Our carefree days of all play and no work came to an end when school bells rang in 1947. Our first big accomplishment in kindergarten was learning to tie our shoes. Our local civil war began in first grade when we took the sides of the North and South. Half-day holidays were abolished in favor of seven-hour school days during which we learned Readin', Ritin', and 'Rithmetic. We presented the greatest jazz this side of Louie Armstrong with our triangles, sticks, and tambourines. In second grade, our egos inflated as we rode through town on the fire engine. The operetta PETER RABBIT marked the beginning of our acting careers. J. Schmitz and B. Carter represented our class by hopping around the stage as Flopsie and Mopsie. We returned to the stage two years later in SEASON OF HAPPINESS. Our performances were so outstanding that by popular demand we presented SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS in fifth grade. R. Miller was quite the Prince Charming as he awakened J. Lindner with a kiss. At the age of ten, those of us at the South side knew we were growing up when we were given the responsibility of guiding the younger students across the highway. We were now Safety Patrolmen. We were rewarded for our good work with a picnic. Also this year Little Oscar visited us in his Oscarmobile and gave many of us whistles and his autograph. Seventh grade marked the end of our civil war, and we were reunited at the W. W. Woodbury school. We now worked together to challenge other schools in basketball. Our team was victorious at the tournament with B. Carter, C. Ferden, J. Voga, and M. Weber leading our cheers. Although we were rowdy on the snowball field, we proved in our dancing lessons that we could be ladies and gentlemen. We were given a preview of high school life when we spent the first part of eighth grade in the high school. In January we were happy to be demoted to our new junior high building. Girls as well as boys showed their strength helping to carry desks and equipment on moving day. Our dancing lessons paid off when we whirled around the floor at our junior high prom to the music of Colby's Combo. We're back again! This time we were full-fledged freshmen. Everyone worked hard on our first class project, our Homecoming float Earlville Will Smell De-feet. Brrr, I'm cold and My toes are frozen were common remarks on the night of our ice skating party planned by J. Fish, our president, and the other class officers. M. Weber was chosen as cheerleader this year and retained this honor every year. B. Carter served us for three years, and C. Ferden took over Bonnie's position our sophomore year. We found that being silly sophomores was more fun than being frantic freshmen. With B. Tope as our leader, our second year in high school seemed to fly. The long awaited day arrived! We selected our class rings. Our girls felt honored when given the privilege of serving at the Jr -Sr. Banquet. Senior president J. Eriksson presented the key of seniority to J. Lindner, who wished the seniors luck in the future. Later at the high school, the white carpet was rolled out and the court paraded up the aisle toward the throne. Our theme song, Sayonara, was playing as R. Miller crowned C. Phelper queen. Her attendants were B. Carter, J. Lindner, J. Schmitz, and M. Weber, escorted by D. Adache, D. Cave, J. Potter, and T. Werner. Kim Colbe and Pat Grady were very cute as crown bearers. Our vari-colored lanterns, pond, bridge, and torii transformed the gym into truly an Oriental Paradise. I'm a senior! It seemed impossible that we were saying these words already. This year we chose R. Miller as our big chief. Our Indians won the Homecoming game, and afterwards B. Carter reigned at the dance. J. Fish, our football captain, was her escort, and senior members of the court were J. Lindner, M. Weber, and D. Dwyer. Lollipops and candy canes danced on the walls at our Christmas dance, Candy Cane Capers. Our original decorations brought everyone into the Christmas spirit. Ghosts and monsters invaded the auditorium when we presented the senior play, GHOST WANTED. We felt that M. Zimmerlein should have won an Oscar for his outstanding performance as Hugo. Our high school days were climaxed with the memorable events of class night, baccalaureate, and graduation. As we go our various ways, some to college, others to work, we'll all remember the enjoyable times we had together. We'd always been told that the junior year was the best, and now we found it to be true. We chose J. Lindner to lead us through our most active year. There was a noon-hour rush at the jewelry store when we found that our class rings had arrived. In our eyes, Homecoming was a big success. We won first prize on our float, We're Ordering a Victory, and were represented on the court by B. Carter, C. Phelper, M. Weber, J. Fish, and D. Dwyer. Although we tramped through every yard and cornfield in town, we couldn't find the seniors in the Jr - Sr. Hunt. Therefore, we were obliged to treat them to cocoa and doughnuts. We sponsored a donkey basketball game in which our junior boys beat their dads. The players as well as the crowd had a wonderful time and the following week the drug store had a rush on liniment. We're afraid many people thought it quite natural when we portrayed the inmates of an insane asylum in THE CURIOUS SAVAGE. We discovered who the real workers of our class were on the nights preceding the Junior Carnival. What satisfaction we received when the gym was completed and the people began to arrive! Shaving cream flew, balloons popped, children laughed; then everything grew quiet as we left for the Haskin school where our dance was held. The music of the Squares ended a perfect evening. The prom, the biggest event of the year, finally drew near. We'll all remember the day before the prom when our pond sprang a leak, covering part of the gym floor with water. The evening began with our banquet in the Haskin gym. Chinese coolies shuffled in to serve us. T. Werner and J. Fair-clough, Boys' State winners, look over J.

Seventy-one members of the class of '61 began their active year by winning second place in the class division on their Homecoming float, We'll Slide to Victory. They sold yellow mums for the Homecoming dance. The junior play, Down to Earth, came November 13, followed by the Mardi Gras, a carnival, variety show sponsored by the Student Council, and dance on March 26. May was the high point in the year for the juniors as they made preparations for the prom and banquet on May 21. P. Lindner and B. Scents served on a committee to plan the Senior Human Relations Conference at Northern Illinois University. L. Buttels, P. Curran, and R. Brimicombe participated in the All-State Band and Chorus concert at the University of Illinois. Class advisors were Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Lindner, and Mr. Underwood.

As fearless freshmen we found our way around with few embarrassing moments. Our first class activity was gathering material for the pow-wow bonfire. J. Foster, dressed as an Indian, lit the fire with a flaming torch. Our class float, We're Russian to Victory, was entered in the Homecoming parade. Already we felt that we were part of the high school. A new course, Geography, acquainted us with different lands and world problems. Soon we began improving our skill in gym class. Latin students received gold sword pins and became familiar with Salve, magistra. French students greeted each other in the halls with a friendly Bonjour. Our brains went to work to find the value of x. Pencil leads were worn down writing English themes. The work and effort put forth proved valuable, for 30% of the students were on the honor roll at mid-semester. J. Ferris, P. Hubbard, and F. Boner were in the speech contest. We'll never forget our class party held in Feb. It was a remarkable tobogganing party as no broken bones were reported. Pop and popcorn were devoured while we danced in the cabin. Most of us worked hard and hope to make our high school years successful. J. Wright prepares to plane a board.

Fine teamwork and excellent coaching combined to form an improved varsity team at Sandwich this year. Led by coach Underwood, the Indians ended the season with a conference record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie, which placed them in a tie for third place with Yorkville. Throughout the season our opponents were scouted by Mr. Barrett, who supplied us with valuable information. Captain for the season was our fine quarterback, Jim Fish. Next year's cocaptains will be Bob Whiteis and Allen Helin. At the end of the season the conference coaches elected Allen Helin, a junior, as an All-Conference tackle. He is one of the bright prospects for the Indians' 1960 season. Voted to the second All-Conference team were Tom Werner and Dave Dwyer. The outlook for next fall is bright, mainly because there will be eleven returning letter-men. s Underwood and Cooper Rollo Foste- -Halfback Dave Dwyer--End J inebacker Tom Werner--Center VtTY Indians' Fresh-Soph, team wins 3 games and loses 4.

Despite many losses, the Junior Varsity had a fighting spirit. They showed it when they defeated Waterman in the Little Ten Fresh.-Soph, tournament after they had been badly defeated by the same team only two weeks earlier. Coach Underwood is confident that the little Indians will bring a better record to Sandwich next year. There are many promising freshmen who will probably play regularly next season. The most exciting games were those against Le-mont and the second game against Yorkville. The Indians won both games, the first by the score of 46 to 43 and the second, 72 to 68. Got a complaint, Joe? The Indians' varsity team did well against most Little Ten competition this year. Sandwich finished second in all five regular season meets and anticipates a fine team for the next few years. Coach Underwood did an excellent job of organizing a team composed largely of underclassmen. There were ten varsity lettermen this year. They were N. Liepins, D. Cave, L. Casey, J. Wasson, R.

Pennants bearing the players' names decorated the walls along with silhouettes of football players. The coronation was centered around a black and orange goal post.

After considerable effort on the part of the seniors, the gym looked expertly decorated. Couples danced under a red-and-white striped ceiling, with an enormous candy cane suspended from the center, while Santa and his team galloped across the wall.

The evening began at the Haskin School with the sophomore Southern Belies serving the Virginia baked ham dinner to the juniors, seniors, faculty, and school board members. Their long, hoop-skirted dresses added greatly to the Southern atmosphere. Other decorations at the banquet included Spanish moss, candles, butterflies, and a mural. E. Prestegaard was the m.c. for the program following the dinner. Highlights of the program were a duet by K. Hardersen and P. Lindner who sang the theme song, Raintree County, the Sr. Sextet singing Sayonara, and the presentation of the key of seniority to D. Potter by R. Miller. The gala festivities then moved to the high school for the crowning of the Raintree County king and queen, R. Martin and J. Hough. D. Risk and R. Rogers were the cute crown bearers. The court began the evening of dancing with the music furnished by Lew Harker and his orchestra. The night in the South was enhanced by the beautifully decorated gym and highlighted by blue indirect lighting. A large colonial mansion with white pillars lined one wall of the gym and a carriage house complete with harnesses and bridles made an enclosure for the orchestra. A blossoming crabapple tree carried out the theme of the prom. A mural picturing the Mississippi River with a showboat paddling downstream and its banks showing country towns and farmlands, a grassy hilltop for the crowning, the punch table, and archways and trellises with red roses made a delightful setting for the 1960 prom.
