You have now finished an important step on your road to success. When you entered high school four years ago, you did not realize the obstacles and difficulties which needed to be overcome before you arrived at that all important goal toward which you were striving, your high school diploma. Some of you had to make sacrifices in order to be able to attend school. All of you had to give up some of your pleasures and devote time to your subjects when you would have preferred to do otherwise. Some of your fellow students were unwilling to forego their pleasures and they left school. They did not have the inspiration which kept you at your appointed tasks. All of 'your experiences in high school were not unpleasant. In fact, in the years to come, as you look back over your high school days, your pleasant memories will blot out all the distasteful tasks which were placed upon you, and you will wish that you were once more a student at N. A. C. H. S. You will remember your first days of school and the thrills of the inexperienced. You will recall your many pleasant contacts with your classmates and with the students of the other classes. In your mind you will again experience the joy of receiving your diploma, the evidence of the tasks and pleasures which you underwent for four years. Finally, although some of you may feel differently now, you will appreciate the courage which your teachers displayed in requiring that you do your assigned tasks; you will realize that they were your best friends and were doing what was best for you, even though you did not realize it at the time. You have other important steps to be taken before you have completed your journey to success. Some of you will enter college; others will find employment. Whichever load you choose, you will find that success will come more easily and more quickly if you apply yourself to all tasks and give your best at all times. R. A. Neal, Principal Class History On the beautiful bright sunshiny day of September 1, 1943, twenty-seven brilliant and intelligent looking Freshmen crossed the threshold of NXCHS. This was to them a wonderful day—a day which they had looked forward to for many months. Now at last it had arrived and they had a hunch that it wasn’t going to be all fun. Everyone reported to study hall where we were assigned desks, lockers and ah yes,—books. Well, as school progressed we proved to be quite intelligent, in fact, wc were so intelligent that lay the end of the third month we knew exactly where to go and at what time. ’Course it took another month until we learned which books to take along, but that wasn’t too important as we thought we were so smart that we really didn't need books. However, the teachers seemed to disagree with us so—we used books. Then when we were not in class, the study hall was quite the place to be. Fifth hour study hall (if I remember correctly) always proved to be quite interesting. For more information regarding the study periods see Vernon Hepp as he always seemed to be engaged in something other than studying and he usually ended up by getting slapped by someone of the opposite sex who didn’t think he was so funny. During October of the first year, we had the sad misfortune of losing Dorothy Schmittling. Throughout the rest of the year, Norma Stamm, Ronald Horshmann, and Irvin Mueller discontinued their studies. At the end of the first semester Eugene Crosby entered our honorable class. We ended our Freshman year with an outing at the Sparta Country Club, where we really had one swell time, thanks to the guidance of Miss Michael, our class sponsor. Out Sophomore year wasn’t quite as exciting as the Freshman year, this probably being due to the fact we knew what to expect. This year the girls had the honor (we thought it an honor then but we know better now) of serving at the banquets of different organizations and for the proni.’ This year we were happy to add Floye Price from Sparta to our class. However, she did not finish the year with us. We also lost Vera Berthold, Mervin Haefner, Dorothy Weible and Loliy Mehner. This left only 19 to start the Junior year. During the Sophomore year our class was aided by Miss Lindauer whom we found to be very patient with us, and with her help, we succeeded in giving a few parties and school dances. The Junior year was looked forward to by all of us because now we were upper classmen, no longer to be pushed around. At least that’s what we told ourselves but somehow we forgot to tell the Seniors and rest of the school. This was, of course, to be a very active year with a play and a prom. Mr. Mitze, our English teacher, was chosen to be our class sponsor. Later, the fact that he was our English teacher and class sponsor did help considerably as we got out of many an English class to practice our play, “Bandits for Breakfast,” which proved to be quite a success. Play practices always were lots of fun and we hated to see them end. (Continued) Class History Next to prepare for was the Prom. We chose a “Wishing Well” theme and worked night and day to prepare for the big day which was May 17. Johnny Harrison's orchestra furnished the music for the dancing after the banquet. During January of our Junior year our long awaited for class rings arrived. We were very proud of them and displayed them every chance we got. Robert Wunderlich and Willard Herzog dropped out of our class during this year. This year was ended as the first two with an outing at Sparta. Seventeen honorable and worthy students were ready to enter into their Senior and last year in high school. Near the beginning of the year we placed an order for cards and announcements with a representative of Josten's. Our class colors are maroon and white and our motto is “Out of the Quiet Harbor into the Billowy Sea”. The white rose was selected for our class flower. Mr. Spieth of Centralia was given a contract to print our annual which everyone worked on constantly. We decided to give another play entitled “The Campbells are Coming” and under the excellent coaching of Mr. Walker, our class sponsor, it was quite a success. This year we lost but one pupil, Delmar Freeh. Some of us plan to go to college, while others have chosen to go to work. No matter what we endeavor, our high school education will come in mighty handy. Senior Statistics WILLIAM C.

It seems to be a meeting of old friends. Ah yes, I see it clearly now—it is a party planned as a reunion of the class of ’47 of the New Athens Community High School. The entire state militia is trying frantically to hold back the crowd of anxious admirers and desperate autograph seekers. This is truly a scene of exciting activity. As a policeman blows his whistle and orders the crowd to move back a black limousine pulls up to the curb. A chauffer gets out, opens the door and there appears a woman lavishly jeweled and gowned. This we immediately recognize as Miss Vandalynn Patton. Miss Patton, famous for exquisite evening gown designs, has just returned from Paris, France, where she was the designer in Madame Pierres exclusive shoppe. Miss Patton is now establishing her own business on Park Avenue. New York City. Miss Carol Fries, hostess for this outstanding event cordially greets her. Miss Fries has just joined the faculty at Illinois U. as teacher of Home Ec. Carol, who frantically went on diets in her Senior year in high school, has added a few pounds. This she blames on her students. She says they prepare such delicious delicacies that she is simply forced to sample them. However, in one of Vandy’s exclusive creations the extra pounds are hardly noticable. Next to make his appearance is Coach Robert Klube. Bob is basketball coach at Notre Dame and under his expert guidance his teams have been undefeated for eight consecutive years. Bob, who has a very masculine build is causing quite a sensation on the part of the fairer sex. Now the smelling salts are making the rounds and, as everyone’s fully recovering, a rather unusual car drives up and Mr. Vernon Petri steps forth. “Gus” as he is called by his friends, is head of Petri Motor Corp. and has recently designed a car which will undoubtedly simplify driving so much that one armed drivers will be able to eliminate both arms. Miss Tanet Hanft and Miss Anona Deichmann are next to arrive. Miss Han ft editor of the New Athens Journal-Press, is at the peak of her success. Through her consistant efforts, this fifteen page daily newspaper, has even attained popularity in Moscow, as well as London. Rome and New Athens. It seems that the comic strips she publishes, excel those of all other newspapers. Miss Deichmann, know better to her friends as Nonie, has recenty returned from Europe where she has been demonstrating her excellent typing ability and has endorsed several typewriters. Miss Deichmann, who is the fastest typist in the world, has just recently attained the speed of 195 315 words per minute. Next to be greeted by Miss Fries are Col. William Schmelzel and Captain Dave Schniulbach. Bill, a Colonel in the Marines has just completed an inspection tour of all the Marine bases in the United States. Dave, a Navy Captain, ( Continued ) Class Prophecy had iust finished some important work in Washington D. C. Although Captain Schnmbach’s work is kept in strictest confidence, we have reasons to believe that he has devised some sort of plan to prevent soldiers and sailors from loading their dice. Both Captain Schmulbach and Colonel Schmelzel were guests of honor at a dinner given by the President. Warren Waeltz also flew in from Washington where he is engaged in important agricultural work. It is obvious that he is next in line for the position of Secretary of Agriculture. One of the more quiet members of the class arrives next. This, of course, is the now famous Wall Street Banker, Edward J. Hammond. E. J., who has a family of his own. has achieved great success as a banker. Eddy boasts, as he puffs a fifty-cent cigar, that he has finally gotten up enough nerve to say, “Go on home, year mutters callin’ ” to his wife. Present also at this exclusive gathering is Mr. Earl “Bring ’em to me cold’’ Evans. Mr. Evans is America’s most renowned undertaker. Earl is spending the evening passing from person to person, forcing upon them specially prepared after dinner mints. V hen asked why he is acting thusly, Earl’s only comment is “Business is business”. Also roaming about on the loose is the former Cordelia Schneider. Dinx, as she :s called by her classmates, is causing quite a sensation with her new hair-do. Cordelia has a chain of Beauty Salons from New York to Los Angeles, and has recently devised a hair style guaranteed to subtract any man. She has also concocted a beauty cream which, if used consistently, will eliminate masks on Halloween. Present also at this gathering is Vernon “Muscles” Hepp. Mr. Hepp, who is the world's medium weight champion, has challenged such personalities as Joe Louis and of course he has always come victorious. Incidently the bandage on “Muscles” eye comes from his latest bout at Madison Square Garden when his manager forgot to yell “Duck”. What’s that I hear? Sounds like singing. Why of course, how could I forget. It’s their own Shirley Ruhl now a great Metropolitan Opera star. Shirley, who so generously lent her voice to the chorus in high school, has completed plans for a concert at Carnegie Hall. Among the songs Miss Ruhl will sing are “The Finished Symphony”, “The Found Chord”, and “Shut the Dorr, Richard”. There seems to be someone missing—I wonder who it could be. Oh yes, “Dot”, better known to the book world as Dorothy Utz. Miss Utz, who was voted the most talkative member of the class, has achieved world-wide fame by her unusual novels, the latest of which is entitled, “That Did It’-. And now my crystal ball will reveal no more, so I, Madame Future, must conclude. Last Will and Testament We. the members of the renowned 1977 graduating class of the New Athens Community High School, of the city New Athens (the only metropolis that drowned the'Prohibition Party), State of Illinois, being of sound and disposing mind ( .• ) and memory, do hereby make. publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, and hereby revoke all Wills by us at any time heretofore made.

In witness whereof, we do set our hand and seal to this will on this memorable sixth day of June, nineteen hundred and forty seven. WITNESSED BY: William Shakespeare Bugs Bunny Mrs. Santa Claus Junior Class History On September 2, 1944, a band of wide-eyed “wonder kids” entered the New Athens Community High School halls of learning. After surviving those first grueling days of initiation and emerging an army of proven soldiers, they were ready to face the first year. At their first class meeting. Virg Loesche was elected as class president, and Mr. E. H. Winegarner as sponsor, to guide them through the year. At the beginning of their Sophomore year, their number was depleted to 39, having lost three classmates during their Freshman year. Doris Stoll, Rose Hoffman, and Hattie Glenn were the three girls which were left behind. Mrs. Eugenia Teel was elected as class sponsor, but after she left to join her husband, Mr. Dale Walker, math teacher, was unanimously elected to this job by the class. (jetting right down to business, they opened their Junior year with a bang by electing class officers and a sponsor. They are as follows: Sponsor .................................. Mr. A. J. Woods President .................................... Darnell Reichert Vice-President ................................. Carol Krieg Secretary ........................................ June Baehr Treasurer ........................................ Pat Wirth Reporter ....................................... Audrey Hill Student Council Representative.................. Bob Joseph Their first job was giving the annual Junior play. All their work and efforts were appreciated, and “Bolts and Nuts” took the entire community by storm. Through the sale of candy, soda and hotdogs, they managed to accumulate sufficient funds for the sponsoring of the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held May 10. This past year the class has lost six more members of their starting number: Norma Stamm, Vera Lee Wilson, Doris Stehl, Grace Loeb, Pat Crosby, and Helen Lehr. The Junior class has grown in prestige if not in size. The names of Virg Loesche, Dale Carr, Bob Joseph, Butch, Leinecke, are among those of the first ten in basketball; June Baehr. Yvonne Sauerwein and Joanne Sauerwein in the girl’s sextette; Pat Wirth, editor of the Spotlight; and Darnell Reichert, coeditor of the same.

Each Freshie was wondering what the honorable upper classmen thought of him. When the dreaded day of initiation arrived, he found out. Luckily all the greenhorns survived the ordeal, but none of them seem to like onions since that horrid day. Under the guidance of Miss Hansleben and President Dale Schneider the year passed quickly. Activities including an October hayride and a one-act play at the Yuletide assembly were conclude 1 with a merry outing at the Sparta Country Club. Everyone had a hilarious time, even if the soda wasn’t cold. Thirty-seven of the Freshies returned in September of ’46 to begin their second yearly grind. Mr. Wright was “drafted as sponsor and Ardell Schoepp as president. Squabbles between the girls and boys still exist, but of course, the boys always win. As a class project ice cream was sold at basketball games and occasionally at noon. For St. Patrick's Day an assembly sponsored by the ’49ers aroused favorable comment throughout the school. Already quite a few Sophomores are outstanding in musical and athletic activities. Everyone is proud of the Soph-Frosh team for bringing home the first place trophy. 1 he boys didn’t overshadow their classmates, for the zipping Sophomore gals upset the mighty Seniors and the unpredictable Juniors to capture first place in the girls basketball tournament. Now that spring is finally here the Sophomores are too busy to study; they’re looking forward to being among next year’s upperclassmen.

T his class has gotten off to a very good start. It has 26 pupils, which includes 12 from the New Athens Grade School, 3 from the Parochial school, 7 from the rural schools, and 4 from Lenzburg. Although, for the first week or two, everything seemed very complicated and difficult, the class managed to get adjusted to its studies and duties without too many disturbances. On Sept. 17, class officers were elected and a sponsor was chosen. Those elected were : President: William “Red” Hoffman Vice-president: Richard Albers Secretary: Lloyd Schlesinger Treasurer: Charles “Chuck” Schreiber Class Reporter: Dawn Albers Miss Lindauer was elected to serve as sponsor. Three Freshmen were also chosen to serve on the Student Council. They are “Red” Hoffman, Lloyd Schlesinger, and Ruth Kreig. A class meeting was held during which was discussed all possible means of raising funds for the treasury. Selling popcorn was selected as the best idea. The Freshman students are all sure that with the full cooperation of the entire class their class can become one of the finest in the history of the New Athens Community High School.

It was no surprise to the New Athens baseball fans when the Yellow Jackets came home from the 1946 spring District Baseball Tournament with the much coveted trophy in their possession. With a pitching staff that was tops, hitting that was above par. and a team spirit that was unequaled by their opponents, there was little doubt as to the championship calibre of the team. The Yellow Jackets dropped their sectional game to Gorham City by a 6-3 decision. September of ’46 saw the return of all but one of the members of the championship team. Albert “Toddy” Stroh, first string shortstop, was the only one to vacate a position upon his graduation. With this unweakened squad of returned lettermen, we succeeded in toping four teams to finish second place in the Cahokia Conference.

Mascoutah 3, New Athens 3 CHEERLEADERS Left to right: Yvonne Sauerwein, Joanne Sauerwein, Irene Pfeiffer. Yvonne, Joanne, and Irene were elected by popular vote of the students to lead our pep club. At each and every basketball game this season, this lively trio of “pepper-uppers” maintained that “Win, team, win !’’ spirit. Dale “Tennings” Carr 66 6 ft. 145 lbs. This lanky fair haired Tunior proved to be a handy man to have under the basket. Dale's first year on the varsity sciuad was a very successful one and we could always count on him in the pinches. Dale “Cutter” Schneider 13 5 ft. 6 ins. 135 lbs. Dale can best be summed up in the phrase, “a big thing in a little package”. This diminutive Sophomore reserve was undoubtedly the least excited player on the floor. We often wondered if he didn’t have ice water running through his veins. Stanley “Butch” Leinecke 5 ft. ins. 160 lbs. Speed and drive are the trademarks of this Tunior guard. In his position “Butch” displayed fine anility as a ball handler and he could always be commended on his outstanding work as a defensive guard. Basketball S Dave Schmulbach 55 5 ft. 10 ins. 156 lbs. The type of player who draws the admiration of players, fans, and officials. Dave, in his last year at NACHS played in spite of phycisal injuries. His “fight”, rebounding, and accurate shooting were important factors in the success of the team. COACH WOODS Coach Woods gained the respect and cooperation of his boys and the fans in producing a creditable basketball team of clean sportsmen. His first year at New Athens was a successful one and he looks to the future for even better teams. Virgil “Virg” Loesche 44 5 ft. 8 ins. 145 lbs. Virg will always be remembered as a smooth working guard. The graceful ease with which he shot the ball kept the fans wide-eyed with admiration. Virg had an uncanny faculty of always being in the right place at the right time. Robert T. Klube 77 6 ft. 1 'A ins. 175 lbs. Bob is the kind of fellow you could always count on. He played a steady game at center. An unfailing one-hand push shot gave him a position as our leading scorer. Bob was a double threat to our opponents who found his size and style of shooting more than they could cope with. n Robert “Joe” Toseph 33 5 ft. 81-4 ins. 154 lbs. This Tunior was five feet, eight and one half inches of dynamite. Although not a high scorer, Bob was fast and always in the thick of the fight. Edgar “Bud” Wirth 88 6 ft. 159 lbs. In “Bud” we had the making of a first-rate basketball player. He played a large percentage of the games in his familiar guard IXfsition. Every inch of this Sophomore’s six foot frame was used to advantage in grabbing the ball off the backboard. A-' Ardell Raymond Schoepp 19 5 ft. 11 ins. 135 lbs Deception was the main asset of this young Sophomore forward. It was almost impossible to stop him from shooting. Ardell is a fine team man and a reliable rebounder. .-l¥ Will. “Bill” Schreiber 22 6 ft. 145 lbs Although Bill didn’t see much action as reserve forward this year, he played very nice offensive ball and pepped up his team mates from the bench. “B” TEAM Donald Burton (Manager) 1st Row: Marvin Hutli, Dorrell Herzog, Maurice Weidemann, Loren Kolditz, James Schniulbach, Robert Waeltz, Bill Hoffman. 2nd Row: Coach Woods, Norbert Utz, Lloyd Schlesinger, Charles Schreiber, James Womack, Ralph Bretsch, Ronald Karber, Ray Hoffman. JUNIOR JACKETS The “B” team, comprised of the school’s up and coming athletes was the squad that gained considerable attention from the coach and the fans. If records are any indications of future success. New Athens has something to look forward to. The Junior Jackets finished in the win column on 20 out of their 26 games. Their speed and excellent teamwork not only made them a winning team but also a colorful team that gave the fans their money’s worth. “BLITZ KIDS Standing: Donald Burton, Mgr.; Ray Hoffman, Marvin Huth, Janies Womack, Bill Hoffman, Robrt Waeltz. Sitting: Dorrell Herzog, Bud Wirth, Ardell Schoepp, Dale Schneider, James Schmulbach. The “Blitz Kids” came into the sportlight with their outstanding performance in the Sparta Freshman-Sophomore Invitational Tournament. New Athens remained the dominant team and heavy favorite in the “B’’ bracket. It was their sparkling passwork that made them easy victors over Tamaroa (75-18), Steelville (53-29), Ashley (41-35), and Campbell Hill (56-24). In previous practice games the “Blitz Kids found no trouble in twice trouncing Belleville Township. They nosed out the Marissa Meteors in a close 39-37 contest. Mfifz A'ids Basketball The ambitious Yellow Jackets scored a seasonable success by filling their win column with eighteen triumphs while dropping only twelve hard fought games, among which the most exciting was the 35-34 defeat at the hands of the powerful second place Dupo Tigers. A more determined group was hard to find, for although the 41-27 loss to Frecburg looks far from being impressive to outsiders it was a victory, nevertheless, in that the Midgets were accustomed to smothering their opponents. An aggressive varsity squad battled through the Cahokia Conference to wind up in fourth place with an 8-6 record. The six defeats came from the three top teams which included the record smashing Freeburg Midgets, Dupo, and the third place Waterloo Bulldogs. In the Kaskaskia Conference, the purple and gold clad warriors of New Athens filled the second position; topped only by Waterloo who finished their season with a clean slate. An air of expectancy pervaded throughout the school as February 25 drew near. Students were busy hurrying from place to place, scrubbing locker rooms, printing programs, mopping the gym floor, and decorating the gym with bright colored streamers. Why all the excitement ? It was district tournament time and New Athens was once more host to its neighboring schools. The boys eased by the Okawville quintet the first evening. It was nip and tuck from start to finish, but superior height finally won out. The second game proved even more thrilling than the first as our team nosed out Mascoutah 32-30 on a basket in the last few seconds of play. The championship game was more keenly contested than the score would indicate Holding on until the last buzzer, the Yellow Jackets gave Freeburg, their most bitter rival, one of its hardest fought games. The highlights of the tournament was the excellent quality of sportsmanship of the participating teams and their fans.
