L Z is 4 Hmmm, K 'E SENIOR HISTORY The senior year is the shortest of the four glorious years spent in K.H.S. It is also a year which is full of fun and activities, and one which will always be remembered. We seniors started out just as all do. As freshmen we came in with that green, bewildered lcok. Those who had been here as Junior High students had some idea of life at K.H.S., but to the outsiders every- thing seemed new. The Green Freshies as we were called, were led through the year by Ben Sherwood, ably assisted by vice-president, Jim Hutchcroft, secretary and treas- urer, Blanch Downardg and Student Council repre- sentative, John Larson. Class advisers were Miss Lindrothe and Miss Shippy. As traditions go so do the freshmen. For in the usual garb we were forced to button and carry the seniors' books, as well as endure the embarrassment of it all. As the year progressed we took part in many school activities. We chose Sally Hopkins as our Homecoming candidate for Queen. She came in as first maid of honor to the queen and was es- corted by Ben Sherwood and attended by Ruth Pat- ton. The three pony cheerleaders, Dot Bratton, Sally Hopkins, and Ruth Patton, were from our class and many freshman boys took part in athletics. Our sophomore year began with much zeal, as we lost our green looks and took on the responsibilities of being sophomores. John Larson led the class, with Rich Ireland, vice-president, Ted Putnam, secretary, and Sally Hopkins, treasurer. Ralph Brown repre- sented our class in Student Council. Mrs. Ambrose and Mr. Heerde directed our group through a success- ful year. Parties were a highlight during the year. The class held a party at Sally Dinsmore's home which was enjoyed by all. We also gave a very suc- cessful all school party. Much to our credit, the sophomore class was well represented in football, basketball, both varsity and junior varsity, and track. Honoring the king and queen at Homecoming as first maid of honor was Ruth Patton, escorted by Jim Hutchcroft and attended by Dorothy Bratton. To lead the varsity cheering, Dot Bratton, Ruth Patton and Sally Hopkins took part as cheer leaders. An inspiring Christmas play was presented before an assembly during the Christmas season. As the junior year came around, Dorothy Brat- ton was chosen president, Jack Clevenger, vice- president, and Dora Jean Bybee, secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Yemm and Mr. Farr, advisors. Sally Hop- kins was elected Junior Editor of the Jester and John Larson Junior Editor of the Blue Bulletin. Tasks of the year were immediately begun by ordering class rings and having our pictures for the Jester taken. The Homecoming proved very successful for we juniors put on the prize winning skit consisting of an imitation of Spike Jones' orchestra, put on by Gerald fSwampheadj Lambert, Keith CSpikej Sew- ard, Ben Sherwood Qcornetj, Jack Clevenger fsaxo- phonej, Glen Hartnell fclarinetj, Jim Hutchcroft Qtrombonej, John Larson Qwashboardj. Pete Tucker took the part of a waitress. In the Coronation, Bev- erly Rambo came in as third maid of honor, escorted by Rich Ireland and attended by Dora Jean Bybee. After Homecoming came tryouts and on December 7 the production of the junior play, One Foot in Heaven, a serious comedy written by Hartzell Spence. Although during play practice we seemed pretty impossible to Miss Isaacson, our director, the play was presented before a full house. In athletics we as juniors played an important part. There were five football lettermen, three varsity basketball play- ers, two of whom received letters, and five track men, who were worthy of a UK . This year climaxed with the long-awaited Junior-Senior Prom, which was held at the Soangetaha Country Club house. An evening with good food, good music and dancing was ful- filled in an atmosphere of a Southern Plantation, which was our theme. Then came the day, September 4, when we entered the halls of K.H.S. as seniors-a day and year we all had been waiting for. We started in gayly and happily and did not realize that it would be gone so swiftly. This day brought new looks to our faces and new thoughts to our minds as we realized we were starting our long awaited senior year. Gerald Lambert presided over us dignified seniors and was readily assisted by Jim Hutchcroft, vice-president, Jack Clevenger, secretary-treasurer, with Dora Jean Bybee and Keith Seward as Student Council repre- sentatives. Mrs. Huston, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Litch- field were our helpful advisors. Next came initiation! On September 14, we forced the green freshies to button and carry our books all day. The climax of initiation was an eve- ning party with a program in which all freshmen participated, much to their embarrassment. Selecting the Western Cafe as the theme for Homecoming, we Worked hard from morning to night decorating the set of western life. The pro- gram, on the night of October 17th, consisted of participants in musical, dramatic, and comical acts with the sophomores winning the prize for the best skit. To make the event more successful, Bev Collins, senior candidate, was crowned as the 1951 Homecoming Queen by football captain, Jack Clev- enger. Escort, Ralph Brown, and attendant, Marilyn Pruett, were selected by Bev for the coronation. As the year progressed we became very busy seniors. We took the traditional Skip Day trip, which we will remember for many years. The D.A.R. award was presented to Dot Bratton. Members of the class of Sl were again brought before the footlights when we presented the Senior Play, The Perfect Idiot, dircted by Miss Wilma Hasemeyer, on April 17th. The Junior-Senior Prom was held on the evening of May 25th and was a well accepted affair which will be remembered always. Class Day and the receiving of our Jesters made us realize our four wonderful years at K.H.S. were ending. On the twenty-seventh of May, Baccalaureate services were held. The final event came June Hrst as commencement exercises brought high school life to a close. With diplomas in hand we left K.H.S. as graduates, taking with us all the wonderful mem- ories of high school life. f17l SENIOR ACTIVITIES MARLENE ABY-Missouri 2, 3: Class Officer, Treasurer 3: SeCo Club 1, 4: K-GAC 4: Latin Club 1, 4: Chorus l, 2, 4: Homecoming Marshall 4: Junior Play 3: Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4: Basketball 2, 3.

I9 J UN ICJRS The class of '52 began its pleasant journey through high school when Don Pont, our freshman president, received our class colors of green and gold the day we were promoted from the eighth grade. As freshies, under the guidance of Miss Shippy and Mr. Stamps, we soon began to lose that frightened, green look. We got off to a grand start by capturing the Homecoming skit prize with our skit, Emperor Dingho. Our candidates for king and queen that year, Pat Johnson and Bill Eiker, placed second to the royal couple. Even as freshmen, we participated actively in sports, and also provided the four pony cheerleaders. By the next year, as full-fledged sophomores, we had lost all of that green look. This year Miss Isaacson and Mr. Heerde sponsored our class, and Mickey Lacy guided us as president. Our most im- portant project as sophomores was the presentation of three highly successful one-act plays, Who- dunnit, Hummingburd Hiccups, and She Was Only a Farmer's Daughter. Each of our English classes, under the direction of members of the Speech class, presented one of the plays. Sophomore boys were on both the pony and varsity basketball teams and many won letters in football and track activities. We chose as president to lead us through our junior year Richard Henderson, who was ably assisted by Richard Henderson Jean LaFollette Mickey Lacy Beverly Bruce l Jean Laliollette, secretaryg Beverly Bruce, treasurerg and Mickey Lacy, vice-presidnt. Our advisors, Mrs. Yemm and Mr. Farr, willingly helped us with any and all problems which confronted us and contrib- uted much to the success of one of our most im- portant school years. To start the year right as upperclassmen we were busy selecting and ordering our class rings, and having our pictures taken for the Jester. We as juniors came through with flying colors at Homecoming corona- tion festivities when Colleen I-Iowerter, escorted by Rick Johnson, was crowned first maid of honor. On December 7, we triumphantly presented the junior class play, Brother Goose. The hilarious comedy, directed by Miss Hasemeyer, was a financial success as well as being enjoyed by all who saw it. In sports again the boys came through with many victories on the football field, basketball floor, and cinder track. Joanne White and Pat Johnson as varsity cheerleaders, with Diana Klinck on the pony cheering squad, ably represented the junior girls. In the music department, too, as juniors we were active, having many members in both the band and chorus. , The annual Junior-Senior Prom, the biggest social event of our three years at K.H.S., successfully and happily ended our junior year. 1.

No picture--Dick Uhlmann. Having lost the name and the look of Green Freshiesn, the class of '53 has taken an active part in all phases of the high school program. Looking at the Freshmen now, sophomores wonder, Was I that green last year? , but have to admit that they were, only now they are better acquainted with everyone. With their enthusiasm and zest, they have contributed much to our school spirit and pep. jack Block led his classmates through their second successful year at K.H.S. Other officers selected were: vice-president, Carol Ann Ferris, secretary, Larry Pierson, treasurer, Alan Lentzg and Student Council representatives, Mary Woolsey and Dick Uhlman. Taking a part in K.H.S.'s many extra-curricular activities they won honors in the Homecoming festivities, in the different Helds of sports and in the many clubs at K.H.S. by participating in the various projects during the year. Three active class members represented the girls. They are Betty Martin, being one of the vivacious cheerleaders for the Bullets Varsity squad, Sherry Randall and Norma England, who did a fine job in leading the cheers for the Junior Varsity squad. john Liston and Jamie Bjorkman proved to be valuable members on both the Junior Varsity and the Varsity squad. Many of the other boys, too, represented their class by participating in competitive and intramural sports and other activities. Dark-haired, brown-eyed Janis Swigert, sophomore candidate for Homecoming Queen, was chosen second maid of honor. She was escorted by Jamie Bjorkman and attended by Erma Clay. Honors went to this class in Homecoming festivities. They won first prize of three dollars with their clever skit entitled, Chorus Girl Mary. The class sponsors who were always ready to assist when they were needed were, Miss Wilma Hasemeyer, Speech and Dramatics teacher, and Mr. Bill Heerde, Coach of the Bullet Varsity squad.

FRESHMEN High school would not be complete wi thcut each new group of Freshmen every year. Cln Septeniber 5, 1950,sixty-Hve Frednes entered lQldQS. to beghi their high schocd career. 'fhey'vvere greeted by eager, vengeful seniors, over-anxious for inida- don, vdnch canw the thnd vmek of schooland wasennnmd by bodismuorsand freshnaen. After initiation was over, the Class of '54 went eagerly forward into their year's work and fung and participated as active members of all clubs, sports, and other extra- curricular activities. Jim Swanson successfully led his classmates through their first year of high school. Other officers were: vice-president, Jim Steele, secretary-treasurer, Susan Bybee, and Student Council representatives, Mary Jane Green and Bob Wolf. Miss Jane Robert- son and Mr. J. Wendell Stamps were their very helpful and able sponsors. Blue-eyed, brunette, Susan Jane Bybee, Freshman candidate for Queen of Horne- coming, was chosen third maid of honor. Her escort was Jim Swanson, and Carolyn Bushong, her attendant. As the losing ccntender in their bracket of the Magazine Drive sponsored by the Student Ccuncil, the Freshmen were hosts at a school party held during the second senaester. Two very active and capable cheerleaders came from this class: Susan Bybee and Becky Anderson, who led the cheers for the Baby Bullets team. Blany of the boys represented then'class by' pardcipathag in aH intranaural and outside sport activities. They will likely all be good prospects for the future Bullet varnty'tean1. With such a good start as freshmen, we are sure that this class will continue to do as well in all of its activities, educational and extra-curricular, during their remaining three years at Ii.fl.S. liRliSHMl2N Left to right: jim Swanson. president: Tom Pierson, Mary ,lane Green, Student Council Repre- sentative, Susan Bybee, secretary-treasurerg and Bob Wolf.

We were not only greeted by the former members of the faculty list, but by four new personalities. Dr. Jensen, with his winning ways, has been quite busy with his duties as superintendent of schools. We have benefited from our association with him these last four years. Always willing to help was our friend, Dr. Thomann. He has been our principal for three years. In this capacity he has shown remarkable ability in the handling of our numerous and varied problems. Madge Terpening has been a valuable secretary for two years. She was always busy but smiling. This was Mrs. Symond's first year at K.H.S. Her various duties have been very capably handled. Mrs. McKown was one who will long be remem- bered by the graduating class for her tremendous help with the Blue Bulletin and Jester. Along with her regular classes, she was a very capable sponsor of the Latin Club. Patient and good-natured was our own Mr. Stamps, Coach to many of us. He has been teach- ing at K.H.S. for 22 years. Coach was a Competent sponsor for the freshmen. This was Miss Hasemeyer's first year with us and the successful production of the junior and senior plays proved her ability. She sponsored the sopho- more class and Dramatics Club. We would have been lost if it hadnlt been for Miss Lindrothe and her well-stocked and ship-shape library. If she wasn't in the library, she was in the office working on the many school accounts. With such a capable and experienced teacher, the girls in Mrs. Goff's food class completed a most suc- cessful year. Always a new project for FFA was Mr. Litch- field's motto for the club he ably sponsored. The seniors were lucky to have him as a co-sponsor of their class. A very successful and well-liked coach of football and basketball was our famous Mr. Heerde. He was the unlucky teacher for second study hall. Mr. Heerde was one of the sponsors of the sophomore class. A winning personality and a determination with those eight parts of speech could apply only to Miss Woolsey. Her friendly smile is loved by all students. As a sponsor for the eighth grade, she has prepared them well for the years ahead. We will always remember the genuine willingness of Mrs. Houston. She has made the seniors' last year a most enjoyable one. Being sponsor of both the Se-Co Club and the senior class have kept her quite busy. The dynamic personality of Mrs. Yemm, has made her a friend to all. Although married in October, she is still Miss Gooding to many of us. She spon- sored the junior class and Pep Club. This is Mr. Goodwin's first year with us and it's been lots of fun for all of us to know him. A capable leader, he sponsored the seventh grade. Miss Shcarer's quiet and sincere personality is one that we will long remember. A true teacher, she sponsored the Future Teacher's Club. Always looking for somthing new for his biology classes is our friend, Mr. Miller. He coached the pony team to many victories. He was Mr Heerde,s assistant in football and basketball. Mr. Miller was co-sponsor of the senior class. Another new teacher at K.H.S. is Mrs. Hotch- kiss. Along with being a teacher of the seventh and eighth grade classes and freshman English, she proved a capable eighth grade sponsor. A busy person sponsoring both K-GAC and Red Cross was Miss Robertson. She started first aid in all her P. E. classes This was her first year at K.H.S. and she was one of the sponsors of the freshman class. Mr. Ames' willingness to help has made him a friend to all. Along with commercial classes, he had charge of ticket sales. Always smiling and with some new joke We found Mr. Farr, a much liked teacher. Mr. Farr's Science Club became quite popular with the students and he was co-sponsor of tlte junior class. Miss Piazzi's first year at K.H S. was one with a busy schedule. She was one of the seventh grade advisors, and a teacher of seventh, eighth and freshman classes. Mr. Swanson is to be congratulated on his music department. It has given us many delightful per- formances. Mrs. Philblad, who took Mrs. McKown's place, handled the many responsibilities of that position in a capable manner. U tk. ' x Q . ?

TOM XVALKIQR-Tom was one of our junior tackles. He was a tough charger who broke up many plays because of his smash- ing style. BILL EIKER-Bill was a hard smashing junior guard who occasionally played back- held. A very aggressive player, Bill was a valuable member to the team. ROLLY EKLUND-Rolly, as a pass-catch- ing end, was a marked man all year. Hot Rod Eklund is a junior of whom much is expected next season. I-Ie was a second team All-Star. RICK JOHNSON-Rick was a fighting guard who was always in his opponents, hair. Since he is a junior and was a Little Six All-Star, he will no doubt have another great year at K.I'I.S. iud 'I4'lLlxIL Ifnd Gti ' U' a ROIILY LKLUNI7 RICK JOHNSON RALPH BRONVN MICK LACY NIIIVI IIUTCHCIICUIJT IIILI.

A Little Six All-Star, Roscoe is a senior and will be missed next season. MICK LACY-Mick was our varsity signal caller who was named for the All-Star sec- ond team, He is well-known for his passing aluility and will be with us again next season as a senior. JIM HUTCHCROFT-slim finished his second year as varsity center. On defense he played halfback and always got his man. jim, a senior, will be missed next year. BILL ROE-Bill was a junior and the fastest man on the squad. He was a liittle Six All-Star and one of the state's leading scorers, Bill will be very handy to have next season.

In the Little Six Conference, Knoxville took second place, with three wins against two losses. The squad will have eight out of fifteen letter men back for next year's team and seven of the starting eleven will return. The best game of the season was played against Abingdon. This was a close one, 6 to 0 in favor of Knoxville. The difference was the beautiful line play of the Bullets. Another good game was played against Princeton. Princeton is a bigger school than Knoxville, but the Bullets came out on top, 14 to 7. 1950 FOOTBALL RECORD Knoxville Toulon 0 Knoxville Corpus Christi 0 Knoxville R.M.A. 2 :5Knoxville Abingdon 0 :iKnoxville ROVA 13 :5Knoxville Roseville 19 :?Knoxville Aledo 19 Knoxville Princeton 12 :9Knoxville Alexis 9 2i'Little Six Conference games im if : 7, V . n 'Sw A ix N125 K WW 4 N In 51: 2 g g ff :f i H , , ,,L, I : K, . - q Q BASKETBALL The K.H.S. basketball Hve had a very successful season this year. Althougl1 the Bullets finished fourth in the Little Six, they had a very good season record of 18 wins and 9 losses. Tournament play also was very good with Knoxville coming out second in the Knox County, Elmwood Invitational, and Regional Tournament. The highlight of the year was in the first game of the Regional. The Bullets, paced by Captain Ted Putnam, de- feated Galesburg in a very close and thrilling game. The great determination of the team was the winning factor. The boys played their best game of the season against the Silver Streaks. They went to the finals with great hopes of winning and going on to state, only to lose to Abingdon. The Blue Bullets of 1951, it is believed by many, had one of the best, if HDI the greatest, team in K.H.S. history. Only three of the Bullets' great team should represent Knoxville next year also.

There were only twenty-four tracksters to report for this season but we were well represented from the previous year. Eleven lettermen were on the squad and the team showed up Well, as is a tradition with Knoxville track teams. Coach Stamps, track mentor, worked hard and proved his ability by pro- ducing a better than average team. Because of Wet weather some of the meets had to be postponed. This did not hinder the team too much because it gave them a little more time for workout. The schedule was quite rough this year but we won our share of the meets. We also showed up well in the Knox County Track Meet and the Little Six Relays. TRACK SCHEDULE April 17-Williamsfield-Roseville- May 8-Knox Co.

'I . , -I. .eveige , .ut The 1951 Blue Bullet baseball nine was a much improved ball team over the pre- vious yearis club which lost 8 games and won only 1. This year's team, under the direction of Coach Bill Heerde, had a fairly successful season. The season's schedule was more complete and consisted of more games, many of which were against very tough teams. Several games had to be postponed at the first of the season because of bad weather but finally the season got rolling. The first game was lost to Elmwood 8 to 1. The boys didn't look too impressive at the plate but lack of practice was the reason for this. With the pitching of Mickey Lacy, Don Pont, Harold Howarter, and Doug Stamps, the team got started. Rick john- son did a Hne job of catching as well as hitting. Several times Rick came through with a well placed hit. Three sophomores .01 and a junior made up the Blue Bullet infield. Jamie Bjorkman at first base, John Liston at second, Jack Block at third and Terry Wooldridge, the junior, at short stop. John, Jamie, and jack improved themselves con- siderably by playing ball in a summer league. The outfielders were Ted Putnam, left Heldg Rolly Eklund, center field, and Mickey Lacy played right field, when he wasn't pitching. All three of these were on the starting nine last year. Other outfield- ers were Gerald Hilton, Dick Gagg, and Robert Radar. Considering that this was just the sec- ond year Knoxville has had baseball, the boys did a very fine job. Thirteen out of the fourteen baseball boys will be back next year, so next year's team should also be a very good output. T543 'Si slr ll.v, . LQ Q 'Fl J' u 3 . --...Ja ,ln , .

QE ,f di THE STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council-Seated: M. Xllfoolscy, P. Wfright, U. Bybee, P. johnson, NI. Carlson, S. Hopkins, Mr. Thomann, R. W'olfe, D. Powell, C. Howerter. Standing: R. liklund, M. Green. R. Gustafson, S. Lacy, C. Tucker, Ci. Lambert. AI. Block, D. Uhlniann, K. Seward, Swanson, R. Henderson, Smith. Although the Student Council got off to a slow start due to a lack of interest in elections, it struggled forward and by the middle of the year had acquired the students' co-operation and were assured of a suc- cessful year Holding its meetings every Thursday in the library, the Council planned several worthwhile proj- ects. The first was the annual magazine drive. Each class was given a goal to reach and every student in school has a personal goal of S4 worth of subscrip- tions in order that the school goal of 31,300 could be reached. If this goal was obtained, the Curtiss Maga- zine Company was to give the Council a larger per- cent of the sales. However, the student body did not sell the required amount of subscriptions which would have meant more money for the Council treasury, but it did make 8300. lt was our Student Council, also, which originated and carried through a Homecoming Parade-the first in many years at Knoxville High School. First of all, the Council issued ballots to every student. These ballots were to determine the amount of interest in a parade and if each person was willing to work for one. With the answer in the affirmative, the Student Council members went on with the preliminary plans. Everyone pitched in and helped to make it a success. All clubs and classes were representd by a float and prizes were given in the two sections. Another important ballot was issued to the stu- dent body. lt concerned the failure of school parties in the last few years. With each of us writing our own opinion, we discovered that very few of us know enough about dancing to try it at parties The Coun- cil arranged to have dancing lessons given to those who wished them. The lessons were given in the study hall after school on days chosen from open dates on the calendar. Our regular school teachers served as dancing instructors. The first lesson was February 8. After-game dances were sponsored by the Coun- cil to encourage better relationships between schools. The purpose was not to make a pront because anyone could attend without charge. They usually hired a band in place of playing records. Twenty-one members composed the Council. The officers for the year were Sally Hopkins, President, Pat Johnson, Vice-Presidentg and Joan Carlson, Secre- tary-Treasurer. According to the revised constitu- tion, Pat will automatically succeed Sally as President next year. Dr. Thomann attended the meetings and gave assistance wherever needed. KGAC K-GAC Officers: President, li. Tucker, Vice-President, P, Alohnsong Secretary, S. Bybeeg Record Keeper, M. Lindahlg Treasurer, li. Patton: Club Reporter, S. Dinsmureg and Advisor, Miss Robertson. Miss Robertson, our athletic teacher, and a total of sixty-six girls helped to make this year for the K-GAC Club very successful. The goal of this club, as stated in its constitution and carried out by its members, is to promote good sportsmanship and interest in athletics, both as a spectator and as a participant, and to encourage good health attitudes Any girl enrolled at K.H.S. is eli- gible for membership and is allowed to join by accept- ing the rules and by-laws of the club and taking the oath of membership. Business meetings were held regularly the First Monday of each month, at which time the members submitted many ideas for various sports activities to be promoted during the school year. Among these were tournaments, hikes, swimming, and various parties. An invitational Hallowe'en party proved to be such a success that a Christmas party was planned with the Pep Club members. 7 Basketball, volleyball, bowling, and softball tour- naments were held throughout the year, either after school or at the noon hour. The bowling tournament proved to be the most enjoyable of the four. After the organization of the teams, the bowling leagues went into full swing, holding their games at the Galesburg Bowl on Wfednesday and Thursday after- noons. The Lucky Strike team was the winner of the championship. Bowlers on this team were: Sally Dinsmore, captaing Sally Hopkins, Ruth Patton, Dot Bratton, Eileen Mansfield, and Pete Tucker. Scores of each girl participating in these activities were kept by the recorder. Iiifteen hundred points were re- quired before a member became eligible for a letter. Officers that led the club through such an active year were: president, Pete Tuckerg vice-presidentg Pat Johnsong secretary, Susan Bybeeg treasurer, Ruth Pattong reporter, Sally llinsmoreg and recorder, Mary -Io Lindahl. l , L 2 Y V. 1 df?

LIBRARY sul f W'orlting on Boolts: Roselle, l.ynch, Nwhite, lf. Miller, Miss l.indrothe, A. llutchison, Cole, A. Ciudsil, -I. Stevens. The Library Club was added to the list of extra-curricular social and educational activities for the ytar. The girls took charge in the library, mending books, doing the typing work of processing the boolis, and talsing turns at the desk during study halls, performing the usual duties and checking hooks in and out During the year, special events were held for the meetings. A chili supper was usually held on the night of a game and members would attend the game afterwards. For their Christmas meeting, the girls decorated a Christmas tree and held a gift exchange. In the fall, the Club presented an assembly. At their regularly scheduled business meetings, the club was led by Alosephine Stevens, president: Alice llutchison, vice-president, janet Roselle, secretaryg and .Ioan Lynch, treasurer. The club members proved to be of great assistance to their advisor, Miss lindrothe, in the library work and they in turn, learned much about the many services which a librarian renders. At the lfnd of the llall: QI. Stevens, -I, Baker, -I. lidwart Hutchison, Miss Shearer, and 13. Uhlmann. uture Teachers Club The activities of the liuture Teachers Club were limited somewhat because of its size, there were only live members. Regular monthly meetings were held with klosephine Stevens, president, -Ioan Edwards, vice- president, and Alice Hutchison, secretary-treasurer. One of our main projects was helping teachers in grading papers and doing anv other miscellaneous jobs which would help the teachers and themselves. Miss Shearer, club advisor, has guided them in their program during the two years of the club's existence. Because of their genuine interest and sin- cerity with which they have worlted, the club mem- bers have accomplished much. F.F.A. Url rs: Advisor, Mr. litclilieldg Secretary. C.

Wamoltlridge, il. llluck, ll. Whilker, llilton, R. l.inls, M. Sell 1 Our F.F.A. Chapter kept going all sum- mer long so they didn't need any starter. Last june, members went to the F.F.A. State Con- cention in Champaign. Then in August they exhibited their livestock in the Sectional Vo- cational Agriculture Show in Knoxville with five other counties taking part. This was a part of the annual Knox County Fair. In September everyone returned to school with a new zeal for the year's work, especially the F.I3.A. boys. First they had a parents' meeting and then in October they initiated the green hands with the traditional F.F.A. cere- mony. In November they presented the P.T.A. program, having a barber shop quartet and many other witty stunts. Also they partici- pated in the Homecoming parade by having a corn picker and a hay rack with the sign We're picking Knoxville for victory. Al- though we lost, this was a very Witty float. Traveling to Chicago on November 27 the boys attended the International Livestock Show. Here they saw and learned a lot about grain, hay, and livestock. The F.F.A. sponsored a live pigeon hunt from which 125 birds were yielded. They 60 dalil. were sold and the money raised by this helped the boys present their annual parent-son ban- quet held in April. In March jack Block brought an excellent honor to the F.F.A. Chapter by winning sec- ond place in the F.F.A. Public Speaking Con- test which was held in Cvalesburg with a Galesburg boy winning Hrst place. As other projects the members sold milk at noon hours which not only helped them to raise money but provided a more nourishing lunch for the students here at K.H.S. They also went to Peoria, visiting the American Agricultural Research Building and Interna- tional Harvester Company. Not all the time was spent in going or having fun, although the boys held many parties like hayrack rides and weiner roasts. Back of all this was their projects, of hogs, cows, and sheep. They did very well under the helpful guidance of Mr. Litchfield, their advisor and Ag teacher. His supervision was aided by the capable hands of Bill Heller, president, jack Block, vice- presidentg Don Ryner, second vice-president, Clark Wise, secretary, Rolly Eklund, treas- urer, Raymond Rambo, reporter, and Bill Eiker, sentinel.

Robert Erickson from the Howe-Anderson Bakery gave a dem- onstration on the baking of cakes. The Home Management Class again had the special project of de- signing miniature rooms, while the Foods class planned, prepared, and served a meal to the faculty mem- bers. At a May 11 assembly, the sewing classes, both beginning and advanced girls, furnished a style show of various garments they had made throughout the year. Other activities of the year were the food booth at the Jester Staff Carnival, and the selling of candy in the halls at noons and after school. Profits were used in pur- chasing items which were beneficial to the foods and clothing classes. Much credit is due the sponsors, Mrs. Huston and Mrs. Goff, for their valuable assistance and advice. The Se-Co Club reorganized this year for the twenty-first time, with a membership of twenty-four girls. The name of this club represents the two divisions of home econom- icsecooking and sewing. Its pur- pose is to further education in home economics. The year began with the election of the following officers: Marilyn Pruett, president, Janet Roselle, vice-president, Marilyn Nelson, secretary-treasurer. Faculty advisors are Mrs. Huston and Mrs. Goff. At the monthly meetings held the third Tuesday of each month, the girls worked on the projects of figurine painting and wall plaques. Interesting talks and demonstrations were given by several members and outside speakers. In the latter part of December, a mother-daughter banquet was held in the study hall.

DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club, another new organ- ization at K.H.S. this year, proved to be one of the most active clubs in school. After a constitution was drawn up, the following officers were elected: president, Larry Hard- ingg vice-president, Sally Dinsmore: secre- tary-trcasurer, janet Roselleg sergeant4at- arms, liill liikerg and publicity agent. -lack Block. Miss Hasemeyer organized the club and acted as sponsor, aiding the officers and members in successfully carrying out their many projects. The purpose of the club is to create a greater interest in dramatics, and to famil- iarive .1 great number of the students with the many different phases of dramatics. Any student was eligible for membership whether enrolled in a speech course or not. Sltits, readings, pantomimes, and one-act plays, which were presented at various as- semblies and community programs, were L1 few of the club's interesting activities. The Christmas play, Blue Overalls Angelf, was given before the student body at the Christ- mas assembly. This year the club boasted forty-Eye mem- bers. With such a successful beginning, the Dramatics Club should become a permanent organization at K.H.S. President l.. Harding presides over meeting of llramatic Ciluh lnemhersflfront Row: ll.

Putnam Cseatcdjg Vice-President, Hutchcroftg Mr. Farr, Advisory Secretary-Treasurer, S. Hopkins. Another club here at K.H.S. that needed no starting was our Science Club, due to the fact that regular meetings were held each month during the summer. Before school was out last year Ted Put- nam was elected president, to assist Mr. Farr, our advisorg jim Hutchcroft as vice-presidentg and Sally Hopkins as secretary-treasurer. Every monday night a small group of members assembled together because the club was too large to have all the members assembled together in the science room and accomplish any work. Every third Monday all the members met together and a special program was presented. Frequently an outside speaker talked to the group and sometimes a movie was shown. Mr. Farr would often have group dis- cussions upon scientific problems and helped us with our projects. Our club is like every Science Club in America, having its purpose to promote interest in science of those who desire to study its technical aspects and for those who will use it as consumers. Our club has developed tive main ob- jectives. They are to create and encourage an interest in scientific knowledge, to develop an appre- ciation of nature, and to provide wholesome recre- ation. A field trip to Keystone Steel and Wire Com- pany on January 27 provided a large group of mem- bers with a better understanding of steel industry and the manufacturing of many wire articles. The members started work very early in the school year on their individual projects to have for the Annual Science Club Fair, presented on April 30 for the public. A great deal of time was spent on the projects which brought forth a successful fair. Another big event in the club's activities was a trip to Chicago in May. Many scientific places of interest such as museums, aquariums, and the Planetarium were visited by the members. The club provided the program for Father's Night of the P.T.A. meetings held january 17. An amusing but colorful play called All Wet was presented with Rick Johnson as Professor Vacuum and Richard Henderson as Dr. Hair Tonic. Many of the members contributed interesting projects to this affair. This same play was also given as an assembly program for the students of K.H.S. Several parties were held to break the strain of scientific ideas and experiments. The Science Club was one of the most up and coming clubs of this year at K.H.S., having almost 60 students. l64l Xvatching QI.

The first main event of the year was the election of officers. At a meeting held in Septem- ber, the members chose Harold How- arter to succeed Dot Bratton as presi- dent. Tom Pierson was voted vice- president while Louise Shreeves took the very simple job, this year, of count- ing the money. A weiner I'0.ISI was held for new members at Colleen Pennington's home. New members were initiated. At the regular monthly meeting held in the study hall, the business meetings were coupled with entertain- ment. Latin plays were presented and a taffy pull was attmpted. We dis- covered how not to make taflfy when we added soda to it. The result was that we enjoyed the remainder of the evening pulling tafty-off the stove. LATIN CLUB r lfarly in the year, Sally Hopkins and Dot Bratton conferred Latin names on members. Mary Smith and june Vaw- ter demonstrated the correct way to wear a toga-the regular Roman ap- parel. Latin Club mothers were honored with a Christmas tea in December. Lack of funds did not keep this LIC- tive club down. Additional Blue Bullet automobile signs were sold and the club sponsored a bake sale. The club added three dollars to its almost emptv purse by taking second place in the Homecoming Parade with a Roman chariot. Mrs. McKown and later Mrs. Phil- blad were the ready and able sponsors of the club. Mrs. McKown's great in- terest in the Club will be missed by all. M.

PEP CLUB A weiner roast and initiation of new members followed by the traditional candle light ceremony held in the main hallway started the Pep Club off with 75 members enrolled to enact another year of K.H.S. history. In October the Pep Club put on an assembly representing the Abingdon game and showing the enthusiasm for our hopes of winning, which we did. Many other pep assemblies were presented throughout the year, especially when the Knox County Tournament and Regional were going on, which helped the team down Galesburg for the Hrst time in many years. This year the club took first in the clubs section in the Homecoming parade and won five dollars. Also sponsored by the club was the burning of the Alexis team in a bonfire followed by a snake dance held in back of the high school. At Christmas time the Pep Club and K-GAC Club held their Christmas party together in the study hall. An exchange of gifts, a program, and refreshments completed the party's activities. Busses were taken to most of the away football and basketball games providing the Pep Club girls with a means of transportation to fulfill their obligations as members by cheering our team to victory over our opponents. The bus drivers for these trips had to have good self control since most of the way there and back consisted of many loudly-sung songs, mixed with giggles and screams. A banquet in honor of the football and basketball players was held January 31 in the study hall with characteristic decorations carrying out the basketball and football atmosphere. A group of one hundred students and faculty members composed the attendance, with a dance following the delicious meal served and prepared by some of the club members' mothers. The spring formal was the scene of many handsome boys and pretty girls in gowns of every color of the rainbow in the beautifully decorated study hall marking almost the end of another year in the Pep Club history at K.H.S. Our club was led very capably by Dorothy Bratton, presidentg Pat johnson, vice-presidentg Ruth Patton, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Betty Yemm, holding the position of our advisor, gave many helpful hints and suggestions throughout the year. Last but not least, a breakfast was given as a farewell party to honor the graduating senior members leaving the club by the freshmen, sophomores, and junior members.

The Junior Red Cross is in its second year of organization at K.H.S. The purpose of the Junior Red Cross is to stimulate interest among high school students in Red Cross activities such as first aid, help to the sick and needy, and other humanitarian services. This club is associated with the Knox County junior Red Cross chapter, in which our Knoxville club is represented by Marilyn Pruett and Janet Roselle. Last year the membership was open to all students in the tenth grade or above. This year there has been a change, only seventh, eighth, and ninth graders being eligible for membership. Witli the help of Miss Robertson, chapter sponsor, and the information gained through county meetings, a chapter was formed, with Louise Bost as president, jim Swanson as vice-president, and Myron Dempsey as secretary-treasurer. Meetings were held twice a month during which time such projects as a clothes drive for the benefit of the Cfalesburg Detention Home and other campaigns for the welfare of needy people were carried out. Marilyn Pruett and Janet Roselle attended a county meeting at the Hotel Custer on January 12. Mr. Clevery, who had just returned from Korea, spoke on the Korean people and their need for clothing, food, and other necessities. Meetings of the Knox County Chapter were held the third Monday of every month, at which time our representatives were excused from school to attend. lg 70 1 GIRLS' CHORUS V V I Il ' f lj f 1 .1 .., , , J, .gi . -. . . ilirls' Chorus mcmlwcrw Arc, Funk Row: A.

Twenty-six boys, both bass and tenors, made up the boys' chorus this year. Practice sessions were held three times a week, and as a result, some very fine harmony was acquired. The chorus sang several numbers at the Homecoming program, a Christmas assembly, and the Talent-Stunt Show, which was held in January. The boys played an important part in the annual Spring Concert. The sixty member girls' chorus has also taken an active part in the various musical programs of the year. The chorus sang three-part music again this year, which took many hours of practice on the part of the mem- bers. Several selections were sung at the Homecoming program, a Wonianis Club party, and the Christmas assembly. The entire chorus participated in the Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies, the Music Festival, and the Spring Concert. This year, for the first time, a choir was selected to sing at the Commencement Exercises. Another important group in the music department has been the girls' sextet. Various church and beneht programs, along with school assemblies, highlighted their schedule for the year. The girls participated in the District Contest, and also took part in the exchange assembly which was presented to the ROVA students, during the latter part of February. This year, the sextet was composed of five seniors and one sophomore.

This 80 member band was under the able direction of Mr. Lloyd Swanson. This year the junior and senior high students have been divided into two separate practice bands, but have appeared at all musical functions as one combined band. The junior high met for practice during the first period, the senior high during the fourth period. For the Hrst time since its reorganization, the band has been active in county as well as community and school events. Throughout the year they played at various football games, assemblies, and P.T.A. meetings. They also participated in the Homecoming parade, Talent-Stunt Show, Knox County Music Festival, Galesburg Christmas Parade, and the Knox College Festival which was held in May. Two of the highlights from their schedule of events were the Band Concert which was presented April 20, and their part in the Commencement Exercises. Several individuals from the band played at various community programs. A coronet trio composed of Dick Gagg, Tom Walker, and Bob Woods played at the Talent-Stunt Show and the Homecoming program. Larry Harding, trombone soloist, took part in the Homecoming program, Talent-Stunt Show, and received second place at the District Contest. The nine member Swing Band which was first organized this year, played several numbers at the Concert as well as school assemblies. Plans for next year are to have an entire high school band, thus, the junior high will be only a training band for the senior school band. The Band Parents Club has been very active also, sponsoring a community sale, bake sale, rummage sale, and various other money making projects. Money gained through these projects have made it possible for the music department to order new uniforms, which will be used HGXI fall. Ten junior and senior high girls made up the majorette section this year. Betty Martin, Carol Ann Ferris, and Marilyn Nelson instructed the girls during the seventh period on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The majorettes appeared at all musical functions with the band. wen k - nf '9 f - 'Q , , M, ,vm Nsihumy A .age-agp -we , ma 1, ,b yn as-Z'fS,1f - ' figm- 5iwiw:f SEN? .4 sf- K fa qv. s X' . 5 Q, , -wp A an U 'Q ' ll HH l LLUHL XUXK I' SSL LS UL 15ll1 R N uxrw CHEERLEADERS Varsity cheerleaders are li. Martin, l', johnson, -I. W'liile, and li. Patton. This year the student body picked the cheer- leaders. Tryouts individually were made at an assembly in the first part of the school year, Those four receiving the most votes were varsity cheerleaders. The pony cheerleaders were also selected in this way. Ruth Patton, Pat johnson, Betty Martin, and JoAnne Wliite made up the foursome and really turned out some cute and peppy new cheers. They helped our team to victory by their hard work in leading the yells of the student body. The cheerleaders sported new outfits this year. Wliite satin tops trimmed in gold with cap sleeves and .1 blue megaphone with K.H.S. on it made up the blouse. For home games the girls wore white pleated skirts of the same ma- terial. Dark blue satin skirts were worn for games away. Thus they matched the team, since the boys wear white outfits at home and dark blue ones for away games. The pony cheerleaders were Norma England, Diana Klinck, and Sherry Randall. They also had new outfits, blue satin trimmed in gold with a yellow K on their blouses. The skirts were full with closely-fitted waists and bodices. These cheerleaders led the cheers which helped spur the reserves to many wins. iy cheerleaders are ll.

They met in the latter part of August and John Lar- son, editor-in-chief of the Blue Bul- letin, appointed the staff members to the various jobs connected with the publishing world of which we were now a part. Soon after school took up an advertising campaign started and subscriptions for the year to the Blue Bulletin were sold. Sally Hopkins, editor of the Jest- er, also appointed the positions for the Jester and preparations on the Jester started. Many ideas were planned and executed to muse money' Corn was Other staff members working on pictures are T. Putnam, L. Harding, J. V D. Pont, Carlson, Clevenger, Larson, If. Tucker, B. Rambo, S.

Many students received flowers and poems which were delivered by the staff. In the latter part of March, the staff put on an assembly and subscriptions for the Jester were taken. The carnival, held in April, helped to put more of the much-needed money into our treasury. On Class Day the 1951 Jesters were distributed. This marked the end of another eventful year in K.H.S. history. Mrs. McKown and Mrs. Philblad advised, censored, and corrected our ideas, making everything come out for the best in the end. l76l INITIATION Playing i'outh.ill during initiation are il' llouston, T. Pierson, Swanson. li. Peterson, and li. l,ent1. On a bright, sunny day, September Iii, 1950, everyone was feeling happy and gay . . . . all except the green freshmen. Probably the most unforgettable and most exciting event during a person's high school days is freshman initiation. The seniors on this day show their authority over the small and meek green freshies. This year you could not tell the boys from the girls for both had donned their mothers' dresses for this special day. The boys wore their mothers' Easter bonnets and the girls looked oh! so beautiful in swimming caps. Anklets and high heels finished the girls' apparel and tennis shoes looked very nice with the boys' lovely dresses. Brightly colored fingernail polish and pocketbooks were the boys' accessories. At noon the freshmen had to work for their dinner. They rolled an onion half a block with their noses and then ate the onion. Also at this time the senior boys went back to their boyhood days and toy wagons. The poor weak freshmen had to push or at least tried to push them around the track. All freshmen were forced to button at the seniors' demand. Freshies kneeling on their knees bel- lowing at the top of their lungs, I praise the seniors was heard all through the day. Pails came in handy for the freshmen to carry the seniors' books. An evening party was planned climaxing the events of the initiation. This featured various skits planned by the initiation committee and was presented by the freshies. Several freshmen appeared at the party dressed as characters in a comic strip. At the time all this seemed mean to the little freshies, but when you get to be a senior you say, Gee whiz, initiation was fun. I wish I was a green freshie Llgalinf' UST PARTIES Speakers at the annual Pep Club Banquet included faculty and athletic captains and the Pep Club president. Over one hundred boys and girls attended thc Banquet put on by the Pep Club to honor all of the athletic boys. U91 HOMECOMING The 1950 Homecoming festivities were held November 9 and 10. On Thursday afternoon K.H.S. had its first Homecoming parade, which proved to be successful. This was followed by the traditional snake-dance, another feature of the gala affair. Thursday evening the Blue Bullets lost their Homecoming game to Alexis in a heart-breaker, 9-O. Friday evening the annual Homecoming ceremony took place under the direction of the senior class. The western theme displayed a unique array of horses, saddles, whips, and cowboys. A very interesting program was presented. Individual honors were won by Diana and joan Klinck who gave impersonations. The sophomore class won the class prize with a skit entitled In a Western Cafe. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of Her Majesty the Queen. Gerald Lambert, as Mas- ter of Ceremonies, announced Jack Clevenger, '50 football captain, and Beverly Rambo, who led the beautiful procession, followed by the crownbearers, Terry Shearer and Artie Eklund. Following was the Third Maid of Honor, Susan Bybee, escorted by Jim Swanson. Her flowers were carried by Carolyn Bushong. Excitement increased as Janis Swigert, Second Maid of Honor, escorted by Jamie Bjorkman, entered with Erma Clay as her attendant. The procession proceeded as First Maid of Honor Colleen Howerter entered with her escort, Richard Johnson. Her flowers were carried by Pat johnson. Making a grand entrance the charming Queen, gowned in a beautiful dusty rose formal, approached the throne on the arm of her escort. Her bouquet of red roses was presented to her by attendant Marilyn Pruett. After the crowning, another Homecoming procession passed through the door with a new Queen reigning at K.H.S. The remainder of the evening was spent dancing to the music of Wayne Ashley. df- aff, X Q,1fL . . -Mx M: Q, fy, 5 vf 5 gm fi. 3 ,.,1Qm ,Q . ,g, Mfg' E W 2 Q u1lJY,,'v K I . 1 Q .

Roseberry, L. Cox, and M. Lindahl. On a snowy December 7, K'Brother Goose, the junior class annual play production, was successfully presented in the K.H.S. gym before a capacity crowd. This highly entertaining comedy centered around a family of orphaned children in the midwestern town of Ashton. jeff Adams Cjohn Woolseyj, the oldest of the four orphaned children, is a personable young architect who is weighed down with the responsibility of raising his younger brothers and sisters. XVhen he advertises for a maid to replace Helen QAlice Hutchinsonj, the latest of a long line of housekeepers, pretty Peggy Winkel QMary Jo Lindahlj, a hosiery saleswoman, is mistaken by Jeff as the maid applicant. Peggy, seeing the hectic con- dition of the Adams' home, decides to accept the posi- tion of housekeeper in spite of the mistaken identity. Wesley QMarvin Gustafsony is Jeff's seventeen year old brother who is continually in a state of intense ex- citement. When Eve Mason fDiana Roseberryj a Southern belle, moves into the house next to the Adams' home, Wes goes to all lengths to make a favorable im- pression on her, even to selling the family sewing machine in order to get money for buying a motor- cycle on which to escort Eve to a dance. The antics of Hyacinth QPat Simkinsl, Jeff's ten year old sister, kept the audience in an uproar through- out the play. , Lenore Hudson Uoan Carlsonj, a rather affected young lady, has recently inherited a fortune from an 82 uncle who died after making a million dollars in bubble gum. Lenoreis prime interest in life is snaring jeff for her own selfish devices. She and Hy are sworn enemies, with Lenore trying to persuade Jeff that Hy should be sent to a military school, and Hy counter-attacking with her own clever means of showing Lenore in her true colors. jeff's other sister, Carol fLorraine Coxj, does not care for Lenore either, and aids Hy's schemes at every turn. In the meantime, Peggy has fallen desperately in love with Jeff, but she believes jeff to be seriously in- terested in Lenore. So Peggy secretly leaves the Adams' home, looking for another job, to the dismay of every- one except Lenore, who is quite elated over the way things are turning out for her. However, Peggy is forcefully returned to the Adams family by Hy's foot- ball team. In the resulting excitement, Lenore contracts a bad case of poison ivy fcompliments of Hyj, Mrs. Trim- mer's CBeverly Brucej Wee Blue Inn blueprints are completed, Hy ends up with a shiny black eye, and Jeff discovers that Peggy is the one for him after all. The roles of Eve's Negro maid CPhyllis Morrellj and a tough truckdriver fRick Johnsonj, although minor parts, were well done and added to the finishing touches to make the play a success. Brother Goose was very capably directed by Miss Wilma Hasemeyer and Claudette Martin was the stu- dent director. Il SENIOR PLAY Members of senior play cast are, Back Row: R. Brown, K. Seward, W. Roseberry, I.. Harding, Ii. Tucker, ll. Clevenger, D. Bratton, G, Lambert. Seated: C. Coons, M. Smith, G. Peyron, HI. Stevens, P. Cooper, li. Sherwood. ll. Iarson, Miss Ilasemeyer, and IS. Young go over a difficult scene. The senior class put forth a successful finale to the stage of K.H.S. April 17th by presenting a three-act comedy play The Perfect Idiot. The play was highlighted around a boy genius, Dan Tennyson, capably portrayed by John Larson. Dan's worried mother and father were cleverly played by Phyllis Cooper and Keith Seward. Danis brother jackie, a popular lad, was performed by Ben Sherwood. Charming Linda, who fascinated Dan, was played by Gracie Peyron. The athletic Puff was ably portrayed by Jack Clevenger. A philosophical maid was played by Josephine Stevens, who gave a fine per- formance. Carla and Jeannie were Puff's and Jackie's peppy high school girl friends. Mr. Barnard, school principal and Linda's father, was played by Larry Harding. A fussy teacher was well played by Mary Smith. Mr. Latherby CGerald Lambe-rtj, a pompous soap manufacturer, added farcial humor to the play. A newspaper reporter featured Cristine Coons. The policeman, Ward Roseberry, and a brain specialist, Ralph Brown, completed the cast. It all started when the high school gang, who just despised Dan for his Smart Me! Dumb You! attitude, had to turn to him when Puff got disqualified from all 83 athletic events. Puff was the only hope for the school and Dan was elected to coach him. Dan had problems of his own but offered to tutor Puff if the gang would make him popular so that his parents would let him go to college. Dan feels college is the only place he can find friends mentally mature enough to be interesting. Very reluctantly the gang agrees. Linda likes the deal, all but having to go steady with Dan. Dan is fas- cinated by Linda. Dan gets busy with his hypnotic suggestion invention and makes Puff an outstanding scholar. Latherby, who has Dan on his radio program, gets interested in the hypnotic box too. Just as Dan gets everything rolling smoothly a series of wildly funny mishaps upsets the whole apple cart. After things seem to be all smoothed out Jackie, Dan's kid brother, spills some facts to send Linda on a ram- page. From then on events build to a climax that is every bit of the way full of fun. The senior class play proved to be one of the most entertaining performances ever to be given to K.H.S. The play was very capably directed by Miss Hase- mever. I PROM IN Greeting G. Lambert, lf. Tucker, J. Lalzollettc, R. Henderson, L. Cox, B. Roe, B Rambo, and J. Clevenger are Mrs. Huston and Mr. Miller. In the delightful setting of the Soangetaha Country Club, the juniors graciously honored the seniors at the 1951 Prom. The memorable event, held May 25, proved to be a grand climax to the activities of the year, and to the seniors, the ideal ending to all their high school years. Wlien the guests were called to dinner, the long concealed Mexican theme was revealed to the curious seniors. The Lista de Platos fmenuj included such typical Mexican food as Wliite Sombreros Qpotatoesj and Donkey Serenade Qmeatj. The dinner was served in the gayly decorated dining room. Wlien the delicious meal was finished, the eveningls master of ceremonies introduced the speakers. The president of the junior class, Juan Pedro CRichard Hendersonj, wel- comed the guests to A Fiesta in Old 'Mejico'.'l Senor Fernando lGerald Lambertj, presi- dent of the senior class, responded with 'Mejicans', We Say Gracias. The distinguished guests, Dr. Thomann and Dr. Jensen, concluded the evening's list of speakers. After the girls had visited the powder room to admire each other's formals, dancing to the rhythmic music ot' Bradley Williams' orchestra was enjoyed by the guests.

OCTOBER The annual Magazine Drive sponsored by the Student Council was carried on through the week of October 2nd through 9th, The Bullets, inspired by their first victory, went on to down the Abingdon Commandos by a 6-0 score on October 6th. Most of the faculty will agree that Friday the 13th was indeed an unlucky day for they had to attend Teach- ers' Institute while the students enjoyed a day of vacation. The 19th of October was a sad day at K.H.S. The reason? Report cards!! Wedding bells chimed for one of the faculty members, Betty Good- ing, who was married to Dick Yemm on the 20th. Congratulations and best wishes! Excitement reigned at K.H.S. when the man from Josten's arrived to take orders for the senior announcements and junior class rings. The Bullets were handed their Hrst loss of the season at the hands of the Aledo Green Dragons by a 19-6 verdict.

With all-out enthusiasm the K-GAC girls formed bowling teams and participated in a bowling tournament, meeting once a week at the Galesburg Bowl.

In the finals of the tournament the locals vs. Elmwood were defeated 54 to 39. JANUARY The 19th of January marked the end of the first semester. Semester exams were abolished last year so there were only the regular 6-weeks tests. The Student Council sponsored a dance after the Knox- ville-Geneseo game. Members of the Jester Staff could be found going from farmhouse to farmhouse picking up baskets of corn to make money for the yearbook. In the Knox County Tournament the Bullets found their way to the finals only to be defeated by a sharp-shooting Abingdon team. On the morning of the 27th, some of the members of the Science Club journeyed to Peoria for an educational QU trip. The Pep Cluib held a much deserved banquet for the foot- ball and basketball teams on the 31st. After the ban- quet, Sally Dinsmore threw a party for some of the seniors.

MARCH Inspired by this victory, the Bullets went on to down the R.O.V.A. Tigers and thus played in the finals with Abingdon. Abingdon again showed their superiority on the basketball floor by downing the home team 46 to 35. The sudden death of Mrs. CALENDAR McKown on March 4 was the saddest point of our school year. ln the way of intramural sports the senior boys won the class tournament and were forced to face the Faculty Hotshots in an assembly. The Hotshots won the game, 36 to 24. Easter brought a three day vacation to the students of K.H.S. The Knox County Music Festival originally scheduled for the 13th and postponed because of bad weather was held on the 27th. The Jester Staff sponsored the as- sembly held on Friday, the 30th.

With the help of our three courteous, cap- able, and dependable janitors, Austin Courter, Harold King, and Karl Stephens, our buildings, lawns and athletic fields are kept in excellent condition. This is really a task and few people realize what long hours and hard work are re- quired to keep our athletic fields and campus attractive. In the spring the grass has to be mowed and in the fall leaves have to be raked, not to mention the snow that must be kept off the walks in the winter time.

You now have your 1951 Jester in your hands. But it doesn't seem like this can be the end of the story-the end of our last year at K.H.S. We of the retiring staff would like to come back next year and do it all over again-even all the troubles and worries that we had. Yet we can not do that. That is for next year's staff to do. And right now we all want to wish next year's staff the best of luck with the 1952 Jester. Here in permanent form is the reflection of the year-in photographs and word pictures. This is the year as you lived it. Our job was to record it in the way we think you'll like to remember it. Every picture that you see and every word that you read in this book has to do with K.H.S. and the activities here. Our school is a friendly school and so we wrote our copy as if we were talking to you. Our whole theme in this book is to keep K.H.S. and the faculty and students ever in your minds. We wanted our word pictures to keep and make events real as they happened and as we all know them at Knoxville High School. A special note of appreciation goes to those who helped to make our yearbook-our photographer, printer, and engraver. Mr. Bill Glicssman, who took the pictures, was well known and liked by all of the staff. His interest in helping to make the book a good one and his suggestions were greatly appreciated. For the pictures of the Homecoming Parade and the shots of the Galesburg-Knoxville game, we thank the Register-Mail and their photog- rapher, Mr. Carruthers. Also to John Larson, a member of the Staff, we thank you for taking the pictures Mr. Gliessman couldn't get. Of course, we could not have put out this book at all if we hadn't had an engraver, but we had one-and a good one, too. We acknowledge Grubb's Engrav- ing Company as doing the wonderful engraving of our pictures. The printer for the Jester was none other than Wagoner Printing Company from Gales- f96 burg. You can see for yourself that they also did a magnificent job and we thank them for their fine work. We of the journalism department worked under a handicap this year, as you all know. The direc- tion of our advisor, Mrs. McKown, during the first part of the year, was invaluable to us and we could never have done the job without her ready helping hand. Her sudden death was a great shock to us and so we wanted to make this yearbook the finest ever for her memory. We must say something here about the fine work and co-operation of Mrs. Phil- blad, who took over Mrs. McKown's position. She gave valuable suggestions and helped in every way to make this book possible. I also want to say a personal thank you to the members of the Jester Staff. They all put in many long and extra hours of work and planning to make each and every page of the book worth reading. The pictures were carefully planned to portray the actual happenings of events here at K.H.S. I appre- ciate their hard work and willing help. Two mem- bers of the Jester Staff wrote the poem which appears in the front and throughout the book. We believe that you will enjoy this book, we hope that you will. We have enjoyed making and working on it, even the solving of the problems which occurred, and believe us, there were many. We want you to judge the book carefully and justly criticize, but please keep in mind that we are stu- dents, too, and had to attend classes. We hope that you, the reader, will help future staffs to main- tain the high standards in producing other volumes as set down by the past. We say a final thank you to all of the students of K.H.S. and to the faculty who, by their co-opera- tion in every way, helped to make the publishing of this book possible.
