HAVANUAL 1953 N U A L HAVANA COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Hawina. Illinois Dedication Service DEDICATION We, the Senior Class, wish to dedicate this Havanual in the whole and entire to—first, the school-board of District .'107 for proposing and planning our excellent institution of sec- ondary learning, and secondly, to the voters and tax-pavers of District 507, that body of people whom our school-board represents. Had either party been reluctant or merely disinter- ested. our school system would still be strug- gling with sadly deficient equipment and in an inadequate building. However, with the whole hearted co-operation of both, the tireless and numerous efforts of the school board and the encouraging vote of the people, a task which in previous times has seemed insurmountable has been met and accomplished. ‘The laborer is worth his hire,’ and we offer our sincere thunks and gratitude to these people equally generous in time ami money.

FACULTY 11 History of the Senior Class Our class began their higher education in tin old high school build- ing. situated at Market and I earl streets, in September of 1949. Our class, many of whom had graduated from Central in the spring, lost Melvin Hailey. Donald Kilinan, Louis Kllehreeht, Charles Pedigo, Lulu- belle Combs, Bessie Duckwilcr, Wilma Gilmore, Kva Petty, Barbara Shores, Bevcrlee Shores, and Patrieia Williams. Under the leadership of Miss Linrhaugh, we chose as our officers: Byron Karhart. president; Corabel Gilmore, vice-president; and Kenny Bell, secretary-treasurer. Next year we became acquainted with the School and began to gain the respect of the other classes. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Sullivan and our class officers were: Byron Karhart, president; Barbara Itourke, vice-president; and Corabel Gilmore, secretary-treasurer. At this period we gained Joanne Pctefish and Charles Pittman and lost Herbert Buck- ley, Delbert Painter, Kdith Miller, and Kenneth Williamson. Our Junior year we were again under the guidance of Miss Linc- baugh along with Mr. Johnson. We chose for our officers: Byron Karhart, president; Charles Pittman, vice-president; Corabel Gilmore, secretary; and Joe Hall, treasurer. We purchased our class rings in the fall of our Junior year from the 1osten Company. We also sold concessions in the gym for basketball games. Our class, under the direction of Mrs. I.cidn Gibson, gave the play We Shook the Family Tree , which was a comedy and a big success. We, In order to raise money, decided to sell holly for Christmas, which we did at the operetta. Another of our business ventures was picking up corn, which a number of our class did. All of the returns of these methods of earning money went for the Junior-Senior prom. We used as our theme In a Southern Garden. This year Barbara Harriss .Bill Vaughn, and Mrs. Hose Oswald were the only students coming into our class while we lost Patsy Kordc, Helen Heffcrn, Warren Brown. Steve Klliott. and Karl Un- ruh. This was our Inst year at the old school building. Our senior year we moved to our new school, and were destined to be the first class to complete a year’s work and graduate from the new auditorium. This year our class officers were: Corabel Gilmore, president; Charles Pittman, vice- president: Marianne Bastien. secretary; and Carla McClenning, treasurer. This year we added Roberta France. Dean Gregory, Bob Bchrends and Charles Clccr. We were the first class to stage a play in tlu? new audi- torium. It was a great success. Incidentl.v, the cast, consisting of twenty-five, was the largest in the history of the school. In the spring was the Senior trip which everyone enjoyed. A few «lays afterward wc were guests of the Juniors at the Junior and Senior prom. Our last activity in our school was our graduation. This was the moment we were all waiting for and when it was over, it marked the end of an era which wc shall never forget. ■lingers and financers for our to right: Carla McClenning— Charles Pittman—vice-president; ilmore—president; Marianne Bas- tien—secretary. ■B Corabel Gilmore DA.It.

The Havana Ducks had a much Improved football season winning four games, one by forfeit and losing five. The Ducks defeated the Lewistown Indians In the annual football game for the stone hatchet in a nerve tingling four quarters. The magnificent running by Mick Painter and Kenny Bell were the deciding factors in this close game. The highlight of the homecoming game against Notre Dame of Quincy was when Bill Ray Intercepted a pass and ran it fifty-four yards for a touchdown, his first of his football career. At the half-time kick-off Kenny Bell ran the ball back eighty yards for a touchdown, one of the longest runs in the 1952 football season. Coach Boh Tunnicllff did much towards the improving of our football team this season, we hope it will continue. The scores for the '52 season were: We They Cuba 13 Mt.

Charles Pittman was awarded a trophy for being the most outstanding player in this tournament. Havana drew a “bye” in the Mason County Tournament and winning two consecutive games over Bath and Forman received the first championship trophy since 194 .

Illinois. I arrived early at the park and the first school friends I met were Bob ( w ts and ins wife, the former I’hyllis Yaeek. Bid told me lie was a pharmacist and spent his spare time cxj erimenting; one of his best successes was Coots Coot)- Remedy.” He also informed me that after graduating Dean Gregory returned to the navy hut he was unable to attend the reunion as he was ship) cd out on a dangerous mission on the Illinois River. Boh said that Ixmis Koke owned a large photography simp and Richard Kessen was the local dentist. In collecting this information, I wandered over to another small group and l cgun conversing with Barbara Harriss, who by the way had married Kornte, and had come all the way from California to the reunion. I talked with Marianne Bastien who said she was a primary teacher at Havana's new and exclusive grade school, and that Mrs. Rose Oswald tenches United States History at the high school and is loved by her students. I was very pleased to learn that Irwin Coats is the principal, too. Our homecoming queen, Corabel Gilmore, and Betty Walker had l oth gone to nurses training together. Betty later married Allan McNeil who lu� s his own television show along with those other famous comedians—Joe Hall and Ken Bell. Walking on I happened to notice big Bill Ray teaching some little hoys the techniques of football and stopp'd to watch. Bill said he was the head conch for the Uni- versity of Illinois and that Mick Painter was still play- ing baskethnll, only professional now. At this moment I spied Boh Kimtrman and was happy to learn that In- is the bobby-soxers new hero Krooner Knot .maun he's called. Boh then told me that Joanne Petefish the star of We Shook the Family Tree” fame Is a great actress and has won recognition in tlie United States and abroad. I decided it was time to eat lunch and sat down at the picnic tables by a few classmates. Jackie Alexander, looking as pretty as ever, says that she is a model in New York and wears many of the styles from the famous Parisian designer Roberta France. Our majorette, Beverly Kdwards, after marrying Gary, started up a huge cosmetic concern Bevlon”. Carla McCIcnning and Carol Sicbenborn both married their Jims and were engaged in homemaking. I am also informed by Nelson Ksselman and Rudolph Schilling that they are Senior Jacqueline Alexander 13, 19, 50, 51. 53, 60. Mixed Chorus I. 2: Booster Club l. 2. 3. i: F.II.A. � : F.D.A.

After eating a huge and delirious meal, I decided to walk over to the water fountain and there met Helen Hatton who was with her young son Chris Cross. Helen had married her doctor Boh Cross and told me more about what my classmates were doing. Betty Neiderer has become a famous Metropolitan oj ora star and Jim F.aton had also become well-known in the singing world. Charles Pittman, a talented senior, as we knew be would he, is a success. He is the president of Bradley Univer- sity. Our friendliest senior girl. Donna Woodard, owns a l eauty shop and tins two red-haired beauties of her own plus a handsome huslmiui—Gene. Helen then told me about handsome Jack Hurt who was the idol of thousands of movie go’ers and had more funs than Valentino! I .«is Hull was an air-line hostess and had married a nice looking pilot, Donald Trent. Noticing that little Chris was becoming rather impatient at all the talk, 1 said good-bye and saw Alice Wheeler coming toward me. She flashed a cheery smile and said that she had a very itii| ortnnt role in one of tlie leading soap operas. “Our Gal Alice” ami enjoyed acting immensely. Byron F.arhart, after many years of studying, became a minister and married Virginia. David Cunningham was a very famous surgeon and Bill Watts had followed in his fathers footsteps; being in the fishing business. Charles Clecr owned a large farm of rich land near Havana and had chosen Bertha Avery to he his wife. Eddie Durdy had organized his own little, jazz bond and had played successfully all over the country. There were still a few school friends I hadn't heard about so leaving Alice, I wandered on till I came to Bill Vaughn who looked roost dashing in his marine officers uniform. He had joined tlie marines again after graduating. He said he and Marjorie Bohm Imd Ix-cn married for a few years and had two little Vaughns. Bill also told me that Boh Bchrcnds, who couldn't bear the thought of leaving high school, was George's happy assistant. The reunion was over, the sun was setting, and a warm feeling of friendship and iN-ionging was in my heart, as 1 trudged toward my ear. I was very pleased to see my dear friends once more and to learn that they all were doing so well. Index Kenneth Bell 13. 29. 80, 31, 36,37, M . U, 19,50.52,51,55. Basketball 2. n. Football 2. 3.
