PEOPLE...................20 ACTIVITIES...............42 ORGANIZATIONS............54 ATHLETICS................72 WE HONOR MISS CONNOLLY, OUR TEACHER OUR ADVISER, AND OUR FRIEND We sought for our dedication a member of the faculty who, to us, most typified the educational standards we hoped for as freshmen and attained as seniors; someone who guided us through those early formative years of development a s underclassmen and helped shape our lives for the future. To us. Miss Eileen Connolly exemplified these very traits — a teacher who has shown great versatility in her work with young people, blending thoroughness of instruction with a pleasing personality, thereby having a great and wonderful influence on her students. To you. Miss Connolly, member of the Hall faculty for more than two decades, and sponsor of the I-Try since 1940, the class of 1958 wishes to dedicate this annual. 4 D. A. R. AWARD WINNER The outstanding senior good citizenship girl for this year was Catherine Petroski. Selected by the faculty and the senior class, she received the Daughters of the American Revolution award on the basis of dependability, truthfulness, responsibility, leardership, personality, self-control, initiative, patrotism, and unselfish loyalty to American ideals.

Her numerous duties are a constant aid to the principal, the teachers, and the students. The student assistant in the office was Mary Ellen Manning. The foundation of our school is the Board of Education. These citizens give their time toward a good educational program which will provide better citizens for tomorrow. These members are to be highly commended for their effort. GOOD ADMINISTRATION LEADS THE WAY SEATED: Rollo Parmenter, John Pini, John Bussa, Walter Bernatavich.

Each of you now becomes one of the many hundred alumni of Hall High School. Many of you will be continuing your education on through college. Do your best in whatever you undertake. Your parents deserve much credit towards your attainment of this milestone in your life. In many cases they have made sacrifices that you might remain in school. Appreciation of their efforts will be realized more and more as you meet the competition in life. Virgil W. Bingman ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL For nations to compete sucessfully in the world today there must be an ever increasing shift from manpower to automatic machine power. This, in turn, entails a shift in educational emphasis from physical accuracies and less difficult mental challenges to areas of the more complex and more difficult, as machines must be designed, constructed, and operated to replace human physical energy. Finally, our complacency, equaled only by that of the proverbial hare, has been disturbed. Thanks to Sputnik I for its keen awakening job dealt our enormous educational Rip Van Winkle.

TRI-M — ENCOURAGES INTEREST IN MUSIC Modern Music Masters, better known as Tri-M, under the direction of Mary K. Juettemeyer and Richard Schulz, is one of the honor clubs of our high school. Only juniors and seniors are eligible for membership because students must have completed two years as members of the band or chorus as B students and fulfilled a total of ten public performances before they can be initiated. Tri-M sponsors the Chirstmas concert by the combined band and the choruses. Tri-M members also perform for various civic organizations throughout the year. This club tries to foster among its members a love for good music and the desire to continue this career in the future. Tri-M's chief aim is to encourage musical scholarship. The club's big project this year was to finish paying for the very beautiful red robes that were purchased for the Mixed Chorus two years ago. Tri-M, a local chapter of a national organization to which is is a great honor to belong, was led by Anthony Bashir, president; Ronald Price, vice-president; Cathy Petroski, secretary; Sally Phelps, treasurer; and Karon Hopkins, historian. The Hall Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America has once again completed a successful season. The field trips of both the juniors and seniors, freshmen and sophomores, to Peoria were the most outstanding events held during the year. Christmas, which is a busy time, found the club making favors for St. Margaret's hospital. The Pleasant View Lutheran Home, and Hassley's Health Haven. Cookies and candies were baked by the freshmen members for the Christmas Tea, on December 19. Another very important activity was the Mother-Daughter Banquet hel don December 2.

The first Freeport score came early in the first period. Hall soon retaliated in the same period with a touchdown from Jim Jablonski. At the half the score stood 7-6. Freeport came back strong and scored again. Again the Red Devils came back with a 73 yard run by Leon Mavity for the final score of the evening. Hall 19—Mendota 0 In their second showing of the year the Hall Devils held Mendota's Trojans to a game which for them was scoreless. The Red and White dominated the entire first half with an impressive display of their offensive abilities. Leon Mavity was the first to score when he found an opening over the left guard. Hall’s next two scores were the result of some fine passing from Jerry Panizzi. His first touchdown pass was to Ray Mack, who caught the ball on the 25 yard line. Soon he passed to Mavity who was standing in the end zone. The second half of the game was scoreless. Hall 21—Princeton 18 Hall continued its winning streak by defeating Princeton. This was accomplished when the Devils played one of their better games of the season. Hall's first score was the result of a run over the right by Chuck” Turmpinski. The Redmen were losing 12-7 at the half. When the game resumed, the Devils soon made an improvement in the score with a touchdown by Bernie Konek. The extra point was achieved with a run by Konek. He was also responsible for Hall's next score, and Jerry Panizzi kicked for the extra point. Hall 6—DeKalb 27 Hall received its first taste of defeat when DeKalb ruined the Homecoming. The only Hall score was the outcome of a pass from Panizzi to Trumpinski in the fourth quarter. DeKalb scored its four touchdowns only after having to fight for every inch, thanks to Hall's defense. Hall 0—Ottawa 1 3 Coach Harry Ewing and his players suffered their first and only shut-out of the season at the hands of Ottawa. Hall seemed at a loss when it came to offense. The Redmen suffered badly from numerous fumbles and interceptions. Hall was also lacking the services of Dan Podobinski who was ousted early in the game. Whatever the reason, Hall had its problems that night. Hall 6—Dixon 26 After two postponments, the Hall-Dixon clash was played at Dixon. Hall was hard hit by a wave of injuries during the game when four of Hall's first-stringers were temporarily benched. All of Dixon's scores were made by Brainerd. Jim Jablonski was responsible for Hall’s only score of the evening. Hall 6—Sterling 13 The Red Devils were dealt their fourth defeat of the season by the Sterling Warriors. Hall’s only score was gained by Leon Mavity on a 70-yd. run. This touchdown followed a nullified touchdown by Ray Mack on a pass from Jim Jablonski. Charles Trumpinski was removed to the hospital following an injury received in the game. Hall 14—Ottawa Marquette 7 The Devils accomplished their objective when they turned their sights on Ottawa Marquette. The Redmen scored late in the first quarter with a running pick-up by Leon Mavity. Ray Mack went over for Hall’s final score in the second period. Marquette scored in the third quarter, and seemed determined to do so again in the fourth. They were stopped by the Hall line. Hall 20—St. Bede 19 In their final contest of the year, the Hall gridders took St. Bede's in a game played in a freezing rain. Early in the game St. Bede took the lead. Just after the half, St. Bede was leading 19-6. Jim Jablonski scored Hall's first touchdown. In the third and fourth guarters Hall made an amazing comeback with two more touchdowns by Jablonski. The final score was 20-19 in favor of Hall. This victory gave Hall its first successful season in three years. ROW 1 : Darryl Vysocky, Robert Johnston, Lawrence Orisek, Bradford Eustice.

RAY MACK—Ray, a 6'0 senior guard and forward, was the biggest asset to our team. He was one of the brightest players and he always stood out with his shooting and rebounding. He had the most points and held the highest percentage for games. He rated first on the Illinois Valley Conference Team on Channel 35. Ray had many bad times with his ankles but still kept up his percentage. JOHN OSSOLA—John saw the third year with the varsity and showed remarkable improvement throughout the season. John scored third on the Channel 35 Illinois Valley conference team for the centers. GERALD TABER—Gerry, a 5’10 senior guard played consistently on the varsity. A good shooter, Jerry helped the team with his dependable floorwork. LEON MAVITY—Leon, a 5’11 guard and forward, saw a lot of action this year. He is a good ball handler and dribbler. He is also a versatile floor man. His work at rebounding was outstanding; and, sin.o he is only a junior, he will be part of next year’s nucleus. BOB MACK—Bob, a 5'10 guard who played with the frosh-soph team last season, made a fine showing as a varsity player this year. The young sophomore was second in scoring for the team. A fine dribbler. Bob helped the team with his oustanding floorwork. We hope to see much more action from him in his next two years. KEN BAUM—Ken, our 6'2 senior forward, also played center. A very good rebounder, he helped the team in many of its hard times. Ken played first string in some of the games. RICHARD BRUNO—Rich, our 6 1” junior forward, also played center. A very hard worker and on excellent rebounder, ho was a great help to the team. Rich will be back next year and will be a great asset to the team. CHARLES TRUMPINSKI—Chuck, a S'B' j junior, is another boy who saw limited action as a substitute guard. He was out part of this year because of his accident in football. We hope to see more action from him in his senior year. GEORGE MICHELETTI—George, a 6’% senior forward, also played guard. A very hard worker and a good floorman, he showed great improvement in the Big 4 tournament. GERALD MACKENZIE—Gerry, a 5 1 1 ’ senior forward, played good ball this year. He was strong under the boards on offense and defense. RONALD MALCOLM—Ron, a junior guard, saw limited action but showed great potentiality on defense and offense. He proved very quick on defense and Coach Ewing hopes to use Ron a great deal next year. SCOTT LEHMEN—Scott, our 6’1 junior forward, didn't see much action this year. He will be back next year, and we hope to see more of him then. MIKE WERTZ—Mike, a 6’ junior forward, did very well at the beginning of the season, but an operation kept him on the bench the latter part of the season. We are looking forward to having him back with the Red Devils next year. 83 FROSH-SOPH BASKETBALL The Hall High Frosh-Soph basketball squad, coached by Jack Samlin, had a successful year. The team put on many good performances during the 1957-58 season. They won eight of the twenty games they played and scored a total of 961 points. Many of the players will turn out to be good varsity members. KNEELING: Manager Joe Querciagrossa, Frank Baracani, Roger Weissenburger, Larry Kolupke, Jim Grotti, Warren Bence, manager Larry Orisek.
