F5511- 5 + x + Dedication The l946 edition of The Pylon is respectfully dedicated to the boys and girls who are alumni of our high school and who were members of the armed Services of the United States during World War II between the dates of December 7, 1941, and V-J Day in August, 1945. In special commemoration a military depart- ment containing photographs of the eighty-two al- umni, with service records, has been included in this volume. I Theirs was a high call to duty for their country's honor. We accord to them our deep grat- ification for their sacrifices. Alumni, we salute you!

The staff wishes to express their thanks to Mr. Hill for his assistance, the typists who worked so faithfully, and the rest of the faculty for their aid in seeing that the Pylon was published. Gridlite The latter part of September the first Gridlitc was pub- Iished. From then on one rolled off the press every other week ior the rest of the year. Ken Stahly and Dean Mulligan managed the financial prob- lem. i Mr. Hill worked as censor to keep the paper up to stand- ards while Miss Curtis corrected all errors in grammar. The class news came in regularly from Marguerite Kronos, Donna Litwiller, John Lehman, and Ruth Wright. The HCOVGP Alln, which contained all the gossipy little facts, was handed in by Lucille Kuntz, Lorraine Finck, Mari- lyn Zehr, and Roslyn Kahle. The society news and school events were reported by Shirley Rich and Howard Lehman. Stanley Hauser and Homer McCullough worked as co-editons of the sports column. Joan Kuerth, editor, and Kathleen Grusy, assistant, thought UP iHtGPCStinS feature articles and kept the regular articles going. These two with the able assistance of the other staff members and the Typing II class did the stencils and ran off all the papers on the mimeograph machine. . -.Q . . - , -133.-ve 'nh I .- -.HM .fgfwb X ' ' . wffzfil , ' 4 gf' 1 'fish f .

Barbara Cory runs sway from home to prevent her mer- riage to Cloyd Parker, s wealthy old man whom her aunt wish- es her to merry. On her way she gets stuck in the snow and comes to this mysterious house on the hill. Later Letty Flanders, also running sway, comes to this place. Soon dter Lctty's srrivsl, Dick Lawrence enters saying he has lost his way. Oscer, Letty's boyfriend, comes to tskc her beck homey but the storm becomes worse, Another knock is heard on the door, Alma, Bcrbcrls sunt, appears, having followed her all the way. She is s snivelingy snebbing women of fifty, who takes orders from Barbara's fiance', Cloyd Parker. Rathburne Wentworth, the sarcastic owner of the house, believes that this is a play to get him to find more trouble. Rathburne, then, by a warning tried to persuade his companv to leave. Dick Lawrance, the young lawyer, isn't so easily frightened. Finally he discovers Mrs. Wentworth was Barbara's mother and her nephew had hired Parker to kidnap and kill her daughter, Barbara, so ho could inherit the money. Parker had double- orossed Mrs. Wentworth's nephew and given Barbara to one of his friends, Alma Cory to raise and plsnned to marry her.

Mr. Smudgley has rearranged everything, by talking to Mr. Jones. Now Paul has to go to summer school if he does not make an average of 95. Paul is very much upset and goes on a cram session, trying to study much harder. Krammer, another graduate, received his early gradua- tion present, which is a yellow, convertable coupe. Jane plans to have a date with Krammer, but Paul persuades her to cancel the date, by informing her that he will pass the exam With this, Jane breaks her date with Krammer, Jack and Krammer plan to break into Mr. Smudgleys office to copy the examination answers. The watchman, who guards the school sees them, but, not knowing who it is, finds Paul's flashlight, which Jack had borrowed and dropped. He imw mediately goes to Mr. Smudgley's house to report the situa tion. Mr. Smudgley drives over to Mr. Jones' home and re verses all the examination papers to find the real burgler. It happened that Krammer told Jack the exams just opposite, because he knew Jack would tell Paul. The next day they take their examinations, and Paul and Jack get them right, and Krammer has his all reversed. Mr. Smudgley apologizes to Raul and then goes to pay Krammer a visit. Junior wanted Paul to flunk the sham so he could ware his new swimming suit and beach robe. All ends well with Junior disgusted, Paul and Jane going on a vacation, and Jack and Mary back together again. Student Council At the first Student Council meeting this year-nominate ions were made for officers, The school elected the follow' ing persons to preside: Joe Ellenboryer President, 'Roger Kaufman, YicemPresident, Jane Rllenterger, SJGIGEHIS, GHG Kathleen Grusy, Treasurer. Miss Zlnmerman was chosen to-be our advisors The members of our council supervised the election of another cheerleader to fill the vacancy left by Catherine Klopfenstein lSlagell3, and to assist Jane Ellenberger and Sarah Funk-in this activityf Lorraine Finck was almost un- animously elected. The Council bought two books of yells to be placed in the library for future reference for the cheerleaders. We sponsored the first all school party this yearg and that was at Christmas. Various games were played and a gift exchange was held. At the end of the evening, refreshments were servedx It was concluded by the majority of the school students that, since they enjoyed dancing over the noon hours, a bet- ter source of music than a piano was needed. The Council took up the matter immediately and decided to purchase m juke box+ As yet, it has not arrived at school, but all are waiting for it to come. On Washingtonfs birthday anniversary, February 22, the Council sponsored e dence with Toby Davidsonfs Orchestra. A pop stand was set up to help our finances. The gym was apr propriately decorated, and a large crowd was in attendance to enjoy the evening. Toward the end of the year on election will be held to decide who will serve as representatives for the Council next year. We believe that the Student Council is a worthwhile orgy anization and hope that next year's group wills show a let of progress--we wish you SUCCESS and lots of GOOD LUCK!

I FOOTBALL Football came back to Gridley Community High School af- ter four years' absence. Thirty-two men reported to Coach Lange a week before school started and began a week's drud- gery of getting in shape. This being our first year in foot- ball, Coach Lange had to train each man on the squad for a certain position. This took patience and a lot of encourage- ment from the boys trying to make good. Coach Lange finally got a team together for a practice with Clinton, who also hadn't had football in two years. Although Gridley won only one game this season, they had a very successful season and succeeded in building up teams for future years. From this year's team go seven seniors, Joe Ellenberger, Paul Reeves, HDoxn Hayes, NSpecn Meiss, John Kahle, Ken Stah- ly, and nBlimpn McKinley. This leaves four players who will be the backbone of the team next year. 'flith dependable, hard working men with experience and some lower classmen com- ing up we should have a very successful team next year. Scores of Games Gridley V. S. Clinton 54 Gridley V. S.

Gridley - 46 Chenoa 15 Chatsworth 20 Forrest 6 Opponents - 156 In the new Illini Conference, Gridley placed Third next to Chenoa and Lexington. The standings follow: W L Chenoa 4 O Lexington 5 1 Gridley 1 5 Forrest O 4 Colfax 0 O G. C. H. S. V. S. Gridley traveled to Clinton 55 1.000 .750 .250 .000 .000 Clinton to play a practice game. Clinton had a little experience and some mighty big men and came through on the top side of the score 54 to O. All of Gridley's team played a gallant but losing battle all the way to the end. Clinton kept us in tow most of the game, but we took advantage of some of their blunders and kept them going at their best. G. C. H. S. V. S. El Faso El Paso handed Gridley its second straight defeat. El- Paso had an all veteran squad and were by far the favorites. The El Paso attack was led by Donze, Nohren, and Bennett. El Paso scored twice in the first period by blocking two of our punts. In the second period, they scored twice more by their fine blocking and running attack. Gridley also scored in thhat period with Meiss going over from the two yard line climaxing a 60 yard drive. During the second half, it was a nip and tuck game with both teams see-sawing back and forth until the final whistle. Gridley was in El Paso's territory most of the second half, but couldn't break their defense to score. The final score 28 to 7. G. C. H. S. V. S. Lexington Gridley got its first taste of playing football in rainy weather. The inexperienced eleven ran up against some more pretty tough competition and it was a hard fought battle all the way through. E Lexington started off with a touchdown in the first quarter. After that, a Gridley march took the ball to Lexington's one foot line where Lexington took over the ball and kicked out of danger. In the second half Gridley annexed another march of BO yards with Meiss going over for the score. The game then became a defensive game with nei- ther side gaining any yardage. With a few minutes to go and Lexington in front 7 to 6, Gridley opened up a passing of- fense. Bill Claggett, speedy Lexington half back, intercept- ed a pass and ran 65 yards down the side lines to break up the game and give Lexington a victory. Final score 15 to 7. - G. C. H. S. V. S. Morton An all veteran team came up from Morton to play the small, green Gridley eleven. This was Gridley's first home game, and every member of the team was wanting to make a good showing. Morton out weighed our team and used their weight to a good advantage. Morton used a single-wing of- fense which we could not stop, and their elusive runners. We took advantage of all the breaks we could find. Their de- fense was so good that Gridley oouldn't find any breaks to jump on. Gridley got the ball rolling in the 5rd and 4th quarters and was on Morton's 15 yard stripe when the whistle ended the game. The final score 26 to O, G. C. H. S. V. S. Eureka Gridley traveled over to Eureka to play their last game under the arcs. Eureka had an almost equally green team, so every thing was even between the two teams. Eureka was back Gi with their star player, Uenany, who is one of the finest backs in Central Illinois. uDoxn Hayes, who tore his knee cap in Eureka scored jumped the Morton game, returned to strengthen our line. had things pretty much their way the first half and two touchdowns. In the second half, however, Gridley to life and scored two touchdowns before Eureka knew what was happening. Our line began to function and we were running over the Eureka line. Our beckfield seemed to click and the timing and blocking were something to watch. Heiss, Martin, Stahley and Kahle did a remarkable bit of running. Although Gridley lost the game in the score, they played ball. The final score 14 to 12. G. C. H. S. V. S. Chenoa Chenoa, one of our neighboring towns and oldest rival, came over to renew our feud. Chenoe had s well balanced team with experience, and the two teams were out to get each other. Chenoa and Gridley played an even first half with both teams playing e kicking game to find each other's weak- nesses. Neither team was able to gain ground and fought to a O to O score at the half. The second half turned out en- tirely differently. Chenoa took advantage of two breaks and scored as many touchdowns in the 5rd quarter. With seconds left to go Stehly passed to Kdhle in the end zone for the score. Kaufman caught e pass for the extra point. One of the outstanding feats of the dey was Mertin's punting. He punted s 70 and 60 yard kick respectively in succession. The final score l5 to 7. A G. C. H. S. V. S. Chatsworth Chatsworth, chnmpion of the Vermillion League, and un- defeated so fer this year, played-Gridley its last home game. Chatsworth out weighed our team very much and used their weight to crush our line. Our team played gellantly and to the last, but oouldn't stop the herd charging Chatsworth team. Chatsworth was always threatening to score or make gains in yards and that kept Gridley on the defense all of the game. lChatsworth scored three touchdowns in the first half and one in the last half.D G. C. H. S. V. S. Forrest This was Gridley's last game, and they were out to get their first victory at Forrest. Forrest had a good team and was out to win, but Gridley was even more determined to win. The game started out with a Gridley march, but it was stogxd by a fumble. Gridley regained the ball then and went on to a touchdown with' Meiss plunging over from the 2 yard line climaxing a 60 yard drive. Forrest was not beaten for they came right back and scored on us, thus making the score 7 to 6 in Gridley's favor. In the last quarter Kaufman made a beautiful running catch of Stahly's 20 yard pass and went over for the score. Kaufman also caught the pass for point after the touchdown. The final score was 14 to 6. The lettermen for Gridley's l946 football team are as follows: Rogers uPokeH Kaufman, Donald uSparkyU Adims, Duane Guth, Gene uBlimpu McKinley, Bill nDoxu Hayes, Kenny Stahly, Paul nTonyn Reeves, Joe Ellenberger, Everett Martin, Edson nPeachfuzzn Kiefer, Floyd uSpecH Meiss, John Diggle, John Kahle, and Leo Reeves. 1' is :T Lal T- r I Mq.. ,L , 1 lx wTl'rm-N Und-iie.

The squad was finally out down to twenty men who tried to live up to Gridley tradition of having a good basketball team. Gridley lost three good players in Ralph Zlopfenstein, Ty Kaufman, and Vic Rich, but they were well replaced. Five men returned from the lest year ten to give Gridlcy plenty of experience. These were as fellows: Floyd Reiss, Joe Hllen- berger, Len Stehly, Poke Leufnan, and Ev Kartin. Johnny Diggle csze up and fitted very nicely on the team. The team playing their first ycer under Seach Lange started out like an all veteran squad which make them one of the stronger teams in Central Illinois. Since Gridley lacked in heighth, they concentrated on speed. They used a fest break to get the ball down the floor before the opponents could set s de- fense. Their defense was e shifting men to nan, by which as you have seen in the pest games, usually ned the other teams stumped. From these twenty men, seventeen will be beck next year to help put Gridley up to their winning standing. Three sen- iors who will leave this year squad which are as follows: Floyd Keiss, Joe Ellenberger, and Ken Stahly. With many vet- erans returning next year and lower clessmen advancing rap- idly, the W47H team should be as powerful as ever. If the student body gets behind and helps, how can you lose?

At the drawing Flanagan was paired with Lexington and Gridley was paired with Chenoa. In the first round, Lexington romped over Flanagan. Flanagan led most of the game and at the halftime was in from 20 to 15. In the second half, Lexington came back and went ahead to wina In the second game, Gridley ran over Chenoa 40 to 22. Grldley started off with barrage of baskets and was'nev- er threatened henceforce.Gridley gradually pulled away until the game ended with a score of 40 to 22. In. the consolation game, Chenoa and Flanagan met for the third place honor. After a nip and tuck basketball, Flanagan finally squeezed through to win 25 to 24. In the championship game, Gridley trounced Lexington 46 to 22, Gridley started out in ahead and were never threateneda Gridley proved to be far the superior team in the tournament Illini Conference A new conference was formed with several surrounding towns competing. These were as follows: Chenoa, Lexington, Forrest, Colfax, and Gridley. This conference included foot ball, basketball, and track. Gridley came through with the championship trophy in basketball with a l.OOO percent over age. Gridley's first game was with Forrest, Vermillion Lea- ,ue's leader. The Redskins won out of a ver? convincin vic E tory 49 to 27. In a return game, however, Forrest proved to be better fighters and came very close to beating Gridley. The score was 55 to 50 in tories were rivals, and, terrific battle. Gridley scores of 54 to 28 and 45 Lexington by a big margin ever, was very different, G-ridle3f's favor. The next tow Vic from the hands of Cnonoa. They were our nearest although they had a green team, they put up a came through, though, and won by to 55. The Redskins then subdued of 42 to 22. The return game, how for Lexington kept up with us for three uarters but finall fell back in the last aeriod and J. allowed the Redskins to pull ahead and win 29 to 25. Due to schedule difficulties, Gridley did not plat Colfax. Gridley well deserved the championship trophy for they displayed fine easkctball playing and fine sportsmanship. McLean County Tournament Gridley, one offthe pre-tournament favorites, came thr- ough to.take the McLean County Tournament by beating their opponents by scores of 2 to 1, thus taking the Pantagraph Traveling Trophy and the McLean County Championship Trophy. In the first round, the Redskins met and beat a courageous Carlock team by a very handsome score of 72 to 50. Carlock was beaten from the start for the Redskins were just too good for them. Gridley was then matched by a strong Anchor team, another pre-tournament favorite. Anchor had one of the tallest teams in the county, but were no match for the speedy Redskins and lost by a score of 59 to 14. One of the amazing things of the game was that the Redskins held Anchor to just 2 points in the first half. In the semi-finals, Gridley 'met the strongest defensive team in the County when they met Bellflower. Bellflower held Gridkay to just 50 points, but they themselves only made ll. The Redskins also held this team down to just 5 points in the first half. In the championship game, Gridley ran over a tall Cropsey five 46 to 26 revenging the defeat the Redskins received ln the quarter-finals of last year's tournament. The Redskins preformed magnificently the whole tourna- ment and well deserved the trophy they received. They show- ed one of the finest exhibition of floorwork ever put on by a high school team. Their passing and timing were so accu- , rate that the opponents were just baffled. The Redskins played a fast game all the way through the tournament and their physical condition was a main step in our winning the County. Prairie Conference Gridley finished in a tie with Washington for third place in the Prairie Conference. This ycar's conference was tougher than any year's prior to this. Any of six teams could have won it for never was the competition so evenly matched. Gridley had a record of 7 wins and 5 losses for a percentage of .585. Gridley started out as if they were go- ing to retain the championship crown with three consecutive victorys. The Redskins started with a victory over Roanoke. The Redskins began clicking from the start and didn't let up until the finall whistle and came out the victors 34 to 23. f Minonk was our next victim but proved to he good scrapers. After an even first half, the Redskins came back in the last half and beat them 43 to 50. Gridley then ran over Metamora, the Prairie Cmmference Champions, by a score of 45 to 50. It was an interesting game the first quarter, but Gridley soon went ahead and was never threatened. Gridley lost two quick ones to El Paso and Roanoke respectively by scores of 54 to 41 and 52 to 53. Gridley traveled to Eureka to meet a green team which went down fighting 36 to 29. The Redskin 8 then met er by Wa defeat i another move the Metamora the last thinking them and feat. G we beat a good fast team and were beaten in the last quart- shington 59 to 46. E1 Paso then handed us a second n a exciting game 52 to 55. Gridley handed Minonk defeat by a free scoring game 52 to 55 and back a- .500 mark.

He was a constant sco- rer around the basket area as well as a rugged rebounder. On defense he was very dependable. Kenneth Stahlyg d Stahly played a forward position. He was a capable dew fenslve man and a good shot from the corners, and semi-long scoring area made him a valuable man. His ability to hit free-throws added to his scoring total. Joe Ellenbergerg Ellenberger played either e forward or a guard position. Good ball handling and floor work on his part gave us advant- age when it was important to get the ball down the court to the scoring area. Rogers Kaufman: Kaufman played the center position. His asset to the team was evident in scoring, rebounding, and excellent de- fense. His ability to out smart the taller centers was a major factor contributing to his scoring power. Everett Martin: Martin played a guard Qposltion. Ability to score and guard along with excellent ball handling stamped him as a threat to all opponents. His aggressive rebounding added to value on the team. John Dlggleg Diggle, smallest man on the floor, played a guard pose ltlon. Clever ball han llng and floor work, were him main attributes. His ability to nfeedn the ball to the forwards and center in setting up scoring situations cannot be overe looked. Russel Martin, Leo Reeves, Wilbur Haase, Alan Freed, and Donald Adams all contributed to the team's success as substitutes throughout the year. This year's team was an example of superior teamwork. Speed, ballhandling, mental poise, and will-to-win were fac- tors that made them one of the outstanding basketball teanw in Central Illinois. Major letters will be given to the following boysg Floyd Meiss, Kenneth Stahly, Joe Ellenberger, Rogers Kaufman, Everett Martin, and John Dlggle.

High, win- ner of the Fairbury game, in the semi-finals. U. High beat Gridley in a thrilling game last year in the Regional finals by a one point margin. Both teams wd'e out for each other's skin.
