As papooses we shake in our war paint with fear of him. As braves we recognize him as our leader, but still dread a summons to his wigwam. As warriors we strive to please him and earn honors for him and for our tribe. We learn that it is not always a bad omen to be called to his wigwam, but realize that from such a conference we may learn many words of wisdom. As chiefs only, can we fully realize how great is his ability, how patient are his ways. We learn of the vein of subtle humor which breaks through his stately manner. We know of his generosity, of his willingness to help us. Every tribe has had its chief. Some were kind, some severe some brave, some brutal. But our chief combines all the good points of great chiefs and many new ones of his own. Now let the drum beat and the smoke signals tell this to all: We the Red Raiders of East Peoria High, dedi- cate our rst yearbook, the EPoCH, to Sachem Moore. xr H , Wi. , Az., ll NAVAVAYAVAVAVAVAW LAVAVAVAVAVAWWVM 'choreworcln For many, many moons the early tribes of Red Raiders roamed without a written record. After many council fires and much perseverance, the tribe of 1942 has produced the EPOCH, the first of many yearbooks that we hope will follow. We have portrayed the Council of the Elders, the Ceremo- nials, the Red Raiders donning their War paint, ready fcr daring action. We have tried to show you how the papooses became braves, and they in turn, Warriors, and finally chiefs. As the years go by We trust the EPOCH will so increase in value that no Wampum can buy it. We hope all Red Raiders will cherish this book until they go to the Happy Hunting Groundf' Tribes A Even to this day be wears it, Wears the tuft of crimson feathers, As a symbol of his tribesmenf' Y. ,.,. -1-X, fx The Principal THE GREATSACHEM BYRON R. Moolus The Board of Education THE COUNCIL OF WISE MEN Left to right: Mr. Ray Swiger Mr. Frank Morgan Mr. Ansel Jones, President Mr. E. C. Blonts, Secretary Mr. Harold Schmidt THE FACULTY The Council Mrs. Reen Mr. Fritz Miss Thornton I, l ....g.. f the Elders Come with us and take a stroll through our Wigwam. We'll introduce you to all the Wise members of the mighty Council of Elders. First We'll stop and inspect the official tepee. As all living things are huilt ahout Some liue ana' pulsing Center, So is the offiee of our sehool lVhieh you View as you leave or enter. Its worthy foree is capable And able in its task, It can answer any questions Which bewildered freshmen ask. One of the fnen whom you're sure to see As you enter this eentral spot, Is the assistant principal, Mr. Fritz, Who knows if yon've gypped or not. Mrs. Reen types letters ana' records Anal sends out every grade, To notify the parents lust what their children made. Iune, you'll see at the trading post, The hookrooin way down stairs She sells us hooks and pencils And erasers to lnake repairs. 1 What's that you said? Who is re- sponsible for the teaching of the mighty sign language? Oh yes - petite Miss Wigoda takes the papooses and braves in hand. You thought Miss Palmer taught English? She does, but she also helps the students fathom Latin, alta? And here is someone else. You see - The other freshman English teacher Was called hy Uncle Sain And now instead of Yes, sirf' The students say, Yes, 1na1n. Mr. Seheicleelaer, we all miss And' will look for hiin after while Although' his place is capahly filled By his wife and her welcome smile. Miss Wigoda Mr. Scheidecker Miss Palmer Miss Schroeder Mrs. Harris Scheidecker . En glehorn Mr. Knecht B Miss Schroeder there, is partial to braves and American authors. Now then - whatis that QU laughter com- ing from tepee 302? One of the typi- cal students of Mrs. Harris giving an informative dissertation on a favorite 'topic - Womens Hatsf, If this weren't a free country lid - Now, if you had come at another time, you might have viewed her senior English or journalism class -- she directs plays, too. RL Step right in here, please. Mr. King and Mr. DuBois, our authorities on how x equals two, not to mention simple math, or the more complicated study of geometry. Yes, Mr. King, I don't question it at all - some form of math is used in every occupation. And now, let's get down to busi- ness. Just look at that busy Brave typing class! They never U1 watch their flying Dj fingers, do they? One thing sure, they learn to think for themselves, don't they, Miss Winchell? Mr. DuBois .M Mr. King , XXV Miss Winchell f Miss Murray Mr. Bucher r 1 iifx' Woops, one weary Brave has just start- ed his letter over for the third time - we'd better move on - now under- stand that doesn't happen very often, no sir. In the afternoon you'll see white sheets instead of yellow in the flying finger machines, Miss Murray will be instructing second year typing. Come into this other room. Let's see what sheis doing now. Yes, it does look like hen scratching but it isn't. Under in 54.11 - -' i Lf3f fZ'fX! her guidance they take down as many as 120 words per sixty seconds - Ugh! Too fast for this Indian! Mr. Bucher teaches the art of how to keep track of those troublesome figures - balance, credit, etc. He also excels in the study of bartering - business training, some call it. By the way, have you that house built yet, Mr. Bucher? Yes, our commercial department is one of the best. Hello Ben - ahem, Mr. Propeck, your hair is darker than it used to be, isnlt it? What are those weird sounds coming from your class - rotation, revolution? Oh, you call it science? I see. My nose is twitching, is yours? Let's trace that quaint odor. Gets Worse, doesn't it? Mr. Smith, youlll have to give this poor visitor a glass of HZO. These fumes of sulphur were too much. Better now? Living as we do, we Indians must know all about nature, and, Miss Bevis, will you answer a question that's been bothering the ubugology students? You say a worm has five pairs of hearts? Well, what under the earth happens when he falls in love? ' Just a moment, Miss Memler, where are you going so fast? Forty mile speed limit, you know. Was it to see about QM Mr. Propeck Mr. Smith Miss Bevis ff , in a date on the calendar of the student council dance, or data for the EPOCHP Oh, both! Now that's a counselor who is really busy. She teaches a most in- teresting class in U. S. History, Civics, and Economics, too. lt's a widely known aim of her pupils to get off of the sub- -11- low s by ,lvl i ject onto current events, but Whether We realize it or not, we cover the same material in our text anyway. And now who is this standing by the flap of her tepee greeting you with her gracious smile? The neat, pretty Miss Leavitt. Yes, she teaches World History and Community Civics. Straighten up your shoulders and brush yourself off, We're on our Way to see Miss Freidheim, Dean of Girls. Miss Freidheim teaches the girls how to sew And how to make their clothes, Now this certainly ought to help Ask cz mawied man, he knows. Miss Edds, the keeper of the pan- try, teaches another practical subject, foods. We can testify that the bits of Miss Memler Miss Leavitt Miss Freidheim Miss samples that We glean on the sly are dehnite promises of great future cooks trained by our nutrition specialist. Do you want' to see our famous machine shop? Mr. Daugaard is al- ways as busy as a bee making all the wheels go around. He makes real me- chanics of our boys and do they work and love it? We'll say they do. Mr. Panish? Oh, he isn't teaching Physical Education any more, he's train- ing the boys to keep Ht in order to beat the Japs. There's an assembly go- ...12... ing on this afternoon. And I'l1 wager you'll see Coach Heavy Allison pac- ing back and forth across the stage. He's telling what the Red Raiders in their maroon and gold War paint have accomplished this year on the field of battle. Did I hear something about the lack of cheering at the games? No could be at East Peoria High? This year the Red Raiders have turned over a new leaf and are Work- ing to develop a track and ball team. The reason? Our new coach, Engle- horn, who has as his special interests baseball and fleet-foot running. Hungry? Let's meander over to the candy case. Thereis the daily customer, Mr. Panish Mr. Daugaard ...13.. Mr Allison Mr Peden Mr. Peden, that popular shop teacher. Why, heis looking at the candy and ask- ing for the next dance! How absurd! There are no drum beats here. Good- ness, we're not hep, he wants a tango bar. I'd like for you to talk to Miss Satterlee, the girls, gym teacher, but she's busy refereeing a game right now. She is the friend of all and faithful guardian of all girls' sports. Now here are two new counselors, Miss Bohl, algebra and business training, and Mr. Knecht, math. - both always figurinil The squaws in third hour study hall unanimously elect them col- legiate and desire more of the same. I have to go to bookwam now and help pay for some new books - These fines, Miss Kaner, ought to be abolished! Are you ready as always to help us look Miss Kaner Mr.Valentine Miss Satterlee Miss Bohl up some material for outside reading? Never fail the student,', must be your ITIOUCO. Why are all those braves dashing wildly for their lockers? Oh, I know, Mr. Valentine, director of chorus and band has kept them overtime again. Maybe this extra time is the reason for the excellence of his chorusesg if so, we'll forgive him. You are probably tired now after your trip all over our wigwam, so re- lax, find our cafeteria and enjoy a good meal for now you've m6t all of the Council of the Elders. We hope you have enjoyed meeting them as well QPJ as we enjoy their counsel, and their lessons. Truly counselors, we hope that we all make good to please you. ALLISON, CLARENCE E.

James Mathews Miss Bevis Advisers , . ,,,.. . . . . ...,. i Mr. DuBois The campsite was beautiful as the tribe of forty-two came as papooses in the fall of thirty-eight. This tribe had roamed separately for many moons. These sturdy Indians immediately began to find new friends. To celebrate their entrance into the tribe of Red Raiders, a big war dance was planned and was called a little kids' party. This celebration called all mem- bers from their tepees on a very rainy night. The Council of Wisemen worried about some of the papooses, but all of their canoes stood the rain and wind of the thunder god. The tribe of forty-two became stal- wart braves in the fall of thirty-nine. Soon these light-footed braves met at the East' Peoria Wigwam for a Hobo Partyf, Just' a few of the braves had enough cour- age to come dressed in the prevailing style of this festivity. On and on the tribe of forty-two de- veloped and at length became first-class warriors. A play, Polishing Papa, was produced to earn Wampum so that the warriors could have some powwows dur- ing the following season. Soon the braves donned their war paint for a patriotic party where dancing was the chief amuse- ment. Between powwows and earning of Wampum, the tribe chose a ring as an in- signia of unity. Many of the braves ob- tained their insignias. These allow them to recognize all members of the tribe of Red Raiders, as Well as these of forty-two. Onward moved the season and on a moonlight night the braves donned their formal moccasins and gala ceremonials to hold the first Junior Prom away from the big Wigwam. Never before had such a bronzed-skinned group of braves and I Mrs. Harris princesses met to have a War dance at the Inglaterra Ballroom in Peoria. . Many of the braves were positive they would have to call the medicine men when they discovered that the princesses had planned a spring picnic. The school busses carried the braves over the trails, through the rain to Detweiler Park where smoke signals were coming from every camp fire. The tribe of forty-one gave the Senior Hop to which the worthy tribe of forty- two was invited. Each of the braves took his favorite maiden to this May dance. Indian summer and the tribe of forty- two arrived at its last hunting season with many festivities and council of wars to be held in one short term. The social season opened with the juniors and seniors com- ing to a powwow to celebrate Christmas. Again the tribe of forty-two needed Wampum, so the play, The Skull, was produced. This mystery called all the friends of the tribe to the East Peoria Wigwam for some mystifying experiences. As fully pledged chiefs, the seniors attended their last Red Raider Junior Prom and Senior Hop. The final gatherings were the Baccalaureate Service and Gradu- ation, at which all conquering chiefs re- ceived final awards and honors. The tribe of forty-two has completed the journey from papoose to chief and has weathered the storms sent by the gcd of thunder, the rain god, and the great fire bird. Now in the light of the dying camp fire, whose every ember reminds us of the powwows and councils we had at E. P. C. H. S. we know that we face an entirely different world. We are proud that we can lift our heads upward and say, we belong to the great- est tribe on earth - We are Americanslv ...15...

Hazel Messer Miss Leavitt Advisers . . , Mr, Smith Mr. Scheidecker The Juniors remember very Well when they first came to camp here, in good ole E. P. H. S. They were a happy bunch of papooses with more than average pride in their tribe. Many joined the high school musical organizations and distinguished themselves, even as freshmen, in athletics. The first social affair was a Sadie Haw- kins party and was enjoyed very much. Last year, after a refreshing vacation, this tribe continued on the trail of learn- ing. Some of the braves of forty-three began their careers as regulars,', last year on Red Raider squads. A few of the number Were members of the successful music organizations of that year. The annual class party of last year was just a party, and was it fun! The Junior Braves are certain that they will have to go some next year to sur- pass this year's pleasurable events. The activities that stand out are the Junior play, the prom, the Senior hop and the Junior-Senior party. The play was pre- sented last November. It Was a comedy entitled Footloose, and its director, Miss Leavitt, and the cast did a fine job. The Juniors will always remember the Wonderful time they had at the prom, at which they were hosts to the seniors. Ev- eryone enjoyed dancing in such a formal atmosphere. In return, the Seniors were hosts to the Junior tribe at the Senior hop. The Junior-Senior class party, a co-opera- tive Christmas party, was a big success. As a whole the tribe of forty-three, active in all the clubs and school organi- zations, is certainly proud of the athletic accomplishments by which its members served victorious Red Raider squads. Of course, the Junior Braves tended to studies diligently and can point to the per- centage of its class on the school honor rolls to prove this statement. They hope next year ,Will be as enjoyable and profit- able as this past year has been. ...28-.

Although unaccustomed to the traditions of the Red Raiders, they soon learned from the Wiser counselors, the upperclassmen. Little did the green freshmen know what to expect when they entered the clan of the Red Raiders. They had heard all sorts of versions on life at East Peoria High but found that it was educational in more Ways than one. For instance, from many experiences, they have learned to live with others.

They have had hardships and troubles, too, as they have struggled along to dis- tinguish themselves among the upperclass braves. The freshmen think that they have accomplished much and have many happy remembrances of their first year in high school.

Student Council COUNCIL OF LITTLE CHIEFS OFFICERS President .,.... .,........ Vice-President . . , ,... . . . . Secretary 44.. Treasurer . . Adviser . . The Student Council is the representa- tive group of the entire student body. Representatives are chosen from each class so that decisions made by the council rep- resent the opinion of a majority of stu- dents. When something new or a worth- while change is desired in the school by the students, it is the student council which works out a suitable plan and pre- sents it to the school officials. It is a duty of the student council to help promote school spirit. A great deal has been accomplished by the student council of 1941-1942 for the good of the individual student. The major project was the publishing of this, our first yearbook at East Peoria High School. The idea was presented in the council and after making necessary investigations, a yearbook staff was appointed and work began immediately under the direction of the student council. The name of our .....BobWagner . . ,.,,.,.. Ray Webb . . . , . Tressa Riggenbach ., . Edna Mae O,Connor Miss Memler yearbook was selected by popular vote of the student body. Another innovation introduced to the school by the student council this year is the school directory. This little handbook, the Red Raider Reference, proved helpful to students in enabling them to become acquainted with others, in promoting school spirit, and presenting them with a sportsmanship code, and other useful in- formation. The activities of the council were var- ied. Several student assemblies were given under the supervision of the student coun- cil. The election of cheerleaders was in charge of this group. Two evening dances, one with an orchestra, were given by the student council. A number of noon-hour dance periods were arranged. Each year the student council hopes to grow in wisdom and responsibility for the good of the students in the school. Girls' Athletic Association Around the G. A. A. camp Hre are gathered one hundred young maidens ev- ery two weeks for a business powwow and every two months to smoke the peace pipe socially. q The head maids of this tribe are: Chief .......,,.., ..,.,.. J ean Willis Assistant Chief ....,. Marjorie Hammer Scribe ...,.....,...... Pauline Carroll Wampum Collector ,..,... Alice Marvis Powwow Leader ..,..... Margie Arnold Camp Fire Leader ..... Esther Parnharn Miss Big Chief ........,,, Miss Satterlee The purpose of the Girls' Athletic As- sociation is: To maintain high standards and pro- mote ideas of health and sportsmanship. To stimulate interest in athletics among the girls of high schools of Illinois. This organization offers two groups of sports - the organized sports and the unorganized sports. The organized sports or group sports consist of: basketball, volleyball, softball, badminton, tennis, tumbling, and soccer- ball. The unorganized sports or sports played individually are: swimming, bowling, badminton, tennis, bicycling, ping-pong, skating, and skiing. Letters are awarded each year to thcsc having the required points. The freshman and sophomore letters, 600 to 1200 points respectively required, in the colors maroon and gold are given by the Board of Education and the local school organization. The junior and senior letters, 1800 and 2400 points respectively required, are blue and white, which are the colors of the state. These letters are awarded by the latter and also given by the Board of Edu- cation and the school organization. Some of the social activities of the G. A.

Miss Winchell, Miss Wigoda One of the most popular groups in the Wigwam of E. P. C. H. S. is the Girl Re- serves. Besides being a local and national organization, G. R. has clubs in over fifty other countries. Girl Reserves bring girls of many different nationalities into a closer world of friendship and better understand- ing among races. The Y. W. C. A. sponsors the Girl Re- serves in order to help teen-age maidens develop healthy bodies, keen, alert minds and loyal spirits. All Girl Reserves are junior members of the Y. W. C. A. The Girl Reserves is a club of action! Every year it tries to develop many varied interests among its members, including music, dramatics, games, crafts, dances, parties, teas, and swimming. In addition, each local club sends several representa- tives to the Interclub Council. Barbara Doering, a Red Raider princess, is the president. This Council enables girls to plan and carry on united activities. It sponsors powwows for all girls of the great- er Peoria area.

Camping trips are very popular, for the Y. W. C. A. camp is at the pretty site on Fondulac Drive. The maidens find much enjoyment in friend- ship about the camp fire. One of the most outstanding events held each year is the Christmas Vesper Service, which consists of a religious pro- gram, using a Girl Reserve Choir and an impressive candle lighting service. The friends of G. R. and the public are in- vited to attend. All G. R. members look forward eager- ly to the Ring Ceremony, when rings and emblems symbolizing Girl Reserve Stand- ards are awarded to those who have earned them. In E. P. H. S. the Girl Reserves is di- vided into two clubs, the Freshman and the Senior Club. In this Way each group may do what it most enjoys. ...45.- Latin Club OFFICERS President ...... ........,, .... M i nnie Johnson Vice-President . . . ..... Duane Bitner Secretary ,.... . . . Harold Fogelmark Treasurer . . . , . . Evelyn Corrie Adviser . . . . . . Miss Palmer The Latin Club was organized in Oc- tober, 1941, by the Latin II class under the sponsorship of Miss Palmer. The hope of enlivening a so-called dead subject has been the purpose of the organization. A large group of new members was initiated by the charter members at the Halloween Party. Games, stunts, and songs were performed by the initiates. Ap- propriate with the occasion was the ghost of Julius Caesar, who solemnized the form- al reception of the new members. Saturnalia, which is the Roman holiday at Christmas time, was celebrated by the club. Word contests and Latin Christ- mas Carols were a part of the program. Valentines Day was recognized with great gusto by the members. Since Venus, the goddess of love, and Cupid, her son, were important Roman gods, the members were delighted by the presentation which was humorously made by two fellow mem- bers. Latin valentines were exchanged, the translation of which caused much pal- pitation. The Latin Club meets once a month. Their motto is, Labor Cmnia Vincit. The aim of the organization is to stimu- late a vital interest in the classics and scholarships. l The Vocational Home Economics Club OFFICERS President ..,. , . Vice-President . Secretary . . .

The music clubs climaxed this past year with a joint concert. This spring concert is an annual tradition, enjoyed by all. The three choruses participated in the spring contests, and brought home many honors for the school. These contests are held for all high school choruses, and are conducted similarly to state basketball tournaments. Tn these contests our choruses competed with those from schools whose enrollment equals ours. Our soloists enter annual individual contests, too. In the district contest held in February all four of our soloists placed, three in first division - Karl Dooley in baritone, Wanda Bitner in contralto, and Melvin Swanson in tenor, while June Rose Glenn placed in the second division in soprano. The results of the later con- tests will be known after the EPOCH has gone to press. The band is the only instrumental organization in our high school. The band's scope of activities differs from that of the other musical clubs. During the football season the band performed such intricate Held drills as the four revolving wheels' and the school letters. While our plucky Red Raiders 'tpepperedu their opponents during 11 game the band 'Qpepped up the crowd with lively marches during the half.', The band also played at many home basketball games. The band's por- tion on the program of the spring concert consisted of marches and overtures. Mr. Valentine is the conductor and director of the band and the three choruses. Camera Club The Red Raider of today, when in a creative mood, no longer has to scratch his idea on hides or stones. He has a better method, the magic black boxf' the camera. As the durability of the Indian Wigwam depends upon the hides from which it is made, so the strength and lasting quality of the camera club is the friendliness upon which it is built. Each member shares the responsibility of the club accord- ing to his own interest, so no officers are needed. The club tries to teach the fundamentals of the art of picture snapping by discussion and exper- ience. The members are learning that one must know his camera, different types of lenses, light- ing, distances, and exposures, to enable him to be- come a good photographer. The fathers of our tribe would have worshipped the little black box with its companion, the blind: ing ball of fire. Now the camera with its flash bulb is a common sight on the campus.

Heavy,,, as he is known, is just one of the boysf' He adjusted a team that was shattered by graduation to one that opposing teams knew and feared. During the basketball season one of his most noticeable characteristics was his nervousness. Heavy would sit on the bench, then on one knee, then back on che bench. Then he would rub his ringer around the back of his collar, then he would shout. The yells must have been good ones for the team came through with an average of 700, winning all of the im- portant games and finishing second in all games' standing in the Greater Peoria area. Ted Panish, our assistant coach, was another one of the reasons for the vic- tories chalked up this year by our foot- ball and basketball teams. A former Bradley Tech star, Ted coached the backfield men in football. He had charge of our freshman-sopho- more basketball team which lost only six games through the entire season. Ted was a firm believer in hard work and much yelling. Now, as a member of the United States Naval Training School, we hope Ted keeps on turning out Winning teamsg teams that will whip the heck out of the Japs. Dale Englehorn, another Bradley Tech star, has taken up where Panish left off. CHEERLEADERS Left lo Riglai: Esther Parnham Evelyn Jones Margaret Hammer 53- Football In the first game of the year, East Peoria was held to a 7 to 7 tie with a tough Spring Valley eleven. The East Peoria score came in the second quarter on a power play by Babs Fredrickson. For the second game, East Peoria played her best ball of the year to defeat Manual 6 to 0. East Peoria outplayed Manual throughout the game. This game was the first played in our new Stadium. Our game with Spalding was the upset of the season. East Peoria outplayed her rival in yards gained and in first downs but could not quite get over the goal line. East Peoria made 12 first downs to Spald- ingis 3. The game was played in ankle deep mud on the new field. There was not much brilliance displayed by either team. This was East Peoria,s second de- feat in four years, 0 to 6. East Peoria bounced back to defeat Washington High 20 to 0. Leland Tom- linson, our big fullback, scored once on a long run down the middle, and Babs went over twice. The second defeat of the year was in- flicted upon East Peoria by Centralia. The Centralia field was turned into a quag- mire by a heavy rainfall which continued throughout the game. The final score was 18 to 6 with East Peoria on the short end. East Peoria ran up its highest score of the year on Monmouth by 27 to 0. This game was one of the few which was played on a dry Held. f In the seventh game, East Peoria was held to a scoreless tie with her Armistice Day rival, Woodruff. The silver horse- shoe, the trophy awarded to the victor of this annual contest, will remain in East Peoria's trophy case for another year. The final score was 0 to 0. Twenty-five hundred fans were on hand to see the first East Peoria - Central battle ever staged. East Peoria outplayed Central, making 8 first downs to their 4, and 181 yards from scrimmage to their 117. The game ended 7 to 6 in favor of Central. ..54... 1 Sparland . Brimfield . . .

A fm: mx. ., f - The Squad HAROLD MOBLEY - After three years out, Mobley finally made the squad and turned out to be one of our best guards. FERN OVERMIER - 'Turk' played guard this year for the second time. A junior, he opened holes that even Tom- linson could find his way through. CHESTER GALE - Chet was an- other boy who was a great pass receiving end. His Hrst year on the squad, he was in on every play. DANIEL COOGAN - Danny, our tallest end, stood out on pass receiving. Danny was another of the many juniors on the team. JIM CARROLL - A guard who as a sophomore was as big as our two regu- lars. He is expected to hold down a regu- lar berth next year and he will be a valu- able man. JACK KERNS - Another junior, Kerns developed into a great player, and next year will give the opponents much trouble. WENDELL CLATT - One of the few three-letter men in East Peoria's foot- ball history. Dynamic on both offense and defense. The famed power play al- ways followed Windy.,' JACK FAUGHN - A center who as a senior was a very valuable reserve. Jack made all the trips and was one of the most popular boys on the squad. HAROLD LOEW - One of the two sophomores on the squad, Beany was one of the best centers in recent years. Also a standout on defense. EUGENE YEADICKE - Another sophomore who was to be a member of next year's varsity. Although he dropped, out of school at the semester he will be eligible next fall. MARVIN STEIN - In addition to be- ing a good football player, Red was also a star on the sophomore basketball team. He will undoubtedly take over one of the regular tackle posts next season. BOB HOUSER - Bobby was the number five man in our backfield and it was due mainly to his ability that we de- feated Manual. He was one of the fastest men on the team and the best on the squad at running the ends. EDXVARD ALEXANDER-Although it was his first year out, Bubby made the team and was our toughest end. MELVIN SCHULTZ - One of our biggest and toughest men, Schultz was a great defensive star. KENNY REGENTZ - A tough jun- ior who will be a big star next year. A good blocker and defensive end. RAYMOND FREDRICKSON - Babs,' was rated as the toughest man on our squad this year and his plunging and signal-calling were the teamls greatest as- sets. LELAND TOMLINSON - One of the backfield men, Tommy was also one of the biggest and fastest. A good blocker and tackler. JIMMY MATHEWS - Jimmy was our leading scorer and our best break-away runner. A star for three years. BILL MITZELFELT - A great deal of the line plunging this year was done by Mitchie who could hit as hard as any of 'em. CLYDE EMERSON - Another back- field man who will be back next year, Clyde is an open field runner deluxe. -57- 4 5 -58- The Squad JIMMY MATHEWS - A senior. A valuable floor man -- nice rebounder for his size - all-round athlete, famous for his hook shot. At Morris he intercepted the ball and tied up the score to send the game into overtime. WALT BOUNDY - Walt stands 6 ft. 3 in. He is the tallest man on the team. Has proven a valuable asset to the team. A natural rebounder. Because of his height, he can always be counted on for at least 5 points per game. DAN COOGAN - A junior, second year varsity. The best shot of the school, is third highest individual scorer in Great- er Peoria. He averages 10 points per game. A swell center. AL SCHMITT - Al's a senior and one of the smallest men on the squad, never- theless, he can be counted on for a lot of points whenever he enters the game. Red,' very seldom misses his long shots. Got 13 against Brimiield. RAY FREDRICKSON - Playing his third year of varsity ball. A senior, he rates along with the best on defense. Passes a pretty left-handed shot, which con- nects often. His 15 points at Morton de- note his big night. These points were scored on long shots. JACK CLATT - Another junior over 6 foot. Although he seldom breaks into the lineup he is a very valuable man to the team in practice. He is a good guard, a dependable rebounder, and will be back next year. ' CARL SCHMITT -- Bud', is a jun- ior, also. While he stands only S ft. 7 in., he is in on every play during practice. When he breaks into a varsity game, there is always a lot of action. BILL MTTZELFELT - Another jun- ior. One of the best defensive men on the squad, and an excellent ball handler. Hit his peak at Mason City, where he bagged 17 points, all on pretty looping long shots. LOREN RISEN - One of the tallest men on the squad. Excellent rebounder, good floor man, a junior who stands 6 ft. 2 in. Probably the brightest point in his career was his basket, tying the score with Central, with 3 seconds of playing time remaining. ..59- Intramural Basketball Five intramural teams were organized last fall under the supervision of Mr. Panish.

See you next fall -73 W, Who's Laughing? ust look what you've found upon this page These pictures from another age, Laugh till your face is good and blue For they might easily be of you. Now let's get serious, but just pretend That picture is of your dearest friend, In the photo he looks the perfect fool But really he,s the smartest' boy in school. See that snap there with the sparkling eye Made me laugh until I thought I'd die, But if you saw that girl today, She's beautiful! is what you'd say. That one right there all sad and weary May be the one you're going to marry, And that one with the frowning pan May someday be your grocery man. See that one there about to cry Will sometime sell the clothes you buy, And that girl there, you know her name Will someday rise to sudden fame. They seem so funny printed here In this book we'll hold so dear But really they are all worthwhile If you'll only stop to think awhile. - Paul Atwood -74... , The EPOCH Staff Fourteen moons ago the Council of Lit- tle Chiefs, the Student Council, authorized to select a staff to publish the first year- Editor ,.,,..

We have worked long and hard to make the record of our good times spent in the Red Raider's Wigwam and we hope everyone enjoys our first EPOCH. Thank You -- Counselors To our counselors, who have put forth such worthy efforts in helping us to edit this, our Hrst yearbook, We, the members of the staff, give our most sincere thanks. Miss Memler, you Were the Chief Med- icine Doctor for all the ills and ailments of the EPOCH. Miss Murray, you not only collected Wampum, but supervised all of the Work on the flying finger ma- chine. Mr. Bucher, you saw all of us, at one time or another, pose with our most becoming smile only to be blinded by the lightning from the flash bulb. Without your assistance, we would never have been able to publish the EPOCH with any degree of success.
