United Township High School - Skyline Yearbook (East Moline, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 102 of the 1946 volume:

Uu £e uasi United Township High School East Moline, Illinois PteluxUe During four years of joys and heartaches, the seniors of today have listened with mingled emotions to the incessant hum echoing through the vast halls of our alma mater. As freshmen, we entered into the realm of pianissimo, spending much of our time receding into the background, gaping wide-eyed as a group of “dignitaries” passed by ... As sophomores we became a little more courageous, blending our babble with the cheerful medley—By the time we were upperclassmen, our group had subdued its fears and assumed a merry allegro spirit . . . Now we are seniors! We have come to merge the rhythm of our everyday habits into one great song of life. It is to this song that we commemorate this book of school memories. Scattered strains of Shout for Hast Moline have left these classrooms with our fellow students in uniform, who have traveled to far outposts of the earth—Saipan, Guadalcanal, Leyte, 1 wo Jima, Kiska—to fight and die so that this harmony may continue to flow throughout their treasured Hilltop High. It is to these loyal defenders of freedom that we dedicate this book.

For these returning patriots and for the teenage people of the community, the Major Keys are always on hand to direct and assist them in planning their programs and to help them carry their work through so that they will be prepared confidently to take their places as future citizens in the world of tomorrow.

Dawson. fioand £ $44ecitio i During our four years at high school we have probably heard very little of the Board of Education. But to this board as well as to our teachers we owe a deep appreciation. These seven men direct and provide for all the education and activities of the school. All of these men, except Frank Almquist, have served twenty years or more on the board. Mr. Almquist was elected to the board last year. S. E. LONG Amid the hustle of school activities we pause to remember S. E. Long, who died March 4, 1945. Mr. Long had been a member of the Board of Education since May 6, 1927, and president since April 20, 1928. We take this opportunity to honor Mr. Long, a sincere worker for the school and a true school citizen. Page Ten Superintendent Lee O.

However, there will be many absent faces—faces of those boys who have left their beloved alma mater to answer the call of Uncle Sam. Though they leave behind their classmates and many happy memories, they are fulfilling a duty, and some, even paying the supreme sacrifice. We have been inspiringly led through four years of high school life by our sponsor, Miss Helen Anderson. We also have had capable leadership extended by our senior class officers: President__________________Andy Poelvoorde Vice-President ___________Clyde Anderson Secretary-Treasurer ____Dot Liebbe Page Eighteen fyitei. fy ALBERT ALLIN “AL” Bio-Chcm-Ics (2, 3, 4) Chorus (2) WARREN ALLSTON “Beaver” Band (I, 2, 3, 4) CHIEF’ CLYDE ANDERSON “ANDY” “Love 'em and leave ’em” Bio-Chcm-Ics (2, 3, 4) Business Club (4) Bands (1, 2, 3, 4) Orchestra (4) Football (2) Class Secretary-Treasurer (2, 3) Class Vice-President (4) SHIRLEY JEANNE ANDERSON “SCOTTY” Business Club (3) Chorus (2,3) SHIRLEE MAE ANDERSON “SHIRK” Hi, you hep cat” G.A.A.

The Advisory Board is composed of representatives from each home room in the school. The purpose of this organization is best explained in the council's preamble, which reads: “In order to promote a spirit of cooperation between the faculty and the students of the United Township High Sch(X)l, to outline and foster student participation in school government, and to develop a more general interest in activities and accomplishments of the students of this high school, this organization is established The president is elected by popular vote of the student l ody, and the rest of the officers are elected by the board members. Three of the major committees in the council are the Pep, Service, and Assembly. During the year, the board, which meets twice a month, accomplished many things, the major one being the work on the school sign. This year’s officers are Melto Goumas, president; DeWayne Edwards, vice-president; Rose Mary Vogl, secretary; Dick Boyle, treasurer; Miss Claribel Fehrman and Mr. Harvey Pierson, advisers.

GlteeftleadeAsl This year’s cheerleaders, both sophomore and varsity, have done a great job in guiding and improving school spirit. Through their encouragement and leadership, the students have participated whole-heartedly in cheering. The cheerleaders, elected by the Advisory Hoard who purchased new uniforms for them, led the cheers at all of the home and many of the “travel” basketball and football games. The varsity leaders are Shirley Ziegler, Elaine Sperry, Shirley Braucht, and Earl Heard. The sophomore group consists of Pat Pendleton, Frances Bedeian, and Mary Ann Burge. Since all of these cheerleaders are underclassmen, the cheering prospects for next year are very bright. QwLtiteAA, Club Back row, left to right: P. J.

To any girl who wishes to make the home the happiest spot on earth, the Home Economics club is a great help. The regular homemaking projects, such as cooking and sewing, are divided into many different phases and sections. The prize possession of the Home Economics Club and classes is the model apartment. This year pride was taken in the remodeling of the living room and bedroom, the results of which showed great skill and ingenuity. Among the many parties given by the department the Yuletidc party in the clothing lab, made realistic by Elouise Hicks in the role of Santa Claus and the other holiday decorations, was the most outstanding. The Hobo party with Jacqueline McConkey, Colleen Dunbar and Nancy Franklin as the best dressed hoboes also was one of the best parties of the year. The club elected the following officers: president, Jewel Curtis; vice-president, Lois Jean Hart; treasurer, Hetty Newberg; secretary, Norma Talarico.

Sophie Gust has done a con brio job as choir accompanist during her two years of service; Phyllis Kerns and Ruth Long accompany the chorus. The girls’ trio, composed of Lillian Littlewood, Muriel Lenox, Ann Churchill, and Phyllis Kerns, accompanist, has made several public appearances. Page Sixty-tuo GUosmA, The chorus made up of students who are interested in choral work, boasts a membership of eighty-four. The choir, composed of seventy selected singers, presented its first concert on December 16 with the Christmas vespers which was followed by the Lenten Oratorio, “The Seven Last Words of Christ,” by DuBois on April 14. The Annual Spring concert was presented on May 10. For the past several years the choir has led an annual Christmas carol sing over Radio Station WHBF.

Although many instruments were lost by fire, the band did a great job in “getting along” until new ones could be obtained. During the year the band has taken an active part in activities including marching and playing at games, playing on assemblies, performing for other schools, taking part in the Mississippi Valley Music Festival, and presenting the annual concert.

The Girls’ Athletic Association was organized at United Township High School in 1929 under the leadership of Miss Emma Mae Smith, former physical education teacher here, and Miss Dorothy Calvert, with an approximate membership of sixty-five. Today with its one hundred ten members, the G. A. A. has many more activities. The fall events are baseball, soccer, field hockey, badminton and varsity tennis. During the winter the girls have basketball teams and a bowling league, both of which are climaxed by the Telegraphic Tournament. They also take part in swimming, ping pong, volley ball, and shuffle board. The spring events are tennis, archery, and horseback riding. The girls choose the activities in which they wish to participate and receive points for each activity. When a set total is reached, they arc awarded letters at the annual May luncheon. Other social activities include a Play Day in the fall and spring, which is either sponsored or attended, a formal initiation, and the annual G. A. A. party. Every other year the group sponsors a gym show. With Miss Luise Piano as sponsor, and Miss Dorothy Calvert and Miss Bernice Howard as cosponsors, the G. A. A. has reached an all time high in membership. The girls have become more and more enthusiastic about their athletic events through the years. Page Seirnty-four I Q. A. A.

(Don Taylor was absent when the picture was taken.) Va iAity fyoatholl £cyua The Hilltoppers opened the 1945 grid season at Soule Bowl defeating a favored Cedar Rapids team 13 to 0. Early in the game Dick Boyle, blocked and recovered a Franklin punt on the one-footlinc. From there Benny Terronez plunged over for the season’s first touchdown. In the second half, Terronez broke loose and romped 40 yards to account for the other touchdown. The Kewanee Boilermakers handed the Hilltoppers their initial setback the following week in Kewanee, 19 to 0. Galesburg invaded Soule Bowl and, with a heavier team, overpowered East Moline 13 to 7. A pass from Coder to Knobloch accounted for the Hilltoppers’ lone score. Undefeated Rock Island came to the U. T. H. S. gridiron and chalked up a 19 to 0 victory. East Moline traveled to Clinton and met the best in the state of Iowa. With Terronez, Goumas, McNeil, and Salmonson sidelined with injuries, the Hilltoppers suffered a 40 to 0 walloping. Browning Field was packed to witness the annual East Moline- Moline clash. The Holmesmen scored early in the game on a pass from Terronez to Salmonson; however, the play was nullified by a penalty. A few minutes later Terronez scampered around right and 27 yards to score standing up. The attempted conversion was blocked. In the second half the Maroons pushed over a touchdown despite a brilliant goal line stand by the Hilltop line. The extra point was perfect and provided Moline with the margin of victory. Monmouth was host in the season’s only afternoon game. The Hilltoppers jumped to an early first quarter lead on a touchdown pass from Terronez to Knobloch but Monmouth scored a 19 to 6 upset. Homecoming saw the Hilltoppers play heavily-favored Davenport. Recovering a Davenport fumble, the Hilltoppers, sparked by the accurate passing of Goumas and the hard running by Terronez, Griffin, and Salmonson, drove deep into Davenport territory. A pass from Terronez to Griffin was good for a touchdown and East Moline led 6 to 0. Davenport came back, however, to score five times and triumph 32 to 6. In the first half Captain Ralph Knobloch was carried from the field with a broken leg. On the Northwest Conference All Star Squad the Orange placed five players. Knobloch, Terronez, and McNeil won berths on the second team, while Salmonson and Kupresin were given honorable mention. Major EM's were awarded to the following twenty-two players: L. Boyle, R.

Sojxlia+nosie tf-aatball Sc uoA The Sophs opened the season at Moline on September 15. The Orange seriously threatened the Maroon goal line but were unable to score as the teams battled to a scoreless tie. East Moline, though, scored a 7 to 0 triumph over Kewance in the rain. Don Summers ripped through the line for 12 yards and the winning touchdown. The Sophs dropped their neat clash at Galesburg 13 to 7. Summers again scored the touchdown on a plunge from the three-yard line. Then the Orange dropped a 7 to 0 heartbreaker to Rock Island, despite the fact that they once had the ball on the Crimson one-yard line. The young Hilltoppers smashed St. Ambrose 14 to 0 with Summers scoring both touchdowns. After losing to Clinton 6 to 0, and tieing Moline 7 to 7, East Moline dropped a thriller to Davenport 21 to 20. Don Summers accounted for all three Hilltop touchdowns on brilliant runs of 75, 65, and 85 yards. Sophomore letters were presented to the following: Capt.

Pugc Eighty-six Hitting a torrid 45 per cent of their shots, the Hilltoppers upset a highly touted Galesburg quint 44 to 41 as Terronez arid Goumas led the scoring with 12 and 11 points respectively. Davenport and Clinton handed the Hilltop a pair of losses, with Clinton hitting over 50 per cent of their shots. Jack Lundeen was elevated to the starting position at center. Monmouth was swamped on their home court 46 to 29 as Alice and Mcdin poured in 16 and 12 points respectively. Kewanee’s Boilermakers were victims of an upset, 48 to 42. Terronez and Medin got 11 points apiece, Allee and Goumas 10, and Lundeen the remaining 6. Hitting a frigid 18 per cent the Orange were edged by the Maroons 30 to 26, but upset a strong Freeport five the following night 43 to 25. After piling up a 18 to 3 lead, the Hilltoppers were edged by Rock Island 45 to 43. Torronez rolled in 17 points as Geneseo was trounced 49 to 38. The Orange closed the season suffering a 58 to 38 loss at Galesburg. Medin made first on the all conference team, Allee and Goumas made second team, and Terronez was given honorable mention.

The Hilltoppers entered the Regional Tournament with Terronez, Alice, Lundeen, Medin, and Goumas forming the starting quintet. After easily downing St. Joe, the Orange met Moline in the semi-finals. After trailing most of the way, the Hilltoppers rallied to down the Maroons 47 to 43. Goumas fouled out late in the game, hut DcBlieck capably filled his shoes in the final minutes. Allee “iced the game when he fired the perfect pass to Lundeen for an easy sleeper shot in the final seconds. The Orange won their second Regional Tourney in the history of the school and the first in ten years the following night by upsetting a giant Rock Island quint 36 to 34. Behind 29 to 28 going into the final period, Allee and Medin swished free throws, and Alice and Lundeen connected on field goals to put the Orange ahead 34 to 29, after which they never again were headed. Advancing to the Sectional Tourney, East Moline met Morrison, who had a record of 23 wins against 2 losses. Losing a 43 to 29 lead, the Orange found themselves trailing 45 to 44 with thirty seconds to play. Medin tied the count with a charity, and twenty seconds later Terronez swished the winning basket. Only Kewanee stood between the Orange and their first trip to Champaign. Kewanee led 13 to 3 at the quarter, Medin and Lundeen each hit on three buckets, Allee and Goumas netted one each, and Terronez added a free toss to bring the half time count to 20 to 20. Kewanee came back to gain a big lead but with the score 45 to 32 the Orange staged a final rally in the last four minutes. Blazing nine straight points through the loop, the Hilltop brought the score to 45 to 41 but the time ran out and Kewanee emerged victorious by the scant margin of four free throws. Five seniors, Goumas, Terronez, Lundeen, DeBlieck, and Knobloch, ended their prep careers with the team that came closer to winning a Sectional than any other in the history of the school. Major “EM” winners were Terronez, Allee, Lundeen, Medin, Goumas, DeBlieck, Niswander, Knobloch, Desseyn, Glassman, Sandoval, J. Dhondt, P. Dhondt, Kupresin, and Vatt.
