FESLER IN MEMORY of Joan Hubbard (September 6, 1935 — September 30, 1951). Although she had been with us for only a little while and had left so suddenly, she had already made a niche for herself among us. A wonderful person and a fine citizen and student, she made life a little richer, a little more enjoyable for her family and her many friends.

ELDEN FESLER 5 MRS. ELLEN COURTNEY Mrs. Courtney has been with us for the past four years and during those years she has been a valuable asset to the school as well as to the community. Not only has she done a splendid piece of work in the school work assigned her but she has worked with the organizations in the community and has been the means of bringing the school and the community together. Although hers was a full time schedule, Mrs. Courtney was never too busy to answer questions because she considered each pupil as a person to be treated individually. Every one who came in contact with her, left her feeling better because of the wise council and encouragement she had given. Good luck, to you and yours Mrs. Courtney wherever you go. We all shall miss you. MRS. BETTY LAPAN, B.E. Typing I and II, General Business. Distributive Education. Western State Teachers College. Our school was very fortunate in having Mrs. Betty Lapan to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Lemons' resignation. 6 MR. METTERNICH Always striving to act for the good of all is our principal, Mr. Metternich. P.H.S. appreciates his efforts to improve our school, especially his wonderful work in making the Student Council an effective governing body. For your individual guidance, untiring patience, and sincere interest, Pittsfield High School salutes you, Mr. Metternich. Persistently laboring to strengthen and build Unit No. 10 into an outstanding system, is our Superintendent of Schools, J. Harold Voshall. He is ably assisted in this arduous task by the conscientious members of the Board of Education. Their fine spirit of co-operation has encouraged those working in the system to follow their excellent example. 7 FACULTY MARY BLAEUER, M.A. History, Spanish; Assistant Principal; Spanish Club Sponsor; Hall Monitors; Senior Class dviser Sponsor; National Honor Society Sponsor; University of Illinois, University of Colorado, University of Chicago, University of Indiana.

'Tis then to the old schoolhouse we go To see how much or little we know. Eight years come and soon pass by, Next we know, we’re in Pittsfield High. Then for four years by ties we’re bound. Soon, too soon, graduation day rolls 'round. Our school days are over and we heave a sigh To think we’re leaving dear old Pittsfield High. We appreciated the teachers and the time they spent, Though sometimes we were on mischief bent. And as we wander across the nation Each striving for a new vocation. We'll sit and dream as we sometimes do And those good old school days appear in view. So now with a sigh and a tear or two We'll say farewell to all of you To Pittsfield High we’ll bid adieu In the year nineteen hundred fifty-two. 12 Ardeth Bonnevie Cox SENIORS RALPH BACK, JR.

Not only is Bill adroit in presiding over the Senior Class and Student Council but he is also a valuable addition to the basketball team. CARRIE McCARTNEY—As outstanding in activities as she is in friendliness is Carrie. Her vibrant personality and courteous demeanor have won her the respect of all who know her. Carrie's loyalty to the Student Council, Nationol Honor Society, and Annual Staff has been appreciated by those who have worked with her. Citizenship Awards to Seniors At a spring meeting the Senior Class was asked to choose from its members those deserving of the high honor as winners of the citizenship awards. For the D.A.R. and S.A.R. awards, Carrie McCartney and Bill Blake were chosen by their classmates. For the Danforth Foundation awards, Pat Gard and Jerry Crawford were selected. PAT GARD—Certain to be remembered as a vivacious cheerleader and a capable president of F.H.A. is Pat. Always brimming over with good will and school spirit, her blithe disposition delights all who know her. JERRY CRAWFORD—Versatile in athletics, dramatics, and scholarship, Jerry has shown himself competent in completing any worthwhile service. His optimistic attitude towards life has inspired all of us to higher goals. 22 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY FRESHMEN — In September, 1948, the seniors of '52 started to Pittsfield High School as a class of 88 freshmen. Though we didn’t know our way around at first, we soon learned. We shall all remember the freshmen initiation when we dressed crazily and attended the ceremonies in the gym. Then of course we performed that all-important task of electing class officers. Our president was Carrie McCartney; Vice-President was Mary Lou Aiken, and our Secretary-Treasurer was Darlene Totsch. Pat Gard was Treasurer of the Student Council, and our other representatives to the Student Council were Carolyn Eagle and Bill Blake. Our helpful sponsors who guided us throughout the year were Miss McGuire and Mr. Lowe. SOPHOMORES — We sophomores started off the year as a class of eighty members. Our first duty was to elect our officers. The president was Bill Walton; Vice-President, D. D. Petty; Secretary, Phil Mink, and Treasurer was Joann Williams. We also elected Bill Brace, D. D. Petty, and Joann Williams to the Student Council. We feel that the sophomores class was well represented in all of the school activities. Miss Harpole and Mr. Fesler were our class sponsors. JUNIORS — Well, what do you know? We're upperclassmen now! We only numbered 75 in all which was a rather small class. Our officers were D. D. Petty, President; Frances Daigh, Vice- President; Benny Newman, Secretary; and Bill Blake, Treasurer. The Junior Class Play, a very entertaining comedy, was directed by Miss Bueker and the student director, Phil Mink. Ticket sales amounted to $354 which gave us a net profit of $277 for decorating the hall for our Junior-Senior Banquet. Members of our class were outstanding in sports, band, and many other activities. Our expert sponsor. Miss McGuire, helped greatly to make this a very happy year. SENIORS — We are now a small class of seniors, fifty-nine in number. Our class officers are Bill Blake, President; Carrie McCartney, Vice-President; Jerry Crawford, Secretary; and David Ferguson, Treasurer. Our Student Council members are Carrie McCartney, Bill Blake, and D. D. Petty, Bill Blake being president of this body. Our class is very fine in all fields and has much to be proud of in our participation in the various school activities. Our class sponsor is Miss Blaeuer. We are now at the end of our High School days and, though we are sad at leaving, we hope that the days ahead will be as bright as our days in Pittsfield High. We are very grateful to our sponsor Miss Blaeuer and the rest of the faculty, who have always been most kind and helpful. We wish all our underclassmen as happy a four years as we have had. 23 SENIOR CLASS WILL You can’t take it with you!

As you know, Diary, this is the day I set aside to check up on the outstanding class of all times which, of course, was the Pittsfield High School class of 1952. I took off promptly at daybreak this morning in my Dun-Hardt Space Ship which was manufactured by Wayne Dunham and Lamoine Reinhardt. My first stop was at Poga Poga Beach, California. This is the exclusive hangout of those ghostly, rich, millionaire, playboys, Kenneth Mixer, Ben Newman, and Rodney Sackett. The playboys hadn’t gotten in from last night yet so I moved on. My next stop was in Hollywood. A big crowd was in town for the premier of the new movie, A Place in the Moon,” which stars Harold Roberts and Bette Hickman as the luckless lovers and John Motley as the villain. Don Simmons was the producer of the movie and Carrie McCartney was the director of the production. I couldn’t get in the premier so I went to another movie, The Perils of Patricia,” starring Pat Gard. After the movie I left Hollywood and headed for Las Vegas. The first place of interest I visited there was Petty's Poker Parlor. Looking inside I saw Bill Walton trying to teach Roger McCulloch and D. D. (the proprietor) how to maintain a poker-face. On down the street I viewed Estill Gerard and Ronald Smith’s coin cleaning company. This is where all the big time gamblers such as Richard Ervin and Wayne Baughman come to have their silver dollars polished. Next door is the Last National Bank. The bank's president is Glenn Grab it and bury it Meyer. John Edward Smith is the official cuspidor cleaner in the bank. Near the outskirts of the city I saw the Retired Gamblers Home which is owned jointly by Jean Gosnell, Imogene Edwards, and Betty Jean Vannatta. Leaving Las Vegas, I headed for Chicago. In the middle of the Majove Desert, I saw the secluded laboratory of the mad scientists, Scott Smith and Jerry Crawford. Not far away I spotted Wayne H Clark, a prospector, and his pack mule plodding along in the sand. As I came into Chicago, I saw a hand laundry business operated by Leta Reel, Carol Ann Sutton, Ann Sowers, and Eula Dickerson. A neon sign on the building read — Personalized Underwear, Our Specialty. While walking by a news stand I noticed in a paper that Bob Caton, J. W. Knipmeyer, and Beaver Ferguson had bought the Chicago Stockyards and were converting them into a skating rink. I also read that Charles Mussy Musgrave is to wrestle Tom Gruesome Grimes at Chicago Stadium tonight. Joann Iron Mike Williams is to wrestle Frances Dynamite Daigh in a ladies preliminary bout. It was rather cold in Chicago so I traveled downstate to Pittsfield. Something new had been added since I was in Pittsfield last. Richard Dexter, Dale Dolbeare, and Bob Ogle have built an exclusive night club there. Bob Biddle is the bartender in the club and Farrel Jones is the headwaiter. Earline Torchy Thurmon is the featured singer. She is accompanied by Frank Fingers Worthington on the piano. Live entertainment is also put out by the chorus girls, who are Darlene Tootsie Totsch, Ardeth Cuddles Cox, Shirley Poopsy Plainer, and Mildred Bubbles Belford. After looking the club (and chorus girls) over, I ventured down to the new Pittsfield High School building. Junior Back teaches Physics there and Bob Foster is the new Ag. teacher. Leroy Robertson is still trying to graduate. I found out that Janice Vander Stoep and Carolyn Eagle (recent divorcees) have bought the New Pike Cafe and renamed it the Old Maid’s Roost . I also heard that Phil Mink bought the supermarket and converted it into a gin, garter, and girdle factory. Mary Fox and Donna Patterson are down in Mexico training to be bull fighters. Bob Wade, I was told, is down in the South Seas catching tropical fish for his Florence Fish Factory. I didn't get any information about Jack Bagby and Bill Brace except that they were seen heading South after hearing rumors that a tribe of wild, untamed, women had been discovered in South America. On hearing this, I downed thirteen Nervine Highballs and came home. Respectfully yours, BILL BLAKE P.S. My Space Ship ran out of fuel and I had to walk the last three miles home. 25 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT—DICK BILUNGS VICE PRESIDENT—GEORGE TOTSCH SECRETARY—CLINTON GOODIN TREASURER—DICK FRAZIER ADVISER—MISS MARY McGUIRE This year's junior class, which consists of 73 students, under the guidance of Miss McGuire is enjoying a pleasant year. At the beginning of the year we elected our class officers. They are: Dick Billings, President; Jr. Totsch, Vice-President; Clinton Goodin, Secretary; and Dick Frazier, Treasurer. Our representatives on the Student Council this year are Patsy Paxton Wayland Willard, and Sally Ferguson. In October we chose Carol Cook and Patsy Paxton as our attendants for the Homecoming dance. On November 16, we presented a three act comedy, Teen Time. This play netted $300. Frosty to the Rescue”, an original play was presented to the lower grades. This money will be added to the $300 and used to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. 26 JUNIORS JUNIOR CLASS—top row: C. Arnold, D. Billings, E. Buddemeyer, P. Capps, V. Cardiff, M. Carnes, J.

MELVIN KUETHE The hopeful class of 1955 became a part of this institution, Pittsfield High School, eighty-six in number. We entered high school hoping to cause a great disturbance among the higher-ups, but soon decided to be loyal for the rest of our lives. We came through initiation in high spirits after having suffered only a few minor casualties. Our first election was for class officers. The results were as shown above. In our next election Beverly McKinney, Zoe Benson, and Bob rFazier were elected to the student council. The main event of the football season was Homecoming. Beverly McKinney and Betty McKenna were selected as attendants to the Queen. Football season found many freshmen boys out for the Freshmen-Sophomore team. Many of the boys made the team with four starting regularly. The football season was climaxed by the annual Football Banquet, served by the mothers of the players. This we found to be well worth all our blood, sweat, and tears. There were quite a few boys out for basketball also. Several of them dressed for most of the games. The Freshman class is very well represented in Glee Club, but there is only one Freshman in Mixed Chorus. A large number of the girls are in G.A.A. and F.H.A. They are very active in both organizations. From the number of boys in F.F.A. it looks as if they are definitely quite a few farmers in the class. On the average we are a good class and will be heard from in the years to come. FRESHMEN FRESHMEN—Top row: C. Aiken, R. Arnold, B. Atwood, S. Autery, K. Bollard, J. Barber, J. Barnes, P. Barrow, C.

The girls came to school wearing patched blouses, blue jeans turned wrong side out, one high heeled shoe, and one low heeled shoe. Their hair was elegantly piled high on their heads with a weiner hanging from the back. The boys arrived wearing their dresses wrong side out, a pair of overshoes, an original hat, and a beautiful onion necklace. The boys and girls also had a heavy coat of lipstick. The freshmen endured the following games: bubble gum pursing, hog calling, and dancing. The froshs' ” feelings were soothed when they were treated to ice cream sandwiches, compliments of the upper classmen. 32 UNDERCLASSMEN CITIZENSHIP AWARD DICK FRAZIER, who is very popular with the girls, is known for his friendly mannerisms. Dick, treasurer of the Junior Class and a member of Dramatics Club and Spanish Club, is a valuable player on both the football and the basketball teams.

SALLY FERGUSON, a Student Council representative, is an active member of F.H.A., Latin Club, and Dramatics Club. This is the second year Sally has received this award and she well deserves it for she is indeed a good citizen.

Bill is an outstanding example of what a good citizen should be. MARY RUTH MURPHY, a popular Sophomore, is well-liked because of her pleasing personality. She is a cheerleader, and a member of the G.A.A., Spanish, and Library Clubs. JACK BARBER, a trombone player in the band, is secretary of his class and is an active member of the Spanish Club.

The characters who kept the audience in interest and merriment were: Wendy, who tries to be one of the so-called smarter, smoother girls (Carol Cook); Babe, Wendy's twelve year old sister with an inexhaustible supply of energy and a vivid imagination, (Colleen Mink); Mr. Meade, the father of the two girls (John Metternich); Mrs. Meade, their mother, who takes her family in an easy stride (Shirley Sigler); Tim, a good looking likeable young man, (Jr. Totsch); Milligan, a pleasant, good natured policeman (John Swearingen); Darby, a brash confident young man (Richard Frazier); Harley, a little too well dressed, and over polite (Bob Litvan); Miss Denning, a friend who is extremely interested in young people (Margaret Knipmeyer); Gay, a very pretty girl with a Southern accent (Vada Cardiff); Wilbur, a serious looking little fellow (Lyle Tibbs); Tiny, who speaks in a high voice (David Williams); Marietta, Wendy's friend, and far more practical than Wendy (Lois Winter); Mrs. Nash, a very prim, strait laced woman in her fifties, (Betty Caton); Nona, a smart sophisticated girl (Greta Williamson); Gus, the repair man (Donald Doyle); and Jake, a drummer (Neal Chamberlain). Extras: Rosemary Graves, Sue Howell, Marian Duff, Judy Criss, and Carla Jones. Sound effects were arranged by Marion Yokem, Dick Billings, and Clinton Goodin. The action took place in the Meade home when the teen agers try to persuade the stubborn Mrs. Nash to rent them a building for their “Teen Haven . Because of her low opinion of teen agers, they have a tough time of it, but in the end all is a success. The play was a big success under the direction of Miss Bueker and student director, Patsy Paxton. Makeup was applied by Evaline Buddemeyer, Mary Carnes, and Phyllis Smith. Elizabeth Lacy was prompter. The Junior Class with its sponsor, Miss McGuire, made a profit of $307.77. Because some of the lower grades would not have understood this play, another play, Frosty to the Rescue , by Lois Thrasher and Vada Cardiff, was presented to them by some of the Juniors who were not in Teen Time . 46 SENIOR CLASS PLAY On April 4, the Senior class presented “Great Caesar's Ghost , one of the most unusual plays ever presented at PHS. The play was unusual in that the ghost was on stage much of the time, but was never seen. Only his actions were visible. The story is roughly this: When Phineas Farthingale (Lamoine Reinhardt) came to visit his niece, Helen Maxwell (Ann Sowers), he brought with him the tempermental protective ghost of an Inca chief whom Phineas once befriended on a trip to South America. Helen was having trouble convincing her mother, Penelope Maxwell (Shirley Plattner) that Tommy Tucker (Bob Caton) was the one boy for her. So when Phineas, Aunt Polly, Helen’s go-getter aunt (Carrie McCartney), and the ghost all started to help her, it is hard to imagine just how much fun developed unless you saw the play. Of course, Penelope Maxwell, who goes in for seances and the supernatural, and her scatter-brained friend, Phoebe De Royster (Imogene Edwards), were the victims. There was also trouble for Dick O’Donnell, a neighbor boy (Junior Back) who faced the alternative of being brained by Hattie the cook (Earline Thurmon) for stealing her cake, or entertaining Deborah De Royster, Phoebe’s overdominated and seemingly mousey daughter (Ardeth Cox). He fortunately took the latter and Debby turned out to be a very attractive girl. The Great Mahjah, the moneygrabbing fake mystic, (Scott Smith), then swindled the two older ladies into writing him a note for ten thousand dollars. Esther, the cute little maid (Pat Gard) found the note, and Mahjah hypnotized her so she wouldn’t tell. When Johnson (Jerry Crawford), the haughty butler who had a crush on Esther found her, the audience was in the aisles. The ghost fooled the Mahjah, though, and the play ended happily for everyone else. Phil Mink was our very able student director and Miss Harmon, sponsoring her first play here, did a splendid job. Responsible for the stage settings and the ghost effects were Wayne Clark, Donald Dean Simmons, J. W. Knipmeyer, Estil Gerard, and Frank Worthington. Joann Williams and Frances Daigh were the prompters. Jean Gosnell, Betty Vannatta, Eula Dickerson, and Miss Bueker handled the make-up job. 47 JR.-SR. BANQUET Moonlight and roses bring wonderful thoughts of you go the lyrics of that old song, and for the Juniors and Seniors of 1951 “Moonlight and Roses will hold memories for many a year. Inside the walls of the Legion Hall, the garden was entered through an archway entwined with roses. The night was divine—stars glittered in the heavens and a gigantic moon beamed down on the rose garden as the guests danced to the dreamy music of Carl Landrum’s orchestra. Surrounding the garden was a stone wall covered with roses. Near the center benches. surrounding a bird bath, rested upon the velvety green grass. On the tables, tiny white trellises with miniature roses complete with stems served as centerpieces. The Queen's throne had a white background with red letters proclaiming Rose Queen. Charming Joann Williams was crowned by D. D. Petty while the queen's attendants, Frances Daigh and Pat Gard, added to the colorful ceremony. Moonlight and Roses echoed in the minds of many as they departed from this fairyland of roses. HOMECOMING We shall long remember the pleasant memories of our Homecoming this year. On the morning of October 26, all of us on committees were busy completing our floats. The colorful parade began at 2:00 P.M. and consisted of bicycles, horses, P.H.S. band, and nine floats. The weather remained fine for this first event, but at 7:30 that night we witnessed the kick-off in a very damp atmosphere. We all got a delightful surprise from the cheerleaders' special Indian costumes, and also from the professional Indian dancers at half time. The Saukees were defeated by Greenfield 13 to 7, but that part was soon forgotten as the evening went on. (Continued on Page 66) 51 OUR QUEEN AND HER ATTENDANTS G. A. A. G.A.A. — back row: D.

The Saukees had only seven returning letter-men around which to build their team, but even so the team was still good enough to fill the runner-up spot in the Illinois Valley Conference. The team not only worked hard and well together, but also with Coach Glen Smith whose untiring effort helped them enjoy another successful season. Coach Kuethe worked hard with the freshmen and sophomores who will bring us material in the future. The managers, LeRoy Robertson and Don Hayden, did a creditable job in fulfilling their assignment. This was LeRoy's second year as manager and Don's first.

When he got loose, he was seldom caught. He could go through a small hole for good gains. Senior, JERRY CRAWFORD: Jerry was the brains of the team; he had to carry the load of making decisions as a quarterback. His outstanding punting got the team out of lots of tough places.

When the Coach sent in his defensive platoon, he knew he could depend on Bill to hold up his end of the line.

Senior, JACK BAGBY: Ears' was our offensive center that took over this position in mid season. He came through for his team when things were looking bad for center position. (Absent when picture was taken.) 57 BILL BLAKE: A speedy, little guard, who was talented on long shots and drive ins. Bill as a senior, leaves a difficult position to fill. DAVID FERGUSON: Beaver, a senior, came to the team from the 7th hour gym class. He proved himself valuable as a rebounder and point maker. ROGER McCULLOCH: Pete was at his best on tippings and long side head shots. Also a senior, he will be missed next year. RICHARD RUBLE: Rube, a big junior, can really get up in the air. He developed a fine, hard-to-guard, jump shot. JERRY CRAWFORD: Jerry, a senior, had a very accurate two-handed head shot. He was also good on an underhanded hook.

The Indians had a very tough schedule though, which contained such teams as Quincy, Taylorville, and Granite City. The Saukees, built around four lettermen, played some fine basketball at times. In the Regional tournament, the Saukees beat a good Milton team in the first game then lost to a very strong Pleasant Hill five. The future looks good for Pittsfield due to the fact that the second team racked up an outstanding season record. We are grateful to the people who backed the team and are in hopes that they will continue to support future teams.

It has indeed been a privilege to work with Miss Dell, Miss Harmon, and Mr. Fesler, whose comments and criticisms have aided us in presenting an outstanding yearbook. We would also like to thank the other members of the staff, the patrons who backed us by buying ads, Mr. Spieth, our photographer, and the printers, all of whcm were indispensable to the success of this project. We, the editors wish to express the hope of the entire staff, that you, the readers, will enjoy this annual as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you, and that it will long remind you of our class of '52.
