This poem will serve to introduce us, So if you will listen, it reads as thus: First on our list is Betty Lou. Her eyes are blue and she s five foot two. A stenographer she wants to be, She does fine work and we're sure you agree. Our Homecoming King was Eddie. He's tall, rough and ready. Captain of our basketball team, With a girl named Norma is always seen. Next is a girl who likes to eat. Her name is Joyce and she's very sweet. She always has fun wher'er she may be. She likes to sing, but in no certain key. Joan is the blonde of our class. Homecoming Quee was this fair lass. Winner of the D. A. R. This gal is bound to go far. Bobby Joe is the joking kind. In his studies he s never behind. In football and track he really does rate. He's the one who was chosen to attend Boys Now this girl was in our Senior play, The part of a cook she did portray. Her name is Norma and she's really swell. In Girls' P. E. she does excel. Lois is tall and has a ring, Complete with a guy and everything. She s very sweet and likes to sew. She'll make Allan a good wife we know. Next we find a guy who is plain and simple. His name is Kenny and he has a big dlmple. He likes to play football and things like t h He loves to eat but he never gets fat. Magda is short and very small. She's quiet and well-liked by all. Bhe came to us from across the sea, And now she is as happy as can be. State at. Class Poem Next on the list is a girl named Rosella. In the play she was uChar11en but she wasn't Two years a cheerleader, she had lots of pep. In the field of music she is really nhepn. Clifford is better known as HBusn. I When it's time for joking he's no ndudu. In the Senior play you knew him as nMortn. He's lots of fun and a real good sport. Dorothy has brown eyes and pretty brown hair. In class work she does her share. The diamond she wears is really superb. We think she's swell and so does Herb. This girl is always in a dash. When she gets mad her eyes do flash! She likes to dance and really can. She's full of vitality and her name's Bruce is our class pest, For he never lets anyone rest. But you'll find as time goes by, That you've never met a nicer guy. We call Leuberta Hour efficient onen, For she always manages to have her work done She says she liked Spanish best. This she has chosen from all the rest. Victor came in his Junior year. He too likes to tease we fear. He's a handy man to have around. A nicer guy could n'er be found.

Georges STANDING: Miss Cramer Class History Being the only two to witness the entire rugged climb of the Class of 1952 up the Illiopolis Education Ladder, we, Rosella Ervin and Betty Munson, shall tell you about it as we remember. It seems like a long time since we placed our feet on the first rung of the ladder and looked starry eyed toward the top. If we seemed to get discouraged we would only look up to see the bright lights which seemed to spell 'Graduat1on', which we knew would mean so much to us. when we werein the sixth grade we were Joined by Robert Georges from Decatur, Clifford Walker from Taylorville, and Bruce Graham, who was transferred from Springtown, a small country school. Leuberta Tucker from Kincaid, and Eddie Meister from Mt. Pulaski, Joined us during our eighth grade. We then looked forward to that day in May when we reached the platform of the ladder where we received our elementary diplomas. There were nineteen of us who marched proudly out of the Methodist church with our diplomas in our hands. On September 1, l9U8, twenty-seven green and eager students entered the Illiopolls High School to represent thelreshmen class. On this day we met Kenneth Gordy from Niantic, Lois Bottrell from Lanesville, and Jo Anne Leckrone from Mechaniosburg. The ten of us, who will soon graduate from I. H. S., were ready to face our four years of high school together. As the general practice was, we were initiated by the Senior class. Our officers for this year were: President, Robert Georges, Vice President, Rosella Ervin: Secretary, Bruce Graham. In our Sophomore year we were Joined bydban Chwierut from Decatur and Dorothy Pagel from Monticello, and Joyce Rohrig from Oelwein, Iowa. Our President was Robert Georges, our Vice President was Rosella Ervin, .our Secretary was Rose Christian, and Lois Bottrell was our Treasurer. Norma'xooncz from Argsnta and Victor Dunham from Trl-City Joined us in our Junior year. Our officers were: President, Bruce Graham, Vice President, Roselle Ervin, Secretary, Joyce Rohrlgz and Treasurer. Clifford Walker. We plunged into a year or hard work and fun. We PPQBBHUBQ our Junior Class p y, 'The Mummy and the Mumps', on November 28 and 30. It proved to be a success. Our long awaited class rings arrived just before Christmas. Through the entire year we made preparations for the prom. It was hard work securing the money to provide an enjoyable eveningg butsveryone enjoyed our summer garden. Our Junior year suddenly came to an end and we found ourselves on the last rung of the ladder. As Wsophisticated Seniorsd, we elected Joan Chwierut as President, Kenneth Gcrdy asV1ce President, Rosella Ervin ss Secretary, and Robert Georges asfkeasurer We were pleased to add the last member of our class, Magda Osterhuber from Kufsteln, Austria. We immediately set out on our task of editing the yearbook, but we managed to find time from our work as staff members to present the Senior Class Play, WHere Comes Charl1e'. The year went by rapidly and almost before we realized it we had taken our trip to St. Louis, the Bacculaureate Services were over Senior Class Day is here and Graduation day is coming. Finally, after twelve years, we have completed the Education Ladder and now approach the platform of life. Even through our separate ways of life, we shall always remember our classmates and our school days. BM Class Day ,sl - ' NSINGING IN THE RAINU HUBBA HUBBA!! Prophecy It was the year 1979, and hundreds of people were seated around the tables in the large auditorium. The banquet, that quiet spring even1ng,was being held1J1honoroI'Robert Georges, who, after many long years of toll, had invented the Super Duper De Luxe Can Opener. Robert had gotten the idea for this can opener when hewas employed at Pr1tchett's Hardware Store, inthe early part ofhis youth. He worked and worked and final- ly perfected the now famous can opener. Robert was pleased to see a few of his former classmates among the many people. It was the first time he had seen them since their graduation in 1952, when they had separated and each had gone his own way. After the dinner, Robert went over to see his old buddy, Eddie Meister. Eddie told him that soon after graduation he joined the navy and saw the world. He, of course, had had a girl in every port but finally married the girl of his heart and settled down in Illiopolis, where he took up the job of remaking old Model T cars. Robert also learned from Eddie some of the Illlopolis news. He said that Betty Munson, since she had been such a good chemistry student in high school,had stayed on at I.H.S. as Mr. Shouse's assistant. Betty loves her job but she still can't stand the odor of Hydrogen Sulfide, otherwise known as rotten egg gas. Eddie then showed Robert some newspaper clippings that he had been saving. Eddie explained that Leuberta Tuoker's name had appeared in the paper many tlmesand each time it had been twins. The last clipping announced her fourth pair. In the article Robert read that she believed in the old saying UCheaper By the Dozen.n Another clipping announced the opening of a new restau- rant. Eddie explained that Leiman Jackson had sold his old tavern to Joannelmckrone. She had converted it into an ultra modern restaurant, and was now doing a booming business. Jo Anne was well known for miles around as the 'Hamburger Queen of the Middle west.U As Robert handed the clipping back to Eddie, he noticed a man walking toward him with a camera. The photographer was none other than Kenneth Gordy. Kenny explained that he had taken over the Hubbard Studio and that he had come to take a picture of the UCan Opener K1ng.' As Robert questioned him further, he found that Kenneth had expanded his business and now had studios all over the United States. After Robert'seyes had become adjusted from the glare of the flash bulbs he spotted another former classmate. With a broad smile, he crossed the room to Join Joan Chwierut. He learned that Joan was well known about the United States for her latest book,'How to Take Shorthand C300 words per minute! and Like It.n The book was only oneof'hergreatest accomplish- ments,for she also had started and is now managing a business college in the West. Joan told Robert about her dear friend, Rosella Ervin. It seems that Roselle studied many long, hard, years on her voice. She was doing fairly well professionally when along came her present husband--her voice was forgotten. However, she began to use her wind in a more useful way. She and her husband took up glass blowing and were presently employed at the Atomic Energy Plant in Tennessee. Joan also told Robert that the former Dorothy Pagel and Lois Bottrell, were both married soon after graduation, and now lived side by side in Illiopolis. Nothing had changed in their friendship--except the conversation. Ithad changed from clothes and boys, to housework and babies. Prophecy Robert looked up as someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to seea trim distinguished looking man who said his namewae Victor Dunham. Robert was pleasedto learn that Victor was still at DeKalb with the chickens. so many times that he was now Chief Egg plant. Robert was very surprised to learn famous 'Hot Rod Harry,' was none other had nsouped up' his old 1941 Chevrolet and made millions on the speedways. Robert learned that Magda Osterhuber went on to college after graduating, where whe again graduated with high honors in art. She was a big success while teaching in high school and seemed to enjoy it very much. Since Victor was working at DeKalb, he heard all the gossip and could keep track of all his friends. Why just the other day he had learned that Norma Koontz was working side by side He had been promoted Carrier of the whole from Victor that the than Bud Walker. He with her husband in Japan. Norma had joined the Wacs and gone to Japan shortly after graduation, and had been there ever since. The guests were then summoned to thelr seats, for the evenings entertainment was about to begin. The biggest sur- prise of the evening for Robert was when Bruce Graham stepped of stage, screen, radio out on the stage. He was a famous comedian, known from coast to coast for his very funny Jokes. It was a shock for Robert to hear once aga1n,al1 the corny Jokes that were told back in high school. but he laughed at them as he never had before. Next on the program was Miss Joyce Rohrlg, s1ng1ng star and television. Joyce first got her start from Horace Heldt was an unusual star for could sing 'Mule Train' At the conclusion make a speech. He told his success to the earl For there he had spent memories of those days could forget the best y and worked her way to the top. Joyce she was a stand-in for Cass Daley and even better than Frankie Laine. of the program, Robert was asked to the large audience that he attributed y training he had received at I. H. S. many happy hours. He added that the would be lasting ones because no one ears of his life.

Some will approach it boldly, attack new problems, solve them as they found answers in school and win the laurels of success. This new horizon offers a challenge to clear thinking and a willingness to work, hard. Success is a wily creature, you can't win her with promisesg performance is all that counts. She does not expect the lmpossiblebut glorifies those who achieve it. She fits each candidate,fbr her affections, into the niche he indicates. Reach for her crown, then work, plan, think, dedicate yourself to win that place you have chosen. You can win it--if you will. Accept the challenge. Resolve to accept temporary defeat as pro- gress to the bigger goal--success. The successful man sets a goal, then reaches it slowly, one step at a time with unswerving loyalty to himself and his cause. There is no other way but that.
