U X i x B g A G ass o 2.9 gfistory The carefree seniors started their high school careers in 1945. As fresh- men they gave one of the most successful mixers of the year. Their success did not stop there: they went on to give an assembly program called Arrows for Cupid, which kept the whole student body rollicking with laughter. During the second year, xthe class sponsored a donkey basketball game to help raise additional funds and gave an assembly program. No senior will ever forget the hours spent on the prom and banquet that was given in honor of the Seniors of '48. Their hard work was fully rewarded by the favorable comments heard during and after the prom. The other out- standing event of the junior year was the junior play Almost Summer. With these events over, the class began ot think of additional ways in which to make money for their senior year. Several projects were undertaken during the senior year. A play Gur Town was well remembered for the graveyard scene and the wedding scene. The seniors gained valuable experience and earned additional money when they managed the Phipps Department Store for two days. A Skru-ball game between the Lions and Rotary Clubs proved to be a novelty. A Style Show was given toward the end of the school year. With the semester examinations all over, the seniors were ready to enjoy themselves on their well-earned trip to Niagara Falls. The days sped by only too rapidly and soon it was time to return once again to terra firma and home. With class night and graduation past the seniors bade farewell to dear old MCHS and the many happy memories they enjoyed there.

After a trying year as Freshmen We settled into the school stride and rode along like regular students. Many of our boys participated in football, basketball, and baseball. Several of that group earned varsity letters. Our girls were very active in school organizations. They were well represented in the Pep Club and proved to be a hearty match for the other classes in the G.A.A. Basketball Tournament. Semester dues were collected, a paper drive made, and several sand- wich sales were held to build a fund for next years banquet and prom. To raise additional money an unusual basketball game was played by faculty members and local organizations. Our second annual St. Patrick Mixer again proved popular with our high school dance band playing. With extra assistance from Miss Watts, the following persons guided our class.

The first class meeting was held on September l6, for the purpose of electing class officers and Student Council Representatives. The following officers were elected: lim Sullivan ..... .................... P resident ferry Enger .............. .......... .................

Several of the freshmen girls sang in the Girls' Glee Club during the year. The band also received the able assistance of several freshmen. At the beginning of the sports year, several of the freshmen boys reported for football. A few of them appeared in the games and proved that they are the future gridiron stars of M.C.l-LS. Later some freshmen boys reported for basketball and baseball. The many clubs that the freshmen were able to become members af were: Pep, Latin, G.A.A., PFA., Library, Home EC., and Drama. All the freshmen appreciated the assistance of Miss Reimbold and Mr. Ferguson, the class sponsors, who helped them during the past year.

These aims were accomplished in several different ways. The charter group was limited to those students who had already had two years of Industrial Arts. New members who had an average of C or higher in their first year in the department were initiated into the club in April. Members of the club worked on projects that could not be done in regular class periods. Chairs were refinished for use in the school library, legs were made and put on a ping-pong table so that members could play and hold a tournament, stage props were constructed, a rostrum for use at assem- blies and various other items for teachers were built. No dues were assessed, but money was raised to pay for ping-pong equipment, pictures and incidentals. Open house was held in the shop the same evening the grade schools had P.-T.A. visitors.

The motto chosen by members of the club was Ex Nehilo Nihil Fit. This means No effort, no result. The club's color is Roman purple. The club, consisting of twenty-five members, met in the Latin room in the high school once a month during homeroom. The meetings consisted of a business session, a program furnished by the students, and refreshments which were enjoyed by all. Besides the regular meetings, the Latin Club gave a Roman banquet at which Roman customs of preparation and serving of food were used. The Spanish classes and faculty members were guests. The banquet was followed by social activities. Many thanks are due to Miss Short, who put much time and effort into making a success of the club.

From the first issue, the paper has been paying its way, and with the profits went on a well-deserved trip to Chicago to see the writing and printing of a large metropolitan daily newspaper. Last year, the Em-Hi received the honor of a Good Rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. The Em-Hi is also a member of the Illinois State High School Press Association. Quill and Scroll, International Honorary Society for High School Iournai- ists, continued to function with last year's two charter members, Earl Bansback and Ronald Sklut, and the new members, Barbara Spandet, Harrietta lones, Ioanna Miller, Rosemary Panish, Mary lane Nelson, Marilyn Erickson, Dick Newell, Midge Halenza, Phyllis Osmundson, and Dorothy Gore. As one of their annual projects, the Quill and Scroll sponsored an assembly featuring Mrs. Arley Munts, who gave an interesting account of her trip to France before the student body. At Christmas time, the Em-Hi sponsored a short story contest which revealed new talent in the school, and prizes were awarded. Also at Christmas, the Em-Hi put out a special holiday issue on red paper with the story of Christ's birth written in present day form, something which attracted much favorable comment. This year marked the introduction of pictures into the Em-Hi. Pictures of students, games, football and basketball teams, parades, etc., appeared in almost all seventeen issues of the paper which resulted in great reader interest. Page 54 Q -Y - il ob S! CD,-am Club The Drama Club of 1948-49 directed by Paul Beringer, has contributed much in the way of dramatics and social activities for the students of M.C.H.S. as well as the club members. P , In the latter part of November, the members of the Drama Club chartered a school bus to spend a gay evening at the Schubert Theatre in Chicago watching the Broadway hit, Brigadoon. The club also held an Oratory and Dramatics contest at the Center School Gym February 17. The Lady of the Homecoming Parade, the Drama Club's first place float was capably put on by Millie Payne and Butch Waters. The members of the club are very proud of the club and their officers. These officers were very capable, dependable, and worked hard. At this time we wish to thank our president, Phyllis Osmundsonp vice-president, Bob Iohnston, and secretary, Mary lane Nelson. Also many many thanks to Mr. Beringer for the wonderful work he has done, not only for the Drama Club, but for the Iunior and Senior classes in directing their class plays, Ianuary ThaW and Our Town. Page 55 .- T. Qifnliotlrecarrlg In September, thirty girls expressed their wish to serve M.C.H.S. through membership in the Library Club. Most of them have given at least one hour of service each Week since the opening of school, and some have contributed more time than that. They have learned to take care of such routine work as simple catalog- ing, helping people locate books, checking shelves, dusting, assisting with inventory, and circulation. By doing these things, they have left more time for Miss Francis to offer suggestions and counsel for students reading, both for reference work and for recreation.

Many thanks are due to these girls for the time and effort they devoted to the club. This year the club's sponsor was Miss Watts who proved to be an able and eiiicient supervisor. Our thanks go to her and the oiticers tor making the 1948-49 Pep Club a huge success, CHEERLEADERS AND INDIAN The cheerleaders are to be commended on the fine job they did this year leading the student body in the various cheers and songs which led the team to many victories. Several new cheers were added to the already varied list of yells. The Indian made her debute this year at the Homecoming football game. She did such a wonderful job that it was decided to see more of her. She brought us right into the spirit of things at the halt of basketball games with her dance under the red spotlight. Headpieces off to our '48-49 Indian, loanna Miller. V Page 59 I1 11' 'W' i?'T? Q---q -L .A Y Page 60 The PEP CLUB, consisting of one hundred thirteen members, makes up the largest organization in the school. lt is also one of the most active clubs, backing our athletic teams with pep and enthusiam and keeping up the morale and spirit of the student body. Before the games, both football and basketball, the different members of the club sponsored those wonderful, intellectual fanyway peppyl pep as- semblies-a crazy skit, a talk by a team member, cheers, and always our fight song and the loyalty. At football and basketball games the girls sold welcome food to the famished students and spectators. They also had bake sales to help raise extra funds. During Morris' first invitational tournament the girls undertook the task of selling confections and soft drinks to the capacity crowds which filled the gymnasium at each game. This year the HOMECOMING was sponsored by the Pep Club for the first time, and turned out to be a tremendous success. The first in the chain of events was the snake dance followed by the burning of the dummy at the M.P.M. Field. Next in line was the parade which featured several beautiful floats. First and second prizes given for the best floats were awarded to the Drama Club and Student Council. At the game Morris tasted victory over Lemont. The peak of events arrived at the dance when Buck Sterritt crowned the Queen, Midge Halenza, and Alieta Hornsby crowned the King, Wayne Tesdal. The Queen and her attendants, Darva Oswood, Dolores Edmunds, and Nancy lo Clayton, were presented with bouquets, and the King and his attendants, Pete Thompson, Bob Enger, and Roger Nelson were presented with boutonnieres. The main event of the year was the Banquet and Prom. The theme of the affair was Spring in the Park which took hours of careful planning and work on the part of every Pep Club girl. But their efforts were awarded when they stepped back to admire their work and also when there were heard throughout the gym sighs and mmm's as the members and their mates entered to enjoy themselves for the remainder of the evening dancing to the music of Gene Victor.

The choir gave ten concerts during the school year: six out-oi-town and four in the several churches oi Morris. The choir's presentation for the veterans at the Dwight Hospital was very commendable. The choir, also, cooperated with the church choirs of Morris in presenting the Cantata The Crucitixionf' The music they sing is the best in choral literature, including composi- tions by Palestrina, Bach, Lvovsky, Praetorus, Nobel Cain, and Martin Shaw. This year through the generosity of the school, the parents, and the friends ot the A Cappella Choir, they were presented with maroon robes, and white robats. The A Cappella Choir was commended highly for its advancement to the state contests, an achievement rarely attained by such an organization during its first year of existence.

During the football and basketball seasons the band was heard giving forth with the Morris Loyalty, peppy marches, or some well-known tunes. ln December, the band presented an interesting and varied Christmas Concert which Was Well attended and enthusiastically received by the general public. After the holiday season Mr. 'Wilson focused the attention of the band on contest materials. This was the first year in the history of the school that the band was able to advance to the state contest. The Morris Band Parents' Association presented the band with new maroon and gray uniforms trimmed with gold braid. Page 74 R ' C' I tb l , 6100 A : . 11. 5 , , ' Q ornzafzon ggfctures Above are a few shots of the various formations that were done on the football field this year for the fans. Although the rehearsals for these formations called for the band getting out early in the mornings to the football field in all kinds of Weather, the members seemed to enjoy doing it, and the football fans seemed to enjoy the added attraction. Beverly Olson has served very capably this year as the band's Drum Majorette, giving signals on parade, as Well as doing a grand job of twirling. During the basketball season the band was again very active, by playing for nearly all of the home games. The baton twirling corps did their bit to add to the spectators enjoyment of the various athletic events and parades. Page 75 l Gen test Solo and ensemble contest participation was an important phase of the instrumental music program. lt gave soloists and ensembles a chance to see what the students ot other schools were doing in music. Morris High students were proud ot the high ratings that they received at contests, because ot the fact that they had to compete with students that come from schools which had almost three times the enrollment ot this school. The following students represented Morris at the solo and ensemble contest this year. Clarinet Solo, Robert Bradbury: Cornet Solo, Mary Foster: Sousaphone Solo, Harold Brown and lack Larsen: Baton Twirling, Beverly Olson: Clarinet Trio, Robert Bradbury, Maxine Williamson and Allen Kayg Cornet Quartet, Mary Poster, Lee Osmanson, Earl Bansback and Harold Brown, and Saxophone Quartet, Ruth Bromberg, Beverly Olson, Phyllis Cravens, and Lois Iverson.

The game was a see-saw battle for three quarters between two green teams. ln the fourth quarter West Aurora scored on a fumble over the goal line and kept that lead to the end, winning 6-O. West Aurora went on to an undefeated season, winning the Big 8 Conference title. Wilmington-On September 17 the Redskins traveled to Wilmington to play their first game in the new Northeastern Conference. The Redskins found the going easy and when the final whistle had blown, they were on the long end of a 37-U score. Mendota-Next on the schedule came Mendota who had beaten us last year 32-O. The boys were seeking revenge and mauled the Mendota line during the entire game. Scoring at will they scored 32 points while holding Mendota scoreless. Pontiac-After an open date, the Redskins journeyed to Pontiac to face one of the toughest teams in this section. The Redskins were slow to start and with 4 minutes remaining in the game were behind 12-O. At this point they started on their own 25 and in 6 plays had scored. After gaining possession again deep in their own territory they drove to the Pontiac 3 only to be set back by a penalty which cost a chance to win the game in the closing minute. The final was Morris 7, Pontiac 12. Ottawa Catholic-Back home again the Redskins proved they hadn't lost their spirit by the loss to Pontiac. Playing against a big Ottawa team they proved that The bigger they come, the harder they fall. The Redskins scored in every quarter and ran the count to 45-O. A Lemont-ln the annual Homecoming game the hardened Redskins eleven faced a strong Lemont team. The Redskins poured it on the bewildered Lemont eleven in all four quarters and scored 51 points while stopping Lemont cold the entire game. lt was a fitting climax for a gala homecoming. Gardner-The second conference game for the Redskins proved to be another pushover. The varsity boys poured it on in the first half and the second and third teams continued to roll during most of the last half. The final score was 55-O. Mazon-Playing in a sea of mud on Mazon's field on November 5 the Redskins pushed across 11 touchdowns and added 8 extra points for 74 points while holding the helpless Mazon team to none. This was all the more remark- able since 55 points came in the second halt when the field was under water. Dwight-ln the last game of the season, the final game for ll senior lettermen, the Redskins really showed that they had intestinal fortitude and football knowhow. The stake was the title in the new Northeastern Conference. The Lions Brass Bucket also went to the winner to be held until won by the other school. Outweighed in the line by nearly 18 pounds to the man, the Redskins took to the air. Brayton fired a pass to Tesdal in the end zone and Sterritt calmly added the extra point to sew up the game. Later Cryder inter- cepted a pass and made it 13 for Morris. Dwight could score only 6. Morris was the champ of the Northeastern Conference with their seven wins, two losses. They were the highest scoring high school football team in the State of Illinois with 314 points. Page 85 e3o INDIVIDUAL SCORING I TD PA Roger NeIson .......... Iarnes Cryder ......

Glenn Pinder 1949 TRACK TEAM Track at M.C.H.S. has not as yet become a sport of major interest due to the fact that our track facilities are limited. However, a bit of preparatory work is being done while looking forward to the building of a new track when the new football field is built. Several boys have shown an interest in the sport and will give a good account of themselves. Among these are Earl Bansback, mile: Iames Cryder, hurdles and dashes: Bob Brayton, high jump: and Ken Davenport, broad jump. Page 93 First Row-Don McCambridqe. Ken Seaman. Gene Morrull, Les Enqer.

Phil Wieck, Herb lohnson and Coach Bob Ferguson Aug Qgywsyin WM L gi VL BASEBALL J! 1949 Last year, Coach Bob Ferguson revived the old national pastime at M.C.H.S. and it is proving a popular sport. Some 50 candidates are Working out this spring and all positions are wide open. Nine lettermen are returning from last year and prospects are bright for a good season. Bob Brayton, who led the squad in hitting last spring and also helps with the chucking, should have another good year. Sophomore pitchers Spunky Perry and Hank Niewinski should have more poise and experience than last year and will turn in some proficient pitching. The big bats of Ken Scamen and Wayne Tesdal will help in the RBI columns and produce some victories. Catcher Bill Doyle improved with each game and should be an out- standing receiver this spring. Gene Morrall leaves little to be desired at first base and also does a fair job with the cudgel. Phil Wieck and Les Enger, both lettermen are back and should aid considerably while Ierry McTague has looked good in workouts. All in all this looks to be a great year in baseball and M.C.H.S, should rate fairly high in the conference play.

It doesn't seem possible that ninety days have gone by so fast. 1t's good to have homeroom again: and it isn't so bad having seven periods now that they're only 45 minutes long. Maybe it our tive new teachers stay here long enough they'll get used to it. A Phil G. September 9, 1948 Dear Pete, Boy, that Baudino was sure graceful today. 1 heard over the grapevine that Midge, Pat, Bobbe, and Lois were chosen to be this years' cheerleaders. Hope We win the game tomorrow night. T. Tesdal September 10, 1948 Dear Gloria, Don't you wish that we had it that easy when we were initiated three years ago. I Wish someone had told me that there would be such a big crowd at the game. Iodie and 1 wore out two pair ot shoes running for more buns: eight dozen wasn't enough. Our boys were in there pitching but 'VV est Aurora won 6-O. Those Frosh sure rnade soft green cushions under our feet at the initiation dance. Alieta September 16, 1948 Dear Dorothy, Oh boy! My hand was really sore after drawing all those signs. But it was worth it getting out ot class all day. Our new teacher, Mr. Beringer had us all working like demons. Bobby September 17, 1948 Page 98 Dear Dolores, Lucky me, Mom let me have the car today. lt was pretty hard to drive with so many cars in the parade. 1'll bet this is one of the biggest Morris has seen in a long time. Hope we win the election after all this work. We were going to the rally at the gym but we got a ride to Wilmington with Mrs. Halenza. We won the game 37-O. Nancy Io l o ' --lf m September 20 Dear Alice, We won the election so I hope it won't be too long before we get our new school. It was swell of Mr. Nichols to let us celebrate this morning. Madrine almost tainted when Mr. Beringer was singing. I sure had fun at the Weiner roast even it it was raining. Ohh, Buckll I Darva lean September 24 Dear Butch, It looks like you've got quite a ian club started among the Iunior girls. Glad we beat Mendota 32-O. Guess we got a good team this year.

Teacher's Institute in LaSalle. lt's about time I started thinking about what I'm going to wear to the Homecoming. That was a real swell game tonight, even it we did lose. We came awful darn close.

It was sort of corny and most ot the kids liked it. Barbara B. Page 99 v October l5 Dear Bob B., The Iuniors gave a pep assembly today. It was by far the best we've had this year. We won the game with Ottawa Catholic High. The game wasn't very exciting, but we won 45-O. Dick N. October 22 Dear Ierry, We had our Homecoming parade today. We really worked hard on the Business English float but we didn't win a prize. Dramatic . Club won first prize on their float. I guess we showed the Alumni how good we are by beating Lemont 51-O. Gordon October 27 Dear Lois M., The magazine salesman finally got here. Well, at least we got to have a pep assembly yesterday. Guess l'll have to try and sell some. Rubynan October 29 Dear Leona, Well, we won the Gardner game 55 to 0. It wasn't very exciting but I'm glad we won. Lois R. November 5 Dear Dale, How did you like the game today? I didn't see much during that down-pour but I heard the score was 74-0. Chuck November l l Dear Iohnny, Sure was glad there wasn't any school today. That Dwight game was really something, wasn't it? I was so excited but was glad when we won 13-6. Our boys really deserve to win the Conference after a game like that. Gene M. Page 100 November I2 Dear Gordon, I really enjoyed seeing the Iunior's version of Ianuary Thaw. Mr. Beringer must have worked hard with those kids. Hope Lois and Bobbie liked their corsages. Ierry S.

I know we'll always look back on our graduation as a big night in our life. Midge QKPFOIIJ GCQ Let us take a look into the future and see what it holds for the Class of '49. Ten years have passed, its I959 . . . As I pull into a gas station for a much needed check-up for my car, who should wait on me but Ed Broderick and his able assistants, Gene Morrall and Earl Enerson. After a short chat I sped on my way down the road tc Iohnny's Ioint, the owner, of course, is Iivin' Iohnny Ryder. the bebop man of the bass fiddle. As I step inside, I hear the mellow music of those great trumpeteers, Roger Nelson and Earl Bansback. Lois Mickelson led me to my table and Nancy Higgins and Bonnie Lyon waited on me. Gordon Sorem, the chief cook and bottle washer, came out to have a little friendly conversation with me. After awhile I saw Wayne Anderson, the cymbol player, and Bob Iohnston with his kettle drums getting themselves ready for the floor show. Here comes Eloise Brown, Iune Doyle, Darva Oswood and many others too numerous to mention, doing their Hawaiian Dance. Now it's time for the star soloist, Donna Miller, who expects to enter opera in the next few months. While the show is going on, I hear a slight commotionp it must be Dick Laabs, the bouncer, throwing out another rowdy customer. After leaving Iohnnys, I iourned down the road only to be met by a big red truck with Waters' Transfer on it. The next thing I remember is waking up in a hospital with Gloria Bansback. the head nurse, leaning over me. Then Butch walked in and started apologizing. He said he was in such a hurry to get to Iohnny's Ioint that he was speeding a little. The next day Gene Bum- garner, my insurance man and his secretary, Ieanette Pederson, came in tc find out the facts. Coming out the hospital door, I see a green truck with Dick Newell's Fresh Vegetables 6: Meats printed on it. Then came the bakery truck with Andree Enger in the drivers seat. Once again I started on my trip. I came to a small town and stopped at a little place called The lr. Basket and who should I find there but Iodie Mitchell. ..Well, just look who's working here, Phyllis Gross and Alma Iune Best. . A little farther down the street is Barbara Spandet's artists' studio. Barb's assistant is her faithful companion, Dorothy Gore. As we sat there talking over old times, the girls told me that Leona Ketchem. Lois Rasmussen. and Mary Kenney have a successful skating rink in a neighboring town. Upon leaving town, I passed a truck with the name Enger's Earth Gal- lopers. I stopped to investigate and found Bob and Donny Enger and their team, the Earth Gallopers. They seem to be making a success of themselves, but why not, with a team consisting of Wayne Tesdal, Pete Thompson, Bob Brown, and Ken Scamen. Of course, Pat Victor. the troups private secretary helps to keep all their correspondence straight. Moving on again, I crossed the Texas border just before sundown. I stopped at a cozy looking ranch, and to my surprise I saw Bob Cameron sweeping the front porch. Dale Starks, Gerry Sampson. Bob Phillips and Ronnie Bell were sitting about a long table with Sheriff Chuck Garling at the head of it. Page IDT They were talking about Fearless Ken Hexdall, the notorious cattle rustler. After spending the night at Bob's Backwoods Bungalow, I got up early, 'bout IU, and continued on my merry way. About noon I crossed the desert into California and stopped at a drive-in along the road and to my surprise, who should be the head car-hops but my old schoolmates, Alice Kindelspire and Iune Matteson. After a light lunch I backed out of the drive-in and hit my ole principal, Mr. Nichols, who was putting ethyl into his new l96O Lincoln convertible. After a short conversation with my ole friend, I drove into I.. A. Driving down one of the crowded avenues and after nearly hitting Cary Grant, I decided to pull into a parking place. I walked up the street and stopped to look in the window of a milinary shop. Spying a hat I liked, I walked into the store. W'ho should I see setting there but Nancy Io Clayton. While talking to her, I found out that she works as a stenographer at the 'I'.W.A. All of a sudden, who should walk out from the back room but Dolores Edmunds and Midge Halenza, who own this exclusive shoppe and Ianice Classen, who is their secretary. They are waiting for Dot Durkee and Barb Boyle to come back from lunch. I wished them all goodbye and left for a sunnyy spot to rest after my travels. I had been there several days when I discovered a large laboratory about a mile down the road. Being very curious, I went to investigate. Above the door, I saw a sign reading, ADVANCE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Of course, I did. About IO feet further I found Ronnie Sklut and Alieia Hornsby working feverishly over a boiling brew. Seems they are working on a formula to make unbreakable test tubes for High School Labs. This was too much so I hurried to the airport and chartered a plane home to peace and quiet. With many happy memories of my prosperous classmates, I once again settled into my own way of living. Page 108 lf- '54-f I ,.. Q qc . , jf-, Y... x '- ' .L . Q f g -1+ . A , p h . 7' , 'fl CQ .
