Sandwich High School - Reflector Yearbook (Sandwich, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1955 volume:

THE 1955 REFLECTOR presented by the senior class of SANDWICH TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Sandwich, Illinois Editor-Patricia Casey Business Manager-Robert Kegel FOREWORD In the remarkable growth and development of television in the past few years can be seen the results of many painstaking hours, co-operation and efficient planning. Early this past school year the editorial staff were made most aware of this after a visit to the Howard Miller program in Chicago. Here we saw a TV studio in action. How very evident was the teamwork of each individual! As we watched the precision with which each one carried out his responsibilities, we were reminded how much the production of a television program is similar to our school organization and the carrying out of our activities. In the operation of a successful school system, each person, from administration, to teachers, to students, to special services, has a responsibility which requires him to work with others for the best results. As you look at and read this book, we hope you will see how something which has become almost vital in modern living is related to a vital school program. But most of all, we want you to enjoy yourself and remember pleasant times. 0 _ -V Ou , e. 3 • 90 °' T ,e _ v- 'VP'' x,° ec Because of your untiring efforts to make all of our class activities a great success, your participation in all of our activities, your help and guidance in all our problems, and because you have done so much for our class and the school beyond your call of duty, we want to show our appreciation by dedicating our book to you, Mr. Graf, the best class advisor we could ever hope to have. DEDICATION 3 Dial Each Channel; Stop And Look To Enjoy Each Section Of This Year’s Book. 4 PRODUCERS PRODUCER Merrill Fullmer Superintendent A television producer's responsibility is to plan a top-quality program within the limits of a budget or to determine the cost of a program. Thus, he handles the financial details of production. In addition, he works with the director in hiring the cast and overseeing the whole program. The producer makes the final decisions on all matters that arise. Our superintendent and schoolboard act as producers of the school program. They are constantly striving to use the operation funds in the best manner possible. Also, they select teachers best qualified to achieve the best results. Final decisionon all important matters are made by them. Seated from left to right: Donald Ogilvie, Ernest Heusinger, Clyde Wutzke. Max Swisher Merrill Fullmer superintendent; Floyd Phillips, board president; Mrs. Dalton, secretary; Darrell Wesson. Phillip Brady. Paul Chamness, principal. 6 DIRECTORS In the field of television the director is the mastermind of the entire operation and he usually works from the control room. As the operation is complicated, quite often assistant directors are used. Together they work out details in advance with other technicians and engineers to form the best possible program. So it is in the school. The principal is the chief organizer of the entire school program, but the teachers act as assistants in planning the curriculum, the schedule, and ways to improve the management of the school.

Other members of the stage-operating personnel are electricians, property men, grips (who move scenery and handle lights), carpenters and scenic artists. Their tasks, while less glamorous, are necessary operations. So it is with the tasks of some of our school personnel. Without the aid of our secretaries, janitors, cooks, and bus drivers, school wouldn't function. SECRETARIES Dorothy Abraham Elsie Meilinger Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Johnson BRIDE AND GROOM On December 19, 1954, Mary Reitz became the bride of Marvin Johnson. The candlelight ceremony took place at the Federated Church, Sandwich, Illinois. Besides teaching English III and Spanish, Mrs . Johnson is the Reflector advisor, and this in itself is a big job. We, the members of the staff, would like to express our appreciation for her wonderful help and guidance in the production of this book. Only we know how much of her time and efforts have gone into it. We would like to thank you, Mrs. Johnson, and also to wish both you and your husband all the success in the world.

( VOCATIONAL COUNSELING Miss Gage, of the Illinois Employment Service, is seen here counseling Charlotte Schorsch. The information for the interviews is taken primarily from the results of the Kuder Interest Inventory, used to determine vocational interests, and the General Aptitude Test Battery, used to determine capacity for learning to do work in a given field. Those who wished to also received specific aptitude tests. At least a 15 minute counseling period was spent with each senior who wished to be counseled. This is designed to help students into fields in which they have the interest and aptitude necessary for success. Deciding on the scores necessary for success is determined from scores made by those who are successful in the vocation or vocational field.

V. TOT TIME Kay Mall 23 Class of ’55 In 1942 our school days began. Our class was divided into two groups, A. E. Woodward and W. W. Woodbury. Kindergarten was great fun. Although we didn't appreciate our daily naps then, I am sure we would now. For graduation we did a big production of THE THREE LITTLE BEARS, with Pat Day as the Mama and Jerry Halford as the Papa. In first grade our routine was altered somewhat, for we now began to go to school all day. Kay Mall joined us. The next few years we all did our share of playing, fighting, and crying. Occasionally it became necessary for a few of us to be sent out in the hall or to the office for the butter paddle. In the second grade Sandy Legner and Sally Bark weren't very neat in art class; consequently, they had to stay after school and clean up their mess. In fourth grade Sanrs Lee joined us. In fifth grade our two classes joined, and we found ourselves making many new friends. Alice Nelson moved here from the neighboring town of Somonauk. Donnie Wallis proved to be quite a glamour boy in sixth grade and still is, as far as we know. Ruth Fox and Pat Casey moved here this year. Our Jr. High days were some of the happiest we've ever had. Many of us memorized the preamble to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, as this was the penalty for chewing gum. In seventh grade Sandra Lee and Sandra Legner were fighting over a stick of gum, and Mr. Dummer made them put their noses through a ring on the blackboard. Was it worth it, girls? In eighth grade math class, Dick Bland was caught reading a book about a bear. Did you ever find the bear, Nitch? Helen Malone, Helen Gavic, Joanne Eriksson, Darrell Livingston, Butch Stahl, Roberta Hough, and Allen Engel became a part of our fast growing class. I am sure we all remember the little red motor scooter that Butch Stahl drove to school. I guess Butch is fond of red, for he traded in his scooter for a red and black Chevrolet which he now drives. Our eighth grade year ended with a picnic to Starved Rock and Graduation. Graduation was the end of our grade school days but just the beginning of four wonderful years of high school. Our freshman class, led by Bob Kegel, demonstrated their energy by having various money making projects to earn money for their class treasury. A Laurel and Hardy movie was shown ninth period, and popcorn and homemade fudge were sold at the door. Second prize was awarded to us for our clever float in the Homecoming Parade. The slogan was, Even Wee Babies Know Sandwich Can Win. Our class worked hard during the magazine sales and were able to start the fund for our class trip. We started to settle down our sophomore year and many of our classmates became active in sports, music, and other activities. Don Wallis took over the presidency. Again our class took second in the Homecoming Parade. We did a farce of Julius Caesar and a few vaudeville acts for the assembly program. Several bake sales were held during the year to earn money, and we also sold pennant stickers with Sandwich written on them. Thoughts of graduation grew nearer as we started our junior year. We found that our schedule was much busier, and our president, Helen Malone, and her assistants were kept busy planning the activities for the class. Highlighting our junior year were, the arrival of our class rings, a successful Jr.-Sr. Hunt, presentation of the play, Our Miss Brooks, the carnival, and of course, the main highlight, the Prom. The theme Dream was brought out very artistically with clouds, flowers, and a spring garden with a swing made of roses which served as the throne for Queen Helen Malone and King Butch Stahl. As seniors we elected the following to lead the class: Butch Stahl, President, Joanne Eriksson, Vice President, Helen Malone, Secretary, and Duane Smith, Treasurer. The juniors treated us to a party because they were unable to find us during the Jr.-Sr. Hunt. Other activities included a bake sale, a Bub Dance, The Homecoming Dance, and the magazine sales. The senior play, ALL IN THE FAMILY, brought out a lot of class talent. After our class trip to New Orleans in April, the class returned to school for the few remaining weeks until graduation. The Prom in May found us guests of the juniors. The two weeks after the Prom seemed to fly by. Before we knew it, we were recessing out of the auditorium to Pomp and Circumstance , our diplomas securely in our hands. Good luck! Class of ”55 . 1. Rita Nelson 2. Roberta Hough 3. Helen Malone 4.

Secretary Jerry Grose, President Jim Martin, Treasurer Diane Legner, Vice-President SUPPORTING CAST 31 SUPPORTING CAST JUNIORS In the spring of '54 we ended our Sophomore year with a Variety Show, and a trip to Lake Geneva on the last day of school. We came back to school in the fall as full-fledged upperclassmen ready to begin the numerous activities of a busy year. Our float won second prize in the Homecoming Parade . Later we were unsuccessful in finding the Seniors on the Junior-Senior hunt. The next big event of the year was the Junior play in November. In February the Carnival was a big success, and added an additional boost to our treasury. Our Prom in May was colorful, exciting, and high-lighted our school year. This year Diane Legner, Coralee Phillips, Linda Anderson, and Pam Prestegard whowere in the Sophomore-Junior sextette last year, graduated to the Junior-Senior sextette. The speech contestants from our class were Lareen Vickery, Pat Johnson, Coralee Phillips, Pam Prestegard, and Clarebelle Walker. Pam.Coralee, and Pat were winners in their division of the local contest, permitting them to go to Woodstock for the District Contest. Our class had several new members this year. They were: Lareen Vickery, Delaine Goebel, Tom Schu-maker, Mattie Heistand, and Sonja Allison. In the two major sports of the year, Joe Beardsley, Don Morris, Larry Jackson, Harold Olson, Ronnie Fer-den, Jim Martin, John Carls, Lynn Wesson. John Holley, Jim Beale, Dick Lett, Larry Morris participated in football. Roger Holbo was manager. In basketball Cub Mall, Dave Mall, Ron Ferden, Jim Beale, Dick Lett, Jerry Grose, and Dave Allen represented our class. A feeling of satisfaction was felt by the Juniors after a most successful year. Our class found we could work together rather than individually and are looking forward to more co-operation in our senior year. L. Anderson R. Bark J. Beale J. Beardsley J. Carls N. Colliflower J M.

Our sophomore officers. President Bob Marsh. Vice President Sylvia Stratton, Secretary Howard Stahl, and Treasurer Marilyn Voga were assisted by Miss Harms and Mr. Erickson, advisors. Marlene Eriksson and Jim Anderson represented us on the Student Council. Homecoming Day was a busy one for all of us. We worked hard on our float, some marched in the band, while others rode on floats. We were honored to have Margie Johnson, a member of the class elected to be on the Homecoming Court. Some of the girls were voted (and initiated) into Pep Club. Sylvia Stratton was elected to be one of the Cheerleaders. Margaret Seitzinger became a member of the Mixed Chorus. We were also represented in sports. Jim Anderson, Harlon Gavic, Bob Kluth. Jerry Leonard, Bob Marsh, Bill Reinhart, Walter Rud, and Terry Tvrdik play football. In basketball, those who participated were Jim Anderson. Keith Iverson. Mickey King, and Howard Stahl. One cool evening in October we had a hayride. Most of our days were filled with familiar things; Mr. Eade's weekly biology tests, Mr.Gile’s daily history tests, Pep assemblies on Friday, and just being a part and having a feeling of belonging to S. T. H. S. Now we are almost upperclassmen (our class rings are ordered). Looking ahead, next year seems like a big one. But. by working together as a class, we will be able to make it a good one. D.

In eighth grade we had the champion basketball team. We were all very proud of the boys. The cheerleaders from our class were Diane McQuown and Phyllis Pierson. We went to Starved Rock on our class picnic. Commencement was held on the evening of May 27th. David Potter and Julia Finley received the American Legion Award. A dance was held in the gymnasium for us afterwards. As freshmen, we numbered 65 students. Our advisors were Miss Black and Mr. Christian. Activities of the year included a hayride in the fall with refreshments afterwards, and a class picnic to Lake Geneva in the spring. There were many students who joined clubs and some who joined music groups. Many freshmen boys were on the Fresh-Soph football team. They were Bill Hubert, George Lindner, Douglas Abraham, Ronald Brown, Terry Tremper. Dick Mall, Gerald Casner, Tom Naylon. David Tuttle, and Bill Cunz. The boys who went out for basketball were George Lindner, Bill Hubert, Douglas Abraham, Dick Mall, Terry Tremper, David Tuttle, Bill Cunz, Gerald Casner, and LaVerne Wilkening.

A Christmas party to which each girl brought a gift for a grab bag, and a party in the spring were among the activities of the club. Later in the year, the members enjoyed a roller skating party in Aurora. The F. F. A. is the organization of farm boys who are studying vocational agriculture. Some of the activities which the F. F. A. has completed this year are preparation of a float for the homecoming parade, a barn dance, Christmas party, a trip to the International Stock Show, a joint F. F. A.-F. H. A. party, sectional and state judging contests. The boys did exceptionally well at the sectional judging contest where they won first in poultry judging and second in grain judging. Hog projects proved most popular last year. The boys raised 430 pigs. Their total project profit was over $3600. Corn was the most profitable, and dairy, the least. The F. F. A. treasury is bursting at the seams with over $800 assets. Since a new department will be available next year, the chapter is planning on furnishing it with some additional equipment. It is planned to, purchase a new projector and screen, a steam cleaner, materials for a trailer, and other things. There will also be a loan fund available.

In the evening a serious initiation was given making the slaves full-fledged members. The club meets once a month in the homes of the members and makes money by dues and bake sales. With this money the club takes a trip to Chicago in the spring. This April, the trip consisted of a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry, The Northern Trust Company, and A Little Bit of Sweden restaurant. Part of the club went to the stage-play The King and I , and the rest attended This Is Cinerama.

DOWN YONDER Unlike other classes, the Class of 1955 took their senior trip during the school year. They selected the South as the section of the U. S. they wanted to visit. Most of the time was spent along the Gulf Coast and New Orleans. The seniors not only had a wonderful and unforgettable time, but the trip proved very educational. A girls' intramural basketball tournament was held during the noon hours in the winter season. The sixth hour and seventh hour teams received fourth and third place respectively. Pictured above is the fifth hour team who won over the eighth hour team by one point, receiving first while their opponents came in second.' During the year a badminton tournament was also scheduled. The best doubles from each class competed with the best in the other classes. Pictured from left to right Diane McQuown and Barbara Ferden-6thhour;Beverly Walseth and Ruth Fox (not picturedi-5th hour; Coralee Phillips and Linda Anderson-8th hour; and Pat Johnson and Mary Walker-7 th hour. Each year the boys challenge the girls to a game of mm basketball using the girls' rules. The best players from each class are pictured here as the championship team.
