The hrst school of 1840 in the Township ot Squaw Grove was a subscription school held in the home of jacob Lee on the present Fred Wiebke farm. Two years later a log school was erected on the Stewart farm. A frame school was afterwards built near this site and another on the present Albert Dolder farm. In 1867 the former was moved to the north side of the old town and the other to the Von Ohlen District. In 1873 a two-room building was erected on the site of the present grade school. The first class graduated from this school on june 27, 1879, with the late Mr. C. C. Kennedy of Hinckley among its four graduates. The other members of this class were: Hattie Hitchcock, Cara Porta, and Della Maltbie. During this time Frank Hanchett was super- intendent of the school, Phillo Slater was president of the school board, and J. C. Coster was secretary of the board. In due time, in order to accommodate students desiring to take a high school course, two rooms were added to the building. A two-year course was then offered with Mr. Frank Hanchett continuing as superintendent. Little is known about the school for a period of years, except the names of the super- intendents who succeeded Mr. Hanchett. They were: john A. Reddon, 18845 Fred Lat- tern, 1884-18865 Henry S. Earley, 1886-18885 E. P. Hussey, 1888-1889. In 1890 the school building was completely destroyed by lite and a new building was immediately started. The present grade school is an enlargement of that building. During the next few years the following men were superintendents of the school: Adam Clitfe, 1890-1891, J. F. Magee, 1891-18945 john H. Clark, 1894-1900, A. I.. Thorpe, 1900-1903. L. V. Cavins was the superintendent from 1903 to 1905, followed by W. E. Poore, 1905 to 1912. While these men were in charge, the course was changed in 1904 to a three-year course and again in 1907 to a four-year course. Mr. Caswell took charge of the school in 1912 and remained there until 1921. During this time the enrollment of the school grew to hfty students and extracurricular activities became of more interest. A girls' glee club was organized and basketball competition became a popular sport. In 1921 the Hinckley Community High School was organized. The enrollment in- creased from fifty to eighty students and a one-room building from the district north of town was moved in to be used as a laboratory and class room. These improvements were gradually outgrown, and in 1925 the high school moved into the new building with its finer accommodations. To this present building was added a farm shop in 1930. The superintendents of the later years of the school have been: H. E. Mann, 1921- 19313 H. W. Loy, 1931-19333 G. Price jones, 1933-1937g and Roy Schumacher, 1937 to the present time. It is interesting to note the increase in the number of graduates over a period of years. From 1890-1900 there was a total Senior class enrollment of 34. from 1901-1910, 4-lg 1911-1920, 493 1921-1930, 1453 1931-1940, 218, 1941-1951, 208. The smallest classes to graduate from Hinckley were the classes of 1892, 1900, and 1907, when the enrollment of the Senior Class was only one. The largest graduation class was the Senior Class of 1942 with an enrollment of 32 students. -- ll. C.

Betty Leifheit Vice-President,.. . . ,nMarlene Rissman Secretary .. . -Beverly Thomas Treasurer . .. . ,. Bernard Skartveit Twelve years ago, the Senior Class of '51, or most of it, walked through the doors of various school buildings for the first time, and optimistically demanded an education. Of the twenty or more first graders who started here in 1959, only three, Norma Rans, Betty Leifheit, and Robert Phillips, have completed their twelve years in the Hinckley public schools. The rest of the present Senior Class have joined this trio, either in the grades, or in high school. In the fall of 1947, we started our high school career with an enrollment of sixteen eager freshmen. Four years of hgh school life lay before us, four years that either could be filled with accomplishments or left blank. However, we were brimming with that self-assurance that only freshmen possess. We had a lot less of it after initiation. We recovered, however, in time to enjoy the first year of high school assisted by our adviser, Miss Wright. Our class ofiicers were as follows: President, Kenneth Klotzg Vice-President, George White, Secretary, Norma Rans, Treasurer, Betty Leifheit. We entered our sophomore year with an enrollment of fourteen students. Our adviser this year was Mr. Hillman. The biggest event of the year was a party given for the freshmen. George White was a member of the basketball team, as well as a contestant in the district and state music contests. Under the leadership of Alouise Bromeland, President, Betty Ann Leifheit, Vice-President, Norma Jean Rans, Secretaryg and Kenneth Klotz, Treasurerg the class partici- pated in the fields of sports, music, and other school activities. When we came back to school as juniors, with an enrollment of fifteen, we were joined by Marjorie Cochran who had transferred from Petris, California. After weathering the first two years, the Class of '51 really began to blossom forth and to make the rest of the school aware that they existed. That was the vear that the juniors put on as their Class plav Stranger ln The Night with the Class president. George White, nlaving one of the leads. Other officers that ear were Rov Hill. Vice-President: Dorothy Bastian, Secretary, Kenneth Klotz, Treasurer. Mr. Saddoris was the Class Adviser. George Ackerman, Raleigh Products - Grimm's Hatchery..

The theme, La Jardin en Claamtre, was carried out in every detail. Dancing to the music of Herbie Palmer's orchestra followed. Our banquet and prom were conceded by all to have been successful. Four of us were out for basketball. About that time George White and Roy Hill were flashing across basketball courts. And now the last, and most important, year is drawing to a close. Our senior year, with an enrollment of twelve, has been a busy one. Four senior boys, George White, Robert Phillips, Roy Hill, and Kenneth Bushnell, lettered in basketball this year. To get funds for the senior trip we sold newspaper sub- scriptions, in keeping with the tradition started by last year's Senior Class. We greatly enjoyed the banquet and prom which the Junior Class out-did themselves preparing for us. All of our activities were pursued with the help of our spon' sor, Miss Barrett. One of the major projects of the year was the completion of The Echoes. Norma jean Rans was selected by her classmates and faculty as nominee for the D. A. R. Good Citizen Award. On April 12 and 13 we presented It's a Great Life, a farce-comedy by Robert Finch. Mrs. LaVonne Nelson directed the play and Mr. Charles Hill- man, a member of the faculty, was in charge of staging, assisted by Bernard Skartveit, the student representative. On May 20, 1951 baccalaureate services were held at the St. Paul's Evan- gelical Church. Commencement exercises were held the following Friday, May 25, at the High School Gymnasium. Mr. E. Cedric Pope gave a positive and inspiring address entitled 'Hands That Hold Atomic Power Dare Not Be Shackledf' We shall always be grateful to our parents and the community for providing us with the opportunity to receive a high school education, and to our teachers for the patience and consideration they have shown throughout the years we were with them. Our faith in our homes and our school is the basis of the con- fidence with which we face the future. We are graduating with the hope and desire to find our niche in an atomic age and to do that which is expected of us toward achieving world peace. With four years of training behind us, we close the chapter of our life headlined, High School. Years hence we shall chuckle at our misdemeanors, and recall the parties, the games, the field trips, the coke dates, the thousand-and-one experiences that enriched our personalities. --- Hinckley Implement House, Hinckley, Illinois - Mixed Chorus 2,5 THE 1951 ECHOES Senior Class I C rmtimzed 2 ROY HILL GEORGE WHITE Mixed Chorus 2,3 Chorus l,2,3,4 Basketball l,2,3,4 Baseball 1,2,3,4 Letter award in basketball 25,4 Letter award in baseball 2,3,4 judging team 2 Octette 3,4 Class vice-president 3 Class play 3,4 F.F.A.

Realizing the pres- tige of our title, upperclassmen, we entered our Junior year self-confident and exuberant. Our self-assurance gained by our two years of high school gave us a carefree attitude. As the year nears its end, however, we are jolted into the realization that high school days are fleeting, and that very soon we must assume the role of seniors. But before we rush too far ahead let us give you a glimpse of the Junior Class of 1950-1951. We began our busy year with the following officers: President, Wallace Wilson, Vice President, Rebecca Greenacreg Secretary, Jeanne Munson, Treasurer, Marlene Strever. Unlike the seniors who regret each passing affair as their last, we heartily enjoyed ev- erything. The big events of the year were putting on the class play, Love Your Neighbor, selecting the class rings, and entertaining the Seniors at a dinner and a dance. We were well rewarded for our two years of toiling by becoming established as leaders in various activities. Nine junior boys were members of the basketball team. There were three junior girls in the girls' octette, three boys in the boys' octette and four boys in the boys' chorus. The following names were frequently seen on the honor roll: Rebecca Greenacre, Patricia Larabee, Jeanne Munson, Dorothy White, jean Armstrong, Wallace Wilson, Robert Woodrick, and Kenneth Myers. Because today's juniors are tomorrow's seniors, ours is a hopeful future of flowing gowns and square caps, after which it will be our turn to take our place with the alumni of Hinckley Community High School, Sophomore Class History The goal of the Senior is not reached by a single bound. He builds the ladder by which he rises step by step. The Sophomore class of today has reached the second step. During the year we have maintained freshman enthusiasm while making progress on a sophomore level. Under the leadership of jerry Morsch, Presidentg Nancy Bowker, Vice President, Douglas Engel, Secretary, and jim Dellenback, Treasurerg it has taken its share of glory in the fields of sports, music, and other school activities. Our first project this year was the party given to initiate the Freshmen. We had them dress as Mother Goose characters and at the party they each performed a stunt. The Sophomore homemaking class, made up of only three girls, Sally Bastian, Marlene Severance, and Lois Burmester, with the assistance of Mrs. Westlake, served hot lunches during the month of january. Members of the class in band are: Roy Abell, Nancy Bowker, Lois Burmester, Roger Bushnell, Nancy Clark, and Marlene Severance. Some of these also play a solo or are in an ensemble. Only one member of our class, Roy Abell, is in the boys' octette. The boys who participated in basketball were Harold Skinner, jim Dellenback, and Roy Abell. l-- Duane and Tetl's Tavern.

William Spoor, of Morris, Illinois, joined our class a few weeks later, and in March, Nancy Houtz, of Kaneville, Illinois, entered. It took us some time to adjust ourselves to the responsibilities of our new environment. Eventually, though, through the trial and error method we learned that group co-operation is the keynote of success in any endeavor. Dear Reader, can you remember when that first year was yours to live? With what enthusiasm and eagerness you looked forward to the initiation of the freshmen? Our group was no different. What fun it was to see the girls wearing those gunny sacks cut off at the knees! How ridiculous they looked wearing a bathing cap with pigtails flying and high heeled shoes with cotton stockings. The Seniors made the most of the oppor- tunity to have their books carried on a tray as well as to have their shoes polished from time to time during the day. The Sophomore class entertained the Freshmen at the shelter house in Pioneer Park on September 29. The entire high school was invited. After refreshments and the initiation stunts, dancing was the final event of the evening. The officers, able leaders every one, are: president, Deborah Voss, vice-president, Pa- tricia Herrmanng secretary, Nancy Mullisg and treasurer, Donald Rimsnider. We were represented in the following extra-curricular activities: Basketball, band, cheerleading, Girls' and Boys' choruses, Girls' and Boys, octettes, as well as various other organizations. Eighth Grade Class History On August 28, sixteen class members started a new year in which classes, teachers, and everything in general were different. In September, Mr. Hillman conducted our first class meeting. We elected Irene Barr president, and Arlene Abell, Bette Richards, and Dallas Waldschmidt as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Mrs. Poffenbarger, our class teacher, became ill and was replaced by Miss Anna Haug, of Lee, until Thanksgiving. For the rest of the year, Mr. Shane, of DeKalb, taught the class. On December 7, Rosie Yoakum, of North Haverhill, New Hampshire, entered our class, and on March 5, Gary Fox, of Sandwich, Illinois, joined our ranks. Highlights of the year were our Halloween party at the Sandwich Skating Rink, the Christmas party, and our class play, Custer's Last Sit and Life of the Party. The class went to Chicago and visited the Museum of Science and lndustry and jackson Park for their educational trip. Arlene Abell, Irene Barr, Larry Olson, Roy Schumacher, and Dallas Waldschmidt participated in the band contest in ensembles. -Q Phillips, Garage and Restaurant, Hinckley, Illinois Tl -------- THE, 1951 ECHOES Freshmen Class Pint Row, Left to Right: ' , Margaret Ziegler, Hilda Wassman, Patricia Herrman, Donald Rimsnider, Deborah P Voss, Nancy Mullis, Diane McKirgan, Carol Davis Second Row, Left to Right: jacquelyn Chamberlain, Lourene Bastian, Marlene Haagenserx, Barbara Jacobson, Nancy Foose, Mary Meyer, Lois Miller, Betty jandt Third Row, Left to Right: Clare Wilson, LeRoy Powell, Ronald Williams, William Spoor, Stanley Michaelson, Lloyd Lockenour, Paul Bastian, Roger Petschke, William I-Iutter Ahreut: Milan Shilflette, Nancy Houtz Eighth Grade Class Pint Row, Left to Right: N V ' , 'Bette Richards, Dallas Waldschmidt, Irene Barr, Arlene Abell, Janice Schumacher Vecbitrl Row, Left to Right: - Marsha Patterson, Rosie Yoakum, Patsy Thomas, Sandra Palmatier, Twylah Olson.

There are thirty students taking the course with Mrs. Lavonne Nelson serving as instructor. The text used was EASE IN SPEECH by Margaret Painter. Some of the speeches we have studied are welcome, farewell, presentation, acceptance, pep, and after dinner speeches. The five types of speeches we have studied are speeches to inform, to impress, to entertain, to convince, and speeches to gain action. We took part in symposiums, panel discussions, and open forums. We also studied debate. A very interesting program concerned the antiques we brought to school. Each student brought something of value to his family and told its history. Some of the things were plates, silverware, arrow heads, books, watches, and a necklace from Ireland. We learned that we create the world in which we live. We have a club that meets on Fridays with Nancy Clark as president, Don Rimsnider as vice-president, and Betty Jandt as secretary. Special programs were planned and given for the assembly. On November 10 we gave a program for Armistice Day. Ladies of the Mop, a one-act play, was given by four girls of the class at another assembly program. The ability to speak well is an important asset, whatever the years have in store for one. Such ability increases one's chances of pleasure and success in school, in business, in politics, in the professions, and in social affairs. - Eighth Grade Homemaking Class To turn out accomplished homemakers is not the objective of the homemaking course which was included in the eighth grade curriculum for the first time this year, but rather, to stimulate interest in the life of the home of which the students are a part at the present time. At the beginning of the year the class was divided into four kitchen groups. We worked in these groups while in our foods unit. Our first unit was on foods work. First we learned measurements, abbreviations, how to read a recipe, and cooking terms. Then a menu was planned and the groups made the different things on the menus, as: quickbreads, salads, main dishes, simple desserts, and cakes and cookies. Before the Christmas holidays each student selected something he would like to make as a gift. Some of the selected gifts were aluminum trays, potholders, dishcloths, hand- kerchiefs, and doilies. The next unit was on etiquette and manners. It was decided that the first lesson in manners would be to learn how to meet people properly. The class gave introductions, and to do this the students did role playing. Menus and table settings were planned for different occasions and the group used a role-playing mechanism to learn table manners in the different situations. Party foods was the rext unit with also the writing of invitations and thank-you notes. A St. Patrick's Day party was planned for the seventh grade. Spring brought an interest in color, care and selection of clothing, and grooming. Thus, the class ended its homemaking career in trim for a happy summer vacation. ---- The Hinckley Review Printers, Hinckley, Illinois --- ----- THE 1951 ECHOES Speech Class Firtt Row.

ATHLETICS A i I nl i I THE 1951 ECHOES Baseball The Hinckley Hawks won their second consecutive Little Ten baseball championship in the fall of 1950. The team won an undefeated championship in 1949 and lost three regulars from that team in Bahl, Bish and Grimm. In a warm-up game, Hinckley was defeated by Newark by a 14-9 score. Coach Hillman was hit in the eye with a baseball in the warm-up practice session and was not able to stay for the game. In the other warm-up game Somonauk was defeated by a 9-2 score. In the Little Ten Conference play, the Hawks looked anything but championship calibre when they dropped their first game to Shabbona. In their second game they trailed Paw Paw at one time by eight runs but bounced back to win. It was just the spark they needed as they swept through the rest of their games. After the team de- feated Waterman, the northern half of the conference was in a three-way tie. Hinckley played Shabbona in the first play-off game and defeated them. Paw Paw was met in the second game and when they won 4-2 the Hawks had won the Northern half title. Serena was the Southern half champion and so Hinckley played Serena on the Shabbona diamond. The outcome was never in doubt as the Hawks sped 05 to a big lead and Won by an 11-1 margin. The usual line-up was as follows: Cln batting order? Name I Year Porifion Woodrick Junior CF Strever Junior LF Hill Senior P Wilson junior RF Barr junior 3B Dellenback Sophomore SS J. Morsch Sophomore 2B White Senior IB Skinner Sophomore C Rimsnider, Roger Skartveit, Jacobson, Bob Morsch, and Powell also saw considerable ZICIIOH. Roy Hill finished the season as the team's leading hitter and also did a very creditable iob on the pitching mound. Hill was used mainly as a relief pitcher his junior year, and his control and desire to win turned him into a fine regular hurler.

E. Saddoris. The team won 23 games and lost 7. Three regulars, Roger Bish, jerry Bahl, and Oliver Grirnm, were lost from last year's varsity team due to graduation, but their places were filled with boys who had seen considerable experience as substitutes. The Hawks depended in the main on eight players. There were 4 Seniors, 2 juniors, and 2 Sophomores. The Seniors were George White, Roy Hill, Rob- ert Phillips, and Kenneth Bushnell. Richard Strever and james Barr were the juniors, and James Dellenback and Harold Skinner were the Sophomores. The usual starting line-up found Strever and Skinner at the forward spots with White at center and Hill and Dellenback at guard. Barr, who made a fine improvement this year was able to fill in at any position, and Bushnell filled in nicely at for- ward while Phillips usually helped out at guard. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this year's team was the fact that all of the boys could score well. White, Skinner, and Hill all had evenings in which they scored more than 20 points, while Strever and Dellenback both had as high as 17 points in a game. Barr and Phillips both had nights of 12 points while Bushnell once had 10. When a team has five good scorers and has three substitutes who can come in and score, they have a balanced attack that is hard to stop. g ' In the Little Ten Conference schedule the Hawks were undefeated and fin- ished with l0 wins and no losses. It was a mighty fine record because there were a number of strong teams in the conference. lt was the first time in over 20 years that Hinckley had won the Little Ten title. In the Mooseheart Holiday tourney, the Hawks started with an overtime win over St. Charles of the Little Seven and then beat St. Thomas of Rockford and Mooseheart before losing to Geneva in the finals. During this tourney the Hawks were without the services of Barr and Dellenback who missed the meet because of illness. In the Little Ten Conference tourney the Hawks breathed through the first rounds with victories over Shabbona and Rollo, beat Somonauk in the semi- finals and then bowed to Serena 58-57 in overtime in the championship game. In the District tourney Hinckley was seeded number 1 and drew a first round bye. In the second round they met and defeated Burlington and then beat Big Rock in the championship game in a very thrilling overtime game. It was the second district title in a row. ---- Dr. Paul M.

Lack of experience caused the boys to have off-and-on nights and this characterized their play. Against Big Rock and Somonauk, for instance, the boys turned in some very fine performances. Leading scorers for the team were: Furbush 106, Woodrick 95, Wilson 79, Michaelson 66, Rimsnider 58, Abell 57, and Jacobson 46.

H. A. This year thirty-three girls took part in the F. H. A. program. They chose Dorothy White as president, Jean Armstrong, vice president, Sally Bastian, sec- retary, Nancy Clark, treasurer, Marlene Rissman, historian, Marlene Severance, parliamentarian, Norma Rans, song leader, Dorothy Bastian, reporter, Marlene Rissman, publicity book chairman, and Mrs. DeMay Severance as Chapter Mother. Mrs. Helen Gum Westlake was our advisor. The House of Delegates Meeting at Paw Paw on November 4 was attended by Mrs. Westlake, Dorothy White, Sally Bastian and Lois Burmester. At the meeting, Mrs. Westlake was chosen as chairman of Section 21. On November ll we held a hobo day as a method of earning money. Every-day tasks such as raking leaves and cleaning became fun as the girls pitched in to make the day a success. The total receipts of the project were 51546.85 Big plans were made for a square dance that was to be held after a basketball game. When December 8, the big day, arrived, a heavy snow storm blocked the road so that the dance had to be cancelled. Worst of all was the fact that the F. H. A. girls were left with thirty pounds of roasted meat. A mother and daughter tea was held December 19. Tea, punch, and cookies were served from a table attractively decorated with pine, candy canes, and white candles. On january 8 we were entertained at a party at the home of Mrs. Westlake. This party was substituted for the annual Christmas party because we couldn't work it into the busy holiday schedule. An impressive formal initiation ceremony was held in the gymnasium on january l2. Thirteen of the freshman girls received the red rose, the F. H. A. flower, as a symbol of their new membership. The Spring Rally was held at Rollo on March 17. The Hinckley Chapter provided entertainment which consisted of a sextette and a reading. Mrs. West- lake, as section chairman, was in charge of the teachers' program. - The highlight of the year came on March 24 when we went on a trip. Dur- ing the day we visited the Stevens Hotel, and the Ice Capades in Chicago. On March 28 our chapter gave a program entitled H. A. Forges Ahead for the Home Economics Club of the Northern Illinois State Teachers' College. The activities of the F. H. A. have added many new experiences and happy memories to our school year. Lt-ifheiI's Grove-ry and Market - Hinckley Hardware. Hinckley ----- THE 1951 Ecuous G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association spent a busy and happy high school year. Early in September, the girls chose their new officers. The following people were elected: Presi- dent, Norma jean Ransg Vice-President, Marlene Rissmang Secretary, Beverly Thomasg and Treasurer, Patricia Herrmann. One of the hrst activities of the club was to sponsor the District Play Day on October 7. Seven schools: Genoa, Sandwich, Shabbona, XX'aterman, Sycamore, DeKalb, and Somonauk were invited to take part in the activities of the day. Sports such as basketball, volleyball, deck tennis and baseball were planned. The day, however. dawned cool and rainy, so party games and basketball were set up inside for the morning and a stunt show and group singing for the afternoon. In early October, the initiation for the fifteen new freshmen members was held in the high school gymnasium. The Senior girls conducted the initiation by holding a mock radio broadcast and having the new members take part in the stunts of the show. When the girls had been duly initiated, everyone joined in the games of the evening. During the school day, the freshmen girls had to wear an amusing costume consisting of a burlap sack, bathing cap, large earrings, long black stockings, and one high and one low-heeled shoe. Each girl wore her hair in at least ten pigtails and carried a serving tray on which was placed a large tin can bouquet of flowers. These freshmen spent the day carrying the seniors' books and polishing their shoes. My, the seniors haven't shined so for a long time! During October and early November the club members enjoyed hiking after school to the homes of several of the girls who lived in the country. The purpose of these hikes was to earn activity points towards receiving various G. A. A. awards. ln all, the group walked thirty miles on their six hikes and each earned sixty points. The big event of the year was the Shamrock Shuffle, the St. Patrick's Day dance on March 16. The gymnasium was attractively decorated in green and white for the occasion. and everyone had a wonderful time dancing to the music of Charlie Goodman and his orchestra. The state basketball shooting contest for girls was held on March 21. Twenty of the G. A. A. group took part in the contest and the ten highest scores were submitted to the state. The girls found hat they should have practiced a little harder! The club will send two delegates to G. A. A. camp at Conference Point. Williams Bay, Wisconsin, this summer. The girls who were chosen to represent the Hinckley Chapter at this camp were Nancy Foose and Hilda Wlaisman, with Betty Alandt, Nancy Bowker. and Marlene Severance as their alternates. In the spring of the year, the Waterman high school girls challenged the Hinckley group to a basketball game. Several practices were scheduled, and on April 23 the big game was held at the Waterman school. Although the Hinckley girls did not have much time in preparing for this game they, nevertheless, enjoyed the competition of the sport. Now as our year draws to a close, we hate to see our fun and relationship with ore another come to an end. Even though the years may separate fast friendships and dim pleasant memories of school, we will always remember the good times that we have shared together in G. A. A., as well as all the other activities and events of our school life. - The J. A. Nash Company - Bastiatfs Store, Hint-klcv. Illinois - --ll THE 1951 ECHOES F. F. A.

George Peabody, realizing that his family has grown out of hand, devises the Pea- body Plan under which Jeannie, his lovely daughter, must choose a husband, Russell, his indifferent son, must decide on a career, and Grace, his pretty wife, is to balance the budget. The fights of Jeannie's admirers, Russell's difficulties with General Custer , the broken-down horse he is experimenting with in order to become a veterinary, and Grace's balancing the budget by selling the house cause the plan to back-flre in an unexpected way. Naturally everything turns out happily in the end although not as Mr. Peabody anticipated. Mrs. LaVonne Nelson directed the play. Mr. Charles Hillman, faculty member, was in charge of staging, with Bernard Skartveir as student representative. The cast was as follows: Jeannie Peabody, Norma Ransg Claude Fraley, Roy Hill, Russell Peabody, Ken- neth Klotz, Annabelle, Marlene Rissmang Eloise, Beverly Thomas, Grace Peabody, Dorothy Bastian, Aurelia Audrey Wunkle, Rebecca Greenacreg Sophia Jane Wunkle, Laura Thorsong Dr. Edward Appleby, Kenneth Bushnell, George Peabody, George White: Larry Jordan, Robert Phillips: Alice, Betty Leifheitg Miss Jacobs, Virginia Christenseng Mr. Pooley, Morris Williams The Junior Class Play The three-act play Love Your Neighbor, was presented by the junior class on November 2 and 3 under the direction of Mrs. Nelson. The setting was in the Vashki home in a small town in Iowa. Wally Wilson did credit to the part of Papa Vashki and Jeanne Munson, to the part of Mama Vashki. Patricia Larabee played the part of Tessy, the eldest daughter. The whole household was bustling with excitement, as Tessy was to be married the next day. Tessy's young man. Oswald Frederick, a wealthy Chicagoan, was played by Kenneth Myers, who displayed perfect character throughout the play. The parts of Oswald's mother and Aunt were well taken by Becky Greenacre and Virginia Christensen who contributed to the rollicking humor of the production. Marlene Strever was Dora, a haughty sort of creature, who had quick changes in mood. Johnny Jones, the neighbor boy depicted by James Barr, showed his personality in his remarks and actions. You can imagine the excitement when Tessy found herself in love with Johnny. , During the play, Papa Vashki received an inheritance, Tessy won a thousand dollars, Johnny's bees got loose just as the wedding started, all of which helped to complicate matters. -- Miles Eastahrook - Pure Milk Association, Hinckley, Illinois 1 l-ll THE 1951 ECHOES Senior Play Cust Standing, Left to Right: Roy Hill, Beverly Thomas, Morris Williams, 'Laura Thorson, Kenneth Bushnell Norma jean Rans, 'Virginia Christensen, Marlene Rissman, Kenneth Klotz, TBer- nard Skartveit' Seated, Left to Right: Robert Phillips, 'Rebecca Greenatre, George Wfhite, Dorothy Bastian, Betty Leifhc-is ' juniors T stage manager Junior Play Cast Ytnmiing, Left to Right: Wallace Wilson, jerry Furbush, Doro.hy White, Laura Thorson, Marlene Strever Patricia Larabee, Kenneth Myers, I.uVerne Jacobson.

The number for each chorus was finally decided as.follows: Eighteen members for the boys' chorus and twenty-nine for the girls' chorus. The Girls' Chorus was entered in the district contest at Bensenville on Saturday, April 7. The two octettes were organized at the beginning of the school year and are under the direction of Miss Young. At Christmas, the octettes presented a combined program for the students and the public,-featuring several sacred and secular numbers by each octette and solos by members of the octettes. February 28, the two groups, the trio and Miss Young traveled to LaSalle, Illinois, where they presented a thirty-minute radio broadcast over station WLPO. A recording was made of the program and was presented to the school. The octettes have also entertained at the Woman's Club and other social organizations in the community. They also furnished entertainment between acts for the junior and senior class plays, and were featured in the formal spring concert on April 22. The boys' and girls' octettes were entered in the district contest at Bensen- ville, Illinois, on Saturday, March 51, and each received a first division rating which entitled them to compete in the State Finals at Champaign on April 27 and 28. 1 The programs of fine music by these groups are eagerly awaited and en- joyed by the entire school and community. One of the most enjoyable duties which falls to the music department is the sponsoring of the Christmas Dance. 1- Stanley Mark. General Trucking, Hinckley.

It meets for practice on Tues- days from 2:50 to 3:50 and on Fridays from 5:50 to 4:30. Hinckley was fortunate in securing Mr. R. B. Wight as a director in the fall of 1946. A beginner s band was started and appeared in its first concert on March 16. The concert band played its first massed band concert with Big Rock and Plano at that time. In the fall of 1947 the Hinckley Band Parents' Association was formed and the first project was to uniform the band before the district contest in April. The band suits arrived and everyone was very pleased with the improvement that they made. Our coats are dark green with gold citation cords and black Sam Brown belts, beige trousers with a gold stripe, white shirts with black ties and green military caps with gold band and emblem. In April of 1949 the band went to Mooseheart for the District contest. We won a first division rating and were entitled to compete in the State Music Finals at Macomb, Illinois. The clarinet quartet and George White with a solo also represented Hinckley. The band received a second division rating at the State Contest. On March 25, 1950, nine soloists and six ensembles left for Thornton Township High School to compete in the District Solo and Ensemble Contest. Seven soloists re- ceived a first-class rating and two, a second-class rating. Three ensembles received a first-class rating and two, a second-class rating. Those receiving first represented the Hinckley Schools in the State Contest on April 28 at Macomb. At Macomb live of the entrants received first-division ratings, three second, and two third. The band competed in the District Band contest held at DeKalb on April 1. The Band played Hall of Fame , Crusaders Overture , and Aurora Overture. We won a first division rating entitling us to go to the State Band Contest on April 29 at Macomb. Hinckley band received an unanimous first-rating decision from the judges. The band. chorus, ensembles, and soloists accumulated a total of sixty-seven points to place second in the sweepstakes. Last summer the band had a very active schedule. They participated in the Memorial Day Parade in Hinckley. The news of the Hinckley Band has spread and we were asked to take part in the Harvard Milk Day Celebration. The biggest and best thing that the band was asked to do was participate in the Lions Club Parade in Chicago. The Hinckley Band members were guests of the Lakeview Lions Club and had a very enjoyable day. The band took part in the Hinckley Homecoming Parade after which a short concert was played. Our trip to Riverview was something that we all looked forward to and were very disappointed when we were rained out. We were very fortunate to be asked back on another date which p oved to be much better. The band played an afternoon and evening concert at the Sandwich Fair which ended our summer activities. Thirteen solos and six ensembles will represent the Hinckley band at the District Solo and Fnfemble Contest on March 31 at Bensenville. This year the Hinckley band is playing El Capitan, Overture Erociaf and Ponce de Leon in the District Contest vo be held at Bensenville also on April 7. A concert featuring our contest pieces will be given April 1. Our band has come a long way and we certainly hope that it will keep on its upward climb.
