In lllemoriam to Ivans Her graduation is over: She has embarked on the way. Not to strive {or fame and success But to live an endless day. Hallowed be the road that is hers. For friends on earth she has left. She lives in a mansion on high; Her memory from us has not crept. In all that she did and said. We think how she showed us God's love. Her beauty, friendliness, and cheer Will be rewarded above. Her memory remains in this book. For her hands made the cover Which crowns her story on earth. God bless her for another! 8 Ā We, the Senior Class of 1953, sins cerely dedicate this Crimson J to our wonderful class adviser. Miss Frances Webb.

We now present Mr. Agger, who has guided us throughout our four year tour. His coopera- tion in school activities, his interest for those things which would be beneficial to us, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his duties, will long be remem- bered.

In our opinion they are two of the finest coaches Jacksonville and the surrounding area have even seen. Coach Chapman VARSITY TEAM r t | • 1 A - Y I Coach Kraushaar The Crimsons once more proved themselves a great basketball team by winning a much coveted berth in the Sweet Sixteen . The squad that repre- sented J. H. S. in Champaign, Illinois, consisted of Ed Harrell, Roger Ezard, Ike Wright, Dick Beasley, Bob Stansfield, Dick Barnes, Bob Scott, Bill Jordan, Jim Beck, and Edwin Batley. Up to the finish of the Sectional Tournament, held at Quincy, Illinois, these boys compiled the amazing record of twenty-five wins against only three losses. The fine backing that the team received from the student body and the local fans proved indeed that they were proud of this year's Crimsons.

To quote many people and their beliefs, we feel fairly sure that our Junior Varsity will continue to uphold all of the high standings that Crimson teams are beginning to achieve.

Miss Goddin (Adviser) President Gary Curtis Vice-President Betty Birdsell Secretary and Treasurer Nita Baker The Speech Club, directed by Miss Goddin, is a very active organization which takes the place of a speech class and becomes more successful each year. The Speech Club this year had many distinctive pro- grams, one of which was Miss Jo Ann Winstead, a former student of J. H. S., who always presents a very interesting program to the club. From the Speech Club come a few students who participate in all major speech events throughout the year. The J. H S. speech entries in the district meet, which was held in Jacksonville, were Barbara Whalin, original oration, extempore speaking; Estelle Whelan, original monologue. Carol Bishop, serious prose reading; Sue Hackett, comedy prose reading; Ed Foreman, extempore verse reading. Jim Symons, radio speaking; and Bob Black, oratorical declamation Special congratulations go to Barbara Whalin, Carol Bishop, Estelle Whelan, Jim Symons, the One-Act Play, and the Debate Team, who represented our school in the sectional tournament which was held at Petersburg. Illinois. The One-Act Play this year, coached by Miss Janes, was Seven Women , a comedy by James Barrie. Janet Dunlap played the part of seven women with a sup- porting cast of Ed Foreman, Sally Gibson, Delores Acres, and Jim Symons.

Few realize the many extra hours necessarily spent by these girls so that we might receive our copies on time. ADVISER Mrs. Baptist, the able adviser, has patiently answered guestions, settled arugments, and worked faithfully with all the staff to help make our Herald what we want and like. With a new {ace and several new additions along with the old stand-bys every issue of the Herald holds in store big surprises so we all look forward to those Fridays, that period, when we receive it. We like that new Fifth Column written by that unknown busybody who reports the latest gossip in every class, and the Kollege Komer by Jo Stafflebach telling interesting facts on midwestern colleges. Of course, many of the old stand-bys have been given excellent treatment by the staff. The editorials are always timely and well writ- ten; Senior Spotlight , a description of a sen- ior boy and girl; The Ramblers where Jim Symons tells us all about the wins and losses in our sports world; all these regulars have been well done. In fact the Herald has kept the student body well informed in every depart- ment from music to gossip. Each staff member deserves a lot of credit for making the Herald what it is, but special credit should go to the faithful associate edi- tors, Frances Marshall and Doris Jean Godfrey, and the dependable typists, Beverly Huffman and Loice Barnes. Among their many other activities, the staff was represented in Champaign last fall at the press conference. The staff of this year has added to the past success of the Herald and has proved its ability by excellent publications.

Student Council, as the governing body of J. H. S., is composed of representatives from each home room. This year Council success- fully sold red-and-white pompoms. Along with the J'ettes, Student Council sponsored home- coming. All after-game dances and the annual Christmas dance was sponsored by the Council. At the Christmas dance, the first snow queen was crowned. During the March of Dimes Drive, Student Council had charge of the booths on the square for a day and collected ninety-one dollars. At the end of the year, a picnic was held at Nichols Park. Students par- ticipated in sports such as tennis, golf, swim- ming, and baseball. This was climaxed by a dance in the park pavilion.

Illinois State Normal University awarded us a second place trophy for the best all around band, which was ably led by Donna Thomas. This is the first time in the history of the school that the band has won a rating. A thirty-five piece combo was used for the basketball games. The band was invited to give a concert for the Morgan County Teach- ers' Institute, which is considered quite an honor. In all, the band played for six football games, five parades, four rallies, and five concerts. It practiced thirty-four mornings for two hours, and marched a grand total of 154,373 steps. Whew!! A new band council was organized to establish a merit and demerit system which requires 1300 merits for an award. Director MR. WELCH MEMBERS Piccolo: Marian Corey.

Ā« 96 Majorettes and Flag Corps CONTEST WINNING FORMATION Ā« 97 Ā Snickers Step right up, folks, to see the greatest show in all the land'' was the cheer of the barker as the Big Top flags started flying and spot lights flashed on, to present a minstrel of spectacular talents and side-splitting fun. The big clowns seemed to laugh and tease with our own clowns, Joe Birdsell, Roger Con- nell, Harry Heuston, Larry Ing, Jim Otto, and Jim Willard. Our big names were presented by our Ring Master , Carson Steinheimer. Mr. Lawler's quick tempo chorus spread the circus time atmosphere through the auditori- um, with the backdrop and costumes blending. The Rockettes started the show with their Baby Me and gave the event a perfect climax with Good-Bye My Lady Love . Jimm Wil- lard's They Go Wild, Simply Wild, Over Me shot the high billing, as did Jim Beck’s It's In The Book . Our Broadway Indians , Nita Baker, Jo Staffelbach, Kenton Dawson, Dean Perkins, Jim Steelman, and Jim Williamson pre- sented some long remembered dances as their well-coordinated bodies moved symbolically. These were only a few names, of the many, that will be remembered as sharing the lime- light, working, laughing, and cooperating un- der the steady guidance of our advisers to make our Big Show the best to find its way into our lives through Candyland . ADVISERS The able minstrel committee headed by Miss Goddin consists of Miss Richards, Mrs. Van Bebber, Miss Groves, Mrs. Baptist, Mr. Lawler, and Miss Self.

Ā« 100 Ā TENNIE-WEENIE CHOIR MUSIC CONTESTANTS VESPERS On the Sunday afternoon of December 14 the huge stage, lit brightly with candles, seemed to become brighter as the glow of Christmas lights and candles began to illumi- nate the auditorium, and as Charlotte Hoag- land softly played the piano, the voices of our A Cappella Choir, under the direction of Fred D. Lawler, filled the air with the traditional professional of Adeste Fidelis A feeling of the serenity of Christmastime fell upon all ob- servers as Laura Smith sang ' Ave Maria and Carol Clayton sang The Holy City . The Lord's Prayer , sung by Larry Ing, truly brought a hush over all the auditorium. The Girls' Ensemble gave both lively and solemn selections with perfect blending of notes. Both numbers, O Holy Night sing by Eldonna Oyler and Angels From The Realm of Glory by Carol Bishop kept the true Christmas mean- ing in all listeners' minds. Joe Harrell earned recognition with his solo, Bethlehem . The choir concluded a series of numbers with the never replaceable Hallelujah Chorus . The recessional then followed with the choir hold- ing candles as they walked down the aisles, bringing a close to another annual vespers program. GIRLS' ENSEMBLE Ā« 101 Ā PINK MAGIC Pink Magic , a comedy in three acts by Merritt Stone and Floyd Crutchfield, was presented by the juniors on February 4 and 5. The play, based on the novel of the same name, was directed by Miss Ann Janes. Lambie Prowder, daughter of a famous anthropologist, and her sophisticated friends, Horty and Comey, have been sent with their chaperone, Mrs. Candee, to study art in Mexico City. The girls, however, are less interested in art than in romance. Lambie's chance acquaint- ance with Kimball Colby brings an invita- tion from his mother to a party at her home. Before leaving for the party, near- sighted Lambie loses her glasses. As a result, she spends the entire evening with Wally Grant whom she has mistaken for Kimball. Meanwhile, Kimball becomes attracted to Comey. Wally likes Lambie very much and has his sister invite her to the ballet with them. Due to a mix-up in names, Comey receives the invitation. Wally brings Comey home and finds Lambie in jeans and curlers sitting in the patio. All difficulties are settled by the time the girls must return to the United States. George Crater, a friend of the Colbys who has fallen in love with Can- dee, decides to accompany them on their trip. While Kendall escorts Comey to the airport, Wally and Lambie remain behind for a final farewell. CAST Ursula (Lambie) Prowder . Diana Dawdy Cornelia (Corney) Baker ..

Miss Fergene Goddin directed the play which was adapted from the musical comedy by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Annie, shy and awkward, first appeared with some quail which she tried to sell to the hotel proprietor. Frank Butler had just arrived in town with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and had challenged any local person to a shooting match. Annie, the contestant, defeated the self-confident Mr. Butler. Annie, in love with the hand- some sharpshooter, went limp every time she looked at him. Frank began to like Annie too, then a crisis developed. A rival troupe had beaten Buffalo Bill to town and he needed to catch the public fancy. He gave Annie a spectacular stunt, making her the star. Instead of delighting Frank and causing him to propose, it re- sulted in him angrily leaving the show. After miserable months of separation, they met again. However, the same argu- ment arose—which was the best shot? They decided to shoot it out. Chief Sitting Bull, realizing that if Annie won the match she'd lose Frank, bent the front sight of her rifle. ā€œRemember, he said, ā€œYou can't get a man with a gun! Annie lost the match but won Frank for life. Annie Oakley ----- Frank Butler...... Dolly Tate........ Winnie Tate ...... Tommy ............. Charlie Davenport Foster Wilson..... Jessie ............

Ā« 103 Ā An Enchanted Evening March 27 was An Enchanted Evening to long be remembered in the hearts of the seniors. The 1953 Prom and banquet was a memorable success due to the capable direction of Mrs. Erma fohnston and the co-chairmen, Nancy Chapman and Don Anders. Both events took place in me exquisite McClelland Hall on trie iovely MacMurray College campus. The banquet was appropriately begun with an invocation by Carol Crawford. Toastmaster, Don Anders, set the back- ground for the evening by telling of Mag- ic In the Night. Bob Scott, junior class president, verbally gazed upon a New Moon . While the senior class president, Jim Beck, foresaw a Full Moon . The atmosphere of the theme was perfectly captured in Laura Smith's vocal rendition of Some Enchanted Evening . Miss Fran- ces Webb, senior class adviser, told of Shining Stars , then Nancy Chapman concluded the program for the Junior- Senior Banquet. Dancing began at nine o'clock to the romantic music of Charles Rodgers' or- chestra. This was truly An Enchanted Evening. PROM CO-CHAIRMEN Nancy Chapman Don Anders COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN Robert Smith.

From a beautifully decorated stage, an outstanding program was presented. A musical legend, Johnny Strangerā€, was given featuring Larry Ing as Johnny and Harry Heuston as the Narrator. Charlotte Hoagland and Bob Engebrecht presented a two piano arrangement of Rhapsody in Blueā€, with the chorus added in the finale. The combined glee clubs sang such numbers as Tea for Two , Listen to the Lambsā€, and Salangadou . PRING JUBILEE Ā« 105 Ā SADIE HAWKINS DAY Sadie Hawkins Day is an annual affair at J. H. S. which is anticipated by all the students. It is the one day a year when a gal can get herself a man! Sadie Haw- kins is sponsored by the Forum club. An advertising skit was presented in assembly. It depicted the frustration of Li'l Abner when Daisy Mae came to take him to the dance. After the skit, the offi- cial proclamation of Sadie Hawkins Day was read. Sadie Hawkins Day witnessed girls wearing blue-jeans and bright colored shirts to school and the boys bedecked in everything from pajamas to dresses. The Forum club sold hitchin' papers and earrings to girls which were used as a means of identification for each couple. Classes weren't as quiet and attentive as usual and teachers seemed a wee bit more grumpy than they are normally. The climax of Sadie Hawkins Day was the dance that evening held in the gym which was appropriately decorated for the occasion. A marriage ceremony per- formed by Marryin’ Sam highlighted the evening's program. The fellows consumed an enormous amount of refreshments since their gals had to foot the bills . 106 Ā Row 1: Mrs Maurer, Mrs Young. Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Riggs.
