Josten's came to take our ring sizes and to show us the rings We had a hard time choosing the right one because there were so many from which to select In the month of May, we gave our Junior Senior Banquet and Prom Our theme was 'Western' The saphanore girls wore Jeans and plaid blouses while they served the meal in the study hall The gym was decorated with western Our class decorated the gym for the commencement exercises for the seniors The class sponsored an ice cream social the third week in July We had a large attendance, and there was enough food for everyone to thoroughly enjoy themselves The coming year of 1953 54 was what we had been waiting for Qur class now nunbered sixteen for Charles Hanson had transferred from Brighton, Iowa The class then elected Susie Melton, President, Harold Kinney, Vice-President, Shirley Downes, Secretary, Kenneth Phillips, Treasurer, Lorraine Martin, Be porter: Rondal Mcvey, Student Council Representative Mr, Keithley was e lected for the third time to be our advisor for the last year at L Y C ILS On September 28, 1953 four carloads of seniors started for Davenport to have senior pictures taken After they were taken, we visited different points of interest in Rock Island Remember what fun we had on the elevator? After the proofs came back, some of them wished they had.n't arrived Christmas card selling and Valley Conference advertising came about the same time Each member helped in selling both. Rondal vcvey was chosen 'All Star Football Player' in the Valley Con ference and Shirley Downes became the D A B.

Across the waters in the Hawaiian Islands, Lorraine Martin Biddle, now Queen of the Hula Hula Girls, dances under the palm trees As Howard and the natives sit and strm their guitars, they are fascinated by Lorralne's rhythm Barefoot- ed, wearing a Sloppy Jo blouse and blue Jeans, she has introduced a number that is a cross between the native dance of the islands and Swing Your Partner and All Promenade Phillips Perrin, Incorporated, has been a most successful business ven ture in every way One day, in a fit of desperation, Barbara concocted a solu- tion which she later patented under the name of Lanolin-Minus, guaranteed to take the kinks out of anything Her scientifically-minded husband, Kenneth, in vented a delicate instrument which, when placed on the adenolds, will tell nineteen - .She I I 77-wpdecq whether you have corns or are just in love Their union is blessed with three little dunpllngs A year or two after graduation, Dylls Davies went to New York City where she established a Haven for Bachelors, 4 lecging house for eligible young men under thirty After five years she concluded that it wasn't worth the effort, and decided to become an old man's darling She sits ln her penthouse on Fifth Avenue longing for the good old days back in high school when she let sane op- portunities slip through her fingers Susie and Dick are still going steady With four busy years in college and a position as head dieteticlan at the Mexico City Research Hospital, Susie has never had time to learn to sw that monosyllable that would cheer the would be bridegroom Personally, I fear for that romance although it has endured a these years, for Susie has become gaunt and haggard in her attempt to reach her goal, e. size nine figure, and Betty Spence lives next door to Dick After eight years of strenuous study and practice, Harold Kinney ls being billed as the top ballet dancer of our times His dancing partner? Why, Mary of Monmouth Really, I'n not too surprised, although Harold's fancy did wander now and then, he was always a 'Mary-man' at heart Martha Lee has made e. career out of her natural ability to find out what is going on, She has founded the Lee Detective Bureau in Washington, D C When business is slack, Martha can usually be found on the lap of one of the big brass over at the Pentagon, making hay while the sun still shines William Biddle, B A , M A , Ph.D , now Superintendent of the Little York morning he can be seen ambllng to school on the back of his mule, Old Faithful frm one o' clock to two finds him taking a siesta at three he leaves for his Boy Scout meeting, and then off to his country estate and quiet evening among his beloved books Yes, he's grown paunchy and forty1sh , but he is content Lucille Gavin, the Belle of the Ball in 1955, Mies Little York of 1956, the Glamour Girl of 1957, Miss Illinois of 1958, Miss America of 1959, Miss Universe of 1960 has completely dropped out of sight Rumor has it that she wanders from place to place, searching, always searching Since Billy Biddle, on that fate ful Oanmencement in 1954, renounced women henceforth and forever, Lucille has found all her honors an empty pleasure Surely, surely , she thinks, 'there must be another Billy somewhere in the world' and so goes on searching, searching All of a sudden the flowers seemed to 'be having an argument The red tulip was of the opinion that Charles Hanson owns a successful undertaking 'business at Brighton, Iowa, the spirea was positive that he is a missionary in darlnsst Africa the daffodil reported that he is living in Skunk Hollow with his first love, Sylvia, but the yellow rose had the most up to-date infomation Charles has neglected his business enterprises, and deserted Sylvia to become a Yankee fan he follows Marilyn lonore And so the flowers had accounted for the first ten years I wandered slowly down the garden path and closed the garden gate twenty . ll Unit Schools, ls a familiar figure on.the streets of his heme town.

Two members of the Class of 1953 were State Farmers Bob Darrah in 1953 and Dick Clark in 1952 This is the highest award which can be received in the State Association and is an award worthy of a great deal of merit and pride Two honorary members were named to our growing list of Gilbert Franklin, Keith Parry, Dr A A Hardinfdeceasedl, J L Hamilton, R. N Garth, Paul Luckenbill, R. L Brownlee, C L Chamberlin, Don Wilson and Dean Keithley Named in 1953 were Howard Reynolds and H 1' Dossey These awards are based on contributions and help to the chapter Other awards Best shop project-Andy Olson, Best farming program Dick Clark Most outstanding member Dick Clark Scholarship Dick Clark, Sow testing Swine production Dick Clark Bob Dar:-ah, through a fine dairy program, was judged to be the best dairy member in Section 4, comprised of the counties of Knox, Warren, Henderson, and part of Mercer Congratulations to all these boys! A chapter is never made up of all ccmpletely outstanding members There have to be others who because of finances, facilities and other personal reasons are carrying out their programs to the best of their abilities Included in the other accomplishments of the past year was the production of 138,920 pounds of pork from 997 head of hogs owned by 17 of the members Ten boys also produced 11,016 pounds of beef from 30 head of cattle Three boys had 16 head of dairy stock which shows a trend, we hope, toward more dairy projects Four boys pro duced 162 pounds of wool and 983 pounds of mutton from 41 head of sheep And seven other persons produced 2122 bushels of corn fran 02-kacres Total earn ings were 314,154 82, an average of S544 42 per boy, In addition, as a chapter project we produced 85 5 bushels of corn per acre on a sf acre plot Taking part in soil conservation programs, producing food, developing leadership and the other objectives of the F F A are only parts of the total program In between we had some classes and did some shop work, but the total program is best illustrated by these words of the l' I' A motto Learning to do Doing to learn, Earning to live Living to serve ff 1511?

This year the theme for our handbook andprograms throughout the year has been based on the theme, 'F H A Goes Spinning . To follow this theme our handbooks are designed as a phonograph record using the F H A. colors of red and white. These books are to serve as a guide for each member during the meetings and whenever that member is appomnted to work on any particular cm mittee. During the year we have had one business meeting and one group party each month In October we had installation of the officers and a tea for the mot- hers following this event In November F H A week, a national project, was that week This year we also had a combined F H A. and F F A. evening party during February with refreshments served at the close of a social time. Nine new members were initiated into our group this year following e. day of no makeup and wearing aprons. An evening meeting was held this initiation day with a formal initiation of the new members by the officers Following this the new members were given stunts which they were compelled to do be- fore the group, Some had a hard time deciding just how to perfom their stunt but somehow they managed to live through the ordeall Our two largest money making schemes for the year were the bake sale and a square dance The money from the P two events will be used to psy the ex nenses of one of our members to go to the F H A. leadership camp which is held in the summer for those F H A. members who selected by their organizations as the most interested, dependable, and energetic F H A. workers. Last year Dylis Davies, our present President, was sent by our organization. To close our F H A. activities this year a group picnic will be held. Through the constant supervision of our present advisor, Kiss Woolley, we feel that this year has been one of our most successful ones and we are anticipa ting an even better organization next year by the support of the 1' H A. creed CREED We are the Future Homemakers of America We face the future with warm courage and high hopes. For we have the clear consciousness Of seeking old and precious values. For we are the builders of homes. Hanes for America's future. Homes where living will be expression of everything that is good and fair. Homes where truth and love and security and faith will be realities, not dreams. We are the Future Homemakers of America.

On a cold, clear day strange sounds might be detected emanating fran the far northwest room of the second floor of Little York High School If one were to make a closer inspection it might be determined that this would be the Little York Band in a practice session This group started out the year under the direction of Mrs. Martha fBrownJ Allen who resigned on Feb ruary 1 To fill out her term the services of Mrs Vera Rathcamp were se cured Ordinarily changing teachers in this manner would not be good for an organization however if there was any change in the quality of the band music, it certainly was not for the worse At the beginning of the year the group met and elected the following as its officers President, Ruth Burns Vice President, Bob Free Secret- ary Treasurer, Lucille Gavin Reporter, Shirley Luckenbill Student Council Representative, Shirley Downes, This group serves to assist the instruct- or and take care of certain business matters pertaining to the band. Little York High School and Grade School are fortu.ate in securing the services of such qualified instructors on a full time basis The progress of any organization depends on the leadership of that organization and the desire of the members to learn and advance 'With increased emphasis on music as a part of the school program has come a steady but certain improve ment in the various phases of the music department The band, without any doubt, has sounded better and performed more surely than at any time in the past With more experience and sureness in their own ab1lity the members of the band can certainly look forward to a better band in the future. forty six DIRECTORS: Mrs, Allen, Mrs. Rathcamp, X 1ST ROW Mrs, Allen, Louise Bollinger, Martha.

Much of the success of the past foot ball and basketball seasons is due in large part to these cheerleaders. 'M tn fifty-seven ?oatla!!S Q ... 3 s FRONT ROI!

One of the costliest improvements of a school s stem is involved in the heating system With the addition of two more rooms the old s stem be came inadequate A large part of the summer was spent in removing the old furnace and installing a new, bigger furnace and boiler with a bin fed auger This required a new ch1mnev which was built on the outside of the building The value of the new heating syste is shown by the increased comfort throughout the classro ms and the gym, All those who sat through a game or some other event during cold weather certainly appreciated this new improvement Other improvements new buzzer system, fluorescent lights in all rooms, new outside gym doors, repair of the roof and gutters, rewiring of the e lectrlcal system with switches and outlets located in more convenient places all have combined to give the building a new look. As time goes on and re sources permit, more changes will be made The faculty, students and pat- rons of the com unity should feel honored that such e landmark can still serve as a center for training and development of its youngsters, sixty-seven I idated district already causing larger classes in the lower grades the SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE 1ST RU!!

We have done such things as decorate the recreation room which is much more attractive after our efforts. Then some of the students sold seeds as a way of making more money They re ceived a nice profit from this Our school has again this year, printed the 'Little Yorker' which is the school paper. The school has formed a Safety Club that is for all the students and we all hope this club has very good results and teaches the students how to observe safety rules and signs. We had our annual carnival last fall and we think that everyone enjoyed it very much We h.d a popularity contest and had candidates from each room The winners of this contest were Jim Arnold and Linda Watson, from the fifth and sixth grade room This carnival gave us a very neat sum of money, I'm sure that we all feel that the Little York Jets compiled the same foot- ball record as the 1953 season team Two wins and one loss. Beating Kirkwood 6-0 and Lencv 12-6 and losing their first game to Kirkwood 7 6 gave the young grade school team valuable experience for later on In basketball the team has compiled a 5 von and 5 loss record Included in this record are 2 losses in the Little York Invitational to Joy and Keithsburg. A young team though inexperienced, they have steadily improved and should fin ish the season strong, seventy Jon Danna, Mary Ann Farwell, Lynn Mason, Mrs. Whiteman. and CLABINETS: N Guilinger, K Luckenbill, J McK8lvie,B Reifimana S Stevens.

DIRECTOR Mrs. Rathcemp GUITAR 31112011 CTW KKQQWD The daily routine of regular school activities is broken each day by the arrival of the music teacher from the high school to give individual help or to have a practice session with the band The grade school band has emerged this year as a smoothpvorklng unit in its own right With a little more experience this group will be hard to beat. To bear out the fact that sox e of the members have made outstanding progress the following are listed as the results of the music contest at Peoria on March 20, 1954 the band received a III rating Courtney Munson received a I rating on trombone and qualified to go to the state contest Nancy Guillnger, Judy Mclelvie, and Karen Luclsenbill received II place ratings on their clarinete Linda Barr and Sharon Rhoden received II rat- ings on saxonhones. This band was the smallest band unit to appear at the contest held in Peoria and probably the least experienced as they had been practicing to gether as a unit for only one month Undoubtedly the nmber of medals won by members of this band indicates a superior type of ability Congratu- lations to these boys and girls, and may the people of this community real ize there is more talent here than has ever been realized. 2 7 5 W 5111! gen!
