the countless others like them Who gave their all. that we humbly and thankfully Dedicate the yearbook for the year in which they. So sacrificially. won our peace. First row Reed Larson 'fa Donald Seliultz Second row Third row Austin knights -fa David Miller John Cortright William Schultz The 1946 Reflector 5 First row—Mr. Haskin, Mr. Whitfield. Mr. Mclnnes, Mr. Wesson. Back row—Dr. Dakin. Mr. Colliflower. Mr. Brady, Dr. Ogilvie. These eight men are the backbone of our school. To them fall all the finan- cial problems, as they make provisions for all school necessities. They employ the best in a faculty to assist Mr. Haskin in guiding us in our education. All these men have been members for a number of years. Dr. R. G. Dakin has been on the board since our school was built in 1921. ★ Mr. Lynn Haskin. better known to us as ’’L.G.,” has capably rendered his services here as superintendent and teacher for the past nineteen years. He helps us promote the same clean entertainment that has been carried on in our school for many years. With the welfare of students and teachers always at heart, he keeps our school going at an even tenor. This year we have had a new secretary, Verna Lee. We all appreciate her cheery voice and smile when we go into the office to get—well, a pink slip? Maybe blue or yellow! Mrs. Shults. the school nurse, checks up to see why you aren’t at school — whether you are enjoying yourself in Aurora, or are really sick. This is the office staff of Sandwich Township High School. Mr. Haskin Verna I.ee � r . V 'f r ? TO MRS. SHULTS It was with a feeling of deep regret that the entire school, community, and patrons learned that Mrs. Myrtle Shults. our School Health Director, had announced her intention to retire from active service of our school. I he immediate cause of this decision was the series of fractures and bruises sustained in a fall downstairs in the V. W. oodbury Building. For seventeen years Mrs. Shults has maintained her schedule of health examinations, inoculations, tests, and home visitations. The students know her definitely as their friend. 1 he parents have learned to lean upon her in solving the problems of their children as they relate to the school. Her associates have learned to love and respect her. Her deep personal interest in people as personalities has been the vital factor in her work. The endless round of routine failed to dampen her enthusiasm or obscure this interest. Your friends rejoice in the progress you have made in recovering your health, Mrs. Shults, and we welcome you back into our community life. The 1946 Reflector First Row LYNN G. HASKIN. A.B..

S. students and friends photographic and printed memories of this past year. The senior class elected Jerry Jaffe. editor-in-chief, and Dick Cain, business manager. Helen Kiley was appointed assistant editor, and Ed Duvick. assistant business manager. The staff was made intentionally large so that a representative from every organization could write the article about it. The other staff members were as follows: Literary Editors — Nancy Early. Nancy Obenhaus Sports—Warren Greenwood, Gene Whitfield Art—Jean Mueller. Bob Gran. Janice Stratton Photography—Don Eldred. Bruce Obenhaus Reporters: Seniors—Fred Bowker. Kenneth Kessler. Jack Helgren. Charlene Strode. Red Johnson. Ula Wright, Lois Reimann. Pat Rooney Juniors—Ruth Eade.

Arlene Sherman Freshman—Janice Bark Faculty Adviser—Miss Gillham Class Adviser—Mr. Haskin The typing was done by Miss Ingegnosi and her senior typing class. Some of the staff will remember burning a little midnight oil in order to get the article to the Nancys before Jerry's deadline hour: some will remember papers and pictures spread out in apparent confusion over the tables in the biology room: others will recall the difficulties of getting flashbulbs and trying to get a snap at a certain angle: for still others the planning and re-planning of the dummy will not be soon forgotten: all will remember the thrill of first opening The Reflector of 1946. 10 The 1946 Reflector CLASSES SENIORS BETTY ANTROBUS—“Jo G.A.A. 2.

The 1046 Reflector 15 Prophecy I had a crazy dream last night—all of a sudden Father Time” jumped ten years, and there 1 was sitting on a cloud—looking down at my pals! My. but they've changed. I saw Dick Cain in his huge office at the U. S. Steel Corporation Plant—His winning ways have prevented many strikes between labor and capital. I discovered Nancy Obenhaus in a big office! On the window it said Editor of the Wednesday Evening Post. Vivian O'Neill now wears two rings on her left hand. I saw her in a cozy little nest near Plano, waiting for her hubby to come home. Fred Bowker was sweeping the sidewalk in front of his Royal Blue Store. He now has a thriving business. Then I gazed out Hollywood way and whom should I meet but Warren (Swoon) Greenwood playing opposite Ula Wright They've now made six smash-hit musicals together. Ula informed me she was living with Betty Burson in her mansion. Betty is a successful movie star. too. A second Marjorie Main Betty Jo Antrobus broke the record at typing with 249 words per minute recently She's now working doggedly to tie Dorothy Gillis. who is typing 250 words. I found Nancy Early living in the head-house at Annapolis occupied by Admiral Barker. She's busy setting up her own kindergarten. Gene Whitfield is a forest ranger busy putting out fires by careless smokers. I found Dorothy Woodruff teaching uneducated gentlemen how to rhumba and jitterbug. Jack Hclgren has found the right girl, and is happily married! (Much to the surprise of everyone). Irene Fitzpatrick is the star of the Amazons —a girl's basketball team. She averager 25 points a game. Lois Reimann is a famous commercial artist and has her own studio in New York Kenny Kessler I found hunting in the depths of Africa. Recently he shot the world's largest elephant in the left eye. Duane Johnson has a chain of ice-cream parlors all over the United States. Helen Kiley is living on a prosperous little farm near Big Rock. On a beach in California whom should I see but Colleen Rooney. She's a model for the “Powers Agency” and universally known as Pin-up Pat.” When I saw Richard Wagner he was seated at the controls of his newly-invented Diesel-Engine. Jerry Jaffc is the capable president of the University of Illinois. He also saves a coach’s salary by taking over the job himself. They haven't lost a game in two sea sons. Ed Duvick is now known as Doc Du-vick —he experiments with white rabbits on his massive farm. Dean Larson, his neighbor, is doing well on a pheasant farm. During the pheasant season he and Red Jr. always catch their limit. I have heard Harold Brand and Dick Fischer have just completed drafting the plans for the new “bigger and better S. T. H. S.” Robert Gran is turning down mechanical jobs because he is setting up his own little helicopter factory. Charlene Strode is the capable manager of the “Strode Restaurants. Inc. I saw Nadine Miller giving one of her customers the newest kind of permanent (invented by herself). She is running a little Beauty Salon in Sandwich. Janice Stratton is doing well for herself as the U. S. President's confidential secretary. Wonder if my dreams will come true? 16 The 194 6 Retted or hrst row—Helen Foster. Anita Meyer.

JUNIORS Under the direction of their class adviser. Miss Doris Young, the 1946 Junior Class started the year off by sponsoring a very successful skating party. I hen came the Junior-Senior Hunt—they didn’t find the seniors. But they came right back with a big pencil sale and the junior play. After Christmas, the juniors gave the seniors their party, then put on a Washington’s Birthday Dance and the Carnival. May 17 was the lucky date for the gala event. The Prom.’’ This year we danced in Candy Land with music furnished by Herby Palmer s orchestra. Everything was mighty sweet. The main attraction at the Prom was when senior queen Nancy Early, accompanied by her attendants. Ula Wright. Janice Stratton. Vivian O’Neill, Helen Kiley, Colleen Rooney, and Betty Miller, relinquished her throne to the newly-crowned queen. The 1946 Reflector 17 First row—Jennie Whitfield. Gordon Barker. Dorothy Kessler.

SOPHOMORES The sophomores this year have not been in the limelight so very much, but all the same they have been doing active things. They were well represented in the school activities such as the various clubs and musical groups, with thirteen members on the Sandscript and several on the Reflector staff. The sophomores made fine records in football, basketball, and track. Charles King, Gordon Barker, Wayne Fitzpatrick, DuWayne Johnson, and Leon Gould won major letters in football. The sophomores intend to keep up and improve the fine records set by the juniors and will do all in their power to hold up the traditions of the Sandwich Township High School. 18 The 1946 Reflector First row — Doris Carr.

Several members with musical talent joined the high school choruses and band while others divided their interests among such activities as athletics, F. F.A., F. H. A., and the news staff. The freshmen members of the basketball squads were instrumental in the success of our team. The freshman class boasts 65 members, the largest class in S. T. H. S.

A tower of strength on defense. His aggressiveness on offense made him one of the outstanding linemen of the conference. BOWKER. FRED—Senior fullback: a fast, hard runner, and once he got going, he was a difficult man to bring down. He showed remarkable improvement as the season closed. CAIN. DICK—Senior halfback: light in weight, but heavy in determination and courage. Just give him the ball and a little light shoving through the line, and watch Dick go. FISCHER. DICK—Senior end; was a constant threat to the opposition with his end-around running and his pass snagging. On defense he was a thorn in the side to his opponents. GREENWOOD. WARREN—Senior end: a fast man down the field under punts. As an offensive end. he had sticky fingers, and proved to be valuable as a decoy in passing situations. JOHNSON. DUANE—Senior guard; Merchant Marines came first, but Sandwich had the last two games of the season, where he showed plenty of aggressiveness and willingness to win. WAGNER. DICK—Senior tackle: an easygoing. good-natured lad, but if opponents ever made the mistake of arousing Dick's ire. he could be a vicious tackier. WHI I FIELD, GENE—Senior guard: a keen student of the game, liked to play football, and could be counted on to play his best at all times under all circumstances. FLAVIN. NORMAN—Junior halfback and captain-elect for 1946. A boy with fine team spirit, a hard runner and a good defensive as well as offensive back, very versatile. HOUGH. LYNN—Junior tackle: a steady dependable lineman. With the experience gained this past year and his want to learn” spirit, Lynn should develop into a great tackle. PRIESMAN. RUSSELL—Junior halfback; a little boy who seldom failed to spill the ball carrier no matter what his size: as a defensive player his tackles were vicious. ROPP. DON—Junior halfback: a fast, hard-driving boy. Once in the open. Don is a hard boy to catch. This past year's experience should make him one of the outstanding backs. BARKER. GORDON—Sophomore guard-center: small but willing, ready and able is the picture of this watch charm lineman to spill the middle of the line.

BASKETBALL The 1945-46 basketball was a disappointment to the town as far as winning and losing games. The Indians won five games, four of these in conference battles (in the conference Sandwich was fifth) and lost a total of twenty games. S.T.H.S. scored 917 points for an average of 36.7 points per game. Sandwich opponents scored 1063 points for an average of 42.4 points per game. One of the major causes for the S.T.H.S. failure was their inability to hit at the free throw line. Out of 493 free throws. Sandwich only made 221 for 44% average, while the Indians' opponents chalked up free throws at a 53% pace. The majority of the scoring was done by the following: W. Greenwood, 238: Ropp. 219; Gran, 153; Flavin, 96; Herman. 64; Helgren. 46; Hanson, 33: Hough. 18: G. Greenwood, 37; and L. Mueller, 8. Lettermen this year were: W. Greenwood, Gran, Helgren. Ropp, Flavin. Hanson, G. Greenwood, Hough, Mueller, and Herman. Of the ten lettermen seven are juniors which looks bright for next year. 24 The 1946 Reflector TRACK For the first time in several years, last spring, S.T.H.S. had a track team.

The plan of organization and the purposes were explained to the boys present, who were all major S” winners at that time. Many helpful suggestions were offered and accepted. The officers elected were: Jerry Jaffe, president: Chuck King, vice-president: Gordon Barker, secretary: and Norman Flavin, treasurer. A committee of seven was appointed to write a constitution. The constitution states that all major S” winners from 1921 are eligible for membership and are subject to dues. The “S'- winners before this date are eligible for membership but are not subject to dues. The organization consists of the active “S” members in school, and a council or board of directors consisting of the elder “S’' men. The purposes, nature, and qualifications of officers are also stated in the constitution. The purpose of the “S” Club is to promote a higher appreciation of athletics, and to make the winning of a major letter signify honor and achievement. The 1946 Reflector 29 First row—Marilyn Francis.

SANDSCRIPT “Bigger an’ better than ever” was the motto of the 1945-46 Sandscnpi Staff. “Bigger an’ better” it was. Once in a while a roving reporter had to be hounded until he sat down and expounded on paper his assigned article, but for an extra-curricular activity, the paper was extremely well done. The year began with Nancy Early as first editor. Her pace was kept by Nancy Obenhaus. the second term editor-in-chief, and Jerry Jaffe as the third term chief. With Miss Gillham pulling in all the loose ends, the Sandsccipl was “bigger an’ better than ever.” 34 The 1946 Reflector From left to right—Vivian Mall. Gene Whitfield. Nancy Early. Mr. Davis.

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 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: Degree of Merit, Plain Key 20 credit points Degree of Honor, Emerald Key 50 credit points Degree of Excellence, Sapphire Key 100 credit points Degree of Distinction, Ruby Key 200 credit points The debate topic for the year 1945-1946 was Resolved, that every able-bodied male citizen between the ages 18-24 should have one year compulsory military training.” The varsity squad retained only one member from last year, Jerry Jaffe. Duane Johnson and Gene Whitfield, members of last year's Junior squad, and Nancy Early, a non-debater until this year, made up the senior team. 1 he team, with their capable and well-liked coach, Mr. Davis, attended many tournaments throughout the state of Illinois. The sophomore squad. Dena Jaffe and Vivian Mall on the affirmative, and Gordon Barker and Richard Holland on the negative, made vast strides in knowledge and experience this year. They will take over as the varsity squad next year with a lot of experience and training behind them. The 1946 Reflector 35 First row—Gene Whitfield. Helen Cain. Jerry Jaffe. F:rcd Bowker.

The 1946 Reflector 41 Speech Correction The department of speech correction was introduced into the Sandwich Schools last year for the purpose of aiding all children who are handicapped by defective speech. Sandwich is the first school in DeKalb County to take advantage of the state aid which makes this program possible. In working with the handicapped child, one of the first questions to be answered is—Can he hear? In order to answer that question we have obtained a Western Electric Pure Tone Audiometer which tests tones whose frequencies range by octaves from 64 d.v. to 8192 d.v. Those children who are found to have an average hearing loss of 10 or more decibels are given special aid through the cooperation of their parents and their class room teachers. Tests have found that many a child thought to be feeble minded is only deaf and with proper treatment can be turned into a happy normal child. Another interesting piece of equipment is the mirrophone which makes it possible for us to hear ourselves as others hear us. One minute recordings are made which may be played back again and again, but when another recording is made, the first is automatically erased. This is excellent for practice not only in speech correction but also in music, debate, and the teaching of foreign languages. Mrs. Beulah W. Swengel is the speech correctionist. She obtained her M.A. at the University of Illinois in Speech Correction and has worked in the Speech Clinic there. 42 The 194 6 Reflector Senior Play Seated — Colleen Rooney. Duane Johnson.

On April 26. 1946, the Seniors, under the capable direction of Miss Gillham. presented the Hungarian comedy. “Seven Sisters.” The story concerns a widow who is trying to find husbands for Katinka, Ella, and Sari, the oldest of her seven daughters. Mitzi. the fourth child, has fallen in love with Feri Horkoy. a dashing young lieutenant, but. because of an old custom, she can’t marry him until her three older sisters are married. She tells him her problem and he wagers that within a year he will see that each of her sisters has a husband. It is agreed that on the day of her third sister’s wedding he will receive three kisses. The plan goes into effect and many amusing incidents arise. Everything works out for the best though, and in the end Horkoy collects his reward.

The play concerned a small town family that was blessed with a set of twins— Connie and Gabby—who believed in sunshine and good cheer. The family, however, weren’t so sure that these two were much of a blessing. A mischievous pair, these two—they were the cause of their father being fired, of Norma being deprived of a Hollywood career and hooked by a millionaire, of making Leo roar like a lion and giving Glen and Vail Porter black eyes, but everyone came through smiling—except the twins who didn’t care about going to Hollywood —which was their ultimate fate. Mr. Arvin and his shop classes made new scenery for the play which was greatly appreciated. Miss Mary Gillham was the very skillful director of “The Sunshine Twins.
