This shy seventeen consisted of Joan Taylor, Marguerite Crisman, Mary Ellen Sprague, Alice Thompson, Charles Thompson, Bill Golden, Buddy Kallembach, Wendell Foster, Evelyn Wine, and Shirley Trigg, all coming from the DeLand Grade School; Marilyn Cozad, Lynn Cozad, and Audrey Cafin, contributed by Fairview School; Jean Burton, Josie Winder, and Dale Lilly from Monticello. Our first few weeks as “freshies were made as uncomfortable as possible by the upper classmen and we were apt to be seen in some peculiar situations. After initiation we settled down to take an active part in life at D.T.H.S. Joan Taylor was elected class president and Mr. Hall was our advisor. We enjoyed a number of parties during the year, several of which were skating parties. During the year we lost Jean Burton and Josie Winder and gained Elwood Williams. We returned in ' 46 as sophisticated Sophomores. We found Audrey Cafin missing from our ranks. Marilyn Cozad was elected class president and Miss Baer was our adviser. We sponsored a hayride, Halloween party and several skating parties during the year. Nineteen forty-seven found us minus two boys, Elwood Williams and Dale Lilly who de- cided he liked Monticello after all. We acquired Patsy Maden and Joyce Francisco. We elect- ed Bill Golden president and Mrs. Simer and Mr. Harper were our class advisers. Our Junior year was full of activities. On October 24, 1947 we presented the play, “Full of Youth. The play was directed by Miss Van Metre, assisted by Miss Matson. We also had a magazine drive in the fall and ran a concession stand at the basketball games in order to have a better prom. A big event in our lives was the day we received our class rings. The main event of the year, however, was the Junior-Senior Prom, carrying out the theme of Club 48. The fall of 48 found DeLand and vVeldon Schools combined into D.W.S.H.S. During the summer we lost Evelyn to Elwood. The class chose Wendell Foster for the president. Mr. Clapper and Mr. Wine were our advisers. One of our first activities was the selling of ads for the annual. The class was divided into groups, and each group solicited a specific area. We have enjoyed a few parties this year and are looking forward to more as the year goes on. The Senior Play, Senior Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement are yet to come. Our class history is nearly finished; from here it will be only individual history. ci ass Distent of Weld on Students On August 27th, 1945, sixteen brave green freshmen entered the doors of the Nixon Town- ship High School. Our class had representatives from several different grade schools. June Brennan came from the Lane Grade School, Opal Wise and Eileen Massey from Union. Weldon’s Grade School gave us Eugene Yates, Ronald Danison, John Lowrey, Charlotte Shearer, and Robert Perkins. Anne Carr came from Prairie View. From Lincoln grade came Doris Mix and James Jiles. Nettie Barton and Dorothy Resser came from Bosserman. Pearl Runyen from Prospect Bob Niles came from the Twist school. Glenn Miller came from Charter Oak. Mrs. Stauffer was our class adviser. Initiation took place during the first three weeks of school and then we were full-fledged Freshmen. Anne Carr was elected president of the class. We had representation in band and chorus. The following year found Bob Perking missing from our class with plans to join the Navy and sail the seas. We had several class parties this year. Our class adviser was Miss Mary Olson. Things really began to happen in our Junior year. Hobart Sailor came to Weldon from Mansfield and Essie Vaughn came across the border from Indiana. Glenn Miller was now attending school at Clinton High School. A class play, “Just Ducky, was presented by the entire class under the direction of Mrs. Kingston. Miss Olson was our class adviser this year and with her help the biggest event of the year took place--The Junior-Senior Banquet. This was held at the Rogers Hotel in Bloomington and then we went to the Irvin theater afterwards. This was the year that marriage fever hit the Weldon students. Among the casualties was a classmdte--Nettie Barton. Luring the summer there were many changes. The most important was the consolidation of the DeLand and the Weldon high schools. This was just like starting out to school again for the first time because the Weldon students had to learn the location of the rooms and the names of the teachers. Among the Weldon students missing were Pearl Runyern, Nettie Barton, and Robert Niles. From here on the history is singular. 15 DeLanJ-WeU on Senior Class Will We, the class of 49. cities of DeLand - Weldon, state of Illinois, being of unsound mind and forgetful memory, do, make, and publish, this to be our last will and testament.

Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl 16 Prophet ij Paris, 1964 While I was at the fashion show last week, whom should I meet but Eugene Yates , the fam- ous designer who was showing some of his latest creations at the show. His top model was none other than Joan Taylor. I was overjoyed to see these old schoolmates of mine and when they suggested that we dine together, I gladly accepted. We went to the famous Paris night club, the Fouqueto Inn, where the famous singer and dancer, Dorothy Reeser , was being featured. The hostess of the club was Mary Ellen Sprague. She now manages one of the three restaurants she and her husband own there. While we ate we began to talk of some of our old classmates of ' 49 at Deland-Weldon Senior High School. While Eugene and Joan had been traveling on the con- tinent, they had run across Essie Vaughn, the famous newspaper columnist. She now has a syndicated column in sixty two newspapers. They also told me of Anne Carr who is a missionary in Siam. Anne is still unmarried as g he found she couldn’t choose from her many admirers. Marguerite Crisman is now dancing in the Broadway production of the popular musical, Sunshine. John Lowrcy is the senator at large from Illinois. His beautiful home in Washington is the scene of many gay parties. June Brennan is secretary to the President of the United States. Leon Souders is a photographer, with studios in Chicago. His portraits of Chicago elite are very famous. Joyce Francisco, the famous movie star, has just been starred in a movie opposite Roy Rogers . Her old chum, Buddy Kallembach, is her manager and paints in his spare time. A small, little, old man stopped at our table. For a moment we didn’t know him. It was Ronnie Danison, who had been prospecting for gold in California and struck it rich. He was now touring the world on his new fortune. He sat down at our table and supplied us with the following knowledge of our classmates: Shirley Trigg, the famous scientist, has just perfected new gasoline for motor bikes which sells for five cents a gallon. She is also married now and has three red-headed children. Charles Thompson is managing the ladies ready-to-wear department at Macy’s Department Store in New York. He didn’t have much luck or get rich very fast as a cartoonist. Opal Wise is an old maid school teacher. She is filling Miss Van Metre ' s shoes at D-W Senior High School. Marilyn Cozad is a nurse in Decatur, while waiting for Wendell F oster , who is playing with the Chicago Cubs to get enough money to buy the ring. Patsy Maden is playing on a famous basketball team from St. Louis. She plays forward and is the team ' s high point man. Eileen Massey has married and settled down on a farm near Weldon. She goes to every dance held within a radius of fifty miles. We had been so engrossed in our talk that the trim, dark haired woman who stood at our table had to speak twice before we knew she was there. Yes, it was the former Charlotte Shearer, who had won a trip around the world on one of those quiz programs. She told us that she was happily married and living in Tennessee with her husband and si x children. She added to our now growing information by telling us of the following people. Lynn Cozad has forsaken the National Guard for the Navy and has worked himself up to the rank of Admiral. Bill Golden owns a garage in DeLand. He plays and sings every evening for recreation. Alice Richardson is happily married and has seventeen children plus a happy home, Doris Mix White is now the dean of MacMurray College for women in Jacksonville, Illinois. Hobart “Fiddle” Sailor, the famous surgeon, has his own hospital and has gained fame through his progress in medicine. James Jiles is an engineer who builds wonderful bridges. He is working on one now, which is to span the Atlantic. By this time we had finished our meal and the hour had grown late. As I had an early appointment the next day, I took leave of my friends, expressing again my happiness at seeing them. — THE END. 17 UNDERGRADS unions G. ALLAN S. DAWSON B. MENELEY J. SCHREODER M.

WEBB 19 Junior Cl ass Historij In the fall of 1946, two classes of green looking (and acting) Freshmen entered high school to begin their first lap on the road to knowledge. In the class at Weldon, there were twenty-one members, and at DeLand there were nineteen members. By the next fall the number in Weldon was down to eighteen, and soon Jessie Wisegarver moved away, leaving seventeen. The class number in DeLand that year was also seventeen. At the beginning of our Junior year the two classes were joined together. There were twenty-seven members to start with but two dropped out. We selected our officers as follows: President Myra Seal Vice - President Donald Stites Secretary Eudean Norfleet Treasurer Faye King Student Council Eva West and Bob Kallembach Our Junior Play, “Parents Are Like That towns and was a success. was presented in both The big event of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom held on May 6. 20 ATHLETICS S ' 23 Baseball Group Piet lurf FIRST ROW: SECOND ROW: THIRD ROW: Max Parrish, Ronnie Panison, Dick Loney, Charles Thompson, Wendell Foster.

The hitting was divided up with Bob Kallembach and Wendell Foster getting 2 hits apiece. Mouser got the only hit Wendell Foster gave up. The second game found the local boys entertaining the Bellflower Dragons. The locals handed the visiting team a 9 to 0 defeat. The hitting was led by Bill Golden and Dick Loney with 3 hits apiece. Wendell Foster hurled for the locals and turned in a creditable no-hit, no-run ball game. Again the locals hit the win column by beating Kenney 21 to 4. The hitting was led by Hobart Sailor with 4 for 4 and closely followed by Eudean Norfleet with 3 for 4. Wendell Foster and Ralph Massey did the hurling for DeLand -Weldon. After the locals had won 3 in a row, a strong team from Argenta handed them their first taste of defeat. The score was 6 to 3 and DeLand -Weldon was on the short end of the score. Wendell Foster allowed 6 hits and York allowed 7 hits for Argenta. Loney and O ' Daffer were the chief hitters with 3 for 3 and 2 for 4 respectively. DeLand-Weldon traveled to Bellflower and again tasted victory at the expense of the Bellflower nine. DeLand-Weldon won handily behind the no -hit pitching of Wendell Foster. This was the second time this season that Wendell Foster had thrown a no-hit game. Both of them were at the expense of Bellflower. The hitting was divided equally with Phares O Daffer getting 2 hits. In the last game of the fall season, the local nine traveled to Saybrook to receive their worst defeat of the year. Roy Thompson allowed only 2 hits in the 7 innings he worked for Saybrook. 24 The season was truly a successful one, considering that we had only two letter- men back from last year’s team.

Reserve Team The DeLand -Weldon reserves won 10 and lost 9 in the season of 1948 -49. Three of their losses could have been wins as easily as they were losses. The boys on the team worked hard in every game, winning or losing, and deserved every game they won. Buddy Clow was th e leading free throw shooter for the reserves with a .587 average. We will see a lot more of these boys as they are all sophomores. We hope they have the same spirit they showed this year, all the rest of their high school days.

During the basketball season our band played at several of the home games. Gn December 8th, members of the band, boys and girls’ chorus were selected to partici- pate in the Music Festival held at Monticello. Rehearsals and clinic classes went on all day and that night the combined choruses and bands of the county presented a concert in the Monticello gym. There were also several special numbers. Everyone had a good time and also learned a lot from the clinic leaders who are experts in their own field of Music. A few weeks before Christmas a Christmas program was planned. During this time a boys’ quartet was chosen. The members are: Hobart Sailor, Leon Souders, Buddy Kallembach, and Phares O’Daffer, On the night of December 22nd, the program was presented in the De- Land gym. The mixed, boys and girls’ chorus sang many songs and carols, the quartet sang two numbers, a vocal duet was furnished by Gretchen Shinneman and Ada Pearl, a clarinet duet was played by Jo Ann Johnson and Peggy Corder, and special numbers were by Buddy Kallembach and Joyce Francisco. There will be a music contest given which, will be held at Bloomington on March 26th. We now have a mixed ensemble and a girls ensemble which will attend this. There will be others taking part in this contest. Buddy Kallembach, Leon Souders, Carol Mix, Hobart Sailor, and Joyce Francisco will sing solos. All of the members sincerely hope that Mrs. Smith received some enjoyment out of working with us, as all of the members have enjoyed working under her direction. We also hope that the public interest will help us in forming another chorus next year and that it will be as successful. 35 F. F. A. ROW ONE: J. Lowery R. Dannison Mr. Harper R. Edwards S.

The National Emblem of the Future Farmers of America, which is used by all members ol the organization, is made up of five symbols; the owl, the plow, and the rising sun within the cross section of an ear of corn, and is surmounted by the American Eagle. Upon the face of the emblem appears the words “Vocational Agriculture and the letters “F. F. A. The owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowledge; the plow is a symbol of labor and tillage of the soil; the rising sun is the emblem of progress and the new day that will dawn when all farmers are trained and have learned to cooperate; the cross section of an ear of corn represents common agricultural intere sts since corn is native to America and grown in every state; and the eagle is indicative of the national scope of the organization. The aim of the Future Farmers of America is the development of agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship. The purposes are: 1. To develop competent, aggressive, rural, and agricultural leadership. 2. To create and nurture a love of country life. 3. To strengthen the confidence of farm boys and young men in themselves and their work. 4. To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations. 5. To encourage members in the development of individual farming programs. 6. To encourage members to improve the farm home and its surroundings. 7. To participate in worthy undertakings for the improvements of agriculture. 8. To develop character, train for useful citizenship, and foster patriotism. 9. To participate in cooperative effort. 10. To encourage and practice thrift. 11. To encourage improvement in scholarship. 12. To provide and encourage the development of organized rural recreational activities. The officers in our club are: president, Buddy Kallembach; vice-president, John Lowery; secretary, Wendell Foster; treasurer, Donald Stites; reporter, Hobart Sailor; watch dog, Bill Golden; and advisor, Mr. Harper. There are twenty-three members in our club. The rich and cheerful colors are National Blue and Corn Gold. The official salute of the F.F.A. is the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag. The motto, learning to do; doing to learn; living to serve, consists of four lines that are filled with a reflecting spirit and sincerity that shows the true view point of farm youth. P ulure I 1 omema kers ol rriprica The emblem of F.H.A. is octagonal in shape and around the top is inscribed the name of our organization, “Future Homemakers of America.” Around the bottom is our motto, “Toward New Horizons, which expresses the purposes of the organization. In the center is a house supported by two hands, symbolizing the husband and wife supporting the home. The rays of light promote life in its fullest meaning and hope. The flower, red rose, is symbolic of vibrant, glowing health. The colors are red and white which symbolize youth. The Future Homemakers Chapter was organized in September with an enrollment of thirty- one members. Immediately the committee chairmen were appointed by the President and committees were formulated. In October, a tea was given for our mothers and our invited guests, “The Champaign Chapter of F.H.A. ’ who proceeded to properly install our officers in their respective offices for the present year. The candle light and emblem service which they presented was beautiful. A bake sale made us financially sound. In November, we observed the National Future Homemaker week by each F.H.A.’er attending the church of her choice and a program or party for each day of the week. In December, our Mystery Pals enjoyed small gifts while we filled two large baskets for the needy and the aged The officers were: President, Ada Pearl; Vice-President, Jo Anne Johnson; Secretary, Edith Yates, Treasurer; Gloria Allan, Charge of Projects; Alice Thompson, Song Leader; Charge of Public Relations; Christine Foster, Charge of Recreation; Mary L.

Each class met for forty minutes five times a week. Since the weather was balmy in the fall, calisthenics were aeld out-of-doors. After much toe-touching, sitting up exercises, and co-ordination activi- ties, we moved out to the baseball field. Surprisingly enough, some of the girls found they could run faster without shoes. We often heard, “Where are your shoes?” Then came archery. That was fun. That is all but the arrow chasing. In tumbling, the girls enjoyed pyramid building most of all. When autumn leaves fell and the atmos- phere chilled, hints were heard that the gym would be more comfortable, so we moved inside with the relays, more difficult forms of calisthenics, ping pong, tumbling, stunts, marching, games of rhythm and contests. Line soccer and volleyball were introduced. Basketball (girls’ rules) se emed to find a rating of first choice while bat ball was en- joyed too. Lest we forget, health lessons, safety, and visual education were a necessity. To round out the program lessons on manners and customs along with the code of good sportsmanship were interpreted. Competition? Yes, we played the fifth hour girls in basketball. We were quite evenly matched but the score varied somewhat! The school year is about over, and our physical education activities must enrich us with better posture, pleasantness’and poise --all of which are conclusive to good health. G. A. A. This year the following girls, Anne C. - President; Christine F. - Vice-President; Marilyn C.- Secretary; Georgia C. - Treasurer; Barbara M.-Reporter; Myra S. -Parlia- mentarian; Marguerite C. -Point System; Peggy M.; Colleen C.; Darlene S.; Patsy M.; Mary Ellen S.; Dorothy R.; and Miss De Atley-Advisor, became members of the local chapter of the Illinois Girls ' Athletic Association. The League Program included Play Day-- such as the “Gold Rush Caravan” at Urbana High School on October 30th, one week leadership camps for student G.A.A. members, which is held in June each year, tournament in archery, basket shooting, and bowling, a state-wide point system for awards and a free library service. The point system was devised to insure equality of opportunity in the winning of awards and to encourage participation by all girls. Any school that is a member in good standing with the Illinois High School Association is able to participate in the program of the League. Our G.A.A. group is interested in calisthenics, health, archery, baseball, basketball, bowling, tumbling, bicycling, golf, horseback riding, skating, tennis, hikes, roller skating, and swimming. All members are active and enjoy working on the league stunt require- ments. 40 THIRD ROW: FOURTH ROW: J. Harris, M. Rudisill, R. Kallembach, L. Cozad, J. Jiles, D. Stites, and R. Massey. C.

Gloria Allen, Dick Loney, Darlene Souders, Carl Shepherd, and Sharon Carr. 41 umor ass On November 4th and 5th of 1948 the Juniors presented their play, “Parents Are Like That. ” The cast was as follows: Mrs. Bowdon , a sweet spirited, motherly woman in her late forties Myra Seal. Clara , Mrs. Bowdon ' s spinster sister, sharp of tongue and sharp of wit--a librarian who makes her home with the Bowdon ' s Sharon Dawson. Mr. Bowdon , a hard working, ambitious, civic-minded man, easily excited, at times a bit fussy Donald Stites. Donny Bowdon , a lively sixteen- year- old son, very masculine except when under the influence of his girl friend, at which time her slightest wish is his command Sonny Shepherd. Geraldine Bowdon (Jelly), Donny ' s fourteen-year- old sister, mischievous and moony Darlene Sauders. Barbara Bowdon , (Barby), the eighteen-year- old daughter of the Bowdon’s, sweet, very pretty, secretive, and full of big ideas--Peggy Corder. Ross Wheeler, Barby’s business partner and friend, agreeable, ambitious, and with a rather single-tract mind Eudean Norfleet. Frestos , Jelly’s friend, a devilish little girl with an eye to business, about fourteen- --Sharon Carr. Mrs. Wheeler, Ross’s overly anxious mother, stout, tempermental, out-spoken, but ready to forgive and forget- -Gloria Allen. Mayor Hanson , a jumpy little man ready to raise a fuss over nothing, but eager to stop fussing when it is to his best interest Dick Loney. Della , Donny’s girl friend Betty Burns. Story of the Play When a pretty girl like Barby Bowdon sits starry-eyed instead of eating, when she is seen constantly with a certain young man, and when she is very secretive about her plans and activities, her family and the whole town in fact is likely to come to just one conclusion. Add to the conclusion a prank-playing kid brother, a mischievous kid sister, and a gossip-loving maiden aunt, and it isn’t any wonder that Dad and Mother Bowdon suspect an elopement in the offing. Besides, aren’t Barbara Bowdon and Ross Wheeler seen coming out of the jewelers, and looking at furniture, and talking to real estate dealers ? Its all happening at a most awkward time too for the Bowdons, particularly Mr. Bowdon, who is about to realize an old ambition by winning a nomination to the school board, an honor and civic service he most certainly won’t win if there is a scandal in his family. The fact that son, Donny is suspected by the mayor of having deflated that honorable gentlemen’s automobile tires doesn’t help Mr. Bowdon s chances for nomination. A vigorous little girl named Fretos happens along with her Candid Camera as Donny and his pal are conducting their operations on the mayor’s car, too. It looks pretty bad for Mr. Bowdon. What chances has he to win the election, with a prankster like Donny and an eloping daughter like Barby in his family? It’s too bad, too, because the school system needs a man like Donald Bowdon. When Ross Wheeler’s furious mother swoops down on the Bodon’s, accusing Barbara of stealing her boy from her, poor papa Bowdon is bluer than Mood Indigo. Finally the pictures are developed, clearing Donny of the tire-deflating c r im e clearing him, yet in a funny way involving him all the deeper. Finally, too, Ross has that inevitable talk with Mr. Bowdon, who assumes Ross is trying to ask for the hand of Barbara in marriage. When the Bowdon’s finally realize that their troubles are over. Or is that where their troubles really begin? Well, everything is finally settled. Mr. Bowdon wins the nomination, but to his surprise loses his daughter, who becomes Mrs. Ross Wheeler. ROW ONE: C.

The junior high now occupies the building formerly used by the Nixon Township High School. The junior high is composed of the grades seven, eight and nine with an enrollment of one- hundred and twenty- one students. At the beginning of the school year each class elected its officers for the year. The twenty-six ninth graders chose Beverly Shaw as their president; Wayne Clifton, vice-president; Beverly Swartz, secretary; and Harrison Neal as treasurer. The eighth grade officers were Steven Goodman, president; Barbara Kallemback; vice-president; Jacqueline Benge, secretary and Frederick Gift, treasurer. The seventh grade organized its fifty-nine members, electing: Mary Louise Taylor as president; Vivian Perkins, vice-president; Marlene Meyer, secretary; and Doris Syestka, treasurer. Many school parties were given by the students, the first being an all school get-acquainted party. During October the freshmen and eighth graders held parties for their members. The month of February brought several class parties; the seventh grade held a valentine party and the ninth graders entertained the eighth grade with a costume party. The athletic program under the supervision of Maurice Clapper consists of soft- ball for the seventh and eighth grades and baseball for the ninth graders in the fall.
