I am the assembly clock that has been ticking off the hours at S.C.H.S. for these past years. You say that clocks don't talk? Meet the exception to this rule. I have broken the rule because I want to tell you the history of the class of 1947. Besides I am getting sick of the same old tick-tock. It's monotonous. The story begins like this. I had been spending the summer of 1943 very peacefully, too peacefully for that matter. I craved some excitement and change, and that is exactly what I got. On September 1, I woke up with a very strange spectacle before my eyes. I saw a group of twenty-five very stupid-looking, gangling youngsters. This must be the new freshman class, I thought to myself. Immediately this new group captured my interest. I knew that I would enjoy the next four years of my life with the aid of these greenies. I liked this freshmen classg they had ambition written all over them. I learned through a notice on the bulletin board who their class ofiicers were. President .................,.................. Norma Warrick Vice President ....... ........ R olland Light Secretary ............. ................. W ilbur Yana Treasurer ...............i .,................. P atricia Goin Student Council ............ Phyllis Schlotman and Dean Hungness i p Class colors .............,............ Maroon and White Their class motto confirmed by first conception of this class. It was: Not to the top, but climbing. I really did like the way these boys and girls went out for the activities and sports. There was no grass growing under these young feet. Their first year ended much too swiftly for me, and the summer seemed to creep by. Then on a very bright September morning, I was awaken by the shouting of voices. Yes, school had once more begun. In my excitement upon seeing my now sophomore friends, I almost broke my main spring. Yes, there they were again just as carefree and go-getting as ever. I noticed that Ronald Smith and Andrew Fry were no longer present in the class ranks, but in their place was Jean Stevens, a newcomer, from Rockport, Indiana. ' This year the class oflicers were: President ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,.,,... N 011113 Warrick Vicg President ,,,,,,,. ....... F ern RiCl'liSOI1 Secretary ,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,....,........,,............ Nina Hall Treasurer ,,,,,,,,...,,,,,,,,,,,.....,.....,.. Cyril DOHOIIUC The momentum of things increasedthis term. Besides all of the other activities, some of the classmates received real recognition in the sports world. Dean Hungness, Robert Smith, and John Clark won places on the varsity basketball team, while Frances Busick and Norma Warrick became cheerleaders. The class had a picnic, a dance, and took a great part in adding a new kind of sparkling zip to the high school atmosphere. But, alas, summer vacation again came, and- I was left for three more bare and lonely months. I need not tell you how happy I was to ring my bell designating the first day of school in the fall of 1945. My heart sunk when I discovered the absence of Robert Smith, Ray Burton, and Don Smartzg Ray and Don had been taken by the Army. This scar in the class was F 1947 t - .Shame camoudaged by Wavel Mabbitt and Irma Royce. Class officers were for their junior year: President .................................. Norma Warrick Vice President ...,... ............. F ern Richison Secretary .,.......... . ........ Phyllis Schlotman Treasurer ......................,........,,.,..... Wilbur Yana I practically burst my glass shield with pride this year. Cyril Donohue was added to the varsity basketball squad with Dean and John. Every minute that I pass, one of these juniors was on the go. They were in Dramatics, Sheco Staff, Glee Club, G.A.A., basketball, track baseball, F.F.A., band, tennis. Phyllis Schlotman was the Glee Club pianist. Then they really poured forth their talents with one of the best proms and banquets ever presented at S.C.H.S. My friend, Gym Clock, told me all about it. They really had things fixed up right. The theme of their prom was Blue Moon while the banquet was given as an Indian feast. Their stunt night was nothing to be shunned either. Summer again, but this time when September came I was wide awake waiting for my friends to enter the assembly for their final year. I did not know until then how attached to these kids I had become. There they were full-fledged seniors in all their glory. Missing from the group were Gerald Magruder, Charles Gaiiield, Bill Garner, Ada Brown, and Irma Royce, Virginia Walsh of Chicago and Kathryn Sowers of Donovan took their places as new students in the senior class. I felt very depressed when I thought that this would be their last year where I could watch and enjoy their antics. Yet whenever I was thus dejected, I would always perk up and start gaining time when one of them came into view. The senior officers were: - President ..,......... ......... D ean I-Iungness Vice President ....... ..........,... J ohn Clark Secretary .......................,.......... Norma Warrick Treasurer ..,....................,,....,.......... Wilbur Yana These seniors were all polished leaders with brains in their heads. They were oiiicers in every organization. Dean, Cyril, and John played on the first five of the winning Ram team. Other seniors won awards and claimed recognition in several contests and clubs. Phyllis Schlotman was again pianist for the Glee Club. Indeed I am proud of this class of 1947. They gave a riotous play called Quiet Everybody . It was acclaimed as a smash hit. The Shehian on which thev worked so hard was a masterpiece of perfection. I had almost adopted them as my children. Then one spring night I heard the soft strains of Pomp and Circumstance ' pouring its melodic strains through the corridors. My entire system stopped. No, it couldn't be, I said, but the inevitable had come. This grand group of boys and girls were marching up to receive their one-way tickets, in the form of diplomas, into the world of their own choosing. I felt I would never be able to move my hands againg but then I knew that, when this class of 1947 entered into the world, they would be making time move as it should. They would still be leaders making improvements and making life happy for some other clock. I know life in S.C.l-I.S. will never be the same without that group of laughing, friendly kids. They will give and receive great happiness in the professions they choose no matter what they may be: marriage, clerical work, nursing, journalism, law, engineering, farming, medicine, etc. I shall forever remember this class with ever minute which passes. The best of luck to the class of 1947. 1 -Norma Warrick. SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1947, being of inadequate minds and disorderly bodies, do hereby draw up our last will and testament, signed and sealed on this 31st day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen-hundred and forty-seven. ARTICLE I . We, the Seniors, leave our seats in the west side of the assembly to the juniors. We 1947 Shwmn leave our aptness in financial affairs to them also. We, the Seniors, give our ability to cut up and act like maniacs to the sophomore class. We, the Seniors, hand our quiet assembly manners to the freshmen. We, the Seniors, will to the remaining students in Sheldon High School our pictures in the library, our marked-up books, our dates, our cars, our jokes, and the faculty. ARTICLE II Virginia Walsh gives her athletic ability and strength to Phyllis Morgan. Her cheerful ways go to Betty Brown. Donald Faupel wills his women-hating mind to Teener Mayotte. His jokes are given to Don Arseneau along with his giggle. Rolland Light bestows his motor scooter to Mr. Hollingsworth. His numerous Good- land admirers are left to Benny Mabbitt, Robert Young, Fox Busick, and Don Arseneau who already have a fine start. Cyril Donohue wills his kelly green shirt to any other true Irishman. His cute grin goes to Bob Long. W Helen Gaffield gives her ability to make A's in shorthand to future commercial students. She presents her attitude towards the male species to Janice Allsbaugh. l Wilbur Yana leaves his keen sense of humor to Betty Hall. His blonde hair and business-like manner go to Eddie Johnson. Pat Goin bequeaths her conversational aptitude to Ruby Cunningham. Her seat in world history class goes to next year's history students with the guarantee that it is only slightly used. Wavel Mabbitt honors Frank Clark with her ability to talk at a record-breaking speed. fMaybe Frank could combine this characteristic with his singing talent and become another Phil Harrisl. To the sophomore girls Wavel leaves her brother, Benny. Rosalie Meents gives her ability to really change from a jolly junior to a dignified senior to Retha Connor. She leaves to Pete O'Connor her artistic abilities and her secret of getting a.ong with Mrs. Somerville. Kathryn Sowers leaves her walk to Joanne Courtright. She leaves her high I. Q. to all of the lower classmen along with her characteristic of the eye-brow lifting. Dean Hungness wills his beard to any freshman having trouble with peach fuzz. His weakness for blondes and his build go to Johnny Fry. Jean Stevens awards her.long hair to Letha Connor plus her athletic talents.

Frannie's spindle-shanks and her winning personality go to Velma Berry. Doris Glasgow gives Louie Mae Wilson her title of ping pong champion. Her heighth goes to her cousin, Verna Mae Ewen. Norma Warrick wills her red hair and her love for red-headed men to Jean Hungness. Her boisterous laugh and gum-cracking go to Emma Jane Goosey. John Clark relinquishes his eccentric ways to Jimmy Johnson. His permanent wave machine goes to Bill Strickler who would probably look very cute with curls. Nina Hall gives her ability to go steady to Betty Foster. Her charm and sweetness go to Don Smartz, plus her commercial talents. Fern Richison bestows her griping about English themes to future students. Her love for horses is presented to Paul Clawson along with her sparkling soprano voice. Ronald Lambert wills his scientific mind to Phyllis Brubaker. He leaves Glenna in the hands of the Mabbitt boys thinking he has done a wise thing. Phyllis Schlotman honors Jack Kirk and Joe Eagle with her talents at the keyboard, Her feminine ways go to Betty Dayle Garfield. The senior class leaves its brilliant minds to future Sheldon High School students, and we hope they will enjoy their days in Alma Mater as well as we have. To the teachers, we hope we have left many pleasant memories. In witness hereunto. we do hereby set out hand and seal this 29th day of May, in the year of our Lord. nineteen hundred and forty-seven. NVitnesses: Class of 1947. l?47 SMaaaw SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It is now 1957, and I have conducted a little tour of the class of 1947 to see what each senior of that year is now doing. Settle back, and I shall proceed to tell you of my findings. Dean Hungness, who always wanted to follow in his fatheris footsteps, is now a well-known tree surgeon living in deep, dark Africa. He married his childhood sweetheart, Joanne McKimson, much to the surprise of his friends in the jungle. Fern Richison has established a career of her two great loves. She, too, is a doctorg she is a horse veterinarian. Fern is so infatuated with her work she is planning to marry Roy Rogers so that she will be close to Trigger and see that he is kept in good condition. Virginia Chick Walsh has made a great name for herself in the opera. She is a noted ballet dancer, and her name has been changed to Baroness Richoff. Her husband, Take-off, will conduct the orchestra in her next appearance at the Metropolitan Opera House. Wilbur Yana is doing very fine for himself, too. He is manager of the John Powers's models, and he seems to enjoy his work immensely. Wilbur has been married to three of the Powers's lovelies. Next month he plans to try the matrimonial field again in his marriage to the six foot four model, Cri Cri LaSage. Another 1947 Sheldon senior to follow in his father's footsteps is Ronnie Lambert. Ronnie is coiffure stylist in Hollywood. His hair styles are noted throughout Europe and America. His charming way with his feminine customers accounts for much of his popularity. Remember how Phyllis Schlotman had such musical talent in high school? Well, it wasn't wasted. She is now pianist for Spike Jones and his City Slickers. In her spare time, she runs a bowling alley in the Bronx. 4 Helen Gaffield seems to be making good money with her new band. Helen plays trumpet and recently put out a new recording called 'Tan Those Trumpets . Her band is the rage of the teen-agers. Cyril Donohue certainly did find an exciting career to follow. He is an explorer in the islands of the south Pacific. He met a native girl on one of his adventures and fell madly in love with her. However, the romance ended when the girl's cannibal father wanted Cyril to stay for dinner. fThe special on the menu was Irish stew .l Wavel Mabbitt has found a good job on the radio. She is known as The Friendly Advisor by her public, she is on the Life Can Be Miserableu program. Wavel is married and has four problems of her own not including her husband. Guess what Doris Glasgow is doing now. She is teaching skunk farming to the members of the F.S.A. fFuture Stinkers of Americaj. In her spare time, Doris works on experiments for the Chenile No. 5 Perfume Company. Doris has brought some very different odors from her farm into the laboratories of the perfume company. Nina Hall has obtained fame in the rodeo world and she is now the champion broncho buster of Arizona. She also found a great thrill in the collection of bugs. She has a very marvelous collection of mil.ers. Norma Warrick hasn't been doing very well for herself recently. For a while she was doing great work running a city dump, but a few months ago she was arrested. Norma was accused of shaving the heads of twenty-three red headed men. Upon examination by a psychologist, the doctor said that these attacks were brought on by some childhood affliction. You can't imagine what Don Faupel is doing now. He has made his name one of the greatest in the world of artists. Don is a famous painter who makes the works of Rembrandt look like amateur work. The women are especially fond of Don because of his eccentric ways and his little black mustache. However, Don already has a wife. He is married to Jean Stevens, a former classmate. When Jean isn't posing for one of her husband's masterpieces, she dances at the Club 88. Her night club name is t'Snafu , and she specializes in Oriental dances. CDon and Jean said that their romance had been going on since high school, but they had kept it a secret.J Rolland Light has made a big name for himself on the California coast. Rollie is a 1947 Shwmn millionaire beaver king. He has thirty thousand beavers building dams for him in rivers all over the United States. It is a very proiitable business if you went to take time to train your beavers. Rollie can frequently be seen in the dusk of evening throwing diamond bracelets from the top of his penthouse. Pat Goin found herself a very interesting occupation. She is a pearl diver in Cuba, a very exceptional one at that. Every year Pat stars in a diving exhibition Where she dives from the top of the crater into boiling lava two hundred feet below. Pat's husband is a very rich Cuban who disapproves of her work immensely, but Pat craves excitement and won't give up her other love. Rosalie Meents is a script writer for the mystery program Hands in the Night . Rosalie is very mysterious and spends most of her time locked in her room alone, writing for the next program. Rumors say that Rosie has been experimenting with voodoo and black magic. Katie Sowers accomplished one of her high school desires also. She is a nurse in an institute for the feeble-minded. Kate says that she likes her work there as it reminds her so much of her days at S.C.H.S. Kate is still single, but she has her eye on the cutest little kleptomaniac you ever saw . ' Frances Busick is now the proprietress of the famous night spot, Ciro's. Fran previously was the top entertainer at the Mocambo. She had so many ardent admirers that they bought Ciro's and gave it to her as a gift. Fran's stage name is Bench-legs . Perhaps one of the most interesting seniors of 1947 is John Clark. He lives in a cave high in a rocky mountain of Mexico. Some say that he lives entirely by himself as a confirmed bachelor, but others who have explored his living quarters have heard loud sounds which usually come from night clubs. This interested me so, I wrote to John's mother, and she informed me that John is far from a woman hater secluded from the world. Every week he orders twenty girls sent to him from various night clubs to entertain him along with a twelve piece orchestra which he continuously employs. So there you have what the Sheldon senior class of 1947 is doing at they present time in 1957. ESENIOR AMBITIONS J Cyril Donohue-to own a large farm of 199 2110 acres. 2.

Lowell McKimson Loot was obtained by an all-school party. More was added by selling Ram T-shirts. Some of the delinquents were members of such subversive organizations as G.A.A., F.A.A., and tDramatics Club. Several more of the yeggs, mostly males, were out for a trial at spor s. After serving a term of nine months, they received three months of light labor. Then they were sentenced to another term, but this time as sophomores. Two members escaped. One went astray, but Donald Freeman was caught and put in a larger education factor in Watseka. The leaders were this year: A President .,..,...........................,,......,..... Joe Eagle Vice President ...................... Lowell McKimson Secretary ................ .......... Phyllis Morgan Treasurer ............................,... Eleanor Wingert An opposition element, a national gang of pennant thieves, won the confidence of our leaders and absconded with all our funds, but through hard work and stubborn persistance we regained funds throughout the junior year by selling cokes and hot dogs at the basketball games until our pile of loot was replaced. . During the stretch from sophomores to juniors, we lost three more of our old gang, but managed to get another thug to join our gang. Our officers this year were as follows: President ................................ Lowell McK1mson Vice President ,.............................

Robert Young Before we end the third year of our sentence, we hope to entertain the parolled class of 1947 with a top notch shindig and feed.

Wonder what happened way back when . 1'll just flip through and find out. Here's a snapshot of the class on our first day of high school. We really were the picture of shyness and ill ease. Oh, well. September, 1945, might have been a hard month, but we pulled through and found S.C.H.S. a pretty nice place after all. Another page-a photograph of the freshmen class officers that year: President Wayne Dowden looking like an executive with powerg Vice President John Courtright with a pencil over his ear, Secretary Phyllis Brubaker with a pencil in her hand, Dorothy Williams who as treasurer had to keep an eye on the class moneyg and Miss McQueen, the class sponsor, keeping an eye on the class. Now a page with a list of the extra curricular activities. The freshmen were represented in every one: Glee Club, band, G.A.A., Dramatics Club, basketball, and tennis. Sheco clippings fill the next two pages. I-Im-ml Busy people! Freshmen class picnic, dance sponsored by freshies, freshmen hayride, freshmen gave radio show on stunt night, and freshmen enjoy class party. Sure was some swell fun. Someone must have taken a snapshot of Dorothy Williams waving goodbye to S.C.H.S. as she moved to Mount Ayr, Indiana. Helen Freeman also said farewell when she moved to Watseka, but Bill Strickler and Glenna Glasscock moved into the vacated places in the class. Just a minute while I pick up this paper. The class day program. Awards were given to some of the boys for athletics. Three scholarship letters out of the four given that year were presented to three freshmen, Phyllis Brubaker, John Courtright, and Wayne Dowden, for being on the honor roll throughout the school year.

HISTORIC EVENTS OF THE FRESHIES We started high school just last yearg There were just sixteen of us, And although we are not lonesome here, There is no one to love us. There were fifteen of us green kids In the year of '46, And twenty great big seniors To play upon us tricks. They dunked the boys and teased the girlsg We wished for our good fairy. They made us Wear such funny curls, Their books they made us carry. For ofiicers, we chose our best To guide us on our annual quest. Joanne, Frances, Don, and Paul Were voted for by all the rest. To show the others we had stuff We planned a ride upon the hay. We ended up in Glascock's yard With nary an accident on the way. We strived, we worked, we slaved and prayed Our dance would go over high, And now that it is done and paid We all just sit and sigh. 1 l We wish we were all seniors nowg We'd never have to study. We'd mosey around just like a cow Except when it wuz muddy. We wish we could be juniors And come in late each morn, Or lay around each day at school With expressions tired and worn. We would accept a sophomore's role, They're silly, but, gee whiz! We'd aim at almost any goal But these dumb things that we is. We sit way back an' reely grin To think of next year's muss. The eighth graders will be here then A wishin' they was us. Paul Clawson Joanne Courtright. 1947 Skeddcm LETTER FROM LUJJQCK One day this winter the editor of the Sheco-Hico Wrote to Johnny Lujack, famous quartenbaok of Notre Darne's footzball team, requesting that he write an' article for our school paper. The WQIIJKHIOVWH football star replied With a most inspiring article which alppe-ared in the Christmas lSSu.e of the Sheco, The students of Sheldon High were greatly thrilled to receive this manuscript, and we have printed it in this year's annual in order to preserve it word for word so that we may not forget it in years to come, SECOND HOME By Johnny Lujaack We who play on the Notre Dame football team have a deep love for our school. We consider ourselves fortunate in being associated with this great university. For Notre Dame is to us rnlor-e than an educational institutiong it is a second home, where We spend many happy years with boys like ourselves, some of Whom Will be lifetime friends. When I was a kid playing football and basketball back home in Connells- ville, Pa., my great aim in life was to go to Notre Darne. I 'figured that to play for Notre Dame would the the acme of athletic achievement. Adter I had spent some time on the Campus as a civilian, I enrolled in the Navy and was assigned to the V-12 unit at the unive-rsity. The school, its traditions, the students, began to mean much to nie. I met fellows from all parts of the ooun-tryg I was taking a prellavv courseg I was lucky enough to be ab-le te ge out for football under Coach Frank Leahy. Things were floreaiking right, Then the Navy sent me off 'Do active duty in the Atlall-tic arid G1S9Wh0I'9- All the time I was away I had one paramount aim: to return to my school some day and begin again where I had left off. I Was able to do this last surmmer. Getting hack into a routine of classes and study was 3 little difficult, but many of my old friends Were returning: Paul Lim-ont, Bolo Zilly, Bob Kelly, and others. Our footlloall lineup sounded like the on-e of three or four years back. But We had an arduous schedule: lllino-is, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Iowa, Navy, Army, Northwestern, Tulane, and Southern California, Thanks te the entire squad, to our fine coaohing staff, and to our faithful friends all over the country We have had some success this fall, but no one of us is p-rimarily responsilble for it. Our success has been due to the fact that We have Worked 'fO'8'9th9T day after day, Week after Week. And all have been animated by 'Che old Notre Dame Spirit, the will to Win. Some off our devotion to Notre Daime Went into our great eff-ort to Win over Army this fall. For two years in far corners off the world We had had to sit by While high scores were run utp- a.g'ain'st our school. A dGSiT9 to even thingsgup pushed all of us on. The moral victory vvfhich som-e people called our tie with Army vvasn't quite enough. We Will he out to Win in 19447. To be playing for this school means more to us than We can say. Like stu- dents at any other university, we comp-lain from time to time, but ea-ch Notre Dame man feels at genuine affection for his school. During the war, when We were arvvay, return to the campus was allways in our minds. N-ow that We are .back we are taking advantage of the opportunities Notre Dame offers all her students, We are enjoying our stay here While We are .going through, not Wait- ing to realize how much We like the university, the daily routine. And that, 1 think, ig the Way anyone should go through college: grasping his opportunities and ehj0YiHS 00119229 life vvhile he has lt.

GLEE CLUBS The end of the 1946-1947 school year brought down the curtain on a very successful theatrical performance, The S.C.H.S. Review. This show, which ran almost a year, brought great renown to the company of boys and girls who presented the Review. Mrs. Loretta Somerville was their director and Miss Phyllis Schlotman, the piano accompanist. The girls of the group elected officers as follows: ' President-Nina Hall Vice President-Norma Warrick 1947 SMbQua BAND First row: Betty Foster, Don Faupel, Rita Swanson, Marcia Schlotman.

The curtain rose on a beautiful stage setting. The whole chorus was attired in white robes and seated in a semi-circle on the stage. Both the director, Mrs. Somerville, and the pianist, Miss Schlotman, wore white robes, also. The choir carried black songbooks. As this was a Christmas program, the stage was decorated in traditional evergreen and candles. The front of the stage was draped in white and silver material. This was, indeed, a beautiful picture which I shall not soon forget. The choir sang traditional Christmas carols, novelty pieces, and there were several solos. A lovely piano solo was played by Mrs. Somerville. It was an excellent program: a person could tell that by the thunderous applause received by the singers when the performance was ended. This was truly a wonderful thing to see and hear. The second part of the Review was an excerpt from an opera. The Sunbonnet Girl. As the house lights were dimmed, the curtain rose on the stage setting of a garden with a small white cottage at one side. The picket fence was truly beautiful with roses climbing over it. A very moving ibut yet at times, humorousj story took place in this garden. It tells how Sue, an orphan, after many difficulties, enters and wins a music contest sponsored by the state. During all this she meets and falls in love with Bob, whose mother is the president of t'The State Federation of Music Clubs. When Sue sang of her unhappiness, and when four characters sang and danced to the Good 'Ole Days, the audience was equally enchanted. The story has a happy ending when Sue finds out that her folks have left her a valuable piece of property in Los Angeles. Both the main characters and the chorus received much applause and when the encore curtains parted and the cast stepped out, the applause almost brought down the house. Everyone praised the wonderful acting and also the excellent voices of the participants.

Jean Hungness Much of the credit for this musical production goes to the cast, but most of the credit should go to Mrs. Somerville, the director, who gave so much of her time to 1947 SMMRM make it a success. Well, that was the end of the big Review. Everyone had worked hard on it, and it was a huge success! In December, some of the boys and girls took time oif to participate in the Iroquois County Music Festival Which was held at Watseka. The girls sang for the World Day of Prayer at the Presbyterian Church on Friday, February 21. Four members of the group entered the district music contest at Hoopeston, March 29. The three vocals Were: Phyllis Brubaker, who sang Love Is The Wind 3 Jean Hungness, whose selection was The Lass With The Delicate Air , and Frank Clark, With A Dream. Phyllis Schlotman played a piano solo, Valse in G Flat by Chopin. Mrs. Somerville and four of the students, Jean Hungness, Jean Stevens, Phyllis Brubaker, and Phyllis Schlotman attended the opera in Chicago on April 26. This brings to an end the S.C.H.S. Review. It has been a Wonderful year, and We hope the coming year willlbring a grand and as glorious performance as the year of 1946-1947!

The play, Quiet, Everybody, was successfully presented October 25, 1946 after many fun packed and vigorous rehearsals directed by Miss Katherine Petersen. It all starts when Edward Homey fWilbur Yanaj returns from a hard day's work at the sore, demands peace and quiet , because Jonathan Sedgewick fRonald Lambertj, big-shot of the Grocers' Association, is coming to see his plans for a new method of canning. Complications arise because Mr. Jonathan has a phobia against bugs and animals of all sorts. When the three Homey offspring Dan, Patty, and Carol fCyril Donahue, Phyllis Schlotman and Fern Richisonj, their pals Ned Fuller, Joe Reade, Mary Jane Graham, Juanita Murray, and Diana Melville fRosalie Meents, Nina Hall, and Jean Stevensj an eccentric bug-collecting uncle, Professor Patridge fDean Hungnessj, a pie-making lady fNorma Warrickb next door, who adores the professor , a distracted Italian zoo keeper QVirginia Walshl, an escaped lion, a maid fKatherine Sowersl, who would just as soon live in an ant hillJ, a party and a dozen and one other things get under way. Mrs. Homey fligances Busickj tries to get the peace and quiet her husband demands, but it's a big or er. However, just short of wrecking both Mr. Homey's invention and his mind, the mix-up turns out amicably enough. An appreciative audience agreed at the final curtain that the play would be chalked up as a traditionally successful Senior Play. JUNIOR PROM This year the junior prom was held- on Aipril 2l5. It was a huge success as Sheldon proms always seem to be. Erverylbody ha-di a gffihd time, and the dancing music was vividly presented by Grady James and his orchestra. The juniors had a Pan-American theme with ernpfhasig. on- Mexico. There were dozing Mexicans, big somiheros, and palm USGS. This theme added muCh to the gay atmosphere and the laughing couples as they .glided So smoothly and lightly over the conffetti covered floor. The fonmals were as ev-er gracious and beautiful with the Iboys looking extra neat in their suits and tiuxedos. lt was a grand proum, and eiverylbody enjoyed' themselves greatly. Good work, juniors.

Mr. Lindholrrl The initiation of the Green Hands was held October 4 with a total of six green hands. They were Wilbur Yana, Robert Long, Robert Mabbitt, Benny Mabbitt, John Braden, and Jimmy Johnson. The work of the year began by initiating the charter members of the Stockland F.F.A. on October 8. On December 4 we joined the Stockland F.F.A. on a trip to the International Livestock Exposition and Horse Show in Chicago, Illinois. We started the year with thirteen dollars in the treasury, and we now have one hundred twenty-five dollars. This extra money was obtained by cleaning out barns on March 8 and March 15. The members completed this work with the assistance of their machinery and equipment. We also joined the Stockland F.F.A. on a trip on March 22 to the University of Illinois buildings and the experiment farms at Urbana, Illinois. We have had an active chapter this year and are looking forward to next year's activities. i -Donald Faupel. S.C.H.S.

NEW HOME ECONOMICS ROOM This last fall Mr. Courtright and the school lboard, at the advice of Mr. Edmundson. assistant state sup-erinitendent of schools, decid-ed to adopt the Smith-Hughes Five-Year Home Economics plan, Certain requirements, such as proper lighting, inrproved equipment, more space, etc., had to be fulfilled. The carpenters ha ve been Working al-m-ost all winter and have completed their work. Among the improvements are: new sinks, cupboards, new Westinghouse electric stoves, automatic Wash-er, electric roaster, and a new large size re- frigerator. We are all very proud of the new 9'C1UiDII1S11t and YOOH1. Miss Mc- Queen hopes that she will have s-ome good cooking classes now, and she cer- tainly ought to.

With these wins Sheldon was able to add two trophies to their collection. The team consisted of speed and the ability to fight when the chips were down. The members of these speedsters were Don Arsenenau and Cyril Donohue at foreward, John Clark and Harold Mayotte at guard, and Dean Hungness at center. The Rams started the season by defeating Donovan by a score of 36 to 24. On Tuesday of the next vveek vve defeated Stockland by a good rnargin- VV9 inet our Hrst defeat of the season to a strong Cissna Park team 49 to 33. After this loss we entered the conference tournament and were defeated in a very close game by Wellington. Our next game found us playing at Crescent City and winning without much trouble, our next game Was against Wel ington at Sheldon, we lost this game by a 'score Of 33 to 27- We then met Ash-Clif on our floor where we had an easy win by a margin of 70 to 24. Dean Hungness had been out up to this time with a broken foot. John Courtright had been doing a great job in his place. December 13 we journeyed to Watseka where we were handed a 43 to 21 setback. People thought we were capable of playing better basketball, and we proved so later on. The following, game was with Milford, which we lost 34 to 32 but were looking a little better all the time. On January 1 we again played Watseka in the St. Anne tournament. We again lost to them but showed a little better improvement from the last time we met them. In the evening session we lost to a very hot St. Pat team 47 to 39 but played a much better basketball game. Our team bounced back from the New Year's tournament to defeat .a nice Gilman team 59 to 35, and it looked as though our boys had really begun to get back on their feet at last. On Tuesday, January 7, we gave Stockland a good game for the first three quarters but then in the last quarter we put the game on ice with a score of 56 to 42. On Friday of the same week we defeated a very determined Donovan team 51 to 39. Now we come to the game everybody has been waiting for, the Watseka game. The Sheldon gym was packed to the rafters. Sheldon took the lead from the beginning and were never behind. The team and the crowd knew then that Sheldon was back on its feet. The boys beat Watseka by a score of 31 to 23. The following Friday we defeated the county's leading Cissna Park five after a second quarter rally to defeat them 43 to 39. On January 20 the Iroquois County Tournament started. Our iirst game matched us with Ash-Clif whom we defeated 40 to 28. With this win we moved up to meet Chebanse one of the county's leading teams. It was a hard fought game all the way. Chebanse jumped olf to a good lead and held it till the half, then Coach took over and gave the boys some- thing to think about. They came back out and began to shorten the lead that Chebanse had managed to gain in the first half. With five minutes left Sheldon took the lead and then Chebanse got two free throws and that put them in the lead by one point. Hungness took the ball out of bounds, threw it to Clark who shot a fantastic shot that went through as the horn sounded. The basket did not count and Sheldon did not play any more in the county. The score was 38 to 37. This defeat ended our six game winning streak. Our first game after the county tournament was with Milford whom we defeated in a very rough game 52 to 47, again revenging an earlier defeat. On Friday of the same week we traveled to Ash-Clif to set them down 63 to 39. Tuesday of the next week found us playing Onarga and winning again 51 to 21. February 7 we met Wellington and again revenged an earlier defeat by dropping them a 39 to 37 defeat. Tuesday of the next week we again set down Crescent City, a good small team, 60 to 37. Our last scheduled game of the year was with St. Anne at Sheldon. Some people thought St. Anne would win as they won second in the New Year tournament, but Sheldon had improved as the victory of 73 to 38 shows. On February 25 we entered the District Tournament at Wellington with a six game winning streak. Our first game was with Welington whom we defeated 31 to 23. Then we met a strong team known as the Green Hornets in the finals. After the score changed hands several times, and the smoke had settled, it found Sheldon on the long end 34 to 30. 1947 Sdedam This being the first time a Sheldon team has gone south to a district tournament, and we were victorious on our first trip southward. We entered the Regional tournament at Hoopeston and played our first game With Milford Wednesday night, March 5. We were edged out by a hard fighting Milford in the closing minutes of the game 34 to 31, after leading all the way through the game. Hoopeston won the Regional and advanced to the sectional. Sheldon did very well by defeating highly rated teams during the season. All of Sheldon is looking forward to next season and saying we had a good team.

This year the track team has yet to take part in the Conference Meet to be held in Wellington on May 7'th, We have a good chan-ce of winning the meet but should not count our chickens. Wellington should win the short races, and Sheldon is expected to come through in the hurdles, half-mile, ibroad-jumlp, and possibly the weights. Points for seconds and thirds should give us the meet. The county track meet is s-et for May 10 at ORMKS.
