ENPO LLM5 MET O '36 H Sgmusllfo '875 We have just cause to be proud of Streator High. Since its founding in 1875, its enrollment has grown stead- ily and there have been many enlarge- ments and improvements made over the first building. The school has always played an important part in community life. To underclassmen this scene will be a familiar sight for a few years, but for seniors the carefree days of high school are over. In this, the 1954 Hardscrabble, we tell of our last year at Streator High. V ,ikLx,:74w1.,kx , E .. We give you the 1954 Hardscrabble, a record of the past year at Streator High School. On these next few pages we have tried to include memories of the Homecom- ing celebration, dances, and other social events of the year which will remind us of every phase of high school life from Home- coming in the fall to the autographing of yearbooks on' the last few days. We hope you get as much enjoyment looking at your 1954 Hardscrabble as we have had Working on it. WE REGISTERED... J . L -lb .

Streator High School has many activities in which its students can participate. A week rarely goes by when there isn't some big social event sponsored by one of the many organizations. Among the activities which take place during the year is the Homecoming celebra- tion with a pep rally, parade, game, and dance. After the football games, we have informal dances. During the basketball season we go to sock hops. In the spring, the Junior Prom is held and is always looked forward to for many Weeks in advance. These things, along with plays, operettas, band concerts, and club projects, make up the activities of Streator High School.

After a snake dance around a huge bonfire, the crowd displayed their school spirit further by gath- ering in the downtown dis- trict, where the pep session continued. HOMECOMING . . This year's Homecoming was bigger and better than ever before. As has been the custom for the last few years, the Homecoming weekend was spread over a three-day per- iod, from October 1 to 3. Homecoming got underway with a pep rally and bonfire on the high school field. The football coaches, team captain, Student Council president and various class representatives gave pep speeches. van, Mary Lamagno, Nancy Lechner A critical moment during the Homecoming' game On Friday afternoon school was dismissed early and a parade was held. Twenty differ- ent clubs displayed floats, and individual students entered decorated cars, all of which carried out a theme of Welcome Alums or Beat St. Bedef' the latter being our oppon- ent for the Homecoming game that evening. Despite the fact that the Bulldogs lost this game 24-14, a fine turnout appeared at the annual Homecoming dance, which was held on Saturday night in the Armory. Danc- ing from 9:00 till 12:00 to the music of Jimmy Featherstone and his orchestra was enjoyed by a crowd of approximately four hundred. Highlights of the Homecoming were the crowning of Mary Jane Crone as Homecom- ing Queeng the selection of the Junior Class fioat, with the theme Fruits of Victory- Ashes of Defeat, as the winner of the class divisiong and the choice of the Latin Club float as winner of the prize for the best club float, with the theme of Diana Killing the Bruins carried out. lflll One of the many-the D.

Some of these programs are put on by the stu- dents, and others are presented by profes- sional entertainers and speakers who make a practice of giving such programs. Since the assembly budget is limited, We can have only a certain number of assem- blies presented by professional entertainers. The paid auditoriums range from speakers ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Bill Farrare and Jim Armstrong Wowed the students as Martin and Lewis in the annual Student Talent Show and pianists to dancers, sports exhibitions, and singing groups. Such programs are ar- ranged for through a school assembly service. Some of the most enjoyed auditorium programs of the year are those which are put on by students. A few of the clubs pre- sent short plays or skits, which are usually student written and directed. Also there are sports-award programs, scholarship recog- nition programs, and an annual Student Talent Show. Lowell Beck, a sophomore at Bradley University, Peoria, was guest speaker for the Senior Recognition Assembly WAY' . Lw 13 F141 SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS The cast of the all-school play, t'Headin' for the Hills School presentations are an important part of the life of S. H. S. students. Each year the speech department sponsors one all- school play. There is no tradition as to what type of play this should be, and as a result we have witnessed comedies, melodramas, and hill-billy plays in the past few years. At the present time efforts are being made to build up the speech department presenta- tions. Other groups which provide activities for many throughout the year are the Glee Clubs. These groups present the annual Christmas assembly program. In the spring of the year the more experienced singers pre- sent an operetta. These activities are the result of much hard work on the part of the students, but the pleasure and satisfaction received are re- warding. 4 1 Scene from the Q Christmas program presented by the Girls' Chorus Queen Sally Moore and King Larry Iiampson at the Get-Acquainted Hop From the beginning of school in the fall and throughout the school year, the students enjoy many dances. After football games, informal dances are held in the gymnasium. During basketball season sock hops attract students to the Armory on nights after home games. Special attractions at some of these dances have been mystery melody contests, dancing contests, talent shows, and other types of amusement to add variety. DANCES A gathering place for high school stu- dents is the Y. M. C. A. Hub on Saturday nights. Dancing is a weekly feature which gathers boys and girls alike to this student center. Besides these many informal dances which are held throughout the year, We have a Christmas Formal and a spring Prom. Both of these are big events and are in prepara- tion for many months in advance.

Mr. Brix organized a summer band which played at the Ottawa- Oglesloy and Wenona Centennials. Alumni, incoming freshmen and present students made up this band. :rn 1 1 rruolx 1 L 4 nr 'VIue tx E.

U61 Then, beginning in September and continuing until February the regular band played for foot- ball and basketball games. Moving the basketball games to the Armory provided a problem of trans- portation, which was solved by using two school buses to get back and forth between the high school and the armory. The band had numerous other engagements, such as playing for the Y. M. C. A. basketball tournament, auto and hobby shows, Streator High Homecoming parade. and the annual concert in the spring. Much of the credit for the success of the band goes to Mr. Brix. whose never-ceasing work for the band is appreciated by all. BRASS SECTION DRUM MAJORS Left to Right: James Pouk.

The B Band, or starting band, is made up of those who have not had any training on their in- struments. The I Band is the intermedi- ate band, made up of those who have had some training, but not enough to be in the A Band. The two bands combined and gave an auditorium in the spring and showed their progress to the whole school. DANCE BAND THE SERENADERS The Serenaders, Streator High's Dance Band, under the direction of Mr. Karl Brix, developed into a very fine organization this year. Organized two years ago, the band has shown progress every year by practicing every Monday, Wediiesday and Thursday morning during homeroom period. The Serenaders played for many of the high school's activities, such as the Student Tal- ent Show and dances, as well as out-of-town engagements in Ottawa. Front Row: T. Malhieu, M. Weth. A.

DORLAND The conditions under which the individual citizen today makes a living and builds a life are constantly changing. Public policy at home and abroad has to be adjusted to social forces that are often novel, baffling, and at times even sinister. Crowded into the lives of our generation are problems whose solution will affect the fate of mankind into the far future. Our civilization requires of the indi- vidual citizen and of those in places of leadership alike, a broad understanding of the moving forces of our time, a capacity for clear analysis of social situations, the ability to employ the social skills essential for communication and cooperation, and a willingness to act and to assume respon- sibility. It is our sincere hope that we have succeeded in develop- ing these skills and attitudes Within our students to a degree that will make it possible for them to become good citizens in our great American Democracy. l36l Superintendent Superintendent MR.

Early in the year another counter was set up that cut the serving time in half. The price of the plate lunch was reduced to 30 cents. At midyear a fully automatic dishwasher, a 20- quart capacity electric mixer, and a bench- type automatic potato peeler were installed. Plans are now being made to redecorate the cafeteria, and a permanent 22-foot counter will be installed.

At all times, may your actions be guided by honesty, open-mindedness, and a striving toward friendliness and helpful- ness in your relations with everyone. All good wishes go with you in maintaining throughout life those high standards prac- ticed during high school days. The graduating class of 1954 expresses its heartfelt thanks and gratitude to you, Miss Tkach, who have worked alongside of us as our class sponsor. Without your help, we would never have accomplished the many Wonderful things we have done, especially our Junior Prom. May your mes- sage live within our minds throughout our lives. THE CLASS OF '54 When We were freshmen, It was our fashion To dash through the halls, The seniors a'crashing. We knew all the ropes By our sophomore year, And considered ourselves Quite debonair. As snappy juniors We gave our prom, Which made a smash Like an atom bomb. We're seniors now f And the cream of the crop. We've reached our goal, Which is the top. As we say good-bye To our high school days, We leave this building In a tearful haze.

A free-will contribution was taken at four of the home basketball games. Sheets were carried around by the members of the S Club. Approximately S5340 was col- lected. The boys also sponsored the faculty basketball game, an annual game played between the Jaycees and members of the faculty, donated their time to usher at the Golden Gloves, and sold Scotch Lite Stickers of the Bull- dog. The S Club is more or less an honor club. To be a full-fledged member, a candidate must be a major letter win- ner.

All contin- uity and routines are written by the girls. Occasionally guests are invited to perform at the shows. This year Fairyland was the theme of the ballet, held April 29, 30 and May 1. Carol Lechner was in charge of the programs, Martha Holmes was chairman of the publicity committee, June Immel was head of costuming, and Martha Houltram planned the scenery. The club has participated in many activities this year. In the fall try-outs were held for potential members. Ten new girls were accepted and then initiated by the ten old members. The reorganized club started a scrapbook and entered a float and a car in the Homecoming Par- ade. The members also planned to visit the University of Illinois to see its Ter- rapin Club Swim Show in the spring. Dur- ing the year they spent their time learn- ing new stunts and strokes.

Ryan SPANISH CLUB El Circulo Espanol includes students of first and second year Spanish. Gen- eral objectives are to create and stimu- late a fuller interest in Spanish life, lit- erature and customs, as well as to direct ability to hear, speak, read and write Spanish. The capable officers were President, Barbara Bryang Vice Presi- dent, Neil Ryang Secretary, Betty Han- seng and Treasurer, William Cutlip. Meetings were held on the second Thursday of each month in Room 117. The club program used a Calendario de Fiestas, commemorating important an- niversaries and special days. Skits, current events, games and crossword puzzles were entertaining and interest- ing. Spanish periodicals proved helpful in collecting Realia. Special recognition was given to students who had participated in the Spanish Competitive examinations, and also to the students having a perfect attendance record. Through a knowl- edge of Spanish, a new field of activity lies ahead for the ambitious student, who can feel that he is a link, however small, in Pan American solidarity: Buen Viaje! Front Row: l'.

The Student Council sponsored the third annual Homecoming celebration, Student Government Day, Tag Sock Hop, conces- sions at the Golden Gloves Tournament, and blood donations by seniors to the Red Cross. Every year the council sponsors the follow- ing auditorium programs: Senior Scholar- ship Recognition Program, the Student Tal- ent Show, and an auditorium program pre- sented by members of the council during American Brotherhood Week. Members of the council attended both the district and state conventions, held in For- rest and Chicago respectively. Ken Majer- chin was elected District President at For- rest November 14. On the extreme left are members who have been on the council for two or three years. The two year members are: Dick Petrotte, Neil Ryan, Bob Sandine, Ken Majerchin, Al Fincham, Ruth Batkiewicz, and Mel Treschak. The three-year member is Marilyn Ayers. On the near left is Mr. Robert Edie, who is the advisor of the council. He started this worthwhile organization seven years ago. Under his excellent supervision and guid- ance the council has achieved many great goals. The upper right is an informal snap of members of the council decorating the Annual Christmas Tree being- decorated Christmas tree outside the Main Oflice. It seems to be a tradition around the school to have a Christmas tree and music in the halls before vacation.

A. is a very active organiza- tion. Meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of the month. In the winter the boys work in the shop on projects. This Year the boys made hog troughs and sold them to farmers. The boys also bring machinery from home and repair it in the shop. They have a Welder to do the heavy work on broken parts. Another thing they do for farmers is to test soil. There is no charge for this, and the boys gain information and experience by doing it. Front Row: Herbert Bacon, C. Bedci, P. Baiettn, B.

A. conven- tion in Champaign, and at Marseilles there was an oiificers' training camp. Every F. F. A. chapter has eight chapter commit- tees under which it operates. It was at the convention at Champaign that each oflicer learned how to direct the various committees. The most important activity of the F. F. A. is the Junior Swine Herd Improve- ment Association. This is a part of the F. F. A., but it has separate officers. The officers are President, Howard Smith, Vice President, Neil Emmy Secretary, Wayne Britton, Treasurer, Jack Richards. The SENIORS AND THEIR PROJECTS . . . main objective of this association is to im- prove the efficiency of hog raising. The club has sixteen sheep on share. The boy who has the sheep will keep all the wool and half the lambs. The club also has two gilts and eight colonies of bees. Each year a different boy is provided with a gilt. The boy raises the litter and passes on a gilt and a market hog back to the club. Even though the club members are busy working, they have time for relaxation. They attended the International Livestock Show in Chicago, sponsored the Donkey Basketball game, and had a joint party with the F. H. A. All through the year the boys work to pre- pare themselves for the future of the agri- cultural world around them. TOP TO BOTTOM: Tor T0 B0'l l'0M: Tor 'l'O IIOTTOM: E. Trainor D. McMullen M.

Mary Walter represented the club at the F. H. A. Leadership Camp held at Lake Bloomington in July of 1953. ' Among the many activities in which the club participated were selling Christmas cards and hav- ing candy sales as money-making projects. During 4 a .262 . ,Q r Nutrition Week members of the club joined with the Future Nurses' Club in displaying nutrition posters, which were explained to the students during home- room. A Mother-Daughter Banquet was held in the spring, at which time the club installed the new ofiicers for the following year. A rally of all of Section 19 schools was also held in the spring, as was a square dance with the Future Farmers of America. This year the Future Homemakers of America are joining in the Synopsis of Streator High presented to the eighth graders in the public schools. Their duty is to tell them about the F. H. A. Club. wi D. E. CLUB This year's club had the largest member- ship since it started three years ago. Twenty- two members work in nineteen different stores. They started the year with a new classroom and additional display equipment. The club won honorable mention in the Homecoming Parade with its Ace of 'Em All float. A big event was the Mystery Couple Soc Hop suggested by Jay Mathias and Marge Farrington. Clues were given daily to stim- ulate interest in trying to identify the mys- tery pair. They turned out to be Mr. and Mrs. Scriven, teachers at S. H. S. Charlene Crawford and Jay Mathias were chosen delegates to the state convention of D. E. Clubs in Illinois. Roger Gotch and Phyllis Promenschenkel also attended with Mr. Crum, club advisor. A project was dis- played by the Streator club, showing train- ees on-the-job at the local stores.

S. will readily believe this was the theme used this year, for the REVIEW tells you anything you want to know. In it you find news on all class activi- ties, conferences attended by teachers, con- ventions and meetings of students, sports events, club activities, coming events, and, last but not least, current student news Cbet- ter known as gossipj.

Wahl of the large enrollment this year, two clas- ses were formed with twenty-five in each. The main objective of these classes is to teach the fundamentals of newspaper work. Since each year brings a new staff, it takes at least the first six weeks to prepare a suc- cessful publication. The two classes work co-operatively all year, beginning at the Hrst of the year with subscriptions, which are taken individually. This places responsibility upon each member. The price this year was 351.50 for the thir- teen REVIEWS which were issued. Another means of financing the REVIEW, aside from sl'l l'lNc:: F. Brown D. Hilliard M. A. Wargo M, Holmes STANDING: J.

Collecting advertisements pre- pared by merchants of the city trains the journalism students in meeting the public, an important part of the work of a good journalist. The REVIEW itself is only a joint class project, an activity in addition to the regu- lar study of journalism. The four-page pub- lication, under the editorship of a different student each time, is published and dis- tributed bi-weekly throughout the year. Special issues have six pages. In this way. each individual, as editor. learns the respon- sibility of meeting a deadline,,' something J. White, N, Bunn, D, Ingalsbe, J. Keating, M. A. Masley, S. Luke, E' Singer! P' Mitchel Gwinn, J. Lucas which must be met frequently in real-life newspaper work. This deadline is enforced further at the end of the year when everyone makes a REVIEW as an individual project. In this project, actual newspaper style is used. An ability to work with others which is learned at the beginning of the year with joint pub- lishing of the REVIEW, helps the journal- ism student to find news and present it effectively. The taking of pictures on these projects by the students themselves, fur- thers their knowledge of art and photog- raphy. M. Brasstield, J. Carbone, G. l, L. Haar, B. Seroka. S.

S. in 1952 under the sponsorship of Miss Margaret Wilson, and is sponsored this year by Mr. Will Case. The purpose of the society is to recog- nize and promote achievement in any area of speech. On the recommendation of their respective teachers in the English Department, new members were chosen from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. The society is open to members of these classes only and had a member- ship of thirty this year. The new members were initiated in an impressive candlelight ceremony in the school library on the evening of January 12 of this year. The club meets twice each month to discuss business matters of the society, ways in which to finance the club, and, among other things, Ways in which to improve speech standards in everyday use. The Masque and Gavel Society spon- sored an assembly in April. The students in the play presented were entirely from the society. wi OFFICERS President .............. ....... M .

The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs joined hands and sponsored a dance which was en- titled Kandy Kane Kapersf' Each club was given a certain job in making the dance a successful event. The Tri-Hi-Y's and Teen Y's presented a Mother-Daughter Stunt Night. Each group gave a little skit directed and produced by their club members. The Beta Tri-Hi-Y sent Joanna Sopko, Martha Engle and Betty Hansen to attend the Workshop which was held at Naperville in the fall. ALPHA CSenior Girlsj lfront Row: li. Bzitkiewicz. J. White, B.

Among these were swimming, lectures, movies and various speakers. The Tricksters Hi-Y Club members visited the Officers' Training School in Nap- erville. The Tricksters were quite active this year. Some of their activities included hayrack rides, swimming, basketball, and the selling of tickets for the Kandy Kane Kapers formal dance, held during Christ- mas vacation. Members of this Hi-Y helped the Y's Men at the Y Camp. The Hub Council is composed of two members at large, and one member of each Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Club, plus the co-editors of the Huh Dub. The members are as fol- lows: Delta, Judy Gaisford, Gamma, Alice Adamson, Beta, Ruth Drapp, Kappa, Ebby Singer, Alpha, Noel Gardner, Tricksters, Jack Clark, Spartans, Bud Elias, co-editors, Amy Mull and Martha Engle, representatives for the Hub-at-large, Ed Swartz and Dick Barrett. This year the Hub Council spon- sored the second beauty contest held during the valentine season. The president of the Hub Council is Bud Elias, the vice president is Ruth Drapp, and the secretary-treasurer is Alice Adamson. The Hub this year can boast of a highly interesting meeting place for the students on Saturday nights. Various kinds of enter- tainment were provided. Among these were such interesting musical entertainers as Jack Watts' dance band, George Nichols' dance band, and our own high school dance band. Although the Y Clubs are not affiliated with the high school, they have played an important part in the lives of the high 'school students. SPARTANS Front Row: J. lngalsbe, 'l'. Kimes, J. Huol, J.

The International Relations Club, although not affiliated with the high school, is still a prosperous organization. The meetings of the I. R. C. are held every week at the Y, with Miss Bash as its sponsor. The first event of the club was an Alumni Dinner, which was held Decem- ber 28. Approximately sixty alumni and members were present for the dinner. The guest speaker of the evening was from India. He gave a very interesting talk to the group and helped to bring about a better understanding of the people of India. Entertainment was presented by members of the group and was enjoyed by all. At another meeting Mrs. Patterson, General Science teacher at S. H. S., gave an educational talk and showed slides of her visit to England. She was an exchange teacher for a year and had many wonderful experiences while she was there. lfrcmt Row: li. Bryan. M. Holmes, li. Tiblilvs, M. Km-nnvlly. li. Brennan, J. White, J. Norvcll. l'.

One of the projects of the club was a candy sale, held at noon in the high school. A very tricky idea was carried out in the selling of basketball stationery with the basketball players and Coach Freeman's pic- ture on it. This was a very profitable money- making project.

The annual Hardscrab- ble skit, Fishnet, was a hilarious success, and for the first time one thousand books were sold. The skit was Written by Amy Mull and starred all members of the staff. The production of the Hardscrabble has been divided into four departments: Busi- ness, Literary, Typing, and Art and Photog- raphy. The business division is headed by the business manager, whose major jobs are the balancing of the books and selling copies of the Hardscrabble. The literary department is responsible for all the copy that goes into the book. Each person is given different assignments and must make Vw .I K ,jj ls sure that his copy is in on time. The typists are given the job of typing all the copy that the literary staff completes before it is sent to the printer. The artist worked hard this year drawing all the various illustrations for the book. Most of the pictures in the book were taken, developed and printed by the photographer. Atlhough there is a lot of work involved in the production of such a yearbook, the whole staff derived much fun and enjoy- ment from the experience. We can only hope that you have as much pleasure in glancing through your book as we have had in bring- ing the book to you. xi, E!

Ganzer COACHES George Ashworth, Gaston Freeman, Ralph Ganzer, Thomas Henderson, Albert Lund- berg, Leonard Mueller, and Francis Mclner- ney have composed the coaching staff for the 1953-'54 school year. George Ashworth, who coached in Streator in 1944, returned in 1951 and has been coaching here ever since. He has served as the head football coach dur- ing the past three football seasons and has been Athletic Director for the past tWo-and- a-half years. In his second year of coaching at Streator, Gaston Freeman has been the head basketball coach and also served as assistant baseball coach. In his third year of coaching at Streator, Ralph Ganzer has been the Wrestling, assistant football and golf coach. This past year has been Coach Tom Henderson's first year at Streator High as swimming, tennis and assistant football coach. Coach Albert Lundberg, better known as Swede, in his tenth year of coaching at Streator, has been the head track coach and has also assisted in football. Cross country and baseball have been Coach Leonard Muel- ler's coaching jobs for the 1953-'54 school year. He also assisted in basketball. This is Coach Mueller's seventh year of coaching at Streator High. Coach Francis J. Mclner- ney's second year at Streator has been devoted to assisting in football, basketball, and track. These coaches have coached the boys through all their hardships and victories. In spite of injuries and mishaps to the Bull- dogs, the coaches used sound judgment in their choice of substituting players. Because of the line coaching ability of these men, we are sure that they will have a bigger and better season in the 1954-'55 school year. i H4141 VARSITY FOOTBALL When Coach Ashworth issued the call for players in mid-August, about forty candi- dates turned out. Only two regulars re- turned from the 1952 team that shared the Big 12 championship. The boys worked hard to get in shape, but they were handicapped at first because of the heat wave through which Streator was suffering. The Bulldogs started the season off in fine style by beating Ottawa Marquette 26-6 in a driving rain. In our next game our old rival Ottawa proved to be tougher than expected, and we lost 27-0. The following week was Homecoming. We had our parade, and we were all keyed up. St. Bede ruined the occasion by return- ing the opening kickoff for a touchdown. We never recovered, and lost the game 24-14. The Bulldogs then ran into bad luck and lost the following three games. They gen- erally played well in the first half, but couldn't keep it up. Streator won its last game when the team traveled to Danville. The two extra points provided the margin of victory 14-12. In the season finale against Mattoon, eleven seniors played their last game. They tried hard to make it a victorious ending, but they lost 19-12. Front Row: J. Kelm, B. Patrick, J. Edwards, B. Sandine, D. Hagerty, L. Glowicki, R. Gautschy, D. Jones, C. Howell Second Row: H.

Hool FROSH-SOPH FOOTBALL This year's team was composed mostly of freshmen. The main reason for this was that many of the boys were brought up to the Varsity. The team had a creditable rec- ord despite the loss of these players to the Varsity. This year Coaches Mclnerney and Hen- derson brought the team through to a tie season. The boys were beaten by Ottawa 6-0, and by Ottawa Marquette 39-2. They beat Pontiac 28-6 and 27-8. The mainstays of the team were Cain and Koskovich. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL This year's team was led by some out- standing players. These boys, Goerne, Chamberlain, and Wagner, played in the backfield. The linemen were Johnson, Johns- ton, Haar. Drapp, and Starkey. Coaches Mclnerney and Henderson brought the boys through to our I. V. co- championship. They had a record of two wins and one tie. They tied Ottawa 12-12, beat Spring Valley 21-O, and defeated St. Bede 40-6. Front Row: D. Meyers, C. Johnson, R. Wagner, B. Muntz Second Row: R. Phillis, A. Johnston, W. Haar, R. Goerne, J.

Klima CROSS COUNTRY The Cross-Country team, under the coaching of Mr. Leonard Mueller, had a fair- ly successful season. They won two out of four dual meets, and placed second in their only triangular meet. In the big meets of the year they placed fourth in a field of six at the Ottawa Invita- tional Meet, second in a field of four at the Illinois Valley Meet, eighth in the Big-12 Meet, and finished the season by placing fifth in a field of twelve in the District Meet. Seven Seniors will graduate in June. They are Florian Centko, Dave Swartz, Bernie Miller, Curt Saunders, Al Fincham, Leon Haar, and Bob Mertz. Only two upperclass- men will return next year. They are Ray Erler and Jack Mehall. We hope that the team has gained experi- ence and will have a successful season next year. CROSS COUNTRY Front Row: M. Ryan, N. Eggleston, E.

They played hard throughout the whole season, but they lacked height. Like all teams they had their ups and downs, but still the spirit was good. The team was con- stantly on the gog they had plenty of fight and drive. Next year's prospects look much better because eleven of the fourteen letter- men are returning. This year the team had the advantage of playing on a regulation-size floor. The Bull- dogs played their home games at the Armory. In the first home game it looked as though we might have a top-notch ball club. Even though we were defeated by St. Bede, a new record was set. The final score was 99-89. This was a new team record, as well as com- bined total record. VARSITY ISASKETIQA I.I, The Ottawa game was a reminder of the improvement the team had made after suf- fering a defeat in the first game with Ottawa. The boys came back strong in the second game. After leading most of the second half, theb boys droppedrbehind a strong Ottawa c u . In the Regional Tournament the boys played good ball. They downed Earlville 70-67 and rolled over powerful Ottawa Mar- quette 75-60. As fate would have it, we met Ottawa for the championship and were de- feated 88-57. With eleven lettermen returning, it looks as though Coach Freeman has the start for a good team. We wish him all the luck he may need. Front Row: Coach Freeman, .I. Spraggon, J. Vank lu Brown. J.

He had the most field goals and a total of 252 points. He was elected honorary captain. NOLAN FOX Nolan was a fans' ballplayer, a very determined player and a constant sparker of the team. He had plenty of drive when it was needed. He had a total of 164 points for a 7.5 average. FRED BRUWVN Fred, a very much improved ballplayer over last season, had an excellent bookshot, and he was a fine rebounder.

Coach MeInerney's boys. although having a dis- appointing season, lost many of their games only by the margin of a few points. The boys' spirit was very good. This was shown by the fact that they experienced a bad losing streak in their first six games, but snapped out of it to win five of their last ten games. The team was also ham- pered by the loss to the varsity of their three top players: Stan O'Kraski, Dan Kerestes, and Henry Baxter. The experience which these boys have gained gives them a good start towards a successful season next year. 1 FROSH-SOPH HASK ETBALL Front Row: J. Hool. C. Johnson. B. Hart. VV.

Coach Mueller guided his team to a twelve- win, four-loss season and the Illinois Valley Freshman Tournament Championship. The team defeated every opponent that they played at least once during the season. Four boys on the squad, Al Johnston, Clarence Johnson, Wayne Chamberlain, and Ron Goerne, also doubled on the Frosh-Soph squad. This added experience gave the boys greater ability and added confidence in the freshman-squad games. These boys, with the fine showing they made as freshmen, should form a good nucleus for next year's Frosh-Soph squad. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL l-'ront Row: T. Mathieu, G, Harding, .l.

Four of the eight, Roger Gotch, Jack Mehall, Dave Fincham, and Dan Hyduk, returned from last year's team. Mr. Tom Henderson, a new member of the coaching staff this year, has worked very hard with the boys. During the course of the season the Streator team had matches with St. Bede, Ottawa, and Bloomington, and entered the Illinois Valley tournament. They also en- tered the State Finals and the Big Twelve meet at Pekin. With more boys out than in past years and with four returning letter- men, they are striving to make this season a successful and profitable one for the school. GOLF The golf team started out with a big bang this year with nineteen boys turning out for practice. Six of the returning boys are let- termen: LeRoy Thomas, Jack Patterson, Scott Patterson, Joe Murray, Don Bowman, Neil Macdonald. Three boys who returned were on last year's squad, but were not let- termen: Al Fincham, Francis Hatzer and Max Hepler. During the season the Streator squad met Ottawa and entered the Illinois Valley Dis- trict meets. They also entered the State Finals and the Big Twelve meet. Coach Ganzer and his squad have worked very hard and hope for a very successful season in golf this year. l TENNIS Front Row: T. Pierce, D. Rauscher, H. Hagi. D. Hamann Back Row: B.

This was only the third year for wrestling at Streator High, and it has progressed rapidly in that time. This year's team had a record of seven wins and three losses. In the Big 12 meet the team placed fifth with six boys placing. The boys were as follows: E. Trainer, E. Guyon, D. Morgan, A DeLong, B. Farrare, and L. Glowicki. In the sectional meet at Elgin, Streator took third place. To qualify for the state, a boy must place first or second in the sectional. Streator had five boys who went to the state meet at Maywood. In the state meet, Farrare, Glowicki, and DeLong won their first meets, but were defeated in the second round. Next year the outlook is good because there will be seventeen returning lettermen. There is a need for more boys in all divisions to create competitive ability. Front Row: J. Imzalshe, B. Reese, R. Bean, C. Pollett. 'l'. Mn-Coy Second Row: R. Ifoslcr, J. Han, D. Fincham, I .

The team had a total of ten meets this year, but they won only two of them, defeating Onargo both times. Although it was not an in- spiring season, the boys enjoyed themselves and gained experience for next year. All through the sea- son the boys worked hard, and with each meet they improved con- siderably. One good factor is that all of the boys will be back next year. This was the second year for the swimming team at S. H. S., but it was Coach Henders0n's first year. We hope the team will improve next year. 51143 TRACK When Coach Lundberg issued the call for track in the spring, forty boys showed up. There were six returning lettermen in the group. They are Dave Swartz, half milerg Ray Gautschy, field and dash mang Al DeLong, quarter milerg Bernie Miller, milerg Curt Saunders, high jumperg and Bob Mertz, high jumper. The squad practiced in the gymnasium until the weather permitted them to use the track. Two boys on last year's team went to the State finals. They were Gene Chamber- lain in the low hurdles and Dick Wheeler in the mile. The season opened at Ottawa in their Invitational meet. The rest of the season promised to be a tough one, especially in the big meets such as the District, State, Big Twelve, and I. V. This year, Coaches Lundberg and Mcln- erney are building for next year when only seven members of the present squad will have been lost through graduation.

The Girls' Athletic Association, under the direction of Miss Lillian Goll, started out with a large group, but decreased greatly during the course of the year. Those stay- ing with the club participated in many activi- ties: softball, bowling, swimming, and arch- ery. During the year a sock hop and con- cessions were sponsored by the club. A spring picnic is being planned as one of the club's last projects for the year. A play day for eighth-grade girls is also in the plans for the future. 51173 OFFICERS Front Row: S. Rowe, J.

CHEERLEADERS This year the cheerleaders, under the competent supervision of Miss Giffhorn, dis- played excellent leadership at the various basketball and football games during the 1953-1954 season. Miss Giffhorn, being new to the faculty staff this year and also new with the cheer- leaders, helped greatly to introduce new styles and new cheers for the girls. These VARSITY CHEERLEADERS M. Uratchko D. Lechncr R, Drapp S. Ward J. Alberts were used effectively at the numerous games, which were played away as well as at home. The Frosh-Soph cheerleaders also did a good job at the underclassmenis football games. Although they did not travel to the out-of-town games, they added support at the home games.

Her absence will be sorely felt by the many organizations in which she so actively participated. During the two short years that she spent in Streator High School, she not only became a hard-working, depend- able leader, but also a good, kind friend to all who made her acquaint- ance. -1'-11-1 4?
