5 u J 5 E Q 2 W The 1941 Railroader M 'jg s fiulfff STUDENT YEARBOGK 79ub1isf1ed by The Roodhouse Community High School, Roodhouse, Ill. MISS MARY JEAN MARAS A Q at x ' u l -- 4 lax rglxynib' VP ' .1 l , J is'-' X X CDedication . . In behalf of the Senior Class of 1941, we Wish to dedicate the 1941 Railroader to one of our most faith- ful and loyal faculty members. She has, during our entire high school career, stood by us and helped us in every Way possible. She is in charge of all the Com- mercial Activities in the school, each year taking groups to con- tests. During our Junior Year, which turned out to be most successful, she helped to guide us in addition to serving as one of our instructors. We are very proud to acknowl- edge the leadership she gave us through her interest and cheerful co-operation. We feel, therefore, that it is only fitting and proper to bestow on Miss Mary Jean Maras, this honor in recognition of her service on the faculty of Roodhouse C o m m u nity High School. Forefword . . A little child said his memory was the thing he forgot with. We are all children in this 1'espect, that our memories are the things we forget with. Now, while in the midst of these school days, we think their memories always will be fresh. Soon they will be over, the old associations gone, and the pleasant mem- ories that we thought indelible, will fade, until a shadow here and there alone will remain. With this fact in View we present this book to the student body, faculty, and friends of Roodhouse High School to bring back to you all of the thrills, the fun, the faults, and tears that made up this year as we lived it.

During these four years we have learned much-not only from our textbooks but also from our experiences. Our freshman year was a happy year, and we felt proud to think we were big enough to be in high school and enjoy the privileges given to us as high school students. We started out by electing our class officers for the year: Bill Neal, President, Irene Smith, Vice-President, Marilyn Snead, Secretary, and Ross Tipps, Treasurer. Mr. Barr was our class ad- viser. Many of our class members appeared during the year in football, basketball, track, girhs' chorus, and speech work, besides keeping up the factor of most importance-scholarship. Having finished our freshman term we looked forward to our sopho- more year with a little more confidence in our abilities. We chose Helen Kennedy, President, Keith Northrop, Vice-Presidentg Junior Adams, Sec- retary, and Hortense Young, Treasurer, for our class officers. Mr. Paine was appointed our class adviser. Again this year we went in for many extra-curricular activities. One of our boys made the team that was one of the sweet-sixteen at the State Basketball Tournament at Champaign. Our Junior year was a year of planning for the biggest thrill of a Junior-the Junior-Senior Prom. We sold candy and other refreshments at football games--sometimes freezing and other times melting. We sold chances on a turkey-in fact there were not many ways left, by the time we got through, to make money. We elected class officers as follows: Harry Hannaford, President, Lee Maberry, Vice-President, Maxine Casteel, Secretary, and Bill Neal, Treas- urer. Miss Maras and Mr. Rockenbach served as our class advisers. On the night of May 28, the Juniors presented to the Senior Class their pride and joy --the banquet and prom. Since blue and yellow were the Senior class colors that color scheme was carried out at the banquet with blue and yellow table decorations and yellow tea roses. We chose as the theme for our entertainment and decoration the Pulitizer prize novel and movie hit by Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind . Marilyn Snead acted as toastmistress. The gym was decorated with a canopy which enclosed us and made us feel as though we were dancing outside under the starry heavens. We worked extremely hard, but all of us agreed that it was worth it. We did other things, however, besides arrange for the Prom. We had one member of our class go to the State Speech Meet in Verse, three girls in the sextette, and five boys on the basketball team which went to the Sectional at Springfield. Well, now it comes time to relate our last year in high school. Our senior year, so far has been a lot of fun. We are the oldest ones in high school now and have that feeling of, shall I say, superiority. But don't let anyone ever tell you, you won't have anything to do when you're a Senior because from the moment school begins the whole of the Senior class is in one big turmoil. However, we did take time in between activities to elect our class officers for the year: Lee Maberry, President, Helen Kennedy, Vice-President: Cleotta Smith, Secretary, and Frances Baker, Treasurer. Mr. Barr and Mr. Paine seem to have some curious attraction for our class. Mr. Barr started us out right as Freshmen and Mr. Paine continued with us as Sophomores. Now in our final year they are co- advisgrs of our class. This year we have done pretty well as far as extra- curricular activities are concerned. We have a mixed ensemble and boys' quartet both of which are composed of all Seniors: also five Senior girls in the sextette, tuba solo, high soprano solo, medium soprano solo, and baritone solo all of which were good enough to go to the state meet at West Frankfort. Five boys made the basketball team again this year and succeeded in going to the Sectional meet at Collinsville. Our speech contests have not yet started but we hope we will come out with flyinf! colors in them also. We want to live up to our class motto, We got it done ill '41 - Jo Ann Weinand. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The following articles about the Class of '41 of Roodhouse High School were turned into the McGee and McGee Star Times by their ace reporter, Willis Roper, Jr.: Harold George and David Thompson who joined the Northwest Mounted Police immediately after graduating are at the present visiting with home folks. An accident was reported this morning at the intersection of Morse and Palm Streets. A V-8 driven by a hit-run driver struck Junior Adams, throwing him to the pavement causing slight injuries. Adams, now world heavyweight boxing champion, was taken to the Hardy Hospital in Roodhouse where he will be cared for by a special nurse, Maxine Casteel. The driver of the car, C. T. Wilkinson, was captured four hours later by two Indiana State Police, Weldon Brown and Wayne Smock. Detectives Ross Tipps and Floyd Stone, are at present looking for the robbers who stole the priceless jewels of the heiress, Maxine Tiffany. James Williams, who won high honors in school contests playing tuba, is a second Benny Goodman. He is often featured on coast to coast net- work programs. His soloist, Jo Ann Weinand, is holding the country spell- bound by her splendid voice. A new book, The Habits of Other Countries is receiving world-wide acclaim. The author, Hortense Young, has just started on another round- the-world tour to collect more material. Two local boys, Charles Havlin and John McAdams, are new owners of a beauty salon on Clay street. They specialize in permanents for men. Loyd Hunt, Jr., a scientist living in New York, says he has perfected a process which can make automobiles from tinfoil. Lee Maberry has been elected President of the Kroger Grocery Com- pany and Cleotta Smith is his secretary. Our paper wishes to congratulate Keith Northrop, a National Guards- man who won 31,000 in a Lux Soap Contest by writing in 25 words or less- How I Keep My Schoolboy Complexion . Other competitors in the contest were two Harvard men, Harry Hannaford and Wendell Rochester. Our readers will notice an addition to our paper Lonely Hearts, Come Hither . All letters are answered by Betty Day and Margarett Preston. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Neal are expected to return tomorrow from their honeymoon which extended into Canada. The bride, formerly Marilyn Snead, has resigned her position as secretary for H. D. Barr. Her place will be filled by Frances Baker. Bill, will coach the Fighting Irish foot- ball team, beginning next September. Doris Foley, Mary Margaret Waddle and Betty Lee McKown are now hostesses on the big T.W.A. Mainliners between Chicago and Denver. Harry Woodson and Bill Roodhouse, partners in a large dairy west of Chicago are spending a few weeks in Roodhouse. They are looking for two milkmaids is what they hinted to our reporter which could be, we think, Maxine Summers and Mary Jane Morgan. Hazel Riddle will go back to jitterbugging for Hollywood as soon as she receives her freedom in her fourth divorce. Mildred Hoots and Helen Kennedy are now sole owners of the former Famous-Barr Store in St. Louis. Betty Jane Florence has just been appointed supervisor of a group of three orphanages in Michigan. A few of the class became teachers-Irene Smith is Professor of Latin at the University of Illinois, Juanita Barber, shorthand instructor at Gem City Business College, and Dorothy Masters teaches English at Illinois College. Mardell Hicks Blackburn and family are now settled on their new dairy farm which they have completely modernized. Our paper wishes to compliment the whole class on their fine success in the business world and hope that other classes of Roodhouse will be as fortunate. -15- llzick Row: Durhzim. J. R. in-wis.

We elected as our class officers: Emilie Mueller, President: Kenneth Steelman, Vice-Presidentg Evelyn Ford, Secretaryg and John Robert Lewis, Treasurer. Mr. Barr acted as our class adviser. A number of Freshmen entered Glee Club, T Club, G.A.A., and Athletics. In the fall of 1939, 49 students entered the Sophomore class. We felt quite enthusiastic about the coming year, for no longer were we known as the Hgreenest of all . At our first meeting we elected: Kenneth Steel- man, President, Norman Dawdy, Vice-Presidentg Norma Vestel, Secretary, and Marjorie Prather, Treasurer. Mr. Storey acted as our class adviser. A number of Sophomores participated in Glee Club, T Club, G.A.A., and Athletics. Betty Pierret and Mary Jane Amos represented our class in the girls' sextette. In the fall of 1940, 45 Juniors entered R.C.H.S. for the third consecu- tive year. It was great to know that we had finally become upperclassmen. At our first class meeting, under the direction of Miss Maras and Mr. Rockenbach, we elected the following officers: Joe Alred, Presidentg Ross Everett, Vice-President, Marie Dean, Secretaryg Jack Tennill, Treasurer. Several boys received their football letters. Our class was active in Glee Club, T Club, and G.A.A. We are approaching the end of three enjoyable years here, but we fthe class of '42J are looking forward to an even more enjoyable and profitable Year as SSUIOYS- Mary Jane Amos. .-1 gwc ul-ri.f::w-Inn-'L-JIU'-:li-1 T!:lAM Ef,'5YSll1K2UYh'F9NURYlYSd PR2lYl5N hW.1V ' 9lIW4'HY0NLYWNWWfiK64S0 Y. .f.- ..

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTGRY On September 5, 1939, seventy-one students took a further step along the road of education when they entered the Roodhouse High School as Freshmen. Miss Story who acted as our class adviser, called a meeting and the following officers were elected: Bob Neal, Presidentg Lena Mae Havens, Vice-Presidentg Maxine Copley, Treasurerg and Tommy Young, Secretary. We had a larger number of boys out for football and other athletics than any freshman class for several years. We also had many out for Girls' Glee Club and Speech work. Sixty-three students, a slight decrease from last year, began school on September 3, 1940, as Sophomores. Of course it was a great relief to no longer be the youngest class . Shortly everything was underway and a class meeting was called. The following officers were elected: Calvin Smith, Presidentg Bob Neal, Vice-President, Lena Mae Havens, Treas- urerg and Chloe Garner, Secretary. Mr. Storey has very kindly acted as our class adviser. We are proud to say that twenty or more of our boys were out for football and many also took part in basketball and track. Dick Whitney, Kenneth Jackson, Dale Stone and Eugene Newton made the traveling squad in basketball which represented our class very well. Sophomores were represented in speech and music clubs as well as the clubs given us through the Advisory Council. We are looking forward to a very happy and prosperous Junior year.

FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY On September third, nineteen forty, a group of fifty-five freshmen gathered together to begin on a new fork in the road of education. We were sorry to find a few of the forty-two eighth grade graduates were not with us, but we were happy to discover many new faces among us. At our first class meeting on October first we elected the following class officers: President, Russell Bushnellg Vice-President, Jesse Scottg Secretary, Betty Davisg and Treasurer, William Gene Lewis. Miss Story served as class adviser. With so much entertainment going on we paid little attention to time and before we knew it those dreaded semesters were upon us. However, after much study and hard work, most of us came through successfully. There have been quite a few freshmen on the six weeks honor roll and just as many on the semester. We are proud of the fact that We had a large number of boys out for all of the athletic events. A large number of the girls joined the Glee Club. T Club and G.A.A. One member of our class was chosen for a part in the high school play, June Mad . Also, we have several members in the mixed chorus. Although we are the newest class, we are looking forward to the time when we will be upperclassmen. But until this time comes, we intend to keep on working and preparing. Then, at last, when the great day comes, we will be able to keep the Roodhouse High School at the top of the list.

The first meeting of the G.A.A. for the school year of '40 and '41 was held in the basement classroom on September 27, 1940. The meeting was called to order by Miss Maras, the director. This meeting was held for the purpose of electing the officers for the coming year. They were elected as follows: President, Emilie Mueller, Vice-President, Helen Kennedy, Secretary, Marian Rees, and Treasurer, Jean Lane. We also discussed plans for Play Day which was to be held at Roodhouse. We decided that Play Day would be held on the school grounds on Saturday, October 2, 1940. Everyone was given a duty to perform. There were five schools invited, namely: Alsey, White Hall, Rockbridge, Carroll- ton, and Hardin. Each school was allowed to bring six girls. We served lunch to the visitors in back of the school building. The visitors left around 2 p. m. The G.A.A., during the year sponsors monthly parties, which are well attended. At the party, which was held in January we had dancing for entertainment. It was the first time we have ever danced at our parties. We have dues of 25c a semester, which go for parties and necessities of the organization. The G.A.A., this year, was composed of forty-six girls, all taking an active part. G.A.A. has always been a successful organization in the High School and we, the members for the year 1940-41, hope that the members of the following years will keep it so. Kathryne Langley.

SCIENTIA FRATRES The Scientia Fratres was organized in 1935 and is composed of the members of the Chemistry class. The purpose of this club is to present in an entertaining manner, experiments, talks and movies of the more in- teresting every-day applications of science. At the first meeting of the club we elected the following officers: Loyd Hunt, Presidentg Ross Tipps, Vice-Presidentg Maxine Casteel, Sec- retaryg and Bill Neal, Treasurer. We meet bi-monthly, Following each regular business meeting a program is put on by two members of the club. Scientia Fratres is affiliated with the Junior Academy of Science of Illinois. We pay dues of fifteen cents per semester to cover our mem- bership fees in this organization. The annual meeting of the Junior Academy is held in Springfield every spring. Mr. Storey gives us a list of projects to select from and these projects are entered in a state contest at the Springfield meeting. We have taken two very interesting field trips, one to the ice plant and the other to the Gregory Serum Plant. Another is being planned this spring to the Pottery plant at White Hall. These trips are arranged so we can take them about the time we are studying that subject. The members of the Scientia Fratres have enjoyed the trips and the programs and hope that in the future others will enjoy similar experi- ences as much as we have enjoyed these. Betty Lee McKown.

UT CLUB T Club may be a puzzle to many, but to its members it means a lot. Since its beginning in 1935 it has been known as the T Club because the meeting nights are Tuesday and Thursday, and the initial of our in- structor, Mrs. Thelma Wilkinson is T , Superior rating goes to Mrs. Wilkinson for her splendid training. In the spring of 1940 a number of students were very successful in the contests. Those entering the Sub-District Speech Contest at Win- chester Were Naydene Welch, Bette Marshall, Doris Marie Young, Maxine Tiffany, Betty Black and Marilyn Snead. Three of these, including Betty Black, Bette Marshall and Maxine Tiffany were fortunate in reaching the State Contest in Champaign. Our first thought of business this fall was to elect our leaders. Those chosen were Maxine Tiffany, President, Marilyn Snead, Vice-Presidentg Jo Ann Weinand, Secretaryg and Hortense Young, Treasurer. A three-act play, entitled June Mad , was presented in the gym- nasium causing much excitement because of the outstanding talent in play work. After several years planning, we succeeded this year in having an initiation banquet for the members of the T Club. Students are now preparing for the Spring Contests. Those successful in the preliminaries here will go to the Sub-District meet at Carrollton, April 5. Good luck to the future members.

Since that time we have met every Monday and Wednesday joyfully serenading Mr. Barr and other members of the faculty with the sweet echoes of Calm Be Thy Sleep . At our first meeting we elected the following people for officers of the club: President, Hortense Young, Vice-President, Jo Ann Weinand, Sec- retary and Treasurer, Maxine Casteelg and accompanist, Jacqueline Gil- more. Our Glee Club again presented a Christmas Cantata entitled The Heavenly Child by Hamblen. During the month of March our different organizations and solos participated in the district contest at Granite City. We were very suc- cessful in those events in which we were entered. We were placed in the first division in sextette, mixed ensemble, and glee club. We were also fortunate to have three vocal solos who received first. They were Maxine Tiffany, high soprano, Jo Ann Weinand, medium sopranog and Jim Wil- liams, baritone. Jim also received first in tuba solo. We received second rating in mixed chorus, male quartet, bass solo by Ross Tipps and medium soprano solo by Betty Day. Jacqueline Gilmore received second in piano solo and Jo Ann Weinand third in her piano solo. All those that received first were entitled to go to West Frankfort to the Sectional Contest. Each member of the musical groups Wishes to express his appreciation for all the music instruction he has received from Miss Walser through- out the year.

Seven of them were returning lettermen. The Railroader's first game was with Quincy High, which is a much larger school than ours. We were defeated 35 to 7 but gained a lot of valuable experience. On the first play of this game Roodhouse kicked off sending the ball into the Quincy end zone. Finally Smock fell on the ball which scored the only Railroader touchdown. In the conference schedule the closest game was with Pittsfield. We defeated our old rival, White Hall in regular blizzard on Armistice day. But the crucial game of the year was the last, with Winchester. Neither team had been defeated in the conference. Roodhouse was not to be stopped however and came out of the game with the coveted Illinois Valley Championship, making a record of seven victories and no defeats in conference competition.
