THE WINNEB Contents •COME WITH US •WHILE WE WORK •MEET OUR FRIENDS •AND LEARN TO PLAY 1947 THE WINNEB Senior Poem Somehow when you are freshmen How far away its seems, The goal that we all strive for, The dream of all our dreams. The dream of being a Senior Was in our thought most high, As each succeeding class From Winneb” went marching by. When finally we near the goal. And are in our Senior year, We look back on the grand old times That memories make so dear. We realize as we look back On whom we really relied— Our parents, school board, friends Thank you for being our guide. And to our teachers—Thank you! Much more than words can say For your guidance, patience, kindness Towards the goal—Graduation Day. Now Graduation Day is here, And how wonderful it seems, As we eagerly look forward To fulfilling all our dreams. As we take a look at the future Our hopes go soaring high. And we make up our minds not To let opportunity pass us by. We know God will help us To be cheerful throughout each day, And to follow life's main motto Which simply states Fair Play.” To future Winneb” classes We to them bestow Success and Lots of Luck” Wherever they may go. COME W U •••••••••• THE WINNEB School Board We are proud of the members of our school board and appreciate their efforts in maintaining our school building, hiring the teachers, appropriating sufficient funds for supplies and necessities, and for helping to improve our curriculum. There are seven members on the school board. This year the board included Daniel Hurd, the President. Mr. Hurd is employed in Rockford and has a milk route in Win- nebago. He has three children of school age. Clarence Nevens is the senior member of the board. He and his son are engaged in farming. Mrs. Wilma McMichael. the Secre- tary of the Board, is a retired sch(x)l teacher who is still very much interested in all school problems. It is her duty to see that all reports are made and that all bills are paid. Herbert Johnson is a farmer who has two children in school. Calvin Korf is employed in Rockford and has four children in school. John Houston, also employed in Rockford, has one son in school. Kenneth Larson, the Fuller Brush Man, resides in Winnebago and has two sons in school. The members of the board receive little or no glory for their services and they are performed gratis. To them the members of the class of 47” say Thank you for giving them such happy and worthwhile school days.

For most of them the place was new and it was indeed a very confusing day. After our first party which was the traditional freshmen initiation in which the seniors beamed with pride, we all began to feel at home. When we began to know one another we electd our officers for the first semester. They were President, Bob Peterson; Vice President, Martin McDonald; Secretary, Mary Tritle; and Treasurer, Bob Gilbert. Mrs. Davis, our adviser, accompanied us on the parties that we held during the year. Our second semester officers were President, Martin McDonald; Vice President, Mary Tritle; Secretary, Elizabeth Ferro; Treasurer, Charlotte Null and Student Council members, Audrey Hassel and John Statdfield. September 1944—Our sophomore year began with Miss Carlson as our adviser. Feeling better acquainted with the school, many of us joined girls' and boys' chorus, mixed chorus, sextet, quartet, Quill Staff, clubs, and some of the boys went out for ath- letics. Our officers were President, Helen Polkowski; Vice President, Doris Christen; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Tritle; and Student Council members, Helen Polkowski and David Newman. We held a bake sale which was the beginning of our money earning ideas. September 1945—The beginning of the third successful year of high school. We were fortunate in having Mrs. Cornish as our adviser. Our chief aim for the year was the Junior-Senior prom and banquet. Money for the prom was made by selling maga- zine subscriptions and selling candy and pop at the home games. A Christmas dance was held in December. The theme for the prom was A Flower Garden and the gym was decorated in blue and white with a false ceiling. The Chansonettes provided music for dancing. Our rings were selected with the understanding that we would receive them when Seniors. Our officers for the year were President, Rodney Clinite; Vice President, Myrtle Smith; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Tritle; and the Student Council members, Lois Poppen and Rodney Clinite. September 1947—At last we reached the close of our four years of high school. Officers elected were President, Henry Strakeljahn; Vice President, Shirley Gustafson; Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Polkowski; and Student Council members, Elizabeth Ferro, Henry Strakeljahn, and Bruce Hodges. With the patience of our adviser, Mrs. Kasch, we have produced for you the 47 Winneb which we have tried to make better than any before. Our class motto is From a little spark may burst a mighty flame.” Our class colors are maroon and white and our class flowers are white roses and wine carnations. Much praise should be given to our D.A.R. winner. Myrtle Smith; our vocalist, Lois Poppen; our athletes, Martin McDonald and John Statdfield; our Quill and Winneb editor, Helen Polkowski; our president, Henry Strakeljahn and most of all to Mrs. Kasch, our adviser, for these people have made our class outstanding. Our four years of hard work have reached a climax and it has come time to say farewell to our schoolmates and teachers for we are leaving the Winnebago school where we have just begun our education for the future. Before leaving let us say Thank you to the school board, faculty, janitors and to the mothers and fathers of the 47” class, for these people have made our graduation possible. With the guidance of our Lord let each and everyone of us prove worthy receivers of our diplomas. As we go out into a new world today let us all strive in our chosen profession to make a brighter tomorrow.

Boys' Chorus 1947 THE WINNEB Sharps and Flats Whoops, you're flat! It all started when the boys and girls of Winnebago high school tossed those sour notes around in an effort to sing 'pretty' (?) Shortly after school started, twenty-six quiet and shy fellows stumbled into the music room to sound off their do, re, me's to find out who sang bass. These he-men were all basses—so they thought 'til, much to their surprise, they discovered they could sing in the treble cleff as well as the bass cleff. But now you should hear those boys sing, Old Man River. You can even hear the tenors. In one of their songs they sing in contest they let us know they aren't hill-billies by proclaiming they have shoes. They keep telling us All God's Chil- lun’s Got Shoes. These quiet and shy fellows who first entered the music room have disappeared and are now quite confident. Second to none we find our girls’ chorus—at least we think they are second to none. These girls seem quite impressed by the moon and have been singing very charmingly about the Children of the Moon since the first of the year—and now they've put the Moon Behind the Cottonwood.” Of course they have other interests in their music and have worked up quite a repertoire. The girls annoy the whole school with their ah’s, a-e-i-o-u's, and breath-control exercises but others will have to put up with it if they are to enjoy the polished tones of our fifty-three voices. You've probably been wondering how these boys and girls would sound if they should sing together. Well, we know, because we've heard their fine mixed chorus. They’ve been wandering around all year trying to find The Lost Chord but the harmony is easy on the ear. They also worked diligently on contest numbers. The spring was a busy time for all three choruses—contests, other public appear- ances, and the climax of the season—the Spring Concert. Our thrushes appeared in love- ly formals and our crooners in their Sunday best reviewing the year's hard work. Our music department would not be complete without our girl's sextette and boy's quintette. In spite of many hardships, these two groups have found time to blend their voices. Our lush thrushes are: Lois Poppen, Ginger Evans, Sally Miller, Clara Ferraro, Mary Tritle, and Mayvis Oakes. These girls have made many public appearances. Some of which are: the senior play, senior assembly, Christmas entertainments, contest, and spring concert. The girls have worked very hard on a superior number, The Snow Legend. The quintette includes: Billy Ascher, Bob Martin, Richard Sherman, Eugene Gambrel, and Harlan Mitchell. If you are around the music room at noon, you no doubt have heard these masculine voices. Winnebago also boasts some soloists. Lois Poppen, our charming and talented soprano, sang in contest and has made other public appearances. Added to our list of soloists this year we have the vivacious Mayvis Oakes who sang the contralto solo for contest and spring concert. We are especially proud of one of our sophomore boys who sings a wicked baritone. Harlan Mitchell has made quite a few appearances this year and also sang in contest. I think we owe a lot to our petite music instructor, Mrs. Anderson. She has worked hard with all these groups and has been exceedingly patient.

THE WINNEB Stitch and Chatter The first thing you notice when you walk into the home economics room is the bright and sunny atmosphere, and the delicious smell of baked foods. Then you realize it has been changed. A triple floor length mirror has been added; also there are new cupboards, sewing machines, wardrobes, and a living room set. If you want to know where that appetizing smell is coming from, just look in the ovens of the modern gas and electric stoves. The department really seems complete with the refrigerator, cup- boards stocked with food, and all kinds of kitchen utensils. I'm sure you’ll want to come and visit it as it really is a comfortable and pleasant place to be. Test Tube Experts Those who don't take Biology miss a very interesting class. Oh, yes, it involves a lot of study, but what subject doesn't? The structures of everything from twigs to mammals are studied. Usually a real specimen is available for the students to dissect and study. Just think how much more interesting it is to have a specimen to study from rather than to learn from books and pictures. It teaches boys and girls to appreciate the living things around them. One thing leads to another, they say, and how that proves true in Biology. Before you know it, you’re off on some very interesting subject—a long way from the former one. Taking Biology really should be considered a privilege instead of a just a require- ment. Soils and Crops The members in the class of '47 taking the course of Soils Crops have some very good material to work with. With the advice of Mr. Schelling, their new instructor, they're going to know their soils by bringing in samples of soil and testing it. They have learned what plant foods are essential for plant growth, those which are different, and why, and how to tell what a soil needs. They have also worked out a program for weed control of common and obnoxious weeds of Illinois, modern methods of soil preparation, corn enterprises, corn insects, and how to control them. In the F. F. A. Chapter, there are 27 members from which the following officers were elected: President, Dick Houston; Vice President, Robert Carter; Secretary, David Newman; Treasurer, Tom Spielman; Reporter, Warren Cunningham; Sentinel, Junior Resh. The farm shop class is rather small and they have been building feed bunks, re- pairing farm machinery, making trailers, and repairing autos, trucks, and tractors. They have also done some work on electric motors, but find it quite complicated. The tools are handy and the shop is well-arranged. THE WINNEB HOME ECONOMICS CLASS BIOLOGY CLASS FARM SHOP CLASS THE WINNEB Library Of course, it would be a bore to give a long account of the many virtues of the library, but it is too important to pass over without any remarks. We have sixteen libra- rians this year. Some of their duties are to check books out and in and to help a student find a book he wants. Another important duty is to keep the books in order on the shelves. If they didn't, just imagine trying to find a certain book. It would be an endless task! A student is allowed to keep a b x k two weeks; if it isn't returned by then, a fee is charged. The money received from overdue books is used for new books. Many new books have been added to the library this year. These new books de- light the students but who wouldn't be delighted with a new book! We also have a large variety of magazines and a daily newspaper. Typing Class This year there are 38 students taking typing. First year typing is being taught and there are 3 classes. For a full credit, the student is required to type to a speed of 35 words in 10 minutes with not more than 7 errors. Those students who have achieved this are: Harriet DeVoe Sally Miller Joyce Straley Carol Clark George Haack Kathryn Lameyer The first semester the rtudents learn the key board and practice speed. The second semester they learn to set up letters, how to type tabulation, the typing of legal material, and the writing of manuscripts. Next year they are planning to offer advanced courses in both typing and shorthand. They are also planning to add adjustable chairs to the equipment. Clock Watchers Have you ever tried to figure out some of the people in study hall? There are all kinds of people and some of them are quite comical. One day as 1 was sitting in study hall, I glanced over to one of the freshman girls and what do you suppose I saw? There she was looking outdoors as if she didn't have a thing to do! Next in line was a sophomore boy was was slurping” over some old bug. All of a sudden there was a commotion in the junior section as one of the girls was fussing about not passing her typing test for the day. And way off in a corner all by himself was a senior boy trying desperately to get a theme written for English. But this doesn't take care of all of the kinds of people in study hall. There are those who are forever cracking their gum, taking the privilege of talking out loud, looking out the windows, passing notes back and forth to their friends, walking up and down the aisles to attract attention, and watching the clock as they wait for the bell to ring. Yes, all of these things go on in all of the study halls all over the world. Why don’t you come and visit one of our study halls some day and see for yourself. It really is a problem! 1947 THE WINNEB Library Standing (Left to Right)—Audrey Hassel, Kathryn Lameyer, Carolyn Johnson, Doris Christen, Elizabeth Ferro, Delores Statdfield, Eleanor Smith, Peggy Orr, Mary Tritie.

THE WINNEB ('hiill The Quill, which has now completed its sixteenth year, has a circulation of 135. It is distributed throughout the school and is also sent to other schools. The Quill was started in 1931. It was supported by advertisements and donations. We ceased taking advertisements in 1940 and now the Quill is published every month. It tells of all the activities going on in the school. During the war it published news and letters that were received by Mrs. Kasch from the Alumni who served in the armed forces. The assistant editor is a Junior, who, when he reaches the senior class, becomes editor. We, of the senior class, hope the Quill will continue for many years to come. We members of the Winneb staff were chosen by our adviser, Mrs. Kasch. We have attempted to present a record of all activities which go on during a year at Winnebago High. We chose as a theme Come With Us” which takes us through all of our activities, while we work, and while we play. This year we sold 150 books at $3.00 a book, payable in two installments. We hope you enjoy our annual as much as we enjoyed preparing it for you.

A. presented the play Nine Girls” on Friday and Saturday nights, March 14-15, at 8:00 P. M. They also gave a matinee for the school on Thursday. The cast was as follows: Jane.................................................... Clara Ferraro Freida Alice Eve Joyce Zimmerman Peggy Orr Helen Polkowski Sharon (Glamorpuss) Shirley Pat McGee Betty (Tennessee) Virginia Sherman Stella (Shotput) Elizabeth Ferro Mary Ellen Smith Phyllis Maralyn Hurd The prologue begins in the mountain-club-house, which two of the girls are- pre- paring to open. Jane strives to conceal the horror the place holds for her, but gives a cry of warning and terror as her friend approaches the place where a murdered body once lay concealed. Act One opens three years earlier with a radio announcer describing the shocking murder of Paula, a young college girl. But the room is empty and the girls drift in unaware of it. They chatter about Paula and her habit of always snatching other girls' men . . . the latest grab being Mary's boyfriend. Sharon taunts Mary until loyal Eve flies up ready to slap Sharon's ears down. The squabble is silenced by the announcer repeating the news of Paula's death. The girls are horrified, and Alice is under especial strain, for she has just received a letter from Paula that may supply an important clue. She confides this to only one of the girls . . . who burns the letter in the tense finale of the scene—and we know that Alice may have made a fatal error in choosing her confidante! The mood of doom is heavy in the second scene, in which the killer strikes at Alice, cleverly making her death seem a suicide. Only shrewd Eve rejects the suicide theory. But Eve, too, errs in her choice of confidante. The first attempt on Eve’s life fails . . . and then in a scene of cold horror another attempt is made. But, in Eve, the killer meets courage and shrewdness superior to her own, and in a tremendously exciting finale the killer is turned over to the punishment she deserves. THE WINNEB Dramatics APPLE BLOSSOM TIME On December 6, the people of Winnebago realized that they had a Hollywood right in their own back yard. The stars that are in Hollywood right now working on their first picture are: Tom Spielman Audrey Hassel Bruce Hodges Mary Tritle George Schaub Helen Polkowski David Newman Charlotte Null Bob Matthews Betty Ann Stewart Charles Lawrence Nancy Prescott Spud McClosky Malvina Kurtz Mickey Maguire Loretta Harris Rodney Clinite Cal Pickens Lois Poppen Polly Biddle Elizabeth Ferro Mrs. Forrest Shirley Gustafson Annabel Sprieeins SEVEN—Winnebago 7 7 7 7 Bob Matthews first experience in a small town is a violent encounter with an eighteen-year-old impudent whirlwind of a girl who rouses his ire to a boiling point, and then laughs derisively at his threats. Imagine his dismay when he finds that this is the giil over whom he is to act as guardian and who he thought was only ten years of age. The constable, who courts the cook, and an old maid furnish their share of laughs, as well as the two HICKS' from Sunshine Alley. The play cast wishes to thank Mrs. Anderson for her help in making the play such a grand success. We are also very happy to announce that we made approximately $150 which we will use toward printing the annual and commencement expenses. Student domicil The meeting will persent answer AYE!

JOHN STATDFIELD—A hard driving guard and always a threat in the back court. BOB LEAK—A sophomore playing his first year in the starting lineup. He should be one of our better players in the next two seasons. ARNOLD MEYERS—With the past year's experience and improvement in rebounding he should prove a good partner for Buddy under the baskets. HARLAN MITCHELL—A scrappy sophomore who should develop into an important cog in the next two seasons' teams. WARREN CUNNINGHAM—A southpaw junior and our utility man who took over when weaknesses showed up in the starting five. WARREN FALCONER— Buddy has handled a basketball only about a year but shows great promise as a brilliant rebounder and center in the coming years. LONNIE WEBB—Appointed captain of the B squad who should be fighting for a berth on the starting squad next season. JOHN WEERDA—A rugged player and one who should push others to keep him out of the regular lineup.

In this new system A is counted as 5 points, B as 4 points, C as 3 points, D as 2 points and E as 1 point. Each grade is recorded as the corresponding number of points and then they are averaged. In order to be on the honor roll each six weeks, a student must have at least a 4.5 average. A 4.5 average corresponds to two A's and two B's or 3 A's and one C. A perfect average is 5 which is all A's. At the end of the year those persons who have had at least a 4.5 average during the entire grading year are entitled to a scholarship letter. These letters are awarded to the students at Open House in May. National Honor Society Members of the Junior and Senior classes who have maintained an average of at least (B-) are eligible for election to the National Honor Society. A faculty committee selects from this list students who have excelled in service, leadership, and character. These students are named at Open House. They are presented with the medal of the National Society. The National Honor Society: 1. Defines and marks high standards for the ideal secondary school student. 2. Its national scope gives it high significance and unusual prestige. 3. It creates an enthusiasm for scholarship throughout the school. 4. It is a stimulus to the students to observe those acts by others that develop strong character. THE WINNEB Office Miss McNair....................................................Secretary Mr. O. L.
