Red Bud High School - Cercis Yearbook (Red Bud, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1965 volume:

foreword Gathered in these pages is a collection of the events at Red Bud High School during 1964-1965. Throughout this year’s Cercis, we have tried to present the many facets of our school life. Many pleasant recollections will be summoned to your minds in these pages. We hope this book will become one of your most cherished possessions. Contents Let each become all that he was created capable of being; expand, if possible, to his full growth. Richter FACULTY STUDENTS STUDIES ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES ADVERTISEMENTS growing Up Throughout this past year Red Bud High School has seen much growth. A new library, our symbol of physical growth, renders serviceable working area and an enlightening atmosphere in which to do research and a variety of reading. Space was the desired quality, and this ad- dition to our school is fulfilling such a need. We have also seen physical growth in numbers, the student body increasing from 400 to 440 with more than 100 members in each class now. As the number of students increases, so must the number of teachers; thus, our faculty has en- larged to include several new teachers. But Red Bud High School has seen growth in other aspects of its life. Intellectual stimulation has been brought about by alert, concerned teach- ers. Abstract growth has also come in the form of higher school allegiance and spirited sup- port of all of our efforts toward achievement. All this growth reassures us in our outlook to- ward the future success of Red Bud High School. Administration A. N. TRAMMELL Superintendent Red Bud High School would not be able to grow without efficient administration. Mr. Trammell and Mr. Phegley have given unselfishly of their time and abilities to enable our expanding school to function properly. Their tasks include transacting school business, coun- seling students, keeping order in our school, and devising programs for the betterment of Red Bud High and its students. We express sincere thanks for their capable administration. faculty BETTY ABERCROMBIE Art; Home Economics JAMES BAXTER Commerce faculty MARGERY ELLER English; German HARRISON FULLER Government Driver's Education LAWRENCE GRABOWSKI Chemistry General Science ARTHUR HARGIS American History Boys' Physical Education Faculty MARGARET PHEGLEY Biology Girls Phys.

Now we find time has passed too quickly, and the long awaited day is nearly here. Most of us will have fond remembrances of activities at Red Bud. But more than enjoyment, we can re- call growing experiences. However, we must not consider graduation as the end of our growing. Rather, it should be the beginning ol our independent development into useful members of so- ciety.

The band played at basketball games during the fall, presented a spring concert, and will march in parades this summer. The majorettes are the leaders of these parades.
