Community High Schoo, dedicated our first yearbook, The Cardinal , to Mr. Fred Ervin Biggs. The Seniors wanted a yearbookg but finding a teacher to sponsor the project was irnpossible. Mr.1Biggs, who was al- ready director of the junior class and Senior class play, agreed, to sponsor a yearbook, He had no training in this field, but he was willing to give his tirne and energy to something that the stu- dents wanted. This is a quality that we like our teachers to have We, the Seniors, hope that Mr. Biggs shall remain at Cuba High many years. He is our idea of an ideal teacher. n W I 1 f FAC ULTY . ,1.

Nanny doesn't know how to read, I announced, and I, just a little boy, already have a medal for it. I wonder how she feels, looking at a book she can't read? Father quietly took a volume from the bookshelves, then open- ed it. Like this I he replied. The book was in Chinese.

They were destined to cause a great deal of excitement and start some very newideas inthe history of our school. During the first year. we were cocky and defiant, and, like most freshmen, thought we knew ev- erything worth knowing in the world. When mid-winter came a- round, most of us were willing to admit that not everything was learned in grade school. During our inaugural year, we partici- pated in school activities such as dances, hayrides, parties and so forth: but it wasn't until later that we took and held the lead in these departments. Some of our members participated lnsports and musical activities, but our fame was destined to come later. In our second academic year, our class took a sharp de- crease in enrollment as members quit, moved away, and a few joined the armed forces. During this year, our class began totake upon itself some of the polish of high school. Our mernbers be- gan to stand out in the fields of music and atheletic achievements. Six of our members achieved football letters this year, and others played part-time. f In our Junior year, we really came into our own. We sponsor- ed the junior-Senior Prom, a. St. Patrick's Day dance, a Christina! dance, and the Junior play. Our class was represented in basket- ball, football, track, liter ary, and musical events. Now we are Seniors--quiet, reserved, dignified? Not usgfor we're noisy, full of pep, and always into something. Maybe not the highest type of Senior--but we were not created as a class for se- riousness, and our type if more for the mischievous undertaking. Our class, during the Senior year, started something that the other classes before us have not done for many years. We published an annual, the first in Cuba in sixteen years, and through the insist- ance and effort of our members, the Student Council sponsored a Homecoming. We participated in basketball, football, music, lit- erary work, and our Senior Class play, This is the history of our accomplishments in the four years of our study in this schoolf We leave it as a challenge to the class- es following us. weaerxfwfaefaeoeuawezwefaee Mr. Biggs: Un English, Bill, will you please wake Lowell? He seems to have fallen asleep. Bill: Wake him yourself, Professor, you're the one that put him to sleep. A word to the wise is useless.

Among the successful activities of the year the selling of magazines, the pro- ceeds of which was put in the junior Treasury, to be used for spon- soring the Junior and Senior Prom in the spring. Perhaps the par- amount activity of the junior Class was the play, Our Town, spoa- sored by the English instructor Mr. Fred Biggs.

Tirnidly? No, rather proudly. We felt from the beginning that our class would become an asset to our school, and it has. We have used good judgment throughout in our election of class officers and school activities. Our first meeting, as a class in high school, came shortly after our entering, and we lost no tirne in becoming organized. We chose as our officers Bob Williams, President, Bradford Murphy, Vice-President, and Dar- lena Black, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Gilbert Veach served as our class sponsor.

These wereg Betty june Buffurn, Mike Churchill, Daniel Hall, jesse Hall, Carroll Harr, Betty Havens, Charles Pilgrixn, Earnest Virog, and joe Pol- ston. Two other students that entered during the year were Ivan Hebb and Charles Treadway. This made a total of sixty-six out of the seventy-three. After a pleasant sumrner vacation sixty-two out of the sixty-six returned to school on September 3, 1946. We now had something to really be proud of. We had discarded the title of Freshman and had assurned a new and more dignified one that of, Sophomore . We had our meeting and elected Randall Manuel, President, Bob Will- iams, Vice-President, and Bradford Murphy as Seeretary-Treasur- er. Shirley Lafary was elected as a member of the student council.

The first day we were terrified at the strangeness of this new school. How different it was from the one we had just graduated from! We got into the wrong classes, or none at all, and was called greenl1orns by our wise Seniors. We thought initiation was over, but they didn't! !

Finally, after all the votes Were counted, we knew that we had won. How happy we were! After the first month of school, we noticed that several students had, dropped out. Atnong these were Floyd Wallick, Roger Vander- laan, and Margaret Knott. Carroll Harr too dropped, but later de- cided to re-enter again.

OF 1946 ttkikkik1iii!iiiiikikitkiitikktttikiitiitikiikkitQiiiiikiiik The first practice session of the 194-6 football team began with thirty-thr ee boys reporting. Due to lack of experienced boys and a few injuries the season was not so successful as we had hoped. Of the thirty-three boys reporting there were but three lettermen from last year---William McCloskey, jack Shyrock, and Wilbur McCla- ughty. Two of these were out the first three garnes: Jack Shryock with a back injury, and Wilbur McClaughry with an ankle injury, A fourth lettermen was unable to return. Our first game was held at Avon, lvith Avon being the victor by a wide margin. The first home game 'was held with Lewistown. At the end of the third quarter the score stood 12-13 in favor of Cuba. Then, late in the fourth quarter Lewistown made a touchdown, leav- ing the final scoreg Cuba 13-Lewistown, 19. In the next ga.me Cuba was one of the three teams to score a- gainst a strong Industry team--Industry won. We then journeyed to Galesburg to paly Corpus Christi. Iln this game, 'Bob Williams, playing end, fractured his collar bone and was unable to play the rest of the season. The next two games were at home, Western Academy, victor of the first, and Farmington, furnishing the oppositions in the home- coming football game. Cuba ended the season at Bushnell.

All of these boys will return except Larry Clifford, jack Shry- ock, and Wilbur McC1aughry. Other seniors on the squad were:Bill McCloskey, Franc Krohe, and james Hess. So, with all the boys re- turning except tjese six, Cuba should have an average season in 1947. Schedule was as follows: Sept.

This gam.e eli- minated Cuba from the Tournament. Friday evening, january 24, found Farmington playing London Mills, and Lewistown forming the opposition for Fairview, in the semi-finals. Farmington, up to this time, was undefeated, and then downed London by a 4-5-28 score. -The second contest of the evening found Lewistown defeating Fairview by 4-7-37, with Holmes andStar- cevich pacing Lewistown with twenty-one and nineteen, respectivnlv. These two garnes moved Farmington and Lewistown mto the championship game, and London Mills and Fairview to the consola- tion game. Saturday evening, the first game was the consolation. London Mills nosed out Fairview by a small margin, 37-35. The second game was the Class B championship, with the winner of the London Mills Section playing the winner of the I-feWiSf0WD 300101. which were Ellisville and Table Grove, respectively. Ellisville downed Table Grove for the Class B championship by 30-19. Then came the big game of the Tournament, between Farming- ton and Lewistown, for the Class A championship. Farmington ov- er-ran Lewistown by twenty points. The Farmington coach substi- tuted freely in stopping the Indians 4-l-2.1. With the last ga.me over, trophies were presented to the winning teams.

The B team last year, won twenty-one of twenty-three games, so the varsity had good mat- erial to build around the returning lettermen. Cuba started off at a very good pace, winning the first three games from Vermont, Ipava, and Bushnell, rolling over the oppon- ents without stiff competition. In these first games all the first ten players saw a lot of action. Then carne our first setback, when we were beaten by Lewistown, with a score of 35-31. ' The varsity then gained its fourth triumph in five starts, against a fighting and determined London Mills five, nosing out the opposi- tion by one point. Against a smooth, skilled Farmington quintet Cuba received its second defeat of the season. The last week before Christrnas vacation Cuba won one,and lost one, winning from a weak Astoria tearn on their gym, which is rath- er small and hard to play on. Then, winding up the last garnes be- fore vacation, Cuba lost to a tall and speedy Corpus Christi teazn, of Galesburg. Cuba came back after vacation in the same manner. Losing a hard fought game to the London Mills varsity was the beginning. Cuba then ca.rne back into the winning colurnn by scoring an unex- pected victory over Lewistown, and then defeating a Bushness five in the following week. I Cuba's team traveled to Avon for its next opposition. Here Cuba was nosed out 31-29. Several boys fouled out before the playing time ended. The last game before the Fulton County Tournament found Cuba overthrowing a tough Fairview quintet. This was the first time Cuba had beaten Fairview in the past three seasons. Then came the long-awaited County Tournament. Cuba did not play until the second evening of the Tournament, and did not live up to their expectations. With three Cuba players leaving the game, two with injuries, and one fouling out, Cuba lost a heartbreaking as we as a backbreaking contest to Fairview. The game became ra.- ther rough in the last ha1f,1perhaps the roughest of the Tournament, This setback eliminated a sad Cuba team from the County Tourna- ment. Cuba, recovering from the Tournament, defeated the Corpus Christi varsity at Galesburg, by fast breaking and fair accuracy at the hoop. Then the Farmington varsity, undefeated at the time, ov- er-ran Cuba 65-29. On perhaps the coldest evening of the basketball season Cuba journeyed to Ipava. This looked like a sure victory for Cuba at the end of the third quarter, for we had a fourteen point lead. But inthe last frame Cuba scored but four points, while Ipava netted nineteen points, to take a one-point lead, which held good the last few sec- onds. ' Though Cuba had broken the jinx earlier in the season, Fair- view downed Cuba for their ninth setback.

The next contest was much like a practice session. Cuba used substitutes freely in beat- ing Vermont 96-28, the highest score Cuba has run up for quite a few years. The last scheduled game of the 1946-1947 seasonresult- ed in a Cuba victory over a scrappy and determined Astoria tearn. In an extra pre-Tournament ga.me Havana led Cuba all the way, to be set back 48-41. On March 5, Cuba entered the Canton Regional Tournament by playing Fairview, winner of Prairie City District. Franc Krohe, jack Shryock, Larry Clifford, and Wilbur McClaugh.'ry played their last high school game in this Tournament. . The Cuba Reserves of the High School won ten and lost ten games throughout the 1946-1947 basketball season, while the Varsity gained eleven victories against ten defeats. - Slvlwklkfklivllllvlllkflvk FULTON COUNTY BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT 88883888283tvS3338583181ktwkkkiii8314vtiitkiitithiiiiiiiilkil On Wednesday morning, january ZZ, the first day of the first game of the 1947 annual Fulton County Basketball Tournament, one of the most interesting pep assemblies was held in Cuba Community High School. The program included vocal solos by Vera Clayberg and cornet solos by Mr. Marvin. A panel discussion was held upon the subject, What Cuba Can Do to Make the 1947 Fulton County Tnurnarnent the Best Ever. james Sosey, Eunice Clayberg, Miss Barbre, Clara Black and Mr. Veach took part. To open the 1947 annual Fulton County Basketball Tournarnent, Fairview downed Astoria 34--28 in a close contest. Astoria,although not rated so high, kept Fairview fighting all the way, Then, second, and most thrilling of the evening, was the Farmington andAvon con- test, with Farmington being the victor by fifteen points, the score standing 43-28 at the final gun. In this contest Repp, of Avon,estab- lished best free throw percentage, by making seven of seven charity throws. The third and last game of the evening s saw Lewistown down lpava 51-41. Azbell, of Ipava, kept his team in the running up till the last quarter, netting twenty-four points. It is estixnated that 1,200 people packed into the Cuba Gymnasium to see the first even- ing of the Tournament. The second evening found not quite so big a crowd, but still the gymnasium was filled, The more than 1000 fans saw London Mill beat Vermont by 49-28. Then ca.me the heartbreaking game for Cu- ba fansg seeing their team beaten in the last few minutes by Fair- view. Cuba, six nights before, had downed Fairview, but during the Tournament several Cuba boys were not up to par, because of colds. Cuba led during the first half, but Fairview came back in the third period to gain the lead, then widen the margin by seven oints. nsygygvnnnvnav itkvttkwttkttkvktttvttv tikittikkrtgtttiitktti VARSITY SCORE CARD ' 'F F F 3 T A f f P1aYe1'5 Quar- 5 Field Free Throws: Per- Q Total ters i goals Goo ' a lsonal '1 Points l saeef i 79 DI is F 729 f-+4 Q 21 V 179 McClaughry 79 Q 57 16 1 34 : 33 1 130 Melvin 76 5 45 31 : so I 84 : 121 Foster 73 : 40 38 5 35 : Z8 : 152 Clifford 48 , 34 -ZZ 28 8 Krohe 54 1 zo 9 : 27 f 41 f 49 Townslay 44 : 19 8 2 5 I 31 1 46 Harrison 33 : 14 1 : 4 : 16 : 28 Shryock 13 o 1 0 I Z ' 6 l 2 Vance 1 Q o 1 Q 1 o 3 1 44444444-rms BASKETBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1946-1947 November 7 Cuba 63 Vermont Z7 November Cuba Z9 Ipava 21 December Cuba 38 Bushnell 18 December Cuba 31 Lewistown 3 5 December Cuba 33 London Mills 32 December Cuba Z4 Farmington 54 December Cuba 45 Astoria 29 December Cuba 33 C, Christi 45 january Cuba 4-7 London Mills 50 january Cuba 43 Lewistown 29 january Cuba 37 Bushnell 22 january Cuba Z9 Avon 31 january Cuba 40 Fairview 36 ikjanuary Cuba. 23 Fairview 26 january Cuba 30 .

Among them three let- termen from last year 's squad, Dick McCloskey, Bill Vaughn and Wilbur McC1aughry. Others reproting were Max Foster, Bill Fry, Bob Herriford, Doyle Waughtel and George johnson. On May 6, the Fulton County Track and Field Meet was held at Lewistown in which Cuba participated among the other schools of the county. As many meets as possible were scheduled, even though there was a small squad. An annual event at Cuba Community High School is the intra- class Track and Field Meet with all four classes participating, if they desire. Last spring, several boys took a great deal of interest in this meet which showed some very good talent and ability. The order in which the classes placed last spring of 1946 were: Seniors, Freshmen, Sophomores and then the juniors. Although there WHS such a small number to choose from, Mr. Veach did his part to pro- duce a physically fit track team. Last spring, 1946, baseball and track were both taken up as spring sports, but do to lack of inter est baseball was discontinued. There are a few boys that would like to see baseball and track both brought up as a major sport such as basketball and football, but there are not enough boys that will show inter est so that these sports can be placed in the curriculum.

F. A. was organized by William R. Queen, the vocational agriculture teacher, in 1929, with an enrollment of eighteen members. The classroom at that time was the present ty- ping room, and the Farm Shop was across the street in an old barn. In 1940, a new building was erected containing a classroom, an of- fice, a laboratory, and a shop which is rated as the best equipped in Illinois. The enrollment in 1947 is sixty-one active mernbers, carrying over 100 projects, including sheep, swine, dairy, beef, horses, poul- try, ducks, garden, rabbits, and grain projects. Officers of 194-6- 194-7 areg. Charles Thum, Presidentg Burce Sweney, Vice President, Bob Stevenson, Secretary, Harvey Henderson, Treasurer, Richard Spangler, Reporter, and Hobart Hinderliter, Assistant Reporter. Injune of 194-6, four tearns from Cuba competed in State F.F,A. judging Contest at the University of Illinois, and all four teams re- ceived A ratings. The members of the teams included: Dairy--Ev- eritt Vander Ha.mm, Clifford Bump, Richard Spanglerg Fat Stock-- Hobart Hinderliter, Bob Pittman, Bob Stevenson, Poultry--jirn So- sey, Ronald Rockg Grain--Bill Sweney, Bruce Sweney, Harvey Hen- derson. Also, in the Section 8 F. F. A. Grain judging Contest, Cuba's team placed third, and Bill Sweney was the second highest individu- al. The members of the team included Bill Sweney, Bruce Sweney, Donald Churchill, Donald Foulk, and Lynn Logan. At the F. F. A. 4H, and the Open Show at Lewistown, forty-four F. F. A. members exhibited their projects, and received 500 ribbons and over S 1000 in premium money. At the Section 8 F. F. A. Grain Show at Delavan, Cuba received five firsts, six seconds, five thirds, and two fourths in grain entries. Activities for the year included the F. F. A.-F. H. A. hayride, an F. F. A. basketball tearn, the F. F. A.-F. H. A, party, the F.F.A.- F.H.A. banquet, and the F. F. A, float exhibit at the Homecoming. In April Richard Spangler, Harvey Henderson, Bob Stevenson and Charles Thum received the State Farmer Degree, which is giv- en to only 200 boys in Illinois each year. The curriculum in agricultural education contains courses deal- ing with a variety of topics. The freshman class studies ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, dealing with livestock and their judging. The Sopho- mores study soils, pruning, and ten weeks of woodworking exercises. The Farm Shop class deals with woodworking. soldering, tool shar- pening, forge work, electric wiring, painting, and cementing. The Farm Management course includes painting, concrete work, soil tes- ting electric motors, farm accounting, farm mapping, and major re- pair work. A11 these subjects help prepare any student to genome a better scientific farmer of the land. ivkllvkdflk21090512511922911022l0lf2k4vl0lf2k20r2k26f2k4G2lrIlf4HIll1lf1Qr1k1l219fSkill!!!Ikikilvlvivk19fH!UlrIlrl9IHlUlHGII0lllllkllH9l2lr20'lk4lllfIlI N FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA aooecmssssvassswaufwe:crows:wwwssswfxorsarammsxsarmmmnwrarmaamssxas: au: The Cuba Chapter of F.H.A. was organized in 1945 by Helen L. Melvin, Home Economics teacher. Twelve years previously the club was knownas the Cuba Home Ec. Club. The F.H.A. meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month in the music room with an attendance of 56 members. A business meeting is held and talks on various activities are given by the F.H.A. girls or an out- side speaker. The first Home Economics class was taught in 1935 with Alcia Brown as teacher. In 1937 a house owned by jacob Hinderliter was purchased by the school board for a I-Iome Arts house. The Home Economics classes previous to this were held in IOOITI. No. 3 which is now lviiss Nesse1's room and in the room which is now theReflec- tor Staff room. Since 1941 a summer caznp has been held for F.H.A. girls at Lake Bloomington. Our chapter has sent two delegates each year. Arlene johnson and Thelma Howerter were the delegates for the 1945-46 year. ' ln 194-5 the F.H.A. was first established as a National organi- zation. The states were divided into sections and Cuba is a mem- ber of Section 12 which includes Fulton, Knox, Mason, and Taze- well counties. Thelma Howerter was the first F.H.A. president of Section IZ. The classes of Homemaking study varied units of work each year. Clothing, xoods, home management, good grooming and child care are main units. Minor units may vary with ditierent classes and include. such things as consumer buying, home nursing, art prin- ciples, interior decoration and others. Each year F.H.A. girls ex- hibit foods and clothing at the County Fair. The Home Arts house has six rooms. The upstairs of the house is used for sewing classes and the downstairs for the cooking class- es. The kitchen has all modern equipment and Home Arts house is used for Faculty parties, Cuba Women's club meetings and other community meetings. The F.H.A. sponsors one or two all-school parties during the year, F.F.A.-F.H.A. hayride, F.F.A.-F.H.A. formal dance, F.F.A.- F.H.A. Banquet, Mother and Daughter teas and assemblies. iktiiitkitiiikiii Old King Stutsman is a jolly good feller, And a jolly old feller is he.

The Seniors wanted to see their class re-establish an honor custom, and finding a sponsor was the difficult problem. Mr. Biggs agreed to take the headaches and work which goes with all yearbooks. The publishing contracts were signed with the Walsworth Bro- thers, and the same month the staff was announced. The staff was chosen on several qualities--the ability to co-operate, dependability, punctuality, personality, and scholastically. The yearbook received its name, THE CARD-INAL, injanuary. The Seniors decided since their athletic teams carried the name Cardinal and it also was the state bird, that THE CARDINAL was the only appropriate name. Mr. Burch came from Iowa and took the pictures in February. The staff's headaches then were reduced to a minimum. The staff met during the sixth hour three days a week and dur- ing the last two weeks before publication met every day. The Card- inal would not have been published if it hadn't been for the complete co-operation between the sponsor, editor, and the assistant- editor. We, the staff, hope that this yearbook, THE CARDINAL, shall establish a long and honor custom, in Cuba Community High School. tit!!iiitiikkiiii18311118iikiiiiiiitiiikkiiiiiiYkiiiitiiiiiii R EF LEE TOR STAFF First row - left to right .- Lorena Miller, Clara Black, Margaret Amsler, Hobart Hinderliter, Thelma Howerter, 1,,p,1-ry Clifford, jane Ann Townslay, Betty Herriford, James Hess.
