I, Elwyn Wilson, will my place on the honoi roll to Fob Wright.

Now Kenny” is a ladies' man, Especially rith Hiss Rose Ann; You never see them around at noon, Unless they're in the typing room. Haida is a hearty soul- Early marriage '. as her goal. Now she lives on the Bread of Life You see, she is a Pastor's rife. Our Pal Chuck —a very good sport, Sailed around from port to pert. His occupation beats the band, For he selves cokes in Hula-land . Don's vocation------never fear y;as meant to be an engineer; But Don has found a v ifey dear, We'll let you guess-who's engineer? And now Virginia is--C! I’other of a Dormitory. , Glory 1 (men's of course) 3lor but steady wins the race, In the quest for a pretty face; 3uelr;l Hergen nor defies Anyone to swipe his prize. 'Tho comes next on our list? Dfhv, Georgia steps out of the mist; And lor and behold! .’hat does she do But go as nurse from school co school. Now ithel is a friendly lass, The biggest heart in oui’ rhole class. And soon a beau, I'm Sure she'll hook; Because re know she's one swell cook. Gladys Suter-------Lc ! Behold i A sreeter story was never told; For surely 'tis a life of charm That's led upon a sergeant's arm. The best known man in the land Is Harlow and his swing band. This great maestro reached his height By practicing faithfully, day and night. Irene was a bashful lass, She hardly ever spoke in class; No one knows where it had its startin' But nor she runs a kindergarten. Leaf River is a dumpy dive, On quiet life it seems to thrive; Yet we're convinced that Betty Elair Could hand the tornfolk quite a scare. Ps for the big shot of the group, de're glad to say that he's no droop. Since ’Villie's an ambition lad, His card with many A's is clad. One member of our noble group Decided he would fly the coop. But, oh---Alas i ’.That do we hoar? From Izzy comes a lusty cheer. There in the outer office sat Verla gabbing of this and that; Coke in 'er hand, or book on 'er knee, Beckoning you, or wes it me? Elva Schrader----------a lively gal I Has a simple story to tell. She's out to Reno [ She's back again I Her list of trips? Well, only ten. And last v e have the Eoitor Who claims that annuals are a bore, So now there's little can be done 3ut turn 'er thoughts away from one. No harm is meant Hope none is done; The class Fo-ems Are all in fun. SEN! OK HISTORY On August 30, 1937, the studios began the cur- rent picture of the year Class of '41 with a cast of thirty-four.

This year, in order to more accurately portray the school at work (ana at play), the number of pictures has been increased. These additional pictures permit a finer detail of the functions of organizations and activities. We feel that this annual will be a source of pleasure, through the years, to all v ho are noy in school and those who have previously been connected with it. We hope it will bring back pleasant memories of good old L. R. C. F. S. ---- Days gone, but not forgotten.---- STAFF Editor-------------- Advertising Managers Art Editor---------- Advertising Section- Calendar— Joke:--------------- Production Manager--' Sales Manager------- Snap Shot Editor---- Sports Editor------- Stencilist---------- —Thelma Fuchs •--Elwyn 7 ilson •Charles Kilker ---Betty Blair •Maida Kagemann -Georgia Myers --Donald Light —Wilson Baker Verla Wilhelms Charles Kilker -Eugene Mergen -Irene ’Vessels THE L£AfL£T I I l The Leaflet, our school paper which is put out by a staff chosen from the Senior class with a fen Juniors as assistants, is published twice monthly, 1 It is financed by a small charge to subscribers and by the aid and cooperations given it by business men 9 of the community through their advertising. 4 The subscription campaign was carried on by the two societies, as usual this year. The Arthurians 1 were victorious. The last issue is traditionally published by the new staff in order to acquaint them thoroughly with their duties. Our contact with Mr. Mings, the adviser, has been a most joyful and educational one. His ability, originality and helpful advice has been a great help in all of our undertakings.

All the Freshmen except one and a few Sophomores r.ade a good class. Eleven students completed the Falmdale Fractice Set in which the student enters the main office of a bus- iness which, during vacation periods, prepares its future employees for branch-store service. After learning the general work of the main office and also the policies of the firm, , the student is promoted to the managership of one oif the branch stores in a small town. It is noi assumed t iat students will nec- essarily go out of school and become managers; but for a person to know all that he should know about a business, it is necessary that he be placeo in a pos- ition where he is entitled to receive the most in- timate information possessed by the business.The stu- dent is allowed to exercise those most valuable qual- ities—imagination, judgment, and initiative. This is in no sense a bookkeeping project, though most stu- dents of bookkeeping would find it much easier with a background of these fundamental business practices. At the close of the fifth six-weeks period in Typing I, Violet Borneman, Janice Garner, and Lois ,'inche had won their gold 50-word pins; Geraldine Kretsinger, Bill Hotter, Jean Taubert, and Keith Gallup had won their silver 40-word pins. The Typing I Team, Violet, Janice, and Lois, won second in the District Commercial Contest at Fecatonica and second in the Sectional Commercial contest at Lena. The bookkeeping team placed third in the District. The department also supervises the publishing of THE LEAFLET and the LE RI CO. Here some of the most valuable training of the department is divided among two large staffs and their assistants. An appreciable amount of stencil cutting, a thorough knowledge of duplicating methods, and important responsibilities are seldom ever possible for all members of advanced typing. A great deal of hectograph work was done this year. m i IS o LE RI CO fiJA to fvic'ht- C on teo K4 ’Va UJve riiO JucAo iWome ifteAoe n, otwiyn, bivxm f onc'l . -vloAt ilii m E3 PI t Jofun to. jT Rhythm in our nursery rhymes, or should we say typing drills- l 0 ES- ia) 0 LE RI CO to t ■ Sott B'txavi a-via .’Kcio 'xiwa toi-t cm ea Q Gca Io.

This group went on to the sectional at Glen Ellyn where they were placed in the III division. As none of the group is graduating, the sextette should do well next year. Violet Borneman should be commended for her faithful work as accompanist for the choruses and boys' quartette. Raegene Garner has also served diligently as accompanist for the other ensembles.

Members are: String Trio Jean Taubert Eleanor Weinstein Farlow Werkheiser Accompanist-- Raegene Garner Cornet Trio Raegene Garner Iris Schrieber Barbara Kilker Accompanist-- Mary Lou Jones Not to be forgotten is the Fep band which performed at all of the home basketball games.

BETTY BLAIR 1 9 4 1 A Good Egg , a comedy in three acts, was pre- sented Friday evening, May 2, by the Junior Class. It was a play loaded with youth—it showed Spirit, loyalty, a delightful way of blundering along to a solution of youths own problems. Junior was af- flicted with petticoat fever , his marks in school were all D's and his parents were distraught. Ex- citing adventures came racing to meet Junior and his pal; Buenos, and before they had run their course, all of Junior's family and many of his friends were drawn into these adventures. Junior got his girl- friend's brother mixed up with a criminal and turned up in the doghouse. Everything turned out in a hap- py ending with Junior no longer a mere child but a hero.
