Because she is such a stimulating personality, so genuinely sincere, and so subtly hurnorousg be- cause she has that certain ability to rnake our work interesting, and a sympathetic understanding of our ditficultiesg and rnost of all because she is such a thorough good-fellow, we dedicate this twenty- sixth edition of the Re-Echo to Mrs. Wells. 44 6 7? Ta Z1 I Q 0 GOIf1fEI1f8 I The Medicine Men II The Tribes III Pow-Wows IV Scalpers V Whoopee The Indian motif By thy rivers gently flowing Illinois, Illinois, O'er thy prairies verdant growing Illinois, Illinois, Comes the echo on the breeze- of that race of Illini, the hunters and warriors, who gave the name to the rivers, the Illinois and Kickapoo rivers, not far from Rushville. It was that race who built small mounds found along our rivers, the largest one near Rushville being Dickson Mound at Lewistown. This huge mound, crescent- shaped, contains more than two hundred skeletons and is the largest and most interesting display of its kind in the state. There one can see the Indian skeletons and other objects kept in exactly the same position in which they were found. Evidences of Indian occupation have been found in Schuyler county. Indicm battles must have been fought here, for scores of Indian beads and many battle axes have been found near Camden, Huntsville, and Ray. There are as many as twenty or twenty-five Indian mounds near Rush- ville. One of the closest, five miles south, has been dug into, but no record tells just what was ever found. We are near enough Peoria to mention that around Peoria Lake was a favorite meeting place, for many tribes of Indians went there to hunt and fish and at one time, near the present site of Peoria, the Indian villages had from one hundred to four hundred sixty lodges. Numerous towns in Illinois bear Indian names. Very appropriate are the words: We drove the Indians out of the land But a dire revenge these redmen planned For they fastened a name to every nook And every boy with a spelling book Will have to toil till his hair turns gray Before he can spell them the proper way. Of Schuyler county we might say: Here lived and loved another race of beings Beneath the same sun that rolls over our heads The Indian hunter pursued the parting deer.

As a consequence the area increased and the board members were chosen from the far corners of the new district. Because of that fact we were unable to get them all together tor a picture. Yet everyone from papooses to warriors think they have done a fine job ot directing our school. They have provided good teachers and the best equipment possible so that we can get the most from our high school. Each member of our tribe thanks Mr. Iames Lashmett, the president, Mr. Doane Trone, the secretary, and the members, Ralph Payne, Russell Burnside, and Kenneth Robertson for their Work. . tudent-Faculty Counci Mrs. Davis. Miss Taylor The ten members of the Student-Faculty Council plan the school budget, control extra-curricular activities, and direct school activities. The five student members make suggestions from the student body and help to carry out plans suggested by teachers. The five committees of the council are discipline, finance, music and literary, social, and athletics. Each committee consists of a faculty member and a student representative. The reservation has been kept in fine condition, thanks to the council. 441053 Bill Streitsberger. Dor- othy Tomlinson. Marcel- la Trone, Charles Dace. Denny Trone, Mr. Mc- Caleb, Mr. Briggs.

He always has a Witty remark to cheer you up if you're in a bad mood. Late againl he says, and What hap- pened this morning, get stuck? As the year ends again Chief Ketchum has once again proved himself a loyal friend and teacher. Heap Big Chief MELVIN McCALEB Through another successful school year our Heap Big Chief McCa1eb has led the Wild ln- dians of this reservation. Keeping all the ln- dians contented is a bigger job than we realize, but our feathered hats are off to our chief for his good Work. We will remember him as an admirer of sports Who played a good part on the faculty basketball team, a friend, and a counselor to all. 1 l lvlusmgs oi the j 1 j Mrs. Wilhoite MacMurray College, A.B.: American College of Physical Education And now to get back on the sub- ject!

Unsteady were the maidens and braves Their first moons at Rushville High. But destined were those unknown Indians To be the best tribe by and by. Chose they a Chieftain, Chucker Dace. They knew he could lead them best, While the upperclassmen looked them over To see if they passed the test. Came they back in Forty Three. That year they climbed much higher. Placed warriors on football and basketball squads, And others in band and choir. Surprised they the other tribes that year By giving their first play. To bigger and better acting, 'tis said, That Elmer paved the way. Soon another year had passed. As Iuniors they had not a fear. They excelled in sports and knowledge Each knew 'twas his biggest year. An able cast of redskins Miss Lois Walworth had When she set out to give the great Production called Iune Mad. Across the shining big sea water, Many miles away, Went they to an old Dutch garden On the fourth of May. Maids put on their brightest feathers, Braves put on their war paint, Danced they amongst the tulips gay In that garden quaint. And so it came, the tribe's last year. Soon they would be bound For seeking new and bigger game In another hunting ground. Long would this tribe be remembered As Indians great and strong. In their long and dangerous journey They will ne'er go wrong. Senior Wazfiriors Alice Acker Plenty of pep when she led our cheers. You'll look twice believe us, clears.

Honors go to Robert Iohnson, Patricia Miller, Lois Tomlinson, Mary Tom- linson, and Margie Tutt. Their aims were high-to receive fame in scholastic work and in the extra-curricular activities, also. That meant daily preparation and long hours of work. Now they have received the highest awards Rushville Community High School offers, the scholarship and scholarship-activity awards. Their achievements should be the goal of all underclassmen. c28x Z i exx. J flfa yw fmwvy My ff ' , 9 . F NB JM' - A ' if df ' Jw! 4fff 4'4' ,fi WVQLC' ZZ MMAZW4W lyk , e j .

They sang at the Union Thanksgiving service in the Methodist Church and, too, they also presented musical services at three of the churches in the spring which was appreciated very much. From the choir Mrs. Strong chose sixteen singers to represent the high school in the choral con- tests in the lllinois Valley League. Also the choir sang in the operetta and most of the cast was chosen from the choir. The following are the members of the choir: Sopranos Enid Chandler Doris Corbridge Helen Howard Margie Goodwin Reba Arnold Mary Ann Simpson Louise Bebman leannine Shores Gloria Workman ,'J ' T fdf0 OCxQ High School Choir Tenors Harold Houston Don Corbridge Don Skiles Charles Dace Dwight Dernaree Altos Betty Burnett leanne Barnes Maryln Green Patricia Miller Betty Kerr lerrilee Cain Edna Rebman lean Mclfeeters Bass Corky Sutherland Peter Park Bob Bunkle Richard Rabedeaux GIGS Under the expert direction of Mrs. Strong, our Glee Club has furnished us with some very good entertainment. The members made up the chorus of Hats Off and they also presented two short operettas which were enjoyed by all. 1452 To The Great Spirit The best known and most impressive service that the choir gave was their annual Christmas Vesper and this year under the able director, Mrs. Howard Strong, the choir was augmented with the choirs of the other churches which gave us a well balanced chorus. The members who took part in this service were the high school choir and the following of the church choirs: Gladys Cunningham Mrs. Harold Wells Mrs. Leslie Bedenbender Mrs. Fred Krauss Mrs. Rozelle Thompson Mrs. Ruth Thompson Mrs. William Roudebush Lucille McCormick Mrs. Iohn Diseron W.

Full credit goes to Mrs. Strong and the cast, and special credit goes to Emma Lee White whose faithfulness and untiring efforts are greatly appre- ciated. T he action took place in the Mermaid Inn, a waterfront rendezvous for the sailors, officers, and their Sweethearts who gathered to dance and make merry under the friendly eye of Dame Bly, the proprietress. The action was enlivened by several colorful dance ensembles directed by Mrs. Davis. The story was concerned with the efforts of a renegade captain, Pierre Landairs, to destroy the influence of Iones. Tones and his friends defeat the renegade's plans and the operetta ended on a note of celebration honoring Iohn Paul Iones and the flag of the new union.

Almost all the money is bequeathed to Lorna, his niece, provided she tells the truth until she is twenty-one and that she does not fall in love or marry before that time. There is a sum of money for his cousin fames Emer- son, provided he can prove in the presence of three Witnesses that he is master in his own home. Poor cousin fames sees this money vanish into thin air for his Wife rules the roost with an iron hand.

From the standpoint of games won and lost our l945 football season was not as successful as previous years. l-lowever, we all feel that it succeeded in its main purpose, that of building strong characters, both physically and mentally, The Rockets were held back by lack of weight and speed but were al- ways full of spirit and the will to Win. fc 58 bb Notre Dome Monmouth Macomb .

Ioe Curl-Senior Played guard and was asset to team due to speed and defensive play. He was co-captain and will certainly be missed next year. Bob Gillenwater-Senior Tallest boy on the squad, played center, his height helped the Rockets out of some tough spots, Glen Tomlinson-Senior Other co-captain, played forward and came through in the pinches with his long shots. Charles Dace-Senior Little but mighty is what they say about Chucker. Always a cool player and famous for his long shots. He'll he miss- ed next year. N . H1 .. ,Ax Dick Patterson-Freshman For a Freshman, Pat has no equal in the Spoon River Conference. Played center and was the team's highest scorer and finish- ed 3rd high in the Confer- ence with 93 points. Kinda handsome, too, girls. Lester Robertson-Senior Another tall boy, good rebounder and a one- handed shot from anyplace on the floor. 16477 Bob Lang-Sophomore As a defensive player he exalted, and was also a one-handed push shot art- ist. With room to improve he should go places in the next two years. Bob Corman-Sophomore Speed was his spec- ialty. Always driving re- gardless of the odds. ln- tercepting passes and stealing the ball made him famous. If he gets any faster, they better give him brakes. Now we come to the little scalpers. Those who are sit- ing are: Cecil I-lerche, Dick DeWitt, Don Cook, Norman foxy standing are: Bob lunlcle, Earl Moore, lra Hop- Lins. This was our second eam which was composed en- irely of luniors. They enjoyed 1 successful season, winding ip with more wins than losses. l number of them played on he first team also part of the ime, and will probably add a ew list of scalps next year, Our freshmanesopho m o r e quad also saw an enjoyable eason. They are, sitting: layton Rabedeaux, Lyle Rob- 'tson, William Rebman, Victor rckson, Clifford Hitzg stand- qi Ted Ardis, Lyle Paisley, 'iil Allen and Bob Trone. iese boys were entered into freshinanfsophomore Spoon ver Conference. They fin- hed third in the conference id chalked up more scalps ,f the wayside. lf all of these nys stay out, they should de- elop into a good team. Little Scfalpers e652 The schedule is a good one. Already we have overcome one opponent, The Thinlies Although the Rockets do not have the strength in the dash events that they had last year, this year's squad appears to have a better balance in all events. Lester Robertson, back from last year's squad, throws the discus ten to fifteen feet farther than last year. With the support of Gregory, DeWitt, Cook, and Crone the Rockets have a fine weight section. In the pole vault are Norman Cox, returning letterman, and lim and Dick Tyson. George Kistler and Bob Stauffer are the No. l sprint men. In the 440 and 880 yard runs, Glenn Tomlinson, Dick Tyson, Bob Lynn, Harold Tyson, and Lee Herche are the best on a long list, although more men may come out. The mile is one of the most interesting events of the year. Cecil Herdhe, Harold Huston, and lack Burnsides are outstanding men on the squad. Led by Bob Boyd, last year's conference hurdle champ, and with foe Curl, Doug Hughes, Bob Toland, and Dick Rabecleaux, the hurdlers have a fast relay team. In the high jumps Ioe Curl and Norman Cox, from last year's team and Dick Patterson and Bob Runkle may develop into six-foot jumpers. Lewistown 85 to 23.

N' ,gf, 'v, ? .l , , , Nl ,P irli fr' I it A ' The Girls' Athletic Association has taken on a new and better meaning this year for the girls of the school. With Mrs. Davis' active and enthus- iastic guidance, the officers, lane Dean as president, Dorothy Tomlinson as vice-president, and lean Trone as secretary, have made the year active and entertaining. Any girl may join G. A. A., but, once a member, she must follow the state rules for earning points and yearly awards. There are many differ- ent ways of getting points, but it takes loyal workers to keep up the work. That the girls like the work was proven when the seventy-five old members added thirty-three new ones to their list. Club activities started this year with the election of officers. Then names were drawn from senior members to see who got to go to the Beards- town play-day. The girls enjoyed themselves so much they asked permission to hold a play-day at Rushville, which they did later in the year. Next was a volley ball tournarnnt which the junior class members won. Initiation, both daytime or informal initiation and the candlelight service, brought the new members in properly. The basketball tournament was next, followed by heart-sister week and the tea and dance at the Virginia. Every girl was on her best behavior that week. Mrs. Davis brought in some original ideas and among the results were two hikes for the girls. These were a tin-can hike and an overnight hike, and on these hikes the girls packed their own equipment and did all their work. A softball tournament was the last event before the presentation of awards at the end of the year, a year everyone in G. A. A. thoroughly enjoyed. x67x Mdxnfl' f'7IAJ' A ,lf Kf'f 'V'1 A 'A' ' ' ' '--V, Pe Qluh ani Cheer Leaders . , . ff f X'-'fi ,IG pf 4 I - ' ' ' ' f Ay, , V f ,. 4,1 f..- 743, I 94- , ,,,,-44, K: -H, ug f 1-Jn' , 1 , , - . ,. --'ff -,' z,,V,, ,f -d F, L 1' 'aff vf -,fi-11 ,fi ,,4fA,N 1 J .,,,-tj I ,I fftzdl I ,S ' 15,6 ,114 ,fl 1 .2 f vfbgq, 14,06 fizf., U 4,,,C,Z,. f-412 a,QQ7'UQwQ2,H wif fffwwo 'ffefdg 47211-fu ai?gJ1S4i52qfQ,4ziSe51'?a':1'i O'U1IJ6h69I'lli!g'-S9 - fhQ6BEflw1fP9,VQ3 e I el through their qfd CR? we- beers? wet?
