Faith, the motivation behind Wheaton Academy, stands alone as the reason for its present existence. The faith of the founders, who trusted the Lord in their tremendous task of starting the school, has been rewarded in the fact that Wheaton Academy still stands for Christ and His Kingdom. Today's administration puts faith in the Lord to guide the school in every activity, that in every phase of school life, one purpose may be accomplished, that of developing Christ-centered lives in the student body and instilling in their lives that same faith that was possessed by Wheaton's founders. As we look towards the future, we exercise faith in our Lord to bring to completion the work of Wheaton Acad- emy which He started. We put our trust in Him knowing that He truly is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The north- ern part of the basement . . . was used for religious worship. During the winter there was a gracious outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and many of the stu- dents were led to come out on the Lord's side and to trust in the Saviour . . . . Until 1855, Illinois Institute was entirely a sec- ondary school, but in September of that year the state legislature granted a collegiate charter to Illin- ois Institute from whence came Wheaton College of today. The Rev. J. A. Martling was principal of the school in 1855. But in 1856, since the newly-formed college was fast becoming the prominent part of Illinois Institute, we first hear the word president mentioned, he was the Rev. Lucius C. Matlock. Miss Cholae Merric was head of the Academy. In the national financial depression of '57 and '58, Illinois Institute contracted a debt of about six thousand dollars. At that time this was an enormous sum. To quote President Matlock, We are continu- ally doing one of two bad things, either sinking deep- er into debt or consuming the vitals of the institution by devouring the endowment fund. President Mat- lock finally became so disparaging as to the future of Illinois Institute that he gravely stated, . . . it is suggested as a last resort that the trustees make as- signments announcing the immediate suspension of the Institute. After it became evident that President Matlock had been unable to put the Institute on a sound finan- cial basis he resigned from the Board of Trustees. Immediately offers were made to Jonathan Blanchard, whose record as President of Knox College had shown great ability, inspired leadership, far-sighted vision, and, although he himself was a Congrega- tionalist, he had an intimate personal relationship with the Lord of the Wesleyans. Academy graduating class of 1894. Blanchard Hall as it looked in 1880 before the east wing was added. 9 .W , ,:46,,,?,, When Blanchard resigned from Knox, he was offered various important pastorates, and the presidencies of several colleges. But he chose Wheaton because in his own words, . . . I be- lieved the Lord had need of Wheaton College, to aid the way for His coming. The state of our nation at this time will explain this. lt was 1859, and the state of our nation at this time was one of dissension, fast-mounting prejudices, and hot, embittered resentment. The Civil War was in the making. After Jonathan Blanchard arrived at Wheat- on, two maior changes in the mechanism of the school were made. First, the control was changed from the auspices of the Wesleyans to that of the Congregationalists. Second, the College and Academy, by a new charter were called Wheat- on College and Wheaton College Academy. Section eleven of Charter and By-laws of Wheaton College The Charter of the 'Illinois Institute' en- acted by the legislature of the state of Illinois, and approved February 15, 1855, is hereby repealed, and the present char- ter substituted in its place, and all manner of property, privileges, and immunities, therein granted to the trustees of the 'Illin- to vest cis Institute' are hereby declared in the trustees of Wheaton College, and all of the debts, contracts, and obligations former institution are good in law against the trustees of Wheaton College. The new name came about when, after Warren L. Wheaton had made a generous gift of land to the school, a friend and trustee, Dr. A. H. Hiatt proposed that the college and acad- emy should be called Wheaton. Rev. George P. Kimball became dean of the academy in 1863, and was followed by Bartlett Hardy Weston two years later, at the end of the Civil War. The Civil War shook a nation . . . . . . but Wheaton stood firm Jonathan Blanchard not only lifted Wheaton out of its financial rut, but by his great efforts, the west end of the main building of Wheaton College, now called Blanchard Hall, was com- pleted, where for many years Academy classes were held. Not only were the material resources of Wheaton strengthened during the administration of Jonathan Blanchard, but this man of God embodied a solidarity of purpose which has been so vital and unique a part of the person- ality of the academy throughout these one hundred years. During Jonathan Blanchard's Administration, he had to cope with some dif- ficult problems. At times most bitter conflicts emerged, but like America's Civil War, these conflicts were consummated in victory for the right. Under President Blanchard's positive lead- ership, opposition only served to strengthen and clarify the original position of the founding fathers. Had not this direct opposition from within and without taken place in these early years to strengthen and crystallize Wheaton's evangelical position perhaps her firm stand, For Christ and His Kingdom would have been undermined or destroyed by 1953. Built to be used as the lndustrial Building, this building housed Wheaton College Academy from 1914 to 1944. The principals of the academy up until 1872 were, Eliot Whipple - 1866-1869 Jacob Ellis - 1869-1870 W. H. Fischer - 1870-1872 In 1872, Charles A. Blanchard was asked by the president, this own fatherh to become principal of the academy. He kept this position for five years. In 1877, he became vice-president of the college, and later, when his father retired in 1882, he was elected by the trustees to the presidency. President Charles A. Blanchard, like his father, proved to be a man of great vision. Under his administration, new building plans were launched which greatly increased the fa- cilities of the College, and hence, of the Acad- emy. Until 1914, Academy and College students used the same classrooms and dormitories, at- tended the same social functions, and studied under the same faculty. But included in Presi- dent Blanchard's building plans was one ln- dustrial Building built in 1902. ln 1914, this building was designated for academy use, the first in a series of steps toward giving the acad- emy a heritage of its own. Darien A. Straw was dean of the Academy from 1882-1910. He assisted in raising the aca- demic standards of the Academy. Dr. Straw was succeeded by Dean Walter S. Pemberton who remained in office until 1915. William F. Rice then became the new dean. When Dr. Rice began his term of service, the nation was headed towards World War I. But, although stormy years were ahead for the nation, and indeed, the whole world, Wheaton Academy was being led by a man of vision and years of promise lay ahead for the school. Under the administration of Dr. Rice, the Acad- emy became a member of the North Central As- sociation, and as such, an accredited school of Class A. This rating is still maintained today. Jesse W. Doolittle was dean of the Academy from 1922-1924. A highlight of these years was the organization of the first distinct Academy literary society. The idea was proposed to the senior class who enthusiastically took it up. They called themselves the Kreitonians . In 1924, when Edward R. Schell became dean, Wheaton Academy had come a long way from the unfinished stone building on the barren prairie in 1853. And Dean Schell saw even great- er things ahead. One instance of the way he worked is the story of the library. ln 1924, when Dean Schell was installed, the library consisted of a small bookcase containing a few technical books. But when he left in 1949, the Academy library boasted 2500 circulating books, twenty complete sets of reference books, and one hun- dred pamphlets. During a year's leave of absence for Dean Schell, to do graduate study in 1927, Enoch C. Dyrness served as acting Dean, leaving this position in 1928 to become Registrar of the col- lege. Many changes in curriculum were made during these twenty-five years to aid students in a changing society. Some of the newer courses added were, industrial geography, commercial law, home economics, American democracy, typing, physiology, general science, and journal- ism. Miss Gudrun Thorlakson, in her History of Wheaton Academy, wrote in 1944, of Dean Schell's administration, Under Dean Schell there has been constant progress, there is nothing static in his administration. Every part of the building is being utilized, and plans for greater efficiency are constantly being made. ln 1945, the College trustees purchased the Prince Crossing School for Crippled Children from the University of Chicago. Mr. C. B. Hurst was director of the Academy the first year on its new campus. After one year Dean Schell took over the administrative reins again. Many changes were made in the campus 18 Dr. Darien A. Straw, Dean from 1882 to 1910. Devoted to the work of the Academy, he did much to put the school on a sound basis, scholastically and materially and in the buildings to facilitate normal school life, so that by 1949, when Dean Schell retired, the school was completely equipped with boys' and girls' dormitories, ten classrooms, library, kitchen and dining facilities, a large modern gymnasium, and accomodations for five faculty families. In 1949, Rev. Robert l. Gilbert succeeded Dean Schell as Director of the Academy. Under his administration, plans were made and com- pleted for the chapel which is now one of the most attractive buildings on the campus. The great moving of the Lord at Wheaton College in 1950, which came to be known in newspapers across the land, as the Wheaton revival , really began the week before at the Academy, when Torrey Johnson of the Youth for Christ movement was speaker at the fall evangelistic services. The words of the anony- mous alumnus of 1855 fit. . . . many students were led to come out on the Lord's side . . . In 1953'Rev. Gilbert left the academy to serve the Lord at the First Baptist Church in Wheaton. He was succeeded for a semester by Mr. Thomas J. Crofts, whose tireless efforts brought about many improvements in the phys- ical plant of the school. Years of labor . . . AWA!

Why tell the story of the past unless the present really is the fulfillment of what was once a dream, the living evidence of what a few men dared to imagine? Why de- vote these few pages to history unless today is proof that when men in the past thought they were being led by God's own hand, they really were? The rest of our yearbook is given over to today's story and the future. So it is not for us to go into all the exciting and interesting details of everyday life at Wheaton Academy today. But let us answer the questions we have raised. Why did we tell this story? The founding fathers wanted their children's education to be based upon the Bible and centered in Christ. That was 1853. But what about 1953? Cyril Garrett has iust taken over the the administrative reins of the Academy, and the Lord's stamp of approval has been given in the form of a new awaken- ing to Christ, and a sharpened awareness of sin in the lives of the entire student body. Every day students are living and growing in Him, the Lord . . . in whom trusting . . . our found- ing fathers went . . . boldly into the thickest of me fight . . 20 We, the young people of today live in one of the most challenging periods of all history. Scientists have called it the beginning of the Atomic Age. A new and daring form of ex- pression has taken over the minds of the gen- iuses of the arts. America is assuming a more challenging position of world leadership and authority than she has ever before experienced. Nations of the world are taking sides to pre- pare for a conflict which may emerge at any time as World War Ill. We at Wheaton Academy believe that we have the answer to this challenge. Our slogan, For Christ and His Kingdom states, simply but truly, our reason for existence. In other words we believe that Christ is the answer. Now, as we embark upon the next one hun- dred years, we are sobered by the thought that we, like America, hold a unique position in the world. The next one hundred years may be cut short at any time by the coming of the very King in glory. Ours is the serious challenge of taking to the ends of the earth the goods news of Christ and His Kingdom. wrll perform rf unhl the day of Jesus Chrrst rv' ,,,.

Some of these friends we will forget, but others we will always remember. People made school in- teresting. We were also required to know facts and figures. This kind of learn- ing was relished by few, but it took the maiority of our time. Senior Little things like walking to the train, talks on the patio, anxiously awaiting the mail, and yelling at pep rallies, as well as big things, class parties, Swan- son's baby, evangelistic Services, the PSL tournament, and finally end of the year activities and graduation week, all combined to make our last year our best. Our sponsors, Miss Chapman and Mr. Swanson, provided just the sparkling enthusiasm and experienced leadership needed to make the class stand out. At :mes nothing could have sounded better than to talk it over with Mr Swanson it almost became a by word The sublect could have been anything from what to do when I leave the Academy to how can I improve my personality It didnt matter much what the sublect was Mr Swanson usually had lust the right thing to say and he always knew how to listen Miss Chapman with her lively wit and enthusiasm was a real asset in leadership too You could always count on getting a practical challenge any time Miss Chapman was on the giving end of the devotional thought The Lord has richly blessed our class with ability and even more important, has placed His guiding hand on our progress as a class and on our growth as individuals Evidence of His hand on us is seen as, one by one we ve sought and found His will sometimes in very small things, and often In Important decisions But whether in big or small things our stay at the Academy has chal lenged us never to be satisfied until we have found the Lord s will and keep on finding it Sr 'OS Q- Y BAR!

Some sat through a class period and then let out a sigh of relief when it was over, and some even enjoyed going to class. We were required to know formulas, laws, classes of animals, or our vo- cabulary words, and in the midst of fooling around or noise down in the dorm, we somehow learned them. Guided by a group of topnotch teachers, by the end of the year, we found that we actually knew more than when we started, and it seemed that school was worthwhile after all. arg, ff fr N ,A g , , Mr. Williams explains angles in circles and two girls graph their formulas in trigonometry and advanced algebra.

Belief, a major part of faith, is also a major part of Wheaton Academy. The primary pur- pose of the school is to develop, in its stu- dents, belief and faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Activities such as chapel every day and C.Y.F. every Tuesday pro- vided a strengthening force for our Christian testimony, and through prayer meetings and private devotions we received added bless- ing. These and other activities brought us closer to Him and made Him King and Lord of our lives. 63 ss'- q Chapel The ringing of the chimes each morning at nine was the signal that chapel was about to begun We always looked forward to this time because of the variety of programs and spiritual blessing it afforded Valuable experience was gained by the students who were given an opportunity to participate both in the planning and carrying out of chapel programs Some of the never to be forgotten programs were the Mens Glee Club from the College Mr and Mrs Carter Cody who pre sented several Inspiring solos and duets and a tape recording from the radio program Unshackled adding interest with the life story of Ernie The many speakers from all over the world presented us with the various challenges of living the full Christian life. We heard from men and women in the business world, the professions, and in full time Christian service, all with zeal and earnestness for the Lord, all wholly dedicated to Him. With each new challenge, the Lord became increasingly precious, and chapel was always o blessing if you were looking for one. Dr. E. M. Harrison who gave us a real challenge as he spoke to us on the lives of little-known missionaries. Howard Skinner, who brought us blessing in the way of special music, both with voice and on the piano. Mr, and Mrs. Carter Cody sang many special numbers in their long-remembered chapel service. Karl Steele gave a message in the form of a beautiful chalk drawing, which was made even more beautiful by the various colors of lights. , Chapel Youth Fellowship XS- 4 - gsk M 4 wif' C.Y.F. officers: Werner VonBergen, president, Wilma Gardziella, Rodger Reed, Ross Kinsler. The Ambassador Gospel Team that brought us a real message in one of the chapel services 66 C.Y.F. was to most everyone who attended, a time of real fellowship and blessing in the Lord. The meet- ings were planned by the students themselves, and an interesting variety of programs resulted. Special speakers, movies, including Mr. Texas, put out by Billy Graham, and Lord of All, by the King's College, and alumni night were some of the high- lights of the year. Many of the programs were put on entirely with- out outside talent , and sparked by testimonies. There was missionary kid's night, when some of the m. k.'s in the school gave a brief sketch of the field where their parents are serving. Panel discussions added interest with students supplying the topics. Something new was a night when everyone with musical talent performed in an all music night. At each meeting the special music was supplied by different groups such as the girls' trio, the boys' quartette, the trumpet trio, and many solos and duets. This gave them a real opportunity to use their talent for the Lord and also gain practical experience in performing before a group.

A Evangelists my Dr. Walter Wilson 70 Wally Howard Dr. Walter Wilson's practical hints for wit- nessing presented us with real challenge and his messages on the love of God in- spired us. Things like his message on be- ing at home in the presence of God stuck, and his stories of actual witnessing amazed us. Wally Howard really made us think with his messages on the Christian life, what it really means, and what it costs to live it. The nightly bull sessions helped us to solve some of our problems as Christians, as we discussed the down to earth prob- lems which we presented. Through his messages, we came to a more thorough understanding of God's love towards us and what it should mean to us in our daily lives. Ss. A S! Action Our life at school was always full of action. We en- tered activities with unsurpassed energy and always had a good time in them. There were organizations, parties, sports, pep rallies, and even studies. Our af- ternoons were taken up with practice for the team or having fun with the rest of the gang, and we spent our weekends at the game, in social events, or catch- ing up on sleep we missed the night before. Some played and some watched, but we all had fun.

Student Council Under Bruce Johnson, the Student Council real- ized many accomplishments. From planning par- ties to decorating the recreation room, every- thing was done in the efficient manner which typified the council's whole organization. The first big project of the year was the sponsoring of a bleacher fund drive which proved successful when three sections of bleach- ers were installed in the gym. Following that, the council planned and organized a terrific Christmas Party and Sadie Hawkins Day. As spring rolled around, Student Council un- dertook the project of decorating and furnish- ing the new recreation room. The result was a beautiful room that everyone enjoys, supplied with ping pong and many other games. The council accomplished many other things such as establishing efficient library and mon- itor systems, planning activities, and taking care of the many small problems of a busy school. 72 .

Compass Obviously, everything that exists has a cause, and this yearbook didn't just happen. A careful combination of human and material qualities caused the great effect called Compass . Lots of hard work and planning has made into a reality, a centennial yearbook. Under the direction of editor Dave Lindberg and the guiding hand of Mr. Kullberg, the work was completed. Imagine a rather small, square room, furnished with a long table, and chairs placed in a disorderly fashion around it. On the table are yearbooks, iumbled papers, a typewriter, a few pencils, iars of dry rubber cement, and pictures of students, teachers, and buildings. This is a brief, but rather accurate picture of the place, where, every fourth period, you could find staff members working to pro- duce the book. There was copy to write by the ton, pictures to paste, layout to be planned, concessions to sell, and typing to be done. The Lord's guidance was sought in every problem, and with their hands in His, the staff has tried to make the '53 Compass a book which will bring honor to His name. 11, -.r A sa game.

Foatprint Whenever there was a scramble for mailboxes, a rustle of paper, and eager scanning of pages you could be sure that another copy of Footprints had come out and been deposited in everyone's box. With its bang-up sports reporting, gossip columns, feature articles and editorials, life at Wheaton Acad- emy was accurately portrayed by Footprints. Not only the human side of the news, but the humorous, pathetic, spiritual, and sometimes very shocking side of the news was brought into the light of day. Sometimes the staff had a hard time finding original ideas for copy writing, layout planning, and new features. But with Miss Roberta Chapman, fac- ulty sponsor, sparking the staff and each member with a nose for news and plenty of determined willingness to work, Footprints turned out to be four pages of unique, iam-packed articles which made everyone say, Pretty neat paper , while sitting around in the lounge with their noses deeply buried in it.

Any- how, every Friday and Saturday night, there was something going on. Different ones of us will remember different things, but some of the more memorable events were the mock presidential elections, the football banquet, Author Dogfrey and his Talent Scouts, and the Spring Splurge. Besides these there were class parties, pic- nics, and basketball games. The activities of the year were topped off as the iuniors put on a swell Junior-Senior Banquet, and as the seniors vanished for three days of swimming, boating, sunburns and squirt guns.

What the iuniors will probably remember most about the big event is the one or two hours of sleep they got the day before the banquet after decorating all night, but when they were finished, it seemed hard to believe that this was the gym. The town of a hundred years ago that greeted your eyes as you entered the building put you in the centennial spirit right away. Upstairs in the nicely furnished Western Room the guests waited to be ushered to their seats. No one will forget the delicious food that followed set off by easy-to-listen- to dinner music, Mr. and Mrs. Carter Cody, accom- panied by Mrs. J. Foster Oury at the organ. Bob Mitchell and Orion Johnson, as masters of ceremonies, asking for all the honey and being good sports about everything, made the evening unforgettable. And although they could make you laugh until your sides ached, when it came time to be serious, their devotional thoughts on the life of Thom- as really gave you something to think about. After a hilarious program of feet-guessing, egg shampoos, video antics, and the Swiss Family Robin- son movie, the punch line made a perfect end to a perfect evening which will long be remembered by everyone in the classes of '53 and '54.

Sneak Though the iuniors had been watching every move of every senior for weeks, careful planning and in- tricate organization sneaked the seniors away, and by the time the iuniors found out we were missing, we were already on our way to Camp Awana. Camp Awana filled the bill for a perfect sneak site, providing, for our spare moments, swimming, boating, horses, tennis, ping-pong, and squirt guns. And of course there were the hikes around the lake and the hilarious programs both evenings. We'll never forget Bruce Johnson, alias, Bud Hauser, trying to show us a few cars over here or Frank trying to act embarrassed about all his girl friends. The good eats were not the least of the good features about the sneak, and to top everything off, the ride back to Chicago on the Northwestern 400 streamliner made the sneak one of the biggest events of a very big senior year.

Football .-ans. vw-'Y' ' Quarterback Dave Johnson, most 1 valuable player, breaks away for ' yardage against Parker. P l . ' W' -QI ' -x , 'fl 1 in The charging of linemen and the handoff to a fast backfield man, this was the result of hard practices. The Warriors fought, and won, not every game, few teams do that. Hard practice and competition at every position moved the team forward on Sat- urdays. There were a few tough losses, the Latin and St. Procopius games in which the score was tied until the closing two minutes, and the Harvard game where, losing by two touchdowns, we had two called back. Still, the season was one we want to remem- ber. St. Procopius was our first opponent. The game seesawed from one half of the field to the other with mistakes halting our scoring drives. The game wasn't decided until the last minute when they tal- lied the winning touchdown. We opened our conference season against Latin. Before we got set in the first quarter, they had scored. As the second half opened, we took the ball, and with an inspired drive, marched down to the five yd. line where Don Bullock took it for the score. The contest remained a tie until Latin scored on a twenty 92 . ,f ' t ' n ' if - K yard reverse with two minutes remaining in the game. In the Harvard game we were without the ser- vices of quarterback Dave Johnson, but neverthe- less, gained consistent yardage. The Harvard team scored in the first quarter on a runback of an in- tercepted pass and late in the game marched to another score. In the final quarter both Jim Hanchett and Tom Buis caught touchdown passes which were called back on account of penalties. The Parker game really proved the Warriors. We consistently stymied the defending champioin's attack, and we made yardage ourselves in huge chunks. Our first score came very early in the open- ing quarter after a fumble, as Don Bullock charged into the end zone from the eight yard line. Later in the some period, Dave Lindberg picked up a punt and reeled off 70 yards for our second touchdown. The attack again started functioning in the third period as Don Bullock again scored on a short lunge and Warner Von Bergen crossed the goal line from 30 yards out. Dave Johnson finished the scoring in the final period on a 10 yard plunge. Undefeated Luther was next. Our airtight defense easily set them at a standstill and they rallied to hold us to a 0-0 tie. Our best scoring chance was destroyed as George Fikeis's 25 yard dash down to the five yard line was called back due to a disputed penalty. Principia, a non-conference foe, came all the way from St. Louis to beat us by three touchdowns. They scored two gift touchdowns early in the first quarter on a tricky reverse. The Warriors slapped right back as Dave Lindberg took the ball 50 yards to the two-foot line from where Dave Johnson took it for the tally. The North Park game, the last for 13 seniors, was one we really wanted to win. We took the open- ing kickoff and marched 60 yards before we lost the ball on a fumble. We scored soon afterwards on a 4 yard plunge by Werner Von Bergen after we re- covered their fumble. In the second half our defense again checked them, and in the fourth quarter, George Fikeis, a consistent ground gainer through- out the game, scored on a 6 yard pitchout to climax a 2 win, 2 loss, T tie conference schedule. At the close of the season the Warriors swamped the other teams in the all-conference voting. The league's coaches selected seven Wheaton players on the all-conference teams. They were Dave Johnson and Jim Hanchett, ends, Frank Hicks, tackle, Jim McKellin, guard, Jay Hoppe, center, and Don Bul- lock and Dave Lindberg, halfbacks.

The team faced some of the toughest opposition in the state and came through with a 7 win, 5 loss record. The big four throughout the sea- son proved to be Larry Rexilius, Dave Lindberg, Dave Garber, and Beano Oury. Others who had good records were Maurice Deming, Bob Neff, Dick Gieser, Eugene Wright, and Winston Hurl- burt. The team opened the season by defeating McHenry and outstanding York, then, running into trouble, they dropped three in a row to LaGrange, Elgin, and Hinsdale. ln the next match, the Warriors slapped back to flatten Palatine by 40 points as pins were racked up by all but four men. The next two wins were Wrestling Team Row 1: Tarbutton, Beano Oury, Garber, Cording, Kama, Coach Will- son. Row 2: Lindberg, Smail, Bullock, 4 Gieser, John Oury, Rexilius, Deming. Row 3: McNicol, Neff, Hearn, Dasburg, Von Bergen, Edwards, Hurlburt, Kinsler, Wright, Nanfelt. 2' chalked up over McHenry and Oswego. In a return match with Oswego, who came back with a much stronger team, the Warriors really came through, as Oury and Bullock beat their men, and Garber, Deming, Lindberg, Rexilius, and Hurlburt won by pin. In the last match of the season, the grapplers again knocked Palatine for a loop by a score of 45-12. Besides Rexilius, in the state sectionals, Neff, Deming, Lindberg and Oury won their first matches and Neff and Deming took fourths. ln spite of the success of the team, the out- standing thing about the 1953 wrestling squad was its dependence on the Lord. Before and after each match there was a prayer meeting. The wrestlers prayed first to be a testimony, and secondly to wrestle their best. This was the reason for consistent triumph.

Crass-Country Coachless, but determined, the 1952 cross-country squad turned in a record of 1 win against 6 losses. Considering the presence of only one lettermen and the grade of competition, the hill-and-dalers did a good iob. Throughout the season the top four proved to be Bob Adolph, Wesley Smith, Paul Mitchell, and Dale Ferguson, with Bob Adolph leading the way. The victory over Wheaton High was highlighted by the running of Jim Hanchett, who ran it for the first time and came in second, as well as Bob Adolph who took fourth. Next year's outlook is good, with 2 lettermen returning including Captain Bob Adolph. Row 1: Smith, Haraldsen, Babikow, Meyer, Dittmar.

Basketball 102 Starting out cool, but ending up hot, the Warriors lost 4 of their first 6 games and then finished the season by winning 13 of their last 18. It was only the Lord's help that enabled the team to take second in both the P.S.L. and the tournament and break 3 scoring records, including the team season scoring record set iust last season. The team poured in 1255 points in 24 games for a 52 point average. After their poor start, the Warriors began to roll, and in the next game, set a new Academy scoring record for a single game,.as they shel- lacked Luther South with a 74 point total. In the following game, we beat defending cham- pion Harvard as Leigh Beveridge dumped in 23 points for the season's highest total. Two non-conference wins were chalked up over Glenwood and Elgin Academy before we played our next conference game. We conquered Luther in a close game and then slaughtered Todd. The next game against North Park was the most exciting of the season. By the end of the third period. we were behind by T3 points, but with one of those fan-wilting finishes, the team surged to within 'I point of the opposition, and then Leigh Beveridge sank a last second shot that gave us the victory. Bob Adolph, who led the team scoring with 272 points, goes up for a one hand shot in the championship game of the tournament against Luther. Bob Adolph Leigh Beveridge Tom Buis VU?

We got a bye the first night of the tournament and then played our first game against North Park. By the middle of the second quarter, things looked sad as we trailed 18-'I7, but suddenly something got hold of the team and a few minutes later we led 42-23. After that we won easily. The second tournament game against Christian seemed endlessly slow as they led after a quarter, 13-7. By the time the second half was under way, we solved their slow style of play, though, and we soon built up an advantage that gave us the victory. Heartbreak followed in the championship game against Luther. In the first half we matched them almost point for point, and at half time, they led by a point, but in the second half, we iust didn't have it, and they gradually pulled away to win the tournament championship and the first place trophy by 5 points.

It seemed that we lost the close ones and the vic- tories came the hard way. The Junior Warriors started out the season right with a thrilling 45- 44 victory over St. Charles, when Dan Akens couldn't miss on his long one hand shot, but then the team slumped before it won its next victory from Luther South.

At the close of the season, they par- ticipated in the Chicagoland Christian Schools Tournament, from which they emerged champs after defeating Tim- othy and Chicago Christian.

Besides Jim's message, the parents of four students took part in the serv- ice and special music was provided by Diana Forcier and Evvy VanKampen.

Desiring to give the school something both use- ful and which would beautify the campus, the class of '53 hit on an outdoor fireplace built down by the little pond on the front side of the campus. When school ended, the project had not yet been completed, but in the plans were the landscaping of the ground around the pond. A fitting .memorial to the class of '53, the barbecue pit will be used and enjoyed by every- one. un' f -1. r--1- C5 Worlrmen hurry trying to finish the senior class gift before Commencement time Miss Roberta Chapman surprised us all at the end of the year by marrying her Doctor Bill Johnson.

Yes, we all made it, even Pete, as we finished our four year stay at Wheaton with beautiful commencement exercises in the Academy gym. In a refreshingly different sermon, Jim Rayburn gave us an in- spiring challenge. After amusing us with the tale of Whitherspoon and his midnight call, Jim set before us the fact that as we leave Wheaton's Christian surroundings, we must live lives that make Christianity at- tractive to those who know not our wonderful Lord. ln his valedictory address, Jim Hanchett related briefly the Acad- emy's history in thanking the Lord for the blessings we now enjoy. Bruce Johnson presented the class gift, a beautiful barbecue pit, to Mr. Garrett and the student body from the hottest class ever in hopes that it might add to the facilities and beauty of the campus.
