SENIOR HISTORY In the fall 1948, forty-eight promising freshmen entered the doors of Argenta High School to begin their high school career. Elected to lead their class under the guidance of their sponsors, Miss Dorothy Finger and Mr. Donald Rocke, were Walter Doane, president; Larry Reeser, vice-president; and Betty Ater, secretary-treasurer. The class was well represented in all activities. Sixteen freshmen girls were initiated into F.H.A. with Elma Edwards elected as treasurer. Thirteen boys were members of F.F.A. The class had thirteen girls in girls’ chorus and three boys in boys’ chorus, but only one member in band. There were ten sportsminded boys in the class, eight being on the basketball teams and two on the baseball team. One of the cheerleaders, Betty Ater, was from the class. The queen attendants were Elma Edwards and Carol Wiseman. The next year found the class with forty-one members. The officers were Jerry Groves, president; Jim Harrison, vice-president; Larry Reeser, secretary- treasurer; and Mr. James Edmondson and Mr. Donald Rocke, sponsors. Fourteen sophomores were in chorus, fifteen girls belonged to F.H.A., and seven boys were in F.F.A. The class had seven of its members on the basketball team and five on the baseball team. Again during this year, one of the cheerleaders, Lois Thomas, was from the class of 1952. Elma Edwards and Carol Rhodes were the queen attendants at the annual homecoming. The junior year went fast for the thirty students who were now “upper classmen”. The officers for the year were Carol Rhodes, president; Elma Ed- wards, vice-president; and Betty Ater, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Pauline Verner and Mr. John Craddock were chosen as sponsors to lead the class through such important events as the magazine sales and the prom. Fourteen girls and nine boys were in F.H.A. and F.F.A., respectively; and several members of the class were in mixed chorus. Once again the class had several boys in basket- ball, baseball and track, while Lois Thomas and Pat Fahay did their part at the games by leading cheers. The class was proud to have Jean Miller and Cor- rine Myers as homecoming attendants. The class play Take Your Medicine” was presented on April 13, 1951, under the direction of Mrs. Frances Freeman. Members of the cast included Harold White, Beverly Seamands, Donnal Davis, Dorma Poling, Elma Edwards, Judy McKinley, Carol Wiseman, Harold Good, Walter Doane, Corrine Myers, Pat Fahay, Shirley Grubbs, and Jerry Groves. On May 11, 1951, the Junior- Senior banquet, given in honor of the seniors, was held at the Hotel Orlando in Decatur. Bud Hammond’s orchestra provided music for dancing. The class started the last lap of its journey with thirty-one members. Miss Doris Hangartner and Mr. Kenneth Wilkey were the sponsors. Officers were president, Carol Wiseman; vice-president, Harold Good; and secretary-treasurer Howard VanFossan. Again, as in previous years, the class was well represented in F.H.A., F.F.A., and mixed chorus. Lois Thomas and Pat Fahay retained their positions as cheerleaders. Several of the boys were active in basketball, baseball, and track. On October 26 and 27, 1951, the class play, Grandad Steps Out”, was pre- sented under the direction of Mrs. Frances Freeman. Those in the cast were Larry Reeser, Beverly Seamands, Shirley Grubbs, Elma Edwards, Larry Flaugher, Carol Wiseman, Jean Miller, Joan McKinney, Haro.d Good, Jerry Groves, Pat Fahay, Donna Sigmon, and Harold White. Several honors we e given to students of the class. Judy McKinley was editor of the Pilot and Beverly Seamands served as the assistant editor. The Argenois was headed by two other seniors, Elma Edwards and Corrine Myers. Carol Wiseman reigned as the homecoming queen with Larry Flaugher as the king. Larry Reeser and Elma Edwards were presidents of F.F.A. and F.H.A., respectively. Elma Edwards also received the D.A.R. award. Beverly Seamands was named vale- dictorian and Shirley Grubbs was salutatorian of the 1952 graduating class.

SENIOR PROPHECY “This is your announcer, Harold Good, on TV station WACHS, ready to telecast the exploits of those well-known jet pilots, Richard Hallendorff and Larry Reeser. Hear them relate astounding experiences after guiding the r ‘Reeserdorff Jet’ in mad whirls around the world.” But first, let us tell you about that new 1967 super, super, product, ‘Hairasyouwait’, recently patented by Mr. Harvard Van Fossan. Yes, folks, it’s here! It’s hair! A product that will grow hair while you wait. Take heed men! Rub it on a bald head or a bare chest and experience an amazing transforma- tion! It comes in black, brown, henna, blond, iron gray, and silver white to fit your individual needs.” “Now here are Mr. Hallendorff and Mr. Reeser to tell you about their adventurous trip!” “Thank you, Mr. Good. Our first whirl was terminated in Honolulu, Hawaii, where we were met by two gorgeous hula hula girls, Patricia Fahay and Juanita Williams. You can certainly feast your eyes on some beautiful scenery there. Oh happy daze!” “While engaging our interest in some of the outstanding views on the island, we came across another old friend, Larry Flaugher. Larry was recently crowned the Coconut King of Hawaii. He secretly confided that his chosen queen would be Miss Shirley Hupp.” “We regretfully left the ‘Island of Paradise’, and with little mishap arrived in Sidney, Australia, 5' 30 later. We were quite hungry upon our arrival there, so we set out in search of a restaurant. We were not long in spying Donnal Davis. Don is now a very wealthy man, having made his fortune selling Kangarooburgers! After giving Don our hearty congratulations and supplying ourselves with his tasty Kangarooburgers, we again entered our ‘Ree.-erdorlf’ and headed toward Japan.” “Before reaching our destination, we spied a small raft below us bobbing on the waves. We immediately dropped in altitude for closer inspection. What do you suppose we viewed? There was Robert Fulk frantically waving to us! We instantly set our ‘Reeserdorff’ down on the choppy waters and rescued poor Bob. Imagine our surprise when we found that he was trying to get away from it all because his troupe of trained termites had gotten into his hair. (My, my!) After rushing Bob to a hospital in Tokyo, we found his condition was not serious. The termites had died of exposure!” “On our way out of the hospital we saw the cutest little nurse. You guessed it, none other than Elma Edwards! Elma always wanted to be a nurse. She even played a very convincing part in a high school play back in 1950.” “She told us that another old acquaintance, Professor William C. Millhom Jr., was also residing in Tokyo. It stems as though Bill is a psychiatrist for the fairer sex. He gives some good advice to you winsome wenches, so listen! ‘Men may come and men may go, but catch one before they do!’ ” “Oh, yes! Our next sojourn was spent in Russia! What a different place it is since Stalin’s death. Betty Ater and Judy McKinley have taken advantage of the Russians’ freedom. They are now teaching them the pleasure and luxury of chewing bubble gum.” “After wishing the girls a bubbling success, we directed our course full speed ahead for mysterious India. In Calcutta we were feeling quite adven- turous. Naturally we decided to visit a fortune-teller's mystic abode. And did we ever find one! ‘Madame Corky’s Candid Council for Cultured Characters'!

George Hiogins WREN IT CAME TO STuoy vG; HE Dion't. Joanne McKi nne y she knew how to take a JOKE. Miss Corrine Myers has won world renown for her fabulous reading- She sent us on our way with this little quip: 'You are destined for deepest Africa Where jungle drums will sound, And there you’ll find a missionary Who will show you all around’.’’ “Sure enough, we hadn't been in Africa but a few minutes when we heard the beating rhythm of the Saber Dance. As we listened, a mellow chanting of voices was also detected. We moved closer and saw a swaying congregation of natives being led in song by a small figure. We suddenly recognized the mis- sionary leader. It was Betty Snyder! Betty hailed us and upon our request she showed us some of the details of her work. She wearily exclaimed that the most tedious task that she had yet performed was teaching the natives how to suck cider through a straw!” But since that was not a difficult feat for us, we thought it best to push ahead on our journey.” “Women, wine, and dance! Ah yes, Paris, France! We headed for the hottest spot in town which was the Paris Palace owned by Mr. George Higgins. He was featuring those two exotic dancers, Yvonne and Nannette, alias Lois Thomas and Joan McKinney. After the girls’ twelfth and final encore we re- luctantly left the wonderful and inspiring atmosphere of gay Paree.” With music still ringing in our tars, we blissfully winged our way on down to Italy. Here we planned to look up our old buddy, Jerry Groves, better known in Italy as Jock Grovianii. He composed the great concerto, ‘Hiccups of the Beavers’. To our great disappointment we found that he was on tour in Alcatraz.” “When we reached Spain, we decided to discuss Jerry’s predicament with George War moth, who is a lovelorn counselor, experienced in giving good adv.ee. Our plans were changed, however, when we found George busy training young bullfighters. He had one very promising young pupil, Walter Doane, by name. In fact, Walter is doing very well in this field. At least it certainly appeared that way when we asked for comments from his pretty wife, the former Carol Wiseman! Her one comment was ‘El es grande!’.” “We were still trying to register Carol’s last statement when we bade the happy couple good-bye. But our thoughts were soon directed to the residue of our adventure that included South America, Brazil . . . and Beverly Seamands. Yes, Beverly has made quite a name for herself in the last few years. You see, she is now the leader and reviver of that warlike group of women, the Amazons! During our short stay in Brazil we found that one of her devoted and most trusted followers was Jean Miller!” “We also met with another member of this female population who looked rather peculiar but still familiar. With a little investigation we found that the culprit was Carroll Sarver! After a few forceful questions Carroll finally admitted that he was just a poor newspaper reporter trying to do his job. It seems as though his managing editor had instructed him to get an inside story on the Amazons or else! After hearing his story we sympathized with Carro l, but still agreed that his work might prove to be very interesting.” “Our next stop, which was in Cuba, seemed to be the most enjoyable and relaxing. We had in advance secured tickets to that most famed musical tragedy, 'North Atlantic’! It was starring the original lead, Harold White'. As you well know. Mr. White is one of the most celebrated actors of our time. This was amply proved by that most exact article about him, written by the famous theatrical critic, Miss Donna Sigmon.

This last visit was made in a wonderful, wealthy, hospitable, but rather windy state, Texas! Within this vast territory we came across Shirley Grubbs. Shirley was engaged as a scrubwoman on the fifteenth floor of one of Texas’ remarkable buildings. She surely worked her way up in a hurry, didn’t she, considering that she had to start at the bottom every day! Later, however, we discovered that Shirley was really a very wealthy woman. She had just taken this job to get away from the monotonous routine of cal- culating her increasing fortum !” “As we silently but swiftly sped homeward through the darkening dusk, we both sat deep in thought. Just as the bright lights of Argenta came into view, we both decided that our trip had been very successful!” “Thank you!” JUNIOR CLASS The class began the year of 1951-52 by electing Joyce Stringer, president; Ronald Reeves, vice-president; and Shirley Banning, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Pauline Verner and Mr. Donald Sullivan were the sponsors. Joyce Stringer, Margaret Smith, Lloyd Millhorn and Carolvn Henderson repre- sented the class on the ARGENOIS staff; while Ronald Reeves, Margaret Smith, Joyce Stringer, Oletta Easley, Lloyd Millhorn, and Carolyn Henderson served on the PILOT staff. The junior-senior prom, the magazine sales, and the play were the important highlights of the year. The play “Henry’s Hired Aunt” was given April 3 and 4 under the direction of Mr. Edward Fremgen. The cast included Shirley Banning, Elaine McKee, Roberta Gross, Marlene McConkey, Carolyn Henderson, Joyce Stringer, Mar- garet Smith, Gary Walker, Ronald Reeves, Harold Kaufman, Lloyd Millhorn, and Harold Kirby. The juniors were well represented in girls’ chorus, mixed chorus, and band. Six of the eight octet members were juniors: Lloyd Millhorn, Ronald Reeves, Elaine Me- Kee, Gloria Jones, Roberta Gross, Janice McKinney. Gloria Jones and Joyce Stringer were also active in ensemble. Janice McKinney and Oletta Easley w'ere chosen queen attendants. Ronald Reeves and Bill McPheron were on the basketball squad and Ronald was elected basketball captain. SOPHOMORE CLASS Following the 1951 summer vacation, thirty-five students entered the familiar halls of Argenta High as sophomores. Early in the school year Norman Fombelle was elected president; Marjorie Noe, vice-president; and Billy Ater, secretary- treasurer. The class also chose Miss Lillian Miller and Mr. William Crawford as class sponsors. The class had a good representation in the music classes, with several in both band and chorus. Kenneth hrye was a member of the octet; while Linda Agee, Norma Wagner, and Nancy Kopp were ensemble substitutes. Several sophomore boys played on the A” and “B” basketball squads. Linda Agee and Virginia Hupp were also cheerleaders. The two queen attendants chosen from the sophomore class were Janet Jones and Lois Reeves. Six boys were active in F.F.A. and fifteen girls in F.H.A. Several sophomores were attracted to the publication staffs. Billy Ater, Kenneth Frye, Marjorie Noe, Norman Fombelle, and Norma Wagner were members of the Student Council. An assembly program, faculty-sophomore basketball game, and the sophomore play, given in May under the direction of Miss Lillian Miller, were among the year’s activites. The class motto was “Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.” Green and white were the selected colors and the carnation was the flower. FRESHMAN CLASS In September, 1951, thirty-two freshmen—eighteen boys and fourteen girls_ entered A.H.S. Since that date the following have transferred to other schools or have dropped out: Yvonne Sinclair and Shirley Spencer. At the beginning of the second semester, James Matthews of Kentucky enrolled. The following were chosen as class officers: President, Robert Anderson; Vice-president, Jerry Thomas; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Jerry Mahoney; and Sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Goreham. The class has been quite active in all student activities. Billy Turner and Lois Parks served as representatives on the Student Council.

When the Illinois State Convention of Student Councils was held in Chicago on April 19, 1951, the student body elected Elma Edwards and Carolyn Henderson to attend. The council members were elected by vote of the student body and classes. When school began in the fall, the council organized and elected the follow- ing officers: Elma Edwards, president; Jerry Groves, vice-president; Ronald Reeves, secretary-treasurer; and Miss Lillian Miller and Mr. James Edmondson, advisors. Among the various projects begun were the improving of the awarding of activity letters, devising a constitution, and sponsoring assembly programs. A committee of three people was appointed by the president of the council to set up a ‘‘Lost and Found” department. The Student Council members worked hard to make the council a success and to get it started on the “right track”.

Miss Dorothy Finger VOCAL MUSIC The year of 1951-52 was filled with vocal musical activities provided by the mixed chorus, girls’ chorus, ensemble, and the octet. An entirely new form of entertainment for Argenta High School, a minstrel, was presented on February 1, 1952. The three end men were played by Roy Suzewitz, Kenneth Frye, and Jerry Groves. Pat Fahay, Beverly Seamands and Jean Miller took the parts of the three end girls. Solos and duets were sung by Roy Suzewitz, Bill Turner, Larry Lukenbill, Jean Miller, Donna Sigmon, Joyce Stringer, and Beverly Seamands. The spring months were busy for the music groups. The District Contest, in which Argenta participates annually, was held at Gibson City on March 15. The ensemble and soloists competed with many other schools, and Bill Turner and Larry Lukenbill were first place winners. The chorus attended the District Contest on April 5. The ensemble and octet furnished music for numerous oc- casions during the year. Members presiding over the chorus groups were Jerry Groves, president; Pat Fahay, vice-president; and Ronald Reeves, secretary. BAND NEWS The Argenta High School band began the 1951-52 season with forty-four members under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Wilkey. After losing a member, Albert Reitzel, and gaining a member, Patricia Snyder, the total remained the same. The band members chose the following officers: President, Shirley Ban- ning; Vice-President, Carolyn Henderson; and Secretary-Treasurer, Nancy Kopp. The band began the year by participating in the Education Week program. The Christmas Concert was presented on December 16, which included Christ- mas carols played by an ensemble of non-high school pupils. A group of twelve members from the high school band played the accompaniment for the minstrel show. The annual spring concert was given in May. The band moved into tie new soundproof band room under the stage of the new building in April. Some of the new equipment for the room were risers that would accommodate a fifty-piece band.

The play was unusual in that the setting was that of a hospital room. Harold White, a most stubborn and unco-operative patient was quite the opposite from the sweet old codger, Walter Doane, who enjoyed being pampered by the pretty nurses, Carol Wiseman and Judy McKinley. Dorma Poling, as head nurse and Elma Edwards as special nurse, too, were very convincing in their roles. Pat Fahay, a nosey old maid in search of a man, was a natural for her part. Others, who also deserve their share of applause, were Beverly Seamands, Donnal Davis, Harold Good. Corrine Myers, and Jerry Groves. But without Shirley Grubbs as the dumb, awkward undergraduate nurse who constantly appeared on the scene to call out “temperchure, temperchure,” the play would have been less of a success. “GRANDAD STEPS OUT” The fast moving comedy, “Grandad Steps Out,” given by the senior class on two successive nights on October 26 and 27, was a much enjoyed and well cast play. While some members of the cast were making their first stage appearance, all did excellent in their parts. Larry Reeser played the difficult role of the grandfather. A shy young teenager was Larry Flaugher whose first date turned out to be not with one girl, but—with three cute, dressed-alike triplets, Carol Wiseman, Jean Miller, and Joan McKinney. No one but Jerry Groves could have done the part of Big Jim Mahoney “from out in Arizony”. Beverly Seamands and her niece, Elma Ed- wards, were convincing in their characterizations as was Harold Good, the boy next-door. Shirley Grubbs handled well the part of Tilly, the country maid, as did Harold White, the over-iealous and know-it-all detective. Pat Fahay again scored a hit as the snoopy, giggly maid. Much credit for the success of the play is due Mrs. Freeman, the director, who has this to say, “Of all the plays 1 have produced, none has ever received more favorable comments than Grandad Steps Out!” HOMECOMING DATE..................................................
