Seniors Add To School Spirit The senior class may indeed be proud of the past. Its achievements and contributions to the school cannot be overlooked. The seniors started the year be electing their class officers: president, Gary Barnes: yice president, Richard Tabor, secretary, Dick Warner, treasurer, Patty Recordg Student Council representatives, Shirley Sain, and Jim Mooney. Gary Barnes was also the president of Student Council. The class advisers were Mr. Wally Gregory, Miss Ann Panieri, and Mr. Charles Paoli. At Homecoming the seniors showed their typical competitive spirit 'by winning second place in the float competition. Queen Candidate Patty Record was ushered in by her escort, Syd Dresbaclc, as the Homecoming Queen. The competitive spirit was also shown by the varsity cheerleaders - all seniors - who were Helen Morfey, Patty Record, Helen Harper, Shirley Sain, and Carol Ragle. The senors again showed their worth in the senior class play, CURTAIN GOING UP, under the direction of Miss Mildred Fleming. All in all, the senior class of 1954 has continually shown the very spirit of Monticello High School.

Juniors Show Value Of Unity This junior class has shown the value of class unity. Under the direction of their able officers-president Ronny Howard, vice-president, Jerry Hardy, secretary, Jane Lyong treasurer, Nordie Smithg Student Cou- ncil representatives, Darlene Bennett, Bill Dresback, and the class advisers, Mrs Barbara Cook Miss Gwen Elder, and Mr. Watt Jones - they have tirelessly worked for the benefit of the school. Their cyheery stands at the football games were a welcome sight to the fans. The tireless way in whcih they campaigned for their Queen Candidate Jane Lyons and her escort, Ronny Howard, typifies their abundance of school spirit. They put on a very noteworthy performance of the comedy, MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS, under the direction of Mrs. Ruby Crider. Again at the Junior- Senior Prom they did a good job in their usual form. The juniors may be proud of the past year and look hopefully to their senior year and many more accomplishments. 29 Jim Walden holds the attention of Cseatedi C a r o 1 y n Phillips, Janet Waldman, Linda Varner, Mary Kay Sumner, Sarah Williamson, Irene York, Shirley Waldman, Cstandingb Dick Poling, Nobel Tarter, tkneel- ingj Don Trimble, and Kenny Smith. ii- 'iii K ,Q 4 tFirst row?

P. Shonkwiler Homecoming A Gala Monticello High School Homecoming festivities were initiated Thursday evening, October 17, by the snake dance, which led approximately one hundred cheering students to the bonfire in the parking lot. Mr. Wally Gregory, who was master of ceremonies, presented coaches Gardner and Young, who introduced the football squad. The band, the Hungry Five, and the cheerleaders succeeded in creating enthusiasm in the student body. Friday morning, after seeing a movie, the students lined up their floats to form the parade. Each queen candidate rode on her class float which was followed by the class on foot. The parade, led by policeman Neut Thornberry in the official police car and ended by the FFA farm equipment, took a roundobout route to the square. Here, a brief stop was made for a snappy pep rally before returning to the high school. The winning floats were the sophomore's in the class division and the FBLA and the FHA floats tied for first prize in the organ- ization division. Everyone enjoyed the traditional PTA dinner which was prepared by mothers and served by students in the cafeteria from 5:00 to 6:30 Friday evening. Although Newman led at the end of the first quarter 7 to 0, an aroused MHS team came back in the next three quarters to roll up a 27-13 Homecoming victory. 1 ,J 5:3 I D' Q, W 1 .MW wwf' EDN mlvwwi I 'rl ' az.. f ww...

Reserves Have The Will To Improve The reserve squad was composed of no single brilliant player, but instead was a group of future Sages very outstanding for their willing- ness to work hard. Mr. Tom Young, their able coach, said that the sweat and grind of the past fall would help mold a sturdy group of athletes for the varsity of coming years. Compliments of ORA 0.

Next, Monticello focused it's attention on the Okaw Valley Conference and, after whipping Arcola in a stalling game, '22-16, suffered at Villa Grove what was to be its only conference loss of the season, 42-40. Recovering from this loss, the team took Oakland into camp and then really turned on the steam to defeat Newman, Okaw runner-up, 80-56. In non-conference games the Sages beat Urbana's Tigers, having one of their better years, 63-58, but lost to the St. Teresa Bulldogs from Decatur, 68-54. At the Okaw Tournament at Bement, the Sages drew Tuscola in their opening game and were upset by the Warriors in a very frigid shooting game, 37-33. They captured the important half of the Tuscola series at Tuscola a week later, 54-47. This gave the Sages a conference lead which they never lost. . The M-boys sailed through their remaining conference slate with Atwood, Sullivan, and Cerro Gordo by fairly wide margins to claim the undisputed championship. The trophy they received was the third of its kind in the last five years to come to Monticello. 1 Coach Young then took his charges to Champaign for a regional tune-up. They responded by winning, 52-46. Easy victories over Oakland and again .Cerro Gordo climaxed the regular schedule. The Sages entered the regional as a slight favorite. The tall Sages walloped Mahomet in their first test, 82-49, and edged Urbana for the second time in an overtime the next night, 51-46. On the last night of their three night stand, the Sages season was ended abruptly by a hot-shooting Cham- paign outfit ending the game 65-49.

MONTlCEll0 PlACES IN Truck Squad Okuw With a squad boasting the much publicized Larry LeCrone and Dick Tabor, a fine distance man, Mon- ticello was heralded as being the team to win the 54 track season. Coach Wally Gregory was inclined to worry a bit about the depth of his squad, but after a fine Mon- ticello showing in the Urbana Open, many doubts were erased. The meet produced a new named in high jumping, that of Eddie Boyle, who succeeded in breaking the school record with a leap of 5 feet 1135 inches. Monticello captured all invitational meets with the exception of a tie by a powerful Rantoul squad. The supreme test of the Sage's track team came in the Okaw Valley Meet, staged for the first time on Tuscolais new track. The victory, by a slim margin, was a 'tteam effort. Only a picked few of the Sage squad entered the district meet. Larry LeCrone, limited to only two events, chose the 100 and the 220 yard dashes and won them both. Dick Tabor, Monticellols only other State entry, placed second in the district. Tabor was unable to place in a very fast mile field even though he ran the fastest race of his career. LeCrone sprinted to state honors in the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes with a fourth and a second respectively.

This year a new class called English IV A had its trial. It was made up of thirteen seniors and was under the supervision of Mrs. Barbara Cook, teacher and adviser. Since these seniors had the project of publishing the an- nual, they have worked dili- gently to build a better year- book. Clever promotion ideas were carried out, such as: skits in the cafeteria at noons, en- thusiastic barkers in the halls, concert by t'Hungry Five . a boy's fashion show, and class rivalry to win the thermome- ter contest. A chart contain- ing a thermometer for each class was kept in the hall to register the number of annuals purchased by the diff ere nt classes. The contest closed on September 23. The seniors were the winnersg therefore, they received front and end pieces in the annual as the prize. In September the annual subscription drive and adver- tising campaign was held. To obtain more money for the annual, the staff had stands, sold candy, and pennants. rw ww ers i. N!

Melodies Theme Of Yearly Prom The senior class of '54, board members and faculty were entertained by the junior class at the annual Junior-Senior Prom in the ballroom of the Monticello Community Build- ing on May 15, l954. The theme was 'tMelody Room Blues . The program for the evening was opened with the wel- come address by Ron Howard. Gary Barnes answered on behalf of the senior class. Following this, Ron Howard sang. The meal was served by members of the sophomore class and was prepared by the junior mothers. During the meal Karen McCann played the piano. After the meal, Jerry Morgan acted as master of cere- monies and introduced the remaining program. The tradi- tional hatchet oration was given by Syd Dresback of the senior class and answered by Carolyn Dresback of the junior class. A floor show was given by the Seven Sharps , a group of junior girls - Sally Patrick, Janis Dye, Sarah Williamson, Sue Shonkwiler, Jane Lyons, Darlene Bennett, and Effie Smith.

The Monticello association of the Girls' Athletics is directed by Miss Gwen Elder, the girls' physical educa- tion teacher. The organization divides its activities into two divisions, an athletic program and special activities. The athletic portion of the year's program is fulfilled by such sports as hocky, basketball, swimming, softball, and other similar activities. Special activities of the G.A.A. this year were the playdays, the slumber party held in the gym, the coke dances following the football and basketball games, the annual Spring Reversal dance held April 2 in the high school auditorium, and a camping trip after graduation. Sports After School These GAA girls seem to be thoroughly enjoying a refreshing dip after school. The Monticello students are fortunate in fbeing able to have a swimming pool. It provides recreation as well as the opportunity to learn how to handle oneself in the water. A Good Mun Is Hurd To Find - At Reversal Tlme Friday night, April 2, 1954, the GAA sponsored its annual dance, the Spring Reversal. The theme was Cafe De Parisn and the auditorium was transformed into Parisian scenes. The music was furnished by Wayne Simpsons' MTophatters, from 9 p. m. until midnight. Refreshments of cookies, cakes and cokes do- nated by the GAA girls were sold at a stand at the back of the auditorium. Chairmen of committees were: Mary Ann Doty, theme, Karen McCann, tickets, Shirley Sain, publicityg Joyce Beckhart, decorations, Pat Mitchell, foodg Gwen Gillespie, clean-up. The chaperons were the faculty members and their wives and husbands. The dance was well attended and enjoyed by everyone.

Maudie tries to help her cousin Joy CSue Shonkwilerb to get a boy friend, but Joy succeeds in taking Maudie's boyfriend, Davy CJoe Chalkj. Maudie, in her attempt to get Sylvia a boy friend - either Ted Clion Howard? or Jerry fRoger Lillyb - gets her father, Mr. Mason fNordie Smithl, into trouble with his bank.
