Now that we have achieved that goal, we leave behind us our entire history. To begin our first year, we chose the following people to start us in the right direction for our diplomas: Peg Dunaway, president; Judy Conner, vice-president; and Larry Rose, secretary-treasurer. We elected Joanne McCarty and Bob Nixon to represent us on the Student Council; Mrs. Augenstine and Mr. Goreham were elected as our class sponsors. We were quite active in sports such as basketball, cross country, and track. Mso, activities like F.F.A., F.H.A., band, chorus, newspaper and yearbook kept us quite busy. The school elected the majority of the cheerleading staff from the Freshman Class. They were Peg Dunaway, Emily Bowmer, and Skip Klinghammer. Kay Walker and Sandra Buck- ley were queen attendants at the homecoming. Three of our members were to be seen in front of the band—Kay Walker and Joanne McCarty, majorettes, and Don Haworth, drum jor. The next year we came back as Sophomores ready for a second chance at our diplomas. We also elected new officers for the year—Bob Nixon, president; Peg Dunaway, vice- president, Kenneth Boyd, secretary-treasurer; and Don Haworth, class reporter. Our class sponsors were Mr. Kimler and Miss Carriker; our student council members were Peg Dunaway, Bob Nixon, Jim Sanner, Larry Rose, and Judy Conner. Joanne McCarty and Kay Walker were on the cheerleading staff to represent the Sophomores. Even some of our boys were able to play on the A” team in basketball. They also played on the bas ball team. We en- tered just as many activities this year as our first. Joanne McCarty and Kay Walker were majorettes again; Judy Conner was drummer in the Dance Band; attendants for queen were Peg Dunaway and Joanne McCarty; Dale Flaugher was in the king's court. During the year, we lost three students—-Brice Sunderland, Joe and Velma Lindsey, but we gained two new members—Wennogean Cohea and Darlene Summers—to keep the class enrollment about the same. Back for the third year and ready to stride into the busy year ahead of us, we chose Larry Rose, president; Joanne McCarty, vice-president; Judy Conner, secretary-treasurer; and Peg Dunaway, reporter. Our Junior members in Student Council were Bob Nixon, Peg Dunaway, and Larry Rose. Mr. Parilac and Mrs. Verner were chosen class sponsors. The sports some of our boys entered this year were track, baseball and basketball. The activities we choose to be in were F.F.A., F.H.A., library, newspaper, yearbook, mixed and girls' chorus, band, dance review. Our queen attendants were Dorothy Anderson and Joanne McCarty while Bill Roberts and Dale Flaugher were in the king's court. Our Junior play, You Can't Kiss Caroline, had a cast of nine girls and six boys. To make our Junior year even busier, we gave a prom in honor of the Seniors. The theme was Candy Land, and Judy Conner sang the song, It's Marshmallow World. Then we reached our fourth and final year in high school. In our Senior year we had the following leaders: Larry Rose, president; Ed Swinehart, vice-president; Joanne McCarty, secretary-treasurer; and Dorothy Anderson, reporter. Our Student Council mem- bers were Sandra Buckley and Ed Swinehart. To accompany us this year when we took our Senior trip were our class sponsors, Mr. Wilkey and Mr. Ward. This is the year we have been waiting for as two from our class will be the king and queen at the homecoming. The king candidates were Larry Rose, Kenneth Boyd, and Bill Roberts. The queen candidates were Kay Walker, Judy Conner, and Sandra Buckley. For our Senior PWt Committee, we had Darlene Bryant, Joy Porter, Dorothy Anderson, Kenneth Boyd, Skip Klinghammer and Jim Sanner. Several Seniors went out for basketball with Bob Nixon as captain. Kay Walker and Joanne McCarty were on the cheerleading staff. The boys also went out for track and baseball. The activities to keep us occupied were chorus, band, F.F.A., F.H.A., news- paper, yearbook, and library. For the fourth consecutive year Kay Walker and Joanne McCarty have been in front of the band as majorettes. We lost two students this year_____ Peg Dunaway and John Roasio. This is our past—now we look to our future. 16 Class Will We, the Seniors, of Argenta High School, Argenta, 111., do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament.

The crowd is anxiously awaiting the announcement of the winners of the 1967 Band Boosters' Annual Christmas Drawing. As the small hand draws out the winning ticket a ripple of anxiety moves through the crowd. The number is read aloud, 1957. Two excited men jump up babbling. As they come forward, we recognize the familiar faces of'Mr. Wilkey and Mr. Ward, both with the same ticket: It seems they were budgeting their funds, as usual, and both bought the one ticket. Although everyone agreed this was somewhat of an irregularity, they let it pass. As was expected, the winner with smiling faces and uplifted hearts, accepted the award with modest appreciation. The prize being a 10-day trip to anywhere in the world, Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey elected to visit the Seniors of the Class of '57. They retired to their respective homes to rest for the extensive travels of the following -Jay. They decided to begin the trip in the metropolis of Argenta. They found that a few of the '57 graduates were now playing the role of Argenta's most prominent citizens. Their first visit was made to see DALE FLAUGHER, owner of Flaughercraft, the new modern home builders. We found that Dale's competent secretary, JOY PORTER, was also pursuing a sideline of super- vising truck maintenance for Flaughercraft. As our travelers, Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey, proceeded from the city, who should they see but LARRY ROSE trotting gaily from tree to tree with his patented squirrel-call, his dog, Shep, and his double-barreled shotgun. They were very careful to conceal themselves from Mr. Rose as he is widely known as a frustrat- ed hunter who shoots at anything when the game is scarce. Their next stop was Lane Station where DON WILBER, the argumentive poiitieian of A. H. S., was selling tickets for the 77th annual Debate As they turned on Highway 66 proceeding toward Chicago, they were temoorarily detained by BOB NIXON, boy cropduster, who by some horrible quirk landed on the pavement because he thought it to be the Oreana Airport. His stewardess, JOANNE McCARTY, luckily parachuted out before 1Stt°ph occurred. Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey breaking out their NURSE DARLENE BRYANT FIRST-AID KITS (Senior Set), ran to Stewardess n HHyVlde - In hCr USUal SWeet talkinS anner, she gave them some needed information. JEAN SIMPSON, who runs transcontinental bus ser- C!Sufr°w thC Decatur Transfer House to Bankok, Maine, has related !r,bUSine?S 1S rapidly Picking up. Mr. Wilkey and Mr. Ward thanked Joanne for the information and said they must be continuing on their way. As they neared a woody section of countryside, they were not sur- prised to see LARRY KAUFMAN pursuing his lifetime ambition of counsel- ing a grou' of Merry Mouseketeers. Every little Mouseketeer had his ear cap on except Counselor Kaufman who came equipped for the journey with his own natural set. As the band passed them who should they see but smiling JERRY CAMFIELD, bringing up the rear. It seems Jerry is Junior Cadence Counter using his natural abilities for the benefit of the Merry Mouseketeers. 18 Upon entering Chicago, Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey were met by JAMES DICKERSON who conducted them on a guided tour of the Stockyards. As they passed from pen to pen, they were almost run down by JIM SANNER in his Hot '51 Ford, who was riding herd on his 40 head of Black Angus Jim, recognizing his old class sponsors, ran back to see if the stampede resulted in any casualties. Finding none, he conversed with Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey for sometime. They learned that DOROTHY ANDERSON, AVIS WESTERMAN, and MAUDE WHITE were performing at the Chez Paree Night Club. These girls, known as the fchez Paree Adorables were under the direction of a very capable choreographer, SKIPPY KLINGHAMMER. Mr. Sanner also related to them that if they wanted some additional enter- tainment to be sure to see GERALD ’The Block” BLOCH, wrestling at Navy Pier that night. They thanked Stockman Sanner and left for Navy Pier. As they took their seats they were handed a program and were pleasantly surprised to see SANDRA BUCKLEY's name on the card. It seems Sandra has been developing into quite a woman since her high school days. She has been performing as a lady weight lifter for sometime. Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey were temporarily shocked into speechlessness. Mr. Wilkey was forced to restrain Mr. Ward as Sandra bounced daintily across the ring in her lion mane leotard, balancing a 200 lb. dumbell on her left shoulder. After the shov they were very luckey to obtain Miss Buckley's auto- graph. Sandra, regained her gentle manner long enough to invite them for a midnight cruise on Lake Michigan. It was a very pleasurable ride until a gigantic speedboat came out of the foggy night and cap- sized them. Sandra radioed for help, asking for the best life guard available. In 30 seconds they heard a tremendous undalation, and up came KEN BOYD to rescue them. He grabbed Sandra with the old life guard hold and towed her three miles back to shore. Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey were left stranded on the up-heaved boat. They were about to give up all hope when they heard the big speedboat which capsized them returning. They commenced to hail the boat's captain. As the boat approached them, they recognized high school athletic star, BILL ROBERTS, at the wheel. As Bill took them aboard he introduced them to WENNOGEAN COHEA and DONNA EDWARDS who were water skiing behind Bill's boat. They were practicing for aquatic performances at Cypress Gar- dens. As they approached shore,Bill showed them his trophies which he had won at world-wide boat regattas. When they stepped off the boat, they thanked Bill for his assistance. Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey decided it was time to leave Chicago and visit the remaining seniors. They had heard a rumor that ED SWINEHART was an ambassador for the U. S. and decided to investigate the possi- bility. They called the Pentagon and were quite pleased to hear the familiarly pleasant voice of JUDY CONNER at the other end. Judy rela- ted to them that Ed was in Anartica, conferring with the penguins on the economic situation there. As they further conversed with Miss Conner, they found out that JUDY DARNALL was an up and coming director in Hollywood. Her latest bid for an Oscar was in the making. Our own KAY WALKER was in the starring role. Mr. Ward and Mr. Wilkey thanked Judy for her kind assistance and, making clear to her that they wanted the charges for the call to be reverse started back home with proud hearts because they were think- ing of the class they sponsored in '57 and their motto—'TO PERSEVERE IS TO CONQUER.” 19 20 B.
