SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Forty-one frightened Freshmen entered HAssumption Highn in the month of September in the year of l9SO. These Fresh- men carried their classified title of HGreen Freshiesu out to a nT.H The first week went rapidly without many inter- ruptions. With the help of our class sponsors, Coach Oakson and Mr. Frazier, we elected our class officers as follows: Rita Demascal, presidentg Tom Oakson, vice-presidentg Dick Allen, secretaryg and Evelyn Damery, treasurer. Hr. Lambert replaced Mr. Frazier as one of our sponsors in mid-year. Evelyn Damery and ?atsy Jackson represented our class for queen attendants. Seven freshmen went out for sports and nine were in the band. ' Our class enjoyed a hay ride and wiener roast at Caroline Johnson's home and later in the year we had a skating party at Pana. . Forty-one Hsillyn Sophomores entered their second year of school in l9El. Nr. Dagner and Mr. Forsythe were class sponsors. The elected officers were: Jerry Sims, presi- dentg Larry Boyer, vice-presidentg Bob Cunningham, secre- tary? and Don Wilson, treasurer. Our attendants to the queen this year were Evelyn Damery and Jo Ann Becker, Eight members were in the band and ten went out for sports. A hay ride and wiener roast were enjoyed by everyone at Bob Wemple's home and a skating party was again held at Pena. . During this year we lost three and gained two, which left us forty members to start our Junior Year. In September of '52, Assumption High School had to put up, once again, with thirty-three Hjollyn Juniors. Our of- ficers this year were: Don Wilson, president, Tom Stewart, vice-presidentg and Rita Demascal, secretary and treasurer. The sponsors were Miss Ashbaugh and Miss Sohn. Attendants to the queen were Marlene Francisco and Mary Jackson. Six juniors played football and two played basketball, Three were in band. November 20 we presented our play, HAunt Susie Shoots The Works,U and the play was a great success under the skilled direction of Miss Ashbaugh, A great profit was made to give the Seniors a nice prom, The Juniors were all very proud on January 26 because that was the day we received our class rings. In March we enjoyed a skating party at Pana and we also started working on the Prom under the direction of Miss Situ In the fall of '53, thirty-one Hsophisticatedn Seniors entered A. H. S, to get the last chance at that Hcovetedn diploma. Miss Henschen and Miss Gerhold were our class sponsors. The elected officers were: Tom Stewart, presi- dent, Don Wilson, vice-presidentg and Marlene Francisco, secretary-treasurer. The two lucky girls chosen for queen candidates were Nar- lene Francisco and Jo Ann Becker. Un Gctober 3 the school voted for Jo Ann as Homecoming queen. Tatsy Jackson was still the cheerleader for the Seniors. Kita Demascal was a high honor student and Carol Jones and Don Wilson made honors. Bob Cunningham, Sam McClure, Bill Shuck, Don Wilson, Tom Stewart, Phil bmallwood and Bob Long did a good job for us on the football field, Tom Stewart was the only senior on the basketball team, but he was a good representative and made a fine showing. A big, enjoyable evening was had by all who attended the Senior Class Hamburger Fry which was held at the home of Earlene Schwab on October Zh. With -i'. Miss Gerhold and Miss Henschen at the party, we Knew that the hamburgers,friai potatoes, baked beans, sliced tomatoes and cocoa had to be good eat'n and all the games, especially the one with the broom, had to be good play'n. One incident the senior class shall never forget is when Tom nTracyH Stewart ripped his pants playing a game, This is just one incident and one evening that the seniors won't forget when they graduate from Assumption High and go out into the world, each, indi- vidually, performing and succeeding at the job they want most to do. On April 2 we presented the costume play, THE HOCSIER SCHPOLMASTWR. We greatly enjoyed rehearsing and presenting this different-type play. And new we are about to become Alumni. Hay we all be a success in the future years. PROPHECY Tom WTracyH Stewart and his partner had been pounding the streets all month long. This case was the toughest one in their files, and the police had tried for 20 years to solve it. But, after they had decided to solve it once and for all, they began to get results. ln l95lL a row of new lock- ers had been stolen from the Assumption High School, and ev- ery clue led the officers to believe that it had been an in- side job, The graduating class of 25h had been the last ones to use the stolen lockers. At l2:3E P. M., the officers reached their office. Wait- ing for them were two reporters from the HStale News Tri- bune,H Jack Ryan and Phil Smallwood, They wanted the whole story from the beginning because the people were tired of reading ads. Only two copies of the Wstale Eewsn had been sold in the last month. The weary officers began to,relate their story from the beginning to the reporters. At 8:35 on July l the officers began canvassing the town. The first place on their list was Cook's Garage. Tom Cook was the owner of the garage, and he had two assistants under him--Bob Long and Carol Jones. Bob was a capable mechanic and had had a lot of experience with cars. He had torn his car up while in school on an average of two times a day. He was the most suspicious character because he had been ar- rested several times because of faulty mufflers. Carol had taken an aptitude test in high school and had come out tops in mechanics. She and Bob made excellent mechanics because they always got along quite well, especially in English class. The policemen also questioned Evelyn Damery, who was having her car worked on. It was a baby-blue Pontiac. Her fiance had given it to her for her birthday. Caroline John- son and Rita Demascal, the present band director at Assump- tion High, were with her, Caroline had changed her' last name a long time ago, and had left her six boys at home with her husband, Wayne. The girls were going on a shopping spree, and, when the officers were convinced that the girls had had nothing to do with the mystery, they let them go. The next stop was Jacksonfs beauty salon. Mary Jackson had established a successful beauty shop with two competent operators, Jo Ann Becker and Donna Carter, under her. They were taking care of two elite society women, Earlene Schwab and Alice Jones. Jo Ann was trying to tell Alice that red hair would be more becoming to her, and Donna was trying to peel the mud mask from Earlenefs face. All the classmates in the salon had good alibis, so the policemen went out to the Htile pond.H Don Wilson, chief engineer, was working on the job of constructing a bridge over the tile pond. His fellow work- ers were Lyle Hutchens and Sam McClure. They became inter- ested in the idea in their high school physics class. It was a difficult job, but the fellows thought they could handle it. Nothing led the cops to believepthat these boys had had anything to do with the thievery, so, without a sin- gle new clue, the officers went out into the country to call on the farmers. Une of the biggest farms around Assumption was owned by Larry Royer. Larry had become nationally famous with hog raising. Jerry Sims, a wealthy play boy, was visiting Larry at the time, but they were both cleared of any connections with the crime. The next farm house belonged to Bill and Eileene Shuch. They had married right after graduation, and had five sets of twins now. They were in a 'hurry' as they were going to a movie with Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ybunker, Mfg, Younker was formerly Harlene Francisco.

All of the sophomores are eagerly looking forward to their third year of high school when they will become full- fledged juniors by presenting their play, getting their rings and giving the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. CLASS of S7 In the fall of l9S3, forty-four eager but not so earnest freshmen started their first year in high school and ended it with a gain of one and a loss of six.

We had to do a lot of drilling to get our marching band prepared to march for the Centennial parade. There were twelve visiting bands from neighboring towns who helped make our parade a success. Football season started once again and we provided some entertainment at the half by doing some formations on the field and playing a few marches. Thefe was also a Halloween Parade that we participated in. eastern State College invited us to their Band Day. We marched in a parade with other bands and in the afternoon went tb the football game. This trip ended marching season for another year. At our basketball games we had a Pep Band which played songs between quarters and at the half. January 2h we gave a concert. It seemed successful so we planned another one for April. Mr. Gregory gave the section leaders a trip to St. Louis where we went to a show and heard the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

The scene was a schoolroom--stove, benches,fwater- bucket, and all. The costumes, from the l87O period, were good-looking outfits from the Centennial. The plot concerned Ralph Hartsook, who began and almost ended his teaching career in Flat Creek, Indiana. In his attempt to transform this backwood community into law-abid- ing citizens, the schoolmaster met with opposition. The twenty-year-olds determined to turn him out in a weekg Mi- randa Means tried at 'all costs to marry him, the richest taxpayer, Mrs. Means, and Flat Creek's most respected citi- zen, the Squire, opposed him, the villain and Hank Banta al- most succeeded in having him tarred and feathered.exThe schoolmaster's high ideals won over the friendship of Bud Means and Martha Hawkins, the love of and, eventually, a wife in Hannah, convinced Shocky that God never forgetsg and gained for himself a place of respect in the community.

JUNIOR PLAY nTon's O' Funn was presented by the Junior Class on De. cember l6, l95h in the High School Gymnasium at 8:00 P. M. under the direction of Miss Ashbaugh. Les Knight is in love with Vee Dale, a poor orphan. But unless he marries Rita Fortesque, his wealthy spinster aunt, Tabitha, will disinherit him.' Les, looking for a year's re- prieve, persuades a couple of his college pals, Skip Skelton and Shorty Long, to set sail with him for Hawaii. Enroute their little boat is wrecked and they are rescued by na- tives. ln this shipwreck, Les is left with a bad limp. Les, wanting to marry Vee Dale instead of Rita, tries to confuse his aunt and the Fortesques by telling them that he was all but masticated by sharks by sporting a wooden right leg, a wooden left arm, and a glass eye. To make this plan work, Skip is introduced as Dr. Skelton, a psychiatrist, who is taking care of Lesg for it seems that Les, being so hope- lessly crippled, has turned into a psycho-neurotic, and Doc is trying to cure him of his spells. If these plans fail, then Shorty will suddenly dash upon the scene garbed in a Hula dancerfs outfit with a wreath of posies around his head and declare he is Wacky-Hula, a South Sea Island gal--and Les's wife! The three women are suspicious of Les's being a cripple. They soon find out, when one of them sticks her thumb in his nglass eye,n another thrusts a darning needle in his nwooden right foot.n Rita still seems determined to marry Les in spite of everythings Therefore, there is noth- ing left for Les to do but throw a realistic psycho-neurotic fit--which scares lzola, the negro maid, and Parthy Ann, the bucolic cook, into a few fancy fits of their own. Rita, half frightened out of her wits, gives up Les as a bad bar- gain and elopes with the wealthy Atwater Van Horne. Aunty finally forgives Les and his pals for the antics they've pulled and consents to Less marrying Vee.

Each school and several of the Clubs worked hard on floats for the big event which took place on October 2. The floats, representing different clubs and activities of the high school, paraded through town to the football field. Friday afternoon an election was held to choose a queen from the Senior Class. The senior candidates were Marlene Francisco and Jo Ann Becker. All students of the high school were eligible to vote. The queen candidates and attendants rode a float through town before the game. At the half Jo Ann Becker was an- nounced nQueen of l953n for Assumption. Assumption defeat- ed Illiopolis 26 to 6. The dance was held on the square dance floor on October 3, 1953, with Jack Rafferty and his orchestra piayingo The attendants and their escorts led the procession followed by the Queen and her escort, Tom Stewart. They were welcomed at the throne by last year's Queen, Miss Marguerite Reiter, and her escort, Bill Adcock. A crown of different colored jewels was placed on Miss Becker's head by Tom Stewart. A bouquet of red roses was given to her as a gift from Mr. Fribley and a pearl necklace from the Alumni Association. The attendants wore red rose corsages also a present from Mr. Fribley.

In the pages of the book of memory it will be a never forgotten date in this year of 1953 JUNIOR-SENIOR PRCM Moonlight Bay was the theme that was used for the setting of the Junior-Senior Prom held May 9, l95h in the high school gym. The guests entered walking over a ramp onto the deck of a ship. Here, many teenagers danced under the glit- tering stars which shone overhead, and a lighthouse could be seen clearly from the deck of the ship, as we enjoyed the small, but wonderful, orchestra. The prom was a success af- ter a lot of hard work but everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
