THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1944 PRESENTS THE TOLO NADINE LEHMAN. JOHN ROBERT McWlLLlAM—CO-EDITORS THE TOULON i I ! TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS OF 1944 DEDICATES THE TOLO to our Alumni who are dedicating their lives to keep and preserve for future generations, the Great American Democracy. VOLUNTARIES III ☆ In an age of fops and toys, Wanting wisdom, void of right, Who shall nerve heroic boys To hazard all in Freedom's fight,— Break sharply off their jolly games, Forsake their comrades gay And quit proud homes and youthful dames For famine, toil and fray? Yet on the nimble air benign Speed nimbler messages, That waft the breath of grace divine To hearts in sloth and ease So night is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, Thou must,” The youth replies, I can.” —Emerson TOULON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI WITH THE ARMED FORCES ☆ Adams, Merlin F.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ☆ One warm autumn day in 1940, fifty-four new Trojans started on an educational journey through Trojanville. At first it seemed that it would be impossible to become as accustomed to the new surroundings as the upperclassmen. During this year Miss Schmiedeskamp, Mr. Metzger, and Mr. Patton supervised us; we had John McWilliam, Ross Gilfillcm, and June Cover to lead the way. June Cover was elected to represent our class as cheerleader. After the summer vacation we started our sophomore year with a bound by choosing Arnold House, Charles Smith, and Winston Murray for class officers. Miss Skelley and Mr. Patton routed this portion of the journey. Ruby De-Bord and Donald Heaton joined June as cheerleaders. June was chosen for band queen. As juniors the class sponsors were Mr. Patterson, Mrs. Keller, and Miss White. Ross Gilfillan, Nadine Lehman, and Marilyn Matticks guided us straight to a victory, the opportunity to have Charles Smith as the Tolo King. While traveling this part of the journey through Trojanville, we experienced a disastrous fire and were forced to continue the classes for a few weeks in the churches, a garage, and the city hall. In spite of the difficulties which we encountered we entertained the senior class at a banquet in the Congregational Church and a dance in the gym. As seniors our Trojanville journey nears its end. During this year, Dean Clarke enlisted in the Navy and was called immediately for training. Charles Smith enlisted in the Navy V-5 program and awaited call until school was out. Miss Quigley, Mr. Ferris, and Mrs. Albrecht were chosen to direct us so that the journey is finished well. Winston Murray, Dean Clarke, Joyce Briggs, and Joyce O'Keefe served as class officers. We had the honor of having John McWilliam as the Tolo king. Ross Gilfillan was chosen as president of the Student Council assisted by Winston Murray. Arnold House, and Nadine Lehman from the class. We realize that even though the journey through Trojanville is over, the memories that we have of the past four years will never be forgotten The only hope can be that the memories we have left may be as pleasant as the ones which we have taken with us. D. W. '44 J. H. '44 5 SENIOR PROPHECY Recently while traveling through the city of Toulon, I chanced to be having my breakfast in Toulon's most famous hotel. It was in the summer of 1960, and Toulon then boasted of three hotels, several theatres, and a radio station. While finishing my breakfast, I chanced to hear a radio broadcast which proved to be of much interest to me. This is station T. T. H. S. broadcasting from the twenty-third floor of the Lehman Building in downtown Toulon. We now bring you Listen and Grin by William M. Winn, that Jimmy Fialer of the Midwest. This program is made possible through the courtesy of the Harriet Bamber Horse Stables, whose purebred saddle horses have taken many prizes. If you are interested in purchasing one of these fine horses, see Mildred Chamberlain, general manager for Miss Bamber. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is William M. Winn, the Jimmy Fidler of the Midwest. Once again the day has rolled around for the latest news of the Alumni of T. T. H. S Today we have chosen the graduating class of 44. Our first bit of news comes from New York. Miss Joanne Wallace, nationally known operatic star, announced today that she is giving up her career to take the co-management of the Lee Trucking Company of Elmira. Dame rumor has it that Miss Joyce O'Keefe, prominent socialite, has finally decided to take her half of the responsibility of teaching chemistry at Toulon High School. We question her motive as Ross Gilfillan is the head of the department. Zera Vorina, famous ballerina, today signed a contract for a ten week engagement at Ye Olde Opera House here in Toulon. Off the stage. Miss Vorina is known as Marcella Streitmatter. Arnold House, nationally known band leader, signed a contract today for an indefinite stay at The Hub Ball Room at Edelstein, Illinois. Mr. House just completed a six week engagement on The Hit Parade. He has announced that he and his band will reside at the famous A. H. Estate in Osceola during their engagement. Hot off the wires comes the flash that Chuck Daredevil Smith, universally known rocket aviator, just arrived home from Mars. His exact words when questioned on the beauty of Mars were Whee Whew! Greg Rice and Del Wheeler, famous song and dance team, are reported considering an offer of $10,000,000 for the right to produce a movie of their start. The picture will probably be entitled That Little Green A. In town today is Winston Murray, who plays end for the Chicago Bears. Mr. Murray is going to the Hub Ballroom to play with the A. House orchestra on opening night. Mr. Murray says the clarinet keeps his lips in condition. Your reporter questions the use of lips in football. SENIOR PROPHECY—Continued The noted mathematician, Bernard Roesner, has recently announced new theories concerning six dimensions. This puts him in keen competition with Einstein. Tomorrow is the opening day for the Matticks' Sporting Goods Store in Galva. Miss Matticks states, and I quote, My specialty will be blue and gold sweaters with one stripe for track. Doris Addis and Alberta Perrigo have recently opened a cafeteria. The sign in front reads: Eat here to keep slim and trim. Here's a choice tidbit from Hollywood, California. The famous blues singer, Norma Anderson, has just made another successful hit with her version of I Dream of 'Geney' with the Light Brown Hair. Also from Hollywood comes the report that Alice Genrt has organized an all-man orchestra. Miss Gehrt announces that all members must be tall, dark, and handsome. It has been rumored that Dean Clarke, the sweetest trombonist this side of heaven, has finally decided to enter the States Contest. We wonder, Dean, is,this true? Coming off the press tomorrow is Joyce Briggs' and Gloria Colwell's latest book entitled the PROPER TECHNIQUE or HOW TO KNIT AS GRANDMOTHER DID. Jean Carter and Julia Harper, recently elected congress-women, declined to state when questioned by reporters whether or not they would support the bill providing for an annual observance of Sadie Hawkins' Day. We also hear from a reliable source that Ruby DeBord, a modest local dressmaker, has suddenly found herself in the limelight. Upon sampling Crunchy Wunchy breakfast food, just on the market, she grew three inches. We're glad to hear that at last Miss DeBord is getting up in the world. Another highlight in today's news is the announcement of the grand opening of the Ruthe Hackwith, Norman Martin, Audrey Beamer, and Alice Fogle-song's fashionable dress shop on Fifth Avenue, New York. The sign in front reads: Dresses we will fit While you wait So please do sit To await your fate. We Thank You. S. D.

The former June Cover of the Saxon neighborhood has taken first prize at the State Fair with her canning exhibit. John McWilliam and Donald Grieve have just announced that they have been put in a higher income tax bracket because of the fortune they made in blowing glass.

'44 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY ☆ In the fall of 1941, fifty-three bright-eyed freshmen took their places in TTHS to face bravely all the experiences that make a truly educated Toulon Trojan. For class officers, we chose Bob Grieve to be president, and Marilee Porter, vice president; Jane Trimmer took care of the money, while Gwendolyn Caverly kept the notes. Miss Schmiedeskamp and Mr. Fairchild were the thoughtful sponsors. The class won its first recognition when Gwendolyn Campbell was awarded the honor of being Tolo Queen. Vacation over, we were back in September for more work and fun. Sophomores! The class officers for 1941-42 were president, Clifford Linker; vice president, Priscilla Williamson; treasurer. Dean Grieve; and Joan McManus, reporter. Miss Skelley and Mr. Patton served as class sponsors. During the sophomore year our activities were few, but we always grasped any opportunity that would let us remind the other classes that we were there with true Trojan spirit. At the Tolo Carnival we made known for the second time that the class had ability in salesmanship. It was a privilege for us to have the honor of crowning another classmate, Mary Lou Webster, as Tolo Queen. Forty-six Trojans, strong and true, began their junior year in September, 1943. Miss White, Mrs. Keller, and Mr. Patterson were the able sponsors. The class elected as president, Russell Smith; vice president. Robert Grieve; treasurer, Arlene McCans. This year afforded us many opportunities which were our delight. The Tolo Carnival again brought forth that ability in salesmanship, and for the third consecutive year the class had a member crowned Tolo Queen. This year Joan McManus was given the honor. Can we meet the challenge at the Tolo Carnival in '45? The class play, ALMOST SUMMER, was a successful production. The highlight of this year was the Junior-Senior Prom held on May 26. We all anxiously look forward to being Seniors in 1944-45 when we can work to give the school the best in Trojanspirit. J. Me. '45 A. Me. '45 z SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1942 we enrolled as freshmen to acquire all the knowledge that we could while we were in Trojanville. It seemed no time at all until we were in step with the other classes and participating in all the activities. To direct us in these activities were Miss Schmiedeskamp and Mrs. Richards. The officers chosen for the class were Mary Sue Turner, Bob Patton, Phyllis Armstrong, and Thomas Lester. The'class representatives in competition for the honor of reigning king and queen of the Tolo Carnival were Tom Lester and Olive Reed. When we returned for our sophomore year, we had more confidence in ourselves and began the year with zest. Miss Skelley and Mr. Patton were the faculty advisers for us, while Phyllis Armstrong, Carol Keefer, Norma lean Price, and Olive Reed served as class officers. The class representatives on the Student Council were Olive Reed and Bob Sco-ville. That event of the year, Tolo Carnival, called for two of the class to represent us. Betty Bouten and Paul Unruh were chosen, but the class didn't prove to be super-salesmen. As the sophomore year nears its close, we feel that we have acquired much knowledge that will be of benefit to us in the future, and we look forward with pleasure to the remainder of our journey through Trojanville.

'47 2- 2 — MEMOIRS OF THE SOCIETY EDITOR AT FORT TROJAN ☆ At Fort Trojan the past week a series of events of varied nature took place. This happened to the enlisted men as well as the highest ranking officer on the Post. About the most important of this series was the lecture given to a group of enlisted men and the non-commissioned officer in charge of them for being a wee bit tardy in reporting back to camp when their week-end pass was up. This lecture was delivered by the Battery Commander in the Battery Headquarters, which were appropriately decorated in a dark olive drab motif with the only light being over the commander's desk. Numerous papers were placed upon the desk. The main topic, “Your Service Record and How it Affects you, was delivered in a fiery yet impressive manner by Major Winston Murray; this was followed by a pep talk entitled You $% $%! given by Master Sergeant Arnold House, orderly to Major Murray. So impressed by the two talks were Private Bernard Roesner, Private Cecil Bort, Private First-Class Donald Grieve, and Sergeant Sherman White that they decided to remain on the Battery Area for the next two weeks and donate a portion of their pay to the battery fund. The next day B Battery, under the leadership of Captain Wendell Witte, went on a sixty mile hike. During the course of the hike, a number of games such as Swallow the Gravel, Wade the Creek, Knife the Jap, and Swing the Rope over the Mud-pit were played and greatly enjoyed. At midday a K ration was served under the direction of Mess Sergeant Clay Appenheimer, assisted by the pourer, Corporal Leo Steimle. Upon their return to camp, there was an open discussion about the proper care of the feet and why it is important. Everyone had a soaking good time. Sergeant John McWilliam entertained a number of friends the other evening at his barracks. His guests were those who had been late in reporting for reveille the past few mornings. The games played were Scrub, Scrub, Where's the G. I. Soap, and Broom, Broom, Here's the Mop if You Don't Hurry Up. So successful was the get-together that Sergeant McWilliam reports that he intends to make it a weekly affair. MEMOIRS—Continued ☆ Ii has been announced that Master Sergeant Arnold House has received a transfer to the Baker's Detail. I am sure that we all wish him the best kind of luck on his transfer. Last evening Major Murray was arrested by M. P. Donald Heaton for driving through a stop light at the Post- At his trial. Major Murray stated that he thought the light was Green. Upon further questioning, he was released with the admonition to proceed cautiously. In addition to the events of last night, a meeting was held by Chaplain's Corps of the Post. The topic of the evening was The Selection of Burial Sites. The leader of the discussion that followed was Warrant Officer Ross Gilfillan. As we all know, he has had wide experience in that line of work. Sergeant Gregory Rice of the 4590th Tank Battalion, stationed here at the present time, is reported to be working on a new idea, which when completely developed will give tanks more power. Although the exact details are not available, Dame Rumor has it that the secret is a motor resembling that of the Model A. The other morning Staff Sergeant Dean Clarke was congratulated on his ability to get his men to fall out in time so as to be able to present themselves in a well-groomed manner. When he was asked how it was possible, he replied that they were just getting in from the night before. Corporal Charles Smith, the reporter for the Post newspaper has been placed on K. P. for the next two weeks. He covered the banquet in honor of the Generals here on the Post and his coverage of the elite affair read: Many were the steaks and desserts, The turkey was stuffed and so were the shirts. The moral, says Corporal Smith, is to tell only a half-truth. This ends the period of basic training for the boys of Fort Trojan as they have dispersed to various stations throughout the land to win their laurels of victory. W. W.

FOOTBALL The 1943-44 football squad will always remember this season, not because it was filled with victories, but because we had the experience of learning football under our new coach, Harold Ferris. He taught us many good fundamentals of football and along with that he taught us to have fun while we were playing. With the loss of only three seniors the next year's football team should be strong contenders for the Blackhawk Conference. % MAJOR FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Arnold House, Captain Ira McCans Dean Williams Winston Murray Robert Grieve Kenneth Blakey Charles Smith Delwin Cobb Jerry Kelly Dick Bergthold Phillip Allen Dave Kelly Dean Grieve Herman McIntosh Dave Harrington Captain-elect for next year—Ira McCans SCORES Wethersfield . 13 Toulon . . . . 20 Walnut . . . . 7 Toulon .... 7 Dunlap . . . . 46 Toulon . . . .

Six majorettes. Ruby Debord, Dorothy Baker, Joan Green, Helen McCans, Wanda V itten, and Ruth Thompson are now in the band. Mr. Patterson chose six seniors from the band and submitted the list to the Band Clinic in Peoria for them to choose which four they wished to participate in their Clinic which was held February 26. The four chosen were Arnold House, cornet; Gregory Rice, bass horn; Nadine Lehman, clarinet; and Joyce Briggs, oboe. These four practiced with students from central Illinois in the morning and ahernoon and participated in the concert during the evening. A full 42-piece uniformed band appeared at all home football and basketball games during the year. They also played for the American Legion Armistice Day Program and for the Farm Bureau Picnic at Lake Calhoun. The money which was received from the Farm Bureau was used to buy popular music for the band. A Benefit Band Concert was held on March 9 to raise money for equipment and music to be used in the music department. The band also went to Galva on April 19 to participate in the Blackhawk Band Festival. Plans are made to have a program later in the year in which students of both choral and instrumental music will participate. L. W. N.

These organizations rehearse regularly and present for public approval many entertaining programs. Among the most important projects of the year is the preparation made for the annual Blackhawk Vocal Festival which is presented in one of the schools of the Blackhawk Conference. Toulon High was host to visiting schools on May 2, 1944. The Girls' Chorus was composed of seventy-two girls from which twenty were selected to participate in the Blackhawk Musical Festival. Mary Lou Webster was accompanist for the Girls' Chorus. Each year several girls are chosen to sing as an ensemble. This year's Girls' Ensemble was composed of Joanne Wallace, Jane Trimmer, Alice Gehrt, June Cover, Gwendolyn Campbell, Joyce O'Keefe, Ann Flynn, Joyce Briggs, and Norma Anderson with Jane Wilkinson as the accompanist. The Boys' Chorus was composed of thirty-eight boys. Of this group, Russell Smith, Myron Laub, Dean Clarke, and Winston Murray were chosen for the Boys' Ensemble with Gregory Rice as the accompanist. The Mixed Chorus was composed of forty members selected from the two separate choruses. The members of this chorus took part in the Blackhawk Vocal Festival, and also sang at the Union Meeting of the Protestant churches held at the Methodist Church, February 27. Jane Wilkinson has been accompanist for the chorus during the year. Eight of the forty members were selected as a Mixed Ensemble. Those were Joyce O'Keefe, Gwendolyn Campbell, June Cover, Joanne Wallace, Winston Murray, Dean Clarke, Russell Smith, and Myron Laub, with Jane Trimmer as accompanist. N. H. A. '44 S. D. W. '44 3?

SENIOR CLASS PLAY A large audience attended the mystery-comedy. Hurricane House, given by the Senior Class on December 2, 1943, under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Keller. The mystery has its settings in ''Hurricane House, where Tad Blaine's father sends a number of his employees to involve Tad in a whirlwind of mysterious happenings and thereby discourage him from being a detective. The occurrence of such incidents as the mysterious violin, the blood-curdling screams, and the gun shots kept the audience in suspense until the curtain was drawn. Much of its success was due to the help given by the production staff.

C. '44. ☆ JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Junior Class on April 14, presented the three act comedy Almost Summer under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Keller. In the role of Paul Jones, (Wilbur Packard) the leading character, gave a good account of the troubled life of a senior trying to avoid summer school, stay in the good graces of Prof. Smudgely (Bob Grieve) the high school principal, and at the same time keep Jane, (Jane Trimmer) the only girl in the world for him, away from his rival who drives a yellow convertible coupe. Mr. and Mrs. Jones (Cliff Linker and Ann Flynn) are nearly frantic over their son's escapades. Anna the maid, (Mary Lou Webster) is ever busy picking up after the Joneses. The sly and crafty Junior Jones, (Russell Smith) claiming to be a woman hater is caught trying to conceal a secret love with the cute Lilah Johnson (Gwendolyn Campbell). Jack (Lee Porter) is a pal of Paul and an admirer of Mary Jones (Gwendolyn Caverly). Finally all the complications are straightened out so the Jones' family and their friends can leave for a pleasant summer at the lakes. Why even Prof. Smudgely wants to go fishing!

The Student Council is composed of a president, Ross Gilfillan, chosen by the student body; the president of each of the classes, and two representatives chosen from each of the classes. The first project to be developed was that of recreational facilities for use by the student body both indoors and outdoors. Two rooms in the building were available so a ping-pong table was set up in one, and the other room is to be used for dancing and quiet games as soon as necessary equipment is available. The greatest problem that faced the Student Council was sufficient funds to finance this plan. This v as solved by selling magazines in co-operation with the Curtis Publishing Company. We were very pleased with the wholeheartedness with which the student body entered into this, and through their efforts we netted a sizeable sum to materialize our plans. Later we sold schedule pencils. It is the hope of the Student Council to accomplish the goal which has been set and to provide many happy hours for the students of Toulon High. R. W. G. '44 T. T. H. S. ORCHESTRA In the spring of '43, June Cover and Arnold House, two rather accomplished musicians, decided it would be a benefit to them and possibly everyone else of the community if they organized a small orchestra for the purpose of playing popular music. A short time later the select group met at June's home for the first practice. With Amie behind the trumpet and June at the piano the rest of us just had to follow. At first there was considerable noise, and then to everyone's surprise, music began to swell the breeze. Some of this music was old familiar tunes, the most of it popular, and occasionally, when we wished for undesirables, who would stick around to listen, to leave, we would burst forth with a little boogie-woogie. Our first public appearance was at the Stark Theatre on December 19, when Mr. Booth, the manager, asked us to play between shows. The three numbers contributed were As Time Goes By, Oh, You Beautiful Doll. and our theme song, ‘'Whispering. We also played for the Civic Club oyster supper and during the supper held for the members of the Farm Machinery Repair Course. We practiced throughout the summer and during the school year. We will continue to practice for our own pleasure and that of the public so long as we can keep the group together. E. G. R.
