Bus Driver: Adolph Faust Bus Driver: Al Post Custodian: Tony Janssen Dear Friends: We are dedicating the 1955 annual to you in order that we might express our deep-felt thanks. We greatly appreciate all the work you, as part of the high school staff, have done behind the scenes and beyond the call of duty without receiving proper laud. Cordially yours, The Senior Class of 55 DEDICATICDN Bus Driver: Lester Roberts Secretary: Margaret Grenz 13...- Bus Driver: Ralph Reiser Miss Thelma Englund We, the Class of 55, want to say thanks a lot to one with a little voice, who doesn't say much except when needed. Through the past four years here at Hononegah, you have been our guiding light over the bad humps, which we could not have met and conquered so successfully without you. Once again, thanks, to a most able sponsor, Mrs. Frances Masterson: We would like to say a sincere thanks to you, a wonderful and appreciated friend and advisor of ours. We appreciated those helpful hints and sug- gestions you gave us. You gave us staff members the inspiration and encouragement to work for our goal. Again we say Thank You. 55 Mack Staff - 4 3 57 1-St- George Kelsey, B. S. General Science, Cgach. Frances Masterson, B. E. At H.C.H.S. 10 years At Shyeairs Wallace Spielman, B. S.

If IGIQ HISTQIQV The senior class of 1955 can now look back at the experiences of the last four years at HCHS with pleasure. First of all we recall the trials and tribulations of our freshman year. Out of eighty-one classmates we elected Bruce Cork as President, Virginia Aylesworth as Vice-President, Jim Shotliif as Secretary, and Don Lowe M Treasurer. It was decided that we would have Miss Thelma Englund as our class sponsor. Like most freshman classes, we lost the magazine contest. Our only activity was a hayride and a weiner roast. With an enrollmen of sixty-eight at the beginning of our sophomore year, we chose Mary Hopkins as our President, Richard Brady as our Vice-President, Linda Carter as our Secretary, and Don Lowe again as our Treasurer. As money-raising projects that year we sold sweat shirts, sponsored a dance, and had a concession. As juniors our dream of graduating was becoming a realityg we were upperclassmen. With this came our main activities. First was the Junior Play, called Love Rides the Rails, a most successful play. Next came the Juni or-Senior Prom with the theme being How Deep Is the Ocean. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at Log Lodge in Rogkford, Other important events included ordering and receiving our rings, having a paper drive, and winning first prize for our Homecoming Hoat. The closing year of our days at Honon egah brought Larry Case as our President, Jim Shotliff as our Vice-President, Barbara Olmstead as our Secretary, and Marilyn Po- panz as our Treasurer. For money-making projects we had the Homecoming dance and Concession, our play, a talent show, noon lunches, proceeds from the milk and candy machines, sold taffy and all-occasion cards. Last, but not least, came our long-awaited senior trip . . . and GRADUATION !! -.161 C ASS WILL Whereas our days as an active class at HCHS are now at an end, we withdraw from par- ticipation in scholastic activities at this institution of learning, and we bequeath certain possessions, titles, and chattles in the order hereinafter provided.

And here we see Duane Ackerman fitting false teeth to Marlene Barber, who had gotten into a quarrel with Clarenoe Dahlberg. The Cork and Hopkins Atomic Super Market, now run by Bruce and Mary, has employed Bill Downey as head cashier and Sally Sprightly as head of the Dog Food Department. Gerald Waugh owns the Rockton ,Herald and employs Linda Carter as a columnist with 'her advice to the Love Lornf Robert Meuret is the sports writer. Arriving at the Macktown Golf Course we come upon Arnie Downs, the proprietor, instructing Kathleen George on how to cut the greens. It is brought to our attention that Ben Hogan's successor, Morris McGonigal, is making his tee-off on runway one with Jim Berens as his caddie. Movi.ng across the highway we find Pete Newell has just taken over Mr. Williamson's position as owner of the Wagon Wheel. He has hired Judy Moore as head waitress and Bruoe Wilcox as head bartender. Other employees are Kent Nelson as Life Guard of the Pool and Geraldine Farage as head cook. We find Reita Kaul and her band, prehaps the last rubber band in existence, made up of Don Allen Playing the shoe horn, Bill Keepers playing the oil drums, and Annie Durdin still playing the field. The star of the Hoor show is Elona Mellon with her famous balloon dance. June Bradbury and Norma Gamer are in the Salvation Army. Just now they occupy the street corner at the Hub, handing out free samples of gum to the high school students. David Dobson is the Successful author of a best seller, How to Get Along With the Opposite Sex. His publishing company is owned by Marilyn Popanz. Richard Brady is now New York's most prominent women's dress designer, assisted by Doris Bolander, his favorite model. Also in New York is Ralph Stein, who is to appear on Liberace's program-to light the candles-while Rose Swenson and Judy Prielipp appear on his program regularly, doing? ? ? Virginia Aylesworth and Frances Fuller are now married to prominent businessmen, and they are now setting the town's record as far as children are concerned. Cornelia Ellis, after completing a complicated course, is now a full-Hedged chimney sweep. Her assistant is Barbara Hohnes, and between the two of them they make a clean sweep. The hermits, Barb Jones and Carolee Davenport, haven't been seen for years. It's said that they went hunting and were caught between two beers-whoop! we mean bears! Pat Kelsey, experienced as a cheerleader, has turned it into quite a career, she's chief barker in Merl Kiser's Flea Circus, earning two dollars a year. Skip Gleasma.n's You Flop and They Drop Mattresses are widely used today, and Larry Case is making a fortune stuffing them with hay. Bruce Dwyer has also made a for- tune in discovering a new fertilizer made with chlorophyl. Jim Shotliff and the former Sandra Whisman have just returned from a delightful honeymoon to Florida where they saw the Miss Universe Contest won by our Donna Larson and Mr. Universe won by our Bruce Wright. They also took in the stock car races where Shirley Stewart-and Joanne Molander displayed their amazing skill at racing. Teaching at our good ol' HCHS are Nancy Nicholls, in the Ag Department, Carol Porterfield, head of the Science Department, Don Lowe teaching the girl's gym classes, and Richard Sager now filling Doc Loomis's position.

Gene Truman was elected President, Bill Porter as Vice President, Jeannine Kocher as Secretary, and Tom Larson as Treasurer. Their sponsor was Miss Marjorie Markgraf. In the spring these freshmen held a class picnic. They had S36 in the treasury at the end of their first year. When the next school year rolled around, Gene Truman was re-elected President, Jeannine Kocher was re-elected Secretary, Tom Larson was re-elected Treasurer, and Bill Upchurch was elected Vice President. Mrs. Harriette Byrne was class sponsor of the sixty-one member class. Money making projects for the year were: two dances, one Concession, and class dues. They won second 'place with their Homecoming float. Of their 8230, S225 was invested in stocks for the Beloit Building and Loan Company. For the junior year the officers were Tom Larson as President, Bill Porter as Vice President, Jeannine Kocher again as Secretary, and David Zeman as Treasurer. There were fifty class members. Money-making projects were: selling autograph books, felt HCHS emblems, school neckties, and snow brushes. Their Hoat for Homecoming won first place, and they also won first place in the Magazine Contest. Papa Was a Preacher, their class play, was a big success. Good luck to a fine class of '56.

In previous seasons Hononegah has had more than her share of luck, but the ball bounced the wrong way this season. The group of seniors on this yearls team were relatively inexperienced and made mistakes as a result. However, they learned some valu- able lessons in cooperation, loyalty, and determi- nation. They played an outstanding game against South Beloit and really deserved to win. These boys became seniors one year too soon. They would really be hard to beat next season. I hope that many of them go on to school and that they have the best of luck in the future. Coach Kelsey l 1 ...s Ends: J. Shotliff, A. Downs, J. Altenberg, J. Hayter Quarter Back: G. Schoonover, B.

Harvard Power' Bl' Kirki d Upchurch, B. an Duarnd Harlem Aquin Comments by Coach Although the basketball sea- son's record was far from im- pressive in the won and lost columns, the individual and team progress for the season was very satisfying. Teams which had de- feated Hononegah by wide mar- gins early in the season were either defeated or given very close games in the latter part of the season. The Jr. Varsity also made excellent progress and had a very fine record. The high point of their season was the de- feat of Harlem in two overtimes, which was Harlem's first loss in the conference in three years. The high point of the Varsity season was a three game winning streak in the latter part of the season. On the Varsity Rich Sager, Jim Shotliff, Don Lowe, Larry Case, Duane Ackerman, and Jim Berens made fine individual pro- gress for the season. Bill Larson, Tom Larson, Bill Porter, Ronnie Harkness, John Altenberg, Bill Upchurch, and Terry Kocher were the individu- al standouts on the Jr. Varsity. The Freshman team showed many excellent prospects and won third place in the So. Beloit invitational tournament by beat- ing line teams from Monroe Center and Rochelle.

It has increased appreciably and is now in full dress uniform. The band presents an annual Christmas and Spring concert and plays for the home football and basketball games. For the past three years it has participated in the district music festival, which this year was held at Harlem. For the past two years the band has participated in the homecoming activities at Northern Illinois State Teachers College. ...-1.0 -K SCHGCDL BAN 5 First Row: L. Anselman, J. Sprightly, J. Kocher, P.

Pictures and cartoons, to name a few improvements, have helped to enliven this year's paper. The fact that the Indian is published in the Rockton Herald spreads the circulation of it to people not directly connected with this school. Our school paper acts as a windowpane through which the local people see modern high school life. This heavy responsibility has been borne well by our present Indian Staff, and they have endeavored to present a representative picture of our school life. Reporters: E. Holmes, L. Dahlgren, K.

The play was di- rected by Mrs Vernon Ghig- lieri. This play was built around the life of a preacher. His six active children are expected to behave as angels. Their slightest enjoyment of life was considered sinful by self-right- ieous Miss Jonas. When the spinster produced photographs of the Porter boys fighting, the preacher almost lost his position. The method by which the family used to counter- attack proved very hilarious. The senior class wishes to congratulate the junior class on the splendid success, of their play.
