Pour years ago on September 6, 1935, 29 timid little Preshies were ushered into the corridors of Tremont Community High School, disposing ourselves as quietly as possible into the first vacant desks our eyes alighted upon. We made desperate attempts to hide our despair and fear at finding ourselves in 3uch an immense universe with so many impertinent Sophomores, those too jolly Juniors, and those awful dignified Seniors. Seeker to serve our class in the honorable position of President; Marian olliger as Vice President; and Norma Jean Hoffman as Secretary-Treasurer. After several weeks of school had passed we heard rumors that we were to be initiated by those merciless Sophomores. At the time it was quite embarrasing to display our none too gifted talents, before the faculty and student body. A few davs later they favored us with a weiner roast w’ich we returned several weeks later. We were grateful for that ever patient and guiding hand of our class advisor. Miss Hellemann who so faithfully helped us through our Freshman year. When our class assembled for school in ninetoon- hundred thirty six, we were saddened by the thought teat a number of our former classmates would not be with us through the following year. Those who did not return were: Hazel Lynch, Lucile Kvle, Marjorie and Delores Keidcl, Lydia Miller, Viola TT a 4_ w -P -_ Chapter II. Kee, Merle Nafiziger, Loren Lowry and Clarence Schurtcr. We were happy to welcome Jean Lambert to our class. In our class election, shortly after school started, we elected -Dorothy Mae Getz as President; Bill May as Vice President; Marian Bolliger as Secretary- Treasurer; and iur. Gerstner (Socky) as our class advisor. We held our annual weiner roast for the Freshmen several weeks after school had started. Our class again participated in chorus, G.A.A., orchestra, basketball, baseball, and the dramatic club. The play of Silas Karner was given in the sprang by our English class as a library benefit. As the year drew to a close we decided to select our class rings from Herff-Jones who gave each of us who purchased a ring a sliver bracelet with our emblem on it. Thus, the second year of our hapoy school days drew to a close. Chapter III. Upon entering school in the following fall, we felt more grown-up and happily welcomed two new- comers to our little family. They were Hallie Ellis and Harold Haskett. Class officers for the year were: Marian Bolliger, President; Marge Bennett, Vj.ce President; Esther Connell, Secretary-Treasurer; and Mrs. 3artrum, Class Advisor. during the first few weeks of school we re- ceived our rinrs and a e very proud of them and for what they 3tand. We gave a hamburger fry for the Seniors and in return they gave us a weiner roast which we appre- ciated very much. In November our class under the supervision end direction of Mrs. Bartrum, present- ed ’'Speed1' a three act farce. The cast consisted of Norma Jean Hoffman, Dorothy Getz, Alice Mae Sauder, Marian Bolliger, Marge Bennett, Esther Connell, Bob Becker, Harold Haskett, Bud G-union Duane Hild, and Fred Lutz, stage manager. Our total profit amounted to sixty-five dollars. A party, given to the voctorious side in the ticket selling contest was chaperoned by Miss Hellemann and Mrs. Bartrum. We were very sorry to have Fred Lutz leave us in December when he Joined the U.S. Navy. The greatest high light of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at Roland’ Tea Room in Bloomington. After a delicious meal we attended the Irving Theater where we saw Tom Sawyer . We were also allowed to attend the Weslyan Conference with the Seniors. Chapter IV. Time Marches On II! Here we—once known as, dignified 3eniors . (Or don’t you think so?) Two of our classmates, Hallie Ellis and Alvin Hoffman, did not come back this year, but we were very happy to welcome a new member to our circle— Shirley Van Horn. This year, Harold Haskett holds the honorable office of bless President; Duane Hild, Vice-Pred- ldent; and Mabel Storrer, Secretary-Treasurer. Many lectures were given on the various vocations i____________ which we may select for our life's work. We attend- ed a play produced by Bradley Students and were then taken to the Madison Theater for a movie. Smilin; Through was presented by our class on May twelfth with the entire class being represen- ted in the cast. Our scenery was designed by Mabel Storrer, Verla Schweigert, and Martha Burk, but almost all of the kids had a hand in painting it. WIi npi -L-L r Ui OCCUVIU, wo aw uvimt-u Guidance Conference for Seniors at Bradley College little green freshies —have grown up to be On April Fourteenth, we attended the Bradley Our commercial team was composed by Dorothy Getz, Esther Connell, Marian Bolllger, Norma Jean Hoffman, and Duane Hild. Last Tuesday evening, May Sixteenth, we were very pleasantly entertained by the Juniors at the University Club at Peoria, and after a lovely program we were all taken to the Palace Theater, where we saw The Life Of Alexander Graham Bell . We wish to acknowledge our appreciation to the Juniors for this very lovely banquet. We have yet to look forward to such events as the Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises which are to be held on Ma$ twenty-first and May twenty- seventh, respectively. It Is with heavy hearts that we bid a tearful farewell to dear old Alma Mater. We will hold in our hearts many beautiful memories of our high school days here together. I take this opportunity to thank all of pur faculty for the wonderful cooperation they have shown us during our four years in high school.

CLASS PROPHECY Station JOY presents the highlights in the Tremont Community Class of 39 as seen by Marianne Bolliger, Commentator on World Affairs. Y e now present Miss Bolliger. Hello folks, well, here I am once more speaking to you from Station JOY after an extended tour to the East Coast. I shall summarize briefly to you the many famous and interesting people with whom I came in contact. One morning upon alighting from the tram at New York, I was surprised to find Franklin Gunion, Star Reporter, for New York Herald, interviewing the various passengers. I gave him a few interesting inoidents for his paper and called a taxi to take me to my hotel. That taxi driver looked very familiar to me, and after a few minutes of hesitation, I discovered him to be no one else but Don Morris. On my way, X, also, passed the large dance studio of Jeanne Lambert. As I remember Jeanne back in old T. C. H. S., she was always dancing. It seemed quite natural for her to be doing this type of work. In a short while, I arrived at Waldorf-Astoria and met Mr. Lester Merle May (Bill, as I knew him) seated at the register desk. While registering I chatted with him a few minutes then went to my room, I was there only a few minutes when, Mis3 Mabelle Storrer, poet and journalist for Cospolitan arrived for an interview. After Mabelle left. Miss Irno Adcox, Social Secretary to the Mrs, J. A. Vanderbilt telephoned, inviting me to dine with them that evening. As perhaps you know, Mrs. Vanderbilt, was formerly Miss Borothy Getz of Tremont. If then, went down to the beauty shop to get a manicure from none other than Martha Burk. Both Miss Burk and Miss Shirley Van Horn are very successful beauticians In this same shop. After this, I went out to the N.B.C. Studios to get my material organized for this fifteen minute broadcast. On my way, I met Mr. Charles Augustin, who Is a prosperous farmer back in Tre- mont, Illinois. He was vacationing in New York. With him was Vadls Rlggenbach, prominent rancher from Wyoming. Vadls informed me that he is taking up flying in his spare time. I was to meet Mrs. Vanderbilt at eight, so I hurried back to my hotel to dress for dinner. Upon entering my room, I was very pleasantly surprised to find Miss Esther Connell, who, incidentally, has Just captured the World's Pro- fessional Typing Championship with 350 words a minute. After chatting with Esther for a few minutes, it was time for me to meet Mrs. Vanderbilt. Upon entering the dining room, I was very pleasantly surprised to meet Mr. Harold Haskett, head of a large engineering firm in New York City. With him was Mr. Duane Hild, who is an investigator of Income Tax returns. They were waiting for Mr. William McMurry, who, they told me, was in the F. B. I. He had been seriously wounded in a fight with gangsters but was now recovering very rapidly, due to expert nursing by Verla Schweigert the modern Florence Nightingale. We then proceeded to our table. Upon glancing at the orchestra platform, I almost fell off my chair when I recognized Bob Becker, leading the orchestra. He saw me simultaneously and dedicated the next number to me. It was sung by Norma Jean Hoffman, orchestra vocalist, who incidentally, is a partner with Bob in life, as well as in business. (His wife). At the bottom of the menu, I saw that Miss Alice Mae Sauder was the Chief Dietician at the hotel After dinner, we went to Carnegie Hall, where Miss Marge Bennett, who had just returned from several years' study abroad, was making her debut on the concert stage. She was an overwhelming success. Well, folks, I see my time is up and I wiil say So long until tomorrow at this same time. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September 1936, thirty-seven green freshles stepped into the door of Tremont High School. We elected the following officers: Advisor Coach Annesenz President: Jim Weeks Vice President: Sylvan Unsicker Secretary: Mildred Morris We endured all the ill treatment that initiation brought forth and then settled down to some serious studying. During the year we enjoyed numerous parties, and at the end of the year we attended the all school picnic at Mineral Springs Park. When we entered school the next fall we were Sophomores feeling very grown up. Five members of our class were lost: Charles Naffziger Edward Lehman Betty Hendershott Russell Paine Nellie McCoy Two new members, Eldora Helninger and John Riggenbach were added to our class. Our class officers for this year were: Advisor: Coach Borri President: Bernice Schaefer Vice President: Sylvan Unsicker Secretary: Norma Jean Getz During the year our class was farther reduced by the loss of Margaret Van Buren, Mildred Morris, and Duane Gearien. The Freshmen and Sophomores had a welner roast and a theater party and most of us attended the all-school party in March Our class was very well represented in all the school sports. When school started this fall we entered T. C. H. S. as Juniors. Now it was our task to set a good example for the underclassmen. There are thirty-three in our class. Advisor: Miss Lay President: Kiram Shepherdson Vice President: Harold Paine Sec.-Treasurer: Ora Lee Benson During the year we held several parties. As before our class was v ell represented in school sports. We presented our class play The Whole Town’s Talking on December 1.

The officers of our class were: President--Ben Miller Vice President--Duane Litwiller Secretary-Treasurer--Les Schweigert Clas3 Advisor--Mr. Gerstner A few weeks after we entered T. C. H. S. the Sophomore Class entertained us with a weiner roast. We gave them a theater party in return. Last September the sophomores, thirty-two in number, assembled and organized our clas3 for this year. The following officers were chosen: President—Ryan Hild Vice President--Bernadette Cooney Secretary Treasure--Duane Litwiller Class Advisor--Coach Borri The four high spots of the year were four parties During the first semester we had our two annual parties with the freshies, a theater party and a weiner roast. Several weeks ago our class spent a pleasant evening skating. Many of the sophomores attended the all-school party that was held in March. During the last semester we were sorry to lose another one of our class members, Frank McCoy. No new members entered our class this year. The Sophies are all very much interested and also play a large part in most of the all-school activities. They take part in band, chorus, orchestra, basket-ball, baseball, and track. Ve are all looking forward to next year when we will become high powered Juniors and will be very busy. j-ithoiL-JC CLASS Beck Row--Aoss Oedetlt, Ivin cowe11, i.’.erle 'chnidt, i.elson Stuber, Donald Hoffman, obert :breve, ober.

At first, everything was a little confusing, but, being a very Intelli- gent class, we were soon able to find our way around. There were twenty-three boys, and twenty-three girls at the beginning of the term� This was the largest class ever to enter Tremont High School. We were sorry to have Carol Getz, Mary Ann Falkowskl, and Edward McCoy leave us during the year. At our first class meeting, Duane Getzz was elected president, Pat Weeks, Vice-Pres- ident, and Elaine Getz, Secretary-Treasurer. We chose Mr. Gerstner for our class advisor. A few weeks after school started, we were entertained by the Sophomores at a weiner roast and we, in turn, had a theater party for them. Quite a few members of our class were in the A'Cappella Choir Concert given this Spring. We were especially proud that Madeline oerner, Pat Weeks, and Bob Getz were chosen to be In the Contest Chorus, which placed in the first division. We were equally proud of Donna Wllkey and Madeline Woerner, who represented our school in Dramatic and Humorous Declamations. We are all looking forward to our remain- ing three years in T. C. H. S. A’CAPPELLA CHOIR At the first Choir rehearsal, the choir and the director was faced with a problem—the lack of boys in the organization. Thirty-two girls and eight boys were registered; and it was essential that we have the boys; so through the wonderful co- operation of the boys, we finally had raised our quota to twenty boys. Mrs, McQulnness had a very unique way of doing this. She held try-outs for three days, and each boy was to see if his voice could be used in the choir. There was no drilling as to whether or not they would Join this organi- zation; the boys desired voice training if they could be of any use to the choir. New books were purchased, as work in last year’s books had been completed. We are singing four-part Music now, and I think that it is much to the advantage of the students. Our great aim this year was to purchase robes to make us outstanding in appearance as well as out-standing in vocal features. We had two bakery sales to help advance the purchasing of robes. There was a select group chosen from the choir, to be represented in Peking. This group with selected groups from others in the County was to sing under the direction of Mr. Lundgren, the Head of Music in Springfield High School. Those chosen were very fortunate to be allowed to sing under such a wonderful director. We rehearsed for two and a half hours in the morning, and sang in the auditorium at one-thirty for the Teachers Meeting. Throughout the year we made several public appearances. We sang at Parent-Teachers Meeting, before the Yfoman's Club, and several times in the assembly. We were also represented at the County Contest. We sang John Peel , and Now Thank We All Our God , Our choir was placed in first division. The most outstanding event of the year in the music deportment was the A'Cappelle. Choir Concert. We wore our robe6 for the first time, and presented a program that should live long in our memories. The program was as follows: Czecho-Slovakian Dance Song-----------——— Krone The Sleep Of The Child Jesus------------- Gevaert Since First I Saw Your Face--------------- Ford 0 Filie St Filiae-----------French XXII Century Lovely Rose---------------------------—MacDowell Karge Eennett Luxembourg Gardens------------------ Hanning Norma Jean Hoffman Now Thank Je All Our God------------- —-----Bach John Peel------------------------------- Andrews .diene•re You Walk----------------------- Handel Robert Becker Lo, .That A Beauteous Rose------------Praetorlous Co e Again !

We sincerely ho- e this will be achieved. It is with much sadness that we, the Seniors, bid Tremont High A'Coppella Choir, adieu. Long may it live I!

The team average this year was .372, they won three games and lost five. The team was crippled considerably after the first two games when Schaefer retired with a sprained ' ankle. This gave Teeny” Weeks; a sophomore, a chance to break with the line-up and earn a letter. The leading hitters were Becker, May and Schaefer. All of these boys will be lost next year by virtue of the diplomas. The following boys won letters this year: Seniors: Bill May—Catcher Bill McMurry—Third Base and Pitcher Harold Haskett—Right Field Duane Hlld—Center Field Juniors: Sylvan Unslcker—Outfield Mitzy Lehman—Left Field Lawrence Schaefer—First Base John Riggenbach—Pitcher and Third Base Sophomores: Ben Miller—Second Base Harold Weeks—First Base .Ben Miller, the shining Sophomore Star, is the Captain-Elect for next year. Good luck, Boys. M3E 8R5F S BASKET BALL NEWS Tremont High School should be proud of this year’s basketball team. This years team was one of the most successful that has been in the school for the last few years. They won 19 games and lost 6, This gives them a percentage of .760. This season was started and ended with overtime games, and in both cases Tremont was the sad loser. The first was to Green Valley on their floor and the second to Deer Creek in the Regional Tourney at Pekin. The ’’Turks lost only one game on the home floor this year. It was lost to Mackinaw by a score of 46-33. This margin was more than the total margin of the other five games lost. This year’s team was composed mostly of Seniors, which will be a great loss to the team next year. The following men received letters: Seniors: Captain Harold Haskett Robert Becker Bill McMurry Bill May Bud Gunion Vadis Rlggenbach Juniors: Lawrence Schaefer John Rlggenbach Clarence Lehman Sylvan Unsicker The high point men this year were John and Vadis Rlggenbach. Captain Harold Haskett made the most free throws. G.A.A. ACTIVITIES This year marks the end of our fourth year in G.A.A . work. The girls have enjoyed it a lot, and hope to continue the organization. Last fall an initiation party was planned and about eighteen freshmen girls were initi- ated. The Alumni were invited and a pot-luck supper was served. This spring the Junior girls again arranged a banquet for the boy's Athletic Club. Mr. Rae Elliot, Assistant Football Coach at Champaign, gave a very interesting talk. Miss Helleman, our sponsor, and a group of the girls attended the District Play-Day at Peoria this spring. We were honored with a short visit from Miss Geraldine Rennert, State President of F.A.A. She complimented our organization on its activeness. We plan to have the Mother-Daughter Ban- quet next fall because of the many other activities this spring. The girls will receive their awards for their achievements. We are all looking forwarcE to an enjoyable time next fall. HIOH CRIER Three years ago the Senior G. A. A. girls decided to organize a staff and print a weekly school paper. They chose Eleanor Carrier and Ruby Pflederer editor. Later the girls held a contest in order to select a name. They decided that High Crier , was the best name submitted. The following year the Senior G. A. A. girls again took over the task of printing a weekly paper. They did not appoint an editor but took turns supervising the printing. The past year the Senior girls took charge of the paper with Mabel Storrer and Dorothy Getz acting as editors. Tow complete staffs were chosen to serve once alternately each month. There were about seventy subscribers this year. Since there was no advertising in the paper, it was not published for profit. Miss Hellemann, G. A. A. leader, sponsored the school paper. For nore than one-third of a Century we have been Tazewell County’s leading service dealers. Keep this in nine! when select- ing fam equipnent. SINCE 1901 BEYER.
