It hardly seems possible that this is 1955. Why, it seems as if only yesterday we were Seniors at TCHS. By the way, Glenna, how have you and Harold been get- tinging along coaching that basket- ball team, the Chicago Stinkeroos? I hear they were last year’s champions. I’ve just finished my European con- cert tour with the Fox Opera Com- pany owned by Dick Fox and manag- ed by Alphie Schmied. On my hop from New York to London on a “Zip Zam 54,” piloted by Captain John Luick, famous transoceanic flyer, I had the pleasure of riding beside our ambassador to France, David Noe. In London I met our foreign cor- respondent with the New York Times, Frances Fluegel Pflederer. Also, I dined at one of the numerous pubs, owned and operated by Vernon Koch, who, by the way, owns several night clubs in America. Bob Hendershott and his world renowned orchestra were playing there. For my benefit he played “Crazy Rhythm”. In Paris I saw Evelyn Schwinn starring in Benson’s Follies of 1955. I stopped in at the Mademoiselle Koche Shoppe and had some very exclusive gowns designed by the fam- ous designer and owner of the Shoppe, Mademoiselle Joanne Koche. The Mademoiselle suggested I go to see Virginia Lay, hostess in the Cock- tail Lounge at the Ritz. While in Moscow, I happened to meet LeRoy Hochstettler, who is the Caterpillar Tractor Company repre- sentative there. Imagine my sur- prise when I stepped on the plane to find Wilma Moser the Stewardess to accompany me back to the United States. Upon arriving in San Fran- cisco, I was welcomed by the distin- guished Mayor, E. Eugene Gardner, who presented me with two orchids that he said were grown by Margaret Augustin, who owns “Ye Olde Swan- kee” floral shop. Having had such a strenuous trip, I stopped at Denver for a physical check-up at the Schmidt Clinic. There I received very efficient care by Vel- ma Koch, general superintendent. During my stay, Dr. Don Tippett call- ed upon me and told me of his recent- ly receiving the Nobel Prize for his discovery of a cure for cancer. While in Denver, Lilah Keller, my secretary, visited the Babbitt Beauty Salon and found the proprietress was her old schoolmate, Dorothy Babbitt. While at the Beauty Shop, Lilah learned that Marilyn Koch had re- cently purchased the Klassy K Moun- tain Resort and has been enjoying a booming business. On the way back to my headquart- ers in Chicago, I stopped at my old home town. As I alighted from my plane at Tremont Municipal Airport, the owner and operator, Earl Sauder, came to greet me. With him was Oscar Roth who was waiting to leave for Chicago to attend the Interna- tional Livestock Show. He told me he was the owner of a 500-acre farm north of town. While In Tremont, I passed the nearly completed home of Nola Stub- er, who was doing her own interior decorating, after finishing redecorat- ing the White House. Because of an appearance here in Chicago, I was able to spend only a few days in Tremont, but they brought back many memories of all our classmates I have just been tell- ing you about. While walking to my hotel, when I arrived in Chicago, I passed the Ring- ling Bros. Circus. Imagine my sur- prise when I discovered the barker was none other than my old school chum, Charles Unsicker. That same evening, after my per- formance in the Civic Opera Building Continued on Page 33 Page 13 THE ECHO 19 4 5 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When the class of 1945 entered the portals of T. C. H. S., in the autumn of 1940, we were looked upon by the upper classmen, as just another group of “pea-green freshies”. With Mr. Vance as advisor, the class was soon organized. Bob Hen- dershott had the title of “Honorable, Mr. President” bestowed upon him. He was ably assisted by Glenna Bolli- ger, vice-president; Marilyn Koch, secretary; Gene Gardner, treasurer. The first big event in our high school was the evening the Sopho- mores favored us with a wiener roast, which we returned later in the year. Numerous parties followed these. The first chapter of our high school his- tory ended with a picnic at Mineral Springs Park. We entered our sophomore year feeling not a bit green, as we had the year before; instead, we walked the marble stairs with heads high and intelligent looks on our faces. Those failing to return this year were: Jake Lohnes, Gene Brown, Rowene Callison, Jim Wadsworth, Wayne Bol- liger, and Margaret Bailey. We wel- comed two new students, Alma Hus- kinson and Geraldine Shap, both from Pekin. The presidential honors were given to Frances Fluegel, with Jack McMakin serving as vice-president; Margaret Augustin, secretary; John Luick, treasurer. Because he guided us so successfully through our first year, Mr. Vance was again elected class advisor. Our first “stab” at money-making was the sponsoring of a rummage sale to pay for the cheerleader and drum majorette uniforms. This under- taking proved very successful. Thus, the final exams and the an- nual all-school picnic brought half our high school career to a close. In the fall of 1942, we, the “jolly juniors”, returned with the glorious title of “upper-classmen”. With Miss Schneider as advisor, the following officers were elected: Margaret Aug- ustin, president; Gene Gardner, vice president; Evelyn Schwinn, secretary; Jack McMakin, treasurer. Geraldine Shay, Eulala Norris, Wil- lis Rowell, and Talbert Ruckman did not return; Kenneth Hoffman moved to Deer Creek and Alma Huskinson to Pekin during the year, and we also lost Pat Shepherdson to the senior class. Our first big excitement was the arrival of our class rings. Soon after, we started the sale of magazine sub- scriptions; later, giving a most suc- cessful play, “New Fires”. The most important event of the year was the traditional Junior-Senior Banquet, our first formal affair, held at the Jeffer- son Hotel in Peoria. Time Marches On!!! Here we are returning to TCHS as seniors, poss- essing the knowledge we thought we had as sophomores. Calvin Benson was chosen to guide us through our last and most impor- tant year. Frances Fluegel was elect- ed vice - president, while Evelyn Schwinn was again chosen for her of- fice. Wilma Moser became financial overseer. During the course of our high school years, the following peo- ple from our class were placed on the Student Council: Joanne Koch, Bob Hendershott, Velma Koch, Gene Gard- ner, and Margaret Augustin. On September 27 the class journey- ed to Bloomington where we had our pictures taken. Two members of our class, Donald Tippett and Alphie Schmied, finished their studies at the end of the first semester. Don has entered the service, while Alphie is awaiting call. We are extremely proud of our out- standing athletes who have partici- pated in baseball, basketball, and track. And so, it is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to our dear old Alma Mater, and may we prove to be as loyal as we have tried to be to our school during the past four years. Page 14 THE ECHO 19 4 5 SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of 1945 of Tremont Community High School, being of sound and intelligent minds, have gathered together our numerous tal- ents, possessions, and traits, and do hereby bequeath them in our last Will and Testament to our less fortunate colleagues.

Page 15 THE ECHO 19 4 5 Jackie Parks Frederick Rapp Loreen Stuber Wayne Yentes JUNIORS We, the class of 1946, entered T. C. H. S. with high ideals for the future. With the help of our teach- ers, we have been sucessful in most of our ventures. At our first meeting, we elected officers. They were as follows: Roy Myers, president; Katherine Hunt, vice-president; Clinton Koch, treas- urer; Myra McMakin, secretary; with Coach Schoenfeld as class advisor. In our second year, we chose Bob Myers, president; Bob Huette, vice- president; Loreen Stuber, treasurer; Myra McMakin, secretary. Coach Schoenfeld was again selected as class advisor. Earl Rodgers, Jim Risinger, Bob Hohulin, Ben Bolliger, Clarence Burk, Irving Hundt, James Smith, Velda Paine, and Edna Lou Morrison did not return as sophomores. Jim Rapp, Carl Dahm, Mildred Ingersoll, and Marie Whitney were our new mem- bers. Back in school, September, 1944, as the “Jolly Juniors,” we elected Lor- een Stuber, president; Marie Whitney, vice-president; Jackie Parks, secre- tary; Fritz Rapp, treasurer. Miss Schneider is our class advisor. Carl Dahm and Mildred Ingersoll did not return; Dean Lougee was the only new addition to our class. A few weeks after school started, we received our long awaited class rings. We broke an all time record with our magazine sales, clearing $200. Our class play, “Brother Goose” net- ted us $80. We shall end this eventful year with the traditional Junior-Senior dinner. We are looking forward to return- ing next year for our final and great- est year of all.

For the next three weeks, half of us were wandering into the math room while the other half was “raising the roof” in general science lab. Mr. Foli, our class advisor, steer- ed us through the fog of the fresh- man year. He was ably assisted by Paul Woerner, president; Bill Carpen- ter, vice-president; Mary Lou Fluegel, secretary; Mai’garet Callahan, treas- urer. Thirty of us returned in the fall as sophisticated, or “stuck-up” (take your choice) sophomores. We had lost Virginia Strauch, Ruth Davidson, and Bob Hayworth. We were very sorry to have Sonny Van Buren leave us to join the Navy. Bob Lewis en- tered our class. As Sophomores we elected Mary Lou Fluegel, president; Margaret Cal- lahan, vice-president; Betty Ellen Beyer, secretary; Betty Mae Chadock, treasurer. Mr. Wallace was chosen advisor. Four of our Sophomore boys, Ken- ny Ruth, Louis Woehl, Bill Garlish, and Bill Carpenter, contribute to school athletics Many of us took part in other outside activities, namely, band, chorus, G. A.

When elections came along, they were past that stage. After a close race with strong competition Bob Gibson was on top in more ways than one. Elsie Schaefer was elected as our trusted and efficient secretary and treasurer. There was a close race between Curtis Koch and Dick Anderson, who were both modest enough to vote for his opponent. Dick came out on top. Our vice-president, Allen Oyer, hasn’t done much this year, but we all like him and so there was no impeachment. Our financial position is not bad. We don’t spend much on parties as only two a semester are allowed and our income is good. Our class dues keep us going, and a sandwich sale we had early in the year didn’t pull us down. We have had the privilege to walk out ahead of the Juniors. Either our grades are up or the Juniors are down. Our class meetings are a “whiz.” Bob Gibson, our president, and Coach Schoenfeld, our sponsor, had a two- way conversation at the first of the year, but we are getting better all the time.

THE EC Cheer Many times during the basketball season, the basketball boys have been spurred on to victory by the Tremont fans. The enthusiasm of the fans has been due to the splendid leadership of our three cheerleaders. The lead- ers include two juniors, Myra Mc- Makin and Dorothy Schwinn, and one Senior, Evelyn Schwinn. HO 19 4 5 Leaders Evelyn Schwinn has been our cheer- leader for two previous years while the other two girls were cheerleaders last year. These girls have had much experience and they really know how to go about leading our yells. Reading, left to right: Evelyn Schwinn, Dorothy Schwinn, Myra Mc- Makin. • Page 20 ATHLETICS ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ THE ECHO 19 4 5 Basketball After a highly successful season in baseball, Coach Schoenfeld started basketball practice a few weeks later with the same boys who made up the team last year. The season started out “with a bang,” by winning the first 12 games and ended by winning a total of 20 out of 34. The “Turks” won fourth place in the County Tournament. Sixteen boys made up the squad: two freshmen, four sophomores, five juniors and five seniors; one sopho- more was lost when Harold Van Buren enlisted in the Navy. The “Turks” should have a very good team next year because they will have five juniors back with plenty of experience. The team was ably supported by the three cheerleaders: Myra McMak- in, Evelyn and Dorothy Schwinn. The season was fairly successful but we are hoping for a more success- ful one next year.

Coach Schoenfeld and the boys worked hard to attain this perfect record. The team was composed of the same members as last year: Bob Hen- dershott, C; Gene Gardner. P: Calvin Benson, 1-B; Harold Hillman, 2-B; Jack McMakin, SS; Clinton Koch, 3-B; Bob Huette, LF; John Luick, CF; Ken- neth Ruth, RF; Harold Strunk and El- wyn Stuber, utility. Missing fi’om last year’s team was Kenneth Hoffman, who moved to Deer Creek. By defeating every team in the league, we became the Corn Belt League Champions. Although six regulars will be lost by graduation, there arc enough good prospects for next year that we will have a very good team. The scores for the season of 1944 are as follows: San Jose 6: Tremont 9. Washburn 6; Tremont 7. Mackinaw 1; Tremont 16. Minier 3; Tremont 15. Mackinaw 6; Tremont 22. Hopedale 3; Tremont 20.

Page 24 A C T II V II T II E THE ECHO 19 4 5 STUDENT COUNCIL The 1944-45 Student Council of T. C. H. S. has been an outstanding organization of the year. Under the faithful leadership of both Miss Koch and Mr. Workman and the following officers: president, Joanne Koch; vice- president, Marilyn Getz; secretary, Velma Koch; treasurer, Bob Hender- shott, this organization has been able to function. During the year the most successful project was the selling of War Stamps. Because of the determined efforts of the council members our sales proved to be almost one hundred per cent. A new idea was presented by the Student Council. They sponsored an all-school dinner the day before the Christmas Holidays. The gym was decorated very attractively. Reverend Young of Peoria gave an interesting talk after the dinner. We hope that it will develop into an annual tradi- tion at T. C. H. S. Several of the schools in this local- ity, namely: Morton and Delavan, ex- changed assembly programs. This was not altogether a Student Council project but in a way we were respons- ible for it. The council also sponsor- ed other programs for our own assem- bly, several school parties, and a danc- ing teacher who gave five lessons to the entire student body. As usual, the Student Council, with the help of several persons from the student body, were responsible for the editing of the “1945 Echo”. Members of the council, who so de- sired, went to the District Student Council Convention at Pekin.

Page 31 THE ECHO 19 4 5 Junior Class Play “BROTHER GOOSE The cast: Jeff, Robert Myers; Carol, Marilyn Getz; Wes, Gale Boliiger; Hyacinth, Bonnilyn Wilkey; Helen, Helen Davis; Peggy, Phyllis Boliiger; Eve, Dorothy Schwinn; Sarah, Lois Babbitt; Lenore, Jackie Parks; Mrs. Trimmer, Ruth Madsen; Truck Driver, Frederick Rapp. On Nov. 3, 1944, the junior class presented a comedy play, “Brother Goose”, under the direction of Miss Schneider. Robert Myers played op- posite Phyllis Boliiger in the leading roles. As Jeff, a personable young man of about twenty-five, he is tied down with the responsibility of rear- ing his younger sister and brother. The results were rather hectic. Bonnilyn furnished most of the amusement in her role as Hyacinth. David Beutel was stage manager, and Myra McMakin was in charge of prompting. The programs were made by Betty Winzeler, Betty Huette, Jun- ior Bright, and Robert Suchert. Ben Hodgson and Willard Hazelman sup- ervised the lighting and Loreen Stu- ber took charge of the tickets. The hand properties were supplied by Marie Whitney and the stage proper- ties by Harold Strunk, Ola Fluegel, and Bob Huette. Elwyn Stuber, Carl Getz, Clinton Koch, Charles Berry, Jim Rapp, and Wayne Yentes were responsible for the excellent setting. A large and enthusiastic audience attended. The gate receipts were $133. We are sure that everyone enjoyed it because it was an understandable and fast-moving play. Page 32 THE ECHO 19 4 5 Senior Class Play “THE YELLOW SHADOW” The cast: Nell Travis, Frances Fluegel; Gil- bert Wright, Earl Sauder; Alice Per- kins, Marilyn Koch; Mildred Marvin, Margaret Augustin; Hazel Wayne, Jo- anne Koch; Jed Travis, John Luick; Herbert Marvin, Vernon Koch; Sheriff Macklin, Bob Hendershott; J. Steel, Glenna Bolliger; Wong Song, Harold Hillman; Gerald Lloyd, Charles Un- sicker. The evening that Mildred Marvin, with her two friends, Alice and Hazel, and the attorney, Mr. Wright, arrived at Viewcrest Lodge, the estate of Maxwell Marvin, mysterious incidents occur which Hazel calls the Yellow Shadow. Much to Mildred’s surprise she finds her brother, Herbert there. For example, the discovery of a dead man in the living room, the strange disappearance of Mildred while in the presence of Sheriff Macklin, and the appearance of peculiar signs add to the mystery and interest of the play. Before the final curtain descends, Jed and Nell, the mysterious house- keepers turn out to be an F. B. I. agent and his wife. Herbert and Gerald Lloyd, the dead man, are newspaper reporters, while Gilbert Wright and Wong Song are identified as Nazi and Japanese spies. Alice, Mildred, Hazel, the comical sheriff, and the coroner, all add to the mystery and humor of a grand plot. CLASS PROPHECY Continued from Page 13 Jack McMakin came backstage. We had a friendly chat, during which time he told me he had played short- stop for the Chicago Cubs that sea- son and had a batting average of 1,000. He, also, told me that Ina Pap- enhause was the star skater in the Ice Follies this year, succeeding Sonja Heine. Well, Glenna, I hope this letter brings back as many happy memories as I have had the last few months by coming in contact with several of our classmates of TCHS.

Numerals were the first awards given this year to the junior and sen- ior members for the points they earn- ed since they were freshmen.
