THE DOORWAY OF ENCHANTMENT t e Seneat dedicate this, our yearbook, to MISS MABEL RUYLE who, during our eventful years in J. H. S., has been our friend and constant helper. We shall never forget her kind- ness, understanding, and companionship. « 6 � T edicatiM, This section of our yearbook is devoted to you, the administrators. The quotation states a well found truth in J. H. S. We have an excellent administration, and we have splendid cooperation. There is friend- ship and understanding between the ad- ministrators and students. We shall long remember our superintendent, our princi- pal, and our teachers for their devotion to our best interests. EDUCATION IS NOT A MERE OPERATION; IT IS COOPERATION.

The senior council, with the aid of the advisers and officers, sponsored a homecoming float and book cover, Christmas card, and Sunshine note sales. They chose and ordered the announcements and directed a glorious skip day. « 27 � Our Choice Charles Covey Keota Stevens Charlotte Dietz Francis Bunch Alice Pasel Francis Bunch, our class prexy all four years, was voted by the senior class as the most popular boy and the boy with the best leadership ability. Charles Covey was selected as the boy most likely to succeed. This year Charles was president of student council, vice-president of the senior class, and a business manager of the J. The class voted Keota Stevens the most popular girl. Keota's ability as a cheerleader has been proved in the last two years. A very capable leader is Charlotte Dietz. During her four years in J.H.S., Charlotte has been chairman of many committees, active in dramatics, interested in science, and a class leader. Alice Pasel, new to our school last year, has shown her willingness to get ahead and to do work beyond what is required. There- fore she was elected the girl most likely to succeed. Success to each of you in your future years. « 28 � D. A. R. Award Winner Alice Pasel Wanda Harrell Charlotte Dietz Each year the Daughters of the American Revolution honor one girl, selected from the senior class, to receive the D.A.R. award. This award is based on dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. The aim of this project is to build youthful character and to call attention to those qualities which are desirable in good citizens. Each student in the senior class voted for three senior girls, who he be- lieved were best qualified as good citizens on the basis of the four points above. From the three girls receiving the highest number of votes, the faculty selected one girl to represent the class as their Good Citizen. This year Charlotte Dietz received the coveted award. Alice Pasel and Wanda Harrell deserve very worthy mention as they were defeated by only one vote. « 29 � VALEDICTORIANS Charlotte Dietz - Jerrie Wood Violet Davis Congratulations to Charlotte, Violet, and Jerrie, the valedictorians of the Senior Class. We think it most unusual to have three girls who have kept up the good record of straight A's for all four years in high school. You have established a fine record, and your class is proud of you. « 30 � HONOR STUDENTS Row 1: Sue Hammitt, Marilyn Crain, Jacques Kozub, Lucy Lawless, Doris Liter, Violet Davis, Dolores Reynolds.

Monsieur De la Croix As the curtains open, we find the Steward ushering in Mr. and Mrs. Otis Skinner who are saying good-bye to their only daughter, Cornelia, and her best friend, Emily. The girls are excited at the thought of sailing to France by themselves. While Emily is trying on a life preserver for size, Dick Winters, a Harvard medical student, passes the door. A friendship soon develops. The entire trip is filled with many trying experiences. When the boat docks the girls say good-bye to Dick and Leo. They go immediately to a small hotel in Paris. Here Cornelia comes into contact with Cardinal Richelieu's bedbugs. She also learns that Monsieur De la Croix is only interested in her because he wants her father to help him get on the American stage. With all the con- fusion, the girls have a wonderful time. They hope they will be able to go back to France sometime—but they will never be nineteen again.

Laughter and applause filled the auditorium on the nights of February 10 and 11 as the J.H.S. Juniors presented the sparkling comedy, A Date With Judy. Judy (Esther Baptist) is determined to solicit the most contributions to the Community Relief Fund—the winner to be queen and lead the grand march at the school dance. Because soliciting is too slow, she enters various contests to raise some quick cash. Unfortunately, she uses her parents' names which causes disastrous events. Judy's father (Russell Heaton) wins honorable men- tion in a nation-wide contest for “the most kissable lips.” The true confession story entitled, I Am A Bigamist gets mixed up with Mrs. Foster's (Jean Thorn- ton) speech to the P.T.A. When Mrs. Foster is unable to give the speech herself, it is read by Mrs. Schultzhammer (Tommie Burks). Meanwhile Judy has been trying to interest a theatrical producer (Ben Nunes) in giving her and Mitzi (Betty Jane Willard) jobs as actresses. Then Oogie (Walter Dieckamp) barges in and tells Judy he has accepted Tootsie's invitation to the dance. Life has now reached a tragic point for Judy; yet before the evening ends, she makes a new conquest, is mixed up in a near elopement, and finally goes to the dance with Oogie to be crowned Queen. Supporting parts were taken by the following: Randolph, the kid brother, Bill DeVore; a fluffy little minx, Pam Sims; a belligerent cook, Rosalyn Nunes; the washer woman, Elynor McFadden; her snub-nosed daughter, Marlene Dennis; a new boy in town, Don Henderson; his kid sister, Suzi, Reva Hunt; a radio announcer, Bob Brown. « 44 � “MAKE BELIEVE” GENERAL CHAIRMAN GENERAL CHAIRMAN Bob Brown Sylvia Plouer TICKETS ORCHESTRA PUBLICITY Marilyn Walter Elizabeth Lacy Dieckamp Newberry DECORATIONS BANQUET PROGRAM Shirley Nancy Pat Evans Gibson Hughes Others find peace of mind in pretending, couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we . . Make Believe,'' the fanciful theme chosen by the Juniors for this year's Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, proved to be very enjoyable. The affair was held on April 1, at McClelland Hall of MacMurray College. At the banquet, toastmaster Bob Brown, as Aladdin, introduced Jean Thornton who gave the invocation. Francis Bunch, Charles Grant, Miss Mabel Ruyle, and JoAnn Winstead then gave talks based on a mythical theme. Make Believe music was presented by Cynthia Caldwell, Sylvia Plouer, Charles Grant, Mary Ruth Hayes, and Pat Hughes. From 9 to 12 we all enjoyed dancing to the strains of music played by Charlie Rodgers and his orchestra. Thanks to the Juniors for a Prom long to be remembered. « 45 � SOPHOMORES This section we devote to you, the class of 1951. Two full years at J. H. S. lie behind you.

We hope the SIL- HOUETTE of the good times spent at the lockers will be one of those little things worth remembering. Again we say, suc- cess to you in all you undertake. ‘ALL THINGS I THOUGHT I KNEW; BUT NOW CONFESS THE MORE I KNOW I KNOW, I KNOW THE LESS. Sophomores Helen Abbott, Mildred Alexan- der, Nellie Aired.

This year Florence Ritchie and Shirley Taylor were the very capable co-editors, as- sisted by Mrs. Isabel Baptist, the ad- viser. The other members, aside from those that have columns, served as re- porters. They covered special assign- ments for the issues.

It is com- posed of one representative from each home room. This representa- tive gives suggestions offered by his room to the Council. These are dis- cussed and voted upon. The Council acts as sponsor for the school dances. Council sponsors are Mr. May and Mr. Flynn. At the recent meeting at Gales- burg, Illinois, of the Pekin District I.A.S.C., three students were hon- ored with offices from Jacksonville.

OFFICERS Sylvia Plouer JoAnn Winstead Elizabeth Newberry « 79 � “SHOW BUSINESS” The evenings of November 23 and 24 were two nights of fun, frolic, and fine talent, as J.H.S. presented its annual minstrel show. The theme was Show Business, and it perfectly fitted the hilarious event. Willard Cody served as interlocutor, urging the end men on to their pranks and antics.

This year he was fortunate in having as his assist- ants Harold Wimberly and Farrel Patterson, both popular as teachers and as coaches. In addition to their work in major sports each coach found time to help in intramurals and in all other school activities. MANAGERS Arnold Mayer Jimmy Meyers Jerry Omundson Here are the boys who kept the Crimson equipment in order. The end of a game or practice session was just the beginning of their work. These three boys, who worked hard under difficulties, deserve more credit than they re- ceived.

We should rank them highly as far as cooperation, team work, and good sportsmanship are concerned. These fel- lows accepted defeat as well as victory, and we are all proud to say they were fighting under the Crimson colors. We will look forward to seeing some of the players back again next year.

Having started the basketball season in great form by winning their first three games, the Crimsons were then overtaken by a losing streak. Although they did not make their best record in the 48-49 season, they did show deter- mination and used the material they had to advantage. The Crimsons did come to life in the district basketball tourney but were defeated in the finals in an overtime thriller with Chambersburg. TO THE VICTORS BELONG THE SPOILS” « 93 � G. A. A. The extra-curricular girls' sports is guided by the Girls' Athletic Association which is af- filiated with the state-wide organization of the Illinois League of High School Girls' Athletic Association. The object of the League is to stimulate interest in girls' athletics and to in- still the ideals of sportsmanship and healthful living which may be practiced in later life. To be a member any girl must have passing grades, participate in at least one team activity, and have an annual health examina- tion. Every Monday and Wednesday after school there were activity periods including soccer, volleyball, basketball, swimming, bowl- ing, softball, tumbling, and kick-baseball. There were business meetings every second and fourth club period. G.A.A. entered the state-wide bowling and basket-shooting contests sponsored by the League. The members enjoyed a play-day at Milton, Christmas party, weiner roast, formal initiation party, roller skating party, and a local play-day.

So let us look at the biggest joke of all, ourselves. If you will just follow me, we shall take one last look at these halls—our home for the past one, or two, or three, or four (or five) best years of our lives. Let us step into some of the classrooms we have learned to love (ha, ha) and remin- isce on the good old days. Well, here we find one of those exceptionally brilliant Latin classes. Un- fortunately, this seems to be one of those “off days. Mrs. Savage is trying very hard to pull answers from the forgotten comers of the brain. Let's listen— “Charles Covey, will you please translate, ’Pas in Bello'? “Hm-m-m—Let's see—Oh yeah! It's freedom from indigestion! Egad! Did we say brilliant? Oh well, everyone makes a mistake once in a while. Let's quietly leave so as to not disturb the excellent recitation. Well, well, well. What is this? We seem to have stumbled into an English class. Now, now, don't shove. Just stand quietly and lend your ear to this interesting discussion. Oh, I forgot to mention. This is Miss Ruyle's first hour English class. Now, sh-h-h-h. . . and now, let's see who's on his toes. As you know, a woman is called a widow if her husband dies. Now, if that's true, what is a husband called if his wife dies?—What? Only one person knows. All right, let's hear your answer. “That's easy, anybody knows that he's called a bachelor. That's all, let me out! Whew! How about tripping merrily up the stairsteps to the third floor. Be careful now! Merrily might get tired of being tripped and trip you. Now before us we can see the well known “305-A. This is the room where some people, who dare to take three years of mathematics, come each day to match their genius for numbers, letters, and bubble gum champions. What's this? The Idddies are being handed back papers. Just look at those remarkable scores; almost everyone has a letter “F.” It must stand for “fine. Oh! Oh! There seems to be a dispute between Miss Evans and Pam Sims over something. Quiet! . . but gosh, Miss Evans, I don't think I deserve this “F on this test. Neither do I, Pam, but it's the lowest grade I am allowed to give. Tch! Tch! Problems besides those in numbers. Hey! As long as we're in this part of the building, let's stop in for a short visit with “Pop Hickle. I hope the class isn't making any hydrogen sulphide. That stuff smells like rotten eggs. Lucky for us he is just in the middle of one of his stirring lectures. . . and then there was the one that just got away last summer when I was fishing in Minnesota. I had been over all this bank for seven hours without as much as a nibble, when all of a sudden he hit! It took me another seven hours to get him up to the side of the boat. It looked to me as if he was at least twelve feet long. Maybe the water had a little magnifying power; I really couldn't say. Anyhow, just as I was about to land him, he threw the hook and—Bill Hapke! Are you passing notes again? “No, Pop, these are being passed to me. “Oh! That's okay then—Let's see, where was I—Oh, yes.—He threw the hook and I— a . i Hey, our time is running short. I'm terribly sorry but we'll have to miss the rest of this discussion. And now, as our little tour is drawing to a close, let us stop for a moment. Gather round to read this handwriting on the wall. « 102 � Here's an adventurous person. Listen to what he wrote— I jump with glee, I dance with joy; Cause I was here before Kilroy! A'ha! Looks like we have a poet here, right in our midsts. Just hear this little diddy— ipsi dip et quitsy lip rip rip rumdy de et fiddle dee dee si si loo de roo et roo lee too moo moo la dee da et rah de sah ha ha What a poetic soul! Such style and beauty 1 have never seen. It is a master- piece of rhythm and reason. Well, here is one more epitaph on this wall. Oh, it seems to be a riddle. Let's see— ”1 stood on the bridge at midnight And tickled her face with my toes, For I am a little mosquito And I stood on the bridge of her nose. How clever! How fascinating. These writings survive all my wildest dreams of a well spent past-time, (and the destruction of public property). Too bad, but I'm afraid they'll all come off in the wash. Before you leave, I've got some more really cute things I overheard. These kiddies at J.H.S. are certainly on the beam. Circulating among these brain children are little words called “funny bunnies. In case you ain't as yet been acquainted with these little creatures, let me be the first to introduce them. They are rhyming definitions to words or a group of words (take your pick). Let me just give you an earful of them. What is— An embarrassed European? A blushin' Russian An egotistical insect? A snootie cootie A pig that has fallen off the roof? A shakin' bacon A movie star's fur coat? A Grable's sable Some fun! Try to make a few of your own. They're easy once you get the jist of it. Well, as I said before, time is running short. I think we may have time to pay one more visit to somebody's room. How about this one— This is great! It's Mr. Moffitt's room. Let's poke our head in, and listen to the latest report. Mr. Moffitt is delivering an oration to the class—. Wait a minute. He's stopped talking—Egads, he's got his finger pointed at Jacques Kozub— ”—Jacques, why aren't you taking notes on my lectures? “Oh, I don't need to, sir. I always keep my notes in my head. “I see! Knowledge in a nut shell. HO! HO! « 103 � ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO THE FOLLOWING: Local Business Men and Women (listed on page 105) for their generous cooperation Huston-Patterson Corporation Decatur, Illinois for the printing Capitol Engraving Company Springfield, Illinois for the engravings The S.
