'45 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Recently, during the summer of 1962, I chanced to be flying my autogyro through the midwest and came upon the city of Toulon, which has now changed from the town I once knew1 into a city of six thousand. The reason for the sharp increase in population is the new' airport on its southern outskirts. The city also boasts several new factories. I decided to eat my dinner in the newly-remodeled Diner owned and operated by Oral K.uster and Julia Bruning. Their mooto is: Come in; try our home-cooked food: you'll never live to regret it.” While 1 was eating, w'ho should walk by my table but my old friend Marilyn Addis. Of course, I asked her to eat with me and relate some of the news of my old schoolmates. She told me that she is now' swimming instructor at the Y” in Kewanee and recently starred in an aquatic show in Chicago. She told me of the newest factory in the city. It is a Panda and Teddy Bear factory and is owned by Elmer Brown. It seems that Elmer finally decided he could save money by making them himself. Captain Robert B. G.” Grieve of the U. S. Marines was recently home on a furlough. While home he spent a lot of his time at a certain house on Ham Street. Donald Jackson, who is now State's Attorney, recently solved a very touching missing person's case. The name of the case was The Bus Driver's Missing Daughter. It was nothing new for him to be looking for her. Ann Flynn is making her debut next week with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Miss Flynn has also starred in several movies. Her latest was entitled, She Walked Home. Frank Addis has recently taken over management of Webster’s Store in West Jersey. During the business transaction he also took over a member of the Webster family. How about it, Mary Lou? Wanda Witten, a well known yodeling-blues singer of New York, recently announced her engagement to a wealthy ranch owner of Idaho. Her statement to the press was, At last I can get back in those boots and jodphurs.” Ira McCans is now the coach of the Toulon Trojans. His football team is among the few undefeated in the state. Their specialty is their cave-man (in football) technique which is copied from their coach. Gwen Caverly, famous socialite, recently returned from a trip to Mars. The pilot of her rocket-ship was Calvin Fritz, so we question her interest in Mars. Misses Beverly Trickle, Flora Mae Hackwith and Jeanne Martin are making great successes of their careers as John Robert Powers models in New York City. During their spare time they run a Lonely Hearts Bureau.” George Heaton is the new owner of the Hub Ballroom at Edelstein, Illinois. It seems that George spent so much time there that he finally decided he might as well make it his own. Miss Joan McManus is now employed as a sicence teacher in the Bradford High School. We question her interest in Science as a certain person by the name of Smith is principal of the school. Dean Grieve has built several new apartment buildings with private elevators for each apartment. Dean states that elevators save so much time and energy. Dr. and Mrs. Clifford Linker (she's the former Marilee Porter) have just celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary. He is now one of the midwest’s leading veterinarians. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY—Continued Elmer Jackson is in training in South America in order to challenge Joe Louis for the Heavyweight Championship. Dean Williams, famous sports writer on the Chicago Sun, recently visited friends in Toulon; during his stay, he was seen quite often with a former cheerleader of T. T. H. S. Barbara Gerard is teaching ball-room dancing in Princeville. Everyone the world over is keeping an eye on her students as some of them are expected to be among the world’s greatest. Gerald Stapel is now manager of the Kraft Limburger Cheese Company at Toulon. His secretary is Betty June Zinn who states that her interest is entirely in the cheese. John Cover, nationally known trombonist, now has his own band and is now playing a six week's engagement at the Hub Ballroom. Wilbur Packard is now the manager of the Stark Theatre. He certainly has advanced since those good old days” in the projection room. Last week Marilyn had the pleasure of hearing a very moving (I question which way) sermon by the Reverend Doyle Phillips. The title of the sermon was Sin No More.” You’ll remember Doyle as a quiet, hard-studying boy in T. T. H. S. Gwendolyn Campbell is now in Denver conducting an all-girl orchestra. Margaret Fisher is her first chair saxophone. Hollywood’s number one playboy, Myron Laub, recently completed a picture entitled, It Happened on a Bus.” Jane Trimmer and Phil Allen, famous song and dance team, have been booked to appear at the Toulon Stadium during the month of August. Their manager, Dean Fritz, informs the public to have their seats reserved early if they want to see this great performance. Junior Gerard is now Ag teacher in T. T. H. S. and always manages to get to school on time in his Ford which is still running as good as new. Jean Price and Lovena Gingrich are running a beauty culture school in Peoria. Their motto is: Are your looks really scarry? Then, Lassie, please don’t terry. Come in here right away, we’ll fix you in half a day.” Keith Harmon has become vice president of the Kroger Company. Marilyn reported that the last time she saw him he was still in a hurry. Miss Betty Kruskop's recently published book, The Will to Win ” has brought her fame and fortune. Doris Porter, who is a trapeze artist with the Tingling Brothers’ Circus, fell from her trapeze last week and sprained her big toe. That famous swooner-crooner, Russell Smith, has just returned from a trip abroad where he also was a successful heart-breaker. Lee Porter, eminent surveyor, has just returned from a trip of surveying in Green”Iand. He reports that the situation looks good. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman White (she’s the former Arlene McCans) have recently moved to their newly built home on the northern outskirts of Toulon. The home was planned entirely by Arlene, who was formerly a home economics teachers. With this last bit of news, we finished our meal and I decided that it was time for me to go back to the airport and continue my trip. —PCA ’46 —PRU '46 —RP ’46 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1911 1942 1942-43 1943 44 1944 45 President Bob Grieve Cliff Linker Rusty Smith Lee Porter Vice President Gwen Caverly Dean Grieve Bob Grieve Elmer Brown Secretary Jane Trimmer Joan McManus Arlene McCans Rusty Smith Treasurer Marilee Porter Priscilla Williamson Lee Porter Cliff Linker Class Advisors Miss Schmiedeskamp Miss Skelley Mr. Fairchield Mr. Patton Mr. Metyger Mr. Patterson Mrs. Keller Miss White Mr. Patterson Mrs. Keller Miss Skelley Student Council Members Lee Porter Cliff Linker Wilbur Packard, President and Joan McManus Highlights Gwen Campbell was elected Tolo Queen Mary Lou Webster was elected Tolo Queen Junior Class Play Almost Summer, directed by Mrs. Keller Senior Class Play, ‘ Don’t Take My Penny!’” directed by Mrs. Schmidt.

'45 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of ’42 August skies were bright and blue; And if a body had a mind In old Toulon he could find Peeking around the high school door Kittens numbering fifty-four. A new experience—high school life. Would the other cats cause strife? Should one cuddle, bristle, or spit? Would it do to have a cat fit? No! No! No! You naughty kitten. To organize and work’s more fitten’. So they did and chose Mary Sue, Bob P., Phyllis, and Tom to do As class officers for the year. With Richards and Schmiedescamp to lend an ear So to work for schooling means that. Anybody knows it—even a cat! Well, the next year—forty-three, Fifty-two came—not timidly, For we had learned, and it all jived, That kittens w'ere nine-lived, And four years couldn’t get us down. We’d finish in four if we’d not clown. Officers were Phyllis and Carol K., Norma and Olive. Hip, Hip, Hooray! A student council to help settle spats! Bob S. and Olive represented soph cats. Skelley and Patton sponsored that year, And now we needed a cat to cheer, And yowl and jump as all cats do. So we upped and chose that Mary Sue. Then comes ’44 and it so happens Only 48 cats, claws a-tappin'. Came mewing at the high school door, Hungrily wanting to learn some more. Delwin, Betty, Bob C., and Donna S., Were class officers, and—oh, yes! Another yowler from the junior group— Phyllis, with Suzy, to holler and whoop. Paul, our athlete indispensible, And Marguerite, so nice and sensible. Represented student council law. Elliott and Schmidt wag teacher’s paw. Our class play turned out very well. Everyone in it did simply swell. And I think we kittens should give a cheer For Delvin, the KING of the Tolo this year. As you know we gave a fine prom, too. But hasten you hep cats. There’s plenty yet to do. Next year our claws should sharper be. For seniors bear great responsibility; And let us not forget for a minute. We should leave high school better Because WE were in it!! M. S. T. D. C M. B. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY ☆ In the autumn of '43 in padded forty-three meek little kittens. True to our character, as all kittens are, we tried to avoid being ruffled by the upper classmen. So we kittens put on our mittens and we were ready to fight. Ambitiously we started on our way, choosing as our leaders: Maynard Laub, president; Elinor Ham, vice president; Floyd Cockerham, treasurer; and Jean Bouton as secretary. We also chose Joan Green, Helen McCans, and our president to represent us for the Student Council. To help us through our years Mrs. Richards and Mr. Vidlak were appointed. The Tolo Carnival, the event of the year, arrived with our representatives being Elinor Ham and David Packard. But, since we were not too good salesmen the honor of having the chosen ones crowned was not ours. So ended the first year of our travels through Trojanville . After a summer of cat napping (which was supposed to be discontinued when the second year was started) we settled down with a total of forty-five in the Sophomore Class. To lead us through our second year we chose Rosanne Miller as president, Joan Green as vice president, David Packard as treasurer, and Helen McCans as secretary. We elected from the class, Elinor Ham, Irwin Malone and our president as our Student Council Representatives. The class advisors were Mrs. Cox and Mr. Bare. As the curtain falls on the Sophomore History, may the Kittens of '47 return next year to play the roll of studious and ambitious students. —J. G. ‘47 —J. C. ’47 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY ☆ The year of 1944, Was a very eventful one. For thirty-six little freshman kittens, Who started to have some fun. Our gallant leader, Roger, With Eldon by his side. And Mary Jane to keep the notes, And Joyce the money to guide. The seniors threw a party, With the kittens as their guest. They made up the dire results, But we had to do the rest. Then we had a little party, To pay back the senior one. It wasn’t such a huge success. But we thought everyone had fun. We decorated a corner for Homecoming, And entered in the race. It didn’t get the first prize. But it did get second place. Then to help our teams keep winning, We have to cheer a lot. And our little Polly’s leading, Is what you’d call red hot.” And though the year’s not ended, We all will surely bawl.” If we don't come back sophomores, When school begins next fall. —J. S. '48 —M.

She has heard that the author is coming to town tomorrow to see if he can find his ideal. What she doesn't know is that a clever publicity' man has placed in her home a maid who was formerly a child actress but is now grown up. The publicity man expects the author to choose the maid. Between Greg, Kerry and Gram they finally talk Penny out of the idea. Penny and her girl friend Joanna play in the tennis tournament with Kerry and Greg; Sally decides to live on the farm with Penny’s farm minded brother and raise chickens; Gram gives Mother a piece of her mind about running about giving lectures on child rearing when she should be home looking after her own family, and Mavis, Penny's own sister who has a small part in radio, is chosen to go to Hollywood to play the part of Dimity West.” A great deai of success was due to the calm patience of our director, Mrs. Jane Schmidt.

OPERETTA On November 10, the mixed chorus, directed by Mr. Patterson and accompanied by Phyllis Armstrong, presented for their annual operetta, Rings in the Sawdust.” The story tells of Alonzo Squeezem, the wealthy town banker, who holds a mortgage on a circus. Toby Dunn, the owner, is unable to pay because of a disastrous season. Sally .Squeezem, the banker’s daughter, is engaged to Toby Dunn, but because of her father's displeasure almost has to break it. Marybelle Jaybird, a fascinating widow, has set her cap for the banker much to her old maid sister's, Eliza Slimmer's, disgust. Inky Snow and Dinky Moore, circus helpers, and Sally and Toby plan to abduct the banker and take him to the Widow Jaybird’s place. Humor is provided when Inky Snow is mistaken under a blanket for the banker and in the antics of Willie Jaybird, the widow’s spoiled son. All ends happily, however, with Toby and Sally planning to be married and the widow capturing her quarry. CAST Toby Dunn ........ Sally Squeezem __ Alonzo Squeezem Marybelle Jaybird Willie Jaybird ..

JOKES Mr. Sturms, our janitor, was bragging about his ability to polish floors. When I started to work here the floors were in bad shape. But since I’ve been doing them,” he said with quiet pride, Three people have fallen down.” The chances are about ten to one that the person who slaps you on the back is trying to make you cough up something. A father was telling his young son the tale of Robinson Crusoe. And one day he saw strange footprints in the sand,” the father recited. He was puzzled for they wern't his footprints. He hadn’t seen anybody else on the island and the island was far, far away from all other lands and he said to himself, Whose footprints could these be?'” The youngster put in I know—Eleanor Roosevelt's.” On a bus in Lynchburg, Virginia, two women were talking about the war. Suddenly one of them raised her voice and said, ”1 mean this war, not the Civil War.” Wilbur was writing a letter to his mother. The food in this camp is just like poison,” he complained. And then he added, and such small portions. An Irish patriot once remarked that every man should love his native land, whether he was born there or not. A somewhat tipsy gentleman boarded a two-story bus and sat down near the driver. He talked and talked until the driver tactfully si ggested that he go up to the top deck and enjoy the fresh air. The drunk clamored upstairs. In a few minutes he was back. What’s the matter?” asked the driver. “Didn’t you like it?” Yep, nice view, nice air,” answered the drunkard. “ But it ain’t safe—no driver!” A clerk at Kelly Field was helping an old Negro fill out application papers for a Civil Service janitor job. The clerk would read off the questions and write down the answers. “Do you belong,” asked the clerk, to the Nazi bunch or any party that plans to overthrow the government?” Yas’m,” said the Negro. Which one. asked the startled clerk. The Republicans,” was the earnest reply. The aviation instructor had just delivered a lecture on the use of parachutes. “And if it doesn’t open?” someone asked. Well—that, gentlemen, is known as jumping to a conclusion.” Rusty Smith— I feel like telling Mr. Ferris where to get off again.” Dean Williams— What do you mean again ?” Rusty Smith—”1 felt like it yesterday.

The admiral on the bridge could see that he was pretty green. The old officer strode down to talk with the boy. To start things off he said. How long have you been in the Navy, son?” The young sailor replied, Three weeks. Sir, How long have you been in?” Rather taken back the officer answered, Thirty Years. The sailor thought awhile, and then said sympathetically, Isn’t it awful ?” A G. I. returned to camp exhausted after a week end of Wine, Women, and Song. On the bunk above his recumbent form hung the sign. Temporarily out of order. Police in a western city received the following letter one day. The guy, who lives next to the police station, is a crook and ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I cracked his safe last night and found it full of black market gas coupons. Signed— A friend. ♦ Don Jackson climbed on the school bus and was told he would have to stand. Hut the two girls moved over and made room for him. Charlie Robson said, Don you ought to be happy now, what more could you want?” To sit in the middle,” said Don. Phyllis Armstrong, after listening to Russell Smith's monologue about himself, inquired, Russell, if you had to do it over, would you fall in love with yourself again?” Freshman—Do you know that Mrs. Keller talks to herself? Senior—So does Mr. Ferris, but he doesn't know' it. He thinks someone is listening. Senior—Who put that bar across the front of the assembly? Freshman—Mr. Ferris. Senior—Nice, isn’t it? Don't tell your troubles to others. Most of them don't care a hang, and the rest of them are glad of it. Ike—Where have you been? Mike—In a phone booth talking to my girl; but someone wanted to use the phone so we had to get out. Would you like to see a model home? Lee asked Elmer. Glad to. What time does she quit work?” Mr. Ferris w'as criticizing the intelligence of the Physics class. He said that all their heads were good for w'as to grow hair on. Lee Porter replied, Well, that’s more than some people-can do!” Mr. Ferris was remarking about the low grades of the physics class. He said that he thought everybody would get at least a 90.

The crown bearers were Larry Booth and Janet Kay Patterson; the pages, Helen McCans and Joan Green, Marilee Porter from the senior class was crowned Queen and Delwin Cobb from the junior class was crowned King. The Queen s attendants were Donna Schmidt, Jeanne Bouton, and Joyce Trimmer. The King's attendants were Dean Williams, Benny Peterson and Wallace Webster. Afterward the confetti and streamers decorated the gym and everyone danced to the music of Jimmy Girkin's orchestra. SPORTS FOOTBALL ☆ The 1944 football squad under the coaching of Keith Bare had a most eventful season. Early in the season Myron Laub broke his leg and was unable to play with the team. Although we lost the first three games we learned many fundamentals of football which were to help us later in the season. During the Wethersfield game Dean Williams broke his wrist which proved to be a handicap the rest of the season. The next game we played Dunlap and tied them. On October 12, an event occurred which was a setback to the team. Bob Grieve broke his leg in the Galva game. After that we settled down and won the last three games. During the season Herb Smith broke his collar bone in practice and was unable to be with us the rest of the season. Many reserves showed up good in practice this year and next year's team ought to be a success.

CAPTAINS CHEERLEADERS Dean Williams Mary Sue Turner Mac McCans Phyllis Armstrong Dean Grieve Joan Green Polly Armstrong MW m BASKETBALL ☆ The T. T. H. S. basketball team finished a successful season this year. The team really put forth all they had and almost every game was a thrilling one. The team was composed of two Seniors, two Juniors, and one Sophomore. We are expecting a good showing from the team next year. Paul Unruh, continued as high point man for the second year. Dean Williams did a swell job of captaining the team and brought home the trophy for the Stark County Tournament to be presented to the school. Lee Porter, played swell all around basketball, and really put out for his Senior year. Maynard Laub is only a sophomore and has had plenty of varsity experience which will be helpful in his next two years.. James Gelvin played a lot of ball for a little man. I guess it helps to be small sometimes. Johnny Cover, George Heaton, Dave Harrington, and Dean Grieve, went in to the games when they were needed and helped out the First String men. All of the boys had their moments of glory but it was team work that really won the games for them and gave them the team they had. The Reserve team was made up entirely of Freshman and Sophomores. They didn’t win very many games but the experience they received will be available in later years when they take their places on the Varsity team.

L. 4} 1945 TRACK ☆ With ten lettermen, Dean Grieve, Captain; Ira McCans, Tom Lester, Phil Allen, Paiul Unruh, Dean Williams, Delwin Cobb, Jim Gelvin, Jerry Kelly, Dave Harrington, and Maynard Laub returning on the 1945 track team and the interest shown by all those who were out for track, the season ahead appeared to be a good one. We have not as yet had any meets, but we are practicing on our specialties trying to get in shape for the meets to come and we expect a pretty good team with so many lettermen returning and the underclassmen coming up strong to fill in where vacancies were left by graduation. The first meeting which the Trojans will participate in will be the Geneseo Relays. Dean Grieve, high point scorer for the Toulon Trojan Track Team, placed second in the District Meet at Kewanee which entitled him to enter the state meet at the University of Illinois. He failed to place in the semi-finals, so as to advance to the finals. That has been Dean’s second trip to the State Meet, and neither time has he placed in finals.

A passenger rushed up to the captain, Stop this boat!” he cried. Why, you can t even see the water from the rail.” No, replied the captain, but I can the stars overhead.” Yeah, said the passenger, but what good is that Unless the boiler blows up, were not going that way.” Becky Ferris camcs from Sunday School one day carrying an illustrated card. Mrs. Ferris asked her what she had. Oh, just an advertisement about Heaven,” she replied. ♦ A customer entered a tobacco store, put a Bible on the counter, told the clerk to place his hand on it, and said, Now swear you haven't any Luckies. During a discussion on girls. Rusty Smith remarked: 1 like the shy, demure type myself. You know, the kind you have to whistle at twice. Two marines were bragging about their respective outfits. When we presented arms,” said one, all you could hear was slap, slap, click. With us it was slap, slap, jingle, said the other. Jingle, what was that? Our Medals. How far have you sung? queried a very bored Mr. Patterson listening to a Freshman try out for chorus. Down to where it says refrain she replied. Then, he remarked, yawning, I suggest you do what it says.” Hearing a strange noise in the night, the Quaker investigated and found a burglar ramsacking his kitchen. He took his fowling piece and called down the stair landing. Friend, I would do thee no harm for all the world—but thou standest where I am about to shoot. Young Angus had been out late with his girl. When he reached home he found his father waiting up for him. Have you been out with that lassie again? asked the old man. Aye, father, but why do you look so worried. asked Angus. 1 was just wondering what the evening cost, he responded. No more than a half a crown. Aye? That’s not so much.” No, father, but it was ail SHE had.” During the half of the Walnut game, when we were two touchdowns behind, the team expected a terrible blistering from the coach. But, instead Mr. Bare just sat there and looked at them. When the ref told him it was time to go he stood up and said, All right girls— let's go!” Mrs. Keller: (to Clifford Linker who was cutting up in Sociology Class), Clifford, come up and sit down in front. Clifford: I can't. I'm not made that way.” Who broke that chair in the parlor last night?” asked Mr. Trimmer. It just collapsed all of a sudden father, but neither of us was hurt, Timidly replied Jane. Do you drive your car to school every morning, Mr. Bare?” No, I coax it.” Why do so many women rest their chins on their hands when they are thinking?” To keep their mouths shut so they won’t disturb themselves. $ I have a sliver in my finger,” said George.
