F 5 5' in 1954 Sphinx Volume XIII Published By The Senior Class PETERSBURG HARRIS HIGH SOHO0L Petersburg, Illinois OAK FORD ATTERBERRY PETERSBURG S ATE PARK 5 New SA M FOREWO .u 1 '1 It is the earnest desire of the editors of this book to make apparent the co- herence of Petersburg Harris High School to the unit district in which it is found. Through the use of the dedication and division pages we have attempted to show how students are prepared in school to assume the responsibilities ot adult citizens. First of all, by executing the duties of conscientious students in the class- room, the Student Council, and the. various student organizations, we endeav- or to prepare ourselves to fulfill the obligations of a useful citizenship. Secondly, in school we learn the importance of a moral and religious life: and that true citizenship cannot be built save on a foundation of Christian principles. Thirdly, by sharing in school our joys and our sorrows, our work and our play, we learn the great importance of co-operation, because it is only by working together that community life is built and maintained. Thus we see that through the efforts of this unit high school and others like it, students are prepared to further the standards of our democratic society. tv-X, f--NX, 1- my X , gk-, g .A 1 'fsf--im JYK, J-413 s t ft f -.! it X fi 4 l I 1 1 DEDICATION We, the class of 1954. hereby dedicate our annual year- book to the many business men of District 201. who year after year help us to publish our Sphinx . It is with a deep sense of obligation that we carry out this dedication, for they never fail to give their help and assistance to this project. Without the active support from the business men of this district, it would be a much more difficult task to publish an annual or carry on any other undertaking that anticipates success.

Upon them rests the responsibility of transporting 480 school children from all corners of District 201 to various school centers. Theirs is not an easy task. Every school day, rain or shine, these twelve men depart at 7:30 in the morning to gather the children, take them to their schools, and return them to their homes in the evening. Every school day each man drives sixty miles, covering the 155 square miles in the district, bringing transportation to all those old enough to enjoy the benefits of school. These men drive twelve busses and station wagons in every direction of the com- pass. Bus No. 1, driven by Carl Knous, carries 46 children per trip east and north of Petersburg. Bus No. 2, driven by Homer Lynn, carries 25 children ea-st and south of Oakford and into Atterbefrry. Bus No. 3, Hugh Park, driver, serves 35 school children west and north of Petersburg to Atterberry. Carl Morgan drives Bus No. 4 east of Oakford with 43 students. Arch Schroeder carries 40 children in Bus No, 5 to North Petersburg, Shipley and Pantier. Bus No. 6, driven by Bill Messinger, transports 60 children southwest of Petersburg and around Rock Creek. Russell Boeker, driving Bus No. 10, serves 25 students in North Oakford. William Kasten, driving Bus No. 15, carries 33 children from east and south of Petersburg. Bus No. 16, Floyd Bell, driver, takes 46 people west of Petersburg. Bus No. 17, Gerald Anderson, driver, serves West Oakford, carrying '55 children. Bus No. '12, driven by Warren Hayden, carries 62 chil- dren in South and East Petersburg and Rock Creek. It is with grateful acknowledgement that we pay tribute to these men who drive the school busses of District 201, Left to right: Arch Schroeder, Floyd lBell, 'Harold Tozer, Carl Knous, Warren Hayden, Carl Morgan, Andy Anderson, 'Bill Kasten, Frances Knous, Homer Lynn, 'Rus- sell Boeker, Bill Messinger.

'mlm-s - Aqua an-l White 1-'lower' - Yellow Ros In the fall of 1950 sixty-eight freshmen enthusiastically began their journey down the halls of P.H.H.S. to seek the wisdom of the ages. They wisely chose as President, Mary Lou Matthews: Vice-President, Nancy Shafer: Secretary, Yvonne Vogt: Treasur- er, Hank Abbott: and Student Council Member, Tom Zimmerman, -to lead them. This new undertaking was sponsored 'by Mrs. Wood, Mr. Moll, and Mr. Worthington. Through the Freshman Reception, the highlight of the year, the Freshman Band, a new novelty, was formed. 1F'ifty sophomores returned in 1951, choosing as their leaders, President, Tom Zimmerman: Vice-President, Dale 'Whi-tehurst: Secretary, Joan Sitzmann: Treasurer, Wayne Ishmael: and as Student Council Members, Kay Harbarger and Tom McDoug- all, This year the sponsors were Mrs. Peterson, Mr. Greathouse and Mr. Harder. The sophomores presented in assembly their sophomore stunt, the outstanding undertaking in their second year of high school. As the seniors look back on their third year at P.H.H.S., fifty-one juniors are seen returning :to elect as President, Tom Zimmerman: Vice-President, John Stewart: Secretary-Treasurer, Mary -Lou Matthews: Student Council Representatives, Tom Mc- Dougall, Richard Stout, and 'Richard King. The Class was sponsored by Mrs. Satorius, Miss Holloway, Miss Simpson and Mr. MeCreight. The juniors, in presenting their an- nual class play, distinguished themselves not only in the presentation of the play, Talttletale , but also by financially topping any previous class in ticket sales. They also sponsored and financed the junior-senior prom. As seniors they were directed in their many activities by President, Hank Abbott: Vice-President, George Baum: Secretary, Don Hill: Treasurer, Tom Zimmerman: and Student Cou-ncil Representatives Valerie Hayden, Tony Grosboll, Richard King, and Robert Sampson. -They were guided by Miss Terry, Miss Masters, Mr. Bagby and Mr. Houck. The foremost senior projects were the senior play and the publication of the Sphinx . The end of the year was spotlighted by senior week, the senior trip, class night on May 1-9, the Junior-Senior Prom, May 21: 'Baccalaureate on May 23: and the graduation exercises on May 26.

Two years of shorthand, two years of typing and one year of bookkeeping are offered in our high school. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on spelling, grammar, and speed and accuracy in skills. One of the main objectives of the training is to prepare students for life in the business world. One of the opportunities for employment afforded to seniors is through the State Civil Service Examinations. With the permission of the state this examination is conducted by Mrs. H. P. Satorius of the high school faculty. The test consists of three parts. The first is a two-hour test, evaluating the ability of the student in spelling, grammar, mathematics and office skills. The second part is a test in various typing skills, including work in rough drafts, letters and general typing ability. The third part is a test in shorthand, dictation and transcription rates. If the student passes in each part of the examination, he is called by the State Department for an oral interview. Twenty-one participated in the examination this year. Many employed alumni of our school participated in a second Civil Service Test, conducted at Petersburg High School, in the fall. It was a state-wide test to improve the ratings for Clerk Stenographers II and III, Clerk Typist II and III, and Clerks IV including supervision of departments. ? t Y 5 HONORS .14 Advanced Typewriting Barbara Bergen Mary Lou Matthews Advanced Shorthand- Marilyn Hansen Kaaren Hubbard Bookkeeping- Iim Swanson Ioan Sitzrncrn LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, under the capable direction of Miss Terry, organized at the bc- ginning of the year and held monthly meetings.

I INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS SOCIETY 1953-1954 has been a very successful and entertaining year for the International Students Society. In September the twenty-five members organized and elected the following officers: President, Sara Connelly, Vice-President, Bonnie Anderson, Sec- retary-Treasurer, Joann Ambergerg Reporter, Glenna Case. Miss Mina Terry is the sponsor. Although the regular meetings were held during noon hour, the society was very fortunate in having several guest speakers who met with them after school. The first guest was Miss Marian Means, a teacher from Springfield. Miss Means, who had traveled through Europe last summer on a bicycle, told many amusing and interesting experiences and showed movies of her trip. After her talk, the girls served tea and cookies. During the Thanksgiving holidays the society entertained a group of foreign students from the University of Illinois. These students, who were visiting in homes of local people, hailed from many parts of the globe, namely, Norway, Scotland, India, Germany, South America, and even Japan. Square dancing was the chief recreation followed by refreshments of cider and cookies. Everyone had an enjoyable time and made new friends. In February another opportunity to learn about foriegn lands occurred when Mrs. Marjorie Collins came and talked about Japan. She had lived there for eighteen months as her husband was with the Army. She told many interesting things about the country. Again, the group enjoyed refreshments and a social hour. This year has been an unusually interesting and satisfactory one for the I.S.S.

Providing schools with a wide range of books and other materials that youth needs for the acquisition of sound ideas and information and educating children and young people in the ways of interpreting, evaluating, and in using books and other materials of communication are a part of the school program in which the school library forms a basic and vital part. Our collection of books and their circulation have increasedg the audio-visual department continues to expand: more and better educational films were shown in all departments. We have added to our lending film strip library and greatly increased our use of recordings, speech, and music. The Little Theatre , fa special projection room for showing the filmsl, has been greatly appreciated this year. Collections of books were continually borrowed from the state library for de- partments and individuals. We also had continual loan service on some fine pictures and recordings. The use of the state library services and the use of our own school library services have been greatly increased. The large student staff has shown marked improvement both individually and as a group. We believe the school library is pressing toward its goal. -EDITH L. MASTERS, Librarian society, required of individuals so wide a most individuals depend upon communica- THE LIBRARY G1' I The Petersburg Harris High School library is a place for reading and study. Ap- proximately 2900 books are on the shelves, and many attractive current magazines are available. During each period of the school day a teacher supervises the study while library staff members service books. Student pages keep the ta-hles in order.

The National High School Debate Topic for the 1953-1954 season was: Resolved, that the President of the United States should be elected by a direct vote of the people. The affirmative members of the P.H.H.S. team were Duane Greenhalgh and John Feagansg negative, Paul Altig and Danny Barbeeg coach, C. R. McCreight. The squad participated in individual tournaments at Illinois State Normal Univer- sity and at Blue Island. On Linco1n's Birthday they went to Blue Island where they de- bated against eight Chicago teams from schools with an average school population of 1762 pupils. The team schedule also included a tournament at Pekin and the sectional tournament at Jacksonville. This year's team was composed of first year debaters. Regardless of their inexper- ience, they met with some of the best high school debaters in th state and received recognition. Paul Altig received a rating of Excellent at the University of Illinois debate tourney. Danny Barbee, Duane Greenhalgh, and John Feagans received ratings of Goodi' in the same tournament. The team placed second in the Sectional Contest and went to the State. DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club, a new organization sponsored by Mr. McCreight, enables those who are not enrolled in the regular speech class and are interested in speech work to take part in debate, drama, or individual events. A commendably large number of one act plays were presented. The first pro- duction was Don't Open till Christmas given for the Homecoming program on December 22. On January 25 the club produced Balcony Scene for the assembly. On February 8 they gave a play festival consisting of six one-act dramas, namely, Lilly, Andante, The Pink Dress, High Window, The Storm, and Minor Miracle. These plays were ,judgedg and Minor Miracle, the winner, was selected to represent the school in the Speech Contest. Valerie Hayden was pronounced the best actressg Alfred Barbee, the best actor.

I've shot my wad! i BIOLOGY CLASS - RALEIGH BAGBY, TEACHER PROPHECY Dear Jim, Since you have been so busy tutoring Liberace, I know you don't have time t keep up with the activities of your former classmates. I have had some time before leaving to teach advanced calculus to the Zulu Tribe in Lower Bongo-Bongo, so I have been trying to find out as much about our class as I possibly can. Remember JOAN SITZMANN, the girl who was always said to be so little to be so Stott? Well, I met her the other day and she's still attending Petersburg High School to make up the many days she missed. She told me that the well-to-do farmers, JOHN STEWART and JERRY WINNER, are having a lawsuit over whose pig rooted out the hole under the fence which separates their farms. Their wives, the former PATTY ISHAMAEL and MARY GURNSEY, each say that their pigs wouldn't do such a thing. The judge, BEVERLY WERNOWSKY, tries hard to be strict with themg but she blushes too much to be effective. I've heard, too, that BARBARA BERGEN, JACK McKINNEY, and DAVID LEE have all become salesmen, Barb and Jack sell SCHAFER pens while David sells CARTER'S ink. As you may know, Barb has also made quite a name for herself in her own special field of playing a piano while standing on her head. I guess you knew, didn't you, that ANN PETERSON has just gone to the ex- pense of having baby grand pianos installed in the operating rooms of her hospital. She says the music relaxes the patients' nerves. I remember one of her first patients, MARILYN HANSEN, had a nervous breakdown trying to give out BILLS for the MORRIS Code. And speaking of nervous breakdowns, I'm surprised HANK ABBOTT, who is now is now taking a course in the science of the Sun RAYS, hasn't had one while working on his new invention that enables tall people to sit through a double feature com- fortably. It's called the floating foot rest. DON HILL, who has been experimenting with the invention. is still trying for the part of JO ANNE in BRYANT'S Theater. Then, too, l'm worried about JUDY REBBE, who was sent to the institution in Jacksonville. She kept saying, There's a little TOM-TOM in my heart. MARY LOU MATTHEWS has really gotten up in the business world. She's work- ing for RICHARD KING'S Athletic Supply Company, and is the first stenographer to the fifty-third vice-president, KAY OGDEN. Kay wants to marry her so he won't have to pay her a salary.. Now, let me see-PETE CLAUSSEN now has half interest in SEVERNS' Insurance Company in Oakford. His best customers are, by-the-way, the GLEASON brothers, who run a newsstand featuring Marilyn Monroe magazines. Also, WAYNE ISHMAEL and BOB MOORE are still driving stock cars in STAHL,S Speedway but Dale's afraid he'll have to sell out since his box office is dropping because of a lack of turnover. Regardless of the fact that I've tried, I have not been able to contact all of our class but maybe this little bit will enlighten you somewhat. At least I hope it does. Senior Girls Volleyball Winners June 1, 1970 Dear Betty Lee, Since I received your letter about our graduating class, I have fired Liberace, have had time to counter-check the news which you sent, and have also been able to finish that class survey which you started and I add to it, this- LEAT LANDES and ROBERT SAMPSON have formed a dance team. Robert is a ballet dancer and Leat plays the black-hearted villian. They have endeavored to get MARILYN POWELL and BONNIE TUTTLE to serve as their dance partners, but the girls are still serving detention at noon and are unable to do so. NANCY SCHAFER and YVONNE VOGT, who were once P.E. teachers, now that they have enough kids, have composed their own ball team, the ASHLAND GEORGIBOBSJ' And did you know that DONALD BAILEY is now subbing for FRANK SINATRA? He sings a duet with ARLENE GUINAN who is still with Dick Jurgens' orchestra. They often sing LOIS MCDANIELS' favorite song, Tom Tom Zim Zim . Well, TONY GROSBOLL, who now has his very own T.V. station is still famous for his 1818 convertible: he has a private chauffer, EDGAR EMMETT, to crank the car for him. BETTY RAY and DORIS SHARP, by the way, are now models for TOZER and TOZER, Inc. The Communists are trying hard to get SHIRLEY COLBY to join their party because she has so many little Reds. Did you read in the paper the other day about KAAREN HUBBARD'S accident? She put a DENT-ON her Model-T while driving to pick-up VALERIE HAYDEN at the LYNN residence. They were on their way to VIRGINIA SCHO0NOVER'S marriage council class and on their way they stopped to leave Valerie's little seabees in care of DALE WHITEHURST, her best babysitter. Dale babysits as a sideline from his responsibilities at WATKINS' Florist Shop where he sells ROSES. Others in Virginia's class are BONNIE ANDERSON and COLLEEN TIBBS. It seems that Bonnie and Colleen got married a few years ago, but as a result of the punch they had at a party before the ceremony, Bonnie married GEORGE BAUM and Colleen married BOB NELSON. To please Mr. McCreight, the noted authority on divorce, they decided against changing partners. Mr. McCreight is, in case you didn't know, still at P.H.H.S. And finally, to my surprise, I find that RICHARD STOUT and TOM ZIMMER- MAN have pooled their interests and are running a baby laundry. Their motto is f'Tops for Bottoms. Now that we have made this survey and know where everyone stays, perhaps we should contact them again and ask them about having a class reunion. How does that idea strike you?
