Ottawa High ... a picture of scenic beauty on the Illinois and Fox rivers. Two brick buildings surrounded by an athletic field, a spacious parking lot and agricul¬ tural plots. Yet, the campus, itself, is not the only photographic feature of Ot¬ tawa Township High School. Per¬ haps far more photogenic — and certainly more often photographed — are the students of OTHS. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors . . . boys, girls . . . these are the real pictures at OTHS. So, too, are the activities taking place here. Sports clashes, music concerts, Senior English plays, pep rallies, Home-coming, formals, square dances, intramurals, club meetings and parties, fashion shows, class elections -— these are but a few of the things recorded each year by the OTHS photo¬ graphic crew. Also, we record the activities in the classroom — the sewing ses¬ sions, the discussions in sociology, the biology dissections, the chem¬ istry experiments, the language exerci ses, the diagraming of sen¬ tences, the revising of themes, the typing and shorthand drills, the music practices, the shop projects, the mastering of historical infor¬ mation, etc. Thus, the 1959 Senior is a pic¬ torial record of the 1,000 plus stu¬ dents at OTHS and the things that they did . . . your photographic memory of the 1958-59 school year. We, the Seniors of 1959, dedicate this book to the “best teachers” we’ve had through the years . . . our parents. The guidance they have given, the patience they have shown, and the love they have ex¬ pressed toward us can never be completely repaid. Their teachings will never be forgot¬ ten. Their hopes and dreams are mirrored in us and are a part of us even as we are a part of them. Their tenderness, their kindness, and their sympathy, we cherish; their moral firm¬ ness, their integrity, and their righteousness we admire; their corrections, their admonish¬ ments, and their occasional restrictions we un¬ derstand, though we may not immediately show our appreciation. The debt we owe them for the many bles¬ sings they have given us can only be paid through our future accomplishments, as trib¬ utes to them. Whatever we do that is of merit in the coming years will stand as symbols of the good embodied in us by our parents. They have carried us over troubled times while others knocked us down, tended us through sickness while others left us behind, believed in us while all others doubted and stood by us while others turned away. With love and appreciation, we dedicate this ’59 Senior to our parents. HELPING HANDS—These are used daily by our parents as they do the things that bring favorable answers to these questions: Dad, may I have some spending money? Mom, is my skirt ready? Dad, is the car mine tonight? Mom, can you get this zipper to work? Mom, is my lunch packed? 4 L.

With the spotlight playing over the audience, Janet Rabenstein, mistress of ceremonies, opened the Home-coming assembly “It Could Be You”. After Shirley Knoedler and Carol Alms had called the squad to the stage, the spotlight settled on Coach Novak. Mr. No¬ vak, in an interview, revealed that, after winning a game, the Pirate squad gets into a circle, and jump up and down, yelling “Goody, goody Gumdrops”. Judy McKendrick, dressed as a snake charmer, brought forth the sponsor’s pro¬ duct, Pep. GOODY, GOODY, gumdrop! Coach Bill Novak explains the varsity’s special cheer to Janet Rabenstein of Pep Squad.

Poseidon Ballet H as ’Under Big Top’ Theme “Under the Big Top” was the theme of the annual Poseidon Club ballet presented April 23 and 24. Elephants, horses, clowns, mon¬ keys, trapeze artists, lions, acro¬ bats, snakes, tight rope walkers and balloon men were among the feature acts of the circus. The pool was decorated as a cir¬ cus tent with a ceiling and stream¬ ers of red and white plastic. A cage for the lions, a car for the clowns and a picture of a circus band decorated the pool. The ballets were original crea¬ tions of the members, assisted by Miss Nancy Hoerger. ELEPHANTS prepare to take dip in pool. SNAKES “strike” from within the pool during club ballet. 73 ’Always Prepared!’ CURRICULAR — the admin¬ istration . . . the school board . . . the cooks and janitors . . . the teachers . . . delivering speeches . .. dissecting biology specimens . . . attending the Book Fair . . . plotting a math problem . . . completing the chemistry experiment . . . dis¬ cussing current events . . . singing, playing music . . . do¬ ing creative art . . . military . . . physical education for boys and girls . . . intramurals . . . . learning business skills . . . farming . . . engaging in shop projects . . . driving. J Senior Principal: Energetic, Resourceful Planner Energetic . . . resourceful! That’s Mr. Shannon, our principal. Keenly interested in the success of each individual and a most vociferous booster of all Pirate teams, Mr. Shannon is ready to help student and teacher alike. He constantly encourages stu¬ dents to take advantage of their op¬ portunities, occasionally becomes their personal adviser, and fre¬ quently works with them for college success or for placement in a local job. With the faculty he earnestly strives to create an atmosphere conducive to learning. PURPOSES of Freshman Night are explained by Mr. Shannon. Mr. MacRae Shannon Ottawa High Principal WacKa Sk amion BUS TICKETS for trip to Peoria to see Ottawa- Peoria Central game are purchased by students from Mr. Shannon. 76 Mr. Willy.. .Firm, Fair, Understanding A visit to Mr. Willy’s office — for some it’s a moment for stern reprimand; for others it’s a mo¬ ment for praise for a job well done. Firm . . . fair . . . understanding. These, too, are accurate descriptive words for our assistant principal. Those who visit Mr. Willy for disci¬ plinary reasons will attest to his stern, even-handed counseling, al¬ ways tempered with understanding and softened with a bit of en¬ couragement. Now in his fifth year as assist¬ ant principal, Mr. Willy continues daily classroom contact with the students in his advanced workshop course. Mr. Willy is a graduate of Peru, Nebraska, State Teachers College. He received his masters degree in school administration from the Uni¬ versity of Nebraska. Mr. George Willy Assistant Principal ACADEMIC RECORDS are the main concern of Miss Oledine Wood, who also handles such things as the honor roll and class rank. HOMEROOM announcements are just one of the daily jobs of Miss Rosemary Connor, who is secretary to Mr. Shannon. 77 OFFICE activities sometimes reach a hectic pace, as indicated by the work piled high on the desk of financial PAUL WOOD, office assistant, sends Doug McKend- rick on errand to return photographic supplies to 607. FINANCIAL secretary is Miss Betsy Schillings, a graduate of Ottawa High. secretary Betsy Schillings, left. Helping to complete the work is Miss Wood. BOOKKEEPER at OTHS is Mrs. George Willy, who works half days. ATTENDANCE officer Michael O’Connell retired January 1 of this year after 15 years at OTHS. 78 Dr. Clifford Carter Mr. Alex Scherer 1958-59 President Mr. Alex Scherer, president of Scherer Freight Lines, headed the OTHS School Board in ’58-’59. In April, Mr. Lyle Bragg - was elected for the ’59-’60 term. Other board members are Mr. Arthur Walter, president of Walter Seed Co.; Dr. Clifford Carter, physician; Dr. Philip Wendel, dental surgeon; Mr. Andrew O’Conor, attorney, and Mr. LaClair Perkins, engineer — all giving generously of their time, help and ideas. In April Mr. Bragg, Mr. O’Conor and Mr. Walter were re-elected to the board. Also in April, the board re-elected Prin. MacRae Shannon secretary of the board. Mr. Arthur Walter Mr. A. La Clair Perkins Dr. Philip Wendel 79 Cafeteria Personnel Prepare Daily Meals; CAFETERIA workers include Miss Alvis Marten and Mrs. Ida Hagen- bach.

Janitors Work Hard To Keep OTHS Clean 81 i DIAGRAMING is explained to sonhomore World Literature students by Miss S. Isabella Sanders. SPEECH projects of Art Moak and Jeannette Moore are checked by Mrs. Ben Rotter. For the college-minded, the Eng¬ lish program includes Literature and Life, World Literature, Amer¬ ican Literature, Senior English, Journalism and Speech. For those in the vocational area, the English program offers Introduction to Reading, Books About America, Study of America and Contempo¬ rary Literature. For everyone there is the accelerated reading course. LARRY GUSTAFSON delivers speech to fellow stu¬ dents. Radio speaking, dramatic work, research reports and development of effective speech habits are but a part of the speech program. Directed by Mrs. Ben Rotter, speech activities cover every phase of oral English. To journalism students such words as “lead”, “nameplate”, “flush left”, and “occult balance” and “bold face” are everyday terms. Here, putting out the Buccaneer every other week is our major concern. We find time for the study of news writing, sports and feature writing, copyreading, proofreading, head¬ line writing, page make-up, typography, editorial writing and criticism for clarity and photography. BUCCANEER layout is discussed by Ken Feltman, editor, and journalism instructor Glenn Grever. 82 Mastering ' the mechanics of the English language, writing and re¬ writing paragraphs and themes, learning to understand and appre¬ ciate what others write, attempt¬ ing to accelerate our reading rate, building better vocabularies—these are but a few of the aims of our English studies. Term papers, biographical sketches, exploration of career fields, studies of the histories of English and American literature, oral talks, voice recordings — these, too, keep us busy in our English classes. TERM PAPER revisions are noted by LeRoy Hagenbach, Miss Mar¬ guerite Laugman and Jackie John¬ ston. READING students try for increased rates under supervision of Mr. Vernon Adams. ANECDOTE in American Literature text evokes smiles from Mr. Robert Burns and Robbie Ann Jacobs. “SILAS MARNER” is discussed by Mr. Jewell Ber- rier, Pat Bienemann and John Hinkey.

X International understanding, good will among na¬ tions — these are among the aims of the language program. In French, Spanish and German classes, we learn to appreciate the customs and manners of the people using these languages natively. Latin, with its exploration of Roman life, legends, and history, shows us, too, that Latin is the basis of many Eng¬ lish words. Also, we enjoy speaking another lan¬ guage. SPANISH recording is audited by Linda Foster and Miss Mary Jane Mess. 84 NEW BOOKS, some to be added to the OTHS library, are examined by students at Book Fair. ranj “Mr. Smith, I need a war novel. Where can I find the population of Costa Rica? What is the correct idiom — ‘different from’ or ‘dif¬ ferent than’ ?” These are just a few of the problems brought each day to our librarian. In checking out some 3,780 books yearly, Mr. Smith and his 14 student librarians keep OTHS students literally aware of the world by reading. STUDENTS brouse through display at Book Fair. LIBRARIAN Jim Smith checks out book for camera¬ conscious Ed Geiger. STUDENT librarian Jim Boe files magazines in li¬ brary storeroom.

Program Includes Genera I Math, Algeb ra, Geometry, Trigonometry Engineer, scientist, machinist, designer, business¬ man, statistician . . . these are some of the careers requiring mathematics. At OTHS the four-year mathematics program includes algebra, plane ge¬ ometry, advanced algebra and the one-year combina¬ tion of solid geometry and trigonometry. Triangles, circles, parallelograms, theorems, three-dimensional figures, sines, cosines — these are the common problems of the mathematics students. For the terminal student general mathematics develops skills to solve everyday problems — graphs, interest, insurance, income tax, social security, in¬ stallment buying, etc. ADVANCED Algebra students Bob Frig and Steve Pool discuss board work with Mr. Jim Harris. GIANT slide rule is used by Beverly Disier and Sue Carey. SOPHOMORES Sue Signorella and Allen Ninness solve geometric problem with help of Mr. Dean Riley. BIOLOGY students Gloria Meling, Larry Stechman and Mary Lou Stev¬ enson examine snake specimen. cievice Sputnik make us increasingly aware of the marvels of the world of science. We studied with new furor the mysteries of the chemical and physical world. Horsepower, valence, ohms, fulcrum — these be¬ came part of our everyday knowl¬ edge. So, too, did genus, species, dicotyledon, moraine, magnetism, candlepower, BTU’s, etc. Physics, chemistry, biology, physiography, practical science — these we in¬ vestigated. In biology, collections and field trips kept us busy. Leaves, insects, flowers — all became the object of our search. Weather, climate and electricity were investigated in practical sci¬ ence. In physiography we studied minerals and rocks, fossils, etc. Elements, qualities of matter, sound, light were among the fasci¬ nating topics of chemistry and physics. ELECTRICAL hook-up is pondered by Mr. Gil Love and BIRD SPECIMEN is the concern of Mike Alikonis, Mr. Ron Shreve. Charles Alikonis and Bill Allen. 88 PHYSICS FORMULA is explained by Mr. Robert Kra- MAP of Yellowstone is investigated by Pam Christy, bel to students, including Pete Strow.

BULLETIN BOARD of current events is prepared by Tom Wilcox and Stan Seibert. Social ScL cievices CURRENT EVENTS are discussed by Bill Hanold, Rebecca Bute and Mr. Tom Henderson (above) and Judy Thompson. Richard Sorenson, Wayne Douvia and Mr. Stan White (below). The study of the world of yesterday and today prepares us better for our roles as citizens in the world of tomorrow. World History, Modern History, and U. S. History give us a capsule review of the activities of man. Too, these subjects provide a frame in which to focus the problems of today and tomorrow. Current events are ever searched. TERRY SMITH presents his arguments in sociology, MR. JUNE GROSS, who also teaches history and driv- Mr. Robert Johnson and Roger Dettore listening in- ing, explains human skin diagram to health students, tently. 90 ECONOMICS students Dale Wise, Art Mason, Beth Conner take economic look at world with Miss Mar- Crawford, Judy Vandervort, Bill Schiffbauer and Nancy guerite Hempen. Civic-minded, well-informed individuals are par¬ ticularly important to a democracy. Especially in the study of our government, its basic principles, its mechanics of everyday civic activities do we become alert citizens. The constitution tests focus our at¬ tention on the basic American documents, the organ¬ ization of our local and federal governing units, our election laws, etc. In sociology and psychology we investigate, dis¬ cuss, and perhaps modify our concepts of social mores, group psychology, etc. Studying economics, we consider business prob¬ lems in terms of the individual. Here we study such things as contracts, transfers of titles, conditional sales contracts, warrantees, stocks and bonds, insur¬ ance, mortgages, liens, etc. RUSSIAN MAP is checked by Ken Nikels and Janis Stevenson. WORLD HISTORY teachers Merle Burke, above, and T. O. Zimmerman, below, lead discussions of world affairs. 91 Art and music are, to many, the fine arts. Yet they can be very practical. The study of music, both instrumental and vocal, gives much immeasurable cultural strength. Through it we become more dis¬ criminate listeners. As we work to prepare for concerts, contests and special appearances, co-operation becomes important. Each works for the success of the whole. Yet, our individual solo work causes us to develop self-reli¬ ance and confidence. Then, too, there’s the joy of playing and singing well and with in credible precise¬ ness. Art 1, Advanced Art, Arts and Crafts — these are the choices in the art curriculum. Learning- through creative efforts, we work in many media. The pen, the brush, the silk screen, the air brush — these are some of our tools. In addition to individual creative projects, we did publicity posters for many school functions — plays, dances, Civic Council projects, etc. WINTER BAND concert included 49-star flag pre¬ sentation and talk by director Ray Makeever. PIANO SOLOIST Terry Blackley was featured at winter concert.

Football Shows, Pep Sessions, Concerts, Contests Keep Bandsmen Busy Year Round Starting off 1958 the OTHS band along with the Girls Drill Squad played and marched in formation in unusually warm weather at the four home football games. Before playing at the 11 home basketball games and the eight regional and sectional tournament games, some bandsmen journeyed to DeKalb for the NCIC Music Festival. Also, the Pep Band played at every pep assembly. The two Christmas concerts were performed for the student body Dec. 19 and the public Dec. 21. With Director Raymond Makeev- er, David Sawyer was the only Ottawan to attend the Illinois All- State Music Activity at Champaign. Feb. 19 was the date of the third annual Winter Concert. Nine days later 21 soloists and 13 ensembles competed at Serena in the Class A district contest. The choir and the band presented the Easter program March 20 and 22. At the State contest in Rock Island, the band and the choir won the coveted Class A Sweepstakes trophy. May 14 the band presented the 27th annual Spring concert.

Then, it’s, “Dad, may I use the car tonight?” Giving the classroom instruction was Mr. Robert McKay, who this year served as president of the Illinois Assn, of Driving Educators. Assisting with the behind-the-wheel instruction were Messrs. Bill Novak and June Gross. This year we drove a Ford from McLean Motors and a Chevy from Whitmore Sales.

Here we became proficient in business procedures, acquired shorthand and typing skills, developed accurate bookkeep¬ ing abilities and studied the prac¬ tices of the selling fields. If we were not interested in vo¬ cational business fields, we perhaps gained personal typing and record keeping skills.

Freshman Night was held No¬ vember 4, under the direction of Mr. James Smith, class adviser, to introduce freshman parents to the activities of OTHS. The freshmen were represented in the home-coming court by Janis Stevenson. Their float “Perkin’ Up a Victory” took second place. The class sold Christmas cards for its first money-raising project. High sellers were Doug McKend- rick and Pat Rinaldi. The freshman basketball team completed its season with a 19-0 record, to become the first unde¬ feated freshman team in OTHS history.

Serving with him were Bob Poundstone, vice-president; Carol Riva, secretary; and Nancy Johnson, treasurer. As a money-raising project the sophomores sold Christmas Cards. Each week the leading homeroom had a traveling trophy to display. The trophy was a miniature pirate called “Captain Hook or Crook”. In the fall most of the sopho¬ mores ordered class rings, thus in¬ creasing local angora sales. Soph¬ omores selected from crests dis¬ played in the trophy case, the one crest for their rings. Later they placed their orders, finally receiv¬ ing their rings soon after Christ¬ mas. The class held a skating party April 16, and — despite a few minor casualties — everyone enjoyed him¬ self.

Another high light for the year was the Junior Banquet, January 28 in the OTHS cafeteria. Special guests were junior homeroom teach¬ ers, Prin. MacRae Shannon, and Asst. Prin. George Willy. The Junior Carnival was held April 3 in Kingman Gym. Of all the booths present, the sponge throw at the junior homeroom teachers proved to be the most suc¬ cessful.

Row 2: Cheryl Nelson, secre¬ tary; Jerry Christopher, treasurer. We ' ll R emember... Four years ago we gazed in won¬ der at these halls; now they are filled with memories. Those events we remember most are the ones of our senior days. First, in the fall we elected Ron Machetta, presi¬ dent; Jim Claus, vice-president; Cheryl Nelson, secretary; and Jerry Christopher, treasurer—to serve as Senior class officers. Next we recall how we gazed proudly at Suzy Richardson, our queen, and Kathi Richardson, our senior attendant, but not forgetting Sherry Hornbeck, Judy Vandervort and Rita Rockey, who had walked down that same aisle in previous years as home-coming attendants. Later in the fall we displayed our dramatic talent in the English plays. Then Wednesday, October 22, we frolicked at the memorable senior picnic. All too soon it was spring; we were skating at the class skating party on April 27. Then May 6, and we brightened the halls of OTHS with colorful dresses, high heels, white shirts and suits, for it was Senior Day. After the class break¬ fast, we presented the senior as¬ sembly, “Through Those Wonderful Years”, ending with the strains of “Halls of Ivy”. The juniors feted us at the prom, “Sayonara”, we received our year¬ books, and suddenly we were marching to the refrain of “Pomp and Circumstance” on the night of June 5. emoM Farrell, Clapper, Strow, M achetta Served As Cl ass Presidents; Mr. Zuege, Sponsor Alan Farrell Jim Clapper Pete Strow Ron Machetta Freshman President Sophomore President Junior President Senior President 136 Peter Baldoni William Barnes Cheryl Battles Thomas Bernardini Frances Bernardoni Mark Berrier Kenneth Beyer Mary Bond 137 Norma Campbell Dale Carby Clifford Carter Ronald Chalus Richard Charlier Gerald Chevalier Judith Chevalier Gerald Christopher � , jdLl.fl’iL 138 Karen Collins Nancy Conner Margaret Cook Kathryn Craig Elizabeth Crawford Lyle Cunningham Robert Cusick Roger Dettore 139 Carolyn Eisert Alan Farrell Kenneth Feltman Alice Fleetwood Dale Fogle Ronald Foster Jane Fulkerson Charlene Fullerton 140 Stanley Gaul Charles Geiger Katharine Gerstner John Goetz SuiZlj I kLcL ard on l ei ne JatJJt omecommcf o ueen Carolyn Goodman William Greene Phyllis Gretencord Marcia Grobe Donald Grubaugh LeRoy Gualandri Carol Gumm Phyllis Gumm 141 Larry Gustafson Sharon Haizlip Henry Hannigan Norma Harvell WJe ( £)elued Snto acletli , Cdc osme6.
