(NOT PICTURED) CLASS HISTORY On August 26, 1958, llliopolis High .School welcomed our freshman class of 33 members. On August 29, we were made true members of the high scnooi — tiie dreaded Initiation took place. We were, as usual, slaves to the seniors for the whole day. The officers we elected for the year were: President, Marsha Layton; Vice Presi- dent, Walter Beck; Secretary-Treasurer, Elaine Peters; and Student Council Representatives, Jerry Ford and Walter Beck. We entered our float, “ We’ll Teach ’Em!” in the Homecoming Parade and were surprised to learn that it won third place. Among the other activities for the year was the Class Party held in the All-Purpose Room during March. At the end of year we felt like “old pros’’ and looked forward to three more years at ICHS. In the fall of ’59, thirty of us entered ICHS as Sophomores. To lead us this year we elected Jerry Ford, President; Walter Beck, Vice-President; Elaine Peters, Secretary; Mary Meister, Treasurer; and Student Coun- cil Representatives, Hale Casey and Walter Beck. This year we nad six boys participating in sports and three girls, Elaine Peters, Marsha l avton, and Kathy Murphy, elected varsity cheerleaders. For our entry in the home- coming parade, we made an oil wen and used the theme, “Drilling for Victory.” However, after the rain de- molished it, we changed our theme to “Ol Well We Tried.” Our entry in the school carnival was “Clown Town.” Mr. Boettcher was our class sponsor for the year. We were twenty-one sarong when at last we entered as upperclassmen in the fall of ’60. Cur officers for the year were: Kathy murphy, President; Walter Beck, Vice-President; Hynn Meredith, Secretary; Lucille Lan- dreth, treasurer; ana ornuent Council Representatives, Janet Foster and Walter Beck. This year we had seven boys representing us m sports aua the same three girls as varsity cheerieadeis. We began oar monev-making projects by having- a magazine drive, and 'five members of the class sold over $100 worth or magazines. Our entry m die homecoming parade was “Sailin’ to Success.” Llaine Peters and Kathy Murphy were chosen to be on the Homecoming court. Gail Bruntjen, Kathy Murphy, Elaine Peters, Janet Foster, Judy Ramsey, Lynn Mere- dith, .viaxy rueisrer, Lucille Landreth, Jacquelyn Chinnock, Patricia Thomas, Sue Dial, Walter Beck, Dale Casey, and John Miller were in the Jr.-Sr. Play, “Our Miss Brooks.” John Miller and Gail Bruntjen were chosen to attend Boys State and Girls State. The main event for which we had been working all year was the Jr.-Sr. Prom. It was held at the Holiday Inn Motel in Springfield on May 6. The theme was “Some Enchanted Evening.” Mrs. Britton was our class sponsor for the year. Finally we made it as Seniors. The officers for our final year were: John Miller, President; Dale Casey, Vice-President; Janet Foster, Secretary; Gail Bruntjen, Treasurer; and Student Council Representatives, Elaine Peters, and Dale Casey. The theme of our homecoming entry was “We’ll Tree ’Em.” Kathy Murphy, Mary Meister, Elaine Peters, Walter Beck, James Kitscm and John Miller were on the Royal Court. Gail Bruntjen and Dale Casey were choeen King and t ueen. Several of the class were again in the Jr.-Sr. Play. They were Gail Bruntjen, Elaine Peters, John Miller, Allen Reynolds, Walter Beck, Janet Foster, Marcia Daum, Lynn Mere- dith, and James Kitson. The name of the play was “Grandma, How Could You?” and it was directed by Mrs. Ford. The proceeds from the play helped us finance our class trip. We also had a concession stand at the football games and a candy machine in the school to earn money. Ten of us, our sponsor, Mi-. Menkhaus, and his wife, went to Chicago, “The Windy City”, for our class trip. We had a wonderful, although beetle time. We can’t for- get the Prom which the Juniors gave for us at Hotel Leland in Springfield on Miay 5. The theme was “How High the Moon”, and it certainly was a night we will all remember. Many of us received awards before we made our last step. Elaine Peters was Valedictorian and also the D. A. R. award winner. Janet Foster was Salutatoriam The Betty Crocker Award winner was Gail Bruntjen and Judjy Raansey and John Miller received the Danforth Award for Citizenship. Then it was time for our awaited moment. The final seventeen of us were all very- happy to receive our diplomas, but yet a little sad to leave. We all agree that we have had a wonderful four years at ICHS.

Signed, Sealed, and Declared as our Last Will and Testament. THE SENIORS CLASS PROPHECY We now take you to the year 1080. The setting is the class reunion of the 1962 graduating class. Pi 1st we talk to Elaine Peters.We i'indi that she is now happily married and the mother of three boys, Mark I, Mhrk II, and Mark III, and two darling little girls, Marquette and Janice Jean. Elaine can’t stay long today, though, due to the impatience of her chauffer—as she still hasn’t learned the art of driving! Well, here’s Kathy Murphy, She is now employed as a weight lifting instructor at Illinois State University. She is also a gireat agriculturist! She recently received the “Dilly Dairy Outstanding Milker of the Year Award.” Congratulations, ’Katie!! P. S. Kathy is also a blue-ribbon hog caller. And here we liave Walter Beck. Walt tells us that lie’s been employed as a tester for Mother Fletcher’s Peanut Factory for the past few years. He also works part time as Hog Hoof In- spector for the Elmer’s Glue Company in order to support his wife Janet and their two children, Gayle and Gerald. Well, ’wha’ do ’ya know!! Here’s Mary Holier. Mary tells us that she is now employed as a tester for the Stretch-Ever Girdle Company. (That’s pretty obvious!) Her husband is a Mathematics Instructor at Carver High School in Chicago. Although he’s a whiz at numbers, he can’t seem to keep count of the number of children they now have. While talking to Jim Kitson we learn that he is the proprietor of a chain of Drive-In movies in the Belgian. Congo. Jim decided to go into this business after much thought and experimentation. We-learn that Gail Bruntjen has made quite a success of herself in the shipping world—she owns a group of garbage barges. What would this country do without people like herf She is really quite famous, for when she comes down a river, it is known for miles around 11 It looks as if John Miller has seen fit to endow us with his presence. John is very busy still run- ning from all the teachers he had in study hall way back in ICHS days. He has incorporated running and winning universal track meets with this. John is also the steady and faithful supply boy for all of the local candy machines. Besides this, he runs a chemistry-lab supply house, (to make up for all his losses in ’ole ICHS.) And here’s Janet Foster! Janet has made quite a name for herself in the field of mathematics. She recently devised a machine that will calculate the oofunction of the cologarithm of the square root of the quadrantal triangle by using the factorial symbol for the exponential functions to express the mantissa of the terrestrial triangle and the sexagesimal system of measurement Also, Mollweide’s formulas come in there somewhere. Well, well, well,—if it isn’t Mrs. Judy Tea. ( Judy Ramsey) We are very fortunate indeed to have Judy with us, as it is extremely difficult for her to leave her eleven children in Arizona. Judy tells us that she is an accomplished soloist. Her only oompetition — the lonely Arizona coyotes. And here we have Mrs. Marcia McClure, wife of the Reverend Tom McClure. Marcia tells us that she recently received the Mother of the Year A wal’d. She is also the head of the John Birch Society. Before entering tills field, she was the Dean of Women at Vassar. Well, well, it looks like Allen Reynolds lias taken time off from his ferociously busy schedule to atteud our little reunion. The very name Reynolds” strikes fear in the hearts of all drag- sters. Allen’s well-known, well-built, smoothridiug Edsel-’58 Ford-’57 car is really tearing up the Alton track. Of course, tliis does not take up all his time. When oysters are in season, and he has the time, he is an avid fan of oyster-diving. His hand-polished pearls are world renowned. In fact, he plans to bejewel his next fantalbulous automobile with them. Rather-uh- different, wouldn’t you say ? Juanita Hughes tells us that she is now employ ed by Uncle Slam. She is a test driver of the Army’s latest war tanks! She first became interested in “test” driving while driving her family’s notor- ious ’55 Chevy. Juanita, however, is bored with her occupation and plans later to take up the more exciting life of teaching Sunday School in Ecuador!!! And here’s Lynn Meredith. Lynn had quite a number of occupations since her graduation from ’'ole ICHS In 1968 she was the U. S. Ambassador of Good-Will to Cuba, in 1965 she was the jockey who rode the winning horse in the Kentucky Derby, and from 1966-1976 she was a cello player in tiie Philadelphia “Smypathy” Harmonies. Now she has finally settled down and is attending ii radi ey Uni versi ty where she is majoring in the field of Science. She hopes to receive her Bachelor of Science degree so she can teach her favorite subject—Chemistry. Here in the corner we find l)r. Dale Eugene Casey, D. D. S. As you can see, Dale is still the same shy, boyish soul he always was. His women patients scare him so much that the Fire Depart- ment had to- pull him off a ledge just last week. However, Dale is very successfu-L Besides being a dentist and the father of six kiddies with perfect ly rotten teeth, he owns a chain of Zim’s Super- markets. H.e also has the clothing market cornered with his famous ‘‘Dale Casey Middy Blouses.” We hear that Ben (Casey) is abouit to commit suicide!! Gall, if I’ve told you once I’vew1 I told you a thousand times.... The view from the terrace Is splendid Down hy the station early in the morning. The dog had kittens!!?! Ah, Judy Timmons, Carolyn Grossman, and Susan Dial have just arrived in their Chartreuse limousine. Heavens, those girls have gone far! Radio City Mnsie Hall had to enlarge its seating capacity when those three were signed as Rocke ttes. Their husbands are quite famous, also. Car- olyn’s is author of the book “How to Stand on One’s Head Without Really Trying.” Both Judy’s and Susan’s husbands are very famous in Hollywood. Judy’s is Yul Brvnner’s hairdresser and Susan’s was the producer of the great movie—Splinter in the Grass.” Her favorite pastimej Shrlmp-you're done forj Disney's Sleeping Ugly . Sea Hunt rejects. SENIOR CLASS TRIP Oar class trip consisted ot a week end in Chicago. Ten seniors left Springfield at 3:00 a. m. on April 26, by train for Chicago. After ar- riving there we checked into the Paikmer House where we stayed dur- ing our trip. We then visited the Museum of Science and Industry, which contained many interesting exhibits. Saturday afternoon we went through Marshall Fields and Company. We saw the movie, ”E1Mother could see me now] Cid”, at the Cine-Stage Theatre on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning all of the seniore attended Church. In the af- ternoon we visited the Prudential Building and the lake Front. We left Chicago by train at 6:00 p. m. and arrived in Springfield at 9:30. We were met in Springfield by some of the parents who brought us home. B L HONOR STUDENTS VALEDICTORIAN D. A.

The Student Council for the year 1961-62 was a very busy and very successful one. At our first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Dale Casey; V. President, Elaine Peters; Secretary, Cheryl Kaylor; and Treasurer, Larry Moore. I he first problem we solved was that of nooD activities. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, dancing to records was held in the upper hall. At the first of the year intramural volleyball games were held on Tues- days and Fridays. This was discontinued with the arrival of warm weather. Then came Homecoming. Here the Council had the job of supervising both the selection of the King and Queen candidates and later on the final election. Hie Annual Student Council Convention for this Section was held at Pittsfield, Illinois. It was attended by M’r. Hammer, our adviser, Larry ('asey, Elaine Peters, Cheryl Kaylor, and Jack Stengel. The All-School Christmas Party was our next big project. First, numbers for the exchange of gifts were made and passed out to the student body. In the gymnasium a huge Christmas tree was decorated and the gifts were placed beneath it and later were given out. At the party, the entertainment was provided by skits performed by the classes and refreshments were served. 'The accomplishment in which we took the most pride was the completion of a new constitution. We had some trouble getting it organized, but finally got the job done. We finished the year by electing next year’s Student Council President. This year the President was elected for the first time by the entire student body. LIBRARIANS Row 1: E. Peters, C. Ramsey, J.

The team then journeyed to Niantie to meet the traditional foes. Niantic won although the score didn’t reflect the type of game that was played by the Pirates. Next the Pirates headed toAssumption to battle against the conference champs. The Comets trimmed the Pirates pretty badly. At the following game Illiopolis played host to Mlaroa. A few costly Pirate mistakes led to a Trojan victory. The team then traveled to Lovington to play in their homecoming game. Unfortunately, the Pirates met defeat again. October 20, IHS homecoming game saw Bethany pull into town. The Pirates played a real good game, but they lost to a stronger team. For the last game of the season the Pirates went to Mbweaqua, but again they lost against super- ior odds. Although the Pirates had a losing record, each of the fifteen boys deserve a pat on the back for playing his hardest.
