Page 2 , Purcell Victim Of Latest Draft: Nowllorcl Blinleey By Norman Esserman The latest defense incgtsuiqogtlie United States governmerff as ee! the partial black-out of Mr. Addison Purcell, Taft faculty's own Bob Hope. Lord Blinkey, as he is most reverently called by the stu- dents, ambles to his chemistry classes peering through one eye while the other is covered with a patch. Such a man of high esteem could not be called just Blinkey, No, that would never do. Thus he was knighted by the Ancient Wreck- less and Independent Order of Beo- wulves as Lord Blinkey. After in- duction into the secret order, Mr. Purcell's new nickname cannot be used without the proper prefix. Blinkey Explains Troubles Lord Blinkey explains that his trouble is known under the medi- cal term of Amblyopsis Spelaeus. This he further explains, in lay- man's language, means Blinkitis. In this dreaded disease the eye lid flickers up and down at the sight of a member of the opposite sex. His lordship not wishing to be embarrassed by the malady's fre- quent attacks wears the patch as protection. Condition Temporary? The hope that his condition is only temporary was verified by Dr. Premeda, Health Editor of the Bugle. Said Dr. Premeda, in a very ex- clusive interview, In all the years of medical history the cases of Casa Nova and Don Juanson proved to be the only fatal.ities. This how- ever was before the medical pro- fession used the treatments of Taft Tribune Alpha Officers Make Plans in Sun Left to right. the Alpha-Tri-HI officers discuss their latest problem: Nancy Gr-ny. preside-nt: Shirley Knmre. prom-nm chairman: Shirley Becker, trensurer: Mary Bonrlni- sergeant-nt-:rrmsg Put Dolan. vlce-president. R aclaeteer Passow Collects Troplz ies Elaine Passow, Taft's number one racketeer, added some new tennis trophies to her rapidly growing collection this summer. Last year she netted third place in the finals of the city park tourna- 1ne11t. Now she is the city cham- pion of intermediate girls--those who are from 16 to 18 years of age. ln her spare time she entered the Iliver Forest tournament and cap- tured two runner-up trophies. Because of her brilliant playing she was recommended to go to Philadelphia August 23, to compete for the nation grass court cham- pionship. This was a great honor as only seventy-eight girls in the whole country were chosen to play in the meet. In this contest she survived the eliminations, but lost out in the second round. Elaine is now number two on the Junior Wightman Team. This con- sists of ten girls from Chicago who play teams from other big cities. Miss Passow can be seen whiz- ziug around the courts almost every fair day. A 'tit takes plenty of practice, ex- plained Elaine, to keep in shape. blinds. With the use of the new anti-winking serum the ill effects of B1inkitis are usually over in from ten to fourteen days, although in very severe cases they have been known to last as long as 30 days. Latest reports state that Lord Blinkey is rapidly improving and before long the wool can be re- moved from his eyes. New Teachers Arrive at Taft The questions on the lips of many as they first wan- school at the open- term and surveyed new faces eyeing Taft students dered back to ing of the fall curiously the them from the desk in their class- rooms was, Who is she? Where is she from? What is she doing here? The answer to these questions is simple. That unfamiliar looking person is a substitute teacher who is replacing a regular Taft teacher. Miss Neva H. Teeters of the English department has undergone an operation and is recovering rapidly. Substituting for her is Miss Donna Mae Maxon. Northwestern u n i v e 1' s i t y has claimed D1'. Grace Buchwalter who is doing some advanced study. Mrs. Helen Scanlon, former director of the mixed chorus is also storing up more knowledge and in her place is Mrs. C. E. Smith. Miss Mary Brady of the a1't de- partment and Mrs. Gladys S. Han- sen of the English department are both on sabbatical leaves, while Mrs. Edith Halverson of the history department, Mrs. Rose Hershen- house, and Mrs. Mathilda Scott, toth of the commercial department, are all on maternity leaves. Sub stituting for Mrs. Halverson is Miss Cleo Lopate, for Mrs. Scott is Miss Alice Moloney, and back to take the place of Mrs. Hershen- house, who was substituting for her is Miss Irma Dahlquist. Each teacher is entitled to one year's leave from teaching, every seven years during which time she may either study or travel.

Everything was all right during :he first football assembly, but at :he second, the batons of Margret Ann Scott and Elaine Giese were nissing. The absence of Pat Earle, Taft's star twirler, was more conspicuous :han that of both missing batons. After the dirty work was done :he batons appeared just as mys- periously as they vanished.

Along side of the paltry total of 940 boys, the supreme total of 1,264 pulchritudi- nous nifties looks enormous. This term, Taft has been honored with the arrival of 445 freshies. Of this sum 225 are of the fairer sex and the other 220 boys. The group with the second highest membership is the 3B group. These astonishing students have among their numbers 233 girls and 181 boys. The 4A class has a total of 145. 4B's have 304, 3A's possess 167, the 2BB's 340, 2A's 199, and finally the 1A's with 190 up and coming geniuses. All students who are inter- ested in bowling this semes- ter should start forming their teams. The name of the team and players should be ready, so that when the first meet- ing is held activity can begin immediately. Mr. John Piuppo, sponsor, hopes there will be enough candidates to form two boys and two girls teams. For the freshmen who wish to join, there will be a junior league that will meet S a t u r d a y' morning. Musical Groups Resume Activit The mixed chorus proved to the school that the summer vacation had not affected their voices at the Defense Assembly, Wednesday, September 10.' Mrs. C. E. Smith, substituting for Mrs. Helen B. Scanlon who is on sabbatical leave, led the chorus in two numbers: A Medley of Ameri- can National Airs by C. F. Furey and Americ-a's Message by John- stone. No definite plans have as yet been formulated for their fu- ture programs. M1'. Rapier reports that definite plans have already been formulated for next semester's work in the band and orchestra. A solo contest will be held February 13: an en- semble contest the week of March 3: a band contest, April 13: and the orchestra contest May 13. Prac- tice is already in progress in ex- pectation of another S rating. The Taft Girls' Chorus directed by Mrs. Ruth Lino has already started on its way. Their first per- formance will be for Taft Parent Teachers' sometime in October. The officers for this year are as fol- lows: Lucille Nitche. president: Josephine Gendilee, vice-president: Mary Boarini, secretary: and Eve- yn Seivers, treasurer. The accompanists for the coming year will be Carmelita Lorocco, h Schielka. Evelyn Seivers. and Anderson.

Are those English 2 books ready to take now? came an- other voice. The ladders were raised and the books were handed down in nothing short of a second. This may sound compara- tively simple, but in reality the work is tedious and unending in the unbearable heat of the book room. claimed one of I 1 Mr. Ruben An addition of 700 books has been made this semester. These books must be stamped several times, properly arranged on the shelves and a record kept of every transaction. It is students, such as Josephine Gendillee who has charge of the records, Lucille Carucci, Gloria Kissel, Marilyn Fischer and the muscle men Howard Zyhert and Richard Paragene who make this work possible. These students de- serve a great deal of recognition for their assistance in organizing the books. It is really a different job and my helpers have done :it well, stated Mr. Irving Ruben. However, the bookroom crew felt that without Mr. Ruben's ample supervision, things would never have been as perfectly managed as they have been. The book room is ready to serve you the second, third, fifth, sev- enth, eighth, ninth and tenth per- iods. G. A. A. 6Kicks Off' Amid showers of footballs Joe Sophomore and Sally Senior trip- ped the light fantastic at the G.A.A. Kick-Off dance last Friday. With footbzills pinned to their lapels, Taftites couldn't help but get into the spirit of the coming football season. At the stroke of 3:30 p. m., the kick-off occurred with George Pat- terson, manager of the team doing the honors. Then like pennies from heaven brightly colored foot- balls descended, The new dance band, The Es- quires came through with flying colors. The decorations were silver and blue. Page 4 Taft Tribune September 19, 194 Just clleminiscing' 0 The In the Quake Two years ago a new school opened its doors. Into it flocked sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors from Schurz, Von Steuben, and other north- west side schools. At Taft they found an unfinished building and a sandy treeless campus. There were no proud Seniors or lowly Freshies that year. Everyone was new. Classes and programs had to be scheduled. Traditions had to be built up. The North Central association had to accredit the school. Remember how we selected the name of the Eagles for Taft's teams, chose Blue and Silver for the school's colors, and emblazoned the title of Tribune on the masthead of the school paper? Will anybody ever forget the introduction of Mr. Rapier's Taft Loyalty song, the first dance with James Shamburg and Helen Guernsey as the king and queen of the waltz, the election of Jean Bostwdck as Rose Queen, the first June graduating class? All those things gave Taft the start that must be kept up today. The Freshmen then are the Juniors now. Many classes have gone. yet, as the upper classmen walk down the halls they see familiar faces of students who return to Taft to reminisce about Only Yesterday. Library Offers Fine Entertainment Books! Books! Everywhere books, but how many Taft students ever think of using this fine selection of literary achievements in our library? How many freshmen, sophomores, and even juniors and seniors have never gone to the bother of getting a library card, and how many more have never used the cards they do have. Although comic books and movie magazines seem to be all the rage, it does look just a trifle more studious to have a copy of Scott's works or a book on handicraft along with your notebook as you pass from class to class. You don't have to take them out with the intention of reading them completely, but when the diviision period seems unbearably long, or your English teacher is delayed enroute to class, just open up the book and see what made the author write what he did. Make all the corrections you see fit in his so-called masterpiece. Before long you're liable to find yourself genuinely interested in the book, but that's all right-everyone knows you're reading it just to pass time. Perhaps you've never bothered to see just what ds in your library. The librarians are only too glad to assist you in your selection of a good book. .-li..-.. . 'Neither a Borrower Nor A Lender Be' Have you a reputation for depending on others for your existence? Do you constantly have to borrow pencils, paper, money, and tomorrow's homework? If so, you are one of the much-hated species of animals called the parasite, alias sponger, deadbeat, chiseler, and panhandler. Could it be that you are just minus memonies or are you really as bad as you seem? Have you a criminal record in every mental file of society including unpaid nickels and borrowed school work that made both you and the lender get stoplight grades when the teacher found out? The length of your sponging record will make people find out in a hurry what your number is. If people can't borrow, they'll have to get their own!

But on the whole, this year's crop of young hopefuls has not been as profitable as those of past years. The sales of elevator tickets have dropped considerably, and the old football ticket business is at a standstill. Latest reports show a. freshie trying to sell a lunchroom pass to a senior! These young moderns are far more worldly and matter-of-fact. Upon receiving their room assign- ments, they calmly go to the right room instead of ending up some- where in the basement, and there's certainly not much of the scared rabbit about them.

' By Lois Johnson Have you ever wanted to change your handle? Thais month's inquir- ing reporter gives you an oppor- tunity to do so with this question. Betty Brendel, IB, was all en- thused over the idea of changing her name to Lana Turner. A change has already been made, said Jess Taylor, 2A, when approached. Jesse was his former title. Enigmatic Mr. Osbon Quoth Kenneth Osbon, that dy- namic head of the history depart- ment. I've had my name so long now if I changed it I wouldn't know who I was, but I could think of plenty of good changes for other people. Miss Jane Carleton has always been satisfied wwith her name but she said those who intend to change their names should remember thlis verse: Change the name but not the let- ter, Change for the worse and not for the better. Tsk, Tsk, Charles Annabelle was Charles Weider's choice of a name for himself. tSlight1y feminineq Frederick Bunge, 2A, would be glad to change his name to some- thing the teachers could pronounce correctly.

Red-headed Gladys Myszler, 3B, thinks as long as she has red hair she may as well have an Irish 11ame so her choice is Patty O'Day. James Craig, 4A, stated, Mine's bad enough as it is.

Bernard Dabbert went all around school asking for bobby-pins to put up Dick Lewis's fair tresses? All they lacked was a blond hair net. Howard Payne put the bottom window down so he could unlock the top one? Wright Peterson acquired his convertible? With the reopening of school, versatile William Stephen, 4A, comes to the front as Mr. Hoefer's choice for the Boy of the Month. Bill is one of these square-shoot ing, all-round people that everyone likes and admires. In the spring, he lives and breathes baseball and has been a member of the team since its beginning, contributing more than his share of good pitch- ing and hitting. In his spare time he makes and sells costume jewelry of wood and walnuts, samples of which you have undoubtedly seen on the wrists of various fair Tafties. His hobby has grown so much in a year that tit is now a full-fledged business. Bill does not spend all of his time at baseball and bracelets, l1ow- ever, as his grades and membership in the Honor Society indicate. When possible he also spends much time fishing, playing tennis, swim- ming, and participating in other sports. He likes to dance and does indulge frequently. His extra school hours are spent as a hall marshall, and in changing programs for Mr. Mooney. Bill is a loyal Taftite, having William Stephen come from Schurz as a 2A when Taft was opened, and he would rather be here than anywhere else. Beyond wanting to go to North- western his plans for the future are not too definite. The Tribune Presents Mrs. Perry Because of her prolonged vaca- tion duning the first two weeks of the school term, it was impossible to obtain a direct interview from Mrs. Evelyn Perry, Taft's choice for this issue's teacher of the month. It was therefore necessary to call upon her husband, Mr. Enos Perry, to obtain the needed information. Born in Chicago, Ill., Mrs. Perry was graduated from the Senn high school. She received her Bachelor of Arts and Masters Degree in Eng- lish from the University of Chicago. Mrs. Perry began her teaching career at the Henry elementary school. From there she went to Schurz high school, where she was sponsor of the Schurz Times and finally, with the opening of Taft in September, 1939, she once again changed schools. Her hobbies, other than playing bridge, are all along the athletic line-swimming, horseback riding, golfing, and hunting. She is also a skilled dancer, pianist and violin- ist. Mr. Perry could think of no greater ambition of hers other than that of making the Trib a darn good paper. He further explained that he believed her disposition to be free from pet peeves and idio- syncracies. TAFTITES JOIN UNANIMOUSLY IN EXPRESSING THEIR APPRE- clation of the oll painting presented them by the Mendowlnrk club of the Norwood pnrk elementary clmol.

Page 5 Taft Tribune Hilarious Comedy Sets Movie Fans Tribune Explains Service Points Agog with Puzzle By Jeanette Kane It's that do me sol Tom, Dick, and Harry and Who Does She Mar- ry, that has been causing Cinder- ella to take heed and polish her technique. With a cast of three to one we find Ginger Rogers battling off the three-Burgess Meredith, George Murphy, and Alan Marshall at the precise moment. In this fantasy, Miss Rogers promptly finds herself engaged to three gentlemen, Tom, Dick, and Harry. In turn, she dreams of her future as the wife of each. With Tom there would always be promo- tions. Har1'y, the t0Wl1 mechanic, offers a life of fishing. Dick .is that handsome millionaire who offers all the happiness money could bring. But then another dream of- fers a suggestion-why not marry all three? Of course, everyone believes he knows whom she will marry, but at tl1e last moment, the future of all four is determined by the most in- significant event imaginable-the tinkle of a bell! With the able direction of Garson t Soldier Boy J Kanin, and the fine supporting cast, including Le- nore Lonergan as Ginger's kid sis- ter, this gay, sparkling comedy fills the bill for every movie-goer. WP A Improves School Grounds While Taftites were idling dur- ing summer vacation, the W. P. A. were busy improving the grounds of the school. The football and track fields in the rear of the school are almost ready for use. The playing field is completed, but the cinder track has to be finished. All students are requested to stay off the rear fields recreation, stated Mr. Thomas Fogli, engineer custodian. By walking on the ground the turf :is injured and in- creased Work is required to rebuild the edge. The workmen would ap- preciate your coopera.tion, he con- cluded. In the extreme corner of the grounds a baseball diamond has been laid out. As soon as a back- stop is erected, the field will be ready for use. Another important improvement is electric street lights replace the old ones fronting the building. This means that the man with the snuffer will no longer be seen. Although no major repairs were required inside the building, the rooms were made spic and span with newly waxed floors and wood- work. The Taft Tribune reprints below the rules governing the Taft serv- ice award system. I.

Pig-tails bobbing with brightl3 colored hair bows are a temptatiol to lads who are possessed with tht thought of yanking them. Getting away from pig-tails am long bobs, we see Shirley Becher': pert feather cut or baby hair cu as most of us know it. Dashing tr our first period class we see Wilma Dubs, 4A, wearing a new V-neckec sweater-the new 27-inch sloppy type. Besides the V-neck we also sec the crew neck sweaters, and in jus' about every color imaginable. Some of them are done in heavy kni weaves and others in light woo knits. If you have some of thest in your wardrobe you are strictl3 on the beam. Sonderman Models Jacket Out on the campus we get 2 glimpse of Marilyn Sonderman it the torso length jacket whicl takes its place in the fall fashions Among the many girls who havf acquired the knitting bug is Luci: Lucenco, 4B, who is making ai angora sweater to wear with a re: plaid skirt.

Honor students. How wisely can you judge? The answer will be in the election of officers for the honor society now ap- proaching. Miss Martha Hinkle, sponsor, urges that all be on their toes in searching for a really outstanding and capable classmate to put up for presidency. This office, Miss Hinkle avers, ls one of the greatest honors to be conferred upon a student. So look your fellow scholars over, size them up. and bring in your carefully con- sidered suggestions to the election meeting. Pins were distributed to 1A's last week with the exchanging of pins taking place now. A truly great loss to the honor society is the transferring of Dor- othy Dietz, last semester's vice- president, to Detroit. Her efficient and untiring efforts for the good of the society wfill be greatly missed, but as it is always said, Our loss is their gain. - Pre-Meds' Postmortem? Horrors! Can it be true that we, the future patients, will have to face the future without physicians? According to Mr. Vestal, sponsor of the Premedics club, one is most Likely to arrive at that conclusion when he hears that the club will be discontinued unless a much greater demand for entrance into this organization is made. Council Reorganizes The executive committee of the student council, consisting of Wil- liam Lessman, George Christ, Mar- garet Ann Scott, Roy Wagner, Mary Ann Jacobson, Lorraine Blume, Howard Jacob, and James Downing, met with Nancy Gray, vicepresident, during the third period, September 10. It was decided that each division room would elect two delegates dur- ing the long division September 10. The boy and girl chosen should have an active interest in the stu- dent council and must be present at each meeting. Fencers Invited Mr. R. Miller is again sponsoring this student organization. Boys! With defense on every American's tongue, it is a good time to think about your own self-defense. And what could fill the bill better than fencing? Mr. Mr. Irving Ruben, last year's sponsor, promised that the club would again reorganize providing there are enough interested. The meetings will probably be held ninth period on Thursdays. Mr. Ruben will supply other needed in- formation. By Norman Esserman The night of the Freshman Frolic Johnnie picked up Sue. They boarded the highway bus. Johnnie fumbled the fares, his scoured face a pink halo. Sue, his division room neighbor, smoothed her hair rib- bons with nervous lintensity. When they entered the darkened corridors of the school Johnny was lost, bewildered. The gym was no- where to be seen. Gawkily, he pro- pelled Sue down the shadow- darkened hall. Ahead he heard laughter, a question. Where you going Fresh? Blindly, he asked, Where's the gylnipr Turn left at the next corner. Then their informants practically collapsed with mirth. Johnny ground his teeth and grated to Sue, Some joke, eh? Must be ickiesf' Sue whispered consolingly. 0h. just a bunch of fool sophomores. Johnny. In the gym a compact circle of ill-at-ease boys ringed the capering figures of Sid Sloane and his Swingaroos. Alternately, they shuf- fled their feet and made ribald comments upon the music, the dancers, the decorations, and the chaperons. Into this haven of refuge Johnnv eased himself. Let the girls dance by themselves. He saw Joe. slapped him on the back, and let his sweat- ing palms relax. From time to time his conscience drove him out and he wrestled Suzy around the floor. It was agony for both. But Sue never whimpered. But she did glance once or twice at her scnffed shoes. Home at 12:30. When the Sophomore Stomp ap- proached Johnny was ready. John- ny dated Jane, a 2A. He knew where the gym was now. Johnny danced every dance. No scuffed shoes this time. Senior Girls to Welcome New Members During a meeting of the Senior Girls' club ninth period Wednes- day, September 10, the 4A's dis- cussed plans for a party scheduled September 24 to welcome the 4B's. During the business portion of the meeting, the club will hold an elec- tion of officers. Entertainment from the 4A's and a party will follow. All Senior Boys Invited The Senior Boys' club. sponsored by Mr. Arthur Mooney and Mr. Ad- dison Purcell, will hold their first meeting today during a. m. divi- sion. Plans for a faculty-senior boys' indoor baseball game to take place in the near future will be dis- cussed. Gosh, dances are fun, admitted Johnny as they glanced at the stars on the way home. Abed by 1:00 p. m. Johnny was taking Mary, a 4B. to the Junior Jive. He drove to the clubhouse in his dad's car. After dancing half the night, they went to the Pampus for refreshments. Later to Dam No. 4 for a look at the stars. Johnny stayed out until 2:30 that night. In the morning Dad looked up from the paper and asked if he had a good time. Johnny reflected his dad was be- ginning to understand. Johnny rediscovered Sue. You know Sue, the girl who sits next to me in division. Boy, has she changed. Sue accepted Johnny's bid for the Senior Prom. Johnny had a car now. And after graduating next week, he's going to college' Sue and he went to the Paragon ballroom where Jerk Digens and orchestra were playing. After the prom, the Villa Florence, was the place to go. Everybody went Skokieing. The stars blinked down on a lighthouse in Wilmette. They exchanged graduation rings that night. It was the night of the Alumni dance. John and Sue were on the entertainment committee. After their duties they eased out to the porch where Jolmny gave Sue an engagement ring. Somehow they both thought of revisiting the school. . They arrived at the start of the Freshman Frolic. Hand in hand they strolled the halls until they met a boy with a painfully clean face holding the hand of a freckled nosed girl. He asked, 'Say Bud, how do you get to the gym? John locked at Sue, they both started to laugh. John then turned to the newcomer and said, Turn left at the next corner. Curriculum Sees Not Many Changes Few changes have been made in the curriculum of Taft high school for this year. There has been a definite increase in Spanish classes and a decrease in the German and classes. Because of thzis 5 has been added. The in the enrolment of these have been attributed by French Spanish changes classes some to the war situation. The pick-up nation - wide commercial is partly responsible for the increased enrolment in com- mercial subjects. Taft is the only school in the city that requires boys to take Physical Education four periods a week. For this reason, the depart- ment is one ofthe most progressive. Page 7 Students Asked To Register Cars, , Bicycles Pronto Attention all students! Have you registered your bicycle or car with Mr. H. Miller yet? It is a decided protection to everyone who rides a bicycle or drives a car to school, to have them registered at once. Students who ride bicycles to school should use the racks pro- vided for them at the rear of the building opposite the library. For the students' own protection there have been student guards posted at both the bicycle racks and the parking lot for each period of the day, under the supervision of Mr. Miller, to see that every- thing is kept in order. The outside car guard system will be operated on the same basis as the preceding semester, with the addition of two boys for watching the bicycles only. At this early date most of the outside guard posts are taken. However, there are still several periods open for interested boys who have regular studies. The duties of the boys are not only to see that the cars are parked right but to turn off lights, report flat tires, and keep unwanted people out of the cars. Their re- ward is ten service polnts per semester. P. I A. to Hold Parents' Night Association Night, Oc- All parents to be pres- ent. According to Mrs. C. E.

Listen! Be on the watch for Mr. Piuppo's bowling posters in the corridors. Plans for the coming season are under way and in a few weeks you gals can be rolling down those pins. Mr. Piuppo has promised to teach all the new bowlers the fine points of the game as he has done in the years gone by. It seems that Taft is destined to dive right into the new year with a splash! Miss Walker, the girl's Phys. Ed. teacher, has announced plans for a spectacular water bal- let in January with 32 Taftites taking active part. ,,i .....l.i--- Buell Now Heads Visual Education The visual education department of Ta.ft high school has again undergone another change and is now being supervised by Mr. Charles Buell of the Industrial Arts department. The department is planning to run several full- length movie pictures this semes- ter. New officers for this term are Henry Jankowskie, superintendent. :-nd La Verne Schumacker. secre- tary. Thirty operators, three for each period, have been employed to run the three movie machines now belonging to Taft. Taft ridders Lack Final Punch Last Saturday's opening football scrimmage ended in a 13 to 0 vic- tory for Senn. From the starting gun until the end of the half, Taft had possession of the field. Their major gains were mode by Mos- song's passing and Doebler's re- ceiving. Hilgenberg, right halfback, made a 10-yard run to put Taft into scoring position. A 15-yard pass by Mossong to Gillenback scored for Taft. However, an official called the ply back because of the fact that the passer was not five yards back of the line of scrimmage when the ball was thrown. A 10-yard roll on the next play closed the first half. In the opening of the second half, Senn started a march which covered about 85 yards, ending in a touchdown on an 8-yard run by Senn's left half- back, Micatto. The kick raised the score to 7 to 0. Taft again received the ball only to kick back to Senn. The ball went back and forth with neither tea.m's having the upper edge. A kick by Mossong was blocked by Senn and resulted in another touchdown for Senn. The klick was blocked and the score mounted to 13 to 0. The last quarter was a defense game for Taft with Right-guard Anderson displaying an outstand- ing performance by breaking through and throwing Senn for two losses totaling about 12 yards. The game ended with the ball on Taft's 3-yard line when the ball carrier was stopped by Anderson from what looked like another score for Senn.

Fight, Taft, Fight, New CIIEEFS, New Fight. Taft, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, Taft, Fight. Yells, New Boys, Nyfty Belles! This year, Taft football fans will see three new cheerleaders on the field when their favorite team car- ries the pligskin over the goal line. Last year's veterans, Mable Heen, Mary Boarini, Doris Zonzius and Marjorie Mann, will be joined this fall by newcomers Ruth Schu- macher, Eldridge Adams, and Ger- ald Plato. Cheerleading, however, is harder than it appears to be. A student wishing to join the cheerleaders, to instill school spirit? in the grandstand masses must be absolutely A-1 before he or she is allowed to lead cheers. Would-be cheerleaders are selected by com- petition and in addition must give five original yells and provide rou- tines for eachg pass examinations in proficiency in giving other yells: spend time in practice until 0K'd by Coach Harry S. Miller. A school letter is awarded at the end of one year of work on the field. White sweaters and blue slacks seem to be the costumes for this fall. Cheers currently popular are as follows: Give a yell, Come on, let's hear it! Yea Taft, That's the spirit! Seven, Come eleven, Come a silver, come a blue. When our team hits the line, It goes right thru! A-B-C-D-E-F-G- We're Boom Boom Boom Ricka for Taft, Yessirree!

September 19, 1941 In the Boys, Locleer Room By Carl English Looking over this year's footbal squad the positions are quite wel filled. At ends we have Doebler Srednicke, Gilgenback, and Van denbergh, all returning from las year's squad, and three will returl next year. With the knowledge they hav! gained from past experience, the: will be a main feature in scorin, and will cause their opponent many a headache. The pass receiving will featurt Doebler and Srednicki, with Sred nicki having the advantage becausl of his height and speed. Disregard ing size, which we can by looking at Doebler's record for last year we see a brilliant and courageou little player sharing the honor both in pass receiving and playin, a splendid defense game. Vandenberg Lines Up Henry Vandenberg, now in hi final season, will be seen quite o ten in the starting lineup. Vander burg did not play much last yea due to a knee injury obtained earl in the season. Gilgenback, a hard charging ent will play a minor position thi year, but will be an excellent sul stitute. As soon as he gets an 01 portunity to play he will probabl make a permanent position for hin self. Intramural Swimming Begun Harry S. Miller, who coached th swimming squads last semeste' will not only attempt to turn ot winning teams this fall, but wi also organize an intra-mural swin ming meet for all the boys' gy! classes. This event, which will l held in the near future, will nc only tend to increase the popula ity of water sports at Taft, but wi also aid in finding likely prospect for the swimming teams. Mr. Saul Farber, coach of tl basketball team has organized basketball class. This class seen to be very popular. Its present el rollment is about 45. The purpose of this class is 1 condition and teach the fundamel tals of basketball to the student In this class are some of Taft former basketball players. From tl Junior team we have Craig, Ca parelli, Otolskl, Buyewski, Smitf Whittier, Kuflewski, and Mo: nich. From the senior basketba team we have Cocoran, Gauge Hood, Kotowski, Paulish, and S derholm. This class will be a splendid wa to train for the Taft basketba team, so if any student is intere ted in the team, see Mr. Farbt about this class.

Th prospect of a Taft victory is enhanced by last Saturday's idle- ness. A week of rest followed by one of hard work has put the team in mid-season form. Rough spots were ironed out by Coach Joe Kupcinet during a prac- tice game with Foreman September 24. Improvement in the line was shown by the time the passers had to find their mark. The new aerial attack together with the return of Carl English and Felix Mataresse should give the Eagles the added punch needed to score touchdowns. Last season Taft and Sullivan tied six all. This year the Eagles played Senn and Lane with greater precision and power. Those teams that breezed through Taft last year found the revamped Eagles a tough nut to crack. Therefore, those that Taft held last year should now be comparative push- overs. Dr. Bell Visits Taft English Department Doctor John Bell, district super- intendent, visited English classes at Taft last Friday and addressed the English department at its reg- ular monthly meeting on the sub- ject of the new course of study, which is now being organized by a representative group of English teachers from the public high schools. Miss Maybelle Capron is the Taft representative. Before long English classes will have an opportunity to hear the recently purchased phonograph rec- ords of poetry and Shakespearean plays. Page 10 Taft Tribune hy Study Social Science. Inter-Relations of Human Beings Learned Thereby A By Doris Erickson . Over a tasty snack of chocolate cookies, Mr. Kenneth A. Osbon, his- tory teacher, aired his views on why s'tudents should take up the study of social sciences. First of all, let's see what social science is, spoke Mr. Osbon, The social sciences make a study of the relations of groups of human be- ings to each other-not of , the people of far distant lands, but of Norwood Park to Chicago, of Chi- cago -to Illinois, of Illinois to the United States, and of the United States to the nations of the world. According to Mr. Osbon there is a special importance to Americans in studying social sciences because their government, a representative democracy, is entirely different from the government of other countries. ' 'American Rule Cooperative 'In our country everybody has and is a part of the government. If heunderstands the way his govern- ment works, he can do his part much more efficiently. To under- stand how the government works he must understand how it began. All manner of things are asso- ciated with government works: business and industrial. organiza- tions all fit into and become a part ,ofthe affairs of the nation. - ,Isl there any man who doesn't wonder why his taxes are so high and where the money goes? C By knowing and understanding the aims of our government, an in- formed citizen can help to shape -the foreign policies of the nation. He is able to speak for what he wants and bring about desirable changes. A Lake Shore vs. Northwest Why, you wonder are we on the Northwest side struggling with the same old vertebraic Northwest highway when residents of the Lake Shore and outer drive are en- joying the advantages of splendid new highways. . Those same residents know how to, bring. the necessary pressure on those in power. ,How many Taft pupils know even the names of their representatives in, Congress, in - the state legisla- tures, in the city council? - . How many Taft pupils know that .they live in the largest congres- sional district in the United States? ' .Such knowledge tends to make .an efficient citizen. To good moral character, integrity, rand honesty, rnecessaryxto' the makings 'of an ef- ficient citizen, must be added a Problem Solvecl: Clothes to Wear At Soczlzl Center Ulrmttnurd from page 1, col. 33 Bill Patterson, and Arthur Krause with Mr. Leonard Teuscher, assis- tant principal and head of the Taft center, were shown how to operate an operadio, an instrument similar to a public address system which will be loaned to Taft for use at the dances by Miss Badt. Olperadio to Serve for Overflow The operadio consists of several loud speakers, two microphones, a lapel mike for the instructor, and an attachment for phonograph re- cords. It will be of real service when it is necessary to use both gymnasiums for dancing. Eight boys and eight girls will be selected by the instructor to assist in teaching dancing. Four- teen boys will also be wanted for work in the cloak room. They will be compensated for their efforts. Center to Continue Only If Well Attended Extremely fortunate in being awarded a center, Taft will be al- lowed its continuance only as long as it receives full-hearted patron- age. Its support, however, seems well assured since it was placed here in answer to popular demand. It of- fers the young people of the com- munity opportunity for get- togethers at a minimum of expense 110 cents per personb. There are only 17 others of its kind in the city. Mrs. Henrietta Hintz, attendance officer, and Mr. Paul Bigler, ad- ministrative aide, will assist Mr Teuscher in operating the center. But why should we bother our heads with world history when we are active only in local affairs? Because, states Mr. Osbon, knowledge of the methods of gov- ernment in foreign parts will give us more sympathy with their prob- lems and help us understand what they are trying to do. Thus an understanding of world situations would give us a more sympathetic, a less impatient out- look on the acts of other nations and a better understanding of the plans and accomplishments of our nation-perhaps even a better ad- ministration of our local affairs. American Legion Announces Fourth Oratorical Contest Since potential orators will be interested in entering the American Legion's fourth annual national oratorical contest this year, the Trib takes this occasion to give ad- vanced notic of its rules and regula- tions so that they won't be ham- pered by a late start. All local, state, and regional con- tests must be completed and the winners ready for the national finals in the spring. The contestants, high school stu- dents only, will talk upon the sub- ject chosen by the department com- mittee, which will be some phase of history or civics. In the national contest the same ora.tion will be given, and in ad- dition an extemporaneous talk on some phase of tl1e constitution. The prepared oration must be 10 to 12 minutes in durationg the extempor- aneous, four to six. During the contest judges will separately score the contestants, and at the conclusion one winner will be chosen. The contestant scoring highest in the national finals will be awarded a scholar- ship and an engraved wrist watch. Each runner-up in the finals will receive an engraved wrist watch. Boo ii!

Alumni Incluct '41 Grads Tonight June '41 grads will be inducted into the Alumni association to- night at the Norwood fieldhouse. Future plans of the alumni in- clude the Homecoming game with Schurz October 24 at Hanson field, a dinner the following day, and the annual election of officers early in November. Of the June graduates, 66 have gone on to college. Thirty-one have enrolled at Wright, five at North Park, five at Maine Township, four at Lake Forest, and two at each of the following: University of Illi- nois, University of Chicago, and Armour Institute. Illinois Normal Teachers' College, Notre Dame, Illinois Institute of Technology, Knox, St. Mary's, Ri- pon, Carroll, Wisconsin, and St. Olaf in Minnesota have one repre- sentative each from Taft.

Independence Guaranteed There are times when a spec program might be appropriz but the council has been unable get on the air because the ra time has been paid for by an vertiser. Now complete indep dence will be guaranteed. Doctor Johnson cannot insure percent participation in the ra project because each school m purchase its receiving sets. It is hoped that donations fr graduating classes, PTA groups, special funds raised by the stude will defray the cost of this eql ment. .l- School Now Safe From Explosions Would-be chemists can no lon blow up the school.

English Classes To Enjby Classics Via Orson Welles According to Miss Mabel Berquist, head of the English department, they have just decided upon a new method of teaching the pupils of Taft. Forty dollars worth of new phonograph records have been pur- chased by the department to illus- trate to the students just how the famous dramas took place and to bring to their minds a more start- ling visualization of literature. Among the recordings to be found in the collection are Maurice Evan's immortal Hamlet, Orson Wells' Julius Caesar, Raymond Massey's Abe Lincoln in Illinois and many records of poetry. The money to purchase this col- lection of famous works was earned by the English department through the sale of spelling lists last semester. Taft Tribune Page 111. 390 New Books Honor Society ominates Added to Library Since September Although 390 new books have al- ready been added to the library shelves since September 2, Miss Vair- ginia Barrett, head librarian, ex- pects to average 75 more per week during the future. A special notice to careers clas- ses is that Country Lawyer by Partridge, last year's best seller, is among the additions. Boys linterested in aeronautics should read I Want Wings by Lay, a biography of an aviator. To keep step with the Latin American events arrives the book entitled South American Primer by Carr. New Books for Faculty Also added is a fine selection of books for the teachers' portion of the library. This includes You Go Your Way by Katharine Brush: Low Man on a Totem Pole by H. Alan Smithg The Keys of the Kingdom by Cronin: Berlin Di- ary by Shirerg and The Sun Is My Undoing by Stein. Again Miss Barrett reminds her habitue that all personal books .in- cluding zipper notebooks should not be brought into the library. The middle door is used for entrance only and the south for exit. Preparedness Advised To facilitate matters, students are asked to have their library cards out and books open for the students assistants to check as they make their exit. A fee of 10 cents will be charged for a lost library card unless the student wishes to wait 30 days after reporting his loss. Cards and library lessons will be given to the 1A's and 1B's soon. Assisting the librarian this year is Miss Evelyn Cromwell. Taft Radio Team Vies with Hirsch Young America Answers will feature the Taft radio team in com- petition with Hirsch high school Saturday, October 11, over station WBBM. Team members are Norman Es- serman, Meredith Granger, Bruce Kelso, Carol Thormahlen, and Wil- liam Vlasak-all 4B's. Mr. Ken- neth Osbon, sponsor of the team, selected them by giving tryouts to eligible students in the auditorium over the loud speaker system. Ques- tions on sports, politics, and social sciences were rapidly thrust at them as will be done on the actual program. Winner of the contest will be awarded a prize. Several hundred tickets for the broadcast are available. Gasoline Gringos Betray Readers With GasBugg By Norman Esserman Donald and Art Grindle, those gay, gasoline gauchos, are betray- ers! Did they go to California ,in a Model T , with Venetian blinds? No! The double crossers went in a snazzy six-cylinder Ford with radio and heater. CSee Taft Trib, June 20.5 Instead of 50 dollars and a com- pass, the sissies were equipped with white walled tires and a fog Light. Going the southern route, these Nights of the Road tno errorl decided to save money by sleeping outside. Everything was fine until they hit the desert. - Don reports that driving on and on in tl1at sizzling waste land made him wish for the blessed coolness of room 112. When the sun went down, they dragged their cots- to the side of a New Mexican road. Wrapping them- selves in a sheet they drifted into slumberland. Snuggle Pups? As the wee hours of the morning drew closer, so did our heroes. By 4 a. m. the sheets were wrapped tightly around them. Mumbling soemthing about icebergs at night and purgatory during day, they put their cots in the car and Went ,on. When Horace Greeley hinted that one should go west, he didn't ex- pect anything like this. ' Arriving in Alhambra Heights at'- 12:30 a. m., they fell up two flights of stairs, pushed their startled brother Bill out of his bed onto the floor, and collapsed. Yippee! Hollywood And then Hollywood, that mag- ical name-a place where the blon- des are so bright that the layman has to wear sun-glasses-girls in slacks, girls in shorts, girls in dresses everywhere, and just girls, girls! After remarking that he liked Chicago weather much better than that of the far West, Don reports that the chamber of commerce la- ments could be heard for blocks.

Elaine Anderson, Lois Mau, Elaine Olson, Harriet Grund, and Charlotte Frank are the candidates for vice-presidency. , 1 Thwse for secretaryship are Irma Mae Bone, Evelyn Sievers, and Ma.- rion Collins while those for treas- urer are Robert Dyni, Lillian Ma- rek, and Doris Zonsius. Miss Martha Hinkel, sponsor, em- phasizes that freshmen should be- gin making the honor roll right now. If the 1B should fail to meet the honor roll requirements, then the privilege of belonging to the so- ciety will not be offered againuntil his 3A semester. 1B's up to 3A's must actually earn 19 points each,term. How- ever, in 3A and after, an average of 18 points for all the semesters in high school is the only requirement -+that is, grades may vary, --one time getting less and another earn- ing more, but' all these must aver- age 18 points. Freshmen are urged to utilize study periods so that they can join the club in their 1A semester. It is not only the fun invo1ved,' but the honor and glory one claims when he can proudly state that he is a member of the Honor society. For minors a. G earns one point: an E , two: and an S , three.

Page 12 Taft Tribune October 3, 194 Courtesy Rules at Taft Do you ride a bicycle? Don't think this doesn't mean you if you come to school by some other method of transportation. Indirectly, it affects every member of Taft high school. In two years Taft has made such strides that it is gaining recognition all over the city. Don't you want it to be the best high school in Chicago? Recognized as best not only by its own students, but by everyone? Then it is everyone's obligation and satisfaction also to help improve condi- tions at school. The first suggestion applies to boys and girls who park their bicycles in the court. You are outdoors, and a very big outdoors it seems around Taft high school. You are happy and noisy and you do not realize that your noise disturbs classes. If you will stop to think, you will remem- ber how unpleasant some of your own classes are because of that noise outside. Thoughtfulness until you leave the school grounds is all that is needed, but to help you, here are a few guides: 1. Speak in low tones. 2. Do not whistle. 3. Do not sing. 4. Do not sound horns. 5. Do not ride around the court. not loiter in the court. 6. Do 7. Leave as soon as possible. How does this affect those who do not ride bicycles? You too are dis- turbed in your classes by thoughtless conduct: you have the high repu- tation of Taft to protect. What can you do? Remind noisy students in a courteous way. Upper classmen can be especially helpful in this. All you need to say is: We don't do that at Taft. President Promotes School Forums In order to build civilian morale, soundly based on understanding of the problems arising from the world crisis, the President has requested Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt to develop and inaugurate a nation-wide program of public discussion. He urged that the program be organized by the United States Office of Education with the coopera- tion of colleges and public school systems. The genius of American democracy, the President stated in a let ter to Mr. McNutt, ls expressed in the traditional independence and freedom of our State and local schools and school systems. Their freedom of action for educational purposes must be preserved. It is upon that freedom that we hopefully depend for assurance that the judgments of our people will be soundly based. The President also referred to the beneficial results of the forums and study-discussion groups developed since 1935 through the Federal Forum Project of the Office of Education. Now, under the impact of the defense emergency, wrote the President, I am convinced that it is more important than ever that the people be encouraged freely to assemble to discuss their common problems. Indeed, as I have said, this is one of the freedoms that we are determined to defend. Both the President and Mr. McNutt emphasized the great value of educational forums and public discussion which have been promoted during the past six years by the United States Office of Education. The administrator expressed special interest in the recognition of public dis- cusslon as a means of building civilian morale. Good morale, said Mr. McNutt, is as important to defense as guns and planes. Morale ln a. democracy is unity of purpose based on common understanding. That kind of morale thrives on free and full discussion. The responsibility of promoting democratic discussion falls on our tra- ditional institutions which we have set up for enlightenment-our col- leges and schools. I am sure that our institutions of learning will respond wholeheartedly to the request of the President of the United States. Mr. McNutt announced that he was calling on the United States Com- missioner of Education, John W. Studebaker, to take immediate steps to adapt the experience and organization of the office of Education in launching the program purposed by the President. Super Snoopers Ruse Private Lives Of 'Coedutantes' By Shirley Kaage Timely Tips: Swede Anderson, 4B, made quite a sensation at the Taft-Lane game when, while carrying a various as- sortment of candy, ice-cream bars, and 'coke,' he fell flat on his face and besmeared the atmosphere.

Harry Althamar, 4B, caused quite a stir when he gave out the follow- ing: Mithter Othbon, could yewth waith thill I gith my new teef be- fore I givth my talk? Stairway to the Stars might well have been the theme of Mr. Saul Farber's first period gym class when Bernard Dabbert, 4A, af- forded amusement by suspending Friend Dick Lewis on the ringers about five feet from the ceiling. Jay Morgan, 1B, may be heard any morning reciting her locker combination from memory before putting in a gruelling five minutes trying to get it to work.

He stands a symbol of clear-eyed innocence, moral fortitude, dirty socks, and a love for the game. Any resemblance to any football player dead or alive is purely in- tentional-we doubt it.

Requests The of Inguiring Reporter By Donald Johnson The inquiring reporter asks this week, What is your favorite radio program and why? Ruth Gablitz, IB, says, My fav- orite program is the Hit Parade because I like to listen to popular songs. Ray Howland, 1B, pondering a moment, finally states that Henry Aldridge is the program that most interests him because Henry re- minds him so much of his older brother. Baseball games seem to intrigue Bob Grabowski, 2B, for he states, I listen to the ball games because I like the sport as a whole. To scan the dial and find the news, then to go on to Kay Kyser, is what June Yeaman, 2A, thinks is the best way to spend her time listening to the radio. Bill Leighton, 3A, is interested in the popular slant of Make-believe Danceland to see if he still is up to date, but Phillip Planishek, 2A, likes the fast moving western sto- ries of the Lone Ranger. Frances Krone, 3B, also listens to Kay Kyser, but she likes the way he jumps around on the stage. Richard Parigini, 4B, says that he likes to listen to the strange ex- periences of other people: so he listens to We the People. Stella Dallas is my favorite pro- gram, because of the love interest, exclaimed Bill Lessmann, 4A. Eagle Squawks Grammar in Demand Although there are many super clubs at Taft, how about someone's starting a grammar club? Many myself, are probably about predicate ad- hanging participles, students, like in the dark jectives and but are afraid to admit it. Grammar-minded Cheerers Wanted! In order to make Taft outstand- ing at football games, why don't some students start a regular cheer- ing section? Attendance would have to be guaranteed. A block of students could do different yells by forming letters of the alphabet with paper squares. M. T. Technicolor sound movies of the activity going forward in the defense program operated by the Chicago public Schools will be shown at an assembly next Wednesday the second period by courtesy of Mr. Lee Robins, on leave from Taft. Mr. Robins, now acting as head of the downtown office of visual education, took the mo- vies. the Month Or sponsor strikes back are the words of Prin. L. A. Hoefer, as he selects Lorraine Risavy for girl of the month because of her noble work in independently editing the Trib's first issue of the year. The corrugated brow of the new editor-in-chief, as shown in the ac- companying candid photo of her at work, is not one of her permanent features. Assumed or otherwise, that harried school-marmish look may have been the element that brought her 100 percent co-opera- tion from her colleagues on the staff. ' Every day as late as the twelfth period Lorraine toiled away like Tillie so that eventually from tow- ers of scribbled reports emerged the first edition of Volume five. Dervish-like she whirled between the pile of proof-reading she car- ried home each night, her home- work, and her job as a dentist's receptionist. Altruistically she sacrificed hex sporting interests--tennis, swim- ming, and pingpong--for her pu- blic. One of the Taft founders, Lor- raine came from Steinmetz as a 2B when Taft opened. An honor student, she is not yet sure which career will claim her-journalism. dentistry, or stenography. Staff note: Full apologies are hereby offered to Lorraine for the publication of a, picture which re- sembles her only in a harried mo- ment. Slnce the school ought to be familiar with the real face of the editor-in-chief of its paper, the Trib will in an early issue publish a photograph that will do justice to Lorraine's true beauty. The Tribune Presents M zss Beaver With the rhythm of the typewriter keys in her ears, Miss Mabel Beaver works on industriously, oblivious of the noisy click. Miss Beaver was born in Northbrook, Illinois, and after receiving her diploma from the Jefferson high school in Chicago, she went on to North- western university where she received l1er Bach- elor of Arts degree, majoring in history. Her career as a teacher began at the Harvey elementary school where she taught seventh gradeg she then transferred to the Fulton high school in Fulton, Illinois, where she taught his- tory and English. Receiving an offer as a stenography teacher, Miss Beaver went to the Morton high school in Cicero, where she taught' first Munson and then Gregg shorthand. Austin high was her next move. Later she transferred to Schurz and finally to Taft. lf Miss Beaver had had her way as a youngster, Taft would now be minus one shorthand teacher, for she had aspiration toward a musical career. I never wanted to be an opera star, she assured, but I would have liked to do the vocal work at a church or similiar organiationf' At present she does belong to a church choir. Heading her list of hobbies are gardening and music. She enjoys walking and traveling and was very fond of driving until an accident last autumn somewhat dimmed her enthusiasm. Wreckless drivers and people who tear paper into tiny bits and scatter them throughout the school building are her pet peeves. Besildes teaching shorthand and typing, Miss Beaver is sponsor of the Alpha Trl Hi Y. I-znrron-IN-CHIEF, LORRAINE Rlslsvv. smff, I-lem-y m-In-r, Bill lione- mer. Bill Bessemer, Mary lloarlnl.

Seven Rahs for Remember a. certain sports writer of one of Chicago's leading papers remarked last year on the spirit and perforinance of the fighting sons of Taft? He also predicted a winning team in the near future. Taft was in scoring position a number of times in their first game of the season. Semi, the team that handed Tat't its only bad defeat of last season, barely won this sea- son's game. Lane, the biggest high school in Chicago and a boy's school at that. received a bad start in being held scoreless for one-half of the game and then won by only one touch- down. Proof is in the pudding: so the saying goes. Well, here is the proof: Taft has definitely improved since its first season ot' competition and is out for revenge. So beware. mighty warrior of Lane. stanch Viking of Amundsen, vicious bulldog of Schurz: the Taft Eagle is hungry for prey! Kupcinetl Good and Loud! Coach Joe Kupcinet's blood and sweat have made possible the boys' unique showing. To teach them the art of football in half the time other schools take. he has had to use new, revolutionary methods and has willingly toiled from dawn till da.rk. Every week Coach Kupcinet. ap- points a new captain for the one game only. Thus, he goads the pig- skin toters to inspired activity, for the best acting captain will have the honor of being selected the official one. Ray Zjawinski and Harry Alt- hamar headed the team at the Senn and lane games respectivelyg Henry Vandenburgh will lead at the Sullivan melee tomorrow. Football devotees should not be surprised if Taft has an all-city team within a year or two-as a member of the squad said as he looked out over the athletic field. All this and Kupcinet too . . .

Kicking, blocking, passing, running, Plays that call for Lrawn and cun- ning, Determination in yours eyes- Hero' sturdy, brave and wise! Noses broken while in action Only add to your attraction. Opposing teams seem cruel, outrag- eous- Hero sturdy and courageous. Off the field, after the game, Casanova's put to shame. Sure as when the line you're crash- ing, You're a hero-bold and dashing! Crowds may laud you, cheering loudly, School spirit upholding proudly, But this, before the last amen, Immortal hero-we knew you when. Tomm Taftite Struts His Stuff By Monsieur Robert Smith Standards such as white and brown shoes, saddle or otherwise, fingertip coats, blue slacks, and multi-colored loafer coats are still to be seen on the campus. As winter approaches, summer sport shoes will gradually be re- placed by heavy brogues in medium or chocolate brown. To set off this somber footgear, hose manufactur- ers are going to town with such styling as pebble grain, the ever popular stripes, and light shades of solid colors. Pin Stripes Popular In the trouser line solid blues and browns with pin stripe or sim- ple pattern are still fashionable, but rough tweeds or gray flannels are really out in front in popularity. For dress the three-buttoned, sin- gle-breasted suit is the most pop- ular. Extra special events call for a double-breasted blue in herring- bone or chevron pattern. For school wear plaid flannel shirts are popular. For dress white, solid blue, brown, and blocked ef- fects are most widely worn. Belts Invite Luxury Tax Belts and suspenders have sprung out in glass with gold plated buck- les on the belts and gold plated metal parts on the suspenders. New- est thing in belts is a tooled leather number with western styling and silver buckle. Gabardine and corduroy have been put to use in the manufacture of fingertip coats many of which are rainproof.

Johnson There is frost in the air nipping at our noses. Winds whip about us swirling the fallen leaves into ac- tion. It is definitely fall, which starts us thinking of eerie corn- stalks standing forlornly against the wind, of plump golden pump- kins cuddled cozily close to tl1e earth, and of a big yellow moon hung low in the sky. This is a perfect setting for Hal- lowe'en-that day of mystery when almost any exciting thing may hap- pen. It is like a story. Vie have the setting, and the characters are ready made: make-believe ghosts, and witches, and black cats with backs arched shiveringly. We are the authors weaving the plot, plan- ning the action, creating the sus- pense. If the climax is handled skillfully, there will be a happy ending. Have a good time Hallowe'en. Good times when packed with ac- tion and suspense are like good stories-they are always more sa- tisfying when they end happily for all concerned. .-. Batonic Mystery Still Unsolved By Norman Esserman What happened to the baton's twirlers? Remember when the twir- lers' batons disappeared? tSee Taft Tribune, September 19.9 After they were returned, the incident was for- gotten. The girls had their batons, the assembly its twirlers, and Pat Earle, the dog house. This time the consequences are serious. Not only were two batons missing at the Safety assembly, Thursday, October 9, but also two of the girls. Kidnapped was the cry heard through the halls as the social lions of Taft searched the school for two of fits famous beauties. Margaret Ann Scott was the on- ly strutter dropping her baton on the stage. Has Miss Earle had to move over and make room in the dog house for Elaine Giese? After the assembly both girls went to their classes as if nothing had happened. Pat Earle remarked, I'm afraid t0 C0mD9t9 with Margaret. She seems to be able to rumba, twirl, and pick the baton off the floor at the same time. Elaine must have the same opin- ion because she ran from further competition. Both of these girls are star twir- lers. Taft Tribune Meet the Senior Girls, Boys At a meeting of the Senior Girls' club held last Wednesday the members pictured above were elected officers. They are, left to right: Wilma Dubs, presidentg Jean Cullen, vice-presidentg Dorothy Wleklinski, secretaryg Norma Tess, treasurer. See club column for further news of Senior Girls. Orchestra Picks I Fifth Symphony For Fall Concert Will Beethoven stop Hitler? is a question currently popular among music lovers at Taft. Per- haps the answer to this problem will be given in the auditorium December 9 at the fall concert when the concert orchestra performs Beethoven's fifth symphony. The connection between Beet- hoven and Hitler came about through the current V campaign. It seems that the fifth sympho- ny contains the Morse code rhythm for the letter V 1 . . . - J as the theme for its first movement. Col. A. Sweet, guest conductor for the evening, will lead the or- chestra in one of his own marches and a musical comedy selection. Colonel Sweet was selected by Victor Herbert in 1910 to direct a. show starring Fritzi Scheff and la- ter became famous as musical di- rector of the Ringling Brothers circus. They can stand up with the best in the city. There might be some as good but none better. The mystery is: why don't Elaine and Pat twirl for Taft? Their skill is known. They both have batons and uniforms. As Hamlet said, Something is rotten in Denmark. Schurz Bout Unites Grads tContinued from frontpagey for the alumni, the football team, and everybody present. Tickets to this first Taft home- coming may be purchased for 28 cents from business managers or for 55 cents at the gate. One hun- dred percent division rooms will be awarded plaques in the form of sil- ver footballs to paste on room doors. Division representatives are urged to sell tickets to connnunity storekeepers, parents, and friends. Alumni may also purchase tickets at the Norwood Park fieldhouse all week from 7:30 to 9:30 p. m. A huge turnout of Taftites and alumni is expected since Taft has never before fostered an event of this type. The Schurz game is the chosen date because of the large number of former Schurzites at Taft. Come out to the game, cheer on the team, and have a rollicking good time. Remember the date - October 25. Nobso, the Taft alchemist, fore- casts a Taft victory thus: I, Nos- bo, say that the future of the Ea- gles has an optimistic cast. Schurz is on the retrograde while Taft, thanks to my special emulsions, is getting stronger by the light year. The scores would be ignominious. I have spoken.

Yes. everybody in the building knows it. We probably all want a car like that, but a roar like that of a train going through a tunnel doesn't help anybody in an English class to find a dangling participle. The boy outside who tries to attract the attention of the fellow in class only helps the poor chap to get a dirty look from the teacher. Don't do your friends any favors that will get them into trouble. If you are a bother to other people, some day during one of your exams someone else is likely to be on the steps in front of the window doing the same to you. So that we both get good grades on our first floor classes, let's have a. mutual defense pact: We won't heckle you, and you had better not heckle us. Norman Esserman, 4B Are You Hiding Your Talents? The last week of September was designated as trial entertainment week in the lunchroom by the Student Council in an attempt to bring the students a more enjoyable lunch period. Another motive was to quiet the lunch periods in order to eliminate disturbance to the pupils who study in room 304 that adjoins the lunch- room: and if sight is to be trusted, the aim has been quite well accom- plished during the few performances the Council has arranged. Despite the fact that the students in charge of the entertainment have been working under the handicap of not having enough talent, each performance has been well done and has brought praise from both stu- dents and teachers. If you should happen to be one of those backwoods buddies who a.re able to perform and are just too bashful to do so, get Wise to yourself! Forget yourself in the pleasure that you can furnish others and help further the Counci1's project, thanks for the development of which goes to James Downing, 3A, and Donald Johnson, 4B, both members of the Council. Eat, Drink, Be Merry-In Comfort Eat, drink and be merry for we may die, might well be streamlined just a little: Eat, drink, and be merry in Taft's clean lunchroom. Mrs. Blanche Smith, manager of the lunchroom, invites all Taftites to join the One-hundred Percent club. All one need do to become a member is to return his bottles and trays to the proper place and leave a clean table for the next period. It's more fun to come to a clean table than to one so cluttered with papers and dishes that all appetite vanishes. Wlith the comfort of their fellow students in mind, every Taftite will want to become a member of this new organization.

Offthe Beam 0...- ' , --e Post Course-Book Lull This columnist has come to the conclusion that course books def- initely lack imagination! An awful lot of students had to do some fast talking in order to escape colliding with the hairbrush after the last marking period. Has that F in history inspired you to do bigger and better things in the future? And let's hope your memory won't leave you stranded in the next chem test. The period after the issuing of those fatal marks should be given a special name by educators. In the life of a student it corresponds to the Era of Learning after the Dark Ages. It usually results in the majority of students acquiring a faint resemblance to The Think- er. n Didja Know- That there are only 69 more days 'til Christmas?

Gerald Plato, 3A, and Eldridge Adams, 4A, cheerleaders, replied, We have to make this game the biggest success of the season. If all the students and alumni will pull together, we're sure the Taft football team will maul Schurz, and, for goodness sake, cheer. After a little hesitation, Jack Lippert, 1B, replied, We should beat Schurz and show them we still have the support of the alumni. I think it will be a grand idea, stated Frances Quan, 2B, and I sure hope we'll win. I believe it will inspire the alumni who were on the team last year, as we've nev- er played Schurz before. Mr. Irving Ruben, bookie, re- plied, The inauguration of a Homecoming day will provide a real opportunity for the alumni to 'come back! The spirit and fun at such a time gives one a grand and glorious feeling. Joan Carpenter, 4B, declared, I think it will be a grand idea. With the alumni who played football last year at the game, the present team should be inspired to victory. Eagle Squawks, Taftite Talks I A. W. O. L.

I hope the Council can continue this policy.

Experience Speaks It seems one doesn't realize what Taft can really mean until it's too late. Many are the grads who can return to visit once in a while, but many are the ones who can't be- cause of working or school hours. They are the ones who complain, The boss is always riding me, or else it's, Who invented calculus anyway? Beware, dear studes, remain in full appreciation of dear old Taft as long as you remaing else you too shall become the voice of exper- ience. Frank Zcmaitis, president of A. lumni association. Henry Vandenburg, captaining the Eagles against Sullivan Octo- ber 5, showed the fighting spirit that has made him one of the most aggressive members of the football squad. Hurt in the first quarter, Henry put his injured back out of his mind and was in the game at the start of the second half. The seriousness of the could be told by the look on the face of Coach Joe Kupcinet as he brought Vandy out of a semi- conscious state. From the stand came a murmur as the rooters realized that the blue and silver Eagle lying out in the field was Henry. The chance to be captain, to lead his team, a. two-year ambition, was being lost because of the failings of the human body. His body may have been down, but his heart was urging the team to play for Taft. During the second quarter the struggle of mind over matter was written on his face. When Vandy would straighten his back, the only sign of pain was the redding of his face. After the half the struggle was won. The mind and heart had tri- umphed over their elements. There goes No. 17, Vandenburg, out for a pass. He's got it! That injury cry was heard as Vandy played his best game. When Taftites talk about the Sul- livan game, they are proud to say, Captained by Vandenburg, the boy whose heart wouldn't let him down! And so Prin. L. A. Hoefer has selected our valiant hero as Octo- ber's Boy of the Month. Henry ex- cels not only on the field, but also in the clubroom, for he was elected president of the Senior Boys last week. The Tribune Presents Mr. Rapper See America first is the slo- gan of Coach Jack Rapper, formerly of McKinley high school, who has come to Taft to head the basket- ball, golf, and track teams. New York born, Coach Rapper at- tended the University of Illinois in preparation for teaching physical education and English. Last summer's travel took Taft's new faculty member to Mexico. The entire continent will have his once- over in another year or two. Since travel makes the mind broader, the basketball team ought to roam all over its opposition. Mexican jumping beans and hot chili gave the coach some peppery ideas. Mr. Rapper believes in making a system bend to meet the team ra- ther than having the team play on certain lines. After seeing a practice session, Coach Rapper said, The boys know their fundamentals and have the right spirit to put Taft in the first division. What has most impressed Mr. Rapper at Taft is the school spirit, but let him say so himself. The spirit of the school seems almost unbelievable. In a school of Taft's size the turnout for the teams is amazing. His expectations about the golf team prompted the coach to say, This team has always brought home victories, and I see no rea- son why it shouldn't continue to do so. With a wave of his hand Mr. Rapper said that the track team will be taken care of when the time comes. Maybe Coach Rapper will be the Yitllpel' that wraps up future vlicto- r es.

Biology students of Fenger high now ow11 a pair of canaries whose offspring promise to be singing for the students by the time Christmas rolls around. South Shore high school has be- gun making plans for its grad- uation in February. This will be the school's first graduating class. Health for Defense is the motto being carried out by boys and girls of Foreman during the month of October. Their objective is to see their doctors and dentists and bring in written records as to the state of their health. Taft to be Initiated to Wright Wright college is turning its Fri- day afternoon dances over to a dif- ferent high school each week. When Taft's turn comes, not only the stu- dents will be invited but also the dance band to provide the rhythm. A Junior Red Cross Council has been organized at Farragut high school and is to act as a hobby club. Its purpose is to familiarize the students with this partiotic or- ganization and also to give actual service to the country. Waller high school celebrates its 40th anniversary. Its first school paper, the Yellow and Blue, was published :in 1901. Schurz Cleans Up Schurz is carrying on a corridor campaign . This can1paign's pur- pose is not only to remove debris from the halls, but also to instill the students with the desire to patronize waste baskets. The United States Marine band will make its initial appearance in Arkansas City, Kansas, at the Ar- kansas high school in October. l- Who Knows the Answer?

A tiny comb less than two inches long is thrust out next. Even a cobbler would appreciate this knife which con- tains a small shoemaker's awl for punching holes in leather. Ziggers! Be sure to stay on the good side of Mr. Osbon, for quoth he, When a thick-skinned person attacks me, I use this long, sharp blade, but on a thin-skinned attacker this short blade will do. fOne question, please, How do you tell whether a person has a thick or thin epidermis?J Last, but not least to be dis- played, is a button hook-a re- minder of the days of chivalry when it was used to button milady's slipper.

Home Managers Learn Secrets Something close to magic is hov- ering over the heads of the girls in the home management classes these days. The gals have come to the point of being able to make a bed without removing the patient. The secret process involved in removing the percales is under the management of Mrs. Ruby C. Kallman, R. N., who is instructing the girls in home management classes about the simple phases of home nursing. Don't be alarmed if one follow- er of this akabadabra hocus pocus suddenly commands you to show your tonsils. All the poor thing really wants :is your temperature reading, for that is the latest sub- ject the classes have embarked up- on. The next issue of the Trib will carry the complete story of the fas- cinating work done in the home management classes so that at last the reasons for this course's great popularity will be revealed. When all 10 intricate and fas- cinating parts have been extendeu, you have a terrifying article which resembles some instrument of tor- ture used in the Middle Ages, but with a twist of the wrist everything is back in its place, and who would guess the mystery of Mr. 0sbon's knife?

Here's Answer By Doris Erickson So you want to be a secretary! Does that mean you will be satis- fied to remain a secretary, or have you ambitions for something bigger and better, perhaps an executive position? The enterprising stenographer can readily make himself almost indispensible to his employer-so valuable that the employer would think twice before giving him up. These days a girl is expected to pinch hit in many tasks. Even a receptionist or switchboard oper- ator has a better chance if she can take dictation. And, of course, shorthand is the opening wedge for many a business career. Stenographers In Demand Stenography is now one of the largest fields of employment for young women. Essentials for oc- cupation are absolute accuracy in punctuation and spelling. Mrs. Henrietta Hintz, commer- cial teacher, says, Even if a stu- dent :is not planning on a commer- cial career, a knowledge of short- hand will come in handy in college for taking down notes. It is also a stepping stone be- tween careers. A person skilled in shorthand and typing can work at such while waiting for a better chance at his chosen profession to come up. Now more than ever the business world offers opportunities to boys. From Office Boy To Riches The male stenographer, .if he re- veals. sufficient initiative and in- telligence, is in an excellent po- sition. to rise to a job of executive responsibility. There is need for male stenographers in law, medi- cine, and banking. There is also a more limited up- portunity in court reporting. By commencing as a stenographer in a business in which he is intel ested, an ambitious boy can learn the simple rudiments of the busi- ness and gradually work himself to the top. Although there are usually more people trained in typing than there are jobs to go around, employers constantly complain that they can- not find enough who meet the ne- cessary high standards of speed, accuracy, and neatness. So if you want to be sure of a po- sition, no matter how small, learn the basic rules of shorthand, typ- ing, and simple accounting and say goodby to pavement pounding.

Canine Poll Shows Taft Education Is Going To the Dogs By Mary Elaine Gill Could it be that the canine world has decided to elevate itself by participating in the pastime of ed- ucation? It would seem so as one observes various species of dogs, from mon- grel to pedigree, strutting down the corridors or entering various class- rooms supposedly seeking the fun- damentals of life. Not only do the dogs act like in- dustrious students, but they too have their day at causing a commo- tion in the halls. Puppy Disciplined Take the little toy Spitz who went barking lris way through the halls one day only to be stopped by Miss Jane Carleton., English teacher. Upon being told to behave the puppy let out a howl, and an in- nocent bystander, Donald Johnson, frankly told the hound to be quiet like a good doggie or he'd get an encore for talking back. The pup then high-tailed it down the hall and managed to leave the school premises, but immediately! If He Knew Then! Then there was the dog who un- guardedly stepped into Mr. Arthur Mooney's office. Although it is very much appre- ciated that the pets wish to broaden their scope, it is an injustice to keep them in school, and all hope and pray that they have enough fortitude to kip for the remainder of the year. Cashier Bowls 175 Number one bowler from the lunchroom crew is Mrs. Gertrude Ritchie, who has come to Taft to serve as cash.ier. Her average is 175. It has been rumored that she is now teaching her boss, Mrs. Blanche Smith, how to hit the 10 pins. Mrs. Ritchie's son, Edward, is a 2B at Taft. Dolan Exposes Secret Lives By Pat Dolan At last they're discovered, those heretofore unrevealed facts in the lives of some of Taft's illustrious students. For a start, delve into Annette Kruto's history. Obviously embar- rassed, the blushing Annette began this amazing account of her life. She immigrated to America quite early in life because she couldn't get enough Ovaltine in the old country. She passed the time from babyhood to first grade-hood eat- ing peanuts. Reverses Apple Tradition In grammar school she endeared herself to her teachers by bringing them sauerkraut instead of apples. Her name was formerly 'Abigail, but after contemplating a movie career, she decided Annette would look better in lights. And now, children, hop on the magic carpet and go way, way back into the dim past and take a peep into the early years of Robert Smith's existence fthe boy with the big suitcase! which, by the way, does not contain his lunch. Lost Personality Discovered Observation soon discloses that he is the lad who played the accor- dion while Rome burned. fThey called him Nero in those days.J Research reveals a rare speci- men in Shirley Meltzer, whose earliest records show her spouting poetry at the age of two. In 'fact her first words were quotations from The Raven. Bob Wilkens's early childhood was spent in reading the funnies. This is the background that en- ables him to imitate anything from Andy Gump to The Claw fwith the aid of a garden trowelb in Smilin' Jack. LOST: Key attached to a small beaded Indian charm.

Karen Madsen Wins Freshman Essay Contest Karen Madsen, student of Miss Monaco's 1B English class, has been awarded first place for her essay on The Student's Responsi- bility for School Property, which was entered in competition with the entire freshman class. Honorable mention goes to Cora- lynn Manchee, Gene Mason, Virgi- nia McCormick, and Adele Wojdak. Karen's essay follows: Character education is not some- thing which is left behind when school days are over. It is some- thing which will be part of us, all our life. A good character education starts when we are old enough to talk and think for ourselves. It is easier to begin a new habit which is correct than it is to break a bad habit which has been a part of us for many years. These good habits which we make should include thoughtfulness of others and their property. This is one of the most important things in our character education. We should learn not to be selfish and should take as good care of another person's property as we would our own things, for not many people would intentionally damage their own things while they would hurt others without thinking. We should be ready to compli- ment our friends and not always be saying and thinking of ourselves. If you had a new hat and you wore it to school one day, you would want someone to compliment you and not always be saying, I have this and I have that. So don't you be that way. Jobs Available For Qualified According to the latest report or the Illinois State Employment Ser- vice, jobs are available in the fol- lowing fields. Office boys and messengers are in demand, but applicants must make a good appearance and be graduated in the higher level of their class. Stenographers must test above average to qualify for the many positions now open. Boys are needed in factories to perform such duties as assembling, machine operating, and labor. Applicants for stockroom and shipping clerks do not need exper- ience. Bookkeeping and clerical positions are adequately filled by more experienced workers. Pro- fessional and technical positions require graduation from college or university. There are no changes rln specifi- cations for prospective job-hunters.

Player trying play that's best, Fans upbraiding play with jest. Clutching pigskin, mady running, Thoughts of tackles gladly shunn- ins. Bravely risking whole physique.

But at climax never spoken Words of arms and ankles broken Or of days in practice spent Improving team his one intent. Eagles Vanquish Wallerites 6-0 In Third Quarter Taft won its first game in four starts in the north section of the city league by defeating Waller 6 to 0 last Saturday at Winnemac. The margin of victory was great- er than the score indicates. Taft was in constant threat of scoring, but was stopped by seven 15-yard penalties. Not until late in the third quar- ter did Taft score. A pass from Fassnacht to English brought the ball to Waller's 10-yard line. On the next play Fassnacht Went around his own right end for a touchdown. Jack Congdon attempted a drop kick for the extra point, but the kick went wide and the score re- mained 6 to 0. At no time rin the game did Wal- ler produce an offence which might have resulted in a score. But when in possession of the ball Waller had to kick to drive Taft back. Columbus day has become a day of double significance for Taft. Last year on October 12, Taft won its first game by defeating Lake View 13 to 7. This year on October 11, one day before the an- niversary of Columbus's significant achievement, Taft won its first game by defeating Waller. Taft plays Amundsen tomorrow at 12:30 at Hanson field. Park Y. Mrs. Mary Farrell, senior adviser and placement counselor, spoke on Careers in General. In- cluded in the talk were the sub- jects: law, journalism, social sci- ences, nursing, art, commercial de- signing, and secretarial work. At a short business meeting which preceded the program, plans were discussed for the informal in- itiation, which will be carried on rt school and climaxed next Mon- day at the Spook Jamboree. The new members of the Alpha- Tri-Hi-Y are Betty McQuiilkin, Do- ris Zonsuis, Mary Elaine Gill, June Ringquist, Evelyn Stahnke, Wanda Fisher, Annette Kruto, Charlotte Frank, Eleanor Pick, Betty Zurn, Marjorie Belin, Betty Lou Olsen, and Patsy Dolan. Swimmers Now Give Big Splash Speed, style, and stamina are the main factors Coach H. S. Miller is stressing in this season's practice sessions for the junior and senior swimming teams. Dick Norlie, star of last season's junior team, and the fastest sprint man at Taft, will swim the 40-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke events for the senior team this year. Frank Bostwick, newly incor- porated in the senior team, will at- tempt the 100-yard freestyle po- sition. Robert Johnson, the man who ran the mile for the track team last season, will swim the 220- yard freestyle. Leroy Milner, ace backstroker who delights in going through the locker room bear-hugging some poor unfortunate's frame into an hourglass figure, will hold the 100- yard backstroke position. Joe Flanagan will probably try out for the 40-yard free spot which he ably filled while on the junior team. Adviser to Swim Roger Ernst, Mr. Arthur Mooney's personal adviser in advanced alge- bra, is going to enter the 100-yard backstroke and freestyle events. John Peterson, an experienced senior, will swim the 100-yard free- style event. John Granat will try out for the 100-yard breast stroke. Jerry Plato, cheer leader, will probably try for the 100-yard po- sition. Joe Rentcher, an experienced senior swimmer, will do the 100- yard breast stroke. 1B's Get Chance The junior team is slightly short of men this year, but Coach Miller has selected some promising young 1B's from his physical ed- ucation classes to form an intra- mural swimming meet to deter- mine which men are able to swim for the regulars. Carl Reed, the fastest sprint man on the junior team, who can beat many of the seniors, is the main- stay of the juniors this seasons. He wil swim the 40-yard and 100-yard freestyle.

Taftie Apples Serve Children's Aid Collection Soars as Battle of Sexes Progresses One of the most exciting races since the Kentucky Derby is the taffy apple contest being waged in Miss Jane Carleton's 4B division for the benefit of the Thanksgiv- ing collection for the Childrens Aid society. To stimulate more interest, the division is conducting a contest between the boys and the girls. The side that wins will be treat- ed to taffy apples by the losing team. Although it is a close race, the boys, captained by Richard Pari- gini, are ahead so far, probably be- cause of the heroism of one of the boys who contributed 50 cents. But the girls, spurred on by Margaret Kelly, are not to be daunted, and by cutting down their overhead, mainly fewer hairdress- ing appointments, they plan to stage a hlitzkrieg on their op- ponents. At the start ol' the contest Miss Carleton agreed to match the amount the room put in from her own purse. However, both Miss Carleton and her buddies refuse to divulge the exact amount so far collected since they don't wish to let rival divi- sions know what sum they'll have to meet to supersede this grouo. whose aim it is to surpass all others, Gerry Donasch, 2A, State's Ace Archer William Tell had nothing on Geraldine Donash, 2A, who very calmly walked away with the State Archery championship for the in- termediate group held August 9 and 10 at Jackson park. About three years ago Geraldine's father induced her to follow in her uncle's footsteps, and equipped with a 16-pound bow and six arrows she began practice at Columbus park. The following year, 1939, she walked away with the city cham- pionship, retained this honor in 1940, and in 1941 entered the state contest and emerged victorious. -Sh00ts 500 During this meet, she shot 500 arrows, playing the first day from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. with only time out for lunch and from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. the following day. Her winning score was 2,0273 that of the runner-up was 1,977. Besides her little 16-pound bow and six arrows, Geraldine now possesses three bows weighing ap- proximately 42 pounds each and 72 arrows. Although I cannot claim to be a descendant of William Tell, she stated, I can boast of having split an arrow which was in the target at a distance of 40 yards. Gets the Bull's Eye Some terms peculiar to archery are a bull's eye, which is the Fire Prevention Sponsors Contest Students in the Chicago public high schools are invited to enter a fire prevention poster contest spon- sored by the Fire Prevention com- mittee of the Chicago Association of Commerce and the art depart- ment of the Chicago public schools. Three art school scholarships will be given as awards. The student who wins the first award has his choice of school. The announcement of the win- ners of scholarships and honorable mentions will be made in Janu- ary. Any student who wishes to com- pete in this contest may refer to Taft's art teachers for details con- cerning rules and suggestions. center of the target: point of aim, the shooting pointg duck, an arrow going beneath the target, and petticoat, an arrow going astray. One of the most amusing tourna- ments I have ever competed in, revealed Geraldine, was the 'petti- coat' tournament. In this match. count of each 'petticoat' was kept, and the person having the most, which happened to be me, was obli- gated to wear a tiny petticoat on her quiver for one year. Geraldine hopes to compete in the National finals at West Vir- ginia this coming spring. MayorProclaime November 9-15 Education Weelf Mayor Edward J.

November 10 all Chicago public high schools Armistice day will commemo1'ate N with an assem- A ,. p el.. bly. Mr. Clarence Fullmer, Des- plaine Post Legion n a i r e and Taft treas- urer, will de- liver a short address on the subject, The Story of the Armistice. at tl1e assembly given by the E n g l i s h de- partment under the direction of Miss Mabel Berquist. In addition Joan Shaw, English 8 student of Miss Jane Carleton, will speak on the effect of the war on poetry. Joyce Gillespie, Eng- lish 5 student of Miss Capron, will talk on the story of the Armistice. George Hanke, English 7 student of Mrs. Crissie Lascher, will give an address on the Unknown Soldier, and Barbara Ellis, 4A, will present In Flanders Field. The girls' chorus, under the di- rection of Mrs. Ruth Lino, will sing several selections appropriate for A1'mistice, while the mixed chorus under the direction of Mrs. C. E. Smith, will appear on the balcony and sing, Rest, Soldier, Rest. The assembly will be closed with the playing of taps. Mr. Fullmer Taft Tribune Page 27 Lindblom Takes City Golf Title Lindblonrs strong golf team de- feated Taft foursome in the finals for the citywide high school golf tournament at Tam O'Shanter Country club October 22, HW to ya points. Ross Whitney, low man on the Taft team, copped the yz point. Al- though Taft has an exceptionally good team, the Lindblom Hogans outplayed them on almost every hole. One under par for the Maroon and Gold, Chester Wirtel, who placed in the National Amateur Open Golf tournament, shot a 35, one under par, for the first nine holes of Tam's difficult course. He ended with a par 72. Norbert Piasecki played the rocks the second hole. Just as his ball was about to fall into the river it struck the rocks on the other side and bounced back. The Taft men played good golf as was shown by the scores: Ross Whitney, 763 Fred Fassnacht, 793 Norbert Piasecki, 823 Chuck Granger, 84. Taft had battled her way to the semi-finals in the north section and played Steinmetz, winner of the West section, at Big Oaks three times in order to play Lindblom, the champ of the South and Central sections. The team tied Steinmetz twice and, on the last holes of the deciding match, played in semi da1'kness so that artificial light was required to make the last few shots. Fred Fassnacht, captain of the Taft team, hadn't lost a single match in two years of high school competition. Taftis Triple Triumph Trumped Amundsen Topples Before Eagles 7-0 Taft won its second straight game by defeating Amundsen, 7 to 0, at Hanson field, October 18, thus causing one of the greatest upsets in its section. The first quarter Amundsen, aided by a fumble on a punt, was in scoring territory with first down and goal to go, but Taft held, and Amundsen's efforts prevailed no score. From the second quarter on, Taft remained in almost complete possession of the field and was on Amundsen's one-yard line when the half ended. A pass from Fass- nacht to Doebler was good to the one-yard line, but the end of the half stopped a score. Hilgenberg Scores The third quarter was decidedly in Taft's favor. A blocked kick by Zjawinski, guard, gave Taft pos- session of the ball. Taft then dis- played a splendid offence and marched down the field to the 8- yard line. On the next play Hil- genberg ran it over for a touch- down. Fassnacht Makes Point The extra point was tried by Fassnacht and was good, making the score 7 to 0 in favor of Taft. The last quarter Taft was again in threat of scoring, but eager to hold the lead they now had, they played a conservative game instead of risking a chance which might result in a score for Amundsen. When the game ended, Taft was well in the enemy's territory on another touchdown march. Final Play Brings Defeat in Taft Homecoming Before a record crowd of 1,750 Taftites, including 250 alumni and an overwhelming number of par- ents and teachers, Taft played a 9 to 7 defeat to Schurz at its initial homecoming game last Saturday. With the score 7 to 3 in Taft's favor until late in the final quarter, Schurz accomplished a touchdown. The first quarter was a scoreless one for both teams. Late in the second Schurz scored a field goal, and at the half the score was Schurz 3, Taft 0. During the third quarter Taft scored on a pass thrown by Fass- nacht, half back, to Srednicki, end. The extra point was made by Eng- lish, fullback, making the score 7 to 3 in Taft's favor. Late in the last quarter a fourth down pass thrown by Schwall ol Schurz brought the ball to Taft's 10-yard line. With less than twc minutes to play Schurz plunged through to the 3-yard line. Two scoreless attempts were tried, and on the third try Murdock made a touchdown which was good only by inches. The extra. point was wide, and the score was left at 9 to 7. Schurz kicked to Taft with one minute and a half left to play. A 35-yard run back brought the ball on Taft's own 40-yard line. Taft failed to score, and the score re- mained 9 to 7 in favor of Schurz. Eagles FI High Over Waller and Amundsen Left: Fear-not Fassnacht makes first touchdown of season at Taft-Waller melee October 11, giving Taft a 6 to 0 victory. Center: Fassnacht plunges through the Vikings' line for a 10-yard gain in the Taft-Amundsen game October 18. A touchdown in the third quarter by Ray Hilgengerg and an extra point by Carl English gave Taft its second victory of the season. Right: Jim lSrednicki dives for an Amundsen halfback and brings him down for a one- yard loss. Ray Zjawinski and Fassnacht, in the background, are ready to tackle. Taft plays Lake View tomorrow at 12:30 at Winnemac. Page 28 Taft'T1iibune October 31, 1941 Yes, He Made Il, Butt- High school is intended not alone to educate young people in schol- astic fields, but also to develop individual character. The most recent drive proposes to eliminate all unnecessary disturbance throughout the building. Running in the corridors is a particularly pressing problem. The bell rings. Sammy saunters leisurely to his locker. For a minute and a half he dreams and fumbles with his lock. He glances at the clock -one half minute to go. He's off! . At that moment Johnny is rounding the corner. Feet and arms tangle. Books sail through the air. Mary trips over one of Sa1nmy's books. She stuns herself against an open locker. Meanwhile a teacher is patiently waiting for the floor to clear to enter her classroom. Sammy, undaunted, steams ahead. He slips into his seat. The bell rings. He smiles sweetly. He is on time. But the scrimmage outside is still clearing up. Mary walks off in a daze, rubbing her head. Johnny limps to his study like the Spirit of '76. The teacher, who had to wait, starts her class one full minute late. This is just a mild example of what might occur. Death has been known to result from such conduct as Sammy's. Here at Taft we un- doubtedly have the highest type of student body for spirit and stamina. Let us strive to make the Taft corridor at all times a safe and sane place. Jeannete Kane. Courtesy Adds to Cycling Safety We have been given a great privileger-that of riding our bicycles to school. For every privilege given tous, there must be something we have done or will do to earn it. Taft students, as well as Taft have a they are known. For this reason it was good reputation wherever thought they would follow simple courtesy and safety rules, an aid for the convenience and safety of all, iif we co-operate. Rule 1: Do not make more noise than is necessary in coming or leaveing the school on your bicycles. Think of the other fellow in a class. Maybe he's taking an exami- nation and can't think clearly because he has so many distractions. How would you feel if you were in his place. If you come first period or leave the last, don't think this excludes you. It certainly does not. Noise only brings about confusion, and :if you're late, or in a hurry, you will certainly appreciate less noise and more action. Rule 2: Take your bicycle directly to the racks, instead of riding around the school grounds. You not only help subdue noise thus, but you emphasize safety. Riding around carelessly, foolheartedly, prompts danger to yourself as well as to others. Any kind of foolishness will eventually lead to dis- aster. Have you ever been frightened out of your wits or almost knocked down by the swishing by of a careless bicyclist? Take this into con- sideration when you are riding your bicycle. Rule 3: Be sure your bicycle is in good condition. Many accidents have resulted because of negligence in this respect. Do your brakes work? Do you have a horn, lfight, and tail light? This editorial doesn't only pertain to the time you are in school, or going home. Whenever you are on a bicycle, you are assuming a respon- sibility. Taft authorities are aware of the chances you are taking, but because they know the integrity of Taft students, they feel sure this advice weill not be neglected, but will be seriously considerd and acted upon.

When Miss Clara Larson, 1B, al- gebra teacher, asked Alan Hedman why he didn't have his homework, he replied, I was too busy reading 'Math for the Millions' to do it. Corn: A more surprised person was never seen than Miss Catherine Kelly when giving advice on how to purchase and care for silk stock- ings in her sixth period home management class, she took a quick census and found every girl wear- ing anklets. Who was it but Betty Mungai, 3B, who accidentally dropped her bowling ball and astounded her fel- low bowlers by getting a strike?

Taft Tribune Page Mental Telepathy Does It Get Youi- The Spook of lIl1C Month ueries Reporter By Wilma Dubs Puzzled faces were seen by your inquiring reporter when the ques- tion of the week, Do you believe in mental telepathy? was flashed at Taftites. With a pathetic glance, Bob Shamburg, 2A, innocently stated. No, because I haven't a mind. Medard Zabratanski, IB, without a second thought, met the question with a quick, Sure! I don't, but Mom does. She al- ways knows what's bubbling in this brain of mine, answered Barbara Ellis, 4A. Wrinkling his brow, Richard Es- terquest, 2B, asked, What is it? You don't have to rely on men- tal telepathy with all the beauti- ful dreams walking through Taft halls, complimented George Hop- per, 4B. Smiling, Walter Lahey, 4B, re- marked, It all depends on who it's with-meaning the fairer sex. From Mr. Paul Bigler, adminis- trative aide, came a positive, I do not, and Margery Bigler, 1A, agreed with him. What good is it when the per- son is so far away? complained Connie Donegan and Marilyn Eh- man, 4B's. The person you want to think about should be right near you. Furthermore, we don't have time to think. - Sis Holden, SA, quickly an- swered, Yes, where a certain somebody is concerned. Jack Winton, 4A, sadly com- mented, Yes, my girl knows ev- ery time I want a date and she usually beats me to the draw. Halloween Fantasy By Lois Meltzer Goblins frolic, witches revel, Jack-o-lantern, gloating devil, Night of shadows, moonlight mel- low, Candles glowing, eerie, yellow. Graveyard sleeping, now awake. Ghosts step forth while tombstones quake. Now a shadow, crossing moon, 'Tis a witch astride her broom. Broomstick ghost, with pumpkin head And lighted face, calls forth the dead. . Coal-black feline, omen evil, Comes forth quickly, softly steal Martian monsters, Orson Welles, Spooks infesting glades and dells. Wretched creatures, dressed in rags, Ghastly laughter, horrid hags. All year peaceful, not tonight, Bravest persons full of fright, Cowards shaking, turning green, Night of terror, Hallowe'en. Today, October 31, the Taft Trib takes great pleasure in announcing its selected personality for the month-that master of Hallowe'en ceremonies, Scrooge S. Spook. Readers of the Trib are familiar with the antics of this illustrious gentleman. Now it comes to light who nit is that holds the answer on the tip of your tongue, dries up your fountain pen in the middle of a test, and is sure to use tho vanishing act on your homework. When asked what was his pet peeve, Scrooge replied, People who don't believe in ghosts. His hobby proves him to be a true benefactor to Taftites as he collects that red liquid used to dec- orate course books every time the marking peniod comes around. Other than haunting graveyards, tapping on windows, and making unearthly, weird sounds, Mr. Spook takes an active interest in com- municating with the spirits of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra. His great ambitions are to take Henrietta, the last of the wvltches, to the Spook Stomp and haunt the universe. Eekl Alas! Poor oe and Moe! By Patsy Dolan Wind whistles through the pines: darkness shrouds the town. All ls still except for the weiry whoots of an owl or meeow of an alley cat. Joe and Moe steal slyly along. They cast quick glances around them. Not a soul in sight. Suddenly they grabs it, and thrusts it into an old dilapidated gunny sack. Slowly they turn back and creep fin and out the ghostly shadows ot trees and shrubs, tripping and fall- ing, becoming cut and bruised, but still they go onward, determination and eagerness written on their faces. Nearing the edge of the treach- erous forest they come to a seclud- stop. Moe lunges forward, ed tumble-down shack far from civilization. They enter with satis- faction and sly smiles on their mugs. Depositing the gunny sack in the middle of the bare floor, Moe slips from his pocket a, long, cold knife, opens the sack, and plunges the blade into it. He slashes and digs, cuts and twists. With a final plunge he drags it into the light of a soli- tary candle. A look of horror comes rlnto their eyes. They gaze and gaze, finally breaking into an hysterical ruth- less laugh. Poor Joe and Moe! What have they done? EEK! It's a squash, not a pump- kin. By Hal 0'ween. When a Garden You D0 Make . . . There my garden blooms again, Green and rosy painted All because the Clean-up campaign Got me iuspirated. When at home alone you sit Getting bored and tired of all of it, .lust seize the shovel, rake, and hoe And make a garden. Blues will go. When the lawn is softly green And everywhere fresh beauty can be seen, When the larkspur blue and tall Peeps at roses o'er the wall, When the phlox all white and red Vies with asters in your flower-bed, When the bluebirds flash and sing With red, red robins on the wing, The house and fences, trees and lawn, Then your heart will brim with The garden gate you swing upon, cheer The pump and stable, vines and And your home will prove most swing, dear.

By Doris Ericksen Castles in the air? Oh, yes, they do exist at Taft for the girls in the home management classes, for the real business of the course is to reveal the secrets be- hind the planning of a real home, which tl1e girls learn to maintain with a minimum of work and ex- pense. A playhouse method is used in planning the homes as the build- ing is done on a flat board, fitted with model scale furnishings so that measurements and balances can be noted. Lillian Marek, 4A, is enthusiastic in her praise of the playhouse planning. She claims, I have re- ceived many ideas of how to build my dream house from the small scale furniture in accordance with a double standard-beauty and practicabilityf' Consumer Education Included Migrations to consumer educa- tion, household budgeting, home furnishings, and family relation- ships are likewise made in the course. On a shopping spree would you know which rug to buy? What gage hose is the most practicable? Which sheets are the sturdiest? These are just a few of the ques- tions you will be able to answer after a course in home manage- ment. Lois Sommerfield, 3A, could go for consumer education any day. She avers, Theres nothing more thrilling than being able to judge the quality of the article you are buying and know for sure it's a good buy. In this mass production of ideas emphasis is placed not only on home surroundings with relation to income or wise selection and pre- paration of food, but also on spir- itual and moral strength of the home, family recreation, and indi- divual personality standards. Know Your Cosmetics! According to Lucille Kimpflin, 4A, the Red Cross delegate to the downtown meeting of that organ- ization, the personal appearance projects can't be beat. Why, she exclaims, how can any girl go through life without realizing the benefits she can get from a, course in cosmetics or etiquette! Not to be outdone in the matter of defense, the girls are studying home nursing, which appeals espe- cially to LaVerne Shumacker, 4A. In her opinion, Home nursing is a very useful subject for every girl, for she is bound to use her knowl- edge of temperature readings, bed baths, and simple nursing at some time in her life. Any girl who can fashion a bed table from an orange crate, a 'Pop' Concert Tickets For Sale Popular Saturday evening con- certs by the Chicago Symphony orchestra return to Orchestra hall tomorrow at 8:15 p. m.

Following the playlet, Henry Vandenburg urged all to attend the Homecoming game. via Pantomime A triple trio from the girls' chorus, directed by Mrs. Ruth Lino and accompanied by Evelyn Siev- ers, sang. The girls comprising the group are Barbara and Marilyn Ellis, Marinella DeRoeck, Josephine Gen- dielle, Jeanette Kane, Margaret Konczyk, Grace Nybaken, Evelyn Soellner, and Lillian Wahlquist. The concert orchestra, under the direction of Mr. John Rapier, also performed. The program was arranged by Mr. Malcolm McQuaig, commercial teacher. Photog Breaks All Previous Records Do not smile. Move up closer. Lower your head a little. One of these expressions is prob- ably familiar if you are one of the many Taftites who had their pic- tures taken last week. These photo- graphs are to be used on the cards for the record office, but they may also be purchased for personal use. Taft broke all records for speed when 1975 pictures were taken in 11 periods. This is 11 more than the photographer has ever taken in any one day. All this quick work is due to the help of Bill Leighton, 3A, Annette Avery, 4B, Paul Olsen, 4B, Bill Hedges, 3B, and Janice Youmann, 1A. Olsen said, Most of the girls combed their hair and put on make- up, while the boys either combed their hair or fixed their ties. Ev- eryone co-operated with us: that is why we were able to work so fast. Altogether over 2,100 pictures were taken. cradle from a drawer, a heat lamp from a coffee can, a hot water bot- tle from a bathing cap is bound to make a hit with the man who wants a dream house and a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad.

She Scours Pan To Get Her Man She Scours the Pan to Get Her Man is the title of the modernized version of She Stoops to Conquer, by Oliver Goldsmith, which is being presented by Miss Jane Carleton's first period 3B English class this week. The regular version was first read as a class assignment. The com- mittee in charge of discussion then asked for permission to give the play in its modernized version. The authors are Shirley and Lois Melt- zer. The scene of the play is trans- posed from an English tavern to one of the outlying road houses of Norwood Park. The dialogue is completely translated into the lingo of present-day youth. Those familiar with the play will remember that it was not as the daughter of the house, but as the maid, that Kate made the conquest of her lover-hence, the change in title. Tafts gridders play Lake View tomorrow at 12:30 at Winnemac. Next Saturday they play the final game of the season with Roosevelt at 2 p. m. About 1,750 Taftites attended the Schurz game.

Alternates are Bill Bessemer and Carol Thormahlen At their debut, Taft's quiz kids were not at all baffled by questions on substitutes necessary because of defense. An interesting feature of the pro- gram was four dramatic episodes dealing with democratic ideals. Each school was to identify the main character or point out the er- rors in two of these scenes. The Taft team successfully an- swered its two on the execution of King Charles I of England and on the First Continental Congress. James Downing, president of the Student Council, thanked the spon- sors for giving Taft a chance to ap- pear on the program. The team was presented with a Universal Edition of the World Atlas for the school.

Last year Mrs. Blanche Smith, lunchroom manager, bought 500 pounds of turkey and every bit but one lonely 20-pound bird was de- voured. Although the enrollment at Taft has decreased, Mrs. Smith expects to buy even more turkey for this year's feast. Remember the day - Tuesday, November 18.

Although it rained continually, the spirit of the fun seekers was not daunted. At 7 p. m. about 150 people, who heretofore had been ill at ease on a dance floor, started on their way to social success by taking advantage of the instruction offered by Miss LaRayne Rhode. Social dancing began at 8:30. The orchestra of five musicians, directed by Al Marney, played ev- erything, from the Skaters' waltz to swing selections. A The comedians of the evening were Howard Behm, who, with his made-up face, broomstick skirt, blouse, wig, silk stockings, and orange shoes, had a dee-lightful time dancing with his partner, George Hopper, who was decked out in bow-tie, white shirt, and tails At 9:30 slides were flashed on the wall. The first was a song, thanking the sponsors for the cen- terg the second, a. welcome to the boys in uniformg and the third, the currently popular Shine on, Har- vest Moon.

November 14, 1941 Keep Freedom Thru Education: Doctor folznson By Dr. Wm. H. Johnson The entire country is observing a. program of education this month. The theme of the program is Edu- cation for a Strong America. That is a subject which is famil- iar to all of us. Ill all our lessons we have learned to appreciate the freedom that is ours: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free- dom of education. We can be proud of our heritage -freedoni. It has inspired faith in the hearts ol' the American people and it has striven to educate all of its citizens. That is a part of the American plan-education for all. The students in our schools today represent America's plan of educa- tion: physical fitness, democracy, coinmunity welfare. A nation is as strong as its indi- viduals. Cherish the ideals of America and yon will help to strengthen its morale day by day.

From ace reporter on the Tojt Trilzulzc. she has risen to the editor- ship of the Edison l'urlrcr, the Nur- irood Part.: Citizen, and the Spec- tator. She obtained the position in- directly through Mrs. Mary Far- rell, vocational counselor. Harriet does everything on these papers from digging up facts to leading final proofs. She writes and types all the stories, composes the headlines, plans the make-up, and does all the proof-reading. She finds the proof-reading the most enjoyable of all her duties because of the odd typographical errors that often appear. One ex- ample she cites is the line that read the bride was dressed in a long, white veil. Harriet intends to work until next fall, when she will enroll at the Conservatory of Music at Ober- lin, Ohio. Her main ambition is some day to open a music school of her own.

Hurr I I-Iurry! Hurry! Hurry! Only a few days remain for you to contribute to the Thanksgiving collection for the Children's Aid fund. Remember-the money from this fund is used exclusively for helping needy school children to obtain clothing-coats, suits, dresses, under- clothlng, hosiery, and shoes. Your support will afford many students the opportunity of staying in school. At least 20 Taftites benefited from this fund last year by making application in the office. Even in this land of plenty there are many needy individuals, and though government spending in the defense program has brought pros- perity to many friends, a reversal may have been felt in so-called non- essential industries. And remember-your little bit has a great part in the big total. Whistlers Not Appreciated Exactly how do you whistle? I once asked my small brother. Oh, said he, like this, and he pursed his lips and sent forth a tune that went rocketing along up the scale to high something-or-other and then came sliding down again. Nothing daunted, I imitated him as far as puckering up my mouth, but somehow I lost the path. at that point, and my only reward was a disconsolate rush of air. I tried again. Results? Depressing, I never have succeeded in whistling, and feel that life will never be complete until I learn to do so. Whistling is undoubtedly an accomplish- ment. As has just been proved, not every one can whistle. So, if you are numbered among those fortunate souls who can, why cheapen your ability by exhibiting it everywhere? Helen Jepson and Martinelli don't perform unless specifically asked 'tog so why should you? Besides, William Howard Taft high school is definitely not the setting for an amateur hour. Thaleia Cheronis, 3B. Oh, That After Feelin .7 I'm sending you this little poem on how to keep a happy home After Thanksgiving.

Taste in Comics Varies: R eporter By Mary Elaine Gill Do you wait frantically from day to day to see what will happen to your favorite comic pals as they mangle their way through life? If you do, you have something in com- mon with the funny-followers be- low, who tell us who their favorite comic strip characters are and why. Dorothy Bock, 2A, enjoys Bren- da Starr not only for the story itself, but for the exquisite gowns Brenda wears. Jackie Shay, 1A, and Miss Mabel Berquist, English teacher, agree upon Skeezix as their fa- vorite because he's so true to life and typical of the modern youth of today. Did We Say Young? The young love angle between grandpa and Cleopatra in Abbie 'n' Slate interests Jean Ander- son, 2B. Dagwood's super deluxe sand- wiches in Blondie appeal to Marion Gercken, 3B, as she delights in the creations he whips up at a moment's notice. Being active himself, Florian Mack, 1B, admires Dick Tracy and his ingenuity in solving crimes. June Ringquist, 3A, chooses Ter- ry and the Pirates, as she likes the strange adventures Terry and Pat are always getting into, while Ru- dolph Kuper, 1A, likes the way Milton Caniff etches the characters, especially Burma. Duck Gets Boiled! Donald Duck appeals to Hank Juergensen, 2A, as Donald, like himself, always manages to get into hot water. James Concannon, 3B, states that L'il Abner is his favorite comic strip. Bill Lingenfelder, 3A, like s Smiling Jack. He doesn't know why, but he just likes it. But, of course, the little deicers have noth- ing to do with it! Eagle Squawks U. S. A. Calling Most other high schools have radio clubs, interested members, and a radio broadcasting station. We have many students inter- ested in radio and four boys li- censed to operate a radio station. Mr. Vestal, physics instructor, has consented to act as sponsor if enough students indicate their de sire for a radio club. What do you say, students of Taft? After all, it is up to you whether Taft has a radio club or not, for a radio club cannot be limited to a small group of select students. Burton Green, 3B.

He is now wear- ing ties which should keep his throat warm as well as provide good business for eye doctors. Petty Art? Howie Vore, 2B, entertained Miss Helen Unseth's seventh period art class the other day by giving him- self and the surrounding walls and floor an unexpected shower. Well, gee whiz, how's a fellow supposed to know that the water comes out with such force? he de- fends himself. Jack Kapfhamer, 2A, also of Miss Unseth's class, will certainly make some girl a nice wife. To break the monotony he goes around scrub- bing desks, and from latest reports he certainly wields a mean dust rag. When walking into his first per- iod medieval history class recently, Mr. Kenneth Osbon remarked that he had just found a 75-millimeter shell containing enough dynamite for hundreds of boys.

Girl of the Month The credit for the success of the Honor Society's hobby show last semester belongs wholly to Henri- etta Kritickson, Prin. L. A. Hoefer's choice for November's girl of the month. Henrietta, or Hank as she is known to her friends, was put in complete charge of the affair by Miss Martha Hinkel, club sponsor. Hank is also a member of the stu- dent council, G. A. A., was the sec- retary of the Senior Girls' last June, and was a candidate for the secretaryship of the senior class. Her hobbies are shooting, horse- back riding, and archery. Her pet peeves are coke dates, noisy radios, and making-up in public. Her one idiosyncracy is slurping spaghetti. She likes beautiful white teeth, good dressers, dinner dates, and boogie-wooglef' Saturdays Henrietta. steps into the role of salesgirl at a neighbor- hood bakery. After graduation Henrietta is going to Moser Business College, Henrietta Kritickson and after that her main ambition is to get married. The Tribune Presents M zss Nelson Miss Nelson Gladly welcomed as a new mem- ber to the faculty is Miss Maude Nelson, history teacher, who has come to Taft from Tuley. Miss Nelson, a native Chicagoan, received her high school diploma at Carl Schurz and later attended the University of Illinois, earning an A.B. degree. History, in which Miss Nelson majored from high school days on, is still her favorite subject, though collecting pictorial maps and hik- ing are among her hobbies. The newness of the building, the co-operation of the students, and the friendliness of everyone at- tracted Miss Nelson when she came to Taft. Miss Nelson attended the Uni- versity of California on her sab- batical Ieave last year, and before returning to Chicago, she toured the west and Canada. An ambition was realized when she took a camp- ing trip through Death Valley. Miss Nelson's pet peeve is work coming in late. Poet Pays Tribute to Gridders By Norb Paulish Our football team should be praised, For our standings they have up- raised. They won some games, and lost some, too, But, after all, even the best teams do. They showed their power and gal- lant fight By going into the game with all their might. Never minding the odds or the size of the men, They just went in there deter- mined to win, To bring victory to Taft and to Who was their leader against their foe. He was their idol: for him they fought: Such devoted loyalty could not be bought. By this little poem I'm trying to show That the team gave all for Taft and for Joe. Page 38 Taft Tribune Know T e rut Study Of Careers Unveils Vocational Aptitudes, Talents 1 By Doris Ericksen Do you want to be the happiest person in the world 10 years after .you leave Taft? Then you must find your place in the occupational world, for the individual must be contented in his work if he is to achieve happiness. The successful person has found the niche in the working world that suits his abilities, interests, and personality. For some sure fire assistance in studying yourself and the occu- pational world, join the careers class. ' Writing your autobiography pro- 'vides the first step in the process of discovering the real you. Stan- dardized tests give you a more sci- entific measure of your abilities and achievements. Occupations Analyzed An analysis of the occupation you are looking forward to will ac- quaint you with the qualifications and duties of the job and give you information about the conditions in that field. you take a good look at analyzing your abilities, valuable wtrking When yourself, and compare them with the require- ments for the job, you can decide whether you will be interested in pursuing such a career. If that career requires college preparation and you are financial- ly able to plan for the work, the careers course will help you to choose the college or university best suited to your individual needs. ln order to familiarize the stu- dent with the layout of a large edu- cational plant, each semester the careers class makes a tour of one of the universities in the Chicago area. Advice on Business Schools Also, states Miss Agnes Kiley, now teaching the careers course, this class helps in the selection of business colleges and trade schools those students interested in this type of post-graduate training. Additional information is gained through movies and speakers from business firms and vocational schools. Careers Da.y, held once a semes- ter, gathers together authorities from many occupations who speak to groups of senior students. The test records from the careers classes are a valuable aid to Mrs. Mary Farrell, the vocational coun- selor, in helping 4A students in their job selections. The fact that Taft has a larger percentage of students in careers than most of the Chicago high schools proves that the students have discovered the value of the course. h hi Whom Do You Consider the Worst Pest ' In the Lunchroom Write your answer plainly on .one side of the paper in not more than 250 words.

James's essay, The Corridor Pests, follows: In my opinion, the person who is the greatest pest in the school corridors is the one who insists upon ignoring all the rules of courtesy and common sense by ob- structing traffic when he is in no hurry and knocking others down in his haste when he is late for class. To him I have dedicated the following poem, entitled Ode to a Jaywalkerf' O Jaywalker, Jaywalker, corridor pest, Whom students and teachers alike most detestg Down left side of corridor, up down-only stairs, Truly, dear Jaywalker, you get in our hairs. Ambling through corridors, many abreast. Rushing to classes, to heck with the rest Who must dodge you or get blood- ily messed, Yes, truly, dear Jaywalker, we hate you the best.

Yes, we are pushed and shoved all over the halls and our respiration is greatly aided by frequent jabs in the lungs. The person who is guilty of such behavior may aptly be called the Wrong-Way Runner. Surely you have not been so fortunate as to escape the terrible, driving onslaught of one of these creatures. He is always at top speed, and we do not restrict the classification to the mas- culine gender only! Some of these delicate appearing females pack plenty of push! Of course, we know that you're always looking exactly where you are going. You never stop right smack in the middle of the hall and block traffic or, what is worse, crane your neck to see who Janey has walking her to classes now, trusting yourself to the guidance of the gods of Greece and Rome and your own unerring instinct! In case you have never found yourself in such a position, we advise it as the quickest and surest way of catching a dirty look and perhaps an encore from that teacher you met suddenly and unexpectedly! There are still some more points to discuss, and they are the points on metal edged rulers, pencils, compasses, sharp-cornered books, and, yes -those jagged charmf?J bracelets the girls sport! Oh, yes, they are cute, but not when they catch the threads of your newest, longest sweater. Through some unexplainable twist of traffic rules, the Wrong-Way Runner is never found on the right side of the hall. Perhaps he is one of the stalwarts who believe in swimming against the stream and not in going the easy way. But won't you listen to our pleas? Observe the custom of keeping to the right. Don't rush. By the time you have crashed into a dozen people and extracted protruding objects from others' clothes, you could have made it in half the time. And that isn't all-did you know that an even, stately gait is much more attractive than headlong rushing? Just ask Janeg there she goes walking down the hall with Johnny Touch- down Drake! Jean Larson, 4A. Pzlgsldns to Get Bi K icle Now that the football season is over and several boys have donned the silver and blue for the last time, we of the grandstand want to give our comment. Thanks, fellows, you of the team who have carried on where we couldn't go. Thanks for playing our game and winning our battles. You have had to take the burden of the school and you have lived up to your responsibility. We couldn't do much in the grandstand, but the spirit of the school urging you on must have helped some. V . It has been proven by the Fenger-Senn game that a stand full of never-say-die rooters can spur a beaten team on to victory. When it looked as if Fenger were through and Senn had won, the Fenger stands kept cheering. This spirit was a direct cause of the rally and final victory. Taft's spirit is second to none. Therefore victory should be the pass- word in the future. The day of moral victory is passed. Those who have played their last game in high school have started Taft's teams on the right road. They will not be let down. Upset Amundsen in '41, Biggest threat in the north division in '42, Division title holder by '43. All city champs for the '44 season.

By Pat Peterson What is your favorite song and why? asks the inquiring reporter this week. Have you ever wondered why one song seems to make your spinal column to the rhumba jump while another melody leaves you as chilly as the assembly hall on Monday morning? If you don't know which song would be the more appealing one, come to the social center Friday night and enjoy yourself while the beat of a certain song makes it the one. Whenever Elmer's Tune is played, Howard Behm, 4A, can sa.- tisfy the jiving of his vocal chords humming. 4A, finds the melody after a Why Don't We only by softly 1?J Shirley Larson, most appropriate successful date is Do This More Often. Lois Miller, 3A, would like the Band to Play On while she is dancing. Kiss the Boys Goodby with slight variations would keep 3B Jimmy Bryant happy. Another 3B, Beverly Borg, who should like the song, Say It with Flowers, thinks that Blue Cham- December 2, 1941 Priority Can 't Tax Ingenuity cf Ferns By Lois Johnson Bongo, the cannibal, is enough to make even a brave man shake, but when you know what he's made of you'11 have to admit he's pretty corky. The most popular lapel gad- get at Taft of the season consists of cork, yarn, notebook reinforce- ments, and hardware. Another Startler is the googoo eyed beanie. To make yourself look two-faced, sew a pair of goo-goo eyes and an enormous real felt grin with a mouthful of buck teeth on the back of a beanie. Are you com- ing or going? is the current ques tion. From Purse to Necklace Your old beaded purse is useful. For proof, look at Lorraine Rozan- ski's 240-inch string of wooden beads, which will without difficul- ty encompass a lunchroom table. Doubled, this lengthy strand is a t'jewel for those mannish, unat- tractive V-neck sweaters. Peggy Reller, 4A, is Taft's ex- pert on revolutionary sweaters, having knitted six in the record time of 12 weeks. Even the hair bows are V-lctor- ized now. Two pieces of stiff gros- grain ribbon sewn in the shape of a V are in the in of hair fashions. Daisy Mae, the originator of all pigtails, advises you to push a thin piece of wire through each pigtall for a braid bonanza. What Next? Another little bit of ornamenta- tion can be made by strlnging small strawberry pincushlons on a yarn chain for a necklace. Don't rack your brain too hard for some adorning knicknack since rick- rack gathered on a thread and shir- red tightly will serve the purpose nicely. Button your lips, can really be done by appltqueing red felt lips over the button hole of your cardi- gan. Not just because they're good for you, like spinach, but because they're smart, a. considerable num- ber of long stockings in glowing sport colors have been seen walk- ing through the corridors of Taft. If there's any yarn left when you've finished kniltting your sweater, use it for the fringe on that super long babushka, currently modeled by Merle Maack, 4A. pagne is a coke date gone sophis- ticated. Louis Michels, 2B, proves that he is not an arson bug as his theme song is I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire. Gene Krupafs performance, ol Blue Fantasy is John Pokor- ney's t1Al favorite. Pauline Bellandi of the freshman class looks at the senior who is trying to scare her and calmly questions, Who Is Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? December 2, 1941 Ta ftite Goes Social With Movie Stars Jean Wayne, 3A, one night last veek dined with Ilona Massey and tlan Curtis. After dinner the par- ,y went to the Blackhawk where lean got the autographs of the Smoothies. She also danced with Del Courtney during the course of ,he evening. Some evening! Brighties George Fischer, the guiding light if Mr. Arthur Mooney's chemistry zlass, turned on the gas jet and said, Why doesn't the water come nut? I Mr. Addison Purcell's intelli- gent first period chemistry class was discussing the benefits of wa- ter to the body. When Violet Fara, RA, was asked why she drank wa- ter, she replied, Because I'm thirstry! Embarrassing Moments When Lorraine Rozanskl, 4A, waiting to be measured for cap and gown, sat down very hard on the little chair that wasn't there. When the prom committee in- quired about prices at the Stevens hotel. The price for the room was given and Eldridge tDaisyJ Adams said, We'll have to take some money out of the Thanksgiving collection, -and quietly tainted. The visitor tnat came into Miss Clara Larsen's fourth period alge- bra class yesterday was Pudgie, a doggone smart canine that be- longs to Evelyn Jerzyk, 4A. After taking one look at the equations on the board, Pudgie decided that what happens to' him shouldn't happen to a dog and was escorted by Perry Mebean back to the dog- house. Was Wayne Klebe's face red when he had to go out into the court and get the gum he fired out the open window. In addition he was obliged to pick up any papers that were lying around outside. He might be called Taft's one-man clean-up campaign! The Eagle Squawks Boys wearing sweaters are not admitted to the social center dan- ces Friday evenings. The male spe- cies doesn't mind complying with this regulation, for they wouldn't think of appearing improperly at- tired. However, the Don Juans think lt's about time to regulate the dress of girls who don't know any better than to wear sloppy, knee-length joes. There is a time and place for everything, and for evening danc- ing those sweaters are nothing short of ridiculous.

Weichman Our dining room table Ought to know a great deal, With sister, brothers, and me Doing Latin and geometry On its smooth surface That reflects the ceiling. It never complains, Although we scratch its face And give it unexpected doses Of black and bitter ink. If our round table could think, How much it could learn As algebra, Spanish, art, Fractions, and history vie For attention, and we try To write grammar lessons neat And book reports so wise That they will prove a treat. If our table had a voice. It would laugh As we puzzle over science And vitamin BI, Mixing learning deep With spurts of joyous fun. If our table had a brain, It would even learn the refrain Of our school songs And church hymns too. It might solve the jig-saws Often puzzled o'er by Mom In leisure hours Till Dad comes along To demonstrate his solving powers. If our table had hands And could work, George Crist, president of the 4A class, who appeared on the Young America Answers program last Saturday over WBBM at 3 p. m., is Principal L. A. Hoefer's choice for December's Boy of the Month. He and his fellow officers are full of ideas and plans to make the Feb- ruary graduation unique. George's other activities at Taft include membership in the Senior Boys' club and in the executive committee of the Student Council. Outside of school George displays his histrionic talents in the Park District Drama club and in the Norwood Luther league of which he is president. After graduating from hign school, George hopes to go to Car- thage college in order to prepare to enter the ministry. George likes bowling, barn danc- ing, math, blondes, and chili fgood and hot! 7. Upon racking his brain for a pet peeve, Mr. Crist finally decided that people who talk in church are ex- tremely annoying. Trickery in the lunchroom bothers him, too, espe- cially the horse-play of people who get fountain effects out of pop bottles. I like to get my nutrition in peace, he explained. At the present time George is concerned over two problems-how to straighten his curly locks and George Crist whom to ask to the senior prom. According to George, he has a dual personality, one of which he reserves for special occasions. In order to glimpse them both at work, attend the next Luther League plzly, in which he is cast as both the hero and the villain. When asked to what he attributes his success, he replied, My beard. The T ribuue Presents Mrs. Ocleerby Mrs. Beulah Ockerby, new addi- tion to Taft's household arts de- partment, was born and raised in Hardin, Missouri. There she re- ceived her early education, coming to Chicago while still in grammar school. She attended Calumet high school in the city. After receiving her bachelor's degree from Illinois Institute of Technology, Mrs. Ockerby began her teaching at a south side ele- mentary school. She then was transferred to Lane, where for six years she acted as teacher-manager of the school lunchroom. Before coming to Taft. she was a faculty member of Feng- er and Manley high schools. Ever pursuing knowledge, Mrs Ockerby is now studying at North- western university. Teaching must run in the family, for her husband is assistant principal of Roosevelt high. The surrounding neighborhood of Taft appeals to Mrs. Ockerby, for she is now a resident of Norwood park. Free of pet peeves, she ad- mires a dependable student. I believe it would not shirk To take the patterns and the pins That often do adorn it And fashion for busy Mom That costume or that dress For husky Tom or tiny Bess. If our table could speak, I'm sure it would say That things that take grit Are enjoyed and completed Each day around it. I know this is true Because, when we are through, Our table seems' to smile As we ornament it With a flower. Page 46 Taft Tribune December 2, 1q S peaking, Dram a.9 T 0 Promote Pozke The dramatics class doesn't guar- antee to tur11 out Sarah Bernharuts, but it does give a student the op- portunity of expressing himself as he likes to through acting. According to Mrs. Vera McCon- ville, dramatics teacher, The op- portunity to act in plays is simply pure joy to all my players. The ease of manner the would-be Ro- meos show is not assumed but ab- sorhedf' Robert Taylor has nothing on the students in the dramatics classes. They don't recite Hamlet, but their acting could be rated as classy. In listening to a radio program they are aware of any slurred dic- tion and look for mistakes. They are alert for good speakers and ap- preciate their efforts toward per- fect speech. Poise and Personality Plus Public speaking is a course which improves extemporeneous speaking and eliminates speech memoriza- tion. Even the pupil's posture is im- proved. Walking and standing car- riage with an ease of manner that speaks well for that person is de- veloped. The student develops poise and becomes sure of himself. His self-consciousness disappears, and even his appearance is im- proved. During a session of extemporan- eous talks, which are emphasized, the class may criticise every speech. This impersonal criticism not only helps others to look for mistakes, but also allows the speaker to real- ize his faults and correct them. Stage Fright Flees Here one also has a means for self-expression in discussions and impromptu talks. Dramatics students, even after a short time, are better people to live with. Strict direction, steady coaching, and constant repetition break down an antagonistic attitude towards taking commands. One of the great arts is dram- atics, and in Mrs. McConville's opinion, t'lt's one of the most worthy of the spoken arts. Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Of What You Will, current attraction at the De Paul Little Theatre, 14 East Lake street, will be performed especially tor Tait students the eve- ning ol December 19.

Mc Cuaig's Ford! This car, one of the first V- eights Henry ever made, has been a constant companion of Mr. Mc Cuaig for the last decade. Saturday night when Limo, as Mr. Mc Cuaig so affectionately nicknamed his limousine, was let out for his daily airing, he joyfully headed for the nearby park. That was the last time he was sren by a mortal being. It's the sentimental value of the car that makes its loss strike the weak spot of my heart, says Mr. Mc Cuaig as a mist clouds his eyes. He reminisced, How well I re- member Limo's adolecense! Can I forget his first set of tires, the way he would gurgle when I flushed his oil, and his touching method of crying when someone dented his fender. Ah, his endearing little charms made everybody like him. Why should anybody want to harm that innocent car. Mr. Mc Cuaig's temper rose sharply when it was hinted that Cleopatra rode in his auto when she went to meet Mark Anthony. If the old car is never found, Limo, an heirloom, which has come to be part of the campus, will be missed by everyone. As Richard Andre, 1B, so ele- gantly put it, Taft won't be the same without Mr. Mc Cuaig's blitz on wheels.

Taft Tribune Taft Tribulation umber Two Tirecl of Your Face? fain Art Class and Get a New One Are you tired of your face? Miss Helen Unseth's eighth pe- riod art class will be glad to fur- nish you with a mask. The stu- dents are 1na.king funny faces of newspaper scraps, water, and glue. The paper is soaked and formed. The features are then shaped and fastened with strips of sticky pa- per. When the paper has dried, the mask is painted. Result? A hor- rific but artistic visage! The masks may be a little late for Halloween, but the bracelets made of kindergarten beads and the bowls that may be used as ash trays are just in time for nifty Christmas presents. The bowls are made by greasing any size dish or pan and covering it with wet strips of paper. They are then baked in an oven for two and one-half hours at 220 degrees. The form is removed, leaving a perfectly shaped bowl which is fireproof. After it has been paint- ed and a design applied, the result is extremely attractive. Council Members At Convention Representing Taft at the annual convention of the Student Council association of Illinois held Novem- ber 15 at Deerfield Shields high school in Highland Park were James Downing, president of the Taft unit, and Donald Johnson, 4B member. Dr. L. 0. Garber, professor of Lake Forest college and founder of the Student Council Ass'n of Illi- nois, emphasized the ideals and goals for which the Student Council should stand. Doctor Garber stressed the fact that every council should play a vital part in the activities of every school: The council sl1ould not merely be taken for granted: the lowliest freshman and the proudest senior should realize that the council is an important part of curricular activity. After a day of talks, round table discussions, and a banquet of fried chicken, the newly elected pres- ident for the coming year brought the meeting to a close.

She Knows Oh, yes, she is girl. She knows Everybody a very friendly everybody. She can tell you his faults and dislikes, what his family life is like, why she goes with him, and what this fellow told this girl about that fel- low's great grandmother. This is about the way her assembly starts out. She is usually among the first in the auditorium and finds a seat right in the center of the center aisle. On reaching her seat, she kneels on it, facing the door, and persists in waving and shouting to every friend that comes in the en- trance. After she has herself well estab- lished with about six friends, she turns around to the proper position and begins to gossip. About half way through the Star Spangled Banner she realizes what is going on and stands up. Then seeing everybody is about to sit down, she flops into her seat starting the conversation all over again. Too Much Gossip! Now I wouldn't care so much, mind you, if I could understand one or the other, but all I can hear is a word here and there from the gossipers. The assembly is over, the bel? rings, and the students make a rush for the door, but not our girl friend. No. sir, she stays in her seat until the last student has left the auditorium. Then she makes a dash for the door and comes puffing into her class room late, telling the teacher about the crowd at the assembly and how hard it was getting through.

WelL H6f6iS'HOW By Audrey Dietz Every year from high schools over the entire city thousands of young men and women graduate and immerliat ly end their educa- Taft Tribune Good to the Last Cheerl Rahl Working Hours Short tion as far as attending schools is courcr1'ccl. These people 'possess the quali- fications tcapacity, ambition, prep- aration, and rharacterj for a suc- c.ssl'ul college career, but lack adequate 1'i.1anciul resources. Today, all over the nation, a dif- ferent type cf college is becoming increasingly popular--the self-help collzgc, which cperates with the idca that anyone who is really anxious for higher education will be willing to work for it-that is, to perform manual labor in order to lrwer tuition and board costs. Two and one-half hours daily of manual work is the average re- quirement. Such a plan enriches the educational experience of tl1e student because it approaches so closely the type of social life and responsibility he or she will as- sume upon graduation. The work is never burdensome, and because it is done by all, elim- inates any stigma attached to working one's way through. Students learn to do many things valuable to them in later life, both in their professional work and in their family responsibilities. At Blackburn in southern Illinois the young women cook, serve meals, and do laundry, office, and library work. Boys at this school, where an agricultural course is stressed, do general farming and dairying, take care of the campus, serve as jani- tors, fire furnaces, and do building construction and office work Students Enjoy Work Working together, the students have good times and really enjoy what would otherwise be hard work. Manual labor is graded, and failure to do satisfactory work is considered sufficient reason for dismissal from the self-help plan. Other colleges offering similar plans are Berea college, Berea, Kentucky, and Northland college, Ashland, Wisconsin. Catalogues are sent on request. The next issue of the Trib will feature the co-operative plan at Il- linois Institute of Technology, the University of Chicago, and North- Western university. College with all its opportunities may be open to you. Taft basketeers will open their season here with a practice game against Foreman Thursday at 3 p. m. Tickets are 15 cents.

Senn Bulldogs Dog Paddle to Victory' With Narrow Margin Because of the through graduation city of juniors, Taft swimmers lost the season to loss of men and the scar- their first meet of Senn, November 18-the seniors 31 to 30 and the juniors 35 to 18. The junior team was paced by Carl Reed, the only junior to take a. first, In the 40-yard breast- stroke, Paul Peterson and Kalvin Kasch took third and fourth re- spectively. The 40-yard free style event included Carl Reed, second, and Dick Kase, third, while in the 40-yard backstroke, Bob Walden placed third. In the century dash Carl Reed lead all the Way to Victory. Al- though George Zima was present, there was no competitive diving. In the medly relay Walden, Peter- son, and Kasch took second, and in the relay, Kasch, Bergsund, Ek- dahl, and Michels came in second. The seniors lost by one point.

The queen of the lunchroom takes her station behind the cash register each period and views the passing patrons. If she can find anyone who has exercised enough brain power to select a balanced meal, she pays his check. When asked what she considered a balanced lunch, Mrs. Smith stated, I try to discourage a lunch that contains a bottle of pop, two dishes of French fries, and a bag of potato chips. I consider an ex- ample of an ideal lunch to consist of soup, milk, and sandwiches. There is no price limit on these gift meals. Those who have been treated by the practical dietician are: Fred Bohlman, Erla Hansen, Robert Hayser, Helen Mudloff, John Schaeffer, Arthur Strass, 1B'sg Hel- en Schmitt, 2Bg Walter Keller, 3Bg and Harry Goeppinger and Lor- raine Jachin, 4B's.

Taft Tribune l A Recipe for Christmas Cheer Dear Students: All of you are familiar with the words: Deck the halls with boughs of holly Tra lla la la la la la la ta, 'Tis the season to be jolly, Tra la la la la la la la la. We cannot help but be jolly during the Christmas season. Store windows display their wares. Shoppers, though pushed and jostled at every turn, smile with the secret happiness that giving brings. Every- one is on tiptoe with the delight of anticipation of a great moment. Gaiety, happiness, joyfulness-these are the gifts that bring warmth to the poor in spirit, cheer to the lonely, comfort to the needy. Give freely of these gifts and when Christmas Day arrives, you will find your heart bulging with good cheer. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM H. JOHNSON, Superintendent of Schools. Dr. Bell Notes Tait Progress During his inspection tour of the shops, the home ecenomic depart- ment, and the art classes last Tues- day, Dr. John Bell, district super- intendent, was much impressed by the usefulness of the work done in all the classrooms. Doctor Bell also visited the li- brary where he was pleased by the amount of work done with refe- rence books. He commented on the wellstacked shelves including many books, encyclopedias, magazines, and pamphlets. When asked to comment on oth- er improvements that have taken place since Taft's first Christmas, he noted the amount of space now devoted to the adjustment serviceg there are now two rooms where students may confer with their teachers, year advisers, and coun- sellors. Doctor Bell also noted an in- creased interest in school activi- ties. The outstanding work done on the radio program speaks well of the type of student attending Taft, he stated. Expressing a wish for their con- tinued success, Doctor Bell com- plimented the football team on their fine organization in so short a period of time. Pederson to Recover Richard Pederson, 3B, has passed the crisis safely and is on the road to recovery, it was announced Fri- day by Dick Doebbler and Ben Granat to Richard's division, 113 a. m. Richard was accidentally shot while returning from a hunting trip two weeks ago and has been in the Swedish Covenant hospital since that time. Seniors Illustrate Prom Etiquette By Skit Technique Juniors! Would you like to know how to ask your escort to the prom next semester, or is there some other question lurking in your mind about the proper etta kett '! If so, why don't you see some 4B or 4A who attended the prom com- mittee meeting during the length- ened division last Thursday? I-Ie'd know. The prom committee tried to en- seniors by putting on demonstrated the cor- lighten the skits which rect answer to their problems.

Betty Klimek Wins Praise Compliments were showered on the two geometry notebooks which Betty Klimek, 4A, of Miss Mary Ryan's geometry class, exhibited at the Convention of the Central Association of Science and Mathe- matics Teachers at the Stevens hotel November 21 and 22. Miss Ryan declared, The books were simply daily class work done in an extraordinary and beautiful way. Betty received thanks for parti- cipating in the display from Mr. Wm. A. Richards of Morton high school, Cicero, Illinois, who was in charge of the exhibit. Teachers from all the Central States attend- ed this convention.

Well, read'em and weep because what's coming will prove that, contrary to public opin- ion, boys have brains and actually use them. Miss Martha Hlnkel, Honor So- ciety sponsor, reports a society membership of 280, as compared with last year's 219. The increase in boys especially pleases Miss Hin- kel and the Society officers. Edward Steeve Heads 4A's Of the 67 boys, the 4A group, which has,as its goal a total of 126 points, claims six, led by Ed- ward Steeve with 160 points. Second in number of points is Robert Stone, who has 1533 third, Stephan Kruty with 152. The rest, according to points, are Jack Win- ton, last semester's Honor Society president, William Stephan, noted for his baseball skill, and Howard Behm. Boys who have reached their 4B year have to shoot for a total of 108 points. High honors here belong to Jack Zetterberg of the baseball team. Robert Vanderpoel and John Magnus are second and third re- spectively, followed by Robert Johnson of the swimming team and Warren Berg. All the brains must have accumu- lated in one spot, for the 3A's have aight more than either 4B's or 4A's. Art Koda, Norman Flasch, and Robert Smith, present president of the Honor Society, are the three leaders among the juniors. Athletic But Brainy The swimming team has another member in Paul Pedersen, while Howard Jacob, Robert Bianchi, a nember of the basketball team, and Fed Bejewski finish off the 3A's. Below the 3A semester, the man- ner of counting points differs. For tA and above, the points are count- ed as a total up to the semester in which the student is registered. Prom 3B down to 1A they are counted per semester. The student must have 18 points a semester to make the grade. Mrs. Irma Dahlqulst's division las the highest number of boys in he 3B group with James Cancan- ion the star. Closely following him ire Ivan Danko, John Granath, Donald Frizen, and Howard Nel- on. Running a very close second is fr. Max Weinstein's room with our: James Tatton, Lawrence Go- ,a, Felix Matarresse, and Hillard Eulik. In Mr. Anthony Favaro's divi- lon are Frank Falkenthal, member f the dance band, George Fischer, nd Henry Anderssohn. To Miss Helen Unseth's division Dear Friends: Another year has passed, and Taft is again enjoying a Christmas season. Possibly nog time of the year fosters such a unity of spirit among people as that of Christmas-when the thought of joyful giving and doing for others is paramount. We, Americans, enjoy blessings that today are unknown to the suf- fering peoples of Europe-human beings quite like Ourselves- We might well pause for careful reflection. Are we any more deserving? Are ice more considerate of others? Are we less selfish? Are we kinder to our fellow-men without thought of gain? Let us all as members of Taft take a Christmas inventory of ourselves, and make this the truest, the cheer- iest, and the merriest of Christmases. Therefore, permit me to begin by wishing you and your families a most Merry Christmas and a most Happy New Year. In the words of Tiny Tim: And God bless us, everyone. Sincerely, LEO A. HOEFER, Principal, Taft high school. Senior Girls' Club Plays Santa Claus To Needy Families As Christmas time rolls around, the Senior Girls' club again puts on a Santa Claus costume and per- forms another good deed. This year the club has decided to prepare four Christmas baskets to be given to needy families in the vicinity of Taft. Joan Shaw, chairman, is busy preparing lists to be distributed to 4B and 4A divisions. Every mem- ber is expected to bring something for the baskets before the school holidays, and the food materials will be stored until a few days be- fore the Christmas holidays when they will be given to the unknown families. In order to collect jellies and preserves for the baskets, drives have been started in some divi- sions. Boys as well as girls are asked to co-operate in this enter- prise. belongs the honor of having the 3B boy with the greatest number of points-Curtis Johnson.

James Forney, Judd Pope, and James Petrie are the male mein- bers of Miss Dorothy Allen's divi- sion who belong to the Honor So-- ciety. Mrs. Ida Goldfein's prides and joys are only two: Richard Nellson and Jack Walter. William Slagle, whose services have been invaluable in all the- shows put on by the Honor Society, is the last man on the 3B list. He hails from Miss Mary Keech's divi- sion. Players Promote Lively Comedy Play time is almost here again as the Proscenium Players busily prepare another production under the direction of Mrs. Vera McCon- ville which they will present Janu- ary 15. The play, a one-act comedy called Five for Bad Luck, involves a small town girl, Effie Trask, and her unusual experiences at a large college. Pat Peterson and Lois Miller play the part of Effie Traskg William Lessman and Henry Vandenberg, the role of Bert Stovel, the idol of the campus, of whom Effie takes very good care. Other members of the cast in- clude Doris Zonsius, Wilma Dubs, Annette Avery, and Harriet Grund, classmates of Effie, and Robert Behr, Richard Lewis, Norman Es- serman, and George Hanke, boy friends. Entering Frosh Prefer Figures Come February, Taft will lay out the welcome mat for the 165 new stndes arriving here as freshmen. Although they represent 10 dif- ferent elementary schools, the greatest percent of these incoming frosh hail from Ebinger, Hitch, Onahan, Norwood Park, and Gar- vey. Algebra seems to be the favorite elective, claiming 79 of the 107 pu- pils chosing math. Closely follow- ing as the pet subjects of the new- comers are Spanish, elementary business training, industrial arts, home arts, and Latin. Keeping up the Taft tradition of more boys than girls, the fairer sex .again predominates, outnumbering the boys 86 to 79. 51 All Things Considered Taft to Lose Taftites Time marches on, and with the new year come the January gradu- ation exercises. They will be held in the Taft auditorium Thursday evening, January 29. Guest speaker for the evening will be Colonel Clarence Lineberger, district super- intendent of the elementary schools.

The Appreciation of Music and Drama in the Community was the topic of the P.T.A.'s meeting yes- terday in the auditorium. Several selections by the orchestra, Christ- mas carols by the mixed chorus, anal IJickens's Christmas Carol provided an afternoon of entertain- ment. Mr. Osbon Comments One phase ol' Careers day, noted by Eagle-eye Osbon, was the fact that many of the girls carried dolls. I wonder if this has any bear- ing on their careers, queried Mr. Osbon.

Letter awards for the '41 season were also announced.

However, it is very disgusting to for a drink of refreshing water and placed there by several students who which we acqui1'e in early life. enjoy chewing gum, and I indulge me to stop at a drinking fountain see before me a few wads of gum use this method to display their ill manners and lack of consideration for their fellow students. No one has to teach you to chew gum. Must someone teach you to dispose of it when you've had your penny's worth or your conscience bothers you for chewing in public? Can't we be considerate of each other and display civic pride for the appearance of our building by placing our gum in the waste baskets that are so near each fountain? Chew on this. Evelyn Pyzilc, 2B. Answer Challenge or Meet Bad Luck Five for Bad Luck, the last play of the Proscenium Players, may not be given because of lack of backstage help. This play, a comedy that has been planned from the opening of the season, should not be shelved because of disinterest. Every semester one comedy that has always delighted the school nas been presented by the players. However, too much work has been left to the cast. It is almost an impossibility to give a play without an adequate number of stage hands, bookholders, et cetera. If Taft wants this comedy, one up to the standards of Junior's Mustache and What a Life in the Spring, it will have to help set the scenery and keep the backstage wheels rolling. That's the challenge! Come on, Taft: answer it! Taft Tribune Published Bl-weekly by the Journalism Student! ol the WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT HIGH SCHOOL 5625 North Nntomu Ave.. Chicago. Ill.

A. Hoefer's choice for De- cember's Girl of the Month. When Taft was first opened, Joan came from Schurz, full of ideas that would put Taft on the map. Her first great achievement was the founding of the Honor Society. With the aid of Miss Martha Hin- kel, sponsor, Joan has made the society one of the finest clubs in the school. Her interest in Spanish and the relation to the Latin-American countries caused her to take part in three Pan-American conventions. Besides being secretary of the Chi- cago Pan-American club, she is sec- retary of the National Conference. Her other activities include mem- bership in the Senior Girls' club, chairmanship of the graduation committee, and the Beta Tri-Hi-Y. Joan also spends her time around school working in the adjustment office and helping Mr. Addison Purcell, Mr. Arthur Mooney, and the cousins when programming becomes heavy. Her collection of dolls, which she t a 1 Joan Shaw began when a small child, has nov: grown to over 400. Joan plans to attend Lawrence college, where she will study sociol ogy. After college she hopes to be come a social worker. The Tribune Presents Mr. Miller With the Yuletide season in full swing and everyone happily anticipat ing visions of delight, it is the Trib's pleasure to present to the Christ mas-eyed gals and boys tl1e sponsor of the Student Council, mechanica' drawing teacher, and all-around good fellow, Mr He attended Robert Miller. Mr. Miller was born in Chicago some odd years ago and received all of his schooling in this state. Sumner Grammar school, Crane high, and received a B.S. in engineering at the University of Illinois. Foreman and Schurz, along with Taft, have had the honor of his being on their faculties. Fishing takes all of his spare time and money and is his hobby and favorite sport. Upon being asked if he had any secret 01 Mr. Robert Miller burning desire, Mr. Miller replied that he wishei that the Student Council would be more extensively used as a means oi self-erpression of the student body. His present wish now, though, is that Santa Claus will be good tc everyone and that all, every one of you, should have a very Merry Christmas! April Kane to forgive Terry. Edward Schultz, 3B, has set his heart on a mechanical homework machine. Henry Belzer, 4A, asks for noth- ing more than for someone to carry the Trib's typewriters around for him. One thing is sure, the Taft Trib wants S. C. to bring everyone all that his or her heart desires and Merry Christmas!

Solves Mysteries Of Modern Miracles, Trains Vocationally By Doris Ericksen Did you ever wonder why your car skids on wet pavement but not on dry pavement? Did you ever wonder what makes the water flow from the tap when the faucet is opened? What causes the wind to blow? How does sound get from your teacher's lips to your car? The answers to such questions may be found in the study of physics. Physics deals with matter and energy and also with physical changes in matter. Included in its study are mechanics, sound, heat, light, and electricity. Man is indebted to the science of physics for much of the progress that one observes in this machine age. Magic? A person ill New York talks to his neighbors in San Francisco, with huge telescopes, the heavenly bodies are brought close for study. Niagara Falls are harnessed, the Grand Coulee dam is built to turn the energy of white coal into electrical energy: to accomplish such results the engineer must have a knowledge of the science of physics. This science involves the prin- ciples of all kinds of engineering. It is therefore necessary and is required by engineering colleges. It is a desirable part of gene- ral education, states Mr. Clarence Vestal, physics teacher, because it helps o11e to understand the phys- ical world about him and makes him feel more at home in it. On the more practical side, its study may help some boys and girls to discover what they wish to fol- low as a career. Required for Nurses It is necessary not only as a basic training for engineers, but also for nurses and doctors-for nurses especially, for later on their work involves much electrical ap- paratus. Study of physics leads to an un- derstanding of practical devices about the home such as the part heat plays in a ventilating system, telephone and lighting systems, and batteries in cars. While speaking of cars, states Mr. Paul Bigler, physics instructor, I might mention that knowledge of the mechanical and working parts of an automobile, such as the gears and engine, will tend to make people more intelligent and effi- cient owners and operators. By knowing how certain parts work, the driver will be able to make minor repairs himself thus saving a lot of wear and tear on his Sunday suit and his wallet. Taft Tribune The Student Council Invites YOU ' With the holiday spirit predominating, the Student Council Wlll give one of the gayest events of the season, the Mistletoe Hop, this Friday afternoon. To provide necessary funds, the Council will sponsor a film to be presented by the Visual Education club, Streets of New York, starring Jackie Cooper, tomorrow. The film will be shown during the first and second and eighth and ninth periods for 10 cents. One of the special features of the dance will be the presenta- tion to the school of two 400-watt spotlights with color screens. All are cordially invited free of charge, SLP's Rebuked B Trib Staff Is the division you belong to a member of the S. L. P.?

Mrs. Lino Extends Thanks To All On behalf of the music depart- ment I wish to extend thanks and appreciation to Mr. Hoefer, the of- fice force, the faculty, the mainte- nance force, and the student body for making our fall concert such a huge success, stated Mrs. Ruth Lino, head of the music depart- ment, in an exclusive interview to- day. The concert was presented last Tuesday to a packed house-so packed that two rows of chairs were placed in the orchestra pit for the audience. Special thanks goes to Richard Gill, stage manager, Hal Lloyd, light manager, and Helen Guernsey, 208 a.m., who sold 52 tickets. Feudin' Professors Decide Something About Nothing By Norman Esserman Three years of feuding have been brought into the limelight by the formation of the committee for the sciencizing of history, headed by Mr. J. K. Mc Calmont, to fight against the isolationist organization of Mr. K. Osbon, no foreign subjects committee. In private life these two men are great friends, but they can't agree in matters of education. The shenanigans have been re- ported to make the Benny-Allen misunderstanding look like an un- sponsored short wave program. Science vs. Spirit of '76 Mr. Mc Calmont is of the opin- ion that history should be taught on a scientific basis, while Mr. Osbon thinks chemistry ought to be committed to memory in a manner similar to that of the spirit of '76. Students who have both instruc- tors in class are apt to think that Isaac Newton discovered America and Benedict Arnold betrayed gravity by inventing the airplane. Your reporter, after a grueling double period in a biology lab, corrected both gentlemen by in- forming them that Darwin was the culprit. Land Discovered, 'tis Stated! At this interjection Miss Maud C. Nelson of the history depart- ment claimed that an Italian helping Spain stumbled across our fair land. This is hard to believe because this happened before the time of the Spanish Civil war, so there wasn't any need for Italian help. A word to the wise: don't go too near these versatile men un- less you have super will power. Either one can talk so convin- cingly that we had given them our copy of the Trib free before we read it.

Then again you may have heard a name band in a jam session with the powerhouse, especially the hides, drowning out the low down of your favorite plumber. If you don't understand what has just been said, then you are badly off and need Professor Smith's easy lessons on swing lingo.

Hav- ing tried unsuccessfully for a Week to diagnose the exact nature of his ailment, doctors have finally ana- lyzed it as a flu infection in his blood stream. Jim collapsed Wednesday even- ing, November 26, and when by Fri- day morning infantile paralysis symptoms became evident, he was taken to the Contagious Disease hospital, where many tests were made. Since the tests proved negative, he was moved to St. Francis hos- pital, where he has been under observation and is still seriously ill.

Taft Tribune Unsung Heroes-Record K eepers Hidden away in the small cubby- hole at one end of the office are the unsung heroes for this issue- the record office helpers. According to Miss Helen Lowes, who is in charge of the record office, the girls, Elsie Georges, Eleanor Lokke, Mildred Idle, Vir- ginia Gilhaus, and Charlotte Mack, have been hiding their light under a. bushel of work and deserve much credit. Requirements? The best! All of the R. O. assistants are outstand- ing in scholarship. The girls must have initiative and judgment. They must possess the ability to handle records im- personally and objectively and above all display the traits most needed in filling the requests of teachers and students, courtesy and tact. The girls have been excellent workers, says Miss Lowes. Much of the routine of the record office is handled by them between semes- ters as well as during, and their help ls what keeps the office from getting behind in work. Their serv- ice is really that of trained office clerks although they are seldom seen or heard. Elsie Georges leads the helpers with one and one half years of service, while Eleanor Lokke and Mildred Idle follow with one year each and Virginia Gilhaus and Charlotte Mack with one semester each to their credit. Burns's Protege Attends 'Necking' Party - Squash l By Lois Johnson So great was the fear of a little mouse when he heard the news of Taft's rodent campaign that he de- termined to get out of town Decem- ber 5. Upon leaving his home in room 203, he was espied by Miss Alice Moloney's transcription stu- dents. It is said that an elephant will stampede upon sighting a mouse. The same apparently goes for Taft girls. Confusion reigned as the pur- suers flew down the corridors. At last the mouse was cornered, but, acting contrary to all mouse be- havior, he turned about and de- voured a portion of Flora Mae Beck's ankle and topped off his combat by gnawing Clarence Wing- fieId's finger. Now Flora Mae, acting contrary to all feminine behavior, rung the little cannibal's neck and flung it away. What a catastrophe that was! Immediately a searching party was organized to find the deceased ro- dent to determine if the beast suf- fered from rabies. Burns apparently was not on familiar terms with mice when ln his ode, To a Mouse, he said, Wee, sleekit, cowrin', tim'rous beastie. Get Tickets Now Get your ticket before January 9 to hear Taft's choruses com- pete for the first time with oth- er Chicago high school choruses. The tickets for the program, which will take place at Lane the evening of January 15, are 28 cents. Last year the orchestra alone represented Taft and brought home an S rating. Bowlers Vie For Taft Title So close is the competition in the miniature all-star bowling tournament held every Monday that only three games separate the first team from the last. The Bird Boys fLingenfelder, Kulik, Ciecko, Kowalewski, and Carbonel, the Lucky Strikes tVlas- sak, Baley, and Bartellj, and the Los Stinkos fHarris, Ramsey, Mac- Pheeters, and Kiefferj are tied for first place. The Fornisars, Straight Shooters Spares, Mallards, and Brudders are behind them in the order listed. Dick Bartell Heads Boys Dick Bartell of the Lucky Strikes is heading the boys in the indivi- dual high three-game scores with a total of 574, his three games be- ing 229, 202, and 143. This score is just a few pins too low for Dick to gain recognition among other high school bowlers. In the girls' Monday league, the Wheerojubes tBehm, Juberg, Boh- mer, and Wheelerj were perched in first place, but are losing ground to the Smoothies tGloria and Vir- ginia Kissel, Fara, and Ellicksonj and the Foulline Fems fAnderson, Georges, Ehmann, and Schmidty who are just one game behind. The Dumbelles, Pin Busters, Whirlaways, and the Four Wolves are also in close pursuit. Betty Ehrlich Leads Girls Betty Ehrlich's 201-game is the third highest among the girl bow- lers of the city. The Alley Rats of the Thursday league tNorma and Mildred Tess, Jakobsen, and Lindsayj have been in first place every week. The Gor- donettes are in second. 55 Lois Johnson, 4A, Gains Affluence By Going Literary On Lunchroom Pest Lois Johnson, English 8 student of Mrs. Adelaide Holterhoff, is the winner of the Worst Pest in the Lunchroom essay contest, an- nounced in the October 31 issue. Her essay, judged best by Mlss Hattie Marquardt and Miss Mary Maxon, will reward Lois with one drzllar in activity tickets. Winners of second and third prizes, 50 cents and 25 cents in activity tickets, are respectively Vivian Winkates, English 1 stu- dent of Miss Helen Leitenstorfer, and Suzanne Simpson, 2A. Lois's essay follows: The charitable lunchroom pest who is so kind that he leaves some of his lunch for his fellow class- mates who use the lunchroom the following period is not properly appreciated. Why? Sixty-four Dollar Question Doesn't he know that those large green box-like objects are not standing along the walk for deco- rative purposes, but are useful for dispfislng of lunch wrappings or doesn't he care? Why, instead of working off ex- cess energy by piling up chairs or chasing Jane down the aisles, does he not take a walk to the waste containers with his papers and put his eating utensils where they be- long? Perhaps the answer is that he is an animal lover. He wants to be sure that Taft will have a good sup- ply of rodents and insects: so he does all he can to encourage them by leaving plenty of food. Unemployment Problem Solved Or is it maybe that he does not want to increase the unemploy- ment line hy decreasing the amount of work for the lunchroom help? If he didn't leave his table all clut- tered up, what would the employes have to do? Certainly, if he knew that he is considered a relic of the Middle Ages he would rapidly reform. It was a common practice in the Dark Ages to push the remains of the meal off on to the floor for the dogs, but we have no hungry ca- uines in our cafeteria.

The junior cagers were less fortunate, losing to the Tigers 29 to 27. The seniors snatched the lead in the first quarter and held it throughout the game. Chuck Gau- ger started the ball rolling by sink- ing one in the first few minutes of play, and his teammates followed his example by swishing 10 buckets and making two out of three free throws to make the score 22 to 11 at the end of the first half. The Austin cagers surprised the Eagles with a series of baskets in the second half when Coach Jack Rapper sent in the second team. Point by point the invaders gained on Taft until the first team took the floor once more to stem the Austin tide. The small but enthusiastic crowd cheered wildly as the Silver and Blue held the Maroon and White until the horn blew ending the game. The starting line up for Taft was Gauger and Paulish, forwards, So- derholm, center, and Lakafka and Corcoran, guards. I The junior teams of both schools were about equally balanced. The whole game was a. thriller with many flurries of temper on the parts of both teams because of fouls committed. The score at the half was 16 to 15 in favor of the Ma- roon and White. The starting line-up for Taft was as follows: Otolski, forward: Bu- jewski, forward: Andersohnn, cen- terg Monnich and Smith, guards. Substitutes were Beyer, Kozny, and Barry, forwards. A Big-Little Sisters Entertain at Party Last Friday marked the second annual Christmas party for the Taft GAA girls. The party was held in two ses- sions: freshmen and juniors at- tended seventh and eighth periodsg sophomores and seniors, fourth and fifth. A short program, arranged by Mary Jane Shirley, 4A, president of the GAA, was presented. Enter- tainers were Lydia Luptak, 3A, and Wanda Fischer, 4B, dancers, and Betty Mc Quilken, 4B, vocalist. Dance music was provided by the Esquires, Taft dance band, and re- freshments were served by the com- mittee under the direction of Joan 51-nn-n nknirrnnn Taft Tribune Who Says There Is No Santa Claus?

O.'s Taft Basketeers The opening basketball games of the '41-'42 season against Foreman December 4 ended in defeat for both the juniors and senior teams, the scores, 23 to 20 and 39 to 32 respectively. The starting five for the Sil- ver and Blue juniors were as fol- lows: Otolski and Anderssohn, for- wardsg Craig, center, and Monnich and Smith, guards. The game was fast, with Fore- man fighting to keep a slight lead acquired from the start. At the half the score was 11 to 9 in Fore- man's favor, a margin that won the game for the invaders. Playing for the seniors, Soder- holm and Paulish opened as for- wards, while Corcoran played cen- ter and Kotowski and Lakofka filled the guard positions. A tight defense and a deadly passing attack spelled victory for the visitors. Soderholm paced the seniors with five buckets and a free throw. Assisting cagers were Steeve, for- wardg Wilkins, guardg and Gauger, forward. Girls and boys desiring to become cheer leaders should see Mr. H. Miller. sponsor, at once.

Certainly it is a won- derful privilege-to be alive at a time when your country really needs you and you can participate in the many endeavors and ventures that will insure for all time those principles of government which have become so distinctively a part of our very souls. Living in a troubled world isn't just all hardship: it also provides a joyous challenge for service. Determinati Lresourcefulness, and steadl' application-all lift self-discipline and ha ship to the level of a glorious adventure. And so, let me say to you that we banish our fears, that we feel our hopes and ambitions are safe with youg and that our country, regardless of its needs, has new and splendid champions in you, the January class of 1942. Sincerely, L. A. Hoefer.

Citizens of Today To Be 'Citizens Of Tomorrow' Taft takes to the ether waves Sunday, January 25, at 1:30 p. m. on WGN's Citizens of Tomorrow program. Prin. L. A. Hoefer will open the program with a brief history of Taft. A short biography of Mr. Hoe- fer will be followed by Stephan Kruty's history of the accomplish- ments of William Stephan, an out- standing student. Among the guests of honor will be Alderman William J. Cowhey of the 41st Ward, Dr. John Bell, dis- trict superintendent, Mrs. F. Rus- sell Lyon, president of the Illinois Congress of the Parent-Teachers as- sociation, and Mrs. Peter Flauter, local P. T. A. president. Mrs. Ruth C. Lino's girls' chorus will sing Balloons in the Snow and Children of the Moon. The audience of 600 Taft students will sing the Taft Loyalty Song and the Star-Spangled Banner. The program will be ended by a cheer led by Marjorie Mann. The audience will have two re- hearsals with the cast. A recording of the program will be made Wed- nesday, January 21, at 4 p. m. After the show, two movies will be seen in the studio. Tutors Attempt To Keep Troph Senior Team, Alumni To Play On Triple Bill By Frank Bostwick Brain vs. Brawn titles the fast and furious action to take place this afternoon in the boys' gymna- sium when the faculty plays the football team. The proceeds of the game will be used to obtain Na- tional Defense stamps to be distrib- uted to the needy students of Taft. Will the heads of Taft outwit the heroes of the gridiron in the second annual basketball game as they did a year ago C22 to 211 and win again the coveted Washbowl Trophy? Sabotage Indicated Not if we can help it! is the reply of the challengers as the zero hour approaches. The only reason they won last time was that they had six men on their side. The ref was practically playing with them, insists one of the gridders' squad. The defending champions seem to think they have nothing about which to worry. This optimistic attitude is probably due to the fact that Muscles Kupcinet will be swishing the air-filled projectile through the hoops, or perhaps it is because Sharpshooters Bigler and Teuscher will again show their prowess. Miller, Rapper to Play Of course, Coach Harry S. Miller will be assisting the champs along with Coach Jack Rapper, who prac- tices in every spare moment. After the battle the Taft dance band will entertain the crowd until the second annual alumni-senior basketeers' game begins. Two exciting games and a dance for the small sum of 25 cents plus tax! Be a true American. Help buy Defense Stamps for less fortunate Taftites and witness one of the most entertaining spectacles of this or any other semester. 53 Taft Tribune Scales T QU, Fzgures Bulge As Facult Devours Delicacies Mrs. Rhea Lewis selects a dainty sandwich with care.

These girls handle all school col- lections and funds faithfully and reliably. Most of the girls are 3B's and many have worked here since they were 1A's. Two of the girls -Jean Crist, office manager, and Lois Mau-are graduating this Feb- ruary. All money to be deposited to the scl1ool's bank account is brought to these girls who check and recheck the amounts received, make out re- ceipts, total the days' proceeds, and deliver the money to Brink's service men. Mr. Fullmer chooses workers with initiative and reliability, but does not require previous business experience. However, he prefers to have bookkeping students with averages of E or better. Other helpers are Marilyn Evans, Lucille Brandt, Ann Majercik. Ethel Klipfel, Elaine Von Ehren, Renee Knoder, Betty Neiman, Yo- lando Mazzoni, and Betty Herman. They enjoy their work, but who doesn't like to handle money? Borrowitis Strikes! Wctim Doomed Poetry pays, according to Lois Gohde, English 4 student of Miss Martha Hinkel, who receives one dollar in activity tickets as the winner of the fourth essay contest sponsored by the Taft Trib. Winners of second and third prizes, 50 cents and 25 cents in ac- tivity tickets, are respectively James Concannon, English 5 stu- dent of Mrs. Adelaide Holterhoff, and Lorraine Jachim, English 7 stu- dent of Miss Janice Fink. Lois's poetic answer to the ques- tion, Whom do you consider the worst pest in the class room, is as follows: He borrows a pencil, He borrows a pen, He borrows some paper From Johnny or Ben. He borrows some ink, He borrows some lead, He borrows from Thomas Or Jimmy or Ned. He borrows erasers, He borrows your comb, He borrows your ruler And leaves it at home. He won't take a hint In spite of all that is said: I think he will borrow Until he is dead. Money, Knowledge Gained by Students Working in College Education Expenses Paid ByPart-time Employment By Audrey Dietz The Illinois Institute of Technol- ogy, whose divisions are Armour College cf Engineering and Lewis Institute of Arts and Sciences, is now offering a co-operative educa- tional program to enable boys and girls to help finance education ex- penses. This program, called learning and earning, operates on a calen- dar year basis rather than on the usual school year. There are alter- nate eight-week periods of attend- ing classes and of employment in a business or industry related to the course being taken. Wages earned during the working period will completely pay for tuition fees. Experience Pays Dividends Under this plan it takes five years to complete college, but the experience involved is equivalent to four years of college training and two and one-half years of business experience which would be extreme- ly valuable in continuing employ- ment. At Armour College the plan serves ambitious young men and also provides a selected group to various industries. Graduates are awarded the bachelor's degree. At Northwestern, the co-operative plan does not begin until the sec- ond year. Merchants Join Plan The University of Chicago has no formal co-operative plan, but this year a study-employment arrange- ment was organized with the co- operation of Marshall Field and Company. This part-time employment and study is intended for young men and women who are willing to oc- cupy one of the positions character- istic of a department store organ- ization. The student's school program is arranged so that the combination of work and study will not be too demanding. The student carries fewer courses each quarter than does the unemployed student. Young men and women who have attended college under this plan find themselves well prepared for their life's work. Mrs. Mary Farrell, senior class adviser, believes that this plan is very beneficial to anyone going through school. Large firms throughout the city are very will- ing to offer positions to part-time workers. Consult Mrs. Farrell for further information.

The American Legion has just announced that its fifth annual high school oratorical contest will te held from April 8 to 18. Winners of regional contests will meet at some place of historical in- terest for the finals. Arrangements for regional con- tests are in the hands of depart- ment committees, and each commit- tee head may choose the subject for use within that district. The same subject and oration used in the department contest will be used in the finals. The oration topic for this section will soon be announced. The main themes of orations in past contests were The American Way of Life, The Constitution and Its Rights, and The Benefits of Being an American Citizen. The winner will receive a 54,000 scholarship and an engraved wrist watch. The runners-up in the final contest will each receive an en- graved wrist watch. Presidents Attend G. A. A. Council Outgoing president, Mary Jane Shirley, and future president, Wan- da Fischer, attended the midsec- tion meeting of the citywide GAA Council at Amundsen Wednesday. The meeting was held in the form of a round table discussion on problems of interest to all. The question of closing intra- mural or extra-curricular activities to non-GAA members, ways and means of maintaining the interest of the upper classmen in the GAA, and GAA activities in the present emergency were the main topics of discussion. Taftites Compete In Choral Contest Both the mixed and the girls' choruses, under the direction of Mrs. Catherine Smith and Mrs. Ruth Lino respectively, raised their voices in competitive song at Lane last night against other northwest side high schools. While the choruses sang, a rec- ord of their selections was made to be presented to the school. Although this is the first time Taft's vocal units have competed, the band and the orchestra last .Taft Tribune As Taftites Set Trap: Conclude Campaign Rat Elimination Aids Defense of Nation They didn't use the Pied Piper's pipe, just rat traps, but Taftites were equally successful in their rat elimination campaign. The campaign, which began in November and lasted through De- cember, ended with a report by each division on what it had done toward rat elimination. Rodents, Beware! The total report is as follows: 435 students burned garbage 62 wrote letters to the alderman about slow garbage removal. 294 caught rats with traps. 626 caught mice with traps. 151 used rat poison. 168 plugged up holes. 93 sealed up other means of en- try. 46 used other methods such as rat terriers, or shooting to cats, eliminate. Special credit for the success of the campaign goes to Chairman Mary Jane Caboor, 4B, and Alter- nate chairman Robert Bianchi, 3A, Publicity committee, Eleanor Kra- lik, 4B, and Ann McTaggart, 3A. Although the rat elimination, a phase of the Clean-up campaign, is ended. the above officers' work is not finished. They will head a com- mittee consisting of one member from each division to be elected February 1. However, Taft students should make the war on rats an all- year-round one since it is reported that there are as many rats in Chi- cago as there are people. Rats cause waste, and war against waste is the civilian's part in national de- fense. Patriotic Theme Inspires Clean-Up Poster Contest With national defense as the theme, the citywide clean-up poster contest got under way this fall. In the art departments of the Chicago public high schools, posters were created and sent to Miss Jane Pal- cyzinski. art supervisor of the Chi- cago hign schools. Students of Mrs. Ida Goldfein's art classes participated in the con- test: Lucille Sussland, 2A, Donald Sinnen, 4B, Ann Marie Danielson, 2A, Ruth Droege, 1A, Florence Willard, 2A, Bob McGrath, IA, Wil- liam Loeschen, 2A, and Richard Landerholm. year brought home an E and an S rating respectively in the city- wide contest. 59 Rodents Take Rap Taft Victory Team Conguers World For Przncqnal and Alma Mater Tait's infomation experts-left to right.

The occa- sion was A Presentation of Talent Interests in a United Community sponsored by the P. T. A. The program began with a salute to the flag. Following came ad- dresses by Mrs. Peter Flauter, pres- ident of the P. T. A., and Principal L. A. Hoefer. The Taft Honor So- ciety under the direction of Miss Martha Hinkel presented The Roll Call of Talent. An interesting technicolor movie. This Amazing America, which de- picted a trip from coast to coast, was shown. The Edison Park com- munity chorus under the direction of Mr. William Kreamer sang sev- eral numbers. Mrs. William M. Kreamer, music chairman oft he P. T. A., gave a vocal solo. Several selections were played by the Taft concert band under the direction of Mr. John Rapier. Expose Taft Artists Have Designs On Art Calendars Taft has been represented in the field of athletics, on the radio, in the musical world, and now Jean Hoban, Joseph Kobeck, and Eileen Stokes have once again put us out in front with their art work. Each year the art departments of the Chicago public high schools submit wooden and linoleum block prints to Miss Elizabeth Wells Robertson, the directress of art of the Chicago high schools. From the hundreds of prints that are submitted those that are judged best in art spirit and ex- pression are printed in the annual engagement calendar, which is then sold with the purpose of bringing enjoyment to the owners. Over 100 block prints were sent from Taft last June. From these Eileen's, Jean's, and Joseph's were selected for the calendar. 50 Taft Tribune Ode to Graduates Your days of high school study now are drawing to a close: You soon will leave the shelter that with a high school goes. You will be on your own e'er long, Your aim to do or die. And as you fondly gaze at Taft, You softly say Good-by. The hours of study-staunch and hard-no longer seem a bore, Your classes now seem wondrous things- They never did before. Post-graduate days no longer are thought of with a sigh, For soon they too shall all be yours When you have said Good-by. Goodby! It will not be for long, for years do quickly fleet, And soon the time will come again When your paths will meet. There is so much for you to learn and do: so may your aims be high, And may you kindly think of those who now bid you Good-by. Lorraine Risavy Bu Defense Stamps: Dr. fohnsan Dear Students: Every individual in the entire nation is clamoring 'for a place in defense work. Each one asks, What can I do? The able-bodied men, of course, are taking their place in the army, the navy, the air force, and the marines. The Red Cross is active, organ- izing groups of women for first aid, knitting, and sewing. Other organ- izations are keeping up the morale of the service men. That kind of service is extended almost exclusively to adults, you think, and you want to know something you can do to help. We know you are willing to make sacrifices as well as the older members of your family. There is one thing you can do. Buy Defense Stamps. A dime will buy one, or a quarter, or a dollar. Every penny counts toward owning a bond. Contribute to the Red Cross. Help them to carry on their splen- did services. There is another way you can serve your country-continue your edu- cation. If you are still attending high school make every sacrifice to finish your course, You are the men and women of tomorrow and our country will always be in need of well-trained men and women, Carry on your education for the defense of your country. Sincerely, William H. Johnson, Superintendent of Schools. The .Case of Mrs. Smith Versus P See that piece of refuse on the lunchroom floor? Looks harmless, doesn't it? But it isn't! It's Taft's Public Enemy No. 1. It is so criminal that it has caused Mrs. Blance Smith, lunchroom head, a fractured arm, much pain, and a stay in the hospital. The accomplices of that piece of refuse were two boys who, because they were acting up, forced Mrs. Smith to run after them. In so doing she slipped on the obnoxious waste paper that cluttered the floor. The refuse isn't guilty, but the people who left it there are. Does the shoe fit you?

The fire was existinguished by the fire department which arrived a few minutes later. What a Team! Joe Giorno and Bob Suvada, 3B's, are a team. When Mrs. Adelaide Holterhoff, English teacher, was explaining democracy, she cited, Abraham Lincoln was a great democrat. Joe and Bob rose as one man to shout, He was a Republican. Joe made a report on English dramatists for the same class and remarked that it was interesting to find that so many of them came from Dublin. The teacher asked Bob then who came from Dublin, and he replied, Why, the Irish, of course! A January 16, 194.

As to future plans, Mr. Rapper refused to talk. Ruben, Halverson Babies Arrive Santa Claus and the stork had a pretty close race to the Irving Ru- bens and the Ellis Cobb Halversons. A blessed bundle weighing eight pounds arrived at the Rubens' De- cember 18, their wedding anniver- sary. The baby was born at the Mich- ael Reese hospital. Both mother and baby are doing well, and the father, Taft bookkeeping teacher, is reported to be recovering from the strain although he has iso HE saysj lost seven pounds. As the result of a contest held by the father, the baby will be dubbed Harriet. Harriet came home New Year's eve just in time to cel- ebrate.

Since the little vol- ume of joy resembles his father Csays Mrs. Halverson, Taft history teacherl he will be titled Ellis Cobb Halverson Jr. The mother and ba- by are doing well at the Highland Park hospital. The father is able to go about his work. Additions to Seyller, Vestal Clans Mr. Kenneth Seyller, junior coun- selor, also acquired an addition to his family during the Christmas holidays. Unlike the Ruben and Halverson offspring, his was in the form of a grown-up, Mr. Walter F.

Bonnie Scott Comes Out Miss Bonnie Scott, daughter of the socially prominent Dr. Richard Scotts, made her debut at the facul- ty tea held at Taft December 17.

Out of Circulation According to Brother Frank, Jean Bostwick has gone off the deep end now that she has an- nounced her intentions to wed Dick Downing fbrother of Jim, presi- dent of the Student Councill. Un- fortunately the ceremony will be postponed for the duration of the war since the future bridegroom leaves for Kelly Field, Texas, Jan. 20.

'rue highlightlof the affair oc- curred when Miss Scott, after a formal introduction to the disting- uished guests, turned and said with a. slight curtsey, Ga-Goo-Da- Ba. This little speech is, of course, self explanatory. Miss Scott has been spending most of her time up to the present in her private boudoir, but now that she has made her bow to so- ciety, her name will figure more prominently in social circles. Purcells Return from South Mr. Addison Purcell, renowned chemist, is back at work after a two-week sojourn in Florida. One peculiar physical aspect of his re- turn is the little black patch he again sports on his eye. Before leaving on his trip, Mr. Purcell voiced his eagerness for a visit to Cuba. Mrs. Purcell, how- ever, elected Florida, and from the looks of things she forcibly got her way. Of course, the patch may just be covering a badly sunburned area. With the coming of the new year, another figure steps into the lime- light at Taft. He is Edward Steeve, Principal L. A. Hoefer's choice for the first boy of the month for 1942. Since his coming to Taft two and one-half years ago from Schurz, Edward has been a member of the Student Council, the Senior Boys' club, the Honor Society, the or- 61 the Month chestra, the basketball team, and the graduation committee. He was a. candidate for class president. In a recent poll held for 2,300 Shopping News carriers at the Chi- cago Youth Exposition, Edward was awarded second-prize medal for his high scholarship. Favorite subjects with Edward are math and chemistry: hobbies, basketball and fishing. Last summer at Yellowstone National Park, he related, I found a nice little lonely part of the lake. Much to my sorrow I saw a man already there. Before very long I had caught a dandy three-pound trout. The man came over to congratu- late me, and imagine my surprise when he introduced himself as Her- bert Hoover, our ex-president! No- ticing his disappointment over the fish he hadn't caught, I gave him mine, thus saving the president from starving, he concluded. Edwards pet peeves are teachers with whom he can't argue, the as- sembly pest, and noisy cars during the ninth period. The only reason I object to the cars, he explained, is that I always wish I were there too. Edward's particular penchants are eating and seeing Taft win. The Tribune Presents M zss Rogers What would you were told that there think if you is a person at Taft with the ability to teach short- United States hand, typing, civics, history, and English? In all prob- ability you would answer impos- sible.' There is such a person here, however-Miss Grace Rogers, Taft's teacher of the month. Born in Zanesville, Ohio, Miss Rogers and her family were seized with the Wanderlust, and so she was graduated from grade school in New York and later from the East high school in Ohio. Her first two years of college were spent at the Ohio State uni- versityg her first junior semester at Northwestern. Then she returned to Ohio where she received her A.B. degree in United States history. All the Chicago high school teaching in which Miss Rogers has engaged has been at Schurz and Taft. While at Schurz she taught English, shorthand, and typing. She has been teaching United States history and civics at Taft in addi- tion to sponsoring tl1e Senior Girls' club. Her love of dramatics and her ability to get young people to work with her were demonstrated at the Senior Girls' historical sensation, Famous Women, given last year, and again this semester in their tremendous triumph, the Bill of Rights assembly. Miss Rogers's hobbies are making quilts and pottery. She very greatly enjoys working with young people and has sponsored some campfire work at camps during the summer months. Her pet peeve is students who do not have tl1e sense to keep quiet in the auditorium. Her childhood ambition was to be a teacher and she says she has nev- er regretted taking that as a ca- reer. Her main ambition at the present is to master the pipe organ and become a church organist. After she retires from teaching, Miss Rogers would like to get a job writing the historical bakground for some newspaper or motion pic- ture concern. 62 Taft Tribune January 16, 1941 Extempqraneou Excerpts 49x Essay View T he Bride Came E O.

Oh, it's only you- he said as he recognized his son, Tom, dashing young man-about town, engaged only in spending his father's money. Yeah, Dad, Mom sent me down to pick you up so you woldn't stay here all night working on that Davis deal again. Frankly, Tom, I'm worried about that deal, he replied with an air of shattered hope. But wait, you've given me an idea! . , , Yes, you'd make a . . . you'd make a very nice couple, he mused. Couple!!! Oh, no, you don't! Tom was spurred into action. If you're referring to that Mary Davis, who's always got her puss plastered on the society page, you've got another think coming. But, Tom, be reasonable. If you're married to Davis's daughter, he can't refuse my offer. This is the biggest deal I've had in yearsg you can divorce her as soon as J. J. puts his signature on the con- tract. It won't cost you a cent: I'll establish a. trust fund to pay off the alimony. As for the scandal, we'1l make enough on this deal for both of us to retireg we can move to South America. I should be reasonable! Tom was getting madder by the minute. Listen, Dad, you may be able to cut my allowance to S500 a week, but you can't tell me whom I'm going to marry. To Do or Not To Do I guess I was a little foolish, said Parker, a twinkle coming into his eye, but this will just about ruin me, and you'll have to go out and get a job on your own. What kind of girl is she? When do I meet her? The very thought of work almost paralyzed Tom. I knew you'd see it 1ny way, said Mr. Parker, half gloating over his victory. I've already arranged for you to meet her at Chestnut and Main at 12:30 tomorrow and take her to lunch. The next day, at quarter to one, Tom was hurrying along Chestnut street towards the dsignated inter- section, well aware that he was 15 minutes late. But his punctuality was not to be exceeded by that of Miss Davis. About the same time, she was has- tily making her way up Main street toward Chestnut. It appeared that they would arrive at the corner at about the same time. In fact they arrived so simultaneously and with sudh a resounding thud, that, when each had recovered, his or her re- spective senses and picked up his or her battered corpse, a heated' ar- gument ensued, They retired to the far ends of the corner, and each impatiently awaited his or her date. Neither had recognized the other. Haste Makes Waste Un Mary's mindl: That wolf! That fresh guy is probably wait- ing around to follow me when I leave. If Tom doesn't get here in 10 minutes, I'm going to call a policeman. lIn Tom's mindlz That flirt! That gold-digger is waiting for me to apologize to her and offer to take her to lunch so she'll get a free meal. Meanwhile, Mr. Parker has suc- ceeded in making a date with J. J. Davis for the purpose of discus- sing the contract, and the two are on their way to P3,rker's club for lunch. By chance, they pass the corner where the two are still waiting. Parker stops the car to ask Tom why he is still waiting there. Davis likewise gets out and asks Mary for an explanation. In the general awakening and revelation whcih followed, the quarrel over the collision was patched up and it was decided that all four should have lunch togeth- er. But Tom and Mary had taken a sudden mutual liking to each other and the two decided to ditch the others and go off by them- selves. And So They Lived Happily Ever After When Mr, Parker returned home that evening, jubilant with the news that Davis had signed the contract at lunch and that Tom need never see Mary again, he was greeted by a sealed envelope lying on the table in the living room, He opened the envelope and read: Dear Dad: By the time you read this, Mary and I will be Mr. and Mrs. Send allowance check clo Hotel Plaza, Niagara Falls. I Wasn't a Patch Till You Made Me One By Burton Green The blinding lights on the darl lonely road reflected by the drip ping pavement formed myrlads 01 dazzling glares. Nevertheless th4 old car, with poor brakes and worse tires, rushed along at a. dangerous speed-for he was late. His headlights were dim, ont flickered, trying to decide whethei to remain on or off. Still the speed ometer needle quivered at a spo1 which made that rolling energy oi destruction quiver and vibrate at if protesting to him who drove- but heedlessly, for he was late and hurrying. Every so often the road would turn, and as he roared around the curve, he could feel the tires slip ping, sliding on that inky black strip of wet tar on the slick browr concrete. The car kept protesting the tires kept slipping-for he was late. But what is that ahead - that blot of black in darkness, that sha dow blocking the light coming to wards him-what could it be? Prob ably a patch of asphalt in the con crete. But this is a new road, i1 doesn't have any patches yet. Prob ably a grease spot from some truck Or could it be-. His foot flashed from the accele rator to the much-worn brake ped alg he pumped it up and down iz desperation. These brakes, I was going to have them fixed, hs sobbed. The tires screamed and bit inte the cold wet concrete, the can swayed wildly as he fought to keel control, and then that ghastly blacl line drawn in India ink by fiendisl Satan! The right wheels suddenl: locked as the tires touched the tal line, and 4,000 pounds of hot stee skidded out of control-a terrifles shriek, a ghastly, sickening thud- and all was still.

But he's too late-now. january 16, 1942 Taft Tribune How to Balance The Budget? Study Bookkeeping By Doris Ericksen Mr. Malcolm McCuaig, bookkeep- ing instructor, and Mr. Irving Ru- bin, head of the commercial depart- ment, are emphatic in their agree- ment that a knowledge of bookkeep- ing is essential in every business concern for everyone from the big- gest executive to the lowliest office boy. All told, there are 300 job classi- fications in the directory of jobs in which a knowledge of bookkeeping is requested. A bookkeeper's job is not easy. He must not only be thoroughly and perfectly drilled in his a, b, c's, but even more so in his 1, 2, 3's. He must have a natural liking for mathematical calculations. If this doesn't exist, there must be de- veloped patience, accuracy, per- severance, and orderliness. Income Tax Bothering You? lf you don't want to wear out that gray matter later on when you figure out your income tax reports, a little brushing up in the interest- ing matter of simple accounting to- day will save a lot of worry tomor- row. Thus speaks one who knows, Mr. Rubin. An accountant's job is to deter- mine the methods, policies, and pro- cedures in keeping of necessary records: an auditor checks the fig- ures for correctness, and a book- keeper makes the records in the manner and form ordered by the accountant. States Mr. McCuaig, Not only does careful bookkeeping show dai- ly the condition of each individual account in which a company is in- terested, but a summary of all ac- counts shows the active condition of the business as a whole. A -bookkeeper must keep his books in perfect balance to a cent. You may wonder what one missing copper could possibly mean, but even an error of one cent might cause a delay and search continu- ing for days. Super Mind Desirable So you can see where a book- keeper must be good. He couldn't let himself be bowled over by such tongue twisters as liabilities, pro- prietorships, trial balances, in- voices, and depreciation reserves. Even in the home a thrifty house- wife knows how to keep her TGC' ords straight and her budgets bal- anced. The cost of living may not go down for her, but at least she knows what she has done with her money. This knowledge is a necessity for attorneys and administrators and managers of institutions and busi- nesses. A certified public accountant has to satisfy the state department of education that his knowledge of bookkeeping is so complete that his Eddie Editor-'s Note- Due to priorities The Trib was unable to reach Edgar Guest, -so Lillian Wahlqulst, 4A, donated some of her equally interesting masterpieces. Slack Season Girls are wearing slacks at school, Hoping they'll look classy, But this dress only spotlights The unassuming chassis. The art of wearing a pair of pants Requires no great technique: The trouble with the girls is that They haven't the right physique. What's The Use Jack was just a boy whose school attendance had been reg'lar, And chanced to try some ditching With a school detesting fellar, Returning back to school, he found His work had piled up high, Explained his two days' absence with A hastily thought up lie, Some encores he knew, were his Without a doubt, And went to class not knowing What his studies were about. Discussion and debates that day Were just a cloudy mass, He found a test was given in Most every other class. The books he carried home that night, Were more than e'er he'd taken, He did his work and went to bed, Next morning to awaken With just one single thought in mind, Ditching's not for me, For though he'd had a holiday, He paid well for his spree. oan Shaw Wins D. A. R. Award Joan Shaw has been selected from the senior girls at Taft to receive the pin of the daughters of the American Revolution be- cause of her outstanding service to the school and her high scholar- ship. Each year one senior girl is cho- sen from each high school in the union, and at a drawing one girl is selected from each state to take a one week trip to Washington and Mount Vernon with all expenses paid. The other girls receive the honor pin. signature certifying correctness will be prima facie evidence of such correctness. Finally, states Mr. Rubin, some parts of the rudiments of bookkeeping are used universally, whether it's by the housewife in her budgets, the business man in his accounts, the secretary in her private records, or the schoolboy with his allowance. Guessed Faithfully 'Yours If ever you should leave me, And break my trusting heart- Although it sure would grieve me, I'll always take your part. If ever you mistreat me, Of if I find you've lied, The only place I'd seat me Would still be at your side. If you should play a fo0l's role, I'd still come at you beck, But if you ever tell a soul- My love, I'll break your neck . Broken Hearted Are you going to the prom? I hear it every day: And when I say that I can't go They smile and turn away. Four long years I spent in wonder, Waiting for my chance. I lived my life at fashion shows And went to every dance. I learned each step from A to Z3 I tried and tried and triedg Until I stepped upon the floor, My head swelled high with pride. I met up with a boy one day Who captured my poor heart, And now you see us everywhere We never are apart. But now the truth, the awful truth Is seen with just one glance. My dreams have scattered, turned to dust You see he does not dance. A Short Holiday Librarians Take Bookworms were out of luck the Thursday before Christmas vaca- tion when the assistant librarians danced and dined the ninth, 10th, 11th, and 12th periods. The walls of this usually quiet sanctum of readers rang with mer- riment when the 35 bookshelvers got together to devour the cake, cook- ies, cokes, and candy prepared by Mary Jane Shirley, 4A, chairman, and her committee of five, Betty Blagg, Mary Ann Leonhardt, Karen Madsen, Florense Shirley, and Doris Walgren. These Taftites deserved a bit of recreation for their services. Each assistant is scheduled for a diffe- rent task weekly. Among his duties are shelving and arranging books, shellacking and lettering new books, and guarding doors and ma- gazines. Elementary business training stu- dents also help to file. Those who have shown special aptitude for this work will be chosen for desk work next semester. An art com- mittee provides the attractive pos- ters that decorate the library.

You can serve by enrolling in the Red Cross classes which have been organized especially for upper class girls by Mr. Wordell, who is in charge of the Norwood Park field house. During the classes which meet on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 and Tuesday evening at 7:30 the girls will receive first aid instruction. This instruction will be useful in case of epidemics, air raids, in- juries, and for bedside care. Here's a chance for Taft girls to do their part for National defense.

' Red Cross Drive Nets 300 Pounds From Taftites Surpassing all expectation, Taft students contributed over 300 pounds of cookies for rookies in the new popular citywide cam- paign. The drive, which took place De- cember 19, was a part of the Junior Red Cross project being conducted by Taft under the co-sponsorship of Miss Ruth Straight and Miss Don- na Mc Guire. As the register indicated, approx- imately 200 Taftites brought cook- ies wrapped in Christmas trim- mings. Although the work of the Junior Red Cross at Taft has not been pub- licized, it has been active for some- time. The household arts depart- ment has produced several dozen refugee garments during the past year. The work on the dresses was so well done that they were used for models to show other chapters what products are possible from the crude material used. The idea of making the Cookies for Rookies campaign a school project came from students desir- ous of doing something since war has been declared. W o r k i n g along indefatigably with Miss Straight and Miss Mc- Guire are Taft's Junior Red Cross representatives, Lois Miller and Lucille Kimpflin. Lois and Lucil- le were chiefly responsible for the management of the campaign.

Carl was the only swimmer to qualify from Taft. Water polo was recently called the most dangerous game in ex- istence hy a sports writer of the Clzicuyo Nun. This statement can be easily un- derstood if you have witnessed a recent practice session of the swim- ming teams. - Coach Harry Miller decided that as long as the city meet was over, there was no need to follow so rigid a training schedule as before when the mermen were conditioning themselves for the citywide meet at the University of Chicago by kick- ing 20 lengths of the pool, swim- ming with the arms only for 20 lengths, and then using both arms and legs for 40 lengths. Swimmers Relax? This grind gave the swimmers style and speed as well as stamina, but, as the saying goes, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So the coach introduced polo to the tankers. After the first scrimmage everyone realized what fingernails could really do! The scarred mermen, however, dressed their wounds and began again. This time the game proved to be too tough for the water polo ball. In the course of a week the three available balls broke their bladders and brought polo to an abrupt halt. The swimming teams were fortu- nate this year in obtaining blue and white terry-cloth robes, 12 new inner tubes, and four kicking boards. Home, Sweet Home Chuck Gauger, high point man on the senior basketball team, seems to play better at the home games. It isn't because a certain blonde is rooting for him, is it? It ls! Who'd a thunk it! Chuck can boast of being the first player to be seriously injured. In a practice game at Foreman he was fouled and plunged headlong into the wall. The blow knocked him out for four minutes. Did it hurt his head? Heck no, but you should have seen the wall!

Nancy Gray Final averages may alter these tentative rankings. 2' -Ioan Shaw Nancy Gray The average student thinks he is doing quite well if he gets one or two S's in the course of a semes- ter. - More than that seems an impos- sibility to him, but Nancy Gray was not satisfied with one or two S's g her goal was four 'S's' or none, and sl1e made it four S's each se- mester of her high school career, thus enabling herself to graduate with the highest honor possible, that of being valedictorian of the January graduation class. Nancy came to Taft as one of its founders from Schurz. Membership in an organization was not enough for herg she had to hold an office. This determination gave her the vice-presidency of the Alpha Tri- Hi-Y, the presidency of the French club, the secretaryship and vice- presidency of the Student Council. It made her chairman of the pub- licity committee, art editor of the Taft Tribune, and a member of the Honor Society, the Senior Girls' club, the G. A. A. board of control, and the bowling league. Dissatisfied with the complete absence of reference books in the 304 study, Nancy got the Student Council behind her and after much hard work produced the present 304 student library. Her artistic talent gained several Art Institute scholarships for her. In the poll held last spring for tl1e ideal Taftite, Nancy was chosen as the girl from the 4B group. Nancy's main ambition is to be- come a commercial artist.

Through her hard work and per- severance the Honor Society is now one of the most flourishing organi- zations at Taft. Joan is secretary of the Chicago league of the National Conference of Student Pan-American leagues, chairman of the graduation com- mittee, business manager of the mixed chorus, and member of the G. A. A. Board of Control, the Beta Tri-Hi-Y, and the Senior Girls' club. She is also an assistant to the adjustment officers and a physical education assistant. Joan's main ambiiton is to be- come a social worker. Charlene Matousek Charlene Matousek, or Chuck as she is known to her friends, is third so far in the race for class high, Her aim in life is to become a good private secretary. Since her coming to Taft Char- lene has been vice-president and president of the Beta Tri-Hi-Y, chairman of the social committee, and a member of the nominating committee, Honor Society, G. A. A., Pan-Amerclan club, and Student Council. She is also a student as- sistant. Barbara Alitis Barbara Alitis also wants to be- come a successful secretary. Her activities at Taft have been concentrated in the Senior Girls' club, the G. A. A., Saddle and Cycle club, girls' chorus, Alpha Tri-Hi-Y, and the Honor Society. Marilyn Fischer Unlike the efficiency experts, Marilyn Fischer has managed to keep things straight and so will very likely emerge fifth highest senior. Marilyn has served on the gift committee, in the Honor Society, the Senior Girls' club, the G. A. A., the German club, and as a book room assistant. After graduation Marilyn intends to go to business college and later become a private secretary. Her main interest in the sport world is baseball. Her ability in art and interest in the players led Marilyn to sketch the entire squad last season. Lois Johnson It seems to be quite the thing ti bring unsung heroes to the light and so it is no more than fair ti mention the hard work performer by Lois Johnson, at present ranking sixth. When it seemed impossible fo: the Taft Tribune to meet the dead line because of lack of reporters typists, copy readers, or headlini writers, Lois has always been or the spot to clear up the situation- presto-in some magical way. Lois has always been active i1 the Senior Girls' club, the Honol Society, the G. A. A., the gradua tion committee, and has served effi ciently as a member of the gradua tion committee and as busines manager and division treasurer. Lois hopes some day to be a corr mercial artist. N'0l'lll8. Tess One figure seen at every footbal game this fall was that of Norma Tess, seventh ranking graduating senior, according to present aver ages. Rain or shine, Norma wal there cheering the team on, win o lose. Her services at Taft include he position as secretary of the senio class, treasurer of the Senior Girls 5. Marilyn Fischer 6. Lois Johnson 'l. Norma Tess .8. Stephen Kruty 9. Evelyn Kiesel 10. Lucille Klmpflln January 16, 1942 Taft Tribune And Find These T ops In Education club, copy reader of the Taft Tri- bune, math coach, and membership in the Honor Society, bowling league, German club, and hall guard group. After four years of trying to keep up with my school work, I don't have any ambition, confided Norma. Stephen Kruty Stephen Kruty, known to many of his friends as Bud, entered Taft's portals the first day it was opened and in all probability will graduate with the rank of number eight. While at Taft, Stephen has been a member o fthe Honor Society, the Student Council, the Senior Boys' club, and the French club. Stephen's interests lie mainly in movies and radio. Among his favor- ite types of programs are football broadcasts and mystery stories. Stephen's main ambition is to be- come a public accountant. Evelyn Kiesel Although she is president of the German club, Evelyn Kiesel, at present ninth ranking senior, does not possess any of Hitler's dictator- ial manner. She is a member of the Beta. Tri- Hi-Y, tl1e Senior Girls' club, the Honor Society, the social commit- tee, and the operetta club. She is a G. A. A. letter girl, a student assis- tant, and a hall guard. Hers is the worthy ambition of succeeding in whatever she does. Lucille Kimpflin To Lucille Kimpflin will probably go the honor of being tenth high in her graduation class. Since her coming to Taft two ajnd one-half years ago, Lucille has been a member of the Pre-Medics club, the Senior Girls' club, the German club, and the mixed chorus. She has also been a junior Red Cross representative, a hall guard, and a library assistant. Elaine Anderson Determined to excel in all she does, Elaine Anderson is in line for the title of eleventh high. Elaine has contributed to Taft through her membership in the Honor Society, the G. A. A., the Alpha Tri-Hi-Y, and the Pan- American club: the vice-presidency of the Senior Girls' clubg service as a hall guard, student secretary, room chairman, and locker room guard. ' 3. Charlene Matouselz 4. Barbara Alitis Elaine's ambition are divided be- tween being a private secretary and a model. Henrietta Kritikson Proof that to maintain high scholarship it is not necessary to sit around with your nose in a book at all times is offered by Henrietta Kritikson, number 12, according to pre-graduation figures. Henrietta's time is divided be- tween her school work, extra-curri- cular activities, a job, and having a good time. She has been a member of the Student Council, the G. A. A., the Honor Society, the Beta Tri-Hi-Y, and the social committee, and has been secretary of the Senior Girls' club. Her pet peeves are coke dates, noisy radios, and making-up in public. Jack Winton To some people the number 13 is a bad omen, but to Jack Winton it is a good one since it signifies his present standing in the senior class. Jack has been a member of the Senior Boys' club, the social com- mittee, the bowling league, and the Honor Society. He is treasurer of 67 the senior class and a student li- brarian. Wack, as friends choose to call him, has high hopes of some day being an aeronautical engineer. Jean Crist When they came to giving out brains, Jean Crist must have been one of the first in line, for she re- ceived an ample amount and has used every ounce of them to help her attain her present rank of 14th highest senior. She is a member of the Senior Girls' club, the Honor Society, the G. A. A., the French club, and the gift committee, and is the treasur- er's office assistant. She lists among her penchants roller skating, swimming, and dancing. Lillian Marek All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy is a wise old say- ing, and Lillian Marek, at present number 15, has heeded this warn- ing by combining her school work with her extra-curricular events. Lillian has contributed to Taft by her membership in the Senior Girls' club, the G. A. A., the Ger- man club, and the girls' chorusg by her work as a treasurer of the Honor Society, a library assistant, and an adjustment office helper. Edward Steeve Just slipping in under the line is Edward Steeve, so far number 16. Edward's services to Taft have been in the basketball team, the Honor Society, the Senior Boys' club, the graduation committee, the Student Council, and the concert orchestra. The Saint, as he is dubbed by friends, plans to become an engi- neer. .S . . , . . . 11. Elaine Anderson 12. Henrietta Krittlcson 13. Jack Winton 14. Jean Crist 15. Lillian Marek 16.

Thirty-seven Taftites who are tops in their particular fields plan to enter. Miss Helen Howe, music super- visor, and Oscar Anderson, instru- mental supervisor, will put on the show, and several musical artists will judge. Chicago seems to be regarded as a separate state in this instance so that winners will be eligible to en- ter the national contest. Playing the trumpet are Milan Mikulka, Charles Clark, John Mag- nus, James Stanton, and Ralph Mueller. Warren Berg, Ed Palifka, and Wayne Parrish will play in the trombone division, while Jean Young, Bill Bornhoff, Calvin Cash, Harry Taft, and Frank Falkenthal will play clarinet. Lenore Duckheisel, Frank Falk- enthal, Bill Bornhoff, Donna Jane Reynolds, Alice Dolezal, and Jean Beers are wearing out their saxa- phones, while Norm Soderholm, Carl Hagerup, Dick Strass, and Ed Sweeny are wrapped around their horns. Baritone solos will be played by Ed McIntyre and Don Gilmore, and the French Horn by Gerald Tapp, Henry Hand, and Charles Broad. Taft can count on Stanley Logan, Jolm Pokorny, and Richard Stahl to be ready to beat a. mean drum. Batons will be twirled by Elaine Geise, Margaret Scott, Pearl Gund- loch, Betty Schultz, and Patsy Earle. ,i.i Studio Party Needs Talented Particzlvants Calling all talented Taftites! Singers!

A 3A student may average all his final marks together, and must have an average ot' 18 points a se- mester. The grades are counted as follows: Majors: G-2, E-4, S-6 points. Minors: G-1, E-2, S-3 points. Until a person is in 3A he must actually earn 18 points each semes- ter. Only required minors countg gym does not. Students are dismissed from class to attend Honor Society meetings. According to Miss Hinkle, there were 217 honor students when the club was formed. Although the membership of the school has fal- len, there are now 282 pupils on the honor roll. Laboring Taftites Receive Awards On land, in the air, on the sea, and at Taft, service awards are be- ing given. Taft students were presented with service emblems and chevrons January 27 at an assembly the eighth period.

For Newest Styles in Color See Room 112 According to those who believe in the effect of colors on the human mind and body, red is the color of unrest and excitement: blue the color of relaxation and sleepg while green is the color mixture with healing qualities. This may not be the reason but 112, the Waterloo of cutters, has been painted green. It is suggested that the color scheme might help some future in- corrigible in his Arrmidiggon with himself. It is hoped that the users of this room will be helped by the new color scheme as they go about taking the kink out of the school. Drama to Continue Contrary to earlier reports, the Proscenium Players are not going to be disbanded as Miss Marie Fu- gent, pinch-hitting for Mrs. Vera McConville, announced that dra- matics would continue at Taft. Five for Bad Luck, a play scheduled for last semester will probably be the first production. The play, a one-act comedy, fsee Taft Trib, Dec. 165 involves a small town girl, Effie Trask and her un- usual experiences at college. February graduation took Pat Peterson, William Lessmann, Hen- ry Vandenberg, Wilma Dubs, Rich- ard Lewis, and Robert Behr from the cast, but Harriet Grund, Doris Taftites Invade Rat Holes l I by Eleanor Kralik If the neighborhood rats think we've signed a. peace pact with them, they have a great surprise in store, for once again the student body at Taft will unite to combat these enemies. Using rat traps for tanks, rat poison for ammunition, and with a cavalry of cats, the armed forces of our school and community will be on the firing line to rid our districts of these common pests. The downtown council of the Clean-up campaign has urged that the former campaign, which began in November and extended through- out December, be continued. During this campaign students at Taft and others in the community cooperated in the rat elimination drive by burning garbage, plugging rat holes, and using other means whereby they helped to make the campaign a great success. As before, each student is to keep a record of his accomplishments for individual division room reports at the Qlld of February. Zonzius, Lois Miller, Annette Avery, George Hanke, and Norman Esser- man remain to finish the task. An adequate supply of stage hands and book holders have prom- ised to relieve some of the physical tasks from the actors as the Pros- cenium Players, rising from their old laurels, go forth to bring down the curtains on new successes. Brings Home The Bacon The whistle blew. There was a whrrrr ot' skates and a flash of steel and they were oft' to assured vic- tory. And victory was theirs when at the finish the Taft junior ice-men had gained the cit.y league title ln the annual ice skating races held at Waveland Park, January 16. Jack Congdon, outstanding mem- ber of the Frosh-Soph eleven, skated to an easy victory in the 220-yard dash, while George Fischer followed suit by winning the 880 yard race. The silver and blue relay team, composed of Jack Congdon, George Fischer, Jim Semar, and Don Ped- ler, raced the required mile out- stripping the rest of the field to an easy win. The champs piled up 18 points beating Schurz, the only school that came close, by six points. Norbert Boots Mossong, the only member ot' the senior team, copped a first in the 440-yard dash, Mural Contest Closes Soon Honoig students! February 15 marks the deadline for entry into the Honor Society Mural Contest. The sketches of an outdoor scene for the framed 15x21 blank space on the auditorium stage must be presented to Miss Helen Unseth of the art department not later than the aforementioned date. The win- ning sketch will be painted on a canvas which, when desired, can be removed from the frame. Mr. John McCalmont if the chemistry depart- ment is in charge of its fire- proofing. The mural will he presented to the school at the May exhibit of the Honor Society. Heartbeat Hop Tonight What's that? You say Friday the thirteenth is unlucky? All the plans for the Valentine Hop to be held on that fateful day, however, should change your mind. There will he the usual begin- ner's class from 7 to 7:45 p. m.: ad- vanced casses from 7:45 to 8:303 and from then on it's every man for himself. The price is only 11 cents, includ- ing wardrobe checking and the fed- eral t.ax. In addition to the regular dancing. favors and specialities will be given. Who knows? If you attend you might meet your valentine for 1942. 4 Taft Tribune February 13, 1942 Win With Waste Our country needs much of the waste material that we discard daily. An all-out effort to win this war makes imperative the saving of service- able waste materials, Paper is used to produce cartons which carry vital defense equipment. Old clothes and rags composed of wool, are again used in the manufacture of uniforms, socks, blankets, bandages, and pharmaceutical preparations. Used shoes, tires, and other articles containing rubber are essential to war production. The trade routes which carry wool and rubber are tem- porarily shut-off. Tin, especially flexible tubes such as tooth paste and shaving cream containers, is vital in assembling our mechanized units. All scrap iron is of course needed. Vegetable grease, which may be sold to any meat market, is used for numerous items. Certain kinds of refuse make excellent fertilizer for those who plan a garden. American garbage cans reek with wasted would-be food stuff that could help our defense and feed the many starving peoples in the civilian army of our country. Come on gang! Let's do our part and remember that waste is want. How to Become an Egotist 01' HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS AND RUIN PEOPLE In the last issue of the Taft Trib, an essay told Of a Genius by a Genius. Now comes the formula to help us all to be geniuses, at least to ourselves. First we must insist on the use of the word I , Remember the slogan of the old French kings, I, the people. Convince yourself that you are the best person in the world. You have more brains than the teachers. Don't fret because you have. Tell them so! You are brilliant, and brains should not take orders. Be an individualist. See what individualism gets you. As you dust off your pants when you pick yourself up, let us know how you get along. Do what you want. Never let the other person have his way. Always keep in mind that the more people who are disgusted with you, the more people you have harmed. When people won't associate with you, they miss the marvels of your genius, Thus they only hurt themselves. By hurting themselves they lower themselves mentally, and so you go proportionately higher until ln comparison with your contemporaries, you are a genius. If you can't afford the regular course, just make faces at your su- periors to show them how much better you are than they. This course is not guaranteed because it has never come to a success- ful conclusion. Something has always happened to the conductors of the course. If you try the experiment, good luck. We'll see you in directed study. Taft Tribune Published Bl-weekly by the Journalism Students of the WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT HIGH SCHOOL 5825 North Natoma Ave.. Chicago. Ill.

If you have, you would probably find the hallguards are the most misunderstood members of Taft society. They don't need much homework to while away the weary hours, Instead they are being con- stantly entertained by the various individuals who try to sneak past them unnoticed. It really is an edu- cation to observe the different methods they use. You're sure to find at least one Wide-eyed Wilma in a period. When asked for her pass she turns to you with a hurt expression on her face, and queries A pass? Do I need one? Then there is Preoccupied Paul who stares intently at some invisi- ble object in the other direction as he glides past. This is to divert your attention while he becomes in- visible like the object. My Kingdom for a Pass Experienced Elsie is a hard nut to crack. When the hallguard ap- proaches, she innocently asks, Do you know what time it is? mean- while working the combination of her lock. By the time he informs her that there is a clock right over her head, she has the locker open. When informed that Qpelllng 10Ck9I'S between periods just isn't done, this tricky little number obligingly takes out her book and closes it fthe lockerl. Sooner or later Hard-of-Hearing Hank is sure to aDDear. Asking this lad for his pass is like talking to a blank wall. Hank quickly re- gains consciousness, however, when he rounds the corner and unexpect- edly bumps into his division teacher. To Go or Not To Go! Crafty Carl really belongs in the drama club. He evidently con- siders all the world a stage, and that obviously includes the halls, Upon mustering up naive freshie facial expression he sidles up to your chair and in quavering tones, speaks his little piece: I'm new here. Could you please tell me where to find the office? This probably would have touched you deeply, if a couple of his 4A friends hadn't popped up just then with Hey Carl, we missed you in en- core yesterday! But wait! What comes hither with step so bold and a glare in his eye? Is it some strange new speci- men? Eeek, no! It's Mr. Puippo. What am I doing here? I'm no hall- guard!!

February 13, 1942 Coach Rapper Scores Again According to the Chicago Sun, Mr. Jack Rapper, physical educa- tion teacher, is to wed Miss Beverly Greenberg, t.ennis star, in the near future, Either Mr. Rapper is so madly in love with his fiance that he is going to marry her for a soc- ond time tsee wedding report, Taft Tributte, Jan. 16J or. what is more likely, the Taft Tribune is once again scooping the metropoli- tan dailies. Smith Bows Out of Picture The Taft faculty is once again undergoing a change. Miss Eleanor Smith, who made her appearance at Taft last September in place of Mrs. Helen Scanlon, is on her way once more, this time as a music supervisor for the Chicago public schools. The office seems strangely empty since the demure little lady hereto- fore seen sitting there busily en- gaged in work is gone. Mrs. Jane Wiedel has left Taft in search of higher goals along the domestic line. Mrs. Elizabeth King. the matron to whom many of Taft's boys as well as girls have looked up to in their hour of need. is also being replaced. A new matron has not as yet been assigned, and so the girls' gym department is taking over the responsibilities. Mr. Clarence Fullmer is back at his desk once again after a one week seige with the flu, Except for a slight decrease in the waist- line and a tinge of pallor, he is the same efficient king in the counting house, counting out Taft's money. lVIcCuaig Down But Not Out Cutters at Taft had two weeks of glory during the absence of Mr, Malcolm McCuaig, chief hall clear- er. Mr. McCuaig suffered from a recurrence of an attack of Iritis with which he was afflicted during the Christmas holidays. The students of German at Taft are back in the groove since Dr. Grace Buchwillter, German teachtr, has returned. Doctor Buchwalter engaged in flaring exploits in the field of knowledge during her leave and is now ready to transmit the same. unimpaired, to the students at Taft. Miss Catherine Dempsey, office clerk, started the semester in grand style by managing to get herself locked up in Room 215 with a big husky policeman. She claims that it was official business, but the stern look on the officer's counte- nance showed that he was not fool- ng. The results? Purely innocent- Lhe clearing of Taft's money.

Mrs. Vera McC0nville was oper- ated on for appendicitis January 28 and is well on the road to re- covery at the Oak Park hospital. Miss Mary Keech was escorted to school February 3 by a big husky young man from Springfield, Illi- uois. For the benefit of curious fe- males his name ig Cy Keech, and he has brown hair. freckles. and the biggest, bluest eyes you have ever seen. The fact that he is five years old and attends a kindergarten in Springfield might just possibly change the situation a trifle. This masculine wonder is Miss Keech's nephew. 5 Presenting Double Feature As a special feature for issue one of volume six, the Taft Tribune presents a dual selection for the teacher of the month, It is the two attractive young women who are seen daily in the office typing, making stencils, preparing statisti- cal reports, handing out pay-roll checks to eager teachers, and in general keeping the school running smoothly. Their names? Why of course, they're the two musketeers, Miss Catherine Dempsey and Mrs. Esther O'Connell. Miss Dempsey was born in Lo- raine, Ohio. went to Loyola Uni- versity, where she received her Ph.B., and M.A. in French, and taught French and English for some years out of Chicago. Her statement The strain of teaching was too much for my deli- cate constitution was interrupted by a. hearty laugh from Mrs. O'Con- nell. But, she continued after the laughter had subsided, I suppose that's a little hard to believe when you see how big and husky I am now. This last statement was dt- rected to her colleague. Her love of noisy kids, how- ever, persisted, and in 1929 Miss Dempsey returned to the public high schools as a clerk. She spent eight years at Roose- velt, two years at Washburne, and three years at Taft. She has but one pet peeve and that is newspaper reporters, They get into my hair, she snarled. She likes French and mystery stories and dislikes the math in- volved on payday. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher, she proud- ly stated, and added as an after- thought, but now all my ambition is gone. Her duties consist of preparing statistical reports, making out the faculty payroll, obtaining transfers t'rr students, and managing the dis- tribution ol' school supplies. Mrs. O'Connell was born on a farm southwest of Joliet, Illinois. This, she proudly revealed, was just a few feet from the memorable spot where Baby Mooney was born. Her schooling was attained at the Holy Name Cathedral Academy and St. Viators high school. Before taking up the position of clerking Mrs. 0'Connell was a stenographer in the Medical Re- search department of the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, The most interesting and fas- cinating work I have ever done was that with the Federal Deposit In- surance Corporationf' she averred. It was in connection with the early setup in Chicago after the new Banking Act of 1933 had been passed. There were many and var- ied duties associated with this bistory-making act, she concluded. In 1935 she became a school clerk, beginning at Beaubien, then Schurz and finally at Taft. With a sly glance at Miss Demp- sey she replied that her pet peeve was people who have pet peeves. Like many a high school girl, her hobbies are boys, only hers are aged 12, 15, and 49. Her youngest hobby, whom she dubbed Richard, is, in her own words, a financial wiz- ard. Jack. the 15 year old hobby, a Taft student, is planning on being a football player and physical edu- cation teacher. My present ambition is to be in- strumental in some small way in the success of my hobbies, she con- fided. Her duties at Taft consist of the secretarial duties to Mr. Hoeferg the typing, mimeographing, and distributing of the bulletins: the transcribing of student's credits, and the preparation of the gradua- tion list. 6 Taft Tribune HCP Cats iii Groove Sweetheart -of the Month As Swing Linguist Decodes Modern ive to Ickies By Robert Smith Since the last. jam session ad- ditional material has been obtained from the book Music for Fun! By listening in on a conversation between a long-underwear guy and a hep-chick, the following enlightening i n fo rin ation was grasped: The hep-chick was going to town with reasons for a solid powerhouse in a large sized combo, The Long-l1a.ir was in favor of a stronger combination of licorice stick, push-pipe and plumbing, The chick cited the example ot' the name hand with just that set-up that had one big flopperoo in Cl1i. Although it was a killer-diller group, it played too much schmaltz and the cats ruled it out. Longey came back with the fact that sugar-bands such as that of Guy Lombardo were making enough money with their corn to forge three squares a day. At this cutting remark, Chick was taken ahrck, and began to see red. At this time Chick was joined by a Canary and Longey was bolstered by the sight of a friend who played a bow-wow bungalow. Chick once more began her argu- ment for the Upowerhouse' but be- gan to gesture wildly, just missing l.ongey's nose. At this supposed attack, Longey opened his violin case. pulled out a squeak-box and threatened to paste Chick with the bloody end of it. Chick and the Canary lost. their temper at this threat and would have torn Longey and the Dog-house player apart it' they had not been separated by two nosey screw- halls, For the information of those Nicks who don't dig me, a dic- tionary of the terms used follows: The cliairictei- spoken of as Longey is a classical musician. The Chick is a. girl who is in the know, while thc powerhouse she advocated is the rhythm section, and a combo is a, combination or band. The classical musician felt that 'tlieorice sticks tclarinetsb, push- pipes' ttrombonesj, and plumb- ing ttrumpetsj were better. The name-band is a band with a leader of reputeg flopperoo is a flopg and Chi is, of course, Chi- cago. A killer-diller group is one that plays swing with a terrific thrill, but when the Chick said that the schmaltz killed it, she meant that instead of swing, the band played too much sentimental stuff. The corn played by Lombardo A flash of color whirling by. A lovely ballerina floating along. Yes, it's Lucille Nitsche, 3A, Prin, L. A. Hoefer's choice for Sweet- heart of the Month. Lucille, or Lucy as she is called, has provided entertainment many times for Taftites with her .sf excellent dancing ability. But not only Taftites have enjoyed watch- ing her, for she has danced with the Littlefield Ballet at the Civic Opera House, with the Dorothy Dorbin Dancers at the Palmer House and Drake Hotel, and with the Chicago Opera Company at the Goodman theater. Among Lucille's numerous activi- ties at Taft are the girls' chorus, of which she is president, and the Honor Society, in which she is chfirman of the dance committee. She is a member of the Screw- balls in the Bowling league. In Lucille's sophomore year she was chosen as one of the Ideal Taft- ites, and she won the posture con- test last year. Her hobby is collecting dance steps and costumes from various lands. She has no particular pet peeves and her favorite dish is chile con carne. As to sports, Lucille favors horse- back riding and swimming. Lucy is a straight S girl and plans to go to college. Right now, however, her secret ambition is to perform difficult dance steps which she hasn't already mastered, and her secret desire is to take a few weeks vacation and go to Texas. Taft Fireman Makes It Hot by Henry Green Who is it that is making it hot for Taftites? It's Mr. R. Swenson, Taft's fireman, He doesn't always sit and smoke that pipe down in the boiler room. He is responsible for all the heat that is being put on Taftites. It takes eight hundred tons of coal to heat Taft every winter, or about four tons a day. Every time the piston on the stoker goes in, it pushes another seven pounds of coal into the boiler. If there is anyone who wishes to get in trim for the hereafter by be- ing an experienced coal shoveler, apply at Taft's boiler room. The stokers could use a rest. Then too, at Taft, is a man who fixed more doorknobs than any other living man. He is Mr. W. Harry tbetter known as Butchl, Taft's carpenter and chief fixer- upper. Besides doorknobs, he fixes hinges, broken desks, and any broken things that can be repaired. Note: He says he always gives service with a. smile. is a form of old-fashioned mediocre music. The canary who joined the Chick was a female singer. while the bow-wow bungalow and dog house refer to the bass fiddle. Farrell Helps Grads to Get Employment Mrs, Mary Farrell, Taft's one- man placement service,, has been a great help to graduating students. In the January graduating class 7101, of the students wanted work and 2815 expected to go to college. Out of those who Wanted work, 38172, received jobs with the average be- ginning salary of seventy dollars a month. If you were to look around town you would find as pages in banks, Eldridge Adams, Elaine Anderson, Doris Carlson, Eileen Jensen, Lois Johnson, Betty Miller,, Patricia Peterson, Don Reum, Helen Swan- son, and John Wortman. Doing office work are Lillian Aehlert, Howard Behm, Robert Behr, Mary Cwiertnia, Ruth De- Graf, Genevieve Gnaski, Lorraine Hanson, Jean Isakson, Evelyn Kei- sel, Norma Lehman, Lois Mau, Jean Nessheim, Dorothy Rogers, Evelyn Schneider, Joan Shaw, La Verne Schumaker, Bill Stephan, and Gladys Thor. James Craig is an apprentice in a Tool and Die Company, while Herman Fischer is bringing home the bacon as a butcher's appren- tice.

Study Science, Learn Answer by Doris Ericksen Believe it or not should really be the heading for this story. The incoming freshmen are practically rushing to be included in the gen- eral science classes in spite of tl1e fact that it is a required subject. What makes it so interesting? Simply that so many different phases of work are taken up that no one has time to be bo1'ed. Among topics studied are food physiology, hygiene, astronomy, weather, climate, and water supply. The Dead Arise Miss Irma Grosser, science in- states, They like espe- structor, cially to note the scientific aspects involved instance brought. in newspaper stories-for in the account of a man back to life after being pronounced dead while undergoing an operationp in that of the effect of stimulation on a man found frozen to death in an alley 5 and in that of a boy whose tongue was frozen to a lamp post. Pupils learn to judge so that bizarre tales, supposed to be scien- tific, are not taken gulliblyf' Mechanics Also Studied Mechanical work, which is in reality application to physics and chemistry, is studied later. Simple and complex machines, fuels, com- bustion, fire prevention, light, sound, and electricity are just a few of the topics studied. Knowledge of the scientific fact of these principles and ideas, which are the tools of the scientist, enables one to understand his en- vironment. Appreciation of the benefits of science to human progress, knowl- edge concerning applications and principles which science has devel- oped to give greater comforts and conveniences in home and commun- ity, and the habit of scientific thinking are all objectives in the general science classes. Scientific Attitude Promoted Classwork is supplemented by movies, field trips, book reports, projects, and demonstrations to de- velop a scientific attitude which could be characterized by these mottoes: be open-minded: get the factsg recognize the problemg ex- perimentg make accurate observa- tions: do some reflective thinkingg weigh results and make scientific conclusions. Another objective, states Mr. C. E. Johnson, head of the general science department, is to stimu- late scientific interest to a point where learning becomes voluntary and natural, possibly with the re- sult that some scientific pursuit is chosen as a vocation, l Alumni Hold Round -Table Chat The officers oi the Alumni Association get together to make plans for the coming seorson's recreation.

W'right All Out For Defense Going over the top for defense, Wright City Junior College, because of the shortage of skilled defense workers, is giving a special techni- cal course. This is a one-year course, including in its curriculum rhetoric, mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, drawing and radio. In addition 10 special credit courses will be offered to students in preparation for the armed forces. Some of these courses are photography, explosives, electrom- ics, radio elements, and many others essential to the nation's defense.

Basketeers Break Even- Boys' Locker Win Two Games, Lose Two Room Echg Taft's Senior Cagers scored their second consecutive victory, Tues- day, February 3, when they easily downed Waller, 46 to 36. The Jun- ior teum, however, was blitzed by Waller's great five to the tune ol' 65 to 22. Again pacing the senior attack wa: Norman Soderholm, center, who managed to sink seven buckets and three free throws for a total of 17 points. The senior basketeers jumped to an early lead, which they never 1'e- linquished. The half-time score was 25 to 13. ' For Taft's juniors, it was an en- tirely different tale, as they were literally swept off their feet by Waller's fast and accurate sharp shooters, who as yet are undefeated. Jack Berry, Taft guard, was able to penetrate Waller's tight defense three times, thus scoring six points and leading his team in this re- spect. The Eaglites were trailing at the end of the first half by 33 points. The score was 41 to 8. The senior quintet swept to vic tory over the Steinmetz five on the hardwood at Steinmetz, chalking up a score of 36 to 30, January 30. The scoreboard revealed a tally of 38 to 17 in favor of the green and silver in the junior match. Norman Louis Soderholm, the spark in the silver and blue's line-up, led the team with seven buckets and three free throws. Captain Gene Corcoran, Y0tLl'.lll basketeer, played his last game for Taft and played it well. He was close behind Louis with five bas- kets and one free throw. The beginning five for Taft were Charles Gauger and N11-bert Paul- ish, forwardsg Norn1a11 Soderholm. center, and Frank Lakafka anal Gene Corcoran, guards. Starting for the juniors were Henry Anderssohn and Bernard Otolski, forwardsg J. ck Barry. centerg and Ted Bujewski and Art Moinnich at the guard positions. Senn smashed Taft ill the basket- lall games at Taft January 26. The senior score was 39 to 18 and at thx,- final whistle the junior score was 29 to 16. The senior starting five for the silver and blue were the same as in the Steinmetz game. The junior lineup consisted of Hank Anderssohn and Bernard Otolski at forward, with James Craig in the ce11ter position. Ted Bujewski and Lee Smith started as guards. The Taft quintets were sczxlped by the Lane Indians 39 to 18 in the senior battle and 38 to 15 in the junior struggle on January 20. In the senior game, Bob Hood was high point man. The starting lineup was as follows: Gauger and Paulish, forwards: Soderholm, cen- terg Lakafka and Corcoran, guards.

It seems his division teacher forgot he was a member of the Eagle five and gave him first to the tenth inclusive. This would not give him time to practice before games. With watering eyes he went to his teacher and sobbed out his story. Miss June Carleton, so impressed by his sincerity, gave him a shorter program.

Mr. Kenneth Osbon is bearing up remarkably well under the strain of building a new home. Work was started last August 2 and at the present he hopes to he able to take up his residence at Osbon Manners by next August 2. 4A's Hold Meeting In preparation for ,gnaduation, all the 4A's met in room 304 to fill out applications for the Illinois State Employment Service and also to make arrangements for College day, February 17 and 18.

Auditorium Transformed During the first two weeks of March the auditorium stage will be closed while Mr. Ernest Blaar will be making new back drops for the stage. The Taft Alumni Association will not in any way be outdone by Taft students, They are therefore con- templating issuing a newspaper to their members twice yearly. The name of this newspaper will be the 'I'aft Alllllllli Ne1rs. Land of Freeand Home of Bravev , 'W xx! If F . '1 fL,- X' v f 1-1- 1 ,..,.1-1 ii Our country needs you! Everyone must do his part in aiding the war effort to make this world a place where the rights of man are respected. Uncle Sam demands that we stand behind the president and the armed forces in doing our share to protect the flag. The honor of fighting for the country will be extended to a relative few. But that doesn't release any of the burden from our shoulders. Starting with knitting, the girls are blazing the trail on the Home Front, setting a goal for the boys to strive to equal. What can the boys do? They can make themselves physically fit so that when they do go to the armed forces they will be in condition. Taft's sport program offers ample opportunity to train both the body and mind by working with others. Remember team work is what makes an army. Learn now to take and carry out orders for tomorrow that may save your life, Get as much education as possible. The country will need leaders to form a new life when there are bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover. Continue in school! A mechanic is of more use to the army than an untrained man. College trained personnel make the best officers. By going to school and getting the most out ot' opportunities you do your part in defending the ramparts of democracy.

Clowning on skates and barrel jumping will he featured as pair figure skating cuts the ice. Taft's city championship skating team will be on the rink showing the stuff that made them the best in the school system. The addition of Fresinger, United States olympic representative and holder of many international med- als, will lend an extra portion of flash and color. Tickets will sell at eleven cents and will be a valid excuse from class if presented and signed by the class teacher a day in advance. Performances will bp held the fourth and ninth periods. ln a free for all race, the mem- bers of the team will put forth all thier speed. To the victor, will go the spoils, in this case a new pair of skates.

H.johnson Meet the funzor Girls, Taft Sends Message To Young America In the axis nations many years are spent training young people to die for their country. While all men and women must be willing to make this supreme sacrifice, we, in America, are more concerned with training young people to live the kind of lives that will build a strong, incorruptible, prosperous, and happy nation for all. Our America is not only worth dying for, it is worth hard living, self-sacrifice, honesty, and un- selfishness. A great nation does not become great by its citizens sitting back and taking all the good things they can get and letting some one else shoulder the duties and respon- sibilities. The men and women who are responsible for the greatness of this land today were not softies. They paid the price we must all be willing to to pay for freedom. Hard- ships were their regular fare. This is true of ct-ery 'man and w0mtm who has made any worthwhile con- tribution to this na.tion's greatness. Remember this when you are in- convenienced by some little thing in your everyday life-remember it when you are called upon for greater sacrifices. Dr. William H. Johnson. Red Cross to Aid In Book Campaign For Soldiers and Sailors What can I do to help my coun- try besides buying defense bonds and stamps? This problem con- fronts many students, anxious to do their part in this great conflict. The Red Cross, an organization ex- isting since the last World War. has aided wounded soldiers, home- less people, and provided shelter t'or orphans and aged. Its main pur- pose right now is to give all the help it can to the suffering people in this war. Taft has made donations of both clothing: and money, but now the Red Criss asks you to give again. This time you are requested to give books for the reading enjoyment of sailors, soldiers. and marines. Any type of book will be accept- ed, although history, biographies, books on aviation, and modern nov- els are preferred. Do not just pass on delapidated, 1850 love stories or old text books.

He looks as though he's in an awful hurry! He's the fellow who swerves in and out among the boys and girls between periods in an effort to get to his class on time. He just doesn't realize that he may be endangering someone by rushing through the halls. He'd get there in plenty of time and would be less dangerous if he would keep to the right of the hall. Watch that sophomore! She's rushing to meet her best girl friend. If she could only reach her in time, she might be able to copy her home- work during the next study. There she goes. Running through the halls, not caring whose books those were she bumped and caused to fall. What if she did do that? They've got more time than she, and anyhow her homework's more important. Tell her to keep to the right. Home- work lsn't going to replace the damage done to her victim's books. Ah, a junior. He's beginning to think he's somebody. Notice how he dashes around that corner. Whoops! That's his chemistry teacher. Oh, oh! Looks pretty bad for him. He is getting what he deserved because he was careless when he didn't keep to the right. Wow, some senior! Do you think she'd have just a second or two to spare before she goes to civics? After all, a certain boy is in the class, and her nose looks just a little too shiny. With that dance coming where would she stand if she didn't look perfect? The bell's ringing. Just a bit more on the forehead, and those lips could stand a little, It seems as if she lsn't the only one late. Neither looks where he's going. Tough luck. A civics notebook scattered over the third floor. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, you're all guilty! Make our halls a safer place to travel by bearing in mind these words: Keep to the right. Eleanor Krallfilc, 4A. Who 's Seen the Body? It was quiet. Well, at least as quiet as the lunchroom could be! But then the silence was broken. A terrible spine-chilling scream filled that large room. Chairs were quickly pushed back from the scene of the crime and other curious people stood on the tables to see what the commotion was about. A thin, sticky substance was all over the floor, table, and four chairs. What was it? Well, it seems that one of those lunchroom pranksters wanted to put eight people at one table in terrible agony. So what did he do? He put a luscious piece of candy in a newly opened bottle of root beer. The result? Well you know! If you eat in the Taft lunchroom how could you help but know? Day after day the same scene takes place, and nothing is done about it. It's up to the students to make the lunchroom a place of enjoyment, not a playground for roughnecks. Marion Gerkin, 3A.

No doubt you have, and you as well as countless others, have probably suffered untold mental agony. The young ladies of today seem to think that tripping over a neck- lace, composed of various hot-house vegetables or any articles of trash that may be found, is the most popular fad. This may be so, but it would be of great assistance to the superior sex if these abominable creations would be annihilated. Ranking second only to the afore-mentioned necklaces, are the woolen and cotton objects, common- ly known as sweaters. From all ap- pearances, the fairer sex seems to wear sweaters that fit one of her much larger companions, rather than herself. Preposturous color combinations appear to be inexhaustible, probab- ly indistinct and definitely indis- criminate, as is every article of clothing worn by the fairest of se- noritas at Taft. If you wonder what some of the fellows think about this subject, you may read a few of the numer- ous opinions stated when they were asked, Generally speaking, what do you think of the wearing appa- rel of the average girl? George Peterson, 3A, said that he would make no statement due to the con- flicts that would arise, while John Pederson, 4A, and George Knight, SA, consider the feminine wearing apparel as sloppy but interesting. Hillard Kulik, 3A, and Wayne Klebe, 4A, have no objections what- ever, and Richard Paragini, 4A, de- mands more dresses and fewer sweaters and skirts. The Eagle Squa wks All the pictures in the art rooms seem to be going to waste, The school in general never has a chance to really appreciate ,these works of art. It's very seldom that a passerby chances to steal a shy glance through the closed doors to admire them. It would be a novel and different idea to decorate the lunchroom with the paintings and drawings. People should have pleasant sur- roundings while eating, and this would really fill the bill.

Indeed, it does one's heart good to see the way the campus cuties have taken to knitting. Their bot- tomless purses are stuffed with balls of yarn, instruction sheets, that only the cleverest spy could decipher, and long, fearsome needles which double for weapons when the owner encounters the Ulunchroom crush. Tearfully Yours It brihgs a tear to one's eye to watch these industrious lassics work during class, nobly sacrific- ing the enjoyment of listening to the teacher, in order to make every minute count. Well, say the teachers patrioticaly, it's for a worthy cause. But wait! Wipe away that tear, Theres a Jap in the woodpile somewhere. Is that gay little stock- ing-cap with the yard-long tail go- ing to perch on a s0ldier's noggin? Are those pale blue angora mittens destined to swab the decks ? This reporter fears that very few of Taft's girls have yet done a man- sized job. Dot, Dot, Dot. Dash. Every Bits Helps But undoubtedly by this time we are all dutifully hoarding our emp- ty tooth-paste tubes, and using less sugar on our grapefruit. Legs are coming into their own again now that we leave the car home to gloat over its precious rubber tires. We are all stamp collectors once more, but this time our hobby holds a new interest. Each stamp adds to the pride that comes from knowing that we are taking an active part in the victory campaign. Signs of the Times How do you know the-re's a war going on if you're so busy doing homework that you don't have time to read the paper? It's easy. You knfw somethings up when your orbs catch a glimmer of Lorraine Risavy's V . . . - buttons. The suspicion becomes more apparent when you gaze on that breezy pair of sailors that decorate Charlotte Henrikson's sweater, Alia, espion- age! yru exc'aim when you spy the signatures of Charlotte's enlist- ed friends all over the leather gobs. Hm-m-m, maybe things are far- ther along than I ever guessed, you think when you see Shirley Korman wearing a black-out bracelet. This trinket contains her identification, including phone number. Handy, no? Although these and many other hints can be found around Taft, there is one thing that oversha- dows all else with its significance. When french fries raise in price from five to six cents you know that a state of emergenf-v exists!

The faculty and students of the Tait high school wish to express their deepest sympathy to Mrs. Adelaide Holterhoff over the death of her six cmd one-half year old son, Iohnny. who died on February 18, 1942. at St. Elizabeth's Hospital alter cr brief illness. Mrs. Holterhoif is sponsor of the Clean Up Cum- pcxign, and has taught English at Taft since 1940. The Boy of the Month Because of his scholastic stand- ing and athletic achievements, Ray- mond Frosty Zjawinski, 4A, was chosen by Prin. L. A. Hoefer as the February boy of the month. Since his first semester, Ray has upheld an averrge of E in all subjects. Frosty is also an active member of the Senior Boys' club and the Taft letterman's club, Ray's favorite sport is football. He started his career at Fenwick high with the freshie-soph team during his first year. Schurz then claimed him for their varsity squad. When in 3B, he transferred to Taft where he reached the peak ot his career as left guard. In 1940 he played the complete season with a. broken hand and in 1941 was voted as the gridders most valuable play- er. A large variety of pastimes and likes have been a by-word in Ray's standard of living. For six years his favorite hobby has been col- lecting the sport sections of various Sunday newspapers: the most valued in his collection are sum- maries of College All-Star games. Raymond Zjawinski History and math are tops in his list of favorite subjects. When asked what his favorite dishes are, he replied wistfully Chop suey and brunettes, The Tribune Presents Mr. Ruben This might be called A Report on an Amazing Personagef' for Mr. Irving Ruben, bookkeeping instruc- tor, bookroom manager, public ac- countant, fencing master, and gen- eral philosopher, is a man of va- ried and interesting personalities. To his bookkeeping classes he pre- sents the facts and figures of the trade in a patient, assured man- nerg providing assorted candies to relieve tl1e tension when debits and credits won't balance. To the hurried teachers seeking volumes of learning for their eager ly waiting classes, he presents thn required number of books. The fencing class is given ex pert instruction in the use of the foil, epee. and sabre, for Mr, lluber is proficient in handling these duel ing weapons. It is Mr. Ruben's statement tha' he pursued all sports after a fash ion at his alma mater, Northwes tern University. He won, along with various fencing champion ships, his B.S. in Commerce ant M.S. in Education, which enabler him to begin teaching in his home city, Chicago. Harriet, a newly acquired daugh ter, represents his height of ambi tion. College plans are already made: a. few years are needed however, in which to prepare Har rict for her higher education. Pro koffief and Tschaikowsky hold 2 deep fascination for Mr. Ruben'f musical self, which flourishes or Russian compositions. Detective story fanciers will find a kindred spirit in him, for he reads them voraciously. Messrs. Hitler, Mussolini, Hirio- hito, their American representa- tives, modern novels, and jitterbug dancing are disagreeable to him although hc admitted liking Rink- tam Ditty.' When asked how this is danced, he replied, You do not dance it. you eat it, and ruefully, 'fthe dancing begins-inside. Page 14 Taft Tribune February 27, 1941 Extemporaneous Extractions Thus Be Their Destiny By Don Sinnen By a. trickling stream in a tumbled- down shack, There lived a poor man by the name of Jack. All the folks liked him, and he liked them, For his spirit was like a magnetic gem. Though he was poor, not a thing did he lack, For that smile meant a fortune to this man named Jack. In a beautiful mansion on Cap- tain's Hill. There lived a rich man by the name of Will. Not a friend had he, this miserable miser, For he was rich, and was none the wiser. He counted his gold as a man of will! His face alone was fit to kill. Now Jack was kind, and Will was mean, Where Jack had knowledge, Will was green. Where Jack had help, friends by the dozens, This Will had money-seeking cousins. Though money to greedy Will meant all, A smile to Jack seemed the thing to call. Now Jack went first to the Prom- ised Land, For he was quick to lend a handy And Will climbed next the golden stairs, 'Cause he was forced by his lowly heirs. To Jack a home from Ol' Saint Pete, Built with Jack's own actions, kind and sweet. When Will climbed up to the stud- ded throne, He asked for his house that he came to own. He saw Jack's house shining with tlglimyll And he thought of the house that belonged to him. He found it one day- a hole in the wall, For the few bricks he furnished were nothing at all. 1 A Nut Shop Romance By Curtis Johnson This saga ls the heart rendlng romance of an elderly maiden lady and her young suitor, who met only to be separated again by a cruel fate, ln the form of the young lad's guardian. Emerging from a confectionery and nut shop in downtown Chicago. the elderly woman was attracted by a singular-looking young person who appeared to be having some difficulty with his companion. Her glance was first drawn to him be- cause of his rather aquiline nose and his gray epidermis and hair, peculiar in a person of his age. The aromatic odors wafting from the store proved too tempting to his delicate nostrils, and despite his companion's restraining efforts, he proceeded toward the enticing delicacies to be found in the shop. Sensing his dilemma, the lady prof- ferred to him some of the tasty tidbits she had acquired therein. His liquid brown eyes shining with devotion, our hero displayed his gratitude by dispositing a dewey kiss upon our heroine's brow. The 1ad's escort, not sensing the ecstasy of the moment, rudely in- terrupted this show of affection by pulling his protege aside with the aid of a barbed pole. However, the lover's placid countenance gave no evidence of physical stress, for this was not the first time his tough hide had been so mistreated. Thus was a young romance nip- ped in the bud, for little did the keeper realize that even a living advertisement of Dumbo can have emotions. As for the lady, the novelty of being kissed by an elephant will long be remembered, Such an event takes place but once in a life time. Artists Display Talent by Making Posters Art students of Taft are doing their bit for national defense by making posters urging every one to buy defense stamps. These posters are to be sent downtown where the best ones will be chosen for exhibi- tion. An art contest sponsored by the National Scholastic magazine and a downtown department store will have the following entries from Taft: Shirlee Jasper, Inez Niehaus, Herman Sommers, John O'Grady, Bob Clarke, Bill Schneider, Bob McGrath, Henry Anderssohn, and Veronica DuBorse, poster and draw- ings, and Stanley. Logan and Frank Demski, photography. The winning pictures from Chi- cago will be sent to Pittsburgh where a final judging will select national champions. Exchange Editor Scans Foreign School Newspapers For Odd Tidbits Jones girls have enlisted in the cause of national defense. To help the men in service enjoy their lei- sure time, they are doing their bit to make out-of-town boys welcome in Chicago. The service men's cen- ter is at 176 West Washington street, and membership in the club gives the girls a chance to come in direct contact with America's war- rlors. Amundsen's Coach Jorndt tells of the latest insult his team received as a result of the Schurz game. It was a box of those energy giving flakes, Wheaties. With it came a. note reading, Feed this to the boys! Lord knows they need it. Students of Proviso high were drilled for an air raid a few weeks ago. At the sound of the sirens 112 homerooms filed to their appointed places of refuge. Abraham ILincoln's double, Guy Green, spoke to students of Spring- field high school February 2. His striking resemblance to Abe Lin- coln has made him known to many people in Illinois. Drum and Bugle corps of Tilden Tech, organized in September, 1938, has recently been complimented by being chosen one of the city's best. Besides being a major league player, Irwin Dusek, '37 graduate of Farragut high, has been offered a position on the Chicago Bruins professional basketball team of the National basketball league. Raid Instructions For Civilian Use 1, Take advantage of opportuni- ties afforded you when the air raid sirens sound the attack or black- out. Cal If in a bakery, grab a pie. tbl If in a tavern, grab a beer. ici If in a movie, grab a blonde. 2. If you find an unexploded bomb, pick it up and shake it. May- be the firing pin is stuck. 3. If an incendiary bomb is found burning in a building, throw gaso- line on it. You can't put it out, and so you might as well have a little fun. 4. When the first bomb falls, hol- ler bloody murder, It will scare heck out of the kids. 5. It's well to have onion or lim- berger handy as a snack before en- tering a crowded air-raid shelter. It may make you unpopular, but you'll have lots more room for yourself. 6. If you should be the victim of a direct hit, don't goto pieces. Just be still, the Sanitation Squad will take care of you. 7. Wardens always save the best seats for themselves, so in order to avoid the rush, come early. Clubs O To New Start For Defense Taft Beta Tri-Hi-Y installed 22 new members at their February 1' meeting. Candles, and a song by Mildred Idle completed the cere mony. Induction of new officers preceeded the installation. The Alpha chapter held its for mal initiation February 10, instal ling nine new members. During the long a. m. divisioi Thursday, February 19, the Junioi Girls announced their forthcoming tea to welcome the 3B's into tht club. Also revealed were the plan: for the Red C1'oss, and the newlj elected officers were introduced. Girls who wish to serve on any o the committees for the tea, Marcl 17, should get in touch with Mar jorie Crockett, president. Red Crossers Knitting Enough wool was sent from thi Red Cross for twenty sweaters.

This is expecte to cover the cost of the tea an other activities. Council Very Active The Student Council is on its toe again. The main objectives fo semester, quoted Mr. R. Millei sponsor, are Defense Activitie and improvements in the luncl room. 4 On the last day of school befor the Christmas vacation the studer Council sponsored another fre admission dancen in the boys' an girls' gyms. Both gyms were colo fully decorated. Entertainmen consisting of a square dance, wa furnished. Due to program changes some c ficers of the Girls' Chorus haw been changed. The former vic president, Mary Boarini, is beii replaced by Carmelita Laroccl Lillian Wahlquist's duties as secl tary are being taken over bv Je nette Kane. At a meeting held in the Nc wood Pa1'k field house Wednesda February 25, the new officers f this semester were elected by tl Senior Girls' club. J 1 ' February 27, 1942 Taft Tribune Remember Your Healthg Take Phys. Ed. It must be made known, in- forms Mrs. Margaret Walker, head of the girls' gym department. that physical education is not a subject, but a way of living. Today because of the military emergency, the physical develop- ment of our people is receiving special attention. Physical educa- tion is expected to promote the development of youth for potential service to their country. .Such an emphasis in times of national cris- is, however, should not obscure the contributions that physical education makes to normal living. Certainly now, says Mr. Joe Kupcinet, football coach, we should develope our energy for tl1e more vigorous a11d strenuous life. Replacing work formerly done by man by machines has a tenden- cy to soften the present day so- ciety. Today I am a Man Big-muscle activity is essential to biological growth, The results of physical activity on the vital or- gans of the body are acknowledged by the medical world. Exercise is the best known means for such im- provement. A great improvement can be at- tained by a person who has been injured or who has any defects that can be remedied, says Mr. Jack Rapper, basketball coach, if he seeks correction through exer- else. 7 He not only develops speed, strength, skill, and endurance, but he also acquires good health ha- bits. Thus in emergencies the individ- ual endowed with health is better able to meet the demands upon him. Physical education also assists in the development of sound mental health. The student experiences self-expression: he knows the joy and elation of activity for its own sake: his mind is focused outside himself: and the contact with other individuals helps him in learning to cooperate with his fel- low team mates. Added to this the student developes confidence and leadership. Phy. Ed. Aids Citizenship We see physical education con- tributing to the development of good citizenship, says Mrs. Wal- ker, as all other school subjects share in this responsibility. Be- havior is stronglyginfluenced by activity in which habits are formed, emotions controlled. self- expression and creative endeavor encouraged. Mr, Kupcinet adds to this by saying, Physical education or sports pursued as a hobby make a worthy use of leisure time, not as Goofers Gum Up Worksg Taftites Heed Air Raid Precautions During Practice Drill When you hear the regular cor- ridor lrell ring six times, do not merely'shake your head in disgust and say Mooney missing with the bells again! This time the alarm is reolly a warning, signalling you to prepare for an air raid drill. The entire third floor, and the girls and boys' gyms will be evac- uated, Students occupying the gym will line up in the south corridor on the second floor. Rooms 312 to 321 will move to the second floor corridors, north of the central stairway, and as fast as necessary. Rooms 307 to 311 will proceed to the first floor as far south and east as room 121. Rooms 301, 305, 306 and they lunchroom will descend to the main floor of the auditorium, under' the lwalcony. Students in all of the re- citation rooms on the first and second floors move to the half of the room away from the window. These drills, which may come at any time, will further prepare you to face an unexpected air raid which might easily occur. In this manner, the protection and safe- guard of the student is insured as much as possible. Helpless masses, because of inadequate knowledge of self-protection and sensible conduct in emergency, have been unnessar- ily slaughtered by ruthless bomb- ing. The Chicago area is an extremely attractive target for Axis bombers. Besides being the railroad center of the United States. our city is the home of many defense factories and steel mills. Chicago is also the food mart and communications center of the middle west. These are but a few of the numerous reasons why it will probably be among the first subjected to attack, Although many believe it is im- possible to reach this area by air, the new Axis planes, with a range of 5,000 miles, could disprove their beliefs abruptly. a vacuum-filling device, but an ac- tivity over which one may be very enthusiastic and from which a great deal of pleasure may be de- rived. Sports furnish a laboratory ex- perience in which an athletic con- test helps prepare for the emo- tional crisis of life with its hope, its elations of victory, and its dis- appointment in defeat. Physical education embodies a certain amount of intellectual content be- cause of its application to life situations. It gives a certain amount of academic knowledge as source material for reflective thinking. Students Plan For Life Work Reflecting the growing awareness of intellectual preparedness for na- tional defense, students have en- rolled at Wright City College in numbers above all pre-registration estimates, On the first day of the semester, 500 freshmen reported for the en- trance examination. The upper classmen also returned in large numbers, when it was feared by many that the armed forces and the war industries would claim many of them. One very surprising phenomenon was the return of numbers of ex-Wright students who now plan to complete their course for graduation. The college has inaugurated ap- proximately 50 non-credit defense courses, one of which each student registers for. These courses -are designed to prepare college men and women for active participation in the na- tion's gigantic war Victory effort. Completion of these courses quali- fies the students to step into many highly-paid, responsible positions in civil defense and government: Page 15 Ten Easy Lessons On How to Save Car and Dough No longer does the old car have to have a push to get it started. It wouldn't start even if it were pushed. It doesn't freeze up any- more either, there is no more water in it. There is no need to get out and get under when it stops. How can it stop when the contraption never started? Besides there is nothing under the hood anymore since the motor was sold for scrap iron. Last but not least, the tires never have to be inflated, There has been no tires on the heap since the Japs started to commit suicide. The modern lad now-a-days buys himself a good pair of shoes to take him around. There will be no more spending money for petrol, no more licenses, and no more tickets for parking. The girls too are thankful for the absence of the automobile. They can spend the money that the fel- lows sa.ve by not having a car. others are prepared for ratings, rank, and specialists' pay scales in the armed forces. - Do You Dance? . . .

Talks Given by G. A. A. Our G. A. A., short talks telling what the G. A, A. stands for and how to earn points, were given by Marilyn Izard. Lois Meltzer. 3A's, and Lois Duty. 3B. Poor Clemen- tine, a playlet, was given by Pat tlildisonj Dolan. Pat tNorwoodl Dolan, Elaine Von Ehren, Evelyn Stanke, Betty Zurn, and Annette Krnto, all seniors.

Taft's Mermen Defeat Kelvyng Bow to Main The legendary significance of Friday 13, meant nothing to Taft senior tankers. The waterboys scored 38 points to Kelvyn Park's 26, for their first victory of the spring semester. As is the usual custom, Richard Norlie was high point man, piling up eight points. No1'lie took first in the 40-yard free style swim, and second in the 100-yard breast- strcke. Others who took first place were Frank Bostwick, senior 100, Lee Millner, 100 back, and Bon Johnson, 220 free style. Taft's junior tankers bowed to Kelvyn to the tune of 23 to 30. The outstanding events was the 100- yard free style with Carl Read plac- ing first. Firsts were also taken by Paul Pederson and Robert Mich- les. In the 40-yard free style Gre- gory Kase took a third. V for victory was the motto of the Taft Mermen, Wednesday Feb- ruary 17. Their ambition suffered a submerging, 21 to 24, at the hands of the Main Township high school team, in Taft's pool. The senior tankers started with a. bang due to the efforts of Rich- ord Norlie, who took first place in the 40-yard free style. Norlie re- turned in the next senior event and copped first in the 100-yard breast stroke. Veterans Frank Bostwick and Lee Millner tried hard to win for their Alma Mater, but could do no better than second in their events, Bostwick swam even with his opponent in the 100-yard free Cagers Lose 2 - Soderholm T op Taft's senior cagers bowed to Von Steuben Friday, February 13, 42 to 22, despite Norman Soder- holm's scoring efforts. The juniors also fell to Von Steuben's strong quintet, 44 to 24. Our seniors gave Von Steuben plenty to think about in the close- ly contested half which ended with the visitors on top, 22 to 18, but the second half saw Von Steuben continue their scoring as before, while the Eagles scored but two baskets. Norman Soderholm again bright- ened the day by leading both teams in scoring with five baskets and two free throws for a total of 14 points. Ta.ft's starting line-up was as fol- lows: Chuck Gauger, Wes Parker, forwardsg Norman Soderholm, een- terg Frank Lakofka and Del towski, guards. Taft's junior starting lineup was and Ko- as follows: Hank Anderssohn Jack Berry, forwards: Ted Bujew- ski, center: and Art Monnich and Lee Smith, guards, style, but was nosed out by .5 of a. second. Milner jumped to an early lead in the 100-yard backstroke but he too was beaten by a small mar- gin. The junior team also suffered a defeat of 30 to 24. The junior at- tack was led by Carl Read in the 100-yard free style, and Paul Peter- son in the 40-yard breast stroke. Boys' Locker Room Echo By Richard Parigini Edward Etz Thompson, 4B, walked from the Von Steuben-Taft basketball game in a daze. The rea- son? He had just sunk his first bas- ket. We're all proud of you Thomp- son, keep it up and maybe we will win sometime. Leonard Swede Anderson, 3A, can be seen beaming all over most any time and for a very good rea- son too! His engagement to Lor- raine Peterson has been announced. Leonard is a star guard on the Taft football team. Buddies Get Together Saturday the football players, better known as the Buddies,'l had one of their many get-togethers -- a sleigh ride with their best girls. .lim Srednicki, 3A, said quote, 'sleigh rides are not what they used to be'. unquote What does he mean? Well, ask any of the Bud- dies. Coach Joe Kupcinet can be very proud of one of his star guards, Jim Concannon, better known as Tin-Cannon. Outside of shining on the gridiron he also shines in the class room. He received all S's last semester. Basket ball Shrunk The junior basketball team after losing another game to Von Steu- ben has been seriously considering enlarging the basket or having the ball made smaller. The senior basketball team is very proud that they have won two games to the junior's one game. The juniors are trying, but they just don't -seem to click, They have a. bunch of swell fellows who love the game, but they don't seem to put their hearts into the game. The seniors are all right -- but they should have more point men like Norman Louie Soderholm. Taft cagers valiantly fought the Amundsen quintet, Thursday 19, but were subdued in the final min- utes of the game, 38 to 37 with Nor- man Soderholm, again the high point man, scoring 15 points. A,mundsen's quintet led at the half, 12 to 13. At no time during the game did either team lead by more than three points. The starting line-up for Tafts' senior team was: Thompson and Parker, forwards, Sotlerholm, cen- ter. Kotowski and Gauger, guards. The junior team led Amundsen through the entire game, until the last 45 seconds when Amundsen scored 4 points, ringing down the curtain at 41 to 38. The starting line-up for the jun- ior team was Anderssohn and Ber- ry. forwards.

Smuanl 'X I Sure'n Faith You're As Pretty As a Picture Musicians Tune Up For Concert Next Month In presenting their third Annual Spring Concert, Thursday, April 9. Tat't's music department will fea- ture its S winners in the recent city solo contest. Also included on the program are the mixed and girls' choruses under the dlI'6Ctl0ll of Mrs. Ruth Lino, the Symphony orchestra, and the Concert and Be- ginners' bands, conducted by Mr. John Rapier. Because of the gradual improve- ment in the efforts of the group and tndlvidualists having a firmer grasp of fundamentals, Mr. John Raptor avers, this is going to be the best concert yet put on. Adding to the patriotic sense of the program, the band will play Any Bonds Today. This was made possible through the kindness of Dr. Helen Howe, Director of Music, who sent Taft complete band and orchestra arrangements. The sponsor of this program, the Taft Parent-Teacher Association, is using this event as a means for donating to the Taft music depart- ment the much needed instruments and sheet music. At previous concerts from two to three hundred people were turned away. Get your tickets now. They will not be sold at the door. A complete program and also pic- tures of the S winners who will solo, will appear in the next edition of the Trib. Town Meeting ,' ow Held at Taft Taft Keeps Fit For Defense In Tom's Barber Shop, or in the Waldorf Astoria, in Tony's Spag- hetti Emporium, or at the Edge- water Beach Hotel, everyone is asking what he can do for the Na- tional Defense program. Taft too, has asked what it can do, and the answer to this question has been received. Taft will be the first public high school in Chicago to begin the Keep Fit For Defense program. In view of the fact that Taft now has three full time physical educa- tion instructors, this extensive pro- gram, involving a great amount of statistics, is now under way. It has been necessary to reassign the responsibilities in order that no undue overload is given to one instructor. 4 Teams Rearranged To eliminate this over-load, Mr. Miller will have regular classes and coach the track team, Mr. Kup- cinet, classes and spring football, Mr. Rapper, classes and baseball. Who will take over the tennis and golf teams, will be decided at a later date. Mr. Kupcinet, will serve as a Board of Control member. Mr. H. S. Miller, is in complete charge of the Keep Fit For De- fense program and statistics in- volved tor an objective study. The purpose of the program is to place the first cardinal prin- ciple of education, namely Health on a principle basis. The primary responsibility for conducting this program and providing the neces- sary guidance for students who re- quire it should be vested in one capable individual. This program, will begin with the 1B classes and will continue until their gradua- tion. Complete Check-up The director of this program must do the following: 1. He shall inspect the physical condition of each entering student. 2. He shall accurately record the results of the inspection. 3. He shall prescribe a program of activities to meet the physical make-up of the individual. 4. He shall recommend correc- Special News Bulletin. T. A. P.

The Bell and Howell Sound Com- pany is going to install one ot their best public address systems at Taft. The P.-B. may be considered tx Superman among its kind. A microphone, cr sound movie picture proiector, a phonograph, and a radio may all be connected together to create cr conglomercxtion of unintel- ligible noise but don't worry. Mr. Osbon will have everything syn- chronized and well under control. Seniors Splurge- Get Rings, Pictures, Caps, Gowns Soon Senior Activities are finally be ginning to take shape announces Miss Jane Carleton, senior conn- seler, after several meetings with the nominating committee. Some dates have definitely been set and some are only tentative. Class jewelry will be be available on March 16 during 5th and 6th, 7th and 8th periods only for those who have already ordered it. Addi- tional orders will also be taken at this time. As far as we know now, adds Miss Carleton, sittings for senior photographs will begin about March 17 because some photographers sup- plies will probably soon be on the priorities list. If orders for large pictures are placed, the picture for the Taft Trib will be free, other- wise the fee is 51.00. Measurements for caps and gowns will be taken April 2. All 4A's will be measured whether they are sure of graduation or not. Probably the most important date and place of all has definitely been decided upon.

The new nlemb r of the school family has been christelled the Town Meeting of Taft club. Membership will be open to anyone wishing to take an active port in the discussion. Alum- ni hare been extended an invitation and two representatives of this group, Charles Piper, and Dorothy Machel, will take part in the first discussion. Mr. Kenneth Osbon, history and 1-ivics teacher is sponsoring the club. Robert Smith will act as moderator until an election can be held. Subjects for meetings are put in charge of a committee composed of Doris Zonzius, Dorothy Wleklinski, Shirley Kaage and Robert Smith. The first subject is Are the Amer- iran People Preparing Themselves for War? Besides Piper and Ma- chel, Shirley Kaage and Bruce Kel- so also are tentative speakers. Ten meetings are planned, to be held Friday evenings from 7:45 to 9:00, at the Norwood Park field- house. The schedule ls: March 20 and 27: April 3. 17, and 24: May 15, 22, and 29.

Under the new registration law, Mr. Puippo found himself of draft age, and thus had to register. Taft, like our country, finds itself pre- paring for almost anything, and in the event that Mr. Puippo should be called for service, Taft doesn't want the hallguard system com- pletely shelled. Mr. McCuaig is working to make the system a success, and asks that pupil and teacher alike cooperate for their mutual benefit, by con- forming to all rules and regula- tions. And so, with Mr. McCuaig as new H. G. supervisor, his division room has been put into the handS of another man, Mr. Addison Pur- cell. When asked what he thinks about it Mr. Purcell lit up and replied, Why, 305's the best division in the school. I consider myself very fortunate in obtaining such a divi- slon. He continued his happy conver- sation by saylng that he feels that every student in the division ls, or Regional Conference For English Teachers The National Council of Teach- ers of English in cooperation with the local English clubs is holding a local conference at the Stevens Hotel, March 20-21, 1942, on The Role of the Teacher of English in Wartime.

The registration fee of twenty- five cents may be paid to the Eng- lish Club representative in each school, who will be supplied with further information about this meeting. All teachers of English on ele- mentary school, high school, and college level are invited to parti- cipate in this timely conference. is capable of becoming, a first class student. Mr. Purcell continued by saying, In a week or so, we'll probably be leading the school as the best divi- sion room. He's proud of his new division, and added that he'll do his best to live up to the expectations of the students, and be the type of division teacher such a group deserves. Freshies Dumb? ot at Taft- 9 In Honor Soczcty Who said freshies are dumb? There are 91 students at Taft who have proved that this belief is ab- solutely incorrect by gaining entrance into the Honor Society at the tender grade of 1A. They have shown the mighty seniors, the proud juniors, and the noble sophomores that they too, get around. They do not go about brag- ging of their achievements. No, they serenely sit back, looking in- significant, but all the while mak- ing the news. The main bulk of this phenomi- nal group come from Mr. Kenneth Seyller's division. Here lodge 12 of these little wonders. Miss Irma Grosser has charge of 11 smar- ties, Mrs. Helen Scanlon, 10, and Mr. McMurtry and Miss Beulah Ockerby nine each. Of the 91 enrolled, 27 are boys and 64 girls. Four of these students have already earned 27 points which means they have received S in all their subjects. They are: Dorothy Benson, Helen Greshamer, Elizabeth Peterson, and Dirk Tho- lin. Those earning 26 points are Lois Johnson, Elizabeth Marsen, Germain Peterman, Marion Reese, Mary Weise, and Vivian Winkate. In order to become a member of the Honor Society, it is necessary to obtain 18 points each semester until the sixth, when an average of 18 points will suffice. Artists Make Murals Attention Art students! Here's a chance to win laurels and money. A prize of five dollars will be of- fered for the winning mural design on the subject of reading, for room 105. The deadline is April 15. Any subject is acceptable, but it should encourge reading. The libra- ry may be referred to or fictional characters from books suitable for first and second year students may be used. The finished product will be ten feet long by two feet wide. The design must be color and will be judged by Mrs. Ida Goldfein, art teacher, and Miss Janice Fink, Eng- lish teacher. lCon. from page 17, col 37 mendations. 7.

McCue Programs Handicapped As Air Raid Precaution In the event of imminent danger of air raids, Mr. L. A. Hoefer, principal of Taft, has evolved a program of home study for cardiac and orthopedic cases, and for all other students whose physical handicaps might hamper their loco- motion. The adjustment teacher, Miss Grace McCue, is working on the de- tails of outlines and assignments with the class teachers. Each se- mester, handicapped students are programmed on one floor if pos- sible, and Taft is prepared to make further adjustments in plan- ning adequately for the protection and progress of these students in war-time emergencies. Alumni March On to Success From Wright Junior College comes news of former Taftites Glenn Jorian and Mary Hengst. Glenn who has become very active at Wright during the past year now holds responsible positions with the Band, Orchestra and The Sousa Club at the college. Mary is now a member of the Swimming Team and the Band. Alumni who are still around the home port seem quite loyal to the Friday night Social Center dances. Seen there the other night were, Bob Schaefer, Bill Stephens, Pat Peterson, Bill Lessman, Helen Swvanson, Frank Zamatis, Betty Winklehaus, and Peggy Reller. George Crist, February '42 class president, now attending Carthage College, Carthage, Illinois visited his alma mater to make arrange- ments to have the Taft Trib sent to him for the remainder of the semester. Seen around Taft recently were the jolly faces of former Taftltes Bob Holmier, Jack Winton, Dan Novak, Don Henderson, and Howie Behrens. The Taft Alumni Association will hold its induction meeting for the February class of '42 Friday evening, March 20, at the Nor- wood Park Field house. Hurrah For 40'ers Membership in Taft's most exclu- sive club, Not Under '40', is held by six divisions at the present time.

The councll's two main object- ives to be followed out this semes- ter are: first, defense activities and the sale of defense stamps and bonds, and second, the problem of making the lunchroom more plea- sant. The lunchroom committee, head- ed by Vivian Hansen, 3B, is now taking a census of the number of chairs to a table as compared with the number of lunchers, and con- sulting with the faculty and the lunchroom manager, Mrs. Blanche Smith. Phyllis Lange, chairman of the 304 library committee will carry on the good work of the Student Council in the library. One stu- dent in each period is the respon- sible librarian.

I have tried earnestly, stated Director Armstrong, to find some means of personally thanking every one of the volunteer registrars, but my entire staff and I have been working long hours endeavorlng to keep from getting behind on our regular work. Consequently, I must depend on the kind cooperation of the press to get my message of thanks to those who willingly gave up their time on February 16, to do a genuine patriotic service. I am sure they will fully understand the impossibility of sending each one a personal letter which would take valuable time from imperative work and would add extra expense to the war effort. S6000 Scholarship Offered by NP. A.U. So you would like to go to col- lege, but don't think your parents could afford it? Well, here's some- thing that ought to make your ears perk up a bit.

All high school students in the United States are eligible, and papers consisting of not more than 700 words, typewritten or written neatly with pen and ink on one side of the paper, must be handed in on, or before, Pan-American day, April 14. A committee in each high school will choose the two best papers from that school and forward them to the state superintendent of pub- lic instruction. Besides the grand award, a four year university scholarship valued at S6,000, there will be a first state award of fifty dollars and a certifi- cate of award, a second of S25 and a certificate of award, and a third state award of a silver medal.

Defense Dance Held March 17 The Honor Society is sponsoring a Defense Dance which will be held from 2:30 on, March 17. To attend, students must buy a 25c defense stamp, and show lt to Miss Catherine Dempsey who will in turn give the person a pass which can be presented as a ticket of ad- mission. An. added attraction will be the appearance of Uncle Sam and a male quartet consisting of Honor Society members. Other students are urged to cos- tume themselves in the dress of other nations. Music will be furnished by the Top Hatters, the last of whom still attends Taft. The boys have donated their services and the mu- sic in return for the promise that a good sized crowd will attend. Arrangements played by the band are written by Bob Merevick, a member of the group when it was still at Taft. Students with late programs will be excused for part of the dance upon presentation of the stamp to the class teacher. Because of the patriotic nature of the dance, the concession about classes was granted by Principal Hoefer. Wanted - Modern Pzed Pqner Appbf C. U C.

Page 20 Taft Tribune Wake U , Taft! Blood! Sweat! Tears! That's what over two billion people are enduring. Helpless masses are being mercilessly slaughtered by the cruel and mighty jugernaut of war. We all know that tyranny must be oblituated, yet many do not realize that it is up to us to destroy it. Do the-students want to preserve the freedom to which they are ac- customed? In all probability they will answer in the affirmative. Still they are really disinterested and expect to continue their normal way of life. When questioned as to why they are unconcerned about this gigantic crisis, they merely reply, Oh it won't happen here, we've no need to worry. If every one took this isolationist attitude there would be much reason to worry. This line of reasoning was responsible for the inadequate fortification of Guam, Wake and the Philippine Islands. What can be done to arouse their drowsiness? When current events are being discussed, they are bored completely and abhor all recitations. They hope they will not be attacked, but that is as far as their interests go. Maybe a few bombs would stir them into realizing the seriousness of this war. If the students of Taft would read the war bulletins as much as they do the comics and listen to news broadcasts instead of silly serials it is quite certain that they would appreciate the grave in- cident. With this knowledge they would be better prepared to face the im- mediate future, which will contain bitter disappointments. Come on students of Taft! Show your Americanism by participating in all current events discussions. You will benefit and so will your country. Horrors., A Chair Snatclzerfu Hey, bring that chair back seems to be the battle cry these days during the sixth period lunch hour. The average Taftite, after a morning of hard work, awaits the com- fort of a nice seat at a table of friends where he can converse and refresh himself. But upon arriving at his table he finds his chair missing. Walk- ing around the crowded lunchroom looking for a chair, they return to their table empty-handed. Their lunch by this time is as cold as their disposition. They spend the rest of the lunch period standing up or sharing a. seat with a friend, thus inconveniencing both of them. There surely must be some remedy for this situation. More chairs could be placed in the lunchroom and each person assigned to a specific chair, thus avoiding confusion and tumult. But until this problem is solved, come on Taftites, be considerate of others. Remember the Golden Rule. Don't be a chair snatcher.

Do you want the female cuties running after you? Then listen, male Taft- ites, and you shall hear how la femmes at Taft want their men to dress. A recent vote was taken to de- cide which boys at Taft wear the nicest clothes. Try to fill the fol- lowing qualifications and you'll stand tops with your girl. Wear saddle shoes like Kenneth Pederson and George Hankeg get a pair of those yellow corderoy pants that Don Jirka. and Jack Congdon have been displayingg possess a pair of those sloppy galoshes that Boots Mossong has been tripping over all semester, inspire all the girls by owning one of those revers- ibles that Wally Lahey has, and own half a dozen of those rainbow socks that Norman Esserman and Jack Ferguson wear all the time. Definitely get a few of those towel-like shirts that Fizz Janis is never without. A vest like Lee Smith wears would look simply darling over a nice sport shirt like George Hopper owns. Include one of those red pork-pies that Paul Peterson wears on your must list. If you want to make the little wo- man stand up, just exhibit a soft ribbed sweater like Edward Zlnk and Bob Shamburg owng acquire one or two of those long boxy top coats that Charles Kildall and Don Johnson never do without, and to complete this parade of canfpus fashions, buy yourself a great big bow tie like the one Hank Green wears.

The advent of this particular sea- son brings with it my annual purse cleaning fever. This is a time honored custom that I observe only because so much junk Creally, nc other word qualifiesl has accumu lated in it that the poor thing is bursting its seams. One whole eve ning must be set aside for this pro- cess as can be plainly seen by a list of its contents. All This and Heaven Too Upon dumping it out on the table one sees the usual Tom-foolery tc be found in a girl's purse: a comb, compact, change purse, the indis- pensable mirror, several pencils that need sharpening, a fountain pen,-but wait! What's this course book doing here? Well, well, 1 thought I handed that in last month. And since when do I have two library cards? Oh, and here's a song book. What in the world is that doing in a purse? A ruler that is probably a lefty over from my algebra days, a letter that was never mailed, a pocket- dlctionary, several small scribble- books, a broken eversharp, a rub ber-band fhm-m, sabotagell, some hairpins, and an envelope contain ing what was once a string oi pearls, all add their charm to my collection. Relics of My School Daze Turning to a pile of papers that have been separated from the other things, I find a rough sketch tvery roughj that was done in Art 2, a G. A.

March 13, 1942 Taft Tribune Page 21 310353 gu,1'ggigf -thing The Girl of the Month Or a Rocket Ship? Have you ever sat daydreaming in your history class, imagining yourself fightinglthe Indians in the days of pioneers, or pictured your- self as a damsel in distress while a handsome knight came galloping to your rescue? When asked the ques- tion, If you had your choice, in what age would you like to live or have lived? Taftites' answers came thick and fast. Richard Parigini, 4A, said, When the West was wild and men were men, and, he added with a gleam in his eye, and girls were shy. Eleanor Kralik, 4A, answered with a romantic sigh. In the days of King Arthur, when'knights were bold and romance was seasoned with chivalry. The days of Daniel Boone are most appealing to Paul Pederson, 4B, who says that he too would like to explore the wilds of a new land. Merlin Marcy, IA, puts a new slant on the question by stating that he is waiting for the day fwhich he hopes will come soonl when he will have sugar in his cof- fee and tires on his car. Avolon Stepien, 2A, demurely lowered her lashes and replied, In the days when girls wore long dre ses. During the time of old Mexico, where there were fiestas and gaiety, was the answer given by Muriel Huppert, ZA. Miss Cleo Lopate, history prof, declared with a twinkle in her eye, I crave excitement and adventure, so give me the days of the pio- neers. Blanch Tanney, 4A, said that she would like a peek at the prehistoric days to see if the cavemen were any different from those of today. Jim Mein, 2A, thought about the educational angle and replied, In the days of Euclid so that he could give me some first hand informa- tion about some geometry prob- lems. When the musketeers dueled for the hands of their lady loves was the declaration of Dorothy Krue- ger, 4A. Hank Green, 4B, averred, When a fellow could bring a girl home at 3 a. m. in a horse and buggy, and I don't mean a milk wagon. Jean Novak, 2A, shyly decided that the pre-civil war days were best, because of the handsome southern gentlemen. Walter Lahey, 4A, looked into the future with Mars, Saturn, or any other planet just a few minutes from my door, with my 2443 rocket ship. Give me the Buck Rogers era that will no doubt be the' age of romance. fAh me!!J. Sensored A little Taftie wept and cried, 'Cause he was all alone. His heart was filled with jealousy For those of great reknown. Each time the Taft Tribune came out, He read it aft and fore, But still the same old names he'd seen Had made the news once more. One day our hero met a pal, Who said: What's eatin' youse? I've never seen my name in print! That's why I've got the blues. So that's your feeble trouble, kid We'll fix it right away - Just take some paper and a pen And write down what I say. p First your name and year in school, Then a deed in which you shine. Drop this slip in locker 2023, Outside of 209! P. S. In spubmitting articles, you do not have to sign your name, but please include the name and semester of the subject of the ar- tlcle. Have You seen . . . 3B Roy Riis' version of the Conga? Barbara Lawton's red flannels? Bob Miller, 3B, with Jack Cong- don, 2A, on his lap, yelling turn out the lights. 2A Lorraine hair-do? Ralph Greener and Bud Schaibly, 1B's, engaged in one of their lunch- room egg-salad assaults? 4B Laverne top blouse? Bill Encore Avery, 1B dashing home between add periods? 3A Shirley Korman's blackout 01felt's two-tone Freitag's, pajama fingernails? Elaine Thompson's, a 3B, heinie haircut? Did You Know . . . That Miss Newberger's first pe- riod health class stood outside the door waiting for her for twenty minutes, only to discover, upon her arrival, that the door had been open all the time? That Swede Norlie's new colf- fure fwavel is a result of unfail- ing daily attention? The solo requirement for mem- bership in the Red Shoe club ls to own a pair of the aforemen- tioned footgear? See Lucille Nit- sche, 3A for details. That Gerry Schmid and Dor- othy Spotty Benson, 1A's, have invented a code which consists of leaps and bounds and other such queer antics? Meredith Granger is one of those people whose name calls him to mind at once in a vivid picture. She's as modern as next year's dance music, and as clever as she is attractive. She thinks the teachers and kids at Taft are so nice that she doesn't want to leave them-even to graduate. The field of chemical engineering appeals to her, but career plans are not definite. Science and math, bugaboos to most pupils, are her best-liked subjectsg her course book has super-student written all over it. Lots of her time ls spent on sports, especially swimming and dancing. A prize record collection provides music for home practice and fun. She is a member of the Proscenium Players, the Honor So- ciety, the G. A. A., the Latin club, the Senior Gi1'ls' club, and would probably join every club in the school if time allowed. Outside she belongs to the Alpha Tri Hi Y. Meredith knows the facts about current happenings and about his- torical events, as testified by her answers on the program in which Taft's quiz kids participated. She thinks an historical novel ls the best fiction to be read-other novels are dry, If, next year, you see a stray Granger wandering disconsolately around our sheltered halls, don't be surprised, for it will probably be Meredith returned for a last look. The Tribune Presents Mr. Seyller Mr. Kenneth Seyller, Taft's math. whiz, is the students choice for teacher of this month. He was born in Prophetstown, Illinois, and in the days of his youth 'L' 'il'-attended the elementary and high school in his ev home town. After graduating from high school, off he went to what is now De Kalb state teachers' college. Later he studied at the University of Illinois and Northwestern where he earned a Bachelor of Science and a Masters degree, respectively. Before entering Taft's portals, three years ago, Mr. Seyller was rather a jack-of-all-trades at Roose- velt high school. For eight years, he taught science, history, mathematics, English and bookkeeping and was in charge of the lettermens' club, and coach of f the frosh football team. Mr. Seyller is really quite a congenial fellow as he confesses he has no pet peeves. All sports, especially football interest him greatly and he likes fish- ing and vacations in the north woods most of all. In his home he has a small shop in which he spends his spare time, woodworking. He modestly confesses he has made a few things. Recently, Mr. Seyller acquired a new son, although grown up, when his only daughter married at Christmas. He has two other children, mth boys. Facts and Rumors . . . Miss Jane Carleton, English teacher, confided to her class that she is practically hoarse every morning from mentally deriding the crazy drivers on Touhy Ave- nue. Dick Bergsund and Bill Frey, 2B's, are practically flngerless as a, result of their paper cutting at- tempts in art. Lou Gleason, 2A, has taken to frisking Dick Doebler, 3A, before embarking on a movie date. When Roger Ernst, 3A, failed to bring his much delayed course- book, Miss Allen said, I thought I told you to write a letter to yourself as a reminder. He did, retorted Harold Young, 3A, but he forgot to mail lt. Page 22 Taft Tribune Brig Parade Headed By Paddy OMalley At Shady and Oieary Sure'n it t'was a fine and sunny day in March, but Patrick 0'Malley wasn't feeling fine and sunny! Pat was a. policeman-a typical Irish policeman. He was walking his beat as he had for the last 35 years, but Paddy wasn't happy. This was to be the last time he'd walk down this street with his uniform on, the last time l1e'd pass Joe's Delicates- sen, the last time he'd be stopping at the fire house to kid around with the boys-sure'n it was the last time for everything. Paddy kept asking himself, why it was he who was to be pensioned, why not Duffy or even Dougan. Hadn't he been a good cop all these years? Had he ever lost a day texcept when his grandson cameb, and sure who was it that caught Slippery Sam, the bank robber? Paddy was getting old and he knew it, but he also knew what it'd be like after the pension. But, here he was in the front of Joe's and there was Joe waiting. Anyway, Joe looked happy, he was shouting something. Paddy, he said, have you heard the news? There's to be a big St. Patrick day celebration down on Shady Street. The grandest ever, and it's you who's the guest of honor! Paddy smiled. It was St. Patricks' day on the corner of Shady and O'Leary Streets. Every one was there, even the Mayor. But, where was Paddy? There goes the band and look there's Paddy leading it. The pa- rade is starting and Paddy as proud as could be was leading it. Listen to the crowd cheering him. Paddy was happy, now he didn't care about the pension. What if he wouldn't have his grandson to play with. Why should he care? Wasn't he getting tired of the same old beat? Didn't he think it was time to be settling down? And anyhow, his greatest ambition came true. He was leading the big St. Patrick's day parade. Wanted-More Books For Armed Forces Books, books, everywhere books, but not a book to read, cried the armed forces, and so America's loy- al citizens decided to do something about it and started the Victory Book Campaign. Taft also wanted to do its duty, and so the librarians are offering to see that any books brought to the library will reach the boys at camp. Any type of book will do, but the kinds most appreciated are the up- to-date novels, biographies, avia- tion, radio, adventure, mystery and current affairs volumes. Taft Reporters Hook Celebrities With the thunder of applause still ringing in their ears, the An- drew sisters, Maxine, La Verne and Patty ran from the glitter of the footlights and the blare of the orchestra to their dressing rooms. Your reporters, timidly followed them up the stair case, unaccus- tomed as they were to that sort of thing, and quietly rapped on the door decorated with a star, after climbing over three trunks, two dogs and a milkman. Here they were greeted by the secretary of the girls, who said they would be granted an interview if they could wait just a few min- utes. They waited a few minutes and after 45 had passed, the dear lady came tripping lightly down the stairs. At this point, armed with a round of ammunition, in the form of questions, they fired them at her till she gasped for breath. Thus, they learned that the An- drews sisters. treally Andreos, since their father was Greek, and their mother Norweiganl started out when Patty and Maxine sang duets while La Verne, the eldest, and an accomplished pianist played the accompaniment. When Patty was eleven the three girls started out to sing their way to fame. They were doing pretty well in Kiddie Revues when Larry Rich, a dis- coverer of hidden talent saw them and felt that these three youngstrs were destined to star. Bei Mir Bist Du Sheen, their first record, made the names and voices of girls without musical training fam- iliar in homes throughout the country. They have come a long way since then and have just com- pleted their last record, I'll Pray For You. Before Fate stepped in and changed their minds, Patty's de- sire was to become a nurseg Max- ine, a chemist, and LaVerne, a pianist. La Verne also likes pretty clothes, Maxine, the out-door type, prefers sports, while Patty is happy, just singing. To girls starting out on a sim- ilar career, their advice from ex- perience is to prepare to give' up a lot of good times for rehearsing. Get your name on the Victory Book honor list and wear a red, white, and blue tag to show your loyalty to your country. Help this campaign which is being sponsored by the U. S. O., the American Red Cross, the American Library asso- ciation, and is being conducted in the schools by the Board of Educa- tion with the assistance of the Jun- ior Red Cross and the P. T. A.

A. this semester, s there is a full program planned Jr various groups during the se- Lester. Seniors and freshmen alike are nthusiastic about it. Classes airebeing held the sec- nd period, Thursday, for girls earning to be gym leaders. They re being instructed .in .the funda- mentals of teaching, warming up xcercises, marching, rules of vol- ay ball, and many other useful ints. The stunts club is going full last under the sponsorship of Miss 'reidella Newberger. Third period, 'hursday, is put aside for this ecreational club. Miss Donna McGuire has left the chool on sabbatical leave. She as been replaced by Miss Gladys 'aiscoe, a graduate of Northwestern Inlversity. Miss Pascoe taught for while at Spry School, Chicago. We vish Miss Pascoe good luck. Incidentally Miss Pascoe has a ourth period marathon swimming lass on Mondays. If you want to ee how .far you can swim and have hat period free you are invited to Ollie. Lois Meltzer, 3A, Board of Con- rol member, has made a poster lnnouncing where and when the :oming G. A. A. events will take llace. You can view it either in he girls' locker room or gym. There vill be pictures illustrating the lctivities. Bowlers End inother Season The high school bowling season vill soon reach the end of its jour- ley at Taft, stated Mr. Puippo in ,n exclusive interview this morn- ng. As of March 3, the standings vere as follows: In'the girls' Friday league, the Nheerojubes lead, followed by the Foul Line Fems. In the Thursday eagues the King Pens are led only ly the Alley Rats. The boys' Monday is led by the Spares, with the Lucky Strikes econd. The Big Guns are just a hort distance behind the Mighty Five in the Saturday league.

Leading the girls are Lois lindsay, 1323 Norma Tess, 1295 vlth Mildred Tess and Lois Miller led at 127. Boys and Girls Working Hard As Lifesavers Taftites seem to be water-minded these days. Evidence of this can he seen in the Taft tank at almost any time during the day, where mer- maids and mermen are advancing their skills in the art of life-saving which course is being sponsored by the Junior Red Cross. The junior and senior boys are learning this useful skill during their weekly swimming periods, and the girls during the first and second periods, Tuesday mornings. Coaching the future lifesavers are: Miss Gladys Pascoe, for the girls, Messrs. Kupcinet, Miller and Rapper, coaching the boys. Miss Pascoe is replacing Miss Donna McGuire who is on sabbatical leave. Every boy in the junior and se nior class is enrolled in the life- saving movement. The girls are composed chiefly of freshmen and sophomores. They are: Jean Anderson, Marion Basse, Jean Beers, Lorraine Bixby, Shirley Campbell, Doris Daill, Evelyn Even- sen, Helen Flanagan, Lois Gates, Virginia Hallis, Alice Harrington. Laverne Holt, Phyllis Karp, Jeanne Lahey, Stella Lavryk, Helen Niel- son, Dorothy Nissen, Evelyn Peter- son, Nancy Price, Dorothy Shar- man, Bernice Swanson, Violette Vittman, and Eleanor Wisler. If present plans go, according to schedule, the girls' course will be completed at the end of the six- teenth week of school. The boys will finish sometime near the end of the semester. If the final tests are passed satisfactorily, medals will be awarded. Cagers Defeated Mournfully, at Sullivan high, the Taft cagers rang down the cur- tain on their third season. The Sullivan quintets handed both sen- ior and junior Eaglettes an over- whelming defeat. The seniors scored 25 points to the 49 of Sulli- van. Although scoring only nine points, Norman Soderholm again paced the basketeers as high point man. The senior starting line-up was: Wes Parker and Chuck Gauger, forwardsg Norman Soder- holm, centerg Del Kotowski and Frank Lakofka, guards. Overwhelming competition also handed the juniors a defeat to the tune of 56 to 21. The starting line- up for the junior team was: Jack Berry and Henry Anderssohn, for- wards: Ted Bujewski, centerg and Lee Smith and Art Monnick, guards. During the 1941-'42 season the senior cagers won four games, los- ing 14 for .285 percentage. The junior percentage was .071, win- ning one and losing 14 games. Sports Editor Looks for Better Spirit Among Athletes As Taft is still a young school in comparison with others of Chi- cago, naturally the selection of sports is not as ,wide as that of other schools. One reason may be the number ofnboys in attendance at Taft, and the fact they lack the required enthusiasm for participa- tion in many of these athletic con- tests. The golfers, tennismen, and trackmen of Taft are topnotchers, as they have shown in previous city-wide competition. Good, may be the term applied to the swim- ming team. In each city-meet the tankers have managed to place in at least one event. Eleven men 'fighting on the gridiron have also contributed in making a name for the silver and blue. The baseball and basketball teams seem to lack the above mentioned enthusiasm or spirit. There are still a few high sports that could be added to our list one of 'which is soccer. It is a variety of' football known also as associa- tion football. The game is played with two, nine or eleven man teams on a field from 50 to 100 feet wide and from 100 to 130 feet long. The object of the game is to relay the ball from one end of the field be- tween two goal-posts, eight feet apart at the opposite end fsimilar to scoring in hockeyj. The players can forward the hall only by kick- ing it or hitting with their head or shoulders. Use of the arms and hands is not permitted. Archery is a sporting contest that is popular in many schools. In the event that there is anyone who does not know about archery, be it known that it is the art of shoot- ing with a bow and arrows. The bow is generally made of yew and ash and the best arrows are made from the same materials. The dis- tance to which an arrow can be sent by a good archer is about 200 to 250 yards. The moral to the aforementioned is: Let's have more sports and more team cooperation. Gridmen To Graduate The football season has ended, but the memories will linger on. Graduation is going to claim many of Taft's ace gridmen. Among those leaving our portals are: Har- ry Althamar, Richard Parigini, Ray Zjawinski. Wright Petersen, Mar- vin Isberner, Warren Dritlien, and Boots Mossong. Tragos, Sredniclii, Doebler, Klec- zewski, English, Suvada, Lingen- felder, Daniels, Hildehberg, and Killoren are among those who will be returning. Boys Locker Room Echo By Richard Parigini Warren Berg, 4A, and a member of the Taft senior basketball team, is starting to campaign for the presidency of the Bench Warm- ers' Union. If elected, Warren says he will collect small fees from the members of the different teams from which t.ea and cookies will be served during games. Card playing will also be allowed. Sweet Sixteen, and never been spanked, was what Don Pedler, 3B, and a memler of the Taft eleven should not have said in the lunch- room during the sixth period the other day. It was his birthday and he told his friends about lt. They took him, but gently, and spanked him very vigorously. Don will probably know better next time- he hopes. Girls Lose Again Marvin Isberner, 4A, the Mil- waukee Kid , former Taft football player, does not really have a twelfth period as so many Taftites think. He stays twelve periods just to wait for his new flame, Patsy Berg, 2A. Yes, dear girls, Marvin has finally been hooked. So, Taft has lost another one of its great wolves. Mr. Jack Rapper, Taft's new lease' all coach, announces that baseball practice will start on Mon- day, March 16. All prospects should report on this date in the Boys' Gym. The Taft's skating team, still does not believe that they are go- ing to skate on the stage, in school, on March 12. Boots Mossong, 4A, captain says, I'll be there, but I don't think the ice will. Kendrick Joins Team Paul Kendrick, the Florida Flash, a ZA, and a member of the Taft frosh-soph football team is going to show the boys here a thing or two when he joins the track team. According to him, he was quite a marvel in Florida. 0. K. Paul, we will wait and see. Dick Oberg, Taft's former foot- ball captain, who is in the Marines has volunteered for the Raiders, a new division of the U. S. Marines. Only 500 were accepted from all over the country. His job is one that requires much courage and as we all know, he never lacked that on the gridiron. Wright Peterson, 4A, a. member of the baseball team at Taft, is all worked up about the Japs at- tacking Callfornia. His reason? He's afraid there won't be any baseball this season. Fred L. Parks, a former mem- ber of the Taft basketball team, had his picture in a recent issue of the Daily News as one of the Chi- cago boys in the U. S. Marines. Page 24 Taft Tribune March 13, 194 The Taft Tribune Attends A Social Center Dance Via Plzotographg Are you bashful? Do you have bombardoitis or any such malady? If so there is just one chance left for the saving of your social self. Don't be cr wall flower. Learn to dance! Yes, that's right. Learn to dance! You don't have to learn dancing in a hurry from Arthur Murray. lust follow the tactics of the maiority of Taftites and attend the social-center dances. Is it expensive? Is it difficult? Are the dancers all stuck-up? The above pictures definitely bear witness to the answer in the negative to all these questions. The eagemess with which these dances are looked forward to is shown in the faces of Pat Peterson, Feb. '42: Bill Lessman, Feb. '42: Helen Swan- son, Iune '41: Bob Schaefer, Iune '42, and Frank Zematis as they are snapped in picture one rushing up the stairs to the gym. The expense of the affair is displayed by Bob Passow, digging down deep for his eleven cents while Warren Berg indulges in a hearty laugh. Camera shy Carol Passow turns her back to the camera, while escort, Frank Bostwick, manages to escape cameraman, Al Whitney, completely. Her other friend also shows his bashfulness by turning his face away. Can you have fun? The sheer enioyment on the faces of Iimmie Bryant and Phyllis Dolan. picture three, readily proves this point. The availibility of dancing partners is shown in picture four as the many couples dance out unto the floor. Some claim that perhaps there is not enough romanticism at the affairs. 'I'his doubt is immediately eradicated when one glance is taken at the admiring Frank Zernatis and his partner, lane Iewel, with the ecstacy of the 4 r S 4 E E s moment clearly imprinted upon their faces in picture five. Even though tired after a night filled with fun and excitement, tl! manners typical of gentlemen are displayed by Charles Gauger and Ioh Zima as they help their fair maidens, Barbara and Marjorie Bigler, on wit their coats. The expression on the faces of Bill Bornhof, Hilliard Dura, Doroth Wleklinski, and Mr. Leonard Teuscher were so striking that they iust ha to be displayed to the minority who happened to miss the last dance. Thr the musical notes floating o'er the pictures were devised. The Harp Hop to be held tonight at 7:30 will appeal to the fancy of cl Irishmen. and everyone else who has ever heard of St. Patrick. Besides the regular dancing lessons and general dancing there will b an added feature of a superb floor show. The participants in this sho' will be many of the talented members of Taft. At the time this paper wen to press, a definite program had not been planned, but it was quite sur that there would be dance and vocal soloists, a musical arrangement wit Robert Smith playing the accordion, Walter Keller the bass fiddle, an' Howie Vore the Spanish guitar. There will also be community singing of such currently popular lris songs as Rose O'Day, My Wild Irish Rose. etc. Also planned are grouj dances such as the Virginia Reel, and in general everything to afford N most enioyable time. Including tonight's dance there will be six mor dances this semester. Special ones will be the Harp Hop tonight. a Easter Parade April 10, and Open House. April 17.

Favaro Leaves Taft For Navy Position In the vanguard of Taft teach- ers to answer the call of the na- tion is Mr. Anthony Favaro, shop and history instructor who re- ported to the navy March 23. Mr. Favaro has been with Taft from the start. He ls taking his latest assignment with the same spirit that was shown when he came to Taft where the entire de- partment had to be built up. He enlisted in the navy as an aviation maintenance instructor. A 90 days refreshment course will be given before he is ordered to a base. An enlistment will keep him in the service until six months after the secession of hostilities. Good luck, Mr. Favaro. The school knows you remember Pearl Harbor. .

Sprained Ankle Gives Puippo Handy Elongated Arm Last year it was a break, this year it is a sprain, and next year it might be a false tootl1. These are the words of our un- fortunate friend, Mr. Jol111 Piuppo, biology instructor, who because of ai sprained ankle can be seen hob- bling around Taft's halls with a cane in his hand. Several weeks ago at Edison Park, Mr. Piuppo decided to give his bowlers some practice with the foul man, and so reluctantly climbed to his observing post, which he thought did not appear very substantial. After remaining on the platform for a short time, he felt it giving. I knew that I must either fall with it or jump, he stated, and I knew that if I jumped I would have to land on level floor or risk injury. As can be plainly seen, Mr. Puippo did jump and certainly did not land as he should have, but with one foot in the gutter. Thus, the sprained ankle.

Well, almost sound, she ran into a windstorm. Edna described the ride as being rough, It was the same feeling as riding in an elevator, she said.

Parigini Valentino, And Idle Succeed to Other Class Ojices At last! Taft's worthy and noble seniors are in full stride toward their hoped for graduation. Due to the rise in prices of any- thing and everything, senior class elections have been held several weeks early. The necessity of mak- ing arrangements for the June 1942, graduates prove the senior luncheon and numerous other de- tails has demanded the choice of senior class officers earlier than usual. Candidates Chosen All 4A divisions chose two dl- vision representatives to serve on the nominating committee, which in turn chose candidates forthe offices. The candidates were then presented to the graduatlngl class in a. 4A assembly, during division. The candidates were: President, Harry Althamar, Walter Lahey, George Hopper, and Stanley Logang Vice-President, Mary Jane Caboor, Mildred Idle and Carol Thormahl- eng Secretary, Doris Zonslus, Betty Ehrliek, Violette Valentino, and Jean Hzimpleg Treasurer, Richard Parigini, Warren Berg and Donald Jirka. In an election held during divi- sion period, Harry Althamar was elected president: vice-president is Mildred Idle, violetta. Valentino was elected to the office of secre- tary and Richard Pariginl as treas- l1l'6l'. Lahey Prom Chairman Hardly had two days time elapsed before the super seniors went into action, with the aid of Mrs. Jane Carleton, sponsor of the senior class, with the purpose of choosing committees. . The first committee disposed of was the prom committee with Walter Lahey, the runner-up in the presidential election, as chairman.

This war is the clean-up committees chief objective this year. Judging from their conduct in the lunchroom Taftites are waging a war against cleanliness. If all would realize how difficult it is to obtain ford in other countries they might change their tactics. In Greece, for instance, one slice of bread would in our money cost fifteen dollars. Division room delegates are to work through their divisions to urge members to behave in the lunchroom as they do at home. Lorraine Risavy, the editor of this paper, thinks that Taft has a good newspaper. I think it's a shame to waste all this paper for such a corny rag known as the Trib. The sooner a great fire comes and burns up this world, the better it will be for all of us. P. S. I d0u't mean it.

Without hesitation, young Mr. Anders wrote, one, Air Force, two, Navy. and three, Marines. Spanish Class Practices Good Neighbor Policy Juan Josi Moran Rivera Contrer- as, a sixteen year old boy from El Salvador gave Mrs. H. Klug's class- es a diversion from their usual work when he appeared here for a visit last week. He came to the United States last November when he was only fifteen. He traveled all alone by train, boat, and bus and is staying with some relatives now. He's at- tending McKinley high school and has one year to go. Afterward he intends going to college to study architectural engineering. He's very much like American boys, always laughing and smiling. In El Salvador another boy and he bought an old Fordg Juan, how- ever, sold his share before he came to America. He likes the United States very much, especially the theatres, and thinks that Taftites are very friendly. He can not get accustomed to our eating hours. He never eats any lunch. He has breakfast in the morningg dinner at five o'clock and choclate and sweet rolls before retiring. Juan's father owns three coffee plantations, and so he told the classes about the coffee industry. He stated that grammar schools and universities are free but there is a tuition fee for high schools. He also said that the South Amer- ican boys have a lot of freedom, but girls practically none. The girls can't go to the movies with a fel- low without a chaperone. In the afternoon a girl friend may serve as chaperone. .l.l-.- Victory Gardens In the Making In cooperation with the Nation- al Defense program, the Taft Clean up Council has devised a plan whereby Taft students may have a part in this vast program. Robert Forney, 2A, of Dr. Grace Buchwalter's division, and his com- mittee have done a good piece of work in zoning the school district. Each' division clean-up delegate will be responsible for a definite section of this district. These young surveyors are to get the addresses of vacant lots and front- age for each lot. They will then be asked to make a plat of the section assigned to them, and to make a list of the vac- ant lot numbers and the frontage. These reports must be handed in before Clean-up week.

Prized among his collections are a diamond-backed rattlesnake and a pigmy rattlesnake. He is now look- ing for a Bon Constrictor, which feeds on a diet of frogs and mice. Conga George Sater of Roose- velt High, has learned that he shouldn't aim at the pinboy when bowling. Now, instead of conga-ing up to the foul line and letting the ball fly with an over-hand toss, he actually can't quite make the alley -therefore leading in Roosevelt's contest of What Bowler Can Get the most Glitter Balls. Advice for Rug Cutter From the Indiana High School in Marion, Indiana, this piece of ad- vice comes to all rug-cutters. There are three ways to avoid embarrass- ment on the dance floor if you slip: 1. Just lie there, they'll think you have fainted. 2. Get up gracefully, they'll think it's part of the step. 3. Start mopping up the floor with your handkerchief, they'll think you work there. Students of the Springfield High school are all wrapped up in their annual class play, which, by the way, is none other than Louisa Al- cott's Little Women. From Farrrfgut High school this personal poem has been taken: If teacher should stop before I wake. Give me a poke, for heaven's sake. Plan Special Projects Wright Junior College has plan- ned a large project which will dra- matize the role that the citizen is playing in the present emergency. All the departments throughout the school have been assigned some special project to aid the citizens. When W. N. Maloney, English teacher at Abraham Lincoln High School, Council Bluffs, Iowa,, was registering his new students, up popped Mary Jean, his daughter. Seeing her he stated, I think she'll pass, but she can't get out of home work. Allen Takes to Air Aviation is not strictly a man's field, especially when it comes to Helen D. Allen, Port Richmond High School senior. She soloed at sixteen and now has 65 solo hours to her credit. Helen plans to make a career in aviation after she com- pletes a college course.

Staff Complimented By Dr. Johnson Reprinted below is a copy of a letter received by Lorraine Risavy, editor-in-chief of the Trib. from Dr. William H. Johnson, Superinten- dent of Schools. For some time I have been eager to congratulate you on the ability you have demonstrated in editing the Taft Tribune. The copy of the February 13 issue which you sent me contained some very excellent writing, as well as a balanced se- lection of material, and an exem- plary spirit of co-operation within the school. It is evident that your paper serves the school well in promoting such a spirit, in carrying signifi- cant news and editorials and in developing talent and resourceful- ness among the students. I hope that you and your staff will accept my sincere congratulations on the excellent job you are doing in your effort to publish a good newspaper. Sincerely yours, W. H.

It's to reach its climax in your school lunchroom on April 18. You've heard all about the valor of General MacArthur-well sir, students-we're here to tip you off -look well into the campaign of Admiral Yahudl and his Vitamin Fleet!

Robert Forney, 2A, chairman of the garden committee, has with the help of his assistants, platted almost the entire forty-first ward for the fifty- five clean-up delegates to survey. Each delegate is to plat and list all the vacant lots suitable for war gardens. Miss Helen Unseth, art chairman of the clean-up campaign, is con- ducting a series of lessons in illu- stratlon for the victory garden pro- ject. She will have at least 250 dis- plays of various types, to stimuate efforts. Mrs. Adelaide Holterhoff urges all Taft students and teachers to have a garden, but to plan them wisely. Pointers for successful gar- dens are: Don't plant seeds in poor soil, don't plant vegetables which don't grow in this climate, and don't plant too early. ,ii.l...l-l- 'f40 Makes Grade These division room managers have made the grade and thus are members of the exclusive Not under 40 club. 107 A.

Club Members Meet, Elect The French club has its new of- ficers for the semester. They are as follows: Kathryn Vettes, president, Carol Thormahlen, secretaryg and Tho- mas Burnett, treasurer. After the election, the club had community singing. Many new members were present at the last meeting. The Latin club, sponsored by Mrs. Rhea Lewis, gave a welcome party April 2, 1942, for the new members. The members are going to start a. service project for a worthwhile cause. At the last meeting the members had a program. George Zima danced while Pat tEdisony Dolan accompanied him. Miss Luedemann, French club sponsor and French and Latin teacher, was the guest for the afternoon. Bu Equipment Taft's new public address system is now installed in the Auditorium. Mr. Fullmer and Mr. Osbon took care of the formalities and are now adjusting the system. The new sys- tem is being paid for by the stage fund. The old public address system will be used as a portable system for classes. April 17, 1941 Introduce First Aid to Taitites In line with the national defens effort, Mrs. Margaret Walker, ph: sical education teacher, has intrf duced first aid into her senic health classes. The girls are given instruction to determine the extent and natur of injuries. They are taught th kind of treatment that should t given in case of an accident or sus den illness before a doctor arrive This knowledge is very valuabl not only in time of war but in tim of peace as well. The bandaging, which Mrs. Wall er is also teaching, is especially i1 teresting and the girls are no' turning out neat slings with ei thusiasm.

When a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of-7:00 a. m. rehearsal for the Chicago Public School Band and Orchestra Competition. Be enlightened now, you dear readers. That assortment of squeaks and groans emanating from the auditorium every morning is, or soon will be, music. Immediately following the Spring Concert, the Band and Orchestra began warming up their horns and unlimbering the strings for con- test. The orchestra, who, by the way, walked off with an S last year, will play Intermezzo from the L'Arlesienne Suite and Legend, a tone poem by Merle Isaacs at the Tilden High School on or about May 13. The band, last year's runner-up with an E , will play two inspir- ing marches, March on Fighting Men by Rourlto, and the Constel- lation Overture by Buys, and Mi- nerva Overture by De Rubertis. A An interesting sideline in Taft's preparations is the friendly bit of rivalry indulged in by both the band and orchestra. According to the terms of the bet they made, the organization with the highest grade treats the other to ice cream sand- wiches. In case of a tie, Mr. John C. Rapier, conductor of both organ- izations, is still the loser-he treats both of them. Mr. Rapier is quoted as saying, I will made no prom- lses, but I have plenty of hope. Clicking Shutters Prepare for Prizes Is your camera loaded with film? If not you'd better buy some in the near future, that is, if you don't want to miss out on the special Snapshot Contest that is being sponsored by the Taft Clean-up Council. You'd better not forget. You want your division to receive a prize, don't you? Then why not make it your business to take some interesting pictures during spring vacation on cleaning up? There's no writing 25 additional words or less in this contest-no box-tops to send. All you must do is take some pictures during clean- up week and submit them in the contest. During spring vacation, a lot of interesting subjects around your house might suddenly come to mind showing some phase of work per- taining to clean-up. Then will be the time to think and say to your- self: Hmm, this might not be such a had picture to submit. Get someone around the house to take the picture while you look as in- dustrious as you can. Taft Tribune Nation Eyes Youthg Looks for Courage During Emergency Dear Students, Each year America dedicates a week to you-the youth of the coun- try. This year you young people can dedicate your week to America- to preserve its heritage. What can you do? That is the question each of you must answer for yourself. For some of you the path of serv- ice is clear and definite. Others of you may find it a difficult problem to decide in what ways you can best serve. There are many things to do -in the home and community, in the fields of labor and in doing well your own school job. Be sure, how- ever, that you do serve. During this week when all the eyes of the nation are turned on the youth of America, let them see a courageous, constructive, active por- trayal of how young America serves. Sincerely, William H. Johnson, Supt. of Schools.

Page 39 Female Taftites Revel in Their New Spring Clothes By Annette Kruto The Easter Parade was in full swing among the feminine group at Taft. The parade was routed around the rainbow this Easter. Marilyn Ehman, 4A, finally had her life's one ambition come true, yes, she got her red shoes. Elenore Novak resembled Rose O'Day when she went to church Easter morn with her kelly green dress and shoes. The important part of Jeanette Behren's outfit were her toeless and heeless patent leather foot- wear. Marinella De Roeck and Pat Dolan got in the spring mood by wearing nothing less than yellow suits. Sis Holden wore a blue and pink plaid coat: Eleanor Behn, a crew hat. Patriotic colors went over big with the girls this Easter. Ruth Mooney wore her red box coat, June Bing's navy blue dress, Lucia Lu- cenko's navy shoes and purse, Mar- jorie Behn's red blouse, Marion Seaho1m's red hat and gloves, Floy- etta Wheeler's red shoes and gloves, Delores Gerkin had red gloves, and Annette Avery had stunning red shoes. There was the annual array of spring suits again. The newest excitement of the sea- son ls, the feminized version of the military coats and suits. Jeanne Tegarden wore one of those navy blue suits, gold button and all the trimmings, Marge Bailey wore a darling blue suit with one of those long, long jackets. Wanda Fisher had on a plaid three piece suit and Jeanne Beaton wore her navy blue victory suit.

Page 40 Taft Tribune April 17, 1942 Message for This Month In the axis nations many years are spent training young people to die for their country. While all men and women must be willing to make this supreme sacrifice, we, in America, are more concerned with training young people to live the kind of lives that will build a strong, lncorrup- tible, prosperous, and happy nation for all. Our America is not only worth dying for, it is worth hard living, self- sacrifice, honesty, and unselfishness. A great nation does not become great by its citizens sitting back and taking all the good things they can get and letting some one else shoulder the duties and resonsibilities. The men and women who are responsible for the greatness of this land today were not softies. They paid the price we must all be willing to pay for freedom. Hardshlps were their regular fare. This is true of every man and women who has made any worthwhile contribution to this nation's greatness. Remember this when you are lnconvenienced by some little thing in your everyday life-remember it when you are called upon for greater sacrifices. Dr, William H. Johnson. Clean-Up Campaign Clicking The following proclamation was issued by Mayor Edward J. Kelly concerning the week to be known as Clean-Up week. Whereas, America's Victory de- mands a greater contribution from every individual citizen to a mo- rale building and defense within our local communities: and Whereas, no greater contribu- tion to this purpose can be made than to inspire deeper civic pride and to encourage a healthy and safe community life: and Whereas, the Chicago Associa- tion of Commerce each year spon- sors a city-wide Clean-Up, Paint- waste, eliminate hazards to health and property and to create a more beautiful city: and Whereas, during the course of such a campaign tons of metal, paper and other salvageable ma- terials will be discovered, collect- ed and brought into effective use by our production industries, Now, Therefore, I, Edward J.

He is the president of the mixed chorus: was a left fielder on Taft's baseball teamg belongs to the honor society: writes for the Taft Trib: and he sings bass in a division room quartet. For amusement Jack likes to ride horseback. He claims he can go up when the horse goes up and vice-versa. His hobby is playing the piano but says he can't get much of this thing called music out of it. Some people follow the horses but not Jack. The horses follow him. He leads ponies around at Kiddie Park. He has a high scholastic record at Taft and after he graduates this June he would like to acquire an office job as he doesn't like me- chanical work. U The Teacher of the Month When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, might aptly be the theme song of Miss Catherine Kelly, versatile Home Economics teacher and the Trib's selection of a teacher of the month. Miss Kelly, whose home is in California, makes annual trips to that part of the country and de- hair never seems so smooth or well- kept. No matter how you try, it looks wind-swept. And haven't you ever looked for your glasses and gone about storm- ing and shouting that someone had mislaid them until you put your hand up to your forehead and there they were-didn't you feel guilty?

She has visited all the Na- tional parks at least twice, and some maybe ten times, she adds with a twinkle in her eyes. This summer on her way westward, she went Deep in the Heart of Texas and helped carry out our friendly neighbor policy by exploring the more interesting aspects of Mexico. She confessed, she has done a. lot of oil painting at home, but then, she added, I like to do anything with my hands. She has studied at the University of California, School of Domestic Arts and Sciences, Lewis Institute, and got her degree from De Paul. If You Look, Drama May Be Found Here Slowly she opened the large door in front of her. There was a prayer on her lips, for this was her only remaining chance. Once through the door she raised her eyes and then came to an abrupt stop. Directly in front of her stood a, rough looking man, dressed in a white cloak. The cloak was covered with blood and in his hand the man held a large knife. For a moment all was silent, then the beautiful maiden said pleadingly, Have you no heart? No! the white robed monster snapped out. Then give me a pound of llver, she said, stepping to the counter. Page 42 Taft Tribune Students S Air Their Views On Character To the freshman students who wrote the best theme on the subject of Character Education a prize was offered- - publication of the theme in the Taft Tribune. The following two are the winners. The first was written by Dorothy Bowen of Miss Szymanskl's class and the second by Peggy Wleland of Miss Holt's class. lk It li! Where is Character Education needed mostly at this time ln Taft? Yes, you guessed it, or should I say you knew it-the lunchroom. Because some Taftites apparently want to take a trip to the matron's office, they very casually swing back on their chairs, and break its legs. Thus, there is a shortage of chairs in our lunchroom. However, if you notice, you will see that chairs are not the only ne- cessities that are scarce. If you happen to pass by the inside door to the serving room, on the wall you will see a very quaint painting. It is a poster telling of 52 dozen spoons missing since September 1941. If you have any respect for Taft you will not throw paper around, or leave milk bottles all over, for possibly even a teacher to slip on. I was really surprised when Tie- less Tom put his lunch plate into Perclval's notebook. After all, a trick is a trick, but the trick will be on you, when there w0n't be any plates to eat on. Don't you think there is a great need for self-improvement? Let's all try to better ourselves, and thus better our schools. 4 o a The question is Why don't the boys and girls treat our public property like they do their own? I think one of the reasons for this is because they, themselves, don't have to pay for the use of the school and the things belonging to it. Some forget that their fathers pay taxes for these things and they should be treated just like the things in their own homes. They wouldn't think of sitting down at the dinner table and start carving their initials in the table, or when they unwrapped a candy bar, throw the paper on the floor. They also wouldn't throw, or flip spoons out of the window, nor would they place gum on the seat or arm of a chair in their own home. Other boys and girls realize that their fathers pay taxes for the school but it doesn't cost them any- thing and besides what harm would it do if you make a little mark on the desk at school? Dance Club Holds Spring Initiation Starting the riotous spring social whirl is Edgebrook's Sigma Phi Dance Club, an organization made up primarily of Taft students and alumni, with a two week initiation pledge period. The Edgebrook Dance Club which caters to this section has been run- ning smoothly for the past five years. It first reached the school's attention in May of '40 when it gave a dance that was attended by nearly all of Taft. Sigma Phi gained its reputation because of its selection of the most beautiful girls on the Northwest side. It would be a fair guess to say that five out of every ten pret- ty girls of Taft are well acquainted with the club. In school there are only two pledges, while about twenty-five members have to be served. For the last fortnight the Taft Trilfs type- writer carrying and general er- rands have been taken off the tired shoulders of the staff. Seen at the local juke joint: Marnella De Roeck, 3A, singing Deep in the Heart of Texas, and Bill Smith, junior, and Earle Carl- son, alumnus. Allahing like a Mo- hammedan prince, and that was only the beginning. - Dreaded Day Comes Tomorrow was the cursed day the dreaded day. Oh, why must it come soaring so swiftly, racing to meet me, faster, faster? That hor- rible, sickening feeling in the very pit of my tortured stomach. My burning heart pounded harder and harder as the fatal hour drew closer. A damp, clammy feeling settled on my shaking hands, and my burning face seemed to feel a terrific heat that was not there. My tired mind, constantly related horrible scenes before my fea.r ex- pectant eyes. There-again, that un- canny feeling as if I were in a speeding elevator jerking to a sud- den stop at every endless floor of an enormous building that seemed to have no roof. My dry mouth ut- tered no sound, as I could not trust my wavering fear-filled voice. Why oh why did I make that dentist's appointment, tomorrow? 3 It is just this kind of people who ruin our school property. If everybody just put a little mark on the desk it soon would be ruined. When you read these facts over I am sure you will agree with me that we should always treat public property like we do our own and the next time you go to do anything I have just mentioned say to your- self, Would I do this to my own property?

Topics already discussed and to be discussed in the future are: How Will Youth Face the Fu- ture? Is America Preparing for Total War? How Can We Check Rising Prices? Should We Reduce Non-Defense Expenditures? How Can We Speed Up War In- dustries? How Shall We Pay for the War? What Kind of Peace Must We Have? Is America Getting Soft?

L April 17, 1942 Concert Is ow a Memory By Jeanne Lutz To an audience which filled the auditorium to capacity, the Taft Music department presented its Third Annual Spring Concert last Thursday evening. The outstanding performances, which were far too many to enumerate, captivated the audience. Both groups, Cl10I'a1 and instrumental, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Lino and Mr. John Rapier respectively, have risen to the height of perfection during their limited three years of organi- zation, and their preparation ef- forts met with voluminous ap- plausc. Ushers for the evening were Donald Johnson, Paul Pederson, Harry Goeppinger, Paul Olson, Ralph Ponamor, and Charles Kil- dahl. Taft's Parent-Teacher Associa- tion, sponsors of the concert, do- nated 35100 of the proceeds to the Music department. Weary Shoppers Seek Refuge It was once said that the time to observe people in unguarded and completely natural moments was at the close of a busy day on a street- car or elevated. Here you see the weary shopper: her hat slanted at a rakish angle, her hair hanging in wisps over her ears and eyebrows, a shiny nose, stepped-on shoes, and perhaps a run in her nylons add to the picture. She has eaten off most of her lip- stick and in a moment of deep con- centration left the marks of her teeth on her lip. At the moment she has misplaced her transfer and her fellow-passengers are giving her disgusted looks since they do not care to have their ribs jabbed in by sharp elbows. Once settled, she allows her jaw to drop conveniently and permits herself to think un- lnterruptedly tprobably about what color purse to buy for Aunt Min- nle's birthday, whether or not the dog has howled during her day's absence, and if she can deceive her husband into believing she cooked his dinner all by herself instead of having picked it up at Chlng's Chop Suey House.i Secondly, we have the business man. After having indignantly thrown away a perfectly good cigar, the tired business man settles down in his seat only to discover that he ls somewhat cramped for room, since the lady next to him is no light- weight herself. After establishing himself so that in about 10 minutes his left leg will fall asleep, our Taft Tribune Famous Suv' Snip A Feature Writer Finalbf Gets qt Susy Snip was a feature writer. In fact Susy was the prize of the school newspaper. All winter the paper had been full of her spark- ling little ditties, for Susy just loved to write. She produced an average of three a week. The two contests she had entered had brought her prizes and fame galore. Now spring came and Susy was all excited about the nation-wide contest in which she was entered. It was just a week off and so every night she would sit in solitude and try to think of a super plot. But something was wrong. All those brilliant ideas that used to flood her brain had vanished. Her mind was a complete blank. Susy couldn't imagine why, with the balmy spring weather, she had no ideas. She worried about it every night and when the contest was only two days off she still had no ideas. Susy had spring fever! In night before the fateful day sat in her room, wracked her brain and paced up and down the room. The end of her pencil looked as though her favorite dog had been at it, but still she had a worried look on her face. At midnight she jumped up: I've got it, she cried. Susy had the measles. the she friend's thoughts return to his day at the office. He reflects that his new, blonde secretary has quite a figure and is really a little de-icer. A happy glow floods his face as he remembers that she said she was simply terrified of him at first, but he is really terribly sweet. At this point, he seems on the verge of genuine laughter although his throat emits no sound. Suddenly he remembers the current war sit- uation and his wife and his face assumes the grimness of an execu- tive once more. Lastly we have the straphanger. Morning and night he hangs for dear life while the train swerves and jolts, starts and stops. You are in constant danger of having your head squashed down to your collar bone if he ever misses the strap and clutches your skffll instead. It is extremely difficult to read a newspaper while the straphanger hangs in the balance. As the train races 'round a curve and he lurches toward you, you are apt to appear nearsighted or have your face come out the other side of the news. Perhaps you finally give up reading and stare fixedly at his third overcoat button sewn with black thread. You are happy when the conduc- tor calls your stop.

Remember . . . ? By Walter Lahey Beginning in this issue of the Taft Trib, Taft's sports-minded students are going to have a chance to ponder on the by-gone athletic contests in which Taft athletes have partaken. The under-classmen will hereby obtain knowledge of Taft's Athletic History. Remember . . . When in February 1941, the senior cagers beat Von Steuben 37 to 27, for their first league game victory? Jack Scanlon led the cagers with 12 points. When in the same month, the cagers upset Roosevelt 34 to 26, which was then the city leader? Scanlon again ran the rims rag- ged with 14 points. Hillard Dura was not as lucky with field goals, but was deadly with his free throws. When the Waller quintet defeat- ed Taft 31 to 29? Gene Corcoran and Hillard Dura were outstanding Taftites of the game, together scoring 16 of the 29 points. When the cagers finished the season by defeating Schurz 38 to 25? Scanlon again was high point man, tieing Taft's record of 18 points. The juniors did not do quite as well as the seniors, due to the loss of both Royal Peterson by graduation, and Bob Frankenberg who was claimed by the seniors. When the Taft tankers began their spring season with a bang in March '41 by sinking Senn 41 to 23? Firsts were taken by Allan Sampson, Richard Fell, Jack Samp- son, Walter Lahey and Lee Milner. Norlie took first for the juniors who lost. When the Mermen submerged Loyola, in the Loyola pool 39 to 30? Taft took first in every event except the four man relay and the 100 yard free style. When following previously set examples, Taft tankers sank Roose- velt which seemed to have a strong- er team? The Sampsons and Norlie were the stars of the senior and junior teams, respectively. When in the city meet of spring '41, Taft placed Richard Glauche, Lell Milner, Alan Sampson in the senior medley, and Richard Norlile in the junior fifty? Norlie finished third in the finals. When Taft's baseball team smashed out an 11 to 0 victory over the Wells' nine in their first prac- tice game of the '41 season? The seventh was the big inning when the Eagles' combined efforts scored eight runs. When the Taft Nine trimmed Roosevelt and Waller in the season openers in May, '41? The Roosevelt tilt was 6 to 2 and the Eagles hand- ed Waller a 12 to 4 defeat. In the Roosevelt game the heavy hitting was done by Behm, Basak, Ander- son, and Mlkulka. Dura, Basak and Behm were the sluggers in the Wal- Tankers Lose Two Sink Amundsen And Von Steuben Recently the Taft tankers have been quite active. Coach Harry S. Miller's tankers have been work- ing at full speed and have ac- counted for two victories over other schools of Chicago. The tankers submerged Von Steu- ben and lost to Senn. Being slightly upset by the Senn loss, they went out and beat Amundsen swimmers. In their next meet they lost to a. strong Steinmetz team. Norlie Scores Again In the Von Steuben meet, Rich- ard Norlie was again the high point man, taking first in the 40 yard free-style and in the 100 yard breast stroke, totaling 10 points. Others contributing to the 41 to 18 senior victory we're Lee Millner in the 100 back stroke and Frank Bostwick in the 100 free-style, both taking firsts. Paul Pederson, Gil Mueller and Bill Lingenfelder took seconds. The junior team also won, 39 to 185 firsts being taken by Carl Read in the 100 yard free-stvle, Don Farback, 40 yard free-style and Robert Michels in the 40 yard back-stroke. 34 to 32 was the score of the Senn meet. Although Taft took four firsts, they took an insufficient number of seconds and thirds. If Taft had taken a third in the 40 yard free or the 100 yard free-style, breast stroke or back stroke, the score would have been tiedg if any- one of the aforementioned possibili- ties had been a second place, Taft would have won the meet. That ls enough crepe hanging so we'll look at the more pleasant side. Richard Norlie again took two firsts, one in the 40 yard free-style and in the 100 yard breast-stroke. Lee Millner again was victorious in the 100 yard back-stroke and in the 100 yard free-style the top man was Frank Bostwick. Bob Johnson took Taft's only individual second, in the 200 yard free-style. Both the medley and the relay took second. The junior score was 32 to 25, the relay team taking the only first. Following the Senn meet the Amundsen tankers suffered a 48 to 16 defeat. Firsts were taken by Taft in every individual event by veterans, Richard Norlie taking two firsts, Lees Millner, Frank Bostwick and Bob Johnson. Carl Read took the only first for the junior team who lost 28 to 29. ler game, while on the mound Peterson accounted for eight strike outs. When in May, a 51 to 11 defeat was delivered to Von Steuben's tankers by the Eagles? Firsts were taken by Taft in every event by A. Sampson, Millner, Lahey, Peterson, Glauche, the Medley and the Relay. Boys' Locker l Room Echo By Richard Parigini The baseball team shows a gooe deal of spirit, but they have not ye developed into a hitting team which is needed in order to tak' the North Section title this year. Norb Paulish and Mickey Mikul ka seem to be meeting that bal quite well: hope they keep it ul when they meet real competition The pitching staff is not bad con sidering that Stephan, Behm, ana Dabbart won't be back to hurl fo' Taft this year. The baseball sched ule ls: Monday-April 13 Lake View at Taft Wednesday--April 15 Von Steuben at Taft Monday-April 20 Schurz at Taft Wednesday-April 22 Taft at Roosevelt Friday-April 24 Taft at Waller Monday-May 4 Amundsen at Taft Wednesday-May 6 Taft at Lane Friday-May 8 Senn at Taft Monday-May 10 Taft at Lake View Friday-May 15 Taft at Von Steuben Monday-May 18 Taft at Schurz Wednesday-May 20 Roosevelt at Taft Friday-May 22 Waller at Taft Monday-May 25 Taft at Amundsen Wednesday-May 27 Lane at Taft Friday-May 29 Taft at Senn Lee Smith and Chuck Gauger better known as the Weenies ani members of the Taft basketbal team, are going to give the basebal team a break, so they say, by going out for the team. Ken Davis, also a member of thi Taft quintet, made quite a showinl the other day when he took Rutl Solberg to the bowling alley, witl the intentions of teaching her tl bowl. But, he must not have beei feeling very well because Rutl bowled 154 and he bowled that un believeable game of 26.

Judges Praise Work of Group n April 16 by Eleanor Kralik Tat't's band, under the direction of Mr. John Rapier, did toot their way to success-and success was spelled with a capital S , It all happened on the night of April 16 when, at Harrison high school, a competitive contest was held for the Chicago public high school bands. Taft was one of eight schools to receive an S rating at the contest. This excellent piece of work on the part of the band might be attri- buted to the fact that every morn- ing at 7 a.m. they could be heard rehearsing in the school auditor- ium in preparation for the contest. This meant that alarm clocks had to be set for the early hours of the morning while the rest of the stu- dent body of Taft slept on. Remem- bering the old adage, The early birds catches the worm, one of the band's early birds remarked in a puzzled manner, there just hain't no worms. While everyone in the band did exceptionally well, outstanding solo work was done by the following: Jean Beers, whom the judges singled out on their comment sheets as doing an unusually fine job on the flute: Bill Bornhoff, Frank Falkenthal, clarinetsg Milan Mikulka, John Magnus, Charlie Clark, trumpets: and Warren Berg, Richard Wteckart, Norman Solder- holm, Carl Hagerup, and Doris Walgren, drew special attention in the base section. The drum section, as usual did a superior job. After their victory, the band left Harrison high school to embark on the bus which was to take them home. But the musicians burst with pride, and Pops Rapier burst with pride, and the bus even burst with pride and broke down on the way. Mr. Rapier then had to call the parents of the musl- cians to tell them not to worry, as their offspring were safe and sound. They finally got the group home at about 1:30 the following morning, and the weary tooters were left to dream of the success and pride they had brought to Taft. . il tCont. on page 473 Page 46 Taft Tribune Disciplinarian Says Goodbye i Bidding George Knight tleitl and Walter Lcxhey trightl larewell prepa- ratory to his departure to join the navy is Mr. Arthur Mooney, disciplinarian.

Navy V-1 Program Opened to Boys Between 17 and 19 The United States Navy an- nounced March 1, 1942, a plan by which men who are enlisted in the Naval Reserve may study in an ap- proved college for a period of two years. The Wright Junior College has been approved by the Navy Authorities for this program. High school students between ages of 17 and 19 who are accepted for enlistment in the navy are eli- gible for the V-1 program. Students graduating in June may be accepted for entrance in September. What Are the Advantages of the V-1 Program? 1. An opportunity to attend college for at least two years before enter- ing active service. 2. An opportunity to take an ex- amination for admission to train- ing as an Aviation Cadet or a Deck Officer on entering active service. The subjects which are included in the V-1 curriculum at the Wright College are as follows: Required Subjects English Social Science Survey Mathematics Physics Chemistry Physical Education Elective Subjects Accounting-General Bus. Biological Science Electronics Engineering Drawing Foreign Language Hear Engines History and Political Science Humanities Display Bombs, New Books Because of little, slanty-eyed, yellow people known as Japs, there is a paper shortage, and con- sequently there will be only three lists of new books at the Taft li- brary. They will be posted in the main office, Room 116, and in the library. There will be a display of bombs made by Mr. Charles Buell's in- dustrial art classes in the library the week of May 11. The bombs are duds, so don't be afraid to come to see them. The new books for the teachers rental include The Body on the Library Floor and Seventeen Summrsf' Flight to Anas, The Moon Is Down, Athens Palace, Bridal Glory, and Windsweptf' Navigation Radio Secretarial subjects What Are Required In Order To Register In the V-1 Program? 1. The prospective high school graduate should send his high school transcript to the Wright Junior College with a request for admission in the Navy V-1 Pro- gram. 2. The Registrar of the Wright Junior College will issue the certif- ication form required by the Navy Department. 3. The student will take the cer- tification form to the United States Navy Recruting Office, Sev- enth Floor, United States Court House, 225 South Clark Street, and arrange for enlistment in the Naval Reserve. Social Dances Huge Success Bidding a sad good-bye to the Taft Social Center Dances, Taftites will now spend their Friday nights reminiscing about the good times they have had at the dances, or practicing that new rumba step they learned at the dancing classes. To prove that the Taftites and many outsiders really enjoyed the Social dances, here are a few figures that will amaze you. 7,000 people attended the sixteen dances and 800 were regular attenders of the dances classes. Two of the Social dances that were really outstanding were the Red, White, and Blue Dance held December 12, 1941, and the St. Patrick's Party held March 13, 1942. The program that entertained the enthusiastic dancers the night of December 12 was composed of a. drum number by Stanley Logan, John Jokorney. and Richard Stahl, an Accordian solo by a Taft Alumnus, Sallie Dern, and an in- strumental quartet composed of Bob Smith, Walter Keller, Howard Vore, and Bill Bornhoeft. Posting of the colors was very ably done by the Lane R.O.T.C. Twenty-five cases of pop and 50 dozen free dough- nuts were dished out to the hun- gry audience. The St. Patrick's Party's amuse- ment was furnished by Robert Smith, Walter Keller, Howard Vore and William Bornhoeft who com- posed an instrumental quartet, a vocal number of Lorraine Peterson, and Lucille Nitsche, Elaine Zold, Doris Walgren and Mildred and George Zima who contributed their dancing spectacles to the crowd. -,,l .-i-l Cars Parked in Lot Checked Hourly Mr. Harrv S. Miller, with an ef- ficient crew of boys C16 in alll, guards the cars in the parking lot almost every period of the day. The arrangement allows six cars in a line with the second and third and the fourth and fifth lines parked bumper to bumper. The first three rows are reserved for teach- ers and the last three for students. Some cars get out of line occa- sionally and may disturb the entire arrangement, but for the most part it has been quite regular. All cars, even if driven only oc- casionally should be registered with Mr. Miller. This serves as a ready reference in case of irregu- larities, such as lights burning, radio left on, irregular parking, accidents, etc. While they may come only occa- sionally, still accidents and irregu- happen to them as larities may well as to a car that comes every day. It is a protection to have the information on hand at all times. May 8, 1942 Nutrition Campaign Makes Students Vitamin Conscious Taft pupils recently were called upon to participate in a nutrition campaign under the auspices of the National Restaurant Association. This drive is being pushed in the various Chicago high schools under such titles as A Superior Race Through Modern Nutrition and Defense With Food is America's New Goal. The art department is respond- ing by making posters and illustra- tions, the best of which will be shown at the Norwood Park Civil- ian Defense Center. Students in Miss Unscth's art classes now engaged in construct- ing these posters are: Lesley Robin- son, Esther Klein, Nancy Price, Shirley Wulff, Lois Oehlerking, Ro- bert Jones, Jacqueline Shay, Bill Anders, Muriel Kaupman, Beverly Crippen, Joy Morgan, Grace Stoker, Eileen Stoker, Shirley Jasper, Mary Ann Halvorsen, Marion Reis, Ruth MacGregor, Jean Joung, Carol Mall. and Germaine Petermann. Hoping to improve the diet of Taftites, division teachers will sub- mit data to the mathematics de- partment which will make charts and graphs showing the nutricious elements consumed by Taft stu- dents. A chart will then be made to show the average vitamins re- ceived by the students. The English department, not to be outdone, will concentrate on slogans and jingles, collect econom- ical recipes from newspapers and magazines, and give oral reports of health. This campaign of health was con- ceived when the facts and figures on the health of war torn England were released. The children evac- uated from the bombed cities and towns showed a great health in- crease when their diets were taken over and controlled by government nutrition experts. Miss Fink Does Bit for Rationing While several of the teachers were helping out by rationing sugar, the remainder of the faculty also put their shoulders to the wheel by taking over their classes. Miss Janice Fink found herself with a boys' gym class to take care of, and so, like a good scout, she marched off to the Norwood Park field where she watched the boys engage in a game of football. I never realized just what it is like to or- ganize a group of short attired boys and to get them playing a good game, she said. They took longer in setting up their teams, than I would have taken to play a full game. May 8, 1942 Date, Place, Band, Price of Prom Known at Last It has been made known at last!

Orchestra Wes for TY tCont. from page 457 And now, it's up to the orchestra to bring another S, for May 13 an orchestra contest is to be held at Tuley high school. When the or- chestra starts playing, they have only to think of the agreement which has been made between the band and orchestra, and also their conductors. The band bet the or- chestra that they could come out with an S, and since they did, the orchestra owes each member of the band an ice cream sandwich- unless they, too, come out on top when they enter the contest. And so now Maestro Rapier just sighs and says, It looks pretty bad for me. If they both get S's I'm to treat them both, and with the splen- did work which the orchestra. has been doing, it looks as though I'm to stand all the expense. - .,, Not Under '40's Do It Once Again These division room managers have done it again, and so belong to the exclusive Not Under '40 ' club. 107 A.M.-Olive Horst. 214 A.M.-Rita Jakel. 217 A.M.-Lois Swanson. 301 A.M.-Lucille Sussland. 308 A.M.-Betty Jane Clawes. 209 A.M.-Angeline Jlndra. 319 P.M.--Rosemary Homuth. Taft Tribune Trl - -Y Plan ranger, ra Date Night As another spring rolls around, Taft Trl-High-Y girls begin to wonder who they will ask to the second Annual Spring Swing. The dance will be the third semi-an- nual date night the two clubs will have held. Plans are well on their way. It is to be held at Rand Park, May 23. The dances have al- ways been a great success, and the girls are looking forward eagerly to this one. Alpha A splash party is to be held at the Y. M. C. A. May 16, from seven to eight o'clock. All Alpha girls are urged to attend. Beta A roller skating party was spon- sored by the Beta Chapter, April 22, at Arcadia roller rink. A record crowd attended from Taft. A party was given for 30 girls from the Edison Norweigan Lu- theran Children's Home on March 21. Games were played and ice c1'eam, cake and cookies were en- joyed by all. At a recent Service meeting, the members made scrapbooks of pic- tures, cards, paper dolls, etc., which were distributed among three chil- dren's hospitals and homes. Breakfast Etiquette Here Expounded Ah! Spring is here and with it has come the inevitable question of etiquette. Junior comes running down the stairs on Saturday morn- ing, rushes to the breakfast table and sits down, dirtv face, pajamas and all. According to the rules of etiquette a person simply must come to breakfast completely dressed with his face washed and his hair combed. The breakfast table is no place for pajamas. Junior then proceeds to reach across the table to his sister caus- ing her to swallow almost all of her teaspoon. Rule two states that a person should ask to have whatever is desired passed. Worn jokes to the contrary a boarding house reach cannot be appreciated by those who are its victims. If you want to be invited again remember you must not: Take big mouthfuls of food. Talk with food in the mouth. Slurp soup. Put a knife in, the mouth. Smack the lips. Clean the teeth with the tongue or toothpick in public. Stack the dishes. These are but a few of the most important table manners of which Junior seems to know nothing. The school girls' volley bull cham- pionship title has at lust been cap- tured. In the semi-finals the MTW-3 and 'l'ThF-7 senior classes played with the latter winning by a score of 14-7. The MT'l'h-8 IB class lost to the T'l'hF-ll IA class by a score of 13-ll. Thus the 'l l'hF-7 seniors and the T'l'hF-ll ireshies played it out to settle the championship dispute and the seniors emerged victorious by a score of 12-10. The members ot the winning se- nior tecm who will receive pins for their efforts are: Lucille Carucci. captain: Corine Foster, Josephine Gendiellee. lean Hempel. Margaret Kelly, Gloria Kissel. Elaine Passow. Lorraine Riscxvy, and Charlotte Shatto. College Day at Taft, May 20 College day interviews for 4A's and 4B's will be held May 20, from 9:00 to 12:00 in the library. Each student lets his division teacher know which school he wishes to attend, and she arranges the inter- view with a representative from the school. There will be representa- tives from the following 19 schools: Beloit College, Bryant and Strat- ton Business College, University of Chicago, Career Institute qbus. col- legej, Chicago Teacher's College, Central Y. M. C. A. College, De Paul University and Secretarial School, University of Illinois, Illi- nois Institute of Technology, Knox College, Lake Forest, Loyola Unl- versity, Moser Business College, Mundelein College, North Park College, Northwestern University, Schurz Evening School, Wash- burne Trade School, Wright Junior College. Mrs. Mary Farrell, senior coun- sellor, expects to arrange 350 in- terviews. All 4A and 4B students are requested to discuss their col- lege plans with their parents and then have them sit in on the inter- view at Taft. Shortage of Books Caused by War With the present shortage of paper, it has become very difficult to obtain new books. However the bookroom has managed to obtain the following books: 125 American Histories, 525 General Science and Biology books: 90 English books: 150 Advanced Mathematics, and 50 Technical books. Mr. Irving Ruben, bookroom head, cautions all students in the usage of the present books for the possibility of obtaining more is very rare. Page 4 at Assemblj Reverend B.

Page 48 Taft Tribune Save Sugar for Victory With sugar rationing taking place these days, dentists will be less apt to discover the usual sweet tooth that has been so plentiful. If you've had a sweet tooth, you'd better have it pulled now, as Uncle Sam isn t going to give you much of a chance to satisfy it. Now that sugar rationing has actually begun, everyone in the country will find himself using the sugar allowed wisely and carefully. If you enter a restaurant, don't give the waitress a dirty look be- cause of the small amount of sugar set before you. That is because res- taurants have been instructed to give only two teaspoons per person. You may even find your favorite beau bringing you a box of candy less often, as sugar sales to candy companies have been cut 30 per cent. So now, folks, be sweet about the situation, and help your country during its present struggle. Prepare Yourself, Americans! If Chicago were bombed tomorrow, would you be prepared to make yourself helpful, or would you just be another worry for the air raid wardens? Do you know first aid,-the kind that you could really put to use in an emergency? If you don't, it is your duty to your country to learn. Do you know Taft's air raid signals, and what to do when you hear them? Do you take a genuine interest in your community and city defense measures to see if the lives of Chicago's residents are being adequately safeguarded? Make it your business to find out what you should know to be help- ful, and then don't be satisfied until you have learned the necessary things. Each Taftite has the privilege of making himself a. model American. Why don't you? Cooperation Cancels Cutting Cutting has been made easy. Yes, just walk out of the building, you won't be stopped. Some teachers will be out all the time. Where will they be? Oh, helping in the national defense effort. What do you care about anybody else? Do what you want. It is now hard to be appre- hended. This doesn't sound like Taft! Taft students would never take advan- tage of the national emergency. Do more than talk American. Act Amer- ican. When our teachers are doing government work, we will help not hinder them. Does that make sense? If not we don't deserve a free country. Show your patriotism in a concrete way. By missing teaching opportunities you are adding unnecessary burden to your government as well as hurt- ing yourself Work for the navy E instead of Nazi iron cross. 1 Taft Tribune Published Bl-weekly by the Journalism Students of the WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT HIGH SCHOOL 5625 North Natomn Ave..

T aftites Utilize Clean-Up Weele By Annette Avery Pursuing unsuspecting prey th1'ough corridors, crowds, and queer looks, armed with a leaky pen and a leafless notebook, your reporter finally ended with some startling answers to the question What did you do during Spring vacation? , which included every- thing from measles to movies. Hoi-des of Taftites fixed Yours Truly with a puzzled stare and re- plied nothing , but a few of the more unusual remarks appear be- low. A nice long snooze was had by Joyce Dolan, 3A, Carol Hawley, 3B, and Betty Lou Cross, 3A, since they were confined to bed with those bright little dots commonly called measles. Dave Whittier, 4B, particularly remember one day when he took five girls to the show. Washington Wolves Scares Tess Mildred Tess, 4B, went on the trip to the capitol and remarked, There are as big wolves in Wash- ington as in Chicago. Athletic prowess was shown by scores of Taftites. Marge Wieland, Betty Meek, and Betty Mugnai, 4B's, and Joyce Mathieson, 3A, went on a thirty mile bike hike. Roger E1'nst, 3A, claims he and Frank Bostwick, 4B, cleared M, acre of trees and underbrush. Incident- ally, they were 219 miles north of Chicago and went swimming, de- claring afterward, it wasn't so bad after we got through the three lay- ers of ice on top. Betty Shultz, IA, explored the mysteries of Chinatown, and brought back as loot a queer chinese flute. Faculty Actually Clean-Up Some members of the faculty used Clean-Up wek as it was origin- ally intended. Mr. Malcolm Mc- Cuaig, commercial teacher, cleaned house, while Mr. Paul Bigler, math teacher, planted a Victory , or was it a vegetable garden. Miss Helen Leitenstorfer, English teach- er, on the other hand, ,played Hookey and went to Charleston S. C., tvia train to save tiresl. Victory gardens seemed to occupy the time of several Taftites. Roy Johnson and Bob Cripe, 1A's, both got their hands well into old Mother Earth, while Ross Whitney, 3A, claims he's now qualified to be a semi-professional gardener. Dorothy Ewing, 2A, vows she went bowling and bowled 195. Finally, Carol Gerhardt, 2A, claims she went to see Kay Kyser three times 'cause she's madly in love with Ish Kabiblef' May 89 H Off the Beam tThough trying hard to get on while vacationing in FloridaJ As you got farther south you find the people more war-conscious, es pecially near the coast.

Miss Fink ended this interview by confidently confiding that he middle name is Lillian because shi was born around Easter time. He first name, Janice, was taken fron the book Janice Meredith. Page 50 Taft Tribune War Time Washington Exposedg Illuminating Diary Revealed Foreword: This is a diary kept by Norman Esserman of the Taft Trib during the recent sojourn to the nation's capital. This is one pcrson's point of view and does not reflect that of the paper or those other students who also made the trip. Sunday, April 19-At two o'clock the train pulled out of the Grand Central station for Washington. My thoughts were on home, magazines, candy, dinner, and girls Qspeclfical- ly blondesl. A quick look about the train proved it to be made up of three fifths of the weaker sex-re- solved to have a good time. In one half hour, before the strange names had sunk in our brains a bridge game was progressing with Swee- ney and Flauter of Taft way in the lead. Dinner in the diner thave you ever eaten on a train?J-chicken was golden brown and tender. Our sleep was interrupted first by the bridge game, as the second shift filed in, then by the gruesome tear- ing of a shirt. It seems as if one of the Senn boys lost his shirt and his buddies were having a ripping good time tget it?l. Monday, April 20-When I awoke in the semi-morning after a restless night, the third shift had taken its place in the same bridge game. Per- haps the management dldn't want to pay time and a half. I saw the girls with their hair down and make up off. The details are better left unsaid. Now I know why boys don't think their sisters are beau- tlful. Bacon and eggs for breakfast. Bill Bessemer met us at the Wash- ington terminus and bulbed pic- tures while we lounged around as celebrities. By rushing into the station, with a flash camera, and a press card, spouting questions like the fountain of youth Bill created such an illustion of grandeur that we were called for consultation on some big government issue. In the morning we saw the Capital build- ing, the Congressional library, Su- preme court building and the Smithsonian institute. ' After lunch we went to three churches, Arlington National Ceme- tery, and the Lincoln Memorial. The hugeness of these enterprises and the smallness of me had just about thrown me into the thought- ful gloom of the past when Bill ar- rived to take us to the show. Joe Gerstein, a Schurzite, Ed Sweeney, and Norman went to a Gay show to keep up with the trends in modern entertainment. When we reached our room at 10:30, we reported to the chaperons and knocked at our door. We knew our roomate, Boyd Cable of Parker, was in bed because the key wasn't at the desk. After tapping, kicking, shouting, and hysterical screaming did not awaken the disciple of Mor- pheus, Ed went to the desk and rang the room on the telephone. Silence was the only reward. A por- ter's passkey finally admitted us. Turning on the lights Pete saw Boyd sit up. As we inquiringly gathered around his bed to ask why he wouldn't let us in the room, he meekly muttered, All you had to do was knock. Yes, there was some knocking done that night. Tuesday, April 21-Bacon and eggs for breakfast-Today We saw the Pan American Union Building, Washingtoxrs monument and Con- gress in session. In the house was a group of eager, snappy eyed gentlemen with their ears glued on the speaker. Never, for a moment, did they give the impression of laxity. Thus was the lower house of congress, the voice of the people, in war time. The similarity be- tween that and the Elk's club in joint meeting with the Ladies Aid was amazing. The Senate was an august body holding more to par- liamentary procedure. It was every- thing I imagined the focal point of the nation would be. That night Pete and Ed went to see Helza- poppin while I retired early tnot to be misconscrewed with changing of wheels.l Wednesday, April 22-Bacon and eggs for breakfast-Saw Mount Vernon, Richmond, St. John's church, Jamestown, Yorktown, and Willimasburg. The old colonial town is very impressive. It is re- constructed just like it stood dur- ing the revolution. During the early evening Ed, Pete, Boyd, and I walked around sight-seeing and looking over the prospective. Ed and Pete, having loyalties at home, went to the Lodge while Boyd and I completed our mission. Thursday, April 23-Bacon and eggs for breakfast-This morning was taken up seeing the sights of the town, which included the Gov- ernor's palace and garden 3 the capi- tal of 17053 the Raleigh Tavern, the old Goal g and William and Mary college. Homeward bound, we went back to Washington, boarded the train, and headed for Chicago. The train-ride home was uneventful, if you consider sleeping with Ed Sweeney's feet in your face uneventful. Friday, April 24-Bacon and Eggs for Breakfast!--Before we entered Chicago I made the ac- quaintance of a young Schurzite whose uncle teaches here. Marion Bottinger, who is as lovely and beautiful as her uncle, Mr. A.

Ed Sweeney hates bacon and eggs. Pete Flauter hates bacon and eggs. I can go so far as to say the whole group now hates bacon and eggs. Taft girls are the prettiest in the city! tThis surprised me as much as you.J The only school that came near us was nearby Schurz which is becoming a branch of Taft any- way. Misses Eleanor Mueller and Helen Lowes were the best chape- rons possible. No tribute would be too great for these fine ladies who were so understanding in helping their charges have a. good time.

May 3, 1942 Taft Tribune Page 51 Smelts Plus Bet Equals Stomach Ache When the announcement was made ln the lunchroom that all the smelts you could eat would be provided for ten cents, many shook their heads in scepticism. Keith Truett- ner, 2A, didn't care how many smelts would be given because he wasn't going to eat them anyway. He definitely did not like those squirmy little fish. His compan- ion at lunch, Clayton Mott, 3B, be- gan taunting him about the delic- lousness of the little fugitives from fresh water streams, and upon of- fering to buy him a serving of them, Keith said he would eat a few. Now, Keith greatly under- estimated the generosity of the lunchroom staff, and when ClaYt0I1 returned with a large order con- taining 12 smelts, he began to re- gret his move. He dug in like a good soldier, however, and before long had managed to down all of hem. Clayton very greatly enjflyed seeing Keith stuff himself, and so upon his acceptance of a dime bribe, another huge serving was orought up. Ketith had no idea of what he was up against for the ilsh set down before him contained io less than 20 golden smelts. A mottle of root beer came along with Lhis order with the condition that t could be consumed only after the ast little fish had disappeared from the dish. By now, the lust for a mouthful of the cool refresh- ng root beer had so engulfed Keith .hat he just went on finishing every ast one of the little creatures. Now it isn't that Keith needed the noney or anything, but after con- suming 32 smelts he decided that ie wold eat eight more to make it in even 40. Clayton was to approp- -iate another dime for this act. As he tail of the last fish disappeared lown Keith's esophagus, the bell 'ang marking the end of the period. The total sum of money needed my Clayton for this feast was just .he one dime paid for the fish and 'ive cents for a bottle of root beer, md the 20 cents given Keith for his show of appetite. Keith, how- rver, got the better part of the bar- gain, for he received 20 cents, 40 melts, and a huge stomach ache. -l , Farmers Needed High School students from 16 to 9 years of age who wish to do arm work during the summer may egister during the week of May 11 o 15 with the United States Em- loyment Service which will visit he schools. Students must have the consent f their parents. Teachers Have Fun During Vacation Flowers are my hobby, I guess, said Mrs. Blanche Smith, lunch- room manager. On her recent trip to Sagatuck, Michigan, Mrs. Smith in persuing her hobby, took a de- lightful hike into the woods to seek the many wild flowers which were in bloom there, but are not here. In her leisure time she enjoyed a few rounds of golf. Because of the fullness of her week she had to return Friday to rest up for the next eight weeks of school. Taft's football coach, Joe Kupci- net, spent his week recovering from the strain of teaching and coaching. But he too, like Mrs. Smith, played golf for enjoyment. Although there was vacation, Joe kept in training by getting his eight hours sleep nightly. Mr. John qLittle Beary Puippo, block captain on his street, spent a very active week. Being very patriotic 'Little Bear worked very hard in his Victory garden. Thinking he might have to do some demolishing work he got in practice by removing the sidewalk from the side of his house. Upon his return, Mr. Puippo said. I came back to school for a rest. Of course vou all know where Mr. Arthur Mooney spent his 6 much enjoyed?J vacation. Oflicial's Dignity Receives a ar The staff of sugar rationers found themselves in quite an embarras- sing position April 20, when, upon completion of their tasks, an offl- cial from the U. S. government who checked over their work and found the reports in perfect condition found the chairs at Taft couldn't take it. In fact, the chair on which he had sat for two days decided that after constantly working, it was going to stand on three legs. Unfortunately, however, the poor piece of furniture lost its balance and spilled its contents on the floor. The official just picked him- self up and just laughed it off. Mrs. Scott Returns Back again after a two year's leave is Mrs. Mathilda Scott, to re- sume her duties as teacher of short- hand and typewriting. Glad to be back at her work again, Mrs. Scott avered, I always thought the stu- dents at Tafts were very nice, but I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder, for I appreciate them more now than ever before. How- ewer, she ls just a trifle lonesome for the reason for her maternity leave, Bonnie Scott. Clean-Up Committee Presents Gift to Library, School A Youth and Civilian Defense Assembly was held three times Thursday, May 7, under the au- spices of the Clean-up Council, Mary Jane Caboor, chairman. It was a combination of a demon- stration of youth, health, nutrition, and clean-up as applied to the pres- ent emergency. The program began with the Star Spangled Banner and a salute to the flag by Robert Bianchi, 4B. The drum trio, Stanley Logan, John Pokorney, and Richard Stahl, rendered Dawn Patrol by Hen- ney. A Military Hop and marching was presented by the girls' phys- ical education department under the guidance of Mrs. Margaret Walker. Miss Ruth Straight, head of household arts, assisted by Mrs. Blanche Smith, lunchroom mana- ger, explained the nutrition pro- gram. Emergency measures after an air raid was presented by the boys' physical education department, di- rected by Mr. Joe Kupcinate. Robert Forney demonstrated the victory garden project with a large size map contributed by Ed Ruth. A report of the various cam- paigns undertaken by the Clean- up committee was given by Robert Bianchi, assisted by Gloria Lips and Bill Blake. The committees were: fire prevention, slogan, rat, war on waste, and spring clean-up. Ann McTaggart spoke on a col- laboration of what the elementary schools had done. Defense stamps, one dollar each, were presented to Angeline Jindra, business manager, and Lorraine Dzah, division delegate of 209 a. m. for selling the most tickets C407 for the movie Father Steps Out. Florence Biulkowskl, business man- ager, and Catherine Koller, clean- up delegate of 110 a. m. came in second with a sale of 38 tickets. Each member of the winning dl- vision in the snapshot contest re- ceived a ten cent defense stamp. fThe snapshot winner will be an- nounced in the next lssue.J This makes a total of more than six dollars in defense stamps pur- chased by the Clean-up Campaign for prizes. The snapshot judges were Stan- ley Logan, Frank Demskl, and Al Whitney. Eleanor Kralik in behalf of the Clean-up committee presented gar- bage cans to the school and spoke on the lunchroom situation. The garbage cans are to stand outside so that the students will have no excuse for throwing paper around. Another gift to beautify the school this year was several large bright Haegen pottery jardrieves filled with plants, presented to the library by the Clean-up campaign. A selection by the orchestra un- der the direction of John C. Ra- pier closed the meeting. Refugee From Japs Returns By Joan Carpenter ' Strolling leisurely down the halls of Taft goes Frank Michiels, IA, who returned April 17 from Pearl Harbor. He doesn't seem aware of the din around him, the reason be- ing that he wa.s in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. He and his mother and sister Ca '41 graduatel and three brothers left Chicago to join their father, Naval Lieutenant H. P. Michiels, who is stationed at Pearl Harbor. They had barely arrived there and gotten settled when Jap planes started bombing the Philippines and war was declared. During the raid Frank's mother was in church, and at home her family slept peacefully. The peo- ple in church thought that the rumbling of guns they heard was their own men on maneuvers. ' Rumor went around that Frank's Dad's ship had been sunk, but everyone in the family had confi- dence that he would return, and three days later he walked in. He had a good deal to tell them, for Finds Lost Ring, Owner Surprised The honesty typical of most Tafti- tes was displayed by Elaine Krue- ger, 1B, April 28, when, upon find- ing a June '42 graduation ring in the girls' washroom without an owner. she entrusted the ring into the care of Mrs. Helen O'Connell who took steps towards finding its owner. The only clue to the iden- tity of the owner was the initials J.S.C. engraved on the ring. In- vestigation proved that the only senior bearing these initials was Joan Carpenter. The fact that her ring had been found was quite a surprise to Joan as she had not even known that is was lost. during the raid he had manned the guns himself and shot down two Jap turkey huzzards. One of the men on board ship brought him a piece of the parachute and engine which he gave to his family for souveniers. It was decided that the family return home and after waiting sev- eral weeks, they finally got on the boat and made the long treacher- ous journey home safely.

Boys' Locker Room Echo By Richard Parigini Well, I guess the Taft baseball team is going to give Lane quite a race this year for the no1'th section title with 3 wins and only 1 de- feat. The boys on the team say they will have a stag party after the Lane game if they win. Shorty Wohlaber, Taft's ace pitcher says he wants to play cen- ter field when we play Von Steuben again because he can sit down and take it easy. According to him, not one ball will be hit out of the infield. Jack Zetterberg has been nick- named Sewer by his teammates on the Taft nine. You may ask why. Well just come to the Taft's baseball game and watch Jack out in right field. Jack Congdon and Don Pedler a1'e both such good catchers on the base- ball team that Coach Jack Rapper is finding it difficult to choose which one he will star in the games. Hank Anderssohn, Taft's left fielder has been recently named the best dressed man on the Taft team. He can be seen at almost any prac- tice session with his mud stained pants practically touching the ground. Why does Buzz Killoren wants to play against Lane so badly? lt Taft High School Baseball Team Takes Third Place in North Section Contest The Taft nine successfully opened their North section campaign by downing Lake View, 13 to 6 in a free scoring contest, at Norwood Park on April 13. Ted Pfister received the starting mound assignment and was effect- ive until the fifth inning when he was relieved by Jerry Wohlaber, who pitched the reminder of the game. 'l'aft's starting lineup was as fol- lows: Bob Miller, 2b: Hank Anders- sohn, l.f.g Wright Peterson, c.f.g Mickey Mikula, s.s.3 Buzz Car- rolg lb.: Norb Paulish, 2 b.g Jack Zetterberg, r.f.g Jack Congdon, 0.3 Ted Pfister, p. Hank Anderssohn led the team of- ffl1SlV6ly, collecting a double and a homer in four attempts and driv- ing in runs. Buzz Carroll also connected for a circuit clout. In winning their second straight league game, Tafts' baseball team downed Von Steuben 14 to 4 be- hind the one hit pitching of Wright Peterson, Richard Paragini, and Jerry Wohlaber. The Eagles pounded Von Steuben couldn't be because of certain Lane man who has been taking out his girl lately? Dave Whittier is not number one man on the golf team because of a shortage of golf balls caused by Norb Piasechi. pitching from the start and lead at all stages of the game. Von Steu- ben's five runs were due to wild- ness on the part of Taft's first two pitchers, but the threat was sub- dued by Jerry Wohlaber who moved in from center field to take the mound. Despite five runs, Von Steuben was able to collect but one hit in the game, an infield single off Wohlaber in the 6th inning. What started out to be a tight ball game turned into a rout, as Schurz scored six runs in the fifth inning to hand Taft their first league de- feat 9 to 3, at Norwood Park. Bob Gosdorf, one of the North section's best hurlers, held the Eagle nine to 4 hits including a two run homer in the first inning by 'Mickey Mikulka. Wright Pe- terson took the mound for Taft and held the Bulldogs off until the fifth inning when they pounded him for six runs. Jerry Wohlaber finished the game from this point. The starting lineup for Taft was as follows: Hank Anderssohn, l.f.3 'Buzz Carroll, lb.3 Bob Miller, 3b.g Mic- key Gukula, s.s.g Jerry Wohlaber, c.f.3 Norb Paulish, 2b.g Jack Zet- terberg, r. 12: Jack Congdon, c.: V.Iright Peterson, p. This defeat dropped Taft to a third place tie with Roosevelt al- lowing Schurz to claim second place as their own. Girls' Locker Room Echo Put your boots on-get ready to ride.

Some of the teachers who served as inspiration to the students are Mr. Kenneth Seyller, Miss Mary Ryan, Miss Hazel Klug, Mrs. Norma Andrews, Encourages Preservations Dear Students, You are to be congratulated on the splendid contributions you have made to the war effort. You have bought Defense Stamps generouslyg you have given of your time and effort in constructing airplanes, Red Cross stretchers, and many hundreds of articles vital to our war success. You girls, too, have put into effect an all-out program of successful war effort. One more important service vou must all keep in mind at all times is the safety and preservation of school property. Repairs cost nearly two hundred thousand dollars each year. In addition to the money spent, materials are consumed which are vital to our war effort. Tax money of our citizens must pay for these repairs-money that could be used to pay for more bomb- ers. Make this your slogan for the duration -SAVE SCHOOL PROP- ERTY AND BUY A BOMBER. Sincerely, William H. Johnson, .. Su er ntendent f Schools Teachers Enlist To promote our war efforts, a large number of the faculty of Taft has enrolled in Civilian Defense. One of the most eminent factors required of citizens whose nation is at war is the ability to adminis- ter first aid. Miss Friedel New- berger is now directing a Standard Red Cross course at Taft. This class is held Monday afternoons and has a membership of twenty faculty members. Physical fitness is the slogan of Mr. Joe Kupcinet, who is com- prising a physical fitness manual for the wide span of defense work- ers at George Williams College. Mr. Kenneth Seyller is the com- munity training officer for Edison in Civilian Defense Activities Park. This position consists of planning the schedule for civilian defense meetings and securing var- ious meeting places. Mr. John McCalmont is a mem- ber of the decontamination squad of Park Ridge. He has also com- pleted several courses at the OCD headquarters. A concentrated course in blue print reading is taught by Mr. Rob- ert Miller at the National Defense Training school of Austin high school in Chicago. One of the outstanding workers of Taft is Miss Ruth Straight. Miss Straight is teaching Nutrition in regular food classes through stu- dent activities. Nutrition has proved an important home defense activity and should be practiced by each citizen. A blood donor, block de- fense organization volunteer for home nursing and nursing, a mem' ber of the committee of Taft's Health improvement through Nu- trition are just a few of Miss Straight's activities in promotion of our war efforts. Sweaters, stockings, gloves! Looking at the large number of Taft needle twirlers, we find the army will be well clothed.

Miss McCue has visited each contributing school to speak to the prospective freshmen, describing the various subjects offered at Taft. She re- ported that the most popular sub- ject chosen by the next 1B's is al- gebra. The next most popular sub- jecs are: Industrial arts, Spanish, elementary business training, home arts, and Latin. The increase in the lllllflbel' of students to take in- dustrial arts and Spanish is partly due to the war. Miss McCue estimated that there will be about 20 more girls than boys. About 46 students have chosen band as one of their sub- jects. This number is more than that of any other incoming fresh- man group so far. The public elementary schools contributing future freshies are Ebinger, Edgebrook, Farnsworth, Garvy, Hitch, Norwood, and Ona- han. There will be a few students from Beaubien and Prussing. About 100 1B's at Taft now are from the surrounding Parochial schools. Miss McCue stated that she expected at least this number of parochial students and probably more to enter Taft next fall. The main contributing parochial schools are: St. Tarcissus, Imaculate Con- ception, St. Constance, and St. Thecla. Honor Society A tCont. from page 533 There are so far about 150 en- tries. These included such projects as: dyeing wool, making face creams, mathematics in war, fire- proofing materials, opera scenes staged, food demonstrations, electro- lysis, study of colorblindness, art displays, models of all kinds, rep- tiles, photography exhibit, and many others of interest to both young and old. 0.

U Seniors Sip Tea With others ones Gives Steno Tests By Iosephine Gendiellee Jones Commercial High School, the scene of the momentous Nation- al Clerical Tests, bulged with am- bitious and slightly green students on May 7 and 8. Thusday morning was taken up with the general exams. fWhat is a falla any- wa.y?J That afternoon, bookkeepers wended their way through profit and loss statements, work sheets, etc., etc. Typists received setting- up problems, letters, and articles. Late aftenoon saw stiff-necked stu- dents and bustling business people hurrying home with blissful looks of relief. Friday, doomsday for the tran- scription students, dawned hot and humid. An hour of dictation at eighty words per minute was fol- lowed by two hours of frantic typ- ing, erasing, and thinking. The latter ran in violent lines as the tension increased and nerves were stretched as little symbols refused to be translated and extra letters crept into the typed copy. After the first sixty minutes the round erasers were worn to the rim, let- ters were scattered on the floor, in various laps, and flying about the room. QSO help me.J At 4:01 a rush of wind in the general direction of the door an- nounced the end. Although the minds of the contestants will never be the same, they all feel that it did their souls a lot of good. Ed. Note-They have not as yet received the results. Until they do their souls will remain in the pres- ent self-satisfied state. I w l The Senior Girls sponsored by Miss Grace Rogers entertained their mothers at a. tea Wednesday May 13, at the Norwood Park Field- house. Girls on the refreshment commit- tea were Lucille Carucci, Joan Car- penter, Mary Jane Caboor, Mar- joire Mann, Nancy Conklin, and Mildred Idle. The entertainment was furnished by Winifred Pufunt who played several selections on her piano ac- cordion, Betty McQuilken who sang Johnny Doughboy Has Found a Rose in Ireland, accompained by Dolores Rix at the piano, the Sen- ior Girls' Chorus sang Songs My Mother Taught Me accompanied by Betty Holiday, and Mildred Idle sang My Hero from the Chocolate Soldier. Mary Alice Youmans was chair- man of the Tea. Miss Nelson Adds Music to Working Miss Maud Nelson's U. S. History classes obviously are putting rhythm into their studying, for on Thursclay,'May 7, they listened to records of songs descriptive of the life of the people about which they were studving, Since the West has been their most recent study. they listened to music such as Home on the Range, depicting the life of the cowboys. In many of the record- ings there 'could be heard the rum- ble of the wagon wheels as the adventurous pioneers journeyed down new trails. One of the pieces portrayed the spirit of '49, when the gold rush was on in California. The students agreed that history and music mix well.

U. C. Shown At Assembly By Eleanor Kralik all of the who took Did you recognize interesting characters part in the Youth and Civilian De- on Thurs- auspices of fense Assembly held day, May 7, under the the Clean-up Council? If you recall, an important phase of the Clean-up campaign was the war against rats which was started in November and is still being con- tinued. Taft's modern Pied Piper is none other than Bill Bornhoeft who impersonated the Piper at the assembly. However, since Taft's students have worked hard in this campaign, there were no rats to follow Bill as he played a tune probably similar to that which the Pied Piper played, when he rid the town of rats. Roll Out the Barrell But the clean-up delegates aren't concentrating onlv on the rat cam- paign, but also on the school cam- pus. To help keep the campus look- i11g clean and beautiful, the com- mittee p1'esented garbage cans to the school. No, they weren't barrels, even though the audience heard the tune Roll Out the Barrel be- ing played as four garbage men rolled the cans on the stage as they were presented. The credit for the fine rendition of the polka goes to Bill Bornhoeft, Walter Keller, Ro- bert Smith, and Mr. John Rapier. The garbage men YV6l'6Il'f. really garbage men at all, but four of Taft's own boys! Jack Congdon, Bob Matheson, Bob Miller, and Don Pedler. Now, it's up to the students to use these cans to ad- vantage, and not ruin the campus by throwing rubbish around. Another piece of work which the council accomplished was the Vic- tory Garden Project. The page boys who assisted Robert Forney in the victory garden demonstration at the Civilian Defense Assembly were Michael Glienna and Ted Esser. Chorus Camouflages Songs The mixed chorus, under the di- rection of Mrs. Ruth Lino, sang a parodies of Ruben, Ruben. Thev also blended their voices in sing- ing Home on the Range, sung in three parts. The audience par- ticularly enjoyed it when they sub- stituted, Clean, clean up the house, for the words, Home, home on the range. Aside from the committee's part in this assembly was a special speaker sent out from the Board of Education, Miss Mary Kava- naugh, dietitian of the Bureau of Lunchrooms. Taft's Queen of the May is Carol Gerhardt, 2A. Chosen from four other finalists, Carol was presented with two dozen roses by James Downing, master of ceremonies, at the Student Council's Spring Hop. The nine other candidates were Shirley Wells, Ruth Schaefer, Mar- ian Holden, Phyllis Lange, Harriet Grund. Mary Gill, June Ringquist, Violet Fara and Jewel Anderson. A ballot was given to every stu- dent who purchased three defense stamps, From the ten candidates, the five with the most votes were announced at the dance and ten members of Lane's Student Council, who acted as judges, selected the queen. Before the dance, the ten judges were conducted on a tour through the school building by the officers of the Student Council and some of the candidates for queen. l Students Offered New Courses In Commercial The Jones Commercial High School now offers three major courses to students who have com- pleted their sophomore year in good standing and who a.re inter- ested in entering the business world upon graduation. The three major subjects offered are: accounting, stenography, and office machines. The students are also trained in other fields pertaining to their major subject. Most students re- ceive training in filing, office prac- tice, dictaphone, electric calculating and comptometry. Students interested in the courses offered at Jones are invited to visit this school at any time. -li.i P.T.A. Has Luncheon The PTA Board had a luncheon at The Willows. They had planned a spring lunch- eon which is open to all members on June 9, at the Indian Trail tea room, in Winnetka. Mr. Joe Kupcinet directed the boys' physical education depart- ment in a demonstration on emer- gency measures after an air raid. The narrator for this scene was James Main. Other phases of the counciI's work were presented at the assem- bly. Much appreciation goes to Mrs. Adelaide Holterhoff, teacher- sponsor of the Clean-up Council, and Mary Jane Caboor, chairman. Exhibit Work By Students In the show of the handiwork of the artists of tomorrow, Nancy Gray and Eileen Stoker exhibited their works of art. This exhibition of drawing and painting by the public school stu- dents who attend the James Nel- son Raymond scholarship classes at tl1e Chicago Art Institute was held the first two weeks of this month. The exhibition was handled en- mat- own tirelv by the students. They ted, labeled, and hung their pictures, making posters, and their own catalogues and writing pub- licity. These artists, who are the scholarship students of the James Nelson Raymond Fund classes, a total of 1,484, are your brother, the girl who sits across the room in one of your classes and the stu- dents who display their posters in the halls. Some are the sons of highly paid executives and others of railroad section hand and wait- 6l'S. Honorable mention pins were bestowed on Nina Marie Burns and Shirley Jasper, 3A's, for their art work at the Dudley Kraft Wat- -son art class. Each year several students in- terested in art are selected from different schools to attend these art classes. The students are given assignments to carry out, such as a painting, sketch or a poster for which they are given a grade, If thev are especially good they are given an honorable mention and the good points are pointed out to the students. Nina Marie Burns and Shirley Jasper received 16 or 18 honorable mentions and thus received honorable mention pins. Page 55 Fashion Show Is Highlight of Day Speakers from Wright Junior College and Washburne Trade School opened the College Day pro- gram in the auditorium first period May 20 by telling of the opportun- ities afforded by the respecitve schools. Beginning at nine o'clock seniors were interviewed at 10 minutes in- tervals by representatlves of the various schools in or about Chica- go. These intervlews held in the library were arranged by the sen- ior Counselor, Mrs. Farrell. The interviews were ended at noon. A style show, held 7 period in the auditorium, was the climax of the day. The styles presented to the aud- ience by Taft models stressed the proper attire for the business girl and also exhibited a complete col- lege wardrobe. Girls from Taft who served as models were picked by a representative from Carson Plerie Scott and Company, who sponsored this show. The models were: Jeanette Beh- rens, Marian Collins, Mary Lou Enger, Wanda Fischer, Harriet Grund, Marilyn Izard, Jeanette Kane, Georgianna Kurr, Ruth Moo- ney, Lorraine Peterson, Marian Seaholm, and Carol Thormahlen. Music at the style show was fur- nished by the orchestra under the baton of Mr. Rapier. ,1 Take Pictures Taft again welcomes back Lee R. Robins, former Taft teacher, who is coordinating with the Board of Education in producing an Indus- trial Arts picture to be taken at Taft. Taft was selected for the location of this full-length sound, technicolor picture because it is considered an ideal layout. It ls entitled Industrial Arts Training Provides Skiller Hands For Mod- ern Living. There are three themes in the picture. ill In the age of handicraft civilization, the world acknowl- edged human dependence upon skilled hands. Q25 In today's industrial civiliza- tion, the need for trained hand in every walk of life is infinitely mul- tiplied. 433 The program of industrial training in Chicago schools helps to qualify young citizens in the skill- ful production and the wise use of the fruits of industrial progress, The picture is to be produced with the cooperation of Dr. Louis V. Newkirk, Director of Handiwork and Industrial Arts. Some of the lamps to be used are of the same type used in Hollywood '-they are 5,000 watt lamps. The Clock T icles On Page 56 Taft 'reams May 22,1942 Keep the School Beautiful Have you ever visited the city dump? That's where all of the garbage and refuse from the entire city of Chicago is brought after it has been collected from the millions of garbage cans strewn throughout all of the communities in our city. Garbage cans have a purpose! So do school campuses, but their purposes differ completely. The purpose of the campus is to maintain the beauty and surroundings of the school. We, at Taft, are very fortunate in having one of the newest and finest schools in the city. We want to be proud of Taft, and we want the citizens of the community to be proud of it, too. On the other hand, garbage cans serve their purpose as a place to deposit all waste paper and debris. The campus is not the place for this! For this reason, garbage cans have been placed on the campus at Taft. Besides taking care to see that our lawns are kept clean, we can't expect the grass to grow under our feet, if we cut across the lawn. There are sidewalks to walk on. Use them! Save the lawn! If we all help to keep our campus beautiful we will be able to live up to our motto: Keep Taft the Garden School. In order to write an editorial one must be thorougly acquainted with the subject to be dealt with. There- fore, the subject we shall discuss is, wasted time. There are 6,400 seconds in a day. According to Professor M. Van Bealy, eminent psychologist, 7,000 of these are wasted daily by the average high-school student. If these seconds were-spent in con- centrated study, in improvement of the mind, the grades would average approximately two marks higher. Professor Van Bealy also ob- serves that the time spent in worry over the task to be accomplished is time enough to complete the task itself. Time waits for no man. Time lost can never be regained. Seconds, minutes slip away into hours, un- noticed. Be a minute-banker. Don't lolter or dawdle. Watch those seconds pay dividends. Student Uses Freedom of Press I am quite indignant about a matter that happened recently and I am using freedom of the press to tell about it. Have you ever heard of an Eng- lishman who did not know the words to God Save The King or of a Frenchman who could not sing the Marseillaise? There are many Americans who do not know the three stanzas of their own National Anthem. The words are really very simple to learn, much easier than for in- stance, the words to Rose 0'Day. If such popular song can be learn- ed, why don't Americans settle down, and once and for all learn the Star Spangled Banner? No greater musical investment could be made.

Startling Facts Uncovered by Inquiring Reporter A student nervously biting his fingernails down to the knuckle was facing a brawny brute who showed no signs of mercy in his voice. The brawny brute was your inquiring reporter. The question he was asking was: lf you could attend the prom with anyone you choose who would you choose? Here are some of the answers picked up: Betty Ehrlich, 4A, said, I'd like to squeak with Pipsqueakj' fAfter this your Inquiring Reporter will be Pipsqueak.J Doris Zonsuis, 4A, answered, My purple ribbon Figi. CSome language for a seniorlb Paul Pederson says, I should prefer to be accompanied to the promanade by Elsa Maxwell as I should attend it with someone of my own social standing. John Pederson would like to go to the prom with any girl who owns a 1942 Buick convertable. Billie Gill, 4B, would just love to go with anyone who resembles the male sex at all. She's getting desperate, boys! Considering the previous answer, Ed Domski would like to go with anything that wears a skirt. Your inquiring reporter will now hang up his writing equipment and continue his search for the lost chord. Psychs Chases Butterflies By Psycopathic Case 713 The trouble with the average American adolescent is that his in- terests are much too limited. In- stead of dancing or playing tennis, golf, or some similiarly foolish sport. why don't you take up a real sport, one which actually requires skill. To what am I referring? Why butterfly catching of course. What could provide more thrill than pursuing some lovely lepidop- tera through grassy meadows, brandishing a butterfly net in one hand and a cyanide jar in the other? Picture the joy in lying in wait behind your butterfly blind and then pounclng out on a spice- bush, swallowtall, or a regal frit- telary. What rapture there is in watching one of the little fellows struggle hopelessly in the cyanide jar. Think of the pleasure you could receive by ripping the helpless critters antennae off, and then squeezing the abdomen with such force that the insides pop out. Line 0,Type Or Two By Dolan and Avery Sulphur and molasses may be good for spring fever, but what's good for summer fever? The ap- proaching season brings even more disastrous results to this column as our minds wander farther into crazy thoughts the heat brings on. Seen While Snoopin' Signs of Summer . . . Sunburned students. Easter suits reduced to school clothes. Open converts scooting past schools at 50 miles per. Bread crusts and apple cores on the baseball field. God Bless America on musical horns. And the quick response from all heads in classrooms when one is heard. Peanuts and malted milk balls dropping from open windows above.

Question of the Week It has been revealed by the Sho- job? was vel twho is forever on the that one Walter Lahey, 4A, captain of the Yale swimming team in 1939. The question is, is Wal- ter Lahey, 4A, lying about his age?

He who laughs last laughs best, but the joke's on Julian Byrdv, 313. Taft's professional tease, who's getting his share of the razzlng lately, now that Sally Webb has taken over. Summer Styles And jewelry Fads Described With feather curls flying and broomstick skirts flowering, the Taft beauty parade marches on. All be-feathered females are hereby warned not to appear bare- headed on a damp day as feathers have a tendency to droop when ex- posed to the elements. Pack all your woolens in the moth balls, girls, as cotton is de- finitely in, It's actually going to happen- bathing suits are going to be briefer-if possibleg shorts will be shorterg and slacks will be slimmer this summer. Recent Jewelry Fads: Brightly colored shells as brace- lets and necklaces. Lacquered walnut shell neck- laces. Victory pins of many kinds. Identification bracelets - com- monly known as dog tags. Charm bracelets depicting the boy meets girl or he came, he saw, he conquered, theme. And, oh yes, let's not forget those cute little cotton pinafores to be worn only with pigtails tied with matching ribbons. Did you know that Dee Kane and Ann Ellis, 2B's, were made honorary members of a Boy Scout troop ln Milwaukee? Then we have Janice Sorenson, 2A, Frannie Wayne, 3B, and Shir- ley Meltzer, 3A, who were so cap- tivated by nutrition f?l that they attended all three assemblies .... And if you saw the last assemblv you no doubt witnessed Will Vance's solo act at the finale Cwhen all the fellas came out with shovelsl, thanks to the boys who forgot their cues. Tom Parker, 4A, is so fond of Taft that he awoke at 6 a. m. one morning fat the time he wasn't aware then that it was only 63 and arrived at school on the dot of 6:50 a. m. His remarks on the subject are not printable! Where are the lower classmen's minds? In the first assembly, loud responsive cheers followed Miss Stralght's remark on nutrition that a person needs daily two fruits- one fresh - while both other as- semblies passed over the comment without a snicker. And here's a little poem by George Killoren and the much-men- tloned Richard Parigini, who will do anything to get his name ln print: Just see the happy moron! He doesn't give a ! -:A! I wish I were a moron, Oh gosh! Perhaps I am! Boy of the Month N D011 ESSCI' Airplanes flying in the sunset fascinate the boy of the month, Don Esser. Don's scholastic average is out- standing. He is a member of the or- chestra string ensemble, on the P. A. System for the social center dances on Friday, Rifle club, Junior Symphony Orchestra and the French club. He dislikes people who serve oys- ters and those who leave caps off ink wells. His hobbies are guns so beware!!! and model airplanes. He is outstanding in the orches- tra and has an unusually large sense of values. Mr. Rapier said he had but one thing to say about him and that was I'd be proud to have him for my son. Don is a hater of mediocre work and puts comparatively little value on the praise of his fellows. He's quiet, well mannered and always on the job. Teacher of the Month Mrs. Ruth B. Lino Taft's choice of teacher for this month, is a na- tive Chicagoan receiving her educa- tion at Yale elementary, Parker high school and Chicago Normal She received a diploma from the Chicago Musical College and a B.M. from De Paul. Her pet peeves are gum chew- ers in a music class, and people who are insince1'e. If the boys haven't noticed it yet. Mrs. Lino has. She thinks that Taft has the most beautiful girls of any high school in the city. My great desire, said Mrs. Lino, is to have an over supply of boys turn up for the mixed chorus next fall! I hope the students of Taft realize what a wonderful high school they are attending, she ad- ded. Her favorite sports are bicycling and golf. Having no special hob- bies, she hopes, someday, to have time for her secret ambitions to paint or write short stories. But ln the meantime she hopes to build and maintain a superior music de- partment at Taft. There has been some discussion as to whether this poem is original, but who is The Shovel to ques- tion the word of two of Taft's most truthful men? Big Charlie Davis, 3A, can't im- agine when Jeanne Lahey, 2A, is going to grow up. fChuck Davis is 6 ft. 4 in., Jeanne is only 5 ft, 395 in.J Did you hear that Miss Grace Rogers, history teacher, turned the tables and presented John Mag- nus, 4A, with an apple!

If you do and would like to know about it, read Treasure Shelves by Fargo and Library Workers, a picture fact book in the Taft Li- brary. Librarians are sometimes called the most learned people, because of the fact that they know something about everything. They generally do not specialize in one subject, but know about every subject. A librarian's job, though hard, is verv interesting and very often amus- ing. In library school you learn just how the library functions and how to do each separate job. In the large library you may do only one type such as fiction or refer- ence or children's books, etc., but in a small library such as the sub- branches and school libraries the librarians have to do all the jobs which of course is not always fun. Chicago Librarians work 40 hours a week, and they are generally giv- en three weeks vacation with pay. As time goes on the need for li- brarians increases and few are those who are fitted. If you would care to find out more about this field of work, the librarians will gladly answer any questions con- cerning this, and for further in- formation send 15 cents to the U. S. Government Printing Office, Division of Public Documents, Washington, D.C., and ask for Bul- letin 1937-No. 23, on Professional Library Education. ' Fashions of the Day Seen at Taft By Annette Kruto Squeek, squeek! Those familiar sounds introduce the Mexican hura- chees which the girls are again wearing. Lok at practically any girl's feet and there you will find a pair of those leather woven shoes. The idea that is most typically American-is to turn your mending into decoration by clever camou- broomstick skirts look like. Long flage. That is what some of these torso, pleated, flowered, striped, any kind of skit you want, you can find on the feminine group here at Taft. Something new has been added: that's what you might say about the new ankle bracelets the girls are wearing. You can get them in all sizes and quite reasonable too. If you would like to know where you can purchase one of these brace- lets, get in touch with the writer of this column. , Oh! Those trench-coats certain- ly come in handy on these rainy days.

This particular lady reasoned that the ball could just as well go backwards as forwards. Backwards it went, and as an un- fortunate gentleman happened to be standing in the path of the fly- ing missile, they connected, but violently, and the lady had made her first strike. She sometimes has a strong urge to bowl in any other alley but her own, and tries her best, or rather her worst to do so, but the gutters very frequently thwart her at- tempts in this direction. Calming down, she most amazingly hits a pin or two in her own alley. Finding this somewhat dull aft- er a. time, she decides she's really going to let the pin boy have it, and let him have it she does. With a wind up like a major league pitcher, the bowling alley heroine thunders the ball, which is rollick- ing like a sailor after an all night cruise, straight down the gutter. A yelp, a shriek and she's got her second man. Seeing that neither the cross country nor the gutter ball meth- ods have netted her outstanding re- sults, the fair damsel tries her last but by no means her least throw. This is commonly known as cloud clipper. Stepping as far back as possible she yanks her arm back, takes a galloping leap and leaves the ball go midway in the air. Jake, standing near by, white as a sheet, is calculating the cost of a new alley or repairs to a ruined one, all the termites rush to the spot which will shortly be bom- barded, and joining hands pray to the termite god. The ball comes down in the middle of the pins, a strike! This is too much for the Amazon, she passes out. Jake see- ing the ball descending a. few floors below, follows suit, and peace is at long last restored to Jake's bowling alley. Of all the sad surprises Nothing can compare, With the treading in the darkness On a step that isn't there. -Proviso Pageant Romeo: Juliet, wherefore art thou? Juliet: Up here in the balcony.

'Geography C lub In vites Guests The Business Guild, sponsored by Mr. Max Weinstein, held a meeting May 1. They discussed the business cycle and its effects on business depression and on business re- covery. The first meeting of the semester for the geography club will be held the second Thursday in May. The topic will be What kind of a world peace should we have after the war? Their main reference is the magazine Our Times. Membership is restricted to Geography students but everybody is welcome to come. The club is sponsored by Mr. Daniel Mitchell. Another favorite club that holds meetings on Thursdays is the Ger- man Club sponsored by Dr. Grace Buchwalter. Its last meeting was one of a musical nature.

Ray had previously raised common pigeons, but in 1938 he t1'aded two common birds for one homing pig- eon, thus getting his start with the valuable carriers. Within a year he owned eight youngsters, and six more he got from his uncle. One night, awakened by his dog's barking, he found the lock smashed off the coop door and the eight young birds and two old ones miss- ing. Searching the neighborhood the next day, he was able to find nothing. Two weeks later the old birds came home, but no trace was found of the young ones. While visiting someone else's coop two years later, he caught a few of the birds and looked at their band numbers. They were the same pigeons that had been taken two years before. Since the fellow had no proof of his ownership, the birds were returned to Ray. Since then he has been training and racing his birds. They have won first, second, or third places in about one-fourth of the races in which they have participated, in competition with about 22 other birds. Additional Data A common pigeon has mixtures of different breeds and blood strains, while a homing pigeon has only one breed or blood strain. The carrier pigeon is used extensively in the army and marine corps. Contrary to popular belief, a pig- eon will not go back and forth be- tween two roosts, but will only fly back to its home coop. Taj? Drama Club Begins Worlz on Play The Taft Drama Club is going to start work on a new play called The Jinx of Alabama. It is about a southern girl who comes to visit some northern people and proceeds to complicate their lives.

Taft Tribune Taft Commerc1a1Law Students Interview Park Ridge Judge . Mr. Max Weinsteins' commercial law class visited Judge Oscar K, Stahle's Magistrate court of Park Ridge, May 22, 1942. This visit was made possible through the help of Mr. Malcolm Mc Cuaig, bookkeeping instructor. Mr. Mc Cuaig recommended the Taft students to the judge, and as a result the judge gave some ex- tra time to explain to the students the jurisdiction of his court and his experiences concerning the fate of young people who fail to stick to the straight and nar- row. Some of the members of the Legal Forum who saw a few ac- tual cases decided by the judge were John Kradin, Paul Olsen, Frank Eager, Gloria Prima, Wil- liam Klebe, William Brodtke, John Verstege, Edward Ruth, La Verne Kitter, Arlene Miller, Flor- ence Hultman, La Verne Freitag, Charles Kildahl, Donald Sinnen, and John Magnus. John Magnus and Don Sinnen have especially profited by the visit since they are attorneys for the plaintiff and defendant respec- tively in a case being tried at the Legal Forum at present. The gist of the case is a suit for damages because of the failure of the de- fendant to sell an automobile to the plaintiff. Judge Stahle graciously ex- pressed his willingness to have high-school students in his court- room to visit trials because, he maintains that young people are unable to really see the serious- ness of disobeying the law until they actually experience with their own ears and eyes the judge, met- ing out the punishment for wrong doing. Mr. Mc Cuaig explained to the youthful spectators how he thought the defendants should have pleaded and how he would have defended them should he have been called upon to do so. Judge Stable said that the law always attempted to do justice but sometimes the justice was unpleas- ant for the wrongdoer, which of course, is fair to all concerned. Senior Seriously Ill Because of recent illness, Jean Nowakowski, a member of this graduating class, has been unable to take part in many of the class activities. When the seniors were having their pictures taken, Jean was confined to bed in the Belmont Hospital, and for that reason her picture does not appear with the other graduates. However, her class standing was not affected by this illness as she is in the upper 12q, of her-class., Puzzled Seniors Find Important Information Here Buy Announcements Committee Seeks Suggestions Josephine Gendiellee This is a consulting column for perplexed Seniors and all infor- mation contained herein is authen- tic, accurate, and alluring.

Budget Collectors Use Many Methods The three bust sellers belong to three of Taft's charming teachers, M1's. Scott, Miss Carleton, and Miss Holmes. They are known to all upper-classmen as Betty Olson, Richard Paragini, and Walter La- hey. , These super-salesmen fand wom- any cominced their respective di- vision members that to pay is noble, but to pay first is divine. In other words they collected the 33.50 budget from each of their vic- tims in record time. Betty's approach was one of sweet and gracious inquiry which melted the hearts and opened the hands of all beholders. Richard Paragini, as you can readily believe, used a different method of extracting stray silver. His original request, made in po- lite tones, usually bought resultsg if it didn't. that unresponsive Se- nior was given an ain't it dis- gustin ' look. Next day Dick's cof- fers were filled. Walter Lahey appealed to the fi- ner instincts of his fellowgradua- tes. His was the diplomatic ap- proach. Not every treasurer is thanked for accepting money. The three plan to collaborate on a book to be called Honesty Pays or So Do the Seniors. Three Hardy Taftites HoldEnviable Record of Perfect Attendance Lois Varnell, Dorothy Wleklin- ski, of Mrs. Lewis' division and Don Parker of Mrs. Holmes divi- sion really believe in getting the most out of their school days. They never missed a schoolday in their whole high school career. In four there are approximately 800 of school or about 4,256 years days hours. The example these three Tafties have shown should inspire all the under classmen not to skip or stay home for minor excuses. Lois, Do1'othy, and Don, we take our hats off to you.

Since the war started, your future plans have probably been changed. College looks pretty far off for some of you now, and millions of higvll paying jobs are at your doorstep. Your chances for earning money are at hand-but what will it be after the war? If you've had a good education, chances are the job will be yours, but if you're in a defense factory, what kind of a job will there be for you afterwards? Of course, where a crisis such as this comes along, every good American must rally to the cause, if we are to win this war, and if you do your part now, your education can always be pursued after the war is over if you have the initiative. Every generation succumbs to some impediment which sets them back a number of years, but if generations before you have overcome them, you can too. So keep on moving ahead and soon everything will be running smoothly again. Staff Teazfull Be ueathes T asks This is the last work the class of Jung42 will do for Taft. To express the empty feeling that comes to a graduate before he leaves four years of constant association is impossible. Only the seniors know what it means to leave, old friendships behind and strike out into a new seemingly unfriendly world-Emptiness, hard cynical, and uncompromising is left for those who go far away. The group attending the state university at Urbana will have their companionship to share-for those left behind--Taft will be a glorious memory of happy days. As the time draws close only virtues stand out. Our school is perfect. We made it so. What last week seemed wrong with Taft is now another attraction. Juniors smile, sophomores laugh, and the freshmen get hilarious. But wait, Taftites, your day will come. It will creep up until you find that you too are on the outside looking in. One favor for the coming alumni. Please beat Schurz in the home- coming game next fall. Good-by and good luck. THE STAFF. Mind Your Manners at School With the soft breezes of summer air blowing through Norwood Park, students have suddenly been inclined to regard their lunch hours as the time for a. picnic. On the grass can be seen pupils eating their lunches, apparently too lanquid to stop their waste paper from blowing about the campus. It is the duty of every good Taftite to pick up papers and deposit them in the cans put there for that purpose. We, at Taft, have done much boasting about our school, but where is our pride when we make no effort to keep the lawn looking beautiful and clean. Are we really proud of it, or are we much too comfortable and content in letting the papers blow about the campus? Other schools, much larger than ours, have so much pride in their lawns that students never walk on the grass. Because our school is smaller, we must be outstanding in every virtue so that We will be considered the top ranking school of the city.

Shopping Woes As Described By Taftite By Pat Dolan tPe-Ysimistic Viewpointj May I help you? A pleasant voice reaches your ear and you turn to see a. kindly face waiting to help you. With a little aid on her for his! part you find exactly what you want and af- ter getting the correct change you walk away thinking, Gosh, wonder why I thought I didn't like to shop? Oh, disillusion! The minute you turn to another counter you're sure to bump into a clerk whose main objective is to sell you something whether it's the something you want or not. Talk about sales talk! You can't get a word in edgewise and when it gets too unbearable all there is to do is walk away. Sweet and Sour Type The oh, yes dearie, just come with me, honey, type is every- where. The sweetness just fairly oozes out and how you love it QU. At least she's sweet until you say, I believe I'll look around, and then she shuts up like a trap, gives you a mean glance and stomps away. The I'll be with you in a min- ute type tusually found in shoe storesl throws some merchandise at you with directions to try on for size and promptly leaves to cover the rounds with his other ten customers. Sadly you glance at the merchandise, which happens to be anything but what you want, and on the average of every ten minutes he comes sailing back, and in about two hours you might get what you want. Perfume vs. Powder Then there's the perfume fling- er. Wtih powder or lipstick, the purchase in view, you reach the cosmetic counter. Suddenly some- body begins swishing perfume bot- tles under your nose, one after the other, so that the mixture of odors which greet you are anything but Perfumy. Frantically you try to explain that it's powder you want but the clerk keeps on calling out, Fleur de Lis, Eau de Cologne and other unspellable, unspeakable names. Finally, through the mist of perfume the knowledge of what you really want reaches her, and she exclaims in a well-why-didn't- you-tell-me-voice, Oh, is that all you wanted. Around the corner of the counter you're greeted with a Martha Raye yawn. Oops, sorry, she says, but I'm so-o-o tired. She's usually examin- ing her fingernails and chewing a. Goss?

Bob Vanderpoel: I'd learn to dance so that I could attend the school dances. Marge Groeger: I'd take my studying more seriously, but my social activities have been quite interesting. George Hanke: I have enjoyed every minute of it and would if I had the opportunity to live it the same way again. Harriet Grund: Study more se- riously and have the same kind of fun.

Don't be alarmed. Taft students aren't learning the alphabet all over again. This is just a scene taken. from the transcription and short- hand students who worked in room 305 filing all the sugar rationing cards from this district. This may be a surprise, but there were mere- ly seventy thousand in the district who registered so that they could satisfy their sweet tooth and get their half pound of sugar weekly. The job of filing went to the Tafties, who under the supervision of Miss Henrietta Hintz and Miss Mabel Beaver and the aid of many teachers, did the record work in record time. The students found there were many interesting and unusual facts about the districts sugar users. People of all ages, all sizes, all colors, all creeds were registered. June 18, 1942 Taft Tribune 65 The Girl of the Month Congratulations to Eleanor Pick the choice for girl of the month. This brown-eyed, dark haired, sweet disposltioned Taftite de- clares that the thing she will miss most at Taft is all the nice peo- pIe. When asked what she would do after she graduates she replied, Go to college-I hope! She would like to go to either Chicago Teach- ers' College or Illinois Teachers' College. Eleanor says her hobbies are playing the piano and collecting records. I like classical and swing music, but not jazz, she said. She also collects china dolls and displays them on a what-not shelf at home. Among her achieve- ments at school are Honor Society, Senior Girls, Mixed Chorus, and she has also earned a service let- ter. Her pet peeve is people who crack gum and her favorite sports are tennis, horseback riding, and swimming. Eleanor declares her most enjoyable subject to be English as she likes to read novels. The Trib Presents M zlvs Kiley The business of learning to teach was a hard drawn out affair, but once you receive a steady teaching job you feel that you have success- fully accomplished your goal. So Miss Kiley quoted Miss Agnes Kiley the Trilfs selection of the teacher of the month. Miss Kiley's aspirations were not always in the field of teaching for, when but a tiny tot she wanted to be a Iaundress, because ske liked to watch people wash clothes. It was during her high school career that she decided that she would become a teacher. Upon the receipt of her high school diploma Miss Kiley headed for Chicago Normal Teachers College. From here she went to St. Mary Wood's College in Terre Haute, In- diana and came out with a Bache- lor of Arts degree. She taught at Austin and Tuley High Schools. Her interest lies in sewing clothes and collecting Hummel pieces. Her greatest pet peeve are psuedo sophisticates, and insincere people. Asked about her most ter- rifying exerience she chuckles: When I was a graduating senior at Normal I received an assign- ment to teach a class ln the Parker Elementary School. I was supposed to teach a unit in Geography while the school board sat at the back of the room as my audience. It wasn't funny then, but I can laugh at that now, she added. Miss Kiley is now taking a. course at Loyola University in Vwcatlonal guidance. 66 X I A 'i F . c x ' Taft Tribune June 18, 1942 Blessings on Thee, Little Grad-Think of all the Fun You 've The long awaited graduation is at hand-the end all high school students wish to attain.
