Not all the credit be- longs to me-others have helped me out through the years as new courses were added and curricu- lums changed. This past year, things have happened almost too fast for me.

Our Superintendent 'a The staff of thc 1955 Echoes salutes Mr. Schumacher who. with thc cooperation ofthe School Board, has spent ' a considerable portion of the past year helping to make a e long awaited dream come true in the form of an enlarged i territory with protected boundaries. The ultimate aim is to simplify the administration and to provide further educational facilities for those stu- dents who are not planning to attend college. These facilities would furnish experiences that have, perhaps, more immediate Nutilitarianli values. 7 1 11111 11111 1 1 N1 11111 11111x11 I11x Ill-.Yltlll R.

Many homes had flooded basements and in many cases water crept into the kitchens. It was a sight not seen in this area for about seventy years. The water alsc n dam- aged the furnace in our High School which gave the e H - students a one-day holiday.

Roy Allen was one of a group of five students who entered the first grade in the fall of 1942 and who completed the sophomore year. During his ten years as a student he was active in band, mixed chorus, and athletics. He will long be remembered by the class of 1955, of which he was a member, and by all others who knew him because of his friendliness and pleasant disposition. 12 Our coursvs nu-vt tht- nevds ol tht- stutlvnts.

Graduation was only a few months away. But on the day they donned these robes their smiles vanished as they recalled many happy school days, the friends they were leaving behind and many outstanding activ- ities which in a short time would bc only a memory. lnwardly, however. they were filled with excitement as they antici- pated the future that lay ahead of them. They realized that it would prob- ably be just about what they themselves chose to make it. 15 :, ...X Shirley Hill Laura Matter Ronald Reingardt Bette Richards Pat Thomas Dallas Waldschniidt D. A.

The mem- bers of the 1955 Junior Class were no exception and they believed they had a good reason as they had no trouble earning their credits for the third year. ln October they performed the most important activity of the year-or so they thought- in choosing the class rings they wished to have. They received them the day before Thanksgiving. Of the seventeen members in the class, eleven of them were in the band and vocal contests. Four of the Juniors entered the Speech District contest at Wood- stock. Judy Weihcrman and Jeryl lVlorsch placed in the contest which made them eligible to compete at De- Kalb in the sectional.

The following subjects studied by the juniors go beyond the three Ras, though they do not displace them. Here three juniors work diligently at their translation in Latin Il.

Emphasis is placed on the association the individual citizen has with the whole economy. Here we have three Juniors explaining the usefulness ol' articles to the consum- er. as related to time, place and posses- sion. As, for instance, ice cubes arc more valuable in summer than in winter, bananas increase in value when shipped here, and the value of a wrist- watch to its owner always be measured in dollars and cents. A knowledge of bookkeeping is necessary for every person today wheth- er he operates a farm or a business all types of businesses are required to prepare government reports. Jerry Lar- sen, Carl Wassman, and James Easta- brooks are working on a practice set which requires that they use and inter- pret business papers in the same way that their papers would be used in bus- iness.

Does this sound familiar? . . . HI'm-gonna-sing-soprano- if-it-kills-mein Familiar? Certainly! What ehorus doesn't have some members with just sueh an atti- tude. Nevertheless. the Mixed Chorus got underway early in the sehool year and after much praetiee made their first publie appearanee at the Christmas Coneert. The Chorus also took part in the Spring Coneert on April 24. They entered the musie Contest at St. Charles. where they won a Superior rating. This entitled them to enter the State Contest at Charleston. illinois. where they acquitted themselves with credit. 27 Pfxeuse us if this sounds like hragging. hut wc must not overlook the group of soloists who sang their hearts out at the distriet eontest.

It was filled with a series of exciting events, for instance when Angie first met ,lack and when she breaks off with him. Angie's little sister, Kitty, was the kind who was always getting into trouble. She had boy trouble toog a red-headed boy, who was never seen in the play but who was always mentioned by Kitty whenever the topic of boys came up. A heart warming ending, full of happiness and understanding, found Jack and Angie, realizing their mistakes and deciding in their hearts that they were really meant for each other.

EXTRA-CURRTCULAR ACTIVITIES ENRICH ONES LIFE y Extra-curricular activities-that part of high school that 'lisnlt in the booksl'-are important because they provide some interesting experiences for a student. l Do you believe in magic? Old Aladdin never had anything on HCHS. Sure, he had a magic lamp, but we have some magic, too. It all started with the 1954 yearbook, Echoes, winning a Second Class Honor Rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. l Then came thc speech contest under the direction of Mrs. Nelson, in which one student placed first.lThere were two students who placed second, and five who placed third. Music for everybody, more for the talented, is one of the extra-curricular activities at HCHS. In the dis- trict soloists and ensemble contests, three ensembles received first, and ten soloists received first which result- ed in the school winning the sweepstakes. Through the careful leadership of Mrs. Stevens and Mr. Wight the band and choruses copped top hon- orsl' when they entered the district contest. The band also received top honorsl' in the state contest. Dale McKirgan won a Superior rating at the sectional Latin Contest and went on to win an Excellent rating at state.
