S. draw to a close. we seniors are proud to pre- sent our 1950 edition of the Commentator. We of the Commentator staff have worked very hard preparing our annual so that we might produce the best ever. We sincerely hope that it will he the most cherished and best remembered yearbook ever published by the graduating' class of' Pekin High School. We especially wish to express our e'ratitude to our advisors. Mr. Puieell and Mrs. Hakes' who have so patiently and willira-,ly helped ns in every way. DEDICATIGN T , , -..MA Virgie Smith-Class of 1950 This year our class has done something un- precedented in the history of our school. We have dedicated our annual to one of our class members. Several years ago, when she was a little girl, Virgie Smith was stricken with polio. Since the disease has left her she has been compelled to walk with the aid of crutches. However, she has turned what might have been a severe detriment into a source of in- spiration and an example to others. We all have handicaps, most of them with- in ourselves. They are our attitudes toward life and our ability to work and co-operate Virgie is an example of what with other-s. courage, faith in man and God, cheerfulness and self-reliance can do in overcoming our handicaps and bringing happiness to Our- selves and others. Virgie has been very active in school af- fairs and has distinguished herself with many personal achievements. She has been a great asset to our community and school. Therefore we are proud and lucky that she is a member of the class of 1950. DMI IS IQ We the Senior Class, wish to express our thanks to Mr. Baker for his untiring' efforts with us during our four years of High School. By his leadership we have come over a rough part of the road of life, our High School Education. lll4Il!l'lll1Il.fl. Ihm-xii, li. S., M. S.

On September 13, 1946, fifty-four timid, future students of Pekin High School, after much inquiry, found their way to Room 2. There we enrolled for our green freshman year. We su-rvived the harsh initiation which the Sophomores inHicted upon us and at a class meeting chose Mr. Morgan, for our sponsor. We elected for our officers: Presi- dent, Lawrence Brockg Vice Pres'.dent, Lowell Gray: ' Secretary, Elizabeth Miller: Treasurer, Wilma Richard: and News Re- porter, Ilene Bowling. We selected red and white for our class colors and the red rose for the class fiower. Charlene Hall, Ilene Miller, and Earl Stewart left us this year but Jimmy Sullivan joined us. Some of the boys of our class were on the basketball squad. Before the end of the year Mr. Mor- gan passed away and we chose Miss Miller to help us complete our first year. As we entered the Sophomore year our enrollment had decreased to 'forty-seven. We missed Eula Hobson, Hilda Hobson, Irma Losson, Jimmy Sullivan, and Robert Mc- Killip but during the year we welcomed two new members: Helen Woodward and Eu-gene Sams. Our sponsors for this year were Mrs. Dunham and Mr. Purcell and we were deter- mined to make the initiation of the Freshmen much worse than ours had been. We chose the following officers: President, Sam New- lon: Vice President, Richar-d Marshall: Secretary, Polly Bush: Treasurer, Carol Dennis: and News Reporter, Elizabeth Miller. We were highly elated when Wilma Richard was elected Yell Leader from our Sophomore class. Again this year our class was represented on the basketball team. We felt quite proud when our Junior year rolled around for the Juniors always seemed, quite important around school, and we were determined to make it a successful year. Under the leaders-hip of Mrs. Baker and Mr. Purcell we began our many activir ties.. The officers for this year were: Presi- -dent, David Koltenbah: Vice President, Lawrence Brock: Secretary, Virgie Smith: Treasurer, Elizabeth Miller: and News Re- porter, Wilma Richard. We lost the following members: Halene Lucas, Ragen'a Marshall, Robert Lovell, Eugene Sams, and Jesse Motsinger. Those who joined us were: Elsie Crume, David Koltenbah, and Raymond Leach. We immediately opened our Junfor sales of ice-cream and soft drinks. We topped all previous records with our .sales of maga- zines. We wrote and adopted our constitu- tion and chose as our class motto, Today Decides Tomorrow. Our play, ' Tons of Fun, was very successful and our Junior quartette, introduced between acts, remain- ed popular throughout the year. We felt highly -honored when Ilene Bowling was chosen to represent Pekin High School as a model in the style show presented by Batts of Salem. Wilma Richard was one of the Yell Leaders this year and our Junior, Red Devils, won the class tournament. Near t-he end of school we took the Seniors to the Spring Mill Hotel for the Junior-Senior re- ception. After a delicious dinner we enter- tained them in the recreation room of the hotel. Our class presented a gift of glass bankboar-ds to the school for we had several Junior hot shots who were anticipating a place on the Musketeers' first squad. The last day of school we deci-ded to have a re- un.ion in the gym on May 20, 1949. At this party we had Mr. and Mrs. Marshall to direct us in folk- dances. Most of the class members returned for the party and all had an enjoyable time. Mrs. Marshall invited some of us to go with her to LaFayette and take part in, Pioneer Glory, a production depicting early Indiana H.istory. Those who accepted the invitation were: Rae Etta Mar- tin, Donna Green, Ali-ce Colglazier, Virginia Walton, Tommy Churchman, an-d Jerry Sharp. This proved to be a memorable two Weeks on the Purdue Campus. All too soon we found ourselves Seniors with an enrollment of forty-four. Soon after school started our pictures were taken and we ordered our class rings and pins. We began publishing the Comment and started to work on the Commentator with our former sponsors Mrs. Baker and Mr. Purcell and Class officers: President, Carol Ruth Dennis: Vice President, Bob Heinsg Secretary, Lawrence Brock: Treas- urer, David Koltenbah: and News Reporter, Elizabeth Miller. During the year Charlene Hall rejoined us but Sam Newlon -departed. We were highly honored when Elizabeth Miller won the D. A. R. Award of Washing- ton County. Our class contributed to our basketball success by having from our class: two Yell Leaders, Ilene Bowling and Ray Roberts: seven players, Bob Heins, Richard Marshall, Lowell Gray, Marvin Kay, Tommy Churchman, Orville- Brough, -and -Jerry Sharp: an-d Student Manager, David Kol- tenbah. Now we have come to a place in the path of life where it leads in several directions. But no matter where we go in this world, we will always be grateful to our parents for the privilege of going to this school and to the teachers who were so patient with us. We wish to bid the school a fond farewell.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, t-his the nineteenth day of May, A. D. 1950. The Senior Class of Pekin High School. Witnessed by: Elizabeth Miller Betty Baxter Ilene Bowling SENIGR CLASS PROPHECY Fellow Seniors! I have invented the much sought-after hydrogen bomb. Sin-ce none others than yourselves are worthy of the honor of seeing the first explosion, I have called you together for this purpose. We are ready for the explosion! Prepare your- selves! What an awful fog. No, I remember now, it is the effect of the bomb. I see the earth far away. Now it is coming closer, and I can see all over the United States. It looks so different, it seems to be much later. Yes, it is-1960. That woman out in Hollywood looks familiar. I believe it is Margie Bywater. She is the head of the make-up department at M-G-M. The star she is fixing up is none other than Betty Baxter. I wonder where Betty is going now? She seems to be on her way to pose for an artist. Hmm, the sign on the door says: Wilma Richard - Por- traits. What .is Raymond Leach doing in that white gown? I see, he is a dentist, and there is Manuel Wingfield, the new dental inspec- tor, looking over Dr. Leach's tools. Well, well, I see a rancher over there in Arizona who looks familiar. He should, for it is Orville Brough, and there goes his wife, Ilene Brough, into their 81,000,000 home. What is that woman. doing who is shut up in that little room by herself? It is Ester Prather writing her book, My Adventures in Hawaii. Down there in Texas is the best sight yet. Carroll Linn is on his -goat farm, and, one of the goats is getting the best of him. There they go, taking him to the hospital. Look who is going to operate! It is Dr. David Koltenbah and his nurse is-of all things- Rae Martin. That is certainly a pretty nite club -down in New Orleans, Lewis' Nite Spot. Why that man is Cecil Lewis, and there is Jerry Sharp, Cecil's new pianist and singing sen- sation. There is Gale Temple and Howard Bur- nett. They must be Mr. and Mrs. by now. That little girl by Gale does look like Howard. They are stopping to talk to someone. It is Marvin Kay and Lowell Gray. Let's see what they are saying. Marvin is a basket- ball coach, with farming a si-de line. It seems he has just lost a ballgame. Lowell is doing very well for himself as the owner of the Happy Cripple Crutch Co. That policeman, Reed Motsinger, is doing his duty. He is taking Richard Cox in for speeding. The judge sure is strict. I wonder if I know him. My goodness, it is our friend, Danny Elrod. I see a nice bunch of chi-cken hou-ses down there. I wonder who owns them? Let's see Churchman KL Marshall-Baby Chicks. I see Tom XL Dick in their office, and there .is Helen Woodiward, she has been awarded a prize for taking 350 words per minute in short-hand. That is a nice hospital in Danville, Illi- nois. I -can see Lawrence Brock .in there pacing back. and forth. There comes nurse, Charlene Hall, with his baby girl. Yes, the Baby does resemble Mimi! Whois that guy the police are about to arrest for disturbing the peace? I believe it is,-yes, .it's Ray Roberts coming home after a thrilling ballgame. Martha Morris is entertaining two other housewives in a gab fest over the back fence. lt is Betty Curtis and Mary Lou Bishop. At least those were their names in High S-chool. Oh! oh! there goes the phone! Even after years of married life, Martha still gets ex- cited when he phones her. There is quite a party going on down there. It seems to be all married couples. There are Lizzie and Don Johnson, Nellie and Johnny James, Virginia and Bob Hogan, Doris and Laurel Purlee, Romilda an-d Bob Abner, and Donna and Sonny Green. Now look over there in the corner, still fussin', feudin', and fightin' are Carol and Bob Mosier and Polly and More McKinley. Won- der if they've been doing such all these years! What's this? My, Pekin H'gh has changed. Just look inside. No wonder! Bob Hein is now Superintendent, and Alice Col- glazier has taken Mrs. Baker's place as Home Economics teacher, since Mr. and Mrs. Baker have retired to their home in Florida. Now, just look .in the Principal's office, there is Wilma Geffs, the new principal, with Virgie Smith, the School Secretary. Mr. Martin has a huge farm outside of Pekin, and has quit teaching. Who is that Alice is talking to? He looks familiar. It is Robert Reiche.

On Armistice Day the choral gvouo sang scxcral songs and other special numbers. The Vliristmas Uperetta, Why the Chimes Rang, coneisted of a small group of High School Lew lil:uikm-iilmaki-i'. students and two grade students, Allen Mar- tin and Mickey Ooley. The Chorus sang during the program. The groups takes great pride in presenting their spring Operetta, The Bells of Beau- ioulaisf' which takes place in an Island off the coast of Normandy. 550 BAND At the beginning of the year, sixteen stu- dents joined the band. Fifteen members were in the band last year: Irma Losson being the only new member. We elected for our officers: David Koltenbah, presidentg Faye Lewis, vice-president: Sue Dennis, sec- retary - treasurer: and Christina Fisher, reporter. Among the activities in which we partici- pated were the intramural tourney, com- mencement exercises, the junior and senior plays and the operetta. This year marks a great milestone in the history of the Pekin High School Band in that we recieved new uniforms. They are a royal blue trimmed in gold. The uniforms were financed from school activities with as- sistance from the alumni. To Mr. Oldridge for his superb leadership, the alumni for helping to provide our uni- forms, and to our loyal su 1 porters the people of the community, we extend our sincere thanks for helping us to make our band a success.
