But, like a child in ocean's arms, We strive against the stream, Each moment further from the shore Where life's young fountains gleam,- Eaeh moment fainter wave the fields, And wider rolls the sea, The mist grows clark, - the sun goes down Day breaks, - and where are we? O. W. H. 7 Administration and Instruction Here they are for you to see The Administration and Facultyg No one would have ever guessed That these dear folk made out our tests. 3533? IJ' ,f-xp, .1 The High School Board of Education HE Board of Education is composed of fifteen members elected by the citizens of the Township. Representing business, professional, and other lay groups, the Board constif ' tutes one of the most important civic groups in the community. The destiny of some twentyfthree hundred 'high school students is largely dependent upon the decisions and policies of the A Board. The members serve without monetary remuneration. The secretary and business manager is hired by the Board. Members are elected for threefyear termsg the Board president MINARD E. HULSE Pfmdem is elected for a term of one year. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, left to right, top row: Casper Apeland, Mrs. Evelyn Bairstow, Joseph Boak, Bernard Decker, joseph Drasler. Middle row: Robert A. Gibson, Mrs. Ruth Hathorne, Kurt Kiesow, Dr. John G. Kyndberg, Joseph Lewandoski. Bottom row: Joseph J. Nemanich, James C. O'Shea, Michael Pucin, Warreii G. Sivcr, secretary' business manager, Mrs. Fredrica Smith. 10 Superintendent John W. Thalman S the chief executive of the high school, the Superintenf dent has the task of coordinating the efforts of the Board of Education, the faculty, and the students. Mr. Thalman has served Waukegan Township High School in this capacity since 1924. During his twenty years as Superintendent he has seen the school grow from an enrollment of about eleven hundred to a high of twentyffive hundred, two years ago. The school plant has been enlarged and many new departments have been added during his administration. Having reached the legal ref tirement age, Superintendent Thalman has resigned his post and will retire at the close of the present school year. 11 W. T. H. S C. E. PRICHARD Senior School Assistant UNIGR and Senior students soon discover that the Senior Office has the solution to many of their real as well as imaginary problems. Here they bring their troubles, knowing that they can always find wise and sympathetic counsel. Mr. Prichard speaks softly but firmly, and although he has the proverbial big stick at his disposal, he seldom wields it. Juniors and Seniors have had ten or more years of school ex' perience and can usually recognize sound advice when they hear it. 12 Assistant Building Principals O the timid Freshman who has just entered high school, as Well as the sophisticated Sophomore who has already garnered a world of Wisdom, the office means Miss Dady. And woe be unto him whose transgressions are too many or too frequent! But even Freshmen and Sophomores can be per' suaded to do their best, and Miss Dady is master of the art of persuasion. Those who know her best will tell you that she has a heart of gold.

Their long tedious day starts early in the morning and doesn't end until late at night. With the defense classes at night it is quite a time until they are free to leave the school. Their job is to keep our school in order and in top notch condition. While we are attending our classes, they have a variety of jobs, namelyg-fixing or removing dead light bulbs, repairing leaky radiators, balky shades, cleaning messy halls, cutting grass and keeping the lawn in condition, and preparing the gym for assemblies, dances and other programs. During the winter they see that the walks and steps are kept free of snow and ice. While we are on our summer vacation having a wonderful time swimming, golfing, traveling, or playing a good game of baseball, our faithful janitors are picking up and preparing for the new semester. They varnish the desks that we carved our names on, wax the floors, paint the rooms and really give the old school a good going over before we come back. This able staff is headed by William Will in charge of the buildings and grounds. So here's a salute to the members of the maintenance staff.

At right, CLASS OFFICERS: Dorothy Skoff, secretaryg Richard Dunne, treasurerg Annabeth Shea, presidentg and Bruce Bairstow, vice-president. -A Here's to the Class of January, l944 ESPITE the comparatively small number in the January, 1944, qlass, great talent was found among its members. At the head of the class was Annabeth Shea, presidentg with Bruce Bairstow, vicefpresident, Dorothy Skoif, secretaryg and Dick Dunne, treasurer. The class sponsors were Miss Marion Coy and Mr. Hugh Hilsabeck. Best Foot Forward, their class play, went oil: very well with Sheldon Hill and Jeanne Blayf lock in thc leads. Others in the cast were Elaine Baddaker, Dick Cole, Preston Helgren, Anna' beth Shea, john Schulz, and Charles Jack. Prof duction manager was Norma Robinson, while Ruth Ross and Clarence Vogler were chosen as house managers. Class night was an outstanding event for this talented class. Charleen Ahlstrom, Bruce Bair' stow, Dick Cole, Joan Mowery, Dorothy Skoff, and Margery Warinanii wrote the novel produc' tion entitled, The Safeguards of Liberty. , It was divided into eight scenes. Scene I took place in Mrs. Edwards living room where she was being interviewed by a reporter about her sons in the service. Through reading a letter from each one of them we were taken to England, to a ship at sea, to Italy, into a jungle, and to an American U.S.O. Dick Cole as Hamlet, joan Mowery singing, and Phyllis Nitsche's dancing really added to an excellent program. Graduation was the last and most important highlight in W.T.H.S. for these seniors. This was the day long hoped for, oft dreamed of, and finally realized. They began the evening with the processional, March of The Peers , and after the Invocation by Rev. A. G. Tozer the address, The Class of 1944 Goes Forth to War and Peace , was given by Carroll Binder, foreign editor of the Chicago Daily News. Then came the big moment - the presentation of the dif plomas. This was their final reward for four years of striving toward their goals. Commencement over, most of the seniors hurried to the Grad Hop for an end to a perfect day.

As We look back on their fresh' manfyear, We notice that they have elected Mel' vin Fredbeck class president each year. Shirley Smith was elected vicefpresident and Marilyn Strang, secretaryftreasurer for their junior year. The social clubs of W.T.H.S. are greatly def pendent on the members of the 1945 class. Dilif gent workers of the Red Cross are Melvin Fred' beck, Shirley Smith, and Norma June McHoes. Morton Rubinson won recognition as Hall Monif tor chairman. In Girls' League we find Rhoda Jane Cook, presidentg Jackie Petter, vicefpresif dent, Alfreda Anderson, treasurerg and Joanne Tiffany, council secretary. All these girls have made a name for themselves in social work. Dramatic abilities have been shown by Morton Rubinson, Norma McHoes, Alfreda Anderson, Gene Mirguet, Melvin Fredbeck, Miriam Norby, and joan Wolter. Our Slide Rule Pfexy is Joanne 'T'iPfany. Mary Louisa Nies, Jane Murk, and Betty Class Officers Shirley Smith, VicefPresident Melvin Fredbeck, President Marilyn Strang, Secretary-Treasiwer w l X- of January, l945 Hokans ably handle the musical side of the class. Florence Pavlik has been making a record for herself in girls' sports. She is also president of the G.A.A. Shirley Smith, Ida Mae Svete, Vir' ginia Simmons, June Thompson, Norma June McHoes, all did a solid job in the water show. Alfreda Anderson and Jackie Petter have done very well in their art work, and both these girls as well as Rhoda Cook are important members of the Annual Staff. The highlight of this class' career was their Junior Prom. The theme was Showboat. All the members took an active part in helping to make this Prom one of the best. Eight members of this class were inducted inf to the National Honor Society last April. They were Margaret Fisher, Melvin Fredbeck, Shirley Smith, Mary Louise Nies, Florence Pavlik, Mor' ton Rubinson, Jean Thayer, and Joanne Tiffany. Under the enthusiastic sponsorship of Mr. aine and Miss Linderman, We expect to see this c ss graduate next winter with flying colors and many honors. Maurice Aegerter.

The first spark of disruption occurred when class officers were elected. No simple little homefroom election for this class! They had to be different. On November 3 they held a class meeting in the Gym and the candidates nominaf 56 Jack Henderson have all earned their minor letters. Carol Butler and Marge Paveglio hold up the feminine end of sports topping the class with their swimming skill.

Yes, you guessed it, it's Girls' League. Heading this allfgirls' club are the following oilif cersg Rhoda Jane Cook, president, Jacqueline Petter, vicefpresidentg Elizabeth Apeland, secref taryg Alfreda Anderson, treasurerg Joanne Tiff fany, council secretary. Miss Grace Rundquist and Miss Josephine Blanche are the advisors of this organization. The purpose of Girls' League is to help bring out the personalities of the girls and to help them choose their future careers. In keeping with the latter purpose the girls invited Y lfc Joan Han' nond to tell them about her life as a sailor. The girls were very inspired and delighted with her many experiences. Miss Meade gave a talk on The Problems of the High School Girl . The most recent speaker was Mrs. Robert John, who gave a book review on Madam Wi Lan Coo . To start the school year off, the Girls' League had the Hrst dance of the football season. The dance bore the catchy title of Pigskin Pepfup! Norma Totterdell was general chairman of this successful evening. One of the most important events on the social calendar of the Girls' League is their annual Penny Carnival . This gala event brings the public and the students, as well as the faculty, into an atmosphere of carnival life. The high- light of the Penny Carnival is the crowning of the Royal Family . The family elected consisted of Olive Mae Fredbeck, Queeng Bruce Bairstow, Kingg Pat Lutter, Princess, Charles Petter, Prince. In a more formal mood, the girls always honor their mothers with a Mother Daughter Tea. Jean Robertson was general chairman of this event. A charming program was offered by Mary Lou Thompson. Special invitations and favors were made by Mary Nibbe and Marilyn Pucket and their committees. Also the girls put on a Senior Tea for the girls of the graduation class. An amusing prof phecy is given at that time and many of the honored girls find themselves in quite delightful professions. Then too, the Girls' League always gives the National Honor Society Tea to conf gratulate the honor students, parents, and mem' bers of the faculty. A Christmas Party is always a welcomed date in Girls' League. Shirley Meyer was gen' eral chairman of the party last year. Another party of great fun was the Potfluck that the girls planned. Barbara McMahon was general chair' man and in spite of rationing the girls took their places for an afternoon. Have you lost anything lately?

The thing that most of the girls in Girls' League work for is to attend their annual conf ference. The conference was held in Highland Park High School this year. Twentyffive girls attended from Waulcegziii. The theme was Your Best Foot Forward. The purpose of this conf ference is to promote a feeling of friendship be' tween the schools and to bring the girls closer to the vital problems of the clay. Also the girls of the various schools have the privilege of discuss' ing plans for a better club. In order for a club as large as Girls' League to distinguish its active members from its inactive list, a point system is odered. Points are awarded for attendance, working on committees, being chairman of committees, giving special programs, etc. At the close of the year points are tallied and the active girls are chosen to attend the confer' ence and also are able to get a Girls' League Pin. The last program of the year is the installation of ofiicers and awarding of pins. Girls' League also has a council that meets every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. A representative from each homeroom attends and then reports back to her homeroom what the coming events are to be. l BOARD OF DIRECTORS, First Semester.

The History Club Takes the Lead UR Senior History Club can hold its head high and proudly boast of the record it has maintained for the past 19 years as the most popular and largest club at W.T.H.S. Under the able leadership of our sponsors, Mrs. Alta Stopford and Mr. Roy C. Hurd, we seemed to have accomplished more this year than ever before, not only in the lines of education and entertainment, but in aiding our country in working towards ultimate victory. On Friday, the 10th of September, 1943, our first meeting of the new semester was called to order, and election of oiiicers was the first im' portant business of the day. The members elected as their leader, Olive Mae Fredbeckg Vicefpresif dent, Jeanne Blaylockg and Roger Lutter, whose position was later taken over by Don DeThorne, as Treasurer. Gretchen Guenette served as His- torian, and jack Roos was SergeantfatfArms. The two directors were Jeanne Sackman and Joan Claeyssens. Arlene lass arranged all our prof grams for the semester. For the second semester Olive Mae was sucf ceeded by Delores Delkusg Carol Bleck took over as vicefpresident ,and Norma Klema was secref tarv. Our new Historian was Norma Totterdell, and Martin Litman became SergeantfatfArms. ,loan Claeyssens resumed her same position so Jean Thaver was the onlv newly elected director. The Senior History Club has truthfullv been LLWOfklIlg Towards Victory this year. Besides l5llVlf'l'T over one hundred dollars in War Bonds, we have helped greatly to build up the morale in our local U.S.O.'s and army camps in the United States and abroad. Hoe Down and Happy Daze were both huge successes and were royally received, at three U.S.O. Centers in Waukegan. Around Christmas time we all adopted an exfHistory Clubber in service and wrote to him. Many interesting letters were exchanged and a few of the more newsy ones were read at the meetings. We helped in the tin can and paper salvage drives, donated to the local Red Cross drive, the News Sun Christmas box drive, and the Community Chest Drive. In addition to helping boys in service to build up their morale, we sent our annual Christmas boxes of clothes to Piney Woods School in Miss- issippi. Along with our sincerest wishes for a Merry Christmas, we also sent 310 which we col' lected at our Christmas meeting. When the March of Dimes campaign was on, we staged our own drive and at only one meeting collected over 3310. Although we have each done our little bit to aid the war effort, every club member has the personal satisfaction of knowing that he has aided in many different ways throughout the year. Our club's record for the year has been one that few others have attained. Weare duly proud of our work but will not stop at this. Next fall our goal will be set even higher and we will again strive to do our best in bringing this dreadful turf moil to an end, which really is only the least we can do. Club Sponsors Top Q OME of the year's outstanding programs were K given by several representatives of our Latin American neighbors. Senor and Senora Miguel Uribe presented a very impressive and formula' ting lecture on their native country of Colombia. Unusual ability at the piano was displayed by the senora as she demonstrated the different types of native music. On November 19, another of our Good Neighbors to the south, Mrs. Betty Marshall, presented a very interesting program on Guatamala. A delightful musical and spiritual program was given for the club by the Bartholof mew mother and daughter team on the 17th of December. Mr. Hurd entertained us at one of our meetings with pictures he had taken on Youth Hosteling. Before he had quite inished we all were eager to mount our bicycles and join him on his next trip. Besides the many interesting programs, our yearly calendar was highlighted with several out' standing trips, parties, dances, and shows. Martha Darmstadt had charge of and planned our first dance of the season, the Cornstalk Stomp . 'Mid cornstalks and pumpkins couples gaily danced the night away, and enjoyed one of our successes of the season. Our next exciting day was on the 16th of October, when we all boarded the train for Evanston to witness the Great Lakes- Northwestern football game at Northwestern Notclis Programs University. Before the game we were allowed to tour the campus and were quite thrilled and excited when, as we were lunching in the cafe' teria, two of the university's cutest cheer leaders lead us in a few of the school yells, to be fused at the game. Not enough credit can be given to Delores Delkus for changing our amateur talents into professionals, in the club's first show of the seaf son, p Hoe Down . It turned out to be a great success, and an even greater triumph when pref sented for the boys at the local U.S.O.'s. January 15, was the date set for the presentation of the History Club's 16th annual banquet, which was held for a group of over 200 club members, alumni, service men, and guests. Happy Daze was the next spectacular event on our calendar. Under the excellent direction of Delores Delkus this too was a tremendous success. On April 11, a Far East Symposium was held at the high school. A whole day was given over to our Far Eastern neighbors and, with such famous speakers as Colonel M. Thomas Tchou, Madam Rose Hum Lee, Rex Hogan, and others, we all felt that we had a better understanding of far eastern conditions and relationships. This program was sponsored and brought to the high school by the history club and other school and local organizations. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, Second Semester.

' Historians In Sixteenth nnual Banquet 66 OLIDAY INN was the theme of the History Club's sixteenth annual banquet which was held at the Christ Church Parish House on the 15th of January. Christmas, New Years, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day, along with many of the other holidays of the year, were celebrated with much elaboration and color. Over two hundred guests, alumni, and mem' bers attended this gala event. Clive Mae Fred' beck presided over the banquet and John Pucik acted as toastmaster for the evening. Among the many notables invited were Chaplin and Mrs. Hjalmar Hanson of Great Lakes. Some of the alumni present were Lester Forsythe and Edward Twentyman of the class of '26, Warren Harris, '28g Elizabeth Barnstable, '29, and Floyd Kistler, '30. Nancy Doolittle, club president in January, '42, gave the response on behalf of the alumni present. A delicious creamedfchicken dinner, with all the trimmings, was ably served by St. Margarets Guild. Pecans from Piney Woods School in Miss' issippi were a special treat. Each table was colorf fully decorated with ornamentations depicting the different holidays of the year. The festivities started off with the singing of L'America and the school song, and yell. Come munity singing was led by Mr. Hurd, with Mr. Kaufman at the piano. Next on the program was the introduction of the toastmaster and guests. Greetings to the alumni were given and then the actvities report for the year was read by Arlene Jass. Can Todd, Mr. Hurd's guest from Great Lakes, made our hearts skip a beat when he crooned, My Shining Hour and Pistol Packin' Mama for us. Another outstanding guest was Uncle Paul King, also of the Navy, who sang When Irish Eyes Are Smiling and Always . With a little private detecting we discovered that he had sung with John Thomas and other notables of the opera world. After the lovely dinner we all adjourned. to the auditorium to watch the presentation of Holf iday Antics . The skit consisted of ive acts illustrating ive of our different holidays. Joan Mowery, who was Mistress of Ceremonies, di- rected the first scene. The Wearing of the Green was directed by Annabeth Shea, and Jacquelin Burkey had charge of the Christmas Eve act. 3'Sweetfhearts on Parade was planned by Phyllis Nitsche. The last scene, Our Nations Birthday , was under the leadership of Delores Delkus. General Chairman of all committees was Ruth Hjelmeland. Jean Thomas was in charge of name cards, Jean Hurd, menus, programs, Shirley Smith, and invitations, Elaine Babb. Norma June McHoes was decorations chairman and Elaine Baddaker had charge of the evening's entertain' ment. After an hour and a half of hilarious enter' tainment, we adjourned to Memorial Hall for inf formal dancing to the tunes of that well known julie box . About eleven thirty the party broke up and all returned to their respective homes with happy, carefree holidav hearts and many pleasant mem' ories of a wonderful evening. Sponsor Two Big-Hit Shows at OE DowN was staged the last of Novemf ber as a benefit for the high school Parent Teacher's Association and for presentation to the three U.S.C. centers in Wziukegan. As the picture indicates, there were more than 40 in the cast. The producer and director was Delores Delkus. The four scenes were The Jam Session , The Ballet , The Conga , and The Military Boogie. A chorus of girls took part in each of the four scenes either dancing or singing or both. Highflights of the show were solo numbers by Harrison Rowe, Joan Mcmwrey, Dick Cole, Annabeth Shea, Norma Jane Totterdell, Harvey Biddlecom, and Delores Delkus. Other out' standing features were duo numbers by Rose Marie Kinsey and Phyllis Nitsche, Norman Goodf manson and Ray Harju, Ronnie Bleek and Dorf othy Kelly. The jam Session scene was a typical high school student gathering, the Ballet was probably the most beautiful scene, the Conga was the most colorful, and the Military Boogie the most inf triguing. This program netted the P.T.A. Stuf dent Aid Fund a nice sum, and it was also much appreciated by the servicemen when presented at the U.S.C. centers. N the evening of March 24th and 25th the Senior History Club presented their annual spring show before audiences of over three hun' dred. Happy Dazeh was superbly directed by Delores Delkus and turned out to be our biggest success of the year. A few of the outstanding features were the mysterious robot, the famed Barber Shop Quarf tet, composed of Messrs. Hurd, Graham, Clayf baugh, and Fortier. From old Mexico came the gay and colorful dancing team of Misses Alice Sanchez and Juanita Carmona. In gay, authentic costume the girls gave an original Mexican dance, Las Chiapanecasn. The plot of the show centered about a couple celebrating their golden wedding anniversary by recalling pleasant memories of the past. The first scene brought back the colorful and melodious Gay Nineties. The festive days of the Mardi Gras in New Orleans and the chanting lyrics of the Indians of the far West set the scene for the second and third acts. The 1933 Century of Progress in Chicago was portrayed in the fourth scene. The Hfth and last act took place in a modern defense factory where a program was being presented by a few of our more noted stars. Committee chairmen were Delores Delkus, general chairman, Laverne Bergh was handling the tickets, the script was written by Rosemarie Hoff' lander, Carol Palbicke had charge of properties, Gloria Mayer and Jeanne Sackmann covered the publicity and Jim Hogan had. charge of the lighting for the evening.

And Here's the Junior History Club HE Junior History Club is made up of Fresh' men and Sophomores under the., able sponsor' ship of Miss Jessie Whyte. The purpose of the club is to foster greater interest and appreciation in the social studies and to promote better citizenf ship. Cfhcers for the first semester were: joan Wolf ters, president, Art Fuller, vice presidentg Eileen Siegel, secretary, and Eunice Firchow, treasurer. The oflicers for the second semester were: George Drysdale, president, Jack Hagopian, vice president, Carol Amstutz, secretary and Reginald Johnson, treasurer. In the fall, the Jr. History Club was invited to take a trip with the Sr. History Club to Evanston. In the morning they toured the campus IUSTORX CLLB Coocle, John llcrnice Mary George and were very much impressed with the vastness of the university. Some of the things that were included in the tour were some of the sorority houses, class rooms ,the library and many other places of interest. Completing a busy morning, the group Went to the dining room for a delicious meal and then came the big treat-the North' westernfGreat Lakes football game. From here, being a tired club, they climbed aboard the train that was to take them home. The club also sponsored the last dance of the year. During their meetings they have had many interesting programs and educational movies. They donated to the Ear East Symposium. The History Club also contributed to the Sheridan Road U.S.O. for-two supper parties. 77 Firchow, Geraldine Beverly Jackson 2, Barbara Nell Howley, Patricia ROW' 3 Agnes Pei Opal, Joy Weakly Salbert, Went At top above: Student City Council in session. Lower picture: Student City Government personnel. Seniors Take Over F the citizens of Waukegaii found that the city was being handled differently on Decemf ber 15, 1943, it was because the seniors had taken the reins of city government for a day. This was the eighth annual student government day to be held in W.T.H.S. The honorable mayor for the day, Sam Romeo, was sworn into oliice by city clerk Richf ard Cole. Police Magistrate, Norman Gray, conf ducted his first trial, Bruce Bairstow was kept on his toes as corporation council. John Schulz did an excellent job in the treasurer's position. The aldermen were respectively: Ward 1, Genevieve Alloian and james Kirng Ward 2, Sally Mikkila and Frank Ryskiewicg Ward 3, Katherine Sef kulich and Kenneth Waehiierg Ward 4, Eleanor Nystrom -and Elaine Baddakerg Ward 5, Charles Wliitelcather and Roger Lutterg Ward 6, Doris Hipple and James Hogang Ward 7, Shirley Larf son and Preston Helgren. After the new oilicials had learned of their duties they visited many of the city's institutions, such as the City Hall, Water Department and various other departments. Wheii these duties were completed and everyone had learned what City for a Day he could, they all hurried to a d.elicious luncheon that was served at the legion home. From here they Went back to the City Hall to have their pictures taken and then to the city jail to hear a mock trial conducted by Student Police Magis' trate Lippy Gray, which turned out to be very entertaining as well as educational. It was found that Tom Gallahue was sitting nervously on the ire truck waiting for an alarm. It was also discovered that Mayor Sam and his secretary, Dorothy Shoff, were busily concenf trating on a large pile of business forms and cerf tainly enjoying it. At the Police station, Chief Jim Kilbane was making out very well with Desk Sergeant Joe Miller jumping at his every com' mandg as detective, Sergeant Jay Nordberg was sitting behind the desk listening for police calls. Bob Balz came back to the City Hall from the cemetery where he was cemetery clerk and stated that nbusiness was dead. The climax of the day's activities was the Council meeting held in the Council chamber of the City Hall with Mayor Sam Romeo presiding over the student aldermen. All in all, the stu' dents agreed that a Senior Government Day is beneficial to all. The Junior Red Cross Serves MPORTANT enough during peace times, in war times it is about the most important organization in school -the Junior Red Cross. Under the capable leadership of MES Vera Jcrg and Miss Mabel Thompson, the club attained uncqualled merits during the year. Members, on their toes from the first meeting to the last, are well- deserving of a pat on the back. Norma Jane Totterdell served as president the first semester, and Norma June McHoes, the second. Jack Roos was vice-president, Shirley Smith, secretaryg Mel- vin Frcdbeck, treasurerg and as heads of other standing committees. Dick Krieg, Jane Schlung, Mary Lou Moore, Jean Smelcer, and George Drysdale. The block for menu covers was made by Rose Matipjevich, for Armistice Day for the Navy men in hospitals, and a donation of S15 to the News-Sun Xmas Fund. The annual mite-box drive was held November 1-15, with Martha Kazarinn as chairman. About S150 was received. The proceeds from the fall dance, headed by Melvin Fredbeck, was about SSO. Several paper campaigns were held during the year, under the direction of Mr. Claybough, and proceeds were used to help fi- nance the projects done in other school departments. In January boutonieres of holly and mistletoe were sold at a proht of 2512-which was turned over to the County Jr. Red Cross. The material for the bou- tonieres was sent by a poor woman in Ashville, Ky., who wrote saying, If you will send me some clothes for my family, I will send holly and Xmas greens . . . so the suggestion was followed, with both the club and the woman beneiiting. Some of the biggest events of the second semester were: financial support to the Far East Symposium, a April 115 a book drive from March 6-113 the spring dance, Soc Hop and assembly on April 28, and the selling of Easter Seals for the aid of crippled children. A new twist was given to the book drive-instead of just collecting books for servicemen in general, the club answered the plea of Chaplin Steve Gaskins, formerly of Gurnee, Illinois, now serving in New Guinea, for books for the boys to read in their spare moments. In addition, to the great number turned in by pupils, the club bought extra pocket additions to add to the number mailed overseas. They were, of course, greatly appre- ciated. The spring dance SOC HOP was a huge success and indeed a novel idea. The students attending danced to the mellow music of Bob Schuenaman's orchestra- minus their rationed foot-wear. Working on the dance were Norma June McHoes, Gloria Mayer, Pat Unewitz, Virginia Heffelllinger, and Alice Ekezian, with Norma Jane Totterdell as general chairman. About 2575 was made on the dance. The purpose of the dance was to raise money for the Nat'l. Children's Fund-but instead of doubling the prolits as first planned, 55200 was donated. An, original assembly skit, written by Norma June McHoes and Norma Jane Totterdell, assisted by Miss Doris Dixson of the Dramatics Dep't. and Miss Jerg, was presented on April Z8 to show what the Red Cross was doing in the war effort. It was in the form of a radio skit, with a cast of 30 members oi the Jr. Red Cross and Dramatics Dep't. It was well received, both for its entertainment value and for the message it car- ried to the audience. Shirley Smith served as secretary of the County Jr. Red Cross, and altemately the ofncers of our club attended the various meetings. JR. RED CROSS RIEINIHERSI-lil'.

Slide Rule Club Te ' IIME and time again the government has stressed the need for men and women proficient in mathematics. Present conditions have created a great interest in the use of the slide rule. By using this clever instrument many difticult and tedious problems can be solved quite simply, without it, some problems would be impossible. The purpose of the Slide Rule Club is to increase the students, facility in mathematics by teaching the use of the slide rule. Junior and Senior students who are taking mathematics are eligible to join. To keep all members alert, contests are held every few weeks with war stamps or slide rules as prizes. aches Essential Skill At each weekly meeting, a. short business session was heldg then our sponsor, Mr. W. Barczcwski, plunged into all the fascinating problems connected with a slide rule. Multiplication, division, proportion, powers, roots, and trigonometric functions were all taken up in turn. The club had the opportunity of hearing Mr. Herman Nies from industry lecture on the practical use of the slide rule. The movie, The Use of the Slide Rule . was shown, Slide Rule club is delinitely not a social organizationg its members think only of learning a useful skill.

Poster Club Publicizes School Events ES, advertising school functions through pos- ters is the job of the Poster Club. Have you ever stopped to consider how dependent the many other school organizations are on this club? The Poster Club ably takes care of all assignments. The membership is not very large and is very select because of the talent required. The mem' bers make up the posters in their spare time, and have them ready for the bulletin boards a week ahead of the occasion. Gwen Howell spends extra time writing up Poster Club Notes for the W World. The other active members are Alfreda Anderson, presidentg Norma jane Totterdell, vice president, fConti'nued from page SOD of the members use their rules constantly in physics, chemistry, and math classes. Knowledge of how to use a rule is essential in many fields. The officers of this club are Joanne Tiffany, presi- dent, Bob Fay, vice president, secretary-treasurer, Har- rison Rowe succeeded by Mary Nies. Their sponsor is Mr. W. Barczewski. Jackie Petter, secretary, and Betty Turner, treasf urer. Marilyn Puckett was the general chairman for the Artists and Models' Ball . This is an annual affair for the club. Mr. Jickling, the club's able sponsor, devotes time and effort in keeping a watchful eye on his charges. During the basketball season Poster Club helped in the selling of candy, and those ambif tious students who actually sold the candy gained more points for themselves. This year after patient and continual work, several members received their Poster Club Pins. Alfreda Anderson, Jackie Petter, Marilyn Pucf kett, and Betty Turner are all proud owners of them. Every year service awards are given to those outstanding members who contributed special effort. Alfreda Anderson, Carol Butler, Gwen Howell, joan Jackson, Lorraine Lange, Dolores Mitchell, Jackie Petter, Marilyn Puckett, and Betty Turner, all received service awards, according to Lorraine Lange and her committee. The club party in the spring rounds up another year of fun and service. ROVV 1, left to right: Helen Bartzen, Marilyn Puckett, Gwen Howell, Lorraine Lange, Betty Marshall, Joan C. Crawford.

At a joint meeting with the History Club, Mrs. Marshall presented an inter' esting travelogue and exhibit. At the Christmas meeting the play Los Reyes Magosu was presented in Spanish and the pinata was broken. Many technicolor films have been shown at these meetings some of which are: Down Where the North Begins , Mexican Woods , Brazil's Fishing School , Our Neighf bors Down the Road , Montevideo Family , and South of the Border with Walt Disney. - Another delightful program was heard when la senorita Carmona from Mexico and Alice San' chez entertained with songs and dances and Ed' ward Cosini from Venezuela played the violin. Study of Spanish Promotes Good Will HE study of Spanish continues to be imporf tant in our National Defense Program for the developments of closer relations with the nations of North, Central ,and South America whose cultural background is Spanish. The following enrollment figures show the inf creased interest in Spanish in our school: 19391940 130 pupils 1940-1941 234 pupils 194111942 29s pupils 19424945 365 pupils 1943-1944 335 pupils Attractive new text books have made the study more interesting. Practical, informal Span- ish has been stressed in daily conversations. For' eign correspondence with students of Spanish' speaking countries has been enjoyed. This year an award for excellence in Spanish is being presented to a student of our school. This bronze medal is offered by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish. It was won by Ann Nicpan in a competitive examination. The study of Spanish promotes InterfAmerif can understanding and, therefore, is a war and peace subject entitled to an important place in a war and peace program of education.

Hall Monitors Are On the Job HE Hall Monitor System is under the direction of the Student Council, is another of the important organizations in this school. Morton Rubinson serves as chairman and Mrs. Louise Martin is the sponsor. All the hall monitors are volunteers, but they must have a scholastic average of 82. Their position is one of great responsibility. There is a hall monitor on duty in each hall, each pe- riod, and every day. Their duties consist oi turning out all the unnecessary lights in the halls and lavatories, testing each locker to sce that it is properly locked, and stopping all students and visitors to see that they have a pass to go through the halls. At assemblies hall moni- tors wear their hall monitor buttons and assist the teachers in keeping the students from pushing aside chairs and walking on the bleachers. Each period of the day there is a forrnan in Jr. 214. It is his duty to see that the hall monitors are at their posts every day. The foreman visits the hall monitors twice a Week. On Monday they pass out the Hall Monitor Blanks and on Friday they collect them, check them for completeness, and hand them in to the Hall Monitor Chairman. Good scholastic standing, courtesy, and proper per- formance of all duties are required of the hall monitor. Not much publicity is given to the hall monitors, but it cannot be said that the student body and the faculty do not appreciate the fine work they are doing.

Girl Reserves Face HE Senior Girl Reserves, whose purpose is to face life squarely and live more abundantly, are among the many clubs in the service field whose aim is to aid the comm-unity's war effort. Some of the many services in which the group has participated this year are filling the cookie jar at the U.S.O., making scrap books for the Day Nursery, and serving as Minute Maids to aid in selling war stamps and bonds. As their semester project the girls presented a play, Mushrooms Coming Up , for the U.S.O. Those in the cast were: Dolores Sitler, student directorg Pat Unewitz, joan Mayer, Jane Schlung, Kath' erine Swanson, Barbara Gordon, and Rosemarie Hoillander. In the way of social activities the girls planned a novel style show to which the girls invited their mothers and the Junior Reserve girls and their mothers. Shirley Garmant was general chairman of this event. The club advisor, Miss Rich, and Mrs. J. Seeber, the Girl Reserves secretary, deserve avote of thanks for helping make the Senior Girl Ref serves one of the most active and popular girls' clubs at W.T.H.S. Officers for the Hrst semester were: Elaine Baddaker, presidentg Eleanor Nystrom, vice'presf identg Helen Freberg, secretary, and Alice Fries, treasurer. Oiiicers for the second semester were: president, Gertie Siegelg vicefpresident, Shirley Garnantg secretary, Elaine Babbg and treasurer, Jean Olson. Life Squarely popular club with the girls of Waukegan High is the Jr. Girl Reserves. The mem- bers meet every first and third Mondays after school. Though quite small they manage to keep in the limeflight by their various activities. Perf haps the purpose and slogan would help to deine the type of club it is. They are To face life squarely and to find and give their best. Able directors and leaders of the girls are Mrs. Jane Seeber and Miss Rich. Last semesters oilicers were: president, Del' ores Krieselg vice president, Peggy Dempsterg secretary, Sally Franks, treasurer, Laura Mae Baddaker. Taking their places this year . are Sophie Evans, Lois Flament, Donna Bailey, and Emmy Lou Hastings. Their activities are many and varied. For service to the community they have collected old clothes, mended them, and turned them over to the Red Gross, made regulation Girl Reserve USO scrap books, and have prepared a play which they presented at the USO. For their own enjoyment they had a membership coke party, play casting, tally pull, career party, Girl Ref serve visitors from Lake Forest, Mother and Daughter program, bakery sale, breakfast hike and a hayride.

Their very capable president is Virginia Duncan. The secref tary is Annie Morris and their treasurer is Mary Lou Moore. The purpose of the organization is disclosed in its motto: To find and give the best . The Adelphian Girl Reserves have done much for the War effort in our school. The club furnished and served a supper to the service men at the South Genesee Street U.S.O. They also furnished volunteers to check wraps at the U.S.O. on Saturday nights and to help in furnishing enf tertainment for the men whenever an opportunity arrived. Girl Reserves also have fifteen to twenty girls Working at the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta- tion. And last, but not least, they helped with the Community chest campaign this year. So you can see that they are all out in the war effort. ADELPIIIAN GIRL RESERVES.

THE 1944 DEBATE TEAM. ROW 1, left to right: Louise Tonigan, Elma Gaut, Ruth Rusche. ROW 2: Harold Rusche, Charles Lindberg, S. I. Sandven, coach. Debaters Establish OURING over musty volumes in the library, wandering dazedly through the hallways, mumbling unintelligibly, clutching expansion folder in despair-that is a debater. Arrogant if he wins, dejected if he loses, head awhirl of League of Nations, BritishfAmeriean Alliance, rebuttals, his colleague . . . Besides being the best possible training in straight, clear thinking, debating is as much fun as the proverbial circus. For instance, this year, in addition to four debates, the group partici- pated in a tournament at Loyola in which Wauf kegan rated second, and were treated by New Trier to a dinner and splash party. Don't get this wrong - debating isn't all chicken dinners and train rides with the gang - it's hours of eking out material for your construe' tive argument, nights and nights of practice - of having your speech torn down and recon' structed. It's knowing your subject backwards and forwards, from your point of view and your opponents But it's worth it, every minute of it. To know your opponents weak arguments, to know your case is being steadily built up, point upon point . . . Yes, it not only pays, it brings dividends, dividends in understanding of world events, in formulating your ideas into words. Enviable Record In the tournament at Loyola, Waukegan, in addition to placing second, boasted the best negae tive speaker, Harold Rusche. And out of thirteen schools, too. Now aren't you proud of your team and sorry you didn't come to more debates? The dinner and splash party at New Trier can be described in one word, solid! The pool is simply magnifique. None of us were sorry we had gone. The subject this year Was, Resolved, that the United States should join in reconstituting the League of Nations. The team was composed of Louise ToniganfCharles Lindbergh, affirmative, Elam Gaut'Harold Rusche, negative, and Ruth Rusche, timekeeper. But what's a team without a coach-a good coach? Not much, you know. Waukegan has, in the opinion of the team, the best coach in the section, if not in the country. And we know, we've met other coaches. Mr. Sandven, gently, almost imperceptibly beats our speeches-and us-into shape. Then after months of research and plain work, we march forward, armed with quotations by Shawcross and Hoover, with an encyclopaedia of League of Nations stored in our heads, and emerge victorious. lt's worth it-it really is. If youlre from Missouri, try out for the team next fall, and see for yourself. 88 Knowledge of Radio Practical Asset HERE is a club that really has a purpose. Under the leadership of Mr. Ward james, the Radio Club helps students to become amaf teur operators, to learn code, and, of course, to make social contacts. Officers elected were: president, Paul Lujanacg vice president, james Eatingerg and secretaryitreasurer, Carl Giamf paolo, with Jay McClosky as official bouncer. The use of radio is very important in the mechanized forces of our Army and Navy and can be very beneficial to the boy facing induction. Besides that, it is one of the most interesting hobbies in the world, and will provide an educaf tional occupation during leisure hours. Member' ship and participation in the activities of the Radio Club affords a pride of ownership and may lay the foundations for a career in the future. Learning the International Morse radio tele' graph code is the key to the first door of this fascinating hobby. This knowledge is used in com- munication by blinker lights, heliograph, wig wagging, auto horns, whistles of ships and. loco' motives. The boy who has acquired this knowlf edge will find himself in a preferred position upon induction and will probably get into a branch of the service entirely to his liking. The high school offers any boy or girl who is interested in radio a chance to show what he can do by membership in the Radio Club. RADIO CLUB MEMBERS.

THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of this Society to which I have been elected, striving in every way by word and deed to make its ideals the ideals of my school and my life. NE if the main highlights of the school year is the induction of members into the Na' tional Honor Society. From freshmenlto seniors the high standards of the society are impressed upon the students. Members are chosen on the basis of four qualifications: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. The first requirement, however, is that the student be in the upper third of his class. On December 8, 1943, the first initiation was held, to a backdrop of candlelight and approf priate solemn music. Initiates from the January, 1944 class were Ruth Hjelmland, Ruth Chris- tiansen, Doris Bray, Dorothy Pavlik, Dorothy Skoff, Harrison Rowe, Sheldon Hill, and Eleanor Nystrom. Those from the June, 1944 class were Kathleen Eads, Marjorie Inness, Joan Fellows, Dolores Delkus, Elma Gaut, Beattie Leith, Norma Brefeld, Joan Claeyssens, Julia Piquette, Jean Hurd, Lillian Sandberg, Kay Sekulick, Carol Bleck, Alice Sanchez, Bob Wilson, Sam Romeo, Norma Jane Totterdell, Ken Waehiier, and Harold Rusche. April 19, 1944, the second ceremony took place in the Junior Assembly at 8:00 p. m. The members inducted from June, 1944 class were James Hogan, Norma Klema, Martin Litman, Mary Lucas, Lila Maki, Jay Nordberg, Jean Peterson, Jean Sackman, Richard Schwartz, Jean Thomas, Shirley Thomas, Dorothy Wikel and June Starashina. Members from the January, 1945 class were Margaret Fisher, Mary Louisa Nies, Melvin Fredbeck, Shirley Smith, Florence Pavlik, Morton Rubinson, Jean Thayer, and Joanne Tiffany. Those of the January, 1944 class who did not receive picture recognition in the 1943 Annual are as follows: Arlene Jass, Eleanor Mackey, Martha Darmstadt, Jeanne Blaylock, Elaine Baddaker, Doris Hippie, Annabeth Shea, Mary Lou Strang, Johnny Schultz and Richard Cole. Honor Society Is Growing Tradition HE National Honor Society was first organ' ized in our school in 1936. Since then 99 boys and 255 girls, or 354 students in all, have been initiated. Qualifications for induction into the Honor Society includes courtesy to fellow students, visitors and members of the faculty, co' operation in all school activitiesg good sportsmanf ship, dependability, and compliance with all school regulations. A willingness to render ser' vice cheerfully and an eager desire to maintain the best interests of the school and of the com' munity are the last qualities, but by no means of less importance. A candidate must also have dis' played the qualities of leadership, possess outf standing character traits, and a high scholastic rating. Honesty, consideration for others, self' reliance, initiative, high moral standards and a desireable personality characterize the Honor Students of W.T.H.S.

Hi-Y Fosters Christian Ideals ACH Monday night at the Y.M.C.A. for one hour, the HifY boys meet and discuss future plans and activities. The purpose of the HifY is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Under the guidance of Mr. Fields, the club conducts meetings and makes plans and arrangef ments for the future activities. President for the first semester, the boys chose Shelden Hill. As' sisting him were Richard Cole, vice presidentg Robert Hastings, secretaryg Preston Helgren, treasurer, and Charles Jack, sergeantfatfarms. At the beginning of the second semester the boys elected James Kirn president. Under him were James Hogan, vice presidentg Bob Smart, secref taryg John Loquidis, treasurerg and John Allexan, sergeantfatfarms. The group rounded out a very active year starting with the Father and Son banquet held at the Y.M.C.A. A large group attended and were entertained by members of the club. Their next social aifair was the Fifth Annual HifY dance in December in the high school gym. During the year the boys held hayrides with their girl friends. At a meeting in May the Delta HifY, a junior group, was amalgamated with the senior club. The boys finished the year with the Annual HifY Spring picnic at the Waukegan beach. So ends another year, an unforgettable one for the HifY boys. l l P . ! ? e rs fl it? Upper picture, ANNUAL STAFF, lirst semester.

C61 Norma Brcfeld and Marilyn Henry seem not too worried, even though those pictures are difficult to match into a panel. nnual ls All-School Project HE work of producing the yearbook is an all' year assignment for the busy members of the Annual W staff. While they meet regularly period 1 each morning of every school day, they find that there are a hundred and one little def tails involved in the production of the book that just do not lend themselves to an arbitrary forty' minuesfbyfthefclock schedule. Because so much of the work involves contacting and interviewing students and teachers, it becomes necessary for members of the staff to be on the job at almost any hour of the school day as well as before and after school. This is especially true during the time of individual and group picture scheduling. Nor is the Work of yearbook production conf fined to those who are regular members of the editorial or business staffs. In fact, it is an all' school project in which every teacher and stu' dent in the high school is asked to participate at some time during the year. It is only with the full cooperation of the entire school that the yearbook is made possible. Students who are regular members of the staff find opportunity for the application and development of a variety of skills and abilities. Beginning with the making of the general plan or theme of the book and progressing through the innumerable list of details which culminate in the reading of Final page proofs just before the edition comes off the press near the close of the school year, Annual W staif members who take Junior I47 ls Publications Laboratory an interest in the project find the task of prof ducing the yearbook a fascinating revelation. As they watch their plans and ideas evolve, develop and finally emerge in a concrete, tangible product, they learn to appreciate the merits of cooperation as well as of individual effort conscientiously applied. Members of the 1944 staff are pictured on the adjoining pages. They gratefully acknowledge the assistance and cooperation of everyone who contributed to the production of the 1944 Annual W .

Student Journalists Produce W World o most WTHS students Friday morning means W World day, but to the members of the editorial and business staffs of the student paper every day is W World day in Junior 147. The work of getting into the completed printed pages of the paper accurate reports of the varied happenings in and about the high school entails persistent and painstaking effort on the part of every member of the staff. Speed and accuracy are the watch words of every Worker, from cub reporter to editor. While the World is the laboratory project for advanced students in the journalism courses, others, who because of difficulties in prof gram adjustments have been unable to enroll for the semester of preparatory training, but who are interested, can make arrangements to enroll as members of the paper staff. Members of the second semester staff this year whose pictures are not included with the groups pictured in this section are Jean Sackman, editorg Virginia Ivlakinen and Sally Mikkila, typistsg Gertie Siegel, news editor, Sonia Salonen, girls' sports writerg Virginia Shimenti, columnistg Elinor West, circulation managerg and Marjorie Totterdell, bookkeeper and special writer. 1.

A familiar cry through the W.T.H.S. Printshop, an important but little publicized organization. The printshop enrollf ment is not large compared to other shops. But its work is important. Besides getting the school paper out each week they do such jobs as print posters for dances, debates, sports events and other occasions, tickets and programs for shows, dances, concerts, sports events, graduation prof grams ,all the high school oflice record forms and any number of things, too numerous to mention. One of the most important functions of the printshop is the printing of the school paper. This serves to keep a permanent record of all the school's activities. The first issue of the W World was printed in 1922 and, believe it or not, the size of that little two page edition was cifiht by ten inches, smaller than the standard notebook. One can realize the dilference in the paper then and now, but many students do not realize thc work involved in getting out just one issue. The VV XVorlcI goes to press! Plctureil lmelow are some of the m GOES TO PRESS Friday morning, for example, how many students who receive their Worlds stop to think about how much work is involved in getting that one single issue to their homeroom? Let's take a trip through the printshop and see how our paper is printed. First we need stories, ads, editorials, humorous features, sports stories, and other much needed material. The journalism classes, directed by Mr. Meslow, are the main nevvsgatherers. Their inf formation must be accurate. Who's speaking at what event? When? When is the next dance? Who sponsors it? Where is it? The data is care' fully checked for accuracy. Writing it up comes next. Members of the journalism class also take care of this. When it's all written up, it must be checked and sent down to the NeWsfSun oiiice where it is linotyped. In the meantime, ads must be set up. This ad setting is all done by hand. and must also be accurately done. There are about twentyffive ads in the paper each Week, and even though they are echanical stat? at work in the VV.T.H.S. priutshnp. 1.

Calvert Sm th, Tony YVar:ho'-vink, Adechanical Staff not all set by hand they are a major last minute headache at times. But hard work and careful work usually results in the completing of these ads in time. The gathering of these ads and other business matters are dealt with by Mr. Swan and by Mr. Schoenoff, business advisor of the Student W World. After all the copy is written and ads are set the linotype is then proofed. This means making an impression of the type in order to check it for errors. When these errors are found, they are carefully marked and these marked proofs are returned to the NewsfSun office for correcting, and are then once more brought back to the W.T.H.S. printshop. These proofs are then taken into the journal- ism room and cut apart, into story proofs. They are then placed on blank forms which are comf monly called dummies . As each page is com' pletcd, it is rushed out into the printshop where the boys take the type and lay it in forms accordf ing to the dummy page. When this work is completed, a page proof is taken in order to get out any mistake which may have not been noticed. When this is done, the paper is now ready to be run on the large cylinder press. Now the real work begins! Hundreds of ls 99 Busy Group copies are run off on the huge press. They are carefully taken and folded and if an inside page has been printed they are all inserted by hand. A group of boys forma mechanical staff and work one night a week after school and return after supper for about two hours. During this time the pages are printed, folded, and stacked. The boys are usually treated to a well deserved malted or some other treat by 'Mr. Swan upon completion of their work. But even then the work is not complete. Early Friday morning volunteer students from the jour' nalism classes trek down. to Junior 147 for the final job of delivering the papers. When the papers are delivered the process of getting the next issue goes on as before, each time striving to improve the paper. Yes, much is done in the small W.T.H.S. printshop. Much of the work is seldom heard of, but it is important. However, more will be heard of the work done by these boys through the newly formed Graphic Arts Club of which Mr. Swan is sponf sor. This is a new club formed by the boys themselves. They plan educational trips to Chi' cago for the purpose of visiting large printing concerns, etc. This is a new club, but more will he heard of it in the future.

But girls are only part of it. Johnny is also editor of the school newspaper and very much against the idea of having girls work on the staff, especially Susan and Betsy.

Vocal Music ls Popular at W. T. H. S. ROOF of the fact that everyone can sing is the sound of melodious voices heard drifting from the classes directed by Mr. G. E. Schumann of the vocal department. You don't have to be a budding McDonald to sing, and even the worst monotone can learn. It's a proven fact, if you can't sing now, can't even hold a tune, you can learn. . The two chorus classes are for beginners in music. Here the pupils are taught the rudiments of good singing. Fundamental facts are absolutely necessary, and after even one semester of chorus, any pupil should feel safe in singing before people. Oh, we don't guarantee a polished perf former, but at least you can hold your own. Now more than ever before, music is playing a part in everyones life. It is an essential factor for servicemen's morale, and it isn't so bad for civilians either. To be able to sing is something every person should be able to do. It's like read' ing or writing. You can do those, so why not sing? H Mr. Schumann has six classes every day. Two chorus classes, two voice classes. one a cappella choir, and one of Girl's Glee Club. Both boys and girls may enter the chorus, voice classes, or a cappella choir. Only girls may enter the Glee Club, of course. Each year officers for both the a cappella choir, and the Glee Club are elected. This year was no exception, and in accordance with rule, officers from both classes were elected, and are as follows: GIRLS GLEE CLUB: president, Barbara Gordon, vice president, Alice Anderson, secref tary, Elizabeth Apeland, treasurer, Anna Mae Meade. CHOIR: president, Harvey Biddlecomg vice president, Joan Fellows, secretary, Elsie Cory, treasurer, Jim Nolan. These classes have participated in many school events, outstanding of which were the baccalaureate service, commencement exercises, the Christmas and Easter programs. The big event of the year was the Band Concert, at which all music classes sang, and all the band boys played. The Glee Club presented Feast of the Little Lanterns for the Womans Club, and it was hailed as an outstanding performance. The main characters were Anna Mae Meade, Barbara Gordon, Phylis Bennett, and Delores Kresial. Music Helps Boost Morale still it remains ungiven. Maybe next year! We can hardly wait. While Mr. Shumann directs the eager chorus groups, Elizabeth Apeland accompanies. Mary Lou Moore also tickles the ivories to such popular classics as Smoke Getsin Your Eyes , Graduating from the chorus groups into the Glee Club is an event in which all sophomores take great pride. Still more eventful is the last step-the one which proves you to be really Hall reet , is to be promoted into a cappella choir. This class is the ambition of every girl and boy who can hold a tune. fAnd for some who don't seem to be quite able?j You may hear the tradi' tional griping about wearing those hot robes, but you can rest assured that beneath each purple and yellow robe beats a mighty proud heart. Due to unforeseen incidents, Trial By jury was not presented last year, as was reported in the Annual, and was refscheduled for this year. More unforeseen events somehow came up, and the question still remains, When are we giving 'Trial by Jury? There have now been two com' plete casts able and ready to give the play, but the selections from Old Plantation Days , and 'kOld Man River . l ' The thing the music department is justly proud of is their new set of music books. Music books, being very expensive and quite hard to purchase in quantity at this time, are a welcome addition to W.T.H.S. These new books contain many of the new and old songs which, although appropriate and beautiful, have been unused in programs because of the lack of music with which the classes necessarily must familiarize themselves. Newer and greater things are expected of the department in the near future, and we are sure they will live up to our highest expectations. GTRLS' GLEE Cl.l.'B.

Concert Band Pl-IOLDING the high standards of previous years, the band has again made its mark in 1944 under the fine leadership of Otto E. Graf ham. In school and community lite, the band has played a prominent part: assemblies, football and basketball games, parades, and civic affairs are some of a bandster's numerous activities. They played at the Kiwanis benefit for the grade schools, several P.T.A. meetings, R.C.T.C. inf spections, and took part in the North Chicago Armistice Day parade and ceremony. The band members are proud of the banquet they had on May 13, 1944 for all those in the band who sold twenty or more tickets to their concert May Sth. Highlights of the band year were the trips to Northwestern football and basketball games at which the band supplied the colorful music that is a part of every game. Proud we are of the Rates Tops MichiganfNorthwestern game, when the band transmitted its ine music over a coastftofcoast hook up. Running a close second to the thrills of the Northwestern games was the state contest at Glenbard High School, Glen Ellyn, Illinois. All the entries made a ine showing. First places in solos were won by: James Baldus, Robert Schuef neman, Frank Stockstill, Norman Gudmundson, and Sam Lomonaco. Cornet trio No. 1, the B flat Clarinet Quartet, and the Mixed Clarinet Quartet won first places in ensembles. Second places in solos were taken by George Drysdale, Don Benson, Bob Hurd, Russell Pugh, and Lowell Salberg. Second place ensembles were Cornet Trio No. 2, Brass Sextet and Woodwind Quin- tet: third ensembles are the Flute Trio and the Trombone Quartet. ll4 Musical Programs Are Popular Of course we must mention the two line con- certs presented in January by the band, and in May by the band and chorus, assisted by the combined Junior Band and the Elementary School Band. In January the soloists were Elma Gaut, xylarimba: Lowell Salberg, pianog and Eunice Siewart, marimba. In May, Mr. Graham feaf tured Frank Stockstill, oboe: Norman Gudmundf son, violin: and Elma Gaut, xylarimba. Their activities were brought to a height when the band finished off its year with a swell picnic. The band has had continued success with its system of military discipline, inaugurated last year. Band Officers for the first semester were as follows: Frank Stockstill, student conductor: captain, Richard Miller: lst Lts., Jack Roos and Jim Kirng 2nd Lts. Bob Swerman, John Loquidis, Alfred Hein: Master Sergeant Frank Stockstillg 1st Sergeant Edward Sweebeg Technical Sgt. Carl Bardonnerg Staff Sgt. George Drysdale: Sgt.

The medal is awarded by vote of the band to the one who, in their judgement, has been of greatest value to the band. RICH- ARD MILLER was awarded the medal in 1944. A local Musicians Union Award of S10 is given each year to the graduating band member who developed the greatest degree of musical talent. The winner in 1944 is Frank Stockstill.

Geared To War Times -. C APTAIN Iohn A. Broberg, professor of Military Science and Tactics at Waukegan Township High School to' gether with Tech. Sergeant john Holly, Mmtary Instructor, has stressed the im' portance of patrol and battle formations during this current year of intensified milif tary training. These formations have been indorsed by the war department as the most important part of R.O.T.C. training during present times. Upon arriving for his assignment as head of the local unit Captain Broberg im' mediately set up a highly intensive training program in extended order and battle form' ations which was instructed and followed At right, Captain John A. Broberg, Professor of Military Science and Tactics Technical Sergeant John Holly, Pristructov' 121 1 1 mu X V, ., I to the line by the veteran military instrucf tor, Tech. Sgt. john Holly. Captain Broberg was assigned to the Waukegan unit at the beginning of the first semester. However, after a brief stay he was transferred to a different organizaf tion. After two more transfers, he was again assigned here, where he has built an excellent unit. Tech. Sgt. Holly, a soldier since 1914, has been military instructor at Waukegan for the past twenty years under several different officers. Sgt. Holly is one of the main reasons why Waukegan has been rated as an Honor School for sixteen of the last seventeen years. ROTC STAFF OFFICERS, First Semester.

Student Officers Take Charge of Drill HE training this year has been completed through the help of student officers who def serve much credit for their work. Lieutenant Colonel John Schulz commanded the regiment the first semester along with the staff made up of Executive Major Richard Cole, Major Charles Jack, and Major Roger Larson. Lieutenant Colonel Ted Topel succeeded Schulz with the new staff of Executive Major Harvey Biddlecom, Major Robert Corbett and Major Robert Wilson, during the second semester. This year more than ever before, changes in organization have taken place. Once every week or twice a week the military department has ref ceived pamphlets notifying them of organization or tactical changes. These changes have taken place on the battlefiield and have so been brought to R.O.T.C. training. Because of this 122 increasingly complex situation it has been doubly hard on the cadets and cadets officers. Training has also been made much more rigid here to comply with the War Departments def mands. To illustrate this, three inspecting oiiicers inspected the unit this year whereas in previous years one had been sufficient. To add to the interest of the training the unit received a new stock of Cal. 30 model 1917 Inlield rifles the second semester. Extra curricular activities in military training have prosperedg rifle club oiiicers chosen for the year were as follows: President, lst Lt. Roger Lutterg Vice president, 2nd, Lt. Donald Sachsg Secretary and treasurer, Captain Henry Jeffersg and executive oihcer, Lt. Colonel Ted Topel. The drill platoon was held back this year from making trips for competition because of gas rationing but did put on three exhibition drills. lnclude Commando ln Cadet Training RAINING in the local R.O.T.C. unit this year has been the most intensive instruction in the history of Waukegaiii Township High School. Along with the cadets' regular activities in the unit Commando Training and extra circuf lar activities have taken a prominent part in the wartime instruction. Professor of Military Science and Tactics, Captain John A. Broberg, with the cooperation of Military lnstructor Tech. Sgt. John Holly, has completed a most successful year of training. Commando Training, a featured project for the past three years, has been intensified to meet the demands of the service more each week of the year. Rifle Club, a more or less luxury in the past has come into its own in the iield of Army training. The cadets themselves have readily seen the needs for these courses and have taken to them with much determination. At the Federal Inspection held May 16, the inspecting officer found the unit in excellent shape and again announced Waukegan to be an HONCR HIGH SCHOOL, a title held by Wauf kegan for sixteen of the last eighteen years. In addition to regular commando exercises this year, state physical tests have been installed. A minimum number of each exercise has been stated for the cadet to equal or surpass. The tests are stiff and so prepares the cadets for the future. By far the most cadets at this school surpass the initial number by quite a margin. Most of the commando work has been held in the Gym, however, in the later days this spring commando obstacles have been erected to facilif tate the outdoor instruction. The first of these obstacles was a seven foot wall to scale. This being one foot under Army regulation works the cadets from the bottom up to the 8, 12, and 14 foot Army walls. The W.T.H.S. physical training program has made great strides in this field this year and promises greater strides in the future. ROTC RIFLE CLUB.

They distribute posters and arouse an interest in coming activities in the world of sports. They assist in the sale of tickets and serve refreshments at the football games. However, this club had a new and highly im' portant task to do this year. They have encourf aged the sale of war bonds and stamps. Qur school has been making an excellent effort to meet our goal, A Jeep A Week . At this writ' ing the amount of sales total 547,389.90 Very likely we will hit 350,000 before the year is up. This club sponsored a 'sleep Assembly during the year. At this time we had bought seven jeeps. This is an important part of our school contribuf tion, and with the Athletic Publicity Club to urge us on, we will make a fine showing. Mr. White is the sponsor of this industrious club. Oilicers elected were Victoria Mitrikeff, president, Shirley Evans, vice presidentg Bob Hund, secretary-treasurer. Another project that this club has worked on for the school is the Honor Roll Plaque for Serf vicemen which now hangs in the Junior Building. To date the plaque contains the names of 3127 individuals of which number fortyffour are marked with gdld stars indicating that they are missing in action. I I 1 A'l'lll.ETlC Plilil.lCl'1'Y CLUB.

Cole, as sponsor, and Norma June McHoes as president, is doing a solid job in promoting school spirit. After leading and teaching new yells at pep rallies throughout the football and basketball seasons, they ended their year of cheering by sponsoring the Megaphone Hop . A picnic in the spring brings to an end 131 the activities of this energetic club. Uutstanding cheerleaders throughout the season were Phyllis Nitche, Annabeth Shea, Dolores Delkus, Norma June McHoes and Shirley Liedes. No matter what the Weather the girls were always on the job, either on the bench at Weiss Field in the honored spot beside the team, or dashing around the floor in the gym rousing cheers and conti- dence.

Club Unites Major Lettermen HIS year's W Club, made up of major let' terfwinners in all sports, did little in the way of sponsoring programs, but succeeded in its or' iginal purpose, which is to keep the boys who participated in some major sport well united. Any boy who has won a major letter in either football, basketball, baseball, swimming, or track is eligible, in fact becomes a member of the club. There were not as many meetings held this year as in previous years as it was dillicult to assemble those engaged in sports at the time of the scheduled meetings. One of the drawbacks of such an organization is the fact that most mem' bers of the club are boys who participate in more than one sport. The club also succeeded in its very tedious duty of seeing that major letters are Worn on a proper northwestern purple sweater, and that no person is to wear a letter other than a boy who has earned one. The club was under the sponsorship of Ralph D. Brown, boys' athletic director, who handled the job very capably. Oihcers of the club for the school year were as follows: president, Sam Romeo, vice' president, John Schulz, secretary, Bonzo O'Donnellg treasurer, Bruce Bairstow. Football Retains Traditional Popularity IIE percentage column is not always a true scale of measurment of a team's strength and ability. This is true about Waukegan's Varsity Football team of 1943. The manpower problem took its toll. Many of our promising boys from the 42 squad were called into service while others were employed helping the war cause. However, Coach Mark Wilson and his assistant, Jack Morley, in spite of limited material, were able to whip a team which was feared by all opponents. The tinal scores or results did not rellect the ability and tight of our team. In several of the games which we lost, the team out-played or out-scored the oppo- nents for 3 quarters of the game. Lack of reserves and exhaustion from hard playing in the first three quarters had its effect in the final quarter of the game. The team in general was better than average on defense, which was attributed to the fine playing of the line and splendid kicking on the part of John Schulz. The offense was centered around the fleet footed Bruce Bairstow who was a threat at all times with his smashes through tackle or around end. The picture would not be complete without mentioning the brilliant performance of Tink Kittelll, who up to the time of Gordon Fiddymentls injury saw little action, and the fine play of Dixon, Obenauf, O'Donnell, Burgett, Della Valle, Hill, and Shea. Many of these boys will not be around when equip- ment will be issued this fall, but with the promising material available Waukegan will have a team to be reckoned with in 1944. VARSITY SUMMARIES Waukegan 21 Roosevelt 13 Having command of the ball from the opening kick off to the final gun, Waukegan was able to defeat Roosevelt of Chicago 21 to 13. Bruce Bairstow, Roger Obenauf, Lyle Burgett, and John Schulz sparked the locals to a victoryg while Frazes, Schawel and Hende- shot were Roosevelt's outstanding players. Evanston 13 Waukegan 7 In the Suburban League opener, Waukegan lost a hard fought game to Evanston. The lirst score of the game came when John Schulz went through center for n 64 yard run to a. touchdown. In the third quarter, Evanston took over the ball on Waukegan's 48 yard line and were able to score on 8 successive plays. In the last minutes of the game, Evanston again scored when Haut intercepted a pass intended for Charlie Whiteleather and raced SO yards to make the final score 13 to 7. VARSITY FOOTBALL.

Singer, Scores Do Not Tell Whole Story Oak Park 14 Waukegan 7 Waukegan 33 Highland Park 7 But for a blocked punt late in the fourth quarter, the story might have been much different today. Oak Park blocked a Waukegan punt late in the game and marched to the Waukegan goal line for the points that spelled the difference between a 7-7 tie and the 14-7 verdict that was ultimately posted on the scoreboard. Waukegan unveiled a lusty attack and a sturdy defenseg actually they out-played the unbeaten Oak Parkers a greater part of the engagement. John Schulz, Lyle Burgett, and Isaac Coles were the outstanding per- formers for Waukegan. New Trier 28 Waukegan 7 New Trier flashed its high-powered offensive at the outlet of the game, driving nearly 80-yards on a sus- tained march only to lose the ball on Waukegan's 2- yard line. In the second quarter, however, New Trier hit pay dirt after combing several successful paces with line plunges. Harvey added the extra point. Waukegan had the ball on New Trier's 4-yard line with 4 downs to go but the gun sounded ending the half before they were able to start a play. In the third quarter Bruce Bairstow broke in the clear for a. 70-yard gallop to a touchdown. Bairstow also converted for the extra point. In the last quarter New Trier tallied with three more touchdowns making the final score 28 to 7. Combining a powerful offensive on the ground with an aerial assault that all but swept Highland Park off the field, Waukegan was able to deal Highland' Park a crushing defeat. Waukegan scored one touchdown in the second quarter, two in the third and two in the fourth. Waukegan 13 Morton 7 .On a cold rainy day, a small crowd watched Coach Mark Wilson's gridders knock Morton out of a tie for the league championship. Morton was the first to scoreg this came when John Tuma fired a short pass to Jim Dvorak. There was no scoring done until Wau- kegan climaxed a 50-yard drive with a pass from Della Valle to Bairstow. Waukegan scored the winning touch- down in the last period when Tink Kittell intercepted a pass to set the stage for a drive that ended with Bruce Bairstow going over for the tinal touchdown. Proviso 12 Waukegan 7 After a drive deep into Waukegan territory, Proviso was able to score on a 14 yard run by Foulkes. Proviso then kicked off to Waukegan, who immediately launched an 80 yard drive to their first touchdown. The second half started with the score 7 to 6 in Waukegan's favor, but in the third quarter, after a series of passes and runs, Proviso was again able to score making the final score 12 to 6. Underclassmen Play Full Schedule, HE FroshfSoph squad which reported to Coaches Singer and Hughes was green and unexperienced. There were only four or five boys on the squad who had had competitive experience. However, they were an ambitious and willing group, with a determination to learn, and with a spirit of cofoperation. As the season progressed and compef tition became stiffer this team developed from a mediocre team to a formidable oppof nent at the close of the season. Coach Sing' er stated at the end of the season, This is one time when I can truthfully say that I regret the season has ended. The boys have just begun to click. At least six of the boys will be on next season's S team, and should make a good showing. FROSH FOOTBALL The Freshman squad of 1943 was not a strong team and did not win many games due to the fact that many of the Freshmen were on the FroshfSoph team. However, Coaches Anderberg and Fortier did a splendid job and produced a few promising boys who may be heard from in future an' nals of W.T.H.S. grid competition.

Varsity Cagers Lose Stars WAUxEom's Varsity cagers, coached by R. D. VARSITY SQUAD Brown, had one of the most disastrous seasons on record from a scoring: standpoint. Their record of a single win against sixteen losses was caused mainly by the loss of Walter James, colored star, to the army, while both Gordon Rankin and jim Hill moved to other parts of the country. With these three sharp- shooters returning, the local squad would have been composed of four Varsity veterans and one Junior Var- sity player. With only Johnny Schulz and Charles Yump Della Valle returning, Junior Varsity veterans composed the remainder of the squad. In the Suburban League, the local aggregation cap- tured last place with one win against nine league de- feats, with Tom Pasiewicz the leading scorer. This record does not tell all, for Waukegan, although lacking in height, had plenty of fight and spirit. The most thrilling game of the season proved to be the only game the local squad won. The fracas was a nip and tuck battle all the way, and in the final seconds the local tive turned on the pressure and defeated Oak Park 33-30. Next season's squad should see the return of three Varsity lettermen and the complete Junior Varsity, al- though several oi the boys may be drafted.

The local team had what seemed to be a powerful five, but this was one of those seasons when other schools also had impressive teams. An outstanding character- istic of the squad was their clever hall handling with jim Pano Elshury pacing the team throughout the season. Although losing seven league games while winning but three, the local ive was a scrappy outfit, and the boys really def served to finish in the higher bracket.

Swimmers Set Enviable Record WITH seven -returning letter-men, Coach Jack Mor- ley organized a swimming squad which was worthy of his leadership. This squad compiled a record of wins which ranks with the great teams ol' Waukegan. Around the nucleus of Wally Nystrom, Ed Stanulis, Glen Johnson, Jack Monahan, Dick Dunne and Lippy Gray, grew the Purple and Gold avalanche which rolled over such stiff competition as Highland Park, Evanston, Morton, Proviso and Kenosha. Waukegan's only losses came at the hands of the State Champion New Trier squad and powerful Oak Park. Besides the above, Jack Fries, Henry Warnecke, Bill Leatherman, Bob Stites and Lawrence Jenwien showed great promise and are expected to be out-standing next year. At the annual Suburban meet, the Morleymen scored places in the 200 yard free style-relay and diving. Mel Fredbeck, Glen Johnson, Wally Nystrom and Eddy Stanulis combined their efforts to place third in the re- lay wh3le.Norm Lippy Gray copped a second in the ancy wing. Next year's squad has a difiiicult place to till, but with the able guidance of Mentor Morley the outlook is rilliant.

Although the competitive scores do not show the improvements made, Coach J. J. Morley expects a strong balanced squad next year. Dick Hall, Squirt Emerich and Bob Dorband are expected to carry the brunt of next season. In the Suburban league, Tyke Hide and Squirt Emerich placed second and third respectively in the diving, while the relay team, Hyde, Dietz, Jenewien, and Hall, iinished third.

Waukegan also rolled over all dual competition, defeating Libertyville, Ken' osha, Lake Forest, and Highland Park by large scores. The locals' leading performers for the season were Captain Al Jelling, Dick Schwartz, Walter James, Bob Corf bett, Bob Norwood, Charlie Whiteleather, Bruce Bairstow, Frank Neimi, Dick Shul' tis, Al Girardi, and Gordy Rankin.

After the ride we went to the clubroom where we had sandwiches, cookies, and cocoa. We dancedlto the music of Harry James Con recordl. On May 17 Joan Darrow and Mary Lou Morley organized a splash party for G.A.A. girls. After the splash party we went to the cafeteria where we ate every conceivable form of food. It was a pot-luck supper and everyone brought more than enough. During the last week of school we had a turn-about picnic. Again the girls asked their one-and-onlys and went to Dunes Park. Everyone had a grand time with no homework to worry about. Dolores Lamborn and her committee saw their plans to a beautiful finish. Virginia Pavlik organized a play day for grade school girls about to enter high school. Games were played and refreshments served in the clubroom. Three girls from each school were chosen to attend.

Industry has long offered more opportunities for young Americans than all other fields of endeavor. And that isnit surprising since the products of industry made our country great in peacetime . . . and are now' shifting the scales of war in our favor. With the amazing development of American industry in recent years have come greater opportunities for successful carrers than ever before. Just as industrial jobs are requiring more and more know-how , so have opportunities increased for men and women with sound educational backgrounds. Waukegan is fortunate in having a great variety of mod- ern businesses which offer the beginner a wide choice for his life's work. In the industries of this community are to be found prom- ising roads to success. SURIM Eli JOBS Last year more than a hundred high school students and teachers. and graduates expecting to continue their studies in the fall or awaiting their call to the Service, spent their summer vacation helping produce materials for war at our Waukegan factory. They gained valuable experience while earn- ing money. ' 1 ' This year we hope twice as many will come to work in the plant during the summer months. If you are sixteen or older andx will have spare time this summer, drop around at our employment office at the plant to learn what kind of a job we have open for you.
