Toulon Township High School - Tolo Yearbook (Toulon, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1965 volume:

The memory of this past year will often roll through your minds like a song. Its gay tune was formed from your laughter, joy, friendliness. Its high notes were expressed through your scholarship, service, leadership, and character. In this year many problems were encountered, and in discovering more openly your role as an individual, you reached your first pinnacle of success. We invite you to listen to the music again by glancing through the pages of this yearbook. Here you will find your teachers, friends, classmates, and your school. TABLE OF CONTENTS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN DEDICATION....................3 ADMINISTRATION................5 SENIORS......................10 JUNIORS .....................28 ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS . . MUSIC .... PERSONALITIES dedication We, the class of 1965, proudly dedicate this Tolo to our class sponsors, Mr. Treash and Mr. Vicini. Their time, and efforts devoted in aiding us throughout these four years has been a great help. The hours they have spent in planning and helping us plan our many money making activities such as coatcheck, dances, concessions, candy sales, etc. for the Prom and Senior Trip are unlimited and we deeply appreciate this. To show this appreciation it is only fitting that we dedicate this Tolo to both of you. This is our way of saying “Thank You,” to both of you. Administration MR. G. BUCHERT Home Economics MRS. H. B. CARLOCK Science MRS. FUHR, MISS SKELLEY, MR. HARLAND. MR. E. HAMPTON MISS PYFER MU emors As seniors we can look back on these high school years and reminisce. There are so many memories. They began .............. .....1961 - fall - as a new bunch of green freshmen, seventy-two strong, entered the golden doors of T. T. H. S. Seniors, this was us. The freshman year proved to be filled with new experiences. At homecoming we surprised probably the entire gathering by winning first place in the float contest. Our officers for the year were Dave Doden, pres. ; Wes Wilkinson, V. pres.; Martha Macy, sec. treas. ; Janet Cinnamon, reporter; Jim Rennick and Jackie Miller, student council representatives. The year passed quickly as we took our place in the high school events, enjoying all that we could. Soon we found ourselves sophomores. Another great year! We were no longer the youngest in school. Although not on top of the winners list, we were happy to receive third place in the homecoming float contest. Basketball games became a means of moneymaking. We were in charge of the coat check, a fairly profitable business. Secretary-treasurer Mary Wright was trying desperately to collect class dues--for both freshman and sophomore years in some cases. We had no change in presidency, Mike Gallagher for vice president, Linda Durbin as reporter, with the same two for student council. Another year was closing. Now we see ourselves with a new title........juniors. The long anticipated year had arrived. This would be a busy hectic one; however, there were many wonderful moments sandwiched between the working hours. By way of a bit of inventive genius on the part of some of us, we were named first prize winners for our homecoming float. This year we made our millions with the basketball concessions, door-to-door candy sales, and our class play. Dave Doden continued as president, Nancy Webster took the role of vice-president, Priscilla lies became secretary-treasurer, Linda Durbin served again as reporter, while Barb Pyle and Jackie Miller were student council representatives. After a series of committee meetings and many study halls spent making flowers the big night came for Under the Magnolias. However, the following Monday morning there were some worn out seniors roaming the halls. We hated to see this year leave us; yet we could not stop time. This senior year has been the greatest. Everything we do seems to have special significance because it’s the last time we'll do it. Homecoming king and queen were Barb Pyle and Charlie Jackson. We were victorious for the third year in the float contest taking first place. Together we worked hard on the class play; we also made money with the football concession stands. Another class project was our light bulb sale with all the profits going to our newly organized AFS Chapter. We were proudly honored guests at the lovely junior prom which they gave for us. We will always remember this occasion for years to come. We also enjoyed the trip that our class of 69 souls took to Chicago. There have been many other remembrances from these four years. Let's hope we can recall the good times as we look back in later years. At least we can say we made it without any fatalities from semester tests. The top ten, scholastically speaking, are Nancy Streitmatter, Dave Doden, Charlie Jackson, Mary Wright, Carolyn Aman, Ruth Nicholson, Jackie Miller, Jim Rennick, Nancy Webster, and Trudie Talbert. Our class colors were lavender and white, our flower was orchid, and our motto was We thank our sponsors, Mr. Vicini and Mr. Treash, as well as the rest of the faculty for the help they have given us throughout these four years. To the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors of next year we wish the best of luck. Now we must leave with our last departing words being GOOD-BYE. 1 1 RONNIE MASON President He has a head for figures--we mean math, of course.

This year the FT A was fairly active. A merit point system was established at the beginning of the year. Awards and recognition of good standing were given to all the Future Teachers who achieved the required amount of points. During American Education Week apples were given to the teachers, book marks were placed in library books, and a bulletin board was displayed. Many Future Teachers participated in student teaching at the grade school. Several college campuses were visited in the latter part of the year. President.......... Vice-President . .

Our FFA Chapter had 33 members this year. Mr. Pearson did a wonderful job of help ing us with our activities when we needed it. Our money making projects were rat bait, garden seeds, steam cleaning tractors, corn plot, and our Ploy Boy Prom. The FFA Sweetheart was Pat Olmsted. This was the first year we have had a Ploy Boy Prom for several years, but it turned out very good. A Hog-Calling, Cakewalks, and special singing and other music made the dance a success. Non-money making activity for the year was the giving of the Christmas basket. All the classes participated in many other activities. During FFA Week the chapter went to church at the Toulon Baptist Church. Six members, including Mr. Pearson attended the National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. It was very interesting. 4i Vice-President Diana Blank Points Chairman Beth Smith President Nancy Streitmatter Secretary-Treas.

The sports we participated in were divided among the nine months we had school. The year was started off with a five-mile hike and weiner roast for the new members. The calendar also included a party for the football players, informal and formal initiation, bake sale, No Talk To Boys Day , GAA dance, and Presentation of Awards. Activity nights through the year were enjoyed with such activities as soccer, archery, volleyball, bowling, basketball, softball, and gymnastics. GAA participated in bowling, archery, and basketball postal tournaments. The classes also had tournaments in line soccer, volleyball, and basketball. I t This past year the editor of the Toulonicle was Mary Wright. She was assisted by Pat Olmsted, who is next years editor. Mr. James Treash was this organizations advisor. The staff consisted of about 45 members that wrote articles for the organizations or special features they represent six times during the year. Primarily, the outstanding problem for the editor is to get all the articles handed in on time . After the articles are handed in two days later, work begins. If one could stop by the commercial rooms after school during the week the paper is being edited, one would seethe industrious production staff typing away and both the editors pasting and stenciling like mad !! Actually, though, the most fun of all is stapling the Toulonicles together during the 9th hour of the day then they are passed out. Mass confusion reigns!!

The chapter parents this year were Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Miller and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Pyell. Some of the activities we participated in were: Welcome Breakfast, Christmas Formal, Heartsister Week, FHA Week, Formal Initiation (of freshmen). Section Rally at Buda, and Senior Picnic. Due to Mary Sue Anderson's moving away we had to elect in the middle of the year, a new secretary and she was Sandy Frail. CHAPTER PARENTS Jformal and Initiation The Queen for the Christmas formal was Jackie Miller. The class attendants were: senior, Linda Durbin; junior, Connie Blair; sophomore, Janice McRell; and freshman, Vicky Sykes. This year the formal Queen and the attendants were not announced to the public until that night. The theme was “Sleigh Ride . Music was furnished by Eldon Ilurstein and his orchestra.

The Trojans were a vastly improved team over the last year's team. The Trojans won THREE and lost SIX. This is great considering for the last three years our record has been 1-8. A vote of praise should be given to Duane Thorne and Roger Sornburger in receiving Blackhawk All Conference Honorable mention. The 1964 football team was never accused of not trying to do their best. This showed up very plainly when they won three of their last four games. We hope that the 1965 football team will have a winning season. This year's seniors, who will be missed next year, are: I. Nelson, D. Thorne, J. Lambert, J. Campbell, D. Doden, D. Krans, D. Webster, C. Jackson, J. Muckey, R. Collins, W. Wilkinson, and E. Webster. Coach Keefauver 56 P.

High scorer for the J.V. Trojans was John Addis, who accumulated 37 points. Along with this Joe Minton gained 30 points, Steve Hatfield 24, Cliff Snyder 20, and Ron Lewis 7 points. It is a toss-up for the most yardage gained between the fine running backs. The J.V. 's look as though they will make a fine addition to the Varsity football team next year.

The Trojan Varsity Basketball team ended its season with a 10-14 record. These 10 wins are more than the teams of the last three years have had. Also this season the Trojans took home a third place trophy from the Princeville Holiday Tournament. A vote of praise should be given to Dave Doden. Dave was selected for the Blackhawk Second Team All-Conference Squad. We hope that next year's team can do better despite the loss of the following seniors: Dave Doden, Ivan Nelson, Larry Ingle, Charles Jackson, Dan Krans, Joe Campbell, and Dave Grant.

V. 's ended their season just a shade under . 500. This does not really show the way the games went. Most all of them were hard-fought and right down to the wire. There was a battle for the most rebounds the whole season. The victor was Joe Minton. Our high scorer was Ron Lewis with 183 points. Although the team did not win many the spirit was there all the way. We hope that the boys who will be juniors will be a great help to the varsity next year through our experience of this year. 66 ®as?hall 1965 With only two regulars graduating from last year's Blackhawk Conference Championship baseball team, the Trojans will be considered the team to beat for this year's conference title. Last year our Trojan baseball team won the southern conference with a perfect 4-0 record. The Trojans were good under pressure because most of these wins were by one or two runs. The team ended their conference play with a 2-1 victory over the Flying Geese of Wethersfield who were the champions of the northern conference. This gave Toulon its first Baseball Blackhawk Conference in the history of the school. The team and the school were very proud of this. Hopes are that this year's team will be able to repeat history.

SITTING: Roger Sornberger, John Catton, Dick Hart, Dave Doden, Charlie Jackson, and Wes Wilkinson. Last year's track season was climaxed by Walt Anderson’s winning the discus in the Blackhawk meet. Our mile relay team placed fourth with three juniors running. Because of this we are expecting this relay team to be one of the stronger points of the team. As far as the dual meets go, the members of the team feel confident that we can win most of these. However, the big meets may 68 Due to this being the first time in history that Toulon has won the Blackhawk Conference Baseball Game (1964) we would like to give you a review of the game. The game for championship was played at the home of the Flying Geese. The Trojans started fast with two runs in the first inning. This was all they scored but their defense was good enough to give them a record win. Wethersfield scored their only run in the fifth inning. In the last inning the Trojans stopped Wethersfield's only opportunity to score with pressure fielding. Dan Krans stopped the strong Wethersfield team to only four hits while striking out six. After a shaky start Bill Swearinger pitched a fine game but was credited with the loss while giving up two hits and striking out twelve. Shown below is the trophy in which the Trojans were presented for this win. The bat is for highest average in batting in which Joe Campbell, with a 345, name was placed. Catton iHftustc This year the Marching Trojans gave community a variety of halftime programs ranging from Halloween Hi-Jinks to Homecoming Festivities. Every Monday, Wednesday, or Friday from 11:30 - 12:00, one could see them marching through their places on the football field. The Marching Trojans participated in Illinois State University Homecoming Festivities by marching in their parade. This was quite an experience for the band although everyone was beat after marching for 3 MILES!!! HP (ptajorettes Martha Macy ICet tfy Crumpets Call . .

(Emtcerf The concert band this past year has presented quite a variety of musical programs ranging from concerts to pep meetings to musicals. The band consisted of approximately 65 members that put in many hard working hours practicing scales and songs. The band supported the team by playing at all but two of the basketball games. Their musical interludes consisted mostly of popular songs and marches. The concert band’s Christmas program entitled A Christmas Party was quite well received. It consisted of musical numbers depicting a typical holiday party full of gaiety and holiday spirit. All in all, this past year was quite rewarding for the concert band due to the expert direction of Mr. McNeal. 76 (Eljorus 77 BOTTOM ROW: S. Swedeen, J. Miller, P. Paulson, M. Creasy, B. Annear, J.

For most of us, we have been here for our four years of high school. Now we must leave and step out to face a future that is very uncertain. In whatever degree of success or failure we may find ourselves in years to come, if a glance at these pages will lighten our labor--if only for a single moment--we deem our yearbook worthwhile. Each of the students here at T. T. H. S. had a part in making this school year one to remember. Each event will be remembered; some were happy occasions, and others sad, but they are made a part of our school career—a time never to be forgotten. In closing we would like to express our appreciation and thanks to each of the staff members who gave of their time to produce this yearbook and to the teachers who were inconvenienced by our picture taking, etc. We hope you enjoy The Tolo . It was ours for almost a year. Now it belongs to you.
