GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL passes in review before IN THE 1943 BUFFALO Published by the Class of 1943 bedicatio-n CV3 TO OCR SERVICE MEN: l aced with the immediate prospect of coming to grips with a life that is real and terribly earnest, we, the Seniors of 1943, should appreciate the relatively care-free days of our high school years more than those who graduated into less perilous times. Many of you have told us how much the memories of your own high school years have meant to you. We fully realize that it is only due to your sacrifice that we are able to finish a school career and complete a picture gallery of memories which will mean just as much to us. At the same time, our faith in you has inspired us to make the best possible use of our opportunities so that the testing time of actual service will find us well prepared—we must not let you down. In recognition of that faith, we, the Senior Class of 1943, hereby dedicate the 1943 edition of Georgetown’s Buffalo to all those former students of our high school who are now in the armed forces of our country. And especially, do we wish to honor those who, during the past year, have been called upon to make a sacrifice greater than most: . . to HERMAN MORRIS, ’36, who gave his life somewhere in the broad expanse of the Pacific on August 24, 1942, and to HOWARD MORGAN, ’38, who is being held as a prisoner by the Japanese. MORRIS Some sleep in peace beneath the wave— Their noble best is done. Willingly their lives they gave That victory might be won. Some wear the weary days away Behind the prison’s bar. Oh, may our efforts haste the day That brings an end to war! Page Two Page Three Board of Education REV. C. K. SMITH President GLEN ELDER JAMES SANDERS ELMO SNOOK RALPH WEAVER We are very proud of you Seniors, members of the class of 1943. Your achievements are commendable indeed at this particular period when our spiritual, physical, and economic existence is threatened. The very best in young manhood and young womanhood is demanded. The training which you have received and the lessons you have learned in the homes of our community and at G.H.S. are the foundation stones upon which sound principles and character are built. This includes firm religious convictions, mental and physical morality, and a loyalty and patriotism which holds most sacred the blessings of liberty and freedom. Our best wishes will ever follow you. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Rev. C. E. Smith, President Pape Four Prinei pal GLENN A. DeLAND 15.Ed., M.A. Illinois State Normal University University of Illinois American Government Economics Health and Physical Education Student Council Radio Code Class Experience is a precious gift, only given a man when his hair is gone.” TO THE SENIORS OE ’43: As if in answer to your country’s call for trained manpower you approach graduation as the largest class in the history of your school. While it has fallen my lot to admonish you frequently to understand and prepare for the unusual responsibility that is about to fall upon you, your response to the need of the hour has been gratifying and reassuring. Some of your members have thought it best to find places in our nation’s fighting forces rather than to complete their high school training. We must try to give them the honor, the recognition and the support they deserve. They are offering all they have. During the last year and a half you have grown considerably in the qualities of patriotism, loyalty and sincerity. You have improved in earnestness and in devotion to your work. Far beyond usual expectations, you are preparing yourselves to your utmost rather than merely trying to qualify for graduation. You are realizing that you have a task to perform and you are getting ready to do it. Those who at times tend to view the future with grave doubt and misgiving should receive reassurance when they have occasion to experience the seriousness of purpose of you young citizens and your zeal for our cherished institutions.

As we have seen him work about the school during these last years, becoming a little more gray, his step less sure, most of us have had a feeling that he should call a halt to his heavy responsibilities and spend his remaining years more at ease. This was not, however Mr. Woodruff’s desire. It is a happy thought that Mr. Woodruff’s fine qualities had been recognized and appreciated by the teachers while he was still in service. Plans had been completed by the faculty to observe his birthday (the day following his death) by a surprise dinner and a gift as a token of appreciation. Our only hope now is that he did understand in some degree the high feeling regard we had for him. He was not merely a caretaker of the plant—he was a co-worker in the conduct of the school program.

But each mistake we clfrmced to make Has helped us through the years. We’re thankful for inspiring aid, Received while working here. “Onward” will our watchword be. Whether stationed far or near. Kindnesses we’ll not forget Our teachers ever show. We tried to reach the goal they set— How hard they’ll never know. For four long years we’ve learned to work, To think and concentrate. These traits we know will conquer fear And mold a better fate. Our Alma Mater points the path Through weather bright or drear. And through the night, into the light, We follow signals clear. bor life is sweet though life is earnest— We’ve tried to do our best By gaining honor, hope and courage, Perfect symbols of G. H. S. We’ll ne’er forget you, G. H. S., When from your halls we turn. We’ll make the grade in every test, Defeat we’ll always spurn. So to our class of forty-three: Should we go far or near, We’ll reach the land of fondest dreams If we but persevere. urz Page Ten —Gerai.dine Lawrence, ’43.

Page Twenty-four Junior Diary Dear D,ary: September 20, 1942 Now that I am a junior, I have decided that I’ll keep a diary of all the thrilling things our class does. I’ll keep this for you, Georgie, dear, while you’re away being a good soldier, then when you read it you’ll know just what we have done all year. Today, Georgie, we elected our class officers. Our president is Jack Elliott; our vice-president, Edward Gonsowski; secretary-treasurer, Kathryn Moore; student council member, Norma Grimes. Dearest Diary : September 24, 1942 The newspaper staff began its work today. We put half a page in the Georgetown News each week. Golly, I wish you were here, Georgie! Dearest Diary: October 22, 1942 This has been a big day, Georgie, dear! The juniors were measured for those lovely class rings. Our class play has been announced. It is to be “His Best Investment”. The newspaper staff officers were appointed. The first honor roll came out—lots of juniors were on it. Darling Diary : November 20, 1942 Today is the big event, the junior play, and everyone is coming. Thrills! Thrills! P. S.: It was a big success! Dear Diary: November 24, 1942 'Phis afternoon a noble deed was performed by a junior, Bob Sanders. He made the touchdown and field goal at Westville. Diary Dear: December 4, 1942 The juniors had a lovely “Old Home Town” party. Girls wore big red hair bows and the boys wore enormous black bow ties. I wish you could have been here. Dearest Diary : December 10, 1942 Bob Sanders, that handsome junior lad, was elected as next year’s football captain, at the meeting of the football squad today. Dear Diary: December 17, 1942 The juniors are working hard, as usual. They are selling pop, candy and popcorn at all the basketball games. Darling Diary : December 20, 1942 Oh, Georgie, everyone is doing her last minute shopping. The general topic among the juniors is, “What’s Santa bringing you?” I haven’t told anybody what you’re giving me. Dear Diary: January 4, 1943 First day of school after vacation and guess what the juniors got—a late Christmas gift, their class rings. Dearest Diary: January 14, 1943 The news is so scarce that we juniors have added two new articles to the newspaper: “The Roving Reporter” and the “Student of the Week”. Diary Dear: February 20, 1943 Oh, Georgie, we’re so thrilled! The juniors are going to buy a service tlag for the school. It is going to have a big star in the middle. Just think, you’ll be on it, Georgie, dearest. Dear Diary: March 16, 1943 Well, I hope you get plenty of candy, Georgie, because we juniors haven’t half of what we could sell and they do say it goes to the army. Diary Dear : April 2, 1943 Oh, what a wonderful operetta we had tonight. Beverly Lenhart, a junior, was one of the stars; Dan Liddell and Walter Williford were in it, too. Dear Diary : April 14. 1943 Now our busiest time of all the year is here. We are beginning our plans for the junior-senior dinner-dance. It is to be May 14, and we have engaged Matt Matthews for the dance. I hope all our boys don’t go to the army before it happens. payc Twenty-five (Written by June Lanter and Betty Ann Lawlyes) CLASS OF 1944 Page Twenty-six CLASS OF 1945 President....Margaret Thornton Vice-President...............Carol Donaldson Secretary-Treasurer.......Russell Richards We have passed our first year in high school— We’re no longer freshmen green; Now we’re all of us sophomores— Always heard if not always seen. We’ve had to work a lot harder To be able to make the grade, But knowing our work is better Has made us feel fully repaid. But we are yet just sophomores And some of our foolery remains, So we sometimes forget things— Especially to use our brains. Yet while we’re enrolled in high school We’re determined to do our best, And always we’ll stand by you, Our own dear G. H. S. The sophomore class takes pride in the record of its members for they have been prominent in all the activities of the high school. Delpha Cravens and Helen Baldwin were elected as school cheer leaders and have served faithfully and well. Agricultural pursuits brought honors to Don Smith, who won a county championship in pork production, Jack Sanders for a county championship in beef production, and Leo Yoho, who won second place in section fourteen of the Vo-Ag fair for his Guernsey heifer. The music department acknowledges the work of Billy Joe Lewis and Thelma Smith in the band, and of Geneva Fullen, Joan Miller, Carrie Summerville and Bronston Austin in the chorus. One twirling corps is made up almost entirely of sophomore girls—Jean Richards, Helen Baldwin, Irene Kocanda, Mary Fratick, Carol Donaldson, Norma Williams, Margaret Thornton, and Patricia Scott. Delpha Cravens worked hard to gain the honor of being Scrap Queen. luby Parke and Hank Lopinski are our basketball stars, while Bronston Austin and Maurice Haworth uphold our honors in track. And above all, we manage to keep our share of names on the scholastic honor roll as well.

CLASS OF 1945 Page Twenty-nine CLASS OF 1946 President......John Howald Pice-President........Tom Kovanic Secretary-Treasurer....Florence Kotchkr Although we are the freshmen And people call us green. Our class is one of the best That ever will be seen. We’re always on time at school. We do what we think is right. We always help the others And seldom do we light. Hut we would all feel better I f there were more things we could do. Why don’t we have a chance To work like the rest of you? When we get our diplomas, In nineteen forty-six, You’ll see we’re not green kids— We’ll show you all the tricks. And when we’re out of school, Gone from dear old G. H. S., We’ll look back upon it And know that it’s the best. Florence Kotchkr, ’46. (A letter to Georgie Hi Schooler from his brother Butch) In Science Class, 3 :20, Friday P.M. Dear Georgie: Well, how’s the little buck private? Still on K.P.? I hope not, but if you are, there’s really not much I can do about it, I’m afraid. Do you remember how you called me “green little freshie”? Maybe freshies are green but we’re doing all right by ourselves. To begin with, I think you should know that John Howald is our president, Tom Kovanic, our vice-president, and Florence Kotcher, our secretary-treasurer. Also our executive committee consists of Lu Anne Elder, Barbara Holmes and Dorothy Lenhart. Bobby Haworth was elected as our freshman representative on the Student Council. Paul Martin was elected for the Sportsmanship committee. He was also the only freshman to win a Buffalo award tor football. Betty Steinfeldt and Audrey Woodard were appointed as representatives on the Buffalo Staff, and boy! you should see our nifty twirlers! Alice Maudlin, our redhead, gave a reading entitled “Anne of Green Gables” for an assembly program and she also made us proud of her in the Speech Contest when she gave her comedy reading. Say! you should see the cute girl that just came from Indiana. All the boys wanted to know her name, but I found out that it was Donnis Stark. You can see I like high school fine. The only trouble is they run out of candy bars too often. But I suppose you fellows are getting fat on them, so we won’t kick. You see your old Alma Mater would have a hard time getting along without us. After all, somebody has to be the goat. Here’s hoping you are the same, “Butch.” Page Thirty CLASS OF 1946 Front Rote—Bobby Hiatt, Raymond Jonikas, Louis Pataki, Doris Washington, Minnie Jean Alexander, Betty York.

Page Thirty-one CLASS OF 1946 Page Thirty-two Puye Thirty-three AUGUST 24—Freshmen display their greenness by their intelligence ( ?) tests on Freshman Day. 31—Three new “slave-drivers” join the ranks of the faculty. Oh, those big brown eyes of Miss Tipton’s. Tough luck, girls, Mr. Yarbrough’s alrcadv taken. And Miss Jenson -------------oh-h! SEPTEMBER 1—School starts again. Seniors—snobbish as ever. Juniors —ambitious as usual. Sophomores—give ’em time, they’re growing. Freshmen—need we say more? 3— 1942-43 enrollment—351. Looks as though we’re slipping. 4— YVe hear that “Hutch” Cole’s baby boy is the “spittin’ image” of the old man. 7—Since “Buddy” Haworth’s increasing visits to Danville, he’s been “jiving” for our band members. Hand and twirlers march in Labor Day parades in a drenching downpour. YVere they “soaked”! 9—Say, have you seen those blossoming twosomes on the campus? Florence Kotchcr and George Snyder look guilty. 11— Delpha Cravens and Helen Baldwin are elected cheerleaders. “Yiv” Richardson, Eleanor Hughes, ami Don Ellsworth were good losers. 12— Buffaloes smear Paris, 7-0. Our band director watched the spectators while directing the music. Wonder how she can do two things at once? 15— We’ve been wondering why John Howald and Lu Anne Elder have been speaking to everyone and smiling. Now we know—today is election day for class officers! 16— Juniors sell chocolate milk and pop at noons. Now Mr. DcLand doesn’t have to go so far for his cokes and peanuts. 17— Mr. Walker seemed awfully calm today, although Mr. Stork paid him a visit. Wonder what happened to all the cigars? re didn’t get any. 18— War struck home again. Herman Morris, a former student. was killed in action in the Pacific. Buffaloes go to Charleston and lose, 12-6. Better luck-next time. 22—Seniors lose one of their classmates, Mary Rose Roberts, who moved to Colorado. 25—The Misses Sandy and Hughes threw' a mixed party for their classmates. Was it noisy? Ask the neighbors. OCTOBER 1— Two weiner roasts—Dramatic Chib and O A A. girP—almost bumped into each other at the Scout Cabin. What a coincidence! 2— A safety program today. And we took time out from classes to go through the Safety Council trailer. Claudia Galyen also won $1 for using her memory. 6—“Floozie” Stephenson and Carol Donaldson blossom out in slacks today. Overheard in the hall—Burch : “Nowadays you can’t tell the girls from the boys from the rear. What’s going to be next, shorts?” 8— Miss Ehredt must have heard from her boy-friend for she goes around singing “Jingle Jangle Jingle” and just smiles and smiles. 9— Yippee! No school today. Teachers go to a conference. Buffaloes are again the winners over Catlin, 22-0. Johnnie Lemcntavich ran 102 yards for a touchdown. It’s been rumored that he saw Richard Peavler talking to his girl and he had to get to the other end of the field— pronto! Page Thirty-four t OCTOBER (continued) 12—Say, that was a cute little (?) black dinner bucket Dwight Smith brought his lunch in! Wonder where we could get one like it. 15— Glorious Teens had an initiation party tor the new club members. Maxine Pribble can really “moo” like a cow when she wants to. 16— Bob Almy and Dclpha Cravens were crowned King and Queen of the scrap drive, and were host and hostess for the dance tonight. Peggy Wells was runner-up. Sally Schcctcr was really thrilled when Don Ellsworth took her home after the dance. O. K., Sally, we’ll keep quiet! 21—Boys go to Sheridan, both to see the beautiful girls and to play football. How do they compare with our girls? Oh, by the way, we won, 15-13. 23— Photographer came today and took group pictures. “Jerry” Williams and “Jackie” Rohour really smiled for the “birdie”. 24— Georgetown vs. Ridgefarm. Final score in our favor, 25-0. Are we getting good! 26—Something new has been added on Charlotte Pringle’s third finger, left hand. Congratulations! 28— There seems to be a new fad in gifts from the boys. Jean Mollett, Margaret Winters, and Peg Wells are sporting new fountain pen and pencil sets. 29— Booo! “Who-o-o’s the Bla-a-a-ack Wido-o-o-ow?” First Dramatic Club play was a big success, including the black widow spider. Barbara McDill really stole the show by acting the somewhat (?) dumb girl. 30— 11:00—Football game with Oakwood called off on account of rain. 1:00—Game called on again. 5:00—Boys came through and won exciting game against wet odds. NOVEMBER 1—Here it is November. Where did October go so fast? 3—Saw Bob Towner eating salty peanuts in study hall. We think: he’d better watch out or he’ll lose his girlish “fig-gcr”. 10— Seniors sell annual ads in Danville. My, how Betty Hol-stine likes to ilirt with the Marine recruiter! 11— Annual Armistice Day clash with Hoopeston held there. Outcome: 12-6, in our flavor—oops, we mean favor. 13—Friday, the thirteenth, didn’t turn out so bad for Geraldine Lawrence. Did you notice something new’s been added to her ring collection? (Can’t tell anyone, but it’s from ex-football star, Joe Hill.) We had visitors from Metcalf today. Sure good to see Mr. Gorman once again. He’s principal at Metcalf now. It seems that Marymae Barr and Ray Mariage want to be together all the time. It took an awful lot of persuasion to get them to go to classes this afternoon. They must have been talking about something important, d’ye s’pose ? 16— Mr. White talks to students, as well as teachers, on the subject of alcohol. He’s a-gin it! Bill Walker seems to be the “idol” of the Freshmen girls —especially of a certain brunette. Donald Smith says that lie’s tried and tried but just can’t be the “Casanova” that Bill is. 17— Johanna Rutkowski: “Golly, who is that handsome boy coming up the walk?” Mae Hedges: “Don’t lie silly—that’s only Ray Mariage. Don’t you recognize him?” Johanna: “1 recognize him now, but I’m so used to seeing him with Margaret Thornton that at first I thought he was a newr student.” 18— 19-20—Nation-wide gas registration. Page Thirty-five NOVEMBER (continued) 20—“His Best Investment” given by tlie Junior class. Better watch out, boys, “Katie” Moore certainly showed she could handle her men ! 24—Junior High kids came and gave a few skits from their play. Carol Donaldson’s sister, Maisie, got rather impatient with the prop man and kept yelling, “Curtain! Curtain!” which was finally drawn. 26—Our Buffaloes “mowed down” the fighting Tigers, 7-0, at the annual Thanksgiving Day game held at Wcstville. Maybe they ate too much turkey! Juniors were proud of their hero, Bob Sanders, who made the winning touchdown. 30—New time schedule goes into effect. Now, classes begin at 9:00 or 10:00. Since we don’t get out at noon until 12:10, Ramona Wilson says, “I get too hungry when the 12:00 whistle blows.” DECEMBER 1— No more gas! Gas rationing began today. Will this mean that “Speed” Burch will have to court his girl on foot ? 2— Weather is down below zero. Madeline Charnisky was so cold on the way to school that she kept saying, “I can’t go on. I can’t take another step!” But she did. 4—When Gordon Biggs talks to his gal, Betty Howe, we wish he’d keep his feet out of the aisles. 7—Student Council celebrates first Pearl Harbor anniversary by selling War Bonds and Stamps. Come on, kids, let’s “Braise the Lord, and Pass the Ammunition”. 10— Football boys were entertained at their yearly banquet tonight. All the boys “chipped in” and bought the coach a wallet. Was he surprised! “Honny” Lementavich got the famed Sportsmanship Trophy. 11— School dance. It seems that Bobby Haworth and George Snyder were courting the same girl. Wonder who won? 14—Senior pictures arrive. Everyone going around saying, “Oh, how good!” and “Doesn’t he look handsome!” Look in front of this book and see for yourself. 17— Glorious Teens have Christmas party. Everyone’s getting the old holiday spirit. 18— We wonder why Barbara Holmes won’t accept an invitation for a date from George Camarata? Why??? 21—Personal note to Norma Grimes: We hear you arc changing. Don’t, for we like you as you are. 23—Virginia Eaton got her Christmas present from Kenneth Barton a bit early this year. Nice going, “Ginny”! Dramatic Club gives a Christmas play at an assembly program this afternoon. We have an idea now how Margaret Winters will look ( 0 years hence. Only we hope she’s not selling gardenias. Council sponsors Christmas dance with decorations and tree. O. C. Burd and orchestra furnished the music. We noticed Carmen Williams flirting with the singer, but she didn’t know that he’s already married. “Pete” Herrcn said that the only thing missing was the mistletoe! You bet he’d notice that! No more school till next year--------. 25—The “White Christmas” turned out to be quite a wet one. Merry Christmas, anyhoo. 28—Invitational tournament held here during vacation. Outcome: Catlin, first; Georgetown, second; Metcalf, third; and Westville, fourth. 30—Lucille Allen and Roberta Pollnian both received watches from their “men”. Now they can tell when to get in at nights. JANUARY 1— Welcome, 1943! Here’s to a victorious v ar! 2— So many of our gang went to the dance at Olivet to watch the New Year come in that it seemed like a school dance. That Olga Bartash can really do the “Polish Hop”. Pat c Thirty-six JANUARY (Continued) 4— Back to school again. Holiday news: Miss Hardesty and Miss Tipton get diamonds; Mr. Yarbrough gets a wife. (We hear she’s a good cook, too.) 5— Mr. Burch and Mr. DeLand have their daliy get-together at 3:30 in the office—with cokes for refreshments. 6— Flash! New “gal” in school. From Alaska, too. She’s here for the duration. “Howdy, Irene Mattson.” Mary Sanders returns from her trip to Colorado to see George Bromley and we hear she’s still single. 7— New twosomes: Mary Fratick and James Brooks; Jean Richards and Tommy Kovanic; Dorothy Lenhart and Paul Liddell. 8— Varsity beat Metcalf, 45-27. 9— Eleanor Lewis becomes Mrs. Mercer Brown. The lucky guy' 11—We wonder why Lois Ireland couldn’t eat her supper last night. Could it have been because her sailor, Paul Gaddis, was home? Kenneth Mollett, one of our seniors, left for the armed forces. 14- 15—Mid-year exams! So many cases of headaches and writers’ cramp. 18—Seniors on their last lap and Chester Jones remarked that he was going to make the most of it. Could he mean that he was actually going to study? 18-19-20—Tournament here. We beat Indianola, 37-29, and Catlin, 32-19. 21— Some of our boys skip school to take army exams in Danville. We hope they won’t have to leave us just yet. 22— Don Ellsworth, captain of the Navy Annual sales team, didn’t wait to “go down with his ship” for he quit school today. 25— New teacher arrives to take over Miss Hardesty’s English classes. Miss Mary Ann Knusman, if you please, a former roommate of Mary Jane Stewart. 26— It’s always a pleasure to beat Wcstvillc. We did, 25-22. Whoopee! 27— Will someone please take down the Christmas decorations in the auditorium? 28— New Queens of Fads: Norma Morris—Boys’ shirts. Bernice Church—Slacks. Norma Caudill—Boys’ ties. Schecter and Pollman—Riding breeches. Who said this was a man’s world? 29— The question of the day: Were Yarbrough’s whiskers supposed to drop off during his reading during assembly program or was it an accident ? Dance tonight. Jack Elgin and Myra Gustin were dancing cheek to cheek to “In the Mood”. 30— Charlotte Pringle, Lois Ireland, Norma Williams, and Dean Smith have started wearing glasses. Guess they do too much studying. Take heed, kids. FEBRUARY 1— Miss Paul played hookey. Don’t forget your absence slip, teacher. 2— Seniors finish getting ads in Danville. Was Sandy ever “boiling” and we can’t blame her. We wouldn’t want Bob Rook taken away from us, either. 4—New romance—Shirley Weaver and Robert Hart. This younger generation really gets around. 6—Freshman class is increased by Donnis Stark, who hails from Cayuga. 8—Shoe rationing took us by surprise. We will all have to cut down on our walking. But how can we, with no gas? 11—Valentine Dance. Basketball boys stayed home and there was a shortage of boy partners—imagine rationing the stag line! 11—Music Department gives a patriotic program in honor of Lincoln’s birthday. Band played; chorus sang. Whose clarinet always squeaks when things are quiet? 15— Bobby Lawlyes, we hear you are hoarding chewing gum. Don’t forget—it is taboo here at school. 17—Dwight Smith kicked out of English class. b'ayc Thirty-seven FEBRUARY—(continued) 18— “Speed” threatened with being kicked out. 19— Biology classes cut up frogs. Beverly Edmonds cuts into one and “juice” squirted in her eye. 22— Lieutenant Hack Payne and Corporal George Frazier visit school today. Was Vivian Richardson ever slap-happy ! 23— Another Senior picks another Freshie—Johnnie Kovanic discovers Wanda Cook. What will the rest of us girls do, John? MARCH 1— Canned goods rationed. Leland Crook, Sharon Jones, and Harold Warner give up their studies and leave for the army. 2— Lieutenant Homer Masters, former faculty member, visited his “old stomping grounds” today. Wanda Grimes was so excited that she made lots of errors in typing class. He did look nice, though. Opening game of the regional tourney was with Chris-man. It was a great victory for us—55-15. 3— Mrs. Snyder has been working so hard on the Annual that she had to stay home to recuperate. That means we’ll have to work more! (Or does it?) 4— Played Danville in regional tourney. Tough game! Score, 26-41, which put us out of the running. 6—Vernon Williams successfully passed the Naval Aviation Corps reserve exam and was sworn in. He’s in the Navy now! Gossip is going around that “Deb” Cornwell has been dating a Danville girl. 8— Boys and girls start physical fitness classes. If you see someone limping around you’ll know he’s only stiff and sore. 9— Claudia Galyen seemed terribly happy today. Could it have been because she was wearing a newly acquired engagement ring? 10—The boys certainly look keen in their new purple and white football sweaters. 12—“Sadie Hawkins Dance” tonight. The girls had to stop being bashful and ask the boys for dates. Mr. DeLand played Cupid via the loud speaker. 20—Sectional Speech Contest held here. Our school won fourth place. 22—Spring has arrived, for all the kids are sitting out on the campus again. Private George Howlett visited Miss Henderson’s class today and was “roped” into telling about his army experiences. 29—Homer Cornwell left our fair city for the life of a “rookie” in the Army. APRIL 2—“Rio Rico”—operetta, given by the Music Department. 23—Good Friday. Easter vacation. 30—Student Council State Convention, at Peoria MAY 7—Senior Play. 14—Junior-Senior banquet.

Awards and honors given on Honors Day. Page Thirty-eight Page Thirty-nine Page Party 1942 Letter Men JOHN LEM ENT A VIC H—Senior. Co-Captain. Halfback. Second letter. “Honney” was Vermilion County’s highest scorer, was on Rocky Wolfe's Chicago News All-State Team and on Chicago Daily News third All-State Team. Won the coveted Sportsmanship Trophy and justly deserved it. An excellent runner, pass receiver and an inspiring leader. We must add the name of Lementavich to the roll of honor of Georgetown all-time “football greats”. JAMES BROOKS—Senior. Co-Captain. Center. Second letter. “Wobble” was an exceptionally good snapper back and played consistently good ball at guard on defense. He lacked speed but not courage. Although a quiet boy, he was one of the sparkplugs that set off many of our bursts of offense and he deserves much of the credit for our fine season. BOB SANDERS—Junior. Captain-elect. End. Second letter. “Adolph” earned the justifiable reputation of being one of the best defensive ends in our school’s athletic history and when the chips were down, snagged the pass to beat W cstvillc. A clean athlete, a good boy and we expect him to carry on our tradition for fine leadership next fall. DELBERT CORNWELL—Senior. Guard. Second letter. “Deb” was a tough little man who played guard with the reckless distaste for opposing halfbacks. Was the most vicious tackier on the squad. When he hit ’em, he hurt ’em and that was often. We will miss the sound of his clean, hard tackles. DAVE DONALDSON—Senior. Quarterback. Second letter. “Little Dog” became the Houdini of the backfield as he mastered the tricky ball handling in our I-formation. Could pass with either hand and his placing of punts was a masterpiece of precision. Our team’s success was largely dependent upon this lad’s field generalship and his shoes, although small, will be hard to fill. BOB ROOK—Senior. Left Half. First letter. After a slow start. Bob became a permanent fixture at the left half position. A slow runner but a good driver and the team’s most effective blocker. Played his best game against Hoopeston. Lost a tooth but not his smile. BOB RICE—Senior. Fullback. First letter. Bob developed fast and became a consistent ground-gainer. Although he weighed only 150 pounds, he had more drive than any other back on the squad. Would ha e scored more touchdowns if his headgear had not kept slipping over his eyes when he got in the open. Loved football as demonstrated by his walking three miles after practice. Good tackier and blocker and such are hard to find. JOHN KOVAN1C—Senior. End. First letter. “Jawn” played his first season of football and received honorable All-State Mention. A big rugged boy whose tackling from the defensive fullback spot was a joy to watch. W hen he hit a ball carrier all that was left to do was for the official to mark the spot. Was at his best against Wcstvillc, which is the hope of every Buffalo. HOMP'R CORNWELL—Junior. Tackle. First letter. “Blondie” started the season as a halfback, where he lacked the timing to hit ’em and moved up to tackle, where he found himself and played a bang-up game against Hoopeston and Westville. Has one more year to go, but now is eighteen years old and may transfer to Uncle Sam’s team next fall—if so, we know our loss will be our Uncle’s gain. RAY PAULIS—Senior. Guard. First letter. Ray was unable to come out for football until his senior year. After a few weeks, his natural ability began to show and by midseason he was our hardest charging lineman. After every play into our line when the pile-up was untangled, there you would find Ray on the bottom, nose bloody, eyes sparkling and a grin all over his face—he loved contact. What a lineman this lad would have made if he could have played all his tour years! DIXON ASQUITH—Senior. Tackle. First letter. “Dickey” was our heaviest man and although he appeared to move slowly he was mighty tough to go around. He liked to play, was aggressive and opponents soon learned to respect this 225-pound tackle and ran their play the other direction. BUFFALO WINNERS Henry Lopinski Junior Parke Bronston Austin Lewis Galycn Paul Martin Vernon Williams Keith Perkins Jack Sanders Page Forty-one Page Forty-two 1942 Letter Men RICHARD WASHINGTON—Senior. Left Half. Second letter. “Wash” did double duty, playing both at left halfback and serving as understudy for Donaldson at quarterback. A clever runner and a fairly accurate passer. A good defensive halfback. Played his best game against Paris. DON DUKES—Junior. Tackle. First letter. “Dukes” is a big, rangy lad who played consistently well on offense but lacked spark on defense. If he gets a bit more aggressive next fall he will be hard to handle. Has one more year to go and we expect him to be one of our mainstays next fall. BILLY HERREN—Senior. Fullback. First letter. “Pete”, although small, was a good runner and a fair blocker. He could have used a bit more speed when breaking into the open. His spirit was good, he worked hard and played his best game against Paris. FLOYD BUTCHER—Junior. Halfback. First letter. “Butch” was a better ball player than most fans think. He had the luckless task of understudying for Captain Lcmcnta-vich and so saw little action, but he is growing and we advise you to keep your eyes on this lad next fall—he can hit hard, and loves it. NOEL BURCH—Senior. Left half. First letter. “Speed” had two handicaps—one, his stature, and the other, his father. The former did not seem to be so serious as the latter. He was a clever runner, fast, shifty and alert. Was also a fair tackier and blocker. DON RICE—Junior. Tackle. First letter. Don is a big, rugged lad who lacks spark on defense. Has one more year to go and if he decides to get tough, he will be an outstanding lineman. Has speed and weight and likes the game. Watch for him next fall. DONALD MORRIS—Junior. Tackle. First letter. “Ham” is 200 pounds of boy who should improve with age. Needs more speed but improved rapidly during the latter part of the season. Was tough against Hoopeston. His alertness at Westvillc enabled us to recover a Westvillc fumble on our own six-yard line which proved the turning-point in the game. Look for this boy next fall—he will be there scrapping. LACK ELGIN—Senior. End. First letter. A transfer student who was out only two years, but made his letter his senior year. Played both end and guard and played both positions creditably. Fast and aggressive. Too bad he does not have another year to go, for he was just beginning to learn what it was all about. WALTER BUSH—Junior. End. First letter. “Vod” is small but fast and an excellent pass receiver. If he improves in his blocking and tackling he should be a regular next fall. His pass-catching ability will be valuable. KENNETH BARTON—Senior. Center. First letter. A big, rugged lad whose play was spotty. I f his temperament had been more even, he could have been more valuable. W as a good snapper back and a good defensive man but only fair as a blocker. DWIGHT SMITH—Senior. Guard. First letter. “Smitty” was the smallest lineman on the squad but far from the weakest tackier. One of those good letter men who had to compete against a a good big man for a position. Fine attitude in practice, always gave his best and although always outweighed, he was seldom outplayed. This lad has enough courage for a big man. HENRY KOCANDA—Senior. End. First letter. “Hank” exemplifies the type of spirit that has made Buffalo teams what they are. He stayed out four years and never played in a varsity game until his senior year. This year he grew in size and developed in ability, but received an injury sufficiently serious to keep him out of a starting position against Oakwood. “Hank” missed not one night of practice the last two years and yet played only a few quarters. The Student Council, upon the recommendation of the Coach, awarded him a letter. It is our belief that such faithful participation and loyalty without personal glory fully merits this special award. We wish there were more such awards to make. KOCANDA Fage Forty-three The Season of 1942 GEORGETOWN 7—PARIS 0 The 1942 season opened on the home field with Paris as the opponent. After a scoreless first half the Buffaloes drove over for a touchdown, with Washington carrying the hall from the eighteen-yard line. Georgetown clearly outplayed the Tigers, racking up three times the yardage gained by Paris, hut were aide to cross the goal line only once. This game was played without the services of Co-Captain Lcmenta-vich, who was ill, and Martin, left halfback, who cracked a collar bone four days before the game and was lost for the season. CHARLESTON 13—GEORGETOWN 6 Still crippled by early season injuries, the Buffaloes suffered their only defeat on Charleston field. They opened the scoring on the third play of the game, with Washington heaving a long one to Donaldson for a six-pointer. The Charleston boys came back to score and go into the lead, 7-6, on consistent gains by Johnson and Sellett, their “speed twins”. In the second half Buffalo backs drove through into open fields, where poor blocking failed to score them and in the third quarter Johnson of Charleston ran back a punt for forty-two yards to score the clincher and became the first ball carrier to run back a punt to score on the Buffaloes in twenty-two years. It was a case of poor tackling all through the game. GEORGETOWN 22— CATUN 0 After a two weeks lay-off, the Georgetown Buffaloes returned to action, stung by their defeat at Charleston, and walloped Catlin’s Wolverines on the Catlin field, 22-0. The features of the game were the 102-yard run for a touchdown by Lementavich from fake punt formation, and the sharp tackling of the Buffalo linemen, which was a direct about-face from their previous game. It was in this game that the Buffaloes began to look like a real ball team, showing a marked defensive improvement. GEORGETOWN 15—SHERIDAN, INDIANA 13 In a “thrillcr-dillcr” the Georgetown Buffaloes nosed out the unbeaten Sheridan, Indiana, team in the last quarter on a safety. The game opened with Lementavich running off his own right tackle, cutting out and outflanking the entire Sheridan hacklield to gallop sixty-five yards to score, stunning the large crowd which had scarcely realized the game had begun. Later the Sheridan boys tied the score at 13-13 and then tried to punt out from behind their own goal, only to have the punt blocked out of bounds for an automatic safety It was a thrilling contest all the way.

Pa jc Forty-four Lementavich receives trophy from Prin PeLand GEORGETOWN 25—RIDGEFARM 0 Georgetown BuHaloes returned to their home field to slap down another Vermilion County team as they heat the scrappy Ridgcfarm Bulldogs to the tune of 25-0. The T-for-mation deception was beginning to pay dividends as the Buffalo hacks shot through openings past defensive men to score on sparkling runs through the stunned secondary defense. GEORGETOWN 13—HOOPESTON 6 On an ideal Armistice day, as an Indian summer haze lingered over Honeywell Field, the Cornhuskers of John Greer High confidently undertook to stop the rampaging Buffaloes and after forty-eight thriling minutes left the field stunned by a shower of laterals and forwards, and the hard driving tackles off the Golden-clad Buffaloes. The Greermen fumbled the opening kick-off and, before they realized they were in trouble, the alert Buffaloes drove over the goal to score quickly. Hoopeston came back to tie the score on a beautiful long pass late in the first half. The Greermen made their second mistake on the kick-off to start the second half as they let the ball roll, thinking it was going out of bounds, but an alert Georgetown lad pounced upon it and, before the cheers died away, had shot over for a second touchdown. The running of Rook was outstanding. GEORGETOWN 7—WESTVILLE 0 A highly confident Westville Tiger team, flushed from their 7-7 lie with Danville, grabbed the opening kick-off on Turkey Day, and before a crowd of 2,(XX) chilled fans, marched to the Buffalo six-yard line. Here their opportunity was lost as a sharp tackling Buffalo knocked Fullback Rippon free from the ball and Morris, Georgetown tackle, pounced upon it. The Buffaloes took over and drove the ball deep into Westville territory and were threatening to score at half time. The second half was definitely all Georgetown as the hard driving Buffalo backs drove deep into Westville territory, where a pass from Quarterback Donaldson to End Sanders clicked for a touchdown. Sanders split the uprights for the extra point. From this point on it was no real contest, with the Buffaloes gaining one hundred yards from scrimmage in the last quarter to a loss of three yards for the Tigers. Thus ended a season of seven victories and one loss and the mythical Vermilion Count) championship again returned to Georgetown.

Faye Forty-five t 1942- 43 Letter Men CAPTAIN BOB ROOK—Senior—Forward—Second letter. Boh did not get going until late in the season. He was consistently a good scorer in practice hut too tense in competition. He was otir best defensive guard and in our tough games at the end of the season was the most dependable scorer. Was at his best against Paris. BOB SANDERS—Junior—Guard—Second letter. This is Bob’s second season as a regular. Loosened up and began scoring the last half of the season. A good rebounder on defense and a fairly apt boy at ball handling but decidedly weak on defense. If he improves defensively be should be one of the big guns next year. JOHN KOVANIC—Senior— Guard—First letter. This was John’s first year out for basketball and he was our second highest scorer. Very slow but a dependable defensive rc-bounder. Too bad he bad not been able to play before this season. JOHN LEMENTAYICH—Senior—Center—Second letter. Set a new school scoring record of 289 points in twenty-three games for an average of twelve and one-half points per game. An excellent rebounder, aggressive and a fighter. This lad is without doubt the outstanding player in many, many years and we certainly hate to see him go, for we will search some time before we find another player of his all-around ability. JUNIOR PARKE—Sophomore—Guard—First letter. Parke is only a Sophomore but shows promise of developing into a cool player in the next two years. Is a fair shot and clever with the ball, but still weak on his defensive play. If this improves next year he should be one of the spark-plugs of next year’s team. NOEL BURCH—Senior—Forward—First letter. Too bad this lad was so small for be is the fastest boy on the squad and a fair shot on the run. Fairly clever ball handler and good dribbler but short on the rebounding. RICHARD WASHINGTON—Senior—Guard—Second letter. A clever floor man, quick, aggressive, and a deceptive passer but not a good shot. Good rebounder Only played in fifteen games because he was born too soon and went out during the latter part of the season. HOMER CORNWELL—Junior—Center—Second letter. A big, rugged boy who has another year of eligibility if the armed forces do not take him. A good rebounder, but a bit awkward and not a good scorer, but he should improve. DON DUKES—Junior—Forward—First letter. A big, rangy boy who lacks aggressiveness. A bit awkward with the ball, but likes the game and should improve next year if he develops a bit of initiative.

Intramural basketball was then organized to give those boys not on the varsity squad a chance to engage in the sport. A large number of boys signed up to participate. Four captains were selected from this group who chose teams from the remainder of the group. The games between these teams were played on Monday nights. In this series of games, Hill Walker’s team won first. Jack Elgin’s team, second. Floyd Butcher’s team, third, and Bill Herren s team finished in last place. A “noon” league was also organized, in which class teams played a schedule of sixteen-minute games during the noon period. There were several more teams in this league than in the Monday night league. The winning team of this tournament was a senior team captained by Bill Herren. A sophomore team was runner-up. with Dean Smith as captain. Bill Herren was high scorer with a total of 149 points. FIRST IN NOON LEAGUE RUNNER-UP IN NOON LEAGUE I).

Donaldson Clyde Carrigan Bill Herren Joe Cook 1943 Track Season Track prospects for the year are not bright at the time of this writing. Only one letterman is hack from last year’s team. There are twenty-five boys working out daily and several meets have been scheduled. The Paris Relays, L rbana Relays, dual meets with Westville, Ridgefarm and Catlin, a quadrangular meet with Westville, Ridgefarm and Catlin, the county meet on the first of May, and the state district meet at Monticello make an attracive schedule. At the time this book went to press, no meets had heen held but in time trials the outstanding boys appear to be Captain Ralph Barkman, high and low hurdles; Walter Bush, mile and half mile; John Lementavich, quarter mile and 100 yard dash; Dave Donaldson, discus; Rronston Austin, 100 and 200 yard dashes; and George Snyder, 440 yard run. Nearly all the boys are underclassmen and many are only freshmen and sophomores, so the prospects for seasons ahead appear brighter than those of the present season. Physical Fitness Wartime conditions always focus attention on the general physical unfitness of our young jieople. In order to better prepare our students, both boys and girls, for the increased demand for physical well-being which military service and war work will make upon them in the near future, our high school has joined the other educational institutions of the country in setting up a program of training for physical fitness. These training classes are held five days a week. Attendance is not com-pulsorv, but any student who wishes may enroll. Strenuous physical exercises are engaged in, which are intended to strengthen muscles too little used, to increase endurance, and to build up the physical reserve so badly needed in any new situation.

Student Council President.........Mary Woodruff Vice-President........Billy HerrEN Secretary........Marjory Stedman Faculty Advisers—Mr. DeLand and Miss Rees The Student Council, the law-making body of our school, contributes a great deal to the welfare of the students of G. H. S. The Council has charge of the school dances and student assembly programs. Management of dances involves the selling of tickets, preparing and decorating the auditorium, securing the music, and supervising the dancing. It is the responsibility of the Council to see that all dancing and all conduct conform to the high standards that have been set up by the Council. Assembly programs are of two kinds—those in which the entertainment is furnished by students and those in which the entertainers are professionals. The latter are financed in part by the Council and in part by student fees. This year they sponsored a very successful scrap drive in which all students could participate. More than 12,000 pounds of scrap were collected, with individual awards received by Robert Almy for more than 2,000 pounds, Delpha Cravens for over 1,300 pounds, and Margaret Wells for over 1,100 pounds. To promote the purchase of War Stamps by students, the Council has maintained a desk at which stamps can be bought by students at all times. Membership in the Illinois Association of Student Councils gives the Council the privilege of sending delegates to the Annual State Convention. This year the junior and senior members attended as delegates at Peoria on April 30 and May 1. Beverly Johnson.

In other years a selection was made whereby only about fifteen were placed on the staff. This year it was decided to allow all those interested to become members, resulting in a much larger staff. In order to give each member experience in all types of library service, a system was worked out in which the duties were rotated from week to week. During the first semester, meetings of staff members were held almost weekly, wherein instruction was given in library practice. Later, meetings became less frequent. All of the 3,240 volumes are classified and catalogued. In addition to the book collection we subscribe to seventeen magazines, some of which are bound for permanent use. A vertical file containing pamphlets, clippings and pictures is also maintained. A new feature in the library this year is a reserve shelf where books designated for special class use are placed and loaned for short periods of time. There were 321 books added during the year. Of this number, fourteen were received as a gift from a citizen of the community. Approximately one-third of the books purchased were fiction. Books pertaining to aeronautics and current world problems made up most of the remainder and have proved to be a very valuable and interesting addition to our library. Marcia Miller.

All of these members were active in the subscription campaign, selling a total of 325 books. More people wished to buy copies than could be supplied, since the selling price does not cover the cost of publishing and the senior class underwrites the deficit as their contribution to the welfare of the school and community. The team captained by Lois Ireland, with Olga Bartash as bookkeeper, won the subscription contest and was entertained by the losing teams. Noel Burch’s team, with Rubv Wimsett as bookkeeper, ran a close second in the contest, trailing by only five or six sales. The advertising campaign, supervised by Norma Sandy, was unusually successful, more advertising being secured than in any other recent year. Rearrangement of material in the book enabled the editors to plan a sixteen-page section, including the calendar and most of the athletic section, which could be printed as a special supplement to be mailed to each Georgetown High School alumnus in military service.

News Staff Clippings Sept. 8—The Georgetown High School News Staff held its first meeting today in Room 15 under the direction of Miss Rees. Eleven juniors reported for work on the staff. At this meeting Miss Rees warned that this activity was' somewhat exacting and brought more hard work than thrills. Those present agreed that the newspaper was important and that they would carry it on in spite of these difficulties. Staff meetings will be held on Friday afternoons, and Monday noons and afternoons. Oct. 1—At the regular staff meeting today beats were assigned to all staff members. Oct. 22—Definite positions on the newspaper were announced today. Beverly Lenhart will act as editor-in-chief, with Norma Grimes as assistant. June Lanter will be news editor, and Don Rice, athletic editor. Betty Lawlyes will take charge of headlines; Ivern Bush, Jerry Williams, and Carmen Williams will be proofreaders; Doris Tucker will act as secretary and Norris Paxton will be agriculture editor. Tax. 25—Mr. DeLand started a new class in radio code today. A number of the news staff have decided to join this class, and will not be able to attend meetings anymore as this class meets during the last period. Since Norris Paxton has secured a poition to which he must go the seventh hour, he is no longer able to work on the news staff. This leaves only a few juniors to carry on the work. May 26—Awards are to be given during the Honors Day program today to all staff members who have continued working throughout the year.

John Cortland, a lawyer, had sent a clown to prison although he knew that he was innocent. His idealistic young brother Van was not sympathetic with this action. Van became interested in Fortunee, a child of the circus, and after investing $10,000 in her education, he went to war. The action of the play which took place after Van’s return, centered around the revenge of Uncle Toby, the circus clown, and the love affair of Van and the circus waif who proved to be “His Best Investment .

Other Victory awards were won by Russell Richards, Chester Jones, Ferdinand Smith, Robert Almy, Robert Pollman, Robert Towner and Stanley Buyno. Total production by projects was as follows: 173 hogs or 28.821 pounds of pork 41,450 pounds of milk and 12 dairy heifers 8,055 pounds of beef 825 chickens 1,836 bushels of corn Twenty-eight boys exhibited projects at various local fairs and won numerous prizes and ribbons.

There are fifty new members and twenty who are former members. Our club is now affiliated with the State Association, which is called “Illinois Student Homemakers”. At the regular meetings some of the topics under discussion were: December—Christmas Party. January—“Dating”. February—“Spring Fashions” and “Influence of War on Clothing”. March—“Wartime Foods”. April—Planning for “Mother-Daughter Potluck”. May—Preparation and serving at mother and daughter dinner. One of the money-making projects of the year was serving the 150 people at the Football Banquet on December 10. Marymai ; Bark.

It meets the last Friday of each month during the regular class period. Its purpose is to offer a little change from regular class work and to give the members a chance to plan programs for themselves. Before entering the club room members must give the pass-word for the day. After a short business meeting a program is given. This usually begins with the singing of Latin songs. Talks on subjects connected with Latin and Roman life are sometimes given; games with a Latin content are often played. At one meeting the club enjoyed a treasure hunt with all articles named in Latin. One program consisted of a “Quiz Kids” contest. Sometimes a short playlet is given. At the Christmas meeting, in connection with a study of the Roman Saturnalia, the club had a gift exchange. Refreshments are sometimes served but they are always very simple. In keeping with the name Latini Hodierni, which means Latins of Today, the club intends to show how up-to-date Latin really is.

The Chorus and A Cappella Choir The chorus was divided into two groups this year, consisting of fifteen members in the first period class and twelve in the fifth period class. Throughout the year, the student body was entertained by various types of numbers on assembly programs, given by the Girls’ Chorus and the A Cappella Choir. Among the most outstanding of these programs was the Christmas sketch for which the Girls’ Octet furnished the musical background. Some members of the A Cappella Choir, also endowed with the Christmas spirit, presented carols for the entertainment of the town. Georgetown was not the only community to receive a vocal concert. The A Cappella Choir, the Girls’ Sextet, and the Male Quartet appeared in the morning services at the Olivet Church, and the Girls’ Octet also sang at the Georgetown Methodist Church. The band and the choir combined their efforts to give a very stimulating patriotic program in commemoration of Lincoln’s birthday. Perhaps the most outstanding event of the year on the musical calendar was the presentation of the operetta, “Rio Rico”, given on April 2, with all members of the chorus participating.

It was necessary to confine our trips to places close to home. The band marched for the Labor Day parade in Danville and Westville on September 7, 1942. They were unfortunate, however, in getting caught in a heavy rain while marching. The pep band played for all the home games, both football and basketball. Since the entire band is comparatively small this year, nearly all the regular members played also in the pep band. One of our most valuable members, Leland Crook, left for the Army in February. Leland played the baritone for three and one-half years. Before he left, he was presented a wallet by the members of the band. The following senior members have of high school: Barbara McDill Charlotte Pringle Lois Ireland Maxine Pribble played in the band during all four years Ruby Wimsett Eleanor Hughes Emma Jean Lourdeau Helen Henschen The band performed at two assembly programs during the year. The members were also entertained at two parties, the first being held at the high school and the second at the home of Kathryn Moore. Paul Liddell.

A. A. calendar was a weiner roast at the site of the Boy Scout cabin. The familiar phrase, “fun was had by all”, really applied here. On Thursday before Hallowe’en, ghosts, witches, tramps, and other supernatural creatures gathered in the band room for a party. Prizes were given for best disguised, silliest and most original costumes. They were won by Minnie Alexander, Marjorie Mollett, and Dorothy Grimes, respectively. Baseball was the favorite fall sport and basketball, the winter favorite. The G. A. A. sponsored a basketball tournament at noons on Mondays and Wednes- days for all girls in school who wished to play. Six teams participated in the tournament held during the first part of the second semester. The G. A. A. also sponsored play nights on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for all girls in school. Our money-raising project for the year was a picture show at the Georgetown Theatre in February. Four teams were chosen from all the G. A. A. members with the officers as captains. The winners received G. A. A. pins. From the profits we paid next year’s dues and expect to send several girls to G. A. A. camp during the summer. Maxine Pribble.

Students from all classes in high school are eligible for membership. Mr. Yarbrough is the faculty adviser. Two plays have been presented during the year— “The Black Widow”, a Hallowe'en play, and “Choirs of God”, a Christmas play. The County and Sectional Speech Contests were held here March 27. Members of the Dramatic Club presented the one-act play, The Invisible Clue”, which was awarded second place. Paul Liddell was honored by receiving first place in Oratorical Declamation and will compete in the State Speech Contest at Champaign on April 17.

Victory Corps 1 he Victory Corps is a new organization which has been formed in our high school just this year, under the supervision of Mr. DeLand. It has been introduced into all high schools to provide an opportunity for the young people of high school age to do as much as they can toward the war effort. Students must have these qualifications in order to become members of the Victory Corps: they must be participating in a physical fitness program; must be taking courses appropriate to age, grade and ability; and must be participating in at least one wartime activity. There are five divisions of the Victory Corps which students may enter. They are the Air Service Division, Land Service Division, Sea Service Division, Production Service Division and Community Service Division. The activities of the Corps have been very limited this year, but the members have been “on call” for duty at any time. Since the organization has made a start, next year should see rapid progress.

Page Seventy-sir The Nutt Family” The senior class presented the side-splitting comedy, “The Nutt Family”, on May 7, 1943, with the following cast: Orestus, a tall, black, lean boy of twenty............................. Bea Wise, a real estate agent.......................................... Sylvia Gaylord, a girl in her early twenties........................... Cerise, a colored maid................................................. Larry Smart, a fine-appearing chap of twenty........................... Mrs. Nutt, short stout woman of forty.................................. Phineas, tall, pompous, imposing-appearing man......................... Lila, a pretty, attractive girl in early twenties...................... Ima Nutt, charming, beautiful girl of nineteen......................... Wall Nutt, solemn, precise eighteen-year-old........................... Vivian Tepper, tall, imposing-appearing woman of fifty................. Charlotte Neal, pretty young girl in her late teens.................... Helene Shelton, tall, thin woman in early forties...................... The entire action of the play takes place in the living room of “Crestdale”, a large summer home near an eastern mountain resort. It was formerly occupied by Dr. See, who used it as a sanitarium for people who suffered from nervous ailments. Dr. See closes the place up and sells it and it is idle for a year when Miss Helen Shelton buys it and moves in. She becomes restless and decides to go to Europe, so she places the house in the hands of a real estate agent, Miss Bea Wise, leaves a colored caretaker in charge and starts off on her European jaunt. Miss Wise, anxious to sell Crestdale, runs into a family who tell her they are in the market to buy a house. She offers to allow them to live at Crestdale for one week free of charge so that they can judge of its merits. And who do you think moves in? You’re right the first time—it’s none other than the Nutt family! P. Nutt, the head of the family, is a doctor who is tired of practicing medicine and wants to roam. Meta Nutt, his wife, raises a pet snake. Wall Nutt, their son, is fascinated by fish and is experimenting with them, and last but not least there is Ima Nutt, their charming daughter. No sooner are the Nutts ensconced at Crestdale than several of Dr. See’s former patients arrive and then the battle of wits begins and fun runs rampant. Larry Smart falls in love with Ima Nutt and thinks she is a real nut. He is in a peck of trouble and in order to remain near the girl he fancies, he pretends that he is a nut. Engaged to a girl whom he has never seen and trying to escape her, he is confronted with a girl who claims to be his wife, and has fallen in love with a girl whom he has reason to believe is a patient at a sanitarium—Laughter! Laughter!—and more laughter! Page Stt'cnty-seven Page Seventy-eight We salute you, our advertisers, who make the publishing of the Buffalo possible, year after year.

It was introduced into our curriculum at the beginning of the second semester. Of the twenty students who enrolled originally, fourteen students are continuing and indicate that they will complete the course. Enrollment in this class foretells that we may have several WAACs or WAVEs in the near future, as six of the students are girls. Members of the class are Ivern Bush, Norma Grimes, June Lanter, Betty Lawlves, Norma Mollett, Maxine Pribble, Bernarr Dawson, David Donaldson, Charles Ellis. Henry Falconio, Henry Kocanda, Byron Mechalas, Keith Sandy and Ronald Small. The instructor of the class is Mr. DeLand, who was trained as a Radio Operator in the U. S. Navy during the former World War. To assist with the practice work the class has used the Basic Radio Code Kit, consisting of a series of records prepared by the Signal Corps, U. S. Army. At the completion of this semester of training the students should be able to receive radio messages at the rate of at least twelve words a minute. This maybe of considerable help to boys or girls who go into some branch of military or naval service during the next few years. FLOUR FEED HAY GRAIN SALT 905 N. State Street Phone 466!

Who cut a hole in the rug because he wanted to see the floor show, and then put it back because he didn’t want to see the whole (hole) show. Who sat in the middle of the street with two pieces of bread in his hand waiting for some traffic jam, and along came a street car and gave him a jar. Who thought a mushroom was a room for lovers only. Who put a chair by his death bed for rigor mortis to sit in. Who dived into a swimming pool on Tuesday and wished it were Friday because on Friday they had water in the pool. Who pushed a cow off a cliff because he wanted to see the “Jersey Bounce.” Who took a ruler to bed with him to see how long he slept. Who took a bale of hay to bed to feed his nightmare. Who put bread crumbs in his shoes to feed his pigeon toes. Who looked for the Board of Education in a lumber yard. Who was afraid to die so he went into the living room. Who watered his Victory Garden with whiskey so he could have “stewed tomatoes”. Who, when he went to pick strawberries, took along a needle and thread to sew up the runners. Who put out his eyes so he could go on a blind date. Who took whiskey to bed with him so he could sleep tight. Who cut off his arms so he could wear a sleeveless sweater. Who sewed his fingers together so he could wear mittens. Who drank red ink before he went to bed so he could dream in technicolor. Who cracked his skull. He was putting toilet water on his hair and the lid dropped. Who was driving to the beauty parlor and had to turn back home the had forgotten his keys). Who marked an X on the bottom of his boat so he would know where he had be n fishing the day before. Who took a bicycle to bed so he wouldn’t walk in his sleep. Who told the painter to hang onto his brush so he could take the ladder away. Who wouldn’t pay his bus fare because he said his name was Crime and “crime doesn’t pay”. Who kept hitting his head with a hammer because he felt so good when he stopped. Do you like “little moron” jokes? Yeah? Well, most morons do.
