Ninety-five boys maké up the corps which is organized in a company of three ee The platoons consist of three squads of ten msn each. ‘They a3 equipped with woodsn models of the 1903 -Springfield rifle. They have a simple, inexpensive khaki uniform consisting of overscas cap, Shirt, tie, and trousers. Regular Victory Corps insignia are worne iM pevobers .yte,.. when we first received the request trom the governinent. to organise. the Victory: Corps, one of the: first hings we done was to orgemize a scrap Orives During the cigs cussion by the students as +=to what snovid be done with the money be used to further the Victory Corps organization.It was decided by student vote to use the money to equip the military department. The plan was also presented through the Parents’ Bullentin to the parents.The American Legion was also contacted the response and approval was immediate and enthusiastic. ir. Keyes. and Mr. Nichols having hud military training , took over the organization of the unit. Ninety-cight per cent of the boys enthusiastically joined the military division in addition to their general membership in the Victory Corps. Regular war department soldier's handbooks and infantry drill manuals were purchased from Washington, Db. C. These are used as a tegt for discussion and testin, on military information, Mr. Keyes and Mr. Nichols visited the KOTC unit at the University of Illinois. The commander there was very helpful . He delegated officors there to bring the training of the in- stuctors up to date (numerous changes in military procedure had been made in the last few years). He also gave the source for purchasing wooden trainer rifles. These are excellent. ap- pearing models, they cannot bs distinguished from a regular ‘Springfield rifle at twenty-five feet. The American Legion also “loaned a dozen real Sprinfield rifles, These were issued to the Seniors who come under selective service soon. This is to give them the opportunity of becoming familiar with the mechanism end the Gare of the rifle as soon. as possible. A stage dressing room off the gym was converted into an armory and military headquarters. Mr. Smith, the janitor, built wall racks for tho rifles. All rifles were numbered and’ a sup- ply sergeant put in charge. Student MP's under the HUD TY Sere Beant are in charge of the armory each hour. These MP's also have monitor duties in the corridors of the building. MAROA COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL AND THE VICTORY CORPS Ses cHO SS FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE FIRST AID GROUP JUNIOR AND SENIOR FIRST AID GROUP Ta -orcer forthe girls to share more fully in the “Victory Corps Program organized for MCHS, all of the giris in school took a first aid course. the freshman and sophomore girls were directed by Miss Catharins Smith, and the upperclessmén- hac.

In all elementary first aid courses the administration of Brciticieali respiration is, -of course, included, NE era tga as learned how to use the prone pressure method of giving art- ifielal respiration so that they can give immediate troatmont to people whose breathing has stopped. Injuries to bones, joints, and muscles were also studied, As first aiders the girls learned what to do and what not to do po pases of fractures, “aprains, straing;. and “diglogarions, Diseussions were held upon the topic of inijuretcs odue to heat and cold.

Ani What a beautiful day it is here in St. Louis... As fi gaze from the pier where our boat is docked, I see several friends fathering for a reunion. This group graduated from the Maroa High School on April 50, 1945. This is the first time in ten years that they have met. They seem to be having a wonder- ful time reminiscing. Come with me down to the boat and meet a few of the classmates as they arrive. I am anxious to meet and talk with my old classmates and pals of M.C.H.S. Look whom I see immediately! None other than Judge J.R. Miller and his wife, the former Charlotte Creekmur. Well, life's like that. A little behind them comes three girls: Betty Daviay Audrey Jump, and Edna Matheney, still pals as they were in '43. I am informed by Charlotte Creekmur Miller that they are nurses at the great Research | Hospital in Chicago. Well, wéll, well, I can. hear Cy Young comings, loudly dis- cussing sports with Dean Burns. You might know Cy would be talking about sports. He tells me that he is a ee oe for the Cubs and Dean Burns is the sports writer, Here comes Mary Current strolling leisurely along. She's made a name for herself, The public is enthusiastically prais- ing here latest picture Don't Keep Him Waiting.” It seems there is always a teacher from every class and we are not lacking hépeeess LT ie eee thet Bernard } Liorgenthaler is a famous Agriculture teacher. I see coming toward the dock two old pals Wesley Gardner and Dick Tuggle. They always said that the farm was the life and they have proveca it by being successful farmers. fin aquaplane has jus alighted! Who could the pilot be Oh, it's an Aviatrix, Jo Ann Longsdorff, and the stewardess of . the pica is noné other than Irene Mee, She always seid she'd be one. Among the passengers I see Mrs, Barney Hinkle the former’ Virginia Cramer who is making great achievements in music, Louise Dial now New York's debutante, of the season and Barbara Marlatt, hostess of St. Louis's largest notel, Nice work girls! Strutting like bantem. roosters up to the boat we hear a cheery hello from Jim Clough and John Rose. Can you itapine it? They are coemanagers of the 1953 World's Fair, It's bound to be a success under the supervision of these two men. Cy isn't the only one in sports.

TFS itildred Schulze, Sponsor STUDENT COUNCIL The student council is an organization to assist in the government of the school. It is composed of two represent- atives from each home room, elected at the bezinning of the school year. It is a tradition that the president shall be elected from the senior members. ‘the council sponsors such things asschool parties, homecoming, special group activities, and changes in school regulations, and etc, For example, if the point system needs revision it is the work of the student council to investigate the situation and confer with the fac- ulty for such revision. Until recently two faculty members have acted as advisors for the student council. Due to the many changes in the teaching staff, new advisors will have to be appointed for the coming year. The officers and represent- atives this year are: President -------John Rose Vice President--Laura Hllen Hill Secy. Trease--Gwenievere Hartsock Senior representatives----John Rose John R. Miller Junior representatives-=--Yonald Shuey Laura Hill Sophomore representatives-Bennie Myers Gwen. Hartsock Freshman representatives--Dick Glosser Joan Montgomery PEP COMMITTEE STUDENT COUNCIL BASKETBALL TEAM The Echo MAROA HIGH FOOTBALL 1943 In looking over Maroa Hights football record one is likely to be discouraged,, And rightly so, because a record of i victory, 1 tie, and 4 leases in 6 games is easy..to beat. The Trojans on paper seemed a pretty fine team, but on the field they were an entirely different -team, Tumbles , listlessness, lack of coordination, and injuries cost Maroa several touchdowns, This year's team was a green one with only 3 veterans ree turning, Six seniors plus five juniors formed Maroé!s eleven, They’ were John Ross Miller, LE; Herschel McKown, Lt; John Rose, LG; Bill Montgomery,C; Glen Marlow, RG;-Russell Baidwin, RT; James Current, RE; Clarence Young, FB} Paul Caldwell, LHBs: Robert Wentworth, RHB; and Joe Vaughn, QB. . Here is a brief sketch of each game in the order they were played, st Decatur B The Trojans started off on the right foot by stopping Decaturts B squad 680, The game ‘was played on Decatur's field which was very hard and @usty, In. a gamé which was full of fumbles our boys were guilty of 7 of them, Maroa scored in the nd quarter when Captain Young went around left end for 9 yards and a touchdowm,. Decatur never threaten� ed although they passed plenty. Bement In a game played under adverse conditions Maroa suffered the first of 4 setbacks, It was administered to the tune of 14-0 by Bement, In the last minutes of the final quarter Young caught a pass good for 80 yards and a touchdown, but it was called back because of Backfield in motion, Lovington For the first time in 18 years a Maroa foot- ball team was defeated in it's annual Homecoming game, Score ing in the lst, end, and 4th quarter, the Panthers spoiled our Homecoming with ease. Maroa'fs only tally came when Captain Cy Young sprinted on the opening kickoff of the @nd half, Maroa put up a better fight then the score shows, but the Lovington boys took advantage of our laspes,. Tlliopolis In a hard fought battle Illiopolis downed the Trojans 13-0, Illiopolis scored in the i1st and Srd quarters, Maroa threatened in the 4th quarter but lost the ball on a bad pass, Assumption Playing at Assumption without the services of Young, fetawell, and Marlow, Maroa was trounced 19-0, Meet ing a light team with a backfield of slippery squirts the Tro- ‘Jans played their worst game of the year, Tackling was poor ee ee i eae eee Og ee Tees, Pa and pare, and so was locking. Assiuption scored in the lst, end, and’ 3rd quarters and were ‘almost at the goal Tie again when the final gun went off, Shel byville Showing a team which was very much heavier than ours all the Rams could do was to earn a 7-7 tie, Strike ing in the first quarter on a. pass ‘Shelbyville had all the way until in the last quarter Young interceoted a pass and was downed inches’ short: of a touchdown, On the next play Joe Vaughn went over,.. Young added: ‘the extra point, on a pass play, Shelbyville was constantly, riddling Maroats line but couldnit .o all-the way, They ie 189 lbs, to Maroa's 155 lbs, as a team, Vneds oe te the Squad’ Members ares , i Seniors. ee Rete Cy Younes. a3 ..
