Janice Munson and Dale Hamm PHOTOGRAPHER PRINTER Hawkins Studio, Moline, Illinois Orion Times, Orion, Illinois In this book, the Oracle Staff of 1950 has used a different method of printing the photographs from that used in previous years. This method is to have the photog- rapher make as many pictures of each photograph as will be needed in all the Oracles. To make these photographs he will reprint them from the original one he took at school. The process used previously. was to have the original photograph engraved. After the en- graving was made, it was used to print the photographs for all the pictures in the Oracles. As you turn the pages, we hope the portrayal of the students and their activ- ities will bring fond remembrances of your days. The Staff appreciates the co-operation they have had from the Senior Class and others. VVe wish to express our thanks to Miss Munson and Mr. Hamm. our class sponsors, for the eifort and time they have given.

Studying English, struggling with math, Wonderiiig why they were in life's path- Science, Latin, and History, too- There always seemed to be something to do. It wasn't all work-don't misunderstand, There were other activities in demand. Baseball, basketball, football and track, All of us cheering our own red and black. Speaking of fun, there were parties galore, Dates and dancing and games by the score. Each of us joined a club or two, And tried for a part in the class play, too. Dreaming and planning for that evening in May When we'd go to the Prom, in gay array. Thinking and planning with hard calculating The Oracle to publish with Grade A rating.

John Walliiie, on vacation from my I-Iair Tonic From Sardine Oil factory, was thumbing through my scrap book. Vl'ith the the neighbors' newspapers and a few of my own. I attempted to bring it up to date The class of '50 of which I was a member had succeeded in scattering 3 Y b aid of them selves not only throughout the United States but the entire world. I had posted an arti cle concerning Miriam Anderson. president of our graduating class. Miriam is now work- ing as a missionary in Africa instructing the Ubangi natives in the art of applying lip- stick. Lois Magnuson's intelligence carried her out of the states completely. She is persuing her research of petrified rock at the Lf of Hong Kong. Schools in America weren't advanced enough in this study. I see by my scrapbook that He is the new captain of that great ship, Jerry Malmen is also going far in this Slow Iloat to China.

Now known as Matador Maggie , Nancy is a famed bulliighter in old Mexico. .Xlways handy with the needle. N311 cy sews her own outfits and red blankets. Une of my most recently posted articles concerned Robert Stephens. Mike is soon to leave on a whaling exiedition. From what I read Miken is invaluable as har- 6 poonist on the whaling vessel I had a clipping from a New York paper that carried an article about Artis Thompson who was lost at sea while following a map of space. Art', finally ran onto an undiscovered island where she sent an S.O.S. message back via sea gull. This sounds like just the place for a class reunion. island In the pictorial section of my own paper I was astounded to see pictures of Zora Miloradich in Careers for VVomen . She has now worked up to the position of forf- man at a fish factory that's main work is to cut the tails and heads off sardines. The work on my scrap book was interrupted as I recalled a luncheon date I had with Dick Nose for News Fullerton who is on the payroll of Corny Columns, one of the largest newspapers in the U. S. Upon meeting Dick we naturally. compared notes on whois where out of our class of '50, Being associated with newspapers, he also knew many celebrities among which were a few of our mutual friends. O Dick told me about Gordon Wakey whom he sees every morning on his way to work. Gordon is now persuing the paying profession of yodeling organ grinder in Central Park. Dick has just recently written an article about Gordon for the Reader's Digest which was published under the title of The Most Unforgettable Character l've Ever Met. Dick also told me about Marilyn Swanson who was pole-vault champ of the 1960 Olympics at Sweden. Swanny', piled up enough points with this and other events to place the U. S. second. Dick said that he sometimes runs into Barbara McLean who is now starred as johns Uther Wife in the day time serial. He saw her just recently at a dinner in honor of VVayne Kindelsperger, head scientist in the construction of the G-bomb. At this dinner, entertainment was provided by another celebrity and former Orion graduate, Shirley Peterson. Shirley is with Billy Rose's show featured with her trained Seals, Betty Robinson was among the screen stars at the event. Betty is a female Van john- son and currently starred in the Fading Rosef, soon to be seen at your local theater. lVhen l reached home in the late afternoon, l had a phone call from jackie Brown who runs the Tuity Fruity Eat Shoppe in Orion. She suggested a class reunion for this summer since she knew the whereabouts of a number of our classmates, as many of them had settled in and around Orion. Myron Naugle, for one, is the owner of Mad Man Myron's Lfsed Car Lot in Orion. Nearby Dick Nelson has a home shop where he paints monograms on pajamas while you wait. Paul -Xnderson has found his fortune as auctioneer at the Rock lsland Mule Barn. Paul is undoubtedly making up for all the ime he spent in silence in O.C.H.S. just outside of Orion, jackie told me, is the 'fSmooth as Glass skating rink, owned and operated by Bob Hill. After a rather unfortunate accident with his '65 Ply- mouth he has resolved that it is safer to move on skates. , liverett Swanson, it seems, has turned from farming to something a little lighter. lle is now in the full time job as president of a large firm near Moline which is manufacturing shoe laces. jackie told me that Elaine Seabloom comes into her Shoppe every noon. Blaine is quite a little businesswoman as foreman in a coverall factory in the now flourish- ing metropolis of Orion. Near her factory, Ardis Carlson has a large home complete with playgrounds where she cares for the children of the women factory workers. Ardiey' owes laer thriving business to Elaine and coveralls. Evidently jim Dahl didn't get away from home. His hog-raising farm has been converted into a chicken ranch where he spends all his time in raising wingless chickens. Near Orion you will find a former athlete of O.C.ll.S.. Carl Lee Larson. He is head engineer in the construction ofa huge new toll bridge over Camp Creek, a favorite camping spot of the Boy Scouts. ' v The next day I was roused at 11:00 A. M. by the ringing of my telephone. Guess who? I was shocked to discover that the voice on the other end of the wire belonged to Charles Serres. Chuck just flew in from the VVest where he had been visiting George King, who is quite a wrangler out that way and better known in those parts as Saddle llags King. I asked Chuck to have dinner with me that evening. That evening l met l'Chuck down town and drove him to a very fashionable night club named -Ion Brodd's Easy Dollar Nite Club. Our congenial host was also a former Orion grad. and together we three talked of Chuck's trip. It seems that Chuck flew himself over the countryside in a lf Drive Itw plane from a 'IU Drive It Airlines for which jean Lindgren is a competent secretary. On his way to New York f'Chuck said he saw several blimps Hoating around with Burma Shave, signs painted on the sides, This was undoubtedly the work of Duane Sassen who is affiliated with this large firm. jon told us that Marilyn Hogren was working for him as a cigarette girl. We didn't get to see her as it was after eleven then and Marilyn can't be out after that time. Jon had three other of our former classmates in his employ. The floor show was com- prised of two features. The First was johnson and johnson, jugglers. Ronald johnson is the second johnson on this team and VVillard johnson the first. The highlight of the evening featured Aleene McI.eese as arialist. After the show these three joined us and we talked about old times at Orion lligh. .Xleene said that she had read that Hill Lindquist. after a year with the Chicago Iiears and the Quad-City Illackhawks. had decided to run his father's drugstore in Orion. After a very profitable and enjoyable evening, I returned home tired but happy. I went to bed thinking of my house guest that was arriving tomorrow and how I should en- tertain such a celebrity. ZS 5 My house guest was Rodney .'Xnderson. Rodney is now the new sensational singing star over C.I3.S. His professional name is Rod .-Xnders. Rodls sponsor is Vaseline Hair Tonic for which my good friend, lildon Vyhiteside, is a model. Nobody is aware of this, but VVhitey,' uses my sardine oil for his patent leather shine. Rod told me that just the other day a flash interrupted his program that told about Doris Dusenberry capturing the notorious Pick Pocket Pete . She is a policewoman in Chicago. Rod also gave me information as to the last two people in our class of '5O. It seems that Sylvia Tomlinson is on the program following Rod's. She works for a bird seed company that has a program of singing canaries. Sylvia's job is to give the birds inspiration. Betty Kauzlarich was the only one unaccounted for and Rod told me that he had read in the Orion Times. which he has forwarded to him, that Kauz chucked all her men to work as a crane operator in the ore pits in Minnesota. VVith the names and addresses of the graduating class of 1950, I set about to plan a reunion of all forty-three. According to my plans, our next reunion is scheduled to take place in june of '65 on the island of Sandu.

The setting for last year's prom was f'Dutch Frolicf' and the theme was car- ried out even to the place cards. The main attraction in the way of decorations was the live- foot blue and white windmill in the above picture. This windmill was in the center of the floor surrounded by a white picket fence with crowds of gayly colored tulips peeping over the tops. Overhead was a galaxy of silver stars On a false sky of blue, which met side scenery of green and white. Archways were placed here and there brightened by tulips woven into the lattice work. Blue and white crepe paper streamers led to a large archway which was placed at the entrance. A delicious dinner, which had been prepared by the mothers of the juniors, was served to the guests who were seated at tables for six. Each table was centered with a mini- ature blue and white windmill and a pot of colorful tulips. VVaiters and waitresses were in Dutch costume. Recorded dinner music was played softly in the background.

VVe reorganized in September, 1950, with the same number of students. These Students and the Student Council sponsor, Mrs. Lola Rye, were elected by the student body.

Carol Schillinger These officers and other members were installed at the annual Christmas party. They all re- ceived Student Council pins. The projects which the Student Council has continued sponsoring since last year are the Old Clothes Day which is held once a month, the contest held during American Ed- ucation VVeek, when the class who has the largest percentage of parents that visit school that week gets a half holiday, the Christmas Party, and the freshman initiation. They have also installed another coke machine in the recreation room so that the entire student body now has access to two machines instead of only one. Some ofthe new projects completed by the Student Council this year are the making of handbooks which contain all the information needed by a student, revising the Student Council constitution, sponsoring a clean-up campaign, taking charge of the study hall before school, and sponsoring an assembly program once a month including movies and local talent. librarians This year we have seventeen librarians. Mrs. Lola Rye is the head librarian with the assistance of Nancy Roberts and Marilyn Hogren. The main project ofthe librarians has been the addition to our hction shelves. Over two hundred fiction books have been added to the library this year. Also we have been trying to make the library more efficient for the girls. A counter has been built across the front of the library, so that the librarian is the sole person in charge of the library. There is a librarian in charge every period of the day and before school for the convenience of the students. The librarians have also had charge of keeping our bulletin boards attractive. straw Vote Most cheerful w,.... Most athletic boy Most athletic girl .,,,. Most serious w,,,ll,.

The first appearance of this group took place in April, 1950, at Galesburg, Illinois, where the chorus competed in district competition. The chorus received a division H1 rating. This year. robes were purchased with the proceeds of various musical programs presented in the past. These robes are used jointly by the three choruses. On April 21, 1950, this group appeared in the spring music program presented at the high school. The mixed chorus is under the direction of Mr. Leland Meyer and is accompanied by Jean Lindgren. band At the beginning of this year the band held its practices in the school gym as they had in previous years. ln the first part of November we began having practices in the Maplehill school house which has been moved to a portion of the athletic held just east of the high school. This building has been redecorated for music purposes. The band mem- bers feel that the use of this building has made possible improvement in the practices. This year there are 24 high school students and 18 grade school students in the band. ,In the years to come Mr. Meyer hopes to have individual grade school and high school bands.

A strange and conglomerate mixture of people is thrown together when a fast train is derailed, and the passengers come inside to wait for a relief train. Among them are four peppy and attractive college girls on their way back to schoolg a young man studying law: an Italian woman and her childreng haughty Mrs. Vanderventerg an en- gaged couple: and old Silas Dobbins, the station attendant who is the best comedy part. lNhen Mrs. Vanderventer loses her expensive pearls. the nosy old maid, llliss l'idgie Mcllougal. linds them in the lunch basket of Mrs. Ciuarino. the ltalian woman. The young lawyer proves her innocence in a preliminary trial, and reveals the guilty party. The play was presented on the evening of November 10, 1949. The class was particularly pleased that a record crowd came to see it. Mrs. Fritz directed the play, with Dorothy Webb assisting. Joyce Brown and Bruce Blomquist furnished entertainment between the acts.

Etta Dean, a shy, awkward, motherless girl of iifte en, has been brought up so strictly by her grandmother that she is known to the high school wolf-pack as Little Miss Prune Pussu. Randy Pryor and lluzz Rafferty have a mutual ambition to become the greatest advertising men in the world. Poor Etta. when these two go-getters start proving their ability by mer- cliandizing her as The Divine Flora, is completely bewildered. As a result, they not only in- volve themselves but also their luckless parents and the equally unfortunate radio crooner, Tex Arlen. The Divine Flora was presented by the seniors on the evening of ,Xpril 14, 1950, and was heartily received by the large audience. Mrs. llernice Fritz was our capable director. with Aleene McLeese assisting her.

The members learned a great deal about photography as a business and as a hobby by talking to professional and amateur camera men and by visiting processing shops and photographic laboratories. They also learned through actual experience and through demonstration performed by Mr. Ring. They were free to bring films and develop themg then they could be enlarged and printed.
