E Senior Class History Early one September morning in 194-Z, twenty green little Freshies entered the door of Green Valley Community High School. Since that time many changes have been made, both in the number of students and the students themselves. The first to leave our class was Dick Larimore, who didn't finish the first semester. Donald Bisselle finished the semester and then dropped out. Doris Null, Arthur Schimmel- phfenning and Robert Craig were not seen back at school at the beginning of our Sophomore year. A new face was seen though. It was that of Melvin Rademacker who came to us from San Jose High School. Robert Heren started his schooling at G. V. H. S. at the beginning of the second semester of our Sophomore year. His first year and half had been spent at Pekin High School. When we came back for our junior year two more faces had disappeared. They were Geo- rge Larimore and Robert Zimmerman. That made fifteen Juniors. When our Senior year arr- ived, we still had fifteen, but Ruth Harris had moved away and Bonnie Scott took her place. Ruth is finishing in Delavan and Bonnie came from Washington, Illinois. Virginia Drake and Thurza Forbes came back this year the first semester and will graduate with our class. This makes seventeen Seniors.

When we landed on the world, we deci- ded to stop in our used to be home town, which was Green Valley. When we arrived we were very much surprised to find that we had landed on the platform in front of Orv. Meeker's Hampshire hog barns instead of the airport. We talked to him awhile, then decided to travel on toward Green Valley. On the way we passed Mel Rademacker's chicken ranch, and also Roy Shay's 500 acre watermelon farm. After a- five hour trip we reached the suburbs of Green Valley. When we arrived in Green Valley we decided to see what old G. V. H. S. looked like and of course the first room we came to, was the English room. Who should we see, but Lois Ary trying to teach the Senior Class which had an enrollment of 384 pupils. After saying good-bye to Lois, we went to what use to be our gym, only to find a monsterous swim- ming pool with Deloras Dickerson as the Athletic teacher. She was trying to teach one of the girls how to do the Swan Dive. Then we went to the Music room and there we saw Mary Sch- ureman beating out Boogie Woogie to one of her talented students. After resting for a while we decided to follow the aroma which we smelled, only to find it led to the G. V. High Labatory where Barbara Duncanson was mixing a formula of HZS. Then we left the High School and stopped at a house to inquire about where we could find a place to eat. Who should answer the door, but Virginia Drake. We talked to Virginia awhile and found out that Thurza Forbes was also a housewife and was living next door to her. Upon reaching the business district we found Bob Heren as the top accountant in the busi- ness firm Heren 8: Heren and Co. Who should we find as his private secretary but Marga- ret Wopdrow and her private Secretary Dorothy Pfeiffer. As night was drawing near we deci- ded to stop for the evening at the Ideal Hotel. When we awoke we found that a day had passed and it was now Sunday and time to go to Church. When we went to pay our bill who should we see but Bernadine Weyhrich as the private secretary for the owner of the hotel. We asked her if there was a church anywhere around and she told us where we could find one. When we arr- ived, to our great surprise we found Rev. Lewis and in the Reverend's Mansion we found Ada Goeken as his assistant, who typed up all his sermons for him. After church it was time to catch our rocket plane, so we started off. When we arrived at the plane, we were surrounded by photographers and the ace of all photographer who was Paul Schlyer. Upon saying good- bye to Paul, we left good old Green Valley, Illinois.

Later in the year, Carl Hamilton was chosen Freshman Student Council Representative. The Library, Glee Clubs, G.A.A., and other school activities were benef- ited by the Freshmen.

Our record for the year shows in the Mackinaw Valley League six games won and six lost. In the Tazma League our record was eleven games won and thirteen lost. The outlook for the next year is bright with three lettermen returning,joe Bussone, Ike Baysinger, and Bob Sloter. Ory Meeker, Bob Heren, and Mel Rademacker were seniors and won't be here next year. Among the reserves the future should find the sophomores, Orrie Woodruff, james Ary, john Goeken, Floyd Meeker and Ray Winner playing their part in G. V. Basketball services. The freshrnen class offered these boys as regulars on this years second team: Carl Hamilton, Roy Dickerson, Bud Schureman, Rudy Vetter, andjam- es Bowlby. Regular at practice during the season, and possible future playe- rs were Dick Chitwood, Earl Hamann, Marion Scott, Bob Diess, Donald Hoe- ft, Duane Heren, and Lewis Hamann. The team was sparked during the season by our cute, peppy, and ambiti- ous cheerleaders, Mary Schureman, Fonda Lahman, and Deloras Dickerson. You'1l find them in that order in their picture. They were present at every game, and their peppy antics made as' valua- ble a contribution to the game as did their appearance in their green jumpers and white blouses. Our Managers, Russel Crosby, and Roy Shay, earned letters by their services to the team and coach. We also appreciate the services of those who kept score for us at various times and places, of the time keeper, Fred Stouthammer, and of those who regularly offered their cars to transport us to the games.

OUR LETTERMEN Orv Meeker, Senior forward and 2 letterman lead the team in scoring and rebounded consistently. Orv was our'most dependable point getter, and a reliable guard. Buck Sloter, a junior guard and Z letterman, combined driving dribble with a left hand push shot that usually led to 2 points or 2 free throws. Mel Rademacker, our Senior center and a 2 letterman. came in very handy on offensive and defensive rebounding. On his hot nights, he seemed to hit from everywhere with his one hand flip shot. joe Bussone, a Junior guard and 3 letter winner, always could be depended upon to do our long shooting and to advance the ball. joe was a rugged defensive player and at times had much offensive drives. Ike'Baysinger , a. junior forward and Z 1etterman,was a rugged player especially when he got hold of the ball. His scrap and determination will come in handy next year as a pivot man. Bob Heren, A Senior, played guard or forward as was necessary and more than earned his first basketball letter by his dependability in the pinches Green Valley 51 Green Valley 33 Green Valley 35 Green Valley 2.2 Green Valley 30 Green Valley 43 Green Valley 30 Green Valley 30 Green Valley 42 ---Manito 27 ---Tremont 36 ---Morton 40 Green Valley 59- ---Minier 40 --Mackinaw 30 Green Valley 41 Green Valley 34 --San jose 52 --Minier 53 --Manito 20 Green Valley 2.6 Green Valley 48 --Hopedale 32 SAN JOSE INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT Green Valley 39--- Green Valley 27--- Green Valley 48--- Green Valley 52--- Green Valley 4l--- Delavan 36 Forrest City 50 Hopedale 36 Morton 2.6 Mackinaw Z8 Tremont 46 Delavan Z8 Forest City 54 San jose 45 San jose 60 Green Valley 49-Manito 30 13rd place, COUNTY TOURNAMENT Green Valley 41 fovertimej Mackinaw 45 DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Green Valley 62---Stanford 16 Green Valley 47---Deer Creek 34 Green Valley 39---Minier 53 1945 BASEBALL AVERAGES Name G.P.

I 1 joe , our pitcher, had good control and threw sharp curve. Ho was usually good for a strike-out when in a tight spot. has a year to go. Ike , was converted from the outfield to position as catcher. He filled the job well and will be back next year. Bob S., our first basexnanfor the third consecutive year, caught many 'bad throws. ' ' Carl, a freshrnan, covered second base. He led the batting average and looks promising for next year. , Marvin, who was a junior this year, filled the position of shortstop very well. Dale, who covered third base very well was noted for his fast throws to first. 7'Bob H.. who played in the outfield, was noted for his one-handed catc- hing of fly balls. Mel , was our utility man. He pitched in a practice game with San jose last spring and was selected to be our pitcher. Unfortunately he suffered an operation and was out of practice until late in the season. Burr , a very good outfielder, made many spectacular catches. Orv , who had been in the outfield four years, handled his position very well and caxnethrough with good stick work. D Orrie, a dependable substitute for the outfield, looks promising for the future.

I I I v Student Council Our Student Council was organized in 1937 to promote student-teacher cooperation, and to give the student a. part in preparing the student and school programs. The Council is made up of 4 Seniors, Z juniors, Z Sophomores, and l Freshman. Several parties were planned by the Student Council. We had a Halloween Party to which everyone came masked. Prizes were given for the best costume. The valentine party was another gala affair for the school. We played fifty and bingo and the latter part of the evening we spent dancing. A skating party and others were planned. Special assemblies were provided by the Student Council and the Christmas assembly was one of these. The decorating and planning for the all- school supper were planned by the council. This council also had a hand in other school activities and gave help wherever needed. The Student Council attended the State Convention held in Peoria this year. The officers were: - President ........... ..... M elvin Rademacker Vice-President .... ....

To help do this and to secure swimming privileges, the G.A. A. joined the Y. W.C.A. in Peoria. The G.A.A. also was represented at other G.A.A. activities in our area. The officers of our G.A.A. were: President .... Mary Schureman V. Pres ..... Deloras Dickerson Sec.-Treas..Margaret Ann Woodrow Advisor ......

I i I I i Gee Vee See The Gee Vee See is our small newspaper issued and published by the students every month. Much effort is put forth by Barbara D. on the mimeograph. Lois Lee as the Editor, and Evelyn Parr as the Assistant Editor. Arletta Schlyer also helped to print and distrib- ute the paper. Mr. Lindsey was the advisor and helped tn re-read for typing mistakes. Our newspaper kept the students posted on what was happening in school. It was also distributed around town so that the town people could keep well posted on our school affairs We sent our paper to other schools and received their papers in return. The following students made up the newspaper staff: Editor .............. Lois Ary Reporters ......... Betty S. Assistant EditorEvelyn Parr Barbara C- Printer ............ Arletta S. Deloras D.

Class Editors....Mary S. Green Lantern Bonnie S. The Green Lantern is a written and pictorial history of school life in G.V.H.S. for the current year. When one has looked at the pictures and read the articles one will have a very good idea of our school life. Like all year books, there is a certain quality behind the book and that quality is the staff. Oh! the troubles of each staff! Each Senior is given a definite job and has the responsibility of seeing that the job is well done. Glee Club The Glee Club had thirty-five members this year. The Boys' Glee Club had fifteen me- mbers, and the Girls' Glee Club had eighteen members. The girls and boys combined form the mixed chorus. The Glee Club attended the Music Festival at Pekin High on April 23, 1946. They put on an assembly program, sang for graduation and baccalaureate, and were available for entertainment outside of school. The following were the members of the Glee Club: SOPRANO Donna Aldrich Josephine Burns Pat Carr Thelma Knaak Fonda Lahman TENOR jim Bowlby Marlowe Clauser Russell Crosby Robert Deiss Duane Heren Donald Hoeft Delbert Ripper Bud Schureman Roy Shay joe Bussone Orville Meeker BASS Roy Dickerson Lewis Hamann Carl Hamilton Robert Heren Robert Sloter Ray Winner Roy Lewis ger Gladys Nannen Suzanne Shay Donna Woodward Pianists--Mary Schureman and Barbara Christie ---- Director---- Darlene Meisin- ALTO Barbara Christie Deloras Dickerson Phyllis Drake Shirley Drake Barbara Duncanson Wilma Lohnes Dorothy Pfeiffer Arletta Schlyer Mrs. Gilpin I i !
