Thornton Township High School - Thorntonite Yearbook (Harvey, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1943 volume:

THE THDRNTDNITE 1943 TWENTY-EIGHTH YEARBDDK OF Thornton ownsliin J ialt S cliool HARVEY, ILLINOIS icuuon To Miss Eva L. Lieber, Head of Thornton ' s Business department. For her high standards of efficiency and integrity upon which the con- fidence of the community in Thornton ' s commerce graduates is based, For her common sense attitude, combining understanding, patience, and firmness, toward everyday problems. Because of her love for her profession by which she helps to liberalize and refine the minds and hearts of youth that they may wisely fill their places in the world. For her complete and absolute loyalty to Thornton — pride in its past, belief in its present, and faith in its future — We, the Class of 1943, sincerely dedicate this, our twenty-eighth, THORNTONITE. ornlon u t Wo,l The time is 8:40 A.M. This is Thornton Township High School speaking. A new day is just beginning. R-r-ring-g-g! There goes the last minute dash to homeroom, the clang of slamming locker doors, the end of only half completed conversations. In less than five minutes silence reigns in my halls. Step inside one of my homerooms. Soon after that bell, all hear coming over the loud speaker system the voice of our superintendent announcing what ' s new for the day. Six bells ring, and more than five hundred seniors stream out of their homerooms to an assembly in the auditorium. Down the hall the school nurse is doing her usual rushing business. The day ' s beginning finds her busy checking re-entrance permits and not infrequently doing some patching-up work. Nine o ' clock, when classes begin. Clickety clack clack and peck peck, one of my busy typing rooms. I ' m turning out efliicient stenot;- raphers and commercial workers for Uncle Sam as fast as possible ' %.-.. % i Notice that trophy case! State champion in basketball, 1935; first in state band contest, 1941; Ail-American yearbook rating, 1942; my boys and girls do their work well. That is study hall 211 on your left. Ignored by all smooth seniors, it ' s a study hall for freshman only. Better not go in there without being announced; that ' s the girls ' gym! Rhythms, shuffle board, basketball go on concurrently to build healthy bodies. On this side is the bookstore. In addition to a flourishing business in books and supplies, the store is now busy selling defense stamps. Smells good, doesn ' t it? Homemaking department. My girls learn how to preserve the food they raise in their victory gardens. Yes, I know you ' d like to stay to sample the products, but we must be on our way. Another time. Interested in aviation, history, or mystery stories? You ' ll find them all in my library. Studying is a pleasure in that cheerful, tastefully decorated room. Don ' t neglect to visit that group of rooms way back in the corner! ,, ,- i0 (! ? ' ' ' ' f mf! m .. 0 ., ' ' SJte... They are the art rooms. What will you have, an attractive poster, handmade jewelry or pottery? In the mathematics department people learn of trigonometry ' s use to members of industry and the armed forces. My students thrive on hard work. Almost a hundred of them come at eight every morning to study aeronautics. Did you hear the music of a rhumba? It may not be the usual thing in a classroom, but after all Thornton isn ' t an ordinary school. We are taking care of a bit of Pan-Americanism right here. And music is just another step in understanding our neighbors to the south. Since it ' s afternoon, let ' s brave the crowd and eat in Thornton ' s cafeteria. Is it surprising to find everything running so smoothly? My cafeteria manager deserves a big hand for feeding good meals from rationed foods to several hundred people each day. Evidently the newspaper staff doesn ' t eat. I find them working in 108 at any and all times. In addition to the regular library, I have a library for use of English students in class work. This library of 18,618 volumes is the foundation for the broad reading program which my English classes enjoy, in addition to their other work in literature, composition, and speech. ' P Upperclassmen may elect to study creative writing, journalism, radio workshop, and dramatics. If you aren ' t afraid of queer odors, we can peek into a chemistry lab. Mustard gas, thermite bombs, coal tar dyes — no limit to the things taught here. Where ' s your pass? Another student is stopped by a hall guard who is doing his part to keep the halls clear and quiet. The hall guards help in air raid and fire drills too, keeping order and acting as fire watchers. Even a fire could not empty a school building faster than the 3:30 bell. By 3:45 the halls are empty, but wait — I hear some very gay music. I thought so. The hep cats are cuttin ' the rug in the Little Theater, but the Girls Club office is still full of girls hard at work. Now the clock in the main hall across from Mr. Abraham Lincoln says it is five P.M. Goodbye, I enjoyed showing you samples of my work. I ' ll have a short nap before my doors open again, this time to several hundred night school students. ' Round the clock — that ' s the way I work! And I ' m proud to do it. fTB — ni 1 !FiaP -  ' F ' ' ' ' ■ ' ! il? j i 1 M. ■— ' IIB ' ' i 5H 1 Vr i :.v B......Mi 1 ii mM 1 ' Ss ' d  . y9f t ■ 1 vl H Mr. Edwin R. Waterman, member; Mr. G. H.

McDougall, President. dSoard of- C duccill uccilion Elected by the people of Thornton Township, the Board of Education of Illinois school district 205 is composed of five competent citizens who without regard for monetary compensation take upon themselves the responsibility of directing Thornton Township High School and Junior College. These worthy citizens are Mr. A. H. McDougall, President of the Board of Education, who holds the position of Vice-president of the Whiting Corporation ; Mr. G. H. Gibson, Vice-president of the Board, who before retirement from an active business life was President of the Chicago Steel Car Company; Mr. Walter Haines, Thornton Township Collector; Mr. Frank P. Cowing, attorney-at-law ; and Mr. Edwin R. Waterman, farmer and banker. Mr. Clarence W. Waaso and Mr. Burton Evans, secretary and attorney, respectively, to the board are elected by that group. Mr. A. F. Waldschmidt, treasurer of Thornton Township, is elected by the three trustees of the township. Chief among the duties of the board is the employment of an outstanding super- intendent and faculty and the direction of the school ' s financial policies. Throughout the years the Board of Education has maintained for Thornton an enviable financial rating. Because these five citizens have given of their time and experience over unusually long periods of time, Mr. Gibson since 1912 and Mr. McDougall since 1913, a stable plan of exacting efficiency and a firm policy of high values characterize the Board ' s activities. William E. McVey, B.S., A.M.. Ph.D. Ohio University, UnivciMtj ot (Jucago. Superintendent of Thornton Township High School and Junior College. li uperinlen r dent I V Ic Je ¥ Behind every successful enterprise there is the forceful direction of an individual whose leadership inspires the confidence of his fellow workers and whose personality generates sympathetic helpfulness. Such a man is Superintendent William E. McVey, who directs the work of Thornton Township High School and Junior College. Each morning Dr. McVey ' s kindly voice over the public address system gives announcements to the students and faculty. In addition to carrying out his executive duties, Superintendent McVey found time for intensive study and research on the subject of Standards for the Accreditation of Secondary Schools. As a result of that study and of class work at the University of Chicago, the university conferred on him, on December 18, 1943, the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In his dissertation Dr. McVey traced the origin of secondary school standards which are a part of accrediting procedures, determined the trends in these standards since 1870, offered a critical evaluation of standards as they exist today, considered the overlapping tendencies of these agencies serving the secondary school, and evaluated the influence these standards have wielded upon the educational programs of secondary schools. Dr. McVey, Thornton ' s leader since 1919, was during the current year elected President of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, an honor which not often comes to a school and of which all Thornton is genuinely proud. 13 O.

Thornton is fortunate in having such a faculty. In addition to a plentiful supply of M. A. ' s and Ph. D. ' s, many of the faculty members have traveled widely in all parts of the world. But degrees and broad cultural background are not the only essentials of a good teacher. Between the teachers and students at Thornton, the informal spirit of a friendly group contrib- utes to lasting friendships formed by teachers and students. Naturally, the two faculty members who know the most students are the deans. Miss Helene Wilson and Mr. O. F. Umbaugh. They are the ones called upon most frequently to help students with perplexing problems. If a student is in need of financial assistance in order to attend school, it is one of the deans who finds help. If a boy or girl has difliculty in becoming adjusted to life at Thornton, it is to one of the deans he goes for assistance. The deans, busy people that they are, also keep running smoothly the affairs of the Boys and Girls clubs. Mr. Umbaugh is not only Dean of Boys, but also Head of the English Department, and has charge of attendance. With the aid of the Student Personnel council he checks on reasons for absence in order to keep students at their most important job for the present, attending school. Dr. C. R. Maddox is also well known to the students at Thornton. As Supervisor of Instruc- tion, he administers the standardized tests which are taken by all prospective Thornton freshmen and guides the students through the labyrinth of that first baffling year at Thornton.

Stephens, Junior; and Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, Sophomore, use a rotat- ing system whereby one class principal guides a class from the sophomore through the senior year. This enables the principal to know bet- ter the members of his class, so that he can advise them with greater authority. He is re- sponsible for arranging student programs and for keeping records of student credits; he keeps a complete record of citizenship status, grades, and personality ratings for each student. Thornton ' s faculty members who are serving their country as members of the armed forces or in the department of social relations are: Mr. Paul Beck, Mr. F. J. Bright, Mr. Leo Dulgar, Miss Florence Hall, Mr. H. J. Miller, Mr. P. G. Wible, Miss Florence Wunderlich, and Mr. L. J. Yedor. Thornton ' s teachers are aaive in community life; the Red Cross, air raid jobs, and ration boards all use their senices. Many work over- time teaching in the evening school which gives the opportunity for continued education. Joseph B. Stephens, B.S., A.M. University of Chicago, University of Indiana. Mathe- matics.

Just as all roads lead to Rome, so all school business passes thro ugh the office. Records, reports, contributions, mail, tele- phone calls, announcements, and the hun- dred and one other things which arise each day are handled swiftly and smooth- ly by these workers. The records of all organization funds are kept by an office secretary with Super- intendent McVey acting as trustee. All funds are audited annually. Into the hands of these people with their other duties, which include the oper- ation of the switchboard, the public ad- dress system, and the mimeograph, is put the task of keeping the permanent records of every student. These records concern the student ' s grades, his attendance rec- ord, and his citizenship rating, as well as lists of activities in which he participates, and additional necessary information. This crew merits the respect and admir- ation held for its efficient work. i THEY STUDY f ' euciln and uln Writing, reading, speaking, dramatics, debate — there is no end to the variety of things taught by Thornton ' s Enghsh department, the head of which is Mr. O. F. Umbaugh. This is the larg- est department in the school because every stu- dent is required to take at least three years of English, and the seniors usually elect to study one and sometimes two courses. It is bewildering to try to choose a senior English class. Radio workshop, dramatics, jour- nalism, yearbook, debate, and creative writing are all attractive. Dramatics, an addition this year, was started to give students knowledge, not only of acting, but also of make-up, costuming, scenery, light- ing, and appreciation of drama. The radio workshop class vv-rites radio scripts and enacts them before the microphone. This class learns correct diction and appropriate voice quality. The creative writing class naturally does a great deal of writing, expressing ideas freely both in prose and poetry. Clear thinking and the ability to express that thought are the goals of every debater. With these qualities the student of today becomes the leader of tomorrow. Debaters, outstanding in performance, gain membership in the National Forensic league. The second and third years of English study deal with composition and literature, with some public speaking. In the freshman days students are given the opportunity of wide reading from both old and new literature. The English rental library, con- taining 18618 volumes of 214 titles, is for use in the English classes. Materials from other sources are available too. Thornton ' s library of 10,000 volumes is a source to English students as well as others. Plenty of sunshine and a friendl y atmosphere make the school library a pleasant place for work. Miss Doris Halverson and Miss Mattie Gard- ner, the librarians, are in constant demand to help perplexed students find the needed books. Their ability and willingness make the library a usable source of information. x- yyiice ci VUeeh Did you know that since 1914 students have been looking forward to their Thorntonite, a newspaper read not only by students, but also by other members of the community? The chief purpose of this official news organ of Thornton is to build good school spirit and to cement the good relations between the school and community. Additional aims are to record in news story form the major events of the school week, to give opportunity for those in- terested in such to write, and to provide enter- tainment for its readers. This year several special editions were published, namely, De- fense and Christmas issues. The eight page Defense edition was an illustrated record of the part this school is taking in widespread war efforts. In order to familiarize journalism students with the duties of every member of the staff, a rotating staff is used during the first semester. Then after students have learned which posi- tion they can best fill, a permanent staff is appointed. THORNTONITE WEEKLY STAFF ALiuagiiig edilor.

This record of Thornton, begun in 1914 under the leadership of Mr. O. F. Umbaugh, has been continuous year by year to the present time. Have you ever wondered what that man with the camera and lights was doing talcing pictures in classes and even in the halls. ' He was the photographer for the yearbook. Planning and taking pictures of representative work at Thorn- ton is only one of the major jobs of the year- book staff. Staff members are kept busy through the year by such duties as planning layouts, writ- ing, editing, typing copy, and securing adver- tisements. Hundreds of hours are spent on that necessary, but lacking in glamour, task of checking — pictures, senior lists, identifications, subscriptions, write-ups, advertisements. And thus is recorded the story of another year at Thornton. Editor-in-chief, Pat Rowlette Assistants. Lois Anderson, Kathryn Clark, La Vine Fischer, Marion Thomas Faculty.

Umbaugh ■27 Because the study of languages gives insight Into a nation ' s cultural characteristics, the pres- ent conflict has made that study more important than ever. To understand how other nations think and act, one must have a knowledge of their language. The four foreign languages taught at Thorn- ton are French, German, Latin, and Spanish ; Miss Mildred Anderson heads the department. Sine some of the most hallowed customs of our land are of foreign origin, the study of the languages of other lands helps us to under- stand better a number of the customs of our own country. French is the key which opens fascinating doors to quaint customs, graceful architecture, and once placid countrysides. German offers the student a knowledge of a substantial people who early developed great talent in medicine, mathematics, and the physi- cal sciences. No, Rome was not built in a day, nor are the language, customs, and civilization of the Romans learned in that short a time. Only long hours of study reveal the characteristics of those people who codified laws and built empires. Manana tells the story of our neighbors to the south. Realizing the increasing im- portance of our southern neighbors. Spanish classes at Thornton are growing. The present world crisis has brought about closer relation- ships between Latin and North America. I V [un and . J Ia O nvironmenl To understand present day life one must know the story of the human race from the beginning of history to the present day. As one traces hfe down through the ages, he finds that men have continually fought to preserve their rights and their liberty. Today we are continu- ing the long, hard struggle that began thousands of years ago. To understand the history of the world, to k now our country better, and to practice good conduct are the purposes of the Social Science department. Through a study of civics, students learn the rights and duties of good citizens in a democ- racy, as well as the structure of the government. Law teaches them rules for correct conduct in social and business relations, and gives the students opportunities to practice what they know by finding the solutions to hypothetical problems similar to those by which they will be confronted when they leave school. The world with its mountains and deserts, its races of all colors, its products of torrid and frigid zones, its man made boundaries, these are the subjects for study in geography. Sociology, the science of the forms, institu- tions, and functions of human groups, and eco- nomics, the science that deals with the produc- tion, distribution, and consumption of wealth, complete the work of the Social Science depart- ment under the direction of Mr. J. F. Zimmer- man. Mr. Clarence Stegmeir directs the work of those studying history. In order to understand present world relations and actions and to tell what may possibly be the results of the present world-wide conflict, man must understand what has gone before. European history tells the story from the time of the cave man to the French Revolution ; modern history, a continua- tion of European history, reveals the story of Europe from the time of the French Revolution to the present. The history of our own country teaches its students to appreciate the freedom and democracy which they so unconsciously enjoy. Students learn about men and women who have struggled to make this country the promised land and learn to appreciate the meaning of the words of the people, by the people, and for the people. ■29 rlcinalei cind Did you ever think of all the times you use mathematics? Every time you count your change upon making a purchase, number your paper for a test, or keep score for a game you use some form of mathematics. Many boys and girls who in the past have seen no use for mathematics are awakening to the fact that they have been wrong. The boys find that algebra, geom- etry, and trigonometry are necessary in branches of the armed service besides aeronautics. Girls today are taking tech- nical jobs which were formerly held by men and which require advanced mathe- matics. In the Thornton department, under the direction of Mr. Guy Phillips, each stu- dent is offered three and a half years of mathematics. The algebra of the first year seems to consist of many x ' s, y ' s, and z ' s. Plane geometry with its squares, tri- angles, and rectangles follows, and then those who wish can study advanced courses in algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry. The teachers of the Mathematics de- partment hold regularly scheduled after- school sessions for those who do not read- ily grasp the material presented. With such willing cooperation on the part of the teachers there is no reason for stu- dents not doing their best. The Science department provides an ex- cellent background for life in the scien- tific world of today. General science, which is a required course for all fresh- yest iibeS men except those girls taking physiology, touches in a cursory fashion on the sub- jects of astronomy, conservation, electric- ity, hygiene, mechanics, and weather. For those interested in knowing more about plants and animals, biology, fre- quently called the science of life, is taught in four well-equipped modern laborator- ies. Biology students learn about all kinds of living organisms, from lowly one-celled types to the gigantic Sequoia and the great whales. Much information about the human body is mastered. Test tubes filled with fluids of various colors, odd-shaped bottles, and mystic formulas spell chemistry. In this depart- ment students, many of whom are looking forward to work in the field of medicine, learn the composition of various sub- stances. As the students work on a prob- lem in class, they conduct simultaneously laboratory experiments to increase their knowledge of the subject. The study of chemistry helps the student to understand better the ever changing world in which he lives. Physics, the science of the laws and properties of matter, is where students learn the causes and effects of everyday occurrences. Heat, mechanics, machines, magnetism and electricity, light, and sound are the topics for discussion. Heads of the divisions of the Science department are: general science, Mr. L. L. Schilb; biology, Mr. A. C. Brookley; chemistry, Mr. F. W. Ring; and physics, .Mr. C L. Beier. omemaKerd in f i. the I vicihln ' f While walking down the second floor corridor, she sniffed delicious odors issuing from the general direction of the homemaking rooms. Upon nearing the vicinity she saw a bustling mass of white caps and aprons, scurrying from cupboard to workbench to stove. Yes, these girls will be well fitted to be homemakers. They are having the necessary training in the study of food and nutrition, textiles and clothing, home management and household equipment to become competent, scientific home- makers. Since the Homemaking department, under the direction of Miss Wilma V. Reed, is affiliated with the Illinois State Board of Education, it is necessary for each girl to take at least one related subject, such as physiology, general science, or biology. Taught by the school nurse. Miss Amber Ellis, the physi- ology course consists of the study of personal and mental hygiene, first aid, home nursing, and child care. Individual problems worked out in their own homes give the students practical experience. 32- (yre33ion The Art department doesn ' t endeavor to make great artists of its students. They are studying so that they may be better con- sumers of art and may obtain that understanding and working knowledge which can be acquired only through the practical experience of using art elements. Students learn to enjoy the art expression of others, great painters, sculptors, and architects of the past and present, in this department headed by Miss Dorothea Thiel. Advanced art stresses figure study, composition, and illustra- tion; commercial art shows advertising methods and media; and crafts include pottery, weaving, leather, jewelry and metalwork, woodwork, and textiles. To teach these subjects, the Art department is well equipped with airbrush and air compressor for unusual shading, a silk screen press for quantity production of posters, a kiln which the students operate for stacking and glazing their own pieces of pottery, a potter ' s wheel for shaping dishes of clay, and a loom for weaving. uhe ci cJLetter Thornton is supplying an important imple- ment of war for our country ; stenographers and many other workers needed in offices all over the land. The Business department is training students to fill vital jobs and to be more intelli- . gent consumers. Now, more than ever before, the demand for trained office workers is great. This department, under the leadership of Miss Eva L. Lieber, is conducting night classes to give those already placed in the business world an opportunity for supplementary train- ing. Because of the efficient training offered at Thornton, employers praise the quality of the work done by the graduates of the Business department. yy 34- Business students learn to type fast and ac- curately and to take shorthand rapidly. But that ' s not all. Proficiency in the use of the adding machine, mimeograph, dictaphone, and other business machines found in modern offices is part of the prescribed course of study. Then too, related subjects, such as bookkeeping, eco- nomics, commercial law, and salesmanship are not overlooked. At the end of four years a student who has taken a business course is equipped with those skills necessary to do ofiice work accurately and etficiently. -35 V V lu5lc In tne Atir The Music department is proud of its outstanding library of band, orches- tra, and choral music, and of record- ings which are used in class work. In the music appreciation classes for freshmen are taught the fundamentals of music; an advanced class, which studies musical forms, lives of com- posers, and great works of music, was formed this year. The Thornton orchestra, which in- cludes both junior college and high school students, learns its share of symphonic music by playing it. Thornton also has two bands; the first band has won many first ratings in state contests since it was organized in 1916. Besides studying marches and novelty numbers, Thornton ' s band makes use of symphonic numbers, such as the New World Symphony. Play- ing and marching for the football games, the first band pleases spectators with some of its more intricate forma- tions. Not one, but three drum majorettes and one drum major lead the band when it marches. The second band, which also appears in uniform, gains experience by playing for the basketball games. Did you know that there are four sound-proof practice studios across from the band room. ' ' It is in these that the young hopefuls take their music lessons and do their practicing. Upon open- ing the studio door a tiny crack, you ' re apt to hear a C scale tinkling on the piano or a high E on a violin. w. eii al Amidst the dust and smoke of the vvhirhng machines works the student of industrial arts or trade preparatory course. This boy, under the direction of Department Head Mr. Lawrence Britton, is being trained to help supply our great army and navy and to build the peace that follows. In the electric shop boys are seen rewinding armatures, testing motors, and making electric projects. You will also find trade preparatory electricians installing and maintaining electrical equipment. The auto mechanics learn the secrets of the internal combustion engines, transmission, and steermg gear. Your car may be found in the shop being given a general overhauling for bet- ter performance. Woodworking students have sacrificed their desire for end tables and other individual pro- jects so that Thornton can fill its quota of model airplanes for United States Army and Navy training centers. WlU Lne5 Boys bending over boards are draftin for industrial arts projects and machines to be built by machinists, wood workers, and elec- tricians. Lathe, milling machine, forge, drill press, all react to the will of boys learning skills that will make them useful workers for industry, in peace, as well as in war. In addition to the usual boys at work are seen girls, who also are learning to master the skills which will enable them to take the places in industry of men now in the armed forces. In one shop the girls are seniors and in another the workers are unemployed women preparing for shop jobs. The machine shop runs not only each day, but also each night in the week, adding to the skill and efficiency of men and women already employed in war production plants. Machine drafting, shop mathematics, and blue print read- ing are popular evening classes. -39 l- liudical J ' lin e55 One of the boasts of the Girls Physical Education department, headed by Miss Martha Carr, is that here is a class for everyone. All freshman girls are given thorough hysical examinations and assigned to classes, according to their health needs. The regular freshman class is in- troduced to several phases of physi- cal education, including dancing and swimming, but with emphasis on stunts and games. Girls who are slightly underweight or who have minor defects take modified physical education, which is individual sports of a not too strenuous nature. Rest classes are offered to girls who need a pe- riod of relaxation in the middle of the day. Upperclassmen are allowed to choose their class, swimming, rhythms, or sports. Rhythms give them an opportunity to ex- press reactions to music through dancing exercise. Sports classes learn to play team games, such as basketball, volleyball, baseball. The third year sports class offers individual sports, such as, archery, ping pong, badminton, and shuffleboard. Advanced stu- dents learn diving and lifesaving. No matter how much or how little you know about swimming, there is a class for you. id tlie Ljocil When the United States entered the second World War, every school in Amer- ica was asked by the federal government to adopt a physical training program that would properly condition students going into the armed forces. The Boys Physica Education department, headed by Mr. Jack Lipe, planned for and constructed an obstacle course similar to those in the army training camps. Special exercises prepared the students for the course. The obstacle course itself was built to simulate conditions that might actually be encountered on the battlefield. The course consists of an eight foot wall as a beginning, four three foot body hurdles, a twelve inch hand over hand climb, cross- overs, tunnels set low to the ground to crawl through, jungle climb, balancing maneuvers, five foot walls, and sprints covering 440 yards in length. At the time of the initiation of the program only juniors and seniors were expected to take part in this training pro- gram; but as the system now stands, all boys seventeen and eighteen years old are required to spend five forty-minute peri- ods weekly training on this course and at rope climbing, physical fitness exercises, and hard body contact games. SNAP irjm ir -41 THEY ARE second v.ce-preMdent, A ( . aJJ Graduation ! Four years gone, four years now of memories. As seniors those students did so many pleasant things — the prom, although not an new experience, was not to be forgotten ; the senior play, Smilin ' Through ; Flag Day, when they proudly donned caps and gowns for the first time and passed on to the juniors the responsibility of carrying on the spirit of Thorn- ton; and then Honor Day. Well represented was the class of ' 43 for honors in scholarship, speech, journalism, and athletics. Due to the efforts of the senior War Stamp and Bond committee, which organized the home room sales during the year, Thornton ' s total averaged more than five hundred dollars per week. The present group of seniors is facing more serious problems than some of the former grad- uating classes. Its members are asking them- selves, Shall I go to college now, shall I work ?««-. 1: Barbara Snyder T n R SENATE ' of 1943 in the business interests of my country, or shall I join the armed forces immediately? A num- ber of their classmates left during the year and are already serving Uncle Sam. During this senior year difficult passages were made smooth with the aid of IVIr. J. D. Mees, Class Principal, who stepped into the position left vacant by Mr. T. R. Birkhead, who had guided the class through its sophomore and junior years. Yes, at one time these serious minded people answered when someone called, Freshie! , but now the time has come for them to leave Thorn- ton. They have a higher goal to attain, that of helping to guide their nation ' s destinies. The spirit of co-operation, sense of good sports- manship, feeling of friendliness, characteristics of Thornton, will continue to guide them. Memory will frequently bring these grads back to you, Thornton. GRADUATION -45 A i v ifc -  ' LUCILLE, ACQUAVIVA ROBERT A Mm GB i- ' LUeRsON puTH ALVER3TR0M « J ...Hi y ) .

Times have changed since the Class of ' 44 entered Thornton in 1940 as freshmen. Those timid people have grown to be juniors. A real event was the junior and senior party, held this year in the evening, at which a number of the talented members of the class performed. Then there was that first prom. Olympia Fields Country Club was the place, and wonderful was the time. Instead of looking forward to leading Thorn- ton as seniors, some of the juniors are making other plans for next year ' s work. Those in the upper twenty-five per cent of the class may go on to junior college next fall with the twelve units completed at the end of the third year ' s work. Others who already took extra subjects may go to summer school to study American 68- JLNIOR SENATE Row 1 ; Louis Markes, George Steffek, Gerald Ippel, Tom Einbecker, Bobbie Bailey, Jim Scott, Edmund Oppenhuis.

Standing: Arthur Brookley, treasurer; Joan Lipe, secretary; Marjorie Hellstrom, second vice-president. No upperclassmen can get ahead of us sophomores, so this second year class decided. This class instituted the study of the T book in home rooms because its members realized the importance of the information contained therein. They studied carefully in order to pass a series of tests prepared by a faculty com- mittee. In learning parliamentary law, the material from the text, Main Motion by Slaker, was presented, not by homeroom teachers, but by the class Senators, or students designated by the Senate. Advantageous use of the knowledge gained made the class meetings more beneficial because time was not squandered on matters of minor importance. The studious sophs weren ' t always studying, however. They had their annual party of course and also took part in athletic and speech activi- ties. The direction of this Class of ' 45 falls to Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, who took charge of the class this year after Dr. C. R. Maddox had guided it through the freshmen days. Mr. Zimmerman will continue to advise this class in all problems relating to successful progres- sion throueh Thornton.

This isn ' t my class! Where is the stairway? There goes the bell. Now what? Thus went the freshman ' s first frantic weeks at Thornton. However, those freshies soon became adjusted to their new surroundings and became an integral part of them. Brain children were the freshmen of this season, for they placed themselves first on Thornton ' s honor roll. The fourteen with all A records are: George Backus, Melvm Beagle, Betsy Becker, James Bethel, George Caskey, George Clark, Marcia Owens, Marilyn Pfeifer, Robert Salter, Doris Senesac, Junetta Skye, Annetta Smith, Charles Stegmeir, and Beatrice Turek. So that the freshmen may have a chance to get acquainted with their classmates before they elect officers, the class election is not held until late in the school year. As a result, the pictures of those officers could not be included in the current publication. The officers chosen this year were: president, Campbell McConnell ; first vice-president, James Bethel ; second vice- president, Richard Jaeschke; secretary, Lorraine ' Van Dam; and treasurer, Philip Hayes. Dr. C. R. Maddox, who starts all freshmen on the road through Thornton, is the under- standing and capable adviser to the greenies. What ' s that? A sigh of relief? Those fresh- men who have already registered for next year look confidently forward to that day early in September when they can be the ones to direct bewildered newcomers to their destinations.

Ingwerson, tveiy Cy r j C luo The Girls club is teeming with activity ! Here are junior and senior girls signing up activity points for the freshman and sophomore girls who wish to earn their white and purple T ' s . The upperclassmen on the Activity Point com- mission are striving to earn their Junior and Senior Service awards, given for service ren- dered to the club by prospective members dur- ing the junior and senior years, respectively. There ' s a joint meeting tonight of the Board of Control, Division chairmen, and the Council. Each of these bodies of girls is vital to the or- ganization. The Board consists of the six major officers and of representatives from each class. It is the governing body of the club and is the group which takes final action upon all sugges- tions and ideas presented. The representative ' s duty is to bring to the Girls club a list of girls absent from her homeroom. To the girls who are ill is sent a cheery letter to keep them informed of the Thornton activities. The Council also has a representative from each home room who brings suggestions from her classmates to the monthly Council meeting. Over in this corner one sees girls busily checking the lists of absentees brought in by the Division chairmen. These girls are the Secretaries of attendance, one chosen from each class. They are the ones who write those inter- esting cards when you ' re sick in bed. These h no aaoa A i. o GIRLS CLUB DIVISION CHAIRMEN Row 1: Rosalie Laramie, Suzanne Hodgman, Barbara Anderson.

To honor those girls who merit scholarship awards, the Girls club sponsors teas and assem- blies at which due honors are given the girls who have all A ' s in four solids, fail no sub- jects, and have satisfactory citizenship ratings. Those girls who have attained the high impos- sible of seven semesters of all A ' s have their names engraved on the scholarship cup. This year four girls earned this high honor: Jeanne Baxter, Suzanne Hodgman, Jane Roman, and Mary Joanne Tawzer. Just before Christmas girls scurry in and out of the Girls club office filling baskets with food and clothing. In one corner stands a Christmas tree and in another is a box of toys for children.

The Girls club sponsors teas and banquets to entertain mothers, fathers, and teachers in an effort to show appreciation for all who have helped its members. There ring the bells for a Loyalty Day assembly ! This is the solemn and inspiring occasion on which the freshmen girls give their pledge to be loyal to themselves, the school. and their Girls club throughout the forthcom- ing years at Thornton. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors renew their pledge of loyalty. One may note, in passing the Girls club office. Miss Helen Wilson, Dean of Girls, giv- ing encouragement to a girl who has become discouraged in her work. With the help of Miss Wilson ' s kindness and understanding the Girls club continues as a major influence in the lives of Thornton ' s girls.

It may be the freshman Stand-up, but all girls, upperclassmen included, look forward to it each year. Held on a Saturday afternoon near the beginning of the school year; the in- formality of the occasion makes the new fresh- man girls realize that they are an integral part of Thornton. The moving line, an established custom of the Stand-up, is formed so that girls can shake hands with everyone. Invited guests from other schools join in the fun and promote inter-school friendships. This year movies held the spotlight. Each class presented its version of a feature of movie life. Silent days, an actress in the WAAC ' s, a western melodrama, and a style show proved the ingenuity of Thornton girls. Pop, cookies, and dancing to an all-girl orchestra filled the remainder of the afternoon.

It ' s difficult to imagine because, having been founded in 1924, it has long played an important part in Thornton affairs. This club has charge of keeping order in and around school at all times; it provides the boys of Thornton with representation in activities, and plans recreation for the fellows and their dads. The Board of Directors, composed of four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman, appoints homeroom representatives who act as delegates for every boy in school. Hall guards maintain order in the halls at all times. They also have special jobs acting as messengers and fire watchers during fire and air raid drills. 102- BOYS CLUB HOMEROOM REPRESENTATIVES Row 1: Harry Dykstra, Jack DeVries. Norman Kutcher.

Early in the evening the guests were conducted on a tour through the mazes of the Industrial Arts department, that group of workshops so intrigu- ing to those with mechanical interests. A shortened version of Shakespeare ' s classic Taming of the Shrew, wherein Petruchio by boast and humor reprimands Kate, a beautiful proud woman, until she becomes the most docile of wives, provided the main entertainment of the evening.

J- ccvents unci eacn eucner5 To carry on constructive work for better parenthood, better homes, better schools, and better communities is one of the chief aims of the Parent Teachers association. This is the organization which promotes greater co- operation between the home and the school and whose monthly meeting is held for the purpose of discussing those problems which arise con- cerning pupil welfare. After the meeting when refreshments are served, the parents are given an opportunity to become acquainted with their children ' s instruc- tors and to discuss with them individually prob- lems which have arisen. The PTA sponsors taffy apple sales. Hi Jinks night, and cooperates with the Purple X in promoting other student activities. This organi- zation annually spends large sums of money to help students with the opportunity of earning money for their books, lunches, and other nec- essary expenses. All aid provided for students is provided impersonally, and all publicity is avoided. The PTA believes in the home as the most significant institution developed by mankind for the maintenance and development of social wel- fare. What the wisest and best parent wants for his own child is that which the community should desire for all children. 109 iitke Wo,m ' Improvise! ' said Stanislovsky, is an oft repeated phrase from Out of the Frying Pan, the Boys and Girls club play, which was pro- duced to raise funds for student assembly pro- grams. The play is concerned with the story of six young people who aspire to the theater. By pooling their resources they were able to live in the apartment above Mr. Kenny, the producer, who was about to choose a cast for his road company. By ingenious thinking and fast talk- ing they corralled Mr. Kenny for a try-out. The realism of the murder scene which they enacted was such that the police swarmed in. The story unfolded quickly with a happy conclusion for all. Then on the nights of April 17 and 18, 1942, Thornton ' s auditorium rocked with laugh- u 3f ?? aae r ter when the senior play, Young April, was presented. This delightful comedy concerns the college life and loves of two young people, Terry and George Mclntyre, whose high school antics were shown a few years ago in Growing Pains. Complete sell outs testify to the excellence of the production. The stage crews this year were made up of students from the newly or- ganized dramatics class, an elective for the seniors. The class included students interested in both the acting and the production phases of dramatics. Its members wrote and acted in one- act plays and presented pantomimes and plat- form reviews, besides constructing the scenery and doing the make-up for the longer school productions. %c CHORUS Row 1 : Betty DeVries, Janice Brund, Fama Johnson, Margie Rockstroli, Shirley Van Tongeren, Barbara Cordt, Margaret Brown.

Incentive to do one ' s best is provided by the Mixed chorus whose members are chosen only after at least one year ' s work in the Boys or Girls Glee clubs. During this year the student learns to read music, to control his breathing, and to improve his tone qual- ity. At the end of each school year try- outs are held to select the members for the following year ' s chorus. The Madrigal group, organized a year ago, is open to students interested in spending additional time on vocal music work. At present twelve boys and girls rehearse regularly during the homeroom period. The popularity of the Madrigal || group is increasing, and it has already Sjpbeen called upon to perform for a number of programs. The nine girl ensemble from the first Girls Glee club is the group which pro- 112- vided music for a number of teas and club meetings throughout the year. It ' s a few days before Christmas. The air rings with beautiful old Christmas carols. You are in Thornton ' s auditorium. All eyes are focused on the purple-robed choir on the stage. As the last Noel dies away, the lights go on ; another tradi- tional concert of Thornton ' s Music de- partment is a thing of the past. You are pleased to learn that soon the choral groups will present a musical revue tracing American music through some of its most famous periods and ending with the inspiring Song of Faith by John Alden Carpenter. Then in the last month of school you thrilled to the yearly Spring concert when balmy weather prevailed and girls in sum- mer formals sang the May Day Carol with the joy that is spring. , I— rn HW Wf «a i!ii f w ULLL Cl,Lb Row 1: Cleo Broom, Jean Frank, Ardis Swank, Naomi Alverson, Jeanne Knapp, Carol Clement, Dorothy Raim- mann, Suzanne Hodgeman, Marilyn Sheahan, Marilyn Corbett, Jean Hoehne, Angela Kuris, Betty Jo Perkins, Grace Alt, Betty Millsap, Lorraine DeGroot, Carol Vander Kloot.

Uoice and ndti ument The popularity of the Boys Glee club grows from year to year. Its music, usually of the robust type that appeals to everyone, and its enthusiasm always make a hit. Appearances through the year included the Christmas pro- gram, Stand by For Action revue, Spring concert, PTA and Kiwanis programs, and above all the appearance on the High School Studio party over N. B. C. April 10. Victory concerts were the foremost project this year of Thornton ' s band. At the concerts the band played compositions by composers from South America, Russia, China, and Great Britain; the victory concerts were followed by an All-American program. These were in addi- tion to the annual band concert, this year the fourteenth concert. The football season showed the band ' s in- geniousness when it magnified throngs of peo- ple by executing novel and clever formations. Because of transportation difficulties band contests in Illinois were impracticable this year; just the soloists and ensembles took part in activities at various places in the township. At graduation and honors assemblies, as well as at athletic contests, civic celebrations, and military induction ceremonies, the band offered music which helped to make such cele- brations complete. 114- BAND Row 1 : Shirley Alford, Laurel Barnett, Ruth LaRue, Betty Simnick, Barbara Jones, Lew Achor, Virginia Jacobs.

Thornton ' s orchestra presents two con- certs each year, in addition to supplying music for the productions of the dramatic department . At the Christmas season with the help of the Chorus and Glee clubs, it presents the Christmas concert, a program in keeping with the spirit of the season. People come from near and far for the thrill that comes with the orchestra ' s splendid music. 116- edtru The annual Spring concert, again with the aid of the Chorus and Glee clubs, is a very special event because it is the last major music performance of the school year. Amo ng the numbers the orchestra will play this year is the First Movement of Cesar Franck ' s D minor Symphony, and the tuneful, melodius London Suite by Coates. 1943 marks the twenty-fifth year that the orchestra has been functioning here at Thornton. Yes, for twenty-five years this musical organization has aff orded great pleasure to Thornton students and community. No d ro.-p+ frou-bles i ef Did you Se. - mu pjcTu -e? Sfit-IhO IS Here.

The need for organized student recreation brought forth an activity, known as the open house, usually held after athletic contests, which was to prove very popular. Additional recreation in the form of student assemblies is sponsored by the Purple X. To create, maintain, and extend the ideals of Christian character throughout the school and the community is the purpose of Hi-Y. In addition to the weekly meetings the club promoted a number of social activities, includ- ing basketball games. It helped conduct the Club Sahara, dry teen-age night club, sponsored by the 111 Street Y. M. C. A. As a school service, the club maintained checkroom facilities for the Purple X open houses.

The council members work to build up attitudes against cutting school and against other in- fractions of Thornton regulations. No tattling is the rule; the members try to make cutters realize the disadvantages of being away from school. Another duty of the Student Personnel council is to mail cards to the parents of those students absent from school. The Pierian club takes its name from the Pierian spring, that mythical fountain sacred to the Muses, visited by those seeking poetic inspiration. Its aim is to gather into a group those Thornton students who enjoy writing so that they compare manuscripts. To become a member of the club, one must submit a written manuscript as proof of his interest in writing. Initiation ceremonies are held at the beginning of each semester. rv a STUDENT PERSONNEL COUNCIL Row 1: Shirley Cope, Mary Herthel, O. F. Umbaugh, Fred Diekman, Jean Hagins.

They learn to focus a camera correctly, to take time exposures, and to use light to the best advantage.

On June first in a flurry of long skirts and the thickest possible fog we split, almost, our sides laughing at some of the senior boys in their ham version of Cyrano de Bergerac. Our resistance was low, ' specially after the de- licious banquet, and our surprise was unending at seeing the Thornton ' s well-known cafeteria transformed into the Chicago skyline after dark. I heard tell that in preparation for the transformation some of the boys were so splat- tered with luminous paint that they made a good imitation of the Milky ' Way. After the banquet we sliced our way through the fog to the Lincolnshire Country Club, where we waltzed and jitterbugged to the music of Carl Schreiber. After dancing in the far off world of Blue Heaven till one, the super- delicious, wonderful, glamorous Prom ended!!!

Six wins balanced against two losses. That ' s Thornton ' s football record for the 1942 season. The Purple started out with a victory over an easy Morton team, a victory impressive in score in spite of the muddy condition of the field. The following week Thornton met West Aurora on its field. Play was practically flawless the first half, and although the team let up a little in the second, it defeated West Aurora, 19-12. Thornton then proceeded to take a close one from Cal City. The game was high-lighted by ground-gaining runs by Rateree and counter- attacks by Cal City ' s La Nue. After four excit- ing quarters, Thornton emerged victorious, but with only a two point margin. The boys evi- dently thought this was too close for comfort and downed Morgan Park with a one-sided 12-0. For no apparent reason, this seemed to be the year to lose when everyone was thinking just the opposite. With everyone confident, everyone except the coaches, who are just naturally pes- simistic, Thornton set out to conquer Argo, only Crjittiiiiied on pag 1 0 120- 1 — Harry Robertson, full back.

This game lacked excitement and interest in the first quarters, but it was a real thriller in the last quarter when Thornton scored but failed to convert. The impact of this defeat was eased a little by a 6-0 win over Kankakee in a seesaw affair in which neither team seemed to make much progress. A loss to Bloom blacked out any joy that was to be had from the KKK vic- tory. This game had a lot of individual stars, and many still contend that smart quarterback- ing by Mr. Schwoefferman of Bloom was the predominant factor in Thornton ' s defeat. The opposing team conceded Jock Robertson to be Thornton ' s chief threat, and, truly, it seemed he couldn ' t be stopped when he carried that ball. The Purple finished its season with an easy win over Blue Island, 19-12. The frosh-soph football boys are the ones who will play next season as Thornton ' s varsity. The ' 42 team won every game and overwhelm- ingly defeated Thornton ' s chief rival. Bloom, in the final contest, 26 to 12.

D.- nere 6 the Ip-off The flying Clouds this year did not average the usual upwards of six feet. John Gailey (3), senior and forward, was one of the few tall men on the team. He and Bennett were usually the ones to retrieve the ball from the board. Henry Rateree (7), senior with three years of varsity experi- ence, was the veteran of the team. His passes and shots were at times almost unbelievable to both spectator and player, es- pecially to the opponent. Dede Clark (6), forward, the shorty of five feet plus, was fast, always on the move, leading the team on a fast break into the basket. In spite of his lack of longitude, he was the team ' s high scorer. Ray Gesche (8), guard, turned out to delight the spectators with his timely last minute tallies which won several tight games for the Purple. Deadly accurate shots from any place on the court and passes which seldom failed to reach their destina- tion made him a valuable member of the five. Hendry Stick Bennett (4), the tallest man on the team, was invaluable in helping to get rebounds from the backboard. A junior, Stick has played varsity ball for two years and will be here for next year ' s team. John Ross ( 1 ) , substitute guard, saw much action and would have seen even more if a boy named Rateree had played an- other position. Tall, lanky Harold Shymkus, the junior who played center and forward positions, developed rapidly during the season. He has a g5od one-hand push shot. Lou Benson (5), the only soph among the basketeers, played forward. This is his first year of varsity competition. Howard Ginter (2), forward and senior, played a good part of the time, interchanging position with Gailey. Only lack of height prevented his playing even more. Thornton won some close games this year from teams rated better by most dopesters, but the victories were gained not by luck or loose playing, but good, hard, clean ball. In the South Suburban league, the Clouds finished second with eight wins and two loses, one to Kankakee and one to Cal City. The arch rival, Bloom, was defeated both times by lopsided scores, 35-22 and 36-23, much to the joy of the home fans. The thrill- ing game was the one with Cal City here ; the game was tied up until the last second when Gesche plunked in a long one- handed shot to clinch the long part of the score for the Clouds.

Art 137 eJuauu AoneA cJLoclier Away down at the bottom of the sea, far deeper than the longest fishing line could ever reach, lay the wreck of an ancient ship. Doors had been cut in its water worn timbers, and on the side hung a sign, Davy Jones ' Locker, Board and Lodging at Reasonable Rates. There among the fishes, those lost at sea found places for themselves. Thus the waves rolled forth another girls swimming pageant. Bold pirates, beautiful mermaids, and bright- ly colored sunfish raced, dived, swam, and performed somersaults and other aquatic tricks. After walking the plank to end in comic dives, the girls proved their ability to do graceful swans, jackknives, and back dives. A fitting reward for their industry in perfecting all phases of the pageant was the three packed houses which witnessed the performance. MISSES CARR, BEGNOCHE, GRAY l- lccu j-or . J ealtn Bowling, archery, badminton, basketball are a few of the many sports offered to the girls of Thornton by the Girls Athletic Association. Each year more than two hundred girls par- ticipate in these sports, thereby earning their numerals, three inch T ' s, or large T ' s. Numer- als are earned in the same way for participation in five sports; special awards in the form of large T ' s are presented by the G. A. A. Board to girls considered outstanding, not only in sports, but also in service to the organization. The annual basketball banquet is the main event of the year. On the day the basketball tournament is completed, new members are in- itiated and awards are distributed. The class winning the most tournaments throughout the year has its class title and numerals engraved on the trophy cup. Besides the banquet, social activities include splash parties, hikes, and picnics. In order to bring into closer relationship the girls of Thorn- ton and girls of nearby suburban schools, those girls are invited to Play Days, where competi- tion is all for the fun of play and exercise. In 1941 the Leaders Club, a new branch of G. A. A., was organized. The members are girls who, in addition to being good athletes, are able to direct other girls. Two or three assist the physical education instructor in e ach fresh- man class. «: :« ' I l gl G. A. A. BOARD Row 1 : Fay WaMen, Rosalie Laramie, Lois Brandt, Betty Fredrickson, Dona Koss.

Lacking formulae for the selection of men, we must rely on three stable factors — ability, personality, and character. Ability has no substitute, for it is a badge not lightly worn, a recognition of performance, a laurel bestowed by personal demonstration and not by ancestry. Personality is that light by which ability makes its way. Personality has the power to open many doors, but character must keep them open. Character is what every man seeks in another. The priceless possession of an individual, it still exists only in the estimation of his friends. Philip A. Reed STANDARD PHOTO ENGRAVING COMPANY 337 W.
