Part of that time she served as secretary. No member has ever given more unselfishly of time and interest than did Mrs. Spesarcl. She was loyal, wise, and capable in all school matters. Last summer she became ill, but even as late as December she was in her place at board meeting. ln March Mrs. Spesard died, leaving a vacancy in our circle and our affection not soon to be filled by another.

Page 11 Lyle Rexder Iohn Kennedy Frank Lower Rosemary Holland Burton Matthews Opal Iones aulme Gregg Foster Hurst lean Huber Robert Henson Lois Sanborn Zellah Hagan We beg a minute or two of you To tell of the class of Forty-two. LYLE REIDER was our good- looking class president: he turned in a grand job of his sen- ior year. Our viceepresident, IOHN KEN- NEDY, was noted for his con- stant attentions to a junior girl. In addition to being our secre- tary, FRANK LOWER is famous for his hard work and good na- ture. ROSEMARY HOLLAND has a sunny disposition and a boy friend, Cuz. An artist of ability, BURTON MATTHEWS finds time to hold a dozen different jobsfwas a star in his drawing and shop courses. A little, short, dark-eyed girl- that's OPAL IONESQ wonder why she's flying to Texas right soon. PAULINE GREGG, smiling her big smile, was usually seen carrying SNOOPERS into the class-rooms or heard in an out- burst of laughter. A quiet lad with a golden voice -fthat was FOSTER HURSTg we'd like to know him much better. She is a blonde who has a good job at the factory: but IEAN HUBER likes school and a cer- tain red-head. You know who he is. He became one of our very best students, BOB HENSON did. He's often seen riding his bi- cycle or studying late in the li- brary. Always so busy with her own business, LOTS SANBORN just hasn't time to get acquainted with us. ZELLAH HAGAN is also of an independent mind: took a trip to New York and didn't get ex- cused: but it was really worth it. CLASS OF 1942 CLASS OF 1942 EVELYN CRUIT wears braids and knows enough to ask ques- tions in bookkeeping when the rest of us are too dumb to know enough. A quiet boy, BURL PRICE has a hobby of taking pictures, and he has freckles and almost-red hair. EDNA MAE SAIN, a little girl with a hearty laugh, is often seen flitting around in and about the office---working. liggs to most of us, DICK ROBISON loves to kiss the girls when they aren't expecting it. He likes to play ball at Wind- sor. From Mattoon came NORMA CARMICI-IAEL who is so quiet that we hardly know she's here at all. Oklahoma sent us MARGIE DENNIS, and we're grateful. She is tiny but can do all the work of social committee chair- man. Chesty , who is really Cl-IES' TER RANDOL, is famous for his crew hair-cuts and rattly Model- A. ANNA MARIE DELANEY carrie from Westervelt and has made herself well-known for being so very inconspicuous here- abouts. Lovable, carefree, WILMA PLOWMAN made a place for herself in our affection. How we shall miss Doc , Imp - A you name her. FRANKLIN REID has a girl friend who couldn't write this: so Miss Corley says He's one of the best fellows in the sens ior class. Girl-shy and unobtrusive, CARL KIMLEL is really a business man. We predict that he will be a rich farmer in the near fu- ture. The friendly, quiet girl who is from north of town, RUBY BIEH- LER shows us up in bookkeep- ing. Evelyn Cruxt Burl Price Edna Mae Sain Dick Robison Norma Carmichael Margie Dennis Chester Randol Anna Mane Delaney Wilma Plowmcm Franklin Reid Carl Kimlel Ruby Brehler lherxne Larxmore Ina Swinford Arthur Braden lean Ann Mears Dale Bxehler Lorraine Strohl aymond Syfert Vivian Small Nannie Barlow Harold Brown Vxolet Shui! Wayne Kmgston Her smiles and friendliness have made CATHERINE LARI- MORE one of us even though she came only last year from Beecher City. INA SWINFORD is too busy with other activities Cin Stras- burgl to do very much here at S.H.S. He plays in the band and likes to gab in American history. ARTHUR BRADEN has freckles and a cheery smile most of the time. IEAN ANN MEARS has a lot on the ball and has proved it often whenever given a chance. Driving a new Nash, DALE BIEHLER gets around quite a bit especially in Stewardson ee is usually seen with Moe . On a bicycle, LORRAINE STROHL can really paint the town red. She likes to gab, and it doesn't make much difference where. RAYMOND SYFERT is known as Sperry to us all. Love of dancing and roller-skating has won him friends. Toots , VIVIAN SMALL, loves to go to Mattoon on Sunday nights. You can easily guess why. NANNIE BARLOW came this year from Shawneetown. She's a tall, dark, handsome lassieg but then she up and left her many friends. The BROWN boy, HAROLD, has led a quiet life in these parts, but he attended strictly to business and he'll be missed next year. To our Uncle Sam, VIOLET SHUFF gave up her one and only . She is the sister of a former athlete and is famous in her own right. WAYNE KINGSTON w a s t e s some of his time talking to the girls in afternoon study hours, but he's indispensable to the li- brary. ' CLASS OF 1942 CLASS OF 1942 Living in a world so far away, IAMES SMlTH sometimes wakes up to realize he's here after all. He drives a perky roadster. I Five years passed, and then THELMA HUBBART came back to us. How she finds time to do all she does, l can't understand. There must be something fas- cinating about NOEL SKID- MOHE, tor he has the women pulling hair over him, tatal charms, I guess. Theres rumor th at E D N A HENNE has secret love attairsg she's so otten see in the library. ORAN HAGAN tried a little to be an athlete, and he came to school whenever he telt like it, which he did once in a while. Moe eeBOB MOYEReis con- centrating on a iunior gal right now. He enjoys hitch-hiking. GARNETT H U D S O N, ol course, tries to tell Mr. Geisz all about the army and navy- comes from Dugout. The competent secretary in the principals office is none other than our own MILDHED SHEH WOOD, a l w a y s asking, Where were you . . OTIS HAMILTON had one vice, pulling ribbons out ot girls' hair. He comes from south ol town. Will it be her old tlame or will it be an aviator? MARY EVE- LYN RAGAN has a dreadful time making up her mind which. LORA FERN HUDSON added ROSE as her last name: but we're glad she decided to stick with us. One oi our most eligibles, yet ROBERT BLAND is so girl-shy we give up. He serves as Mr. Fegley's right-hand man. Iames Smith Thelma Hubbart Noel Skidmore Edna Henne Oran Hagan Robert Mover Garnett Hudson Mildred Sherwood Otis Hamilton Mary Evelyn Hagan Lora Fern Rose Robert Bland 'Vlildred Allen Iimmy Duckett Irene Patient Mariotie Rominqer Bernard Spracklen Betty Clawson Icrmes Ncxrdi Mabel Holley Dwight Baptist Hilda Page Robert Phipps Murmell Troutmu Prominent member of her gang, MILDBED ALLEN is very active in a variety of school affairs. Generally smiling, I I M M Y DUCKETT is usually quiet ex- cept for his arguments in eco- nomics class with Cuz and Mr. Anderson. After about three years in Chi- cago, IBENE PATlENT came back to join us our senior year. MlDGE ROMINGEB is one of the friendliest and most likable girls in school. She deserved the honor of being our queen. Qne of the gabbiest boys in our school, BERNARD SPRACKLEN is always being told to turn around. And he wonders Why! BETTY CLAWSON'S athletic ability got her elected G.A.A. president. They say shes very interested in church activities. IAMES Mouse NARDI has a bicycle and delivers groceries. He likes roaming about with his best pal home from college. No Wonder MABEL HOLLEY looks a bit sleepy. She works at the factory at night and comes to high school in the day time. DWIGHT BAPTIST is usually seen at the candy stand with some girls hanging aroundefor candy? Noi very noticeable, but always busy at her own affairs, HILDA PAGE has absorbing interests. We wonder what his name is. lf you just get acquainted with BOB PHIPPS, you find he's nuts about drummingfand he's pretty good at it, too. MARINELL TROUTMAN dresses up in white satin and twirls the baton for our school band. CLASS OF 1942 CLASS OF 1942 Hes most devoted to his girl, but MARTIN KANTNER has trouble because of stiff compe- tition. A pretty little brunette, EVELYN WIANDT prefers o p p o s i t e s, namely, a little blonde sopho- more. You know who. Too bad, girls, that DUSTY MILLER slights our charms in favor of Findlay, I-Ie's one of our best liked fellows and a real leader. NANCY NEAL likes to Whisper in study hall, tell jokes, and then laugh right out loud at them. If it's hunting or fishing weather, don't look for CHARLIE MAR- TIN in school, If he is, he's probably resting or sound asleep, You don't hear much from her, but ALICE TURNEY is very much present, anyway. They say she is very interested in hunting. VIRGINIA MILLER is a petite, peppy, and personable blonde who flits here and there. She likes to read other people's let- ters. Casey gave us BOB LAW- RENCE, a worthy student and athlete. We made him our jun- ior president. BETTY WAGGONER'S loss was Uncle Sam's gain. She works in the factory at night and sleeps in American history in day time. He boxes and wrestles so much that EUGENE LUMPP has al- most forgotten how little he is. DORIS LANTZ is pretty and popular and one of our most intelligent students a leader in school, editor of the Okaw- wako. Usually in the dog-house with her friends, BETTY LEACIIS gossip column in the SNOCP- ER'S to blame. Shes still a good cheer leader. Martin Kantner Evelyn Wxandt Don Miller Nancy Neal Charlie Martin Alice Tumey Virginia Miller Bob La ence Betty Waqqoner Eugene Lumpp Doris Lantz Betty Leach 'rnice Kimmel tm I. Smith Warren Rubin Gwendolyn Hill Leona Iames Lee Mears Emelie lenovick Vivian Kessel Carl Foor Wilbur Rentfrow Betty Klauser Paul Patient Robert Merrell Norman Wortman BERNICE KIMMEL'S long, wavy hair is her distinguishing mark -f-also her friendly smile. Her wide experience gives LE- ONA IAMES plenty to talk about on all subjects in home management. Who'd have th o u g ht LEE MEARS would become noted as one of our devoted swainsfa junior gal. EMELIE IENOVICK joined us from Chicago and brought heart throbs to some of our suscepti- ble boys. WARREN RUBIN added qreatly to our athletic prowess, coming from Champaign, was football captain. GWENDOLYN HILL WHITE fi- nally carried out her threat and got married and just left us. He moved to the farm this spring and now IOI-IN I. SMlTH'S just a farmer boy. Has a time with girls! Over in the far corner is WIL- BUR RENTFROW who often bursts into classes with absen- tee lists. BETTY KLAUSER is without doubt our most efficient mem- ber. She richly deserved the D.A.R. award. Usually PAUL PATIENT sleeps during third hour hall, but he knows his business in class. If she only had more third fin- gers-left-hand, VIVIAN KESSEL could accommodate more rings. CARL POOR was our basket- ball flash. He also gained fame for his arguments with the coach. Between airplanes and the de- partment store BOB MERRELL has time for his lessons and Mary. NORMAN WORTMAN is anxi- ous to get away to the Navy, or is it Flora? Anyway, we'll soon find out. CLASS OF 1942 Page I8 SENIORS ACTIVE IN EXTRA ACTIVITIES Mildred Allan Milly Prog. Com.
