CLASS PROPHECY The whole town of Illiopolis is talking about the big party in the man- sion of the multi-millionaire, Myron Griesheim. Mike, as his close friends call him, owns a chain of theatres from coast to coast. He is seldom home, but recently he returned and planned an elaborate homecoming for his high school classmates of 1955. After twenty-five years it would not have been possible for him to con- tact all of his friends if it had not been for that astounding event that happened a few months ago. We are referring to that outer-space trip made by Robert Winters in his especially designed rocket ship. Robert contacted Venus, and was given a a hero's welcome on his return. Radiograms of congratulations kept the air waves in a whirl, and, because every senior of 1955 sent his message of admiration to Robert Mike was able to learn the whereabouts of each of his classmates and decided on a reunion. There were twenty-one planes at Mike's airport—seven of them belonging to Mike. One plane, a beautiful royal blue and silver, belonged to the lovely model, Norma Maxheimer, who in private life is Mrs. James Pish. One plane had the definite markings of a taxi. Naturally, Eddie Blair was the pilot. He is also a reporter for the Illiopolis Sentinel. Eddie had two pass- engers, Dolly Kennett, a secretary to Mr. Billy Wayne McMillan, who manufactures chewing gum in a tube. Just squeeze the tube and get the right amount. Mr. McMil- lan conceived the idea while preparing the well-known plastics used in his houses. Dolly is married to an actor. She doesn't need to work, but the chewing gum factory has such fascination for her that she applied for a position on the off- ice force. She has been very helpful in her suggestions for flavors. There was a brilliant yellow plane belonging to Professor David Worth who teaches at U.C.L.A., and who has perfected colored sky writing. He has a contract with DuPont, and recommended Raymond Winters as an expert sky writer. The beautiful smoke-picture ads painted by Lefty have been inspiring; however, Raymond has asked for a leave of absence so he can accompany his brother, Robert, on his next trip to Venus. Raymond wants to paint a few pictures of the life on that planet. Francis Murphy arrived in a neat little silver plane. He has been in Alad a getting material for his next book. It is rumored that he may also make a trip to Venus and write an account of his experiences. It is doubtful that his lovely ac- tress wife. Lura Lee, will go with him. George Ford had his orange helicopter covered with stickers andsLogans. He passed out cards to his friends announcing his candidacy for U. S. Senator from Illinois. Ford is very popular due to his eloquent speeches and his election is al- most a certainty. Carroll Hohenstein, the popular football coach from Purdue, arrived with his charming French wife and seven of their fourteen children. Mayor Ronald Richards of the fast growing industrial city of Lanesville was a little late. He had been in conference with the mayor of Chicago, who sought Ronnie's advice. Mayor Richards is interviewed weekly on television, and his city government ideas are respected and copied by many city managers. The large red passenger plane belongs to Wayne Finch who brought his en- tire band to play at Mike's party. He had just returned from London where he had a very successful season, and where he played at the command of lovely Queen Elizabeth. Diplomat David Hartley flew home from Egypt to be at the reunion. He brought his handsome son, who had never seen his father's boyhood home. David has gained the reputation of Peacemaker of the World. The beautiful white bird-like plane belongs to Eugenia Howard. The let- tering on the side informs us that it belongs to the owner of a dude ranch in Arizona; and, as you might expect, Eugenia stepped out wearing a very nifty western outfit of red and white. A brown and gold plane came roaring in, and the smiling face of Jimmy Graham appeared. Jimmy took time out from the movie he was making to be with his former classmates. It is rumored that he plans to marry the actress who is co- starring with him, but Jimmy has had many rumored romances, but has always gotten away. Executive Bob Porter joined them, and completed the guest list. Bob is preparing to open a big department store in Mt. Pulaski. His store in Illiopolis is so successful with its plane park on the roof. Mike was a wonderful host and he persuaded his guests to remain another day so that Sentinel reporter, Eddie Blair, could Interview them. It may be a long time before so many important people will meet at one time in Illiopolis. Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1955, in the town of Illiooolis, county of Sangamon, and the State of Illinois, being in sound mind and in fine temper as usual, do hereby make this our last will and testament. We, the Senior Class, will freely and consciously, to the Junior Class, our sound mind, good looks, wonderful physique, and our fine conduct in the class room. We hope these don't get you into as much trouble as they did us. To our teachers we leave, a peaceful and quiet classroom. To the Freshmen and Sophomores we leave our sympathy. And last, but not least, we bequeath our most valuable possessions.

I, Eddie Blair, do will to Mary Ann Leonard, my muscular form, knowing that she can defend herself in case of marriage.

Signed, sealed, published, and declared as and for their last will and testament by the members of the class of 1955, who, at their request and in the presence of us and of each other, have subscribed our names hereto as witnessed on the day and year last aforesaid. CLASS POM The Seniors come and go each year. Yet no schoolmate is the same. Every name recalls a memory Of a place� a deed or game. Here's our president, David Hartley. He is good at any task. Honor student, named to Boy's State, Handsome too, if you should ask. Norma, lovely as our queen. Dark as midnight, eyes and hair. She is our Vice-president 'Tis of Jim she is aware.

Who speeds by in classy cars? Meet our joking Eddie Blair. May our faults all be forgotten. Please be kind and pass them by. May our teachers please forgive us For the times we didn't try. Due to the fact that I am the only witness who enrolled in Sept.,of 1943 in the first grade, I will relate our experiences as I have seen them. During the first year I was joined by Mike Greishiem and during the next eight years we gained and lost many classmates. At times when we thought the teachers overtaxed us with home work we would look up the ladder of education and see the rung marked graduation. With starry eyes and renewed determination we would regain our struggle. Ac la t this day is past and twenty relieved and eager eyed students left the gymnasium looking forward to High School. On Sept. 5 1952 we began on our journey with 20 members on board. During the year we elected the following officers; President Eddie Blair, Vice President Caro- lyn Craig, Secretary Wayne Finch, Student Council David Worth. Many of the boys went out for snorts and our class enjoyed the all-school activities as well as our parties. We started our Sophomore year with a Bang.'� The first project to raise money was a bake sale. Latter on we had a box social. Only a few attended but we did make money. After these two successfull ventures we had two parties enjoyed by all. We elected for officers the following; President, Ronnie Richards; Vice President,Bill McKillen; Secretary, Norma Maxheimer. In our Junior year we elected these officers; President,Bill McMillen, Vice Pres- ident, David Worth; Secretary, Eugenia Howard; Treasurer,David Hartley; Student- Council, Eddie Blair. During the year we had a paper drive and magazine sale too raise money. We got our class rings and sponsored the Prom which was enjoyed by all. We started our Senior year by electing the following officers; President, David Hartley; Vice President, Norma Maxheimer; Secretary, Eugenia Howard; Treasurer,Bill McMillen; Student Council, Francis Murphy. During the year our largest obstacle was editing the Annual. The Prom given by the Juniors was enjoyed by all and now graduation is coming, the end of our years of struggle. VJ umor R. Pickett A.

The aims of this Association are to promote interest and participation in girls’ athletic activities and to develop desirable practices in health and sportsmanship. The point system of the Illinois League of High School GAA is used for awarding pins. The first award is a local award and is in the form of a block I”; the second award is similar to the first but has strips designating years. The State Award is a map of the State with the school's locality starred. A girl must be passing in three academic subjects to be eligible for pins or awards.
