Whittier, Secretary Ci, Rohan Kelly Isermann Goslin Metcalf l MR H. K. WHITTIER Principal More and more to meet the needs of the world in the days ahead, We must realize that there is no single indis- pensable set of facts for an educated individual. Science demonstrates that there are valuable individual differences in our make ups. Democracy offers opportunity for indi- vidual contributions. Qy,-. , at The high school pupil chooses from courses and activi- ties that most nearly seem to be indispensable to him as a member of society that he may participate in the experience of fruitful cooperation among groups having different skills and interests, but having a common purpose for the good of all. Rather like high school, the world structure must con- tinually be rebuilt-kept in order under changing conditions and at best, be the result of cooperative effort. How important it is to make the most of individual differences! fV7lfi 18 191 MRS. STULTZ Dean of Girls MR.

Many things have to be learned before the nebulus book takes actual form. The artistic, literary, and business sides require special atten- tion f'or nine months. The routine of pub- lication, photography and organization of the entire book take toll of time and energy. Senior editors and typists collected, rc-collected, wrote and revised for senior activities and club pages. Lois Stuck was responsible for the music section and Fred Mills and Marian Koehis planned the sports section. Jo Mitchell and Marilyn tlahm helped on the class history. John Thompson contributed some wittieisms to the calendar. Sanford Ashinger, a member ot' our art stall' completed his work on one of the division pages before he left for the navy. Other members of the art stafl' contributed the following. Shirley Peterson, division pageg Gregory Phalen, title and sub-title pages: Pat Urego, dedication and contents pagesg Jean Heinz, four sub-division pages. HARDSCRABBLE t'0-EDITORS Mary Ellen Green Charles Hord t'U-BUSINESS MANAGERS Delores Hunter Eldon Woerner Woerner Hunter Near the end of the year Miss Mayes helped as an English adviser for several weeks when the work became heaviest. Sales of subscriptions reached a new high as a result of the humorous revue sponsored by the business staff. With the end ot' the war we were able to secure heavier and better paper and thus a thicker book. To complement this we scraped the depths of our treasury to present. to you the first Hardscrabble with padded leather covers. So here's our best for the Hardscrabble ot' 1946.

This year's classes were made up of seniors, the large senior enrollment making it necessary to exclude juniors from the classes. The Review staff rotate positions so that each member gets experience in as many different activities as possible. All aspects of the newspaper business, such as reporting, editing, and financing are studied. This year, twelve four-page issues were published, the Christmas issue being especially illus- trated. Every year the number of subscrib- ers increases. This year the price was cut, and the majority of the students were sub- scribers. The Review is self-sustaining in that it buys the paper, ink, and linotype needed for the publication. HOT OFF THE PRESS B. Hill, R. Logsrlon, D. Hart, D. Haldeman, D v Hunter. D. Hart, R. Tkach. P.

MOVIE PROJECTION CLUB The movie projection club was organ- ized six years ago under the supervision of Mr. Edwards. The membership is com- posed of a group of boys interested in learning how to operate the 16 millimeter projector. These boys volunteer their time and services to show movies before classes, assemblies, and different civic organizations.

Music is recognized today as one of the most important factors in the development of young people into useful citizens. The students of Streator High School who participated in its musi- cal activities have enjoyed music and been benefited emotionally by their efforts. Perhaps the most important musical feature at Streator High School this year was the annual District Competitive Musi- cal Festival held here March 2 and April 6. More than 300 individuals participated, coming from 26 schools. Solos and en- sembles were featured. From our own school, winners in the First Division were Edwin Chalfant-clarinet solo, Wiilliam Scott-boys medium voice, Wilma Kin- kade-baton twirling, brass sextet which included R. Greening, S. Patterson, W. Arrington, V. Farthing, B. Sanford, and D. Reynolds. Division Two included Lois Stuck and Shirley Patterson-girls high voice, Richard Estvanik-piano solo, Shirley Smith-marimba solo, Patty Devero and Barbara Hoffner-baton twirling, and a girls trio composed of W. Brix, B. Alderson, and D. Wahl. Those receiving Division Three rating were Theresa Palko-piano solo, Theresa Ann Hudak-girls high voice, and Janice Met- calf-girls low voice. The Glee Club who participated in the contest held April 6, received a first place. The Sectional Music Contest was held May 3 and 4 in Peoria. Ratings received were William Scott, first place-boys medium voice, Edwin Chalfant, second place-clarinet solo, the brass sextet, second place, Wilma Kinkade, second place-baton twirling. Mr. Myron S. Mikita again this year directed the bands of the high school and grade schools and the Girls' Glee Club. M1'. Mikita GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The sound of youthful voices which echo through the halls with the ringing of eighth hour bell signifies another meet- ing of the Girls' Glee Club. The club was organized again this year under the direc- tion of Mr. Mikita. Evelynne Sopko served as president, Sharyn Rogers-vice- president, Donna Hofl'ner-secretary- treasurer, and Buelah Semans as librarian. The club enjoyed a very successful year taking an active part in assembly programs, singing in the halls at Christ- mas, winning first place in the District Music Contest, taking part in a joint con- cert held with the band in May, and also in presenting a Christmas cantanta for the public. BAND The maxim small but mightyl' can be well applied to the Streator High School band this season. Although few in num- ber they provided a fine background for both basketball and football games. They also took part in a number of assembly programs. The big event for the band this year was the joint concert held in May with the Glee Club. Patience and hard practice were well repaid by the appreciative audi- ence. The band also marched in the civic parade on Decoration Day. A dance was sponsored by the depart- ment on April 12. f TROMBONES Harry Reynolds James Murray BARITONE Bill Sanford BASS Velma Farthing DRUMS Rosemary Butterly Virginia Reynolds Ruth Strobel Shirley Smith Virginia Bock ALTO SAXOPHONES Bob Sellers Virgil Redman in BAND TENOR SAXOPHONE Shirley Arrington CORNETS Ruth Greening Shirley Patterson James Baum Fred Offutt Robert Allen CLARIN ETS Bill Metcalf Edwin Chalfant Delores Harter Barbara Jean Fellows Delores Brock Grace Moore Arthur Castetter Llewellyn Richard SPRING CONCERT GIRLS GLEE CLUB FLUTES Lodene Dominic Irene Bagy HORNS Wallace Arrington Rita Kmetz B-BAND Robert Drabik William Dunbar James Notman Bill Arthur Marjorie Barker Mary Ann Morse Christie McCormick 1.

The council set the date for many interesting auditorium programs such as: dramatic readings by Edna Means, the Christmas Cantata, a wide variety of movies, and the Hub program which starred talent taken from the student body. Eight members comprise the board-a boy and a girl chosen from each of the four classes. The senior members, Marian Kochis and Charles Hord, act as chairmeng and the freshmen, Mary Fagot and Sam Obert, assume the duties of re- cording secretaries. The juniors, Jane Ann Mack and Donald Funk, and sophomores, Bona Ator and Norman Estvanik, are active members and have votes on any debated question that arises.

FOOTBALL COACH RICHARDS With the end of this year, Joe Rich- ards has completed a decade of coach- ing at Streator High School. His 'team is always a threat in football circles. He started working with the boys late in the summer and turned out a fine team, winning eight games and losing two. COACH SIGNORELLA This year there was a new-comer on the coaching staff 3 namely, Mike Sig- norella. He came to us from Kersey, Colorado, where he was principal of a junior high school for three years. Mike graduated from Colorado State University where he participated in football and track. Here, Mike is assistant football coach and head track coach. Richards Signorella VARSITY FOOTBALL STREATOR 6-KEWANEE 0 In the first game of the year, Strea- tor's alert forward wall held the Kewanee backs in check and paved the way for the lone score of the game made by Novotney after a 34 yard run. Streator was the only team to beat or score on Kewanee all season. STREATOR 20-OTTAWA 0 Streator literally ran over its tradi- tional rivals, as touchdowns by Kerestes, Benckendorf, and Pickerill and two extra points accounted for twenty points. John Kerestes did a neat bit of running, picking up 228 yards in 28 attempts. The Strea- tor line again held fast and stopped the Ottawa backs cold. ST. BEDE 26-STREATOR 12 Playing on a cold muddy field, Streator was downed by a powerful St. Bede eleven. Reed, Streator center, was in- jured and could play only part of the game. Both Streator scores were made by John Kerestes on runs of 46 and 24 yards. STREATOR 33-MA RMION 0 Sweet revenge was the story as Strea- tor rolled over Marmion 33-0. It is recalled that a year ago Streator was on the losing end 46-6. Novotney and Kerestes each made two touchdowns, and Whited made one. Arnold found the range and kicked 3 out of 5 extra points. CENTRAL 13-STREATOR 0 Streator lost its opening conference game to a fast Central team. While Peoria scored two touchdowns, neither came from scrimmage. The first was on the runback of the opening kick oif and the other on an intercepted pass. STREATOR 31-PEKIN 6 Bouncing back from the previous week's upset, the Bulldogs won over Pekin in grand style. Touchdowns were scored by Benckendorf, Novotney, Parcher, and Kerestes who got two. On long runs Novotney also made two more touchdowns which did not count because of penalties. 54 55 STREATOR 25-DANVILLE 0 Streator beat a fighting Danville eleven for its second conference win. Marine scored one touchdown and Kerestes scored three. This year was the first time Streator ever succeeded in beating a Dan- ville team on its home ground. STREATOR 20-MANUAL 0 In the last home game of the season, the Bulldogs rolled over Peoria Manual for its third conference win. Touchdowns were scored by Pickerill, Kerestes, and Benckendorf. Bill Scott was injured in this game and was out for the rest of the season. STREATOR 13--DECATUR 0 In the last Big 12 game, Streator out- ran Decatur 13-0. Novotney scored early on a pass from Pickerillg Arnold kicked the extra point. Late in the game, John Kerestes ran the ball for another touch- down. STREATOR 13-LA SALLE 6 Playing a strong La Salle eleven, Streator won the last game of the season. Touchdowns were made by Kerestes and Novotney. La Salle was the winner of its own Conference so our game with the Cavaliers was widely publicized on a com- parative basis. DISTINCTIONS This year many different distinctions were won by the team. Upon beating Ottawa 20-0, Streator came into posses- sion of the Silver Jug and the Rotary trophy. The idea of the trophy origin- ated this year 3 at the end of ten years the team that has won the most games will keep the trophy. Streator placed second in the Big 12 this year, being beaten only by Peoria Central. Among the individual distinctions were positions earned on various honor- ary elevens. Dan Bradach, left tackle, placed on the first string All-State team and also on the first string All-Confer- ence eleven. Gene Novotney lined up on the first string All-Conference team and won honorable mention on the All-State team. John Kerestes and Dan Bradach rated on Ottawa's All-Opponents' team. Though the honor for these stars be great, a Word must be spoken in favor of the substitutes who worked hard all year, but seldom received mention. 'A' VARSITY Front: Hawkins, Arnold, Davies, Reed, Scott, Bradach, Novotney Back: J. Kerestes, Marine, Pickerill, Benckendorf V GRADUATING S MEN JACK CAREY Jack played center for the second team this year. He was a hard hitter and had more nerve than was good for him at times. Jack's sideline was kicking extra points. EDWIN SURROCK A clever little quarterback, Bud filled up the spot when Kenny Pickerill was absent. This year was Eddie's third year of football and he ran hard and turned in a fine season's record. MELVIN MUN TS Big and tough are words for Mel , as he finished his third year of football. Mel played a big tackle position, charging fast and hitting hard. LESLIE GOSLIN Les played tackle for the second stringers, playing in Dan Bradach's place when he was out. Les finished his third year of football this past season and turned in some good performances. MARTIN WHITED This was Marty's first year of foot- ball. He played end and saw a lot of ac- tion. NORMAN HALL Norm played guard this year, see- ing considerable action. This was his third and last year of football. He was a hard charger and a good sport. LEWIS BENCKENDORF Playing his fourth and last year of football for Streator, Lewie had a fine season. He was a hard runner and could always pick up those needed yards. ROBERT KERESTES Bob played good ball for the second stringers and his fight and drive were appreciated on the football field. He solidly filled his end position. WARREN ISOM Warren came to Streator from Seneca this year and took his place as halfback on the second team. Midway in the season he was injured and could not finish the year. KENNETH PICKERILL Kenny completed his fourth year of varsity football at Streator as captain of the team. His last was by far his best year as he piloted his team through a successful season. HARRY HAWKIN S Bud was switched from guard to end this year and it took, for he turned out to be one of the best defensive ends in years. This was his fourth year of football at Streator. DANIEL BRADACH Playing his second year of football, Dan turned out to be one of the finest tackles Streator has seen in a long time. He won a berth on both the All-State and the All-Conference teams. EUGENE N OVOTNEY Small, fast, and rugged are the words for Gene , He switched from halfback to end this year and won the acclaim of the state with his end-around play. He placed on the All-Conference team and won honorable mention on the All-State team. HARRY MARINE Harry was the first string full-back this year, switching from his old position of halfback. He was a hard runner and a good blocker and made some fine runs. SPENCER WELLMAN Spence was a hard hitting guard who got his chance to show his stuff late in the season when he became a regular. Spence played two years. 56 Pickerill Novotney Benckendorf Hawkins Carey Eau, 3 Brarlach Marine Surrock Munts Goslin 75 -f ix 8 Isom Korcstes Wellman Whitcd Hall N I 21, f VARSITY SQUAD Row Row Row Row Roy FRESH-SOPH SQUAD Row one: Green.

Repko, Mor- Hoskins, Ro- 5 591 BASKETBALL COACH DALE Having completed 28 years of coach- ing at Streator, Pops is known as one of the foremost basketball mentors of the state. In his position as Director of Athletics he controls all sports. Pops has always turned out good teams, even when the going seemed hardest. This year, even though his team was hampered by illness and injury, it still won a good percentage of the games. A team coached by Pops Dale is always a threat. VARSITY SEASON Although the Bulldogs didn't win all their games this year, much valuable ex- perience was gained by players who will come back next year. All season the Bull- dogs were dogged by illness and injury which took its toll from the starting line- up. The season was not too dull, however, for they upset Marmion and Peoria Cen- tral, and beat Ottawa two out of three times. This year Coach Dale produced a new revolving offense which confused many opposing teams. This wasn't as spectac- ular as the fast break, but it proved more effective in our team's case. This year the greatest trouble was in finding the right combination of players. Pops used many different combinations in order to find the most effective one. Players were shifted around until the best team was formed. The students backed the team, win or lose, and there was al- ways a large attendance at the games. Coach Dale r g I Coach Westlake COACH WESTLAKE In his second year at Streator Coach Westlake put another good team on the hardwood. Benny has developed much prospective varsity material while coach- ing the All-Staters. His teams are always noted for their fire and drive. Benny is not new to Streator, for he coached here before he went to Riverside-Brookfield High School at Riverside, Illinois. VARSITY SQUAD Row one: G. Novotney, L. Ramza, D. Bauman, B. Reed, J.

LOUIS I-IAMZA Louie played center for the Hull- dogsg he proved to be a very line pivot player and a dead shot. In the St. Hede garne, he was just hitting his stride when he had his collar-bone broken. Ile came back later in the season and played again. Louie could always be depended upon to make needed points. WILBUR TAYLOR Wib played his tirst season of var- sity basketball this year. liis speed and shiftiness enabled him to work many good plays. Ile was a capable reserve and could be depended upon in a game. KENNETH PICKERILL Kenny started the season as a sub- stitute, but he fought so hard that he was made a regular before the season was over. Kenny left for the Navy late in the season and didn't get a chalice to go to the tournaments. ii, W l 4 1 4 CHEER LEADERS l l'. Woll lf. Sopko A. llanliotl' fill ALL-STATERS Row one: B.

Be- cause of a shortage of equipment and of transportation problems, baseball was dis- continued during the war. This year, however, the Bulldogs were well equipped and had a full season. They were entered in Big 12 competitiong also some non-loop games were scheduled. Even though the players were inexperienced they gave their opponents keen competition.

In the Army, Mr. Schuh coached several successful baseball teams and was a physical education director. Before his army career, he coached at Cairo, Illinois. His work with the baseball team should receive extra mention, for he started from scratch and turned out a fighting ball club. lfiil PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS BASKETBALL CHAMPS Again this year there was a basket- ball tournament between the gym clas- ses. The tournament was ofiiciated by Mr. Schuh and Mr. Signorella. Games were played during third period in a one-way single-elimination tournament.

A., girls are given an opportunity to engage in friendly com- petition in a variety of sports. These pro- vide the chance to develop skills, main- tain physical fitness, and gain new friends. The various activities presented dur- ing the year included an all school dance and a weiner roast. The highlight of the weiner roast was a scavenger hunt. In addition, the regular seasons of archery, soccer, baseball, bowling, volley ball, basketball and softball were con- ducted. The last social function of the year was the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet which was held on May 22. At this time the awards Were presented. Each year members of the local club attend a summer camp for one week. This year Anne Dobrik and Maxine Balke went to Williams Bay, Wisconsin. The G. A. A. pays for half the camp fee and the camper pays the remainder. Besides enjoying :themselves the girls bring back new ideas for their own organizations. Last year a scholarship fund was or- ganized by the G. A. A. A senior girl who is an active member of the organiza- tion and who plans to attend an accredited college or university for a four year term is awarded the scholarship. The qualities required to gain this scholarship are lead- ership, scholarship, character and ser- vice. Since there was no G. A. A. mem- ber from this graduating class who plan- ned to enter college, the scholarship was not awarded. The advisers of the organization are Miss Ruth Bird and Miss Marion Homan. f66 I67I l G. A.

Anne Dobrik had the highest individual score for Streator. Her name will be inscribed on the plaque which hangs in the gymnasium office. Alice Moerchen supervised the archery season. TENNIS Betty Riley led the tennis tournament and the year's activity to a close. Thirty-two participants met in friendly rivalry. Although doubles were considered, see- only singles were played this year. Anne Dobrik Gi. On Saturday, January 2'6, 1946, Dr. T. K. Cureton, head of Research in the Phy- sical Education Department, University of Illinois, gave physical and organic tests to sixty-three girls from our advanced swimming classes. Under the supervision of Dr. Cureton and his six assistants, the girls were given cardiovascular tests, and tests for lung capacity, breath holding, flexibility, and strength. Body measure- ment and body type rating were also given. The equipment for testing was furnished by the Physical Education Department of the University of Illinois. These same tests were given to Olym- pic swimmers at Berlin, Germany, in 1936, but have never before been given to high school girls. The results of these tests are valuable in predicting an individual's swimming ability. Tests in swimming were given to the advanced classes with the intention of correlating the results of swimming tests with the results of the organic and physical tests. fvo SWIMMING TESTS SVIINEIIDEIQ TEST I,.

D onna Hoffner This year, at the end of an eventful period in our lives, we, the class of '46, pause to recall for a moment the high-lights of our high school years. Even as timid freshmen we felt the effect of war on our school lives. Enrollment dropped as many of the boys left to join the Armed Forces. Uniformed speakers and war movies were featured in the assembly. Sore and aching muscles told the tale of increased gymnasium periods and the addi- tion of calesthenics. Our freshman dance - what a frightening ordeal that seemed when we were planning it, and what a satisfaction when we knew We had made it a success! Our sophomore year gained for us the ease and skill acquired only through experience. Our junior year brought the thrill of choosing our class rings, knowing that at last we were upper- classmen. Because of the shortage of materials we held the Event of the Yearf' the annual Junior Prom, in the armory instead of the gymnasium, as was the custom in former years. At last our senior year arrived with the flurry of graduation and the sad farewells to high school life and acquaintances. Recalling these happy years and the knowledge we have gained in them, we stand now on the threshold of a new World with the hope that our efforts will help to make it a better world for all. Benckendorf Hagi Hoffner Mills 586 MRS. SWANSON Senior Aclviser Known for her willingness to help the timid freshman and give him the self-confidence he desires, Ma , as she is affectionately called by all who seek her advice, has lent her helping hand and willing leadership to us at a time when the problems of a class adviser were greatly intensified by war. With her assistance we were able to organize and successfully carry out such timely activities as Gifts for Yanks drives, War Bond Sales, and Red Cross Drives. Thanks, Ma, and the best of luck to you always from the class of '46. Ci, CHARLOTTE ANDERSON Hcharlf Review Staff 4: Baton Twirler 4: Clubs: Pep 2: Tri-Hi-Y 1 SHIRLEY ARRINGTON HMaxY!
