We hope you won't feel hurt that your picture isn't included 'cause we couldn't use all your pictures even ii we had them. These were selected from those received the earliest be' cause they represent all three branches ot serviceg because they represent all three townsg and because land this is a mighty good reason? they looked as it they'd reduce and enqrave well. We are purposely omitting ratings since they'll probably be higher before you get the book. Yours till we can see you instead oi a picture, The Stall. 5 ' '53- lvh'V5FFT- 'i.nf'3 Q 'fwom parm gm Dear fellow students, . Each year the senior class, the journalism, department, and the Chronoscope staff in particular is faced with the problem of finding a theme for the yearbook, This year our theme was handed to us, on a silver platter in the form of scores of requests from the fellows who aren't hanging around here anymore, and so we're call- ing this our V. . .- Mail Edition, as you've probably discovered if you're not blind. Our big trouble to get enough material to make a book of any sort, but we finally made it by glass plate insteafl of film wherever we could and cutting down on engraving by Eyhaving small in many cases. Last year we had very dignified' theme. This year our keynote is informality, and we don't want anybody to think that our flippant treatment of most things is meant to detract in any way from the grand job every organization has done in 43-44. Let's have just one ,serious thought before we get going on the fun. The number of gold stars on our seryice flag is growing so fast that we're not even listing the boys who have earned them for fear that byflune there will be others, and we wouldn't want any memorial to be incomplete. Lefs: remember, though, that for the gold star boys, and the blue star boys too, school days are over and let's try to appreciate our good fortune in being here-and in having a Chronoscope to record our happy hours.

L. W. Luce, Educational Officer U. S. Naval Training Station Richmond, Virginia Dear Larry: Perhaps a word from your old school will please you. Our enrollment is off about ten percent. Senior girls have the boys out- numbered more than two to one, A lot of seniors are in the armed forces. Patriotism has taken a priority over education. Many of the hundreds of former students have brought honor to our school and to themselves. The number serving as com- missioned and non-commissoined officers is very gratifying. My interest is heightened because my own son, Leonard, is now train- ing with the pilot. Our stude tack on the the rest of the with victory. spot of gol: old to swing hope of becoming an army nts really are backing the at- home front so that you and boys can come home crowned Make it soon, as l want ct f with you before l become too a club. Cordially, A. V. Lockhart. s., you may be! Greetings, We have always thought that our T. F. athletes and band members looked nicer than any others in their uniforms and that our boys and girls were the friend- liest in the region. And now that so many of you are in the service, we feel that you are still the handsomest ones we know. When you come over to T. F. to say hello, we are mighty proud of you. We're anxiously awaiting the day when you come back to make up our overflow crowds at Carnivals and the en- thusiastic cheering sections at our games. Most sincerely, Anna Schmidt. At the left is our own Dean Schmidt, and at the right is that champion straightener-outer, Principal lim Leonard. Both have messages for us, To the Class of l944, Throughout the course of history there appear epochs in man's progress. lt is often difficult to recognize the ending of one stage and the beginning of another, but it appears that we lie at the threshold of a great new epoch. The members of the Class of l944, un- like the lost generation of 20 years ago, know that there is a definite place for them in the world's work. First, there is a war to be won after the war has been Won, a real peace must be achieved. This class must remember that a real peace requires something posi- tive, lt requires constant thought and effort, and above all it requires tolerance. No group, race, or nation is safe unless all groups, races, and nations are safe. lames H. Leonard From our ever cheerful office gals COITlG p Greeting to YOU in the service, wherever While you are away having many new experiences and adventures, things here at T. F. are moving along fairly well on schedule. Yes, there have been changes since you left, but along with the changes each year, many things remain the same eyou still need an excuse slip for the day you were needed at home twe believed youl and invitations are still issued for that party which is held from 3:40 to 4:30 daily. Even though our visit with you may be confined to a few minutes, we are al- ways happy when you take time from your precious furlough and stop in to visit your Alma Mater. Stop in to see us the next time you have a leave or furlough, won't you? BC'n U, Margaret and Dora Dear Tony, You were always such an expert apple polisher that l'm sure you'll like this picture ot our teachers. When all's said and done they're a darned good gang to know. You'll note a lot ot new faces. That's partly because Coach Young, Mr. Stock, Mr. Kingdom, and Mr. Legg are in the army and Mr. Potts and Mr. Luce are in the Navy. Two of the bunch aren't in the picture. Mr. Fedosky Wasn't around when the picture was snapped ibut he's with some ot the athletic snaps? and Mr. Russell didn't come until the second semester. There's a picture ot him alone. We'll label the gang just in case you could have forgotten. Standing lelt to right: First Row: Miss Mclieehan, Miss Temple, Miss Etter, Miss Iaacks, Mrs. Theodore, Mrs. Zygmunt, Miss K, Bmzzil. Second Row: Mr. Kiester, Miss H. Brazzill, Miss Merkoifer, Miss Schmidt, Miss Ihrig, Miss Moe, Mis. Canugfx, Mrs. Brown, Miss Spelbring. Third Row: Mr. Smith, Mr. Leonard, Miss Lynch, Miss Shemaitis, Miss Slocum, Miss Kessinqer, Miss McBriar, Mr. Christian. Fourth Row: Mr. Margrave, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Schulke, Mr. Elvin, Mrs. Garett, Mr. Petree, Mr. Lambkn, Mr. Davis. There they are, and I tor one am willing to bet there's not a better faculty to be found. l'll also bet you'll be the only gob in the Navy with that sort ot picture for a Pin-Up. Oodles ot good wishes, Ed. Y . 1 ' il of t If I A x l ' l I 1 , . Dear Lug, Here it comes-the senior section! We've waited four long years to get our pics on these pages, but crumb, now that the time has come, We wish we were frosh again. lsn't that dumb? Still, I guess you felt that way last year too. From the day we entered T. F. our class has been tops, CWho's braggin'?FWell, why shouldnt l?l The war sort of mixed us up for a while, but in spite of chaotic con- ditions we're doing all right. What's the use of spouting off about our achievements Cinclividual and collectivel, as long as you've known us for three years and can tell from our pics and our activities that we're the cat's pajamas. Our class does have one claim to originality.

Don't you wish you were back run- ning around with a gang like this? When a junior writes a poem like this about sopho- mores, they must be O. K. SOPHCQMCDRES Oscar Spincller They're not quite he d rp an not quite green, Some are fat and some are lean Their manners are crude and their actions are rough, But they'll pull through, cause they're made ot good stutt. Now some are corny, and some are keen, Some come to school when their necks aren't clean: But we aren't worrying, 'cause they're learning fast, For they're our up and coming Sophomore Class.

Danny Sestauckcxs Right- Managers Henry Zelewski , Leonard Totske I-li Fellow: Well pal here is what our football team did this year, sorry you didn't get to see the games this year, but l guess you are doing a bigger job in the Navy. We started the season in good style by defeating Hammond Tech 26-O. The fellows were really on their toes, intercepted two passes and ran them back for touchdowns. Eddie Non- dorf went 60 yards to score on one touchdown run. A swell game! Our second game was with Kankakee, our first league game. ltwasa tough, fast game with no score until the final quarter when Hasiak blocked a punt. Then Eddie tossed a pass to Pete Pyrz who went over standing up from the 7yd .line. Final score 6-U. The game with Blue Island was our downfall. We just couldn't get started, Blue Island won for the first time in seventeen years. It was a good game with two good teams. Because we lost to Blue Island, we were the underdogs in the Harvey game. Harvey had a good, big team, but we were out for revenge because of last year's 19-8 defeat. We scored in the second quarter when Eddie Nondorf tossed a beautiful ball to Bob McKinnon. Mike Nagy went over from the 10 yd. line on the next three plays, Danny Sestak kicked the extra point. After that we held the Flying Clouds until the gun went of'f. Next we played a fast, determined Bloom team. We playedafine defensive game, but it wasn't quite good enough to stop Bloom's fast backs. They scored twice to beat us 12-0. It wasn't a disgrace to be beaten by Bloom because they have a swell team this year. Coach Petree booked a game with the Chicago Vocational High School and we played to a scoreless tie the week after the Bloom game. The line did a bang-up job in this game. They allowed Vocational only 56 scrimmage yards. Buck Pomilia and Big lohn Heino turned in a whale of a job, but they always did that, VARSITY Top Row-left to right: S. Pyrz. W. Padien, L.

Lemkher. Our last league game was with Argo. By defeating them 7-U, we made our league rec- ord 3 wins and 2 deieatsf fa tie for second place. Argo started out like mad when they blocked our first punt and recovered on our 12 yd. line, but the line got down to work and on Argos first play we smothered their passer and got the ball back, There was no score until the last quarter when Ed Nondorf threw another swell pass to Bob McKinnon. Danny Sestak again kicked the point. This game marked Coach Petree's lOOth win. He sure has a swell record for his l7 years at T, F. The last game of the season was against Catholic Central, It looked as if it were going to be a close game when the half ended with the score 6-6. Then the guys got going and went to town. In the second half we scored 20 points while holding Central scoreless. Final T. F. 26, C. C. 6. We placed three fellows on all South Suburban. They were Danny Sestak on the first team and Ed Nondorf and Buck Pomlia on the second team. They're swell guys with plenty of football ability, but the rest of the bunch is ok, too. Qur record for the season was 5 wins, 2 defeats, and l tie. Hope it isn't long before we all get together cheering again, Sincerely, Bud. MIKE NAGY is a senior. He played fullback and was co-captain. Mike never failed to pick up at least a couple of yards. GEORGE SARROS is only a sophomore, but he showed his ability as guard many times. He'll be back next year bigger and better. IOHN HEINO is a junior tackle from Ironwood, Mich. He's big and tough and did a lot in every game. He'll be back next year if the army doesn't get him. WILLIE PADIEN, our senior center, is a swell player with plenty of ability. He played his heart out in every game and played for ke eps all the time, TOM POCHRON, a junior and a left halfback is always dependable. He did a whale of a job in the Harvey game and will be back next year. LEN HASIAK, a junior tackle is a big fellow with a lot of football in his blood He'll be a big help next year. IOE BUCK POMILIA is a junior guard He's big and tough. He made the all South Su- burban second team. He's a fine guard and is next year's cocaptain. BOB MCKINNON is a speedy senior halfback from Thornton of Harvey, His biggest thrill was when he helped beat his old teammates from Harvey. MARIO AGOSTA is a good punter. He's a big, fast fullback who still has two years to play. He'll be valuable. WALTER KASZAK is another willing sophomore who did a good job as end, and will be back heavier and better next year. CARL MERLO, one of the junior halfbacks, is the best blocker on the team. He has lots of ability and always does a dandy job, PETE PYRZ is a senior halfback. He is small but fast and was sorely missed when he hurt his ankle.. ED NONDORF is our quarterback. He's only a junior but he made the all South Suburban second team. He's a peach of a passer and runner and always called the right play. DANNY SESTAKAUCAS, a senior, made the all South Suburban first team end. He's a first class kicker and punter. Big, tough, good natured Danny will be hard to replace. BOB HEIMBUCK is a tough junior center with plenty of ability and spirit. He is always dependable so he was chosen next year's co-captain. ERWIN GLEIM is a small but tough and aggressive end who always filled his position well. He's another senior who will be hard to replace. E . u. FRCDSI-l-SCDPI-l TEAM Top Row, left to right: Emmet Miller, Bob Shephard, Orval Dockweiler, Eugene Underwood, Hebert Davis, Tom Stokes. Row 2-Manager Vincent Kuzdrowski, Buddy Mills, Wayne Christensen, Eugene Duda, Phil Mangracina, Alvin Woollard, Coach Ed Fedosky. How 3-Don Anderson, Ray Litzen, Bob Moore, Richard Elsner, Oscar Padien, Roy Ianich. Row 4-Bob Heath, Walter Seiia, George Oakley, Robert Mauch, Richard Grillian, Donald Rex. Row 5-Ronald Hirtz, Roger Pranski, Bill Molnar, Ed Fedosky, Dan Scharladh, Donald Callahan. Although the freshman-sophomore team dldn't turn in such a good record, they did show a lot of good material. Fellows like Tommy Stokes, Ed Fedosky, Red Underwood, and Orville Dockweiler are sure to make good varsity men next year, The Frosh-Soph team only won 2 and lost 4, but they were in there pitching all the time. Every game was really a battle with fellows like Buddy Mills, Phil Mangiarcina and Bob Moore, who were always doing a whale of a job. Most of these fellows are backs, but in Enimitt Miller and Bob Davis, there is a lot of football ability, and one cannot leave out fullback Ed Breese, who did a swell job. The whole squad will be back next year, bigger and heavier, and with a year of experience under their belts. mm, awww Greetings Sailor, You've been awfully patient about waiting for the low-down on basketballfand here goes: Although the team didn't come out on top of the league, it is still tops with us in many respects. The fellows had what it takes to make a fine team, and they used their ability, too. Their record against the Hammond teams speaks for itself. The out- standing victory of the season was over George Rogers Clark. The Meteors were the underdogs, but really put on a show and beat Clark whose team was rated as Indiana's second best squad at the time. We also beat Hammond High which won the sectional championship. Here's the team that won the Hammond City Cham- pionshipf' L to R First Row-Miniuk, Telechon, Zelewski, Caru- so, Coach Kiester, Rog- ers, Sestakauckas, Second Row--'Manager Ma- :ieiewski, Gullota, Hor- vatich, Aqosta, Burkhart, Assistant Manager Moore. ln February, the team helped Bones finish his brilliant prep career by defeating a strong squad from Kankakee. Bones scored twenty-two points against Harvey alone this season. However, even with his spectacular playing, the Meteors ended up two points behind Harvey in the final tally. Uncle Sam stepped into the picture soon after Bones graduated and called Charlie Gullota and Henu Zelewski into the service. Charlie, in case you don't know, was the fellow who kept pulling the game out of the fire with those beautiful long shots of his. Many a time Charlie saved the team from getting too far behind. Hen was a handy man to have around, he did his job, whatever it was, and he did it well. When these fellows left, we only had three really experienced players, Burkhart, Non- dorf, and Agosta. George Burkhart really did a bang-up job this year. He kept improv- ing all the time. Right up to the last George was still showing new talents. Nondorf and Agosta were in there all the way doing a swell job, both in scoring and defense too. Eddie and Mario will be back to help build a winning team next year. Along with them will be all the others, fighting for T. F. They have the spirit and the ability so just watch them under lack Kiester, who just hasn't any equal as you know. 49 Q ,, O . Af ,, wi ZW? 07513 .SENXO YR STARS Here are a few individual shots for you, and a few statistics about the big shots on the team . . . and that's not a pun. The four seniors are from left to right: Bones Horvatich who is the best basketball player T.l:'. has produced in many a year. George Burkhart whom you could depend on all the time. l-lenu Zelewski who did a fine job whenever he was called on. Dan Sestak who was always a mighty handy man to have around. ln the top row of Next Years Hopes are: Eddie Nondorf who is good on both offense and defense and will be a big help next year. Charlie Gulotta whose eye for long shots will be missed.. Uncle Sam took him after l mounted the picture. Len Telechon who's a peach of a shot from the dead corner. lf the army doesn't get him he'll be a high scorer in 44-45. Mario Agosta who is only a sophomore but did a fine job in his first year on the varsity and will be even better as a junior. ln the bottom row are: Tony Miniuk who was one of our most aggressive reserves and will go far next winter. Sam Caruso who is a good south paw with great possibilities for the future. Frankie Rogers who came through in the clinches and will see a lot more action next season. 4 i i E dai? 'lhgf-xxx? TQ We-XT Ynmis x-XQKSLS 'uw E 2 jJwAh-Soplm, Jnnflzall Jnam, The Freshman-Sophomore team certainly did all right for itself this year. They finish- ed with a league record of nine wins and two defeats. The only team to beat our kiddies was a mighty good squad from Blue Island. Mr. Fedosky did a swell job teach- ing the fellows how to play basketball, but he had some good material to begin with. There were Tom Stokes, a snappy little southpaw with a big future, Auggie Ollrich, who is bound to carry on and possibly top the family fame on the court: Rudy Horvatich, a fellow who has basketball in his blood, Mike Ferrantelle, a chunky guy who really showed his stuff, and it was all good stuff, too: Norman Creviston, curly topped high scorer for the team: and Bob Shepard, the only freshman to play regularly, who will really go places next year. These are only a few of the fellows, but the point is that Look at our youngsters Row 1, l to r: Morgan, Tol- ley, Leonard, VanOsten, Sollobitsch, Grylls, Schar- lach. Row 2: Manisccrlco, Caruso, Pranske, Wollard, Hirtz, Moore, Ferrantello, Abate. How 3: Coach Fedos- ky, Ollrich, Stokes, Hor- vatich, Davis, Shepherd, Fedosky, Siatta, Creviston, Gindl fmanaaerl, Seiia, an- other mcmager, Lietzan and Sherrill were absent when the picture was taken. material like this is the foundation of future T. F. teams-and winning teams. All these boys will be back next year, bigger and better than before. Some will turn into varsity players, others will have another year of Fresh-Soph ball to season their ability. Inci- dentally, if those little fellows in the front row ever get a chance, you'll hear them sizzle clear down in the South Pacific. So Long, Sport Sw' ' a1wLJ1za.clL Dear Pete, Hi, fellow! Cock an ear to my woeful tale. Yep, it's a sad, sad story. Our swimming team has suffered a sorry fate. Gther than one outside meet, T.F. swimmers had only the intra-murals to satisfy their surplus energy. Although it seems that our swim team must re- main in the background for the duration, Mr. Fedosky is doing a grand iob in supervising the boys who faithfully keep Working even if they can see no immediate glory. lt's fellows like those in the enclosed pictures who will keep sportsmanship alive through the war and then start with fresh enthusiasm when the war ends. In the first row are: Weinberg, Eisner, Fedosky, Anderson, and Bundle. In the second row: Skiba, Stasiak, Ruark, Gudgeon, and Besse. Last, but not least, we have: Springet, Grylls, Lenard, and Meyers. Howdy, Luke, Howsa Boy? Thought I'd dash off a few lines to you before heading for track prac- tice. Yes, that season has rolled around again--at least the calendar says it has. Seems as though no one has told the weather man yet. Can't send you any pictures of the squad yet, cause we just haven't had any taken. We're gradually getting into trim and have hopes of making you former track stars sit up and take notice. Everyone of the fellows is out for practice whenever Coach gives the word. If the weather is too bad, we work in the gym. Boy, that wind has sure been snappy the few times we've been able to practice outside. Hey, the whistle blew. See you later. Saludos, Amigos, Reading from left to riqht in the first row are: Gr lobitsch, Hocott, Fein, Fedosky, Schlink, Kuzdrows and Kaminski. And in the second row: Gercke Miller, Shepherd, Mantredo, Mcmtredo, Mantell Stevens, Ubik. lust my way ot saying, Hiya, lackson, What's cookin'! There's been plenty ot cooking at T.F. Among other things, the lntra-mural program has been in full swing. lt was more extensive this year than ever before. Even our coaching statt, which or- ganized the schedule was surprised at the number ot entries. The fellows in these pics are the finalists. They came out on top after a tough elimination contest. Most of the boys in this Wrestling-Boxing snap-shot look rather glum. Wonder why? Now how's about meeting the Basket- ball champs? This bunch of guys are really crackeriacks when it comes to basketball technique. That's Ioe Shuto- ski squatting on the floor. Dick Blair is right next to him. Pete Pyrz, who cap- tainecl the champs, is seated on the mat at the left of the pic While Daniel Danie- Wicz is seated at the far right. That's l-lenry Soczyk with Tony Horvatich standing smack-dab in the center. H20 plus six B-O-Y-S gives you the lntra-mural Swimming winners in the above picture at the left. Man, these guys are pul-en-ty good. They're as agile as fish in the water. Since you liked swimming so well, you should meet: Mickey Skiba, Ed Fedosky, lrving Weinberg, Dan Anderson, Clarence Buark, and Gordon Bundle. There were 160 entries in the swimming contests and these fellows defeated them all. Not a bad record, eh what? Besides such strenuous sports as Swimming, Boxing, Wrestling, and Basketball, the boys also enjoyed Checkers and Ping-Pong. CWho said that Ping-Pong wasn't strenu- ous'?l Ronald Teutemacher Cleftl defeated all other would be checker champs. lust look at the pleased expression on his pussl! Little Walter Buehler Ccenterl walked away with Ping-Pong honors. The kid must certainly be good to have eliminated everyone else in the field. Ping-Pong's a fast game. Bet he really had to step. The smiling critter on the right is Henry Hank Soczyk. He won the Free Throw contest. lust call him Basket-sinkin' Hank from now on. Nothing like having a steady eye and an equally steady arm, is there? That's about all the pictures l can send this time, Pal. ln fact, that's all the lntra- mural pics that were taken. These fellows were the winners, the champs, victors, etc. lt's just too bad we couldn't snap every single fellow who entered each contest. They're a great gang of kids and rate a smart salute. They put their hearts into these tourna- ments, gave them all the energy and skill they could muster. These are the boys who keep athletics alive-even a war doesn't stop them. ln fact, the War has proved an added incentive in sports programs. The coaches and fellows alike realize the need to keep in top physical condition. Wish I had photos, too, of all the time, effort, and planning which entered into organizing the lntra-mural program. Every detail was minutely arranged so as to give the maximum benefit with the minimum exertion. The participation in and results of the various contests prove the success of the pro- gram. Before signing off for awhile, I propose one rousing cheer for the athletic-minded Fractionalites and our effective coaching staff. Iust one of the spectators, 'I77nnoqJzam, Klub Dear Hal, You asked me, in your letter, about some of the fellows who were your opponents in the Harvey-Fractional games, lt's good to know a guy from Harvey is interested in our athletes. Here is a picture of our Monogram Club, minus those fellows who are in the service. lt certainly is an honor to be a member of the Monogram Club for it is the most exclusive male organization in school, since to become a member one must have earned a major letter in some sport. The initiation is a ceremony the fellows will always remember! Monograms sponsor, Mr. Petree, supervises its activities in ad- dition to being our athletic director. Perhaps, you'll be seeing some ot these fellows soon. You're not the only ones who can get into the armed forces, you know. Grinninq at you from the front row are: R. McKinnon, R. Van Osten, D. Macie- jewski, P. Manqiaracina, C. Falkenstrom, and R. are: I. Dunn, l.. Hasiak, F. Gudgeon, VV. Kaszak, top are: G. Burkhart, R. Striebel. ln the middle row D. Sestakauckas, M. Agosta, and M. Skiba.

They really put on a super showing at the gala affair this year. Wish you could have been there! The boys sponsored several so- cials this year too. So, at the begin- ning of the year, someone got the ., bright idea of owning a juke boxfand they now do! lt came in handy at all the socials and afternoon parties, and we want the Boys' Club to know we appreciate this wise purchase. Mr. Lambka, Boys' Club Sponsor, has run things well, and the boys always had fun under his direction. The picture on the right shows the officers and board mem- bers of this organization. They are: First row, Sec. H. Van Osten, C. Falkenstrorn Pres. R. Striebel, R, Striebel, I. Van Osten. Second rowg W. Gindl, O. Spindler, L. Mcliittrick, D. Horst. Along with the picture of Boys' Club Board, l'm sending a pic of three men who deserve a heap of credit. Nothing at school would have turned out right if Charley, Barney, and Nick hadn't had a hand in it. These friendly guys can be seen roam- ing the corridors any time of the day, but they always have their jobs done fand around here there are loads of them to do. You can always recognize Bar- ney, our general repair man, by his greeting, Hi, ya, Pardnerf' Charley is the one who sees to it that we are kept warmfoh, boy! Nick has done a perfectly snazzy job of refinishing the desk tops. ln other words, T. F. would be lost without these faithful workers. So, here's to them, long may they roam our halls.

HAQGCH yngigfwrw' Hi Pam, The other day as I was walking through the halls, I suddenly remembered that I had a G. A. C, snap-shot that I could send to you. You'll probably recognize these old familiar faces and, picture them deftly spiking a ball or sinking a basket. Can't you just see this team in action? As alert as birds in the trees and as quick as eagles, they're ready tor anything. The picture shows the seniors who won the volle and captain basketball tournaments. The only exceptions are that Veyon Boyd, who is not in the picture, was on the captain basketball team, and Mary Alice Carroll was on only the volleyball team. The rest ot these gals showed their stuit in both sports and how they did show it. Most ot these gals have been coming to G. A. C. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday alter school since they were freshmen. Couldn't We say they are now ac- complished sports lassies? I haven't the snapshots ot the winners ot basketball or baseball yet but will send them soon. The seniors won the basketball tourney, too, so that picture will have al- most the very same girls on it. Just for reference, the girls in the first row are: Clarice Racz- kowski, Lila Mae Winterhoti, Ruthie Schultz. Middle Row: Florence Lorenz, Isabelle Tomaszewski, Norma Larrance, Betty Lesmeister.

Hello you- This is the calm before the storm, Cyou know, the iust before final exam lulll, so I thought l'd scribble off to you some of the what's what and who's who in Girls' Club this year. We really did things, but what else could you expect with such a super bunch of officers? Working with Miss Schmidt, they planned 44's activities. Everyone turned out so just right that it will be marked indelibly on a page in each T. F. girl's memory book. First on the calendar came the Big and little Sister Party to lay the cornerstone for the freshies' social life. lt's tradition for freshies to be green, and they fulfilled all requirements, but in an extra-cute way, of course. Halloween and a Girls' Club Party always seem to go together, and this year's reminded me of my old trick or treating days. After calming the greenies down to school routine and having the Halloween Party, we sprouted ourselves a few gray hairs in due respect to the man shortage and the coming Girls' Club Dance. November 10 was the deadline. With lipsticks clutched in their hot little fists, all the gals proceeded to set efficient bear traps for the unsuspect- ing males. They worked too, cause a record breaking crowd trotted to the Paper Doll Dance. Cute theme, huh? Sarah Rider, big boss, and her committee, did a nifty job. Oh, ioy, did l ever have a wonderful time!

Girls' Club pitched in with a triple feature for the concessions after the Victory Caravan stage show. There was Madame Fifi Bong-bong, Calias loan Haysl who revealed the mysteries of the future, for a small fee. Games of Chance and Moments of Bliss went over in a big way, too. But one thing that you always know will be extra specially nice, is the Girls' Club Board Christmas Tea. The decorations look so pretty and it's fun to see all the Board members don their Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and manners, acting tl won't say Grown up eitherl a little more calm and dignified. Mrs. Mayers still turns out the goodies she used to makefremernber? The days of our precious Christmas vacation went flying by and before we knew it, the Sophomore girls were sipping punch at their class tea. Sounds funny, doesn't it, but they like punch better, sugar rationing or no. I wonder if you still worry over things in general as much as you did over the Sophs' tea the year you were chairman. The Boys' Club Board members helped to entertain the midterm freshies at the Big and Little Sister, Maybe l'd better say 'Brother ' too, party in lanuary. And the committee dreamed up the cutest way to find our little sisters and baby brothers by cutting pictures into puzzle-like pieces, and then matching the parts. Varietyfthe spice of life, you know! lt really is a good thing to get the new little ones started off on the right track. I know l was thrilled to death to have a big sister watching over me. Skinned-up knees and spills galore! Okay, so you guessed itfthe Roller Skating Party. But whether they mopped up the floor Cas l didl or glided around a la Sonja Henie, it was fun for all. The Senior Girls Luncheon gave me the funniest feeling. I suppose it was 'cause it brought the thought of graduation so much closer. lt felt nice, though, to get all dressed up and act as a dignified senior Bow day stands out in my mind, maybe because I can still picture the halls decor- ated with colorful bows, perched atop the latest hair-do's and serving as ties for the fellows as well. Standing Committee Chairman Row 1: Betty Lorenz, Katherine Boglarsky, Pat Lauerman, Betty Rentner, Ieannette Mills. Row 2: Phyllis Harle, Alice Hansen, Mary Alice Carroll, Elvah Workman, Eileen Nichter, Rita Wright. The Mother and Daughter Party-you can understand why l'm speechless when it comes to that. No girl could ever forget what a beautiful and impressive ceremony it is. The long rows of lighted candles at Installation make me feel so solemn, and yet l'm so very happy and teary after the pins are given out and the new president an- nounced. This one was typical just as nice as always-tl'1at's all l need say 'cause l know you understand being a old girl yourself. l'l1 bet you think that was the end of Girls' Club doings, but, aha-surprise-l've saved the things that we're the proudest of 'till last. Our Christmas Seal Sale, with the help of the screwy faculty assembly, collected lots and lots of money, the most ever. Pat on the back number one for T. F.'s whole student body. ln our War Work, selling Stamps and Bonds we really went over the top. Pat number two-not just be- cause the whole school backed up the drive and bought steadily, but because every- one realized the importance and need for more loans to provide equipment for our boys . That just about winds up the Girls' Club clock for this year, but you can be sure our underclassmen will keep it in good running order for a bushel more of activities next year. Bye now, Phyll 67 l'li l-lo Silver, Maybe you just think this year's sextette isn't as silvery voiced lor maybe goldenl as you folks used to be, but we think this gang is strictly on the bean.

It certainly seems as if l ought to see you once in a while. As soon as you get a chance, come and we'll have a real gab festfand it won't be just about girls and music. Unohu Dear Lois, Remember how much you used to enjoy the Girls' Chorus back in the days when Miss Helen Brazzill had charge of it. ln the meantime Mr. McPhail and Mr, Kingdon directed and now the baton wielder is Mr. Schuelke, our newest history teacher.

When you planted that parting kiss on my briny cheek that day you left, l promised myself l'd do all you said l ought to. Here's the report, my own Romeo. September saw T. F. open its doors to all of us hopefuls. We trudged reluctantly back to see the same teachers holding high the torch of learning teven if it did strike us as totally unnecessary lightl, and we sat indifferently as far from the beam as space permitted and blissfully trusted the rays would reach us merely because we were there. Football season came. We went to all the games, howled ourselves hoarse, idolized the players, and jumped joyfully into the basketball season. We followed that with equal hilarity. Gee, Thorny, T.F. is a grand place! Now that my four years are almost over, l realize it, and I know what you meant when you kidded me into being happy about going back. You were so right. l'm ready to go to work. lncidentally, l have my job waiting for me. And do you know what? I'm not a bit scared of it! l joined the Commercial Club last fall and worked like a beaver to get my pin. The teachers kept me iumpingf typing all kinds of stuff for them. Sometimes l thought they were unreasonable in what they wanted done, but since no one made nie do any of the work, I typed class notes and lists, ditto master sheets, stencils, and other junk while l muttered in my beard. l'm pretty happy over it now, because that work gave me confidence and helped me get that good job l've got cornered for luly l. Don't forget, Thorny, you said l could be your confidential secretary when l landed my first job! Yours for lots of confidence, Ann Miss Ann Nonemus 23 Skyline Calumet City, Illinois U. S.

F. swell up with pride thinking of you and the rest in the service. For us in school, active service is impossible, but we do help through the American Iunior Red Cross. Since you were such a faithful member on the I.R.C. Council last year, would you be interested in knowing what we did this year? lthought you would, so here goes! We started oft with a bitt in September when all the students enrolled, making T. F. IOUCZQ for I.R.C. At our first meeting representatives were chosen who would attend a Chicago meeting every month to make plans. The four selected were Shirley Bogart, Eileen Nichter, Anthony Grady, and lack Haney. The biggest accomplishment the iirst halt of the year was a super exhibit at the Carnival. tliernember seeing the pictureftl All the articles displayed were made Qoy kids in T. F. These includedg scutties, athgans, beside covers, Christmas cards, tray mats, menu covers, Scrapbooks and a Pictorial Honor Roll. The Art Class deserves a vote of thanks for making menu covers and tray mats all during the year. These were sent to boys in Army and Navy Hospitals in or near Chicago. The Pictorial Honor Roll was the hit ot the exhibit. There were three large posters showing former T. F. studnts now in service. Anthony Grady and his committee thought up the neat and unique method of displaying them. An Arts and Skills program was conducted in December. Yarns, ribbons, twines, cords and the like were collected, plus S25 with which to purchase more articles. These odds and ends are used in Occupational Therapyffwork which gives fellows something to do in the hospitals. This isn't all either, We conducted a War Fund Drive, too, and the kids really coe operated. That about ends l.R.C. activities tor l943-44, Dorry. Keep up your good workffwe are all backin' you! 'Bye now, Crossy P.S. These pictures show the officers and council members who represent the kids at T. F. in a lr. Red Cross Council. They're one fine bunch, believe me!! l'll roll call 'em.

P., not in the band, never suspect all the tun that we have just practicina at the daily rehearsals, No bunk that's as much a part ot band to all us veterans Iahem, that also includes youl as marchinq at tootball games and playing tor concerts. Take a qander at the pics and you'll notice lots ot new laces. We need 'em tho' to balance all the sections. At the Christmas Concert we really made a nice sliowina. Everything went ort just riqht, and the band in particular sounded as qood, it not better than ever. I0t course, all ot the present members ot the Musicians Union No. TFTHS prefer the latterl.

The clarinets, as usual, had trouble hanging onto their music' such a windy place, the gridiron' and the rest ot us, not to be outdone, had occasional lapses ot memory as to where we belonged in what manoeuvers. l don't think l'll ever torget that or our l-lip hip hooray and our trozen feet and tingers, either. Now the temperature at basketball games is much more pleasant and the stage makes a grand ring-side seat, too. l forgot to mention that we played the best songs during the basketball season.

Shortages, shortages everywhere you turn, and yep, there was a shortage in oi' chestra, too. We were mighty low on strings, tirst violins in particular, this year, hut it you'd heard Two Guitars or any other number on our Christmas Concert program, you wouldn't have noticed the ditterence. Aha, all that practicing we do on Tuesday and Thursday mornings really counts. Well, practice rnalces perfect , they say! Not exactly orchestra. but practically, is the Woodwind Quartet inade up ot the tlute. olooe, and two clarinet players in the orchestra. A rnighty nice group, they played out on several entertainment prograrns. Kind like a shy little girl who doesnt say niuch, the orchestra goes on, quietly twcll, sornetiniesl practicing for the play or usually just tor lun. But l know tor sure that you'll agree with me when l say that whether or not the orchestra has chances to play tor niany doings, it earns its reward by playing tor graduation each year. Right?

The film shortage was bad enough, but the crowning exasperation was the synthetic rubber Cement. You had enough experience pasting pics yourself to know that only rubber cement will do for this kind of work-and the rubber cement wouldn't stick. Then we had a typewriter shortage 'cause we turned one of our precious staff machines over to the government and we've typed pages for this book everywhere from the band- room to the office, but you know, l'll bet we've had more fun than if everything had gone smoothly. Everybody realized the situation and pitched in. Miss Kessinger loaned us typists every once in a while and, well, we dood it at last. If you like this book, land if you don't you're goofyl, say special thanks to Dot Mazer, Phyl Harle, loan Gotham, Kelly Callahan, and Eileen Nichter, who did oodles of the work. Of course the Whole bunch is good, but you know how it is--fthere are always a few who are better than good. This letter sounds a bit solemncholy. Probably that's just because we are heaving a big sigh of relief right now, and it could be that we're a bit lonesome for you. How's about a nice long letter? Chron O.

Of course, we're too modest to say so. lf you'd been here instead of with Uncle Sammy, you'd have been on the staff and poor Doc's hair would be a lot qrayer by this time. We've done as well as could be expected without you. Kelly has been a peach of an editor and Nick made a swell assistant. Between the two of them they certainly qot things done and made the rest of us step. Ioan Gotham deserves a pat on the back for her column about the fellows in service, and Dot Mazer should have a couple Cpats, not fellows? for always beinq around to help type, Mac was mighty faithful with Girls' Sports, but shucks, the whole staff did a qood job, including yours truly, so I now take my bow and slip in a picture of the editorial staff.

No you don't re- member him because he's a faculty freshman this year. But, lohnnie, you certainly missed something by leaving before he joined tfie T. F. gang. Mr. Schuelke is not only a very capable teacher and director, but he's also mighty clever. We really should have put up Standing Room Only signs, lohnnie, 'cause the crowd was immense. The performers came on the stage from a victory caravan, and with rookies in uniform, lounging on the stage, the scene was convincing, at least to us stay-at-homes. A lot of service fellows said it was, too. You can imagine how smoothly the Shaw ran, when l tell you that we had the man with the mellow voice, Gordon Buffington, as master of ceremonies. Some of his jokes were worse than Mr. Lambka's. , '-9 R I can almost hear that long, low whistle you'll emit when you see this picture ot Double Sextet as they looked at the Carnival! Seated from lett to right: Sarah Rider, Evelyn Ault, Erma Ault, leanette Mills, and Thais Chipps, K Standing are: Ida Moe Mau- pin, Kathryn Trebellas, Marf iorie Bauer, lanell Kickert, Shirley Labas, Mr. Schuelke, and Lila Mae Winterhoit, Violette Panayotovich looked lovely and sounded the same as she sang, God Bless America to start things oft. Then We turned from patriotism to comedy with an un- usual tap dance by Betty Rentner and Rita Wright. No kidding, Iohnnie, their dance was as unusual as it was clever. Under the ordinary skirt each was wearing was a pickaninny doll, sewed neatly to the underside ot the skirt. When the skirt was raised, you saw a colored gal, and not Betty or Rita, shurtling along. That King ot the Keyboard, Tom Voss, was on hand to play several numbers in his scintillating style. Tom also accompanied several of the other acts. I don't know what we would have done at rehersals it it hadn't been tor Tom. l-le was always on hand to play when we needed an accompanist tor a dance routine or vocal number. Betty Lorenz was back again, too. She did her stint tor T. F. by singing and danc- ing to Over There. Irving Berlin would have been proud of Betty's rendition ot his great number. We'd like to hear what the mystics would have to say about her chances for stardom. VICTL tr: AV, 55 - tits..

Buff looks far more digni- fied in this picture at the right than he actually did at the Carnival. A hushed silence came over even the crows in the balcony as a young girl stepped to the front of the stage. Yes, it was Lila Mae Winterhoff. Many eyes were bright with tears, and prayers were whispered in many hearts as she sang, Say a Prayer For the Boys Over There. Lila has the enviable power of bringing you fellows closer to us when she begins singing softly and sweetly. Who wouldn't rave about Shir- ly Temple, Baby Snooks, and Betty Grable? The audience cheered as these stars ran onto the stage. tAnd who wouldn't cheer Fraction- al's football teamll Yes, it was the Petreemen acting up again. And what an act! They had us all but rolling in the aisles. Wolf calls are strictly out of order, but we might let you have a nice long stare at the T. F. litter- bug-Ballet group at the right. As for names, let's start at the door- way and come clown and around --Cynthia Clark, Betty Bentner, Gail Hill, Edna Mazer, Lois Knott, Sarah Rider, Maureen Beach, Phyl- lis Ecklund, Millie Mitchell, and Margie Lutz. S I . . . 'Z In TKT' Here are Bita Wright and Betty Rent- ner in the costumes they wore in the pickaninny dance. And standing to the right of them is Donna Lou Davis who really put her heart cmd soul into You're A Grand Old Flag. Dorothy McClosky, one of our freshmen, played Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey! on her accordian. And believe me, some of the fellows wanted to take her literally. We're looking forward to hearing more of Dorothy's music in future Care nivals. We had a new find for the Carnival this year. It was Barbara Hindle. l don't know where she's been hiding that voice all these years. You can almost guess that she's been much in demand at all school entertainments since Carnival. As Barb sang, Begin the Beguinef' leanette tYolandal Mills, and Tom tVelozl Pochron gave a beautiful exhibition of ballroom dancing, len and Tom are quite a team and all of us envied their easy grace as they glided through their routine. Miss Shemaitis certainly arranged some intricate dance numbers. Did you ever see a Iitterbug-Ballet? Well, no one else had either until the night of November l9, l943. The ballet started dreamily, but a few hot licks changed the situation, Our bal- lerinas became hep cats and iived merrily away. These are the rookies I was telling you about. ln reality they are Meister singers in borrowed uniforms. This is Barbara Hindle. Uh-huh, we like her too. She couldn't be here the day the Carnival pic- tures were taken, but we finally managed to snap her. These gals were in one of the clev- er tap dances. Cute, aren't they? Reading from left to right: lean- ette Mills, Mary Elaine Iones, Yvonne Breclaw, Lois Ritchie, Betty Lorenz, Dolores Rentner, Rita Wright, and Eileen Murrin. Wouldn't you like to have these canteen hostesses at your canteen? We can't sup- ply addresses, but reading from lett to right their names are: Doris Horst, Angie Istas, loan Wiese, Charlene Zelzer Arniinta Bastian, Iackie Au- rnik, Dorothy Zyla, Lorraine Wartrnan, and Dorothy Mazer. lda Mae Maupin, the solo! ist, would be another asset T T to any canteen. The tap dance routine was as srnooth as it was colorful, and a unique dance was presented by the girls who were the hostesses ot the Stage Door Canteen. Double Sextet, under the direction ot Mr. Schuelke, was as good tif not betterl than ever as they sang two old favorites, Star Dust and Smoke Gets ln Your Eyes. These nielodies always stir up pleasant rnenfiories, and when sung by Double Sextet they niake us reininisce even more. Yvonne Breclaw, acrobat extraordinary, gave her all in an extremely difficult acro- batic teat. Everyone enjoyed her rhythmic contortions. However, we all held our breath tor tear that she'd break her neck. She didn't though, so we're hoping to see her again at the other T. E. Carnivals. As Girls' Chorus sang, Wliite Christmas, all bundled up in coats, znittens, and babuskas, you could practically see the snow talling. The audience got a big kick out ot their getting tangled up, but that just added to the punch. These glamour-pusses at the right are really the T. E. tootball players. ln the back row, trorn left to right are: Willie Padien, Danny Sestak, Leonard l-lasiak, Rudy lesser- nig, Carl Merlo, Erwin lack Dunn. Eront row: Pete Pyrz, Toni Pochron, Charlie Green, Bob McKinnon, Bob Heim- buck. When you see this picture of Betty Lo- renz, you'll probably wish she were Over There with you. You can class Shir ley Labas with the best. We do. Her tap dancing sets our toes atapping. It you don't think tapping on roller skates is difficult, just try it some time.. Perhaps you could get Edna Mazer to teach you-. She's definitely good!! ...fu 5 W. .,.....Y-....., Shirley Labas CTwinkle Toesl did a tap routine to Birth ot the Blues, while Donna Lou Davis roused our Red, White, and Blue spirit with a song and dance routine to You're A Grand Old Flag. Shirley is well-known at Fractional for her dancing, but Donna is just a Freshman. Here's hoping they'll both be back to entertain us at next year's Carnival. Speaking of dancers, you'd have appreciated Edna Mazer. She did a tap dance on roller skates. Roller skate routines are rather a novelty at our Carnivals, and her dancing, along with her personality made Edna quite a hit. That gal certainly has audience-appeal. The concessions were iust as gay and popular as before. G.A.C. had their regular Fish Pond, and among other things, Girls' Club had a games and skills concession down in the bike room. This year Ye Olde Band Room was turned into Dutty's Tavern by Meistersingers. They always think ot something original, don't they? The swim shom was spectacular, again, as usual, The climax of Carnival, the crowning ot the King and Queen, took place at eleven o'clock. Mary Elaine Iones and George Burk- hart reigned supremefat until Mickey Isley and his crew packed away the last instru- ment. l'm enclosing a picture of Mary Elaine and George taken iust after they had been crowned. Doesn't Mary Elaine look sweet? And notice the surprised look on Georges . face! Perhaps, he doesn't believe he's really King ot Carnival. my 1. 'Q' lntroducing the chain gang! lf you knew Maxie Grills, you'd realize just how ludicrous that policernan's uniform is. Iirnmy Leonard is standing on the steps, and the others, reading from left to right, are: Allen Boerst, joe Engerski, james Kose-lke, Clarence Ruark, Robert Gaylor, Russell Crane, Vincent Berwanger, and james I-locott. Will you look at the silly ex- pression on Charlie Greens face? Could his broken arm have affect- ed his brain? Or, perhaps he just pulled something out of the C1.A.C. fish pond at the left. The Schultz twins, lane and janet were taking tickets when this picture was snapped. Here's a group of Meistersing- ers just about ready to go into action. This was snapped in Duf- fy's Tavern. ln the front row, from left to right, are: Eddie Gorecki, Robert Stenberg, Tony Lietzan, and Tom Voss. ln the back row are Gordon Buffington, Bob Starnes, Stanley Sie kora, and Alan Laurence. Well, Iohnnie, these are just some of the highlights. l hope you can visualize what the Carnival was like this year, and we all hope to see you at the Carnival of 1944. Top o' the Mornin' Fella, 1 Sit yourself down on a convenient log or lean against a boulder for support. I'm about to let you in on the solution of the mystery that's been bothering the senior class since last November. Who are the Pin Ups and Who's Who of the outstanding seniors? Iust a hand full of us have known, and have we had a hard time keeping quiet. We had quite a task finding out just who did win what because the Pin Up vote twhich was really a sort of popularity polll and some of the votes for other things sort of doubled up on themselves sometimes. The committee solved the mix-up by calling folks whatever they got the most votes for. 'Frinstance, one fellow got a first in pin up and first in-well, never mind, he just got another first, but he had more votes for Pin Up than for the other one, so that's what he is labeled and the second place chap, who was only 2 votes behind, got the other label. Simple, isn't it? Anyhow, it's fair cause it includes more. We ought to say that there were some folks who had so many votes scattered all over that they should be mentioned. The fellows are, Bob McKinnon, CAnyhow he had a big football picture, did you see it?l lack Dunn, Benny Sidote, Bob VanOsten, Norman'Schatz and Tom Voss tDid you see his special shot way back on page 4?J The girls are Pat Lauerman, Dot Mazer, Ioan Gotham, and Ianell Kickert. Here are the results: Pin Ups tln no speciall orderl Best Looking Best Dancers Best Scouts Best Dispositions Most Reliable Most Popular Most Versatile Most Friendly Most Athletic Brightest Cutest Drollest Mike Nagy and Betty Lorenz Charlie Green, and Barbara Brough 'Henry Soczyk, and Rita Wright Harold Winterhoft and Annette Goyke Frank Gudgeon and Waynetta Dyer George Schneider and Genevieve Gabrich Ioe Stasiak and Ieanette Mills Danny Sestakauckas and Mary Alice Carroll Don Macieiewski and Grace Iones Erwin Gleim and Kathleen Callahan George Burkhart and Betty Rentner Gordon Buffington and Lila Mae Winterhoff Henry Zalewski and Eileen Nichter Bones Horvatich and Ruth Schultz Norman Smith and Eunice Harthun Phyllis Harle and Carl Falkenstrom Pete Pyrz and Betty McCloskey To wind things up you'l1 find picures of the Aults, Ted Ciastko and Leonard Gill whose didn't come out on top in any one' thing but who had such a lot of votes for this, that and the other that they really outnumbered some of the first placers and just had to be included. Last, but not least, we've included a snap of Eleanor Schab and her brother Edward, also a T. E. grad t'37, I thinkl. Any gal with a five star service pin is a pin up for me, and I say five cheers for her the five Schab boys Ed, Gus, Ioe, Roman, and Len-all T. Fers except Roman.

Q W x its iw is i E Dear Albie, I've just finished my math assignment andl have a few minutes left over in this library period, so l've decided to write this long overdue letter. I would have written sooner, Albie, but I lost your address, and had to go through a long, drawn-out process to get it again, Never- the less, I finally got it and so here's the dope. fno wisecracksl There's really plenty happening around here, and it's hard to know just where to start. Still, as I look around the library, I can't help but talk first about speech and debate. The walls are plastered with banners and the trophy case isn't exactly empty. Right there at the back l can see the banner you won for first place in Original Oratory at Illinois Wesleyan, in 1942. This year, as last, debate is nil for several reasons, the main one being transportation diffi' culties. Fortunately however, speech hasn't suffered the same fate. In fact, we've got a pretty strong squad. Here are the N.F.L. officers: l. G. Buffington, A. Hickman, Erma Ault. Here is the first string squad: 1. P. Harle, S. Bertram, D. Mazer, Erma Ault. 2. L. Leek, N. Wahlgren, B. Rentner, K. Callahan, 3. C. Pike, L. Gill, G. Buffington. 4. Mr. Davis, A. Grady, L. McKittrich. 97 Of course, we don't have as many meets now as we used to, but we still have enough to create some interest and from the looks of the inexperienced speakers that answered Mr. Davis's call, the interest must be pretty great. In our first meet of the year, at LaPorte, things went along smoothly and we emerged the victors over some nineteen other schools, among which were top rankers in Indiana. Nine of our thirteen competitors took one or more of the first places. Gordon Buffington, as usual, took first place in Humorous Reading, but added new laurels by winning first in Poetry as well. Leonard Gill distinguished himself with a first in Dramatic Declamation with Marjie Bauer second, and Shirley Bertram third. Erma Ault 'placed second in Poetry with her twin sister Evelyn taking a close third. In Radio Announcing, Bob McKinnon and Larry MeKittrick tied for second place. Bob also took fourth in Oratorical Declamation. Anthony Grady received fifth place for the day in Extemp. From there, we journeyed to Hammond High for the preliminary rounds in a triangular meet with Hammond and Clark. In this tourney, all of our inexperienced folks were given a chance at some contest work. The final rounds of this met at our school a few days later. We won! Individual credit Went to Phyll Harle for first in poetry and Doris Larson and Erma Ault for second and fourth respectively in the same event. Kathleen Callahan came through with a handy third in Extemp, while Leonard Gill stole the show in Dramatics with first. In Oratorical Dec., Andy Stecyk, a newcomer to the speech team, eeked out a fourth place which added very nicely to our total. Lawrence McKittrick narrowly missed a top billing in Radio Announcing, but nevertheless, showed considerable ability by placing second. Irene Kohler, another newcomer, paralleled Lar- ry's fete in Original Oratory while Eunice Harthun helped out with a fifth. Buff's eight points for first in I-Iumerous increased our total as did Beryl lones's second, Doris Larson's third and Betty Rentner's fourth places in the same event. All in all, it was a profitable meet. T. F, took the initiative, and held the next tourney on the home floor, extending invitations to the big-guns in both Northern Illinois and Indiana. Transportation prohibited a full attendance from Illinois, however, the very highly esteemed Elgin team managed to come, along with Clark, Hammond High, Crown Point and LaPorte. The Fractional squad fought furiously and when the smoke of battle cleared away, they had done it again. This time, the nearest competitor, Elgin, was 53 points shy of threatening our first place title. Gill was consistent, and instrumental in piling up T. F.'s 190 points as we walked off with first in Dramatic Dec. Margie Bauer drew a second in the same event and came within five points of his mark. Bob McKinnon got on the beam and made a very impressive showing as he took first place honors in Oratorical Dec. Buff aided materially with another first in Humorous, as Phyll Harle and Thais Chipps made it a clean sweep in that event by gaining second and third honors respectively. Richard Leek, in his second attempt at speech Work, did nicely with fourth place in Extemp. This year our N.F.L. Chapter has taken in several new members, and last summer, had the honor of being selected the leading chapter in Northern Illinois. In connection with N.F.L., a Community Service Bureau has been formed, The bureau is just what the name implies. The speech class cooperated with National Forensic League in putting on programs for the various clubs and fraternal organizations in Cal. City, Hammond and Lansing. Mr. Davis instituted the idea and the civic organizations of these cities have taken it up with enthusiasm. Well Albie, I'm not through, but the bell has rung, and I've got to quit. I'll write the results of the Sectional Tournament in another letter. So long, Skinny. Jlnnm, Srmiatq, Dear Bud, Did you used to be awake nights Wondering whether you'd be selected for the National Honor Society? Believe me I wondered, and Worried, and fretted. I was almost certain my grades were O.K. cause I've usually made the honor roll, and I was pretty sure my character would pass inspection-at least I haven't gotten into too many scrapes, but leadership and service! Well, l've always done my darndest to help out, but you can't be sure about what other folks think. Buddy! The list just came out, and I'm on it. Believe me, it means the most of anything that ever happened to me. Didn't you feel that Way? I thought l'd be all stuck up and proud, but now l've finally made it. I just feel very humble and grateful to be included in such a group. lust look at these names: Erma Ault Evelyn Ault Donald Berwanger Gordon Buffington George Burkhart Kathleen Callahan Mary Alice Carroll Thais Chipps Carl Falkenstrom Annette Goyke lune Hanrahan Phyllis Harle Eunice Harthun Martha Hayes Lois Knott Guess I don't need to say any more. As ever, Shirley Kross Dorothy Mazer Eileen Nichter Betty lane Rentner Norman Schatz Norman Smith loseph Stasiak Robert Striebel Madge VanI'Ieest Robert VanOsten Arlene Wass Irving Weinberg Lila Mae Winterhoff Elvah Workman Charlene Zelzer is im? Hi Character, Wish you were here today! Somehow it doesn't seem legal without you--Getting the Chronoscope, I mean. lt's our last one, you know. Did you ever think when we were fresh- man that you wouldn't be here to get your senior yearbook? Too bad you couldn't have finish- ed your last semester before Uncle Sam took you. Ah well, such is life! It doesn't seem like four years since we were scared little freshmen. Gosh, do you re- member that first awful day? We couldn't find any of the classrooms and the whole darn school looked as big as a mountain. And those lockers! I couldn't open mine alone for two days. Then we went through a session of firsts. -First football game, first dance, first Carnival- and millions of other events. Those football games were terrifically thrilling. Of course, we had to keep referring to our programs to identify the players, but it was fun anyway. Some of us were even in the Carnival that first year. Golly, Pal, there are so many pleasant memories-humorous too, and a few tragic ones. Golly-gee, do you remember the heart palpitattons Fred Slinkard caused? And Gloria Poppen, and Don Koehn, and Machine Gun Allen's algebra class? Then there was Ioe Terre's trumpet solo at one of the concerts, and Stan Sonnenberg's 98 yard touchdown run in the Harvey game! Talk about eventful years! But suddenly, it was all over. Vacation days were fun, but we were sort of glad to come back to good old T.F. again-though we'd rather have died than admit it. Memories are all mixed up, and can't be definitely shoved into any special year, but will any of us ever forget any of the choruses of the grid men in the Carnivals? Or that spanking scene from the lmaginary Invalid? Our sophomore year was an off year because the novelty of being high school students had worn off and we weren't quite upperclassmen yet. However, the thrill of new experiences combined with the unexpected Pearl Harbor attack kept us busy. An Armed Forces column was introduced in the Thorntonian, we began buying war stamps and bonds, and doing war work in earnest, Uniforms became what the well-dressed man will wear. One of the things which really stands out in my memory is the Iunior Class Play of that year. We were all willing to bet our last cent that Abby Abblett's and Hob Barker's performance in Iune Mad was unequaled by any professionals. Franklyn Kingdon, now Pvt. Kingdon, became a member of the T. F. faculty. He produced a super-plus Carnival, but we liked him because he was always ready with a joke or wisecrack. Was anyone ever known to get the last word with him? It was during our second year here in the Institution, as we jokingly called Fractional, that our debate varsity won the State Championship. Our speech contestants ranked near the top 100 at the state meet too. Edgar Thedens took first place in Extemp. He's practically a legend here now, Character. He was commentator at one of the spring concerts and everyone liked his Me- thinks column in the paper. It seemed only yesterday that we first entered the halls of T. F., but strange as it seemed, we were now Iuniors. We all looked forward to the Prom and to making Iunior Stasiak was our class president, radio club was in full swing, several members were on the varsity football and basketball teams, and most of the cheerleaders Senior day last year seemed particularly outstanding. Perhaps, because we Council. Ioe of our class were juniors. had quite a few friends in the senior class, Do you remember Barbara Gilbreath's Senior song? Wasn't it inspiring? Then too, the Iunior-Senior play made a hit with everyone. Angie Vitale stole the show with her slightly Brooklynish accent in portraying the society matron. Graduation night made us realize that soon we'd be receiving our diplomas too. And this yearll It's been fun watching the frosh regard us with awe. We all have a sort of odd, possessive feeling, as though T. F. was strictly the property of the senior class. Butt sounded almost professional as master of ceremonies in the Carnival. And what girl will ever forget Lila Mae who was our own special Girls' Club President. After being thrilled by Danny, Mike, and Company during the grid season, we continued to be amazed by Bones, Burkhart, and Gullota with their crew during the basketball season. The suspense of wondering who was what in the senior mirror, and who made National Honor So- ciety, was terrific. And don't think we didn't waste precious hours trying to decide who the pin- up people were! Such mysteries! We've had fun galore here at T.F. and have much to remember. Our prom, our Chrono- scope, Olll' Thorntonian, our Carnival-they all belonged to us because we are seniors. Of course, the underclassmen might give us an argument about that, but they certainly couldn't claim Senior Day or Commencement. These were definitely Seniors only. But we gladly shared them with the rest of the school and with our folks. We were proud of our class to hoard our achieve- ments. But, Character, it will soon be all over. Soon we'1l have just memories, Most of them will be pleasant. We'll disregard the unpleasant ones. Well, Soldier, guess it's time to say, S'long, againl Take care of yourself, and think of us once in a while. Most of our senior boys are in uniform now, and we here at home are ter- rifically proud of all of you. We wish you were here with us, but know that that would be wrong, so, we just wait and hope for the day when you can again roam the halls of T.F., not as seniors, of course, but as successful alumni.

But at times we enter it with hearts of lead. For we know full well we're to have a test. 107 A medley of horn cmd ham- mer, Bad motors sputter and pop, But work is done without a stammer, And cars are fixed in Auto Shop. The office is a buzzing hive Upon work the staff does sure- ly thrive, When at eve the oftice door closes, The machinery stops-the building dozes. These classes stitched and sewed They made each Carnival costume, They sought every style, every mode, Originality was supreme in the Sewing Room. A mammoth cave of mystery Should make its mark in his- tory, The only place in school that's warm, Our Boiler Room runs true to form, The harbor of everything from pin-ups to mice, Cookie crumbs, notes, and even brass knockers, Snapshots, books-you can peek-for a price, There isn't much you wcn't find in T.
