The school year of 1946-1947 was a year of considerable physical achieve- ment for the Olney High School. After a six Weeks program of intensive publicity in the form of newspaper articles and public mass meetings, interspersed with numerous meetings of the Board of Education, the Steering Committee, and Education Council, an expansion program was initiated by an annexation election in Claremont Township on May ll, 1946. The result Was a favorable 88 to 80 vote. The second focus shifted to the dissolution of non-operating Community High School District i1:l88 of the Dundas and West Liberty areas. The dissolution was successful by a vote of 398 to 23 on lune l, 1948. The third phase of the consolidation program was completed on Iune 29, 1948, when simultaneous elections were held in Preston, German, and Bonpas Townships, all of which areas voted favorably for annexation. At Dundas the results were 108 to 2, at German Town Hall, 44 to 18, and at Berryville, 48 to 6. The final block of territory to vote on the annexation question Was Madison Township where an election was held on September 7, 1946, Here, too, the- decision at the polls was a favorable one, the vote being 74 to 31. Thus was consummated the high school consolidation program. The territory of the district now comprised 257 square miles instead of the original 42, and contained all of the area and people it would need eventually to serve.

A transportation system was set up to bring the Olney High School closer to its students. In the school year of l946-47 school busses covered routes totaling approximately 430 miles daily and serving only a few less than 200 high school students. During the fall of l946 the administration, Board of Education, Steering Committee, Education Council, and staff made an extensive study of the educational needs of the district. foining in this report were the architects, Boyer and Davis, Urbana, Illinois, and representatives of the State Superin- tendent's Office, and the University of Illinois High School V1sitor's Office. The result of this study was a recommendation that a 35950000 bond issue for a building program be submitted to the people for their approval. Again the resources of the school and community were thrown into an intense public relations campaign which took the story of the needs of educa- tion to people wherever they would read or listen. At an election on March 8, l947, the bond issue carried 3189 to 573. It has been a year of accomplishment and a year of steadfast faith in the value of education. The people of Richland County have set a pace of educational progress in the past year which again places them along with the most forward looking communities of Illinois. The task remains to consolidate the gains, to make faith a living reality in a system of education for all of the children of all the people. In this task we face the future confidently with the major physical problems solved, and an aggressive school spirit to spur us on.

FQOTB LL HI JHLIGHT We look to the future in football, better equipment, better teams, and better seasons. Let us not forget the season just passed at O. T. H. S., the spirit of our boys both in victory and defeat. The season started at Newton with both teams failing to score. Then our first victory, over Fairfield, 19-13. The Tigers came from behind twice to become the victors. We lost at Lawrenceville 25-12 and again at Bridgeport 20-U. The team came back against Mt. Carmel to win l3-7 and brought back new spirit to 'themselves and the Olney fans, The largest crowds in Olney's football history turned out for the Salem and Flora games. Although the boys lost to Salem 53-U and then to Flora 55-U, they kept high spirit in both games. Remember the disputed touchdown in the Flora game? Elected most valuable man by his team was Gene Harmon. Bob Schmal- hausen was elected captain for the second straight year. Nine seniors have finished playing football for Olney: lames Brinkley, Max Hocking, lack Schaeffer, Dale Summers, lack Berry, George Di Ciro, Bob Hayes, Bob l-learring, and Bill Donhaiser.

Bill Donhaiser really is up in the air at the Olney-Salem game. Weren't We all? 'l'here's Bob Schmal- hausen shooting af- ter one of his fast dribloles in the close Olney-Lawrenceville game. N ACTIQ Bob Hayes is pre- pared to take the re- bound it Donhaiser's shot fails to score, Bob Hearring is do- ing his best to get the bali from Flora in a chance to score. A crucial time out in the Olney- Plora game: Three minutes to go-tour points behind. Westall passes to Donhaiser despite Summers'CLaWrence- villeb attempt to pre- vent him from shoot- ing. Another highlight in Olney-Flora game as Iack Schaeffer drib- bles in to add two more points to our score. BASKETBALL 19116-1947 lf you saw good basketball played this year, you no doubt were present when the Olney Tigers were in action. Although the team didn't get as far as we expected or wanted them to, it was a very good year for our team. Getting off to a slow start but improving steadily under Frosty Sprowl's coaching, they advanced to win the New Year's Day Tournament at Flora. lt was a hectic day but a good start for the New Year. The Tigers after starting the New Year right lost to Salem by one point and then to Flora in an overtime. The third time being a charm, we almost lost to Bridgeport by one point, but Westall saved the game by that beautiful shot in the last three seconds. Remember the wonderful Robinson game in our gym? They were all exciting games and the gym was packed for every one of them. Dave Westall was elected most valuable man by the team, and Bob Schmalhausen was chosen captain for next year's team. Dave Westall and lack Schaeffer were placed on the North Bgypt's Conference First Team. Seniors on the team are Dave Westall, lack Schaeffer, Bill Donhaiser, Lloyd Larry, Bob l-learring and Bob Hayes. This season also finished a year and a half of successful coaching for Frosty Sprowl.

He also came in second in the high jump there. lohn Gilbert and Dean Smith after coming in first and second respectively in the 220 yard dash at the District Meet. Smitty and Iohnny also took first and second in the 100 yard dash and went to state. Bill Donhaiser, lohn Gilbert and Dave Westall take a few minutes to relax after pole vaulting, running, and high jumping to look at the camera. O. T, H. S. Here is our 880 yard relay team after taking first in the District to go to state This team composed of Iewell Eich horst, Lloyd Larry, Iohn Gilbert and Dean Smith went through the track season undefeated. We're mighty proud of all you and Coach Frosty Sprowl for a successful track season at . .Vx , 1 ' ' Iri5fQif.,f,'X'f. A TRACK 1947 This year's track squad was small, but Coach Frosty Sprowl worked hard with what material he had and turned out a fine team. Although the team lacked quantity, it certainly didn't lack quality, as Olney had some of the outstanding trackmen in this part of the state. The Olney Thinlies made a good showing at the North Egypt Conference Meet at Salem where they placed third. With only a handful of trackmen Coach Sprowl and his team took fourth place in the District Meet held at Bridgeport, only four points behind the winner. They also made good showings in dual meets at Bridgeport and Newton. Part of the team competed in the Indian Relays held at Lawrenceville. The boys who carried the Orange and Black and represented Olney on the track in 1947 are as follows: Sprinters: Dean Smith, NEC Champion in both the l00 yard and 220 yard dashes and District winner of the 100 yard dash. lohn Gilbert, winner of the 220 yard dash at the District Meet. These two boys were outstanding sprinters and usually placed first and second in all the meets. In the 440 yard dash were Lloyd Larry and Bob Hearring who held their own in any track meet. ln the half mile were Don Watson, a promising freshman, and Vernon Pildes. The team's milers were Roy I-lixon, Keith Phillips, and George Miller. Hixon and Phillips placed fourth and fifth respectively in the NEC Meet. The team's hurdlers were Iewell Eichhorst and Don Watson. Eichhorst was one of the outstanding low-hurdlers in the North Egypt Conference. Field Events: Bill Donhaiser and Dave Westall were the high jumpers. Donhaiser was Olney's only pole vaulter. In the weights Nelson Leo threw the discus and Dave Westall and Bob Grove were the shot-putters. Representing Olney in the broad jump were Iewell Eichhorst, Dave Westall, Lloyd Larry and Ronald King. Probably the outstanding part of this year's track team was the 880 yard relay team. This speedy quartet copped the North Egypt Conference title, and took first place in the District Meet at Bridgeport. It was undefeated at dual meets and participated in the state meet held at Champaign. This classy team was composed of Iewell Eichhorst, Iohn Gilbert, Lloyd Larry, and Dean Smith. Ronald King filled in very capably when one of the other fellows was unable to run. Seniors on the track team are: Bill Donhaiser, Bob Grove, Bob Hearring, Lloyd Larry, Nelson Leo, George Miller, Dean Smith, and Dave Westall. 44652 lntramura When you untangle this mass of arms and legs you come out with none other than the Sopho- more Team.

What a yearl PufffPuffll But don't get the idea we're sorry. With all our fun and work combined everything came out swell. Our first activities were deck tennis and volleyball with members of every class making up each team. The DOTS QDream of a Teaml came out on top in volleyball but were beaten by the IinX's in the deck tennis tournament. Then came the rip-roaring basketball season. You wondered what that yelling and screaming echoing from the gym was. Well now you knowl lt was pretty hard to keep from screaming when you were playing in a breath- taking overtime. When the finals came out, it was the champs-Rudy's Roughnecks-but only beating the Senior Black Widows by one point. That was a sample of our play--now here's one of our work. For every basketball game, we kept the fans happy by selling them candy and cokes. Then at the Pow-Wow, you saw all those beautiful girls standing behind coke bars contributing their share to the biggest Pow-Wow ever, After all this backbreaking work, we began to enjoy the fruits of our labor. ln late spring, we gave a Circus party with pink lemonade, Coney islands and all the stuffin's. On May 3rd Qlney held a G. A. A. Playday inviting Flora, Salem, Fairfield, Mt. Carmel, Bridgeport, Robinson, Lawrence- ville, and West Salem. Deck tennis, volley ball, and table tennis were the big events of the day. Pretty big year-eeh? Well, that's the G. A. A. 44689 THE EXECUTIVE BOARD The Planners of the G. A.

Gus having just come back struck up Olney's 40 piece band. Our program began with the football field marching. Every morning about eleven you heard marching feet going briskly toward the field and the practice definitely paid off. We even traveled to Lawrenceville to keep up our football team's spirit. After football season we settled down to more classical music. 'Twas quite a change as we got ready for our February concert. Then the work began. The District Contest at Bridgeport was fast approaching and we had three numbers to prepare. We chose Spiritual Rivers, Ariane, and Hall of Fame. Our labors were repaid gloriously as the Band received first from all four judges. For the next few weeks Spiritual Rivers and the others were coming out of everyone's ears and the whole school was humming them. Our, now, 7U piece band was off to the State Contest at Canton on May lUtl'1. Among the sweet sixteen of lllinois Olney stood up first class. We took two firsts and two seconds equaling a second of which we're really proud. One of our strongest sections: the horns. The horn quartet got second in District and Susie Harms won first in State with her solo. Cathryn Campbell played in the brass sextet which went to State. Prom left to right: Susie Harms, Cathryn Campbell, George Ann Doan, Keith Lanter, Vera Harms, Elzanna Pauley, La Von Baylor. Elzanna Pauley also won first in State with her baton twirling.

The chorus this year under Mr. Sliva's direction was made up of volunteer members of the band and regular chorus. The chorus practiced before school and sometimes in the evenings. Our first public appearance was a Christmas program for the student body. Also, We brought cheer to the sick and shut-ins With our caroling. We had three vocal entries in the District Solo and Ensemble Contest: Mary Michels, Beulah Osborne, and Wayne Shipley-and all made a good showing. ' The chorus sang for the teachers' institute and then we were off to the contest at Bridgeport. The Olney chorus was one of the outstanding choruses present and, need- less to say, We came home With a first rating. The next major event in our life Was the State Music Contest at Canton. Here We competed with the best choruses in the state and this time We received a third rating, which We think is pretty good for the experience we've had. 1 The year ended at Baccalaureate where the chorus helped to add to the air of solemnity With their hymns.

With seventy high school students receiving instruction, Mr. Bower seemed to have plenty to do. The regular meetings were held on Wednesday and Thursday. The large group was divided into four sections. In these sections the members studied prone, sitting, kneeling and standing positions. As these difficult positions were accomplished, diplomas and certificates of achievement were awarded to the deserving ones. To boost the treasury, the Club sold refreshments at all the home football games. Early in the year, with the Olnean and Rifle Club as co-sponsors, a magazine contest was conducted. The Rifle Club lost by a small margin but had to give the Olnean Staff a big party anyway. The teams and individuals seemed to hit the bull's eye everytime. Club competition was held in the intramural matches. Lester Brown won the stand- ing-off-hand honors and Bill Greenwood copped the prone match. 'l The Club also competed in the National Postal Matches consisting of four individual matches. They are quite proud to say that they placed in the upper ten percent of the nation. To end one of its best years, the teams went to St. Louis to compete in the sectional part of the National Shoulder to Shoulder Match. Again, the Olney Club did very well for itself. Lester' Brown placed first in the individual competition, and the team took the second place award.

The major roles were taken by Wayne Shipley, president, Ioann Iones, vice-presidentg Iulia Maas, secretary-treasurerg Miss Hood, sponsor. Our check room opened again this year under the supervision of lo Ann Miracle and was ready to serve the fans of the Olney basketball team. At Thanksgiving, we took an intermission from our work with a party in the Home EC. rooms. Our bi-monthly meetings were devoted to skits and to learning some of the fundamentals of the stage. At our mid-year initiation, eight new actors were taken into the company. Our major production of the year went into rehearsal in February and the play A Date With Iudy was a great success. The Farmer's Daughter, an old-fashioned melodrama, was the Thespians' contribution to the Pow Wow. Ieanine Stoll played the innocent farmer's tDavid Westalll daughter, Dolores Clarke was Ma, with Ann Lough as little sis. And, of course, there must be a villian, which was played by Iohn Frederick, and last but by no means least, the HERO: Wayne Shipley. The last meeting of the year was another initiation of ten additional actors. The Best Thespian award was given to Io Ann Miracle for outstanding work in the club this year. This summer Ioann Iones and Io Ann Miracle will represent our troupe at the National Dramatic Festival at the Univerity of Indiana. The curtain goes down as the school bus arrives safely home from Charleston, where we saw the E. I. S. T. C. production of On Borrowed Time.

T119 lUoz.v ll ou: Make Mine Music , such was the theme for Olney Township High Schools biggest Pow Wow yet. And we really made yours music. That sound of ping, ping, ping against the Wall?-only the Rifle Club putting over their Sharps and flats with bullets. The Hos- pital of Horrors screams of agony struck an unharmonious chord at every little interval and the Fish Pond, Court of lnjustice, Candy Shop, and melodramas came in on the up and down beat working up to the allegro of the 'lMusic Box night club in the gym. The walls fairly danced with chorus lines and Walt Disneys fantastic characters, including the Whale who Wanted to sing at the Met and Peter and the Wolf. Conductor lack Berry, master of cere- monies, took up the baton, the Red Morris band swung out, and the floor literally swirled with jitterbugs. Five of the attendants: Angela Kocker, Vera Harms, Beulah Osborne, Beulah Heindselman, and Susie Harms. of I Q47 Then came the glorious finale when Queen Elizabeth Phillips, escorted by Lloyd Larry, walked down the white aisle to a blazing trumpet fanfare. All heads were turned as last year's Pow Wow queen crowned Liz and Mr. Cherry offered his congratulations. Slow, sweet music drifted forward and the Queen and her attendants with their escorts went onto the floor to glide through the Queen's dance. Next came the floorshow with tap routines, Vocal solos, baton twirling, and a chorus, all set to music. Why it was practically profes- sional and were the people astonished when they heard Al folson the second Cliddie Wilf liamsl. Again Red Morris struck up the band an so ended the best Pow Wow ever. Long live the Queen! Miss Elizabeth Phillips Queen of the Pow Wow of 1947. The rest of the Queen's attendants: Delores Larry, Mary Michels, Donna Tibbs, Dona Boone, and Io Ann Totten.

Something new in the Way of clubs has been added to O. T. H. S. this year: the Robert Ridgway Chapter of the Future Teachers of America Club. F. T. A. Clubs exist in various high schools and colleges, but ours was only the tenth one in Illinois to be issued a charter. The members of each chapter are given the privilege of naming their club after some Well-known educator. We unanimously chose an Olney citizen, Robert Ridgway, as he was a World-known scientist and ornithologist. We are small in number, but that hasn't stopped us from carrying out several interesting activities this year. Each member served as a proctor teacher in the absence of a regular teacher, at other times teaching was done with a supervising teacher present. During National Education Week the F. T. A. Club gave a program for the school, bringing out the need for better education and better teachers, explaining the reasons for having a chapter and its ideas and functions. The first year ended successfully with a party given by the members for their guests. The retiring president and other Senior members Wish the club and its sponsor, Miss Pearl Yost, good luck in their constructive Work. e962 SENIQR PLAY A CREDIT TO THE FAMILY Mr. Stone . ..

Hurryl lt's a matter of lite or deathl Qlmecm Staff The Book was opened this year with a trip to Champaign: The editors, Barbara Keen, Evelyn McDaniel, Nelson Leo, and Katherine Sue Mullinax, and our sponsor, Miss Schmalhausen, Went to the State Yearbook Convention. The Work Chapter began with much aid from the many ideas We received at the State Convention. On one of the first pages in this chapter, we see the hard Working Staff members selling magazines in their annual contest with the Rifle Club. As We look into the index of many pleasant memories of the Olnean, we come to the word Pictures, and we reminisce over Picture Day and the party We gave for the faculty. A little farther on We come to Pleasures, and we think of the Olnean Dances, in particular, the big Christmas Dance. We see the trip to Chicago on May 9, which Barbara, Evelyn, and Miss Schmalhausen took. They visited the engraving plant Where our plates are made and all in all they had a wonderful time. With the finishing of the book and the distribution, the editors close the pages of a Wonderful year for the Olnean. We hope We rate All-American.

But quizzing isn't the only thing these students can do. 'l'hey're outstanding in all things, especially character, leadership, and service. The National Honor Society is an organization that has been an important but silent part of our school for many years. lt encourages outstanding work in all fields. The members are chosen by their fellow classmen and the faculty. Last year three students Were chosen as probationary members of the National Honor Society. By retaining their positions as outstanding Seniors these Iuniors become full-fledged members. These members are: Marilla Car- son, Martha Gassmann, and Barbara Keen. Then this 'year eight additional members could be elected to this honorary society. The other members are: Thirza Badger, Marion Clarke, Willard Dean, Ioan Madden, Evelyn McDaniel, Katherine Mullinax, Gene Bose, Io Ann Totten. The Iunior probationary members for next year are: Wanda Lee Farris, Marjorie Herman, loyce laggi, Barbara Garrett, Nadine le-nnings, Ioann lones, Donald Pennington, Robert Schmalhausen. 4410025 J , f 4 I ' N nnmu I 'F 4 E Z 'f Z Il f 4 ! f a , 'ff' Q.
