President Student Council Tom Kidd, John Stabler, Arlene Carley The Student Council is made up of two representatives from each class, the President and an advisor. A representative is elected by the members of his own class. He must have a C average. If his grades fall below this, he has six weeks to bring them up. If he doesn’t, a new representative must take his place. The President; a Senior, must have a B average and maintain that average. A candidate for President must, like his campaign manager, present a three-minute speech in front of the student body. The other officers of the Council are elected by the Council representatives. The advisor is either the principal or someone whom he appoints.

On the night of December 16, we spread happiness all over town with our singing (Ha, Ha) and afterwards came back to the high school for a taffy pull and gift exchange. Something new, our paper ‘The Track”, was usually put out on Wednesdays. A gym sale Sc “organized” bake sale supplied the funds for our trip to Chicago.

Upon our arrival at the Merchandise Mart, we went on a two hour tour and saw furniture, rugs, and all the other expensive things that go into homes. For dinner, we went to Berghoffs, a German restaurant. The Marina Towers were closed, so we went right on to the Buddhist Temple where an Oriental minister talked to us about his religion. We saw the incense burners and rice pots. We then went to Marshall Fields to spend all our money. That evening, 37 sleepy girls boarded the bus for home. Walking down a Chicago street.

The Seniors put streamers and signs on everything possible outside, while the Sophomores transformed the gym into a beautiful setting of “Autumn Leaves.” Game time found the Braves from Anna wan, along with our Zephyrs ready to play. During the game, we lost a player. Jack Williams, due to a knee injury. The braves won 27 to 6. A bright note of the game was the weather. It was the first rainless and snowless Homecoming in the last three years. The coronation and introducing of the court climaxed the exciting evening.

Once they had staked a claim, not even the combined forces of the United States government and a gang of gamblers could stop the Kwimpers of Cranberry County. Pa Kwimper felt he did more than his duty as an American citizen (but paying taxes . . . that’s where he drew the line.) So he, his family, and their “baby-sitter”, Holly Smith, worked until they had established their own little community—Kwimperville. CAST Toby Kwimper . . Pop Kwimper . . .

Holland, Michigan that is. The Tulip City was the scene of the Senior Class trip, May 9, 10,11. Leaving at 3:00 A.M., twenty-three seniors made the journey by bus, with Mr. Mrs. Clarence Norton as our driver chaperones. We arrived at our Lake Ranch Motel, and soon after enjoyed the splendor of Lake Michigan, a mere Vi mile away. Saturday was spent touring the city and also Dutch Village, a reproduction of an old Dutch town. That night, after forcing twelve people in a shower (3’X5’), we enjoyed a meal together. Before heading home Sunday, we visited Windmill Island. Our class trip was over in what seemed a short time, but the memories of all the mishaps and fun are still alive. On the road early!! Windmill Island What’s the matter, Sheba? As we head towards the horizon. 66 ADVERTISING UPHEIL’S SAUK TRAIL INN On Rt. 78 I 80 Annawan, Illinois AVERY THE CLEANER 22 Columbus Street Princeton, Illinois BENNY MOREY STANDARD SERVICE Mineral, Illinois MONUMENTS AND MEMORIALS Kidd Memorials by Delano Dealer in Odessa Rib Mountain Wausau Barre Mahogany Blue Pearl and Others Toulon 4181 or 5331 203 E.
