Foreword 



In this U and I, the Class of 1945 has attempted to 
combine the gaiety and humor of high school life with 
a proportionate amount of its seriousness and impor- 
tance. We have brought forth, with the aid of our 
faculty advisers, an annual that we believe includes a 
complete record of the school year in a new and differ- 
ent theme. In expressing this theme, we of the staff 
believe that even though high school is the last shelter 
for many of us, before we tread the world's pathways 
alone, still it has a lightness and carefreeness that can- 
not be ignored. The Class of 1945 wishes to remember 
and record not only the valuable training we have re- 
ceived, but also the wonderful times we have had while 
receiving it. 

If you enjoy this U and I even a fraction as much 
as we have enjoyed working on it, we shall feel that 
our efforts have not been in vain.

Dedication 



We, the Class of 1945, dedicate this U and I to 
Mr. Yynce A. Hines, in sincere appreciation for his 
enduring patience, watchful diligence, and ever-helpful 
assistance. As boys' adviser, he has handled a difficult 
job supremely well ; as a class adviser, he has encour- 
aged our constructive projects and tempered our wilder 
ideas ; and he has ever been ready and willing to chap- 
eron our picnics and parties. 

Mr. Hines, we thank you for being such a good 
"parent" and such a good friend throughout our high 
school years.

The Storm of Life 



They have been splendid, these unforgotten years 

That have found us, as one, in pursuit of knowledge; 

But alas, we must go, for the hour glass is emptying — 

Emptying us, as its grains, into the awaiting world. 

These marble halls have been as a common refuge — 

A refuge from the outside storm, the storm of life. 

Now we are destined to descend into this mysterious unknown, 

To be strewn far and near, as pollen in the wind. 

The time is upon us, as death is upon the stricken, 

Never faltering, but slowly moving on its monotonous way. 

We must not fail, for now life's storm is reaching — 

Reaching to thrust us into its chaos — forever. 

Joe; Ambrose

The Open Gate 



As we close our lockers for the last time and think back on five glorious 
years of pleasure and study, the highlights of those years seem to come back 
to us. Before stepping through the open gate into a larger, more complex world 
of problems and consequences, let us once more live those highlights. 

As Sub-Freshmen we elected Kent Hobart, president ; Janet Anderson, vice- 
president ; Harlan Johnson, treasurer ; and Barbara Dobbins, secretary. We ably 
assisted the Class of '44 in their spring dance and supervised a March of Dimes 
campaign throughout the school. Our talent assembly was the best one of the year 
in the eyes of all students. 

Upon returning as Freshmen the next fall, we chose Charles Gray to pound 
the gavel, Harriet v Shedd to serve in his absence, Clinton Granger to be purser, 
and Robert Fellows, to be scribe. Our spring dance added tremendously to the 
success of the social functions of that year. 

As Sophomores our influence was felt more and more in school activities. 
Our boys began participating increasingly in athletics, and the girls led in Pleiades 
activities. We selected Paul Hartman as president; Harriet Shedd, vice-president; 
Charlotte Mittendorf, secretary ; and Douglas Weitzel, treasurer. 

Our next year, as Juniors r was full of activities, happiness, and homework 
for all. We put out the first issue of the Just-Us, which became a crowning success. 
Our assembly, Junor House, was proclaimed a riot, and the Class of '44 felt that 
our Junior-Senior prom was a beautiful climax to a high school career. Thomas 
Benner was elected as captain ; William Schoonmaker, first mate ; Edward Deam, 
purser; and Douglas Weitzel, keeper of the log. 

During our Junior year the boys were represented numerously on the athletic 
teams and were praised for their intellect in scholastic endeavor. Our girls were 
officers of Pleiades, and their schoolwork was matched by none. Martha Dodds 
was leader of Junior Terrapin. 

Upon arriving for our last year at University High, we picked Willard Jack- 
son as our leader ; Martha Dodds, chairman in his absence ; William Danielson, 
treasurer ; and Roberta Bloom, secretary. 

Our boys again captured the county championship in basketball, and with 
William Schoonmaker as leader of an all-Senior squad they completed a success- 
ful season. Charlotte Allen, Klaus Baer, Jewel Marco, Willard Jackson, and 
Roberta Bloom were mainstays of the all-school production, "Feathers in a Gale." 
Elizabeth Harding ably managed the annual carnival to a glorious success. On the 
Pleiades Council were Martha Dodds, Harriet Shedd, Roberta Bloom, Charlotte 
Mittendorf, Janet Anderson, Barbara Werstler. Harriet Shedd and Richard 
Thomas represented us on the Student Council, and Harriet Shedd was elected 
president of the organization. Willard Jackson was elected vice-president of the 
Student Council. 

We wish to express our thanks to Miss Changnon, Mrs. Wilson, and Mr. 
Hines, who have so ably guided and advised us. We also would like to thank 
Dr. Sanford, Mr. Howd, Mr. Higgs, Mr. Pogue, and Mr. Allen for supervising 
our activities.

Forty-two Seniors of University High School welcome you to this commence- 
ment program. We are assembled here to participate in certain formalities which 
represent the concluding moments of our high school careers. We have all been 
looking forward to this occasion. 

At University High School, we have had unusual opportunities to learn those 
things which our civilization can teach us. In addition, our teachers have made 
particular efforts to help us understand and work with each other. During this 
time, many of our school experiences seemed only difficult — frustrating. As we 
look back, even those experiences are now part of a happy relationship. This mo- 
ment has significance for us in that many happy associations are being concluded. 

A more important significance lies in the fact that immediately before each of 
us, there are rapidly expanding horizons. However, for each of us, as for each 
of you, life has been, and will continue to be, a succession of expanding horizons. 

During the first few years of our lives, almost all of our experiences were 
within a family group. The horizon extended a little beyond the household. Then 
came a commencement. We started to school. There we found new playmates, 
teachers, the routines, and formalities of school. We made new friends ; some 
enemies. We learned to work and play together. We increased our understanding 
of others in these smaller groups. In junior high school, the horizons again seemed 
suddenly to expand. In high school, increased freedom has been mingled with new 
combinations of duties and responsibilities. 

In dealing with these successive expansions of our horizons, we have had 
help and guidance from our parents, teachers, and friends. We have not always 
been aware of the guidance; and on at least some occasions, we have been un- 
receptive to help. Your participation in our struggles and your assistance in our 
needs have made you a part of us. As we make these new beginnings, you will 
go with us. We are grateful for this comradeship. We welcome you this evening. 

Janet L. Anderson.

Farewell 



How far away seemed the climactic night of Commencement when we, the 
class of '45, wandered through the halls of University High School as Freshmen 
four years ago ! Four years in the future was infinity. Nevertheless, the evening — 
the moment — has arrived. We must say goodbye. 

As a class we are meeting for the last time, and we cannot help but feel a 
certain sadness at the passing of scenes and actions which have comprised our 
high school days. It has been an enjoyable time — this fifth-score of years — and 
we are reluctant to leave it behind. Only the confidence that we shall take with 
us, to keep forever, a part of our University High School lightens our separation. 
Friendships we have made, memories of little things — the ringing of a class bell — 
the favorite seat in the library — familiar things — these will remain. 

However, high school is not the end, but only one section of the path which 
leads to the ultimate goal that each of us has set. Therefore, while the separation 
from our secure and familiar surroundings will be trying, the dominant note of 
this evening is not sorrow at farewell, but rather the eager expectancy of the 
unknown something to come. We are determined, each one of us, to look ever 
forward. 

Many of us will go on to college or university, some will go into the armed 
forces, and others will turn immediately to civilian work. All of us will be glad 
of our high school background and will try to employ it to good advantage in 
the future. 

Before bidding farewell, we wish to take the opportunity to thank our under- 
standing advisers and teachers who imparted to us valuable tools of knowledge 
and comprehension. Their sacrifice and enduring perseverence through our eight 
semesters of consistant distraction we shall remember gratefully. 

The inescapable second is here — goodnight, and goodbye.

Hatchet Oration 



Ladies, Gentlemen, Seniors, Friends, and last and least, Juniors : You have 
assembled tonight to witness the transference of this little implement from the 
custody of the exalted and distinguished Senior Class to the hands of the un- 
worthy Juniors. The Seniors know that this polished object of wood and steel 
is a hatchet, symbol of authority ; to the Juniors it is merely an axe. 

What does this beribboned instrument, steeped in tradition, mean to the 
Seniors? I shall tell you, partly for your information, but mainly for the belated 
education of the Juniors who have existed in ignorance much too long. H stands 
for humility, for the freedom from pride and arrogance with which we, the 
Seniors, have lived and ruled our kingdom, University High School. We have 
brought honor and distinction to its halls. A stands for the outstanding athletic 
ability which has been exhibited by our great class. All of the eleven members of 
this year's illustrious varsity basketball team are Seniors, three of whom were so 
outstanding, that they played on last year's county championship team. T is for 
two, the two years that this prominent class has had possession of this hatchet. In 
the entire history of University High School, we are the only class which has 
had this object for more than one year. C is for the courage which the Class of 1945 
exhibited in procuring this tool just two years ago tonight. // stands for happiness 
— for the happy domain in which we Seniors have lived throughout these last 
four years. Never has there been a moment of sadness or despair in our happy 
group. E stands for the efficiency that has been exhibited on many an occasion. 
During the basketball season, our boys worked as one, and as a result we won the 
county championship. Our Junior prom and our yearbook with its many problems 
of selling advertising, taking pictures, and compiling material, are examples of 
how we all worked together with great results. T stands for tact and toil. We 
labored diligently in the classroom, achieving successes such as no other class 
has ever done or ever shall do. 

Now, we come to the shred of a word, axe. Here, A stands for the absurdity 
with which these adolescent Juniors have tried to undertake impossible tasks, such 
as the lust-Us. X stands for all the missing quantities which the Juniors do not 
possess but envy in others. E stands for total failure and for the extent to which 
the Juniors try to exaggerate their emotions. We Seniors know that E stands for 
the end of the Junior Class when they try, mind you I said "try," to emulate our 
accomplishments. 

Tt is with commiseration, compassion, and condolence for our beloved Senior 
Hatchet, that, as the chosen representatives of the honored and esteemed Class 
of 1945, T now present to you this instrument. Here is your axe, my children. 
Guard it well. May you sometime prove worthy of it and of your predecessors.

Response to the Hatchet Oration 



I receive this hatchet with the greatest of pleasure. I am humble because I 
have the honor of representing the Junior Class on this auspicious occasion, and 
I am full of pride because I realize that this year's Junior Class has come to the 
standards symbolized by the hatchet. I feel it my duty to put this symbol to use in 
explaining the circumstances of this year's Junior and Senior classes. 

As each class enters University High, it might be compared to an insignificant 
ripple on the ocean of life. It is like the slow but sure forming of a wave. As 
Juniors, the class has reached its crest. It recognizes its obligations and sets forth 
to meet them with the vigor of youth. This is a high point in the career of a high 
school class. As a Senior Class the crest is passed, and it believes that it has ful- 
filled it duty to the school ; it can feel proud of its accomplishments and watch 
the lower classmen work. 

The Class of '45 is an especially good example of the preceding statement. 
Two of its most industrious and intelligent members, seeing the error of their 
ways, found it convenient to move out of town. One of these members happened 
to be the illustrious president of the class. Unable to find a replacement for such 
an indispensable personage in its own ranks, the class was forced to fill the void 
with a post-graduate student to lead it to success. But even with the excellent 
leadership of a post-graduate student, the class saw that its only way to avert 
bankruptcy of the U and I was to enlist the aid of the Junior Class president in 
selling advertisements. When the Senior Class received the abbreviated axe last 
year, it apparently believed the latter was an instrument for rug-cutting, because, 
for some unexplainable reason, it managed to expend approximately twenty dol- 
lars more than the amount received. Luckily they, as industrious Juniors, had been 
able to accumulate enough money for their retirement as Seniors. On the other 
hand, this year's Junior Class has been able to set some notable goals for its 
successors. Through energetic projects the class has been able to set a record 
for receipts (and expenditures) of class funds. It set another record for donations 
to worthy causes, and still another for excellent entertainments given to the school. 
In addition, it sponsored the most successful play in the history of University 
High School. The Seniors, nevertheless, unable to trust other organizations had 
to be affirmed and reaffirmed of plans for sponsoring the Junior-Senior prom. 

In conclusion, I wish to say that, although these records will probably never 
be broken, we of the Junior Class hope that our successors will strive continually 
and hopefully to come up to these standards, and that they will be as eligible 
in the receiving" of the hatchet in the following years as we have been eligible 
this year.

Any relevancy which this quotation bears to the Senior Class of 1945 is not 
accidental but altogether probable. Ahem — so you don't believe us? Well, let's 
look into the future to see the Class of '45 in the sixth decade of the 20th century.

Harriet Shedd, red headed manager of the Cleveland Indians, is starring her

Junior Class History 



The Juniors began the school year under the leadership of Bill Graham, 
president. Ann Rovelstad was elected vice-president ; Bob Fessler, treasurer ; and 
Ruth Stouffer, secretary. In the Student Council, the class was represented by 
Ross Bell and Helen Key. 

The traditional Junior activities were efficiently handled. The class sold 
candy after school and other edibles at games. The Just-Us was continued to 
advantage, and all technical aspects of the University High School play were 
administered by the Juniors. During all these activities, the class was guided by 
Mrs. Swindell and Mr. Birdzell. 

A colorful Christmas dance in the Union Building was one of the social 
events sponsored by the Juniors. This established a new precedent for all-school 
parties. Of course, the summit of achievement was the Junior-Senior prom. 

Finding success in every activity they chose to enter, the Class of '46 expect 
to do big things as Seniors!

Junior Class Poem 



We are the Juniors. 

"What have you done," you ask, 

"That you so proudly boast, 'We are the Juniors' ? 

What claim have you to honor?" 

We, proud upholders of our heritage 

As students in this ivy-covered schooi, 

What have we done? 

Hear, then ! 

We have given of our wealth, 

Though it be scanty, 

To the War Fund ; 

We have given a prom, 

A Christmas dance ; 

We have kept Just-Us a paper to be proud of ; 

We have added gaiety and sparkle to all we did. 

WE ARE THE JUNIORS ! 

Now, we are about to take our place as the Senior Class, 
Aware of our experiences, our imperfections. 
Grant us strength and wisdom ; 
We shall continue to uphold our heritage ! 

Barbara Ann Garvey

Sophomore Class Poem 

Last Year, when we were Freshmen, 
Some doubt was held that we 

Would someday blossom forth into 
The Soph'mores you now see. 



But somehow we all made the grade, 
And on the threshold stand 

Of that most honorable realm, 
The upperclassman land. 

We hope that by the grace of heaven 



We'll graduate in '47.

Sophomore Class History 



The Sophomore Class launched upon an exciting school year with William 
Allen, president, to lead us. Assisting him in class duties were Margaret Glenn, 
vice-president ; Joanne Wright, secretary ; Gerry Johnson, treasurer ; and Ellen 
Gernon and Roger Bray, Student Council representatives. Miss Mary Iball and 
Dr. P. L,. Zickgraf were our capable advisers. 

Besides pursuing ardently our studies, we felt the urge for social activities. 
Our first "fling" was a gay Sadie Hawkins dance held on November 18, in the 
music room. This proved to be lots of fun and a welding factor for the members 
of the class. 

The approaching basketball season found Sophomore boys making a name 
for themselves on the reserve team. At the same time Sophomore girls were active 
in Pleiades and were represented on its council by Nancy Gilbert. In intramural 
sports all members of the class participated in badminton, volleyball, basketball, 
or in a variety of other sports. Junior Terrapin, girls' honorary swimming group, 
boasted three members from our class. Patricia Price was manager, while Mar- 
garet Glenn and Ellen Gernon were members. Another interest exhibited by the 
girls was a knitting club, which met in the homes of various members on Monday 
afternoons. This proved most successful during the first semester, and through it 
were strengthened the bond of friendship among the girls. 

The class sponsored two after-game hops, one following the Uni High-Philo 
and the other after the Uni High-Tolono game. Our major social function of 
the year was the colorful May dance, which was an all-school affair. The selec- 
tion of a May queen and her court attendants added a regal touch and sparkle 
to the event. Our class social activities were concluded finally with a gala picnic, 
at which marshmallows and wieners abounded. 

One factor has been obvious this year : that the Sophomores of '45 are united 
in spirit and interests and already have ambition and desire to fulfill their future 
school obligation in true "Junior fashion."

Freshman Class History 

Under the able direction of Mr. Wolfgang Kuhn, Miss Florence Bodenbach. 
and Miss Velma Kitchell, the Freshman Class experienced a successful year at 
University High School. Our activities were under the guidance of President 
Norman Smith and Vice-President Melissa Dobbins. Bob Sonderskov took care 
of our finances, and Cynthia Baldwin recorded all of our transactions in her 
secretary's book. John Harry and Carolyn Clark represented us in Student Council. 

On December 8th, we sponsored a hop after the Homer game. For the carni- 
val, April 14th, the Freshman girls entertained with tumbling acts. 

John Harry, Bud Mittendorf, and Harold Scott played on the reserve 
basketball team. 

B has been a very happy year for us all. We are looking forward to greater 
progress and prosperity in our Sophomore year.

The Good Ship '48 



The sea is rocking mightily. 

The tempest swells like an angry giant. 

Breakers come roaring triumphantly up to the beach, 

Only to crash resoundingly upon the reefs. 

But the good ship '48 is built of the strongest wood, 

Built by the Class of '48 through unceasing hardships and struggles, 

Built by hands that would not cease doing their duty. 

The ship is launched ! 

How proud we are of our unceasing handiwork ! 

And now we board her, very reluctantly, 

For it is the last time that we shall ever see the land of the Freshmen which we 

are leaving. 
The anchor is lifted, the sails are set, and we're off to a new land to conquer. 
The night is stormy. 

The lightning flashes like the fiery tongues of dragons. 

The thunder crashes like a huge boulder being rolled down a rocky mountain side. 
The waves are turbulent and dash madly against the ship, 
As if trying to make the very spikes wear loose. 

But the good ship '48 plows steadily onward through the angry, seething mass. 
At last a thin, green patch breaks up on the horizon, 
And the sun comes up like a trembling organ bursting into music. 
The ship scrapes upon the land, and her crewmen tumble out, eager to feel the 

cool grass and real land under their feet once more. 
The sea is blue and calm ; the sun shines brightly upon it and the green grass of 

the land. 
The good ship '48 and all her crew stand proudly in this haven, 
Having triumphantly achieved their goal.

Sub-Freshman Class History 

The Sub-Freshman Class of 1944-45 had twenty pupils. We elected Larry 
Kettelkamp, president; Brice Harris, vice-president; Thomas Cole, secretary; 
and Mary Ruth Tate, treasurer. 

We gave a masquerade party Saturday, November 4 ; on Friday, December 
15, we invited our mothers to our English class, and Sub-Freshman girls in Miss 
Bodenbach's home economics class gave a tea afterwards. We had a box supper 
Friday, February 16, and gave a party for the incoming Sub-Freshmen on 
Tuesday, May 26.

Sub-Freshman Class Poem 



We, the Sub-Freshmen of Uni High, 

Walk through the halls with our heads in the sky, 

Thinking of hist'ry and math and such, 

And wondering if these things matter so much. 

When we realize that they do — 

Then we can be Freshmen too. 

We have had a happy year 
With our teachers to make clear 
Things we do not understand : 
Boundaries and tracts of land. 

In our little roomy den (109 to you) 
We the Subs, the double ten, 
Worked the whole year through. 
But we still had time to play, 
Sometimes during every day. 

We, the Sub-Freshmen of Uni High, 
Will be Seniors by and by. 
If, for that, we can prepare, 
So our Senior year will fare, 
As our first, Sub-Freshman year, 
Then we need not have a fear.

Student Council 



This year, more than ever before, the Student Council has proved its worth 
as the student government of University High School. A new simplified consti- 
tution was ratified, important changes were made in the organization, money- 
making projects were evaluated, elections were conducted, the social calendar 
was set up, dances were financed, Red Cross drives were conducted, and general 
service was rendered to the school. All problems of an all-school nature were 
considered, and attempts were made to find solutions for them. The Student 
Council kept in contact with local councils and took an active part in the District 
Convention. 

The Student Council was capably led by Harriet Shedd, president ; Willard 
Jackson, vice-president ; Ann Rovelstad, secretary ; and Roger Bray, treasurer. 
Mr. Engle was the faculty adviser.

One of the students' best friends around Uni High 
is the cheerful gent who wields the brooms and mops 
in our halls and classrooms. Known to us only as 
"Eddie", he always has a smile and a greeting for 
each and every one. It is Eddie who has let the for- 
getful basketball boy into school after five o'clock, 
so that he might get his books and coat from his locker. 
And Eddie was the person responsible for the success- 
ful fulfilment of the Pleiades initiation as originally 
planned. To one who has been helpful whenever pos- 
sible, and friendly at all times, we say, "Thanks, Eddie, 
thanks a lot for all you have done for us."

Orchestra 



The orchestra has shown marked improvement this 
year — the result of steadfast, hard work. The members 
have been willing to practice faithfully at home and 
then apply themselves diligently to the two full or- 
chestra rehearsals during the week. 

At several assemblies and special programs this year, 
the orchestra has provided good entertainment for the 
students, parents, and teachers of University High 
School. 

The orchestra is appreciative of Mr. Wolfgang 
Kuhn's patient direction this year, and is looking for- 
ward to next year with the anticipation of an even 
more successful season.

The Just-Us staff has worked steadfastly while writing about events and 
happenings of Uni High — publishing the news. With the help of Miss Baum and 
Miss Stupka, the Juniors have learned how a newspaper is put together and 
edited into final form. This task should furnish much valuable experience to fu- 
ture members of the U and I staff.

The Park Bench 

Five board feet of lumber and twenty pounds of iron — that to 
the casual observer, is the sum and substance of a park bench. More 
than that, however, is one of these outdoor sofas ; it is a thing of 
character and an object of many uses. 

Scrutinize it closely! See that scratch on the left front leg? 
That was acquired on the afternoon of a school picnic. The leg of 
an inverted park bench makes an extremely efficient coke-bottle 
opener. 

Now look at those initials, carved during the course of a soft 
moonlit evening. This bench is a keeper of secrets. 

And did you ever think of a park bench as an anchor to hold 
fast the end of a dog leash? What better way to take care of a 
pooch while its mistress is talking to her policeman? 

A park bench can be a booby trap, too ; seat slats — wet paint — 
disaster ! Invariably the paint is green and does not match the 
victim's apparel. 

To a tramp, the park bench is home for a night ; to a prankster, 
there is nothing better for draping over statues. Oh, yes, a park 
bench may also be used by a person who wishes just to sit.

Nothing 



Nothing is very interesting. It is the ingredient of the hole in the doughnut. 
The world was made of nothing, and there was quite a bit of nothing left over 
so that is why there is so much nothing in the world today. Nothing makes up 
the middle of a post-hole. A vacuum is just crammed full of nothing. Nothing 
is what a mischievous boy says he is doing when his mother questions him. Noth- 
ing is what I like to do most of the time, and that is what my father says I 
shall amount to. Dehydrated water has a lot of nothing in it. This is what I 
usually find when I come home late for supper. The little man that wasn't there 
and Harvey, the six-foot rabbit, ride around on miniature nothings. Frameless 
glasses without lenses consist entirely of genuine nothing. This, also, is what 
students usually do in study hall. Nothing is signified by putting it inside a circle 
called a zero. One of the most popular methods of expressng nothing is the use 
of the letters 'e", "t", and "c" in that order followed by a period. So you see 
nothing is really many things.

This Is America 

There will be a hush that deepens with the night 
as the noisy tremors of a world at war subside. Again 
peace and security will reign, and mankind will once 
more live with dignity and pride in the clean, clear 
atmosphere of triumph over tyranny. As this year 
proceeds, hope is justifiably strong in the heart of 
every American. This hope is that a great new epoch 
in the affairs of men and nations may not be too far 
away — that out of the cruelty of this war will flow a 
worthy and lasting peace. Yes, this Amerca, now and 
forever.

All My Life 



We were leaving this place so dear to us. I had 
spent all my life here. The places we used to go and 
the things we used to do — that was all over now, we 
were going to some land unknown by me and my 
fellow friends, — Some of them came back, others — 
others we shall never forget ; we shall always look 
back to those men who gave their lives so that our 
children might live in peace and love their neighbors. 
We owe much to these men, their brave hearts and 
souls.

He Who Walks On Padded Paws 

Cat walks on little padded paws, 
His charging eyes alert ; 
The mouse lies dead upon the floor, 
Her little form inert. 

Short hours ago she was alive 

And scurrying about, 

But in this house so new to her 

And hiding in the dark, 

Was he, the cat, 

His claws unsheathed, his golden fur 

Upright upon his back. 

He bides his time, then shifts his weight ; 
Closer and closer she comes ; 
He springs ! He strikes ! With flying gait 
He charges down the hall ! 

He sniffs her little quivering form ; 
It is as though the fiery storm 
Has left him ! but a lovely cat, 
A gorgeous Persian without flaws, 
He who walks on padded paws, 
He who killed within the hall, 
Beloved by his mistress, 
Praised by all. 

Even though he breaks the laws, 
He who walks on padded paws 
Will be loved and will be praised, 
For his cruel and stealthy ways.

Tragedy 



The jungle steamed silently under the molten rays of the blood- 
red Brazilian sun. Scores of azure-hued insects flitted incessantly 
about the small clearing. Now and then a raucous call of a strange 
bird floated down from the top of the tall cliff which overlooked 
the tiny break in the vast jungle. Suddenly, the bushes on one side 
of the clearing parted, and an unkempt, haggard-looking white man, 
staggered under the weight of a large pack, made his way into the 
clearing. With a sigh of satisfaction, he dropped his unwieldy bur- 
den to the ground and proceeded to examine an ancient parchment 
which he took from inside his shirt. Apparently satisfied by his ex- 
amination, he walked slowly toward the base of the towering cliff 
and began to thrash around in the dense undergrowth. Abruptly, a 
shout of joy broke from his lips as he found that which he sought — 
a small, dark opening in the side of the hill. Eagerly, he plunged 
both arms deep into the yawning cavity and withdrew them spilling- 
over with ancient gold coins. Laughing hysterically, he reached 
greedily for more of the golden treasure. Suddenly, he gave a 
violent start, and an expression of amazement akin to terror flashed 
upon his swarthy face. Slowdy he lurched to his feet and stared 
dumbly at the trickle of blood which dripped slowly from the closely- 
set punctures on his rapidly swelling and blackening arm. As though 
unable to comprehend what had happened, he stood gazing vacantly 
at the ground as the deadly Bushmaster glided into the tangled vege- 
tation, and then, with a convulsive shudder, he fell face-downward 
upon the glittering heap of precious metal. The many-colored insects 
had vanished, and overhead, a vulture circled lazily in the sky.

Despair 



I don't want to live a life — now, 
All it holds is solitude and strife — now. 
I don't need a word by which to learn 
That I'm alone, no place to turn, 
For my heart's already told me so. 
You don't see how, but I really know. 
There's nothing now for which to look ahead 
For I know now — I know that he is dead.

Shorty 

"Shorty," the lankiest gangling guy this side of the Rockies, spat dejectedly 
and stalked out the adobe door in the direction of the corral. The morning sun 
was just coming over the mountains, and its first rays played on his deeplv ridged 
face and made his firmly set jaw seem even sharper. He looked around pene- 
tratingly with his steel-blue eyes until be caught sight of his horse. It was a 
paint, full of the same apparent untiringness as that of his master. The cool 
morning breeze scattered "Shorty's" sunburned, ironish-colored hair as he opened 
the corral gate and unhitched his lariat from his saddle. With the ease that comes 
from continual usage, he roped and saddled his horse. He swung himself lazily 
into the saddle and rode silently off towards the distant blue haze of the Rockies.

Individualism 

America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path 
of progress. A citizen of the United States is not thought of as just a cog in 
the vast wheel of progress, but as an individual with his own thoughts, tastes, and 
reactions. Each individual may express himself by freedom of worship, freedom 
of speech, and freedom of the press. By using these rights, each American citizen 
continues his progress, proves the ideal of individualism.

Light 



Who knows what comes with the Dawn, 
Or what she has to sell? 
Who knows sweet music of her song?

He alone can have the key. 
Who knows ?

Will The Darkness Never Cease? 

Will this darkness never cease? 
Black, forbidding, damp, and dreary, 
On and on yet never stopping — 
Will there never be a peace? 

Is there naught but wind and rain ? 
Winter's whip, a slashing fury, 
Whipping, stripping, always striking — 
Will it e'er be calm again? 

Yes, soon will break the glorious light. 
Shining clearly, beckoning ever 
All the sad, the weak, the weary. 
Yes, spring is here — cast out the night !

All-School Play 

With "frills and feathers" the University High School production of 
"Feathers in a Gale," by Pauline Jamerson and Reginald Lawrence, was pre- 
sented under the direction of Miss Baum, April 7, in Gregory Hall, before an 
amused and responsive audience. The play of 1804 vintage centers around three 
widows who are to be sold at public auction unless one or all of them find a 
husband. Matilda and Phoebe are living off the bounty of Annabelle. Mr. 
Thatcher, the parson, is about to propose to Annabelle when a roving sea cap- 
tain, Seth Barnabas, puts into port. The complications that follow make this one 
of the cleverest plays ever given by University High School students. 
The cast was as follows : 

Matilda Phinney Charlotte Allen 

Phoebe Fuller Jewel Marco 

Jeb Hibbitt. Klaus Baer 

Lucy Abner Helen Key 

Annabelle Hallock Ann Rovelstad

The Dramatics Club of Uni High meets every 
Wednesday at 3 :20 in room 205 under the direction 
of Miss Margarete Baum. The president is Jewel 
Marco, and the secretary is Mary Ruth Tate. 

We have worked on pantomime, on short impromptu 
plays, and on facial expression. One of our exercises 
is called the "mirror." Two people face each other. 
One changes his expression, and the other follows as 
if he were a mirror. This is fun. 

We welcome all new members.

Activities 



Cowboy dancing was the most energetic activity. The thirty- four participants 
met in the gym, where they danced to the calls of Miss Turnell. A few of the 
advanced dancers also tried their hand at callings. Cowboy dancing did not con- 
tinue the second semester. 

The war discussion group was one of the busiest activities. This club saw 
movies, had several discussions led by student chairmen, and heard several speak- 
ers. Their outstanding guest speakers were Mr. Wang, who told them about the 
political troubles of China; and Mr. Meteyka, who talked to the club about the 
governments of Germany and Japan. 

The ping pong activity expanded to include several other games. Badminton 
seemed to be the most popular game. Tournaments among the members encour- 
aged each to do his best. The wide variety of recreational events made this 
activity popular with those who like active sports. 

The aeronautics club worked navigation problems, studied aerodynamics, 
made airplane models, and saw many films and film strips. The group was com- 
posed of underclassmen who were interested in aeronautics, but whose schedules 
did not permit them to be in the regular aeronautics class. 

The members of the science club engaged in individual experiments in the 
various fields of science. It was not unusual to find one person working with 
explosives, another working wth electricity, and still another doing a biology 
experiment. 

The chess club had fewer members this year, but they had the same enthusi- 
asm as former members have had. No regular tournament was held, although 
there was competition among the participants. When an evenly matched game 
was being played, this was the quietest group. 

The art group was able to try many types of artistic creation. Block printing, 
leather tooling, modeling, and all types of painting, were available to any student 
who joined this activity.

Players 



Captain Bill Schoonmaker, a returned letterman, led the team through a very successful 
season and was an excellent leader as well as a fine player. Always at his best when the 
going was toughest, Bill's height, drive, and scoring ability made him one of the outstanding 
centers in the state. "Stoop's" place will be difficult to fill, and he will always be remem- 
bered as one of Uni High's most capable players. 

Bill Jackson was the other returned letterman from 1944's Championship team. Bill's 
previous experience and his defensive ability made him one of our most dependable regulars 
throughout the season. 

Tom Benner, well-known for his spectacular corner shots, reached his peak during 
the latter half of the season. His cooperative spirit, as well as his potent scoring, made Tom 
a good teammate. 

Doug Weitzel's height and rebounding ability made him a valuable asset to the team 
at all times. Doug improved rapidly all year, and he contributed much to a successful season. 

Sanford Johnston, although not a high scorer, could always be counted on to come 
through in a pinch with one of his famous long shots. Sam stood out in defense and set up 
many scoring opportunities for his teammates. 

Ed Deam, the Captain-elect, was a consistent performer from his forward spot, and 
he has a deadly one-hand shot from the free throw area. Dots of luck to you, "Greek," and 
we're counting on you to help bring about our third ANNUAL, victory assembly next year. 

Peter Moyer made up what he lacked in height by his scrappiness and never-give-up 
attitude. His one-hand shot was well-developed, and when "hot," Pete "swished 'em" from all 
angles. 

Tony Fay's fine shooting eye and highly developed sense of humor made him a 
valuable squad member. Tony performed well all season and was especially outstanding in 
the Mahomet game. 

Marian Johnson, playing his first year on the Varsity Squad, was a capable per- 
former from his guard position. A senior this year, Harlan's fighting spirit and aggressive 
play will be missed next year. 

Jim Card and Wes Schulthcs, reserve centers, had perhaps the toughest assignments 
of any two centers in the County — guarding Bill Schoonmaker every night in practice, Jim 
improved greatly this year and developed a good shot with either hand. Wes was always 
ready to praise a good play; his good nature won for him the esteem of his teammates, 



Page Fifty-four 



The Season 



The 1944-45 edition of the County Champs started the season off with a bang by 
defeating a small but scrappy Ogden squad, 59-26. Bill Schoonmaker led the way with 21 
points, followed by Ed Deam and Bill Jackson with 10 points each, while the team as a 
whole shot a snappy .500 per cent. 

Captain Bill and Doug Weitzel sparked the team to its second victory over Bellflower, 
45-19, with 14 and 8 points, respectively. 

Uni High encountered its first real competition of the season in a strong Rantoul 
team, and bowed 28-26. The only bright light in an otherwise dismal picture was "Stoop's" 
16 points. 

After defeating Buckley, 28-17, in a slow game, the Stoughton Street cagers suffered 
their second loss of the year at the hands of Catlin, to the tune of 27-22. 

Rounding into mid-season form, Uni High defeated Fisher, 50-39 ; Philo, 34-26, and 
Homer, 41-32, in three well-played games. Captain Schoonmaker led with 21 points against 
Fisher and 12 against Homer, while Bill Jackson was high with 13 against Philo. They 
were ably assisted by Ed Deam's 10 points in the Homer game, and Pete Moyer's 9 against 
Philo. 

A rugged Danville quintet handed the team its third loss at Danville, 55-35. Bill 
Schoonmaker was high scorer for the game, with 20 points, but his teammates could not 
equal the more balanced Danville attack. 

Journeying to Sidney, the Orange and Blue cagers romped over the home team, 52-35, 
in a last warm-up before the Mount Vernon Holiday Tournament. 

Flash ! Ice storm hits Mount Vernon, as Salem defeats Uni High, 52-46, despite the 
de-icing effect of Bill Schoonmaker's 27 points. 

After defeating Tolono, 41-31 on Friday, Coach Birdzell's charges traveled to Long- 
view on Saturday. After a slow first half, the team started rolling, and came out on the long 
end of a 47-34 score. Tom Benner was particularly outstanding in this game, and his 15 
points were essential to the victory. 

A weak Onarga Military team was easily defeated, 56-24, in the last game before the 
County Tournament. Mr. Schulthes' jokes were the highlight of this trip. 

Having beaten Monticello, 48-26, the team encountered Sadorus, and suffered a 44-34 
defeat. The small gym, the hot shooting of an inspired Sadorus team, and the lack of fight 
shown by the boys all contributed to the loss. 

In a preview of the Regional Tournament, Uni High defeated a fighting St. Joseph 
team, 38-25. 

The County Champs next engaged Villa Grove, the Okaw Valley Champs, in an 
infantile paralysis benefit game. Although losing, 48-43, the team played well and, given a 
few breaks, might easily have won. 

Following a 51-31 victory over a small Onarga quintet, the unsung heroes got their 
big chance. The varsity reserves played all- but 4 minutes against Mahomet, and kept the 
game well under control. Tony Fay's 11 points led the team to a 40-30 victory. 

In the last scheduled game before the tournament play, Uni High outlasted Hoopeston, 
52-49, in a nip-and-tuck contest. Captain Bill hit his all-time high in this game with 32 points. 

After trouncing St. Joseph, 41-21, in the opening game of the Champaign Regional 
Tournament, University High bowed to an aggressive Champaign High team which even- 
tually placed second in the State Tournament. The score, 64-32, does not necessarily indicate 
the comparative caliber of the two teams, as our boys played poorly in places, and Champaign 
was "hot." The boys hated to close the basketball season by losing in this fashion, but no 
hard feelings were created. 

The team has greatly appreciated the support given by parents, teachers, and class- 
mates this year. We feel that many of our victories were partially due to the loyal fans who 
cheered us on. Thanks a million ! 

Joe Ambrose, although unable to complete the season, was a valuable team member 
and a dependable player. Joe's determination and alert brand of ball more than made up for 
his lack of height, and many times he came through with points when they were needed. 

Coach Robert Allen's Reserve squad had a fairly successful season, winning 8 games 
while losing 9. These boys will all be back next year and, with the one returning letterman, 
will form next year's team. The reserve squad was composed of the following boys : Bill 
Allen, Ted Anderson, Jim Casteel, John Harry, Gerry Johnson, Bud Mittendorf, Tom Moore. 
Donald Moyer, Hale Newcomer, Dick Noel, Harold Scott, and Fred Will. 

Tikey Lessaris and Al Eibman handled the managers' duties this year and did a swell 
job. Tike's good humor and friendly attitude will be missed, but Al will be back next year 
to keep the players amused with his unlimited supply of jokes. 

The cheerleading situation should be well taken care of next year, as Cheerleaders 
Ruth Stouffer, Martha Deam, Audrey Greenman, Joanne Wright, Melissa Dobbins, Marilyn 
Daniels, and Hale Newcomer will be back. They did an excellent job, and the team appre- 
ciated their efforts.

Champaign County Tournament 

In the second game of the 1945 County Tournament, Uni High defeated Ogden, 
44-32. Although the Ogden team threw a scare into our boys by jumping to a 4-0 lead, little 
trouble was encountered during the balance- of the game. 

It was a different story, however, against Homer. Playing against an inspired team, 
the Orange and Blue were hard put to eke out a 28-27 victory. Homer played a very tight 
zone in order to hold down Bill Schoonmaker; nevertheless, the big center scored 18 points. 

In the semi-final round, the team repeated an earlier victory over Longview, 32-25. 
After trailing by five points at the quarter, the boys built up a two-point half-time lead, thanks 
to several corner shots by Tom Benner and some good work by Sam Johnson. The two 
teams played on even terms for the next eight minutes, but a last quarter rally decided the 
game in our favor. 

Duplicating the 1944 tournament, University High engaged Rantoul in the cham- 
pionship game, and to the surprise of some 44 of 57 entrants in the guessing contest who 
reached the finals, our team was victorious, 32-30. Captain Bill Schoonmaker put in the 
winning basket (his seventh of the game) with 30 seconds to play, after Doug Weitzel's 
rebound had brought about a 30-30 tie. Important factors in the victory were Bill's 18 
points, his and Doug's aggressive rebounding, Tom Benner's and Ed Deam's alert brand of 
ball, and the defensive work of Guards Sam Johnston and Bill Jackson. 

The road to a second county championship contained many more obstacles than did 
the road which led to Uni High's first championship. This year, it was an uphill fight, and 
the team went into the final game as the underdog. In the words of Coach Birdzell, "The 
boys had a goal ; hard work and unswerving purpose enabled them to attain it."

Track— 1944 



The 1944 track squad had one of the most successful seasons 
in recent years, losing only two scheduled meets while winning five. 
Triumphs were registered over Tolono and Sidney, 104-30-8 ; Aller- 
ton, 711-41 ; Sadorus and St. Joe, 65-42-35 ; Mahomet and Homer, 
100-22-11; and Danville, 67-45. 

Perhaps the highlight of the year was the County Track Meet, 
in which University High School placed second to Rantoul, 47-44. 
This represented quite an improvement over the dual meet between 
the two schools which Rantoul won, 86-31. Uni High's individual 
champions in the county were Captain Phil Hartman, 880 ; Morris 
Butsch, shot put and pole vault ; Dean Collins, high hurdles ; and 
Dave Fulrath, high jump. Other points were scored by Bud Little, 
second in the mile ; Paul Hartman, second in the 440 and third in 
the 100; Tony Fay, third in the pole vault; Stewie Daniels, fourth 
in the 880 ; Jan Roosa, second in the high hurdles, third in the low 
hurdles, and tied for third in the high jump; the varsity relay team, 
which placed third ; and the Freshman-Sophomore relay team, which 
placed fourth. 

The squad looked good in many relay meets, winning the class 
B division of the Mattoon Relays and placing first in the sprint 
medley at the Paris Relays. 

All but six letter-winners graduated ; consequently, this year's 
squad will be composed mainly of underclassmen. However, with a 
few breaks, this inexperienced team may turn in some outstanding 
performances in the coming season.

Softball 



The 1944-45 softball team experienced the worst season in 
recent years, winning only one game while losing seven. Two of 
these losses were by one run, while many of the others could be 
attributed to inexperience and to injuries suffered by key men. 
Many underclassmen gained valuable experience this year, and they 
should form the nucleus for better teams in coming years. Boys who 
participated are as follows : Joe Ambrose, Tom Benner, Jim Card, 
Tony Fay, Bill Jackson, Harlan Johnson, Sanford Johnston, Peter 
Moyer, and Doug Weitzel, Seniors ; Bill Allen, Jim Casteel, Ed 
Deam, John Harry, Gerry Johnson, John Karraker, Bud Mittendorf, 
and Donald Moyer, underclassmen.

Boys' Intramurals 



A wide and varied intramural sports program has been instituted at Uni 
High the past year under the direction of Robert M. Allen, assistant coach. The 
purpose of this program has been to give all the boys in school an opportunity to 
engage in competitive sports. In this manner, boys who lacked the skill and experi- 
ence necessary to make the varsity squad in an interscholastic sport this year 
have gained valuable knowledge which will help them next year when they are 
playing on varsity teams. 

Six teams competed in a round-robin touch football tournament this fall, each 
team meeting every other team at least once. The Buzzards, captained by Pete 
Moyer and Joe Ambrose, emerged as the victors with five wins against one loss. 

Two intramural basketball tournaments were conducted this winter, games 
being played every Tuesday and Thursday. The Indians, captained by Alex 
Katsinas, were declared the winners in the first ; while Buck Amsbary's Navy 
team won the second. 

Participation in the spring wrestling tournament was, for the first time, com- 
pulsory for all boys taking Physical Education. Individual champions, and their 
weight divisions are as follows: Joe Ambrose, 120-130; George Lambrakis, 130- 
140; Tony Fay, 140-150; Harlan Johnson, 150-160; and Jim Casteel, heavyweight. 

Despite the Sophomores' power in the dashes and weight events, the Seniors 
won the interclass track meet by a large margin. Thirty boys from all classes 
participated. 

This completed perhaps the best year of Intramural sports that University 
High School has ever known. In future years, the program started this year will 
pay dividends if all boys who compete for Uni High against other schools have 
had the experience gained through several years of intramural competition.

Girls' Intramurals 



Starting off the year with a bang, the Juniors, with Hortense 
Brigham as their captain, took the honors in the soccer tournament 
by defeating every team they played. The Seniors held a close second 
place with Roberta Bloom, captain. Barbara Jean Moore and Mar- 
jorie Hudson were the managers. 

Elinor Case won the tennis tournament in the spring. 

Again, in the volleyball tournament, the Juniors, this time led by 
Mary Lou Warmouth, placed first by beating the Sophomores and 
Freshmen, and tying the Seniors. Defeated only by the Juniors, the 
Freshmen, under the leadership of Martha Paton, came in second. 
Nice going, Freshmen ! Elizabeth Harding and Mary Lou War- 
mouth managed the volleyball tournament. 

Martha Dodds and Dorothy Adams, managers, ran off the bas- 
ketball games in two separate tournaments. Beaten in volleyball and 
soccer, the defiant Seniors won both tournaments, though they had 
to break the fighting spirit of the Juniors. The Seniors won every 
game they played. 

Hortense Brigham and Martha Deam in charge of badminton, 
Barbara Ann Garvey and Ann Kamerer of pingpong, and Barbara 
Werstler and Charlotte Mittendorf of Softball brought their re- 
spective tournaments to successful closes. 

By putting these sports in their programs and by entering them 
with enthusiasm, the girls have proved that sports play a major 
portion in their activities.

Whites 



Motto: "Fight to the end, whether lose or win." 

When the girls drawing white hair ribbons joined the White 
Team, they elected Frances Brigham and Hortense Brigham as their 
leaders. Half the Whites tried out for the White all-stars soccer 
team. If the Blues were favored to win, the Whites displaced any 
such idea with a swift corner in the last quarter — the only score 
made in the game. Girls of the team then honored the Blues by 
entertaining them in the gym and treats for all at the Union Build- 
ing. The Whites also won the volleyball game in an exciting rally 
in the last few minutes of play. 

Then came the thrilling all-star basketball game. The White 
Team, though they fought hard to the end, didn't have quite enough 
defense to stop the determined Blues. 

The Whites are anxious to regain their prestige by winning the 
softball game.

Blues 



Motto: "To win without boasting and to lose without excusing." 

Early in the fall the Blue Team, composed of half the number 
of girls in school, organized and elected Barbara Dobbins, captain 
and Elinor Case, co-captain. The captains did well in arousing 
interest for their first battle with the Whites. Although the Blues 
were defeated by one goal, they played a good game and won the 
respect of their opponents. 

Barbara Dobbins created the team mascot, Bluzo, to bring luck 
for the next game. Bluzo's charms were effective, for Elinor Case 
won the tennis title later in the fall. 

Enthusiasm was high for the volleyball championship. Although 
the Blues were behind in the first half, the team made a forceful 
rally and were only a few points behind at the end of the game. 

In the battle for basketball championship, Elinor Case, with a 
scoring streak of 11 points, led the Blues to an 18-6 victory. Just 
before the game, the Blues presented the Whites with a huge bone 
as a keepsake. 

Now the Blues are preparing to give the Whites some tough 
competition in Softball.

Cheerleaders 



Though this has been their first year in cheerleading, these 
three have done a splendid job pepping up our student body before 
games and leading our public praise of Jugbut at the games. In 
addition to this, they have planned at least two pep assemblies. 
These three are not all we have as cheerleaders — Melissa Dobbins, 
Joanne Wright, Marilyn Daniels, and Audrey Greenman, as Junior 
cheerleaders, have gotten into fine form for next year by leading 
cheers at the reserve games. They also helped in the many pep 
assemblies.

Pleiades Council 



The council, representing the seven branches of Pleiades, and the administra- 
tive officers, decide upon and administer all affairs of the group, though its actions 
are subject to the approval of the girls. Pleiades' many accomplishments through 
the year prove the value of such an organization at University High School. The 
officers of the organization are: president, Martha Dodds ; vice-president, Roberta 
Bloom ; secretary, Shirley Collins, and treasurer, Hortense Brigham. 



Social Committee 



In case you've wondered who makes out the social calendar for Pleiades, it's 
the girls on this committee under the leadership of Barbara Werstler. This year, 
Pleiades has sponsored several parties, including the apple-polishing party for the 
faculty, a picnic, the star dance, and the annual spring carnival.

in Pleiades. It performs such duties as polishing the trophies in the library, con- 
ducting a big sister picnic in the fall, sending our Christmas news letter to all 
Uni High alumni in service, and publicizing all Pleiades events. 



Intramural Board 



Harriet Shedd and the other girls on this board work hard making rules for 
girls' intramural tournaments and adding points for G.A.A. awards. These and 
the other activities of the intramural board deserve very special credit.

Junior Orchesis 



Under the able leadership of Charlotte Mittendorf, the members 
of Junior Orchesis have worked hard and accomplished much this 
year. As well as developing grace in the girls' movements, the loco- 
motion movements give the girls a remarkable sense of rhythm. In 
the annual Parent-Teachers' Association Christmas program, Junior 
Orchesis executed several group and solo dance numbers. Junior 
Orchesis also gave an excellent demonstration at the spring carnival.

Junior Terrapin 



"One, two, three; one, two, three; in, two, three." If you heard 
this on a Saturday morning about nine o'clock, you could be almost 
sure it was Junior Terrapin practicing for the P.T.A. program on 
April 25th or the assembly on April 27th. 

In the fall, Terrapin elected Ruth Stouffer, president, and Pa- 
tricia Price, manager. Throughout the year tryouts for admission 
were held. 

In the competitive swimming meet on March 10th, many mem- 
bers won first, second, or third place in some event. 

Miss Amy Turnell, girls' physical education teacher, and Miss 
Phyllis Cunningham, a practice teacher in physical education, helped 
the girls make Terrapin the success it has been this past season.

we all went home happily, not to re-

girls did return and went caroling. 
After the caroling they returned to

Jan. 4 — I almost froze to death today. 
I wore my overcoat and earmuffs to

because of the cold. The chemistry 
students reported the temperature of 
their room to be 24° F. The Physical 
Plant must be snowed in. 



Jan. 5 — The Seniors were told how to 
sell advertising today — I never was

Uni High beat Tolono 40-31. Their

Uni High won their first game — 44-32

Jan. 18 — I don't know how, but I got to 
Dongview. "Wot a game !" We finally 
won by one point. The score, for those 
whom it may concern, was 28-27. 

Jan. 19 — Very little was accomplished 
today in the way of school work. Uni 
High is now in the semi-finals. The 
Senior girls appeared in overalls and 
long shirts, and I do mean long. At 
noon the students couldn't stand it any 
longer, and the school shook under the 
stamping and yelling of a snake dance 
which ended up at the gym. Our ef- 
forts were not in vain, and we won 
again 32-25. Tom Benner really showed 
us how he can play — 'Wot a guy!" 

Jan. 20 — Wot a day ! Wot a tournament ! 
Wot a game ! I felt as though I would 
be out on the playing floor myself. 
My seat (if that's what you could call 
it) was smack dab on the floor. The 
water boy jumped over me each time 
the whistle blew for the time out pe- 
riods. In the last second we won — 
yes, we won the County. The floor was 
"swamped" with Uni High rooters. 
Congratulations, Team ! 



Jan. 22 — Don't be alarmed — It's only the 
orchestral. Today we had an assembly 
for the Champions. The trophy is a 
beauty, and folks — there's really noth- 
ing the matter with Tony. After school 
the gals "polished the apple" by giving 
the teachers a party. Did you know 
that Mr. Pogue has longer feet than 
Mr. Engle?

Feb. 2 — According to Dr. Hartley we

Feb. 6 — Today, while watching the girls

Feb. 19 — Bring all your games, cards, 
ash trays — Red Cross Drive. 

Feb. 20 — Something's cooking, and it 
isn't Miss Bodenbach's cooking class. 



Feb. 21 — Now I know — Pleiades is get- 
ting ready for its yearly Star Dance. 

Feb. 22 — Badminton tournament starts. 
What racket you have, Hortense ! 



March 6 — Dr. Hartley's prediction comes 
through with rain, sleet, and snow. 

March 7 — The Eatin III and IV classes 
have taken up debating on current 
school problems. I hope their improve- 
ments will soon perfect the school. 

March 8 — During physics class today, 
Dr. Harnish, pointing to a red book, 
said to Bucky, "Are you sure you get 
the same sensation while looking at 
this book that I do?" Buck replies, 
"Well, if I don't, there's something the 
matter with one of us." — You are sup- 
posed to laugh now — please. 



Feb. 23— Uni High beats Hoopeston 52 
to 49 in a thrilling game. 



Feb. 24 — Pleiades gives the basketball 
team a dance. Never have you seen 
such decorations — wow ! Thanks to 
Dr. Hartley for directing the erection 
of them. 

Feb. 27 — Uni High really sparkled tonite 
while defeating St. Joe 46-22 in our 
first game (if the Regional. 



March 13 — Ed Deam collected two bits 
today from Harriet for calling Mr. 
Engle, Shirley, his first name. Didn't 
think he would do it, did you Harriet? 

March 15 — Miss Kramer jumped out 
from her desk in panic today when she 
heard a crash and saw a football come 
sailing through the window. The Phys- 
ical Plant was called immediately and 
everything was all fixed up in a jiffy.

Calendar 



March 18 — Today Joe and Sam were 
conversing. Joe says, "I love the beau- 
ties of the countryside," and Sam says, 
"Yes, and sometimes I even give them 
a lift." 



April 4 — The newly-painted rooms have 
affected many students as well as 
teachers — some cry, some sneeze, some 
turn pale — Jean thinks she's going to 
faint. 



March 23 — Tonight the Athletic Banquet 
was held — Ice cream, cake, speakers, 
boys all dressed up, etc. It seems all 
the speakers could talk about was 
Champaign High, but the banquet was 
a swell one. Ed is our Captain for next 
year. You have the right spirit, Eddie ! 



March 24 — Flash ! Tony, 'Bam, Tom, 
and Joe sold $98 of advertising today 
— Wow ! Fun ! Isn't it ? 

March 27 — The Physical Plant are real- 
ly exerting themselves. Will Mrs. 
Swindell's room be lavender? Miss 
Barbara Werstler and Miss Charlotte 
Mittendorf had dinner, and I do mean 
dinner for two of their friends today. 
Then — the guests had to help wash 
dishes. I've never heard of such a 
thing. 

March 29 — Here's hoping the Calendar 
gets in the yearbook, the dead line is 
real soon — too soon. 



April 6 — Two boys searching for a thrill, 
really had one today, running smack 
into an automobile on a bike. They 
survived with a few bruises, scratches, 
and stitches. Urbana Relays ! Uni 
High's Tony Fay won second in the 
pole vault. I don't see why he must 
land on his head. 



April 7 — Many of the Senior girls were 
rushing this afternoon. "Slush" is de- 
licious, isn't it? A few more studious 
members took College Boards. Peter 
could take them here but hopped off 
to Chicago. I wonder if that was the 
only reason ! Uni High presents 
"Feathers in the Gale," starring Ann 
Rovelstad and Bill Jackson. It was 
really a fine production and had a 
professional touch. After the play 
Charlotte Allen was so sorry it was 
over, tears appeared — I guess Ann was 
even more sorry. Miss Baum looked 
relieved and just stood beaming at 
everyone. 



April 

April 1 — Easter Sunday, and everyone 
appeared at Church in "full bloom" in 
spite of the rain. 



April 9 — The carnival is really getting 
into full swing. The third period 
classes are having a swell time with 
their sideshows. I certainly wish Math 
came third period.

Calendar 



April 10- -Today Eddie Jacquin, Editor 
of the News-Gazette, interviewed Har- 
riet Shedd, much to the amusement of 



the Senior English class. 



April 11 — Barb wrote to Foxy Fixit's 
question box of the local paper : "Dear 
Foxy, My boy friend wrote that he 
dreamed of me night and day, but I 
don't think I can trust him too far. 
Mystefied, Barb." She was shocked 
today when the answer come: "Dear 
Dobbo, you merry mystifier, I wouldn't 
trust him too near if I were you. Yours 
Slyly, Foxy." 



April 13 — The Carnival is under full 
swing, and here's hoping for the best 
ever. 



April 1-4 — After a hard day's work, the 
Carnival is ready to go — and what a 
carnival — The best we've ever had. I'm 
still laughing from the main show. 
Bill Redhead is just plain lucky. I 
saw him walk away with three cakes, 
and I tried all night in vain — Even 
teachers can be human once in a while. 



April 18 — The Seniors showed us today 
what an assembly is really like — they 
have real talent. They took me, or all 
of us in fact, for a ride. 



April 25 — Terrapin gave their yearly 
program today. It was a real affair — 
Heard some of the weaker sex (boys) 
remark, "Not bad, not bad at all — 
Hmmmm?" 



April 27 — Jean Hannagan's theme song 
is, "The Boy Next Door." 



May 



May A — The girls gave a tea today in 
honor of their mothers. Orchesis pro- 
vided entertainment. I think the mamas 
really enjoyed themselves. 

May 5 — The Sophomores showed us 
what they could do. The Spring Fling 
was a success. The May Queen was 
crowned and the Court of Honor 
looked lovely during the grand march. 
Dr. Hartley was smiling from ear to 
ear. 



May 8 — Conscience is the voice that tells 
you not to do something after you've 
done it. Isn't that right, Buddy. 



May 12 — The Juniors had their spring 
class picnic. What those Juniors won't 
do next ! Some fun — huh ? 



April 20 — The Mixed Chorus sang beau- 
tifully in the Music Festival. Mr. 
Kuhn was a proud man tonight. 1 
hope he was, at least. 



May 17 — The Seniors and the Student 
Council had ice cream today in honor 
of President Shedd's birthday. Mr. 
Englc had live dixie cups.

Calendar 



May 19 — The incoming students of this 
fall were warmly welcomed at a party 
given by the Subs. They have such 
fun at their parties. 

May 21 — Today Mrs. Engle informed 
her husband that they were having 
company the next day for dinner, and 
they would need eggs. Trying in vain, 
Mr. Engle told his history class, "To- 
morrow we will have the story of Co- 
lumbus and the egg. Every student 
must bring an egg." 

May 22 — I fooled him and brought an 
Easter egg I had been saving. 



May 31 — Staggered through the last one. 
Too tired to shout for joy. 

June 

June 1 — The Juniors gave the Seniors 
one swell Prom. What would we do 
without Bill Graham ? We would prob- 
ably miss that "rush of trouble." 

June 3 — Smith Music Hall was the cen- 
ter of attraction tonight — Baccalau- 
reate Services. It was all very serious 
until Wes came in with his hat on 
crooked and the tassel hanging right 
in his eye. 



May 23 — Goodbye skirts and sweaters, 
flannel shirts, and corduroy pants. 
Summer has come to Champaign- 
Urbana. 

May 24 — I guess it isn't summer after 
all — shiver my timbers this morning. 

May 28 — Exams are here again — the last 
time for me. 

May 29 — Only two more days of torture. 



June 4 — Class Night — I can't describe 
it. At least the Seniors are different, — 
and were the teachers shocked to see 
this U and I?. "Pink and red are so 
pretty," says Miss Richards. 

June 5 — Commencement, and the Seniors 
are graduated. It doesn't seem possi- 
ble — I guess the Juniors are pretty 
happy about the whole affair, but we'll 
always remember our years at Uni 
High!
