Tefft High School - Spot Lite Yearbook (Tefft, IN)

HERE THE GRADUATE COMES In 1953, the Tefft eighth grade class entered the freshman class of Kankakee Township School after being bolstered by an equal number from the surrounding areas. The boys and girls began at once to feel the thrill of attending high school. To help launch the careers of the fifty-sevens'; William Dobson was elected class President for the year, with Glen Salyer, Vice President: and Delos Stalbaum, Secretary-Treasurer. Most of the members of the class advanced to the sophomore rank at the beginning of the next fall. Standard-bearers for the class were Lyla Krug, Donna Robbins, and Jo-Ann Smith. Hard work and study were now the order of the day as they settled down to being sophisticated sophomores. As the junior year rolled around, we lost only one from our ranks. The comparatively large junior class of this year put a great deal of work into money-making projects to give the seniors their annual reception. The reception was given in the gym this year and the novel decorations added to the beauty of the affair. Much of the success of the junior year was due to the efforts of President Norman Duggleby and other class officers, Delos Stalbaum and Jo-Ann Smith. And now, 1957! Senior$--and graduation in sight. Each senior has his day filled with the sadness, gaiety, and thrill of being a senior. Some of the activities include having senior pictures taken, ordering caps and gowns, working on the yearbook, selecting senior cards and invitations, and planning Senior Week. The capable leadership of this decisive year includes President, Edward Deardorff and other class officers, Delos Stalbaum, Lyla Krug and Jo-Ann Smith. It is our belief that the members of the class of 1957 will become better citizens because of the teachings they received here. It is with a sadness in our hearts, a hope in our future, a sincere thank you to our teachers, and the best wishes to our fellow students that this year's harvest of graduates, the class of 1957, closes this chapter of history of the Kankakee Township School and moves on to join the ranks of alumni who have gone before us.

CLASS WILL KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: We, the Class of 1957, being of weak mind and slovenly appearance and not acting under fraud, duress, menace, or undue influence, at least most of the time, do make and declare this, our last will and testament. I, EDWARD DEARDORFF, will my southern-gentleman appearance and slouch to Artie Long. I, BILL DOBSON, will my ability to talk my way out of any situation to Lowell Stalbaum. 1, NORMAN DUGGLEBY, will my fabulous formula for home brew (root beer, that is) to that aspiring young scientist, Larry Salyer. I, DENNIS GOOD, will my nonchalant, over-relaxed outlook on life to tranquil Jack Katona. I, JAMES GOOD, will my artist's palette, paint brush, and pen to Everett Forner as I have been summoned to New York to assist Al Capp in the Broadway production of Dogpatch. ” 1, BENNY HITTLE, will my ability to get past any king-size opposition on the basketball floor to Nicky Centifanto. I, FRANK JAGODA, will my prowess as a local Don Juan to Franklin Patrick who claims he doesn’t have time for such foolishness. Too much homework. Frank? I, LYLA KRUG, will my Betty Crocker medal to Joyce Jones. Remember Joyce, the best way to a man's heart is still through his stomach. I, MAC QUIGLEY, will my football physique and sparkling blue eyes to Dick Whited to charm the fluttering females who have cluttered my path these past four years. I, GLEN SALYER, will my sly glances, flashing dark eyes, and my job as Captain of the Hall Patrol, especially during the seventh period, to Irene Jamieson. I, JO-ANN SMITH, will my fiery school spirit to next year's varsity in the hope that it might inspire them on to take the State Championship. I, DELOS STALBAUM, will my good-natured, friendly disposition plus a bottle of Hadacol to the Juniors in the hope that they might soon measure up to the high standards achieved by our illustrous group. I, LEO WANTOLA, will my ability to be a successful farmer and resist Hollywood offers as a double for Tab Hunter to Stoney Wireman. However, if Sioney weakens, may I suggest Bruce Marcinak, who has had plenty of time to develop his will power since Dogpatch Days. We whole-heartedly and without reservations will our bedraggled, ill-kept, dirty, 3nd dilapidated lockers to the jocular juniors in the hope that they may in a small way inspire them to achieve some of our versatility stature, staying power, and greatness. Believe me, they deserve them. We, the Class of 1957, will to the Class of 1958 our high grades, our good looks, our talents, and our loving personalities. In witness whereof, I hereby set my hand and seal. Edward Deardorff, President Jo-Ann Smith, Secretary
