These two fine young people were our schoolmates and they were good Friends to everyone whom they met. All ol us who knew them and who attended school with them lor many years knew how active and co- operative they were. Vera had a great many interests in and outside of high school. She and Forest were both outstanding in their church youth group. Vera was also active in dramatics club, Rainbow Girls, and Girl Scouts. Forest's ability lay in his athletic skill. He had a prominent position on the football squad and was an up-and-coming prospect for the basketball team. He was also active in other school activities. As we know, it is the small deeds that make a truly great and happier world: the small deeds they did for their friends made many a dull day brighter. We could not have asked for two finer friends than Vera and Forest. Page Two DEDIGATIUN Miss Hoose Miss Hoose will do it. How many times we have heard this and how true it is. Her talents are many, but among the most outstanding are her abilities in the art department, speech work, and her fine direction of the dramatics club. For many years she has helped to produce a yearbook with her typical good will and helpfulness. She is the girls' athletic director, and without her guidance in working with classes and other groups many would be at a loss. She has created many an interesting assembly and has also produced dramatic plays with great success. She has, herself, been active in numerous amateur theatrical groups and the Community Play- ers organization. She has not only directed for this group but has acted in a great many of their plays. She is also an enthusiastic participant in Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority affairs. Whether directing, acting, or conducting her classes, she is a friend when a friend is needed and is al- ways willing to help wherever she can. To you, Miss Hoose, we dedicate this 1946 edition of the REVERIE. Page Three BOARD 0F EDUCATION MR. B. W. STEPHENS-President ol the Board: General Manager of the Paxton Typewriter Company. DR. J. R.

The members of the REVERIE staff this year, knowing that they would receive no remuneration for their services and recognizing honor as a poor paymaster, have found a greater compensation in the satisfaction of serving and in the pleasure of working' together for a Common purpose. Without the grueling but tireless work of Bett Dragoo as Editor-in-Chief, and of Herb Robertson as As- sistant Editor, without the efficient collaboration o?lWendall Fuller and his assistants, Mary Ann Thorpe and Richard Peairs, as Business Managers, and of Paul Bates as Organizations Editorp without the faithfulness of Gordon Armstrong and helpers, Virginia Musick, Allan Allers, Jeannine White, Kenneth Fletcher, and Allan Ehlers as Photography Editors, the composition of the book would have been impossible. Valuable assistance was given the editorial staff by the sponsors, Miss Donham, Miss Hoose and Miss Gorman. To Dorothy Hargis as Activities Editor, and Bernice Buzard as Senior Class Editor, goes the credit for their untiring labor on the Senior section of this volume. Other class editors were Marilyn Block, representing the Juniors, Margaret Brown, Sophomores, and Floyd McKinney, Freshmen. With Miriam Ambrose, as Literary Editorg Robert Allan, as Music Editor: and Harlan Heller as Dramatics Editor, these individual sections were capably edited and history recorded. The artistic designing was created by Editor Lois McKinney. Also deserving of recognition are Ellen Rose Cooper, Evelyn Graham, Laura .lean Hadden, Hetty Duguid, and Donita Powell who served as typists.

Page Nineteen Betty Dra goo Herb Robertson Bernice Buzard SEIIIUI1 GLASS REVIEW A We of the 1946 graduating class deem ourselves very fortunate to be the first class in four years to gradu- ate from N.C.H.S. in peace time. Each and everyone of us is ready to go forth into the welcoming arms of a peaceful world and establish a firm foundation on which to build ourccareers and a lifetime of health, happi- ness, and prosperity. Before we leave, however, let us open the cover of a four year volume and review our last lesson ever to be prepared in our high school career-the lesson of our activities and life in N.C.H.S., chap- ters one, two, three, and four. In reviewing our first chapter, we learn that we, as freshmen, composed a group of one hundred-thirty. This group of eager students was led through a successful year by Harlan Heller, president, Bill Vandegraft, vice president, and Judy Gehrt, secretary. Mr. McConkey served as our loyal sponsor for one semester. After his resignation, Mr. Bailey served us for one week. We chose, then, as a result of Mr. Bailey's resignation, Mr. Bishop, who finished the year as our leader. Sports, music, dramatics, and various organizations received a taste of our talent. Gordon Armstrong, Betty Schad, Tom Linden, Judy Gehrt, Bob Allan, and Marihonor Met- calf were featured in the play, June Mad. Gordon Armstrong also played in Tons of Money. The freshman- sophomore party proved to be a big hit. The chosen theme was St. Patricks. Four of our more intelligent stu- dents, Miriam Ambrose, Charles Melton, Weldon Bayless, and Harlan Heller' were elected into the Junior Na- tional Honor Society. The year 1943 found a very determined group of sophomores anxious to get things rolling. We started the year by electing as our officers: Bob West, president, Herb Robertson, vice president, and Doris Campbell, secretary. Our choice of class sponsor was Miss Bessmer. We were well represented in the band, orchestra, dra- matics, sports, clubs, and newspaper staff. Howard Eades, Robert Stratton, Herb Robertson, and Bernice Buzard joined forces with those sophomores retaining membership in the National Honor Society from their freshman year. Laura Hadden, Gordon Armstrong, and Marcia Bryant were given parts in the play, Every Family Has One. Several sophomore boys, although not on the regular team, made a fine showing of their athletic abil- ity and teamwork. Those on the football squad included: Richard McCannon, Don Hinshaw, Howard Eades, Don Mohr, Eddie Conklin, Forrest Cates, and Burt Whitman. Turning in fine records for the basketball season were these same boys with the addition of Charles Melton. Everyone had a gay time at the party given the freshmen by the sophomores. A very appropriate theme, Victory, was selected for this annual event. As we turn the pages of our third chapter which made history in the year 1944-45, we find that ninety juniors were busily engaged in the extra-curricular activities and organizations that help to keep a school run- ning in a democratic manner. The officers that led us through a busy year were: President, Howard Eades: vice president, Frances Remschnerp secretary, Bernice Buzard. Mr. Legg was our sponsor. Early in the year two of our group of ninety, Kenny Martin and J. B. Heller, stepped out of civilian life into navy life to help Uncle Sammy win a war. As we glance through the music section, we see the familiar faces of Marjorie Patton, Betty Dragoo, Dorothy Caldwell, Marlan Miller, Don Mohr, Burt Whitman, Harlan Heller, Bob Allan, Dick Peairs, and Charles Melton. ln the sports department the juniors claimed several athletes who can be counted on to give an opposing team a tough battle. Judy Gehrt, Bernice Buzard, Dorothy Caldwell, Donna Davis, Miriam Ambrose, and Betty Burrows held membership in Girl Scouts. A Bond Drive was sponsored by this or- ganization with the aim of purchasing a jeep for our armed forces, with the full support of the entire student body we reached far beyond our goal. A group of juniors, Gordon Armstrong, Judy Gehrt, Richard Peairs, Charles Melton, Betty Schad, Loren Breidenbach, Marcia Bryant, and Harlan Heller were featured in the play, What A Life. This year, Betty Dragoo, Bob West, Don Hinshaw, Richard Adams, Howard Eades, James Page Tvonfy SEIIIDR GLASS REVIEW Theivagt, and Aileen Wagner became members of the National Honor Society. We worked hard selling candy and cokes at the basketball games and holding dime dances after Friday night games to raise money for the gala spring event-the Prom. Each junior served well to make the Prom a real success. This year, 1945-46, concludes our life at N.C.H.S. We began our senior year by electing our leaders: Don Hinshaw, president, Bill Birky, vice presidentg and Donita Powell, secretary. Mr. Bishop served as our sponsor. The senior class welcomed four transfers to N.C.H.S. Jerry Rupp came from University High School: Har riet Kidwell, from Ben Funk High of Shirley, June Williamson transferred from Danvers Community High School: and last, but by no means least, we have Marihonor Metcalf back with us after an absence of one year which she spent at Springfield. These seniors who possess qualities of trustworthiness, cooperation, courtesy, sportsmanship, service, leadership, plus top-notch grades have become members of the National Honor Society in either their fresh- man, sophomore, junior, or senior year: Harlan Heller, Charles Melton, Miriam Ambrose, Weldon Bayless, Herb Robertson, Bernice Buzard, Dick Peairs, Aileen Wagner, Betty Dragoo, Bob West, Don Hinshaw, Rich- ard Adams, Howard Eades, James Theivagt, Bob Allan, Gordon Armstrong, and Donita Powell. Nice going, kids! ' Four senior boys who began their athletic training early in their freshman and sophomore year proved by their performances that they would undoubtedly serve on the varsity basketball team. We are proud to say that Eddie Conklin, Howard Eades, Burt Whitman, and Don Hinshaw are the varsity members. Also de- serving recognition for their outstanding support are Don Mohr and Charles Melton. Dick McCannon deserves a hand for his splendid job as manager of the team. Editor Charles Melton and his staff of workers, which included these seniors: Marihonor Metcalf, Evelyn Graham, Herb Robertson, Wendall Fuller, Gordon Armstrong, Dick Peairs, David Denzer, Harlan Heller, Miri- am Ambrose, and Bernice Buzard gathered the news, dummied the articles, cut the stencils, folded the paper, and mimeographed it ready for the eager-beavers who were anxious to read the gossip and to see if they were mentioned in the weekly lnkspot. Miss Gorman contributed a great deal of work toward helping the newspaper staff produce the paper. What would the band have done without the services of Gordon Armstrong, Richard Adams, Charles Melton, Dick Peairs, Betty Dragoo, Harlan Heller, Marjorie Patton, Helen Rountree, Burt Whitman, and Bob Allan to produce musical tones? Needless to say, these seniors held essential positions in our band. After three years of rendering our services to various organizations, we find that this year several of us held prominent positions in these same organizations: namely: Howard Eades, Student Council president, Delores Huffington, G.A.A. president, Gordon Armstrong, Thespian president: Charles Melton, lnkspot edi- tor, Bernice Buzard, president of Hi-Tri Executive Council, and Betty Dragoo, editor-in-chief of the Reverie. Several of our senior dramatic artists were starred in our all school play, Ran':shackle Inn. Now, as we depart, we wish to leave this volume of our life at N.C.H.S. on the shelf with other similar volumes and where others like it will be added in the years to come. This is all past history now, but it leaves a sharp distinguished mark of fond memories never to be erased from our minds. Soon we will be walking along life's pathway gathering new and valuable information to which we will add the knowledge gained in the classrooms of Normal Community High School. To our Alma Mater and many friends, weibide you farewell!

JUNl0R CLASS HISTURY Three years ago, in September of 1943, one hundred and four eager and ambitious freshmen received their first glimpse of Normal Community f-ligh School. Alter we had learned our way around and had become acquainted with our classmates, class elections held our interest. The victors were Lois McKinney, president: Lyle Irwin, vice-president, and Mary Ann Thorpe, secretary. Miss McConnell was our sponsor. ln l944, our sophomore year, over one hundred of us came baclc to our studies. We immediately elected Kay Ward, president, Jim Stephens, vice-president, Ruth Reddel, secretary, with Miss Bessmer as sponsor. It was during this year that the Sophomores emerged victorious in the war bond and stamp drive sponsored by the Girl Scouts. We alone purchased enough bonds to buy two jeeps. This year eighty-seven of us are enrolled as iuniors. With much enthusiasm we elected Paul Bates, presi- dent, Don Couch, vice-president, and Waunita Klump, secretary. Miss Allen was our class sponsor until her resignation last December, after which Mr. Richards assumed the task. Miss Forsythe, Mrs. Bingham, and Mr. Middleton assisted him. Keith Irons, Roger l-lougham, Doris Price, Vera Pleines and Marilyn Mays came into our midst from other schools, while Donnie Couch, our vice-president, moved to Decatur at the beginning of the second semester. Now at last we are upperclassmen. As if the word itself held magic, we participated in more extra-cur- ricular activities than ever before. Many of our students are dramatically inclined. Lois McKinney, Marijayne Clemmons, Mary Ann Thor e, and Dick Warner displayed their acting ability by gaining leading roles in the two three-act plays given diur- ing the first semester. Mary Ann also had the lead in Janie , a Community Players production. One-fourth of the band was composed of juniors. Those talented musicians are: Mary Lou Clesson, Lois McKinney, Mary Ann Thorpe, Marilyn Block, Linda McCue, Doroth Buth, Ruth Reddel, Joan Hinlcle, Mary Thompson, Edward Stinley, Paul Bates, Jack Gooding, Charles Gesliiwlm, Charles Cox and Roger Jones.

Athletics held the interest of many of the stronger sex. Allen Allers, Bill Altneu, Clarence Anderson, Bud Archer, Paul Bates, Charles Cox, Charles Geshiwlm, George Hinshaw, Lester loeger, Keith irons, Roger Jones, Harley McClure, Jack Pickering, Merle Simpson, Jim Stephens, Kay Ward, Dick Warner, Byron Zehr, and George Zook all helped drive the lronmen on to victory. Mary Jane Hinshaw was the junior representative on the pep committee, and Mary Jane and Lois Mc- Kinney were cheerleaders. Members ol our class who had literary aspirations served either on the lnkspot , our school newspaper, or the Reverie staff. Paul Bates, Marilyn Block, David Valentine, Alice Winsett, Byron Zehr, Mary Thomp- son, and Roger Jones were reporters on the newspaper staffp Nancy Taylor, Alice Winsett, and Marilyn Block worked on the production staff, and Elzada Zehr was assistant editor. Lois McKinney, Paul Bates, Marijayne Clemmons, Marilyn Block, Dick Warner, and Mary Ann Thorpe were members of the Reverie staff.

Gene Miller and Virginia Aldridge served on the Junior Red Cross lnter-City Council. Dick Warner and Jim Stephens were on the School Activities committee, and Kay Ward and Lois McKinney were members of the assembly committee. Mary Ann Thorpe, Byron Zehr, and Paul Bates helped choose our movies. Members of the class who were elected to the Student Council by their classmates are: Byron Zehr, Jo Anne Griffin, and Mary Jane Hinshaw. As always, the prom, which we sponsored, furnished a perfect climax for the year. We sold chrysanthe- mums at Homecoming, and candy, cokes , and other refreshments at football and basketball games to fi- nance the gala event. And now we leave N.C.H.S. until next year, happy in the knowledge that we will return as seniors.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTDRY On the fifth day of September, l944, one hundred and six freshmen walked in the front door for the first time as students of Normal Community High School. We were all a little bit frightened, but we were will- ing to grin and bear it. We started on the right foot by electing as our officers For the year: Dick Britt, president, Eugene Miller, vice-president, Betty Brown, secretary-treasurer. September 4th, l945, found eighty-five of us back and proud as punch to be sophomores. We had add- ed to our happy group thirteen new students whom we welcomed heartily. Our officers were elected and we were glad to find that we had elected as the leaders of our class: Virgil Cates, president, Bill Linden, vice-president, Marvin Dunn, secretary-treasurer. The first event in which we found our talented students participating was the summer theatre play, The Mad l-lattersn. Joyce Mann played the part of Gigi Hatter, Mary Sue Williams, the part of Nanc Hay- ward, Barbara Morgan, the part of Clara Sheldon.

FRESHMAN CLASS lllST0llY On September 5, l944, Normal Community High School welcomed lO4 freshmen. The upperclassmen, as always, called them green freshmen. On September 3, l945, these freshmen became sophomores, and it was their turn to laugh at the in- coming fres men-that's us. Like all green freshmen we were bewildered and we looked it. In about two weeks we began to take over. There were about ll3 of us. The girls outnumbered the boys by one. Some have withdrawn from this school and some have joined us from other places, so now we number llO. This year we nominated our officers by petitions. They were elected as follows: President, Jean Plumb: Vice-President, Martha Jacobus, Secretary-Treasurer, Alice J. Casebeer. We chose Miss Ruecklos for our spon- sor. Our associate sponsors are: Mr. Dotlich, Miss Bopp and Mr. Sharp. When the school play, Ramshackle Inn, rolled around with its dead bodies and murders, Richard Ochs was our representative. l-lis characterization was mainly concerned with playing dead. This was our main play of the season although we had several one act plays. The day before Christmas vacation started, the Dramatics Club presented a one act Christmas play entitled, Pop Reads a Christmas Carol. The freshmen who took part in the play were: Norine Arends, Donna Dorland, and Ralph Maloney. Orville's Big Date with Barbara Workman, Marilyn Foster, Donna Adams, and Ralph Maloney, was another production. Norine Ar- ends, Martha Jacobus, and H. J.

Sports, beginning with football, included freshmen Ray Gerht, Hewitt Haier, Ralph Maloney, H. J. Mc- Elroy, Jimmy Peterson, Lawrence Peak, Lawrence Schenkel, and Joe Erbe. Joe Erbe played on ireshman-sopho- more squad, but he was injured in mid-season, All of these boys have great possibilities. The freshmen who represented us in basketball on the Junior Varsity were: Ray Gerht and Ralph Maloney. The Student Council has a good representation of freshmen in its midst. Ray Gerht, Gloria Zehr, Norman Niepagen, Elaine Wiese, Lawrence Schenkel and Jean Plumb are freshmen Student Council members.

The Playhouse Dramatics Club began the year with seventy-five members. Miss Hoose served as sponsor with the officers who were elected the previous spring: Gordon Armstrong, president: Lois McKinney, vice president, Marijayne Clemmons, secretary, Harlan Heller, treasurer. New members were required to give a memorization of prose or poetry as their initiation into the organization. Members were introduced to club activity with the production in October of the farce The Mad Hat- ters g approximately one half the students belonging to the Playhouse acted in or served on the production staff for the show. ln November the second project was launched, the mystery titled Ramshackle Inn which challenged the ingenuity of stage crew as well as actor, because of set requirement of a balcony with a room off itp the construction had to be built secure enough to hold actors in a fight scene and for a fall down the stairs. Several one-act plays were presented during the year, the first of these being the Christmas assembly program, Pop Reads the Christmas Carol , with Dick Peairs, Laura Jean Hadden, Norine Arends, Bob Allan, Donna Dorland, Mickey Maloney, Dick Britt. The club introduced a Dramatic Festival into the school theatre program when it produced on March 29, six plays, three in the afternoon Followed by a supper for all casts, crews, and members of the club, and three in the evening. Dorothy Caldwell was general chairman, assisted by Paul Bates, Wendall Fuller, Dick Peairs, Norine Arends, Marilyn Tate, and Sally Veatch. Among the plays given were Orville's Big Date directed by Sue Williams, with a freshman cast composed of Mickey Maloney, Marilyn Foster, Barbara Workman, and Donna Adams. A group of sophomore girls, Jeannine White, Jean Ochs, Jean Ann Kewley, Marilyn Tate, Joyce Peterson, Ann Birky, Sally Veatch, and Lois Hargis gave Alice's Blue Gown , Dick Peairs directing. A farce called Everything Nice , directed by Margaret Brown presented Norine Arends, Joan Hinkle, Martha Jacobus, lna Belle Warren, Varda Belle Warren, Dick Peairs, and H. J. McElroy. The title role in Sister Sue was played by Minnie Carter, assisted by Elzada Zehr, Charles Cox, Jane Galbreath, Alice Casebeer, Dick Warner, Dick Ochsg Gordon Armstrong was director. The drama, The Valiant , was a highlight oi the program, Harlan Heller was starred in the title role, with Gordon Armstrong, Bob Allan, Dick Warner, Dick Britt in the supporting cast. The production of the Thespian spring play concluded club activities, and brought the group up to its goal of having every member active in the production of Theatre projects sponsored by the school.

Troupe 613 of National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society in its second year of existance at Normal High has progressed rapidly toward local recognition through outstanding work in school productions as in Com- munity Players shows, including Mary Ann's fine portrayal ofthe title role of Janie , Gordon's part of the sailor and his juvenile lead in Theatre , his summer work at Northwestern Speech Institute was ranked su- perror. Officers are: Gordon Armstrong, president, Mary Ann Thorpe, vice president, Lois McKinney, secretary: Dick Peairs, treasurer: Dorothy Caldwell, clerk, class representatives on Board: Harlan Heller, senior: Bud Archer, junior, Dick Britt, sophomore. On October 25, the Thespians sponsored Miss Edna Means, caricaturist from Chicago, for an assembly program after which a tea was given in her honor. The production of Ramshackle lnn entitled Bob Allan, Margaret Brown, Sue Williams, Marijayne Clem- mons, and Wendall Fuller to membership, and their formal initiation was held on November 20. Parents were invited as special guests to the service and reception. In December the Thespians were initiated into professional theatre going on a field trip to Chicago where they saw the great American actress, Tallulah Bankhead in Foolish Notion and the greatest of all European actresses, Elizabeth Bergner in The Two Mrs. Carrolls . The highlight of the year was the Moonlight Masckuerade, formal ball given on January 4. Decorations of stars, snow-covered pine boughs, moonlight expressed t e theme. Our hope is that such an affair will become a tradition at N. C. H. S. L' The Thespian spring play was given on April 17, and on May 2, the formal honor banquet was given as a farewell to the seniors. Our loss is great with the following charter members graduating: Betty Schad, Tom Linden, Judy Gehrt, Gordon Armstrong, other seniors, Dick Peairs, Charles Melton, Harlan Heller, Laura Jean Hadden, Dorothy Caldwell, Bob Allan, Wendall Fuller will be missed from our ranks. Last spring a plaque was awarded to the senior earning the highest number of credits, Richard Funky the Best Thespian plaque this year goes to Gordon Armstrong with congratulations for four years of outstanding work.

Jeanne Ochs Old Doc Hillary thinks his son Bob is coming home from medical school to practice with him. But Young Doc has been offered a rich and easy big city practice with Dr. Brand-and a chance to marry Helen, his daughter. lt all sounds tine except that Young Doc is in love with Margaret, and he doesn't have nerve enough to tell his tather he isn't going to practice with him. Margaret breaks oft their engagement when she hears his plans, and Bob goes away on a trip with the Brands, leaving a note for his father. Old Doc suffers a stroke when he reads it, and neighborly Ma Brown takes things in hand, faking a telegram from Bob, and Old Doc dies happy in the belief that his son will take over his home-town practice. Young Doc is angry at this turn of events, but Ma shows him what a half a century of caring tor the home-folks has meant in lives saved. So Young Doc chooses his practice-and his wite. This is not only the warm, human story ot a great man in a small town, it is the story of all people who live greatly, though their place be small. lt revives one's faith in people.

Oh, but those words sounded familiar at the beginning of the school year as the marching band practiced For the Football games and parades. The band marched in the Band Exhibition at l. S. N. U., the l. S. N. U. Homecoming Parade and our own homecoming parade. Leading the band was our drum major, Gordon Armstrong and drum majorettes, Mary Lou, Betty and Normalee Clesson. We also had a color guard consisting of Mary Ann Thorpe, Lois McKinney and Dorothy Caldwell. As the lootball season faded from sight, the concert band began getting ready lor the concerts it would give in the luture, A tew of these were P. T. A., the Winter Concert, Open House and Odd Fellows War Memorial. Then came the basketball season with the band furnishing some peppy marches to keep our spirits high. Not only did we have an instrumental band, but a band with a full mixed chorus. Our band is the only one we know of that has ever done this. The first piece the Singing Band attempted was- the Overture to Tannhouser. lt was first presented in public February lst for the Schoolmasters Club. Our new band arrangement also played for an l. S. N. U. assembly program. The last oi February the Music Clinic Conference was held at Normal Community and the students par- ticipating in the two hundred piece orchestra were Bob Allan, Harlan Heller, Joan Hinkle, Paul Bates, H. J.' McElroy, Betty Clesson, Charles Geshiwlm, Jack Gooding, Richard Adams, Mary Ann Thorpe, Betty Dragoo, Ruth Reddel, and Dorothy Buth. We played lor the Illinois Education Association and we participated in the McLean County Music Fes- tival. Ending up the concert season, was the Spring Concert on May 19. This year two of our cornetists, Ruth Reddel and Dorothy Buth, played a Cornet duet, The Ida and Dottie Polka. They played at several places during the year. As the school year closes we hear the ever familiar strains of Pomp and Circumstance and watch our seniors Harlan Hetter, president, Burton Whitman, vice presidentg Dorothy Caldwell, secretaryg Dick Peairs, Margie Patton, Richard Adams, Betty Dragoo march down the aisle and receive their diplomas. So closes another year on our band.

The mixed chorus, under the direction of Mr. Richardson, consisted ol ninety voices. Within the mixed chorus there was a boys' chorus and girls' chorus. Also there were other branches which placed their roots in the mixed chorus. These were a girls' ensemble and the boys' quartet. The girls didn't get started until later in the year but put on an excellent performance in our student talent assembly, February twenty-first. The girls who formed the ensemble were Elzada Zehr, l-letty Duguid, Mary Sue Williams, Margaret Brown, Harriett Hastings, Jean Plumb, Jean Ochs, Norine Arends, and Marcia Bryant. The boys' quartet consisted ol Charles Cox, Diclc Peairs, Bob Allan, and Richard Adams. These fellows rep- resented our school over a wider area than ony ol our other musical organizations, singing in places such as l-ludson, Stanford, the Farm Bureau and various dinners and programs in and around Normal and Bloomington. The mixed chorus gave several concerts during the school year. Besides our spring and winter concerts they sang lor the Central Division oi the lllinois Education Association held in our building, For an assembly in March, tools part in launching the magazine drive to purchase new robes in October, and participated in the McLean County Music Festival in April. Mixed chorus ollicers were Bob Allan, president: Charles Geshiwlm, vice president, and Reva Starkey, sec- retary. The girls' chorus elected Hetty Duguid president and Marcia Bryant vice president. ln contrast to former years the regular mixed chorus contained only three band members. On years past the chorus was made up mainly ol people who were also in band. This year, however, because ol schedule dilli- culties, most people had to talce their choice of the two organizations.

Approximately thirty-iive students have devoted their time, energy, and abilities to help make the Ink- spot, N.C.l'l.S. weekly newspaper, bigger and better than ever. Practically any hour of the day some member of the stail can be found at work: a reporter industriously smelling out news, a handy andy folding or cut- ting papers, a typist pounding away on the keys, or a mimeographer doing regular six-page issue. The lnkspot served as an excellent spreader of publicity for all school functions. Every activity and event was given due recognition, and on such special occasions as Open House and Christmas, the staii worked doubly hard to produce a special edition. The April first issue, as usual, did an excellent job of dis- torting the truth, and the last issue paid tribute to the esteemed and highly honored graduating seniors. Charles Melton, as Editor-in-chief, and Elzada Zehr, Assistant Editor, were guided by Miss Marie Gor- man, our very capable and hard-working sponsor. The following people have helped to make the newspaper a huge success this year: Reporters: Marilyn Larkin, Sally Veatch, Jeannie Ochs, Marilyn Tate, Donna Adams, Gordon Armstrong, Marihonor Metcalf, Norine Arends, Barbara Parlier, Alicejayne Casebeer, Margaret Brown, Marilyn Block, Lois Klump, David Valentine, Loren Breidenbach, Jeannine White, Alice Winsett, Miriam Ambrose, Minnie Carter, Mary Thompson, David Denzer, and Lois Hargis.

Pa ga Forfy Page Forfy-one LITERATURE AT IAN D REHEARSAL Many people have heard our pep band, but Iew have ever heard all the combinations that could possibly be, and are, derived lrom this organization. Ability may not be our mainstay, but we cannot be surpassed in versatility. You would have to attend a re- hearsal to appreciate that statement, but since that is not pos- sible, I shall do my best to paint a verbal picture lor you. Arriving at the appointed home on the appointed hour, a group ol boys who have battled the invigorating crisp winter weather begins to unpack the instruments. Out ol the pocket ol the clarinetist comes two of the brilliantly colored musical pota- toes. In another corner ol the room lies a serpentine-like a hunk of pipe called a Sousa-phone. These are the extremes. The more common instruments, drums, clarinet, comet, baritone, trombone, bullliddle, violin, mandolin, piano, banjo, and guitar, are there too. With 'somewhat a semblance ol order, the boys begin to warm up to the tune ol Hi-Le-Hi-Ho, much to the dismay ol the lamily dog. Hiding in his corner, the poor persecuted pup lets go with a heart-rending and woelully dismayed wail. Thereafter he is promptly evicted Irom the room, to a place where the erratic, rhythmic, rat-ta-ta-tat ol the drums or the sharp commanding voice ol the trumpet will no longer disrupt his entire auditory sys- tem. lut the dog is not the only one to suffer. The entire lamily is given a thorough course in music appreciation. The belching blare ol the bass horn, the struggling baritone, or the barking bull liddle would be enough to disturb any other clarinetist, but not Rich. Through the din and torrent tempest ol it all comes the placidly serene music ol his clarinet. All good must end though, and when the Iellows call lor a rest, Rich and l have our lun. He lays aside his clarinet and l my baritone: we turn to the more delicate instruments. No practice would be complete without our mandolin and violin duet. Just the two ol, us to perlect the tranquil intercourse ol our two instruments on the newest or oldest ol songs. Occasionally Roger will join us to provide a pyramid ol harmonious chords on his guitar. And so it goes. Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten o'clock. Until someone realises the time and we call a halt. Then a ride home in that wonderlul Model A. The car near- ly Ilies. As we Iilt our load ol instruments and alight from the car, we smell the clean stimulating night air. Through our minds come the thoughts and songs of the evening. The haunting little ditties that go tripping through your mind. You think ol this and leel the I1-esh cold air and you know what you have done tonight was good. -Harlan Heller Class ol '46 NIGHT DUTIES UNDONE l never seem to get my homework done It's always past bedtime belore I've begun.

From the day school begins in September to the day school dismisses in May, the members of the Student Council are on the job serving on committees and boards, sponsoring school projects, voicing student opinions, and functioning as a student governing body. Since there are no home rooms this year, one representative was elected by the students to serve on the Council from each ofthe first hour classes. The presidents of the four classes-senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman-were ex-officio members. Mr. Diveley served as sponsor this year. Howard Eades was elected president of the Council by the student body in the all-school election. The other officers elected by the Council were: Paul Bates, vice-president, Mary Jane Hinshaw, secretary, Don Hin- shaw, treasurer, and Ann Birky, historian. Harlan Heller was elected to serve on the Executive Board along with the other officers. The first large order of the year for the Council was appointing students to serve on the following com- mittees: Assembly, School Activities and Social Calendar, American Education Week, and Pep Committee for athletic events. Shortly after this and during the remainder of the year, other important committees were formed. Among these were the Corridor, Dancing Class, Research, Lost and Found, Service Plaque, Art, Build- ing and Grounds, Welfare, and Chartering committees. The Council's Publicity Committee had charge of publishing Student Council minutes so that all of the students in the school could know what took place, and in handling the column Student Council Notes in the lnkspot. Other responsibilities of the Council were organizing and distributing homecoming activities among the classes, corridor patrol, an active lost and found department, keeping the service plaque up to date, improving the appearance of the school and campus, acting as a clearing house for problems between administration and the students, dancing classes, relief activities, planning for future all-school activities, formulating school poll- cies, and recommending needed improvements.

The National Honor Society recognizes those students who have served their school very well in various capacities and have also maintained a scholastic average in the upper quarter of each class. This society has functioned to raise the standards of scholarship, leadership, service and character to a higher level. The National Honor Society has two types of membership--the Junior and Senior Society. The former is open only to freshmen and sophomores, the latter is open to juniors and seniors. However, membership in the Junior Society does not mean automatic membership in the Senior Society. To become a Senior mem- ber, the individual must maintain his high standards. There has been a Senior Society in Normal Community High School since 1929, and a Junior Society since 1931. Down through the years membership in both socie- ties have been well represented. Because of the limited enrollment allowed by the organization, the method of selecting students consists of grouping alphabetically those students who have successfully maintained an average in the up er quarter for an entire semester. This alphabetized list is then submitted to the faculty who judge the stuclents whom they lcnow on a basis of trustworthiness, cooperation with others, attitude toward regulations, courtesy, sports- manship, leadership and service. Membership is not determined by grades alone. .- To remain in good standing as members of the National Honor Society, it is necessary that each member strive to maintain the high standards of good school citizenship. This year, which has not been the practice for a number of years, we elected these Senior officers: Presi- dent, Herb Robertson: Vice President, Harlan Heller, Secretary-treasurer, Bernice Buzard. These officers were in charge of the initiation ceremony and luncheon at our annual joint meeting with the Walter Dill Scot Chapter of University High School. Normal Community was host and hostess this year. Since its founding, it has been a practice for the two schools to alternate a social program once a year. Normal Community High School is proud to claim a part in this nationally lcnown organization.

Another successful year of the Hi-Tri organization was opened the fall of 1945. Under the leadership of Bernice Buzard, president, Bernice Collins, vice president, Dorothy Hargis, secretary, and Jean Wiese, treas- urer. During the year we strove toward our aims: more interest among the group, more council meetings, and a better and more prosperous year of service. The officers ofthe year were: Seniors--Donita Powell, presidentp Ellen Rose Cooper, vice president: and Laura Jean Hadden, secretary: Juniors-Dorothy Buth, presidentg Francis Wood, vice presidentp and Mary Thompson, secretary, Sophomores-Marilyn Tate, president: Jean Ochs, vice presidentp and Lois Hargis, sec- retary, Freshmen-Barbara Workman, president, Jane Galbreath, vice president: and Patty McBurney, secretary. The watermelon party of September 7, opened the gate to our flow of events. To increase the funds of our treasury, the organization sponsored the sale of l,OOO pencils among the student body. During October we held the annual initiation of the girls in school. Later, a special meeting was held during which we were entertained by Hawaiian music, songs, history, and dances. During the first of December, the Council enjoyed a chili luncheon with many results as to outcome. We spent a successful season of cheer by the Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen giving three baskets to needy families. The Invitational, although late, carried out the Cupid's Serenade of the year, and everyone present enjoyed themselves immensely. The Mother-Daugh- ter Banquet in April finished the long list of social events. The last of the mass meetings was the installation of the four new executive officers and the sad but welcomed farewell to the senior girls. We loolc with pride over the past ear and hope we have accomplished our aims and that the girls of Normal High have gained a better understanding of loyalty, character, pleasure, success, friendship and courtesy.

We tool: a trip to the Pantagraph and to the other places of interest in Bloomington andlhlormal. The science club had about sixty members from all classes, including seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. The science club is headed for a big year in 1946-i947 with guest speakers, experiments and dem- onstrations from some of the students, and field trips that will prove very interesting. A half day field trip out of town was held in May.

The Projectionist Club is an organization that works for the enjoyment of the whole school b projecting educational, noon hour, and major release films. We have thirty-two members this year. The hoiId the titles of masters, first class, second class, and cubs. To earn these titles they must fill these required things for each class: First, a cub is usually a freshman or sophomore who shows a willingness to learn and to give time out- side ofthe school hours for this work. Cubs are given instruction on how to o erate the projectors. Then they take an examination, and if they pass they become second class operators. The second class operators must show advancement and have at least twenty-five hours of projection experience and pass a mechanical test, plus the showing of dependability, promptness, courtesy, and the ability to manage a show. The first class must have all of the above qualities plus three semesters of experience. They also have to be capable of train- ing cubs and second class operators. Other things they must know are: how to splice and edit film, care of, and know films. The use of the public address system is another thing they must know about. Baloptican and slide film machines are also included in this work. After they think they have mastered all these things, they are given an examination. The next step is that of master. To obtain this title, candidates must have all of the above abilities plus managerial and supervision experience. They must know the complete visional-educa- tional set-up and pass an examination, including a hearing, before the principal of the school. We decided not to have regular club meetings, because we are doing something along this line every day. We did decide to elect a president and a secretary. They are as foilowsi president, Jack Shoemaker: secre- tary, Virginia Musick. Our sponsor this year is Mr. Bishop, who returned from the Navy to resume his teaching duties this fall. The members of the club have taken over the job of running the public address system for the noon hour dancing. The members have devoted many of their library hours to projecting the movies for the classes. One of our aims, along this line, is to project better movies than ever before.

The mem- bers of this organization are required to be enrolled in a home economics course or to have completed one year of high school home econmics training. A formal initiation ceremony was held in September honoring new members. Other interesting meetings included a demonstration of flower arrangements by a local florist, a lecture on first aid and health by our school nurse, and an activity meeting at which time the girls made red and white hats symbolizing the chap- ter colors. Exchange parties were given by the Future Homemalcers and Future Farmers during the year. ln the sprlng the girls visited the Home Management House at I. S. N. U. The mothers were invited to a tea and to see achievements of the department. A group of girls who had been studying food values made a large poster in summary of their findings. This was displayed in one of the store windows during American Education Week. The third year homemaking class recovered an overstuffed chair while studying a unit on home furnishings. Girlsf who were enrolled. in home economics courses completed two home projects during the year and will complete a third one during the summer. Page Filly-one ,Q .

George Hinshaw The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of students interested in vocational education in agriculture. The purpose is to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, to develop rural leadership, and to further an interest in farming as an occupation. The organization has four grades of membership, based upon achievement. These are: Green Hands, Fu- ture Farmers, State Farmers, and American Farmers. Only three per cent of these boys in the state may re- ceive the State Farmer degree, and only one out of a thousand may become an American Farmer. ACTIVITIES OF CHAPTER , Our Chapter was honored at the Illinois State F. F. A. Convention last April by having two members se- lected for the State Farmer degree, namely, Jim Birk and Don Hinshaw. Dwlght Zehr was given the coveted and unusual honor of being elected to the American Farmer Degree at the National Convention held in Kan- sas City in October. La Rue Schad, one of the two boys from all Illinois, won the National Dairy Efficient Pro- duction Award. Claude Mohr won a plaque for being the top ten in this same contest. The last week in August twenty-one members ofthe Normal Chapter exhibited livestock at the Sectional Fair at Gridley and carried off the lion's share of the honors, winning twenty-live first, fifteen second, and two third prizes. Outstanding exhibitors in the Chicago Hog Show in September were: Allan Allers, Carroll Shiner, Howard Francis, Paul Bates and Bill Birky. Don Hinshaw, Vernon Hinshaw and Carroll Shiner did well at the National in December, selling their calves for 95 cents per pound. The F. F. A. boys and their parents, along with the Home Ec. girls and Adult farmers enjoyed their an- nual banquet on April 2nd, with Dr. A. W. Nolant of the University of Illinois as the speaker. The big ice cream feed was held In April, 25 gallons for 50 boys. This year has been a great year for the Normal Chapter and we are going to miss the seniors.

Normal High we're proud oi you -the kick-off-a charge down the field-a jumble of col ors-mud-stained jerseys-a skinned nose-the ground-pacing ol Coach Dotlich-the i945 football season opens at N.C.H.S. Prospects at the beginning of the 1945 football season forthe lronmen were bright with seven lettermen returning to lorm the nucleus of a lair-sized squad. Coach Esau Dotlich's spirited gridders pla ed some top- notch football. All season the lronmen had a well-balanced team and a hard-lighting team. The varsity team was supported by some very capable reserves. At the end of the season the Football score-board told oi Five wins and three defeats. ln the thriller with Bloomington Raiders played at Truman Keys Field, B.H.S. finally squeezed a narrow 7-6 decision. The lron- m t- d b - ' en were ou score ut were lar from out fought or out-playe .

Roaring crowds-breath-taking silences-the sharp shootin' ol ca tain Burt Whitman--the brilliant defense of lgloviward Eades-the Paris Invitational Tournament-a thrilling baskietball season for the ironmen from start to inis ! At the beginning of the season the prospects of a very good team seemed excellent, considering the fact that the lronmen had three returning varsity men from last year, Whitman, Eades, and Conklin, a letterman, Hinshaw, and several capable contenders for starting positions in Melton, Ward, and Zehr. Under the able guidance and coaching of Coach Dotlich, the team did a line job of keeping the lronmen on the basketball map. The morale of this year's team failed to be destroyed. It was a team to be remembered for their light to the end and their great ability to rally. The lronmen made a line showing at the Paris Tournament just getting beat out of third lace by a strong Cathedral team by two points, and finally taking fourth place out of the sixteen teams entere .

WALTER BYERLY DON MOHR CHARLES MELTON Mr. Legg and Mr. Custer, the baseball coaches, outfitted approximately thirty players at the first of the season. The veterans were: Howard Eades, catcher: Don Mohr, first base, Burt Whitman, ,second base: Jim Shott, short-stop, Jim Birky, third base, Charles Melton, second base, and Jim Theivagt, pitcher. Some of the new candidates were:.Jerry Schad, Bob West, Byron Zehr, Jack Anderson, Dick Warner, Walter Byerly, Bill Linden, Lyle Patrick, Marlan Miller, Earl Peyton, and Jack McQueen. At the start of the season, the lronmen were weak on pitchers and outfielders. To help this critical situa- tion some outfielders had to be found. Bob West was the best find, and he became a fine fielder. Very few balls got through his center-field position. He was also a fine hitter, and came through in the pinches time after time. Burt Whitman and Jim Birky alternated at left field and an error for either one of them were few and far between, for both of these lads are fast and have a good receiving eye. The right field position was always a question. It was alternated between several players, and the name of the starting player was never known until the day of the game. The group of boys that the starting player was picked from are: Wally Francis, Marlan Miller, Byron Zehr, and Kenneth Fletcher. Burt Whitman, a very versatile player was converted from a second baseman to pitcher. Jim Birky was also changed to pitcher. These boys, along with Jim Theivagt, Carroll Shiner, and Earl Peyton, composed our pitching staff. Jim Theivagt, Burt Whitman, and Jim Birky carried the brunt of the regular games, however. The infielders were all regulars, except for Jack Anderson, the third baseman, from the preceding year. Jack, a freshman, lacked only in experience. His fielding ability was up to par with any of the other lads, but he lacked full confidence at the plate, because of his inex erience. The short-stop position was ably filled by Jim Shott, a heads-up ball player, who was one of the better hitters on the team. Burt Whitman also played second base, his old regular spot. Other second basemen were: Chuck Melton, and Byron Zehr. The first base sack was covered by Don Mohr, a fine fielder. Don was the morale builder of the team. His voice could al- wa s be heard encouraging the pitcher, or running down the opposing batter. The same can be said of How- ard! Eades, the catcher. Howard had developed from last year to this, into a fine hitter, and was usually good for a hit when needed. He did a lot in the way of encouraging the pitcher, and brought out everything that he could from them. The highlight of the season was the game with U. High. It went through ten innings before the winning run was made, to set the score at 5 to 4. U. High favor. Jim Birky pitched all the way for Normal. U. High used several pitchers. The lettermen graduating this year were: Jim Birky, Jim Shott, Wally Francis, and Carol Shiner. This leaves many returning lettermen, so prospects for the coming year are very bright. Pago Sixty-Nine TRACK l l 1 ROGER JONES IUD ARCHER EDDIE CONKLIN GEORGE MAYS IILL ALTNEU CHARLES COX PAUL BATES DAVID IRIDGEWATER The Normal track team of 1945 had a rather successful season. Both Stanley Johnson and Ed Lockenvitz won second in their events in the district, to qualify for the state meet. In the first meet of the season, Normal lost to LeRoy 73-44. After losing the first meet, they came back and beat University High and Heyworth in a triangular meet. Normal first with 61 V3 points, University 51 points For second, and Heyworth third with 3973. Bloomington won the inter-city meet with 59 points. Normal was second with 43 and University High trailing by one point took third. Trinity followed with 6 points. In the Corn Belt, which is held on our track, University High won by a score of 56 points, Normal and Pontiac each got 49V2 points to tie for second place. Morris took third with 10 points, and Trinity came in fourth with 1 point. Normal also competed in the Lincoln and Gridley relays and the district meet in Peoria. Letter winners last year were: Ed Lockenvitz, Stan Johnson, Bob Gillis, Burt Whitman, Jack Shoemaker, Vincent Sigler, Dean Hinshaw, Eddie Conklin, Bud Archer, Forrest Cates, Bill Altenu, David Bridgewater, Roger Jones, Charles Cox, Harley McClure, and Fred Chapman, manager. Probable boys returning are: Jack Shoemaker, Burt Whitman, Ed Conklin, Dean Hinshaw, Bud Archer, Bill Altneu, David Bridgewater, Roger Jones, Charles Cox, Harley McClure, Junior loerger, Wendall Fuller, George Mayes, Paul Bates, and George Hinshaw.
