The front door is taken by storm - the counter- cloekwise men bustle in burdened with problems of every nature. The echo of wedding bells rings out once more from the Home Ee Department, and the bewildered board is frankly up a tree. How can they find an efficient, yet not-too attractive instructor? One who BOARD OF EDUCATION Arthur Meeter fsueceeded by Albert Wahlgrenj Andrew Klein, John Huck, James Kelly, and Walter Dempkowski. I ot All Hours will not forsake us for wedded bliss? How can the students be kept off the grass? How can they keep us supplied with enough pink passes? Worry, worry. A glance at the clock reveals that they have toiled until' the wee hours of the morning. In Sl short time the first bus from Lansing will unload and the build- ! ing will be 1:1 scene of hurrying-scurrying students. They heave n sigh, only partially satisfied with the solutions they have reached. A motion is made to adjourn, and the weary members part company until the first Friday of the next month. Page Seven Page Eight We Arrive with Mr. Ki The sun is barely peeping over the hilltops as the 7:25 Lansing bus rounds che last corner and pulls into the school parking lot. The door opens and a group of early-to-bed, early-to-risers tumble out and are bade farewell by the beaming smile of Mr. Kikkert, who in turn goes back to pick up and deliver the second load of students. In due time, the 7 :45 and 8:00 buses arrive with the punctuality of a ship schedule. Our rural residents are now udocked' and so they flee to the bandroom for haven. Should a Calumet City student arrive on the scene, he would observe a sight to behold. First and foremost are the intelligentsia brushing up on their Latin and algebra, in another corner we find a party of boys engaged in an enchanting game of pinochle, and to our left is a petite miss busily crocheting a snood. Still others may be found resorting to tempting, juicy gossip, while a beauty salon occupies all other available space. Mr. Nelson finds refuge in a corner at 8:05 as a kkert Miss Dora Harthun, Office Secretary, and Mr. A. V. Lockhart, Superintendent. surging tidal wave of students floods the staircase as they make their way to their lockers. His job is finished, so he too deserts the bandroom. The tardy bell has rung and the straggler drags into the office to heckle an excuse from Miss Klucker, whom he finds speaking to Miss Schmidt about T. B. consent slips. Deciding that he might as well be comfy while he waits, he settles down on the bench futilely searching for a soft spot. Mr. Miller and Mr. Leonard stroll in together Mr. Bruce Miller and Mr. James Leonard, Administra- tive Assistant. admiring a new text book, but at the same time wondering whether the student can afford it. At this moment Superintendent Lockhart inter- rupts Miss Harthun for some dictation. Terrible to be eavesdropping, but didn't he address it to an Assembly Bureau? Hope we have another snake charmer. We've heard a lot about the English classes lately -let's stroll along with the kids and visit some of them. Miss Anna Schmidt, Dean of Girls, and Miss Margaret Klucker, Office Secretary. Page Nine 8 30-11:30 if ' ENGLISH Bark: Helen Brazzill, Clyde Blanke, and Alta Stauffer Front: Sigrid Moe, Alice McKeehan, Lois Heigl, Vivian Abraham English is the Bosic Subject The 8:25 bell warns the noisy crowd to scurry to their horme room, for alas, being tardy again may mean detention and the what againu lecture of Miss Mclieehan, the teacher in charge. Finally the stilled halls are broken by the abrupt ringing of the 8:30 tardy bell, at which time school resumes. First of all, let us visit some of the English classes of the seven teachers who teach this important basic subject. Without them we'd never learn our P's and Q's about verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc. Without them Poe, Longfellow, and Bryant would be just names. Heads of the various departments have been appointed this year by Mr. Lockhart and at the head of the English Department is Miss Alta Stauffer, who is assisted by Mr, Clyde Blanke, who also has freshman debate, Miss Lois Heigl, Miss Sigrid Moe, Miss Helen Brazzill, who also has Girls' Chorus, Miss Alice McKeehan, and Miss Vivian Abraham, who is full-time librarian.

Page N incteen SCIENCE Standing: Jackson Kiester and Samuel Frey Seated: Katherine Brazzill and Adeline C, Jaacks Some students don't find fish, worms, and grass- hoppers very pleasant but when biology is taught by Miss Adeline Jaacks and Mr. Jackson Kiester, they don't seem to mind them at all. Chemistry with its experiments and formulae is easily understood under the able direction of Mr. Samuel Frey, who is also the Photography Club sponsor. All the students at T. F. should be in A-1 condi- tion after Miss Katherine Brazzill finishes telling them how to keep their bodies healthy in their physiology classes. Miss Brazzill is also an ac- companist for the Girls Chorus. The present project of this sophomore biology class is to get a leaf collection.

IN MEMORIAM PATRICIA ANN DERMODY Aucusr 30, 1925 - JANUARY 11, 1940 She passed away like 17Z07'7IiI1g dew Before the sun was high, So brief her time, she scarcely knew The meaning of ri sigh. Page Twenty-three 'II :30- 1:30 Page Twenl y- four We Eot cmd Meet Some Hcurd Workers When the 11:30 bell rings the grand rush for the cafeteria begins, and rushed for time are the cafeteria assistants, who under Miss Stewart's competent supervision manage to put forth a quantity of wholesome nourishing food that will satisfy the student body. These workers, Bob Goff, Leonard Pawlowski, Jean Olson, Helen Gortat, Frances Nowicki, Ethel Hauck, and Alice Benson, follow a routine schedule during the year with laboratory hours thus receiving double credit for their work. No specialized routine is followed, but one group attends to salads, or desserts, steam cable, candy counter, milk and ice cream section, or the accounting and bookkeeping. During the noon period and after school Mr. Frey's assistants are kept busy in the laboratory, getting supplies, making solutions and working out experiments. Walter Barber hands a flask to Gladys Leedy, while Don Murrin fills out the withdrawal card. Kenneth Eenigneburg reaches for a carbon tetra- chloride for Lois Bauer. Alice Deakun is next in line. The equipment of the alchemist consisted of mortar and pestle, retort, and oil burner. Don Murrin, Frank Keller, Walter Barber, Lois Bauer, Alice Deakun, and Gladys Leedy look at these tools and reflect on how times have changed. At noon everyday in 221 the crack salesmen of Miss Jaacks may be seen checking in their money and tickets. The outstanding salesmen, who sold tickets for all athletic events, dances, and school movies, and every affair at which a ticket was needed, include: Billy Stewart, Dick Lebreton, and Mike Zarownyg Middle row: Jeanne O'Connor, Rita Strand, and' Joann Clark, Bottom row: Anita Bohling, Kay Sarros, and Elvera Frank. Every day from 12 o'clock to 12:30, room 126 is a scene of great excitement. Three boys are busy making posters advertising coming school events such as the Christmas Concert, Carnival, News Hawks Hop, Athletic events and the Spring Concert. The boys who make these posters are: James Hackenburg, Chester Buffington and Alfred Hoertz. i Dermody Colls o Monogram Club Meeting The Monogram Club meets at 12:05 in room 108 whenever Mr. Petree, sponsor, thinks it necessary. This club is composed of all boys who have earned major letters. The boys act as monitors at all school assemblies and also gave a big dance this year on February 3.

Yes, the Girls' Chorus is practicing and sweet music they make, too, with Miss Helen Brazzill directing and Miss Katherine Brazzill playing the piano. Each girl in the organization has tried out before at group of judges picked from the chorus. No freshman girls are permitted to try out. The appearances included the Christmas Concert, Graduation, Carnival, and various school assemblies. Each year the senior girls of the chorus sing Christ- mas carols at Minas's. As we see them sitting in the bleachers at prac- tice, in tahe back row from left to right are: Marilyn Hacker, Mildred Guza, Myrl Lee Cwik, Lila May Crane, Nina Cusick, Genevieve Youse, Genevieve Potocki, Mary Larrance, Helen Ernst, Corinne Martin, Lydia Rickman, Gladys Reeves, Gladys Leedy, Catherine Gloger, June Horn, Rita Strand, Elizabeth Hesselbarth, Eleanor Zick, and Ilo Hapner.

Ten o'clock in the evening and still thereys a line! Just look at the people streaming into Old Heidel- berg at the Carnival! Beer bottles with candles glittering on red and white checked table cloths, a gleaming bar with shining glasses, waiters rushing madly about in Tyrolean costumes, hearty voices of the Meister- singers ringing out to the beat of the German band. These same Meistersingers, who made such a suc- cess of Old Heidleberg, practice at 12 o'clock sharp. They have sung at assemblies, at the Christmas Con- cert, and at a program of the Calumet City Woman's Club.

Wfhen the clock strikes 1:00 in a day at Fractional, it strikes a chord for diverse enjoyment to the girls in the double sextet, who begin their rehearsals at that hour. Director of the organization is Mr. Angus McPhail, who bases his selections on quality of voice and the ability to carry a part. The girls sang at the Christmas concert, at the Lion's Club banquet, and several times for the Calumet City and the Hammond Woman's Clubs.

F. library. Haven't you often wondered how it all comes about? The answer is the library assistants under the expert supervision of Miss Vivian Abraham, librarian. Each member of the library staff spends at least one hour a day in the library keeping it orderly and helping students find the material they are seeking. Girls work at the main desk dating books, filing cards, checking returned books, making out fine slips, etc., as Annette Arkin Qpresident of the library clubj, Mary Zaworski fvice-presidentj, Leona Podraza Qtreasurerj are doing. They are being care- fully watched by Miss Abraham, while Mary John- ston, Dorothy Snyder, Ruth Katz, and Margaret Sloan look on to learn the method. The books you see on the truck are not placed there to decorate the library but to put new books where they can easily be found. These exhibits are the pride and joy of Lucille Yurek, Madeline Gumbel, Stella Sumislawski, Eleanor Tutlewski, Betty Over- meyer, Florence Friduss, Dorothy Howard, and Mary Ann Kwiatkowski. Before and after school, as well as all through the day, the work shop hums with the activity of Alyce Leasure, Virginia Sulicz, Betty Strand, Phyllis Brough, and Wilma Dockweiler. They busily type new cards and pockets, repair torn books, stamp the school letters in new books and file old magazines in their proper places. There have no doubt been times when you wanted to Hnd some material for which you didn't know where to look, and perhaps Miss Abraham wasnit around to help you. Near the main desk stands our files in which you can find subject cards, title cards, and author cards when entirely completed. At any time, Hazel Hishon, Rita Strand and Delores Sulicz stand ready to help you. We have trained' experts, Frances Pluig and Irene Borowski, to help you with the Vocational Guidance pamphlets, the different school catalogues, and other material located in the pamphlet drawers. If you should stroll into the stack room after many students had been trying to find reference books in a hurry, only then would you appreciate the work being done by Margaret Feigenbaum, Mildred Lammering, Betty Ann Rappe, Georgene Wilt working on the lower shelves and assisted by Rose Dunlap, Genevieve Pryor, Mary Trebellas, and Orletta Gindl. The magazine section of the library is used by the students more than any other part of the library. Due to Miss Ab11aham,s careful selection of maga- zines, those in the racks are satisfactory to the needs of students. To avoid the rulsh at this section of the library, the magazines are kept orderly by Lois Bauer, Gerry Coles, Gladys Leedy and Jo Ann Clarkg the newspapers, by Derith Moore and Bernice Olson, and are checked out by Marie Mayer and Lucille Konvalinka. Through the organized efforts of these assistants, each student is given prompt attention in this library service. -The least used shelves in the library are the Special Reference shelves. Here may be found copies of Who,s Who,,' the Atlas, the Almanac, Encyclo- pedia Britannica, the World Book, the smaller Dictionaries, the Reader's Guide, and bound volumes of magazines. At the three desks situated in three different cor- ners of the library are seated Virginia Lewandowski, Delphine Podraza, Lillian Kmatz, Loretta Kohler, Lucy Zaworski, Helen Van Osten, and Pauline Gloger. Every minute of the school day - from 8:05 in the morning until 4:35 in the afternoon library assistants are ready to help you solve any library problems.

Chronoscope Stow- Hoppy Though Worried As the clock clicks its way to 12:30, several of the Chronoscope workers can be seen hurrying to 116 to prepare their assignments, and another group takes their work to the staff office at 1:30 to prepare the final details.

Miss Kessinger, sponsor, decided they should get togeuher and talk over prom plans. Weill take a look at the class as a whole and at their leaders. 8:30 - My, hear that din! Joe Terre is certainly giving that instrument a workout. Around in the band room we find other juniors who take an active part in the band - Ethel Snyder, Alice Deakun, Irma Winterhoff, Fred Green, Barbara Wright, and Gerald Frevert. 9:35 - Splash! There goes James Anderson into the pool, and heis the junior diving star. James Fritz, Bob Sausaman, Rudolph Buckner are sure to be found swimming back and forth clipping seconds off their last record. 10:35 - Ah, girls' gym class and thereis. that Jeanne O'Connor, practicing fancy ways of making baskets so she can startle the girls in G. A. C. Helen Ernst, Esther Gaither, Jeanne Sibley, Nellie Swier- inga, and Gloria Poppen too, are always improving eheir technique every minute they can spare. 11:37 - Music is floating through the doors of the gym and who is responsible? - the Girls' Glee Club of course.

The junior reporters come to the rescue, among these we find Vincent Mack, June Doe, Bernice Olson, Gloria Poppen, Esther Gaither, Frank Hill, Rose Dunlap, Joe Lietzan, Wilma Dockweiler, Ethyl Snyder, Gladys Leedy, Kay Bertram, Rita Kowalski and Phyllis Wright. 1:38 - Snap into it here. Dorothy Okray, identify those pictures, June Doe and Rose Dunlap, you'd better get busy on that Junior Section - You won't have them finished by Christmas at that rate. By the sound of all those orders one would believe the students lead a hard life but it's only the part of the Chronoscope staff represented by Juniors and they must get to work or the time will be gone and the Chronoscope will not be ready to go to press. 2:35 -- Dear me! The end of the day, the last period but not an idle one for juniors. There are Miss Jaacks' Thorntonian distributors, Jeanne O'Connor and Donald Koehn and the library assist- ants too numerous to mention. 3:40 - Down in the gym the lightweight basket- ball team is practicing under the able leadership of Ed Litzan, who is captain. 3:50 - Up in room 200 the Pep club members are giving their lungs a good work out and there's Kay Bertram and Norma Cheek two of our very popular junior girls leading the cheering. 4:00 - And the football team is still practicing.

LQDYVARD ZYLA Page Fifty-two As the curtain rises on the Senior class play Buzzards,' the scene shows the living room of the Jordan home at 4 p.m. on a dull day in November with two of the four Jordan children gathered about. The atmosphere of the room is as drab and depressing as the lives of the people who have lived in it for three-quarters of a century. The cast included: Standing: Dorothy Tymkow, Irving Annen, Kitty Kiester, Leader Thal- dorf, and Norman Shultz. Seated: Toni Narug, Jeanne Shaihan, Edward Stokes, Edgar Cusick, Geraldine Barrett, and Kay Sarros. On floor: Felix Sokolowski. Mr. Angus McPnail directed the play and presented it in the school gym on the evening of May 10. Again this year a senior, Evelyn Cassady, won the honor of being Miss Thornton Fractional at the News Hawks Hop on March 29. She was one of the eight girls nominated for Miss T. F. The silver loving cup which she holds was presented to her by Mr. Lockhart on behalf of the club. Anita Bohling is the senior girl who was our D. A. R. representative for 1940. This honor is conferred upon only one senior girl in our school each year. She was elected by tlhe senior girls and faculty as the girl most worthy of the honor of traveling to Harvey to receive the D. A. R. representative pin and to Chicago to attend a D. A. R. tea. Page Fifty-lb ree Notionol Honor Society Members of this group, who were initiated into the National Honor Society on June 6, are: Boys, first row: Hubert Zelesky, Eugene Kowalski, Arnold Zimmer, Ellsworth Sherrow, and Edward Stokes. Second row: john Lair, Louis Tereba, Wilbur Swieringa, Tony Pactwa, and Donald Felsecker. Third row: Norman Schultz, Leonard Ault, Dick Dermody, Bud Thompson, and Floyd Olsen. Girls, first row: Virginia Smith, Helene Brown, Annette Arkin, Kitty Kiester, Lucille Pertegato, and Corinne Mickey. Second row: Elvera Frank, Reisha Kraus, Alex- andra Poremba, Anita Bohling, Hazel Hishon, and Jeanne Lauerman. Third row: Betty Kuhlman, Ruth Katz, Ada Reich, Ruth Bock, Emilie Dutczak, and Bernace Jacques. The Seniors' Choice MOST ATHLETIC: Loretta Kohler and Eugene Coyle. Kohler and Coyle, athletic to their fingertips, not a lazy bone' in their bodies. Grace and finesse describe Loretta's diving, and speed and strategy Gene's tackle and spectacular passing. CUTEST: Robert Brinkman and Elvera Frank. A euteness that is boyish and girlish without being babyish, a friendliness with- out gushincss, a twinkle in their eyes, and a laughter on their lips, not a bit silly - just cute. That's Elvera and Bob. MOST PEPPY: Virginia Lewandowski and Elmer Szczepinski. Short and snappy describe Virgie, an active G. A. C. and Girls' Club participant who seems to be here, there and everywhere all at the same time and Elmer the Greatn our own football hero, who has a bright, ear-to-ear smile for everyone. MOST L'OYAL TO SCHOOL: Students like Anita Bohling, editor-in-chief of the Tborzfioniali and Tony Pactwa, Boys' Club president, are the ones that form the backbone of the 1940 graduating class. When Neets', and Tony weren't actually taking part in a school activity, they were in there pitching', for its success every time. MOST' INTELLIGENT: Reisha Kraus arid Floyd Olsen. That debate and brains work hand-in-hand has been proved by Reisha and Floyd, who are stars in both, having topped the honor roll throughout their four years and always ready to hurl back a deadly rebuttal speech. BEST LOOKING: Evelyn Cassady and George Rushin. Though Evelyn and Clara Cassady are almost exact opposites, beauty must run in the family, for Evelyn now holds the coveted title her sister had last year. George was elected best-looking for three good reasons: curly hair, snappy brown eyes, and a winning smile. BEST DRESSED: Ralph Voss and Bonnie Kroncke. Neat and immaculate, perfect in every detail - Bonnie and Ralph could always be depended upon to present an A-1 appearance. Snort or dress, these two said, i'You name it, Weill wear it. MOST TYPICAL STUDENTS: Edward Stokes and Emilie Dutczak, When you think of the senior class, we'd like you to see us through Emilie, our Girls' Club president, and Edward Stokes, our football captain, whom we proudly chose as our representativesn said the seniors when they made their choice, BEST DANCERS: Toni Narug and Donald Archer. Two whirling figures speed fast and for the moment stun us. But when we regain our senses, we find it's only Toni and Don uSWiIlQing out the latest jitterbug step and dance tune. MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED: Ellsworth Sherrow and Ruth Katz. Ellsworth aims at a law career and Ruth is still a bit indefinite, but we know they will reach the pinnacle of success as they have in each undertaking thus far. MOST VERSATILE: Harry Thompson and Corinne Mickey. Corinne is everything, from G. A. C. president to cheerleader, Girls' Club worker, and Tlwrllfouiull reporter. Bud,' is gi lightweight basketball champ, football player, Monogram Club secretary and active Boys' Club worker, MOST POPULAR: Kitty Kiester and Dick Dermody. A smile, a bright remark, Kitty and Dick. Being easy to get along with, sincere, and natural, they easily won this distinction, Page Fifty-four 3:45-5:00 Gee I hope that I'm 11Ot late for class, moans poor Suzie Freshman who canit open her locker, but up comes her Big Sister to the rescue. Little Suzie would wander around aimlessly, too, if it weren't for her Big Sister. She niet this helping hand at the Big and Little Sisters party on September 8. Suzie wanted to become active in Girls' Club work, because she wanted to be the proud owner of a T. F. pin in her junior or senior year. So she decided to attend all the affairs she could. On October 31, there was the Hallowe'en party of which Kay Bertram was general chairman. Then came the greatest event, the Girls, Club Collegiate Dance with music by Don Lange and his orchestra. Of course Suzie attended with her best beau. Teas were given quite frequently for the girls and here is where Suzie was taught her tea etiquette. Suzie's big sister, who was a board member, told her all about the lovely tea that was held at Mrs. Mayeris home around 11 beautiful Christmas tree. The Girls' Girls' Club is, Really Many Clubs Club board, the faculty women, and faculty men's wives were present. Around the holiday season, Suzie's friend, Mar- garet Schwarz, appointed girls to sell seals at the post ofHce. Margaret was general chairman of the Calumet City clinic. The skin tests given the follow- ing spring were a direct result of the sale of these seals, Suzie also assisted in the sale of Easter seals which were for the benefit of crippled children. Then on February 2, a new crop of freshmen were greeted by Big Sisters at a party given in the band- room. l'I'm sure glad lim past that stage, exclaims Suzie as she watches the new set of bewildered fresh- men. On April 5, Suzie attended the Alumnae party with her sister who had graduated in 1930. 'lOoooops! squeals Suzie as her right skate gets tangled up with her left one at the roller skating party. The event was given by the Boys' Club and Girls' Club at the State Roller Rink on April 8. On April 10 came the Senior Girls' Breakfast of which Jeannette Kothe was general chairman. At each girlis place was an attractive place card and a lovely jonquil. Suzie didn't mind missing it much because she knew that she would soon be an eager sophomore, then a bold junior, and finally a sophis- ticated senior. GIRLS' CLUB BOARD On April 20, eighteen girls, representing our school, attended the Girls' Club Conference at Lew Wallace High School in Gary, Indiana. Suzie felt that if she worked hard enough, perhaps some year she might be able to attend. The girls were to dis- cuss subjects under the main heading of Our Challenge. Suzie's schoolmates who attended were Emilie Dutczak, Jeanne Shahan, Kitty Kiester, Jeanne Sibley, Kay Bertram, Betty Gerold, Gloria Poppen, Shirley Seidler, Corrine Mickey, Jeanne O'Connor, Elizabeth Hesselbarth, Evelyn Cassady, Virginia Fedosky, Margaret Schwarz, Betty Strand, Elvera Frank, and Pat Throop. Miss Heigl was selected by the board to accompany Miss Schmidt and the group. On May 1, Suzie proudly flaunte-d her class bow, wfhich was a vivid green one, and later she danced at the after school social. The grand finale of the year was the Girls' Club Mother-Daughter Party held on May 3. Suzie had tried faithfully to attend all the school functions and had recorded her activities, because she wanted to be the possessor 'ouf one of those gleaming T. E. pins within two years, and who knows, Suzie may even earn that beautiful cup that is presented annually to the most active girl. This year there were 36 seniors who had attained points to get pins. First picture Tojz row: Jeanette Kothe, Betty Ktuhlman, Virginia Smith. Middle row: Mary Johnston, Jeanne Shahan, Reisha Kraus. .

Nlidztle row: Anita Bohling, Jane Bledsoe, Mar- garet Schwartz. Bottom row: Elvera Frank, Virginia Lewandowski, Evelyn Cassady. At the beginning of this party, Suzie and the other girls presented each mother with a pretty flower. Suzie's heart swelled with awe at the sight of the candle lighting ceremony. The candles of the in-going members were lic by the candles of the out-going members. The names of the new oihcers of the club were kept in secrecy until' the height of the ceremony. Suzie hoped that, if she became a board member, she would also be the head of some committee just like the girls she knew: tickets, Elvera Frank, socials, Evelyn Cassadyg Calumet City clinic, Margaret Schwarz, school clinic, Kay Sarrosg refreshments, Betty Strand, teas, Jeanne Shahang candy and check- room, Virginia Lewandowski and Anita Bohling, Highlights,', Shirley Seidlerg club meetings, Corrine Mickey, big sisters, Hazel Hishon. Yes, Suzie, we are sure you would make a good board member, for you helped in the sale of Christ- mas and Easter seals, sold candy at the football and basketball games, sold basketball pins, helped in the dressing of dolls for Christmas, helped raffle a cake at the Carnival and helped fill Thanksgiving baskets. Suzie found out that it was very easy to become active at school because the Girls' Club was always sponsoring social activities in which she could render service to her school or to her community. The Girls' Club officers during 1940 were: Emilie Dutczak, president, Jeanne Shahan, vice-president, Kitty Kiester, secretary, Jeanne Sibley, treasurer.

F.'s debate teams are not to be found among the merry crowd ready to leave the building. Instead, we find them hurry- ing to room 222 for two hours of preparation under the supervision of Frank Allan, their energetic coach. Because they cc-uldn't accomplish everytlhing in the time allotted them after school, the tournament team of Arnold Zimmer, Ruth Katz, Reisha Kraus, and Ellsworth Sherro-w found it very convenient to hold meetings at their homes. In ease you have won- dered why you often Hnd a debater suppressing a yawn, it's because the clock almost completely went around before the meeting held the previous evening had ended. Time plays a very important part to debaters for no sooner is one tournament over than they must be ready to take Part in another. Statistics demonstrate, as a debater would say, that we have participated in sixteen tournaments. Fractionalis busy debate season commenced when the entire varsity squad of Zimmer, Katz, Kraus, Sherrow, Thedens, Gibbons, Kraegel, Wahlgren, Twedell, McMullin, Leedy, Lauerman, Olson, Murrin, Dean, and Rappe, took part in the annual Hammond practice tournament held November 11. Since that time everyone has participated in at least four debates, while each member of the tour- nament squad has taken part in at least fifty debates. Not only has this team debated fifty times, but they have gone on three overnight trips, met schools from four different states, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, and even served as judges. They also placed first in the Interstate semi-Hnals, second in the Interstate finals, and second in the tournament held at LaPorte. Mr. Allan's enthusiasm, as shown in the center picture, has done much to urge them on to winning the cup for taking first place in the Metropolitan Debate League held in 1939. However, the climax of the season came on April 13, when Edgar Thedens, Ruth Katz, on the affirmative, and Reisha Kraus, Arnold Zimmer, Ellsworth Sherrow, negative, won second place at the district tourna- ment held at LaGrange. This victory made T. Ffs debaters eligible to compete with the twelve best Illinois schools for the state championship at Urbana on April 26-27. Six straight wins for first place at the Bloomington Invitational Meet of April 20 was another feather in their caps. Not only has our tournament team been active, but the sophomore squad of Edgar Thedens, Billy Gibbons, Albert XVahlgren, and Wilfred Kraegel have participated in many debates so that next year Frac- tional will have a very experienced team to replace those seniors who have been active. This team placed second in the Freshman-Sophomore tournament at West Aurora, and also won second place in the tournament held at Elgin. Fractional's freshman squad of Jones, Bogacz, Anderson, Peters, Pactwa, Kinsman, Allward, Coughlin, Nowak, Barker, Mowatt, and Klimek, with Clyde Blanke as their coach, have served as very competent chairmen and time keepers at the Christmas tournament for reserve debaters, the Inter- state finals, and various other debates held at our school.

E, Page Fifty-nine There Still ore Four More Clubs No, it wasn't the circus coming to town! lt was just some enthusiastic Boys' Club members marching through the hall in tempo with the beat of drums, carrying banners and signs advertising the Boys' Club annual dance. This is just one example of the energy and en- thusiasm displayed by the Boys' Club throughout the year, under the leadership of Tony Pactwa, presi- dent, Ralph Voss, vice-president: Donald Felsecker, secretary, and Bernard Nondorf, treasurer. COHicers in insertj just raring to carry out the plans for some event, we find these boys sitting and laying their plans during the first lunch period: Donald Eelsecker, Bud Thompson, Eugene Coyle, Edward Stokes, Bernard Nondorf, Ralph Voss, Dominick Vitale, Donald Koehn, ,loc Terre, Edward Kuhlman, John Padjen, Tommy Shaffer, listening to President Tony Pactwa giving them a pep talk. The first Boys' Club affair, the Freshman Party given early in the fall, was met with great enthusiasm. Next, the boys were kept busy distributing 60 Thanksgiving baskets to needy families in Calumet City, Burnham, and Lansing, a project in which they helped the Girls' Club. Spring activities commenced for the Boys' Club when they started the ball rolling on roller skates at the party lieltl April 8 at the State Roller Rink. The Boys' and Girls' Clubs again cooperated in this affair. Page Sixty The climax of the year was the Vienesse Waltz,,' the annual Boys' Club Dance, given on April 12. The spirit of the boys, the desire to make every- thing they planned a success, made this year's Boys' Club one of the most outstanding T. F. has had in years. It's 3:45 Tuesday and the Flying Eagles are hold- ing their weekly meeting. Plans are being made for a trip to the Municipal Airport, and for another one of their big model meets. We see seated left to right in the art of admiring a particularly fine model: Botlom row: Dick Cassidy, and Billy Stewart.

At 3:40 on Thursday afternoon, the Photography Club, sponsored by Mr. Frey, meets in room 217. Before the meeting the officers, Betty Strand, Eugene Kowalski, Shirley Seidler and Donald Lammering check over the program. The first project, that of making cameras out of card board, adhesive paper, and a needle, is quite a task but the members succeed in doing it. Pictured with their hand made pin-hole cameras are Dick Le Breton, Paul Nady, Paul Jones, Billy Stewart, Dorothy Howard, Jacqueline Jones, Phyllis YVright, Norma Goyke, Rita Kowalski, Anna Van Krimpen, Helen Bergeron, and Margaret Schwarz. Developing negatives and printing pictures is an interesting project. Gladys Leedy and Elaine Wfojciehoski develop at the trays, while Don Lammering is engaged at the printing box. Shirley Seidler, Mary Johnston, Eugene Kowalski, and Grval Meyer are examing newly made negatives to see if they are worth being printed. Every other Monday evening at 3:45 in room 200 the News Hawks gather to discuss ways of carrying out their projects. Putting on a successful hop is the main project of the News Hawks every year, and every member helps in some way. This year Henry Kayner's orchestra provided music for a crowd of 400 dancers. The roll consists mainly of girls, as follows: First row: Emilie Dutczak, Corinne Mickey, Ruth Katz, Reisha Kraus, Jane Bledsoe, Elvera Frank, Helene Brown, Bernace Jacques, Anita Bohling, and Kay Sarros. Second row: Irma XVinterhoff, Mabel Keller, Florence Friduss, Mary Trebel- las, Jean O'Connor, Margaret Schwarz, and Virginia Lewandowski.

In an afternoon assembly on January 18, Ellsworth Sherrow, senior, was chosen first place winner in the American Legion Oratorical Contest, and Albert Wahlgren, sophomore, received second place. Estelle Pactwa, sophomore, first place winner in the annual freshman- sophomore poetry reading contest and Arnold Zimmer, senior, winner of the junior-senior extemporaneous speaking contest received the honor of having their names engraved on the library plaque which was presented to the school by the Calumet City Woman's Club. Estelle and Arnold also received books. The judge of the contest was Miss Ella Schad of George Rogers Clark High School. An interesting assembly presented one afternoon to the student body was a one-act play entitled Submerged, directed by Mr. Blanke. The cast traveled to Bloomington, Illinois on April 20, and won first place at an invitational meet in which eight plays were entered. This is the first time in the history of the school that Thornton Fractional has been represented in a contest of this sort. The tense scene shows the men drawing cards to determine whose fate it is to die: Vincent Mack, Tony Pactwa, Steve Sertic, Edgar Cusick and Steve Jonas.

CHEER LEADERS They Add Glomour to Sports As vitally important as bristles to a brush have been our band, cheerleaders, and Pep Club to the sports this past year. No longer do we come to school solely to watch an exciting contest between two teams but we look forward to the zest, the glamour, the glory our band and spectators lend to the scene. In the tense moment while you're waiting for the tip-off, the encouraging strains of the school song ring out. We settle clown on the edge of our seats and give our all, as we yell with the Pep Club lcd by Kitty Kiester, Norma Cheek, Corinne Mickey, John Yonke, Virginia Fedosky, and Kay Bertram. Then at the half when Fate seems against us we are greeted by the strutting figure of drum major Tony Pactwa. He is followed by Bill Clay in bright uniform and Dolores Sulicz, Delphine Podraza, Florence Zieli, and Mildred Youse in glistening white satin. Tony marches down center and the audience holds its breath as he bends back- wards. Across each one's mind flashes the question, Will his hat make him top-heavy and pull him over? But no! Not Tony! He is backed by the self-confidence that comes from hours of diligent practice. An ooh - and ah - a sigh, and they,re gone. This dazzling sight has had a magical effect on everyone, team included, and spurs us on to chalk up another victory for the Purple and Gold.

Qld Father Time was fooled when he stepped out of the school on September 22 and looked at the football field. All to be seen were a few figures setting and arranging bleachers. Father had expected a football team and crowded bleachers. But for the first time in T. F.'s history there was a night game on T. F.'s own field. This new field with surrounding track and field facilities and a softball field is one of the best lighted and best turfed fields in thc Calumet region. Before playing at T. F.'s own new field the team traveled to St. Leo and were beaten 6-0 on Septem- ber 15. Our boys were low on practice but still showed up to break up everything Leo had but one long run. l939 Football lnitiotes New Field with Floodlights Coming back to our own field to play for the first time on September 22 a big dedication ceremony was presented. The officials present were: Mayor Zick of Calumet City, Mayor Martin of Hammond, Supt. Fred Benson of the Hammond Technical High School, the principals and school board members of Lansing, Burnham, and Calumet City. Also on the speaker's platform were tfhe rival coaches Petree and Wilson and Capt. Eddie Stokes of the Meteors. The Master of Ceremonies was Bruce Miller. Tech and Fractional bands both marched and joined in playing the Star Spangled Bannerf' The team made the dedication a complete success by winning 20-0 with Sid Eby dashing off 2 touch- downs and big Steve Sertic going over for the other.

Fresh from victory, Fractional met Kankakee October 2 on our field and were humbled for the first time in twelve years by a Kankakee team, being de- feated 6-0. Kankakee scored on a long run by John- son, speedy halfback, while our boys seemed lost without Gene Coyle, who was ill. But T. F. was not to be chagrinned by this one league defeat and traveled to Blue Island on October to trim them 12-0. Donald Koehn cut loose for one touchdown and Dominick Vitale went over on the other. After a new start at Blue Island our boys hit Harvey on October 13 with renewed vigor. It was Dominick Vitale who carried the ball only once but tallied six points to take this bruising game from Harvey. Dick Dermody again connected to make the score 2. F. 7, Harvey 0. Put up against a larger team the Meteors fought on even terms with St. George of Evanston for three quarters. Then in Uhe fourth period Donald Koehn, left half, swept the end for six points only to have St. George come hammering back to score and cou- vert to win 7-6. This game was played on October 20. After the hard-fought St. George Game, T. F. ran into an equally tough and equally big team in Bloom of Chicago Heights on October 27. After stampeding over other teams Bloom met stiff opposi- tion from Fractional. The Meteor line held on several occasions only to succumb to a 30 yd. dash by Hendron, Bloom flash, and to lose 6-0. Undismayed the Meteors met Argo November 3, on our own field with Donald Koehn running loose to score two touchdowns. Gene Coyle scored both extra points to win 14-0 from this new South Suburban entree. Capt. Edward Stokes The Meteors next traveled to Lockport on Novem- ber 11 to meet another new league entry. After playing a lifeless half in which Lockport scored and made the extra point, the T. F. boys got hot in the third quarter and put Gene Coyle over with a touch- down but failed in the attempt for the extra point and lost 7-6. This finished the regular season but a charity game with Catholic Central was still to be played. A trophy was to be presented to the winning team and an individual troplhy given to the most out- standing player from the two teams. A.fter a hectic first quarter in which T. F. fumbled four times, once giving Central a safety, both teams settled down and played real ball with Central scoring in the second quarter and Fractional marching 80 yards to send sophomore Bill DeCamp over for a touch- down, but he failed to convert and we lost 8-6. Red Winkler of Central was given a gold football as the outstanding star of the game. RETURNING PLAYERS Ifirsf row: Dominick Vitale, Henry Bobak, Donald Koehn, John Padjen, and Bernard Nondorf Second row: Bill Dc Camp, Steve Sertic, and Joe Hill Although this year's team was not what might be called a money team, it paid' in dividends. It came out in the short end of the won and lost, but in percentage it outscored its opponents with 71 points to the opponents' 41, while losing six games and winning four. It also outgained its opponents in passing, punting, and rushing. Thus did they win the new title of Tough Fighters. Out of 21 lettermen, 13 are seniors who will not return.

Rather than describe the whole season straight through We will try to de- scribe the highlights of the season, among them losses and wins. Coach Young started tfhe season with a group of new players and furnished many upsets during the season. Outstanding among these upsets was the beating of Bloom on our floor November 23. George Rushin was the standout of this game which we Won 28-19. Three days after beating Bloom our boys tools on Thornton of Harvey who had beaten Bloom 43-34 on December 8 and beat them '50-39 with Dermody and Ollrich scoring 15 and 14 points respectively. Another revenge battle was won when the Meteors met who also had Whipped them, this time 35-31 on january 5 and trimmed them 31-13 for a decisive victory on February 10. Again Ollrich and Dermody poured in the high points scor- ing 24 between them. On January 26 our boys made T. F. history when for the first time in history we beat George Rogers Clark of Hammond 33-29 on January 26. All the boys worked together to score practically equal points. Page 5i'L'vnly-fiz-'c Grant Park was our Hrst tournament victory losing to us 40-27 on February 27 with everybody wvho played steady scoring at least five points. The defeat that hurt most during the season was the defeat Bloom handed us 20-15 on February 20 to put us out of the league race definitely. The other defeat that hurt was losing to Joliet in the waning minutes of the game by :Shree free throws to lose 26-23 in that last tournament game on February 29. Other teams to fall to the Meteor fights and pepper in league competition were Blue Island twice 50-17 and 35-185 Argo twice 45-23 and 35-209 Lockport twice 31-28 and 52-33. Indiana's basketball superiority seemed to show as three Indiana teams beat us' and we beat only one. We beat Clark but Hammond Tech, later state champs, beat us in our second game of the season 36-25 at Civic Center. Roosevelt caught our boys napping when they beat us 41-33 on December 10. Tolleston of Gary was also played and they defeated us 30-32 in a thrilling overtime. Our alumni returned and beat us 25-23 in the season's second overtime, Pete Chapelle 39 putting in the Winning basket. Lettermen include: Andy Petrislta . . . Senior. Andy was small but lie could really handle a ball and hit from all over when hot. Andy was elected Honorary Captain at the end of the season. He was always up there out- jumping the bigger fellows. Captain Eugene Schultz . . . Senior. Gene led the team in the first semester in fine style and was always in there fighting to win. Page Si' 1 W1 ly -.six Gem' Ollriela . . . Senior. Gene was sharpshootcr from any and all angles and led the scoring column in most games. Gene also was a Hne defensive man with no one scoring .high on him. Dick Dermody . . . Senior. He was the big boy who played center and really fought hard to keep the ball at all times. Dick could be counted on for plenty of rebounds at either end of the floor and during all games he was a constant scoring threat. Don Archer . . . Senior. 'KCue-ball as he is called was the ace spark plug of the team. Not much on the scoring end Cue-ball made up for it in defen- sive ability and' setting other players up. His' fancy shots gained' the admiration of the whole team. Melvin Ce1'o1fi1za . . . Senior. This was Happy's first year out and he could be depended on for points when they were needed. Happy also stopped up several relays in numerous games. Hank Ioswielt . . . Senior. Joswick transfered from Lane High and turned into an offensive and defensive threat Fractional was glad to get. He, like Rushin, was dead on long shots. Eugene Coyle . . . Senior. Genet was the only three year man on the team and although he wasn't playing steady he showed he had lots in him when he did play. DeCa1n11 . . . Sophomore. A big husky boy, Ears learned to get in the thick of things and really Hght for the ball. DeCamp started scoring in mid-season and was hot from then on. George Ruskin . . . Senior. George Rushin might be handsome but it never interfered with his basket- ball playing. He vvas deadly wit.h his long shots especially, and also a defensive star.

Eddie Litzan, Charles Doe, Bud Thompson, Teddy Kunka Lightweights ore Champs Again Champs again in one of Illinois, toughest leagues! That is the accomplishment of this year's lightweight squad which was one of T. F.'s truly great ones. New records in scoring were set by this year's team which also won the Blue Island Invitational Tourna- ment for the first time in T. F. history. Coached by Mr. Kiester, the lightweights started off the season by defeating Morgan Park December 1, 18-16 with red-headed Leader Thaldorf bringing results with his hot shooting. On December 2, the lightweights trimmed Ham- mond Techs B,' team 13-12 in a thriller at the Civic Center. T. F.'s first league victory came when they trimmed Thornton of Harvey 24-17 before a big crowd in our gym. A score of 37-12 in the Argo game gave our lights their fourth victory. The Kiesterites started thc new year by losing to Kankakee 29-21 despite good playing by Bu.. Thompson. Blue Island was guest to T. F. on the 6th and lost a close one 18-16. Six days later Tolleston of Gary hit T. F. and were trimmed 31-14 with newly-elected Captain Eddie Litzan securing 21 points. On the 16th the Alumni returned to their Dear Old Alma Marnmyu and were defeated 32-19. Lockport was mauled 34-19 when they played guest to T. F. on the 19th. December 23 found Bloom the league leaders in our gym beating us 24-15 to give us a tie in the league standing. On January 26 the lightweights traveled to Har- vey and finished them off 32-23. Cn February 2 Argo felt the edge of the Tough Page Sc'L'cr1ly-xcutrl .sb www 1 f sia- W ,Q Zelesky, and Chuck Doe son, and Mack Budzowski Fighters' winning ability when they lost to us 30-18. February 17, and our boys practically anninilated Blue Island 41-13. Then came the lightweight's Waterloo. They seemed lost in Bloom's big game at Chicago Heights and thus lost the game 35-13 on their off day of the season. February 23 and the Co-champs finished up strong by beating Lockport 51-17. Captain Eddie Litzan finished the season in grand style by scoring 23 points for a new South Suburban record. After finishing their regular schedule so well Fractional entered the Blue Island Invitational Tour- nament with high spirits. Their high spirits seemed to prevail as they barely took a fighting Morgan Park team 22-21 with Leader Thaldorf saving this game with a near impossible hook shot. With Chuck Doe getting 3 long shots in succes- sion and Litzan scoring from all over, the team went out and nailed Lindbloom 27-25. With Eddie Litzan making 13 free throws to help him pile up 25 points for a new tournament record our boys whipped Calumet of Chicago 38-35 to gain a berth in the finals. In the final game of the tournament T. F. got a lead early in the game and held it at the half 17- 14. This lead was being cut down slowly by Tilden Tech of Chicago until they were ahead 25-24. With about three minutes left to play Hubert Zelesky came down side for a hook shot that put us ahead 26-25. At the middle of the fourth quarter Chuck Doe fouled out and Jim Coffman came into the game and successfully helped the team stall for two minutes to take the tournament 26-25. Captain Eddie Litzan . . . Junior . . . Centex' or im'- ward. Eddie broke all kinds of league records when he scored 23 points in one game during the season, 25 points in one tournament game, and 60 points in four tournament games. Eddie was a fine leader with plenty of defensive ability to offset his scoring. Bud Thompson . . . Senior . . . Forward. Bud was FRESHMAN BASKETBALL ' Slum1'ir1,g: Coach Pctrcc, Dick Eby, Wil- liam Archer, Paul Ferrontelle, Slierm Stoll, Roy Carrubba.

Eddie Litzan Bollom row: Teddy Kunka, Bud Thomp' the reason for all of Eddie Litzan's scoring. Litzan made points but Thompson fed him the ball. Bud was the fastest man on the team and also the most indefatigable. Bud is a graduating senior and will be sorely missed. Hubert Zeke Zelesley . . . Senior . . . Guard. Zeke was the coolest man of the team. His long shots were responsible for the breaking up of many a game. Zeke was an expert on defense and could always be relied upon. Chuck Doe . . . Senior . . . Guard. Chuck was rewarded for many long practices by playing regular this year. He showed his gratitude by being one of the most aggressive men on the squad. Ohiuck could sink those lo-ng shots and was always taking rebounds to give the balll to our men. Chuck is another gradu- ating senior who will be hard to replace. Leader Thaldorf . . . Senior . . . Forward. Although he never scored up in the points, Leader was the other point getter. He rated second to Litzan in point getting. His defensive ability also made him sparkle. Leader, too, is one of the graduating seniors that we will sorely miss. Mack Budzowski . . . Sophomore . . . Guard. Mackey was always ready, willing and able. He was a very versatile player, being able to play guard, center or forward when needed. A big boy as lightweights go, Mack needs a little experience to be a first class player. Theodore Kunka . . . Junior . . . Guard. Teeter was another reserve who could play any position an! do it well. Teddy was sent into the game, not to make points, but to control the ball, a job which he did very well. Special mention should also go to Jim Coffman, john Cipolla, Art Ollrich, Russel Buhring, and john Pank for their hard practice and long hours. Manager Ray Manuszak proved himself very efhcient, being in the right place at the right time. Although this was Mr. Kiester's 13th year of coaching in T. F., it was certainly not his unluckiest. He came through with another championship team, perhaps T. F.'s greatest.

He never lost a battle, and at one time, he controlled all of the civilized world. Mr. Elvin pauses for breath' and lets his gaze wander around the room. It fthe gazej lights upon Pat Leonard who is looking at him with a rapt expres- sionsion on her face. Ah, beams Mr. Elvin, there is a girl who really likes ancient history. But would he blush with morti- fication if he shouald know what she is thinking. For Miss Leonard is wondering whether those nice white teeth are really his - or his dentist's! !! The sixth period rolls around and we go across to room 116. Mr. MePhail is just finishing a discourse on the life of Julius Caesar. As he has been talking for about forty- five minutes, his students are some- what tired. He has explained all Caesar's important conquests and is just now finishing. Caesar may join the ranks of modern hairless politicians for he was as bald as a billiard ball. Some days later Joe Terre asks Jabo Jablonski where Caesar was in 48 B. C. What does Jabo say? You guessed it! He replies, Well, uh- er-uh, well I know he was bald- headed. McPhai1 didn't tell us much more than that, did he?

Mrs. Canaga wouldn't argue about Hitler. Mr. Blanke had some new puns. It wouldn't rain on a football night. Mr. Elvin would let us sleep fifth period. The seats were a little softer. Richard Brown came to school on time. Mr. Young would give the girls a chance. Mr. Nelson would try to scare the seniors instead of the freshmen. We had to read only fiction books. We didn't have detention. A We could all sell magazine subscrip- tions. ' ' We'd all subscribe to the Thorn- tonian. We'd look good in our Claronoscope pictures. Mr. Allan wouldn't talk so loud. We'd have more assemblies. It wouldn't be so cold in the big Sym- NVe woudn't have any more errors in typing. No home work would be permitted. The water in the pool wouldn't be wet enough to rake the curl out of our hair. 3:35 would come sooner. Mr. Lambka would get a new joke. All the boys were football heroes. All the girls were beautiful. They served free food in the cafeteria.

Here we are reading mur- der stories. That MacBeth was a killer. Ha! Ha! That's a good pun. I think F11 contribute it to the Thorntonian. The only trouble is they probably Won't publish it.

Now, Margaret, I can explain everything. I didn't ditch inten- tionally yesterday, oh no!
