THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH- The year of 1947-1948 was a year of consummation in the drive to forge a physical pattern which would insure the ultimate in educational advantages. The school year of 1947-48 inherited from its predecessor enviable accom- plishments in educational progress. The old Olney Township High School with its forty-two square miles of territory became .the Olney Area High School with a district comprising two hundred and fifty-seven square miles, offering opportunities to all alike through an extensive system of student transportation. ln the vaults were 595U,UOU in bonds dedicated to the erecf tion of an adequate school plant. Movement was discernible at the element- ary school level, also, where some sixty-four grade school districts joined to become the East Richland Consolidated Elementary School, embracing an area almost identical to the high school district. These heritages furnished the challenge for l947'48, and on March 5, l94S, the people in the eastern two-thirds of Richland County met that chal- lenge by voting i256 to 426 in favor of the establishment of the East Richland Community Unit District No l, This action at the polls placed the entire program of education in six townships in the hands of one board and one administration. cc5v 3 l lottrcl Clf flclztcrttiozz lQ+lc - IO-I0 nun usnngxgauuv Kill Qu From left to right: Robert Ulm, Bernard Schick, R l Fritschle, R L Blackburn, President, Gerald Kermicle, William F.

Fvery fear and hope will forward it . . . -Burke Heirs of a dual educational experience, but possessing a firm mandate from the people to consider public education at whatever' grade level as an integer, the new board of education faces a most crucial task. The physical plant and the educational community now are a unit in fact. The resources of two-thirds of a county can be rnarshaled to bring to every child wherever he lives or whoever he is the equal opportunity to achieve that which his interests and abilities lead him to do. As he passes from infancy to childhood, and through adolescence to adulthood, and grows continuously to assume finally his full responsibilities as a citizen of his community and the world, so must he be guaranteed a continuous educae tional experience geared to his development, unbroken by aaps extraneously imposed. The shift from problems which are tangible and physical to those which involve the intangible and the mental often may seem either unimportant or insurmountable. But persistent faith will find the means to achieve its goals Principal f. l-l.

Holding its banner ot i'Great Days' high, the O.A.H.S. band started its parade of events. First on the calendar came the football game marching, For days it wasnt un' usual to hear a band member utter 'illxip 2-3-4 or About face, but our labors were repaid gloriously when we showed off at the Homecoming game. Our trip to march at the Salem game was another day well never forget. lglllld Now while resting our aching feet, We began a study of more classical and semi- classical music. At the basketball aarnes, our touch ot jazz gave the fans a thrill. On February 27th the Salem band paid us a visit and together we aave the Olney fans a real concert. Several Weeks later, we repaid their visit and gave the concert again at Salem. Then carrie the busy months ot March and April. Between the solo and ensemble contest at Bridgeport and our musical ex- travaganza Freedomland the band was certainly in a whirl, 71 D7 Our Director Gus Slivcr 'Sh A 5771? 4 mf L f 5 , 3 N fy M523 . , '.

These dates were days indeed to put in the O.A.H.S. diary. Out of one whirl into another we took in the State Contest at Taylorville emerging with nine solo firsts and three ensemble firsts. On May first in our new uniforrns we really strutted our stuff in the annual May Day parade. About a week later caine the Mt. Carmel festival which we joyously attended. lt was a great sight indeed to see more than one thousand bandsrnen parade and play in the mass concert given in the stadium. We were especially proud to have our Queen, Susie l-larms, chosen as Grand Festival Queen.

This trial 'Whats the matter, see a sea monster, Louise? Hows the altitude up there ? lllou' lwoztf Mermaids, buried treasure, sunken ships, and most everything else found in the sea were created from the Underwater Theme of the Pow Wow this year. The shouts that greeted the crowd as they came in the door were not shouts of mercy but merely, the Sophomores' presentation of Iulius Caesar which was certainly a far cry from Shakespeare's interpretation. The return of Alberta, the blues songs of Harlem-Hole-in-the-Wall, the shots from the Shooting Gallery, all helped in the fun making. The Freshman fish pond, where every fisherman was assured of a catch, also contributed to the gener'al atmosphere of merriment, which was at its highest peak Friday night. The highlight of the evening, however, was the coronation of the 1947-48 Pow Wow Queen. To a blazing fanfare, Queen Marg Eagleson was escorted by Don Creager down the long white aisle to the coronation stand. All eyes and ears were alert when last year's Queen, Liz Phillips, crowned Marg. Following this was a colorful floor show, particularly Mary Margaret Michel's interpretation of How Deep is the Ocean.

Well, let us tell you about a few of ours. Our first Great Days began with a trip to Champaign to the Illinois State High School Press Association. Co-Editors: Neva Schahrer and Nan Van Matre, Ass't Co-Editors: loAnn Henderson and Io Ann Miracle, accom- panied by our Assistant Sponsor, Miss Ruth Bozarth, were our representatives. Year-book conferences, a big dance, and the lllinois-Pennsylvania football game were some of the highlights of the trip. Second on our schedule came the Magazine Sales Contest with the Rifle Club, and again the Olnean won and again the Rifle Club gave us the party. We're not bragging- -they put up a good fight--but the Olnean supporters just won out, The fine spirit of the underclassmen gave forty-one students rating as Associate Members of the Olnean Staff. Most of our dances were held after the Friday night football and basket- ball games. The students liked this plan, the dances furnished just what was needed between the high excitement of the games and getting home and to bed. The Christmas dance with its colorful decorations and floor show was our top dance. The advertising group made the contacts with the merchants and com- munity organizations. The response, as usual, was very gratifying. Nothing shows better the fine interest of the adults of Olney for' the youth of the town than their generosity as Financial Sponsors of the Olneanf' 5th hour luniors, from left to right: Dolores Clarke, Winifred Weber, Helen Mullinax, lr-anine Stoll, Mary Ann Kern, Ann ' uali, rind Mitzi McCarty.

Picture Day this year became Picture Days. Mr. Spieth came, carne againg and carrie again. Each time we waited breathlessly for the results, and each time we were elated. Then for the actual building of the Olnean of l948. The editors and Miss Schrnalhauseri, sponsor, went into a huddle of fitting and identifying pictures, writing and correcting stories, and greatest day of all the dummy is finished and started on its way to the printer.
