Then, she discovered the literary urge was all because of '58 car models illustrated in colorful ads. Now we know why Revlon can sponsor all those high-priced TV shows. Initiations all across the land must sky-rocket lipstick sales. Some other manufacturers could make a mint selling a product that washes it out—or have they? • • « The Seniors wish to thank everyone who helped with and attended their chili supper Sat- urday night.

RSVP Editorially Speaking Land 01 Lincoln You all realize why you were fiven a free day on February 12. chool children of Illinois are al- lowed to celebrate that occasion in the greatest way—no school! Only sixteen states allow such a holiday from reading, writing and arithmetic. Nothing's too good for Mr. Lincoln. All of which makes us won der. Do school children of this area appreciate their closeness to “hallowed ground’’? People travel thousands of miles to visit the famous landmarks only a few miles from our high school. Have you seen Tom Lincoln's grave at Shiloh Cemetery? Have you gone through the replica of the Lincoln home at Lincoln Log Cabin Park? It is an easy matter for Neoga people to trod the soil that the Great Emancipator once walked on. Don’t miss an oppor- tunity to visit nearby historical spots. Get acquainted with the Land of Lincoln.

DON BROWN Probably the most promising freshman player in the area, Don's 6' 5 1 2 should help carry die Indians far in com- ing seasons. BRUCE MARSHALL A three year veteran, Bruce was fine in all departments and particularly outstanding in rebounding and defense. Neoga Indians DAVE GREESON Quick and an accurate shot, Dave was the backbone of the scoring and displayed a never die spirit. BUD WHITE A fine ballhandler and play- maker, Bud was adept at either the slow or fast break and held up his end of die scoring. ALAN ASHBROOK Despite being hampered by sickness, Alan always proved himself to be a stellar all around player. This page with the compliments of R. L. CASSTEVENS EARL ROSS LAMPERT JEWELRY BOB BRICK Bob's service in relief proved him invaluable. Except for a foot injury Bob would have been a starter during the latter part of the season. DAVE RUSSELL In many of the 57-58 season games, Dave was the key man to play goalie and protect our crew from the ravages of height. DAVE FREELAND A hard fighter and fine relief player, Dave has really been a comer this season and will surely be one of the first five next season. RONNIE RENTFROW A terrific heart for competi- tion and will to win, Ronnie will be tough to beat out of die starting line-up next sea- son. The free throw award was won by Alan Ashbrook, who had a 666 percentage. A-Team Cheerleaders Judy Stewart. Karen Buchanan, Linda Short, Carolyn Nunamaker, Lorraine Brandenburg.
