The seniors have borrowed Elmer, a Walt Disney creation, from his regular comic strip to add to the pleasure of THE POST'S readers. The senior class takes great pleasure in presenting Elmer Fudd ' - . , 'vw f, o .1 9 'Y A '. X , 1 QA :J W IU' ' 1 ,r il I Q 'r o v n 1 C - ' .Q x ' .1 5 554 ALS '- .I 1 -S 6 r ' . x 1 . I ,I Al K.

'H . I L n L Ui THE POST FACULTY As we seniors of 1947 start thinking about leaving high school, we want to remember the teachers that were teaching our last year. We have ten faculty members, five men and five women. Five of them have a last name starting with B. How about touring the building with us and meeting our teachers? As we come in the front door and turn left down the corridor, we find first the principal's office. Mr. G. R. Hamilton, who has had charge of the office for sixteen years, teaches world history and civics. He attended Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree, and the University of Illinois for his Master of Arts degree. His early years were spent in Franklin, Indiana, but he has lived in Atwood during the years he has taught here. We leave the office just in time, for as we step out into the corridor again, we can hear the tapping of many typewriters in heavy use. When we take a peep inside the typing room, we find Mrs. Blanche Bishop. She has taught the commercial subjects-typing, bookkeeping and shorthand-for the past five years. Her educa- tion, other than high school, was received at Illinois State Normal, where she received her Bachelor of Education degree. Her home, previous to her home in Atwood, was Bement, Illinois. We retrace our steps past the principal's office to the drinking fountain, we find ourselves staring into the room of Mrs. Louise Bean, who teaches English II and III and drama and has directed the class plays for four years. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, but has made Atwood her home. She attended the University of Texas and the University of Mexico, but received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois. Just before going down a very small flight of stairs, we see a room with long tables and chairs, so We go in to chat with the agriculture teacher, Mr. Oscar Brewer, Who has instructed the FFA boys for three years. He also teaches the veterans' training class. Atwood has been his home all his life. He graduated from A.T.H.S. and then attended the University of Illinois for his Bachelor of Science degree. While we are still chatting with Mr. Brewer, the sound of music comes drifting from the room at the foot of the stairs. We decide to go in and talk to Mr. E. E. Weller, the band director. He tells us that he has been teaching music here for nine years, excluding the four and one-half years spent in the armed service. We also learned that he had gone to the University of lllinois for his Bachelor of Science degree and Illinois Wesleyan for his Master's degree. His home town is Lawrenceville, Illinois. Everyone likes to make trips to the kitchen and loiter around, so While we are there, let's interview the teacher, Miss Eloise Boyd. Besides home economics she teaches girls' physical education. She comes from Sullivan, Illinois, and attended Eastern Illinois State Teachers College at Charleston, Illinois, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree. Miss Boyd has taught here for two years. We are now on the bottom floor of the building and will visit Mr. Clarence Rogers and his manual training class. He also teaches the boys their physical education. No one would believe, to look at Mr. Rogers, that he has been here for twenty-one years. He is basketball, football, and baseball coach. We think he really knows his sports. We finally got around to asking him where he attended college and where his home town was. We were surprised to hear that his home town is Browns- MMT HttJ'c55r'i'i ij burg, Indiana. He attended Bradley for his Bachelor of Science degree and is working toward his Master's degree at the University of Nebraska during summer terms. We will now go to the top story of the A.T.H.S. building. As we go up the stairs at the back of the assembly, we find Miss Lois Shonkwiler's room on the right, just at the head of the stairs where she teaches English I and IV and United States History. She went to college at Millikin in Decatur, Illinois, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree and summer terms at the Universities of Illinois and Maine. She told us she has been teaching in Atwood, whore she makes her home, for Iour years. From Miss Sh0nkwiler's we visit with the Latin and math teacher, Mrs. Leta Forward, whose home is at Hammond, Illinois. She participated in the studies at Millikin, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree, and the University of Illinois, where she received her Master of Arts degree. We found that she has been teaching here for four years. Knowing we have only one more teacher to interview, we walk down the top corridor and find the science room. Yes, there he is, Mr. Fred Boll, with a class in general science, so we wait until the class is overbefore we go in. Besides general science he teaches biology, chemistry and physics. After serving his Iour and three- fourths years in the army, he came to Atwood and has been here for three semesters. His college training came from the University of Illinois, Northwestern, and Normal. Mr. Boll received his Bachelor of Arts degree at Normal and his Master of Arts degree at the University of Illinois. He told us he was a farm boy, but his home town was Patoka, Illinois.

D. Yes, it has been ten years to the day since we graduated from old ATHS. We are happy to be back in Atwood and glad to say the town hasn't changed very much. Jean Cravens is the commercial teacher now, a very capable one. She is going with a young doctor. While we were talking with her, she told us that Frank Bragg has a large farm out in the country. In the lower corridor we glanced at a couple looking at the trophy case. They were none other than Barbara and Bill Chilton, who had just arrived irom Brooklyn, where Bill has been playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers for the last three years. They had come back to visit their parents. We inquired about several of our former classmates and learned that Joanne Lewis also had arrived in town. We remember how Well she had played the piano while in high school. When we went to see her, she greeted us at the door and asked us in. The next morning we were up early and ready to drive out to Frank's farm. We thought that by going early enough we would get there in time for breakfast, and sure enough, we did. Frankjs wife, the former Betty Dukeman, can really cook! Frank has a 400 acre farm with many cattle, hogs, and chickens. He told us that Don Fergu- son and Lowell Dorjahn were both farmers, toog so we asked the direc- tions and paid them both a visit. Don farms the old home place and has been quite successful and prosperous in everything excepting find- ing a little woman to do the cooking and manage the house. He asked us to dinner, but we hurried on down to Dorjahn's. Lowell really keeps up with fashion in agricultural machinery, and his car had all the latest gadgets. Lowell was as jolly as ever and mighty healthy looking. We had dinner there, and we really mean dinner! That afternoon we drove lazily back to town to rest before going out that night. Max Roderick and his Ric-Rack orchestra was to play for a dance in the Pierson Ball Room. His wife, the former Barbara Mathes, is soloist. We really enjoyed ourselves that night. The next morning we were not feeling so well as we had eaten too much or had too much night life so we went to the doctor. Now don't be as shocked as we were, but the nurse was Jane Collins. We chatted for about fifteen minutes and by that time the doctor was ready to see us, but we felt o. k. after seeing Jane and so we left. As we were going down the street we noticed one of our shoes was untied. Stoop- ing over, we tied it. Just as the bow was being pulled, boom, someone had bumped into us! Looking up, we saw it was Wayne Benner. Over l Gladys qixflst LowellDOUahn Q IOa7'ZTI6L611Ji5 RUH2 Bezznfr 5- 'nv Ov N? T 5' , 1 'N james 1 u fgfme5Brown -,-, 'if'- - ', i L 015 Jo nes Iam?

After that we went back to the hotel and packed our trunks. The next morning a short time before we were to leave, there was an impatient knock on the door. In walked the former Betty Kennedy and her husband, Count Louis XII of France. We spent a pleasant hour with them, during which the Countess displayed her fluency in French. Then we rushed to the station to catch the streamliner for Chicago. We had just sat down and were casually looking around when we thought we recognized the conductor, but before we could make out who it was, he was through the car and on his way. We weren't satisfied though, so we waited 'til he returned. It was Charles Schuch- man. We talked with him until we reached the Windy City and had to change trains to make Denver. He told us that his home was in Chicago. ' We got off the train in Denver. In the station we met Rita and Lee Henneberry. They were rushed for time as they were just getting a train to visit their folks back home, and so We didn't get to talk much. We did find, though, that Lee is a lawyer. While downtown window-shopping, we saw the sign WetzeI and Harder, Exclusive Dress Shop. Going inside the shop, we visited with them for awhile and found that they both were married and have dress shops all over the country. Again we boarded the train, and woke up the next morning just as we were pulling into San Francisco. We checked in at a hotel and set out to give the Golden Gate City the once over. W'e were walking down one of the streets looking at nothing in particular when, over head, we noticed a sign, Ruth Benner's Beauty Salon. We asked to see Miss Benner and were escorted into a room. Behind the desk sat a lady who had Madame Pompadour outdone. She recognized us, as she was Ruth Benner. Ruth told us Kimmel Quick lived down in Beverly Hills. We went to see him the next p. m. His home is one of the loveliest we've seen anywhere. Kimmel is the author of the hilarious best-selling novel, Snitch, Snatch and Grab. The next morning we were off. While we were over Arizona, the airplane in which we were returning East developed engine trouble and we were forced to land in a wild and rugged area close to Tomb- i viola lQ1lQ1 Di4 bi1riolcr1oil it 301010101031 rio1c 5903, 10101014 1101011 riniuioioiuzoqnvioi 1019014 1:01014 THE PCST stone, Arizona. We decided to walk back to the small village when a lady in a huge black cadillac stopped and asked us if we wanted a ride. It was Shirley Richardson. After We told her of our misfortune, she invited us to stay at her ranch 'til the airplane was repaired. What a ranch! Four thousand acres of grasslands with horses, cattle, and everything a ranch needs. When we got to Port Arthur, Texas, we Went to the dock to see if we could get a boat to Miami. On the dock we met James Brown. You would have hardly known him from his speechg he has picked up quite a Texas drawl. He told us he works on the dock. After talking to him a few more minutes, we took a boat to Miami. We enjoyed the boat trip on the Gulf of Mexico, but we liked Florida better. Since James had told us that Lois Jones lived here in Miami, the first thing we did was to look her up. She was out in the backyard picking grapefruit. She is the co-pilot on her husband's airplane, this was just a day off. We stayed in Miami a week sightseeing before we took a train for Baltimore, Maryland, where James Sparks, architect, is erecting a new 175 story, all steel structure. James takes his work quite seriously, but we enjoyed a few jokes with him. From Baltimore we went to New York City to see the Powers Models in the style show of 1957, featuring Mogene Dallas, one of New York's most popular models. Mogene was our main reason for going. After the show we left immediately for New Haven, Conn., to see the former Gladys West. Gladys is still as unaffected as ever and travels with her husband, a young singer, all over the country. She told us quite proudly that he had been offered a movie contract and that next week they were heading for Hollywood. We left thinking only of home and when we gct there we'll write every one of you a letter. So goodby for now. ..........................-.-.'1.f.f.TI..EE.7.C.2.:5.1'...-.... -...-.,..-,,....

We, the Senior class, leave to the sophomores the first feeling of superiority that comes to upper classmen. We, the Senior class, leave with the freshmen our sympathy. In witness whereof, We, the class of 1947, affix our seal this twenty- first day of May, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-seven. CSEALJ Signed, Lee Henneberry Shirley Richardson Frank Bragg H Doris Wetzel WITNESSES: Lois Shonkwiler Oscar Brewer ll! lPlbl Di THE POST vl1biui011 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY August 23, 1943, 31 frightened freshmen entered the doors of A.T.H.S. and attended our first high school classes. We started off with a bang and elected class officers on September 2. Our presi- dent was Bill Chilton, who came from Roosevelt Junior High School in Decatur. Wayne Benner was vice president, secretary-treasurer was JoAmber Means, student council members were Kimmel Quick and Betty Kennedy. The class advisers were Miss De Atley, new home economics teacher from Hume, Illinois, and Mr. Means, science teacher. The freshman year was all very new and exciting, and we remem- ber the long dreaded freshman initiation, our first Homecoming, and the little items in snoopers column that we were just positive no one knew about! We also remember those first semester exams! Then came the freshman return party. On March 31, 1943, a hayloft party was given by the freshmen in the old gym. Cow bells, horse blankets, bales of hay and lanterns were distributed about and the atmosphere was quite overwhelming. How many remember Mr. Hamilton with the bandana tied bandit style across the lower half of his face? Time marches on. Graduation for the seniors and the end of another year for the rest of us. On August 28, 1944, we re-entered school as sophomores and were all surprised to see the classrooms re-decorated and bouquets of flowers from Mr. Hamilton's flower garden on all of the teachers' desks. An entire staff of new officers were elected to carry out the will of our class. They were president, Kimmel Quick, vice president, Betty Kennedyg secretary-treasurer, Marion Quick, student council, JoAmber Means and Max Roderick. The class advisers were Mrs. Forward and Mr. Rogers. Our sophomore year, although by then we were old hands at that high school system, was not without event. On October 27, we intended to have our first party, but it was postponed for some mys- terious reason until further notice. That further notice turned out to be November 10. A rousing good time was had by all. Remember? Betty Reeder, guest of Joanne Lewis, sang to Wayne Hale from the balcony, and Doris Wetzel all but hugged Reg as he tried to leave her chair when we played wink-em. We had another party, too. The English II B people were given a party by the II A class. It was held in room 14 on Thursday night, December 14. This party culminated an etiquette unit from the sophomore hand book. :4a: THE POST Things quieted down for our class for awhile, and then on April 13, English II B served a seven o'clock breakfast to the English II A class. It was quite hilarious! The boys put on a fashion show. In- cidently, the baby blue formal James Sparks modeled was simply DARLING! Another momentous occasion we helped to celebrate when we were sophomores was May 8, V-E Day. We participated in a parade and a short program afterwards in the new gym. So with baccalaurette and graduation we bid A.T.H.S. a fond fare- well Ctemporarilyl to return again in August as juniors. School opened on August 27, 1945, and on September 12, officers for the year were elected. Betty Kennedy was chosen to be presidentg Lee Henneberry, who came to Atwood High School from Hammond, Illinois, vice presidentg Bill Chilton, secretary-treasurer, Shirley Rich- ardson and Max Roderick, student council representatives. Our class advisers were Miss Eloise Boyd, home economics teacher from Sullivan, and Mr. Rogers, our coach. Our junior year was filled with more activity than any of the other previous ones. We sold 55391.75 worth of magazine subscriptions. Next on the agenda came plans for our class play and class rings. VVe ordered rings through Mrs. Abrams, and then settled down to a long term of play rehearsals. Mrs. Bean drilled us relentlessly and wore the look of the conventional harassed director almost continually. On November 13, we fthe play castl traveled to Decatur and saw the opening production of Night Must Fall put on by the Little Theater group at the Masonic Temple. December 6, we presented Cash and Carrie to an enthusiastic group of playgoers. It went off with compara- tively few mistakes. Christmas vacation came next. Our basketball team became Okaw Valley champions in February. Things settled down to normal again, and plans for the junior-senior prom were being made. The week of April 4, we received our rings, and immediately everyone developed a mania for using his left hand. For a few on the sides, we remember with gleeful grins the anonymous black cat that took up a homestead in A.T.H.S. Dreamily we think back on the romantic style of Russ Carlyle and his orchestra at the dance sponsored by the Junior Woman's Club. The junior-senior prom was set for May 11. We labored long and TI-IE3m0ST.i: 'ZZ l1ard over wires, crepe paper, apple blossoms, lattice work, arbours and various other means of converting the gym into a Chinese garden. But at last the desired effect was achieved, the food was prepared, formals pressed, suits brought home from the cleaners, and we danced 'til we dropped before it finally was all over for another year. Graduation again, and our friends, the seniors, left us, and we began to look forward a little sadly to the final chapter of our class history within the walls of Atwood Township High School. August 26, 1946, we returned for the last mile, seasoned veterans, but just a little 1eary about that required course in U. S. history. However we evaded that thought and proceeded to elect new class leaders. Lee Henneberry was at the controls for our last tripg his vice president was Shirley Richardson, secretary, Frank Bragg, treasurer, Doris Wetzelg student council, Jean Cravens and Max Roderick. Our class advisers were Mr. Brewer, ag. teacher, and Miss Shonkwiler, English and history instructor. Two senior girls, Joanne Lewis and Shirley Richardson, were appointed co-editors of the AT-TO-HI. Almost immediately plans for our year book were made, and our last year promised to be full of activities for all concerned. On September 13, we initiated the incoming freshman class. They were duly humiliated, so we felt we were in part made up for the atrocities inflicted on us when we were initiated. September 26, Mr. Blankenberg of Kankakee took our graduation pictures. There was some confusion that day as to the time we were each to be shot, but we got it straight eventually, and as everyone was dressed to the teeth, the photographs promised to be good. Ruth Benner and Shirley Richardson were chosen by our class to be candidates for Homecoming queen this year. Ruth was elected queen and Shirley her attendant. On October 25, we had our first party. A treasure hunt, volley ball and dancing were main features of the evening, and it was a very successful night. The next Monday we all gathered in the kitchen and finished off the last of the ice cream, while underclassmen stood around and looked at us wistfully. November 21, 1946, our pictures from Blankenberg's arrived. Everyone seemed to be quite pleased with them, and all day long there was much ado about exchanges and getting application pictures auto- graphed. W 'Fi-IE PosT February 12 we went to Decatur to see Soldier's Wife. The play was enjoyed by all, and we began looking forward to our own class play. Because of conditions beyond our control, we didn't have very good luck with our magazine sales this year. The juniors sold to everyone everywhere in their fall campaign, and veterans from all over the state were selling the same week we were. Our Post sales, however, came out very nicely. We set our goal for 100, and the limit was reached in no time at all. We felt very smug about it and set to work with renewed vigor. On February 17, Mr. Blankenberg again paid us a visit, and took pictures of all the different organizations for our year book. There wasn't much studying done that day by the seniors. Lee was being quite the executive, flying here and there attending to everything. February 28, some members of English IV and English III classes, with chaperons, went to Champaign to see Anthony and Cleopatra. Everyone thought the play was grand. We were all very much awed with the activity all about us on the campus. Play practice again! When on April 25, the final curtain came down on Clarence, we were all reflecting a little sadly tha.t this was our very last class play. Spring finally came, and with it a grand rush of activity. The juniors gave us a wonderful prom, we were again chained to our books for those finals , and on May 18, baccalaureate exercises were held. May 21, we donned our caps and gowns, received our diplomas, and found ourselves, after four long years, graduates of the Atwood Town- ship High School. NF?

'J DQlDll THE POST JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1944, thirty green, but promising, freshmen entered the Atwood Township High School. Our first official act was to elect class officers. Betty Fombelle, now a Bement High School student, was chosen president, Gene Weir, vice presidentg and Charles Harsh- barger, secretary and treasurer. Our student council representatives, Julia Jean Tucker, now a Philo High School pupil, and Dale Cordts, were elected. Our first step into the social limelight of ATHS was our initiation by the seniors at eight o'clock, September 22. We survived with sufficient poise and zeal to plan a party of our own for the evening of November 2. Barbara Eagan headed the refreshment committee and Margie Harder was in charge of entertainment . For the Homecoming dance, we chose Colleen Wildman as our attendant to the Queen. She reigned in glory, as we defeated Newman in the football game that afternoon. After the Christmas holidays, we started the New Year by having Dale Cordts and Barbara Eagan elected pin-up boy and girl at the Band Carnival. In April, we decided to present the seniors with a return party for their efforts in initiating us into the fraternity of ATHS. Doris Downs was chairman of the refreshment committee and Rita Walsh presided over the entertainment committee. This was the end of our first year and having placed a few students on the honor roll and some on the athletic teams, we prepared to advance from our Freshman year, under the supervision of Miss Shonkwiler and Mr. Tucker as class advisors, to our sophomore year. During our second year in ATHS, we felt that we were actually members of the school. Mrs. Bean and Mr. Hamilton guided us through this eventful period in our lives. Several members having left us during the summer months, we now numbered only twenty-four. We elected our class officers early in the year. Gene Weir was elected presidentg Paul Gilpin, vice president, and Charles Harshbarger, sec- retary and treasurer. Dale Cordts was holdover in the student council, and we elected Virginia Davis to assist him. We started our social season by having a scavenger hunt and party on the evening of October 11. Paul Gilpin was in charge of refresh- ments and Colleen Wildman headed the entertainment committee. On October 26, our class had two floats in the Homecoming parade. 710101014 billl4 l Pl1 P1l THE POST The larger of the two was a large red V placed in the middle of Elliott's truck. The truck was trimmed in red, white and blue. A soldier, a sailor and a marine were standing around the V. This float won first prize. The smaller float was a blue and yellow wagon pulled by an orange and black bicycle. Shirley Dorjahn was dressed as a cowboy and rode in the wagon. Barbara Mathes, dressed as a Rajah, rode the bicycle and pulled the Cerro Gordo Broncs all over town. This bicycle also won first prize. Colleen WVildman was in charge of the float committee. Rita Walsh was elected attendant to the Queen and the evening was a big one for us. A number of our boys had made the football team this year and We were proud of them. During the second semester we had a party on April 20. Donna W'ilkins and Barbara Eagan headed the entertainment and refreshment committees respectively. The juniors invited us to serve refreshments at the Junior-Senior Prom, and several members of the class did so. Those who assisted were allowed to dance later. Yifith this high point of our second year in high school and visions of our own prom in our minds, we proceeded to take our summer vacation. Twenty-four of the green freshmen of 1944 returned to ATHS in 1946. We had a big year ahead of us and elected officers soon after school opened. We elected Gene Weir presidentg Leonard Jones, vice- presidentg and Norma Crist, secretary and treasurerf In the student council, Dale Cordts was held over for his third year of service. VVe elected Margery Harder to take Virginia's place. When Margery had to leave because of a bone injury, we chose Rita Walsh to substtute for her in her absence. Mrs. Forward and Mr. Boll were our class advisors during this year. Early in October we undertook the sale of magazines to raise money for the spring prom. Charles Harshbarger was appointed general manager in charge of sales. Rita Walsh captained the Blue Side, and Martha Jividen the Red. Helen Quick was high salesman and won a radio, S12 and an autographed donkey. Total sales for the class were 575550. This was an all-time high for magazine sales. Barbara Eagan was elected to attend the queen at the Homecoming dance. Mrs. Bean passed out parts for our class play Ever Since Eve, and we began slaving nightly to work out the rough spots.

Gene Weir, playing Johnny Clover, and Helen Quick, as Susan Blake, held the leads. They were very well supported by Colleen Wildman as Lucybelle Lee, Paul Gilpin as Spud Erwin, Martha Jividen as Spudts sister Betsy, Jack Stabler as Mr. Clover, Doris Downs as Mrs. Clover, Barbara Mathes as Miss Willard, Leonard Jones as Henry Quinn, Myron Redden as Cappy Simmons, Dale Cordts as Preston Hughes, and Charles Harshbarger, Bob Birch and Phillip Hoff as football players. Norma Crist was bookholderg Myron Redden and Leonard Jones were in charge of con- struction, Bob Birch had the curtain and lights assignment, Barbara Eagan was wardrobe mistressg Rita Walsh changed the curtains in the windowsg Wanda Taylor, Norma Crist, Alta Dallas and Virginia Davis were ushersg and Barbara Eagan and Rita Walsh took tickets. The play was very well received, and not bragging, of course, but merely stating facts, was one of the best ever given here at ATHS. During the second semester, we had pop concessions at the basket- ball games. This included the Okaw Valley Tournament and profits from the sales were approximately 55150. Charles Harshbarger was general manager. In February, we began thinking about our prom. Margery Harder was appointed chairman of an estimating committee, which did some research about orchestras, decorations and the price of a banquet. Mendel Riley was engaged to play for the dance on May 2. We dec- orated the gym as a night club and had the dance floor surrounded by booths, enclosed by crepe paper streamers. Balloons were suspended from the ceiling and released during the dance. The lovely ladies and their escorts caught them as they floated lazily downward. After our first formal dance, we were a little starry-eyed, but we managed to finish the year'and prepared ourselves for our last lap toward our cherished diplomas.

On that inevitable date of September 21, 1945, they were initiated and officially became members of A.T.H.S. That night the Seniors were recognized as sole possessors of power. The class of that year elected Hollis Eyestone as presidentg Yvonne Jones, vice-president, Bill Mos- barger, secretary, James Gregory, treasurer. Student council repre- sentatives were Betty Randall and Don Mosbarger. The return party was held in the second semester with all sopho- mores and juniors invited and all seniors honorary guests. In the fall of 1946 twenty-four sophomores entered A.T.H.S.. They elected as president, Hollis Eyestoneg vice-president, Bernice Spencer, secretary and treasurer, Yvonne Jones, and student council representa- tives, Betty Randall and Robert Sutter. Their party for the first semester was held in the old gym. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On August 26, 1946, twenty-six freshmen, representing six grade schools, entered the Atwood Township High School. They elected John Hamilton president of the freshman class: Ronald Greve, vice president, Dorothy Parson, secretaryg Tom Walsh, treasurer, Phillip Waters and Nancy Weir, student council representa- tives. September 13, the seniors gave the initiation party for the freshmen who were entertained in the usual way by the seniors. On December 11, the freshmen had a class party. They spent the evening dancing and playing games. The freshmen gave the seniors a return party, April 3. An orches- tra made up of band members played for the dancing. May 22, final reports were given out and the freshmen are now sophomores. :ini vioioloi M 'm'WTTI'E'F6's'Tm'Mm'm' SOPHOMORE CLASS Top Row: James Sanders, Eugene Taylor, Warren Moore, Haskel Shook, Paul Arthur Heinzelmann, Donald Mosbarger, Robert Davis, James Gregory, Hollis Eyestone, Robert Sutter.

The team was composed of all underclassmen except for two seniors. There were five letterinen returned from last year's second place squad. The average age of the whole roster was slightly under a mere 15 yars of age, which should prove that the Rajahs were none too mature and strong this past year. One thing the squad did possess was a little word COURAGE. The boys developed good traits such as sportsmanship, personality, character, good competitors and how to take defeat and victory in the same stride. This little poem will take care of the fellow's feelings about the past season: We can't all play a winning gameg Someone is sure to lose. Yet we can play so that our name No one may dare accuse, That when the Master Referee Scores against our name, It won't be whether we'Ve won or lost, BUT HOW WE'VE PLAYED THE GAME. Coach Clarence Rogers came to Atwood in 1926 after coaching two years at Bradley University, which he attended and where he was referred to as one of Bradley's finest athletes. Rog also attended the University of Nebraska. He has turned out many fine players in his twenty-one years at Atwood and has had football champions in '29, '33 and '34 besides many basketball champs. He took one team to the Sweet Sixteen in 1930, which only contained eight teams at that time, and was able to give the champions, Peoria Manual, their toughest competition in the tourna- ment. . Coach is one of those fellows who is eager to win as much as anyone else but can take defeat as Well as victory. 'Rog spent much patience with this year's squad and must be praised for his efforts. He is a fellow who tries to teach his players not only football and basketball but traits that will develop them so they can face the future with broad shoulders. He trains the fellows not only mentally and physically but every way possible so as to make them good citizens. Fred Boll should be mentioned for his help with athletics. He attended Kankakee high school, and Northwestern and Illinois State Normal Universities. He received the Carter Harrison Trophy at the latter school for being the most valuable player on Normal eleven. The schedule opened September 13 on the local field where the Rajahs opposed T H E P O S T The Lovington Panthers. The schedule went as follows: Sept. 13-Lovington ..-- ...... H 20--Villa Grove ..... ...... H 27-'Cerro Gordo ..... ...... T Oct. 4-Bement ................ ...... H 10-Arthur fNightJ .................. ...... T 18-Newman fHomecomingJ ...... ...... H Nov. 1-Tuscola fNightJ ............... ....... T FOOTBALL PLAYERS Bill Chilton was one of the two seniors out for the squad this year, making his fourth year. He played quarter-back and was elected captain of the team. The left end position was filled in by one of the returning letterxnen of last year's squad and a junior this year, Gene Weir. At left tackle came a boy who had to overcome a handicap of poor sight. This is Myron Redden, a junior. Myron is a big, raw-boned boy who goes all out for this game of football and probably is one of the hardest fellows on the squad to get down on the ground. Spike, as he is frequently called, will be a valuable asset to the team next year. Bob Sutter, a sophomore this year, held down the position of left guard. Bob won a letter in his freshman year. He is chunky and well built for his position. The fellow who held down the next position was one of the smallest and toughest. He is Tommy Walsh, who played center. Tom was a freshman and played in every game, lacking only a few minutes of playing every minute of every game. The biggest fellow on the squad was Paul A. Heinzelmann who lugged his 225 pounds around at his guard position. Heinzelmann plugged up the right side of the line. He was a sophomore this year. At the position of right tackle was Jim Brown, the other senior on the squad. This was his first year of playing although he was out his other three years. Jim slowed down a little as the season progressed with a knee injury. The right end position was held down by a robust fellow from Indiana. Jack Stabler, one of the bigger fellows on the squad, was a junior, but his services won't be here next year because he has moved away. Jack scored one of our only two touchdowns. Bob Thompson, another promising sophomore, took part in the backfield, playing right half. Bob was rather light and young but will be good the next two years. At the other halfback spot was a junior--Leonard Jones. Leonard played his lest game against Tuscola this year, even though Bill Chilton accidentally stepped ..T.1'lE..P.Q5iI..-...,..-,f.. in his eye during the last quarter. This year was his first year on the first eleven. The fullback spot was taken care of by a converted guard of last year's squad. Paul Gilpin is built like a fullback and did a nice job of blocking and plunging for the Rajahs. Paul has another year to go. There are some other fellows who should be mentioned. Jim Sanders, for instance, a sophomore, took over for Jack Stabler at end when Jack suffered a sprained ankle. Jim played some fine ball for no more experience than he has had. Another fellow who was a freshman and was pretty small but made up for this in his speed and shiftiness was Phil Waters. Phil played in every game and scored the other touch- down for the Rajahs. Another sophomore who earned his letter at a reserve tackle spot was Warren Moore. Don Mosbarger is lanky and rather light but plenty tough and has lots of courage. He has two more years to make the varsity end position. Another letter-winner, John Hamilton, a freshman, played a bang-up game on defense as a linebacker and was splendid in his plunges from his fullback position. Wayne Benner earned a letter as a freshman and was a regular his sophomore and part of his junior years. He didn't get to play all of his junior year because of a knee injury received in the third game of the seasong neither did he play his senior year because of a broken leg received in an accident. As the manager this year he took care of the athletic equipment in fine shape and was one of our best rooters. NAME HEIGHT WEIGHT AGE YR.

After we had plugged our way down to their 25 yard line, Chilton faded back and threw an aerial to Stabler, who was standing in the end zone. The point failed by inches. Lovington struck back in the third period, tearing the Rajahs' defense apart and, with the ball on the Rajahs' two yard line with four downs to go, pushed across the tying marker. The plunge for the point was throttled by the Rajahs' defense, and the game ended in a 6-6 tie, as neither team could penetrate the other's defense in the fourth period. ATWOOD 6 VILLA GROVE 7 We came close to another tie but couldn't quite make it. Neither team was able to score in the first period, but in the second period Bill Marlatt and Jim Reynolds began to move for the Blue Devils. This ended with Reynolds hurling himself over the last two feet of the gridiron for 6 points. Marlatt plunged for the point after, and the score rested at 7-0 until mid-way in the third quarter. Then Chilton faded back and flipped a sleeper pass to Waters, which was good for 20 yards and a touch- down. The kick was blocked, and with neither able to score again, the game ended 7-6. ATWOOD 0 CERRO GORDO 14 We came close to upsetting the conference leading eleven but failed by 14 points. In three plays we scored what seemed to be a touchdown when Gilpin had the ball taken away from him on the goal line. We didn't have much offensive thrust after that. The first half was a scoreless battle. On the kick-off of the second half Wayne Alberts sprinted along the west sidelines for eighty yards to set up the first touch- down. Big 219-pound Pete Gatrois then plunged for three yards, with Cole sneaking the remaining distance for 6 points. He also added the point after. The second counter came soon after when Gatrois dropped back and whipped an aerial to Bob Cole, who covered 55 yards before being stopped on the three yard line. He sneaked over again from his quarter-back position. Alberts then darted across to end the scoring, and the game ended 14-0. ATWOOD 0 BEMENT 26 The Bulldogs of Bement were just too much for our young material and romped over us with a 26-0 count. Strater and Hooper were the big guns in the Bement attack. The Bulldogs went over twice in the first quarter, with Strater scoring all thirteen points, going over from the 2 and 12 yard markers and plunging for extra point. In the second quarter Hooper showed some of his scoring ability as he skirted end for a 6 pointer. In the second half the Rajahs showed up well by completing 8 of 12 passes, moving twice down deep into Bulldog territory but didn't have the punch to push the pigskin across the goal line. In the fourth quarter Hooper again scored for the Bement eleven, and Morey flipped a pass to Lawson for the point after to end the scoring. The ball game ended 26-0. ATWOOD 0 ARTHUR 26 We went down to Arthur with a good chance to get into the win column in the Okaw standing as the Knights hadn't won a game either. It turned out as a rout for the Arthur crew as we played some poor ball. The contest was close for the first three periods being 6-0 although the Knights had pushed the ball deep into the Rajah 'MTHEPBST if mg territory only to be stopped by the Rajahs' defense. The blow came during the last few minutes when the Arthur eleven began to intercept the Rajahs' desperate passes to try to score. As a result the Knights crossed our goal line three times and added a couple of extra points to make the final count 26-0. ATWOOD 0 NEWMAN 32 This is the game every team wants to win. Newman, who ended the season as the champs, was too much for us. The Redskins were a well balanced club and had too much experience for us. We took defeat. Derby started the scoring on a short plunge after a sustained drive had covered 40 yards. A short time later Don Hender- son, star half-back, scored on a five yard end run to push the score to 12-0, as both extra points failed. In the second quarter Henderson cut loose on another scoring spree, sprinting eighty yards for the goal. He kicked the point to end the first half 19-0. In the second half the Redskins tallied twice more and added an extra point. Wilcoxin plunged over from the three, and Mclntyre took a forty yard aerial from Henderson, standing in the end zone. Henderson added the point making the score 32-0. ATWOOD 0 TUSCOLA 34 This was our last game of the season and our best although the score doesn't show it. Frank Marler sparked the Warriors' attack with three touchdowns. The Warriors counted in every period and twice in the third. Dean Marler sprinted for 35 yards for one score. Carl Simmons also chalked up six points while Logan, Mc- Clennon and Sanderson added extra points. This made a season's record of six losses and one tie. u 'F s i 'i FOOTBALL SQUAD First Row: Gene Robinson, Arnold Downs, Ronald Greve, Bob Bushell, Wayne Jones, Carl Anglin.

We were young and inexperienced, but we had a better season than was expected by most of the follow- ers. We ended winning ten of 22 gamesg five of the ten were conference games. We scored 744 points to our opponents' 830. There were 19 fellows who reported for the squad of which only ten made the grade as varsity players. Bill Chilton, a senior and the only returning varsity letter- lnan, played one guard and captained the team. Bill won the free throw trophy for the second time. This was his fourth year as a varsity member. The other guard on the starting five was the most promising freshman product of the year, Phil Waters. Phil played every game for us and was second both in scoring and in free throw averages. At center we had another senior, the only other one, Lee Henneberry. Lee was tall and lanky and played his best game against his former school, Hammond. Lee proved to be a valuable cog in the machine as a rebounder. Gene Weir, a junior, played one forward spot for the Rajahs. He also played some games for the Rajahs in the pivot spot. By the end of the season, he was one of the best rebounders on the squad. Jim Gregory, a shifty little sophomore, played the other forward spot and was one of the best shots on the team. Jim was a deadly shot from the side, and he was fast enough to maneuver around his man for his favorite shot. Leonard Jones, a junior, split the time with Gregory and Henneberry at one of the forward spots. He proved to be quite a defensive rebounding man. A promising sophomore, Jim Sanders, played in most of the games and was really adept with his fingers and many times had the opponents wondering where the ball had disappeared. Sandy also was a good shot. John Hamilton, a stocky freshman, played enough to get his letter and was a fine defensive man. THE POST Paul Gilpin, a junior and probably one of the hardest workers on the squad, played his quota of games and earned his letter. He likes his fax orite one-handed push shot from out in front. Paul Dean Weatherholt, a freshman and the tenth man on the team, was probably the calmest and coolest player the Rajahs possessed. Other fellows who were out for the squad and played in some of the second team games were: juniors-Myron Reddeng sophomores-Jack Mathes, Don Mosbarger, Carl Anglin, Frank Weatherholtg freshmen-Arnold Downs, Ronald Greve, Gene Robinson. BASKETBALL GAMES ATWOOD 26 VILLA GROVE 22 This was our first game of the season. Our team was an untried product. We made a lot of mistakes, as we were all jittery. At the end of the first quarter we held a 3-2 advantage. We increased our lead to 9-4 at the half, but this was cut down to two points at the third quarter, 18-16. In the last quarter the Rajahs gained back their two points and were victorious. Hamilton, Sanders, Weir, Chilton, and Waters started the game. Chilton lcd the scoring with 13 tallies, while Henderson had 8 for Villa Grove and Waters 10 for the Rajahs. ATWOOD 33 HAMMOND 30 Our second game we traveled to our neighboring town of Hammond for our second victory. We took Hammond in the fourth quarter and came out the winner. We took the lead in the first quarter 9-7 but lost it in the second stanza and trailed at half time 14-11. In the third quarter we dropped three more, and it looked as if the Rajahs were doomed as we trailed 23-17 going into the fourth quarter. Lee Henneberry, a former Hammond student, came into the picture and almost single handed beat his old Alma Mater by pouring seven straight baskets through the hoop for the Rajahs and, with a little assistance, the Rajahs overcame the lead and ousted the Hammond crew 33-30. Henneberry was thc chief point-maker for the Rajahs collecting 14 to Bill Legge's total of 17 for Hammond ATWOOD 23 LOVINGTON 37 Our next game and our first defeat was at home with the Panthers of Lovington in a contest in which the Panthers clawed out a victory over the Rajahs. The Panthers were hot and had a lot of rebounding strength over the locals. With Bill Roley, collecting 12 points and his teammate, Don Rose, picking up 10 more, they were just too much for the Rajahs. The Panthers took the command early in the game and never gave it up as they led at the quarter 14-6. They pushed this lead on to 22-11 at the end of the first half. At the end of the third stanza the Rajahs trailed 29-17 and lost two more points in the final quarter finishing 14 points behind. Weir and Chilton split the scoring honors with six points apiece. l.......fQ.,.T5iE.FQEiFQf .... ATNVOOD 35 VILLA GROVE 25 In our return game with Villa Grove, we did a better job and were victorious by a wider margin 35-25. In the first quarter the Rajahs piled up a lead of 6-3 and added three more points to this to make a six point margin going in to the second half. The Blue Devils threw a scare into the Rajahs the third quarter, as they scored 14 to the Rajahs' 11 and made the third quarter score 24-23. The Rajahs put on the finishing touches in the final stanza by scoring 11 counters to the Devils' 2. Bill Chilton paced the Rajahs with 19 tallies, while Gire picked up 13 for the Blue Devils, and Waters dumped in 11 for the locals. ATWOOD 28 HAMMOND 29 Hammond was over to get revenge, and they got it as they defeated the Rajahs 29-28. It looked bad for the Rajahs at the end of the first quarter, as they trailed the Wildcats 9-6. After the first quarter the Rajahs found themselves, and out-scored the Wildcats in the remaining three periods but cou1dn't quite overcome the margin which the Hammond crew held over them. At the half the score was still in the Wildcats' favor 15-12. In the third stanza the Rajahs gained another point on the Wildcats to make the score 22-20 going into the final quarter. In this frame the locals gained one more, but it wasn't enough to overcome the margin which the Wildcats held at the end of the first quarter. Bill Chilton and Bill Legge led their teams with scores of 16 and 12 points, respectively. ATWOOD 44 ALUMNI 43 In the annual tilt with the Alumni, the Alumni were favored to win, as they had many stars from recent years back to play with them compared with the young and inexperienced team which the locals had this year. The Rajahs pulled the trick and defeated the Alumni by a very close margin of 44-43. This was one of the best games the Rajahs had played all year. They came from behind to win as the score at the first quarter was resting in favor of the Alumni 13-9. This margin was narrowed down by half time, as the score was 23-21 as the teams went down to the dressing rooms for their short rest period. In the third stanza the locals finally overcame the Alumni lead and were out in front going into the fast and furious last canto 32-29. The lead changed hands many times in the scintillating last quarter, but when the horn sounded the warning that the last second had ticked away, the students were ahead 44-43. Bruce Carroll, returned navy veteran and player of '44-'45, led the Alumni scoring with 12 points to Bill Chilton's 17 for the high school. ATWOOD 53 ' CERRO GORDO 66 We probably scored enough points in this game to beat any team in the conference but not enough to beat Cerro Gordo, as we were beaten by Gordy on their home floor 66-53. The Rajahs threw a scare into the Bronchos in the first half and were holding the lead in the first quarter 14-12. In the second canto the Bronchos out-scored the Rajahs 18-12 and led 30-26. The third stanza hurt the Rogers bunch more than any other as they out-scored us 19-11 which put the Klotz crew out in front by a comfortable margin going into the last frame. This was a nip and tuck quarter as the Bronchos scored 17 to the Rajahs 16 and the game ended with the Bronchos victorious 66-53. Gissinger, Cole, and Morgan were big guns in the Cerro Gordo attack, each picking up 20, 18, and 14 respectively. Everyone scored for THE POST Atwood with Chilton getting 21, Henneberry and Waters 9, and Weir and Sanders collecting 7 apiece. ATWOOD 31 NEWMAN 41 The first three periods the Rajahs outulaved the Redskins, and it looked as if they might overcome the experience and speed of the visiting team, but the fourth quarter put a climax to everything as the Redskins took complete control of the game. In the first stanza the locals trailed only by one point 17-16. The third period was battled on even terms with each counting 11 apiece. In the fourth quarter the Redskins dumped in 13 points to the locals four, and the game ended with the Redskins going home with a victory under their belt 41-31. Henderson led the Redskins with 17 points, closely followed by his teammate McIntyre with 12, while Chilton collected 13 to be high man for the Rajahs. ATWOOD 34 ARCOLA 43 This was probably one of the worst games the locals played all year. It was almost evident at the end of the first quarter that the Rajahs were in for a beating as they trailed 9-6. But the Rajahs by half time had pulled up 15-15. The third canto just about broke the Rajahs' backs as they were outscored 17-7 which proved to be the difference in the game. In their fourth stanza the Rajahs outscored the Riders 12-11, and the game ended 43-34. Joe Patridge, high scoring guard, proved to be too much for the Atwood five as he dumped in 21 points. Bill Chilton picked up 15 points during the tussle. ATWOOD 34 MONTICELLO 56 We traveled up to the county seat to meet the Sages in a conference game. The Rajahs only managed to outscore the Sages in one of the four periods. In the first canto the Sages made the Rajahs look helpless as they piled up a 22-5 lead over them. But the Atwood crew came to life and outscored the Sages in -the second quarter 14-11, and the score rested at 33-19 at half time. The Sages coasted in on their lcad in the second half and held a third quarter lead of 44-25 and game margin of 56-34. Tate, Lord and Hayes scored 14, 13, and 11 respectively for the Sages, while Chilton dumped in 14 for the Rajahs. ATWOOD 22 CERRO GORDO 39 This is Piatt County Tournament time, and the Rajahs were to meet the Bronchos again. The Rajahs felt easier about this game after having played the Bronchos a good game earlier in the season, but they were almost too easy. The Bronchos ran up a score of 12-4 at the end of the first quarter and added two more to this to make it a 22-12 half time advantage. In the third canto they added two more to make the score 28-16. The final quarter found the Bronchos stomping the Rajahs for five more and their second win 39-22. Dick Morgan and Bob Cole paced the Bronchos with 11 and 12 points respectively, while Gene Weir and Phil Waters topped the Atwood scoring with six apiece. ATWOOD 44 OAKLAND 30 Victory is here again, and the Rajahs needed the morale builder. The Oaks were a weak team in the conference, and although the Rajahs v:frcn't too strong, they didn't cause them any trouble. The Rajahs in their fast breaks piled up a com- fortable margin of 12-3 at the first period. In the second period the Rajahs THE POST scorched the nets with 11 more points to the Oaks 6, making the half time margin 23-9. The third quarter found the Rajahs still warm after the cooling off period and added 13 more to their total as the Oaks picked up 9. In the final canto the reserves took over, and the Oaks outscored the locals 12-8 but couldn't overcome their lead, and the Rajahs had won their first conference game 44-30. Bill Chilton had a good night for 19 points, as Miller got six for the Oaks. ATWOOD 37 BEMENT 30 The Rajahs were on the ball during this game. The Rajahs were all over the floor intercepting passes, blocking shots and making baskets. lt was a close first stanza with the visiting Rajahs ahead 11-10. The second quarter seemed to be the best quarter as the Rajahs tallied 10 points to the home team's three. The Bulldogs took a chunk out of the Rajahs' lead as they scored 10 to the Rajahs' 7 in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the -Rajahs managed to hold their lead and add a couple to it and come out with a 37-30 victory, one of the few wins away from home. Moery, Eckstien and Postlewait led the Bulldog scoring with seven points apiece, while all the Rajahs scored with Jim Gregory pacing them with nine. ATWOOD 25 SULLIVAN 32 Aldridge and company were too much for the locals. The Sullivan crew jumped into an early lead and never lost it. It was 12-5 at the first period, and with only 2 points added to the Rajahs' score in the second canto, the Rajahs left the floor trailing by a wide margin of 20-7. The third quarter was somewhat better, as the locals scored 8 to their 10, but they were still trailing 30-15. In the final canto the Rajahs played a little better ball outscoring the Redskins 10-2, as the Redskin regulars were resting calmly on the bench. Aldridge led the Sullivan crew with 12 points while Chilton paced the Rajahs with 11 points. ATWOOD 38 ARTHUR 49 It was a game with their closest rival for the Rajahs and also defeat. Randolph and Dicks were plenty warm and kept the Knights on top. At the end of the first quarter the Rajahs were closer to the Knights than any time in the ball game, with the score at 11-6. The Knights added four more in the second canto making the intermission score 25-16. The third and fourth quarters were played almost on even terms as the Knights scored a one point advantage in each stanza making the third period score 40-30 and the final 49-38. Randolph and Dicks led the Arthur Knights with 12 points apiece while Chilton dumped in 21 tallies for the Atwood quintet. ATWOOD 28 ARCOLA 32 This was our first and last game in the Okaw Valley Tournament. Chilton was slowed down with a sprained ankle which handicapped the Rajahs too much. The Riders jumped into an early lead and led all the rest of the first quarter 7-4. The Rajahs then rushed back into the ball game and at half time were still very much in the ball game at 13-13. In the third canto the Riders turned on the steam and jumped into the lead 28-23. The Rajahs outscored the Riders in the last stanza but not enough as they came out on the short end 32-28. Lyons, a freshman, and Phil Waters, a freshman, led their respective teams with 9 points apiece. THE POST ATWOOD 43 BEMENT 36 The Rajahs jumped back into the winning column as they scored 31 points against the Bulldogs in the last half. Bement acted as if they were going to give the Rajahs a bad time as they rolled up a 6-3 lead at the end of the quarter, but by half time they were leading only by a slim margin of one point 13-12. When the end of the third canto came the locals were out in front 25-24 and then went on to add six more to it to make a final score of 43-36. Curry was hot for the Bulldogs as he dumped in some nice buckets for 10 points, while Jim Gregory and Bill Chilton paced the Rajahs with eleven apiece. ATWOOD 18 NEWMAN 52 This was our first visit to the new Newman gym. The Rajahs seemed almost helpless as the Redskins were all over the floor pouncing on the ball. It was evident that the Redskins were out for a victory as they rolled up a first quarter score of 13-5. By half time it was 25-9g by the third quarter it was 39-10. The reserves took over in the last quarter, but they still outscored the Rajahs 13-8 and made the final 52-18. Mclntyre and Henderson led the Redskins with 16 and 13 points re- spectively. Phil Waters tallied one basket and four gift tosses to lead the Rajahs with six points. ATWOOD 34 ARTHUR 31 This was a happy night in Atwood as it always is when the locals beat Arthur. It was a fast and furious game with the Rajahs in command all during the contest. The locals jumped into the lead early and at the end of the quarter were out in front 13-9. At this point Zeke Galbreath dumped in a few nice shots to make the half time score a deadlock at 19 all. The Atwood five jumped back out in front in the third canto 30-26. In the last quarter the Knights outscored the Rajahs but only by one point, and the Rajahs came out with another conference victory 34-31. Zeke got 14 tallies while Chilton registered 13. ATWOOD 48 CERRO GORDO 38 It was all Atwood in the third game with the Bronehos on the Rajahs' floor. The Rajahs were red hot as Chilton hit four straight, and everybody else in turn dumped in one apiece. It was a fast pace the first quarter, and in eight minutes the locals had scored 21 points to the Bronehos' 5. By half time the locals had increased their lead to 20 points, 29-9. The Bronehos outscored the Rajahs in both of the last quarters but the Rajahs had too much of an advantage for them to overcome. The third quarter score was 37-21, and the final score 48-38. Bob Cole, conference high scorer, collected 15 tallies to Bill Chilton's 18. Gregory also added 12 more to the Rajahs' cause. ATWOOD 35 LOVINGTON 31 The Rajahs traveled to Lovington to make up for an eaily defeat handed them Ivy the Panthers. It looked doubtful if the Rajahs were going to turn the trick as they trailed 10-5 at the end of the first stanza. The Rajahs came to life in the second period and held a half time lead of 17-12. The third period was nip and tuck with each team scoring 7 points, but in the fourth stanza the Panthers gained one on the Rajahs, and the game ended 35-31. Dean Devore paced Lovington with 15 THE POST biA'bllx points, while Chilton led Atwood with 14. ATWOOD 31 ARTHUR 38 It was district tournament time, and the Knights didn't seem to want to be eliminated. The Knights jumped into the lead at the first quarter, 9-5, and never gave it up as they held quarter leads of 18-10, 29-23, and 38-31. Zeke Galbreath led the Knights with a nice evening's total of 20 points, and Chilton of the Rajahs collected 14. This was the Rajahs' last game of the season. It proved to be a more interesting season than was predicted. The Rajahs ended with a .425 percentage of games won during the season, including the three games lost in tournament play. For the games in the regular season's schedule, 10 games won and 9 lost gives a winning percentage of .526. THE PCDST MUSIC DEPARTMENT BAND In November of 1946 the senior band elected its officers for the year 1946-47. All officers are members of the junior class: president, Paul Gilpin, vice president, Gene Weir, secretary, Helen Quickg treasurer, Barbara Eagang and student council representative, Martha Jividen. The high school marching band, led by drum majorette Joanne Lewis and twirlers -Lucille McGinn Miller, Ruth Benner, Shirley Richardson, Dorothy Parsons, Jeannie Bishop, Peggy Stabler and Shirley Ann Seyfert-put on marching demonstrations for the home football games during the '44, '45 and '46 seasons. The senior band played for the junior class play, Ever Since Eve, which was held in the new gym on Friday night, December 6, 1946. Pieces they played before the play started were Adoramus Te, a choral, Dauntless, an overture, and an arrangement of The Bells of St. Mary's. On Sunday, December 15, 1946, at 3:00 p. m. the senior band, assisted by the Girls' Chorus, gave an hour's concert.

A picture and write up of Joanne Lewis appeared in the February issue of the School Musician, a national music magazine, mentioning the honors and medals she has won on the flute. She has won nine first place medals, played first flute in the high school band for nine years. Joanne is a pianist of 13 years experience and does ballet and toe dancing. At the close of the article, the School Musician predicted success for Joanne Lewis of Atwood, Illinois, and that she would be worth watching. Pl' 21 Pk Pk tis Pk i Pk P? The first music contest for 1947 was held on March 29, 1947, at Charleston State Teachers College, Charleston, Illinois. Those winning first place went to Macomb, Illinois, on April 9. BAND CLINIC AT MONTICELLO Tne senior band went to a Piatt County Band Clinic at Monticello on February 21, 1947. Mr. Weller selected 27 members in the band and 21 choral students to play and sing in the clinic during the day. Those who did not play listened to the music, saw movies and attended section rehearsals and instruction classes. Selected members of the girls' chorus also rehearsed in the mass chorus of 150 voices. In the evening, after the entire day was spent rehearsing, the mass band and chorus put on a program for the public. The band music consisted of marches, overtures, boogie-Woogie and novelty numbers. The chorus sang religious and secular pieces. After some Piatt County band leaders heard Joanne Lewis play her piccolo solo at an Atwood band concert this winter, they selected her to be the soloist of the evening at the clinic. She played a flute solo Fantaisis Caprice by Pares. She was accompanied by Mrs. G. R. Hamilton. THE POST BAND OFFICERS Barbara Eagan, Helen Quick, Paul Gilpin, Gene Weir, Mr. Weller, Martha Jividen.

The singing was followed by two piano numbers Cordoba, a Spanish serenade by Albinez, and Run, Run by Octavio Pinto, from the selection Child Memories, played by Joanne Lewis. MUSIC FURNISHED FOR CIVIC GROUPS AND SCHOOL FUNCTIONS The music department of the high school has furnished a lot of music for various programs, banquets and school functions. In the early part of this winter the Lions Club held a banquet at the high school. Joanne Lewis played a piccolo solo and was accom- panied by Mrs. Hamliton, and Kimmel Quick played a piano solo. The music department furnished music for the FFA banquet Monday evening on March 3, 1947. The music program given was a piano solo by Margie Harder, bass solo played by Charles Harshbarger, and a vocal solo sung by Mr. Weller, director. Band members also took part in the United Church Service on Fri- day night, March 7, 1947, at the Methodist church. The music on the program was a cornet quartet consisting of Paul Gilpin, Hollis Eyestone, John Hamilton and Arnold Downs. The next day, March S, some of the band members appeared on the Atwood Woman's Club program. Bob Gilpin played a drum solo, and a clarinet quartet made up of Joan Hamilton, Charlotte Gilpin, Rose Ann Rogers and Mr. Weller also per- formed. The senior band furnished music before the senior class play, Clarence by Booth Tarkington, which was given on April 25. This year the high school band played the processional and re- cessional for Baccalaureate and Commencement programs. Musical selections were presented on both programs by the music department which included musical prologues in the form of appropriate concert band music. h101 Dj1ni4 THE POST CONCERT BAND Standing: Mr. Weller, Donald Cordts, Melvin Fay, Norma Crist, Robert Gilpin, Ronald Greve.

STUDENT COUNCIL The student council was organized in the Atwood High School in December, 1937, with the purpose of promoting in appropriate ways the welfare of the school and of each student enrolled therein. A constitution was drawn up which provided for eight student members and two faculty members, with the principal as adviser. The student council originally consisted of two fiom each class, one a boy and one a girl. Several amendments have been made to the constitution. One major amend- ment provided that one member from each class be elected to hold over until the following year, and that the council be enlarged to include a representative from each organization in addition to the four classes' representatives. At the beginning of each year one representative is elected from each class with the exception of the freshman class which elects two representatives. Other minor amendments were that regular meetings were to be held once each week and that the president was in- vested with power to call a special meeting. The two faculty members are chosen by the faculty, one man and one woman. The members of the council serve for one year, or until their successors are chosen. Each member of each class votes for the boy and girl in his class whom he thinks most capable of representing the class as members of the council. The officers consist of president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, who are elected by the council. The president must be one of the senior members. If the president is a girl, the vice president must be a boy, and vice versa. Officers elected this year were Max Roderick as president, Margie Harder, vice presidentg Jean Cravens, secretary-treasurer. Members who attended the District Convention of Student Councils November 2 at Urbana were Max Roderick, Jean Cravens, Betty Randall and Bob Sutter. The student council raised money by sponsoring a dance December 20 after a basketball game. The organization operated a check room during the Okaw tourna- ment. It also levies 2 per cent tax on all concessions operated by school organizations. The student council decorated the Homecoming queen's throne. A few of this year's council recommendations were that cheerleaders be awarded letters at the end of the season, that the numbers on the service flag be corrected, that the light re- flections on the flag in the new gym be fixed, and that the basketball bankboards in the old gym be removed. These are only a few of the many of the year's accomplishments. THE POST STUDENT COUNCIL Standing: Nancy Weir, James Gregory, Betty Randall, Robert Sutter, Rita Walsh, Phillip Waters, Martha Jividen.

Lois Jones and Gladys West are production editors for the paper. The name of AT-TO-HI was taken from the Bement High School paper BE-TO-HI. Publication of the AT-TO-HI started in 1936 and still is a project of the English and commercial departments. The paper has as its advisers Mrs. Louise Bean and Mrs. Blanche Bishop. The AT-TO-HI is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Quill and Scroll, and the Illinois High School Press Association. Each fall delegates and the sponsors attend the State High School Press conference at the University of Illinois. All copies of the paper are sent in twice a year to the School of Journalism at the University cf Minnesota for criticism by National Scholastic Press Association and holds a superior rating. In order to obtain this rating the staff eliminated the gossip column, included class coverage as well as extra-curricular, and endeavored to give space to things of importance beyond actual boundary of building and class rooms. A newcomer to the AT-TO-Hi pages this year was Egbert, a model of what the ideal boy isn't. Kimmel Quick, staff artist, was his creator. Egbert was named by Mary Elizabeth Eyestone. From time to time during the year, staff members with their articles in on time had lagniappe meetings in the form of coke parties, Pancake Day celebration, and Weiner roasts. oi1 THE POST FHA OFFICERS Betty Randall, Jean Collins, Miss Boyd fsponsorj, Ruth Benner, Mrs. Lloyd Murphy 1Chapter Motherj, Betty Kennedy, Rita Walsh.

The Atwood Chapter of the FHA of 1946-47 elected Ruth Benner as presidentg Betty Kennedy, vice presidentg Betty Randall, secretary-treasurerg Rita Walsh, re- porter, Wanda Oye, student council representative. Miss Eloise Boyd is the sponsor. They started the year with a slumber party on October 25. This party was to initiate the 13 incoming members, making the total membership 29. At a sectional meeting at Mahomet in October the Atwood delegate, Jean Collins, was chosen as Sectional President. It was decided at this meeting that the annual rally would be held at Villa Grove on March 22. This Year the girls chose as their first Chapter Mother, Mrs. Lloyd Murphy. The Chapter presented Mrs. Murphy with a pin and earring set at Christmas time. Mrs. Murphy gave the Chapter a hand blown buffet set for their department. The FFA gave a Christmas party with the girls as guests. In return the girls prepared and served the annual FFA banquet for the boys on March 3. During the football and basketball seasons the club sold hot dogs, barbecues and coffee. The girls have made about 35125. They plan to spend part of the money for a dinette set to be used in the kitchen. They also had a party in April. At the close of school the Chapter entertained their mothers, the eighth grade girls and their mothers at a tea and style show.

L owell Dorjahn The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of students interested in vocational education in agriculture, the purpose of which is to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, to develop rural leadership, and to create an interest in farming as an occupation. The organization has four grades of membership based upon achievement. These grades are: 1. Green Hands, 2. Future Farmers, 3. State Farmers, and 4. American Farmers. Not more than 2 per cent of thc boys in the state studying agriculture may achieve the third degree and only those who excel may become American Farmers. The insignia of the F F A is made up of fpur symbolsg namely, 1. a cross sestion of an ear of corn, representing common agricultural interests, since corn is native in America and grows in every state, 2. the owl, representing knowledge and wisdom, 3. the plow, representing labor and tillage of the soil, and 4. the rising sun, rep- resenting a new era in agriculture. The F F A colors are corn gold and national blue. CHAPTER ACTIVITIES , Last year they began their Chapter activities before school officially opened. The Chapter was represented by several club members at the F F A. show in Decatur. These boys averaged more than 5,340 apiece in premiums. They hired a bus and took their entire membership along with the judging team to the Illinois State Fair. The judging team placed in the B division of the state. As a community service the local Chapter had an acre plot of certified Lincoln soy beans. Half of the plot was fertilizedg the other half was not. The effect of fertilizer was shown very clearly by this project. The soy beans made over 35 bushels to the acre. The F F A had a Weiner roast at Donald Co1'dts's home with a hay rack ride following. They collect dues at thc beginning of the year to help finance their club. For another money making activity the F F A Club makes concrete hog troughs which they sell to the farmers. Frank Bragg and Wayne Benner attended the national F F A convention at Kansas City, Missouri. They reported to the chapter on the various activities of the con- vention. After corn husking, the members went out to pick up corn after the picker. With THE PCST the money they made from this activity, they took a trip to Chicago to the Inter- national Livestock Show. During this trip they saw the Manteno State Hospital, Illinois State Penitentiary, Tribune Tower, W L S Barn Dance, the Horse Show, the Little Brown Church and the Municipal Air Port. Some of the members were given the opportunity to make a radio broadcast about the chapter over a near by radio station, W D Z. The F F A members sponsored a Christmas party for the F H A girls. The evening was spent by playing games, Christmas tree decorating race, exchange of gifts, and taking care of refreshments. The rest of the evening was spent dancing. During the Okaw Valley Tournament they had concessions as part of their money raising activities. They bought a refrigerated water fountain, which was placed in the main corridor of the school, in appreciation for the chance the school afforded them for making money. They held their annual Parent and Son Banquet with 32 members and their guests present. Richard Fay was selected as this year's honorary member. Charles Ramsden from San Francisco, California, entertained with his electronic novitar. This year the club has 32 active members and 7 honorary members. lioi THE PGST Lowell Dorjahn Frank Bragg, Donald Cordt FFA CHAPTER s, Paul Heinzelmann.
