F e 1 9 3 b RE E DOR A STUDENT PUBLICATION of ADAIR COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Adair, Illinois Prepared by THE SENIOR CLASS and Published May 22, 1936 Editor-in-chief-- Business Managers Ralph Snyder Geraldine Wilson Maxine Graham It I3 the general purpose of all high school year-books or annuals (in this case the Reedor ) to depict in picture and 3tory, as many happenings of the pa3t year as will someday be the backbone of our SCKOOI.DAY MEMORIES. Realizing that our high school days will be one of the gayest memories of all our life's do- ings, we have tried to establish a medium of pre- serving these for ourselves and every futuremember of Adair Community High School. This being Adair's very first publication of a school annual we sincerely hope that it will prove worthy of its purpose and merit its own per- petuation by the students of the years to come. Also, we ( the 1936 REEDOR Staff and SENIOR CLASS)wish to express our sincere appreciation for the guidance and services of our teachers so gen- erously lendedthroughout the year.To the merchants and other citizens ofthc community who gave manual and financial aid, we are especially grateful. INTRODUCTION It has always been the desire of the class of '36 to do something v hich no other class before us has done. About the first of January webecame in- spired to fulfull this desire--yes, a high school annual or year-book. After a series of meetings and ‘‘rag-chewing contests we gathered together and completed enough plans to get started. host of our problems to be thrashed our v cro temporary--that is, they concerned the school year of 1935 - 36 only and then will vary from year to year. However, there was one problem came before us which could not be considered a temporary one— namely THE TITLE. We realized that whatever name we chose would, in all probability, be the christ- ened name of Adair’s ycar-boolc for many years to come. So, we set out to choose one which would be fitting and. lasting for a book that was to repre- sent our school and it3 alumni or community folk. As you now see we have selected for our title “The REEDOR named in honor of John Reedy, the founder of “Rccdyvillc’1 now known as Adair, Perhaps the following quotation will suffice to explain more in detail—. • ADAIR (Rccdyvillc) ••'Although this place was platted under the name of Rccdyvillc, which has never been changd , the location is better known as Adair,which is the name given the post-office. But this can not be . said to bo the true name of the town...The village t wqb laid out in August 1870,by John Rccdyand Jacob Grim...That part of the plat west of the C.B.

Later the Burling- ton raiLroed changed the name of the postoffice to ''.AdaM” and the entire village later became better known tv this same name, Adair', rather than Ree- cijT'iJIe . TO ’HE SPIRIT OF PIONEERING AND TO JOHN REEDY VJF DEDICATE THE VERY FIRST AND PIONEER ISSUE OF THE AD IR COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL YE'RBOOK— THEREEDOR.” May the good from it and its spirit of achievement live long in our community. F ACULTY A TRIBUTE TO OUR TEACHERS We Seniors aren't poetic; We wish only to write some li.es. To show our faithful teachers. We consider them true finds. Oh I Mr. Walker, we come thanking you. For a very wise and just rule,- Your untiring efforts and ability, too. Has helped to enlighten our School. Miss Hankins is a good .authority, She’s our class advisor, too. I'm sure it's’ agreed by the majority’ That those like her are few. And now for Mis's Wyles, We wish to add some lines. For we know that in commercial v ork Above all others, she shines. When Hr..Landis teaches science and lab. You feci that it's been an asset; For on each one he keeps close tab. No one could help but pass it. And now for Miss McCutchan, Last but Oh, not least. For of her we'll all be thinking; When our school days have ceased. And now dear teachers, to each and all. We bid you a parting adieu, Wo know the benefits that we have reaped Will always see us through. . FACU L TY W. F. Bunnell Band Director Kaella Conserv. Toledo 0. Shaddock Sc. of Music Omaha Nebr.

Silly young Freshmen indeed! With nothing«in their brains but a lot of nonsense and nothing in thoir opcnactions but a lot of gig lcs, yet such is the fact;I was a out to use the adjec- tive deplorable, but loft it out,because it is re- ally a fa.t on which we arc go be congratulated. That a lot of silly, empty-headed, rattle-brained youngsters coula ever have developed into yonder noble, h ndsome,thoughtful and wire-appearing Sen- iors, is indeeu something to be thankful for. Some of us have beer, togethcrsinco kindergar- ten days. Those startin' out in the year of 32, ac freshmen wore: Edn-.

To these w can only say, w have weathered a good many storms togeth r andhav. found school life not all a bed of r03es. I wish I could picture to you this class a3 I visualiz it now, when it fir t entered tills hall of learning.

In the first v; k of school w had a class me ting of all the Fr oilmen, under the supervision of our class advisor, Mr, Markley, At this meeting wc cel ctcd, THE 1 INFER NEVER QUITS AND THE QUIT- TER NEVER WINS”, as our class mette, and The Amer- ican Beauty Rose as our class flow.rp At this m sting vr also r 1-ct -d Purol- and Gr Id as our colors, offic re .1 ctd r r- : Pr :id nt----Lula Mae Hammond, Vic ?r rxd. nt------Beryl Murphy, S c- r.tary and Tr - aeur .r--Wanda K mdon. ,r had the lienor of having 'anda Herndon and Robert All n e- 1-ictsd as the school yell I-adore.

Me didn’t know each other as well then as we do now. Ye hadn't found out then that Wanda Herndon runs just as hard as shecan the moment she catches sirht of a hoy. (We don’t say which way.) One characteristic, however, which we learned very early in our career, is that Dorothy Riggins just adores spiders, bugs, and especially rice. Alexander 3ighod for more worlds to concuer. How i.iuch more noble is her ambition. ,J0h, give me, she exclaims, a few more hugs to classify, and a few more mice to watch. .During our Freshman year onl two of our mem- beis made scholarship letters. They were: Jeanette Sullivan and Edna Mae Allen. An Operetta was given by the High School in the year of 1902, and from our class the follow- ing tool: part in it, Perle C-aye Sauers, Lula , laniond, Meryl Murphy, and Jeanette Sullivan. m tiiis first year of our rork together we ■ore saac enoc oy the doatli of one of our members J.aVorn joncar. Thus ended our freshman year. 3LC01TD YEAR OP AMVEITTTJRE OF THE � 36 MRS In the fall of 19o3 the Class of '36 returned to their studies at dear old A. C. 3.,no lrnn-er as Mreahnen not Mnowxn iu3t hat it is all about, )ut as oopao ,or63, tmnking they ’'new everythin'1, a lout everything. ith . r. arkiey as our advisor for tne second year and the followin'” members in the class: Edna Mae and Robert Allen;Ruth ’aldner; John Eerglund;Melvin Ohenoweth;Robert Pxnley; Mar- ine Graham; Jolin and Lula Mae Hammond; anda ern- don; Delr.ar and George Lovell;Iola ilanyx; Paul Mc- Cartney; eryl Murxhy; Dorothy Rig-ms; Perle Gaye jauers; Anna -cudder;0ver$’ rihmber-er;Glade Smith; Jeanette Sullivan; Ralph Snyder; Pius bherley; and craldme il3on. The officers elected forthis year were; Pres. John Hammond; Vice Pres. Ralph Snyder; Secy, and Treas. Robert Allen; it seems the boys decided to run the class. One of the main things the Sophomores look forward to is the initiation of the Freshmen, for it seems that every Sophomore Class wants to get revenge for the things they have gone through to get to,what they think, such an advanced position, and the poor Freshmen have to suffer Af er.s a iecting the Frosh to about a week ofuncomfortable circumstances we gave them a party initiations were performed andthe Class of 37 was pronounced qualified forfuture highschool agonies. ■ We like to credit our thorough seasoning with the way that class has weathered the storm. Later our party was returned by the Freshmen, The boys going out for base bass this y®ar were Delmar Lovell; Glade Smith;Ralph R° ert Allen, and George Lovell. Delmar and Glade re- ceived letters. Not from girls, as seems to be the case of late years, but for playing base ball. One can� t play base ball all the time and it seems that the boys must take pa? :Lvai 6 La? the following boys took up basket ball. Delmar Love11,Glade Smith; Beryl Murphy, andRalph Snyder, Glade received his letter for this sport. The G. A.

During the year two members werelost from th6 class,they were Beryl Murphy and Ovorn Shinberger, Our Junior year was looked upon asone of hap- piness, Somehow, we seemed to feel that the hard- est work was over and now--well wc could be a lit- tle dignified if wc wished. Tho class was slightly decreased the first semester, having an enrollment of sixteen; Edna Mae Allen, Robert Allen, Ruth Baldnor, Charles Bates, Orthaleno Bates, Melvin Chenoweth, Maxine Graham, John Hammond, Lula Mae Hammond, Wanda Horndon,Delmar Lovell, Dorothy Rig- gins, Anna Scudder,Ralph Snyder,Jeanette Sullivan, and Geraldine Wilson.

Our Declamation contestants,this yearwere Joanetto Sullivan,Geraldine Wilson, Dorothy Riggins, Robert Allen, and Pcrlo Gayo Sauers. Jeanette won first intho girls humorous division and Dorothy won sec- ond. Robort Allen won third in the boys division. Geraldine won second in the firls vocal and Pcrlo Gayo first in piano. Although no one placod at the county,wo considered ourselves fortunate inwinning so many local places. G. A. A.was continued this year with Jeanette Sullivan winning a first year award; Lula Mao Ham- mond, a first year award; Maxine Graham, a socond year -ward; Wanda Herndon,a second year award; and Pcrlo Gayc Sauers, a socond year award.

The programs were little i;Eo-Peeps;i dressed inorchid and pinlr cotton dress- es, and the nut cups were representing the Three Little Pigs. In return forthis banquet the Seniors enterta?.ned us with a weiner roast at Spring Lake, where a very lovely time was enjoyed by all. Ir.our Senior year we carried out the greatest achievement, in our school life--the publishing of the “Reader'1, With skillful editors, business man- agers, and an efficient sponsor we put out an An- nual. There were nineteen members enrolled,Edna Mae Allen,Robert Allen, Ruth Ealdner,Melvin Chenoweth, Robert Finley, Maxine Graham, John Hammond, Lula Mae Hammond, Wanda Herndon, Delmar Lovell, George Lovell, Iola Kanyx, Dorothy Riggins, Perle Gaye Sauers, Anna Scudder, Glade Smith, Ralph Snyder, and Jeanette Sullivan and Geraldine V'ilson, This year it was decided uoon to let the boys --shall we say “run“ the class so John Hammond was chosen as President,Ralph Snyder as Vice-President and Robert Allen as Secrotary and Treasurer.

Guide: This year the Reedor appears for the first time. It is an endeavor to represent interesting events and auxiliaries of school life. It had been the purpose of the class of 1936 to present our faculty, students and activities in the relation- ship that they are generally known in order that our book may be as natural as possible in the as- sembling of pictures and write ups. We hope that we have succeeded somewhat in our purpose. The task of editing a yearbook seems at times to be a most discouraging type of work, but it,too has its pleasures and rewards, v'e have come far 3hort of our ideal, but we have tried to do our best, to set a standard for succeeding classes, that they may profit by our experience. If so, our mistakes will not have been in vain. Years from now, when one of us looks through this book, if it recalls the pleasant memories of teachers, students, classes,and clubs, accomplish- ed our purpose. We wish to extend our very sincere thanks to Miss Wyles, Miss Hankins,Miss McCutchan,Mr Walker, and Mr. Landis for their unceasing efforts and willingness to help in every way possible. We also wish to thank our advertisers, and each person who ha3 contributed in any way to this book. It was through their generousity that we were able to sell the book to students at a greatly reduced price. Thanks again. We appreciate your interest and support.
