O'er the sea of Memory U r ,W I'm saying H. T. H. S. Hi! Childhood days, Wildwood days F Among the birds and bees, I graduated to roam But still you're my own! In my beautiful Memories. ' Memories--whata could be dearer than A memories? High school days come and b pass, but they are never forgotten. The g' memories, the bygone days, have made the foundation upon which H. T. H. S. is Jbvssf 3 standing today. On both sides of the halls, pictures of former students are hanging, a symbol that many things have been accomplished in the past history of our dear high school. If a former student comes to walk again up the old stairway, many thoughts pass through that person's mind. Thoughts of happy days, old friends, the rustle of Q2 books, good times, and even sorrows, or a picture of cramming for an exam or yelling yourself into a frenzy at a ball game. These visions are memories, memories built by those who proudly received a diploma saying, has completed the necessary work at J H. T. H. S. And so, we the class of SZ dedi- cate this book to the alumni. We know that H. T. H. S. is what it is today, be- cause of them. We hope that this book, celebrating the 50th anniversary of our school, will bring back many pleasant memories to the alumni of Hittle High, the foundation of our school. ffl 1,1 .EMM .PIE J HJ JJWJEF sffWHJf3E3TjHlgJaE? fifiwfg is 9-C1-ls--D .L xl X fn fi eg 0Qi Z' ii Q!

Q ' if 'lf 1- .4 A .. ,. f WITNESS ' fl f f - ---'ML -'-M 1' 'WITNESS ' Senior Reflection On September I, 1948, seventeen very green Freshmen came through the threshold of old H. T. H. S. , and today, thirteen very seasoned, as far as high school goes, young ladies and gentlemen will receive their diplomas on the stage of the same gym where they have carried on many noteworthy activities. Now with little regret and much pride, I will attempt to tell you some activities carried on by our class and its mem- bers during the four years at Hittle High. On September I3 we elected our class officers. Gitana Nagel was elected President: Wanda Gresham, Vice-Presi- dent: Phyllis Stolz, Secretary-Treasurer: Jean Eikleberry, Reporter: and Wayne Dickson, Student Council Representa- tive: Miss Elliott was chosen our sponsor. We were initiated September 17 by the Big Bad Seniors , whom afterwards we found weren't so bad, as they treated us to a very fine party. This is one day we will always remember, for more reasons than one. We were very fortunate in having a large percentage of our enrollment in music and athletics. Before we knew it our first year had passed and we were silly Sophomores. We were now minus a few familiar faces as Steffie Kerchert, Zola Wines, Jean Eikleberry, and Clara Wines moved away. Kenneth Bannister was the new student we were glad to welcome into our class, although he moved away in the latter part of the year. Wayne Dickson was elect- ed President at our first class meeting: Bob Pratt, Vice-President: John Hickey, Secretary-Treasurer: Bob Eckhardt, Reporter: and Phyllis Stolz was Student Council Representative. Tom Brandt, Bob Pratt, Bob Eckhardt, and Wayne Dickson represented our class well in athletics by playing on the baseball team which was undefeated and won the Mackinaw Valley League title. Bob Pratt was also on the first five on the basketball team. Wanda Gresham completed her second year as cheerleader. We were represented exceedingly well at the music contest as we sent seven of our class with the band, chorus, and ensembles. Mrs. Murphy was our class sponsor. September l, 1950 found thirteen jolly Juniors ready to start a very busy year. At our first class meeting under the supervision of Miss Lux and Mr. Van Scyoc, Bob Pratt was elected President: Phyllis Stolz, Vice-President: Wayne Dickson, Secretary: Gitana Nagel, Treasurer: Wanda Gresham, Reporter: and Bob Eckhardt and Eleanor Brennemann, Student Council Representatives. We all were very proud when we received our class rings during the latter part of November. Some of our activities were: the concessions stand at baseball and basketball games, checking coats at the District Tournament, selling Christmas cards and Mustang eversharps, and producing our class play, What Ann Brought Home , which was a huge success bringing in the second largest house in several years. We were again admirably represented in sports as we placed three boys, Captain Bob Pratt, Wayne Dickson, and Bob Eckhardt on the starting five on the basketball team and by placing six on the baseball team. They were Bob Pratt, Tom Brandt, Bob Miller, Bill Atteberry, Wayne Dickson, and Bob Eckhardt. Wanda Gresham represented us serving her third year as cheerleader. We were exceedingly well represented in music as twelve out of the thirteen competed in the music contest. Gitana Nagel, Phyllis Stolz, and Bob Eckhardt won first ratings at the district contest and competed in the state contest at Champaign. Phyllis Stolz placed first in the sax solo division, Our Junior-Senior Prom, decorated to the theme ox' April Showers , was a huge success. We danced from 9 to IZ to the music of Myron Jsckson's orchestra. It was indeed a beautiful affair and there were many sad faces when the clock struck twelve. August 28, 1951 soon rolled around and I3 very proud Seniors bedecked the east side of the study hall. Our class is again well represented in outside activities as we have been during our four years. Four of the starting five on the basketball team were Seniors, Co-captains Bob Eckhardt and Wayne Dickson, Bob Pratt, and Bob Miller. The same six boys who played on the baseball team last year from our class again played this year. Wanda Gresham became the third girl in the school's history to serve as cheerleader all four years. We were again well represented at the District Music Contest. Gitana and Phyllis again received a first rating in sax solo, the girls' trio, Wanda, Gitana, and Eleanor re- ceived first, and the clarinet quartet received a first. Wayne Dickson and Wanda Gresham received a second in vocal: Wanda a second in clarinet solo: and Bob Pratt a third in trombone solo. We are very proud of our yearbook which we dedicated to the Alumni of H. T. H. S. in celebration of the 50th year of our school. We have attempted to pay tribute to the students of the past who have upheld the name of our beloved school so well. We are now looking forward with much anxiety to the night when we will receive our diplomas and end a humble career here at our congenial old school, Hittle Township High School.

Well, 1et's see, it's been almost 30 years since I've seen most of them. Here's a- sign, The Metropolis of Armington to your right. If the light is purple take the underground route: if gold the upper IZ lane speedway. My but there are a lot of changes with all this atomic power. I'll ask here where the reunion is to be held. Now let's see he said, On 321 Atomic Avenue at the high school. Here it is. Why-why the building covers a whole two blocks and the late st in style. Heated and lighted with atomic power. We're to meet in the study hall. It-it-it looks more like an auditorium. I' ' Now to see if there are any familiar faces in this crowd. There is a large crowd here and it's early yet. There is one of my dear old friends, John Hickey. He has now perfected the H-Bomb. You know the Y , scientist worked on this bomb for years and couldn't get it to work. John came along and now she works. 'J ' . He has renamed it the HICKEY Bomb. He has his own chemical plant known as the LAZY H. His second 4 I grade product is the atomic bomb. At the present time he is working on the latest invention a rocket ship I-le is planning to go to Mars meet a beautiful woman and get married. He says the women on earth can't compare with the ones on Mars. After all John is handsome, so handsome he has to have a beautiful wife. There 's a familiar sound I remember well. It's Gitana Nagel giggling over there by that table. Let's go talk to her. I see her name is on the program for this afternoon to speak. G She has gone on and become interested in foreign affairs. I can only think of one reason why, mx uw as I remember her in high school and that she was always talking. Ihear she is constantly ,QQ-,L . filabustering and seems to get what she wants passed. p QQ : She has also married a man that is tall, dark, and handsome. I mean plenty dark too!! l ' 4 -o' 0 She is still interested in music, especially her saxophone. She plays in a swing band every once in a while. It has become more or less her hobby. w I. , ll -1 We have just heard that the heroic skipper Tom Brandt has just come in- - JI! .1 to port and gotten a drop of atomic energy fuel to run his ship, THE LADY 'Q' .Q ' JEAN, for another six months. lf you recall Tom saved the lives of 10 robot men a few months ago. For this great deed he received the Green ' ! f f Liver from the President Lady Joan . Pix Y , X FLASH: Tom Brandt has just captured four men from the moon. The I 'ab four men were drifting about in the ocean in a rocket ship. Skipper Tom says 5 he can't understand the language they speak. He describes the men as being ' ' 3 lf4 feet tall, weight about ZOO pounds, and they have a bright pink com- 1 plexion. ' 1 S Q Sorry Tom couldn't be at the reunion but at least his wife is here to tell us all about him. Q N Robert Eugene Eckhardt has just arrived in a solid gold atomic powered 5.97 I' Buick. That robot woman with him is one he has made special to care for his ' eb 5 wife, Mrs. Eckhardt. I wonder who that could be? Eugene, of course, owns 6, 000 acres of land around Armington. He has several fine children, about nine I think. Eugene Jr. , Robert Jr. , and Bob Jr. , are the oldest three and are making quite a show of themselves playing tiddlewinks with the Brooklyn Dodgers. .S v Rfb!! Raymond Greathouse just drove up in what? You guessed it, a blue atomic powered .ff Inf Ford truck. Raymond has been making quite a name for himself on a dude ranch out in A 1 Oregon, which is about a two hour drive away. He has robots running the whole ranch A and he made several million dollars. His ranch by the way, covers the whole state of ' Q Oregon. Y I guess he found the right girl because he's now married to Phyllis. He used to go with veryone seems to be hurrying about and who is that walking so slow and so calm? Why it is Phyllis Stolz. I guess she hasn't changed much. Let's see what she's been A doing Oh music, of course. Got far in the field. She plays in a 3 large orchestra. She is playing a little more clarinet and digging more seriously in piano. p 0 . ,, slow efficient girl like Phyllis. It s something like checking sales I D 'Q-N' list The machine puts them in correct order and then she puts A'9: J . them in a box and they are picked up by a mechanical man and filed. Oh, you think she would be frightened of it. Well then wait till you hear this, she is in her spare , time of course, a LADY WRESTLER on TV!! Can you imagine? ? ? 'I ? ? 7 ? ? ? ? 'P K I The two baseball prospects, Bob Pratt and Bob Miller, turned out to be quite H some players. Yes, they are all stars all right. They are on the new program on TV en- ! C , titled, How to Play Baseball. This is how it works. They have a room about eight feet by ' xl twelve. Bob Miller takes a baseball and pitches it all the distance of two feet. Then Pratt shows you how to hit it. Sometimes he hits it so hard it hits the center field wall, which is about her in high school. A X, ' i U yb ! She likes the work she has with some magazine. It calls for a 3 ' P . ' . x '11 ' I ' V I l , 1 I 'QI Q eleven feet from home base. WOW, what a hit! Q Bob Miller finally learned how to pitch a curve. Yes sir, straight up and down. He also has learned to pitch a fast ball. He stands two feet from home plate. Pratt says he can't . A see them coming, he just holds out his glove and the ball whizzes right in. So if you K . I5 want to learn how to play baseball just tune in to WOC-TV Channel 5, at Z p. m. on 'W Saturdays. If you don't learn how to play baseball don't blame them. After all just look It I I at them and then think. fl There s Wanda Gresham, let's see what she's done for herself. She seems to k x . have quite a career in singing, TV and everyday occurrence, even appears regular- I ' ly at the Metropolitan Opera. But I hear she is getting quite an honor, it's not to ai f Q Al be published yet but I guess Ican tell you. She's going to Mars in several . A5 months for a special musical. I also hear she is still playing a little clarinet a- long with her singing. 5 , L Since she's quite wealthy she has quite a collection of atomic cars. She has the 7 XE latest model out. All you have to do is get in, push a button and you don't even have to steer I it, and when you want to stop just push another button. Although she can't drive much at night ready lighted. -4' f Who ever thought 30 years ago that Bill Atteberry would fill his life ambition? We Q heard that Bill is hiding around in an atomic powered police car with a television set in both the 0 : front and back seat. Bill has become the chief of police in what used to be the small town ' of Armington. It now has a population of 100, 000 since 1960. This is because of the 5 Atomic Energy Plant out near the suburb of Zimmerville. Bill says he controls 300 ' men, but now he has gotten rid of one of his tasks. That's Gitana, because he doesn't have to look after her as his dad did. 'TT Who's that over there? He looks quite important. Why it's Wayne Dickson. Wonder what he's been doing. A farmer, you might guess as much. Ihear farming is quite a snap these days, just about all automatic. He's made quite a success of himself. He owns a very large farm. Since it's practically all done by machine he got himself into an awful mess the other 0 Q day. The whole process is to be done in one day. That is you set these machines and they run by themselves So you se-nd one to plow, one to harrow, one to mark rows and plant seeds. So Wayne sent the one 0 I 1 .V i with it yet because it doesn't have lights and she has to keep on the speedways that are al- ,J 5 ' N if f - Y 1 'i I that harrows first, then the one that plants second, and the one that plows last. Boy, did 0 he ever have a mess. Q '1 l He also has a small dance band. I hear it is going places. I wouldn't want to say ' d where the places were! - 9 ,Q Later in the afternoon we are to have an art demonstration by Eleanor yg -L ,N Brennemenn. With this fast age the art is really quite fantastic, as it features a future C x in age much more miraculous than the atomic age of today. She has also gained fame as a sg ? fl writer. Her writings featuring for the most part her feelings which are calm and cool il' ,if during this fast age. Eleanor has finally broken into the ranks and the men have admitted ' she has far more creative talent. V Another one of her jobs is sports editor of the Armington Helper. This is quite some 1 job as the Mustangs went to state in basketball this last season. They also have a wonder- 9 ful baseball team as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals the other day. in 1 They say Eleanor sure gets the news covered and sent back to the paper in a , Na hurry. I guess she has changed since high school days. X I A As we look at the graduates of 5Z we see someone whose I f ' ideas haven't been changed by the new atomic methods of farm- ing. Jr. Sinn still uses his faithful old John Deere, which we 6 0 . used to hear so much about. He claims modern methods are all bunk. He ai seems to be doing very well for himself so maybe he is right after all about 1 6 . this atomic age. v 1 , Q fini, i' in .. ' P Z l , f A! 5 OW .XVL Aff ,,,,. E-N, gl W x lf N W I X + ff 1. H f Y 'xr I X Ty Junior Class History In the year of 1949-'50, eleven green Freshmen enrolled in H. T. H. S. We elected S. Wagoner, Presidentg D. Davis, Vice-Presi- dent: M. Litwiller, Secretary-Treasurer, D. Brown, Reporter3Miss Elliott, sponsor. We were sorry to lose Kenneth Garriott our Sophomore year, but were glad to welcome Bill Marlett. Later Ronald Downing moved to Bloomington, leaving us with only ten members. Class officers were: D. Brown, Presidentg M. Litwiller, Vice-President, B. Marlett, Secretary-Treasurer, R. Downing, Reporterg J. Anderson and S. Wagoner, Student Council members, Sponsor, Mrs. Murphy. Our class ranked highest in the magazine sales that year. To earn money this year, we have sold Christmas cards, refreshments at the ball games, and received the proceeds from the all school play, Inner Willy, in which most of us participated. On January 5, Glenna Ellis was married, reducing our class to nine mem- bers. All the boys participated in sports, Diane and Jeanne are cheerleaders, all but three are in band, Mary Ellen and Jeanne are in girls' chorus. We are proud to give the Junior-Senior Proin. It was given on May 16. Junior Class Officers Top, center, D. Davis, President: top, left, C. Kindred, Vice-Presidentg top, right, M. E. Hickey, Secretary, bottom, left, J.

As Freshmen in Hittle Township our number had decreased. Lila Lee had gone to Hopedale High, Robert Deterts and Joe Tackett took up farming. Lloyd Mitchell joined our class at the beginning of this year. Outside of the usual class party, our ac- tivities as Freshmen were not many. A.bake sale sponsored by our class helped fill our treas- ury. We started our Sophomore year with ll in our class. During the first semester Tommy Anderson left us to go to Kentucky to live. To raise money during our Sophomore year we helped with the carnival and had several bake sales. We donated money to the Polio Fund and have a balance on hand of about sixty dollars.

The Freshmen-Bewildered But Eager We started our Freshman year with nineteen members. Shirley Messerole from McLean joined our class and Carolyn Turner returned to our class after a year in Bloomington. As the year passed we lost four members, Lois Houser, Gerald Bass, Grace Mullins, and Wayne Mullins. This spring Leona Waddell from Arkansas joined us. During the Freshman year we proved that we had quite a lot of sales ability. Much money was turned in by the Freshman Class during the annual magazine sales. From the sales of carnival tickets, Darlene Atteberry won the distinction of being queen. The grade school basketball. games proved an excellent outlet for us to makemoney. From the sales of popcorn, candy, and pop, we started CLASS OFFICERS a Very good savings account. Darlene Atteberry .... -...President Erma J. Powell .... Vxce-President Leta Gresham ..........

H. A. Big sisters were chosen from the Junior and Senior girls for the Freshman and Sophomore girls. The big sisters help their little sisters in their pro- blems throughout the school year. An Installation Tea was held in October. The Hopedale Chapter came to install our officers. A joint party with the F. F. A. was held in November. We also observed National F. H. A. Week. The F. H. A. and F. F. A. went Christmas caroling and refreshments were enjoyed by all afterward. The Freshmen were initiated in a formal ceremony in January. At this time they also received their Junior Homemaking degrees. In the month to come we hope to have an exchange party, and our Mother and Daughter Tea. FIRST ROW: Left to Right: D.

One day while boiling maple sap, at his sugar camp, he was visited by an elderly neighbor who had a law book. Mr. Richmond become so interested in the book that he inquired if he might purchase same. The friend assured him that he would be glad to sell it. In studying the book Mr. Richmond found that it would be possible to establish a high school upon the petition of a given number of applicants. He started canvassing the vicinity and found the idea was well received by all those desiring a secondary edu- cation for their children. After consultation with an attorney, the petition was made. Mr. Richmond secured the signature of many people, then it was filed for action. The grant was soon made and work on a new high school was started. Its work in the community has always been estimable and we are grateful for the founding and continuance of Our Hittle Town- ship High School. Armington Votes on Locatior of New High School fTaken from the files ofthe Atlanta Argus, Friday, November 15, 1901, Remember the school election next Saturday. Ye who are patriotic, ye who love country more than self, come out, stand up in the strength of your manhood and do that which will cause the rising generation to rise up and call you blessed. Locate the schoolhouse south of block ten, and when the time for your departure shall come, white winged cherubims may gather around you and gently waft your tired spirit to lands of bliss and throughout the centuries to come you will ever be remembered by what you have done. Now, ye stiff necked and stubborn, if this don't bring you, you are for- ever lost. fTaken from the files of the Atlanta Argus, Friday, November ZZ, 19011 The election to locate the new township high school was duly held November 16 at the town hall in Armington. Three or four sites were voted on and when the votes were counted, it was found that the site across the stree south of block 10 had a majority of twenty-one votes, thus settling the question of where the house should be. That will give one block for the high school on the east side of the street running north and south past W. E. I-lobart's store, and can front west or north either one. Friends, this is all O. K. , and we feel assured that the school board will now get a hustle on them and get the material on the ground before spring opens up, so that the work may begin as soon as spring comes. 1 48 February 14, 1902 Eunice Richmond The township school board has extended the time for letting the contract for the high school building ten days. That will make the time February 20. Push is the word now.

ZND ROW: Winifred Walker Martin, Hazel DeLong Hayes. Mrs. Harriett Markland Verry Mr. Clive DeLong A Prophecy Class of 1909 An impressive silence pervades the atmosphere as I sit alone on the east porch of my New England mountain home, this evening. The clear blue sky dotted with myriads of tiny stars, the harvest moon peering through yon mountain peaks and throwing a soft mantle of light over the valley and the dew settling on the cool green grass at the close of a long summer day carry me back to the days of my childhood and the old homestead among the maples and elms of Central Illinois. Right well do I remember how on my graduation from the Hittle High School in 1910, I dreamed of the beauties and grandeur of the future of a life which should bring me fame throughout the land. Oh! foolish days of youth. The next year I married and with my husband who was an actor began a career on the stage. In this line I continued for 13 years when the breaking of my health compelled me to seek rest in travel, which I began by taking a visit to my old home in Armington, Illinois. While enroute to Illinois the airship in which I was sailing suddenly became deranged, compelling us to alight at a small country town, Vernon, in Indiana. While waiting for repairs I was strolling over the town when I ran upon a wiz- ened, gray haired, swarfish man of perhaps 40 years of age. He was a curious looking personage and, while his dress and appearance and the old blind horse which he drove to a rickety huckster wagon plainly bespoke the farmer, it was easily told that he had seen better days. At his side attired in a red calico dress and faded slat sunbonnet reared back with the dignity of a queen sat his wife, hale, hearty, and fifty. Despite the many years which had elapsed since I had seen this woman, her laughing brown eyes and pleasant smile recalled to mind at once an old teacher at Armington and I decided to speak to her. Hailing them on the street, I soon had the history of their past ten years laid bare. Ray Albright, for such was the old man's name, greeted me very cordially and his wife, formerly Miss Jessie Newcomb, were living peacefully together in their suburban home near Vernon, whither they had gone shortly after Ray's dismal failure, six years previous as the rival of Webster in the production of big words. I must not tarry however, as the ship was now ready. I bade my friends good-bye and started onward landing in Armington August 6. I went to the post office and who should I see at the door, ready for all corners, but the new post- mistress, formerly Miss Mabel Medberry, but now Mrs. Edmund Darnall. She told me that through an immense poultry farm which they had started a few years ago all their wealth had been lost and that now while she ran the post office, Edmund ran a milk wagon for a living. After a few days here I passed out to Lickskillet, Illinois, where an old friend was now living, Lenore Walker. She was a confirmed old maid and lived in great happiness among her chickens and other pets. Lenore was a great favorite with the children in and around the Skillet but woe to any man who should dare step foot inside her door. Before leaving my Armington home for the West, I decided to take a trip into the shady wood south of town where I had spent so many happy hours. How like the old days of my youth it seemed. Here and there I wandered among the oaks and walnuts and maples dreaming again the dreams of the happiness of my childhood. When startled suddenly from my reverie I saw an old tumble down cabin, apart and alone on the hillside while nearby ran a small stream of water. Green were the banks on which rested a cup, the one Billy Doon had oft drank fromg for this was his home and neath yon porch sat a woman, rustic in look and at each side of her chair lay a faithful old watchdog, in her lap lay dozing a opossum. At her feet a young coon softly sleeping seemed to wholly occupy her attention. These were her pets so it seemed and she was contented and happy. I did not disturb her meditations but walking back to the village heard she was a student of nature, that she sang to her pets, the birds and the flowers, nor mingled much with the townsfolk. A fine woman she was or so they said, but now an old maid and quite homely. She lived but to delve into nature, for content with the world was Miss Blackburn. Leaving Armington for the West we stopped for the evening at St. Louis and went to hear the famous Madela and equally great Heinrich who were making their world tour in Grand Opera. I had heard much of this famous couple but never before had heard them sing. At first I listened to the rounded notes of the great contralto Madela, and then as the full clear tones of the tenor Heinrich filled the house I sat entranced. It seemed a dream. Loud and beautiful sounded those two wonderful voices till there was scarce a dry face in the vast audience. It seemed like being with the infinite to hear them as they closed the program with a selection from Rubenstein. After the vast concourse of people had left the auditorium we started at once for the hotel Southern where the noted singers were staying and here we met Madame Madela and Monsieur Heinrich as old friends Mr. and Mrs. John Hanger, his wife being the former Miss Edith Davidson. Leaving St. Louis we started for the West and were going along nicely when the gasoline in the engine gave out and we were compelled to alight in a ranchhouse in southern Colorado. Going to the cabin door who should greet me but my old schoolteacher, Mr. Kramer. What a surprise! I thought he was still an instructor in the University of Heidelberg and to find him here attired as a cowpuncher with chaps, a slouch hat, heavy leather boots and spurs was beyond comprehension. Yet as I think back I can hardly help realize that he seemed perfectly at home. Showing us into his home he introduced us to his wife, formerly Miss Mauna Verry, who had run away from home so long ago. But what seemed most homelike was their eight prattling little children, Augustus, the eldest boy, was a captain, indeed. The very image of his father. Securing oil at a nearby town we soon, with many regrets, left our friends and continued to San Francisco. After purchasing supplies we started on our trip across the ocean in our airship. I shall never forget that journey all through the long day and half the next when we reached Tokyo, it seemed that we were everlastingly doomed to destruction in the great waters below, but at last we reached safety. Spending a short visit with the Mikado we started for China and landed in one of the inland towns, Fauns, early in the evening. Going at once to the American settlement we registered at a hotel and went out for a short walk before dinner. Hardly had we gone two blocks before we ran across a friend who we had not seen nor heard from in several years, Miss Gertrude Hanger. I hardly knew her she had changed so but one could not easily forget those laughing eyes. Gertrude in- formed us that she and her fiance, Mr. Dixon, had disagreed and she had come to China as a missionary. She had devel- aoped the Chinese habits and dress and it was surprising how she could eat rice with two little chopsticks. The second day in Fauirqs, Gertrude took us to one of the missionary schools where Lloyd Keisling and his Chinese wife we re teaching the Christian Gospel to the lower classes. Having run across so many of my old friends I determined to visit the American Ambassador to China, Markland, and wife who were at San Too. San Too is a pleasant little town in central China, surrounded by a huge grove of mangold trees. On three sides mountain peaks rise to a great height on which from the village in the valley can be seen great white peaks of snow the year around. The village itself has a pleasant even temperature and is quite a watering place for tourists. At the north edge of town where the aristocratic set reside, can be seen the Gothic home of Charles Markland, and it was here that Charles and his beautiful wife, formerly Miss Alma Logue, entertained my husband and I, for a week in true Royal fashion, when I received a telegram informing me of the success of a play which I had written while on the stage. It was entitled, A Romance in the Hittle Township High School, and my youthful ambitions and aspirations for fame no longer seemed dreams but a reality. We made a flying trip home in our airship, making the journey in three days and arrived at our New England home last evening for a few weeks rest before taking up our work on the stage again. .

T. H. S. The school was built in 1902, enlarged to its present size in 1916. In 1926 the gymnasium was built. About 1938, the section of the building that originally housed the old gym was remodeled into three rooms, a farm shop room, home economics room, and music room. The last addition was made to the gym in 1949 when a band room, coach's office, and dressing rooms were enlarged on the east end ofthe gym. The members of the Hi-Lite Staff would like to express their appreciation to the many alumni who sent letters, pictures, and clippings. We are only sorry that there are so many from whom we did not hear, and time did not permit us to search out all your accomplishments, but we hope that we have included something that will bring back fond memories of your years at H. T. H. S. As we bid you adieu, we wish to say that it has been a pleasure to have you go with us back over memory's trails. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we. In parting, we wish to leave one thought with you. The Set Of The Sails One ship sails east, another west, With the self same winds that blowg 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gail, That decides the way to go. Like the winds of the seas are ways of fate, As we journey along through life. 'Tis the will of the soul'that decides the goal And not the calm of the strife.

Mrs. Verna Watt Bodeen Rice Lake, Wisconsin On my occasional visits to Armington as I walk by the high school I am reminded of the many changes and the great progress that has taken place in the fifty years of its existence. The half building, which stood for many years in its modest beginning, has now become a modern up to date and attractive structure. Where we at that time had an outdoor basketball court, where boys and girls had their turns at playing, there now stands a very fine gymnasium. One of my most vivid memories is the old barn which stood on the corner where Rose Lorig's house now stands, where Luella Richmond, Orrin Pratt, the Darnell girls, Roscoe and Ray Albright, 1-letty, Harriet and Charley Markland kept their horses which they drove to school each morning, carrying with them a bag of feed with which to feed them at noon. There were many who walked two miles or more to school in the olden days and enough: nothing of it. v As to accomplishments in life, my greatest has been giving birth to six children, and while every normal family has its share of sorrows and disappointments I have received much happiness raising a family and doing work within my church. With kind regards to yourself and all my friends in Armington and hope your fiftieth anniversary yearbook will he a big success, I am Yours sincerely, Verna Watt Bodeen Mrs. Jessie Caton Wilson Emporia, Kansas Maggie Winstead Qdeceasedj Mrs. Carrie Lancaster Willmert Thomas A.

Mrs. Maris Hieronymua Hanger 530' Edith Street Missoula, Montana Mrs. Annie Lee McDowell Chumley Amiilla, Texas Mr. Clide I. Carr Tispell, Montana I graduated from H. T. H. S. with the class of 1912 and after attending State Normal at Normal for two years, married Ruth Marguerite Jones and came back to H. T. H. S. as a teacher in 1915-'16. The school year of 1917 was interrupted by our going to Canada. After farming there for three years, we moved to a farm at Kalispell, Montana, in 1919. We farmed for ten years, but going was pretty tough so I finally secured a U. S. Government job in the post office at Kalispell, where we still reside, having been appointed Assistant Postmaster March 1, 1940, in which capacity 1 am still serving. The special hi-lites of my life have been kids, church work, and singing for the community. We have had seven children, two of whom died in infancy--our oldest girl, Della Ve, has her M. A. in foreign language and psychology, and is now Dean of Girls here at Flathead County High School, an institution of a thousand students. The second girl, Bernice Marguerite, is the wife of a rural mail carrier out of Kalispell, and she also conducts a beauty parlor. She has our only granddaughter. Our nm-4 child, Clide 1.. In-., has his Ph. D. in chemistry and is a research chemist for U. S. Rubber at Passaic, New Jersey. He is married and has two sons--one a red- head--he was a major in World War II. Our fourth child, Jeanne, a twin, is married to Frank J. Hitchcock, who has his B. S. in mining from the Butte School of Mines, and is now a supervising engineer for the Oliver Mining Company on the Messabi Range. They have one son and reside in Coleraine, Minnesota. Bill, the youngest, is a stamp clerk in the Kalispell Post Office. He enlisted while still in high school and served hls hitch in the U. S. Army. At the cessation of hostilities, as a sergeant. he enter- tained troops in the U. S. Script and Score Unit. He came back for one year at the university--married--and now has one son, Clide. He lives next door to his dad. Our interests have always been music and the Christian Church, which have always seemed to bind the family very closely together. Hardly a function takes place in Kalispell but what one of the Carrs is asked to sing--if he'll do lt. Kalispell is at the gateway to Glacier National Park, one of the most beautiful in the world. Thirty miles from Kalispell is being constructed the fourth largest concrete dam in the world. Five miles out of Kalispell is to be a 3-potline aluminum processing plant. Kalispell is suffer- ing growing pains, but it is still a nice place to live. Best wishes. Cllde I. Carr CLASS OF 1913 Facmty Eunice Blac urn.

I played La Campanella by Lialt at the county high school meet in East Peoria and the following day in the state meet at Milllkin University in Decatur. After graduation I continued my study of music at Bradley Conservatory, Peoria, and later at MacMurray College in Jacksonville. In 1925 I was married to Hsrold Wessler of Areneville where we have lived ever since. We have three sons. V Since I didn't do anything professionally with my music my sole interest has been my family. which l'm very proud of.

As for myself there is no recent photo fthe hair is getting thinl but you may be sure it was only yesterday when 1 walked into that perfectly enormous assembly room--it was bigger than any 40 acre field I had ever seen, and I felt conspicuous to the point of something hard to describe. Incidentally, I lived seven miles away, over the deep mud of those years and had been in Armington only two or three times previously, never in the school. Among the high lights were the Freshman Initiation ni September, 1920, fEd Rifhrnond and Virginia Verry ought to recall it if no one else doesll, the debate we won from undefeated Minier, the relay race at the county meet which we didn't win fl could weep over that one yetj, and of course my first date, for the Junior-Senior Banquet Qdo they still have themtj. And there were three very important teachers in my life during the period. Miss Chenoweth of Atlanta deserves special mention as do Mr. Shelley and Vernon Plummer--she came first, the others later. Together they did more to make me a student that should be expected of even good teachers considering the refactory nature of the material. 1 later had the pleasure of teaching for two years with Mr, Plummer in Northern Illinois, where he was Superintendent of Schools. As to the period since, it is fairly well convered in outline by the attached sketch, now somewhat out of date, from the biographical directory of Who's Who in America. m ,, F sunk The only majoiemf-eT : .N T1 added is that since early 1951, 'A ' L, in addition to my job on the ' 2 2 Hill , Ihave been a partner in V, ,.',' the Washington law firm of l IL Spaulding, Reiter, and Rose. ,-I Maybe it's middle age ,aus ' -, u - D' nostalgia creeping up but I have EE. s I H 2: V .

One year Maruerite Ross rode with us. When March thaws came, we traveled ln a buggy or a carriage. Freshman Initiations and a few school parties, especially the time someone brought a five-cent piece of limburge r. Learning typing and sewing, both of which have come in handy many times slnce. Being Marmee in the school play Little Women about the time I was a Junior because none of the other girls was tall enough. Going with our Senior civics class to visit the State School and Colony in Lincoln. Graduating in the spring of l9Z5. Wrote my Senior paper on Hull House, which still interests me. Since then: a two-year diploma in lower grade work from ISNU at Normal, Illinois: three years of teaching grades in Illinois public schools. I spent most of these summers in Chicago working as s waitress, then as a cashier in a drug store. A. B.

H.S. --fll I was a member of the Class of l9Z6 which was the first class to hold graduating exercises in the present gymnasium, ss it was built the year I was s Senior. In fact, our class had the sidewalk laid which goes from the street walk to the gym. IZI I was a member ofthe cast of the high school play given to dedicate the gymnasium. It seems to me that the title of the play was something like Much To Do About Ruth . I know that I played the part of Ruth and that the name of Ruth was ln the name of the play. I have been working since July, 1945 in the head office of the Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company at Davenport, Iowa. .I do the statistical and accounting work for the Power Pool Section of the Electric Pro- duction Department of the company.

Dear Friends, We are living in lovely Puerto Rico and would be so pleased to have a visit from some of our good friends in the states. Puerto Rico has been called the paradise at the front door of the U. S. A. There are palm trees here and broad white beaches shining in almost constant sunshine. In fact you'll Iind just about everything in Puerto Rico that the magic word Caribbean brings to mind. Here is the Latin-American music, the Spanish- American fiesta, the good food and warm hospitality which characterize the West Indies. In addition you have no customs or immigration, or other fettering red tape restrictions to worry about, because you are on U. S. territory. The summer average temperature is 1l.9 degrees, the winter 73.4 degrees. Eastern Air Line has a daily non stop D. C. flight from Miami. That is the trip my family took when they joined me here. Since leaving the States I have flown back to Tampa twice. Always nice to get back home. Best wishes to old H. T. H. S. friends and a warm invitation to visit us for a Puerto Rican vacation.
