Problems, such as the balancing and ap- proving of a budget on which the school can operate, securing specialty acts throughout the year, and the sale of athletic tickets are the matters the council settles. This year an intensive sale sponsored by this group produced marvelous results and guarantees the purchase of much-needed equipment for the coming year. Although, plans are being made for a com- plete reorganization of the council later in the year, from trom bers. it is now organized with a representative each class and two, a boy and a girl, the senior class, and five faculty mem- The student and faculty members are as- signed to various committees. The committees this year are: Finance. . Mr. McCaleb, Denny Trone Discipline ..... Mr. Briggs, Paul Taylor Athletic. . . .Mr. Wagner, Dick DeWitt Music-Literary ............ Mrs. Wells Dorothy Tomlinson Social ...,. Mrs. Davis, Nancy Dyson FIVE WISE MEN OF SCHUYLER School Board For the past year it has been Rushville's good fortune to have such capable members on the school board.

T ' 'L .' tl. 5 We little pigs entered Bushville High School in the fall of 1943. We were very green at first, but we soon learned our way around. We chose as our class officers, Cecil Herche, Dorothy Tomlinson, and Carrie Mae Rebman. Vlfe took part in many activities and hoped to be of some good to the school. Mary Louise l-louser, Emma l.ee White, and Cecil l-lerche were the members of our class that represented us in the contest that year. When we returned the next year as sopho- mores, we were a little bolder than before. This year we chose Bob Bunkle, Stanley Strong, and Dorothy 'Tomlinson as our class officers. We had manv members of our class in band and choir and Cecil Herche, Mary Louise Houser, and Emma Lee White again repre- sented us in the contest. Our junior year was a good year. With our two years of experience behind us, we were quite sure of ourselves. Cecil Herche, Marlyn Green, and Stanley Strong were chosen to guide us through this yearz Under the direction of Miss Lois Walworth, we presented the play, One Mad Night. Our cgst consisted of Cecil Herche, Stanley Strona, Dorothy Tomlinson, Maryln Green, Peter Park, Bob Runkle, Bob Wheelhouse, leanne Barnes, Beverly Wherley, Doris Corbridge, Eloise Grate, Delores Wilmot, Don Cook, and Dick DeWitt. They all worked .r U . T 9 I . I President Stanley Strong Vice-President Harold Tyson Secretary Irene Davis n Sponsors Mrs. Wells Mr. McCaleb Mr. Shank O hard to make the play a success. Others who deserve much credit for making the play a success were: The stage crew, consisting of Bob Coles, Paul McMullen, and Cecil Murfing the properties and publicity committee, con- sisting of Louise Naught, Pat Roberts, Patsy Botts, and Irene Davis, the prompter, Barbara Parrotteg and the man in charge of lights, Earl Moore. Cecil l-lerche and Emma Lee White rep- resented us in the contest aaain. We enter- tained the Seniors at the Stork Club with ap- propriate decorations and food. This was a fitting climax to our junior year. Now that we are Seniors and the end is drawing near, we realize that we have spent four golden years in Rushville High School, which by this time has become Rushville Com- munnity High School. Stanley Strong, Harold Tyson, and Irene Davis are our faithful class officers. Mary Louise Houser and Barbara Parrotte are the cheerleaders from our class. We feel very dignified but also very sad when we remember that after graduation we will all be going different ways and may not see each other very often, but we all hope to meet again many times. We hope that we have been a help to R. C. H. S. during our four years here, and we lrnow that we have learned many les- sons at R. C. H. S. that will help us to make successes of our lives.

These little piggies stand in the shadow of the seniors ever ready and anxious to take over for them. They began their responsibilities of leadership at R. C. H. S. with lim Tyson as their president. Soon the seniors will step out and to the juniors will fall the responsibility of maintaining the ideals which the senior piggies have cherished for four glorious years. This year the juniors did very Well with their class play, The Late Mr. Early. i They also participated in G.A.A., F.l-l.A., F.F.A., glee club, Echo Staff, choir, cheerleading, football, basketball, track and band. These little piggies have contributed a lot to R. C. H. S. during their first three years. They have nearly reached their goal and are very proud to think that they too, are gaining the success they seek. s179 4? fs E f Q rv 'f V' rA,,,..-4 fi I f- N-.ff -19 utr, if N PY' -sr 'Q 9 5., ' 'X ..-14 is X fi 'XM 450 QV' ,ee IUNIORS Gene Acheson Harold Ambrosius Mariorie Anderson Iackie Barding Margie Barding Byron Bartlow Doris Bedenbender Robert Black Cynthia Boyd Beverly Burns Ierrilee Cain Robert Cannon Dolores Casteen Don Chipman Carmen Coffey Mary Cook Wayne Conrad Bob Corman Dale Crone Sally Crow Danny Demaree Dwight Demaree Barbara De Moss Franklin Derry Erma Downs Mary F.

The sophomore piggies elected Mickey Plunkett as their leader this year, and under his guiding hand they are slowly mounting rung by rung the top of the ladder of success. They can laugh at the fears of the freshmen and scorn the seriousness of the seniors. These little piggies have taken part in many activities. They have parti- cipated in such activities as: Glee Club, F. F. A., G. A. A., F. H. A., cheerleading, basketball, football, choir, band, majorettes, library, and Echo Staff. With two years to go they are slowly gaining a foothold and when they reach their senior year, they too will have attained their goals.

These little pigs, with Alan Stephens as their leader, are striving for the self-assurance of the sophomores. These little piggies have taken part in many activities: glee club, choir, F. H. A., F. F. A., cheerleading, and G. A. A. They are, however, especially outstanding in football. This year eleven of them went out for this sport, and are known to the team and their friends as good players. We expect to see them next year: Bob Settles, Clyde Todd, Duane Smith, Ralph McCormick, Alan Stephens, Eugene Hulvey, Ronnie Boehm, Bob Draine, Myron Baskett, Iohn Dean, and Willis Wells. This year marks the beginning of a new life, in new surroundings, and with new friends, a year never to be forgotten.

Dear Mother Goose, Are you quite sure you want to hear about what has been happening out here in civiliza- tion? You people of story-book-land probably think we have a dull time of it, don't you? We admit it isn't all fun but-well, why don't you put on your spectacles, pull your chair over close, by the window, and read what's been happening for the last year? SEPTEMBER September 3rd!!! That was a big day! We Seniors of Rushville Community High School started our last year of school! I guess it was something we'd all looked forward to as far back as we could remember. The school had just started a new system of hour classes and Gee! we got so tired just sitting! We were off to a good start when we had our class officer election the lOth. Then on September 12, things really began to hum. The first meeting of choir, G. A. A. and Re-Echo staff took place all on that one day. Our first football game was on Friday the l3th! That just positively wasn't even fair-no wonder we lost, was it? We had another game then the 20th at lndustry. School was dis- missed at noon. The Freshmen and Sopho- mores had a game at Abingdon the 2lst. And what's more, thev beat! We had a Student-Faculty Council election the 24th. The 27th was quite a day! In the afternoon we beat Abingdon. Then that night we had the Get-Acquainted Party. First there was a picnic in the grade school yard followedby a very dignified pantomime given by the teachers. Then everyone went down to the gym for games and dancing. September 30th Mr. Dividian gave the first of a series of different speeches on Inter- national Understanding. ' OCTOBER Do you know what happened the very first day of October? Mrs. Wells celebrated her first wedding anniversary! The popular expression of the day seemed to be- l can just see those watermelons shin- ing in the moonlight! Some of us still can't figure out what everyone was talking about!! CHQ! We had a football game at Monmouth the 4th, jacksonville the llth, the 25th was the Havana game, and then of course the 18th was the Homecoming game with Bushnell! That night was the dance with Boots Brennan's orchestra and our Queen was crowned. Except for the absence of our Captain, everything was perfect. Of course, we seniors couldn't possibly be partial-! Teachers' institute was on Friday, the llth. Lucky for us, but the poor teachers! A very interesting scientist fMr. White! lec- tured on atomic energy. Halloween!! Had a party in the gym with dancing and games. NOVEMBER We tied in Lewistown game, November lst. November llth was Armistice Dayfan all- day vacation and the Beardstown game in the afternoon. That would be enough for any day! The girls had their chance of a life time on Sadie Hawkins' Day, the Zlst. No doubt, the boys are glad it doesn't come but once a year! Where did all the time ao? November 22nd was the end of the second six weeks as well as the first basketball game! Gee, we really had a full schedule this year. Oh yes, the 28th was Thanksgiving. How we love vacations! KZQD Galemlaa DECEMBER Basketball game at Lewistown-Srd. Then the 4th was our Beardstown game which cer- tainly was exciting even if we did lose! 15th-The school choir and all the church choirs were united in presenting this year's Vesper Service. Everyone was all excited over Christmas. We just couldn't seem to study. Wasn't that peculiar? Two lovely, luxurious weeks for va- cation-from the 20th to the 2nd of january. IANUARY Oh gee! That was one of the weeks we had three games-7th, 9th, and 10th. Quincy, Mt. Sterling, and Lewistown. And then came those Semester exams! l6th-17th. That was the time everyone started wondering just why he hadn't studied a little more, anyhow! Let's see, it was sometime in Ianuary that we all decided maybe the war wasn't over after alll People suddenly became so clumsy! They seemed to keep dropping books-or something! On the 24th the teachers had their second day of school this year-institute, in case you hadn't guessed. FEBRUARY Dear me! The 7th was another one of those Beardstown games. Another busy week-Monday, 10th began Heart Sister week as well as being Re-Echo Day. The Re-Echo staff presented a program in which time marched backward but all the stu- dents marched forward to subscribe for their l94'7 Re-Echo. Then the 12th was Lincoln's Birthday, as you know, with an all day vaca- tion. Va1entine's Day, 14th ended the Heart Sister Week with a dance at the Virginia for the girls. The very last basketball game for this year was the 28th-Mt. Pulaski. MARCH We didn't do half bad in the Regional Tour- nament f3-7f this year-but gee! wouldn't it have been wonderful if we could have beaten Beardstown? Now a person would expect things to kinda let down a little after basketball season was all over and done with but nope, it wasn't long 'till the boys were out running about in their long undies-um hum-track started. Then too-the Operetta, Bon Voyage, re- quired quite a bit of time for practice. The big night was the 28th. G. A. A. Tournament Bowling APRIL Easter vacation was from the 4th to the 8th this year. Gee! We really needed a vacation after those six weeks tests! Since one of the office force took the nuptial vows the 13th fquess who?! we kinda speeded things up a little. But then it was wonderful when we got the tests over and done with. All that time just to loll in the Spring sunshine. CHC!! Our Spring Party was later than usual this year-llth. Carl Landrum's orchestra--at the Virginia. We could hardly believe it was time for the Geneseo track meet-but yup, it was-12th. Then before we knew it, there was the track meet at Galva the 25th. The 24th marked a bia event-the Senior Class Play- The Inner Willy. MAY Illinois Valley League Contest-first day of May. All the juniors and Seniors spent a Holi- day at Waikiki Beach-Znd. With Hawaii as our setting we visited the Royal Hawaian Hotel, where we were entertained by guests of the Hotel and natives of the beach. Our final track meet was the State District on the 17th. Now all the boys have little silver medals strung around their necks. By the way, I happened to notice a girl or two with one of those little medals-funny thing, um? The Seniors closed their books for the last time in Rushville High, the 2lst. But we still had lots of things left to do. Class Day, 24th, took quite a bit of time for practice, and then Baccalaureate was the 25th. The Alumni ban- quet was the 28th-this year we got to sleep late the next morning instead of slaving over Semester exams! Those poor kids! We finished things up the 29th-our corn- mencement. ln some ways it was a big relief, but some of us felt a big lump in our throats when we realized we really were all through with High School. ' Well, what do you think of us, Mother Goose? ls it too dull, too lively, or maybe just about right? No doubt your happy family has lots of fun too, but we wouldn't be much sur- prised if they wouldn't like to trade with us. C309 .ww shy Hear ye! Hear ye!

A, led by Mr. Green, is made up of boys interested in farming. During the year each boy has a project in connection with the farm which he exhibits at various fairs throughout this section of the country. Social activities aren't neglected either, for during the year they combine forces with the Home Economics girls at a banquet and party and they enter- tain their dads royally at the Father-Son Banquet. They are developing initia- tive and leadership which will improve their community. They are truly the farmers of tomorrow. Mr. Green, their adviser, with the help of the following officers: President, Iohn l-lenninger, Vice-President, Danny Demaree, Secretary, Harold Tyson: Treasurer, Byron Bartlow, Reporter, Lyle Robertsong and Sergeant-at-Arms, Buford Hughes, control the activities. The purpose of the organization is to develop rural and agricultural leadership and improve,the standards of farming in the community. We agree that they are well fitted for the task of Future Farmers of America. 44342 4.414 4 JL14. Polly Put thp Kvttlv On The year 1946-47 has been a very successful year for the Future Home- makers of America. Monthly meetings were held in the class room. ln the fall a program was made out for the year. Some of the special activities were as follows: twenty-two new members initiated this year: in December their Christmas party with caroling afterward' the lanuary and February meetings were given over to the discussion of a point system, in May the Mother-Daughter Tea, and they took over the care of the Girls Lounge. This year the organization was proud to include fifty-tive members. The activities were led by Miss Switzer and the officers: President, lean Trone, Vice-President, Patsy Henningerg Secretary, Nancy Tuttg Chairman of Publicity, Sally Io Mills, Social Chairman, Marialene Goodwin. Their' activities of the year included the successful planning of the parties of the year and promot- ing an interest in the activities of the club. This last summer the P. H. A, Club was able to send two delegates to the State Camp at East Bay, Bloomington, Illinois. This has indeed been an interesting and entertaining year for the P. H. A 44 35 bb Sing.

They sang at the Union Thanksgiving service, for Lenten services, and gave a spring concert. From the choir Mrs. Strong chose sixteen singers to represent the high school in the lllinois Valley League con- test, The operetta Bon Voyage was presented by members ot the choir.

Early to bed, and early to rise, Makvs a man healthy, wealthy, and wisef' The Late Mr. Early was the hilarious farce picked by the Iuniors for their class play, presented November 15th. Under the expert direction of Mr. Henry Horn, the play emerged as one of the best presented here in recent years. The plot concerned a husky, handsome young man, Don Early, very much alive who believed himself dead, Furthermore, there is a beautiful young woman, who agreed with him. The plot, though complicated and ne- cessitating the use of the audiences' imagina- ticn, was like this: Don Early is a reckless young fool who doesn't know the meaning of the phrase, Safe- ty First. I-le's engaged to marry a sweet young thing who sits at home and trembles every time he goes up in his plane-a flimsy old crate he's patched together-risking his own life and his friends' for the sake of a few thrills.

The football game, the band parading on the football field followed by an appropriately decorated jeep in which the queens rode was especially colorful. The coronation of the queen that night at the homecoming dance capped the climax . Beautiful and dignified were the ceremonies. A court of honor composed of senior girls and their football escorts entered followed by the class queens, Maryln Green, Senior queen, Dorcas Pickinpaugh, lunior queen, Mardell Corman, Sophomore queen, and Marilyn Barnes, Freshman queen- with their escorts, and finally the queen herself, Barbara Parrotte escorted by Norman, Cox. Norman presided at the Coronation itself taking the place of Captain Dick DeWitt unable to attend because of illness. Although Bushnell handed us a 7-O defeat, the homecoming was indeed a great success. G45D uniaa-Seniaa Naam ulhlllfl' rrlrvn f'Ull'l'1' liltla-, flalrrv' with ll will.

The most coveted awards Rushville Community High School offers to any student, are the scholarship and the scholarship-activity awards. The scholar- ship award is given to those students who have attained high grades scholas- tically, and the scholarship-activity award to all those who not only have an unusual scholastic standing but also have taken active part in extra-curricular activities. This year only one qualifies. That person is Emma Lee White whose scholastic record is above average and who during her four years has partici- pated in numerous activities. She has been especially connected with musi- cal activities, played in contests, acted as accompanist for operettas, choir, Minstrel show, played in the band, as well as served on committees, and the Re-Echo staff-to mention a few. Whatever she did, she did well and was always dependable. She was chosen by the faculty and classmates as worthy to receive the D. A. R. citizenship award. Q47m Maauand During the last twenty-five minutes of the study period, the period librar- ians: Corbin Stambaugh, Marion Chadsey, Dolores Casteen, Wanda Gust, and Grace Heller check out magazines, papers, and reference books. During the seventh hour Bernadine McCombs, Barbara Davis, Patsy Botts, and Donna Botts check out fiction books. Mary Bovey, in addition to the ones mentioned above, takes her turn checking in books before school starts in the morning. The librarian work this year is easier because most of the reference mater- ial is in the classrooms instead of in the library, since the study period is held during the regular class hour. This group under the supervision of Mrs. Wells have done and are doing a fine job this year. C483 H I - f,e,, , ,f . 4 Y ff? y ,X lg Bum Bumpcty, bumpvty, bu mp Must be the busses coming!

Phillips, Hughes With seven returning lettermen, Coach Wagner's squad looked very prom- ising at the beginning of the season. Led by Captain DeWitt, the Rockets started a tough schedule by playing Notre Dame of Quincy. The team was held back all season by injuries to key players. After the lacksonville game, which was undoubtedly the best of the season, the boys lost their l'zip because of the loss of their captain who was seriously injured. Bob Toland was elected captain for the remainder of the year. He handled this responsibility well and the team was beginning to regain their spirits by the end of the season. Although the scores were unfavorable, the Rockets proved to be a tough and fighting team. With only five men graduating, the football future looks bright for R. C. H. S.

The Rockets started their heavy schedule in November with four returning lettermen. By winning the first two games, the coming season looked promis- ing. However, as the team progressed farther into the schedule, the competi- tion proved to be too strong. Such teams as Mt. Pulaski, Clinton, Wood River, and Beardstown, which were all highly rated in the state, were too much for a team of the Rocket's caliber. Led by Dick Patterson, the team placed third in the Spoon River Conference. To climax the season, they advanced to the second game of the Regional tournament, where they were beaten by the strong Beardstown team. Coach Wagner's prospects for next year have been greatly bolstered by the fine material which received useful experience in the freshman-sophomore games this season.

There will be twelve lettermen returning from last year. They are: Toland, DeWitt, Herche, Cook, Hopkins, Corman, Rabedeaux, Gregory, Huston, Cox, Allen and Patterson. For the past two years the Rockets have had a very tough schedule. They have entered the Galva and Geneseo Relays, which are among the best in the state. Although in former years Rushville has not placed in these two meets, they have always proved to be good competition by scoring several points. This year's team will be better balanced.

Bowling, volley-ball, basket shooting and the annual Heart-sister Week, are only a few of the many activities which the G. A. A. successfully sponsored this year. Bowling was organized into teams of girls who competed each week, and in the State contest, Pat O'Malley placed third for individual high score. This is a record of which we can be proud, considering that this is the iirst year we have had access to a bowling alley. ln the basket-shooting contest and the volley-ball tournament, the organ- ization was equally as successful, As in every other project launched by the organization, they had the full support and enthusiasm of every member, May we thank Mrs. Davis here for her splendid leadership and diligent work in promoting this organization and making it the most active of all in the school. fi 532 2 y, ,fd ' Gimm- I , - Wlierever the Rockets go, they were cheered on and supported by an ever ready and ener- getic group of followers. Who was responsi- ble? The Cheerleaders. Through their hard work and loyalty, we have been able to cheer loudest in the face of defeat. Those eight en- thusiastic gals have done much to raise the school spirit of R. C. H. S.
