Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1963 volume:

Prologue Foreword There is nothing more worthy in a community than that it makes its school the best in the land. These words which strike the eye of all who enter Clay City Community High School have been the inspiration guiding our efforts in the publication of this yearbook. We, the editors, advisors, and staff of the 1963 Clay-tonian have endeavored to make this book representative of the past school year. We trust that much pleasure will be derived from this book, both now and in the years to follow.

Overture THE SHAFERS Mr. Shafer Mrs. Shafer Jim Bill Joann We dedicate this 1963 Claytonian to our principal, Mr. Virgil D. Shafer, in appreciation of his outstanding service to our school and community. He has been our friend and advisor for the past four years. We shall long remember his active interest in school life and student advancement, his untiring efforts to promote scholastic achievement, and his devotion to administrative duties. Upon his shoulders rested the burden of running the school. His job entails being part janitor, teacher, statistician, engineer, diplomat, and policeman. We, the class of 1963, acknowledge and appreciate the high caliber of leadership he gave us while at Clay City Community High School. As Mr. Shafer leaves us to assume the duties and responsibilities of Clay County Superintendent of Schools, we send with him our best wishes for continued success. 9 P.-T.A. Our promoters, the Parent-Teachers Association, help inspire better understanding between parents and teachers.

Tom Rudolphi enjoys the air conditioned comfort the office. Stage Hands Eva Hostettler, not pictured. Larry Hosselton, Sherry Wattles, Charles Reed, and Sue Schwartz are kept busy by their office duties. Forgetting the combination to the safe can prove a trifle embarrassing, as Assistant Principal Covington and Secretary Crackel demonstrate here!! Always busy, always interested, Mr. Shafer keeps C. C. C. H. S. running smoothly and efficiently. His complimentary, Well done!' is a prize worth working for. 15 16 Glancing at a map of our school district, bus drivers Fred Weil-er, Hubert Evans, Willard Foreman, and Ar-kell Murbarger discuss the routes they travel every day. Custodians Scott Cain and Robert Foreman take a break from their busy schedule to pose for a picture. The mad rush to the busses on a blustery day makes a very typical scene for the candid camera.

Selected MOST ATHLETIC by their cohorts, George Toler and Carolyn Murbarger settle down to a serious game of dominoes. Class History As we, the class of 1963, look back on our high school days, we take great pride in recalling the past four years. When we enrolled into this exciting phase of our lives in September 1959, we were looked upon as the usual green freshman by our superiors. We all dreaded initiation, but it turned out to be fun. At our first class meeting under the sponsorship of Miss Genisio and Mr. Fehrenbacher, we elected the following officers: President: Lee Roy Bissey Vice-President: Darrell Carder Secretary: Jane Housley Treasurer: Billie Blessing Student Council: Marilyn Hildebrand and Darrel Phillips We also selected Jean Weidner as our Fall Festival Queen candidate. Our first major high school activity was the Dizzy Derby in which we sponsored Marilyn Hildebrand and Darrel Phillips for King and Queen honors. Shirley Boxell, our May Day Queen candidate, highlighted the freshman class by being the victor. Looking back we find this year consisted of having parties and making acquaintances. 42 Our sophomore year flew by quickly under the supervision of Miss Shore and Mr. Bissey. The Class officers for this year were: President: Shirley Boxell Vice-President: Darrel Phillips Secretary: Elaine Workman Treasurer: Lee Roy Bissey Student Council: Carolyn Murbarger and Jim Martin Our Fall Festival Queen candidate was Carolyn Murbarger and our Dizzy Derby King and Queen were Jim Martin and Elaine Workman. In preparation for our junior year we sold address stickers and made $50.00. Surely our junior year was the busiest and most wonderful of all. Our sponsors for the year were Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Ownby. We elected these officers: President: Lee Roy Bissey Vice-President; Darrel Phillips Secretary: Shirley Boxell Treasurer: Sue Schwartz Student Council: Billie Blessing and Charles Reed Shirley Boxell was our Fall Festival Queen candidate. This year to raise money we sold magazines and surpassed our goal of $1500.00 by $27. 88. On the night of Nov-vember 10, 1961, we sponsored the traditional Dizzy Derby, with Wonderland by Night” as our theme. Billie Blessing served as chairman of this successful project which produced nearly $400.00. Our King and Queen candidates were Johnny Brown and Carolyn Harrison. The main event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom which was held on April 27, 1962. Our theme was Aloha Oe with the Starlighters providing the musical atmosphere. Carolyn Murbarger was the chairman. Along with the Dizzy Derby and Prom, we also held a Christmas Dance. Eagerly we anticipated September 1962, when we would finally earn the traditional title Sophisticated Seniors!” Our senior sponsors were Mrs. Long, Mr. Covington, and Mr. McDaniel. Our officers were: President: Darrel Phillips Vice-President: Jerome Volk Secretary: Billie Blessing Treasurer: Dorothy Wilson Student Council: Elaine Workman and Rexford Gill Our Fall Festival Queen candidate was Elaine Workman, and our Dizzy Derby candidates were Connie Birch and Harvey Cash. As seniors we found that more demands were being made upon our time. Not only the class assignments seemed longer, but activities such as our yearbook required much thought, effort, and hard work. On May 17, 1963, we went to St. Louis, Missouri, for our senior trip. We spent the day shopping and then attended a baseball game that night. Arriving home at 2;30 a.m., were some very tired, but happy seniors. The night we had all been waiting for finally arrived on May 20, 1963. As we marched upon the stage to receive our diplomas, we realized that our high school days were over. Although we look forward to our future, we sigh when we think of leaving memorable CCCHS. We, the class of 1963, hope that CCCHS never forgets us; certainly these past four years have left a distinct impression upon our lives. 43 OFFICERS President: SUSAN CRACKEL Vice-President: TOM RUDOLPHI Secretary: BEVERLY MONICAL Treasurer: JANE ANN TRAVIS BEST ALL AROUND - BEST LOOKING---- MOST STUDIOUS - -MOST TALKATIVE -MOST ATHLETIC - -MOST POPULAR - - -MOST MISCHIEVOUS WHO’S WHO Susan Crackel-------Tom Rudolphi Sharon Pringle - — - - - Cy Long Beverly Monical--------Cy Long Brenda Hohlbauch - - Bernie Smith Judy Thomas---------Tom Rudolphi „ _ . .

The Band has had a very active year. In October they participated in the All-Conference Band Festival. Most of the first chair positions of the various instruments were held by Clay City students. The Band performed at the home basketball games and received many compliments for their entertainment. The crowd particularly enjoyed the band's playing In The Mood, a traditional selection, and The Star Spangled Banner. Band students did very well at the solo and ensemble contest, receiving sixteen of eighteen superior ratings. The entire band received an excellent rating in the contest at Albion. The Band Banquet was held on May 6. Awards were presented to deserving members. On May 14, the community enjoyed the annual Spring Concert which was presented jointly by the High and Grade School Bands. 62 MR.

With Carolyn Murbarger as the leader of our group, some interesting and rather exciting activities were planned and carried out during the year. Among the outstanding programs presented at the chapter meetings were a hilarious skit entitled As Others See You, a panel discussion presented by Mr. Covington and his social problems class, a film strip and talk by Mrs. Lucy Burgess, the installation of new officers, and a comedy review of the year with the eighth grade girls as guests. The girls could not easily forget the night they had a taffy pull and made tray favors of miniature pilgrim hats for the hospital and nursing home for Thanksgiving. They were still scrubbing up little bits of taffy in December. The Toys for Tots service project at Christmas was a riot. Each girl opened her gift and played with it during the meeting, then packed the toys to be put in Christmas baskets for the needy in our community. It was really a task getting that little puppet away from Rosie Iffert! For the Daddy-Date night the girls prepared a real Italian meal of spaghetti, tossed salad, bread sticks, and spumoni and served it on plaid tablecloths by the light of kerosene lamps. After this all participated in a father-daughter basketball game. Betty Dillman made a terrific referee (she called all the fouls on the dads) and Paul Harris almost ruined a good suit. The fathers are still asking, When are we going to do it again? 70 The trip to St. Louis to attend the Globe Democrat Fashion Show was wonderful. The clothes were gorgeous, the shopping fun, and the trip home a bit frightening because of the sudden blizzard. Those twelve girls who could not find the bus finally thawed out by the time they reached Clay City. During FHA week the girls attended the Baptist Church in a group on Sunday morning, conducted a different activity for each day of the week, and wound up with a Sadie Hawkins Dance on Friday night. The three best dressed girls were chosen to participate in the traditional Sadie Hawkins race. Jo Duff and Anita Sunday forfeited the race to win John Welsh when Barbara Sunday outran them and won the coveted crown of radishes and carrots. Candlelight and red roses accented the formal initiation, one of the most important events of this chapter in which the mothers are invited as guests. Then there were trips to Fall Rally, Spring Leadership Conference, and to Southern Illinois University Home Economics Day-all of these educational as well as good clean fun.

Cross Country With only two seniors. Clay City High fielded their first cross country team in the history of the school this fall. They had a commendable season, winning six of nine meets, placing third in the La Grove Invitational and sixth in the fourteen team district meet at Herrin. Top scorer on the squad was Gary Monical who owns the 1.9 mile record of 9:46 minutes set at Olney. Tom Rudolphi was at his best in the big ones and Kelly Schmitt and Glenn Fulk turned out to be the most consistent performers. Sophomore Larry Poehler was one of area's most promising underclassmen. Two of the teams’ three losses were to powerful Olney, the district champion. The only other senior on the thirteen man squad was Jack Osborn. Four sport letterman Kelly Schmitt won the sportsmanship award. Jim Sunday and Don Delaney round out the squad of eight lettermen. With a holdover of eleven, the harriers could number better than twenty next year. 89 GLENN FULK - Elected the teams' honorary captain, Glenn did not really come along until late in the fall. He also won the same honor in track for the second straight year. GARY MONICAL - was named most valuable competitor and holds the Clay City course record of 11:10 min. over the two mile route. He was the only area boy to defeat Olney’s Corrona brothers. Varsity Lettermen Tom Rudolphi Kelly Schmitt John Welsh Cy Long Jim Sunday Larry Poehler Gary Monical Mike Wattles Bernie Smith . . . And away we go! The 1962-63 basketball season was one of the best in school history. The team carried large crowds while winning 20 games and losing 6.

Mr. Maxedon, being very proud of the 1962-63 team, is looking forward to as good a team next year, or even better. 93 G.

The thinclads won for the third successive year the varsity and frosh-soph Midland Trail meets plus adding the Clay City Open in early May. They scored 13 1 2 points in the district meet held at Olney with George Toler and Cy Long qualifying for the state meet. Toler won the shot for the second straight year and Long won the silver medal in the broad jump. Both boys, along with the mile relay team, set new school records during the course of the year. Toler put the shot some 51 feet 6 1 2 inches for a new mark, Long stepped the 70 yards highs in :09.5 taking one-tenth off the record formerly held by Clar-en Hosselton, and the mile relay team reeled off a 3:43.9 mile to set the third record. Long got his record in the conference meet while the other two were set in the annual Clay City Open. Running on the mile relay team were Don Delaney, Kelly Schmitt, Jerome Volk and Glenn Fulk. The relay foursome set a new Midland Trail record but had Jack Osborn and Darrell Carder running in place of Schmitt and Delaney. These four had a best of 3;44.4, just one half second shy of the season's best. Other outstanding performances turned in during this year were a 2:06. 5 half by Darrell Carder, a 4:48.2 mile by Tom Rudolphi, a :53.85 quarter by Glenn Fulk, a 5'9 high jump by Charles Reed, a 21']. broad jump by Cy Long, and five boys bettered 2:10 in the 880.

Farewell To say farewell is not easy, as these four years at Clay City Community High School have meant so very much to us. Clay City Community High School has immensely developed our lives in personality, enthusiasm, and determination. Although our achievements are not outstanding and our abilities are not exceptional, we feel that we have been more adequately prepared to assume the more mature responsibilities of life. But now we must depart from this our dear Alma Mater. The production of this yearbook has been our last measure of sentiment, and may we never forget the memories which it has bound. For those to whom we are so greatly indebted we, the Class of 1963, wish to express our heartfelt thanks before making our final farewell. 121 tar- Financiers Bottlod ondtr Authority of Tho Coco-C-' o Compony by COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Olney, Illinois COMPLIMENTS OF: PAUL V.
