Sandwich High School - Reflector Yearbook (Sandwich, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1957 volume:

REFLECTOR -1957 presented by the Senior Class Sandwich Township High School Sandwich, Illinois School Days Marlene Eriksson Editor Mickey King Business Manage FOREWORD The little red schoolhouse which stood on North Main was built before the city of Sandwich was even surveyed. It was used until 1856 when it was sold at an auction. The Sandwich Academy, which is now known as the W. W. Woodbury School, was opened in the spring of 1855 and continued as a high school until the spring of 1856 when it was purchased by the directors of the public schools. Beginning in 1857 it served as both high school and grade school. The system of grading which is eight grades below high school was adopted in 1877. Our present high school was built in 1928. A new addition was added in 1955. Schools in Sandwich have made much progress in the last hundred years--from a small, red schoolhouse to a modem, red brick high school equipped with the latest facilities. In this yearbook we are going to show you how we spend our school days--from struggling with algebra problems to dancing at the prom. 2 Dedication Who will lead our nation of tomorrow? Who will defend her, raise her children, work in her factories, and till her soil?. The youth of today. They are being trained for these responsibilities in their homes, churches, and schools. Thousands of young people all over the country are studying history, civics, and chemistry. They are working math problems and making speeches in English classes. Tomorrow these students will assume adult responsibilities. They will elect local, state, and federal officials, hold offices themselves, and work for peace among the nations of the world. With the hope that the potential of America's youth may be developed to its fullest capacity, we dedicate this yearbook, the 1957 Reflector, to Education for Peace. 3 Yea team!

They have to take pictures, see that they are the right size, and dream up a striking layout. During football season, many Reflector mem -bets were seen busily popping com and carrying pop to the concession stand to earn money to buy a camera. Alfred Hitchcock, alias Jim Anderson, presented a bloody mystery to open our sales campaign. EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief. . , Assistant Editor. . . Senior Editor. . . .

Good old golden rule days, Our first school bell rang in 1944 when we, the class of '57, entered the halls of learning. How eager we were to go to kindergarten! Our first homework was fun --tying our own shoes, learning to color within the lines, and printing ourna Readin' and ritin' and 'rithmetic Taught to the tune of a hickory stick, We were big kids”, now. In first grade we went to school all day. Bill Reinhart starred in our second grade production of Uncle Remus. hours were filled with skipping rope, hopscotch, and shooting marbles grade, the south side took pan in an operetta, Cinderella's Slipper.” new friends when the nonh and south side schools united in fifth grade. Some of the girls received big boxes of candy from their secret admirers on Valentine’s Day. Junior High at last. There were magazine sales with assemblies everyday and free show tickets. Bob Marsh earned 111. Still using them. Bob? We'll never for get writing the Preamble and the Constitution for Mrs. Moss, and Mr. Dummer's butter paddle. Hey, Betty? Sandy Nelson and Iris Olson represented us as cheerleaders. We had dancing classes in the high school gym the spring of our eighth grade year. There was a party at the end with live music by the Rhythm Kings. A trip to Brookfield Zoo was the finale to our grade school years. “You were my barefoot, bashful beau I was your queen in calico. Initiations, sports, and parties started us 66 freshmen off in a 4-year whirl of activities. Our officers were Harlon Gavic, president; Carol Swenson, vice-president; Marlene Eriksson, secretary; and Marilyn Voga, treasurer. Jackie Hayes and Jim Anderson represented us on the Student Council. Sandy Nelson and Sylvia Stratton were our cheerleaders. On a chilly evening in October we had a hayride for fun; later on, a bakesale for money. A few of us were daring enough to swim in Lake Geneva on our class trip. Our sophomore officers were Bob Marsh, president; Sylvia Stratton, vice-president; Howard Stahl, secretary; and Marilyn Voga, treasurer. -I 13 Beverly and Carol Ovitt Etta Weber Marlene Eriksson was elected to serve on Student Council. Sylvia Stratton was again voted cheerleader. We were honored to have Marge Johnson elected to be on the Homecoming Court. Special class activities were a hayride and a scaven-gerhunt, and again our trip to Lake Geneva, but most of our days were filled with familiar things: Mr. Eade's weekly tests, Mr. Giles’ daily history quizzes, pep assemblies on Friday, and just being a part of and having a feeling of belonging to S.T.H.S. Our class rings arrived with our junior year. The officers this year were Jirr Anderson, president; Diaue Van Winkle, vice-president; Clitlord Turner, secretary; Anita Tuttle, treasurer; Bob Marsh, Student Council.

Our money-making projects were car-wash, turkey raffle, and the junior play Clementine.” Our Junior Carnival was a huge success. Sea Fantasy was the theme of our prom. A mermaid, a sunken ship for the band stand, and a giant clam-shell throne helped to create the atmosphere of an underwater wonderland. Queen Marilyn Voga and King Harlon Gavic reigned amidst bubbles and glittering fish. Our senior year, the most important of high school! Our busy officers were Diane Van Winkle, president; Clifford Turner, vice-president; Iris Olson, secretary; and Carol Swenson, treasurer. The sun was shining on our Homecoming Day. Marilyn Voga was queen with Iris Olson and Etta Weber on the court. We chopped down a giant spruce tree for our Christmas Dance, Mistletoe Magic.

Naylon did a swell job of representing us in football. We arc also proud of the boys in basketball: B. Anderson, C. Kitner, D. Ralls, J. Eriksson, C. Naylon, and E. Johnson. This year we found out that we have some very good talkers. We were very proud of Juanita Morris, Dova Jacobs, and Juanita Teal, who won in the local speech contest and then went to district. Dova and Juanita T. went on to the sectional. As a group of 71, we studied hard but we had fun, too. We had a come-as-you-are party just for the sophomores. One of our happiest times was when we ordered our class rings and we look forward to next year when, as juniors, we will wear them. B. Anderson N. Anderson T. Baird D. Bark E. Beale v 33 Class P.

King Vice-President In Junior High, seventh grade, we were champs in basketball. The ream was cheered on by C. Ferden, B. Carter, J. Voga, and M. Weber. Commencement took place on May 31; we were glad but shaking in our boots. All of us were pleased when Carole Phelper and Nick Liep-ins won the American Legion Awards. A nice prom was held afterwards. “Freshmen at last! This phrase was used very often this year. All of us were happy to finally be in high school. We numbered 74. Many boys participated in sports. Those who went out for football were D. Dwyer, J. West, F. Hough, N. Liepins, D. Abraham, T. King, T. Werner, D. Cave, and B. Porter. A few boys went out for basketball: J. Fish, T. Werner, D. Dwyer, D. Adache, and R. Miller. Boys who participated in track were J. Fish, T. Werner, D. Dwyer, N. Liepins, D. Abraham, D. Cave, T. King, G. Anderson, and T. Casey. Miss Kinney and Mr. Graf were our swell advisors. We enjoyed the cool skating party held at the Sportsmen’s Club. B. Carter and M. Weber were freshman cheerleaders. Our class was well represented by Glatha Case at the speech contest. Beverly Tope worked on verse reading but was unable to be at the contest. Freshmen are looking forward to future years at S.T.H.S.

Miss Cherry is probably leading one of the choruses, the freshman girls' trio, the girls’ sextet, or the boys' quartet. After a lot of practice, the different groups presented Christmas and spring concerts. Girls' Sextet: Miss Cherry, R. Cortright, M. Seitzinger, R. Schubach, D. McQuown, J. Knox, K. Stillman. Boys' Chorus 40 Girls' Chorus In the Air Tom Naylon, Waldon Lewis, JoAnne Knox, Margaret Seitzinger. and Ruth Cortright entered solos at the district music contest. Three groups also went: the freshman girls' trio, the boys' quartet, and the girls' sextet. Ruth Cortright and Margaret Seitzinger accompanied the choruses and they also accompanied the contest numbers. Boys' Quartet: D. Potter, W. Lewis, L. Fullmer, T. Naylon, C. Turner, not pictured. Solo Contestants: M. Seitzinger, R. Cortright, J. Knox, W. Lewis, T. Naylon. II Freshman Chorus Band Rates Excellent At State Excitement ranged high when the band, ably directed by Mr. Niece, placed superior in the District Contest which gave it a chance to go to State. Individuals and groups also participating in the state contest were the brass sextet, the trombone duet, and Ron Vermeland who received excellent; and Waldon Lewis who rated superior. I love a parade.” Our band members are veterans after marching at Riverview, in the Homecoming Parade, and at many of our home football games. Students and townspeople alike anticipated their clever halftime shows featuring the baton twirlers. Jingle bells set the mood at the annual Christmas concert which included selections by both the band and the choruses. A new band activity was the Tri-town Concert given by the combined bands of Sandwich, Somonauk.and Plano directed by a guest conductor, Mr. Nutt. The people of Sandwich again enjoyed their band when they gathered to hear the Spring Concert. The Baton Twirlers Band Officers FIRST ROW: M. Weber, C. Bach, S. Stahl. SECOND ROW: J. Phelper, B.

Supervising all the student activities is one of the Student Council's most important jobs. While munching sandwiches around a biology table every noon, they stamp their approval or disapproval on sundry class and club projects. Each class elects a boy and a girl to serve on the council for a term of two years. Class vice-presidents are ex-officio members. This year the Student Council has taken strides to- ward school leadership. They arranged class elections, planned the Homecoming Parade, provided ticket-takers at the basketball games, served as guides at the PTA High School Open House, and trimmed the Christmas trees, giving our school a festive air. A Student Council first was sponsoring the magazine sales. Their skit, The Old Woman in the Shoe,” proved a hit at the kick-off assembly. Traffic Court You were going over ten miles an hour. I'm sorry, but I'll have to give you a ticket. Plan to appear in court next Tuesday. Bob Marsh, Ron Vermeland, Everett Hyatt, and La -Veme Wilkening are the school's cops. They made a set of rules for our students to follow during school You’ll have to leave your car home for one week, Two jurors chosen, from each class, decide the penalty.

Sandscript Staff Here are the news assignments for this week. They have to be handed in by Wednesday so the business practice class can type them. Since journalism is no longer offered as a course, any student who has interest and ability in writing is free to join the Sandscript staff. Meetings were held twice a month during ninth hour on Monday. The Sandscript staff brought news stories about the class activities, organizations, and news tidbits straight from the classrooms to the pages of the local newspaper. Sandscript turned over the job of feature story writing to the Sandy Junior staff. The staff did a swell job of reporting the news around S.T.H.S. in an interesting, straight-forward style. Sandy Junior Staff What would you do with a ysargcbolsrisn? The inquiring reporter received many crazy mixed-up answers when she asked that question. The feature stories written by the staff appeared in mimeographed copies called Sandy Juniors,” which were sold to the student body during the noon hour. The staff tried to put out one each six weeks. Did You Know, Guess Who, Orchids and Onions, and Inquiring Reporter, as well as a list of the students' birthdays each month, were the favorites enjoyed most by the students of S.T.H.S. FIRST ROW: J.

Newly organized this year, this club is open to all boys who earn major letters in sports. Mr. Erickson is the sponsor. Does your cap fit? Mine is too big! The boys ordered jackets and Ivy-League caps as their uniforms. The club sponsored a Thanksgiving dance, and, later in the year, an alumni basketball game. Officers Mickey King, sec. Walt Rud, pres. Everett Hyatt, v. pres., not pictured. 46 Fire When Ready! Rifle Club Handling a gun is one of the most important tilings learned in Rifle Club, according to Mr. Graf, the club's adviser. A postal match was held with Illkely, a small town in England. Eight members from each club shot one round. The English club won by a score of 784 to 736. Each year the Sandwich Sportsmen's Club gives trophies to a boy and a girl with the highest scores. Norman Otto won the boys’ trophy beating Bill Reinhart by one point. Barbara Randall won the girls’ trophy. Officers Norman Otto, v. pres. Bill Reinhart, pres- Jim Bernhardt, treas. Henry Werner, sec. Free Press Photo 47 Tillers of the Soil F. F. A. Hey!

Although cooking is a woman's job, the FFA boys did a good job during football and basketball season making popcorn and selling it. Hold out your hand and I’ll demonstrate how this fire extinguisher works. It is very handy to have in homes, cars, and on farm equipment; the price is only $2.95. About sixty of these were sold to the community. A scrap iron drive was also held by the FFA to earn money. A steam cleaner was bought with this money. The entire club and their advisor attended The International Livestock Exhibition and later the same day toured the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Plant in Aurora. Eddie Johnson, Glenn Swenson, and Jon Eriksson were the grain judging team this year. OFFICERS LaVerne Wilkening, Pres. Laurie Stahl, V. Pres. Fred Stahl, Sec'y.

Members do this by wearing their uniforms regularly, attending all the games, yelling with the cheerleaders at the games, making up new yells, and presenting weekly pep assemblies. Dova’s famous Model T became a rocket to victory and won first prize for the club in the Homecoming Parade. Cheerleaders who helped arouse school spirit and lead the team on to victory this year were Bonnie Carter, Mary Weber, Juanita Morris, Sandy Helin, Judy Phelper, Diane McQuown, Marilyn Voga, and Iris Olson. 50 Fun Through Sportsmanship Another bull's-eye? Heights make me dizzy! G. A. A. How many points do I have? This is the main concern of the girls in GAA. Each girl is required to make 75 points in order to acquire a full GAA membership. In order to make these points the members participate in competitive sports basketball, volley ball, badminton, and archery. Stunt Night provided an entertaining evening with teachers and boys challenging the girls to a volleyball game. Officers J. Allen, pres.; B. Kinchner, v. pres.; K. Abens, sec.; N.

The slaves were dressed in the latest Roman fashion. Under the able leadership of the new advisor. Miss Harrod, and the officers, a full year was enjoyed. At the annual variety show, the hit of the show was the appearance of “Elvis Presley. A bake sale and working at the canteen were two other activities. Sandwich is here! And the whole town of Chicago probably knew it when Latin Club journeyed there on its annual trip. Highlights were the popular play NoTime For Sargeants and dinner at Old Heidelberg. C.

Soon after, various initiations began to take place. One of die most memorable was the GAA initiation, which was Sept. 17. On Sept. 28 the first great event of the year was the annual homecoming. This year the game was played with Earlville and Marilyn Voga was crowned as queen. October In Oct. the leaves began to fall, and the juniors began to hunt for the seniors on the night of Oct. 10 but failed to find them. On Oct. 13 the students of STIIS were entertained by a young German speaker during an assembly. Five days later the Latin Club held a very entertaining variety show. November The first signs of winter started to appear and along with them came an exciting Career Day at Aurora College on Nov. 7 for the seniors. On Nov. 8 students from Aurora College visited Sandwich with a discussion on foreign affairs. Nov. 16-17 brought the first great production by the juniors—the Junior Play. Following this was the Varsity Club Dance on Nov. 23 which was attended by students in a holiday mood, because of Thanksgiving vacation. December The halls were ringing with jingle bells and the merry voices of the chorus practicing for the Christmas Concert on Dec. 19. The following Saturday, Dec. 22, the students began their celebrating by attending the Senior Christmas D nee. They continued with their merry-making until Jan. 3 when they returned to their classes. Calendar January-February During Jan. the students recovered from their holiday celebrations by studying for the inevitable exams, which were held Jan. 14-19. In Feb. all minds were centered on the local speech contest in which a number participated on Feb. 17. The juniors were busy making plans for spring festivities. March March came in like a lamb, admittedly a rather noisy lamb, with the Junior Carnival on March 2. On March 21 the students were entertained by a group of De Kalb High School students who put on an assembly program entitled Pyramus and Thisbe.” Four days later, on Mar. 25, the girls attended an assembly program which featured a speaker on nursing careers while the boys learned about their military obligations. March went out like an uproarious lion with the Senior Play on Mar. 26-27. April Peace and quiet ruled STHS during the days between Apt. 18-23 while the students enjoyed Easter vacation. The peacefulness prevailed from Apr. 25-29 while the seniors were in Washington D.C. and New York. May The merry month of May arrived at long last filled with activities. The excitement began on May 12 with the Spring Concert. May 17 brought the glamorous Jr.-Sr. Banquet and Prom. On May 20 an audience of families and friends were entertained by a hilarious Senior Class Night. May 26 arrived and with it brought 51 solemn seniors to Baccalaureate. The grand finale of the year took place when the same 51 seniors marched back up the aisle with diplomas in hand on the night of May 29.
