Our success de- pends on our ability, our effort, and our char- acter.” Just as the contractor and the architect, the carpenter and the electrician worked together to build our school structurally, so have we, the Amulet staff of 1954, offered our combined efforts to present to you a pictorial story of Limestone Community High School’s first year in existence. We have portrayed in this yearbook the major phases of student life, both formal and informal in symbolic words and photographs. May it be one you will enjoy and treasure down through the years. (?tci4 e4 ?4t6£ettc4 Oryottcyzttotui s4ctcvctce6 To express our gratitude and admiration, the Amulet Staff dedicates this, our first yearbook, to our friend and principal, Mr. L. D. Murray. This is our way of extending our deepest ap- preciation for the loyal effort he has put forth in building our school to its present standing. We realize the tremendous responsibility which he has shoul- dered in the supervision of the planning and starting of our new educational plant. We also wish to thank him for all the outstand- ing service with which he has honored us in 1953-1954. TO STUDENTS, FACULTY AND FRIENDS OF LIMESTONE HIGH SCHOOL I wish to express mine and the Board of Education's appreciation to all of you who have helped so greatly in the establishment and successful first-year operation of our new high school. Your ability to adjust to conditions which, to say the least, were difficult has been outstanding. I consider it a great honor to be able to have my picture and this message of thanks printed in this, the first yearbook of the Lime- stone Community High School.

WHITEHURST End Guard Guard Guard Bestowed upon Dick Baldrini was the vital task of molding a group of young men into a football machine that was to be ready for ac- tion in a few short weeks. At the first call for practice the players showed up knowing few among their midst. After formal intro- ductions. many dust-filled hours were spent in prepara- tion for Limestone’s first athletic venture. C. LUTHY Fullback H. VESELY Tackle J. WALTERS Tackle H. BRIGGS Halfback W. RAYMOND Tackle L BRADEN Halfback J. TURNER J- HACEMAN Line Backer End With no home field on which to play host, the Rockets entered their eight- game chart on the road. The Spalding eleven were the first to lower the axe in a rough-shod manner, 51-0. Throughout the season the Rockets were an up-and- down hall club. Keyed up for the trip to Keokuk the team found a strong outfit upon arriving and fell to the Iowans, 54-13. L. D. MURRAY Fullback R. MILAM Guard G. WILLIAMSON Halfback R. WOOLARD Fullback Hard, diligent work on the sun-baked practice fields began to pay off for the Baldrini-coached squad. Two decisive victories were picked up over Corpus Christi of Galesburg and Knoxville, with fullback Charles Luthy carrying the pigskin over the goal three times in the Corpus Christi game. EUGENE GIRE Assistant Football Coach K. BROWN R. BURDETT G. SLANE C. BINEGAR Halfback Halfback Center End East Peoria closed out the season in a tussle which was given to Limestone for their only home game. The game, being the last for eight grad- uating seniors, sported some razzle dazzle football. The Raiders emerged the victors in the scoring column, 13-6, but the Rockets more than doubled East Peoria’s yard- age. « M. LAMBIE Manager R. FAHNESTOCK Quarterback i R. MILAM End G.

V- J. MILAM 67 LAUTERBACH INGLE CATTERALL y COVINGTON BIERWIRTH H1LLIC LOCKHART te tt The 1953-54 Rocket cage season started slowly, dropping the first four tilts to the opposition. The opener with Quincy drew the first capacity crowd for the newly finished gymnasium. Highlights in the 9 and 18 sea- son were two second place finishes in the Lakeview Holiday Tournament and the Fairbury Invitational Tournament. The charges of varsity coach Fritz Millard possessed speed and agility where they lacked height. Elongated Gary Tjarks, Dale Bine- gar. and Bill Noe provided the power and prowess around the boards, and the outside shooting guards. Jack Milam and Ron Fahne- stock. put forth with the scoring punch. After capturing second place in the Fair- bury Tourney, the Rockets went on to finish the regular season with six victories out of their last nine games. In the Pekin Regional Tourney Limestone drew first round Glasford. Trying to avenge an early season loss to the Tigers, the Rockets again went down to defeat by three points. Close losses by a few points were dis- heartening for the team and coach, but the 1954-55 squad will still be intact except for the four graduating seniors. This has been Coach Millard’s first year at the helm of a high school team after taking two grade school state championships. LAKEVIEW TOURNEY The first tournament for the Rockets was the Lakeview Holiday Tourney in Lakeview. Decatur. The boys didn’t bring back the first place trophy but they got the next best thing. First round opponent, Niantic-Harrisburg, gave the Rockets quite a battle before suc- cumbing 62-58. Riverton was next up for the Rocketeers and they also fell 70-59. Going against Lime- stone in the evening of the same day was I akeview for the championship. The offen- sive patterns were bottled up and the Rockets could never get ahead in the fray. As a re- sult. we took it on the chin by 17 points. 58-41. FA I RBI RY TO I RNEY Blood pressures and tempers rose to the highest in Fairbury tourney as the Rockets captured another second place trophy. The first round competitor, Melvin-Sihley put up a gallant fight before falling in a double overtime 76-73. Sixty fouls were whistled and 42 of them were called against the Rockets. In the second game the Limestone brigade again played into an overtime to decision Piper City 70-68. Fans were on the edges of their seats in the final ninety seconds of the contest. Losing hv 5 points with a minute and one-half remaining, Charles Luthy flipped in a pair of free throws and Ron Fahnestock drove in for a basket and was fouled in the act. His toss was good to tie it up. In the overtime, captain Bill Noe's free throw put the Rockets ahead for keeps. The championship final was between the big and the little. The eventual champ. East Lynn, boasting a total of 17 boys in the entire school, took the title 81-71. ATHLETIC DIRECTORS Instilling the spirit of sportsmanship, pride, and fight into their teams, Dick Bal- drini. Gene Gire. Ed Herzog, and Fritz Mill- ard were the vital force behind our athletic programs. Here is one group both respected and well-liked by those with whom they came in contact. Our coaches are builders—build- ers of character, creators of moral integrity, preservers of good sportsmanship at L. C. H. S.

TOWARD NEW HORIZONS The Future Homemakers of America is a national organization of girls who study homemaking in junior and senior high schools. The club motto expresses the purposes of the organization. Chap- ter members think that helping to make happy homes, now and in the future, is the most important thing they can do for democracy.

An organization so active that its singing was an indispensable part of life at Limestone, the choir was hard at work from November to the first week in June putting finishing touches on music for school assemblies, dedication, baccalaureate, and graduation exercises. The choral department is made up of two basic groups: the advanced group, composed of juniors and seniors, and the beginning group, made up of underclassmen. These choirs were under the cap- able direction of Mrs. E. Krumpe. 88 The Singing Rockettes is a special group of girls chosen by Mrs. Kruinpe from the advanced choral group. These girls bring entertainment to many school and community functions. Some of their program appearances this year included the Football Banquet, Christmas Dance and the Monroe School Variety Show. The boys in this ensemble group, selected by- Mrs. Krumpe for their singing ability, represented the best in male voices at Limestone. Like the Singing Rockettes, their entertainment highlighted many school activities as well as social events in the school area. Among their favorites were “The Halls of Ivy” and “Winter Song.” 89 Front row: Hoi verson, Brainerd, Williamson, Milam, Cole, Small, Swearinger, Bealmer, Lauter- bach, Reaktenwalt, Turner, Pcrkinson, Cormerly, Mauerman.

This publication is aimed at the student level and these feature stories will appear in the maga- zine for at least two years. Considering that only one grade school in our district has a regular band, wfe take our hats off to Mr. Morse, our director, for a job well done. 'I bis year the Advanced Band performed at one basketball game, the dedication of the building, and presented a spring concert. They were active in raising funds to buy uniforms and robes for the choir. 90 “Dinectai Congrats� 8 'poot xM 'ScuKfiuet On Behalf of the Team Two Points! Five Hands Up!
