It is the youth of America who, free to attain whatever qoal it sets for itself, will determine the course of our country. We, therefore, study today that in the future the qov- ernment of the people, for the peo- ple, and by the people may con- tinue to mean not only such free- dom as is ours by Constitutional rights, but also that freedom of en- terprise and that freedom from Want and from fear which only an enlightened citizenry may enjoy. If Lil .Sie ow ,gl IMLJJ This is how our Way ot lite works. No matter who We are We have a chance in our democracy to express ourlindividuality and to achieve according to our abilities. Here in school, as in the larger life, rich and poor may rub shoul- ders in common interests, whether they be in clubs, in games, in journalistic eiiorts or in any other extracurricular activity. Never be- fore has playing together and working together been so import- ant. Here at T. F. it Works. No one is forced to participate, but every- one is welcome to do so, and it's what you do, not what you are, that counts. . if 3 HHH lllll As you go through this, your 1943 Chronoscope, you will see that it divides itself logically into two sections. ln the first section, Let's Think About It, you will see how the American system of education, which is the most vital factor in perpetuating our American Way of Life, functions here at Thornton Fractional in the hours from 8:35 to 3:34 during which we direct our thinking towards the social, economic, scientific, technical and cultural aspects of civilization. We learn what has been done, what must be done, and how to do it. Class pictures are naturally a part of this division. A t t In the second section Let's See How lt,Works you will see how the other .activities of the school carry out the principles we learn in the classroom and give us a chance to participate in the American Way of Life as well as to learn about it. Here belong the recognition of those who have earned special honors in activities of any sort. We have also placed here a few outstanding literary productions. Even our advertisers belong to this section, not only be- cause they represent American enterprise, but also because they represent faith in the achievement of our school. ' WWW llemucrac Ilules ln many countries the little secondary education offered is limited to that which the pol' itical and military leaders feel -Hui- will further their own selfish in- terests. Here in America, high school boys and girls study what the community wants them to learn, The citizens of our community express their desires through a board which they select to represent them. Two of the members of this board, George Hittle and lames Kelly are serving their country in the armed forces. Those appearing in the picture are: left to right, Andrew Klein, Edward Kuhlman, Albert Wahlgren, Where but in America could the superintendent of a large high school be affectionately dubbed HA. V., the warden, the chief, or the boss? Even in this country it wou1dn't be possible except in a democrat' ically managed school, for nicknames aren't granted to autocrats. Mr. Lockhart is mak- ing it possible for us to partici- l pate, as far as our experience and knowledge permits, in the operation of our school, but at the same time he does not al- low us to lose sight of the fact that rules are made, as are laws, with the good of the great- est number in mind, and that it is necessary to obey them. Thus he wisely leads us along the way to a better compre- hension of the American Way of Lifee-ea combination of in- dividual initiative and demo' so cratic control. A. V. LOCKHART I AMES LEONARD A great deal of the credit for the efficient functioning of the scholastic part of our educational experience goes to Asst. Supt. lames Leonard, for the burden of scheduling and programming falls to him. Although We probably aren't always grateful for it, We realize that Without routine our education would be chaotic, and so We really ap- preciate his work in keeping things run- ning smoothly and in helping each of us select those courses which will en- able us to get a maximum of good from our days at T. F. School Board, Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Dean of Girls, faculty, custodial force, and students-Where would any of us be Without Margaret and Dora -office girls supreme, who do the most exacting work con- nected With the school cheerfully and efficient- ly. Their duties are legion, not the least of which is to act as buffers when disagreements arise. They are both T, F. graduates and posi- tive proof that education here does prepare for effective living. 1 ANNA SCHMIDT Most of the credit for the social part of our education belongs to Miss Anna Schmidt, our Dean of Girls. lt's no easy thing to arrange assembly pro- grams, coordinate the Carnival activi- ties, organize those Thanksgiving bas- ket collections, care for the thousand and one details of sponsoring the Girls' Club, and watch over the Wel- fare of each girl. Miss Schmidt man- ages all of these tasks so Well that working with and for her constitutes valuable experience in our preparation for the future.

Sometimes we think We can't get along with them, and we know we couldn't get along without them. When we can't get a pink slip or do get a blue slip we don't like any of them, and when they stage an assembly as they did at Christmas we love them all. Seriously, we don't mind the discipline-it's good for us, and we are thankful to be in a country Where crabbing about our real and imagined troubles isn't considered treason. f L Those teachers of ours, tall and short, fat and thin, very pretty and some- what less so! Some order us to do our work: some ask us to do our work, some tell us we ought to do our work, some show us how and then let alone: and some say l..et's work together. Who are we is best? After all, isn't it a part of our for all types of to come in Contact the Very types We know as our faculty? types are missing. lt is men and women such as those who teach us here at Thornton Fractional who make up the backbone of the substantial citizenry of America. Our teachers'are Working harder than ever before, under tremendous strain, to help us understand the principles, the problems, the privileges, and the responsibilities of the American Way of Life. Their example will lead us on. Those teachers of ours.

We're Graduating Seniors now, and We remember the hubbub and flurried excitement that formerly was connected With commence- ment day-and then mark the quietly determined almost grim attitude of our classmates nowe-and We Wonder, This is graduation in War time. Normally, eager visualization of future plans would monopolize our conversationeplans of being placed in good jobs, or going on to university or business collegeedbut not now. Almost all of the boys in this year's graduating class look forward to being a part of one of our armed services in the near future, or to Working in some local War industry if that is Where the government thinks he is most needed. Some will help produce our food. No one is going to loaf. tiki J Mft The girls think seriously of joining the ranks of the countless numbers of women who have been given the opportunity of helping with our war effort, and have donned uniforms or overalls. There won't be any unemployment problem. So we see that, although we make our debut to the world-at-large in a slightly different manner than we might ordinarily have, we're really none the worse for it, for We are just be- ing given an early chance at doing our share to protect and preserve our way of life. This war which we have to fight has gone a long way toward strengthening and matur- ing us mentally. Perhaps we don't know a lot, but since that Sunday in December, l94l, growing up has become an important opportunity, not just an unpleasant task. We're optimisticfand realistic-enough to know that this universal battle can't last much longer: and, when it's finally over, we know that we shall have the tremendous re- sponsibility and privilege of helping to shape into being the kind of world worth living in. We're grateful to T. F. for the part it has played in fitting us for the tasks which lie ahead, and we are certain that in the future she will have reason to be proud of we gfacluafing add 0 f f J. 62.641-be Qiwfwof dz blip-1,v1uC'l CB M626 f,f4,6afM,A!

Yes, the juniors have really accomplished things this year. Getting off to a good start, they elected in the good old American fashion of petition and ballot, four officers and a coun- cil composed of ten members. The results show that they possess a lot of horse sense, for better leaders could not be found in any school. This year for the first time, the junior Class sponsored a Games of Skill concession at the Carnival, and this was just the beginning of many successful undertakings throughout the year. T Individually too, many juniors have done exceptionally Well. The script for the Carnival Was Written partly by juniors, and much of the talent in the final production came from the junior Class. On the side of sports, the junior athletic stars were vital cogs in the football and basketball teams. The G. A. C. juniors also have reason to puff-out their chests for they de- feated the seniors in volleyball. The most important part of school was not neglected either, since many junior names appeared regularly on the honor roll. Sitting, left to right: D. Sestakauckas, treas.g I. Stasiak, pres.: E.

Under Miss Schmidt's direction this undertaking has been a truly grecit achievement, and many girls have done their bit by giv- ing up time to do the work. Beth boys and girls have been gener- ous in their purchases-efor we know that sacrifices are neces- sary if we are to retain our American Way of Life.

THE BUYS' ClUB HflPS ACHilVf The Boy's Club got off to a slow start this year, but the board helped the Girls' Club in the Thanksgiving Basket Drive, had one of the most popular concessions at the carnival, helped with parties for the freshmen, and had a dandy dance. Next year we are determined to achieve much more. Boys' Club Officers and Board: CSittingl l. Staton, l. La Noue, W. Padjen, B. March, G. Dykhuisen, B. Kronke. lStand- ingl C. Green, D.

There is more than alphabetical significance in having the Girls' Club Board form a G for their picture. The open letter, with its vacant space Within, is symbolic of the fact that the Girls' Club is open to all girls and that there is a place in the club for each and every girl who wants to have a happy time being helpful to others and to her school. There is no club which does more work or has better times, and the Girls' Club Mothers' Day party and installation ceremony provides the most beautiful moment of the year for every Thornton Fractional girl. lt's one of those things that make us appreciate our Way of life.

The Radio Club was first under the direction of Miss Virginia Martin who left to do civilian instructor work for the army. lt is now in charge of Mr. Earl Davis and is carry- ing on. Every two weeks this group represents T. F. on a program over station WIOB. This is a real achievement, for which they may be justly proud, sinco every program has been a success. And did you see their melly drama at the Carnival? As entertainment becomes increasingly curtailed, such activities as those of the radio club will help us on. lt is splendid, too, to know that perhaps some day a knowledge of radio will be of inestimable value to some boy or girl when an emergency arises in connection with the activities of our nation at war.

PHIITUSIIAPHY Sllllt The Photography Club also lost its sponsor when Mr. Wilfred Stock enlisted in the army, but after a great deal of persuasion, secured Miss loslin to take his place. Wartime restrictions on photographic materials have hampered their efforts, but not their zeal nor their interest, for they know that some day when this thing called duration is over their hobby may be resumed. ln the meantime, perhaps the photographic skill of some boy may be turned to aerial photography or some other service to his country.

Glubll We now introduce the Terrapin Club. lt's a little hard to be serious about a club which has just plain fun as its avowed purpose, and yet when you get right down to it Terrapin membership involves a lot more than mere fun. Terrapin girls learn to play together, to help girls who aren't quite as expert as they are, and to take help from girls who are more expert. They learn to take it and they acquire physical starnina. They learn that wet, stringy hair isn't too important, and they learn that knowing what to do in the water may mean saving a life some day. They learn, in short, just what any club or athletic group in T. F. teachesw-that living together in a democracy involves a lot of give and take, a lot of fun and a lot of work. The Terrapin Club has learned these lessons and shows the results to a very great degree. ll. A. II. Enduring friendships, physical fitness, annd the acquisition of the traits of true sports- manship are the rewards of the girls who attain. membership in the Girls' Athletic Club. America is the only country in the World in which such privileges are granted to teen age girls.

A Sadie ' We have just paid honor to the members of the various school organizations, especially to that finest of all groups, the National Honor Society. We now salute our winners4-those who have not only achieved individual success, but who have also brought honor to ourschool. , ' I When We think of honor to our school, it is natural to think of our athletic teamsy, but ye salute 1 first those who have become members of ,the finest team in the World, the fighting forces of the'United States of America. More than one thousand former students of Thornton Fractional areout to help win the grim game for the survival of the ideals on which our American Way of Life is based. With the help of the God in whom our nation trusts, they, and theirgallant teammates from all over the World, shall achieve the victory. We honor second our athletic teams, which not only bring credit to our school, but also contribute to the national Welfare by giving splendid training in physical endurance and in fighting together. We honor also the boys and girls who represent us in forensic contests, impossible in lands Where free speech is denied. W .y M :, .gg new IIAIVIIVIAIIS A living example of our democratic Way of Life is to be found in the heterogeneity of this group of officers: Capt. lames Kelly '20 and member of school board l938fg Lt. Walter lohnston '33g Petty Officer Walter Demsey '28 and member of the school board l936-435 Lt. Frank Hollis '36g Major George Hittle, teacher from 1931-36 and school board member l94lAg Lt. William Nowak '37p Lt. Lawrence Luce, teacher l938---5 Lt. Eugene Kowalski '4Oy Lt. Edward Pressig '35, Lt. Iohn Nagy ex '34g Ensign Henry Potts, teacher l938-. These officers represent only a small fraction of the boys and men previously connected with T. E. who have received commissions and non-commissioned ratings. A few of the others who have been brought to our attention are: Matthew Waskelo, Iohn O'Connor, Nick Padjen, Vincent Mack, William Gutowski, Rex Dunfee, Leon Berger, Donald Frey and Keith Howmiller among our students, and Aitken Young, Frank Allen, Wilfred Stock, and Henry Legg among the teachers. We are extremely proud, too, of our many non-commis- sioned officers such as the Schab brothers and others in the army, navy and marines and wish we had room for all their pictures as well as those of the hundreds of privates which T. F. has sent to all branches of the service including the WAVES and the WAAC. We hope you'll keep the complete list of names which was published in the Thorntonian. Amunlzs Time after time We read about the necessity for more adequate physical training of the boys who will enter the armed services. T. F. boys don't need a better training program because we have everything-gym classes, swimming classes, commando training, and all types of competitive sports. Fuel oil and gas rationing meant the curtailment of lightweight basketball, Wrestling, swimming, and some of the spring sports, but intra-mural contests gave everyone who wanted activity a chance at it. There's something about a rooting-tooting crowd watching two elevens tangle under the lights on a crisp October evening or yelling itself hoarse as ten boys chase up and down a basketball floor that's peculiarly American. When the band plays fthe 'fStar- Spangled Banner and a hilarious crowd comes to its feet as one man and pays tribute to our country in reverent silence or in song, we know that the ideals of sportsmanship, team play, and loyalty which have been inculcated through participation and through watching athletic contests have been truly worth. while. There's something spine-tingling, too, in watching healthy, happy, boys engaging in individual contests such as those in intra-mural boxing and wrestling and in swimming and the track sports, trying hard to win, but acknowledging defeat with congratulations to the better fellow. Somehow we know that when the going gets tough and our classmates meet more relentless foes, the lessons they have learned in taking it here at T. F. will enable them to see sterner contests through to the bitter end. Some boy who has learned how to defend himself in sport may, perhaps, meet a lad from Germany or lapan in hand- to-hand combat. We know who'll win that scrap! Wouldn't it be great if before long the nations of the world would confine their fighting to the Olympics and similar contests? To the administrators of the school, to all our coaching staff, and to the citizens whose taxes make our athletic program possible We boys and girls, participants and spectators, say thank you for the opportunity of engaging in this phase of our American Way of Life. fn, Y, , , I 1 31' fwff' 1' ..

Three of the seniors, Co-Captain Ed Kuhlman, guard, Co-Captain Ted Pietrzck, end: and lack LaNoue, quarterback, were placed on the South Suburban Con- ference first team.

The ability and interest are as great as ever as attested by the tact that we took first place in the Hammond Speech Meet, second in the lnvitational Speech Meet held at Central Y. M. C. A. and second in the Sectional Meet at West Aurora.

Roberta Roley is a plucky little freshman Who was injured in an automobile accident four years ago and isn't yet able to attend classes. She is being tutored by Mr. Lambka and Miss Dempkowski and is doing excellent Work. She's a real T. F. booster. 2. Carl Scicatano and lack Miller have done their senior year the hard Way and missed most of the fun, because they have held down full time jobs and done their school Work by tutoring With Mrs. Garrett. 3. One of the reasons this book came out on time was because Dolores Miller took so many of her study periods to type on it. Dolores was appointed editor, but gave up the honor for less spectacular but equally important Work as band librarian. 4. Abby Alys Abblett Won the D. A. R. award which is probably the outstanding award a high school girl can receive. 5. Especial praise should be given to the large number of boys and girls who help support themselves and their families by working out of school hours. They have the stuff real Americans are made of. 5. We must give considerable honor also to the boys and girls who go to Harvey every afternoon and evening to learn Welding. Of course, they are learning and earning, but they will be able to help in national defense. 7. When the fresh vegetables begin to come in, We'll all be grateful to the boys and girls who Work on farms before and after school. A 8 We must also give thanks and honor to that hard Working group in the Cafeteria who make our noon meals possible. 9. When honors are being passed out We mustn't forget Barney, Charley and Nick Who are the fixer-uppers around here and the ones who keep us comfortable. The cleaning Women should be remembered too. Wt MSU lIAll Allt THIN lil: Those T. F. whizzes who battled Amundsen to a tie in the Young America Answers program on WBBM. They are seniors, Barbara Gilbreath and Ianet Searles, and junior Gordon Bufiington. If you want to know an answer, ask them. Have you ever noticed those T. F. pins the girls wear? You don't just buy them, for they represent hours of service to the school and loyal attendance at school functions. Senior girls who earned the coveted awards are: Abby Alys Abblett, Dolores Bogacz, Bette Buhring, Marie Cole, Anna Cwetna, Ianet Fulker, Barbara Gilbreath, Gertrude Graczyk, Thelma Hoggatt, Buth lanich, Florence Lynn, Eileen McLaughlin, Bernice Magdziak, Catherine Mangiarcina, Phyllis Nordaker, Marjorie Nowak, Dorothy Ostrander, Virginia Plys, Nadine Perdue, Dorothy Mazer, Marion Schutz, Ianet Searles, Evelyn Severin, Doris Siegrist, Elaine Stahl, Norma Urbanski, Angeline Vitale, Dorothy Wollett, Anne Winiarczyk, Betty lane Weaver, Bella Rex, Mary Kovach, Bose Denenburg, leanette Klein, Bose Marie Murray, Alma Garland, Delores Miller, Iune Oberla, Dolores Wartman, Phyllis Alward, Lois Cederholm, Marguerite Gloger, Beryl Lochte. And last we bring to your attention the Monogram Monitors who have made our orderly dismissals from assembly possible. The first semester monitors were: Bill Freyman, Don Zimmerman, Iocko LaNoue, Shorty Kuhlman, George Dockweiler, and Wally Cosgrove. The second semester the following boys took over: lim Staton, Bob Kmak, Herman Baxter, Bob March, Eddie Iarosz, and Connie Pochron. Plllllllltlllll S Altf WIIIHH WHIlf Freedom of the press is one of the priceless heritages of the American Way of Life. Of course a school paper can't enjoy quite as much liberty as a metropolitan newspaper, but in most respects the Thorntonicm and Chronoscope are truly free We try, however, out of consideration for the varied beliefs of the students and their parents, to avoid all political and religious questions and to limit our columns to school news, educational and inspira- tional articles, and humorous comment about students. Publication work is difficult and time consuming, and sometimes it's exasperating, but it's interesting and a lot of fun as well as being an education in itself. Those of us who are staff members, and who want to be staff members next year, feel that our efforts con- tribute quite a little to the spirit of the school. We point with special pride this year to our extra issue commemorating Pearl Harbor, to our goofy April Fool's edition, and to the fact that this book is OUT ON TIME. We regret that quotas didn't permit us to have a few more pictures, that the unavoid- able postponement of the junior and senior plays prevented us from having news of them in the Chronoscope, and that Teen had to be reduced to the story and poetry included in this book, but these are our only regrets. We've had a grand year working together, and we hope you've enjoyed reading the publications as much as we've enjoyed preparing them. Doc, Miss McKeehan to everyone but the journalism gang, came to the rescue of the publications which Miss Moe dropped after thirteen years of loyal advising. Doc is absolutely O.

HAD llll GMS ll KATHLEEN CALLAHAN Unconscious of the angry horns swirling around her, Liz crossed the busy intersection slowly. She was in a daze, in a world of her own. Her mind reflected every event she had known with Gil. It was just like a movie revealing scene after scene of tragedy, love, ioy. Only her life had been real. .There was no waiting for the last scene so she could turn confidently and say, l could have told you it would end this way. No, her heart screamed madly, you can't rely on anything! y A train roared overhead as Liz walked through the tunnel. She and Gil had taken a train to New York on their honeymoon. Funny how everyone seemed to know they were newly-weds. A smile spread over her face as she remembered Gil telling a wide-eyed porter that they were grandparents and to keep away from their compartment because they had just slain a minister, and police from four states were on their trail. lt wasn't so funny though when the porter sent word ahead to the sheriff at the next stop along the way, and they had to spend the first night of their marriage in a dingy country jail. Rounding the corner she walked east, through the park. Reaching the beach she turned left, stumbled through the sand to the barbecue pits, and climbed the rocks out to the point. Liz had nearly reached her destination. She stopped and clutched tighter the envelope in the pocket of her reefer. She had to make sure it was still there, even if she hadn't taken her hand away from it since she left the house. Carefully Liz slipped part way down the incline. lt wassteep and one mis-step meant meeting the grasping, icy waves which greedily beat the logs supporting the rocks. Time, with the help of these waves, had shaped a cave-like mound of some of these boulders. ln recent years, for some reason or other, the water hadn't been able to reach this spot, and an overhanging ledge kept it cozy and dry. This was Liz's hide-away. Ever since she was a little girl she had come here. lt was a rather isolated place except for the coast guard station down the road a way, so no one ever bothered her there . ln times of intense happiness, it was a hangout where she could write or read or just dream unmolested. In times of stress, it was a refuge where the waves drowned out her bitterness or suffering with their boastful blasting at the rocks. Always she felt refreshed when she left her rocky haven. Now, even though it was cold and had begun to snow, her spot was protected from the wind and the ledge kept her dry. For a while Liz just sat there-recalling Gil's enthusiasm when she had taken him to her den as she called it. lt was the night after she had agreed to marry him, and Liz's eyes grew misty as she remembered his pleased look when she explained that he was the first person she had ever shown her cavre. And the time they had their first quarrel! She had been doing the supper dishes when Gil fell asleep in the arm-chair in the parlor, and his cigarette burned a hole in the chintz chair coverings. She had just finished making them that day and was furious over his carelessness. Finally Gil stalked out of the house and Liz mixed her tears with the dishwater. She tried to read, holding the book upside downp she turned on the radio, but her favorite comedian only irked tonight. Liz couldn't stand it when an orchestra began playing their song. Grabbing her jacket from the closet, Liz practically ran to the park. The waves sobbed with her as she stumbled into her hideaway-only to find Gil there too. How long they sat there watching the ships on the lake, she didn't knowp they were both too happy to have forgiven each other to worry about a trival thing like time. Both apologized profusely, each ashamed of his part in the quarrel. On the way home they stopped for ice cream, and never had Liz tasEd a better soda since. With a sigh, Liz removed the letter from her pocket. She knew it by heart already, but opening it again seemed to help somehow. The approaching twilight, or was it her tears, made reading difficult. Because she was alone, and because the waves thundred over her voice, Liz read aloud a portion of the letter. Dearest, it began simply, l guess this is it. This is the remote possibility we con- sidered tl're rnight before l enlisted. Remember, 'we 'said it w0uldn't happen but that if it did we both would face it bravely? It will be harder for you, dear, because for me it will soon be over. You won't blame me, l know when l tell you that I couldn't possibly live at peace with myself if l didn't do this. Life would be futile if I shirked such an opportu- nity. Liz, darling, we leave immediately-five of us. We know we are a suicide squad. There isn't a chance in the world that we will come back-we don't want to come back, for if we do, it will mean that we've failed. We weren't forced to do this, the skipper asked for volunteers. Liz, l thought of you, and of little Bobby, and l knew that you wouldn't want a coward as a husband and father. Believe me, Liz, when l raised my hand, I knew l was right, knowing that the rest felt that way too, helped. You would have been proud of our squadron, Darling, for, to a man, they all volunteered. We drew lots and l was fortunate, but when you read of our success twe hopel you'll know why I say that. l'm writing and telling you this because the papers and radio won't be allowed to give out the news for a long time. They're nearly ready for me. l'll have to leave now. Kiss Bobby for me and tell him l love him very much. Goodbye, my dearest. GIL. Liz folded the letter carefully and put it back in her pocket. No, she couldn't make her- self believe that Gil had been unfair to her and Bobby by his attitude toward volunteering for dangerous duty. She felt as he did about it. But it was hard to take-to know that she'd never again see his teasing grin-snever see him swing Bobby into the air and hug him lovingly as he came down. Never again--1, What's the use? she thought bitterly. Swinging hurriedly to her feet she was a little angry at her grief. ln her annoyance she slipped as she began clamboring up the rocks. She slid down the incline, hitting the water which almost numbed her. lt stung her eyes as she unconsciously forced herself above the surface. Breathing heavily, Liz treaded water for a while. Suddenly an idea struck her. Why not let the waves swallow her up? What was life without Gil? lf she drowned she could be with Gil forever. Forever-what a pleasant thought. As she let herself sink, Liz was contented for the first time since receiving Gil's letter. No need to Worry over Bobby. Her mother would take good care of him. BobbyfBobby, what was it Gil had said about him? Her dulled senses strained to remember. Oh yes, Gil had written Bobby Wouldn't want a coward for a father! l knew l was right for doing my duty! I Coward-dutyf coward-coward-what am I doing, Liz thought hysterically? l have no right to fail Gil, to desert Bobby! I I DutyJGil didn't shirk his duty! Those other men-they wanted to do their duty. What about the other wives and children? Had they reacted as she had? No, of course not, they weren't cowards! Gil said l was brave! Whathave l done? Oh, dear God, please help me! I Pull me out of this! Don't let me sleep. Please. With a final mighty effort, Liz succeeded in pushing herself up over the waves. Feebly she called for help. Oh God, please, please l won't fail you again, if you'll just let me out of here. Bobby will be waiting for me at kindergarten! I l'le'll be afraid, because l've always been there to bring him home. lt's nearly dark! The poor child will be terrified! Liz awakened in a white room. She sat'up immediately! How long have l been here? Where am I? she demanded. A white-coated doctor turned at her insisting voice. He smiled kindly. You're at the Coast Guard Station, Mrs. Doully. You're quite safe, you just need rest. Bobby, where's Bobby, Liz felt tired, but she had to know before she went to sleep. Bring the boy in. The doctor had spoken softly to someone outside the room. At his words, Bobby bounded in followed by Liz's mother. , Mommy, Mommy, is you all right? Bobby was reassured by her smile. Where,-how-mother, how did you know l was here? asked Liz. l stopped at your place on my way home from town and met a policeman at your door, explained her mother. When he told me what had happened, l picked Bobby up at kindergarten and came right over. Bobby - l wasn't 'fraid, Mommy! Honestly l wasn't. Bobby's voice and eyes pleaded with her to believe him. I was a brave soldier, just like Daddy. Yes, Darling. Liz gathered him into her arms. Yes, she whispered. Brave,-just like your Daddy! THE END CAR WM IIAPERS OI' l The Lighter Side of Life This has been an unusually seri ous yearbook because our theme is one which calls tor sober thinking, but the American Way ot Life isn't all serious and, in a much brighter vain, we now review Once in a Life Time -H-that carnival of carni- vals. The peculiar thing about the whole thing is that the carnival, which was so much fun, is a grand example ot the functioning of our way of livinq. For weeks there was plenty of hard work. Teachers and students co-operated l00 per cent in getting ready for the big night. The results were better pupil-teacher un- derstanding, entertainment tor nearly 3,000 people, and funds to provide an assembly program, to help supe port the publications, and to help Boys' and Girls' Clubs carry on their work.

As I sat there listening to Mickey Isleys' music, I began to think back about the wonderful stage show. I don't think I'll ever forget Angie's Summer Time, David Drury's Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, Violette Panayotovich's Chloe, and Bill SteWart's Neath the Southern Moon all packed into one act. Of course, Hob Barker and Phyll Harle added romance and color. Wasn't Phyll pretty? Mary Alice Carroll's fortune telling was super duper too. The Pickannies, leanette Mills, Tom Voss, Elaine lanes and Leonard Gill, were good for a big laugh and, perhaps best of all the Maypole Dancers, Shirley Bertram, Cyn- thia Clark, Thelma I-Ioggatt, Annette Goyke, Lor- raine Wartman, Ioann Felsecker, Shirley Labas, Ioan I-Iayes, Margie Lutz, Dorothy Ostrander, and Isabelle Hendersen, swung it grace- fully as the Meistersingers sung it so softly. The second act brought us up to the Gay Nineties Where We heard Betty Lorenz sing Melancholy Baby, and saw Gordon l-lagdohl as the goofy Man On the Flying Trapeze, little Linky as the Lite-Guard, and dances by Shirley Labas, Yvonne Breclaw, leanette Mills, and Rita Wright. Our football heroes touched everybody's funny bone when they strolled out and went into their dance.

Oh, tor the good old days! l especially liked the second verse in which Abby and Eileen told Bobby what they thought ot bicycle honeyrnoons. 6'llAISY We hit a patriotic note in the third act at Grandma's birthday party as Phyllis Nordalcer, Doris Becker and Lila Mae Winterhoit sang Three Little Sisters and Don Zimmerman, lack LaNoue, and Leonard Hasiak took the parts ol the soldier, sailor, and marine. ln this act Shorty Kuhlman acted as the Master of Ceremonies in a night club and introduced Barbara Gilbreath and Gordon Buttington's Met Her On Monday, and Mildred Hybiak as she sang He Wears A Pair ot Silver Wings to Don Parker. As Barb and Butt sang Met Her On Monday Dee Bentner, Eileen Murrin and Norma Nashlcoti danced. There was an acro- batic dance by Isabelle Henderson, and our famous Double Sextet sang Bio Rita . The best thing was Grand- ma and Grandpa portrayed by Thias Chipps and Hob Barker, who after seeing those fast steppin' jitterbugs Bob McKinnon and Betty Bentner, join- ed in with the group of jitterbugs, which was made up ot Bob March, leanette Mills, Annette Goyke, Leonard Gill, Mary Elaine lones and Gordon Butfing- ton. kiwi zi A ?:wf7.zA TQ :,+. f After this slow and dreamy number, Elaine Stahl popped up and sang Pennsylvania Polka. Those who polka-ed to the music in bright, authentic costumes were Ioan Strand, Charlene Zelzer, Gail Hill, Edna Mazer, Bob Shipreck, Irving Weinberg, Norman Lange, and David Drury. Never shall l forget those head waiters and tour waitresses as they put on their clever skit. The krazy Waiters Were Bob McKinnon and Bob Kroncke and the tour tip-Collectors were Marilou Carroll, Pat Laureman, Kathryn Boglarsky and Grace Tones. 98 Some ot the beauties ot T. E. really showed their stuff in the String of Pearls dance which was dedicated to Grandma CThiasl Chippsl by Grand- pa Cl'lob Barkerl on their anniversary. Against a dark background those White and silver costumes really looked stun- ning. Those Who made up the beauti- tul string were Eileen Murrin, Florence Lynn, Delores Bentner, Sarah Rider, Phyllis Ecklund, Dorothy Woiick, Mary Dluzak, Lorraine Miller, Lois Knott and Barbara Gilbreath. This paqe is left blank for you to write in the cast and your own comments on the play---or cut the articles from the Thorntonion. Because of the clif- ticulty of securing heating oil, the play came too late this year for inclusion.

Of course you know it by heartvbut just hum through it once and, as you do, you'll be even more thankful, for our American Way of Life . O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber Waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain. America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.- O beautiful for pilgrim feet whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilderness. America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law. O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life. America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness and every gain divine. O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimm'd by human tears. America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea. Your 1943 Chronoscope has conie to a close.
