Is that you Joann? This is Fonny. I was wondering where you were. Did you say Mary Jane Spence was working at the switchboard too? Does Betty Lou have a phone? She does. Would you ring her for me, please? Hello, is that you Betty? I just thought I would call you since I am at home visiting. I thought we could discuss what has 'become of our class these last ten years. How is your beauty shop making it? Did you know Carl Dean was married just two weeks after graduation? I saw in the paper where Bernard had made a very famous basketball coach and is back at N. C. H. S. teaching. I guess he liked basketball so well he had to make it his profession. I received a letter from Carolyn last week. She is proprietor of Harper's Meat Market. She said she had some new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Hedger, the former Audra Satterfield. They now have three little opossums running around. Did you say Vearl Lack was crew foreman at Texas Eastern, replacing his futher? And his secretary is Kathleen. I can understand why she doesn't need her Shorthand and can take dictation on the typewriter. Maybe it's because Vearl is so efficient at dictating. Oh, yes, Jack DeLap has gone into research trying to find out who was driving the Mule Train. The next time you are taking a trip toward Enfield, be sure and stop at Hea1y's Munch Mansion, where the former Novella Jones sells candy kisses. Are you planning on going to the Alumni dance at the High School? I heard the music was to be furnished by Philip Veatch's swing band with Sam Wallace as vocalist. Did you say Charley Davis now has his own radio program replacing Red Skelton? I see where Billy Gott is making his profession at culling chickens. We have a new studio in town, owned and operated by June Edwards. Did you say Darroll McArthy is having a grand opening of his skating rink this coming Saturday night? Do they still have a skating teacher every Wednesday night? Did you say Ruel Weas is the instructor now? While I was in Omaha visiting, I saw where Mrs. Nave, the former Ethel Mac Goforth has remodeled what sued to be Eaton's Cafe, and has made it into a Teen Town. Did you know Carl Dixon finally settled down to running the service station which is connected on to the Teen Town, and as his skilled mechanic he has Bobby Walters. While I was in Omaha I met Calvin on the street. He had just returned from one of his big game hunting trips. - -K , .-'N -..- -..-T .5-aww-. . .,,,,,.,,,-gf .,,.,,. ..... ...pg,.,..,.,-f-,--.'in,1w.ss- V-,na ,-,-W--A-sf--rvr - ,A -sv------nw -H.

E. instructor at Gossett. Did you say that Robert Rainey is running a pool hall at Texas City now? I went into the beauty shop that Maggie Smith used to run and guess who is owner now, none other than Dorothy Edwards. Did you say something about Harold Hughes? Why, haven't you heard? He and Billie Whatley got married and he is minister at the Baptist church in Omaha. Did you know that Ruby Edwards and Paul Carroll are holding dancing classes in their studio over Brownie's Grill. Margie McKenzie's picture now adorns the boxes of Flubbo-Bubbo Dog Food, owned and operated by Tommy Mayberry. The Dwight Wheelers fshe is the former Lela Scottl, have finally settled down and are raising a family. Jane Henson has not settled down to any business but is giving the cold shoulder to people in Henson's Locker. Dona Moye and Bobby Holtzclaw have gone into a partnership running the Cut and Curl Shop. Jean Wicker is president of the Young Women's Club and travels over the country making speeches. Kenneth Burch has formed a Roving Wolves Club, and they paint the town red three times a week. James Alldredge just ran the world's first four minute mile, but they took away his trophy when they discovered he had on roller skates.

CARDINAL CAMPAIGN 'if In what proved to be one of the most successful Cardinal Campaigns ever staged, the Athenians emerged victorious by the score of 155 to 147. With great enthusiasm the campaign extended from January 16 to January 24. Speeches, pep talks, and tears were among the highlights, as the Guestonians, led by the co-editors, Kathleen Bryant and Sam Wallace, met gallant defeat. We must, however, extend congratulations to both groups for their fine spirit, sportsmanship and interest in making possible 1950's masterpiece, our Cardinal yearbook. - .Wir x AW X Row 1-- Row 4- - --e New-wr-pf.

We have grown up quite a bit now and are considered as Jolly Juniors. Our class is represented on the Student Council by James Coffman, Charles Gossett, and Ruth Bayley. We are very well represented on the basketball team by Kern Doerner, James Coffman, Charles Gossett, Joe Piland, and Wilbur Lack.

Under the guidance of Mr. Blacker and Mr. Larson, the -Council's work has become symbolic of democratic principles in operation since it was insti- tuted in 1932. At that time, Norris City was the first highschool in this area to have such an organization. Our council has been a leader in helping other schools to organize councils and to join the Illinois Association of Student Councils. The duties of the Council this year have been as follows: 1. Conduction of all school elections. 2. School Calendar Committee appointments. 3. Club charters and organizations. 4. Home Room program development. 5. -Orientation Day. 6. Had information booth set up for the local tournament. 7. Sponsor all-school parties. Election of members is based on scholarship and leadership. The Council is comprised of two students from each of the classes and one apprentice member from each class. Meetings are held every Wednesday. Two boys, Ruel Weas and Allen Mears, were sent to the state Student Council Convention at Peoria on April 21 and 22.

Attired in uniforms of white blouses and sweaters with red corduroy skirts, the girls led the student body in peppy yells and songs. In assembly, pep meetings and at ball games they were always faithful in boosting and arousing chool spirit.

Its membership is open to any girl in school. Nearly all girls in school this year joined. Regular meetings were held every other Monday during activity period. New members were initiated in October. As usual, the girls had to wear tacky clothes to school and to the initiation that night. After the initiation ceremony all were served refreshments of hot dogs, chili, and cokes. In order to raise money this year the club purchased an electric popcorn machine and sold popcorn during the noon hour and at ball games. The girls planned various activities for the year. Several girls attended the fall and spring play days sponsored by neighboring G. A. A. clubs. On February 9, six girls attended a sportsnight at Harrisburg, Ill., to play basketball. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet was held in the spring. Intramural activities were held every other noon hour to give the girls a chance to earn points for G. A. A. awards. Also, each senior girl who had been in the G. A. A. for four years was given a school letter at the end of the year. DRAMATICS CLUB '33 President ................ ............ ...............

The club's first year was one of progress and we are sure it will continue to have many successful years. LIBRARIANS 2? The new library is a spacious room with book shelves on three sides and windows forming the fourth wall. It is the center of studying in the school but also provides reading for pleasure as well as for knowledge. Librarians were appointed at the beginning of the year by Miss Forchee, library director. The students who have served in this capacity faithfully and conscientiously are: Irene Pace, Kathleen Bryant, Sybil Poole, Joan Crouch, James Coffman, Bob Beam, and Charles Gossett. Each takes care of the library during his study period. Our school has a de-centralized library system whereby books for specific subjects are located in the proper classrooms. Encyclopedias and dictionaries are used in the classes, as well as current magazines. Fiction and non-fiction literature, reference books, atlases, and magazines found in the main library are constantly being increased by new additions.
