Swv Cadets The cadets this year have done a number of unusual jobs in addition to their regular iobs of corridor monitors, initialing slips of students passing through the halls, and serving as guides escort- ing visitors through the halls and supplying them with any information they might desire. On BIE day in November some cf the cadets were chosen to escort the businessmen of St. Anne through the classrocms of the High School. Other cadets were chosen to show the men displays set up in the shop by members of each classroom, and to explain these exhibits to them. The purpose of BIE Day was to show the businessmen of the town how students are prepared for the business world in the classroom. The cadet squad for this year has done a very effective job toward maintaining an orderly and well ccnducted school. As a reward for their services they were excused from a semester exam at the end of each semester if they had a scholastic average of 80 or above. Jerry Klienert presided as captain of the cadets. He was assisted by Beverly Gereau who served as Secretary. Miss Mary Trout was our sponsor and advisor. Student Council The Student Council is the governing organization of the school. It is composed of fourteen studentsg two freshmen, three sophomores, four juniors and five seniors who work for the better- ment of the school and community. April of last year brought about the electing of Jimmie Sprimont as Student Council president. ln September the Council elected Mary Cox Vice President, Janice Beaupre, Secretary, Florence Fortin, Treasurer. The first project in the fall was the All School Party. In October the Council was very busy with the Homecoming--Pep rally, Snake dance, Class floats, and Queen. Other projects undertaken by the Council were the handbook, March of Dimes, eighth grade clay, Magazine drive, and the sponsoring of six professional talent assemblies. Bernadine Gernon, Gerald Klinert, Ozzie Edwards, Ray Hinrichs, and Richard Hicks attended the District convention at Yorkville. April twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth two students of the Council attended the State Convention in Chicago at the Sherman Hotel. Student Council Sponsors are Miss Trout and Mr. Minton. Future Teachers of America The ofhcers of the Future Teachers are Pat Therien, President, Gloria Schwartz, Vice Presidentg Caryl Newton, Secretary, Beverly Gereau, Treasurer.

Included in it was: organization news, class news, sports news, interviews, jokes, gossip, original stories and poems written by the royal subjects plus other interesting items. p Librarian Club The Librarian Club started its first year as an organization with 12 members. Seven of these members who are Joanne Grondo, Ethel Robinson, Ethel Hubler, Pat Therien, Mabel Moran, and Charlottie Meredith, take care of the Library during different periods of the day, while the others have charge of the magazines. T hose with that responsibility are Marilyn Moran, Donnie Adams, Gerald Egan, and Dick Zigtema. The purpose of the Librarian Club is to keep order in the Library and to classify and number all the books according to the Dewey Decimal System. Five of our girls along with Mr. Mead attended the first meeting of the Illinois Stu- dent Librarians at Watseka on December 4th, From this meeting Joanne Grondo was chosen to represent St. Anne at a meeting in Urbana, Illinois on February 21. The Eastern Division of Illinois Student Librarian was formed on that day and St. Anne has the privilege of belonging to it. Q Although the Librarian Club is still in its infancy form its hopes for a great future will be carried out by its able sponsor, Mr. Mead.

The first step in cur F.F.A. program is to elect out chapter officers. Those nominated and elected to lead our F.F.A. this year were: President, Robert Ritsema, Vice President, Gerald Klienert, Secre- tary, Harold Ritsema, Treasurer, Milton Cyrier, Reporter, Richard Hicks, and Sentinel, Robert Wyatt. During the first part of the year these officers along with their advisor, Mr. Van Rheeden, at- tended Officer Leadership School at camp Show-Waw-Na-See on Rock Creek. Two delegates will be selected to represent our F.F.A. chapter at the state F.F.A. convention to be held at the University cf Illinois in june. Some of the activities open to F.F.A. members to participate in are: Public Speaking, Parlia- mentary Prccedure Contest, Livestcck Judging Contest, Soil Judgment Contest, F.F.A. Talent Shows and the County and Vocational Agricultural Fairs. The F.F.A. earns money in various ways to carry on the activities of the chapter. This includes Garden Seed Sales, the making and selling of Concrete Hog Troughs, Scrap Drives, Chain gilts and often a special activity during the winter such as a Donkey Basketball game. The money made from these activities is used to entertain Dads of members at a Father and Son Banquet. Some new tools and equipment are purchased each year for the agriculture department. A small part of it goes for recreation in the form of a party, usually with the F.H.A. Each semester two student teachers from the University of Illinois are assigned to St. Anne Com- munity High School to get experience in the teaching of Vocational Agriculture. A student teacher is a prospective teacher of vocational agriculture who is fulfilling the last of his requirements as a teacher. Student teaching for the teacher is comparable to internship for the Doctor of Medicine. The student teacher must take part in every phase of the department program. One of the major units of Farm Shop Work is welding. The boys are allowed to bring in projects from home that they want to weld or they may make new projects out of iron. Some of the projects that students have made are: two and four wheeled trailers, flare-boxwagons, rock wagons, hog feeders and many other metal projects. This year from the University of Illinois, The F.F.A. purchased an electric matching board. With this the Vo-Ag student may test their skill in the judging of nails, screws, and bolts, along with livestock, and farm seeds. We have a modern soil testing laboratory where students are allowed to bring their soil and test it for limestone, phosphate, and potash. F.F.A. members also test soil for the farmers of the community when it is brought in to the school. Our agriculture department has quite a nice tool cabinet. This cabinet was also constructed by students in the farm shop. At the end of each period one boy is assigned to check tools to make certain that all are back in the cabinet. Our motto is A place for everything and everything in its place. F.F.A.

The F.H.A. or Future Homemakers of America started the year with ninety members en.olled. The ofiicers for this year are: President, Mary Coxg Vice President, Bernedine Gernong Secretary, Yvonne Sirois, Treasurer, Janice Beaupie, and our committee chair- men are: Mayda Laney, Lucille Ponton, Betnadine Cyrier, Sandra Soucie, Viola Tallman, and Nancy Eichholz. Our activities for the year really began in July, when Mary Cox attended State Lead- ership Camp at Bloomington. In September all the officers made the trip to Herscher, where they attended the Offi- cers Leadership Training Meeting. The World Christmas Festival, UNESCO Gift Coupon Plan, and the observing of United Nations Day were the main points of interest in October. November found us very busy conducting a clothing drive, observing F.H.A. Week, and preparing a radio broadcast on Christmas ideas. Some of the things we did during F.H.A. Week were: sending a basket of fruit to the Old Folks Home and having a F.H.A. birthday party. The main attraction in December was the Daddy-Date Night Christmas Party, at which time the Dads were the guests of their daughters. The fathers were entertained with readings, songs, and games, followed by a smorgasbord supper. In February we gave our second broadcast, this time on children's diseases. The initia- tion of new members also took place during this month, with 20 new members initiated. April proved to be another busy time. We gave another broadcast this time on careers in Home Economics. We attended a Rally Day in Gibson City, which most will agree was lots of fun. The year's activities ended with the Mother-Daughter banquet, which always seems to be a big event. Through our projects during the year we try to develop creative leadership by mak- ing it possible for every member to participate in planning and doing. Our chapter stresses individual responsibility and cooperation so that members will become more co- operative family members. All in all the F.H.A. seemed to have a successful year with plenty of help from Mrs. Guy Cox, our chapter mother, and Miss Emma Snook our sponsor. F .H.A.

He was the first person to win a public speech contest and was the leader of dramatic festivals at that time. He introduced speaking lines and masks into the first Greek theater. Students who were interested in dramatics became members of the Dra- matics Club and remained members until they received ten points. Then they became members of the Thespians. In order to receive points they served on various committees, took part in plays, speech contests, etc. For every ten points after the first ten, members received stars. Some Thespians who were more active in Thespians became five star members. Thespians Initiation was February 23. The members who were to be in- itiated wore formal dress. Members who had been initiated and members of the Dramatics Club served on the various committees necessary to make the Initia- tion a success. Thespians this year have been very active. They participated in programs, took part in Speech Contests, junior and Senior Class plays, and participated in various talent assemblies. Dramatics The Dramatics Club is an organization which is open to membership to any- one in school who wishes to join. Four students belonging to the Dtamatics Club who participated in the District Speech Contest in Bradley were: Janice Beaupre, Sandra Soucie, Stephen Woodruff, and Bernadine Getnon. Of these four Bernadine Getnon became eligible to compete in the Sectional Contest in Joliet. Dramatics Club members were invited to the Thespian initiation in the Spring. They also plan to attend a stage play in Chicago some time before the end of school. During the noon hours the Drama Club sponsored a talent show for every one in school who thought they had talent.

The Homecoming parade was led by the band, which played On Wisconsin Illinois Loyalty and Notre Dame Victory March as well as many other popular college marches. A Christmas Concert was presented by the Band and Choir in co-operation with the Dramatics Club. Several Christmas Carols were sung by the Choir with the Band providing the music. A special concert was presented by the Band and Choir before the Chamber of Commerce, March 19, 1953. Our annual Spring Concert was held on March 27. The Band played at all the home football and basketball games. This helped pep the team as well as the fans up. Everyone enjoyed the music provided. An election was held at the beginning of the second semester to elect officers. This was quite an improvement and provided something out of the ordinary. In conclusion, we hope next year will be as enjoyable and as successful in the Music Department as this one has been.

Patsy LaFond was chosen Presidentg Viola Tallman, Vice Presidentg Pat Therien, Secretaryg and Shirley Kremer, Treasurer. Mabel Moran was our representative who attended the G.A.A. camp at East Bay Camp, Lake Bloomington, in June. In the fall the club was represented at a Play Day in Chicago Heights. La- ter in the year the girls went to Kankakee to participate in a Dance Workshop. Plans are being made at present to sponsor a Spring Playday. The Intramural noon hour games that were played between the girls were speedball, volleyball, and basketball. The girls who wanted to play at noon were divided up into teams and a captain was selected for each team. In the fall an archery tourney was held and in March a state basket shooting tournament was held. The Social activities in which the G.A.A. participated throughout the year were the annual Slumber Party where all the new members were initiated. A Christmas Party was given for all the girls before we were dismissed for Christmas vacation. Something new this year was Date Nite when all the girls invited their dates to come and spend an evening of recreation. Under the leadership of Mrs. Linda Wilson, a very able and willing sponsor, our members followed the purposes and goals of the G.A.A. by displaying an interest in athletics, clean play, good sportsmanship, and team work.

The speedy freshman-sophomore group after losing the conference meet by one point in 1951, came back to become K.V.C. Champions in 1952. Credit for this victory goes to LeRoy and LaVerne Martin, Dick and Irvin Merrill, Norman Bossell, and Robert Barlow. The varsity squad didn't do quite as well as the Fresh-Soph. They won 2 of 5 meets. The running, jumping upperclassmen with only a nine man squad went to the K.V.C. conference meet at Bradley not expecting to even place. jeff winning five points in the mile run and three in the 880 yard dash and john winning five points in the pole vault. The other seven boys on the team were Andy Salm, Al Miller, George Curry, Fred Hinrichs, LaVerne and LeRoy Martin and Dick Merrill. Basketball Due to the lack of experience and unfortunate luck the Cardinals had a fair season. Though fighting hard in every game, the Cards won 11 while losing 14. Ten games during the season were lost by less than five points. The Cardinals repeated their fine showmanship in the Morris Holiday Tour- ney. Losing the first game to Hall of Spring Valley, the Cards won the next two to end up with the Consolation Trophy. In the K.V.C. Tourney the Cards had the Bad Luck of drawing Manteno for their first game. Earlier in the season St. Anne defeated Manteno who was now out for revenge and succeeded by downing the Cards 57 to 49. A system of rotating the captain was used this year among the first five. Each boy had turns at the captain position which was appointed by Coach Scott. Football The St. Anne mighty eleven, under the leadership of Coach john Stabler and Captain Rodney Franklin Cwho later won the position of first string All Conference Halfbackj wound up one of the most dramatic seasons in its history. The Gridders this year made bids for first place, but even as strong, forceful, and full of spirit as they were descended and landed in sixth place, ending the season with three wins and five losses. The Cardinals had eleven veterans to return this year. Eight of these had one year of experience, two had two years and only one with three years experience. With these odds Coach Stabler went to work and built one of the most out- standing teams of his coaching career. The Redbirds' first victim was Kankakee sophomores who failed in a hard- fought battle and ended on the short end of a 7-6 score. Next Big Bad Bradley slowed the Cards down with the extra point, which put them on the long end of a 7-6 score. At the Homecoming game the rough and ready boys stopped Momence 12-6. A The Redbirds dropped the next two games to St. Pats 28-0 and Crete 59-6 in a bloody battle. Central pulled an upset with a 33-19 victory while Gilman staged a counter attack with a 14-7, an unforseen tragedy. Reddick helped the Cards close the season with a pleasant feeling 47-0.
