Some kids can hardly wait until they are out of High School but when you get old and gray like the class of '52 is now, you would give anything to go back when you were first starting as a Freshman again. Let's all go back and reminisce again. Remember when we were Freshmen, there were thirty-two of us that year. Glen Sievers was elected President of our class, Joe Shirk was Vice-President, Pauline Ohm, Secretary, and Anita Frick was Treasurer. Our sponsor was Dale Hamann. Remember everybody called us the green-freshmen. It took a little while to catch on to the daily routine but when we did everyone stayed out of our way. The only thing we really did that year was give an all-school party on April First. When we were Sophomores there were 25 students that enrolled in class. At our first class meeting we elected the following ofiicers: President, Alan Meyerg Vice-President, Wendell Pansag Secretary, Joanne Bydalekg and Treasurer, Anita Frick. Our class sponsor was Dale Hamann. During that year two new members were added to our class, they were Kenneth Oppenhuis and David Snow. Our first party of the year was the all-school Halloween Party and following it with the Thanksgiving Party. One thing that really stands out in my mind was the class party Joyce Mcliinstry gave at her place. We really had fun on the sleigh ride. On the first of March we lost a member of our class when Raymond Benck moved away. Oh, when we were Juniors, what a year! It seemed like we were always busy. There were twenty-three of us that enrolled in class. At our first meeting with our class sponsors, Miss Sherrard and Mr. Metzger, we elected the follow- ing oflicers: Gerry Cole, Presidentg Gerald Lubman, Vice-Presidentg Helen Holm, Secretaryg and Anita Frick, Treasurer. Gerald Lubman moved to Rock- ford and was replaced as vice-president by Richard Krohn. Two new students did start in the middle of the year but they both moved to other schools before the year was finished. Remember the times we had at the rehearsals for our junior play Seventeenth Summer. We really broke all the previous records with that play.

If I remember rightly, I believe Alan Meyer was high salesman in the magazine sale and joyce McKinstry was second. Oh, remember the Christmas party we sponsored. We had a sleigh ride, too. Anita Frick and Wendell Pansa were also crowned King and Queen at the party. Remember the times we had at the basketball games selling hot dogs, candy, pop corn and pop. We aim gof extmwgfzfzt am! pur- rlmrea' tl pop torn nzlzclaine. The stationery sale was about the last sale that we gave, following this, the biggest event of the second semester was the junior- Senior Prom. Oh, the hours and hours of work we put into the gym decorations and getting everything else ready. The Prom was held on May 5, 1951, and we chose the theme of Fairyland. The last event of that year was the Class Picnic that we had at the pit. Then, it seemed like no time at all and we were back in school again as Seniors. It just seemed like that year flew by. We started the year off with twenty-four members in our class. Our class sponsors were Mr. Gilbert Hamann and Mr. Warren Zimmerman. At our hrst meeting we elected the following officers: Richard Krohn . . President Arnold Richardson Vice President Helen Holm . . Secretary Anita Frick . Treasurer At the first all-school party, the Seniors initiated the Freshmen. Our first big event of the year was the Alumni Dance that we sponsored. It was held on Saturday, December l5, 1951. This was another busy year. On january 26, we sponsored a Sadie Hawkins All-School Party. It just seemed like the days whizzed by and before we knew it, it was April 5 and 4 and time for the Senior Play And Came the Spring. It turned out to be a great success. In Ike Spring our clay! took 11 couple of trip! to Claicago and than it zum' lime 2 mul iime for gmdzmtion. I can see us .now as we were lined up to march into the gym and wishing with all our hearts that we had at least another year to go yet, and then, it was all over with and how the years have hurriecfby since then.

First: It is our hope that the underclassmen have profited by the examples we set as Seniors and that we have instilled in their hearts a pleasing and last- ing impression. Second: We do give and bequeath to the class of 1953 our knowledge and privileges, known and described as follows: Our superior knowledge of scho- lastic and nonscholastic matters and our privileges as Seniors, such as ruling over the underclassmen. Third: We the class of 1952, do hereby will and bequeath the following items to the said persons with the hope that these, our last requests, will be faith- fully executed. To our class advisers and other members of the faculty we express our sin- cere thanks and appreciation for their patient and untiring efforts as they have helped us climb the ladder of success. To Mr. johnson, we leave a watch dog to corral all the kids from sleeping in the dressing room. To Mr. Hamann, we leave another pair of green socks for luck. His old ones probably have holes. To Miss johnson, we just leave! To Miss Wilt, we leave a couple of new electric stoves. To Miss Sherrard, we leave back-straighteners to make the trumpets sit up. To Mr. Miller, we leave a new box of Fab to wash out his test tubes. To Mr. Thomas, we will a Station wagon so he can haul more women teachers around. To Mr. Escorcia, we leave a shapely dish to help him with all of his work. To Mr. Zimmerman we leave a club to hit all of the boys in the third period study hall if they don't behave.

This document, though it may be disputed and slightly altered by unfore- seen events, is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, except for a few white lies. The description of the Alumni Dance to be held on the night of December li, l97i proceeds as follows:- Wliait is all that commotion over there. XVell, I'll be doggone, there is the famous pitcher of the Chicago White Sox, Al Meyer! You know of course that Al sparked the White Sox to their victory over the Cubs in the world series last year by winning fifty games and only losing one, while pitching I5 no- hitters, of course. ' Speaking of great ball-players, look who is arriving nowg why it's Joe Shirk, star shortstop of the Chicago Cubs who led the National League in just about everything last year with 212 stolen bases, Ill home runs, 20 walks, and a batting average of 899. Egads! Whzit is that thunderous noise? Oh! that is only George Pech in his super jet Zoomoplane. I guess that I forgot to tell you that George owns Trans- Planetonian Pech Airlines Uncorporated. He flew down to see all his old bud- dies of the chalk and eraser throwing days. I was really happy to see George because he was also publishing Fishing. Hunting, Fishing, and More Hunting Magazine as a sideline. Look! There's 'jake Hoekstra over there wearing a carpenters apron and holding a bag full of money in one hand and saw in the other. Jake just drove up in his favorite bull-dozer. jake QZillionaireD Hoekstra received world wide ordain a few years ago when he built a tunnel under the Pacihc Ocean from San Francisco to China. Now he is working on a 7,537 story school for the Com- munity of Grant Park. CThe population has been increasing and this new school should be adequate until the year 98,75-1585,-I2l,679,7 17,642.9 That woman over there with the golden evening gown is Joanne Bydalek. holder of the world's typing speed record. Joanne has typed as many as 875 words a minute. She finally got married to Al Meyer and they have 125 kids. Joanne says there really is a lot of money in the goat business. I Alumni Dance - December 15, 1975 CCmzIin1zed l There's Wayne Stadt, president of the Stadt-mobile Corporation. Wayne has invented a new type of Stadt-mobile which has everything including a kitchen sink and does everything, including flying. All of his automobiles and custom models, he throws away when they become soiled. All of his automo- biles are capable of traveling 500 miles per hour. Wayne recently married Gloria La Dagmar, the famous television glamour girl. Here comes the rich playboy, Richard Krohng who made a fortune from the recipe for his marvelous muscular development. He discovered this con- coction while a mere youth. He calls it Muscle El Expando with the famous no shrinko action. He brought a bus-load of girl friends along to dance with him. He does have a good job though, he's vice-president of the International Harvester Company. Now the crowd is making room for the President of the United States to walk there. Listen to the rousing cheers that he receives. He had to break an appointment with the Grand Boomache of Mars in order to come back to his old Alma Mater for this occasion. You know, Wayne Pansa has had the dis- tinction of becoming the youngest President of the United States. He is the most popular President the United States has ever had. He had the whole world sprayed with laughing gas. Now the people laugh so hard they don't have time for wars and lights. The orchestra selected for tonight has the distinction of having all the greatest musicians in the world in it. The world's greatest pianist, the former Anita Frick, who is going to play a brief concert consisting of 285 songs for the lfenelit of the people. She refuses to quit her job at Carnegie Hall, where she receives a salary of 551,500,000 a year because she says they could never live on her husbands ti5,oou,oooo a year salary. The guest vocalist for this evening is to be Meria Balgemann, the greatest opera, night-club, stage, television, folk ballad, radio, and movie singer. She's married to the wealthy oil magnate, john P. La Riches fthe man who invented moneyl. Last year Mercia bought Texasg but, she felt sorry for the Texans. who had nothing to brag about. and so she gave it back to them. Quiet, please! The orchestra is starting to play. What beautiful music! XVho's d?recting the orchestra? Oh, no! It can't be! It's Stinky CNorman Alumni Dance - December 15, 1975 fC0ntinuedI Matthiasb. Norman has replaced Toscininic. What's that you say? Norman flew in from his six million acre ranch in Australia just for this Homecoming? Gosh! He must have an awful lot of money. He sure does, but why shouIdn't he? Why, he has Dave Snow working for him. I always knew that some day Dave would put that knowledge he learned to good use, while working the printing press. Dave makes such good money, the Government has fired all its engravers and hired Dave to make all the money. That man over there in the hill-billy outfit is Tennessee Op, the new hill- billy yodeling sensation. You know . . . g Ken started out as a hill-billy singer in a rather strange way. One day he was out feeding his pigs, when an old sow grabbed hold of his leg and made him yell something awful. It just happened that Tennessee Ernie was driving past then. When Ernie heard Kenfhe knew right then and there that Ken should be a hill-billy crooner. The woman who is the M.C. of the program is Pauline Ohm. She married some St. Anne Asparagus King several years ago. Her voice may sound familiar to you, because she has been announcer at the Grant Park wrestling matches for the past live years. She did pretty well on that funny half-laugh, half-giggle, and half-scream of hers! She has it patented and receives huge royalties for it from the mouse trap companies who use it in their advertisements. Here comes the Richardsons. Arnold married Helen after a ten year en- gagement. She was rather mean though. She made Arnold give up wrestling, just when he won the World's Wrestling Championship for the fourth year in a row. Helen was the world's foremost woman explorer for a time. She dis- covered No Place! No Place is situated in the Invisible Sea near No Place. The island was found to be inhabited by nobody. Do you see that handsome, suave, debonnaire man standing by the door, with that huge crowd of beautiful women around him? That is Wendell La Pansa, the movie star. One day he accidentally drank some silage juice, and before he knew what was happening, he had a head of beautiful. black, wavy hair. Ever since, the girls haven't been able to resist him. Look! They're crowning the Queen of the ball. Why it's Barbara Spry. I Alumni Dance - December 15, 1975 ICm1!if111ecfl thought she was over in England with her husband, the Prime Minister of England. Barbara has been writing novels lately. Her last book, which has sold over live zillion copies so far this year, was entitled Rich Man or Look Ma, Willie Married An Heiress! Glen Sievers, the star basketball player of the Los Angeles Rams, just arrived in his special limousine made of chartreuse chromium with hundreds of solid gold basketballs on it. Glen led the league in scoring this year. He has scored a total of 2,50l points in 25 games for an average of 100.04 points per game. -A Speaking of great athletics, here comes Paul Arends, the All American boy. Patil has received world wide acclaim for his good, clean sportsmanship. Paul has not had a single foul called against him in over 2,000 basketball games. Paul has also endorsed more boxes of breakfast cereal than any other man. Last year Corn Ooozies paid Paul live zillion dollars. There's the man who invented Corn Ooozies, Freddie Schweppe. Freddy became tired of his breakfast cereal snapping, popping, and crackling at him. He set to work and invented a new cereal that doesn't snap, pop, or crackle . . .g it simply sits there and oozes. We are fortunate to have Joyce Mcliinstry here tonight. She won the two million dollar apple pie baking contest. It was a mistake though. She put ptathe' in the pie instead of apples, that's why the judges thought it tasted so good. joyce married the famous French beauty salon operator, Andre Snod- grass.

The power equipment on hand at the beginning of the year was a jig saw, sander, power saw, an electric hand sander which was traded for another one. This sander is larger and is equipped with a vacuum type dust bag. Every thing from shelves to cedar chest and desks were made by the twenty- four boys enrolled in Shop I, II, and III this year. The first year boys were re- quired to make a bird house, candle stick holders, puzzle board, tie rack, and a waste basket. The shop II and III boys made such things as nic-nac shelves. two cedar chests, a car ramp, coffee tables, and book stands. Mr. Hamann also had one class repairing electric motors most of the year. Chemistry For the first time at Grant Park High School, chemistry was taught. There is no doubt that chemistry is a worthwhile and interesting field in which to study. The chemistry class of this year consisted of 14 students all of whom were juniors and seniors. The 14 students paired up so each one could have what we call lab partners. Twice a week experiments were held in the lab. Though our lab equipment isn't quite complete, we had enough minor experiments to do, such as finding the different types of metals, making oxygen and hydrogen, and finding the properties of hydrochloric acid. Since chemistry deals a lot with atomic energy and atoms it proved very interesting especially since our life will and does deal a lot with atomic energy. We think chemistry will be a very popular course for future high school students to take.

ATHLETICS ATHLETICS hx The Varsity Of the eleven boys carried on the varsity squad, nine are seniors and two are juniors. This group of veterans expressed their determination at the start to better last year's 19-7 record and did so in an impressive manner. They began to collect championships by taking first place in their own Holiday Tournament and followed this by winning the first K.V.C. Tournament cham- pionship in the school's history. This was followed by adding another K.V.C. co-championship for the season. In the District finals the Dragons determina- tion was tested to the utmost but they came through in the final seconds and added the fourth trophy of the season to their collection. They also added an- other first in the school's history by winning their first game in the Regional Tournament from a good Blue Island team. These boys who won 27 out of 30 games played stressed team play through- out the season. In piling up l,956 points 164.5 averageb to their opponents l,460 C487 avetagel each of the six veterans who started the games was a star in his own right. ' Shirk and Meyer were outstanding scorers. 4553 points for Shirk-flS,l game average and 523 for Meyer-17.4 game averageb.

They won 16 games and only lost 5. During these I9 games the team averaged close to 50 points a game. Of the three losses, one was to a very strong Kankakee sophomore team. The outstanding feature about this team was its all-around balance, with six players on the actual starting team. If one player had a cold night, some- one else would come through and make up for it. Though not a tall team, they usually had the fight and the will to win. One good example of this was during the Momence game when, trailing by lS points at half-time, they came out and beat Momence. Since the Varsity loses S of its IO players, many of these boys will be on the heavyweight team next year. lf they continue to show the improvement and fight, Grant Park will be hard to beat. The Freshman squad also had a winning season, winning three out of four games. Baseball Summary For the first time in the history of our conference, high school haseball was played during the summer. Grant Park won the Northern division of the Kan- kakee Valley Conference on August 8 with a l to O victory over a tough Peo- tone team. Then the Dragons played St. Pats, who had won the Southern division, and defeated Grant Park 6 to l. . For the coming season the outlook is good. The Dragons have an all-x'et- eran team returnin Y. This, along with a fear of ex werience, makes the outlook E cw l very bright. Arnold Richardson, of course, will be the pitcher and Wentlell Pansa will do the catching for the fourth straight year. ln the infield. Tom Lord has the inside track at first, Alan Meyer at second, joe Shirk at shortstop, and Maynard Struple at third. The outfield prospects are: Wfayne Pansa, Glen Sievers, Ron- ald Schneider, Lorenz Petersen, Homer lioop, George Pech. and Bill Sanders. Ronald Schneider and Tom Lord could also develop into two pretty good pitchers. Paul Arends could make a fine infielder, too. The relief pitcher for the squad probably will be Wziyne Pansa who throws 11 nice round-house curve. lf the team can begin to hit with any consistency at all, this year's squad should rack up another championship.

'L The Calemlar School . . . it is the topic of most conversations about the last of August. The day of August 31, 195 1, was a day that will be long remembered by the Seniors and Freshmen. For the Freshmen it was a new and thrilling experience, and we Seniors were coming back for a last bit of knowledge before entering our wide world. To add a bit of calmness to the day we had the Sophomores and juniors with us. We really started school correctly, Labor Day vacation on September 3. From here on we were a busy bunch until May 51. just to show that they could use a bit more knowledge, the teachers attended County Institute, October 12-15. The first six weeks quickly passed. Some of our grades weren't so good but we all reseller! to do better next time. The junior Class presented their play, which was entitled Cheaper by the Dozen, October 26 and 27.

Ho..,s,s I ' The flllillll'6ll,S Hour Betwcen the dark and the daylight Wlieri the night is beginning to lower Comes a pause in the days occupations, That is known as the childrens hour. I hear in the chamber above me The patter of little feetg The sound of a door that is opened And voices soft and sweet. From my study I see in the lamplight, Descending the broad hall stair, Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair. A whisper, and then a silence, Yet l 'know by their nterry eyes They are plotting and planning together 'lo rake me by surprise. A sudden rush from the stairwayg A sudden raid from the hall, By three doors left unguarded They enter my castle-wall. They climb up into my turret, O'er the arms and back of my chairg lf l try to escape, they surround meg They seem to be everywhere. They almost devour me with kisses, Their arms about me entwine, Till l think of the Bishop of Bingen, ln his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine. Do you think, O blue-eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old mustache as l am ls not a match for you all? l have you fast in my fortress. And will not let you depart. But put you into the dungeon. In the round-tower of my heart. And there l will keep you forever- Yes, forever and a dayg Till the walls shall crumble to ruin. And moulder in dust away. -I.m1tQft'lfn1c' W Eighth Grade I !'07If Roux Left in Riglvf: Janet Ohlenhamp, Joyce Eckhoti, Marilyn Grimes, Donna NXfallace, Janet Lawrence.

With only two regulars returning from last yearis conference champions, the Little Reds relied on fast breaking forwards, and all over the court press and accuracy at the free throw line. The climax of the season came with a win over Crete to take 3rd place in the Little Seven Tournament. The high point of the year, however, was a smashing 51-30 victory over Momence in the opening round of the tourney. Driving to avenge an earlier defeat at the hands of the Redskins. The Pirates kept pace during the first quarter which ended 9-9. In the second quarter, with each player hitting at least once from the field, the Grant team led at the half 2,1-15. They continued this torrid pace and even the substitutes entering the game freely near the end, could not prevent a rout. ln this game Propes dumped in ZS points which was a single game high for the tournament. Over the season Propes led the scoring with 172. Struple was next with 145. Other regulars scoring were Heusing with 58, Sanders 53. Sohman 16, and Esson 1 '1. The substitute scoring was led by Lawrence and Baker with 3 points each, followed by Luster with 2. High in free throw percentage was Struple with forty-eight per cent.
