We began our four year adventure in the fall of '40 with 124 in the freshman class. Miss Taylor. Mr. Barnhart, and Mr. Hoover served as our homeroom teachers. We elected Roy Watkins, president; Jim German, vice-president; Diane Hammond, secretary-treasurer. We will never forget our freshman party and the fun we had. As sophomores we elected Roy Watkins, president; Bob Cawthon. vice-president; and Jo Retry, secretary-treasurer. That year we cele- brated with a big havride. Miss Winland and Mr. Hoover were our sponsors. Our junior year was a big one and one to be remembered. We accomplished a lot that year especially carrying through what we thought was a very clever and successful Junior- Senior Prom— On an Island With You.” In order to successfully carry out our prom plans, we sold magazines and hose. (We made our goal and then some!) Also that year we were the first class to receive our class rings at the beginning of the school year. Were we proud! With Roy Watkins as president: Jo Petry, vice-president: Bette Gatrell. secretary-treas- urer; and Mr. and Mrs. Edwards as class spon- sors. we had a wonderful time. Then suddenly we were Dignified Seniors.” We waited for a long time and yet it seems like only yesterday we were just scared little fresh- men. We again elected Roy atkins as presi- dent; Larry Davis. Vice-President; and Jo Petry. secretary-treasurer. We s| onsored the senior faculty ball game and the box social. We might add that since we were fresh- men we had the highest number of students representing our class on the honor roll all four years. We also won first place with the prize- winning float.

Junior Class In the early part of September, the Junior Class had their first meeting in which we elected our class officers and class sponsors. For our sponsors we elected Miss Taylor and Mr. Williams. Sonnie Unger was elected president. Joan Shoemaker-—vice president, and Jim Long —secretary-treasurer. Our first big step was to earn money for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. We started to- ward this goal by selling magazines. The class was divided into two parts—the red and green. Karen Martin headed the green team and Hill Welty headed the red team. We also decided to have the losing team give the winning team a party. After all the tabulations were in we had sold $2,017. On December 16. 1952, we had our class party which was given to the red team by the green team which was the loser. The party was a great success. In February, 1953, we elected our class committees for the prom. The people chosen for chairmen were; Shirley Kaufman—deco- rations; Joyce Curry—punch; Carol Metz— banquet; Donna Miller—king and queen; Al- mira Beagle—waiters and waitress; Jerry Mc- Intyre—lights; and Jim Long—program. Our theme for the prom was Rhapsody in Blue and our orchestra was Lu George. The class representatives in the Student Council were Sonnie Unger, Joan Shoemaker, Carol Metz, Jim Long. Ronnie Sprague, and Bill Welty. Sonnie Unger was President of the Champaign District Student Council. The Juniors have done a swell job and we hope that they will do even better in their new roles as Seniors. WEBKIUS DRUG STORK KINGS’ PHARMACY WORTHEN’S DRY GOODS CO.

Sophomore Class This year the sophomore class, sixty-eight strong, has learned more about high school life and about what type of subjects they like best. At our first meeting of the year, we elected our sponsors. Mr. Allen and Miss Florey. Our officers this year were; president, Phyllis Jen- nett; vice-president. Kenneth Hammond; and secretary-treasurer. Mary Susan Boardman. This year we tried something new. On the afternoon of the homecoming each class was represented in the homecoming parade by a float. The sophomore class received second prize of $2.50 which helped pay for our Christ- mas decorations. At Christmas time we and the freshmen went together to decorate the old building. The decorations were very attractive. Our homecoming attendant to the queen was Kay Hoskins. The candidates for king and queen of the Valentine Dance were Jim Crouch and Lcla Mathews. Many sophomores partici- pated in sports, dramatics, and other clubs. Kenny Whiteman. Al Harmeson. Betsy Welty. Florenee Craw- Mary Inman. Joan Brewington. Danny Lawson. David Roark, font.

The Freshman Class The freshman class of one hundred eight students took its first step toward a high school diploma by organizing. Joe Lockhart was elect- ed as president; Mary Lou Rector as vice- president: Leon Probasco as secretary-treasurer; M iss Winland and Mr. Hoover as sponsors. Entering the swing of things right away, we took another step by electing Betty Stifle as candidate for Homecoming Queen Attendant, and built a float to enter in the Homecoming Parade. The Student Council members representing the freshman class were Dorene Kaufman, Shirley Ray, Jack Olson, and Mike Curry. At Christmas, we helped the sophomores decorate the old building with colorful paper chains and hundreds of Christmas cards. Within a couple of weeks after he arrived at John Greer High. Rill Dowling was elected our candidate for the Sweetheart King and our candidate for Sweetheart Queen was Margaret Long. With the coming of spring, we put on our best behavior, in hopes that some nice junior or senior would invite us to the prom! Don Whiteman, George Fowler. Dale Tweedy, Dotty Street, Bill Dowling.

Picayune Editorial Staff The Picayune Editorial Staff has worked very hard together with the Photography Staff and the Business Staff to make this year’s Picayune a success. Mr. Baird, sponsor of the yearbook, along with Natalie White as editor-in-chief have worked with the rest of the staff to get the book finished on time. After all the stories were written and all the pictures taken came the task of putting the book together. It was a big job but the staff enjoyed doing the work. All the members of the staff hope you the readers will enjoy the book. Picayune Business Staff Mr. Whitehouse has again led his Picayune Business Staff' to victory. The staff has success- fully provided the capital necessary for the printing of the 1958 Picayune. Each year ad- vertisements are sold to the merchants of Hoopeston which helps us sell the Picayune for a much lower price than would be possible if we had to rely exclusively on the sales of the book. Picayune Photography Staff The Picayune Photography Staff is a very important link in the chain of work in getting the Picayune ready. Under Mr. James Hoover’s direction the Picayune Photography Staff with the help of the Camera Club has taken, developed, and printed pictures. Most of the pictures in the Picayune were taken by this staff. The members this year were George Wil- son. Pat Roark. John Huber, Kay Hoskins, and Suzy Mills.

Student Librarians Have you had trouble finding a book up in and collect fines on over due books. They put the library? If so. just ask a student librarian all books back on the shelves in correct order where to look. They can help you look up for easy location. Miss Florey is in charge of reference work of all kinds. The student librari- the student librarians, ans also check books and magazines in and out Spanish. Club The Spanish Club is certainly one of the most interesting clubs here at John Greer. The purpose of this club is to explain and better understand the customs of Spanish-speaking countries and anyone who has taken or is taking Spanish may become a member. The officers for this year were: Joy Pritch- ett. president: Ginger Olson, secretary; and Almira Beagle, treasurer. Miss Below was the Student Through the leadership of Mayor Roy Watkins the Student Council reached new heights this year. Starting the school year off on the right foot, the organization sponsored the annual Homecoming. The assembly program and snake dance drew exceptionally large crowds as did the newest Homecoming feature, the parade. Theme for the dance following the game was “Indian Summer.” The council was also verv proud of Sonnie Unger, who was elected president of the Cham- paign district at the convention held at Homer in November. As president. Sonnie became the first J. G. student ever to attend the National Convention held during the summer in Port- land. Oregon. Probably the biggest project undertaken by the council this year was Policeman Day in February. On this day the members were given sponsor. On October 3 the Spanish Club sponsored a “sock” dance after the Westville Game, and on October 13 they had a Mexican supper, com- plete with tamales, tortillas, and beans! Then in January they had their Christmas party be- cause the Spanish celebrate Christmas on Janu- ary (i. And in April the members of the Spanish Club observed Pan-American day. Council oermission to fine townspeople for such viola- tions as jaywalking and driving dirty cars. The drive proved successful and netted almost $170. This money was put to good use in the redeco- ration of the student lounge. A juke box and furniture were purchased and the room was brightened by the rose and gray walls and ceiling. Two other projects successfully completed were the student directories for the faculty and Eighth Grade Guidance Day in May. Delegates to the state convention held in Chicago in April were Karen Martin, Bill Weltv, Sonnie Unger as district president, and Jo Petry as a discussion group leader. Sponsors for the Student Council were Miss Below and Mr. Kramer who should be com- mended for their “work behind the scenes.” Other officers were Sonnie Unger, lieutenant mayor; Jo Petry, secretary; and Ruth Ingram, treasurer.

Hot dogs and hot coffee feel pretty good after sitting through a half at a football game. Then there is always candy, popcorn, and pop too. The concession workers are students who volunteered their services even though they missed seeing some of the games. This year the sponsors were Mrs. Dostal, Mr. Baird, and Mr. Wilson. Aides The Aides is an organization that we of John Greer could not get along without. You may ask who makes the most enemies at the games, the referee or the Aides. Anyone wear- ing the blue jackets would probably say. the Aides. By saying such simple words as, “Off the floor please”, they have made enemies. They also make many friends by showing out-of-town people where to go and by telling the score of the game to the people who telephone. The Aides not only keep the people in line but they also clean up after the games. Some of the Aides take tickets at the door, others hand out pro- grams, and still others stamp people going out for concessions. The Aides are volunteers from the student body under the direction of Mr. Bross. Camera Club This year the Camera Club, under Mr. Hoover’s direction took, developed, and printed many fine pictures. The members really worked hard to make the club a worthwhile one. They took pictures at the school dances and other functions to sell to the students. The club’s president was John Huber; vice p r e s i d e n t, George Wilson; and secretary- treasurer. Kay Hoskins. The Camera Club’s members have learned the processes from loading the film in the film holders to drying the finished print. They have had much time to practice taking, developing, and printing pictures. For the second year the Camera Club has taken most of the pictures for the Picayune. This year the Camera Club has been using a new multiple flash unit to help lower the cost of taking pictures. They also have a new de- veloping tank, five new film holders, and one new easel.

The F.H.A. has had a successful year under the leadership of Marjorie Lyons, president; Vivian Tyrell. vice president; Shirley Kaufman, secretary; Rosie Garner, treasurer; and our chapter adviser, Miss Mayme Hiatt, assisted by Mrs. Dorothy Dostal; and chapter mother, Mrs. Claire Lyons. The chapter's meetings are one activity period and one night a month. The year’s theme was Get on the F.H.A. Bandwagon.” The chapter honored Shirley Kaufman, I) o r e n e Kaufman, Feggv Blakey, Diane Hagie, Donna Clyden, Joy Carswell, and Joan Shoemaker for earning F.H.A. Junior Homemaking Degrees. Money making schemes were a hat-coat check at the basketball games and a Valentine Dance in February. Honor During an impressive candlelight ceremony last vear’s members. Bob Cawthon. Hoy Wat- kins, Jo Petry, and Marylyn Brickey, initiated three juniors and eight seniors to form the 19.52- ,5.‘5 Honor Society. The new members, chosen for their scholarship, service, leadership, and character, were Joan Shoemaker, Sonne Unger. Bill W'elty. Jo Anne Boren. Arlene Bush. Bob Cowan. Judy Cram. Jim German. Art Murray, Janice McBride, and Diane Tranbarger. Each year this organization gives a $100 Rifle Being a chartered club, and affiliated with the National Rifle Association, the John Greer Junior Rifle Club joins with thousands of others in the hope to produce better marksmen in During National F.H.A. Week in Novem- ber, Joan Shoemaker was crowned the outstand- ing F.H.A. member. A coke party in the school lounge was held in her honor. Other activities were, a masquerade party at Shirley Kaufman’s home in October; an F.H.A. party at Bismarck High School; a Thanksgiving basket for a needy family; carol- ing followed by a gift exchange at Mrs. Dostal s apartment; a sack lunch, “party” at which the school trophy case was cleaned; assembling an F.H.A. publicity book for the year, a “Come as You Are” Fudge Party in April; an F.H.A. rally at Ridgefarm in the spring; and a Father. Moth- er. and Daughter Family Relationship Program in May highlighted by installation service of officers, conferring degrees, and honoring six F.H.A. seniors. Society scholarship and money was raised for this by selling pencils with the J. G. basketball schedule on them, and through the annual Halloween masquerade and the square dance presented in March. The spelling bee, also held in March, was won by one of the members, Marylyn Brickey. Miss Taylor again served as sponsor. Offi- cers were: Bob Cawthon. president; Roy Wat- kins, vice-president; Jo Petry, secretary: and Marylyn Brickey, treasurer.

Band has turned in another colorful year. Under Lex Samaras we marched in the Sweet- corn Parade. Mr. Windsor arrived in time to take us to Normal for their Homecoming. The band followed the queens in our own big Home- coming Parade. We were always on hand at the ball games playing a snappy march or lively tune adding some pep to the crowd and the team. Many band members went to Charleston March 11 for solo and ensemble contest and did a fine job. On April 11 the entire band made the journey again for Band contest. Band offi- cers were elected at the beginning of the year. Art Murray—President, Sonnie Unger—Vice- President. Bette Gatrell—Secretary. Jay Mitch- ell and Jerry McIntyre—Librarians. When Bette left Marylyn Brickev was elected to take over. It has been a lot of work for the band and Mr. Windsor, but it has also been a lot of fun. Orchestra The orchestra, or the Royal Rhythm Kings, as they call themselves, have enjoyed their most active year out of the past five years. Almost every student heard them at one time or an- other as they played for many engagements; among which were the Valentine Dance, talent show, and the Saturday night fun-for-all dances. One of their attractions was the drums, as if you could miss them. The entire group was composed of music students who enjoy playing popular music. And if you don t think it was fun, just ask any member. T wirlers Cold or warm, these majorettes marched at the football games, in their blue and white uni- forms. Marcia Potts was drum majorette this year giving all the signals, and behind her were. Mary Lou Rector, Betsy Weltv. Shirley Ray, and Kay Hoskins. The first three majorettes mentioned took an ensemble to contest and received a second place. All this may not look like hard work, but you just try marching up and down the football field and you'll see. During the half time at the basketball games these girls performed their routines. Marcia is the only graduating senior but we hope to see all the others back next year. SILVER BROTHERS HAMILTON FUNERAL HOME YARBROUGH NASH SALES G. A. A. 1st Row: Martin. Miss Wiuland. Petrv, I).
