Francis Reed, Benore Rcdda, Gordon Wear, Gerald Wilcox. The high light of our grade school career came during the eighth grade picnic when part of us decided to explore Millville and were lost in the rain, we thought for awhile, permanently. In 1944 there were thirty two students who. having finished their grade school education, en- rolled as freshman in Warren High School. These were. Raymond Aurand, Marjorie Bar- ker, Helen Bussman, Elwyn B oege. Carol Campbell, William Daters. Glenn Ditsworth, Joyce Doubler, Natalie Fouchard, Richard Franke, Anna Hazen, Lila Hazen. Bruce Jones, Jeanette Kaiser, Robert Luy, James Mahoney, Carol Marks, Edith Martin. Herbert Mill, Georgianne Naylor, Eugene Ostrander, Francis Reed. Lenore Rodda, Mary Taft. Dixie Townsend, Gordon Wear, Charles Whalen, Mildred White. Dorothy Wickler, Gerald Wilcox. Kenneth Wolfram. Those who moved during the freshman year were Eugene Ostrander and Dixie Townsend. As Sophomores two new members joined our class: Elaine Gallagher and Merlin McKee. iElwyn' Broege went out. As Juniors we lost one member, Anna Hazen and gained one, Richard Darnill. This was the year that we put on the plaj That Crazy Smith Family , a large crowd at- tended. and the production was a great success. In our Senior year two mo e joined our class: Floyd Coad and Elizabeth Talbert. In this year we put on the play Our Hearts Were Young And Gay . We also enjoyed the reception given us by the Juniors in the high school gymnasium.

Song of angels in the house of good; the snare arid delusion of hell, whisper of passion; I breathe romance; I am the inspiration for all work and play. Though I am a balm of peace, yet on the battlefields I stir men's hea:ts and urge them on to greater deeds of valor, I dwell in the peaceful chambers of content, but I am present always in the pits of war. I lead true lovers to the altar, I muse by the cradle, I stalk by the open grave. I am the inoense upon which devout prayers raise heavenward. Know me, and I will comfort you always If my song be in your heart you will hear, my voice jn. the babble of the brook, the chant of the birds, the rustle of the leaves, and the billcws of the sea. The wind and the rain and the flowers and the dew all speak to you of me. The rumble of trie song of the mill; ah! I charge the very air Down through the ages I have walker, with men, yet none have ever fathomed me- With the prirfee and the beggar I ro3m the earth and all men love. me. For I am the spirit of the very best that is in them, and they praise and strive for the best that is within me. I am the soul of the arts.

Warren fti • €t )Ot - Football - Although our football season was not very successful, there were many thrills as there always are. Our opening game with a strong fast East Dubuque team was not for Warren. Although the Warriors tried very hard they could not stop the passing offense of the East Dubuque eleven. The final score was 18-0 in favor of East Dubuque. The second game of the season was with Aquin cf Freeport. Time and time arain, Warren tried to stop Loury Mahoney and Ralph Bader, two fast backs of the very good Aquin team� The entire game was in Aquins favor, but the Warriors didn’t give up till the final gun. Warren was defeated by the score 32-0. Our next game with Pecatonica was a different story. Sensir a passing attack Warren was ready with everything they had. Our first touchdown was ma e by Eldon Grindey. who in- tercepted a pass on our owm 45 yard line and romped the rest of the way. Ray Aurand, our very capable fullback, was responsible for our next six points. On a quick kick Pec. put Warren deep in their own territory. On the next play from scrimmage. Aurand crashed through center and ran 95 yardte for a touchdown. We won this game 13-0. — Stockton was our next opponent Yes, Stockton is our old rival, but we couldn t turn the tables. Wiih their hard running ace Orvin Swarty, and quarterback, “Doc” Everhart, Stockton coasted to an easy victory, 18-0. The next game was a heart breaker for the Warriors. On Homecoming Day we met Lanark for a very hard fought battle. Lanark, boasted of a good team but they did not expect much resistance from underated Warren After a touchdown in the first few minutes of the first quarter, the Warriors, paced Lanark for the rest of the game. On a quick kick by Bill Daters Lanark was put deep in their own territory. Shortly afterward Warren took over. Attempt af- ter attempt was made but finally Eldon Haffele went over. However, the referee claimed h:s knee touched the ground. Shortly afterward the gun ended the game, favor of Lanark 6-0. Our last game was with a very strong Galen team Warren held Galena the first half with Eldon f rindey makin? a touchdown. Score at the half 12-6, Galena. In the second half Galena ran away with the game. The final score 33-6 in favcr of Galena. Our line-up was as follows: At the ends were Lee Thomasson and Ken Meirs with Dick Dar- nill and Floyd Coad filling in as subs At the t cklcs were Marvin Lietzen and Gordon Wear with Gene Holland doing the substituting Ken Wolfram and Eldon Grindey were our guards At the center was Bud McKee with Jerry W.lcox playing when he wasn’t on the injured list In the tackfield we had Ray Aurand. at fullback Eldm Haffele at tailback and Bill Daters at wing- back and Jim Mahoney at the blocking back. Jerry Wilcox was our acting captain, but he was laid up most of the year with injuries. Doing very fine jobs of substtutin: were Gregory Holland Gene Holland.

For one thing our shooting improved steadily throughout the year. Buddy McKee was probably the most improved player at the season’s cicee. Our rebounding was better than it was the previous year, as we had Darnill, Whalen, Wear and McCoy all standing better than six feet two inches Probably the one factor that determined our season was our lack of team play.
