Class Will Finding only a few very valuable items and characteristics in our ownership, we, the class of 1953 of Meredosia High School, being well, being lucky to graduate, do hereby, reluctantly, will these items and characteristics as follows: To the faculty: Our old I. O. U. 's in the office, all broken test tubes in the lab, ruined typewriter ribbon in the commercial room, and demolished textbooks. To the Juniors: Our broken rulers, old notes, the blame for all the damage we did in our four years, and our greatest hopes that, you, too, graduate. To the Sophomores: A list of all the ways to cheat on exams. (You will find them hid- den behind a loose brick, the 4th from the right in the 92nd row, on the East side of the high school building.) P. S. None of the 1,976,016 ways worked, anyway. To the Freshmen: Our old ticket stubs left over from school activities. (Maybe you can use them to sneak into future activities.) However; use them legally. That is, sneak in when nobody is looking. The other way it just doesn’t look well. The remaining items we will individually as we see they are most needed: I, Shirley Edwards, will my stinginess to any member of the Junior class so that next year they will be too stingy to will anything, too. I, Yvonne Floyd, will my perfect attendance to Beverly Chapman. I, Layton Yeakel, gladly leave 30 pounds of my weight to Curtis Muntman but not because he needs it. I, Johnny Miller, will a part of my ambition to Rita Petri. I, Marion Perry, leave all the parts that have fallen off of “The Ford” to Mr. Long for his car. I, Bob Duvendack, will my good grades and my jokes to Charles Tweedy and Linda Steinburg. Guess which gets which I, Virginia Dawson, leave my cheerleading ability to anyone who needs it. I, Billy Hulett, will my title “The Best Pest East of the West” to Billy Nunn. I, Jean Schneider, leave my Mac Murray pamphlets to anyone who wants to follow me to that college. I, Gwendolyn Tegeder, will my ability in sports to Vera Fricke. I, Erna Lee Staake, will all the old. combs, handkerchiefs, hairpins and wastepaper left in my locker to it’s next occupant. I, Harlan Fuelling, will my typing ability to whomever needs it. I, Wayne Dickman, will my tall, lankiness to Bob Six. I, Barbara Yeakel, leave my secrets on the quiet approach to catch a husband to Harriet Thompson. I, Dixie Griebler, will my ability of argumentation to anyone who needs it. I, James McDaniel, leave my good-naturedness to Pansy Floyd. I, Donald Allen, will my red hair to Donna Downey. I, Galen Pool, shall contribute a demonstration on “Slow and Careful Driving” for the benefit of all. I, Norma J. Simmons, leave my ability to catch a man to Virginia Sims. I, Donna Hobson, will my kneenex to Nancy Little. I, Doris Smith, will my locker to Merlyn Smith, if he wants to clean it out. I, Glenn Janes, will my fetching smile to Fonda Petri. I, Shirley Heitbrink, leave. 16 Class of ’53 in the Future I am the spirit of 53 and the class has asked me to go into the future to see what they will be doing. We shall start near Meredosia. Looking to the North you see many herds of cattle grazing on thousands of green acres. This is the V-8 Bar owned by Billy Hulett. Slightly to the right you will see the V-8 Bar’s Research Farm and Laboratory which is headed by Bob Duvendack. Barbara Yeakel Ham is teaching second grade in the local grade school, while Virginia Dawson Simon is teaching Home Economics in the high school. Glenn Janes is chief machinist at the CIPS plant and is about to be promoted to a position at one of the new plants in Pisgah. But, most of the class is gone from the old stomping grounds so let’s move on to Chicago. Dixie Griebler, ace reporter for the Chicago Moon, has just cracked a nationwide ring of gangsters. Donna Hobson is head nurse of the Mercy Hospital, where Dr. Shirley Heitbrink is Chief of Staff. At Speedy Typewriter Inc., Jean Schneider has just been unanimously elected president of the company by the Board of Directors. Shirley Edwards has been recently hired by the same company to make movies on “The Correct Way To Type as she is now World’s Champion Typist. In the next block, where Marshall-Field once stood, is the Crystal Dome Roller Rink owned by Donald “Red Allen. Red decided to build this glass-roofed skating rink when he first became a floor manager. Before we leave Chicago, we must not forget to mention Wayne “Pooch Dickman, who is foreman of pipe insulators at the Snodgrass Company. But right now we can’t see him because he’s in a pipe In Champaign at the U. of 111., where Layton “Tub Yeakel is head coach of.foQtbaLLuhis team has won every game. Looks like another Rose Bowl Year for Tub. We arrive now in New York a little breathless from our journey so, let’s rest stop at the Rockefeller Bulding, where Doris Smith is chief accountant for the Empire Shoe- string Co. Incidentally, Gwendolyn Tegeder’s offices are in this building. She is national president of all Women’s Athletic Assiciations. Down the street is the Jonesonian Institute, where John Miller is an archeologist. His secretary, Yvonne Floyd, is handling his affairs now, as he is on an expedition to the North Pole. Norma Jean Simmons, Academy Award winner, is currently starring in the musical film hit, “My Favorite Grandmother. Erna J ee Staake’s new book on shorthand methods has revolutionized the teaching world, as well as the business world. Marion Perry, a top engineer, has just completed a bridge across Devil’s Pass in California. Galen Pool, now a pro football player, has been voted “Man of the Year by The Sports Writers of America. James McDaniel is a 4-star Air Force general in charge of the jet divisions in Alaska. Harlan Fuelling is private secretary for the Ambassador to Bolivia. Gary Perry is now a famous world news reporter traveling all over the world gathering material for his news-casts. That’s all folks. See you at the class reunion in 1966 to compare notes. 17 Upon entering Meredosia High School in 1949 twenty-seven students answered the roll as “Green Freshmen.' The twenty-seven included: Donald Allen, Kenneth Browning, Virginia Dawson, Wayne Dickman, Bob Duvendack, Shirley Edwards, Yvonne Floyd, Donna Hobson, Billy Hulett, Glenn Janes, Marcia Koopman, Bonita Lewis, James McDaniel, John Miller, Marion Perry, Janice Pond, Jean Schneider, Norma Jean Simmons, Doris Smith, Erna Lee Staake, Gwendolyn Tegeder, Donna Mae Watkins, Barbara Yeakel, Layton Yeakel, and Paul Winkleman. In our Freshman year we were fortunate to have all our classmates with us, although Marion Perry moved to Chambersburg during the last half of the year. In 1950 we returned to school in September and when count was taken we still had all our classmates. Janice Pond decided she was tired of the old grind every day so she quit in the middle of the year. Paul Winkleman moved away during school time, so we lost two classmates during our Sophomore year. When we became up-and-coming Juniors in 1951 we found Donna Watkins and Bonita Lewis were not with us anymore. Donna moved and Bonita got in the way of Cupid’s arrow. During our Junior year we presented the play “Best Seller.” We were kept on our toes with the annual banquet and dance along with our studies. The theme for our banquet and dance was “Apple Blossom Time.” We received our class rings shortly before Christmas. Everyone was well pleased with them. Our Senior year twenty-three answered to the roll call. We found we had two new members in our class, Galen Pool and Marion Perry. In our Senior year we presented the play “Feudin Over Yonder” with every member of the class in it. The second semester of our last year at M. H. S. we found we had a new classmate, Gary Perry. We now had twenty-four members in our class. We went to Kirkwood Lodge for our Senior class trip. At the end of the school year we shall regret that it is our last year at M. H. S. and we will never forget the good time we had. 1 Junior-Senior Prom A highlight of the 1951-1952 school year was the Junior-Senior prom. The affair was held May 9, 1952 at the Dunlap Hotel in Jacksonville. A banquet centered around breaded pork chops was served to Juniors, Seniors, their guests, faculty, ministers, and chaperones. The Seniors were honored with Bob Duvendack, Junior class president, acting as toastmaster. Senior class president, Tony Simon, gave the farewell. Sterling silver 53 or 54 pins were presented to Junior and Senior students. A dance immediately followed the banquet. iii 5 Other than the Juniors and Seniors present were the faculty, their husbands and wives, Rev. Louis Rodenbeck, the Lutheran minister, and Rev. Guy Longenbaugh, the Methodist minister, Mr. and Mrs. Major and Mr. and Mrs. Lansing as chaperones, and the Junior Class advisor, Mr. Baulos. Couples danced from 9:00 to 12:00 to the music of Boots Brennan and his orchestra and vocalist. The theme, Apple Blossom Time, was predominant in the decorations and the program. The pictures were taken by Mr. Murray of Jacksonville. Everyone had an enjoyable time.

It was first organized in 1949 when we took part in the newly organized 3-C conference. The conference now has grown to eight schools which include Arenzville, Bluffs, Chapin, Chanderville, Franklin, Routt, Virginia and Meredosia. Routt won the championship for the first 3 years. This past season Chapin took over as the new champion. Meredosia has failed to claim a champion- ship, but has com1 close th pa-v four years of claiming a title. The Indians boosted a 3 won 4 lost performance this season. The Indians starting lineup this season showed Wayne Dickman and Marion Perry at the ends, Layton Yeakel center, Jim McDaniel quarterback and Galen Pool and Charles Tweedy at the halfback posts; other ends were Ham, Kehl, Nunn, and McDannold; halfbacks, Fuelling, D. Allen, G. Allen, Gordley, and Janes; centers, Barfield, Hardwick and Tracy.

The Sent n, for helping make the: The Student Council Left to Right: Glen Janes, Bob Six, Bob . ordley, James McDaniel, Beverly Chapman, Shirley Heitbrink, Shirley Edwards, Donna Downey, Dixie Griebler, Norma Dale, and Janet Welch. The school-wide campaign for council officers resulted in the election of James McDaniel as prexy: Dixie Griebler, vice-president: Beverly Chapman, secretary-treasurer: and Shirley Edwards as council-member-at-large. Remaining members were chosen in class elections, each class electing a councilwoman and a councilman. Tough hampered by the necessity of squeezing council meetings into the regular school day, the council accomplished more this year than most of its predecessors. Finances were no problem, as the magazine subscription campaign yielded good results in the early fall. Operation of the coke machine and the sale of greeting cards also supplied cash for school projects. Outstanding among the accomplishments of the council was the purchase of a school camera, which was used to make most of the photographs appearing in this yearbook. Noon hour rec- reation was provided once each week by the showing of a movie in the study hall. At the time of this writing, the council is planning the purchase of a record player. Quill and Scroll Society Dixie 1 riebler, Bob Duvenoack, Gwendolyn Tegeder, Shirley Edwards, Jean Schneider, and Erna Lee Staake were honored with membership in the Quill and Scroll Society, newly organized honor society for high school journalist. Membership in Quill and Scroll is reserved for outstanding publication staff members, who meet the basic requirements of the society. 46 Annual Staff Staake, Editor; Griebler, Business Manager; McDaniel, Assistant Editor; Janes, Picture Editor; Heitbrink, Lay-out Editor. Having been satisfied with last year’s annual, the 1953 staff decided to award the contract to the Walsworth Bros. Publishing Co. again this year. Work on the annual began the first of the year when the staff chose ‘'Growth” as the theme of their book and planned it's contents accordingly. This theme seemed very appropriate due to the continual growth of Meredosia High School. Our enrollment has increased since last year and the curriculum has been expandeu. Even the yearbook equipment increased when the Student Council bought a new Argus C-3 camera for the school’s use. Jim McDaniel and Glenn Janes have proved very able photographers. With all of these improvements to bring out the theme, Growth”, the staff hopes to present the biggest and best yearbook in 1953. Hobson, Floyd, Simmons. Edwards.

The course had not been offered before and organizing a new department brought new problems. The school board could not locate an Ag instructor before school started; consequently we didn't get organized until November 1, 1952. Mr. Wetzel, a former agriculture teacher, now farming south of Meredosia, was employed on a part-time basis. Sixteen boys took the cou i, Some F. F. A. members had to withdraw from some other class, whliw uthers had to carry five subjects in order to take Ag. We spent some time studying about the F. F. A. (Future Farmers of America) so we could do a better job of selecting our officers for the year. The F. F. A. will elect new officers for next year, and will hold one or two meetings during the summer. We wish to thank the parents and others who helped to get our F. F. A. rolling this year.
