She boarded an airline stratoliner and started on her journey. One of the first surprises that she received was to find that the pilot and Co-Pilot was none other than Bob Wright and Donald Mayer. Also on the same plane she found that the stewardess was her ola friend Miss Eleanor Bowman. Her first stop was Cheyenne, Whyoming. Upon arri- val she found that Joe Seidenburg was living on the X-0 Ranch near Cheyenne, breaking Broncos. After visiting at the ranch for several days she continued her journey westward to Hollywood, The City of Glamour . Here she visited the Cocoanut Grove where the famous Ballroom Dancers, Fred Astaire and Eleanor Weinstein were per- forming for the huge crowd that throng into the Movie Star•s playground . Leaving the Western part of our great United states she traveled south where she planned to visit some of the country. Again she met with a surprise for on a beautiful plantation just outside of Atlanta she en- countered none other than Everett Jones, who is now owner of a thriving cotton plantation. Again resuming her journey she decided to visit the great metropolitan Center, the city of New York. One of her first stops was at the Stork Club rendezvous for celebreties of stage, screen and radio'. She was met by the gracious hostess, Miss Violet Borneman. Miss Borneman told Miss Hartje that another member of the '42 graduating class was also in that very same club. This proved to be Miss Pat Uagner, Earle Car- roll's most promising Chorus girl. After chatting with the two girls she visited some of the points of interest about the great city, stopping at the public library she found that the head librarian was Miss Vera Kendel, who was using her high school experience to a great advantage. The Le Ri Co of 1942 == She then went back to the scene of her childhood, Adeline. Working diligently in the state Bank, as cashier, was Kenneth Myers. She found out from him that Ellis Rothermel was raising pure bred spotted hogs on his father’s farm south of Adeline. She then went north to the village of Ridott where she visited the Bawinkle experimental farm and found that Gerald had just completed a new type nest for laying hens. ,. Near the Bawinkle experimental farm was the Leer- hoff residence where she found Marian Motter happily married. After visiting her friends for a few days she embarked on her journey for a visit to the Windy City Chicago. Needing the services of a hair dresser, she stopped at one of the World's largest hotels, the beat- iful Hotel Stevens. The head Beautician at the beauty salon was none other than Florence Tutt. As you know the famous upsweep-downsweep hair styles by Miss Tutt is being worn by fashionable women the world over. The two women reminisced and Miss Hartje learned from Miss Tutt that another classmate, Bonnie palmer, was now employed as a Secretary to the Manager of Mar-shall Field Department store in Chicago. She didn't have time to visit with her old friend as she wanted to get in some bowling before leaving for Evanston, her next stop. At that time there was a bowling tournament taking place and one of the contestents bowling for World Champion- ship with Ned Day, was Dick Fager. He had been bowling with the A. B. C. for several years. She found out from Mr. Fager another classmate was residing in the windy city. t _ . Entertaining audiences nightly in the spacious Camellio House of the Drake Hotel for the enjoyment of society people in and around Chicago was Miss Janice Garner. Miss Hartje visited her former classmate and then motored to Evanston where she visited friends who took her to see the Northwestern vs Michigan football game. The Head Coachat Northwestern was an outstanding athlete at Leaf River for four years, Royal Zellers. Her journey was now completed and she returned to fill an engagement with the Sonja Henie Revue at Sun Valley Idaho. rThe Le Ri Co of 1942ft r i L be, the Seniors of 1942 of Leaf River Community High School, County of Ogle, State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory and of legal age, do therefore make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, annulling any and all Will or Wills by us made heretofore: We give and bequeath to the faculty, all the noise and commotion around the school building, our make-be- lieve industriousness, our marked up text books, and other worthless things we have left behind.

The Le Ri Co of 1942 BOYS IN CAMP We, the members of the Le F.i Co staff, in behalf of the Facu3.ty and the student-body wish to pay our tribute to the loyal boys, who were once members of our school and are now so faithfully serving in Uncle Sam's Army. Many of these boys were quite active in school activities, and we know they are all willingly and fullheartedly doing their part in defending our coun- try. There are a few boys who have been called but have not left. We wish to extend our best wishes to then. We also wish to salute our former teachers who are en- gaged in active duty. Best wishes to you all, and Goa Bless You. FORMER INSTRUCTORS IN LEAF RIVER SCHCCL John Mings, Scott Field, Belleville, ill.

Three days later, with the help of our class ad- visor, Miss Hillier, the 16 boys and 11 girls elected the following class leaders: President---------------------Evelyn Schelling Vice President---------------Darlene Schelling Sec..and Treas.--------------Richard Dickinson Student Council Rep.----------Donald Weinstein Keith Wilson Our President was later chosen the most popular girl in the class. On September 15, people looking at the freshman Hojne Ec. girls would have thought they were seein' things. The girls had their clothing on backward and brought their little dolls to classes. It was soon ex- plained to the onlookers that this was Home Ec. ini- tiation day and that the worst was yet to come (which proved very true.) The F.F.A. boys were initiated to the chapter on December 22, but wore their clothing properly. On September 26, we had a wiener roast at Krape Park in Freeport. After some came back, dripping wet, from a boating trip, we skated on a nearby rink. The Freshman class is looking forward to the time when it can welcome another class of green little freshies.« The Le Ri Co of 1942 SOPrlOMOKE S We began school this year with 27 students enrolled in our class. Some of our former class- mates have left school, but their places have been taken by some new members which are, namely: Vir- ginia Fleming, who formerly attended Byron High School; Merle Pals, who attended C-erman Valley Ac- ademy last year; and Leo. Allen, who attended For- reston High School, and who became a valuable mem- ber of Mr. Kinsley's baseball team. The leading social events of the year have been a wiener roast at Krapes Park after which we all attended a show and the school Halloween Party which our class sponsored.

A wiener roast and skating party was enjoyed by the members of the class and the faculty in K'rape Park during the latter part of September. Everything rolled along smoothly until, re- turning to school after Christmas vacation, we found that Jean Taubert had flown the coop.

Besides the regular class work, we put out the Leaflet and an annual which takes the interest of a number of our students. The Typing II class gets a groat deal of practical experience doing Church bulletins, programs and various jobs for the teach- ers ana people of the community. We are in hopes that from the general knowledge we obtain from the commercial subjects,----------we will be benefited and find it easier to fit our- selves for the job. The Le Ri Co of 1942 At the beginning of the school year the following boys were electee as officers of the Future Farmers of America. President------------Royal Zellers Vice-Fres.-----------Robert bright Secretary----------Ellis Rothermel Treasurer----------------Don Mayer Reporter---------------Verle Fogle Ellis Rothermel was awarded the state Farmer De- gree during the summer. The Sectional Livestock show was held at Freeport in Sept., Don Mayer, Ellis Rothermel, Richard Fager, Orner Rowland, and Verle Fogle exhibited stock. The F. F. A. sponsored a magician's show in Oct. The Small Grain and Poultry Show was held in Nov. The boys did very well as a school, taking 2nd place in net earnings. The following boys were iniatiated as Green Hands in Dec.; Alan Janssen, Albert Book, Harold Book, Donald Zellers, Duane Davis, Shelby Cain Jr., Keith Wilson, and Calvin Borneman. The Parent and Son Banquet was held in February. ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club organized September 4, 1941, having a membership of forty. The following officers were elected: President------------Barbara Kilker Vice Pres.------Genevieve Hasselman Secretary-------------Mae Schreiber Treasurer-----------Helen Schelling The new members were initiated Sept. 15 at a party given in their honor. In October a few club members attended a District Rally Day for High School Clubs at Savanna. A Christmas party was held in December for the club members. Gifts were exchanged and lunch was served. In January, they prepared and served the Farmer's Evening School Banquet. Twenty-eight enrolled in the Home Making classes this year. The Le Ri Co of 1942 ft The club was organized by the cheer-leaders of 1940-41, who were Janice Garner and Verla Wilhelms, for the purpose of acquainting the students with our school yells. When the first meeting of the club was calledfor the year 1940, thirty or thirty-five girls and a few boys pledged their loyalty to the school by joining the ranks of '«Pep Club Members. They were expected to attend as many games as possible and were asked to buy caps with the initials of our school on them. This year the same idea was carried through, except pins were substituted for the caps. rThe Pep Club this year is under the direction of Barbara Kilker, Mary Jones, Ruby Baker, and Keith Wilson.- Last year the club members got a real work-out at the Route 72 Conference Championship game in which the Blue Demons defeated their obstinate opponents, the invincible Ashton team. This year the championship game was played between these same two teams under sim- ilar circumstances; howevei, the outcome seemed more or less of a calamity to the loyal backers. The cheers were led by our four capable cheer- leaders to whom we wish continued success for the com- ing year for their efforts in keeping the Pep Club mem- bers on their toes and ready to cheer the team on to victory. ■ The Le Ri Co of 194£ HOKE ECONOMICS C L U 3 FOURTH ROT—Beatrice Becker, Genevieve Kasselman, Genevieve Kappenman, Marie Ils, Virginia Fleming, Barbara Kilker, Dorothy Araneman, Janice Garner, Bonnie Palmer , Bernice Mergen THIRD ROW—Eleanor Bowman, Dorothy Mathiot, Patsy ’,7agner, Jeanette Mayer, Lucille Pruning, Florence Tutt, Violet Bornenan, Mae Schreiber, Mary Jones, Eleanor Weinstein SECOND RO.T—Evelyn Schelling, Marian Martin, Lois Winche, Lola Iloverland, Helen Schelling, Ruby Baker, Virginia Vagner, Betty Wilhelms, Irene Pierce FIRST ROT--Helen Rauch, Donna Schreiber, Darlene Schelling, Iris Schreiber, Raegene Garner, Doris 77inche, Viola Eartje, Evelyn Greiff, Miss Watson F.

It was a play full of laughs and the moral was a plea for better un- derstanding between parents and children. Bob was a bashful boy who didn't care about girls, ana Eleanor felt the same about boys. ’Then his parents insisted on hi s taking Eleanor out, Bob flew in a rage, but when they did meet, everything turned out differently. They went together one night and the earth seemed to have swallowed them up. They couldn't be found. ’Then they finally returned their parents learned that they were in love. Then they really had something to worry about.

It was centered around Eddie Barry's great ambition of attending a famous New York singing school. This, he believed, could be easily done--if he had $200. In an attempt to gain it, he entered the hometown Woman's Club essay contest. After much ridiculing from being wrongly blamed for entering an essay from the work of a famous author, he received the $200 prize for his original essay, which enabled him to fulfill his ambitions.

Agnes Hartje The L9 Ri Co of 1942 D r 1 K nsAi The 1941-42 basketball season proved to be a fair one considering the tough competition the boys were up against. In the earlier stages of the season the boys met defeat of- ten by only one or two points, but on return games the Blue Demons made amazing comebacks by defeating many of the teams that earlier had defeated them. The finest example of their comeback was the fine exhibition displayed in the 72 confer- ence tourney. They played Byron and Forreston, defeating both, and then met the strong favorites, Ashton, for the Championship game which Leaf River lost by but four points winning second place. They placed third in the District Tourney. The final game was played giving Leaf River nine wins and seventeen defeats. They placed sixth in the Conference standings. The lightweights had a very successful season by win- ning 10 out of 17 games. The lightweights placed second in the conference standings. SCHEDULE T ’ ? r • r Vi ca Y� _ L.R. 19-- OPP.

CrThe Le Ri Co of 1942 Due to the fact that the Annual must be published be- fore track season starts there will be no articles about it in the Annual. The '42 track reports will therefore be en- tered in the 1943 Annual. We have the makings of a fine track team which will probably prove to be a very successful track season. LEAF RIVER ATHLETES Here are the boys who realize That it takes work to win the prize They worked hard and did their best To try and win in each contest, They're all good sports, And play by rules From all of the reports You'll see that they're not fools. When you have tried so very hard To do the best you can, A word of praise is a great reward So give these boys a hand.

Although these things handicapped then, they played their best brand of ball,and sportsmanship ran high. They are all looking forward to the season of 194£, when they will redeem themselves and play the kind of kittenball which Leaf River is noted for. The boys won one game out of five.
