We enjoyed two parties this year, a hay ride and Wiener roast at Denton's and a skating party at Danceland in Deca- tur. The high point of the year was our first homecoming, and for the occasion we chose Jean Anderson and Lois Burg- ener as queen attendants. Among the activities in which the Freshmen took part were music, athletics, and dramatics. In our Sophomore year, we re-entered the halls of A. H. S. more confidently and got off to a good start with twenty- seven members and our sponsors, Ir. Dagner and Mr, Forsythe, We elected the following officers: president, Bill Adcockg vice president, Beverly Denton, 'sec retzary, Tram 'teerung treasurer, Marguerite Heiterg and reporter, Joe Flaherty. Only one party was held and that was a niener roast and hay ride at the home of Marguerite Hoiter. For our second home- coming we again chose Jean Anderson and Lois Burgener for queen attendants. The sophomores took part in band, basket- ball and football, In the fall of 'Sl we came back after a much-needed three month's rest to take our place as Hdistinguishedu upper classmen, Our Junior Class consisted of twenty-six members who chose the following officers: president, Jean Anderson, vice president, Jeanette Lewellyng secretary-treasurer, Jim Howards We enjoyed one party which was a Wiener roast held at the home of Bill idccck, Joe Etdiison, Joe Burton, Jim Howard, Tom Hbtt, and Charles Dagan were active in sports. Many juniors still held a good place in the band with Bill Adcock as drum major. With our patient sponsors, Mrs. Tuck- er and Miss Ashbaugh, we managed to produce a successful play, UA Ready Made Family,H and a delightful prom with a Dutch theme. For homevoming queen attendants Jeanette Lew- ellyn and Joan Wehrle were chosen, lne biggest thrill of all was our class rings which we received in February. In September, 1952, only eighteen cf du managed to strug- gle back with smiles on our faces to our 'dear Alma Mater.n Being the oldest we had ideas of being prlfilcged characters which were soon put aside after a few Ame ivan History classes. We were sorry to lose Jo Ann Horsman who moved a- way at tne semester, leaving a class of seventeen, O ll r class sponsors were Miss Gerhold and Miss Henschen, and our officers were as follows: president, Bill Adcockj vice president, Jim Howard, and secretary-treasurer, Marguerite Heiter. Our one and only party was a hamburger fry at Tom Hott's. For our last homecoming we elected Marguerite Heit- er and Tootsie Lucco as queen candidates and the rest of the school helped us choose Marguerite as Queen. Tootsie Zucco was chosen from the Senior Glass for a cheerleader. In Jan- uary many sighs could be heard and many smiles seen as we unloaded all our papers after our last semester tests, a very happy day, indeed. The day when we received our senior pictures finally rolled around, and there was the usual oh's and ah's. We have hopes of making a big success of our Sen- ior play, NA Case of Dpringtime.n We are looking forward to our Senior Class Trip and, finally, our graduation, when we will say goodby to all our teachers and under classmen and step proudly and confidently on our own out into the world. CLASS PHOPHECY The city hall in the thriving town of Assumption was very crowded, but not as badly since some of the rat nests have been cleared out. A hushed silence fell over the group as Her Honor, Judge Lewellyn, sounded out three deliberate raps with the gavel. Her court is the only one in Illinois where spitoons aren't allowed. Joe Burton, a well-known lawyer now, is the person re- sponsible for the meeting. He has been trying for the last twenty years to find a clue to solve the mystery of who swiped a pencil from the study hall desk. At last, Joe has enough evidence to call the entire class of '53 to court. While waiting for everyone to show up it was like a regular class reunion, visiting with all the old classmates and catching up on the latest gossip. In one group of chattering people I can make out Marguer- ite Eeiter, better known as 'Kid,n who is Wilma Storey's as- sistant nurse. I overheard some remark about what fun they have reading those educational books, but I can't imagine why her face is so red. And who's that she's talking Ito? Oh, yes, it's Lucille Weeks. Lucille is enjoying fame now as the champion driver in the stock car races. Of course, her husband runs a Wrecker service and really has a success- ful business dragging in all of Lucille's competitors. Sitting over there on the bench half asleep is Franklin Davis. He resented being called away from his money-making theatre business in Dunkel. It's mmfe than likely he'll write and tell his Congressman about it. His theatre has brought so much business to Dunkel that Betty Keller opened a restaurant there and is becoming very prosperous serving the celebrities who come to Dunkel for premiers of 'their movies. I think I heard the deep voice of Joe Etchison just now, Sure enough, there he is. Joe took over the job of coaching his well-known team, nPete Young's Gang.n Joe made a few changes, though. He had a smoking lounge,.complete with .a cigarette machine, installed in the boys' shower room. Right now Joe is talking to Tom Hott, or maybe I should say he is listening to him. Joe can't get a word in edge ways. Tom is an admiral in the navy but I suspect he bluffed practice from his American Bill Adcock just walked trying for several years now. He really got ahead fast, his way through. He had lots of History ckasses. in. He is a chemist and has been to discover some type of glue to keep false teeth from coming out. He is talking to Jim How- ard, now a successful farmer near the Metropolis of Dunkel. His latest venture is the developing of a new variety of dandelion which he calls the Mary Lou. Over in the corner is Doris Mathias who is very busy tak- ing notes since she is the Star Reporter for the Assumption TRIBUNE,.owned and operated by Ralph Cole. He certainly has worked himself up from the paper route he once traveled. Just now joining the group is Jean Anderson. Instead of being just a waitress, she is supervisor of the supply of toothpicks at Root's chain of restuarants. She still has that same old wicked gleam in her eye, too. Well, it looks like everyone is here at last. N01 Waitl There comes someone, and who else could it be coming in late but Tootsie Zucco. She is a famous cartoonist now. She got her start while still in school when drawing pictures of the teachers, complete with mustache or elephant ears. The witnesses have all testified and the evidence has all been shown so the decision is now up to the jury. I notice one of the members of the jury is our old classmate, Shirley Lockwood. She has remained in Assumption and is living a quiet life. We can hardly wait to hear their verdict. At last! Here comes the answerl UWB find the defendant, Miss Esther Ger- hold, guiltytg Jeanette brings out a big black book and pounds the gavel sor silence. UThis court sentences you to being a student in A. H. S. for six weeks.n I can't believe it! It's impossible, but I guess it's true! She always was bad about picking up pencils. The whole class is astonished. The boys are gasping Knot from astonishment, though, they are about to have a nicotine fit.J Ted Foster felt so sorry for Miss Gerhold that he gave her a big corsage from his florist shop he now owns to wear on her black and white striped outfit. Tom DeBrun, president of the Jiffy Messenger Service, has announced that since the accused has been found guilty he is going to leave immediately for a six weeks' vacation in Florida. Business will be at a standstill since Miss Ger- hold will not be aole to send messages downtown and receive answers anymore. We all think the punishment is too severe, however, and we are going to see if we can help her. After all, she makes a better warden than she would a prisoner.

Many of these boys will be here next year and thus will form the nucleus for a good team. Our season opened on September l2, with a game at Cerro Gordo, where we absorbed our first defeat to the tune of 27-O. Our first home game on the nineteenth proved to our lik- ing as we walloped Bethany 19-6 to end a 15-game losing streak Jim Howard, using his tricky maneuvers, scored twice, while Joe Etchison with his power to drive scored once. Jim Himes added the extra point. The week after this.initial victory we headed for Illiop- olis where Tuffy Tennyson and company showed us why they were favorites to win the conference by soundly trouncing us by the score of 40-6. Jim Howard made the lone Assumption tally late in the game. On October 5, Mt. Zion invaded us and were treated very rudely by our boys. Joe Utchison, Jim Howard, Charles Kuhle and Robert Cunningham all chipped in a touchdown to lead us to a 25-O victory. Tom Stewart added the extra point. For our Homecoming Game we played Maroa. The first half we played them to a 7-7 tie but the second half proved dis- astrous as they scored two touchdowns to send us down to de- feat. Jim Howard scored our lone touchdown with Jim Himes adding the extra point. On October l7, we went to Lovington, where our weakness on extra points defeated us. The score was 13-12. Bob Cun- ningham caught a pass from Jim Howard for one touchdown and Jim Himes scored the other. The next week Bement arrived on the scene and we lost 19-O as their line was too much for our offense. Our last game of the year was a virtual slaughter as we beat our old rival, Moweaqua, 38-O. We proved our supremacy by scoring early and often. When the game ended the totals were: Joe E.-5 touchdowns, Jim Howard-2 touchdowns, and Jim Himes-l touchdown. After the season was over a banquet was given for the players at the Community Building which was attended by the players and their fathers.

The guests entered through a garden trellis into the gay atmosphere of a real Dutch garden. At one end of the garden stood a huge windmill blowing its breeze toward the small fish pond in the center of the garden. The white picket fence surround- ing the garden was lined with tulips of assorted colors, From the center of the garden hung -a huge round wheel with streamers to form a roof, Setting about the garden were small tables decorated with pastel colors. Lawn furniture was scattered about the garden with small beds of tulips, giving the Dutch garden a real atmosphere of Holland. After the banquet was served, the juniors and seniors finished the evening dancing to a small orchestra. The prom was a great success and memories of it will never be forgotten.

Everyone went all-out to make this Homecoming the best ever. Each student helped in making za float that would be in the parade at the football game. Floats representing different organizations and clubs parad- ed from the high school through town to the football field. Prizes were given for the three best floats. Finally, when all the floats were completed, an election was held to choose a queen from the seniors' candidates-- Tootsie Zucco and Marguerite Heiter. All students of the high school were eligible to vote. Before the football game, the queen candidates and at- tendants rode through town on a beautiful float which was borrowed from Moweaqua's centennial. At half-time between the game with Maroa, Marguerite Heiter was announced queen, after a very close rece. Although Assumption met with a de- feat, no one lost their gay and happy spirits made by the students of Assumption High. At last time for the dance arrived. The gym was crowded with people waiting to witness the crowning of the Homecom- ing Queen. The attendants and their escorts led the proces- sion, followed by the Queen and her escort, Bill Adcock. They were welcomed on the stage by last year's Queen, .Miss Audrey Berner, and her escort, Tom Etohison. A crown of gold chrysanthemums was placed on Miss Heiter's head by her escort. A huge bouquet of red roses, a gift of John .Frib- ley, and a pearl necklace, a gift of the Alumni Association, were presented to the queen. The attendants wore red rose corsages, also presented by Mr. Fribley. After the coronation, everyone danced to the music of Ben Bradley and his orchestra. The attendants and their escorts were as follows: Tootsie Zucco, 'Joe.Etch1son5i Marlene Francisco, Don Wilsong Mary Jackson, Larry Royerg Donna Hbward, Tom Hott, Rose Ellen Weeks, Bob Cunningham, Mary Howard, Charles Kuhleg Jean Burgener, Bob Storey. The Homecoming was a great success. Everyone had a won- derful time at this never-to-be-forgotten Homecoming of 1952. SENIOR PARTY The senior class sponsored a hamburger fry at the home of Tom Hott on October 15. Several members of the faculty were also present to help them devour the hamburgers, fried potatoes, baked beans, and cocoa. The seniors then went to the high school for recreation of square dancing held in the home economics room. The group had a wonderful time which will long be remembered bf l1f those who attended.
