How- ever, the shyness soon disappeared after a hearty welcome by the senior initiating com- mittee. As freshmen we enjoyed parties and other activities under the supervision of Miss Jesseman. The following officers were elected for the first semester: President, Glenn An- derson; Vice President, Jack Smith; Secretary, Helen Rickert; Treasurer, Mary Bowman. Second semester officers were: President, Jack Smith; Vice President, Glenn Anderson; Secretary, Ramona Lolling; Treasurer, Anna Lou Royster. Ruby Carlson and Stanley Meyers represented the class on the Student Council. Miss Jesseman continued as our adviser for a second successful year. As sophomores we took part in many of the same activities as in the previous year. Class- officers were, for the first semester: President, Harold Bridgeland; Vice President, Russell Stringer; Secre- tary, Ramona Lolling; Treasurer, Pauline Raver, and for the second semester: President, Robert Swenson; Vice President, Mary Bowman; Secretary, Pauline Raver, Treasurer, Roger Keister. Student Council members were Anna Lou Royster and Glenn Anderson. In our junior year, guided by Miss Carlson, we elected as officers for the first semester: President, Horace Brown; Vice President, Harold Bridgeland; Secretary, Arlene Poppen; Treasurer, Robert Swenson. Ruby Carlson and Glenn Anderson served as Student Council members. Second semester officers were President: Robert Swenson; Vice Presi- dent, Stanley Meyers; Secretary, Arlene Poppen; Treasurer, James Mitchell. During this year our big project was the Junior-Senior Prom which was held at Hotel Faust in Rock- ford. Not only did we work hard, but we had lots of fun. At last we reached the close of our high school career. With Miss Scheider as our adviser we elected the following officers: President, Jack Smith; Vice President, James Mitchell; Secretary, Arlene Poppen, Treasurer, Robert Swenson. Second semester officers were: President, Jack Smith; Vice President, Stanley Meyers. Secretary, Harold Bridgeland; Treasurer, Robert Swenson. Student Council members were Mary Bowman and Glenn Anderson. Our greatest achievement as seniors was to produce this annual. Under the faithful guidance of our adviser, Miss Scheider, we feel that we have succeeded. We sincerely hope that you enjoy reading it as we have enjoyed making it. Now that we have reached our goal we wish to express sincere gratitude to the fac- ulty whose untiring efforts have made possible our graduation.

Lettermen returning from active duty to the gridiron were Tom Taylor, Budd Brown, Glenn Anderson, Henry Strakeljahn, Calvin Becker, John Ferro, and Gordon St. John. As practice continued the number of the squad was gradually reduced. After almost three weeks of practice we opened the 1943 season at Rock- ford. There we won a decisive victory over the West High Sophomores 19-6. Upon completing two more weeks of maneuvers we played our first home game against Marengo. Here we defeated our first conference opponent 2-7. Our Homecoming opponent was Harlem who defeated us 13-7 in a thrill- packed game. This was our first defeat of the season. Another week rolled by and on October 23 Harvard journeyed to Winnebago to defeat our team, after a hard fought battle, 14-7. We completed our season at South Beloit's Dust Bowl. Here we upset their Homecoming by thumping them 21-6. At a special meeting held to elect co-captains we elected Tom Taylor and Budd Brown as commandants of our Grid Iron, Crew.” At a special assembly. Coach Hepfer awarded letters to the following men: Guards—Calvin Becker, Jim Mitchell, Ned Grover. Center—Vince Swenson, Norman Joyes. Tackles—Budd Brown, Don Smith, Glen Ferdinand.. Ends—John Ferro, Gordon St. John. Quarterback—Glenn Anderson. Half-Backs—Henry Strakeljahn, Jack Leden. Full-Back—Tom Taylor. From our squad three were chosen for the all-conference team—Taylor, Anderson, and Brown.

Both were forwards. Although small men they led our team in individual scoring. Glenn graduates this year but Henry has another year left. Tom Taylor—a senior who played guard on our team. He proved a very valu- able asset to our team due to his ability on rebounds. Budd Brown—a senior guard. Although unable to complete the season due to an injury received in football, he proved valuable to our team in hold- ing down high scoring opponents. Harold Bridgeland—a senior who held down the post position. He was one of the tallest men on the team and was noted for his swaggering pivot shots. Vince Swenson—Although he saw limited service, he was a very valuable man in the reserve power in that he could fill either guard or forward position. Gordon St. John—a sophomore guard who was known for his long one-hand- ed push shots and his scrapping ability. Norm Joyes—a junior guard who saw action on the varsity. Norm was the cleverest ball handler on the squad. John Ferro and George Nagles—the captains of the B string. Although small, George was a good defensive man and a good shot from the corner. John, the tallest man on the B string, was an excellent rebounder and had plenty of fight.

Martin McDonald—a freshman forward and high scorer for the B string. Martin is a good prospect for next year's team. Jack Leden—a sophomore guard on the B string. Although not a high scorer himself, he held down the score of the opponents. Jim McMahon—Robert Peterson—Robert Gilbert—John Stadtfield—all fresh- men. They proved valuable to the B string as reserve power. Richard Ahrens—a sophomore forward who proved to be a valuable reserve to the B string. Dick was known for his left-handed push shots. James Mitchell—a senior guard whom the squad lost to the U. S. Marine Corps during the first of the season. Jim would have proved a valuable man to the squad had he been abie to complete the season.

MUSIC ☆ This year the Music Department was off with a flying start. Under the able direction of Miss Wright, the mixed chorus, girls' chorus, boys' quartet, girls' sextette, and orchestra were soon or- ganized. As we lost two of the members of the boys' quartet last year we had to select two new members. Tryouts were held and the two boys selected to fill in the vacancies were Robert (Vince) Swenson and Horace Brown. The two members from last year were Jack Smith and Harold Bridgeland. The girls' sextette this year consists of Virginia Shugars and Elsie Carlson as first sopranos, Jane Brown and Prudence Ferraro as second sopranos, and Ruby Carlson and Virginia Reber as altos. On the 6th of November we held our annual operetta, In Gay Havana . It is a story of what happens to some American tourists during a Cuban Revolution. The comedy was supplied by the honey mooners, a couple of spinisters, and the chaperones of a Cuban native. A string trio was organized and as first violinist, William Westphal was selected, Doris Grover was given position of sec- ond violinist, and last but not least, Shirley Joyes was chosen third violinist. This year twelve students will receive pins and sixteen will receive letters. A new ruling was made this year stating that in arriving at the number of points a person had earned the present year would also be counted. Our annual spring concert was held the evening of April 26th. Long after this article has been written may music still re- tain its place in school and through its activities give much pleasure to its members.

A. was organized under the direction of Mr. Von Ohlen. Nineteen members made up our chapter. The officers elected for 1943-1944 were as follows: Harold Bridgeland ..........................President William Westphal ......................Vice President Harvey Smith .................Secretary and Treasurer Robert Newman ...............................Reporter In September, 1943 Harold Bridgeland and William Westphal were elect- ed delegates to attend the district meeting at Forreston, Illinois. At this meeting plans and programs were discussed for the year. In February, 1944, Harvey Smith and William Westphal were chosen to attend the State F. F. A. meeting at Urbana, Illinois. This meeting was held April 7 and 8. The F. F. A. chapter met every third Friday; demonstrations of rope splic- ing and care of a milking machine were given. There were also debates and motion pictures. The Farm Management Class studied dairy cattle, hogs, and sheep; rations for these animals; and the quality of feeds grown in this vicinity. The class culled chickens, and judged dairy cattle, beef cattle, and hogs. Some of the boys plan to attend the District Judging Contest which will be held at the Rawleigh Dairy Farm. The Animal Husbandry Class also studied the mos‘ common farm animals. ☆ G. A. A. ☆ The G. A. A. of 1943-44 was organized under the guidance of Mrs. Davis. The officers for the year: President, Ruby Carlson; Vice president, Shirley Kappenman, Secretary, Anna Lou Royster; Treasurer, Helen Rickert.

ANNUAL As our class colors are blue and white we decided on a navy theme for the Winneb. We have chosen a navy blue cover for our book with this in view. The name Winneb is in red because our class flower is the red rose. We have used navy terms in marking the divisions and in writing our reports. LIBRARIANS Librarians for this year were: Mary Bowman, Betty Bridgeland, Jane Brown, Jean Christen, Helen Falconer, Shirley Joyes. Jennie McDonald, and Anna Lou Royster. The duties of the librarian are to check the books out and in and to keep the books in order on the shelves. They also help students find books and material needed in their work. STUDENT COUNCIL (VICTORY CORPS) The Student Council served chiefly as a Victory Corps this year. The Corps was made up of two members from each class. They were: Seniors—Glenn Anderson and Mary Bow- man; Juniors—Norman Joyes and Jane Brown, Sophomores—David Fischer and Catherine Thompson; Freshmen—John Statdfield and Audrey Hassel and our sponsor. Miss Wright. Shirley Joyes was chosen to take the place of Catherine Thompson who moved to another district. The chief duty of the Victory Corps this year was the selling of War Stamps and Bonds. Up to this date (March 22) we have sold $3,850 worth of stamps and bonds which we think is very good considering the size of our school. We also sponsored the Christ- mas party this year and had the job of purchasing and decorating the Christmas tree. Jane Brown was president of the Corps with Glenn Anderson, vice president; Mary Bowman, secretary, and Catherine Thommpson, treasurer. QUILL The Quill, our school paper, was started in 1931 and now has a circulation of 175. We exchange with surrounding schools and also send it to alumni in the service. The Quill now has eight pages of news and accounts of various activities. We seniors hope it progresses as it continues. It is supported by subscription and donation.
