Our first two years were fairly routine except for the fact that we could sit and watch the new high school under construction during our Sophomore year. All our watching was rewarded when we moved in- to the new building in our junior year. It was an ex- citing beginning for an extraordinary year. This was the year we worked for our prom. It was made more interesting because of the purchase of the new popcorn machine, because of the new gym in which to sell our popcorn, candy, and pop and because we had a con- ference tournament which made our class much richer. This was the year of our first play, and the first play on the new stage. All of these things were minor com- pared to the main event of the yeargour Junior- Senior Banquet and Promenade. This brought another first: the first prom in the gym. Let us remember the fun we had on our Senior Skip Day. Our Senior year was climaxed by the grad- uation exercises which meant we were leaving M. C. H. S. and stepping forth into thc unknown future and the secrets which it will reveal to us. Good luck, Minooka High! We'll be thinking of everyone there in thc years to come. CHANNEL I2 BACKSTAGE DIARY June 1, 1973 DEAR DIARY: I decided the other day to find out what had happened to all of the old gang so today I flew into Chicago. I immediately called on my old friend Barbara Montgomery who is the star of TV's Home Economics show, The Food's the Thing. In private life, Barb is Mrs. Dale Williamson and Mommie to five bright-eyed youngsters. Dale Williamson seems to be doing quite well as the leader of f'Willy's Moon Music Boys on a weekly TV show. I asked whether there was anyone else in Chicago that I could contact, and Dale told me that Herb Davis is currently co-starred in the stage show at the Woods Theater with his wife, who accompanies him. She isn't one of the old gang but is quite nice, so they say. I, then, remembered that Herb had been quite the erooner and has thousands of teen-agers at his heels wherever he goes. He told me, when I called him, that Roy Carlson is a very successful pilot of a jet racer and has just won an international race in France and would be back in Chicago in a few hours. Roy, I hear, is still a bachelor, though he has been seen with several young ladies recently. We all went to see Dale's program tonight and who do you suppose is his featured singer? Why, Dixie Campbell! She seemed quite pleased when I asked her if she was in contact with any of the rest of the gang and mentioned Gene Ervin who is currently at Rockefeller Center with a world premier of his latest movie for Supreme Pictures. I found out why she was pleased, they are engaged and are planning a simple wedding in August. We decided, that night, that it would be fun to have a reunion on the eighth. We each de- cided to notify someone else. As we pooled our information some of the facts became very im- portant to the reunion. For instance, La Verne Hiller's Hotel Ritz in Minooka would be an ideal spot to hold the reunion and Norma Ericksonlf Beauty Palace Salon in the hotel would be an ideal place for us girls to get all prettied up. La Verne seemed quite excited and said that his wife, our old friend Doris Locher, would certainly have the place ready for us when we came in on the seventh. Norma told us to call her husband, George Duvall, at the stockyards and he would come right down. We did, and we soon learned that he was a stock buver for Swift 8: Co. We all called our friends, and we will know what has happened to them next week. I called mv husband. Clinton Hulbert, who is managing editor of Life Magazine, and he said he'd bring a photographer and give us a spread if I would write the story. As if I didn't have enough to do, writing a daily column for the News Syndicate, but I agreed. And so 'to sleep! June 7, 1973 I arrived in Minooka bright and early this morning and noticed how the town has grown. There is a monstrous factory north of Minooka with a sign, Kurtz Aircraft, Inc., and I wondered if it were jack Kurtz. Just as I drove past the gate a limousine roared out with jack at the wheel. I met him several minutes later, in the lounge of the Hotel Ritz. He was talking very rapidly with George McCoy. I waved and they came over and explained that it was jack's factory and that George owned the lion's share of Lipps 99. He said the girls were all upstairs. When I got there I found Ann Knudson, Mary Lawson, Barbara Montgomery William- son and Doris Locher Hiller. I soon found out that I must add McCoy to Ann's name and Montgomery to Mary's. Ann was very busy being a wife and mother, she told me, and had left the two children at their grandmothe'r's. Mary and Dick Montgomery are busy following professions. Mary is the head of the WAC's, and Dick is a major in the Marines. When we came down for dinner, we found added to our list: Severn Dorre, now head of the Democratic Party, Professor Roger Dollinger of the University of Illinois, a historian who has written several text books, and Paul Green- wood, the pilot of the first rocket to the moon, who is now preparing t0 take off for Mars soon. Paul has just fiown in with Roy Carlson last night. Now everyone is here but Arlene Necker, Harvey Schmidt, and Charlie Sing and no one will tell me anything about them. When I went down for breakfast this morning Arlene and Harvey were here. They are Mr. and Mrs. now, and have their own careers. Arlene is the manager of Walgreen's in the Pentagon Building, and Harvey took over the F. B. I. when Edgar Hoover resigned. Charlie Sing arrived shortly before lunch in one of his Padillac cars. They say he has six, one for every girl friend. He has quite a little property around here and in Kansas and is, at present. feeding three thousand cattle for mar- ket and show. We had a huge dinner and sat about talking for hours while Dale's band played. Nearly every married couple has at least two children and all of the bachelors are on the ragged edge of matrimony. We girls will win out in the end! It was a wonderful week-end. and we all took off for our various homes happy, and full of memories and promises to meet again next vear. Now to write the storv for the magazine. I think I will call it . . . The Minooka '53's Meet Again. Good night, MARILYN HEITMANN M-DI-AN POLL AWARDS Most Representative Student By popular vote of the student body and the faculty Arlene Necker and Charles Sing were chosen as the Most Representative Students of the Senior Class. Both Arlene and Charles have been leaders in school activities, citizenship, and sports and have achieved scholastic standing which merits their reward of this honor. It is our pleasure to congratulate them.

During the year, we sponsored many money- making projects to help publish the annual at the lowest possible price so that all of the stu- dents might obtain one, The projects were as follows: Selling magazine subscriptions, selling turkey raffle tickets, selling ads, sponsoring skating parties, and sponsoring a luncheon. Our yearbook has two big purposes. These are, to show the advances made in our educa- tional programg and to furnish a form of en- tertainment for alumni and students of the Minooka Schools in recalling pleasant experi- ences of school days gone by. The members of the staff would like to thank all of the, student body and faculty members for their co-operation in the publication of this yearbook. It has been wonderful working together. MEET THE PRESS The Pearl' Pipe Chatler is published by the Oflice Practice Class once eaeh month. The paper includes, between its covers, such inter- esting items as class news, sports news, activities news, grade school news. jokes, chatter, honor roll, and perfect attendance lists. A free copy is given to each student in Mi- nooka Community Schools. The Peace Pipe Chatter is exchanged with other nearby schools and is sent to several individual subscribers and boys in the armed forces as well. The members of the staff take turns writing the different pages of the paper, and choosing suitable pictures and jokes for their page. We have spent many enjoyable hours trying to improve the Peace Pipe Chatter. This eon- cludes the twelfth consecutive year of publica- tion for the school newspaper. a s fi 1 S'l'.-XNDING: .-Xnn Kuudson, Doris Loeher. Mary Lawson, Norma Eriekson, N111 Sampson, adviser.

A. is a chapter unit of the Illinois Association of the F. H. A. which, in turn, is chartered by the national organization of the Future Home- makers of America. The F. H. A. membership is open to any girl in high school who has been enrolled in a home economics training course for one semester. The oflicers for the past year were: Barbara Montgomery, president, Norma Erickson, vice-president, Lucille Larson, secre- tary, jean Rushton, treasurer, Ann Knudson, Publicity Book chairman, Mary Lawson, De- gree's chairman, Lois Jennings, Welfare and Service, Suzanne Montgomery, financial chair- man, Arlene Necker, song leader, Sophie Kon- jevich, reporter, Mrs. Clarence Knudson, chap- ter mother, Marilyn Heitmann, parliamen- tarian, and Mrs. Janice Sampson, adviser. Two meetings a month were held, one for business and one for a social time. A highlight was the Christmas Party held in the Home Economics Room where we played games and had a gift exchange. The informal initiation of the Freshmen was held in October. To show that they were in- terested in the organization, the girls wore their shirts inside out and upside down, a tennis shoe with a nylon, a regular shoe with a bobby sock, 14 pony tails, blouses inside out and backwards, men's gloves, and carried lunch pails. In order to carry on our activities, we must have some money-making projects. Our projects included: Milk sales, checking coats at basket- ball games, selling hot sandwiches, and a bake sale. Each year we have a Mother-Daughter Ban- quet in the spring and the mothers of all of the girls in the club are invited. The women mem- bers of the school faculty are also invited. The girls eam the money for this banquet. At this time, the regular president presides. In January, we held our formal initiation at which all Freshmen and new members were honored. This was a candle-lighting ceremony sponsored by the ofhcers. The new members were initiated into the club by reciting from memory the creed, constitution, and the pur- poses. During the year, the F. H. A. had numerous activities which included Daddy Date Night- a night when we honored our fathers by enter- taining them. In honor of U. N. day, Marilyn Heitmann gave a talk on the United Nations. In May, the incoming Freshman girls were hon- ored with a buffet luncheon and a small pro- gram to try to interest them in F. H. A. We sent packages to the boys in Korea for Christ- mas. Outside our regular F. H. A. meetings, the girls also attended activities connected with the section, district, and state. This year our Chap- ter girls who attended the Leadership Rally in Oswego were Section President Barbara Mont- gomery, Marilyn Heitmann, Lucille Larson, Jean Rushton, and Sophie Konjevich. Mrs. Clarence Knudson, our chapter mother, Mrs. Dale Hoge, and Mrs. Sampson accompanied the girls. At this rally, Mrs. Hoge was elected section mother. Our chapter president, Barbara Montgomery, presided over the Spring Rally in Streator as section president. In March of this year, the officers were elected for the coming 1953-1954 school year. The new officers were installed at the Mother- Daughter Banquet held in April. The eight purposes of our organization are: l. To promote a growing appreciation of joys and satisfaction of homemaking. 2. To emphasize the importance of worthy home membership. 3. To encourage democracy in home and community life. 4. T0 work for good homes and family life for all. To promote international good will. 5. To foster the development of creative leadership in home and community life. 7. To further interest in Home Economics. 8. To provide wholesome individual and group recreation.

KORN KIDS OF THE KCUNTRY On June 3-5, 1952, the Illinois F. F. A. convention was held at Urbana. Eugene Win- terbottom, Henry Sing, Dale Williamson, Art Coop, Charles Sing, and Robert Rushton at- tended the convention. Dale Williamson and Charles Sing were the delegates representing the Minooka chapter. At the convention Charles Sing was presented with the State Farmer de- gree. Bob Rushton sang in the State Chorus and Henry Sing played in the State Band. Charles also received the Section 8 award for beef production, and Bob received the Section 8 award for soy beans. The chapter took an exhibit to the conven- tion. The exhibits were judged, and Minooka received third place. The exhibit entitled F. F. A. in Action, featured activities and projects of our local chapter and Section 8. The bottom part of the exhibit was devoted to a sand box model of a farm using conservation practices. The F. F. A. Sectional Fair was held on August 4, at Ottawa. A number of the mem- bers attended and received many ribbons. The officers for the new year attended the Annual Oficers' Training Camp on September 10, at Marseilles. Charles Sing was elected sec- tional reporter at one of the meetings. On October 5, the Minooka Chapter held a Tractor Rodeo. The winners of the contest were: Wayne Blair, first place, and Earl Brad- ford, second place, in the open class. Dale Williamson, first place, and Charles Sing, second place, in the F. F. A. class. The Annual Sectional Grain Show was held at Yorkville on November 8. Charles Sing, Rob- ert Rushton, and Pat Conroy attended the show. The Chapter gave an all-school party in November. Mr. Whiteside from Joliet directed the square, folk, and round dancing at the party. Mr. Edwin Williamson, Mr. Harvey Vaks- dal, and Mr. Wilken drove thirteen boys to the International Livestock Show in Chicago on December 6. The F. F. A. sponsored a Pest Control Drive from December 1, 1952, to January 31, 1953.

THE JUNIOR SWING In the early autumn. many of the boys and girls of grade four were told that they could join the band if they had a B average.

The lucky people were: Kay Holbrook, Sharon Winkler, Barbara Binkele, Vada Knudson, Barbara Heap, Carol Link, and Darlene Anderson.

The Student Council sponsored assembly programs during the regular school year. bar kr Q Fw 'Na Us U 'Sf 315 . A Q fi, X, , f E5 io M .

BASKETBALL The 1952-53 basketball season opened with the return of four lettermen from last season: George Duvall, Charlie Sing, Richie Severson, and Dale Williamson. The other players that helped make the season a success were Gordon Murley, Henry Sing, and Eugene NVinterb0t- tom. Participating in a schedule that was loaded with outstanding basketball teams in this area, the Indians came through the season with an excellent record of eighteen wins, against nine defeats. The Indians started off with a bang by defeating Serena, and we lost to a strong Blue Island team and an inspired Braidwood team. Then we got back on the winning trail by defeating Oswego. We entered the Grant Park Holiday Tour- nament for the first time. and defeated an un- beaten Beecher team in the semi-finals. INe then went on to beat East Lynn for the cham- pionship-a first for a Minooka team. The team went into the Conference Tour- nament as underdogs and came out with the championship in one of the most exciting tour- nament games ever played. None of the fans will forget the championship game when an injury-ridden Minooka team-inspired and de- termined--went on to victory. The last half of the season found the Mi- nooka Indians really rolling along. They beat every team that had beaten them earlier except Yorkville. Going into the District, which is considered one of the strongest in the state, the Minooka Indians won the first game, but lost to a red hot Leland team to end a very successful sea- son. The Wayne Thompson Memorial Free Throw Trophy was won by Richie Severson with a 72.31 per cent average. The runner up was George Duvall with an average of 62.0 per cent. The Fox is at Minooka to stay for a while because the Indians took possession in winning their last conference game with Orland Park. It will remain with Minocuka until the Indians are defeated again in the conference next win- ICT. The seniors on the team were: George Du- vall, Charlie Sing, and Dale Williamson. Throughout the season these fellows showed the finest spirit and sportsmanship and will be hard to replace when basketball resumes next November. To the seniors we wish lots of success in the future. lui-5 3:30 5 ZOOPARADE-Alnoul Animals R, Marlin I'i-rkitm Gt .lilli Hurlliul disriiss-nxiilnnls thnx are Hilliiliir. liui diet.-fmt. i:t.....p1.- nn- ri..-.4....n ..r STRANGE AND TRUE ' Am--nf-1. and the rin-.mn -log ..t Ji.,-mi e C9557 A - - 'Q - - Th.-, ton show .......,- ot nn- ....i.....n ' we M- 'v05 'sILHuul ,thin .nm .,............ mn. im. from 1-mir.-ny .inn-it-ni sp.-es.-Q . l ATCHER li SAMMY IF' you wonder what happened to the lxraft Theatre play Amin One Iii-ight Day which was ,vheduled two weeks ago, Drama and then canceled, it's lieenuse hill' network stepped in at y,,l,.,,,,,,,.-- Wm, SH,-..y, the lust minute und made ii snlistit Miller tells about the proxy of it one of his products is drug: outlitk liourd claims it suggested seven.. to keep drug: users handling the show ingin So, in tue IHS' Ylllfliticular Mary, with her tresses was something the tree just eouldn't pry and her hair con versialsuhjeet, tzet or admiring for example, that glue down their the TV sets eneh when Super Circus tri utton.

BASEBALL The Minooka Indians completed their seventh year of fall -baseball by losing both of their only two encounters. The Minooka team played Newark in its two games and came out on the short end of both games by scores of 6 to 1 and 5 to 3. Some of the players that took part were: jim Bretsch played second base, George Du- vall was the catcher, Wes Cook played short- stop, Richie Severson pitched, Gordon Murley held down third base, and Henry Sing covered first base. The outflelders were: Dale William- son, Eugene Winterbottom, Eugene Erwin, Mike Stegman, Earl Shearer, and Jerry Em- mert. We had a large number of Freshmen who were out and will probably see service in the spring. The team is looking forward to the ,spring baseball season, when they hope to avenge the earlier two defeats. 'nv--W-fqf--so if ., 'S 'refs A N-'-' ' s '. z5 '. 4--' .,,. f' l .

One new pupil was added to this year's rolls in the person of Barbara Binkele who came from Peoria. ln numbers there is strength,'l it is said. The pupils of the seventh and eighth grades went all out to prove that statement. In both the magazine drive and Turkey Raffle sales, these people did a eommendable job. Individual winners in the magazine drive were Leonard Peterson for grade eight, and Virginia WVallin in grade seven. 'l'urkey Raflle winners were Virginia Wlallin of grade seven while .Iovee Greenbeek led grade eight. Extra-eurrieular activities participated in by the upper grades were in the form of Citizen- ship Club, Student Couneil, Safety Patrol, and various eharity drives sueh as Mareh of Dimes, American Red Cross, Tubereulosis Campaign, to list a few. The Christmas Pageant, The Christmas Miraele, was an all-school production. Speak- ing parts handled by the members of grades seven and eight ineluded Andrew Anderson, Mike Bedford. Charlie Brown, Elizabeth Con- traeieri, Alden Erickson, Donald Klellugh, 'l'oxn Murley, john Stegman, and 'Iudy lYalker. All those not having speaking parts served in some other eapaeity. Free time sueh as reeesses and the noon pe- riod were spent in playing various games. Ping pong and daneing prevailed during inelement weather and mueh time was devoted to shooting baskets and playing baseball when the weather was favorable. Seventh and eighth graders who represented the sehool on this year's basketball team were: Mikm' Bedford, Charlie Brown, Ken Butler, Alden Eriekson. Donald Mellugh, 'l'oin Murley, Tom Parris, Leonard Peterson, 'Iohn Stegrnan, Larry Todd, and james lVinkler. As we revel in glories of the past. let us for a moment pause to eonsider, that everything Comes to those who try. ltlay this thought in- spire you to greater heights in the future.

We were curious about several things, the new pupils, the new text books, the things our friends had done during the summer holiday, and last, but not least, our new teacher. As time went on, our curiosity was pretty well satisfied in all these matters, and when the room celebrated its first birthday party, Octo- ber l7, routine was fairly well established. Oc- tober brought other activities, too. Our Citi- zenship Club was organized with Barbara Heap as presidentg Kay Holbrook as vice-president, Maury Lundstrom as secretaryg and Sharon Avery as treasurer. We did our share in helping with the Carnival, having charge of the Jewelry Booth and the Sweet and Treat Booth, too. Of course, the Halloween Party which came the last Friday of the month must not be forgotten. Everybody disguised himself in some way so we were practically all strangers, and no one would utter a word. It wasn't until the prizes were given that their true identity was revealed. Elizabeth Singer, Anita Santorineos, and Dick Feeney carried away the prizes. Mr. Dorick thoughtfully took movies of all the rooms after the children were seated. Several weeks later he showed them to us, and we enjoyed the whole party again. We regrctfully said goodby to two of our group, Judith Loerch and Joann Littles early in the first semester. We must not forget to mention our bi- monthly Birthday Parties which the club de- cided upon early in the fall. Every second month we have a party for all of our group who had birthdays within those two months. In October, we honored Joe Olsen, janet Walker, and Carol Link. In December, Mar- gery Knudson and Kay Holbrook shared the celebration. Our january, February birthdays were on January 30, 1953. Ronnie Olsen, Max- ine Todd, and Larry Peterson were the reci- pients. We always had a decorated cake with the appropriate number of candles, and some popular drink. The group's favorite games and the singing of Happy Birthday were the high- lights of the program. Our next social affair came at Christmas time. The room was generously decorated with Santa Claus faces, reindeer, stockings hung up in rows, candy canes, and candles, and we had a small but very pretty Christmas tree. VVe had had very little sickness up to that time, and we all left for the ten day holiday in good spirits. The fifth and sixth grade room was well represented in the Christmas Pageant, The Christmas Miraclef, Barbara Heap, Carol Link, Kay Holbrook, and Larry Peterson had leading roles. Larry Peterson, Nancy Cowdrick and Kay Hol- brook were on the Honor Roll in the fifth grade. Anita Santorineos, Barbara Heap, Mary Lund- strom, and Maxine Todd have shared the hon- ors in the sixth grade. Our class looked forward to the Valentine's Day party held on Friday, February 13. We also looked, with anticipation, towards spring- time and the summer vacation.

In October, Judy Evans moved to Minooka from Wilhelmi School south of joliet. We were sorry when Karen Skinner moved to Maple Park, Illinois, and Evelyn Mikkelson left our school in the spring. In October, at the Boosters' Carnival we presented a play entitled Ghosts! Our room was Filled to capacity for the play, and the re- sults were good. For our Halloween Mas- querade, Richard Dirst was awarded a prize for the most original costume of an ear of com. Lynda Connor as the bride was the prettiest, and joe Coyne was funniest as a Hillbilly. Mr. Doriek took colored movies of all of us in the parade and in our rooms. These were shown to us and to Music Boosters. Before Christmas, our entire class cast a play, The Cowboys' Christmas. We were the first grade school class to give a play on the stage of the new gym. We invited every class in grade school and their teachers, Mr. Siron and Mr. Kmetz. The Christmas Miracle was the all-school play. The angels were selected from our grade. They were Carol Blair, Karen Skinner, Mar- jorie Avery, Lynda Connor, Sharon Winkler, and Beryl Churchill. For the M-Di-An, we sold tickets for the tur- key, goose, and duck. Carol Blair won the prize for grade four by selling S9 worth. Our class sold 36350, which was highest for a grade school class. The boys were happy to have Mr. Siron take them for gym each Monday for an entire period. At this time, Mrs. Shields or Mrs. Kint- ner instructed the girls of grades three and four in rhythms and square dances. During Education Week our class room was visited by Hfteen mothers and friends. In speech class, Carla Shearer and Leon Steffes worked very hard. We had an art contest for countries studied in geography. John Santorineos' group was the winner. They had chosen Belgian Congo for their country and drew some fine pictures. Several of the class had birthday celebrations at school. Those who did were: Rosemary Breen, Beryl Churchill, Larry Hinchlifife, Evelyn Mikkelson, Bonnie Peterson, and Joe Coyne. On January 20, 1953, we were divided into groups and went to thirteen difjferent homes to see and hear the inauguration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower as the thirty-fourth president. This was the first time our nation could see the President take his oath of office on television. During the year we enjoyed Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine parties. We were all happy to have our grade in the new building with lockers and the nice room.

REPORT OF CHANNEL 3 Our class started last September with sixteen boys and twelve girls. In October, Jane Loerch moved to Chicagog but we were back to our original number a few weeks later when Larry Duffy joined our class. He moved to Minooka from Plainfield. Our work this year was harder than it had ever been before, but we thought it was fun. We learned many new things. We learned to read silently, to multiply and divide. VVC were proud when, on a 50-word spelling test, all 28 of us made HA. Our teacher was proud, too. She treated us. For the first time, we wrote our own news stories for the Peace Pipe Chatter. Our first big event of the year was Halloween Capers. Our room's contribution to it was a play called Catching the One O'Clo-ek Train or It Mav Be Cheaper bv the Dozen But It's More Fun With Fifteen. There was a part for everyone in the class. We will never forget Kay Moore who played the part of Mrs. Hepple. Fifteen of us were her children. Chandra Dorick was the baby. She sat in a stroller and got manv laughs with her crying and fits of temper. We have had other fun this year-party fun! We marched in the Halloween Parade and ended the dav with a big party. Dennis Wha- len, Anetta Kittleson, and Dick Coyne won prizes for their costumes. We had a wonderful Christmas Party - complete with our very own Christmas tree and the real Santa Claus! He wore his gym shoes so that he could try out our new gym!! A week before our Valentine Party we exchanged names for Secret Pals. All week we did special things for our pals. Then we revealed our names on our valentines. We had other little parties and treats on birth- days, too. Our year has been an exciting one. We will remember it for the election and inauguration of President Eisenhower. We were thrilled when Mr. Siron let us see it on television. We had an election, too. We elected Janet Vaksdal to rep- resent us at Student Council. We chose well for she handled her job very nicely. The boys had their first real gym class this year. Mr. Siron took them to the gym for 40 minutes each Monday morning. During that period the girls had music and games. We helped with the Turkey Rattle to raise money for the yearbook. Kay Moore and Char- lotte Hentze won prizes for selling the most chances in our room. Now that the year is over, we are a little sad at leaving the primary grades where we've had such fun. But how eagerly we wait next fall. How grown-up we'll be then-touching el- bows with high school people! -v- 'TD if 23 53' Lf , 2 ' i FL, X . , .A W Vx I' l Q ,T,' u W ' ..,A if ' --' 8 J W 53-..'-152 1 2 ' 1' 'x'5 I .-j, x'X.

Ken- neth Skinner left in March hecause his family rnoved to Maple Park. NN'ith sixteen new hooks to complete it seemed we would he working every rninuteg hut we soon found tirne to enjoy contests, rnovies, spell- downs, arithrnetic garnes, and the rnany other things that make school life so much fun. Each holiday was yery interesting. At Hal- loween tirne -Iacquelyn lNfIcCoy, Nancy Blair, janet Kemp, and Kathleen Fleming won prizes for the most unusual costumes in the Halloween Parade. We were more than anxious for Christmas to corne. The day we were dismissed for vaca- tion we had our Christmas Party. We drew names and everyone received a gift. Santa Claus carrie and passed out the gifts. For our Mothr-r's present the girls made a Gingham Cat calendar, and the hoys made Calico Dog calendars. On that day, also, we were invited to see The Cowboys' Christrnasf' a play given hy the fourth grade. Diana Littlefair was elected to represent the second grade at all the Student Council meet- ings. In january, we prepared a Puppet Show and invited the first. third, and fourth grades to our room. Miss Olson invited us to see the first grade Doll and Toy Show. Then we started going to the gym every day. What fun we had! Many of the boys made baskets and practiced hard. On Inauguration Day we watched the cere- monies over television. Before we knew it, it was time to think of Valentinels Day. We decorated our room and made a pretty box. Everyone received many lovely valentines. Soon the days grew longer, spring came, and it was time to think of vacation. W'e had fin- ished our second year in school. E.

REPORT OF CHANNEL I School began with twenty little boys and twelve little girls ready and eager to explore this new world called school. Many new and interesting things were to be learned. Before many weeks had passed, David Loerch and Floyd Littles moved to Chicago, and Junior Flatt moved to Channahon. Becky Hancock joined the class for a few weeks and later moved back to North Carolina. Our holidays brought special fun for us. In October we had our Halloween masquerade and party. Gerry Peterson won the prize for the prettiest costume. She was dressed as an ice skater. Mike Likeness was the funniest clown, and Fred Dirst, dressed as a searecrow, was the ugliest. We also gave a little program in our room for the all-school carnival. We sang, dramatized, and recited Nursery Rhymes for our audience. December brought the happiest, as well as the most exciting time of the year. It was fun making Christmas gifts for our mothers. Santa Claus came to our Christmas Party and helped distribute the gifts for all of us. VVe also en- ioyed seeing the fourth grade Christmas play. We were invited into the second grade room to sing and listen to Christmas songs on the record player. VVe had our Doll and Toy Show in January. VVe invited the second, third, and fourth grad- ers to see and hear about our new dolls and other Christmas toys. In February, we looked forward to our Valentine party. We had a pretty Valentine box Hlled with many valentines for everyone. Easter vacation came and went quickly, and before we knew it, we were enjoying lovely spring days and looking forward to our picnic day and summer vacation. However, all was not play for us. We enjoyed our new reading books about Dick, Jane and Sally. We also read many other books and re- ceived a colored star on our Library Reading Chart for each book read. We learned to count and write numbers, and also, how to add and to subtract small numbers. We liked our new science book, too. We read about the adventures of Judy and Joe. Our art classes were fun. We colored, painted, did free hand drawing, and cut and pasted pie- tures in poster work. We made many pretty pictures for our room. We also had lots of fun playing in the new gym during our forenoon play periods. STUDENT EULINEIL FIRST ROW: Diana Little-fair, Donnie Williamson, Janet Vaksdal.

JUNIOR ENGINEERS The Grade School Student Council is an or- ganization in the school which helps pupils with their problems and works to promote better un- derstanding and co-operation between teachers and pupils. A teacher acts as adviser, but the meetings are conducted by the president and problems are discussed by the members who represent all the grades. Each of the grades elected a representative. After the first meeting this year, ballots were distributed and the entire student body voted for the Council oflicers. Our members this year were: Joan Knudson, eighth, president, Lois Severson, seventh, vice- presidentg Margery Knudson, sixth, secretary, Nancy Cowdrick, Hfthg Lynda Connor, fourth, Janet Vaksdal, third, Diana Littlefair, second, Donnie Williamson, Hrstg Mrs. Kintner, adviser. The Council met every other Monday during the year. Some of the problems we discussed were rules for courtesy and safety on the play- ground, cleanliness in and around the school, spare time duties, and noon-hour act1v1t1cs for upper grade girls. STUDIO PROTECTORS Almost immediately after the school year be- gan, a number of boys representing grades seven and eight were selected to serve as Patrol Boys. At one of the early meetings, the various duties were outlined to these boys. Rules such as, conduct on buses, aiding in loading of buses, crossing streets, and conduct within the boun- daries of the school, were discussed. The Patrol Boys for the past year, under the leadership of Captain John Stegman, fwhom the boys elected unanimouslyj were: Michael Bedford, Charles Brown, Donald McHugh, Donald Murley, Thomas Murley, Lenard Ol- son, Richard Pehlke, Leonard Peterson, William Stafford, and James Winkler. The students and faculty extend to you boys a vote of thanks for a job well done. F' - 1N,-w -Q . . .1 5 , qu Q - i A - 1 .

GANG GUWES Early in the school year the pupils of grades seven and eight held an election to determine who the officers might be to guide the Citizen- ship Club. The fortunate foursome who emerged as victors were Edith Turner, pres- identg Margaret Vaksdal, vice-presidentg Jac- queline Hancock, secretaryg and Joyce Green- beek, treasurer. The purpose of the Citizenship Club was to instill the spirit of eo-operation into all school functions. It was designed to get the pupils to work together in achieving the goals they had set up. Four parties were held under the sponsorship of the Citizenship Club. They were Halloween, Christmas, Valentine, and school closing. Vari- ous pupils were selected to bring refreshments for these parties. Meetings of the Citizenship Club took place every other Friday. After the close of each meeting the more talented pupils were asked to give forth with some form of entertainment. The dues of the club were five cents per meeting. Funds realized from these dues were used in defraying some of the expense of the party refreshments. The Citizenship Club of grades five and six was rc-organized the first week in September. The purpose of the club was to promote better citizenship in the school and in the particular grades. This meant more self-control, more thoughtfulness and kindness to classmates, friends, and teacher, more cleanliness, orderli- ness, and assuming some responsibility toward the lower grades, as well as personal responsi- bility toward the conduct of the room. The clubs sponsored the Monthly Birthday Parties, the special Farewell Parties to members leaving school, and the writing of Thank You and Get Well notes. Meetings were held every two weeks with special meetings called when deemed necessary. The dues were five cents per meeting with the privilege of assessing special dues when thought needed. The Young Americans Club of grade four was organized in September. This club gave the pupils an opportunity to learn rules of conduct- ing a meeting and the duties of the various officers. The club sponsored parties for all holidays, appointed committees, helped with keeping the room neat, and also helped in the second grade room. The officers were: Sharon Winkler, presidentg Beryl Churchill and Carol Blair fsecond semes- terj, vice-presidentg Joseph Coyne and Beryl Churchill fsecond semesterj, seeretaryg Larry Hinchliffe and Marjorie Avery fseeond semes- terj , treasurerg Lynda Connor, Student Council. Nfeetiiigs were held every other week followed by a. program by the members. Dues were twenty-five cents a year. Wax paper coupons were saved to earn extra money. ff'-Q. 72 1 I FIRST ROW: Edward Gannon, Donald McHugh, Larry Todd, Richard Feeney, James Hadaway, Larry Peter- son, Ernest Pehlke.

Stress was placed particularly on such fundamental skills as dribbling, shooting, passing, and guarding. The teams enjoyed a very successful season. The heavyweight record stood at 15 wins and three losses while the lightweights were unde- feated, garnering 16 victories. This year as in the past, the teams were entered in the Des Plaines Valley Conference which was composed of seven teams.
