Neoga High School - Tomahawk Yearbook (Neoga, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1962 volume:

1 Dear The staff presents to you this year not only the outstanding and unprecedented happenings taking place at NHS throughout the year but also the everyday occurrences. The classes, the home room solicitors, the lunch line, the noon-time volleyball games, getting a pass from study hall....... all of the thousand and one little things that happen every day, yet are the things that we will remember most about NHS in the future. We hope that this has been a good year for you and that it will remain fresh in your memory in the years to come, through the pages of our book. Sincerely Tom A. Hawk Eod kf ojm iom f idum tkt m wuJJif ttmA in timdm. Before we came and after we left... 2 As the morning begins, we should ask Sue if this is the look of the intellectual wide-awake. Innocents' Herr faces a basketball dilemma Where’s Ben Casey? Buses are in! Enough map details to fill a book... Enough lists for Dorothy... W, tJm um Enough moves to keep Clarence eyeing the board... Enough papers for Francine to corner the market... Enough master mechanics to proffer a real overhaul. As the final curtain fell, our Juniors were proud that the final ovation was longer than the costumes of some cast members. Eeuk fmofi (ud hi tjtik mmnt. For tired feet and many magazines they got to put on the dog. Field trips are great when they last all day. Looks like a strike is about to be called. I The day begins to end... Sue begins to catch up with a high stack of homework, searches the shelves, and grabs a minute or two of gab.

Just a few of the duties encountered by Senior Class Officers Jerry Lindley, Merle Elson, John Baker, and Leo Wiessing were making preparations for the Homecoming, car washes, graduation, and finally the class trip. 16 RONALD LEE AUTHENRIETH 1944 - 1962 As a student at Neoga High School, Ron participated in Pep Club and Intra- mural sports. He was a quiet, but exceedingly friendly and cheerful student whom we will long remember for his warm smile and kind thoughts for everyone. 17 Want to write a letter? Send a Christmas card? Feel like dancing? Need a car wash? Just see a member of the Sophomore class. Engineering these fund-raising activities were officers Earl Poe, Ralph Landrus, Marty Jakle and Steve Voris ( not shown). Old enough now for classrings, plays, and the prom, these Junior class officers seem to be setting new goals for the coming year. They are Judy Morris, Charles Baker, Carol Greeson, and Glenn Miller. The Freshmen should be socially elite by the time they are Seniors considering the number of parties planned for them this year by officers Cynthia Woolery, Steve Ganna way, Sue Walk, and Donna Sparling.

Ron Patterson, Rod Fomshell, Steve Storm, Charles McKinney, Bemie Walk, and Tom Ellett erased the expected lack of distance runners with some enviable showings. Given to speed and set to run are the backbone of the squad, Ron Rentfro and Merle Elson, who made return trips to this year's state meet. As did the others, hurdlers Machael Brandenburg, Steve Gannaway, Vernon Roy and Charlie Baker grabbed points when points were needed. Neoga gainers of the recently revived Mattoon Relay Carnival admire their array of trophies. We just might need that extension for the trophy case after all. Rick Manuell set records in both weight events this year and Marty Jakle promises a brighter future fo.r some heavyweight events.

A junk The Junior Class treated its audience to more than just a little bit of humor and comedy with their presentation of A Little Honey, by William Davidson. With Gloria Peters as Diana ( I haven't seen half enough of you) Minton and Charles Baker as Tom ( You ought to wear stuff like that all the time) Coming, the play moved along quite well. The typical teenage problems of Jerry and Albert, the prankish prattling of Scoots, Grandma Thornton's exasperation at Diana all helped to add believability as well as humor to a Thespian endeavor well executed. Hey! It's not supposed to be an upside-down cake! What's Jerry doing to your head?” You're born intelligent - or stupid! Jerry Minton . Carol Greeson Albert Parker Caroline, Scoots . . . Diana . .

Couples who used the facilities of the wishing well might remember this dance by their wishes coming true, or just the opposite happening. Paul Douglas did a splendid job of portraying the mood of Deep Purple. Although the only visible treasure at the annual spring dance was the huge pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, those who attended will long treasure the memories of the huge raindrops, birds, and colorful balloons suspended from the sky and the music of the Jimmie Lee Combo. The dance was sponsored by the Class of 1963. The theme was Mistletoe and Holly ...... ceiling and walls were festooned with Christmas stockings, wreaths, Christmas trees, candy canes, and pine boughs .... if you didn't get a little kiss under the mistletoe at the dance, you probably got a big kiss after the dance to make up for it . . . every- one waited breathlessly for the crowning of the King and Queen............ and WE WON THE GAME! These are only a few of the memories we have of the 1961-62 Homecoming, held 1 December 15, at NHS.
