LERICO LERICO The LERICO is published annually by the Sen- ior class with the cooperation of several under- classmen At the close of each school term, the following year's annual staff is appointed by the staff advisor and immediately after the first sem- ester, work is started. This year we had the good fortune to receive as Freshmen, Katherine Boomgarden and Esther Baal, who drew free hand all the art work in the annual. The following staff presents this, the 8thvol- ume of the LERICO, in hopes that in future years it will help to recall pleasant memories of the 1943-44 term at Leaf River High School.

Vernal Foltz received a prize for making the most original scrapbook. The prize was presented at a Christmas par- ty held at the school house December 16 Games, a novel lunch, dancing and an exchange of gifts filled a delightful evening. A list of all the graduates of this school nov in service ves compiled, and letters contain- ing news of the school and community were sent to the boys. URICO THE LEAFLET Our school paper, The Leaflet, Is published once each month. It contains news of the school, introduces us to each member of the graduating class by its Senior Personalities, gives activi- ties of social clubs, and provides students with commercial training. This year three students have been chosen from each class to report the activities of its members. The Leaflet offers local businesses an opportunity to advertise, and we wish to extend our appreciation to them and to our subscribers for their assistance in financing our paper. The Leaflet owes much of its success to the diligence and cooperation of the staff, but most of all to the unprecedented efforts of our advis- or, Mrs. Norton.

The highlight of the year was the Junior- Senior Banquet, which was held at the Hotel Nelson in Rockford. We began our most memorable year of education to date when the doors of Leaf River High were re- opened again on August 31, 1943,to admit the Class of � 44. The following officers were elected: President----------------Verle Fogle Vice-Pres.--------------------Ramona Lolling Secretary--------------------Phillip Ballard Treasurer--------------------Raegene Garner Student Council-------Kenneth Lovell Betty Croft The beaming faces of our 17 class members were photographed on September 22, and all the pic- tures turned out exceptionally well. On Friday, November 5, our play cast defied all superstition by presenting That’s the Ticket. Early in November, Lyle Hundertmark left school to enter the Navy, thus Lyle is not actually a mem- ber of the graduating class. Good Luck, Lyle. When the issue of graduation attire came be- fore the class, the decision was unanimous in favor or royal blue caps and gowns. Everyone of us is looking forward, perhaps re- gretfully, to Commencement Night, when we shallbe given the honorary certificate awarded every High School Graduate.

May 10, 1959 Dear Mr. Hanson, By now the Old Class of «44 have all found their respective places in the world. Last week, when I visited the new session of the Senate, the tax bill sponsored by Senator Russell Ba- winkel of Rhode Island was being debated. When I met Senator Bawinkel after the debate, he told me that El- wood Stevens was then in the city. As a member of the F. B. I. he has returned for a new assignment. At dinner that evening I met Steve,” who told me that he married Mony ten years ago. She is now following her separate career as a hair dresser in Philadelphia. Junior Motter wrote that he is now a singing waiter in the Club Cafe in San Diego and is enjoying his work immensely. However, having decided that he should be doing something greater, he is taking a course at Southern California preparing himself for a position as an accountant. Raegene Garner is now playing first chair cornet in Phil Spitalmy's All Girl Orchestra. Next week she will be the featured soloist on the G. E. program. You told me you knew Verle Fogle was in Chicago, but did you know that he is now the manager of the Union Stock Yards? He is certainly making use of his experience. Three months ago, while in Madison, I visited the University There I found Virginia Wagner as the able Professor of English Literature. This is her second year in that position. Loretta Palmer is making use of her stenographic training in Hollywood. There she is the private sec- retary of Edgar Bergen (and Charlie McCarthy). Loretta wrote that she had met Betty Wilhelms on the set of Country Gardens at Paramount, Betty was covering some assignment for Life,for which she is a photographer. I £ RICO It was more difficult for me to find Evelyn Greiff, but I finally located her in Boston, where she is a dress designer� The new drape-sweep dress is her creation� I frequently meet Associate Justice Knodle. Last week I had the honor of having him write some legal documents for me� Two months ago I was leafing through a new medi- cal bulletin we had received here and became interested in an article on brain surgery� Imagine my surprise when I saw that none other than Richard Wolfe had writ- ten it. Dr� Wolfe is now a surgeon on the staff of Mayos Clinic, Lyle Hundertmark has made the Navy his career. He has now attained the rank of Admiral, and Is station- ed in the North Atlantic, I was glad that you could tell me about Kenneth Lovell, I never dreamed that he could be found in Yel- lowstone Park as a Forest Ranger, Phillip Ballard, after spending eight years in various colleges and universities, is now working on his Doctor’s degree. At present he is in Southwest Africa with a party of explorers, I am sending you a copy of my latest book,TO YOU, AMERICA. I hope you like it, for I think it is nybest. My duties here at the Library of Congress are so press- ing that I have little time in which to write. When I go back to Leaf River next month, I’ll visit the old school and report to you from there. Yours sincerely, 1 V1 URICO JUNIOR. HISTORY The Class of � 45 entered the portals of Leaf River High for the third year with the loss of only a few students since its initial entrance in 1941. In September the following officers were elected. President--------Calvin Borneman Vice-Pres.---------William Hartje Secretary-------Donald Weinstein Treasurer--------------------Feme Gassman Student Council-Donald Kuntzelman Iris Schreiber Class Advisor-----------------Mr. Kinsley The annual class picnic was held on September 15, at Krape’s Park. Early in the year the Class approached the subject of the Junior-Senior Banquet with the question: Should we, or should we not hold the Banquet at Leaf River? At this time no definite decision has been made, altho the date is set for April 17, Because of government restriction on metals, the class rings, selected in September, 1943,will not arrive until September, 1944. Early in the second semester the class be- gan to consider tne choice of a play. A three-act melodrama, entitled Shadows in the Dark, was chosen by the committee and approvedty the class. It was produced March 31. In February the class made some important de- cisions in the choice of their colors, flowers and motto. Their choices were: Class colors----E. Blue and Silver Flower--------------White Gardenia Motto-----—Through Difficulties to Achievement LERICO SOPHOMORE HISTORY The Sophomores once more entered high school the last of August, a few less in number but with the same spirit. Some of the pupils of last year v ere not present. These were Bob Gann, Waldo Hundertmark, Maynard Toms, Grace Nanniga and Jim Young, who enlisted in the Navy. A class meeting was called and we elected these officers for the year.

The same month, however, Tex Butt joined us. This year we have collected waste paper and sold it to aid the government. At this time we have collected over 10,000 pounds. These sales also have added materially to our treasury. The leading social events of the year were two parties: a picnic was held at the school on September 21, and the class enjoyed a hayride to : t - ’ ;bruurv 9.

Because of the great number of girls interested in music, the girls' chorus has been divided into two groups. The more experienced members of the boys' and girls' choruses have been combined to form a mixed chorus. The first public appearance of these groups was at our Christmas Musicale on December 19. However, at Open House the girls and the boys of the mixed chorus contributed separate numbers. Our director, Miss Priebe, favored us with a solo. A special sextet sang several numbers at the Senior Play, Other ensembles have given numbers on various occasions. A small pep band has played at most of the home basket-ball games. Stringed instruments were added to the band to form an orchestra, which played the overture for the Christmas program.

Our school library contains approximately 1350 volumes, including three sets of encyclq edias. About 300 books are fiction, while the remainder are mainly reference books. It is the custom of the school to enlarge its library an- nually by about 50 volumes through the purchase of State Reading Circle Books and various refer- ence books. All book are classified according to the Dewey Decimal System of cataloging, A good selection of popular and informative maga- zines is kept in connection with the library. The library is under the administration of 9 student librarians, with Betty Croft as Head Librarian. Mr. Kinsley, a member of the faculty is staff advisor. Names of the other staff mem- bers will be found opposite their pictures. ER CO CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders this year were chosen by the vote of the student body Of the five par- ticipants, Bernice Hartje, Virginia Light, Feme Gassman, Jacqueline Ross and Keith Wilson, Jackie, Bernice and Keith were chosen to repre- sent our school at the basketball games. Before each game the members of the student body meet in the gym for a short pep session These are intended to boost school loyalty and to familiarize the students with Ihe school yells to be given at the game Each session ends with the Loyalty Song. (fR CO SP STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is an organization com- posed of two members from each class, one elected and one appointed by the class advisor, and the President of the Senior Class.

Lyle Hundertmark entered the U. S. Navy early in November. Not having entered the second semester of his senior year, Lyle will not graduate with his class. In the spring, Donald Knodle was accepted by the Marine Corps. Pvt.Knodle and Seaman Hundertmark are now serving to defend our country. Good Luck, Boys. During the school year a series of twelve movies, all portrayals of historical incidents in America, was shown to the student body. In former years the school financed movies for the history class, but this year the remainder of the student body was included in an attempt both to create better assembly programs and to make high school students more familiar with the history of their country. A small fee was charged to cover the cost of these productions. Each year the Daughters of the American Rev- olution present an award to one girl from each state. She is chosen from a group made up of one Senior girl from each high school. All partici- pants for the award are chosen on the basis of certain qualities of citizenship. These arc: Leadership, Dependability, Service and Patriotism. Leaf River High's representative this year is Raegene Garner,chosen for this honor by the votes of the Senior Class and the Faculty, Through the efforts of a dance committee, Phillip Ballard, Virginia Wagner, Feme Gassmann, and Don Kuntzelman, several school dances were held for the exclusive entertainment of those students who wished to attend. A Valentine's Dance was the special feature of this entertain- ment series. A slight attendance fee was charged at several of the dances,the money being used for the purchase of additional phonograph records for the school collection. LERICO HUMOR An English teacher is puzzling over this ques- tion. asked by one of her pupils: Is waterworks aLl one word or do you spell it with a hydrant in the mid- dle? Teachers Can any boy tell me what a canary can do that I can't? . • Student: ''Please, teacher, can you take a bath in a saucer? An Arab was being taken in a car across a very bumpy section cf the desert� So bad was the gcing that at last the car overturned aid the Arab ms thrown ait. Instead of turning in wrath on his driver,he picked himself up and apologized profusely: I've not yet learned to ride one of these things. The dentist was showing excessive irapatienoev i th his patient. Stop waving your arms and making faces, sir I Why, I haven't even touched your tooth! I know you haven't, retorted the patient,'b i you're standing on my corn I The professor seemed greatly irritated at the action of a student. Listen here, young man, he exclaimed, are you the professor of this class? No, sir, I'm not, answered the young man boldly. Well, then, stop acting like a fool I She looks as though she was poured into her dress and forgot to say when. A woman looks on a secret in two ways: Either it is not worth keeping, or it is too good to be kept. te Jusr POS I N . WAifimv IAmouR Q aI$ Pi ) maTes S A oR 3o j ADVERTI i.
