LEADERS T0 UBRUW I-'UREWURD MENDOTA HIGH SCHOOL-A place for good times and some that are not so good, for study and play, a place for meeting new friends and also for getting lost in the crowd when you're a be- wildered freshman. Gradually amid this maze of hustle, bustle and classrooms, emerge many individuals . . . people who make themselves known and whose names become familiar. The reason? The reason lies in the simple realm of participation. Leadership at MHS is developed through student interest and participation in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. The concern of these activities is to bring out the character and personality of the student and to make him into an individual who realizes his duties to his parents, teachers, fellow students, and the world into which he will soon emerge. By being active Troians here at MHS we be- come ready to soiourn in the outer world to take our places as members of our free society. With gratitude for the opportunities that have been afforded us, and the guidance that we have received in our years at MHS, we, the Class of 1964, challenge the future classes of Mendota High School to live the motto: Trojans Today, Leaders Tomorrow.

SINCE THE SCHOOLS in this county, as in all other counties, TULLY HEUBNER' MHS SeC'e Y'B'tSi eS5 Manage'- are supported by taxes, it is only reasonable that taxpayers should have a voice in the governing of the schools. This is the purpose of the school board. The board acts as a supervisor in school affairs and decides how tax money can best be spent to benefit the school. lt is to these men we owe our education. MR. HEUBNER, MHS business manager, is in his second year at MHS. He received a B.S. and M.S. in education at West- ern lllinois University. Mr. Heubner purchases supplies, files all reports, and is responsible for the maintenance of the school plant. This year he was especially busy, tor he had to make arrangements for the regional basketball tourna- ment. s t Y 3. V S I. W. PRICE. School Superintendent and MHS Principal. . D! BUSINESS llllll PRINCIPAL MR. PRICE is continually interested in the improve- ment of our school and not only is principal of MHS, but also is superintendent of the Mendota elementary schools. He makes a continuous effort ot keeping up with new educational methods and gen- erally improving the standings of our school. Mr. Price serves as a liaison between the school boards and the schools, and personally advises the boards on hiring new teachers. Mr. Price received his B.S. degree at the University of Illinois and his M.A. at the same school. Due to his outstanding ability to supervise, he is indeed a tribute to Mendota's fine school system. ihqmf mars V OFFICE SECRETARIES-Mrs. Mildred Cdnepa, and Mrs. Lucille Bader.

Mrs. Canepa is well lrnown about MHS by voice well as face, for it is her voice that is heard every day over the P.A. system. Mrs. Bader is our official boolclceeper. She writes checlrs and handles all ti- nancial records and statements. .Www ' s l ABOVE: MR. DOENIER looks to the future of MHS as Assistant Principal. SSISTHNT PRINCIPAL MR. DOENIER is genuinely concerned with the prosperity and well-being of all MHS students. He is always willing to talk with any student having a problem. Mr. Doenier received his B.A. degree at North Central College in Naperville, and his M.A. at the University of Wisconsin. Besides counseling students about any academic problems they may have, he schedules all ac- tivities and handles any disciplinary problems that may occur. Mr. Doenier is truly a credit to MHS. 111.24 wnlzk ioqmfhm to 11.240 97135 . Mrs. Radeteld is probably the best known of the secretaries, for besides being Mr. Doenier's private secretary she is in charge of the Student Affairs Office. Selling MHS game tickets is iust one of her iobs, and she can be seen at almost any time traversing the building on oHiice busi- ness. MRS. BETTY RADEFELD, Student Affairs Office Secretary. i l s i L L A Counselers shown leit to right are Miss Payne, Mr. Doenier and Mr. Morgan. JMIUUNSELING STAFFL4 udalfa 'mans . THE MAIN CONSIDERATION of the members of the Counseling Stott is the academic and social adiust- ment of MHS students. They supervise all phases ofthe high school testing program, help and advise students in planning their courses of study, and counsel them on personal as well as academic problems. College-bound students, too, receive special aid and information which will help them in applying for scholarships and selecting their school of higher learning. The counselors perform a service vital to all MHS students, and we, as seniors, would like to express our deepest appreciation to them. MR. KIM, a Korean English teacher, came to MHS on a Cultural Exchange Program similar to the AFS. Mr. Kim spent several weeks at the University of Texas before spending two weeks at MHS. He is shown here on the right of Mr. Quayle, speaking to an English class. While at MHS he told students ol his native country.

This class, the largest in the history of the school, found confusion in the locker sys- tems, in the crowded hallways, and in finding many class- rooms. With much patient guidance, they soon settled down and accepted their role as underclassmen. They elected the following class officers to lead them through their first year in high school: Joe Donahue, Jim Avery, and John Munson. The Freshmen constructed a float and chose Debbi Carr and Joe Donahue to represent them in the Homecoming court. The Freshmen started to boost their treasury skyward by leading the school in magazine sales. Jim I-'BESHMIIN CLASS mm to IIS MR. GOODEN'S HOMEROOM BACK ROW: D. Bodmer, S. Becker. K. Aries, W.

THE SOPHOMORE Class elected John Beetz, Martha Beetz, and Susan Radtke to fulfill the duties as class officers during the year. The most exciting part of their Sophomore year was receiving their long-awaited class rings. The Ring Committee was comprised of the follow- ing Sophomores: Dennis Montavon, Roger Carr, Sheila Schmidt, Ken Leiser, Jerry Northcutt, Arlene Faulk, Harvey Doenier, and Jackie Jacobs. The Sophomore Class constructed a prize winning float and was represented by Jackie Jacobs and Robert Krenz in the Homecoming court. The class of '66 enlarged their treasury by sponsoring two record dances after games, by starting a paperback book store, and by having a car wash the day of the Prom. The Sophomores proved eager to increase their funds in preparation for their Junior year. Jlw SUPIIII DRE CLASS www Pfl0i'2Cf4 MRS. SNUFFIN'S H O M E R O O M - BACK ROW: Mrs. Snuftin. Adviser: T.

THE JUNIOR CLASS voted for Bill Politsch, Frank Fouts, and Kathy Jacob as the class officers. They elected Jean Ann Bunton and Ernie Wilhelm to represent their class as attendants for the Homecoming court. The Juniors worked tirelessly to present the play The Mouse That Roared and to produce the Prom, choosing the theme 'lMagnolia Mist . The class raised a substantial amount of money for this, their biggest event, by working in the concession stand during the Regional basketball tournament that was held in Mendota. To add to their treasury they worked at a concession stand during one football game and held a coat-check during the regional. The Juniors sponsored the Christmas dance which was titled Santa's Ball . ln preparing for the Prom and many other activities, the class of '65 completed a very busy year.

For some these last four years have left a lasting impression, for others many events of the past four years are just vague memories. But for the benefit of all, let's go back into time and look at our last four years. Our first memorable event in MHS was our freshman orien- tation day-this day dedicated solely to us in which Student Council members showed us the enormous building and an- swered our bewildered questions. Next came the first day of school in which many of us ar- rived to class late with a when will I ever learn feeling. After school had been in full swing for a few weeks, student life became more routine. We, as green Freshmen, grouped forces and held our first class election. The results were: Chris Goebel, President, Carol Donohue, Vice-Presi- dent, and Carole Radtke, Secretary-Treasurer. Elected to represent our class in Student Council were: Dave Ultch, Kay Althaus, Paul Wagner, and Kathy Goebel. School went on as usual, and then Homecoming arrived in October. We grouped our forces once more and constructed our first Homecoming fioat only to have our hopes dampened by rain. As representatives for the Homecoming court, we chose Phil Wood and Cheri Garrison. Through the guidance and co-operation received by our Freshman advisers: Mr. Redman, chairman, Mr. John Rich- ardson, Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Bender, Mr. Morris, Miss Strouss, Mr. Morgan, and Miss Horsky, we were able to swell our treasury by being highest in magazine sales. Summer vacation came and passed, and once again we en- tered the hallowed halls of MHS. We had shed our old titles green Freshmen during the summer and received the new title of wise fool --Greek derivation for Sophomores. One of the most exciting events of our Sophomore year was planning, ordering, and receiving our Class Rings. Those serving on our ring committee were: Kay Althaus, Linda Bun- ton, Cheryl Knopp, Dennis Pohl, and the class officers. Our class officers were: Barb Carlson, President, Jim Musick, Vice-President, and Alice Beetz, Secretary-Treasurer. While awaiting the arrival of our Trojan trademarks, our festive Homecoming arrived. Once again our sophomore class banded together to build our fioat and chose Linda Bunton and Steve Dancey for our attendants in the court. Student Council representatives were: Kay Althaus, Kathy Goebel, Kristy Miller, Linda Bunton, and Don Baker. ln an effort to raise money to finance the Prom our junior year, we held a very fruitful Christmas Dance entitled Winter Won- derland. The successes of our sophomore year were made possible by the aid of our sophomore advisers: Miss Horsky, Mrs. Bender, Mr. Smith, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Morris, Miss Strouss, Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Douglas. Summer recess arrives and passes once again and we, now called upperclassmen, entered MHS as Juniors. Our junior year was an active one from the first bell in the fall of '62 to the last bell in the spring of '63. From the very beginning we were engaged in fund raising activties such as working at football games, making magazine sales, and sponsoring dances in order to fatten our treasury for the Prom. When Homecoming arrived we proved we deserved the right to be called upperclassmen by constructing a first-place fioat called We'll Stomp 'Em. We chose Sandy Kettleborough and Rick Bohn to represent us in the Court. The time seemed to fly so fast our junior year that before we knew it, we were in the act of producing our junior class play. After weeks of rehearsing and nursing a part, we were finally able to present to the public The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. Dobie Gillis' not so secret ambition to be about 6 feet tall and to date a glamorous doll involved him and his teenage friends in more complicated trouble than any teenager should have to face, but Dobie jplayed by John Kostourosl, Bonnie Willet jplayed by Barb Carlsonl, Helen Dixon lplayed by Jeri Johnsl, and Limbo Lamb lplayed by Alice Beetzl managed a satisfactory solution, and, best of all, made Mr. Gillis lplayed by Ron Wentzt proud of Dobie. Because of the excellent directing by Mr. Stephen Warren and the fine work contributed by our junior class members, the impression of the viewing-public was that our play was one of the best junior plays ever presented. After the play, we as juniors received no rest. For then began the planning of the biggest event of our junior year, our Prom. Through the guidance of our class officers and steering committee, we chose The Enchanted Sea as our theme. All will recall the beauty of the undersea world as the blue sea swayed restlessly above us. After the prom, the Elks-Lions Post Prom, and the Sunday picnics, all went home with physically exhausted bodies but everlasting memories. Our junior year was surely one to remember and much of its success could be contributed to the able class officers: Alice Beetz, President, Rich Weitzel, Vice-President, and Kay Price, Secretary-Treasurer, and the steering committee: John Kostouros, Dennis Pohl, Charlie Carter, Marc Beardsley, Dave Ultch, Bonnie Sheridan, and Cathy Harris. Our Student Council members played an active part in school affairs, planning Homecoming and other social events. Our iunior representatives were: Kathy Goebel, Don Baker, Linda Bunton, Jim Musick, Alice Beetz, Kay Althaus, and Paul Wagner. Credit should also be given to our sponsors: Mr. Baile, co-chairman, Mr. Bloomstrand, co-chairman, Mr. Waity, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Rebuck, Mr. Wedemeyer, Mr. Jordal, Mr. Gorecki, Mrs. Lipke, Miss Strouss, and Mr. Morris for their fine assists in all affairs. Summer vacation came and passed for some much too quickly, and for others too slowly. This time we entered MHS for our last year and could now assume the title of Seniors. We began the year under the leadership of the Big-4-John Kostouros, President, Charles Carter, Vice- President, Paul. Wagner, Secretary-Treasurer, and Don Baker, Student Council President. We once again were in swing of the school routine, however, this time it was easier to adiust, and our attitudes were a bit nonchalant-after all, now we're Seniors! While working hard at all football concession stands, our steering committee lCarole Radtke, Carol Donohue, Alice Beetz, Mary Lou Klinefelter, Dick Setchell, Chris Goebel, Fred Wagnerl and the class officers found time to make plans for our last Homecoming float, called Spin a Win which received second place in the iudging. As for the Court, our senior class was given the privilege of presenting the queen, Linda Bunton, and the King, Don Baker, plus four attendants: Cheryl Knopp, Cheri Garrison, Rune Gustavsen, and Charles Carter. Hardly had the excitement of Homecoming died down be- fore once again we found ourselves in preparation of the senior class play, l Remember Mama. As the cast was selected, Mama lCathy Harrisl, Papa lRune Gustavsenl, and their four children had their lives relived through the nar- rative play told in many places by Carole Radtke who played the role of Katrin. Never to be forgotten was the wonderful iob our Student Council did with such activities as: Homecoming, Bus chap- erones for out-of-town games, and the arranging of assem- blies, plus many more school functions. Since the senior class had the largest number of members, much planning fell on the shoulders of Don Baker, Linda Bunton, Jim Musick, Kathy Goebel, John Kostouros, Fred Wagner, Tom Guilfoyle, Cheri Garrison, and Rune Gustavsen, We as seniors found ourselves and Miss Breese working many long hours on our annual, the Atodnem. We even wondered if it would ever be finished. And now as Seniors we would like to thank our Advisers: Miss Payne, Miss Breese, Mr. Hill, Mr. Schroeder, Mrs. Gehler, Mrs. Doenier, and Mr. Murdock, for all the help that was given to us in our final year at MHS-especially during the regional basketball games and for the senior parties that were ar- ranged for us. We as Seniors will never forget our Foreign Exchange student from Oslo, Norway, Rune Gustavsen, for all the things he did for our class. And now to you, MHS, we are leaving, but our memories of you will linger and stay with us always. ,gil nmrrwzzq nf Fai dmlzlvzn, 7945 - 7964 www Aff REMEMBER Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land: When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more, day by day, You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember meg you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For it' the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

THE MENDOTA HIGH SCHOOL student body elects members of each class to represent them. These elected representa- tives, the foreign exchange student, and the four class presidents, who are non-voting ex oFticio members, form the Student Council. The Council is distinguished from other student organizations because it alone represents the whole school, and its actions affect each student. The Council meets for an hour every other Tuesday to dis- cuss school problems and proiects. A general meeting often breaks up into committees discussions. The Council is divided into three committees, all of which are very active, especially around Homecoming time. This year's Homecoming theme was Autumn Leaves, car- 'inthe 'n ried out in the decorations for the dance and even in the lovely fall weather. The Social Committee was in charge of planning the dance, the decorations, and the crowning of the king and queen at the dance. All council members helped to decorate the gym. The decorations were in fall colors and featured a large mural and a leaf-shaped band shell. The Ways and Means Committee took orders for Homecoming mums, and distributed them the day of the dance. The Student Problems Committee planned the pa- rade, the pep session after the parade, and the presentation of the court at the half-time of the game. To the Council, Homecoming represents the enioyment provided by good planning and hard work. STUDENT COUNCIL-BACK ROW: Mr. Baile, Adviser, T. Guiltoyle. C. Garrison, B. Politsch, I. Musick. F.

The Student Council undertook a number of projects other than Homecoming. lt did several things for the convenience and enioyment of the student body. The Council sponsored a Dress-up Day on the day before Christmas vacation, and this was followed up by spring Bermuda Day. A new record player was purchased, to be used by all organizations giv- ing cafeteria record dances. The sponsoring of buses to out-of-town games and the maintenance of a coat check at all home basketball games were two maior Council duties. The Student Council represented the student body in serving the community. It collected for the TB fund and the March of Dimes, and also sent Christmas gifts to needy children. The Student Council serves its school and its community.

HTUDNEM STM-'FS THE ATODNEM, which is the name given to the yearbook of Mendota High School, requires much time and work on the part of seniors, faculty, and the entire student body. Starting with the freshman year and progressing to the senior year, each class must work and save in order to bring forth their yearbook. As the senior class of i964 looks back, they remember the hard work that was done on concession stand nights, the selling of class play tickets, the sponsoring of dances, and the car-washes, all of which were necessary to finance the yearbook. Jim Musick, Ron Fischer, Jim Sams, Rich Weitzel, Milton Olson and John Kostouros will never forget ordering supplies and filling of the concession stand coolers before games. Without the help of all seniors the money-making proiect would not have been successful. As the Atodnem Staffs are organized, with each student serving on the staff of his choice, the work beings. Miss Breese, the Adviser, shows these students how to lay out the yearbook in the proper way and advises us that every- one must work hard in order to produce the final plan. This year the various editors were: Carol Foster, Editor-in-Chief, Nancy Eich and Elaine Vergin, Co-Editors of the Homeroom division, Richard Weitzel, Faculty Editor, Ruth Kazlowski, Activities Editor, and Jim Musick, Sports Editor. These edi- tors were responsible for scheduling and supervising the taking of all pictures as well as overseeing all phases of the actual production of the book. The Senior Class would like here to publicly thank Miss Breese for all the help and guidance that was needed in order to publish our yearbook.

THE NHTIUNHL H0 UR SUCIETY ,wwmvw THE PURPOSE of the local chapter of the National Honor Society is to achieve four ideals: to encourage the develop- ment of character, to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to promote worthy leadership, and to stimulate desire to render services. Sophomores are elected to probationary membership it they have maintained a B average. They must be voted upon by the faculty on the basis of their living up to the ideals of the Society. Students may be elected into full membership in their iunior or senior year providing the grade average is maintained. Holding office this year were President, David Ultch, Vice- President, James Musick, and Secretary-Treasurer, Carole Radtke. Miss Strouss was the sponsor of this group. A formal ceremony was held May 17. The program began with quotes from tour famous Presidents, George Washing- ton, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. The curtain opened and David Ultch gave an intro- ductive speech. Marilynn Klinefelter spoke on the most im- portant quality, which is leadership, using Washington as a true example. James Musick presented character as a re- quired trait. Abraham Lincoln possessed this important qual- ity. Jeri Johns told of Franklin Roosevelt and how he demon- strated service. Carole Radtke pointed out John F. Kennedy being an example of a scholar. He proved there is a place in our form of government for the scholar. Then the twenty- nine students who achieved full membership were an- nounced. There were thirty-one members of the sophomore class who were elected to probationary membership and took the pledge. The iunior and senior initiates were de- clared members of the society and were given pin emblems and certificates. These students make up our leaders of tomorrow. Q , N... A. il W? l L 41.

THE LATIN CLUB, as organized by Miss Breese, is open to all students having at least one year of Latin. lt is a member of the Junior Classical League of Illinois and The National Junior Classical League. This year about l30 members en- rolled. For the Homecoming parade John Beetz built an authentic Roman chariot. At the October meeting to initiate the fresh- men, colored slides of Roman life were shown, refreshments were served by sophomore members. The December buffet supper was followed by a talk by Miss Evelyn Lamps and a program featuring the Saturnalia. Jim Morris, Don Knuckey, and John Munson represented MHS in State Latin contests. Jim received superior ratings at both District and Sectional and went to State in May. Don received Superior District and Excellent Sectional ratings. John won an Excellent District award. The annual Roman Banquet in late April was followed by an open house for all faculty and parents. Exhibits followed the theme for Latin week: Latin and the Vocations . Nearly one hundred members attended Chicago Latin Day at the Planetarium and Natural History Museum in May. This is a memorable occasion each year. ,gene f ,ff x -md LATIN CLUB OFFICERS Susan Rcxdlke, Scriba: Arlene Fuulk, Co-Consul: Mike Iohnson, Co-Consul. Marcy Yenerich. Quaestor.

CHEERLEADERS imap Achonl THE CHEERLEADERS, who were under the direction of Mrs. Gehler the first part ofthe year, and Mrs. Doenier the last half, have done a fine iob. They kept the spirits of the student body alive in a somewhat diffi- cult year. The freshman cheerleaders prac- ticed hard and cheered at all the home games of the freshmen and iunior varsity. The senior cheerleaders have a class at the end of the year to help all new cheer- leaders and the ones that have been cheering. After these classes each one has ci try-out before the student body. The varsity cheerleaders took a trip to Illinois State University at Normal, in the fall for a cheering clinic. SOPHOMORE CHEERLEADERS-BACK: Vicki Seidell.

The requirement for membership in the club is a minimum of one year of a business course. This year has been a busy one for the oFficers and members of the club. The first thing on the agenda was a trip to Moser's Secretarial School and the Patricia Stevens Finishing School, both in Chicago. Next the members of the club selected a needy family as a Christmas project and each donated food, clothing or toys. This proved as a truly rewarding proiect. Because of decreasing funds the mem- bers decided to hold a bake sale, which went quite well. They also sponsored two dances, one featuring the Hi- Lighters, a live band from LaSalle. For their February project they made a trip to the new and modern Illinois Agricultural Building and the Brach Candy Company in Bloomington. The members also received a chance to gather information on the Rockford School of Business when two representatives were scheduled to speak at the March meeting. ln the April meeting new otiticers were elected and there was also a party given for Mrs. Gehler, who will leave the halls of MHS this year. And as the close ofthe year came the WCC held the annual banquet and there distributed the Awards.

They all work at local places. The boys have an advantage, as they work a half a day, morning or afternoon, and attend school a half day. This gives them two credits towards their graduation, and also a trade to learn. At the end of the year the club has their annual D.O. and employer-employee dinner. lt was held this year on April 29. Since Diversified Occupations is run like a club, they must have officers. This year their officers were: President, Ron Truckenbrod, Vice President, Tony Dayton, Secretary-Treas- urer, Ron Carr.

Mechanic FUTURE I-'RRMERS THE PURPOSE of the typical MHS organization or club is to create a social environment for people with the same interests. Our chapter of the Future Farmers of America serves a dual purpose. lt creates a social environment for people interested in agriculture, but it also gives these people practical vocational training in the field. lt is one ot the least publicized, yet one of the most active organizations at MHS. Unlike most other clubs it competes in chapter, state, and national contests. Twenty-three new members entered the activities this year. lt is open to all male students enrolled in agricultural classes and having a proiect approved by Mr. Morris, the agriculture instructor and chapter adviser. The members meet with their adviser the first Tuesday of every month to plan their activities. The oFFicers are elected at the end of each school year to take oHice the following. This year the oFficers elected were: President, Wilbur Stamberger, Vice-President, Larry Henkel, H muh! mwbwnmcnf Secretary, Phil Corcoran, Treasurer, Dale Sondgeroth, Re- porter, Duane Sommerville, and Sentinel, Ken Doran. To give an idea of their activities, here are a few that took place this year: September 25, Leadership Training School at Leland, October 9-l l, National F.F.A. Convention, No- vember I9, Sectional Seven Grain Show at La Salle, De- cember 5, Parent and Son Banquet, March 19, Combined Section Six and Seven Public and Extemporaneous Speak- ing Contest at Shabbona, May 7, Section Seven Livestock Judging Contest at Serena, June 9-l l, State F.F.A. Fair at Ottawa. These are only a few, there are many other planned events. The club's motto sums up the purpose and ideals of the organization: 'learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve. FFA MEMBERS-BACK HOW: P. Betz, D. Betz, D, Stevenson, I.

In order to stay eligible to remain in FHA the girls have to take a local initiation test and earn a total of fifteen points during the year by at- tending meetings and working on special committees. This year the chapter mothers are Mrs. Weyagand and Mrs. Black, advisers are Mrs. Fischer and Mrs. Lipke. One of the first proiects of the year was their annual pic- nic which gives the older girls a chance to get acquainted with the newly ioined members. This year the picnic was rained out, and it had to be held in the Home Economics room. The girls worked hard on their float for the Home- coming parade, choosing the theme We're Cooking Up a Victory. Around Christmas time the girls had fun participating in Santa Claus Week. All the girls drew somebody's name for their Santa Claus Sister. Then they wrote notes to each oth- er giving clues to their identity. After a week this excitement was ended by a party where the girls exchanged gifts and revealed who they were. The club also entered the Christ- mas season on a serious note. The members brought canned food to give to some of the needy families in town. The' initiation mother and daughter tea was held in January. At this meeting Rune Gustavsen, our foreign exchange student, told the girls about Norway. ln February Daddy-Date-Night was a fun-filled evening. Each of the girls brought her father to the meeting. Recrea- tion was the high light of the evening, and guests could play eiter badminton or basketball. A lunch then was served for all. At one meeting the girls were shown films on mental ill- nesses. After the film, Mrs. Rollins discussed the different signs of mental illness that the girls could watch out for in our community. The April meeting proved to be of interest to all the girls. Mrs. Roth gave a talk on hair styling and cosmetics. At this meeting officers for the following year were elected. For their last meeting the new officers were installed, and the members also had a style show display- ing the outfits that they had made as students in Home Economics classes.

SE lllll CLIISS PLIIY - 'U M THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY, I Remember Mama, adapted from Kathryn Forbe's book Mama's Bank Account, scored a huge success with its sincere, sensitive re-enactment of the life of a Norwegian family in San Francisco in l9lO. I Remember Mama is the story of how Mama guided her family through the gradual process of Americanization. Mama ICathy Harrisl appeared as a warm, tender, witty, and completely irresistible person. Although rehearsals are sometimes hurried and frantic and the pressure on the cast is extreme, participation in a class play always leaves cherished memories with the members of the cast. Every play has highlights and blunders that go un- noticed by the audience. For instance, Barb Landers lTrinaI will never forget when she failed to retrieve her feather boa from the stage. llt proved essential for the next scene.l Nor will Norman Porter and Jack Flaherty ever forget how they sat in partial darkness during their scene because the light- ing crew goofed . Diane Mathesius Uennyl will always re- member the embarrassment of stepping on the hem of her dress as she climbed the steps to the stage. Everyone will remember the untimely falling apart of the old stove as Cathy Harris IMamaI went to use it. Rune Gustavsen IPapaI with his quick wit and calmness came to the rescue of sever- al cast members when they forgot their line, or as in one case, skipped an entire scene. IThe audience who viewed the play on the first night never did find out if the cat re- coveredll All members of the family and every member of the cast, no matter how small his part, gave such excellent performances that each individual should be mentioned with praise.

The Juniors transported their audiences to the tiny Duchy of Grand Fenwick as they presented The Mouse That Roared as their class play on April 9 and lO. A complicated production, the play had a cast of 37 and a variety of scenes varying from the palace at Grand Fenwick to a TV studio in New York. Although it was a comedy, the iunior play featured several very difficult adult roles. Many Tully Bascomb ., Tourists .. ..,.,.., Count Mountjoy David Benter .,,, Ann .. ,,.,, .. .... Page . ..

Mr. Stephen Warren minor characters also found that their parts involved diFticult characterization. The cast members proved to be equal to the task, however, both in maior and supporting roles. A favorite group ot minor characters was the squad of Fen- wickian bowmen led by Bill Politsch. This group earned plaudits as they invaded New York on their mission for the Duchess Gloriana, who was magnificently played by Jean Jacob. Direction was by Mr. Steve Warren. The royal court of Grand Fenwick shows disbelief when Tully Bascom announces the successful invasion of the United States of America. RESOLVED: That Social Security benefits should be extended to include complete medical care. The above resolution was the topic for debate in the 1963- 64 season. This year the debate class and the debate team were closely associated, as all class members participated in some form ot contest. The squad traveled some far distances this year, necessitat- ing very early rising. Distances ranged from as far south as Bradley University at Peoria to Sterling High School away up north. Leslie Koeper, Gene Rickard la promising freshmanl, Phil Carlson, Doug Carnahan, and Dick Setchell made up the Varsity team. Trading spots on the novice team were: Rich- ard Radtke, Martha Jones, Clayton Deaner, Geraldine Robin- son, Bruce Dinges, Billy Erbes, and Candy Faber. Team coach and class instructor, Mr. Schroeder, did an ex- cellent iob in preparing the beginners in the ways of debate. All are looking forward to a very promising year next year, with a number of experienced debaters returning to the team. To the members of the varsity squad the year has indeed been both enioyable and interesting. They learned to think on their feet and gained much confidence and poise, thanks to the coaching and advice of Mr. Schroeder. NOVICE DEBATE-BACK ROW: R. Radtke: B. Erbes: C. Decmer: MIDDLE ROW: C.

I REMEMBER MAMA, was selected this year as the Contest Play. In a shortened form from the senior class play, it portrayed a warm family life. The play was directed by Mr. Warren, and he was assisted by Carol Foster, who served as student director. The cast was comprised of Mama-Cathy Harris, Papa-Rune Gustavson: Katrin-Carole Radtke, Christine-Barb Carlson: Dagmar-Su Slick, Nels-Fred Davisg and Elizabeth the Cat. The first presentation of the play was at Dixon in a Con- ference meet, and there the group received a first place rating. The group then traveled to Ottawa to compete in the Regional meet and there placed fourth. At Dixon both Cathy and Rune were placed on the All-star cast. DURING THE year, there are numerous speech events in which students may particpate. This year only four students went into the individual speech events. They had various topics ranging from radio speaking to dramatic readings. Mr. Schroeder, the speech instructor, helped the students, through his advising the individuals participating in the events.

The high points of the year were the annual operetta put on by the choir and the Fine Arts Concert. The former was entitled Check Your Worries and proved to be a huge success. The latter was an oratorio, The Redeemer by Martin Shaw, sung by the Choir. Other activities in which the Choir and choruses partici- pated included a football half-time show, the N.C.l.C. Festival, the State Music Contest, the Spring Concert, and assemblies for the student body. For the first time the Choral Department took a field trip to Chicago. This trip included seeing the stage production of the Broadway musicale f I How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. gf 'f S' 2 I . , 2 .. ,... ...L F jim flwlzal nf qond ' .

THE CHORUS Department under the direction of Mr. Rebuck, consists of many groups other than the largest, Choir. The other various groups are: Girls' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and both the Boys' and Girls' PE Choruses. The PE Choruses are made up of students who take their PE studyhalls and go to the chorus room to sing and rehearse for their next concert. The Mixed and Girls' choruses have much more time to practice for they meet more regularly. These groups throughout the year perform in many of the student assemblies, Christmas and Easter Concerts, and various activities that are given.

Although the team lost all of the games they played, these young men showed many qualities which are indispensable in the the game of life. The Atodnem Sports Staff this year would like to use the ideas expressed by the head varsity football coach, Ted Lewis, ideas which he gave to the student body at the football awards assembly. As everyone knows, Coach Lewis said, it is a lot easier to win football games than it is to lose them. These young men came to practice every Monday with a heavy feeling of defeat in their hearts. lt takes a person with strong character to keep his spirit up as each of these young men did. And even the fact of defeat after defeat did not make the team give up in their striving for victory. These young men played as true sports- men should. Even though they lost, they were good sports. Coach also stated that the school spirit displayed through- out the season was something to be commended. At every game there was a very good following of the fans. This tremendous school spirit which the student displayed during the season was important in the quest for victory. SEASON'S RESUME IN THE FlRST game of the season, the St. Bede Bruins tallied 27 points to Mendota's I3. ln the second quarter, Phil Wood snagged a pass from Chris Goebel to pull Mendota within 7 points at the half. Phil Wood scored again in the fourth quarter on a 30 yard pass from Don Baker throwing at the haltback slot. The second game of the season saw the Trojans fall to the Ottawa Pirates. Although the score was 38 to 6, the Trojans showed evidence of better play. The only Trojan score was on a 64 yard pass from Chris Goebel to John Whitmore. The first game of North Central Conterence competition saw the Trojans fall to Genesee. ln the first half the defense was unable to stop the Maple Leaf's scoring threats. ln the second half, however, the defense looked lilce a different unit as they held the Maple Leafs to 60 yards on the ground and l7 in the air. As the final gun sounded, the Trojans were down 29 to 2. This year's homecoming game proved to be dismal. The fine Rochelle team ended up with 39 points to Mendota's 6. Although the offense couldn't get rolling, the defense was due credit as they forced five Rochelle fumbles and recovered four of them. Those who did a com- mendable defensive job were: Bill Politsch, Don Fischer, Chris Goebel, Fred Wagner, Don Baker, and Rich Bohn. VARSITY ENDS AND BACKS-BACK HOW: Coach Lewis, D. Baker, C.

Af Princeton the Troian defense allowed only two touchdowns, the lowest score made by any Troian opponent this year. The offense also showed considerable improvement as the Troians gained 85 yards on the ground. Fred Wagner set up Mendo'ra's only touchdown on a I6 yard gain from a 'Falre punt. The touchdown play was a pass from Chris Goebel to Phil Wood. The weelc after, fhe Troians played a very commendable game against Spring Valley. Although the score diCln'+ show it, the game was very closely fought. Jim Andrews scored three 'touchdowns +0 lead the scoring attack. A+ the beginning of the fourth period the Troians were down three points. But a 2l point fourth quarfer 'For Hal! proved disastrous fo the Trojans attempt 'For vic+ory. The following weelr the Troians met another team which had not won all year, Rock Falls. This was an eventful night as both teams were striving 'for their first victory. But ihe Troians were on the short end of a 20 to 6 score. The only Troian score came on a pass play from Chris Goebel to Don Fischer.

Don Balmer, Chris Goebel and Don Fischer each had seven tackles.

I-'BUSH-SUPH I-'00TB TWENTY-FIVE sophomores reported in for the 1963 season. This year the Jaytees had a new coach, Larry Martens. The boys came to practice with the idea that they would give Coach Martens a very successful first ieason here at MHS. Their spirits were dampened by their first loss at the hands of Saint Bede by a score of 19-6. Their second bid for victory was again stopped, this time by Ottawa by a score of 20-O. The Jaytees traveled to Geneseo with the hopes of their first victory. They were again set back, this time by the margin of a PAT, 7-6. With the approach of the Home- coming game with Rochelle, the Jaytees' spirits began to rise and they were determined to win this important game. They did win and gave Coach Martens his first victory at MHS, by a score of 7-O. The Jaytees scored their second victory in the game with the Princeton Tigers, winning by a score of 13-12. At this point the Jaytees lost two of their starting Iinemen when Duane Yost and Ernie Jauch moved up to the Varsity. This movement weakened the 'Forward wall considerably and Stevens, H. Weber, L.

Even though the Jaytees ended up with a 2-6 record we are predicting great accomplishments for these boys next year as members of the varsity squad.

THE 1963 TROJET TEAM, under the coaching of Gooden and Gorecki, ended their six game season with a 1-4-1 record. After they lost to St. Bede 20-13, and to Streator 12-O, they showed signs of improvement as they battled the Rochelle team to a scoreless tie. With this tie, they held hopes for coming victories, but lost the next game to Dixon 13-7, and then to Rock Falls by a score of 6-O. However, the team spirit was not yet dampened. With their last game of the season they came out on top of Princeton with a score of 20-O. From a thirty-seven-man team, sixteen young men saw the greatest amount of action. They were: Jack Wagner, Dave Martin, Kevin Wagner, Jerry Aughenbaugh, Bill Zolper, Tom Marmion, Don Palmatier, Ken Aries, Mike Jett, Joe Donahue, Gary Druen, Rick Bell, Ed Piller, Jim Strouss, Hurb Champlin, and Dave Underwood. SAM MURDOCK, equipment manager, has one of the hardest and most tedious jobs that anyone could have. He is thanked for his diligent work and effort, tor he is a very valuable asset to the sports division of Mendota High School. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL-BACK HOW: Coach Gooden, D. Doran, B. Zolper, E.

VARSITY BASKETBALL waaledbyfluula 502611 ALTHOUGH the 1964 Trojan Basketball record of 3-19 is not a very impressive one, judgment cannot and should not be made entirely on how many wins a team has during a season. Faced with the almost constant heartaches of defeat and dim prospects for the coming tilt, the team exhibited much courage during practices and all games. No matter what the score was, the team always gave their very best efforts. lt is much more important that a team give full effort than that they win games to be victorious in life's game. The Trojans opened up their home season with an easy victory over the Earlville Raiders by a score of 65-36. This was the first victory for the Trojan team against one loss the week before to Amboy, 69-68. Phil Wood led the scoring with a total of l6 points, followed by John Whitmore with l4 points for the night. Joe Loebach contributed 19 re- bounds of the Trojan's 44 for the game. The following week, the Trojan's bid for victory in their first conference game against the Princeton Tigers was stopped when they were halted by a 64-52 score. The Trojan attack held up in the first half and for a while in the third quarter, but, as fate would have it, the Trojan strength began ebbing away toward the latter half of the game and the Tigers came out on top with a lr2 point margin. The MHS Men of Troy ran their way to their first con- ference victory against the Hall Red Devils in their second home game by an impressive 90-84 score. The win was the 27th in a row for the Troian's home record. The high scoring for the Troian team was evenly distributed between four members who scored in double figures. Phil Wood led the scoring attack with 24 points while Chris Goebel and John Whitmore followed with T9 and l8 points respectively. The long Mendota home winning streak was snapped by The Geneseo Maple Leafs in a heated contest that went down the final moments before the Leafs pulled ahead to a 7l-66 victory. Although the Trojan quintet lost the game, it was one of the most exciting of the season.

The Jaytee lettermen were: Ken Leiser, Dennis Hinkle, Bob Weber, Jim Chandler, Ernie Jauch, Joe Donahue, .lerry Northcutt, and Mike Kerns. FBUSH BASKETBALL THE MHS TROJET TEAM ended up with a 3-9 record. Under the coaching of Sam Snuftin and with help from Larry Martens, the freshmen gained in their development of fun- damental basketball skills. But because ofthe lack of height lmost teams averaged six inches taller than the Troietsl, the team didn't win more games. Among the boys who saw the most action were Rick Bell, who was leading and most con- team, Kevin Wagner was the leading rebounder. Jim Reeder was the leading free throw scorer and probably the most improved of the players. .loe Donahue saw action with the frosh-soph team, participating in many of the games.

Mr. Gorecki approached the green with a large group of confident boys. This manifests a growing in- terest of this popular spring sport. With Craig Copper re- turning as a lone letterman, and other boys receiving experi- ence in past years, the team can look forward hopefully to a fine season and winning record. THIS YEAR'S baseball team looks forward to a successful year. With the loss of the diamond at Moose Field, the ma- iority of the games will have to be played out of town until a new diamond is built. As we go to press, the team has won its first game 6 to 5 over Walnut. Bill Corrigan pitched the game, and Chris Goebel homered to drive in two runs. Others who should see a lot of action this year are: John Kostouros, Dennis Pohl, and Dave Whitmore. LL- ACK OW: M . M. B : P. P : C. G b l: D. P hl: B. St ns: P. Wood: I. Whitmore: Burkart: D.

Leading the Troian Thinclads will be returning varsity members Don Baker, Steve Dancey, Rich Becker, Jerry Donahue, Fred Wagner, and Rich Wuiek. Roger Cardot, Calvin Brokaw, and Dale Key? should also be valuable assets to this year's squad. The Varsity Track records listed in the 1961 Atodnem have but one change. The previous record of l2'3 in the pole vault was broken and set at l2'3 M by Don Baker. Rich Wuiek broke his own record of 4:59 to a 4:46 timing for the mile in Frosh-Soph competition.
