Little did we realize that we were destined to become the forty-niners of the 20th Cen- tury. We came to school, not equipped with pick-axes, or a shovel, not riding a mule, but carrying shiny new books and pencils, and riding in a streamlined bus. Yes-quite a difference from the gold-seekers of i849,'these education-seekers of l949. Some of us were destined to fall by the wayside on our constant struggle for our goal as did many of the pioneers of l849. Others grew weary of the long climb to striking our goal and left the Golden Gates of Education to make our way in the world. . The forty-niners of long ago blazed a trail over the Rocky Mountains leaving land- marks behind, and making history as they moved ever westward. ' We, too, made his- tory, and left landmarks behind us as we grew closer to graduation day. This history we leave to all of the future graduating classes, as a representation of the mark we have made in the history of St. Anne High School. We, as freshmen, spent our year in laying out claims to prospective ideas for the coming years. The sophomore class treated us to a Zombie Land party that was full of thrills and chills. At the beginning of our sophomore year, only sixty of the first seventy-five were left on the trail to graduation in '49. We entertained the Freshmen to a traditional Spook House party for their initiation and enjoyment. Our class won first prize for the float at the homecoming- Its in the Bag. The end of the year found us ordering our class rings and we are all looking forward to getting them in the fall. By the time our Junior year rolled around our little band or caravan had diminish- ed to forty-nine students. This year was our busiest year thus far. The officers for the year were President, Marilyn Ortman, Vice-President, Bob Smith, Treasurer, Caroline Kempen, and Secretary, Arlene Ritsema. As Juniors we all worked hard making a float for the Homecoming and were well rewarded by winning first prize again. All was not work, however. At Christmas time we had a party, went caroling through town, and then ate a lunch at the high school. l'm sure all the boys will remember that night for mistletoe was very much in use. Everyone of us was proudly displaying class rings shortly after the year had begun. A big problem confronting us was to raise enough money for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Selling candy during the noon hour was a chief source of getting money. I'm sure none of us will forget the play, Don't Take My Penny. We all had a great time practicing and presenting it. The end of the Junior year climaxed by the night of the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The gym was beautifully decorated as a Hawaiian scene and the food was ex- cellent. After the banquet some went to a movie and others danced to very soft and sweet music. l'm sure none of us will ever forget that night. The beginning of our Senior and last year found us with about the same number of students remaining from the year before. We chose very capable officers in Richard Maxey as President, Carl Ahrens, Vice-President, and Nelda DeMik, Secretary-Treasurer. We gave a Halloween party for the Juniors and a very good time was had by all. When homecoming time rolled around our class again produced a prize-winning float. Marilyn Ortman was named Queen of the homecoming day. Marilyn also won the very coveted D. A. R. award presented to Seniors for outstanding work. Everyone was very excited about getting our pictures taken and exchanging them with everybody. The play Stranger in The Night was presented by the class of '49, The play was a huge success. We are all looking forward to the first week of June when we plan to take a cruise on Lake Michigan, Now, at last, we've reached our destination. Some of us have struck it rich and some of us have not been so fortunate. However, we all feel we've accomplished some- thing. We're now looking forward to Baccalaureate and Commencement. After that, we'll be ready to stake our new and bigger claims which will insure prosperous lives for us all.

The veil is being removed and we can see and realize that it is a record of the senior class of S.A.C.H.S. of l949. This is what we discovered: how the seniors are making themselves useful. On Kankakee's radio station WKAN, Harold Sullivan is enjoying life as an announ- cer on the Sunrise Salute program at 5 o'clock each morning. George Swier is a little man behind the scenes as Harold's main engineer. A number of members turned out to become farmers, Jerry Aubertin, Cletus Boone, Bill Molson, Harlen Minor, Bob Smith, and Dick Martell are all farming within a short distance of each other. Mary Welch is married and lives in Chicago. Arlene Chamberlain has a private school in which she teaches special commercial courses. Doris Woodward is married to a man from Kankakee. The best and most expensive gladiolas are now being produced. The Best Ever with Jacob Salm, president, Keith DeYoung, First vice president, Tom Koopman, second vice president, LeRoy Kassman, treasurer, and Madeline Marcotte and Helen Derington as their secretaries. On the opposite side of our big city, the Voss Agency is in full swing with Bernie Voss, president, Richard Oosterhoff, first vice president, Charles Tedford, second vice president, Ivan DeYoung, third vice president, Harold VanDer Meer, treasurer, and Theresa Chenore as secretary. These are two of the finest corporations in the country. Arlene Ritsema is teaching music, Dorothy DeYoung, history, Patricia Marcotte, English and Spanish, at St. Anne under Gaylon Sprimont as principal. Caroline Kempen has become the wife of Richard Maxey who has become one of the most sought after lawyers of the country. Marilyn Ortman is Professor of Science at the University of Wisconsin. We have produced some white dressed girls who have become very efficient nurses. Ella Mae Rattin, Gladys Koster, and Jean Pitts are all active in this field. Joanne Pommier has become a photographer. Hollywood has attracted Nelda DeMik and Cornelia Ritsema. Nelda is a model. Cornelia is an actress. Both spend their spare time playing all kinds of sports. The sports section contains some very interesting facts. Bob Lavoie is playing with the Chicago Stags. In between halves, Vernell Zeilenga is busy twirling her baton. Carl Ahrens is pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals. Fred Conover plays for the Chicago Bears. Ethel Yoder is teaching physical education. Marilyn Groth is a well-known artist. Phyllis Barriball is busy being Mrs. Phil Hoekstra. Mary Ellen Gereau is secretary to Bob Arseneau. Don LaFond is an engineer connected with farming. Darlene DuBois has married a boy who lives iust outside of St. Anne. Mrs. Norman DuMontelle, the former Lucille Clement, is helping at the DuMonteIle Store. Darlene Darche owns the largest dress shop in St. Anne. These members have chosen a variety of interesting occupations.

The officers, Wayne Morrison President, Donald Dumais, Vice-President, Marilyn Peterson, Secretary, and Caryl Clement, Treasurer, were helped with the problems of the year by Miss Trout and Mr. Stabler. From the day school started with the greetings of old friends to the last day, when those sad good-byes were made, the Junior Class was one of much activity. The biggest problems was to raise enough money to entertain the Seniors at the spring banquet and prom. One of the first steps was to give a rousing play with the title My Wife's Fam- ily. Selling candy during the noon hour was another step toward this goal. The Junior Class took second place with their float on the Homecoming Day. This was a day of a lot of excitement for them. The Junior Class of this year is one of the largest classes in the school history. l guess Mr. Minton just doesn't realize how big this class is because he is always trying to put them in a small room for class meetings. One of the highlights of the year was the receipt of their class rings. The Junior Class is very athletic. The girls won second in both the volleyball and basketball tournaments. Five of the Junior boys went out for basketball, with Don Hoekstra on the first team. There are twenty of the class in chorus and fifteen in band 'O' SDPHCIMCIRE CLASS Officers: George Bieber, President, Mariorie Vrolyk, Vice-President, and Bobby Joe Sprimont, Secretary-Treasurer. The Sophomore class started their year by ordering class rings for next year. For the Homecoming game we made a float. Pat Rayburn and Marilyn Meier were candi- dates for Queen and rode on the Queen's float. In October the Sophomore class gave the annual initiation party to the Freshmen. ' The Sophomore class had a very successful year in athletics with many boys on the star teams. One of the girls, Carole Trudeau, was a cheerleader for our school. 0 FRESHMAN CLASS Our first meeting was on September 21. We made a float for the Homecoming Game. The Queen's attendants were Joyce Reckhemmer and Helen Koopmans from the Freshmen class. At the beginning of the year Sophomores gave the Freshmen a party.

The purpose and goal of this organization is to interest girls in athletics. Clean play, good sportsmanship, and team work are displayed. The officers are as follows: President, Ethel Yoder, Vice-President, Cornelia Ritsema, Secretary, Helen Derington, and Treasurer, Gladys Koster. The adviser, Miss Donita Von Seggen, has willingly put forth her time to help achieve the club's goal. In October a slumber party was held in the high school gym. Some of the mem- bers had a little trouble going to sleep. Ten girls and the adviser attended a play day at Momence during November. A day well spent. A volleyball tournament was held in which the Seniors won. At the end of regula- tion time, the standings were tied between Juniors and Seniors. The Varsity Club was invited to a skating party in January. Some hard spills were taken. The Seniors walked off with the high honors in basketball. Again a tie resulted between Juniors and Seniors. During the latter part of March an All-Girls' Party was held. All high school girls were invited. The State Basketball Shooting Contest was held in March. Twenty girls shot from marked spots on the floor, and the ten highest records were sent to the State. As soon as the weather permitted, a softball tourney was held. The St. Anne girls were invited to attend the annual Spring Play Day in Kanka- kee during the first part of May. The year was closed by having the initiation of all new members. Approximately twenty members were received by the Executive Committee. The officers were in charge with the adviser awarding the awards to the members who earned them. Mem- bers of the Executive Committee are the officers and the adviser with the president serving as chairman. - Cooperation hummed throughout the year between the Executive Committee and other members of the organization. O TRI-HI-Y In previous years the Tri-Hi-Y has been divided into two clubs but this year the clubs have ioined into a single organization. . The theme for the Annual Tri-Hi-Y Banquet was Christmas Carols. This theme was carried out with all of the decorations. There was also a delicious meal served. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Some of the activities this year were to have at different meetings speakers, inviting other clubs to our school for a stunt night, having a chili supper, and having tea for our mothers. The officers of the club were as follows: President, Vernell Zeilenga, Vice-President, Lois Lumkes, Secretary, Madeline Marcotte, Treasurer, Venita Vadeboncoeur, and Chap- lain, Phyllis Barriball. The sponsor was Miss Veronica Hart. Sept. Se pt.

F. A. The F. F. A. started the year's work with the election of officers in May l948. The following officers were elected to lead the Chapter for the first semester: Jacob Salm, President, Richard Martell, Vice-Presi- dent, John E. McTaggert, Secretary, Keith DeYoung, Treasurer, Donald Lafond, Reporter and Richard The- mer, Sentinel. In September the officers took a trip with Mr. Van Rheeden, Chapter Adviser, to an F. F. A. Officers School, held at Ottawa, Illinois. Early in the year, Junior groups of F. F. A. were organized in each of the olasses. These groups elected officers and carried on activities. A wastepaper drive was sponsored to earn money to pay the State and National F. F. A. dues of forty cents per member. This year the F. F. A. purchased a new four-wheel running gear for the purpose of making a new trailer. The Agriculture Shop class constructed the bed and racks in the Farm Shop. Early in the fall, a Magician Show was sponsored by the F. F. A. The purpose of the show was to earn money and to furnish an evening of entertainment. The F. F. A. was represented at the Annual International Livestock Show in Chicago . Also, at the same time, the group attended the National Farm and Garden Show. The mid-year election of officers was held in January. Kenneth Miedema was elected President. The other officers were John Koopmans, Vice-President, Richard Themer, Secretary, Ernst Lesch, Treasurer, John McTaggert, Reporter, and Richard Steven:on, Sentinel. The Annual Father and Son F. F. A. Banquet was held in April. An elaborate program was planned for the one time during the year when the treats for Dad are on the boys. The F. F. A. in the spring sponsored a garden seed sale contest. The Vitality Seed Company was selected as a source of seed because of their reputation for high quality garden seeds. The entire F. F. A. was divided into two teams. The losing team furnished refreshments and recreation at an F. F. A. party. Individual prizes were also awarded to the three highest salesmen. Twenty-seven members met the requirements for the Green Hand degree and were duly inducted into that degree. Twenty boys were awarded the degree of Chapter Farmer. This year was the first year in the his- tory of the St. Anne Chapter of F. F. A. that two boys qualified the same year for State Farmer Degree. Gerald Aubertin and Donald Lafond received this degree. We have several applicants for another year. Gerald Aubertin placed third in the Annual Sectional Public Speaking Contest. Gerald is represent- ing our chapter again this year and is gunning for the blue ribbon. For the first time the St. Anne F. F. A. produced a radio show over radio station WKAN-WKIL. Those taking part in the radio show were Jacob Salm, John McTaggert, Ernst Lesch, Richard Stevenson, and Mr. Van Rheeden. The climax of the year's activities was the awarding of the DeKalb award for the outstanding Senior in Agriculture to Jacob Salm, our first semester president. 0 F. H. A. The Future Homemakers of America, which is an organization to further interest in home economics, has been a very active organization this year. Twenty new members were initiated at the initiation held in February. Everyone enioyed the activities, to which we invited other chapters and talented speakers, espec- ially the ioint F. H. A.-F. F. A. meeting held in March. The girls were kept busy all year by working on their degrees of achievement and trying to complete the publicity book. The year came to a close with the girls entertain- ing their mothers at a Mother-Daughter Banquet. F. F. A.

This year the Cardinals lose the assistance of ten senior members of the team. These are: ends-Fred Conover, and this year's captain, Bob Lavoie, tackle-Bob Smith, guard-Leroy Kassman, center-Dick Martell, and in the backfield-Carl Ahrens, and Harlen Minor. Reserve material will also be lost in Keith DeYoung, Harold Sullivan, Donald Lafond, but the future brightens for the St. Anne Redbirds with eight returning lettermen, four of whom were regular varsity men of last year. These are Dick Barri- ball, Don Hoekstra, Jim Jackson, and Maurice Reckhemmer. Some of last year's very good reserve material may be found again in Elwood Tallman, Wayne DeYoung, Lester Walker, and Bob Sprimont. The Cardinals ended in third place in the K. V. C. losing only two conference games. The Cardinals coming season will include four home games and four games away from home. This will increase the schedule by one game over the previous sea- sons. At the end of the season the conference coaches picked an all-star football team. Those chosen from St. Anne were: for the first team-Carl Ahrens, left half, and Bob Lavoie, right end. On the second team Don Hoekstra, right tackle, was chosen. The Kankakee Daily Journal gave these boys a banquet and took them to Comiskey Park in Chicago to see the Green Bay Cardinals in action. The St. Anne Cardinal fans can look forward to another victorious season under the Cardinals hard-working, young coach, John Stabler. 0 FUUTBALL MENTOR Q John Stabler came to St. Anne High School straight from Eastern State Teachers College where he worked his way through school. John earned a varsity letter in baseball, two in basketball, and three in football. He was an all-conference all-star three successive years and was the league's most valuable player in 1945. An example of this is shown in the two touchdowns he scored while playing against lllinois State Normal. , Stabler is noted by opposing coaches for teaching character to his players. He is a swell coach and a popular teacher, which adds up into making him a grand person, respected by all.

The play was written by Paul S. McCoy and directed by Miss Veronica Hart, speech teacher at St. Anne High School. The cast consisted of the following people: Sylvia Lee Caroline Kempen Mable Crane Marilyn Ortman Grant Terry Richard Moxey J. T. Rutledge Gaylon Sprimont Velda Stevens Joanne Pommier Clifford Newkirk Carl Ahrens Nona Pollard Madeline Marcotte Eddie Beach Donald Lafond Rose Jordan Arlene Ritsema Sam Fisk Robert Smith Marcella Bender Nelda DeMik Sandra King Dorothy DeYoung The story took place in the Boulevard Hotel Book and Gift Shop. Sylvia Lee and Mable Crane owned the shop. Eddie Beach was the bellhop and Nona Pollard was the elevator operator in the hotel. These two young people were in love and in the absence of the owners they took care of the shop. Grant Terry was a newspaper man from New York. J. T. Rutledge was a retired business man and his private secretary was Velda Stevens. Clifford Newkirk, a law student, was in love with Mable Crane, but was too bashful to let her know it. Rose Jordan was Sylvia Lee's literary agent. Sam Fish was the hotel detective. The hotel athletic director was Marcella Bender. Sandra King, a professional lady wrestler, came to the hotel at the request of Marcella Bender to ex- hibit her talents. Grant Terry came to this hotel to see the owners of the book shop about a planned murder he overheard in a restaurant. The name of the victim to be murdered was hid- den among one of the gifts that were sent from New York. The murderer was already staying in this hotel and was supposed to purchase the gift with the name in it. When told this story, everyone thought he had a reason to be murdered. The hotel detective was called in on the case, but did not discover anything. Nona Pollard gave Eddie Beach a traveling bag to keep in his room. This traveling bag aroused suspicion throughout the play. Sylvia Lee had a secret she was keeping and even the lady wrest- ler was suspected of being the murderer. Grant Terry told the girls to trust in him and not to sell any of the gifts. This part of the drama, in which various customers at- tempted to buy a box of stationery and were refused a sale, brought many laughs. After the book shop was closed for the night, Grant Terry returned and took the name from the box of stationery and placed his own name in it. The murderer came and took the box, then shots were heard. The intended victims came into the shop and learned the solution to the mystery from Grant Terry. The murderer-to-be was Sam Fisk, who was posing as the hotel detective, the intended victim was J. T. Rutledge, The Mysterious traveling bag turned out to be Nona Pollard's hope chest. Sylvia Lee was the author of the book How to Capture the Man of Your Choice , in the end she got the man of her choice-who was Grant Terry. Sandra King turned out to be Clifford New- kirk's aunt. Clifford and Mable Crane also had plans for a wedding. The people who assisted the cast were as follows: Stage Managers ....,,............................................

SPEECH For the first time in several years, speech instruction has been an important part of the English courses. Through rotation ot periods, Miss Hart has instructed each of the four classes in six weeks ot badly needed fundamentals of public speaking. The climax of this course was the district speech contest, in which many students took an active part. It is hoped that, by continuing speech instruction in St. Anne High School, the students who graduate every year will be better able to meet competition in a world that demands capable public speaking from those who expect to reach the top! 0 JUNICR PLAY CAST Dorris Talley, Lois Lumkes, Wilodene Soucie, Kenneth Miedema, Dorothy Klimcyzk, Verne Bear, Madge Egan, Lester Walker, Donald Dumais, Albert Hebert, Nell Salm.
