BE IN TIME - - Be in time for every callg If you can't be first of all, Be in time. If your teachers only find You are never once behind, But are, like the dial, true, They will always trust in you: Be in time. Never linger ere you startg Set out with a willing heart, Be in time. In the morning, up and on, First to Work, and soonest done: 'This is how the goal's attained: This is how the prize is gained: Be in time. Those who aim at something great Never yet were found too late: Be in time. Life with all is but a school: We must work With plan and rule, With some noble end in view, Ever steady, earnest, true: Be in time. Listen, then, to wisdom's call- Knowledge now is free to all: Be in time. Youth must daily toil and strive Treasure for the future hiveg For the Work they have to do, Keep this motto still in view: Be in time. fi, W iff-E. f . A, A ' ,.. 1 a l .11 X if f if J , N. ' - . ,.

Whatever work comes to your hand, At home or at your school, Do your best with right good will, It is a golden rule. For he who always does his best, His best will better grow, But he who shirks or slights his task, Lets all the better go. What if your lessons should be hard? You need not yield to sorrow, For he who bravely works to-day, His task grows light to-morrow.

This particular date, will in time, probably become as famous as July 4, December 25, and many others, for it was on this his- toric date that the graduating class of 1944 began its long itinerary to knowl- edge and fame. On this fateful day, we students, bewildered and just a little bit scared, started to Onarga Grade School. Miss Cain met us at the door, sitting down. At nine o'clock in the morning our sobbing mothers left and we laughing students carried on alone. Roll call was taken and the following people yelled present: Mervin Bewsey, Richard Brewer, William Brown, Robert Dannehl, Betty Dicken- son, Robert Fisher, Donna Fugar, Dorothea Hanson, Ann Hahne, Iris Kee- ver, Harry Kincade, Royal Krause, Aleen Lambert, Stanley Link, Elwood Lambert, Jean Legan, Evelyn Lewis, Claudia Ludwick, Doris McFadden, Leah McQueen, Eileen Neal, Thomas Rodgers, Carl Theesfeld, Roland Til- stra, John Uphoff, Dale French, Mildred Wilson, and Dale Ritz. In the second grade we were blessed with the presence of Wayne Lee, who came in from that famous western school, Ridgeville. Under the guid- ance of Miss Kathleen Artz tMrs. Ray BlackJ we built our postoffice and sent mail all over school. The eighth graders sent their love letters of course but we didn't know about that yet. CLive and learnb. 'We were met in the third grade by higher mathematics and Miss Helen Black tMrs. H. W. Cultraj. We sang songs fwhile Lee and Tom Rodgers sat cn Miss Blackls lapj and Lambert sat in front throwing paper wads at a jar. Lucille Burnett joined us here. We passed right into the fourth grade with a twinkle in our ,eye and a song in our hearts but it took Miss Wand to bring out our musical ability, which she ably did by way of her pet folk songs, and our boogie woogie minstrel show. From here on we climbed the steps regularly, we were now in depart- mental and Miss Clark had many interesting things to tell us about her trip to the west. We worked on puzzles in our spare time but we were bound to run into tougher ones, namely decimals. In the sixth grade we tried our luck as artists. Miss Yaw eternally had us painting water color scenes. But as long as Lee kept her supplied with THE '44 ONARQUOIS popcorn she was in a good humor. Our traditional salt maps turned out rather well. We went into a new building to start out the seventh grade and had our first men teachers. Mr. Bevins and Mr. Wright did admirably well, and here Mr. Bevins was setting the foundation for our great Onarga Indians. Four years of high school may be four years we will always remember but those 8 years of grade school will be right down memory lane. As eighth graders we now realized regretfully that we would never again be walking those halls, playing marbles in back, or fighting over the swings or ocean wave. We were growing up and were proud of it, though we realized that our foundation was the best ever and we hated to leave old O. G. S. We graduated in May, Ann as Valedictorian, Donna, Salutatorian, and the Le- gion awards were presented to Wayne Lee and Eileen Neal. As usual we had a rainstorm the night of graduation. On September 3, 1940, 45 shaking Freshmen crawled into this strange building that we had heard so much about. We elected our class officers. President, B. Dannehlg Vice-President, W. Lee, Secretary, C. Theesfeld, and Treasurer, S. Link. To add to our class this year we had Elaine Kohler, Janice Colebank, Stanley Link, Christine Peters, Jackie Watchorn, Woodrow Wilson, Don Schumers, Lucille Theesfeld, and oh yes, Elwood Lambert joined us again. We were proud of our class because they took an outstanding part in athletics, dramatics, and music. We were under the able sponsorship of Miss Agnes Hansen. Now well on our way through this supposedly four year course we started out with 35 Sophomores. It looks as though we lost a few of our classmates. This year we were under the sponsorship of Miss Boone, alias Mrs. McMillan. Our class officers were President, W. Lee, Vice--President, B. Dannehlg Secretary, C. Theesfeld, and Treasurer, E. Neal. Our class made an exceptional showing by having two of its members steal the honor of being crowned King and Queen at the Mid-Winter carni- val. The Queen - Leah McQueen. King - Stanley Link. This year we showed our ambitions by the girls entering music contest and the boys taking leading parts in athletics. Bernice Bower was a new classmate. This year, our Junior year, we lost three members, Bernice Bower, Dale French, and Jean Legan, and gained two members, Jack Tadlock and Mildred Wilson. THE '44 ONARQUOIS With Miss Dryden as our sponsor this made a very promising year. Our class officers were President, B. Dannehlg Vice-President, W. Lee, fsame old storyj, Treasurer, S. Link, and Secretary, A. Hahne. This year was really a boorn', in athletics, and our Junior boys deserve a lot of credit. Our Junior play, Footloose , proved to be one of the best plays ever presented at O. T. H. S. Our class had the honor of having our candidates crowned King and Queen at the carnival, these two being Eileen Neal and Wayne Lee. This year a great many of our Juniors went to state play contest in Champaign. The play in which they showed their acting ability was Pro- logue to Glory. Any extra time this year was spent in trying to make money for our annual Banquet and Prom. We mustn't forget to mention our class program which we presented at Christmas time. It was a repetition of a Xmas program given in the little old red school house in the days of yoref' Our Jr. - Sr. Banquet and Prom was done in the theme of the Armed Forces. It went over with a Bang . We started out our final year with Mr. Reed as our Senior class sponsor. Our officers being President, W. Lee, Vice-President, Glen Finkg Secre- tary, C. Theesfeldg Treasurer, S. Link. As Stanley went to the Army Carl Theesfeld took over his duties as Treasurer. Five of our members failed to support us in our Senior year leaving us with 29 members. Ever since our Freshman year we had looked forward to the time when we could conduct initiation. We received this honor in October, 1943. Ever since we have been in High School our class bovs had made a fine showing in athletics. This year was no exception. The first team in bas- ketball was almost completely made up of Seniors. As Seniors, we wanted to leave a gift to the school so we sold magazine subscriptions for the Curtis Magazine Co. This money was used to buy a placque for graduates in service. We ended Senior year with three important occasions. The Jr.-Sr. Banquet and Prom on May 10, Baccalaureate on May 14 and Commence- ment on May 18. We have finally come to the end of our 12 years of school and education. There is not a single member of the class that would take anything for its many experiences and pleasures.

THE '44 ONARQUOIS Class Prophecy Carl Theesfeld: The millionaire of the year 1964 has bought a new Tele- vision set from the Onarga Mercantile. Carl made his Millions as a Contrac- tor for the New Onarga High School Gymnasium. We now see him trying it out on the garden roof of the Onarga Township High School. Onarga is a suburb of Del Rey, the Boom Town. As Mr. Theesfeld tunes in the dial we hear the commercial of the Glis- terine Company. The Three G's, grease, grit and grim, are removed by Glisterine, a product of the Glisterine Company called Glisterine. This product also removes dirt off clothing, skin and teeth. As the commercial finishes we hear the jungle cry of Tarzan's protege, Bill Brown, as he swings from chandelier to chandelier, looking for his dream woman, Vera Vage. Turning the dial to W. D. Z., Tuscola, Illinois. The Gentleman Farmer, Uncle Glen Fink, is singing the News at High Noon. His flash today he sings in two four time. He- has just been awarded the Contented Cows metal for his teaching cows to sing, so as to give better milk. With a flip the dial is back to the Glisterine Program. We hear the announcer giving us the startling news that Anne Hahne of Onarga, Illi- nois, has just been awarded the prize of GLISTERINE QUEEN. Ann is still at home, waiting. With a twist of the wrist the television set picks up a symphony led by none other than our old chum Jack Tadlock. His musical ability is believed to have been developed during his free periods at O. T. H. S. in the noted music room. A famous woman in the Theater world, Iris Keever, known for her abil- ity to handle money is now giving a little information on the whereabouts and whys on her fellow classmates way back in the year ,o,o,o,o T- ahem, well, way back. Let's listen, it may prove quite interesting. She is now commenting about her friend and colleague Doris McFadden. Doris's ambition of school days were realized. She is secretary to the road commissioner. Of course she has a little extra time on her hands so she is booking agent to that famous Sweet Music Hasselbring Orchestra. Mildred Wilson is wowing them in Chicago with her new bubble dance. Sally Rand and Gypsy Rose Lee are now in the old people's home. So Mil- dred is now the new sensation. Rolland Tilstra and Wayne Lee are now the new Abbot and Costello of the Radio and Screen. Lee tells the jokes and Tilstra laughs. The boys' temporary home is in Gilman. Their trade names are Harry and Perry. Phyllis Morgan sent Miss Keever a letter two weeks ago from Afganis- tan where she is a missionary converting the natives, She says some of the THE '44 ONARQUOIS natives are very interesting after they learn English. But why learn English? Dorothea Hanson is a receptionist in a Veterinary's office. She lost her last job in the Vogue beauty shop, where she was head hair dresser. She was employed there for exactly 100 days, 3 hours, 2 minutes and 10 sec- onds. It seems that she was late for 100 consecutive days. Feeling a little moody Mr. Theesfeld moves the dial to the Metropolit- tan Opera Company to hear the famous Carmon sung by the notorious stars Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Barber. Mrs. Barber is the former Miss Rebecca Orr. They have been quoted to say that the business is picking up. They will pay income tax this year. Back to Miss Keever as she now announces a few news flashes. Miss Keever could have taken over Kate Smith's job but Miss Keever would rather be an announcer. Flash: Professor Robert Fisher, Ph. D. of Harvard, astounded the na- tion when he advanced his new theory of Evolution. He is furthering the work of Darwin. Janice Colebank just returned from Reno, Nevada, where she divorced her 4th husband. Janice is now quite well to do. Quotes she: Alimony did it. Alice Mae Woods is the head Rhumba instructor in the Arthur Murray School of Dancing, in New York. She'll be starring soon with Fred Astaire in his new picture Gone are the Days . Miss Woods' new creation, the Onarga Schuffle, is the new rage in New York. Stanley Link dropped a card to Miss Keever today and let her know that he is about to lose his job as Warden in Leavenworth Prison. Since Wardens are political appointments somebody found that Stanley voted for Uphoff instead of Dannehl for Illinois Senator. Oh, yes, Dannehl is the sen- ator now. Always knew he would talk himself into something. Carl turns the dial now to the Ringling Brothers Barnum Baily Circus. We see the Famous Fat Woman, Lucille Theesfeld. Her theme song is Mrs. 5 by 5 . She advertises the Glisterine product, Glisterine which is the famous reducer. She is now pulling down S24 a month. The Glisterine Program is sponsored by Don Schumers, the President of the Elite Lingerie Factory in Leonard, Illinois. The former Mrs. Day, the present Mrs. Dannehl, the once Miss Eileen Neal, is now running the friendly laundry in Main Street, their motto is Service If You Smile. She and her 7 children are waiting word from her husband whether to move to Washington or not. They have been waiting for two years. Woodrow Wilson is the sole owner of the Kentucky estate called the Hide Out. He owns 40 acres and a mule with a distilling plant and an THE '44 ONARQUOIS underground railroad to help white men escape from the clutches of the brutal blacks. Donna Fugar is now the sole owner of the free movies in Onarga. They run every Saturday night, on Ole Main Street. That street is just one block west of the Service Men's Shelter, the night spot of Onarga. She sells pop- corn between reels. The popcorn is now sold on shares with Kerosate's Theater. A floor show with each bag. A sad note now is heard from our narrator Miss Keever. Our astound- ing scientist Royal Krause has been serving a jail sentence for trying to im- personate national figures.

His chief assistant was Kenny Sterrenberg who was elected to the right hand seat. The other two officers in our crew were Peggy Up- hoff, treasurer, and Blanche Lindsay, secretary. Our maintenance crew was formed by the rest of the Juniors. One of the main problems of the Juniors was to make money enough to finance a banquet and prom for the Rulers of O. T. H. S. Because of the high interest of some of the Juniors in some of the Seniors, they put Blanche Lindsay on as chairman of the finance committee. Her able assist- ants were Doris Cupp, Utopia Kincade, Rex Mitchell, and Jack Wright. They along with the cooperation of their class members sold pop, pencils, pups thot dogs to youl, pop corn, and pennants. The finance committee de- serve considerable praise for their fine job. Our class is well represented in the music making of our school. Peggy and Jack represent us as soloists and we have some in orchestra and chorus. In sports the Juniors were prominent figures. Much of the credit in ringing up an undefeated season in football and having a good year in bas- ketball goes to them. Some of the fellows that figured in sports were: Sterrenberg, Wright, Thorne, Schnurr, Elmer and Delmer Theesfeld, Kanosky, Brantley, Peters, Hockersmith, McNeil, and Cox. We wish to congratulate Miss Suppes on the wonderful way in which she stood the strain of sponsoring our class. She has helped us a lot even though when certain refs are here she sometimes forgets her work. On the whole she is always ready to help and has put a lot of time and effort into our class. Besides any sponsor who can so ably stand up after a year with our class deserves congratulations so we salute you, Miss Suppes. Also to Mr. Baker, our assistant sponsor, who kept order at the class meetings. THE '44 ONARQUOIS JUNIOR CLASS WRITE-UPS Donna Absent,' Arends-lt's going to be formal - or else??!!

The class at this time appointed committees to work on the gymnasium and focd. Several tnernes were suggested but after dis- putes Happy Landingn, came through and the Junior class of twenty-four members began working. Due to the scarcity of material, blue crepe paper was secured from six sources and each time we thanked our lucky stars that it matched what we had previously purchased. The date for prom and banquet was finally decided for May 10. As that date rapidly approached, the Juniors feverishly began their decorating. The gym draped with blue crepe paper represented the sky and in the center was a huge parachute, of white crepe paper. A revolving beacon light furnished the light. Music was furnished by the O. M. S. orchestra. The lower hall, in which the banquet was held, was decorated with blue and white paper. Model airplanes hung from the ceiling.

THE '44 ONARQUOIS Sophomore Class We, the Sophomores of 1944, have now taken our second step in the Great Halls of Learning of Onarga otherwise known as O. T. H. S. It seems this year our class had dwindled down to eighteen but Norma Templeton from Kankakee and later Barney Brantley from Piper City brought it up to a grand total of twenty. Not only have we had trouble with our number but also our sponsors. Mr. Seaney, our No. 1 sponsor, has faithfully stayed on the job through thick and thin, but our assistant Miss Nordell left us in the middle of the year to accept another position. Mrs. Taylor then came and very ably filled the vacancy. A meeting was called right away because we were now Sophomores, and there were some Freshmen which had to be received. On September 24 the Freshman-Sophomore Reception took place in the gym. It was a grand event - just ask the Freshmen. Our class officers are Mary Dannehl, presidentg Burt Keever, vice pre:- identg Marilyn Davis, secretary, Elsie Wright, treasurer. When Christmas time rolled around, the assembly was again decorated by the Sophomores' Annual Christmas Tree. This year it dldn't quite stand so high, but it had due recognition. At Miss Nordell's last meeting we were all treated to cokes as her going away present. The annual school program was also discussed. Many new ideas issued forth, but at this writing none are definite. Now here is the Sophomore Class in person: Burnell Barney Brantley-Our blue-eyed Clark Gable. Mary Peanutbutter Dannehl-Oh for a car, a blue Ford will do. Veda Early bird Ebert-Comes the dawn and she'll be gone. Martha Giggles Griener-The girl with the sixth sense-humor. Marion Moe Harris-One possessed with a movable mind. June Poony,' Hahne-Flying High with the NAVY. Leo Possum Kanosky-Our football star at the present - the school's future. THE '44 ONARQUOIS Burt Falsetto,' Keever-The Swoon Crooner of our midst. Glenn Spitball', Nichoalds-All he needs is a patent for his thriving manufacture of spitballs and airplanes. Wilma Circie Krause-Oh how I hate to get up in the morning. LaVerne Turtle Price-The speed violator of a mile a minute. Beverly Navy Russell-Floating through with the Navy blue. Bob Fireball Rutledge-Slow with the tongue but fast with the feet. Bob Sweden Shroyer--One boy with a car!! Beverly Pansy Sumrall-There's something about cadets that is fine, fine, fine.

THE '44 ONARQUOIS Freshman Class It was the morning of August 30 when into the Study Hall for the first time we, the Freshmen of 43-44, staggered, with the Sophomores grinning LThanking their lucky stars that it was us instead of themj, the Juniors completely ignoring us except when we pulled one of our numerous boners fat which they had convulsionsj, and the Seniors simply drooling from an- ticipation of our long awaited and dreaded initiation day - but this was nothing to the confusion of the bells! Not that it was embarrassing or any- thing to look around and have everyone sitting down but you or to get up and dash out of Study Hall at the five minute bell because - it was. After our first class meeting at which we were drilled on the necessary O. T. H. S. etiquette CI-Ialj we did seem to fit in a bit better. For this in.- struction which lifted our minds from chaos to plain ordinary confusion we wish to thank our class sponsor, Mrs. Hoger. At this same meeting the fol- lowing were struck with the following positions as class officers: Neil Talbert ..rr . .rrr,r President Neil Gray .rrr rr rw Vice-President Betty Lou Price - 4- ,.ll. Secretary Paul Fryer ,rrr. Hr Treasurer As we look back over the year we see that our Freshmen participated in many of the year's activities such as football, basketball, baseball, track, choruses, band, annual staff, Narghi News Staff, G. A. A., and Home Ec. Club, though at our initiation we probably made our most noticeable ap- pearance. We want to thank the Sophomores for the fine reception they held for us and we hope we will make the coming freshmen as miserable. In closing we want to wish to the Senior Class twhich at first terrified us, but since we have grown to likej the best of luck in their future endeavors, THE '44 ONARQUOIS FRESHMEN WRITE-UPS Fern Goldilocks,' Alvey: She always has a :mile and is usually seen studying.

Rantoul Friday, Nov. 5 ,-, --.- Gilman ON ARGA vs. FORREST The first opponent to test the strength of the Indians in their 1943 sea- son was Forrest. The first game of the season was played at Forrest. De- termined to carry on where last year's team left off by winning all of their games the Indians took the field against a mediocre Forrest eleven. There's wasn't any doubt as to the outcome of their initial battle once the game was underway. Forrest kicked off to Onarga and the Indians began their first touchdown march. Dannehl plunged over for the first score and then kicked the extra point. Forrest put up a determined effort but was powerless against the strong forward wall of the Onarga boys. In addition to the running of Dannehl, Lee and Tilstra, the fine blocking of Link, big Joe Kanosky showed that he could still catch a pass. The play of the line was good, being led by Wilson and Joe Kanosky. There was some inexperience in Uphoff and Leo Kanosky, but these two boys settled down as the game progressed and the line showed up very well. The score at the final gun was 39-0, and once again the Indians had gotten off to a victore ious start. SAUNEMIN vs. ONARGA Playing away from home again and this time without the services of their hard hitting fullback, Dannehl, the Indians preserved their undefeated and unscored on record by winning over a tough but inexperienced Saune- min eleven to the tune of 27i-O. The team had to rely mainly on a good pass- ing attack and a dogged defense to win this game. In the first quarter the passing attack functioned very well. The Lee to Kanosky combination pro- duced two touchdowns in quick succession and at the end of the quarter the score was 14-0. In thetsecond quarter the Onarga eleven let down and did not score. Saunemin had possession of the ball most of the time but was unable to dent the Onarga defense for more than a few yards at a time and the half ended with Onarga in possession of a 14-0 lead. The third quarter was a repetition of the second. In the fourth quarter the Indians came to life and scored two more touchdowns. Lee scored on a wide-end run and a pass from Lee to Wright produced the final tally. The try for extra point failed and the game ended 27-0. CHATSWORTH GAME On Friday, October 1, the Indians played their first home game. The opposition was furnished by Chatsworth. The first quarter the Chatsworth Bluebirds held the Indians to one touchdown. In the remaining quarters the Indians scored at least three THE '44 ONARQUOIS touchdowns a quarter. Wilson and his famous toe kicked five extra points after touchdowns. Chatsworth proved a set-up for Onarga's sleeper play, and the Indians scored three times, once in each of the last three quarters on this particular play. One of the splendid blocks of the season was made by Joe Kanosky in this game. Near the end of the game he blocked a man about as hard as a man could be taken out. The score of this game was 70 to O. The Indians were the winners again. ONARGA vs. RANTOUL Rantoul offered the first real test for the Indians' claim for glory. The Rantoul eleven were described as the Iron Men by the newspapers. The play of the Onarga eleven was superb. Playing at night on their opponents' gridiron the game was attended by a large crowd. The first quarter started as Rantoul kicked off to Onarga. The Indians proceeded to start taking the Iron Men apart. With Dannehl carrying on plunges and Lee and Tilstra running the ends the Indians marched to their first touchdown but failed to convert the extra point. Rantoul in possession of the ball was unable to make any progress. With the line playing a won- derful game on defense as well as on offense the first quarter ended 6-0. The Indians opened the second quarter with another smash to score. Dannehl converted to make the score 13-0. Then the tragedy of the game struck. Onarga was making a goalward march when Lee fumbled and Estes of Rantoul caught the ball in the air and easily outdistanced pursuers to make the score 13-3. This was the first time the Indians' goal line had been crossed and this was due to a freak accident. The boys didn't let this bother them and the half ended with Dannehl throwing a 60 yard pass to Joe Kanosky but as luck would have it, Joe was tackled a half a yard from the goal when the gun went off ending the half. Coming out for the second half the Indians played like a team inspired. Rantoul did not have a chance as the Onarga eleven tore the Iron Men to pieces. Dannehl and Lee were unstoppable and registered gains every time they had the ball. The blocking of Tilstra and Link was exceptional, and this plus the pass catching of Joe Kanosky and the fine play of the linemen, especially Ster- renberg, was too much for the Eagles. Three more touchdowns were regis- tered and two were called back because of penalties. The final score was 34-6 and the vaunted Iron Men of Rantoul were powerless even to make a first down throughout the entire game. ONARGA vs. PAXTON On a cold rainy evening the football boys journeyed to Paxton to play the Swedes . Being hampered by the weather conditions, the game was much closer than was anticipated by either the team or the spectators. The first quarter was sloppily played by both sides because of the mud and the driving rain. Paxton showed unexpected power as they made sub- stantial gains and through Onarga's forward wall before the line tightened up and began to hold. The only score of the first half occurred when Dan- nehl made a spectacular 95 yards run back of a punt to score. The try for THE '44 ONARQUOIS the point was no good and the quarter ended with the score 6-0 in favor of Onarga. During the second quarter the game became rough and neither team was able to make any substantial gains. The half ended without any further scoring by either team. The art of slugging and kicking was new to the Indians who always played clean ball. This type of ball game seemed to have the Onarga eleven in a mixed up state of mind during the first half but coming out for the second half the Indians showed that they could take care of themselves much to the woes of the Swedes. The 3rd quarter was taken up completely by a pounding goalward march by the Indians. The fourth quarter opened with Onarga still marching and pounding the Swedes into the ground. Two touchdowns were scored in the last quarter and several Paxton men learned to their sorrow what it feels like to be knocked out. The game ended with 1he score 20-0 in favor of the Onarga team. As soon as the final gun sounded there wasn't a Swede to be found. It seemed as though the boys did not wish any further lessons in the gentle art of self-defense. CULLOM vs. ONARGA Onarga was host to Cullom in the second heme game of the year. The Cullom school boasted a strong team, but the Indians were determined as to the final outcome of the game. Playing before a large crowd the Indians kicked off to Cullom. Cullom failed to make anv headway and Onarga took over. Despite stubborn opposition Onarga had little trouble in march- ing to a touchdown with Lee scoring and Dannehl converting. Again in the first quarter Onarga scored and again Dannehl converted. At the close of the quarter Onarga possessed a 14-0 lead. During the second ouarter the game became a little rougher but the officiating was good and the boys calmed down long enough to score an- other touchdown by passing but failed to add the point and the half ended 20-0 in favor of the Indians. Opening the second half Cullom began to show some spark and also a few fists, and as a result, one of the Cullom boys was enabled by the referees to take an early shower. The game settled down however and Onarga scored again in another driving march featuring power and deception coupled with a good passing attack. The third period ended with the score 21-0. Again in the fourth period Onara punched through to score. By the time tension of the game had come to the breaking point and Cullom intercepted a pass and aided by two penalties for unnecessary roughness and a trick play, they scored and added the points. This occurred in the closing minutes of the game and time ran out before Onarga could score again. The final score being 34-7. ONARGA vs. HERSCHER The contest that was to decide the championship of the Vermilion Val- ley conference got under way with Herscher kicking off to Onarga. Link received the ball and ran it back to the 25 yard line. The Onarga team was off to a good breath before Herscher was in the shadow of their goal on a series of line plunges and end runs. Onarga advanced the ball to the Her- scher '7 yard line but fumbled on the play that might have meant the first THE '44 ONARQUOIS touchdown. Herscher took possession of the ball and called for time to re- vamp their forces. Herscher made three attempts to gain through the Onarga line without success. They punted the ball on the fourth down for forty yards. Leo took the kick and returned the ball to the Herscher 20 before he was downed. Onarga drew their first penalty at this stage of the game, 5 yards for offside play. Time was called while Onarga planned the strategy that was to bring the first touchdown and ultimate victory. When play was resumed Onarga took the ball the remaining distance for the winning touchdown on a series of plays. Dannehl went over for the touchdown that started the scoring. Dannehl's kick was wide for the extra point. Onarga kicked to Herscher. Herscher tried a series of plays at the line and failed to gain. A punt was good for 35 yeards. Lee took the kick to the Onarga 0. The Onarga boys began their second goalward march at this point. Lee went through the Herscher line for ten yards to put the ball across the scoring marker. Onarga tried a place kick for the extra point which was wide. The first quarter ended with the score 12 to 0 in favor of Onarga. Onarga kicked to Herscher to open the second quarter of the game. Herscher downed the ball on their own 20 yard line. Herscher made a feeble effort to carry the ball down the field and finally elected to kick. The punt was blocked by the alert defensive play of Onarga. Dannehl was injured at this point and was taken from the game. Leo Kanosky took over the full-back position and the ramrod work of the Onarga team went right on. Leo scored the third touchdown of the game shortly after on a 5 yard plunge. Wilson failed in an effort to score the extra point. Once more Onarga put the ball in play with a kick to Herscher. The Herscher team came to life at this point and succeeded in bringing the ball deep into Onarga territory before the thrust was halted. Onarga was pen- alized 5 yards for having the backfield in motion, and they were forced to kick for the first time in the game. Wilson got off a beautiful punt, the ball going 60 yards before it was retrieved by Herscher. Failing to make headway through the line or around the ends Herscher decided to take to the air in an effort to score. Butch Tilstra broke up this fun for them before it started. He intercepted a pass and carried it 15 yards goalward before he was stopped. Dannehl came back into the game but couldn't stand the gaff and had to be removed. Lee took the ball over for another touchdown a couple of plays later on a 10 yard plunge through the line. Onarga tried another kick from placement for the extra point. The effort failed and the half ended with the score 24 to 0 in favor of the Onarga Indians. The third quarter was packed with thrills for the spectators. The quare ter opened with Herscher kicking off to the Onarga team. Lee brought the ball to the Onarga 25 yard line. Here Onarga began a hard drive in an effort to add to their score. Onarga rammed the Herscher line several times and the boys called for time in an effort to get their breath. When play started again Onarga pulled one of the variations of their sleeper play out of the bag and the fun was on. Dannehl had gone back in the game. He passed the ball to Lee who ran the ball 65 yards before he was stopped. He needed just five yards more THE '44 ONARQUOIS g g for a touchdown. Onarga fumbled and Herscher recovered. Then Herscher put on a passing show. They got two first downs in succession on aerial tactics. Two tries at the Onarga line were unsuccessful. Herscher made another pass good and the end of the third quarter found them 2 yards from a touchdown. Onarga was still leading 24-0. The Indians had their first experience of the season in fighting off a thrust at their goal when the fourth quarter opened. Three times Herscher rammed at the Onarga line and three times those stalwarts held. Hemming, Herscher fullback, slammed hard at the line on the fourth attempt and put the ball over for a touchdown. A plunge for the extra point was not good. The Indians didnlt like being scored on even though it was only the third time this season. When they received Herscher's kick they started out to avenge themselves. They were about too ambitious and another penalty for clipping cost them 15 yards. Onarga was really tough then. It was that kind of toughness that makes a team cold, calculating and determined. The boys reached down deep in their bag of football tricks and dragged out the works in rapid suc- cession. The Dannehl, Joe Kanosky passing combination went into action for a 40 yard gain. This brought the ball within scoring range and Dannehl made it fast work by plunging 15 yards for a touch down. Dannehl punged for the extra point. Onarga kicked to Herscher. Herscher downed the ball on their own 20 and Joe Kanosky recovered for Onarga. Onarga made :mother quick ad- vance to scoring territory, and Dannehl took the ball over on a five yard plunge. A kick from placement failed to bring the extra point. Herscher brought the ball to their 23 yard line on the Onarga kick. Herscher made a first down and then lost the ball on a fumble. Onarga took the ball down the field on a variety of plays. The Onarga line opened another gaping hole in the Herscher defense and Dannehl came plowing through for a ten yard gain and they missed the chance for the extra point and the game ended 43-6. ONARGA vs. GILMAN The climax of the year was at hand. The Gilman Owls journeyed to Onarga for the featured game of the year. Onarga merchants closed up shop Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 3, and went out to watch the champion- ship Onarga High School football team play their last game of the season. The Gilman boys did their best but they were not able to cope with the Onarga Indians very effectively. It was just a case of too much Dannehl, Lee, and Kanosky supported by an impregnable line. Onarga got down to the business of winning the game in the first quar- ter. The ball changed hands a couple of times while the two teams felt each other out. Then Onarga opened one of their goal marches. It came to a quick climax when Dannehl went ten yards for the first touchdown. Gilman was unable to score. The scoring in the second period was done by Lee and Kanosky. Early in the second period Onarga worked the ball well donw toward their goal. Lee took the ball on a wide end run and went across the goal line for a b THE '44 ONARQUOIS touchdown. He carried the ball ten yards on the play that put the ball over the goal. Onarga got possession of the ball again shortly after the kick and began another touchdown effort about midfield. Onarga resorted to passes and Gilman intercepted the second effort. They had possession of the ball within forty yards of their goal and began one of the only real touchdown threats that they made. Gilman couldn't gain through the line so they tried passes. Dannehl intercepted one of the efforts and ran the ball thirty-five yards for the second touchdown in this period. The conversion kick was good and the half ended with Onarga leading by a 19-0 count. If Onarga was tough in the first half, they were mean in the second half. They scored a total of four touchdowns and made three of the extra point efforts good. Gilman was so disgruntled in their futile attempts to gain against the Indians that they wound up by beating the ground with their helmets and banging the ball on the ground when they lost it on downs. Gilman had reasons to be a little peeved. There was the pass play in the third period that went sour. It looked like Gilman was a sure bet to score. They had the ball deep in Onarga territory. The ball was tossed in the air on a scoring effort. Dannehl intercepted the ball and ran eighty- five yards to a touchdown. He made the trip all the way up the side of the field and not a Gilman man was able to get near him so perfect was his in- terference. Just previous to this run by Dannehl, Kanosky had scored. He made his touchdown on a twenty-five yard pass from Lee. The score read Onarga 33, Gilman 0, at the end of the third period. Q Joe Kanosky put on a real show for the fans in the final period of play. He scored two touchdowns on passes. The first pass was tossed by Lee. It was a twenty-five yard effort. The attempt for the extra point didn't click. Gilman got possession of the ball and made several good gains. When Onarga came into possession of the ball, they were down in their own terri- tory. A fifteen yard penalty shoved them still deeper into their own territory. At this juncture of the game three cadets, supported by Louie Oster- bur, began to yell, give it to J oe. Onarga did exactly that. On the next play Dannehl heaved the pigskin forty yards. Joe took the ball on the run with a perfect catch and raced another twenty-five yards to the goal for the final score of the game. The extra point was made on a pass from Lee to Joe. The game ended shortly after with Onarga on the long end of the 46-0 count.

THE '44 ONARQUOIS Onarquois Have you ever worked and had a good time too? If you have you must have worked on the annual this year. We had a good time but we all worked hard. We had a healthy hard working group with Miss Smashey as our spon- sor at the beginning of the year. When she left Miss Suppes and Miss White took over. Some of the students came faithfully to the meetings. The staff editor this year was Doris McFadden following the footsteps of her sister. She saw to it that the write-ups were in and were correctly written. Bob Dannehl and Royal Krause were the boys who high pres- sured you into buying the annual. All of the staff made it possible for you to get the annual. This is the fifth Onarquois and again this year Mr. Craig is going to have the honors of the actual publication.

The purpose of this organization is to encourage every one to sing to their hearts content. Mrs. Taylor is the group's able director. A It seems that the boys are rather outnumbered as there are ten boys to thirty-five girls. Knowing the boys though, this matters little because the tenorsqare Well represented this year - the first year for some time. This handicap doesn't prevent the group from entering in the Vermilion Valley Contest and Festival for the first time in several years due to the lack of boys. Here's Wishing this new group complete success. BOYS' CHORUS Front Row: Carl Theesfeld, Neil Gray, Robert Hockersinith, Sponsor, Miss Nordell, Gleason Thorne, Sam Henegar, Jack Wright, John Kincade.

We ,, ,, i ,,, , ,,, , THE '44 ONARQUOIS Boys' Chorus The urge to express themselves in song manifested itself in a number of the boys in school last fall. Miss Nordell heeded their wishes and or- ganized a Boys, Chorus. They met for regular rehearsals and were doing quite Well. Miss Nordell left the school in February and the new music instructor saw a splendid opportunity for a mixed chorus. The boys had so many things to do that they could not rehearse with groups. They decided to drop their chorus activities and confine their efforts to the mixed group. This plan worked out quite well and the mixed chorus made a number of well-received appearances after the mixed group began singing. The boys are still hoping that they can have their own chorus and will try again in more favorable times to prove their worth as singers. The present group will always be proud of the fact that they had the courage to make the initial effort. G. A. A.

THE '44 ONARQUOIS G. A. A. Girls Athletic Association, better known as the G. A. A., under the lead- ership of Eilene Neal, Presidentg Leah McQueen, Secretary, and Peggy Up- hoff, Point Secretary, consists of 36 girls. Through the school year '43 and '44 they have sponsored several activ- ities including the annual Basketball dance, Valentine dance, and co-spon- sored the Mother and Daughters' Tea with the Home Ec. Club. All of these were advertised as striking successesg so who are We to differ in opinion? The yearly initiation took place on January 26, 1944, with five innocent freshmen as victims. They were tortured until they were considered help- less. Then they took the oath to G. A. A. in a candle light service. After- ward a social hour was enjoyed by everyone. A girl must have a certain amount of extra curicular points to be able to get an award from the state association. Points are given for work in regular gym classes, participation in the noon intramural, which were held twice a week, attendance at regular club meetings, and for keeping train- ing rules. The purpose of G. A. A. is the encouragement of good sportsmanship and friendship among the girls of O. T. H. S.

THE '44 ONARQUOIS Marys Ankleu National Troupe No. 278 presented their annual play on the night of April 4, 1944, at eight o'clock. The title of the play was Mary's Ankle , a three act comedy. The play set around the mishaps of three young men and a rich old uncle who controlled the purse strings, was further compli- cated by the love affair of Doc and Mary. The play was a real success and was attended by a large audience who enjoyed it very much.

THE '44 ONARQUOIS Home Economies Club The Home Ec. club under the sponsorship of Miss Suppes had their first meeting in September. The electicn of officers to lead us through the year was our first main step. They were: President, Blanche Lindsayg Vice- President, Iris Keeverg Secretary, Veda Mae Ebert, and Treasurer, Leah Mc- Queen, and Ann Hahne received the job of reporter. After we had cvcrJ thiiig very well in hand the Home Ee. Club spon- sored a banquet and dance, the first one of the year in honor of our unde- feated football team. The girls put forth a lot of work but they enjoyed every minute of it. Christmas d.dn't find the girls idle but quite the contrary. They went Christmas caroling and contributed to the National Charity fund for girls in foreign lands. Besides giving a tea, education week the club also sent two girls to club camp at East Bay, Bloomington. The girls chosen to represent us were Claudia Ludwick and Phyllis Morgan, unable to attend, the club sent in their place Mary Dannehl, and Beverly Russell. The girls had a very en- joyable time and brought back many new and interesting ideas for the club. On March 17, the G. A. A. and Home Ec. girls gave a St. Patrick's day tea for their mothers. This was planned and carried out by the girls and they are proud of their big success. Formal initiation - of all new members came in the last of March, after each initiate had proven herself eligible of membership, Despite the handicap of rationing, the Home Ec. Club has done very well and are plan- ning a bigger and better year to come. THE '44 ONARQUOIS Curricular or School and Scholarship The first day of school and a Freshman enters the Halls of Knowledge. This is what meets his eye. He enters the south door, stumbles up the stairs, and enters the assembly. Meekly he walks across the study hall, stares at the upper classmen and teachers, and slides into his seat. Bells ring and the assembly becomes a mad house as scholars hurry to their class- rooms. First hour was Latin and they wandered in room 16 and found Mrs. Hoger sitting at the desk to guide them through the year. Next door sat the Juniors and Seniors attending Advanced Mathematics, which is in- structed by Mr. Reed. Now we take you to the office where we find Mr. Goodwin and most of the upperclassmen advising him on how to run the school for the rest of the year. Then comes the commerce rooms, with Mr. Baker dictating shorthand. In the next room sits the students at extra typing. We wander up the next flight of stairs and find Mrs. Taylor in charge of a studious body of pupils in Assembly. Traveling on to the upper hall, queer sounds are issuing from room 21. When we enter we see Miss White in conversation in Spanish with her students. In this room she also teaches history, Civics and sociology. Traveling on down the hall we hear strange sounds which resemble music. We find Mr. Fehr in the act of teaching a student how to play an instrument. As we are listening to the great music we hear an explosion next door. As the smoke clears we come to the room of loud explosions, strange smells and weird students. Here we find Mr. Seaney, and his chemistry, biology, and general science students. The biology students are in the act of disecting a snake, while the chemistry students are mixing another ex- plosion. The general science students are reading lessons on levers and fulcrums. Down on the bottom floor we find Miss Suppes educating the girls in the art of running a home. Here the fellows sample the delicious meals and pick the girl who cooks their favorite dish well. Next we see the great gymnasium where we dream of the great day when we receive our diplomas. The ringing of three bells bringing us back to the present and study hall where the Seniors remind us, in the customary way, that we are still Freshmen. THE '44 ONARQUOIS I-lumor During the past few weeks as we drifted here and there gabbing with 4-f's, women, and children, we humor editors picked up a few gags which we decided were funny. Hope you agree with us. + + + Charles D. Saxon, Diane Keedwell, and Albert Delacorte. + + + We heard this one for no reason that we could figure out, at a drug store in Gilman, Illinois. It must have taken some time for a joke to get to Gilman, so maybe you have heard it already. Itls about the English gen- tleman whose wife had died suddenly. His friends were very sorry to hear it, and tried to offer consolations to the bereaved widower. One approached him in the club and remarked, I'm sorry to hear about your wife. What's that?l' said the old boy. 'Tm sorry to hear about your wife. What about her? Somewhat embarrassed the friend explained, I heard you buried your wife yesterday. Had to, was the prompt reply, dead you know. + + 4' Two out-of-towners climber on a Fifth Avenue bus, and decided to sit on the upper deck. They went gingerly up the narrow stairway and ap- parently sat down. Suddenly they came clattering down, eyes wide with fright. The conductor inquired, What's mathe matter--no seats? No seats! screamed the out-of-towners, Hplenty of seats, but it's too dangerous up there. No driver! + + + Two soldiers were sitting in a hash joint near Ft. Dix, tells a nosey friends of ours, when one requested the temporary loan of ten iron men 'til pay day. Sure , sadi the other, counting the money. As they got up to leave, the second soldier spoke again. Remember, Rocco, he said, this is only 'til pay day. The borrower turned a vivid scarlet. You'll get your money! he screamed. Stop hounding me! + + + Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, drinking his afternoon beer, he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum, and said, What is this doing here? + + + A sheriff levied household furniture as follows: One dining room table, six dining room chairs, one mahogany side-board, one decanter whisky, full. Five minutes later he struck out the word full and add one re- volving doormatf' + + + The moon was yellow, the lane was bright, as he turned to me, in the Autumn night, and every gesture and every glance, gave a hint that he craved romance. I stammered and stuttered and time went by. The moon was yellow and so was I. THE '44 ONARQUOIS Seven ages of a woman: The infant, the little girl, the miss, the young woman, the young woman, the young woman, the young woman. + + + Mary had a basketball man, who was her favorite beau. And every- where that Mary went, her man was sure to go. He followed her to class one day, which was against the rule. It surely made them laugh to see a basketball man at school. + + + Late to bed, early to rise, makes a man saggy, draggy, and baggy under the eyes. + + + Waiter: How did you find your steak, sir? Diner: It was just luck, I happened to move that piece of potato and there it was! + + + I would like some alligator shoesf' What size does your alligator wear?', + + 4 A fancy weman hired a man to act as butler at an affair planned to put her on the upper crust. Everything had to be just so-Emily Post style. Now, Abcrcrcmbief' she said to the man, I want you to announce all the people who arrlvc. You know the procedure, of course, Abercrombie? Of course, said Abercrombie. In the interval before the guests arrived Abercrombie decided to test the punch, and the more he tested, the better he liked it. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Up to the door he rushed and with as much composure as he could muster, ushered in Mr. and Mrs. Nickols with their three children. Mr, and Mrs., announced Abercrombie, Hand fifteen cents. + + + Did you hear the one about the deaf lady who entered the church with an ear trumpet? You did? Well, she sat down and as she was settling her- self an usher tiptoed over and whispered, Listen, madam, on toot and out you go! + + + And we couldn't leave out the little moron who- -thought he was strategic, because when he ran out of ammunition he kept on shooting. , -saved all the money he would have spent on beer and spent it on beer. -searched all the cook books so hefd know how to cook craps after he shot them. + + + THE CARE AND FEEDING OF PARENTS One will find that parents are essential to the modern, well balanced home. Make the most of them. Try to fit them into your everyday life so THE '44 ONARQUOIS that they will grow to feel themselves a part of the household. This can be done in a nice, wholesome way, but we do not recommend it. Mothers between the ages of twenty and sixty have a tendency to lie to their children. If this is not corrected they are apt to grow up to be liars. Candy is bad for the teeth of the growing parent. Keep temptation out of their way by eating it yourself. The question of how many feedings a day are necessary for the proper growth, depends upon the inccme. If father xehibits signs of colic fdou- bling up, screaming, getting blue in the facej don't be too alarmed. It sim- ply means his formula should be changed. A dash of bitters sometimes makes all the difference in the world. If you should happen to see Father kiss your governess do not be a sap and run and tell Mama. A wise child waits until he wants a bicycle or something and then makes a deal with the old man. This game is called BLACKMAIL BUFF, and can be played with any number of people, but you must keep your eyes open and your ears to the keyhole. On Motherts Day refrain from kicking your mother in the shins. Re- member, she is your mother. Do not throw spitballs at father on Father's Day. A male parent has to be humored. When he gets all dressed up as Santa Claus, let him think you don't recognize him. lt doesn't hurt you, and definitely helps develop his poise and self assurance. Also let him think he bought the electric train just for you. Take your mother to the zoo so she can learn about life, and NEVER mind these children's kindergarten classes where you are exposed to the dangers of progressive education. And when your father tries to tell your school teacher what a clever person you are and how much you take after his side of the family, the only correct answer is, Oh, yeah? + + + Here are some suspects of a vagrancy charge. We only know their first and middle names. Can you help us by finding their last names?

These honors are available to all students. One hundred and twenty-five service points determined by activity participation, school attendance, and schol- arship to a student who has maintained a point average of 4.00 or a straight A average means that he is entitled to a Gold Omega as an award. The same number of service points is basic to all local awards. With a scholar- ship average of 3.75 or a three A and one B average, a Silver Omega is pre- sented. If the student has an average of 2 A's and 2 B's, he has an average of 3.50 and a Bronze Omega. A 3.25 average is equivalent to 3 B's and 1 A throughout the year and the award is a Silver Omicron while a straight B average or a 3.00 average, with the necessary 125 services points, receives the Bronze Omicron.

SERVICE POINT RECORDS OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS In order to promote the interest of every student in a well-rounded high school experience for himself or herself, we are publishing a list of the service points earned by each student during the year. The entire service point set-up is devised to enable students to use their talents through activ- ities. It is also designed to encourage sudents to discover their hidden talents and powers. It is further devised to promote worthwhile accom- plishments such as good scholarship. Necessarily, we discourage certain bad procedures in high school. Skip- ping school comes under that heading. We have added 100 to the number of points each student has earned. We have deducted 25 points from a student's total if he or she has skipped school this year. M. E. Goodwin.
