This little group consisted f Imogene Keller, Carol Maden, Milford Burton, Earl Francisco, Keith Floyd, ratherrean Burton, Genelie Rule, Jerry Harris, Mary Fahrnkopf, Peggy Corder, Eudean Norfleet, Donald Stites, Gene Buchanan, Loren Trimble, Robert Kallembach, Richard Loney, Robert Bushell, Marion Rudisill. and Mary Webb. Everyone soon became accustomed to the ways of D.T.H.S. We had our first class meeting under the direction of Miss Cathcart. Milford Burton was elected President of the class. During our first year in high school, we lost six students, Imogene Keller, Milford Burton, Earl Francisco, Keith Floyd, Genelie Rule, and Jerry Harris. During our second year Loren Trimble left our class and we gained Barbara Meneley, Carl Shepherd, Bob Rhodes, Elwood Williams, and Jerry Harris. Elwood Williams was elected president of the Sophomore class. We all had fun leading the green freshies around and more fun watching them be initiated as we had been the previous year. Near the end of the school year one more Sophomore was gained, it was Darlene Souders from Monticello. This gave us a total of eighteen Sophomores. WELDON SENIOR HISTORY The day of days had come at last. We, the greenest group of Freshmen N.T.H.S. had ever seen, were to enter high school. We filed slowly into the study hall and sat there too scared to move until a strange bell rang and everyone (except us) started going somewhere. We were terribly confused but at last with the help of Mr. Dickey and the teachers we found our way to our classes. About two weeks later the rest of the classes had a lot of fun with the green freshies and had us doing some very funny things for a day but we found that we had a lot of fun too. Our first year passed very successfully with Miss Norrick as our class adviser and the following as our class officers: Sharon Carr, President; Alberta Edwards, Vice-President; Ralph Massey, Secretary-Treasurer; Jessie Mae Wisegarver, Student Council. During our Freshman year we lost Lester Anderson to the Navy and Phil Arnett moved away and we gained Howard Turner from Montgomery, Alabama, and Jack Thomas from Lincoln. Curtis Marcum dropped out of school but returned the following year. The second year we entered school with a little more confidence and, of course, we had a lot of fun out of the new Freshmen that came that year. We met with Mrs. Kingston as our class adviser and elected the following as class officers: Betty Burns, President; Ralph Massey, Vice-President; Jack Thomas, Secretary-Treasurer; Howard Turner, Student Council. During the year we lost three members of our class; Charles Briggiman moved to Indiana, Alberta Edwards moved to Middletown and Jessie Mae Wisegarver moved to Clinton. From here on our class history is singular as DeLand-Weldon Senior High School. DeLAND-WELDON SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When school started the next fall, the DeLand High School and the Weldon High School were consolidated into the DeLand-Weldon Senior High School which made a good-sized Junior Class. There were twenty-seven members with Myra Seal acting as President. During the summer we had lost Dale King and Leon Radley from Weldon and Mary Fahrnkopf from DeLand. Near the beginning of the year the play, Parents Are Like That was presented in both DeLand and Weldon. The next big event was the receiving of the class rings. The Juniors had a lot of fun preparing and giving the Junior-Senior Prom. We were sorry to lose two of our students Mary Lou Webb and Margaret Conn. In the fall of 1949 we started back as Seniors and missing were Gene Buchanan, Barbara Meneley, Peggy Maden, and Jerry Harris. We had gained a student during the summer, Jim Cunningham from Waynesville. The Senior Class play Goodnight Ladies was presented in April. Just after the first semester we lost Sharon Carr. 13 Senior Class Will We the Senior class of DeLand-Weldon Senior High School, state of Illinois, being of unsound mind and forgetful memory do hereby swear that this is our last will and testament, uttered and testified and inscribed this 8th day of February in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty.

Witnesses: Signed, Class of 50 Darlene Souders, Fay King Tom and Jerry Heckle and Jeckle Mickey and Minnie Mouse 14 Class Prophecy It is the year of 1960. The spirit of the graduating class of 1950 decides to look in on the Seniors (of that year) . His first stop is in Lansing, Michigan, at the Wave camp where Mrs. Hayne, the former Bertha Shofner, who is now married to a Navy Admiral, now is head of the recruiting office, and is busy being mother to the Waves and her two children. As the Phantom Cloud moves over Mansfield he looks in on the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Kallembach who are the proud owners of a six hundred and forty acre dairy farm. Their three sons are growing to be great athletes like their father. The spirit hopes they will do as well as Bob did. As the Prophet moves quickly on to Chicago he finds Peggy Corder who is preparing for her wedding to Dick. He is the chief executive of Marshal Field. Peggy has had a very successful career as a model in the English Tea Room. Peggy now plans to settle down and be a model wife. As the spirit travels on he sees Sonny Shepherd who is going into his office on State Street in Chicago. Sonny is the owner of several service stations. Sonny and his wife Beverly make their home in the Palmer House Hotel. As the Phantom Cloud looks in on Betty Burns he finds her in New York singing at the Metropolitan Opera. Betty has had a very successful career and is plan- ning on marrying her publicity agent. The spirit now finds Marion Rudisill as owner of a farm near Farmer City. As the spirit prepares to leave the farm he finds Marlon also leaving for a Ford Convention in St. Louis where he is an owner of a large Ford corporation. The spirit ' s next stop finds Dr. E.R. Warner and his wife the former Myra Seal. She is the Dean of Nurses at Mayo ' s Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Myra has kept very busy with her three children and as head of the nurses. Hollywood, California, finds the spirit in front of a large Beverly Hills mansion. The name on the gate entrance reads-Mr. and Mrs. Richard Loney and son Ricky. Mrs. Loney is the former Ada Pearl. She is making a picture i n sequence to the great musical hit, Skirts and Shirts, in which she is starred. Dick is a cameraman who has been shooting all of Ada ' s pictures. As the spirit is about to depart he sees a jeep driving into the gates of the Loney estate. Look. ' It is — no it can ' t be — but it is. ' Donald Stites comes bouncing into the large Loney Estate. Donald is now married to Zelma and is a very successful administra- tor for most of the cattle ranches around California. The Stites’ home is a large ranch on the outskirts of Hollywood. As the spirit starts back toward DeLand-Weldon Senior High, he stops at the wheat ranch of Eudean and Sheila Norfleet. In addition to raising wheat they are engaged in training race horses. Their son Beamish has become an expert at handling horses even at his tender age. The spirit boards an airplan e and finds Gloria Allan as stewardess serving lunch to Ralph Massey. Ralph makes frequent trips on the American Airlines to manage his Angus cattle ranches in the West. Ralph has remained a bachelor but the way things look now, if Gloria has her way, he won ' t be long. The plane lands in St. Louis, Missouri. Getting off the plane the spirit wanders through the business district where he sees a large neon sign that says: Katy ' s and Carol ' s Restaurant . The former Catherrean Burton and the former Carol Maden, now married, are keeping up their restaurant while their husbands work in a shoe factory. The spirit ' s next stop is in London where he goes to the London Symphony Hall. Jim Cunningham is playing first trombone in the London Symphony Orchestra. His wife, Barbara, attends all the concerts. As the spirit leaves the hall he notices a large crowd gathered along the streets. Joining the crowd, he sees the llmosine of the Lord and Lady Baltimore. Lady Baltimore Is the former Eva West. Prince Charles is accompaning them to Paris for a visit with his father and mother who have been vacationing there. The spirit boards the ship to America. As he nears Weldon he sees a mail box with tne name of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Thomas on it. They are now living on a farm not far from Weldon. Jack and Fay have been married ten years and have two children. They were married the night of their graduation from high school. As the spirit prepares to return to the DeLand-Weldon Senior High School he sees an out-of-state license plate from California as he passes the Souders ’ home. He sees Mr. and Mrs. Carl Cox. She is the former Darlene Souders. They have been living in California where he has been stationed. He is a captain in the Navy. As the Phantom Cloud is passing over Clinton he decides to stop and rest at a large modern tea room and he was surprised to find the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Miller, working happily together there. Sharon Dawson was Mr. Miller ' s wife ' s name before they were married shortly after her graduation from high school in June of 1950. Sharon and Jim ' s twin daughters make very charming hostesses . Well pleased with the Graduating Class of 1950 the spirit returns to DeLand- Weldon Senior High School. 15 SENIOR CHARACTERISTICS NAME HAS WANTS TO BE LIKELY TO BE Jack Thomas Ada Pearl Peggy Corder Faye King Dick Loney Darlene Souders Marion Rudisill Eva West Betty Burns Bertha Shofner Bob Kallembach Myra Seal Eudean Norfleet Catherrean Burton Jim Cunningham Carol Maden Carl Shepherd Gloria Allen Sharon Dawson Donald Stites Ralph Massey curly hair maroon skirt a ring a boy friend crew cut big smile ' 49 Ford a temper far-away-look a heart of gold basketball ability brains Someone’s ring long hair Barbara a radio love for English love for shorthand typing ability Zelma pretty hair partner to his father married post-graduate teaching Macbeth housewife Dicks wife secretary Jack’s wife jeweler jitterbug receptionist Mrs. Cox aviator undertaker nurse nurse nurse dishwasher stewardess housemaid coach bartender student in university circus performer pro. basketball player ballet dancer beauty operator Bement girl minister minister beauty operator another Bement girl businessman ditch-digger scholar aviator stenographer Jim’s housekeeper farmer bachelor farmer baby doctor 16 G.

Fifteen to the DeLand High School and twenty-one to the Weldon High School. Of the fifteen from DeLand only thirteen finished the year. Luther Snodgrass dropped out at the first of the year and Johnny Green moved. Six of the twenty-one from the Weldon High School finished with that class. Donald Bayne, Eugene Williams, and Bill Maiden quit school. Bill Milton and Bob Forbes moved to Clinton and Shirley Smith moved to St. Joseph. The next fall found the two classes combined. Twenty-four eager Sophomores entered the DeLand-Weldon Senior High School. At the end of the year our class had diminished to twenty-one. Rex Kallembach, and Bob Taylor, and Earl Francisco dropped out, and Mary Humble moved to Monticello. Our Junior year was looked forward to with great expectations. We elected the following class officers: JoAnne Johnson, President, Phares O’Daffer, Vice- President, Sheila Burton, Secretary-Treasurer, and Christine Foster and Buddy Clow, Student Council members. Miss DeAtley and Mr. Harper were our class sponsors . Georgia Crisman and Curtis Marcum quit school at the end of the first semester leaving us with nineteen in our class. We started the year with our Junior play ’’Brother Goose”. During the two weeks of play practice the class also raised money for our Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom by selling magazines. Money was still scarce so the class decided to have people vote on the king and queen of the Senior High. The King and Queen were crowned February 17, 1950 following the Fisher ball game The Juniors sponsored a dance following the coronation. Phares O’Daffer, and Buddy Clow are on the basketball team. Ronnie Edwards and Gene Ruble were on the team until they received leg and shoulder injuries. Edith Yates and Christine Foster make up half of the school’s cheerleaders. Several of the girls are active in F.H.A. and G.A.A The boys are active in F.F. A, The Junior Senior Prom is being held May 5, 1950. The theme? Well, thats a secret ! . ' 19 J. FRANKLIN W. CLIFTON N.

They are President, JoAnne Johnson; Vice-President, Gretchen Shinneman; Secretary, Gertrude Massey; Treasurer, Christine Foster; Song Leader, Donna Cozad; Pwh Ch. , Beverly Swartz; Program Ch. , Gretchen Shinneman; Program Committee, Ada Pearl, Georgia Crisman, and Joanne Schroeder; Profit Ch., Colleen Cooper; Parliamentarian, Gloria Allen; Historian, Velma Danison; Recreation Ch., Zelma Burton; Recreation Committee, Beverly Shaw and June Franklin; Chapter Mothers, Mrs. Eugene Johnson, and Mrs. Bernard Schroeder and our advisor, Miss DeAtley. The Future Homemaker’s Chapter was organized in September with signatures of twenty-five participants. Immediately chairmen of committees were appointed by the President and the committees were formulated. In October we planned and filled the box (18 lbs. ) to be sent overseas for the Christmas Festival. In November our club observed National F. H. A. week by planting the two rose bushes, planning a sunshine box, had an assembly program, made a birthday cake, had a Faculty Coffee Hour, went to Monticello for a demonstration on yeast breads, wrote recipes for an apple contest, and won the $50 award for 1st place and each member was encouraged to attend the church of her choice on Sunday. In December we packed a huge box for a needy family, bought gifts for all of the faculty children, and remembered our mystery pals with gifts. In January we received many hand painted cards in return for the packages we sent overseas. We also did good deeds for older members during the icy weather. In February our club sent a 14 lb. box of homemade cookies to the Cunningham home. The F.H.A. sponsored a ’’George Washington Hop”. Our F.H.A. program also included regular meetings, personality studies, hobbies, field trips, F.H.A. banquets, demonstrations, and numerous activities from February through May. Yes, ’’Grand Central Station” is the place where all our projects and plans and fun reach a terminal in which every member may share alike in the joys of having a part in the ’’Candlelight Service ol a Great Democracy”. 34 m F. F. A. The DeLand-Weldon Chapter of the Future Farmers of America has progressed very rapidly since receiving its charter in 1948. Many things have been ac- complished and a few of our members have been graduated and began their work to attain life’s highest goals. This year seven more members graduate. They are Dick Loney, Ralph Massey, Donald Stites, Jack Thomas, Eudean Norfleet, Marion Rudisill, and Bob Kallembach. These members, as well as the Ag. I and Ag. II students have participated in this year ' s activities. The officers for the 1949-1950 F.F.A. club are: President, Dick Loney; Vice-President, Don Stites; Secretary, Ralph Massey; Treasurer, Max Parrish and Reporter, Phares O ' Daffer. This year we have had a very good Program of Work. We have collected old scrap iron and have sold it in order to help make money for the Parent and Son Banquet which is to be held in March. The F.F.A. constructed a hog feeder and sold it at a public auction. A Chevrolet automobile was sold with the junk and the motor was rebuilt by the Ag. I class. The D-W Chapter all took part in the building of a two wheeled trailer. Other activities which require constructive skill were the building of a model barn and of a model house. The boys made a few puzzles and practiced sodering in some liesure time. Other practices which were not constructive, but which served as experience and profit were the sales of turkey raffle tickets, giving away of the turkey, and the selling of pencils with the D-W basketball schedule printed on them. All these things and a few more which are not mentioned provided experience, fun, and a background for further achievements of our Future Farmers of America. Mr. Harper, the F.F.A. advisor, who has disciplined the year ' s activities, and a committee are planning as a reward for the year ' s work the annual trip to be carried out in May. We all hope to have a better organization next year and to profit by the F.F.A. motto Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve. 35 FIRST ROW: SECOND ROW: THIRD ROW: M .

A For the school year of 1949-1950 the local G.A.A. was headed by the following officers elected at our first meeting: Peggy Corder, President; Georgia Crisman, Vice-President; Christine Foster, Secretary-Treasurer; Marilyn Twist, Reporter; Darlene Souders, Senior Point captain; Colleen Cooper, Junior Point Captain; Beverly Swartz, Sophomore Point Captain. Other members were Zelma Burton, Joy Bushel, Myrtle Ensign, JoAnne Schroeder, JoAnne Johnson, Veda Mae Parrish, June Franklin and Donna Cozad. At the second semester we had two new- comers — Carol Maden and Catherrean Burton. The advisor was Miss Cassida. The group planned meetings for every two weeks but sometimes boys’ basketball practice prevented this. The point system was devised by the state association to insure equality of opportunity in the winning of awards and to encourage participation by all girls. The girls received points for attending meetings at which time we played basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Other points were received for bowling, skating, coasting, and bicycling. The G. A. A. held a chili supper and gift exchange at Christmas. All members were very active and we plan on a much bigger and better G. A. A. next year.

Other members are James Smith, Donna Cozad, Buddy Clow and Donald Stites. Mr. Wilson is our advisor. The first Thursday of every month was the date decided upon for future meetings. A special meeting was called in January for the purpose of purchasing a plaque called The Treasury of Wisdom.” A set of fifty old and wise sayings came with the plaque and will be on display when it is not being used for advertising purposes. At another meeting in January it was decided to make the drive to the parking lot a one-way drive entering at the west gate witn the exit at the east gate. This was to prevent accidents from occuring. Two members may be able to attend a meeting held in Peoria in April. GUIDANCE We started to develop a guidance program in our school this year for the first time. This particular program is sponsored by our faculty with the sole purpose in mind to help our students to become more useful citizens. Briefly, the services offered to help our students are as follows: orientation in school, planning our future career, assisting in placement jobs, following up our graduates and helping in any manner possible in co-ordinating our students ' lives in their homes, school and community. We are beginning our guidance program on a small scale so as to get a better understanding of our student ' s problems. As we progress with our program, we plan to assist our students in discovering their problems of adjustment and help them to figure out ways to meet these problems. In order to help our students to learn about guidance ideas, we erected a bulletin board in front of the assembly to be used only for guidance purposes. Each month we place on this bulletin board a new poster which draws attention to a key thought that is elaborated upon in the phamplet supplied for this purpose. Some of our key thoughts have been; Growing Up Socially, Monty and You, How to get the Job, and Looking Ahead to Marriage . Along with the posters and phamplets each month we are also supplied with occupational briefs or small phamplets which tell us about the opportunities offered in America ' s major job fields; for example, shoe repairman, book store workers, auto salesmen, engineers and many others. In addition, we have had several movies on guidance for the entire student body. We have also established a small library of guidance books and phamplets. Furthermore, we have started a series of student inventory tests to help each student discover for himself whether or not he has any problems in his life adjustment, and if so, what his particular problems might be. Another series of tests, called vocational inventory tests, is given in order to help each student find out the type of jobs in which he is most interested. All of this information about which each student is held confidential and he is able to see a profile of his problems and his interests in a conference with Mr. Halcum. It is our aim to help our students to work out their own problems and to make their own decisions. 39 FRONT ROW: Edith Yates, Carol Mix, J. Johnson. STANDING: C. Foster, J. Jilee, G. Shinneman, B.

Band A small band of sixteen pieces met for the first time in September under the direction of the new music instructor, Mr. Rack. After working hard and preparing a few pieces to be played before the public at the Junior play, we began to make preparation to play at the home basketball games. A marching band was organized and during the basketball season we made letter formations to represent our home school and the visiting schools . Rather than buy regular band uniforms for the year the band members voted that every band member purchase maroon shirts, gray pants and skirts, which would represent our school colors. On December 2nd the band went to Monticello to the annual Piatt County music festival, which was held at the Monticello High School. During the day instrumental instruction was given to everyone, by capable music instructors and preparation was made by the band for a concert which was presented to the public in the evening. A Christmas program was presented at the High School by the music department on December 21st in which the band gave several special, numbers and a few of the band members presented solos. This event was the band ' s main event of the year and required a considerable amount of work. The band entered in the annual district music contest which was held in Paxton, Illinois in April. We, as the band members enjoyed very much our profitable season under the capable instruction of Mr. Rack. 41 DeLand- Weldon Eagles FIRST ROW : SECOND ROW: THIRD ROW: FOURTH ROW: FIFTH ROW: GIRLS’ CHORUS B.

Girls Chorus A girls chorus group consisting of twenty-eight voices started on its way to fun and work in September under the direction of Mr. Rack. In December several members of this class went as representatives from our High School to the annual Piatt County Music Festival in Monticello, where they sang in a large girls choral group. They also took part by presenting several very good choral arrangements at the Christmas Concert held in our High School in December. Two members of this group presented solos as part of the program for the concert and took solo parts in some of the arrangements. The group sang in the District contest on April 1st and several members of this group were chosen to sing in the girls’ ensemble and some sang in the mixed ensemble.

There were eleven boys and nineteen girls. This group sang four part songs and presented several numbers in song at the Christmas concert, in our High School, which was presented by the entire music department in December. This group sent several of its members to represent our High School in Monticello to the Piatt County Music Festival. Several numbers were practiced during the day and were presented at the public preformance given in the evening. On April 1st several of the club’s members went to sing at the Music contest in Paxton, Illinois. We believe the most enjoyed part of the year was the Christmas Concert which we all worked hard to make the success that it was. FIRST ROW: SECOND ROW THIRD ROW: FOURTH ROW J . Sprague , D.

The group was led by Mr. Rack and Gretchen Shinneman was our accorapaniast We started out with the intention of enjoying ourselves and learning to use our voices better. We all found out that we had a lot of fun but had to work hard most of the time. We sang four part choral arrangements and one particular occasion we used them to entertain at our Christmas Concert, which was presented by our Music Department in December. Several of our members sang in the large boys ' cnorus at the Annual Piatt County Music Festival in Monticello. A few of our members sang with the mixed ensemble which went to the District music contest on April 1. We, as a group, enjoyed our profitable year in this organization. 43 September 6— School Starts Oh!
