Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1952 volume:

THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1952 PROUDLY PRESENTS THE CHIEF of 19 5 2 A record of the year for MEREDOSIA HIGH SCHOOL of Meredosia, Illinois We wish to thank all of the sponsors who made this edition possible. dedication Dedication We, the Senior Class of 1952 take extreme pleasure in dedicating this yearbook to you personally, Mr. Frank Stullers. The Senior Class was unanimous in their vote to dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Stullers. Who could be more loyal to our school than he is? He is the first one to arrive in the morning and the last to leave at night. There never is a favor too great for him to f ul If ill. He always has a kind word for everyone. There are hundreds of things we like about Mr. Stullers, but I think the one we like best is his smile. No matter where he is or what he is doing, whether it be pushing his broom or helping us eat popcorn, he is always seen with a smile. He will always be well thought of by us. 3 The Senior Class of ’52 faculty C. C.

JOYCE VORTMAN NORMA TWEF.DY 13 Senior Class Prophecy On this sixth day of February 1952, I do hereby with a half sound mind prophesy the future of my classmates. As I gaze in- to my crystal ball, and with the power of a fortune teller falling upon me, I see the breaking of another year February 6, 1962. We are all invited to the home of Mrs. Norma Boyd who is at the present time living in Paris, France. We were all excited to see what had become of all our classmates. Earline Thurmon, who assumes her maiden name as a great singing star flew in from Hollywood leaving her husband, Mr. Bittle, back home to take care of their daughter who is now two. From the other coast flew Miss Kay Looman who gave up marriage to keep on her great career of modeling in New York. Miss Eva Myers received a ten hour pass from the WAVES to be with us at this reunion. She too has given up marriage for a career. She told us of her won- derful travels. Tony Simon and Bill Watkins were already in France with their wives and fam- ilies. Tony as engineer and Bill as his assistant, had just finished building a bridge from the U. S. across the ocean to France. Teddy Rausch and Howard Hall both arrived late of course, but we excused them when we found out they had just captured a whale bare handed,---it being the largest one ever captured. Going on around the ballroom, Homer Copenhaver and his little French bride and 1 almost had a collision. He was all breathless as he told me he had just rushed here after their wedding. Homer said they could not postpone the wedding because it had been set for seven years. To my left I see Myra Seymour, famous de- signer and model of Paris evening gowns. Myra just told me that she was giving up her career for marri- age in June. Of course all of us couldn’t be that famous in careers, but I see a few have been famous in married life. Mrs. Marilyn Alhorn after two years of teaching grade school children, married and moved to Florida, where they are raising their two children Bruce and Linda. Evelyn Knight Long and Rosalie Fuelling Vanderpool both majored in Home Economics and are now putting it into good use in married life. Rosalie lives on a farm near her own graduation place Meredosia, Illinois. Evelyn waited on Donald to get back from service and is now raising her family on a ranch out West. Beulah Schmitz and Marcia Preston both have a look of com- plete happiness. They say it’s wonderful being married to captains of boats so that they can travel on the water when they like. They both agree their children love the water. Millie after working nine years as a secretary and playing the field, decided her boss was the one and only and married him last June. They stopped here taking several hours off from their honeymoon. Marcella Davies sent her regrets for not being able to attend but her work with Moores’ Detective Office kept her occupied on a murder case. Melba Lacey seemed to be in a hurry to get back to Africa where Winston is stationed. She seems to be having quite a time with the twins Donnie and Connie. “What, a long distance call for me? I’m wanted for a special operation back in Dayton, Ohio? I’ll be there if I can get Tony Simon to get my rocket started. I'll be there in 10 minutes. I’m sorry this ends our reunion, but I’ll tell you what, you’re all invited to a wedding be- tween a nurse and a doctor in June. Be seeing you all there. Bye.” Joyce Vortman Class Prophets Norma Tweedy Kay Looman Class History When we started our career at M. H. S., September 1948, 27 answered the roll call. They were: Marcella Davies, Beulah Floyd, Melba Fricke, Rosalie Fuelling, Millie Joseph, Evelyn Knight, Kay Looman, Marilyn Mayes, Eva Myers, Loretta Nunn, Marcia Pond, Myra Seymour, Ruby Staake, Earline Thurmon, Norma Tweedy, Joyce Vortman, Tom Bartlett, Harold Beddingfield, Homer Copenhaver, Francis Floyd, Howard Hall, Jack Kleinschmidt, James Mauldin, Ted Rausch, Tony Simon, Stanley Walker, William Watkins. We were happy to have Russel Waters join our class. In our Freshman year we lost two students. Jack Kleinschmidt moved to Peoria and James Mauldin moved to Alabama. In 1949, our Sophomore year we lost 7 class members. Loretta Nunn, Francis Floyd, and Russel Waters grew weary of teachers and classrooms. Tom Bartlett decided to try the Navy, where he received his high school diploma. Stanley Walker moved to Mt. Sterling, and Ruby Staake moved to Chapin. In 1950 we were very happy to be known as “Juniors”. Jerry Miller started his Junior year with us, but soon grew tired of the “Brain Factory.” We worked very hard on our Junior class play, entitled “Say it With Music”. We had a bake sale almost every Saturday to raise money for the Junior and Senior Banquet and Dance. The theme of the Banquet and Dance was “Moonlight and Roses”. Just before Christmas we received our class rings of course, like every other class we thought ours were the prettiest. In 1951 we started our last year at M. H. S. Earline Thurmon did not join us this year as she moved to Pittsfield. On October 18, Beulah Floyd changed her name to Schmitz and on January 20, Melba Fricke changed her name to Lacey. We now have 18 students: Marcella Davies, Beulah Floyd Schmitz, Melba Fricke Lacey, Rosalie Fuelling, Millie Joseph, Evelyn Knight, Kay Looman, Marilyn Mayes, Fva Myers, Marcia Pond, Myra Seymour, Norma Tweedy, Joyce Vortman, Homer Copenhaver, Howard Hall, Ted Rausch, William Watkins, and Tony Simon. Millie Joseph moved tojersey- ville at the end of the first semester, but she will graduate with us. At the time this is being written we are discussing our Senior class play and class trip.

H. S. This was our Junior and Senior Prom which had “Moonlight and Roses” for its theme. At 6:00, in the study hall, we gave a banquet for the Seniors. Some music was played and “Moonlight and Roses” was sung by Norma Tweedy, Earline Thurmon, Marilyn Mayes, and Kay Looman. They were accompanied by Joyce Vortman. The prom started at 9:00 with music played by George Lynn. In keeping with the theme, the gym was decorated with pastel colors. In the center of the gym we had a little garden surrounded by a picket fence, with a moon shining down on it. There were trellises at each corner and the middle of the north wall of the gym. These trellises were covered with artificial roses. It was beautifully decorated and deserved many compliments. ✓ 17 Class Poem of 1952 We remember on this last day, Four years of work, four years of play Four years of happiness and being gay Which now we find have passed away. We stand with tear dimmed eyes As we say our last good-byes To friends and other close ties And remember those many sighs. Although we thought we couldn’t wait Until this graduation date It’s true that now we wonder why We ever hurried toward this good-bye. We roam the corridors for this last time And know these steps no more we’ll climb We go to our classrooms one by one And think of all that we have won. Let’s be gay Chase the blues away As we’ve had our share of friends and fun Why should we be sad because our duty’s done? We must remember that we’re not parting forever For we’ll meet again in some September And so we say, as we graduate this May In M. H. S. we’ve really been gay. Even though we’re far apart, You’ll still be in my heart. Joyce Vortman To each of our teachers we say farewell s we hear (for the last time) the classroom bell We’re thankful for all that’s been done for us A.nd treasure the memory of the old school bus. We were Freshmen, so noisy and young We could hardly bear when the bell was rung Then we became Sophomores with constructive plans And we began to fit in with school demands. We were Juniors, upperclassmen hard workers yet gay I know we all remember the Junior prom and play Then Seniors with all our restlessness, capers, With the annual, play, graduation, and school papers We were so busy we wished we were through. But now that we are, we all seem blue. Now the tears really begin to flow As we sav our last partings, and know This is the end of high school Where we have learned the golden rule. Our high school days are over and past We’re really sorry they couldn’t last. Now a new light shines down to dry tears. We’re on our way to new careers. Why are we so sorry and sad? 1 know the departure seems bad We re not the first class nor yet the last For many others have left in the past 18 COMPLIMENTS OF pre4 l Cline’s Furniture and Undertaking Beardstown, Illinois Jacksonville Automobile Dealers Association Mr. Dick Leeser Mt.

The victory gave the Dosh tribe a stronger hold on third place in the 3-C conference. These two teams now have but one more league game to play. Charles Aufdenkamp caught pass- es to score all three of Chapin’s touchdowns. Simon charged 55 yards on a flea- flicker pass play to score for Mere- dosia on the first play from scrim- mage. Tweedy circled left end from eight yards out to give the Indians a 12 to 0 first quarter lead. Chapin drove to the Meredosia one yard stripe in the first period but fumbl- ed. Mel Engelbrecht flipped a 22 yard pass to Aufdenkamp to score for Chapin in the second frame. Engel- brecht later heaved a 40-yarder to the sophomore end in the same per- iod and the score was deadlocked 12 to 12 at halftime. Simon, who seems to run best when the going is toughest, scored twice for the visiting club in the third quarter and gave Howard Savoie’s outfit a lead that it never relinquished. Simon’s first gallop was for 22 yards and the second went 15. Tweedy scored twice for the In- dians in the fourth canto. He skip- ped around right end for 35 yards on the first one, then scooted 15 yards around the other flank for the second. Ron Taylor passed to Aufden- kamp from the five yard marker for Chapin’s final touchdown. The little Bearcat kicked the two-point con- version to end scoring. Meredosia’s record for the season is 4-1-1, Chapin has a 2-3-1 mark. Meredosia Lineup Ends - Watkins, Dickman Center - Yeakel Quarterback - McDaniel Halfback - Simon, Tweedy.

INDIANS ON WARPATH FOR ROUTT Coach Howard Savoie brings a rpugh, tough Meredosia Indian foot- ball squad to Jacksonville this Thursday evening to engage the un- defeated Routt Rockets in a 3-C conference six-man football scrap. Meredosia started the season ra- ther unimpressively by tying the Bluffs Bluejays 6-6. With Tony Simon, a hard-running halfback, setting the pace, the Indians next trounced Chandlerville 44-6 and came through by knocking off fa- vored Arenzville last week. When we asked Coach Savoie to line up an offensive unit for a pic- ture, the above is what we got. How- ever, you can bet that 230 pound center Layton Yeakel will play lots of ball Thursday night even though he isn't in the picture. The line, from left to right, is Charles Tweedy, Leland Hardwick and Bill Watkins. Backs are Ted Rausch, Jim McDaniel and Tony Simon. Here is a bit of action in the title bout. Mercdosias giant Layton Yeakel (24 goes high into the air alt ft rebound. Yeakel was one big reason why Coach Clyde Baulos’ Indians—rated to finish no better tha seventh in the meet—came through to claim second place honors.

We all piled in cars and were en route to Jackson- ville, Beardstown, Mt. Sterling, Bluffs, and of course Meredosia, to get advertisements for it. We wish to thank all our advertisers, and hope they will gain as much from their ads as we have gained from them. Our annual certainly could not have been possible with- out these. After seeing many annual pub- lishers, one finally convinced us his was the best, and we signed a contract with Walsworth Brothers on November 1 . Since then we have been busy finding material and ar- ranging for pictures to be taken. Mr. Murray came down on January 14, and we all got out of classes one more day to have our pictures taken. On picture day do the few mirrors around this old school get a work out. Since that date, Mr. Frank Grammar was seen around school a couple more days snapp- ing shots every time we turn around. We, as a staff, wish to thank Mr. Grammar for his kind- ness in taking these pictures for us. We wish to thank Mr. McCarty too, who has also helped with the pictures. On Monday, February 26, the last of our pictures came back from the studio, and as everyone will pro- bably remember, the Seniors were all running from one place to an- other, working desperately on the annual. At this time of writing, we’re still hoping that we get this done by March 1, so that you will have your annual by the end of school. It really has been interesting and fun putting out this annual though, and we hope you will enjoy it. 40 Chief Staff WAR WHOOP STAFF F.ditor:.......................F.va Myers Assistant Fditor . .

Circulation Staff Production Staff Kay Looman Ted Rausch Homer Copenhaver Howard Hall Rosalie Fuelling Marcella Davies Marcia Joan Pond Beulah Schmitz The last week of the month is time again for the Seniors to start groaning, dashing madly about and making mis- takes as they try to beat the deadline for getting the paper out by the last day of the month. Mr. Long is kept busy reading and okaying articles for the paper while Mrs. Hoyt proof reads stencils. The only pauses in the rushing is when the editor stops to make sure everyone else is running at his top speed or when the whole staff stops to groan together over a big error that someone wasted half the day over. Before the mimeographing starts, students on the staff may be seen sitting here and there as if they are angry with the world and have suddenly become anti-social. These geniuses of the Class of ’5Z are very busy. They are the people who sweat the blood that puts the features and editorials on paper. When the paper is at last ready to distribute, the hard workers take deep breaths, stick out their chests, pick up some school papers, sit down on some chairs, and relax as they enjoy the marvel of creating such a master- piece and wonder if perhaps after all of their practice they wouldn’t stand a good chance if they tried out for track. 41 Student Council There are eight students who make up the Student Council this year. Wayne Dickman is president and Norma Tweedy is secretary and treasurer. Mrs. Hoyt is the Council’s advisor. Other members are: Delbert Fuelling, Sarah Barfield, Bill Watkins, Jo Ann Hulett, and Norma Jean Simmons. The Student Council sponsored the Homecoming and Christmas party. Bus Drivers FLOYD BROWNING RICHARD DUVENDACK DICK FLOYD School Buses One of the things we Seniors will always remember is riding the school bus. Remember the many times Browning bus ran out of gas on Spunky Ridge? It was always on top of a hill, and we had to back down the hill before we could get gas. Richard’s bus always picked the coldest morning to get stuck in the snow. Maybe that was because it didn’t snow ex cept when it was cold. F.veryone was always happy when the bus was late, because that meant postponing the beginning of a school day.
