✓ Preston and iot left us during the year. Mr. Beardsley was our first man teacher and we made the most of our opportunities. It was amazing, the number of girls who began staying after school to check oapers and tidy up the room. Perhaps It was explained by the fact that he took them home afterward. I guess we failed though, because he Joined the Navy and got a Job showing Waves around New York at the end of the year. At the beginning of the freshman year, our role stood as follows: Miriam Bates, Maxine Book, Madeline Bresson, Brenda Burgess, Beverly Bush, Pat Cartwright, Robert Chrlstler, David Franz, Emily Gillespie, Donna Guthrie, Duane Haney, Norma Hughes, Helen Kramer, LaVerne Krleger, Ed Llskovec, Gertrude Lockwood, Vera Lowe, Ellis McConnohle, A1 and Bob Nelson, Robert Perkins, Ana Pike, Barb Preston, Prances Rapp, Ardls Ras¬ mussen, Joanne Thomas, Matle Vise, and Charlotte Wagner. Barb became our bearded lady (none of the boys even had peach fun). Norma was starred In a side show as Dangerous, Dark, and-Bolng! Mr. Good¬ rich was our advisor. We were so sweet that he decided to get married before the year was over and raise several of his own. We fooled him! Walter Gorsllne took over as sophomore advisor. Bob and A1 Nelson, Madeline, Helen, Matle, and Ardls left us. George Carson and Russell Allen Joined us for a short time each. Pedro left because he couldn ' t keep awake long enough to stagger from class to class. Russell gave Ana the old rush and gave us all a Juicy pelce of gossip to chew for a while. Oh—not that we gossip! Peggy Worst came as our bareback rider. Whe was always riding a hobby—usually men . We broke the era of 17 record dances by sponsoring a counle of danoes featuring Red McConnohle and His Swlngsters . They maybe weren ' t so good, but they ware sure enough noisy. And we mustn ' t forget Fred Guldemond who left the frus¬ trated freshmen flat to become our India Rubber Man. Under Miss Wllllts our Junior year we put on our first really suc¬ cessful performance In the form of a play. We were lucky enough to get Felld Day Concessions, the result being a lot of fun and a big pro¬ fit. Needless to say, we liked both. We held the banquet here. We didn ' t mind the work—--our mothers did It. Bob Crlstler and Bud Franz took extra subjects and graduated a year ahead of us. Show-offs! Jim Wiley was a minister ' s son, and during the year he spent with us we were all deeply impressed by his quiet, benevolent manner. Then came the moment suoreme. We were seniors! Our troup of per¬ formers Is reaching the cllmas. We must advertise! So Into our midst we took that talented young commercial artist, Doris Herrington, who left after a short stay. Pat Wenger also Joined us for a while, but Mr. Plummer, advisor, wore her down with prattle about school work, so she left. The armed service saw the practically manless condition of our class and gave us Jim Walker, strong man and bouncer, Jim Harley, sword swallower, Irwin Campbelle, malnfealnance man, and Bob Llskovec, who came as a quieting Influence on his wild brother Ed. Consequently, at this point we have In our class Miriam Bates, Brenda Burgess, Donna Guthrie, Joanne Thomas, Pat Cartwright, Charlotte Wagner, Norma Hughes, Barbara Preston, Peggy Worst, Vera Lowe, Gertrude Lockwood, Beverly Bush, Ana Pike, Jim Walker, Fred Guldemond, Jim Harley, Ellis McConnohle, LaVerne Krleger, Bob Llsdovec, Ed Llskovec, and Irvin Campbelle. We found that senior plays can be as much fun as Junior plays and that the Juniors can give a prom and banquet almost as good as ours. We began to see how much we have enjoyed performing together and taking trips together and worrying about exams together and doing all the things that make us want to stay. But the time has come when the troup must part and each performer make his own way In the wicked world, so to Galesburg High-Goodbye-and thanks! t u A i V
