V THE 1953 MIRROR Presented by the Students of befool LOVINGTON, ILLINOIS )k TQCcntGXCf . . . Through these halls, We still can feel— You walking beside us; Your gentle appeal. We can still see your eyes, And heart-warming smiles, You’re with us each day; There are no parting miles. In each of our hearts, There is a promise so true— We’ll meet again, John, And be forever with you. Rosie Rainey n 73res pm £clit n Tfote It is with the highest esteem that we dedicate this year book to a beloved schoolmate who lost his life prior to the beginning of this school year. It has been our aim to include each class and organization so that in the future this book will bring you many happy memories of the days which you spent at L. H. S. I wish to thank the staff, the advisor, and all those who helped make our year book a success. CAROLE NOLAND, Editor Editor CAROLE NOLAND Assistant Editor..

ROMEO WILLOUGHBY Attracted to sports and farming too, Also to a girl named Amy Lou. Seti i late 'rtyi t uf The time has come at last for our class of sixteen to depart from wonderful L. H. S. Before we leave, we should like to look back into the last four1 years of our lives here. It is hard to believe that our Senior year has passed so swiftly. We started by electing our class officers; Bob Stillens—president; Lynn Wil- liams—vice president; Ruth Newlan- Sec't-treasurer; Marjorie Fleischauer—reporter Our school functions for the past year include our sponsoring the Halloween party and the performance of the Senior class play, It’s Never Too Late.” The cast included Lynn Williams, Marjorie Fleischauer, Ruth Newlan. Bob Stillens, Patsy Thomas, Barbara Hill, Ronnie McCoy. Leland Wright, and Louanne Ostrowsky. Our king and queen candidates for homecoming were Lynn Williams and Lou- anne Ostrowsky. Lynn won the king’s crown. The Seniors were represented in the cheerleading squad by Louanne Ostrowsky. a new arrival this year. As we look back into the crystal ball to our Junior year, we see sixteen jolly students preparing for a difficult year featuring the Junior play A Poor Married Man,” which was a huge success, and the Junior-Senior Prom which took place on ''Treasure Island.” Roaming further back into the past we find our greatest loss of students was during our sophomore year. They were Ralph Townley, Lavon Fair, Rick Turner. Mary Lou Price. Gerald Noland, and Marilyn Henneberry. A faint picture seeps into mind of our freshman year when we embarked on a new career as strange then as the one which we face is now. Reluctantly, yet eager- ly, we leave our position to the juniors in order that we may prove ourselves worthy of L. H. S. tycation ‘TtiAtvuf Just two short years ago we were freshmen, a lowly specimen sometimes called “greenies.” We elected as our officers—Glenn Woodard, President and Carole Ann Noland, Vice-President. We had a queen candidate in the Homecoming, Rosie Rainey. One year gone and here we are “silly sophomores” already. To some of us it seemed almost a miracle. We elected as officers that year—Dolores Friesner, Presi- dent and Marty Smith, Vice-President. Our queen candidate for the Homecoming was Dolores Friesner. It seemed only a short time until the school doors were opened again and we were Big Wheel Juniors, upperclassmen DeLuxe. To start things off, we elected Junior Miller, President and Barbara Hagen, Vice-President. This was our big year, having the Junior-Senior Prom in the spring and the Junior Class Play in the fall. Our Junior Play was held November 14, 1952. The cast was as follows: Karen Odell...............Mrs. Maxwell Glenn Woodard...............Mr. Maxwell Dolores Friesner.............Aunt Mary Betty Bailey...............Gladys Gooch Rosie Rainey............Connie Maxwell George Foster...........Wilbur Maxwell Viola Oyer..............Bernadine Smith Marty Smith................Dr. Jeffrey Gooch Carole Noland......Betty Lou Maxwell Junior Miller...........Hercules Nelson Ronnie Murphy..........“Brains” Burke David Goodrich............Badge Burns Dean Newberry..............A Policeman The profits went for expenses on the Junior-Senior Prom. We also had a float and a queen candidate this year, Viola Oyer. Viola won the title of Homecoming Queen. Our float also received much favorable comment. As juniors, we shouldered the responsibility of financing and organizing the Prom. It was held on Friday, April 17, 1953. Our theme was “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” We hope everyone enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun our first three years in high school, and most of us are looking forward to our last year, as seniors. Row 1—Junior Miller, Barbara Hagen. row 2—Betty Bailey, Hubert Davis, Joan Borders, Duane Eckel, Dolores Friesner. Row 3—George Foster, Frances Marler, David Goodrich, Sally Matteson, Francis Hamed. Row 4—Carole Noland, Frank Meadows, Karen Odell, Ronnie Murphy, Viola Oyer. Row 5—Marty Smith, Shirley Phillips, Glen Woodard, Rosie Rainey, Janet Watkins. On August 27, 1951 thirty-six Green Freshies wandered helplessly around L. H. S. To overcome our uncertainty we elected Jim Adkins—president, Roy Hinton— vice-president, Dick Evans—secretary-treasurer, and Kenton Mattison and Sharon Foster as Student Council representatives. For our homecoming queen candidate we selected Sharon Foster to be escorted by Kenton Mattison. This year, as silly sophomores, we know a little more. To guide us we elected Jim McClard—president, Lawrence Wacaser- vice-president, Sarah Townley—secre- tary-treasurer, and Shirley McCoy reporter. For Student Council representatives we elected Barbara Harlin and Lawrence Wacaser. This year we were nicely represented in school activities. Dick Evans and Mary Enloe were elected as homecoming king and queen candidates. Sharon Foster repre- sents us as a cheerleader for the different sport activities. Early in the football season, the sophomores had a little bad luck come their way. Everyone worked hard on the stand for the football game with Bethany. The joy of a fair beginning to a class treasury was short lived, however, when someone robbed the safe taking not only the sophomores' money but proceeds from the game the same night. In the middle of November, under the encouragement of our advisors, Mr. Cor- gan and Mrs. Vaughn, we picked up com to restore our loss and get in the money making bracket once again. We also sponsored the Thanksgiving dance later the same month. We are eagerly looking forward to our last two years in L. H. S. and know they will be as much fun as our first two years have been. 1st Row—J. McClard, S. Townley, L. Wacaser, S. McCoy, R. Kruger. 2nd Row—R. H. Hinton, J. Green, R. Adcock, M. Haraed, C.

There were thirty-three of us newcomers the upperclassmen called “green” Freshman. We thought high school would be a snap because we had always had eight subjects before, and now we were only going to have four. Soon we found that there were many activities in which we might take part, and we were faced with the old problem of finding time for everything we wanted to do. We elected the following officers: President .......................................Donna Schuetz Vice-President....................................Danny Fread Secretary-Treasurer..............................Jackie Dahm Reporter...........................................Gene Pryor Student Council...............Danny Fread and Jeanett Weakly To our delight and surprise, the float we entered in the Homecoming parade won first prize.

CLASS OF ’53 Student Council Two Student Council members are elected to represent each class in this student advisory group. The council is relatively new, this being the second year it has operated. A steady income is assured from the sale of soda from the machine in- stalled this year. The Student Council presented to the school a large coffee urn to be used for any school occasion. Also presented were a new flag for the auditorium and a three-speed record-player to be used by all organizations for dances. Officers this year were Chairman—Lynn Williams; Treasurer—Karen Odell; Re- porter—Ronnie McCoy.

Z ratnatccd (?lu President.................Wayne Bolsen Vice-President............Viola Oyer Reporter...............Rosie Rainey Sec't-Treas...........Sally Matteson Advisor.......................Miss Nutt The purpose of the Dramatics Club is to stimulate interest in dramatics. Through this organization students are given an opportunity to practice various phases of dramatic art such as acting, directing, make-up, and stage craft. We presented a one-act play for the student body at Christmas entitled All is Calm” by Donald Payton. Our main project, however, was the presentation of five one-act plays at a “Play Night” held this spring. This was our only money-making operation. These plays had student directors and the make-up was largely planned by the students. Although our club is comparatively small this year, we feel that we have been able to reach our goal through everyone’s co-operation. Top Row—B. Stillens, R. Murphy, D. Carter, W. Bolsen, M.

Mr. Robley The Hobby Club, though organized only a few years ago, is one of the most active organizations in school. The chief purpose of the club is to take some of the students’ leisure time and create interests and hobbies. The requirements of a member are that he must have a “C” or better average and pay his dues of fifty cents a semester, which are used in prizes in the different exhibits. The club meets twice a month in the science room to discuss any business matters that arise and also to work on their projects. Again this year, the money making project of the club is selling popcorn at all the football and basketball games. The Lions Club gave us their machine this year which has proved very useful. It is a much better machine than our other one was. being larger and more efficient. This year is the first year we had the privilege of joining any larger organiza- tions. We unanimously voted to join the Junior Academy of Science and the National Science Club of America. Belonging to these organizations is helpful to inform the Club of what other Hobby Clubs in the United States are accomplishing and will in- spire us to get more out of our club. Various hobbies of the members this year are collections such as buttons, crocheting, horses, embroidery, match collections, photography, salt and pepper shakers, miniature vases, cartoon drawings, beads, dolls, bridge tallies.

A. has 22 members this year. It has a business meeting once a month and it meets two nights a week after school for activity. Some of the things we play are soccer, touch-football, volleyball, and softball. The new members this year were initiated on October 16. That night we had a hamburger fry at the high school fireplace. Our annual magazine drive was held from October 24 to November 7. The high salesman was Marilyn Landgrebe, who received an Elgin watch for selling $200 worth of magazines. Jackie Dahm sold $100, receiving a Parker 51 pen and pencil set. Karen Odell and Sally Matteson each sold $50 winning Parker 51 pens. The annual Mother and Daughter Banquet” will be held in the spring. The ones that will receive awards are Betty Bailey, Phyllis Butler, Sharon Foster, Marilyn Land- grebe, Sally Matteson, Carole Noland, Patty Phelps, Dolores Friesner, Barbara Hill, Karen Odell, Viola Oyer, and Patsy Thomas. We were invited to a Playday on April 25, held at Shelbyville, Illinois. The G. A. A. will go for a three day camping trip in the Summer.

Chapter Mother Chapter Advisor Rosemary Rainey Ruth Newlan Carole No'and .........Viola Oyer Shirley McCoy .....Frances Marler Mrs. Jasper Rainey Mrs. John Foley The Lovington Chapter of F. H. A. has been active in many ways this y a . The club meetings are devoted to business and, when time permits, some form of enter- tainment. The activities and projects of the chapter were varied this year; beginning with the F. H. A. - F. F. A. Wiener Roast and Scavenger Hunt soon after school opened in the fall. Initiation of new members was held at the chapter Mother’s home. At the Homecoming, the F. H. A. float in the parade won third prize. Some of the girls of the chapter decorated the goal posts for the big game. The ali-school Valentine Party was sponsored by the chapter, but our Mothers' Tea was the Highlight of our social affairs. As projects for the year, the F. H. A. girls sold homemade candy at the basket- ball games, did “baby sitting” for the parents who attended adult classes, had a cooking-school co-sponsored with Glancy Bros., an assembly program on United Nations Day and will send a delegate to leadership training camp this summer. F. H. A. is a state and national organization and the local chapter has par- ticipated in section activities. Some Lovington girls attended the Section 14, Sweet- heart Ball, the local officers attended the section officers’ training meeting in Charleston, and many of the members attended the Spring Rally at Shelbyville.

'putune pcvuHcru s4 tvuM The Lovington Chapter of Future Farmers of America was made up of 18 members when school started last fall. Two members dropped from the Chapter. We sponsored a party with the F. H. A. with each club furnishing half of the expenses The Chapter sent the officers to Leadership Training School this fall. They were taught much better club discipline and activities. On December 22 we sponsored an all school Christmas Dance with music by Gordon Mitchell’s Band. The dance was well attended and was very much enjoyed by all. Our Chapter also decorated a Christ- mas tree for the hall which is an annual project of the F. F. A. We are to have a paper drive early in the spring, the profits of which will go to the F. F. A. treasury. At the present time the members are starting plans for a Chicago trip for sometime in the near future. Our officers for the 1952-1953 school year are as follows. President .....

The uniforms, though two years old, looked as new and neat as ever and we were very proud to march and perform in them. The band, as usual, led the homecoming parade through town, playing as they marched. The Concert Band gave a Christmas Concert on December 18 to begin its season of concerts. The next concert was held on Sunday, February 22 with the Spring concert following soon afterward. Seven members of our band were invited to participate in the Moultrie-Shelby Band Festival, which was held at Shelbyville this year. The band went to Maroa to March with their band at the half of the football game between Lovington and Maroa. The band also attended the Moweaqua Centennial along with many other bands, in- cluding the large Normal State Band. Entering the District Contests were Nancy Bicknell and the trumpet quartet which received excellent ratings; receiving superior ratings were Viola Oyer, Patsy Thomas, Carole Noland, and the brass sextet. Patsy Thomas, Donald Oyer, Rosie Rainey, Janet Watkins, Phyllis Butler, and Barbara Harlin, members of the sextet, were selected to participate in the state contest. Although the band was rather small in size, it was not hindered from making fine performances and setting a good example for the succeeding year. The band was quite successful this year, under the baton on Mr. James Brewster. Front—Fern Newberry, Mary Enloe, Freda Keeling.

All of us wish them the best of luck. The Mixed Chorus, comprised of the Girls’ and Boys’ choruses has 58 members. Although they were unable to go to the contest, they have done well in their programs this year. Their accompanist Janet Watkins, is an outstanding piano soloist. Janet has won first ratings Ln piano in contests for the past four years. Front—S. Phillips, O. Dyer, F. Marler, F. Newberry, D. Eckel, J. Borders, M. Bright- man, J. Weakly, B. Bailey, C.

SeKun (plate 'Prafi ecy The year is 1963. We are in the thriving youth center of Lovington, Illinois which is owned, operated, and financed by Mr. Tom Peiffer. He has done remarkable work with the center, but part of the credit should go to his life-long secretary, Miss Helen Marie Penn. As a reward for their untiring and faithful years of service to the Peiffer Youth Center, they made a trip to Pusan, Korea to attend the 1963 Olympics. On February 32, they sailed from Ellis Island on the “Louanne , the swankiest ship in the McCoy fleet. After boarding the “Louanne” they left their bags in their state rooms and headed for the dining room. Upon entering and being seated, they encountered Marjorie Fleischauer, one of the chief waitresses. They were so surprised to seel her they had her relate to them what she knew of the class of '53. Marjorie told them the liner on which they were riding was named after Louanne Ostrowsky (as you remember her). Marjorie also told them about the booming chain business owned and operated by Patsy Thomas. The name of this great FIRM is the Thomas Levi Manufacturing Co.” which turns out all the jeans and levis sold in the U.S. and Canada. After ordering, the lights dimmed and the floor show began. Who should they see but Bob Newberry and his famous Dancing Acts. Bob has 30 girls in his crew and is getting along nicely. Next on the program was the well-known actress, Ruth Newlan, known as the Queen of the Fairs. World Fair, State Fair, County Fair, and Lonnie Fair. Last on the program was the act that few people have ever seen before; Dale Jones and his sensational Chinese Yodeling Act. After the program Mr. Peiffer walked over to the drug counter to secure an aspirin, for the trip was giving him a slight headache. Who should he meet but Byron Grant. Mr. Peiffer and Bud had quite a long chat. Bud had become famous with his cartoon creation Bubbling, Babbling Betty”. Bud told them that they would soon be docking at one of the Virgin Islands to refuel with Standard Gasoline. The gas sta- tion as well as all other gas stations on the island were owned by Ronald McCoy. Ronnie has made quite a success of himself with his gas business and doon hopes to start a few mechanic stations over these islands. After refueling, they headed on for the Olympics. Miss Penn grew tired and decided she would go to the Ladies Lounge to refresh herself and who should she run into but Gracie Engram. Believe it or not. Gracie hasn’t changed a bit in her ten years away from L.T.H.S. except her name. After questioning Gracie, they found that she has had a tiresome yet happy time caring for her FOSTER children. After relating this account to Mr. Peiffer, they continued upon their way to the Olympics. They docked at Pusan around 9 o’clock Friday morning. After leaving the ship and bidding all their friends farewell, they continued to Willoughby Stadium, which was named after Floyd Willoughby, Korea’s leading lawyer, who took up the law business shortly after marrying his present wife. They noticed the fine construction work and lumber which had been used in the magnificent structure, and upon inquiring learned that the Famous Robert Lee Stillens had done this masterpiece. They proceeded to their seats to enjoy the Olympic games they had wondered about for so long. The first scheduled event was the presentation of the Medal of Honor award by President Lynn Williams, who won last year’s election by a safe margin of six elec- torial votes. The award was given Deane Wacaser for his gallant service in Iceland. After the presentation the Olympics were on their way. The second event was the Ladies' swimming and diving contest, and of course, they were thrilled to see Barbara Hill achieve the Championship medal. Barbara was very well-known, even in Pusan because of her gigantic swim up the Niagara Falls in New York. One of the main events during the afternoon was Wayne Bolsen competing in the stock car races in which he was driving what used to be a Chevy. His souped-up Plymouth was suffering from a heat stroke to which Wayne blamed his defeat. He had crossed the finish line in second place instead of his usual first. He still thinks that a Plymouth means a victory as far as racing is concerned. The final event of this unforgettable day was Leland Wright competing in the He Can Do Anything Better Than You” contest. Following the presentation of awards at the Olympics. They boarded the Louanne” and headed back to the U. S. and Peiffer’s Youth Center. They had many experiences to tell to their well wishing friends at home. The Panthers had a dismal season, winning only two of nine games. One of the victories was very important for it kept alive a record of 16 Homecoming games without a tie or loss. The future ap- pears bright for there were four freshman lettermen with many others showing good promise. etteimeK fan 1952 Deane Wacaser Floyd Willoughby, Co-Capt.

Intramurals is an organization to promote good sportsmanship and to stimulate interest in athletics within the school. Intramurals had its start last year under the supervision of Mr. Peiffer and was continued again this year. The following activities took place in the noon hour program: touch football, soccer, volleyball, basketball and softball. The program consisted of three girls teams (Captain Carole Noland's Fireballs, Captain Dolores Friesner’s Trotter's, and Captain Viola Oyer’s Hot Tamales) and four boys teams (Coach Glenn Woodard’s Cavaliers, Coach Ronnie Murphy’s Musketeers, Coach Lynn Williams Crusaders, and Coach Ronnie McCoy’s Knights). The gills played on Mondays and Wednesdays and the boys on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Top honors in individual scoring go to the following: Some events sponsored by the Intramurals this year included the Girls and Boys All-Star Teams, selected by the students, to play the faculty teams. Awards were presented to the Committee, to the winning teams both boys and girls, and to the referee providing the greatest amount of service.
