The Senior Class of 1948 of KHWiK) (BATEMAKl Presents Volume XXXVIII of the Crimson J Prologue In this, our yearbook, the class of 194$ presents The Newton Bateman Memorial High School as a fitting example of Shakespeare's famous words: AH the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.'' To us, our school is the typical stage and you the actor. Maybe you never realized that you are,an actor or that you play many different parts in your time. We have as our producers the Boards of Education and Control, who make it possible to maintain our stage and to present our many productions. Our directors are our understanding and helpful teachers, who work constantly, always striving to bring out the best in their actors. Each student is listed in the Dramatis Personae. The Mid year Fresh men are the newest addition to our cast. They show promise of capability to hold their own on our stage. On the next step up the theatrical ladder are the Freshmen, serving their apprenticeship. The Sophomores have had two years' stage experience now and con sider themselves old hands. The Juniors act as understudies to the Seniors, carefully watching them to learn the tricks of the trade in order to take over their roles next year. The Seniors are so outstanding that they get to bask in our spotlight of praise for their performances. One page is set aside for sneak snap shots of Senior activities. Bouquets for our leading lady. Miss Leonhard. She really shone in her starring role as our adviser. We have many guilds—our clubs and organizations for bettering our acting and some for our relaxation. Our productions cover such events as operas, vesper services, May festivals, band concerts, and plays. To make you better acquainted with the others, we present snaps of behind the scenes and of the helpers who do so much to make us successful. As one line of recreation we have our athletics—football, basketball, track, and baseball. You can find some farce and comedy in the humor section—the lighter side of our lives, telling of our ambitions, our follies, and our relaxing moments. We then have our patrons, the people who advertise in our book to help support our production—the J. We offer thanks to each of them. Last but not least, on our program are the autograph pages, where we sign our best wishes for our fellow actors' future success in life. w m y-v:i £ £12 V J ■Hw s-.Zi vt VVf.V •• I'lWu • f.'iV • • -vi , ■ . • - • � • • , i t .Hg • .ss :• J • : ;• . •,%N - •;; •;:. i • • 1 ... ’•••. •. ; • . . -j(v.

Debates, general discussions, and extempore speaking are examples of the type of work carried on by this club. Special panel discus- sion groups were also organized for educational purposes. The annual Forum picnic was an occasion at which all members satisfied their joyful anticipation. All the students of J. H. S. owe the Forum a debt of gratitude for their memorable Sadie Hawkins Day celebration and dance. This gala day of wearing old clothes, and reverting to the fantastic customs and manners of the Yokum family added a pleasant variety to the usual school day. They also presented on the radio a discussion on the subject, Making Democracy Live. « 48 � SPEECH CLUB Row 1: Geraldine Cumberland. Nancy Fisher, Mist Coultas, Florence Ritchie. Marilyn Shaifner.

It was organized on request of the students to increase interest in and understanding of all people. Writing to students in foreign countries was the main project of the club. The pen pals of the members represented students of a great variety of nationalities and races. During the club programs members exchanged foreign addresses, gave reports about the countries to which they wrote, and enjoyed music composed by foreign musicians. The letters received from foreign students have proven to be very interest- ing and educational. They seemed to have no conception of the size of the U. S. and were eager to learn all about our customs, occupations, and way of life in general. They were interested in learning about our families and were anxious to exchange pictures and cards. For the most part the foreign per pals seemed to know more about world affairs than the average American boy or girl. Although occasional errors in English produced comical situ- ations, the letters on the whole contained very good English. « 50 � DRAMATIC CLUB Row 1.

The purpose of the Dramatic Club was to train students in the various phases of theatrical production. Although the Dramatic Club was chiefly for freshmen and sophomores, they have allowed a few upper classmen to continue. One of the main projects of the club was to produce and present plays. Participation in these plays gave students excellent experience and helped prepare them for future school productions. Besides the plays the members presented skits, pantomimes, and other dramatic features. Educa- tional demonstrations on such subjects as the art of applying make-up were also a part of their programs. The plays produced by the Dramatic Club were presented at class meet- ings and other school programs as well as at their own club meetings. 51 � Future Homemakers of America Row Is Miss Webb, Mary Jean Walker.

Any boy or girl interested in dancing was eligible to be a member. The club was limited to an equal number of girls and boys so as to give every one a partner. A lesson was given each club period in order to enable the students to learn the various dance steps. After each lesson some time was spent in practicing the newly acquired dance step. The remainder of the period the members enjoyed a period of regular social dancing. Various dance pro- grams were used to mix the couples around in order to have new partners. The Dance Club celebrated the beginning of each school vacation by holding a party. 53 Row 1: Betty Crabbe, Keota Stevens, lecmne Brown Row 2: Georgeanne Lynn, Darrow Steinheimer, Shirleyan Fry. CHEERLEADERS This group of peppy cheerleaders, who even worked during their lunch hour, did a swell job of keeping the students of J. H. S. in a lively and peppy mood. Win or lose, they were right there cheering to the very end. With such a pep squad behind them our teams were sure to win their share of the games. Among other services they originated some very clever new cheers. Since the cheerleaders have been cheering for us all year, let's turn the tables and give a cheer for them and their sponsor.

For special activities they have prepared a box to send overseas, and have held several parties. c 59 � AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Row 1: Vernon Hopper Lewis Brant. Edmund Vorhes. Mr Hubbert.

The programs stressed the learning of code, films on receiving and sending code radio messages, as well as outside speakers who were amateur operators. One of the main activities was to prepare members for the amateur radio operators' examination. This, however, did not exclude members who were not interested in qualifying for the license. Radio operation procedure is so involved all the phases could not be taken up during the regular club periods. To combat this handicap some of the members met several times a week and practiced operation and study theory on their own. A more advanced member of the group was usually in charge of these meetings. « 60 � AERONAUTICS CLUB OFFICERS President Bob Brown Vice-President Wendell Dobbs Secretary Don McNeely Sponsor Mr. Agger The Aeronautics Club was composed of students who had an interest in aviation and wished to learn some of the fundamentals of this field. Some of the topics discussed in their meetings were: theory of flight, flight and engine in- struments, civil air regulations, and navigation. They also en- joyed film strips pertaining to navigation. Row 1: Sam Perkins. Bob Faugust. William Crosson, Wendell Dobbs. Robert Brown, Jerry Reinders, Donald Hegardy, Ronald German Row 2: Joe Wood.

Mrs. Rust The thirty-two members of the Ushers Club deserve a vote of thanks from the entire student body. Whenever an occasion arose which called for usher- ing, they were right there in their crimson and white uniforms, smilingly escorting patrons to their seats. They ushered at all school activities, such as musical productions, plays, special assemblies, home basketball games, and occasionally for outside activities which were held in the J. H. S. auditorium. At the beginning of the year students who desired to become ushers handed their names to the old club members. Following this, the members of the club voted on the new names, and, if these were found to be satisfactory, they became ushers. This process was practiced because it was very neces- sary for all ushers to be capable and dependable people. An annual picnic was held by this club in the spring. « 64 � FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Row 1: Charles Blimling. lim Riggs. Manuel Darush. Dick Hoots, Norman Walker, Bob Atkmson.

The purpose of this club was to encourage high standards of efficiency and achievement in the business world; to instill worthy business ethics and ideals; and to increase interest in modem progressive business systems, materials, and equipment. Talks and demonstrations by prominent businessmen and women filled most of the club programs. Members of the club participated in business plays, debates, and discussions. Each program usually contained several musical numbers or other entertainment. The highlight of the year for Commercial Club members was the Alumni Banquet. This banquet, held at the Dunlap Hotel, not only gave present students an evening to remember but also acted as a reunion for former students. c 66 'T' Jv-V V .

Sylvia Plouer Elizabeth Caldwell Marilyn Kahl Lord Mountarat................Harold Toussaint Private Willis......................Ed Horton lolanthe .....................Florence Ritchie Phyllis......................... Wanda Harrell Lord Chancellor's Page............Bill DeVore Away to Fairyland was a fitting theme for this enchanting opera which was presented by the choral clubs of J.H.S. The splendid per- formance was one of our most outstanding re- membrances of the year. Congratulations to all those who helped to make it such a success. The opera was under the capable direction of Miss Lena Mae Hopper and Miss Betty fane Coultas. The co-chairmen were Marilyn Shaff- ner and Ruth Hunt. lolanthe, a fairy, has been exiled because of her previous marriage to a mortal, but the Queen grants pardon when the fairies plead for her. Strephon, Iolanthe's son, is in love with Phyllis, a ward in Chancery; she loves him in return but knows nothing of his mixed origin. The Lord Chancellor refuses to let Strephon marry Phyllis. lolanthe, while talk- ing tenderly to her son, is seen by Phyllis, who thinks he is talking to a young girl of seventeen. Because of this misunderstanding, Phyllis of- fers to marry either Lord Mountarat or Lord Tolloller, declaring that Strephon is unfaithful. The finale, ending happily for everyone, is typical Gilbert and Sullivan fashion. lolanthe and the Lord Chancellor are re- united, as well as Strephon and Phyllis, after the situation is explained. The Lords marry the fairies after the law is changed by the Lord Chancellor, and everyone flies away to Fairy- land. MINSTREL The 1947 J.H.S. Minstrel opened with a bang, with Mr. Willard Cody again acting as our very splendid interlocutor. The theme this year was School Daze, with Miss Fergene Goddin as the capable directress. The short pants, big bow ties, and bright school dresses of the characters, as well as their lusty singing, brought our School Daze chorus into the limelight. Mr. Welch, our band- leader, did a very good job of directing the chorus as well as playing in the band during specialties. Esther Pond was our featured soloist of the evening, singing That's My Desire and Mis- souri Waltz beautifully; she was accompanied by the band. Our fun-loving endmen were; Zenia (Tom Mills), Aloysius (John Ryan), Lushwell (Jim Birr), Mr. Lopear (Jack Kurtz), Shiftless Jones (Ed Horton), and Mushmouth (Keith Baumann). They entertained us in their best traditional manner with such songs as: “Some of These Days, On Revival Day, Ma Blushin' Rosie, and others. Some of the highlights of the evening were: All I Owe Iowa, a duet; the violin solo, Czardas, and Agile Ferdinand in Glow Worm, but these were only a few. Last but certainly not least, were the Rockets' tapping to Ida. We wish to offer congratulations to all those who helped to make it a success. « 70 � VESPERS Perhaps the most impressive program that the J.H.S. choral clubs pre- sented was the annual Christmas Vespers. The stage was decorated as a church which featured a huge stained-glass window of the Mother and Child with angelic cherubs on either side. The solemnity of the church prevailed as the vested choir carrying tapers entered singing ' Adeste Fideles.'' Some of the outstanding numbers of this successful program were: Fear Ye Not, O Israel, sung by George Fox; “Gesu Bambino. sung by Harold Toussaint with the choir; and O Divine Redeemer, sung by a semi-chorus with Florence Ritchie as soloist. Many other numbers as well as semi-chorus groups contributed to this beautiful Christmas service. President ..... Vice-President Secretary Ass t Secretary Treasurer ...

Merle Swain, Jack Moore, Bill Meyer The Vanderhoff residence was always in a flustrated state of affairs. Grandpa lived in a world of collecting snakes, attended commence- ments, and circuses. Essie's thoughts were with her ballet dancing, and candy that she made. Paul and Mr. DePinna engaged their time in the production of fireworks. Penny was all absorbed in writing plays. Rheba and Donald added a touch of hilarity to the entire scheme. Alice and Tony, the only two sane ones, concentrated their efforts in trying to cul- minate better family relationships. Tony's par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, were the wealthy influence in the play. Kolenkhov invaded the stage with his boisterous Russian dialect. Gay Wellington, who appeared in a constant stupor, captured many laughs from the audience. Olga Katrina proved a royal aspect with her Russian heritage. The G-men turned the whole tide of affairs in the Vanderhoff household. JUNIOR PLAYS Hullabaloo Cast New School (or Wive� Cast This year the Juniors presented three clever one-act plays. This novel idea went over well with the audience. Hullaballo, which consisted of an all-girl cast, was a play centered around an English household and the romance of the daughter. The sewing maid lent a note of the super- natural, as her great great grandmother was said to be a witch. The Lost Silk Hat is set in a fashionable London street. A man left his hat in the home of his lady friend with whom he had quarreled. Feeling a social error to be in the streets of London without his hat and not wanting to go into the house for it, he tried to get four dif- ferent men to get it for him. This situation led to complications as the men had reasons for not getting him the hat. The play was very well performed by an all-boy cast. New School of Wives, performed by a mixed cast, revolved around the Dunlap house- hold. Their daughter and her three friends had just returned from college where each had chosen her particular Type, with the excep- tion of the Dunlap's daughter. This predica- ment added to the hilarity of the well acted play. “The Lost Silk Hat Cast BANQUET AND PROM BANQUET CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN PROM CHAIRMAN Tom Mills Row j.

The theme, Showboat, was cleverly carried out in blue and silver. At the banquet held at the Dunlap Hotel the invocation was given by Mary Helen Potter. Francis Bunch, as Cap'n Andy, proved to be a very able toastmaster. The response to the Junior welcome was given by Senior class president, Robert Patterson. Speeches cleverly carrying out the theme were given by Dick Gruny, Margie Phillips, Alice Pasel and Miss Goddin. Vocal solos of music taken from the popular opera Showboat were presented by George Fox, Dolores Waggner and Wanda Harrell accompanied by Mary Ann DuBois. The Prom followed the banquet at 9:00 in McClelland Hall. Until 12:00 the music of Lou Hahn's orchestra was enjoyed, closing one of the perfor- mances long to be cherished in the memory of all who attended. 74 � MAY FESTIVAL MAY QUEEN AND COURT Queen ...............Georgeanne Lynn Maid of Honor........................ Ruth Hunt First Maid...............Joyce Muehlhausen Second Maid..............Elizabeth Caldwell Crown Bearer..............Mary Ann DuBois The 1948 production of the May Festival presented by the choral clubs of J.H.S. was under the capable direction of Miss Lena Mae Hopper with Noel Rousy and Mrs. Horton as her accompanists. The co-chairmen of this pro- duction were Mary Jane Ore and Betty Shew- maker. This lovely spring festival was given as a matinee to the students in addition to the two night performances on May 6 and 7. In the traditional manner the first part of the program was presented by the first, second, and fourth hour choirs dressed in southern fashion while they performed a boy-girl dance and song number. Dick Gruny acted as mas- ter of ceremonies. The second part of the program was pre- sented by the Senior Choir with Jack Kurtz as master of ceremonies. Among the fine per- formers were: Harold Toussaint, Marilyn Kahl, and Florence Ritchie. The highlight of the delightful production came when our beautiful Queen of May, Georgeanne Lynn, was crowned by last year's sovereign, Doris Souza.

SETTING Jacksonville High School The Time—1947-48 ACT I With an enlightening speech Mr. Agger drew back the curtain for the coming year. Every face in the audience seemed filled with anticipation. Students then attended short previews of theu classes. School finally got underway with the stage set for a successful school year. The actors were ready, and the play began . . . In a special assembly J. Brown, B Crabbe, G. Lynn, K Stevens. S. Fry, and Hot Dog were chosen as cheerleaders. Although we lost our first game, the boys showed their true spirit in the game with Winchester. Our first school dance was a great success, even though Quincy won. Teachers Institute made a timely appearance, and gave us our first breather. (The poor faculty had to keep the show going, though.) Miss Joan Bishop, a former Quiz Kid, entertained us informally by singing and playing her own accompaniment. On October 3 Beardstown again claimed the Little Brown Jug , but the J. H. S. Crimsons jubilantly gained possession a month later. A formal presentation was made in a special assembly. Mr. R. Melville gave an interesting demonstration on glass blowing. He made a glass boat which he presented to the school Mr. C, E. Jones, who has almost become an institution at I H. S.. treated us with a memorable assembly on gyroscopes. That evening blue-jeaned boys and girls joined hands around the bonfire to form our annual snake dance. Homecoming was a splendid affair with Beverly Stoddard reigning as our queen. She was crowned at a dance held in her honor. The only disappointing factor was our defeat by Springfield's Feitshans. Lavinia Scott, a J. H. S alumna and editor of the J and now a missionary-teacher in South Africa, gave a very informational talk on South African schools. 'Tl ? Miss Hopper and her Glee Clubs deserve a grand applause for their colorful production of Iolanthe by Gilbert and Sullivan. Simeon Oliver, better known as Nutchuck,” presented us with an assembly on Alaska. Mr. Oliver is an accomplished pianist and played several numbers of his own arrangement. To the joy of everyone the Minstrel was finally ready for open- ing night. Those Endmenl They must live in a world of their own—what world? The Vespers added to the Christmas spirit with one of the most impressive programs of the year. The annual Christmas Dance, quite a festive one, was held at the new Y”. Christmas vocation was wonderful, but the shadow of coming semester exams cast a blight over all of the gaiety. The exams came and went, and most of us survived. Mr. Agger then lowered the curtain for a short intermission. ACT II The house lights dimmed, and the curtain rose on the final act of Brief Encounter. Our first main event was the Senior Play, You Cen t Take It With You. Miss Coultas, Miss Leonhard, and the cast certainly came through with a great success. The J. H. S. Crimson? brought home a first-place trophy from the regional tournament, presented to Mr. Agger and the school by Farrell Mitchell on behalf of the team. Lady Luck deserted us, though, on Wednesday. March 10, when we lost the sectional to Beards- town Mr John Sloan presented us with a frosty demonstration on the wonders of Liquid Air —banana hammers and everything. On March 19 the halls of J. H. S. underwent a surprising trans- formation. Its inhabitants brought to life many of our comic strip characters. The explanation—you guessed it—Sadie Hawkins' Day! The traveling Glee Club from Illinois State Normal Univer- sity paused here to give us a sample of their vocal accomplish- ments Easter vacation, March 26-29, provided us with a pleasant pause that refreshes. James Dutton, artist-teacher of the marimba, visited us on April 6 and gave us several renditions on his instrument. The Junior Play was presented in a little different manner this year. We had a triple treat. Instead of just one play there were three— New School For Wives , Hullabaloo , and The Lost Silk Hat . Mr. Mu8selman, who is quite an authority on birds, confirmed the coming of spring with his lecture and pictures of birds. The Junior- Senior Prom was one of the highlights of the year. Congratulations to the Juniors on a iob well done! Georgeanne Lynn reigned as Queen of the May at our annual May Festival. Or Senior SkiD Day, the day when Seniors have a legitimate excuse for being absent, the Seniors packed up their old kit bags, and set out for Pere Marquette State Park. A more solemn expression prevailed at Baccalaureate as the Seniors realized their high school days were drawing to a close. V The Seniors had their last get-together before commencement at the Senior Love Feast. May I borrow your fountain pen? was a much used question on the 25th of May. (The J's came out) We donned jeans and plaid shirts again for a wonderful day at our all-school picnic. Then came commencement. One by one the Seniors, in caps and gowns, received their diplomas. They walked off the stage with heads high, a new light in their eyes, to take their places in adult society.

Kraushaar The Jacksonville High School Crimsons did not make their best record in the 1947 season, but they did show determination and used the material they had to advantage. The squad was strong in the backfield but could not click on the defensive. As a result, they lost several games. At times, even though defeated, they played an excellent game, notable among which was the one against Quincy. Coach Kraushaar had two capable assis- tants in Mr. Wimberly and Mr. Patterson, the latter coaching the B squad.
