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

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1953 volume:

We, the Senior Class of DeLand -Weldon Senior High School in the year 1953, do hereby dedicate this SPOTLIGHT to Mr. Arthur Glad. To us you represent honesty, willingness and capability, which are all nec- essary for a good coach and teacher. Through your coaching and teach- ing, we have learned that the main issue is not the victory, but the fight; the essentials are not to have won but to have fought well. We only hope that each of us may take from D.W.S.H.S. enough of your principles to keep us fair in our judgments of all opponents, determined to win, courageous against defeat and ever diligent in opposition or odds. SufaeiutteKeCeat ' d 7%e t44fe £ • WpY-. ■ . fr. • ' The home, the church and the school are the three institutions which influence our lives most. It is a tradition of our United States that each of these institutions shall carry on its function in society with the least possible interference from the State. Let each one of us accept our full responsi- bility for the protection of this long-cherished freedom of our democratic way of life. With our increased population the demand for more schools and good teachers is very great. Let us do what we can to encourage more young people to enter the teaching profession. - Life returns to you what you pour into it. As you look to the future with great expectations, you need to think in the present. What returns do I want from life? How much am I willing to pay for what I want? Is it worth the price I will have to pay? Once you have decided these great questions, each for yourself, pour into life the right products and you will be sure of the right returns. It is my sincere hope that the years spent in the DeLand -Weldon Senior High School have helped you in arriv- ing at a right and worthwhile answer to these questions, and that the answer will be a credit to you, your family, your community, and your school.

In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal to this our Will, this eighth day of January, 1953. Senior Class of DeLand -Weldon Senior High Beginning our sophomore year, we entered DeLand -Weldon Senior High with 31 members. During the year, we lost Herbert Burton, who enlisted in the Navy; Joe Tool, who moved to Rantoul; Edward King, who moved to Mt. Pulaski; Marie Watkins, who moved to Clinton; and Janet Lashbrook, who dropped out of school. Evelyn Hoops, who came from Clinton, joined our class in the spring of 51. We also lost Doris Ann Webb, who moved to Rock Island at the end of our sophomore year. Starting our junior year, we had 26 members in our class. This was a big year for us as we ordered our class rings and planned the Junior-Senior Prom. During the year, we lost two members: Bob Norton, who joined the Navy; and Agnes Wilson, who moved to Normal. At the end of our junior year, we lost Margaret Gantz, who is attending school at Monticello College in Godfrey, Illinois. With great enthusiasm, we entered our senior year. We gained one new member, Bill Swanstrom, who came from Ellsworth. The highlights of the year were ordering pictures and and invitations, and working on our annual. Our final event is graduation. Then we ' ll pause to think of all the joy our class has gone through together and all we have to look forward to. @Ccte4 ‘P ' tafiJtecy In the year of our Lord 1963, our boat slowly sinks into the west. As we approach the island of Lula, we find Mrs. Kioua, the former Sharon Sparks, doing the Hawaiian hula, accompanied on the ukelele by Mrs. Maiki, the former Barbara Kallembach. Across the island there is a new scientific laboratory equipped with the latest of everything. Here we discover the eminent bacteriologist, Marilyn Massey, with her assistant Jim Pearl, M.D. Dr. Pearl is wearing Mari- lyn’s dark -rimmed D-W Sr. High glasses. Marilyn has replaced them with a new pair of bi- focals. We sail across the lagoon to Honolulu. Here Jackie Benge is running a pineapple plantation, and her head pineapple thumper is Gray Reeser. She says he can really tell when the pine- apples are ripe. Every day she and her chauffeur, James Massey, motor into the city in her 250 horsepower Lafayette. As we leave the plantation and go into the city, a bright flash suddenly blinds us. After recov- ering our sight, we find Evelyn Hoops standing in front of us. sporting a huge diamond ring. She and her husband, Harold Allen, run a very prosperous dog kennel. They raise the breed for which Mr. Allen is noted - S loose -hounds”. Evelyn tells us she has just employed a new kennel sweeper, Rob Roy Twist. We then go into the swanky club Lei and find Joanne Webb, Patsy Swartz and Shirley Lane doing the grass skirt wiggle. Shirley ' s husband is now stationed in the Hawaiian Islands. These girls tell us that Delores Monkman has a lot of dates, while Eileen Followell has figs. Don ' t get the wrong idea now - Delores is running a date farm and Eileen is running a fig farm. Their businesses are very profitable. As we continue on, we meet Steve Goodmon. He offers to take us back to the United States in his private yacht. By working in the designing department of General Motors, he is making a lot of dough. Our boat lands at San Francisco. As we travel from San Francisco to Beverly Hills, we discover that the bachelor Phil Mullvain lives here. They tell us that all he does is sit on the porch, twiddle his thumbs and think of his oil wells in Southern California. By means of the Super Chief, we travel to Chicago. We discover that our engineer is Sylvan Franklin. He is really president of the railroad, but is out on the trial run of a new turbo-jet engine. On our tour of Chicago, we find Roger Perkins entertaining the monkeys of Brookfield Zoo. Roger tells us that Fred Gift is a bouncer in the Chezparee . On the last stretch of our journey, we travel on to the old home town. Here we find Mr. and Mrs. Glynn running a prosperous duck farm. She is the former Jan Ruby. They tell us that Bill Swanstrom and Phil Whiteside are partners in Registered Berk and Duroc farm, east of Weldon. In Weldon, Ronnie Baker and his wife now have full ownership of the hardware store. We now motor over to the old Senior High, at DeLand. Here they are still honored with the presence of an old 1953 senior, none other than Bill Gift. He is the head janitor, taking the place of John. Well, it looks like the D-W Senior Class of ' 53 has become a howling success in the last 10 years. We hope they will keep up the good work.

SPRAGUE At the beginning of our sophomore year, we had thirty-four class mem- bers. We were received by the Senior High with a hearty welcome - U the initiation. We returned their welcome by giving an all -school Hal- loween party. In November, a new sophomore, Keith Barnes, moved to Weldon from Iowa. When we returned to school as juniors, we were a class of thirty-four students. Over the summer vacation, we lost two members, Keith Barnes who moved away, and Junior Eastham who dropped out. Bar- bara Nichols, who came from Monticello, moved to DeLand to join our class at the beginning of the school year. Class officers this year are: President, Bob Sprague; Vice-president, Andy Burgess; Secretary, Anne Reeser; and Treasurer, Wilma Rule. Our play, entitled The Mad Hatters was presented November 7. Here’s to a successful Junior -Senior Prom and Banquet on May 8. The DeLand -Weldon Junior High School was honored with forty -eight new students in the fall of ’49. Three enjoyable years were spent in the Junior High with the exception of the occurrence of an automobile accident, which took the life of a classmate, Keith Franklin. Nine other students either moved away or dropped school. Thirty-three sophomores found themselves in the midst of juniors and seniors in the Senior High School this year. Two of these sophomores, Steve Swanstrom and Eugene Spellbring, were new to the students as well as to the school. Class officers are: President, Steve Swanstrom; Vice-president, Jack Goodmon; and Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Wea- ver. We thanked the seniors for the fine” initiation with a Halloween party. We, the sophomores of DeLand -Weldon Senior High School are well on our way in preparing ourselves for our junior and senior years which lie ahead of us.

The DeLand-Weldon Chapter of Future Fanners of America began the year with thirty-two members, eighteen of which were chapter farmers and four- teen of which were green hands. Stewart Allan, Ronnie Baker, Darmon Clif- ton, Fred Gift, Bill Gift, Steve Goodmon, James Massey, Sylvan Franklin, Phil Mullvain, James Norton, Jim Pearl, Gray Reeser, Dewey Roberts, Bob Sprague, Steve Swanstrom, Bob Stone, Rob Roy Twist and Phil Whiteside were the chapter farmers. The green hands were Ronnie Clow, Jack Goodmon, Jim Jordan, Jack Knisley, Philip Lisenby, George Massey, Dallas Shaw, Dean Smith, Eugene Spellbring, Bill Swanstrom, Donald Fugate, Max Swartz, Carl Tudor and Wayne Utterback. Officers elected were Phil Whiteside, President; Steve Goodmon, Vice-presi- dent; Phil Mullvain, Secretary; Rob Roy Twist, Treasurer; Bob Sprague, Reporter; and Bill Gift, Sentinel. Plans for making money for the year included selling popcorn at the basketball games, selling pencils with the basketball schedules printed on them and giv- ing the chain gilt to Bob Sprague. A steam cleaner was purchased by the F. F. A. for the purpose of cleaning tractors, hog houses and other equipment. Not very much work has been done with the steam cleaner as of yet because the cleaner w U not work properly in cold weather. The work that has been done has been done very successfully. We have part of the steam cleaner paid for due to the large crowds that we had at the ball games where the F. F. A. did very well on the popcorn sales. The F. F. A. is making more money this year on popcorn as they are doing all the work and don ' t have to divide half of the income with the G. A. A. Plans are being made to send a parliamentary procedure team to Niantic where the contest will be held on February 11. The past two years the contest was held at the DeLand-Weldon Senior High. Five members went to Argenta as they were entered in a soil -judging contest and they placed fifth. This was the first contest of this type that we have entered. We hope the classes in the future will gain as much advancement and exper- ience as this year ' s class has under the leadership of our advisor, Mr. Harper. tyixta ' ?4t6£et6c rfteociati H The G. A. A. has forty members this year who are: President, Bar bara Kallembach; Vice-president, Wilma Rule; and Secretary-Treasurer, Norma June Morfey. We meet once a month for activities. At our meetings, we play bas- ketball, volleyball, softball and archery. To earn money for our awards, we planned a carnival in March and a bakery sale. One of the highlights of the year was our Christmas chili supper. ‘TftetPt eiA First row: S. Sparks, Morfey, Mrs. Swanstrom, Kallembach, Rule, Benge. Second row: E. Svestka, D.
