The student body is not composed exclusively of residents of Streator, for boys and girls from neigh- boring farms and towns come to avail themselves of the educational facilities of S. H. S. 7 l l ROHAN METCALF ISERMANN KELLY GOSLIN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION President-Mr. William J. Rohan Mr. Leslie Goslin Dr. William G. Metcalf Mrs. Carl Isermann Dr. Maybra Kelly Mr. Z. H. Dorland, Secretary OUR NEW PRINCIPAL Mr. Z. H. Dorland, our principal who came to us this year, has had many years of valuable experience in school adminis- tration. He was graduated from Illinois State Normal University, and holds a Master of Arts degree in education from the State University of Iowa Where he has also done further Work toward another degree. Mr. Dorland began his professional career as a science instructor and coach. Following this he entered the administra- tive iield. He served as a superintendent of schools, and from 1939 was principal of the Washington and the Lincoln junior high schools in Bloomington, Illinois until 1944 when he assumed the principalship of Normal Community High School. He left that position to come to Streator. His experience, and his active partici- pation in many educational projects throughout the state provide an excellent background for the improvement of our school. Many of his ideas have already gone into effect, and many other plans should be realized next year. The students of Streator High wish Mr. Dorland success in his present posi- tion. ISI MR. Z. H. DORLAND Principal PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE In a democratic society the school should be a positive agent of social progress. A school worthy of the support of the community owes it to that community to be a school of social action. The quality of living should improve because of the presence of the schools which the community supports. Our nation should show improvement in ways of living because of the public school system which the nation as a whole supports. Competition in the world today is becoming more keen. The complexity of modern life demands more diversified training and a higher quality of education than ever before. It is the solemn obligation of the Board of Education elected by the people of the community, and of the administrative officer and faculty appointed by them, to make Streator Township High School an institution that will provide for the educational needs of every boy and girl that enters its class rooms. To accomplish this end the school must provide a well rounded program of studies under the com- petent leadership of a highly trained teaching and administrative staff and a school plant sufficient to meet the demands placed upon it. We can not fail in this, our sacred obligation to the youth of our community, state and nation. Z. H. DORLAND MRS. STULTZ Dean of Girls CHANGES When school began in the fall not only did we meet our new principal, but also several new faculty members. The new instructor in the boys physi- cal education department was Mr. Lund- berg an alumnus of Streator High, who came to Streator after three years service in the U. S. Navy. In the girls physical education department, Miss Novaria and Miss Welk filled the vacancies caused by the resignations of Miss Bird and Miss Homan. Miss Homrighous who taught English and rhetoric, also taught girls physical education classes. Mr. Magierski, a former faculty mem- ber, returned after three years service in the navy, to teach social science. Mr. Ritcher returned to the science depart- ment after one year's service in the U. S. Army. Mr. Karl Brix, Jr., a former fac- ulty member returned to take charge of the music department. MR. DALE Dean of Boys Mr. Edie is a new member of the fac- ulty in the department of the social sci- ences. Mr. George left in mid-year to become a member of the faculty at Brad- ley University. His classes were taken over by Mr. Mueller, whose classes in English were taken over by Mrs. Engle. Miss O'Hara left in October to teach in the Uni- versity of Illinois branch at Galesburg. Mrs. Martin filled this vacancy, teaching classes in English and speech. A branch of the University of Illinois was located in our high school this year. Many of our faculty members were in- structors. Several changes were made in the loca- tion of classes. The biggest change was the installation of the library in Study A. We now have shelves available for all of the books, and space in which one may study profitably. All of the school oflices are now located in the former offices and library, making a more efficient organiza- tion. 10 FACU LTY WALTER BAYSINGER B.S. and M.S., University of Illinois Vocational Agriculture KARL BRIX B.S., Syracuse University Music BERTHA ROGERS B.S., James Millikin University M.Al., Columbia University Home Economics LITTA M.

Work really does go on in Streator High School, but with fun mixed with it too. , 191 THE DATE, SEPTEMBER 10, 1946, was the first day for the freshmen who in four years would become the Class of '50'. This day was an exciting one for every boy and girl entering high school and they will remember it all of their lives. They will remember every- thing that happened-drinking fountain experiences, locks put on backwards, and the first day instructions given them by the laughing upperclassmen. Although we are the youngest class in the school, we are the largest in number-almost three hundred fifty strong. We are not as well organized as the other classes, but if you look us over you will find that we are doing our part in all of the school activities. The class got off to a good start by electing the following officers: Bob Wampler, president, June Markland, vice president, Darlene Kasko, secretary, and Ronald Cate, treasurer. With the help of our sponsor, Mr. Mueller, we gave two successful dances in the gymnasium. These helped greatly to swell our treasury. The friendships we have made, and the knowledge we have gained as typical S. H. S. freshmen make us feel that we are now a part of the school. We anxiously await our future high school years and the experiences they will bring. OFFICERS President ........................ Robert Wampler Vice President ,..,... ........

H. S. arrived in the fall of '45, Yes, we were the Green Freshies . Our class started its high school career in fine stride. Miss Ferguson was appointed class sponsor and we elected the following class officers: Earl Kauzlarich, president, Pat Darm, vice president, Marilyn Patton, secretary, and John Crego, treasurer. Due to the coal strike we were unable to hold the traditional fresh- man dance during the spring of the year. As sophomores we again settled down to hard work and took full advantage of all activities and fun offered by good old S. H. S. This year we elected the following officers: Fritz Marine, presidentg Louis Weber, vice presidentg Beverly Sherwood, secretaryg and Mari- lyn Repko, treasurer. We held three successful dances during the year and proved that we could manage our class affairs splendidly. Many of our boys gained recognition in school athletics, while many more of our class won praise in such extra-curricular activities as club work, cheer leading, or student government. Now at the halfway mark of our high school career, we again wait another cherished opportunity-that of becoming the upper- classmen of S. H. S. OFFICERS President ......................,.......

H. S. as freshmen. We were green as the proverbial grass. Remember those days of initiation and how funny we all looked! We chose Norman Estvanik, president, Dick Teas, vice president, Don Sabol, secretary, and Roderick Irwin, treas- urer. Mrs. Magierski was chosen class sponsor. Our first class dance, held in the spring of our freshman year was a great success. By the next year when we were sophomores we had decided that we were really a part of this great school. We knew at last what made the S. H. S. wheels go around. The following ofiicers were chosen: Dick Teas, president, Wes Rinker, vice president, Robert G. Car- penter, secretaryg and Mary Jane Barrett, treasurer. Another suc- cessful dance was held and we felt that we were ready to assume the responsibilities of the upperclassmen. Two hundred thirty of us returned this fall as juniors. This has been an exciting year. We chose our class jewelry, held two successful dances, had fun selling refreshments at the football games, even though it was cold-brr! We experienced the thrills of having our class members score points for us in basketball, football, baseball, and track contests. The most memorable event was the Junior- Senior Prom held in the Armory on May 16. It seems impossible that we crammed so much fun and study into one year. We also have taken advantage of all opportunities offered us as juniors and are now ready to take our place as seniors. OFFICERS President ..............................

In '43 we entered high school and were determined to prove, despite the fact that we were just freshiesf' that we could assume our duties and take an active part in the life of dear S. H. S. Early in the year with the able assistance of Mrs. Lowell Dale, our class sponsor, we organized as a class and planned our extra curricular schedule for the coming year. What a thrill we experienced when we held our first dance and realized that now we were actually sharing a part in Streator High! In the following fall we returned to school possessing the self- confidence that we had gained through a year of experience. Also during this year we became better acquainted with high school life. In sports, social life, and studies we could be found enthusiastically doing our part as sophomores. The junior year was the big year. We were now upper-classmen. We chose our class rings and began to be aware of our importance as a class and as future citizens. It was during this year that our future brightened. The war endedg the boys could now look forward to attending college instead of joining the armed forces. During this year we presented the long discussed and long awaited social event of the year -the Junior-Senior Prom-a typical school tradition. This ended another successful year for the class of '47.

This year marked many changes in school life. First we cordially welcomed Mr. Z. H. Dorland, the new principal of Streator High. Next there were changes in the school organization-new class schedules, new clubs, and new assembly pro- grams. All these, and the fact that we were now seniors meant added responsibilities, such as the publication of the yearbook and partici- pation in musical and athletic events. All of these we gladly accepted. We all loyally supported the school's projects, and after four years of waiting we busily prepared for graduation. Credits were checked with the deans, announcements were chosen, and caps and gowns were measured. Commencement activities soon began- baccalaureate, class night, and finally graduation. Then farewells were made-fare- wells to high school life with all its work, anxiety, and pleasure. Ci. We, the class of '47, were most fortunate in having Mrs. Dale as our sponsor during our four years in S. H. S. Mrs. Dale, better known to the students as Ma , has always been cheerful even in diflicult situations. She has been helpful, giving advice and assistance whenever it was needed. Our associations with her have been happy ones. As we complete our senior year we say Thank you 'Ma' for everything.

Early in the year, the prospect of a Stu- dent Council stimulated the interest of the student body, and a committee was organ- ised to formulate the general plans and the election procedure. This committee was composed of Don Seaman, Don Funk, Claire Rowland, Lura Engle, Merle Freise, Dick Sabol, Carole Hill, Dick Conner, Ed Conness, Jim Green, George Smith, and Pat Devero. Mr. Signorella acted as spon- sor for the committee. The following organization policies were formulated by this group: C11 can- didates for the various council positions shall be nominated by petitions signed by their classmatesg C23 to be eligible for a petition, a student must maintain a scholastic average of 835 C35 a petition for president must have at least 50 sig- natures, and for the other Council posi- tions, 25 signatures, C45 one freshman and nine upperclassmen representatives, a president, vice president, and secretary- treasurer shall be electedg C55 the presi- dent of the Council shall be a senior, and the vice president, a junior, f6D elected representatives and the four class presi- dents shall compose the membership of the Council. The results of the election were as fol- lows: Don Seaman, presidentg Wesley Rinker, vice president: Pat Devero, sec- retary-treasurerg George Bednar, Max Mason, William Arthur, Ray Studnicki, Carole Hill, Matty Lampson, Willedotte Brix, Ken Robinson, Ronald Applegate, Tom Robertson. These students with the class presidents, Don Funk, James Green, Fritz Marine, and Robert Wampler were the members of the Council for this year. Although it was still in its first stages of organization, the group sponsored A March of Dimes collection, a clothing drive, a safety campaign, and made a start toward arranging assembly programs for the student body. Three student dele- gates and the sponsor attended the Illi- nois Congress of Student Councils held in Chicago this spring. Mr. Edie and Mr. Signorella were the faculty sponsors of this group.

Seaman MOVIE PROJECTION CLUB For several years Mr. Edwards has been teaching a group of boys to operate the 16 millimeter projector. At the be- ginning of this school year, fifty boys formed an organization known as the Movie Projection Club with Mr. Ed- wards as sponsor. The group elected as oH'icers: Don Seaman, presidentg Don Funk, vice president, and Richard Sabol, secretary-treasurer. Each of these boys had had one or two years experience in the operation of the machine. Because of the size of the club, Mr. Edwards was not able to teach the entire group at one time. Consequently, he in- structed the boys with experience so that they might teach the others the tricks of the trade. The new members received training by operating the machine for club programs, activity programs, and in clas- ses. The advanced members operated the machine for events throughout the city. As a result of this training the school will have many students able to help in the expanding audio-visual program. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA We, the Streator Chapter of F. H. A., are proud to be affiliated with the Illinois Future Homemakers Association, an or- ganization of 452 chapters with a member- ship of 18,000. In September the Sectional Rally was held in Streator. At this meeting the new sectional officers were elected. Our presi- dent, Genevieve Dzuris, was elected vice president of the section. Meetings were held once a month. At the first meeting in October, the new offi- cers were installed at a candlelight service. At this time there was also a formal initia- tion, and a welcome to all of the new mem- bers. On October 11 the club held its an- nual dance in order to raise enough money to carry on the year's activities. The in- formal initiation was the top spot of the evening. The girls wore red and white blouses and skirts, with their pigtails tied in red and white ribbons. At the November meeting a vote was taken to give S10 to the Gift to the Yank campaign. On December 11 the annual Christmas party was held. A radio skit, Students are Dumb, was enjoyed on January 15. After the skit a song- fest was held. On March 12 Miss Florence Wahl, a local beauty operator, demonstrated the correct technique of applying make-up. Miss Bodenbach, Assistant State Super- visor of Vocational Home Economics, was a guest. She addressed the girls briefly. On Saturday, March 11, thirteen girls attended the Section Rally at Coal City. A fine program and a good time was en- joyed. The Mother-Daughter banquet was held in May. The guests were the senior girls and the officers, and their mothers. Our newly elected president, Rosemary Durdan, will be the club's representative at the State Leaders' Camp to be held at East Bay Camp, Lake Bloomington, dur- ing the week of August 12. This ends the activities of the F. H. A. girls for 1947. See you next year! Fr-ont-Ondrey, Flavel, Lesak Back-Chergoski, Dzuris, Jones OFFICERS President ................

The officers Were: Pat Warren, presi- dentg Don Palaschak, vice presidentg Wille- dotte Brix, secretary-treasurer, and Ellen Swartz, reporter. Monthly meetings were held in the auditorium. In November a one-act play, Call Me Mildred, was presented by Gene Hiatt, Alice Moerchen, Ed Conley, and Bud Hall. In December a Christmas party was enjoyed and in March the club members Were guests of the Masqueraders at their variety show. The April contest of advertising slogans was Won by Chuck Panno, Don Sabol, and Pete Tkach, who brought down the house with their singing commercials for Life Buoy Soap. The big project of the year, the pro- duction of the comedy He Couldn't Marry Five, was a gratifying success. Pre- sented under the direction of Mrs. Martin and Miss Tkach on the evening of April 10, the play Was received enthusiastically by a capacity audience.

James 'w EL CIRCULO CASTELLANO Saludos, amigo mios-The history, customs, special observances, and the social life of our good neighbors south of the border have been attracting the atten- tion of the El Circulo Castellano during the past year. At the first meeting the following offi- cers were chosen: La Presidente, Mary Jane Barrett: El Vice Presidente, Bob Snow: La Secretaria, Marge Heinz: El Tesorero, Matty Lampsong and Mrs. Dale, Adversaria. All of the members of the group took an active part in the programs, each of which was devoted to a particular phase of South American life or history. Art Castetter provided some excellent pro- grams With his accordion, illustrating the Spanish and Latin influence on American music. Mrs. Fred Sass showed relics and movies secured on her trip to Old Mexico. La Pinata, Spanish plays and games were enjoyed. With this knowledge gained concerning these, our neighbors so near, and yet so far, we should be better equipped to under- stand their ideals and aspirations as na- tions, and to regard their friendship, both national and personal, as invaluable to world security.

Riss FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The motto, Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and living to serve, was successfully carried out this year by the Streator chapter of Future Farmers of America. The organization consisting of some fifty boys was led by the follow- ing officers: Don Brown, presidentg Jack Feken, vice presidentg Joe Stevenson, sec- retaryg Willard Rinker, treasurerg Jim Gahm, reporterg and Mr. Baysinger, spon- sor. They carried on the traditional activ- ities in additional to several new ones. For the first time a local chapter con- stitution was drawn up and accepted by the club. The annual watermelon feed at Marilla Park and the F. F. A. dance were greeted with enthusiasm. Eleven hundred chicks were raised in the spring for the capon project. Considerable consterna- tion was caused throughout the school by the latter project because of the charac- teristic odor that infiltrated through the building. Amends of a sort were made for this inconvenience by presenting each woman teacher with a fresh rose. Some activities that were abandoned during the war were revived this year. Fifteen boys from Streator, along with groups from Newark and Marseilles, char- tered a bus to the national F. F. A. con- vention in Kansas City. The convention lasted five days, during which the boys attended several educational and worth- while sessions, as well as seeing the points of interest in Kansas City. The American Royal Livestock Exposition was in pro- gress during their stay. An entire bus- load of local boys took a one day trip to the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago. The manufacture of concrete hog troughs for sale among the farmers of the community was a new undertaking, as was the cider sale in the fall. Five noon lunches were held in the agriculture room. Various types of programs and recreation were enjoyed at these gatherings. This was definitely a top-notch year for a top-flight organization.

This year, however, a change was made in the organization of the staff. Underclassmen worked willingly and faithfully with the seniors in an effort to make the '47 Hard- scrabble the best ever published. The associate editor and associate business manager chosen from the junior class and representatives chosen from the jun- ior, sophomore, and freshman classes, worked with the senior staff gaining ex- perience that should make the publication of next year's book a less difficult task. The sale of books was stimulated by a Quiz Program presented before the stu- dent body. Seniors and staff members tak- ing part were: Announcer-Don Funk, Master of Ceremonies-Barney Joneng Three Bills -Bill Scott, Bill Reed, Bill Metcalf, Three Belles -Anne Dobrik, Maxine Balke, Dolores Bessermang Stage Man-Verlin Rogers. The contestants HALL QUANDT BAKER from the audience were: George Benning '50, Marianne Halfpenny '49, Rita Bacha '48, and Roy Mackey '47. The band pro- vided the musical portion of the program. The views of the school and of Hard- scrabble Hill on the Vermillion River are the work of Mr. Al Hamann, Class of '26, who graciously allowed the staff to use them. The snapshots, with the exception of a few submitted by underclassmen, are the work of the staff photographers. The commercial photography was done by the Loranne Studio of Streatorg the printing by the Anderson Printing Com- pany of Streatorg and the engraving by the Indianapolis Engraving Company. Miss Hall, the sponsor of the book, su- pervised all of the production. Miss Butz, assisted the staff in auditing the accounts.

Rogers f68 THE REVIEW Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Get your paper here. Actually there were no newspaper boys peddling papers around the school like that, but there was always astir of excitement on the morning when The Review came out. Fourteen issues of The Review, our school newspaper, were published this year, and other fea- tures were assembled to make up a well balanced publication. The Review was published bi-weekly by the two journalism classes. The re- sponsibility alternated between the two classes. The second hour class published all the odd numbered issues. and the sev- enth hour all the even ones. Every mem- ber of the class worked on each issue, and everyone had the privilege of being an editor at some time during the year. Miss Moynihan, journalism instructor, advised and supervised the staff. The Review was published this year in spite of serious handicaps. Because of diffi- culty in finding a printer, a two page paper was substituted for the usual four page of other years. This seriously hampered the efforts of the staff to try out new ideas and improve the content of the paper. Careful sifting of the news was necessary to make sure that all important items were included. Being a self-sustaining newspaper, The Review paid all of its expense from the money collected for subscriptions. About 800 students, almost four-fifths of the entire student body, subscribed to The Review. Advertisements were abolished this year because of limited space. Mr. Westlake and his vocational print- ing class did all the printing of The Re- view, and did a fine job in spite of limited facilities.

Pops gained the reputation of being one of the foremost basketball mentors in the state, while his Streator Bulldogs were regarded as tops in competition and sportsman- ship. When first coming to Streator, Mr. Dale coached both football and basketball, but in 1935 he gave up the duties of football coach in order that he might give his full time to basketball. During the Dale regime, Streator was recognized as one of the most basketball minded towns in the state. The famous '41-'42 team, which averaged 53 points per game, will long be remembered by many Streatorites as one of the best high school teams ever pro- duced in the state. Pops has many championship teams to his credit, having won nineteen district and regional tournaments. He also has sent five teams to the state finals. Although he has retired from active coaching, Mr. Dale, as Director of Athletics, controls all the school's athletic events. Pops now Works behind the scenes, arranging schedules, handling tickets, and supervising all of Streator's athletic program. Us 791 COACHING STAFF Joe RICHARDS Head football coach, Joe Richards, had a very successful season. His team won the Big Twelve championship and, through his coaching, placed two boys on the All State team. This is the second Big Twelve championship he has won. This year Joe completes his eleventh year as football coach of the Streator Bulldogs. ALBERT LUNDBERG Swede Lundberg is a new addition to the Streator coaching staf, but is not new to Streator. As a student in S. H. S., he made a great athletic record. Swede later attended the University of Illinois, where he was a member of the football team. During the war, he left a coaching position to join the U. S. Navy. Swede is the assistant football coach and during the basketball season handles the All- Staters. He is also a physical education instructor. BEN WESTLAKE Serving his first year as head basket- ball coach, Ben Westlake presented a well- groomed team to the Streator cage fans. Benny has been assistant basketball coach for the last two years and was pro- moted to head coach this year. MIKE SIGNORELLA This season Mike Signorella has com- pleted his second year as track coach. Last year his boys made splendid showings in all of their meets. In addition to his coach- ing duties, Mike is an instructor of phy- sical education.

Streator came out on the short end of a 6-0 score, but turned in a very creditable performance. Streator 13, Ottawa 0 The Bulldogs romped over Ottawa to defeat their tra- ditional rivals. One of the largest crowds in the history of the school witnessed the Streator power wagon march down the field. John Kerestes counted for both scores. St. Bede 20, Streator 7 The Bruins recovered a Streator fumble and blocked a kick which set them up for two touchdowns, the other resulting from a long march which started on their own 41 yard line. John Kerestes scored the only Bulldog tally. Streator 46, Marmion 7 The Streator Bulldogs un- leashed a powerful scoring machine which trounced the Marmion Cadets.

Johnny turned in one of the best performances of his high school football career, scoring five of the six Bull- dog touchdowns. Moose Conner scored the other touchdown. Streator 31, Danville 13 Although Streator trounced Danville there was little joy in the Bulldog locker room after the game, for John Kerestes had broken his leg. Dick Conner and Stan Mroc- zek each scored two touch- downs, while Lou Kerestes nabbed a scoring' pass from Bold. Parcher scored the ex- tra point. Streator 6, Manual 0 Playing on a wet and slip- pery field, Streator eked out a victory over Peoria Man- ual. George Bednar recovered a Manual fumble and ran to the Ram's 8 yard line before being stopped. Ted Bakalar ran around his own left end to score. The rest of the game the Bulldogs defense held the Manual backs in check. Streator 33, Mattoon 12 By romping over Mattoon the Streator Bulldogs be- came the Big' Twelve Co- Champions. Mroczek plunged over for two touchdowns while Lou Kerestes picked up another in the same man- ner. Bakalar and Conner each nabbed scoring' passes. Burrell Witko split the up- rights three times.

The team was built around four returning regulars and many boys who had seen plenty of action as reserves from the year before. Although they encountered many handicaps that might have broken the morale of other teams, the Bulldogs won the Big Twelve Championship and finished the season with a record of seven wins and two losses. Two defeats came early in the season but Streator went through all the confer- ence games without a setback to share the championship with Champaign. The road to the championship was not an easy one. In the third conference game, John Ker- estes, one of the mainstays of the Streator scoring machine, was injured and lost for the remainder of the season. Bill Scott, regular lineman, was also injured and had to miss two games, while Ted Bakalar sus- tained an injury that limited him to part time duty. But the spirit and fight of this team overcame these handicaps to win for Streator its second Big Twelve Conference championship. The Bulldogs also beat their traditional rivals, Ottawa, to retain the Rotarian Trophy for the second consecutive year. 534 wi THE BULLPUPS Coach Swede Lundberg's Bullpups turned in a very creditable performance this season to finish with a record of three wins, two losses, and one tie. The Fresh- Soph squad gained valuable experience and will supply material for future Bull- dog Varsities. Many of the boys on the Puppies had time in varsity games. The Bullpups beat the Pontiac Fresh- Soph twice. On our home field they de- feated the Pontiac lightweights 6 to O in a hard fought battle. They scored four touchdowns and four extra points to VARSITY HONORS Individual honors were received by several members of the 1946 team. Bill Reed and Johnny Kerestes won places on three of the all-state teams chosen by the sports writers of several city news- trounce the Pontiac lightweights 28 to 0 on the Pontiac gridiron. They defeated the St. Bede Fresh- Soph twice and played to a tie in a second battle. The St. Bede lightweights invaded Streator for the first of a two game series, but went home with a 12 to 0 defeat. Journeying to Peru, the Puppies were played to a 0 to 0 tie by the Junior Bruins. Although they were defeated twice by the Ottawa Junior Pirates, the Bullpups were respected as a hard lighting team. Ottawa defeated the Bullpups 19 to 7, and 20 to 14. papers. Bill was an outstanding center and Johnny a star halfback. Moose Conner was given honorable mention in the all-state polls by many of the sports writers.

Rinker 1 naflersj VARSITY BASKETBALL Ben Westlake serving his first year as head basketball coach, produced a combin- ation which thrilled the Streator cage fans. The squad was built around four return- ing letter men and many boys who had gained experience by playing on the All- Staters in previous years. Although they finished the season with a record of nine wins and seventeen losses, the Bulldogs played good ball all season and were loyally backed by the students. The record the Bulldogs made does not show the type of team which they really were. Of the seventeen losses, ten of these games were lost by only two points or were carried into overtimes. In the last few moments of these ten games vic- tory could have gone either way, but the Bulldogs seemed to have more than their share of tough luck and bad breaks. It is interesting to note that over the season the Bulldogs out-scored all their oppon- ents. The Westlake cagers made 1164 points for the season's total while their opponents scored 1148 points. Win or lose the Bulldogs always showed true sportsmanship and retained the re- spect of all the students. Returning for next year's squad will be many boys who saw considerable action this Year. This year's forward positions were ably filled by two juniors, Bob Miller and Mel Kerestes. Wes Rinker, junior center, will also be wearing the Bulldog colors again next year, as will Burell Witko, a sophomore, and Dick Teas, a junior. All of these boys won letters this year. wo 871 BASKETBALL RECORD Streator Streator Streator Streator Streator Streator Streator Streator Streator Streator Streator 31 ................,.......

His speed and tricki- ness enabled him to get off many good shots. He could always be counted on to score extra points when they were needed most. DON' BAUMAN Don used his height along with an aggressive spirit to collect many rebounds. Being an excel- lent rebounder, he also developed a deadly pivot shot which scored many points for the Bulldogs. This season Don was moved from guard to cen- ter and finished his second year on the squad. BERNARD BOLD 'tBernie started the season as a YW A THOMAS . BAUMAN BOLD REED reserve guard but through his fight soon gained a starting assignment. He was moved from forward to guard position this season, where he developed into a vital part of the Bulldog defense. This was Bernie's second year on the squad. WILLIAM REED Bill Reed started this year as a regular guard but was forced to retire from the squad because of a knee in- ury. His loss was a hard blow for the Bulldogs.

With plenty of spirit and drive Lundberg's underclassmen turned in a winning team. Their fire-wagon style of basketball, which greatly pleased the crowd, pulled them through many a tough game. All of the members of the All-Staters turned in creditable performances to finish the sea- son with a record of eleven wins and ten losses. The boys learned clean sportsmanship and the fundamentals of basketball. A few of them were advanced to the varsity in midseason. These boys dressed for both the varsity and All-Stater games and by the end of the season had time in many varsity games. Bob Gee, Ken Robinson, and Louis Kerestes all have promising varsity careers to look forward to. SCHEDULE All-Staters ...,..... a.a..... S pring Valley 33 All-Staters 39 .......

The Bulldogs faced a heavy season and trained to be in shape for the first meet. Among the seventy-five boys that re- ported to coach Mike Signorella for the first practice were six letter men. Many other boys who had previous experience also reported for the first call. Although the Bulldogs faced some stiff competition, they were able to win most of their meets. In the Peoria Central quadrangular meet two boys, Jack Parcher and John Kerestes, broke the meet record for the shot put with throws of 47 feet, 6 inches and 45 feet, respectively. George Humphrey and Dick Sauers gained many points for Strea- tor in the mile and half-mile events. The returning letter men were: Wil- lard Rinker, John Kerestes, Richard Sau- ers, Bill Reed, Jack Parcher, and Ray Studnicki. Two boys who won track letters last year were not able to participate in the sport again this year. Richard Elias, a leading miler, injured his leg this fall play- ing sandlot football.

Those who were selected trained under the direction of Miss Novaria. They led the students in cheers at a special rally held in the auditorium where new yells were introduced and practiced. By being present at all of the games this group aided and led the pep section. Streator's traditional colors were striking- ly portrayed in the girls' costumes-red wool slacks and white sweaters. The acro- M. Benning D. Seaman B. Anderson M. Semans N. Marina batic stunts were particularly noticeable. Beverly Anderson turned back Hips every time a score was made by Streator. This was tough going when the scores mounted to 32. The baton twirlers under the direction of Pat Devero made a very fine showing this year. They were present at most of the basketball and football games and supplied entertainment at the halves with formations and exhibitions of twirling. BATON TWIRLERS R. Fisher P. Devero K.

A change of Physical Education teachers this year in- evitably made a change in the club's spon- sors. Miss Novaria, assisted by Miss Welk were the sponsors this year. In addition to athletics, social functions were part of the schedule. Some of these were picnics, play days, dances, and the mother-daughter Pot Luck Supper which was held in May. The supper was a high- light in the social affairs for at that time the awards were made. A guest speaker was featured and a report by one of the oflicers was given. It might be said that a good time was had by all. A picnic was held as a get-acquainted party. Complications arose and so it had to be held at the high school field. Every- body brought a sack lunch so the food was agreeable to everyone except the persons who didn't like what they brought in their G. A. A. OFFICERS President .................,..,.........

Among the games played were: a scavenger huntg three deep, and a jolly game of Red Rover. iTo those unfamiliar with the game of Red Rover-it is a game where you ruin either your arms or your stomachj. On April 25 a Sadie Hawkins dance was given in the high school gym. Posters of the cartoon characters in the strip Lil' Abner were posted around the school and the boys got the hunted expression on their faces. They were rather tame at the dance though, and they hardly struggled at all. The dance was a success and the spirit of Sadie Hawkins lives on.

Steczek TELEGRAPHIC TOURNAMENT Miss Novaria, A. M. Langan, D. Bessernian, A. Mocrchen, A. Dobrik VOLLEY BALL Row one: R. Eurich, I. Bagy, D. Farkas, A. Moerchen, D. Bes- serman Row two: A. M.

Girls Who achieved this task were Dolores Besserman, 8-16g Anne Dobrik, 8-17g Betty Riley, 8-203 Alice Moerchen, 8-243 Anne Marie Langan, 8-24. Although Streator did not win a pennant, we ranked high in State competition. BASKETBALL The girl was dribbling down the iioor like mad when she suddenly remembered that dribbling is a violation of girls' rules. But we didn't let this stop us from having fun. Basketball was under the direction of Anne Dobrik, who made out the schedule. The championship was won by the Junior- Senior team. The girls played before an appreciative audience in the small gym, during the noon hour. f94 INDIVIDUAL SPORTS A girl may earn points for her award by taking part in outside sports in addi- tion to organized activities. Some of these sports that are not scheduled in the school program are: bowling, hiking, walking, dancing, tumbling, and roller skating. One must participate at least once a week for eight straight weeks if it is to count. The number of points which one may make in unorganized sports is lower than in organ- ized activities, but they do add to the total. BOWLING Forty girls interested in bowling went to the bowling lanes every Monday even- ing. Can you imagine what they did there? They bowled. The beginners re- ceived lessons-such as they were-from the seasoned bowlers. For a few weeks, the pin boys were having a holiday, but soon the girls got into the swing and now they are veterans at the game. The three girls who came out on top of the heap of averages were Maxine Balke, Anne Dobrik, and Anna Marie Langan. BOWLING TOURNAMENT When the notice of a telegraphic bowl- ing tournament was received by Streator, tive girls were selected to bowl in it. The scores were, to put it politely, not up to their usual par. In spite of this, of the fifty-five cities entered, our team placed in the upper half. A pennant is given to the first second and third place winners. A few years ago, Streator received one of these. We did not win a pennant this year but we were hoping. SOFTBALL In spring young mens' fancy lightly turns to baseball. They don't have a mon- opoly on this sport, for many girls are in- terested in softball. The managers, Phyl- liss Sparks and Nancy Pickworth, divided the girls into four teams. There weren't any disagreernents as to who was on first, but the umpires' decisions were often questioned. After all, what's a softball game without an argument. SOCCER Soccer is a sport in which shins suffer and a stray kicking foot can cause a lot of damage. The weather was rather damp and therefore made the gym field was a- shall we say-mess. There are some ad- vantages in playing soccer as you can guess if you have an imaginative mind, or if you happen to own the stray kicking foot, but the general feeling was Fortun- ately a full soccer schedule was not com- pletedf' Ci, TELEGRAPHIC TOURNAMENT BOVVLING CHAMPS Bach:-1, H.

A tournament was held, the results of which were not avail- able at this writing. Everyone enjoyed archery, including the trot to and from the field. GIRLS HAVE FUN Drifting along- Diving for pennies? Skip to my Lou- Asleep on the job? Guess who! l i TENNIS At the start of the tennis Season a tournament was scheduled by Betty Riley and posted on the G. A. A. bulletin board. The girls in this tournament had to play the games on their own time. The num- ber of forfeits was small compared to the number of games actually played. Every- one had a love-ly time. f96 1 V 1 1 1 Illllllllltllllfllltlll ir HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM BACCALAUREATE SERVICE-SUNDAY, JUNE I, 8 P. M.
