YOU are my inspiration!
As you glance through my contents,
you will often see that you were a
part of the school activities about
which I shall remind you today, to-
morrow, and years from now. Keep
me where you will be able to find me
at a moment’s notice. Read my pages.
Thus you will not forget DTHS and
its faculty. You will remember Bill,
Jim, Betty, and Joan, who were your
classmates and friends through the
years that you spent in high school.
You will remember the proms, the CR
and Hi-Y dances, the lusty cheering
of your teams on the gridiron and on
the hardwood, the committee meet-
ings in which you took part and all the
other highlights of your school years.
All of these bound into one, I offer
myself to you.

You retraced your steps many times down the
winding path which leads to your stately school.
The towered entrance of DTHS greeted you and
will always greet you with a warm welcome. Keep
the Orange and Black among your memories.

Mr. R. G. Beals has added one
more year to his record of faithful
and capable service in the position
as administrator of the affairs at
DTHS. His valuable advice continues to be sought by both students
and faculty. Possessed with a
friendly nature and a sympathetic,
understanding way, he is endowed
with the qualities which befit his
task. DTHS is proud to have him
as superintendent and friend.

YOUR BOARD OF EDUCATION
YOUR SCHOOL’S OFFICE FORCE

Left to right: Mrs. W. C. Eckhardt, Mr. R. N. Rasmusen, Mrs. H. M. Stewart, Mr. J. G. Boyle, president, Dr. 0. W.
Nelson, Mr. R G. Beals, secretary. New members of the Board of Education elected in April are Dr. J .A. Spicker-
man and Mr. W. S. Renner who replace the retiring members, Mrs. W. G. Eckhardt and Mr. J. G. Boyle. Dr. O. W.
Nelson is the new president of the Board.
Countless details throughout the year are taken
care of for you by the office force. You will re-
member them as three cheerful and accommodating personalities. Often they delivered messages
to you and for you ; they located your lost locker
key; they assisted you in rearranging your
semester’s program. Even in the midst of their
office duties proper, this trio willingly helped you.
Did you ever stop to think who is responsible for
the affairs of your school running as smoothly as
they do? Your Board of Education spends many
hours throughout the year mapping a route for
your “Ship of Education” and piloting it to you, its
destination, with a cargo of wonderful opportunities for your advancement.
The duties of your board include the employing
of efficient instructors, managing the maintenance
and improvement of your school property, and fin-
ally balancing the budget. The board comes in
contact indirectly with the student body and the
affairs of your school through your superintendent,
who is their secretary.

The rapidly moving war fronts make L. C. COLVIN'S
economic geography classes of especial value in following world events. Teaching English classes and recording attendance are also a part of his daily routine.
Out from “under the eaves” descends the work of the
art students supervised by GRETCHEN BLOOMSTER
who also instructs freshmen in English.
ELMA BROOKS listens to the pounding of typewriters
all day in an attempt to produce good businessmen. She.
sometimes escapes the din by advising a student council'
meeting.
Having just entered the DTHS faculty this year,
LLOYD NEWCOMER has an appropriate name. He in-
structs classes in English, coaches the debate squads,
and begins a new course in radio speech.
W. H. BEAUMONT is the man behind the projector
when movies are the convocation attraction. His science
and physics lab is always a center of interest at the
PTA spring exhibit.
MARGUERITE CARNAL is one of those in charge of
attendance. She is the one responsible for the conversations one hears in Spanish. Oh yes, she teaches sophomore English too.
Kalibre and New Pennies immediately bring to our
minds MARIAN STIMSON who serves in an advisory
capacity. Her classes are chiefly devoted to English
literature. ’

to be one of the active clubs at DTHS, and NYA help
readily becomes available to students. He continues to
assist in the solving of algebraic and geometric problems.
EVELYN BACHMANN finds herself right in line with
defense activities. She helps guide the health of the
nation with her health classes and gym activities. A
live-wire organization is the G. A. A. which is success-

W. T. EMERY has perhaps become acquainted with
more freshmen this year than usual through his general
science classes. He also teaches chemistry and geometry.
History is an important subject this year. GERTRUDE
ADY is doing her part for national defense by teaching
classes the background of present events, the out-
growths of the past.
MERLIN A. RADDATZ moved both his home and his
classroom this year. His history classes now occupy
room 206. The A Cappella Choir under his direction
has made an unusually fine record this year.
GERTRUDE KELLMAN is the dynamo of those senior

is model plane building to aid in national defense.
WILLIAM BUNN was this year imported from Marengo to take charge of the physical education classes.
His time was also occupied in Frosh-Soph coaching and
i.n organizing intramural sports.
DTHS welcomed a third newcomer in the person of
GEORGE DERTINGER from Lewiston, as head basket-
ball coach. While today's world events rolled off the
press in bold headlines, historical events of the past were
reviewed in his classes. His coaching ability was also
ably displayed on the football field as assistant to Coach
Reihsen.
CHARLES KITTLESON ably conducts another of the
vocational departments of DTHS—printing. A new
feature in his curriculum is metals. During the season
he assisted in coaching the Frosh-Soph football team.
The commercial department is headed by
LARSON, instructor in bookkeeping, economics, and
merchandising. Students desiring vocational education
in the business field become well trained under her
capable guidance.
The junior class is fortunate in having as its adviser

What is your problem? Would you like escalator
or elevators to get you to class on time? Isn’t there
a merit system through which you might be
awarded a “day-off” instead of that dreary detention room? Perhaps these aren’t your problems,
but you probably have one just as important. Do
a little complaining to that home-room representative that is pictured below.
“The wheel that squeaks gets the grease.” Apparently that was just what your representative
did; for you are, no doubt, aware of those shiny
white fountains that give forth ten generous squirts
instead of two. The Student Council urged this
installation of the gift of the class of ’41.
The good times that you had swinging it after
the Sycamore game at the DeKalb-Sycamore mixer
was one of their brain storms. It served as a
peace-session after the pow-wow earlier in the
evening.
These “go-betweeners” for the students and the
board meet first hour on Friday, twice a month.
Jean Crego bears the title of president, Carl John-
son, that of “vice—,” and Betty Corey acts as secretary. Oh yes, that lady sitting to the side, taking
our problems to heart and doing something about
them, is Miss Brooks.
Nor have our representatives lacked in patriot-
ism. Have you bought a defense stamp from them?

Your associates were an important part of your school life.
When you think of Bill, you
will remember his wit and
humor. Betty was one of those
studious girls whose program
also included many extra-cur-
ricular activities. Jim just
would have been lost without
your assistance at different
times during the years; and
Joan, you always thought; was
a born leader. They helped to
make the good times which you
enjoyed together.

Rather humble in manner and twitching with fear, you. be-
gin your high school career. You proceed with caution on your
new venture slipping into place—but not unnoticed. You are
far from immune to the embarrassing situations in which you
find yourself through your errors in grasping what appears to
you to be a setup so new and so big. You want to be a gentle-
man and carry that pretty blonde’s books while escorting her to
class, but loaded down with the weight of your own, you find
this an impossible task. You point with admiration at Tom
and Jane, who are a step closer to the ultimate goal, and you
soon find yourself lost in the thoughts of some day becoming
as self-assured and poised as they.

The school bell rings only to find you serious and stately,
and ready to receive the new guests at DTHS. True to form,
you take it upon yourself to assist some poor “freshie” lost in
bewilderment as he tries to find his way around. You, of
course, have weathered the storm, and in your own mind and
that of the newcomer, you are the “acme of perfection”. The
earmarks which you possessed as a “freshie” have vanished.
By this time, you have dedicated yourselves to service, leader-
ship, character, and scholarship. Already, you are traveling the
path of fame as you become better known through your part
in the various activities and organizations.

Scene:
Alas! You start the last half of your high school career endowed with
certain childlike traits. You possess but a smattering of the sophistication
which was yours a year ago. You are now an upperclassman, and the poor,
unprotected "freshie” is at your mercy.
The sports headlines feature: On the gridiron—Hrnyak, Braffett. Basket-
ball eagers—Wedberg, Fitzgerald, Oberlin. You acclaim Joan Courtney and
the Corey twins for their flag twirling. Donna Johnson lends color to the
atmosphere as chief majorette. You marvel at the dramatic talent of Andy
Plesa and yearn for a vocabulary like Dave Orr’s.
Time marches on. We find you assuming more authority and leadership
in the organizations to which you belong. You have become a staunch
booster of your School’s athletic teams. You are taking advantage of the'
many opportunities which the school offers you. You chat with your class-
mates at the junior party. You drink quarts of punch to cool off after a
strenuous Virginia reel. You are never so busy as during the last week of
school, running yourself ragged taking care of the details for commencement
week. You usher in the seniors to baccalaureate and commencement exer-
cises as well as their parents and friends. Decorating for the prom necessi-
tates many hours of work, but you are not too tired to attend the prom and
share in the gaiety of the evening. The rush of events comes to a close al-
together too soon, but the year ahead has much in store for you.

Act IV
SENIOR MATURITY
Scene: DeKalb Township High School
You perform a major change during the year in your selec-
tion of a new senior ring. By the process of elimination and
with the aid of the juniors, your choice is sifted to one which
from all indications is a favorite with the majority. It is the
close of the year and you are one of a group of students—men
and women now. ’Tis time to don your cap and gown and
slowly march to the assembly hall to receive your diploma, your
fare for your future journey in life. The curtain falls on the
final drama of what you readily concede have been some of
the most enjoyable and worthwhile days of your life.
SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS
James Lincoln, president; Rachel Gabel, vice-president; Martha Jenks, secretary; Miss Kellman,
adviser; Louis Pesut, treasurer.
Unhampered by doubts, we know that you will be a success.
You are a senior—dignified, filled with promise and on the
final threshold toward completion of your high school career.
You introduce your social functions with the Jack’o Lantern
jump which proves to be quite a hop. Cornstalks and pumpkins
lend a realistic touch to it. Guessing the weight of a desig-
nated pumpkin results in a wide range of judgment as each
contestant hopefully awaits the call of his name as winner.
You play host to the juniors in magnificient style at the Senior-
Junior Prom. The eleventh hour finds you hurriedly finishing
innumerable details, and you suddenly realize you have your-
self to prepare for the gala occasion. You disappear for an
hour but we find you back on the scene bright and gay in new
attire ready to enjoy what the evening holds in store.

always did its part to boost a new campaign
or school activity. As an added attraction
the special issues, which stressed the theme
throughout the paper, were dressed up in
multicolors.
Through your cooperation as a subscriber,
the Barblet enjoyed a wide circulation. Edit-
ing of the Barblet was under the supervision
of Mrs. Rutledge. Her guidance enabled the
staff members to put out a top-ranking first
issue. However, her efforts and that of the
staff members did not stop at this point, for
each new issue was an improvement over the
preceding one. Stand by! The Barblet will
bring you further developments.
With an enthusiastic staff on hand busily
writing articles, proof-reading them, and set-
ting up the dummy, your bi-weekly issue of
the Barblet was rushed toward completion.
Students anxiously awaited each new issue to
scan its columns for choice bits of news.
There was cleverness in the cartoons and
originality in the feature articles. The Barb-
let served as a means of presenting an account
of the school's various organizations. “The
Hero’s Bench” lauded the efforts of the
week’s outstanding performer on the gridiron
or the hardwood. Any new venture at DTHS
was introduced to you by the Barblet. The

publication. Everyone enjoyed the confiden-

Laying aside pencil and paper, thinking only of salads, pick-

at a pot-luck supper. After food had done a disappearing act,
the nickelodian offered music for a swing session in the girls’

Miss Wentworth and Mr. Newcomer have
done remarkable jobs considering that “veteran”
is practically an unheard of word this year. But
by the results of the speech contests at Elgin,
Serena, and DeKalb, and the debates at Mendota,
DeKalb, and Aurora, the word “veteran” doesn’t
mean much.
This year many underclassmen are making
names for themselves in declamation as well as
in debate. At the Serena contest, places in the
serious and oratorical divisions were captured
by underclassmen. Of course you all remember
that splendid convocation given by the freshmen
debaters.
All these achievements give good assurance
of our being well-represented in this field, for
many years in the future.

“Sorry kid, can’t bowl tonight—Miss Went-
worth’s waiting to go over my declamation with
me.” "Contest this Saturday, you know”—or
—“better not wait for me, our case has fallen
flat with our entrance into the war, and Mr.
Newcomer has promised to help us tonight.”
These are some snatches of conversation one
might hear coming from participants in forensic
activities.
Having two advisers instead of one, both
branches of this organization are extremely ac-
tive this year. Mr. Newcomer, who is just
what his name implies to our faculty, is piloting
the debaters this year, and Miss Wentworth
who for so many years has heaped honors on our
school by her tactful guidance of this group, is
concentrating upon declamation work. Both

There’s a buzz, a hum in 101. A Spanish Club
meeting is in session. A gavel cracks and the
president, Mary Jo Mohrmann, calls the meeting
to order. The meetings of Las Ululas are in
Spanish; thus members learn to speak and think
better Spanish under the tutelage of Miss Carnal.
This year the Spanish Club and the Art Club
joined forces to present an exciting and glamorous
Carnival. A snappy Madame La Zonga led the
Conga line with Bob Mann hanging on behind.
There was truly a carnival spirit—booths of penny
and dart games, a mysterious fortune teller en-
thralling the crowd with her soothsayings, flowers
literally floating on the breeze.
At such a time when we are trying to attain bet-
ter relations with South America, the Spanish Club
is highly beneficial in teaching the Spanish lan-
guage and also Spanish songs and customs.
Letters still are being exchanged between
Spanish Club members and students in South
American countries, helping to form a better under-
standing with South America.
A colorful and romantic organization which
has a lot of fun, Las Ululas is an excellent addition
to any school.
And so until we meet again—Hasta Manana.

a week. As the season went on, these first
two weeks of hard practice were probably the
most beneficial of all. In a game, when a
player blocked or tackled, it seemed that the
DeKalb boy had the extra punch that comes
from long, hard practice in doing the job right.
The Frosh-Soph squad was composed only
of underclassmen. Although they did not
make an impressive showing at the beginning
of the year, they came through in the latter
part of the season to play some fine football.
Many of these boys have learned, by their
work on the Frosh-Soph team, the funda-
mentals necessary for them to be Varsity
players of the future.

The DeKalb Barbs, NCIC Champions of
1941, chalked up one of the most successful
seasons in the history of DTHS. The Varsity
squad finished the season undefeated and
untied. This feat was due to the superb
coaching of head coach Robert Reihsen and
his assistants, which brought out in the boys
the will-to-win and the fighting spirit neces-
sary for such a fine record. The practice
schedule throughout the year was tough
enough for the hardiest. During the first
two weeks, practice sessions were never
shorter than four hours, but after the season
was started, sessions were cut to about two
and one-half hours a day and only four nights

Dixon 6—DeKalb 0
In the first conference game of the year,
the Frosh-Soph were defeated by a large Dixon
squad. Although they played throughout the
game on even terms, the superior weight of
the Dixon team helped them push over the
winning marker in the fourth quarter.
Princeton 19—DeKalb 0
Proving to be equally as tough as their big
brothers, the Princeton Frosh-Soph, pushed
three touchdowns across to defeat the Barb-
lets. The DeKalb boys threatened in every
quarter, but couldn't seem to get the ball into
pay-dirt. This game featured hard running
and tackling.
Belvidere 6— DeKalb 7
The Barblets were again victorious against
the Belvidere Frosh-Soph. They had been
showing improvement in every game, and
this was generally considered the best played
game of the year. They scored in the third
quarter and held their lead for the rest of the
game.
Downers Grove 41—DeKalb 0
A big, fast Downers Grove team proved to
be too tough for the Frosh-Soph in their sec-
ond start of the year. The Downers Grove
boys scored in every quarter and ran up a total
of six touchdowns by the end of the game,
while the Barblets were held scoreless.
Sterling 6—DeKalb 0
In a game played in most adverse weather
conditions, the Barblets were defeated by
Sterling’s Frosh-Soph. The field was so wet
it was almost impossible to run with the ball
and the Sterling boys capitalized on a fumble
to make the only touchdown.
Mendota 6— DeKalb 7
The Barblets won their first game of the
season against the Mendota Frosh-Soph squad.
Scoring in the third quarter, the Barblets man-
aged to make this lead stand up until the
fourth quarter, when Mendota scored but
couldn’t put the game-tieing extra point
across.
Rochelle 7—DeKalb 0
Although they put up a fight all the way,
the Barblets were defeated in their first game
by Rochelle. Rochelle scored the only touch-
down in the last ten seconds of play on a long
pass into the end zone. They used the same
play to convert the extra point.
VARSITY
Rochelle 0—DeKalb 19.
In the first game of the season the DeKalb
boys gave the fans an idea of what was to
come when they defeated a tough Rochelle
squad. In this game every man on the squad
was given a chance to show what he could do.
Downers Grove 6—DeKalb 21.
The Barbs scored three quick touchdowns
in the first half against Downers Grove to
lead 19-0 at the half. The second half was
a different story, with Downers Grove taking
up the offensive and DeKalb playing defensive
football.
Dixon 0—DeKalb 21.
The first conference game of the year was
played at DeKalb with Dixon furnishing the
opposition. Showing plenty of the scoring
punch that made them a standout team this
season, the home-town team led 7-0 at the
half and went on to defeat the Dukes by three
touchdowns.
Princeton 7—DeKalb 12.
In a game in which hard blocking and tack-
ling were features, the Barbs turned in their
best game of the year in defeating Princeton.
The Barbs were held scoreless in the first half
by a couple of tough breaks, but scored twice
in the fourth quarter to win.
Mendota 7—DeKalb 26.
The third conference game of the season
found the Barbs potted against the heavy
Mendota team. Although Mendota scored
first, they never again threatened; and the
DeKalb boys scored once in the first half, once
in the third quarter and twice in the fourth
quarter.
Belvidere 7—DeKalb 41
In a non-conference game at Belvidere, the
Varsity squad kept its record perfect by rol-
ling over the Belvidere team by six touch-
downs. The whole squad played in this game,
with substitutes playing a large part of the
time. This performance again showed the
depth of the squad.
Sterling 6—DeKalb 12
On a muddy, windswept field, DeKalb and
Sterling fought it out for the Conference
Championship. DeKalb scored first in the
first quarter, but was tied in the second
quarter by a long Sterling drive. With only
a few minutes left in the game, the winning
score was made for a DeKalb victory.
Sycamore 0—DeKalb 20
In the final game of the year, the Barbs
downed a hard-charging Sycamore squad in
the annual battle. Sycamore threatened only
once, in the second quarter, while the Barbs
were pounding out three scores to clinch the
game. This was the final game for nine of
the regulars on the squad.

Lower Row:
The crowd on their toes yelling and screaming
watched both teams make a basket thus car-
rying the game to a double overtime. The
second overtime was of “the sudden death”
variety in which the first team making a point
wins. On the next play DeKalb made a basket
on a fast break only to have it called back
because of traveling. Sterling then made the
long shot that decided the game.
Another thriller was with Princeton, also
an overtime. The Barbs dropped this game
with the very close margin of two points.
In the annual holiday tournament the Barbs
were unable to defeat the tall, flashy West
Chicago squad. The tournament was again
won by the Waterman squad, the runner up
being Hinckley.
Sycamore, instead of DeKalb, was host to
the regional tournament this year. There
were eight teams participating which in-
cluded Waterman, Sycamore, Hampshire,
J. Ebbesen, L. Matevich.
Upper Row: E. Riippi, R. Courtney, R. Oberlin, Harold Littlejohn.
The season in review showed a number of
thrilling games attended by many enthusiastic
fans. The Barbs showed great spirit and
drive and offered their opponents a real fight,
but they could not eke out those last precious
points in those overtimes. Watch the Barbs
next year. Many talented boys are returning
and Coach Dertinger is plenty enthusiastic.
HEAVYWEIGHTS
“Watch for that roll off!”—"Didn't you
block that man?”—.the new coaching staff
constantly drilled these points into the Barbs
this year.
Coach Dertinger has showed the team how
to train hard and to use good technique in
offensive play. The Barbs reached second
place in the North Central Conference to
show that all their work had counted.
Neither players nor students will forget the
thriller with Sterling. Remember? After
Sterling thought the game was cinched, the
Barbs came back to make a double overtime,.

The freshman-sophomore squad under the
supervision of Mr. Bunn learned many new
plays by which to better their basketball
technique. Kyler and Wagley, the only play-
ers who had had experience last year, have
played good ball. Working around these two
players, Mr. Bunn played many combinations
to get his best working squad.
Jack Massier, coming to DeKalb from Dun-
dee, proved an asset to the team. He proved
this by his record of over two hundred points
during the season.

Genoa, Shabbona, DeKalb. Hinckley, Marengo,
Genoa, and Hampshire were eliminated the
first night; DeKalb and Shabbona the second
night. Waterman and Sycamore battled for
first place. Both of these teams went to the
sectional contest. Sycamore was victorious
over Waterman in the final game of the
regional contest.

On January 27 DeKalb went to Sycamore
for a pair of games that are always close.
The freshman-sophomore players won’t for-
get the one that they lost to Sycamore by one
point. Nor will they forget the thriller that
they won from Sterling by four points after
Sterling thought they had the game cinched.
On March 17 the freshman-sophomore
team entered a tournament at Belvidere. This
tournament was only for teams of this terri-
tory. The Barb quintet was victorious in the
first game, winning from Woodstock 55-15.
In the second game they showed their superiority over Belvidere by defeating them 42-31.
DeKalb after being defeated twice by Belvidere during the season came back in this
tournament to defeat them 42-31. DeKalb
went to the final game before meeting de-
feat at the hands of the strong Dundee team
which rolled up a score of 67-33.
Next year the Barb frosh-soph squad is
looking for a very good season. Many ex-
perienced players will still be part of the squad
in the 42’-43’ season.

these sports this year. A group of girls took
weekly hikes to earn points and to gain exercise.
Three indoor sports came in with “Old Man

The senior team won the inter-class basketball

entered the bowling leagues, Betty Judd, Donna
Gillis, and Adele Carstedt emerged with high-

A great deal of planning and organization, on
the part of Miss Bachmann and the GAA council
were needed in order to fit the complicated

With the addition of new sports and of more
new participants, the schedule had to be ar-
ranged so that all members could get in the

The loud school clock peals out one stroke. The clanging bell in the
hall echoes and all is quiet, but—yes, the band is going up and clown the
scales. Every day, fifth hour, students all join in “making music"—every-
thing from Strauss to swing.
The Band started the fall by thrilling you in the grandstands with their
novel formations—remember that airplane that moved down the field
with baton twirlers motivating the propellers?—baton twirlers in swirling
white satin skirts and high brilliant hats.
As the winter snows scurried over the fields and the marching band was
forced to take cover, it rapidly attuned its styles of playing to the concert
stage where it presented, after weeks of hard work, their Christmas pro-
gram. This was a performance of a lighter nature with a toy-land theme.
The selections and special participants were chosen to carry out this pleasant
theme—thrilling, nine-year-old David MacKain, illuminated batons, Robert
Mann’s caricature of the “Three Bears”, and the illuminated spelling of
DeKalb High School—all made a spectacular evening’s entertainment.
As the white blanket was gradually dissolved by spring rain, the night of
March 20 saw people coming in droves to the high school to sit through
another enjoyable concert—the seventh annual spring concert. This was
the result of intensive study for several weeks.
There were fine examples of just exactly what students can do—Ellen
Jane Montgomery displayed her talents by having the band accompany her
in a Rubenstein concerto—the clarinet sextette also showed finesse in
their selections—Leonard MacKain and Shirley Peterson sang Victor Herbert
songs arranged by Mr. Fogelberg. The A Cappella concluded the program
by singing, accompanied by the band, three numbers.
All in all the band is just a whole stageful of talent—talent brought out
by their energetic director, Mr. Fogelberg.

Every morning first hour a passerby may hear issuing from
the band room: the thump of the bass viol, A being pounded
on the long suffering piano, and the sometimes painful pop
of a broken string. The orchestra is tuning up.
Though small, the orchestra wins its niche in the Hall of
Fame, under the direction of Lawrence Fogelberg. You may
not see it at a game or marching in a parade, but at any dra-
matic production, such as’the senior play, the orchestra is there
to lend atmosphere. The orchestra also played at the Gideon
Bible presentation, but the strings went strictly modern at the
Christmas Concert, and played songs from the Hit Parade. On
Commencement night the orchestra played a processional while
the seniors marched solemnly down the aisle. The new mem-
bers recruited from grade school watch wide-eyed while the
senior members of orchestra graduate, and think that next year
they will have to fill their places.
The orchestra was represented at State High School Conference by Lois Rita Dailey, Ellen Jane Montgomery, Carol Murphy,
Wilho Elson, Nancy Kennedy, and Robert Switzer. These
troupers made the trip to Champaign to participate in the orchestra composed of the best high school musicians from the
entire state.

Again this year Mr. Furr escorted a group of boys to
the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago. During the course of the day they saw all animals, exhibits,
and also a matinee held for F. F. A. members. The club
was proud of Robert Alms’ exhibit which received third
prize.
On November 3, the boys were hosts for annual Fathers and Sons Banquet. Chicken was abundant as usual.
Mr. Erickson, a former DeKalb boy now at the Univer-
sity of Northwestern, gave a very interesting after-
dinner speech.
The initiation of freshmen was held at the high school
on the evening of March 25. The upper classmen say
the event was more fun than a circus. After the initiation refreshments were served.

A busy youth sat hunched over his work with a far-away look in his eyes.
All at once, he reentered reality, working madly over his masterpiece. He’s
a—no, not a writer, nor a composer. Yes, my friend, he’s an artist with an
inspiration!
More than ever, activity seems to be the code of the Art Club this year.
By their service, they have proved to be indispensable to our school, just as
Miss Bloomster has proved indispensable to the Club.
Altogether the Club boasts of thirty-three members and meets the first
Friday of every month. Every program affords worthwhile and helpful
pointers. There was the window display man from Chicago who gave help-
ful hints on commercial art. Then too, there was the student from
NISTC, Norman Freed, who discussed and showed reproductions of modern
American printings. During the year, movies on soap carving, perspective,
and sculpturing were enjoyed. Sketch groups were active last winter.
The goal of the members is the honor pin, given those credited with the
greatest number of hours spent in service work. All those posters around
school advertising meetings, dances, concerts, bake sales, and what-have-
you, are credited on some art student’s service card. Many have lately been
busy with Red Cross posters.
Don’t think the Art Club is all intellectual. Oh, no. Think of flowers,
dart games, fiesta, brightly-colored skirts, and fun—the Spanish-Art Club
Carnival. These artists can swing a partner as well as a brush!

Membership in the Home Economics Club
was limited this year to juniors and seniors
taking a course in home economics. This small-
er group of girls began the year by electing Lois
Reta Dailey, president. Miss Margaret Merz is
the Home Economics Club adviser.
An interesting meeting came each month.
Adeline Edell's home was the scene of a barbe-
cue on October 21. This informal get-to-gether
helped each girl to know everyone else in the
club. In November, Miss Helen Johnson, De-
Kalb County Home Bureau Adviser, gave a talk
on “How to Become a Home Adviser".
At another meeting, short reports were given
by several members on Dietetics, Teaching, Com-
mercial Buying, Writing, and other fields for
home economics, majors.
At Christmas time, members of the club held
a party on December 18 during the noon hour.
Gifts were exchanged and red and green lolli-
pops were special treats which the foods classes
had made and decorated with comical faces.
The Home Economics Club joined the other
organizations of the school in furnishing a
Christmas basket for the needy.
The foods lab and the clothing room are both
places of interest and activity on the night of
the PTA spring exhibit.

The Girls’ Chorus rehearses second hour and boasts of sixty members. It was
organized at the beginning of the second semester and proved to be everything that
Mr. Raddatz had hoped it would be. The first time that the school heard this
group was at the spring concert. Later in the spring, it sang at a convocation. Al-
though the appearances were few, this choral group convinced its audiences that it
was a “must be" in the school.
The Double Mixed Quartet was the most active group and offered entertainment
for many club programs. It sang at the PTA Christmas Party, the Kiwanis Club,
the Brotherhood of the First Lutheran Church, the Ladies’ Aid of the Methodist
Church, and a high school PTA Meeting. It took part in the stunt program at the
Lutheran Church and presented a full concert at the Garden Club.

SNAPS: Scenes from the Valentine dance.
The evening of April 17 was the highlight of the year for the A Cappella Choir,
for this was its annual spring concert. Lovers of classical and novelty numbers were
far from disappointed when they heard their favorites played. (No bragging allowed,
but these songsters are good!) The Double Mixed Quartet and the Girls’ Chorus
added to the success of the evening.
This year, for the first time, the A Cappella Choir sang with the band at the con-
cert March 20. Those who heard the combination agreed that they should do it
more often.
On Valentine’s night these choristers took.
in their toes, and matched step for step, as
boogie-woogie fans.
Leonard MacKain croons as president of the A Cappella, Shirley Peterson, as treas-
urer: Glendora Dellinger and Vivian Bjelk. are the active librarians. The baton that
brings forth these praiseworthy harmonies belongs to Mr. Raddatz, the director.

Were you an unfortunate one
who had your face smeared
with theatrical make-up for
your part in "The Second Mar-

Mr. Bunn was the “whistle footer” for all of
these games. After all consolation games
were played off Minnesota and Podunk, two
very good teams, competed for the final game.
Minnesota was victorious.
A call came early for all boys wishing to
play intramural softball early in the month
of April. Eighty-four boys who signed up for
this sport were divided into eight teams.
These games were also played during the noon
hour.
With the help of Mr. Stein of the college,
Mr. Bunn helped with the supervision of a
tennis and a golf team.
This year has proved to be a very active
year for those who entered into the intra-
mural program.
The intramural sports this year have at-
tracted many of the boys who did* not play
in varsity competition. They have shown
especial interest in bowling and basketball.
Every Wednesday after school the bowling
alleys had their weekly dusting off by the high
school bowling teams. Occupying eight al-
leys on these afternoons, the fellows all tried
to beat Mr. Bunn, their director and com-
petitor. The fact that they were there every
time shows that they all were keenly inter-
ested in their teams’ results.
For intramural basketball the fellows chose
captains who in turn chose teams. Two dif-
ferent teams played every noon. Early in
March they staged a tournament which lasted
for about two weeks. The winning team
were to get medals for all their skill and fun.

Row Three:
ball team with their coaches enjoyed, as honored
guests, the G. A. A. ’s annual Christmas ban-
quet on December 17. A novel menu, a fine
program, and the presentation of gifts to every-
one from Santa made it an unforgettable evening.
That same day, the freshmen were both form-
ally and informally initiated into the association
of girl athletes. Initiates walked the halls in
gym outfits with false muscles, carrying dumb-
bells and wearing a sign declaring, ‘‘I was a
dumb-bell until I joined the GAA”. That even-
ing, at a candle light service, the girls faithfully
took the vows of healthy girlhood, good sports-
manship, and comradeship, and received their
pins, the symbol of a full-fledged GAA member.
Again this year the girls sponsored the tra-
ditional spring dance on May 16. The picnic
and the ice cream social were two of the final
events of the school year. Several girls were
chosen to represent DTHS at the GAA summer
conference.
All of the activities of GAA are noticeably
contributing to the national defense program
this year through its efforts in building physical
health and in molding character.
No one doubts the fact that the Girls’ Athle-
tic Association is an active one, for its calendar
has red-letter days from early fall until the last
week of school. Its program is not only one of
athletic participation but also one with social
and financial interests.
When the freshman girls are invited to the
GAA party held during the first week of school,
they are introduced to the club and given an
explanation of its sports and award systems
through short talks given by each sport leader
and the officers.
Everyone came “Backward” to the first all-
school mixer, of the year, September 20, spon-
sored by the GAA. Jane Groves received the
prize for coming dressed the “most backward.”
In October, the association was host to re-
presentatives from other associations in fifteen
surrounding schools at a playday based on a
Hallowe’en theme.
Seventy-five alumnae, teachers, and active
members attended the annual Home Coming
breakfast on November I I. A short talk by each
council member helped to give the alumnae an
idea of what the association is doing this year.
Then, as each alumna was introduced by the
president, she rose and told the group what she
was doing this year. In this way, old members

GIRL RESERVE
CABINET
“Attention, Girls! Are you tired, worn out,
and disillusioned? If so, be sure to attend the
first Girl Reserve meeting tomorrow.” Such
are the echoes of the loudspeaker starting an
eventful year for the Girl Reserves.
Last September, the freshman girls took their
bow as washerwomen. Their trials were worth-
while, for they were becoming “gleam follow-
ers.”
On October 26, members were escorted to the
Hopkins Park Shelter House for a banquet and
dancing to strains of “Turkey in the Straw.”
Each was in the company of a distinguished-
looking man — Ah-ha! — the Father-Daughter
Supper.
And on January 24, they attended a Winter
Carnival—in fOrmals! Of course, it was the Girl
Reserve annual formal dance a gala affair after
which every girl went home footsore but happy.
At Christmas and Easter, the girls turned to
something in a more serious vein. Generously
they laid these white gifts under the school
Christmas tree. During Holy Week, their morn-
ing services were an inspiration to every Girl
Reserve and Hi-Y attendant. At this time they
also sold Easter seals to aid crippled children.
The long-remembered Mother-Daughter Ban-
quet, the impressive senior teas, and the party
salute to the freshman girls of ’43 completed
another successful year.
You see why, every year on every other Wed-
nesday, new girls are realizing their good for-
tune in being Girl Reserves.

Any member of the Senior-Junior Dramatic
Club will agree that the meetings were really
interesting . . . especially the impromptu
reading of plays.
Many times at noon the school clock
chimed to the rhythm of choral reading as the
Freshman-Sophomore Dramatic Club developed their talents along that line. Almost
any day you could pass room 102 and hear the
regular swing of “Tommy Atkins”
The Senior-Junior Dramatic Club certainly
set up fine ideals for the Freshman-Sophomore
Dramatic Club; to all appearances the Fresh-
man-Sophomore Club have lived up to them
and will continue to do so.
; a tense silence . . . the house
lowered . . . the curtain rises to
reveal another success by the Senior-Junior
Dramatic Club.
Surely you must have seen “The Second
Marriage of Santa Claus”. Remember when
Santa Claus came down the chimney and had
that interesting talk with Emmy?
Wasn’t that a funny situation in “Passing
the Buck”. . . . . all the financial problems of
those young married women!
Can you imagine the uneasiness and tensity
of having a formal party without even know-
ing who’s coming? "Fourteen”, the contest
play, settled this complication humorously.

“D” CLUB
S^“R. Twombly, R. Wagley, J.

President—Robert Courtney.
Vice-President—Carl Johnson.
Secretary and Treasurer—Calvin Evensen.
Sergeant at Arms—Earl Sullivan.
Adviser—Mr. Dertinger.
The "D” Club is the organization made up
by the letter-winners in football, basketball,
track, tennis, and golf. In order to be eligible
for this club, it is necessary to play about
one-half of the quarters in the season, and to
attend the practices regularly. In football,
the quota was thirteen quarters, in basket-
ball about thirty quarters; in track it is
based on points won by the boys in the
meets. A first place in any meet or event
will give a letter, or a total of twenty points
will give a letter with no first place needed.
In tennis and golf it is also necessary to place
in one of the tournaments to receive a letter.
The club this year was under the direction
of Coach George Dertinger. The main event
of the year for the club was the annual dance
held in the gym on May 23, with Herbie
Palmer’s orchestra furnishing the music. It
was, as usual, one of the finest dances of the
year.

showed some of the trick plays he intends to
give the Barbs next year. The Reverend Mr.
Morford told of his experiences in becoming
a flyer and owner of an airplane.
The Hi-Y helped spread good cheer at
Christmas time when they combined forces
with the Girl Reserves to distribute baskets
for the needy. The Hi-Y also helped with
Girl Reserves support, to make the early morn-
ing services before Easter a very successful
program. These services started at 7:30 each
morning and lasted until the first hour bell
rang. Miss Brooks, Mrs. Ralph MacKinzie,
Mr. Billman, and Mr. Beals spoke for these
programs. The students led the devotions.
The Hi-Y closed the year by electing and*
installing next year’s officers.
“Swing and sway the Hi-Y way” was the
theme of this year’s Hi-Y dance which was
dedicated to our conference championship
football team. As a new feature the door
prize was a subscription to a Kalibre. The
horse-shoe fell on Harold Sodergren when his
name was drawn as the winner.
Howard Littlejohn presided over the noon
meetings that were held twice monthly in
the music room. After the rattling of lunch
bags subsided the fellows heard many out-
standing talks. Mr. Makela’s chalk talk told
of thought expression through caricatures. In
these caricatures he would illustrate the personalities in stories and poems which he told.
Mr. Reihsen’s slides of football plays inter-
ested the boys greatly. In the pictures he

selected this year through votes
of their classmates and the faculty. These members were
formally initiated into the national organization at an assembly of the student body on April 27. Brothers and sisters
of the 1942 graduates gave the service. Joseph Faivre
acted as president while Tillie Bjelk, Phyllis Rowe, Bette
Nelson, and Tillie Pesut gave the parts on Scholarship, Lead-
ership, Character, and Service respectively. Ruth Benson
Smith sang “I Would Be True”. Professor J. Hal Connor
gave a fine address to the new members and the school,
fitting to the occasion. Miss Kellman, senior class adviser,
and Mr. Beals issued the membership cards to the newly
initiated members.
Each year the Daughters of the American Revolution con-
fer an honor on an outstanding girl of the senior class. This
year Bonnie Jean Gonterman was chosen through the votes
of the senior class and the faculty based on her record of
Leadership, Scholarship, Dependability, Patriotism, and Ser-
vice.
To further interest in scientific work is the purpose of the
Bausch and Lomb award which is given each year to a student
who excels in science.
To qualify for the award and receive the medal, a student
must have studied science three or four years. The final decision is made by the members of the science faculty.
This year the award was given to John Nelson.

You had fun at the Senior-Junior Prom; proof of it shows in those
smiles above. Amid fish, octopi and mermaids, seniors and juniors
floated to the rhythm of Harold Kayes’ music. The deep sea with a
surface of pastel balloons could hardly be recognized as the boys’
gym, such was the excellence of the marine art which oblitered such
prosaic objects as radiators and baskets. Sea water was especially im-
ported in the form of refreshing punch for the energetic dancers; to
add to the atmosphere small fish flashed back and forth as dance pro-
grams.
The members of the senior class who were responsible for the success of the prom were: the decorating committee Rachel Jean Gabel,
chairman, James Lincoln, Shirley Peterson, Jean Crego, Robert Mann,
Louis PesutL and Donald Baker; program committee, Betty Briggs,
chairman, Marilee Talbot and Betty Rowe; bids committee, Einar Ford.
