To know and understand a country and its people at 16, 17, or 18 years of age is to remember for the rest of one's life. These young ambassadors of good will live in their homes away from home as members of the family with the same re- sponsibilities and rights as other children in the family. They are chosen for qualities of character, leadership, personality, and adaptability. Responsibility for the student is shared by the host family, the local AFS chapter, and AFS N.Y. The program is planned and supervised by the local chapter and the New York office. It is a community-wide project, reaching and benefiting as many students and local groups as are interested. All AFS local activities are carried out on a volunteer basis as is the case with a great deal of the work done at AFS N.Y. and abroad. A three-week bus tour at the end of the school year gives the student a broader picture of America, although the foundation of his impressions will be the thorough knowledge of his host community. rfs ?S Sfoc tott The idea of bringing a foreign student to Stockton originated in the 1961 -62 SHS Student Council of which Terry Neeble was president. Representatives from all organizations in Stockton were invited to a meeting in the high school cafeteria on December 29, 1961. Twenty- nine interested people responded and the first local AFS chapter was formed. Dr. Lyle Rachuy was chosen as president; Mr. Orrin Arnold, Member for Finance; Mrs. Harold Nagel, Member for Homes; Mr. Alden Bretl, School Coordinator; Mrs. Edmund Thomas, Publicity Chairman; Mrs. Omer Neebel, Ameri- cans Abroad Coordinator, and Ann Borsdorf, student member. The latter two were replaced later in the year when the Borsdorf home was chosen by AFS N.Y. for the host home and when the younger Neebel son, Dick, applied for the opportunity to go abroad under the Americans Abroad program. Mrs. Robert Taylor replaced Mrs. Neebel and Bobbi Curry replaced Ann Borsdorf. These people read pamphlets — there's a pamphlet for every procedure; AFS leaves no pamphlets unwritten — , struggled to meet dead- lines, missed them and asked for deadline ex- tensions, filled out pink, blue, and yellow forms in triplicate . . . .and early in June their frantic efforts were rewarded: the Borsdorfs were to be the family; the student was to be a girl from the Philippines. Thus, AFS was born in Stockton.

Condensed from a paper by Winifreda de Veyra American-Filipino relation- ships began la 1898 when U.S. Adm. Dewey was given orders to attack the Spaniards holding the Philippines. The Filipinos allied with the Americans in order that they would be free from Spain. The Spanish squadron was defeated and by the Treaty of Paris, Spain ceded the Philip- pines to the United States. | i sunder standing im- mediately arose between the al- lies. The Filipinos thought that America would gram them inde- pendence when the war was over. They appropriately pointed out that they would prefer to rule themselves badly rather than to submit to more efficient rule by foreigners. But the U.S. in a temporary outburst of imperial- ism refused the PhiUppine ftopu-l lar rule and forcefully crH the ensuing three year in recti on. The bitterness that re- sulted requircfljplrs of undoing Nevertheless, the years between early 1900 ancf'World War II, under U.S. occupation, could be described as Philippine-Ameri- can collaboration. The policy oi e Americans towards the hilippines was based on the principle of self-determination. ericans raised the ctandard of living in the P h i 1 i p p i n e s Schools were opened and edq?� cation was no longer the privi- lege of the rich. Roads were improved, and public hea Hb service and sanitation measures were introduced. But most sig- nificantly, self-government was progressively granted. Filipinos were trained to government of- fices and their gov’t was gradu- ally “Filipinized.” The United States government allowed the founding of Philippine political parties and the establishment of the Philippine assembly. This progress towards self-govern- ment stimulated a desire for sovereignty and independence. Mission after mission was sent to the United States to work for an early grant of independence. In 1934, Quezon’s mission suc- ceeded in bringing back U.S. acceptance providing for the es- tablishment of a commonwealth government as a ten-year prepa- ration to the granting of complete independence. This concession acted as a fresh stimulus to Philippine progress and only the unfortunate occurrence of World War II interrupted the con- structive work. The combined Filipino-A- merican forces fought heroic battles, side by side, against overwhelming Japanese forces. When the Philippines fell to the j gressor, General MacArthur hedged to return. Three years ssed before the pledge could ome reality. The Islands were liberated and the catastrophe Klabeled World War II ended soon Lfter n July 4, 1946, the Philip- pines became an independent nation. PhnlpglBe-American re- lations since that time have been generally cordial, although at times political and economic die erences or mi sunder stand- areStoarent. Today the natiMM favor one another with reciprocal tariff agree- ments, offer special privileges to one another citizens, and cooperate in i—tual defensive alliances. Thoujjll minor mis- understandings exist, the U.S. and the Philippines stand united in war and peace. Each new day serves to reaffirm their strong, friendly ties. America is the champion of democracy in Asia, and the Philippine nation is the show window of democra- cy in that part of the world. S’ 6 Partte At Upon arriving from school, Winie and the rest of the kids make a mad dash for the refrigerator. Winie says that Mom Borsdorf is usually baking when they come home, contrary to sitting in an easy chair as would seem to be indicated in the above picture. From hearing Winie go on, Mrs. Borsdorf must be quite a cook! Winie loves her homemade bread. She also enjoys steak, roast beef, potatoes (with sugar on them), or virtually anything Mom Borsdorf prepares. Winie and her sisters have to take their share of KP duty, too. They help with meals as well as take their turns popping corn. Anita, Marian, Ellen, and Ann were popping some in the below picture. Dad Borsdorf spends most of his time doing the chores, but sometimes he drops in the house when the kids come home from school. Winie hasn't helped much with farm chores, but is determined to help milk once before she returns home. Winie's brothers, Joe, Bill, and Freddy (bottom left picture) let the girls join in their fun. Winie enjoys playing football, kickball, and throwing snowballs. The snow is quite a novelty for Winie as she has never seen it before. Sleigh riding, making snowmen, and shoveling the snow are brand new experiences for her. The hustling and bustling of the large Borsdorf family makes Winie feel right at home, for Winie comes from a family of eleven. It was possible for the Borsdorfs to make room for one more, as their eldest daughter, Joan, entered Nurses Training this year, but when Joan comes home for a few days, someone transfers to the davenport. Winie has shared the same rights and responsi- bilities as the other Borsdorf children, and she will always hold a place in their hearts. 'MJitue Sc uxd Although classified as a senior, when she came here Winie had already graduated from her high school at home and had completed a 6 weeks term at the University of the Philippines. Instead of an 8-4 elementary and high school system, the Philippines has a 6-4 system. Seventh and eighth grades are omitted. Winie has taken a combination of junior and senior courses at SHS this year. American History, American literature, personal typing, English literature and chemistry were classes which she attended daily. In each of these classes she met a new group of students. Boarding the bus and enjoying the few minutes ride home with another new group of kids was A-No. 1 fun for our sociable girl. For the serious student, though, the school day doesn't end with the bus ride home. Many hours are spent at her desk in her room at home preparing the next day's assignments. avtd pcc t Along with the family relations here in the United States, Winie has a job to do. She has to convey to the community, Filipino life. She lectures to various clubs and church groups. The grade school and Holy Cross enjoyed learning about the Philippines from Winie and of course, the high school, too. Winie's job doesn't end here, though. When she returns to the Philip- pines, she has to complete her job. The Filipinos will be anxious to hear about United States life, thus making it necessary for Winie to lecture when she returns. Winie, along with her fellow exchange students, hopes to promote a better understand- ing between nations. But all work and no play makes Winie a dull girl, and Winie's no dull girl. Football was something new to Winie, but the Filipinos do play basketball. Winie was surprised upon seeing cheerleaders and had to stop to watch them practice the first time she saw them. Winie tells us that for fun, she and her Filipino friends get together for Jam Sessions. They listen to music, dance, and eat, so when it came to the American teenagers getting to- gether, she found there wasn't much difference. She loves pizza and hamburgers and eats her share at parties. Slumber parties are new to her too, which fact is evident as she is one of the first to go to sleep. Winie joins right in with our fun and she finds that what American teenagers do for fun isn't much different from Filipino fun. aSUiad a forcig that Gomimm ty may apply for the Americans Abroad am.

And finally, we would dedicate this 1963 BLACK- HAWK to just about the most charming accumula- tion of human characteristics we've had the op- portunity to know in an entire life-time, to sweet little Winie de Veyra--and to the entire nation of people, now warm and real to us, that Winie represents.

Senio iotonzf September 1, 1959, was a big day for sixty-five wide-eyed students; it was our first day of high school. The class was organized under the much-needed guidance of Mrs. Thomas, Mr. Bretl, and Mr. Lankenau. The officers we elected were: Ruby Eden, President; Mike Munson, Vice-president; Barbara Calhoun, Secretary; and Carol Vipond, Treasurer. Diane Katzenberger, Steve Northsea, and Mary Jane Townsend registered our complaints in the Student Council. Sixty-three sophomores returned to Stockton High on August 30, 1960. Presiding as our class officers were: Tom Heidenreich, President; Gayle Lyden, Vice-president; Barbara Calhoun, Secretary; and Joyce Wachter, Treasurer. Bobbi Curry, Jake Werkheiser, and Diane Katzenberger represented us in the Student Council. We proved ourselves an ambitious class by conducting a prosperous coat check during basketball season. Mr. Bretl and Mr. Lindahl were our advisers. Fifty-seven strong, and juniors now, we squared our shoulders and braced ourselves for our busiest year in extra-curricular activities as we entered the halls of Stockton High again on August 29, 1961. Our class officers were: Tom Heidenreich, President; Ann Borsdorf, Vice-president; Barbara Calhoun, Secretary; and Joyce Wachter, Treasurer. Bobbi Curry, Jake Werkheiser, and Diane Katzen- berger were re-elected as Student Council Representatives. We increased our treasury by conducting hopping counters during football and basketball seasons and presenting‘‘Arsenic and Old Lace” as our class play under Mrs. O'Boyle's capable direction. The proceeds from these and other money-making ventures went into the fund for our Junior - Senior Prom, “Blue Hawaii.” Queen Bobbi Curry and King Tom Heidenreich were crowned in front of a seashell background. Our advisers were Mr. Lindahl and Mr. Green. If our junior year was our busiest year in extra-curricular activities, our senior year was just as busy with scholarly pursuits. We felt the full prestige of our senior ranking as we started our last year at Stockton High School on August 28, 1962. Lynn Heller. Steve Noller, Ann Borsdorf, and Joyce Wachter were President, Vice-president, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. Diane Katzenberger, Jake Werkheiser, and Bobbi Curry were again elected as Student Council Representatives. Our class play, ‘‘Cheaper by the Dozen”, was directed by Mrs. O'Boyle and proved to be a big success. The profits from it and the maga- zine sales went toward financing our senior trip to Chicago. Mr. Olson was our class adviser. Our Homecoming Attendants were: Freshman, Mary Jane Townsend; Sophomore, Bobbi Curry; Junior, Ruby Eden; Senior, Winie de Veyra. Bobbi Curry was Homecoming Queen. Throughout the four years Munson, Shere, Heidenreich, B. Rowe, G. Rowe, Werkheiser, Noller, Carroll, Haas, Bernhardt, Leitzen, Arnold, Broshous, Folkens, Polhill, and Savage represented us in sports. Pat Haight, Lorell Lingle, and Karen Olthoff cheered them on at our JV games. Bobbi Curry and Karen Olthoff took over at the Varsity games. Pat Haight was a baton twirler, and Mary Jane Townsend was drum majorette. We were happy to welcome Winie de Veyra from the Philippines as a classmate during our senior year and proud to have been the first class at Stockton High to have an AFS student as a member of our class. Our four years at SHS will be years the Class of '63 will never forget and will often wish to relive. We wish to say “Thank You” to the faculty who guided us through these four years. As we depart from Stockton High in May, we hope that we will be remembered as a class that employed and didn't misuse the benefits offered to us. 29 Senior (fyub O icenA Lynn Heller, President; Stephen Noller, Vice-president; Ann Borsdorf, Secretary; Joyce Wachter, Treasurer. 7 Sc ct These six girls, Mary Ellen Schubert, Mary El- lyn Groezinger, Ruth Ann Upmann, Pat Williams, Carol Jean Gutzmer, and Barbara Calhoun, are in the highest scholastic ranks of the senior class.

This entitled them to a share of second place in the Stephenson Conference. The Hawks put arch-rival Aquin out of first place with a thrilling 19-12 victory over the Bulldogs and accumulated a season total of six victories in eight games. The squad landed John Bernhardt, Dennis Carroll, Mike Munson, and Jake Werkheiser on the All-Stephenson Conference Team. Allen Beyer, Dave Copeland, Dennis Heidenreich, and Roger Viel earned Honorable Mention honors. With only five returning seniors as a nucle- us, the Hawks found it difficult to get going in the early season. But thirteen aggressive juniors came through fast to put the team on the winning trail. Of those out for varsity football, seventeen received varsity letters.

The Blackhawks were in good scoring position several times, but failed on every occasion. Although they outrushed Dakota, the only touchdown that counted was that of a fourth quarter drive by Dakota. Siac dauddi ’Tdannco'tA 26 - 0 The Stockton Blackhawks renewed an old battle with the East Dubuque Warriors in their usual style winning 26 - 0. On a rain-soaked field, the Blackhawks jumped to a 19-0 lead at half-time and were never threatened. Our de- fensive backfield did a tremendous job of con- trolling a Warrior passing attack which never crossed the Blackhawk goal line. 48 Vicious tackles: Lumpy Doug, Rugged Rog, and Dangerous Dan fyacv c - Tttin Stockton scored in every period as they easily defeated the Panthers at Lena. Jake Werkheiser led the scoring with two touch- downs. The Hawks held a 14-2 lead at half-time, but their lead was threatened by a quick, third quarter touchdown. Stockton came back with a touchdown at the end of the third quarter and an- other in the fourth quarter, putting the game on ice, ending 27 - 8. 'Victory Stockton's superior defense showed itself again as Warren failed to get into scoring territory. Denny Heidenreich opened the scoring by darting a- round right end for the first TD. In the fourth quarter, Werkheiser bolted through the middle for the second, and the last, touch- down. The game was most- ly a defensive battle. The defensive line stopping many of the Warrior charges consisted of Dave Copeland, Dan Dewey, Den- nis Carroll, Roger Viel, Doug Brandenburg, and Al- len Beyer. 49 Fullback Jake Werkheiser gets ready for a kick-off. fafcnci 20 StocAtOK 6 Stockton faced the toughest opponents of the season on Friday, October 12.

Tiger Oz! A, Bty 'Victonty f Jake Werkhei ser played an outstanding game and led the Blackhawks to victory over their old foes, Aquin. Stockton took a half- time lead of 12-0 on touchdowns by Jake and Denny Heidenreich. In the second half Aquin scored twice and a determined Stockton defense made a brilliant goal line stand to prevent the Bulldogs from scoring again. Stockton's lone score in the second half came with a charging 70 yard run by Werkheiser right up the middle of the field. The extra point was added by Tom Heidenreich and the game ended with the Hawks leading 19-14. Rugged blocking by Dennis Carroll clears the way for Tom Heidenreich on an end run. 0 Mco«tfrc(e tt But Stitt VidcniouA. An over confident Stockton team traveled to the Lena field to play the under estimated Pearl City team. Pearl City held Stockton to a mere 6 points and ran hard offensively but were still unable to score. In the second half, Pearl City went around end for a touchdown and the game was 6-6 deadlock. After this the Blackhawks caught fire and hit Pearl City with a fine aerial at- tack as well as a good ground game. We continued on to defeat Pearl City 41-6. 50 Larry Pearce prepares for a handoff. 'JutaC ‘Victory Stockton finished its season on November 2 by takings squeaker from Durand. Stockton made two quick touchdowns and one extra point in the first quarter to take a 13-0 lead. A strong line pre- vented the Bulldogs from making yardage up the middle, and excellent work by the ends and the secondary prevented yardage on end runs. The Bulldogs then took to the air and scored 19 points to lead 19 - 13 at halftime. The third quarter was scoreless for both teams, but Stockton struck pay dirt at the beginning of the fourth quarter and added the extra point to make the score 20-19. A bril- liant defense held Durand score- less for the remaining seven minutes, thus drawing a close to a fine 6-2 season for the Blackhawks. Fleet-footed Den fakes into the line.

The Blackhawk Freshman-Sophomore foot- ball team proved there is strength in numbers by having a large turnout of candidates for the squad and posting one of the best records in recent years. A total of eighteen freshmen and seventeen sophomores reported for the initial practice. They were led by Captain Bob Cole to a fine, five wins, one lost, and one tie season. The offense, which scored a total of 123 points during the season, was led by freshman halfback Walter Pagel, who carried the ball 64 times for 623 yards. This was a fine 9.7 yards per carry average. Halfback Bob Eden (4.9 yard average) and Dave Munson (5.1 yard average) also contributed greatly to the offense. The offense was led to victory by the fine signal calling and passing of quarterback Arnie Finks. The defense, which limited their opponents to 51 points, was led by Bob and Bill Cole with 114 and 107 defensive points respectively. They received ample help from Danny Pierce, Ken Penticoff, and Carson Toepfer, and the rest of the defensive unit. The chief ingredient in the success of this team proved to be their tremendous DESIRE to excel and do things well. Let's hope that these boys retain these fine qualities and continue their fine work throughout the rest of their high school days.

Our theme was “Fall Fantasy and everyone enjoyed an evening of dancing to the music of Gene Me Duff. We also sponsored another dance at Christmas time. Everyone danced to the music of the Stockton Dance Band, under the “Winter Wonderland decorations. The Student Council participated in many activities. We had charge of report cards, class elections, assemblies, and Senior awards. The activity which served as the main source of income was serving at the Royal Blue Smorgasbord. We originated the idea of the American Field Service, which was enacted this year. We were very pleased to have Winie, our foreign exchange student, as an honorary member. 76 Ttatiouat 'ityotuyi Society Character, scholar- ship, leadership, and serv- ice are qualities which the National Ho nor Society wishes to encourage in its members. The Member- ship is limited to fifteen per cent of the graduating class who have maintained at least a “BM average. Being in the National Honor Society is the highest honor a student can receive. Half of the members are chosen during their junior year, and these members in turn become the officers the next year. As officers, they select teachers to serve on the Executive Committee which selects the new senior and junior members for the year. Every spring, the Na- tional Honor Society con- ducts the Honors Assembly at which time awards are presented. Mary Ellyn Groezinger, Mary Ellen Schubert, and Barbara Cal- houn are this year's members.

The chapter was host for the Section One Leadership Training School on September 17 and the Public Speaking Contest on February 11. On November 27, the sophomore, junior, and senior boys in the club took a trip to the National Live- stock Show in Chicago, visiting the Northern Illinois Breeding Co-op enroute. The members also par- ticipated in the Section One Land Use Contest and the Section One Dairy Contest, receiving eighth place in the Land Use Contest. The boys cooperated with the FHA in sponsoring a fall picnic, a caroling party, and the Sweetheart Swirl. Highlighting the year's activities was the National FFA Convention, which was held in Kansas City, Missouri, in October. John Blair, Jerry Townsend, and Mr. Lindahl represented the local chapter. Wayne Noller's election to the Section One Vice-presidency at the State FFA Convention in June also drew the interest of the group. The boys received their awards at the annual Parent-Son Banquet held in April.

Our theme for the year was “Guideposts for Action. Our objective was to help individuals improve personal, family, and community living. Activities for the year were attending the Fall Rally, having a picnic with the F FA, selling Christmas Cards, selling baked goods, preparing a Christmas basket for a needy family, making nut cups for the nursing homes, having a formal initiation, observing Heart Sister Week and FHA Week, sponsoring a Sweetheart Swirl, having a Slave Day and an I Hate Boys Day, taking the fathers out for Daddy Date Night, and finally, putting on a style show of garments made during the year.

The school paper, the Arrowhead, is published once a month during the school year by a staff of juniors and seniors. The four seniors who served as reporters during their junior year took over the managership this year. They are: Pat Williams and Ann Borsdorf, co-editors; Bob Winter and Darol Hacker, art editors. Ruby Eden, Lynn Heller, Kenny Leitzen, Carol Jean Gutzmer, and Tom Heidenreich joined the staff this year as reporters. Juniors, Nancy Michael, Kay Gutzmer, Dick Neebel, and Randy Goode, became members of the staff during the second semester and will take over the editorship next year. Since the staff had trouble finding a period when all the members would be free, they resorted to noon hours for their meetings. It is questionable how much the frantic efforts of the editors and sponsor, Mrs. Thomas, accomplished between bites of dinner and side conversation. The staff keeps itself busy by spying on the students and teachers and reporting on them to the rest of the school. They also announced the coming of the different activities through the year. Steno II publishes the Arrowhead under Mrs. Schubert’s supervision. Many thanks go to her and Mrs. Thomas for their help during the year. ROW 1-C. Groezinger, L. VanHamme, M. Schreck, S.

Many of their duties include checking-out and returning books, and keeping the shelves, files, and the library neat and orderly. Along with their duties, the members have fun at “work nights” when they catch up on their back work.
