Phyllis was born November 9, 1929 at Georgetown. She attended the Frazier grade school and was graduated from Junior High School in 1943. In September of that year she enrolled as a member of the class of 1947. During the three and one-half years of her high school career she was engaged in numerous activities and functions of her class. Her winning personality and infectious smile will never be forgotten among her classmates and friends. As graduation grows closer we feel very keenly the loss of this treasured classmate. Pajc Two “Her merry laugh and jolly wuy would make you luijpy all the day.” On June 22, 1945 members of the class of '47 were greatly shocked to hear of the tragic death of our classmate, DALE MIETHE His life ended shortly after he was struck by an automobile while riding his bicycle home from Westville on Route 1, accompanied by two friends. Dale was born November 3, 1929 in Georgetown. He attended Seminary grade school and was graduated from Junior High School in 1943.

You are embarking on the “Atomic Age.” Men are beginning to travel in jet propelled machines. Science and invention appear to be opening realms of experience which to most of us seem bewildering and confusing. To live successfully in this new era will surely be a challenge. May you always feel that your four years in Georgetown I ligh School, your associations with your teachers and fellow students, gave you inspiration and insight to enable you to adjust to the fast moving scenes of life.

The game was highlighted by the running of Captain John Maloy who scored four touchdowns the first half. The defensive line play of the Buffaloes held the Trojans to a meager four first downs in the game. GEORGETOWN 13--URBANA 6 The Scrappin Buffaloes outfought a heavier Urbana Tiger team under the lights at Urhana and scored twice with Captain Maloy showing the way, on driving off tackle thrusts. The defensive play of Paxton, Martin, and Edwards stood out for the Buffaloes. Ray Paxton received an ankle injury in the second half and was lost to the team for a greater part of the season. GEORGETOWN 13—CHAMPAIGN 27 Champaign, vaunted powerhouse of prep football in the Midwest, came to Georgetown and opened the home field season under the new lighting system. The crowd was the largest ever to attend a football game in Georgetown and most of the thousands of fans present went away that crisp October night, expressing a belief that they had witnessed the greatest high school football game they had ever seen. It was truly a great game. Champaign scored twice in the first half but the Buffaloes came out the third quarter to roar back to a 13-13 deadlock with four minutes left to play. Those last minutes were heart breaking. Perhaps other Buffalo teams have played as well and perhaps some future Buffalo team may match the play of the Georgetowners on that night—but they will likely never surpass that performance. GEORGETOWN 26- RI OGEE ARM 0 The Ridgefarm Bulldogs renewed an old time rivalry when they came to Georgetown to play the Buffaloes. The Bulldogs played an inspired game against the Buffaloes but could not hold the power of the Georgetowners. Much credit should be given to the Ridgefarm boys for the brand of ball they played. For Georgetown, Don Smith and Billy Long were outstanding. Pape Forty GEORGETOWN 39—DIJGGER, INDIANA 0 The Miners from Dugger, Indiana were outclassed by an alert Buffalo team under the lights at Georgetown. The Buffaloes were blocking exceptionally well and their backs were running with tremendous power. The Dugger team had only one ball carrier, their 210-pound fullback, who was able to pick up any yardage against the hard charging front line of the Buffaloes. GEORGETOWN 12—HOBART, INDIANA 6 A game at Hobart, suburb of Gary, Indiana, was postponed from Friday to Saturday night because the field was flooded by a downpour of rain. The field was slippery and Hobart was lough. The game was a bitter battle with each team featuring hard-driving backs. Don Smith’s running and Zielinski’s passing were outstanding for Georgetown. GEORGETOWN 13—HOOPESTON 0 The annual Armistice Day battle between the Cornhuskers of John Greer and the Buffaloes of Georgetown was played this year on Honeywell Field in Hoopeston. It was a typical battle between these two ancient rivals. The tackling was vicious but the Buffaloes carried more offensive punch and extended their winning streak over the Greermen. It has now been sixteen years since the Buffaloes lost to John Greer on that bleak November 11, 1931. GEORGETOWN 0—GARFIELD. TERRE HAUTE A husky Garfield team, featuring the outstanding passing attack in Indiana prep circles, came to Georgetown and on a sodden field held the Buffaloes scoreless, a feat accomplished only a half dozen times in some fifteen years. The Buffaloes pass defense was superb as they completely bottled up the Garfield pass attack but a bit of weak tackling let a Terre Haute runner squirm past for the lone score of the game. GEORGETOWN 12—WESTVILLE 0 W'ell folks, it was the usual Gcorgetown-Westville scrap with each team shooting the works on every play. The tackling was deadly and the line play of both teams was terrific, as usual. The Georgetown starting team featured five sophomores who got their first taste of a Westville-Georgetown game early in life—and liked it. For Georgetown, the running of the Smith boys and Sophomore Russell Alexander was excellent. In the line, Morris, Long, McRcnzie, and Martin looked exceptionally good on defense but the outstanding player on the field was Carl Thompson, left end for the Buffaloes. He snagged passes in the fiat, over the middle, deep in the defense and was making tackles everywhere on the field. If he starts in next fall where he left off on Thanksgiving Day, Georgetown fans will be mighty proud of this lad. Seated -Tom Wallace.

Third letter. Captain 1941) team—“Gandhi” was the hardest running back on a Georgetown team in many a moon. Vermilion County’s leading scorer and the outstanding hoy in Eastern Illinois football. Was at his best when the going got tough, and that, my friends, is the earmark of a truly great athlete. DON SMITH—Senior. R.H. Second letter. Don was the speed hoy on the team. When long yardage was needed it was Smith who carried the mail. Developed this season into a dependable tackier, and a fair blocker. His running on the “Semi-nude” reverse was excellent. Won the Sportsmanship trophy —a tribute to this fine hoy and one which he certainly did merit. RAY PAXTON—Senior. Right Knd. Second letter. The tough luck boy on the squad. The hardest tackier on the team, but played only a small part of the season. Received ankle injury in the Urbana game and a broken thumb stopped his participation until Thanksgiving when he played the Westville ga e with a complete hand cast. The loss of this boy in the Champaign and Terre Haute games was a severe blow. We needed him. JOE KOVACK—Senior. Tackle. Second letter. “Dog” played l oth tackle spots and shifted to an end in the absence of Paxton. Was fairly strong defensively to plays to the inside, hut weak on the wide attack. A fair blocker but a hit slow on the take off. Was at his best against Hoopeston. LESLIE CORNWELL—Senior. Center. First letter. “Corney” was a returnee from the service and was a capable center replacement. A good tackier but only fair as a “snapper-back.” Liked to hack up the line—and could hit ’em hard when he could get ’em. PAUL MARTIN—Senior. Tackle. Third letter. Another hoy who spent a year in the Navy and returned to finish his high school work. A big, fast-driving tackier who hurt ’em when he hit. This lad is college material and we hope to sec him playing on some college hall club about 1948. A clean true sportsman. CHARLES MASKEL—Senior. Fullback. Second letter. “Chuck” was a good punter, a fair tackier, hut a weak runner and Mocker. We think he could have been a fine hack had his attitude been more serious. Played his best hall against Champaign. Vnqc Party two DAVID SNYDER—Junior. End. Second letter. “Dave” was seldom fooled twice on the same thing. A smart end. hut very slow of foot. YVe feel he will speed up hy next season and we expect him to become outstanding as an end. He looked especially good against Champaign. BEN EDWARDS III —Junior. Tackle. Second letter. “Benny” played tackle and guard. Was fairly effective on defense at guard hut slow on offense. A hip hoy capable of becoming an outstanding lineman if he can speed up a hit and get his weight down. BOB HARCAR1K—Junior. Guard. Second letter. “Hi Shy” is another of the big hoys who needs more agility and snap to their play. In the modern game of football the emphasis is on speed and mobility. This hoy would have been a wonderful guard twenty-live years ago. He is tough on any plays directed at him but greatly handicapped by lack of speed in open play. ALLAN STKWART—Junior. Center. First letter. “Al” is a very clever offensive center. His hall handling is good. His direct passing on punts leaves nothing to he desired. He played only on offense. Should be an excellent pivot man next fall. BOB ZIF.LTNSKT—Junior. Quarterback. Second letter. Known as “The Arm.” Has a wonderful throwing arm. Tackling improved this season. Was handicapped with a shoulder injury and missed first three games. We expect him to he the outstanding passer in Eastern Illinois prep circles next fall. DALE SMITH—Junior. Captain-elect. Halfback. First letter. The fourth of the Smith Brothers and this one is the “fire-brand” of them all. Has zip to his play—can “scat” and will tackle anything going the wrong direction. He should he an exceptional break away ball carrier next fall. The success of the 1947 team will he on his shoulders. Best of luck. Dale— BEAT WKSTVILLK! BOB HOLSTINE—Junior. Quarterback. First letter. The Houdini of the Gridiron. Can make a football disappear by day or by night. Fine tackier is this mite of a man whose physcial courage knows no bounds. Yc hope he grows some twenty pounds. JACK COLLOM—Junior. Guard. First letter. Jack is another of the hoys whose road clearance is too small. Built on the ground and lacking the speed, he is quite handicapped against fleet hacks. Has plenty of courage and will to play and can tackle with the best when he can get contact. Page Forty three CARL THOMPSON—Junior. Knd. First letter. “Buz” came along fast during the latter part of the season. A hard tackier and a good worker. Has an earnest desire to improve and will he tough next fall. He was the outstanding hoy on the held Thanksgiving Day at Westville—a hope of every Buffalo player. BILL LONG—Sophomore. Guard. Second letter. Billy is aggressive, quick and a driving tackier. Weak on his blocking hut will improve. Received honorable mention on all-state team as a Sophomore. We hope his studies don't throw him for he is one of our outstanding young players. Look for him next fall. He should he tough ! ALFRED MORRIS—Sophomore. Guard. First letter. “Alfy” is small, quiet and effective. Good blocker and a fair tackier. Improved quite a lot as the season progressed. Played all the Westville game. Should he a fine athlete if he grows a hit. Cl I AS. McKKNZIK—Sophomore. Knd. First letter. “Mac is big, fast, aggressive, and can play hall with the best of them when he wants to. Can’t stand prosperity—makes one good tackle then lets the next three get away while he basks in the glory of his past accomplishments. We believe this boy can be one of the very best if he decides to put out his best efforts all the time. Rl’SSEL ALKXANDKR—Sophomore. Halfback. First letter. “Alex is fast, hard driving tackier and a good ball carrier. Only fair as a blocker. Works hard all the time, never loafs, and we believe he will be hard to stop next fall although he weighs a slight 140 pounds. TOM WALLACE—Sophomore. Halfback. First letter. A fast, hard running back, and a good tackier, but decidedly weak on his blocking. Had the misfortune to fracture a collar bone in the Dugger, Indiana game. 'Pom has enough speed to make a good back and we do not hesitate to predict he will be just that if he stays on the job.

JOHN MALOY—Senior. Guard. Second letter. A hard working, scrappy little fellow who improved steadily and was always dependable. Hit his peak during the last month of the season. Fine set shot and good free throw shooter. Cool under fire. A grand athlete. HOB HOLST INK—Junior. Guard. Second letter. Clever, aggressive, good rebounder, good shot and fair defensive player. Has grown four inches in height since last season. If he grows two more inches we predict he will be the best basketball player to ever play for Georgetown High. Has only one weakness now and that is a tendency to let tough breaks upset his play. When he gains poise and coolness that all expert athletes must possess—then will he be great. L ALK SMITH—Junior. Forward. Second letter. Fast, aggressive, driver whose play improved fast this season. He has the potential capacities of an outstanding ball player. When John Dale becomes seasoned to the point where he can control his temper, with the tremendous will he has to win, we think he will be superb, and that poise will come with experience. We have never seen a boy whose desire to win was greater. When that desire can be coupled with cool, deliberate determination we would like to see some one stop him. BOH CO LI'. MAN—Sophomore. Forward, hirst letter. Bob has the physical characteristics of a basketball player. He has height, a fine touch on the ball, a good sense of timing and fair speed on the floor. Nature has endowed him richly—but physical ability alone does not make a great athlete. We believe the intangible quality that makes one athlete greater than another is “competitive spirit.” That quality musts come from within the player and is dependent upon his attitude toward the game. That quality we hope to sec improve as this lad grows older—and we believe it will. I age Forty-six L)AVII) SNYDKK—Junior. Guard. Second letter. Dave i quite an improved player since last year. A good shot and fairly good defensively. Learns quickly and is serious in his effort. We think his improvement this season merits a prediction that he will he above average next year. Looked good covering Owens in the Paris game and that is quite an evening’s chore. BOB ZIELINSKI—Junior. Center. Second letter. “Zeke” is a good defensive rebounder but lacks shooting ability, fie is big and we feel will be one of those boys whose coordination will be late coming to him because he has grown fast. We think he will be greatly improved with another year’s age, and if he gains poise and cleverness he will be the answer to next year’s problem—a big rugged boy who can get the rebounds. KENNETH PEARSON—Junior. Forward. First letter. “Kenny” is one of those athletes whose play is unpredictable. One instant he is sensational, the next a blundering novice. Sometimes such athletes gain poise with maturity and experience to develop into polished performer; other times they never gain that quality. What he will become next year we can not say—wc only know he will either be great or mediocre, only Kenny can determine which. BUFFALO WINNERS THOMPSON STEWART FINLEY STARKS WALKER Seated—John Maloy.

Faye Forty-seven 1946 Track Season At the time this book went to press not much information was available concerning the 1947 track team, kitty-five boys had reported for workouts and included in the group were Don Smith, County Champion in the 100 yard dash; Ray Paxton, second place winner in the 440 yard dash; John Maloy, fourth place winner in the 880 yard run. Several other lettermen were on hand to sound out a fairly strong group which has hopes of winning the county meet again in 1947. Last season the Buffaloes, striving for their third consecutive county championship, were tied in points in the county by Oakwood, and Oakwood then won the meet when their relay team beat the Buffaloes to break the tie. The outstanding performer on the strong 1946 team was Bob Haworth. Bob won the low hurdles, high hurdles, and the pole vault in the county meet and set a new county meet record in the low hurdles. He later qualified for State Finals competition at the University of Illinois where he had the misfortune to hit his seventh hurdle in the semi-finals and did not qualify for the final race. He did however, run the flight in the excellent time of 23.5 seconds.

Buffalo Staff Publishing the 1947 Buffalo was a definite challenge for the senior class. Printing prices had doubled; binding and cover costs had likewise increased. The task of financing a book such as that of 1946 was out of the question. The staff decided that it would be better to reduce the number of pages and to use another type of cover rather than to give up publishing a yearbook. The advertising committee tackled their job with determination and demonstrated that they were good salespeople by exceeding previous records. A total of $784 was earned through their efforts.

One great advantage is that Mr. Houts is once more music director. Last summer he started a summer hand so that we might be able to play before school began. He taught all the instruments that it takes to make a band sound well-balanced. Our band is composed of fifty pupils, five of whom have played in bands in previous years. Instead of having different officers in the band we have various committees and a chairman for each. Some of these different committees are property, social, library, research, and solo and ensemble. Each committee has a special function from which the entire band benefits. The new types of instruments in the band this year are the oboe, the piccolo, and the French horn, baritone saxophone, and string bass. Next year the band will have more new and different instruments. An ensemble has been chosen from each different section—the saxophone, flute, clarinet, cornet, trombone, and French horn. These ensembles have played for various occasions during the year. Four visiting directors have conducted our band. It is fun to see if you arc able to play under a leader other than the regular director teaching you. This was a very good experience for all. The boys and girls of the band have had a very good time this year, playing at various places on special programs, and in having hay rides, skating parties, and weenie roasts. Probably the most important problem that came before us this year was learning what each and everyone must do to have a good band. Being in a high school band is a wonderful experience. Besides teaching us to concentrate, it also adds to our own enjoyment by bringing entertainment to us through our marches, waltzes, overtures, fun-pieces, sacred and other different types of music. The program for our first year was as follows: Fall Concert, Solo and Ensemble Recital, All School’s Program, Women’s Federation, Frazier’s P. T. A., Ridegfarm Program, Spring Program, Olivet Church Program, Solo and Ensemble Public Program, M. F.. Church Program, Friends Church Program, Christian Church.

A Cappella Choir The A Cappella Choir under the direction of Mr. Houts has had a very happy and successful year. It is the largest organization in school, with a total of 68 members. This is the first successful mixed choir since Mr. Houts last taught here. The boys in our choir have never sung before and have had no previous training. They have proven themselves a very satisfactory group and Mr. Houts is proud of “his boys.” Besides singing for an assembly, they have given programs for several outside organizations. A trip to visit Danville’s a cappella choir, early in the year was enjoyed by all. Up to this time the most honored performances were for the county teachers meeting held in the Danville H. S. auditorium. They have yet to sing for five church programs. Also the joint band-choir annual spring concert is being planned for the evening of April 4, and preparations are being made for entering the choir in the district contest, April 19. The choir, in spite of their many programs, found time for fun and frolic. They joined with the band in most of their good times and enjoyed together hay rides, skating parties, teas and other forms of entertainment. At Christmas time they performed their good deed for the year by caroling and spreading the spirit of good cheer over the town.

Jean- Library Staff “How can T find information about the United Nations Organization?” “Where can T get an interesting personal narrative about World War IT?” “Please help me find a book of poems by Alfred Noyes.” These questions and requests arc heard every day by the librarian and her student assistants. Thus, the library attempts to help students find what they need for class work and it supplies materials to develop new interests. From the various classes a staff of twenty-five girls was selected to serve as librarians. jTach girl serves at the loan desk for one period each week. Those serving on the committee in charge of over-due books are : Betty Boland, Joyce Perkins, Jean Gallagher, and Joan Black. The committee for collecting fines is composed of: Helen Murray, Maridell Alden, Dorothy Miethe, and Charlotte Canaday. In addition to the book collection we subscribe to twenty-five magazines and pamphlets. There were one-hundred-fifty new books added during the year.

Latini Hodierni The Latini Hodierni Club has held monthly meetings with the purpose of increasing the interest of the members in Latin, and of having a good time while doing it. Officers elected at the first meeting were: Consul, George Spang; Praetor, Belva Whitaker; Quaestor, Eula Eelgcnhauer; and Aedilc, Joe Tanzey. It is the duty of the consul to preside at all meetings; of the praetor to act in absence of the consul; of the quaestor to take charge of the revenues and records; and of the aedilc to provide entertainment for the populace. Members of the club are those who are taking Second Year Latin, and meetings are held the third Friday of each month during the class hour. Great enthusiasm has been shown by the members this year. Each meeting has been divided roughly into these three parts: program, recreation, and refreshments. A committee provided refreshments each time, ten cents in dues each month taking care of the expense. Joe Tanzey, the aedilc, planned some entertainment for each meeting. One time the club played Vtci, a Latinized version of Bingo; another time the group had a treasure hunt, everything being listed under its Latin name; another time the game was a Guess My Name quiz. The programs have consisted of reports on interesting topics, short plays, and talks. Early in the year the members of the club ordered Junior Classical League pins, thus enrolling as a chapter in that national organization. Although the membership of the club has been small this year, the interest has been unusually good. Page Sixty-one Senior Play “ASK ME ANOTHER” Wilma Shepard, an oftice girl.................

In short, Joyce is Marco, whose column has done so astonishingly well for the Herald that smart young Mike Warren of the rival newspaper, the Examiner, takes on the sizable task of finding the mystery man and enticing him away from the Herald. Naturally, he runs afoul of Joyce, who parries his thrusts adroitly until—well, Mike isn’t the sort of fellow to be held off indefinitely. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hammond is going to bring suit against the Herald for describing her jewels so minutely in the society news that the robber was enabled to make off with them. Shorty Cass, an underworld character, decides that it will be safer to collect the reward for the recovery of the jewels than to try to dispose of them; so he gives the jewels to the real Marco, a down-at-the-heels mystic, the plan being for Marco to claim to have found them; the two are then to split the reward. But there comes a moment in which Marco is obliged to hide the jewels quickly, and a box of “Aunt Sally’s” freshly baked cookies becomes the innocent receptacle. Complications aplenty arise when various other boxes of cookies are piled with the one containing the jewels, and all the boxes are taken home by various individuals. It is Joyce’s shrewdness that is responsible for the solution of the jewel robbery, and with the solution, various contributing complications are ironed out—with romance not forgotten.
