Old Nokomis Vol. XXXIV 1951 NOKOMIS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL NOKOMIS. ILLINOIS “We gather here, a joyous throng; Jovial greetings go gayly round With jest and laugh and shout and song, We make the floors and walls resound.” “Of the wealth of facts and fancies That our memories may recall, The old school-day romances Are the dearest, after all.” “Old dog-eared readers, scarred and inked With school-boy hatred, long extinct, Old histories that bored Me worst of all the school; old, worn Arithmetics, frayed, ripped, and torn— Now ye are all adored.” “The old school house is a place I choose Afore all others, if I want to muse; I sit down where I used to sit and get My boyhood back, and better things with it— Faith, hope, and something, if it isn’t charity, It’s want of guile, and that’s a great rarity.” “From some sweet home, the morning bus Brings to the school Five days a week in sun or rain, Returning like a song’s refrain, A school girl pretty.” “You were a school boy—what beneath the sun So like a monkey? I was also one.” BULLETINS TABLE OF CONTENTS D c i o i A J m i n i s ttft ion C I 9s se j Act I V it 1 5 AthUt ics C IznJat' FOUR 0suticaJtii)fL MISS YACKLE We respectfully dedicate the 1951 Old Nokomis to Miss Yackle, our faithful friend, adviser, and teacher, who has been a part of N.

Through those four years, Oh! what a glorious ride! We could not forget them ever, Even if hard we tried. Our studies we’ll remember. How could we forget! Our teachers will share a place too; We won’t forget all the friends that we met Nor the things together we would do. Our dances and parties were so much fun And Oh! what a time at our games!! During those four years there was so much done, But now that we’re gone things will “sure” be tame. The underclassmen will miss us too; We were always as busy as bees. But the time has come to move to worlds anew. All that’s left now of our high school days is memories. —J. T.

S. as scared “freshies”, but we soon found a place for ourselves. We started 65 strong; we had nine on the honor roll, six of whom made high honors, and thirteen boys went out for sports. This year we are again proving ourselves worthy. The first semester we had sixteen on the honor roll, ten of whom made high honors. We have a large number participating in sports, band, and chorus. All four school cheerleaders are from the sophomore class. In October we gave the freshmen a Halloween party. Norma Anderson and Irene Vernetti were elected candidates for the Valentine Dance. M. A.

We proved we were growing by bowing to our superiors without complaint and by taking our initiation in the same way. We had seven members of our class on the semester honor roll, proving that we do have brains, even if we are freshmen. We also proved our athletic ability by sending eleven of our rough ’n’ ready boys out to football and nine to basketball. Thirteen represent us in band and twenty in the high school choruses. We are also represented in F. H. A., F. F. A., G. A. A., J. C. L., and the Dramatic Club. In the future, we hope to live up to and excel the standards set for us by our predecessors. S. S.

I am one of the many poor “freshies” under the dictatorship of the upperclassmen, particularly those demons, the “sophs.” These high ’n’ mighty creatures are thoroughly convinced that “freshies” are here for their own use, to do with as they see fit. Freshmen have no minds of their own, least of all any intelligence (so the upperclassmen think). It is entertaining to make them do silly things, such as, eat green persimmons, stick their heads into molasses, and obey their every wish. Ah . . . but next year, I’ll be a “soph” (I hope). S. S.

Well, it isn’t the writing that can stump the reporters, but the hustle, bustle from Monday to Friday, hunting for items on which to build articles.

S. band and choruses have been outstanding in the school’s activities again this year. These groups have been called upon by the community for entertainment on various occasions throughout the year. They have given several concerts which have been very successful. Small groups have also been chosen from the choruses to make appearances on the radio, and early in the school year the band exchanged concerts with the Greenville High School Band. We hope that next year more students will take part in ou� ' rising music department of which we are very proud. G. M. JhsL Band, (paksmt u Qlub The Band Parents Club, composed of parents of members of the band, was organized in the Spring of 1950. The purpose of the organization is to promote the Band and earn money for instruments and uniforms. The officers elected were Doug Becker, president; Milton Kettelkamp, Vice-President; Mrs. Tom Harrison, secretary, who resigned in the fall and was succeeded by Mrs. Chris Hugener. The first project of the club was a lunch stand at the Nokomis Homecoming. This proved quite a success. A softball game was sponsored at the end of the summer. With the money from these two projects a French horn, oboe, and bass horn were purchased for the Band. The members also sponsored a Box Supper in February and are working on new projects to earn more money. They have found people cooperative and all have helped to make their projects a success.

A. of the years gone by, and we think we have been very successful. In the fall of the year, we had a bake sale and at Christmas, we trudged through snow and sold many Christmas cards. Again at Easter, we put on our smiles, got out our sales slips, and sold Easter cards. With part of this money, we plan to take a trip to St. Louis to see the various sights. The Purpose of F. H. A. The purpose of Future Homemakers is to learn to live better lives today in order that our lives and that of our families may be better tomorrow. With this in mind, we shall strive to make a bigger contribution to the future home life of which America will be proud. M j M FORTY-EIGHT J. 2L. CL. O ioiAA, Front Row: Irene Vernetti-Secretary.

In spite of all this, the freshmen enjoyed themselves while dancing and eating, and are proving themselves good F. H. A. members. FORTY-NINE J'JUtlVUL J'OhmSikA, ojl (hvwJW DL Front Row: C.

A. was and is designed to supplement training opportunities for boys who are progressing toward the goal of establishment in a farming business. Through F. F. A. activities the cooperative spirit is fostered and individual talent is discovered and developed. Here is a school of experience in the art of working together for a common good. Members have a splendid opportunity to learn how to deal effectively with themselves as well as with others. The organization embodies the fundamentals of a true democracy. Each member has a voice in setting up policies and making rules and regulations by which he is governed. Each member also has individual responsibility resting on his shoulders, but teamwork is essential to lasting accomplishments. Our activities this year included East St. Louis Market Day, leadership training school for the officers, grain show at Assumption, International Live Stock Show in Chicago, farming the city park ground, basketball, father and son banquet, and judging contest (grain and poultry). L. V. PIONEER SEED CORN Each year the Pioneer Hi-bred Corn Company furnishes enough seed for any boy to plant two acres of Pioneer corn. The boys with the three highest yields in the section are awarded cash prizes. This year Charles Jostes won second prize of $15 with his yield of 150.4 bu. per acre and Don Engelhart won third plan of $5 with a yield of 125.5 bu. per acre.

The following officers were elected: Helen Kausic, president; Judy Johnson, vice-president; Jim Kettelkamp, secretary; Jack Davis, treasurer; Darryll Vericker, reporter. The purpose of this club is to give experience in dramatics to all its members. The club met every two weeks to study the principles of acting. A one-act play was given each month in the assembly and two plays were given at outside functions. During the year the following plays were presented: “The City Slicker and Our Nell” “By Special Request” “Am I Late?” “The Christmas Carol” H.

M. Conference Games 1950 Season In September, the Redskins opened their 1950 football season with St. Elmo. After battling up and down the field, the Redskins ended on the short side of the score. After this first loss, the Redskins went on to win five consecutive games. The next game was at Auburn. This was Auburn’s homecoming game which didn’t help our cause any. If the Redskins would have won this game, they would have won the M. S. M. Conference title alone. If they lost, as they did, they had a chance for a three-way tie or the loss of the conference title. Auburn beat us and took over the conference lead. Virden then beat Auburn and threw us into a three-way tie—Auburn, Virden, and Nokomis. Each received a trophy representing Co-Champions. The last game of the season was a thriller with the Illinois School for the Deaf. At the final whistle, the score was tied at 32-32. k FIFTY.SEVEN Jot CyOfte't Junior Qu ttrrt� ck m rrft t { Starve.
