To make any play a success it requires the cooperation of the stars, the supporting cast, the stage managers and the stage hands. You have all cooperated beautifully with me for which l am grateful. My wish is that each of you may become a star in Life's great Play. jared T. Lyon, Superintendent Last fall, on September Znd, everything was ready for the grand opening. The stage was set, the players were all made up, the prompters and directors were in their places and last minute instructions had been given. The play john Greer High School, Year i947- 48 was on. From the beginning to the end it was a success. As principal I wish to thank each member of the student body and the faculty for their cooperation in completing a job well done. To the seniors l wish to say congratulations, and may life's stage be filled with success and happi- ness. Sheldon Bross, Principal Ross C.

By selling magazine subscriptions to customers, we raised the money with which we sponsored the annual junior-Senior Prom, a gala event which took place on May l4. Members of the class were nearly all participating in activities of the club organizations, etc. in school. We were especially well represented on the wonderful basketball team of '47- '48 by four juniors on the varsity five. We were also found at the speech and music contests, where we did equally well. Yes, the junior Class has a lot of work under its belt this year. This has been largely due to .the efforts of Russell Cloud, president, Reid Martin, vice-president, Poseanne Freeland, secre- tary-treasurer, and the sponsors, Miss Below and Miss Meers.

At that time they were not too sure of themselves and were more than a little timid about entering the various school activities. They are right in there pitching now and have fairly clear ideas of what they want to do in the future. More power to them. Last fall the sophomores held their annual class party. It was a combination weiner roast and hayride. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself, even though the wagon was almost over- crowded. Strangely enough, no one fell off. The sophomore sponsors are Miss Neathery and Mr. Astroth. The class officers are Kay Freeland and Bill Wilson. 9th row - Olson Castrodale, Carter, Gaddis, Metz, Brooks Sims, Cartwright Davis. f Bthrow-Clem, Whitlow, Ramsey Camp, Clyden, Street. 7th row-Arm- strong, Madison Boughton, Crouch, Vorick. 6th row-Butts Clark, Merritt, Toney, Brown, Compton, Sculf lin. 1 5th row- Evans Gocking, Suddarth Kelnhofer. - 4th row-Riley, Robertson, Mac Mur- ray, Murphy, Crumley, Sinclair, Owensby Pruitt. f 3rd row-Potts, Shinneman, Moore Collins, Ingram, L, Carter, McVicker. 2nd row - Linn, Bridges, Hedgecock, Cawthon, R.

A hard fighting john Greer team, captained by fullback Gene Meyers, compiled a season's record of 7 wins and 2 losses. Coach Astroth used nine returning lettermen as a nucleus for the team that outscored their opponents l7l to lOO, for the total season, john Greer showed excellent offense averaging l9 points per game, while their defense held the opposition to l l per game. SO passes were attempted with 20 being completed, for a net of 349 yards and 5 touchdowns. Although Neathery and Meyers provided most of the scoring punch, without the coopera- tion of every man on the team, the season would have been a failure. A lot is owed to the boys, who put in a lot of time and hard work in order to bring john Greer another winning season. Extra credit goes to l-lerb Neathery who scored 87 points and averaged 8.8 yards each time he carried the ball, and to Gene Meyers who scored 54 points and carried the ball for an aver- age of 6.3 yards. Both were awarded scholarships to the University of Illinois for their out- standing play. Neathery was also voted the most valuable player award. Climaxing a successful season, Ray Eliot, head football coach at the University of Illinois, spoke at the annual Lions Club football banquet and Coach Astroth distributed Z5 football letters to those earning them. Three games were played by the second team, coached by Mr. Campbell, with Hoopeston winning Z and losing l.

One of the most important proiects was the establishment of the student lounge. The council redecorated an unused room in the old building. lt secured couches, covered chairs, a phonograph, and a ping-pong table. The room proved to be the center of attraction around school. Other accomplishments were the purchase of new aide jackets, acquisition of coke and candy machines, and the installation of a public address system. Every Tuesday morning the group met and discussed impqrtant school mat- ters. lt established rules of conduct and enforced them. lt hired professional performers to entertain the students. ln january the members were divided into groups of six. Each group visited another high school in this vicinity. The officers for the year were: mayor, Dick McFarland, clerk, Dolores Gustine, treasurer, Marilyn Griner, magistrate, Russell Cloud, sponsors, Mr. Wolfe and Miss Taylor.

THE PICAYUNE Drivers Training made its debut at john Greer this year. This training which is sponsored by the Chicago Motor Club and the American Auto Association is something new all over the country and john Greer is among the first schools in the state to add it to their curriculum. The course requires a semester's work and a half credit is given for satis- factory completion. Glenn Brasel, instructor of the course, had special training before he was allowed to teach the students. A new Chevrolet was furnished by the sponsors as a training car for the course. Sixteen students enrolled each semester and they are all agreed that this is one of the most practical courses a high school could offer. CSNXC9 The Industrial Arts Club was organized for the first time at john Greer in l947. Membership is open to all students enrolled in any industrial subject. The activities of the club are related to the acquisition of industrial information by means of movies, talks by men from the industrial plants in the city, and visits to the local factories. Nearly all of the boys who take mechanical drawing, shop, and manual training belong to the club since they can profit by seeing and hearing about the industries in which they will probably work in later years. Since this club was just formed last year, it has just got a good start, but will expand in future years, The officers of the club are Lloyd Powers, president, Gene Myers, vice- president, Bob Merritt, secretary, and the Sponsor is Mr. Kramer. UIQ CHIT CHAT is the official grapevine system of john Greer. lt contains all the delicious bits of gossip, amateur writing and adapted stories that the staff can scrape to- gether. Each issue has an attractive cover drawn by a member of the staff. Selected boys and girls of the week appear in every copy. Included this year is an added attraction, the life story of a band leader or other famous person. The entire work of publication is done by the staff during spare time. Stories must be typed, stenciled, mimeographed, sorted and then stapled, For the first semester Marilyn Griner was editor. ln the second semester, Pauline Coop took over the reins.

These 27 wins included l9 scheduled games, the Christmas tournament and the county tournament. The john Greer team not only became county champions, but also won the Vermilion County conference champion- ship. This year's team received state-wide rec- ognition by several Chicago Tribune and Daily News writeups and being rated among the top l5 by the United Press. Four returning lettermen from last year's team and Coleman from Georgetown, consti- tuted Coach Astroth's first five. The quintet, composed of Captain Herb Neathery and Cloud as the high scoring forewards, Coleman as a sharpshooting center, and Martin and Trimble as the great guard combination, were threat- Tm-: Prczwunr: 3rd Row-Linn, G.

The seven substitutes proved themselves able to hold their own, upon substitution in most of the games. The john Greer team surpassed last year's record in several ways. First of all comes this year's undefeated record, more points were scored this year, the county tournament was won, and also the ability that won them a berth among the top l5 teams of the state, as re- corded by the United Press. john Greer won the Regional Tourney and defeated Onarga Military before suffering the only loss of the season, to Champaign, in Sec- tional play. Coach Campbell's reserves compiled 9 wins and 8 losses. The reserves were played liberally, with all of the squad seeing action.

THE PICAYUNE had a definite goal for the year. Someone suggested having a scholarship. The society liked the idea. lt began raising funds immediately. lt sold Cornjerker pencils. At the games it hawked hats in school colors. ln October the group sponsored a colorful masquerade ball. Through these activities it raised enough money for a SIOO scholarship. Questionnaires were sent to all last year's members. From these information for the scrapbook concerning present occupations and future plans of the old members was gathered. Each spring the organization sponsors a spelling bee. Every student in school is free to participate. A prize is given to the winner. Also, his name is engraved on a silver cup which is kept at school. jane Littick was this year's champion. There are thirteen members of the Honor Society this year. The officers are: president, Dow Cooksey, vice-president, lean Olson, treasurer, Peggy Musk, historian, Pauline Hixson, secretary, lane Littick, sponsor, Miss Sanders.

PAGE 32 THE PICAYUNE AIDES are a volunteer group from the student body. There are four Aide captains, one junior boy, one junior girl, a senior bcy, and a senior girl. Twenty to thirty aides are chosen and assigned special duties, which consist of: getting to the games 45 minutes before time to open up the gym, and get it ready for the crowd, taking tickets, giving out programs, stamping people so they won't have to pay twice, trying to keep order, if a fight happens to start, and the job Esn't finished when the game is over. There is usually a large crowd that has to be controlled and please keep off the floor, is a familiar saying among the aides. Many enemies are made, but the aides are faithful to their job. After the crowd has cleared out, again the aides go to work. They scurry around the bleachers picking up all pop bottles, until the last one is out of sight. QXE CONCESSIONS is merely a dignified name for the cheerful group of girls who see that you are well supplied with candy, popcorn, or pop at all of the football and basket- ball games. What'll it be, sir? Popcorn? Coming right up. That'll be ten cents, please. Thank you, are forever issuing from the concessions stand during a game. Those girls are certainly kept busy and they really do their jobs well. Mrs. Feller is the sponsor of concessions and Peggy Musk is general chair- man. There were several girls who carried candy and popcorn to the crowds. Hats off to them, too. Remember, the next time that you buy a candy bar, bottle of pop, or sack of popcorn at a game, that the girls on concessions went to a great deal of work to see that you got it. QJQ G. A. A. started off the year as guests of Danville's Play Day. Our group is planning to be host to a Play Day in the spring. lt is also planned to hold an overnight outing in the gym. Three girls will receive State Awards this year for earning ZOOO points. They are 1. Littick, D. Gustine, and P. Hixson. Eight other girls are eligible for Local Awards. Bowling takes place two nights every week. League l consisting of four Senior bowlers have won mcst of the games. P. Hixson leads with the highest average. Officers for the year were P. Hixson, president, A. Wood, vice-president, and M. Goold, secretary and treasurer.

PAGE 34 THE P1cAYUNr: The Spanish Club sponsored by Miss Below, is one of the largest clubs at john Greer, with approximately fifty-five members. The purpose of this organization is to help familiarize the students with customs of those living in Spain, South America and Mexico. Anyone who is enrolled in, or has already had Spanish, may be a member of this club. The membership has been increasing each year. At each of their meetings this year, the club has chosen a custom of some Spanish-speaking country as the theme for their meeting. Several movies about the different countries have also been shown. The officers for the club this year were: Milton Linn, president, Bill Thomas, vice-president, lane Littick, secretary, Carol Crouch, treasurer, Dick McFarland, social chairman, Pauline Hixson, parliamentarian. 5 Na. X THE LETTERMEN'S CLUB . . . elected as their officers, Bob Saffell, president, Reid Martin, vice- president, Ray Siville, secretary-treasurer, and Coach Astroth and Mr, Brasel as sponsors. This year the club obtained the money to finish the project that was started in l945, that a plaque honoring Hoopeston's war dead. The plaque was installed in the northeast part of the gymnasium and was dedicated between halves of one of john Greer's home games. Also, this year, the club achieved another distinction that they felt was their due. Blue and white lettermen caps were ordered and paid for by the club and Athletic Association. Now everyone knows that they won their let- ters, because only members of the Lettermen's Club can obtain a cap.

Bill Thomas found it hard to concentrate on his novel writing with Ellaretta Pierce and Hermit Street popping in and out of the action in George M. Cohan's melodramatic thriller, Seven Keys to Baldpate. ln the winter, Oscar Wilde's classic comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest was presented. Both Bill Thomas and Chuck Boughton found how important it is to have the right Christian name to get the right girls, in this case, Mitzi Miller and Roseanne Freeland. Finally, in the spring, the Thespians discovered the diffIculties encountered when one engages in writing letters to people one has never seen before in Norman Krasna's Dear Ruth. Speech contests and many appearances before organizations found the Thespians in action. For the first time, john Greer was among the top twelve schools at the state Dramatic Festival. Officers were: President, jerry Echard, vice-president, Roy Powley, treas- urer, Herb Neathery, parliamentarian, Dick McFarland, scrap-bcok keeper, Chuck Boughton, secretary, Alice Wood. STKE Book Club was open to every book-lover this year. Formerly, membership has been gen- erally restricted to sophomores. The Club had monthly activity period meetings. At each meeting a new book was reviewed by one member, and discussed by the others. Last fall the group had a hayride and weiner roast that proved very suc- cessful. At Christmas, Bill Bradham entertained the organization at the Craig- Cunningham Hotel. Other night meetings were held at the Crumley home and in the student lounge. One of the accomplishments of the Book Club was the organization of the student librarian system. Each period, a club member was in the library and was responsible for checking books out. This left the assembly teacher free to watch students and grade papers. Officers for the year were: president, Don Trimble, vice-president, Charles Adkins, secretary-treasurer, Kay Freeland, social chairman, George Dunlap, sponsor, Miss Meers. Q18 F. H. A. under the leadership of their sponsors Miss Bratt and Mrs. Feller, had a very interesting and successful year. For the purpose of raising money, the club operated a hat-check at the bas- ketball games and sponsored a Harvest Stock Dance, in the gym. At Christmas time, they filled baskets and sent them to the needy families. They entertained the mothers in january, the fathers in March, and the eighth grade girls in April. The first part of the year, they had a chili supper and a formal initiation for all new members. Everything was run efficiently under the direction of the following officers, M. Goold, president, l. Galloway, vice-president, secretary, B. Daniels, treas- urer, P. Bridges, reporter, L. Linn, and historian, l, Peers. PAGE 37 Baseball and Track Spring E L - P 38 T P Tm: Stee-rikel For the first time since the early l9ZO's this call was heard by a john Greer baseball team. A large number of prospects, for a first year sport, reported to coach Astroth. Fifteen, includ- ing two managers, received letters. The baseball team also had a winning season, winning six and losing five. The team entered the district finals, but was eliminated by Cissna Park. Those receiving baseball letters were: Bill Henk, Bob Merritt, Herb Neathery, Reid Martin, Bob Vorick, Don Trimble, Charles Hopkins, Russell Cloud, Bill Samaras, Gene Meyers, Dick Arnold, jack Neathery, Howard Sheffield and managers Charles Adkins and George Dunlap. The team played considerably good ball with both the infield and outfield being handled well. Pitchers Martin and Samaras, handled ably by the Catchers Merritt and Neathery, showed the makings of fine pitchers. The john Greer team proved they were equally as good at bat, with Neathery, Meyers, and Trimble leading the attack. john Greer was also well represented in track meets, including the Urbana Relay, Vermilion County Track and Field Meet at Georgetown, and the District Track meet at Monticello. All the boys participating in these two sports were quite grateful to the two hard working managers, C. Adkins and G. Dunlap. Chasing foul balls, keeping track of equipment and numerous other jobs were the order of the day for these boys, who earned the john Greer, blue and white letter for their efforts.

PAGE 40 Tm: PxcAYUN1: THE PICAYUNE THE BAND under the direction of Mr. lensen, has certainly done some fine work this year. Those long hours they spent marching every morning last fall weren't spent in vain because they copped first place in the Band Marching Contest at Bloom- ington. They have also given some very fine performances at the Football ancl Basketball games. Some of those games might have been pretty dull if it weren't for the Band playing at half time and between the games. We can't forget the wonderful job the twirlers have done this year. Led by Shirley Daugherty, who won a first and second place in the twirling contest, they have really put some color and life into the appearance of the Band. The officers of the Band this year are joanne Cline, president, Bill Thomas, vice-president and Harold Ray, secretary, who have done an excellent job of getting the new awards for the band. QNX? CHORAL CLUB furnishes much of the entertainment for john Greer: They are under the leadership of Miss l-lix. ln the fall they sang at the District P.T.A. meeting. Every year they partici- pate in the music contest as contestants in both the solo and the choral groups. The girls quartet consists of M. Campbell, first soprano, M, Tucker, second soprano, D. Crumley, first alto, and L. Sherrill, second alto, The boys quartet consists of l. Elliott, first tenor, E. Clark, second tenor, R. McNeil, first bass, and B. Gatrell, second bass. Both groups have been very successful with their singing for various clubs, and for the assembly programs at john Greer. l QJVD DANCE ORCHESTRA who furnished the music for this year of dancing at 1. G. Remember this,- Sweet or hot, that's what we've got ?. lf you don't, you should! Those are the magic words that have kept us dancing for several years and will for many more. l.et's look behind this haze of magic: Oh! that sweet tone must be the Aladdins who rub the magic saxophones. There's VooDoo in the brass section. Who Do? Why, the way those two slip horns and trumpets work, would make even Houdine look slow and out of time, there must be a Genii here some place-Oh yes, that's the piano player who aids the drummer with that mystic rhythm. Who is the power that controls this magic. Why, that's Mr. jensen, our Band Director, who says the magic words- Onel Two! Threel Four?

CSNXXQ The Business Staff of the Picayune is a vital organization. its purpose is to keep the cost of each yearbook within the students' reach. This was accomplished by various meth- ods, under the guidance of Mr. Whitehouse, sponsor. It sold a large number of advertisements to Hoopeston stores. This was the chief source of income. ln February, it sponsored a movie at the local theater. From this a small profit was realized. The Annual Donkey Basketball game was held in the spring. Through these activities, the price each student had to pay for the year- book was less than 3090 of the actual cost. Cards were mailed to the i947 graduates, telling them how they could get copies of the yearbook. Several graduates responded. The staff is divided into two groups, loan Williams is chairman of the finance committee. The sales committee is headed by Pauline Coop. STKE The Spotlight can be congratulated for being a wonderfully organized group this year. Each week the newsy Spotlight appears in the Hoopeston Chronicle Herald. This group has toured the newspaper office and has heard Editor l-lud Robbins tell about newspaper work. Weekly meetings take place during the twenty-minute period. At these meetings reviews from the book Modern News Reporting by Carl Warren are given. Also movies have been shown to the group. Editor-in-chief, lane Littick, Feature editor, Helen Hess, and News editor, Paul Bishop are to be thanked for their work as well as the reporters and their sponsor, Miss Meers.
