The combination of work, understanding, and fun that makes a person stick with his act results in a finished product that all Amer- ica enjoys . . . the circus. Through the cooperative spirit between our teachers and students, we, too, have experienced this same feeling of unity. We, the staff, bring to you a re- sume of school activities for 1954- 55. Between these bright covers, the many phases of student life have been captured and reproduced. 1 I I s cCmutiAfoati t i C l44e4- A X. . , .A, s , ' %2K A s« f 6 u . .

It is for hard work, understanding, and patience that we offer our hum- ble appreciation as we dedicate this 1955 AMULET in honor of Miss Lo- rene Morgan. When things seemed to he going wrong, Miss Morgan’s en- couragement and cheery laugh seemed to start things in the right direction. It is mainly through her efforts that Limestone has had a fine yearbook or- ganized during its first two years. 4 When we step forth to take our place in society it should he with a full understanding of our responsibilities toward that society. We must he pre- pared to help in social, family, and citizenship problems. Our rapidly expanding civilization with all its technological advances has increased the complexity of our situation. It is only by intelligent ap- plication of our background of knowledge that we can hope to continue to advance and thrive under such conditions. It is hoped that your time spent at Limestone has been and will be, not only the most pleasant time of your lives, but will serve to give you the background for continued advancement in whatever field you may choose as well as the title.

Naturally, the Prom, given in their honor, was a formal affair. End-of-year activities became numerous with class picnic. Baccalaureate, and Com- mencement Exercises.

Their activities began with the production of the class play “Cheaper by the Dozen in November. Soon after their Valentine Dance, plans were formulated for the Junior-Senior Prom. Everyone worked especially hard to make it a tremendous success. The class was very proud to have a mem- ber elected as Student Council President. This was a fitting climax to an eventful year as juniors. There had been a slow growth of assur- ance, and unity, and they looked forward to the next notch on the ladder. MR.

The first week or so they were rather fright- ened about such a new and exciting under- taking, and thought it would he difficult to learn the ropes. However, after initiation, they fell into the routine of a busy schedule. With a freshman mixer early in the school year, came the pleasure of belonging. Repre- sentatives were elected to Student Council and class officers were chosen. Soon they were looking forward to another year for improve- ment upon their accomplishments for a happy first year.

Meetings were held bi-monthly with various guest speakers supplying information about the teaching profession. One of the outstanding activities of the club was a party held at Bradley by ISNU alumni. First row: Sandlin. Price, Lauterbach, Powell, Hayes, Wipperman. Second row: Clark, Mauerman, Pittman, Gilmore, Kneer, Miss Kissinger. Third row: Kawolsky, Montcrastelli, Liescke, Perino, C. Horn, Sharp, Hasten. Fourth row: Scibold, B. Horn, Helmick, Seffer, Lane, Hoover. The Spanish Club was organized this year for all students taking Spanish or those who have completed two years. Mr. Jack Clinton, advisor, shares with the club his experiences gained in Mexico. At a Christmas Party at Manual, Spanish style enter- tainment and games were enjoyed. Hely Olivares and Ronald Ramisez from Venezuela were speakers at one of the meetings. First row: Krahn. Fletcher, Neff, S. Slane, Mr. Clinton, P. Venyak, Bitner, Handel, Jones.

OFFICERS — Horn, President; Smith, Reporter; Schick, Vice President; Lipsey, Treasurer. In order to become more familiar with ‘Operation Library’ many students have joined this club. They learn to index and catalog books, repair bindings, take care of fine slips, and file pamphlet and magazine materials. These student librarians are very helpful in locating materials for students. Two social get-togethers were planned this year: a Christmas party at Miss Rob- inson’s home and a picnic in May. The group also visited the Public Library in Peoria. First row: Smith, Lipsey, Schick, Horn, Rugg. Miss Robinson. Second row: Warren, Barth, Rich Beasley, Lane.

Under the guidance of Mr. Charles Hempstead the Projection Crew learned how to operate the audio-visual aids. They were always on call—ready to show a movie, make a recording, or play a record. Responsible for having things run off smoothly on the stage were the Stage Crew. Setting the props for plays, handling lights, and mikes were all in a day’s work for them.

Money to pay for the uniforms to be earned by candy sales, concessions, and proceeds from the annual faculty bas- ketball game. The band marched in the Red Feather Parade, performed at the Christmas pro- gram, sparked the winter pep rallies and assemblies, and presented a Spring Musicale. Much credit is due the band members and their director, Mr. William Morse. 'pre Antem Sanet First row: Thomas, Headley, Smith. Langen. Calvery, Bergman. Johnson, Wright, S. Doubct, Hauk. Lockhart.

The future holds great promise for members of both groups because the Junior Varsity Band will be equal in size and activity to the Varsity Band next year.

Coach Baldrini and his co-captains Larry Gorgas and John Walters. 7 oc£et The Rockets in their second year of com- petition against strong foes equalled their first year’s record with three wins and five losses — losses coming by close and hard fought margins. The team, under the able direction of head coach Dick Baldrini, got off to a very promising season. Our annual opening night opponent, Washington, fell vic- tim to a 20-0 romping. Next stop was the home of the Princeton Tigers. The highly regarded Princeton boys downed the Rockets in an exciting game. A week of hectic practice followed in prepara- tion for the Lakeview-Decatur game. Here in Decatur, they found an unbeaten squad, or they were undefeated until the Limestone ag- gregation arrived. Losing at half-time, the Rockets bounced back to take the game 13-12.

The Rockets found the com- petition stiff for the first year and dropped the three games. The team shows indications of being a real threat in Illini play from now on. In Clinton, on a cold wind-swept night, the Rockets were overcome in a tight game by a close margin of 13-6. The homecoming game was against Uni- versity High of Normal. The Rockets, amid all the homecoming festivities, caught fire and won the football game 34-7. The pepped- up team wanted this one especially for the townspeople. Halfback Harry Briggs was elected most valuable player by his team- mates, and Ron Fahnestock and Chuck Bine- gar took over the vacated posts of captains, left open by graduating seniors Larry Gor- gas and John Walters. Nineteen lettermen will be returning to take up the slack left by twelve graduating seniors. Hageman, Withered, Gorgas.

The freshman, frosh-soph, and junior varsity squads are to be commended for their outstanding teamwork. Pekin, Manual, Woodruff, and Central provided some of the tough competition. SEASON RECORD ROCKETS END SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN The basketball quintet ended the season with ten consecu- tive victories, compiling a record of 19 wins and 9 losses. In the Regional Tournament, they reached the semi-finals before losing to Morton. Limestone set a gym record of 93 points against first round Eureka in the tourney. Limestone again entered the Fairbury Tourney and won the championship trophy. In the Normal Tourney, they cap- tured the consolation crown. The year 1954-55 saw Limestone participating in the Greater Peoria Conference race with a 3-win and 3-loss column. A highlight of the season was the winning of the Greater Peoria Sportsmanship trophy—a tribute to the fine sports of Lime- stone. Coach Fritz Millard worked long and hard with the team to shape them into the winning outfit they were. Jack Milam and Ron Fahnestock provided the largest share of the scoring punch and Rod Witherell coupled with Milam battled for con- trol of the boards. Guards Harry Briggs and Roger Vollmer rounded out the starting five. Crowd pleasers of the year were the double victory over rival East Peoria and the defeat dealt to Peoria Woodruff.

It came from an eighth grade student as a part of a class citizenship project. HERE'S THE WAY A CATERPILLAR EXECUTIVE ANSWERED IT: To describe a good citizen in a few words is most difficult —much like try- ing to describe our great country in a few words. However, some qualifications of a good citizen certainly would be: • A fundamental belief in God. • A deep sense of honesty and integrity. • Moral character above reproach—the result of personal convictions rather than fear of public opinion. • An interest in one's community cou- pled with a willingness to work long and hard for its betterment. • A true sense of value, recognizing that there is no such thing as something for nothing. Everything we achieve, every- thing we get. must be earned. • A love of the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and a willingness to protect these freedoms. • A desire to search for and find the truth and not be swayed by the emotions of others. • A sense of duty when it comes to ex- ercising our great American privilege of voting, based on thoughtful considera- tion of the issue or office involved—and the same sense of duty when jury, mili- tary or public office responsibilities should be met. It is difficult indeed to describe citizen- ship in a few words. I hope these thoughts will be helpful. 213-215 S.

The sportsmanship displayed by the teams, cheerleaders, and fans of Limestone merited the sportsmanship trophy for the Greater Peoria area. The Rockets will keep the trophy for the coming year.

Among the social events of spring were the Senior Picnic and the much-anticipated distribution of the 1955 Amulets. 955 With baccalaureate services May 29 and com- mencement exercises June 1, the second graduat- ing class of Limestone hade their final farewell. Speaker for the graduation was the Rev. Clarence G. Hall. Receiving their diplomas were 121 mem- bers of the Class of 1955. The commencement ex- ercises were a fitting tribute to the fine work done by the class in its two years at Limestone.

This memorable occasion began with soft music by Bill Hardesty and his orchestra in the beautifully decorated gym. The lovely Parisian waitresses served punch at romantic candlelit tables on the Rue dc Paris.” After the ball was over, the festive caravan jour- neyed to the Madison Theater for a midnight show. Everyone enjoyed the movie Susan Slept Here” (those who didn't fall asleep, that is). A steak breakfast was served in the cafeteria by our hard-working parents at three o'clock in the morning. Thus ended a lovely evening and a truly happy event to record among our high school memories. M-Sckool Carnival ZMA.

LOW HURDLES 440-YARD RUN POLE VAULT BROAD JUMP 'Vanity The Limestone High cindermen faced the 1954 season with little talent on hand. Coach Dick Baldrini began immediately to build a squad of thin-clad hopefuls into a sturdy team, while keeping an eye on the future years. All the varsity dual meets were dropped, but not without a struggle from the inexperienced, underclass-laden crew. The Rockets plunged headlong into the season against a host of Greater Peoria powers. With many participants winning monograms, the squad and coaches can look forward to the coming year without a defeatist complex. Highlights of the season were perhaps the fourth place finish of the low hurdle shuttle relay team in the large Normal Relays meet, and the consistently good show- ings of Captain Dick Woolard in the low hurdles and junior Ron Oertley in the pole vault and high jump. 38�
