I KEITH GETSCHMAN University of Wisconsin Athletics Phy. Ed. Civics Science Mr. Getschman is our athletic coach. He has been at Stillman Valley three years. Stillman Valley participates -in football, basketball, and track. He also teaches science, civics and physical ed. The experiences of athletes in inter- scholastic games are an important part of their education. I ,o LOREN HUBBELL Macalester College Instrumental Music Can you imagine Stillman without Hub? He has just completed his 23rd year at S. V. H. S. This year he moved into a new room, formerly the tool room of the old shop. Here he gave about 100 music students lessons each week. Both 'Hub' and the students like this new location. Can you visualize what his work has meant to this community? MARY LAWRIE Whitewater State Teachers College Commercial Library Room Z5 at the head of the stairs is always a center of activity. This is the commercial room where Mrs. Lawrie teaches shorthand, typing and business practice. Here we truly find that practice makes perfect. Her ready wit and even temperament make these classes a pleasant part of our school experience. 6 MABEL MACKLIN U Northern Illinois State Teachers College English History Phy. Ed. English and history classes convene under the direction of Mrs. Macklin. She also was our class advisor. Do you remember all our money making activities and then the "Prom" and "Banquet" while juniors? GEORGE A. MANUS University of Dubuque University of Colorado University of Illinois North- western Science Math Driver Ed. Everyday Mr. Manus can be seen on the streets or roads near Stillman teach- ing Driver Training. He also enjoys work- ing with the Grade Boys in athletics. Usually he carries a kodak to catch any snap that might be used for our annual. He believes that each day every class should give some- thing new and worthwhile to each student. BEATR ICE NUPPENAU Northern Illinois State Teachers College University of Wisconsin Home Economics Phy. Ed. Ahnost every girl in school belongs to the F.H.A.

Among the games played were, basketball, check- ers, chess, dominoes, and ping pong. Tournaments were planned for each game, the winners were given awards.

When in course of school events, it becomes necessary for the Senior Class to dissolve the educational bonds which have connected it to the other classes, and to assume the duties of citizenship for which their school life has prepared them, a decent respect to the opinion of the other classes requires that they should transcribe this history leading up to their grad- uation. We, the Senior Class of 1952., entered the halls of S.V.H.S. in the fall of 1948, feeling a bit apprehensive but eager to begin our higher education. Our class congress elected Donald Parish, sponsor: Mary Ellen Fischer, President: George Glendenning, Vice P1-esidentg Bonnie Hendrickson, Secretary: and John Swanson, Treasurer to govern us during our first session of school. The main event for this year was a Valentine party we gave for the school. As our second session convened, we elected as class officers, Mary Ellen Fischer, President: John Swanson, Vice President: Betty Smith, Secretaryg Bonnie Hendrickson, Treasurerg and Mr. Parish and Mr. Getschman as class sponsors. Our main event was the Christmas Party we gave for the school. As Junior states-men, we began our third session by electing as sponsor Miss Spragueg President, Richard Armourg Vice President, George Glendenningg Secretary, Nonie Fosterg Treasurer, Lois Glendenning. The main event of this year were the Play, Junior-Senior Banquet and the Prom. Taking our honored places as Senior statesmen, we chose Mrs. Macklin s our sponsor. For our governing body we elected BonnirHendrickson, Presidentg Jim Hilliard, Vice President, Carol Vaupel, Secretary: Mary Ellen Fischer, Treasurer. We are looking forward to our Senior trip and Graduation. And for the support of this declaration and with a firm reliance on what the future holds for us, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

'P gf? L '. .5 7 .W . s ...a Prophec Dear Diary, It has been ten years since I've seen any of my former classmates so l've decided to get in my jet plane and see what I can find out about my classmates. May 2 This was the first day of my trip. Today I went to Stillman Valley where I found Glenn Halsne who has become principal of S. V. H. S. Some of the teachers are Nonle Foster who teaches history and Betty Smith who teaches English Lit. I asked Betty if she liked Lit. better than when she was in high school? She admitted she didn't. Both Nonie and Betty were anxious to tell me about their families which fill up their spare time. I left the school and went out South of Stillman where I found George Glendenning who was very busy raising pigs. He had very little time to talk. He did tell me, though, that he was happily married but, not to his school days' sweetheart. May 3 Today I flew out to Cinncinati where I found Freddie Schieble leading a band. Some of the members of his band are David Magnuson, Jim Hilliard and Dick Reiken who are still just as good friends as they were in high school. They have a very find band. Freddie is just as he was In high school. His wife is Donna Herring. May 4 Today as I landed my jet who should come to take care of it but John Swanson. He's still a bachelor and full of fun. lwent into the cafeteria and there I found Mary Ellen Fischer and Bonnie Hendrickson. I found they were co -owners of what they call Homer and Bon's place. May 5 Today I went to New York City. ln New York I heard that Carol Vaupel was a teacher in one of the schools so I decided to go visit her. Carol is a French teacher. She is still unmarried. May 6 Today I flew to a small town on the coast of Maine where I found Gloria Metheny and her husband. I found that Gloria's cook was Reberta Knight. Gloria said she just loves Maine. May 7 I decided I would fly to Florida today. When I arrived in Miami Beach I was greeted with the news that Audrey Hayes had finally caught Dick Amour and they were down here enjoying their honeymoom. At the hotel I met Donna Bolthouse. Donna's husband owns the hotel. She made me feel very much at home. . May 8 Today l flew to New Orleans. At New Orleans l heard Elwyn Sanders was farming just a few miles from there so l flew to his fami. I found that Lois Glendenning and her husband were visiting Elwyn. Lois told me that Carolyn Manus had finally found a man to suit her tastes and had settled down near her old home town. May 9 Today 1 flew to Kentucky to see Allene Blume who has changed her name to Fraley. Allene is the proud mother of twins. May lo Well, I guess, this just about winds up my trlp lt has been so goodto see all my old friends. 1 8 ' Q Svitllmzm Halley mm ff, , uf" -J A 7 XK46 i+::91" ach Christmas season my wife 5 out the stack of last year's istmas cards.

Compliments FOSTER SERVICE STATION BYRON CLEANERS Junction Routes 51-72 Byron, Illinois a I 5, E L "Cheaper by the Dozen" is a true story of the Gilbreth ' E dozen, ranging from Anne, the oldest, down to little Lillian, L the youngest. Mr. Gilbreth tries to teach his children to get ahead by skipping grades, learning French and German while in the bathtub, learning the Morse code etc. He believed silk stockings, nice clothes, dates, pets, pop- ular music, and dancing were all a waste of time and effort. r His growing daughter, Anne, a Senior in high school, i rebels, deciding she has been a wall flower long enough. As a result the family life becomes a turmoil of clashing wills. ln the end Father's purpose for his family is known. This three act comedy, given November 15-16, was di- rected by Neil Simpkins. lt's presentation was acclaimed by some critics to have been the best play ever produced by S. V. H. S. students.

Mixed Choru The music department has had an in- crease in members. The mixed chorus membership reached a total of forty-eight. This group sang for various programs in the fall and at the christmas season. Occasionally, the girls sang without the boys, thus forming a girls' three-part chorus. The latter showed a marked growth in sight reading, phrasing and interpretation of different types ofmusic. From the full chorus developed two special groups that spent extra time on music. One was the double mixed quartet which sang for several community prograrris and out of town for special occasions. The boys' quartet upon request sang for several affairs around town and in neighboring communities. 40 X I .l. J ROW 1: S. Geiger, C. Vaupel, A. Hayes, L. Manus, J. Wills. ROW 2: T. Glendenning, P.

For several years the Stillman Valley area has dreamed of an athletic field with adequate lighting for football, softball, track and community projects. About a year ago the wheels began to roll to make this dream a reality. The land adjoining the high school in the west was purchased from the landowners. Late in the summer of '51 a call was put out by Mr. Roe and Mr. Getschman for help to clear the land. Many boys volunteered for this work and in a few days the fences were cleared, trees cut down, and the ground leveled and plowed. Finally after days of grading and rolling, seed was planted and everyone settled back to watch it grow. Before winter had set in they were rewarded with a thick teen coverin of B h g g grass. y t is time the field was beginning to take on a look of reality. ln the early fall of 1951, a meeting of the representatives of all the clubs and organizations of the area was called to discuss ways to raise funds for the field lights. Mr. Eno Wiltfang and Mr. Parkinson were elected to head this group. They decided to sponsor fund raising activities and to solicit donation in ff mately 35, OOO of this amount had been obtained. The first major problem of the group was to locate poles, which needed to be 75 feet long. After many delays these were located and ordered from a firm in Kansas, and on a cold January morning these arrived and were promptly delivered to the field. h T e next obstacle was to find a way to dig the holes and raise these tremendous poles. As spring approached, these difficulties were overcome and the group put on its final drive for funds to purchase the light fixtures. Some of the activities sponsored were box socials, dances, square dances, plays, a donkey basketball game, and a Carnival and minstrel show. By June the entire area was looking forward to a lighted athletic field for the fall football games. s an e ort to raise 35,000 toward the lights, By January 1, 1952, approxi- Compliments of PARKERS SPORTING GOODS 415 W.

This being the first game of the season, our team was tense and nervous. Our pass defense by our halfbacks was very weak with two lettermen, returning from last year, out. The game ended with a score of 48-7 in Byron's favor. The second game was with Monroe Center, played on Byron's gridiron. The Cardinals took a lead of 6-O in the first quarter. Then, in the second quarter, the Panthers marched downfield to score two touchdowns and an extra point. Stillman managed to score in making the half titne of the Panthers. The roe on the short end The Cardinals third attempt was with Kirkland. Stillrnan the second quarter score 13-12 in favor final gun found Mon- of a 22-13 score. was looking for a tough contest with the Comets because of the past record that Kirkland had. The defense against ground game was very good, but Kirkland's good passing offense made the score 24-6. The Cardinal's fourth game was with Elburn at Byron. In this game our defense was quite effective, against E.lburn's big defensive center coming through the line, making the score O-0 at the half. In the last quarter Ellburn scored 8 points ending the game 8-0 in E.1burn's favor. On Oct. 13, Stillman met with Winnebago in an afternoon game. Sti1ln'1an's offense and defense were very weak: Winnebago made 20 points in the second quarter making the score 20-0 at half tinue. Then in the last quarter Stillxnan rallied 25 points and the game ended with Winnebago leading 40-25. Pecatonica was the next opponent in another afternoon game. Stillman went downfield scoring 7 points in the first quarter. Pec rallied for 6 points in the second quarter, and at half time the score remained at 7-6 in favor of Stillrnan. With Stillman coming within inches of the goal line several times they were pe- nalized heavily. The game ended with Pec out in front 12-7. On Oct. 25, Leaf River had its home coming with Stillman playing. Stillman started off with the first touchdown of the game but Leaf River came back with 26 points at the end of the first quarter. Leaf River also scored another touchdown in the second quarter making the score 32-6 at half time. With Stillman's offense very weak they poured on 12 more points in the second half making the final score 44-12. The last game of the football season was against Genoa on their gridiron. With the ground frozen and about zero degrees: the game began. Genoa was ahead at half time 26-14. Genoa, running end runs and passing, tallied 6 points in the final quarter to end the game with a victory of 32-14. Complinments of HILLIARD'S GARAGE HEIDLINGER ELEVATOR Holcomb, Ill.

They started with a 62-34 defeat from Kirkland and a 58-42 loss to a highly rated Mr. Morris quintet. The Cardinals came back for their first conference game with a win from Ashton 36-28. After winning from Oregon 50-48 in a closely fought game, the team dropped four conference games in a row. ln the first game of the Route 72 Tournament, in one of the best games of the year, Monroe nipped the Cardinals with a long desperation shot from the middle of the floor to win by a score of 62-61. Later Stillman reached the semifinals of the Monroe Center District Tournament by defeating Durand 49-39, only to end the season at the hands of the Monroe Panthers, 64-41.
