The main purpose of the Council is to pro- mote a better understanding between ad- ministration, faculty, and students. Student Council, as the student government body of J.II.S.f is composed of representatives from each home room. The Council sponsors all the sch x)l dances, homecoming festivities, the annual Christmas dance, and the school pic- nic as a climax to the school vear. The Stu dent Council also sponsors more serious things, such as a collection of food for the Christmas baskets, the schools March of Dimes campaign, and the publication of the handbook. The Student Council of J.H.S., we can honestly say, plays an important part in our schcx)l program.

Adviser - - - - Mrs. Isabel Baptist 20 The Herald, Our Newspaper Oh boy, the- Herald comes out today!” This is a initon exclamation heard in the halls of J.l I.S. everv other Friday. AH the students look forward to reading our fine school paper, the Herald. I he “big wheels” on the staff meet first hour everv day to get the copy and the dummy ready to go to press. I hr complete staff meets once every two weeks during club period to receive their assignments and talk about and learn about newspaper work. T he bigger and better Herald contains interesting editorials, features, and pictures to keep us up to date on the social anil sports affairs of our sch x l. Students voice their opinions on school problems through Let- ters to the Editors.” We all enjoy reading about the personality of the week.” We thank the staff of the 1954-55 Herald for pro- viding us with our much enjoyed school paper. CO-EDITOR Jim Symons holds the position of co-editor on the staff. Through his original- ity and ability Jim has helped to make this year's Herald the best yet. CO-EDITOR ADVISER Mrs. Baptist is the able adviser of the Herald staff. Mrs. B., as she is known to the staff, supervises and manages the Herald excellently. The capability and dependability of co- editor Frances C.unn have been vital to the success of our school paper. Faithful Frances worked m.inv after-school hours to get the Herald to press. 21 Crimson Frolics was a very appropriate name to lx- given the 1954 J.II.S. Min strel show, for never did one see such frolics! The main “frolicers”—interlocutor Ed Foreman and the end men—kept the show rapidlv and humorously moving through the various acts which included a real honest-to-goodness chorus line of dancing beauties. Another outstanding feature of the show was the seventy voice choir directed by Mr. Lord. All the acts were accompanied bv talented Becky Crouse. The riotous endtnen were: George Stevens, Mr. Sparkplug; Jim Symons, Mr. Ha tliator; Max Roegge, Mr. Tappitt; and Jim Woodward, Air. Dynaflow. The Rockettes, ably directed by Nancy Godfrey and Norma Jean Gibbs, were: Betty Hembrough, Gerrv Smith, Carol Tayman. Nancy Painter, Ann Pearce, Barbara Munk, Elaine Smith, Janet Elliott, Sharon Hegarty, and Shirley Pilkington. This year's show W'as under the excellent chairmanship of Miss Fergene Coddin and Mr. Donald Lord, with a committee consisting of Mrs. Isabel Baptist, Miss Helen Richards, and Miss Hannah Schwitzky. As the curtain fell at the close of the second-night performance, it w'as agreed that never had a finer Minstrel been staged at J.H.S. Max Roegge, George Stevens, Ed Foreman, Jim Symons, and Jim Woodward. ''Death Takes a Holiday Duke Lambert ........

The plav is unique in its plot: Death comes to earth for a Holiday in an effort to discover why men fear him so. He poses as a Russian Prince, a guest of Duke and Duchess Lambert. Complications arise during the Prince’s three-day visit, involving three young ladies, also guests of the Lamberts. 1 he Prince finds himself falling in love with Princess Grazia much to the sorrow of her mother and the Dutchess and Duke, whose daughter-in-law she was to be. However, it is Grazia's choice to make, and she decides to go with Death. There is a love which casts out fear . . And love greater than illusion, and as strong as death.

The story of the plav centers around Sabrina, who arrives home at the opening of the play after three years in Paris. In the interim she has developed from a quiet shv little mouse to a lovely vivacious young lady—in love with life. Complications arise concerning the two sons of the family for whom her father is chauffeur, but as the plav rollicks along from situation to situation, problems arc finally solved and equilibrium is restored. Adding to the interest and amusement ol the play are old Mr. Larrabee, whose hobby is attending funerals: Aunt Julia, with her wise and subtle remarks; Maude, superficial and sheltered: and various others. u £hoe$ T)hat 11 ere CO-CHAIRMEN Beverly Skinner and Bill Lewis Dream Awhile A silver and pink Castle in the Clouds was created for all on the enchanted night of March 25. To “Dream Awhile in this wonderful castle was indeed an experience long to be remembered in the hearts of the students of J.H.S. Dancing to the heavenly music of Johnnv Kina Ido's orches- tra made the evening more than perfect. Presiding over the banquet preceding the Prom was junior class president. Tom Coats. The invocation was given by Jane Schneider. Mary' Ellyn Goody played a piano selec- tion, and Betsy Engelbach rendered a violin numhyr. In- terpretations of the various stages in high school were effec- tively given by Beverly Skinner. Ella Mae Smock. Bill Lewis, and Jim Symons. These talks brought nostalgic yet happy sighs from the seniors, for whom it was somewhat of of a farewell. Miss Leonhard's talk, entitled “I’ll Sec You in My Dreams, appropriately brought to a close the program. In future years, many a man and lady, perhaps in far away places, will look back and Dream Awhile once more as they remember the lovely evening spent in the Castle in the Clouds.

Mr. Welch Jeneanne Buchanan Marching Along Together I he Jacksonville I ligh School hand, directed bv Mr. James Welch, has become one of the finest bands in the state of Illinois. The band performs with the precision and accuracy acquired only by the combined efforts of hard working, talented instrumentalists and a competent leader. During the football season at the home games our hand puts on fine exhibitions at half time. The clever formations and songs by the band and twirlers are enjoyed by all and add much to school spirit. Concerts are also given during the year. Our hand participated in the state band contest at Normal State Teacher’s College and marched away with second place. We are proud of our band and it is certainly an important part of Fairy-tale Land.

T his choir, composed of forty girls’ voices, has sung on various oc- casions, including Christmas Vespers and the May Festival. Officers elected w re Becky Crouse, president; Nancy Jo Riggs, vice-president; Rhoda Baker, secretary. 32 A Cappella Choir An organization that is widely known throughout the school and community is the J.H.S.

They are both ready to lend their talent at anv time. 33 On December 17, the annual Christmas Dance was enjoyed by many J.l I S. students and faculty members. The climax of the evening came with the revealing of the names of those elected as members of the Snow Court. A snowball was thrown from the audience bearing the names of the King and Queen — Gerry Smith and Jim Woodward. The Queen was presented with a bouquet of white roses, and the Royal Couple were crowned. Then followed the traditional Grand M arch, led by our King and Queen. 34 Vespers A truly impressive presentation was our annual Vesper Service, given l y the vocal music department December 12. The traditional and varied selections combined to make the concert one providing beauty and delight for the listener. Different sections of the program were done by the A Cappclla Choir, the Sol- feggio Choir, the several ensembles, and the soloists. A large, appreciative audience and the beautifully decorated auditorium added to the perfection of the afternoon. The entire program was under the direction of Mr. Donald Lord. 35 Crown Bearer.

STUDENT AWARD John Anderson Marcio Garlich The Class of 1955 is proud of its honor students. M arcia Garlich. John Anderson, and Sandra Bonjean have achieved the highest scholastic honors. John is not eligible for valedictorian because he has not attended J.ll.S. all four years, hut we congratulate him for the fine record he has made. Marcia, our valedictorian, and Sandy, our salutatoriam have not only attained enviable records in scholarship but have also been leaders in manv extra-curricular activities during their four years in high school. Sandy Bonjean France� Gunn Through election by her classmates and vote of the faculty, Frances Gunn was selected for the D.A.R. award. Depcndabilitv, service, leadership, and pa- triotism are the cjualities which serve as the basis for this award. Frances has served our school in her senior year in an especially responsible position — co-editor of the Herald.
