Wearing of the Green seemed very appropriate for the seventy-eight freshman that enrolled in Sept- ember,1948. Evelyn Howard was elected our Freshman Queen Candidateg not very old, but Aint She Sweet? As Time Goes By we reach that goalg that day when we were no longer Green Freshmen. Yes we were sophomores. Star Dust entered into Carol Mills's raven locks as she reigned as our queen candidate. Bud Rodericks' band playing My Wonderful One ushered in Yvonne Drew, our Junior Queen Candidate. Evadne Day played the lead in our class play, ANNE Oh' GREEN GABLES. Why is it that this color green continues to follow us The theme of our prom was Club 51 . We can still hear them playing Too Young. lt's surprising that fifty-five seniors can finally at this point, firmly declare, I'1l Get By! Now, after four years of 'LWhispering , Slow Poking , and Meanderin! Pat Trimble was elected our Homecoming Queen of 1951. She served faithfully four years as one of our Varsity Cheerleaders. Helen Cook served as three and Janice Ellis served her senior year. We are proud to have had three Senior Varsity Cheerleaders to root for our team. Chick Barnes has held a class office each year and this year was elected our Student Council President.

Jacqueline Jac Grayson CJean Dossb, is a delight- fully high spirited college girl. Because of her child- ish tendency to let her enthusiasms run wild, she is fired with theatrical ambition as soon as she learns that a summer theatre has been established nearby. Julia March CYvonne Drewi, the domineering and eccentric owner of the city paper which Jac's father fChick Barnes? edits, has founded the theatre in order to further the ambitions of her beautiful. pampered granddaughter Rosemary CPat Trimblei. Mrs. Grayson CBeverly Shinnemanb is Jac's loving and understanding. mother. Helen CDorothy Peterson? is Mrs. Grayson's boistrous maid. When all of them arrive to start the play, Dan Lyons CPhil Seymourb, a handsome vibrant young theatre director, is among them. Immediately, Rose- mary and Jac are at odd-over the important role and over Dan Lyons. Their rivalry is complicated by the arrival of Jac's college-suitor, Dick Clement CJohn Feltsj and the frenzy of Jac's amusingly lazy brother, Glenn CFred Williamsb over the beauty of Rosemary. The many and hectic difficulies involved in produc- ing a play, as well as the entertaining irascibility of Jac's harrassed father, all add to the hilarity of the play. When a gossipy neighbor lady, Mrs. Sparks CEllen Burnsh, overhears a rehearsal scene, she mistakenly jumps to the conclusion that Rosemary and Dan have become engaged and puts it into the paper. Crushed at the news, Jac and her brother leave home in an unfriendly neighbor's sailboat. Reporters from a national picture magazine arrive, Ella Stone and Fred CCarol Mills and Paul Lillyh, adding to the confusion. Jac's father is forced to take over Glenn's role in the play and Julia's' domination of him causes a slight rift in his marital relationship. Then Jac returns, a wiser girl, more independent. and with a job of her own. Irene Colden CHelen Cook? has taken over Jac's part, and is afraid that Jac will want it back: but Jac says that she is re- porting on the play so doesn't want it. Agnes Golden CShirley Lubbersh was going to sue for the prize money, but after Glenn's return, changes her mind. The authoress of the play, Anne Barry CRoberta Brianl is the very bewildered fiancee of Dang who comes to break her engagement. But all the mix-ups right themselves, and the comedy ends happily. The play was well received by a highly entertained audience. All the characters were well portrayed. The various stage problems and properties were handled by: Wayne Meece, Phil Seymour, Don Peck, and Noel Alexander. The play .was under the able direction of Miss Mildred leming.

Dean Doss W mm ' A awvo We are at last Juniors and slowly, but surely, Movin' On . Let's Turn Back the Hands of Time and see what we have done. To start off, we elected class officers. Those who Sound Off are President, John McFeetersg Vice President, Mona Secristg Secretary, Shirley Tim-monsg Treasure, Don Rex, Student Council Representatives, Marilyn Alexander and Dean Doss. They lead us through a year we can look back upon with pride. Our first big event-was Homecoming. The class picked Edith York for its Queen Candidate. Edith and her escort, Kenneth Hearn, made a very charming couple. As the custom goes, we Juniors had most of the stands at the football games. Maybe Pm Right and May- be I'm Wrong ---- but we all worked hard to feed all the many cold and hungry people. On November 16 we presented the annual Junior Class Play. Its title was Ever Since Eve . Mrs. Ruth Torrence, new speech teacher, was faculty director. John McFeeters played one of the leading roles. So, As Time Goes By and then comes the end of the year, we leave the seniors the cherished Memories of the Junior-Senior Prom, and we look forward to our School Days as Seniors. 1 LJ ELEANOR BENSON JACK MINER JOANN NOECKER JOHN CLAXTON RICHARD HODGES JOAN NORFLEET DORIS YORK CHARLES VAN VLEET JUANITA WOODALL RICHARD LEACH DAVID MACE RICHARD LINDSLEY wmv, num sf, nun sf GERALD GILLESPIE TELL M WNV WYDELL SECRIST LARRY MCCLURE CARL WRENCH MARGARET VAN VLEET SHIRLEY TIMMONS ROBERT MACKEY SHIRLEY SPRAGUE JOHN MCFEETERS KENNETH HEARN CAROLYN SMITH TOM MARTIN DON REX GORDON TURNER RUTH SUMNER FRED DOTY MONA SECRIST MARILYN ALEXANDER ROSS MITCHELL ROBERT SCOTT BARBARA DUBSON FERN MORENZ DEAN DOSS MAXINE BROWN JOYCE GOEGGLE HOW 800112 ? pw-u '27 ' Z2 M 15 GEE , I WISH JOHN FEENEY DOLORES DICKERSON DONALD JOHNSON MELBA HECKMAN XVAYNE ALEXANDER KEITH BUCHANAN CHARLES PATRICK PATRICIA WEISCOPE NOEL PIKE JAMES LEISCHNER EUGENE WRENCH JAMES TWIST JOANN PADGETT SUPHUMURES Advisors: Mrs. Beatrice Quinlan.

We all got together and had a big Pow-Wow and came up with some very efficient leaders who were: President, Carolyn Dresbackg Vice President, Joe Chalk: Secretary, Sally Patrickg and Treasurer, Bob Sain. We elected Effie Smith and Jim Walden to be the Student Council Representatives. We campaigned Night and Day for our lovely little queen candidate, Irene York, and had a very fine float to represent our freshman class. Our class party was something to talk ahoat. 'Swing your Partner , which means we had a gay square dance, The freshman were the 'Hot Canaries when the spotlight came to music. The majority of the freshman were in either the band or choir. Last but not least, comes the athletic activities, Almost all of the freshmen boys had one athletic activity on their list and our class is convinced that we're going to be tops when the limelight comes to athletics in the future. An Oscar is in order for our peppy little cheerleaders. These vivacious gals were Sally Patrick, Irene York. Darlene Bennett, Mary Kay Sumner and Doris Ann Sago. And so we say Good-Bye to our Freshman year, and assume a new title, Sophomores! .fl OW POKE' ,996 If I Maia MW VR in 1 vin, ig Wifi,-H' Compliments of BELA STODDARD DONALD SUMMERS BETTY DONALDSON VIRGINIA MADDEN DORIS HANELINE JERRY HARDY CAROLYN LUBBERS SUZANNE SHONKWILER NORMAN SMITH ROGER LILLY JOYCE BECKHART JERRY MORGAN .IANIS DYE Q H MARILYN CAMPBELL LARRY COZAD DONNA NORTON JIM WALDEN CAROLYN DRESBACK JERRY DOWNEY JOYCE JONES CAROLYN PHILLIPS JUDITH BRUHN FRANCIS LARSON SALLY PATRICK EFFIE SMITH ZYCATTEP BP N WH V FAN 'T YOU BEAVAVE' DON DUBSON RUTH ANN BEEBE BARBARA BENSON LARRY BOWER DARLENE BENNETT MARILYN LUBBERS JOE CHALK PEGGY HETTINGER LINDA VARNER BARBARA AMMANN MARY KAY SUMNER HARRY MCCLURE KENNETH SMITH MARJORIE MCINTYRE RAY HETTINGER DORIS SAGO DONNA HATFIELD RONALD HOWARD CHRIS KOSS IRENE YORK PEGGY HILGENDORF RICHARD PERRY MAURICE OAKLEY ELAINE CLAPP BW CHD F00 I Av PUMO PETER CACIOPPO JOHN BENJAMIN TERRY GREGORY RONALD DEAN JUDITH BURNSIDE TERRY CRESAP BOB SAIN JAMES WILLIAMS JOHN ELLIS CAROLE BLACKER HARELD BURKE DONALD TRIMBLE WILLIAM LONG DARELD BURKE BILL DRESBACK JANE LYON SARAH WILLIAMSON PAUL MACE JOHN HAWBAKER NOBLE TARTER T r Nev 0 emrepeo My Mmo knee owe: WORKING DREHMING or Mv Arrfc non Q7 EATING SLEEPING Best Wishes from PARIS CLEANERS, Bo PI.

On October 26 the annual Homecoming Dance was held. To the eyes of outsiders that might seem to be all of it. The students of M. H. S. know that there was a lot more to it than that. To begin with, the two weeks prior to that had been hectic ones for any students who could draw, paint, and decorate. If anyone ventured near the gymnasium, he saw many students buzzing around like bees or crawling like ants tto paint pictures, that ish decorating our large gym. The night before the Atwood game and the long awaited dance was our annual opener-the big Bonfire which was held on the high school parking lot. Here cheers were led by our five cheerleaders and pep talks were given by teachers, coaches, members of the football team and any- one who felt they had a big enough voice to be heard above the noise of the students. The day of the dance, school was let out at noon after a football movie and treats. And did we need it after our hard work! Then the huge parade was formed with all of the floats which the different classes and organizations had been secretly working on. Each float was followed by various members afoot, except the queen candidates who rode in dignified style-each on her own classy float. The football players also were honored by a free ride on the F.F.A. float. The parade, led by our marching band, stopped en route on the public square where a lively pep session was held. Prizes were then awarded to the walking G.A.A. float. the organization F.B.L.A. floats, and the class division senior float. While some students rested, others served at the annual P.T.A. supper, which was cooked by the mothers. The gala night finally arrived, and after a glorious win over Atwood by a score of 28-0, the dance began much to the excitement and pleasure of the approximately 800 'TNS 450 OWDEQLAN SX x. 5-4--rf ,f1i1 people who attended. The theme of the 1951-52 Home- coming was Sages in Wonderland . Upon entering the gym, guests walked through a ten foot key-'hole which framed the double doors. Q1-lichard Leach and Gary Brown did a fine job on it.J From the false ceiling of red and white paper were hung colorful Chinese lanterns. Around the edges of the shining dance floor was seen-ugh!-a ten foot caterpillar, a rabbithole, and huge mushrooms. The walls were filled with gay cartoons, Cmost of which were drawn by Norman Smith.J All decorations were based on the story of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. The band-stand was framed by painted shrubbery and on the stand stood two figures of men fashioned after playing cards. The whole effect was very pleasing. Mr. Charles Machamer, art instructor, who just came to our high school this year, was the very able advisor. Co-chairmen were Mona Secrist and Carolyn Dresback. At 9:30 P. M. THE DANCE began. Many persons danced to the enjoyable music of Johnny Bruce's orchestra. At 10:15 the arrival of the queen and her attendants was an- nounced by Coach William Brady and the trumlpeteers: Ellen Burns, Joetta Darsham, Maxine Brown, and Judy Bruhn. The first in appearance were the attendants who were dressed in beautiful formals. They were Doris York, Junior, and her escort Kenneth Hearng Peggy Nolan, Sophomore, and her escort Edward Boyle, and Irene York, Freshman, and her escort Gary Barnes. Following a final fan-fare from the trumpets the queen, Pat Trimble, enter- ed on the arm of her escort Wayne Meece. She was beautifully dressed in a pink formal and wore a cloak of royal purple. Pat walked to the throne where she was crowned and kissed by the football co-captains Noel Alex- ander and Chick Barnes. The queen and 'her attendants led the grand marchg after which dancing was resumed. Midnight ended Mon- ticello's 1951 Homecoming celebration. A 6000 N AI IS HAPD T0 FM! As each spring rolls around. the girls prepare for their big night-Spring Reversal which is sponsored by the G.A.A. The dance was held this year on March 28 in our freshly decorated auditorium. At this gala affair the music was furnished by Dick Weber and his orchestra. As the name, Reversal. suggests, the girls invite the boys: and there is much suspense until everyone find out who is taking whom. To heighten the festival mood. the auditorium was made to look like a fair from the theme, 'Leap Year Affair. The illusion of a tent was created by a ceil- ing of crepe paper over the dance area. The walls of the rest of the room carried scenes from side shows. The attractive refreshment stand sold sand- wiches, pies. and cakes, donated by the G.A.A. girls, and soft drinks. The chaperons were the faculty members and their husbands and wives. The dance was well at- tended and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Our appreciation goes to the GA.A. girls and their sponsor, Miss Gwen Elder. Compliments of WEST PONTIAC ' 7 1 , f. . as , N 5553545 ,Rig , ,YQ 5 ,Aww Q24 5 'U , f I f hr af fi AM? EU 115 Dean .

On November 26, l95l, the Junior Class gave their play EVER SINCE EVE, which was a comedy about a high school girl and boy, Susan Blake fCar- olyn Smithb and Johnny Clover CJohn McFeetersD. Johnny, who is the editor of the Preston High School PENGUIN, doesn't want Susan to have anything to do with it. So Johnny and Spud CDean Dossb, the business manager try their best to keep the girls out. But Susan, with the help of Martha Willard CJoAnn Padgettl, the journalism instructor, forces her way in along with Betsy Erwin CMarilyn Alex- anderb. Before the end of the second act Susan, always with the best intentions, has almost bankrupt the PENGUIN. She has also shaken the friendship of the musketeers over Lucybelle Lee CJoAnn Noeckerb, a Southern girl, and has given the two boys the measles. When her innocent enthusiasm, using a condemned pinball machine to raise money for the PENGUIN, nearly lands them ni jan, Johnny's mother, Mrs. Clover 4Shirley Timmonsl, steps in and persuades Cappy Simmons CBob Scottl, the small town policeman, to let them go. Mr. Clover CJohn Claxtonl, Johnny's absent-minded father, also tries to smooth affairs. The climax is reached when Henry Quinn CCarl Wrench? and Martha Willard leave to be married, and Lucybelle, Spud, Susan, and Johnny go to the dance while Pres Hughes CTucker Pik-el, the foot- ball captain, sits at home with the measles.

The formal dinner-dance, held in the high school auditorium, was preceeded by strenuous activity on the part of the Juniors. They chose as their theme Evening in Paris. The auditorium was transformed into Parisian scenes. One wall was turned into a street Csee center right? lined with shop windows Cno one guaran- teed that the apparel on display was actually flown from Paris for the occassionb and lighted by a streetlamp. The street ended in a little park where there were iron benches around a running fountain where guests could pose before the camera of the famous French photographers, Kuetemeyer and Co. The other wall became the distant skyline of Paris with the famous cathedral Notre Dame outlined by moonlight. The back drop on the stage, which was also the bandstand, showed the Eiffel Tower against the sky. An excellent dinner was served at the Sidewalk Cafe Csee center leftb .

The game was with Normal University high school at Normal. It was supposed to be a good game between two good teams. However, it was a typical first game. The Sages clearly asserted their superiority, but could win by only a 13-0 score. The scoring came from a Pike to Seymour pass in the 2nd quarter, after which Pike converted, and on a plunge by Williams in the 3rd quarter. The second game was against Coach Brady's old team, Farmer City. Again the Sages didn't look good. Farmer City scored early and the Sages couldn't get close to their goal. Finally Farmer City was forced to punt from their goal line. Wayne Meece tucked the ball in on the 40 and made a pretty run to the 5. From there the Sages went over with Meece scoring and Pike converting. From there it was a defensive game till midway in the 4th quarter, Barnes intercepted a pass and ran 22 yards for a touchdown. The final score was 13-6. The third game they played was easily their worst. They played a' fine Unity team and soon found out they had a long way to go to be- come a good team. They weren't expecting the likes of Mr. Grothe and Thrash and soon found themselves far behind. Although not nearly as much a better team as the 42-13 score indicated, they definitely made us look bad. lt was then the Sages started working hard to redeem themselves. Their only scores came on a Pike to Seymour pass in the first quarter and on a second quarter drive which ended with Williams scoring from the 2nd and Pike converting. Next they traveled to Villa Grove where acting captain Fred Williams celebrated his birthday by scoring 2 touchdowns to lead the Sages to a win in their first conference game. His scores came on a 10 yard dash in the first quarter and late in the last quarter on a pass interception and a 70 yard runback. Pike made one conversion. The Sages are most proud of the next game, They journeyed to Tuscola and trounced the Warriors 39-12, to spoil their homecoming. It was Monticello all the way as they won for the first time since 1945. The passing and running attack were both good as Meece, Williams and Pike all scored two touchdowns with Pike getting three extra points. The defense was excellent, as Tuscola didn't score till the Sage Var- sity was on the sidelines. They suffered a letdown the next week against a fair Sullivan team and spotted them a 7 point lead before winning 20-7. They played poorly till a 60 yard pass from Meece to Barnes and a 20 yarder to Seymour fired them up. Touchdowns were by Meece, who got 2, and Williams, with Pike getting 2 extra points. Next week was homecoming and a highly regarded Atwood team with the conference leading scorer Norman Hale, came to town. The Sages soon overpowered them, winning 28-0. The credit must go to their defensive line, who seldom let the Atwood backs get more than a yard or two. Monticello backs were good too, though, as Williams, Pike, LeCrone and Sebens all scored a touchdown with Pike getting 3 extra points and Meece one. November 2 was a cold night, but the Sages seemed warm as they trounced Cerro Gordo, weak this year, but always rough, 40-0. All of the Sages played, with Williams scoring twice and Meece, C. Barnes, Pike and McClure scoring one. Pike added 4 placements. Monticello's close rival, Bement, journeyed here to play M.H.S.'s 1 QM 1. Q sf . I' Best Wishes from KAP CHEVROLET final game. The day prior to the game, 11 inches of snow was on the field, but it was cleared off, leaving an absolute mud bath. The Sages, however were the best mudders by a score of 27-12. Seymour caught 2 touchdowns and Pike and Sebens scored once, Sebens' being the only touchdown runback of a kick-off the whole year. Pike came through with 3 extra points. Cl-MMI! B 061505 MOORE, RAY Our senior center, who also played defensive tackle, had experience and nice size, carry- ing 180 'pounds on his six feet frame. Ray got a kick out of football and the team got a kick out of old Bag . IVALL. RON A senior whom we will greatly miss because of his rough and tumble play. He was a strong offensive guard and a rack-em, sock-em de- fensive linebacker. He was our leading tackler with 57. LILLY, PAUL Quick, scrappy, and tough, Paul made up for his lack of weight with his obvious aggressiveness, and quickly won and held the of- fensive guard berth. He graduates, however. REX, DON A junior who will be expected to fill Ivall's shoes next year. With a little more desire, he could be a tough cookie in that line next year. ALEXANDER, NOEL There are two things 20 horses can't keep Noel from-food and football. Five feet eleven inches and 235 pounds, he was rated too slow for offense, but the was terrific as a defen- sive guard. A senior, he is a good college prospect. PECK, DON Six feet two inches and 200 pounds, he is a fast and experienced tackle. Don is very capable when riled. He was in charge of knocking down ends as big as he was and at times completely demoralized the poor guy. He is a senior. FELTS. JOHN John got little credit for fine work. When he wasn't being carried off the field, he was doing a thorough job of out-talking and out-fighting his opponent. We lose him too. HEATH. DICK A senior, Dick is a quiet, hard work- er who made the most of every chance he had to Slay. His best play was a tackle of the Bement full- ack, Romackg which sent Romack flying 10 feet and put him out of the game. l ORA O. PIKE. Ford Dealer CAA Pl NIIIP Complimenis of O. L. DOTY All - Cl IIE!! MEECE. WAYNE He was called our most improved ball player. Wayne became by the end of the season the best quarterback in the conference. He became a good passer and had a nose-breaking straight arm. He's a senior, also. PIKE, NOEL A junior, with lots of athletic ability, he was our point-kicking specialist this year. He also can punt run and pass and could be great if he can attain a cool head and fire himself up. WILLIAMS, FRED He is hard to stop. Fred used his 185 pounds to power his way through the line and then turned on unusually good speed when in the open. No other back in the conference could match him in both passing or running, but he's a sen1or. LECRONE, LARRY Only a sophomore, but already having won 2 letters in football, he should be ter- rific if he can get a little size to go with his blinding speed and quickness. He made' a pretty 38 yard touchdown run in the Atwood game. SEBENS. I-'RED One of the most conscientious boys on the squad, this senior gave up his fine ball- carrying talent to block for the other backs. How- ever, in the Bement game, he ran a kick-off back 75 yards for a touchdown against his former school. BARNES. CHICK Chick held down the left wing on offense. On defense he was a strong, hard-tackling linebacker, and called defensive signals. A senior, he stood six feet two inches with 180 pounds, which made him an excellent pass target. He was elected honorary co-captain. SEYMOUR, PHIL He is known mostly as a basketball whiz. Phil displayed fine football talent this year. He combined his six feet one inch, 170 pound frame with speed and the experience of a senior to be a fine end. He was elected an honorary co-captain. MCCLURE. LARRY This junior is just finding him- self. With a nice collection of fakes and a cool head, he looks like the perfect choice for quarterback of the '52 Sages. HEARN. KENNY Also a junior, big Ken should be a good man in there next years if his trick knee will leave him alone. At six feet two inches and 185 pounds he is a big and rough enough to make life miserable for opponents.

Their first game away was with Champaign. The Sages looked pretty bad, as only Seymour could hit and the team was trounced 58-37. Seymour made 13 points, while Peck hit 10. Monticello then played 2 breathers at home, beating Lovington 73-37, with Seymour hitting 16 and Peck 14 and -beating Mansfield 72-36 as Sey- mour hit 22 and Chick Barnes 17. The Sages opened their conference play by trouncing Bement 61-34 in Moore gymnasium. Chick Barnes led all scorers with 18 points. They next visited the Tuscola Warriors, and balanced scoring led us to victory 55-45. Chick Barnes had 13 and Peck and Williams each had 12. On their home court they played their best game, trouncing Lincoln of the Big 12, 59-39. Again it was scoring balance that paid off as only the five starters scored. Chick Barnes had 16, Peck 15, Seymour 12, Williams 9, and Gary Barnes 7. On December 12, the Sages entertained Johnston City, a tough southern team, and were beaten 65-56. Seymour hit 20 but nobody else could help much. December 27-28-29 the Sages played in the third annual Monticello Holiday Tourney, With Seymour getting 16 points, the Sages, with balanced scoring, managed to down DeLand-Weldon 59-58. In the second game, Lakeview desperately scored a basket with only 5 seconds remaining to beat Monticello 50-49. Seymour, Peck, and Barnes had 37 points between them, but that was not enough. Monticello then beat Mansfield again for third place, 58-44, with everybody playing and scoring. On January 8 Monticello resumed Okaw play at Oakland, where a small gym ruined the Sages speed. They played fairly good ball, however, com- ing from behind with two minutes to play to win 50-47 despite the fact that Seymour and Peck were out with fouls. Chick Barnes hit 23 points. In this game Meece and Felts took over for Seymour and Peck in the closing minutes and were key men in the victory. Next, Monticello journeyed to Cerro Gordo where 13 points apiece by Barnes and Peck and 12 by Seymour gave the team a 45-31 win and first place in the conference. The Sages then scored their fifth win in the conference at the expense of Atwood, 57-35 in Moore gymnasium. Barnes had 19 points with Williams next in line with 12. The next game was an odd one with Arthur trying to draw the Sages out of their zone and the Sages refusing to budge. The Sages won 19-12 getting 10 of their points in the first quarter. Peck played well, getting 10 points. 1957 - 52 Next, came the Okaw Tournament. The Sages opened with Newman on January 22 and were in trouble until they started working. Monticello pulled away, finally, to a 62-42 victory with Chick Barnes and Peck hitting 12 and Phil Seymour 11. On January 23, the Sages advanced to the semi-finals by beating Atwood 64-41 on a well-balanced scoring attack, Seymour had 14, Barnes ll, Pike and William 10, and Peck 9. On the 25th Monticello played Arcola and with one of their best games, winning 60-50. Williams and Seymour were outstanding on offense with 16 and 14 points. While Peck and Barnes controlled the boards and did well defensively. On January 26, the Sages 'battled Tuscola for the Championship, which ended in storybook fashion. With 10 seconds left Tuscola made a basket to put them ahead. Seymour then looped in a 25 footer with but 3 seconds remaining, to win the game 56-55. The Sages were happy for the win but not pleased by their rather poor performance. Seymour led the Sages with 16 points. T-he Monticello team then played 2 non-conference games losing to Urbana in a poor game 45-39 and to St. Teresa 61-41. Peck had 12 and Chick Barnes had 10 in the Urbana game. Seymour didn't play against the tough St. Teresa team and only Chick Barnes could hit, as he col- lected 13 points. The Sages bounced back with a fine win over Villa Grove for their 7th Okaw victory, 89-60. Williams hit 19 points, all in the first half, as did Peck with Chick Barnes close behind with 18 and Seymour 13. An Okaw team finally beat the Sages. It was Sullivan, 56-53. The Sages beat themselves with poor playing, however, Peck, Felts, and Williams had 10 points, Chick Barnes 9 and Seymour 8. Arcola then came to town and again the better team lost by poor playing, 53-51. Chick Barnes hit 14 points and Peck hit 11. This dropped the Sages to second in the Okaw. The Sages came back to win at Newman, 63-47 with Seymour getting 17, Peck 15 and Williams 14. This gave the Monticello squad the share of the Okaw title. The Sages then went to Oakwood the following Friday and came from behind to win 61-53 in a poorly officiated, poorly-played game. Chick Barnes had 17, Seymour 14 and Peck 13. Monticello's last game of the regularly scheduled games was at home against Mt. Pulaski, to whom the Sages lost 72-60. In the Regional, Seymour's 25 points, the year's high, led the Sages to a victory over the improved Bement Bullodgs, 71-63. Chick Barnes added 17. Monticello's second game, and last of the season, was with Unity. Unity was blazing hot, the Sages ice cold, and were upset 62-49, Seymour and Chick Barnes each hitting 15. 54655 ' PHIL SEYMOUR 6' l , 175 pound forward. Elect- ed our most valuable player, Phil had one of the best touches on the ball of anyone ever to play for M.H.S. A sprained back cut down his scoring, but there was always hope when he was in the game. DON PECK 6' 2 , 200 pound center and forward. The big boy had a fair year this year, and is a small college prospect. He has good spring and can be a tough rebounder when he is aroused. He also has a nice touch and is good on defense? He was elected an honorary co-captain. CHICK BARNES A senior this year, 'tChick will be greatly missed when basketball rolls around next season. He was one of our high scor- ers and our most consistant rebounder. He was elected an honorary co-captain. FRED WILLIAMS 5' 101fi , 180 pound guard toss- ing a terrific left-handed hook, Fred was a hard driver and a good man on a fast break. He is also a fine defensive player and a great team man and competitor. He will be missed. WAYNE MEECE 5' ll , 170 pound guard much faster than he looks, has good possibilities of making a college team. He trains well and likes to play. JOHN FELTS 6' l , 180 pound guard, John stuck with basketball till his hard work gave him a first team berth late in the season. He is a very rough iboy under the boards and has a nice eye for the basket. He's a senior. LETTER!!! IV WE WA WHEELER Never lacking a love for basketball, We Wa can be a beautiful faker and a good shot. He's a senior who developed during the latter part of his senior year both in ability and size. LARRY MCCLURE Mac worked his way up from third team to first team and performed well. Hard work, good training and an a-bility to make baskets in any position with men all over him will make him valuable in '52-'53, TUCKER PIKE A hard driver, Tucker was most effective in our press with his speed and quurcknhands. He is a nice rebounder and has pos- sibilities of being a fine player in '52-'53. LARRY LeCRONE Perfect co-ordination and a dazzling speed will make him terrific in a press. He has good spring and makes unbelievable bas- kets. He's only a sophomore. GARY BARNES As a sophomore, Gary showed great potentialities. He is a good ball handler and has a good shooting eye.

AZQNO The Monticello High School Band directed by Mr. Watt Jones, is led down the football field by drum major, Dick Hodges, accom- panied by the two strutting majorettes, Marilyn and Carolyn Lub- bers. The first performance the band presented was held on Septem- ber 21, which included military and novel movements. On February 28 the band journeyed to Illinois State Normal Uni- versity. Here they competed with twenty-five other high school bands. After a parade uptown and back, the bands were placed in their classes, Monticello's place being in Class B. Each band gave an eight minute show. Monticello came back with a second division trophy as marching band. The show for Homecoming was the same one they used for display at Illinois State University. It included a formation for each month of the year.
