One has mo-ved away, some have quit school, and some have come into our class making sixteen seniors who expect to graduate this spring. Freshmen initiation, getting acquainted, and adjusting to high school life kept us busy our first year. Officers for the year were: President-Ermil Lo-u Sanders, Vice President-Averw ill Dunblazier, Secretary-Treasurer-Gretchen Gerard. During our sophomore year we gained a new student, 'Char- lene Breiner, a transfer from La Harpe High. Floyd Luton was our President, Bobby Slusher, Vice President, and Bill Reamer, Secretary-Treasurer. Gretchen Gerard was one of the cheer- leaders that year. Our junior year was a very busy one. We sold cokes at all of the ball games and sponsored a donkey basketball game, to make money for our prom. We lost four members of our class this year-Bobby Slusher, Donald Hainline, Robert Hainline, and Thomas Murfin. Ermil Lou Sanders and Gretchen Gerard were chosen to go to Girls State. The class play Never Too Late and the Junior-Senior Banquet were the main attractions of the year. We did our best to make the pnom a big success, and foi the first time held it at Hotel Lam-oine in Macomb. Officers for the year were: President-Ermil Lou Sanders, Vice President- Charles Hensley, Secretary-Treasurer-Averill Dunblazier. Gret- chen Gerard was a cheerleader again this year. During our senior year we held bake sales, raffled cakes, and sold hot dogs and steamburgers at the ball games to make money for our senior trip. Averill Dunblazier was our President, Dean Fisher, Vice President, and Ermil Lou Sanders, Secretary-Treas- urer. Miss Graham has been our adviser all four years. Charles Hensley was chosen as a member of the All-Confer- ence football team, and Dean Fisher was picked for the All-Con- ference basketball team. Ermil Lou Sanders received the D. A. R. award, and Ernest Chapin and Averill Dunblazier were Home- coming king and queen.

With Barrett and Reamer you couldn't compete Their stubborn streak was hard to beat Whenever an issue in class was made They'd always argue to try for a grade. Charles Williams was our boy for college He was really a clown, we had to acknowledge As his I. Q. was high above par We were sure that he would go far. Jacil Carter was a gay young thing She'd always oblige when asked to sing Her yodeling songs will someday fulfill Her greatest ambition to sing at Nashville. Dean Fisher was our basketball star He helped the Rams to go quite far He entered in the trumpet race And set for the others quite a pace. He talked on all subjects from A to Z His knowledge extended from sea to sea For our Junior play, he gave his all If you guessed Charles Hensley, you're on the Ernest Chapin a cool young chap He helped put B'ville on the map A track star, among other sports And Homecoming King by all reports. ball An artist pops up! Who could it be? Why Bob DeBold, who else but he He had his eye on a certain girl Charlene, to him, was quite a pearl. Averill Dunblazier, our homecoming queen, With Gretchen Gerard was often seen Their heads always buzzed with ideas galore They did their part and often more. Keith's curly hair was his pride and joy And we were proud of this certain boy He did his part on the football field To cause the opposing teams to yield. Ermil Lou Sanders in typing was at the top In class she'd surprise you with the question she d pop She won the D. A. R. award And was very deserving of this reward. Valda Jean Hunt, a dark-eyed lass Among the most popular of all in the class A girl of value to the B'ville school And to all her friends was a precious jewel. Floyd's stock of words was larger than most Having him with us we had reason to boast You saw him reading most of the time And now comes the end of F1oyd's little rhyme Joan Akers was in our class too She always worked hard for our senior crew Whenever needed she was always near To all of us she was quite a dear. Charlene Breiner was short and sweet Her pep was one thing hard to beat The poem is finished, no more time will we spend At last we can say, This is the end. 1 HNF F ,x if Q X 1 M 11 LJ Lib Am Q N X ,,-A f 'XX 2 ff N A.'l X t1:L-12513511 :i:1lf'51 ' x fi.. ..-- ' X -K: .f,. - X NNE, X5 f,1:1f:':' x, ,I K N AX- .

D ean Fisher Watchdog ......................................................... Ray Fowler During October we took two judging teams to Bushnell. The Fat Stock judging team was composed of George Myers, Richard Graham, Charles Hensley, Ernest Chapin, and George Stickle. The team placed 4th, with Ernest Chapin placing 6th, and Charles Hensley placing 9th in the individual ratings. The dairy team was composed of Dwight Whitehall, Ray Fowler, Joe Smith, Dean Fisher, and Cloyce Bray. Our Chapter put on a 15 minute program over WKAI. Boys participating in it were Dean Fisher, Billy McKeown, George But- terfield, James Lacy, Dean Brotherton, and Glen Torrance. Bob Wisslead and Ernest Chapin attended the leadership training camp at Camp Eastman on the East bank of the Mis- sissippi near Hamilton. The Chapter entered the County Parliamentary Procedure Contest held in Bushnell in March. Our team was Larry Foster, Chairman, Joe Smith, Secretary, George Stickle, Bob Wisslead, and George Butterfield. The team won 3rd place, and Larry Foster tied for 3rd place Chairman and Joe Smith 5th place Sec- retary. Our Chapter was host to the sectional contest. Schools par- ticipating in the contest were Good Hope, Bushnell, and Augusta. The placings were Good Hope lst, Bushnell 2nd, and Augusta 3rd. C. A. A. The G. A. A. is an organization composed of all the members of the girls physical education classes. Miss Brande was the sponsor this year. The activities for the year were centered around basketball and volleyball. We had two basketball tornaments with the classes competing against each other. These were followed by potluck suppers. A' VV e also played soccer baseball, had square dances, and var- ious other games. During the year we kept score cards for unorganized activi- ties. The purpose of these activities was to make points for G. A. A.. awards. The officers for 1949-50 were: President-Charlene Breiner, Vice President-Gretchen Gerard, Secretary and Treasurer - Luan Meriwether, Point Keepers-Valda Jean Hunt and Donna Robinson. Keep Moving The Junior Class presented the three act comedy, Keep Moving on November 10, 1949. The play was under the direc- tion of Miss Gordon. The east of characters included: Anne Baldwin, an attrac- tive girl of twenty-one, played by Marjorie Starbuckg June Harris, a good friend of Anne's, Linda McKoneg Rush Harris, June's brother, Richard Graham, Tom Jeffrey, a young man of 22 who is very interested in Anne, Dave Hainlineg Douglas Wells, a friendly good natured chap, especially interested in June, George Myers, Professor Edmund Enoch Randolph, a wiry little man of fifty, Gerry Fowler, Harriet Mason, the profcssor's secretary, Dora Harding, Emma Knight, a prying talkative neighbor of the Baldwins, Nelva Haffner, Loretta Phillips, a pretty girl of 19 determined to get Rush, Marilyn Bainterg Charity Lynn, the slow-moving, drawling maid, Shirley Shryackg and Sam Vine, a snooping detective, Billy McKeown. Trouble started when unwanted, trombone playing Professor Randolph arrived at the Baldwin home and announced that he intended to stay for the entire summer. He wasn't such a bad fellow, but that moaning trombone was enough to drive anyone into a nervous breakdown. It irritated Mr. Baldwin consider- ably and he has been away in the mountains trying to recover from last surnmer's episode. Now he is coming back and wants to find his house peaceful and quiet and his daughter, Anne, in- tends that he shall find it so. She thought it would be, until the Professor arrived for his second summer. To make matters worse, in comes Rush Harris who brings with him three big reas- ons for gray hairs. When the Professor accidentally drank some of Rush's powerful invention, things really began to happen. Senior Class Play W The Senior Class of 1950 presented a three act comedy, The Old Home Town on April 28, 1950. Miss Gordon was the direc- tor. Dean Fisher was stage manager. The plot wasl centered around the Irvings, a typical small town family. Mr. Irving owned an independent drugstore but was practically forced out of business by a chain store that had re- cently opened. He had a wonderful opportunity to buy a good paying hotel but found himself unable to make the down payment on it. Alice, the daughter, was supposedly a famous writer, but she shocked them all by confessing that she was a failure and had had her own book printed. Andy, a typical sixteen year old, pre- sented several amusing situations with his girl friend. Alice, who had been engaged to Clark Kent, before going to New York, learn- ed that he was nearly engaged to the banker's daughter. Things started popping when the banker's daughter made Clark appear to be a thief. The characters were: Henry Irving, a small town druggist, Floyd Lutons Irene Irving, his wife, Valda Jean Hunt, Andy, the sixteen year old son, Kermit Barrett, Alice, the daughter, Gretch- en Gerardg Tom Irving, Henry's brother who was a practical jok- er, Charles VVilliamsg Clark Kent, Alice's former fiance, Ernest Chapin, June Miller, the neighbor girl interested in Andy, Ermil Lou Sanders, and Carol Brewster, the spoiled banker's daughter, Averill Dunblazier.

The first public appearance was at the Christian Church for the Young People's Night at the Centennial celebration. Some of our students also sang for the Mother's Club several times throughout the year. The chorus also participated in the Sectional Contest held at Carthage. Two soloists, Linda McKone and Marilyn Banter, and the trio composed of Linda McKone, Marilyn Bainter, and Judy Britton entered the contest at Carthage also. In addition to our group projects, several soloists and small Vocal ensembles were active in school and various other activities. Pep Club The Pep Club is an organization formed to promote more enthusiasm and backing for all of our athletic events. When- ever possible We sat together at the games to enable us to have a better cheering section. We entered a float in the Homecoming parade. The theme of the float Was B'ville takes the cake.

The band held rehearsals all during the summer, giving week- ly concerts at the park. The band also played for both the af- ternoon and evening sessions at the Blandinsville Farmers' Picnic. The band's biggest moment of the year was marching in the Homecoming parade in October. This was their first exper- ience as a marching band. An all unit concert was given here in January and another all unit concert was given at Good Hope in May. Also during May the Blandinsville band presented a concert of its own. The band played at the 7th and 8th grade boys' Minstrel Show. There were several band entries in the District Contest at Carthage. Following is a list of students who participated and the rating they resecived: Charles Williams, drum solo, lst rating Joe Smith, baritone solo, lst rating.

'H Q41 T 3 4 35 L36 30 ' Q,-, 5 Basketball , Twenty boys reported for basketball including three letter- men, who were to form the backbone of the B'ville attack for the season. These boys were Dean Fisher, Bill McKeown, and .David Hainline. Coach Slater put the hoopsters through their paces for two weeks before the initial start at Terre Haute High. It just so happened that this was one of the most formidable op- ponents in this district, and the home team scored a 57-33 verdict. Later inthe year, after a steady five had been found to carry the fight better, this defeat was avenged on the B'ville court 57-38. The first victory came in the next start, as Warsaw bowed to a ball hawking B'ville crew, 35-29. A late rally by Good Hope's Bulldogs in the two teams first engagement of the season fell short by only 2 points, as the Rams eloped with a 30-28 victory. Perhaps the most thrilling game to be displayed before a B'ville crowd in a long time passed as the traditional rivals, La- Harpe, visited the local team in the sixth contest of the year. At the half the Eagles looked like a sure bet as they led 25-12, but the Rams came back fighting. The margin was erased, lost, and once more cut until Bill McKeown tied the score in the last three seconds, and the official game ended at 41 all. In the following overtime period a cool B'ville attack melted the LaHarpe defense, and the Rams had a thrilling 45-43 verdict to their credit. lndustry-Adair and Good Hope next fell victims in consecu- tive games to the Rams by scores of 43-27 and 41-25, the former providing sweet revenge for a 2-point defeat in the LaHarpe tour- ney. Good Hope held the Rams down for two periods, but B'ville broke away to finish with flying colors. In the first game at Prairie City the Rams played a sweet game, but bowed in the final two minutes to a superior height ad- vantage, 38-32. ln the return engagement B'ville had one of its off nights where nothing would go right and lost 48-22. After dropping two previous engagements to the Colchester Indians, the Rams finally managed to gain a scalp on their home floor, 45-40. This was one of the few games in which B'vi1le was never headed, taking advantage at the start, and clinging tenaciously to it throughout the contest. I Pnobably the best exhibition of sheer basketball courage against terrific odds was witnessed in the game of February 1 at Dallas City. Fighting to the bitter end, the Rams kept even, giving a lanky Dallas team all it could handle. Then the odds proved too great, as Dallas pulled away in the final two minutes. The Bushnell game could also be classed in this category. Bill McKeown had a superb night, hitting the high point score of 30 for the year. The team reached its peak in the final quarter as the Bushnell first team was outscored 27 -8. The final score read 72-57 against a team which won the County Tournament and gained the finals of the Regional. Football The B'ville Rams finished the football campaign with a won- lost record of 2 and 5. The capable new coach, Hano-ld Slater, found depth and size lacking as he formulated a sturdy Ram elev- en for the opener with LaHarpe. The night dawned clear and cool to enact the first game ever played on the newly-lighted LaHarpe athletic field. For the first half the Rams battled LaHarpe to the hilt, trailing only 13-6, as Bob Burford had skirted right end for the B'vi1le score, but the try for extra point was blocked. However in the last half, the superior LaHarpe size battled their way to two more T. D.'s, as the final score showed B'ville behind 27-6. V The home season opened the next Friday evening, as B'ville played host to a tough V. I. T. eleven. The well-conditioned B'ville team outplayed their opponents much of the way, with Davey Hainline tying the score at 6 all in the 2nd period on a 60 yard jaunt off left tackle. In the third period V. I, T.'s power plays pushed over one more tally to enable the visitors to eke out a thrilling 12-6 victory over the Rams. ' Hamilton furnished the next opposition for the local gridders in a game played on the river town's home field. Hamilton, one of the ring leaders in the LaMoine Valley Conference was a thoroughly surprised team as the game opened, when the speedy Rams raced around end five times and wound up with the ball rest- ing in pay dirt territory. However Hamilton displayed good recu- perative powers off the single-wing attack to grind out three touch- downs and tuck away the game, 19-6. The fourth game seems to have had all the ear-marks of the 13th, as we look back over that gruesome contest at Carthage. The blueboys proved too big and too many of them for our little Rams, but B'ville courageously tried all the way, making m-ost of their gains on short passes. Carthage received the verdict by the high score of 44-0, but that was three touchdowns less than the score they ran up last year on B'ville. - Once more, in a night game at Warsaw, B'vil1e was to receive the bitter twang of defeat. Warsaw was coached by a former B'ville High football star, Rollie Soule, and was a game we wish- ed to win, but were unable to do this as Warsaw racked up 27 quick points in the first half and managed to keep that lead the rest of the way. The game proved unusual in that neither referee showed up for the game, due to a misunderstanding, and the game proceeded an hour and a half late with Junior Metcalf and the Hamilton coach, Noah Hickman, doing the capable job of officiating. This delay didn't help any for the boys, as the score shows, but B'ville rather woke up in the last half, as they played Warsaw on very even terms. Then the B'ville eleven returned tothe local field to celebrate the first Homecoming on the new gridiron. Industry-Adair was to provide the opposition. Ray Hanson, of Western, was to de- dicate the field in special ceremonies previous to the game. But alas, old man weather stepped in with his hand and outbid all others. The rain poured down, but the dedication went on un- der tarpaulin. The Rams, keyed to high gear, rolled up the largest score of the season, as they crushed I-A, 20-7. B'ville was in command all the way, scoring in each of the first three quarters. Homecoming had proved the biggest success in years! Next Western High, LaMoine Valley Champs, played host to the Rams, and by steady drives downed the Rams 33-0. Western could garner only one touchdown the last half from the stubborn B'ville defense. It was one of the hardest games for our Rams, with several injuries resulting. To end the season, B'ville played host to Unity High of Men- don, coached by our former coach, Jack Kraushaar. Davey Hain- line opened huge ho-les through the Mendon line, and this ad- vantage proved just enough to squeeze past the tough visitors, 13-6. In order to win, the Rams were forced to make two heroic defenses inside the 20 yard line in the final stanza. From the point of winning the team was not too successful, but they were a well-conditioned squad which could have beaten any school of a size near their own. Chapin, Barrett, Reamer, Johnson, Fisher, and Hensley all graduate, but a good squad is expected next year to carry the hopes of the Blue and Gold. Team of 1949 B111 Reamer ............

'F ' The long chain of events was started with freshman initiation in the morning. The freshmen gave a program at school and then paraded around up town and had their pictures taken. Then everybody began a race with time to put last minute touches on their floats before the parade began at 1:30. The fol- lowing floats were entered: First prize of 5510 went to the Boy Scout float which portrayed a scene of camp life. Second- prize of S5 was given to the freshmen float. Thefloat had a miniature football field and all of the players were waiting for the kickoff. . The F. H. A. float had Mr. Slater and a group of small grade school boys representing his future team. This float tied for third prize with the senior float and got 852.50 in prize money. The senior float had a Mexican theme, Wc'll catch Industry napping. It also received 32.50 in prize money. The sophomore float was a hospital scene with Industry in the hospital. The pep club had a large cake with the slogan, B'ville takes the cake. The junior float carried out the theme of whitewashing Indus- try. The F. F. A. had two slogans which were clean Industry's plow and mow Industry down which were represented by the plow and mower. The parade Went down Main Street and stopped at the bank corner for a pep meeting. The Blandinsville band led the parade and the Good Hope band followed behind the floats. After the parade there was a. mad rush to get things ready for the game that night with lndustry-Adair as the opposing team. p The old weather man put a damper on our plans. It rained during the entire game and people were forced to go to their cars. The B'ville Rams played a good game, nevertheless, and won the game by a score of 20-7. - Immediately following the game everyone went to the high school gym for the annual Homecoming dance. Gail Byers' or- chestra provided the music. The gym was beautifully decorated with a Rhapsody in Blue theme. The highlight of the dance was the crowning of the king and queen. Ernest Chapin and Averill Dunblazier were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. Averill's attendants were Linda McKone, Donna Robinson, and Barbara Anderson. Bill McKe-own, Ed Hunt, and Wayne Johnson were the king's at- tendants. Carol and Cathie Hornbaker were crown bearers. Do You Remember? The day we got our new record player?
