' C ASS HISTORY For most freshman classes, high school is a new experience, however, for the freshmen that entered M. C. H. S. in September of '50, high school in a sense, was not entirely novel. There was good reason, our eighth grade class was held at the high school the preceding year. Nevertheless there were still many things we didn't understand. Only a few weeks of school had passed when we held an election for class officers. Mr. Schultze was appointed our advisor while Diane Cryer was chosen President, Frank Taylor, Vice-President, and Beverly Bowman, Secretary-Treasurer. Elected to the student council were Dorothy Hildebrandt and Roger Lancaster. We were well represented in sports. Patricia Lane and Leah Holohan were chosen as two of the four cheerleaders. We were also well represented in the academic field. Activities such as a Weiner roast at Morgans' and stunt night fwe proved our ability as actorsl made the school year even more pleasant. Before the first semester had hardly gotten underway, our class gained Albert Decker and Lester Williams and we then numbered twenty-five. Our number soon dwindled, however, for we lost the latter along with Ruth and David Coon, Rex Gordon, and Janette Van Hoosier. In September, 1951, nineteen silly sophomores entered M. C. H. S. to start an- other year of work and fun. We held our first class meeting to elect officers, which were: Marilyn Van Hoosier, President, Bob Coffman, Vice-President, Mary Watts, Secretary, Leah Holohan, Treas- urer. We chose Marcia Lane and Dick Farmer as representatives for Student Council. Miss Schofield acted as our advisor. Dick Farmer and Jim Necessary represented our class in the M Club. Marcia Lane, Patricia Lane, Beverly Bowman, Richard Farmer, Dorothy Hilde- brandt, and Roger Lancaster journeyed to the National Honor Society. We were well represented. in sports. In baseball, we were represented by Roger Lancaster, Dick Farmer, and Jim Necessary. These boys, joined by Dick Yeast, Albert Decker, Bob Coffman, and Frank Taylor, were active in basketball. Leah Holohan and Sue Morgan were cheerleaders. In November, our class grew larger with Dick Yeast coming from Moline, and Ruth Coone coming from El Paso. Beginning the second semester, Kenneth Conlin came from Arthur, Illinois. In September of '52, we entered the halls of McLean High to begin our third year of school activities. We had our first class meeting in early September and elected our officers. We chose Marcia Lane, President, Beverly Bowman. Vice Presidentg Patricia Lane, Secretary, Dick Farmer, Treasurer, and Ken Conlin, Reporter. Student Council representatives were Dick Yeast, Roger Lancaster, and Bob Coffman, Class advisors, Miss Winings and Miss Kieszling. We entered a political float in the Fall Festival Parade. October lst, we selected and ordered our class play. We selected Rest Assured which we presented on November 14, 1952. We gained Donald Lovan to increase our enrollment to twenty-three. Roger Lan- caster moved to 'Delavan in January. Leah Holohan was elected to take his place in Student Council. On September lst, we again entered school. As our class officers we chose Dick Farmer, President, Ken Conlin, Vice President, Pat Lane, Secretary-Treasurer, and for Student Council, Bob Coffman, Jim Necessary, Pat Lane, and Sue Morgan. On May 23rd, we donned our caps and gowns for the first time. We now realized that our school days were almost ended. On the evening of May 27th, 22 seniors marched to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance to their place on the stage. We are now ready to take our place in the world. C ASS POEM We are presenting to you the class of 54, Who are hoping to go ahead and reach a high score. So watch out for this class of 22, Who'll be honest and good and always be true. Sherma Andersen, who's setting her course, Her interest is now in the Air Force. Beverly Bowman, is editor of the school paper, Is always doing an undesc ribable caper. Bob Coffman, a tall lanky lad, Whose reactions and looks are a lot like his Dad. Ken Conlin, who's always talking about this and that, But most of all, about his little Pat. Diane Cryer, who isn't considered slim, Has but one main interest, and that is Jim. Albert Decker, has a little white Ford, He holds it together with baling wire and cord. Dick Farmer, a good student every year, When some girls see him they give him a cheer. Dorothy Hildebrandt, the brain of the class, Doesn't have to worry to whether or not she'll pass. Leah Holohan, a short little flirt, May someday have a little Georgie hanging on her skirt Marcia Lane, we know is stuck, On a guy from Danvers, named Chuck. Patricia Lane, a very nice girl, When she sees Ken, her heart goes a whirl. Myrna Lathim, the blond of the class, To everyone is a quiet little lass. Elwood Long, who is thin and tall, Likes to spend his spare time playing basketball. Don Lovan, is on his way, To a little town only 3 miles away. Sue Morgan, a cute little trick, Eldon Johnson seems to be her pick. Mary Morgan, with short dark curls, Is very well liked by all of the girls. Jim Necessary, who lives on a farm, By next fall he'll have a strong arm. Mauda Steward, who's a waitress in the cafe, Plays her favorite song, Come What May. Frank Taylor, a shy and quiet lad, There's not much you can do to make him mad. Marilyn Van Hoosier, who can get a temper at times, Will someday hear the wedding bell chimes. Dick Yeast, who tries to do his best at every task, Is liked by everyone, what more could you ask. And I Ken Ford, last of all, Have but one ambition and that's to be small. .l C ASS WILL We, the Senior Class of McLean Community High School, in the year nineteen hun- dred fifty-four, being of sound mind and good disposition and considering it fairly well settled that we are to graduate this year, do hereby devise, give and bequeath certain properties and virtuous qualities to the class of 1953. First, to the Board of Education, who have made possible many of the privileges we have enjoyed the past four years, we pledge our sincere efforts to be future loyal and useful citizens. To Mr. Yates, our principal, we leave our sincere gratitude for the way he has helped us during our most important year of school. Second, to our teachers we leave peace and quiet, for they will no longer be bothered by our foolish pranks and questions. Also our deep gratitude for making our high school days cherished memories. Q Third, to Gerald, we leave our sincere thanks for the amusement he has provided for us during our high school career. Fourth, to the Freshmen and Sophomores, we leave our ability to stay out of tardy hall. To the individuals of the Junior Class we leave the following: Sherma Andersen leaves her continuous sense of humor to Marlene Lane. It pays to get a chuckle out of life. Beverly Bowman leaves her ability to get along without boys to Sue Thompson. It can be done, Sue. Bob Coffman leaves his ability to charm the teachers to Allen Buehler. You should try it some time, Allen. Ken Conlin leaves his safe driving ability to Raymond Krutzg those Chevies will last longer that way, Buzzie. Diane Cryer leaves Elbert Martin her ability to talk herself out of trouble,you'1l probably need it next year. Albert Decker leaves his ability to get to school every day and on time to Gay Steward, a few minutes' sleep won't matter, Gay. Dick Farmer leaves his good standing with the teachers to Glenn Horath. It really comes in handy when you hand in a late paper. ' ' Ken Ford leaves his ways with the women to Freddie Loercher. This will make it a lot easier, Fred. Dorothy Hildebrandt leaves her quiet ways to Maddy Van Hoosier. It sure helps to get along with the teachers. Leah Holohan leaves her ways with the servicemen to Maxine Wilson and Nancy Jeanne Watts. lt takes patience though, girls. Marcia Lane wills her job as editor of the annual to Barney Johnson. Good luck, Barney. Pat Lane leaves her slim figure to Nancy Turner. Watch those calories, Nancy. Myrna Lathim leaves her shyness to Pat Cx-yer. It's really not bad at all, Pat. Elwood Long leaves his brother, Duane, to carry on in his place. The teachers aren't really as bad as all that. Sue Morgan leaves her acrobatic abilities to Stephen Haughey. Once in awhile, it helps to break those falls on the gym floor. Mary Morgan leaves her will power to get an education to Stanley Rousey. A little work doesn't hurt anybody. Frank Taylor leaves. fNow we can live in peace.j Donald Lovan leaves his ability to study for better grades to Herby Hornke. Dick Yeast leaves his amusing remarks and hearty laughter to Betty Dennison. It may get you in trouble, but you'll get a lot of laughs. Jim Necessary leaves his ability to play basketball to Barbara Fann. It'll sure keep your figure trim, Barb. Mauda Steward leaves her talent of talking first and thinking afterwards to Mary Ball. It can be fun at the right times. Marilyn Van Hoosier leaves her knowledge of how to catch her man to Dicksy Baker. Good luck, Dicksy. We hope that all of these inheritances are received in the same good spirit in which they are given, and cheerfully appreciated by our heirs. C ASS PROPIIECY At last, my dream had come true, McLean was playing Atlanta for the State Championship. Ever since I played for the McLean Colts, and now being the coach, I had looked forward to this day. This was not the only reason for my excitement. Tonight I would see all my classmates of 1954. We had finally set a date for our long awaited reunion. My wife, the former Marilyn Van Hoosier, is very busy with the plans for the banquet which will climax the evening's events. She is having quite a time getting a baby sitter for our six boys. Dick Farmer, who was the star player on the Illinois Basketball team, and who had strictly remained aconfirmed bachelor was already back to McLean. He had made the trip from Champaign, where he is employed as assistant foot- ball coach. As I was sitting at my desk planning the starting five for tonight's game, my wife called to me and said I had a few visitors. Waiting for me in the living room were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sears, a.nd Mr. and Mrs. James Henderson. Mrs. Sears, the former Marcia Lane, and Mrs. Henderson, the former Diane Cryer had both traveled a great distance in order to attend the game and re- union. Marcia said they had a lovely dairy farm in Wisconsin and that their three children were at home with their Grandmother Sears. Diane told us she and Jim were living in Ohio on a 1,000 acre farm. Diane had brought her twins, and left the younger children at home with Aunt Pat. After a short visit, they decided to return to their hotel to make preparations for the game. I decided I would drive downtown to pick up the latest issue of the McLean Lens. As I walked into Holohan's Drug Store, I was surprised to see Leah and her husband George Usherwood. They had just arrived from Brazil, where George was supervising the building of a cross-country six-lane highway. Leah told us she had to leave her two sets of twins with a friend as she didn't.want to bring them the long distance. After a brief visit, Iwent to the airport to meet the 3:05 plane. The plane had just landed when I arrived. The first person I noticed was a well-dressed young lady whom I recognized as aformer classmate, Sue Mor- gan, now the wife of Eldon Johnson, a pitcher for the New York Yankees. As we were driving home, Sue told me that they were living in a lovely home in the suburbs of New York City. She said she had to leave her three boys with their nurse. I told them I was glad to see that they were doing so well. Upon arriving home, we noticed a sleek black Cadillac sitting in our drive. Coming out to meet us was Ken Ford and Jim Necessary. They informed us that they were running a huge Cadillac garage in Indiana. Jim said he was going to race in the Indianapolis Memorial Day Race this spring, and that Ken did all his mechanic work for him. After a short talk, they told us they would see us at the game and wished me luck. As it was getting late, I thought I should start getting ready for the game. The boys and I were to leave on the bus at 5 o'clock. My wife was going to drive so I persuaded Sue and Eldon to go with her. My six boys would stay at home and watch the ga.me on television. On our way to the game, I noticed an airplane circling the bus. I didn't think anything about it at that time. After we arrived at Huff Gymnasium and were about to get off the bus, I noticed a group of people standing near the door. I noticed a man in an- Air Force uniform with a young lady at his side. As I got closer, I recognized them as Pat and Ken Conlin. They asked me if I had noticed a plane circling my bus. I said yes, and then Ken said that it was he flying to the game. He and Pat had met Frank Taylor and Elwood Long at the Chicago Airport and brought them to the game. Ken said he was a Master Sergeant in the Air Force and he was making that his career. He and Pat were living with their family of four in San Francisco. As I noticed Frank and Elwood's uniforms, Icould see that they were doing quite well in the Navy. They told me they had a ten day leave and had come to see the game. With a good-bye and good luck, they sent me to coach my boys. As my boys ran out to warm up, I started for my usual seat. when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw Dorothy Hildebrandt and Beverly Bowman. They had come to wish me luck before the game. I couldn't talk long but they told me they were both working in the Chicago Research Hos- pital. Beverly said she was head Psychiatrist and Dorothv is the head Surgeon. They said they had been employed there since their graduation from Medical School. With a good luck to me, they returned to their seats. The first half of the game turned out fine. We were ahead 38-30. I took my boys to the shower room. After a brief talk, I sent them back to warm up for the second half. I was just. ready to leave when Albert Decker and Don Lovan walked in. Albert told me he was head Chemist at Yale University and had made the trip for the game. Don said he was a Diving Officer with the Atomic Submarine Division of the United States Navy. I had to hurry back to the game, so I told them I would see them back at my home. My boys made me a very proud guy. They won the State Championship by 18 points. After the game, a well groomed young lady, whom I didn't recognize at first, came up and congratulated me. She introduced herself as Sherma An- dersen, and then I knew her as one of my former classmates. She said she was a model in Hollywood for bathing suits by Pierre. She had left her husband and triplets at home in Hollywood. I told her I'd see her back at home. The bus ride home was a very enjoyable one. I invited all the boys to my house to join in the celebration. When we arrived there, two charming young ladies greeted me. I recog- nized them as former classmates, Myrna Lathim and Mauda Steward. Myrna told me she was the head executive of the Patricia Stevens Modeling School. She said she liked her work and had looked forward to the reunion. Mauda said she was stewardess for Trans-World Airlines. She was engaged to a pilot and was plan- ning to be married in the near future. She had come from Texas where she planned to make her home after her wedding. Upon entering the living room, I noticed a young couple seated on the sofa watching television on my new set. I recognized the young lady at once as an- other classmate, Mary Morgan. She and her husband Ralph had just arrived a few minutes before I had. As the gang was getting seated, Mary told me that she and Ralph were now living in New Orleans. The last person to arrive was Bob Coffman. He couldn't make it for the game, but he had heard it on his car radio as he drove here with his lovely wife from Denver, Colorado. He is engaged in the manufacture of airplanes, toy airplanes, that is, and is doing quite well. As I looked around the room, I could see all my classmates and how they had changed. It brought back the memories of our school years and the good times we had together. Richard Yeast Coach of McLean Colts Diane Sue, Eva Lou, Sally Ma rvalene 8: Joyce ,,r- bn Guess?

Chosen were: Fred Loercher, President, Nancy Jeanne Watts, Vice Presidentg Barbara Fann, Secretary, and Betty Dennison, Treasurer. Stephen Haughey, Byron Johnson, and Marlene Lane were our Student Council Representatives. We were very ably advised by Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford. During the Harvest Festival, the class entered a float entitled, Going on a Hayride . In addition to having lots of fun working on it, we received the second place award. Also in the fall, we had a bake sale which proved to be a financial success. Everyone was busy during basketball season, for we sold concessions and chances on cakes at all home games. Members of our class represented us in all sports and Maxine Wilson represented us in the cheering section. On Friday, November 12, the Junior Class presented the play, The Little Dog Laughed , which was a howling success, at least we thought so. We sponsored a Sweetheart Ball open to the public on February 13, in order to increase our funds. Saturday, May 8, was the date of the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Al Olson and his orchestra furnished the music for the prom. This was the greatest event of the year as we all looked forward to it and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. v ' O . oi 3 fx ..
