For our freshmen officers, we had Helen De Young to head our class and be our president, Lois Vanderpal acted as our vice president, Cody Hollenbeck, our secretary, and Betty Halstead, our treasurer. For the Student Council, Betty Halstead and Sam Absher were elected to represent our class. Mrs. Hill was our capable advisor, who helped us with two candy sales and escorted us on a roller skating party. How we are getting older and smarter so we have advanced to the sophomore class. Lynn Judson now has the honor of being our president, Hilda Faber, our vice president, Sam Absher, our secretary, and Jim Wilbrandt, our treasurer. This year we selected Betty Halstead and Lynn Judson to represent our class in the Student Council. Mr. Hadley is our advisor. He escorted us to another roller skating party in McHenry. Now comes our big year, we are now Juniors. Clayton Ihrke is our president, Sam Absher, our vice president, Helen De Young, our secretary, and Carl Walde, our treasurer. Betty Halstead and Sam Absher are our Student Council represenatives. The theme for our Homecoming float is Swinging To Victory , for which we received first prize. For the home football and basketball games we sold candy, pop, and hot dogs. Just before Thanksgiving we had a card party and a turkey raffel. Our class gave a Hick Hop and Marie Adams was selected Queen and Josef Albrecht, King . For our Prom, which was very successful, Mr. Higdon, our very capable advisor, helped us decorate the gymnasium, to carry out the theme Deep Purple . This year we had an exchange student, Josef Albrecht, from Germany. This being our last year and a very busy one, we chose Sam Absher to be president, Eddie Rolls, vice president, Mary Meyers, treasurer, and Helen De Young, secretary. We decided to have another officer. We elected Bob Ellison as our general chairman. Cody Hollenbeck and Sam Absher were our Student Council represenatives with the latter president of the Student Council. This year we again had an exchange student, Otto Schweins, from Germany. We started the year with a big bang by breaking all previous records selling magazines. We had bake sales throughout the school year and a Stag, Hag, or Drag Dance . For Homecoming, Helen De Young was our Queen and Jim Wilbrandt and Clayton Ihrke were Co-Kings Mr. Stoikoff was selected to sponsor the class. As you can see our four years have been quite busy. We wish to thank our parents, teachers, and fellow students who made it possible for us to graduate.

While cruising along the street, I saw a sign, Marie's Plop-House ..Where the Elite meet to Eat. I found Marie happy in her Catburger heaven As I waited for rr.y order, who should come strolling through the door but Irma Fringer Voted The senior most likely to succeed,” and she had, in my estimation, certainly lived up to the title, as she was now a top Popover Model. After a short talk, Irma left, and I returned to Marie's Special.” But, coming to the conclusion that life is short � nuff without Marie's catburger, I wandered out to the main ”drag” again, coming face to face with my old pal, Mary Meyers. After asking her why the tan, she explained that she had just returned, for a brief stay, from ”you-alls” land. I remembered that in the good ole days traveling had been our main ambition. Thinking it over, I decided not to struggle through this fate alone, so we continued together Advancing up the street we saw a sign, Watches Repaired--As Long As Time Goes By Recognizing Carl Walde in the window, we entered the shop While hashing over things with Carl, we found that he was the sole owner of this thriving business. We were interrupted by a loud cheering sound, which Carl explained was a double-header baseball game being broadcast from Wrigely Field. Much to our amazement we heard the voice of Ruby Boelter giving us a play-by-play description of the game. Amidst all the hollering and shouting, who should come sliding into home plate but Jim Wilbrandt, first baseman for the Bubs. So Jim had become a professional after all! Much as we hated to tear ourselves away from the excitement, after much discussion of the situation, Mary and I left Carl and his Big Bens. Leaving the Main Drag” and turing on to a side street, we stared death in the face as Otto Schweins came zooming out of an alley. Catching a glimpse of the name on the truck, we turned around and found our- selves at the ”Week-Hardt” Dog Hospital. Inside pacing the floor was Bette Halstead. When asked why all the fuss and confusion, she started spelling a line of double-talk about a cocker being seriously injured on Prarie Avenue. As Bette had only a limited space to pace in, we decided to leave and give her more open spaces. Seeing a familiar John Henry on the other side of the washboard, we were about to cross when what should come crawling down the street but a hearse with Bob Pester at the wheel. So Bob was an undertaker! Hram, times HAD changed! Turning around we saw his place of business. Robert Pester--Undertaker--Our Prices Are No Stiffer Than Our Customers.” Knowing that we wouldn't find Bob in, we resumed crossing the street to our destination. Our Destination? Marilyn and Dick's Barber Shop. As we strolled into the shop, Marilyn came forward to greet us, waving a pair of shears in one hand and a razor in the other. With the thought of Hari-Kari in my mind, I asked Marilyn if her better half couldn't take care of the unfortunate customers, while we talked over current events. While Marilyn was talking about her career, in walked John Sohulz. John is the proud owner of John's Eager Beaver Lumber Camp. Dick started giving John a close shave with vim, vigor, and vitality, so we went on talking. While talking Francis Slavin Joined us. He looked very happy, and why not? Being an architect doesn't happen to Just everyone. It seems he designed modem chicken houses, for a chicken company, that were famous for their ability to bring out the needed qualities for entrance into the Val-Lo-Will chicken farm. While Francis and Mary were talking over the possibilities of the chicken becoming America's favorite dish, I asked Marilyn about some of her old psls. During the discussion she told me that Linda Staab was a bare-back rider for Dingling Bros, circus. Mentally checking off classmates I had visited, I came to Bob Ellison. But Marilyn solved the problem for me by saying Bob was 8 Home Ec. teacher at Yale and enjoyed the work immensely. As time was running short, we started for the door. Just as we were opening it Marilyn asked us if we'd like to go to the Grange dance that night. If we remembered correctly those things were more like rat races than dances, so we declined. Marilyn, Dick, and Francis chorused that we'd be sorry. Upon inquiring why, they told us Helen Borgeson was feature attraction of the evening. It seems she wss the key-tickler for Cody Hollenbeck's Hoedowners, with the Beer Barrel polka as her theme song. Much 88 we would like to go, Mary and I had to separate and travel forward, she to you-alls land and I to my lost week. Finding my helicopter fixed and filled with atomic energy, I decided to leave for California and, if necessary stop again on my return flight to blow about old times. Landing at the air field, I flagged a tsxi. Finding myself all in one piece, I was about to give the address to the driver when I recognized Lynn Judson in the front seat. Guess I must hsve looked stunified 'cuzz Lynn laughed and told me about Eddie end Lynn's taxi Bureau —renowned for getting people to their destination, dead or alive. Lynn mentioned the fact that Eddie had taught him to drive in the California traffic. About then I decided to fine out whether yours truly's insurance was paid in full. While furiously digging through my purse for my insurance policy, Lynn took off with one big Jerk (meaning me), but finding th8t I was worth $10,000, I decided to tske a chance anyhow. As he squeezed through a traffic J8ra he pointed to a billboard with Helen De Young's name in big bold letters, a-long with her picture. She was a fan dancer at Club Oriental, a must if you had decided to do the town up right. Knowing that I was going to do the town up right, Lynn kept naming off innumerable things to do end see. Among them was a visit to the famed Pork Club, where Judy Beck was a cigarette girl. I got out of the cab and ran into Hilda Faber, a news reporter on the Los Angeles Tattle Tale. She has been in California for three years. Hilda told me that Donna Allen was out in Hollywood. She was working for Metro-Goldwyn Meyer. She is a secretary to the big director. After leaving Hilda, I went into the Hotel Walderf-Eastoria where whom should be behind the desk but Clayton Ihrke. I talked with him 8nd found that he and Shirley Schroeder own the hotel, and he 8lso said that Sam Absher and Waifred Lundgren were in the Cherry Pie business. Waifred baked the pies and Sam sold them. I also learned from him that Pat Mansfield would be in Los Angeles the next day modeling 8 sink no more bathing suit. By this time nothing was a surprise to me, so I decided to look everyone up later that night. I finally asked for the key to my room. As the elevator wasn't working, the desk clerk cslled a bell-hop. Who should come walking toward me but Mr. Stoikoff, our old class advisor. While we were walking up to the 35th floor, he 8sked about the rest of the class, snd I gave him the same line that I have Just given you. So as not to overwork the line or myself, I will end this quick-like. 21 flilllll juntoRS 1st Ron- Mr. Hadley, Shirley Absher, Lloyd Holly, Gordon Wood, Bill Kluwe, Nancy Bottlemy, Jackie Blaksley. 2nd Row- Loretta Blackburn, Kathryn Dickerson, Loretta Olson, Carolyn Okeson, Kay Wiersma, Connie Dobbs, Nancy Rogers, Barbara Lange, Leona Fringer. 3rd Row- Richard Draftz, Dick Hiemann, Bob Mau, Wayne Spooner, Carlton Hunt, Bob Deates, Bill Hansen.

OUR FOOTBALL HISTORY It was way back in 1946 that football was first started in our high school. Who first thought of the idea isn't important; the fact that is important is that we were given the starting push. In our first season of football we had Mort Murphy as coach, and although things weren't too promising at times, he still believed and had faith in the players Just as the students did. The individual stars for this season, 47-48, were Gordon Tibbitts, Captain, and Francis Halstead. The 43-49 season pops up and we find a new leader as coach for our team. His name is Jim Flower. The individual stars for this season were Ray Horning and Captain Earl Seawall, now a member of the Air Force. The 49-50 season rolls around and little by little more Interest is being shown toward football. This season we had Floyd Sorenson as a coach; if you think back a few years you will remember that he stayed with us for the 50-51 season also. For the 49-50 season we chose a number of players as individual stars-the choosing was difficult because they were all very good players. Captain for this season was Ray Halstead. Individual stars were Bob Nichols, Bob Streit, Dave Nichols, and Bill Leschuck. During the 50-51 season Ronny Elliot was the outstanding player and Captain of the football team. The 51-52 football season is here and we again have a new coach—his name is Phillip Hadley, a young man Just fresh out of college. This season they couldn't choose a captain because two boys on the team were so outstanding that we had Co-Captains Dick DeYoung and Wally Adams. During the 52-53 season Mr. Phillip Hadley was again chosen as a leader for our team. Outstanding players were Ken Spooner, Jim Bergin and Wendel Calhoun. In 53-54, our last year in school, we find football very exciting. The students follow the team with hearts filled with happiness as we complete the most successful season yet. We Had Phillip Hadley as coach again. The individual stars—well we haven't heard any special ones mentioned so along with Captain Jim Wilbrandt-we are naming all the senior football players as individual stars. We hope that all the future seasons will be as successful as or more successful than this past season has been. 40 The Heacon Staff of 54 Queen Bette and King Jimmy, the lovely crown bearer Delay Adams and the peat queen Barbara De Haan, the handaome crown bearer John Mansfield and the pest king Ken Spooner strike a pose for us after the coronation. so t Pat Courtesy of E.
