Coach Freemuth was consid- ered the man to help them advance their career and they worked long and hard under his tutelage until September 22 when full of hope and confidence they journeyed to Normal to play University lligh. But the boys from Uni High re- membered last year and gained their revenge in a high scoring game but with the Sages on the short end of the 27 to 39 score. Number two was played against LeRoy. This was a fairly easy game but it did prove that the Sages needed plenty of practice. The scoring was pretty well divided up among the play- ers until Frank lloffman was high man with two touchdowns and an extra point. The final score ended up 34-O in favor of the Sages. Coach Freemuth, assisted hy Gregory, condition squad. On October 14th the Sages played Tuscola in a game that they just had to win, But the luck seemed to be with the Tuscola Warriors. The only Monticello touchdown made that night was by Elmer Lyons, the acting captain for the night. Rich Gadbury came through with the ex- tra point. The score was 14-7 in favor of Tuscola. The fourth was perhaps the dirt- iest game played by the Sages this sea- son. KNO reflection on the sportsman- ship of the contestantsb It was at Clin- ton on a wet and muddy field. For a while it looked as if the Sages were in an unfavorable period but just before the half Rich Gadbury went across to hit paydirt. In the third quarter Rich broke loose for an eighty yard run which payed off again. The rest of the game was like a pendulum, the teams swinging back and forth, accomplishing nothing but to pass the time to the final score 12-7. Number five is the game that every- one in Monticello would like to forget. lt was October the 28th and Homecoming Arcola was the foe. The game started off just fine, but the further along it got, the more luck Arcola seemed to have. The Sages were throwing every- thing but the kitchen sink at them but Arcola wouldn't be stopped. The final score was 12-6 in favor of Arcola. Where the Sages drink-- COUNTRY cluuzm DAIRY The loss of the Arcola game must have made the Sages mad or something, because they went out and ran over Cerro Gordo by about 25 points. Frank iloffman again headed the scoring list with two touchdowns. The other boys did alright too, as the total score was 31. Armistice day dawned clear and warm as our boys took the field for the final game against their great rivals from Bement. The gridders proved to be warm too scoring a touchdown in each quarter for a total of 26 points. Bement threw a small scare in the third quarter when they scored two touchdowns in rapid succession. But the Sages had no intention of closing the season with a defeat so they snapped back and the final score was 26 to l2. So ended an interesting if not a spectacular season GROUND GAIN ERS Players Times iarried Yds. Gained Av, a F.

Chet, the biggest boy on the squad, played at an end posi- tion most of the season taking over fullback duties occasion- ally. He ranked second best of all tacklers and the boys voted him outstanding player for the season. ELMER LYON S--SR. Elmer was our first-string full- back when he was'r1t out with an injury. In the first game he received a broken nose which kept him out of action for a couple of weeks. A little. later on he received a leg injury which kept him hopping most Of the season. R 'EWS RICHARD GADBURY--SR. Rich has been paged as one of the greatest athletes at Monticello. He is a natural end but due to lack of power in the backfield shifted to tailback. Ooponents likened him to a mad bull in football for his tackles really rocked them. He was elected by his teammates as Captain at the end of the season. ,W fl' ROY BENVI AMIN--SR. Roy was another of our bigger boys. Ile was a little late getting-started but after he got rolling he was one tough cookie. The fellows say that one way to get an opposite player mad was to tell Roy to use his feet and that was the end. Letterman DARRELL BAILEY--SR. Buckethead came out for foot- ball this year with a determined idea that he could make a place for himself on the first eleven and made his idea a reality. Xu. s 2 I Q , wg O s 5 l FRANK HOFFMAN--SR. The Hard-Luck Kid firally went through a season without any trouble at all. Frank played a very good season and his long runs helped us very much at many times. The fact that he won't be back next year will weaken our backfield consider- ably. : ..,. li tr l 5 . 6 I iv i ext 4 t , p , 1 v'?1'f59sw Fuothah C1A'2LES HOFFN1'UI S?

Howard is another junior whom the coaches have great hope. l-le plays in the line at a tackle or guard position and is one tough baby to toss out of the road. He is rather small, but plenty powerful. DELBERT IONES--SR. Dells transferred from Cham- paign and after he became accustomed to the single wing from the T-formation, Coach Freemuth ran him at wing back. He was called on a great deal for defensive work, at which he was very superb. 4 f t , , 4' . x 'if W gm ,. wr' 0 0 , f ' r - l . 8 if Hwfi fifr t . . ff, . Y . - T Yi . ,P , if I QIOIIN ELLIS--I R. Plug is a demon on defense and isn't to be laughed at when he starts pulling passes down the blue heavens. He works very smoothly from his end position and if things are right there won't be a much tougher end in the conference cofne fall of 1950. HO B MANIUEL--J R. Bob, a hari running junior who loves to carry the pigslcin over the little white line that pays off, played fullbaclf when Elmer was injured and 'lil an excellent job. Both coaches and fans are expecting hizn to do great things next fall. mhmmw LLOYD FRAY--SR. Lloyd completed his fourth year of football playing both tackle and guard, and did a very good job at both positions. He could always be counted on to turn in a good defensive game and will be missed in the line. FRANK LUBBERS--SR. Frank was one of the work- horses of the squad. He did'nt see much action but was usually one of the first out to practice and one of the last to leave. His spirit will be hard to beat in years to co rre. Such a player deserves as much or more credit than the so called stars. ff ,X v ' t I 'U-f 9 A ,Q l,... 9' H '15 in 1 a 'vi ,, 3 4' f L- R ft 5 , ,, , g..AWs-4... 19 its gg, ,,,i,MW Comely Cheerleaders create pep and heost morale.

In the meantxme, the Sages had won 27 regularly scheduled games and seven tournament ones to gxve us a Conference champlonslup, an Okaw tournament champronslup, and a Niontlcello IHVICBEIODSI Tourney champlonshxp The followrng week the Sages won three ames In the Reglonal tournament at Fzsher, mcludlng a never to be forgotten vxctory over Champargn, the lrst ID twenty odd years Then they advanced to the Sectronal Tournament where they were defeated by Danville, who went on to take second place ID the State tournament Tune and space do not permxt a recount of each lndlvldual game We m1ght mentlon some hrghlxghts, though The closest games played were wxth Unxty K2 porntsj and Lovxngton C4 POIDISD Greatest margxn was gaxned over Atwood 65 pomtsj Greatest satxsfactlon was tn three wxns over Tuscola, always a dangerous rival Most polnts scored in one game was 78 agaxnst Saybrook who came to town to run usoff our feet Well they ran, but we ran faster The most thnlllng game was the one wxth Arcola rn the fmals of the Okaw tournament We had saxled through our flrst three games and were a great favorlte to wrn How- ever Arcola s helght plus thexr dogged determrnatxon almost proved our undorng, and they led untll the final seconds by five points when two quxck baskets put the Sages back LD the game Then, wlth Arcola ln possessxon of the ball, the cause seemed lost, when rn some way CI m sure no Montlcello fan was sane enough to know howj Anderson stole the ball, drlbbled down, and was fouled galnxng two free throws One would tle, both would wm tensron Im sure no fan breathed normally when he stepped to the llne and- nussed the first one But he was not to be dented, on the second, he made xt Then, IU the excltement, Arcola mxstakenly took the ball but the mrstake was rectlfxed and we were gxven the ball wlth three seconds to play The one shot possxble missed and the regulatxon trme ended wrth the score 41 all In the over- trme Monticello, playmg wlth the calmness and self assurance whxch they had lacked earlier, scored 7 pomts to 2 for Arcola to gam a very sweet vlctory In the flnals of the Reglonal at Fisher, we were pltted agalnst Champalgn who for years has been the 'bxg bad wolf who always ate MODIICCIIO teams But the 1950 Sages saxd, 'To heck wxth psychology an teputatxon and that bxg town stuff thls IS just another ball game to wm Wlth superb team work, razzle dazzle passes, and llghtenxng speed the boys from lrttle Nlontrcello took complete command of the sltuatlon and were never headed for anythmg but another mce vlctory Thxs led them xnto the Sectional toumament, but fate m the form of alphabetlcal arrangement gave us Danville, the second rankxng team ID the state, for our opponents Danvllle players were known as the Streaks and were supposed to have speed akm to a streak of lxghtnmg Many predxcted that Nlontxcello would try to slow them down, but Coach Gregory chose to have the boys play thelr usual runnmg game and the Sages proved that they could run rrght along wrth the Srlver Streaks It was not unt1l the breaks of the game gave Danvxlle a small lead, enabllng them to employ a slow break, that they d1d defeat us Even In defeat some 700 fans Cno more could get xnj were sure that the Sa es were just as good as the Streaks Much cou d be saxd tn pralse of each of the ten mdxvlduals who composed the Vars1ty squad But the most that could be saxd IS that those boys were a team There were no petty 1ealous1es, no strlvmg to play the ball, or outshxne ones teammates Any frve who were playing on the floor at any time were playxng together The Important thxng was for some one to score who lf was, was not xmportant Chet was hlgh scorer m half the games played but he was always fxrst to gxve Gadbury credlt for settlng up most of hrs shots Gadbury, on the other hand, seemed perfectly happy to set up the baskets and ossrbly S8Cf1f1CC hrs scormg opportumty Rrch was a well nlgh perfect floor general Always calm an alert, the way he could drxbble that hall down the floor was a thmg of beauty Coordmatxon, and tlmxng, and grace were rn hrs every movement Anderson could always be depended on rn the txght spots and hls ab1l1ty to gain pos sesslon of the ball was mvaluable at tnmes The whlte harred boy, Seymour from Seymour, was perfectly relaxed and a dead eye Dlck on shots Darrell Ba1ley really came through thxs year and hxs superlor helght enabled hxm to drop rn manyavaluable basket when xt was badly needed Brll Sago was another who could be rn there steallng the ball and then makmg some uncanny baskets CRemember the last two m 5 seconds rn the Champalgn game at Fxsher7D Barnes, Meece, Peck, Bartley, and Hoffman were truly relxable substxtutes and played well when they had the chance All In all 1950 cretaxnly was our most successful season, charactenzed by wonderful records, good team spxrxt, and an excellent followlng whrch won wrthout boastrng the lost wlthout alrbxs Congratulatlons from PAXTON'S . . . ,, . . . .

Compliments Of REPUBLICAN PRINTING CO. and Piatt County Republican ,, The Band plays and furnishes concerts--- and enters contests M, l DRUM MA OR AND MAIORETTES marches, .... - IOANI PIKE The ftlonticello lligh School Band has been very busy this year. Un Sep- tember 23, the band put on an excellent, fast moving show during half-time at the football game. It's title was Sports Calendar . The band is very proud of its im- pressive Maior and the two Majorettes. Bert Stoddard was chief whistle-blower with Ioan Pike and Nell Branch on each side. An outstanding feature of the foot- ball half-time shows was the use of hat lights. These lights were used in for- mations done in the dark. The format- ions in which the hat lights were used were wholeheartedly accepted by the audience for their cleverness and orig- inality. ft BERT STODDARD NELL BR ln the show for flomecoming the band built their theme around the four queen candidates. The music and for- mations were especially worked out by the director, ftlr. Watkin lones, and Mr. Vernon Kuetemeyer. This show was put on for one of the largest crowds to audience the Monticello Vligh Band. The band has its officers just as does any other la These officers, under the direction of Bert Stoddard, the president, help Mr. Iones keep order. They also help him in any task that is undertaken. The Annual Music Festival was held in December. The band and chorus students from all of Piatt County part- icipated. In the evening a concert was rge organization. given in Moore gymnasium.

L 9' Chorus members sing for their own pleasure and profit and the entertainment of others This year the Monticello High School Chorus has been very active. All sixty-one ofthe members have shown much interest in its activities, and this is what is needed for the making of a successful organization. An enjoyable Christmas program was put on at the December meeting of P.T.A. This program was especially important because it was the last choir program under the direction of Mr. Iohn Norman. Mr. Norman left Monticello at the end of the first semester to accept a position in Danville, Illinois, as the manager of a music establishment. Ile had been with us for ten years, and both he and Mrs. Norman are greatly missed from many of the community activities. L BRANCH--VGCALISTQ ' Mr. Gerald Perkins came to us at the beginning of the second semester. lie isagraduate of Illinois Wesleyan University. Although only twenty-one years of age, Tdr. Perkins has had much experience in the field of music, both as a participator in choral work and as an accompanist. Mr. Perkins has proved to be a good friend as well as a good teacher to the chorus students. There have been several different choral groups this year. Both the girls ' double quartette and the boys' double quartette participated in contest. Ralph Meece, Bert Stoddard, Richard Leach, Delmar Clow, Gary Brown, Virgil Mewes, Chic Barnes, and Bob Mackey comprise the boys' double quartette. Yvonne Drew, Carol Mills, 'rlarilyn Furry, Carol- yn Smith, Dorothy Leach, Nell Branch, Ianice Ellis, and Carol Timmons Com- prise the girls' double quartette. Several individual soloists went to contest this year. Rliss Nell Branch recieved first at District Contest at Paxton. In April she went to State Contest at Champaign-llrbana and again carrie home with a first. We are all very proud of Nell. During the second semester the choir gave three concerts. We gave a school assembly, which was enjoyed by all. At the Hay meeting of the P.T.A. we gave a program. Uur Spring Concert was held on Sunday, April 30. This concert was a huge success. Perhaps the IUOSI outstanding thing about choir this year is that we have done all of our work acapella. This is a great accomplishment--one that we were very uncertain about at the first of the second semester. Next year we are planning on an even more successful year. Mr. Perkins will be back, and we are going to keep him mighty busy with all our activities. I NELL BRANCH--VOCAL SOLOIST Nell, one of the promising young vocal soloists at Monti- cello High School, attained her goal this year when she won a first rating at the District in Paxton and took a first rating at the Uni- ' versity of Illinois in the State Contest with the song Yours Is My Heart Alone. This is only the second year that Nell has competed in the in the Contest. In her Sophomore year she took a first at the Dis- trict and a third in the State.

After our dinner was finished we all settled back to enjoy a very clever hatchet oration given by Roy Be niamin of the Senior class and Don Record of the Iunior class. For the balance of the evening we danced to the gala music of Bud Rod- erick with Vern Kuetemeyer at the piano.

Y ' ful production of Our Hearts Were Young anfi G-HYN1 Starring Ioan Pike fCornelia' Otis Skinner! and Carol Timmons fEmily Kimbroughl. joan Pike fCorneliaD was a tall, handsome, vital girl. Everything about her personality was colorful and alive. With a definitely opposite affect Carol Timmons IEmi1yJ was a delicately pretty girl. No matter what she did or said everything was perfectly logical to her. Ioan and Carol both mode a perfectchar- acterization of their roles. Bill Sago fLeoD heartily, played the part of an eager-beaver of the twenties with a grade-A result. Don Primmer ,fDickD was more or less the wise-guy in a sophisticated manner. Duane Woodall COtis Skinner, Cornelia's fatherj was definitely a witty man, but of course al- ways in a dignified way. IodieDavid- son CMrs. Skinnerl was exquisitely re- fined and rather conservative in affect. Harold Wilbur flvlonsieur De La Croixb was showy and overdrainatic in an ele- gant way. Marilyn Noecker IWinifred Blaughj and Bernadette Tracy Illarriet St. Iohnl, two English girls, were typi- cal cheerio girls. They were breezy and hardly aware of other people whom they passed. Gene Baldwin fStewardD was a hard-working lad who didn't under- stand Cornelia and Emily's actions and was practically in bewilderment. Gene's characterization of the Steward was perfect. Iunior Heckman CPurserD was a crisp, businesslike man. Iohn Shonk- wiler CAdmiralD was an overly-gracious man. Iohn added to this roll a beauti- ful Continental accent. Owen Anderson fWindow-Cleanerj was easy, friendly, and talkative. Andy was quite at ease as this character. Nola Mitchell fTher- esel was very pretty and doll-like. Loretta Ludwick fMadame Elisej was efficient and garrulous. Nola andLoretta portrayed these French ladies in both actions and conversation. Wayne Cable Clnspectorl was super-efficient and sharp-eyed. Wayne slipped in his own actions for this character which added much humor to his part. Iane Summers CStewardessJ was grim and business- like. Although lane wasn't seen on stage much, she had a large responsi- bility as assistant and prompter for the play. UUR HEARTS WERE YUUNG AND GA my-kk O05 V TTW Q , 4 , ' 6 The Seniors present a light entertaining comedy, COME UVER TU UUR HOUSE Those who responded to the invita- tion to Come over to Our House , in other words to attend the Senior Play on the evening of May 19, were rewarded with an evening of genuine enjoyment and real entertainment. No doubt the oft repeated, It was the best one yet is trite, but there was no doubt but that the twenty two individuals who took part had done an excellent iob. The girls, Pat Bennett, Oneta Smith, Margaret Scott and june Dresback who doubled as ush- ers and an ardent crowd of bobby soxers, left nothing to be desired in spontaneity and interpretation. Another minor part, that of the prize fighter boy friend of May was excellently acted by Harold Blacker, while May, Marilyn Furry, did a good job as the hard-boiled newspaper reporter. Perhaps even more convincing was the pencil chewing, notebook carry- ing reporter from the school paper, as played so naturally by Ina Mae Roberts. Thelma Riley was quite convincing as the attractive widowed mother of three individualistic children. Roy Beniamin, playing his first straight role in his many high schoolappearances, handled the difficult role of lay, the serious minded piano playing son, faced with the problems of alternate careers and alternate girl friends, with ease and conviction. Dorothy Leach also did well as jay's un-identical and highly impet- uous twin, who has to cope with her dopey brother and a boy friend who got stage fright at the wrong time. Vel- ma Miner was the youngest member of this Eldridge family and she played the part of adolescent Marian, suffering the pangs of puppy love and dramatic ambitions and misunderstanding with surprising ease and realism. The neighboring Reynolds family consisted of the father played by Chet Woodall, a widower, Butch, by Charles Hoffman, and Hildred, by Evelyn Day, Lloyd Fray played the digni- fied Mr. King with ease and Ralph Meece, as Hugo, belied any tendency toward stage fright. Iean Schaal handled a dual personality part of Madge Wh-o changed from a plain bookish, unattrac- tive brain to an attractive, woman of the world in splendid fashion. Mary Martin well-nigh broke up all established ro- mances when she arrived as the new girl in town and why not?

Rain and more rain ---- cold and more cold breezes madeit impossible to practice or play until late in the school year and the team came up to the District with a record of only five games played, four lost and one lonegame won. Given little chance to snap the losing streak, the Sages, smarting under a 19-2 lacing administered by Bement a week earlier, snapped back to win their first District Tournament game from the self same Bement aggregation. On the following Monday, aided by unexpectedly good pitching by Sophomore Wheeler and myriad of errors by their opponents Cerro, to advance to the finals.
