WISNER MARVADHIN WOODS SENIOR GLASS lli'lllllS6I4DlR6I In the fall of "49" ninety-four happy seniors walked through the doors of old E. C. H. S., and as we did, We breathed that sigh of relief "We're almost out." After we got to know our fellow classmates at a get-acquainted party in the gym, we elected our class officers as follows: Don Couch, West Salem ....................................... ,.............. P resident Larry Searby, Browns ........................ ............,...... V ice-President Eleanor Johnson, West Salem ............... Secretary-Treasurer Our unfortunate class sponsors were Miss Chism and Mr. Hart. From this class Coach Hortin received the help of fifteen fellows in football: and Coach Hart the help of eight fellows in basketball. Judging from the results of the season, they must have been good help. Patsy Cooper represented the class as one of the cheerleaders, and added much enthusiasm and color to the year of sports. As a goal for our senior and succeeding years, we chose the phrase, "Find a way or make one." With this motto as the background for our studies as well as pleasure most of us settled down to work to find a way. We selected as our class flower, the white carnation, and class colors, blue and gold. Under the direction of George Engelman our class presented the play, "Angel of Red Canyon." We realize that these four years have been the happiest of our lives. As we walk out the doors of E. C. H. S., we hope we are ready for that career. O llb.ksGir Wim.

WITNESSES: CSEALJ CLASS OF 1950 Dorothy Ann Parks Norma Lawson SlIE5lNlllllDllR UMASS lll23llRlDlDlIlillllE54Ef'M The noted speed-demon, Frank Berg, was injured Oct. 24, 1960 While driving in the Mt. Carmel Speedway classics. He was rushed to the hospital at Mt. Carmel by an old classmate, Charles King, who is an ambulance driver and undertaker for the mortuary at Browns, Illinois. There he was taken in charge by a lovely young nurse, who turned out to be Patricia Cooper, another classmate. During the many weeks of convalescence, he learned many interesting things about his old friends of 1950. John Spray, who is in charge of the free movies at Parkersburg was his first visitor, and the hour fa.irly flew as he recounted that: Prof. Raymond Cnever-be-late-to-classl Ward is'now teaching American History in E. C. H. S., taking the place of the retired Virgil Hortin. Jean Uttecht is owner and manager of Osh-Kosh-B'gosh Blue Jean Factory. And remember Mary Jo Ann Orr? VVell, she is busily campaigning for Presidency of the "Be Kind to Short Folks" organization. Her campaign manager is Gerald "Goodnight" Hinman. Keith Elliott has just organized a swing band and he is to make his opening appearance at the Avalon in Mt. Carmel next week with his featured vocalist, Fred "Sinatra" Keener. ' Lois Ewing has recently received the Oscar for being the nation's top dramatic actress of the year. Mary Ann Farmer is a farmer's wife living with in-laws and raising eight kids. Fred Fawkes is proprietor of Shaw's Store assisted by Vanita. Jack Gubbins, head of a chain of theaters in Southern Illinois, has promised the public a better grade of pictures in the near future. Our speech whiz, Gene Hockemeyer, is a famed photographer now, but spends most of his time taking pictures of his favorite subject. fVeda is very photogenic.J And say, did you know that Ronald James succeeded Henry Ford as President of the Ford Motor Company in 1958? Gail Colyer is teaching bookkeeping at Old Edwards High. ' Harold Cooper, owner of the Evansville Press, is still trying to raise the paper boys' wages. Eu Don Couch is owner and operator of the new grain elevator in ery. Af Don Cullison has been gone three years coon hunting in deep dark rica. . SJEBNTDJR UMASS llll9RiDlll3HllE5ll3CM Norma Cullison, no relation to Donald, is employed as one of Billy Rose's Chorus girls. Focus your eyes on the gal third from the left end. Dow Davenport was crowned Snooker Champion of the World in the finals held in Australia last year. He's doing better than we thought he would. Junior Coale was crowned Corn King of the United States. Ruth Mann and Pauline VValker have taken the place of Harry Ile as Chief Cook and Bottle Washer at E. C. H. S. Cafeteria. Joyce Knust is the featured singer with Tommy Dorsey's band at Club 20 in New York. Larry Searby, a bartender, has been fired from Archie Green's tavern for being late for his job. After this bit of juicy gossip Patricia, the aforementioned nurse, glided into the room, and interrupted the conversation by sticking a thermometer into the mouth of John Spray. Oh, excuse me, wrong mouth. But anyway, Frank had heard enough for a little while. Must get him up and about before this is all over.

Mr. Foster molded the players as a sculptor would mold clay into such shape that many soloists and groups were able to compete in the state contest finals early this spring. The band enjoyed many outings as did select groups from it. Some of these were as follows: All State Band, Grayville football game, Wood- wind clinic at Charleston, and an exchange concert with Fairfield. During the year we played at every home basketball and football game and gave three concerts. We helped out on several radio broad- casts and as I have mentioned before, took part in the district and state contest. 4ElEll4DllRlllIS This year the Edwards County Senior High had a chorus of thirty- five members who were under the' direction of Mrs. Thelma Troutt. During the year our group took part in the Christmas Concert and the Spring Music Festival.

STUDENT COUNCIL REPORT 4 The Student Council was organized in 1947-48 in this school by P. F. Pool, who was then Principal. Bob Green was the first president. The purpose of the Student Council is to give the students a chance to say what they like or don't like about school policies. It regulates the activities of the various school organizations and tries to promote worthy ideals of scholarship, citizenship, and sportsmanship. Our Student Council is a member of the Illinois Association of Student Councils and also of the National Association of Student Councils. Each year, if the Student Council has enough money, they send representatives to District Conventions and to State Conventions. They do this to get new ideas about school government. Last year Keith Elliott was vice-president of our district. . Present officers of the Student Council are Jack Gubbins, Presi- dentg Gene Hockemeyer, Vice-Presidentg and Suzanne Simms, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Mr. Fehrenbacher, Principal, is our sponsor. ANNUAL STAFF , This year we had the largest class ever to graduate from this high school. From this an annual staff was formed and put under the direction of Miss Chism and Mr. Hart. The co-operation of the mem- bers of the senior class outside of the annual staff greatly reduced the load placed upon it. ' Great pains were taken to see that all parts of the county were well represented on the staff. This produced an efficient group. The photography was in the hands of Mr. Leveque, the printing Mr. Gerlach, and the binding by Mr. Speith. THE SPECTATOR STAFF U During the school year 1949-50', the Spectator staff has attempted to publish a monthly newspaper, carrying a balance of news and interest features. Reports from the various population centers of the county were included, and the editor and his staff did all in their power to provide the students of the school with as complete a cover- age of newsworthy items as was possible. l The editor was held almost entirely responsible for the production of the paper. The two sponsors acted as advisors only, and checked for propriety of news as Well as overseeing the typing of copy. Under the direction of the student editor were such student workers as the assistant editor, exchange editor, the class and community reporters and feature writers. These students determined the publishing dates, size and make-up of the paper and items to be included. Very rarely did sponsors or faculty members usurp the prerogatives of this student group. F. H. A. N This year the F. H. A. was blessed with fourteen new members which raised the total to sixteen. The election returns showed that President of the club was Joyce McKinney, Vice-President, Becky Leighg Secretary, Maxine Scottg Treasurer, Joretta Shawg Reporter, LeAnn Threadg Parliamentarian, Marjorie Ilesg Historian, Carlyn Palfreemang Song Leader, Hester Fawkesg and Chapter Mother, Mrs. Jerauld Iles. These were all under the direction of Miss Jones as sponsor. Different girls from the organization have attended various F. H. A. district meetings. The organization sponsored the Christmas Dance which was held for the student body and a few outside guests. We attended the Spring Rally which was held at Eldorado. Our group had charge of the style show which was in the afternoon. F. F. A. The Future Farmers of America is a National organization of farm boys enrolled in Agriculture in high school. The first organization was established in the United States in 1917. Membership is limited strictly to farm boys enrolled in Agri-' culture. When the local chapter was organized in October, 1946, there were twenty-six members in our F. F. A. Club. Active membership in the F. F. A. today is thirty-seven. ' The officers elected for '49 and '50 were as follows: Jack Reid .......................................................................................... President Dick Simms ........,..................................................,............ Vice-President Nile Balding ......... ................ S ecretary Kemp Bunting ......... ,.,......,. T reasurer Bob Mason ........... ........ R eporter Bill Eblin ........ ..................................... ..,....... S e ntinel G. A. A. The present Girls' Athletic Association was organized at Edwards County Senior High in 1948, under the direction of Miss Luanna Gould. The purpose is to promote interest in girls physical education, games, health, and sportsmanship. Awards, which include the school ietter With G. A. A. on it, are given.

W 41013 000 Q , fl A,j,xJ PEP CLUB Since the reorganization of the Pep Club this year we have set up a charter containing our policies, requirements, and ideals. This has not been put into complete effect due to the lack of time left in the school year since its adoption, but next year we hope to have it in good working order. Our sponsors for the past year have been Miss Luanna Gould and Mr. Richard Foster. The Pep Club officers were as follows: President .........................................................,.......................... Betty Brake Vice-President .......... ....... N ancy Davisson Secretary ................................................................................. Pat McDowell Treasurer ................................................................................. Keith Elliott We feel that our greatest accomplishment this year has been the interest aroused in the cheering section and the better development of the students' school spirit. CHEERLEADERS Our cheering section under the able direction of three bundles of energy known as Wanda Coale, Pat Cooper, and Shirley Rister, was one of the best in years. These girls showed to the public the fire and enthusiasm behind the athletic fetes of the year. The entire school is grateful for the interest shown and created by these girls, and especially the sportsmanship they displayed throughout the year. GIRL'S COUNCIL The Girls' Council was organized by the Dean of Girls who felt that it was impossible for her alone to know all the needs of the girls of the school. The members of the Council, chosen by the girls of each attendance area, help the Dean further the welfare of the girls of this school. Lois Ewing ......... Hester Fawkes Norma Lawson ......

Browns Bone Gap Albion West Salem Ellery Dean of Girls FOOTBALL Football at Edwards High continued on the trend of improvement started by the unification of the Edwards County Schools. The Lions played heads-up football winning five and losing three. The function of the team at times was not up to early season performance but with view to attendance, increased by the new lighting system, and by the thrilling brand of football, the season was the most successful in the history of the school. The season was brightened by individual flashes of talent, Coach Hortin will miss many of these boys next year. BASKETBALL The 1949-50 season of the Edwards County Senior High School Lions turned out to be one of the most successful in several years in view of the won and lost record. The Lions won twenty-three games and lost only five which included taking the Little Ten Conference title. The season, although scarred by a few defeats, was marked by outstanding basketball, and good sportsmanship. It was an example of unusual talent molded into a smooth working body under expert hands. The players were honored at the annual basketball and football banquet. A hard season should have such a reward. FOOTBALL Row Four-Lester Smith, Charles Tribe, Managers.
