ADVERTISING EDICATIO In sincere appreciation of her fourteen years service to our school as Commerce In- structor, who has given our Commerce Department a great reputation, for her excellent supervision of the school news- paper, the “Hi-Crier”, and as a friend and advisor to us all, we. the members of the Stud- ent Council, dedicate this sec- ond volume of the “Echo” to Lydia Koch, Commerce In- structor. FOREWORD To perpetuate the worth- while, to obliterate the worth- less, to see the best in view, to uphold the traditions and ideals fostered by our prede- cessors, and to leave some- thing to posterity, has been the aim of the Student Coun- cil of 1944.

Page 14 PROPHECY And that, ladies and gentlemen, was Jean McLaughlin singing “Thistle Hack- ing Papa”. Don’t fail to listen in tomor- row evening when Crystal Krunches again bi’ings you the beautiful voice of Jean McLaughlin with her mandolin. This is station BANG. The next voice you will hear will be that of Ernie Aberle, radio columnist. Mr. Aberle: “Hello, Radio Friends: Heading the news this evening is the returns of the contest between Frank Sinatra, Jr-, 60, 974; Edward Nafziger, 62,887. So there it is. Congratulations, Eddie. You’re now the new Swoon Crooner. “I suppose you have all heard about the premier of the new picture, ‘The Song of Annette’, starring that sweet lit- tle newcomer to the screen, Miss Mary Lay. It was a great success so we are waiting to find out if she will win the Oscar for giving the best performance of the year. “The comic strip writer that wrote the comics, ‘Fritze Mitz’ and ‘Little Clan- cy,’ has retired because of ill health Pat Shepherdson is now taking her place. Good luck to you, Pat. “The gay divorcee, Janice Hodgson, has just been granted a divorce from husband No. 8. She is now in Reno and it is rumored she is going to be married again. We hope she will make a success of it this time. “The favorite baseball team, the Chi- cago Bubs, have just won the World Series from the New York Cliants, by an 8 to 7 score- The winning pitcher was Billy Carius, known to all his fans as ‘Ditty’! “Dorothy Oyer has been given first billing at the Stork Club. She does her famous dance routine. Of course, she owes her success to her instructor, Joyce Hoffman. “Les Kalb and his wife, the former Bernadine Hillman, have been touring the country. She was seen at the Van Dorf’s party wearing the family pearls. They both deny separation rumors. “Leah Rowell is starting her radio career tonight on the same station. She has been singing for Emanuel Baer’s band, but Baer and his 80 piece band are going to star in a new picture so Miss Rowell has accepted this radio pos- ition. Civilia Shane will accompany her on the piano. Let’s all give them our support. “The aviatrix, Joy Pflederer, is start- ing her flight around the world tomor- row night. Her assistant, Louise Bau- man, will also go along. “By the way folks, have you heard that Admiral Humphrey has just arriv- ed in town. He will be visiting with rela- tives and friends this week before he goes back to sea. “The last of our news for this even- ing is that of the three acrobats, Verla Paine, Mary Alice Hinman, and Ernest- ine Kresin. They are going to appear with the Wilson Carnivals coming here next week. “Well, that’s all for now. Be seeing you tomorrow evening. “This is station BANG. “And now the Harm Curl Company presents Martha Hackney and her bed- time stories. Miss Elizabeth Lusher will sing our opening and closing lullabys.” Page 15 We, the class of 1944 of Tremont Community High School, of Tremont, in the County of Tazewell, and State of Illinois, being of sound and disposing mind, do hereby make our Last Will and Testament, to distribute our many good qualities to the less fortunate ones fol- lowing us, in order as justly may be. To the junior class, we bequeath our place as rulers of the school, and hope that you will keep up the records that we have set up in our four years of toil and strife. To the sophomore class, we leave our studious manners and hope that they will put them to good use, also our sports interests and abilities. To the freshman class, we leave our dignified behavior, in the halls and the classrooms, our brain power, so that they may walk out of the assembly first next year, and also our best wishes that you may have as enjoyable a time as we have had in our four years in T. C. H. S. I, George Pumphrey, leave my ability to grow an inch every month to Miss Koch. I, Joyce Hoffman, will my “Collection of Pictures” to Helen Davis. I, Dorothy Oyer, will my friendly ways to Marilyn Koch in the hope that she will put them to use next year. I, Mary Lay, will my ability in Short- hand to Virginia, in the hope that she puts it to use next year. I, Joy Pflederer, will my tall stature to Glenna Bolliger. I, Pat Shepherdson, leave my ability to go with my first cousin to “Kraut” Koch. I, Jeanne McLaughlin, leave my quiet ways to Corky Carpenter. I, Civilia Marie Shane, leave my cur- ly hair to Mr. Workman. I, Bernadine Hillman, will my “one- man policy” to Ola Fluegel. 1, Leah Rowell, leave my tumbling ability to Ruth Davison.

Page 17 JUNIOR CLASS Being first known to the upper-class- men as the quietest class to enter T. C. H. S. for many a moon, we, the class of 1945, are now looked upon as the rip- roaring, go-get ’em class of the school. After we had so quietly and meekly entered the great white doors we elected Bob Hendershott president, and he led us safely through our first year. Upon entering as sophomores, we walked the marble stairs with heads high and intelligent looks on our faces, feeling not a bit green as we had the year before, but really, rather dignified. Frances Fluegcl was bestowed with the presidential honors after Vernon Koch had resigned the post. This was the year that started us on our money-mak- ing campaign, which has continued ever since. Entering as jolly juniors, Margaret Augustin received the honor of being president and of guiding the class thru our third and most successful high school year. Midge was ably assisted by Gene Gardner, vice president; Evel- yn Schwinn, secretary; Jack McMakin, treasurer; Miss Schneider, advisor, and of course, the rest of the class. Geraldine Shay, Eulala Norris, and Willis Rowell did not come back; Ken- neth Hoffman moved to Deer Creek dur- ing the year, and we lost Pat Shepherd- son to the senior class. This left our class with a population of a mere twen- ty-nine, but did not shatter our bubbling spirits. From the start, ours has been a year of thrills and excitement, as only a few days after school opened, we received our long-awaited class rings. We sold magazine subscriptions and cleared $151.12, gave a most successful play, “New Fires,’’which netted our ev- er-growing treasury $80.50, helped the seniors with their play by allowing them to use some of our talented actors and gave the school the major part of its athletic stars and two cheerleaders. To entertain ourselves we enjoyed several hayrides, skating parties, wein- er roasts, and parties with the seniors. We ended this top-notch year with the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet at the Jefferson hotel in Peoria. Next year we will be back with ban- ners flying even higher for the greatest of all, our senior year! SOPHOMORE CLASS Two years ago in September, 1942, 34 green freshies entered T. C. H. S. After several weeks in our new surroundings, we settled down to a normal class. The class officers for our freshman year were Bob Meyers, president; Kath- erine Hunt, vice president; Clinton Koch, treasurer, and Myra McMakin, secre- tary. Coach Schoenfeld was chosen as class advisor. When we reentered as sophomores, six boys failed to return. They were two promising basketball players, Earl Rog- ers and Jim Risinger; also Bob Hohulin, Ben Bolliger, Clarence Burk, and Irving Hundt. Velda Paine and Ednna Lou Morrison were the only girls who failed to return. James Smith moved to Pekin after starting the year. Jim Rapp, Carl Dahmm. Mildred Ingersoll and Marie Whitney entered our class this year- page 18 Class officers elected at the end of our freshman year were: Bob Meyers, presi- dent; Bob Huette, vice president; Loreen Stuber, treasurer, and Myra McMakin, secretary. Coach Schoenfeld was again chosen our class advisor. We ordered our class rings to be de- livered at the beginning of our junior year. Among the parties during the year was a chicken fry in honor of the fresh- ies; a theatre party and two skating parties with freshmen at Hill Crest rink. The sophomore girls with the help of Mrs. Schoenfeld sponsored the Athletic Banquet. We, the class of 1946, have reached the half-way point. We are looking for- ward to returning to school next year as “Jolly Juniors”. First row, left to right: Jim Rapp, Carl Getz, Junior Bright, Vernon Koch, Clinton Koch.

On August 29, 1943, 33 frightened freshies timidly entered the halls of T. C. H. S. which was to be our home for the next four years- We chose Mr. Foil as our class advisor. The following officers were elected: Paul Woerner, president: Bill Carpenter, vice president; Mary Lou Fluegel, secre- tary; Margaret Callahan, treasurer, and Kenneth Ruth, Student Council repre- sentative. We lost Velda Paine the first semes- ter, but gained Virginia Strauch during the second semester. Our class had many representatives in band and chorus, also literary and basketball talent. Our athletes are Har- old Van Buren, Lewis Woehl, Bill Gar- lish, and Kenneth Ruth. Our social life consisted of several in- formal parties. In September the sopho- mores entertained us with a chicken fry. Our first all-class party was an old fashioned hay-ride. Later we returned to the gym and played games. In March we entertained the sopho- mores with a skating party at the Hill Crest rink. A month later we held ano- ther skating party with the sophomores.

STUDENT The 1943-44 Student Council has been one of the most successful organizations of its kind in T. C. H. S. During the school term the council has many good deeds to its credit. In the annual election, Joanne Koch was chosen as president; Robert Hen- dershott, vice president; Louise Bau- man, secretary, and Ernie Aberle, treas- urer. These people have worked hard to achieve the success which their pos- itions demand. The rest of the council Second row: Miss Koch, advisor, Elwyn Stuber, Kenneth Ruth, Louise Bauman, Ernie Aberle, Robert Hendershott, Mr. Workman, advisor. COUNCIL has co-operated greatly and due to the efforts of all under the leadership of Miss Koch and Mr. Workman, they have accomplished feats of great success among which were the bond selling, sev- eral successful school parties, the Mag- ician’s show, of which the proceeds were given to the Pre-Flight class, and the very important editing of the ’44 “Echo”. The Student Council is a worthy pro- ject, and our organization has helped to make this seem even more so. Page 21 HI-CRIER STAFF Reading left to right: Ernestine Kresin, Gene Lusher, Joy Pflederer. Gardner, Miss Koch, Marilyn Koch, Elizabeth This paper was organized by the G. A. A. girls under the direction of a for- mer teacher, Miss Helleman, in 1937. This year the paper is headed by Mr. Workman, who checks the articles, and Miss Koch, who sees to it that all ar- ticles are put together and out on time. The paper is typed and mimeographed by the Typing II class. Some of the articles are Sports, Who’s Who, Happy Birthday, Office Notes, In The Service, and The Dust Pan. Various students contribute the ma- terial that goes into the paper. The last issue of the paper is usually devoted to the seniors. • THE STAFF Editor .................

The music department of T. C. H. S., headed for the past four years by N. Noble Vance, has enjoyed much activity and much success. The Tremont School Band, composed of approximately fifty grade and high school boys and girls, plays for school and community activities throughout the year. The marching unit, of 32 members entertains the spectators at basketball games with intricate drills and maneuvers. In addition to the marching band, the concert group plays overtures, light classical and operatic program material throughout the school year. The various civic organizations in the community are well supplied with musi- cal entertainment from the instrumen- tal and vocal departments of the school.

The A Cappella Choir which was or- ganized in 1937 will be remembered for years to come since it placed first in the state three years ago. This year it was composed of 38 voi- ces which all blended together beauti- fully to add another successful season to this fine organization. It was active in many social functions such as the Christmas Vesper Service, the County Meet, and the Baccalaureate Exercises. A girls’ chorus of 48 voices was organ- ized before Christmas. This chorus consisted of freshmen, sophomore, jun- ior and senior girls. They were pres- ented in the Christmas program, sing- ing a two-part cantata. Mr. Vance, the music director, is des- erving of much credit for the success of the choruses and band. All members of the music department wish to thank him for his splendid work and hope he will be back with us soon. Page 26 “NEW FIRES” Mr. Santry’s fear that his family had lost their grasp on the fundamental val- ues of life led him to undertake the bold plan of taking them to his small inher- ited farm in the Missouri Ozarks. Upon their arrival, their father announced that they must work, and consterna- tion reigned. Olive, the eldest daughter, feigned sickness in a desperate attempt to convince her father that she must be allowed to return to Chicago. Mary Marshall, a neighbor girl, visiting Phyl- lis and Billy, became ill with scarlet fever and the whole family was placed under quarantine. The result of the young doctor’s many calls was that he and Olive fell in love. Dick and his young wife, Eve, worked hard during the period of quarantine studying fruit and poultry raising. Their efforts were rewarded when Mr. Santry promised them the homestead after a three-year probationary period to determine their ability to make a success of farming. The happiness of Olive and Dr. Gray was assured when they united. “New Fires” proved a big hit when it was successfully presented by the jun- iors. • THE CAST Lucinda Andrews — Dorothy Babbitt.

Page 27 Senior Class Play “SPRING FEVER” • The day before Commencement things really began to happen! As Mrs. Spang- ler, who keeps the rooming house, said, “I never know if they’re in or out. They come and go so fast you couldn’t keep track of them if you were a paid spy.” Ed Burns turned his room into a chem- istry lab, where he experimented with a substitute for dynamite; Bic Lewis, the art student, set up his easel in the living room; and Howard Brant had to get in a zoology paper by three o’clock if he intended to graduate. By the united ef- forts of Howard’s Aunt Maude, his heart-interest, Anne Purcell, and his friends, he finally received his credit. The play was fast, furious, and funny with loud explosions now and then from Ed’s “stinkum stinktorum”. After an ex- citing day of spring fever, the play end- ed with everyone ready for the Com- mencement Ball. The presentation of “Spring Fever” by the seniors was one of the lighlights of the year.

BASEBALL The start of the baseball season found Coach Schoenfeld with 15 boys to whip into shape for a tough season ahead. Our first game found us on a long end of a 4 to 2 win over Morton. We won the next four games in a row, defeating Hopedale 12 to 0, Mackinaw 3 to 2, Del- avan 26 to 0, and Minier 4 to 2. The sixth game found us in a heated battle with Green Valley with the outcome 10 to 9 in favor of the latter. The last game of the season was with the Armington nine, and the outcome, Armington 0, Tremont 8. We finished the season with 5 wins and 2 losses, all in all a very good season. We-,hope to have the same team back for next season and if so it should help us out in giving them all plenty of trouble. • SEASON RECORD Sept. 10—Morton 2, Tremont 4.

BASKETBALL One week after the end of the base- ball season, found the boys tossing away their spikes in favor of gym shoes for in about four weeks the thrills and spills of the hardwood was about to be- gin. The squad consisted of 15 fellows: 4 freshies; 6 sophomores; 5 juniors, and no seniors, which means the same crew back again next year. The first game of the season was with Carlock. We won by a score of 33 to 21. We won the next 8 games in a row. Our next game was with an arch rival, Mackinaw. We lost 37 to 35. We finished the season with a 19 win and 10 loss re- cord, losing only to Mackinaw, Morton, Hopedale, Minier, Deer Creek, Wash- ington, San Jose, Glasford, and Pekin. The county tournament found Tre- mont right in there scrapping. We de- feated Minier and Mackinaw to move into the finals where we played Wash- ington for the championship and was defeated 42 to 29. Our league standing was second in the Tazma League, and third in the Mackinaw Valley League. With a fairly successful season behind us, we hope to see Tremont at the top of both leagues next year.

CHEER LEADERS In the front row leading the Tremont fans in some great cheering during the very successful season of 1944, the Tre- mont Cheerleaders, Frances Fluegel, Ev- elyn Schwinn, Dorothy Schwinn, Kath- ryn Hunt, and Myra McMakin, better known as the “Flashy Five,” have prov- en very conclusively that cheering does play a major part toward winning games. During the season, the girls missed not a single game, and were there at all times, at home or away, rooting and leading the fans in rollicking yells that spurred the boys on to eventual and complete victory.

Hyson — Peoria, Illinois PEKIN Illinois THE SENIOR S FAREWELL We look back over happy high school days, The days that once looked dreary, dull, and long. Now as we think of many hours of play, We see our faults; our school days end with song. The red brick house that once did grimly frown On students going there from day to day, Now with a loving, friendly gaze looks down On Seniors as they sadly turn away. 0 happy days that once we thought so drear, O many lessons, blessings in disguise, Farewell! farewell! and dearest comrades, too, We say good-bye while tears bedim our eyes We turn our thoughts and steps toward the world, To give to her the best we have in store. —A.

It seems like we just started school and here it is 1944, but before we say anymore, let us go back to when we first were ushered through the strange halls of a dear old building called Tremont Community High School. Having overcome all the intelligent difficulties of primary school, we started school in the fall of 1940, trying to learn something. Electing Ed Naffziger as our first president, our class was lead into the more intelligent things of life with plenty of time to spare. As it was the custom, the sopho- mores honored us with a weiner roast and, of course, we were expected to give a return party, which we did. And so our first year ended with many pleas- ant thoughts and memories in our minds. Having returned to school again the next fall as sophomores, Joan Blumen- schein’s friendly personality won for her the honor of being our next president. When it came to sports, our class was well represented with members on the basketball, baseball squads, also in chor- us and band. As sophomores we suf- fered the loss of four members. Having attended all the customary parties, our second term ended with the annual all- school picnic which was held at the park in Pekin. Due to Joan Blumenschein’s fine abil- ity to conduct meetings, she was again bestowed with the presidential honors for our junior year. Although the time required for our acedemic subjects was continually increasing, we, the jun- ior class, still found time for many soc- ial activities. “High Pressure Homer”, our class play, was said to be one of the best com- edies ever put on by a high school group. With the proceeds of our play, we final- ly came to that event which every class looks forward to having—the Junior- Senior Prom. With these events, anoth- er year of happiness and lifetime exper- iences came to a close. Returning at last to give and receive our final tribute, George Pumphrey was chosen as our capable senior presi- dent, and it was by his extraordinary leadership that our class experienced one of its most successful years. One ot the events that made our last year a success was the senior play, “Spring Fe- ver”, whicn was under the sponsorship of our dramatic teacher, Miss Eloise Schenider. Due to the manpower short- age in our class, several underclassmen volunteered to take part to which we are very thankful. During our four years of education, we, the class of 1944, have suffered the loss of sixteen members, out of which eleven were boys (reason for the man- power shortage). Yet despite all these losses, we struggled on, functioning more as a unit each day. And so the class experienced its remaining activit- ies, including the Junior-Senior Banquet and the annual school picnic. So in behalf of the senior class of 1944 and myself, we wish to say goodbye to dear old T. C. H. S. for the many happy days spent there. They will be gone but not forgotten. Page 50 LIBRARY The school library is located in the front of the auditorium at T. C. H. S. It is very well equipped with magazines, books and newspapers. It contains approximately 2,000 vol- umes. The number of books in the li- brary is being increased every school year. Last year 300 books were added and this year, 215. Magazines are received monthly and three daily newspapers, the “Chicago Daily News”, the “Daily Pantagraph”, and the “Christian Science Monitor”. School papers from surrounding schools are kept in the library for the students to read. The library is used extensively by the students in preparing their assignments and in making themselves better ac- quainted with the books. There are a few rules which the stu- dents must follow in order to keep the library as neat and orderly as possible. Mrs. Hinman and Miss Koch are res- ponsible for the management and good conduct in the library. They have work- ed hard during the year to put the books and magazines in their proper places. Early in the year a library club was organized for students who were inter- ested in library work. The members of the club help keep the library in order and to take charge of the desk. Meet- ings of the club are held once a month. Page 51 ¥
