Lovington High School - Mirror Yearbook (Lovington, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1960 volume:

ms htmoi Sta JLouuujtofi tfujk School JLoouujtM, 3lima 'Tibi Won - This has been a wonderful year......this date of the edition of the 1960 Mirror of Life at L.H.S. WE DEDICATE this Mirror to die Village of Lovington . . . and to other small towns across this great land of ours where, in capable hands, are held the heritage of the past and the promise of tomorrow. Ours is a rural area. The bright yellow school buses salute the day as they pass the fertile fields with their student loads. I960 has been a year of changes and of milestones. Lovington celebrated its 110th birthday. . .(cen- tennial.) Attractive new homes have been built while some of the older ones were demolished...... Two of the churches, die Baptist and the Church of God, did some remodeling....... The Census Taker made his rounds and found a popu- lation growth...... The merchants provided street markers....... A school tragedy elsewhere resulted in better fire mo precautions that include fire doors for the halls and entrances and an additional outside fire escape. Perhaps our most vivid remembrance will be THE BIG SNOW... a winter concentrated in March. It began on the third of the month with a blinding, drift- ing snow that caused school to be dismissed before noon.. . Then there was more snow. . . and more. . . Overworked snow plows tried to keep die main high- ways open; some of the lesser traveled roads were lucky to have “tunnels’ for one way traffic. In all we missed four days of school and the buses were unable to make their routes on some other days. We were short three days of school because of the snow and, since a recent state law insists that sur- vivors make up the time lost we used one of the days of our Easter vacation. Two days were added to the end of the term. The final day of school was May 31st. Mr. Burcham digs out Mr. Allen TABLE OF CONTENTS Administration Page . . . Seniors............... Sophomores . .

A thletics TfUiWje {mm, SttfwnMdwt Of the 693 high schools in Illinois, Lovington is one of the 467 high schools that are graduating fewer than 100 sen- iors each year. This fact may cause us to question the quality of our so called “small high school educational pro- gram. However, being small, we are constantly watching with Interest studies that are being made on aspects of secondary education in the United States, and if we Flanked by Magnolias Old Main with the face of winter are unbiased we can see both strengths and weaknesses in all programs of education. In the main, regardless of Lovington high school’s size, we can defend the valid academic standards of our school and faculty. Whether our school is giving you a quality education depends on your health, your ability and desire to achieve, your attitude, the quality of your teachers, your character, the broadness of our curriculum, adequate facilities, worthy use of your leisure time, Influence from the home, diagnosis of your problems and needs, and the effectiveness of the guidance that is provided for you. The Gym There is no conclusive evidence that good small high schools are not doing their job well. Size has never guaranteed quality. Therefore, you as stu- dents are obligated to yourselves to benefit from both the curricular and co-currlcular activities that are being offered to you. Many former Lov- ington graduates have succeeded in highly special- ized and professional fields, and many more of our graduates will have successful careers await- ing them. Mr. H. P.

The sign over the door read “Marvin’s Gardens . Intrigued by the strange music coming from the establish- ment, I opened the door and entered. I found myself in what appeared to be a beatnik’s paradise. Seated at small tables all around the room were young men and women, all seemingly oblivious to what was going on around them. In one corner a small band played a weird melody. A tall man with a beard approached me at that mo- ment. He looked vaguely familiar to me, and, after mentally removing the beard, I recognized Marvin Stovall. Not even a beatnik beard and odd clothing could disguise that long, lanky frame. Marvin had been a classmate of mine twenty years ago, at Lovington High School. As 1 talked with him, I was happy to hear that he had kept in touch with his classmates over the years. He motioned toward the bandstand, and there were three of the old crowd. Blowing a cool trumpet was Jerry Day. Marvin told me that Jerry is the modern day Harry James. However he is still a bachelor, since he is looking for his own version of Betty Grable. Pounding the wild eighty-eight was Bob Long. Bob says a beatnik coffee-house is a welcome change from Carnegie Hall. Suddenly the music stopped. Out of die shadows came a familiar voice. It was Larry Allen, reading one of his many weird poems. Larry owns the company which imports the coffee for Marvin’s many coffee-houses across the country. Since Larry sells his coffee to him at a discount, Marvin permits him to try out each new poetic endeavor on the coffee-house customers. Marvin and I found an empty table in a corner and sat down to talk. When the band took a break, the others joined us. They told me what the rest of the class is doing. Bob Quick is doing a fine job preaching in a small church at the edgeofthe Sahara Desert. I always knew that boy would go places! Fred Miles is now a general in the Army. His men love him, and so does his new bride, the former Joyce Taylor. Ralph Cook was the big winner in the last Indianapolis Speedway race. Ralph said he would have lapped them again if the engine hadn't been missing. Wayne Adcock is running for the presidency of the Liar’s Club. His campaign manager and speech writer is Meredith Bolsen. Wayne figured that, with all of her ex- perience as the State F.H.A. president, she would be the perfect person for the job. Jerry Murphy is still in Texas. She wanted to live in the nation’s largest state, but she got caught in a sand- storm and missed her plane to Alaska. Bill Wagahoft is working on a new phase of electronics and television. He is now trying to perfect smell-o- vision” for television. Good luck. Bill. We always knew you’d make a big stink in the world!! Kenny Lowder has turned the college, at which he is a social studies professor, upside down by bringing a new meaning to the word “social in Social Studies. Connie Henneberry Is our first ambassador to Mars. The natives love her, and Connie is quite happy because she has her old friend, Ramona Pound, with her as an interpreter. Ramona can now speak almost every language known to mankind. I was glad to find out that Dorothy Stinson is happily married and has twelve children. She believes in the old adage that they are “cheaper by the dozen . Homer Butler is very proud of his polo team at Oxford University. They have won every game for the last four years. Congratulations, Coach Butler! Willie Carr studied forestry after leavinghigh school. He has returned to his home town and holds the very im- portant job of forest ranger in the Dawson timber. Ca riene Jacobs has the best known smile on televis ion. She is in all the commercials for a fantastic new tooth- paste. She has just recently insured her smile, which is all that is ever seen of her, for a million dollars. Don Cochran, the final member of the class, operates a pillow factory. Hehas a contract with the Illinois Central Railroad to supply each train with free pillows. Don specializes in senior class trips! I was sorry that I had to leave so soon, but I was extremely glad to hear that everyone in the class had done so well. Good luck to all of them in the future.

The year of 1960, the year that the new dial phones were put into operation, represents a milestone in the life of the Moultrie Independent Telephone Company. Each subscriber was given a choice of color and ivory proved to be the first choice with black and beige tieing for a second. Desk phones were installed in 65tfo of the locations; the others being the wall type. This is the first telephone company in the state to give a color choice to its customers at no extra cost and the second in the nation to do so. The Bowers family have owned and operated the exchange since 1946. We congratulate them for their success in meeting the needs of the community. MOULTRIE INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE COMPANY u The Moultrie Grain Association is a farm co- operative that comprises four elevators; Lovington, Ul- rich, Williamsburg, and Cadwell with the main office located at Cadwell. They have a capacity of a half-million bushels of grain transported by railroad and trucks. The most popular grain, corn, makes up about 50 of the total while oats, the least popular, accounts for 8 or lOfr. Mountrie Grain also handles the sealed grains, bought by the government from the farmers at the ceiling price and later sold to the elevators.

Wiggling to victory A holiday spirit prevailed and crowds lined the streets long before the appointed time for the parade. The parade originated at the ele- mentary school and turned east on Steu Street and then on to the football field where prizes were awarded. Classes included pre- school children and town groups as well as the school entries. Queen candidates were displayed on the Alumni float. The weather was good and the game score even better!

StudeM toumi The Student Council was formed at the beginning of the 1951-52 school year under the advisorship of Mr. H. A. Trimble, who was the high school principal at that time. In 1957 it became affiliated with the Illinois Association of Student Councils and was assigned to die Shelbyville District. Mr. Best and Mr. Brauer are the sponsors of the Council, which meets regularly on Friday. The group provides student assistance in school administration and encourages participation in die various school activities. This year it sponsored a local talent show on April 19th, which was well received. Its proceeds helped to send our two representatives to the state convention. A newspaper staff was organized and die Pandierama became a vital part of the school. Five members of the local council were able to attend the district meeting at Shelbyville. They were: David Breedlove, Judy Winings, Gary McCoy, Karen Brewer, and Meredith Bolsen. Judy and Gary also went to the state convention which was held April 28, 29, and 30 at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. These meetings are helpful in making the students realize that all schools have their individual problems and that there are various ways in dealing with them. 74 'Buamu Stafl SEATED: BlllWagahoft,SueMlller, Kenny Lowder, Bob Long, Mrs. Baker, Advisor.

Vh Stufj The publication of a school newspaper was begun again this year after a lapse of several years. It was a project of the Student Council, who Initiated it by giving each student a form page asking for sugges- tions for a newspaper and volunteers to become the staff. The response was great and the Pantherama was on Its way! Then the newspaper proved that It required work and more work and, as It usually Is In such cases, many df the would-be workers failed to appear and the publication became the work of a faithful few. (But Isn't that usually die case?) The Pantherama has been issued at monthly Intervals and its appearance has been a bright spot of die school day and always welcomed by die student body.
