If I remember right Mr. Hcrink, our band and chorus director, is looking for recruits in chorus. First Day Under The The first feature of the Big Top started on September 3, 1954 with everybody trying to get the subjects they wanted and seeing if they could change classes to be with one of their friends, providing that the course was a snap and the teacher gave good grades. Of course, there were some that wanted to work out their subjects so they could graduate from an academic, vocational, or commercial course. The first thing to do when the show starts is to get stowed away and comfortable before anything happens that you might miss out on. 4 Top Poor Freshman! It seems that always at first there is somebody who just doesn’t get the hang of where he should go. For a bad performance, there are always the punishments, which mean embarrassment for most and trying not to get caught the next time. A special advertisement for people who keep the behind-the- scenes actions going, and the ones who keep the performers going. Cooks: Bernice Hahn, Rovcna Ackridge, Sirs. Cora I.ee Shirley, Wilhelmina Hahn. Janitors: Melvin “Shorty Lyons, George Wheebck, and F.arl Rayburn. Royalty Rides High! Homecoming Snake Dance. The Homecoming Parade was held on Friday, October 22. All the various clubs and ebsses turned out with fine floats. The Junior creation won first prize. Although we lost the game to Cuba, it was a memorable occasion. Homecoming Clowns Parade in Havana Streets 6 Preshies first float. Industrial Arts Creation. Royal escorts and retiring Queen.

Homecoming Royalty King Gene I and Queen Joanne I lead the Royal Dance after their coronation. Following the football game, the Homecoming Dance was held in the gym which had been beautifully deco- rated by the Booster Club to the theme of “Dancing in the Dark.” The crowning glory of the big day came about 11 o'clock when Joann Sarff and Gene Morse were revealed as King and Queen. Junior Class Play STAG LINE Making up is an important event before the play. Here Chcrrill is having her nose powdered so the lights on the stage won’t make her face shine. “Stag Line” was a humorous play about a girl, Maudie, who was trying to run her sister’s wedding, and all her troubles with boy friends who were trying to win Maudie for themselves. PKRFORMKRS: Mother ... Chcrrill Vanlandingham Jim Morgan Sandra Sicbenborn Julie ... Mrs. Farrington Smith ... Lucinda Bovd Martha Griffin Chi Margaret Phvllis Malone I wonder if Don is really reading that b(x)k. Hmmm! The girls arc attacking! No, it’s just Vicky Crabtree and Kay Bohm trying to be the one that Don Paul Boggs escorts to the wedding. 8 The Circus Gets Under Way Isn't that clever? It was hard to get down to business studying at first, for the last three months had been spent mostly in leisure. Finally the urgent persuasions of our capable teach- ers got through to us, and then the work started, or perhaps we should say fun. This year Gene Morse won the new trophy that was awarded for the most valuable play- er. He also won the trophy last year and in so doing made the trophy a permanence in the Havana showcase. Besides winning the “Most Valuable Player Trophy” for the school this year. Gene broke the individual scoring record in the game against Astoria when he scored 37 points. He also tallied up more points than any other individual ever to participate in the Holiday Tournament. In three games, Gene received a total of 102 points. We get to keep it, Coach! Go Ducks! Beat Balvki! 15 Rahs! Go high, Gene Oh, the aRony of waiting. Cafeteria Is Worth Waiting For “What’s on the menu for today?” “Here you can get in front of me!” “No running in the halls.” “Slow down.” “Do you want your sandwiches?” “That’ll be fifty-five cents.” Expressions heard in the lunch line. 11 What that ? ? ? ?

Hi there, Shotpur! Senior Class Play Different was the word for the senior class play this year. There were ten girls in the light murder mystery play entitled “Nine Girls” which was presented on November 12 and di- rected by Mrs. Gibson. The play concerned nine sorority girls who suddenly discovered there was a murderer among them. In the cast were the following: Eye .Mardcllc Bruning Jane Cherrill Vanlandingham Frieda ....................................Vicky Crabtree Alice Kay Bohm Mary ......................................Lucinda Boyd Shotput ...................................Nancy Morgan Glamourpuss ................................Janet Kessen Tennessee Joann Sarff Shirley ..................................

Real Crazy! The music was soft and sweet, played by Mr. Habbcn on the organ and Mr. Herink on the drums, and the mood just fitted into being around February 14. For it was Valentine’s Day, the time for sweethearts, sweet sayings, and another main attraction to take away the thought of school and grades. The Sweetheart Royalty. Marie Budkc, and Bill Haynes. 14 Intermission! PLEASE BE CAREFUL! NEW DRIVER. Dreaming about the big dance, Tony? Which twin does and which one doesn’t? As the year goes on, we have more dances and other things to take the place of study- ing. Although the year was more than half over we couldn’t think of anything nicer than school being dismissed for the sum- mer vacation. 15 Time out to rest from nil that strenuous dancing! H - Club Prom Center Ring Attraction Starring in the center ring we have the H-Club Prom. Music is being played by the Bill Hill Trio. The backdrop is beautifully decorated and at intermission, there are punch and cookies being served. Before the main attraction, the boys put on a wonderful ban- quet. The Sweetheart, Doris Elmore, was crowned with a halo of red roses by the Presi- dent of the club, Jon Morgan. The Belle of the Ball. 16 Speech and Latin Contest Scott Gibson entered the Illinois State Speech Contest and received a second rat- ing in the District Contest which entitled him to go on to the Sectional Contest. Scott was entered in the Radio Speech Division. Due to illness Scott could not participate in the Sectional Contest. Judy Binder, Joyce Crater, and Judy Boyd entered the District Latin Contest in Havana and each received a superior rating. Judy Binder and Judy Boyd re- ceived superior ratings in Sectional and Joyce Crater received an excellent.

Outstanding Seniors These students on these pages have won a very reputable award of being the outstanding seniors during the year. They were elected by the whole class and the one with the highest votes naturally won. It is really wonderful that students in H. C. H. S. are qualified to win such an award. Sometimes they are born with that certain characteristic that makes them just a little better than the rest of us. Others work until they can improve such things as dancing, sports and various other things. Any way you look at it, we, the senior class, are very proud of our outstanding seniors of the year.

Gosh! Aren’t the decorations fabulous? The Junior-Senior Prom was a gala occasion. The theme was “Gai Paris,” and the music was provided by The Billy Williams Orchestra. The juniors had spent many long hours decorating the gym and when the big night finally arrived, all their efforts were well rewarded. All the girls were given tiny china shoes. These kids had better shape up or ship out! 22 Finale .... Exams .... Graduation . . . . Slave gallery! Gee, those were hard! As the close of the performance draws near, we arc looking forward to our announcements and the time when most of us will have the pleasure of watching the other pupils take their finals while we exempt ours. Some of us will go on to college while others will take jobs in town or out-of-town, but around September 3 we will probably remember when we all gathered around the tables in the study hall to work our schedules out and see old friends that we hadn’t seen since school was out.

Kings of The Jungle SENIOR MEMORIES It was fun starting our sophomore year and we liked the atmosphere of friendliness which surrounded us in our new school. There were only 66 of us. We lost fifteen of our original members and gained five new faces. Our days and nights were filled with activities. As the year rolled on something seemed to be going on all the time.

Our junior year started off with a bang, and it turned out to be a very busy year. By this time we had become very well acquainted with H. C. H. S. and we felt that we were really a part of the institution. Our officers were: President: Clark Himmel; Vice-president: Lucinda Boyd; Secretary: Pony Opp; Treasurer: Bill Haynes. In the fall we ordered our class rings from the Josten Company. We received them in December and all the juniors were really proud. Before long there was the usual exchange of rings between the “steady” couples around H. C. H. S. The high point of that year was the junior senior prom. Many long hours of hard work were spent in preparation for the big night, and when it came we felt that our efforts had been duly rewarded. Our memories of that night help cancel out the days and nights we spent studying in preparation for semester tests.

Most of us were overjoyed that our educational journey was almost over, but we realized that some of our happiest days were now in the past. The months went fast as all our spare time was devoted to extra activities of one kind or another. The Havanual staff worked diligently up to the time of the final publication. Before we realized it graduation day was upon us, and our class of 50 students received our reward for having worked 12 years. There was a mixed feeling of pride and sorrow, for we would be leaving many friends behind, but the future was calling—and we must go. Nancy Morgan A peppy Ifirl with no stc beau.

Havanual Staff HAVANUAL EDITORS Vicky Crabtree—Editor-in-chief Brenda Wolters—Junior Editor In the fall a junior is chosen as assistant to the chief editor, then in the following year she automatically becomes editor-in- chief. Also, at the beginning of the year, Mr. Pickett and the editor select a staff. All the write-ups about sports, band, etc. are done by the staff and turned in as soon as they are completed. I think a big credit should go to Mr. Sroncc, the engraver, who really put the book together. 44 H - Club The H-Club is a sort of boy’s booster club. If any club has been a success it is the H-Club. To be admitted to this organi- zation. the boy has to have earned an “H in any field of sports: football, basketball, track, or being a manager. Around the first of the year the H-Club has the most talked about initiation for its new members, and at the last of the year they always have a big banquet and prom which is just one of the marvelous events it produces.

Band Taking the annual hand tour has always been a high- light for the musically inclined in Havana High School and this year was no exception. Some ideas were dis- cussed in band and at the band parent’s meetings but, nothing definite was planned. The first idea was to go to the Wisconsin “Dells” but later was cancelled as it would be closed and too cold in the early spring. 52 First row left to right: Judy Boyd, Brenda Woltcrs, Li Whitten.

On The Way Up The Ducks' lighting football team looked forward to having a good season with the return of several lettermen from last year’s squad, but the Ducks chances were hurt by having four players injured in the early part of the the season. The boys who were injured were Figle, Swin- ford, Boggs, and Morse. The first game of the season was played September 17, at home against a very tough Bcardstown club. The Ducks had a lot of spirit in this game, but Bcardstown came out on top by a score of 20 to 6. For the first game of the season the Ducks showed possibilities for future victories. On the night of September 24, Petersburg was the vic- tim of the Ducks’ first victory. The score of the game was 32 to 7. Swinford, Raridan, and Braendle supported the scoring punch. Coots, Morgan, Gannon, Trent, Boggs, and Winkles were the outstanding defensive players. The next game was played against Bob Wixom’s Rush- vill squad on the night of October 1. The Ducks played them on even terms the first half, but they just couldn't get going the second half. The score of this game was 21 to 0. An aggressive Havana football team racked up its sec- ond victory of the year on the night of October 8. It was a decisive victory over Mt. Sterling, 14 to 6. Raridan, Bracndle, and Haynes supplied the offense, while Gannon did a fine defensive job. “Honey Esselman booted the extra points after the touchdowns had been made. The Ducks were without the service of Jim Swinford, quarter- back, due to a back injury. Traveling to Macomb, the Ducks absorbed one of their worst defeats, 39 to 0. The Ducks were against a very fine Macomb team which didn't lose a game all season. Lcathcrwood and Jackson, two Macomb halfbacks were almost unstoppable. Bill Haynes did a fine job for the Havana team by running through the line but the whole Havana team couldn’t get up enough steam. The Ducks' Homecoming game was against Cuba on the night of October 22. The Havana team lost the most heartbreaking contest of the year by the score of 19 to 14. The Ducks led all the way except the last two minutes when a Cuba player scored the winning touchdown. Rari- don and Bracndle played one of their best games. Gannon, Coots. Haage, Morgan, and Winkles did an outstanding job on defense. Haynes and Gannon scored the extra points for the Ducks. The Ducks, still feeling badly about their loss to Cuba, were handed their worst defeat at Carthage, October 29, with the score 40 to 0. This game put the Ducks' record at two wins and five losses. Things looked bright when Jack Bracndle returned the 90-yard kick-off for a touchdown in the game against Notre Dame of Quincy. November 5. Unfortunately they fell behind in the last three quarters and were beaten 34-14. Ferry Gannon scored the other Ducks’ touchdown on a line plunge. Haynes and Raridon scored the extra points. Determined to win the stone axe from Lewistown in the last game of the season, the Ducks practiced all week and on November II. Armistice Day, they won their biggest victory of the year. It was a 6-0 victory over their arch rivals. After Allen Post set up the touch- down in the third quarter by catching a long pass, Bill, Haynes, speedy left half, took the next play over for a touchdown and a well deserved victory. It was a team victory all the way. All of the players were outstanding on defense as well as offense. Despite a little hard luck with injuries the Ducks ended with a good season and a record of three wins and six losses. 56 DUCKS SCHEDULE Sept. 17 Beards town 20 ... ..Havana 6 Sept. 24 Oct. 1 Rushville 21 ...Havana 0 Oct. 8 Havana 14 Oct. 15 ...Havana 0 Oct. 22 Cuba 19 ...Havana 14 Oct. 29 Carthage 40 Nov. 5 Notre Dame 34 . ...Havana 14 Nov. 11 57 4 VARSITY TEAM: First rote left to right: Jo Harbison.
