J CcUc tcOH o To our parents who have worked so hard during these last four years to furnish us with the things which we thought were so important, and for their patience and understanding during our high school days, we thankfully dedicate nual. our an- THE BOARD OF EDUCATION o Engineering our voyage on the sea of education has been the board of education. Since we have started to high school there have been some changes made. Last year a Unit System was established and the new board consisted of representatives from the different districts of the surrounding community which the new system took in. President of the board is William Dab-ler. Mr. Dabler is a plumber and with his brother runs a hardware store in Manlius. Mr. Dabler was a former member of the Manlius grade school board. Asa Drayton is secretary of the present board of education and a former member of the New Bedford grade school board. Mr. Drayton is superintendent of the New Bedford Christian church Sunday school. He is very active in civic affairs. He resides in New Bedford and works in Manlius. Gilbert Thompson farms northwest of Manlius. Mr. Thompson was an active member of the Pleasant Ridge school board for two years before being elected a member of the Unit board. Oliver Nordstrom farms southeast of Manlius. Mr. Nordstrom is from the Hickory Grove district. Howard Hanson farms northwest of New Bedford. He is from the Johnson school district and is very active in the community's affairs. Claude Barber has been an active member of the high school board for a number of years. Because of his experience he was chosen president of the new board when it was formed, but because of ill health he has been forced to resign. These men have been a great help in keeping the school going and we appreciate their work very much since they do it all free gratis. In the spring election a new member was elected, Mr. Glenn Hewitt, and Mr. Drayton was re-elected. We know Mr. Hewitt will do an excellent job along with the rest of the board. « THE FACULTY OF MANLIUS HIGH SCHOOL o There are eight teachers this year at Manlius, five men and three women. All have done iheir very best to impart a little knowledge to the students of Manlius high school. This is an informal introduction to our teachers. Mr. Keist is the principal of the high school and superintendent of the Unit District. Mr. Keist has both Master’s and Bachelor’s Degrees. He has been with us for four years. This year he is coach of football and assistant coach of basketball and track. Besides all his other duties he teaches algebra and geometry. So it is easy to see why he always (?) wears that serious look. Who wouldn’t if they had a load like that on their shoulders? Especially if they did their job as thoroughly as Mr. Keist. Mr. Rice is another member of the faculty who has been with us for a number of years. He teaches agriculture. Mr. Rice came to Manlius from Illiopolis, Illinois. He received his Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Illinois. The farm boys all enjoy working with Mr. Rice and refer to him as “Doc.” Mr. Veach came to Manlius last year and served as assistant coach of football and coach of basketball and track. He still holds the same position and teaches biology and world history. Mr. Veach comes from Quincy, Illinois, and received his B.Ed. degree at Illinois State Normal University and is at present taking graduate work at the University of Illinois. Last fall Mr. Veach acquired a broken ankle via some muscle-bound football player, but he is back on both feet again. Mr. John R. Davidson is a newcomer to Manlius this year. He teaches bookkeeping, typing and shorthand. Mr. Davidson attended Evanston township high school and received his B. S. degree and M. A. degree at the University of Illinois. For five years he taught commercial subjects and was coach at New Holland high school. For another five years he was principal at Hennepin, but because of ill health he had to give up that job and get one less strenuous. Mr. Faye is head of the music department, lie attended Wheaton college, Columbia School of Music, and Chicago Conservatory. He has a Bachelor of Music degree. Mr. Faye has improved the band and has taught several of the students how to manipulate musical instruments. He took five girls from the girls’ chorus to the spring festival at Spring Valley and he also took several students of music to the district contest. Awards were won by nearly all who attended and one soloist received a medal for first place. Mr. Faye has charge of music for the grade schools in the unit. He has done his job well. Mr. N. A. Johnson is the janitor and has been for several years. It is his duty to keep the school house clean and to keep the lawn tidy. He is the fellow who puts up the staging for plays, sets out seats for programs, graduation, etc., and various other jobs to help the students in their activities. He always hums or whistles as he walks down the corridors with a broom in hand; but he can raise the roof if anyone uses his tools and fails to return them. He enjoys a good joke as well as the next person and we all appreciate his good work. Manlius High School - Our Ship of Knowledge o Manlius high school is a very outstanding institution in Manlius. It is held in high esteem by everyone in the community. It is set back on a large campus which is beautifully landscaped. The present building was built in 1920 and in 1931 the new gymnasium was added. In back of the main building and gym is the spacious athletic field. Here football and track are held. In 1947 lights were put on the field so that football games could be held at night. In the summer the field is used for baseball. The Ag Shop was built during the war and is used extensively by the boys in agriculture. Many people have passed through Manlius high school's portals. Although none have ever become famous, some are quite outstanding, and all have taken something with them. f THE FACULTY OF MANLIUS HIGH SCHOOL o Miss Coleman has been at Manlius for four years, so everyone is quite well acquainted with her. Miss Coleman has both Master's and Bachelor's degrees. She teaches junior and senior English and also social studies. She is senior class sponsor this year and has done an excellent job at coaching their class play and engineering other projects they have undertaken. Several of the senior boys have found they can change Miss Coleman's mind when she starts to cuss them out by telling some silly joke. She has a wonderful sense of humor. Miss Code, our new home economics teacher, hails from nearby Bradford. Although she is not much bigger than a minute she can put even the huskiest shot putter in his place. The girls in home economics enjoy Miss Code immensely, she seems almost like one of them. It is hard for some of the students to keep from calling her Mary Jean. Miss Code received her B. S. degree at Illinois State Normal University. Mrs. Alberta Loos is another newcomer. She attended Teacher's College High School in Cape Giradeau, Missouri. She received her B.Ed. degree at Missouri State College. Mrs. Loos did correspondence work at Southern Illinois while teaching a rural grade school at Harrisburg, in Cape Giradean county, Missouri. Mrs. Loos teaches freshman and sophomore English and both classes of girls' physical education. We hear she has quite a time with some of the girls. Elinor Van Ormer graduated with the Class of '47 and has been the office secretary for two years. If you want to know anything just ask Elinor. I wonder just how many students go to her every day? She flits around like a busy little bee going after this teachet or that, or conveying a message to someone. We really don't know what we ever did without Elinor before. M.h.s.

We managed to struggle through the first year under the supervision of Mr. Moore, principal; Miss Love, Miss Haseltine, Mr. Rice, Mrs. Swanson, Miss Coleman and Mr. Meeks. Mr. Keist replaced Mr. Meeks for our second semester. Our first two weeks were spent by getting to the proper classes on time and getting to know the other students. The latter proved very helpful when we were initiated into the ranks of high school life, for many of us were known to bow not only to seniors, but also to juniors and sophomores. The initiation took place during our second week at school. During the day we were forced to perform for the student body; however, the seniors honored us at a party that night and more than made up for our suffering. After our initiation, our freshman year passed by quickly. For the first year we had as our class officers: Lois Sanden, president; Dorothy Engels, vice president; and Grant Heuer, secretary and treasurer. Our sponsor was Mr. Moore. Verla Lubbs, Kenneth McDonald and Alice Bolivar left us at the beginning of the second semester, leaving us with a total of eighteen. In the fall of 46, we trouped into the high school as sophomores, but not quite so green as last year. Our teachers for this year were Mr. Moore, principal; Mr. Johns, Miss Her- mies, Mr. Rice, Miss Brunskill, Miss Coleman and Mr. Keist. At the beginning of our second semester Mr. Moore was replaced by Mr. Keist as principal. Mr. Duf-field joined us and took over the Science department. He was also assistant coach. Officers chosen for this year were: Norma Wilkinson, president; Dean Hap-ner, vice president; and Eugene Wirth, secretary and treasurer. We chose Mr. Johns as our class sponsor this year. Now that we were sophomores, we were allowed a few more social privileges. The first of these took place in November, the event being a hay ride, which we all enjoyed. It was at this time that many of us forgot our bashfulness and learned the art of holding hands. Many of us, however, were a little surprised to learn that the barrier between student and teacher had been broken. This year was also the occasion for our first class dance, and despite everyone's predictions proved to be a great success. The music of Spin Lawrence was introduced to the ears of Manlius at this time. The event which only a few of us were lucky enough to attend was the junior-senior prom. These lucky few were fortunate enough to trap junior or senior students for invitations. This year we lost only one student. Her name was Marilyn Lang. As Jolly Juniors we entered the doors of Manlius high school in the fall of '47. Although our class was the smallest in school, because of Marietta DeSkeere's absence this year, we had only seventeen members, we never once lost faith in our ability to accomplish what we thought needed to be done. DOROTHY ENGELS HISTORY We elected as officers this year, Lois Sanden, president; Dorothy Engels, vice president; and Eugene Wirth, secretary and treasurer. Miss Coleman was our class sponsor. Very few changes took place in the teaching staff this year, the faculty being composed of: Mr. Keist, principal; Mr. Rice, Mrs. Veach, Miss Hermies, Miss Brunski 11, Mrs. Carlson and Miss Coleman. Our junior class dance was held in the fall this year, and we danced to the strains of Johnny Kaye's orchestra. We were very proud of our dance this year for we had put in a good many hours work on decorating the dance floor and the tea room. Our biggest thrill was the orchestra because all the members wore band uniforms. During our second semester we all were kept quite busy with our class play, the name of which was Bolts and Nuts. We were also given the responsibility of preparing for the junior-senior prom. Our theme for the prom was Southern Garden, and it took a great deal of work to make the affair as pretty as it turned out to be. Our hardest efforts went into making dozens of roses, which were wound around white picket fences, made by the boys. The girls concentrated upon dyeing cheesecloth for the ceiling of the gym. They also made dresses for the girls who were to serve the banquet. In September of '48, we entered the high school for our last year, we were now known as seniors. This year we gained two new students and lost one, giving us a total of eighteen. Fred Cook entered from Peoria Woodruff and John Hurley entered from Sheffield. Roger Hubbard was our loss. This year we were under the supervision of Mr. Keist, principal; Mr. Davidson, Mr. Rice, Miss Code, Mrs. Veach, Miss Coleman, Mr. Faye and Mrs. Loos. We chose as our class officers this year, Lois Sanden, president; Mervyn Wilson, vice president; and Donna Coggins, secretary and treasurer. Again our sponsor was Miss Coleman. Since this was our last year in school, our social activities were extended somewhat. Our senior class dance was held in December in the form of a Christmas dance. We decorated the gym and tea room to this effect. Music was furnished by Spin Lawrence's orchestra. The performance of the senior took place in February. The name of it was Faith, Hope and Flarity. In May we are taking charge of the tea room for the Firemen's Ball. This year the boys in our class took a more active part in sports, so we feel that part of the credit of our winnings goes to them. We are also very proud of the fact that the only member of the Music department who received a first place award in the music contest this year was a senior. Her name was Vera Schuneman. We plan to take our senior trip the first week in June, and we are going to take a cruise on Lake Michigan. Dorothy Engels Le Roy Wirth Neil Wise CLASS WILL I, Norma Wilkinson, do bequeath my seriousness to Baldy Oloffson, so that he may settle down in the years to come, and my diamond ring and all the happiness that goes with it to Jo Ann Van De Velde. I, Mervyn Wilson, do bequeath my talent in sports to Gene Jensen, who doesn't seem able to apply himself, also my best friend to Anita Pierson. I, Robert Rudiger, do bequeath my ability to poke fun, no matter how serious the situation may be, to Ruth Salz-man. I, Dean Hapner, do bequeath to Eugene Sugars, my interests in Buda. Rumors say you are having hard luck, Eugene. I, Lois Sanden, do bequeath to Barbara Kuepker, my close relationship to my cousin, Harry Oloffson. I, Dorothy Vandermoon, do bequeath my ability to get along with a certain Prophetstown boy to both La Vetta Jensen and Helen Hartz. We hear those girls are interested in a couple of fellows from that town! I, Fred Cook, do bequeath to Gwen-nie De Craene, my well used cornet. It seems that Gwen likes to blow a lot. I, Vera Schuneman, will to Marlene Tornow, my ability to control my laughter. I, Melva Yonk, bequeath to Vivian Wise, my ability to keep riding in Pon-tiacs, whether they are blue or black. I, Bobby Nelson, do bequeath my ability to find out people's inner-most secrets to Dennis Hurley. I, Cleo Gumphrey, do will to Nelda Hanson and Carola Peterson, my most prized book, the name of which is, How to Play Hard to Get, and Get a Man at the Same Time. I, Donna Coggins, do will my driving ability to Dennis Schaffer, who it seems, has had a little trouble. I, LeRoy Wirth, will to Nelson Nelson, all the comic books I read in school this past year, so she can take her mind off her romantic problems. I, Eugene Wirth, will to Harry Oloffson, all the love I have for my BIG brother, and also, all my cast-off girl friends to Stanley Brieser. You should be loaded with dates next year, Stan. I, Neil Wise, do bequeath my ability to sleep in English and History classes and get away with it to Bob Cox. I, Dorothy Engels, do will to Alvy Roush, my ability to get to the bus on time, even though my shoes are untied and my breakfast is in my hand. I, Grant Heuer, do will to Helen Brown, my position in the senior class as chief noisemaker. I, John Hurley, do give to Bonnie Hayden, a life time membership in the Dead Battery Club. Don't forget, Bonnie, that Fred is co-president. c NORMA WILKINSON JOHN HURLED MELVA YONK PROPHECY As I sit in my easy chair reading a special edition of the Manlius high school paper, I note that the entire class of 49 is listed as being the most noted body of individuals to have ever graduated from the school. Although only ten years have passed since our graduation, it seems that we have acquired much fame and glory in this world, during that brief era. The headlines say that Fred Cook is going to appear at the high school to play for the annual junior-senior prom. Fred is the leader of one of the most unusual bands in the country. All the members, including Fred, are ministers. Another headliner is Donna Coggins, who has gained much recognition for being the only woman to win the dangerous Indianapolis Speedway race. I remember Donna as being a very slow and careful driver so this came as a surprise to me. In the society news is Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Olson, who celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary with a big party. Mrs. Olson is the former Norma Wilkinson. It seems inevitable that I should read that Vera Schuneman is opening her new season at the Metropolitan Opera this week. Vera used to entertain us at school with her lovely voice. On this page I see where Cleo Gum-phrey, who is an outstanding United States diplomat, was responsible for smoothing out this country's relationship with foreign nations. Dean Hapner has become an automobile manufacturer, making a new type of car, the name of which is the Green Dragon. These cars, as the name implies, are all to be green, and can be used as either cars, boats, planes or tractors. They have the appearance of all four vehicles, also. Dean has made the announcement that some day his weird creation will be the only means of transportation. One of our former classmates, Melva Yonk, has finally found her dream man. According to Melva, he is tall, dark, handsome, and rich. The wedding is to take place tomorrow in New York City, where Melva is appearing in a Broadway hit. Neil Wise has just accepted the position of Secretary of Treasury and will be sworn into office some time in the near future. Before this appointment, Neil was successfully employed in a number of jobs. Between jobs he even found time PROPHECY to go on an expedition into the jungles of Africa; afterwards writing a book and giving several lectures on his experience. It used to be Neil's greatest worry that after school days he would never amount to anything in life. His experiences certainly show differently. Just saw where Admiral Eugene Wirth returned to New York from Antartica, after making several polar expeditions there. His brother, LeRoy, is to meet him at the dock. LeRoy is a rich oil magnate. I do hope the boys do not get into a fight the instant they see each other as they did in their high school days. After her tumultous love affairs at Manlius high school, it seems odd that Lois Sanden should remain an old maid. But according to this article she happily remains so by operating an exclusive dressmaker's shop in the big city. Here is an odd article. It seems that a struggling scientist has made good his boast that some day he would develop a bubble gum that could be made to stretch from Maine to California without breaking. Why, that young man's name is Robert Rudiger. Of course, this comes as no surprise for Rudiger was well known for his bubble gum escapades in school. Another humorous article is this one concerning an unusual incident which happened on the Mervyn Wilson farm. This is a duplicate of one that happened during his senior year. It seems that Merv's favorite cow has gotten herself settled in the farm silo, and neither Merv nor any of the neighbors can get her out. An outstanding businessman. Grant Heuer, has just announced his engagement to Angeline Heaven, an actress from Hollywood. It is almost unbelievable that Grant could have talked two wives to death already, although Grant always could talk a lot. Bobby Nelson has just set a new record for jet planes flying around the world. Boby is one boy who certainly has changed, during his high school days it made him nervous to think of driving his car any farther than Manlius. The ownership of the Kraft Cheese factories has just been purchased by John Hurley. John started from the bottom and worked his way up in this business. The clock is striking four so I hastily folded the newspaper as my six little urchins came running in from school. Reminiscences are very pleasant, but tasks of present are very urgent. Dorothy Engels. 0 � ¥ JUNIOR CLASS o The senior class of 1950 is composed of twenty-three juniors, all of whom are looking forward to graduation in 1950. This class will have many happy memories of this year. One of their most memorable occasions was the class party held after the Ohio football game. They were in a particularly jubilant mood since we had won a very spectacular victory that afternoon in the rain. That seemed a poor excuse for breaking the record player, however, - • when the difficulties of fixing it were so great! Then after the party was the problem of who saw who home! The boys were practically all out for football, but they contributed their share and the girls did the work of putting on a couple of successful bake sales during the fall at the football games. Another pleasant memory was the work, worry, fun, and satisfaction of the play Strictly Formal. This was their first attempt at high school play acting. Everyone looks forward to a dance and the juniors sponsored a particularly nice one in February. They had a tea room where they served delicious food. They were quite happy over the affair since they made a worthy bit of money for their class. At the present time they are hard at work on the junior-senior banquet and prom, in honor of the Class of '49. This affair is being looked forward to as as colorful and gay as the Mardi Gras. The people who have successfully piloted the class through the year were the officers: President.........Carola Peterson Vice President. Dennis Schaeffer Secretary...........Anita Pierson Treasurer. .Jo Ann Van de Velde Marlene Tornow Student Council.

More Fun! SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES o The sophomores returned to school last fall determined to show everyone that they weren't Green Freshmen anymore. They surely have proved the saying of Silly Sophomores. In fact, I think they are just about as silly as we seniors were when we were sophomores. Of course, no one could beat the good old class of '49. Eighteen sophomores came back this year. They have gained two and lost two. George Hand left us to finish in Sheffield and Floyd Toppert left to finish in Pro-phetstown. The two gained were Joanne Hurley from Sheffield and Kathleen Schmidt from Buda. At any rate they came out even all around. During the year they took part in the magazine sales campaign, sponsored a dance, paid $5.00 for repairs on the radio, and had a hay-rack ride. They had Joe De Zutti's orchestra for their dance. We were very sorry that Howard Hanson, Billy Gaunt, and Lois Vandermoon were absent picture taking day. Kathleen moved in afterward, too; so we have no picture of her. The sophomores have proved themselves very useful this year in all school affaris, with sports in the lead. Next year when they return as juniors, we all hope they will get over being Silly Sophomores and settle down to become the Jolliest Juniors that Manlius has ever had.

They thought that they could tell the rest what to do, but they soon found out who made the rules and who bossed the students. Then after a few short weeks the seniors wanted to have some fun; so we painted the freshmen with lipstick so that they looked like the Last of the Mohicans. Then the next day they were told what to wear, and if they didn't look cute in those outfits! After that they settled down and now they don't look or act like that green bunch of kids who came to join the rest of us here at good old MHS. party which also proved to the rest of us that they can entertain themselves no matter what. Some of the freshmen girls think the upper classmen are really cute and they have quite a few dates, so I hear. They sure don't let the grass grow under their feet. At the beginning of the first semester they elected their class officers who are as follows: President.................Jerry Dabler Vice Pres.....Annevieve Schmidt They have had a scavenger hunt which, I hear, turned out to be a lot of fun. At least, some of them liked it. They also had a freshman and sophomore skating Sec. and Treas....

A. o The Future Homemakers of America is an organization formed to teach young girls leadership, cooperation and homemaking. This year forty girls have joined voluntarily and each of the new members were initiated. The members of the organization chose Mrs. Vernon Hartz as their Chapter Mother, and nearly every girl has taken some active part. Some of the girls served the FFA banquet, some served the Texico luncheon, while others have taken some active part in other activities.

No matter how important a knowledge of verb phrases is to the student in his speech and writing, or how animated and broad-minded a discussion in Social Studies class, there's no way to get it down in photographic black and white,- so we were somewhat limited in our class room pictures. Mr. Keist's geometry class gave a very excellent demonstration of good hard work. The class was small, the brains plentiful, and they seemed to have a wonderful time pondering over their various diagrams and problems. Here you see them at work. We have three typing classes, two first year, and one second year. The latter class is made up of those who found first year typing easy sailing, or who have definite leanings toward secretarial jobs. The picture on the opposite page is of one of the first year typing classes. The personnel of the class is juniors, who seem to be taking their work quite seriously. This may be a pose, but after all, that's what we usually do when we have our pictures taken. Mr. Davidson is the teacher. This is our first class in mechanical drawing, but even though new in the curriculum, it is proving quite popular. The boys in the group are learning fundamentals that should help them in the future. The habits of neatness and preciseness which they are forming will no doubt aid them a great deal with their other work. Mr. Veach, the instructor, has made the course interesting and beneficial. AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT There are twenty-seven boys taking part in the Ag. classes this year. The three separate classes are instructed by Mr. Rice. Some of the classes are conducted in the school class room, while others meet in the Ag. shop for laboratory classes. On some occasions the boys go on field trips to observe the projects of their fellow students. Projects consist of raising crops to raising farm animals. Records are kept toshow the progress each boy makes in his project. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization, established in 1928, of, by and for boys studying vocational agriculture. Membership is entirely voluntary and their aim is for the development of agricultural leadership, cooperation and good citizenship. Their motto is Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve. This year there are twenty-seven members. They have held their annual Father and Son banquet and their annual boar sale, sold seeds to raise money, attended various conventions, and were active on several radio programs. o F.

Robert Lind Adviser Mr. Rice ONE ACT PLAY o The one act play, Thunderhead, was given in the county one act play contest at Spring Valley on February 16. The play was directed by Mrs. Loos and Miss Coleman. The school feels proud of the fact that the play received honorable mention, and that Bonnie Hayden received a medal for the best minor woman's role. Janet Vandermoon and John Hurley also received commendations. The plot centered around the heavy rains and the flood caused by a series of forest fires. Mrs. Kirby, played by Janet Vandermoon, was visited by Sheriff Page, who was investigating the cause of the fires. The part was played by John Hur- ley. During her grandson's absence, Mrs. Kirby had been cared for by her neighbors, Ruth Webb, Joanne Hurley and Liz Gallop, a typical mountain woman, played by Bonnie Hayden. Mrs. Kirby's grandson, Lee, who returns from prison, where he has been serving a sentence because he was unjustly convicted of setting a forest fire, was played by LeRoy Wirth. The neighborhood bullies, Hap and Roy Ben-kin, played by Roger Johnson and Otto Dobbeke, were caught by Lee, who made them confess to the sheriff that they were the ones who really set the fire for which Lee had been blamed. This cleared Lee's name and the villians were taken off to jail. SENIOR CLASS PLAY The seniors of '49 gave their presentation of Faith, Hope, and Flarity, a farce in three acts. The play was directed by the senior English teacher and sponsor of the class, Miss Coleman. She was assisted with the make-up on the night of the play by Miss Code, the Home Economics instructor. The action of the play centered around Quadlander Crabbe's, played by LeRoy Wirth, promise to an old friend that their children would marry when they grew up. This idea didn't set so well with his twin daughters. Faith and Hope, Donna Mae Coggins and Lois Sanden, or with his friend, Patrick Flarity's, Robert Rudiger, son Terrance, Neil Wise. The girls have a couple of dandified boy-friends, the Van Twiller brothers, Eugene Wirth and Mervyn Wilson. To complicate matters STRICTLY FORMAL William Davidson Strictly Formal was the reenactment of what happens when the Junior-Senior Prom is just two weeks away and no one has a date. Jane and Sally, trying frantically to get a man, brought the wrath of the neighbors and parents down on them. As with all fairy tales, when the night of the dance arrived every one had a date and every one was happy. further the cook, Norma Wilkinson, is in love with the butler. Grant Heuer, who is casting eyes at the maid Sally, Vera Schuneman. To complicate matters further the girls set out to outwit their elders, particularly the chaperoning aunt, Dorothy Vandermoon. Papa Crabbe goes away on a trip, Aunt Olivio leaves for the night and the young folks are left to their own devices. One of their biggest problems is outwitting their actress cousin. Ivy Lane, Melva Yonk. Many complications arise in trying to keep a promise from being carried out. If will be a long time before we forget how homely good-looking young people can make themselves, but all came out satisfactorily in the end. And that's that. Period. PLAY CAST Jane Cutler . .

Every one remembers these affairs long after he has forgotten the struggles with algebra and the thousand word themes. The most gala event of the Manlius school year is the Junior-Senior Prom and banquet. The seniors of '49 were very proud of the affair put on last year. The final results paid for all the dyeing and sewing of cheese cloth into a ceiling, the painting of bricks, the cutting down of trees, etc. The Southern garden with its flower-lined trelleses and porch boxes was very beautiful. The class and school parties are fun whatever the occasion. The clubs in school put on special affairs that are looked forward to eagerly. One of the annual affairs that we enjoy is the Christmas party with its exchange of gifts. There are usually a few jokes. This year was no exception. One of the organizations that contributes a great deal to school is the Student Council. Their chief services the last couple of years has been planning fresh- man initiation and keeping the radiorecord player repaired. Another most valuable group is the two teams of cheer leaders. These are chosen by the student body. One group is chosen from the freshman and sophomore classes, the other from the entire student body. The girls chosen this year worked hard and loyally and did a very nice job of cheering the team on to its best efforts. A few students were given special individual honors for various activities. Robert Rudiger was chosen as one of the second team County All-Stars in basketball, an honor that we who watched Robert perform feel he certainly deserves. Bonnie Hayden was selected by the judge of the county dramatic contest as best actress in a minor role. We who saw her portray Liz, the mountain woman, know what an excellent actress she was that night. Donna Coggins was chosen by the faculty as the most outstanding senior t girl school citizen. We are proud of these students as well as all others who worked hard to achieve honor for the school in extra-curricular activities. MUSIC o The Manlius unit district music department, directed by J. Edward Fay, has been working diligently all through the year. There has been established a fine high school band which has appeared in public programs quite often. Also, the grade school students of the unit have taken quite a lot of interest in the band. These pupils, through the cooperation of their parents, assemble at the high school once a week for a rehearsal. They show good possibilities for a good high school band in the years to come. We also had a fine group in girls' chorus,- although the chorus has not appeared in public this year, we have had a good time and worked hard. Out of the chorus several individual and group events have developed. We have a sextet which has worked hard and accomplished a great deal. This group of girls went to the contest at Mendota in March and brought home the honor of receiving second place. We also took several soloists to Mendota. They were Fred Cook, Coronet, La-Vetta Jensen, Annevieve Schmidt, Vera Schuneman and Charlene House. These students all received a rating and hopes for the future. The grade school children have learned to read notes as they sing and they can sing several songs in harmony. They are doing fine work, we think. Every year the schools of the county hold a music festival. We have a group of six who plan to go and take part in this program. It is to be held in Princeton, Illinois. These are always conducted by directors who have studied music all their lives. So the students receive a lesson in singing as well as having a good time. We, as seniors, are going to miss our music classes, but we hope you underclassmen will continue to work hard and acquire all you can in music. We wish you the best of luck. t-«chett f ml blU - ' ' Pe-pnodant £ mi | lift bw a nee CooKi Flash Bob Lu Ke Chee.z.ie Bald I A L STORE CLOTHING and SHOES O PHONK 341 WALNUT ILLINOIS YORKTOWN LUMBER CRAIN CO.

LaMoille had been a favorite for the Little Eight title. The next game was with Neponset at Manlius. It was a rough battle for a while but we finally pushed ahead to win, 33-6. At Wyanet we received our first defeat of the season. The battle was pretty even all through the game but the Eagles hammered their way to a 26-25 victory. A week later the Tiskilwa Indians invaded our territory and hung a 27-26 defeat on us. Their team spirit and our faliure to stop their continuous drives and make our extra points, gave them their close victory. We traveled to Sheffield to return badly defeated. Four members of the first team could not play because of injuries. These, together with Otto Dobbeke's knee injury in the first, quarter, helped to bring about our defeat. Our victory over Buda proved not to be too difficult a task. Nearly all the substitutes got a chance to play in this game. Our final game of the season was at Ohio. Led by Harry Oloffson and his five touchdowns, we romped to a 45-13 victory, thus ending the season with a total of four wins and three losses. FOOTBALL Seniors on the football squad include Grant Heuer, Fred Cook, Robert Nelson, LeRoy Wirth, Mervyn Wilson, Gene Wirth, Dean Hapner, Neil Wise and Robert Rudiger. Another senior, John Hurley, began the season but an ankle injury forced him to drop out. All the seniors on the squad received varsity letters. o FOOTBALL SCORES Manlius 25—LaMoille 0 Manlius 33—Neponset 6 Manlius 25—Wyanet Manlius 26—Tiskilwa 27 Manlius 6—Sheffield 14 Manlius 33—Buda 13 Manlius 45—Ohio 13 FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE o The freshmen-sophomores had a very successful year in football, winning all of their scheduled games.

Our main accomplishment was the winning of the Little Eight Conference with a total of eight victories and no defeats. Our tough luck came in the tournaments. The first game of the Little Eight tourney ended with a one poine defeat from Bureau Township. In the county tournament, we were badly defeated by Walnut in the first round. Another close game in the district tournament with LaMoille ended with a one point defeat in the first round.

TRACK The track squad had a very successful season this year, winning our four triangular meets and also the Little 8 Conference meet at Tiskilwa. Track was the decisive sport in winning the traveling trophy. The squad deserves much credit for its success. For our first meet we traveled to Sheffield with Wyanet also participating. We received first in eight of the fifteen events. These together with many seconds, thirds, and fourths brought about our victory of one and one-half points over Sheffield. Wyanet received third place. This meet was not settled until the varsity relay which we fortunately won. The next meet was here at Manlius with Ohio and Buda competing. This proved to be an easy victory. We took firsts in all but one event. Ohio took second and Buda came in third. Our third conference meet of the season was with Neponset and Bureau Township at Neponset. Our victory here didn't seem to be too difficult a task.. Nearly every event brought a first place. Neponset was strong in most events and fought all the way. Bureau finished last. The Iasi triangular conference meet was held at Tiskilwa. LaMoille was the third team competing and we had pretty tough going all through the meet. It was probably the most evenly matched meet of the season. Our boys pulled through, however, to win by a small margin. LaMoille finished a close second and Tiskilwa third. Aaain the varsity relay proved to be an important event. A week later showed that we had a tough job on our shoulders. The Little Eight Conference meet was to be held this week. When the meet started, we had a five point advantage because of our previous winnings. The boys worked hard, coming out again victorious. LaMoille finished second and Sheffield not far behind for third. Hapner was fortunate in breaking two records this year. Both were in the shot-put. His best throw was at Galva where he broke his first record. He threw it 46 feet 7 3-4 inches. At Tiskilwa in the Little Eight Conference meet, he also broke the record, throwing it 45 feet, 1 1-2 inches. Other standouts this year were Mervyn Wilson and Robert Rudiger in the hurdles, Harry Oloffson in the sprints and James Gafka, a freshman, in the mile. Many of the other boys did exceptionally well too. The way the Freshmen and Sophomores showed ability this year, we do not hesitate to predict a successful track team in the future. Squad members were: Seniors, Dean Hapner, Grant Heuer, Robert Rudiger, Mervyn Wilson, Fred Cook, and John Hurley. Juniors, Stanley Breiser, Dennis Hurley, Gene Jensen, Harold Oloffson, Harry Oloffson, Alvy Roush, and Eugene Sugars. Sophomores, Dale De Skeere, Otto Dob-beke, Robert Fox, and Ned Swanson. Freshmen, James Glafka, Robert Henson, Ronnie Hewitt, and Robert Lind. Best Wishes to the Class of 1949 BOLLMAN OIL CO.
