Text from Pages 1 - 206 of the 1945 volume:

£N u w 3 g C . rfl« ffip« V • °0 i v Pv V THE 19 TOniTE THE 1945 THORIITOniTC DEDICRTIOn To Mr. Lawrence Britton for twen- ty-one years of faithful service as a member of the Thornton Township High School faculty, and for his un- tiring efforts to make his community a better place in which to live, we dedicate THE 1945 THORNTONITE. In 1935 Mr. Britton was made Head of Thornton ' s Industrial Arts Depart- ment. Since then he has worked long hours to give pupils and community something of which they are proud. As a member of the Industrial Arts Department since 1924, Mr. Britton has helped thousands of pupils acquire know ledge of the subjects he so ably teaches. When these pupils have taken their places in factories and plants, they not only do their jobs ac- curately and skillfully, but become a valuable part of this organization to which they belong. To help the war effort is Mr. Brit- ton ' s present aim. He is doing this in several ways, conducting classes for I ' aqe I war workers, holding classes in both night and summer school to help train people to do better jobs, directing sup- plementary classes for the University of Illinois, and supervising the in- struction of classes by Thornton fac- ulty members in a number of the local industries. Both Mr. and Mrs. Britton have been active in the work of the Harvey Christian Church, where Mr. Britton has been Superintendent of the Sunday School for the past nineteen years. For his friendly co-operation with faculty, students, and community, for his willingness to do more than his part, and for his long record of achievement, Mr. Britton is placed on Thornton ' s faculty honor roll by the Class of 1945. ' «.; • . Ill PLACE! LIGHTS! Page 7 As students look ahead to the struggle, a struggle to maintain democracy, they realize that it takes more than air, naval, or military strength. The lights of education, religion, music, and art must forever burn in our nation. The Board of Education of Thornton, with its wise leadership and constant vigilance, is a vital factor in keeping these lights burning. If it were not for five capable and understanding men, Thornton could not have attained the position it holds today. Mr. G. H. Gibson, President of the Board, was president of the Chicago Steel Car Company before retirement. His undaunting service of thirty-three years to the school is truly one of the factors that make Thornton what it is. Mr. A. H. McDougall, consulting adviser in the Chicago office of Manning, Mawell, and Moore, New York engineering firm, has a record of thirty-two years of service to Thornton in its Board of Education. Mr. Walter Haines, Thornton Township Collector, Mr. Frank P. Cowing, Homewood attorney-at-law, and Mr. Edwin R. Waterman, farmer and banker of South Holland, are sharing with the others the many responsibilities of the Board. Employing faculty members and determining their salaries, determin- ing policies, budgets, and expenditures of the school are the principal duties of the Board. The Board meets the third Friday of each month to discuss the various problems of the school. Mr. Burton Evans, Mr. A. F. Waldschmidt, and Mr. Clarence W. Waaso, assist the members in carrying out their duties. Mr. Evans and Mr. Waaso, secretary and attorney of the Board, respectively, are elected by the group ; Mr. Wald- schmidt, school treasurer, is elected by the three trustees of Thornton Township. The members of the Board of Education are elected by ballot by the voters of the township to a term of three years. Voluntarily and without remuneration these men give their time to make Thornton the school it is today. Page « William E. McVey, B.S., A.M., Ph.D. Ohio University, University of Chicago. Superintendent of Thorn- ton Township High School and Junior College. Je-U £ a % 7 Let ' s talk it over, a simple statement accom- panied by a kind smile, but to an eager group of young people, much more has been conveyed, assur- ance of understanding, co-operation, and wise judg- ment, for Dr. McVey has just spoken. Dr. William Estus McVey, superintendent of Thornton Township High School, is the experienced director who, through twenty-six years of war and peace, has directed the drama of life enacted in the halls and classrooms of Thornton. Just as the success or failure of a great production depends on its director, so does Thornton ' s progress reflect the wisdom and vision of her producer. Dur- ing this past year the play entitled, Thornton, 1944-45, has been beset by many difficulties, but Dr. McVey has aided the faculty and student body in resolving these war-borne problems with charac- teristic foresight. A friendly smile, an extra word, a sympathetic ear — what immeasurable good they can do a bewildered junior, a harassed newcomer. The fact that Dr. Mc- Vey is not only Dr. William E. McVey, Superintend- ent, to this school, but also a kindly friend and adviser, is one reason that all its members are his admirers. A rock — that vital something to hang onto that students forced by the war into a suddenly hastened growing up can look to — is the man in charge of that theater called Thornton. Dr. McVey is many things to many people; a sophomore might say, in highest tribute, He ' s a good Joe ; a faculty member, Our superintendent, a leader of men ; and the ghosts that linger in the halls and whisper in the elm leaves might breathe, Simply Thornton. Page  flssiSTflm Memories, ah memories ! Among the fondest remembrances a departing senior takes with him are those connected with a special faculty member. Every student has a par- ticular friend among the teachers, and from this association he derives more than he realizes of culture, wisdom, of Thornton. The deans in particular are close to many students, knowing many of them personally. They act as personal advisers, solving tactfully and well the private problems brought to them. Miss Helene Wilson, Dean of Girls, Miss Vera Crites, assistant to Miss Wilson, and Mr. O. F. Umbaugh, Dean of Boys, also serve as sponsors of the Girls ' and Boys ' Clubs, respectively. Four other faculty members close to the student ' s heart are the class principals. To these men falls the task of being personal consultant to each student throughout his high school career. By a rotating system, Mr. J. D. Mees, Mr. J. B. Stephens, and Mr. J. F. Zimmerman each usher a class from its sophomore year through the night of graduation. Dr. C. R. Maddox, Freshman Class Principal, acquaints the incoming student with Thornton traditions, orientating them for their new life here. The reports kept by these men covering the students ' work, play, and conduct, are detailed and prove valuable to a would-be employer, for they provide an understanding of the student ' s personality and ability. As the senior sits waiting for his diploma on that June night, like the walrus, he thinks of many things; and one of them is the heartwarming kindness, interest, and understanding of his faculty friends.

This is a familiar message sent over the public address system several times throughout the day, a system which Thornton is fortunate in hav- ing. The announcements heard each morning during homeroom also originate in the main office. Among the many jobs the office staff handles are the distribution of mail, the telephone calls that come in over three trunk lines, mimeographing, and school cor- respondence. They also keep a file with the complete record of each student who attends Thornton. Permanent in these files are their citizenship, scholarship, atten- dance, and activity records. The office is a very busy place with students claiming lost articles, getting new locker keys, and teachers send- ing in various notices and picking up their mail. Miss Constance Lovejoy is secretary to Dr. William E. McVey, and Miss Jane Ridder is registrar. Enid Boothe, Edith Kordewich, Betty Meeboer, and Edith Mitchell complete the office staff. Without the efficiency and capability of this most unapplauded force, the school would be unable to run smoothly; in fact it would not run. aaau —— ma -q.„o.i,u,, U .i MIU uuu.. || |||t|M|a | Along with the ability of man to talk came his necessity for written communication. With these fundamentals plus the skills of reading and listen- ing, Thornton ' s English Department is concerned. Teaching students to become more proficient in oral and written communication is the aim of every English teacher. The English Department is the largest depart- ment in the school, due to the fact that all stu- dents are required to study at least three years of English. Under the supervision of Mr. O. F. Umbaugh, the department is made up of sixteen teachers. During the first year of English the students are presented with a wide reading program and are led to enjoy it. The year is spent training and developing good reading habits. Some of the best iterature studied during the first year English course is secured from Thornton ' s rental library. As far as it is known the library is one of the few, if not the only one, of its kind; it contains about 21,000 volumes valued at $25,000. Lloyd C. Douglas ' The Robe, of which the brary has two hundred copies, is again one of the popular books among Thornton students this year. Some of the newer books which are also popular are Ernie Pyle ' s Here Is Your War, Rackham Holt ' s George Washington Carver, Johnnie Tremain by Esther Forbes, and Cyril A Tale of Two are still widely composition are Harris ' Trumpets at Dawn. Other popular books that the students enjoy reading are Irving Bacheller ' s A Man for the Ages, Marjorie Rawlings ' The Yearling, Jim Davis, by John Masefield, and Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. Charles Dickens ' Cities and Great Expectations read by many students. Essentials of grammar and taught during the second year. Students learn how to express themselves clearly and accurately in written compositions. Using proper grammatical construction, students learn to speak well, another mark of an educated person. Literature and speech constitute one semester of third year English. Forms of business communica- tion, letters, creative writing, and composition are stressed during the other semester. Although students having an A or B aver- age their first three years are not required to take fourth year English, many of them take one of the elective courses: radio workshop, creative writing, dramatics, or journalism. The journalism class includes the publishing of the newspaper and yearbook. All students who receive less than a B average during their first three years ' work are required to take the fourth year English course, which offers English literature and further work in composition. Everything from how to measure ingredients for cake, and how to place the fork on the late after using it to how to act as hostess at one ' s own table is taught in the homemaking classes which have to do with cooking. Clad in neat nets and aprons, the girls are busy little- bees as they learn through actual experience the do ' s and don ' ts of food preparation and consumption. Each girl in the advanced classes takes upon herself the job of planning, preparing, and being hostess at a dinner to which several guests are invited. The girls completing this course have an excellent start toward becoming good homemakers. The conservation of material and the recon- version of old garments to new is especially important during wartime. That is what the other half of the homemaking department, the sewing classes, is learning to do. Each year those girls have the opportunity of showing their efforts at the annual Mother- Daughter Tea and Style Show. The girls model the clothes they have made. Since the Homemaking Department, which is headed by Miss Wilma V. Reed, is affiliated with the Illinois Board for Vocational Educa- tion, it is necessary for each student to take at least one related subject, such as general sci- ence or biology. UPra The Social Science Department, headed by Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, with Mr. C. C. Stegmeir taking charge of the history section, includes civics, commercial geography, commercial law, economics, and history. These subjects are important to the person who wishes to have an accurate understanding of the events which are now taking place and which will affect human life from this point on. To become more familiar with future respon- sibilities as voters of this nation, a mock gen- eral election was held last November, at the same time the general election was held through- out the nation. Students were taught the funda- mentals of voting by actually taking part in an election which was run according to law. In planning for the future, the wise person looks to the past to see how other people did the job and how he can improve upon what was done. In this way the several histories offered Thornton students play an important part in their lives. The pupil learns, among other things, how people lived in the past, and thus he may have some idea as to what to expect in the future. Economics and commercial law students learn the more intricate mechanism of state and na- tional governments. Economics help teach pupils how the governments use, collect, and make money, while commercial law explains common law to students so that they will be familiar with the laws used in coping with common occurrences. Commercial geography explains to pupils the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of territory, its natural resources, and its influence. Together, these subjects help the student un- derstand why and how he can make this world a better place in which to live. z- ■j:t A Thornton student ' s first year ' s study in the science division is general science, a required subject for all freshmen except girls taking physiology. The science courses are designed to give the student a chance to discover his in- terests as well as to develop sound judgment. The science of biology may be described as the study of living things. In Thornton ' s four well-equipped classrooms students learn of plants and animals, and also of human mechan- isms. Mr. A. C. Brookley heads this depart- ment and under his leadership is disseminated the knowledge which permits a student to un- derstand his natural surroundings better. The Chemistry Department, led by Mr. Fred Ring, enables the student to understand the why, the what, and the wherefore of the world, and the materials of which it is composed. Chemistry is the science of elements and com- pounds, physical and chemical, and their reac- tion to each other. It is the analysis and syn- thesis of matter. Thornton ' s science courses, general science, biology, chemistry, and physics fit the students to live in a better world of tomorrow in a better way. As students study fascinating experiments and facts, they are carried from their labs and classrooms to see scientists such as Priestley, Avogadro, and Pasteur working out problems which changed their world. The students see men working out ways to make the world a better place to live. The bell rings and sud- denly they find themselves back in the class- room; only then are they led to realize how much has been done in chemistry and how much more is to be done by tomorrow. Spectacular advancement has been made in the science of physics during the present war. Chemistry and physics combined have caused to be created and perfected more inventions dur- ing the present war than in any other similar period of time. Electronics, radar, and radionics are three of the outstanding achievements which have come about in the field of physics. The different uses of the gyroscope are also a splendid accomplish- ment of physics. Gyrocompasses, gyropilots, as well as other uses kept secret by the Federal government until after the war, are some of its achievements. Here in Thornton the Physics Department, which is headed by Mr. C. L. Beier, keeps up to date on new phases in the world of physics. The study of physics, year by year, is growing larger, and Mr. Beier predicts that in a short time either the Thornton course in physics will be expanded to a year and one half or to a two-year course, since only the barest funda- mentals can be taught in one year. The physics lab, the place where theory and experiment are tried and proved, is indeed an important part of one ' s learning of physics. After the war when used Army and Navy ma- terial is available to the public, physics labora- tories will be replenished with all the latest material and equipment. Page 2. «ISJJH. n . Thornton can be proud of her Business De- crement that is known to employers all over the country. The expert instruction and high standards of work required by this department, insure a successful career for those who com- plete the work. Miss Eva L. Lieber is the head of the department. Under her guidance and that of her corps of teachers, many future secretaries, stenographers, and office workers are launched upon their careers. Alumnae have termed their training and experience invaluable for their later work. Not only do the students learn to type fast and accurately and to take dictation rapidly, but they learn to operate business machines, such as the ditto machine, the mimeograph machine, and other modern machines that make work more rapid and more efficient. There are also two semesters ' work in commercial law, com- mercial geography, economics, and salesman- ship. Now in time of war, as in peace, this depart- ment has answered the call for more and better trained workers by conducting classes in busi- ness subjects in night school. fruTPr The history of the development of mathe- matics can be traced to about 17,000 B.C. It is believed that algebra originated with the Greeks and was passed on to the Arabs, and then to Europe, and the Asiatics. Mathematics may be divided into two cate- gories: pure mathematics and applied mathe- matics. Pure mathematics deals with numbers, form, space, and includes algebra and geometry. Applied mathematics is the practical applica- tion of abstract principles to concrete data and includes mechanics and physics. The Greeks were the great mathematicians of Europe in the fields of geometry and trigonom- etry and had reached an advanced stage by 250 B.C. Such people as Archimedes, Euclid, and Apollonius are associated with this era. Since the war many a fellow who had scoffed at mathematics has been greatly shocked to learn what an important roll mathematics plays in the armed services. In many branches of the Army and Navy a thorough understanding of mathematics is vital to perform the duties in- volved. Many courses of mathematics are offered to students of Thornton. To sophomores and the more industrious freshmen, algebra is offered. For juniors there is plane geometry, and for those who wish to become engineers, meteorol- ogists, navigators, or to take up math as a sci- ence, advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry are offered. In the Business De- partment courses in business arithmetic are taught. By the time of graduation most Thorn- tonites have been exposed to mathematics in one form or another, even if they have not become proficient in its uses. Mr. Guy Phillips is the department head. — ■■■ ■■■■■■■■— The Industrial Arts Department with its staff of ten teachers, is one of the largest departments at Thornton. As well as the classes taught by ten full-time teachers, four classes of shop mathematics, two classes of trade chemistry, and one class in trade physics are taught each day. Subjects other than those mentioned which are taught in this department, are auto mechan- ics, mechanical drawing, blue print making, electricity, machine shop, woodworking, and metal work. Fellows who are seen bending over drawing boards, at work on all kinds of queer figures and angles, are more than likely in a mechanical drawing class sketching plans for various ob- jects for the machine shop. In auto mechanics students learn how to fix the mechanical ailment of an automobile by actually getting under the hood and doing the fixing. Students and teachers take cars in to be repaired, and in this way the department accomplishes a two-fold gain. The first is that automobiles are repaired quickly and well, and second is the practice the students get in repair- a ' ai p ' ZH ing the cars. The students of electricity learn about cir- cuits, motors, and other kinds of electrical equipment. Those who take machine shop spend four periods daily in the shop learning what makes the little wheels go ' round. To operate such machines as lathes, grinders, milling machines, and drill presses with skill and accuracy is the goal of students taking this subject. Woodworking prepares pupils for jobs as furniture makers and pattern makers, so impor- tant in industry today. A course in metal work is offered to fresh- men, wherein they learn something of sheet metal work. The ability to do such jobs as installing rain gutters on houses and removing dents from automobiles may be gained from this course. Mr. Lawrence Britton, head of the Industrial Arts Department, and his staff, have kept the department running efficiently through these war years, when new demands are made upon it each day. There is always music in the air in the region of rooms 146 and 147. In 146 the first Girls Choir meets. Just a minute now and all the Glee Club will be assembled. Because of the great num- ber of girls wishing to become members of the Choir, two years ago a second Girls ' Glee Club was formed. At present more than 150 girls participate in both clubs. The Boys ' Glee Club is considered the high spot of the day by most of its members. The boys sing at assemblies and other activities and are a real part of the school. After having been in one of the Girls ' Glee Clubs or the Boys ' Glee Club, students desirous of becoming a part of the A Cappella Choir may do so upon qualification. In 147 it ' s 1, 2, 3, 4; 1, 2, 3, 4; the Band is playing one of those peppy marches again, practicing for an assembly, a football or a basketball game, or even a concert. During sixth period the Orchestra with its strings, horns, and woodwinds, rehearses. Last is the harmony class, which now consists of five members. It is for students who are interested in furthering their musical knowledge and in writing music. The long hours of practicing by all the musical organizations are climaxed by concerts in December and May. Mr. Lyle Hopkins di- rects the Band and Orchestra, and Miss Pru- dence Thompson and Mr. Walter Armbruster direct the Choral groups. pRinT PEDDLERS Students here at Thornton all have the oppor- tunity of studying art in the Art Department, headed by Miss Dorothea Thiel. As a freshman, each student is required to take a course in art appreciation, acquainting him with the fundamentals of art and famous artists. As a sophomore he does more advanced work. As juniors and seniors, pupils are offered three types of art. Advanced art teaches figure drawing, portraitures, caricatures, mural de- signs, and printing techniques. Commercial art stresses advertising methods, good lettering, and forceful design. The stu- dents, as they learn, also provide the school with posters and murals for publicity of school projects. The crafts classes learn the theories of design and to apply them to clay, textiles, plastics, wood, leather, and other materials. The department is designed to help the pupil become efficient not only as a consumer of art but as a producer, teacher, interior decorator, or commercial artist. Art is a necessity in everyone ' s life. 40 am Como esta usted? Perhaps you take Span- ish. Ganz gut, danke, und Ihnen? ; maybe German is your meat. Tres bien, merci ; your French comes in handy when reading menus. Kak vy pozhivaete? Khorosho, spa ssibo! Russian is the coming language. And just to round out the conversation, comes a consoling, Pax vobiscum. Almost a quarter of the stu- dents at Thornton exult in a foreign language, and the above conversation is a sample of the international colony. Through the relationships with foreign coun- tries, which more and more people are ex- periencing every day, people are coming into contact with the problems, habits, and customs of other nationalities. Through learning of the problems of others, people find the way into their hearts. The language department, under Miss Mildred Anderson, is meeting the prob- lem of introducing foreign languages into the daily lives of Thornton students. The world at large is realizing that to under- stand people, we must first understand their language. A class in Russian was started this year to provide an opportunity for students and faculty members to increase their understanding of Russian people and their country. mm When as a freshman a girl enters Thornton, she first receives a physical examination at no expense to her. During that first year, she comes in contact with relays, tumbling, swim- ming, and folk dancing. During her next three years she has a choice of the type of physical education in which she- wants to participate. If she chooses sports, she enters a Sports I class in which she will learn the rudiments of many team sports. The Sports II classes give more chance for improving tech- nique in playing team games. If she wants to be able to hold her own in an individual sport, she can take Sports III in which she plays ping pong, badminton, deck tennis, and so on. If, when a girl is a freshman , she decides that she likes swimming best, she can take swimming I, II, or III, according to her ability. The Swimming I classes show the girls how to become accustomed to the water and teach elementary strokes and floats. Swimming II improves the elementary strokes and begins the more advanced strokes and the first dives. When a girl is a good swimmer, she can take Swim- ming III, where she will work on the fancy strokes and advanced dives. The Rhythms I classes teach the basic steps for modern dancing; Rhythms II classes teach variations of the modern dance and some foreign dances. Many a loyal Thorntonite has been seen walking down the halls with an exhausted look on his face. One may not know exactly what has exhausted the student, for the changes in the physical fitness program are in accordance with the seasons. In the fall the students run the obstacle course and play what is termed touch football. During the winter plenty of drill and tough calisthenics are the thing at the Buda gym, plus a type of basketball which makes commando fighting look like a pleasant pastime. When spring arrives, the boys are outside, except in case of earthquake, to practice taking the complete obstacle course in less than three minutes. The boys also engage in inter-class competitive games of baseball in the spring. This year the wearing of a gym suit and the number of cuts allowed was enforced by a state law, which was passed last summer. The con- tinual toughening of the boys ' physical educa- tion program for the armed forces by Mr. Jack Lipe, head of the department, was responsible for Thornton ' s program, which easily met the requirements of Illinois law. Every year all the girls in school spend at least two periods a week in physical education work. The Girls Physical Education Depart- ment, with Dr. Martha G. Carr as its head, offers enough variety to keep every girl inter- ested in physical fitness. Mmi i wu wwnmiHMi ■ ■ H I cnmERA!

Here at Thornton the members of the Class of 1945 have contacted a few of the joys and sorrows of the world. It takes hard work to make gradua- tion possible. Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, Senior Class Principal, is the one who has directed the lives of the Class of ' 45 into the right scholastic channels for the last three years. This Class of 1945 has had the usual number of parties. The first of these was its freshman party held in the three chief meeting places of Thornton: the auditorium, for entertainment; the little theater, for dancing; and the cafeteria, for food. These same little freshies found that there were extracurricular activities and clubs for everyone at Thornton, the first and foremost of these being the Boys ' and Girls ' Clubs. Beside these two important ones there are the language, choral, dramatic, sports, and a dozen other groups to interest almost everyone. Soon these students felt themselves a part of the stu- dent body and knew what was going on. As this group advanced another rung up the ladder of school life, it could see that life as a sophomore made it possible to look with hauteur on all incoming SENIOR SENATE Row 1: Lois Perkins, Barbara Cordt, Barbara Willows, Nancy Sheehan, Mar- jorie Hellstrom, Jacqueline Jackman, Phyllis Patterson. Row 2: Pat Manahl, Milan Popovich, Wendell Cantwell, Harry Fisher, Joseph Mezo, Harry McKee, Eleanor Salow. m 7 lOut d w Inr Mnlwj fl l fage 38 freshies. The following year when the helter-skelter of the first few days had passed and the new freshies were finding their proper classes, the ' 45ers discov- ered they were juniors and could go to the Prom, elect a May Queen, and have members of their class on the Varsity athletic teams. Then they became seniors. They need no longer be fearful of the too watchful eye that condemned them if they talked to freshies. They were far above that. The Class of 1945 has helped to start the KIP Association, an organization to aid students and fac- ulty to promote an even better Thornton for those who will follow. With its eye on the future the class forges ahead, the boys to military service and the girls to jobs and colleges. Graduation is the desired goal of every Thornton student. Having completed four years of schooling, he begins to realize what lies ahead. With the name of Thornton as his background, a student should be able with continued effort to succeed in his life ' s work. Solemnity reigns as the seniors proceed toward the athletic field. Dr. Clark B. Kuebler, president of Ripon College in Wisconsin, is the guest speaker of the evening. Then the class, having been presented by Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, Senior Class Principal, is awarded its diplomas by Dr. William E. McVey, Superintendent of Thornton Township High School and Junior College. Thus, another class steps forward into life with the knowledge and experience gained through its stay at Thornton. — —- aue Page 39 — m FLAG DflV Flag day is the time that all seniors make their debut in graduation caps and gowns. Although it is a day of joy, it is also a day of solemnity. In 1914 the senior class presented Thornton with a flag pole and a silk American flag. The silk flag was flown from the flag pole only for a short time daily, due to its perish- ability. Then as years passed the flag, fairly worn, was placed in the school vault. Since then each graduating class gives to the junior class a new eight-by-twelve-foot flag for use the following year. Last year the Parent-Teachers Association of Thornton Township High School and Junior College presented the school with a service flag in honor of all students who are serving our country in the present war. The one blue star represents the 3050 men and women in the armed forces of our country and one gold star represents the 43 Thorntonites who died for their country. The service flag is flown under the American flag. Thus, as the speakers conclude their talks and the Band plays its last selection, another Flag Day program has passed and Thornton ' s tradi- tion goes on throughout the years. nRTIOIML HOnOR SOCIETV To wear the National Honor Society membership pin, is the goal of many a junior and senior at Thornton. Scholarship, character, leadership, and service to the school are the basis for qualifica- tion to the society. Grade records which juniors and seniors have accumulated throughout their years at Thornton determine scholarship standing. Character, leadership, and service to the school are determined by the faculty, to whom a list of the students who qualify scholastically is submitted for approval. Taking charge of the sale of war bonds and stamps has been one of the duties of Thornton National Honor Society members. Students who worked at this job every Monday and Friday were Wesley Churchill, Eugene Grassmick, Haroldine Johnson, Harriett Jones, Joe Kaltwassen, Katherine Kehle, Tom Kehle, Richard Knapp, Mildred Mossel, Bill Ofcky, Mary Jean Ralph, Mary Ripplinger, Donna Ryskamp, Albert Thiernau, June Volbrecht, and August Vrshek. Thornton ' s local honor roll requires an average of 4.1, or B plus, through the four years of high school. This average automatically qualifies a student to membership on the Thornton honor roll.

Another year is past at Thornton. As the class scheduled to graduate in 1946 looks back on a year of activities, it is proud. Under the direction and supervision of Mr. John D. Mees, for the last two years the Class of ' 46 has had its share of school honors. During their freshman year many students earned high grades in their subjects, enabling them to be listed on Thornton ' s honor roll. Striving on, the class learned the ropes of the school, and before the first year had passed, its members had held their party and elected their freshman officers. As individuals they entered into extracurricular activities, including the Boys ' and Girls ' clubs, language clubs, freshman and sophomore sports, and other clubs and activities. Returning from summer vacation the now-sophomores did not hesitate to put the things they had learned to their advantage. They earnestly contributed to the life of the school. Their sophomore party, which included dancing, entertainment, and refresh- ments, was a great success, which many students attended. As individuals they continued to win honors for themselves in almost every field of any subject.

Page H2 HOnOR SOCIETV Although some people said the Class of ' 46 was waiting for the time when it could be the mighty senior class, the students buckled down to work. Now holding important executive offices that fell to them, the juniors, not as yet bothered by the endless details of graduation, assisted the underclasses in the life of the school. Many problems new to the class presented themselves, including the Prom, which proved to be the biggest social event of the year. When the KIP was set up, the juniors found they too had serious duties to perform. Working together the junior and senior classes presented their annual joint party last December. Finally when June came around, and the Class of ' 46 saw their older friends graduate, it seemed like yesterday when they first, a bit bewildered, entered the vast halls of Thornton. They, too, would depart into different parts of the world. Realizing that high school was three-fourths over, they resolved that they would accomplish all they could in the coming year, not only to better themselves, but to make a better Thornton which would long remember the Class of ' 46.

Paae 7S On a nice day in September more than 1000 freshmen crowded into Thornton ' s auditorium for their first assembly. Thus began the Class of 1948. Many of these freshies almost broke their backs carrying all their books around with them. Either they thought that they could not get to their lockers and then to class on time, or else they could not find their lockers. Of course some found their lockers, but the combinations just would not work! The story was around that some took plenty of time to eat, namely, all three lunch periods. Soon the freshies found out that they could not find 113 on the third floor, or 211 on the first floor, and they began to get to right classes and on time. The freshman class election is not held until the second semester, in order that first semester grades can be compiled and that the freshmen may have a chance to become acquainted with their classmates. Class officers were not elected at the time The Thorntonite went to press. All freshmen appreciate the help which Dr. C. R. Maddox, Freshman Class Principal, gave them during their first year at Thornton ; and when they receive their diplomas in ' 48, they will remember him with gratitude for guiding them through this new phase of their lives. As their first year ended, these students looked back over the many difficulties which they had overcome, and looked ahead with hope and confidence toward a sophomore year which would further train them to be good citizens.

In this organization there will be no partiality in any respect, democracy in all respects, stated Mr. O. F. Umbaugh, faculty adviser, at the installation ceremony of the office rs for the KIP Association, Thornton ' s student council, on January 25, 1945. After taking his oath of office, the newly-elected president, Bob Benson, swore in the other officers, Charles Conant, first vice-president ; Ardell Adams, second vice-presi- dent; Mary Ann Broderick, treasurer; Gloria Anderson, secretary; the board and forum members. Five officers, five seniors, four juniors, and three sophomores, compose the governing board of the organization. The five senior board members are Georgette Alexander, Bernard Arendt, Barbara Blake, Hugh Hodgson, and Gabby Marek. Juniors include Elvin Brown, Mary Howard, Betty Kreps, and William Purden. Tom Hopper, Richard Kolloway, and Bruce Smith are the sophomore members. The Forum is composed of one representative from each homeroom ; homerooms having sixty or more students elected two representatives. The officers and board members of the KIP meet every morning during the first period. The Forum meets once a month. According to the KIP constitution, this student organization has been formed to pro- vide training in citizenship for its members, to promote friendly and harmonious student- faculty relationship, to co-ordinate and promote worthy student activity, to maintain and encourage high standards of conduct and good citizenship, and to add to the general ' j-= W Page 92 welfare of the student body. All students who are registered and in attendance at Thornton have all the rights, privileges, and obligations of members of the KIP. A number of students expressed a desire for a student council which would cooperate with the faculty in solving school problems, so an election was held November 29, 1944, to see whether the entire student body wanted such an organization. It was voted upon and was approved by eighty-three per cent of the students. A temporary organizing committee, composed of one representative from each homeroom, in co-operation with Mr. Umbaugh, Dean of Boys, and the faculty representative committee, had full power to adopt a constitution. The committee of eight, elected to draw up a constitution, included Bob Benson, Mary Ann Broderick, Herbert Butler, Jack Daley, Mary Guthrie, Hugh Hodgson, Joe Mezo, and Keith Padgett. A temporary committee composed of members of the Boys ' and Girls ' Clubs, along with a faculty representative committee, assisted the students in organizing the student council. Composing the faculty committee were Mr. C. L. Beier, chairman, Miss Elizabeth Ford, Miss Grace Holton, and Mr. R. F. Lilley. The student committee included Bob Benson, Mary Lu Dowd, Warren Fraser, Mary Guthrie, Jim McHenry, Jeanne McNeil, Gabriel Marek, Lois Nofsger, Lois Perkins, Annetta Mae Smith, Doug Smith, Ralph Thorsen, Jim Waddell, and Mary Whitford.

Since 1916, when the club was organized by Miss Frances Gordon, the girls have learned to be co-operative, friendly individuals. Miss Helene Wilson, Dean of Girls, and Miss Vera Crites, Assistant, encourage the girls and help them to fulfill their Pledge of Loyalty. Besides more than one hundred minor officers, there are six major officers, all of whom are seniors, with the exception of the vice-president of the club, who is a junior. These major officers and the Dean of Girls direct the activities of the club. To transact business and to promote the activities of the club are the purposes of the Board of Control. This group consists of six seniors, five juniors, four sophomores, and three freshmen. The minor officers are the board, council, and division chairmen.

Evening are the outstanding social events on the Girls ' Club calendar. Other projects are also carried on during the year. Volunteers make bandages for the American Red Cross unit in Harvey every Wednesday afternoon, from three to four o ' clock. Every year a conference is held at one of the high schools in the district. Major officers, plus other girls who have given their services to the club, attend. Among the main events of the day are a luncheon and discussions. Two groups of girls visit the Home for Incurables once a month. Here the girls do their best to bring happiness to the patients. With so many activities one can easily see that girls are always ready to do service for others. Such is the attitude of Thornton girls.

After the processional the program continued on the theme of Arts and Flowers. This was the nineteenth annual program presented by the Girls Club honoring both mothers and daughters. In the past years a banquet has been held, but because of war-time rationing, this custom is no longer followed, girls participated in the program. Community singing, were features of the evening. Besides having a pleasing personality, the queen and members of the court must have a satisfactory citizenship rating and a C plus scholarship record.

After this ceremony, which aims to start all freshman girls toward becoming acquainted, the Stand-up Queen, Girls Club President Mary Whitford, was presented with the traditional crown, scepter, robe, and cushion. Before the queen the apprentice seamen pantomimed their stunt, a minstrel show. Can Canners was presented by the seamen second class. The seamen first class dramatized Murder Over Love, and Deck Styles were shown by the chief petty officers. The Ceremony of the Green followed when the queen distributed gifts to the freshmen.

This year the Boys Club has come of age, 1945 representing its twenty-first year of existence. To the four members of the faculty who organized the club in 1924, especially to Mr. A. C. Brookley, Mr. O. F. Umbaugh, and Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, who still remain as faculty mem- bers of Thornton, this must indeed bring a feeling of achievement when they look to the infant they fostered. Mr. Umbaugh is the faculty adviser now. Though still in its youth, through the years the Boys Club has been doing a full job. The many activities it has sponsored, the annual play co-sponsored with the Girls Club, and Stag, a party given annually to promote better understanding between the boys and their dads, stand in mute testimony of this.

Since its conception in 1924 by Dr. William E. McVey, who ap- pointed the four class principals to organize the club, the Boys Club has grown to be one of Thornton ' s largest organizations. It helps to further student education and social activities and with the Girls Club presents a number of programs each year for the entire student body. The problems which it has faced and conquered are many and varied, and the future will bring still more, but with the record of the past the Boys Club feels that it can conquer the problems of the future.

Under the direction of Mr. Lyle Hopkins the band plays at assemblies, football, basketball games, and various other programs during the school year. Since the beginning of World War II, the Band has participated in twenty patriotic affairs in the com- munity, industry, and school. In recognition of this patriotic service the Band was presented in the spring of 1944 with a Distinguished Service Cita- tion by the Music War Council of America. Numerous plaques may be seen on the walls of the Band room, 147, which represent many contests in which the Band has participated and received awards. Besides all the other activities of the Band, it presents its own spring concert each year ; this year it was the sixteenth an- nual concert that was given on March 2. Each year at the graduation exercises the band plays Pomp and Circumstance as the seniors march to their last Thorn- ton assembly.

STOUT HEARTED STALWARTS Everybody who knows anything about Thornton knows of the sometimes boisterous singing that comes from 146 sixth period. This is the Boys Glee Club, whose popularity grows from year to year. This organiza- tion, numbering more than seventy, offers a type of music which is strictly masculine, from the hearty Stout Hearted Men to melodious Dear Land of Home. Activities are always numerous, the Christmas Concert, Spring Festival, assemblies, and grade school concerts being among the most important. Any boy who has been a member of this organization fondly cherishes his memories of the Boys Glee Club. HEVDETS The choral group, which at its beginning three years ago was known as the Girls Madrigal, is now the Keydets and consists of twenty singers. The girls meet after school and work on songs which are more complicated than those sung in the regular Girls Glee Clubs. The Keydets perform at Girls Club assemblies and for womans club meetings. They are under the direction of Miss Prudence Thompson. KEYDETS Anita Court, Elizabeth Clark, Lois Joiner, Flora Gallegos. Jean McNeil, Jean Lave, Bobbette Anderson. Betty Anderson.

CAR0LII1G CHORISTERS The A Cappella Choir is composed of ninety members this year, all of whom possess an exceptional interest in music and many of them considerable musical training. During the year the Choir, under the direction of Mr. Walter Armbruster, made two main appearances. The first, the Christmas Concert, was a great success as usual. Due to the increasing demand, the Concert was given two nights, instead of one. The program was both impressively reverent and cheering, sending everyone away filled with the spirit of Christmas. The Choir in purple gowns added to the majesty of the music. The annual Spring Concert was replaced this year by a Spring Festival, which was held the second week in May, National Week. This Spring Festival was put on by the Girls and Boys Glee Clubs, the A Cappella Choir, the Band, and the Orchestra, with the added attraction of a guest soloist. The Choir was also honored during the year by taking part in WGN ' s radio broadcast, Citizens of Tomorrow, on January 13.

Sixteen jolly tars hornpiped across the deck and lustily chanted, We sail the ocean blue, and our jolly ship ' s a beauty! as Gilbert and Sullivan ' s H. M. S. Pinafore dropped anchor and hove to for a two-night stand. With Mr. Walter S. Armbruster as Commodore, forty-five members of the A Cappella choir had successfully weathered months of rehearsal, to present on the nights of March 10 and 11, Thornton ' s first operetta in several years. Pinafore ' s colorful nautical atmos- phere was natural publicity, and every member of the school was aware of its coming weeks before it docked at Port Thornton. Gay posters of old salts decorated the halls, harbor notices giving the vital statistics were put in every locker, and everywhere the cast hummed, When I Was a Lad, to the delight of those landlubbers who hadn ' t spent long hours at the shipyard down in the auditorium. After the complicated plot was un- tangled, Rafe and Josephine united, and the grand finale of He Was An English- man roared to a close, the entire crew was rewarded by storms of applause and repeated curtain calls. The graceful sails filled, anchor was hoisted, and Her Majesty ' s Ship Pina- fore sailed away into the mists of the early spring night. Down in the forgotten nooks and cobwebby corners of the stage, however, there are ghosts; a salt wind blows, and very faintly, late in the night comes the sound of creaking spars and voices singing, Old sailors never die, never die — PLAYS Then on the nights of November 9, 10, and 11, George Washington Slept Here, a comedy by Hart and Kaufman, was presented by the Boys and Girls Club with Lois Nofsger and Fredrick Waldschmidt as business managers. The Newton Fullers had their troubles, quarrels over the brook and road leading to it ; the attempted elopement of Madge Fuller ; and week-end guests, including Uncle Stanley, who turned out to be bank- rupt when money was most needed. Eventually, though, things turned out for the best, after all that trouble. Students who took part were Georgette Alexander, James Bethel, Cleo Broom, Richard Campbell, Norma I Ehman, Gwen Gray, Phil Hayes, Barry Hilts, Hugh Hodgson, David Huston, Joan Lipe, Hubert Richard- son, Carol Rutz, Barbara Smuts, William Strawbridge, Charles Strawbridge, and Hattie Taylor. Mr. E. C. Ohlert directed both plays. PLflVS Last April 28 and 29 the senior class presented A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur ' s Court to a full house. This humorous comedy, taken from Mark Twain ' s book, dramatizes the Yankee from Connecticut, a fresh from college electrical en- gineer, anxious to try his hand at any mechanical device, who knocks himself out with one experience and wakes up in King Arthur ' s court. The striking contrast between the old and new developed into events which caused side-splitting humor; Old Merlin, a genuine villian; Hank and Lancelot ' s argument; Sir Galahad ' s reprimand about toilet soap; and Hank ' s taking over the court and modernizing it with a drug store around the corner. The actors were Ruth Brock, John Cairns, Ruth Hansen, Fama Johnson, Betty Kuykendall, Joy Mul- lender, Harry Pierre, Charles Reed, Shirley Roberts. Leo Sample. Ray Sons, Bette Spitzka, and Bill Van- denberg. PURPLE X Row 1: Becky Beck, Lois Nofsger, Georgette Alexander, O. F. Umbaugh George Clark, Joan Lipe, Mary Whit ford, Carol Vander Kloot.

PARTY PEOPLE and PUBLIC PROUIOTERS To provide recreation for students after football and basketball games was one of the chief aims in organizing the Purple X, which now sponsors, besides the open houses, an annual banquet for its new members. The Purple X Committee, a group of students and faculty members, was started in 1938, with Mr. O. Fred Umbaugh as faculty adviser, a position which he still holds. The name of the committee was chosen from the school color, purple, and X , to symbolize the various activities of the committee. Candidates for Purple X are suggested by faculty members. Students who will represent the student body most satisfactorily are selected. Total member- ship of the committee is forty-five, three-fourths of whom are students. Originally a faculty member was treasurer. After Mr. R. S. Berg resigned the position this year, a stu- dent treasurer, Jim Bethel, was elected. The other officers are George Clark, chairman, and Georgette- Alexander, secretary. Hi-Y at Thornton was originally organized by the Boys Club to create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community high standards of Christian character and to promote sportsmanship and clean play. The junior branch of the Young Men ' s Christian Association endeavors to teach the boys how to use their leisure time most profitably. Thornton Hi-Y is affiliated with both the state and national Hi-Y, as well as with neighboring Chicago clubs, and as such sends representatives to regional conventions. It has taken over the job of securing money for the Prisoner of War Fund and maintains checkroom facilities for the Purple X open house. The boys help conduct the club Sahara, dry teen-age night club, sponsored by the 111th Street YMCA. Club officers are Bill Haase, president; Bill Simp- son, vice president; Roy Beeby, secretary; and Teunis Paarlberg, treasurer. The faculty adviser is Mr. Herbert Bricker. An impressive initiating ceremony is held at the beginning of each school year. Dancing and basket- ball are some of the social activities planned at the bi-weekly meetings. HI-Y Roger Triemstra, William Simpson, Bill Haase, Teunis Paarlberg, Royden Budy. DOITIESTIC DOLLS Eat it up, wear it out, make it do, do with- out is the motto of Thornton ' s Home Eco- nomics Club, which is affiliated with the Na- tional Home Economics Association. As a Christmas welfare project, stuffed toys were made and dolls were dressed, to be dis- tributed to needy children. This year the girls had to stuff more animals and dress fewer dolls because of the decrease in the availability of dolls. There were gingham dogs and calico cats, chintz horses, spotted giraffes, and horses with huge ears when the toys were assembled. In January the Home Economics Club and the Homemaking Department presented its an- nual Mother and Daughter Tea and Style Show. About 150 girls modeled garments and served tea after the style show. Two girls are sent to the State Club Camp each summer. Dolores Vondracek and Gertrude Cuffe were the girls who attended last summer. Several delegates attended the fall district rally this year, held at the Community High School at Zion, Illinois. Club meetings are held once a month, and during the past year the girls had the privilege of hearing Mrs. Helen Stevens Fisher, the Have-Some-Fun lady, as a speaker at one meeting. Miss Elizabeth Ford is sponsor of the club. Jean Broderick, Treasurer; Suzanne Holmes, Sec- retary; Joanne Black, President; Lorraine Lenke, Vice-President.

Swiftly black beetling eyebrows de- veloped magically on sunny blonde complexions, and lines of worry heretofore expected in not less than forty years matured within five minutes, aided by a liner guided by the steady hand of one of the make- up experts. Upstairs in a music studio commandeered by the zealous costume committee, two chairs and a board were arranged to form a makeshift, yet sturdy, iron- ing board, and the persons in charge were chatting over the possibilities of three curtain calls. In another studio a prompter is carefully going over the lines with the leading lady, and up in the electricians ' booth the electricians are going over the lights in a last-minute check up. This is the life of the Footlighters. The purpose of the organization is to further the cause of drama and to enjoy the privilege of producing its favorite plays for itself. Members attend a number of the Goodman Theater plays to see how others do it. FOOTLIGHTERS Sam Sutton, President: Carol Rutz, Vice-Pr Broom, Secretary; Hugh Hodgson, Treasurer. udent; Cleo Camera ! Lights ! Action ! Swing that spotlight over here, will you, Joe? The stage is set, and Camera Club members are polishing lenses and setting exposures for their future masterpieces. At the crucial moment that the film is exposed, and down the fans rush to the darkroom. Mounds of chemicals are mixed into magical fluids, and handsome black outlines mystically appear on special paper. Wratten series lights glimmer in the dark cavern, and over in a corner a musical trickle of water runs, shining like a phosphorescent waterspout in the red or yellow half-light. Presently other members come surging in with pic- tures of history just made or of glorious scenes, all using the medium of the lens and sensitive film to express their love of the world beautiful. Officers for the 1944 -1945 camera season were Louis Davidson, president; Palmer Fenwick, vice president; Mary Zinn, secretary, and Carol Clement, treasurer. The sponsor is Mr. Herbert Bricker. CAMERA CLUB Mary Zinn, Secretary: Louis Davidson, President: Palmer Fenwick, Vice-President; Carol Clement, Treasurer. The Pierian Club is composed of students who are interested in writing. The club members write and criticize manuscripts of members for entertainment and enlightenment. The club was started a few years ago to have a place where kindred souls could gather and discuss their manuscripts. To make the setting more realis- tic the club was named after the mythical Pierian Spring where Apollo and the Nine Muses gathered for inspiration in ancient Greece. Limited to twenty, the club selects its own mem- bers. Recommendations of talented and interested students are made by the English teachers. The club then judges the work of the candidates and accepts or rejects them. The Pierian Club is an organization where the thoughts and dreams of its members find expression on paper. Miss Parepa Ingraham is the adviser. PIERIAN CLUB Row 1: Connie Vanderkloot, Mary Zinn, Betty Wright, Katharine Kehle, Becky Beck, Carol Vanderkloot, Jeannette Chiz.

Swing ' s the thing, do ya dig us, Jackson? And you ' ll see what we mean if you drop around to the jive room, the little theater, to the uninitiated, where all the hep cats and solid reeters gather on Friday nights, come 3:30.

Oh, there he is, standin ' behind the cat. After you get inside the room and eye the fellow cats, you can hear the mellow horn of Harry James bleeting forth with some sweet, groovy music such as The Porter Stomp, and the cats go wild. Harry ' s in there pitchin ' with Opus Number 1. The crowd begins to gather so that one can ' t even see the floor. And in a little while the walls are shakin ' , an ' the floor is jumpin ' . The room begins to creep. The alligators, reet pleeters, stuff cuffers (ad infinitum) give out with the limber leg. And all wear out their muscles or dance till they drop, at approximately 4:30. Then look out, the stampede is on. There ' s that bus to catch, and the train to run after. Off they go. A NIGHT TO REMEMBER At last it had come ! The evening that everyone had been dreaming of for months finally came, the long-awaited May 13, the night of the Junior-Senior Prom. The sky was a-glitter with each star trying to out- shine the others as hundreds of students found their way to the Lincolnshire Country Club, where the strains of music floated softly out into the summer air. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Froschauer, Mr. and Mrs. K. J. Lipe, and Mr. and Mrs. F. Ring were chaperons for the evening. Bob Roberts and his orchestra were the music-makers, pleasing everyone by playing every- thing from La Conga to a slow waltz. Just as with Cinderella, at twelve midnight the ball came to an end, except in memory. P. T. A. Mrs. H. M. Hodgson, Mrs. John Wernicke, Mrs. N. M. Tourtellotte, Dr. W. E. Mc- Vey, Mrs. John McNeil, Mrs. Joseph Schwarz, Mrs. Karl Treen, Mrs. Leslie Salter, Mrs. A. W. Schiller. A better tomorrow for our boys and girls through a better understand- ing of the problems of today was the timely program theme of the Parent Teachers Association for the year. Authorities and members of the faculty of Thornton presented various phases of the theme at the meetings, held the fourth Tuesday evening of each month throughout the school year. After the general business of the month was discussed, the program chairman presented programs concerning the problems of child welfare and child betterment. Musical entertainment of various forms preceded the speech or panel discussion. The meeting closed with refreshments in the cafeteria. At this time parents had an opportunity to meet the members of the faculty socially and talk over the problems concerning their children and students, respectively. The largest financial undertaking of the year was the Gay Nineties County Fair, complete with an old country store, follies, and barkers. Six major activities are the work of the PTA each year. These are general welfare, membership, publicity, parent education, program plan- ning, and student aid. The student aid project is one of the chief works of the PTA and presents needy students with opportunities to earn money for necessary expenses, such as books, car fare, and lunches. These activities are carried on in an unobtrusive manner with the PTA in the background as much as possible. The PTA is the link between the parents and teachers of Thornton, a valued and efficient organization, necessary in the proper training of future citizens. Page 121 Another year, another yearbook, a book that will be enjoyed by others, bringing back the memories gathered while here at Thornton. In previous years there have been two special senior English classes, one for students interested in pub- lishing the school weekly, and one for those interested in the yearbook. This year, however, the two classes were combined so that one class publishes both pub- lications, both known as The Thorntonjte. Taking pictures, planning layouts, writing, editing, ' and typing copy are some of the many jobs for which the staff is responsible. A very necessary and impor- tant job is that of advertising. The financial success , of the book is entirely dependent upon the work of I the advertising staff. A major problem this year was to secure an en- l graver since the Standard Photo Engraving Company, which had done the work on The Thorntonite for more than twenty years, had gone out of business In an effort to keep within the budget and yet bring forth a book worthy of Thornton and to be enjoyed by all, the staff burned gallons of midnigh oil trying to achieve the nearly impossible. The hope and dream of every staff member is t see his production in print, and when he does, h i feels he has profitably closed another year Thornton. The cycle which a newspaper such as the Thorn tonite follows is important in two respects. Nunc ber one is time. It is the most important word the newspaper business. Get the stuff in, type, rea copy, write headlines, proofread the galleys, past up the dummy pages, read page proof, and finall distribute the paper to its readers, students and adults at Thornton and all over the globe.

To do a good job and to get an item in on time is the hurdle all newspaper people must overcome, or they never be- come good reporters. However if a person can do these things well, but cannot find the news to write about, he is also in a bad way. A good reporter must have a nose for news. The Thorntonite is distributed on Tuesdays, so preparations for the paper must be made on Mon- day of the previous week. Such questions as who is going to appear in the Senior Spotlight, who has been interviewed for the Navy Blue and Khaki, how many items are to be included in the Melting Pot and the joke column, all these things must be arranged be- tween Monday and Wednesday one week previous to the publication date, when material for the second and third pages is sent to the printer. With that much completed, the editors have only to worry about what news will appear for the first and fourth pages. All copy which possibly can be is prepared for the printer by Friday afternoon, but the account of events that take place over a week-end must be in before school Monday morning. They also must be made ready and sent to the printer. If the person who wrote up the football game, which took place on Saturday, were ill and could not get to school on the following Monday, a big blank space on the sports page might result. Page proof is returned to the printer early Mon- day, and any last-minute changes are then made. Mis- spelled words are brought to the attention of the printer, and the page proof is again sent back to the print shop. Another issue is put to press, and so it goes on and on. ■■BMj HMa H|M| H|MHHBMH||MMBHHHH| ACTIOM Page M25 FOOTBALL With only four lettermen returning from last season, the coaches. Head Coach Jack Lipe and As- sistant Frank Froschauer, molded together a winning football combination composed of last year ' s subs and boys who came up from the Frost-Soph eleven. After the Thornton Wildcats had piled up four consecutive victories, loyal fans anxiously awaited the forthcoming game with Bloom. It came, and Thorn- ton was defeated 7 to on a rain-soaked field. With that climax to the 1944 season, the Wildcats had to be satisfied in sharing the ' 44 football championship of the South Suburban league with Bloom. By strength of this victory, the Warner Cup, after a stay of only one year, took another trip from Har- vey to Chicago Heights, where the Trojans are now the possessors. The Wildcats trail in the cup series, having lost nine games to Bloom and having won eight. Row 1: Eugene Mecli, Gabby Marek, Bob Benson, Joe Pycz, Lawrence Lottino, Elvin Brown, Pete Petkovich.

After Thornton scored in the second period via a 22 yard jaunt by Barney Arendt, Oak Park came back with a safety in the third period plus a touchdown and extra point in the last quarter to take the game by a slim margin. This was the initial defeat of the season. In what was supposed to be a tight game accord- ing to scribes, the Wildcats walked over Kankakee, a supposedly strong contender for the league title, by the score of 26 to 0. The Kay ' s passing attack r« failed, while a splendid running attack brought vic- tory to the Wildcats. The first game of the season brought together Blue Island and Thornton. In the third period the Comms went ahead 6 to 0, but the Wildcats were not to be denied a victory. John Tourtellotte smashed through all opposition and raced 32 yards to even the count. In the fourth period after a 37 yard march Barney Arendt went around left end unmolested from the three yard line to score the winning touchdown and to make the final score 12 to 6. Thornton gained its third league victory by turn- ing back a strong and speedy Argo eleven 13 to Page 127 PIGSKII1 HAMMOND at the Starch City. Gerald Jacobs went over to score from the one yard mark in the first period. In the second half the Wildcats scored as soon as they got possession of the pigskin just as they did in the previous period. John Tourtellotte drove over from the four for the touchdown and Gabby Marek kicked the extra point. Revenge for the only defeat in 1943 was dealt out to Calumet City in the form of a 19 to 7 lacing. After a pass to Pete Petkovich to set up the first touch- down, John Tourtellotte plunged over from the two yard line for the first score. Again in the third quar- ter Tourtellotte scored to make it 12 to 0. Bob Benson converted for the extra point. Cal City scored its only touchdown via a 14 yard pass to Stokes, and Nondorf kicked for the extra point. The Wildcats scored once again when Barney Arendt smashed from the four yard line. Battling Hammond for the first time since 1941, when Thornton was trounced 38 to 0, the Wildcats proved their power as they avenged that defeat by a 1 2 to win. John Tourtellotte scored the first touch- down in the third period, and later in that period Barney Arendt raced 46 yards to the last score.

Row 2: Joe Pycz, Dave Koss, Walter Taralla, Eugene Mech, August Rinella. n ir nmH i i i r Mainly responsible for the Wildcats ' success was the line that proved to be powerful, as it kept many opponents from scoring and greatly aided the offen- sive tactics. Despite the fact that Mr. Jack Lipe is not primarily a line coach, the line held three teams score- less for three successive weeks, and only 29 points were scored against Thornton during the whole season. At the end positions were Pete Petkovich and Roland Nelson while Eugene Mech and Bill Dennis also saw considerable action. Gabby Marek, Dexter Olson and Elvin Brown performed at the tackle spots while Bob Benson and Lawrence Lottino functioned at the guard positions; Augie Rinella, Bill Kudak and Warren Fraser filled in at the guard spots, jQe Pycz handled the center position aided by Daye Koss. Nine of the twenty lettermen just mentioned will be back for another season. This number pis twice as many as returned for the ' 44 season. , In the backfield Barney Arendt rain for the long gains; John Tourtellotte plunged and drove for those few precious yards vitally needed ; Rial ' ph Silberman was called on to do the major blocking; Gerald Jacobs did the punting, and Walter Tarala did the passing.

This is the year to rebuild! With these words and only one letterman back, Coach K. J. Lipe at the beginning of the 1945 basketball season set about to remodel and revamp the Flying Clouds. Glancing at the season ' s record, after the final game with Lock- port, one would conclude that only a beginning had been made for the Clouds won seven and lost nine of their sixteen games. Although the team this year lost over half of its games, Mr. Lipe has been successful in giving many underclassmen a chance to gain valuable experience, for six le ttermen are scheduled to return next year. Many a team that faced the Clouds during the year was somewhat surprised to find themselves playing against the second team and often took advantage of this to the extent of a victory. These defeats may be the seeds of victories next year. Despite an uncanny tendency to win when they were supposed to lose, and lose when they should have won, the Clouds finished fourth in the South Suburban League this year, stepping aside to Kanka- kee, which went through twelve league games un- defeated. The ' 45 Clouds still managed to come out on top of two of their three toughest and most thrill- ing games of the year. Those games were with Blue Island here, Cal City here, and Kankakee there. Thornton entered the Big Four Basketball Tourna- ment held at Waukegan during the Christmas holi- days; the team was decisively defeated twice and ended up in last place. Later in the season the Clouds again put the experience from these defeats to work in giving their South Suburban opponents some keen competition. Aside from experience, many people believe that as individuals the Clouds were as good as ever, but the records failed to show this. Coach Lipe puts it this way, The boys lacked the experience and the fundamentals of basketball that come only with play- ing together as a team in regular league competition, they didn ' t have the experience necessary to make a winning combination. The Clouds ' starting line-up for about half the games used Bob Anderson and Ralph Silberman as forwards. Ralph and Bob were kept busy all season, for the Clouds used a constant fast break type of offense. Elvin Brown was starting center with Dexter Olson substituting at that spot. Gerald Bradley and Bob Rundin started at guard positions. When Rundin was graduated at the end of the first semester, Bill Purden replaced him at guard. Gerald Jacobs and Bob Shymkus also saw enough action to earn letters. Row 1: Bill Purden, Elvin Brown, Gerald Bradley, Bob Rundin. Row 2: Bob Shymkus, Dexter Olson, Ralph Silberman, Bob Anderson.

Thornton ' s 1944 nine won a total of five out of eight games to give a .625% rating for the season ' s play. Although as a team the boys made a showing of a little better than average record for the year, Coach Frank Froshauer termed 1944 a bad year at Thornton for baseball. Having lost literally all his players the year before, Mr. Froshauer used the games scheduled to train sophomores and juniors; as a result eight lettermen returned to form the 1945 squad. The three pitchers who saw action were Julius Chick, Gerald Jacobs, and Ralph Silberman. The nine tallied wins twice against Argo and Blue Island and once against Fenger. They lost twice to Bloom and once to Lockport. The other game with Lockport was canceled. The eight lettermen who returned for 1945 are Barney Arendt, Ivan Behm, Gerald Jacobs, Gerald Bradley, Paul Jacob, William Kolloway, Ralph Sil- berman, and David Thyer. Those who received letters for their part in base- ball for 1944 were Bernard Arendt, Richard Baud, Ivan Behm, Gerald Bradley, Julius Chick, Alec Clark, Tom Einbecker, Paul Jacob, Gerald Jacobs, Bill Kol- loway, Ralph Silberman, and David Thyer. 1944 BATTING AVERAGES Richard Baud 400 Julius Chick 375 Bill Kolloway 365 Ivan Behm 350 Gerald Jacobs 315 Tom Einbecker 275 Paul Jacob 250 Alec Clark 225 Ralph Silberman 225 Bernard Arendt 200 Gerald Bradley 175 David Thyer 150 Thornton ' s athletic department gives a com- mando swimming course four days per week exclusive of its regular five day per week boys ' physical education program. The students, fully clothed, pass such tests as 200 yard free style swimming, remaining afloat 45 minutes without touching the sides or bottom of the pool, and the 40 yard under- water swim. In order to be eligible for this course, boys have to be 17 years of age and be fairly good swimmers. This course was organized for the purpose of giving Thornton ' s young men about to enter the armed services some experience swimming under abnormal conditions which are encoun- tered only during a period of war. As the young men of Thornton flow into the various branches of the services and onward to the fighting fronts of the world, perhaps this nine-week swimming course m ay me an having them return.  w_ __£ ! Thornton ' s 1944 senior track team placed third in the South Suburban meet held at Bloom on May 26. The reason for its weakness was not lack of talent, but lack of quantity. In both teams combined Thorn- ton only had 24 boys, while Bloom had 133 boys out for track. In addition, Hendry Bennett, outstanding member of the senior team, injured his ankle just before the above mentioned meet.

The Indians set up camp near the swimming pool, col- lected their gear, and presented to Thornton a swim- ming pageant, Tepee Town. The first glimpse the audience had showed fisher- men at the pool trying to catch the bright fish that scampered about. Some of the men got bites, but the fish pulled them into the water so that all joined in games and swimming. Later a squaw brought the children out to play in the water. They frisked around and played games until the big turtle scared them all away. The maidens came out, tested the water with a big toe, and after deciding it was warm enough, dived in and performed the beautiful spirals and formations that have made water pageants so popular. The maidens got out of the water when the war- riors came out whooping and hollering. After a re- freshing swim they tried to show up one another by performing many fancy dives. They did jack knives and swan dives and so on until one of them caught sight of the maidens on the edge of the pool. They went over for a little chat, and then all dived in and played a pretty game of Follow the leader. The finale brought the entire tribe into the pool. The entire production was under the direction of Big Chiefs Marthalou Gray and Marguerite Beg- noche of the Girls ' Physical Education Department with Barbara Buyer as student director.

The Girls ' Athletic Association offers to girls the opportunity to further their education in the world of sports. The club, sponsored by the Girls ' Physical Education Department, is under the direction of the teachers of the department and of the GAA Board and officers. The fire on January 9, 1945, which destroyed the faculty offices and corrective gymnasium wiped out all of the records of the club since its beginning in 1928, so the club started anew this year. Soccer and life saving were the introductory sports, with volley ball following. The basketball season, most popular of all, followed these after being delayed by loss of equipment and records in the fire. At the annual basketball banquet, the numerals and T ' s were awarded to the girls who had earned them. Upon completion of one sports season, a girl auto- matically becomes a member of GAA. Girls who complete three seasons of sports received their numerals, that is, the abbreviated number of the year in which they will be graduated. Girls with five sea- sons to their credit received the three-inch T, and seniors and juniors who show continued interest in the welfare of the club received the coveted five- inch T. The social chairman, one of the board members, plans so that there is something going on for GAA members even between the sports seasons. This year there were play days, freshman and co-ed, splash parties, and activities other than the regular team sports. This year a leader, a girl outstanding in physical education work, was chosen for each of the girls ' physical education classes. Leaders are chosen accord- ing to leadership and ability, and they assist the teachers in conducting class work.
