Stockton High School - Blackhawk Yearbook (Stockton, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1955 volume:

Dedication To Ralph Hesselbachcr. Jr., our classmate and friend, we dedicate this 1955 Blackhawk. Not spared to he with us since our sophomore year, he has been present in spirit. For us who knew him there is left a memory of tine personality, of kind thoughts and deeds and of a spirit of true friendship. Thus Ralph has had no small part in our high school life. 2 Nineteen members composed the Blackhawk staff of '55. which was sponsored by Mr. Stevens. The one big aim of the Blackhawk was, of course, to pub- lish a yearbook—the best yet. Working towards this goal, the members could be found selling ads, collecting material and pic- tures, and planning the book for publication. The members of the staff were appointed by class sponsors, English teachers, and the yearbook adviser. Students are se- lected for their interest shown in this type of work, their depend- ability, and their ability to do good work in their regular Eng- lish classes. The 1955 staff has endeavored to capture a few of the fleet- ing moments of their life in Stockton High School to preserve them for you. This. The NINETEEN FIFTY-FIVE BLACKHAWK. awaits your approval.

Being new in the tribe they depended largely on their sponsors, Mr. Curler, Mr. Miller, and Miss Griffin, to learn the rules of their new environment. Elections were held and votes being tallied reported Donald Dick as Chief; LaDelle Haug as his assistant. Keeping track of their activities was Patricia Townsend, and paying all bills was Max Pierce. Attending tribal council were Glenda Spencer, Harriet Schlichting, and Roger Clark. Participating in football and basketball, we find Dick, Bryan, Vanderheyden, Pierce, Thill, Hermann, and VanHuizen.

Reporting to tribal council this year were Myrna Townsend, Jack Vanderheyden and Max Pierce. They built the prom around the theme. “Showboat,” and put on an enter- taining play entitled “Ghost Wanted”. Most important to them were the rings they received their junior year.

As Head Chief, for their last year, they chose Max Pierce; Co-Chief, Roger Clark; Secretary, Patricia Townsend; and Treasurer, Glenda Spencer. Student Council members were Richard Hermann, Joan Keeffer and Ken Wright.

Throughout the basketball season we saw Dick, Green, Thill, Wright, Bryan, and VenHuizen showing excellent ability in sports. Cheering these boys on to victory were Myrna Townsend and Patricia Townsend, Varsity Cheerleaders. Climaxing the football season was the Homecoming Dance with Patricia Townsend ruling as Queen and Jane Carroll as her attendant. Following soon after Homecoming was the Hallowe’en festival.

During their last year they presented “Cheaper by the Dozen” as their senior play. The final selections for the National Honor Society were picked, with these seniors being chosen: Joan Keeffer, Harriet Schlichting, Ronald Thill, and Patricia Townsend. After four exciting and eventful years of education and activities the senior class of '55 leaves the beloved portals of our old alma mater, Stockton High School. During these four exciting and eventful years, we have gained the ever important trait of abilitv to work and act as one.

Under the guidance of Miss Schicht. Mrs. Werkheiser. and Mr. Kelly class officers were elected. They were Bill Schubert. President; Judy Sullivan. Vice-President; Laura Schlichting. Secretary; and Barbara Beyer. Treasurer. Sitting in on the Student Council Pow-Wows were Betty Donaldson. Jane Andrews, and Merle Gothard. Fighting the ‘Athletic Battles” for the Blackhawks were Haight. Carroll. Donovan. Daviess. Yenney, and Townsend. Nancy Kappes cheered them on to victory as a Papoose cheerleader. Our Homecoming attendant was Betty Dol- aldson. Barbara Simmons won the Freshman Cup for the highest scholastic honors. This was the climax to our first successful year as High School students. The sixty-eight Sophomores who returned in September followed in the paths of Chief Bob Dick. Next in line was Wayne Anderson. Betty McPeek kept notes of the Tribal meetings and Laura Schlichting took care of the money. Nancy Kappes. Barbara Simmons and Bill Schubert were Student Council repre- sentatives. Aiding our Chief were the class sponsors. Mr. Peterson. Mr. Kelly, and Mrs. Concheff. Again it was gridiron time and Donovan. Haight. Daviess. Townsend. Bucher. Carroll. Speer. Woolcock. Kaufman and Brininger represented us in sports. Our soft moccasins were valuable to Nancy Kappes. Brenda Kuhns, and Barbara Kat- zenberger for they were cheerleaders. Homecoming attendant was Barbara Kat- zenberger. Barbara Simmons and Sally Ploeger were chosen as School Treasurers. 1954 found only fifty-six returning for their Junior year. To aid us in this all important year we had as sponsors Mr. Kelly. Mr Smith, and Mr. Farinella. Eldon Carroll was chosen as President for this year with Bob Dick as Vice-Presi- dent. Rose Mary Stayner. Secretary, and Bob Daviess. Treasurer. Nancy Kappes. Barbara Simmons, and Wayne Anderson reported to Student Council. Our sportsmen for the year were Teasdale. Donovan. Daviess. Haight. Town- send. Woolcock. Kaufman. Carroll, and Schubert. Again Nancy Kappes. Barbara Katzenberger. and Brenda Kuhns led the Student Body in cheers. Judy Sullivan was our Homecoming attendant. This being our big year we built up our bank account by selling at the games. Our work in the magazines also helped us on our way upward, and our class play proved to be a big social success. On May 14 we invited the seniors to “Cinderella’s Ball” which we thought the best yet. and our hard work and ef- forts were not all in vain. During our first three years we have shown what we can do. Our fourth and final year will surely he the best yet. Officers: E. Carroll, President; R. Davies, Treas- urer; R. Dick, Vice-President; R. Stayner, Secre- tary.

Mr. Underwood, the grade school principal, came into our classroom and introduced himself; then he proceeded to tell us what our day’s schedule would be. We were told that Mr. Smith would teach us mathematics; Mrs. Werkheiser. English; Mr. Snyder, science; Mrs. Parker, study hall and art; Miss Lingford. music; Mrs. Durtschi, study hall, girl's health and physical education; Mr. Bretl, social studies and coaching our basketball team; Mr. Jelinek. boy’s physical education and health. With the able assistance of Mrs. Werkheiser. our home room teacher, we en- tered a float. “Dirty Dan’s Dugout”. in the Halloween celebration, winning 3rd prize. Rested and eager, we reported back for school on January 3. 1955. and pro- ceeded to take down our Christmas decorations. On March 3. we contributed to the high school assemblies with some enter- tainment of our own consisting of a girls sextette, a brass band, accordion and piano solos, and as a finale, the singing of the Twenty-Third Psalm by the entire class. Other activities in which we participated this year included a fund-raising Fun Fair and a party to which the other eighth graders in district No. 206 were invited. Then came graduation and high school; here we come!!! 42 43 44 Coach. Jerry Jelinek Basketball Although Stockton lost quite a few games there were only a few that had a score with Stocktoon on the bottom by more than ten points and most of them were lost by less than ten points. A couple of games were won by high scores in. eluding a fifteen point upset of Mt. Carroll. The “B” team had a very successful year. They had a record of 10 wins and 10 losses. Football The football season was very good for Stockton this year with the new coach, Mr. Jelinek. Out of the eight games he coached we won six and lost two. We suffered a few setbacks because of injuries, of whom were, Donald Endriss when he was hurt in the St. Columbkille game and was taken to the hospital. Ken Wright received a back injury in one of the Warren games and about the end of the season Bud Dick received a back injury which left him out of the game for the rest of the season. Besides all this we had five all conference players they were: Bud Dick, Tom Donavon, Bob Haight. Max Pierce, and Ken Green. Congratulations boys you all did a fine job. 45 First Row—D. Endriss, R.

There are three senior choruses and two freshman choruses which make up this de- partment. Because of the large number of students participating in mu- sic our senior mixed choruses have divided into two groups, Group A and Group B. Group A is under the direction of Mrs. Brown. They sang at the an- nual Christmas and Spring Con- certs. The accompanist for this group is Coleman Davis. Chorus B is under the direction of Miss Lingford. They also appeared at the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts. Their capable accom- panists are Jeanne Frederick, Carol Klett, Pat Meyers and Kathleen Sanderson. Our third senior chorus is the Girl’s Chorus composed of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. This group, too, has sung at the concerts. From this group will be selected a smaller Girl’s Chorus to attend the District Music Contest. Mrs. Brown is their director and Kathleen Sanderson is their accompanist. The Freshmen have one chorus, the mixed chorus. This group is working hard to become better singers for their next three years in the senior choruses. Small groups obtained from these choruses are Girls Sextets, Mixed Quar- tets, Boys Quartet, Senior Girls Trio, and the Harmonettes, the Freshman girls quartet. DISTRICT CONTEST Erie, Illinois will be the site of the 1955 District Music Contest for which the music department and many of the students have labored so diligently in hopes of winning firsts and traveling on to State Contest. Contestants in the follow- ing divisions are as follows: High Soprano, Sharon Arnold and Mary Lou Towns- end; Medium Soprano, Pat Townsend and Nancy Busch; Alto, Mary Ann Ingras- sia and Carol Frazier; Piano, Barbara Simmons and Kathleen Sanderson; Boys High, Paul Evans and Norman Chapman; Boys Low, Ronnie Thill; Boys Quartet, Paul Evans, Wayne Hatton, Jim Bryan, and Kenny Green. STATE CONTEST May, 1954 brought State Contest and Johnny Blair represented our school at Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois.

To wear the National Honor Key is an honor of which every member is proud. The National Honor Society has undertaken a new project this year. They have located all graduates since 1950 and have prepared a questionnaire to find out how our high school curri- culum helps or hinders those who have gone on to college.

Since a considerable amount of money is involved, trustworthy and re- sponsible students are selected to handle this job. The student who eventually becomes treasurer is chosen during their junior year, when he serves as an apprentice and assistant. When he is a senior he becomes official school treasurer. This past year Glenda Spencer and Carol Schap were school treasurers while Barbara Simmons and Sally Ploeger served as assistants. Wayne Hatton acted as Athletic Treasurer. Seated: Mr. Farinella, S.

When the maroon stage curtains majestically opened March 26th and 27th. hair-raising incidents sent chills up and down the spine. At the same time one couldn’t resist the humor in the three-act mystery comedy. Hugo (Don Leitzen), a young man out of a job, and Jeffery Hall (Kenneth Wright), his friend and general manager, have just arrived at the Stormgay House on Ramshead Rock In answer to the ad “Ghost Wanted.” Truddy (Har- riet Schlichting), the maid and cook, is making them welcome. Ginger Storm- gay (Myrna Townsend), and Gale Stormgay (Sharon Arnold) tell them their job is to scare away the vomby. Hatcher (Roger Clark), the houseman, returns from the village with Granny Kate (Carol Schap) and her friends Professor de Valan (Ronald Thill) and Madame Zolga (Mary Rife). They are interested in voodoo ism. Then one evening Mr. Bradshaw (James Bryan), the sheriff, and Nora Vane (Glenda Spencer), a woman with a nose for investigation, came to inquire about the body that was found in the basement. Color was added to the play by the lobster woman, called Azalea (Mary Ann Ingrassia). Row One: K. Wright, S. Arnold, J. Keefifer. Row Two: J. Kaufman, R. Thill, M. Townsend, E. Blair, L. Haug.

Senior Play, Cheaper by the Dozen Sixteen members of the class of 1955 staged the hilarious comedy, “Cheaper by the Dozen” as the Senior Play with Peter LaForge as director. The play re- volved around the famed Gilbreth family—Mr. and Mrs. Gilbreth (Ron Thill and Myrna Townsend) with their twelve children nine of whom appeared in the play. The play was taken from a book of the same name written by Frank and Ernestine Gilbreth (two of the children). Frank (Don Leitzen) and Ernestine (Glenda Spencer) were talking over old times when they were all together with their parents. They were reminiscing about how their father used to whistle assembly call, when they heard it, the curtain opens and the children rush into line. Frank, Ernestine, Jackie (Ken Wright), Dan (Jim Bryan), Bill( David Radke). Fred (Roger Clark), Anne (La- Delle Haug), Lillian (Joan KeefTer), and Martha (Sharon Arnold) do their best to get in line in less than ten seconds. Dad was continually thinking of systems and charts to save time. The lovable housekeeper, Mrs. Fitzgerald (Connie Buske) had a terrible time getting help from the children. Th family doctor. Dr. Burton (Ed Marcure) was called to the Gilbreth household several times. Joe Scales (Jon Kaufman) a high school cheerleader asked Anne for a date and from then on Anne and Ernestine pester Dad to let them go with boys. Larry (Gene Blair) turned out to be someone “special” in Anne’s life. Miss Brill (Carol Schap) came to the house to give tests to the children to determine if they could skip a grade. This created a great deal of excitement because she had no love for children and they had none for her. Tears were shed in the end when Dad left for Europe. Mother was pro- moted to chairman of the family council. They proceeded with their business as the curtain closed.
