Mr. Smith has just returned from a year's leave of absence in Turkey and we are very happy to have him back. It is with deep and sincere gratitide that we say, Thank You. sv' IIIIIIIH il Energy is a powerful quantity. Unable to be destroyed, as shown by the furious scrambling in our halls, it transfers from activity to activity providing pleasant memories. In future years we shall be touched deeply by the remembrance of energetic days in school ----- our academic record, our extracurricular activities, and our social functions. These memories will live forever in our minds. The students of the present shall also be able to share in these wonderful recollections if they will use but one quantity, energy. f-'I , ww 1 L .

Secretarial Practice and Personal Typing duaies Throughout the four-year cycle of a high school career, energy brings unhappiness along with happiness. But as the cycle grows to a close, all of the unhappiness is forgotten. Our exhuberant energy produces many happy events, culminating inthe happiest event of all ------ graduation. Energy expended throughout the four years produces the proud smile and warm beam of happiness on the senior's face. After the ritual of the graduation ceremony, the cycle starts over again, growing to a peak every fourth year. 9 l MQM Ewa?

The students never seem to run out of it as they present plays and work hard in the various clubs. This energy they use not only gives them a feeling of satisfaction, but also offers many fond remembrances. 0550 if X X N V, OBGANIZATIONS ACTXIVITI E S EN l 1958 Coronaiian A giant Buddha cast an oriental spell over the loyal subjects who came to view the coronation of the thirty-first queen of the Harvest. The royal court waited with great anticipation the entrance of the new queen and gave a rousing ovation as the royal minister summoned to the throne lovely Karen Wilson. Her Majesty, Karen, bowed to her subjects as she graciously took her throne, behind which was a huge Japanese fan placed in an artistic oriental setting, The Wood Cats played sentimental tunes for the Queen and her maids, and the choral ensembles sang to the delight of the entire court. Twelve royal dancers performed a Corps de Ballet and a Pas de Trois. ' Following the ceremony, the Queen and her maids received the loyal subjects of the Harvest Court.

Majorelies The Marching Band of our high school was led this year by six eye-catching Majorettes. These Majorettes, wearing maroon coats, short, white pleated skirts, and maroon and gold top hats, performed during half-time at all our home football games. Wearing white shorts, white coats trimmed in maroon, and gold top hats, they also led our band in several parades including the Band guest day at Southern Illinois University. For these parades they wear their uniforms. The Majorettes are chosen from the band, Practice Makes Perfect Members of the Concert Band are hard at work in preparation for their annual Spring Concert. As guest of the high school band,the Wood River- Hartford grade school band will present several selec- tions. The grade school portion of the program will feature a flute solo by Debbie Hughes and a cornet solo by Lyndon Hammon. The high school band will present such selections as Busman's Holiday by Osterlingg Portrait of the Land by Quinny and Variations on a Folk Song by Schamman. A trombone trio, featuring Ned Coulson, Darrell Waters, and Dick Worthen will play Holiday for Trombones by David Rose. A special added attraction for the evening will be the appearance of the Latin American rhythm ensemble from Colidge Junior High School of Granite City. Always alert! Someone's not playing Kay Big Sisier's Dance The Club Top Hat opened on November 29, 1958 in the girls' gym. Club Top Hat was the theme of this year's Big Sister's Formal Dance, As over one hundred couples entered the girls' gym, they were entranced by the almost unbelievably gay and scenic night club atmosphere. Couples were dancing to the dreamy music of Jim Adcock's band, At 10:30 the guests passed through the receiving line and were presented to Miss Buscher, the sponsor, and the various chairmen of the dance. Refreshments were then served. Dancing then continued until the magic hour of 11:15 when the Grand March began. This was certainly a perfect ending to a perfect evening. At 11:30 the Club Top Hat closed and, the Big Sister's ended another successful dance until next year. The aftermath of Christmas descended on the East Alton-Wood River Community High School in the form of bow day. This year the traditional bow was worn on February 13th. The yearly event is sponsored by the Big Sisters with the purpose of raising funds for various activities and charities that they sponsor. The charity receiving the money is decided upon by the members and the remain- ing amount goes to various activities repre- sented by the Big Sisters. Each Big Sister is required to sell one dozen bows. The prices range from five cents to one dollar, with the bows being displayed on gaily decorated hearts. There were many diffe- rent colors of bows--each cluster of ribbon having a different meaning which was explained by posters hanging in the halls. ... , ... ...- . . , , 1 sg k BACK ROW: Karen Wilson, Carolyn Pinkerton, Janet Hamilton Faye Ann Pees, Vera Leavell, Becky Skundrich, Betty Meyers Susan Hale, Kay Fiegenbaum.

They hold their meetings every other Monday where they learn what goes on behind the well rehearsed scenes ofthe successful play, They learn about applying make-up, using props, drawing and building scenery, making costumes and lighting techniques, During the year they present several one-act plays of their own in addition to helping the Thesplans with most of theirs.

Jack Chesney, violently in love with Kitty Verdun, and Charles, equally enamoured of Miss Spettiguc, invited the young ladies to their rooms for luncheon--in order to meet Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil. But, the millionaire svnds word that she will have to defer her visit for a few days, What is to be done? The dear young thing must not be compromised but neither will the youths give up the opportunity of declaring their love. The problem is solved by forcing another Oxford undergrad- uate into a black satin skirt, a pair of mitts, an old-fashioned cap and wig. As Charley's Aunt then, this old frump is introduced to the sweetheart, to Jack's father, and to Stephen Spettigue. The Sweethearts hug and kiss Charleyls aunt: the two mon included. Then the real aunt turns up, assumes another name. In the chronic confusion which results, young Lord Balbuleygposing as the aunt, tricks Stephen Spettigue into agreeing to the marriage of his ward to Charley, the real aunt marries Jack's father, Jack gets Miss Verdun, and Charley's Aunt regains the fortune he lost at gambling and obtains the hand of the girl he loves.

The Faculty Service Club Play Those wonderful faculty members! They did it again! For the third year the Faculty Service Club of the East Alton Wood River Community High School staged a full three act play for the purpose of raising money in order that the Harry H. Smith Scholarship could be awarded to a deserving student from our school. This club is the only organization of its kind which produces such a play for that purpose. The performance of this year was A Visit To A Small Planet by Gore Vidal. The comedy was presented on two nights, February 10 and 12, at 8:00 P. M. in the auditorium for the first time in this area. Theplay,whichran for eleven months on Broadway, was an uninhibited satire on the United States way of life. Kreton, a visitor from outer space, landed his space saucer in the yard of Roger Spelding, a Virginian Television News Comentator, expecting to see the Civil War. Kreton came from the fourth demension and therefore was able to go back into time, however, he made a mistake and landed a century too late. So that he wouldn't be disappointed, he attempted to manage the Earth people, his hobby, so that another World War would be launched. He came from a civilization where there were no problems. Every- thing had been perfected. His adjustment from that situation was amusing, as he attempted to understand the institutions and customs of the United States. Our Faculty Service Club members made an excellent cast with the help of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. Mr. Wiley was the director and Mr. Claridge had the major role supported by Messers Samples, Gould, Brubaker, Sheahan, Grohovsky, Cozad and Scharf. Miss Fleming had the leading female role supported by Miss Vera Jones, and Miss Mildred Smith. 'Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, Mr, Wiley's siamese cat, had the role of Rosemary, The Club's goal was to raise enough money to award two scholarships this year. This highlight of the school year leaves us anticipating with expectation for another evening of good entertainment next year. Don't mug the camera, Roy! An unidentified flylng object, exactly what it looks like. dh Tickety Boo! Hit him harder! shouts Mr. Claridge. That's the way Miss Fleming, you break them up. Oh Rosemary!

J.V. Basketball The Junior-Varsity Oilers, led by: Ron Wilkinson, centerg Gordon Hill and Wesley Tucker, forwardsg and Larry Feezel and Richard Baker, guards, had the best record in many years with 13 wins and 3 losses, for a percentage of .813. Leading scorers were Gordon Hill and Wesley Tucker. The J-V scored 1074 points to their opponents 873 outscoring them by 201 points. Hard fought losses went to Alton, Collinsville, and Granite City. From the looks of this year, the Oilers should be very strong next year because of the fine support the Sophomores have and will continue to give to the team. 119 120 Track During the '58 track and field season, the Oilers were led by these outstanding members: Ed Berkemeir, discus: Bill Brown, pole vaultg and the shuttle hurdle relay team which placed second in the Conference Relays. Wood River did very well in the Southwestern Conference Decathlon, while entering only two boys, Bill Brown who placed second and Irv Inskip who placed eighth. They managed to compile 8208 points to take third place in team scores. In the Southwestern Conference track meet Brown broke the Conference record of 12'-4 by vaulting 12'-5 1!2 and thereby breaking our school record, held by Bill Perrin since 1950. Brown also represented the Oilers at State for the second straight year and placed seventh in the State finals. Our track team will lose only one senior and will have eleven returning lettermen which will give us more power in the senior division next year. Hanner, Brown, Inskip, and Webb fight it outfor first.

'58 Brings Good Tennis Team After tedious workouts, Coach Gould's 1958 Oiler netmen led by Captain-Manager, Gary Ballard, began a well-rounded season of thirteen matches, Our Oilers played an excitingly close match against Collinsville winning both sets of doubles but losing the three sets of singles. The first string consisted of Tom Burk, first singlesg Gary Lane and Bill Roose, first doublesg Randy Kienstra and Guy Johnson, second doublesg and David Williams served as an alternate. Having begun fall practice, Coach Gould is looking forwardtoapromising season, 122 FIRST ROW: Tom Burk, Gary Ballard, Randy Kienstra, Bill Roose, and Gary Lane. SECOND ROW: Guy Johnson, Stacey Hegeman, Jerry Arnold, Coach Gould. Harris crouches low and waits for the pitch. Affsprung pegs to Bryant to try for the double play, Rider letting go of a sink- ing curve ball, Baseball Wood River's sizzling baseball squad gave a very fine performance during the 1958 season promising conference leadership in further years. The Oiler squad was composed of only four senior lettermen, but came out of the season with a fine record, winning seven and losing five. The Oilers won two games in the Madison County Tournament before they were dunked by Madison 9-5. In the District Tourney, Wood River had a fine start giving up two hits and one run for a 3-1 victory over the strong Collinsville nine. The second game was taken by Granite City, Ed Beckwith, Gordie Hill, and Frank Schmieder combined to beat Western Military in a one-hitter for a 9-3 victory, Schmieder also pitched a one-hitter on another occasion against the Cadets. Beckwith turned inthe only no-hit game of the season defeating the Civic Memorial Eagles 3-0. 123 124 Wood River 59 66 75 73 79 62 63 71 65 73 84 58 58 63 64 59 62 63 57 59 Opponent Bethalto Jacksonville Belleville Herrin Edwardsville Alton Carbondale East St. Louis Granite City Collinsville Peoria Manual Roxana Quincy Edwardsville Alton East St. Louis Granite City Collinsville Belleville Mattoon Scoreboard Football Wood River Opponent 19 Bethalto 7 Edwardsville FORFEIT by BELLEVILLE 0 Alton 0 Granite City 7 Roxana 7 Collinsville 14 Jerseyville 0 East St. Louis Varsity Basketball 56 47 68 86 68 68 50 46 57 49 63 64 57 N 50 69 68 71 58 L, 53 53 Wood River Opponent 24 Roxana 28 34 Belleville 14 12 Granite City 33 14 Vandalia 29 21 Belleville 26 15 Granite City 25 26 Edwardsville 21 35 Greenville 25 25 Roxana 19 45 Greenville 13 12 Edwardsville 26 22 Quincy 20 35 IBSSS 5 Wrestling 6 20 34 6 6 19 19 33 Dffice Workers Office Assistants Mr, Allen, Mrs, Byrant, and Mrs, Long, Mary Bracken, Joyce Wagemann, Myra Smithson, Marsha Sitze, Gweneth Dilliard, Myrna Ritter, Donna Ireland, Sharon Madison, and Connie Buckner, 125 126 if TW' .
