FRANK BAUER 'SHIRLEY LAWLER, DOROTHY STEVENS ROBERT LAMBERT w BETTY TAYLOR STEPHEN BONNE LLOYD CARMICHAEL VIRGINIA COLCORDI ZICK RUTH SMI'I'H LUCILE WHITE ANKER RASMUSSEN SENIOR HISTORY On a sunny September morning in 1943 a bright, eager class of Freshmen came racing through the Capron High School- doors. Since then they have come a long way. Some of them have left us and others have joined us but we still live on. Let us look back and see what has happened in these four years. The frightened, bashful, ones who came in 1943 were as follows: Mildred Black, Frank Bauer, Linay Burge, Richard Bue, Irene Cordray, Lloyd Carmichael, Virginia Colcord, Rodney Frietag, LaVerne Hazelwood, George Hove, Harold Howland, Marion Hammond, Donald Johnson, Lillian Jones, Richard Jacobson, Clyde Masear, Donald Murphy, Arlene Nelson, Evelyn Olson, Allan Peters, Arlene PiPGI',, Harold Pufahl, Anker Rasmussen, Edward Pavlack, Darrell Samuelson, Norman Siebert, Ruth Smith, Marilyn Smith, Dorothy Stevens, Jo- han Storez, Betty Taylor, Lois Traver, Patricia Keefe, Robert Lambert, Shirley Lawler, Joyce Main, Thelma Weems, Wayne Ward, and Herman Zick. They all Survived their initiation and got along fine during the rest of the year. Our Sophomore year we lost a large number of our classmates. Donald Murphy went to Chicago to live. Eddie Pavlack went to Belvidere. Richard Bue decided he liked farming better than school. Norman Siebert went to Sharon and became their dream man. Rodney Frietag moved to Woodstock and kept up his good work to become Valedictorian of Woodstock this year. Mildred Black went to Rockford to work and Marion Hammond moved there to live. We' were joined by Duane Conley from Harvard. During our Sopho- more year we had the pleasure of initiating the Freshmen. Arlene Nelson left us in March of her Junior year and moved to Belvidere. Irene Cordray - moved to Woodstock and Duane Conley went back to Harvard, Richard Jacobson went to Belvidere. Roger Ruebeck joined us for about three weeks and then quit. Lorin Dopke came from Chicago. Lucille White came from California and Helen King from Rockton. The Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was the main event of the year. The class. also put on the play Alibi Bill which was directed by Mrs. Dunker. Finally the Senior year came up. Harold Pufahl and Lillian Jones did not return. Mary Smith went one semester and quit. Johan Storez went to Rock- ton. Thelma Weems went down to Salem to finish her schooling. New mem- bers of the class were Russell Bremer and Robert Courtney from Poplar Grove, Vivian Meyer from Woodstock, and Steve Bonne from Genoa. The class again put on a play. We also put out an annual with the help of the other classes. A class trip was planned. Graduation is something that all the sen- iors are dreaming about. We hope that all the classes have.as much fun and hard work in school as we have had. CLASS OFFICERS President f Linay Burge Vice President - George Hove Secretary - Darrell Samuelson J Treasurer - Lorin Dopke Class Motto: Today we follow, Tomorrow we lead Class Flower: Carnations Class Colors: Green and White SENIOR PRO PHE CY Ah, here it is 1967 and we see the right honorable senator, who is is none other than Linay Burge from Illinois. He is the greatest since Claghorn. And who is this chasing men of all kinds 'P Why, it's Lois Traver, the Vera Vague of today. As we pass through Tennessee, who is this we hear singing Rye Whiskey but Robert Courtney He is now a spy for Milwaukee Brewery trying to swipe the formula for atornic moonshine. There's a pleasant farm on the right, basketball court and all. This is where Russell and Mrs. Bremer now coach their own little team. As we stroll down the streets of Capron we hear that Lorin Dopke was beaten by his wife in the last school board election 580 to 2. Here's little Arlene Piper trying to prove women can run faster than men. She practices on her way to and from her bank president's job. We hear an explosion from next door, but it's iust Ioyce Main, head chemist for Goodyear, trying to find a way to take the stretch out of rubber. And new we move to Indiana where we find Veterinary Allan Peters has just bought 30 horses to practice on. Whcfs that reclining on three feather beds behind a copy of the Constitution but Steve Bonne. He is now a Supreme Court justice and the greatest dissenter since Cliver Wendell Holmes. Clyde Masear is now playing a great French lover on Broadway. We under- stand he always has plenty of fresh vegetables to eat. Donald johnson no longer hauls peas for the canning ccznpanyg he shucks them. George CAD Hove CAD still makes them all swoon from midnight 'till noon. Ruth Smith has skated her way to fame and fortune. She now owns .her ovxm roller skates. Vivian Meyer now has her own church - Gack by namel. As the moon shines over the cow shed, we see Lucile White watching down road eastward - not to watch the sun rise. Bob Lambert has decided to straighten up and Stay Right. Laverne Hazelwood has a cow on his farm that just set a new record, five cans of milk ---- a year. Patricia Keefe is a career woman. She puts beans in the jars from which you try to guess how many there are. Our little southern belle, Helen King, is frying chicken. Someone ought to tell her to pick them first. Anker Rasmussen, of oil station fame, now gives free bicarbonate of soda to all his employees to counteract the great supply of gas. We hear Lloyd Carmichael moved to Clinton because all the girls there call him Van. From New York we just received a report that Wayne Ward has been named the boldest man in the country. Herman Zick finally sold his paper mill after his wife beat him to a pulp. Lightning strikes again as Harold Howland knocks out 53 year old joe Louis in the 31st round. Frank Bauer, after farming a few years, decided he knew his calves fairly well and is now a talent scout for M G. M. CModern Girls Modelsl. Evelyn Olson, our secretarial prodigy from Capron, has put away her typewriter and is now a bareback rider with the circus. Shirley Lawler is finally marriedg her husband chased her for two years and she finally caught him. Virginia Colcord finally got a raise. She's an elevator operator. l Betty Taylor is now a millionaire, and has a car so long she had to buy her chauffeur roller skates to travel back to open the door for her. Dorothy Stevens is now famous as the only person to ever get Richard to open the door. . Here we see little Darrell Samuelson - the author of the Senior Class Prophecy, - who has achieved his goal. He is now president of the Liar's Club.

So now that our time is so near through And we have to decide for ourselves what to do, Ther are some that are sad and some that are glad There are only four years of High School to be had. When all our books we've finally burned We try to prove what we have learnedg Some will take on higher education While others live on the imagination . As Seniors now we should be through And know more than we ever knewg So at the end we'll give three cheers And never forget our high school years.

They were elected as follows: President, Iohn Georgesong Vice-President, Edna Iohnsong Treas- urer, Ruth Osterbergg and Secretary, Ruth Schwebke. Our class advisor was Miss Jeanne Nelson. During the first week we all looked forward to initiation, later we gave the sophomores a return party. We made money by giving dances and selling refreshments at home games. When school opened the following fall there were 33 studious sophomores Dick Moshier was with us for a while but soon left. Shirley Dunker joined us this year. The officers elected for this year were: President, Ted Hollidayg Vice- President, Roma Seaverg Treasurer, Virginia Gortong and Secretary, Bar- bara Ritter. Our class advisor was Mrs. Robert Dunker. One event of the year was our Biology trip to the country under the sup- ervision of our Biology teacher, Elmer Hopperstead. We made money by giving dances, suppers, and sol refreshments at home games. ' In 1946, 34 persistent juniors entered the halls of Capron High School. This year we were joined by Ila Gunderson and Glen Hermanson. Arlene Mizner left us soon after school started. The class elected the following officers: President, Donald Jeffers, Vice-President, Shirley Dunkerg Treasurer, Ted Holliday, and Secretary, Ruth Schwebke. One of the big events of the year was our class play, The Groom Said No given under the direction of Mrs. Dunker. Those participating in the play were, Roma Seaver, Virginia Gorton, Ila Gunderson, Marion Wright, Margaret Frye, Edna Johnson, John Georgeson, Ted Holliday, Richard Iohn- son, and Robert Munson. Mr. William La Croix took Mrs. Dunker's place during the second semester. If you stop all your dreaming and planning, You will find yourself tethered and boundg Only hopes that soar upward will conquer, All the barriers that round you are foundg For the day as it now is--be happy For the morrow must come and it willg Giving hope that is new and inspiring, All your dreaming and plans to fulfill. --Edith Danielson SO PHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Our freshman year began with thirty-five members. During the term seven of the thirty-five left our class. They were: Donna Vee Smith, Jean Rambow, Donald Croessant, Stanley Carter, William Benesch, Roger Metcalf, and Shirley Gannon. One member, Dick Phillips, was sick and returned this year with the class of '50, , During the month of January, 1946, our class sold magazine subscriptions, and in March, 1946, we had a dance and raffled an electric iron. Our Sophomore Class began this year with twenty-nine members. During the term three members have left. They were: Eleanor Burge, Barbara Floyd, and Eugene Mikrut. During the first semester Robert Brinkmeyer joined the class. On September 17, 1946, the Sophomore's gave an initiation party for the Freshman. They all showed good sportsmanship, with the stunts they had to do, and we accepted them as part of the school. A dance was held April 11, 1947, which was a great success. A magician show was held the first part of March and a carnival during the middle of March. vkvkwkHkvklkfkvkvkvkvkvkvklklkvkvkrkvkvkrkvkvklkikvkrkrk FRE SHMAN CLASS HISTORY On the morning of September 3, 1947, the doors of Capron High School opened to the Freshman Class of 1946-47 and the Senior Class of 1950.

The Freshman Class of 1947 eagerly looks ahead for the things to come. A green little freshman, ln green little May Mixed up some chemicals, One spring day. Now green little grasses Tenderly wave, O'er the green little Freshman's Green little grave. H U M 0 R Anker Rassmussen went to the Barber Shop and the barber was very slow. ' Y our hair is getting gray, sir, said the barber. I'm not surprised--hurry up I cired Anker. Lucile White went to the Optician to have her eyes tested. Weak eyes, have you? Well, how many lines can you read on that chart? asked the optician. What chart? asked Lucile. Don joe went to the barber shop to get his hair cut. How do you want your hair cut,s ir? the barber asked. Oil said joe. One day while Lorin Dopke was walking down the main street in Capron he saw a terrible automobile wreck. He rushed over and asked the driver, inside the wreckage, Are you hurt, Laddie ? Yes, replied Wayne Robinson. And have you life insurance ? asked Dop. Yes, Wayne' replied again Then , asked Dop, do you mind if I crawl in beside you? Shirley Lawler went to a restaurant for dirmer. On completion of the meal the waiter asked, How did you find your steak, miss? Oh1 I just lifted up the sprig of parsley and there it was, replied Shirley. Walking along Broadway Cin New Yorkl we overhear those two suc- cesses of the Senior Class of '47 talking: Darrell Samuelson: Mind if I borrow a match? Frank Bauer: Here's one. Darrell Samuelson: Now I don't seem to have a cigarette-- Frank Bauer: Then give me back my match. We read that a Westener has perfected the trick of sleeping while standing erect. We don't think this is anything new. 'Beaver' Burge has had that one down pat for years. At Mount Wilson Observatory a scientist, Willie Ward, who was scan- ning the heavens through the huge telescope remarked, It's going to rain. What makes you think so ? asked a fellow, Clyde Masear My corns hort, replied Willie. ' ACID BLUES GROOM SAID NO A ,V 1 X - , 1 A - H ' f 1 f. f f ,-ff .--, 1.

Coach Hewitt began drills as soon as was possible and had the boys in trim when Clinton invaded us for the opening game. We won that game 25 to '7, as Well as the next game, which was against Whitewater. We really swamped those boys 33 to O. Then we journeyed to Richmond and suffered our first defeat 30 to 14. Their playinggfield was in poor condition, and that as well as our poor pass defense caused our downfall. -Sharon was an easy victory, 65 to 12, and then came the Palmyra game. Our quarterback, John Georgeson, suffered a leg injury in the second quarter' which helped them to defeat us 31 to 30. Their final touchdown came on an intercepted pass, with 55 seconds left to play. O Our homecoming game with Darien was quite an affair. A good sized crowd saw Capron win easily 45 to 8. Reserves were used freely to keep it from being a runaway. This brought our season to a close with 4 victories, and 2 defeats. Holdovers for next years squad are John Georgeson, Stan Mikrut, Don McCullough, Earl Smith, Howard johnson, Bob Garner, and Lavon Forland, Of course that team may not be as good as this year's team, but it can hard- ly be expected, as this year's team was the finest we have had in yea.rs. Coach Hewitt did a fine job with this year's team and he will surely turn out as good a team as possible. Nine seniors, graduating from the squad would weaken any team, but hopes are high for as good a team in 1947 as we had in good old 1946. ' 1 V wrarara-ararx . JOHN GEORGESON - JUNIOR: This was his first year on the football team and he turned out -to be one of the best quarterbacks in the conference. He looked good on offensive and defensive both, leading his team in pass receiv- ing. He did more than his share of blocking and was the team captain. BEAVER BURGE - SENIOR: This boy held down the center spot in the line and played all except one quarter. Good blocker and tackler and it took a lot to hurt him. Kept the team full of pep and drive. LLOYD CARMICHAEL - SENIOR: One of our speedy halfbacks who could really show them his heels. Hampered by injuries he still was second high scorer and led his team in passing. Good break away runner. FRANK BAUER - SENIOR: Our best line plunger and break away runner. Played every quarter of all the games and was great on defense. Good block- er and was the teams high scorer. Rival coaches rated him high. DARRELL SAMUELSON - SENIOR: Our most versatile player who was used mainly at end. Could shift to center or backfield, either one. He also did the irxnting for our team and did a good job of it. , L. ,. ,..-,............,.,..1.,,r.-, . 1. x-...n.-t....,, , , . ,A.,. 1 ,.,--...l 3 Q! 1 i 1 I , I ? l 1 it 1 I l Y 1 1 1 .4 4 5 't 5 ia A 1 it A ,a I 1 tl l 4 Q . ANKER RASMUSSEN - SENIOR: A reserve back who saw plenty of action.. Being that this was his first year in football he was a bit slow in starting, but was going good at the end of the season. He had a lot of drive andwas a good tackler. RUSSELL BREMER - SENIOR: This boy developed fast in his first year of football. He was a good runner and ranked along with Bauer as being the two best tacklers on the team. More experience would have helped him greatly. HAROLD HOWLAND -SENIOR: One of our best ends on defense and this was his third year on the team. Even though he was hampered by shoulder injuries he could throw a tackle with the best of them. BOB COURTNEY - SENIOR: A reserve back and also a lineman. Once in- tercepted a pass behind his goal line and ran the length of the field only to be stopped six inches from the goal line. First year man. CLYDE MASEAR - SENIOR: A reserve end who was plenty rough with op- posing linemen. Improved greatly as the season went along.

The line-up for our first game included, Lloyd Carmicheal and Steve Bonne as guards, Iohn Gerogeson and Russell Bremer as forwards and Darrell Samuelson as the center. Later Robert Courtney replaced Sam- uelson as the center. Georgeson changed to guard and Carmicheal shifted to forward. This line-up developed into the finest working team we have had in years, as every boy worxed for the team and not for nimself. Our boys averaged 5 feet 9 inches in height, a comparatively small team. Yet they made up for it in ability and aggressiveness. In our regular season we won 15 and lost '7 games. ln conference play we had a record of 8 wins and 4 losses, finishing in third place. This is one of the best averages a Capron team has had in the past few years. In the Hebron District Tournament, we won the first game from Alden, '73 to 21. The highlight of this game was Russell Bremer who scored 26 points. We used ,all of our nine players, dividing up the time for each. The next game was played against St. Edwards of Elgin, the winner of last year's tournament. Our boys fought hard, but it just wasn't their night, as we lost 48 to 33. St. Edwards has an enrollment twice the size of Capron's and from this they put together a big, fast team. Even though we lost, our bosy deserved credit for their spirit and aggressiveness. Of the first ten men, seven are graduating. They are Lloyd Carmich- ael, Russell Bremer, Steve Bonne, Robert Courtney, Darrell Samuelson, Donald johnson, and Linay Burge. The three remaining players are John 1.i6?iJI'g'F'3L3O1'l, Stanley Mikrut, and Earl Smith. Some good players are coming up from the underclassmen, so we have prospects of having a- n ither good season.

The newly organized conference includes Capron, Sharon, Palmyra, and Richmond. Capron has a good chance of being at the top of this con- ference, being we have a number of players from last years team re- turning again this year. The list of holdovers are Lloyd Carmicheal-shortstopg George Hove-third basemang Darrell Samuelson-catcherg Herman Zick-left fieldg John Georgeson-center 'fieldg and either Wilford or Robert Lambert in right field. Anker Rasmussen may pitch or play outfield. Newcomers are Robert Courtney-pitcherg Russel Bremer-pitcher or infielderg and Steve Bonne- second baseman. These boys who are pitchers will probably play elsewhere when not pitching. Of course we have other underclassmen who may make the squad so it seems We are well fortified. We have games scheduled with St, Thomas of Rockford which will be a non-conference game. There is also the possibility of games with Hebron and Northwestern Military Academy, as we have played them in former years. Two dozen new bats have been purchased as well as a good supply of baseballs. With all of this new equipment and a little ability, Capron is sure to rate high in the conference.

The band practices each day 12:30 to 1:00. Last school year the band bought imiforms. Most of the money was raised. from an Indoor 'Frolic put on by the band.
