SENIOR CLASS TRIP Twenty members of the Senior class of Onarga High School left at 6:30 o’clock Friday morning. May 31, 1957. The group arrived at their destination at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon. Some of them enjoyed a hike while others chose to swim for a couple of hours. In the evening, many of the group took a hike around the park to get acquainted with their surroundings. Saturday morning swimming, golfing, water skiing, and hiking served for entertainment. Rain spoiled a planned cruise of the lake that afternoon. Movies at Daducah were enjoyed Saturday evening. The rain kept the group indoors all evening and cards took the place of planned hikes around the lake. Several of the class faced a continuing rain on Sunday morning to attend Church services. The afternoon was bright and a tour of the dam, watching a barge go through the locks, and a visit to the power plant served for entertainment. The Kentucky dam is a part of the T.V.A. program. You guessed it! Monday morning it was still raining. The Seniors rose languidly, packed leisurely, and were ready for the homeward trip at 11:30. They stopped to visit Norris City and Mattoon on the return journey. The group arrived home at 7:30 Monday evening. They brought as souvenirs, colds, bruises, sunburns, sore noses, but they made it back. Although they may complain about the weather, they will never forget the fun they had. All in all, everyone who made the trip had a good time. The trip was made on a Poskin Chartered bus. Mr. Poskins and Miss Joan Zirkle were sponsors for the trip.

Buswell Hollywood, California May —, 1967 Squire CXientin Cultra Cultra Ranch Cultraville, Australia Dear Quen, I certainly enjoyed my stay last month at your 750,000 acre sheep ranch with its 300 oil wells. There was just one drawback, I just couldn't get used to diving into that swimming pool filled with money. Well, now I know why they call you “Scrooge. As for myself, I just finished my latest picture with Natalie Wood. It's called “Alone In The Desert. Of course I had Natalie to keep me company, but you don't know the tremendous strain you go through. Speaking of strains, I just happened to be in the old home town a couple of days ago. You'd be surprised. Oiarga has changed hardly at all. I stopped in at the old high school, and I saw Mr. Jones, who's still Principal and head of the Science Department. Mr. Jones was in the process of giving IQ Tests to the Seniors. You remember the IQ Tests, don't you Quen? I used to think IQ stood for Idiot Questions. Anyway, you’ll never guess who Mr. Jones's chief assistant in the electronics field is. Why it’s good ole “Charger Erwin. I understand Duane was responsible for the wire tapping of the boys restrooms to put a halt to the wastepaper-basket gang. On the way out, I met Mrs. “Butch Johnson, head of the Commerce Department. I can't understand how Nancy can teach school and raise ten kids at the same time. After leaving the school, I happened to bump into Ernie Wright, and I mean bump into. Ernie came careening out of a corner and ran into me. After I came to, Ernie and I had a nice polite conversation about the weather, and then we went down to Durham Park where we beheld Wright's Drag Strip. Ernie was in a hurry to get there because he was slated to drive against Robert “Rex Patterson. Rex was just back from Africa where he and JohnZirkle and Larry “Al Balding had conducted their latest Safari. Next year the Rover Boys plan to cross the Amazon Jungle by dog sled. They always did do things the hard way. After the race, I talked to Ernie's chief mechanic, Tom “Greasy Thumb Weakley. Tom’s one of the best mechanics in the business, and you know he'd have to be to put a car together after Wright gets through with it. Tom’s wife, Diana, was at “Greasy Thumb’s greasy elbow handing him tools. After that, Rex, Ernie, and I drove over a block south to Bill Reed’s Marathon Station. We saw Onarga’s Famous Story-Teller propped up in a chair chewing the fat with Don Crist, “The Gentleman Farmer of RidgeviHe. As usual. Bill was expounding on the subject, “Why The Cubs Will Win The Pennant This Year. We asked Don about his old side-kick, Larry Wulff. He said that Larry had moved out to Arizona, where he now has a pig farm, and he has become Arizona State’s Champion Hog-Caller. Going into town, Ernie pointed out the old Mode Theatre, now a spacious block long Burlesque Palace owned and operated by Barbara Fisher and Maxine Gercken. They say the popcorn there is the best in the Middle West. Ernie tells me there was quite a merger a couple of years ago when Larry finally popped the question to Ardis, now they own the only place in town where you can get a prescription filled and have your pants pressed at the same time. While we were uptown, we met Mrs. Larry Leonard, who was shopping. She told me that Little Larry Jr. was six years old now. Barbara also told us that Ruth Virkus was now quite famous for solving the Grimes case for the FBI, and that she was being considered to replace J. Edgar Hoover next year. We stopped in at Schmidt’s Hast House for coffee, and we saw our old classmate, Ellen. Ellen was voted Miss Soup Slinger of 1965, a worthy honor for one of our distinguished classmates. Marge Weakley and Mary Crist joined the Navy; the recruiters tried to tell them it was for men only, but the girls were very insistent. The Navy says that they’re never had it so good!!! Well, Quen, I have to get back to the ole grind. My next picture is “Marooned On A Desert Island,” co-starring Jayne Mansfield. I really just have to take another vacation. This work is getting me down. Your old classmate. Dan “Always Leave Them Laughing” Norvell MEMORY LANE In September, 1953, twenty-three wide-eyed little Freshmen entered the halls of Qiarga High. Having been tempted, tried, and true, they somehow reached the close of their Senior year. Let’s wander back through Memory Lane and review their activities. During their Freshman year, they were entertained by the Sophomores at the Freshman-Sophomore Reception. They were officially welcomed by the Seniors at an informal initiation and managed to survive. Dan Norvell was the president. He was assisted by Quen Cultra, vice-president; Ruth Virkus, secretary; and, Barbara Fisher, treasurer. Barbara Swearingen presented their troubles at the Student Council meetings. They decorated the gym for the Homecoming Dance, where Barbara Swearingen and Quen Cultra were their candidates for Queen and King. For their one big party, they had a scavenger hunt. To make money, they sponsored bake sales and collected dues. They enjoyed putting on their Little Artie skit for the Korn Bawl. The Freshman class was represented in all sports in addition to music events, plays, and honor roll. Class Sponsors were Miss Wright and Mr. Hoisington. Then having passed the tortures of their first year, the group moved on to their Sophomore year. They welcomed Patsy Koehn to the class and said, Good-bye to Andy Empey. So this still made twenty-three members in the class. The officers for that year were Quen Cultra, president; Bob Patterson, vice-president; Barbara Swearingen, secretary; and, Barbara Fisher, treasurer. They sent Nancy Natterstad to the Student Council meetings. They started out the year by entertaining the Freshmen at the Fresh man-Sophomore Reception. The Sophs had a Penny Supper, sold decals, had bake sales, picked up corn, and collected dues to make money. For their part in the Homecoming celebration, they made the dummy for the bonfire and decorated the football field. Barbara Swearingen and Bob Patterson were candidates for Queen and King. The girls won a contest by selling more decals than the boys, so the boys treated them to milk shakes. At the end of the year, Earl Betourne was picked to play for the 1956 Prom. Larry Salmon and Ruth Virkus assisted the Juniors at the 1955 Prom by pouring punch. The Sophomore girls served at the banquet. Dan Norvell and Larry Salmon attended Boys State that year. Class Sponsors were Mrs. Hite and Mr. Com-pagnoni. Leaving their underclass days behind, they trudged upward to their Junior year, but they still had a long way to go. Ellen Schmidt joined their class that year, but Pat Koehn and Janice Hendricks left, leaving a class of twenty-two. Their officers were Barbara Swearingen, president; Ernie Wright, vice-president; Barbara Fisher, secretary; Nancy Natterstad, treasurer; and. Marjorie Weakley attended the Student Council meetings as their representative. This was their busiest year, and they handled all their activities very nicely. That fall they ordered their class rings and received them about the first of March. Some of them took part in the Thespian Play. Then came Homecoming. That year they had charge of the decoration of the thrones and the crowns. Barbara Swearingen and Bob Patterson were the Queen and King candidates. In February, they sponsored a “Queen of Hearts” contest to add to the attraction of the FHA Sweetheart Ball. Barbara Fisher and Nancy Natterstad were their candidates. Nancy won the contest. For the Korn Bawl, they presented one of Dan NorvelTs original skits. The boys also gave a pantomime. CXi April 13, they put on their Junior play, “Room No. 13. Then it was time to start decorating for their Prom, “PINK CHAMPAGNE.” They will always remember the long hours spent in decorating. It was fun, but a lot of work. Some of them helped at the Senior commencement by acting as marshalls and ushers. To make money that year, they had the concession stand, dues and queen contest. They were well represented the sports events that year with Nancy Natterstad and Barbara Fisher cheering them on. Several of them won firsts in music and speech. Ardis Harshbarger was Girls' State representative with Barbara Fisher as alternate. Bob Patterson attended Boys State. Class Sponsors for that year were Mrs. Callaway and Mr. Reed. At last, twenty-two students reached the top of the hill by entering into their Senior year. Many of them became the leaders of all the school organizations, but the FHA. The following held the presidency in clubs: Larry Salmon, Chorus; Larry Balding, Pep Club; Don Crist, FFA; Ernie Wright, Student Council; Barbara Swearingen, Onarquois; Nancy Natterstad, Narghi News; Ellen Schmidt, Library Club; Ardis Harshbarger, GAA; Bob Patterson, OVK; Ruth Virkus, Student Librarians of East Central Illinois; and, Dan Norvell, Thespians. Their last class officers were: QuenCultra, president; Ernie Wright, vice-president; Barbara Swearingen, secretary; Barbara Fisher, treasurer; and, again Marjorie Weakley took the duty of Student Council Representative. Bob Patterson was elected by the school as Student Council member at large. To start the year, they gave the Freshmen and informal initiation (may the Frosh never forget III!). Then came the Homecoming, and they had charge of the publicity. Barbara Swearingon, and CXien Cultra were their candidates and were elected Queen and King. The boys helped to make the occasion a memorable one by beating Piper City in the Homecoming game 42-0. With the help of the Senior boys, the football team won its third straight Vermilion Valley conference championship. Nancy Natterstad was cheerleader that year. Barb Fisher was chosen Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year. Nancy Natterstad and Bob Patterson were elected DAR and SARwinners respectively. Barbara Swearingen was Girl Good Citizen. Marjorie Weakley and Ellen Schmidt were elected representatives from their class for Ground Observer CXieen. Dan Norvell was named Thespian of the Year. Tom Weakley won the FFA District Farm Mechanic Contest. Some of the members participated in the Thespian Play, music contests, and sports. To make money, they had the concession stand and cake raffles. The Senior class gave Mr. Frobish a booming business by having their pictures taken. A funny thing--they didn’t even break the camera I!!! For the Korn Bawl, the boys presented a pantomime. Then on May 18, the Junior classhonored them with the annual Junior-Senior Prom. A good time was had by all, and they will hold this as one of their fondest memories as the last fling before school ended. MEMORY LANE (Continued) Then on May 26, came Baccalaureate at the Presbyterian Church. Oi May 27, they went on picnics with their various organizations. Finally, on May 28, 1957, the moment they had waited for all those years came when they were graduated and became alumni of OHS. So that every one would have something to remember them by, the class of 57 chose the following as their symbols: Class flower - Maroon and White Carnations, Class colors - Maroon and White, Class motto - “We’ve got a long way to go.” Mrs. Krapf and Mr. Buswell were their last sponsors. From May 31 to June 3, they enjoyed their class trip at Gilbertsville. Kentucky. Joan Zirkle and Vincent Poskin accompanied them as chaperones. This class certainly was a memorable one. Their good grades (and bad), their behavior, temper, participation in activities, and etc. will long be remembered. They reached the top of the high school hill, separated, and went their separate ways. Some into marriage, some to college, some to work, and the rest? well, they just didn’t know for sure. All of them started climbing other hills, but they all remember their school days at OHS. You can be sure they never forget their other friends and teachers. The departed, leaving behind their memories, but hope to get together some day to renew them.

We danced to the music of A1 Pierson and his Orchestra from 9:00 to 12:00 P.M. The gym was decorated in red and white with a carousel at the end of the gym. The sides were decorated with clowns and seals. Refreshments of punch and candies were served. Those of us who attended this delightful prom will long remember this wonderful night.
