To greet us was the following faculty: Mr. Murray, principal, Miss Thomassen, Miss Petty, and Miss McElwain. Efterta fewfweekstkuf school, we elected officers for the year: President, Edward Weidner, Vice -president, Floyd Kinsella, Secretary, Lillian Martins, Treasurer, Marian Martins. ln September of 43, we turned out bright and early to begin the sophomore year, Lorrain Vawter and Floyd Kinsella were found missing. This year we were greeted by four new faculty members: Miss James principal, Mr., Zehr, Mrs, Wissmeller, and Mrs. Sherwood. Again we took over the arduous task of electing officers for the year: President, Edward Weidner, Vice -president, Robert Reinitz, Secretary, Dorlene Sutter, Treasurer, William Harness. Our class was very successful this year in making money by selling Curtis magizine subscriptions. During the second semester, Jesse Rigsby moved ir1to our intellectual group, or shall we say he joined our class? We all came marching back in the fall of '44 except Kenneth Weber, Rachel Hef- ner, and Jesse Rigsby, but in the first semester William Harness deserted us. This year on the faculty Mrs. Hallam replaced Mrs Sherwood, Mrs Killian replaced Mrs. Wissmiller, and Mr. Dixon replaced Mr. Zehr. Officers for this year were: President, Lillian Martins, Vice-president, Robert Reinitz, Secretary, Marian Martins, Treasurer, Edward Weidner. Important events this year were the Junior -Senior Banquet, at Hotel Rogers, and the junior class play, 'Glamour Girl. Both were successful. ln the fall of '45 we came bolting into the study hall, for now after three years, we were acquainted with C,C.H.S., and were no longer timid. as of your. Mr. and Mrs. Hirst came as new faculty members, and replaced Miss James and Mrs Killian. On the first of February, we were fortunate enough to have Mr. Zimmerman join us as science- mathematics teacher and athletic director. Our class shrank even more this year, for we had lost David Miller and Mr.and Mrs. Robert Reinitz, ln case you don't knmw Mrs . Reinitz, look and see who was our junior president. Wilfred Speers moved to Minier and left us the second semester. Yes, out of the seventeen freshmen only eight were totgraduate. Officers elected this year were: President, Orval Wissmiller, Vice-president, Geraldine cruseg Secretary, Edward Weidner, Treasurer, Dorlene Sutter. We have attained success through the perseverance of the entire class, the efficiency of our officers, and the helpful guidance of our sponsors, Miss McElwain, Mrs. Wissmiller, Mrs. Killian, and Mr. Hirst. Highlights of the year were the senior play, The Christmas Cantata, sponsored' by the Mixed Chorus under the direction of Mrs. Hirst, and the Junior-Senior Prom, but the supreme maximum was the Seniors' trip to Chicago. Did we have fun? Bet ter ask a senior. ' E E. ll 4 ,v xxx CLASS PROPHECY Let's gaze into the crystal ball and see how the class of '46 is getting along in the world. Through the years Cooksville has boomed and has become the dwelling place of One hundred and fifty thousand people. We owe the boom to our dear friend Jeff who struck oil while putting in a flag pole in his back yard. Jeff has become so rich we are afraid he is going to leave us and buy a peaceful island in the Pacific. Let's take a trip around town and se e how many pwople we remember. We are rather hungryg so let's stop at the Pelican Club and feed our faces.As we go into the cocktail lounge, whom do you think we see? ? lt's Geraldine Grimes III She is the chief hoestess at the exclusive Pelican Club. As Geraldine's husband owns a Turkish bath two blocks away, you see they have no trouble keeping their eight children clean. We finish eating and have left our charming hostess. We journey on up town and whom 1 ..... .. do you think we ran into or runs into us? Why Edward Weidner of course. He fell asleep at the wheel of his Buick and run into us. Lucky enough no one was hurt. Edwardcrawled out and said, I wanted a new Ford anyway. Edward is president of the Weidner Portable Television Company, and has been able to buy a ranch in Texas. His wife and three sons are visiting re- latives in Bombay, India. We ask Edward about his old classmate, Orval Wissrniller He tells us that Orval is a big poultry farmer just outside town. He tells us that Orval had thought of a way to feed his chickens red pepper along with other feed to get hard boiled eggs. Orval has plenty of help aroundthis eStab1ished...f.- Hi-S f011I' S0115 3-nd daughter, Flossie who works in his office uptown. A very close neighbor of Orval's is Mr. Charles Brucker and his wife , is the former Wilma Elbert. She and her husband raise pure bred goats. We hear they have had several kids, but we couldn't determine whether the goats had the children or they did. Nellie Soeldner and Dorlene Sutter are operating a beauty parlor in Chicago All the wealthy women in town go to the Rub and Scrub beauty parlor. As yet neither of the girls is married, but they each have turned down several proposals. Geraldine Cruse is taking a trip around the world with her husband Elmo. Elma now ownsthis own boat. By the way, Elmo and Gerry have several little seamen running around on the deck. Marian Martins has married a multi-millionaire and has gone to England to live. Her husband is president of the Trans Atlantic Canoe Company, and they have paddled back to the United States several times with their small daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Hirst are retired and are living with their oldest son : John, on hisKentuck plantation. Mr. and Mrs. Hirst's three other sons work in a toothpick factory in New York City. Mr Dix:on may be heard over station B-L-A-B every Saturday night. He spe- cializes in family problems and how to solve them. He has helped cauntless . couples regain happiness. Well look who's coming down the streetll I It's Mrs Hallam driving a new Cadillac. She has become a senior partner i.n a dried beef factory and has obtained enough money to purchase a new Cadillac every six ruonths. But when Mrs. Hallam wants to go some place in a hurry and doesn' want car trouble, she walks. Mr. Limmerman is still coaching at good old C.C.'H.s. We see he has added a course of aviation to the curriculum, and the students are learning to operate B 32's He told us that he had a nice little family, and the other day when we went to visit his home, a squad of ten little tail gunners and one stewardess came running out to meet us. 1 E -4 5 , CLASS!

September 5, 1946 was a big day--five tiny tots had waited a long time to go to school. A big bad germ--chicken pox--came along in October and kept several children from school. However, we recovered in time to be able to read our first stories to our mothers in late October. Waren Harvey Weber entertained the primary grades at his home on Hallowe'en What funl Our Christmas party was in our room--Santa couldn't come--boo hoo---, but there was gifts for everyone. The Valentine Party was a big success-hearts of all sizes came to the tiny folks--cookie and candy ones, too. We have had a number of interesting science exhibits. The mothers and visit- ing teachers have enjoyed them with us. Some of our flowers have bloomed all winter. ' The Christmas program was a very enjoyable one--pot luck dinner--Christmas Carols--and our play. This was an--All Grade School affair. IN TERMEDIATE GRADES Enrollment The enrollment of the upper grade room totaled twenty-nine pupils at the beginn- ing of the school year. We were glad to welcome John and David Hirst, and Donald and Joyce Lucas as new pupils. ln October, jackie Williams , a fifth grader, moved to Bloomington and in February, Joyce White, a sixt grader, moved to a farm near Bloomington. Halloween Party The annual Halloween party was sponsored by the eighth grade class and was held in the school basement on October thirty-first. Everyone was initiated as they were led to the back of the basement where they took their seat untio the games began. After the games refreshments were served and the guests went home about nine o'clock BASKETBALL During the latter part of November the basketball team was organized by Mr. Hirst. We have enjoyed his coaching and although the basketball .season was not so successful, the boys took great interest in the sport. ELECTION OF OFFICERS The eight grade class held their election of officers in the school basement the second week in September. Officers for the year are as follows: President, Jack Weber, Vece -president, Charlene Spencer, Secretary, Marianne Fitzgerald, and Treasurer, Vera Fry. Meeting s were held twice a month in the school basement. CLASS PAPER After the election of officers, it was decided that we should publish a class paper It was given the name of Big Eight , after a short discussion. The paper is published monthly and includes all school news. The eighth grade sincerely wishes to thank Mr. Dixon for his kind help and patience during his assistance to us. 2 E E , , 5 Z 5 I E u H S E 5 E E E 4 Q H n 5 i 4 3 5 5 Picturesfor High School Annual V o Pioturgs were' taken by Mr. Hawkins in the School basment of thexprimaryuand interngediatg rooms and ofthe basketball team for thehighschool annual of 19516,' , A x ,' h - , iii, ., .

Q BETTY THE GIRL 'O MY HEART On november 9, a big event took place in Cooksville. A large group of people had gathered at the community gym to watch the outstanding actresses and actors of the Senior Class present the play, Betty The Girl o' My Heart. Sweet innocent Betty entered her own father's home as a servant girl to save him from ruin by his selfish and extravagant second wife and step-daughter. Her father had never known of her existence, and the servants mistake Betty for a fellow servant and give the situation away in their gossip. So Betty goes to the reacue, and, in spitf of snubs and rebuffs, saves her father and captures the heart of a young millionaire whom she mistakes for a chaffeurl . The play was a big success and kept the audience's interest by providing many good laughs.

Mr. Griggs, a manufacturer is very anxious for his daughter Molly to marry Chubby jones whom he thinks can get him the senatorship. Molly's Aunt, Jane Cabell, came to see the Griggs family. Immediately, the family gives up all sbcial li.fe to prove what a home loving group they are. However, Aunt Jane has really come up for the purpose of enjoying life. Failing to find peace, she starts out on an adventure. Fred Fitzgerald comes to instruct Aunt Jane along the lines of Art. Molly soon finds herself becoming quite fond of Fred, and Chubby who is a man of about fifty shows a growing interest in Aunt Jane. The whole family .receives quite a. shock when Chubby and Jane , announce their intentions of marriage.

The new coach, Mr Hirst, started practice the day school began, andthe new baseball season was launched. The first game of the season , with Anchor, turned out to be a defeat, only after a hard struggle. Bob Garmon proved to be big gun in the Cooksville attack, driving out two hits and pitching a good game. The visitors finally came out ahead by a score of 11 to 5. ln the second game of the season, Garmon had a calling to distant parts and an ihx efiencea pitcher had to be used. Mr. Stone of Arrowsmith seemed to be' up to par, ang after seven innings the final score was 16 to 1. A victory was in the bag when Cooksville team came home from Ellsworth Strong pitcher and good support gave them a well deserved victory. With light hearts full of confidence the team set about practice for the third game. Bellflower made its appearance on the Cooksville diamond September 25 to play one of the best games of the season. Although Bob Garmon, star pitcher for the Cooksville nine, gave up only two hits, the support was week, and in the second inning Bellflower was able to push four runs across the plate because of four errors. The lone Cooksvills run came in the fourth inning, when three walks and an error let one man in. The final score read 5 to 1 in bellflower's favor. September 27, 1945 dawned dark and dreary. The band of Cooksville players drove to Saybrook in a steady downpour. After falling down in the mud .of the diamond a few times, we decided to postpone the game, which later at the request of Saybrook was cancelled. Cooksville played the last game of the season on its diamond, with Towanda furnish- ing the competition. After two scoreless innings, Cooksville began to hit that ball and drove in nine runs. By mutualggreemeni, only five innings were played, because of the wet diamond. The final score 9 to Z gave Cooksville a decisive victory. Thus another baseball season came to a close winh a record of two wins against three losses. We can ,gay that although we lost several games, the season was a success by helping to mold young men and to develop good sportsmen ship. BASKETBALL The Bluebirds shook the dirt from their spikes, and hung up their baseball uniforms for another year. Basketball was calling to them, and the following boys reported: Kenny Smith, jerry Herman, Marvin Dean, Robert Garmon, Iuniorsg Willard Wiedner, and Clifford Vawter, Sophomoresg and Arthur Spencer, Bill Crook, and David Stockle, Freshmen.

There were two games that day, Colfax and Danvers were the two winners. Our team was nosed out by Danvers in an overtime, the score being 31 to 28. There were many fine looking teams from all over the country participating in the playing, all gunning for the cha mpionship game to be held Saturday night, Jan 26. Many of the favorites in the tourney were knocked out in their first game. McLean High. a team that thought to go far in the tourney, got knocked out by a spunky little Lexington five. Another team rated high by Sportswriters was the Heyworth Hornets. They didn't last very long either, under the preasure of Chenoa. A little team from the northern part of the County, the Gridley Redskins was the favorits in this tourney. After they played their first game, the people who saw them play agreed with the experts who had picked Gridlay to win. When Saturday night came around, the Gridlay Redskin s stalked prowdly out on the court. Who should come out on the floor behind? None other than the Cropsey Bulldogs. The game was a thriller for the first quarter of play but after that Gridley ran wild. 1 5 ? 9 5 5 3 a 5 5 5 5 5 E i 22 The Bulldogs showed well against the Redskins, but the Gridley boys were just a little too fast and witty for the Cropsey boys to handle.

The tourney ended with the following teams the Winners: Gridley, Cropsey, LeRoy and Bellflower. XXX A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE The day is bleak and cold. The whole world is listening to their radios. The boradcast that will make history will begin in 30 seconds. The newspapers have carried page stories for weeks. What is the great event? Why don't you know? Cookeville is playing for the McLean County Basketball Championship. Did I forget to mention the year? Why it is Ian. 25, 1947. This band of stout hearted men had fire in their hearts and revenge in their eye. opponents are Danvers, a little heard of team, which reached the finals because of the biggest snow storm in history. All of their opponents have forfeited to them. How did the powerhouse from Cooksville arrive on the scene? Why it was simple. Haven't you ever heard stories of the Model A that parks three miles out south of town? This great piece of machinery was hooked to the front of a new school bus, driven by Mr. Hirst, and pulled it through snow drifts 18 feet deep. A woek's supplies were carried and the team made camp three feet from the gym door. But back to that game. As you know Danvers had put Cooksville out of the tournament in 46 by good luck in the closing minutes. Now the great bone crushers were back. On the first play Cooksville made a basket, and at the end of the first quarter the score was 105 to O in favor of Cooksville. Coach Hirst threw in every- body as the first five dressed. The slaughter was ended after quarters when Danvers gave us the game, at the time Cooksville led by a score of 201 to 1. Thus a great epic in basketball history was ended and the fame of that team of 4'7 shall live forever. R 4 E s E u r E! 5 5 : I 5 ef 2 5 3 3 w 5 n . 5 5 5 3 5 E E E E BASEBALL BASKET BALL 5 I 4 1 .

I have been here for many years. My sister furnishes water for the gradeschool children at the bottom of the stairs, but I am situated at the head of the stairs. I think the pupils in this school are thirsty most of the time. I'm sure my sister doesn't have as much trouble as I do. One person will come to get a drink and before I can even swallow the excess water, someone else will come out for another drink. It gets very tiresome watering these people, especially the junior boys. The heaviest drinkers, are Marvin Kenneth Smith, and one lone freshman, Berry Prentice. If I had my choice, I think I should much rather be a water bucket or a pump, or maybe even a faucet in a sink. I would rather be anything than a fountain for a group of high school students. I try my best to serve these young people, but they always have complaints to make, the water isn't cold enoughg it doesn't flow fast enough, and there's the complaint Kenneth Smith is always making, The water doesn't shoot out far enough, It makes me mad to think he wants to waste my water shooting it at someone. It isn't my fault if the water doesn't shoot all over the floor. Although I do have hardships, on second thought I would rather be here with my friends than anywhere else. j WHAT MR. cLocK comin TELL By Phyllis Eagn Hey, you stop that noise I Don't do that either. Now is that a nice way of gipping the teachers? Yes, all of these things led up to things that Mr. Clock might and probably would have said if he could only talk. I, Mr Clock shall tell of the few experiences which I have had during these years. These kids are always giving me heck because I don't hurry my hands around faster than I do , so 3:45 will hurry' iup a little faster :so they can go up town to eat or to play pool. I will fool them, I will just tell on them a few things that I see during the days that I pm here. Poor Mrs. Hallam seems to always have trouble with the boys more than she does those nice innocent little girls who never do anything. When Mrs Hallam goes out of the room, the boys sit and eat candy, sometimes they throw books and talk out loud or throw paper wads at the dear little girls. As soon as Mrs. Hallam comes backheverything is quiet, and they are all studying very hard. When the boys are 1QhITOW1,ngfth1ngs and cutting up, the girls sitand giggle, and maybe throw the books or paper wads back at them, although they should be studying just like the boys. li n ll + vs r. 5 5 5 I 1 H I 2 is A E 5 Q 2 ri 9 Y' 5 3 When a teacher is in the study hall, the children always sit gaze or day dream about their future. The teachers tell them very politely to get busy and study. In my opinion they should study now and wait untill the future comes. Sometimes when the teachers aren't loocking,.they pass notes to each other and copy from other's papers. There are some special ones, but I won't mention names. There are alot of things to tell about these kids, but I won't go into details. Sometimes I wish I were that waterfountain in the hall instead of a clock. I guess if I weren't a clock, I wouldn't know what goes around me. So I'll just stay as I am. LET'S TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME Louis and Jim were hurring home from The Dark Town Strutters Ball. and they were hurring as Louise had to be in by Twelve-Fifty P.M. or her Mamrny would be Angry. They were hungry, and they decided to have a 'Cherry Sundae, as this wasnit enough, they bought some Candy.' Together they strolled down The Sidewalks of New York admiring Mr, Moon. Too much Star Dust was- in the air, and it was almost one when they noticed the time. Louise and jim hurried to a taxi stationg only to find it closed. Luck was against them, and it, yvas 'Three O'clock in the Morning when they finally rode home with the Milkman. Louise found her Mammy waiting for her. Mammy was very Angry. In fact, Mammy said Louise must stay home and go to bed at nine O'clock for a week. See what happens when you take the long way home? ' By Marilyn Zabel A Pencil Speaks I was so glad, but later sad, that my master was he, For he was Kenny Smith, a lad, all full of jollity. The first day that I was at school, I went to science class. I learned of Archimedes rule, and why you see through glass. The next day I awoke to find, my length was going fast. My life was now a steady grindg I knew it could not lagtf- K E s 5 Ei u 2 5 fi 1 T G a Z 2 An inch of wood, an inch of 'ead, the rest of me was dust. I know what kind of a life I've led, l'll kill Ken' Smith or bust. By Willard Weidner The Study Hall Clock Always ticking, ticking, ticking, Is the clock upon the wall, Telling time and never stopping To the students in the hall. Likely it has been astonished When two students love has found, At a student's bright remark, or When a party comes around. Teachers leave, the notes fly fasterg Freshmen, Seniors pull their tricks That old clock has seen it all, but As of yore, it only ticks. By Jeanine Vincent COOKSVILLE SCHOOL ' The Cookeville school is a grand old school. Let's do our best to keep it so. Let's do our part throught the year And really make things go. The spirit of every school Is made up by all the students. And our school spirit you'll admit consists of pep and prudence. So now we have this annual To help us all remember names And the monthly parties we enjoyed With programs, eats, and games. Now for nine months we all have met, In our school house clean and neat. And may this year be best of all, Til again next fall we meet.

Laughing in the sunshine Nodding to the bees, Tall and stately goldenrod Waving in the breeze. Autumn time is here at last, Jack Frost is on his way, My golden bonnets fading fast And I've not long to stay. By Joanne Scott Christmas Morning On Christmas morning We jumped out of bed And to our living room we all sped, To find our presents on the tree, For John and Jim and little me. We danced and shouted with delight, To see such a lovely sight, V The tree all loaded down with toys, Some for me and rest for the boys. We opened each one with a sigh, And stacked them on the floor mearby And in our stockings to out delight, We found what Santa had left in the night. We were much pleased with what we got, Even to the little tot, And without a doubt it's very clear, ! We ll all be good for another year.
