We Dedicate this EPo CH of 1.944 Three Hacienda ., ,M...w................-L Four Five East P e o r i a Community High School -- how many memories that name recalls to all of us, to the alumni, seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. With the mention of that name or the sight of that building We recall football games, parties, classes, lunch in the cafeteria, a chemistry book, a borrowed pencil, a two-page theme, classmates, and teachers - everything that makes a high school. Everyone that ever attended E.P.C. H.S. has some special memory of good times to cherish. Within this hacienda are centered the lives of more than 600 students every year. Within these Walls We worry about an exam, rush to assem- bly, or linger after class. For four years each student works and studies, four years is a long time, and yet not one of us would trade the memory of a single day for any price. Here is the center of all our mem- ories of youth-memories we shall consider dearest and remember long- est. Vive la East Peoria High! Gran Personas O Mire usted!

Twelve Classes. Buenos Dias! discipulos! La Classes! We are presenting to you the dashing ladies and gentle- men of E.P.C.H. Heading the list and first in line are, of course, the sophisticated, dignified, and oh! so wise Senors and Senoritas. To these all others look with respect and envy! Next the gay cabelleros, the social butterflies of EP., care- free and gay. Following this romantic bunch are the quiet mysterious hombresg they spend their time preparing for the day when they, too, will be bold senors. Last come the lowly peons, the envy of no one, the butt of all jokesg they are the babes in the woods of this hacienda.

At first be- wildered and confused, they grew timid, but now they take courage to at- tain a higher rank in the Hacienda staff.

During the past year the Council has accomplished many tasks. ln the fall the Council prepared the annual directory, the Red Raider Reference. ,W The d i s t ri ct Student Council convention w a s held at Peoria Central, at which time our Council president c on ducted a group discussion and our secretary contributed to the panel discussion of 'tHigh Schools' Contribu- tion to the Post-War VVorld. A full social calendar was planned, with two all school parties and several noon and p o s t- gam e dances. Every group does some- thing to promote a patri- otic feeling, so the Coun- cil sold war bonds and stamps and sent Christ- mas greetings to the men in service. Forty-two FEATURE ED.

XVhat work? That of gathering information on the activi- ties of the school year. A group of students who get around and see what's going on are chosen. These students must gather pictures, get the 'tlow down on the members of the faculty, see that each class and club is given honorable mention, and see that all the year's activities are written up. They have an important job to do and they see that it's done. When you receive your EPOCH, they will be able to tell by the looks on your faces whether you are pleased or not, and they all rest easier when the 1944 ICPOCH is a reality.

To an outsider it may seem like a bedlam as he will see some students typing, copyreading, clipping newspapers, or writing a story. Each has his own task to perform. The staff tries to give the readers news concerning the many different pow-wows held each month, and encourages the growth of school spirit and citizenship. Another goal of the paper is to keep the servicemen informed about what is happening at home. They are most appreciative of news from the Old High.

The purpose of the club is to create an interest in hobbies in either of the three fields: collective, creative, or sports. Old hobbies are enlarged upon and new ones introduced. The club has the priv- ilege of hearing outside speakers talk on their hobbies which always proves interesting to all. Different members of the club participate in the meetings also by telling of their hobbies. Other activities are carried on by the club, such as: handicraft days in winter, and outdoor meetings in the spring.

When the War is over, 1 ' ' bigger and better planes and equipment will be made both for private and commercial use. When that equip- ment is made, passenger and freight service by air will be as common as railroad trains. It will also bring the countries of the world closer together. You might spend the evening or Week-end in London or Brazil and be home in time to go to Work Monday morning. When all this is made possible, men and women will be needed to operate this equip- ment and improve it. It is the purpose of the Aero Club to help those who are interested in aviation by teaching them how and Why the airplane flies, and to acquaint them with things that are closely connected with aviation, such as meteorology and radio. Mr. King, our adviser, has spent many hours doing everything he can to improve our club. AERO CLUB First row, lt-fi to right: Rose-mziry lXlcNeill. Mary Mitcllit-ll. Gene Jones.

A Christmas party, a Valentine party, and a May Day banquet were held in addi- tion to the regular meetings. The club presented two excellent assemblies.

Their program consists of many A e interests as music, dancing, banquets, teas, crafts, swimming, camp- ll,if':Ke ing, and social welfare. They correspond with girls of different na- ' tions and get better acquainted with G. R.'s of other countries. The J Girl Reserves in war-torn countries is doing much toward relieving the suffering. The club promotes friendship and cooperation among the girls at home and abroad. There is one council member who attends the Inter-club Council which meets at the Y.W.C.A. All the Girl Reserves Clubs in Peoria send a representative to these meetings. The members may attend Lakeview Camp on the Drive each summer for added fun and enjoyment. Christmas is a most interesting time in this club for the Christmas Vespers are sung by the united clubs of greater Peoria, and the hanging of the greens takes place. Cab- inet conferences and hobby shows are also held during the year. GIRL. RESERVES First row. left to right: Reverlv llufi-lil. Dolores Nimmons.

' For example, it recently held a party, called the Daughter Dates ' I Motheyy to which each member invited her mother. '. Then, the club furnishes an opportunity for educational, rec- vqgiggig J reational, and philanthropic activities. To carry out the educational ilk! 7 aspect, the club has presented programs on Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays, and sponsored two talks on hair-dressing and nursing. The recreational activities en- joyed were dancing, movies, singing, a talent program, and several parties. The Red Cross and U.S.O. donation comprised the club's philanthropic activities for the year. The third purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in homemaking. To encourage this purpose, Mrs. Tjaden delivered a talk on Table Decorations for all seasons of the year which she illustrated with many interesting table arrangements.

It's all right. Who said so? Everybody! Who's everybody? The Pep Club. m My? Who is causing all the commotion in the girls' gym? Oh, ,N 'V yes! I remember. The Pep Club is meeting today and those rousing X cheers send shivers up our spine. This club has been organized to boost and build morale of play- ers and students. From all appearances it is doing a good job. Game attendance has increased. School spirit and sportsmanship of stu- dents and players prove the merit of our efforts. fi ,pf M, . lr., Xi, jp NWA tj, Meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of each month. The sessions are us- ually opened with a rousing cheer or two from the cheerleaders or by singing our new school song. Each year the club sponsors a dance with our lettermen as guests of honor. Several good and interesting assemblies are a result of club planning. Regular meetings have new and interesting programs with an occasional party. These programs have either an entertaining speaker, a skit, or a musical variety. All members must know the sportsman's code which, we think, helps to make the Pep Club the peppiest club in school.

Aunt Barbara and Aunt Flora were to be house- mothers to help the children pay off the mortgage. Two boys masqueraded as the aunts in order to gain approval of the venture by the dean. All this created amusing complications, finally solved by the friendly professor. It was fun.

Hlcn Nwvitl 'XI l lt lJil'1-vin N Sixty mm SENIOR PLAY BEYOND REASON Beyond Reason, the three-act mystery farce presented by the senior class, April 28 and 29, was truly beyond reason and literally a nightmare. This suspense and laugh-filled comedy by Austin Goetz had its setting in the Wildwood Sanitorium, supposedly a rest home for the mentally ill, but in reality a place Where perfectly healthy individuals were driven to insanity. Dr. VVilfred Steele, the proprietor, and his nurse, Sonia Petroff, were respon- sible for this. The mystery of why people never returned from the house of dungeons and trapdoors was solved when Rose Colfax was sent there by her Aunt Sarah. Dusty and Delilah, comic colored folks, aided the cause, as well as Ted Blaine and VVolfe, inmates of the sanitorinm, who kept the audience guessing con- cerning their sanity.

The fellows who carry the football, shoot the basketball, hit the baseball, and hot-foot it around the track. These are the gouchos for whom We yell ourselves hoarse at every game. They can be recognized by their maroon letters, their manly physiques, or their crew or monkey haircuits. Vive la athletes of East Peoria High, the Red Raiders. Sixty-four 1'i3rF K Tix I S -Q, Ss THE 1943 FOOTBALL SEASON The Raiders had a comparatively good season with seven wins and three losses. East Peoria was second to Spalding in the All-Games Standing, with a percentage of .700 to Spalding's .714. The Maroon and Gold shared the Greater Peoria title with the Manual Rams, each with a record of three wins and one loss. The Raiders started their season with a 20 to 0 victory over Manual. East Peoria, loaded with injuries, was upset by a powerful Galesburg eleven, 2 to 0, by virtue of a safety in the second quarter. The Allisonmen, with a win and a loss to their credit, traveled to Rock Island. Play- ing inspired ball the Raiders held the Rocks to a 7 to 0 half-time score. In the last half the undermanned visitors yielded to a twelve point barrage. Final score 19 to 0. East Peoria came back with vengeance burning inside them to whip the highly touted Spalding eleven, 13 to 6. Traveling to Washington on the next Friday, the Raiders romped to an easy 32 to 0 victory over the inexperienced Panthers. The Maroon and Gold traveled to Centralia, October 15, to beat the Orphans for the first time in two years to the tune of 13 to 0. The Raiders came home and on the following Friday crushed the Monmouth Scots, 31 to 7. FOQTBALL Sixty-six In their only appearance of the year at the Peoria Stadium, the Raiders seemed well on their way to an early victory when an ill-fated pass was intercepted by a Central man and carried to our forty-yard line. Using several passes the Cen- tralites succeeded in snaring a touchdown. With the score deadlocked 6 to 6 the Central team pushed across their extra point, giving them a 7 to 6 lead. A second half rally failed to materialize and the Raiders Went down in defeat 7 to 6. Rebounding from a stinging defeat at the hands of Central, East Peoria smashed the Pekin Chinks 20 to 13. With traditional rivalry the Woodruff War- riors and the Raiders fought a bitter battle in East Peoria's Stamper Stadium. East Peoria's smooth working T formation proved to be too much for the gallant Warriors as the game Win- ning touchdown was scored in the second quarter. The second half was battled on even terms and the game ended 6 to 0. Sixty-seven FOOTBALL SCORES We They 20 . . Manual . . 0 0 . . Galesburg . . 2 0 . . Rock Island . . 19 13 . .

CARL BACH-Carl was one of p CLARENCE ALLISON gi. .l 432 it GL -All ...V THE TEAM FRED FERRIS-Captain of this year's Raider crew. Was the key man in the line. Fred has held the regular berth at center for the past two years. He was a wise cap- tain as well as one of the best centers ever produced at East Peoria. He was named center of the All-State Football Team. BOB SCHMIDT-This was Bob's first year L of football. Although he was a senior he did his job as though he had had previous ex- perience. He made the varsity squad as left end and played a brilliant defensive game. Bob made one mistake, and that was not coming out for football sooner. HAROLD LOEW-Was the powerhouse fullback of the deadly T formation dis- played by this year's team. His plunges were fierce and bruising. His consistent ground-gaining was outstanding in the Raid- er offense. Beany also did some excellent blocking. JIM CARROLL-This was Ji1n's second and last year on the varsity. While the Raiders were on defense Jim backed up the line. As linebacker he tackled viciously and was excellent on pass defense. As an offen- sive lineman, Jim was a hard charging guard and was pulled for interference frequently. BOB HOUSER-Was the most versatile back on the Raider's team. Bob was switched from quarterback to halfback to make him a triple-threat man. On defense Bob was a halfback and on offense he was a twisting, shifty runner and a dangerous man with the ball. He threw good hard blocks while running as interference. the few boys who operated at two positions. When called, he could play end with the line or halfback in the backfield. His services were always needed. Carl's outstanding play was done in the Pekin game when his pass in- terceptions set up touchdowns for the Raid- ers. Bach, as a senior, was an able blocker and a good hard tackler. KARL DOOLEY-Played right tackle. He was the only non-letterman in the starting line-up. He was the only one who seemed to be able to handle the right tackle slot. 5 1 K s 1 Q. . L-, f CHARLES MOSHER Manager. f Coach. Sixty-eight THE TEAM VERN INGALSBE-Left end. VVas a smart and rugged lineman ou defense. French is a deadly tackler and a hard charger on offense. WARREN SEIBERTHWas the field gen- eral for the Raider aggregation. His bril- liant ball-handling and running was an im- portant factor in the offense and operation of the T formation. Si is just a junior and can be counted on to lead next year's team if he is not called into service. REX CUMMING-This was Rex's first year as a regular. He worked hard and faith- fully. He had the distinction of being one of the three Raiders on the All-City team. Although playing with injuries to his ribs received in the first game, he would never give up. Several times during games he would charge through from his left tackle spot and nail the runner for big losses. JIM HUFFORD-Manipulated at right guard and was an alert defensive lineman as well as offensive, His small size hindered him little, as he was a fast charging line- man. On offense .lim sometimes pulled out of the line to lead interference. ROBERT ARNOLD-The junior right end was outstanding in his blocking and pass snatching. Lindy was a bulwark on de- fense. He will be an invaluable asset to next year's squad. JIM ARNOLD Manager JOHN KNEZOVICH Assistant Coach LOREN REEDER-Speedy halfback was a brilliant left-handed passer deluxe. His passes were something to see and the 't42 sneaker was used much for his benefit in the running plays, This was Rock's first year with the varsity. BILL COOGAN Substitute center on the squad this year. Bill had the misfortune of competing with Ferris for center honors. He proved to be a valuable man. F' .,..,.. ., ,4 Sixty-nine THE 19-I3-44 BASKETBALL SEASON The Red Raiders opened their basketball season with a 34 to 25 win over a weak Metamora squad at Metamora. The Raiders annexed their second victory of the season at the expense of a fighting Morton quint. The Potters fought fiercely but could not stop the Raider's attack. East Peoria then became hosts to a powerful team from Galesburg, that scored a 43 to 30 victory over the fighting Raiders. The Maroon and Gold then entered the first Greater Peoria game with Manual, and they came out on the long end of a 42 to 36 decision over the Rams. Canton visited East Peoria with an impressive record and scored a decisive 62 to 42 Win although the locals outplayed and outscored them the second half. East Peoria next battled Woodruff for its second Greater Peoria game. With the score being knotted several times, the Raiders put on a fourth-quarter drive to take a 38 to 30 win. The Jinx team from Central put in its appearance to give the Allisonmen a battle and a loss. Central took the Greater Peoria game with a four-point margin. The Raiders then traveled to meet Pekin. The Chinks, this time, got revenge for the trouncing East Peoria had given them the year before on their own floor. Pekin outplayed the Raiders to the tune of 43 to 29. East Peoria journeyed to Mason City to walk away with a 54 to 23 victory. The game was a free-scoring encounter with the Raiders leading all the way. In a closely fought game, the Red Raiders won their third Greater Peoria victory at the expense of Spalding. The nod went to East Peoria with a 34 to 28 count. Playing host to the Morton Potters, the Raiders took their second victory over them. It was a wild, hard-fought game with the Raiders on top 37 to 26.

Time ran out as the Raiders pushed the score to 63 to 20. The Raiders moved into a six-game winning streak when they edged out a 40 to 39 squeeze over the Central Jinx. It was Cliff Hurd's push shot that won the game as the gun ended it. Meeting Spalding for the second time, the East Peorians ran wild to give the Irish a 53 to 37 shellacking, making it seven straight. The Woodruff Warriors invaded the cross river gym only to be turned back by the fast style of our Raiders' play, giving the locals a record of eight straight wins. Upon invading the Manual premises, the Raiders found a real battle, but after much brilliant playing they tied up their ninth scalp in a row. The Panthers, who gave the Raiders quite a battle in their first meeting of the sea- son, looked like a different team in their second meetingg however, in the last quarter they staged a rally that fell short by a small margin. The Raiders walked off the floor with their tenth straight win. It was the Chinks who smashed the ten-game winning streak of the Raiders on the home floor. In the final game of the Raiders' regular schedule, Bloomington visited the locals. The Purple Warriors displayed remarkable eye for the hoop as they racked up a 59 to 53 win over East Peoria. The Raiders opened their own Regional tournament with a 48 to 27 win over the Eureka Hornets. The win enabled East Peoria to meet Washington, victor over Chilli- cothe in the second game of tourney play. Taking their third decision of the year over the Panthers 49 to 41, the Raiders earned the right to meet the Manual Rams in the finals. ln the Championship game, the Raiders pounded out a 45 to 30 beating to take the Regional title and trophy.

Eighty-two A' wx 4 R Z' f 73 LITERARY CONTEST if if + This year for the first time, the EPOCH conducted a literary contest. This contest had competitions in three fields-short stories, essays, and poems. The contest began the first of October and closed on December 18. All students of the high school competed. From the many entries received, only the first place winner in each field was selected to be printed in the EPOCH. The following students were the high ranking contestants: SHORT STORY 1. Louise Wiley 2. Arthur Gay 3. Lyle VanPelt 4. Delmer Rench o. John Harr ESSAY 1. Grant Martin 2. Marian Schock 3. Paul Fritz 4. Robert Feger 5. Jay Fritz POEM 1. Jane Bolin 2. Harold Strickfaden 3.

E ' Have you ever sat, inches from death, not daring to move a muscle, while Zeros or Messer- schmitts zoomed overhead-looking for you- personally ? This was the reply I received from a soldier after a brief discussion of an essay which I was trying to write. I 1 ffl 5 X X J ' ,lx X XX s ' gf X XX I N 1 X tx 4 u N Z mtl, i 51 A-xfrif xxwiivf X X ' x xl, f Well--maybe you haven't, he continued, as he arranged himself comfortably in my father's easy chair, lighted his pipe, and began blowing smoke curls into the air. I could tell by the glint in his eyes that here was my chance to gather the material for my composition if I could only encourage this lonesome soldier to express his thoughts in words. I'm a little too young for that experience, I said, but in a few years- . I did not get my sentence finished for the soldier had raised his hand in a gesture of silence, and, with his eyes fixed on an unseen object, he spoke these words: Every child has a soul and it's up to me and every man in uniform to make those dirty little squint eyes see that the world must be made a decent place for those souls to develop fruitfully. That's one of the things we're fighting for today, my boy, and it's up to you younger ones to keep it that way. Honesty, truth, reason, intelligence, and rights of all must be preserved now and forever! We must have a civilization in which rules and promises are kept! We must have a democracy of liberty and economic security! Be' cause of the hatred in one man's heart this war began. Now we are fighting to replace madness and hatred with reason and goodness, so that the principles of our forefathers and the four freedoms, which they gave us will be safe. Every man, woman, and child is striving now for a community of nations in a post-war world. There was silence for a moment then the soldier became conscious of his whereabouts and quickly added, one can easily name the things for which we are fighting for when a Zero or Messerschmitt is mentioned ! He arose, knocked the ashes from his pipe and as silently as he entered my vision, so did he disappear. When the glorious hour of unconditional surrender has struck, our gallant fighting men can lay aside their guns and enjoy the freedom they have helped create. -GRANT MARTIN. Eighty-five Moonlight Justice ir 'A' nk 'There's something very funny about the way that guy died, Bronson. The doctor said he must have been frightened to death. You know, Jerry, that would be a horrible way to dieg but I'd say this one deserved it, answered Bronson. The rest of those saboteurs will get theirs too. It's too bad we didn't get them before. Jerry Wotton was a detective on the Ardain City Police Force. George Bron- son was the Chief of Police. Well, we have them now, and I hope they get the death sentence. It was they who started that fire in Powder City's Ammunition Factory last week-five hun- dred people killed, eight hundred injured, and there are still some missing. I sure feel sorry for their families. Bronson shook his head -gravely. This Fritz Gregory was the head of the spy ring, wasn't he? asked Jerry. Yeah, he had quite a set-up, explained Bronson. He seemed to be a very re- spectable and well-to-do person in some little town in Illinois-went to church, took part in helping the U.S.O., was an air raid warden, just acted like any common ordi- nary American, but all the time he was in direct Contact with Germany, receiving orders to blow up vital war plants and troop trains. The F.B.I. became suspicious, and after the Powder City blow up rounded up the whole bunch-but Gregory got away. Not for long, though. I can't help won- dering what it was that would frighten a guy to death, mused Jerry. If Jerry had been with Fritz Gregory, the story would be entirely different. But as it was, Gregory was alone-alone with his conscience. It happened on the night of October 18, 1942. The moon eased its way through the black menacing clouds, and cast dark, sin- ister shadows on the waterfront. Gregory's SHORT own footsteps seemed to shout out to him in all his solitude. It annoyed him, so he stopped at the end of the dock and gazed into the murky water. The atmosphere was filled with apprehension. He felt there was something intangible about it-some- thing he couldn't understand. Oh! He must stop feeling this way. He must think of a way to contact Germany. True, Hitler would be angry because of his mistake in letting the F.B.I. discover his activities, but he was too valuable an agent to be executed. He would blame it on Stein. Stein was a dumkopf anyway. Hitler should be proud of the way he blew up the troop trains. Think of the soldiers he had killed. Those patriotic fools should know better than to fight the Master Race. It was their own fault they were killed. Fritz Gregory ! The harsh voice split the silence into tiny pieces. Gregory whirled with gun in hand. Had he come face to face with the devil it couldn't have startled him more. Who's there ? sharply. Did I frighten you? I hope I didg at least, I meant to. Before Gregory, and seemingly appear- ing from nowhere, stood a soldier. His face was deathly white. Around his head was a bloody bandage, and his uniform was tat- tered and torn. He had the appearance of having been in a fight just recently. Who are you? What do you want? How did you know my name ? Gregory was vis- ibly shaken. The gun hung loosely in his limp hand. You want to get right to the point, don't you, Fritz? Unusual for a Nazi. That's more an American characteristic. But, answering your first question, I'm Lieutenant James R. Sanders. I'm going to kill you, and the rest is none of your business. Eighty-six STORY Kill me, Lieutenant? But aren't you forgetting something. I have a gun, and you have nothing. At that, Lieutenant Sanders held out his hands, hands that were once soft and pink -hands that clapped with glee at the bright, red object hanging over his cradle -hands that carried school books, and held the bat that knocked more than one home run-hands that carried the pigskin -hands which had grown stronger and browner in sunshine and free air-hands that had carried a machine gun in the army. I need no weapon, he said quietly. Look here, Sanders, I've done nothing to you. Why should you want to kill me? What earthly reason-. You swine! You carry on mass murder and think nothing of it. How you have ever escaped your conscience so long, I don't know. You've massacred my buddies and slaughtered hundreds of innocent helpless people. For that alone I could gladly kill you, but I've got a personal score to settle with you. You deliberately murdered my father and sister. His voice was husky with emotion. Oh, you'll die a much pleasanter death than they did. I won't let you suffer, but you are not going to live to murder other innocent people ! Please, I beg of you, don't kill me, he t at ak Moonlight Justice pleaded. I'll do anything you want me to. I'll pay you-. Sanders came closer. I'll shoot you, screamed Gregory. The Lieutenant descended upon him. Two angry spurts of flame burst from the gun, but Sanders came still closer. Why d0n't you die? shrieked Fritz. Then, he felt a stabbing pain in his head, his ears began to roar, and suddenly it seemed all his breath was snatched away. That is how they found Fritz Gregory on October 19, 1942. His hands were clasp- ing his throat in a death grip, the gun lay beside him-two empty cartridges were found in his pocket. The doctor said he had died of heart failure, apparently fright- ened to death. Newspapers were filled with the sensa- tional news of Fritz Gregory's death, but in one small-town newspaper on the front page in the left-hand corner appeared the following article: POWDER CITY YOUTH KILLED IN ACTION Lieutenant James R. Sanders, son of Mrs. Vera M. Sanders, and the late George R. Sanders, is one of the fourteen Illinois men reported killed in action on October 12, 1942, in an official casualty list made public by the War Department today. Lieutenant Sanders was reported killed in action in the European war theater. -LOUISE WILEY. V Nittll ' gli! !! I , l1 ff ' .T ni 'NN All ' -V NNY --M 2,---f 9 ' .

School is now started in full swing, and, since I'm not too bright anyhow, my homework is getting me down. VVe've had four football games so far. In our first game we beat Manual 20-2, and I got my face smashed in qthey now call me scarface 7. A great upset followed when Galesburg beat us 2-0. Then, after traveling all the way to Rock Island, we got tromped on 19-0, But we came back in the Spalding game by winning. Now we feel a little better. Of course, all the class elections are over and all the offices were filled well. I'm a little wor- ried about the senior president, though, be- cause I think his chief interest is outside of school Cthey call he1' Helenl. Also, anyone who didn't know him, would think the junior presi- dent with that crew cut looks suspiciously like a recently escaped convict-he isn't though- or is he? We were shocked by the sudden death of our Math teacher, Mr. Kitchell. He was very helpful in the management of our refreshment booth at games. Remember? Our social events are sadly lacking so far with the exception of a hayrack ride the foot- ball team had-and such a ride! VVell, 1'll be writing to you, chum, so take it easy. Sqong, MOE. P.S.fAfter much ado Rock Reeder is fi- nally going steady with a certain blonde.-W. P.P.S.-Also our stamp and bond drive is going in full swing. VVe're making a contest of it.fW. OCTOBER Dear Joe: Suddenly I'm a social lion! XVe are really getting in the groove down here at old E,P,C. H.S. l'm beginning to feel more at home now with piles of homework-none of it done, of course--games to go to, parties to attend, and getting kicked out of study hall on the average of once a weekfl have fourth hour you know! Things are looking up for the old feetball team at present. They are cooking on the front burner, to put it delicately. With the ex- ception of an upset at the Central game, we have won every game this month. Let's see- we beat Spalding, VVashington, Centralia tl hear the boys had quite a time down therel and Monmouth. Of cou1'se, we had teachers' institute this month, and they let us poor abused students out one whole day. Imagine! The Junior class gave a swell play on Hal- loween. It was called Good Night Ladies. The cast, committees, and directors did a beautiful job. Ray Franks has come back to dear old E.P. Rex Cumming is seen around the halls with a cute little Senior named Dorothy lately, and you ought to see Chuck Arnold's Mary. There's quite a list of steady-goers. As for me, I guess l just ain't got it. AS ever, MABEL. NOVEMBER Dear Joe: Pardon the sniffles but I've got a code id by dose. The weather, getting suddenly tired of see- ing everyone nice and warm, has turned disgust- ingly cold so that the kleenex business is cookin' on the front burner. Our football season is over for good-yep! The last ball has been punted for 1943. After that game we lost to Central, it was pretty swell to tramp on those Pekin Chinks. But the big game of the season, the one we play the Woodruff War- riors for the Silver Horseshoe-well now that was a real game. For the ninth consecutive time, the Raiders have won the treasured horseshoe for E.P.C.H.S. Yes, the fellows really put out a lot for that game, but so did we spectators. Sitting on those hard bleachers in what seemed to be fifty below zero weather was no picnic. However, aside from a few fingers that fell off because they were frozen, I'm all right. Socially, we East Peorians are right on the ballg you should have seen the Red Raiders that turned out for the Student Council dance the tenth. There are some really snappy dancers enrolled here on the East side. Also some of the clothes worn were simply darling. Bob Houser and Seibert were the talk of the evening in their very formal overall pants worn with dainty plaid shirts of a contrast- ing color fnot to mention cowboy bootsj. Now we call them Tex Seibert and Gene Autry Houser. I should like to proclaim to all and sundry feven you, Joel that the Junior-Senior party held the nineteenth was a great success. Ask any junior or senior. Junior Cusac, sometimes referred to as Charles or Bones, has a new flameg his favorite tune is Wait for Me Mary. Everyone is puzzled about Ausfahl and Cumming-are they or aren't they? The most eligible bachelor of the month, Jim Carroll. VVell, gotta flash! Answer soon. MABEL. DECEMBER Dear Joe: Merry Xmas! Merry Xmas! and thanks for the lovely giftg I've always Wanted a can opener and shoe horn combined. Around here the holiday season is quite evi- dent, it has been rumored that several male stu- dents l1ave been bringing mistletoe to school-of course, I've been looking for them. There have also been many Christmas parties during advisory. There was a gift exchange in my class, and I got the cutest pink rattle and teething ring-just what I needed! The speech class gave its annual Christmas play and you would have enjoyed it. Christmas just wouldn't be complete without that play. Captain Timken came back to school the other day fMr. Timken the math teacher to youJg he's been flying a bomber in England, and he made a very interesting talk in assembly. Speaking of the faculty, the students are having an awful time with names-Mrs. Peden and Miss Leavitt-it's very confusing! Our essays, stories and poems had to be in be- fore vacation, and I worked like mad to get mine finished at the last minute falong with 649 other students, of coursel. I wrote a wonderful poem to a starving flea. The basketball team went to Mount Vernon during vacation to play in a tournament. They did very well, but they had a little tough luck in the semi-finals. I've heard some wild tales of esca- pades during their stay in that fair city-I wonder! Oh my! the bell just rang so I must flash! An- swer soon! MABEL. P.S.-What did you get Wilbur for Christmas? Ninety JANUARY Dear Joe: I came, I saw, I conquered? Of course, I am referring to my semester exams, and this was perhaps the most startling victory in history. fEspecially to my teachers.J I am now one step closer to that coveted diploma. Perhaps the greatest test of human endurance is the first Monday morning after the Christmas vaca- tion when the alarm goes off. You cannot imagine for can you?J that sinking feeling of utter despair when you hear that nasty little clock blare out its hateful tingle in the middle HJ of the night. Q7 a. m.J You should have seen all the kids after Christmas wearing the things that Santa brought. Some of the Santa Clauses were very interesting, too. Due to the generosity of good St. Nick, Inc., we now have some very sharp sweater twins at school. E.P.C.H.S. is also putting out the star jitterbugs of Greater Peoria now that we are taking lessons from Miss Werner. The Student Council had a brainstorm lately and we are now having dances after basketball games. It's the best thing that's happened all year. After a victory, we can dance io celebrate, and after a defeat, we dance to forget. They are planning to have a student discussion of courtesy in the halls during courtesy week, I wonder what will be said about the famous upper hall. Well, Joe, wish Wilbur a happy new year. MABEL. FEBRUARY Dear Joe: The valentine you sent me was so sweet that I made up a little verse for you. Of all the things on earth I love From Sinatra to Irish stew, There just ain't one I love as much As I am lovin' you. Be my Valentine! I beg your pardon, thank you, sir, and excuse me, please are a few of the phrases replacing the familiar one side or a leg off, kid, look where you're go- ing, you goof, and stop shovin', bub around the halls of E.P.C.H.S. Courtesy week has come and gone, but it has left behind visible changes. The students gave discussions of courtesy in the halls, assemblies, and busses, and believe me, there was room for improvement in all three. There were several sharp social func- tions this month. The seniors gave a very zoot valentine party, and lots of E. P. stags and hags cut some mean ones at the dance the Student Council sponsored. Since Miss Werner has been conducting her dancing classes here at school, we have some sleek jivers. Well, Joe, I have to go pick up some pa- per for the waste paper drive. Tell Wil- bur happy birthday. BYO, MABEL. Ninety-one MARCH Dear Joe: For I am Irish, too! Sure and me mither's name wasn't Murphy for nothing! Yep, St. Patrickls day has come and gone, and aside from a growing dis- like for the color green, I am left with no ill ef- fects. Basketball is now in its last lap, and our season has been pretty successful. Our flashy Raiders have done all right by E.P. Will we get far in the tournaments ? Keep your fingers crossed for us! Say, Joe, you'd be surprised at what a chemist lim becomingg I'm beginning to get the hang of it, finally. Of course, Mr. Smith still shudders eve1'y time I walk into the lab.-I wonder why? I had a little trouble with my bunsen burner yes- terday. I almost set the school on fire fthe stu- dents are trying to hire me nowj but I guess my eyebrows will grow back in, sooner or later. Social shindlgs for this month were really many. The juniors, sophomores and even those not-so- green freshies gave a class party. Although We seniors were not invited, they tell a good time was had by all. Well, Joe, this isn't getting my studies done, so l'd better start hitting the ball. Give my love to Wilbur. As ever, MABEL, APRIL Dear Joe: I have just been disillusioned! I know it will have a drastic effect on my future life. I'll never be the same again: in fact, I have nothing more to live for since my mother told me there is no Easter bunny-oh, cruel, cruel world! Since eggs are so high this year, she decided it would be cheaper to tell me. Also, Joe, l'm proud to announce that I have recently been voted April's most prominent fool by the faculty and students of East Peoria. Bill Bush gave me a close race, but I won out. Of course, I had to wear my clothes backwards for a week, but it was worth it. Lovers' lane fthe upper hall to youj is packed to overflowing, with new couples being added all the time. Many of these same couples were seen at the Junior Prom this month stumbling on long formals and tugging at their neckties. Really, though, the prom was very nice. I wish you could have been he1'e. The seniors gave a very good play this year. Yes, I take my hat off to the senior class. They seem to do everything well, I am told iby mem- bers of the senior class, of coursej. Seriously, though, they did a beautiful job. I am very sorry to hear about Wilburg give him my regards. MABEL. N inety-two 1 'k4' 1 'ii Tp' 1 fn, 'iw' f W ka! 'S' MAY Dear Joe: Allow me to inform you that you are now corresponding with a very sophisticated alumna of East Pe- oria High Calmostj. I've been very busy lately, running around the school bidding all my teachers a fond farewell, and thanking them for putting up with me these past four years. Then, they grin in a half-hearted way and mutter something about not counting chickens before they're hatched. In plain words, you ain't got your diploma yet, Bubf'-We poor misjudged seniors. The big social event this month was the Senior Hop, and quite an affair it was, too. The hepcats all came looking very sleek, spent the evening jitterbugging their silly heads off, and left looking like they had spent an afternoon in Bergner's basement on dollar day. The EPOCH also came out this month. The school was a madhouse with Raiders and Raiderettes dashing around madly for autographs. It was really a swell book this year, o11e that we East Peorians can well be proud of. Tomorrow is a pretty important day for me, Joeg it's graduation. I've got my cap and gown and I'm all ready. Graduating gives you an awfully queer feeling doesn't it, you feel glad and sorry both at the same time. I'm even a little bit scared. Who isn't? VVell, so long, Joe, and so long E.P.C.H.S. MABEL. P.S,fHow do you like these snaps l've been sending you? IJon't you get a buzz out of our sweater twins? Did you recognize the janitors? Take a look at our all-state hero, Ferris, and some of his running mates. Can you find me? l'm on page 43. Ninety-three -. aJ o2-ff 6Wf K , g ?
