TH£ CRIfTlSOfl J Volume XXIX movit tDiTion lleuiton Bateman memorial High School Jacksonville, Illinois Published by the Senior Class of 1939 COPYRIGHT 1939 CYNTHIA WOODS Editor-in-Chief PAUL FINDLEY Business Manager IRENE GROVES Faculty Adviser THE CRIMSON J 1939 foreword Through the medium of the motion picture, the drama of life is presented to the public, enabling them to enjoy a portrayal of their own emotions and lives. The Senior Class of 1939 has chosen Movies as the theme for its year book because it feels that high school life can be compared to the cinema in- dustry—its outstanding members, the stars; the classes, the supporting cast; the faculty, the directors and scenario writers. (Member 1936-39) 2 e 6 e 61 I NOSWIUD 3 H i Contents Directors Actors Guilds features Stars THE CRIMSON I 1939 Dedication In respectful recognition of her unceasing efforts and inestimable service, we, the Senior Class of 1939, dedicate this, our yearbook, to Miss Irene Groves, our adviser. 5 THE CRIMSON I The Studio Through the impressive entrance of our Jacksonville High School Studio pass its directors, stars, supporting players, stand-ins, cameramen, and all the various workers whose cooperation is necessary to the finished production of High School Life. Although many of the actors change studios when their four-year contract expires, they continue to regard it with affection as the scene of many happy and memorable experiences. 6 L 6 C 6 I I NOSWIHD 3 H1 THE CRIMSON J 1939 BOB NEFF Robert Eugene Neff, born April 28, 1921, was stricken during an epidemic of influenza late in February, 1939, and died from pneumonia complications on March 5, 1939. An active member of the Class of 1939 and a participant in many of the school activities during his three and a half years at Jacksonville High School, Bob would have graduated with his classmates in May. Bob manifested his high ideals of conduct and character in many ways among his large group of friends, both in J. H. S. and throughout the community. Though a friendly companion has passed on, his memory remains as a symbol of good will and fellowship. 8 Directors THE CRIMSON J 1939 Board of education George B. Kendall, President Fred Bailey S. N.

Stoops Superintendent of City Schools, Dr. R. O. Stoops, has always been intensely interested in the activities of our high school. His helpfulness in carrying out the policies of the high school has been appreciated by the senior class. Mr. J. C. Mutch Through all our years at high school our principal, Mr. Mutch, has very ably directed the class of 1939. He has always shown a great deal of interest in the welfare of the student body as a whole, and we feel that he deserves much credit for his admirable work. Mr. John Agger This year, our assistant principal, Mr. Agger, continued his work as manager of the Student Activity Plan. He obtained some excellent material for our assemblies, and through him many interesting programs were presented. Mr Agger is also a very capable member of the faculty.

O. Stoops Mr. Ralph Hutchison Principal J. C. Mutch Mr. Basil Sorrells Coach Frank Walker Mr. John T. Taylor The Board of Control is a body organized by the Board of Education for the supervision of the expenditures of the various extra-curricular activities of our high school. This enables the leveling influence of a more mature group for the control of expenses. The members of the Board of Control are the superintendent of city schools, the high school principal, the director of physical education, a high school alumnus not on the faculty, and one member of the finance committee of the Board of Education. The president is the high school alumnus, at present Mr. Basil Sorrells, and the Board of Control elects the secretary- treasurer who is Mr. John T. Taylor. Mr. Agger, because of his direction of the Student Activity Fund concern- ing the handling of amounts of considerable size, is considered an unofficial representative. The meetings of the Board of Control are held on the first Monday of every school month in the office of the Board of Education. These meetings are open to anyone wishing to appear before the Board in the interest of any of the school activities. 16 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Fran Capps Helen Beck John Clark Paul Findley Honor Students Fran Capps, Helen Beck, John Clark, and Paul Findley ranked first, second, third, and fourth respectively in the 1939 class, and the following students maintained an average of B” or better throughout their four years of high school: Duane Artz Virginia Martin Mary Barber Henry Meyer Jack Carpenter Arthur Moxon Jane Carter Eleanor Pevey Carline Crum Edith Reed Odele Forrester Charlene Robinson Robert Gard Ben Roodhouse Gratia Hall John Self Curtis Hill Joyce Sooy Faye Koyne Fern Van Giesen James Lacey Maxine Ward William Lowery Geraldine Wilkinson 19 Bob Spink Gratia Hall John Self Fran Capps 1 ■ most Popular Students BOB SPINK Bob, one of our most popular seniors, has gained his standing through leadership and sportsmanship. He was our senior class vice-president and this year's football captain. GRATIA HALL Popular Gratia’s name has been identified with debates, speech work, and many offices and clubs. Her ready smile and pleasing personality have made her many friends at J. H.S. JOHN SELF John, the comedian who has sent us into spasms of laughter, is an all-round good fellow. His membership in many clubs, his debating, and his dramatic and speech work have made him very popular. FRAN CAPPS Fran's winning smile and personality plus her dramatic work have placed her in the ranks of the most popular seniors. Fran's popularity can also be attributed to her participation in various activities and clubs. ■ .-=VS 20 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Arthur Moxon Bob Spink Catherine Angel Suzanne Dobyns Class At the beginning of the school year the Senior Class elected the officers who were to guide the class through its final year in J. H. S. The choice proved to be a wise one, for with these leaders the class was made a four-star attraction. During their Junior year, the class began to attract the favorable notice of the critics by their production of a class play, The Catalogue , featuring Mary Jo Brown, James French, Eugenia Barber, Arthur Ball, and Robert Gard. The class triumphed again when they put on the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. Gratia Hall and Art Moxon, the co-chairmen of this event, deserve much of the credit for its success. The directors of the class during its final year were members of the Senior Council who were elected from each home-room. The Council met at regular intervals during the year and with the advice and guidance of Miss Groves, have solved many of the class problems. One of the most important undertakings of the Senior Class was the publication of the yearbook by the Crimson J staff, with Cynthia Woods as Editor-in-Chief. The appreciation of the Senior Class for the splendid assistance and guidance of Miss Groves, the class dean, cannot be fully expressed. Her helpful kindness in dealing with the problems of the class will long be remem- bered by every Senior. 21 THE CRIMSON J i 1939 SENIORS Catherine Ruth Angel Dark Angel John Armstrong She Loves Me Not Russel Armstrong Safety In Numbers Duane Artz “I Live For Love Lloyd Bacon Hallelujah I'm A Bum Bill Baldwin Robin Hood Eugenia Rowena Barber Blonde Bombshell Mary Barber Blonde At Work Betty Jane Barnes I'll Take Romance Virginia Basham The Girl Was Young Arthur Fred Batz The Perfect Alibi Ethel Mae Baxter Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm Charles E.

Under the guidance of Miss Sheppard, the class dean, and the able assistance of the class officers, the Junior Class enjoyed a very successful year. Miss Sheppard has done a splendid job of managing the class and has made this an outstanding year. The Junior Class departed from convention this year and presented two Junior plays, one of which had an all-boy cast and the other an all-girl cast. Those taking part in the girls' play, a comedy entitled Be a Little Cuckoo , were Gwen Schwab, Joan Lukeman, Joan Gilchrist, Mary Winters, and Helen Ingram. The cast of the boys' play, a murder drama entitled The Knothole , was made up of Bob Caldwell, Jack Roy, Bob Allan, Dallas Hagan, Sam Fancher, Billy Plunk, Lee Baptist, Tom Caldwell, and Jack Stevenson. The Junior Council, made up of representatives from each home room, met every week and discussed and decided on all the problems concerning the class. Every Wednesday the Juniors met in the auditorium for a class meeting. A different group was responsible for this program each week, and some very interesting programs were presented. The Juniors have had a successful high school history so far, and every- one is looking forward to next year. 41 JUNIORS Virginia Alexander Robert Allan Harry Allen Ed Anderson Albert Armitage Mary Ator Bill Ator Lucille Aull Mary Bancroft Lee Baptist Charlotte Barber Harold Birk Ardeen Black Marian Botkin Carl Breckon Frances Brown Marjorie Brown Georgia Burmeister Sam Butler Bob Caldwell Tom Caldwell Roberta Canatsey Edith Carter Louisa Carter Malcolm Carter Bill Clayton Catherine Cockerill Virginia Colwell Betty Conover Dale Crowcroft Martha Curry Norma Daly Fay Daniel Emma Darr Sarah Davis Ernest DeFrates Betty Denney Ruth Denney Jacob DeOrnellas Tom Dickman Joseph Doolin Maurice Driver Jean Drury Anna Louise Dugan Marie Fairfield Sam Fancher Hubert Farran John Faugust Dorothy Fernandes Frances Fisher Elmer Fohrell Margaret Foley Louis Foster Eugene French Walter Gaither Marjorie Ganger Jack German Gene Gibbs Mary Louise Gilbert Joan Gilchrist JUNIORS June Gill Eugene Glossop Helen Goacher Bill Goebel Betty Ann Green Ethel Griffin Ruthannette Grogan Margaret Gunn Dallas Hagan Betty Hamilton Philip Hauck Rose Hayes Philip Heneghan Bill Hermann Alford Herrin Evelyn Hills Dorothy Hipkins Dorithea House Trusler Howe Bob Hudson Ann Hurst Rachel Husted Helen Ingram Dale Jackson Lucy Jewsbury Bud Johnson Jim Johnston Billy Jones Warrington Kent Dean Kershaw Angela Killam Leigh Klinghammer Bob Knowles June Kumle Lucille Kumle Helen Lair Mary Margaret Lair James Ledbetter Wilbur Lonergan Jean Livengood Warren Lucas Ed Long Jean Loomis Joan Lukeman Cyril McCurley John McFadden Grace McFarland Mary McGownd Dorothy Jane McPherson Bob Mallicoat Myrna Mansfield Phyllis Martin Eula Megginson Mimi Meyers Pauline Miller William Miller George Mohn Angeline Moore Ed Moore Douglas Norvell Clara Benfcprf Nelms Ry£y J berry EiVgenja Nunes wrepce Nunes ©berjuergi Odaffer Marcy Osborne Marian Parks Amy Pendleton Maynard Pennell Kay Phillips Bob Pine Billy Plunk Bill Postley Bill Prewitt Betty Rae Ragan Bill Randall Denby Ranson Anna Louise Rataichak Alice Reed Martha Reeve Justine Rice Alice Ricks Hobart Riggs Irma Roach Ruth Roach Bob Robinson Irene Robinson Myron Robinson Cecil Robson Jack Roy Melvin Saville Jean Schoenfeld Gwen Schwab Dorothy Scott Frances Shibe Loella Sloan Bill Smith Paul Smith Wallace Smith Floyd Sorrill Harold Spencer Mary Margaret Spencer Otto Spieth Maynard Standley Jack Stevenson Anita Stewart Marcus Strawn Eleanor Strowmatt Earl Sullivan Bob Suryk Bob Suter Jim Swain Bill Taylor Arthur Vorhees George Wayne Walker Geneva Washington Bob Weaver Helen Whitaker Bob Wilcoxen Claribol Wilday Joe Wilkerson Kathryn Williams Mary Winters Louise Wolke Dick Woods Deane Wright THE CRIMSON J 1939 Guy Winks Bob McNeil Blanche Eades Carol Coultas The Sophomore Class The Sophomore Class began its school year with the election of officers. Those chosen were: president, Guy Winks; vice-president, Bob McNeil, secre- tary, Blanches Eades, treasurer, Carol Coultas. These officers have guided the class successfully through the school year. The regular class meetings of the Sophomores were held each Tuesday in the auditorium at which time a variety of programs was presented. William Sullivan as chairman and two members from each of the home rooms composed a council which conducted the affairs of the Sophomore Class. Part of the duty of this group was to plan and arrange the spring party. Much enthusiasm was shown for this event, and all of the students were eager to participate. The Sophomores are looking forward to next year in a big way. All of the students are anxious to help with the preparations for the Prom and are also eagerly awaiting the Junior play that is presented each year. The Sophomore Class wishes to pay tribute to Dick Flynn, a member of the class who passed away during the year. Dick was well known, as he was manager of the Freshman-Sophomore basketball team and took part in many of the school activities. A great loss is felt by the class in the untimely death of Dick Flynn. Miss Perbix is dean of the Sophomore Class, and under her excellent guidance the Class of '41 is expected to be a great success. 45 Sophomores Back Row — Bland. Benson, R.

Johnson The Band Many times during the year the band is called upon to play for various occasions, such as assemblies, football and basketball games, civic parades, and special band concerts. The band has grown and is fast becoming a reputable organization of the school, affecting many of the other activities in some way. Last year the band numbered twenty-three, but this year it has increased to forty-five members. There is also a Junior Band made up of grade school, junior high, and beginners in high school. This band numbers thirty-five. Last year the senior band placed second in class AA at the contest held at Quincy, Illinois. The band also acted as host to the well-known Springfield High School Band of over seventy-five members, the profits of which went into the band fund. This year the band is embarking on a drive for new uniforms to be purchased by the proceeds from band concerts and other performances. The band is under the very capable direction of Mr. Carol Hitchcock, who has done much to bring the band up to high standards. 55 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Back Row—Brazil. Webb. Hauck. Driver. Dawson.

James Lacey The Boys' Glee Club, one of the largest and most popular clubs in high school, has had a very successful year. Meeting twice a week under the capable leadership of Miss Lena Mae Hopper, the boys put on many successful performances both for the school and for the public. In the fall the first big activity of the club was the J. H. S. minstrel. Miss Hopper had charge of the choral work, and all the members of the chorus were chosen from the music clubs. Four members of the club attended the annual state chorus in Champaign which met from November 2 to November 4. Those making the trip were James Lacey, James Coultas, Arthur Moxon and Ben Roodhouse. Soon after the minstrel, practice was begun on a Christmas Vesper service, which was put on in cooperation with the Treble Clef and Girls' Glee Club. In April, a light opera, H. M. S. Pinafore”, was given by the music clubs, in which Arthur Moxon, John Self, and John Clark took the leading male roles. This was followed very closely by the annual May Festival and Concert in which the Boys' Glee Club participated. All these activities, along with performances given for outside organiza- tions and clubs, have gone together to make this year stand out as one of the best in the history of Boys' Glee Club. 56 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Back Row—Knowles.

Miss Helen Holland The purpose of the Commercial Club is to create high standards of business ethics and ideals; to increase the members' interest in business offices, equipment, and systems; and to raise money for the commercial department. The Commercial Club met the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at which times programs, consisting of outside speakers and entertainers, were presented. These speakers gave interesting talks on the different busi- ness houses of the city. The Commercial Club members derived a great deal from the social gatherings, and some of the main events of the year included weiner roasts, parties, and the Commercial Club Banquet. In many instances the club programs, conducted by the president, fane Carter, were put on by the members. The Commercial Club owes its success and development to its advisers, Miss Mildred George and Miss Helen Holland, whose cooperation and efforts have made this club prominent.

' For a whole week the students declared “Leap Week , the boys leaving it up to the girls to anange all dates and pay for them. The week was climaxed by the performances of the play Thursday and Friday nights. The girls on the whole came through in fine style, and this was good publicity for the play, besides being fun for the boys. ‘‘Leap Week was very well given by: Art Moxon, Frances Capps, Joan Lukeman, Dick Rowe, Sara Lee Butler, John Clark, Suzanne Dobyns, Bill Goebel, John Self, Jack Roy, and many other minor characters. The play was written by Miss Brown in fulfillment of part of the require- ments for her Master's degree at Denver University. Much praise and credit is due Miss Brown for her successful production. 58 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Back Row—Haaan, Johnston, Caldwell, Arta. B Miller, Randall, Hill, Jackson, Hapke Second Row—Herron. P.

For many years this club has paid the dues for the National Forensic Charter, and this service is greatly appreciated by all the Speech Department. The debates held this year were on subjects of national and local interest such as the rearmament program, the Mexican oil seizures, mercy killings, and the comparative value of the toothbrush and hairbrush. These programs were planned by Ben Roodhouse and held the interest of the club throughout the year. The annual fall picnic was the initial meeting of the year for a large group of new members, and the club held a spring picnic before the close of school. Under the leadership of Miss Leonhard, the club adviser, and the mem- bers of the varsity debate, the club enjoyed a successful year. 59 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Andrews, E. Tsfixon.

The initiated Greenhand becomes a Future Farmer” after one year of service, and if he has done exceptionally good work for two years, with a high scholastic standing, he becomes a State Farmer. There was only one State Farmer in the club this year, Marvin Martin. Meetings are held on Monday after school and they have various activities such as grain judging, livestock judging, com show, livestock show, basketball and baseball. Mr. Loomis, faculty adviser, assists the boys a great deal in their projects. The Future Farmers' Club of our school well merits our admiration. 60 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Bock Row—Miss Whitaker, Bourne, Woods. Davis, Whistler, McLain, Redding.

President ..............Dorothy Day Secretary Annabelle Williams Vice-President ...Jeanette Whistler Treasurer Beulah Barber The G. A. A is a local branch of the state organization, the Girls' Athletic Association of Illinois. Members include all girls interested in sports, particu- larly baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Various awards are given to those girls who earn them by observing certain health rules, having a perfect attendance, and by acquiring a certain degree of skill in each sport. The first three awards which the girl may earn are numerals, and the fourth is a small symbol in the shape of the state of Illinois. On March 30 of this year, the girls entertained the basketball team of the past season with a dance from 8:00 to 11:00 in the David Prince gym They also attended an annual event, play day, which was held this year at Alexander in April. This year's success of the club in all its activities is due in a large part to its new and very capable director, Miss Dorothy Whitaker. 61 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Back Row—Barnes. Cobb, Black. Poller.

Miss Hopper deserves much credit for the manner in which she conducted this organization. Weekly meetings were held each Thursday after school in the West Study Hall. At the beginning of the school year, a picnic was held in Nichols Park, during which time the new members were initiated. During the school year the club participated in many prominent events. Accompanied by a marimba, the club, acting as an echo choir, gave a de- lightful group of carols during the Christmas Vespers. The members of the club also acted as ushers for the Minstrel and the May Festival, 62 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Hi-y President ............Leonard Staff Secretary .....................Bob Knowles Vice-President ..........Duane Ariz Treasurer ...................Russell Ward The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and communtiy high standards of Christian living. With this purpose behind them the club had a program of varied activities this year. Many of the club members went as delegates to the state conventions of Hi-Y boys at Elgin and Peoria. Paul Findley was state president of the Peoria convention. The Christmas Hop was put on by the Hi-Y Club, and it was one of the most successful dances of the year. The gym was decorated in a very unusual manner following the theme of Ferdinand the Bull . Dancing classes under the supervision of MacMurray girls were held for those boys who didn't know how to dance or who needed improvement. A trip was made to visit the Springfield Hi-Y in March, and the Spring- field boys returned the visit the next month. Playing basketball was the main feature of the meetings. Altogether, the club improved one hundred per cent over last year, and the boys derived much pleasure from the bi-monthly meetings. The club had as advisers the Y. M. C. A. secretary, Mr. A. D, Hermann, and faculty member, Mr. Moore. 63 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Back Row — Marie Fortado, V. L. Souza. Robinson, Minnie Fortado, Wilson, De Frates, E. Ward. Strowmatt, Barber.

The purpose of the club was to promote an interest in the various occupations of the home economics field. The membership of the club included thirty-three girls, all members of home economics classes during the year. An unusually fine program schedule was worked out by Helen Cox and her committee. Outside speakers appeared at the meetings and presented talks on such topics as beauty culture, personality, and the value of home economics in high school. At Thanksgiving the club enjoyed a pot luck supper, and just before Christmas they had a party at which light refresh- ments were served and carols were sung. A Valentine tea and a tea at Easter for the mothers of the club members were the remaining holiday meetings. Among the other activities of the year were a display of inexpensive table settings, a style show illustrating appropriate and inappropriate costumes for various occasions for the high school girl, and a trip to MacMurray College dormitories for the purpose of studying interior decoration. The faculty sponsors were Miss Alice Larimore and Miss Edna Osborne, who did much toward making the club very informative and enjoyable for all members. 64 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Back Row—Mr. Hitchcock, L.

The Orchestra The Orchestra, directed by Mr. Carol Hitchcock, is not a new organization in Jacksonville High School this year. Although it has been functioning for several years, the organization has become more prominent and the 1938-39 season has been one of the most successful. The orchestra has played for various entertainments given by the school and gave a concert in collabora- tion with the band at the end of the year. The orchestra is a growing organization, being replenished with talent each semester by students coming up from the grade schools and Junior High School. The present personnel of the Orchestra is as follows: Violins—William Sullivan, Mary Bentena, John Maguire, Willard Prewitt, Edward Daniels, Roy Edwards, Patricia Warren, G. Coolidge, Junior Lamb, Ruby Newberry, Mary Heaton; String Bass—George Mohn; Clarinets—Peggy Goodrich, Marcella Taylor, Duane Artz, Saxophones —Ronald Erixon, Russell Armstrong; Flute—Betty Peters, Trumpets—Lee Sul- livan, Charles Weigman; Trombone—Roy Webb; Piano—Carl Rieman; Drums —George Green. A small orchestra, composed of George Mohn, Carl Rieman, George Green, Charles Weigman, Willard Prewitt, and Opaline Bishop, vocalist, was inaugurated this year. The group has played for a number of school dances, and is quite popular. 65 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Back Row—Lower v. Clark. Roy. Walker. K Ragan Third Row—M Nelms, P Capps. Baaale, Eades.

Van Noy Speech Club Secretary—Betty Rae Ragan The Speech Club, under the direction of Miss Helen Holland, has been very active this year. The purpose of the club is to train beginners for public speaking, enabling them to make the speech team . The club is organized like a class, and the members are given individual training in speech work. They begin by reading short stories and plays, and then advance to cutting and preparing their own readings. At the beginning of the year Betty Rae Ragan was chosen secretary of the club, her duty being to keep a file of the points acquired by the various participants in speech meets. Out of thirty-five members, about twenty entered the practice tournament at Charleston. Before the finals, every con- testant had to go through two rounds. In this preliminary work, every entry from Jacksonville placed. The two outstanding representatives of J. H. S. at this meet were John Self and Joan Gilchrist. Out of four hundred participants, John Self won third place with his humorous reading, and Joan Gilchrist came through with second place in verse reading. Both of these contestants were competing for the first time. At Bunker Hill, Jacksonville as a school gained enough points to place them third among the schools participating. Many of the members of the Speech Club are members of the speech team, and some of the younger members look like excellent material for future teams. The Speech Club is one of the most worth-while organizations in school, and all the members gain much benefit from the meetings. 66 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Back Row—M Nelms, Lynn, Baaale, Phillips, Ingram, Parks, Rataichak, Myers, Shibe, Shenkle, Grogan.

The first activities of the organization were to vote in and formally initiate the new members. The membership this year approximated sixty students from the sopho- more, junior, and senior classes. Most of the members purchased club pins which were small replicas of the official Tri-Y emblem, which stands for clean living, clean speech, and clean sportsmanship. Under the supervision of the new adviser, Miss Mabel Ruyle, the club enjoyed a very successful year. A variety of programs was presented at the bi-monthly meetings following the banquets which were served in the high school cafeteria. At Christmas Tri-Y joined with Hi-Y and, with the willing cooperation of the whole school, successfully conducted a campaign for money and food which went toward making up a large number of baskets for the needy. Among the outstanding events of the year were an outdoor weiner roast in the fall, a joint Tri-Y, Hi-Y Christmas Banquet, an Alumnae Banquet, and a mock prom in May. The members this year have continued to make Tri-Y one of the school's most desirable and outstanding clubs. 68 features THE CRIMSON J 1939 The 1939 J” Staff Editor-in-Chief................

With the guidance of Miss Margaret Moore, journalistic adviser, and Miss Helen Holland, production adviser, the paper came out regularly each Friday to every student. The entire staff was composed of those interested in journalism plus the advanced typing classes. The unknown author of Archibald Hicks was lucky to be unknown. Articles on tips to girls from the boys, and vice versa, were enthusiastically received by the entire student body. Editorials on conduct in and around the school and community were also an important feature of each week's edition. Looking back over the year's work, the Herald staff is to be congratu- lated for a very successful year. 72 Back Row—Perkins, Self, Miller, Hill, Clark. Front Row—Hall, Mr Johnson, Rogers. Debate Team The Jacksonville debaters have been debating this year on the national subject, Resolved, that the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. The affirmative team was composed of Gratia Hall and Ella Jane Rogers, while John Clark and John Self upheld the negative case. The first tourament of the year was held at Hannibal, Missouri, and was closely followed by a tournament at Lincoln, Illinois, in which Jacksonville took second place. During the next few months Jacksonville attended debate meets at Wheaton, Rock Island, and an invitational tournament at Charleston, in which they had opportunity to compete with a large number of schools. The next important meet was held at Monmouth, and Jacksonville took first place, and soon followed up this victory by placing second at Pinckney- ville. The sub-district N. F. L. was held at Charleston, and Jacksonville placed second. By this victory the Jacksonville squad was made eligible for the National Forensic League Tournament to be held in Beverly Hills, California, in June. Much of the credit for the success of the debate squad should be given Mr. Johnson for his capable work as coach. 73 THE CRIMSON J 1939 or- Back Row—Gilchrist. Bancroft, Ator, Lukeman. Murphy. Roy.

The Minstrel The annual Jacksonville High School Minstrel was presented this year on the nights of November 22 and 23 and included several new features and an unusually large cast. The chorus was selected exclusively from the Boys' Glee Club, Treble Clef, and Girls' Glee Club and was trained by Miss Lena Mae Hopper. For the first time the show was divided into two acts, the first comprising the specialty numbers and the second, an old-time blackface minstrel show Those who appeared on the first part of the program were as follows: vocal solos by Opaline Bishop, Ben Roodhouse, Frances Fisher, Bob Mallicoat, and Genevieve Self; duets by Fran and Porter Capps, Earl Underbrink and Opaline Bishop; trio by Myma, Elsie, and Junior Mansfield; tap solos by Janet Rempke and Ruth Jean Siegfried; tap duos by Mildred Faugust and Ruth Vinson, Cynthia and Pamela Woods, Janie Frank and Richard Allen. Two unusual numbers in this act were James Lacey and Jack Roy, accompanied by a group of ten girls, giving their interpretations of Ten Pretty Girls ; and Genevieve Self and eight selected voices singing Star Dust. Norma Ober- juerge presented an accordion solo during the intermission. The minstrel section, with Mr. Glen Hickle, director of the show, serving as interlocutor, was a big success. The eight end men and the hillbillies, Mary Bagale and Jeanne Lynn, kept the audience laughing continually with their jokes and humorous interpretations of their vocal solos. The blackface comedians this year were Richard Denny, John Clark, George Coraor, Harold McDougall, Ray Brubaker, John Self, Art Moxon, and Bill Randall. 74 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Back Row—M Nelms.

The program featured a vested choir of one hundred and fifty voices, with members of the Boys Glee Club and Treble Clef singing solo and group selections. The Biblical Christmas story, read by John Clark, was combined with carols by an echo choir from the Girls' Glee Club to form one of the most impressive parts of the ceremony. An effective rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah'' was sung by the entire chorus during the course of the program. The service was presented for the public on Sunday, December 18, before an audience of nearly one thousand, and before the high school the following week. The entire production was under the excellent direction of Miss Hopper. The numbers were accompanied by Carol Hitchcock on the violin and Mary Frances Allen at the piano. Miss Beulah Stewart accom- panied the Girls' Glee Club on the marimba. 75 1939 The Senior Play The play chosen for presentation by the Senior Class this year was a mystery drama in three acts, Double Door , by Elizabeth McFadden. It was one of the most important and successful activities of the year and was pre- sented on the nights of February 16 and 17. Outstanding performances by the whole cast in the interpretation of the unusually heavy roles marked it as one of the best plays presented at Jacksonville High School in recent years. The leads were taken by Mary Jo Brown as Victoria Van Bret, the domineering head of an aristocratic New York family, Carol Winks as Caro- line Van Bret, her suppressed younger sister; Dick Rowe as Rip Van Bret, the half brother of Victoria and Caroline, and Helen Feezor as Anne Darrow, whose marriage to Rip was strongly opposed by Victoria. They were admir- abily supported by Bob Oxtoby as Dr. John Sully, Glen Sims as Mr. Neff, Mary Kay Hardesty, Catherine Angel, James Lacey, and Bill Perkins as the Van Bret servants; Ben Roodhouse as Lambert, and John Clark as the minister. Miss Frances Brown directed the cast and deserves much credit for the splendid production. Other members of the faculty and many students served on the various committees, making the play the great success that it was. Kay Hardesty, Helen Feezor, Bol n, Glen Sims. Ben Roodhouse.

The Speech Team The team attended the following tournaments throughout the year: two practice tournaments at Bunker Hill and Charleston, the state contest at Charleston, the sub-district meet at Winchester, the district at MacMurray, and an invitational tournament at Bloomington. Betty Rae Ragan, an outstanding member of the team, won several honors in various contests. She participated in both poetry and dramatic reading divisions and has won the right to go to the National contest. John Self, Bob Oxtoby, and Jack Roy have been proving their versatility in speech work by their victories in the sub-district and Charleston invitational meets. Self won first place with his humorous reading, Oxtoby also took a first in original oratory, and Roy placed in oratorical and dramatic declama- tion. John Clark won the sub-district this year in extemporaneous speaking and is eligible for the National Speech Meet in California because of his excellent work in speech last year. Gratia Hall also did laudable work in this section. Other members of the speech team who have contributed to its success this year are Paul Lindeman, Mimi Meyers and Helen Ingram. Under the able leadership of Miss Holland and Mr. Johnson, the speech team enjoyed an outstanding year. 77 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Back Row—Green, Lowery, Coultas. Carter, Findley, Grogan, Livengood. Roy.

S. Pinafore , one of Gilbert and Sullivan's best light operas. This was the most difficult production that has ever been given by the high school choral clubs. It was presented April 4th and 5th under the capable co-direction of Miss Lena Mae Hopper and Miss Frances Brown. Miss Hopper was in charge of the musical score, and Miss Brown took care of the dramatic work. Miss Mary Frances Allen was the accompanist. The cast was as follows: Ralph Rackstraw.........Arthur Moxon Josephine ...................Frances Capps Sir Joseph Porter........John Clark Buttercup.............Genevieve Self Captain Corcoran........John Self Dick Deadeye..........Bill Goebel Boatswain ...........James Lacey Cousin Hebe.................Helen Feezor The scene was set on Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore of which Corcoran is captain. He had pledged his daughter, Josephine, to marry Sir Joseph Porter, commander of the British navy, but Josephine had other plans. She was in love with Ralph Rackstraw, one of the ship's crew, and he in turn was in love with her. Their plans for elopement were foiled by Dick Deadeye, who revealed the plot to the captain. With the plot in such an entanglement, and Ralph in chains as a result of Sir Joseph's wrath. Buttercup solves the problem by announcing that in childhood, Ralph and Captain Corcoran were mixed, and thus Ralph became Captain, and Corcoran a simple seaman. The curtain closes with the prospect of the marriage of Ralph and Josephine, Sir Joseph and Hebe, and Corcoran and Buttercup. 78 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Left to Right—Moxon, Woods, Caldwell, Ragan, Randall, Lukeman, Allan, Gilchrist Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom The most outstanding social event of the school year was the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom, which was held on April 28 under the capable supervision of Miss Louise Sheppard, the Junior class dean. The Co-chairmen of the event were Bob Caldwell and Bill Randall, assisted by the following committee chairmen: dance—Jack Roy; banquet—Joan Lukeman; program— Joan Gilchrist; publicty—Dallas Hagan; ticket—Bob Pine; check room—Harold Spencer. The banquet, following the theme of April Showers Bring May Flowers , was held in the Masonic Temple. Following the invocation given by Glen Sims, a delicious banquet was served, consisting of fruit juice cocktail, baked chicken and dressing, mashed potaoes, green beans, vegetable salad, rolls, butter, coffee, angel food cake a la mode, nuts, and candy. With Jack Roy presiding over the banquet as Jack-in-the-Pulpit, the following appropriate toasts were given: Bleeding Heart—Bob Allan; Forget-me-not—Art Moxon; Bouncing Betty—Betty Rae Ragan; Aster—Carol Winks; Sweet William—Bill Goebel; Dandelion—Mr. Mutch; Poison Ivy—Ray Brubaker. During the course of the program Genevieve Self presented a vocal solo. The festivities of the evening were continued at McClelland Hall where the dance was held from 9:00 to 12:00 to the Raindrop Rhythm of Eddy Duns- moor with his Ten Men and a Maid. The theme was carried out in the names of the dances, among them being April Showers ', Blowing Bubbles ', and Caught In a Storm . As the evening drew to a close, everyone felt that the 1939 Junior-Senior Prom was one of the most beautiful put on by J. H. S. in a long time. 79 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Back Row—Cincis, Evans, Newberry, Wriaht, Black, Livengood, Husted, Phillipe, Darr, Gilchrist Second Row—Merriman, Ingram, Rataichak, Meyers.

[flay festiva The May Festival, an old tradition of Jacksonville High School, was presented by the Treble Clef on May 4. It was also given on the afternoon of May 5 before the school assembly. The setting for this spectacular event typified an outdoor scene and furnished an appropriate background for the ceremony. Frances Capps was crowned the new Queen by Clara Mae Strubinger, last year's Queen. Her attendants, headed by Genevieve Self, Maid of Honor, were Helen Feezor, First Maid; Rachel Husted, Crown-bearer, and the girls of Treble Clef. Preceding the coronation, the various musical organizations of the school presented a concert. The concluding portion of the program was a group of dances put on by members of the music clubs. 80 THE CRIMSON I Calendar SEPTEMBER 6—Back to school with a flurry of books and happy greetings. 15—Baseball movies shown in first assembly. 21—Mr. Sheppard gave a talk in remembrance of constitution d 22-23—Teachers' institute, a welcome vacation these hot days. 23—J.

As the result of this plan, Coach Walker, by obtaining better prepared material for his athletic squads, has turned out teams that come up to a par with those of larger schools. He obtained his first championship last year in football and this year he had another excellent team in the same sport. He has also brought basketball to the top and had a splendid squad of cage stars this year. Although his track teams have been small, he has inspired them to do their best, and they have done exceedingly well, winning several meets in the last five years. GLEN HICKLE Glen Hickle has been head coach at Homer, Pittsfield, Kinderhook, and Griggsville, at which places he was very successful and received recognition throughout the state. We only hope that Pop will remain at J. H. S. as assistant coach of football for many years to come. Mr. Hickle also teaches chemistry in the high school and has charge of the annual high school Minstrel”. RICHARD WELTY When it was found that Jacksonville High had plenty of work for an assistant coach, they found just the right man in “Dick Welty. Mr. Welty hails from Illinois State Normal University where he starred in track and foot- ball. Here at Jacksonville he has been successful as coach of the freshman- sophomore basketball team, as assistant coach for the football team, as coach of the hurdles on the track team, and as teacher of physiology and general science in the high school. LOUIS OGDEN Louis Ogden, one of the assistant coaches, hails from Western Illinois State Teachers' College where he played football and baseball. Here at J. H. S. Coach Ogden has assisted with football and has had charge of Jack- sonville grade school athletic tournaments in basketball and baseball. Mr. Ogden teachers economics and world history in the high school. 85 Back Row—Horton, Loom� , Ketner, Cisne, Iordan, Oxtoby, Winks, Hudson, Taylor, Staff, Brownlow.

In Central Conference competition, the team lost only to Lanphier, defeated Clinton and I. S. D., and tied Beardstown. The only times the Crimsons were scored on were when they were beaten, and they acquired a total of 51 points to 26 for their opponents. The coaching staff of Walker, Hickle, Welty, and Ogden worked the boys every day after school to obtain this successful team. At the beginning of the season, seven of the eight lettermen on the squad were linemen. The letter- men were Captain Bob Spink, Ray Brubaker, Charles Johnson, Charles Jor- dan, Eldon Wernle, Clyde Vasconcellos, Warren Massey, and Jack Andrews. The season opened with a game against our rival of long standing, Beardstown. The game ended in a scoreless tie and Beardstown kept the jug. The next contest was a conference game against Clinton, with Jackson- ville the victors by a 6-0 score. The three following games with Winchester, Jerseyville, and White Hall ended up with a loss and two triumphs for the Red and White team. The only games played under lights during the year were scheduled with Lanphier and Beardstown. The J. H. S. team played a superb game against Lanphier but came out on the short end of the score, 13-0. Two victories from Carrollton and I. S. D. followed, the latter giving J. H. S. the city prep championship. The annual football banquet was held in the high school cafeteria No- vember 16, with Coach Walker as toastmaster. Clyde Vasconcellos was elected to captain the 1939 Red and White team. We hope that Captain Vasconcellos and his team will have a very successful season, with the following schedule: Winchester, Macomb, Canton, Lincoln, Beardstown, Rush- ville, I. S. D., and Lanphier. 86 Sorrells, D. Jordan, Bacon Wemle, Johnson, Andrews Vasconcellos, C.

Basketba The Crimson basketball squad finished a very successful season with a record of 21 games won and 9 lost. It was a fitting climax to the last season for six seniors, one of whom, Charlie Johnson, played on the varsity for three years and was captain for two. In the regional tournament at Virginia, Jacksonville tramped on their first two opponents and then revenged the defeats at the hands of Bluffs by defeat- ing them 27-20. In the sectional at Taylorville, Jacksonville was defeated in the first round by Gillespie. Floyd Little gave a pretty demonstration of hitting baskets throughout the year by running up a grand total of 235 points. The following boys were awarded letters: Captain Johnson, Irlam, Coultas, Moxon, Little, Sorrells, Chumley, Vasconcellos, Gaitens, Weaver, Underbrink.

Basketball Reserves The Freshman-Sophomore basketball squad had a remarkable record this year of nineteen victories and only five losses. Competition was keen and they put up some very close games against the other schools. For every varsity game played, an attempt was also made to schedule a game for the second squad. Hence they got some very good experience that will prove valuable for varsity squads of the future. Coach Welty was in charge of the members of this group. BASKETBALL SCORES Winchester 13 J.

Softball The Crimson softball team came through their fall season with the championship of the Morgan County Little Seven League in the bag, having won eight games, lost one, and tied one. Doc'' Snyder, ace pitcher, shut out the opposing teams five times and compiled a record of ninety-seven strike- outs in ten games. In the batting department, the team rolled up comfortable margins in most games, being led by the efficient slugging of Joe Wilkerson, average 500; Bob Weaver, .420; Ralph Frye, .385, Philip Hauck, .380; and Don Snyder, .348. The team was coached by Mr. Hollowell. The team will be strengthened for the spring campaigns by additions to the squad of several boys who were members of the football squad during the fall season. It is not too much to expect another championship. The games scheduled for this spring are with Franklin, Waverly, Murrayville. Meredosia, and Chapin. 91 THE CRIMSON J 1939 g—Welty, Walker, Baptist, Wegenoft. Malhcoat. Baker. McFadden, Jones, D. Hudson. Allen. Eldndge, Johnston. Second Row—Fortaco. Farran, Frost. D.

Hudson, Andrews, Johnson, Frye When the squad was called out in the 1938 season, there were only two lettermen available, Harvey Scott and Everett Summers. Coach Walker had scheduled five meets, and to these he was forced to take almost an entire green squad. In the first meet of the year with I. S. D. and Winchester, Jacksonville took second place. The following week the Crimsons again took a second place at the Winchester invitational meet, in which eight other teams were entered. A week later Jacksonville was beaten by Litchfield. Harvey Scott held the spotlight by taking four first places. In the district track meet, Harvey Scott was the only Crimson track man to qualify for the state meet at Champaign. He placed first in the 120 yard high hurdles and second in the 200 yard low hurdles. Summers placed fifth in the javelin. In the Central Conference Meet, Jacksonville placed third with 30 points, Beardstown second with 46‘ 2 points, and Feitshans first with 45 points. Harvey Scott was the high point man of the day with 15 points. He placed first in the 120 yard high hurdles, first in the 220 yard low hurdles, and first in the 100 yard dash. Scott established new records in the hurdle races and tied the record in the dash. Ray Abell established a new mark in the discus by throwing it 110 feet, 4 inches. Other places were as follows: De Frates —fourth in 440 yard run, Crabtree—tie for third in pole vault, Summers—third in broad jump and second in the javelin, Johnson—fourth in the discus, and Andrews—third in the shot put. At the state track meet, Harvey Scott got off to a good start in the high hurdles but failed to qualify for the finals. Letters were awarded to Captain Scott, Summer, Andrews, Abell, and Johnson. 92 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Left to Right—Coultas, Lacey, Art2. Moxon, Findley, Weaver, Mr. McDonald. Tennis The last tennis season was one of the most successful that the Jacksonville team has had in a number of years. Due to the lack of funds, the 1938 teams scheduled only one match. Back Row—Summers, Mr. Agger. Taylor. Front Row—White, Reynolas. Osborne with Litchfield on May 2, which was won by J. H. S. four matches to none. Ten days later another trip to Litchfield for the district meet gained them the championship with all the medals offered. This clean sweep of the district meet allowed all the team members to go to the state meet at Champaign the following week. Jacksonville and Carbondale were the only two schools which sent complete teams to the tournament. Jacksonville, beaten by Oak Park and Carbondale, came out in third place. Letters were awarded to Jim Coultas, Jim Lacey, Art Moxon, Paul Findley, Duane Artz, and Bob Weaver. As all the members of the last year's team were underclassmen, Coach McDonald put an entire veteran team on the tennis courts this spring. Golf The J. H. S. golf team started last season with two veterans, Marcy Osborne and Charles White, and newcomers, Reynolds, Summers, Taylor, and Frye. In the first two matches of the season, J. H. S. competed with Quincy, be- ing defeated by them at Quincy and winning from them at Jacksonville. In the district meet, Quincy was the only other team entered, and Jacksonville took the trophy as a team, while Osborne, White, and Reynolds qualified for the state golf tournament in Peoria. In the state meet, the members of the team were eliminated early in the tournament. 93 THE CRIMSON J 1939 Left to Right—Davies, Hundley, Imboden. Clayton.

For this reason, the majority of girls this year were freshmen and sophomores. Under the leadership of Miss Dorothy Whitaker, their new director, the girls spent a very enjoyable year in the gym classes. The school provided the gym with some new apparatus including a sun lamp, balls, and play- ground equipment. Hygiene was an important study of the year. The girls kept health charts, studied posture rules, and thus became more conscious of physical improve- ment. Their sports included basketball, baseball, and newcomb. Just before the Prom, the class periods were spent in ballroom dancing. Altogether, the girls in the gym classes derived a great deal of pleasure from their various activities. 94 THE CRIMSON I 1939 Haney Clayton Kirkpatrick Waddell Woods Ricks De Frates Cruzan Dingeldein Williams Nunes Hayes Duke Oberjegie Day 95 THE CRIMSON J 1039 AUTOGRAPHIC SfCTlOO vf, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Printing by HUSTON-PATTERSON CORPORATION Decatur, Illinois Engraving by CAPITOL ENGRAVING COMPANY Springfield, Illinois 96 Photography by SPEITH STUDIO Jacksonville, Illinois THE CRIMSON I 1939 Advertisers Page Larson Cleaners...............................98 Lane's Book Store ........................... 98 Merrigan's .................................. 99 Steinheimer’s Drugs ..........................99 Roger's Book Store...........................100 Waddells ....................................101 Long's Drugs.................................102 Hopper's Shoe Store..........................102 Myers Brothers ..............................103 Brady Brothers ..............................103 Brown's Business College.....................104 Walker and Brown.............................104 Schram and Buhrman...........................104 Andrews Lumber Company.......................106 Coca-Cola Bottling Co........................106 Ideal Baking Company.........................107 Telephone Company ...........................107 Lukeman's Clothing Co........................108 Flexner's ...................................109 Elliott State Bank...........................110 DeWitt Motor Company.........................Ill Producers Dairy .............................Ill Henry's Jewelry Store........................112 Earl A.
