Guest 1 Foreword Beyond the ordinary functions of a school yearbook, this edition of the Win-nel has a special purpose. Here in the final volume we have tried to recapture glimpses of our school's glorious past and to recall for you many pleasant memories of days gone by. In this difficult task we hope that we have assembled incidents of lasting interest to you, our readers. May the time-filled pages of this book recall familiar scenes and faces in the years of Winslow High School. . 5 , 1 r N . , -QQ 5' We Dedicaie af MQW, This Book 7 N fc.

More than a century ago, in 1849, in the loft of Edward Hunt's cooper shop Qnow the Gust Rockow residencej , Mr. Pym conducted Wins1ow's first school. In the following year a one-room school building was erected on the school lot fnow the Nettie Bartelt propertyy. When in 1872 this building became too crowded, school was held for one year in the basement of the Presbyterian church, while the old school building was being torn down. In 1873 the school board consisting of John Barr, Alex Stewart, T ,t if A fn f 9' Wi 7 , 4 I. 3 x x X I M 1 - 1 and Isaac Gage opened school in a new two-story frame structure 2 E7 erected on the previous site. There were no windows on the south X K side and but few elsewhere, and heat was furnished by a wood- Q burning stove. There were two teachers employed in this school, s one on each floor. The higher rank of students were sent upstairs, and the others were taught downstairs. It is interesting to note that some of the pupils were men with beards. Teachers in this school, which ran from 1873-1902, included Thomas Hunter, Adam Crape, 1 Q., C. W. Franks, Renaldo Wilburs, E. R. Shepherd, Mr. Thomas, 5 1 I Alice Leonard, Kate Moran, Rachel Richardson, Lydia Wohlford, tsp ' I If o Howard Auman, Mr. Klontz, Mr. Elsesser, Mr. Cornell, Mr. 'N V it I Hotchkiss, Mrs. Hotchkiss, Frank Soule, and Orpha Palmer.

Although this was technically only a grade school, much that we would call high school work today was taught to advanced pupils who returned after eighth grade graduation for further instruction. The courses taught included arithmetic, algebra, civil government, and rhetoric. There was a large recitation bench in front of each of the two teachers' desks where each class passed to take its turn in recitation. All possible wall space was used for black- boards. Often there were as high as eighty pupils on each floor and to accommodate these large numbers, bookstands, and even the teacher's desk, were drafted into service as study tables. The record has come down to us that opening exercises in this school each morning consisted of group singing with an old organ for accompaniment. On dark or stormy days the pupils would not have light enough to read their books, but then poems would be recited from memory or they would take exercises. This was the Winslow school until 1902 when the first brick building on the present school lot was put into use. The old school was used for a resi- dence for some time and was finally torn down. m X1 Qt r, lj . 5 n 1 If 1 ' 'r .ry V, K Sk 1- , . S 2 f .4-rf' ,QQ The Old Brick chool The next school building in Winslow was erected in 1902 on the present school lot. This was a two-story four-room brick structure set well back from the sidewalk. Both grade school and high school classes were begun in this building with Mr. John W. Trafzer as the first land onlyy teacher in the high school and prin- cipal over the entire building. The county superintendent of schools, Winslow school board, and Mr. Trafzer established this curricu- lum for a four-year high school program: 4 years English, 3 years history, 2 years algebra, 2 years geometry, 1 year advanced mathe- matics, 2 years Latin, 3 years science, and 1 year general bookkeeping. During the years from 1902-1921 the principals andteachers of Winslow High School included John W. Trafzer, Chas. G. Wilson, S.C. Brock, F.C. Bennett, Franklin P. Fisher, Robert Morehead, L. B. Reed, Thomas Brew, J.H. Diddle, Henry Merrill, John Par- sons, Mrs. John Parsons, Agnes Ferguson, Henry C. Barton, Mrs. Gladys Barton, and Mildred Adams. Through these years the high school had its ups and downs with state accreditation, it is re- corded, for example, that Mr. Morehead taught a high school class in 1909-1910 without pay and that the students received no credit that year. The school was crowded with students, and a second beginning in September of 1918. In the list of graduates printed elsewhere in this book you will note how the school varied in these years between a two three and four year high school. 6 X of-f V J X4-ihnaa Xi., O sa I , 1 I od ral' 1 J ,.,..

In front of the original brick building was built an addition to provide for an assembly hall on the second floor, two classrooms on the first floor, and a home economics room and inside toilets with running water in the basement. The building now came directly up to the sidewalk and over the familiar double front doors were installed two stone markers bearing the legends Public School 1902 and High School 1921. Mr. Henry C. Barton was principal at the time of the organization of the Community High School district. He served our school in a creditable manner from 1920-1924. In 1922 the first Winslow Community Fair was held at the school, with the proceeds being used to buy books to expand the school library in accordance with state recommendations. In 1923 a few taxpayers took legal action to question the formation of the school district but the Illi- nois Supreme Court upheld the district's legality, and from the fall of 1923 there has been continuously an accredited four-year high school in operation. Much credit is due Mr. Barton and the school board of his time for their labors in behalf of education in Winslow. This newly organized district with its expanded building was able to serve more stu- dents, especially at the high school level. However,in those days transportation was a formid- able problem. Most students walked to school, often considerable distances in bad weatherg many rode horses or came in buggies, wagons, or sleighs. For a long time Frank Staver's Barn served as shelter for the animals. Some students came to Winslow on the train, whose schedule between McConnell and Winslow was favorable to students for many years. In the year 1923-1924 A.E. Redmon served as superintendent. It was the graduating class of 1924 that voted to publish the first yearbook for Winslow High School, and for the title they coined the word Win-nel, made from the names of Winslow and McConnell. Winston Stewart was the editor of this first Win-nel, which was printed in the local Winslow Register office. This volume was the first factual information about the school available in print and picture form. In the fall of 1925 Thomas R. Pfisterer became superintendent. 0 Sag X N' Goins --f fnti' ' 9 The Twenfies In the twenties, interest in the school centered in the aca- demic studies. The student body was serious and appreciative of the privilege of attending high school. In an interview a 1928 graduate says, The emphasis was on studying and getting your lessons when I went to school. This alumnus also mentions the many chores including milk hauling with horses and spring wagon before school in the mornings. The subjects studied were arduous, including among others, advanced mathematics, physics, advanced civics, commercial geography, Latin, and modern and ancient history. The curriculum was intended to prepare students for further education. Six of the ten members of the 1924 class and eight of the 16 members of the 1925 class were attending college in 1926. They wrote letters back to school for publication in the Win-nel, they visited the school and spoke before the assembly. School recreation consisted of group singing twice a week at the opening exercises and competitive spelling between class groups from 1:00 to 1:15 each afternoon. Dramatics also played a very important role inthe school. Orations and declamations were presented in the county literary contests, with the 1927 and 1928 contestants remembered as a group of champions. One 1927 graduate had been in six plays. These plays were given at different places. For example, the 1924 senior play Am I Intruding? was given at the Winslow Opera House on May 26, at Cedarville on May 27, and in McConnell on June 4. These early Win-nels were partially financed by advertise- ments. Interesting ones include Blue Label Cheese, Winslow's Fa- mous product, and the Fuller Hotel's news window, featuring As- sociated Press news, changed three times a week. Class parties were big events-usually taking the form of a hike from the school to Cedar Cave and attended by all students and teachers. X.

In the valedictory address at the 1927 commencement, for example, Arol C. McCaslin said: For our successful graduation, we owe much to you, dear teachers. We could have ac- complished very little without your guidance and instruction. But for your constant encourage- ment and assistance, when lessons seemed long and impossible, many must surely have fal- len. With much regret we part from this institution and its instructors. Many times, no doubt, we will wish for your advice to help us through some difficult problem. Our memories of you will always be inspiring, and will help to fill the vacancy left in parting. The board of education, as well as the teachers, was praised by the students. The 1928 Win-nel says, As a student body, we take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the loyalty and ever-increasing interest this board has shown in our behalf. We especially thank them for the improvements made in the building, for the excellent manner in which the building has been keptinrepair, and for the liberal appropriation made for needed equipment. fThe appropriation spoken of, the district budget for 1927-28, totalled S11,000! This covered the salaries of five high school teachers, the cost of supplies, and the high school board's share of the custodian's salary and maintenance of the building., The 1927 and 1928 literary contest team-a group of champions. Rebecca Coleman, Florence Dalrymple, John Bradford, Jr., Bessie Brandt, Josephine Kilian. 5 v E .l The Thirties The early thirties are perhaps best remembered for the depression and the drought. The Win-nels of these years mention such things as threadbare overalls being worn, and the writers of the 1933 Win-nel praise a second-place trophy of a new basketball as being of more use to us fthan a loving cupl during the depression. The valedictorians' and saluta- torians' addresses speak of the uncertain future. But Wins1ow's literary contestants came up with three winning teams to take permanent possession of the county trophy in the thirties and in 1933 the Latin Club reached a high point of 34 members. The New Gym Through all these years there had been no school gymnasium. Sports had flo1u'ished most in the fall and spring when the play grolmd was used. The Winslow Lyric Opera House, above the present Parriott Grocery Store, was used for basketball and dramatic productions. There had been talk of building a community building somewhere in Winslow and finally a campaign took shape to build a gymnasium and auditorium adjoining the school. The 1935 Win-nel describes for us the heated campaign which preceded the balloting on this gymnasium proposal. There was sharp division as to whether the building plans pointed to an opportunity or to a disastrous undertaking. Excitement in the community ran high, every possible voter was brought in to the polls, and the gym won by more than 2 to 1. We read of the flurry the day of the opening of the bids and the interest shown in the actual building operations. The brick and glazed tile structure was 80x80 feet, with playing floor 70 x42g it cost 517,000 and had a seating capacity of about 600. The dedication took place October 12, 1934, with Fran- cis G. Blair as the speaker. For many years this gym was to serve not only as a school gym- nasium but also as a community auditorium for the Winslow fair, cemetery benefit dances, pie socials, and the like. The gymnasium made many changes in the school. Before the gym came, Win-nel pictures were taken outdoorsg from the 1935 Win-nel on, most pictures were taken in the gym. Of course physical education was expanded with the coming of the gym' and its new dressing rooms. Class plays, commencements, and other programs now could be held at the school. In later years, as you will read in the special section on the history of the Proms, it was to be their locale. No one could count how many spectators have cheered the many basketball games within its walls. This investment of the community would seem to have been a sound one. Administrative Change In 1935 Winslow's superintendent was e- lected Stephenson County superintendent of schools. Mr. Pfisterer is remembered as apopu- lar and capable teacher, who contributed much to Winslow and its schools. Mr. Clarno, who had been a member of the faculty since 1928, be- came the new superintendent. In 1935-36 the first student council was or- ganized in line with the trend toward more stu- dent participation in school operation. Winslow's first student cormcil planned a clean-up campaign and attempted to improve traffic in the halls, to stop petty gossip, and to entertain students at noon. From this year on, a student council was a feature of the school. Expanding Curriculum Two notable innovations came to our school in the fall of 1938. One was vocational agriculture Qsee pages 32-341, the other was the commercial department. Prior to 1938 bookkeeping had been the only commercial subject, but in that year twenty new typewriters made their appearance as typing, shorthand, and general business were added to the curricu- lum. The introduction of these vocational subjects points up the recognition of the school board of those years that many potential farmers and business employees were attending school in addition to the college preparatory group. With the coming of the typewriters came an end for several years to printed Win-nelsg the 1939 and following Win-nels until 1952 were mimeographed in the school. Many changes in the school characterize the early forties. Emphasis on the academic decreasesg the last literary contest was held in 1941 and the last valedictorian's and salu- tatorian's addresses are printed in 1942. The first school busses were used in the year 1941- 42, and then the outbreak of war made its effect felt. The school held defense stamp salesg it was the site of draft and rationing registrations, the Win-nels were organized around tri- butes to the servicemen. In 1945 Mr. Clarno left our school to teach in the Freeport system. He is well remem- bered for his long period of devoted service as coach, science teacher, and adminstrator. Mr. Clikeman then became the new superintendent. Visual aids came into educational prominence at this time. Student movie projection- ists make their first appearance in the Win-nel of 1947. In addition the school soon secured a slide film projector for instructional use. It was now possible to use these devices to supple- ment the textbook and teacher. Another mechanical devise in increasing use after the war was the automobile. Pic- tLu'es of the school at this time show a greater number of them every year, and it was a com- mon pleasantry that more and more the newer shinier models belonged to students, not teach- ers. marssxmwxsrvra .1sssmsnnamswsx:.a uA...,f Reorganization Begins The late forties saw the school reorganization which was to mean the end of Winslow High School. A state law required the reorganization of the county into larger districts, and Winslow was unable to form her own district for three reasons: lj the district had the valua- tion, but not the population, to form a unit district, 2l the state line prevented inclusion in a district of the Wisconsin territory long served by Winslow High School, 31 a large eastern portion of the district chose to annex to Orange- ville rather than to join a proposed Lena-Win- slow imit. A new Lena-Winslow Community Unit was formed in June 1949. Twenty-one rural schools and the Lena and the Winslow schools were incorporated in it. The years that followed saw I: whsle, - Ugg I a protracted rearguard action in the futile ef- li LENA- ORANGEVII-I-E fort to save the school.

Stephenson County School Districts--1958 Suffice it to say that similar propositions for a unit high school, always on a Lena site, were defeated in September of 1953, January of 1954, and March of 1954. Some of these defeats were by narrow margins in the total vote, but in the Winslow precinct of the district they ran in a proportion of between four and five to one. The McConnell precinct, which contained the other portion of the old Winslow Community High School District, was, however, sharply divided in its loyalties between Winslow and Lena. I Again, as in the early days of our high school, state recognition was an object of great concern. Under this pressure many changes were made in an effort to satisfy criticisms of the Winslow school. New science laboratory equipment was installed, facilities for home economics and agriculture shop work were rented,a qualified music teacher was employed, and a steel and concrete staircase replaced the old wooden one. Then in February 1956 a plan for buildings in Lena, Winslow, Eleroy, and Waddams Grove, and improvements in McCon- nell was submitted to unit referendum. This plan,'which would have kept both a Lena and Win- slow high school in the imit, carried decisively in the Winslow precinct but was defeated in the unit. Finally in June 1956 another referendum for a single high school located in Lena passed in the unit, although the Winslow precinct still opposed it two to one. I New Grade chool When in early 1956 it became clear that Winslow could not outvote the rest of the unit and keep its high school, its representatives on the school board succeeded in having included in the June 1956 plan a new grade school for Winslow. Built in 1957 east of the gymnasium, having its west wall directly against the gym's east wall, this modern building overlooks the terraced, three-level playground. Inside we find seven classrooms, each 25 by 30 feet, with the most modern facilities. Each room has windows along the entire side and opens into a spacious hallway. Individual student lockers are located in the halls upstairs and in the rooms downstairs. A kitchen on the lower story will facilitate the school lunch program. This new building was the last site of Winslow High School. A description of the move from the old building to the new during 1957-58 will be folmd on page 103 of this book. The old building was razed in the summe f ' r o 1958, leaving the basement story, which houses the office, two rest rooms, and a new oil-fired hot water heating plant Winslow High School's last administrator, Mr. Clikeman, is leaving us to teach in the Rockford school system. Mr. Clikeman will be well remembered by his many students for his friendly manner and for his great interest in music and natural science Next fall the hi h g school students of the Winslow area will attend school in a new buildi h ng on t e northeast corner of Lena. So ends the history of Winslow High School. Building The New Grade School wwrfwwwv -, ,. ,.,Mmw.mm Winslow G.A.A. , 1928, with Miss Stewart Winslow G.A.A. , 1946, with Miss Haberkamp Winslow G. A. A. , 1953, with Mrs. Arnold Q! G A A History The Girls' Athletic Association was organized at Winslow in 1924 by Miss Stewart. The or- ganization stands for health, loyalty, honor, pep, and above all-good sportsmanship. All members of the GAA are expected to live up to this standard. Before any girl became an active member of this association she had to earn twenty-five points and she also earned twenty-five more for each semes- ter spent in the organization. These rules have changed gradually over the years until the early 1950's when 225 points a year were earned by members who participated in various activities both in and out of school. The point system at the present time includes the earning of 75 points or more in GAA spon- sored activities. Any high school girl is eligible to become a member. In 1924 the organization consisted of a president, secretary, treasurer, and the cheerleader. Basketball was a favorite sport for the GAA in 1926. The song at this time was: When once you get in GAA, Your troubles have just begun. ,ji You must do something every day, 2 ' Or lose out on the fun. ' And when on a sweater your mind is set, There's naught can block your way, t You'll hike long miles some points to get, 'X And spoil the most of the day. L When at the end of four long years, The sweater you have won, In spite of all your work and fears, You've had a world of fun. The basketball interest was lost in 1927, and hiking, skating, and other forms of gymnastics were substituted. In these the girls earned points to obtain their awards. In 1928, those having 100 points received a numeralg 200 points a pin, and 400 points a swea- ter. These were paid for by the association. In 1934 a new constitution was adopted and points were earned by participating in physical education, skating, hiking, and kittenball. In 1943 the GAA took part in the annual basketball shooting contest and placed second in their district. Some of the activities of the GAA during the past years are as follows: the annual Christmas party which has been held each year, the annual basket-shooting contest, a Mother-Daughter Ban- quet yearly until 1951, and an annual hike. Various ways for earning money have been dances, a minstrel show, bake sales. roller skating parties, and the selling of stationery. An annual trip for GAA girls was begun in 1950. Every year, but one, the group has spent in Chicago. While there, the girls have attended stage plays and movies, have gone on tours to famous places, and have taken rides on the lake and subway. The one year not spent in Chicago was spent sight-seeing at the Dells in Wisconsin. There are three GAA camps, each accomodating 100-125 girls. The three locations are Cen- tral at East Bay Camp Bloomington, Southern at Little Grassy Lake, Carbondale, and the Northern Camp which Winslow attends at Conference Point Camp,Wi1liams Bay, Wisconsin. The state wide activities are bowling, golf, archery, and basket-shooting. At the present time there are 421 schools in Illinois who are members of GAA. The GAA Loyalty Song is: Tune- All the World is Waiting for the Sunrise Our name means growth In spirit, mind, and body We work and strive To reach our highest aim. The stars, the height Toward which we're ever climbing on GAA. Be worthy of your name. The Pledge of the Association is UI promise to uphold the ideals of the Girls, Athletic As- sociation by promoting interest in athletics and the out-of-doorsg by living so that I may be healthy and strong, by making good sportsmanship a constant factor in my conduct.

Mani '41 Delvin Schneider '36 We Honor ur Dead Clarence Bergeman '42 Alumni Mail Winslow High School in my time was extremely small and in a peculiar way that is what I value most about it. Today schools, like everything else, are getting to be big and sleek and regimented. In the small schools, we students had an opportunity to try everything-- whether we had talent in a particular field or not. Meagre acting ability did not keep me out of our class plays, nor lack of musical talent from the orchestra. My mother, I remember, was inordinately proud that I hit no false notes during my first public appearance. I couldn't. There was no reed in the clarinet, but the music teacher needed my presence to fill amother chair. Of course, the intimacy of the small school sometimes worked as a hindrance too. I allowed a teacher, who was never noted for his tact, to dis- courage me from taking shorthand on the grounds that I was too poorly coordi- nated to master it. But since life is made up of people telling you what you won't be able to do, perhaps it is as well that I learned my lesson early. Acouple of years a.go,Iaccompanied Lucille Ball to her class reunion. For her it was an emotional trip, punctuated by squeals and tears. Afterward she apologized and said she hoped that I would understand her reactions. I suppose it upset me so because this is where I learned about life, she said. Afterward when I went away, I found myself pigeon-holing people, saying, 'Oh, hets like Frank. She's like Fay. I understood completely, since it expressed how I feel about Winslow. Sincerely, George Eells Being a lifetime resident of Winslow, I attended both grade school and high school there during the period from 1936 to 1948. Many names of former grade school and high school teachers often come to mind. I firmly believe a well-rounded primary and secondary education was then and is now offered for those who might wish to take advantage of it. An important part of any school system is its sports program. During the years 1944-48, I am sure there was as much student and community enthu- siasm over sports as there is today. Basketball then, as now, was considered the major sport. The year of basketball which I enjoyed most was 1947. That year we could beat our old rivals, Orangeville, anytime we wished. The other members of this team were Jim Galway, Buss Youtzy, Earl Holloway, and Dick Miller. We were coached by Mr. Jack McKenna, whom I am sure-we shall never forget. It was rumored that it was worth the price of admission to watch coach McKenna and Coach Keuler of Orangeville during a close game! The climax of that season was our defeat by West Rockford in a close contest in the Freeport Regional Tournament. A school forms the backbone of any community.I feel that it is imfortunate that Winslow is to lose its high school. However, since it is inevitable, I hope that the people of Winslow will support the new school plan and feel a part of it. I am sure the students fromWinslowwill continue to represent her as well in the new school as they have represented their own school in the past. Sincerely, James D.

Vocal Music From its earliest days Winslow has had a singing school. In the frame building an old reed organ accompanied group singing and musical games. Students marched to their seats in time to the organ's music and when the old brick school opened in 1902, the organ was moved there. Singing groups and soloists were one of the earliest forms of extracurricular activities. Stu- dents sang at programs in the Lyric Opera House, at commencements, Memorial Day exercises, and other gatherings. The literary contest champions of 1927-28, pictured on page 17, included two vocal soloists. The glee club pictured in the 1933 Win-nel had slmg at the Republican Convention held at the Lyric Opera House. In 1941 the operetta In Grand Old Switzerland was presented. Music festivals, held annually at various county schools, offered an opportunity for singing in large groups. In later years soloists and ensembles represented Winslow at district and state contests where, according to the Illinois system of classification of schools by enrollment, they competed creditably against students from other small schools. Former students will remember these vocal teachers: Miss Hanlon, Mrs. Hirst, Miss Swa- ney, Miss Harmsen, Mr. Shippy, Miss Poppen, Miss Haberkamp, Mr. Clikeman, and Miss Barnes. Instrumental Music In September 1925 Miss Caryl Stewart organized Winslow High School's first orchestra. From 1927 to 1932 Mr. M.F. Nuss of Lena travelled to Winslow one day a week to direct this or- chestra. Under his direction this group played at many school and public functions. The orchestra grew smaller in the late thirties, and finally in 1940 stringed instruments were eliminated and the first band appeared with Miss Williams as director. Later directors included Vernita Leverington, Mr. Stark, Mr. Kiburz, Mrs. Beacom, and Mr. Glenny. At its height there was a Band Mothers Club A which provided uniforms, and the band's music was a feature of basketball games, Armistice Day, Memorial Day, and many school programs. In the late forties, the band died away but was revived in the fall of 1955 when Miss Barnes became the director of a large group of beginners. - In the past three yezars instrumental music has again been a feature of the school and in ad- dition a community band offered further opportunities for the more advanced pupils. Winslow's last graduates marched to the accompaniment of a Winslow instrumental ensemble. ' 3' W9 , ir Y' .X fl Q , . Lf 3 - Lrkk . 's Q WF Q ' iff . U11 Tw 5? S if M,, , MW '. The Value of Music in the chools The value of music in the schools is as the value of music throughout God's universe. When we react to music we are completely in tune with nature's rhythmic pattern. Just as surely as the sun shall rise and set, the moon-the tide-Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter come and go, just as surely shall we breathe and blink, wake and sleep, and our heart beat according to the pattern laid out by Him. When our music is serene the neurotic can be calmed, and a mere quickening of the beat can arouse the sluggish pulse. Singing, or blowing aninstrument can literally blow the poison from our life sustaining blood stream. Music in the schools has particular value because it reaches the boy or girl at a time when the understanding of the regular rhythms of music, and the breaking of these rhythms in the modern mode can be compared to the disturbance ofthe rhythmic pattern of the atoms by the scientist. When there is understanding and familiarity with the subject, the teen age rock and roll rhythms need not cause a minor atomic explosion. Last, but not least, is the value of self-discipline imposed on the student of music in the schools. Whether vocal or instrumental, this discipline is given voice in the commitment of the school musician- To be in the right place at the right time, with the right instrument, the right imiform, and the right attitude. If, in these last years when the music has been placed in my hands, I have been able to po- lish just one facet of this precious jewel and to give it a more pleasing lustre, then am I repaid a thousand fold.

Mr. Glen Shippy was the instructor and thus there started a twenty year term for vocational agriculture in our high school. Winslow was the last rural high school in Stephenson County to include vocational agriculture in the course of study. The growth of this subject has been con- tinual in Illinois. When Winslow added the course, it was being taught in 305 high schools in Illinoisg now more than 500 schools in the state have vocational agriculture. As far as we know, vocational agriculture was the only course in the history of Winslow High which received special financial assistance from Smith-Hughes Act funds. The Winslow Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized early in the 1938 school year with 25 charter members and Norman Lee as the first president. Mr. Shippy was very popular with the students, their parents, and the farmers of the Winslow community. The F.F.A. organization had Mr. Shippy as adviser until 1943. Activities of the chapter were many and varied. The first F.F.A. banquet was held in the basement of the Methodist Church on March 22, 1939. The Winslow Community Fair was held each fall under the sponsorship of this organization. These fairs drew large crowds of people--some who came to display their produce and others who came to view the many entries and to find whose might be judged the best. The gym would be filled with samples of corn, oats, pumpkins, and other farm products while some of the school rooms held such things as beautiful and appetizing cakes and canned goods. The ladies would also display their examples of fine sewing and knitting. The fairs were greatly enjoyed by the entire community. In 1943 and 1944 Mr. Robert Briggs was the agriculture teacher and F.F.A. adviser and in 1945 Mr. Edward Gaffney held the position. The Winslow Chapter continued to make a name for itself with its activi- ties and in 'community service. Mr. Carl Miller was the fourth andlast chapter adviser and vocational agriculture instructor, having served from 1946 to 1958. Almost every high school farm boy has taken advantage of the opportunities offered by F.F.A. mem- bership. With the expanding program on the state level our chapter has sent delegates to the state conven- tion in Springfield each June. In October 1954 Mr. Miller, Daurel Leverton, Donavon Lee, Duane Kleckler, and Donald Drye attended the silver anniversaryNational F.F.A. Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. They enjoyed seeing and hearing President Eisenhower there as the main attraction to the delegates from all states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The chapter has been active in sectional activities. In judging, the accomplishments have been many. The Winslow judging teams have won many awards in the Dairy, Fatstock, Grain, and Poultry contests. Usu- ally Winslow was able to place in the first ten of the twenty schools represented and often the teams placed first. Winslow poultry judges have gained a position in the state finals four different times since 1948, but they never were able to win the state contest. Project work has played an important partin the vocational agriculture and F.F.A. programs. Re- quirements for taking vocational agriculture and belonging to the F.F.A. specify that the student must carry a home project in either livestock or crops. These projects were compared with those of other schools at the sectional F.F. A. fairs held each year. Over the years, members from our chapter have shown many champions. Winslow has twice won the Freeport Kiwanis Club plaque for the chapter in the section which showed the best group of swine. In October 1956 our chapter sponsored the first sectional F.F.A. Boar and Gilt sale. This sale was held at the Winslow sales barn in both 1956 and 1957. Former F.F.A. members will also remember the edu- cational trips to the Chicago International Livestock Exposition and the National Dairy Cattle Congress at Waterloo, Iowa, as well as many others. Members of the Winslow chapter who earned the State Farmer Degree were Elston Miller, Leland Wenzel, Melvin Burkhalter, Robert Boyer, Anton Moest, Kenneth Fieldstad, Nathan Hale, Duane Kleckler, and Alvin Wire. The degree was awarded to these members by the state association at Springfield, at annual state conventions. Alvin Wire has been nominated by the state association to receive the highest degree of our organi- zation, that of American Farmer. He will journey to Kansas City in October 1958 to be awarded the gold key. Only one in each thousand F.F.A. members is permitted to hold the rank of American Farmer and Alvin will hold the distinct honor of being the only recipient from the Winslow Chapter. The last social function of the Winslow chapter was the annual F.F.A. wiener roast which was held at Cedar Cave. This brings to a close the long list of parties and good times centering around this little beauty spot of our community. Taking the aggregate yearly membership of the Winslow F.F.A. chapter we find a grand total of 437 boys who have been active members. It is our hope that this organization has faithfully served its many members by having taught new and scientific methods of modern farming, by having developed rural leader- ship, by having created a deeper love and understanding of farm life, and by having kindled within them a desire to live and work on a good farm as a way of life. vmi5Luw mulFT2:R W 111 the 40'S we Blade Pig bl'00d9I'S- Officers admire judging 'fI'0PhY We showed at the fairs 1.

Prior to 1948 the Jlmior-Senior Banquet had been for many years the principal social event for upper classmen. 1948 On the night of May 14, 1948, a spectacular event took place in the gym of Winslow High. It was the Junior Prom, given in honor of the Senior Class of '48. Miss Ruehmer, class adviser of the class of '49, was very instrumental in initiating what was to become the most outstanding social event of each spring season. The gym was beautifully decorated inaHawaiian theme. There was a false ceiling and a big moon shone through the palms. A wishing well centered the dance floor, and the Royal Palm Cafe did a good business in leis and punch. Patricia Kilian was chosen queen and James Mani was chosen king by the juniors and they reigned for the evening. Music for this first prom was furnished by Morrie Ludolph and his orchestra. The great success of this first prom left a definite desire on the part of oncoming classes to equal or better this fine event when it came their turn. 1949 A great deal of preparation went into the staging of the Springtime Prom of 1949. A large Maypole in the center of the dance floor was used to support the pastel paper streamers which carried to all sides and then dropped to the floor. A white fence was used to encircle the dance floor. The juniors were fortunate to have a wealth of spring flowers available and excellent use was made of them. Crab apple trees in full bloom filled the corners of the gym and lilacs gave their wonderful perfume for the occasion. Other proms have competed with the prom of '49 in beauty, but none in fragrance. Joe Larson and Phyllis Shippy were crowned king and queen and led the grand march. A large crowd attended and everyone enjoyed danc- ing to the music of Andy Anderson and his band. People have remarked that this was one of the most beautifully done of our spring proms. chool Proms 1950 The juniors of 1950 went to the frozen North to get their Winter Wonderland theme. Light blue and white were the predominating colors, giving the entire setting a cool pleasing appearance. Northern lights were reflected on all the decorations and walls of the gym by a rotating ball containing many reflecting surfaces. Large pieces of cotton were scattered on the floor of the gym to simulate snow. Life-sized polar bears, icebergs, penguins, and igloos were located on the margins of the dance floor. Claire Cross and Helen Rupnow were crowned for this wonderful prom. Their attendants were Twyla Leverton, Leslie Graham, Ellen Vickers, and Dwight Drye, Hartlieb's orchestra furnished delightful music for this prom. 1951 For the 1951 prom the gym was decorated in an underwater theme. A treasure chest was located in the center of the floor and gigantic tropi- cal fish in brilliant colors were floating about the gym. The dining area was draped with gilded fish net and goldfish bowls centered the refresh- ment tables. The king and queen of this underwater kingdom were Monna Mae Stubbe and Duane Drye, with Nancy Smith and Dale Rogers as their at- tendants. Music was provided by Hartlieb's orchestra from Freeport. 1952 Showboat was the theme of the 1952 prom. The ceiling was hung with stars and a huge cardboard riverboat was used to set off the stage. On one side of the boat was a gang-plank and a town where purchases could be made. An outdoor cafe served as a resting and eating place for the couples. The king and queen for this prom were Harold Stoehr and Bonnie Mani. Their attendants were Keith Hudson and Susan Crandall. Al Bolinger played for this showboat evening. Winslow High 1953 Heaven for a Night was portrayed very successfully for the 1953 prom. The gym was decorated in a heavenly atmosphere with fluffy clouds strung out over the floor and along the walls. A huge harp was placed in a corner where punch was served. Stars were used to decorate the ceiling. The king and queen for this prom were Dean Cardascio and Donna Martin. Their attendants were Donald Holmes and Shirley Jordan. Music was presented by Cliff Kay and his orchestra. 1954 Everyone enjoyed the prom in 1954 when the gym was made over into a bit of Old South for the evening. The false ceiling was filled with glittering stars and there was a large moon. A little life-sized log cabin was located in a corner with a life-like dummy of a negro sitting along side. A stone wall fence covered one wall of the gym while on the other side was located a big cotton field. There also was a large veranda where Arlan Seefeldt and Nancy Mani were made the royal couple for the evening. After the coronation, the grand march was held with the royal couple at the head. Next in line in the grand march followed Clair Kimdert and Jean 1955 , For the spring of 1955, the gym was decorated in a Swiss theme called the May Fest. The huge false ceiling was made of pink,white, and black stringers leading to the central may pole. To hide the bleachers, colorful shields of the twenty-two cantons of Switzerland were strung out in a row. In the Swiss Cafe, where the dancers went to eat, there was an attractive fire place. On the mantle was a group of Swiss Bells. A large Alpine horn adorned the east wall. A huge picture of the mountain The Jung- frau, painted in Switzerland, was displayed. Each of the waitresses wore an authentic Swiss costume. To add even more Swiss color, home- made bretzelies and punch were served. Mary Martha Bennehoff and Gene Tree weretcrowned king and queen and Robert Hastings and Jerry Ann Bitz were their attendants. Hawes , the attendants . sw.. ' ' I ffl. A School Proms 1956 For the 1956 prom a Parisian theme was used. Stars of many sizes covered the ceiling. The gym was decorated to depict different districts of the city of Paris. A newspaper stand, with French papers and maga- zines, was located near the entrance. A doll shop displayed dolls of all styles of dress in its window. Silhouettes ofthe Eiffel Tower, two statues, and the Arch of Triumph covered the bleachers. A huge curtain of gauze covered the whole south side of the gym to give this scene a distant ap- pearance. ' Each of the waitresses was dressed in a French costume. Grape juice and French pastries were served in the sidewalk cafe at tables covered with checked cloths. Robert Holmes and Corrine Rabe were crowned and led the grand march with Kay Clikeman and Lee Retzlaff as their attendants. Andy Anderson and his band played French music to lend the air of Gay Paree. - 1957 For the 1957 prom Storybook Land was chosen for the theme. The entrance to the gym was decorated by a huge book covering the entrance. The first couple broke through this book into Storybook Land. The unique ceiling was a spider web which stretched to all corners of the gym with a huge spider hung upside down from the center of the web. To enhance the theme, a huge mural showing a castle, Cinderella and her pumpkin coach, and a lake with a pirate ship stretched across the south side of the gym. Large red and white candy canes decorated the bandshell and the coronation platform. The dancers had their lunch in the garden, where punch was served from the well. Donavon Lee and Karon Wyssbrod were crowned king and queen of Storybook Land for the night. Their attendants were Alvin Wire and Patricia Crouse. The music was again played by Andy Anderson and his band 1 1958 The final Winslow prom was held on May 3, 1958. The theme, Moonlight Serenade, was carried out in a spring garden decorated with tulips and willows and hung with Japanese lanterns. The moon and stars shone from above on a trellised archway and a pool. Couples reached the veranda, where punch was served, by crossing the footbridge over the pool. Under a yellow canopy Duane Rodebaugh and Marlene Keller were crowned king and queen of the prom and with their attendants, Emilie Niemeier and Ben Stubbe, led the grand march. Andy Anderson's orchestra provided the gay music for the dancers and a large gathering enjoyed this final Junior-Senior Prom. , l X 0 x af? V ' L Q., W f .M sa! W J R wxm 'HW , ,, FW K, . I .,,, .

During the noon hours the girls watched the boys play hard ball, using the old system of the first back from dinner getting the key playing positions. In 1912 the first organized sport,basketball,was introduced to our community. From a man's dream came the sport which was to be most prominent in our school. The man, Thomas Brew fpic- tured on page 605 , was principal at this time. Mr. Brew purchased a basketball, gathered a few male students who were interested in the sport and began holding practice outdoors on a makeshift court. The Lyric Opera House was rented for inside practices but this grew too expensive. Mr. Brew men- tioned this problem to his friend, Rev. George Green, student minister of the Methodist Church. Rev. Green suggested that next to his own church stood a small brick church, idle since the congregation had been disbanded. The men surveyed the structure and found it a ff sad layout for a court, but being desperate they decided to it try to use it. A local merchant, W.F. Schramm, who was B' also interested in their efforts, contacted those trustees of I the old church who were still in the area and made arrange- fe ments to purchase the property. With Volunteer labor they removed the old wooden pews and began laying out a satis- - factory court. At one end of the floor was the old chunk stove which furnished heat for the gym. One had to be care- ful or he might come out of the game with more than floor burns. 44: ,jg ' gum ' t The evening of the first game with another school the townspeople turned out to see what nonsense the school boys were up to now.After the team had dressed, they hestitated about coming out of the dressing room, so Rev. Green also put on a uniform and led the team onto the court. This being the first time the game was played in our community, the women were shocked at the sight of these boys in shorts and jerseys, but the sport was gradually accepted. Some of .f'L....':fr:...

Referees were local townsmen who volunteered to act in this capacity. Some teams which Winslow played in the early days were Cedarville, Orange- ville, McConnell, Warren, Nora, and South Wayne. After the game took hold, baskets were pur- chased and installed in the Lyric Opera House, which made a better court. All home games were held there until 1934 when the high school gym was built. How different were those early basketball games from those we see today! The players were allowed an unlimited number of fouls and all free throws were taken by the captain of the opposing team. After each basket the ball was brought back for a center jump. What an advantage for a tall center! . In 1916 Mr. Brew organized a high school hardball team and was successful in scheduling two games with the South Wayne High School. Baseball was soon dropped as a school sport until John McKenna revived it in 1946. The Stephenson County High School Association was organized in 1923 for the purpose of promoting good will and sportsmanship among the high schools of the county. The schools belonging to this organization were Davis,Dakota, Lena, Pearl City, Cedarville, Orangeville, and Winslow. Durand later replaced Davis. In 1923-24 Winslow had a very successful basketball season. For the first time the school's team was never defeated on its home floor. In this season came one of the most lopsided scores ever recorded, when Winslow defeated Durand by 43 to nothing. In the twenties track played a rather important role in spring sports. One big meet was held on a Saturday in conjunction with the coluity literary contest. Winslow always came through with her share of the honors. In these early years tennis courts were located on the school grounds and this sport too flourished for a few years. Records show that Winslow won the county tennis tournament in 1927.

Softball, or kittenbal1 , as it was first labeled, was introduced as a fall sport in 1927 and continued until the early fifties. The 1939 district tournament champions with their coach, Ernest Poe. The 1940 team was also a district tourney champion. Coach Clyde Peterson with his 1941 county tournament champions, As the trophies indicate, Winslow won both the A and B titles in county tournament play. This 1944 softball team, with Coach George Jernegan, is proud of its sportsmanship trophy. Winslow won the sportsmanship trophy in softball in both 1943 and 1944. Football was intro- duced as a fall sport in 1947. Pictured here is the 1949 team, Homecoming dances were held in 1948 and 1949. The 1946 and 1947 basketball teams were both quite successful. In 1946 the county tournament was held at Winslow and we won both the A and B trophies. This team also came up with the conference title. The 1947 team pictured above won the county tournament as well as the district tourna- ment. At the regional they beat Orangeville and on the following evening lost to West Rockford in a close game whose outcome largely rested on a referee's unfavorable decision which was questioned even in the press at the time. It is with mixed emotions that I learn of the passing of Winslow High School--for I spent 5 of my happiest years there-- 1945-50. Many times have I reflected on the pleasant memories of things that happened during those years, especially of the suc- cessful basketball teams that had very fine records-particularly against Orangeville and Lena. However, more important to me was the opportunity of being able to teach and associate with many fine boys and girls in the classroom as well as on the hardcourt. Lessons learned in those days have often helped me since. While my work has taken me to other places, I often share with my family the wonderful experi- ences that were mine at Winslow High. I should like to take this opportunity to again cordially greet all faculty members and former students wherever they may be, and my best wishes go with them.

V. 5'-5 'S- 'Q tax-1 5 3 V3 F E In the northwestern part of the State of Illinois the Peca- tonica River flowed through virgin forests abounding in wild game, fish and fowl. The beautiful valley and its tributaries were in- habited by the Sauk and Fox Indian tribes under the leadership of Chief Blackhawk. The territory was untouched by white men until 1820 when a trail was markedthrough the area by men on their way to the Galena lead mines. Chronology 1833--Lyman Brewster migrated from Vermont to Tennes- see and then on to Illinois to settle in the Winslow area near the bend in the river below the mouth of Honey Creek. There he es- tablished the first ferry on the Pecatonica River and the first store and mill in the area. This sweep mill was located on land now occupied by Art Rockow. Mr. Brewster made the first land claim in Winslow Township but his attempt to develop a permanent settle- ment failed. Asa Ballenger, a Methodist circuit rider living in Ohio, passed through this country and returned to Ohio and brought his family to settle here. They travelled to Galena via the Ohio, and Mississippi rivers and then overland to this region. On the over- land journey they made the acquaintance of Chief Blackhawk, who was quite struck with the quiet ways, fair complexion, and light hair of little Winney Ballenger and offered to buy her from her father. When this little girl was elderly,she could still count in the Indian language, using the words Chief Blackhawk had taught her. Rev. Ballenger preached in the cabins and groves of the Winslow area for many years. 1834--A. Ransom arrived in the area and settled about one mile south of Mr. Brewster at a point now occupied by the Loris Leverton property. There Mr. Ransom plotted a town named Ran- somburg, but was unable to develop the settlement. James Eells constructed a combination home and inn at Ransomburg. In this K, 6 year Jane Goodhue taught the first school at Ransomburg. QQ George Lott built the first house in the Winslow village. 19, Webster Bros. constructed a dam and saw mill on Indian Creek.

Winslow, iephenson 1838--The Boston-Western Land company sent four men, Morton, Thompson, Bradford, and Loring, to the site of Winslow village to construct the first requisites of a town: a hotel, the original Winslow House lon the site of the Youtzy buildingj, with a livery stable in back lburned in 190255 a blacksmith shop and a wheelwright shop on the south bank of Indian Creek, back of the present Ray Stamm building. The water power from the dam, constructed by the Webster Brothers in 1834,furnished the power for the wheel- wright and wagon shop, The saw mill moved to a location one mile east of Winslow, at the base of the hill just east of Honey Creek and north of the present blacktop road. It was known as the Rodebaugh mill. A dam was constructed south of the state line on Honey Creek and the water diverted through a flume the three-quarters of a mile down to the sawmill. It was in 1838 that Isaac V. Gage, the first boy, was born in the settlement. 1840--Mr. Bradford and Mr. Loring remained in Winslow. Here they erected for the land company the first flour and corn mill in northern Illinois, on the site now occupied by the bank building. Evidence of the flume still exists under the present Winslow State Bank. It has been noted that settlers from as far south as Freeport and as far north as New Glarus, Wisconsin, brought their wheat and corn to this mill to be made into flour and meal. Mr. Bradford and Mr. Loring then leased the mill from the land company with Mr. Bradford later becoming sole operator of the mill and also of thewheelwright and wagon shop. In addition he manufactured shingles and laths and constructed a shot tower in back of the flour mill. In 1854 he constructed a shot tower that today may be seen in Tower Hill State Park, near Spring Green, Wisconsin. On his return to Winslow he operated a steamboat on the Peca- tonica River for three years. This Mr. Bradford was a di- rect descendant of Governor Bradford of the Plymouth Colony. Mr. Bradford built the first frame house in Winslow in the early 1840's, and it was considered the best in Step- henson County at that time. This house, which was framed and finished in walnut, still standsg it is the house now owned and occupied by Lewis Tree on Rice Street. Mr. Bradford was Winslow's first postmaster and used a room in his home as the post office. 1843--Cyrus Woodman purchased government land and land claims of others amoimting to 1200 acres, of which Winslow was a part. This purchase dissolved the Boston- Western Land Company claims in this area. On of the first land sales was the lot upon which the Maricle house now stands. It was named Hotel Lot, because Mr. Chawgo owned and operated a hotel at this site. Solace and Van Sickle later purchased the hotel and moved it to the present site of Claire Campbell's building, where it burned in the fire of 1902. County, Illinois L 5 'G 'wx 7? Z 3-.

The growth of the village of Winslow from this date on was very rapid and by 1889 the business and residential sections were comprised as they are today. A rope ferry was operated across the river in this year. Russell Square was designated as the vil- lage park. 1845--The first bridge across the Pecatonica River was built at Winslow, a bridge which was de- stroyed in 1847 by flood. The second bridge was built in 1847, one mile south of town below Honey Creek and near the site of Brewster's ferry, it too was destroyed by flood, in 1848. The third bridge was built in the village in 1849 and torn down in 1889 to make room for the steel bridge, which was constructed at a cost of approximately 55000. This bridge was torn down in 1956 to make room for the present steel and concrete structure. 1847 --A school lot was purchased by the village, a lot which is now the residence of Nettie Bartelt. 1849--The first school was held in the loft of Edward Hunt's cooper shop, now the Gust Rockow residence, with Mr. Pym the teacher. The subjects taught consisted of the three R's, geography, and spelling. Mrs. Deborah Carver arrived to join her husband, Dr. Carver, a successful physician. Dr. Carver was a direct descendant of Gov. Carver of the Plymouth Colony. Their son, Frank Carver, became famous as the world champion rifle shot and was starred with Buffalo Bill Cody in an act featuring his shooting ability. He also exhibited his prowess before the crowned heads of Europe. His body was returned to Winslow in 1927 for burial in the community cemetery and, as he requested, a marker consisting of a large glacial boulder has been placed as a memorial, a bronze plaque is mounted on the boulder. 1850--The township was set apart as Winslow Town- ship. The first election was held April 2, with 60 votes cast. Those elected were Supervisor, C. Judson, Town 1 Clerk, Edward Hunt, Assessor, James Gore, Collector, 1 Henry H. Wright, Overseer of the Poor, Robert Barrg 3 Commissioners of Highways, James Taylor, James Eells, and B. Denny, Justices, Elias Hunt and Jonathon Lincoln, and Constables, Abe Smith and Wm. M. Lincoln. The first schoolhouse was constructed on the lot which had been purchased in 1847. It was a one-room school house, the pride of the village,withabell on top which could be heard throughout the community. 1851--The township roads were laid out. 1854--A bridge was constructed across Honey Creek. Bradford Mill was destroyed by fire in 1854 and was re- built. It burned again in 1861 and was rebuilt in 1869 as a store and mill of Turnbull, Fuller 8: Co., caught fire in 1877 and was reopened as a bank building, burned in 1902 and was rebuilt by J.B. Fuller as one of the finest bank buildings in northern Illinois. It stands today as the present bank building. 1855--The Presbyterians organized and constructed a church, referred to as the brick church, on the site of the present Methodist parsonage. There were 19 members. Before this date church services for all denominations had been held in Wright Hall and the hall continued to be used until 1891. 1862--On April 2, Porter Stites died at the battle of Shiloh. He was Winslow's first Civil War casualty and the local G.A.R. , formed after the war, took the name of the Porter Stites post. The village hall was built in this year, a frame build- ing at the present site, which burned in 1910. 1865--A S500 bounty was paid to enlistees returning from the War between the States. 1867--The Winslow Lodge 564, AF and AM was chartered on October 1. 1872--The school constructed in 1850 became too small and inadequate, and school was held in the basement of the Presbyterian Church. 1873--The old school was torn down and a new two- story two-room school was constructed on the same site. Two teachers were employed. 1877--The Illinois Central built a railroad through the village, which became a stop on the Dodgeville line. . The old wheelwright shop was converted to an en- gine-driven feed mill after the Turnbull and Fuller fire. The dam on Indian Creek was removed and the mill pond drained. This was the end of water power in Winslow. 1889--The village of Winslow was incorporated to in- clude the business and residential section west of the Peca- tonica River. Officers elected were: President of the board, W. H. Eellsg Trustees, F.W. Burley, W.H. Wickwire, T.J. Van Matre, Jas. Woomer, Henry Chawgo, and Walker Stoneg and Clerk, Martin Emrick. 1891--An iron bridge was built across Indian Creek. The United Brethren Church was built at the present site. The Presbyterian Church became an Evangelical Church. 1893--A creamery was built by Younger at the site of the present Frank Lang residence. This was the first industry to promote dairying in this area. 1896--The Winslow Register printed its first issue. 1898--The Winslow Methodist Church was built at its present site. 1899--Oil burning street lamps were purchased. 1900--The village obtained the deed to Russell Square. 1901--A village ordinance ordered the sale of lots in Russell Square. George Broum built his restaurant on the first lot purchased, which later became Fuller Hotel,which burned in 1910. The village purchased pails and ladders for fire protection. The steel cages were in- stalled in the village hall. The proceeds from the sale of lots in Russell Square were used to purchase land for a village park. The park was named in honor of Mr. Woodman, the founder of Winslow, and it is the same park we know today. The two-room school became inade- quate and it became necessary to hold some classes in other available rooms in the vil- lage. The village purchased a new school lot, which is the site of the present school. 1902--This was an eventful year in the history of Winslow. On February 2 a fire engine was or- dered. On February 15, 500 feet of fire hose were ordered. On March 1, the fire engine was delivered but not the hose! March 14 was Black Friday, not soon to be forgotten. At about 9 P. M. , with a heavy wind blowing from the southeast, a cry of 'iFire! was heard and it was soon discovered that the business district of Winslow was doomed. The fire started in the covered alley to the rear of the B.L. Wright store ion the Zipse cornery. Since there were only buckets and ladders to fight it with, the fire was soon out of control and before it was stopped, 20 buildings had been destroyed and 13 families were homeless. The fire consumed all busi- ness buildings from the present building site of Winslow Sales west to Zipse corner, north to include Dr. Boeke's garage, and on the west side of the street,the sites ofthe Campbell and Foulker residences, the Youtzy building, and the Bank building. Only the heroic efforts of the people in the community, with help from Freeport and Lena, saved the residential district of Rice Street and the remainder of the business district on the west side of the street.

Other large floods were in 1916 and 1929. 1916--Karlen's barn at the farm in town burned on March 22. Prior to 1916 the population obtained its water from drilled and dug wells. The discussion of a water supply system for the village had been in progress for twenty years. The main factors bringing it to a head were the lack of adequate water for fire protection and the poor quality of the drinking water along Rice Street. An election was held in the fall of 1915, and the vil- lage voted two to one in favor of a public water supply system. The first well was completed on August 24, 1916, at a total cost of 5900. Total cost of the system aside from the well drilling and pumping machinery was approximately S12 000 The 40 000 gallon elevatedtankwhlch cost original ly S2 200 erected would now cost an estimated S22 000 The present free flowing well was drilled to a depth of 355 feet by P E M1ll1s of Byron ln 1927 after the old well was found to be contaminated by surface drainage 1920 To the rear of Dr Boeke's property stood an old livery barn In 1920 this barn was converted into a grist mill, powered by a 50 horse, one cylinder, upright Diesel engine. This mill was operated by Sanford and Ar- chie Larson for fifteen years and closed in 1935. No mill then operated in the village until the present mill, now operated by the Co-op, was opened by Bill Grunder in 1950. 1921--April 16. The Big Snow.

I was very eager to conduct a good school program, and I soon found thatlhad the assistance of a very cooperative school board, an excellent faculty and a student body that wished to be a part of that good school program. The results were indeed gratifying. For eleven years I remained in Winslow, and I shall always be proud of those years and the accomplishments of those who were students there. It has been my pleasure to be present at several class reunions of the graduating classes, andl have been pleased to hear of the success of the students in a great variety of occupations. Another compensation to a teacher for the years of service spent in a community is the privilege of having former students drop in occasionally to visit and to recount past experiences. In this, my reward has been great, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my associations through the years. It is my desire to use this means of extending the sincere greetings of our family to you. Thos . R. Pfisterer Thirteen years ago I left Winslow High School after spending seventeen years in the system. This seventeen years, I believe, is the longest term served by any one person in the High School I am glad thatl spent those years in your town. In those years I shared your joys, sorrows, and other everyday experiences. There, people were neighbors, not just the persons living next door. I can recall with pride the 1929, 30, and 31 basketball teams who won the cotuity tournament three years ina row. I also remem- ber the games I played with those boys later as the town team. I have always felt a great amount of pride in the graduates of our school who distinguished themselves in the professional fields. But my greatest pride had been the satisfaction of seeing most of our former students grow up, marry and raise a family of good, well adjusted, law abiding citizens. I remember those who were in the services during the war. The letters I received from them told me things they never could tell me personally. I have them all in a suitcase upstairs. Someday in my retirement I'd like to write a book about them. Somehow I can't forget about those who never came back. These memories are a part of their immortality. We should never forget them. Yes, people will say that Winslow High School passed out of existence in 1958. But we who attended there , and taught there, know better. We know that the things you learned there, and the attitudes you developed there, will affect the lives of all our descendants for years to come. We believe that the world is a little bit better be- cause Winslow High School existed from 1927-1958. C. C. Clarno As I look back over my thirteen years in the Winslow Schools, I remember both pleasant and unpleasant experiences..Sharing the joys and the sorrows of the students helps one to truly understand what is going on in the minds of these fine young people. The athletic teams, from the smallest school in the con- ference, have Won more than their share of conference and tourna- ment championships. They have given the Winslow fans many, many thrills. I am sure we all remember the year that Winslow, the under- dog, won the county tournament on four points after losing most of the conference games. Again, the students and fans will never for- get our team the night we lost to Rockford after leading the first three quarters. Our team came through again this year. After having a poor season, the boys came back to win the District Tournament and play a fine final game against St. Thomas at Rockford. Two plays stand out as I think back through the years. The Mad Hatters and the High School Mystery were certainly outstand- ing and I'm sure I shall never forget the fun we had preparing and presenting those plays. Our classes have staged many other credit- able productions. I have always enjoyed working with vocal music. The pro- grams and trips to music contests, both district and state, bring back pleasant memories. It is my sincere wish that the pupils who will attend the new high school next year will give their best. Your cooperation with the teachers and the administration will help to make your years in high school very successful and happy.

Emilie enior Class Prophecy In the space travel age, Ben Stubbe Jr., the old philosopher, decided to visit his classmates of the 1958 Winslow High School graduating class. After readying his space ship and double-checking all instruments, Ben blasted off to Mars. This leg of the journey was relatively uneventful. Only a few other ships and several groups of flying saucers were sighted. Before landing, Ben had contacted Carol Schliem by radio-telephone and he was directed in to his landing on a clear beam. After the usual Martian greeting of rubbing noses, Carol and Ben had a long chat about old times at Winslow. Carol, who had graduated with honors from the music college of Mars University , had her prize stu- dents sing Without a Song as a farewell to Ben. Small troubles that had developed in the workings of the ship were repaired and soon the old philosopher was off to Venus to call on Jane Bitz. Jane was found busy in her observatory tracking a luxurious space vehicle piloted by Pat Metz. All sixteen of the passengers were Pat's children and what a time they were having shooting their ray guns at small stars of the milky way and disintegra- ting them with large and noisy explosions. Jane had become a prominent student of the Universe, she was so busy that the visit was necessarily cut short. So Ben was off to Jupiter to see an old friend and fellow graduate, Clara Moyer. The trip was quite rough with stellar dust a real nuisance. Ben had no special equipment to combat the dust and other interferences encountered. Ben had almost given up finding Clara until he was finally able to recognize her behind her disguise. Clara had been a clown for many years and an excellent one too, according to all reports. After leaving Jupiter, Ben started on his long journey to Saturn where Dude Rodebaugh was visited in his luxurious surroundings. Dude was owner and manager of a large space ship factory. After visiting for a short time, Ben traded his ship on a Rodebaugh Redstone. Dude was proud to dis- play his championship trophies won at Saturn-slinging, agame of great skill, mastered by only a few. The new ship performed magnificently on the way to Uranus. Marlene Keller, president of the Interplanetary Council, had her headquarters there. Marlene had just finished addressing the coun- cil when Ben met her. Matters before the council were grave at this time, due to so many space collisions and Marlene was promoting a great space safety campaign. The slogan was Don't blast off in all directions. Special fuel tanks were added for the long dark trip to Neptime where the old philosopher visited with Mrs. Zxrumyveltowdrk, formerly Emilie Niemeier, who was rrmning a very successful business in space souvenirs. On the way back to earth the philisopher became ill and made an emergency landing at Pluto. He was rushed to a hospital in a semi-conscious condition and upon awakening he was amazed to be looking into the face of Dr. Betty Zueger, who used her noted skill to make him well again. Betty was thrilled to hear of the doings and accomplishments of members of the class of '58, however, she had certainly become a real Plutocrat. After quite a lengthy rest the old philosopher made his journey back to earth. Upon landing he was frightened to find himself almost unable to breathe regular air, he was allergic to water and his English was very poor. He paid a call on the Rev. Larry Ocker, who was quite interested to hear about all his classmates and about life on all the planets. However, this didn't change Rev. Ocker's opinions which he had clearly set forth in his latest books on THE DOWNFALL OF THE UNIVERSE and PLANETARY PILFERING. Senior Class History We nineteen green freshmen started the year with Arthur Leverington as President, George Drye-Vice President, Carol Schliem-Secretary and Treasurer, and Betty Zueger-Student Council representative. Mr. Harms was our adviser.We were initiated September 17 and gave the Sophomores a return party October 8. During the year we held candy sales and skating parties. Also we took a trip to Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and Industry. As Sophomores we gave a rousing welcome to the new freshies by initiating them into W.H.S. We presented Christmas House at the school Christmas party, our first attempt at drama- tics. We had the following class officers-Marlene Keller-President, Duane Rodebaugh-Vice Presi- dent, Carol Schliem-Secretary-Treasurer, Larry Ocker-Student Council representative. Our junior class started the year with twelve members. Early in the year the following officers were chosen to lead the class: Marlene Keller-President, Emilie Niemeier-Vice President, Carol Schliem-Secretary-Treasurer, and Carol was also Student Council representative. The boys of our class definitely in the minority,have continually struggled to equal us girls in their ability even though they could never equal us in number. Earlyin November our class presented Brother Goose which was quite a success. Also we presented Story Book Land on May 11th in honor of the class of '57, another of the traditionally fine Winslow proms. We started the year with nine seniors but gained a tenth member when Pat Metz transferred to Winslow from Shullsburg, Wisconsin. As the year progressed we sold jewelry, candy, and barbe- cues at noon, held bake sales, besides selling ads for the first time in years to help raise money for the publication of our Historical Win-nel. In the spring our class presented the play Meet the Husband. Then in May a skip day was enjoyed by the members of our class as we traveled to Minne- sota. Our Baccalaureate was held the evening of June lst and on June 2nd we were graduated as the last class in the long and interesting history of Winslow High School. GRADUATION Jeff Smith plays a delightful organ prelude. The Seniors are congratulated as they receive their diplomas from Mr. William Nie- meier. EXERCISES The Seniors march in to Pomp and Circumstanceu played by the high school combo Teachers and board members were the first to congratulate the last graduates of Win slow High School.

Jeffrey Smith, Patricia Solace and Larry Stabenow, represent our class on the student council. Mr. Tillotson has been our class adviser for two years. On November 7 and 8 we presented our Junior Play, Mystery in the Library, which was a great success. Our prom, Moonlight Serenade, was held on the evening of May 3. This ended a series of fine spring proms. This social event represented our last' group effort and served as a social farewell to good old Winslow High.

This selling experience along with the job of handling the large volume of Win-nel sales plus all the extra typing has given us valuable training. We wish to thank Mr. Miller for his un- tiring efforts in editing the historical section of our book. Practically all of the recent snapshots used were taken by him. HISTORICAL SECTION pecial Mention Soon after the decision was made to include a historical section in this last Win-nel it be- came evident that a task of such magnitude was much more than the busy student staff from a small class could be called upon to do alone. However, interest in the historical book sprang up in our community and many people unselfishly offered their services. I wish to convey my special thanks tO: Winston Stewart, who gave unselfishly of his time in research on the village history, gathered the names of graduates of the early years, sought out pictures such as those on page 60 and found the identity of persons pictured. Winston also drew the village maps. Harold Fowler, who furnished information on the more recent village history and older pictures of general interest. Leslie Graham, who helped with the athletic history. George T. Green of Bradenton, Florida, whose letter gave the first-hand story of the beginnings of basketball in our community. Marlene Keller, for writing the GAA history. Betty Zueger, for her work on the history of our proms. George Abplanalp, who made many fine reprints of old pictures for us. Eileen Wire, for research on the history of school newspapers. Roscoe Hastings, who drew the history division page. Ruth Drye Albrecht, for her painstaking typing of the graduate list on pages 78-81. Mrs. Carl Miller, who wrote the editorial on pages 10 and 11 and helped with checking and correc- ting copy. Mr. Dupee, our printer, who went beyond the usual task in yearbook printing by patiently copying pictures from old yearbooks etc. I wish also to thank Emilie Niemeier, Carol Schliem, Marlene Keller, Clara Moyer and Duane Rodebaugh of the regular staff who spent time after the close of school in typing and helping to complete the book. Those, too numerous to mention, who gave information through interviews or loaned pictures and old Win-nels to complete the files are also remembered.

We are glad to report that this group suffered no broken ribs while expanding their diaphragm. Their deep breathing, however, produced a tone which not only made the rafters .ring in the high school, but spilled over into the corridors of the new grade school. Their favorite song this year was The King of Love My Shepherd Is. Girls Chorus personnel was included in mixed chorus except for three girls who had academic classes in conflict with rehearsal period. Enough skill was gained by the group to do a presentable per- formance as an a cappella group, of Dedication by Franz. Boys chorus gradually diminished into a small but harmonious group and singing once more be- came fun. All three groups performed at Festival and on the Band and Choral Concert. Girls chorus sang for Baccalaureate and Mixed Chorus for Graduation Exercises. The vocal department was creditably represented at District Contest by Jeffrey Smith, Ben Stubbe, and the Girls Trio-Betty Zueger, Carol Schliem, and Marlene Keller-who received a rating of Excellent. Emilie Niemeier, Carol Schliem, and Karen Rodebaugh received a rating of Good on their vocal solos. We are happy to ' report that Carol Schliem received a Superior rating at State Contest last year after the '57 Win-nel had gone to press. X JB-QA!

In May the band per- formed in concert in conjunction with the CommunityBand, In 1957 the concert was given by the school band and a few soloists. On May 16th this year the group again played in concert. The difficulty of the music and the increased number of soloists attested to the musical growth of the group. Eighteen members will con- tinue in high school bands if transportation and instrumenta- tion permit. Fifteen members should continue in the Winslow Grade Group.

Only one of the original members was lost to this group between picture-taking time and performance time. This is agood record as rehearsals were held after school which shortened their free time and made spe- cial transportation arrangements necessary.

S00 be de rel 810, 112: 31-J, The G.A.A. activities of the final year for Winslow started out with a hike in the fall for the Freshman girls. On September 27 the G.A.A. girls sponsored a hayride for the F. F.A. boys. Although it was cold everyone had fum. A wiener roast was held at the park immediately after the hayride, and we froze still more. On December 18 we held the annual Christmas Party at Susan Leibfried's. After the initiation of the Freshmen girls, punch, cookies, and sandwiches were served. This year, like many other years, we sold Christmas cards and had bake sales for the purpose of paying the expenses of the annual G.A.A. trip to Chicago which was May 17.

The night was stormy which brought to their mind an old rumor about Mr. West's ghost who seemed to haunt the college. Many mysterious happenings were investigated. Finally Pre- sident Hartman arrived and took charge of the situation. The my- stery was finally cleared when Hanna Heinrich was discovered inhabiting a secret room off the library. Hanna was one of a spy group who were peddling infor- mation about our government to the enemy. She was using the se- cret room to make a dye which would penetrate an eg g shell and leave a message on the white of the egg. When the hideout was discovered the mystery soon cleared, Hanna Heinrich was killed, and the staff collected the reward for her discovery. Senior Play Meet the Husband was the intriguing title of the three- act farce comedy given by the Seniors April 10th and 11th. In the play you met the proverbial poor young man, in love with the rich girl, harassed by bill col- lectors, who, in order to make a large amount of money in short order, married a wealthy spin- ster on the agreement that they would be divorced as soon as she came into the fortune that was left to her on a condition that she marry anybody but the man she has been in lovewithforyears. After being married to about three different men she ended up with just one husband. Our Prom On May 11, 1957 our prom Story Book Land was given in honor of the seniors of v57. Our theme was developed around the characters from children's stories. Our large spider web false ceiling with mister spider near the cen- ter covered the entire dance floor. Co- lorful drawings decorated all sides. Andy Anderson and his band played from a colorful band shell. The grand march was a long colorful affair which followed the coronation of the king and queen. Moonlight Serenade, planned by the class of 1959, was held in the gym on May 3, 1958, when tulips and willows decorated a spring garden with a foot- bridge over the garden pool. Andy An- derson's orchestra furnished the music for the couples dancing under the decora- tive stars and Japanese lanterns. Mar- lene Keller and Duane Rodebaugh reigned as king and queen of this prom with Emi- lie Niemeier and Ben Stubbe as their attendants. 1958 P fx I?'vs. R dh l'0m Wan I Nwavwf' mm-gi-1-:mf-mn1 .ve 2 2 .

The pictures of our individual classes were taken outside the door of our class room on the new stairs. Next year the group will be separated. The eighth and sixth grades will be combined and the seventh grade will be in a room alone. This year the main outside interest of our group was in basketball. The cheerleaders spent much time practicing yells to help support their excellent team. Because of our representation in student council we shared in the high school's activities such as the magazine sale, the parties, the school picnic, etc. We were also active in the school band. On May 14 we gave a special party in honor of Mr. Gore's birthday. All in all we've had a swell time and we especially enjoyed our new room. We eighth graders are anxiously awaiting fall and high school! 4o9Q a'90'9 B EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERS President-Diana Boeke Vice President-Ardeth Drew Secretary-Treasurer-Eldon Kent Student Council-Linda Hastings SEVENTH GRADE OFFICERS President-Nancy Krebs Vice President-Connie Lutz Secretary-Treasurer-Paul Fahr Student Council-Jean Crouse evenfh Grade P 3. 11 1 G 0 I' 6 QP' ov sy sgqfscv 99,650 90 Q0 A5565 A004304 QP 5 ey 1?

They were conference champs with nine wins and only one defeat. In the Grade School Basketball Tournament held at Pearl City, Winslow beat Durand the first night. Then they played Dakota and were defeated. There were 26 fouls called against Winslow in this game, as four of the starting five fouled out of the game. The next game was played for third place between Winslow and Pearl Cityg Winslow won. The baseball season was not as successful as the basketball season, for Winslow didn't win a game this year.

Members of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade music class were co-authors, with Miss Barnes, of their spring play, Eighty Minutes Around the West. Major members of the cast were from the upper grades, and boys outside of the music class were drafted for partners in the square dances. First and Second grades made a colorful sight in their skin-tight Indian outfits, bedecked with feathers and jangling bells. Through song and dance they demonstrated the activities of the young Indian children in their schools. Third and fourth grades performed in an Indian rhythm band and then went wild with songs and dances. The war whoops of the Cheyennes, dressed in little more than breechclout and a feather, were quite hair-raising. Four of the girls performed the solemn Squaw dance.
