EX LIBRIS - HISTORY OF A.C.H.S. ()n April 23, 1939. new territory was added to the Atkinson high school district by a special election thus increasing the enrollment the following term. In April of 1941, the residents of the community voted for the construction of a new school structure, the bonds to finance this being $100,000. The erecting of the new structure began in the summer of 1941. The school hoard, contractors, and workmen worked hard so as to have the building completed for the new term, with classes to begin September 2, 1942. The new building was dedicated on September 11, 1942. The enrollment at that time was seventy-one students with a staff of six members. There are now eighty-three students and six faculty members. There are twenty-five available subejcts now which gives the students a great chance for advancement in the future. Mr. Raymond Arnold, the janitor, has done a lot toward keeping our new school neat and clean at all times. Atkinson Community High School became an accredited school in 1944 by the University of Illinois and the State Department of Education. This was a great advancement in our school by helping those who intend going on to college. In April of 1943, Mr. Renwick, the principal at that time, entered the Naval Reserve. Since that time several of the graduates, post-graduates, and seniors have entered the service of their country. THE 1945 ATKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Atkinson.

LELA GUSTAFSON PAUL KARP ROSELLEN REEDER GEORGE MAURER KARLINE LANTERMAN The 1943 Tiger 5 TIGER STAFF Early in the fall of 1944 we, the seniors of Atkinson High School, held a special class meeting to elect an annual staff. The following were selected: Editor-in-Chief....... Assistant Editor Advertising Manager Business Manager S]x rts Editors....... Picture Editors------- Feature Editor--------- 1 ..iterary Editor.... Typists............... Adviser ...._.......... It was decided to have the annual printed instead of mimeographed as has l een done in the two previous editions. It made less work but also made it more interesting. The lack of film for snapshots was one of our main headaches. Also we were unable to print the account of the Junior-Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate and Commencement, since we had to have it finished earlier, but hope next year's seniors will supply these. We hope our annual will meet the approval of all of our subscribers and patrons. We wish to thank our sponsor sincerely for the help she gave 11s in the preparation of the annual, and all our advertisers who made it j ossible.

When he interferes in the romance of Kit and Amy and causes Kit to lose his scholarship, the Im vs set out to kidnap him. Dean Valentine, a widower with his son, is besmitten with Mrs. Hall, the house-mother of Clover Cottage. She has a daughter. The children are enemies, and when they hear they are to be married they, too, plan a kidnapping. How these two enterprises become unbelievably tangled provides most of the hilarity of the play. Not all of it though, for the uneducated Tugger and his tussles “wid de big words” add their share, as does his affairs with Emily, the wallflower of the college, and Cora, a wisecracking member of the student body.

Physical Education For some time past there has lieen a recognized need for a physically fit nation. Leaders of recreation, health workers, and doctors have attested the need for vitality and endurance in our nation. Time allotted to physical education programs in our high school in the vast majority of cases actually gave lietween fifteen and twenty hours a year to activities of physical nature. Full time jieriods have now added the needed punch to make the training something worthwhile. Administrative policies concerning credit, attendance, reports, health service, etc., are explained early in the semester. Most post-war programs will step up instruction; keep the same length of class and substitute organized games for the obstacle course.

Everyone enjoyed himself. The 19-15 Tiger .il CLASS PROPHECY As l.aureen and I were traveling through the world selling peace bonds, we decided to keep a diary of the experiences we had and the people we met in the year 1955. These are a few of the |� ges we thought you would he interested in. The first place we stopped was at a winter resort in Switzerland. The manager came and told us he hojxxl we would enjoy ourselves here, lie then asked us if we wouldn’t like to see the skiing races. When we arrived they were awarding first prize to Wilbur Van De Voord. We were very shocked to see Web on skis ami to hear he was world's champion. Web was to make his next appearance in Scotland so he encouraged 11s to go along. When we got off the plane we bumped into Florence Johnson. We learned that she had married Jonathan McHale who had come to America on business. They then moved to Scotland and lived on the sheep ranch that her husband owned. They had two children, a lx y and a girl. She was glad to see us but had to rush home. Here, also, we had to leave Web for we had to go on with our tour. Our next stop was Brazil. There we took a hotel room. That night while having supper in a cafe in town we saw Roy Moens at a table. We called him over and asked him to join us. lie told us about how he came to Brazil to start a coffee plantation and had l een very successful. We talked for some time and then we left for it was nearly closing time at the cafe. The next morning we finished our business and sailed for San Francisco. On the boat we met the captain and to our surprise it was none other than Reuben De Smith. We had dinner with him and he told 11s of his voyage and how he became captain of the ship. He had joined the Navy three years after he had finished high school. After arriving in San Francisco, we stayed there all night and in the morning we went to a “Maria’s Beauty Salon.” When we stepped in the lobby of this huge building we met no one else hut Marie Verschmire. When she found what we wanted she took care of us personally. After we were finished we learned that she went to ljeautv school and learned the trade. We were then ready to leave for Hollywood where we intended to go over a few movie sets while we were on our tour. We were just leaving set two when we happened to run into Beverly Goethals. She invited us to have lunch with her and discuss old times, so we met her at the Brown Derby. She told us about her job as an actress on the screen. She then introduced 11s to her husband who was the land leader now playing there. She told us how she hapjiened to come here and how she became a star. She asked us if we knew that Vince Causemaker was also here as a football star in the movies. When we asked her if she would tell 11s where he lived she said she would take us. It was about 4130 when we reached his set and he was just going off for the day. He didn't have much time so he left 11s. and Beverly also had to leave us. Our next stop was Reno. We stopped there just for curiosity’s sake for we had heard so much about it. We asked for a guide at the information desk, and when she came to guide us it was Lela Price. We asked her many questions on the way. She told us she had come here for a job just like this and had gotten it. She liked it very much but was thinking of going out and seeing Beverlv for it had been nearly two years since she had seen her. Our next stop was Chicago where we went to the Chicago Civic ()j era House, to give the results of our tour so far. On the program was Rosemary Piere. We 32 The IQ4$ Tiger CLASS PROPHECY ex|x ctecl to see a French lady step on the stage and instead we saw Rosemary De Koo. Surely there was some mistake. Then we s] oke to the director who told us she came from a small town in Illinois. We met her afterwards and we had a very interesting conversation. She told us how she had studied voice and now she was singing Carmen. She asked us where we would like to go and since we had no preference she took us to the still |x pular Aragon, where Jim Van was now playing. She explained to us that after Chuck Foster quit his job as hand leader Jim Van came in to take his place. As we walked in we heard beautiful music and when we came to the seat that had been reserved for us Rosemary asked us if we recognized the leader. Then we noticed it was Jim Van Waes. Rosemary had the Notre Dame Victory March requested, lie recognized her also, lie came to our table and talked for awhile. It was quite unusual playing a march at the Aragon, but for old times sake and for Atkinson High he played it. lie told us al out how he and Phyllis had Iteen married and came here to start an orchestra. Phyllis had sung for awhile, until her voice gave out like it used to at the l asketl al! games. We said he had done a fine job but he said it was only luck. Then we had to leave the Aragon. We talked about how lucky we were to see so many of the old friends on our tour. Then back to the old home town. No use dreaming till we got there, so we hurried to the bus depot to catch the bus to South Bend, Indiana. When we were there we went to see Notre Dame play Navy, which is still a battle. We met the coach, Ralph De Decker, who was known as Bud. but now it was Coach Bud.” He asked us to the banquet the team was having and we were pleased to see how much attention Bud got. The boys thought an awful lot of him and considered him the best coach they had had since Knute Rockne. After our visit he had to go back with the lx ys so we left for the hotel but on the way we stopped in at a restaurant and had a lunch. The hostess was none other than Bar-bara Atwell. We talked for a few minutes. She told that she had always enjoyed meeting and seeing | eople so the easiest way was to be hostess at this restaurant. She enjoyed her work very much. Two of the old gang in one day was quite a happy find. Next morning on our way once again, we stopped in Bloomington and passing through the busy streets we came upon an accident. We stopped and took a little girl to the hospital. When we came through the ambulance entrance, Elaine Claeys took the girl out and immediately took care of her. loiter she was ready to talk. She said she went to a training school and they sent her here. She planned on doing public health work but now she likes this work better. She is now su| erin-tendent. We had to catch the train so we had to leave. Arriving home, we went right to the high school to give a note to Audrey De Smith who was now English teacher of Atkinson High. She went to school at Illinois State Normal. While we were there Audrey told us Elaine Hepner had been married to Robert Willetts from Kewanee. They had gone together in school. He now owns the Kewanee Boiler Shops. That night when we were sitting in front of the fireplace we got our diary and finished it. We thought back of old times and agreed that the seniors of ’45 had really made successes of themselves. The flames of the fire were burning low so we closed the diary.

I, Marie Verschoore, bestow my characteristic of being the model student to Jane De Decker with the hope she uses it through her senior year. My art of drawing I leave to Ivan Wildermuth as 1 feel that a reliable junior needs this trait to get good results for their annual.
