HELEN SMITH Secretary OUR FACULTY Our old alma mater; there is none greater. Miss Rees taught my pater. Miss Henderson, my mater. Young teachers we have too. Junie is really a woo-woo. And, Miss T’.renneman will do! Kirby is a farmer true And his shoes—P. U. Now Rook and Sam don’t get along. You should put them in a game at ping pong. And now we have Mrs. Humrichous About politics she’s as timid as a mouse. Stoltz is quite a jolt, With his classy anecdotes. One teacher goes at a speedy rate. M iss Martin, the seniors should appreciate. Kate’s classes go at a torrid rate. In them, the students tear out the gate. And you wouldn’t think Husted was the type To keep high school boys out late at night. Sarg. Endsley is the guy. He can make an oven, then bake a pie. That charming lady, Mrs. Flynn, Left us once, but is back again. Now the dear old man of our school, Doesn’t mind if you play pool. Rut if it makes you late to class, Then you need not expect a pass. If this seems wrong to you, young man, Then take it up with principal, Glenn A. DeLand. With this we do end our teachers’ report, And hope it will be taken in good sport. —Frank Smith, Dale Smith, Bob Zielinski.

January 12-16 Monday: What’s this we hear about Bob W. keeping a certain little freshman out until 11 o’clock. By the way, Bonnie, what did your aunt have to say? Our school building should really be clean with all these new “floor-sweeping” skirts—shouldn’t it, Barbara? Tuesday: I guess all the girls didn’t realize how cute Gene W. was until it was too late. Now Mary Ann I), has him hooked. Say, are the seniors losing one of their girls? It’s about time you came back to school Maridcll. Wednesday: Last night’s game with Westville was swell. I guess we showed them they can’t beat us all the time. Thursday: Some girls have been complaining about the “awful” odor, especially after the boys have come lip from shooting baskets, and to think it all could be prevented if they'd only wash their feet! Does anybody know that Mr. Kirby has two jobs? Teaching school and delivering the morning milk !!!! Friday: Had a game with Bismarck and was defeated. Bob and Dale must have felt awful mean with both of them fowling out in the third quarter. Say, Dale, you’re not supposed to play football on the floor. January 19-23 Monday: Sonna Lou just doesn’t see any sense in living any more. So—now everybody knows why she quit wearing lipstick. Started the collection for the Infantile Paralysis fund today. Our school rated at the top of the list last year; let’s do the same this year. Tuesday: Basketball game here with Sidell. We came out on top. Boy! That Roger B. really gets around, doesn’t he??? Only this time it looks a little different, how about it, Pat????? Wednesday: When you look around the auditorium at noon you would think you were at an old maids sewing circle. Only this time it is the senior girls knitting for a “special friend.” Ann C. do you need glasses or did you just slip when you fell this morning? This is the day before exams and everybody is trying to learn what they should have learned all year. Thursday: Semester Exams. Friday: Semester Exams. Group of seniors went to Champaign to see Shakespearian play. What was so interesting in the halls that kept you so long, Marilyn and LaWanda???? Game tonight with Catlin. January 26-30 Monday: Beginning of the County Tournament. We play Allcrton. Pep meeting. One new student, Patricia Combs, and one old student, Virgil Biava, are starting school this semester. Tuesday: Everybody down-hearted today. Lost to Allcrton last night which means our boys will have a good rest this week! Wednesday: What’s come between the gruesome-twosome, Belva and Zeke? Couldn’t be a Ridgcfarm guy, could it? Hmmmrnm??? G.A.A. played off the tourney and the fourth-hour class were the winners. Rah. Rah. Thursday: The Band and Chorus sponsored an ice skating party. One wouldn’t know by looking just whose guests Dave S. and Kenny S. were supposed to be. Was that nice, now. boys??? Friday: Started a clean-up campaign, using a point system. Had to earn seven and one-half points to get long-wanted dance. Say, Roger and Lou Belle, you had better be more careful after this. (Ha, ha) I know two people who arc but definitely the jealous type— aren’t you, Pat and Bob??!! February 2-6 Monday: Mr. Snyder: Where did you go with all (six) of those Catlin girls Saturday night? Don’t you like the G-town girls’ company any more???? Tuesday: The game with Potomac proved to be a good one. Only hope the one with Hoopeston is as good, if not better.

Our clean-up campaign isn’t coming along so well. Shame, shame, you messy children........

Wednesday: Say, Pat, Marilyn, Elizabeth, and Jean Louise, where were you this afternoon??? Too bad girls don’t get away with things that boys can!

We heard that Phil Weaver’s dad burned up a lot of gasoline looking for him this morning, but I guess he can afford it with all that gas around his place. Ahem! Friday: Seniors, this is our last home game and it seems as if there was quite a mix-up about the score. Wonder who’s ring Dorothy Moore has been wearing?

Of course, I wouldn’t mind if I could jump the rope like Martha Caudill or Jack Hart. Ronald Miethc is quite a woman’s man lately. It seems as if he has a crush on our newest girl, Rosemary Demotte. Wednesday: We can’t break the tradition this year, so we will have to mention Beverly Maskel’s name this year. Take a good look, Beverly, because it won’t be in any more Georgetown High School annuals. We have an old maids’ club in the freshman class. The members arc: Barbara Naudzius, Jeanette Mensavage, and Phyllis Zielinski. Thursday: F.H.A. chili supper. Nice time was had by all except for the dish washing!

The game was dampened by a hard rain during the second halt which stopped the scoring in a game which began like a free scoring one. Urbana 12—Georgetown 13 The Buffaloes played a dreary game during the first half but came back to overcome a 12 point defeat and beat their Big 12 rivals, from Urbana, during the second half. Captain Dale Smith ran very hard during the second half and scored twice behind good line blocking. Charleston 13—Georgetown 13 The tough Charleston City team was played to a draw by the Buffaloes on the Georgetown field. The Charleston boys had defeated the I'rbana team by a 20-0 count earlier, so it seemed the Buffaloes were improving. Decatur 28—Georgetown 6 Playing their first game away from home the Buffaloes were no match for the Decatur boys of the Big 12 Conference. The line play of the Buffaloes was deplorable and the running of the Buffalo backs was very unimpressive. The only bright spot in the game for the Buffaloes was their passing attack which netted 387 yards but only one touchdown. Bob Holstine received a shoulder injury on the opening kickoff of the second half and was lost for several weeks. Ridge farm 0—Georgetown 20 The Buffaloes scored three touchdowns early to trounce the Bulldogs of Ridgefarm and spoil the Homecoming activities of the Ridgefarm Alumni. The running of Russel Alexander and James Kern was outstanding for the Buffaloes although their line play was not impressive on offense or defense. The Buffaloes did not employ a passing attack but stayed on the ground for their markers. Bradley 0—Georgetown 52 The boys from Bradley were no match for the Buffaloes in the first game ever played between the two schools. A good contest was expected when Bradley, reputedly a strong team, came to Georgetown, but they were outclassed on both offensive and defensive play by the Buffaloes. Hoopeston 7—Georgetown 26 The Corn Canners from John Greer High, of Hoopeston, enjoying the best season in their history, came to Georgetown confident of an easy victory and found the Buffaloes playing up to the maximum of their ability. It was in this game that the Buffaloes displayed the kind of football they were capable of playing but seldom got around to showing during the season. The blocking was sharp, the tackling sure and the running of the Georgetown backs was all that could be wished for. Garfield (Terre Haute) 1A—Georgetown 12 Playing in a sea of mud in the Stadium at Terre Haute the Gcorgctowncrs were beaten by those most important point-after-touchdown kicks. Both teams scored twice and the Buffaloes were inside the twenty vard line on several occasions where faulty quarterbacking or just plain hard luck stopped their threats. It was a close game but r.ot too well played by either team. West vi lie 12—Georgetown 12 Playing for the last time on Thanksgiving Day these two bitter rivals fought it out on a sheet of ice and frozen snow in a game very much after the usual pattern of these historic games. The underdog fighting and clawing to upset the favorite, creating wild and woolly breaks which usually feature such a game. It was just a typical Gcorgetown-Westville game in which anything can happen and usuallv does. The press may create a hypothetical favorite for this game but fans who have followed this series of games know' well that when these two teams square off at each other, there is no favorite, there is no underdog, no quarter is asked and none given. These boys who play this spirited game annually are to be congratulated on their clean play and the 1948 Buffalo wishes to congratulate members of both these teams for their fine display of sportsmanship and clean hard football which has made this game the highlight of prep football in Eastern Illinois.

Two new records were established by Don Smith in the 300 yard low hurdles and the Freshman half mile relay tea m.__Kenneth Pearson ran the fastest mile that a Vermilion County lad has run in 33 years. The track team scored 46 points in the County meet for a new meet team scoring record. At the time this book went to press, track work for 1948 had just begun and not much information was available on the 1948 team possibilities. Outstanding candidates left from last season’s team include: Dale Smith—100 yard low hurdles and high hurdles; Kenneth Pearson — mile ; Billy Rutkowski-—220 yard ; George Spang—440 yard ; Carl Dawson—high jump; Carl Thompson—100 yard and broad jump; Bill Maskel—pole vault and discus ; Tom Maudlin—shot; Bob Zielinski—discus; Don Finley—880 yard ; Bob Sandusky—440 yard; Ronald Grider—220 yard and broad jump: Gene Kocanda—220 yard ; Dean Rice- -220 yard ; Bill Grimes—220 yard ; Russel Alexander—880 yard run ; James Stark—mile run. The Frosh-Soph track team enjoyed its best season undefeated with victories over Danville, Urbana and Catlin.

Buffalo Staff The senior class decided early in the fall that it should continue the custom of previous senior classes and publish a yearbook even though prices in labor and materials had taken a jump since the previous year. In order to cut costs and make it possible for most of the students to buy an annual, the number of pages was reduced and the type of cover changed. When students are elected to positions on the staff, it often happens that they are unable to perform the duties involved. This year the students volunteered for the type of work they wished to do. The class of ’48 responded unusually well when a call for workers was made. Two were selected by the adviser to act as co-editors. These two were chosen because of the many hours of work they had devoted to taking and mounting pictures; typing of manuscripts; proofreading and checking the dummy; and in making trips to the printers.

ROMANI HODIERNI Officers Consuls....................Helen Murray, Robert Harcarik Quaestor................................ Phyllis Edwards Censor.................................... Jewell Sheets Aediles.....Charles Holmes, Joe Tanzey, Betty Cunningham, Dean Rice Romani Hodierni, the Romans of Today, was organized early in the year to include all members of the three Latin classes; members of the Cicero class being named senatores; those of Latin 11 equites; and those of Latin I, plebes. Officers were elected at the first meeting by a method somewhat like that used in the Roman elections. The plan was that the majority of the officers should come from the upper classes but that freshmen should have some representation. A Halloween party at night to which many of the club came in Roman costume was one of the most successful meetings held. The Christmas program was interesting because of the comparison shown between modern Christmas customs and those of the ancient Roman Saturnalia. A Roman wedding, presented by the Latin IT class, was the chief feature of the Valentine party. Plans under consideration for the rest of the year include a benefit performance at the local theatre featuring some picture such as “Ben Hur,” an assembly program, and a picnic or possibly a Roman banquet at the end of school.

To be learned one must read. To read one must have books. For those ambitious enough to be wise and studious enough to read, the library here at Georgetown High School is a very pleasant place, indeed. Not only does the library provide reference materials, current magazines, and periodicals, but it also provides an abundance of fascinating fiction stories to delight the heart of e ery reader. Presiding over this domain is Miss Haworth, with a staff of twenty-five girls, chosen from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The duties of these girls are to check books, keep them arranged in proper order, and to assist the student in every possible way. The overdue hook committee is composed of Anita Morgan, Rose Ann Long, Christine Shaw, and Violet Nale. Another group of girls: Joyce Forbes, Belva Thornton, Betty Norvelitis, and F.thel McCoy are in charge of the collection of fines. It is the desire of the library to maintain a high literary standard and to be an aid and an asset to each and every student of Georgetown High School.

BAND One of the largest organizations in the school this year was the band with a membership of fifty-seven. Two seniors played all four years, Delores Powell and Ronald Miethe. At the State Fair, the summer band was awarded a superior rating for class C schools and received the Governor Green trophy; each member received a medal. On October 25, we were thrilled to participate in a festival with twenty-two schools at Eastern Illinois State Teachers College. Approximately one thousand students were in the band parade. Our fall choir and band concert on December 18, was in the form of a radio program with Robert Harcarik as master of ceremonies. We played at the football and basketball games helping to create school pep. Many improvements have been made in our band room: Risers were made by Mr. Kirby’s shop classes; the room was acousticized, fluorescent lights were installed. We have had fun along with out work. Roller and ice skating parties and picnics have been planned by the social committee.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR The A Cappella Choir directed by Mr. Houts has had a happy and successful year. The organization now has a total of forty-six members. It placed in the first division at the District and State Contests and plans to enter again this year. Thus the boys and girls hope to keep the honor which they had established last year. Appearances included singing for the assembly, all the churches at Georgetown and Olivet, the formal Spring concert, exchange concert at Ridgefarm High School, radio styled fall concert, and the Lions-American Legion Auxiliary sponsored Americanism week programs. Fun has also been part of the program. Some outings include hayrides, ice skating and roller skating parties, swimming parties and other forms of entertainment.

At the beginning of the school year the new members were installed by informal initiation climaxed by a party in their honor. In observance of National F.H.A. Week, our club presented an entertaining Style Show before the student body. As part of our service to the community, we made toys and collected clothing to send to the Children’s Home for Christmas.

Two things stand in the way. First, he is still in love with his home-town girl, and second, he doesn’t have nerve enough to tell his father that he isn’t going to practice with him. His home-town girl breaks of? her engagement when she hears of his plans. Old Doc suffers a stroke. It’s then that neighborly Ma Brown takes things in hand, and Old Doc dies happily. Then, in a compelling scene of great emotional force, Ma shows young Doc what half a century of practice with his home town folks has meant in the human lives saved. It’s up to young Doc to choose his practice—and his wife! Page Sixty one left to Right—Phyllis Edwards, Hoi.

His parents have told him that his college days are the happiest days of his life. His friends Pinky and Oggy join in his troubles which lead them from being expelled from school to “suspended animation” in which the orchestra leader becomes a frozen ice cube. An accumulation of difficulties brought about the closing of the Poison Pot, the campus hangout. The dates and broken dates of the characters made Toe decide that “Love Was Too Much Trouble.” But all ends well—with a good supporting cast solving the love problems which arose. Page Sixty-two SENIOR PLAY, SPRINGTIME FOR PATSY' The Senior Class of 1948 produced a fast moving comedy in three acts entitled “Springtime for Patsy” for its annual play. The cast consisted of fourteen girls and five boys who portrayed their parts in a professional style. The plot of the play dealt with the trials and tribulations of an adorable girl. Patsy, who at sixteen years is experiencing romance. The man of her dreams is Todd Burke, a writer and boarder in Patsy’s home. Ginger, her little sister, and Chuck Ramsey, her high school boy friend are not at all cooperative with the heroine. Members of the cast were: David Snyder, Rachel Peace.
