They are the persons who attend our functions, who earn the money necess- ary to run the school, and to whom we must always appeal if we wish to con- tinue our school activities. These persons are our parents. Because of their loyalty and their sincere interest in us and in the school, it is with this realization that we, the Class of 1951, have dedi- cated this issue of the UHilltopperW to our parents. If it will show that their efforts have been appreciated, then the purpose of the UHilltopperu will have been partly fulfilled. 00 -00 Q,00Ai,,00 -Q00 poogooiooiooioo 0-00-00-00-00,00,00-00,00-00,00 00 ' 0' 00 00 00' 00 00 00 00' 00 00 00 00000 00 00 00 00 00 00 000 000000 ........

Our school career be- gan with Curtis Blackwell, William Bryden, illen Davis gudrey Davis, Ida Greene, Robert Hoskins, gnna Ingram, Joyce Jury, Mary Mutta, Donald Maddex, Henry RGHHHU, Phyllis Wunder, and Mildred Shipley. After a short summer vacation in l9hO, we were eager to carry on the work of second graders still under the leadership of Miss Cunningham. We found four former students missing, Allen Davis, Robert Hoskins, Anna Ingram, aid Mildred Shipley but gained six, namely Jon Babington, Virgil Beck, Raymony Ely, Jack Kear, Mary Lopeman, and Dianne Meyers. Upon being promoted, we learned that we third graders would move to the room across the hall and . have a new teacher. So, in l9hl, sixteen youngsters, a little frightened by the remark,,nThird grade is one of the hardest years,N trudgod on under supervision of Miss Wilmina Monier. Donald Maddox, Raymond Ely, Dianne Meyers aid Mary Lopeman moved during the year, Our gain was Willard McCartney, Norma Steele, aid Tommy Schupp. The following year as fourth graders, we were once again welcomed by Miss Monier. This year there were eighteen pupils, New pupils were Betty Ingram, William Jarrad, Paul Kaiser, anna Kear, Robert Griswold, and Helen Engelbrecht. ' . The year l9h3, we all felt Wbig.H Why? Well, by being promoted to fifth grade, we could climb the long flight of stairs, to which we had been looking forward Miss Fern Frank was our had twenty-four pupils, Larry Bertrang, William Yvonne Basket and Laura short time. capable leader. Our class new having'gained James Appel, Powell, George Snyder, and Mae Hedden who was here for a During our sixth grade year, Miss Frank was still our teacher. We were a class of twenty. This year we gained Leslie Yighsonger, Bill Bogner, and nlford Davis During this year we lost three members, Ion Babington, Curtis Blackwell, and Phyllis Wunder. We continued our grade school career under the capable leadership of Miss Eleanor Bussell. In the seventh grade there were sixteen students. New mem- bers were Charles Greathouse, J. T. Haycraft, Barbara Head, and Marilyn Streitmatter. The year l9h6 we were very proud, because we were eighth graders and our high school career. would soon be ready to begin We ended our grade school career under the very capable leadership of Mrs. Margaret wilson. There were fourteen in the class including nudrey Schafer, who was with us only a 1 snort time. The year l9h7 was the big moment of our school career, for, it was then that we would be Hfroend Freshiusg Ngreen because we didn't know much about high school and wondered what would happen next. There were twenty-two members, namely, Janes Loehle, Eugene Leiner, William Bryden, Betty Carr, Helen Enqelbrecht, Ida Greene, nngelinc Gries, Ruth Eattan, Barbara Head, Robert Hoskins, Bill Kesler, Joyce Jury, Vary Mutta, Willard WcCartney, Uarvin Oltman, Verla Oltnan, Will- iam Powell, Tommy Sehupp, Marilvn Streitwatter, Ella Stuff, Evelyn Wood, and Kenneth Summitt. During this year we lost one member, Helen Englebrzcht. Our Sophomore year proved to be a year of better understanding of high school. We lest Barbara Head, Ruth Hatton, Hebert Hoskins, Ella Stuff, and Marvin Oltman. ' ' ' J? The following wear, our iunior year was one we had all looked forward to because we would receive our class rings and have the opportunity to present our class play which was Uhama Had A Hunchn.A This year our class num- bered twenty. New members were June Colwell, Clifford Gill, Roland E. Woody, Vary Ratcliff, and LaVeta Johnson We lost one member, Tune Colwell. Upon arlival of our last year, we had many thinfs to look forward te. First of all, we were ndignifiedn Seniors and would have our Senior pictures taken. Other highlights were the annual, the class play, JDesperate nmbroseV, the Senior trip to Chicago, class night, Baccalaureate, and last, but certainly not least, the big moment of our lives--graduation night. We are a proud class of seventeen. During the complete twelve years, four of us have been together, William Bryden, Joyce Jury, Ida Greene and Marg Mutta. Tommy Schupp left us this year to attend sc ool at Chillicothe, Our class colors are red and white and our class flower is the red rose. For our motto, we chose: HNot finishedg just begun,N which suggests the follow- ing poem. JUST BEGUN nGoodbyeLn the old desk whispered When I cleaned my papers out.

Kenny asked me to go along for the ride out to Hollywoodg so I did and Ivve been out here ever since. Of course, you have heard of the McCartney, Hosler, and Bogner Producing Company. Yes, sir, the biggest and best movies in the world are put out by these old boys. Theyfve changed a bit since high school days--grown both up and outg Their newest picture, I hear, is ULive in the City.W Co-starring with them in their own picture are two girls from Chillicothe.

She says, It comes in handy when you want to see what's com- ing at you,Vand I'll always thank my manager, Jim Curry, for suggesting that I use it.W Ifm not surprised at Ida Pearl, she always was stirring up mixtures since she took that chemistry in her junior year. Ah, and here is the sports page. This should be interesting. nSparland, the Biggest Little Basketball ' Squad of all Times.U Say now, isn't that something! Oh, no wonder, theyfve get that all-American, Bill Bryden in there as coach. He always was loyal to Sparland High. He brought the team of 'SO and 'Sl to many a victory with his steady playing and good teamworkl Here's another sports article. Johnny Gill, High Scorer for Chillicothe Grade School. Gill??? That's a familiar name. Oh sure, Clifford Gill. Just as I expected. Clifford and Laveta Johnson are married and have moved to their beloved Chilli. I guess they Wanted their twins to go to their old alma mater. Oh, say, here I see that Miss Gries says her girls' track team is going into spring training with high hopes this year. Couldn't be anyone else but Angie. So she finally get to be a P. E. teacher. I I believe I heard that she really puts those kids over the hurdles by requiring them to drink a pint of some concoction similar to Hadacol each day. Upon turning to the entertainment pages, I find our own Bill Powell is to crocn to an audience of ladies at 8 p.m. tomorrow night. Oh, I hope I get back in time to hear him. Besides some lady with the lucky number will be his guest for the evening. New that program is at the Moody Hall on Main Street. uni 'A' U' 'lit ' ' K 7' ' nut ' ' CLASS PROPHBCY That Moody Hall must be named after Junior. He was always trying to make some entertainment or look- ing for some so guess he is imitating Don McNeil and Jim Moran, whose programs he saw on the senior trip back in 1951. ' As I turn to the Society Page, my eyes fall uuon a nicture of a familiar face. And under the A picture in large print we have, Uverla, the Beautiful.d I see that during the last few years Verla has had the hobby of collecting husbands. This week she is marry- ing another eligible bachelor by the name of Rocka- foller. Quite rich, I think. This will be her tenth attempt at a successful marriage and everyone wishes her the greatest happiness. I see by the next paragraph that Verla is taking her personal maid, Mary Mutta, with her on her honey- moon, as well as her chauffeur. Glenn Smith. My what a lot of news in this paper. It must be going to be a double wedding as Ver1a's maid is marrying the chauffeur. A nice arrangement. I remember Mary alsays did play superbly the role of maid in our class plays. I'll bet being personal maid to Verla really brings in the chips for her, too. Now here's another picture of a Ratcliff Clinic to be finished next week. It says it was able to be built from the funds of a famous food for health sponsored by her and her famous doctor husband. It says that it is a healthful salad made from rag weeds, and that she got the idea from the way the senior class used to Uchew the ragu at class meetings. Sound's like Janie's wish has come true. She always wanted to be a nurse and now her dream has even gone beyond that, now that she has a hospital of her own. Well, it seems that almost everyone of the class of 'Sl is doing the thing he always wanted to do. Now I am really anxious to get home to see these class- mates. But it is just as I expected.

We were ably guided through the year by Miss Hadley ' and Mr. Faye, our advisers. Our officers were: Presi- dent, Evelyn Wood, Vice-president, Joyce Juryg secre- tary, Angeline.Gries3 Treasurer, Laveta Johnsong Re- porter, Mary Jane Ratcliff, Student Council Members, Kenneth Summitt and Willard McCartney. ' We started early in the year to earn money by serving lunches, having food sales, selling candy, pen- cils, and Christmas gifts. We sponsored the Homecoming celebration most successfully, Cwe thinkj having Pairanis Orchestra for dancing, sponsoring cake walks, and chose Joyce Jury as the queen from our class and Clifford Gill as the king. We were happy that Joyce was chosen by the school as the queen. Our class sponsored the Christmas program with Willard McCartney the emcee. Junior Moody recited as an enraged politician. The girls sang popular and Christmas songs. Kenneth Sum itt, Bill Powell, Bill Bryden, and Clifford Gill warbled, too. Mrs. vincent Ratcliff, recently from Holland, gave us a picture of her native country. Our class play was November 10. . other big moments were posing for senior pictures, E ordering announcements, choosing the annual staff and getting the Hilltopper out on time, and planning a ' trip to Chicago. KWon't the Stevens miss us?Q Last, but not least, our last few days of school were'spent with studies, the class night program, skip day, re- hearsing for commencement and baccalaureate exercises. We were glad when graduation night was over, but will miss our good and busy times in Sparland High School. --Jane Ratcliff -- Y Y -SA A,-,A , 4- --- 4 -rn ----- NYY nl.. - -- --Y ------- kuhvaif v h 7 -- ,p c. is X!

All take English and general science. All girls take home economics, and the boys take agriculture or general business. Five take algebra and the rest take general mathmetics. Upper classmen tried to frighten with their rumors of the terrible initiation. The fatal day was not as bad as expected. The boys were dresses, the girls, bib overalls wrong side out and backwards. The onion and dill pickle necklaces didn't smell so good, but the girls didn't mind the baby bottles. Joyce Jury wrote this remarkable?? poem which we recited upon re- quest to the merciless seniors: WHerefs to you, senior, I bow at your feet, At your command, I'll scrub the street. ' Ivll shine your shoes or carry your books, I'll smile graciously while you laugh at my looks. You can smear me with paint, you can feed me raw fish, I'll even eat pepper if that is your wish.

CI wonderl? The bell rings, everyone rushes to his seat. After the roll is checked, Raymond Ehnle goes to the teacher's desk to ask permission to speak to Jim Mattingly. When the teacher isn't look- ing, the freshmen girls innocently talk to each other. The teacher turns around, and it's quiet as a mouse. The boys, of course, donft do such things. Now to the sophomore rows. This is a studious class and the very best in school according to the class members. If you look at Herman, you will see him with his nose in a book. Now to the back of the room. Carolyn Webber runs across a very hard problem, So up to the tcachcrfs desk she goes asking permis- sion to speak to Virginia. CHard problems are always a good eXcuse.J When she returns to her seat, you - will hear heavy feet, and this time itis Gary Hoskins with book, paper, and pencils in hand heading for the teachcr's desk to ask permission to speak to Bill Spicer. New let's have a look at the juniors. A mad rush is made for the board to sign out for the typing room. Miss Hadley shouldnft give them so much work to do. Then Lewis Buck decides he forgot to tell Jack Kingen something, so he trots to the teacher's desk. After he returns to his seat, Carol Pyles speaks to Eileen Burkholder. She has her shorthand book but would a discussion of shorthand be that amusing, girls? We must not fox pt to see what the dignified seniors are doing. One of the most familiar sights is Junior Moody's desk piled high with books, but surrounded with all this learning, he still finds an occasional chance to pester someone. Of course, Eugene Bogner goes back to talk to Bill Hosler. Marily has trouble keeping her pencils sharpened. We understand Why, Marilyn. Now itfs quiet and everyone seems to be settled for deep study. --E. Burkholder ek fl 'ff COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT T X ,fx f' s ,Q X N! 4 -I 7i4f1L.-f This year in our commercial department'we have shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, stenography, the school paper and the annual taught by Miss Hadley, and general business taught by Mr. Koenig. Our typewriting class of sixteen juniors have been busy composing themes, taking One, five, and ten minute timings, setting up letters, also newspaper, outline and tabulation work. All want to reach the minimum goal of to words with 5 errors or less on a ten-minute timing. Some have at this point reached the ES-word goal. The stenography class has learned to run the mimeograph, the duplicator, typed the paper, the annual, school programs, a recipe book, did some filing besides trying to raise our typing speed at least five words each six weeks and attain a lOO to 120 speed in shorthand. T The bookkeeping class of twelve juniors and seniors have learned to keep a complete set of books for the proprietor and a partnership business. Some of the problems gave us a headache, but the correct answers turned up usually. . The general business class of sixteen students studied transportation, communication, banking, sell- ing and buying materials, and things of everyday living. With Mr. Koenig as teacher, the class is very interesting. A contest was held May 7 and 8 in the shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping classes. The results were: Typewriting I--Gloria McConnell, speed award, Richard Bogner, accuracy award, Typewriting II--Laveta Johnson, speed award, Marilyn Streitmatter, accuracy awardg Shorthand I--Ida Greeneg Shorthand II--Joyce Jury, Bookkeeping--Jeanne Wallace, V-W - V-J..-Y, ,Y , , ZYPING ROGM FRONT ROW: Jeanne Wallace, Jean Keaton, Carol Pyles MIDDLE ROW: Mary Jane Welch, Joyce Jury, Laveta Johnson, Marilyn Streitmatter, Lewis Buck BACK ROW: Bill Bryden, Angeline Gries, Bill Powell, ' Miss Hadley, Mary Jane Welch, Mary Mutta, Robert Griswold 4 SGUDY HALL Each student has his own desk here and studies when he or she has no classes to attend.

Eugene Bogner and Roger Downey Mr Glen Turnbull, director of the play, and his cast gave us a play of the old West. It all started when Ambrose Groves and Bert Miller, a couple of would-be vaudeville comedians, were crossing the desert, heading California way. But right out in the middle of the desert, they were booted off the train and onto their own, because someone had picked their pockets--tickets, money, and all. So they blew into Dead Man's Gulch, the wildest, wooliest, roughest snot in the whole West. They got mistaken for the West's most fearless cowpunchers, and what a time did these Easteners have trying to act brave. To save himself from serious trouble, Ambrose talks the outlaws into marrying Anne, Nancy, and Beth,and the girls were not interested. But Posie wanted to be married so she drags off henpecked Danfl for herself. The weddings were finished by force, though it all ended happily.

FUTUBE FARMERS OF AMERICA fCOH'Ti The boys'attending this camp are as follows: Clifford Gill, presidentg Raymond Ehnle, junior presidentg Bob Bennett, secretaryg Bill Spicer, Reporterg and Harry Mcintyre, Sentinel. ' , As a community service activity, the chapter co-operated with Andy Harris, Farm Adviser, and the Marshall-Putnam Farm Bureau in the sale of rat and mouse poison to farmers in the community. The boys also made available to people in the community a large variety of garden seeds. One of the most interesting field trips of the year was to Chicago to spend a day at the International Livestock Expedition. Not only did the boys dee some of the best livestock in the world, but they also had the opportunity tp wit- ness the meat packing industry in action by going through the Swift and Company plant. Sparland was host to the Section S F.F.A. Parliamentary Prodedure Contest which was held March 21, 1951. Twertyuone schools had teams which participated in this contest. Sparland was also host to the Tri-County F.F.A Judging Contest on April 26. Beef cattle, dairy Cattle, poultry and eggs, sheep and hogs were judged by approximately two hundred boys from eight F-F.A. Chapters, in the tri-counties. One of the greatest and most successful enter- tainment activities sponsored by the F.F.A. was a Donkey Basketball Game. This event was held in the Sparland gymnasium on Uanuary 15. There WHS one of the largest crowds ever seen in the gym so the F.F.A. boys made a very nice profit. ,Q - --.,.. --- - ,, - W .,- -.--nf-. --f , --:,-f- .7 ---Y--'Af--... ,W - - - -..all -f.. -....... - ... -..- --... --- ----M --1 FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA QC3N TD A summary of the yearfs project work for the Sparland FsF.A.

In October the F.H.A. had a weiner roast in Art Kelenback's backwoods with fun by everyone. Ror a Christmas party, December 20, we exchanged gifts, had refreshments, and games. At one meeting, Mrs. Hildred Wilson gave a talk on hair dressing and the care of hair. Mrs. Smith gave a demonstration and showed us Peggy Newton cosmetics for the November meeting. Mrs. B arnes decorated some cakes and explained to us just how to do it. Miss Jane Roe from the Public Service from Joliet demonstrated a broiler meal on the range and we got to eat the meal afterwards. Ten girls, Mrs. Wallace, and Mrs. McCormick attended the F.H.A. Rally at Granville on March 3. Kaye Hoskins and Wilma slutz represented Sparland in the style show here. on April M, the F.H.A. girls served the Tri- County Banquet to the superintendents, principals, and men teachers.

Mrs. Comrtock, a Westinghouse representative demonstrated to as the care of the new electric range in the Home Econo '.S room, as well as cooked us a delicious meal. p The girls were requested to have a home reject each semester and Mrs. Mccormick visited in each one of the girl's homes. We can recommend this course as very interesting. HOME ECONOMICS Each girl completes two home projects during the school year. Some projects this year were: Construct- ing a cotton garmentg embroidering pillow cases and dresser scarves, making pompom rugs, croohetingg knit- ting, baking cakes, pies, and cookies, and interior decorating.
