TVMtem S 7Hc1 etfi Leading, urging, guiding the progress of Thorn- ton Township High School for the past twenty- live years has been its superintendent, Dr. William Estus McVey. Behind this vital social movement, that had its beginning in 1898, are the energy, loy- alty, enthusiasm, and courage of this man whose nobility of character makes him an outstanding leader. As superintendent, Dr. McVey has inspired students in increasing numbers with his calm faith and inherent belief in the capability of high school students to be good citizens. His own actions re- veal to the students and to all who work with him a truly educated man. His tolerance and sympathy, conscientiousness and fair dealing, efficiency and fidelity, leadership and friendship make him truly a leader of men. Dr. McVey ' s personal achievements have brought honor to Thornton as well as to himself. During the current year he has served as president of the North Central Association of American Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1942 he was made a Doctor of Philosophy by the University of Chicago. Dr. McVey ' s Alma Mater, Ohio University at Athens, Ohio, awarded him on June 15, 1943, a Certificate of Merit in recognition of distinguished attainments in the field of educational administra- tion. This honor is conferred annually on not more than ten alumni of Ohio University, chosen by the Alumni Association, who have achieved dis- tinction in their respective fields of work. The man, who through his own ideals and dreams has been the guiding power in the growth of the ideals and traditions of a school that num- bered a student body of five hundred when he became its superintendent in 1919, is the man who today is called upon to guide a student body of twenty-five hundred through the maze of a war torn world. His belief in the ability of the high school student and in the democratic institution as revealed by Thornton encourages faith in free- dom for a war free world. To this leader and friend on his silver anniver- sary of service to Thornton Township High School the class of 1944 dedicates its yearbook. wid 0 Sdcccattott Mr. A. H. McDougall Mr. G. H. Gibson Mr. Walter Haines Mr. Edwin Waterman Mr. Frank Cowing Were it not for the constant vigilance and wise leadership of the five men who make up the Board of Education of Thornton Township High School, that school might not have attained the position it holds today. These men who undertake the responsibility of directing Thornton Township High School and Junior College are elected for a period of three years each by the people of Thornton Township. The terms of office are staggered, two members being elected the first year, two the next, and one the third year. President of the group is Mr. A. H. Mc- Dougall, who is a consulting adviser in the Chicago office of Manning, Maxwell, and Moore, New York engineering firm. Mr. G. H. Gibson, vice president of the board, before retirement was President of the Chi- cago Steel Car Company. Mr. Walter Haines is Thornton Township Collector, Mr. Frank P. Cowing, a Homewood attorney-at-law, and Mr. Edwin R. Waterman, a farmer and 2?- banker of South Holland. The secretary and the attorney of the Board of Education are elected by the group; those offices are filled by Mr. Clarence W. Waaso and Mr. Burton Evans, respectively. The school treasurer, Mr. A. F. Waldschmidt, is elected by the three trustees of the township. Important duties of the Board are to em- ploy and maintain an outstanding superin- tendent and faculty and to direct the school ' s financial policies. Because of the far-sighted- ness and sagacity of these men, Thornton con- tinues to maintain the high financial rating which it gained for itself years past. The outstanding records of service on the Board of Education of Mr. Gibson and Mr. McDougall, thirty-two and thirty-one years respectively, are worthy of special commenda- tion. Because of long time service records such as these the Board is able to sustain a stable plan of exacting efficiency and a reso- lute policy of high values. fe r Jn iHemonam On Christmas morning 1943 William Howard Montelius died after more than twenty-five years of service at Thornton Township High School. His death closed a portion of the hearts of those friends behind. To his students Mr. Monty was friend as well as teacher. Those to whom he gave the priceless gift of music will write his ultimate tribute in the language he taught them to understand. ' His music in my heart I bore Long after it was heard no more. — Wordsworth 74 elcame Who am I? I am the ghost of Thornton Past. I have seen Thornton grow from an infant through adolescence to the proud beauty she is today. What am I doing here? I have come to tell you her history. It all started back in 1892 when Harvey High School, under the leadership of Mr. J. E. Cable and a faculty of four, was organized. The school was very small, and soon the district was demanding a larger unit. Answering this call, Thornton Township High School was born. No one then expected its enrollment of ninety-six to be increased thirty-fold. In order to accommodate an ever increasing student body, plans for a new building were drawn up, and in 1900 the original section of the present building was dedicated. The portals of this structure still bear the proud title of Main Entrance and continue to awe freshmen with their manifest pride. And so Thornton grew. In 1910 additions were made to accommodate eighteen teachers and one hundred and thirty four pupils. As Thornton grew in number, it grew in spirit. Her pupils held their heads high and swelled with pride at mention of her name. By the turn of the decade Thornton ' s number soared to more than five hundred and was still growing, growing, growing. In 1926 additional units were completed, and finally in 1937 when the enrollment was about 2500, the latest additions were made. This is the story of Thornton ' s first half-century of progress! Though her size and number may not continue to increase indefinitely, her spirit and endeavor will continue to soar and her alumni will always strive to live up to her motto, Knowledge is Power. --wSSSSSS .- ' ■ • ' V ' .

I watch Thornton work and play. I see her build strong, intelligent citizens from giddy grade-school youngsters. I see her send boys and girls off to war armed with the best weapon of all, knowledge that is power. Let me tell you about the other things I see at Thornton today. I see lathes, cylinders, engines of all kinds being studied by, of all things, girls ! In their grimy overalls they are preparing themselves for war jobs. There are boys too. They are preparing themselves to release a man to fight or to be better fighters themselves. I see more students than ever before studying the ever-important mathematics, a necessary tool for better pilots and officers for victory. I see the homemakers of the future. They will be well-fortified with information on how to build a healthier populace. I see people preparing themselves for the business world. They are answering that desperate call for more typists, more stenographers, more and better trained business people ! I see and hear those talented students who bring cheer and comfort to a downhearted world, the musicians. Through their experience in the musical organizations, Thornton- ites learn to appreciate both vocal and social harmony. I also see and hear boys and girls learning to speak correctly, to write entertainingly, and to understand more thoroughly the English language. The students of today will be the leaders of tomorrow, inspiring the world through pen and tongue. Speaking of tongues, I see and hear them twisting in all directions in the mouths of the foreign language students. These linguists will help to bring about better inter- national peace through their understanding of the other fellow. I see bubbling acids, smoking Bunsen burners, dirty test tubes, all agents for teaching practical chemistry to the rising Curies and George Washington Carvers of Thornton. My science department builds a sound foundation for the knowledge and practice of better things through better living . I see strong and healthy bodies being formed in my physical education classes. This department offers practice in good sportsmanship, which is so essential in our lives. And I see boys and girls studying history. They are learning of modern man ' s ante- cedents, they are studying political history, they are learning the principals of democracy. They will make intelligent voters for the future. This is Thornton today, living for the present, preparing for the future. I ' m the ghost of Thornton Future. I foresee in my crystal ball the future of Thornton Tov nship High School. I could say that students of the future will no longer have to climb stairs period after period, but will instead be able to hop on an escalator and be deposited on the next floor with no effort at all. Or I could say that tomorrow ' s pupils will sit in plastic chairs, write on glass desk tops, study in sound-proof rooms, read by natural light. I could go on to tell you that future educators will teach through advanced visual aids and that pupils of tomorrow will not have to drag home millions of books, but will simply gaze into their television screen and let the knowledge sink in. But neither I nor anyone else can promise these things to hopeful students. The only thing that I can promise is that Thornton students will always be working toward the highest goals in scholarship, in sportsmanship, and most of all in spirit. They will be leaders because such is a part of their training, bred in them through association with each other and with faculty members. From Thornton will come the leaders of tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. This I can promise you, for this is Thornton. rfcUtoieti4 iat i4 William E.

Students at Thornton derive some of this, ' tis true, from books ; but the greater part is from their associates in learn- ing, the teachers. Few realize what a tremendous job is placed on the shoulder of faculty members! Their work extends much farther than the classroom. Through daily contact with them students benefit in all phases of life. By them the younger members of the school are shown patience, tolerance for another ' s views, and steadfast effort to help in any way possible. Helene E.

Class of 1944 Two of these members, perhaps more closely in touch with the students than the others, are the deans, Miss Helene Wilson and Mr. O. Fred Umbaugh. To them are brought many personal problems of the individual student. The under- standing guidance given each re- quest is an intangible addition to the student ' s quest for learning. Be- sides being personal advisers, the deans expertly manage the affairs of the Girls and Boy ' s Clubs. In addition to the deans there are class principals. To these faculty members is assigned the task of being personal guide to each student in his high school journey. By a rotating system, Mr. J. B. Stephens, Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, and Mr. J. D. Mees, each has charge of a class from its sophomore year through its last year at Thornton. This system enables the principal to become well acquainted with the boys and girls of his class and to aid them in their problems. To Dr. C. R. Maddox falls the job of getting the fresh- man class in line for its sophomore year. He makes each newcomer feel at home in Thornton and ready for the ensuing terms under a new principal. These four men also keep extensive records of the work, play, and conduct of the pupils. This enables a would-be employer to obtain an understanding of the student ' s per- sonality as well as of his scholastic ability. These reports are a composite of the reports made by the classroom teachers. Along with all the other fond memories of Thornton, the graduate recalls the kindness and willingness with which the fac- ulty rendered each service asked of it. Under the influence of their guidance he hopes to become the type of citizen they would have him to be. e£ty T ??™, Pis ,, Clifford R.

Assistant Superintend- ent of Buildings and Grounds. t 7%autte tOHce The office, located in the southwest corner of Thornton Township High School, is a most important part of the building, one of the busiest parts too. Early in the morning both students and teachers are seen in the office, teachers getting mail and notices, students get- ting new locker keys, claiming lost articles, or getting necessary information. Permanent rec- ords which are of use to prospective employers of Thorntonites are carefully kept. Announcements over the public address sys- tem originate in the office. Lost articles are brought there to await claim by their owners. Mimeographing, telephone calls, and school correspondence are a few more of the many jobs the office staff handles. Miss Constance Lovejoy is secretary to Super- intendent William E. McVey. Misses Helena Haderer, Edith Kordewich, Dorothy McCord, Marilyn Newell, and Jane Ridder complete the office staff. Without this staff of able workers, the wheels of Thornton wouldn ' t move so smoothly as they do. eacUp fin 7{ o i6 axo t When it comes to choosing an English class, the senior has all the luck! He may select a course from several different ones. The English department, under the supervision of Mr. O. F. Umbaugh, is the largest department in the school due to the fact that all Thornton students are required to take at least three years of English. Sixteen teachers make up the department. In his last year the student may elect the kind of English he chooses. This last year of English is sometimes far from the fundamentals of reading and writing. Perhaps the student will choose to work on the yearbook, take part in plays, or write radio scripts for the workshop. The senior probably recalls his first days at Thornton, his freshman year, when his English consisted of acquiring a wider knowledge of litera- ture through reading many books from the English rental library. This library, which as far as is known is one of the few, if not the only one of its kind, contains more than 19,000 volumes of both modern and classic books. Although these sets of books are used chiefly by the freshman classes, any pupil may charge out a book upon requisition of a teacher. One of the most popular books among Thornton ' s students at present is Lloyd C. Douglas ' The Robe, of which the li- brary contains 200 copies. The Human Comedy, See Here, Private Hargrove, Thunderhead, The Bright Land, and My Friend Flicka are some of the newer books which are also popular. The Hoosier Schoolmaster, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and The Education of Hyman Kaplan are some ScAottiAA of the older ones still widely read by the students. Besides the English rental library Thornton is proud of its other library con- taining more than ten thousand volumes. There students spend hour after hour do- ing reference work under the guidance of Miss Ruth Glass and Miss Mattie Gard- ner, librarians. The senior will remember too his soph- omore year when he struggled through a sea of verbs, adverbs, and conjunctions; his junior year when he gave a speech in public speaking or wrote a composition and felt a tinge of self-satisfaction over a piece of well-done work. Then came his last year ! There he had a chance to splurge on his English course. The only problem is which to choose. If he wants to look behind the scenes, if he wants to charm an audience into breath-taking quietness, then he will cer- tainly choose to study dramatics. There he will be taught stage craft, lighting, and make-up, as well as acting. The senior course in radio workshop instructs in writing radio scripts and in voice culture. The name of creative writ- ing reveals its nature. Pupils write numer- ous essays and short stories. Then there is the debate class. This is especially interesting now because of the many world-wide problems open for dis- cussi on. Clear thinking and skill in ex- pressing ideas is every debater ' s goal, and after this comes the desire to gain mem- bership in the National Forensic League. Senior students may also choose to take part in the publications, the weekly news- paper or the yearbook, both entitled The Thorntonite . u4uteA4, ei ty6 We need stenographers, bookkeep- ers, comptometer operators ! We need workers! is the constant call at the door of Thornton ' s Business Depart- ment. With more and more men going to the armed forces, the vacant seats of business and vital industry must be filled, and Thornton is doing its part giving thorough training to its stu- dents. Under the guidance of Miss Eva L. Lieber, the department not only pro- duces fast, accurate typists and speedy shorthand writers, but it trains stu- dents in the use of the adding machine, dictaphone, ditto machine, mimeo- graph, and other machines found in the business world of today. There are also relative subjects, such as economics, bookkeeping, and salesmanship, which further the training of efficient workers. After completing four years of the Business course, a person isn ' t a stu- dent any more, but a trained individual ready for the business world. He can accept a position with confidence, knowing he has been well trained to do an efficient and accurate job. Thornton is also conducting night classes for those who want additional training to better themselves in the field of business. 4 accent rfnefaveb The Social Science Department, is divided into three sections, history, economics, and civics. Mr. C. C. Steg- meir heads the history group and Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, the economics and civics. Students wishing to study history may choose from one of three groups: European history, the study of man ' s development from the cave man stage to the time of the French Revolution ; modern history, which begins its study with the French Revolution and con- tinues to the present day; or American history, a subject required of every student before he can be graduated from Thornton, which teaches of the birth and growth of the United States. If a student wishes to learn more about the rights and duties of our government, he may choose to study civics. Maybe a student wants to know more about his legal rights; if so, commercial law is the subject for him. Economics, the science that investigates the con- ditions and laws affecting the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth, is popular among upper classmen. ' potetyt P6ncL4e4, Today as people look forward to the postwar world, a world of closer international cooperation, the Foreign Language Department assumes an ever increasing important role in the development of the future leaders of America. Headed by Miss Mildred Anderson, this depart- ment offers courses in French, German, Latin, Spanish, and Russian. Not only do the students learn to speak and read the language, but they receive an understanding of the culture, customs, and ideals of other peoples as expressed in their native tongues. With this understanding comes intelligence to cope with world problems and a sympathy and tolerance toward other peoples, which might not otherwise be. French classes offer a knowledge of the beautiful language and the quaint customs of the French people, as well as an understanding of and perhaps a way of strengthening the weaknesses of the people, as shown by the present war. In direct contrast to the situation which prevailed during the first World War, an increase in the number of German classes has become necessary, proof of the open-mindedness of America ' s youth. The study of Latin reveals the civilization of the ancient Roman empire builders. It acquaints pupils with their great literary heritage and aids in under- standing the English language. The language of our neighbors to the south, Spanish, is at present the most popular foreign language at Thornton. Realization of the impor- tance of the Latin-American countries, coupled with the growing interest in Pan-Americanism, explains the number of students in the Spanish classes. Russian is a new language at Thornton. Since this country is one of our allies in the present war, Russia will be close to us in the future, and we may very possibly in the near future need to be able to speak with these peoples in their own language, as well as with the Latin-Americans. yteatune 7ttanvel What is one-third of Thornton ' s student body doing this year? Study- ing one of the mathematics courses offered, algebra, plane geometry, ad- vanced algebra, solid geometry, or trig- onometry. That dry stuff? Why? Thornton students have learned that x ' s and y ' s plus triangles and signs may give them a chance to soar into the Navy or Army Air Corps or a ticket to a college or university. Is it any wonder then that teachers this year find students grind- ing away to pass that algebra exam in- stead of letting it ride ? Non-mathe- maticians received a rude awakening to the increasing use and demand for dusty Mr. Euclid and Mr. Pythagoras in numerous qualification tests for the Air Corps. The members of the thirty-eight classes now organized under the direc- tion of Mr. Guy Phillips and his associ- ates are finally realizing that the short cuts help immensely in solving difficult problems. After the war everyone will en- counter more complex machines pro- duced through the aid of modernized mathematics. The methods of mathe- matics reveal the principles by means of which man is able to build and invent greater tools. The struggle with math is not in vain, for invention equals work times initiative, which in itself is a mathematical deduction. TtwttuniKy Basic in the Thornton ' s four year science course is general sci- ence, required of all first year students except girls taking phys- iology. In the series of the four main high school branches of science, namely, general science, biology, chemistry and physics, the student is enabled to become better acquainted with the science by lectures and experiments. The freshman is able to discover his interests as well as to learn to develop sound judgment. The study of living things may be said to define the sci- ence of biology. In this study the young biologist is carried to the day by day events which occur in microscopic life as well as in visible plants and animals. Writ- ten matter is supplemented by means of field trips and the analysis of cellular formations by means of microscopes. Advanced biology, directed by Mr. A. C. Brookley, Head of the Biology Department, is a com- paratively new course designed to enlarge upon points merely mentioned in the primary course. Its object is to prepare the high Tfatune school graduate for adult life. The learner is carried through the geologic idea as to how our earth began and its evolution through the ages. Step by step he follows the seven great geolog- ical eras of the earth ' s history up to the Psychozoic era, wh ere man ' s prim- itive path reaches the highway of pres- ent-day life. Man acquires as he pro- gresses a truthful and orderly concept concerning himself and his environ- ment. Electrons, atoms, molecules and chemical laws make up the theoretical side of the vivid and colorful study of chemistry. The student chemist carries out experiments originally designed by the masters themselves; names like Faraday, Priestley, and Lavoisier, together with their research, are com- mon knowledge to the chemist. As the student progresses in chemical knowl- edge, a proportional increase is noted in the increased complexity of his ex- perimental work. Near the end of the term he is carried up to the present-day world of plastics and synthetics, which, although a course in itself, is briefly outlined. As Head of the Department, Mr. Fred Ring and his associates con- tinue to help students become the builders of the world of tomorrow. Do HC4tic ' DcuhmU Hm-m-m, it smells good in the vicinity of the Home Economics De- partment. Its members are learning to become homemakers under the di- rection of the four teachers headed by Miss Wilma Reed. The general aim of homemaking is education for home and family living, which in the present world is more important than ever before. The scar- city of food, textiles, house furnishings, and equipment make it necessary to utilize supplies wisely and to conserve equipment. In order to maintain a high standard of health, students learn the principles of nutrition which they apply both in school and at home in planning menus which meet the food needs of the fam- ily. Since textiles too have gone to war, it is of vital importance to know how to conserve material and to renovate old garments, as well as to make new ones. Studying isn ' t the only phase of this department. At numerous luncheons and teas the girls gain experience in problems of organization and table service, as well as in etiquette and good manners. ' Paint PedcUena It is the purpose of the Art Depart- ment of Thornton not only to develop the artistic skill of its students, but also to teach them the practical appli- cation of art in their daily lives. The Head of Thornton ' s Art Department is Miss Dorothea Thiel. The freshman class is taught the principles and elements of design while the advanced classes are taught specialized art, which stresses figure composition and either commercial art, which does posters and advertising for the school, or crafts, which include weaving, pottery, metalwork, jewelry, leatherwork, textile, and woodwork. So that the students may turn out effective pieces of art, the department has been furnished with an airbrush and silk screen press for the use of the commercial art class. K2WP5? Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do ! Whether in the bathtub or behind the doors of room 146, such practice is ex- pected of the vocally inclined. The goal of all Thornton ' s singers is to be able to join Madrigal group. These singers are likely to begin prac- tice at any hour in the morning and never seem to let up. Then come the warblers of the A Capella Choir. This group made up of both boys and girls is kept busy accept- ing or refusing the great number of quests for performances. These stu- dents meet the third period, as anyone in the vicinity of 146 at that time cer- tainly knows. For Thornton ' s girl carolers, the two girls glee clubs, Les Chantueses and The Melody Maids, were created. These two clubs are just stepping stones to the higher musical organiza- tions although they too give many suc- cessful performances throughout the year. To freshmen especially it is an honor to be admitted to either of these groups. Just because it wasn ' t polite, the 7%a6 te Boys ' Glee Club hasn ' t been men- tioned. This doesn ' t mean that they ' re not good or not active. Quite the con- trary the boys hold their own in the Musical Department. Thornton is proud of her tenors and basses. Come the plays, the concerts, the operetta, the assemblies; and then comes Thornton ' s Orchestra. The stu- dents behind the horns and bows pro- vide music for all major events and spend many hours of practice in order to improve their playing. And when the drum majorette struts down the field, people know the Band is behind her. Besides inspiring school spirit at all athletic events, the Band plays for most of the assemblies. Congratulations to the boys and girls who defy the cold to put on a good show. This constitutes the Music Depart- ment. Besides the activities already mentioned, these groups collaborate to present the Christmas Concert, the mid-year review, the Spring Festival, and, for the first time in several years, an operetta. A i W m Wtecfasucal Dust ! Smoke ! Shavings ! The whir of an engine, the sing of a saw, alert hands and minds, all work as one in the job of teaching Thornton boys the art of industry. And industry is an art, an art in which only those who have the will can succeed. Thornton ' s background for the four year industrial arts picture is elementary industrial arts, taught to freshmen. They learn the principles of electricity, auto mechanics, metal work, woodworking, and sketching. The finer points in the picture are then brought out by advanced classes in each of the above subjects. In the electric shop boys rewind armatures, test motors, and do electric projects. The trade preparatory electricians install and maintain electrical equipment. Many of the boys hope to use some of the knowledge gained when they enter the armed forces. Those boys with the grease spotted coveralls and those armed with screw drivers and wrenches are soldiers of the auto mechanics army. Learning the secrets of internal combus- tion engines, transmission, and steering gear lead them to jobs such as crew chiefs on B-24 ' s. With Thornton ' s quota of airplane models for the Army and Navy filled, woodworking students are returning to the making of end tables and other individual projects. THett Then there are the boys who make lathes, milling machines, forges, and drill presses react to their will. These boys are learning skills that are extremely necessary not only during the war, but during peace. Behind all this there are those who do the drafting of plans for industrial arts projects. The boys work over boards drawing plans for machines to be built by the machinists, wood workers, and electricians in this art of industry picture. This picture is not blacked out by the ringing of the 3:30 bell. It merely takes on a new cast, that of girls, working, training, learning new skills, finding new ambitions, so that they may take their well earned place on the production front. One does not find the shops of T.T.H.S. idle for any length of time. Evening finds new and different hands working to learn the skills of essential jobs. Since 1935 this part of the wheel of education, the art of industry, has been kept rolling by Mr. Lawrence Britton, Head of the Industrial Arts Department. He and his able staff of teachers have made the shops of T.T.H.S. an arsenal of education. . ?4t6Cetic It is the policy of the Girls Physical Education Department, headed by Miss Martha Carr, to offer physical education to suit all types of girls. The sports classes are used mainly to develop good body mechanics, good sportsmanship, and to increase physical and mental alertness. Sports I classes learn the fundamentals of team sports. They learn the rules of the games and are given a chance to develop skill in them. Sports II classes improve their skill in these games and participate in class tournaments. Sports III classes are composed of girls who want to learn individual sports, such as ping pong, badminton, and archery. One of the most popular activities for the girls is swimming. In these classes, as in the sports classes, the girls are divided according to ability. At the beginning of each year fresh- men are given a complete physical ex- amination. Some girls are found to be under weight or to have defects which prevent them from taking part in more active sports. For these girls the department offers rest classes, individual sports, or modified classes. By taking advantage of this varied program, a girl can be- come proficient in any or sev- eral of the activities that are offered. rfntic Boys who came back from gym in a slightly battered and exhausted condition may be those who have been participating in the physical training program which is designed to condition students going into the armed forces. All boys seventeen and eighteen years of age are required to spend five forty-minute periods weekly being conditioned. The entire Boys Physical Education Department, under the direction of Mr. Jack Lipe, is being toughened-up. Besides playing so-called basketball (beside it football looks like tiddly- winks) the five-day-a-weekers must run the obstacle course in three minutes, do 2 5 push-ups, 10 chin-ups, and 25 leg-lifters. A special nine week commando swim- ming course is conducted by Mr. Frank Froschauer for those boys 17 years of age or over who intend to enter a branch of the armed services for which swimming is a requirement. Sophomore boys may also take part in swimming classes under the instruction of Mr. Froschauer. Classes conducted by Mr. Ernest Cirou concentrate on marching and calisthenics. 4J5| ' Mr. Carl Mendenhall ' s classes do a great w =deal of tumbling, boxing, and wrestling. eadty ta £e w gtoM ?944 SENIOR CLASS PRINCIPAL Mr. Stephens and Mary Ann Falknor Four years ago the seniors thought grad- uation would never come. But it really did come and with it all the memories of the past four years. That first year found the freshies as bewildered as any freshmen had ever been. During the first half of the year they got lost, forgot locker combinations, confused their schedules, and rushed around like mad to get to classes on time. But toward the end of the year they did a good job of settling down to life at Thornton. The freshman party was held in four different places in the school, the audi- torium, the little theater, the girls gym, and the cafeteria. Talented members of the class entertained in the auditorium, there were games in the gym, class mem- bers danced in the little theater, and re- freshments were served in the cafeteria. During the sophomore year the class formed its Senate, a new departure for underclassmen. The Senate was composed of one member from each sophomore homeroom; this group met, discussed, and worked out class problems as they arose. The plan proved successful. At the close of the football season the SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Ruth Hansen, Secretary; Ray Geschke, President; Bobbie Row Bailey, 1st Vice President Alec Clark, Treasurer. Carl Geffert, 2d Vice President; class held its sophomore party to honor the football players. At last they were upperclassmen! There were a lot of new things for them that junior year. Twelve junior girls took places in the spotlight as the May Queen and her court. The Prom was held at Olympia Field Country Club where even the rain didn ' t dampen the spirits of the gay dancers. Their last year was even more memor- able than the first three. They had another combined Junior-senior party. It was an evening party held in the cafeteria with music for dancing and with tasty refresh- ments. Life at Thornton for them has not been made up of just parties and social events. The seniors played their part in promoting bond and stamp sales, making the clubs and organizations of school run smoothly, being victorious on the athletic field, and setting a commendable example of school spirit for the classes which follow. They have made a lasting place for themselves in the history of Thornton, and Thornton has made an even more lasting place in their lives.

One of the greatest honors that can come to a student of Thornton is to be chosen a member of the National Honor Society. The membership pin of this society is known every- where as a badge of high achievement. Qualification for membership in the National Honor Society is based on scholarship, character, leadership, and service to the school. The schol- arship qualification is determined by the grade records which juniors or seniors have accumu- lated through their years in high school. A list of students who qualify scholastically is sent to each faculty member who votes for those that he feels meet the other qualifications. Until last spring only seniors of Thornton were eligible for election to the National Honor Society. At that time twenty-two juniors, as well as fifty-five seniors were elected to mem- bership. This year the group took charge of War Stamp and Bond sales. Ellen Marie Myrberg was elected president of the organization and was in charge of these sales. She was assisted by Donald Jones and Janet Cron. Upon Ellen ' s graduation in January, Mary Thorsen took charge of the sales. Last year Alice Moravek was in charge and was assisted by Leonard Broderick and Dureen Moll. In the spring Alice and Leonard were elected to the National Honor Society. Thornton also has its local honor roll which is composed of students who have a 4.1, or B plus, average through four years of high school work. The necessary scholastic standing auto- matically elects a student to membership in the Thornton Honor Roll. On Flag Day there is always hustle, bustle, and hum throughout the halls of Thornton. It is the first time the seniors don cap and gown, and as a result they feel quite important and excited. But as they pass on to the campus to surround the flag pole, they become exceedingly serious as they think of the significance of the day. This year the Flag Day ceremony seemed more inspiring than ever. It brought to mind the boys who are serving their country. Many of these boys are our friends, boys who had been in school with us. Then in keeping with the tradition established, the senior class presented a flag to the junior class. As the flag was raised, all gave the Pledge of Allegiance ; and as the Star Spangled Banner was played, stu- dents realized more than ever what the Stars and Stripes mean to Americans. Thornton has pledged that only Stars and Stripes shall fly from its flagpole. • -■■ ' . Ja 7 e tyieat ' Day Graduation. How can one word sum up so much? That word stands for four years of work and play, now com- pleted, four years of new experiences, friends, jobs, and honors. The peak of every student ' s high school career comes on graduation night. Now in war time the seniors have emerged not as boys and girls, but as young men and women about to face a war time world. With faces reflecting the solemnity of the occasion, the seniors approach the athletic field of the high school, marching to the traditional strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Mr. J. B. Stephens, Senior Class Principal, presented the class to Dr. William E. McVey, Superintendent. Dr. McVey then awarded the seniors with the diplomas which made them alumini of Thornton Township High School. A milestone on the road of life had been reached, and passed. . - . 1 ■  . ? - i $ PiT l B 2 4 e 4 S cuuond, The Class of ' 45 is a typical example of the great transition which takes place in high school students. The bewildered stare of the freshmen has been replaced by a look of wisdom. The cockiness of the sophs has faded into a determined self- assurance. The juniors have become a part of that sedate somewhat aloof stratum of school society known as the upperclass- men. Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, Junior Class Prin- cipal, Georgette Alexander, Douglas Smith. Class Principal J. F. Zimmerman, freed from care of aiding the students in solving problems which arose when they were sophomores, had to worry about whether or not the students would have enough credits to graduate. For the first several months the juniors were in seventh heaven . They were up- perclassmen. They were looked upon with respect by the lower classes. It was their duty to set an example for the freshies and sophs to follow. They could throw more parties and above all they could attend the prom! As the new year rolled around, some of the celestial happiness faded as the Class of ' 45 drifted back to earth with the real- ization that they were not yet on top. There were still others above them. And so they redoubled their energies to reach their goal, to attain the peak of honor and prestige, to become seniors.

H JM mm man- IC The assembly bells chimed four times, and immediately the corridors were filled with mighty voices issuing from the soph- omores. Last year they were the greenest of greenhorns, but now they are, especially in the opinion of the Class of ' 46, die leaders of the school. Mr. John D. Mees has the responsibility of further adapting this group of upper lower-classmen, or if you prefer, lower Bill Puiden. Mr. Mees, sophomore class principal, Helene St. Denis. upper-classmen, to the still somewhat un- familiar routine to which all students must comply. For the first three months they were the self appointed guides of the new freshman group. Eager to show off superior knowl- edge of the ropes and proud of their high rank, the sophomores soon became characters in the nightmares of every fresh- man. After the turn of the year the second year students turned their attention toward the cultivation of the friendship of upper- classmen. No junior or senior could walk down the hall without several sophomores slapping him on the back and making feeble attempts to crack jokes. Many were the seniors who deliberately acted like freshies in order to avoid the overly affec- tionate greetings of the sophs. As June drew near, the corridors of Thornton became quiet, and a thoughtful air prevailed for the sophomores were dreaming of the not too distant future when they would become juniors.

Maddox, Class Principal, Angeline Hunsaker. For three months approximately one third of Thornton ' s population ran up and down the halls, trying to get to classes on time. This bewildered part of the popula- tion couldn ' t seem to get anywhere on time. In fact it didn ' t have much idea of where anywhere was. It was rumored that many were the freshies who almost starved to death in the cafeteria because they had been taught not to begin to eat until everyone had been served. These new Thorntonites seemed so small that the seniors were reported to have sent a petition asking that ramps be built in the corridors so the freshmen wouldn ' t be stepped on. About the first of the new year noted improvements were seen. On two succes- sive days not a freshman got into the wrong class! With renewed zeal the freshies continued to work into Thornton ' s shape, for the Class of ' 47 had to be ready to hold its election in the spring of the year. Much credit goes to Dr. C. R. Maddox, Freshman Class Principal, for his patience and skill in maneuvering the class through the many pitfalls which await each new- coming group. As June approached, the diminutive chests of the Mighty Mites of ' 47 swelled with pride as they realized that they had indeed fought a good fight and won. They had matched the record of any first year class entering Thornton and were ready to ascend to a higher stratum. They were ready to look upperclassmen full in the face. They were ready to become soph- omores. MISS BEITELSPACHER PERIOD IV.

Dr,ce Afarcaret R, , ' , An,ta Deee r„ Ad «fina, Betty The numerous activities of the club are di- rected by the major officers and Dean of Girls. The major officers are seniors, with the excep- tion of the vice president, who is a junior. The president and the vice president are elected from the minor officers, the treasurer and the secre- tary are elected from the Board, the speaker of the Council from the Council, and the speaker of the Division Chairmen from the Division Chairmen. The six major officers plus the minor officers — members the board, council and division chairmen — direct the activities of the Girls club. To be eligible to be a minor officer a girl must have earned her white and purple T pins. Two girls are elected from each homeroom, one to the division chairmen and the other for the council. The board is composed of eighteen girls from their respective classes. The Girls Club was founded by Miss Francis Gordon in 1916. The purpose of the club at that time was social, but as Thornton grew, so did the club and its usefulness. Today the Girls Club is largely responsible for the welfare of Thornton girls in school and out. Of course it still has a social side. The Council is a discussion group made up of one girl from each homeroom.

The purpose of the Council is to discuss mat- ters of the general welfare of the club. The Council does no voting but presents its problems to the Board, which makes a final decision. The Council is designed to make conscientious lead- ers of its members. The Division Chairmen are a large body of girls who are responsible for the welfare of the girls at Thornton. The Division Chairmen like other minor officers must have earned their white and purple T pins and have at least C average. One girl is elected from each homeroom. The speaker this year is Margaret Pinyerd. The Division Chairman ' s duty is to report the absences of every girl in her homeroom and to turn in the absence slips daily. The purpose is not only to find out who is absent but why. When a girl has been absent for three or more days, she is sent a cheerful note. If the absence is a long one or the absence a serious one, flowers are sent. One girl from each class is chosen to be secretary of attendance. These girls are responsible for the notes and flowers.

The Marshals are a volunteer group who see that the Girls Club assemblies are run smoothly. The necessary quiet and order at assemblies is maintained by the Marshals. Overflow crowds, collecting ballots, and such are no worry to this group which is trained to handle such emer- gencies in an inconspicuous manner. Marshals can be identified by their white and purple badges. White T pins are earned by the freshman girls, and the purple T pins by the sopho- mores.

The points are earned by doing numerous things, doing good deeds, reading good magazines, attending school functions, and participating in school activities. In the Girls Club office is a sheet for each girl where a record of her points is kept. All the work of collecting and keeping the records of points is done by the Activity Point Commission. These girls have earned the posi- tions by hard work. To qualify in filling such an important position, every girl must success- fully pass a written examination on the work- ings of the Girls Club.

The Girls Club unites with the Boys Club in presenting the Boys and Girls Club play ; this year ' s success was You Can ' t Take It With You. Other activities include war projects, the visits to the Home for Incurables, Christmas card sales, Red Cross aid, and girls ' conferences.

Following the time- honored handshaking ceremony, the Stand Up Queen, Girls Club President Paula Adler, was presented with her robe, floral crown, and scepter. From her throne she then presided over the party. After the introduction of visitors the freshmen presented their stunt, The First Day at School. Following this the sophomores pantomined nursery rhymes, the juniors entertained with a tin-pan band, and the seniors as usual awed the freshmen with their style show. Following this wondrous show, the queen distributed gifts to the freshmen and led the grand march to refreshments. Full and happy, the girls danced until the chairman proclaimed, Party ' s over!

Due to food rationing, the banquet has at present been eliminated. The theme of the program presented by the mothers and daughters was A Woman ' s World. One of the features was a fashion show comparing past and present styles ; music also played a large part. The evening ' s climax came when the long suspense of Who ' s to be Queen of the May was broken, and Bobbie Bailey became Thornton ' s 1943 May Queen. Members of the May Queen Court must have more than just beauty. They must have good scholarship record, a pleasing personality, and must have fulfilled the Girls Club pledge. The court is composed of twelve junior girls, the queen, her maid of honor, and ten attendants. Betty Allison was maid of honor, and the ten attendants were Paula Adler, Doris Anderson, Joan Frintz, Ruth Hansen, Betty Kuykendall, Barbara Maloney, Joy Mullender, Ellen Marie Myrberg, Shirley Nagell, and Olive Wolf.

Fred Umbaugh, and Mr. J. F. Zimmer- man, are still active at Thornton. This committee chose four students from each of the four classes to draw up a constitu- tion.

The Boys Club then organized the hall guards, bus guards, campus patrol, and safety squad, which organizations carry on work that daily affects the safety and wel- fare of every boy and girl in the school. Under the leadership of the Commander- in-Chief, the boys are on duty in good weather and bad. The hall guards help to regulate move- ments of students in the halls during class periods. The bus guards look after the welfare and safety of hundreds of students who ride busses to and from school. The main duty of the safety squad is to pro- mote safety throughout the school and to keep the rate of automobile accidents as low as possible. The campus patrol helps to keep the grounds clean and to keep students from being careless in their use of the campus. Among organizations sponsored by the Boys Club are the Hi-Y, Chess and Checker Club, and the Bicycle Club.

Meetings, at which authorities presented various phases of the theme, were held the fourth Tuesday of each month. After the general business of the month fully discussed, the program committee, whose job it is to enliven the meetings with interesting and instructive material, took charge. Musical entertainment of one form or another preceded a speech or panel discus- sion. The meeting closed with refresh- ments in the cafeteria. This gave the par- ents and teac hers an opportunity to meet socially and talk over problems concerning their children and students, respectively. The association provides for six major groups of activities every year. These are: general welfare, membership, publicity, parent education, program planning, and student aid. The latter is the chief duty of the PTA and presents the students with opportun- ities to earn money for necessary expenses, such as books, car fare, lunches. These activities are carried on in an unobtrusive manner with the PTA in the background as much as possible. This year the largest financial undertak- ing was the Food Fun Fair held at Thorn- ton in October. An indoor carnival witii all the trimmings describes this fair. Money for student aid was also raised by selling taffy apples. Every year the PTA sets a splendid ex- ample for kindness, efficiency, and co- operation among the parents and teach ers of Thornton. It is the link between home and school that is so necessary to make a school a valued efficient organization. 7 e faculty Students aren ' t the only ones who have parties; teachers have them too. A social committee of which Mr. G. R. Valbert is head has charge of these affairs. The first party of the year was sponsored by the committee for the purpose of intro- ducing the new teachers to other faculty members. This year the party took the form of a chicken dinner with Mr. Zim- merman acting as generous host providing all anyone could eat . The Music Department sponsored a Hallowe ' en costume party in the little the- ater with prizes for costumes, square danc- ing, and magic entertainment. With the coming of Christmas holidays the Home Economics Department spon- sored a dinner party in the cafeteria with movies later. Other parties throughout the year are in like manner sponsored by other depart- ments. -fsM vti ' -t EHIND THE HEADLINES YEARBOOK STAFF Flash ! Yearbook staff sur- vives ! All lives saved despite great influx of critic gremlins. It began back in the fall of ' 43. A new yearbook staff was created. It was just an ordi- nary staff before it all started. Then came the photog- rapher. A very busy person, what with help shortages and all, he announced that we had three days in which to take pictures. Three days to photo- graph the whole school at work and at play ! We made our schedules and announcements. Then began our laborious task. Through drops of sweat and pants of breath the photographer and his humbled assis- tants slowly began to go mad. Schedules were disrupted, appointments ignored ; few thought of the people who were trying to compose a yearbook. Then came the time to go to the engraver. The poor engraver ! Getting the material piece by piece (we were trying to beat other schools to the printer so that we could still have a yearbook despite the war), the rushed fellow had to make out the best he could. New clubs began to organize and expected the photog- rapher to make a special trip for each of them. Silly children ! When student photographers stepped in, they ignored the deadline and didn ' t bother to hand in pic- tures. Other pictures were lost or their plates had been destroyed. More troubles ! Despite setbacks the photog- rapher and engraver did admirably. Today the books were distributed. Immedi- ately Senior Sally, who had neglected to return her photograph proofs, came into the office armed with a huge club. Johnny Jones came in crying because the picture he had taken a few days ago wasn ' t in. Club So-and-So complained that its organization wasn ' t represented ; mem- bers didn ' t stop to realize that our book was being printed before the club was in existence ! And so they came, hundreds of them. .After the haggard staff was revived, it gasped, We ' re glad to have a yearbook in wartime ! Editor-in-Chief . . .

In addition to the regular staff dozens of under- classmen may be seen flitting up to the bulletin board, reading respective assignments, and. sailing out to answer the call of the news. The practice of using underclassmen as reporters is for the purpose of molding a staff of more experienced workers. These is neither beginning nor end to this pub- lication cycle. News always occurs, stories are always assigned, proofs are being pasted, and the office is continually a scene of activity. Often readers do not appreciate the effort of the staff. The problem of financial accounts is always in the mind of the editor and the advertising manager. Headlines must be created. This task falls to the honored few who often go home dizzy from ex- treme mental exertion. Jokes- are continually being dug up, source ranging ' from class room quips to exchanges. Of course names must be checked and double checked ; Johnny Jones can ' t stand to have his name rearranged by misspelling! And then there are the people who eternally ignore such a little thing as a deadline and then wonder why the story didn ' t appear in print! And so it goes, around and around, and it comes out on Friday. 7%e (fyvifaut On the nights of November 12 and 13, 1943, a full house laughed at the eccen- tricities of the Sycamore household. It was Grampa ' s theory, you can ' t take it with you, that almost prevented the union of the Syca- more and Kirby family through the marriage of Alice Sycamore and Tony Kirby ; but Grampa was finally able to convince Mr. Kirby, Sr., that such a theory of life is good. The Kirbys came to realize that the Sycamore fam- ily wasn ' t so queer; its mem- bers were merely doing the they had wanted all their lives The actors were Bobbie Bailey, Gloria Bechely, Ruth Boyens, Walter Clark, Oliver Henry, Bill Hughes, Calvin Janus, Haroldine Johnson, Betty Kuykendall, Art Mathieu, Bill Nor- man, Frank Rasmussen, Charles Reed, Edwin Salter, Barbara Smuts, Bette Spitzka, Doug Stewart, Sam Sutton, and Ed Thomas. The hilarious play You Can ' t Take It With You was presented by the Boys and Girls Clubs with Dorothy Smith and Bill Vandenberg as business managers. Mr. E. C. Ohlert directed the play. IRteet — Last April 30 and May 1, 1943, the senior class presented the ever popular ' ' Smilin ' Through , the story of the unfathomable love of John Carteret for the deceased Moonyeen and his consuming hate for the Wayne family. Com- plications arise when Kathleen, John ' s niece, falls in love with Kenneth Wayne. The play ends hap- pily because of John ' s recon- ciliation to the love of Kath- leen and Kenneth. Just before the curtain falls, John is re- united with Moonyeen by death. Students who took part were Leon- ard Broderick, George Budwash, Yvette Bunce, Jane Dalenburg, James Fer- guson, Doris JefFeries, Bob Jennings, Beatrice Johnson, Edith Kordewich, John Kuykendall, Dureen Moll, Alfred Olson, Peggie Penrose, Bill Rodman, Barbara Snyder, and Ed Vanderbilt.

The mere handful of musicians was under the direction of the late Mrs. Isabel Loomis Montelius. Since the early years of the Orchestra, the attic room, hot in summer, cold in winter, has given way to a soundproof, well-lighted, temperature-regulated room on the first floor. Room 147 is the one in which for several years students have prac- ticed and perfected innumerable scores so well chosen by its late director, Mr. William Mon- telius, who replaced Mrs. Montelius after her death. During the Christmas season the Orchestra, along with the Glee Clubs and Chorus, pre- sents the beautiful Christmas concert. The splen- did music of the Orchestra enthralls the audi- ence again each year. A school play would not be complete without the combined high school and junior college Orchestra. Selections in keeping with the type of dramatic production are played between acts. Toward the end of the school year the Orchestra, Chorus, and Glee Clubs present an annual Spring Concert. People who have heard the beautiful compositions, those of the more serious type, scores written by classical old com- posers and those by more modern musicians, have learned better to appreciate good music and have returned each year to be inspired again. Since the death of Mr. Montelius on Christ- mas day 1943, Mr. Lyle Hopkins has continued to train the Orchestra members in the knowl- edge, interpretation, and appreciation of fine music. ! N , Gsict The Thornton Township High School Band, under the baton of Mr. Lyle Hopkins, is an outstanding feature of the Music Department. Playing at assemblies, football and basketball games, and for civic organizations, the band students show results of diligent practice. From 1916 to 1941 when Mr. Don C. Allen was director of the Band and from 1941 up to the present under the direction of Mr. Hopkins, the Band has proved itself to be one of the best organizations of its kind in the state, having won numerous contests and awards. Evidence of the excellent work done in this department is shown by the numerous plaques on the walls of the band room. Any high school student playing a band instrument is eligible for either the first or second Band, according to his abil- ities. Thornton ' s Band has been an inspiration to athletes at football and basketball games. The success of those athletic heroes may be due in part to this outstanding musical organization which stimulates school spirit with school songs and enlivening marches. Each year the Spring Band concert is eagerly awaited by both school and community. At graduation exercises the Band fittingly plays Pomp and Circumstance as the seniors march down the aisles, a tradition instituted by the late Mrs. Isabel Montelius.

Who would think that such meek looking sing- ers could sing so loud? So runs the conversation in a homeroom near the Chorus room, for it is Monday, and the Madrigal group is practicing. The members of this organization are chosen by Mr. Walter Armbruster from the singers of the Chorus. These singers must have an interest in singing of this type, their voices must blend, and they must be able to read music at sight. During the Elizabethan era the popularity of Madrigal singing was established. It was the custom at that time for people to sit around a table and sing without accompaniment. From this custom the singers got the name madrigal singers which refers to an unaccompanied chorus. Two years ago Thornton ' s Madrigal group was started and since that time has gained greatly in popularity. In 1942 the group sang for the first time at the Spring Concert. Although the main purpose of this organiza- tion is to give those students who enjoy singing an extra opportunity to sing, it also has provided entertainment for teachers ' meetings, dedica- tions, teas, and various other gatherings. The high point of this year, as far as the Madrigal group was concerned, was their invitation to sing at the convention of the In And About Chicago Music Educators Club. @6 noc4, To make the A Capella Choir is the ambi- tion of every singer at Thornton whether he be in one of the Girls Glee Clubs or in the Boys Glee Club. Because the Chorus is composed of boys and girls who have begun their Thornton music career by singing in one of the glee clubs, these students have diligently practiced their scales, vowels, and enunciation in order that they may have a better chance of becoming a member of the choir. Because of the standards set many students are not eligible for membership. Un- dismayed the students work harder in their respective glee clubs so that they may have a better chance of being accepted when they seek membership in the Chorus. Attired in purple robes with immaculate white collars, the choir made an impressive pic- ture as it appeared for the Christmas concert so that all those who were spectators, as well as those who participated, felt a surge of pride in Thornton ' s chorus.

Aca (%€utteu4e Until two years ago Thornton had but one Girls Glee Club, Because of the growing popu- larity of this group and the limited number of girls that it could embrace, Mr. Walter Arm- bruster, director of the Chorus and of the Boys Glee Club, organized a second Girls Glee Club in January 1942. Since the fall of that year Miss Prudence Thompson has directed the two girls groups. Because of the confusion that arose when both organizations were known as Girls Glee Clubs, each group chose an individual name. Each club voted for its own name with the result that Les Chanteuses (French, the singers) was chosen by the first Glee Club and the Melody Maids was selected by the other. From Les Chanteuses have grown two en- sembles, which are taking the place of the Madrigal group of former years. The members of these smaller groups, the Key-dettes and the Melodeers, meet during the eighth period and after school. When boys who have been graduated from Thornton look back to their high school days, many of them think of the good times they had in Boys Glee Club. They consider it a privilege to have been a member of that organization. The Boys Glee Club, this year numbering seventy, besides furnishing music for grade school P.T.A. meetings and assemblies, entertains at the Boys Club Stag. It also participates in the annual Christmas Con- cert and the Spring Concert in the high school auditorium. The sheer enjoyment of singing plus the educational values found in it go to make the Boys Glee Club one of the popular organizations in school. i • - : Mi Row 1: George Freling, Tennis Paarlberg, Dave Phillips, Gracson Powers, Edmund Perlins, Ellis Banks, Bob Salter, Gerrit Eylander, Harold Pals, Bob Reppert, Roy Kukral, Otho McFarland, Chester Howe, Eugene Golden, Bert Foster.

Neither social activities nor amusements are offered as inducements to new members by the Pierian Club, named after the mythical Pierian spring. The club makes its own entertainment, the writing and criticising of manuscripts, essays, short stories, poems, or anything else that a member wishes to write. Limited to twenty, the club selects its own members. Recommendations of students who have both talent and interest in writing is made by the English teachers. Then one of the members sponsors each candidate whose work is read by the members until he is accepted or rejected by the club. The club was started by Ray Landers and Constantine Lakowsky, both of whom are now in the Army Air Corps. It was their desire to have an organization for students who like themselves were interested in culture, who could put their thoughts, their dreams, on paper to be enjoyed by others. 3K 31 Wk m Iff PURPLE X Row 1 : Bobbie Bailey, Joy Mul- lender, Paula Adler, Joann Lipe, Patricia Armington, Haroldine Johnson, Mary Thorsen, Bette Spitzka, Lorraine LaFond.

PunMe £ i¥o ptema6 te Every Thorntonite has heard of the Purple X Com- mittee, the group that sponsors the Open Houses after the home football and basketball games. The Purple X was started back in 1938 to promote recreation for students after athletic contests. Mr. O. Fred Umbaugh was appointed faculty chairman, a position which he still holds, and Mr. H. J. Miller was the treasurer until he entered the armed services. Mr. R. S. Berg now fills this position. The name of the committee was chosen from purple, the school color, and x, the unknown quantity, symbolizing the unlimited duties and functions of the organization. Purple X, composed of approximately 25 students and 15 faculty members, is a democratic organization, each member having an equal voice in its affairs. The membership committee, composed of a group of fac- ulty members selects outstanding boys and girls who represent the student body to be student members. This year under the leadership of Chairman Jim Mitchell and assistance of Vice-chairman Bill OHara, Purple X has ' continued to mean much to the life of Thornton students. Live for Victory, the theme of the Home Eco- nomics Club, is carried out by eating it up, wearing it out, making it do, or doing without. All girls enrolled in homemaking classes and those who have been enrolled are eligible for membership in this organization. The teachers of the Home Eco- nomics Department advise and assist the girls in plan- ning and presenting their work for the year. Miss Wilma V. Reed, Head of the Homemaking Depart- ment, is the sponsor of this club which was organized in the early twenties and is affiliated with the Na- tional Home Economics Association. Meetings are held once a month at which time committees previously chosen present a program and social hour which help to train active and efficient leaders for home and community life. Officers are elected each year, and two delegates are sent to the State Club Camp. The outstanding events of the year are the ' Christmas welfare project and the Tea and Style Show given for the mothers. At the style show garments made by girls of the department are modeled.

MOVIE OPERATORS Right: Enzo Zappavigna, Ken Fremouw, Ray Movies in the little theater today is a state- ment which always arouses interest in all classes. Thornton ' s visual education program began about twelve years ago when the first silent pro- jector was purchased. Pictures were shown often to students in biology, chemistry, physics, and social science classes. Dr. C. R. Maddox, Freshman Class Principal, is chairman of the faculty committee with Mr. L. L. Schilb, Head of the General Science De- partment, and Mr. R. F. Lilley, of the Industrial Arts Department, as consulting members. A small fortune is represented by two 16 mm. silent and two 16 mm. sound projectors which are owned by the school and are under the care of the electrical department. Boys from the electrical- department who have at least a B average and satisfactory citizenship grades volunteer to be operators. Most of the work is done during their study periods. Ray Crotty is the head of the operators, with as- sistants Edward Caperton, Kenneth Fremouw, Bill Rafferty, Arnold Medrow, Charles Pocuse, and Enzo Za ppavigna. Sometimes there is a demand for use of the machines outside of school. One rule which is rigidly adhered to in this regard is that permis- sion to use the equipment must be obtained from Dr. William E. McVey, Superintendent, and that an experienced operator must always accompany the projector. The Kiwanis, Rotary, Elks, and Optimist clubs have had movies shown at their meetings by Thornton ' s operators this year. da i 2M zye , dead o alive FRENCH I OFFICERS Katherine Kehle, President; Charles Strawbric Program Chairman.

Each foreign language has its own club, an organization to which any one taking the language may belong. Club meetings are held once each month during the seventh period. At Christ- mas time and on other special occasions meetings are held after school in the little theater. Club officers, elected from the third and fourth year classes, plan different and interesting types of programs for each meeting. Students give talks about the respective countries and peoples. The club members sing songs written in foreign languages and play amusing games. Slides and movies are sometimes shown, and skits are presented. Trips are also part of the clubs ' activities.

The Junior Branch of the Young Men ' s Christian Association endeavors to teach the boys how to use their leisure time most profit- ably. The boys don ' t just sit around and look serious though; they ' re always on the go. During past years Hi-Y has taken over the job of securing money for the Prisoner of War Fund, brought movies and speakers to the school, and maintained the checkroom facilities for the Purple X open houses. The boys help conduct the Club Sahara, dry teen-age night club, sponsored by the 1 1 1 Street Y.M.C.A. Dancing, swimming, and basketball are some of the social activities in which Hi-Y members take part. Very seldom does a weekly meeting go by without a discussion of the plans for two of the important activities of the year, the Christmas party and the spring dance. An im- pressive initiation ceremony is held each year. HI-Y Thomas Rost, President; William Simpson, Secretary; Bill Haase, Vice President.

The early recreation group was organized in 1937 with James Tarpey, Norma Bugh, Ruth Diemer, and Marjorie Lloyd as officers. This recreation club sponsored activities, such as ping-pong, skating, hiking, badminton, tennis, and horseback riding. The club thrived and grew under the direction of Miss Marthalou Gray. This year Swing Club has as sponsor that devotee of La Conga, Mr. R. D. McWilliams. The Bicycle Club is an organization made up of the students who ride bicycles to school. Three purposes of the club are to teach the people the correct care of their bicycles, to teach them safety rules, and to give them an oppor- tunity to have fellowship with other cyclists. Active only in the spring and fall months when it is possible to ride to school, ' picnics are held during those seasons at the Thornton Forest Preserve.

Despite the fact that the 1943 Varsity football squad was the smallest one in number and in size that Thornton has had for years, still this Wildcat team had what it takes to make a winning combina- tion, and the result was the capture of the South Suburban league championship and the regaining of the coveted Warner cup. Under the direction of Coaches Jack Lipe and Frank Froschauer, the Varsity team won five games while losing one. It has been said that good coaches have good squads; certainly this is one reason for Thornton ' s successful football season. With true Thornton spirit the Wildcats invaded Bloom on November 5, and marched from the field boasting a 20-12 victory. On the very first play after the kickoff, Ted Tarala hurled a long pass to the left end, Stick Bennett. To the amaze- ment of all Stick snagged this pass and converted it into a touchdown. Bloom marched right back to score , a touchdown with Schwoefferman and Zaranti gaining the ground, but again Tarala subdued them with his excellent passing.

This game proved to be the most exciting and the best contest of the year. In the first battle of the year Thornton downed a game Blue Island team to the tune of 12-7. After John Tourtellotte and Lou Benson scored touchdowns, Freeland received Thornton ' s kick and ran it back 70 yards for the Islander ' s only score. Freeland was on the loose again, and nobody was between him and the goal, but fleet-footed Barney Arendt saved the game with his leaping, shoe-string tackle from behind. Cal City handed Thornton its only loss of the season in a game that was tough to lose. The Fractional team set up its lone touchdown by pass- ing. In the last quarter the Wildcats also took to the air and managed to get to the opponents ' 20 yard line. From here a pass was hurled to Stick Bennett, who was over the goal line, but the slip- pery ball fell a little short of his grasp and Thorn- ton was not able to score. An inferior Kankakee team was trounced by the Purple and White by a score of 37-7. After trailing at the half 7-6, Thornton showed its power in the latter half of the game though it was costly to Thornton; Lou Benson injured his foot, but not until he had accounted for nineteen points. Revenging its 7-6 loss inflicted by Argo the pre- vious season, the Wildcats ran over the visitors, 19-0, in a game in which the Argonauts never threatened to score. In the only non-conference game of the season Thornton downed a tough Morton team 13-6 on a muddy, rain-soaked field. With the score deadlocked at 6-6 in the last quar- ter and only a few minutes of playing time left, Ted Tarala galloped 18 yards around right end for the winning touchdown. Stick Bennett and Tom Einbecker, the regular ends played well all season, setting up many touch- downs with their sensational catches. Barney Arendt, Lou Benson, DeDe Clark, Jim Ireland, John Ross, Ted Tarala, and John Tourtellotte did splendid work in the backfield. Bob Benson, Ray Cotton, Dewey Lang, Jack Lipe, Gabby Marek, Dave McGuinn, Walt Rohrback, and Paul Young, who saw a lot of action in the line, proved that it was sturdy and strong.

Walter Rohrbach a 6et ayyen Thornton ' s Flying Clouds of 1943-1944 proved to be one of the state ' s best teams as they finished the season with a record that showed fifteen wins and only one loss. That one loss was inflicted by Kankakee after the Clouds had won fourteen straight games and were one of the four unbeaten teams in the state. Going strong throughout the season, the Purple quintet won the South Suburban League championship with little threat from other teams. Twice it defeated Argo, Bloom, Blue Island, Calumet City, and Lockport and Kan- kakee once. The closest game of the year was with Cal- umet City when De De Clark ' s free shot proved to be the winning margin. This was probably the hardest fought and most thrilling battle of the year. In another hair raiser with South Shore Stick Bennett put in the winning basket in the last minute of play after South Shore had tied the count at 32-32. This was the second game of the year. Captain and high scorer for the season was the center Stick Bennett. Stick , who tipped the scales at 185 and towers in the air 6 feet 4 inches, specialized in getting rebounds and scored 189 points during the sixteen game season. DeDe Clark, regular forward and the small- est man on the team, weighed 150 pounds and is 5 feet -7 inches tall. With his speed he was an important factor in the fast break plays. DeDe could handle men much taller than himself and also get his share of rebounds. He ac- counted for 140 points in the fifteen games he played. At one of the guard positions was John Ross, 155 pounds and 5 feet 10 inches tall. Although not an exceptionally good offensive man, John was probably the best defensive player on the whole team. John played all year until a hand infected by blood poisoning kept him from playing in the tussle with .Kankakee. Ray Geschke, drafted into the Army in Janu- ary, played twelve games with the Clouds. Ray was 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighed 156 pounds. Playing all positions, Harold Shymkus gained a starting berth. Harold stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. With this lad in the lineup, more rebounds were secured. Others who proved valuable aids to the team were Lou Benson and Bob Rundin. Lou ' s foot, which was injured in the Kankakee football game, was a decided handicap to him. He prob- ably would have been on the starting lineup more often if the accident had not occurred. Bob played guard and was always among the starters until he became ill and lost too much weight. This was Bob ' s first year with the Varsity. Some others who saw action during the year were Bob Benson, Elvin Brown, Harry McKee, and Ed McPherrin. Again Coach K. J. Lipe formed a champion- ship team, the twelfth time in seventeen years of coaching high school basketball. With this season ' s record Mr. Lipe ' s teams have won 300 games, losing 67. Coach Lipe with his high standards of coaching kept Thornton a name known and respected in the athletic field of this state.

Nosed out of the laurels by only a one-half point margin in the senior division, Thornton won in the junior division by more than a twenty point margin over Blue Island.

MacCaa, Powley, and Woodrich did the 176 yard run while Bark, the anchor man, ran the 776 yards; by this exceptional run the boys earned a trophy.

Those runs were the only ones to mar Thornton ' s victories. Coach Frank Froschauer can be very proud of this team which was South Suburban champion. Led by Joe Wishba, who totaled .500 with 2 homeruns; Dean Steele, .500; Joe Fierro, .483 and 1 homerun; Ray Geschke, .428 and 1 homerun ; Anthony Jacob, .384; Marlin Johnson, .357; Andrew Baud, .259; Henry Rateree, .235; John Ross, .160; Ger- ald Jacob, .141; and Ivan Behm, .000, the team really did justice to the game.

The purpose of this organization is to foster principles of good sportsmanship. This club is sponsored by the Boys Physical Education Depart- ment, headed by Mr. K. J. Lipe. It is hoped that the traits learned through the sports discipline will influence the later lives of those boys who are wearers of the famed Thornton T .

The first meeting of the year was held in the auditorium during the homeroom period .... the meeting adjourned at 8:33. These words are found in the oldest record book of the Girls Athletic Association, the secretary ' s book of 1926. Although not one of the oldest organizations at Thornton, G.A.A. has a large membership. More than one hundred girls took part in basketball alone this year. Members of G.A.A. are girls who desire to participate in more sports than are offered by the regular physical education program. The governing body consists of the officers, who this year were Fay Walden, president; Rosalie Laramie, vice-president; Flora Gallegos, secretary; and Marion Partridge, treasurer, aided by the board. Lois Brandt, Barbara Buyer, Virgene Davis, Helen Gjerde, Ruth Hansen, Dorothy Heaton, Harriett Jones, Jeanene Payan, Alice Spierling, Margaret Thode, Mary Whitford, and Carol Youngblood make up this year ' s board. Miss Martha Carr, Head of the Girls Physical Education Department, Miss Marguerite Begnoche, Miss Marthalou Gray, and Miss Verna Johnston are the faculty sponsors. Different sports are offered in successive years. Some of those in which the girls participated this year were archery, basketball, volleyball, ping pong, and swimming. Besides these sports every year the G.A.A. holds splash parties, play days with other schools, and other friendly get-togethers. Helping the teachers referee the team sports are the Leaders , whose members assist in freshman gym classes, beginning swimming classes, and team sport practices. This group was organized in 1941 ; the girls receive G.A.A. credit for their work. Basketball is the major sport of the year, and at the completion of the basketball season a banquet is held. On that days the new members are initiated, and awards, which signify the year in which the owner will graduate, are presented for the completion of three sport seasons. For five seasons a three inch purple T is awarded. The highest honor in G.A.A. is to wear a five inch purple T , which is given only for outstanding accomplishment. G.A.A. LEADERS Sitting: Marion Partridge, Susan Peasley, Joy Reasor, Carol Youngblood, Marcia Owens. Standing: Flora Gallegos, Rosalie Laramie, Lois Brandt, Phyllis Reasor, and Evelyn Weis. SxencUe £x £j(ktio t In order to show the parents of the girls at Thornton the types of physical education that are offered, the Girls Phys- ical Education Department on May 7, 1943, presented in the girls gymnasium Vim for Victory, a program in which three hundred girls showed phases of the activities in which they take part during their regular physical education classes. The freshmen presented games, tum- bling, pyramid building, and conditioning exercises recommended by the United States Office of Education for the high school victory corps. The upper classmen in the sports classes participated in relay races, volley ball, table tennis, deck tennis, and basket- ball skills. Girls in the rhythms classes did folk dances from various countries and a dance that represented the Four Freedoms. eacUf fan t e cctccne PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY Laivyers Burton Evans Leonard James Jakes 167 East 154 Street Harvey 1584 159 and Brennan Road Markham Harvey 2.649W LOCKREN VANDERVEEN Henry C.

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 it 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 West Madison Street Chicago, Illinois Donald J.
