EX LIBRIS Trrr 2: WHAT S.T.H.S. MEA As a student within the halls of S. T. H. S., I take pride in being able to say, “1 belong to the Sandwich Township High School.” l'he activities that go on within the school make it all that it is . . . the sports, football, basketball, track, and baseball—which inspire all the students, the joy of winning a game and even the sorrow when losing—make school enjoyable . . . the annual Junior-Senior Hunt when the juniors didn’t find the seniors and rewarded them with one of the many popular hayrides . . . the F.F.A. Barn Dance and its autumn decorations . . . the Harvest Hall and the turkey . . . the Christmas Formal Dance, and above all the May Prom with the king and queen and their courts . . . the Monday evening dancing classes, play practices, the speech contest, library during free periods, special assemblies, classes, G.A.A., music, Pep Club, French Club, news-staff, dropping in the office for yellow and pink slips . . . What fun after school dashing off to Latin Club candy sales and the Junior Class pop corn sales . . . NS TO A STUDENT turning out the Sandy Junior, P. E. classes, and visiting with the teachers or your chums in school and at the drug store after school over a coke . . . the laughter that drifts from within the “Red School House,” the smiles that greet you as you walk down the hall, the hubbub which sounds worse than the “Loop in Chicago . . . the lockers slamming, Pummy and his broom and Kate with his furnace room cluttered with books . . . Verna and Mrs. Jones working in the office, the teachers on hall duty . . . these make school. It all means one thing, that we have a wonderful school system, school board, faculty, and advisers . . . Whether you come up the walk to school in the summer, winter, or fall, the sight of that building brings back wonderful memories. These are the memories for the year nineteen hundred and forty-seven through forty-eight which will be portrayed in some way on the following pages, that will help you recall the happy school days in years to come.

The enthusiastic editor, Richard Holland, gave a short speech, urging that we plan a bigger and better book and have as our aim to get the yearbooks out before the closing of school. Articles were assigned and a deadline set. Salesmen began canvassing the student body for yearbook subscriptions in November. Reporters went to work thinking up clever ideas for articles and hurrying to meet the deadline. Photographers began snapping pictures and the seniors were allowed to skip classes to have their pictures taken. In the meantime the editors and business managers and their caj)able adviser, Miss (ireer, were planning dances and various ways of financing the yearbook. Recognition should be given Wayne Fitzpatrick, chairman of the Harvest Ball, and Chuck King, chairman of the Winter Wonderland Formal and their committees for their hard work in making these dances a success. Then came the job of typing the articles which meant hard work for the willing typists. Art editors made posters for the dances, and had fun mounting snapshots. Finally after all of these hours of hard work and planning, the book was ready to be sent to the publishers. All the students then were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their yearbook, and the staff was hoping that the Reflector would be the success they wanted it to be, a memory book for the students, reminding them of the good times they had back in Sandwich Township High School. 8 The 1948 Reflector Silling, left to rii lil—Darlene Schultz, Betty Leifheit, Helen Hanson, Dorothy Kessler.

STUDENT COUNCIL Following class elections the members selected for the student council met and elected Charles King, president. The student council has been an organization for many years, and it is under the capable direction of Mr. Haskin. The duties of this organization are to discuss problems of the student body and plan assembly programs. This year the student council, with the civics class sponsored the clothing drive. Fifty bags of clothing weighing twenty pounds per hag were collected and sent to the poor people in the mountains of Tennessee. This is one of the most important organizations in school as it gives the students a chance to voice their opinion in the administration of school affairs. Members of the student council are: Dorothy Kessler, Chuck King, seniors; Helen Hanson, Paul Mueller, juniors; Betty Leifheit, Dwight A. Klotz, sophomores ; Darlene Schultz, Arnold Christensen, freshmen.

SENIOR HONOR ROLL Sandwich Township High School offers many opportunities for the development of the character and j ersonality of its students through its various studies, clubs, its athletic program, and its literary and music contests. The introduction of a Senior Honor Roll into our year book is a new feature, which may be a surprise to even the seniors whose pictures will appear. We hope not only to honor these seniors, but to establish a goal toward which every student in high school may work. It was our purpose to include all of those who have achieved honor, in any organization which gives recognition. We can include only those honors achieved at the time this book went to press, and if any are omitted we are sorry. Judging from the number of seniors whose achievements have been listed here, we can form the conclusion that this class has made a real contribution to the life of Sandwich High School and for this will be well remembered. 20 TJur 1948 Reflector SENIOR CLASS HISTORY President.. ............................. Vice-President ............................. Secretary-T reasurcr ............................ Student Council Adviser........................-................. About thirteen years ago, forty-five boys and girls started one of their most important careers of life, the task of getting education. 1 hiring our first five years of school, the class was divided. The children who lived on the north sitle of town went to the W. W. Woodbury School and those living on the south side attended the A. R. Woodward School. We obtained our hasic education in the first to the fifth grades from teachers who were patient and willing to work with us. The two groups met in the fall of 1940 when we began fifth grade. After fifth and sixth grades had been completed, we returned to the W. W. Woodbury to complete our elementary training. The following fall we entered high school as green freshmen. Many of us can still remember walking up and down the halls in the hope of finding the right room. Soon we felt like full-fledged members of good old S.T.H.S. During the year the class participated in various activities that were open to us, including football, basketball, music, and debate. Our freshman year soon came to a close with many happy events behind us. e were guided through the year with the help of Richard Holland, as president and our class adviser. Mr. Davis. We started our sophomore year full of enthusiasm. Many of the hoys turned out for athletics. The girls joined many clubs. So in general we really became more active in school life. The sophomore girls served for the prom, the theme being Candyland. Everyone was dressed in stripes, so to speak. To end the year we all enjoyed a hay-ride. In this second year we chose Helen Cain as our president. Miss Greer was our class adviser. The third year we really settled down to work. Class elections were held with Astrid Olson as president and Miss Young as our class adviser. We were unsuccessful in finding the seniors in the junior-senior hunt at the first of the year and so we gave them a party, thus paying our penalty. On Noveni-l er we discovered our dramatic talent in the junior class when the play “Life of The Party” was presented under Miss Gillham’s direction. To raise money for the junior-senior prom we sponsored several dances which turned out very well ..................................Gordon Barker ..............................Wayne Fitzpatrick .............Floyd Derby ...Dorothy Kessler and Charles King ...............................Mr. L. G. Haskin giving us a good financial standing. The junior-senior prom was held on May 26th in honor of the '47 graduating seniors. The under-water theme of the prom was carried out very beautifully. It was said that it was one of the best proms held in the school throughout the years. T he gym was transformed into a beautiful vision when Dorothy Kessler and Chuck King were crowned King and Queen. This was the first year in the history of S. T. H. S. that a king was crowned. It was a very lovely sight and anyone who witnessed this prom will never forget it. The work and play that went into it will never be forgotten by the juniors. Speech contests were very important this year and a great many juniors took part in this activity. So this third year everything turned out for the best and it will remain happily in our memories. On September 8, 1947 we proudly took our places as “seniors,” a fact hard to believe. Gordon Barker was chosen as president, our adviser, being Mr. Haskin. Athletics were again prominent, with many seniors winning recognition in football, basketball, and track. Everyone enjoyed the hay-ride given us by the juniors. The main task of this year was to raise money for the annual, which was successfully accomplished. These two successful dances that the Reflector sponsored were “The Harvest Ball” and “Winter Wonderland.” The “Harvest Ball was during November and the decorations used the harvest theme and fall colors. A live turkey was given to Patricia Nelson, the person with the lucky number. The “Winter Wonderland” dance was given during Christmas vacation and a Christmas scene with a tree and a snowman was used. Two senior girls sang the song “Winter Wonderland” to bring out the effect. Time surely went fast. We were measured for caps and gowns. Soon the members of the class were guests of honor at the junior-senior banquet. Then we were wearing those caps and gowns. For many of us our school days are over and we look forward to the life ahead. Even though the class will sejwirate and go many ways, I am sure that we shall remember our high school experiences as being among the happiest of our whole lives. The 1948 Reflector 21 CLASS PROPHECY The class of “48” has a new invention to offer to school as their last will and testament.

The sophomore class of 1946-47 has given S. T. H. S. one of its finest classes due to its high athletic, musical, and scholastic records. Most all sophomore hoys were out for some sport and many of them participated in varsity games. Three hoys from the sophomore class were on the first team in football this year. They were Jim O’Neill. Ralph Cain, and Karl Rud. Other boys who participated in f x)tball games were: Charles Hough, Pete Abens, Duke Fanning, Ronnie Eva, Ed Stratton, Dwight A. Klotz, Dwaine Dannewitz, Lowell Phillips, Clyde Olson, Philip Wagner, Alan Dierzen, Charles Hilliard, and Boh Beck. Most of the boys mentioned above were on one of the two basketball squads along with Don Augustine, Bill Wright. Boh Fields, and Dwight M. Klotz.

The sophomore deleters that have been working with Mr. Davis this year are Betty Leifheit, Sylvia Dalton and Barbara Dreebin. Bob Fields is president of the I atin Club. Whether it is on the athletic field, or in the different organizations you will probably find a sophomore boy or girl taking j art.

Aboard it was a crew of fifty-eight members who seemed wide-eyed and curious, and maybe a little frightened. After a few days of sailing under the guidance of Admiral Davis and the other officers and teachers each member of the crew began to feel acquainted and able to perform his duties. Before long they met in Admiral Davis’ room and elected Robert Mueller as captain, Ronald Schultz, as assistant captain, and Mary Ann Reimann, as keeper of logs and of the ship’s funds. Darlene Schultz and Arnold Christensen were chosen as representatives to talk over nautical matters with sailors of other ships. The crew was represented in athletics, G.A.A., F.H.A., Sandscript, music, Latin Club and dehate. At the end of their voyage of work and fun they met aboard ship for a party which they all enjoyed. 28 The 1948 Reflector % % ATHLETICS First row Dean Iceland. Robert Grady. Ia om Gould. Ralph Cain.

FOOTBALL The Sandwich football s |ua l had one of its most successful seasons in modern S. T. H. S. history as they made history in several ways. They were the tirst football squad to play on the new held and they defeated piano in the opening game on the held. The major lettermen were: Cordon Murker : The center and captain of the team, called all offensive and defensive plays, was probably the best linebacker in the conference. Wayne Fitzpatrick: The left end and a fine pass-catcher, a good defensive man. kicked many of the points after touchdowns for the Indians. Doc Grady: Freshman left guard, promises to be one of the Indians’ brightest stars, hue offensive player. Fete Could: Left tackle, a good blocker, the heaviest man in the line and a stalwart on defense; played regular guard in '46. Henry Greenstreet: Regular right guard; although being one of the smallest men in the line was as rugged as any opponent and was never outplayed. Ray Weisenburger: Regular right tackle; although only weighing 155 lbs., Ray proved to be a mighty mite on defense as well as offense. Dean I.eland: The right end; another fine target for Cain’s passes, was one of the most dependable players on the team. Ralph Cain: The quarterback and ace passer, was also a good runner—proved this by making two touchdowns on punt returns. Karl Rud: Sophomore fullback; did all of the team’s punting. a field in which he excelled; a hard-driving back who was also fast. Jim O'Neil: Left halfback and team’s leading scorer—scored seven touchdowns in eight games; a dangerous man around ends and a good passer. Roy Beardsley: Right halfback; the most dangerous of all backs; is fast and drives hard—scored important touchdown in second Plano game. Chuck King: Senior fullback; a deadly broken-field runner although he was also a hard man to stop on line plunges; fourth year as regular. Arnie Christensen: Freshman halfhack who can pass, run, and block with any opponent. Rusty Phillips: Reserve left end; a fine pass-receiver, has two more seasons at S. T. H. S. A. J. Whitfield: Left end; one of the best defensive men on the team—a fine blocker. Charlie Hough: Sophomore center and guard; tackles and blocks hard, a good pass-defender. Bob Bowker: Rugged guard; played both guard on defense and right guard on offense. Floyd Derby: Right end; played mostly on defense, recovered several important fumbles for Sandwich. Bob Christensen: Junior guard and tackle; a small but determined lineman, a hard tackier. The minor letter winners were: R. Hupach. J. Jaffe, P. Abens, B. Hilliard. D. Fanning. R. Eva, E. Fcazcl, R. Colby, P. Wagner, K. Titzel, D. Dannewitz, C. Olson, E. Stratton. J. Detzler. and D. A. Klotz. The numeral winners were: B. Mueller, E. O’Neil. B. Colliflower, J. Dolder, R. Schultz. R. Wilhelm, R.

No lettermen were returning and only Iceland and Fitzpatrick had seen varsity experience. Despite this disadvantage the Indians were never outfought although they were frequently out-scored. After experimenting with the players during the opening games, Coach Molitiari's first ten consisted of: IVay tie Fitzpatrick: Ace center; a fine rebounder and probably the best play maker in the conference. Fitz maintained a nine point per game average over the course of the season. Dean Leland: Diminutive forward and lay-up-shot specialist. Dean averaged ten points per game while .dividing scoring honors with Fitz. Norm Shurson: Reserve center; also played forward. Combined with Fitz to give S.T.H.S. a good rebounding duo. Barney Mattson: Hard-driving reserve guard. Barney was an excellent man to set up Coach Molinari’s plays. Jim O'Neil : Sophomore guard. O'Neil is one of the most deadly long-shot artists ever to play for Sandwich, besides being a stellar ball handler. Ralph Cain: The other half of the sophomore guard combination at guard. Ralph was accurate on any shot plus being a fine defensive man. Rusty Phillips: One of the Indians’ most reliable reserves. Rusty had a five-point average for the time he played. Don Augustine: Augie was the team’s most versatile player —playing forward, guard and center. Ron Colby: One of the most promising freshmen ever to play for S.T.H.S. Ron is one of the few players to ever become a regular as a freshman. Arnie Christensen: Another fine freshman who helped the team considerably while picking up experience. The Junior Indians fared somewhat better than the varsity as they won half of their games.

Helen Cain Vice-President..................................................... Jennie Whitfield Secretary-Treasurer............................................................. Pat Ford The Pep Club had a bang-up exciting year during the sport season of '47 and '48. This success was due to the expert guidance of the club's adviser. Miss O’Conner, and to the leadership of the officers Helen Cain, Jennie Whitfield, and Pat Ford. On the floor at every game were the three jaunty cheerleaders chosen by the school—Mary Ann Ford, Dorothy Kessler, and Pat Ford. The spectators were given a surprise at the Plano game when the cheerleaders appeared with their new uniforms. They were ballerina, black skirts and white blouses with orange ties. Quite a change from their black corduroys!!! The girls were very competent leaders and helped the students give rousing support to the teams. At the football games ] ert, enthusiastic, orange and black-clad girls were found in the Pep Club stand, selling sweets, and hot and cold drinks. At the basketball games these “peppy” Pep Club members had a table at which many found refreshments. Every Tuesday afternoon the Pep Club held their regular meetings and decided on different things. such as skits for pep meetings and assignments to different jobs. ( n the day of each game all the Pep Club girls were seen in the club’s traditional costume, black corduroy slacks and orange blouses. Later in the year the club purchased new slacks with their hard-earned money which brightened the cheering section. Many meetings were outstanding in pep and originality. One of the most outstanding was just before the football game with Plainfield. Five girls came out on the gym floor. The first girl had a pitchfork with hay on it, the second had a pail of sand and the next girl was dressed in a Witch’s costume. The fourth girl had a large beet; the fifth had a plane in her hand and as the final touch, the sixth girl brought out Robert Field from the audience. There arose a mighty cheer from the crowd, “Hey, Sandwich, beat Plainfield!’’ The club published little orange booklets to help both the public and the school. This helpful book contained all the cheers, a list of the sportsmanship codes, and the words to our school song. The Pep Club had a fine active year, a pattern for future clubs. 36 The 1948 Reflector Sports at S. T. H. S Row I 1. Our Golden Gloves Champion. 2.

A., which you all know means Girls' Athletic Association is, one of the most worthwhile organizations of the school. It represents good sportsmanship and co-operation between the girls of the school. It teaches them to work together and enables them to relax and play different games together. This year G. A. A. was fortunate to have very capable leaders. Astrid Olson proved to be a very efficient president with Helen Cain, as vice-president. Mary Casner had a hard job with lots of work to do as secretary. It isn’t very easy to keep all the points that every girl in G. A. A. has earned but Mary did and she did a grand job of it too. Inna Fitzpatrick served as treasurer and this by no means is an easy job. Miss Wesemann, the girls’ physical ed instructor, supervised the G. A. A. In September the freshmen followed a trail out to the forest preserve as part of their initiation. The evening ended with a weiner roast and group singing. All in all a very enjoyable time was had by everyone. The first six weeks were enjoyed playing baseball and archery. Then volleyball was played and after a few weeks of that, basketball was taken up. When it was permissible in the spring, baseball again was played outdoors. In January the G. A. A. sponsored a volleyball tournament between the following teams — “Jolly Volleys,” “The Three B’s,” “Strode’s Cyclones,” and the “Junior Indians.” This proved to be a lot of fun for the girls. The winning team was “The Three B’s,” and each girl on this team received a silver pin representing a volley ball. A banquet was held at the end of the year for G. A. A. members. Letters, numerals, and maps were given to the girls who had earned them. Letters were awarded to the girls according to the number of points they had won—the first year, numerals; the second year, a letter; third, a letter “I” for Illinois, and the fourth year, a map of Illinois. They obtain these points by keeping certain rules. Most of the girls will receive numerals or letters. Yes, this year the G. A. A. proved to be very successful. 38 The 1948 Reflectot Girls’ Sports Row I 1. O, My aching hack. 2. (ice, this net’s a mess. 3. Guard her, Mary Ann. Row II 1. Jolly Volleys. 2. The 3 B’s. Row III 1.

SANDSCRIPT Every Monday morning there are always quite a few empty chairs in assembly. After a short while the ones who are to fill the chairs come filing in. The tardy members are, as everyone knows, the members of Sandscript. The Sandscript this year again is under the capable leadership of Miss Mary Gillham. The three ambitious and very capable editors this year are Richard Holland. Astrid Olson, and Helen Cain. Mary Casmer is staff secretary. Each Monday morning the topics for the week are assigned. They are to be handed in on Thursday, then checked and sent to the typists. The articles are looked over again, sent to the office and then to the Free Press. There was a large staff this year and everyone enjoyed it even though it sometimes meant extra work. This year Sandy Junior celebrated his first birthday. His editors were Richard Holland, Astrid Olson, and Helen Cain. Miss Wesemann was the adviser. At the beginning of the year the editors promised a bigger and better Sandy and they kept their word. Suppose we look behind the scenes and see what happens before you get your neatly-printed copy. First the editor decides on the articles she or he wants. Then he calls a meeting of the Sandy Junior Staff. Here the articles are assigned to the members of the staff and he sets a deadline for them to be in. The articles when completed are handed to Miss Wesemann, who reads them and corrects any errors. Next they are given to Dolores Klotz, our hard working typist, who gives up many hours of her time to type the articles for Sandy. After this the sheets are mimeographed. If you would look in the office you could hear laughter and chatter—it is Sandy Junior going to press. A notice is passed around the next day saying that Sandy Junior will l e on sale at noon. You bring vour nickel and you can spend the rest of the day enjoying your Sandy. Besides being read by the majority of the students and faculty it is also sent to all former alumni so that they may read about what is happening in their old Alma Mater. Its purpose is to present the student’s own idea of high school life, its games, its dances, its classes—all the things that go to make high school what it is today. 42 TJic 1948 Reflector Silling, from left to right - Mary Casner, Jean Thorson, Astrid Olson, Dorothy Kessler.

LIBRARY STAFF The librarians for this year were Astrid Olson, Mary Casner, Jean Thorson, Martha Hanson, Dorothy Kessler, Dena Jaffe, Louise Humiston, and Jennie Whitfield. At the beginning of each year Miss Gillham chooses a library staff consisting of eight girls, one for each period of the day. The duties of these girls are—to sign out books, help keep the library in order, give information on reference work to the freshmen and sophomores, but you’d be surprised at the number of juniors and seniors that have to ask for help. It is also the duty of the librarians to recommend good books and make sure the library is kept quiet and in order (which is sometimes hard to do.) These girls did a good job and kept the library running smoothly and thus learned a little about library science for their own use. The 1948 Reflector 43 Sitting, left to right Barbara Swisher.

Bub Fields Secretary-Treasurer. This year, as in the preceding three years, the “Three V's” have continued under the very capable direction of Miss Susan Greer, Latin teacher. The Senate, or officers leading this year’s activities are: Pontifex Maximus (president), Boh Fields; Tribune (vice-president), Paul Mueller; Quaestor and Aedile (secretary and treasurer), Barbara Swisher. Our name, the “Three V’s,” is taken front Caesar’s famous words, ‘Veni, vidi, vici,” meaning “1 came, I saw, I conquered.” This is also our motto. Our insignia is the Vestal Virgin’s lamp, and our colors are Roman purple and white. The purpose for the organization of the Latin Club is “to gain a more thorough knowledge of Roman life, customs, and language, to understand better the practical and cultural value of Latin, and to interest our fellow-students therein.” Latin Club awards were given to last year’s club members for the highest amount of points earned by participation in club activities. The gold medals were awarded to Louise Humiston, Phyllis Baie, and Jean Mueller. Silver medals were awarded to Anita Meyer and Irma Fitzpatrick. Bronze medals went to Mary Ann Ford. Dorothy Riis, Janice Law, and Marion Lett. Any boy or girl taking first or second year I-atin is eligible for membership in the Latin Club. There are about nineteen members enrolled in the Latin Gub this year. The plebeians (first year students) were initiated by the patricians (second year stu- 44 Vice-President.............. Paul Mueller ...Barbara Swisher dents) early in the year. Thereafter, monthly meetings followed in which Latin plays and reports were given. This year for the first time since the organization of the Latin Club the members have been provided with a program handbook. This was made possible through the efforts of Bill Wright, Peter Crowell, and Bob Fields. On November 26, the Latin I and II students gave a play in assembly portraying a Roman and Greek basketball game (if they had had one). The pupils went through the motions of the game and the audience knew what was going on through the co-operation of the “CBS” announcer, Paul Mueller. Before the play started, James Detzler read President Truman's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation. He then re-read a paragraph omitting words that were Latin derivatives to show how meaningless our language would be without Latin. The Roman team was encouraged to victory by their cheerleaders, Betty Leifheit, Sylvia Dalton, and Ruth Sanderson—“Quis vin-vincet ? Qtiis vin-vincet? Qnis vin-vincet hoc?” Then these three girls, as the “III V’s, in closing, sang “We Gather Together” in Latin. The year was brought to a close for the I-atin Club on May 5, with the Roman Banquet where the motto was When in Rome, do as the Romans did.” That necessitated wearing the Roman toga, and slave tunics and eating Roman food with our fingers.

Secretary-T reasurer ......... Le Cercle Francais, through the untiring efforts of Miss (iillhant and a most able staff of officers, has just passed through a brilliant year of its existence. This year the club has realized its great purpose for which it was organized, namely to further the use of conversational French. The meetings although conducted in French, have been understood and enjoyed by all. The meetings were held once each month in the French room. At the first regular meeting of the year, election of officers was held. French games Edna Mae Schocner ...................Nancy Lou Ford were played and refreshments were served. A Thanksgiving party was held the twenty-fifth of November. Following the business, dinner was enjoyed in the home economics room. Thus, each month eleven boys and girls could look forward to a new and entertaining party. I know we will always remember the wonderful times we had together — the little turkeys for table decorations at Thanksgiving and the big Christmas party. We want to thank Miss Gillham for her help and hope that “Le Cercle Francais will be continued in the years to come.

Secretary-T reasurer.................... Future Homemakers of America is an organization in S. T. H. S. better known as the F. H. A. whose members are enrolled in home economics, or have been at some time. The motto of F. H. A. is “Toward New Horizons.” The club colors are red and white, and its flower is the red rose. Dues are fifty cents a year. It was necessary to have more money in the treasury so the year's activities included plans for making money. This year thirty-one girls were interested in joining the organization. They met the second Monday of each month to discuss old and new business. At the first meeting of the year officers were elected. Beverly Smith was chosen as president and proved to Ik a very capable person for the job. Mary Ann Morrisey acted as vice-president and helped keep things going. Anna Jornlin was elected for secretary and treasurer. Dar- Bcvcrly Smith .......................Mary Ann Morrisey ..............................Anna Jornlin lene Schultz as social chairman planned the year’s events and saw that we had some good times at all the social events. Beverly Denman was elected as reporter to write up F. II. A. news. Many social events were sponsored by F. H. A. throughout the year. In October a hayride gave each member and her friends a lot of fun and in November a tally pull turned out to be quite exciting. December brought a Christmas } arty with an initiation for all new members. There was the party with Somo-nauk’s F. H. A., a dance, a skating party, a pot luck banquet and, finally that last farewell party. F. H. A. had a new adviser this year. Her full name is Rita Belle Barnes from Illinois State Normal University. The members of the club really feel that this past year was a successful one. 46 The 1948 Reflector Tirst row, lejl lo right—Wendell Stahl, Thomas Hallstrom, Dwight M.

The F. F. A. is a national organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture in high school. The initials stand for the Future Farmers of America, the largest organization of farm boys in the United States. Our local charter dates back to 1929, but agriculture has been taught in our high school since 1919. The chapter has been quite active. I ast spring the class made a trip to Chicago where they went through the Swift and Company packing plant and the tractor branch of International Harvester. The chapter also sold seeds and bought a truck load of Sequoia seed potatoes which were sold to the farmers of the community. We were able to muster only enough boys from their summer duties to enter one team in the State Judging Contest at the University. The Fat Stock team composed of Bertil Mattson, Marilyn Hough and Milford Clausen as one of the ten highest teams in the preliminaries and returned later in the summer for the finals. They did not take first place but Tom Hallstrom Robert Reimann ...Milford Clausen Dwight M. Klotz ....Clarion Clausen ..Wendell Stahl rated a blue ribbon. LeRoy Fox entered the Dairy Judging Contest and Jack Smith entered the Poultry Contest as individuals. Both rated very high and were awarded blue ribbons. The class also hired a truck and attended the State Fair for two days. Among other activities during the year was the Barn Dance in the fall, which is an annual affair that is enjoyed bv the whole school. At Thanksgiving time a turkey raffle was held. The money raised during the year is used for many purposes, one being the purchasing of F. F. A. jackets or shirts for the members. This fall the chapter was honored by the election of Bertil Mattson, one of our outstanding members, as chairman of Section II. This will be a great advantage to him if he wishes to apply for the State Fanner Degree. Although the enrollment of farm boys in our high school is small, nevertheless our F. F. A. chapter does fine work and through its various activities its members gain much valuable experience. The 1948 Reflector 47 Sitting, from left to right—Sylvia Dalton, Richard Holland.

DEBATE The National Forensic League is an organization to which all high school dehate clubs belong. 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 each debate participated in, points are assigned according to winning, losing, or nondecision debates. Extra points are also given for various other types of speech work including radio speeches, community speeches, extemporaneous speeches, declamation and reading. 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—Blue Sapphire Key 100 credit points. Degree of Distinction—Ruby Key...200 credit points. “Resolved: The Federal Government should require arbitration of labor disputes in all ltasic American Industries” was chosen by the National Forensic league to be the debate topic for the school year 1947-1948. The teams were upheld on the affirmative by Sylvia Dalton and Richard Holland with Mary Casner and Gordon Barker upholding the negative. Also the second team consisted of Betty Leifheit and Fatty Hough on the affirmative with Mary Ann Ford and Barbara Dreebin on the negative. Under the capable and much appreciated guidance of Mr. Davis, the teams had a suc-ceessful season, having participated in tournaments at LaGrange, DeKalb, Normal, Elgin, Rockford, Rock Island, and Mendota. A freshman team was organized and several freshmen gained experience that will prove valuable during next year’s season. 48 The 1948 Reflector Top rou-. left to rif ht Jean Thur« n. Nancy Ford.

SENIOR PLAY The senior play chosen for this year is the very unusual “Night of January 16,” by Avn Rand. It is a courtroom scene portraying the trial of Karen Andre for the murder of her former employer, Byron Faulkner. The district attorney (Dick Holland) and the defense attorney ((Gordon Barker) have been aptly chosen to bring proof liefore the jury. Wayne Fitzpatrick. the judge, will keep the trial moving with dignity. Supporting them will be : Ray Yeisenl erger as Van Fleet, a private investigator: Lloyd Richardson, Mr. Whitfield, the father-in-law of the murdered man; Bertil Mattson, Janquist, the Swedish bookkeeper; Flovd Derby, Larry Regan, the gangster. The remaining men’s roles. Dr. Kirkland. Sweeney, the policeman, the bailiff, and the clerk of the court will be taken by A. J. Whitfield, Leon Gould, Lowell Anderson, and Ray Sherman. I'he women characters are: the prison matron; Karen Audre, the defendant: Mrs. Hutchins, the wife of a negro janitor; Nancy Lee Faulkner, the murdered man’s wife; Magda Swenson, a Swedeish housekeeper; Jane Chandler, a handwriting expert; Rolierta Van Rensselaer, a night club dancer; the district attorney’s secretary: the defense attorney’s secretary, and the court stenographer. I'he senior girls given these roles are: Helen Cain, Nancy Ford, Mary Casner, Dorothy Kessler, Marilyn Frances, Astrid Olson, Jean Thorson. Edna Mae Schoener, Dena Jaffe and Arlene Sherman. A different element will be shown in this play by having many of the witnesses seated in the audience and called up from there. Also, the jury being made up of people in the audience will leave the cast itself unaware of whether the verdict is “guilty” or “not guilty” until the end of the plav. At tlu time this article was written, the cast had been chosen, hut not all definitely given particular parts, and. of course, the play had not been presented, so we cannot say which member of the cast did best, nor can the names of the property crew be given, but judging from past performances, we can safely predict that the audience will go away proclaiming it another successful production to the credit of Miss Gillham and the senior class.

She did not know that this secretary was married nor that she was her mother’s old chum. Her scheming to right things finally brought the truth of the matter tumbling on her and caused her to promise to stop collecting autographs. The play was well presented and was enjoyed immensely by the enthusiastic audience. It would lx hard to say which member of the cast was the most well-liked. They all did a remarkable job. It looks as if the juniors have a flair for acting and we’re glad that we can look forward to seeing them again next year. 50 The 1948 Reflector l irsl tow, left to right Miss Gi Ilham.

CHORAL GROUPS AND BAND The choral groups, under the direction of Miss Gloria Moline, and the band, under the direction of William Jackman, combined their talents to present their first program on December 17, 1947. It was both Miss Moline’s and Mr. Jackman’s first year at S. T. II. S.—Mr. Jackman is the first full-time band director our school has had since 1944. The program was as follows: Hark, the Herald Angels Sing; Joy to the World Band, Chorus, Audience Good King Wenceles—Old French Carol.....Mixed Chorus Angels We Have Heard on High—Westminster Carol Mixed Quartet Birthday of a King—Neidlinger..Freshman Girls’ Chorus Catique de Noel—Adam..........................Dolores Klotz Carol of the Russian Children—Rehharne..Girls’ Chorus Bethlehem—Bowker, Stickles Donna Houghtby.

Everyone enjoyed thoroughly the numerous and delightful other assembly programs which individuals and groups gave throughout the school year. 'Fhe smaller groups taken from the mixed chorus are: mixed quartet, freshman girls’ chorus, girls’ chorus, trio, freshman boys’ quintet, triple trio, and the boys’ chorus plus a number of talented soloists! A new choral group just started this year was the a cappella choir—composed of selected members of the mixed chorus. Thus it is an honor to belong to this group, which will be distinguished from other choruses by new robes—we hope! The band concert for the year took place on April 20 when Mr. Jackman and his pupils, after much work and fun in preparing it—entertained the townspeople and students. The spring choral concert on May 4 under Miss Moline’s direction brought to a close a successful year in music. 52 The 1948 Reflector GIRLS’ CHOIUIS First row, left to right Rosalie Champlin.
