Miss Hall Snow, Hall, Walling, Barrett, Cipalo Writing copy and scripts for our radio auditorium program, taking snapshots, mounting pictures, planning layouts, draw- ing cartoons, and running errands were a few of the tasks we experienced as mem- bers of the Hardscrabble Staff. Sixth hour, the last period of the day, was the time we met with Miss Hall in room 210 to put our heads together in an attempt to devise, write, and revise. Our staff was organized last spring, so we were able to get off to ia good start early in September on the plans for the book. It's Ignorance That Counts, was the name of the auditorium program we gave in November. in order to advertise the book to the student body. Soon after this, the Hardscrabble solicitors were chosen and the first payment of the '48 Hard- scrabble collected in all the home rooms. Later, in February, our second and last home room collection was made by the solicitors, and by that time copy had been sent to the printers, drawings were com- pleted, layouts were being checked, and the book was well on its way to comple- tion. In April, the staff sponsored a dance in the school gymnasium. At last, in May, our plans for a year book emerged com- pleted-between these two covers.

Each home room elected a student to be its representative on the Council, and they in turn elected these officers for our student governing body: president, Norman Estvanikg Vice presi- dent, Jack Kutchesg secretary-treasurer, Nancy Stevens. The March of Dimes Campaign, the drive for A Gift for a Yank Who Gave, and Rfed Cross collections were sponsored by the Student Council. On December 19, between the halves of the Streator-Spring Valley basketball game, a Christmas pag- eant was presented. Various committees of the Student Council drew up rules and regulations for student behavior during auditorium programs and planned school safety measures. A handbook was com- piled in which information about require- ments for certain courses, membership and policies of school organizations, the school schedule and regulations, and the general traditions and policies of S. H. S. were discussed for the benefit of incoming freshmen. The Student Council also sent six stu- dent delegates and Mr. Edie, their faculty sponsor, to the Illinois Congress of Stu- dent Councils which was held in Peoria, April 23 and 24. 12 13 A BAND FLUTES Irene Bagy Sharis Havel William Voights Arthur Barackman OBOE Martha Doden CLARINETS Delores Brock Art Castetter Tony Cravatta Barbara Fellows Dolores Harter John Eisenbart Jim Hagerty David Pease Leatrice Richard Ronald Redman Darlene Munts Alice Funk ALTO CLARINET Christie McCormick BASS CLARINET Grace Ann Moore BASSOON Wallace Dunbar ALTO SAXOPHONES Bob Sellers Virgil Redman Cecil Worrells Winston Hughart TENOR SAXOPHONE Wesley Knight BARITONE SAXOPHONE Wayne Koetz FRENCH HORNS Wallace Arrington Karl Brix III Betty Davis Robert Yedinak TROMBONES James Murray Robert Drabik Richard Applegate Richard Humphrey Alois Pajak BARITONES Shirley Patterson Ronald Mascal TRUMPETS Ruth Greening Fred Offutt Dave Remy Robert Allen Wayne Frye Robert Breen Bart Wolfe Lester Gill Robert Jones Harry Dawson Ronald Winton Robert Lorey Francis Nolan James McClarey Shirley Smith BASSES William Sanford Murray Martin Verne Hughart PERCUSSION William Meyers Mary Ann Morse Harold Sparks John Challinor Craig Humphrey Ann Marie Keller Ruth Strobel This past year has been very happy and eventful for the S. H. S. band. Begin- ning in the fall, the sixty-two piece band participated in all of the home football games at which times they furnished music and colorful formations b-etween halves. Following the football season, the band traveled to Normal, where they par- ticipated in the University Homecoming Festival. During the basketball season, they furnished music and entertainment before the games and between halves. In the early part of March, the band was in- vited to play for a meeting of the D. A. R. held in the Streator Armory. May 7, the band completed their year's work, by pre- senting their annual concert. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT On Saturday, November 1, 1947, our band traveled to I. S. N. U. at Normal, Illinois, to participate in a homecoming festival. The trip was made in two char- tered buses. After marching in the par- ade, our band performed on the football field in competition with 11 other bands, and was named the .best playing band and the best marching band, for which they received two very beautiful trophies. Pat Devero, our majorette, also won a first nfedal in the field of band majorettes. After lunch the band members were guests of the University at their annual homecoming football game, at which time the honors were announced and the tro- phies were awarded. 14 15 ANNUAL SPRING CONCERT 1.

The losses were against non-conference opponents, Ottawa and St. Bede., With three injured first string players out of the game, the Bulldogs got off to a shaky start, tying one non-conference foe and losing to two in their first three games. But Coach Richards kept their morale up and, when the injured regulars returned to the lineup, the Bulldogs let loose with their power and cut down five opponents in a row. The Bulldogs held first place in the Big Twelve conference from their initial start with Peoria Cen- tral until the final game of the season when Springfield held them to a 13 to 13 tie on a muddy and wet field. Champaign beat Pekin the following day to take first place and Streator placed second. Streator opened the 1947 season against Kankakee on September 19. The husky Bulldogs fought the Demons to a 6 to 6 tie. The following week the Bull- dogs played their traditional rivals, Ottawa, and were handed a 20-14 defeat. ,, 4 O St. Bede defeated the Bulldogs a week later 13-0 in the first home game of the season. Streator entered the victory column for the first time on October 3 by defeating Marmion 14-7. On October 9 the Bulldogs won their first Big Twelve game by handing Peoria Central a 13-7 defeat. The next game found Coach Richard's athletes stunning Pekin by up- setting them 21-20. On October 24 Streator traveled to Danville and came home with a 21-14 score at the expense of the Silver Streaks. This was their third loop victory. The Bulldogs ended the last home game of the '47 season by winning from Peoria Manual 19-18. The final game of the season ended in a 13-13 tie with Springfield. Five of the Bulldogs won state-wide recognition. Cousins, Mel and Lou Ker- estes, won first team positions on the All- Star Big Twelve Team, and Burrell Witko, Reid Metzgar, and Jack Greenwood were awarded honorable mention. 16 RICHARDS BU LLPUPS The Bullp-ups under the direction of Swede Lundberg finished the season with The team was composed of freshmen and sophomores.

He spent a lot of time with the boys and taught them not only football but also clean sportsmanship. Thoroughness and perseverance were the- main characteristics of Joe's coaching. He will never be forgotten for the good teams he has turned out. COACH LUNDBERG Swede deserves praise for the coaching he did with his freshman-sophomore football and basketball squads. This is Swede's second year on the coach- ing staff, and he has won the liking of both players and fans for his splendid work and remarkable per- sonality. 4 wins and 3 losses. year's varsity.

A. is an organization to pro- mote interest in girls physical training, games, health, and sportsmanship. The goals of each member of the club are local and state awards. To obtain these, a girl must earn a required number of points in athletics, scholarship, health, and sportsmanship. The first local award, the class numeral, is given for 600 points, the second local award, the school numeral, is given for 1200 points. The two state awards, the letter I and the minature State of Illinois, are received for 1600 and 2000 points respectively. Although the G. A. A. is mainly inter- ested in athletics it also has its social side. A swimming party followed by a chili supper was held in September. This gave the girls a chance to become acquainted. On October 18, Ina DeMoss, Mary Ellen Hyduk, Bernadine Gall and the two physical education teachers, Miss Skurte and Miss Govas, attended a G. A. A. Con- ference at Peoria. There were special discussion groups for the teachers and the students in the morning. In the after- noon there were demonstrations on how to play several different games. Sixteen girls attended the play day which was held on October 2'6, at Ottawa. A Christmas splash party was held on December 14. At the party gifts were exchanged and refreshments were served. Nancy Pickworth and Anne Keller were chosen to represent the group at the G. A. A. Camp at Lake Geneva, Wiscon- sin this summer. 20 f21l' GROUPI Row 1: B. Riley, A. Holzman, P. Sparks, S. Steczek, R.

A. mem- bers, accompanied by Miss Govas and Miss Skurte, attended a play day at Ottawa. Because of the bad weather, the girls had to stay in- doors. However, a good time was had by all. The Various teams were given names of pro- fessional baseball teams. Relays, swimming, kickball and bat-ball were among the sports enjoyed. There was a late lunch and group singing before the girls left for home. The girls who made the trip were: Lois Carter, Georgia Ladtkow, Bernadine Gall, Marilyn Hozie, Ina DeMoss, Mary Ellen Hyduk, Phyllis Sparks, Marilyn Shinky, Dorothy Shannon, Nancy Pickworth, Claudette Lechner, Marilyn Thew, Charlotte Pollett, June Ferguson, Ther- esa Chergoski and Georgene Farrington. GIRLS SPORTS ARCHERY Archery was one of the iirst fall sports in which G. A. A. members could participate. It was held on Friday afternoon after school under the instruction of Mrs. Mehall. Al- though no tournament was held this year, the girls learned a great deal, and, through practice, they improved their aims. SOCCER Soccer was also an early fall sport. It was held on Tuesday after- noons after school, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Mehall. Instead of per- manent teams, the girls chose their own teams each time they played. No regular tournament was held. BOWLING G. A. A. bowling began in the lat- ter part of September under the sup- ervision of Miss Skurte. The girls met at the Streator Bowling Lanes after school on Tuesdays, and they were divided into teams. Individual scores were kept, and they were not too high because most of the girls were beginners. Both fall and winter bowling sessions were held, although there was no tournament. Nancy Pickworth and Phyllis Sparks man- aged the first session of bowling, and Marilyn Walling managed the second. Look what I did! G. A. A. Bowlers Strike-Wow! ! ! 22 U31 CROSS COUNTRY After a period of eleven years, cross country was again introduced at Streator High School under the supervision of Mike Signorella. In spite of inexperience, the harriers finished the season with a good record. The Bulldogs competed in their first meet at Geneseo on October 7. Twenty- one schools participated in this meet and Streator finished down the list with 217 points. The next day, the harriers met with Ottawa here and registered their first victory 24 to 31. On October 14, the squad traveled to La Salle and were wedged out of a victory by one point, 22 to 23. A week later on October 23, the Bulldogs reversed the situation and took a 27 to 28 triumph from La Salle. On October 29, Streator was defeated 27 to 28 by Ottawa on their home grounds. At the district meet which was held at La Salle, Dick Sauer and Ed Radatz CROSS COUNTRY qualified for the state meet by placing on the first ten in the district. The state meet was held at the Urbana Country Club. Out of the 125 candidates compet- ing for honors, Sauer placed 54th and Radatz placed 62nd.

Monthly meetings were held, and at these, mock Security Council, Atomic Commission, and General Assem- bly meetings were set up, with club mem- bers taking the viewpoints of the various members of the United Nations in the dis- cussion. The executive branch of the International Relations Club was run in a democratic manner. A steering commit- tee, made up of representative club mem- bers met weekly to plan programs and discuss club policies With the ofiicers of the club, who were: president, Matty Lampsong vice president, Stewart Kristalg secretary, Emma Lou Walling, and treas- urer, Shirley King. The club's first year was very active. It sponsored: an intensive drive for funds for the Friendship Train, a student assem- bly program on the Atomic Commissiong panel discussions on the specialized agen- cies of the United Nations, and a panel dis- cussion on the Marshall Plan presented before various organizations around the city. In April, the club presented to the public a speaker who had traveled with a group of farmers to Europe to study con- ditions there. The money from this undertakng was sent to Care, an organ- ization for emergency European relief. U63 I27l THE FRIENDSHIP TRAIN Students of Streator High, we con- gratulate you. Never before in the his- tory of our school was such a large job accomplished in so little time. The drive for money for the Friendship Train proved a big success: 32100 were collected in three days and converted to grain which was sent overseas. A section of the train arrived in Strea- tor in December, carrying delegates from the French and Italian embassies in Wash- ington. Each of the delegates, Mr. Jean Biliard of France and Mr. Nicola Geirlic of Italy, thanked the people of Streator and surrounding areas for their generous contributions, and told of the dire need of food in their homelands. Others from the Friendship Train who participated in the ceremony were Mr. Dick Long, col- umnist of the Oklahoma Star, and Mr. The big moment I Representing Thomas Slater of Oklahoma. Miss Mar- jorie Simonton of Magnolia, Illinois and Miss Emma Waldschmidt of Granville, Illinois and Matty Lampson and Jim Thies of Streator High rode into Chicago on the train as representatives of this area. Later in the year, S. H. S. received a letter from Mr. Drew Pearson, sponsor of The Friendship Train Drive, commending the entire student body and citizens of Streator for their tremendous help in accomplishing a task well worth doing.

Betty Ratliff The girls in Streator High's home eco- nomics classes did not spend all of their time with mixing bowls and tape meas- ures. They reorganized their chapter of Future Homemakers of America in Sep- tember, when the officers for the year were elected. At the first meeting Rosemary Durdan told the group of many useful ideas she had acquired as a delegate to the F. H. A. camp last summer. A Hallo-we'en party and a potluck supper were held later in the fall. At Christmas the club gave a basket of food to a needy family. In Feb- ruary, a Valentine party was enjoyed. A style show, a play, Be It Ever So Hum- ble, and a movie, The Balanced Way, were presented in the- spring as a student assembly program. Members of the Future Farmers of America assisted in the pro- duction of the play. At the closing meet- ing in May, the senior girls entertained their mothers at a Mother and Daughter Banquet. 32 33 , F. H. A. GROUP I GROUP II Row 1: E. Finger, K. Lukach, N. Mortland, Row 1: M.

Soens MOVIE PROJECTION CLUB The Movie Projection Club, under the supervision of Mr. Edwards, consists of boys from all four classes who are inter- ested in learning how to operate the 16 millimeter projector. For several years, members of the club have been showing educational films before different classes, assemblies, and organizations. In addition to operating movie pro- jectors, the club members learned how to operate the new opaque projector which was recently purchased by the school. This projector does not require film, but has a frame on which any picture or other printed material may be placed and en- larged on the screen. The opaque pro- jector will be very useful to the various school departments. AERONAUTICS CLUB Off we go-to salute one of our new- est clubs, the Aeronautics Club. This was its first year of organization, and Harold Cupples was elected club president, and Carl Erler, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Ed- wards, the adviser, instructed the club just as he would instruct a regular class. Texts were used and weekly assignments were made. Information on Aeronautics schools and the Army Air Corps, C. A. A. flight rules, principles of flight, principles of meteorology, and the types of construc- tion materials used in airplanes were the topics of discussion during club meetings. Construction of a wind tunnel for conduct- ing experiments in conjunction with the study of flight principles Was begun. With such a good start-let's keep 'em flying! 4 35 AERONAUTICS CLUB CAMERA CLUB Row one: W. Dailey, K. Osterdock, D. Novak, C. Erler, P. Shipitsky, J. Overocker Row two: H. Cupples, F. Oifut, B.

The Camera Club was a brand new organization this year, and its purpose was to install and promote an interest in photography among the stu- dents. Meetings Were held every second and fourth Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00. James Gaisford was the presi- dent, Alice Moerchen, vice president, and Bill Case, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Muel- ler was the faculty sponsor of the group. After business meetings, practical and theoretical programs were given through lectures, demonstrations, and movies. From March 22 to April 9, the club spon- sored a photographic contest for the whole school. Pictures were judged by a group of faculty members and profession- al artists from Streator. First and sec- ond prizes were given in each class, and theprizes were based on the percentage of entry fees. ' Contrary to belief, a camera was not needed for club membership, the club hopes to extend its enrollment next year. Row one: A. Pouk. G. Dokken, A. Moerchen, M. Heinz, P. Novotney, L. Gill, J.

Gossip???? There's plenty of both in our school paper, the Review, which is published by the journalism class. Regular school credit is given to members of this class. This year during the first hour the Review staff met with Miss Moynihan in Room 126. There they compiled the news of school activities and the latest choice gossip, all of which appeared in this bi-weekly paper. Student subscriptions were taken in homerooms early in the year by the staff members, who also deliverd the papers to the students. Under the guidance of Mr. Westlake the boys in the print shop printed the Review. So you see that it is strictly a student publication. STAFF Joe Badgett Robert K.

Coached by Ben Westlake, the Bull- dogs got off to a shaky start, but they came along fast at the close of the season to compete in the finals of the La Salle sectional. This was the first time since 1942 that a Bulldog team had gone to a sectional tournament. Among the highlights of the season was the Bulldog 52-51 victory over Pekin. This was the only defeat suffered by the Chinks in their entire regular season. Along with defeating Pekin, the Bulldogs established a brilliant record over Illinois Valley teams, taking two game series over Ottawa, La Salle, Spring Valley, and Mar- seilles. Streator started the season with a hard fought victory over Spring Valley 54-48, and finished with an easy win from Peoria Central, 63-31. The Bulldogs won 11 of 21 games scheduled during the regular season. The regional tournament which was held at Ottawa, found the Bulldogs in top shape. Streator won from Seneca in the opening game 54-44. The semi-final game was played against our traditional rival, Ottawa. After a to-ugh battle, the Bull- dogs came out on top, 55-48, for the third win over Ottawa in the season. The final night of the regional the Bulldogs met a strong team from Minooka. Streator proved too powerful for them and won, 49-38, for the championship. The following week Streator played Waterman, a strong quintet, in the sec- tional tournament at La Salle. After a thrilling overtime game, the Bulldogs again proved their strength with a 48-47 win. The following night, the champion- ship game was played against La Salle. The Bulldogs started out slow, but came back in the final quarter to- within 3 points of the Cavaliers, but time ran out and the Bulldogs lost a hair raiser, 42'-37. s Q Q . 40 41 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Streator .........,..............

He showed plenty of class with his left-handed shots and trick passes. Bob was a cool-headed player who could make free throws when they were needed most. MELVIN KERESTES Mel, undoubtedly one of the tough- est rebounders on the squad was always watched closely by opposing teams. He was an aggressive player with fast reac- tion timing. Mel , an all-conference footballer, carried his speed, drive, and energy to the basketball court. RODN EY KAIN Rod came to Streator this year after playing for three years on the varsity team at Melvin, Illinois. Not enough credit can be given to his sensational long shots that had the happy faculty of win- ning games. Rod was tough on both offense and defense and could be counted on to get defensive rebounds. WESLEY RINKER Wesley Rinker, 6'5 rangy pivot man, saw action with the regular varsity until injuries forced him to retire from his regular position. Grab that ball! Get that rebound!

They averaged 33.12 points per game. Coached by Albert fSwedeJ Lundberg, the All Staters made series sweeps against Marseilles, Ottawa and St. Bede. Although organized primarily to de- velop future talent for the varsity, the All Staters always managed to furnish the fans with some lively entertainment. The All 'Staters boasted one of the best underclass teams in many years and the regular live consisting of Don Rinker, Tom Robertson, Ro-n Cate, Darrell Holcomb, and Don Koenig developed so well during the season that Ben Westlake promoted them to reserve positions on his Bulldog squad.

A. organization, Streator High's ag students learn the fundamenta.ls of successful farming and of good citizenship. Many of the club's social activities have become traditional in the life of the chapter. However, each year finds the addition of new activities and projects. A watermelon feed in Mar- illa park was held early in September in honor of the incoming freshmen. At this get-acquainted meeting the following offi- cers were elected: president, Jim Gahmg vice president, Dale Wanting, secretary, Richard Geisholtg treasurer, Thomas Dur- dang and press reporter, Floyd Riss. These oflicers attended the sectional oflicers' training school at Joliet High School later in September. The group sponsored their annual school dance with an added attraction- apple cider. During the year, numerous trips with the F. F. A. trailer were made to secure foundation project animals at purebred sales held within one hundred miles of Streator. Many of the boys joined in chartering a bus in order to attend the International Livestock Show in Chicago. Lunches with individual committees in .it charge were held in the tunnel after the noon club meetings. The freshmen members of the chapter, as a Whole, had an unusually strong selec- tion of both crop and livestock projects. The club continued its capon projects with 700 cockerel chicks. The twelve boys producing the ten heaviest capons will be entitled to go on the annual summer camp- ing trip in Wisconsin. A new project un- dertaken this year Was an apiary of ten colonies of bees, which was located on Jim Gahm's farm. In cooperation with the University of Illinois, seniors from the agriculture de- partment did some practice teaching at S. H. S. this year. Mr. Baysinger and his, classes enjoyed the assistance of Paul Dotz in the fall, and James Evans and John Stubblefield in the spring. Streator High is proud of its progres- sive F. F. A. organization and to it and Mr. Baysinger, the club adviser, We wish a successful future. E431 49 F. F. A.

Over 50 candi- dates appeared for the first practice ses- sions. After weeks of hard practice and drill, the squad shaped up to form a good pitching, catching, and fielding combina- tion. With 15 returning veterans from last year and many new faces, Coach Muel- ler had many good prospects from which to choose his starting team. Many under- classmen who reported for the team, gained valuable experience for next year's squad. Along with the regular schedule, the Bulldogs met Lostant here in the sub-dis- trict tournament, to determine which team would go to the state. The following seniors were members of this year's squad: Alvin Wiggett, Ger- ald Harcharik, Wesley Rinker, Norman Estvanik, Melvin Kerestes, Gene Hoag, Jack Glenn, Dale Ogden, Matty Lampson, and Rodney Kain. LEONARD MUELLER Leonard Mueller, who has been a member of Streator High School fac- ulty for the past few years, made his first start as baseball coach this season. With only a few returning lettermen, Lenny produced an aggressive and hard fighting team. 50 51 Row one: Simons, Radatz, Phillips, Sauer, Kaschak, Panno, Kotansky, Greenwood, Green, Studnicki Row two: Davis, Grossman, Brickert, Helander, Barton, Barickman, Bacha, Spivey, Dawson, Smrcka Row three: Beavers, Chadd, McIntyre, Barickman.

The Bulldogs, hampered by bad weather, had only a few days of practice before they engaged in their first meet against Wood- ruff High of Peoria. They were defeated by their opponents but with the will to never say die , the boys never gave up and were always fighting to the finish.

They could participate as long as they attended the games regularly. G. A. A. members earned points toward their awards during these sessions. Tues- days and Wednesdays after school were reserved for these sports. SOFTBALL Softball, under the supervision of Miss Govas began late in April. Teams were selected and captains were chosen. The teams played each other until only one undefeated team remained. The games were held on Tuesday nights after school. TENNIS Tennis began in the latter part of April. No tournament was held, and no instructions were given. The girls chose their own partners for singles or doubles and kept their own scores. SWIMMING Swimming began last fall and extended through Winter and spring. The girls met o-n Monday nights after school and later, after school on Wednesdays. In- structions were given, and points were earned by G. A. A. members. Swimming was under the direction of Miss Skurte. American Red Cross Swimming Skill Tests were given this year in the swim- ming classes. The girls who passed the final tests were: Sharis Havel, Phyllis Kacinski, Arlene Berta, Nancy Piercy, Vernabelle Robertson, Lucille Melvin, Joanne Hinds, Marilyn Werner, Marjorie Voights, Irene Cremean, Mary Ann Carey, Eleanor Leis, Nancy Pickworth, Janette Patrick, Jane Markland, Phyllis Wilkin- son, and Beverly Anderson. 'x ho l l IllElllURIES Star Dust was the theme we chose for our Junior Prom, which was held Friday evening, May 16, 1947, in the Streator Armory. Traditionally, invitations were extended to every eligible junior and senior in the school. Dates were made . . . and a few were changed. Committees planned and worked until the very last minute. But it was well worth the eiort, for the orchestra's mellow tunes, the twinkling tin-foil stars on the midnight-blue backdrop, the fragrance of flowers, the girls in grace- ful formals whisking across the floor, the thrill we had as we participated in the stately grand march, and the sadness we experienced during the last dance . . . all signified that our prom was everything we hoped it to be. Our Star Dust Prom exists only as a memory . . . one of the most important and significant memories of our high school days. 56 PEUPLE HT S. H. S WHERE THE AND WHAT THEY DID 58 59 MR. Z. H. DORLAND PRINCIPAL Tie basic fundamental principle that guides all our work in Streator Township High is based on the belief that every boy and girl has been created to be a helper of man not his rival. It is our sin' cere hope that when our students leave school to enter a trade, a business, or a profession they will be successful and, therefore, happy because they are able to fulfil the obligations of independent citizens in a free society.

Of this number, 229 were seniors, 240 were juniors, 274 were sopho- mores, and 271 were freshmen. The students were introduced to a changed program of hour-long classes, with six periods a day. The home room was also changed. Instead of having large study halls for home rooms, students were placed in class rooms during home room period, which was the first thing in the morning. In this way each teacher automatically became an associate sponsor for the glass of which his home room students were mem- ers. The teachers assisting the senior class sponsor were Mrs. Borglin, Mr. Edwards, Mr. List, Mr. Mar- tin, Mr. Ramp, and Mr. Lloyd. Miss Moynihan, Mr. Trepanier, Mrs. Patterson, Mr. Richter, Mr. Witt, Miss Riegel, and Mrs. O'Neil were associate spon- sors for the junior class. Sophomore associate sponsors were Mrs. George, Mrs. Dale, Miss Bash, Mrs. Swanson, Mrs. Brix, Miss Tkach, Miss Mahoney, and Mr. Snow. Miss Cadwell, Miss Morris, Miss Homrighous, Mr. Magierski, Mr. Edie, Miss Butz, Mr. Piper, Mr. Westlake, and Mr. Richards were the associate sponsors of the freshman class. In addition to these, a group made up of agri- culture students from all four classes was under the supervision of Mr. Baysinger during home room period.

Our memories as freshies in '44, experiencing initiation, and learn- ing what it was all about were soon replaced by the sudden realization that we were no longer the youngest class in S. H. S., and as sophomores, we were able to take advantage of more of the good times and opportunities offered by our school. Studies and events came faster and faster until we found our- selves choosing our class jewelry, on prom committees, assisting with publications, and being recognized as true upper class- men. We went to football and basketball games, and watched our classmates score points. We also began thinking of plans after graduation, but not too seriously, for we looked forward to our last year of SENIOR OFFICERS President .....,,,.... Melvin Kerestes Vice President--Rosemary Retoff Secretary ...................... Bob Miller Treasurer .... Rosemary Chergoski RETOFF MILLER KERESTES CHERGOSKI high school as one of the biggest events in our lives. Suddenly it was almost over-and it seemed impossible that four years could slip by so quickly. Our assignments seemed longer than ever, outside clubs and activities took more of our precious time, and the glorious rush of being' seniors engulfed us. Graduation invita- tions were chosen and ordered, we ar- ranged for our caps and gowns and then concentrated on enjoying our last days as students in Streator High. Our last prom, final exams, Baccalaureate and Commence- ment crept up on us in no time-and now it's all over. We have memories, yes, and we have the future. Even though plans for college or a job now have prominent places in our minds, we, the seniors of 1948 will never lose the memories of the many events which made Streator High the center of our lives for the past four years. l'78l 79 MRS.
