HISTORY OF FLAMING HEARTS Have you ever wondered where the name Flaming Hearts originated? The SIGNET staff did and pro- ceeded to find out, This is what we found, Since the Chamber of Commerce designated Effingham, Illinois, as the Heart of the U,S,A, it was appropriate to call the team Hearts, The name Flaming was added later in 1935 when the efficient Coach Harpstreit was having a very good season. It was in this year the team received new lettermen's jackets of moss green with a red heart, The team also had a large blanket to cover the bench in like colors and in the center of this blanket was a huge heart with rays shooting from the heart, A newspaper reporter, seeing the design which reminded him of a flaming heart, and with the team being such a good one that year, referred to them as Flaming Hearts. The name caught on and was soon adopted by everyone, 1956 VARSITY FOOTBALL SCORES Effingham Effingham Effingham Effingham Effingham Effingham Effingham Effingham Effingham Vandalia Shelbyville Hillsboro Charleston Paris St, Elmo Newton Flora Casey 'X 5b 9- T X First row: Manager Gerald Van Dyke, Ronnie Brown, Richard Wooley, Frank Davis, Larry Pagel, Bill McCarty Gary Poynter, Norman Dickey, Manager Larry Allen.
