FHA 1,2,3,1 Margol Staff 1 Year Book 1 CUSS HISTORY Four years ago 120 valiant souls of the present senior class landed upon the shores of CCHS to wage their war against ignorance and inequality. During our first year in high school we managed a number of victories but we also encountered some defeats. We soon realized that our fight was going to be a long and hard one, but we went through the year bravely and successfully considering all the obstacles Freshies have to meet. In May of 191 7 our unseasoned company was granted a three months leave by the chiefs of staff. The days of our leave passed quickly by and in September we reported back to grour headquarters to be reorganized as Sophomores. In our previous tour of duty as freshmen we had been confused and uncertain at times. Our maneuvers and squad formations had previously been ragged and not in keeping with tradition. But now we began to show such extraordinary perseverance, such a thorough knowledge of tactical formations, such a finish and elegance in all our maneuvers, that the brass hats seemed to stare at us with wide-open, astonished eyes. In our outfit we discovered a number of talented students, musicians, athletes and a few who were destined to romp around at precarious heights with paint brushes. It wan during this campaign that we began to appreciate, to a higher degree, our comrades in arms. Our company distinguished itself many times and our service record was beginning to make the others sit ur and take notice. Though our unit had decreased to 102 members we had the situation well in hand on nearly every occasion. The days quickly passed and again, towards the end of May 191 3, we were granted a three month leave, in which we were to recuperate from our aches and pains. In September, 191 8, we rallied once more, but as full-fledged Juniors, to renew our campaign. Our ranks have been decreasing with the passage of time and of the original outfit of 120 only 92 are left to carry on. In spite of our decreasing numbers we were an exceptionally efficient force and when we undertook a task it was accomplished—come what may. It was during this year that the more talented members of our organization became deserving of hearty praise. Our class play, You Can't Take It With You , took the school by storm and it set a high goal for the future classes to equal. We continued our fight but we still managed to find sufficient time to put on the most attractive Junior-Senior Prom in recent years. After having been granted the usual three months leave, from May 19l 9 to September 19l 9, we find ourselves once more responding to roll call. When roll call is finished we discover that there are only 88 of us left. Our casualty list has been fairly high, which was to be expected, but that hasn't altered our high morale in the slightest degree. This year passes very quickly and soon it is time for us to be honorably discharged. As we look back on the past years, and upon all the past experiences, it seems hardly possible that soon we will be forced to say farewell to our comrades in arms. Torether, our class has grown older and wiser. Our mutual fight against ignorance and inequality has brought all of us closer but now all that is brought to an end by the endless passage of time. We, as a class, will soon be leaving. To our successors we leave the safekeeping of CCHS and all of its proud traditions. Thou:h we pass through the portals of CCHS it does not mean that we are giving up the fight. As long as ignorance and inequality exist, we will keep fighting them in hopes of one day creating a better democracy for the future venerations.

Senior Class Prophecy May 1970 Dear 19!?0 Alumni, I finally found time to answer your' letter. You asked about all the kids vre graduated with, so I’ll try to bring you upvto date on all the new developments. I hope that I can remember everbody because it seems longer than twenty years since vre left dear old CCHS and started'.out to seek our fortunes;- I saw in the paper this morning that Teeny, Harvin and family will soon be moving into a larger home, built by Herb North, Paul Smallwood and Tony Burton, well known architects, who also had charge of building the new 15 000 room hotel for the resort at Weldon Springs. Had you heard about the resort? It really is a swell oneI Yesterday there was a big parade to welcome back George Summers, Junior McGavock, and Joe Patterson, known the world over for their athletic success. George is now an indispensable pitcher for the Chicago Cubs, who last year won the National League pennant. Junior, who plays for the Cleveland Browns, is now one of the highest paid professional football men in the country. Joe, who was also honored at the parade, is the star guard for the New Fizz Kids. Do you remember back about 19U9, when we were Juniors, all the talk about building a new west unit? Well, they finally got around to doing it, they rebuilt the whole school. Since I had heard so much about the school, I decided to go down and visit it and was really glad I did. Remember where the little gym used to be? Well, it’s been replaced by a new swimming pool and Isabelle Sears, the new P. E. teacher, is doing a fine job of teaching the students the finer arts of swimming. There is also a new movie theater with plush seats where movies are shown almost every day. Everybody enjoys these, especially when they have the opportunity to see those celebrated stars from Hollywood, Margie Parker and Bob Lynch, portray their success upon the screen. They both starred in that smash hit ROCKET TO THE MOON. I suppose you know that their performance in this picture won the Academy Awards. I was told that whenever it is possible the Student Government features Dick Brown and his orchestra at their school dances. Since Dick has such a busy schedule, it is rather hard for him to find a date when he can come to Clinton but Dick says the Clinton High Orchestra gave him his start so he’ll never be too busy for them. As I toured the classrooms I met some of our old school chums who have since become teachers and they had a little spare time to chat for a while. r t u V I was surprised to see Barbara Burns teaching Junior English. She was doing a fine job, too. Donna Goin is now the capable librarian at the large new school library and Verna Crydenwise is head librarian at the Public Library. I received a great surprise when I decided to drop by the Unit office to see the superintendent. Remember Dwight Rickgaurer? He is nov principal and he v as making an announcement just like Hr, Evans used to do. Then I v as pleased to look up and see a distinguished Ray Moss enter and take the seat behind the desk. Evidently Ray likes his job as superintendent and he certainly can't kick about his private secretary. Kiss Virginia Adams. Since the athletic department has enlarged a great deal, they now have four coaches. Gene Lindsey had his track boys out on the nev field ju3t south of the high school. Ed Young made the most rugged football coach you have ever laid eyes on. The football boys were out practicing for next fall. As I passed the baseball diamond I heard a familiar voice shouting, Strike three, you're out, The voice belonged to none other than Don Feaman, head baseball coach. Don v as being assisted by Joe Duvall, the basketball coach, whose successful season had already passed. After many attempts by others, Joe coached the now famous maroons to the State Championship this year. After visiting the nev; school all morning I was becoming rather tired sc I decided to venture uptown. As I came out of the school I saw Norma Maltby and her kindergarten children crossing the street. That reminds me of Donna Day who is now operating a day nursery and from what I hear, it really is a help to the mothers of Clinton. Donna has another talent. She designed and decorated the interior of the nursery in her spare time. As usual I had to wait for a train to pass and as it ’.vent chugging by someone waved—it was Jerry Gawthorp who is now an engineer. Since I v as so close and had never seen the Y since it v as redecorated I decided to go in and look around for a while. Who should I meet but Martha Robinson, now Clinton Y director. I went on uptown past Jack Wade's Farm Implement Store and Henry Ilarpenau came driving out on a new Massey Harris tractor. He said he was going to use it this spring to till his 300 acre Sunny Hill farm. Stepping off the curb, I almost ran into a young Naval Commander. I was astonished to see Gene Craig that I had to stop and talk over ol' times ! Through the open door of the feed store we watched a high pressure salesman, Duzzy Galloway, sell dubious Merle Killer a ton of the new scientific hog feed, to nourish his purebred hogs. Alongside Merle v as a very disgusted looking woman, presumably peeved because the feed sacks were made of plain material instead of print. Perhaps you remember her, she used to be Jessie IVisegarver. After I had said good-by to Gene and steoped across the street, (just in time, too) the fire truck came whizzing by. I caught a flying glimpse of Paul and Jim Harris, two brothers working hand in hand for the city fire department and the welfare of Clinton. Since I have been invited out to dinner tomorrow evening I decided to go into the Clinton Floral Shop and buy a gift for my hostess. She used to be Hallie Arnold. She certainly is lucky to have such a nice home and family. They live about six miles west of Clinton, down around Kenney, Illinois. Leah Newcome, who is now sole owner of the Floral Shop, had many helpful suggestions as to nice gifts for Hallie. Strolling further down the street, I heard a paper boy shouting, Einstein Moles solves another theory. No doubt you have heard of Kenneth (Einstein) Moles. We are quite proud of him and his brilliant mind. Hearing the paper boy reminded me of Bill Kent. He has really made a wonderful editor of the New Journal and Public. Remember when there were only four pages to the paper? Now we are happy to say that Bill, with the excellent help of his fine reporters, is now producing a 2k page paper. Three of his finest writers are. Bob Fosnaugh, Mary V,rey and Ann Vfard. Bob writes articles of human interest and all society events are covered by Mary, Ann gives advice to the lovelorn in her spare time. Of course, you know Ann is married now and has three small children. It must have been quitting time for I saw Barbara Hassinger with her boss, Loren Cameron, coming out of the new branch office of the State Farm Mutual. Loren is head of the Clinton branch and I guess he got there by arguing his way up. Following them were Georgia Jackson, Patty Polen, Norma Hertsock and Helen Anderson, all of whom are competent typists. Wouldn't you know that these would be the ones to land those easy jobs. They only work five hours a day] I decided to cut through the court house, since it was closer to my car. As I passed the court room it reminded me of yesterday when I sat in on the case of Lawson vs. Carter. Sheriff Dale Gibson had brought them into court to settle a small disagreement. It seems as though Lloyd's pigs had eaten Ronald's com. Marilyn Crawford, court reporter had a hard time keeping up with Lloyd's fast talking. Steve Smith, judge, had no difficulty in persuading the two to shake hands and be friends. After coming out of the court house, I was debating whether to go home or to go over to Jill's Jive Joint and get a coke. Jill Maxwell has really opened a swell place for the kids to meet but is dissatisfied for she would like to be talcing care of her six children. Deciding to go home, I walked to the car. On my way I saw the former Loraine Gaby and her twins coming out of Joann Rowling's office. Possibly you have heard of our fine child psychologist. Guess Loraine has her hands full with those two lively twins. After speaking to Loraine I climbed into my car and vras all set to start home but the old bugoy wouldn't go.so I called Charles Scogin at his garage. It took no tine at all for him to fix it so I was putting merrily down the street when I saw something that looked like a walking grocery store but it was Patti Lynch. Seeing she needed help, I stopped to help her. She said thanks and mumbled an explanation about Bob's homecoming and having a large dinner for him. Patti also mentioned Ed Ely's homecoming. He is getting back tomorrow from a trip to darkest Africa. Can't you imagine little Eddie killing and capturing big ferocious animals? She said he had captured the second Mighty Joe Young, now in the Chicago Zoo. Patti and I had a great talk and she also told mo about Joyce Johnson, now modeling in one of Chicago's large department stores. She has it very easy for all she does is lie in bed all day or sit in a chair to show off all their comforts—'wasn't I right when I said easy? After letting Patti out I started home but then I decided to stop and see Marilyn Bell, the head nurse at the hospital. She had just had a hectic day and was having a rest period. Marilyn Sronce had just taken her place. I caught a glimpse of Lois Leicht floating past the door. Marilyn Bell is very well pleased with her staff of fine workers. By this time it was getting pretty late and I remembered that supper was to be ready at six. I rushed back to the new V algreen drug store to buy somo Pepto-Eismol. Bud Trummel manages this beautiful, modem store. He has a work 3hift so that everyone will have at least U5 minutes for a nap. David Bowles was grabbing a quick cup of coffee in order to keep awake for his night commercial school. One of the teachers of his school, Ruth Dobbs, is resigning to get married. Guess David is quite worried as to whom he will hire to take her place. David said he supposed he could get his secretary, Betty Leach, to teach but she was already working very hard. I suggested Esther Day, since I knew she was unemployed at the time. Esther has just finished tutoring the ritzy Mew Yorker, Miss Vala Larenz. David thought this idea perfect for he knew Esther could get along with the other teachers. Anyway he left his coffee hardly touched in order to call her. Gathering up my package, I heard a small child crying, Mommy I want an ice cream cone I Then a small chorus chanted the tune. Mommy was the former Wilma Harris. She was really having a picnic with her four children. Finally I got on the way home again I In the car ahead of me was Joe Nixon. Can't these farmers think of anything but hogs? He had a big emblem of a hog on his license plate. Joe turned in front of me to talk to Charles Williams. Charles seems to be doing well; he has a dairy farm and is thinking of buying out the Meadow Gold Co. Before I could think of much more a big Cadillac zoomed around mo. It was a Cadillac with Leopard skin upholstery and it belonged to Bruce Carmean. Bruce and Barbara live on a big estate about five miles from town. The house on the estate was designed by Bruce himself as he is a skilled architect. Barbara, in her: spare time, designs hats for Lille Dache 1 They really lead a life of luxury. Anna Dial is out enjoying the sun now. She has a very cute little cottage where she designs dresses for Macey's in New York. On the side line she is in competition with Harry Breighner by raising thoroughbred horses. Harry owns a large and spacious dude ranch just a mile from Anna. Then I turned off the highway and passed Leon Fink's farm called Pig's Palace. He has gone in for giving pigs a clean life as he has about one acre completely cemented for these animals. Bud '.Tantland seems to think that idea is fine for he is thinking of doing the same thing, only he wants to raise goats. Well, I finally pulled up to my little farm and----oh dear, it looked as though one of those pesky lambs from Lee Thomas' place was over in my yard. I went in and called Lee and told him I was going to have lamb chops for supper if something wasn't done soon. I no sooner hung up than I had a telephone call from Phyllis Bogardus. She is head operator at the Clinton Telephone Company and she said she had been trying to get me all day but hadn't succeded until now. Oh yes, our little WHOVV is really enlarged now. Bill Cochran is radio engineer and Jerry Gardner i3 an announcer. Luella Thomas is the secretary. She has her hands full with all those bachelors running around loose. Jim Ryan is one of their best announcers; heard a part of his news program and perhaps you'd be interested... ....Bill Keane, famous Chicago detective, is scheduled to speak to the Kiwanis Club on juvenile delinquency. Bill had become a second Fearless Fosdick and had really cleaned Chicago up with the help of his able secretary Patty Peters. Bob Spaniol and Bob Obermeyer have just won world wide fame for their revolutionary new invention. It is a combination truck and train. The IRUCKAIN has all the conveniences of a truck on the highway and also a train of the tracks. No doubt they will both be millionares in a few years as a result of their efforts. Now these announcements are just a few of his vronderful local news broadcasts. Oh, before I forget it I must call up the Kenney and Taylor Beauty Shop. If I'm going to Hallie's for dinner tomorrow evening I must look raj'- best. These two girls are running a large deluxe salon now, the best in Clinton. Well it is about time to get supper so I'll close for now. I hope you remember all the kids and how we laughed with them back in good ol' 1950---also, remember the water tower? You know that still is a mystery around here???????? Classmate of 19f 0 ’ f Reeding from left to right: First Row: N. Owens, B. Allen, R. VanOrman, C. Dillow, C. Shaw, E. Torbert,J.Hoge, V.

All band members were required to wear black shoes and maroon socks complete the uniform, ■which consisted of sandy-gray pants with a geld stripe down the side, a maroon coat with gold trim, and a maroon cap similar to those worn by army officers. The coats were of the suit coat type; not like those closed neck type of the old uniforms. A gold tie set the uniform off to its best advantage. The band marched at all the football games, adding the splash of color to the games that only a marching band can add. The Normal band put on an excellent show to help celebrate our homecoming. During the basketball season the band appeared without uniforms as the old uniforms had been sold and the new ones had not yet arrived. The music for these games was superior to that of previous years as the band devoted quite a few rehersals to the music played at the games. As always, contest was the dominating event during the second semester. At the district contest in Paxton the band received a first division rating to advance to the state contest at Taylorville. There they received a second division rating. Peggy Reynolds was the only one to receive a first division rating at Taylorville, all the others getting seconds or thirds. At Paxton the music department took the sweep-stakes award. The mixed chorus worked hard during the year and 'were rewarded with a first division rating at Paxton. At Taylorville they received a second division rating. The boys and girls glee clubs both got second division ratings at Paxton. On the whole the music contests were much tougher than in previous years, the judging being quite definitely on a higher plain than formerly. If the music groups of coming years are to continue to win first division award at contests the members are going to have to work much harder during rehearsal periods, and the band members will have to do considerable outside practicing. Together the band and choral groups gave two concerts—a spring concert and a concert in Gibson City to help them raise money for their new uniforms. The choral groups put on a program of Christmas music the Monday before Christmas. Looking over the entire year it seems to have been a successful year for all the music groups. It was Mr. Robertson's first year as vocal instructor and he did excellent work in that department. First Row: Miss Fort, Goin-Rec., Burns-Sec., Wisegarver-Pres., Spitzer-Treas., Craig, Miss Rainey.

At the end of the season Clinton had won only two while losing seven. The campaign opened at Gibson City vdth Clinton taking it on the chin. End John TTestray caught two sensational passes for our only touchdowns. Final score: 19 to 13. In our first three home games we were held scoreless. Lincoln stopped us cold by winning ll; to 0. Clinton gave undefeated U. High one of their closest games of the year before bov.dng 12 to 0, After spotting the Saints 13 points, Clinton came back strong to upset Trinity 20 to 13 for our first victory of the year. Rain, mud, and Monticello spoiled our Annual Homecoming game. It v as a very hard-fought contest with Clinton coming out on the short end of a 12 to 7 score. In our two Central Conference games we broke even by beating Jacksonville 13 to 0 and losing to Feitshans 25 to 6. In the last game of the year Clinton went all out to uDset pontiac but were beaten in the closing minutes of the game 26 to 20. Herb North was choosen most valuable player of the year with Steve Smith getting the Honorary Captain Award. Clinton fans were a little doubtful as to the outcome of the 19U9-50 basketball season when practice started. Bill Kent was the only letterman back from last year's squad. Coach Frank Leach had the job of rebuilding the whole team. The varsity varied in the height from 5 foot 9 inch Joe Patterson to 6 foot 3 inch Gene Rude. The records for the b9-5 0 season show that Clinton won 19 of their 29 games for .655 percentage. The Maroons broke even in 6 games vdth Big 12 representatives. The: won the Central Conference Championship by winning all six conference games and tied for fourth in the Com Belt Conference. The Maroons v on their own Regional by beating LeRoy, a hard fighting Trinity team, and a smooth ball handling Farmer City five. In the first game of the Sectional we beat Springfield High but we re defeated by a very good Taylorville team. Harvin Cook was elected most valuable olayer of the year and Bill Kent was chosen Honorary Captain.
