VOLUME 10 X HIS edition of the Leaf River High School Annual is respectfully and admiringly dedicated in memory of two Leaf River graduates who gave their lives for their country.

We regretted the loss of four members; Grace Nanninga, Jim Young, Leland Klinger, and Fobert Gann. On September 8, we elected the following class officers: President..............................-Hubei t Knodle Vice President---------- ------------- Horace Thomas Secretary................................Irene Meier Treasurer—-------------------— - —Berniece Haitje Student Council--------------------------Jackie Ross ---------------------------Don Ackerman Advisor------------------------------ Mrs. Norton This was our working year, and we started in earnest to earn money for the Junior-Senior banquet. One of our projects was collecting waste paper for Uncle Sam. 1944- 1945 As the Junior class, August 3°� ’ 1944� we had an enroll- ment of 31. The following students did not return: Velda Furman, who moved to Belviderc tfaldo Hundertmark, Robert Lane, Lucille Loorhoff, and Maynurd Toms. Two new members wore Merlyn Eickman of Seward and Roland Suttman of German Valley. The fallowing officers were elected: President-------------------------------- Irene Meier Vice President----------------------------Audrey Potter Sec.-Trees� ----------------------------- Horace Thomas Student Council--------------------------------------Jack Lolling --------------------------Margery Kilker Advisor-------------------------------------Mrs. Norton During this year Donald Mergen left the class. For a class ring we chose one with an electro-chrome stone. We selected as our Motto: Rowing Not Drifting. Colors: Lavender and White Flower: White Carnation The class play, The Haunted High School was presented March 23� 1945 and was a great success. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held in the High School Gym. The theme was a Dutch Garden. A delicious dinner was served by the Grange. 1945-1946 On September 17, 1945� thirty dignified Seniors began their last and most important schoo-1 year.

The Senior play, Wedding Spells was given November 16. Due to the excess crowd and the many requests of those who were turned away at the door, the play was repeated November 21. This was the first time in the history of Leaf River High School that such a request was made. Mrs. Norton was the able director of the play. We voted for royal blue caps and gov ns for graduation. Everyone will receive his honorary certificate award with some regret, but also with many pleusant memories of his four years at L.R.C.H.S.

Miss Nellie Fulton, has just finished her 7 ake-Up-And-Live Program of morning exercises. As she finished her morning theme song, Take Those Lumps From Your Bumps, or, One More Roll 7 ill Kill Me, Royal Grove, well known tobacco auctioneer, prepared for his 3 second commercial. But no, just then Wallace Auer, America's best loved radio announcer, broke in with o news flush from Niagra Falls, Just 3 seconds ago. Miss Charlotte Paul, famous dancer of the Chubbettes, went over Niagra Falls in a specie ly constructed barrel. Miss Paul is doino fine now, thanks to the unceasing care of Nurse Elsie Eael, better known as Florence Nightingale, the 2nd. Again Royal cleared his throat, but Mr Auei hastily shoved him aside and announced the True Confessions program, of which Vernal Foltz vras emcee. The program consis- ted of three items: first, Merlyn Eickman of Seward, 111. confessed to putting inferior cement in the Missouri Valley Ear- ;mc -. anted to know if they could hang him for it. The second person whose initials were B. H., had been running an orphanage, and was worried because 3he had been caught beating the little ruffians The third and last participant, James Melvin, was worried because he wa3 slowly losing his muscles. Muscles meant his living because he had been posing for Charles Atlas Ads. As the program left the air to strains of Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen, Royal once more tried to put in his commercial but was once more shoved aside to make room for a ten-minute lecture on soil conservation. Don Ackerman, noted Professor at the U� of I. was the speaker for the day. This was follov cd with a singing commercial by the throe K‘s: Kilker, Kar,penman, and Kilker, for Soupy Soup, the soup that satifies. The next program was Famous Jury Trials, The case for tonight was taken from the trial The State of Illinois vs. Hubert Knodle. Hubert Knodle had been violating state law by keeping gas tax for himself. In his defense, his lawyer, Horace Thomas, admitted the defendant's guilt but in an eloquent address to the jury, talked them into giving Hubert a tv o-ycar term, Horace achieved this The year, 1966 A.D. by showing that Hubert had been forced to do it by his domineering wife, Jackie Ross She had wanted all the pennies for her coin collection The program ended with a few bars of Time On l'y Hands. Royal tried again to give his comercial but was drowned out by Boogie Tfoogie Bav;inkle end his Orchestra Bob hud certainly come a long way since Leaf River High He had already made four movies with his orchestra. This 15 minutes of hot swing precoedcd the 'Women's Hour. The guests for the day were Marilyn Rebcr, make-up artist at M.G.M., Virginia Light, successor to Adrian, one of the leading dress designers of the dqy, and Dorothy Book, DuBcrry Success Course Sales- woman Hardly had the pro gran gone off the air than the rasping cries of Richard's Call for Phillip Morris echoed through the sound-stage Tonight, Songstress Irene Meier had a big surprise for her devoted audionco. For she was going to disclose Richard's last name The hushed audience waited breathlessly, and as the magical name, Richard HaseltonJ i fell from Irene's lips, there was loud applause and a few hysterical screams One young lady, Miss Vi ian Schrciber, even fainted, but this was explained when she confessed th t she hud just attend'd three consecutive broadcasts of Frank Sinatra Sings, and in doing so, had smoked 3 cartons of Old Golds. Next Irene reviewed the latest movies The latest thriller chiller was Eugene Hoffman’s presentation of The Human Skeleton ali:3, starring Leona Ackerman and Millard Krctsinger, the greatest lo er f the screen. Bub Suttmnn had just finished another of his popular .Voody Woodpecker cartoons. For the housewife's enjoyment, a short short short was produced showing Betty Haselton in 100 'Hays to Prepare Rice It was no-w 11:30 P.2!., and the 15-minute prograi.1, Sports Heroes of the Air wa3 on. Jack Lolling, famous master of Chinese Checkers, testified that he, Jack Lolling, attributed his success to hi3 High School basketball ploying, and daily bowl 01 whecties. This program was interrupted to bring the news that the Missouri Dam had just collapsed, and lira Merlyn -ic,.■-— the former Audrey Foticr, hod been swept away in the debris, with her 9 children. The cannontator was about to continue bis news, when he was rudely thrown aside by the hysterical Royal Grove, who duly proceeded v ith his tobacco auctioneer- ing. But suddenly, with a shriek of rage, he cried— Duuuh, I forgot { , and pulling an atom bomb out of his tam-o-shontei, he blew the entire station into oblivion. n JT sOf SENIOR STATISTICS Hubert Knodle Shake Chorus 1234 Athletics 1234 Clas3 Officer 2 Operetta 1234 Jr. Flay Sr. Flay Ath.

Trees. —-------—Margery Kilker Cheerleaders----------Jackie Ross ----------Berniece Hartje The Arths won the Leaflet seles with a grand total of 193 sales. This is the biggest total in the Leaf River High School's history. The Arths also won the magazine sales. This was a contest between our two societies, which was suggested by the Student Council as a means of raising funds for purchasing a juke box. SHAKES The Shakes organized on October 9� 1945� and under the supervision of Mr. Hanson elected the following officers: President-—----------------Hubert Knodle V. President--------------------Donald King Sec. Treas.---------------Roland Suttman Cheerleaders--------------Virginia Light -------------Doris Jean Myers The Shakes carried on the Leaflet campaign with their usual diligence, but lost by a small margin. Because of this defeat they were obliged to give a party for their opponents. Defeat was also met in the magazine campaign, but we feel that we presented tough competition in both enterprises.
