But Lenore Hudson (Betty Vallero) has Just inherited a million dollars and has commissioned Jeff to build her a new house—which she hopes he will eventually share with her. Hy, the little tomboy, whose passion is foot- ball, hates Lenore because Lenore is building her house on their football lot and is starting to excavate the very day of the important football game. In an extremely funny scene, Hy puts a crimp in Lenorefs plans, but Peggy shields Hy and takes the blame herself. Jeff flares up at her. Peggy leaves thinking she doesn't have a chance competing with a girl who inherited a million dollars. Then Jeff realizes how much Peggy means to him. Hy gets her football squad out, and they bring Peggy back. Peggy, in her vague (but not so dumb) way, pulls a few tricks herself, which puts the million dollar baby out of the running. These players were ably assisted by Violet Ferjanoioh, Olga Motika, Mike Cebra, and Mary Ann Polio. Anna Kasioh acted as prompter. The play was a huge suooess due to the hard work of the cast and of our class sponsors, Mrs. Baker and Miss Gaydos. Together with the money made from the play and magazine subscrip- tions, we gave a delightful banquet. The scene represented an old fash- ioned flower garden with a brightly decorated porch off to one side. This was also the year when an exclusive organization was formed, namely the Six O'clock Scholars . To gain admittance to this organiza- tion one must have specifio qualifications, and if any are interested. Just get in touch with the four original six o'clock scholars or Mr. Marcacci. The next September we came back as Seniors with walking off with a sheepskin in May. the main object of Our athletes, which were outstanding all down the line, had become one of the best teams that ever passed through the school. Because of their hard work, they again brought home the South Central title, and we heartily agree they are tops. Of course, all of the forty-five Freshmen that entered sohool four years ago are not here now. Somewhere along the path we lost August Della Rocca, Walter Komanetsky, Lloyd Jarman, Clarence Rasure, Irene Lukachik, Bob Fritz, Rose Marie Murphy, Matt Katalinich, Faye Anderson, Frances Katalinich, Jim Thompson, Julia Jasinsky, and Paul Kosohak. Al- though the above are no longer with us, they shall always be a part of our class. CLASS FLOWER American Beauty Rose CLASS COLORS Blue and Gold 4 i r s F 4 4 4 4 4 4 d 4 4 U 1

CLASS PROPHECY by Antoinette Cappo As I ai sitting here by the record player, I look at the swirling diso and wonder what the class of ’47 will look like ten years from now. Everyone knows that clothes get soiled so easily, and that it is ex- pensive when you have so many to be cleaned. Why not try Emil Fritz and Alfred Purdy s Dependable and Economical Cleaning Shop? It seems as though it took Fritz and Purdy to start rebuilding the old town. Good work, men. On the next diso, there seems to appear three of our old seniors—— namely, Sue Polonius, Juanita Dobransky, and Wanda Hicks, who are working as secretaries in Chicago. Y atch the big city girls—it s pretty windy! I You may have seen Martin Berutti speeding through the streets of Benld in a »57 Studebaker with Charles Novak hot on his trail, ready to give him a ticket. Don’t become alarmed! Martin is the new Studebaker dealer for this vioinity. Looks like he’s followed his father’s footsteps. Charlie has Just been promoted to Chief of Police. Maybe someday you’ll run for County Sheriff, huh, Charlie??? Aside from being Marilucille’s devoted husband, Leonard Econie is draw- ing little pixies for Walt Disney. By the way, Mariluoille had graduated as X-ray technician from De Paul Hospital a few years ago. On the next disc there are two of our senior girls dressed in white nurse’s uniforms. They are Betty Jane Vallero and Antoinette Cappo. But wait! Betty seems to be setting this white uniform aside for another white outfit. Who’s the lucky guy, Betty?? Latest reports say th t. Nettie is going to stick to only one uniform. Could be!! The record One Meat Ball looks as though it may be Donald Koniak’s favorite song sinoe he’s head butcher in his new serve-yourself I.G.A. store. Did you ever hear that record, The Sun Shines Bright ? Anyway it surely is shining brightly on Edgar Polonius s navy uniform. He’s Admiral now, you know. Paul Koniak sure has worked himself up in this world. Can you imagine! He’s boss at No. 1 mine. Gee, he only started as a slate picker. Getting on the Superior Honor Roll in high school has surely helped Louis Audi. Yes, he’s a lawyer in Carlinville where he has quite a few secretaries working for him. I understand Louie has been divorced twice. Ahem!! Getting back to records, I’m sure you’re familiar with the song Cali- for-ni-a. At least if you aren’t, Violet Ferjancich is because she has become Mrs. Bill Klien and has been residing there for the past few years. I bet you can't pioture this, and neither can I. Tom Rauker has taken over Mr. Makuh’s position of teaohing English IV. Say Tom, have you run across any Tom Raukers of ’47 in your ’57 class???? The next record is suppose to be jazz which has that characteristic loud noise. This can only mean that I can hear the hammers of Jack Cald- erwood and Rudy Goldasich who are now the local carpenters in Benld. Mills surely helped you men make something of yourselves, didn’t he? After seven years of hard drilling and study, Glennie Targhetta is doing some drilling himself, professionally, since he’s the local dentist of Benld. Yes, he’s managed to obtain some customers, and one of them is Olga Motika who now teaches a little country school. Olga has nine pupils, and she says it’s like having one big happy family. I wonder!
