Did you get the box I sent about a week ago? I haven't heard from you so I don't know whether you got it and ate too much or whether you didn't get it at all. The other day while I was fooling around in the lib- rary I saw some interesting things about the High School here in Ashton and I know youlre always interested in anything about Ashton so I'll pass it on to you. The first building was two stories high but there was only one room on each floor. That building was rather small compared to the present structure but it easily accom odated the few pupils and the small teaching staff. No records have been found concerning the date of its erection so I can't tell you that, but the second build- ing was constructed in 1369 of Ashton sandstone. The building now in use was erected in 1915. Both of these buildings were neccessitated by the growing enrollment. In the early years of the Ashton High School, students did not have such a wide choice of subjects to choose from as they do today. In fact there were only a few courses besides reading, writing and arithmetic. Changes that have occurnmiin the curriculum since those days are the ' combination of the three history courses CEnglish, Anc- ient, and Modernl into World History, and another result of a combination is, Biology made up of Botany and Zoology. Courses that were added sometime later were Agriculture, Home Economics, and Commerce. The latest addition to our study curriculum was Speech which was just inaugurated this year. W ,F Aa-from coMMuN1'rY as 11- l ' g ' ., L 'llfiiwfl elf ASHTON, :Lumens ' -f ' .T ,rwpyrggh Yldfh f5+w.N is as VHGVI JCHOO' 2 he igjzha' :grills Now the course of study includes English l,2,5,h... Speech...Latin l,2...General Science...Physics...Biology ...Geometry l,2...Algebra l,2...World History,..American History...Civics and Economics...Commercial Arithmetic , and Geography...Bookkeeping...Shorthand...Typing 1,2... Home Economics l,2,5...Agriculture l,2,5. Two valuable non-credit courses that are taught part time and are interchangedfwith two regular courses are Vocational Guidance and Man And The Motor Car. A Mr. Scudder was the firstiprincipal on record and -- he served in the l87O's. The next principal was Mr. A. W. Rosecrans who resigned in 1835. Mr. Hartwell a-nd Mr. Baldwin followed him, and the latter was followed by Mr. Streeter, Mr. Fackler, and Mr. Wallace, all of whom were able principals as the school made its steady progress to- ward its present status. The superintendent who preceded Mr. Bilderback was Mr. John Torrens whom you know. He served in that cap- acity for eleven years, resigning at the end of the school term in 1959 to fill the position of County Superintendent of Schools in Lee County. The Ashton High School became the Ashton Community High School in 1959 by vote of the citizens of the dis- trict who wished to have the taxes increased rather than have a three year high school. , That's all I can think of that would interest you very much, I guess. Be sure to write soon and tell us whether you got the box or not and more about the camp. 1 Good-bye for now, Your faithful historian A .W ,ig Ha E 1 'E W1 ?

Mr. Vaux fT.AJ As the school year marches ahead we find new enlistments in our class, Doris Parker and Warren Thomas. The Seniors are all trying to make the best of this year, as it is the last year we will be at Ashton Community High School. Everyone is studying hard since this is during a war and school will be out May 5th. The Senior Play nProfeasor How Could Youn, was chosen without opposition by the class and presented on April lOth. After weeks of practice the comedy was presented to the public and the Seniors, at least the cast, are of the opinion that the performance easily equalled the Junior's, though they did provide stiff competition. On April 25th, the Juniors entertained us with the annual Junior-Senior Prom-Banquet. This is only the second year we have had a prom and we really enjoyed dancing to that smooth music. Our Class night was held May lst, and every Senior had a mar- velous time laughing and reminiscing over antics of our four years in high school. Baccalaureate, May 5, and Commencement, May 5, were great nights in the history of our lives, especially com encement night when we received our diplomas. To each of us this diploma was only a step in our way of life, as there are many more of these difficult steps ahead.

Four long years we've striven together, To master our subjects in all kinds of weather. Some of our subjects were really fun, We waded through them, most on the run, While other assignments were really tough Of midnight oil we burned enough. But what if we did burn midnight oil? It certainly paid us for our toil, With teachers' help in trying situations We've reached a goal: our own graduation. Of Ashton High we have much to say, A wonderful school in a wonderful way A school board that's great and teachers too, What will we do, Ashton High without you? Graduation is not completed education, Let us strive to work upward to higher destination And make for ourselves an honorable name, Which some day may be written in the Hall of Fame.

I suppose you would be very glad to know where all of the members of the class of l9h2 are and what they are doing. Suppose I tell you in brief but'very much to the point.

The plot in brief concerned Keats' ambition to be Dean of the college at which he is at the present Pro- fessor of History. ' When Keats Perry is offered the Dean-ship, he refuses because he will have to get married before he can have the position. Ho finally decides to do this and engages his friend, John Appleby, to help him. The three girls who are entered in ntho great wife derbyn as Grandpa calls it are, Valerie Whitman, sponsored by Vickey lwho hates the Professorl, Priscilla Merely, sponsored by John Appleby because she is such an atrocious secretary and also such a sweet young thing, and Tootsie Bean, sponsored by Boggins who considers himself somewhat of a sport. Un- known to the rest Grandpa enters Vicky as a candidate. Many complications arise as a poem is distributed among the three candidates by each of their sponsors un- known to the others. When Grandpa calls each of the girlsl talking in a disguised voice, pretending to be Keats and plans to elepc with each of them trouble really walks in. Lula enters with three children and poses as Keat's long lost wife. This was actually John who felt rather sorry for the Professor and did this to get rid of the three girls. Things get worse until Keats finally realizes he has loved Vickey all along, Priscillaand John team up,'and Tootsie is claimed by Boggins who refuses to let his little sugar cook1c's heart be buffeted around Nlike a butterfly in the breozen. t I The play was successfully given and if it did not surpass the Juniors presentation of Cross E1 Heart it at least oqualed it. p J So long, y , The triumphant Seniors .

It's the best class in school, or at least we think so. There's not much to say about it but what there is, is really good. I Long about the first of September 1959, a bunch of about thirty- one scraggly kids, scared stiff and just out of the country and town grade schools, started in a new and different kind of adventure, high school. We surely were scared when the Sophomores put us through a lot of hair-raising things as our initiation. We declared we would get revenge and we did. We chose Mr. Obourn as our class advisor and we chose blue and white as our class colors. Our class flower was a carnation. Our class motto was and still is More beyond for those who try. When it came time for us to come back to school the next September, there were six of us missing. At this time we changed our class advi- sor to Miss Ensign but our class motto, flower and colors remained the same. Though we were ridiculed we braved the storm and gave a grand ' Freshman and Sophomore party, to gain revenge for what had happened to us the year before. The newly initiated Freshmen were dressed in various Indian costumes, and the party was a howling success, we do mean howling! Then came the year that the Juniors were important. Naturally that scraggly bunch that started school way back in 1939 had thinned f out a bit but there were still most of the original ones there. Those missing from our class were Raymond Sachs, Wayne Batchlor, and Alyce Pierce. Gaylon Mace, who transferred from Stillman Valley, and Glen Eyman, who moved to Columbus, Ohie the second semester, were new Juniors this year. As class officers for the most important year yet in the history- of the class of '43, we chose as President, Carl Witzelg as Vice President. Francis Bergsmithg and as Secretary-Treasurer, Carlettg Ann Stephan. The Juniors tried a new experiment. For many years there have been Senior plays, but never a Junior play. We had a play! The L.

The cast was as follows: Dave Adams, a small town banker--- Bess Adams, his wife -------------- Pauline Adams, their daughter ----- Bob Adams, their indifferent son-- Charlie Westover, Pauline's fiance Jerome Ross, new owner of the bank Myrtle Ross, his wife ------------- Eleanor Ross, their daughter ------ Jim Ross, their son -------------- Bob's high school friends: Carl Young ------------------------ Henrietta Duval ------------------ Patsy Jones ------- ---- Lola Pomeroy ---------------------- Edward Zager Eloise Meer Evelyn Grover Leo Neuman Francis Bergsmith Melvin Bunger Minerva Pfoutz Carletta Ann Stephan John Kersten Donald Sanders ----Alice Heath -- ---- Isla Whitsell -------Mary Wagner CUM M U N I T Y S C H U Q L .I The scene was in the Adams living room and the Adams family lived in a small town by the name of Medford. The play took place at three different times, Wednesday afternoon, Friday afternoon and Friday even- ing. We were all prompted numerous times by Dona Jean Sanders. p The first scene cf the probable graduation of the class of '43 was the purchase of pretty and expensive looking class rings and pins. Everyone was proud as anything to wear their new rings and pins and we were complimented many times on their selection. . Well, that's about all up to date, but if anything really important happens, like the Junior-Senior Prom-Banquet, you'll hear from us. So long for now, A Proud Junior. P.S. I thought you might like to know that the class of '45 is behind you in whatever you attempt and we stand behind Uncle Sam one hundred per cent. fii TN rXJI'l rem ceMMUN1rr iig 'S I 'ami I gsm ASHTON 'ILLINOIS H gI'l1ITW 1' Eiigzgig I C- I c'f'n C- vig! pe g., pg flier! e.,rIJOL X -r - 'T'-if f s H' March 6, 19h2 DeariBi1l2 Just a line to let you in on the activities of the Sophomore Class.

S. again opened her doors. The Freshies of ' l are now the Sophomores of ILE. Margaret Paul, Frederick Smeltzer, Bud Karr, and Leland Bridgeman did not join our forces this year, but Veon Mace, Norma Zell, and Evelyn Hays took their places, which makes the enlistment total MZ. Last spring Mr. Wise left to de- fend our country leaving the vacancy of our class advisor to be filled by Mr. John D Rosenberg. Contrary to the boy officers of last year, the fairer sex dominates the positions this year as follows: Orla Karsten, President, Betty Jo Thompson, Vice President, Shirley Heibenthal, Seo- retaryg and Louise Paddock, Treasurer. Posters were put up advertising the Annual Freshman- Sophomore Party which was Friday, October lC. The Freshmen were accepted into the A. C. H. S. enrollment as full fledged members by the initiation, To be a little dif- ferent it was decided to invite the Juniors and Seniors to a dance following the initiation. The high school danced to the strains of Dick Jergens and Art Kassel Kon recordsl. The clean-up job wasn't so hard fer the little President, because she had a helper doing dishes. This was none other than Ozzie. At the last Basket Ball game, our class took charge of the concessions. We chose barbecues, popcorn and pop as refreshments for the fans. Much work was put forth into the management and serving of the concessions. This brings a close to the letter bringing to you the past and present news of the Class of WLLV.

We keep our colors cardinal and white flying in our efforts to 'Build for Character, not for Famein Not until October ninth were we formally inducted. Thanks to the Sophomore class, herefs how it was done-- The funniest part was the parade around the gym- nasium with Red Unger dressed as a mother pushing Billy Jacobs in a baby buggy. Also Hazel Sturtevant Cknown by the boys as Porky! fed Orville Yocum five bananas which had been aging for two weeks. After the parade around the gym we found our partners in an unusual way. When we came to the party we had to take our shoes and socks off. Later we found out that our shoes were tied to those of some boy or girl so that each boy had a girl as a partner.

As we have said over and over, nWe really had a thrilling time, and we hope next year to give the freshmen of '45 just as good a party as was given to us.n We have already made about 88.50 toward next year's party by handling the concessions at one of the basketball games. Since this party our class has changed a little. Hazel Sturtevant, Hobart Wyatt, and Lavon Landau have gone. Neil Montanus, Lois Harms and Robert Bales have entered our class. When we chose class officers we also chose our class advisor, Miss Krans. She is also our English teacher and she has been a great success as our class advisor and we hope to keep her during the rest of our high school years. We are proud to have some basketball players in our class and we hope to see them on the first team. They are Red, Billy, Junior, and Neil. Our class is also represented on the cheering squad by Milford Bunger, successor to George Foss. Before school is out we hope to have a class pic- nic. We are trying to keep our colors flying as you are trying to keep our American flag flying. U27 Freshmen Strongu.

Although I imagine you are tired of hearing that old bugle morning after morning, I'm going to nblow my hornn now. I should say the horn of the instrumental groups at A.C.H.S. They and their director Mr. O'May really deserve to have someone brag about them. Of course, the first thing you will think about along the in- strumental line is the orchestra, so I'll tell you about that first. We have about thirty in our orchestra this year and a good assortment of the various instruments. The orchestra along with the Mixed Chorus had the privilege of presenting a program at Teachers Institute in Dixon on February sixth. And if I do say so myself, we did a very good job of it. We also played for a half hour before the Junior Play. The or- chestra always plays for the various Senior activities such as their play and com encement, but they won't be able to 'this year. When you take the seniors out you have quite a hole and especially in the string section. Don't we think we're something? Then of course there is the Pep Band. We have quite a band this year and next year it will undoubtedly take the place of the orchestra because of the lack of string instru- ments for next year. The band has practiced faithfully every week and has played at several of the basket ball games this year. The main object of the band this year is to build a good foundation for a bigger and better band next year. More power to Mr. O'May and his organizations next year. ' Tuncfully yours, A. cl H. S.

The girls and boys Glee Clubs have been com- bined to form a large Mixed Chorus of fifty-five voices. This group has rehearsed faithfully each Wednesday morning under the direction of Mr. O'May and accompanied at the piano by Gwendolyn Schaller. There were no contests this year because of the national emergency, but the group has made sev eral public appearances which were well received. On November 27, they presented nThe Harvestn, a colorful Thanksgiving Cantata, in the Mills and Petrie Memorial Building. They again appeared Feb- ruary 6, at Teachers' Institute in Dixon, and at the Lutheran Church on Sunday evening, February 15, being accompanied on the pipe organ by Donna Maude Sunday. During the year an F. F. A. chorus was formed which sang at their annual banquet. - It has been the aim of Mr. O'May to maintain a music department which would give vocal and ins- trumental instruction to all, and thereby stimulate interest in the music department.

Ts -B' February 28, 1942 Dear Edgar, We just got back from the District Solo Contest at Genesee and are all very excited. In spite of the fact that we had to leave in the middle of the night, Cthis new timell we are all still full of pep and ready for anything. Who wouldn't be bringing home the honors the way we are? Not so many went out for solo work this year because the shortened school year makes several of the contests take place after school is out, but what students did represent A.C.H.S. really made us proud of them. We're sorry we can- not tell you the results oftthe Sectional and State con- tests now but you'1l probably hear about them later. At the District contest today, all of our soloists won first place. We had six high school contestants and one grade school contestant. Those representing A.C.H.S. were: Orla Kersten, Clarinetg Paul Jennings, Drumg - Stanwood Griffith, bassoong George Yenerich, Cornetg and Betty Wilhelm, Baton Twirling. The one representative of the grade school was Miriam O'May a seventh grader who won first place honors with her piano solo. Esther Boyd and Miriam 0'May will be entering on vio- lin in the Sectional Contest in April. They didn't have to compete in the District Contest because there were no string contestants at all. We wish them good luck in their first contest in April. As ever, The A.C.H.S.

This year's ensemble is composed of Allen Root, Esther Boyd, Miriam O'May, Violin, Leo Neuman, Cellog Donna Jean Sanders, String Bass, and Louise Paddock, accompanist. A On March 26, the ensemble again performed in the gym- nasium, at the banquet given for the basketball boys and cheerleaders, by Mr. Henry Year. - The final results of the contests last year were not yet posted at the time the annual was published, but since I know you are interested in the outcome, I am enclosing it in my letter.

Stanwood has kindly allowed me to tell you about the All-State Chorus first. This year was my second year of having the privilege of singing in the All-State Chorus. High school representatives from all over the state gather for three days to practice for a concert to be given on the final night of the High School teachers conference, in con- junction with the All-State Orchestra. As our director this year we were fortunate in having Noble Cain, an out- standing composer and arranger of the present time. All right, Stanwood, it's your turn now. As for thc representatives, practicing, and concert, the All-State Orchestra is just like the All-State Chorus. Unlike the Chorus though, the Crchcstra had four conduct- ors, one for each of the selections played. We received quite a thrill when Dr. Eugene Goosens, director of tho Cincinnati Symphony, conducted one of our rehearsals. The only mar in an otherwise perfect time, was that it didn't stop raining from the time we get thcrc until the time we get heme. Sincerely, Stan and Gwen I . Aer!

Dear Bob, Yes, we'll agree that you're in the army now, marching grandly and carrying out orders snapped to youg but we must add the all girl' drum and bugle corps and drill team are following close at your heels. Why we even are organized as you are. Our captain, Eloise Mear, may not be as tough and grouchy as captains in the army but still y she's captain. And that goes for Sergeant's Gwendolyn Schaller and Natalie Chapman as well. Why we even have color guards and twirlers, Betty Wilhelm and Orla Karsten. You must admit that you can't top the latter. Of course we know in there you parade in a grand manner before Colonels-and Generals, but we had our fling at parading when we per- formed before Governor Green and then again before Louella Parsons and a group of movie stars. We have uniforms too. The girls are grandly dressed in green and gold capes and hatE'Ever white skirts and blouses. The color guards and Sergeant's look very military in black skirts and white blouses, and Captain and twirlers have white satin outfits. Of course, we have no medals pinned on our shirt fronts, but you must give us a little time. I When Eloise shouts tenshun , I can just picture these girls transformed into a thousand soldiers standing straight and all eyes forward. She calls out right dres 5 hands fly to hips--heads turn-- it looks so military. I often wondered how it would look with your company carrying out these orders. Of course you know all these com ands and probably carry them out quite well, but I'l1 vouch that these girls are close at your heels. Enclosed you will find a picture of the group and the one respon- sible for producing such a nice exhibition--Mr. O'May.

The presiding officers this year are: President, Ralph Salzmang Vice Pres- ident, Russell Semmlerg Secretary, Loren Calhoung Treasurer, LaVerne Kersteng and Reporter, Paul Chadwick. On June twelfth the annual state meeting and judging contests were held at Champaign. Ashton's delegates to the meeting were Duane Henert and Russell Semmler. The three teams taken to the judging contest were: Grain, Dairy and Fat stock. The members of the Grain team were Donald Jacobs, Duane Henert and LeRoy Majors. The Dairy team placed favorably but were not in the first ten and therefore did not earn the right to participate in the finals. The Fat Stock team composed of Russell Sem ler, LaVerne Kersten and Ralph Salzman placed in the first ten and earned the right to compete in the finals in September. Also at this contest Russell earned a high honor by being the fifth place individual in the Fat Stock division. Another feature of the State meeting is the presenting of the State Farmer Degrees. These are awarded on the basis of at least an average of 8575 in scholarship, earning of a minimum of 3250 from pro-- jects and on social activities. Two of Ashton's boys, Ralph Salzman and Russell Semmler, were privileged with these awards. ' On July eighth our Ag. teacher Mr. Wayne A. Wise was unexpectedly called into military service as a First Leutenant in the 40th Coast Artillery Brigade at Fort Sheridan. The Ag. students were indeed'sorry to see Mr. Wise leave and all the boys wished him grand success in his new venture. Upon leaving he was presented with a fountain pen and pencil set as a token of appreciation from the F.F.A. boys. on August l our new Ag. teacher Mr. John D. Rosenberg of Thomson arrived on the scene to take over the duties of Ag. teacher and advisor 'E 'Tis as-1 on co,vxMUN1'rif Jqgul i Q 'sg .JT ' Q A sl.

The Ashton boys again hung up a very impressive show record. The 4 second week in August Ralph Salzman took several of his outstanding Hampshire sheep to the Illinois State Fair. Here he won first prize on his pen of three breeding lambs together with a large number of other prizes. ' Ralph together with a nu ber of other F.F.A. boys won over 3973 in prize money exhibiting at the following fairs: Gregon, Princeton, Morrison. Dixon and the sectional vocational fair at Morrison. Also in totaling up their record books for the year they found that they had a total income of 56,344.42 and an expense of 32,730.86 with a net labor and management earning of 33,615.56 and it certainly looks as if they will be caught on income tax too. After this most prosperous show season all the boys came back te school with a new outlook on life. Im ediately after school began the Fat Stock team began to practice for the coming state contest on Sept- ember l3. The boys were out to make a strong bid fer high recognition in this competition. The team was asked to place eight rings of stock and then give oral reasons before the judge on four of the rings. The boys made an admirable showing by finishing in ninth place out of 402 schools competing, Soon after the return from the Fat Stock judging contest in Sept- ember it was decided that there was enough interest to warrant tlb new judging fields, those of meat and milk. By method of elimination two teams were chosen. The meat team composed of Willis Kersten, John Kersten, and Wayne Nass placed eleventh with Willis placing as twelfth individual in the contest. The milk team of Eugene Steder, Kenneth Page and Ralph Salzman placed twentieth which was good since it was their first attempt. On November 4th the F.F.A. boys held their annual Corn Husking contest on the Earl Ewald farm south of Ashton. Nine contestants were on the starting line when the gun went off. The field was led by LaVerne Kersten and Donald Jacobs but when the final deductions were ff'-e, ul 11 : - ASHT GN F UMM UNIT Y .flier 3 Hel i ' , ' ' C .

One of the biggest social events of the school year was that of the annual Parent and Son Banquet held January 31. Une hundred and four parents, guests and members were in attendance. The Home Ee. department served the banquet. The program was presided over by the President Ralph Salzman who introduced LeRoy Majors with the address of welcome and Superintendant J. C. Bilderback who gave the response. Mr. C. H. O'May directed the F.F.A. chorus in several numbers after which Mr. Rosenberg introduced the guests and the Vice President Russell Semmler reviewed the activities of the chapter during the past year. The guest speaker of the evening was Mr. Frank E. Nangle of Paw Paw who spoke on the opportunities in agriculture for young farmers and gave inspirational advice to the boys. The banquet closed by the showing of colored pictures taken of the boy's projects and the closing ceremony by the officers. And now, Pete, we come to the closing part of this letter and to a part which we think will really warm your heart. we here at Ashton aren't standing still in times like these. The F.F.A. boys are really going all out to help lick the Japs and in two days during the Xmas vacation they collected almost four tons of waste paper and believe me that's a lot of paper. On February 13th they made their second collection and gathered almost three and a half tons. This makes a total of 592.68 taken in, which will be invested in Defense Bonds. So you can see that we are behind you 1001. Now I think I'll have to close this letter but we sincerely hope that you have enjoyed hearing from the Ag. department. . ' With best wishes, The F.F.A.

This annual certain- ly was a job, but it wasn't too hard on us CI guesslj We worked on the annual every Thursday during English Class until things got a little rushed, because of school on Saturdays, and then we worked more often. It was fun lots of times. We certainly enjoyed guessing who those baby pictures belonged to. It was- n't too hard recognizing Vernie and Willy, but who wou1d've thought that hat with the boy belonged to Gene Stederl Vernie and Gene were constantly arguing over who was to write this and who was to write that. They were both so anxious to do it that it was pitiful They finally compromised and finished by affably doing it together. KOh Yeahil Later ------ I had to dash off and I accidentally left this lying on my desk. Someone added the words in parenthesis and underlined one of my favorite Words! Evidently they don't agree.or more than likely they don't know what the word means. Then too, we really had a hectic time when the Calendar editors lost their calendar. They could be seen rushing madly around collecting facts and fig- ures, until the lost was found. y In spite of the fact that every editor on the annual Staff used up a ood supply of pencils, acq-f uired a few gray hairs ?wh1ch were quickly replacedl, and lost some time from his or her beloved studies, wefre glad 1t's not any longer and we've had fun do- ing it.

The following officers were elected at the first meeting: President, Margaret Greenfieldg Vice President, Orla Kersteng and Secretary and Treas urer, Shirley Heibenthal. Kiss Krans,was,chosen as advisor. The club is composed of 21 members. They are interested in sports no matter what they may be. The dues are twenty-five cents a year. During the year the G.A.A. had several parties. Of course the initiation of the new members was the most fun. s This year a number of girls earned their G.A.A. pins by keeping rules for eight weeks. These rules pertain to walking, swimming, bicycling, bowling, and other sports. The members of the G.A.A. want to wish good luck to all future members in years to come. Above all, don't forget to write to your sister, Bob, and tell her to be sure and join the G.A.A. Club when she gets in High School. Yours for fair play, The c'.A.A.

Dear Jenn, Since your wife was a former member of the Home Economics Club and husbands are always interested in their w1ve's former high school days, we thought you might like to know what the club is doing this year. Well! Here goes. Our club was organized to promote friendliness among members of the department and to interest girls in the field of Home Economics. Our first meeting which was held in the Home Ec. Room, was called to elect the new officers fer the year of l9Ill-I42. Pres- ident, Wilma Romickg Vice President, Rita HcLeang Sec- retary, Margaret Greenfield, Treasurer, Shirley Heibenthal. . Before I go any further I might say a word about our Home Ee. room. This year it was moved from the basement to the main floor. No---I don't mean trans- ferring all the Home Ec. equipment to the main floor, because we have new equipment. The room is combined for cooking and sewing. We have venitian blinds, flourescent lighting, one gas and one electric stove. Every student of A. C. H. S. as well as every member of the club is very proud of this room. g At Christmas time the girls fixed boxes for the needy families around town. For about two weeks the girls repaired and painted toys and mended clothes that the members brought in. The girls had a grand time doing this and at the same time made several families very happy. .x C f jeg as-1'rorN1 Commun Q...-:H FHQFI DCFIQOL I?

A com ittee was appointed by the Home Ec. Club to make the arrangements for the annual Assembly Christmas Program. The program opened with the sing- ing of several Christmas Carols by the entire student body, after which everyone enjoyed a quiz program by the faculty and a group of students, a fortune teller, an interesting skit by the Iwamatic Club, and last but not least Santa Claus and his grab bag. Everyone I agreed that this was one of the best entertainments ever given in the high school. The Home Ec. Club had several dances after school. It seems everybody likes to dance. Even some of the teachers. , The outstanding nhighlightsn of the club this year were: the Christmas Party, serving the Parent- Son F. F. A. Banquet and the Mother-Daughter Home Ec. Banquet. Our sponsor, Miss Ensign, has done a great deal for the Home Economic girls in training them to be better Hhousekeepersh and more competent workers. Your friends, HThe Home Ee.

' Curtain Call Players Dramatics Club Dear Pete: The Dramatic Club is a new activity in our school this year. lt was thru the efforts of Miss Allison, our able advisor, that this club was created. I Our club chose for its name the Curtain Call Players. To fill the offices of our club we chose for president, Natalie Chapmang secretary, Leo Neumang and treasurer, Gwendolyn Schaller. The Dramatic Club is composed of twenty- one members, seven boys and fourteen girls. The dues are twenty-five cents a year. The ambition of our club was to study the use of theatrical make-up, correct stage technique, one act plays and monologues. The club purchased a make-up kit to be used by the school. Our first performance was a short one-act play given at the Christmas-party held in the High School Assembly, December 22nd. It was written by one of our capable mem- bers, Eloise Mear. For the Junior Play, the members of the club helped with make-up and stage properties, etc. The next big event was when we gave an assembly program at Amboy. We also gave this performance before our assembly and the Civic Club. The last thing on the list was the Senior Play in which we helped with the make-up, stage properties and lights in much the same manner as we did the Junior Play. The members of the club have really enjoyed the in- struction which we have received. This being our first year, we are very proud of the progress we have made. As . to the success of our club we owe the credit to Miss Allison. Wishing you the same, The Dramatic Club.

Even at that, we aren't to busy that we can't visit the Siren Staff. , This year instead of picking individuals from the Senior Class as a whole, the Typing II Class took full charge and all responsibilities. There being only five in the class, namely, Donna Maude Sunday, Margaret Greenfield, Betty Wilhelm, Eugene Steder and Wayne Ness, they had to work extra hard to write up their editions and then type them besides. The Siren job and was written up period. After the this year was taken as a class project every Monday morning during the class work was read and reread and all cor- rections madc, it was handed over to the publisher. Though sometimes late, our Siren Staff never failed us. Maybe when you were in high school, you were on the staff to write up the weekly school paper. If so, you know what a job it can be at times.

Ulf' H-H ASH TON, cLLaNoa5 March 28, 1942 Dear Ray: E , In your last letter you wondered what sort of a season we had in basketball. Of course, Cahem!J we never could have beaten your famous 1955 team but we did passably well. I was in the 5th or 6th grade when you and Al used to be the demons of the maple courts in these parts and how well I remember the many games your team won. The Ashton first team won 21 games this year while los ing 4 and the second team won 15 and lest 2. Both teams dominated the Route 72 Conference throughout the winter. Just as last year, the varsity won the conference without suffering a single less. Stillman Valley was the next strongest team with a record of 8 victories and 4 defeats 4 compared with 12 and O for the Aces. Our ponies ended the conference race in a tie with Stillman Valley with a record of 10 and 2. Four fine trophies were added to the trophy case over in the Gym. They were as follows: first in the Route 72 Conference tournament, first in the Route 72 Conference, heavyweight round robin play, tie for first in the Route 72 Conference lightweight round robin play, and 5rd place in the G.R.V.C. tournament. The team was composed of Loren Calhoun, Ed Calhoun, Willis Kersten, La Verne Kersten, and Ed Zager. John Kersten and William Patton were subs. On the second team were Junior Landis, Harlow Dailey, John Kersten, George Yenerich, and Red Unger. Subs were William Patton, Maynard Patton, and all the boys on the 5rd squad. They were James Klingebiel, Neil Montanus, Gaylon Mace, and Billy Jacobs. These 3rd squad boys played a series of three practice games with the strong Ashton grade team winning 2 of them. FU' XB?

Steward being one of' the strongest offensive teams in this section of the state, handed the Aces their first set-back by the lop-sided score of 56 to 33. ' We did it before and we can do it again, was the chant ' from the fans, as Ashton erased a several point deficit to pull away from the Grovers in the second half to defeat them 49 to 29 for the second time this year. Ashton eliminated Rollo in their first game of the G.R.V.C. tournament and was leading 40 to 17 when the game was turned over to the second team. In the second game the Aces' failure to hit the basket and also their failure to stop Knetsch, Paw Paw's lanky center, who scored 17 of Paw Paw's 24 points, spelled defeat for the Aces, the sec- ond of the season. The Aces, however, trimmed Lee Center 54.to 17 for third place honors on the following night. An exciting game was played between Ashton and Stillman Valley on the opening night of the Route 72 Conference Tournament on the Stillman Valley floor. When the final whistle blew, the score stood 52-52. At the end of the first overtime period the score was still knotted 36-56. The Aces registered a field goal on the tip-off to start the second overtime period making them the winners of a very hard fought game. In the semi-finals held at Franklin Grove, Ashton downed Monroe Center by a score of 37-25. In the finals on the home floor, the Aces tangled with an inspired Leaf River team and after considerable difficulty, managed to come out victorious by a score of 53-29. Ashton entered the Regional Tourney with.a record of, 19 victories and 5 defeats and had high hopes of going to the finals. The team displayed some real ball-handling and marksmanship in defeating Stillman Valley 50-29 on their H opening night of play but was defeated by Oregon 39-26 on the second night, thus bringing to a close another success- ful season.

Again this year the Civic Club entertained the high school squad together with Mr. Butler's grade boys. It was really a fine occasion. The M. E. ladies served the food but this year we had local after-dinner speakers. Some of the speeches were really rare as you can well imagine. Coach Vaux awarded letters to eight players and small basketball watch charms to the first 'fiven which had engraved H1942 basketball championsn on them. The really crowning part of a swell season came March 19, 20, 21 when ten of us and Coach Vaux spent the three days in Champaign witnessing the state tournament. The athletic department really out-did itself on this trip to show us a good.sime. I will never forget that trip. You are right about our team not having quite the speed of the 1940-41 team. This year's team had more scor- ing punch and more defensive ability though. You can see by the enclosed records that we often ran up around fifty points on the opponents while holding them down quite well part of the time.

'.T,T TTd' :Ji Sept. e., 1941 Dear George: The Ashton Aces started softball practice as soon as school opened in hope of capturing the Route 72 crown. About thirty turned out for the first prac- tice, but the squad was cut to fifteen before the first game. Coach Vaux has several men back from last year. They are as follows: Loren Calhoun, Edward Calhoun, Willis Karsten, LaVerne Kersten, Kenneth Page, William Patton, Carl Witzel, Edward Zager, Harlow Dailey, and , Ralph Salzman. All of these either played last year or substituted. There will be several changes made this year due to graduation and a new battery will have to be composed. We have a very tough schedule this year, made up of Route 72 Conference games. THE SCHEDULE Sept. lO...- --.Stillman VaI1oy.... ...hero Sept. 16 ........

'il ' October ll, l94l Dear George: . Well, the season is over and the outcome of the conference was not as we had hoped. Out of the five teams in the conference, we finished second with four wins and two defeats, both by the champions from Stillman Valley. ' Our hitting throughout the seasonwwas good with a team average of 26773, but our defense showed lack of practice. I am going to give you a brief descrip- tion of each game and the batting average of all the players. On September 10, we opened our season on the home diamond against Stillman Valley, a strong team,, and were defeated lO-6. Loren Calhoun did the pitching, also hitting 3 out of 4 times at bat. On Sept. 16, we defeated Forreston here 9-3, our pitchers only allow- ing them 4 hits. September 18, we defeated Monroe Center for our second victory 7-5, outhitting them 9-5 with LaVerne Kersten getting 5 of them on home runs and a double. On September 25, we invaded Leaf River defeating them 9-5 for our third straight vic- tory. Then on October 7, we ran up against Stillman Valley again for our second set back, 6-4, and our last hope of winning the Route 72 Conference. October lO, we closed our season by defeating Forreston 4-1 on a one hit performance by Loren Calhoun and a per- fect day at bat for Ed Calhoun getting two for two.

The election was on October Zh, l9hl at eleven o'clock in the Ashton School Assembly. The students chosen for cheerleaders were: Natalie Chapman, Esther Clover, Glen Eyman and Milford Bunger. Although George Foss, the outstanding cheerleader of A. C. H. S. has graduated, he has been an inspiration to Milford Bunger. These cheerleaders of A. C. H. S. under the supervision of Miss Krans have faithfully held up the spirit of basketball. N Many assemblies were also held during the basketball season. Cheers were given to get the students in the spirit, then pep talks given by all of the teachers. Glen Eyman, the man with that famous yell, UOur team is Red Hot,N has been transferred to the Columbus Ohio High Glen School. Ashton High School will always remember as a good cheerleader and the very boy to lead a peppy assembly. A Since you are well acquainted in A. C. H. S. the cheerleaders are going to write you about how they like cheerleading for good old A. C. H. S. Here is Esther's letter: NI have enjoyed cheerlead- ing for A. C. H. S. the past two years very much. There's really a thrill in getting out on the floor and leading a f ffl TX Aer: on f'SOMlM'UiTIfIIv'fY E, QQMI rIlGI-I scfsool ai . my ' .

I ffl B E' 1 I mam ASHTON, ILLINOIS crowd in a yell for you in contact with a friendly attitude the enjoyment I get our team. Cheerleading also brings students from other schools and creates toward them. I really can't express out of following the team and helping in a small way to lead them to victory. Natalie tells us that one of the biggest moments of her High School career was the day that she was choosen cheerleader of good old A. C. H. S. NEver since I can re- member, I have wanted to be a cheerleader. I had thought that it would be the most wonderful thing that could hap- pen to me. And it was wonderful being cheerleader for a team and student body like that of Ashton High School for two years.n Last but not least is Milford. Milford says: NI liked cheerleading this year very much from the beginning and even better as the games went on. It was swell to work with the other three cheerleaders. The game I liked more than any other was the Route 72 Tournament game at Stillman Valley, when the score was 2 points ahead in Stillman Valley's favor. After this breath taking moment we made a basket when there were only a few seconds left to play. This tied it even all. The game was played with two overtimes, but we came out on top. It surely was an exciting game, but after all I have liked every game.n Cheering keeps up our team's morale just as we hope our letters keep up yours.
