However, despite the physical handicaps, We have had a most enjoyable and profitable four years.

What's that???? lt's the Preamble of the Constitution of Morris Com- munity High School. During the past year, we have handed out pamphlets to all beginning students, sponsored the Freshman Initiation and Dance, aroused interest in a new youth center and made the Boys' Double Quartet an authorized organization. We also attended the District Convention at Fairbury and the State Convention in Chicago. We received many new ideas and had a lot of fun. President .................... ,.....

Piehn Page 21 Page 22 enior Cjfcwfi .jskrifory Memory takes us back to September 1943 when we all were shy and afraid as we entered high school, but oh, so proud that we had at last become a Freshman. Remember initiation? We were more painted than any lndian about to set out on the war path! Remember wrestling with Latin, Algebra, and General Science. Remember working on numerous committees? Upper classmen have a way of heaping the heavy work on the unsuspecting Frosh who at first are flattered and then disillusioned. lYou Freshmen know what l meanll Our Sophomore year was a golden year of memories. We had the dance of the year. The Student Council with the aid of the faculty inaugurated new rules for attendance after that dance. And then we were luniors and troubled bygfinances. We sponsored a Donkey Basketball game to raise money for our Iunior-Senior Prom. That Prom did us proud. Our Senior guests were surprised at our ingenuity. That was also the year we sponsored two orchestras for our lunior Class Mixer. Advice to under classmen-always check carefully on this item so this doesn't happen to you-it's expensive! The Senior year arrived and departed all too soon. We busied ourselves with our classes Csomel, our annual lindustriouslifl, and our classmates lwhole heartedlyl. Our class has always been high scliolastically. The honor roll has carried several names from our class every year. The Student Council has been active and strong this year. Many new and Worthwhile ideas were originated by the Student Council President, Helen I-lolderman. A Our Senior boys have been active in athletics all four years. Neush, Dock, Lloyd, Fire, Younker, Smudge, Ollie, Peel, Burt, Shuggy, and Crull are all letter men. Butch Waters showed promise in athletics, but ill health forced Butch from school in our lunior year. Our Senior girls have been a joy to Miss Legate in gym work and G.A.A. Mary lane and Phyl have done able work as cheerleaders. lt is with pride that we are graduating, but it is with sorrow we complete our years of learning and fun at M.C.H.S.

We started the year out right by electing Wayne Trenter as President, Bruce Nelson as Vice-President, Iim Allan as Secretary, and Gerry Kenny as Treasurer. They proved to be very capable leaders. Our sponsors were Miss Allen, Miss Reimbold, Mr. Carpenter, and Mr. Cornish. Many of our boys were out for sports, we also contributed a swell cheer? leader, Marge Iohnson. Our assembly program, It Pays To Be Educated, was enjoyed by all. Our class mixer, centering around the theme of Valentine's Day was also a huge success. Our Iunior Play, Nine Girls, was a thrilling mystery play. We will never forget Madge Rygs as the murderer, Ida Ruth Iohnson as one of her victims, or Doryce Blaine, who solved the mystery. Then, as a fitting climax, we presented the lunior-Senior Banquet and Prom for the Seniors. I With only one year of high school remaining, we hope to complete it as successfully as we have this one.

Many of the Sophomore braves have gone out for sports and next year will be on our varsity team. They furnished a player for the varsity basketball team, of whom we certainly are proud. The squaws also showed their colors when they took tirst place in the bowling tournament. With two years ahead of them to develop themselves in. we know that the present Sophomore Class will graduate as finished products oi old M.C.H.S. -boys and girls never to be forgotten and long to be remembered as the loyal supporters ot every school enterprise.

U O U 6- 6 The Morris Redskins met the Mendota Trojans on the Morris Paper Mill field. This being the first game of the season, everyone was very doubtful of the outcome. The lineup for the Redskins was composed of many players who were playing their first varsity ball. Lettermen returning this year were: Burk- hart, Neushwander, Tabler, Shugart, and Younker. The Redskin's touchdown came in the final period when Tabler, playing lefthalf, found an opening long enough to dash 60 yards on a brilliant run. Dwight ...................................... 6 O O 7-l 3 Morris ........................................ U 7 O O- 7 The Redskins dropped their second game to a fighting Dwight eleven. This game, played on the Dwight field, was the first Corn Belt Conference contest for both squads. The Trojans scored early in the first period, but failed to gain the extra point. Morris stepped into the lead near the end of the half and held that advantage until the last few minutes when Dwight scored on a line plunge. In the last few minutes of the game, the ball was resting one foot from the goal but the time was too short for our fighting Redskins who were defeated by a score of l3 to 7. Normal ...................................... O O O l 4- l 4 Morris ........................................ U O O 0- U The Redskins lost their annual Homecoming tilt to the lronmen from Normal Community High School by the tune of 14 to U. The Redskins played the field with great accuracy on their tackling. The two teams were deadlocked at O to O until the last three minutes when Normal took good advantage of a few breaks to score twice. Although the Redskins lost, the fans were pleased at the fine defense and the fighting spirit the Redskins lacked until the arrival of Coach Wallis a few years back. The game was an even give-and-take all the way until the Morris boys were finally overpowered by a steady barrage of line plunges and were defeated 14 to O. i U. High ...................................... 13 6 O O-19 Morris ........................................ O O 6 O- 6 The Redskins traveled to Normal to play University High's fighting eleven and were defeated 19 to 6. In the first half the green and gold scored three touchdowns and made one extra point while the Redskins were held scoreless. It wasn't until the middle of the third quarter, after an inspiring talk by Coach Wallis, that the Redskins started to play defense as well as a fine offense. Although the Redskins lost, they left Normal assured that they played their best game of many years. Pontiac ...................................... 13 7 12 7-39 Morris .. ...................................... O 0 O O- O The Redskins traveled to Ponitac for their fifth game of the season and were defeated 39 to U by a hard-hitting backfield in long consecutive runs. The Redskins attempted 22 passes and completed 10 for their best average of the season. The Redskins were inches from the goal several times, but the Pontiac line formed a stone wall to stop the fighting Redskins on every drive. Page 99 Lemont ...................................... O 0 O 6-- 6 Morris .................. ...................... 6 7 6 7-A26 Showing fine spirit and hard-hitting drive, the Redskins whipped the Lemont eleven by a score of 26 to 6 on the Morris Paper Mill field before a large crowd. The Redskins recovered on every Lernont fumble and used it to great advantage. Don Neushwander's fine passing helped the Redskins to an easy victory. In the first quarter, Tabler drove 3 yards for the first score. He was followed by Neushwander who ran around end for another, making the score at the half 13 to U. In the third quarter Shugart, after receiving a pass,. crossed the line for another Morris score. Dock then took the ball for a 5 yard plunge over the weakening Lernont line. The Redskins fighting spirit finally came through to bring them their first victory of the season. Trinity ....... ....... ........... ....... 6 6 O 7- l 9 Morris ........................................ O U O 7- 7 The Redskins were defeated by a score of 19 to 7 by a high-spirited Trinity team. The Trinity touchdowns came as a result of blocked punts. The come-back for the Redskins was set by Neushwander who ran 30 yards to cross the goal for the Redskins only touchdown. The attempt for the extra point was a pass to Shugart which was also good, making the' fthal score standing at 19 to 7. Fairbury ....... ....... O U O O--0 . Morris .......................................... U U O 6-6 The Morris Redskins played their last game of the season and were victorious by beating the Fairbury Tartars 6 to U. The game was played on a very muddy field after a week of heavy rain, but this didn't dim the fighting Redskins drive which scored a touchdown in the last period on a pass to Red Enger. This game marked the last game of football for the following Seniors: Crull, Burkhart, Iohnson, Neushwander, Peel, Shugart, and Younker. mf-1-.....,,m . . t-W...,,,,wA-MMMW dmv-Wyman . l VARSITY SQUAD Page l OU QQ 1 WALLIS FERGUSON Z?a:iLefAa!

Paced by George Tabler, running in the distance events, and pole vault, Wayne Trenter, in the dashes, and Burt lohnson in the hurdle events. These three boys, With the addition of Don Hoganson, formed the varsity relay team, which was one of the best in the surrounding area. Other boys who ran on the squad this spring are, Don Neushwander and Don Dock in the hurdle events, Bob Enger and Iim Cryder in the high jump. Earl Bansback ran Well in the mile, and will continue to improve in the next two years. The boys and the coaches deserve a great deal of credit for the commendable performance of the team, in spite of the fact that they were handicapped by not having a track of their own on which to Work out. ' Page 107 M-CLUB The M-Club which is composed ol Varsity letter winners has been very active this year. The Club sponsored the Homecoming Dance and the Alumni Basketball Game. The Lions Club entertained the Varsity Football Team and Coaches. The boys enjoyed hearing lack Elder, former Notre Dame star, relate his ex- periences in athletics. The M-Club sponsored a trip to Chicago to the Professional Basketball tournament on April 5. All members ot the club were eligible to make this trip.

At their regular meetings held each month the programs which are planned and executed by the students have consisted of short skits and pantomimes followed by open discussion and reports on current plays or prominent playwrites. Most of the students who took leading parts in the lunior Class Play and Spring Operetta were active members of the club. A bus trip to Chicago to see the stage presentation of State of the Union was sponsored in the fall. Two more trips are now under consideration. The first similiar to the one taken in the fall, and the second, an expense free trip, as a suitable reward for faithful members when they reach their senior year.

Never a dull moment for the Pep Club. During the football and basketball seasons Pep Club kept up the morale of the school by pep assemblies and a big snake dance and bonfire pow wow at the field. Besides this the club also furnished food for the games. What game would have been complete without pop, candy, or hot dogs? As far as cheerleading was concerned, we had four peppy girls to help the team along. Mary lane May, Phyllis Fread, Marge lohnson, and Patsy Button did a wonderful job all year. Of course the biggest event of the Pep Club year was its annual Formal Banquet and Dance on April l8, which many people claimed was the most successful in many years. Everyone enjoyed himself very much. ' ' Pep Club owes much of its success this year to its energetic president Mary lane May. Page ll5 BIBLIOTHECARY CLUB An innovation this year was the establishment of a point system by which the girls earned points entitling them to awards. These were presented at the annual honors day assembly. Each girl was assigned one period each week in which she was expected to help carry on the business ot the library. The girls helped prepare tor circulation almost tour hundred new books, besides taking care of daily routine duties. Regular meetings were held twice a month. Some of these consisted ot book reviews, literary games and reportsg other were spent in the study oi library techniques. The juniors and seniors entertained the freshmen and sophomores at a Valentine party. The girls are continually planning and working to improve the library and make it more helpful for recreational as well as serious reading.

It has been the policy of the 1946-47 EM-HI, local publication, to bring news of school activities, feature articles, news of general interest, editorials with a purpose, and a little humor into the lives of the students of M.C.H.S. To do this, we have had a staff of fifteen students, the personnel of which has changed occasionally, and two sponsors, Mr. Carpenter and Miss Allen. Marge Iohnson served as our editor, and the following students have served in various capacities as Sports Editor, Alumni Reporter, Business Man- ager, F.F.A.

From that time forth the meetings of this organization have been the most popular occurrences in the activities of most of the boys in M.C.H.S. Because all the boys of the school automatically belong to the club, its possibilities and backing have been unlimited. We have taken advantage of the reserve of program possibilities existing in our faculty. Two of the greatly enjoyed programs of the year were the sharing of War experiences with the group by Mr. Cornish and Mr. Reed. Those are possibly the only times some of the boys ever listened to their teachers and were sorry that the talks had to end so soon! Numerous movies on crime prevention and of the Crime Does Not Pay series were absorbed by the fellows of the club this year. Attempts to organize inter-mural sports were prominent in our activities. These, however, were made impossible by the lack of sufficient time and facilities. Under the able sponsorship of Mr. Smith and Mr. Cravens and the leader- ship of President Lloyd Hanson, Vice-President Burt lohnson, and Secretary- Treasurer Bill Lund the Boy's Club has had a successful year and has shared many not-to-be-forgotten experiences. Page ll9 Page 120 T GIRLS LEAGUE The Morris Girls League, which includes all the girls of Morris Com- munity High School has done a fine and interesting job all year. The club entertained us with a very amusing Talent Show, besides other very edu- cational club programs. The girls also sponsored a very interesting and entertaining Fashion Show. A dinner and formal initiation was held also at the end oi the year to honor the past and new officers. President ................... ......... P hyllis Fread Vice-President ......... .........

To another he gave half of the cookies he then had left and half a cookie. To the third brother he gave half the cookies remaining and half a cookie. When he was through he had given away all the cookies and no cookie had been broken. How many cookies did he have to begin With? This is a sample of the trick problems presented at the February meeting of the Icosohedron Club. Other equally enjoyable programs planned by Vicef President Werner Frank, have been presented. Among the oustanding ones was an informal talk by Mr. Cravens in which he pointed out the many advantages and purposes of taking as much mathematics as possible. Among the other programs, which the members found both interesting and educational, were ones in which were discussed the use of the slide-rule, demonstrations of surveying, special reports on such matematical subjects as the magic square, and the continuance of a special Christmas program which seems to be headed for establishment as an annual custom, at least, so its members hope, The club finished drafting its constitution which they were not able to agree upon before this year. This year has been a full and interesting one for the members and all profited by being members. Page l28 t F. F. A.
