Miss Fern Frank has for many years given invaluable assistance to the jun- ior and senior classes in their class play productions. Miss Eileen Scholz with her very ex- cellent art talent has willingly helped the high school classes with any needed art work. We dedicate this book to them not only as a gesture of appreciation for their help, but also for the school-time friendship which has developed and will certainly last in the years to come. adma Z -w I I M' M r mx X ' A Lf gm 1 , , , , x 'X X Q x ,.

THE CLASS HISTORY The year is 1995 and lt ls table of 55-ers. This ought to can well remember our first day Bablngton, Carol Jean Baggs, Jo of school hack in l9h3. There were once again time to attend the Snarland Alumni Banquet. Hell, here's the be a good time to talk over old tlmesi We're nll in our fifties, but we eighteen of us: Jerry Anderson, James Anne Cannbell, Lloyd Davis, Vary Alice Downey, John Englebrecht, Horrlelle Jury, Loretta Kear, Harold Kennedy, Lucille McCullough, Russell Fedearis, Donna Nlghswonger, Bobby Worst, William Rebholz, June Howe, Doris Snellious and Joanne Thielbar. Dur teacher was Edythe Babington. Remem- ber how we were scared soeechless every tire those big high-schwolers cane bounding down the stairs? The next year a new rember was added to the faculty. This was Viss Eileen Scholz, who was so oatlent with all nineteen of us. During this year, flva had left and six new classmates joined us. It was during the first two years that we used the system of monitors, where certain students heloed the teacher. That was really a privilege! The third year we advanced across the hall where Mrs. Myrtle Monier gave us further instruction. This year we lost five but gained ten, one of which was Vaurltta Streitmatter. Our class seemed to be growing larger each year. It seemed that we would have a new taught us. Twenty-two were enrolled in all of those stairs to get to our roar. Hare we had Miss Fern Frank as our Haycraft and Barbara McDonald. This made us a class of fifteen. very vanable teacher. Nine In the sixth grade we gained four, selling magazines and earning money all two Peoria parks, the newsoapor office, teacher every ynar, for in the fourth grade, Mrs. Joseohine Palmqulst this class and we just longed For the next year when we could climb left and we gained two who were Norman one being one of our graduates, Dean Probyn. This year we had fun kinds of ways so that we could take a trio. This trio was to the and the Hoszell dairy olant. In the seventh grade, under Mrs. Margaret Wilson, we sold cards and earned more money and took another trip. This one was north to the Palisades, Grant's hone, and a little way into Wisconsin. Can't think of the boy who threw snitballs and had to chew a whole nint full for Mrs. Wilson that year! We then entered the eighth grade and we really thought we were grown uo. with Mrs. Wilson still as our teacher, we worked hard and took a trio to the Tulln Festival in Holland, Michigan. This was quite an experience for most of us. As graduation neared, wa realiind that there would be no more birthday osrtles to celebrate nor any holiday treats. At graduation, twenty-one -ado un our class and these were: Jerry Anderson, Jo Anne Campbell, Marilyn Cockarhsr, Ivan Daltor, Jim Wavls, Lloyd Davis, Bill Eavls, Joanna Haycraft, Jack Herncjar, Merrielle Jury, Lucille McCull'ugh, Barbara McDonald, Dean Probyn, Daniel Roberts, Maurltts Streltratter, and Joanne Thislbar. Five LaPrafrie boys were added to our gradust'ng class and these were Bob Turnbull, John Curry, Harry Colwell, Rot rt S-ith, and Ray Rwmbold. Our eighth grade graduation motto was: Children Today-Citizens Tonorrow. The class flower was a white csrnstlon and our colors were pink, green, and white. All the graduates from eighth grade came into high school oxcent Marilyn Cockerhsm, Joanna Haycraft, Daniel Roberts, and Hebert bmlth. Don Lucke, Ruth Ann Ryan, and Doris Srellious were three new faces in our freshman class. We lived through initiation and enjoyed our class narty and looked forward to being sophomores because we would no longer Le treated as babies. He started out the Sooho-ore class with twerty but lost three--Harry Colwall, Don Lucko, and Bill Davis. Tony Golsta joined our group in the snring. Our first activity as Soohomores was a hsyrack ride. Our assembly consisted of two rovles. This was also the First year that tha F.H.A. girls had a slumber party. I hear that there has never been a thing like lt to hit Snarland since! In the Junior year we gained Ruth Stuff and Pat Jones and lost Tony Goista. The 'lrst big event was the day we received our class and showed them off like crazy! Next came our class nlay, 'headlo' success. Mr. Fred Llnoencott directed lt. F'nally it was time for planned and worked for all sor'ng. It was hold in the LaSalle Hoon The theme, Starlight Gardens, was carried out durlng tie nven'ng. The next year we were sonhlsticated Sen'ors. We Jost Hay Rurb the fall we worked on our olay, 'Tha Eoard'nq House Reach' under th it turned out successful nlao. Homecoming was the new! thing to be closely and we gave our assembly. Planning the Annual, the Ch'cngo all sor'ng. A Jerry Anderson, Hands Moline, and rings. He were roslly oroud of those For a weddln which was quite a the Junior-Senior Prom which we had of the Pore Marquette Hotel in Peoria. ld and hnth Stuff. F'rst thing in direction of Miss Clare Godsel and nlanncd. Christmas Dinner followed trio, and graduation kent us busy As I recall, among the sixteen who graduated, there wore f've who had gone all the tw-lve years together and those were Joanne Thlelbar, Lucille McCullough, Jo hnne Carobell, Yerrielle Jury, and Lloyd Davis. It was wonderful talking over old times at Snarlard High here at the Alumni Banquet tonight, and I hope that we can all return many more years from now and bring back some more remombrarces of school days. s SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1955 of Sparland High School, do hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament, in form and manner as follows: I, Barbara McDonald, hereby will my membership in the 'Dewers Club' to Dolly Gauwitz Keep the Chillicothe interest circulating around the halls of Snarland High. I, Dean Probyn, will my ability to be seen, but not heard to Shirley Olson. I think you'll find it useful sometimes, Shirley. I, Mauritta Streitmatter, will my naturally black, wavy hair to Elsie Schultz. But don't throw away your bobbl pins, Elsie, it might rain. I, Lloyd Davis, will my driving ability to Roger Griswold. Be sure to watch out for those unexpected water fountains. I, Joanne Thielbar, hereby leave my dog's muzzle to Bernadine Hanklns. This is guar anteed to cut down on the constant chatter. I, Bob Turnbull, will my tendency for being the 'life of the narty' to Melvin Olson. You also might find the joke book in my study hall desk of great value. I, Jo lnne Campbell, do hereby leave my dlmpled smile to Barbara Blggar. You can save it for that special pilot of yours. I, Jack Herncjar, will all my unsigned excuse blanks to 'Punk' Kennedy. They'll make a big fire anyway. I, Ruth Ann Ryan, will some of my thirty belts to John Deltrich. Make good use of them. I, Ivan Dalton, leave my cartooning ability to Roger Hoskins. You might even become Sparland's first great artist. I, Lucille McCullough, do hereby willfrrwmsical ability to Joe Watkins. Always re- member: never be sharp, never be flat, but always be natural. I, John Curry, will my ability to understand Mr. Turnbu1l's jokes to Paul Mutta. It's really very simple after you think about them for a few hours. I, Doris Spellicus, do hereby will my long eye lashes to Beverly Summitt. You also might find my eye lash curler useful. I, Jim Davis, will my centennial beard to Frank McCuskey. You may as well have my unused razor blades, too. I, Merrielle Jury, leave my straight uA'u average to Carol Lutes. Be sure to keep your name on the top of the Honor Roll. I, Patricia Jones, will my collection nf love letters to Miss Hadley. These are to be used for Shorthand Dictation in the comidg years. We, the Class of 1955, leave to the entire school the example we have set as worthy scholars and blameless students. Our record has been spotless and in all the annals of our career we have done no deed, as a class, that we need blush for. To the Junior Class, we bestow our richest treasures. Our Senior dignity, our excel ling wit, our superlative brllliancy, our good looks, our charming manners, our favor with the teachers, our splendid grades, and our triumnhant exit as the most popular class ever to pass through the portals of Sparland High School. These are the rare treasures that we now hand down to the coming Senior Class. -5 xml, To prophesy, according to Webster, ls to foretell, to look lmaglnarlly into the future, or to tell as s prophet. I am going to try to fulfill this definition in the following document. On the night of May 20, 1955, the Seniors of Sparland High School made an agreement after the Class Night program to meet exactly ten years from that nlylt for a reunion. The place was to be at the home of the most successhsl person of the class. It la now Hay, 1965, and the reunion ls to take place. Everybody has been contacted and the party ls ready to be held. The place for the party is to be at the moat spacious and luxurious home on Staten Island ln New York--that of Hr. Ivan Dalton Es . Mr. Dalton, or 'Ivan the mad Russian' as we best remember hlm, immediately acquired fortune m ame a er e was graduated from S.H.S. Mr. Dalton got an exscutlve job, through the government, managing a rubber stamp production company ln New York. Since that appointment, Ivan has become extremely wealthy although he has never married. He, with his immense wealth, is still playing the field with every beauty ln the world from China to Africa, although Mr. Dalton has been quoted as saying that the mad Russian girls still hold the greatest attraction for him. Among one of the first guests to arrive, Mr. Dalton told ms, was Hlss Doris S ellleus. Doris certainly did all right for herself in this dark cruel world. She is the manufac urar o g r a oc era. it seems that she just never had enougl. room in her locker at school so after she graduated, she went right into production. The going was tougx at first, but Doris not being me to give up easily, has developed her ldaa into a nation- wide concern called the Spelllous Spacious Lockers. Doris is another sneaker of our class who let success crowd out the thouyxt of marriage. The second to arrive was the Reverend James Davls. It seems that Jim, as most of us remember hlm, got caught Ln a most interesting and exeftlng evangelistic movement and thus joined it and devoted himself to healing and curing people throuyx mass meetings. The Reverend Dav1s'a work has taken him to all parts of the world, and as I get the story, Davls married a Hindu woman from Pakistan who was also ln the evangelistic business and they have fifteen little Hindus. They say Hlss Barbara McDonald has just arrived. I guess that I will go out to see lf Barb has changed any. 01, my gosh, Barbara has lost all of those freckles. It seems that Barb went into the production of F0-PRE!! after she was graduated from beauty school. N0-PREK is an ointment tht removes freckles from the skin and through this product she has become quite well off. Doris told me that Barbara married s freckle-faced Mongolian, and, after removing his freckles, she sent him back to Mongolia where he was to introduce her product to the much frecklsd Mongolian people. The guests seem to be pouring in quite rapidly now--why, there is John C rr I I hav:-n't seen him since graduation. I guess it was during the time that he served in tha Armed orces at Hauntz, as he was called by a few, get his big break ln life. John has always been nuts about these science fiction pictures, such al 'Invaders from liars, The Thlng, atc., with his favorite actor being Boris Karloff. John is now a stand-in for this type of picture, and his name has been changed to Haunch Zombo. I guess that since he started this work, he has spent half of his time in some robot or zombie outfit. This work must be quite exciting and different. I see Dean Prob n is sitting ov r there on the couch, trying to strike up a conversation with Miss Spelllous. T think Lha dr. rrobyn went into the moat excitirg type sr work of any member of the class. Dean is with the F.B.I. Think of the excitement that a paws-an would get by going to the door of a house ln a hoodlum district and saying that you represent 'Puller Brushes, Incorporatedf' oh, well, maybe it wouldn't be so excit- ing, but I imagine that lt ls rather profitable. Over on the couch next to Dvan ls Merrlelle Jur . Talking to John Curry, she tells how things are for her. Merrlelle always planned to become a nurse an evo e her life to taking care of the sick and afflicted. But after she completed training and started working in a hospital, one of her patients turned out to be her future husband. The pntlent's name was Jacques Gabor, who was s famous dress designer in Paris. After he was cured, he and Merrlelle were wed and both returned to Paris. I would wager that Morrlelle ls one of the best dressed ladies present tonight and she will probably remain so as long as her husband continues ln this business. me of the few to remain around the original locality of the class of 1955, is ucllle Ectullou h. After being graduated, Lucille started apprentice work with Hrs. E. B. Jones in the floral s op n scon, llnols. Due to s new tsacher's job ln the state of Washington for Fr. Jones, Mrs. Jones was forced to give up the floral ,hop and thus Lucille took lt over. It seems that she has'been quite successful ln the business and has opened four other shops in various places throughout the vicinity. Lucille ls also another one who let the problems of business crowd out the thoxght of matrlmony. The gathering ls now starting to take the shape of the old 'SS class. There ls Jo Anne Cam bell, who they say has taken up tha career of being an author. Jo Anne ls widely known for her oo s on et quette. She was always the most lady-like of the girls ln the class, and I guess she is going to try to make better ladies and gentlemen out of the younger class through her books on correct manners, etc. Jo Anne has been married five different times and has a total of fifteen children. As classmates, we remember that she said that she would probably never get mrrled, but it looks as lf she did all right in that fleld. It seems that some of the class has stuck together even after these long years. Joanne Thlelbar and Ruth nn R an have been like sisters ever since the graduation in '55. They went immediately to feorla after t e sc oo year and took secretarial jobs with the Scotch Paper Company. The girls room at the Y.W.C.A. and on the side they do some odd jobs. Ruth Ann, or Pootch as some of us knew her, gives swimming lessons on the side and Joanne does an lmmsnse amount of knitting of socks, and clothe for the soldiers in Africa. I guess that the glrla haven 't given up tm thought of marriage, but they are very particular about the kind of man that they want to get 'hooked up' with. Money seems to be the most hard-to-find factor in the men of these days! Une of the most shocking things that occurred in the old class is marriage of two members of the class. It seems that Pat Jones and Llo d Davis got married just two years after graduation from high school and, of all things, they became a arm am y. Thu farm is located in the rich, fertile part of the 'Old Hollow' in the vicinity of Sparland. The Davis family has been quite successful and they have raised u whole squad of little Davis 's numbering seventeen at the last count. Another girl of the old class to remain around the hometown is Maurltta Strsltmatter. Mert, always being a farm girl at heart, has become s devout nog raiser md chicken olucxer. He:-75 1-:ent Into the fu'-ing business by herself for the flrst four or five years after graduation, then she married some man whom she met up at the stockyards in Chicago while she was shipping some hogs there. Thelr farm is located in the heart of Steuben County ln Illinois and it consists of 6314 acres of fertile land. As a sldeline from her farm chores, Hart took up chicken plucklng. Hart la said to have broken tm nlucking record at the Marshall-Putnam Fair. She can have a chicken completely plucked in 67 seconds. Mert and her husband have raised quite a crop of children for themselves. They have had four sets of trlplats and one set of twins and all of the kids have becane champion corn huakers and nanny goat mllkers except one little girl, and she just sits around and studies her shorthand and stenography. Mr. Dalton just told me that the last guest ls coming down the drlve now. Golly, would you look at that huge car, and that flag waving from the top of lt. The flag seems to be the Stars and Bars flag of the southern states during the Civil War. Now the car has stooped md the guest le getting out. Oh, it 's the southern loyalist, Jack Herne ar. During the study of the Civil 'Jar back in high schon., .J-.ck always thought that the South got a y ea , snd, it seems that after lnneritlng s- large sum of money, Jack went into the southland and recreated an old fashioned plantation with slaves, just as it was before the war. This guy, always a playboy, really goes for the southern hospitality, and they say he ls saving Confederate dollars because he believes that the South will rise again! Well, I believe that takes care of all of the guests. Following the dinner, Mr. Dalton, Esq., is going to have everyone give some kind of talk on what they have done and accomplished during the ten years since hlgx school days. Ch, as for myself, I am Bob Turnhu and I sm Mr. Daltcn's private valet and butler. I have been with Ivarhever since school days an ue o my loyalty and service I will probably be with him for the rest of -ny e. We are the Seniors And in bidding our We 'd like to leave About our past and Together we have stormed the years, Have downed defeat and conquered fears: Together we have climbed the hill ---- Joanne, Merrielle, Jo Anne, Lucille. Lloyd, too, was by our side, And all the rest who here abide. Yes, there was John who led the class: His skill at 'math' no one could pass. And Bobby 's reputation grew ---- He marveled at the things he knew. Who could remember all the dates They crowded into our poor pates? Yet Jack was with ua all the while! With his jaunty style and his cocky smile. And let ua not forget dear Dean, Who, though very quiet, was often seen. And then there 's Doris, with her smile so shy--- And always so sweet, she should catch any guy. But let us not forget Ruth Ann--- ' what a wonderful wife she 'll make some man.

The theme was nTorch of Democracyn with the Statue of Liberty and girls dressed in foreigh costumes to represent other countries. We have tried something different this year. The girls get points for different things such as being on committees or helping with the float. The eight girls with the highest number of points at the end of the year will get to take a trip. One of the F.H.A. girls' projects for this year was collecting clothes to send to Korea. Another was putting on a program for the people at the UShady Elms Convales- cent Home in Chillicothe. Several of the girls played or sa and then served f h E ng re res ments to everyone. All seemed to enjoy lt. 'Hobo Dey' was held again this year. The girls did small jobs such as washing windows, cleaning, house, raking lawns, etc. At Ch 1 t r s mas time the girls went caroltng to the different homes in Lacon. National F.H.A. Week was November l-S. On Monday, we wore our F.H.A. pins: Tuesday, we cleaned our lockersg Wednesday, we wore something red and white: Thursday, we kept our desk tops cleang Friday, we changed our hair styles. November h, Mrs. Hildred wilson talked and demonstrated hair styling, cutting, and setting hair. February 7, the F.H.A. girls had a Tuoper Ware plastic party with Mrs. Esther Plach d er as emonstrator. This was another F.H.A. money making plan. April 1, the girls served the F.F.A.

Host points have been earned through extra gym classes and stunts. A few of the girls have passed tests in basketball, baseball, and various other sports. The last semester we sponsored the sale of sweet shirts and jackets with our school emblems on them. We also sold emblems for sweaters. The final event of the year was the spring play day. This was held on May lh, and a large number of girls attended. The seniors were unable to attend as this was the same week end as their senior trip. PRP CLUB le, the students and teachers of Sparland High School, do hereby unite to form the Pep Club of Sparland High School for the betterment of athletics and school spirit. Our goals will be good conduct, good sportsmanship, and above all, good relationship towards opposing schools and their off1c1als.' A member chosen by the club from each class and the cheerleaders chose the above creed which was signed by all members. We feel that our club has helped to get more to the games, to promote snortl anship. and to build up school spirit. N ,B-f .NX I 7 yr. I! EL cincuno zsriior.

Although our Spanish class taught by Miss Hadley was small this year, we decided to organize a club and plan extra activities besides our regular class. On October 18, we went to a Pan-American party at Kewanee High School where we met with about two hundred and fifty others. December 18, we attended the Christmas party and program at Manual High School in Peoria where we sang 'hexicali Rosa and Jackie Stanfield and Eulonda Jones danced 'LaCh1apanecas.' Here we won a second prize with a Christmas card made by the club and entered in the card contest. On December Zh, we each contributed a number to a Christmas party in our class. On February 3, the F.H.A. Club asked us to add our Spanish song to their program given at the Shady Elms Convalescent Home. The last meeting was April 16 at Pekin High School where we met with clubs from seven other schools At this meeting Judy Osborne sang, 'Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree With Anyone Else But He,' in Spanish, of course. 3 xml ,.,,, DRIVERS' EUUCATIOI CLASS Left to Right: Dorothy Appel, Louise Waddell, Tommy Ryan, Bobby Slutz, Mr. Turnbull Clnstructorb, Ruth Ann Ryan, Sharon Schupp, Joanne Thlelbar, Patricia Jones, Shirley Olson, Elsie Schultz, Ruth Ann Hencher, Bernadine Hankins We think this will be a popular course as long as Mr. Turnbull is willing to trust his life to so many 'greenhorn' drivers. This year, in a jerky manner of course for awhile, we zoomed, screeched, and whizzed around in a nifty Oldsmobile. with both indoor discussions and outside meetings, we feel that we have learned the rules of the road, how to manipulate a car, what makes it work, and the im- portance of being a safe driver.

He writes to her and boasts of his great wealth although he lives in the very worst of conditions. Gracie May, Homer's sister, finds some of the letters and thinks he is writing to a local girl, Bertha Blairhouse. Bertha arrives on the scene when she takes refuge from a snow storm at the Hollow bone house. Then, to mmm matters more complicated, Melissa Dugan arrives at the Hollowbone home and tells of being lost in a snow storm while looking for her rich Homer. Homer then tries to hide his identity but Melissa finds out and her method of revenge was very entertaining. Homer becomes engaged to Bertha, whom he dearly dislikes, and during this time he sometimes thinks he is a dog. The play had a surprise ending and was a big success.

The story is about a 13-year-old Wilbur Maxwell who has always wanted a bicycle. He could not persuade his parents to buy him one. The father and mother leave home for a week on a business trip so Wilbur gets busy to find a way to earn money with which to buy a bicycle. He rents every room in the Maxwell home, for a week. However, before the story closes, many many problems grew into great troubles, but finally ends in Wilbur getting his bicycle. 1 Q , , -Lhg :L Angw., -5, ufil- El W 9 5.-M, , , H. ,I - - 1 -P, A - ,, - J f . .

Many stayed for the dance and queen corona- tion. The gym was elaborately decor- ated in red and green carrying out the Christmas theme. Since Sparland's mascot is the moun- tain goat, and Rut1and's the ranger, these decorated the side walls. The stage was outlined with Christmas colored lights. Red and green streamers formed the background of the stage. Around the queen's chair was a frame so that when the queen was on her throne, she was pretty as a picture. The dance began around 10:30 p.m. with the queen coronation. With Dick Heber'e orchestra play ing some choice music, the pro- cession got underway. Down the white aisle, in the spotlight, came Janet Fleming and Gary McCullough leading the procession. Then came Marjorie Gallup, the freshman candidate and her chosen escort, John Die- trich: Donna Gill, sophomore candidate and her escort, Bill Hoody: Donna lighawonger, the junior candidate and escort, Louis Griesg Lucille McCullough, senior candidate and her chosen escort, Dean Probyn. This was a very exciting moment for none of the candidates knew whom the classes had chosen until the pro- cession had gotten on the stage and it was announced. Louis Gries, the escort of Donna lighswonger, crowned her our homecoming queen. after the king and queen led the proces- sion off the stage, the royal court led the first dance, which was a progressive one. Everyone enjoyed the eoronation, and a wonderful evening dancing to Dick Heber's orchestra.

Although the very first Sparland school is now the resident home of Miss Della M. Taylor on Church Street our present school is standing on me site gr-Q1-.ned wma 10, 15113, from the United States to John Cornell. The first brick building built here for 316,000 burned February 10, 1905. However, the cornerstone for our present building was laid June 28, 1905, and was ready for use in October of that year, and with additions in 1930 and 1950 has been struggling to keep up with the increasing enrolments. From this building there has been graduated a group of sen- iors each year as the first high school here was organized by Mr. J. R. Bouton. The first class was graduated ln June, 1395, with one member, Frank Bussell, completing the course of study. Our school, fifty years old at the same time that Sparland is one hundred, has seen many students come and go. And new may the new building, which the present administration is planning to make one of the best of its size in the state, be as useful to future students and help all to be good citizens. hf' Depo ZL N C6'f2Z6f2n?5z2 Fgaufe 2.67 Y ' 'A 1 V I . or ' ' X, 'To 1T.mo IWW Bmea Eb 10,1105 vcbu1lT DJ,13,l105 xf Daw UIQ, vfIL,,.x 0 15- og Y Parbg We we-cY I-ICE A., IQHE11: gg- ' V u ERP: 'X.a.,.f .
