. ’ 6 d LUD Dillard fry IN MEuCRY OF A FKIIND Who being a link between the world of school and the world of adulthood, taught ua of many things more important than cold, unresponsive facts in books. Who showed us that to live in harmony with our fellow-men is an art not to be valued lightly. Who practiced but never preached the life of a true friend—encouraging us when disheartened, being a living example of helpfulness, kindness, and tolerance. His memory lives with us because it is a part of us We adopted, by contagion, as it were, some of that quiet sense of humor, that spirit of helpfulness, that attitude of tolerance. Ttuly it can be said that each of us is better for having known him. A Jc acu LELAND T. HANSON Principal Manchester College Mathematics University of Wisconsin Social Science DOYLE P.

All things were done by then and without them was not anything done that hath been dono� Not; there was a king over this class that had ruled five ye-urs and the king’s name Y;as Leland from the tribe of Hanson. And the king's courtier came with him, whose name was Evan from the tribe of Kinsley who also cane out of the land of Franklin Grove as did King Hanson himself� Now the courtier was fond of athletics and didt rejoice greatly when his team won. Now the king chose as his leaders one Rachel of the tribe of Hillier out of the land of Wisconsin to watch over this class, and Ruth from the tribe of Watson to teach then to bake and sew, and Kenneth from the tribe of Harris to show then how to tend their sheep and till the land, and Einar of the tribe of Cannclin who played the cym- bals and sang praises. Now King Hanson was a godly man and led the class along the paths of righteousness all through the four years even unto the promised land. But four of the class faltered by the waysido and came not into the second year of the journey� And there cane out of the land of Iowa, a maid Phyllis of the tribe of Schafer who did take up the reign of the hone maker. And behold there was a war in the land of the Japs and the Jerries and Phyllis did join herself to the WAC's to allow one nan to pick up 3words against then. And Gladys of the tribe of Geyer-Luepkes of Byron did take up the rule of Phyllis. And there was also Floy of the tribe of Avey- Norton who diu write with the typewriter and did see to all the business of the school; and Carl of the tribe of Nelson who did show men how to reap anc to sow and build for then- selves fine trailers and hog pens, and Mildred of the tribe of Pope joy who did sing sweetly to the end of the. year. In this year al3c came a maid Feme of the tribe of Gassmann out of the land of Lena and did join herself to the class. And she was fair and did cause the hearts of all the boy3 to leap and to throb In the third year of the class out of the land of Plano came Marjorie whose surname was Priebe who did wield the baton and play upon the piano and sing. Came also out of the land of Seward� Mary of the tribe of Murphy to join the class. Also came William� of the tribe of Hnrtjo� who escaped to labor in the land cf Rockford. After the third year of the class the king's courtier journeyed into the land of Mt. Morris and took up his abode there. And there was great mourning in the land for the courtier had found great favor with the class And there arose in his place Doyle of the tribe of Wendell out of the land of Shannon who waxed exceeding strong and did lend the class through the wilderness of English, basketball and track. In this year also came Orletta from the tribe of Aschcr who did add much to the class with her piano playing. And this 3ame year there arose Donald of the tribe of KUntzelman who had few teeth and who became king of the lesser kingdom of the Class of 1945 She who ruled in his absence was Jeanette whose surname was Mayer. Iris whose surname was Schreiber became his scribe. And those who did represent the class in court were Viola from the tribe of H rtje and Calvin v hose surname was Borneman. Through the long journey in the wilderness the class traveled with King Hanson a3 their guide. And he was perfect and upright in heart and eschewed evil. And there was war in the land and the men knew not from ne class to the next when they would take up their swords and fight against the enemy. And after many days it came to pass that the class came out of the wilderness and entered into the promised land. And the rest of the acts of the Class of 1945?

The western theme first came to mind� The horses, dudes, and ell their kind. But the dust so thick was hard to bear For a cloud arose—Here's Silver I swear. No no not that I Anything else . ill do And Iris on a horse—I knew she'd sue. The inspiration is gone, I fear. I seem surrounded by a cloud; My head is bloody, yes, and bowed. What is this mist I feel on me? It is a cloud. What do I see? Saint Rickie's here accompanied by The rest of the spirits, oh how they sigh; For still he finds it hard to rise And Saint Alurum clock he now defies. A Lady Saint by him does stand The figure is plain can it be? My land It's Feme. I vow. Her love life was short Now in the clouds she does hold court. They watch o'er all the lads and lasses In heaven and H—- and earthly masses. Their watchful care and guiding power Did o'er the elections fairly tower. It was just last year in '64 That Zellers ran—not track--much more Advanced this race. It was Hyde Park Against L.R. and Don made his mark.

Shelby, we said, We're glad you ccmo Though it's hard wc know to part with fame, And Hollywood, and Lola fair� Lola was his agent and took every care� Jeanette did cry (she's Motro-Goldwyn'-Mayer) She wouldn't work, even though they'd pay her. Of cares on earth, we know the girls Whose pleading mail comes down in swirls. The Misses Schelling advise us -weekly The love-lorn column they answer meekly. The lonely hearts they've brought together Would fill a book weighing more than a feather. Nov; Duane, v e won't see for many a year Davis 77 keeps him busy, and dear I His spouse and his off-spring fill the house They turn on the radio anc he says, Oh, that louse. But his small darlings think they must Hear Uncle Art's stories or they'll bust. V e have an honored guest and we're proud To own Donna our 7AC recruiter loud. And our orator loud on earth we see. For Don, an auctioneer of tobacco is he. To every basket he soys with a sneer, If I never see you it'll be, v ith a leer, A hundred years too soon. This finishes quite Our parade of earth has been quite a sight. But there's still a couple v e want to see. They're the fear of country, they haven't a plea. They're Ding and Viola that avrful pair Out of jail they broke but they'll soon get the chair. By now the midnight's been and gone The red, red rose is now the darn. I can think no more, this vision has quite Disturbed by thoughts for many a night. In fun I'll say, Hail and Farewell. And of these things ne'er again I'll tell. We, the seniors of 1945� hereby do ordain and establish this Declaration of Independence, that whosoever shall break the bonds of independence and enter into wedlock shall be dealt with accordingly by due process of the law and upon the said person shall be inflicted the penalty of banqueting the rest of the Senior class and teachers of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Five. Class Will We, the seniors of 1945 of Leaf Fiver Community High School, County of Ogle, and State of Illinois, oeing of full age and of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby re- voking all wills heretofore made: We bequeath to the faculty peace of mind and happy dreams. No more shall the class of «45 perplex their minds and pro- voke their wrath. Our school-day pranks and ungodly ways no more trouble those, who in the kindliest manner and spirit, have aided and guided us along the stony path that leads to knowledge and virtue. We give and bequeath to our successors, the Junior class, a standard cf scholarship par excellence, which we trust they will endeavor to maintain. To the Sophomore class we leave all that yet remains to he learned. We leave to the Freshman class no lazy luxury or de- light, but instead, the same arduous curriculm that wo with unceasing labor have mastered to a certain degree.

The Junior-Senior Banquet was held early in M y. It was not quite as lavish as in previous years due to war conditions. However, it was a success.

The first was held at the high school. G mes were played and refreshments were served. The second was a sleigh ride which was held on the evening of Jwnuary 26. This was a very cold night, but a certain group were sure kept warm. The party ended with everyone having a hot lunch at the high school. FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY On August 28th the freshmen entered the doors of IRC IB thirty in number.

Because of the large number of girls, two groups were organized—the Freshman-Sophomore and the Junior-Senior groups. Also from these two groups a special girls' chorus was selected. Our mixed chorus was composed of the special girls' chorus and boys selected £rom the boys' chorus. Miss Priebe also organized an orchestra. This, the special girls' chorus, ancl mixed chorus gave a forty-five minute program at Open House. The high school quartet, composed of Jacqueline Ro3s, Bemiece Hartje, Donald Kuntzelman, and Horace Thomas, sang at the dedication of the Leaf River Honor Roll. A small pep band was also organized.

Sail OR CUSS PLAY The Senior Class presented their annual class play on November 10, 1944 It was a comedy in three acts entitled •THAT CP.AZY SITE FAMILY.’ The setting of the story was in the Smith home in a small Eustern town. It is a nice, folksy, livable sort of town and the Smith family fitted in very nicely. They were an average sort of family which included four children, Tony, Betty, Buddie, and Sally Smith. These three really kept Pa , and ‘Ha on their toes, and play really proved to be a ..onderful success.

The entire action of the play took place at eagle high school. A celebrated Youth,s Day when students exchanged places with the teachers lead to the v ild climax of finding the guilty person. Guilty usually is linked with murder • and there was plenty of it. The play was very successful in every way ittenum 4 'r It seems as though a jinx settled on the Demon's Soft Ball team of '44 During the season the boys won 1 out of 1 conference games and lost 2 others to Shannon. The Demons' fielding -was okay, and so was its pitching, but the fellows just couldn't hit that apple when it was most needed.
