Ten members of our freshmen class started our first year at Illiopolis Grade School in 1938. Our first few weeks as freshmen were a definite mix-up, getting acquainted with all our new classmates etc. Then after settling ourselves down ,we voted the following officers, Jack Morris, President, Rodney Roberts, Vice President, and Doris Green, Sec- retary-Treasurer. By our second semester we were practically old timers. Most of our class participated in some school activity. Delmar Hohenstein, Tom Loose, Glenn Zirkle, Harbert Clendenen, Robert Etter and Jack Morris were out for sports. Doris Green was one of the cheerleaders. Glenn Zirkle and Doris Green were our candidates for Halloween King and Queen. Our first year was very interesting and eventful. Our second year the class was progressing rapidly under the leadership of Rodney Roberts, President, Tom Loose, Vice President, and Cora Munson, Secretary-Treasurer. Our class continued to take part in activities, our boys taking an important part in sports..' As for the girls Alice Meister and Doris Green were cheerleaders, Betty Welch and Harbert Clendenen were candidates for King and Queen. By this time our class showed promising talent. Now our third year. Gee!!! Upper Classmen!! We chose as officers: Harbert Clendenen, President, Delmar Hohenstein, Vice President, Betty Welch, Secretary, and Doris Green, Treasurer. Delmar Hohenstein displayed real musical talent. Dorothy Kaylor was a cheerleader and she represented our school at Girls State, also she got second in the district speech meet. We had much to look forward to. The prom, which we worked .hard to make a success, was carried out with the theme of Moonlight and Roses, and we had our iunior play, made up of three-one act plays: Orville's Big Date, Which Is The Way To Boston, and When Men Reduce as Women Do. Be- fore we knew it our third year of high school ended in a gay mood. At last we are about to end our happy school life with only five girls and eleven boys. We have missed many of our friends who moved away and yet we have had many nice additions. - At the beginning of the year we chose officers, Delmar Hohenstein, President, Tom Loose, Vice President, Ethel Smith, Secretary, and Betty Welch, Treasurer. Tom Loose, Delmar Hohenstein and Jack Morris played on our first team of basketball and some of our other boys were taking part. Many of our boys were out for football. Alice Meis- ter, Dorothy Kaylor and Doris Green were cheerleaders. Alice Meister, Betty Welch, Ethel Smith, Dorothy Kaylor and Doris Green were candidates for Homecoming Queen. Alice Meister was honored as Queen. Delmar Hohenstein, Robert Etter, Glenn Zirkle and Tom Loose were candidates for Homecoming King. Delmar Hohenstein was chosen King. Betty Welch received the D. A. R. award. Our Senior Play, Let Me Out of Here, was a real success.

The door opened, a lady took the envelope from the postman's hand and the door closed. Dorothy opened the envelope, glanced at the contents and after showing it to the youngsters gathered around her, she turned to Paul. Oh! Paul. Doris Green is getting married again! Who is it this time? You'lI never guess-- Kenny Tucker. Since he invented the Tucker Rocket he is rich and famous. He should suit Doris perfectly. Two days later, December 8, 1970, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hohenstein climbed into their i950 Ford and rattled off to the wedding. At the reception following the wedding Dorothy met many of her old classmates. Ethel Smith, happily married and living in Decatur, told her that Tom Loose was a coach at Urbana and that he and the former .loan Burch were living close to the high school there. Dorothy talked to Rodney Roberts, now the manager of a large Meadow Gold Company in llliopolis, and learned that Glenn Zirkle was just finishing a big construction iob. He had been busy the past year constructing the buildings for .lack Morris and Bob Etter's chicken farm. Doris took Dorothy aside later in the day and showed her a collection of newspa- per clippings she nad saved through the years. On one clipping Dorothy saw printed in large letters, Betty Welch becomes Home Economics Teacher. Reading further she found that Betty started teaching at the Iowa State College. There was a picture of Betty, standing at the head of her class without her crutches. For after patient effort Betty had learned to wallf again. Laying down the clippings Dorothy ioined another group of former classmates. Har- bert Clendenen, history professor at the University of Illinois, and Dale Mendenhall, a prosperous farmer, were discussing the merits of being a bachelor. Donald Gordy and Mearl Ray were comparing notes on the past twenty years. Gordy's Trucking Company, one of the biggest in the Midwest, was hauling goods for firms all over Illinois. Mearl Ray, now a Doctor had remodeled Dr. Bower's old office and was serving several communities near llliopolis. That accounted for nearly all of the senior class of i95O. But what about Delmar Hohenstein? Dorothy found him in the music room singing for a group of spellbound listeners. It was a thrill for Dorothy, to hear Delmar even though she had heard her brother-in-law many times over the radio. Only one person remained - Alice Meister. Just then someone suggested that they go visit IHS, lust for old times sake. Every- one agreed that it was a good idea so the party climbed into their cars and soon ar- rived at the school. Svrninr Qllama lirnphrrg The bulletin board was still there but a trophy case occupied the main part of the front hall. The pictures of the class of '50 were found and all gazed at them with a far-away look in their eyes. They entered the gym and all stopped, stared, and then burst into laughter-for what could bring back more memories than those old stage curtains! Just as they opened the office door a long black imported limousine screeched to a stop in front of the high school. A chauffer sprang out of the car, opened the door, and a lavishly dressed lady stepped out. Unable to believe her eyes Dorothy recog- nized Alice Meister, now a famous model. Alice ioined the rest of her former classmates and all the women remarked on her lovely ensemble. Soon the party returned to the bride's home to talk over old times and gradually everyone departed. The last ones to leave were Dorothy and Paul and both looked very happy as they once again rattled off in their l95O Ford! Zliarmurll linen: We, the seniors want to say, Farewell to our dear old school, For four years we've studied here, And learned the Golden Rule. We've been headaches to our teachers, But we still had lots of fun, lt makes us sad to think, That our high school days are done. So, Goodbye, say the seniors of fifty, We'Il miss all of you, we know, But we'll always remember I. H. S. Where ever we may go. Gilman linrm You have been around most of us, You know iust how we rate, We hope you will remember us, Long after we graduate Delmar Lee our mighty president, Ot our class had command, He was our homecoming king and In music and sports he did grand. Big Tom the brain in our class, Says a bachelor is what he is to be, By the looks of those trips to Urbana That, we do not see. Betty the treasurer of our class, ls always anxious in helping about, With her courage and sweet way, She will reach success, no doubt! Glenn is a little but mighty guy, ln activities he did well, indeed, We are sure as he goes through life ln any field he chooses, he can lead Mearl is a very bashful lad, You often find him blushing, Because of his pretty brown eyes, From girls he is often rushing. Ethel is new in our class this year, She is a very nice addition, Her sweet ways and cute smile, Gives us senior girls competition. Rodney is a very intelligent lad, He is better known to us as Red , He took part in everything in school, And for a leader, he has the head. Doris is smart and mighty cute, On her mind she has no certain one, She wants a man with money and good looks Her motto is Have lots of fun. Here is the genius Harbert, You'll always find him working, The thing he dislikes most of all, ls people always shirking. Slow but clever is Kenneth, As a helper, he is tops, you'll agree, Without his witty remarks to all, How dull our class would be. Gllaun lineart Oh Gee, we must not forget Alice, Who is pretty and certainly sweet, She was our homecoming queen this year, As a faithful friend, she can't be beat. Donald better known to us as Legs , His own independent way he goes, We are sure that in his profession, He will lead the shows. Now, Jack is really a handsome guy, With pretty hair full of waves, Because he is good at looking innocent, His own life he often saves. Dorothy has been here all the way through, You have often seen her leading yells, By the look of that ring on her finger, In June she will hear wedding bells. Dale is such a likeable lad, ln his own quiet and shy way, He is always willing to do his part, As for talking, he hasn't much to say. And now we seniors bid farewell, But our memories shall linger on, Of days here fulfilled with laughter, Though our high school days are gone. Srrninr mag LET ME OUT OF HERE Bona Lynn iDorothy Kaylorl and Eve Boyd CEthel Smithi worked together as typists and shared a two-room apartment. Bona's handsome brother, Garret iDelmar Hohen- steinl and his friend, Victor Ward CRodney Robertsl come to town on business for Mr. Ward iTom Loosel. Eve's Aune Angelea CAlice Meister? and cousin, Gifford iMearl Rayl an eccentric poet come to visit the girls. Her aunt thought she was attending college. The play was very amusing when the snoopy landlady, Bessie Rhodes iBetty Welchl found the boys in the girls' room and Victor dressed in girl's clothing, because he had torn his trousers. Even more amusing was the negro maid, Hazel Miles lDoris Greenl and the superstitious colored elevator boy, Stevie Cobb iGlenn Zirklel in their love scen- es. In the end the whole mix-up was straightened out and it turned out to be a real success. In between acts Al Riches sang for us. With the cooperation of the cast and Mr. Hamilton we are sure it was a highlight for our senior year. LASS S, sw.: . N563 Q ES rx A MN D il :Q S' -4 A 11-Ji' Iffv Q Xi? W - T15 1 2 Wifi ? 31untm' Qilawn Eintnrg On the bright morning of September 2, 1947, nine green freshies strutted in the doors of I. H. S. eager for the beginning of their high school years. Our class officers for the first year were: President, Joan Myers, Vice President, Joe Porter, and Secretary- Treasurer, Shirley Garlits. 7 Our Sophomore year was a quiet one. Glenn Rudd presided as President: Joe Donovan, Vice President, Karol Richards, Secretary, and Gene Stelzriede, Treasurer. Many of our members continued to take part in school activities. Now that we are in our Junior year we have our officers: President, Joe Donovan, Vice President, Karol Richards, Secretary, Mary Lines, and Beverly Moore, Treasurer. After many weeks of hard practice we presented our play, The Campbells Are Com- ing. December l7 was an exciting day for our class when the class rings arrived. Immediately after our play we started working on our Junior-Senior Banquet and after much bickering and hard work we feel it was a success. .5 3luninr Flag The Campbells Are Coming , one of the best plays ever witnessed by an audi- ence of our community, was directed by Mr. Hamilton. The play, a three act comedy, was centered around lovable old Grandma Bran- ningan CJ. Myersi and her three grandchildren Dick CF. Pritchettl, Betty CK. Rich- ardsi, and Kaye CS. Garlitsi. Kaye fell in love with Kingston Campbell CG. Ruddi the well educated son of Mrs. Augustus Campbell CW. Taylori. Rather than have Kaye married to Kingston, the Branningans decided to pretend they were ignorant Hillbillies so that Kaye would marry her childhood sweetheart, Jeff Schudder CJ. Porteri. Jeff's uncle, Cyrus Schudder CB. Kuntzi was helpful in the plot as well as trying to talk Ma Brannigan into marrying him. Catalpa Tapp CB. Moorel was the young hillbilly maid who worked for Ma Brannigan. Her Pa Bildad Tapp CJ. Dono- vani upset the Campbells society act,,when he proved that Mrs. Augustus Campbell was his sister. Catalpa decided that she and Pa could go and spend a few months with the Campbells and take all the kids along. The Brannigans again settled down to their ordinary life. 4 For the entertainment between acts J. Handlin imitated Al Jolson. All in all it was a great success. fiuniur Qllzwz ROW ONE: B. Kuntz, R.

We may have been green' but our class was looking forward to the first year of high school. Gfficers for the green year were Robert Georges, President, and Bruce Graham, Secretary. With the help of our class sponsors, Miss Dunlap and Mr. Winters, we gave a St. Patricks Day Party on March 17, I949. Members of our class took an interest in music, athletics, and other activities. This year we started out by electing Robert Georges, President, Rosella Ervin, Vice President, Rose Christian, Secretary, Lois Bottrell, Treasurer, and Rosella Ervin, Student Council member. We had many different sponsors this year due to sickness. They were Mr. Tomlinson, Miss Johnson, Mrs. Loose, and Mr. Elliott. The twenty-two members of our class united to give an all-school party on Decem- ber 23, lt was a huge success. Many of the boys went out for football, basketball, and track. Also many of our members took up music, speech and helped on the school paper. Robert Georges was one of the candidates for King. So with another year behind us we are looking forward to next year when we will change our names from silly sophomores to iolly iuniors. Zlirenhmrn 0112155 On September 6, l949, seventeen eager and wondering students walked into the halls of llliopolis High School. We were all ready and willing as initiation day drew near. We were all beautiful sights as we spent one miserable day with the girls in baggy overalls and our cute boys in dresses. Tommy Roberts, Robert Kaylor, and Glenn Hohenstein helped to fill out our foot! ball squad. Glenn played regularly on the first team with Robert and Tommy playing considerably. Basketball brought out four boys to help our fighting basketball team. Sammy Headrick, Robert Kaylor, and Lawrence Tennyson played on our second team with Glenn Hohenstein playing regularly on our first team. We soon discovered there were several canaries in the class. Robert Maxheimer, Sammy Headrick, Myrlene Handlin, Sarah Burge, Kay Wurl, Janet Bradley, Chiquito Craig, Norma Young, and Janet Pritchett were in mixed chorus. Fortunately, Myrlene Handlin, Chiquita Craig, and Janet Pritchett were able to sing in the Girls' Ensemble. With the help of Miss Barnett and Mr. Hamilton, our class advisors, we put on an all-school St. Patricks party in March, trying to prove ourselves as Green Freshmen. We also had several other parties during our happy and exciting first year in high school. Svuphnmnrr Gllafm ROW ONE: R. Christian, L. Bottrell, R. Ervin, B. Georges. ROW TWO: C. Walker, D.

Our class dues were set at 25c per month. Our being moved over to the High School made us all feel a little strange at first as we had to become accustomed to new and different methods, but after a while we settled down and everyone liked it much better. In October, we had our first class party at the farm home of Raymond Beck. We all rode out in a truck and were accompanied by Miss Rust and Mr. Shouse. We had a weiner roast and the usual trimmings. We played games such as Ditch and Keep Away and everyone enjoyed the party very much. 5211211111 Grain, Of the twenty-nine present seventh graders, only three of them started at the llliop- olis Grade School in the first grade. ln the second, third, and fourth grades many pu- pils carne and went. In the fifth and sixth grades many came in because of two con- solidations and the development of the Ordinance Plant area. We seventh graders were moved to the llliopolis High School this yeafwhere we entered into most of the high school routine.

Leslie Blakeman, one of our drivers, has been with us four years. The other two, Les Havener and John Blair, have been with us for two years. These drivers' cheerful good morning and good-bye make the bus rides enioyable for the students. Srhunl iiatrnln Another new addition was added to our school this year. Although some of us did not feel it was necessary we now like the idea and our hats are off to our school patrol. Zllanitnrn Although at the beginning of the year we had two other ianitors, we now have Mr. Alexander and Mr. Kramer. They are really grand fellows and they both do a good job of cleaning the building. As this yearbook goes to press we learn that Mr. Kramer quit his iob due to an ill- ness of his father-in-law.

This year has brought to a climax the construction of our farm shop. This year also has seen five new members into our club. These green hands were as follows: Tom Roberts, Rodney Roberts, Bob Maxheimer, Kenneth Gordy, and Don Rohrig. These green hands were initiated on November I6, 1949. These boys were given their F. F. A. pins on the fourth Friday in March. Our chapter again rented land in the plant area to make money for buying shop tools. We also took down the lights from the ball diamond and put them on the foot- ball field. The F. F. A. is still running the coke machine. Our basketball team was a little better this year than usual. We played Niantic four games and won three of them. We tried to get games with other schools but we could not get them to play us. Our club took a trip last year to Baraboo, Wisconsin. There were T3 of us count- ing Mr. Winters and Les Blakeman our bus driver. Mr. Winters went along this time to be our chief cook and bottle washer. Our new club officers were elected last September 9, l949. These officers are as follows: Joe Donovan, President, Dale Mendenhall, Vice President: Howard Young, Sec- retary: Carl Maxheimer, Treasurer: Glenn Mendenhall and Franklin Pritchett, Reporters. These officers were elected with the help of our last year graduates. ZF. E. A. A This year's F. H. A. began under the leadership of the following officers: Alice Meister, President: Beverly Moore, Vice President: Dorothy Kaylor, Secretary: and Betty Welch Treasurer. ROAD TO SUCCESS was chosen as our theme. Meetings were held the third Wednesday of each month. The girls sponsored a Christmas dance on December 30. The gym was decorated beautifully and everyone danced to the soft music of Lee Baumgartner and his orches- TFC. On February 9th, the F. H. A. girls were initiated into the chapter. The officers walked up the aisle while soft music played in the background. They took their place behind the table which featured a bouquet of red roses. The initiates were brought before the table by'guides who read the purposes of the organization to them. Refresh- ments were then served. Our Chapter Mother, Mrs. Kent Roberts, was chosen Section Mother. We were very proud to have her chosen before the House of Delegates. With the help of Mrs. Elliott, our advisor, and Mrs. Roberts, we feel that we have had a successful year. ZH. ZF. A. ROW ONE: C. Maxheimer, D. Mendenhall, J. Donovan, H. Young, G. Mendenhall.

After days of tense excitement five couples were chosen to make up the court. Then came the voting and the results were kept a dark secret until the time of the coronation. After the Homecoming Football Game everyone crowded into the gym to see the affair. As the music played softly in the background, the first couple, Betty Welch and Robert Georges, entered. Betty looked very charming in a white gown. Then the sec- ond couple, Ethel Smith and Robert Etter, made their entrance. Ethel was attired in a very becoming green gown. Doris Green with her escort, Glenn Zirkle, followed. Doris was very pretty in her aqua gown. The next couple were Dorothy Kaylor and Tom Loose. Dorothy wore alwhite gown and looked very striking. The little crown bearers, Jimmy Meister and Sandra Ervin, carrying the crowns, made up the court. Then came the exciting moment-the King and Queen entered. They were Alice Meister and Delmar Hohenstein. Alice was lovely in her dress of red and white and she and Delmar made a very striking couple. Mr. LeRoy Hartley, President of the School Board, crowned their maiesties. The music for dancing began and the court led the first dance. This was a most successful affair that will long be remembered. Stuhrnt Olnunril Our student council was organized this year. The purpose of the Council was to help improve our school. Glenn Zirkle was elected President, Joe Donovan, Vice President, and Rosella Er- vin, Secretary-Treasurer. Each class had two representatives. The whole student body was divided up into committees having certain responsi- bilities and duties about the school building and grounds. They sponsored several as- semblies and a record dance to make money to buy new records. Mr. Pogue and Mr. Hamilton were advisors. Enmrrnming King anh llbuufn LEFT TO RIGHT: B. Effer, E. Smifh, T.

They furnished music for our Christmas program and are looking forward to a place in the district. We also have a quartette this year consisting of three senior boys and one iunior. Our sextette includes three freshmen girls, two iuniors and one sophomore. The band this year has improved very much, some of it's members are from the grade school. Under the direction of Miss Rust the entire music department is running very smoothly. 'Harnitg Olluh This year the varsity letter winners of our school organized into the Varsity Club. Tom Loose was elected President, Rodney Roberts, Vice President, and Harbert Clen- denen, Treasurer. - The initiation for new football letter winners was held during the school day. The dubs were decorated with burnt cork and lipstick. They were required to carry an egg with them at all times. At the end of the day each dub's egg had to have the names ot every varsity club member. Another form of humiliation was the task of carrying the varsity members books from class to class. The new recruits cooperated very will- ingly and the initiation was enjoyed by all. The varsity club sponsored a record dance after the last regular season basketball game. Another initiation will be held for new basketball and track letter winners at the end of the school term. Qihnrun ROW ONE: H. Kuntz, N. Young, B. Moore, Miss Rust, W. Taylor, C. Craig, R. Ervin.

It was decided to have two teams, varsity and a second team. The varsity team consisted of: Captain Dorothy Kaylor, Alice Meister, and Doris Green. The second team was made up of Norma Young, Myrlene Handlin, and Bev- erly Moore. The girls worked together in football and during basketball, each cheered for the team they represented.

Hohenstein and J. Garlits at guard, Beck at center, and Moore and Hudelson at forward. The Heavyweight team was composed of J. Fish and E. Blair at guard, J. Love at center, W. Finch and R. Win- ters at guard. The Heavyweight team lacked both size and experience but managed to come through with five wins against eight losses. The Lightweight Bulldogs dropped the opening game but made up for it by winning the fifteen remaining games and the Sangamon County Grade School Tournament. Lirahr Srhnnl Qihrrrlrahrrz This year the grade school opened its basketball season by electing cheerleaders. They were Mildred Worth, Roberta Marshall, Beth Thompson, and Betty Stelzriede. Beth Thompson moved away. We hated to lose her from the squad. Norma Max- heimer took her place and proved to be a very nice addition. The girls worked well together and led the boys through a successful season. Grain: Svrhnul Basketball Svquah ROW ONE: R. Beck, J, Gorlits, C. Hohenstein, R. Moore, R. Hudelson, Mr. Shouse.
