DeLand Weldon High School - Eagle Spotlight Yearbook (Weldon, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 82 of the 1951 volume:

1951 SPOTLIGHT FACULTY SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES ACTIVITIES ORGANIZATIONS Our country has the most efficient and complete system of free education of any nation in the world. This is a privilege to be appreciated by the American people, especially our youth, but at the same time it places us under a great responsibility. We are challenged to keep our educational system free to all and to maintain high standards of Democratic principles in all school activities. It is our sincere desire that all the youth of the DeLand-Weldon Unit Schools will make the most of their opportunities in school, thereby preparing themselves to serve successfully their communities, the State and the Nation. ERNEST DICKEY i It is my most sincere hope that the � 5l Spotlight will serve to re- mind you in the years to come of the days so enjoyably and profitably spent at DeLand-Weldon Senior High. Our faculty and custodians join with me in wishing that our efforts to pass on to you the advantages of an education have not been in vain and that you will become better citizens because of our guidance. R. R. WILSON TVc dedicate As a finale to our high school career we Seniors unanimously agreed that this 51 Spotlight is to be dedicated to those people who have come to regard our school as a very important factor in their lives, to all those for whom our school holds special meaning, and to our many friends who will read 3 enjoy this book.

First, to the board of education and members of the community who have made our school what it is today, we give our thanks for having the privilege of graduating from such a school. To the faculty we will our utmost appreciation for the help they have given us, that we might reach the goal toward which we have been struggling for four long years. We give to the Sophomores for next year some of the Senior dignity, enthusiasm and intelligence. The following we give to the Juniors: I, Janice Jiles, will my blonde hair to Donald Hiter and my love for shorthand back to Mr. Clapper. I, Gertrude Massey, will my shortness to Evert Keur and my red hair to Joe Sprague and may they take good care of my hair. I, Ronald Edwards, will Donna to Jim Smith and my interest??? in English class to Margaret Radley. I, Gretchen Shinneman, will the west end of the hall to Marilyn Twist for the purpose of catching a man. I, Edith Yates, will a tall, handsome, curly-headed boy to Sheredith McCready and may she take the best of care of him. I, Phares O ' Daffer, will my ability to sing to Jack Grant and also my nickname ’’Monk. ” I, Christine Foster, will my ability to become engaged to Myrtle Ensign and my P. E. abilities to Arthur Beck. I, Velma Danison, will the front desk in the assembly to Beverly Swartz at noons so she ' ll always have her studies. I, Buddy Clow, will all my girl friends to Harold Allan. I, Colleen Cooper, will my love for G. A. A. to Terry Glynn. I, Zelma Burton, will my freckles to Norma Barton. I, Carol Mix, will my singing ability to Jack Carr and also my curly hair. I, Sheila Burton, will my beauty to Wayne Clifton. I, Robert Kirkland, will my nickname to Joanne Schroeder and my musical ability to Charlie Baker. I, John Sparks, will the memory of his watch to Thelma Yates and my knowledge of Fords to Beverly Shaw. I, Max Parrish, will (Speed) to Betty Rule and my beautiful wave to Richard Lubbers. I, Jack Schroeder, will my Plymouth to June Franklin, so that she may visit Dick; and all my romantic abilities to Veda Parrish. Therefore we declare this our last will and testament, made on the fourth day of May in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Fifty -One. Signed ’’Harvey” 44 ! % xft6eccf Ten years have passed since we last saw the graduating class of 51 from D-W Senior High. Our world has progressed greatly, scientifically. In this year of 61 we are sight seeing through a rocket ship plant. Who should we meet but Ronnie Edwards, who was interested in science in school. He informs us that his new rocket is completed, Ron- nie designed it and will go on it ' s first trip. He asks us along saying that it$ hard to tell where we ' ll go or who we ' ll see. We are hesitant as we ' ve never ridden in a roc- ket before although they are quite common now. We finally consent to go. As we get into the rocket ship who should we meet but the former Gretchen Shinneman, who is our stewardess. With Max Parrish her husband, the pilot of the ship who has just bought the rocket for interplanetary service. As we are leaving the earth ' s surface we sight a dairy farm. Our informer tells us it is the home of the former Gertrude Massey, now Mrs. Rodger Briggs, who has 3 red- headed children. The first planet we reach is Mars. Sheila Burton is now married to Eudean Nor- fleet and they own a string of grain elevators which supply neighboring planets with grain. We take off Mars in the direction of Pluto. As we land on Pluto we find we are near a large building. We inspect it and find that it is a huge modern school. Guess who the good-looking math teacher is? Yes, its Phares O ' Daffer. If you need an in- terpreter see Buddy Clow, Buddy did so well in Spanish at Senior High he decided to work as interpreter for tourists from other planets who tour the school. Incidentally, Phares and Buddy are still bachelors. From here we go to Mercury, as the air there is rather dry we decide to have a coke. We stop at a drive inn and who should be our waitress but Velma Danison. As we order cokes Velma informs us that our old friend Colleen Cooper now owns a hugh coke factory. John Sparks is the general manager of the plant and the way it looks he would like to be manager of more than the factory. We decide to end our trip by stopping at the beautiful planet Venus for a basket- ball game and some dancing. The star of the basketball team, The Planeters, is Dale Meyers who has a very enthusiastic fan, his wife, Christine Foster, who is for- merly of DeLand. After the game we go to the Starlite. The big feature tonight is Bob Kirkland ' s Orchestra featuring the famous vocalist, Carol Mix. When we return to earth we see an enormous toothpick factory with the neon sign E. and D. Toothpicks. We are told that Edith Yates and Dean Baker are now married and have started a toothpick factory. We then see a popcorn field and factory, the corn is called Zekes Pop Corn. The farm is managed by the former Zelma Burton and her husband Donald Stites. Some of the biggest chicken farms around are stocked by Jack Schroeder ' s hatch- ery which is located two miles East of the Stites Farm. At last we return to the plant, our adventures are taken down by the plant ' s first- rate secretary, Janice Jiles. I wonder if Janice ' s ability of shorthand is what attracts her bosses’ interest? SeKun (ZCcma 0 %i4tvuf The fall of ”47” found thirty -six freshmen entering the halls of higher education. During the year, as most classes do, we lost a few students. But I think all survived the initiation. In the fall of ”48” we lost several students. There were then twenty -one Sopho- mores who finished the year of school, in the new DeLand -Weldon Senior High School. Our Junior year brought with it a lot more activities. The two most important things were: ordering and receiving our class rings and the Junior -Senior Prom. For the prom we chose a Hawaiian theme and decorated with blue and yellow streamers with palm trees setting around among the tables, and around the dance floor. The center piece on each table was a coconut tree with place-cards and plas- tic nut cups and leis as favors. Then comes the last but not unimportant school year. Several of our classmates dropped out and could not become full-fledged Seniors with us. During the first part of this year you heard some remarks as: does my hair look all right, what did you wear, did I look all right? Yes, we were having our Senior pictures taken. Also during this year we sold ads and annuals and ordered our announcements which we all think are very nice. During all four of these years we had classmates active in band, chorus, FFA, FHA, G. A. A. paper staff, and, of course, the annual staff which our whole Senior Class of seventeen members took part in. On May 31 our Senior Class will cease to exist but we will have the memories of a happy four years of school life together. Seated: M. Clapper, C. Foster, P. O’Daffer, G. Massey, B. Clow, C. Cooper.

During the year Alfred Dawson withdrew from school to farm; Suzanne Perry and Billy Conn moved to Clinton. Charlotte Schwebel moved from Marshall at the beginning of the 5th six weeks. Nine of the freshmen were in the Junior High play The More The Merrier. There were 25 Sophomores who received a very thorough initiation by the seniors when we entered the D-W Senior High. Before school started Delores Roberts got married, Harrison Neal moved to Kentucky and Charlotte Schwebel moved back to Marshall. June Franklin came from Argenta at the beginning of the school year and Margaret Radley came from Farmer City at the beginning of the second semester. Now in our Junior year we have 26 students, Joy Bushell quit school and is now married. Some of the big events of this year are: The Junior play Ever Since Eve presented on November 3, and the Junior-Senior Prom May 4, 1951. When next you hear from us we hope to be serious? Seniors. We started our Freshmen year in the Junior High School with thirty -four members. During the year we lost two members. During the second semester we had the Fresh- men tournament, in which we won first place. In March seven of our members took part in a school play Baby Sitter. Our Sophomore year began with thirty -four green members and was reduced to thirty members. Our initation turned out to be more fun than we expected, and we were all glad that we had such nice upperclassmen. We gave a school Holloween party which turned out to be a lot of fun. Many of us belong to G. A. A FHA, FFA and other activities. We are all looking forward to our Junior year at D-W Senior High. ©PH ©MORE 8 First row: Philip Whiteside President Philip Mullvain Vice President Sylvan Franklin Sec. and Treas.

In short, it is based upon the idea that human beings need help. Our guidance is conducted upon an informal basis to help the individual student make wise choices of his own in connection with critical situations in his life. This is done, in general thruogh (1) information that he is helped to secure, (2) interests, habits, attitudes and ideas he is helped to acquire, and (3) counsel, by which direct assistance is given him to make adjustments, choices, and interpretations in connec- tion with school and vocations. One part of guidance is portrayed by a bulletin board at the front of the assembly. There are posters and booklets or statistics placed here that makes the front of the room very interesting, attractive and educational. We also have additional books and pamphlets which are good reference books, as well as occupational outlook hand- books, that help the students make good decisions about future careers. The entire student body enjoyed the following guidance films this year: APTI- TUDES AND OCCUPATIONS, CHOOSING YOUR OCCUPATION, FINDING THE RIGHT JOB, FINDING YOUR LIFE WORK, I WANT A JOB, MINUTES ARE PENNIES, PLACING THE RIGHT MAN ON THE JOB, PLANNING AND LAYING OUT WORK, and YOU AND YOUR WORK. Some of the films told you how to apply for a job, where to go to find help in securing a job, what to do while you are being interviewed and also the fact that each person job is an important part of the whole economics process. A job inventory test and an aptitude test were two tests given to the seniors The second semester each went into Mr. Halcom ' s room individually for a brief, but tho- rough counsel. All records of the tests and other data are confidential material which are used in helping the student to make his own decisions.

This started a three -game winning streak which was stopped by Mahomet. Losses to St. Joseph and Fisher plus a victory over Mansfield concluded the regular schedule during which time the Eagles won eight and lost fourteen. In their last eight games they played much better ball and scorched the nets at a blistering 65 -point -a -game average.

Buddy Clow, Bob Kirkland, Phares O ' Daffer, Max Parrish, Jack Schroeder, Harold Allan, Charles Baker, Arthur Beck, Wayne Clifton, Jack Carr, Jack Grant, Richard Lubbers, James Smith, Joe Sprague and Donald Hiter. The green hands were Ronald Baker, Sylvan Franklin, Fred Gift, Bill Gift, Steve Goodmon, Edward King, James Massey, Phil Mulvain, Bob Norton, James Pearl, Gray Reeser, Joe Tool, Rob Roy Twist and Phil Whiteside. The Officers elected were: President: Phares O ' Daffer. Vice President: Richard Lubbers. Secretary: Jack Carr. Treasurer: James Smith. Reporter: Bud Clow. Sentinel: Harold Allan. The chapter planned the Program of Work for the year and some of the plans to raise money were to collect scrap iron, scrap paper and to sell popcorn at the school functions through and agreement with the G. A. A. A Parent and Son Banquet was planned and a parliamentary procedure contest was to be held in the D-W High School. During 1950-1951 the chapter took out membership in the Piatt C. swine herd improvement association and also began a chain guilt project. This year brought many advancements such as the construction of a FFA scrapbook and the plans fora mailbox name campaign. The chapter meetings were much improved through the use of parliamentary procedure and a much improved system for electing officers was de- vised by Mr. Harper, our advisor. This year has brought improvements, advance- ments and much experience to the members of FFA. We hope the future will bring much more advancement and experience to the FFA members and they will work to make VOC-AGR the stepping stone to becoming the real farmers of America. In the FFA this year we have twenty -nine boys. All of the boys have at least one project. Some have two or more. There are fourteen boys in the Sophomore class. Of the boys with swine projects there are ten. There are three with dairy projects, two with beef projects and one with poultry. In the Junior Class there are four with swine, two with poultry, two with beef cat- tle, three with dairy cattle, two with soybeans, one with corn and one with oats. In the Senior Class there are four with swine, two with dairy projects, and one with poultry. Third row: E. Yates, P. Swartz, B. Swartz, D. Cozad, C. Foster, S. Lane, Miss Cas- sida. Second row : J.

Meetings were held twice a month with basketball as the main activity and volleyball as a minor activity. Attendance at these meetings, as well as turning in the health activity cards, helped to gain the points needed (500) for the awards. About 8 members will receive their first year awards which is a grey DeLand -Weldon Senior High School G. A. A. on a maroon felt oval. About 10 members will receive second year awards of maroon and grey class numerals. Three seniors are trying to get addi- tional points for the third year award which is a state award of a block I in navy blue and white G. A. A. Fifteen hundred points are needed for the third year award. We are selling popcorn with the FFA members to gain money to buy our awards. A slumber party is being planned for the spring.
