SECREIARY Margaret Grenz - Ni ' T Mf rmU 1iSBZ8Sff THANKS Miss Van Vondercn: We want to say thanks a lot for the help and guidance you gave us as the advisor of the Mack. You were willing to help us with the prob- lems and when things seemed to go wrong and we became discouraged, you gave us one of your pep talks. Besides being advisor, you were also Chief Cook for the work sessions that we had after school. Mighty good suppers we had, too! So, here ' s a sincere Thanks, from all of us. The Mack Staff To Mr. Miller, who has been a fine class sponsor and guiding light to the class of 1954. Through his guidance and organization dur- ing the last four years, the Seniors can safely say that those years have been successful ones. Mr. Miller ' s help and advice was of great value in the solving of the many class prob- lems. Without him the class could not have done the many things it has done well. So here is the most sincere and warmest thanks to a wonderful teacher from the class he has so skillfully sponsored. Class of 54 — 6 — SENIORS So little done— so much to do.

That was the year that the largest Freshman class entered the walls of H.C.H.S., but who feels big when they are only freshies . ' ' To start thmgs off right, they elected as officers: Bill Moss, President; Betty Mallicoat, Vice-President; Margaret Pearson, ' secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Miller was appointed their sponsor. Right away the thought of the Senior Trip loomed into the picture. They got busy and sponsored a dance and conces- sion. This, plus the class dues, gave them a good start toward the Trip. Back again for year number two, the class decided to be different. Instead of electing offi- cers, they elected a committee of ten, consisting of Mary Kocher, Chairman; Del Hasse, Marlene Carter, Margaret Pearson, Betty Mallicoat, Alan Sund, John Stogsdill, Dave Bottimer, Karlene Porter, and Don Rigotti. Then they were upper classmen! The busy, busy Junior year got underway with the elec- tion of the officers. They were: John Stogsdill, President; Alan Sund, Vice-President; Pat Bald- win Secretary; and Margaret Pearson, Treasurer. On November 14, 1952 the class presented their Tunior Play Paradise Lost. During the Christmas season they undertook the project ot selling Christmas trees. Then on May 9, 1953 they held their Jr.-Sr. Prom, with a theme of Ap- ple Blossom Time. They were one of the rare classes to make a fair profit. On May 19, lyti;} these busy Juniors held the Jr.-Sr. Banquet at the Log Lodge in Rockford. Now THE year! 1954! The year that all underclassmen look forward to, the Senior year. Elected as officers were: Alan Sund, President; Carol Brown, Vice-President; Mane Morgan, Secretary; and Margaret Pearson, Treasurer. This turned out to be the busiest of all. Homecom- ing, noon lunches, selling Christmas cards, senior play, senior trip, and then the most exciting part of the whole year . . . GRADUATION! 14 — CLASSES Learning without thought is labor lost Confucius JUNIORS B. Jones, F. Fuller, P. Farrell, R. Jacobson. M. Riser, D. Larson. The class o£ ' 55 began their £reshmen year with an enrollment of 81. Miss Englund was ap- pointed as their advisor. . They began their sophomore year with fewer class members, but with more experience and enthusiasm. Mary Hopkins was elected President; Richard Brady, Vice-president; Linda Carter, Secretary; and Don Lowe, Treasurer. Their first project to earn money for the senior trip was selling sweat shirts. . • . „■ Upperclassmen!, entering H.C.H.S. for their third year, they were confronted with putting on a class play, the Jr.-Sr. Prom and the Jr.-Sr. Banquet. Their play, Love Rides The Rails was considered the most successful junior play ever put on at Hononegah. Officers for the year were: Meii Kiser, President; Mary Hopkins, Vice-president; Pat Kel- sey. Secretary, and Bruce Wilcox, Treasurer. Only the classified juniors are pictured. Absent: J. Mackley.

As the season progressed the Indians improved and finally achieved a real upset in beat- ing Marengo on their own floor after having been soundly th rashed twice before by Marengo. Another surprise was the Indian victory over the Dur- and Bulldogs after having been scalped by almost 40 points in a previous meeting. The team lacked experience and skill but was long on spirit and fight. With every team in the Conference stronger this year, with the ex- ception of Marengo, it was a pleasant surprise that the team kept trying to the best of their ability, e en though they were beaten by superior forces time after time. This ability to keep fighting back under terrific handi- caps, made this team a champion in my eyes, even though it does not look that way in the won and lost columns. Vith the consolidation of the grade school districts in the Hononegah District and the building of grade school gyms the basketball situation is boimd to improve at Hononegah, thougli it will take time. — 27 — H CLUB FIRST ROW: Coach George Kelsey, J.

THE INDIAN The Indian, published in the Rocklon Herald, has made a big step in 1953-54. Under the careful guidance of Miss Van Vonderen and editorship of John Stogsdill, the members have set up a platform for the Indian. The purpose of the platform is to help present news impartially and accur- ately, and to give increased attention to spring sports, including better planned pep assemblies and better participation in all minor sports.

MACK STAFF The purpose of the Mack Staff is to pre- sent a record of the school events, and this is what they have worked hard to do. Aside from schediilina;, arranging and pasting pictures, ad-getting, name checking, subscription taking, lots of planning, a few days of headaches and rushing . . . there ' s really nothing to it, and it has even been fun at times. They would like to thank Miss Van Vonderen for all the advice and help she gave them for the yearbook, and also say thanks to the subscribers, and the adver- tisers, who helped finance the book. They sincerely hope the students like the ' 54 Mack, and wish the best of luck to the Staff of ' 55. D. Hasse, L. Hopp. A. .Simd. M. Carter. J. Gleasman, M. Kocher, P. Baldwin. J. Bumsted, C.

It was one of the old time melodramas with a hero and a heroine, a villain and accomplice. The leading characters were F. Fidler, S. Sprightly, R. Jacob- son, M. Kiser, and C. Ellis. The jun- iors did a wonderful job of producing the play with the expert guidance of Mrs. Grimshaw, their director, and Sandra Whisman, student director. L. Case. R. Sager, D. Lowe. A. Glcasm.Tn. D.
