Lovington High School - Mirror Yearbook (Lovington, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1955 volume:

1954-55 Presented by the Students of LOVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Lovington, Illinois 'Dedicati The 1954-55 Mirror is respectfully dedicated to three people who give unfaithful service to our school. It would be impossible to run our school without our custodians, Mr. Dave Brown and Mr. Cully Lawson, and our cook, Mrs. Vivian Dickson. Without their unceasing effort our school would soon be in such a condition it would be almost im- possible to hold classes. Therefore we, the student body of Lovington High School, want to take this small means of thanking you for your services to us and our school. DEDI CflTIOn Sd m Ttotc Producing the 1954-55 MIRROR has followed true to form: Many headaches, lots of work, and a feeling of self-satisfaction on the part of the staff when the final product is completed. Working with this year’s staff and advisor, Mr. Eddie Root, has been a real pleasure. However, thank you’s are also deserved by faculty mem- bers who offered their help, their ideas and time, and for seeing that the students in their own department turned in their work on time. Without their time and effort it would have been impossible to make a year-book available to the students. Again, a personal thank-you to each of you.

Sestio (?la4A 'rtyt fouf Here it is the year of ”55” and time for the 22 Seniors to depart from L. H. S. Before they go it would be amusing to look back over the last four years. Early in the green Freshman year class officers were elected: Jim Adkins, presi- dent; Roy Hinton, Vice-President; and Dick Evans, Secretary-Treasurer. Sharon Fos- ter and Kenton Mattison were chosen as representatives to the Student Council. Mrs. Kuntz and Mr. Mason were class Sponsors. Sharon Foster was the Homecoming Queen candidate. Officers during the Sophomore year were Jim McClard, President; Sarah Townley. Secretary-Treasurer; Shirley McCoy, Reporter. Student Council members were Bar- bara Harlin and Lawrence Wacaser.

Bach student was giddy with the thought of being; an upper classman. Shirley McCoy was elected President; Jim Green, Vice-President; Freda Keeling, Secretary-Treasurer; Charlotte Jones, Reporter. LeEtta Nelson and Jim McClard represented the class in the Student council. King and Queen candidates were LeEtta Nelson and Jim McClard. Sharon Foster was again elected cheerleader. The class sponsored the play, ‘‘Crazy But Cute.” All of the profit from the year's activities went into the prom. The theme for the prom was ‘‘Big Top”. I’m sure we all had a lot of fun under the big top and some of us had fun other places that night too? Mrs. Foley and Mr. Robley were sponsors. Seniors at last! Lawrence Wacaser is President; Jim McClard, Vice-President; Mary Enloe, Secretary-Treasurer; Charlotte Jones, Reporter. Barbara Harlin and Jim McClard are the Student Council members.

The DAR award winner was Sharon Foster. Amy Lou Purvis was elected Homecoming Queen. Mrs. Foley was class sponsor. It is now time to leave with the hope the Seniors who take our place will learn more and have almost as much fun as the “good ole class’’ of ’55. flcutc yi (?lci4A 'ftycAtO'Uf Going back two years when we were first starting to high school, we elected Donna Schuetz as president; Danny Fread as Vice-President; and Jackie Dahm as Secretary-Treasurer.

We started the year off by electing class officers. They were: President, Colleen McCoy; Vice-Presi- dent, Glenn Newberry; Secretary and Treasurer, Steve Brown; Reporter, Glenda Glad- ville. (Mary Jo Davis and Ronald Pound represented our class in the Student Council. Jane Cochran represented our class as cheerleader.

Charlene Dyer and Ronald Pound represented our class in the Student Council. Jane Cochran was re-elected as our class cheerleader. Mary Jo Davis and Wayne Brown were elected as Homecoming candidates for King and Queen. We also entered a float in the parade and decorated our window at Rutger’s. With the help of Miss Falls and Mr. Root, our class sponsors, we had Jack Carson and his Rhythm Riders to come to the high school for one of our activities. We also sponsored a St. Patrick’s Day dance for our other activity. Our class was also well represented in our school sports. We have enjoyed these first two years at L. H. S. and we are looking forward to being Juniors next fall.

FRsstimsn MS' tfsrsyssvs A Sestio (?lci44 Listen my children and you shall hear For the “Senior Prophecy” is about to appear. You’ll remember it for a long, long time Because this prophecy is in rhyme. Lawrence W., strong and able, Is the hero of our fable, For he has just become president Of all this nation’s residents. Sharon Foster, the pride of the Senior class. Is such an outstanding little lass. But most of her patients end up in a hearse. She is now a world famous nurse Our farmer king, Mr. Jim Green, Has just discovered a new soybean. But one little fault he has found, He just can't grow it in the ground. Nancy B. went sailing in her motor boat And soon found out it wouldn’t float. But to her rescue came her beau Which we all know as “Mighty Moe.” Jim McClard, pro football ace, Has led his team into first place. As you can see he earns his fame By the wonderful way he iplays the game. Marilyn Land grebe is cute and neat With that figure that’s oh so sleek. She is now a famous model Settirg the styles for others to follow. Roy Hinton, who used to be such a pest d ouldri’t pass a solitary test. Has now become the chief of makers Of all the local Studebakers. Pat Phelps graduated from the senior class, Took a look in the looking glass 'rhen married a man with plenty of class Who gave her a life of great happiness. Geek Kruger, the friendly red-headed lad. Went to the Air Force and came home glad Because while there he found a wife That shall be his for the rest of his life. A person that always gigges and smiles Is the person that we call Mary Miles. She quite often feels abused And usually keeps us all amused. Richard Adcock is a very successful farmer But he must also be quite a charmer. For you know that he hasn’t tried in vain (Continued on Page 50) Student (ZottuctC Two representatives were chosen from each class at the beginning of the year to represent the student body. The following officers were elected for the student council: President—Barbara Harlin Vice-President—James McClard Secretary-Treasurer—Donna Schuetz Reporter—Dave Townley Advisor—Mr. Harden The student council chose some of the assembly programs for the coming year. Time came to vote on the proposed addition to the high school and then is when the student council really began to work. Jim McClard was appointed chairman of a committee to work and make posters to be put in all the downtown buillings. The purpose was to get all the voters to vote “yes” for the addition on April 16, 1955. Meanwhile, Mr. Harden, our advisor, had pamphlets made to give the people the facts on the pro- posed addition. After they were printed the members divided into groups, according to the classes, and covered the town completely. Although it was a lot of walking, we enjoyed getting out of school. Our work proved suc- cessful. Sitting: Mr. Harden, Barbara Harlin, Jim McClard, Donna Schuetz, Dave Townley.

Something new was added this year to the marching band which proved to be attractive. (The majorettes had lighted batons and the band members had ights on their hats. The field lights were turned off as the band would march out onto the field and perform their drills. Another highlight was that of the purchasing of a new drum major suit. We led the annual Homecoming parade through the business district and that night we went onto the field with a very good ceremony. The band attended a band concert in Decatur last fall sponsored by the Decatur Municipal Band. The concert band moved closer to concert instrumentation this year when the board purchased a bass clarinet, two alto clarinets, bassoon, oboe and three bell front altos. This increased our membership from 31 to 47. On December 23, the instrumental and vocal departments jointly presented a formal concert. This concert proved to be successful as well as the concert present- ed on April 28 when the band was in full uniform. The following members played in the Moultrie-Shelby County Band Festival held at Stewardson-Strasburg: Shirley McCoy, Phyllis Butler, Anamary Sellable, Patty Phelps, Nancy Bicknell, Colleen McCoy, Eddie Maxwell, Jim Green, Don Oyer, and Kenny Sutton. At the District Corttest Nancy Bicknell placed superior on the flute, Don Oyer placed superior on the bass, and Jim Green placed excellent on the trumpet. The band placed excellent at the District Contest with the following numbers: Music Campers”, “Ozark Dawn”, and “Kin . Nancy Bicknell placed second at the state contest and Don Oyer placed first at the state contest. a u th e President----------- Vice-President ----- Secretary-Treasurer Sharon Foster Carol Kearney Donna Schuetz This year the Hobby Club found it rather difficult to get started, due to the meet- ing time in the morning. As usual selling popcorn at football and basketball games was our only money- making projects and we made enough to treat the entire club to supper at the Farm Cafe in Decatur and a movie. Our annual Spring exhibit had thirteen exhibitors, all of which deserve great credit.

September 25th started the events off with Mrs. Marguerite Bailey and Mrs. Shirley Evans co-chaiimen of a very suc- cessful bake sale. (The net proceeds from this event were $106.63. October 2 was the date of the Slave Auction, the second money raising event. Bill Foley and his committee through their untiring efforts, made it possible to realize $156.00 from the local slaves and small gifts sent from distant alumni, Governor Stratton and Senator McCarthy. H. J. Curry and his committee so:d $45.80 worth of hot dogs, coffee, soda pop and all things typical of a football stand. This was done October 22. The night of the football game, two plays entitled, 'Teacher Kn I Go Home?” and Murder at the Class Reunion.” Immediately following the plays, alumni danced to the music of Gary Wilson. The dance was high lighted by the crowning of the King and Queen. Amy Lou Purvis, Senior candidate, was crowned Queen and Calvin Brosam Freshman candidate, was elected to reign as King. The royal couple was attended by Jackie Dahm. Mary Jo Davis, Shirley Fair Lawrence Wacaser, Dick Carter, and Wayne Brown. The end of the Homecoming activities was most successful. Reservations for 300 people were purchased and a most enjoyable time was had by those attending the banquet. The entertainment was furnished by Tami and Lei Yamamoto, going hand in hand with the lovely Hawaiian decorations.

(There were nine returning lettermen and under the direction of the new coach, Eddie Root, the boys went right to work and got in shape. With high spirits, nine lettermen back, and the boys in good shape, they went in the first game only to be set back by an experienced Assumption five. After getting some of the early season jitters out of their system, they went on to down Scottland and Arthur, only to be set back toy Maroa, Warrensburg and Niantic, all conference foes. Next came the Arthur Holiday Tournament, where Lovington downed Bethany and Oakland, then to be defeated by Cerro Gordo in the Championship game, but they were happy to bring home a second place trophy, the first trophy won by a Lov- ington tear ii in five years. After that, the team went back to regular scheduled games and Coach Root’s quintet ran up a huge score to defeat the Findlay team easily. Next came a setback by Warrensburg, still undefeated in conference play. After this setback, the Panthers breezed toy Mount Zion, racking up 100 points. Then they edged Bethany for the second time and went on to down the Lovington Alumni, At- wood and Arthur only to be set back by Bethany. Next, after playing two overtimes, the Panthers finally downed Atwood for the second time. Then came the game with Mount Zion which was hard fought all the way with the Panthers ending on top. From there, the Panthers went on to down Bement only to be set back by Maroa for loss number eight. Then the Panthers finished the regular scheduled season with ease having no trouble with Niantic or Scottland. Next came the District tournament where the Panthers downed Bethany only to be defeated by Windsor in the Champion- ship game for the Panthers’ last game of the year. Danny Fread was the winner of the Dr. Ambrose Trophy again this year. This trophy is presented to the boy with the highest free throw average for the year. Also Danny set a new high individual, single game scoring record for this school. He scored forty points in a single game. Lawrence Wacaser was voted most valuable player by his team mates and he will receive a trophy from the Country Charm Dairy Co. One of the highlights of the season was the presentation of a new modern score- board. The old one was about done for and the new one sure was welcome. The outlook for next year’s season looks good, for only two men will be lost off the squad due to graduation. The ones leaving are Center, Lawrence Wacaser; and sixth man Jim McClard, although these two will definitely be missed, the Panthers should still have a good season.

The 1955 Lovington high baseball team fielded a team for the ’55 season with 4 returning lettermen. The season wasn't too much of a success as the Panthers failed to win a game in five tries. However in defense of the team it appeared very much like the Panthers did improve with every game. With seven lettermen returning for the 1956 season it looks like the Panthers should enjoy a much better season next year. SCHEDULE Lovington Lovington Lovington Lovington Lovington vs. Mt. Zion V8.
