Later on, in November, the council proposed a student code. In December the Council sponsored the annual Christmas Party. February brought a Bake Sale, which helped the financial situation of the council. On March 19. the Student Coiuicil staged a program for the P,T,A. They discussed the purposes, activities, plans,and problems of the council, In April, the Student Council State Convention in Chicago. Sylvia Zachgo and John Read were selected as delegates. As the end of a year comes to a close, the Student Council has many plans saved for next year, S 5 5 ff , f 'ff as ff! ADMINISTRATION fi . f-if?

A LAST LOOK BACK The class of '58 spent a very enjoyable year de- spite the usual problems. Led by the four officers, Ken Kuipers, Angie Anderson, Charlotte Zachgo, and Denise Lloyd, the class sponsored the annual homecoming, a record dance, and the sweetheart ball, The sweetheart ball was inaugurated this year to take the place of the camival, The high- light of the year for most of the seniors was the end, in- cluding baccalaureate, commencement, and the Senior trip, This class did something a little differ- ent for their nip in that they spent the day in Chi- cago. Upon arriving in Chicago on a chartered bus, the class spent the first few hours at the Merchandise Mart, and then spent the remainder of the day at Riverview Amusement Park. After enjoying an ex- pensive meal at a fine restaurant,the class climaxed their trip with the seeing of the hit musical, My Fair Lady. U 4.:Ew': .1 .

Because funds were necessary for the Prom in April, The Grade School Tournament and The Frosh-Soph Tour- ney were welcomed to Gilman as ways for the Juniors to make money. A highlight in the new year was the Sweetheart Ball held February 14. The Junior Class was proud that Pat Sly, a Junior, was chosen as Sweetheart Queen of it, The preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom had to be made. The Prom held on April 26, with Parisian Enchantment as the theme was a night to be remembered. K X A iw, H54 fs els, is , k ,X 1S f Lff ' ,1gg, ,fi Lf., 1- - - 'Ek-,..

On November 23, 1957, the Gilman High gym was overflowing with people interested in seeing the Senior Play Who Dunit? directed by Mr, John Rob- ertson, Ryland Koets played the leading part of Al- exander Arlington, a man of middle-age, who was murdered, went to Heaven, then retumed to the Earth, to solve his murder. To him, it seemed ev- eryone had had a motive to kill him. His agonizing hours while on Earth made a very exciting play, Suspense held the audience to their seats till the murder was solvedg then everyone agreed that it had been a wonderful play, awe Seventy-six Trombones Swinging A long Sailing , Sailing Slippery Chicks I ,...-'-'MW lt was a chilly October 4, that ushered in the Annual Gilman Homecoming, The aftemoon parade sported six floats, one of which, the Junior Class Float, was chosen by the judges as the best in the competition, This winner was announced before kick-off time of the big game against Brad- ley, who, though the Gilman players fought their best, man- aged to score six points, After the game was our Homecoming Dance. the high point of the evening being the coronation of Diane Miller, Homecoming Queen, The other candidates were Jackie Bo- gard and Carolyn Boebel, The underclassmen attendants were, Pat Sly, Juniorg Martha Dexter, Sophomore, and Wanda Hansen, Freshman, A considerable amount of work went into our Homecoming preparations, but no one can honestly com- nlain of the final success.

The banquet started at 6:30 with an invocation by Father Foster, After an excellent meal, Sharon Eimen welcomed the Seniors and Ken Kuipers responded, Sue Cox gave a humorous reading. The Will and Prophecy were read by Jeanne Noye and Wayne Saxsma respectively, Mr, Foiles gave the musical Story of Harry, The banquet was con- cluded by the benediction by Rev. J. H, Pusey, Gary Wil- son's orchestra supplied the music for the dance, The Juniors had a very romantic theme for the prom which they called Parisian Enchantment, It was appropriately decorated from the Eiffel Tower in the center of the gym to the Arche de Triomphe on the wall behind the orchestra, L.

In their second game, the Owls defeated Crete, 7-6. It was one of the few times in recent years that a Gilman football team has beaten Crete. Then the Owls ran into trouble and lost toa rugged Watseka team. The Owls then earned a moral victory over a tough Bradley outfit on Home- coming night. The Owls then fell before the power of Central, St. Pat's, St, Anne, and Onarga, Show- ing their fighting spirit in the last game, they held a good Momence ball club to a tie. Next year the football team should be a little stronger if some of the underclassmen improve as they are expected to, Mahomet Crete Watseka Bradley Central St. Pat St. Anne Onarga Momence US 0 7 6 0 6 7 6 7 13 4 f .J AA W ls T HEM 26 6 60 6 34 44 37 34 13 mm. is ,S .,.U ,ff ,fm 5 315,f?if'3f-,rmiw ' Wwgigxm mf Axx. , v, it wi' L::,..,M. . , 7 311 fwhw.

The Owls had a season record of 8 wins and 13 losses. Their six and six record in the conference was good enough to place them third behind two stong teams, St. Pat's and Bradley. Not expected to do anything in the county tourney, the Owls knocked off seeded Sheldon to win fourth place in the tourney.- The Owls, despite their record, did show a great deal of improvement, thus giving to the cagers themselves and to their coaches, Pete Edinger and Dave Casstevens, a feeling of satisfac- tion.

The Owls diamond- men played ll games - winning 3 of them. The squad was composed mainly of sophomores and freshmen, but the Owls definitely displayed a great deal of improvement in their style of play. They will get better, too. The top three hitters for the team were Bill Dexter, Garyon Hurt, and Marvin Saxsma with averages of- .4-44, ,3'71, .291, re- spectively. The team ended up with a . 232 aver- age - going to bat 251 times and getting 58 hits. ll si ii it i S Sn 'S W 'x S x N NX X A X X X 3 CLASSES W fs Q. u 1' 1 ,X .X .1 53,55 f xl 5 ., x f 2 on I 5 ,at Zahn 7 and Duma 7754741 'kfxf 1 X4 H Q BACK ROW, from left to right: Pat Mitchell, Charlotte Zachgo, Twirling Captain, X gf A ll! 4 'C John Read, Drum Major, Jackie Bogard, Janet Koets, FRONT: Mary Willms, Zami 14 Zacvwl BACK ROW: Kathy Boebel, Carolyn Boebel, John Read, Ron Siems, John Smith, Mr Douglas fSponsorJ, Ruth Kremer.
