Onarga Township High School - Onarquois Yearbook (Onarga, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1963 volume:

of princess ©narga The next morning, when the Sun God climbed above the mighty oaks, there was sadness in the camp of the Iroquois, for during the night the soul of Onarga, the Indian maiden, daughter of the great chief, had gone Northward in the Great Canoe to the Happy Hunting Grounds of the Iroquois, the land of Shawandossee, the home of the White Rabbit. Each year when the great fertile plains of the Iroquois are flooded with pale, shimmering light of the Harvest Moon, the Great Canoe floating on the billows of mist that overhang the rivers, and manned by the spirits of the Iroquois warriors, floats with the North Wind to the faraway hunting grounds from whence it came. There are some who claim to .have seen it passing in the night and in it the form of a beautiful Indian maiden, her left hand raised to Heaven with the Palm outward, the Indian sign of benediction and farewell. Each season the Harvest Moon shines between two mighty oaks where sleeps Onarga, the little Indian maiden, and on her grave in the still quiet of the night, the “Shadow things and all the moonlight things come out.' Under the great, great oaks, where twinkled the campfires of the Iroquois, there stands the Village of Onarga. Phone AM 8-7352 Ona rga, Illinois Routes 5 + kS Open 5 A.M. - ?

Well, to begin the year we start by having a magazine drive in which the entire student body and the community have an opportunity to help finance the book of the year. Next comes picture planning, picture taking, layouts, write ups, paste ups, themes, covers, liners, headaches, anxious moments, and finally it's June and we have just mailed the final pages. The ’63 Onarquois is now in the hands of the press and everyone waits anxiously for it's arrival sometime in October. Ready - Set - Go - Layouts! Lee’ B- _ ' chumacher, L Meyer jjorvell, L. Sumrall.

Mr. Merridew almost slicks Mrs. Berry out of her farm, because he thinks there’s oil on it. Aaron Slick, a country fellow, and Sis Riggs, a tomboy, come to the rescue. Aaron tricks Mr. Merri dew by pouring oil into a deserted spring, and Mrs. Berry does get a good price for the farm. Mrs. Berry goes to Chicago as shehadalways dreamed of doing. She discovers that the city is no place for her. She is pursued by Aaron and they return to Punkin Crick. Mr. Merridew is arrested in Chicago for a crooked deal he had pulled in Iowa.

The squad easily defeated the first five teams on their schedule. With strength in pole vaulting, hurdles, the high jump, the hundred yard dash, the discus, and the shot-put, they couldn't lose. This year's freshman members also added strength to the squad. Congratulations to each of you, fleet footed Indians! 3[lgutg Larry Talbert (Another one otoer tl]e 3fenc e?

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The appearance of Jane Gardner, an attractive, first year guidance counselor brings about many changes at Pembroke High. Problem teen-agers, the over-bearing Mrs. Donley, the principal Miss Entwhistle, Charlie Plunkett, the salty janitor, Mrs. Maggs, the cleaning lady, as well as Mrs. Gordon Warren, the extremely conservative student counselor all come under Miss Gardner's spell. In fact two romances, an apology, and a very happy ending were the result of several amusing incidents in this most entertaining Junior Class play presented by the following cast: Jane Gardner .

Cinderella-Rita Her Prince-Bill The traditional Prom banquet was held at the Methodist Church where Cinderella's storybook guest feasted. Later at the gym the frolicking guests were greeted by the ragged sisters of Cinderella and given their dance programs. They, then stepped into the Cinderella Fairyland with its glass slipper and bewitched clock. As the clock tolled eleven Cinderella, Rita Lee,and the Prince, Bill Price, were presented. The dancer’s gaiety hushed as the strains of music faded at midnight. But the memories of the Prom will linger on. H (Cinderella's ®al!
