In carrying out our school program throughout the year we have felt his sincere interest in our welfare and progress. His duties and responsibilities are many. Not only does he formulate plans for all the students, but he also mediates between the Board of Education and the teachers. Cn the lighter side of school life, he attends all school events and he can always be found in the cheering section at a game. With his sound and progressive ideas we all have confidence that he will lead ZfB. T. forward in the parade of education. Many times, long after we have shut our lockers the last time for the day, the Board of Education meets to work and plan for ZfB. T. They put in strenuous hours to make our educational opportunities the best. The president of the board is Howard Marshall. The secretary, Clarf ence Thompson, is ably assisted by Miss Myrtle Belle McElroy in keeping the records. The other members of this important group are Homer Wortham, Wesley Ashland, and Lee Fleming. Wcnrking among themselves and in cooperation with Mr. Pearce and the faculty, they are doing an excellent job of spending our money wisely. LPAGE ELEVEN 1 1, A4 AIQAISELLA F. G1.E1ss B.

Since Lewis so patrif otically offered his service to defend our country and the causes for which we are fighting, Clark took over the main responsibilities. Congratulations, boys, and you too, Lois, for you all displayed a unique style of leadership. Other outstanding members of this class were such individual athletics as Ole Olson and jerry Martin, who exhibited their skill on the football field: Kip Capp, who sank so many baskets on the basketball court, and Red LlAL1:lIlHTEENj en iam Ower and Bert Brown, who batted it out on the baseball diamond. Ole Olson, again, led the way on the track team, and Roger Schmalfuss, among the wrestlers, afforded a great number of grunts and thrills. The Senior class had not only great athletics, but also an unusually high scholastic standing. We must give them credit,, for they have presented more 90 average students than any previous class in the history of ZionfBenton. Thus the Seniors, with their sub' lime determination. to plunge on through, no matter what, have reached the top. In doing so, they have en' joyed every minute of it, what with their excellent parties, class play, and above all, the friendly and cofoperative feeling of their underclassmates. CLC!! t FRED W.

They have no officers as yet, but expect to hold an election soon after the next school term begins. The aim of the junior Red Cross is to assist the National Red Cross in every way possible. This year they have done mostly paper work, such as Christmas menu cards for ships at sea, Christmas card booklets for naval hospitals, etc., and they did a very fine job of putting on the annual Junior Red Cross Drive in our school. The boys, under the direction of Mr. Hainline in Vxfoodshop, are makf ing games, bed tables, and other things of Wood. To the junior Red Cross Club we extend a hearty voice of appreciation. oligrariand Our very efficient librarian, Miss Pearl Connell, is assisted by a number of students who voluntarily give their time to helping their classmates find reference material, checking out their books, and keeping books and cards in repair. These librarians receive no reward for their fine work, but give their time URTY I and effort entirely for the good of the school. Sometimes they may feel as though their efforts are not appref ciated, for students often neglect to give them a smile or a thank you, but here's to you student librarians and Miss Connell! To you we extend our heartiest vote of thanks. We're really grateful. .l. Jensen. A, Ruesch. CIfNTlzR Row: C. Noteboom. P. McCormick. D. Hieber. A, Leech. B. Hale. B. Philyaw. FRoNT Row: L. Siwula.

Theirs is the ref sponsibility of seeing that the big bold villain doesn't look as though he's blushing, while the poor little sick girl must look pale and anemic. Do they do a good job? You bet they do! Another group that deserves recognif tion is the stage crew. Bert McCreight, Bill Blonn, jerry Martin, and Bob Wzilters, are the strapping stalwartsn who shift the stage furniture around so easily. And they, too, are the ones responsible for the effective dimming of the lights just at the right time. ramaficd Among the most important events of the school year are the class plays. Every year the junior and Senior classes wage a war of competition trying to outfdo the other in both acting and salesmanship. The Junior Class play, Tomboy, was a real success. Kato Reinier, as the tomboy, had us all in spasms with her sarcastic witticisms about her more ladyflike sisters. The Senior Class play Little Women, was taken from the book of the same name by Louisa May Alcott. roizrv-'nw 1 The originality of this selection was heightened by the acting ability of the cast. Shirley Sabine was perfect as lo, and Betty Sieloff was a bewitching Amy. Billie Scillian, as Beth, died so convincingly that handkerchiefs were wrung out here and there, and people glanced around furtively to see if any' one was looking, dabbed surreptiously at their tears, and looked sheepish if anyone caught them at it. That is, they looked sheepish until they saw that trace of a tear in the other person's eye, too. The class of '45 scored a hit! 6401715 The high school mixed chorus, conf sisting of ninety members, has shown what can be accomplished by diligent practice and able leadership such as that provided by Mr. james Sanford. In its daily practice the chorus has shown versatility by singing all types of numbers, from old and beautiful hymns to the most recent popular hits. During the year the chorus gave performances for the annual music concert, assemblies, P. T. A. meetings, the Zion Garden Club, baccalaureate and graduation. I I'AfQli FURIY FH Bum Row: U. Peters. R.

To make sure that everyone got a chance to play in the band, these young and willing musicians were divided into two groupsg the advanced band having sixty members and the beginning band having twentyftwo members. p Under the capable direction of Mr. james Sanford, the band put on their annual concert, which consisted of marches, waltzes, and numer' ous other numbers. The concert was the high spot of the year for the band. Surely everyone who saw the concert will agree that congratuf lations are due to the band and its conductor for their fine performance. Band members are to be commended for their perserverance in rehearsf ing and practicing for this event. The band also provided delightful musical entertainment at football and basketball games, plays, assemblies, P. T.

Its purpose is to guide girls through home study courses, and to acquaint them with the fundamentals of home' making. lts aims: to improve stand' ards of social behavior, to improve the Home Ec. Department, and to provide recreation for high school girls. The officers, Evangeline Leech, president: Dorothy Ballegooyen, vice' president: Florence McQuaid, treasf urer: and Marie Hudson, secretary, have done much to lead the members of the Home Ec. Club to bigger and better management of education and social activities.

That was the drums calling everyone to the Zion' Benton High School's Fifth Annual Gym Circus! And everyone came!!! They thrilled to the marvelous and dar' ing stunts performed by the talented students of all four classes. Of course, the highlight of the cirf cus was the crowning of the Queen, Miss Billie De Young. She was crowned by Miss Carol jean Ingram, last year's retiring Queen and attended by seven of her classmates, Marilyn Fossland, Kathryn Erickson, Laurel Craig, Shirley Shanyfelt, Roberta Enloe, Betty Sieloff, and Jeanne Knight. Now! On with the show!! The boy's Commando Relay was won all three nights by Wes Colwell's blue team but the other teams offered stiff com' petition. Swing and sway, Both up and down With our slack wire artist, Bertie Brown. ln this manner, Bill Blonn, our great M.

Adele Ditzig and joan Rewey per' formed many stunts with grace and ease with their cofworkers, those two musclemen of ZfB. T., Paul LaBelle and Dennis Burgan. Zoom!

Many of the parents in the audience had heart I PAGE FORTY-EIGHT 1 ircbw failure as these daredevils swung from hanging by their knees to hanging by their ankles. Virgil Ford would have succeeded in sitting on his stool on the tight wire but for that mean clown, Corwin Ringling Gustafson, Lester Koetz Hnally accomplished the feat with no interruptions from the funny one. Ladies and Gentlemen! The Great Murriano!! He will turn a complete somersault in the air and land in a chair on the shoulders of an assistant. .lim Murrie accomplished this stupendous feat, which was much enjoyed by the patrons. Hark! What's that? What hapf pened to the lights? Is it a hurricane? Keep your seats, folks! It's only Mr. Sanford with his band and three top cornetists, Clifton Capp, james Booth, and Edson Light, playing a unique arrangement of Stormy Weather. 27, 28, 29, 30 - The crowd anxiously counts the number of times the Human Pinwheel, Don Pierson, goes around on the trapeze. The six other Stalwarts preceded him by such acts of strength as hanging by their heels and toes and chinning themselves with one hand. Marilyn Fossland, Florene Rooks, Genevra Rooks, and Joan Solberg demonstrated frontward and backward flips, yogi tricks, and twists on the trampoline. The Clown's ballet showed the grace and good figures of some of ZfB's more renned lads. Wonder if Jim Murrie can finish his backbend yet? Boy's and girl's Tumbling Teams were at perfection as they somersaulted many human bodies without a mishap. Squeek! Went the springs of the trampoline as the boy's enacted face' flaps, frontward and backward flips, and other combinations of tramp stunts but the springs were unnoticed because of the boy's excellent showmanship. Many in the audience would have liked to try out the trampoline themselves. Last of all were the girl's beautiful pyramids of symmetry and design and the boy's pyramids of dizzying height and massive strength. They introduced a new kind of pyramid, the walking pyramid. The circus ended with a song by our soprano soloist, Audrey Bourdeau! The crowd has broken up and are LlAGlllII'Y1 ircud moving outside. Praise and comments fill the air. Best circus I've ever seen. Didn't know the kids could do it. Wonderful spirit, must have taken a lot of work. Yes, it did take a lot of work. To have a circus, there must be some inf dividuals who have the mind of a genius, the initiative of a Wall Street bigwig and the persistence, determination, and tenacity of an octopus. We have some of these people right here and to them goes the credit for that irresistible charm of arena performance and mag' nificent pageantry.

This year golf and tennis were added to the already impressive list of sports open to student participation, which includes baseball, basketball, football, track, and wrestling. With this development of a more complete activities program came added ACI HI lYfI.XXHj interest in the program and greatly increased attendance at Zee Bee games. Not only the students but also the parents joined in the cheers and some' times - regrettably -M the jeers. This year as never before a decided upward trend was noted in the for' tunes of ZionfBenton's athletic teams. A permanent record of their athletic achievements for 1944745 follows.

Ray Miller turned out one of the cleverf est, speediest, and most versatile foot' ball teams which has ever represented ZionfBenton High School on the grid' iron. Cutweighed and outmanned in every game they played, the Zee Bees never stopped fighting, win or lose. Through this sheer determination, victory was theirs in 2 out of the 7 regular season games. In these 2 games Washingtcin Park bowed 2744 and Waukesha was beaten l2f0. ZionfBenton's gridiron warriors also notched another victory when they whipped Antioch in a mid' week practice game 13f7. Novelties on the football schedule this season were the night games at Belvidere and Harvard. This marked the first appearance of a ZionfBenton High School football squad under lights. Only 3 varsity lettermen returned Yfl-1 Hllll l from the 1943 team. They were Alf fred Olson, the brilliant end and kicker who was elected captain for 1944: Burton Brown, versatile lineman who shifted to center this year: and jerry lvlartin, clever backfield man who han' dled the signal calling all season. All indications point to a more sucf cessful season next year with 7 varsity members returning. A host of reserve talent is also available. LE Alfred Ulson-A quiet and un' assuming captain, Al's actions spoke for themselves. LT ,lack Simpson-Small but solid and a fighter all the way. LG Daniel Banks-Calm and effif cient with great team spirit. C Burton Brownw-An aggressive, allfaround player who made hard plays look easy.

The calibre of play and the fine spirit which these boys displayed throughout the strenous season seems to point to brighter days ahead for varsity football at ZionfBenton. Harry Casteel, stalwart lineman, was elected captain by his teammates. Uutstanding varsity prospects for 1945 include Kenneth Allen, Wesley Anderson, William Burt, Harold Cas' teel, Harry Casteel, Elmer Maynard, Thomas Shaffer, Charles Sieloff, and William Walker.

Eugene Burgan, LaVerne Edwards, Robert Fletcher, Eugene Hershberger, Charles Revoy, Ronald Robinson, and Everett Walters were the most brilf liant linemen, while Melvin Hildebrandt, Donald LaBelle, Homer McNz1bb, and Wendell Studebaker stood out in the backfield. 1 I l Z 'K V I ,i ,K iv , J , 4 CHEERIEADERS R.

With returning varsity lettermen Capp, Martin, Berry, and Clfner, plus Eagle and McDowell of the Reserves, to build around, Varsity Basketball Coach Fred Stanton molded the Zee Bees into a very formidable, smoothly functioning basketball machine which averaged 39 points a game, while holdf ing the combined opposition to an average of 28 points per game.

Capp tallied 345 points in season play to set a new individual scoring mark for a ZionfBenton High School player. He also distinguished himself by being named on the Vxfaukegan Regional Tournament AllfStar team. Martin was an outstanding defensive player and it was Coach Stantons' cus' tom to put him opposite the best scorer the opposition could place on the court. Numbered among those who fell before the rampaging Zee Bees were such formidable rivals as St. Catherine of Racine, Washingtcin Park, and Kenosha. The Warren and St. Cather' ine games were especially thrilling, for the outcome was not decided until the final seconds of both games. ln the last game of the regular season thc Niles'Trojans, champions of the North' east Conference and winners of the Vxfaukegan Regional Tournament, bare' ly edged out the fastfclosing Zion' Benton team. In the Wziiikegan Regional Tournaf ment, a very worried New Trier team rallied in the last quarter to defeat the tiring Zee Bees, 47f33. Majcir letters were awarded to Cliff ton Capp, .lerry Martin, Neal Berry, Burton Brown, Richard Eagle, lack McDowell, Clark Cffner, Donald Cwer. Much of the credit for the highly successful year should go to Coach Fred Stanton, who has brought winning basketball teams to ZionfBenton High School at last.

Two of their defeats were by the narf row margin of 2 points and one of these was an overtime game. The Reserves showed a considerable amount of strength in averaging 32 points per game while holding the combined opposition to a meager averf age of 19 plus points per game. james King acted as captain during the first semester. Donald Neave sucf ceeded him then and held that honor until the end of the season. The highlight of the Reserve season was the thrilling defeat of the Niles Trojans, winners of the Northeast Conference lightweight championship. The Zee Bees also gained revenge on Lake Forest and Wzirren by trouncing them in return games after bowing to each the first time they met. Among those boys who gained inf valuable experience with the Reserves and should find a berth on the Varsity squad next year are Donald Mziples, Elmer Maynard, Donald Neave, Lloyd Pierson, and Glen Rich. james King and Charles Sielolf also were outstanding prospects until inf eligibility stopped them. 194445 RESERVE BASKETBALL SCCRES ZionfBenton f 28 ZionfBenton f 38 ZionfBenton f 16 ZionfBenton f 37 Richmond fffff 3 ZionfBenton Freshmen f 24 Warren ' 30 Hebron ffffff 3 1 ZionfBenton f 17 Lake Forest f f 19 ZionfBenton f 20 Lake Forest f f 14 ZionfBenton f 3 2 Wauccmiida f f 17 ZionfBenton f 18 St. Catherine f f 26 ZionfBenton f 26 Warren f f f 18 fc,lHIllll1llCll iwli page eightvj I l'A1il'i l ll'l1 lhiik Row: Mr. Stanton.

Hainline, the 1944f45 ZionfBenton High School wrestling team, in its second year of competition, proved to be a formidable opponent in all its meets. Because schools of ZionfBenton's size do not include wrestling as a part of their sports programs, matches with much larger schools appeared on the wrestling schedule. New Trier, Amundsen fChicagoj, and Washington Park prof vided the opposition for the Zee Bees in six meets throughout the season. Of the 40 boys who reported to Coach Hainline, Dennis Burgan, in the 175 pound class, was a standout perf former, winning 5 out of 6 conflicts in regular season competition. ln the Proviso District Tournament, Burgan lost a very close decision to Strand of six rY1rxx'o 3 Blue Island, who went on to win the 175 pound championship. Besides Burgan, letters were awarded to Ernest Derrebery, James Hoyt, and Roger Schmalfuss at the close of the season. Great as was this year's improvement, next year should be still more successful as only two Varsity members, James Hoyt and Roger Schmalfuss, will be lost by graduation. Returning will be john Anderson, Daniel Banks, Dennis Burgan, Eugene Burgan, Eugene LaPell, Robert Mason, Thomas Peters, and Nicholas Peters. Through the efforts of Mr. Hain' line, who was primarily responsible for the addition of wrestling to the ZionfBenton sports curriculum, Elgin High School has been added to the schedule for next year. lljarfiify jracl' Track bowed into the sports picture at ZionfBenton for the first time in the spring of 1944. A large number of boys showed their interest in the sport by turning out for practice the first day that Track Coach Fred Stanton issued the call. Although the season seemed dismal in the win column, it was in reality a success, for the experience gained throughout the schedule of dual meets was priceless and will undoubtedf ly show up to great advantage this year. Meets were held with Kenosha, Washington Park, Horlick, Liberty' ville, and Lake Forest. The season came to a close with the Lake County meet at Lake Forest. Even though defeated in these meets, the Zee Bees showed the same dogged determinaf tion which is so prominent in all Zion' Benton athletic teams. Captain Robert Burt was the inf dividual scoring leader, with forty points in competition. Besides Burt, other letter winners were William Blonn, Mike Kerpan, Howard Marze, Elmer Maynard, LeRoy Minton, Alfred Clson, and Burton Stockstill. The loss of Arnold Johnson, who enlisted in the Navy early in the season, and John Eliason, injured in the iirst meet, was sorely felt. Their presence throughout the entire schedf ule would have doubtless resulted in an improved record. Prospects for the 1945 season are considerably brighter with the return of 5 letter men. They are Alfred Clson, elected captain for 1945g Wil' liam Blonn, Mike Kerpan, Howard Marze, and Elmer Maynard. Cther outstanding varsity prospects include William Burt, Harold Casteel, Harry Casteel, Richard Eagle, Robert Edge, Donald Maples, jerry Martin, Charles McDowell, Jack McDowell, Donald Neave, and Don Pierson. In the hrst intrafclass meet the Seniors were victorious. The juniors took second place. I I'AI2li SIXTYITH Bfxfik Row: XY. Burt. VW. Blonn. D. Ncavc. E, Maynard. M. Kcrpan, H. Marzc. E. Lapell.

Here is that sheet of news which has just been completed under the efficient hands of Miss McElroy. May I introduce to you .our host for this pictorial trip, The Secondfhour Bulletin. After being prooffread by our editorf infchief, Mr. Pearce, The Bulletin now starts off on its daily circulation. Cut of the office we go and into the now empty corridor, which still echoes with infbetweenfclass shouts and scurryf ing footsteps. Up, up, we go on the down stairs. Take a breath on the landing and then up again ,to study hall. Here in study hall anything can hapf pen and usually does. Over in a corner a freshie is gazing out the window. A junior is putting little curly lines in a notebook, which she will try to decipher in shorthand class. There are two sophomores trying to figure out why a tangent to a circle is ,perpendicular to the radius at its point of contact. A senior is slaving to get her outline done for American History. Another fresh' man looks helplesslyat his Latin as he tries to understand the third declension. Miss Victorik has finished reading The Bulletin nowg so we will go on with our trip. I With a click of the latch we now find ourselves in the land of beautiful L'senoritas. The Spanish I class gives a silent cheer as Senorita Mudgett turns from those impossible verb tenses to circulate our news. Leaving long faces to Hhablo, hablas, habla, we will track down those evil smells from across the hall. The Chem' istry class is absorbed in their test tubes and Bunsen burners. While Miss I I'Allli SIX'liYfSlX I .gclmof af MAP Studer is penetrating the atom filled air with words of h'The Bulletin let's take a closerflook at that queer looking mix' ture of formulas in that tube. Goodbye for now to bottles and vials as we cross the hall to witness the nimble lingers ,of our ZfB Art class. Up in front of the class a member is posing for quick sketches. Well, yes, it does have a resemblance, we assure a wouldfbe artist and then resume our tour. In Physics class, our next stop, we come face to face with an amazing sight. What is the class doing playing with little toy cars, blocks, and strings! As Miss Klinge reads The Bulletin an industrious player , tells us that they are experimenting with simple machines and the strings are connecting pulleys. With a merry smile teacher shoos us out and on we go. Thirsty? Take a drink at the most popular place between bells, .our bubf bling bubbler. All set? Now let's invade the Biology room with its protozoa and dis' sected frogs. The microscopes are operating today and the sophomores are peeking at a new world of little cells. They take time oil to listen to our bulf letin being read by Mr. Mason, and then back again to rwork as we leave. We have canvassed the top floor and so now down the banister of the up stairs to continue. Greetings to.the Juniors as the door squeaks open and we announce our' selves in Miss Kings Economics class. From their pained expressions we can guess that they are having a daily check quiz. Let's disturb them no longer and ramble on to English IH. Here we again find ourselves surf rounded by tluniors. Today they have left their grammar books behind to I l'A1iIi SIXI'YfSI'.X'liN I Sion! af MAI' unravel the mystery of rhythm and rhyme. After Miss Lee reads The Bulletin we leave them thoughtfully for dreamily?D chewing on their pencils. From English III to English I where we join the freshmen riding charging horses with the knights of L'Ivanhoe. Miss johnson breaks through their visions ,with our news. Back to the 20th Century and gas coupons now as we go onward. We must tiptoe into this room for the typing I class is taking a speed test. As the typists in their back ground of clicking keys cannot be disturbed, Miss Gleiss takes notes on The Bulletins' contents to be announced later. Gently close the door and across the hall to where x + 2 I y is being solved. Here in Algebra I class the members eagerly listen to letters that make sense in words from our Bullef tin instead of unpredictable letters in binomials and trinomials. Let's depart while Miss Krughoff goes on to explain that it is possible to subtract 4 from 2. We are now passing an empty room where we find a senior rehearsing her mild sensation for public speaking class the next hour. Good luck to her and sailAon to Bookkeeping class. There we see the sophomores learn' ing how to be useful in the business world. Mr. Wathen interrupts their ledger balancing for our news and then business resumes as usual. Again we go down the stairs and this time to the basement floor. First stop is the cafeteria where we are greeted by the strains of p Qnward Christian Soldiers. Mr. Sanford's choral group is working hard on do, re, me for the next P. T. A. meeting. Knowing that, as always, the altos will I P,-Milf SlX'I'Y'IiIlIH'Ii 1 ,SZAOJ af 'lfllw reach that note, we now say goodbye to them. Let's turn a few corners and explore down a long hall to discover a group of boys sitting before crossflegged benches. They are Mr. Hain1ine's first year mechanical drawing class trying their skill with T squares, rulers, and com' passes. Looking around the room we also discover a semifcircle of music stands. This is the band room also where dur' ing third hour the tooting freshmenptest the scales. Here in fourth hour the advanced band combine their talents into sweet melodies and vigorous marches. Back around the corners and down the corridor to the future homemakers of Home Economics I. The class is in the kitchen today making cornbread. Miss Rice, head chef, is lending every' one a helping hand. The Bulletin sounds rather odd with 1 cup flour , stir constantly and add pinch of salt appearing between news items. Although the aroma is wonderful we must continue. Bang! Bang! Cuch! The sounds from Industrial Arts class lead us to assume that someone missed a nail. As Mr. Stanton shouts our news above the noise of machines, let's watch the chips fly from the lathe. Back through the corridor and up the stairs to the office. Before Vending our trip we must visit the gym. Qn open' ing the door we hear a few groans which are explained when we see the boys doing their calisthenics. Mr. Miller is calling the counts and they are really working for their muscles. Rest time to receive our news. We have arrived back at our starting point now, so we will say goodbye to our host and we hope you like the trip.

Mom and Pop returned to school after years. They enjoyed each class thoroughly. Some, however, were puffing rather hard after having to climb the stairs for the third time. ,OCT. 6, 1944 Waukesha, you're defeated, was the glad cry of the ZfB students as we came smash' ing through with a l2fO victory. All our yelling was not in vain! OCT. 13, 1944 The football squad tasted a bitter defeat on this, our homecoming, day. Many of the alumni were out there watching our boys put up a valiant but unsuccessful fight against Lake Geneva. A dance held in the gym aff ter the game helped to lighten our heavy hearts. All alumni were invited. . OCT. 17, 1944 The LatinfSpanish students decided it was time that they, too, had a party. Tonight was the night they were to substitute pleasure for the old homework routine. The games played at the party made them forget that they had ever struggled with a language. All were happy that they had taken Spanish or Latin so that they were eligible to come. in fke War Zzazifer OCT. 20, 1944 Although the football fans dragged home with reddened hands and sore throats, our team was unable to defeat the Belvidere boys. Since this was the first night game we've played, our defeat must have been caused by the lights! OCT. 23, 1944 The teachers went to school this day. Stu' dcnts regretfully stayed home because of the North Shore Teachers' meeting. OCT. 24, 1944 Annual pictures were taken this morning.

DEC. 4, 1944 Christmas music floated down the halls of ZfB. T. H. S. tonight as our parents and teachers got together for another meeting. Some of the Public Speaking class talked on What Christmas Means to Me. Was that drum background music or their knees? DEC. 5, 1944 Will we never lose? Beat Hebron tonight 49453. DEC. 7, 1944 Pearl Harbor day and again the junior Band gave a stirring concert. DEC. S, 1944 Another happy dance, this time a matinee dance, after we beat Waukesha this afternoon.

DEC. 15, 1944 I'm glad my Mom didn't see how fast Jack Rank could dress in assembly today or she'd never understand why it takes me so long to get ready for school. The seniors' study of Macbeth finally came in handy. Mr. Rank was good, wasn't he? DEC. 15, 1944 The Christmas Dance was a huge success, both in entertainment and proceeds. We dis' covered we have a very talented songstress in our midst, Miss Audrey Bourdeau. Vic also arranged for Carmen Miranda to be present in a lavish South American accent and costume.

Weather was perfect for ice skating, skiing, tobogf ganing, and all. Although we return with long, sad faces, it takes little time to get back in to the old groove. One drastic change has been made in our educational institution. Because of a fire resulting from spontaneous combustion, we ind the lower hall minus one storeroom, and the woodwork and walls blisf tered and cracked. However, it was dehnitely proved that no student was trying to sabotage our good old school! JAN. 4, 1945 Everyone is sporting new Christmas pres- ents. The big broad grin on Beatrice Swan's face couldn't be because she has a new piece of jewelry on the third linger, left hand, could it? Best wishes, Bea! JAN. 6, 1945 Winning streak resumed as we beat Lake Forest, 39f28. JAN. 10, 1945 Who washed Beaver Schmalfuss's face during the third period Geometry class? Not to mention any names, but you really did surf prise him, didn't you, Miss Studer? JAN. 12, 1945 Neighbors grumble as they turn over in their beds and try to go back to sleep, only to be awakened by another loud shriek. No one is being killed! It is just the ZfB rooters letting out some of that extra enthusiasm ref sulting from our win over St. Catherines 33451. Both teams were tied nearly all the way through, but the Zee Bees dood it again. JAN. 16, 1945 How is your vision? Is your reaction speed high or low? In case of emergencies, do you know what to do? After taking a safety test given by Police Sgt. john De Pew, many of us were able to answer these and many other questions concerning the type of driver or pedestrian we'll make. ollooling gacgwar FIVE MONTHS AGC Continued JAN. 19, 1945 5 The allfschool party to be given in honor of the class that won the bond drive took place tonight. lt was enjoyed not only by the winning class, but by all because the school, instead of the losers, paid the expenses, and the faculty took care of all other arf rangements. No wonder everyone was in top spirits! 1 JAN. 20, 1945 Warren came here for revenge, but they tasted bitter defeat once again. Score was 43 to 27 in our favor. JAN. 25, 26, 1945 Study hall is filled to capacity before the janitor has a chance to unlock the doors. All around you see students guilty of crammer's crouch. Even in their state of extreme agony, these eager beavers are able to make a few wisecracks such as, Charlie, you'd bet' ter close your eyes before you bleed to death. This scene holds true not only in the study hall, but in every vacant room, for today is the day known to all schoolfgoers as EfDay. fExam Dayj JAN. 30, 1945 The Band gave its annual concert tonight. All who attended were certainly amazed at the improvement both the bands and the chorus had made. Those who had heard them practicing couldn't believe it! You could easily have imagined that you were listening to a Chicago Philharmonic concert. Maybe I'm just prejudiced though! JAN. 31, 1945 Sam Campbell, the noted naturalist, hon' ored us once again by speaking to us in asf sembly and showing us some of his natural colored pictures. We all freely admitted that it was one of the most interesting assembly programs we've had this year. FCUR MCNTHS AGO FEB. l, 1945 Don't vibrate! Mr. Klein is here again. A lot of lucky club and gym kids got out of class today to have their annual pictures taken. in fda Wolf Zlcwfer Another lucky dozen or so helped him with his equipment. FEB. 2, 1945 All the Juniors were very happy today- their class party is tonight. FEB. 4, 1945 Anasthesia is on the beam. We beat Northf brook tonight 3960. FEB. 5, 1945 The school was greatly shocked and sorf rowed to hear of the death of Mervin Cena yesterday in an auto accident. Merve was a junior who will be missed, yet remembered by all, especially so in the athletic depart' mcnt where he was a manager. FEB. 7, 1945' So far the basketball team has won 13 out of 15 basketball games. Pretty slick, eh!! FEB. 8, 1945 We've had a new SeniorfFrosh romance in school since the Christmas Dance. I'd better not tell you their names but here's a hint- their parents' names are De Pew and Nielson. FEB. 13, 1945' Beat Washington Park tonight in a fast game. Reserve score 16fl8. Varsity 27f36.

I noticed the Juniors had to struggle along with the Seniors on it, too. FEB. 24, 1945' Niles Center is pretty good in basketball. They beat us 30-36. It was the last game of the '44945 season too. Oh, well the dance afterwards cheered us up. FEB. 27, 1945 Four bells echoed through the halls after second hour today. We whizzed down to the gym, hitting as few frosh as possible and found we were having a pep meeting, the last one this year. Mr. Stanton called the team on the floor to be commended for hard work all season. Weeds Wedekind is home on leave from the Navy. Guess what senior girl is walk' ing on clouds! I PAGE SEVENTY THREE 1 911004019 Z?acLwar THREE MONTHS AGO MAR. 2, 1945 The Seniors challenged the future varsity players to a basketball game after school tof day. The Seniors won, but it was a very close game. I guess it proves that the under' classmen can get along without us. We didn't think so until now, though!! MAR. 5, 1945 Senior class play tryouts were held tonight. Already a play that promises to afford us an evening of good entertainment has been picked. Plans are in the making to try to outdo the record set by the junior's play. The question upmost in all our minds now is, Can they do it? MAR. 7, 1945 The circus atmosphere can at last be sensed as everyone begins to practice dilif gently for this outstanding event of the year. The circus queen's court was voted upon. All are being urged to save their pennies in or' der that they may vote for the girl they want to be queen. The circus queen candidates are saying hello to everyone now! MAR. 9, 1945 What, another Senior class party? Many envious juniors made this remark, but the Seniors were too busily engaged in preparing themselves for a rollicking good time to pay much attention to this note of sarcasm. The party met all their expectations and left no one disappointed. The highlight of the eve' ning was a baby bottle contest. jim Hoyt must have practiced beforehand for he finf ished his bottle much much sooner than the rest! The prize he received was very approf priate -- a bottle of ENLOE GUERNSEY DAIRY MILK. MAR. 12, 1945 Very early every morning you now see drowsyfeyed girls dragging up the high school steps where once the lively freshmen basket' ball team trod. QThis is further proof that the circus is but a few days awayj MAR. 14, 1945 An assembly was called for the purpose of viewing some pictures on the dangers of I PAGE SEVENTY-FOUR Il in fde War ,gud fer T. B. Each year about this time, we all are urged to take advantage of these tests which are given free to every student having their parents' consent. We are then informed of the date these tests are available. All return to the classroom feeling uneasy for we know that sometime in the not too distant future we will once again be pricked by that little old needle. MAR. 15, 1945 jerry and Kip not only missed school today, but got to see the state tournament games at Champaign, Illinois, Mr. Stanton is still sick about having to miss them this year, especially when his former school, Spring' Held, was among the teams playing. Cheer up though, Mr. Stanton. Springfield lost any' way!! MAR. 16, 1945 Miss Victorik and Mr. Miller were having the time of their lives trying to direct the circus dress rehearsal tonight-or where they? Bets were being made on whether Mr. Miller would be hoarse the next day, while in the meantime, Miss Victorik was trying in vain to remain calm when she found that sevf eral were missing from her pyramid group. MAR. 20f2 4, 1945 For three consecutive nights our circus performances draw record breaking crowds. All who attend are amazed by the spectacular feats of daring, plus the beauty and timing of the entire circus. The clowns, many said, did one of the best jobs that has ever been done in the difficult task of amusing the people. Ringmaster Blonn proved to the audience that he is never at a loss for words. Billie De Young, with her court, reigned over the circus during all three performances. The crowning of her majesty was a highlight of each evening's performance. Yet, as all good things must come to an end, so must the cirf cus's engagement. So, it is with a sigh of relief, yet regret, that we bid our circus days goodfbye for another year. MAR. 30, 1945 No school today! Easter vacation has at last come. These vacations scattered here and there throughout the year are certainly lifesavers! 1 l'.'Xl2I SIVX'l'N'I'Y l IX'l'j Jookng Zgachuar TWO MONTHS AGO APRIL 3, 1945 Mr. Koetz was to speak on liquid air before the P.

The money earned is used to promote our physical education program. APRIL 10, 1945 We were hosts to Warren at a baseball game today. APRIL ll, 1945 Dr. Mischler, pinchfhitting for Dr. Studef baker, gave us a very interesting talk this afternoon on how to care for and preserve our teeth. 1 APRIL 13, 1945 The Seniors were in all their glory today. For, it was this evening that they presented to the student body and to the citizens of our fair city the play, Little Women. Wasn't Burt Brown cute in that light green suit and ruffled shirt? APRIL 16, 1945 This afternoon Mr. Emil Liers presented a talk on otters and showed motion pictures of his pets. We met our first otters in person. APRIL 19, 1945 The Girls Physical Education department selected some of its most adept volleyball and basketball players and competed with the girls from Woodstock High School in a fast and furious game. Woodstock beat Zion in basketball, while we beat them in volleyball. APRIL 20, 1945 The day of doom is close at hand! Today marks the end of the fifth sixth weeks period. APRIL 24, 1945 Little Egbert, along with the other mem' bers of Miss Lee's Public Speaking class, pref sented an assembly program for us today. Aff ter we had heard the comical and the serious speeches given by the members, we agreed that public speaking was a worthwhile course to include in our school schedule. APRIL 25, 1945 The G. A.

ONE MONTH AGO MAY 1, 1945 The Seniors' big day is but a month away! Without our realizing it, time has been slipf ping by and graduation day is drawing near. The Seniors are still exchanging class pictures and cards. This, however, continues 'till the last day of school. MAY 4, 1945 At last the day which every Senior looks forward to has come! No longer must they do their bit of work to be numbered among those present at the annual alumni banquet. This year they are the guests of honor!! By the looks on each of their faces, they're enjoy' ing every minute of it, too. MAY 11, 1945 One banquet after another, but how we love it! Although we tease the Juniors about having an inferior class, we really ap- preciate the trouble they go to in preparing such a wonderful evening for us. The food was delicious. Every plate was left com- pletely clean. All returned home in high spirits as excellent entertainment was furf nished. MAY 27, 1945 Baccalaureate services were held today. It gives us all a big thrill to be able to don those maroon caps and gowns we've been dreaming of for four long years. The sermon at the services inspired exery Senior and encouraged him to strive for the high ideals of life. JUNE 1, 1945 To the strains of Pomp and Circumstance the Seniors march, two by two, down the aisle to take their places among the members of the graduating class. Mr. Marshall, president of the Board, is on hand with his stories- and most important of all-the diplomas. Each graduate waits impatiently to hear his name called out so that he or she may walk across the platform to receive the treasured reward. After the ceremony is over, we once again resume our life of leisure for another summer. But we all secretly regret having to leave ZionfBenton's familiar halls of learning.

Cakferia Genuine homage is due to Mrs. Randle and her dependable helpers, Mrs. Dronen, Mrs. Wade, and Mrs. Hendrickson, who are doing a splendid job of serving delectable meals to hungry students and teachers. Alf though the shortage of food and rationf ing has caused 'many difliculties, our cooks have been able to prepare and to serve us vvellfbalanced meals. Realizing the need of such meals, our state and federal governments have given the cafeteria financial aid, which amounts to approximately 34,000 an' nually. In other words, the govern' ment pays llc per meal. However, in order to receive this aid, Mrs. Randle must abide by the requirements that are set up-a complete meal must be served. Because of these meals, students have gained weight. In a survey, those students who carried a lunch did not gain weight as those who enjoyed the cafeteria lunches. A little should be said of those stu' dents who forfeit a study period to help in the cafeteria. In return for this they receive a full meal each day at the ex' pense of the cafeteria. To you, Mrs. Randle and your help' ers, we have shown our appreciation each day as we have partaken of the dinners you prepared, but We want to take this opportunity to thank you again for your fine work. an iford The floors are clean, we are Warm in winter, and we can get those little forgotten things after the door is locked because of our friendly and efficient staff of janitors. Their endless job goes on through the school day and Aklli SlfVliN'l'Yflil4LllT 1 continues to the closing hour of a social event.

Ray Miller, broke even in an abbreviated four game schedule in 1944. Warren provided the first opposition and twice succumbed, by large margins, to the powerful Zee Bees. The season ended on a more dismal note, how' ever, with two defeats by Wilmot and cancellation of four other scheduled games, due to the ever present rain. Outhelder Robert Burt, third base' man -lerry Martin, first baseman Don' ald Ower, and pitcher Harold Ruesch returned from the 1943 varsity. Arnold johnson, another varsity regular in '43, was lost to the Navy. The 1944 ZionfBenton baseball var' sity players were as follows: Harold Ruesch . . . pitcher Burton Brown . . . catcher Donald Ower . . . first base James King . . . second base -lack McDowell . . short stop jerry Martin third base Clifton Capp . left field Robert Burt center field Eugene Davis right held Wesley Anderson, Roger Schmalfuss, Thomas Shaffer, and jack Simpson formed very capable reserve strength. Prospects for 1945 are excellent, for, with the exception of Robert Burt and Harold Ruesch, lost by graduation, and Eugene Davis, who joined the Mer' chant Marine the entire 1944 team will remain intact. An eight game schedule has been arranged which inf cludes such formidable opponents as Highland Park, Wilmot, and Warren. At the close of the 1944 season an intrafclass tournament was held. The Juniors were victorious over the Sophomores in the title game. 1944 VARSITY BASEBALL ZionfBenton f f f 1 1 ZionfBenton f f f 1 5 ZionfBenton f f 4 ZionfBenton f f 8 Totals ffff' 38 Warrenfffff 4 Warren f f 1 Wilmot f f 7 Wilmot f f 1 7 29 1944-45 .fdfllific anagerri No athletic team can function smoothly without competent managers and the Zee Bees are no exception. The managerial duties of the athletic department were capably handled by a very efficient group who attended to large and small alike without com' plaint. All through the year these boys were on the job, day in and day out, doing their part to promote win' ning teams at Zion-Benton High School. Bert McCreight served in the capa' city of Senior Manager. Under him were james Murrie, George Youngren, and, until his untimely death, Mervin Cena. 1944f45 RESERVE BASKETBALL SCORES ZionfBenton f ZionfBenton - 27 QCvertimej ZionfBenton f 3 1 ZionfBenton f 3 3 ZionfBenton f 43 ZionfBenton f 1 8 ZionfBenton f 29 Totals f f f 45' 5' IP wa EIGHTY J QContinued from p 42 age fiftyfninel Richmond ffff 9 Wilmot f f 29 Northbrook f f 1 5 Wauconda f f - 1 7 Hebron ffffff 2 1 Washington Park f f 16 Niles ffff f 26 315 B.
