HELEN HARTZ We feel that it is only fitting that when board members of the school retire after several years' service that some means of recognition is given them. We are taking this opportunity to give that recognition to two members who have served the Sheffield Community Consolidated School faithfully and diligently for several years. . Mr. A. W. Boyden has served as President of the School Board for a period of 24 years this past April. Mrs. Hartz has served on the Board for nine years during which time she has been a member of the teacher committee and has taken a vital interest in interviewing prospective teachers and in helping to select the best teacher possible from the list of applicants. They have given unsparingly of their efforts to keep the Sheffield school one of which the Sheffield community can Well be prou'd. iwi 4 4 wg . X ,.,. . ,Ms -:- .- A.: 9 l , 9 ' ,T 5:55. .

This year the annual statt was chosen from the entire senior class and was under the supervision of Mr. Harlan, Mrs. Burgess, and assisted by Mrs. Harlan. The 1948 CARDINAL Was a project carried on outside of class. Nancy Towne and David Gritiin, as business managers under the able direction oi Iulie Giltner, editor, and Tommy Cole, co-editor, are to be commended tor the tine job. As Was, and will be, the desire of every senior class to publish a bigger and better annual, the 1948 class believes they have. They have attempted to execute some new ideas this year, and they hope they Will meet with your understanding and approval. In this way they have tried to do their share in paving the Way for a more successful an- nual each year. lt is their sincere hope that they have fulfilled the expectations of the school and the public in the publication ot this THE l948 CARDINAL. l15l Nancy Towne, Marilyn Madsen, Patty Dean, Dauphine Sipes, Norma Town, Shirley Sipes, Donna Wilhelm THE FLAG COMMITTEE The Flag Committee consists of those students who volunteer to take the responsibility of seeing that the flag is taken care ot properly. This is a re- sponsibility that neither should be, nor is taken lightly. Our school law pro- vides tor the display of our national emblem every day that the Weather permits, The spirit ot cooperation that exists among the members of the committee is representative of the spirit that exists in the school and it is this same spirit that makes the Sheffield schools a pleasant place in which to Work and to teach. tw f X if ,O fm N WKWQQ It UL ig , N M 1: X FQ 1 2 WA SF fy? rl' M X hWf 'if 4' X X-5 AW I 1-F-A A L L- u Ja FRESHMAN INITIATION The Senior Class of '48 played host to a group of strange looking Freshies, on September l9, 1947. The Freshmen came to school dressed as comic strip characters and were so affectionate towards the Seniors, that they greeted them with Hello Beautiful and Hello Handsome while sitting prone on the floor. Mustaches and goatees adorned their faces and lipstick was added to the more forceful types. At noon the bedraggled Freshies pulled the Seniors uptown in play wagons and wheelbarrows. What a ridel The Freshmen almost broke a record getting up there so quickly. After eating their lunches they pulled the Seniors back to school . . . Slow, now, as they were growing a little rebellious. Mrs. Burgess, however, decided Mr. Baehrend wasn't such a good chauffeur at pushing her in a wheelbarrow, so she consented to ride back to school in the car. So did Mr. Baehrendl That night, the curtain went up on a group of black-faced minstrels. David Griffin acted as master of ceremonies. First came Iessie Owens Mary Ann Iohnson and Buddy Young Roberta Crockett, attired in track suits, racing madly around the gym. Everyone de- cided it was a tie. We had a great celebrity with us. Al Iolson Donna Schuetts favored us with one of his famous songs-actions and all. Ioe Louis Marilyn Mowrey gave an exhibition of shadow-boxing while Bochester Glenna Hopkins retired with a stomach-ache from his gal's cooking. l17l The Four lnk Spots appeared in the persons of Teddy Ioann Vander Meersch, Rastus Betty Ann 'Cathelyn, Sambo Dorothy Bills, and Hiram Robert Schoffstall. They o'bliged us with their version of ln the Gloaming, and to hear them sing it, you Wouldn't have recognized the old song. Miranda Iones Raymond Lootens and Iennie Washington Raymond Lynch appeared with scrub pails and proceeded to wipe up the milk that White Chile lim Sprague spilled from his bottle while supposedly resting in the arms of Mammy Billy Griffin. All the children in the audience were delighted to see Uncle Remus Mil- dred Mott appear on the stage to tell them a story. lt was quite a story, too! Aunt Iemirna Richard Madsen had a proposal from George Washington Carver Carrie Ellen Hasbrook. She wouldn't give him her answer at the time. She likes to keep 'em guessing! We had a pianist of radio and movie fame with us. Hazel Scott lim De- Bates played his own rendition of Symphone in thirty-two flats! Duke Ellington Baehrend came straight from the Edgewater Beach Motel to be with us. He and his band played the traditional Ulingle Bells. His band was the entire minstrel cast. Sugar Robinson Shirley Buckman says, Fairies sit on Fairy Tales! Quite an understatement, don't you think? Iimmy lennifer Iones Laurel Keelan tried to top this by telling a yarn about elephants and daisies. Lena Horne 'Tommy Nelsen was bashful about appearing, but he finally favored us with a song. Sadie Simpson Brian Rodgers, Sophine Snooker Bobby Miller, and Lena joined in a fast jitterbug for us. lt was quite the dance! Duke Ellington led his band in the grand finale and the curtain came down on a group of exhausted but happy Freshmen. The Senior dance followed with music furnished by Iulian Heene's orchestra. The gym was decorated in true southern style. A small log cabin was the center of interest, and fences and flowers completed the scene. The following freshmen were initiated: Marilyn Mowrey, Laurel Keelen, Donna Schuetts, Carrie Ellen Hasbrook, loanne Vander Meersch, Dorothy Bill, Roberta Crockett, Betty Cathelyn, Bill Griffin, Richard Madsen, Raymond Lynch, Robert Schoffstall, Robert Miller, Glenna Hopkins, Mary Ann Iohnson, Raymond Lootens, Tommy Nelsen, lim Sprague, lim DeBates, Brian Rodgers.

They came to school dressed as comic strip characters in the afternoon. In the evening they were happy black faced minstrels having an enjoyable evening and fun dancing. l The class Went roller skating for their first party, and are looking forward to another party in the spring. They Will hold the annual Freshman dance, too. Black and green were selected for the class colors. These colors Will be used in making the banner which was designed by loanne Vander Meersch.

The new members joining the class during the year were loanne Hurley, Dick Lanphere, and Donna Malmquist. l19l SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomore class enjoyed a skating party in Kewanee, September 24, at the Roller Rink. A school bus furnished transportation. The group skated from 7 until 9 o'clock. F. H. A. INITIATION The Future Homemakers of America initiated new members on the eve- ning of September 30, in the Home Economics room.

DRAMATIC CLUB INITIATION Phi Pi High School Dramatic Club initiated nine new members in down- town Sheffield on the evening of October l4. Various stunts were executed on Main Street and then the members retired to the high school.

Election of new officers was held before the meeting was adjourned. ALL SCHOOL CARNIVAL The annual Sheffield Carnival was held October 24, at the High School. The public was entertained by bingo, raffle, target shoot, faculty play, music room show and various other concessions. The Home Ec. room was open all evening and food was served by the F. H. A. girls and boys. Dancing was en- joyed by julian l-leene's orchestra. A total of S700 was taken in, and after expenses were deducted, a profit of S550 was shown. A special attraction in the slides room was the showing of colored football pictures taken at our various games. SOPHOMORE DANCE The annual Sophomore dance was held November 7, in the school gym. Music was furnished by julian l-leene's orchestra. The gym was decorated in the class colors, blue and maroon. twi G. A. A. BOWLING PARTY The G. A.

The girls will be given points for this organized activity, to help earn their letters. Mr. and Mrs. Burgess accompanied the group. Sir FOOTBALL BANQUET I The football banquet, sponsored by mothers of the team members, was held at the high school on November lO, 1947. Colored films, taken by Mr. Harlan, of various home games, were shown to everyone present. The cheer- leaders were given special invitations this year to attend. Ruby Sprowls lulie Giltner Donna Wilhelm if JUNIOR BOWLING PARTY A group of fifteen Tuniors, Mr, and Mrs. Schwind, and Ann Nell Schwind, enjoyed a bowling party at the Oasis Bowling Alley in Princeton, November l9. The group met at the Dairy Bar and three cars afforded transportation for all. wi 4 A SHEFFIELD FOOTBALL FOR 1947 Sheffield can look back on a very successful 1947 grid season with a total of seven wins and one defeat to make a record of 35 wins out of the last 40 games for Coach Sturm's Cardinals. They chalked up the impressive score of 334 points to their opponents' 47. The local gridders won the non-conference opener with Ohio in a walk-away, 44 to 0. With a backfield that couldn't be overtaken and an impregnable line, Sheffield, under the able tutelage and inspiring leadership of Coach Wayne Sturm and assistant coach Fred Schwind, swept the field in all the following games, snowing Wyanet under in an ignominious 81 to 7 defeat and firmly trimming Neponset on our home field in a 54 to 0 slaughter. Coach Sturm cleaned the bench in the Ohio and Buda games, winning the first 46 to 0 and downing Buda in a field day 74 to 6. Then Sheffield met the very dangerous l..aMoil1e squad, who almost upset Manlius by leading them throughout the game till the last quarter. Again the local boys showed their spirit and ability by winning in a 40 to 0 landslide. This game was sparked by the admirable play of Kenny Dahl, the only four-year varsity letter man on the team. Kenny showed uncanny ability to foresee every enemy attack and stop the plays. He also accounted for six points after re- covering a fumble and running the distance to the end zone. But, even as mighty Rome fell, so Sheffield must-fighting to the last, but bowing to Man- lius on the night of October 31 . . . a losing battle, 27 to 12, in the Little 8 championship game. This game brought to the fore the football ability of Buddy Giltner whose goal line pass defense stemmed many of the Bed Devil advances and assured himself of a place on next year's team. But Manlius, experienced at playing under night lights and boasting a squad, well stocked with reserves, outplayed an undermanned Sheffield team that was playing its first game under the night lights-which fact bothered their famed passing attack and their pass defense. Manlius struck first with a long pass to the end zone. Then Sheffield rebounded as Dave Griffin showed his superb run- ning ability by dodging and twisting his way through the entire Manlius aggregation and tallying six points. Manlius again took the lead with a long pass and after a touchdown pass for Sheffield, heaved by Griffin to Nelsen, Manlius went on to win the game 27 to 12 on a series of passes. But, the sportsmanship and spirit that Coach Sturm had instilled in his team again showed through and they took the defeat in their stride. ln the final game of the season, and perhaps the last football game in the career of the eight senior boys, Sheffield wreaked revenge for their recent defeat and on a bitterly cold November 7 they felled Tiskilwa 27 to 7 to give the Cardinals undisputed second place in the Little 8 conference. The final standings follow: Team- Games Won Games Lost -Total Points Points for Opp. Manlius ......... .... 7 0 353 .37 Sheffield ....... . 6 1 334 47 LaMoille ....... . 5 2 196 129 Tiskilwa ......... . 4 3 187 l 14 Ohio ........... . 3 4 173 172 Wyanet ..... . 2 5 89 257 Buda .................... . 1 5 82 1 388 Neponset ...................... 0 7 47 205 As the first team was never definite during the season, Coach Sturm has named the following as first team letter winners: Kenny Dahl, Tommy Cole, lack Barry, lim Sullivan, Ierry Folk, Verne Moore, Dale Moore, David Griffin, i231 1 all of whom are Senior students. Letter winners from the lunior class were George Van Loo, Gene Andersen, and Buddy Giltner. Duane Nelson, of the Sophomore class, was also a letter winner. Other members of the squad who gained experience necessary to take the place of the eight retiring Seniors are: Dick Cole, Leonard Lambert, Noel Griffin, Iacob Fox, Ronald Vermeulen, Bill Griffin, Richard Madsen, Brian Rodgers, Robert Schoffstall, and Raymond Lootens. Sheffield had the fastest backfield in the Little 8 with Duane Nelson and Dave Griffin, two track stars, carrying the ball behind the expert blocking of halfback Dale Moore, who also had his share of the ball carrying. lt being necessary in a T formation for the quarterback to be a good passer, Dave Griffin took over the position and connected on many long ones to the glue- fingered ends, lack Barry, ferry Folk, and George Van Loo, and he also carried the ball enough to win top scoring honors in the Little The very important spot of center which requires experience and precision timing was ably filled by the veteran Senior Tommy Cole, whose lrish humor kept the team going in many tight spots. Tommy has been a bulwark in the line for three years and has exhibited outstanding play this season. And only a 'backfield man can know the importance of a good tackle in eight-man football and Sheffield had their share. The tackles in .S-heffield's forward wall were Kenny Dahl, lim Sullivan, Verne Moore, and Gene Andersen, although lim Sullivan was out in the middle of the season because of a ruptured appendix. The line play was sparked by Kenny Dahl, a four-year letter man in football and a constant source of irritation to the opponents as he was in on almost every play. The co-captains for the football season were Dale Moore and Dave Griffin. The team played the following games in the '47 season: We They September l9-Sheffield at Ohio Cnon-conference ....... ...... 4 4 U September 28-Sheffield at Wyanet ..............,.............. ...... 8 l 7 October 3-Neponset at Sheffield ...,.,.................. ...... 5 4 O October 9-Ohio at Sheffield .......... ...... 4 6 O October l7-Sheffield at Buda .......... ...... 7 4 6 October 23-LaMoille at Sheffield ...... ...... 4 U U October 31-Sheffield at Manlius ...,...............................,......,....... 12 27 November 7-Tiskilwa at Sheffield ................................................ 27 7 The Sheffield team had a large following of loyal rooters. The mothers of the football boys gave a very fine banquet for the members of the team and their fathers. The business men of Sheffield sponsored a trip for the entire squad to see the University of lllinois play Western Michigan at Urbana. This was something new for the fellows and they enjoyed it very much. The Senior football boys, under the direction of Coach Sturm, put on an all school party with games and dancing, with refreshments following the fun. Altogether it was a very successful and enjoyable season.

They totaled 1,480 points in the first and second team games. Sheffield took fourth in the Little 8 conference, but nearly de- feated the new little champs from Ohio in a thrilling game. Sheffield lost this tilt in an overtime 43-40 after leading throughout the entire game. The Cards also defeated Bureau Township early in the season 29-26, an accomplishment which Manlius was unable to repeat in loop tilts. Sheffield's downfall came when they played LaMoille on their floor. The local lads just couldn't seem to hit and LaMoille won 51-43. But for this defeat, Sheffield would have had a tie for second place. ' Sheffield didn't succeed in placing in the tourneys. Manlius seemed to be their jinx as they defeated them in both the Little 8 in the first game, and in the Oounty in the second game after Sheffield had previously routed Wyanet 60-43. In the District tournament Sheffield easily rolled over an outmanned and outclassed Lynden aggregation, 56-29. The next night Atkinson barely squeezed by them in a close game, 43-38. ferry Folk 6' l veteran center led the team in scoring with a count of 211 points. ferry consistently played good ball, and his ability to keep calm under stress was a valuable asset to the team in many close games. Ierry's best game was with Tiskilwa when he raked up 19 points. David Griffin, a Senior and the only three-year letterman on the team, played a fast dependable game as varsity guard and his sharpshooting tallied 154 points. The other guard was Duane Nelson, a Sophomore and youngest man on the team. Duane showed steady improvement throughout the season and developed an accurate long shot that pulled many a game out of the fire. lack Barry made good use of his 6' 1 frame playing forward. lack could always be depended upon to get the rebounds along with the other 6-foot forward, George Van Loo. George, the only Iunior on the team, played a fine game at forward and his 'long shot was a constant menace to the opponents. George accounted for 184 points, to take second in scoring honors on the team. He also succeeded in taking the free throw trophy with a percentage of 53.72. 1-le made 42 charity tosses out of 78 tries. These five boys made up the first team squad. Daniel Primo, who wasn't eligible until the second half of the season, quickly made use of his beautiful long shot so well known in Little 8 circles. During the Walnut game he staged a one-man last quarter rally, meshing five long shots in a row while the thrilled crowd watched him lead the Cards to a 44-43 victory. lt will be a long time before the fans forget that game. 1511 Dale Moore was another Senior with plenty of basketball- know how and a valuable man on the team. The co-captains on the first team were the three Seniors: Dave Griffin, ferry Folk, and lack Barry. The first team showed much improvement throughout the season and credit should also be given to the second team for a very successful season. The Frosh-Soph team was entered in a tournament at Annawan, but was de- feated in the first game by Atkinson. The following is a list of the letter winners and their individual scoring: fCon 'k Nov.

The occasion is, of course, the Iunior-Senior Prom. The Iuniors assure the Seniors that the theme is rather odd, but enchanting. l36l CLASS OF l 949 Twenty Freshmen started their careers in S. H. S. by electing their class officers: Patsy Hull, president, Richard Cole, vice presidentg Ruby Sprowls, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Schwind was selected as class advisor. The usual class parties and class dance were held. ln September of 1946 they met as Sophomores. Four of the former class- mates did not return. The new officers were Bud Giltner, president, George Van Loo, vice president, Robert Friend, secretary, and Ruby Sprowls, treas- urer. Mrs. Harlan was class advisor. When this group met in 1947-they were inspired for another big year. Mr. Schwind again was selected as advisor. The following were selected as officers: Richard Cole, president, Dauphine Sipes, vice presidentg Patsy Hull, secretaryg and Marianne DeMay, treasurer. They went bowling on their first class party and enjoyed the evening. The annual dance was held on February 6.

CLASS GF 1948 The class of l948 began their Freshman year with twenty-one members who were as follows: Henry Lootens, Delmar Peed, Verne Moore, Marianne Thomas, lim Sullivan, Conrad Gebeck, Norma Lee Floyd, Nancy Towne, Simona l-lortega, Phyllis Nestler, Donna Wilhelm, Betty Parks, Marilyn Mette, lack Barry, Warren Taylor, Daniel Primo, Kenneth Dahl, Tommy Cole, Dale Moore, lerry Folk, and David Griffin. Soon after the opening of school the following class officers were elected: Phyllis Nestler, president, Warren Tay- lor, vice president, Conrad Gebeck, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Sturm was class advisor. The Freshmen were heartily welcomed to high school at the Freshman initiation. After a busy day they were allowed to entertain at night. They held their first class party in October, in the form of a hayride. Their second class party was held at the Country Club where they had a picnic and scavenger hunt. The Freshman dance was held in April, with Skinny Blake and his orchestra. After entering their second year the class officers were elected as follows: David Griffin, president, lames Sullivan, secretary, and Donna Wilhelm, treas- urer. The class held a Halloween party and on March l they sponsored the annual Sophomore dance. As luniors they returned September 3, l946, and elected the following officers: Iarnes Sullivan, president, Donna Wilhelm, vice president, Iulie Gilt- ner, secretary, Nancy Towne, treasurer, and Marianne Thomas, sergeant-at- arms. Mrs. Burgess was selected as the class sponor. The annual Iunior dance was held November 22, with Doc Hunts orchestra furnishing the music. Two class parties were held, a barn dance in Cecil's new crib and a Valentine party in the Commerce room. Sponsoring the lunior-Senior prom was the special event of their Iunior year. As l947 came along, nineteen Seniors returned. Marianne Thomas and Warren Taylor having enrolled at Aurora and Manlius. The following class officers were selected: Henry Lootens, president, Verne Moore, vice president, Donna Wilhelm, secretary, Marilyn Mette, treasurer, and Simona l-lortega, sergeant-at-arms. Again Mrs. Burgess sponsored the group. ln September the Seniors welcomed the Freshmen to high school by the annual Freshman initia- tion and dance in their honor. Two class parties were held, one a bowling party at the Oasis bowling alley, Princeton, and one at the home of Iohn Cecil. Extensive plans are being made for the Senior trip in the spring. lQ44l BACCALAUREATE Sheffield Community Consolidated School May 23, l948-8 o'Clock Processional ..... ,.....,.......,.........,...,..,,......,.............

Garden walls en- twined with roses fenced in the dance floor. lt gave a very pleasing effect to the Seniors who will always look back to it as the highlight of their graduat- ing year.

Henry's wife, Marie, says that he told her that he owed the beginning of his career to the Dramatic Department of good old S. H. S. and its successful County plays. Phyllis Nestler, sole owner of the chain of restaurants called Nestle Inn, lnc. , flew down from Sheffield in her private robot controlled plane. Phyllis says that the advantages of her private plane are numerous. She can sleep all through her journeys and never worry about getting there on time. lt's just pure heaven! sighs Phyllis. Mr. and Mrs. David Griffin arrived in their new l959 three-wheel truck. Ioanne says they had to leave early because they ,left the neighbor girl to look after their four children. David is now owner of a large trucking and hauling business. He says he still has the old truck he started out with when he was a senior at S. H. S. Ierry Folk, owner of the Trixi-Poodle Kennels, and his wife, Virginia, found time to leave their large estate in the care of lerry's father while they journeyed to Hollywood for th big reunion. Virginia says ferry has made her chief Kennel Maid, but that doesn't keep him out of the proverbial dog house. Ierry says that his nationally famous Tec Biscuit and Twirl Away are still blue ribbon dogs. Verne Moore, the famous Hollywood cartoonist drove over from his Moonlight Boule- vard apartment in his new Chadillac. We have it on good authority that the teachers of Sheffield High have collected a large display of Verne's old test and theme papers on which he used to draw all of his famous cartoons. The collection is said to be worth around 55,000 There are those who say Verne is another Dalt Wisney. Verne modestly insists that it is nothing at all . . . Merely doing what comes naturally. Kenny Dahl, the inventor of the Dahl, Short, Soft, Guaranteed to Leave No,,fBumps, lack Handle, arrived in good shape. As usual, he couldn't talk his father into letting him have the car, but that's only a minor detail in Kenny's life. He's still a bachelor, but we hear he has quite a group of female admirers Che hopesl that are just waiting for him -.to 'tpop the question. The two Flying Farmers, Iohn and Donna Cecil, flew in from their five hundred acre farm north of Sheffield. They left their six children in the care of the respective grand- parents. Their farm is very prosperous and since lohn was once a Home Economic stu- dent, he sometimes gets supper while Donna rnilks the cows. A change of occupation never hurts anyone, says Iohn. Donna confides that lohn just loves to whip up a batch of his special Bullet Biscuits. Miss Nancy Towne, of the famous House of Eastmore Make-up'+Company and Ye Olde Hairdresser Shoppe, drove over in her new Austin. Nancy styles all the famous actors hair-dos. She says that it is fascinating work, and she is never all bleached out by the end of the day, as she would be if she were doing styles for the famous actresses. Never- the-less she has a most famous hair-do to her credit. It is called The Townea la Broom Sweep Special With Chin Length Bangs. V iv ,N Marilyn and lack Hand arrived rather late. It seems that they had a hard time getting a baby-sitter for lack lr. while they were at the reunion. Marilyn, before her marriage, was a famous drummer with Gay Lumbago's Orchestra. She had also played with Spike Smith's Band several times. She says she owes her success to the instructive and worth- while band rehearsals she attended while going to S. H. S. They were so quiet you could almost hear yourself think, remarks Marilyn. Dan Primo and wife arrived on time. Dan is now owner of a restaurant in Mineral. We could never quite understand why Dan always had a soft place in his heart for Min- eral. Now we know! Dan's only comment was, Does anyone want to know how to put a car motor together? Romantic, isn't he? lack Barry arrived excited and out of breath. Those doggone females chased me here, clear from Sheffield, he said as he sat down to rest and await the arrival of his best friend, Tommy Cole. It seems lack is always having woman troubles. Maybe it's his charming way of flirting, or maybe his bank roll. lack just winks and says, What do you wi mean, bank roll! It's my Irish personality that wows them! He is in military uniform now and we really can't blame the femme heads for turning when he saunters by. The next to arrive was Iack's friend, Tommy Cole. He is a big executive now and owns a large engineering firm. Tom says, No, that certain girl hasn't winked at me yet. But when she does, I am sure going to ask her for a date. We asked him which girl he meant and he said he didn't know yet, but when he sees her he'll know that she is the one. We left him happily watching out the window to see if one of the Hollywood beauties sauntering by was THE ONE. Good luck, Tommy. The popular Spanish dancer, Simona Hortega, arrived with clamor and excitement It seems that a troupe of suitors followed her across the border and refused to leave her side. Simona now resides in Mexico and is thrilling young and old with her rhythmic dances. Her most famous dance is entitled A la Sheffield S. H. S. Esquardosf' She grad- uated from there, you know, and she says a little plug for your old home town never hurts anyone. lim Sullivan brought us some potatoes from his scientific research farm west of Shef- field. jim calls it his Baked Potato Ranch. He is now working on an invention to raise mashed potatoes-cream, butler, and all. jim says, Maybe l'll find the answer to the potato famine in lreland. What is it they say about the brains of the Irish? Dale Moore arrived well and happy. He is an architectural engineer now and Works for a large firm in Langley, Illinois. We are told that he has been seen hitting the high spots with various girls but none seem to be serious. We asked him why he hadn't married but he just smiled and said, Well, when I get too interested in just one girl, I think, there always must be a prettier one just around the corner. Yes, it's the same old Dale! We left him looking around the corner of Hollywood and Vine-yes, you guessed it, looking for that prettier girl. lulie and George Van Loo were the next to arrive. lulie teaches Home Economics at Sheffield High now. She says the equipment is much better than it used to be. A new Atomic stove and refrigerator have been installed and all she has to teach her pupils is how to turn on the various switches and push-buttons. The new stove bakes, frosts, and cuts the cakes her pupils whip up. lsn't science wonderful? lulie's only comment is Boy, this is the life! as she leans back in her new air foam lounging chair she carries with her wherever she goes. Norma Lee and Bob Hughes just came in from Dingley, Illinois, where Bob now runs a large G-roker Store. Norma Lee is a housewife and she says she enjoys it very much. She was elected the champion cake baker of Cuckadoo County. Norma says she owes her baking talent to the thoughtful teachings of her Home Economic instructor when she was a student at the Sheffield High School. She brought along a delicious chocolate cake made from her favorite recipe called Foo's Cement-Mixer Special. The last, but not the least, to arrive was Connie Gebeck. He is now the chief auc- tioneer for Gebeck, Gebeck, Gebeck df Dingle-Buttons, Inc. No, girls, he isn't married yet. He says Women frighten him so he can't say a word, and he hasn't had time to go shop- ping around as yet. They say man descended from the ape, but from the looks of a few members of the Senior Class, it's the wolf. It was a good thing Mr. and Mrs. Burgess were on hand, as usual, to chaperon the group. When the big reunion was over and each and every member was wending his way homeward, his thoughts were of the fond memories of days gone by and of the things he would have to tell his children and grandchildren. Yes, this affair will go down in each book of memories as a highlight on the road of life. K f-48l LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT it We, the Senior Class of one thousand nine hundred and forty-eight, do hereby acknowledge this document as our last will and testament.

I il' HIGH SCHOOL TRACK As in previous years, the Cardinal will go to press before the track season is over, so the final results for 1948 Will not be available. ln the 1947 track season Coach Sturm's Cardinals succeeded in copping their share of the honors by Winning three out of four meets played, and tak- ing third in the Little 'i8 conference, third in the County meet, and third in the Little 8 conference meet, losing to Tiskilwa in this meet by only one-third of a point. ln this Little 8 meet Sheffield set a record in the 440-yard Freshman- Sophomore relay of 49.3112 seconds. This record was set by Harry Barton, Duane Nelson, Buddy Giltner, and George Van Loo. Coach Sturm expresses confidence that Sheffield will break this record in the 1948 meet. Sheffields Little 78 meets in the 1947 season: April 8-'Sheffield-Buda-Wyanet April l1-LaMoil1e- Manlius-Sheffield April 18-Bureau-Neponset- Sheffield April 25-Tiskilwa-'Sheffield The ' indicates the Winner of each meet, The following are last year's 119473 letter Winners: Seniors--lim Humphrey and LaVerne Taylor. luniors-Iohn Cecil, captain, Kenneth Dahl, Verne Moore and Dale Moore. Sophomores-Bud Giltner, George Van Loo, and 1-larry Barton. Freshman--Duane Nelson. 1521 Other members of the squad included Warren Taylor, Conrad Gebeck, Tack Barry, and jerry Folk. David Griffin and jim Sullivan Were out for the season due to ear infections. There will be plenty of good experienced men coming out for the l948 track season. Coach Sturm has an exceptional group of relay and dash men to select from. Duane Nelson and Bud Giltner should go to the top this year in the dashes, relays, and broad jump. Another man with plenty of steam is Dave Griffin, Senior, and veteran at the 100-yard dash, relays, and 440-yard dash. Dave also does a very com- mendable job of high jumping. Tommy Cole, varsity relay and dash man, will be a valuable man in both these events. Kenneth Dahl and George Van Loo will uphold the honors of Sheffield in the shot and discus. ferry Folk and Noel Griffin will be after a letter in the pole vault and high jump. Duke Malmquist, the new lad from Geneseo, promises to be quite an asset in the high and low hurdles. Sheffield is also well fortified with distance men in Connie Gebeck, james Sullivan, Verne Moore, and Dale Moore. Dale and Verne earned their letters in the half mile run last year and may bring in many much needed points this season. Of course, there will be plenty of good material coming up this year in the squad of 28. With a well balanced and experienced team like this, Shef- field has high chances of taking the Little 8 this year. ln addition to this year's Little l'8 schedule, Coach Sturm has announced that the Cards will probably participate in the Geneseo and Galva relays. The l948 schedule: April 6, Tuesday-LaMoille, Ohio, at Tiskilwa, Neponset, Manlius, at Shef- field, Wyanet, Bureau, at Buda. April l3, Tuesday-Bureau, Ohio, at Manlius, LaMoille, Wyanet, at Neponset, Sheffield, Buda, at Tiskilwa.

Typewriting can be used as one of the tools either directly or indirectly to help meet the demand for greater speed and efficiency in everything we do. lt is indispensable for those Who seek employment, for those who continue their studies in higher institutions, for those who engage in professions, and even for those who may remain at home after they leave school. The study of Business Law touches every phase of life and every living person. lt includes a treatment of contracts, the relations between buyer and seller, negotiable instruments, insurance, consumer protection, labor laws, fair trade laws, and many other modern topics. General Business Training gives the pupils an understanding of the funda- mental business practices that so greatly affect the success of individuals in all Walks of life. It also gives an understanding of the relationship between busi- ness and society. Showing how communication, transportation, financial, and governmental agencies function and how they affect the student, is the con- scious aim of the course. In future years the student of today may serve his community as a school board member, an alderman, a trustee, a supervisor, or a legislator. He may serve society as a treasurer of a church, a lodge, a hospital, or a parent- teacher association. ln each instance he Will need an understanding of funda- mental principles of business methods, budgets, bookkeeping, banking, and interpretation of records. Bookkeeping develops these principles and makes specific applications of them to several organizations. Even in private and business life records must be kept and official reports filed-again, this course prepares the student for life ahead. Business Mathematics accomplishes five major aims or objectives: l. To develop speed and accuracy in the fundamental processes of arith- metic commonly used in making business calculations. 2. To develop the ability- to make many ordinary computations mentally rather than by the use of pencil and paper. 3. To develop skill in the use of practicable short cuts in figuring. 4. To develop topics and subjects that are truly vocational in their char- acter, of greatest interest and use to students, and necessary for a better understanding of other business subjects. 5. To develop habits of systematic procedure and neatness that will tend to carry over into everything the student does. i563 Dale Moore, Phyllis Nestler, Donna Wilhelm, Mrs. Burgess, Marilyn Mette, Nancy Towne HIGH SCHOOL COMMERCIAL CLUB Sheffield High School Commercial Club is entering upon its second year as a very active high school club, organized to supplement business training in high school and to develop a broader and deeper appreciation of the business world.

HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT The goals of a home making department from their very nature set them- selves apart from other phases of the high school curriculum. Because of the great importance given it, the State and the National Government concern themselves in its subject matter and procedures. A' democracy rests upon the foundation created by its nation's homes. Home making concerns itself with not only information getting, but a learning of skills put into practice in a work shop as nearly comparable to a home as can be obtained. School life here is carried on purposefully in an atmosphere of ease and friendliness. The goals of Sheffield are the same as stated so well by one illinois Home Economics Educator, Isabel Bevier. We learn here to make our homes socially responsible and spiritually inspiring. t6Sl F. H. A. Sir President ........... ......,...... D onna Wilhelm Vice President ..... ..........

There were fourteen first grade pupils and fifteen second grade pupils. During the year three pupils moved away. The New Beacon Phonetic Chart, cards and books, purchased with the P. T. A. money, gave the children opportunities to apply the phonetic and structural analysis skills developed through the Basic Reading Program. The children got the encouraging feeling of independent achievement. lt helped in doing away with word confusions and giving pupils true reading power. All the children in Room One took part with great enthusiasm in the Tell- ing Time, Health Check or Book Report period. During Art classes the children made creative designs illustrating Hal- loween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Patriotic Days.

GRADE SCHOOL BASKETBALL The Sheffield grade school lightweight basketball team under the capable handling of Coach Fred Schwind, had a very successful season. Winning eleven out of sixteen games, they totaled 292 points to their opponents' 271 points. The team got off to a good start in the county tournament, whipping Tiskilwa in the opener, 14 to 9. The next night they defeated Bureau function, 28 to 22, putting them in the semi-finals. ln a close game the boys were downed, 24 to 18, by the tournament champs, DePue. The next night, however, they rallied to down Manlius 28 to 16, to win a beautiful and well deserved third place trophy, The heavyweight team didn't fare so well, as they won only two games in eight starts. ln the first game of the county tournament Sheffield tasted the bitter dregs of defeat as the tournament winners from Ladd poured it on to win, 32 to 16. This wound up the season for these boys, Mr. Schwind has announced that the following boys are assured of a letter and there may be more boys who will get theirs: Frank Gebeclc, Andy Peed, Dennis Mor- rasy, Phil Hand, Harold Lambert, Russell Hansen, and Wendell Smith.

GRADE SCHOOL TRACK Coach SchWind's l947 grade school track team showed surprising strength in their one trackmeet of the season. This meet was held at Princeton. The boys succeeded in bringing home the second place trophy. First place slipped out of their hands by one of those strange quirks of fate as Richard Madsen, who was leading the field in the hurdles, tripped over a hurdle that was accidentally hit by a participant from Ladd. lf Richard had made the goal Sheffield would have Won the meet. The boys participating in the meet and Winning their letters were: Robert Miller-High jump, first, 50-yard dash, fourth, pole vault, fourth. Robert Schoffstall-Hurdles, third. Russell Hansen--Pole vault, fourth. Tommy Nelsen-lUU and 220-yard dashes, fifth. Richard Madsen-Broad jump, third. Billy Griffin-220-yard dash. Phil Hand-Shot-put. Relay team, consisting of Billy Griffin, Robert Miller, Tommy Nelsen, and Richard Madsen. The only meet scheduled for 1948 is the County Tournament at Princeton, May ll, in the morning. l84l GRADE SCHOOL BASKETBALL Sir The Sheffield grade school softball team had a rather short and unsuc- cessful season in 1947. They played three games and failed to chalk up a Win. All the boys in the seventh and eighth grades went out for the sport and gained much valuable experience and knowledge for next year. The games they played Were: Mineral ....,....... lO Sheffield ..........., 2 Bureau ...... .... 5 Sheffield ....,.......

TACK FROST An imaginative man. Comes around every year. l-le paints the Windows So they're no longer clear. l-le gives you frost bites, And very chilly hands. 1-le freezes the ice And all of the lands. When the spring thaw comes. He goes sulking away. Then Spring Comes in And makes her long stay. f9 -David Griffin, Grade School 11 WHAT'S IN A NAME- Once upon a time there was a MILLER who kept his BEYN full of grain and plenty of flour on HAND. The good FOLK who lived in the DALE would depend MOORE and more upon his good judgment and his predictments about the weather and times. By the Way the BARRY hung on the bush or the BUD came on the tree he would tell them how much COLE to get in for the Winter and how many logs to HUGH for the fireplace. As he would help them CARRIE it in they would exclaim, lsn't his ARMSTRONGIH Each day he would DONNA hat on his HARRY head and SALLY into TOWNE. Often he would return with a DAHL for some little girl. People often wondered why he never did MARY. He would attend all the school DEBATES and in his town he would permit no one to LYNCH persons from the jail. He paid all his BILLS promptly. Yes, he was the DEAN ot his neighbors and when you visited him you left feeling like a NEWMAN. 'ik HEARD ABOUT SCHOOL- Mrs. Harlan: Kenneth D. give me two pronouns. Kenneth: Who, ME?
