' To you, Miss Piper, we give our thanks for your patience with us in VVorld History and Geometry Classes. To you, Mr. Beck, we give our thanks for the stories of basketball games told in Geography Class and during English. y To you, Mr. Brink, we give our appreciation for your guidance along the paths of music. ' . To the oncoming Freshmen, we leave some of the beams from our radiant faces in order to brighten up the school. In addition to the above, we wish to make the following individual bequests: I, Robert Brink, bequeath mfy ability to blow and blare a trombone to Leroy Greiman and Marvin Kasten. Now that I am leaving, I can safely reveal to Leroy that I didn't really swallow the thing. I, Norma Stahmer, leave my quiet disposition to those noisy Freshmen. I, Marvin I-Iaake, bequeath my knack for getting high grades in English and Geometry to some one who won't let me down and spoil my reputation. I, LaVerne Michael, leave some fbut not allj of the redness in my hair to Virgil Krueger. , V I, Keith Klosterman, leave some of my mischievousness to Hilbert Brinkmann. I, Marie Unverfehrt, leave my abilities for singing lullabies to Helen Edith Hines. ' I, Roger Brinkmann, would just like to leave. I, Dorothy Hongsermeier, bequeath my willowy figure to Jacquelin Nebe. We, the above mentioned class, being of sound f?j mind, do leave this last will and testament to our school. Although we are leaving now to enter other schools, we always will retain our pleasant memories of this, our Alma Mater. K. Klostermann R. Brinkmann Prophecy of the Class of 1947 Becoming curious about the future of the Class of '47, I consulted my crystal ball and was amazed to find that that gay person, Marvin Haake, had become a minister in a Lutheran Church at Covington. Dorothy Hongsermeier, another classmate, was soon located in Hollywood where she had replaced Betty Grable as the number one pin-up girl. As the clouds in the ball again lifted, I saw Robert Brinkmann, the wealthy owner of an Angora goat ranch in Colorado. He was developing a series of Wigs for cold poodles from mohair. The capital of our country next appeared in the crystal, and I almost fell out of my turban when I saw that class room orator, LaVerne Michael, as the first red-headed President of the United States. She was attributing her great success to the training she had obtained in our English classes. The next classmate to appear through the clouds was Robert Brink. He was operating a combination taxi and milk route between Irvington and Hoyleton. Because he used a helicopter for his deliveries, he was known as the Swirling Milkmanf' I wasnit surprised when the next classmate appeared. Marie Unverfehrt had always been a good member of the Big Three Conference in school, and it was only natural that President Michael appoint her as delegate to the United Nations Assembly. However, I almost dropped my magic carpet when I saw Keith Klosterman emerge from the shadows as the head coach at Notre Dame. It seems that a rich industrialist, Norma Stahmer, who had made her fortune in the manufacturing of shoes, had used her influence to get him placed. Before I could learn all the details, the crystal clouded and went on strike. It wouldn't work overtime without double pay. Signed, Swami Brink UN DERGRADUATES HND ACTIVITIES , -fi-fg. .

This year's team had plenty of ability and spirit, but lacked heighth. As a result we finished with a record of eight wins and fourteen losses. However, we did finish second in the Washington County Tournament and thus were able to add one more trophy to our collection. At the beginning of the season, we became members of the Big Six Confer- ence. This included teams such as Sandoval, Patoka, Young, Central City, Odin, Ashley, and Wamac. We finished our conference schedule with a record of two wins and six defeats, and were defeated 29-10 by Odin in the first game of the conference tournament. Our next tournament was the Southern Illinois junior High School Athletic Association District which was held at Nashville. Freeburg defeated us here in our first game by a score of 25-21 as we missed 11 out of 12 free throws. Then in our last tournament, we defeated Irvington 38-22 and New Minden 38-27 to advance to the finals. Nashville had beaten Ashley and Okawvilleto win the other final berth. Okawville defeated New Minden for third place, and Nashville, our old rivals, overwhelmed us 43-18 for the title. Letter winner this year were Virgil WVehking, Billy Christian, Kent Nierman, john Hines, Walter Hongsermeier, Roger Hake, Maurice Garnholz,' Billy VVesterfield, and Ervin Chesney. Virgil Wehking was the team captain and the high scorer for the season. Second high scorer was Billy Christian who was ' ' ' ' d t Huck followed closely by Kent Nierman in third. Shirley Klosterman an Jane received letters for cheerleaders. SEASON'S RECORD Hoyleton ...... 43 Irvington . . . Hoyleton .... 22 Sandoval . . . Hoyleton . . 17 Ashley .... .

OIL BELT CONFERENCE Our school has become a member of a new conference called THE OIL BELT CONFERENCE. Other member schools are Irvington, Young, Shanna- felt, Antioch, Iuka Vernon and Alma. It is the intention of this conference to sponsor competition in softball, basketball, and track. p The conference track meet will be held at Young School on May 9, 1947. We hope to bring home a trophy-preferably the championship one. The season of 1947-48 will see us competing in all three sports in this conference. CROSS COUNTRY TRACK I Cross country running was taken up for the first time this year by the high school. Robert Brink, Roger Brinkmann, Marvin Haake, Hilbert Brink- mann, Leroy Greiman, and Carl Rommelmann made up our team. After train- ing all fall, we went to the district meet at Belleville on Novmber 9th. It was a cold, rainy day, but the meet was held ,at Oakridge Golf Course. East St. Louis won the team title and the chance to compete in the State meet. - VVe finished fifth ahead of Mascoutah. It was lots of fun, but two miles is a long ways. f if 6 , 'I ' Q i 1511911 Uzhking Billy fhrkfrhn N ,, Grade .frhool liaskefball Lam V ww- - 1947 , 5, rf' 1 I f ' .

Norma Stahmer Vice-President ......... ..... H elen. Hines Secretary - Treasurer . . . . . Carlene Neuhaus' Librarian ............. ....... R obert Brink Reporter ............................ Marie Unverfehrt The first public appearance of this year's band was at the annual Open House observance of American Education' Week. Its next public appearance was at the pie and box supper held for the benefit of the Hoyletonian for 1947. During basketball season, the band played for several games, and played for the first night and the finals of the county tournament which was held here. Last year on April 6, the band was entered in the state district contest which was held at Highland. Due to our small enrollment, we were placed in Class D where we recieved a third rating. The numbers played at the contest were Blue Eagle . a march, Poem . :1 tone poem, and King Kohrah , an overture. This year's band will be unable to enter the state contests because the instrumentation is not great enough. Six days later, on April 12, a bus was chartered to take the band and chorus members to Ashley for the Washington County Music Festival. After an afternoon of practice under the various band and chorus directors of the county, a program featuring the individual bands and choruses as well as a massed band and a massed chorus was presented to a large audience. T his year, the annual music festival will be held at the Okawville High School on April 25. The band of 1945-46 held weekly concerts all during the summer until they were discontinued in August due to cold weather. 1 The chorus for 1946-1947 was also organized in September. Mrs. Muriel Brink is the chorus director. The chorus has sung for several occasions this year including several selections at the Open House, a 15 minute program at the fall Teachers Institute at Nashville, and the operetta. Last year's chorus was entered in the state district contest under the dir- ection of Miss Virginia Cain. Competing in Class D. we recieved a second rating and a certificate of award. The last event for this year's group will be graduation. VVe are going to sing several numbers that night, but we are not going to enter the state contests.
