After the presentation of our freshman as- sembly, the first maior issue of our new career was the selection of class officers. We chose Al Seith for president: Ronnie Carlson, vice-president: and Anne Caughey, treasurer. Because of a tie, Ann Austin and Ann Bobo each served as secre- tary for one semester. Our varsity basketball team ranked third in the Sweet Sixteen tournament in '49, and we think we were very lucky to be a part of a high school with such a marvelous record. As sophomores we got growing pains and de- cided that the freshmen would look up to us. We added many extra-curricular activities to our pro- gram - among them were giving our fresh-soph dance, the Shillelagh Stompng campaigning and winning the issue of building a new West high: and practicing writing source themes. We elected Dick Little as our class president, Joyce Rolf as vice- president, Mary Jane l-ladfield as secretary, and Nancy Dabney as treasurer. Along with the thrill of becoming upperclassmen came many new extra activities and privileges. We presented the Junior Class Play, Our Miss Brooks, with Dolly Brence and Bob Schumacher taking the leading roles. Our Junior Prom, 'iMelody In Blue, was con- sidered a huge success. The silver and blue theme was carried out through the decorations and pro- grams. ln the fall we elected Bob Bergman to serve as our class president, Tom Meidell as vice-presi- dent, Sue Finley as secretary, and Dick Fletcher as treasurer. When nearing the end of our spring semester, and after careful political campaigns, we elected Bob Schumacher for our president, Scott Power as vice-president, Mary Jane l-ladfield as secretary, and Dick Little as treasurer. Along with the campaigning for class officers, came the Stu- dent Council elections. Al Seith, Tom Meidell, Roberta Steiner, and Dick Fletcher were chosen to serve as president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. Nineteen hundred fifty-two proved to be a doubly joyous year for the W. A. girls. Besides being their Senior year, it was also Leap Year. Maybe this is one reason the Senior Dance, the Winter Whirl, was so successful. No doubt the Christmas decora- tions had a lot to do with it, though. On February 29, Miss Reathel Bielefeldt, our Powder Puff Mayor, arrested Mr. Pinnow and two of our stu- dent teachers. Although during final exams many of us thought we were looking forward to graduation, all of us felt a little sentimental when we heard the first strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' Gayle Tre- main, Bob Schumaker, Al Seith reflected the opin- ions of our class in their graduation addresses.

THE JUNIOR CLASS . . . It's hard to remember the time when the class of '53 entered West l-ligh. Many different things awaited them - stair monitors, homework, people and teachers to meet, clubs, and assemblies. To start on their way, they chose Chuck Hughes for president, who was assisted by Dick Lehman, vice- presidentp Mariean'VVhitson, secretary: and Martha Smith, treasurer. Aided by Mr. Carl l-lafenrichter, advisor, their class led a busy year: the highlight being the frosh-soph dance, The Shillelagh Stomp, in the spring. As sophomores they felt right at home. Jack Jordan, Ken Kunkle, Beverly Shawl, and Peggy Masur were elected president, vice-president, sec- retary, and treasurer. Oetting into the swing of things, with palm trees and hula girls, their float, Aloha to Joliet won a first place for the class in the homecoming parade. March lO found the gym turned into a beautiful garden for the annual frosh- soph dance, Springtime Swing. The last step be- fore becoming upper classmen was the decorating of the auditorium and gym for baccalaureate and commencement. Sweet sixteen, 0 Junior, and everthing is won- derful. Arnie Saaf, president: Jerry Moody, vice- president: Mary Jane Schultz, secretary: and Mar- iorie Stroud, treasurer paved the way, while Dwight Arundale, Leonard Peterson, Pat Masur, and Miriam Faircloth made up the cabinet. Mr. Carl l-lafen- richter, advisory Mr. l-l. F. Meyer, counselor: Mr. C. J. Nebergal, Miss Reathel Bielefeldt, Mr. R. L. l-lerget, and Mrs. Thelma Maze helped guide the class. Many new experiences again awaited them- senior A Cappella for the musically inclined, foot- ball, basketball, track, golf, and tennis for the ath- letic. Those dramatically inclined people put forth their efforts into the Junior Class play, A Case of Springtime. The committees and cast made the romantic comedy one to remember. Dressed in red and blue snow pants, and armed with skiis, the Junior class slid to victory in the Homecoming parade, the motto of their float being, We'll Slide Over the Rabsf' This makes the third win in three years. No one can forget the pot-lucks before the gamesg the crowded concession stands: the con- ventions that those lucky few got to attend: art and prose contests: and, of course, the choosing of the class ring. Oh! Those dreadful Illinois State tests everyone was required to take! Elections for class and Student Council officers, and for the EOS and Red and Blue staffs were eagerly participated in. And last of all, how can one forget the Junior prom! The gym was a picture for all of us to remember. Onward ......

PAGE 40 FRESHMAN CLASS . . . This year's lreshman class presented a superb assembly lost lall. The program varied trom solo tap dances to ukulele and guitar ensembles. The Kirklin brothers made such a hit with their cow- boy songs that they were called back several times by the audience ot upperclassmen. To the freshmen, entering high school was a new and delightful experience. Since the class, with its 246 members, was the largest in W.A.'s history, expert guidance was necessary. Atter caretul consideration and campaigning, the class elected Donald Doc l-lughes as president, Diana Pohl as vice-president, Virginia Rossman as secretary, and Janice Cain as treasurer. Jim Bridgetord, Bill l-tall, and Pat Ream completed the class board. The upperclassmen welcomed the lreshies in several ways. A picnic was sponsored by the Big Sisters in honor ol the lreshmen girls. They worked up an appetite by seeking articles tor a scavenger hunt and then roasted their lrank- turters and marshmallows over the tires at Phillips Park. The Girls' Club also welcomed the fresh- men with a tea in their honor in October. The Student Council extended the greeting hand by sponsoring an alter-game dance in our gym- nasium. The first Co-l-li ol the year, presented by our P.T.A., also welcomed the treshmen. The glee club and band members inaugurated the new music annex this year. Probably by their senior year they will be able to sing at the new high school. We all hope so! The annual Fresh-Soph dance, given in the spring, was a huge success. All class members, especially those on the boards, worked diligently on the name, decorations, and refreshments. Football and basketball games, exams, dances, l-lomecoming, crowded hallways, and pot-lucks were all new to the treshmen. With the guidance ot Miss Louise Lane, the treshmen class advisor, the class iustitied itselt rapidly.

This year's Voice ot the People was led by Al Seith, presi- dent, Tom Meidel, vice-presidentg Roberta Steiner, secretary: and Diclc Fletcher, treasurer. Social lite is an important part ol the councils' activities. A dance honoring the freshmen was sponsored to help the Htreshies get acquainted. There was an atter game dance in Qctober and then the big event ol the year - Homecoming. In accordance with tradition, the students took chorge ot the day's events. The parade, in spite ot the low club population, was the biggest in West l-ligh's history. Colored movies ot the parade were talcen and shown at the February council meeting. The crowning ot the queen at the pep-assembly, and the dance alter the game with East Roclatord, made the day one to remember. Pep Committee members are: Front Row, Mary Ann Richmond, Mary Ellen Connolly, chairman, and Susan Filips. Second Row, Dotty Staiger, Alice Noble, Bette Crimmins, and Alice Stewart. Not present are Sally Dienst and Anne Caughey. No major organization seems complete without a tew conventions to attend. On November l7th, tour elected iuniors and the otticers ot Student Council journeyed to the l-linsdale convention, where Al Seith gave a lorty minute lcey-note ad- dress on citizenship and character. Al was so well received that before the end ot the year, he had been aslced to spealc at at least twenty ditlerent schools, including a commencement speech in north- ern lllinois. A Al and two representatives were priveleged to attend the three day state convention in Peoria, April 22, 23, and 24. When the gavel was rapped it was time tor business.

Numbed by winter winds, the marching band goes through its daily routine on the Walnut Street side of the building. To the upper classmen, there seemed to be some- thing missing early this year. No one realized until the first pep meeting when the band burst forth with its stirring Roll On Blaclchawlcsu The lost friend had been the sound of the band wafting from the auditorium. West Aurora's '52 band had definitely helped to inaugurate the new music: ad- dition. Proof of the members' hardiness was exhibited during football season. Our marching band faith- fully reported for those 7:30 a.m. rehearsals and slfillfully performed formations between the halves of the home games. ln mid-season they enjoyed being the guest band at Roc:lcford's game. Thanlcs- giving Day they executed' their formations at East's muddy field. Director Warren Feltsg drum major, Doug Beatty: and twirlers Tex Brease, Bobby Jean Thomas, and Carmen l-lale, led the marching band through a PAGE 60 successful season. Flag twirlers were Barbara Con- way, Marilyn Loeber, Kay Siegmund, and Doris Snyder. Also in the toll the band and the choir combined to give a concert of varied types of music. Later in the year the young maestros presented the an- nual school assembly. During spring vacation the band took its tour through Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky. Bake sales, scrap drives, and rag campaigns were sponsored to help raise funds for the tour. All of the band members worked diligently on these projects, encouraged by their very hard working officers: Dale Whiteside, presi- dent, Ron Carlson, vice-president: Bonnie Roe, sec- retary, and Dick l l-louz l Little, treasurer. The District Contest was held in our new music addition. Winners went on to the State at Cham- paign. May 4 found the band participating with other groups in the surrounding area for the Fox Valley Music Festival. The annual banquet was also held in May. The eventful year was suitably closed with Pomp and Circumstancen at commencement. . is X 7 Band officers were Dale Whiteside, president: Ronnie Carlson, vice-president: Bonnie Roe, secretary: and Dick Little, treasurer. Leading the band this year were Bobby Something new this year at West High were our flag twirlers, Doris Snyder, Kay Jean Thomas, Norma Jean Breese, and Siegmund, Marilyn Loeber, and Barbara Conway.

PAGE as TP 0 ORCHESTRA 0 The orchestra, under the able direction of tvtr. Warren Felts, has just completed one of its most successful years. Led by Prexy Kathryn l-leitlcotter, the twenty-two members practiced during fourth period every day in the brand new music addition. Veep, Brenda Banistery secretary, Caryl Sue Fowler, and treasurer, Gayle Evans were three other reasons for the groups' success. On March I4, all of the members, with the Junior A Capella Choir, presented a concert in our auditorium. Besides being the first concert of our orchestras history, it was the first time the two groups had performed together. -they presented two combined numbers. Since the orchestra was composed almost entirely of freshmen and sophomores, it is expected that there will be an even larger number of members next year. Freshman Eugene Wagner, who recently arrived in this country from Germany, added spice to the daily meet- ings by relating some of his many exciting and interesting experiences to the other members. Eugene, who plays the violin, began his study of the instrument while he was in Germany. 'X First Row 1 G. Boucon, J. A. Hill, P. Decller, J. Tindell, A. Johnson, R. Williams. Second Row - C. S.

The baton at Mr. Sten G. l-laltvarson waves proudly over this year's Junior Choir. l-le can justly be proud ot this group and the strides they have taken. The tirst concert ot the year was the annual P.T.A. Christmas Program. Since then, many small ensembles have given concerts. These groups have presented their work at places such as Lincoln School, Richards-Wilcox, the Tom- A-l-lawk chaperone Open l-louse, and various P.T.A. programs all over town. Each year Mr. l-laltvarson challenges his music groups with new proiects. This year, many ot these challenges have been aimed at the Junior Choir, and they have met them with the ease oi proiessionals. ln past years the Senior Choir has had to bear most ot the burden ot concerts, but this year, the Junior Choir has accepted more responsibility than ever betore. Their adaptability to ditticult situations has made Mr. l-laltvarson very proud ot this group. Perhaps the most outstanding achievement oi the year by this group was the concert given on March I4. At this concert, the Junior choir combined with the Orchestra. This was the tirst attempt made at anything ot this kind by either ot the groups and it proved very successful. Many ot the songs sung by the Junior Choir are ot Senior Choir level. ln tact, most of the songs were sung by the Senior Choir last year and have been handled with the same skill by the Junior Choir this year. Some ot these songs are Heavenly Light, Rise Arise, Agnus Dei, The l-leovens Resoundf' Fair Are the Meadows, and Old Buttermilk Sky. Mr. l-taltvarson has been aided throughout the year by the very capable otticers elected by the choir. These otticers are Robert Meyers, president: Bill l-lart, vice-president: and Shirley Teichen, secretary-treasurer.

With Bonnie Lane holding the reins as president, Dianna Pohl second-in-command as vice-president, and Jeanette Denning controlling the records and purse strings as secretary-treasurer, the Freshman Girls' Glee Club had a very successful year. Mr. Sten G. l-lalfvarson, director, has done a fine iob in training these young prospective A Cappella Choir members. l-le has introduced sight reading exercises plus drills on tone and pitch to improve their slcills. Results of his hard worlf have shown in the concerts they have given. The girls started their concerts with the annual P. T. A. Christmas program. For this presentation they sang f-low Sweet the Bells of Christmas, Wall4in' in a Winter Wonderland, and The Sleigh Ride. At the concert given forthe student body on February 20, the girls sang, A Green Cathedral, Midnight Serenade. and Little David, Play on Your l-larp. Gn both occasions the girls handled these new, more difficult numbers with ease. In past years, the Girls' Glee Club has played a comparatively small part in school activities, but this year, the girls have gained more recognition. A decided aid to Mr. l-lalfvarson in teaching these young people was the new music addition. This new annex enabled the group to carry on its practice sessions without inter- ruption. Besides the aid of improved facilities, Mr. l-lalfvarson has had a group of able, and willing young women in the Freshman Girls' Glee Club. Certainly this group will talce its place high in the musical organization of West l-ligh. FRESHMEN GIRLS' GLEE CLUB ROSTER fPicture at leftl Row 1 - J. Lipsey, M. Lull, D. Pohl, B. Lipscomb, J.

FRESHMEN BOYS' GLEE CLUB . . . The Freshman Bays' Glee Club was led this year by Jim Moberly as president. Assisting Jim in his execu- tive duties were Bill Sandell, vice-president, and David Krause, secretary-treasurer. The boys have made very noticeable gains this year under the hand of their director, Mr. Sten G. Flalf- varsan. Their initial concert of the year was the annual P. T. A. Christmas concert, in which they made a very fine showing. Some of the songs they sang are: Soft Shadows Falling, O Sanctissimaf' and Good Christian Men Rejoice. Mr. l-lalfvarsan then decided that the boys had improved enough to tackle other concerts: therefore, this year has been a very busy and successful one for the Glee Club. Many ofthe concerts previously handled by ensembles from the Junior Choir and the Senior Choir, were talcen over by the freshmen boys. Same of this improvement is due to the tact that Mr. l-lalfvarson introduced sight reading exercises to the boys and began drilling them on tone quality, diction, and phrasing. Along this some line is something which has made Mr. f-lalfvarson very proud ofthe boys. Their attitiude and stage department has boosted the boys very high in the eyes of both their directors and their audiences. At the concert given forthe student body on Feb. 20, the boys showed the results of their training. They showed the confidence which is necessary for all good performers. Mr. l-lalfvarson even went so far as to pick eight boys at random from the group and had them sing a song that hadn't been practiced. The boys proved that the training they had received had made them fine future Junior and Senior Choir members. Some other songs sung at this concert were Climbin' Up the Mountain, Now Thank We All Our God, f-loly Lord God, and Who Did? The responsibility of learning new and more difficult songs was one of the factors which made the boys conscious of the faith Mr. l-lalfvarson had in their ability. All these things, combined with the support of the entire school, have made the Freshmen Boys' Glee Club a working. moving part of the West l-ligh machine.

Members of the f:reshmen-Sopho- more Music Appreciation Club will long remember the colorful excerpts of Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. The music lovers traveled with the Junior- Senior Music Appreciation Club. This cultural excursion toolx place on Oc- tober 30. Mr. Warren Felts, director of the West l-ligh instrumental music depart- ment, headed the club. Aiding the ad- visor were four junior officers, Ann Larson, presidentg Lois Fredriclcson, vice-president, Cheryll Yount, secre- tary, and Brenda Banister, treasurer. Later in the year, the club attended an opera, which proved a new and different experience for some of the members who had never before seen an opera. At each meeting two members were responsible for the program. Through- out the year the club listened to rec- ords. reported on musicians, and learn- ed to realize the art of beautiful music. JUNIOR-SENIOR MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB . . So that Mr. Sten O, lsflalfvarson, director of the Junior-Senior Music Appreciation Club, wouldn't have to solo, he was assisted by a trio of Stu- dent performers. These officers were Carol Lundin, president: Judy Mess, vice-president: and Roberta Steiner, secretary-treasurer. One purpose of the club is to build up W.A.'s library of music. The main event on the program was the group's trip to see excerpts per- formed by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo at the Civic Opera l-louse in Chicago on October 30, l95l. ln an effort to place a crescendo on individual student participation, music- ally talented students presented a pro- gram. Dolly Brence played two piano solos, Dorothy Teichen and Sally Siostrand each sang solos, and o selected octette performed for the group. With Director Felts are, left to right, Cheryll Yount, Ann Larson, and Brenda Banister of the Freshman-Sophomore Music Appreciation Club. PAGE 70 COMMERCIAL CLUB . . . l-lelping design the plans for the activities of this year's Commercial Club were the officers, Ethel lvlarema, president: Carol Fairbanks, vice-presi- dentg and Nancy Kraus, secretary- treasurer. Mr. l-lugo Peterson and Miss Reathel Bielefeldt, master craftsmen, kept the young apprentices under their watchful eyes. The year's activities were devoted to teaching all of the members correct business procedures. This was accom- plished by engaging a representative from the Telephone Company to speak and by touring the modern offices of the Stephens-Adamson and Barber- Greene Companies. A few duties that the members per- formed were managing the supply store, acting as cashiers in the cafe- teria during both lunch hours, super- vising all ticket sales, mimeographing tests, and typing letters for lvlr. Peter- son. Surrounding bizarre Science Club equipment are Leonard Peterson, Bob Bergman, Judy Heimdal, and Gail Larson President Ethel Marema gives typing demonstration for Nancy Kraus, left, and Carol Fairbanks, ofthe Commercial Club. SCIENCE CLUB . . . Thirty one amateur scientists con- cocted a year of varied activities. Their l-lomecoming float was 'i0ur Victory's in the Stars. The theme por- trayed by President Bob Bergman, who studied the representative stars through a telescope. l-leavenly bodies still held sway when Professor Smith of Aurora College was asked to speak on As- tronomical Qbservationu at the No- vember meeting. Officers assisting Bob were Leonard Peterson, vice-president: Judy l-leim- dal, secretaryg and Gail Larson, treas- urer. Mr. Carl l-lafenrichter, acted as sponsor. Their scientific methods made the basketball concession a big success. An especially interesting meeting for most of the members was a movie on 'fThe lvlakings of a Fire. The annual field trip to Chicago, taken during the second semester, was a profitable experience for all of the members. 0 GIRLS' CLUB 0 45 Big Sisters from lett to right.

Capturing the Big Eight debate crown was the highlight ot the year lor this year's Debate Club. Although this event was the most important one, several other occasions helped pave the road to success. At the Augustana tournament, West captured second place. Our squad competed with 35 other teams, and won eleven out ot fourteen debates. The all-important Metropolitan League seemed to place W.A. on its attirmative side also. West was one ol the sixteen schools debating, yet, they won 23 out ot thirty debates, to place third. At the DeKalb meet, West obtained its proudest win. There were litteen teams competing. Atter Our Student Council president and debate mainstay, AI Seith, shows winning speech form. PAGE 73 winning tive out ot six debates, W.A. was awarded tirst place honors!

Loolc-alilces - Anne Caughey, student director, and Mr. Marzo, director, talk over problems at the Senior Class Play. atter reading several other high school dramas, because ot its humorous, yet significant plot. The plot placed Maudie Mason lJoan Os- mondsonl under the spotlight most ot the eve- rnng. Maudie is not only involved with teaching her girl friends her technique with men, but with trying to attract Davy lBob Schumacherl, the boy next door. Atter several humorous and embarrassing moments, she manages to en- trance him. As is quite evident, no play could be a suc- cess without capable committee members. Anne Caughey, student director, was chairman ot all committee worlc. Elayne Brugger, chairman ol the make-up committee was assisted by Anita Ness, Sally Siostrand, Joanne l-lenriclcs, l-lelen Paul, Peggy Teed, Gayle Tremain, Susan Filips, Mary Ann Richmond, Mary Ellen Connolly, Barbara Stark, Alice Noble, and Bette Crim- mins. The ushers, directed by Donna lllyes, were Pat l-lailstone, Dolly Brence, Julia Reynolds, Joan l-lill, Norma Otto, Joda l-lanson, Barbara l-lerold, Marion Eredrickson, Carolyn Cromer, Donna Colton, Ann Ridinger, Nancy Dabney, Carol Phillips, Alice Stewart, and Rita Ander- son. The publicity was managed by Sue Will- ing, and her assistants were Lois Martin, Norma Jean Breese, Joyce l-lughes, Dan Lirot, Murray Parlcer, and Alice Stewart. l-land properties were managed by Sally Dienst, who was assist- ed by Roberta Steiner. Jim Claypool, stage manager, was aided by a stage crew ot Marlc Erlanson, John l-luclco, Ronnie Carlson, Scott Power, Dicls Fletcher, and Diclc Little. There could be no better way to conclude this summary ol the very successful play than by quoting Davy's last line, Wowl Men are like streetcars. lt you miss one, therels sure to be another along soon. This, Maudie Mason's philosophy, provided the basis tor the plot ol this year's Senior Class Play. Mr. Albert Marzo, director ot the play, also serves as W.A.'s Spanish and French teacher and directed this year's Junior Class Play. The popular young teacher inspired both seniors and juniors to excellent performances. Men Are Lilce Streetcarsf' a mod- ern, three-act comedy, was taken tram the boolc ol the same name, which was one ot the popular Mau- die boolcs by Graeme and Sarah Larimer.

H Prom then on it was one mishap after an- other - - - Bob lost his girlfriend for awhile, and she went to the school dance with a college boy. l-le finally won her back, but in the mean- time he spent some time in iail. Because he had found some rabbits near the zoo, Bob thought he could perfect his magic tricks. lt so hap- pened though, that the police thought that Bob had stolen them. After serving part of his short term, Bob was honorably released. lt seemed that the rabbits were valuable chinchillas from South America, and Bob had taken excel- lent care of them. l-le regained the good graces of Joan, his girlfriend, the principal: and his parents lfor they too had been angry at Bobl, which provided a happy ending for the play. l-lelping greatly to make the performances a success were the various committees. Dee Beebee was in charge of sound effects, while Jeannette Long, Martha Smith, and Miriam Faircioth did an excellent job as heads of the make-up committee. Bob Greyer was the chair- man ol hand properties, with Ronnie Reynolds as stage manager, assisted by John Lies. Bev- erly Shaw had charge of all the artwork. Mary Jane Schultz and Carol Sue Fowler served as student directors. THE JUNIOR CLASS PLAY One of the most pleasant illnesses of the year was A Case of Spring- time. which attacked Leonard Peter- son and Shirley Stadel. The symptoms were present for many weeks, and on November 8th and 9th, along with fifteen other Juniors, the stars broke out with their Case of Springtime. Mr. Marzo attended the group dur- ing the malady. Errors, action, and a humor that varied from chuckles to roars, com- bined to make this a perfect Junior class play.

Smith and Bill King were named to the Big 8 team, with Don Brown and Dave Gchsenschla- ger getting second team berths. Dick Little, Glen Davidson and Ed Anderson received hon- orable mention. WEST l-lIGl-l, playing good football in the first quarter, but then weakening, lost its season opener to NAPERVILLE I3-l2. ln losing to DE- KALB I3-7, the l-lawks showed improvement. All the scoring was done in the first half, the last two quarters being played during a rain- storm. Led by Anderson and Wagner, the l-lawk defense slowed one of the finest back fields they faced all season. Although FREEPORT weakened later in the season, they fielded a powerlul Pretzel eleven when they entertained the Blackhawks. Their strong single wing rolled to touchdowns in each period, beating our team 25-20. All our scores came on long runs - two by Smith and one by Capt. Qxie. WEST HIGH, celebrating Dads' night, de- feated LASALLE PERU I9-O for our first victory of the season. The l-lawks, showing a good de- fense, held l..P. to only 56 yards on the ground and 6 through the air. Smith accounted for lll yards and scored two touchdowns. Oxie, with ll2 yards gained, registered the last marker and kicked the extra point. Scoring all their points in first half, the l-lawks squeezed past WEST ROCKEORD 20-lo. ln the first minute of play, Oxie intercepted a Warrior pass and raced 37 yards down the sidelines for a touch- down. Smith tallied twice in the second quarter, giving the l-lawks a 20-O lead at the intermis- sion. WEST ROCKFORD scored all their points during the last eight minutes of play, giving l-lawk fans some anxious moments. The Blackhawks, playing one of their best games, lost to Joliet 20-I3 when the Steelmen racked up i4 points in the final quarter. West outgained the Steelmen 559 to 264 yards. The l-lawks led at the half I3-6 on touchdowns by Smith and Brown. Joliet rolled to the tying score midway and went out to win. Playing an alert brand of football, the l-lawks defeated EAST ROCKEORD 26-O and made this year's a per- fect l-lomecoming. Smith added to his confer- ence scoring lead with three touchdown sprints. Little, Carlson, and Whiteside played a brilliant defensive game, recovering five fumbles and making many tackles. Unable to get its offense clicking earlier, West drove to a score in the fourth period to defeat ELGIN 7-6. The Maroons scored on the second play of the game when Mapes went off tackle for a 63 yard iaunt. The conversion at- tempt was blocked. After three bitterly con- tested quarters, the l-lawks put on a despera- tion drive. After a pass from King to Reed, Smith set up the score with a sparkling dash to the ELGIN nine yard line. With the Maroon defense drawn in, King fired a pass to Brown for the tying touchdown, By making the extra point, Smith gave us revenge for i949 and 1950 defeats. Using their new spread formation to perfec- tion, the l-lawks romped over favored EAST AURORA 32-l8, in the last annual Turkey Day struggle. Although hampered by the weather, West's attack could not be mired. Smith and Brown were the offensive stars for the l-lawks. Smith, chalking up l7 points, erased the old conference scoring record. Brown, the workhorse of the backfield, passed sensationally for 80 yards and added another 43 in rushing. The l-lawk hard-charging defense, spearheaded by Oxie, proved impenetrable, which added to the west sider's attack. West Aurora's all-stater Smith T211 spins away from Joliet's all-stater Boykin l44l. Davidson U2 carries out assignment. Brown f34l, after taking a pass, crosses the goal line for the winning touchdown against Elgin. In the back- ground are Little l36i, Davidson fI2l, Runkle ll7l, and Carlson l30l. Entire Blackhawk defensive team gangs up on Elgin. Ohione f33l, Oxie fl3l, and Whiteside, lhead visible under Chiones arm make the tackle.
