Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1965 volume:

the homerian 1965 Volume 4 7 Published by the Class of 1965 HOMER HIGH SCHOOL HOMER, ILLINOIS IN MEMORY OF HENRY LEWIS We, the Senior Class of 1965, dedicate this yearbook as a tribute to the memory of our friend who was so much a part of our school life. RETROSPECT The time is 1920. Homer High School looks a little different, but its students have the same wonderful spirit they possess in 1965. On March 12, H. H. S. had the first track meet on record. It was part of the entertainment held to amuse the basketball boys and coach, Mr. Landis. Partners were found by matching halves of athletic pictures such as a tennis shoe, a basketball, or a tennis racket. There was a high jump, broad grin, shot put, relay race, 20-foot dash, sack race, pole vault, and hurdle race. Eightyears pass through our hour glass. At this time, H. H. S. has attained some new organizations. In 1924, the H Clubcameinto being. Its purpose was to reward the boys who have participated in high school athletics and won their letter, by providing for them a special organization. The High School Orchestra also came into being somewhere in this span of time. It was necessary to practice before or after school. Most of the members were very faithful, makinglt possi .It l r the orchestra to appear several times during 1928 ta assist programs. Scanning through the pages of the 1930 Homerian, we find the raving beauties Homer High has always been famous for and the unusual little sights that make one realize how much fun we have in H. H. S. In this yearbook, we find two new organizations: literary clubs that were called the Odysseyan Society and the Iliadian Society, On April 5, the first Iliadian- Odysseyan Literary Contest was held. The final score was 50 to 48 in favor of the Odysseyans. They took their namefrom Homer's famous epic, TheOdyssey. As more grains of sand slide through the hour glass, we find ourselves gazing upon the 1931 football team! The team beat Indianola by a score of 7-0 and Chrisman was a 12-0 victory. This year is outstanding in the respect that on the evening of November 25, the first operetta, Daughters of Mohammed , was presented by the High School Glee Clubs. (The operetta was based on the legend of The Three Beautiful Princesses which is found in Irving's Alhambra”. In the fall of 1937, Homer's spirit soars. It was greatly supported by two cheerleaders, a girl and a boy. A Pep Club was organized. Each of the four classes elected two girls to represent them in this new club. In 1938, we turn our attention to Homer's beautiful campus, and to the exhausted workers who have no doub: contributed their time and effort to keep it up. We also take a quick glance at some young biologists. Biology hasn't changed much, right sophomores? As increasing grains of sand slip through the neck of thehourglass and the 1940 yearbook appears before us, we view two new organizations. The Home Ec Club was formed to create friendship and interest among the girls who were participating in Home Economics. The Correspondence Club was formed as apart of the Girl's Council. The sponsor obtained a list of names of boys and girls wishing pen pals . The girls then chose someone from a distant place who had similar interests. Many unusual letters and snapshots were exchanged. The sands continue their silent flow through the hour-glass and 1951 comes into view. We see Homer's band proudly making their appearance with five lovely majorettes. In 1955 we see Homer's spirit is very high. The Student Council project for the year was the selling of Centennial Derbies at the District Basketball Tourna- ment. On February 25, 1955, the Panthers won this tournament, which was held in their new gymnasium. OKslSt (S As the final grains of sand fall through the hourglass, w e bring to a close all the pleasant experiences and excit- ing events of the past, but the wonderful spirit that has been the life of Homer High School is still ours today as we view each page of Homer's 1965 annual yearbook.

Cobwebs greeted them at the door along with all their friends dressed in fitting Hal- loween attire. Records for dancing were played and an appropriate ghost story was another feature of the dance. Prizes for best costumes were given, and a door prize (a door) was awarded. Everyone seemed to have a frightfully good time, and the Senior Class appreciated the support. On Thursday, October 10, 1964, Homecoming officially started with a bonfire and a snakedance through town. There was no school Friday, but we had the usual parade showing the floats and candidates. That night, the Junior float won first prize with its theme, We'll Butcher 'em” and the Panthers made Homecoming a complete suc- cess with a 13-6 victory over arch-rival ABL. After the victory, the Homecoming Dance started featuring Bob Norman and his Orchestra. Then at 10:30 p.m. came the procession of King and Queen candidates. They were as follows: Student Council GAA and H-Club FHA and FFA Senior Class Junior Class Sophomore Class Freshman Class Brenda Ball Margo Brandon Carol Magers Barb Webb Cindy Wienke Kathy Crisalle Jackie Melton John Morrison Terry Wolf Jim Allen. Mike Wakefield Jeff Bryan Roger Bogan Don Humphrey Moments later after Carol Magers and Mike Wakefield had been crowned Queen and King of the 1964 Homecoming, the Royal Couple danced to the theme song, Wonder- land By Night. MOCK POLITICAL RALLY Coinciding with the presidential and gubernatorial elections of 1964, a mock political rally was held at Homer High School November 1, 1964. This rally aroused much interest and enthusiasm among the students. Posters for both parties started appearing a week before the election on the walls, stairs, floors, and doorways. The participating students spent time working on speeches, and these were presented in front of the student body. Brenda Ball was the party chairman for the Democrats and Ann Trees was the party chairman for the Republican party. Rod Doak was the keynote speaker for the Demo- crats. John Morrison spoke for Governor Koernor, and Jeane Poole for President Johnson on the Democratic side. Melissa Wienke spoke for Percy who was running for Governor, and Scott Trees spoke for Barry Goldwater as candidate from the Republican party. An added attraction tcthe rally was the Goldwater Girls-Georgi Davis, Jane Robinson, Susan Canaday-and the Lyndon Ladies-Barbara Tate, Margo Brandon, and Karen Brewer. The crowd became very enthusiastic over the speeches. Many of the students had noise-makers, and others threw confetti. Balloons and confetti were also dropped from the balcony. All of these objects made the rally seem very real. The next day a voting place was set up. Two people from each party watched the polls continually. The outcoming results from the presi- dential election made the Democratic party quite happy. Johnson and Humphrey won over Goldwater and Miller 74 votes to 35 votes. In the election for governor Percy beat Koerner 57 votes to 51 votes. The mock political rally was a great success and it definitely provided a little added interest. Although the evening of November 20, 1964, was a stormy one, at 7:30 the high school was filled with people anxiously awaiting the Parade of Brides , sponsored by the Future Homemakers of America. This style show included wedding dresses from 1886 to 1964. Along with some of the later style gowns, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses were also featured. Many gowns were worn by the owners, but others were modeled by F.H.A. girls. The style show was narrated by Barbara Tate and Malinda Brew- er. As the brides walked through the audience, the Sophisticats, the high school swing band, furnished accompanying music. During tte Roaring 20’s , Debby Durst, Karen Brewer, and Daisy Bucha- nan, dressed in genuine costume of that era, stepped out a Charles- ton. More evening entertainment was supplied by Margo Brandon and Georgianna Davis with two piano duets. The surprise of the evening, however, was when Malinda Brewer and Barbara Tate crowned three year old Sandra Robertson as Little Miss F.H.A. On February 13, 1965, the annual F. H. A. Sweetheart Dance began at 9:00. Wayne Karr and his orchestra provided the dance music, playing Dear Heart as the theme for the evening. The gym was beautifully decorated in red and white, and the center of attraction was the red, pin-cushion heart placed in front of the stage and behind the throne. At 10:30, the candidates stepped onto the floor, then Queen Peggy Kizer and King Dave Krukewitt were crowned. The crown- bearers were Sandy Robertson and David Nabors. The royal court for the even- ing were: Karen Brewer and Wes King, Freshman Class; Tina Kibler and Jerry Krugh, Sophomore Class; Connie Wakefield and Jim Nale, Junior Class; Sandy Bradley and Guy James, SeniorClass; Peggy Kizer, F. H. A.; Jeff Bryan, F. F. A.; Paula Swallow, G. A. A.; Dave Krukewitt, H Club; and Daisy Buchanan and John Morrison, Student Council.

Dave Krukewitt and Dick Reynolds were elected co-captains and the Panthers were ready (after 3 weeks of hard practice) to open the season with Bis- marck. The Panthers started the season out with a bang. They won their first four games before meeting the stubborn Ridgefarm Bull- dogs on their homecoming. Homer went on to finish the season with a 4-3-1- record.

Although he could not run full speed all year, he still was able to take the honor of being the high scorer for Homer this year. Mike Koerner was second. The highlight of the year had to be the Uni High meet when Wolf picked up four firsts for 20 points. Although no records were set this year, Dick Reynolds came just as close as anyone could, as he missed the low hurdle mark by one tenth of a second. The Panthers were not able to win any trophys and had no one placing above third in any big meet. It was a dry year this year and we hope that next year is a more successful one. The lettermen for this year are; Seniors-Terry Wolf, Dave Krukewitt, Dick Reynolds, Gerald Sharp, and Raymond Gordon. Juniors-Joe Henderson Jeff Bryan, and Mike Koerner. Sophomores-Dale Cope, Jerry Krugh, and Dave Melton. Freshmen-Wes King. Wes, by the way, is the first Freshman to win a Varsity letter in track since 1961. FR£OJ U£N ¥ .

We have seen how this book has progressed from notes scribbled on a slip of paper, pictures and type-written captions, to an actual hard-bound book! There were times when it seemed impossible, but through the wonderful cooperation of the yearbook staff—we made it! We truly want to thank all of our fellow classnates who worked so hard, our parents and teachers for their advice, and all of you who supported us by buying this year's Homerian. We now turn it over to you for your enjoyment. The Editors, V' S3 eHMlP ass � p!«S§SS? S .' 25k- Ste s BS 5«1 pV 'v -v-V l3t3 W v- S(U- 5$ 52 Hg -2a •;v—? ? MC : ■ . - t;;; W 1 'VZF-M ? •« _ ' .
