MUSIC ACTIVITIES Our music this year consisted of junicr and senior bands, boys’ and girls’ chorus, and various smaller musical groups. Our music activities this year have been mostly practice rather than public appearances. The high school music divi;ion took part in the entertainment cf the business men at their ban- quet. The girls’ chorus sang two numbers, and the clarinet trio played and some vocal solos were given. The department presented a spring concert which took place at the schccl auditorium Marsh 11. In this program all the music of the school was represented, all the way up from the little tots in the first grade through the high school. The program was very enjoyable Then with the close of schcol drawing near, we entered tho district contest. This year we practiced hard and came heme from the contest with very satisfactory results. The clarinet trie got first so they will go on to state. The first sextette got a second rating and the second sextette got a fourth rating. Mary Barker won second place in both her instrumental and vccal solos. Ted Balbach got a second rating in his vocal solo, and Jane McMichael got third in her vocal solo. The girls’ c'hcrus went to Polo to enter the contest for large groups. On April 26 the music department furnished a program for Woman’s Club consisting of numbers by the girls’ chcrus, a group cf folk dances from the grades, songs by two high school sextettes, vocal and instrumental soles and small ensembles. The grade school chorus also sang. The school musical groups also furnished music for baccal- aureate services and commencement.

Representing Warren in oratorical declam- ation. Priscilla Anschutz gave “Wake Up America.’ Phyllis Haf- fcle gave “The Waltz ’, in comedy reading and Joan Siedcenlag gave a cutting from Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” in the serious reading competition. Bill Ccurtright represented us in ex- temporaneous speech. Nancy Lund, in verse, read the required poem “Three Pieces on Night Over the City.” From among these Pill and Nancy ranked in third place, while Priscilla placed sec- ond. All three were eligible to go tc Rockford for the sectional meet held March 12th at East High. In the sectional contes: the three participating students won enough points to give Warren a third place rating among B class schools. Nancy Lund placed feurth in the general rating in verse reading, thus, as the competition worked out, winning the medal for second place among B schools. JUNIOR PLAY: “THE INNER WILLY” Willoughby Adams (Leland Spragle) ha; been under the cver-solicitous influence of his three maiden aunts (Eldena Kent. Barbara Craig. Georgiana Groom) for sixteen long years. He had dutifuily practiced ihe piano, swallowed gallon? of cod liver oil, eaten turnips, which he loathes, and listened tc his aunts’ argu- ments over whether he shoiild be a lawyer, musician or architect (he wants to be a geologist). Now with impish Inner Willy (Gene Holland) to help, he spurns these impositions and asserts him7elf enrueh to notice girls for the first time. Then predicamnets really begin.. Not until Willoughby satisfactorily disposes of the girl com- plications, arranges the dance details and make7 an is'ue of a career choice, dees “the pest” Inner Willv, vanish behind the sofa, leaving his suit of underwear on the floor. SENIOR PLAY When Hardy Mason (Gregory Holland) went abroad he pro- posed tc fascinating little Sari (Joan Siedschlag) but agreed that she follow him to America for their wedding. On her arrival, Sari is coldly received by Hardy’s family (Marvin Leitzen, Jane Mc- Miehael, Helen Neuenschwander). Mrs. Mason and daughter Tv ne r°gard her as a -ocial hindrance. Also, she finds a rival in Helen Re°ves-Alton (Phyllis Haffele) who, now that he is rich, regards Hardy as eligible. Hardy gees away and entrusts Sari with $50,000 and -everal blank checks—signed. Recognizing that their fortune has been a curse, she disposes of the money bv back- ing the sprvards in various enternrises. In a few days Hardy is notified that his account is overdrawn. The ending is both sur- prising and entertaining. SENIOR PLAY CAST Standing (left to right) Beverly Gavigan, Jerry Paige.

The Warriors’ inability to stop the tricky Carroll reverses in the first half resulted in their first defeat, 14-6. Tiie second game was played on the Warren gridiron with a capable eleven from Galena. Lacking the initiative to gain with- inVheir opponent’s 20 yard line, the Warriors lozt a hard fought game, 13-0. Our next encounter was with a strong East Dubuque team. Flaying a loose defensive game in the first half in which East Dubuque scored 5 touchdowns, the Warriors came back in tne second half to play the River boys on even terms. The final score was 38-0. The second home game, which wa- with Winslow, was an en- tirely different story. Scoring 2 touchdowns by an end run and a line smash in the first half, the Warriors coasted to a 22-0 victory. Because of a change in schedule the Warrior? traveled to Winslow to play the Stephenson county boys again. Winslow play- ed a more aggressive game this time, but the Warriors, with touchdowns on an end run and an intercepted pass, beat them 14-0. The last game cf the season was played with our old rivals, the Stockton Blackhawks. Warren held Stockton scoreless the first half, but the Blackhawks proved too much for them in the last half and won, 27-0. The ’48 line-uD was as follows: ends, Jim Gale and Gon Holland; tackles Marvin Leitzen and Rick McCoy; guards Bill Courtright and Greg Holland; center, Lee Thomasson; halfbacks Ken Meier and Paul Haffele: quarterback, Bob White, and full- back and captain, Eldon Haffele. Biil Zeigle, Duane Wolfram, Gene Oltoff, and Don Dawson were capable substitutes. Warren 6 Mt. Carroll 14 Warren 0 Galena 13 Warren 0 E.

Although winning only four games is not gcod, it equaled the sum of games won the two previous seasons. The lack of height was the main factor in not winning more ball games. The tallest varsity player was Dale Brinker 5’9”. There were by far more team play and scope than in past years. Seniors on this year’s quintet were Capt. Lee Thomasson, Dale Brinker, Bob White, and Eldcn Haffele. Next year’s team will probably be composed of what should be well-experienced juniors.
