Following the comic football game, umpired by Miss Sanders, Queen Mar- garet, preceded by her court, Was escorted down the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance. School Was dismissed early on Friday so homerooms could put the finishing touches on their floats for the parade which started at 2:00 P. M. An alum- ni banquet Was held in the cafeteria before the game. During the halftime show the queen and her court were again presented. The Pirates' victory made the evening dance even more enjoyable. 497549 Queen Margaret and Court DARLENE FRIESTAD, FRESHMAN ATTENDANT PAT MULINAZZI, SENIOR ATTIENDANT MARGARET FORMHALS, QUEEN GAIL WISE, JUNIOR ATTENDANT BARBARA KOPP, SOPHOMORE ATTENDANT Q 'fm 1.4 A 'A , E Nb. 7 Their Royal Highnesses, the home-coming queen and at- tendants.

Crumpton, the oldest living person to attend Ottawa High School before it was made a township high school, returned last fall for the alumni banquet. He was enrolled for one year in 1872, before transferring to another school. 4:57563 We pay tribute to Miss Eda Formhals, the only living member of the Ottawa Town- ship High School's first gradu- ating class of 1878, which con- sisted of eight girls. Miss Formhals is shown here recalling memories of '78, to Joyce Hamil, a '53 graduate. While reminiscing, Miss Form- hals, whose later career cen- tered about music, mentioned her playing of the piano while students passed from one class to another. Her graduation speech was titled A View from the Odd Side , which, she said, was a somewhat deeper subject than would be used today.

Of all seventy-five graduating classes, you, in all probability, face the great- est challenge presented to any class. Your world is now grown to include heretofore unimaginable problems in the relations of man to man, in the relations of man to science and indus- try, and in the relation of man to his God. Inherent in this challenge, how- ever, is opportunity, opportunity to do a better job than has ever been done in government, in science and industry, in the professions, in reli- gion-in all phases of life. As you join the OHS Alumni who have made our fame and reputation by their work, may you always be loyal to the ideals of service to your fellows which have distinguished the lives of so many of our graduates. Good luck. Come back to visit, and as you said in your fine senior assembly- May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You . lil QM!! Board of Education DR. CLIFFORD CARTER MR. ERNEST POOL MR. DAN RIORDAN MR.

This formal has been held an- nually since 1935 and is the highlight of the year for the cadets. ln the last few years the ball, traditionally a spring formal, was changed to the evening before Thanks- giving vacation. To provide the romantic mood a name band makes with the music and the boys work hard making the false ceiling and decorations. Last fall's formal was a gala affair and one of the largest ever, with Johnny Kaye's band and a pat- riotic theme. This formal more than any of the others during the school year seems to carry on the tradition of soft lights, swirling colors and a wonderful time.

With the melting of the snow the Pirates traveled to Naper- ville on March 20. B-r-r-r it was cold. The Pirates placed fifth in the meet and let the state know that they were a team to watch. Roger Severson set a new school record of 22 feet 7 inches in the broad jump. With the first of April the Pirates invaded the Urbana-Open and walked off with second place behind the home team. Again Roger smashed a record by finishing the 220-yard dash in :22.2 seconds. Jim McGill also claimed a first with his :53.5 in the 440-yard dash and Milt QI-Ieavyj Formhals threw the discus 133 feet 6 inches. The mile relay team also captured a first place. After these two meets and the Oak Park Relays the Bucs began their regular season. On April 8 the Thin Clads walloped Pontiac 93 to 25 in a dual meet. On April 11, Ottawa Township High School held its first invita- tional track meet and as expected the Pirates walked off with first place to remain in their undefeated status. Going along as smooth as you please the Pirate Varsity won many dual and triangu- lar meets and went into the district with a fine chance of many of the team advancing to the state finals. Again the Pirates came through with a championship. Don Roesler placed second in the shot put, Keith Rorem ran a :52.3 quarter mile, Wayne Bower and Mike Formhals finished first and second in the discus, Jim Renwick and Wayne Aicher tied for first in the high jump, Dick Ship- man took the low hurdles, the 880-yard relay team finished second, and Severson came in second in the 100-yard dash, but. Roger, suffering a pulled muscle, failed to qualify in the 220. Finishing first, as usual, the Bucs gained the Illinois Valley championship, and as this. book goes to press the Pirates are unde- feated in a regular season meet.

L , V Intramurals Gain Prestige Under the capable direction of General Robert McKay, the OTHS intramural program has grown to the point where it is considered to be a definite part of OHS activities. This year over 85 per cent of the boys in school participated. The program is well rounded with varying sports for the different seasons and weather conditions. Starting in the fall, touch football was the main activity with cross- country Cthat breath-taking eventl as a sideline. With the cold weather approaching, the boys moved inside where they participated in basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and tug-of-war. The main feature of the winter months was the I.M. swim meet. When the snow melted, the boys again ran outside to compete in the track and field meets. Horseshoes were also pitched and a real competitive spirit was aroused in the softball tourna- ment. The last l.lVI. event of the season is the competitive review with all platoons and the Drum Corps partici- pating. As in many of the past years, as is the case this year, the champion- ship for all competitions will be de- cided in the review. One of the non- competitive contests is scholarship with the average of all the boys' grades being considered. The team with the highest average also wins 7 5 points. The points for winning are 75, 45, 25, 15 for first, second, third, fourth, respectively. Ottawa is the only school in the state which has a dual program for I.M. The freshmen and sophomores have one league, and the juniors and seniors have another. This serves two purposes: one, to allow boys to com- pete against boys of their own capac- ityg second, to give the younger fel- lows a chance to participate. The OHS intramural program is one of the few schools in which the band participates. Along with the band are nine other teams. Each pla- toon has a team: AI, AII, BI, etc., and the Drum Corps. As was mentioned before, the com- petitive review is a key event during the school year. This year, being our Top leftf-DH, fresh-soph tug-0- war champions: Lloyd Lock, Vernis Stanford, Barney Erick- son, Dale Sang, Wendel Cofoid, Ronnie Swingcn, Jim Waring, Don Hetzner, Joe Bayer, Bob Kruger, Harry Laatz, Don Lewis, Mick Jeffries.

Also on the reviewing stand will be members of all the branches of our armed forces. The intramural program is impor- tant for three reasons: first, to teach the boys good sportsmanship and a good competitive spirit, second, to provide recreation for the boys who are not athletes, third, to spot pros- pective athletes. Only with the boys' co-operation and good leadership will this program succeed in its purposes. Twp lvft DI,swimmin,f1 champs: Pvtx- lliiibm-, Guns Hrmeymun, Jim lionwivli, Guwgre Schlink.

The Council spon- sors the Home-coming day programs, drives and all informal dances, plans assembly programs, runs the coke bar and in general promotes student participation in the life of the school. It is an honor to belong to the Civic Council. Students take pride in help- ing to carry out successful school ac- tivities and projects. Above: Civic Council members of the first semester at a regular meeting in the Green Room. Left: Second semester leaders are shown. Mr. T. O. Zimmerman, fac- ulty adviserg Charles Shepherd, vice chair- man, Donna Rising, secretaryg and Mike Formhals, chairman. During the iirst few years the coun- cil, organized by Merle Burke in 1940, was composed of representatives from the various school clubs. Present day members selected from the home- rooms, serve for one year. OHS has regularly sent represent- atives to the state-Wide conference each Spring. This year's delegates included Mr. Zimmerman, Bob Strick- land, Jack Armstrong and Nancy Peterson.

A Cappella Choir Completes First Year In conjunction with the Band, the newly formed a cappella choir under the direction of B. J. Muus, presented the First Annual OHS Christmas Concert and Easter Pro- gram. The Choir also attended the NCIC Festival at Sterling and journeyed to Orchestra Hall in Chicago to hear St. Olaf's Choir's Lenten concert tour. Both mixed and girls' a cappella choir re- ceived an excellent rating at the state con- tests held at Bradley University, May 2. Singing a few selections at the OHS Band Concert, May 14, concluded the Chorus' activities during the school year. The Madrigal singers, a chosen group of ten, were featured at both concerts, and entertained at numerous church programs and civic organizations. A rating of excel- lent was received by the ensemble at the District Music Contest at Toulon, this spring. -Q2 75 wer Getting a jump on the regular school year, the OHS band won a Superior rating in class A competition at the Illinois State Fair, copped a S200 cash award and a trophy in the La Salle centennial contest, and pre- sented a concert on King Field as a wind up of its summer program. Highlighting its 48 public performances were the first annual Christmas and Easter programs and the band concert, all given With the co-operation of the school choir. And this fine group will be kept busy right up to the very end of festivities. The famil- iar strains of 'tPomp and Circumstance will float over King Field June 5 at graduation exercisesg the big Diamond Jubilee celebra- tion of June 6 is another band date. Under the direction of Raymond Makee- ver, this musical aggregation has gained much credit and distinction for itself and for the school. Certainly its contribution to the outstanding athletic successes this year has been noteworthy. Fans at six football games enjoyed the music and drills of this bandg the musicians appeared 21 times in connection with basketball. What is a parade without snappy band music? During the regular year, the OHS group marched for the Community Chestg in the college Homecoming at DeKalbg at our own Diamond Jubilee Homecomingg in the Utica Centennial, in a Halloween observ- anceg in the Memorial Day paradeg and it will no doubt head the procession for the gigantic Ottawa Centennial planned for July. The band appeared in the North Central Music Festival, and it Won an excellent rat- ing in the recent IHSA state meet in Peoria.

HARRY KELLY Attention! This is the familiar command echoing throughout Kingman Gymnasium every Thursday as members of the Ottawa Cadet Corps are put through their paces. A part of the physical education set-up, the regiment is divided into two battalions which are in turn subdivided into companies down to platoons. Cadets drill one hour a week in uniform, practicing infantry drill, School of the Soldier, and other military procedures. In addition to drill, cadet officers, selected on merit, usher at all school programs, serve banquets and assist Instructor Robert R. McKay with the Annual Military Review. 1 9 Awards in the latter event go to the pla toon presenting the best drill, and individual best dressed awards are given at the con- clusion of each semester. In conjunction with the cadet program, the Drum and Bugle Corps under the direc- tion of Raymond Makeover, practice fancy drills and lead the corps on parade. Established in 1916, the OHS group is the oldest military outfit of its kind in the na- tion. The active intramural program is based upon competition among the various platoons.

Why, its the juniors, of course, selling pop to quench their thirst at basketball games as their main pro- ject. They also sold Christmas cards. Planning and decorating for the Prom was their biggest project of the year. For a get-together this year they had a picnic at Buffalo Rock. A junior executive board Was form- ed to help the class officers in planning the Prom and potluck. One student from each junior homeroom was elected for this.

Assisting her as homeroom teachers Were: Misses Marguerite Laugman, Marguerite Hempen, Mildred Morgan, Marjorie Huff, and Arlene Steinertg Messrs. Roy Bohannon, Robert Krabel, and William Novak. A confident group of sophomores returned to the familiar halls a year late1'. We made profits on Christmas cards and enjoyed ourselves at a potluck in the spring. Enter- taining the '52 seniors, we, in our new role as upperelassmen, staged the prom in the beautiful White ballroom on that colorful evening of May 29, 1952. Suddenly, last fall, We were confronted with our senior year, the last mile. Left: Nancy Warren and Shirley Anweiler peddle popcorn.
