This years' annual, you will notice, has a new name, the Le-Ri-Co. However this annual is not a substitute, but we the Senior class, feel that it will serve as a genuine and lasting monument to this our class of 1938 . We also feel that its new name, Le-Ri-Co , which was adopted through the coo- peration of the student body and the courtesy of the Student Council, is more appropriate to the name of the school. We trust that future classes will find this name suitable for their annuals and adopt it as a permanent title. No one knows better than we the amount of hard work and cooperation that is required to prod- uce such a record of events. We now fully rea- lize the truthfulness and seriousness of Abra- ham Lincoln's worJs when he said, A house di- vided against itself cannot stand. To our courageous adviser, Mr. Vaupel; Jane Myers for her art work; Trnest Wertin for his supervision of the mimeograph; the advertising merchants; and everyone who helped to produce this annual—we express our deepest gratitude and whole-hearted thanks. We sincerely hope you will find this annual a lasting treasure of recorded activities, thoughts and pleasures. OUR SCrJOOi The present Leaf River Community High School district was organized in 1920.

A forced air ventilation system and an ample number of windows assure plenty of fresh air and light at all times. Nine available class rooms furnish plenty of space for all school act- ivities. A fine gymnasium allows the school to offer a well rounded athletic program. A fine auditorium is available for all school and many community gatherings. The building provides for a complete Home Economics Department and Smith Hughes Vocational Agricultural. Both departments are approved by the State. During the past year the fine athletic field has been used and much enjoyed by the student body. A course in French has been added to the cirriculum. FACULTY (left to right) Gustav Busing Eugene F.

As lie sits quietly at his desk, his pencil drops iro i hand arid ;ie falls asleep. The characters of his cartoon seen to take life and fit them- selves into the pattern of his thoughts. It seems that Miss foms, better known as Ethel is giving, dictation to Miss Dorothy Konstant. She is givin • the names of the people present at the wedding of the Noble Earl Mathiot to Miss Dorothy Schrader--two great society leaders. One could hear the name of Ted Bowman, the man who is feeding popeorn hash to his chickens; the popcorn pops and the eggs turn over in the frying pan by themselves. Now, Glenda 'ilson, the author of How to Keep Your Man , for women only, has been re- cently married. The next is that well known mechanic, Leo'Wertin, who for the last several years has been working on a left handed monkey wrench which he wanted to use when he was in high school. Talk about style, here is Miss Laverne Pals, the traveling woman, coming in with the greatest grand opera pianist of all times, Miss Jane Myers. None other than the President of the United States, Floyd Gesin, now makes his appearance, and who is with him but Miss Ardis Fager, the first woman treasurer of the United States. .:r. and Mrs. Milford Gesin are present Milford, as you know, set a world record for shaving men. He shaves an average of eighty- three men Fer hour. He took quite a few les- sons from ills wife's father when he was in high school. General Motors' most prominent car salesman, •lr. Villard Fry, Jr., is present and with him is the great beauty culturist, Miss Maxine Ho- bart . Mr. James Patterson, well known stage actor, is present. He is expected to be in Hollywood very shortly, as he still has a marvelous voice. There are very few real American Indians left in the United States, and the few that re- main are on a reservation under the supervision of Virgil Melvin and his secretary, Bernice Gallup. The Duluth Toothpaste Company is well rep- resented at the wedding. The owner a very smart business woman is Mrs. Martin formerly Margaret Hyan with whom we are all familiar. She was present and had with her that girl you see in so many advertisements. Miss Mildred Myers, who has that forever smile. And now, for a well known coach in Shadow- ville High, we are introduced to Mr.LyallTau- bert, who is a great success in this world. The grave looking linister, who is to hoad the wedoin procession is none other than that gr at Chicago minister, Sherwood Guyer. Mr. Martje wakens Just as Mr. Floyd Moss seats himself at the organ to play the wodding march; he quickly grabs his pencil and com- pletes his cartoon, the greatest sensation ever published by the New York Times .

Our class adviser was Miss Schmertman. The first, harrowing ordeal in which we par- ticipated was cur initiation. We were badly scared but it turned out to be much eas- ier than we had anticipated.

During the latter part of the school year Robert Kuntzelman, Viola Noffsinger and Millard Weiler dropped out. When we came back to high school for our Jun- ior year we found our class had diminished to twenty-three members. Some of the missing had quit school and others were going to another high school because of the district surround- ing Leaf River being somewhat changed. At our Junior class meeting we elected the following officers: Warren Schmidt--------------President Robert Hedrick--------Vice President Ellis Stukenberg------------Secretary Jason Martin----------------Treasurer Mar ion Schelling-Student Council Rep.

On August 31, 1936, a very green looking group of 26 boys and girls enrolled as fresh- men. Mr. Vaupel was chosen for our class ad- visor. In a few weeks we were initiated which resulted in a lot of fun and entertainment. During the year three new members started in as freshmen. These were Lois Hagemann, Harold Hilmer and Elmer Borgman. Arlene John- son moved to Rockford, so that made a total of 28. Our class officers of that year were: Gerald Hedrick----------------President Howard Cramer--------Vice President Helen Windhorst---------------Secretary Gloria Patterson--------------Treasurer -Wiley Light and Geraldine Taubert-- Council Representatives August 3C, 1937 found the class rather chang- ed .

Refreshments consisted of Ice Cream Sundaes and Wafers. We had very good attendance, nearly everyone being able to come and despite the weather a good time was had by all. r r KHSrJjVIAM On Monday, August 30, 1937 there were thir- ty-four green freshmen; that's what they called us. I here were sixteen girls and e ighteen boys. After the first couple of weeks Edwin Ackerman, one oi our classmen, quit school. Four months alter school started Harley Knapp moved to Rock!ord. Charles Furman came into our class in December making thirty-three left in our class. ivian Bradley started the second sem- ester with us. ’Ve were bashful and shy at first but after a couple of weeks wo were better acquainted with our upper classmen.

The beys; chorus mot and elected the follow- ing of f x .ers ; Lya.'.] Tauber -----------President Ellis Stuckenberg--------Lx orari an Gerald Fuchs---------------Secretary Maida Soheliing--------------Pianist The first few weeks were spent in getting the voices placed and improved for the Operetta in which the boys' chorus participated. ihe chorus worked diligently on the numbers tse - were to sing in the Christmas program but because of ,ir. Grove's accident and absenoe the program wasn't given. The boys' chorus had to be 1 icaited to eight- leen to meet the requirements for the Sub-dis- .iusic contest held at Polo, April ninth. The chorus received honors in the second di- vision .and were given credit for some very fine singing. The boys' chorus participated in the annual Ogle County iusic Festival held at Oregon May thirteenth. All the boys in the chorus have spent an en- joyable year and feel they have laid the foun- dation for a permanent organization. MIXED CHORUS ihe mixed chorus is composed of members of the boys' and girls' glee clubs. They sang: Open Our Eyes by ’ 'ill C, Mac- farlane and Morning Now Beckons a Czecho- Slavakian Folksong in the sub-district contest and took part in the annual Ogle County Music Festival hold at Oregon May thirteenth. GIRLS' CHORUS The girls' chorus met early in the school year and elected their officers, having meet- ings twice a week, 'Vodnesdays and Fridays. The following officers wore elected: Mar gar e t ? r ight--------Pr s id ent Jeraloine Taubert-----------Secretary Marion Schilling------------Treasurer Ruth Foss lor---------------Librarian The beginning of the year there were twenty- five members in the chorus, but seven were e- 1i.mino tod to comply with the rules of the sub- district contest which was held at Folo, April the ninth. The chorus was rated in the second division. They sang Lullaby by Cain and Gypsy Fires by Trecharne. The chorus made an excellent appearance in their new surplices made for the chorus by the clothing class. After the new students and freshmen had drawn the name of the society to which they were to belong, the Arthurian and Shakespearean societies withdrew to their respective rooms for the election of officers. The results of these elections were as fol- lows : Shakespereans Society Gerald Fuchs------------President Clifford Hartje--Vice President James Patterson---------Secretary Donald Motter-----------Treasurer Ellis Stukenberg-----Cheerleader Arthurian Society Milford Gesin-----------President Willard Fry--------Vice President Margaret V right--------Secretary Dorothy Schrader--------Treasurer Geraldine Taubert----Cheerleader Immediately following the election the mem- bers engaged in the Annual Leaflet sales com- petition. Interest was very nigh and compet- ition very strong, but the Arthurian society was the victor by a narrow margin. The Arthurian society rejoiced and the Shakespear- ean society offered numerous excuses, but the Leaflet was the victor by about two hundred- thirty subscriptions. Ordinarily the societies engage in athletic competition, but the rush of the 1ast few months of school allowed no vacancies in which the annual volleyball and basketball games might be played. e a GIRLS' CHORUS SACK ROW (left to right) Jane Myers, Marlene Hazzarc , Ardis Pager, Mildred Myers, 'label Kappermann, Verla ilhelms, Marjorie Buskohl, Glenda ’7ilson, Arlene Zilliox.

A clothing exhibit of new fashions and new fabrics from the Textile Institute in New York was displayed. Later we had the use of this attractive collection in our school for a week. Upper class girls who have been active in the club have purchased the Betty Lamp pin --the national Home Economics Club emblem. The most interesting discuss ions of the sea- son concerned social conduct and good grooming for girls.

De man in room seben has done hang himself. Clerk--- Hanged himself? Did you cut him down? Boy----- No sah 1 He ain't dead yet 1 A doctor had an urgent phone call from Mr. Busing saying one of his Ag. Students had swallowed his fountain pen.

Guyer-- Between us, my father and I we know everything in the world. J. Pat---- All right then, smarty , where s Pat- agonia? � S. Guyer-- Well, that's one of the questions my father knows. Leo '.Vertin- I'll give you a dime, if you'll kiss me. S Moss---- Pooh 1 on that stuff--I can get a quarter for taking castor oil. Mr. Grove was correcting a boy who had said, I ain't going there.” That's no way to talk. Listen: I am not go- ing there; you are not going there; he is not going there; we are not going there; they are not going there. Do you get the idea?” Yes sir. They ain't nobody going there. Miss Schmertman-- Can you give me an example of wasted energy, Geraldine? Geraldine-- Yes, ma'am. Telling a hair-raising story to a bald-headed man. Glen was driving a transfer truck down the street in Leaf River. Hey, Glen, called Motter from across the street, do you get paid for that? Naw, replied Glen, disgustedly, this is a free wheeling job. Mrs. Vaupel-- Do you remember, Paul, how .you used to catch me in your arms every night? Mr. Vaupel-- Yes, dear, and now I catch you in my pockets every morning. Annoyed by two women talking at a movie, Arnold tapped one of them on the shoulder. Pardon me, but I can't hear a thing. You're not supposed to, snapped back the woman. This is a private conversation, and its none of your business. Having heard someone address Ernest Wertin as Speed ; Miss Schmertman remarked: Which speed are you, high or low? Ernest-- I don't know. When I go down the street some people say, Hi Speed , others say Lo, Speed. i V C ' v jVJ I f f J o Jr 2 AND SUBER ? £ M M OIL BATTERY CHARGING GOODY £ A X TIDES AND TUBE S FRY'S GARAGE PHONE 31-B LEAF RIVER, ILLINOIS k 0 o: o KDVECR [| 00MMQJ WOUW B MWO( BYRON, ILLINOIS STAY OVERNIGHT A T HAT RIVE ft I N M HOME COOKED MEALS Mrs. Cline Griffin, Prop.
