They Are Tops --- The Pick of the Lot I The most impressive ceremony of the school year, and certainly the most thrilling for those who are privileged to participate, is the induction of members into the National l-lonor Society. Early in january, twenty seniors, fifteen girls and five boys, were admitted to the So- ciety. Conducting the ceremony were four Senior A's initiated last spring, they were Tom Tinsley, chairman, Lorraine Deibler, Florence Martin, and Sirkka l-lannula. january initiates were Patty Alex, l-lennie Anderson, Ralph Burnett, Anne Chaderjian, Gloria Douthitt, Esther Duncan, Elsie Fulham, Dorothy l-larris, Britta l-lellgren, Robert john, Ir., Margie Iusten, Io Anne Kirkham, Louis McCreight, Betty Meelcins, Betty Newenham, Renee Nuttall, Virginia Reed, Sam Rosen, Evelyn Syverud, and Thaddeus Wiechecki. Another group from the Senior class was initiated in May, but their names were not available for publication here. Election to the Honor Society is the greatest honor a high school student can have conferred upon him. l-le must be out- standing in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. First of all, a student must be in the upper third of his classg then he is judged on service to the school, and on points included under leadership, and character. Formerly, the students' qualifications were judged by the faculty, but this year a new system was introduced, whereby class- mates also have the privilege of passing judgment on those who are scholastically qualified for membership. The combined result of faculty and student ballot now deter- mines the members of the National Honor Society. Scene from impressive induction ceremonies FQ' .

Elizabeth Gilbert wields president's gavel with cr smile. YOUR classes have proper passes. Then there are those occasional dreaded crimson tags on the lockers, it is mute evidence that a Student Council hall monitor has been on the job. The Student Council, under the direction of Miss Marjorie Witham and Mr. Robert Nickel, faculty sponsors, is the governing body of the high school. Elizabeth Gilbert, president, Ann Link, secretary, Betty Meekins, vice-presidentg and Dean Dalton, treasurer, were this years officers. ln charge of one of the most important activities of the organiza- tion, the hall monitorial system, was Patty Alex. To provide the students with more and better assembly programs, the Student Coune cil sponsored its annual fall paper campaign early in the year. The proceeds from the sale of thousands of pounds of paper was thus utilized for the benefit of the entire school. A spring paper campaign, something different at W.T.l-IS., was underway in May. This campaign was held in connection with the city Clean-up Drive. Dean Dalton, successful chairman of the fall campaign, again Was in charge. LAUNCH CLEANUP DRIVE - An added emphasis on cleanliness of corridors, rooms, and school surroundings early in May could be traced directly to the Student Council clean-up campaign. The whole city held a Clean-up Drive at the same time, and Bill l-lolmquist represented the Stu- dent Council in taking charge of the schools part. A Man-on-the-Street assembly pro- gram, sponsored by Courtesy, spelled C-O-U-R-T-E-S-Y, opened the Student Coun- cils Courtesy Campaign. Bob Tornquist Was the genial master of ceremonies. At the Victory Hop, after the Morton bas- ketball game, there was an unusually large crowd . . . probably a result of another pro- ject, the Student Council dancing class. This was one of the outstanding achievements of the year in the field of new projects. lt was organized by a group of music-minded coun- cil members under the leadership of chair- man Lawana Connell. lt was for the benefit of those freshmen who Wanted to learn to dance. With the help of a group of fifteen upper classmen and accordion-music furn- ished by Martha Nierni and Dora Mears, the dancing class made great progress. Esther Rostker, assembly chairman, an- nounced what proved to be one of the most popular assembly programs of the school year, Mr. lackson and his Seeing-Eye dog, Crissy. Mr. lackson explained how a Seeing- Eye dog is trained and the steps in training a blind person to use a dog. Crissy then demonstrated some of her training: her mas- ter attempted to Walk off the stage, but Crissy stalvvartly stood in front of him.

TO DISTRICT CONFERENCE I One of the most anticipated and exciting items on the busy Student Council calender are the District and State conventions that are held every year. Waukegan Township has always been well represented at these con- ferences, in fact this past year Waukegans council was fortunate enough to have Pat BELOW: Awaiting transportation to the District Convention are: Patty Alex, Lawanna Connel.

Patty was elected at the State Convention in Peoria last year, and took over the quill and ink bottle for the State Student Body in April of 1939. The council feels it has even more to brag about in that it has another officer, Dean Dalton, at the meeting of the Northern District last fall he was elected treasurer of that body lor the school year l939-40. This years State Convention of the LA.- SC. was held at Carbondale, illinois-way down in the southern part of the state. Wau- kegan's representatives were Elizabeth Gil- bert, local president, Patty Alex, Betty Meek- ins, Nancy Doolittle, and Bob lohn. To Wind up a feverish year of Work and accomplishments, the Council had a last spree. lt was a picnic and was planned by the entertainment chairman, Lawana Connell.

ACTIVITIES ARE VARIED I The club started off its social season with a hike and Weiner roast to Hinkston Park, early in the fall, it proved just the thing for a get-acquainted meeting. One of the most novel initiations of any club was held in the Iunior Assembly by this group. Members watching this meeting practically rolled in the aisles. ln mid-winter, the Snowflake Ball proved a very appropriate dance, furnishing enter- tainment and fun for all. The chief educational activity of the group was a trip to Chicago, where they visited the offices and plant of the gigantic mail order house of Sears Roebuck 51 Co., and also the I-lorder Stationery Company. Later the seventy student excursioners were present at station W.M.A.Q., during the club matinee program. Members who went on this trip returned with many souvenirs and articles given to them by the firms visited. Business men and experts in all lines of cleri- cal and commercial work came to demon- strate their skill before the club, and give them tips to help them later in life. Although mid-year graduation depleted the ranks of the Commercial Club, the stu- dents began their drive the very first week of the new semester to build up their organ- ization. They elected Mary Lou Berg as president, Anne Galinis as vice-president, Mildred Zabukovec as secretary, and en- trusted Iohn l-leikenfeld with the duties of the treasurer. The club took up a new phase of enter- tainment the second semester of the school year and sponsored movies, not only for the members of the club, but for the whole stu- dent body. These movies starred many act- ors including Bing Crosby and Mickey Rooney. The showings were held every week in the lunior Assembly at a very reas- onable admission price. The profits made from the movies were used to purchase film strips applicable for commercial classroom use next year. COMMERCIAL CLUB ROW 1, left to right: Dorothy Martin.

The members certainly enjoy walking! The shortest hike on the schedule is the tour mile trek, a six mile hike is the average, and the longest is twelve miles. ln competing to set the fastest pace, Arvin Riley established a new club record for both the tour and tive mile time hike, making four miles in 43 minutes and ll sec- onds, and tive miles in 53 minutes tittyeseven seconds. His time by miles was l0:3l, 2l:38, 32:32, 43:57. Alladeane Iones holds the year's record for the girls' tour mile hike, l-ler time was 52-49, which is two minutes short of the club record. During the year the club enjoyed a gala party, the biggest event ol their year. No, the postman may take a walk on his holiday, but not so the Waukegan hikers. They staged a dainty hop instead. The purpose ot the club is to promote walking as a hobby, both tor the healthful exercise which it affords and for good fellow- ship. Mary Lou Berg was the president of the club, and Alladeane Iones was the secretary. Al Grosche sponsors this active group. At a time when most ot us are either too busy or too lazy to travel even a few blocks without the aid of some artificial means ot locomotion, an organization like the W.T.H.S. Hikers is indeed a boon. lt this group can do anything towards revitalizing, preserving, and popularizing the almost lost art ot walk- ing, then it may someday be heralded as one of the most worthwhile ot the many high school activities. 500 MILE HIKERS ROXV 1. left to right: Bill Grosche, Audrey Heikenfeld, Irynn: Kroustrup.

I And with a babble of French, Le Cercle Francais begins its meetings, which are held every second Tuesday ot the month. The pur- pose of the club is to give French students a better understanding of the French customs and culture. lt adds an interest to the class- room work, and makes the students feel a closer relationship with their French triends. At the beginning of the year, Miss Weiss secures from the foreign correspondent bur- eau, a list of names and addresses of French boys and girls in the French-speaking coun- tries. This gives our students a chance to improve their French and also to understand conditions in France. This year has been particularly interesting for the correspon- dences because ot the war conditions in Europe. At the monthly meetings, a chorus of girls composed of Ruth Ellen Chittenden, Katherine l-louser, Carolyn McKean, Frances Matijevich, and Katherine Matijevich, Was lead by Betty Meekins in numerous French songs. Lorraine Deibler and Florence Martin accompanied the singers the tirst semester, and Frances Smith, the second. The outstanding meeting ol the year Was the Christmas program at which Lorraine Nordberg gave an interesting discussion on Christmas and New Year customs in France. lack Voelpel presented a talk on French Christmas cards. Carolyn McKean sang Cantique de Noel. Chez La Modestef' a French skit, writ- ten by some of the students With the help of Miss Weiss, was presented early the second semester, Charlotte Mix, was a young Par- isian girl who lost her hat in a Wind storm, and had to go and buy another one. Kath- erine Matijevich Was Charlotte's friend, and Sirkka Hannula was the clerk in a smart hat shop. The club, under the able direction ot Miss Frances Weiss, selected as their officers for the first and second semesters respective- ly: Florence Martin, and Betty Meekins, presi- dent, lo Anne Kirkham and Esther Ohanian, vice-president, Doris Curlee and Katherine l-louser, secretary, Edward Goodbout and Nancy Tinsley, treasurer. lt is the tradition ot the club to close each meeting by singing the French national an- them, La Marseillaise. lU4 Die Deutsche I Members attending the German Club meetings enjoy games, songs, riddles and poems, all in German, to acquaint them with the customs of the German people. Die Deutsche Gesellschaft is a compara- tively young organization because of the fact that the study of German was banned in most American schools during the World War and the club was just refounded in 1938. At Christmas time, a play was given in German. Those who took part were: Rheinholder Schmidt, Albin Leicht, Leonard Gordon, Arthur Lokkins, Iordan Hillman, and Iune Luzar. The club looked forward with much an- ticipation to a movie of the Rhine country, with Mrs. McLean telling of her trip down the Gesellschaft --- Rhine. lt proved highly educational as Well as interesting. Officers of the club were: Lorraine Deib- ler, president, Iames Haake, vice-president, Edward Bunk, secretary-treasurer, and Britta l-lellgren, program chairman. Miss Bess Dady is sponsor of the club. At other meetings German test games were played. lt is all fun, yet the student learns new words and stories. The meetings are all carried on by the students. Miss Dady gives her assistance only when needed. The majority of the club membership are from among those enrolled in the two year course in German offered as a regular part of the foreign language course. GERMAN CLUB.

There's or Bevy of Iolly Girls I its Thursday night! lt's Thursday night! lt's time for us to meet. The clubroom rings with the merry voices ot the Girls' League, singing their club song. On meeting nights, dozens of scampering feet rush gaily down the steps to the Clube room. Their owners settle cozily on davenf ports, window seats, and easy chairs to await fun and business. Betty Newenham was pres- ident, Ruth Makela, vicefpresident, Charlotte Mix, secretary, Gloria Douthitt, treasurer, and Lois Anderson, council chairman.

Preparing to Solve Bigger Problems I What tun the Girl Reserves have when they meet every other Monday at the Y.W.- C.A. clubhouse atter school! This fine organ- ization, which is under the able sponsorship of Mrs. A. C. Gartley and Mrs. A. Stapleton, promotes friendship among the girls, and helps to give them a better understanding of the many problems which face them. ln the club code, the girls uphold character, court- esy, poise, dependability, leadership, and sin- cerity as their ideals. At the beginning of the year the club elected as their president, Pat Alex, With An- gela Milos, vice-president, Doris Peterson, secretary, Dorothy Bettis, treasurer, and Doris Curlee, publicity chairman. Formerly, this group was divided into two groups, the senior group composed of high school juniors and seniors, and the jun- ior group made up of freshmen and sopho- mores. decided to combine into one club. The girls are always willing to help out at any function given in connection with the such as serving at banquets, selling can- dy, or tickets. They always have excellent meetings furnished either by members of the club or from some outside source. Some of this year's excellent programs were: Mrs. l-logevolls book review, A Portrait of Ienny, a musical and literary program presented by two of the club members, Lorraine Deibler and Florence Martin, and the talks on Victor- ious Women which were given in connection with the one standard of the code Victorious Over Sell. The Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y club held a joint meeting in April which proved to be a great success. They discussed dates, and what they expect of a date. After the discus- sion, they danced and enjoyed refreshments. However, this year the two clubs 108 Dedicated to Building Christian Character I Each Monday night throughout the school year a group of boys meet at the Y.- MCA. for fun and business. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Gilmore of the Y.M.C.A., and Mr. Schoenoff and Mr. Van Deusen of the high school, the Hi-Y maintains its high standard of conduct throughout both the school and community life. Officers were elected at the beginning of each semester. They were, for the respective semesters, Tom Tinsley and Nick Goldschmidt, president, Bob Iohn, twice vice-presidentg Russell Woertz and Kenneth Kellner, secre- tary, George Dietmeyer and Ben Donaldson, treasurer. At the State Hi-Y Conference of l939, Tom Tinsley, the local president, was elected president for the state group. Twelve mem- bers from the local chapter attended the con- ference. The club held its twenty-fifth annual Father and Son Banquet at the high school cafeteria in February. This event was the largest activity of their social year, Other highlights on the club's calender were a dance at the high school, a splash party at the Y.M.C.A. pool, two hayrides, and a din- ner for new members. The club collaborated with the Girl Be- serves on April 22 for the first joint meeting of the two clubs. Mr. Van Dausen was the guest speaker for the evening. l-ie gave his views on dating and problems concerning girls and boys. Then the meeting was opened for a general discussion by the members oi the group, and different opinions were voiced. Refreshments and dancing were enjoyed by members of the clubs following the business. This meeting proved such a success that it was decided that another joint meeting should be held. The annual spring picnic will wind up the year's activities. THE HI-Y CLUB ROW 1, left to right: Edward Goodbout, Ken Kellner, Russel Woertz, Bob john, Tom Tinsley, Norman Schwartz.

Scene from ASSEMBLY PROGRAM: Anita Perry, Mr. Hurd, Mrs. McFarlin, Pruth McFarlin. History Club the Most Popular in School - Under the able direction of Roy C. Hurd, the l-listory club has earned the distinction of being the largest and most active club in school. Officers for the first semester were: Anita Perry, president, Eddie Goodbout, vice- president, Virginia Reed, secretary, Ken Kell- ner, treasurer, loAnne Kirkham, historiang and Tom Tinsley, sergeant-at-arms. Credit is due Pat Alex for providing the all-around, good-time meetings that took place while she held the program chairman position. For the second semester the organization chose Mackie Beeman, president, Nancy Doo- little, vice-president, loAnne Kirkham, secre- tary, Dick Turner, treasurer, Marjorie Harris, historian, lack Pettee, sergeant-at-arms, and Carolyn Mcliean, program chairman. Early in October, practically the entire membership piled into bulging buses and were soon rolling merrily on their way to the great city of Chicago for the semesters first jaunt. A ticklish task, indeed, befell these sturdy travelers when they had to choose be- tween visiting either the Stevens hotel or the Board of Trade building. For lunch, the divided groups met at the Stevens Coffee llU Shop where they amazed the waiters with their ravenous appetites. ln the afternoon, this dauntless excursion group took in the thrilling Northwestern-Wis consin football game. lThey claim that with their lusty Waukegan lungs, they out-yelled every one. This isn't hard to believe if one thinks of the humdrum that must be hushed at every assembly programj Although tired, and it was a pleasant weariness, the excur- sioners agreed that a nice time was had by all when they arrived home again early in the evening. General chairman of this out- ing was Roger Edwards. Committee .chair- men were as follows: badges, Roland Mc- Minn and Betty Hansen, reservations, Fred leffersong Walter Hoff planned the itinerary of this successful pilgrimage. Louise Perrine was chairman of the fes- tive mid-semester dance, the Harvest Moon hop. Decorations were built around a large yellow moon that smiled down on the waltz- ers as the jack-o-lanterns lead them into the gaily decorated gymnasium. The Ambassa- dors, who played for the corn-stalkers, were surrounded by scarecrows and mammoth Passing Glimpses From History Club's Activities 1. Us on a Bus 2.

Committee chairmen were: Betty Petti- clair, tickets, Loretta Nellans, decorations: Dorothy Winters, publicity, Ethel Bensen, music, and Lorraine Diebler, chairman of the chaperones committee. ll SPONSOR PRUTH MCFARLIN - For the Christmas program the club in- vited Pruth Mcljarlin, a colored tenor from Piney VVoods school in Mississippi, to give his renditions of favorite songs. Mr. Mclvarlin was so well received that he was invited to return in May for another appearance. Instead of the annual breakfast hike, this spring the club forgot tradition and trudged their way to the Bowen country club for a supper hike! After filling that cavern located below the lungs, with all kinds of goodies from hot dogs to hot chocolate, these ramb- lers, daring the sharp breezes, danced at the club house. What could have been more appropriate than a Pan-American theme for the twelfth annual banquet! Under the chairmanship of Florence Martin, the theme was carried out to perfection with gay serapes and som- breros, colorful posters, maps, pamphlets, offi- cial letters, and even products from our South American neighbors in the form of mangan- ese, tonka beans, tapioca, graphite, coffee, and many more. Interest for the evening was woven about the imaginary tour which left Chicago on a Clipper plane, went over New Orleans, fol- lowed the east coast of South America to Montevideo, then over to Santiago. The re- turn trip was up the west coast, through Cen- tral America, to Los Angeles, and home. Anita Perry introduced several distin- guished out-of-town guests, including the Argentian consul of Chicago, Senor Alfredo I. Ambrosini, accompanied by Senor Miguel G. Calderon, Mexican Consul-General in Chi- cago, and Mrs. Harriet Shanks Platt, president of the Pan-AmericanCouncil in Chicago. After the dinner in the cafeteria, over which toast- master Norman Schwartz presided, all guests went to the Iunior assembly where a movie, Flying Down to Rio, was shown as a fea- ture of an interesting program. Mrs. Platt enthralled the audience with an interesting account of some of her Latin American experiences. Last on the program was the dancing to popular strains in lr. 330. I-lennie Anderson was chairman of the corres- pondence committeeg chairman of the enter- tainment was Nancy Doolittle. Other commit- tees were Marian Elsbury, favors, Norman Schwartz, decorations, Vieno Sompii, invita- tionsg lack Van Sickle, programg and last, but far from least, Rose Yellen's menu committee. RIGHT THIS WAY - On March 9, and again on March 23, tho club sponsored a refreshment stand in the lunior building lower corridors, selling hot dogs, hamburgers, and pop for benefit of the band. lean Cannon had charge of this under- taking when the district band contest was held at Waukegan on the two dates men- tioned above. Step down! was the familiar phrase heard during the week of March 29th, for at Iudge Beecher Gavels Night Court, contes- tants presented their cases and were tried for the Amateur Nite Prizes. Louis Molback, the chattering cartoonist, won first prize in the dramatic entrees with his sketchy line, and Lorraine Dunn won first prize in the Musical section when she tripped lightly up and down the scales in a light opera aria. Charlotte Mix, general chairman of this super-colossal event, had as helping committee chairmen, Billy I-lolmquist, program, Roland Mclvlinn, tickets, Virginia Reed, publicity, Suzanne lohnson, make-up, Pearl Stewart, judges, and Bob Tornquist, head of the stage crew. As a decorative note, girl ushers directed traffic while garbed in authentic policeman uni- forms. It was truly a whizz of a production! An assembly program was sponsored jointly by the History and Spanish clubs in the latter part of April. Miss ludith Lopez Diaz, born in Porto Rico and now a student of the Chicago Normal School, did the real thing when she offered two Spanish dances as her part in the program. Nancy Doolittle, chairman of this Pan American Day assembly, introduced the program with a short talk on the origin of this day. Committees worked diligently when they planned for the last two activities of the sem- ester, the spring trip and the spring dance. Gorial Douthitt, chairman of the trip, planned a rollicking itinerary and Lois Anderson, not to be outdone, swung the dance with all the vim and vigor that it takes!

Do you remember the Blue Danube dance with every other number a waltz? That was sponsored by this spirited club. General chairman for this affair was Dorothy Yum- plot, Cn Saturday, December 2, the members took their Chicago trip. Leaving at 7:30, their first stop was the Chicago Board of Trade where they heard a lecture and watched the opening of the market from the visitors' gal- lery. They then went to the Civic Cpera f-louse where they saw a movie, The Story of Light, in the Lighting Institute on the thirty-second floor. A tour of the Stevens Hotel, which came next, was followed by a visit to the Field Museum and the Art Institute, An outstanding event of each semester is the initiation of new members. The pro- grams are always remembered because of the impressive as well as humorous incidents which transpire. Some of the initiates were :ent on a scavenger hunt, and returned with mustard and ketchup on a finger, hairnets, playing cards, a license plate, Miss Dady's signature, and many articles seldom seen in W.T,l-LS. At the close of this meeting new and old members enjoyed taffy apples.

So goes an old proverb. Perhaps that explains in part Why so many W.T.l-LS. girls are learning to cook! One of the outstanding events of the l-lome Economics club during the year was the fruit cake sale the girls gave to raise funds tor an assembly sponsored by the group. Mildred Gibbs and Lois Broemel- kamp received prizes as the star salesgirls. The assembly which was given on November l7, l939, was a very enjoyable one. Miss Sylvia Ann Iohnson gave a skit ot Mary Todd Lincoln's lite. She also gave two other amusing readings. Alter a district rally at Argo, lllinois, two girls were sent to the State club meeting in Chicago. They were Lillian Potochnik and Gloria Villalvaso. The purpose of the club, which flourishes under the direction ot Miss Lucille Webb, is to give high school girls an opportunity to lze ot service to the school and to interest girls in Home Economics as a unit ot study anil as an ultimate career. The girls serve at the dil- terent banquets and teas given at school. In this Way they learn the correct Way ot serv- ing. Otticers of the club are: Lillian Potochnik, presidentg Lois Broemelkamp, vice-president Willemina Boland, secretaryetreasurer. A Mother-and-Daughter tea is given each year in honor of Mother's Day. Interesting programs are arranged for the enjoyment of the Mothers, and refreshments are attractively served. 116 Promoting International Good Will I Whenever there is an emergency, the Red Cross is right there to offer aid. The pur- pose of the junior organization is to develop a spirit of helpfulness toward others, and to promote international goodwill. Under the guidance of their efficient sponsor, Miss Vera Ierg, the members have gone far in carrying out these ideals. Each year the high school chapter makes up bountiful Christmas baskets for the needy. This project is the largest of those undertaken by the club and it requires long hours of tedious, although interesting, work. Much credit is due Gladys 1-langebrauck, Marjorie Harris, Britta 1-lelgren, Madeline Mackey, and Carol Vlack for the successful campaign which they planned and carried out with such Wonderful results this past year. Toys, clothing, groceries were all packed and piled in colorful heaps. From all the disorder, bustle, and chaos, articles were sorted, counted, checked off, packed, and delivered. And it was fun! Two dances, the Turkey Strut , and the 1rish fig , were sponsored during the semes- ter. Proceeds from the Turkey Strut were used for the Christmas basket fund While the profit from the lrish fig was used to send delegates to the National Red Cross conven- tion at Washington, D. C. A scrapbook kept for the purpose of the international exchange to promote the feeling of good fellowship and a better international understanding, was kept throughout the year. Barbara Iames, Patsy Oetjen, Laurell Piper, and Tom Tinsley were responsible for the compiling of this book. The last scrap book was sent to Pangasinan Secondary School in Lingayen, Pangasinan, Philippine lslands. ln the past books have also been sent to South Africa and Czechoslovakia. ln the spring of 1939 the delegates chosen to represent Waukegan high school chapter at the National Convention in Washington D. C. were Wayne Hansen, Dorothy Harris, Dorothy Luce, and Tom Tinsley. Donald Carl- son, Astere Claeyssens, Barbara lames, Mad- eline Mackey, Pat Oetjen, and Laurel Piper made the trip in May, 1949. Don Carlson had the honor of being one of the speakers at the convention.

Try to concentrate a little more on the eye-appeal, Mr. C. H. Tickling, the sponsor of the Poster Club, directs the students in their efforts to portray student life. The purpose of the club is to serve as the advertisers for school organ- irzations by making posters. This year the club served the school in an added capacity. lt was responsible for installing a new lunior building bulletin board by encasing the old one in glass. Credit goes to Mr. Morstadt for helping to plan and erect the board. The Artists' and Models' ball brought the would-be-painters out in full force to dance in costume. The theme of the dance Was a Pirate Iarnboree. Captain Kidd appeared in person and the object was to guess who the impersonator Was. Albert Detogni was the swash-buckling pirate chief. The Christmas party, Weiner roast, and the picnic at the end of the year were among the other successful activities. The students enjoyed the bi-monthly pro- grams at which different local artists spoke each time. Officers of the club were Esther Duncan, president, Norborn Ernerick, vice-president, Hazel Iester, secretary, first semester, and Rosalie Levin, second semester, and Hannah Leise, treasurer. Virginia Reed was the publicity chairman. POSTER CLUB ROXV 1, left to right: Stanley Durka, Madeleine Mackey, Rosalie Levin, Tom O'Grady, Virginia Reed, Anne Blazevich. ROXV Z: Don Long.

A number of trips were taken by the club members during the first semester. First on the list was a trip to VVAY, the ship-to-shore station at Lake Bluti. Then followed trips to the ham shocks ot WQDWQ, WQNWY, W9- GDV, and finally WQEDC. Fi tfansititter was constructed during the first semester, a receiver was purchased and finally the oflicers erected an ante iii. on t , root ol the junior building.

Serving the organization the second sem- ester in these respective offices were George Smith, Leonard Koziol, Tony Zidank, Stan Chwiedziewicz, and Tony Koncilja. Under the able sponsorship of Mr. lames, the club was able to progress rapidly during the past year. 120 Battling with Words and Ideas I Waukegan Township high school's de- bate teams went to bat this year on the old question, Resolved: That the Federal Gov- ernment should own and operate the rail- roads , a question just as vital now as it was thirty years ago when first taken up. Debates were scheduled with New Trier high school, Grant, Maine, and Kenosha. This is the sixteenth consecutive year that Mr. Sandvens teams have debated with New Trier and Maine high school teams, Waukegan's affirmative debaters this year were Mary Ann Miletich and Sam Rosen, Negative speakers were Madeline Mackey and Iordan Hillman. Alternates for both teams were Stanley Durka, Esther Ohanian, Iames l-laake, and Esther Rostker. Some debates are known as Hdecisionu contests in which critic judges make analyses of the cases presented by both teams, Other debates are termed non-decision' depend- ing upon the wishes of the visiting teams, Mr. Sandven, the debate coach, en- courages the freshmen to try out for the teams, because as he emphasizes, it usually takes three or four years to work up winning debating ability. The debate question for the following year is selected in May in order that team members may work on it during the summer vacation.

Three weeks earlier, Senior assembly had been in a hub-bub as students crowded to the polls to vote for their favorite candidates. At 8103 o'clock these student officials, together with the many appointed office hold- ers appeared on the scene. City clerk, Frank Wallin, administered the oath of office to George Dietmeyer, who in turn swore in the other officials. Mayor Talcott wished the students good luck, and the day began, Typing, slaving over books, and inspect- ing governmental departments let up at noon when the hard working city officials took time out to eat. A banquet was held in the sky room of the Karcher Hotel. Corporation council, Norman Schwartz, introduced the Mayor , ln his after-dinner speech, Whitie stated: l have learned a lot about the duties of mayor, but the hardest duty is making speeches. ln the evening, the students took charge of the council meeting.

With a rousing blare of music, the band strikes up the school song! The crowd is on its feet, enthusiastically, they sing the school song! The atmosphere is tense, the excitement is high, the stirring music thrills the spectators, they are again ready to spur their team on to victory! Une of the indispensible services of the band is to play for basketball and football games. lt is a service that every student knows. Without the cheering music before game time and at the half, the school spirit would fall flat. Since the city of Waukegan has no uni- formed band of its own, our high school band has upheld the musical reputation of the city in any number of parades throughout the year. Outside of the city, our band has been winning a name for itself, lt Won its first state contest last year at LaSalle, qualifying it to attend the national contest at Indiana- polis, Indiana, Where Waukegan made a grand showing. Soloists who placed first were Henry Saam, alto saxophoneg Ed Shul- tis, baritone saxophoneg William Bergling, cornetg William Rose, baritone saxophone, and Eric ldstrom, baritone, placed second. Several ensembles also did well. The saxophone sextet placed first. The members of this group were Henry Saam, Delose Tschabold, Harry Wilson, alto saxesg George Watson, tenor sax, William Rose and Ed Shultis, baritone sax, The brass quartet also placed first with William Bergling and Charles Dalton, playing the cornet, Eric ld- strom, baritone, and Ray Laine, trombone. The new year of l94U saw the band mak- ing twenty-three entries in the district solo contest and three entries in the ensemble con- test. 126 BAND OFFICERS Lefr to right: james Dunnu, lihrarian: Stig Carlson. suc- retary: Henry Snam. presi- dent: John Hermansen. vice president, student conductor: Richard Faller,lil:1rari.1n: Richard jenkinson. drum major: Eric ldstrom, student conductor: Louis NlcCreight, treasurer.

This fall program was Very well received. Soloists were Henry Saam, Eric ldstrom, and lim Butler. lt happened at midnight, April 26th! What happened?

Our own soloists were Richard Shultis and Henry Saam. There were four guest con- ductors, Mr. Tallmadge, Mr. Madden, Mr. Finch, and Mr. Harding. The gym was pack- ed not only to hear the home town boys, but also to see the guest artists from other schools. Daniel Cobb of Highland Park, sang, Charlotte Sifert, national champion on the marimba, played, and Robert Abbot, national champion, twirled a baton. Quite a picture was made when the lights were dimmed and only the lighted baton could be seen making a whirling design against the blackness. The Haunted House was the hit of the program. lt concerned the town cut-up, who accepted a wager to spend a night in the Haunted House. launtily, he proceeded on his way, merrily whistling. He entered the house at the stroke of twelve, at first everything was serene, then came a diabolical screech, fiendish laughter, doors slammed, and sepulchral groans were heard. Pursued by this unholy horde, he jumped through a window, and with a shattering of glass and applause, the number ended, Officers of the band were Henry Saam, president, lohn Hermansen, vice-president, Stig Carlson, secretary, Louis McCreight, treasurer. Student conductors were Eric ldstrom and lohn Hermansen, librarians, Richard Faller and lames Dunneg drum majors, Richard lenkinson and Fred Williams.

N Although they constitute a very small group in comparison to either the Iunior or the Senior Band, the high school orchestra is indispensable to many of the activities of the high school. Playing at the Pan-American assembly, they provided Spanish melodies suited to the occasion. Their orchestral strains are heard at Commencement exercises, Baccalaureate and Class Night. The members of National Honor Society march in to their accompani- ment. Every day the group can be found in the band room studying the techniques of varie ous instruments, phrasing, and balance. The results they attain are remarkable, The orchestra plays for school organi- zations, and no play is put on Without their help to entertain between acts During the year, the orchestra entertained the Woman's Club and various other civic groups in the city. Officers were lohn Hermansen, president, Richard Faller, vice-president, Estelle Heilio, secretary. Alf Christiansen and Victor Gra- ham Were the librarians. Otto E.

Music Contributes Toward a Full Life I The purpose of the music department is to acquaint the student with the good music of the world, and through knowledge and participation in concerts and musical-drama- tic performances to gain poise and control of his mental and physical faculties in presence of others. The various organizations that contribute toward these achievements are the Chorus, boys' Glee Club, girls' Glee Club, A Caoella Choir, and Voice Class. The enrollment in Chorus usually numbers one hundred and it is open to all students who desire to learn to ACCOMPANISTS LEFT TO RIGHT: Gertrude Griffin Bett Simmond Flor- - Y 5, ence Martin. Lawana Connell. sing. lts chief function is to teach the student the fundamentals of correct singing and to learn to be an ensemble singer. Boys' Glee Club likewise is open to all boys interested in singing. lts work is similar to that of the Chorus. Girls Glee Club is a selective group and they in turn work toward an extensive and perfected repertoire. A Cappella Choir is the goal of all students of Choral Art, for this organization has the privilege of singing the greatest music of all vocal art. Voice class is restricted to only a few students. ln this class the student learns the principles of voice production and the art of solo singing. The Music Department of the Waukegan high school has contributed to the community abundantly. The past year the Choral Music Department gave forty-seven programs. Each year the music department provides the music for the following school functionsi Thanksgiving Assembly, ChristmasAssembly, Easter Assembly, Baccalaureate Services, Class Nights, and Commencement Exercises. Three major projects are included in their activities. A CAPPELLA CHOIR l The purpose of the A Cappella Choir is to sing the greatest music in choral art. ln the Marriage of Nannette , Betty Faassen, Nancy Blair, Pat Alex, Laura Van Pelt, Richard Greene, Mackie Beeman, Stan- ley Gamble and Walter Henderson all did ex- cellent work in outstanding roles. l32 MIXED OCTETTE AT KEYBOARD: Richard Greene.

OCTETTE IS SELECTIVE I This group has a rather standardized group oi selections, and is the largest in the Ensernble group. Membership in the Octette gives individual singers a bit more intensive training in their voice control. BOYS HAVE GLEE CLUB i This class receives more intensive Voice training than any other choral group. To have strong muscles, one must use them con- tinually. That is Why daily singing during adolescence makes tor a well-developed mature voice. BOYS' GLEE CLUB ROXV 1: left to right: Harold Hansen. Kenneth Baskin, lVarre:1 Houghton. Edwin Nelson.

The chorus is taught to use the singing voice correctly. Singers experiment in en- semble singing and voice blending. There are about one hundred members in this, the largest of the choral groups. lt singers progress, they are promoted to the Girls Glee Club. The chorus learns a very extensive repertoire so that members may learn to read music proficiently. GIRLS' TRIO I The girls in this group are all sopho- mores. Plans are being made to keep them together throughout high school. Ensemble groups such as the above, and others such as mixed octette, boy's quartet, were formed so that they might represent the entire choral department before civic functions on different occasions. These small groups require less time to prepare a pro- gram, and less space in Which to present a program. 136 ANNUAL MUSIC REVUE Do You Remember? l. Follies of 1920- A.

Dramatics Contributes to Personal Growth I Development of appreciation and taste in dramatic literature, the acting and produc- ing of plays, and the development of the in- dividuality of the student, may all be given as purposes for dramatics in high school. Seventeen , a three-act play presented by the Dramatics department, was the first production coached by Miss Doris Dixson, new dramatics instructor. Highly successful, it played to a packed house. November lO, l939, was the date set for the exposal of Willie Baxterfs trials and tribu- lations. Robert Durst was the capable leading man. l-lis affection, resting upon Lola Pratt, was the cause of much hilarity. Lola, Esther NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH . 2. Anita.

From then on, our hero is in agony, especially since the money he bet be- longed to his fiancee, Gwendolyn Ralston, played by Anita Perry, who had given him the money to double on a sure thing, Mr. Ralston, Dick Donnelly, and Clarence Van Dusen, those on the receiving end oi the bet, make it exceedingly hot tor him. These parts were taken by Russel Woertz, Kenneth Kuehl, and Norman Schwartz, respectively. Such questions as, ul-low do you like Ethe-l's singing? schemingly are put to Bob, and when the answer is Terrible! , Grace Larsen, who plays Ethel Clark, promptly bursts into tears. Further complications arise when chorus girls, Mabel and Sable, Louise Perrine and Alice Margoian, appear on the scene. Then it is that Mr. Ralston is sorry he ever made the bet, when Florence Martin, as Mrs. Ralston, demands to know it her husband knows these actresses, Bob tells the truth. Todd Green as Bishop Doran, presents an added bit ot comedy when he is swindled in buying some worthless stock and bewails his loss so loudly that he gets it back. Annie Chaderjian is the maid.

That was the problem which Ernes- tine Dickinson, as Anita Merideth, faced in the Tune Senior Play. With the help of her sister Diana, played by Pat Alex, and sarcas- tic Bob Iohn, as Tyler Rankin, they devise an Uncle William who is supposed to have left her the money, and The Ghost Flies South comes to life. Emma Belle Pierce, as Granny presents another problem. William, William who? she demands when told that her son has died in the West. But, with her ever failing mem- ory, she is convinced she had a son William Bantry and hauls out picture albums and the family Bible to identify him. One minute she remembers William perfectly and the next has forgotten all about him. Eldene Loftus in the role of Cordelia, the colored maid, admits Lawyer Homer Reed, better known as Sam Rosen, and his jealous and tempermental wife, Ruth Schiff on the scene, who help to establish the bona tide of the story. However, serious-minded Morgan Winthrop and his mother, played by Nick Goldschmidt and Charlotte Mix, are not so easily taken in, Trying to teach Anita a les- son they introduce Buck Hollis and Chaguita Bantry, the partner and sguaw of William. These parts are played by Kermit Kramer and Betty Meekins. The story winds up to a swift and surprising conclusion marking the end of Uncle William, the Senior Play, and the last activity of the school year as The Ghost Flies South.

It' All ' th M k' f A I - With a Let 'er roll and a rumble of Seniors presses the l94O Annual 'W' goes to press. After scuffing through the pages of the year book, the saddle shoes of the staff are thor- oughly worn and scarred. But they have afforded many hours of enjoyment- and worry, too. The editorial staff met with Mr. Meslow in lunior 147 every morning. With a yen to do something different, the group first sought a suitable theme for the l94O book. Carol Bidinger, Doris Curlee, Eldene Loftus, and Charlotte Mix, veterans of the l939 staff, as- p necessary to get the sumed the leadershi work under way. Weeks of patient search, Cf brainstorm and it was decided th t th , a e era of saddle shoes be recorded between twc covers. Another task that faced the staff was the subscription campaign. Following a spirited drive, Eldene was soon busy tabulating the results of the homeroom contest. 'llold it! came next. Doris had scheds uled a bu sy two weeks for taking pictures of individuals, classes and organizations. Weeks afterwards Carol, Bob lohn, and Anita Lewis were still busy recording names and identi- fying pictures, will remember the questionnaires that had to be filled, and well do the typists remember too, they had to copy them. The task of write-ups fell mainly upon lo Anne Kirkham and Charlotte Mix. Up until the very deadline they were busy writing and re-writ- ing the thousands of words necessary to des- cribe the varied activities of the many organizations. ANNUAL ARTISTS IN IUNIOR IU1 Careful, Jeanette, dnn't Maas it up! Front row: Jeanette Maas, Mary Carrico Back row: Laurel Piper, Irene Flanjaik. Elsie Darmstadt 142 - Division pages and other art work had to be planned and executed. Many ideas were obtained at the N.S.P.A. convention in Chicago, and soon Miss Frances l-ligley was busy supervising the efforts of her staff of artists, among whom were: Mackie Beernan, Ann Blazevich, Don Blessing, Mary Carrico, Elsie Darmstadt, Esther Duncan, Irene Flan- jaik, leanette Maas, Vera Mitchell, Edward Novak, Torn O'Grady, Carolyn Perry, Laurel Piper, Al Podobnick, Virginia Reed, Marion Soderquist, Edward Tomkovich, Laura Van- Pelt, Bill Zupkus. When most of the years sports contests were over, lohn lerusis recorded the results for the sports section, while Mary Dudley con- tributed the material to complete the section on girls' sports. Among other students not regularly enrolled on the staff who contribu- ted directly in making the li-340 yearbook were: Lorraine Deibler and Marjorie Harris, write-ups, Tom Tinsley, pictures, and lanet Gerlich, Virginia DeVolk, and Mary Hogan, typing. New to the work of publishing an annual were Rosalie Levin and Esther Rost- ker who joined the staff second semester. Financing a yearbook is in itself a task. The budgeting must be carefully done or there would be no Annual. Ads must be sold. Directed by Mr. Schoenoff, Patty Alex, Ernestine Dickinson, Frank Palmer and Nor- man Schwartz took care of the advertise- ments. Slowly but surely the dummy specifica- tions were being fulfilled. Arduously, those last days, and nights, too, of tiring work passed. The day came, the staff breathed a sigh of relief as the last copy went to press. With bated breath they await the outcome.

They Publish the Weekly World I With a gradual build-up from Monday morning through Thursday, the work of the World Staff reaches a weekly climax as the issue goes to press and is ready for dis- tribution before classes begin on Friday morning. This done, it is time to plan for the following week's issue. Publishing the school's official news- paper each week affords an opportunity to every aspiring young journalist. There is not a dull moment in an entire semester for those who meet the challenge. Members of the advanced class in lourn- alism bear the responsibility of publishing the weekly newspaper. They receive consider- able assistance from the students in the be- ginning classes who serve as cub reporters. Assigning stories, covering beats, sched- uling and making interviews, writing and re- writing articles, copyreading, recording, proofreading, writing headlines, planning and building dummy pages, checking and double checking-it's all in the day's routine for members of the World staff. I In addition to the editorial work, there is selling of advertising space, and subscrip- tions, the keeping of records, maintaining ex- change lists, and distributing the copies of the weekly issue to student subscribers. Averaging more than six pages per issue, the World provided more reading mat- ter this past year than ever before. Weekly news pictures were introduced with the be- ginning of the second semester and it proved a decided asset to reader interest. The pic- tures were scheduled and taken by World staff photographers. Several staff delegates represented the World at the annual convention of the National Scholastic Press Association held at the Stevens Hotel in Chicago in November. The Hobo Rally, sponsored by the staff and held at the close of the first semester, has become a traditional affair eagerly antic- ipated by the entire school. A staff picnic held jointly with the Annual staff, makes for a pleasant finale to a busy year. 144 lt's Friday morning and the W World must be delivered by 8:30.

Besides being head of the athletic department, Mr. Brown is also in charge of physical education and is varsity basketball coach. When in the fall of l923 Mr. Brown came to Waukegan to take charge of the athletic department, the school was not as large as it is today. Year after year Mr. Brown has seen the school progress in size and in ath- letic prowess. A new gymnasium sprang up during his stay, and it is one of the finest in the state. A mere handful of boys competed in sports in those days, but now Mr. Brown has charge of 800 athletes. Coaching BOO boys is not a one-man job Under Mr. Browns supervision is a coaching staff composed of:- Heavyweight football: Mark Wilson and lohn Morley, frosh-soph football: Leo Singer and Herbert Canine, freshman football: Steve Drew and George Hughes, cross-country: Dave Fields, tennis: Peter Suchanski, heavyweight basketball: B, D. Brown and Leo Singer, frosh-soph basket- ball: Herbert Canine. ln intramural sports: basketball: Al Grosche, boxing and wrestling: M. G.

They Have All Won Major Letter Awards I The W Club is an athletic organization with only boys as members. The club was organized two years ago following a petition signed by major letter winners and was ap- proved by Mr. Thalman and the Board of Education. Before an athlete is qualified for mem- bership, he must have a major letter in one of the following sports: football, basketball, track, swimming, boxing, wrestling, or tennis. The purpose of the club is to promote clean sportsmanship, respect for the school and its colors, and clean living. Officers of the club elected last year were: President, johnny lerusis, vice- president, Leonard Sczepanek, secretary- treasurer, Balph Burnett. Officers hold their positions for a semester. The sponsor of the club for the present is Ralph D. Brown. Mr. Brown was selected by the members. There are no other adult members in this club. One purpose of the 'XVVH Club is to see boys who have earned a Major letter do not disgrace the school by wearing their letter on a sweater other than a Northwester pur- ple in color. Letters must not be loaned to other persons or worn on garments other than a regulation sweater. A member found violating this ruling is warned to correct his mistake or he will be punished. lf found guilty, the violator is expelled from the club, and the letter which he gave away or wore on an outlawed sweater or jacket is des- troyed. pins which members received must not be worn by anyone but the member to whom issued. Violaters of this rule are treated the same as violaters of the ruling. The club sponsors one dance and a pic- nic each school year. The proceeds are used to buy a useful object for the school. The club serves as a motivating factor for future athletes who hope to earn their Major letters. lt is up to these future athletes to maintain the high standard which the club has set. The club sold candy at the regional tournament games hereg they also feted the Morton basketball squad in the high school cafeteria after their game with Waukegan. l5O MARK E. WILSON The Making of a Team I A football team represents the combined friendships, loyalty, enthusiasm and abilities, both physical and mental, of every member of the squad. The greater length of time over which these qualities pyramid, the more suc- cessful will be the team. ln the case of a high school team, four years is the ultimate. The l939 team was a true example of what sports should exemplify. Being the lightest team to represent our school in the past ten years, it was necessary for each member to put more into the game than his heavier opponent. This was done from the first game to the last, and the season was finished with a climax that Was worth all it cost in the way of effort. Every group naturally places the respon- sibility of leadership where it can best be carried, and rightfully the only three letter- men from the l938 team rose to the occasion. They were co-captains Alex Kapter and lohnnie lerusis, and quarter-back Leonard Sepanek. One is always repaid for the amount of effort which he puts into an undertaking by the satisfaction realized at the end, and no doubt, the benefit derived from being a mem- ber of this football squad will increase in im- portance in the lives of each player as time goes on. Varsity Football With only three lettermen from last 7ear's squad, Mark Wilson and his assistant, lack Morley, set out to mould a team around lohn Ierusis, Alex Kapter and Leonard Sepanek. When Mark issued the call for candidates for the Varsity squad in early fall, fifty foot- ball players reported. Out of this huge num- ber, twenty-three football players were awarded major W s. They were: Iohn Bak- shis, Ophell Bell, Virgil Burkey, Bill Crump, Richard Greene, Robert Groat, larnes l-faake, Ierusis, Alex Kapter, Rivera, Leonard Se- Bill Sitzman, Milton Carl Swanson, Ralph Vasta, Don Williams, Walter l-futton, lohnny Robert Niemi, Wendall panek, Mike Seremjian, Shatswell, Carl Staben, Scheve, Paul True, Tom and Elmer Sorsa, rngr.

Not being a league game, the locals polished up on their offensive and defensive tactics. Most of the game was defensive on the part of both teams. Sepanek, Greene, and Crump smothered the air attack of Crane by constantly intercepting their passes. f Waukegan 21 Marshall 0 Meeting up with an inexperienced Mar- shall team our locals found it easy going and ran over Marshall for their first victory of the season. Displaying a fine defense which Marshall could not break through spelled de- feat for them. A pass from Sepanek tw Bctlzshis gave Waukegan its first score, The other two touchdowns were made by Rivera and Crump. Sepanek and his educated toe con- verted the extra points after each touchdown. - Waukegan 7 Evanston 12 Facing a strong, experienced Evanston team for Waukegan's first league game on Waukegan's field, Vlfaukegan tasted the bitterness of their first defeat of the season. Scoring for Waukegan was done by Crump in the second quarter, Sepanek booted the extra point. 152 WAUKEGAN GRIDDERS IN ACTION AT LEFT, Marshall here: UPPER RIGHT. Highland Park there: LOXVER RIGHT, Proviso at Vlleiss Field. Waukegan 3 New Trier 0 I Traveling to New Trier to play its second league game, Waukegan found itself on the better end of a 3-U count. lt was a nip and tuck battle for both teams. Each team un- able to score through the line, resorted to passes, but to no avail. ln the last three min- utes of play Waukegan had possession of the ball on New Trier's 30 yard line. From here Sepanek booted a field goal which sailed smack between the uprights for three points, this being the only score of the game. Bill Sitzrnan shared honors with Sepanek. Waukegan 7 Oak Park 16 I Oak Park, champs of the Suburban League for the last four years, kept up its reputation as this year's champs by defeating Waukegan 16 to 7. Kapter blocked a kick attempted by Oak Park, which Waukegan recovered deep in Oak Parks territory. On the next few downs Swanson took the ball around end for the score. Sepanek, as usual, booted the extra point. lerusis played the best game of his career, constantly breaking through Oak Parks line and breaking up their plays, FROSH-SOPH FOOTBALL SQUAD SITTING: I.

Highland Parks Little Giants, bitter over defeats dealt them in the past were out for revenge against Waukegan. They de- feated Waukegan l4 to 7. Swanson scored for Waukegan on an end run. Sepanek con- verted the extra point. A last minute rally by Waukegan failed. Waukegan 7 Provise 6 Gridders scored their third victory in the league over a strong Proviso eleven. Bill Sitzman made a beautiful 56 yard run, which was the source of the touchdown to follow. Bill Crump scored after plunging through the line. Sepanek entered the picture again to score extra point. Waukegan 27 Morton D Finishing the last game in style, Wau- kegan romped over Morton to the tune of 27-O, Outpassing and outplunging the Mor- ton outfit showed what an improvement the locals have made during the season. Swan- son, Hutton, and Crump scored for Wauke- gan. Sepanek converted the extra points. Frosh-Soph Football - Coaches Sinaer's and Canine's frosh- soph squad failed to win a game this season. They played heads-up ball throughout, but with the breaks against them. Nineteen minor W 's were awarded to: Ahrens, Allen, Barney, Burnett, Bujan, Darnos, Emerick, Iohnson, McLendon, Mich- oloski, Morley, O'Flaherty, Owens, Boemer, Shultis, Smith, Spose, Valvanis, Staskiewicz, and managers, Adelson and Nutall. Numerals were awarded to: Barney, Karlos, Null, and Gelling. Frosh Football - Arriving fresh from grade school the frosh football aspirants were ready for any- thing. Steve Drew, frosh coach, taught them the fundamentals of the game such as, blocking, tackling, passing, and how to play a position. Playing a series of seven games against various schools in and around Lake and Cook counties the frosh showed signs of talent by winning two of those games. Players who were awarded numerals and who will be future varsity material in a few years were: Abdula, Bleck, Germer, Hagerty, Hollister, Iankauskas, Kenik, Killo- ran, Kirn, LaBarbara, LaPapa, Niemi, and Novak.

R. D. Brown, varsity mentor, had plenty of material from last years squad to form the nucleus of the l939-40 team. Flashing through a season of rough and ready style of basketball, the locals finished in fourth place in the Suburban league with eight wins and four losses. During the Christmas holidays the Wau- kegan cagers traveled to Dubuque, Iowa to play Dubuque high schools cage team. After a hard fought battle which ended in a tie, 35 to 35, Pierce put in the winning basket after a few minutes of overtime. The final score was 37 to 35 in favor of Waukegan. From there the locals traveled to Fulton, lll- inois where they emerged the victors by the score 36 to 33. Waukegan also defeated Moline on the local court, 43 to 41, Moline, incidentally, were runners-up in this years state finals. C. E.

Waukegan then Went to Elgin to the sectional tournament Where they were promptly eliminated by Waterman. TOURNAMENT PLAY Waukegan 41 Maine 26 Entirely outclassed by Waukegan, Maine did not offer much competition for the locals in the first regional game. Waukegan 46 Palatine 37 Meeting a strong Palatine team the locals had to put on a little pressure before coming out the victors in the second game of the tournament. This was probably the best game of the tournament. Waukegan 47 Libertyville 27 Putting up a strong defensive fight in the first half of the game, but finally crack- ing under Waukegans fast break, Libertyville was defeated by Waukegan 47 to 27 in the regional championship clash. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Waukegan 26 Waterman 33 Traveling to Elgin to play in the sectional tournament, Waukegan's first game was played against a strong Waterman five.

Organize Dolphin Club I The WTHS Dolphin Club was organized on Ianuary lU, l94U. The purpose of the club is to promote swimming and the interest in swimming' among the girls. To become members of this club a girl must have passed either the lunior or Senior Life Saving and the Water Safety course. The reason Why these qualifications are so high is the fact that all girls who have passed their Life Sav- ing have put in a minimum ol twenty hours practice beforehand and this shows that they have a great interest in swimming and are really accomplished aquatic performers. Charter members of the club are Vivian Butler, Mary Dudley, Vivian Ekkela, Eleanor Fredbeck, Gloria Henby, Helena Lewis, Fran- ces Peterson, Ioan Schleck, Betty Schlung and Katherine Sneesby. The members elected Katherine Sneesby as their president and 164 WATER LIFE Members of the Dolphin Club form a living wheel as one of their many stunts. Vivian Butler as secretary, Sophie Norkus was made the business manager ot the club. Later the members voted Lillian Huttleston, Evelyn Newell, Ruth Christiansen, Betty Bes- chenbossel and Margaret Schroeder, into the organization. Through the auspices ot the club, the appearance ol Claudia and Mary Eckert in a swimming demonstration was made pos- sible. The girls saw a Water Ballet contest at Shawnee Country Club and they were hostesses at the class swimming meet and the State Telegraphic Meet, here at the High School. Their biggest projejct ot the year was the Water Show, the theme ot which was sychronized swimming. Miss LaNore Morehouse is the sponsor ot this group.

Fifty per cent of all accidents that result in death happen in the home. The Frosh girls of today will be the housewives of io- rnorrow. That is one reason Why this course is considered very important. First Aid is a freshman educational class which meets one period each Week for one school year. lt is a lunior course in the large program of the American Red Cross and at the end of the course the girls Who pass are classified as lunior First Aiders. The classes are taught by the Misses Dennis, Morehouse, and Rundquist. 167 ABOVE-TOP PICTURE: Xfnry Japuncich and Mary Ri::n. LOXVER PICTURE: Nancy YVhitclez1thcr. Barbara S-zhcllengcr.

This goes on until someone misses and then it starts all over again! Now that this sport has been briefly ex- plained you will realize what tun the girls have and why they go tor this new after- school sport. lt proved a hit with some of the Iuniors and Seniors, because it is becom- ing one ot the most popular summer sports. Rosemary Puckett, Maxine Etter, Dorothy Iacobs and Katherine Sneesby were some of the most active players.

Hunt from his duties as Professor of Military Science and Tactics at WTHS at the beginning of the school year 1939-'4U. Having been P. M.

C. 172 BELOW: Major Pence gives Officer Dick Salsbury instructions to be relayed to the cadet unit. K-3 Cadets Make Social Splurge I The biggest event of the year was the Military Ball, under the lead of Major Pontus lohnson. Gold medals, gold braid, khaki uni- forms, and a rainbow array of feminine form- als, together with the red, white, and blue of the military background, made a colorful set- ting for that outstanding social event. Hundreds of flags decked the gym, red, white, and blue streamers lined the Walls, and over all, a gigantic American flag formed a patriotic ceiling. Trenches were formed in the four corners of the gym, machine guns, sandbags, and all the paraphernalia of war- fare. Barbed wire barriers kept the arriving couples on the right route. Present sabersl was the command, and a double line of officers raised their sabers to form an arch. Through this arch marched the Little Colonel and her three Little Majors elected by the popular vote of the couples attending the Hop. lo Anne Kirk- ham, as Little Colonel, presided over the ball and led the grand march with Virginia Reed, leanette Spoor, and Pearl Stewart, the little Majors. Mayor Talcott presented lo Anne with two eagle pins, the army ensignia for Colonel. She also received a five-pound box of candy, while Pearl, leanette, and Virginia were awarded Majors ensignias and one- pound boxes of candy. EEEEEE! SSSSSS! Boom, Bang, Crash! Amidst the screaming of sirens, the bursting of bombs, the exploding of shells, the odor of mustard gas, and the rat-a-tat-tat of machine gun fire, the orchestra was heard faintly play- ing l-lome Sweet Home as the lights again flooded the sham-battle field and the real field of a happy evening. The decontamina- tion squad, decked out in gas proof clothing and masks appeared to counteract the effect of the mustard gas. Many favorable corn- ments were heard after the dance. The WTHS cadets had scored again. Officers Form Club All officers belong to the Crossed Sabers Club, formed to promotte a closer relationship between the officers of the unit, and to help promotet cooperation in military activities, These included such events as the Eleventh Military Ball, inter-company competition in swimming, and rifle matches.

During this semester, garrison hats ap- peared on all staff officers. Purple and gold citation cords draped on the left shoulder of the uniform, and purple patches with letters in gold stating Waukegan T. l-l. S. ROTC and gold crossed rifles in the center made their debut on the khaki suits of those qualifying for these honors. The cords were presented to the Color Guard, Firing Squad, and Honor or Drill Platoon, The patches were given to those qualifying as members of the rifle club. 177 Ready on the right? . . . Ready on the left? . . . Ready on the firing line? . . . At will, commence tiring! Marksmen Are Active -Under the direction of Staff Sergeant lohn f-lolly, the rifle team traveled and competed in many matches with schools including Evanston, St. Mel, Ioliet, Gary, and St. lohn's Military Academy. They also took part in postal matches with many junior colleges and freshman teams of various universities. The Sixth Corps Area match and Hearst matches were the main ones on the l939-'40 schedule. The Color Guard was under the leader- ship of Major Bill Francke, who Was a cap- tain, the first semester, and Captain Nick Cfoldschmidt, Who commanded it the second semester.

Wham! the firing squad is in perfect alignment as their rifles loark salutes in honor of Legionnaires and others who are honored with military funerals. This active organization never hesitated when called upon to perform their duty in memory of persons Who had passed on. This is lout one example of a military activity which is little heard of, but to which the cadets give much of their spare time. There goes a farewell salute now! lt is the ROTC firing squad honoring, in this instance, the passing school year. We hear also the plaintive notes of the bugle - it is sounding Taps for all the happy school activities of WTHS for the year l939-'4O.

Two men, working in a New York City basement nearly a century ago, had an idea they could manufac- ture rooling by pouring hot asphalt and other ingredients from a tea kettle onto a sheet of felt and then passing the asphalted felt through a clothes wringer. The idea worked. Today, those two men and a clothes wringer have been lnulti- plied by thousands and the organi- zation they started has developed through the years into the Johns- ManvilleCorporation.Thiscompany now operates nxincs, nlills or fac- tories in I7 locations scattered from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. The company sells its 1,200 different products to home builders and industry through 83 sales offices. It gives direct employment to 11,000 persons, and indirect employment to lnany nlore. Maybe you have heard this story before. But it has a moral which makes it ever new. The moral is that America is the Land of Opportunity. Nothing can ever change that, so long as the motive power of Amer- ica's economic life is supplied by the initiative and energy of a free and democratic people.

On the campus couldnbe seen only one building, the Senior School, built in 1910 to accomodate some four hundred students, and by 1920 the enrollment had grown to over five hundred. This need was met by the building in 1921 of a unit known as the Junior School but at that time it consisted of only the part fronting on lashingto Street and s small cafeteria wing. In 1926, the dream of every Waukegan High School student cane true with the building of the new gymnasium. Impressive dedieationf exercises were held Dec. 9, 1926, and students and patrons of the school pointed with pride to this new addition. The school increased Junior building had to be were formed by the use of building of the west wing in size and even the corridors in the used for classrooms and study halls which screens. jThe need was again met by the connecting the Junior building and gym. The enrollment of the school has grown by leaps and bounds in the last fifteen years. In 1923, there were over a thousand students, by 1928, this number was doubled, and to-day we have over hundred enrolled. twenty-five Two superintendents have guided the activities of l.T.H.S. during this period. Mr. Keeler held the position from 1920 to 1924, and in 1924, our present superintendent Mr. Thalman, came to Waukegan. Miss Margaret Dady was made principal of the Junior school when it was occupied in 1921, and Miss Grace Warren was made Dean of girls at that time. Mr. Prichard became Senior School principal. The number on the faculty has increased in proportion to the M growth of the school from sixty-one in 1923 to eighty-eight at the present time in 1935. In the development of its curriculum, Waukegan High School has kept pace with the important trends in modern education and with wuitlng the school to the needs of the students and community. Even through the hard years of the depression its purpose never faltered, and a sacrifice on the part of those interested welfare of the school kept its standards high. How with another important forward step taken in the of the Yocational School, we have great faith in Waukegan High School to meet all problems and crises in the future ln the past.. in the building Township ' as it has ,, ..l.g- an - 0 1 ij X I 1 - - 1 Waukegan Township High School , 1 L BACCALAUREATE SERVICE january cuss, 1940 Gymnasium Sunday, january 21, 1940 3:30 p. m. - if 0 J ,X 4 ' l iv 'bb' .

They Keep Things Working Smoothly I Crashl A shatteriing of glass. its a broken window! Call the janitor, he'll tix it. Swish, swish, swish, the only sound that breaks the silence ot the night. We see the faithful janitors sweeping up the mess left by carefree students during the day, And so on every day, throughout the school year, the janitors serve iaithtully, un- tired by their endless duties. Thoughtless students have little idea ot the extra steps 20 they cause the janitors by simply dropping a harmless piece ot paper. In the summer, while we are basking in the sunshine on the cool shores ot Lake Mich- igan, or while We are on our vacations up North, the janitors are kept busy re-varnish- ing the desks which we have so carelessly marred and scarred with initials and doodling designs. Students toil from eight to three, but the maintenance statt is never free. What you see there, Mr. Nickel? Smile for the camera,Betty, Can't be studying! Dear Sir .... May I have your auto- graph? Why so demure, Phyllis? The night before the mom- ing alter .... How about cr tandem, Otto? . . and I says to him . . Get it in this time, Mr. Van Deusen. What have you got, Doris? Bored, Marion?

Class of I anuctry, 1940 24 CLASS OFFICERS I LOUISE PERRINE, Secreicxry TOM TINSLEY. Presideni MR. CHARLES E. MELTON, Sponsor MISS EDITH HIGLEY, Sponsor THADDEUS WIECHE CKI, Vice-President Make Way For the Senior A Parade I Pair by pair they came, all new and shiny, two by two they go, all worn and scarred-saddle shoes of the class of lanuary, l94U, marked by the varied activities of four happy years in high school. On a memorable day in Ianuary, 1936, this class began its high school life, dazed they were, and a little bewildered, but deter- mined to leave their impress on high school history. And they have done just that. Marching joyfully along under the skillful direction of Miss Edith l-ligley and Mr. C. E. Melton, the class elected Tom Tinsley as pres- ident, Louise Perrine, vice-president, and Ted Wiechecki as secretary - treasurer, to lead them through the last lap of their high school career. Sadly the school watched the departure of such sport stars as William Crump, Carl Swanson, Carl Staben, Richard Greene, Charles Kolbrick, Leonard Mansfield, Wendall Rivera, Iohn Sahagian, Paul True, and Ted Wiechecki. They, too, were sorry to leave, but they had the satisfaction of knowing that they had left their footprints on the field of sports. No better known members of this out- standing class are there than the Thespians, Anita Perry and Tom Tinsley, who appeared before the footlights in the class play, Nothing But The Truth . Slowly but surely the steps of this class grew more firm and confident. No longer stumbling, they tripped along to the music of Eddie Goodbout, George Dietmeyer, Norman Schwartz, Fred Reutlinger, Lorraine Deibler, and Florence Martin,-Mr. Graham's pro- tegees of four year's standing. Operettas, assembly programs, and var- iety shows in future years, will miss the antics and the lyrics of Richard Greene, Russell Woertz, and Tom Cliff, who have entertained the entire school many times. With a tramp, tramp, tramp, military boys, among others, lieutenant-colonel Iohn Yenny, Tom Tinsley, Walter Haake, Douglas Clarke, Richard Greene, Fred Brumm, and Ray Calhoun marched up to take their places in the class' hall of fame. They helped materially to keep the class in step by being on duty at all school activities. After all the hustle and bustle of being measured for caps and gowns, voting on an- nouncements, presenting the class play, choosing their commencement speakers, and taking final exams, members of the lanuary, 1940, class had a chance to look about at their classmates and found that Norman Schwartz and Annie Chaderjian were at the head of the class as Valedictorian and Salu- tatorium, respectively. Closely watching all these activities was Carol Bidinger whose job it was to make sure that all events left their imprint and were properly recorded in the pages of the Annual. With dignified and more measured steps than when they began, this class passed from the stage of Waukegan Township high school. Their day is done, but it is not forgotten. Their saddle shoes, though worn and scuffed, will always remain for them a symbol of four years of happy high school days, WM X fl i f : ' af .

LEO SINGER, Sponsor MISS IESSIE WHYTE, Sponsor Tramp, Tramp. the Iune, 1940, Class is Here I Hop! Skip! lump! Over the hurdles and through their paces for four eventful, action- packed years at W.T.H.S., scuffed at the toes, the many feats of the class of Iune, 1940, are at the end of their course. lt was not al- ways smooth, it was often rough. But no longer do their steps stray from the path in search of an elevator in the Iunior building or the gym in the cafeteria, as they did four short years ago. Helping and encouraging those who might otherwise have stumbled on the way, are Miss Whyte and Mr. Singer, class spon- sors, while Whitey Burnett, who has the dis- tinction of having been elected by his class as president each year for four years, Vice- President Ken Kellner, and Secretary-Treas- urer Charlotte Mix, set the pace for this formi- dable array of seniors. Not far behind and wearing the sport shoes of the class, came Iohnny Ierusis, Ernie Kowal, Bobby Pierce, Lennie Szczepanek, Alex Kapter, Whitey Burnett, Ray Adams, Dutch Bried, and Leo Smrtnik. How the class has pulled for them, and the whole school too! What a vacancy they will leave in sport circles when they graduate. lt will be diffi- cult for other sport aspirants to fill their shoes. Among the sweet singers who have cheered the class by their many entertain- ments are Pat Alex, Betty Faassen, Betty Mee- kins, Betty Hansen, Milo O'Dell, Carolyn McKean, Nancy Blair, Dorothy Innes, and Ruth Ellen Chittenden. No basketball or football game would be complete without the band to play stirring and triumphal music. Dick Faller, Kermit Kramer, Gloria Douthitt, Guerdon Green, Louis McCreight, and Ralph Dulmage helped supply this music under Mr. Graham's fam- iliar baton. Gloria has the distinction of win- ning first place in national competition on her flute. R.O.T.C. officers, lieutenant-colonel Wal- ter Hoff, Louis Baudoin, Ray Cameron, Roger Edwards, Iames Haake, Ray Petkus, Robert Trigg, Sam Grassa, Pontus lohnson, Alphonse Zaborski, Don Francke, Bill Prancke, Sam Rosen and Richard Salisbury, shout Hip, Hip! and give the class their marching or- ders, but in this modern age of saddle shoes, swing, and jitterbugging, the feet sometimes responded in strange ways, The Ghost Flew South -also in saddle shoes, as the lads and lassies behind the foot- lights of the second semester senior play crossed the stage in one of the last activities of the year, and a successful activity it was, too. Playing before a packed house, the would-be Thespians put across a fun-packed production. Because of this success, and because the class turned out in full force in its support, the members of this class were lucky in that they did not have to pay class dues. Dramatists in this production and in others were: Bob lohn, Emma Belle Pierce, Nick Goldschmidt, Sam Rosen, Ken Kellner, Betty Hansen, Ernestine Dickinson, Charlotte Mix, Ruth Schiff, Eldene Loftus, Kermit Kram- er, and Io Anne Kirkham. At the Military Hop, Io Anne Kirkham re- ceived the honor of being elected Little Colonel with Virginia Reed and leanette Spoor as two of her Little Majors . Recording the timidness, the stumbling, and the building up to the time when the class took their steps across the W.T.H.S. stage decked in blue caps and gowns, were Doris Curlee, Ernestine Dickinson, Charlotte Mix, Io Anne Kirkham, Eldene Loftus, Robert Iohn, Prank Palmer, and Bill Goodman of the Annual staff. The doors close, the echoes of their foot- steps die away, they, too, have followed the path of their predecessors-to graduation. 37 .Q kiw- X. QL. m QP- pv ' R. Adams W. Adams E. Ahern P. Alex H.

Waukegan Township High School . WAUKEGAN. ILLINOIS XX IUNIORS . . . Class of Iune, 1941 Their Day Is Harkl Whats that? lt's new and strange! Amidst the hustle and bustle of Senior build- ing life, another sound is heard, its a sound of a new step through the halls and on the stairs, strange saddle shoes, strange steps. The Iunior Bs have given up the familiar pathways of lunior building life to explore the wonders of the Senior building and upper- classman life. Under the indulgent smiles and curious glances of the old-timers, the class begins its new experience. They place at their head, President Boland McMinn, Vice-President E ugene Bleck, and Secretary-Treasurer Su- zanne lohnson. But, wat you'll have a hard time holding your own against this class! ch out, old-timers George Kerkorian, Leslie Millholin, Ed Pasiewicz, Elmer Neville, Iohn Sisty, and lim I-luffine are rising young sport stars making bids for positions on W.T.l-LS. teams. The 66 CLASS OFFICERS l ROLAND McMINN President SUZANNE IOHNSON Secretary-Treasurer MR. C. H. DALTON Sponsor MISS CORA BROWN Sponsor EUGENE BLECK Vice-President a Year Away humming, whistling, and occasional singing heard in the halls, more than likely emanates from Mackie Beeman, or Lorraine Dunn, or maybe from musicians, Victor Graham, Ior- dan Hillman, Bob Hoag, Lawana Connell, Leonard Gordon, Frank De Bartola, and Angela Milos. Bob Durst, Betty Boyd and Suzanne Iohn- son are often heard muttering to themselves, but they're only learning their lines for a dramatic production. Military officers, Mackie Beeman, and Budgy McMinn glory in the new experience of giving orders to lunior building rookies. By the end of their most important activ- ity, the lunior Prom, led by Prom Chairman Ann Link, and under the guidance of Miss Cora Brown and Mr. C. H. Dalton, the class is a full fledged member of the Senior build- ing personnel. 1. to Donald Albright lean Allen Alex Anastasott Evelyn Andersen Lillian Anderson 2, Robert Andrews Margaret Archibald Gloria Arenas Alice Ashcroft Iarnes Baddaker 3.

With Saddle Shoes as the theme, an attempt has been made to carry the story of a student's progress through four years ot high school, shod in saddle shoes, a mode as typical of today as was the bustle and hoopskirt a sym bol of days long ago. We invite you to live those days with us now, and to relive them in fond memories in days to come, your happy, carefree Saddle Shoe days at Waukegan Township High School. lll Hmmt tits o'NEs Q .rl bf nn Dar m slbdl' SOPHOMORES Class of I anuary, 1942 CLASS OFFICERS l DEAN DALTON, Vice-President MISS ELSIE KATTEBIOHN, Sponsor RAYMOND SMITH.

Raymond Smith, Dean Dalton, and Shirley Pitts stepped into the office of presi- dent, vicefpresident, and secretary-treasurer, respectively. Their firm steps of leadership in directing class gatherings carried them through the events of many happy days. Running among the leaders in the sports field, we may see Kenneth Owens, Raymond Smith, Ralph Sorensen, Dick Lyons, Donald Iohnson, and Iames McClendon. The voice and personality of Shirley Pitts starred in the music department programs and before 76 numerous assemblies. The sound of the band playing brings to our minds Dean Dal- ton, Raymond Eimerman, and Bob Brunner. Mildred Goodman is showing promise in dramatics. Betty Spoor and Mary Ellen Hel- gren are evident tops in scholarship. Next year will see them covered With paint and glue, their minds bursting with airy plansg for their lunior Prom is bound to be the climax oi their social activities, Merrily they go.

Stepping right along under the skillful guidance of Miss Eleanor De Young and Mr. M. M, Thompson, they felt as though their early troubles were a thing of the past. To steer them away from future difficulties, they accordingly elected lohn Burnett, president, Patricia Duncan, viceepresident, and Bob Liggett, secretary-treasurer. Already appearing in the limelight, are master musicians in the Senior band, limmy Butler, Robert Deibler, Clyde Fawcett, and Charles Roos. Iohn Andrews is making a name for himself in dramatics, while many more from this upeandfcoming class are des- tined for faiie on the athleiic field. On December 16, lUQl, saddle shoes galore skipped merrily to tlie gym for that all important event, the class party. What fun they did have! Patty Ann Howell, Elise Doolittle, lay Paul Minn, Bob Deibler, lim Butler, Frances Turk, Geraldine Galster, Billy Barnes, Richard Calhoun, and Richard Alford did their part to make it a gala affair.

I Spick and span, clean and shiny, un- scuffed by the trials ot high school life, the saddle shoes of the Freshman class hesitated upon the threshold of the lunior building on that first Tuesday in September While their owners paused uncertainly, Mr. Thalman called them to the gym and there gave them their instructions for finding their respective classes. Finally they trooped through the corridors, dodged behind open doors to lool: at the numbers, and after much embarrass- ment, ended up at the spots indicated on their program cards. A few, the less timorous and shy, were soon discovered and elected to lead their class, They were Stanley Durka, president, Betty Lou Funk, vice-president, and Barbara Hulse, secretary-treasurer. At their class party on April 6th, they soon overcame their self-consciousness and joined in the games and dancing. Some so mastered themselves that soon their names Will be prominent in sports, dramatics, band, and other school activities.
