Nl HS students find hzlg changes as SCHOOL construrtion BEGINS Students rereired their first hint of the rhanges to rome when they arrived the first morning to find wooden ramps instead of the old entrance steps. They were fusrinated by the holes dug in the lawn. 5-as NX By spring the Mendota High School campus presented an entirely digerent appearance, To the south, the new three-story addition for offices, study hall, and classrooms was nearing completion. On the east. there was a new entrance and fire-proof stairway to all three floors. Last, but not least, spring sau' the new gym and shops begin to rise and take form. hieanwhile, inside reconstruction had started with con- version of the old gym. f if y 2, 3 I 'ma'- 3 9'-.. as f i '?'Q31YW'z'r-A True lo Jredirlion, the Asian flu struck Mendota High and the rommunity. Ahsenteeism was among holh stu ents and fafulty, and returning students stood in line the full length of the hall to get ad- mit slips. Then came the fun of making up assignments missed! The winter of 1957-58 will he remembered as the year of the blizzard that hlofked roads and marooned husloads of students for hours. Even around the high sthool huilding, drivers had to fall for help to get away from drifted vurhs. Remernher, too, the temperatures that fell as low as twenty helow zero in Fehruary? 2 , 5 H' W4 vb. .6 Aw er, i A Q ' ' M ' .'.::,:':5?:i-.. .W 2 Q ,. 4 f 1 M . -, ,Q W' -w l' We worked to the melodic rhythm 0 comtruction nozlfef WE ALL KNOW we come to school for construction of the mind, but there are other things besides books which help us. The memories of the many usual and un- usual happenings adcl up to a year of lots of fun. As we leave our school, we will remem- ber how it looked just as we remember many of our old songs. As the years go by, the style in music will change and become as different as our school is becoming. As we sat in class and listened to the noises of the construction, we were reminded of many songs of today such as Buzz, Buzz, Buzz , Bip it Up , and l Hear You Knoclcinu. ln the same way, many songs remind us of our fun during the year. Summertime was over, and it was time for School Days again. lust Between You and Me , the Four Walls seemed to be closer together than ever before as we Help- lessly tried to Stroll through the crowded halls, Tell Me How the freshmen could get seated before the bells rang. lust Bef cause the time was so short was no reason to send me to the office for a late slip, We all rushed to be First in Line and wanted everyone to Start Moving be- cause this year there was no Cuttin' In the lunch line. Blue Mondays arrived After School lost its newness. We bright- ened up at the prospects ot our first big dance, Shangri-La . We could hardly Wait and See if We would Win over our substitute Homecoming opponents. l'm Going Home was the most used expression as the flu epidemic spread around the school, Such a Shame it wasn't a White Christmas , but the snow really fell afterwards and ruined many high hopes of good times during our vacation.

They have ottered competent instruction, interested and helpful guidance in our school activities and in our plans tor the future. All ot these plans are very important because they have been tormed by people who have the necessary experience and education. But it is up to the individual student, the builder, to recognize their importance and make the best possible use ot them that he can. A panel of high srbool seniors and rollege students disruss some of the ffroblems to be fated by those entering college. . Prire and the lurulty are ever vigilant to find ways they may better help such students to prepare themselves. 1 X X X. x ullltm A 1 l in WNW j X I' Ai' ff 7' l SW, 514. S .

Price Superintendent SCHOQI. BOARD THE STATE OF ILLINOIS has delegated the respon- sibility for providing high school education in Mendota to the School Board. Recognizing that the future of our nation rests with those students who are now in school, the Board pro- vided us with modern equipment as Well as a top rate faculty. This year they were mainly concerned with con- struction plans. Since all final decisions rested with them, many hours were spent poring over blueprints before any building could even begin. On top of this already heavy burden, the general duties and functions still had to be carried out. Decisions here ranged from deciding teachers' salaries to planning the calendar, These men are to be commended for get- ting fine results from a vital but often tedious job.

G'mdu.1lr' ffwvf, l.IIIjl4l'fflA1 nf Iffilmii - AS BUSINESS BANAGER for both the Board and the high school, Mr. Carroll emerged as a key figure in the building program. Since he acted as a go-between for the Board and construction workmen, he deserves much credit for the co-operation that existed. T hey Plan for progrefr ,swim l 1. W. PRICE Superintendent of Schools High School Principal B.S, Ed., M.S. Ed., adwvzred graduate work, Unirerfity of Illinoiy Mr. Price became familiar to the Men- dota school system on Iuly 1, 1955, when he took over as Superintendent of Schools. Having formerly held the position of superintendent at Farmer City, Illinois, he was well qualified to assume the tre- mendous job of supervising four grade schools and one high school in the Men- dota area. Much of his time is devoted to our high school, where he is now faced with building and remodeling problems as Well as the variou s administrative duties. Mr. Price's constant goal has been the improvement of the instructional programg his big dream-to see Men- dota have the finest possible school sys- tem, from kindergarten through high school.

Mr. Doenier, as well as being Mr. Price's right hand man, teaches biology, ad- vises the senior class Ca big job in itseltl, and is the athletic director and dean of boys. Aside from his regular teaching and office duties, Mr. Doenier spends much of his time with the students, chaperoning dances and buses, counseling juniors and seniors, and supervising athletic events. HAZEL PAYNE Guidance Director, Dean of Girls B.S. lfd.. U11i1'w1ri!y of 111211021 Miss Payne also devotes much of her time to the individual student. Seniors learn to appre- ciate her valuable assistance in choosing a college or career. Freshmen and sophomores, foo, find her a great help in planning their class schedules for the coming years. When she is not in the office, Miss Payne can be found teaching one of her college preparatory English classes or, perhaps, at a senior class meeting. and ejjicienr OFFICE GIRLS OFFICE SECRETARIES Carole lohnson, Marvene Walton, Patti l-leininger The office girls are the indispensable secref taries Without whom the machinery of the ad- ministration could not run smoothly. Carole, Marvene, and Patti do a little of everything in their job. Aside from being the general receptionists, they Cto list only a fewl handle all correspondence, order the supplies, pay the bills, do any typing that is needed, answer the telephones, and keep the records up to date. The patzknt FACULTY taught over all the comtruction nozlref UNDER THE PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP of the ad- ministration, our educational program has continued to grow at a rapid pace. The Board and Mr. Price made considerable effort to obtain and keep a faculty having high qualifications and teaching standards. While all our teachers have their bachelor's degree, approximately half of them also hold their master's degree. In order to meet the ever-changing demands of a mod- ern curriculum, each member of the faculty belonged to one of eight committees. At their various meetings, dis- cussions were held on such topics as reports to parents, Career Day, scholastic achievement, industrial education and agriculture, social studies, financing classes and or- ganizations, English, and science. Adult evening classes were held again this year. These sessions, taught by the high school instructors, covered the fields of agriculture, home economics, and typing. Often our teachers took time out from grading tests to work at basketball, football, and track games or to chap- erone at dances. Many of them devoted valuable hours to class and club meetings. The Faculty Council, relatively new at MHS, is a group of teachers elected to serve as intermediaries for the faculty and the administration. Three teachers served in this capacity this year. Although six new teachers joined the staff in Septem- ber, the total number remained, as last year, at twenty- eight. Their home towns ranged from Portland, Oregon, to New York City, and from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Kirksville, Missouri, Members of the Faculty Council for 1957-1958 are Lloyd Doeniei, Assistant Principal, Maude Strauss I. W. Price, Principal, Ioyce Gilbert, and Stephen Warren ! 9 HARRY F. KIRCHNER , , . . , . l1.5.l1d.. ALS.

For the students with college in mind we offer gen- I17 eral colle e re arator coursesfchemistr , En lish, e Latin, algegbraphisliory, ahd so forth. Y Q Those who are not college bound can find interest- ing classes to prepare them for a future in the business Ouy' ivorld. Some of these are typing, shorthand, and book- eeping. Boys are especially attracted to diversified occupa- tions in which they receive on-the-job training and build- cu ing trades where they actually build a house. Several significant changes were made in the cur- riculum this year. For the first time all English and math u M students were placed into classes according to their abil- ity to absorb new material. This proved to be a more satisfactory method of enabling each student to work at his capacity without being hindered by those who work faster or slower. In the social science field, the family living classes were divided into separate classes for girls and boys. ' Two new types of classes were also offered. Seniors interested in world affairs can now take problems of democracy. Those students more inclined toward art . . work can take an extra-curricular course in that subject. bu This group meets two times a week instead of the usual our 1 five. When the new buildings are completed, more courses will correspondingly be added. Home economics girls got in the holiday spirit by making fancy Christmas candles. .- an-I . fr I. .Jury W' J, X!! ll 'lfimewz .-slriicmle with Arnrrlyli 7 l'i '-Q, kv' difficult spelling rcil thinkinq is developed in solid geometry DC boys not clcmfsrooiii iri- strucliori fir: well as ori-the-job lrfxinmq l3roblo1i1.s Ol VIQINOCTCICY stu- flsrrils disc-iss 'riviw ririfl nutioricil govemmeeiits 4JOfIO'lDUll1TY building is stressed iii college prep Eriuliali 'Ulm -- Y ...,, Students are prepared for cr future in the business world 'vig It St' Freshmen slave ever algebraic equations Home ec girls enlarge their wardrobes as they learn to sew 4 l ' - it ' W P Ag boys raise livestock tor their Q. wiv. - Q W protects 2 ,B -MW...

THE LONG AWAITED DAY of graduation has finally arrived. Yet, as we prepare to leave, we cannot help but take one backward glance at all the memories we have of our past four years, In a way, it seems like such a long time since we were eager freshmen that many of our In yedrf memories have grown dim. Yet we can remember some things very vividly. The student council officially welcomed and intro- duced us to high school life on our Orientation Day. Since some of our class had spent their eighth grade year at the high school, they were not so awed by the wonders of hi h school life. The first thiiig that we did was to elect our class offi- cers. Marty Huss, our president, Hal Goebel and Ron Classon, our co-vice-presidents, and Ioe Clark, our sec- ' retary-treasurer, with the aid of our advisors, led us very ably through our freshman year. At this time we also elected our student council representatives, and two of - them, Tom Iacob and Cheryl Brown, now serve as presi- dent and vice-president respectively. Our class was a very active one. The boys participated in the various athletic events, FFA, and many other ex- H tracurricular activities during the four years. For the girls there were band, chorus, FHA, and GAA. Of course, we can't forget our magazine sales, and, as typical fresh- . . men, we did a fairly good job. After an all too short summer vacation, we began our sophomore year by electing our class officers. Marty I-Iuss was re-elected as president, Mina Iackson became our vice-president, and Ann Lipke served as secretary- treasurer, SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS AND ADVISORS STANDING Mina Iackson, Secretary-Treasurer, Miss Payne, Miss Breeseg Ron Classon, Vice-President, SEATED: Mrs. Doenier, Mr, Doenierg Mr. Murdock, Herb Gosliri, President, AESENT: Miss Supan Four seniors - jim Lines, Ann Lipke, Diane Schultz, and jim Corrigan - slave over their first term papers. The first big event of our sophomore year was the appointment of a ring committee, Aft- er a little campaigning on the part of the boys, the ring style was finally chosen. Our salesmanship ability showed improve- ment by the number of magazine sales we made, This year also marked the beginning of the after-game dances, Several of these dances helped net some additional cash toward the Prom which We were to give the following year, The biggest event, as in all sophomore years, was the annual biology trip to Chicago. After a late start, we finally reached our destination where we visited Midway Airport, the Museum of Science and lndustry, the Museum of Na- tural History, and the Aquarium, ln the fall of '56 we returned for our first year as upperclassmen. To guide us in the big undertakings of our class play and Prom, we chose Marty Huss as president, Elson Buettner as vice-president, and Patti Booth as secretary- treasurer. A new organization, the FTA, was started this year and many of our class members who plan to become teachers joined it. Our junior class play, The Curious Sav- age , was a big success and also helped us on our way to the Prom. We chose Harbor Lights as our Prom theme, and thanks to Mr. Gehler for his help, and the Elks and Lions for the post-Prom party, we had a very enjoyable evening. Finally came our year of famous lasts - our last football game, our last basketball game, our last pep session, our last Prom ,,,, Our class officers for this, our biggest year, were Herb Goslin, president, Ron Classon, vice-president, and Mina jackson, secretary- treasurer. To aid our officers a Steering Com- mittee composed of jim Ambler, Hal Goebel, Marty Huss, Ann Lipke, Diane Schultz, and Kathy Wagner, was elected from the home- rooms. Our senior year saw two new clubs organ- ized, the Camera Club and the Electronics Club. Many seniors also had their first experience in writing two term papers. To reign over our Homecoming festivities, we crowned Stan Gehler and Pat Brown as king and queen. After many hours of diligent practice, the senior class presented their class play, Dino , This presentation exemplified considerable dramatic ability among our classmates and was well-received by all. Another play which met with great success was the contest play, The Unsatisfactory Sup- per , with Iackie johns, Marty Huss, and Ellen Rich. One of our biggest senior projects was rais- ing enough money for a yearbook. We can still hear the familiar chant of Miss Breese and Ron Classon at our class meetings w 'tWe need money, money, money, for the yearbook, After class day, we donned our caps and gowns for baccalaureate and graduation. The Commencement speakers were our president, Herb Goslin, Tom jacob, Student Council president, Cheryl Brown, Valedicto- rian, Diane Schultz, Salutatorian, and Hal Goe- bel, who was elected by the senior class. Our senior memories are not complete with- out thanking the people who made so many of them possible - the teachers for their guid- ance, the dance band for its fine playing at the Christmas dance, the juniors for a wonder- ful Prom, and all of the students for making our last year an enjoyable one, Clif' Vw l CHERYL BROWN GAA l, 2, 3, 4, Freshman Representative l, Social Chairman 2, Point Chairman 3, NFL 1, 2, President 2, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice-President 4, Assistant Librarian 4, Class Play Prompter 4, Publicity, Usher 3, Debate l, 2, Varsity 2, Homes coming Committee l, 2, 3, 4, Prom Committee 3, Girls Chorus l, Mixed Chorus l, 2, 3, 4, President 4, Vice-President 3, Vocal Ensemble l, 2, 3, 4, Festival Chorus 2, 3, 4, DAR Award 4, Senior Commencement Speaker 4, Valedictoriari 4, Atodnem l-lomeroom Staff, Finance, 4 llM AMBLER FFA 2, 3, 4, Sentinel 3, Football l, 2, 3, 4, Varsity 3, 4, Track 4, Steering Committee 4, Atodnem Equipment Stat, Finance 4 IIM BANKES .

Some of us will find our happiness in financial gain, some in our home-life, and some in serving others. But wherever we go throughout the nation or around the world, we shall never forget our four happy years at MHS. We hope that each of us in time will find the success for which he is searching. Whether we succeed in realizing our hopes or not, may God he with us until we meet again. icierg tVif'e-Pro.-'fir-ritt, fairy Davin tpresi- 1 'fttillfi l.4'..'1 'tt tri: rrtfiry-Trr- 'tf'ireri Man 6lClZ.1!Z.IZ23.f df I V616 I outfta nding J U N I0 RS UPPEBCLASSMEN NOW, we were guided through a fine year by our officers. The Steering Committee, consisting of Kent Truckenbrod, Ierry Hessenberger, IoAnne Auchstetter, Kala Fassig, Helen Rollins, Bill Leiser, and the class officers, helped plan many activities which could not have been a success without the cooperation of everyone. Fund raising projects included five record dances after football and basketball games and the Texas Cowgirl basketball game. The main highlight ot our year was the Prom. The theme of 'Deep Purple was carried out quite et- fectively. We did not let the tact that we were han- dicapped by not being able to use our gym bother us, We moved into Northbrook, set to work, and made May l7 a night we-'ll never forget. Another thrill was presenting our first class play, Two outstanding performances were given on March 20 and Ql with a large audience in attendance each night. A fine cast and the expert direction of Mr. Warren made the fast moving comedy Those Andersonsu a quite entertaining evening. We were represented in the Student Council by Margaret Hendrick, Donna lnness, Gerry Bader, Terry Guilfoyle, Bob Masters, and lim Owens. Our attendants at Homecoming were Margaret Hendrick and Ierry Hessenberger. Our year was made more successful by the guide ance of our advisors, Miss Moore, Chrm., Mr. Kirchner, Mr. Altizer, Mr. Steeby, Mr. Warren, Mr, Bieke, Mr. Baile, and Mr. Wedemeyer.

Individuals interested in instrumental music, singing, dramatics, and speech made outstanding showings at contests.

Because of the Asian flu, Bochelle was forced to call off the game, but Mr. Price, our principal, arranged a game with Harlem of Bockford so that homecoming activities would not have to be postponed. The gymnasium was decorated with an oriental motif in conjunction with the Shangri-la theme, Stan Gehler and Pat Brown were chosen as Homecoming king and queen. The attendants were as follows: seniors, George Pohl and Marilyn Kerns, juniors, Ierry Hessen- berger and Margaret Hendrick, sophomores, Bay Conley and ludy Archer, and freshmen, Delbert Gehrke and Iudy Simpson. Another activity of this year's Student Council was the sponsorship of the annual Freshman Orientation Day to provide new students with all the information and advice that they needed to become better acquainted with MHS. A very useful activity this year was the lnformation Desk in the front hall. Every Student Council member gave of his free time to greet and guide visitors to the school. This year's Student Council officersffTom lacob. president, Cheryl Brown, vice-president, Marilyn Kerns, secretary-treasurer, and Stan Gehler, parliamentarian- were an extremely capable group and, under the direce tion of advisors Mr. Murdock and Miss Moore, did an ex- ceptionally fine job of governing the MHS student body. Girly' athletic! are promoted in GAA activitzlef GAA, MORE FORMALLY known as the Girls' Athletic association, is to promote interest and participation in girls' sports. A total of three requirements is necessary for mem- bership: heart examination by a physician, a total of twenty-four points earned in various sports, payment of the designated dues. The year was started out with the election of officers. They are: Diane Schultz, president, Betty Zinke, vice- president, Sharon Whitmore, secretary-treasurer, Carleen Forth, social chairman, Carolyn Sawlaw, freshman rep- resentative, Sue Munson, point chairman. The first activity was a picnic for all new members. During the year sweatshirts were sold as a project for earning money. The high point of the year was Heart Sister Week. During this week the freshmen were in- formally initiated. They were dressed like characters from story land. Events were brought to a close with a formal initiation at the Heart Sister Banquet held at the Methodist Church on February l7, 1958. The sports played this year started out with hockey and continued with swimming, basketball, volleyball, tumbling, bowling, and finished with softball. Swimming was done at the indoor pool at Oglesby, and bowling was done at the Bowl Air. This year the freshman and sophomore members are sponsoring a play day for the incoming freshmen. The purpose is to get them acquainted with the sports that are played in GAA.

Iorclal T he FUTURE will find them TEACHERS in elore ASSOCI- ATION with their .rtudentf THE MEMBERS of the Future Teachers Association are, or are thinking about, going into the teaching profession. The organization, sponsored by Mr. Richardson, tries to interest students in teaching by acquainting them with the opportunities to be found in the profession, The club members are shown movies and are given a chance to observe classes at other schools. The are also given an opportunity to gain first-hand information through actual teaching experiences. They are called upon to teach in the lower grades when the teachers there are ill, at a conference with Mr. Price, or visiting another school. In April, the members were invited to attend a Work shop at Normal. They also took a trip to DeKalb to go through Northern Illinois University. The club officers are: Mary Draper, president, Mina lackson, vice-presidentg and Carolyn Musick, secretary- treasurer. Meetings are held every second Tuesday and fourth Thursday of the month. THE FUTURE HOMEMAKFIRS of America is a growing organization open to any girl meeting the requirement of having one semester of Home Economics. This year it added twenty-nine new members.

The FHA's Homecom- ing float was the next project, and it tied for fourth place in the parade, The theme was Beat the Rockets. In December, FHA had its annual Christmas party with a gift exchange and a box of canned goods for a needy family in Mendota. Before the party the girls went carol- ing. February's meeting was the initiation of the new members and a scramble supper for the mothers. Mrs. Van Etten showed her slides from India at the March meeting, and Mrs. Ward gave a talk on home decoration in April. Other projects of the FHA were a bake sale, a Dads night, and a roller skating party. BACK ROW: M. Leiser, F. Bolling, C. Taylor, G. Handley, R. Herbert, L. Iackson, C. Fitch, R. Mathesius, H.

Stu- dents get points for participating in debates, speech contests, or giving service speeches in the local community. A student needs 25 points to be elected for membership in NFL with a degree of merit, 75 points for a degree of honor, l5U points for a degree of excellence, and 225 points for a degree of distinction. The officers of the chapter were: Ned McCormick, president, Bon Classon, vicefpresident, Diane Schultz, secretary, Mr. Kirchner, advisor. THE DANCE BAND was reorganized by Mr. Baile at the beginning of this year for the pur- pose of contributing to the social life of the school and building individual character. The band had quite a few out-of-town engagef ments besides the ones at school, which in' eluded the Christmas and Valentine dances. The members aren't paid for performing, but the money that is made is put in a fund for uniforms and other instruments. lf there is enough money left at the end of the year, after buying equipment, the members will go on a summer trip. The officers are Don Bich, leader, DANCE and Carleen Forth, librarian. Mr. Baile is the sponsor.

Mr. Steve Warren A PLAY WITH AN UNUSUAL plot and treat- ment was chosen by the seniors for their class presentation. There were well-filled houses for both performances, and the play was a financial as well as an artistic success. Dino, Marty Huss, was a young fellow just out of reform school. His parole officer, Raphael Iones, brings him to a settlement house and in- troduces him to a psychotherapist, Ned Mc- Cormick. The play takes place in the settlement house with a shift to Dino's bedroom. It is evolved around Dino's struggles to adapt himself to so- ciety. Mr. Sheridan finally wins his confidence, as does Shirley, Iackie Iohns, by showing a little love for him. A terrific performance by the entire cast made the play a great success. In addition to a wonderful cast, DINO was well supported by behind-the-scene help. Back- ground drums, played by Pat Zinke added star- tling effect to the play. Lynn Merritt and Cheryl Brown did a very good job of prompting through rehearsals and as a result were not needed too much in the final productions. Dick Tower, as- sisted by Gary Thompson, did an effective job of lighting. Hal Goebel and Giff Pohl handled the scenery and musical background that was neces- sary. Credit should also be given to the various committees including make-up, properties, build- ing, program, publicity, and the ushers. A great deal of work and time was given by the director, Mr. Steve Warren, who did a re- markable job, as always. He was well pleased with the results of his efforts and remarked that this was one of the two best plays he has di- rected.

THE IUNIORS turned out a splendid performance for their first class play, Those Andersonsf' adapted from the TV Show, 'Father Knows Best. Iohn Mau, Beth Ekstrom, and Carolyn Musick carried the leads as father, mother, and Betty. The entire cast con- tributed to make the fast comedy a huge success. Bob Masters did an outstanding job as a repair man, illustrating what can be done with a small part to add to the zest of the whole play. The humorous conflict develops as father tries to cope with the youthful ideas of his teen-age chil- dren. He thinks the family should stay home once in a while, so he suggests that Betty stay at home with her date. Kathy, his youngest daughter, wants to stay overnight at her girl friend's house. Father, with the solution, has the friend come to their house. Bud's friends are also invited in, and Mrs. Ander- son's club is also meeting at home this night. This leads to an embarrassing and comical situation that makes the comedy of the play. Mr. Warren found more than enough volunteers for the production staff, including ushers, and com- mittees for make-up, lighting, set construction, painting, posters, properties, and programs. The play, presented two nights, drew large attendances and Was Well received. As director, Mr. Warren did a nice job of developing a new group into a talented production.

The season started off well, but then the team seemed to go into a slump. However, the de- baters went to work and came back with an exciting climax. The first three tournaments at Lyons, Normal, and Niles found our debate team winning a good share of their rounds. The story wasn't so good when Mendota journeyed to the annual Augustana Invitational Tourna- ment, February l. With a record of 3 wins and 9 losses, the varsity returned somewhat dismayed. The next tournament, at Blue Island, found the de- baters back up to par, as they well proved when they participated in the North Central Illinois Conference Tournament, March l. The varsity foursome won seven of eight rounds to win first place and bring home the conference trophy for 1958. Two weeks later, the debaters entered the Sectional Debate Contest at Lansing, Illinois. The sectional consists of three rounds for each side of the team. At the end of the first three rounds Mendota had won 5 and lost 1. The tournament was clinched with five teams tied for first place, Mendota included. Since only four teams could go on to state, there was a play-off round. The team lost one and won one with the result of placing second in a three-way tie. Thorton Fractional took first, with Men- dota, Proviso, and Downers Grove tied for second. Three years ago, Mendota debaters originated the motto, To State by 58. This year the motto has been fulfilled, as the debaters went to state and won the con- ference too. The State Final Debate Contest was held at the Uni- versity of Illinois on April ll. The results were 3 wins and 3 losses. lt was a very interesting trip for the team, who got a good look at the campus and all enjoyed the over- night trip. This year's topic for debate was, Resolved: That United States Foreign Aid Should Be Substantially ln- creased. The Affirmative argued for an increase in our economic, military, and technical aid to other countries. FBESHMAN DEBATE BACK ROW: D. Heltness, D. Fox, T. Bowne, MIDDLE RONV: P. Piller, D. Weber, P. Wheel- er, B. Munson, FRONT ROW: S. Marko, S. Carlson, N. Stokes, L. Kerns. The Negative stood for a counter-plan this year and argued that private investment can do the same job as foreign economic and technical aid at no cost to the US. Government. A debate squad is made up of four debaters and the coach, with two affirmative speakers and two negative speakers. This year's first team varsity was made up of Ann Lorack and Al Price on the Affirmative, and Ned McCormick and Larry Olson on the Negative. These people made the more important trips to represent the school. Other varsity debaters included Torn Iacob, Iackie Iohns, Ron Classon, Diane Schultz, and Bob Iacob. Many of the larger tournaments have a sub-varsity division. Representing Mendota in this division were Elaine Olson, Bill Hartt, Steve Stein, and Phil Yenerich. These debaters also debate varsity on occasion. They will probably make up the varsity for next year. The first year of debate teaches the rules and funda- mentals of debating. The various types of proof and evidence are learned at this time. The freshman debaters have many practice debates in class before they enter interscholastic competition. The main objective of first year debating is to give the young debaters experience, and not necessarily to have Winning teams. After this year these people will go on into sub-varsity debating, and some might occasionally go right into varsity. Proof that experience is the goal of this group is shown by the fact that all eleven of this year's class will receive a minor letter for debate. They attended several tournaments including Lyons, Niles, Blue Island, Pekin, and East Aurora. The most enjoyed tournament of the year, for the freshmen, was when Mendota played host at its annual Frosh-Soph Tournament. This was a project of the varsity debate class who sponsored and conducted the entire contest. It was held March 8, and fourteen teams attended. All freshmen have gained the necessary points to become members of the local chapter of NFL. Mr. Kirchner estimated that our debaters, as a Whole, traveled over twenty-five hundred miles to par- ticipate in contests.

Mendota entered fifteen speakers and placed fourth. Those entered included B. Iacob, T. Guilfoyle, B. Bowne, P. Gibbs, S. Althaus, E. Korneman, and the group pictured above. Two weeks later on February 22 nine speakers journeyed to Ottawa to participate in the District Contest. With the aid of the play Mendota scored enough points to place second. Three speakers qualified to move on to the Sectionals at Lansing, March 8. Keen competition prevented them from going on to State Finals. Mendota presented an unusual but interesting play for contest this year. With a cast of three, it placed sec- ond at the conference contest at DeKalb. All three of the cast were chosen as part ot an honorary all star cast. The play took third at the district contest at Ottawa. This met the necessary requirements to go on to sectional at Lansing, where it placed sixth. The cast did a remarkable job and were well repre- sented behind the scene. Mr. Warren deserves credit for another good production. THE UNSATISFACTORY SUPPER Cast Archie Lee . . ....... Marty Huss Ida Bell . . . . .,...... Ellen Rich Aunt Rose . .. .....,..

They also played at the Tri-County Fair and in numerous parades. Under the direction of Mr. Baile, the band has par- ticipated in a great number of school activities. For in- stance, the Trojans were loyally supported by the band at all the football and basketball games this season. A group of band members attended the NCIC Music Festival. Work was then started on the Christmas concert held in combination with the chorus. The new year began with preparations for the joint grade and high school concert held on February 20. This concert was sponsored by the Band Aides, the new band parent organization, as a part of the drive for new uniforms. This campaign netted ape proximately SIIOU. The Band Aides activities in- chided concessions at the TrifCounty Fair, foot- ball games, and a dance that they sponsored.

The season began with e the annual NCIC Festival in which several ol the out- standing members of the chorus participated. The IQS7 Festival was held in Ottawa's Kingman gymnasium. The director of the 350 voice chorus was Mr. Robert lvIcCowen from Iowa State University. At Thanksgiving the girls' and mixed choruses pre- sented a short concert to the student body. Christmas time brought a joint performance of the two chorus groups and the band. This included a school and public concert. CHORUS OFFICERS RACK ROW: P, Irirmzz, C Rrown, A. Rciilazz, M Elsesser, W.

Several of the participating groups Went on to the State competition. Four of the choral department members enjoyed the All-State Music Activity held in Peoria. They were Hal Goebel, Sarah Yost, Emily Gray, and Bill Hartt. Guest conductor for the All-State high school choral group was Harold C. Decker. This year the chorus expanded their concert and social exchange program. They invited the Rochelle choral group to spend an evening at MHS and accepted an in- vitation from Princeton High School Where they had an enjoyable evening. Each ensemble group has given many additional per- formances this year at service clubs and church groups in the community. This is one Way in which the com- munity can enjoy the work of the choral department, and these performances serve as a workshop for the students. Many times the high school is responsible for the whole program, and the band and choral departments often combine to give a varied and enjoyable program. Climaxing the year's activities was the formal Spring ACCOMPANISTS Concert held on May ll. They presented a short Easter M, Ah1emgnU'B- price, 13 Eden Concert to the student body also. The final performance of the year was the mixed chorus's appearance at Bac- calaureate and Graduation exercises. This year's mixed chorus officers were: president, Cheryl Brown, vice-president, Mary Elsesserg secretary, Mary Ahlemann, librarians, Bill Hartt, Patty Ianes, Ar- lene Bailas. The girls' chorus officers were: president, Bonnie Hancock, vice-president, Karen Bell, secretary, Helen Rollinsg librarian, Leslie Beetz. Accompanist for mixed chorus this year was Mary Ahlemann. Girls' chorus accompanists were Bonnie Price and Betty Eden. Mary Ahlemann, Bonnie Price, Betty Eden and Patty Ianes have worked throughout the year with the ensemble groups.

The co-editors ot the Hi4l.ite statt were Bob McLaughlin and Iaclcie Iohns, the sports editor was Iim Bankes, and the circulation manager was Caro- lyn Weiler. As well as writing and printing the news around the school, the Hi-Lite stati worked on feature stories, in- formative articles about the present construction of the school, and humorous columns such as Mac's Tracks, and Friends, Trojans, and Farmers. A new series which was introduced to readers this year was an interview column that spotlighted important members ot the stu- dent body and their activities. The journalism students took various field trips this year. They visited the Mendo- ta Reporter a number ot times, and they also toured the Typo Design Research Center in Mendota. ln addition to these trips, the class toured the MHS construction area and later wrote stories tor the paper concerning the Work. Through the courtesy of the Mendota Reporter, the Hi-Lite carried frequent photos of school activities and personalities. These added to the interest of the page. The publication ot the school paper is under the very able direction of Mr. Stephen Warren. BACK ROW Mr Warren N Sheridan V Hertz P. Brown, I. Iohns, B. McLaughlin, I, Hampson, THIRD ROW: I.

Well, if this is the case, our athletic department has really been moving. Besides the usual competition from teams of other schools, the destruction and construction that has been going on every- where proved to be quite keen competition. To start off the year, the football practice field Was filled with material for the new gym. The bas- ketball team was practically pushed out of the gym, and track boys found they had more than one type ot hurdle to overcome. All of our teams did fine Work considering the conditions and handicaps they had to contend with and all showed that most important quality, good sportsmanship.

The only one that the Trojans were able to win was with Kewanee. This meet was run in the rain in the middle of the ilu epidemic. One purpose of Coach Herbert Rieke's team was to gain conditioning tor the following basketball and track seasons. The eight man team had only four letter win- ners: Bob Iacob, Iim Corrigan, Don Weber, and Rich Fischer. The team did not have the publicity ot the other sports, and as usual the school following and spectators were sadly lacking. In fact, other than judges, there was not a spectator during the whole season.

The Trojans were hampered by a light team and had the services of only six returning lettermen. In addition, a flu epidemic took a heavy toll during the crucial time in the middle of the season. Thirty-nine boys turned out for the first practice, and all stuck out the whole season The opener of the season saw the St, Bede Bruins defeating the Trojans by the slim margin of 7 to U. ferry f-lessenberger made two apparent touchdowns which were called back because of a clipping penalty and an out of bounds infraction. Outstanding line play by Butch Tentler, Stan Ge-hler, Gif Pohl, and lim Lines field the Bruins scoreless until the last quarter, but still Mendota was not able to overcome the penalties. The next game and loss came at the hands of the Hall Red Devils lQ to U. Hall picked up all of their points in the first half and were held scoreless and outplayed in the second by a determined Mendota eleven. Tentler was the bright spot of the night for the Trojans, having a 31 yard runback of the opening kickoff in the second half. lim f-lessenberger also had a 32 yard run in tfie fourth quarter for Mendota's longest gain of the night.

In the next game against Geneseo on the home field there was a change in the lineup for the Trojans. Eight players were made ineligible for the game by a training rules infraction, The Trojans, playing one of their better games, brought home the win with Tentler, Larry Davis, and Saueressig making the touchdowns. The final score was 26 to l4. The battle seven days later, for which none of the squad was ineligible, was lost to the Harlem Huskies 33 to l2. This was also the Homecoming tilt. The Men- dota team showed the first signs of the coming flu epidemic and were therefore not up to par, Both of Mendota's touchdowns came by passes from the hands of Bob Saueressig. One was caught by Tentler and the other by Russ Dinges, who made a sensational end zone catch after the ball bounced off of two defenders. The next game was played on a Tuesday night at Rock Falls. The game was held over from the previous Friday because the Rockets were also in the clutches of the flu bug, Mendota played their best game of the season but still were defeated by the conference cham- pions 28 to l3. On the following Friday Mendota traveled to Prince! ton where they went down to another defeat 33 to 7. The Troian's lone score came on a pass by Saueressig to lim Bradshaw. During the night Saueressig completed nine out of fifteen, lim Hessenberger did some very hard running, and Butch Tentler played his usual fine game. The last two games were at home.

The opener of the season saw St. Bede defeat the lunior Trojans 21 to U. Undaunted in spirit, they traveled to Hall, where they were also defeated. This time, how- ever, by a narrower margin of seven points. High hopes for a brighter future were dimmed by the Ottawa Pirates 40 to U. On the next Friday night the fighting laytees took their first win from the Geneseo Maple Leafs 13 to U. The next game was their Homecoming win over Harlem 7 to 6. This game was a fine example of the never-say-die spirit of the lunior Trojans this year. They trailed through most of the game up until the closing moments when some razzle-dazzle pass and lateral plays brought them another win. Rock Falls came away victorious in the fol- lowing battle 28 to 13. Playing at Princeton, the Frosh-Soph picked up their third win 13 to U. They finished the season by tieing Ster- ling 14 to 14, and being defeated by Rochelle 12 to 6. The laytees were not altogether successful this season but undoubtedly would have had a better record had they received the services of two boys plagued by in- juries. loe Wehmeyer had an operation on his shoulder, which put him out of action, and Larry Davis had trouble with an ear infection. Special Commendation should be given, however, to the boys who were outstanding during the year's play. Oscar Countryman led the team with his allearound de- fensive ability while lerry Chico Virgil capably han! dled the aerial department, Coach Verdie Altizer, plagued by a virus infection, was able to be present at only the Ottawa game. Lloyd Doenier took over the coaching duties during Mr. Altizer's illness, :Z 52 U1 U L4 o CD CD O E 3 o U1 Di Qi S21 5 0 IE E-3 sf o .Ci U C1 L-e rs O bd si c E U1 ': .CI O O :i E E GJ 1: U1 Q vi .

This year was the first in the last thriee that Mendota finished with a better than .500 rec- or . Center George Pohl led the Trojans in scoring with 281 points for an average of 12.2 per game. Rich Bumba was second in the scoring department with 233 points, an average of 10.1 per game. Pohl also led in rebounds with 182, followed by Kent Truckenbrod with 102. Pohl also netted the most free throws with 59. The Trojans split their first two games of the year, los- ing their opener to Tiskilwa, November 22, 47-39 and bouncing back to top the Earlville Raiders 50-43 four days later. Mendota then ripped off three consecutive victories, beating Marquette 50-26, St. Bede 41-31, and Marseilles 51-39. ln these three games the Trojan defense was the biggest factor in the victories. On December 20, the Trojans traveled to Princeton, where they lost 50-42 in a real thriller. In this game Mendota made a real comeback in the second half after trailing 26-15 at the intermission. George Pohl did a fine job in defensing the Tiger's high-scoring center, Vern Magnuson, holding him to six points. On December 26, Marquette was host in the annual Holiday Tournament. The Tro- jans knocked off Serena in the first game 47- 29, but they were eliminated in the second round by an unbeaten Seneca club 58-50. Bob Sauercssig drives in for two more points for the Trojans. 11'1 1119 flI'Sl QGIHS of the New YSCIT, ICITILICITY - 7, the Trojans beat Amboy 45-40. This time Rich Burnba turned in a fine defensive game, holding Amboy's high-scoring guard, Bob Halsey, to a mere four points. The Trojans then proceeded to defeat Sterling 51-45, as Rich Bumba scored 23 points and put on a great dribbling show. Mendota then hit their low ebb of the year, losing to Geneseo 69-50 and also dropping a double-overtime game to St. Bede 46-43. The Trojans then came back to trounce hap- less Marquette 81-61, but once again they succumbed to Tiskilwa, this time 52-47. january 31 and February 1, the Trojans faced their toughest weekend of the season. They went into the Ottawa game an in- spired bunch but were still beaten by the highly-ranked Pirates 66-50. The next night, however, the Trojans beat the Hall Red Devils 46-45 in a game that was nip and tuck all the way, In the game, the fabu- lous Ray Mack scored 27 points, the most points scored by one player against Men- dota in one game. On February 7, Mendota lost to DeKalb, ranked number 17 in the state, 59-46. They then came back to defeat the Hubs of Ro- chelle 37-32 in a very low-scoring tilt and also beat Earlville 55-54. Don Weber played one of the most outstanding games of the season, getting 24 points against the Raiders and doing a fine job on the boards. The Trojans traveled to Rock Falls on Feb- ruary 21 to face the top-ranked team in the state. Once again Mendota played a good game but were simply overpowered by a sue perior team as the Rockets won 76-55. Looking very ragged, the Trojans then lost to Amboy 65-55, but they closed out the regular season by defeating Dixon 63452. Mendota once again lost to the Tiskilwa lnf dians in the first game of the Regional at La- Salleel3eru 67-64, The Trojans gave all they had, but the Regional winners had too much ot a balanced scoring-attack. The Trojans held their opponents to an aver- age of 50.4 points per game, which is an out- standing feat in this day and age. With the re- turn of three men above sixfthree, the pros- pects for next year indicate a successful sea- son, Mendota's Iunior Varsity also had a suc- cessful season, bringing home an 88 record. The IV team was composed of those boys on the varsity who needed the experience and those who didn't get to play regularly. The 8-3 record is another indication of a promising season next year. lUNIOR VARSITY SCHEDULE We They 32 Princeton 45 43 La Salle 32 52 Marseilles 43 44 Qttawa 42 36 Rochelle 34 46 Marseilles 46 42 Ottawa 54 65 Marquette El 6l Rochelle S7 82 Marquette 52 72 La Salle B6 George Pohl is shown sinking a jump shot as Don Weber and Rich Rumba await a possible rebound BACK ROWr Ioe Wehmeyer, Bob Merritt, Kent Carnahan, Bruce Christman, Craig Beardsley, Vic Larsen, Coach Lewis, FRONT HOW: Flay Conley, Mgr. Mike Dickey, Ed Hanson, Delbert Gehrke, Iim Mahar, Walter Piller Hard luck purfuef FROSH- SOPH tlarzmgloout the .remon THE FROSH-SOPH SQUAD this year carried only eleven players, which is considerably fewer than usual. Breaking a precedent set in recent years, the team was composed of seven freshmen and only four sophomores. Although the won-lost record of the laytees this year does not reflect a completely successful season, it seemed evident that much progress was made in the development of future varsity players. This is one of the most important functions of the Frosh-Soph squad. The opener of the season was with the Tiskilwa lndians. In a closely fought battle the Iaytees emerged victorious over the home team by a slim one-point margin of 33-34. High point man for the game was Bob Merritt, who dropped in 17 for half of Mendota's total score. The Friday night following this victory, they faced the Earl- ville Raiders in another tight scrap. This time, however, they came out on the short end of the very low-scoring game 25-22. loe Wehmeyer had lU points to lead the Iunior Trojans in the scoring department. ln the following four games the Iaytees ran into a little tough luck. They defeated Marquette 50-47, but lost to St. Bede 28-44, Marseilles 50-59, and Princeton 31-47. Kent Carnahan, a six-foot- three-inch freshman who joined the squad in time for the Marquette tilt, was high scorer in these four games. In the next six encounters the luck of the Iaytees changed. They beat Amboy 46-30 with the help of 16 points by Merritt and ll and 10 respectively by Carnahan and Wehmeyer. The next one was lost to Sterling 39-52. The Iaytees traveled to Geneseo to defeat the Maple Leafs 49-46 and begin a four game winning streak. Carnahan's 18 and Delbert Gehr1ce's 16 points were the deciding factors in Mendota's victory. The next night, Saturday, the Iunior Tro- jans beat St. Bede 42-35 with Carnahan, Mer- ritt, and Gehrke again providing the scoring punch. Marquette also fell to this scoring on- slaught 49-46. Tiskilwa, too, fell 46-45 in another close scoring game. The closeness of the games gives some indication of how evenly the teams were matched. In the Prosh-Soph competition this year the losing team was very seldom overwhelmed by its opponent. After the win over Tiskilwa the Iaytees traveled to Ottawa where they were defeated 45-55. Carnahan put in 26 to capture scoring honors, but this wasn't enough to contain the tall Pirates. In the next game the Iunior Tro- jans again had trouble finding the range as Hall won, going away 35-52. The losing streak begun by Ottawa con- tinued as Amboy came away on the long end of the score 38-46. DeKalb added another loss to the Iaytees' record 39-69, and held all Men- dota's big guns at bay. Rochelle jumped on the band Wagon by a score of 69-54. The balanced attack of the Hubs was a little too much for the home team to cope with. Mendota journeyed over to Earlville for a one point disappointment 39-40, and then went to Rock Falls and lost again by one 42-41. The hard luck team wasn't able to produce again as Amboy got another victory 48-58. Dixon did the same, 49-56, over the objection of Carna- han's 30. The defeat by Dixon ended the season for the Iaytees who compiled a 7 and 14 record. With seven of the players on the squad re- turning next year chances look bright for a successful season for Coach Ted Lewis and his Iaytees. PRosH-soPH STATISTICS FG FT TP QUARTERS I.

To examplify their athletic prowess they set three new records for MHS. Bill Brown set new broad jump and shot put standards, while Avery Merriman lowered the l80 yd. low hurdle time. The outstanding athlete on the team was Bill Brown, who placed in the state meet for the second consecutive year and set five different records in the shot in the surrounding area. There were also some new Frosh-Soph records. Smiley Davis set the new 880 record while Germany Harrison broke the old Frosh time tor the mile, and Bill Leiser tied the 440 mark to round out a season of broken records. 1957 TRACK LETTER WINNERS MAIOR LETTER B.

The loss of many of last year's big guns, including Bill Brown, seems to have been well compensated by a fine balance of running in the track events and ample talent in the field. The coaching tasks are being shared by Head Coach Verdie Altizer and his assistants, Don Gooden and Herb Rieke. These men have done a fine job in develop- ing powerful contenders in all events. The mainstays of the Trojans at the beginning of the season are as follows: 100 yard dash, Bob Higgins, 220 yard dash, Tom Potter and Ierry Hessenberger, 440 yard dash, Bill Leiser and Iim Bradshaw, 880 yard run, Larry Davis and Tom Truckenbrod, Mile run, Al Mitchell, Low hurdles, Hal Goebel, High hurdles, Iim Hampson, Broad jump, Russ Dinges, Pole vault, Stan Gehler and Rich Bumba, High jump, Iim Hampson and Bob Saueressig, Shot put, Gif Pohl, Bob Saueressig, and Iim Lines, Discus, Saueressig, Don Weber, and Kent Truckenbrod. The first meet of the season saw the Golden Knights of Marquette travel to our track and absorb a sound beat- ing, 79V2 to 29112. The Mendota trackmen took all but three first places, getting eleven out of a possible four- teen. Larry Davis ran an outstanding half mile for the first meet of the season. The time was 2:l0.3, which was improved upon in the next few meets. The following Tuesday our thinclads took to the road for a triangular with Ottawa and Princeton at Princeton.

Dinges, I. Mau, B. Iacob, I. Corrigan The Trojans outclassed both of their oppo- nents and brought home a first place. The next meet was the LaSalle-Peru re- lays in which the Trojans came out second best to a strong Ottawa team 35-34. Under the scoring system of the relays the team with the most depth is usually the winner. Placing third was Princeton. The other three teams in order of their finish were Hall, LaSalle-Peru, and Marquette. In the Southwest Conference meet at Princeton Mendota placed second behind Rock Falls. Iim Bradshaw got second in the 440 and Iim Hampson tied for first in the high jump. The Trojans' outstanding mile relay team brought home a second under the added handicap of being in a slow heat. On Friday, April 25, Mendota was host to Amboy and Spring Valley. This was a very closely fought battle between Amboy and the Trojans, and the meet was practically a dead heat until the field events were added to the scores. The MHS pole vaulters put forth a supreme effort and cleared the high- est mark that they have ever reached, only to be beaten by a Hall Red Devil who soared to ll ft. 6 inches.
