In our wandering we turn to the year 1958, just ten years after the commencement of the class of '48' of Plano comm- unity high school. I vision myself entering the Civic Opera House in Chicago with an old classmate of mine and whom should we meet! none other than Dick Sauer with his wife, the former Joan Naggs. Of course, you know Dick is editing and publishing his own sports newspaper, magazine, and theatre with the aid of his assistant manager Bill Stern. We stopped and chatted for a while until we heard the three minute call for curtain time. We then moved on through the lobby and into our box seat. As the lights dimmed, the faces in the box seat next to ours came to life in my vision as four of our old class- mates namely, the HB1g Fourn who went West a few years ago. Marc and Ginger, I've heard, are proprietors of the Elite Dress Shoppe in Arizona. This plan was blueprinted years ago during detasseling. Bette and Carole, the other half of this illustrious foursome, are engaged at M.G.M. as understudies to the associated crime writers, Hack and Bailey. Just a moment while I wipe my opera glasses. I am almost positive I saw little, timid Ray Kimmey surrounded by his harem of ladies. Ray is living on Wall Street these days, almost next to the Vanderbilt estate. It is rumored that he is receiving sums of money each week from important figures in the U.S. government for which he translates important documents for the Archives building. The show must go on. First comes the ballet and listen to the ladies scream! No, it's not Frankie! only Bobbie Bell! We should have known his popularity and skill ten years ago in Mrs. Williams dancing class would prove his real talent and now he is Civic's greatest ballet star. The orchestra changes its mood and tempo and I imag- ine the greatest sensation since Kate Smith, none other than our own Dorothy Erwin who has been singing Civic's soprano lead for the past five years. There seems to be a rumor on the winds that a more enthusiastic crowd was never seen than that which applauded for Dot at the pier just two months ago when she returned from her voyage where she sang for the king of Siberia. A Reality in our m1nd's eye becomes so keen that we even witness the majestic closing of the first act and wind our way with the crowd to the lobby. Look! there's Johnny Dunne--in tails, mind you! fif only the class could see him nowl. Johnny is the newly elected president of Ford Garages, Inc. to which he gives all his time when he isn't visiting Pat's art studio. The lobby, for some strange reason, seems crowded with our old classmates tonight. Perhaps, after all, there is something in the business of concentration and mental telepathy. Joanne Olsen is here with her first high school crush, now her husband. It's really too bad she d1dn't marry before she broke all those hearts. Happy threesome! Barb Hughes is accompanying Liz Osbron and her hubby Dick this evening. Barb has combined professional wrestling and management of a restaruant for her own enjoyment and good business tactics. We hear that Liz and hubby have just returned from a European tour which they made as a popular professional skate team Civic is proud of election for the first unanimously to Delores is Sal Newkirk who has chain of restaurants. the celebrities here tonight. The woman senator of Alaska was thrown Meier. Accompanying her,we learn, become head waitress of uTellingsn Sal has practically achieved owner ship of this great enterprise except for the signing of a few more legal documents. But back to the productiong Dot just hit her highest most sensational note! which fact reminds us that Betty Kiltz has been acclaimed the highest salaried, most sensational faculty member at Annapolis. we hear the Schumacher brothers, Alvin and Bob are a great football pair for Navy. Wonder what inspires them? Coffman and Killey are here tonight after their grand opening no and K Confectionsu which is really putting Plano on the map for the original store of this great favorite chain for teen-agers. And remember Stub? He's their special motor-scooter delivery boy -- that is, when he isn't working for the nbeauty-sleepn mattress company as the living model in the window display. More celebrities! Here comes dazzling Vera Scull Powers, the new leading model, with her manager fsuccessfulj Dorothy Thomas, and her escort, Dave Whitfield. His is the greatest name in F.M. radio development. And there's Renee Doderlein who, we hear, has given up her French professorship at Yale for her freshman love who is with her tonight. And there's Betty Casner, our greatest con- temporary novelist who develops the theme suggested by Dorothy Erwin nAll men are snakesln Oh, but wait a minute! What's all the excitement down in the first section? It looks like--it is! Our bashful Ray Kimmey seems to have been overcome and has been stretched out in the aisle. Oh! How exciting! Here come two stretchel bearers, none other than Albert Christensen Che must have taken his part in the senior class play seriouslyj and Bill Rogers. Holding Ray's pulse, is none other than Edna Konow who is a specialist in heart cases. Miracles will happen! We never thought we'd see Howard Hatcher, Jack Soderberg, Loren Christensen, or Earl Severson here at the opera house, but tickets were a part of the prizes they received on a radio program for their great minds conceived a mechanical hired man which can be operated from the arm chair by a push button. Rev. Simms, still known as Jerry to many Planoites, is a here with his devoted wife Bonnie who was instrumental in his conversion into the ministry. The final curtain call comes and we cheer on our famous Dorothy and her troop as well as our classmates of whom we have dreamed and deemed successful. As we file out with the crowd, we are certain of the fact that we are one of the greatest classes ever to have been graduated from Plano Hi, but the critics will bring the true report of the real performance in the near future. CLASS HXSTCPJ' As the house lights dim, the conductor, Mr. P. H. M11- ler, raises his baton as he strikes the first chord of the opening strain. ' As the music softens, the soloist, Miss Kirkpatrick, begins the new overture, followed by the orchestra, con-V sisting of: Betty Anderson, Cleo Bromeland, Alberta Cass, Betty Casner, Marcia Curwen, Dorothy Erwin, Barbara Hughes, Elaine Killey, Edna Konow, Carol Madsen, Delores Meier, Rena Newkirk, Elizabeth Csborn, Joanne Olson, Virginia Peterson, Loretta Sampson, Richard Sauer, Vera Fae Scull, Luther Walker, Bette Kennedy, and John Soderberg. During the first part of the overture we recall many incidents which occured. We began to learn the arts of reading and writing and became acquainted with the different instru- ments to knowledge. The second movement began with our soloist, Mrs. E. Gill and with many new pieces added, such as, John Dunne, Florence Hough, Hans Hubbard, Raymond Kimmey, Earl Severson, Neva Coffman, Rufus Rumpheimer, Warren Mundwiler. Some of our illustrious former members left our midst: Donald Wright Betty Wolf. During the course of the movement we construc- ted a crude postoffice, we enjoyed our daily fruit Juice and crackers, and began to plan our daily schedule. In the third movement the soloist, Mrs. Beggs, welcomed these newcomers to the orchestra: Henry Greenstreet, Raymond Johnson, Neil Apker, David Wagner, Robert Moss, who replaced John E. Freeman, Rosemary Freeman, Florence Hough, and Hans Hubbard. The highlight of the year was the circus performed by the orchestra and organized by the soloist. We also re- call waxing beautiful autumn leaves. In the fourth movement, the soloist was Miss Denman, and the member added to the orchestra was Thomas Egan. The main thing we recall is resting on our mats after recess and learning how to multiply. In the fifth movement, the spotlight fell on Miss Kerns and the new members, Frances Ross, Rose Ross, Gerald Simms, Robert Schumacher, Delmer Weber, and Eileen Dickeman, who brought more harmony to our pit. The year went smoothly and quickly because we were waiting to enter junior high school. Evelyn Ghilian began the sixth movement and as to the new additions to the orchestra, Russell Cass, Alban Rios, Donald Soule, Robert Soule, and Noah Schrimpsher, and Henry Mikulick, and Brulah Bowling, all worked hard with the former members studying general courses such as history, English and geography. During our eighth movement, Miss Helen Thomas was in the spotlight and the new additions to the orchestra were Harold Yates, Renee Doderlein, Betty Kiltz, David Whitfield, and Lillian Stoner. That was the year when Elaine Killey moved to Bellwood, Illinois, and Don and Bob Soule left the orchestra. We had our share of the contagious diseases that year also, but everything went smoothly because everyone was anxious to enter high school. The guest soloists to welcome us to dear old P. C. H. S. were Miss Gladys Manship, Miss Lois Robinson, Mr. Stephens, Mr. Hack, Miss Cagle, Miss Villwock, and our chief conductor and composer, Mr. Miller. During our later scores we had to write in new conductors for the soloists when Miss Audrey Hall took Miss Manship's English book when the latter preferred a cook book. Miss Villwock acquired that same taste and Miss Alice Ann Kirkham relieved her of her duties. Mr. Sheffer and Mrs. Mavis Williams completed our list of new faculty members. A new strain began but with a few discordant notes. However, before we became full-fledged musicians in these famous halls, we had to go through an embarrassing process known as initiation. We became acquainted with the other musicians. The additions to our section of the orchestra were: Dorothy Thomas, Howard Hatcher, Albert Christensen, Bill Rogers, Jack Soderberg, and even our old pals, Elaine Killey, Dwight Burgess, and Duwayne Coppes couldn't bear the separation and returned to our orchestra pit. In our sophomore year the musicians took part in the initiation program but instructors addition to During and bees in the tables were turned this time and as the sought revenge. Delores Wallace was our new the orchestra and Luther Walker moved away. the year, the musicians learned of the birds biology under Mr. Hack, and in their Junior year the musicians got their first technique of drama in uUncle Cy Hits a New Highu, under the direction of Miss Hall and Mrs. Bailey. Later came their star role in the May Fete with musician Mary Lou Beschorner being crowned queen, and Delores Wallace as an attendant. Still later came the Junior and senior banquet held at the Methodist church. We had some replace- ments in this our 'string year' -- when Loren Christensen tried to fill the places of Loretta Sampson and Alberta Cass. There also was the colorful musical revue called Circus Dazen under Mrs. Williams' direction. Our last movement began with the senior musicians class play, nBeauty and the Beeffn Another musical revue furnished entertainment for the large audience, and the May Fete this year was an unusually festive occasion under the direction of Mrs. Miller. We were the honored and privileged guests this year at the Junior-senior banquet which was accepted quite appreciatively since our junior class day memories of preparation Having attended baccalaureate services at the high school we are awaiting the time when once more a senior class with caps and gowns will march traditionally up the aisle and receive diplomas with that lump in our throats as the memories of the past, are recalled, but the gleam in our eyes for harmony and O tuning up' period for the future is also ours.

' FRESHMAN CLASS The class of '51 has completed its first phase in its four year treck through P.C.H.S. As green freshmen we were given a warm welcome by the sophomores on our first day of high school. Miraculcusly the day passed without mishap and we became members of this high school. The next highlight of the year was the freshman initiation. We don't like to brag, but we were really proud of the way we dressed up. Prizes were won by Harold Smith as Robin of Batman comics and Patty Wade as Minnie Mouse, only after careful deliberation by the Judges, Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Miller. Having the largest class in the school this year, we are also proud of our orderly class meetings which were held regularly throughout most of the year.

The team finished the season with a record of two ties and four defeats but two of these defeats were by such small margins as only six points. The other two games were by bigger scores, but no game was a rout. Much of the trouble began with fall practice with only three lettermen back from the undefeated teams of the past two years and the rest of the boys hadn't played more than a minute or so in any game. The fact that three of these veterans were backfield men left a very grim line without any experienced leadership. Despite this handicap and that of looking size, coaches Sheffer and Stephens fielded a team that was surely a credit to their school. In two rousing games with their conference champs, Yorkville, Plano led at the half both times 7-O and 13-O but the rival's weight and experience 13 points each tying 13-13 in from Sandwich, only team that the first game showed up during the second period to score time, winning 13-7 in the first game and the second. Against their traditional rivals Plano didn't fare so well but they were the defeated Plano twice during the season. In Plano received the most severe cooking of the season, 26-6. But when the gridders came back for a four weeks later, they found the steak wasn't second helping so tender as before. In fact, it had even grown tough. Sandwich scored first in the second period on an off tackle slash which was set up by a long pass to the goal line and led the score half time, 7-O. During the third period Plano put on a drive of their own, ending in a score but the try for the point failed and thus ended the scoring for the evening. Plano's defense reached its peak in this game as they held Sandwich four downs on the three yard line pre- venting them from scoring. They had been holding the Indians all night until they took to the air and that gave the Reapers a little trouble. In the battle against Plain- field, the Reapers tied them 20-20 for the first game but were defeated 19-7 in the second meeting. I 941 Eighteen major year. Nine seniors should be plenty of Plano another great letters were awarded to players this will be lost in graduation but there experienced men back next year to give season of football. Those who received letters were: Seniors: Warren Mundwiler, Dick Sauer, Bill Rogers, Albert Christensen, Bob Schumacher, Jack Soderberg, Earl Severson, Ray Kimmey and John Dunne. Juniors: Luther Walker, Duwayne Peterson, Don Wallis, Harold Hansen, Harold Stein and Jerry Stein. Sophomores: Jim Dunne, Jim Kimmey, and Fred Cass. At the end of the playing season, the team elected the two senior veterans, Half-back: Warren fStubD Mundwiler, and Ful-back: Dick Sauer as honorary co-captains.

The team overcame Yorkville and even conquered the Geneva team by a two point margin. Then in a thrilling foot- balln type game our cagers were defeated by Big Rock. The Sandwich rivals were defeated in both games of the season and the team displayed an unending accuracy for the basket against Somonauk. The Plano quintet defeated Elburn in the opening game of the Yorkville holiday tournament but were de- feated in the second game against Big Rock. Plano played a see-saw game against Yorkville in the consolation game but came out on top to win a third place trophy. In the conference games the team hit a slump and lost to Hinckley, Rollo, and Shabbona. Leland and Paw Paw lost to the Plano team which seemed to provide hope for the nearing Little Ten Tournament. Plano was rated third in the Little Ten Tournament, although during the first two games the team played rather poor ball, but managed to win over Earlville and Hinckley in the last few minutes by a narrow margin. Waterman held an edge over the Plano quintet in height and accuracy, but the scrappy little Plano team seemed to sprout wings and keep the game on an almost even tilt. Waterman outscored Plano in the third quarter and finally won by only one point. The Plano cagers played Shabbona and overcame them for a third place trophy in the consola tion game. In the last four games of the season the Plano quin- tet was defeated by Waterman, Yorkville, and Serena, but won over Sandwich. The Plano cagers traveled to Geneva to enter into the District tournament and came out victorious against Plainfield. The Geneva team, which is a tall, fast team leading in their conference, was surprised by our earlier victory, but came back to win in a very exciting, see- saw game by four points. In all, the 47-48 season was very well executed, even though there were several tough breaks here and there. In conference play the team lost five games and won five and during the season the team lost nine and won twelve for a total of twenty-two games.

This publication was organized to bring to the people of Plano the activities concerning the young people, their progress and success attained and hoped to attain still. wwe Speken was made possible by the merchants of Plano through their advertisements. The student body through the recreation center elected an edit- orial staff which was supervised by Glenn Simms, the Youth leader. The Editorial Staff was headed by Jane Cummings, Dorose Zink, Marilyn Lord, and Betty Kiltz. Since this has been the first attempt on any paper entirely for opposition stacked although the paper of the issues that the young people, problems and heavily against the staff and seemed short-lived, we are proud were published, proud because of our snaps and scoops and proud that we were able to attain at least the first round on our ladder to success for a school publication.

Betty Casner as Ginny Allan, in the lead was the girl who seemed afraid people would learn she was a quiz kid although she showed us her true power when she succeeded in getting her man, pre- senting the pre-leap year tactics that any P.C.H.A. girl would do well to follow. For her practice bait she used Bob Schumacher, the big burly attractive and not-too-intelligent football captain. His pal and fellow teammate, HFoggyH whose name typified his mental goings-on, also had his share in the romance, with Marcia Curwen and Jack Soderberg acting the parts beautifully. And whoever had a more typical mother and dad than Ginny in Elaine and Dick? Then that kid brother act that Loren Christen- son played and almost stole the show with his talent for music and his desire to be in the band, even to the point of borrowing the drums of his girl-friend' father and naturally without his knowing of it. How else could he have succeeded? And from the way those football men precariously handled their cups in that nepicac-tea partyn scene the audience would never guess that the performance had started with everyone very much at ease. For this we can thank Dick Sauer who, at the first strains from the orchestra out front, offered his hand to Miss Hall for a dance and thus started the whole cast quietly waltzing away their qualms before that first curtain. Yes, we could go on and on, remembering all the nlittle scenesn that we didn't perform for the audi- ence and which we shall probably recall at every men tion of our class play. ..,-- 'd Q -ij U .

Curtain time for the first great production of the class of '49, Thrills and chills accompany the open- ing curtain and its prelude when Miss Hall gave us her last minute help. Now it seems we are alone and now we begin to wish from some that ting make we had spent a few extra minutes on those lines. Who would have expected any such finished production those first few readings of the play, or even from of those long rugged practices of the last week for matter?

Music classes began this year in September under the supervision of Mrs. P.H. Miller. There were sixty-five boys and girls who blended their voices together to form a quality which surpassed that of many previous years. The main event for the mixed classes was their combination with the girls physical educational classes to produce a rhythm review, HA Night in Swaneeu which was received by an enthusiastic audience. The A-Cappella was organized with nearly thirty-seven selected persons. They too had a tone of unusual quality.

With the help of the people on his plantation, he did, and as the curtain closed March l2 on HA Night in Swaneen Marianna admitted she wanted to stay in the south. The task was not so short as that, however, for bit by bit song and dance painted a picture of Swanee in the l83O's. Eleanor Lupei and Ed Smith narrated the plot through which was intermittently sprinkled the following program: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 .

This year the theme was nSpring's Awakeningn showing the things that we think representive of Spring. First we have the new growing things. They are the elves and fairies who preside over the birds, the buzz- ing bees and grasshoppers, the pretty little spring flow- ers and the babbling brook. Then came the storm and winds that frightened these new little things. After the storm there was the rainbow and back came the bees and the worms and the daisy ladies, happy that the storm was over now and that they could again resume their play. But what next! Here come the picnickers and hikers who will pick the flowers and take the insects away to prove that they have some early symbols of spring. But they are so happy that the tiny things do not mind being taken away from their happy playgrounds. Concluding the dances, the senior boys and girls did the traditional May pole dances. The final event was the crowning of the new Queen of May, Mary Ann Malmborg, by the presiding queen, Virginia Peterson. 6 2, ,.' Q ' - 5 lllx li HN?

We were loaded into trucks and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Drake east of Plano which is located in a beautiful wooded area overlooking Rock Creek. Entertain- ment was furnished by Tip and his Fun Makers until the feast was spread before them-- and what a feast! Baked beans, hamburgers, pickles, salads, milk and ice cream. We could have asked because just as our for big nStormy Weathern struck down-hearted? No! the cars and trucks Center where we saw ing ice cream. For the Drakes who gave No! and nothing more except nBlue Skiesn time was getting under way, a discordant tone. But were we No! Once again we piled into made our way back to the Youth s a movie while drinking cokes and eat- all this we take off our toppers to us such a swell party to nRemembern. December was also a big month of events. I'm nDream- ing of a White Christmasn was very familiar as December 25th drew Near Youn. A very wonderful time was had by everyone who attended the party featuring a gift exchange and gifts for the nYanks Who Gaven as the high event of the evening for which everyone wanted only nFive Minutes Moren. It was also during December that we heard the hum of HI Wondern--I wonder when the Powder Room will be com- pleted. The boys did a superb job with painting and car- pentry work and Jane Cummings added a few ruffles. The new year began with a Snow Flake Fling in the gym, sponsored by the Pep Club with Kuehman's Orchestra. The results of hard work were shown in the decorating which added to the good time. One of the attractions of the dance was the nattemptn at the Virginia Reel by some of the alumni. nwhy Does It Get so Late so Earlyn was heard as the dance ended with nGoodnight, Sweetheartu. Lyle's has been a meeting place of the gang after games or a movie this year. In January a party was given in honor of Lyle by his wife and all the kids were on hand for their usual good time. We were glad to have Lyle's a substitute for our hangout while the redecorating is being done by the Legion who came to the rescue when the S.O.S. came for lowering the ceilings. The work was begun in March which marked the month of spring cleaning. The girls got together and made sure that everything was off to a clean start. There is neither space nor words to express the thanks to the Chamber of Commerce and the Plano merchants for their help. A special thank you to Hemmingsen Hardward, Taxis Con- fectionary, Lyle's, Plano Cleaners, and William Ross for their contributions. Now Is the Hour for bigger and better good times since the ceilings are lowered, the radio-phonograph con- sole purchased, and the television set installed. The year has been one of great success and the hopes are that the Little Old Millf continues to go round and round. I 4 -1, pf, QM f, X-11,15 Y 1 w '. A , A . , 'v.
