Though we soon shall part, we shall take away with us pleasant memories of happy associations. There was BARBARA LIDSTER with an every-ready smile. She was on Ye Okawwako Staffn in charge of organizations. JOHN YANTIS was generally seen working on the SIIUUPKW, and he was always in the hearts of several Shelby High girls. QBlondes especial- lyj. ELIZABETH CRUIT was one of the little but mighty G.A.A. members. We were told she has a remarkable wolf whistle. Trained in the EEA. we can expect LOREN WILSON to be one of the agricul- tural leaders of the future. IAIN CRANE was a good teammate-fearless and with power plus. He demon- strated these traits both in football and basketball. DOROTHY ROLEY always seemed to have a good time, but she was so quiet we didn't know much about her. BILL RICHARDSON, his gang, the Syn- copators, and his women will have a lasting place in the memories of his clasimates and fellow students. I Don Morehead, vice-president Arnold Bland, president john Yamis, secretary-treasur r lage I0 NORMA YODER was very active in G.A.A. She has made many friends during her four years in Shelby High. NITA TERRY'S ambition is to be a nurse. Good luck in your chosen profession, Nita. BILL BUR- NETT, the F.F.A. reporter for the Slzooper, was our professor of geniality. He had a smile and a cheerful word for everyone. HELEN KELLY led a quiet life in these parts and attended strictly to business. She'll be missed next year. DON MOREHEAD was active in all school activities. What will we do next year without his managerial ability-and his jalopy? I-Ie could really act in our class plays, too. Our amiable all-star and letterman extraordinary was BILL LEACH. Star forward, captain of our football team, and tooter of a mean trumpet in the dance band were a few of his accomplishments. FRANCES YANTIS was a real live wire. She was peppy, cheerful, and full of school spirit. HARVEY DAUGHERTY was very active in the F.F.A. and an honor winner in the agriculture projects. RUBY SMITH left us but came back and graduated with our class. We surely are glad you did, Ruby. RETA BAKER was one of the faithful active war stamp sellers. She also possesses a diamond, third finger, left hand. Congratulations, Reta. DON DITZ- LER was our Don Quixote. He liked to daydream but MARY SHIELS transferred from Westervelt in her sophomore year. he always had his wits about him. She has made innumerable friends her last three years. BOB WESTENHAVER was a boy who really got around-and did the girls love it! ANDREW CRAIG was nice to know, and be- sides, he was talented. lt was hard to find a better man in mechanical drawing. EVELYN WILSON had a spontaneous smile and she was always a willing help- er. She was typist and assistant editor of the S,f10UfJl'Y. LEWIS HOUSTON will be remembered for his dark wavy hair and for his flashy performance on the Pn.u'lmr.1 lidstcr Alulm xvdlllii lilinlwllm fruit lnrcn XVilaun hm c,I'.llllS Durullly Rulcy NY'ilIi.un R lK'll.lI'Kl'ilFH Norma Ymlcr Nita Tc l'l' y XY'ilIi.un B ul1'x1g ' Il Hclcn Kelly D Qulm Murclwuul XY'illi.un l,c.lcl1 FIIIIICUN Y.lllliN H.u'vcy l,.HlgIlCI'l 3' Ruby Smith Rota lhkcr Donald Diwlcr Mary Shiclx Robert VVcatc11l1.uvcr Andrew Craig lfvclyn Wilson Lcwiw Houston liomtlwm Downs c l T he Class of Fortyfve F.F.A. cagers' team. DOROTHEA DOWNS was neat, sweet, and lovely to look at. Was she ever a smooth dancer! DEAN A. SMITH, the big boy', of our class, was the good humor man who always had a mischievous twinkle in his eye. ROSALIE SELOCK always had her American history assignments written down. If anybody needed an extra history book, he might have used her notes, they covered it page by page. STANLEY MCDONALD came to us from Lakewood. Three of his brothers were also graduated from Shelby High. ELEANOR LOWE was so quiet and thoughtful we would have given a penny for her thoughts. BETTY MCCORD, the dark-haired beauty of our class, was one of the nicest persons to know. She received the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award. PANO REZINAS, our brain-trust athlete, expressed his opinions, and they were usually right. He is in- Shelby High royalty Page l2 terested in the Army Air Corps, mathematics, and science. ANN KENNEDY was described as sweet, Swedish, and pretty as a picture. She had an attractive smile for everyone. JOHN BAKER was the tallest fellow in school. He used his height to good advan- tage on the basketball squad this year and turned in a good record. JOHN MCBRIDE was our living proof that little men can be good athletes. Johnny also turned in a fine job as chairman of the athletic commit- tee. JUANITA SAIN was one of our class's best workers. She was good in athletics, too. GENE LICHTENWALTER was another football star-tall, dark and handsome. His favorite tune was Stardust. JOYCE SKIDMORE might well have been called Goldie Locks. She seemed to be busy, but we didn't hear much of her here in school. BETTY HOKE was the girl with the pleasing personality who would help anyone with anything. ARNOLD BLAND was our class representative in all big doings -Student Coun- cil, Snoojwr, athletics, honor roll, class president, and what-have-you that is important. NANCY HUDSON was small, but she certainly could make 5-point on the honor roll. She and Dorothy Roley formed one of our most constant senior couples. Quiet, unobtrusive, but liked by all was ALFRED POWELL. It would have taken a good mind reader to tell what he was thinking. Upon CHARLES FRAILEY'S graduation, Shelby High loses its champion ladies' man. We'll miss your smile, Chuck. HELEN ANN ARCHEY left us after her freshman year, but we're glad she came back to Shelby this year. She seemed to have outside inter- ests, however, that occupied all her spare time. FRANK COMPTON, we know, will become one of our most successful farmers. He was active in the F.F.A. JEAN NEESE was one of the wonder workers of Shelby High. She took part in extra curricular activi- ties and still made high grades. That diminutive dynamo of capability was EILEENE PHEGLEY. What Dean A.

He played basketball on the EEA. team. With his per- sonality we are sure he will be a success in his chosen profession. CHARITY SCHULTZ, our efficiency ex- pert, just loves waffles. War bonds, G.A.A., Okaw- wako, Sfloojzer, class plays, grades-Charity finds time for them all. L. DEAN SMITH was the debonair dreamer of the American history class. He was really a fine fellow to know. ROSEMARY WEBB CLAWSON'S future has begun. We wish you happiness, Rosemary. DON SHASTEEN was an all-round good fellow and athlete. He firmly believed in the attraction of opposites. DOROTHY WARNER was one of the intelligents. She was a lot of fun, capable, and clever. If you want to know something about sports, ask DON REID- NX xii Three of a kind Page 14 he knows. After the junior class play, we thought BILL ROMINGER was going to join the ranks of the Barrymores, but automotive mechanics and Henry Ford now seem his goal. We have several Smiths but only one JONES-WANDA. She was Strasburg's loss but Shelby's gain. DICK MEYER was the happy- go-lucky boy with the roguish eyes. His pastimes were basketball, girls, and riding in a blue convertible. Studying was good-looking WANDA LEWIS' pet peeve, but how she can jitter-bug! We won't forget her excellent acting in the class plays. JANE SPESARD was really a good sport. Her contributions to Shelby High were loyalty, leadership, and service. We still remember BILL BECKETT'S jolly smile, although he left us at the end of the first semester. We wonder if the Army has taught him to pick up his feet. PHYLLIS PEEK was the popular girl chosen as our Homecoming Queen. She found time to be president of the G.A.A. and type for the Snooper, as well as to be one of our cheerleaders. RICHARD ROSS was one of the quieter and more industrious boys in our class, and he was well liked by all. BILL GILLILAND was a friendly young man with ideas. He wanted action! BETTEJO LICHTENWAL- TER was the Findlay Homecoming Beauty Contest winner of 1944. XVho knows, maybe a movie contract looms in her future. RAY MILLS was usually concen- trating on a certain senior girl and his job. He also enjoyed riding around in a blue convertible. MAURINE SMITH,S smile will always win her friends. She found time for G.A.A. and an after school job. JOAN LOGUE always had the time of her life. Everybody cheered for her at all the games. PAULINE HUD- SON was a loyal pal. You could count on her when you needed help. She spent her evenings at Sta-Rite. RUTH BOND was as dependable as those our govern- ment sells. She was noted for her abundant energy.

XVc juniors started off the year with a flourish. Our first big event was the play Don't Take My Penny, and our proceeds were far more than we had antici- pated. At Christmas time we sponsored a dance to which many of the alumni came. We also did our share raising money for the memorial plaque. Page I6 During the first few days of January, after Mr. Fegley's mysterious announcement, members of the class could be heard Whispering together, I wonder if they have come? The whole school was wondering who or what they were until the proud class mem- bers came out wearing their new class rings. Clan' of Fort -fix Among our girls one couldn't overlook Roma Firn- haber, whose laugh is a cute combination of a giggle and a gargle, nor Imogene Kelley's slow smile that is really worth waiting for. The three musketeers of the class were Louise QSpecj Hudson, Donna Brown, and Barbara Daggett. ln another huddle one could usually find Mary June Carnes, Jackie Foster, Alice Jones, and Beverly Tallman. Has he got a friend, girls? In the sixth hour study hall Virginia Richardson and Roma Firnhaber used their own version of the Morse code, and just any time Lyle fSlickj McConnell might have been seen wandering around looking for everything in general and nothing in particular. Betty Shaffer, Darlene Anderson, and Chloanne Gierhart had the leads in the operetta. Those girls could really sing! Our old fashioned eliatterboxesn were Doris Stew- ardson, Betty Lou Huffer, and Laura Henne. They knew that silence is golden. Mark Lumpp and George Bolinger were the speed demons. Anyone who has dodged them knows that they don't drive nails. In the brains department were Margery Steele, Orda Walden, Barbara Waggoner, Chloanne Gierhart, Mary June Carnes, and Wayne Howse. Dorothy llill did the art work for the fashion section of the SIIOUfIt'l'. NWC were happy when Norma Purcell, Chloanne Ciier- hart, Roma Firnhaber, and Wayne Howse were elected to the National Honor Society in january. At present we are working like busy bees on the Junior-Senior Prom, which we believe will be the most s ectacular rom in recent ears. P P We juniors are a great class.

Then we started to work in earnest. During the football season Carl Courtright, jimmy Hudson, Pat Leach, and Leon Lowe showed that they had what it takes. Incidentally, Page I8 Pat and Dick won letters. We did equally well in basketball with Babe Baptist, Leon Hutchings, Pat Leach, Dick Lively, Carl Courtright, Murphy Mc- Bride, and Charles Klauser turning in good records. Babe, who often ran circles around both the opposite team and the referees, won a letter. Clmf of Forgz-.raven We also have outstanding girls in our class. Shir- ley Mochel was chosen as one of the attendants of the Homecoming Queen. Then one of the most con- stant cliques about school was composed of Margaret Yakey, Rose Mairi Crane, Kathryn Williams, Kathryn Fox, Suzanne Clark, Denise Meyer, and Mary Lou Hawk. Come on, girls, give with the gossip. We really had some super-grade-getters to whom a 5-point average was not an unusual thing. Yes, they were Carl Courtright, Leon Hutchings, Suzanne Clark, and Arnold Strohl. Who were nearly always late for G.A.A.? Rose Mairi Crane and Denise Meyer. It was strange that Harry Davis and Wayne Howse always had so much to talk about every afternoon after school. In December, Stanley Spesard, Phillip Strohl, jack Lee, and Olan Hurst carried off F.F.A. awards. To add more glory to our class Melvin Barricklow, Dick Lively, and Carl Courtright had important roles in the operetta, Jerry of Jericho Road. Just before the Easter vacation we had a swell party with plenty of games, dancing, and good food. With rc ret we leave our so homore ear and its S P Y good times.

Page Z 0 Ckm of Forty-eight From our first day in high school we have loved organizations. We have helped bolster the G.A.A., S.H.E., F.F.A., Chorus, and Ovejitas. Frances Fisher and Esther Sims assisted Miss Herron in the library during their free periods. We freshmen also were thrilled at the mention of parties and dances. Norma Stewardson, Virginia Herron, Joan Bolinger, and Rose- mary Younger could be seen at most of the dances. By the way, Norma was also one of the cheerleaders, but she couldn't attend the regional tournament because of the mumps. Evidently Patsy Reider, Virginia Danne- berger, and Joyce Neese were afraid of the bogey man because they were always seen walking home to- gether. This year we brought into high school another Schultz-Joy! She and Shirley Raab were the most powerful members of the freshmen girls' volleyball team, but Joan Bolinger surpassed all of the girls in basketball. Our boys were very much interested in athletics, especially Ralph Bly, Billy Sands, Jack Lich- tenwalrer, and Junior Martz. Rough and tough Eugene Johnson is our secret weapon for basketball in the future. We shall never forget the Hne work George Wilch and Jack Lichtenwalter did in the pep meet- ing skits. Lucille Severe, Jeanne Barden, Edith Beck- ett, and Reta Bishop were quiet and demure l110St of the time, but we know that little Lucille was literally swept off her feet one time while square dancing. Were Helen Rezinas, Jack Davis, and Jimmy Thompson real- ly studying or just going through all of the motions in the study hall? And what about boys like Rex Shasteen, who asked how to spell a word during a spelling contest! In April, on Friday 13, we gave a hard luck party in the gym. There were musical selections by Joyce Thurber, Joan Bolinger, and Rosemary Younger. Norma Stewardson and Virginia Herron danced, and Jack Lichtenwalter gave imitations. Our Hrst year in high school is finished. We are no longer greeng we know our way about now. Next year we shall have a chance to laugh at the newcomers as we were laughed at this year.

It was mainly through the council's efforts that the Youth Center came into being. They brought up the subject, sent around a petition, and, after the City Council had approved it, elected a committee to get the Youth Center going. The Student Council is divided into three com- mittees: social, athletic, and program. The social committee, with Eileene Phegley as chairman, sponsored the All School-Freshman Initia- tion party and the Homecoming festivities, which in- cluded a parade, field-day and a dance, with Phyllis Peek as queen. Johnny McBride had charge of the athletic com- mittee and did a swell job putting on pep meetings before the study hall. Don Morehead and Mr. Bat- tershell assisted him in presenting them. fWell, by now we are used to Mr. Battershell's corny ideas.j The program committee, through the aid of Mrs. Prosterman, secured many fine movies which were shown to the student body. iii Last spring the National Honor Society held a col- orful initiation in the early evening down by the river. After a delicious picnic supper several of the present senior members were informally initiated. The Society started this year off with an alumni picnic supper at the park, where Mrs. Prosterman and Marshall Reid really did justice to the ice cream. At the end of the first semester we were proud to welcome seven new members into our society. To be chosen for membership is regarded as one of the highest and most significant honors to be attained in high school. Only one-tenth of the junior and senior classes are eligible for membership in this national or- ganization. The determining factors for membership are character, service, leadership and scholarship.

Among this group were 10 lettermen from 1943 Shelby High football wars. Pre-season hopes for a winning team were high and membership in an ath- letic conference, the Illinois Mid-State Conference, add- ed to the air of competition. PE? Q., A ,,,,..,..J-x , ear End f Season Our first three games were conference contests. We met Pana on our field and lost 20-7. Shflby counted first, however, on a pass from Beezo to Crane. We traveled to Nokomis and Taylorvillc and came out on the short end of scores of 20-0 and 31-0, respec- tively. The Rams continually fumbled the pigskin at Nokomis, and lh: Redskins counted on every break. The Taylorville game was played in a downpour of rain an.l the Rams couldn't get started against the confer- eziee champs. After three conference thumpings the Rams trav- eled outsid: the league for five games. The locals tangled with Charleston, Assumption, Bethany, and Moweaqua on their respective fields and then clashed with Decatur in the Shelby-High Homecoming game. Charleston and Assumption rolled us under by scores of 45-7 and 26-0. Leach made the lone marker on a quarterback sneak. However, Bethany and Moweaqua were different stories. Shelby topped Bethany 35-0 as Howse, Crane, and McBride each scored once and Leach clicked the scoreboard twice. The Rams did even a more convincing job against Moweaqua in a 49-0 fashion. Crane hit pay-dirt three times Leach twice, and Howse and Bland each once. The Shelby team returned to complete the season at home against Decatur in the Homecoming game and Kincaid in a conference game. The Rams stood their ground in the hrst half and led 7-6 at the intermis- sion on Leach's pass to Richardson. Decatur counted three times in the third quarter to spell defeat for the Rams, 33-7. Last on the schedule was Kincaid. Neither Shelby nor Kincaid had won a conference game. Shelby ended the season with a conference record of l-3 and Kincaid with 0-S. The Rams tromped the Ponies 33-0 as Howse starred with two touchdowns. Leach, Mc- Bride, and Richardson also counted in the scoring. Our greatest loss was the tragic death of jack XVarren which came during the height of the season. .lack played tackle and had been a real credit to Shelby- I-Iigh football teams while he was winning four letters. Last, we wish to congratulate Coach Geisz on the showing his boys put up, and here's hoping he and the team have better luck next season.

They nipped us 44-42 and it was also our first Illinois Mid-State Conference game. How- ever, we beat St. Elmo and Charleston T. C. before we fell again. This time it was Taylorville and, worst of all, in a conference game. We got hot after los- ing and beat Windsor, Neoga, Nokomis, Greenville, and Pana. The last 3 were conference mixes. The Pana Holiday Meet was next, but Feitshans stopped us in an overtime. Nokomis was easy the next evening for third place. Starting the new year off right, we won 3 straightg two were of the conference variety. Altamont upset us 44-29 which was revenged later. Getting back to their winning ways, the Rams hit another hot streak that took in the county championship. Hillsboro was the only dark spot in this drive as they revenged their earlier defeat 34-39. After the tournament the Rams got into some big league competition which marred their record. St. Elmo took revenge, Vandalia and Kincaid scored con- ference wins over us, and Sullivan's one man outfit Fifteen rahs for the team! squeezed by for a win. Then the Rams notched 7 straight victories before Taylorville stepped in to put out the fire in the second game of the regional. Green- ville was our final conference victim during this win splurge. The Rams played a big 35-game schedule and gave a very good account of themselves on almost every occasion. We seniors wish them the best of luck in the future. Marshall Reid.

Black and hlue places on the shins were our badges of courage. Then came volley ball and the interclass tournament, with the seniors the winner. This was followed by hasltethall. The interest in this sport was so high that we came to the gym several times at night to play. Our Tuesday evening meetings were called to order hy Phyllis Peelx. ln the ahsence of Phyllis, Margaret Yalaey tools over. Betty McCord, our secretary, was constantly reminding us of our lines.

Doris Archey had charge of the health records. age ZR Our victory girls To top the year off we gave a banquet for the basketball boys. the cheerleaders, the faculty, and the Board of Education. The gym and tahle decorations, as well as the place cards, carried out the basketball theme. lfileene Phegley had charge of the decorations, and the program was planned by Phyl- lis Peek and Charity Schultz. i t i The Ovejitas, organized three years ago, have given many pleas- ing drills during the intermission periods at the basketball games. This year -Ioan Logue and Nor- ma Stewardson, two of our cheer- leaders, held the offices in the club. joan was leader and president, and Norma was secretary. The ap- parel for this year was white pleat- ed skirts, short sleeved blouses, and anltlets. One of our most interesting and colorful drills was given at Christ- mas time. Wie carried colored lights and formed a Christmas tree. Bells accompanied us as we sang jingle Bells. At the Neoga game on Ifeh- ruary 14 one of the features of our drill was the formation of a large heart with an arrow through it. W'e had added red paper hearts to our costumes and we sang Let Me Call You Sweetheart. During our other performances the maneuvers consisted of wheels, counter-wheels, marching, counter-marching, and letter formations.

The Girls' Glee Club, composed of sixty members, UTC! at the beginning of the year and elected the fol- lowing officers: Betty McCord, president: Rosemary Webb, vice president, Dorothy Warner, secretary: and Doris Archey, treasurer. On December 18, they presented the beautiful and inspiring Christmas Cantata Music of Bethlehem by Ifred B. Holton. The solo, The Lullaby Hymn, sung Page 30 by Darlene Anderson, and the duets, To Bethlehem Draw Near by Roma Firnhaber and Shirley Mochel, and The First Christmas Carol by Darlene Ander- son and Betty McCord, were much enjoyed. The Boys' Glee Club has been small, but they have done excellent work. Their skit, The Farmers' Quar- tettef' put on at the carnival was delightful. T he Band The purpose of both clubs has been to learn about the best in music literature, to stimulate a greater love for music, and to cre- ate a desire to sing. 444 Tlie fifth hour on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays there was band rehearsal, and the band enthusiasts liked these periods very much. In November they gave an enjoyable pro- gram at the high school. Among the numbers presented was The Whistler and His Dog' featuring -Ioan Bolinger, Rosemary Younger, and Norma Janes.

The Home Economics Club opened the year with a picnic at the park at which time the following of- ficers were elected: Mary Jean Kantner, presidentg Rosemary Clawson, vice president, Doris Johnston, sec- rotary-treasurer. In October we entertained the home economics clubs of this district. The program consisted of a business meeting, group discussions, musical selections, and a skit, Truth or Consequences. A banquet for the club and the visitors was served at the Methodist Church. We had several enjoyable parties this year, such as the one at Hallowe'en time, when we entertained the F.F.A., and the Christmas party, when we went carol- ing. At our regular meetings we had outside speakers and did Red Cross work. The funds of the club were Page 32 increased by a bakery sale in February. We raised our share of the money for the memorial plaque by sell- ing sandwiches and cokes to the seventh hour classes one day. i Our annual Mother and Daughter Tea was held on May 10. Formerly only the mothers of S.H.E. girls were guests, but this year invitations were ex- tended to all the mothers of the home economics girls. A style show, featuring the clothing made by the clothing classes, refreshments, prepared and served by the foods class, games and a program provided a pleasant evening. This year our club became a member of the new national Home Economics Club. We plan to send two girls to the East Bay Camp at Bloomington this sum- mer. All in all, we have had a busy and enjoyable year. The Future Furman The Future Farmers of America was started in the Shelbyville High School, September 30, 1929. There were twenty-seven charter members, many of whom are now serving in the armed forces. Herbert Clawson, who was killed in action last year, was a loyal F,li.A. member. The present membership is forty- eight, with an average membership, over a sixteen-year period, of approximately forty boys. Our chapter is a, member of the state and national organizations. During the past year twenty-one of our boys showed one or more of their projects. Ar the poultry judging contest we won first place, with Loren XVil- son having the highest score. At the state convention which was held at the University of Illinois, Bill Hur- nett won first place in the 100-yard swim.

Look out! The snoopers are snooping. This year our Science Club has had forty- five enthusiastic members. At our regular meetings, which were held every two weeks, we had lively discussions on everything from atoms to zooids. In addition, Mr. Putnam in- structed us in a few fundamentals of aviation navigation. Now we feel about ready to take off-if we had an airplane.

Most of them give a period of their study time each day to service for the school. They are re- sponsible for keeping the library shelves in order, for taking roll, for mending old books and preparing new ones for the shelves. lt is well to keep on good terms with the stu- dents of the library stag. They are the ones who know if the new Popular Mechanics has come, where the plus books are kept, and how to find a book by Mark Twain,-to say nothing of what became of the funny page. Lying before you is the latest fJkllIl'If'lIkU. Getting out this book has not actually caused any spilling of blood, but there has been plenty of sweat, and maybe a few ICAIFS. At first all was confusion: we didn't seem to have an idea. W'hen finally we did get an idea, we didn't know what to do with it. Yet after much discussing, planning, arranging, and re- arranging we saw our yearbook take shape. XVe are grateful to our business staff because they never let us down, and to our sponsors, Mrs. Dobyns and Mr. Putnam, for their sug- gestions and assistance.

EVER SINCE EVE Johnny Clover, editor of the Pfllgllfll, got into dif- ficulty with the police force, the faculty, and the girl he loved because of the rearranging of copy by his as- sistant editor, Susan Blake. Disaster threatened but Mrs. Clover stepped in and everything ended happily.

Y I Page 36 DON'T TAKE MY PENNY Penny Pringle and her girl friend, tloanna, were certain that Penny was destined to portray Dimity West, America's sweetheart. Their determination coupled with Kerry and Greg's conspiracy succeeded in turning the entire Pringle household upside-down. The arrival of the beautiful blonde model, Gloria Lovely, alias Greg, completed the confusion. Mark Pringle's desire for a farm threatened to be lost in the melee. However, with the help of Gram, Mark got his farmg Sally, the maid, got Markg and Penny decided that she wanted to stay home and play tennis.

The main feature was the surgical operation on Mr. Fegley, performed by Doctors Putnam, Maher, and Cassida. Let's see-it wasn't the appendix, but a girdle they removed, if we saw correctly! Shirley Raab also showed her splendid ability by doing the Hula Hula in costume, too! At Homecoming we had the gym beautifully deco- rated for a big dance with Ben Bradley's orchestra. Phyllis Peek was the pretty queen, crowned by Beez0. Wfe had an interesting program with solos, girls' trio, and speeches. In March G.A.A. sponsored a real banquet in honor of the basketball boys and Coach Geiz with the faculty and Board of Education members and wives as guests. All the girls worked on the menu which consisted of tomato juice cocktail, swiss steak, buttered peas, mashed potatoes and gravy, home-made noodles, vege- table-jello salad, hot rolls, ice cream, cake and cof- fee. During the evening we were entertained by tap- dancing by Norma Stewardson and Virginia Herron, and the Andrew Sisters, or reasonable facsimilies. We will long remember the interesting biographies of the team. After the program there was dancing. This year our major campaign was a Bond Drive, a contest between the boys and girls, with the faculty in on it too, for the purpose of buying a Landing Craft Mechanized. The captains of the two teams were Phyllis Peek and Don Shasteen. W'ith a half-day holi- day as a reward for selling 525,000 worth of bonds, all four classes worked furiously to bring in the most. And, of course, you all know how it came out- THE GIRLS WON! Page 39 1 'vs 5, -Q 'X W' .b P1 3 ,.L w ' 1 :lim FQ gf:-w if . -r 54.5 .
