Frankfort Community High School - Red Bird Yearbook (West Frankfort, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1942 volume:

OF F. C. H. S. 'MINORS 7 this book to the faithful friend of many generations from whose fields have sprung the towns of Southern Illinois; to the one who has nurtured West Frankfort from a tiny settlement to a thriving city; to the one whose funds have provided our schools, the First Line of Defense; to the guardian of our churches, which protect our faith in the future; to Old King Coal, our benefactor. We, the Senior Class, hope you enjoy your journey with Little Frankie through the 1942 RED BIRD Frankie Bows When Mr. Sullivan Says: Where Vision Fails, There People Perish If any community is to be economically self-supporting, it must derive its sustenance from its own industry. So long as it fails to do this it will be a burden for its support upon the larger economic organization of which it is a part. The West Frankfort community has two natural resources upon which it must rely for its economic wellbeing. They are coal and agriculture. It also has an abundant supply of intelligent labor. The possibilities of these three resources have hardly been touched. Coal as West Frankfort knows it is a fuel only. No effort has been made in this community to process coal into its hundreds of by-products. Agriculture has been shunned because in the past it has failed to provide the kind of living desired by most young people of the present day. Little has been done to raise agriculture to the plane of scientific farming and no effort has been made in our community to process agricultural products into their many industrial uses, that is, to farm for industry. As a result of these failures to make the most of our natural resources the employment outlets for our youth have been so few that most of our youth after graduating from high school have left the community to seek employment elsewhere. A high school graduate represents a minimum investment of ten thousand dollars of this community’s resources. From the strictly economical point of view up to the time of his graduation he has been a community liability. At the very time that he reaches the capacity of becoming a community asset he leaves the community to become valuable working capital for the community into which he goes. His new community begins immediately to capitalize upon the investment made in him by this community. With scores of young people leaving this community every year to become intelligent labor elsewhere the magnitude of ARLIE MURPHY, Member Cashier, Benton Bank LEO McDONALD, President Merchant H. B.

If the West Frankfort community is to maintain a favorable balance of trade” it must do two things. First, it must through some leadership catch a vision of the future which will awaken this community not only to its possibilities, but to its absolute necessities if it is to be economically self-supporting. With this vision it must acquire a faith in its future and the courage to do those things necessary to guarantee that future. Second, it must build industries on the foundation of its natural resources such as will provide outlets for employment and keep our ablest young people at home. This means the establishment of both coal and agricultural processing plants which will enable us to use our natural resources not only for fuel and food but for their hundreds of industrial uses as well. This will furnish employment outlets for our scores of young people who are graduating from our high school and leaving this community every year. When this time comes our school will try to keep pace with the needs of its community and will establish vocational courses to train for the skills needed in the particular industries which our community offers. “FACE (Eac ZOE E.

They contributed their bit for the good of the F.C.H.S. mine, and the following year proudly took their places as Shot Firers. The next year they did their part and this time were raised to Trip Riders. Many is the trip they rode for the good of the mine. Their goal was in sight. And now it was there—they were Track Layers. Bob Minton took over as general superintendent to begin the year right. The mighty football machine of '42 provided them with foreman, Heza Hindman and his husky aides, George lubelt, Earl Martin, with John Gouse coming over from the basketball division. Miss Betty Turner ruled as Queen of Beauty with Geraldine Fife and Pansy Jo Moss as her beauteous attendants. Their activities were directed by Mrs. Winifred Henson and Mr. R. L. Crowell. American Passport directed by Miss Alice Hoye, was a smash hit, and proved their dramatic ability. Neva Woolard completed a successful four year career as cheerleader. The football and basketball teams were sprinkled generously with Track Layers. They had enjoyed a glorious four years, and now, equipped with all the experience the mine could give them, they prepared to continue laying tracks in the outside world. Track Layers (Seniors) 9 How Dear Was My Hometown Homeward bound to an Old King Coal Festivall Just as though the clock had turned back its hands to several years ago, I would once again be a child, joining the gaiety and merriment of the townspeople, frolicking at their annual festival. The very thought was exciting. Now I was drawing nearer. I had just passed the delightful Benton creek, so typical of Benton. Familiar sights, sounds, and smells were helping me remember the good old days. A lady hitch-hikerl It couldn’t be, but it was—Ernestine Cox. who had run away to become a torch singer. Well, here we were at last. My own town. But it was changedl Different. All I could see were skyscrapers—four stories high The sign on the building said, Martin Martin. Attorneys at Law,” and under that, We handle divorce cases, but delicately I Paul and Bill Martin, of course. Who else would try to make W. F. another “big little city' like Reno? But wait! There was a commotion in the street. It was friend Dayton McReaken trying to arrest three women for stealing fireballs. Looked like Ruby Matthews. Esther Stacey, and Marcella Willard Well, time changes everything. Passing Barrett's, I noticed a sign, Eat Jam and Jelly with Paul Margelli.” My old enemy had done well for himself. I parked my Hudson and went in. A tall, thin gentleman came forward to greet me. It was P. M. He was so pleased he ordered my dinner ‘’on the house.'' Imagine! An all-girl orchestra, with Mary Lou Hudgens conducting, then came on the platform. Mary Lou sang the theme song. “Elmer's Tune, and I could see Willie Lois Perkins tootin' the trumpet, Jane Swofford beatin' on the drums, Aileen Chamness swingin' on the sax, Edith Thompson giving the piano the boogie-woogie, and little Alice Thompson hittin' the big bass viol. What was the world coming to? I sauntered down the street casually. A tinkling chime caught my attention. It was the Good Humor Man, Wallace Reid. Jr., decked out in white, and selling ice cream. Half a block down, I espied John Thomas Rowles, uniformed in the same way Walking past the State Theatre, I observed the ad: Bob Rawson and His Swinging Cowgirls in “Rawson Rides Again starring Betty Johnson. Helen Foder. Mary Henderson, Ruth King, and Evelyn Burpo. Passing the popcorn stand, I heard Dorothy Tweedy's voice crooning, “Popcorn, 10c a bag. tax included! Eating popcorn, I continued down Main Street. Attracted by the lovely clothes in the window and “Bob Burg, Mgr ‘ I entered Burg's just in time to see the fashion show. Tall, beautiful girls were gliding past, among whom I recognized Pat Sadnavich, Lizzie Mae Hughes, Evelyn O'Neil, Margaret Short. Imogene Will, and Pearl Crow Local beauty wasn't bad at alll Across the street at the Strand Theatre the bill-of-fare shouted: “See Glamour King and Queen of the Movies, Hezzy Hindman and Eva Mae Rennie, in ‘If I Could Only Dance Like Louie.’ Looking in the Rosalie Shop, I saw Maurice “Seabiscuit” Holland washing the windows. He told me he'd made a career of it—even had seven assistants: Joe Falletti, Wilbur Nickelvich. Bill Moore. George Iubelt, John Parkhurst, Garldine Rose, and Bennie Roe. I detoured to the city hall to get a drink of water, only to find Clarence Freeman vigorously sweeping up the dust. He had been elected janitor unanimously. Hearing violent language. I walked past the bars and saw Frankie Bataitus sitting therein. He was in for bigamy, for marrying Rosemary McCloskey and Mary Millikan. His companion in misery, I noticed, was Tubby Tefft. whose reason for being there was too. too obvious. Back to Main Street. I saw that Mason Willmore had betrayed his own by going over to the American Brokerage to buy some work socks. Lee Nestler had become famous on the Nestler-Newberry, Inc. sign. The Dimmick Hotel was featuring a famous orchestra from Hollywood, “Moan Groan” with Walter Stone and his Thirteen Little Rocks. For curiosity's sake, I went in. First. I saw Lulu Levanti shining shoes, and second. James Avery, sitting majestically at the clerk's desk. In the ballroom, ostentatiously done in cardinal and grey, an act was going on. Gene Glenn was giving his rendition of “Mammy” with a sob in his voice, and a teardrcp in his eye. But touching! Next came a tap dancer who looked very much like Harold Eldridge. and then the Four Glammer Gals, Oralene McReaken. Corine Hudson, Mary B. Sumner, and Jewel Wall, sang “Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat.” The band then struck up a fanfare and a flock of lovely chorines began a ballet dance. Among them I saw Anna Lee Taylor, Eloise Munsell, Marilyn Miller. Margaret Ruscin, Imogene Russel, and Helen Rymza. The show was over and people were dancing again. I especially noticed Connie “Krupa” Smith, Darrell “Dorsey” Wearmouth, and Matt Miller” King, and their cute featured singer. Jinny “Simms” Wilkinson. Louise Vineyard and Allan Edmonds were celebrating their wooden wedding anniversary, and at the next table I heard Pansy Jo Moss announce her engagement to J. B. Willmore Bill Childers and Hugh Gifford had eyes only for two—. I went out for a last general glimpse of the merrymaking, and looking over the scene, realized that forever and always, natives of West Frankfort, would return—again and again to the land of Old King Coal. 10 Row I: John T.

They have taken out the desirable qualities such as Cooperation, Friendliness and Courtesy and have discarded the Ash and Sulphur. Now they are the Shot Firers. At first, some almost needed a stick of dynamite set to them to get started, but most all were fired with ambition and the dynamite was cast aside, for they were all shooting for a certain desired goal. When all had become organized, Mr. S. A. Changnon and Miss Alice Hoye were hired as overseers of the crew. The foremen chosen were President, Eugene Holland; Vice-President, Joe Hughes; and Secretary-Treasurer, Bud Roby. The Shot Firers' contributions to the Homecoming court were two Sparkling Flames of Beauty; Betty Gore and Inez Smith. When the blast was shot at the beginning of the year, no one knew what would come from it, but by the time the Shot Firers' goals are reached in '44, some of the most precious minerals will be obtained.

They're new They started at the bottom and have been gradually working up. Of course, they haven't been here long and they're still in the dark. Those Rock Pickers have had a heavy job. First, they picked out the tools with which to work. Next they established themselves, and then got down to work. They picked out the shale and rock, namely timidity, unfriendliness, lack of concentration, etc. There was an assembly called at which they picked out members of their group for foremen: Head Foreman—John W. Jones; Second Foreman—Eugene Wells; Third Foreman—Maxine Shostrom. Toward the last part of the football season they selected two of the prettiest and most popular Rock Pickers for attendants to the football Queen. I said pretty, so they HAD to be girls—Gloria Cornia and Donnie Dorris. They surely did look good parading down the aisle illuminated by a spot-light. The Rock Pickers have been improving right along in their work, and they think fat least they hope 1 !1) that next year they will be Shot Firers; if they are, you'll hear more from them.

The Student Body President is presiding officer of the council. Members are elected by all the students of F.C.H.S., and serve for a period of one year. The Council operates under a constitution made by the members of the first council. It is advisory, not administrative, in nature. The chief objectives are to develop student responsibility, initiative, leadership and school pride; to provide for student expression; to promote worthy citizenship training in the school; to centralize and develop student activities; and to provide a representative organization for the student body. In line with ihe present emphasis upon democracy in school administration, there is a great interest today in student participation in school activities. The sponsors of the Council are H. W. McClintock, R. L. Crowell, and E. L. Bain. Front Row: Mr McClin-tock, Max Morris. Ernestine Cox. Margaret Patterson, Secretary; Laura McGurty, Virginia Wilkinson, Patty Davis.

PANSY JO MOSS Junior Attendants MARGARET PATTERSON, SHIRLEY CRUSE Sophomore Attendants BETTY GORE, INEZ SMITH Freshman Attendants DONNIE DORRIS, GLORIA CORNIA Amid suspense, as the evening's entertainment drew to a close, all eyes were turned to the left aisle of the auditorium in search of the answer to the most pressing question of the moment, WHO WILL BE QUEEN? Preceding Her Royal Highness to the throne, came the Royal Court, led by Mary Ellen Kinison, retiring queen, on the arm of Louis Levanti, co-captain of the football team. Then came Donnie Dorris and Gloria Comia, Freshman attendants, followed by Betty Gore and Inez Smith, Sophomore attendants; then, Margaret Patterson and Shirley Cruse, Junior attendants. Pansy Jo Moss, Senior Lady-in-Waiting preceded Geraldine Fife, Maid of Honor. Immediately preceding Her Royal Highness came Crown Bearer Jimmy Tripp and Football Bearer Robert Eadie, Jr. Flower Girls, Abigail Stone and Meredith Ann Mitchell sprinkled flowers before the Homecoming Queen of 1941. Suspense was ended and the question answered as beautiful Betty Turner, escorted by football co-captain, Heza Hindman, came down the aisle. Amidst a clamor of applause, the two proceeded to the throne, where she was crowned and kissed according to the old F.C.H.S. tradition. Her Majesty was charming in a billowing gown of white taffeta. The royal crown, nestled among her blond curls, with a background of blue, made a most alluring picture. 43 RED BIRD ’42 Few people appreciate the great amount of time and painstaking effort expended in the preparation of an annual for a school the size of F.C.H.S. The biggest problem is to stay within our financial budget, enlarged only by student subscriptions. Because we must wait until major school events take place, work must be done on a scheduled basis in an attempt to record by word and photograph a permanent book of school memories. Our publisher, Mr. J. W. Patterson, re marked, I receive more favorable comments on the Red Bird than on any other yearbook of the same price range.'1 RED BIRD NOTES Each year, Frankie says, the school is getting more and more conscious of the importance of the school paper.

DYNAMITERS (Red Peppers) 46 As ' head driller for sports, coach Changnon came to F.C.H.S. in 1935 with little hope of unearthing valuable athletic materials. Nevertheless that year due to determination, cooperation and good sportsmanship, his eleven champion products were mined. Since that time he has superintended five crews that have yielded champion outputs. This year the Red Birds were undefeated and were the highest scoring team in Illinois. DRILLERS (Coaches) Harlan C Hodges, track coach and assistant in coaching football and basketball, has had many track championships since coming to F.C.H.S. His second teams in football and basketball left an impressive record. “Mac McClintock, assistant coach, has been a member of the coaching staff for many years and provided good material indeed for Hodges and Changnon to use later. Mr. Chenoweth and Mr. Tripp help coach the Freshmen in football; Bob Eadie with his pencil and score book kept the statistics for the team. 47 Excellent Products by Careful Drilling FOOTBALL ROSTER 1941 (See Pictures on page 48) Name Year in School Height Weight Position Outstanding Merits HINDMAN (C) Sr. 5'9 185 Tackle Harmon's and Daily News IUBELT Sr. 5’8 170 Tackle All State Honorable Mention Daily EDMONDS, A.

MADRIGAL SINGERS: Esther Simpson Charlotte Rauback, Clarence Freeman Martha Fickas, Paul Margelli, Virginia Wilkinson, Elma Millikan, Mr. Davis. Frankie Savs: This past year has been full of work and fun for the members of the vocal department. I've been on the run constantly to keep up with them. During the fall Mr. Davis was busy choosing the members for the department. A little later they settled down to work toward their main goal ... to win first in all the contests. On Hallowe'en Eve the mixed chorus had a swell time playing at being ghosts and goblins. They also ate. During the Christmas season, Mr. Davis led a group of students in caroling. They sang under my window and even though they woke me from sleep, I enjoyed every note of it. The next day at the mines I overheard some of the miners bragging about their kids Together Sing that were singin' carols last night. They were justified in their pride. The vocal students had a chance to show what they could do at the Vocal Clinic held at Carbondale in February, and 1 must say that they conducted themselves in such a way as to honor F.C.H.S. All our vocal ensembles won a first place rating at the district contest. They were judged by Harold Decker, director of music at a college in Alton, 111. Solo Events: Solos awarded first division rating are as follows: Soprano: Esther Simpson, Evelyn Burpo; Contralto: Elma Millikan, Jean Anderson; Tenor: Paul Margelli; Bass: Clarence Freeman; Second place rating: Mezzo Soprano: Patty Griffin.

The band is a very active organization and performs for all events sponsored by the school. During the past year this organization has appeared more than fifty times in public, including the various musical contests of our state. Orchestra Although the orchestra is small in number, it is mighty in its musical performance and service to the school. This fine musical organization, composed of the outstanding musicians of the instrumental department, has played for many school activities this past season, such as the Junior and Senior plays and special patriotic programs. This organization has complete instrumentation which enables it to perform the highest type of music and also modern popular numbers. Theodore W. Paschedag is the director. 64 Heart of F. C. H. S.
