When Mr. Workman became our guiding influence in the fall of 1943, several new programs were success- fully worked into our schedule. Be- cause it was always Mr. Workman’s policy to aid in the betterment of each student, our school has progressed by “leaps and bounds.” We shall long remember him, not only as a principal, but also as a be- loved friend and advisor.

It seems as though we have just entered dear old T.C.H.S. as green freshies, but we have completed our course and are now supposedly edu- cated scholars. As we entered in ’43, we weren’t master minds and aren’t now, but we had a “swell” time trying to reach that goal. As a matter of custom we quickly called a class meeting and organized ourselves. We elected class officers which were as follows: President, Bob Myers; vice president, Katherine Hunt; treasurer, Clinton Koch; and secretary, Myra McMakin. Coach Schoenfeld was elected as our class advisor. It took us the entire year to become accustomed to the ways of high school life, but the sophomores kindly invited us to a wiener roast, thus making us feel as though we weren’t out of place. We weathered our first year very suc- cessfully, contributing to the baseball, basketball, and track teams, as well as literary and musical activities. Returning to school as sophomores, we started a new adventure, and due to Bob Myers’ ability to conduct class meetings successfully, we gave him the honor of being president for a second term. Bob Huette was elected vice pres- ident; Loreen Stuber, treasurer; Myra McMakin, secretary; and Coach Schoen- feld was again chosen class advisor. With regret we lost nine of our for- mer classmates. They were Earl Rod- gers, Jim Risinger, Bob Hohulin, Ben Bolliger, Clarence Burk, James Smith, Irving Hundt, Velda Paine, and Edna Lou Morrison. On the other hand, we gained five new classmates, who were Jim Rapp, Wayne Yentes. Carl Dahmn, Mildred Ingersoll, and Marie Whitney. Parties and other festivities comprised the social life of our class during our sophomore year. We felt as though we were seasoned veterans as we again entered the doors of our Alma Mater to start our junior year. Mildred Ingersoll and Carl Dahmn did not return, and Dean Lougee was a new member of our class. Our class of- ficers were, Loreen Stuber, president; Marie Whitney, vice president; Jackie Parks, secretary; and Fritz Rapp, treas- urer. Miss Schneider was our class ad- visor. As “Jolly Juniors,” we were in drastic need of funds. To bolster our financial situation, we contracted and sold mag- azine subscriptions on a commission, by which we cleared $200. Later in the fall we presented “Brother Goose,” our first play, on which we cleared a suitable sum. Things went rather smoothly all win- ter, but in the spring we turned our ef- forts toward the preparation of the Jun- ior-Senior banquet. We appointed com- mittees which worked hard toward this event. The banquet was held in honor of the seniors in the Pere Marquette hotel. It was an event which will long be remembered by everyone who attended. Last, but not least, we received our long- awaited class rings, which we proudly exhibited. Returning to T.C.H.S after a summer of good times we again turned our heavy heads toward the printed pages with the hope of graduating in the spring. We chose Gale Bolliger to lead us through our final year. Assisting him were Harold Strunk as vice president; Ruth Madsen as secretary; and Freder- ick Rapp as treasurer.

From early in the morn ’till late in the afternoon We sat in stuffy class rooms ’till the day of our doom. We pondered and studied with great reliance English, Math., and a little Science. Such a studious class you never did see, We’ve spent hours of time on American History. Diabolical and fiendish, Will the job be in our looks, When we burn the last one copy of our many High School books? Now that our school days are really over, And our task is almost through May we be long remembered For the things we strived to do.

Page 13 • Historia De Clase Menos Antiquo JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Three years ago, 33 meek freshmen entered the doors of T. C. H. S. Paul Woerner capably saw us through our first year. The next year we returned as intelligent sophomores, and Mary Lou Fluegel was honored with the office of president. The class of 1947 started their junior year with Margaret Callahan, president; Paul Woerner, vice president; Betty Chadock, secretary; Betty Beyer, treas- urer, and Miss Schneider, class advisor. Bill Carpenter, Bob Heyworth, Harold Van Buren, and Ruth Davison failed to return. During the year we unfortunate- ly lost Lewis Woehl, Don Marshall, Lola McCoy, Laura Ingersol, and Peggy Co- henour. It has been a year that no junior will ever forget. Our first thrill was the ar- rival of our class rings. The sale of mag- azines in the fall started our treasury to grow. We made a profit of $191.25. In November we revealed our talent in act- ing, giving the play, “Don’t Take My Penny.” This added $98.19 to our treas- ury. Bill Garlish and Kenneth Ruth were juniors on the basketball and baseball teams, and Mary Lou Fluegel was one of our cheerleaders. Marilyn Pflederer re- ceived first place awards in music con- tests while Betty Beyer placed first in dramatics and poetry. May seventeenth was our last big event of the year. That was the Junior- Senior Banquet at the Hotel Jefferson in Peoria. We are looking forward to next year, as it is the last year the class of 1947 will spend at T.C.H.S. BERNARD F.

Page 15 • Hombres SOPHOMORE HISTORY On a hot Monday morning on August 31, 1944, thirty “pea-green” freshmen were eager to begin their first year in T. C. H. S. As freshmen we elected Bob Gibson, president; Allen Oyer, vice president; Elsie Schaefer, secretary-treasurer; Dick Anderson, as our worthy Student Coun- cil representative. Coach Schoenfeld, our advisor, helped us steer our way through many troubles. When we became more acquainted with the school and its surroundings, we worked our way up to the place where we walked out of the assembly second. In the fall twenty-five of us re-enter- ed as sophisticated sophomores. At our first class meeting we elected Eugene McCoy, president; Allen Oyer, vice president; Carol Koch, secretary; Louise Huette, treasurer; and Mr. Schreiber as our advisor, Dick Anderson and Vera Moser were chosen as our Stu- dent Council members. Our class meet- ings were quite different from the fresh- man year. Now everyone talks “all the time,” and last year no one said a word. We are fortunate to have many sopho- mores participating in school activities, as band, chorus, G. A. A., sports, glee clubs, and the swing band.

When we had our class election, Dwayne Stuber came out on top as our class president; Gale Barton, vice presi- dent; and Joan Cotton, secretary. Merla Hicks was chosen as our trustful treas- urer. For our class sponsor we had Coach Ray Wolf. The sophomores treated us to a hay- rack party early in the year. We return- ed this with a wiener roast by the river. The second semester we had a skating party at the Hillcrest Rink. Toward the end of the year, we had a sandwich sale to help out our financial standing. During the first semester, Jim and Phyllis Van Buren moved away. Joan Heacock and Virgil Robison joined our class in the second semester. We are honored to have boys from our class represented in every phase of athletics. We have members in band, chorus, and glee clubs. We also have a freshman sextet composed of Kitty Chadock, Thelma Babbitt, Donna Belle Hendershott, Merla Hicks, Keith Toep- fer, and Donald Nieukirk. Our class meetings are pretty quiet, and the vice president had to conduct one meeting due to the absence of the president. Front Row. left to right- Alvin Beutel.

They were Marilyn Getz, Phyllis Bolliger, and Mary Lou Fluegel. These girls did a very good job leading the fans in cheers to lead the boys on to victory. After some hard practice they were able to add stunts to the yells which always help. Since four of these girls were seniors, several junior girls practiced with them so that they might gain some helpful hints and ideas need- ed in cheerleading. TRACK AND WRESTLING Our coach introduced a brand new sport this winter. Wrestling was accept- ed very enthusiastically by the boys. We had an intramural wrestling match as well as meets with Pekin, Ke- wanee, and Peoria Manual. The matmen did very well considering the odds they were against. The coming years will find wrestling a major sport in this high school, Alvin Beutel, Ben Hodgson, and Floyd Stuber won a sufficient number of matches to quality for letters. No one hears much about the track team, but we have one and they’re real- ly burning up the cinders. We haven’t won a meet this year, but keep your eyes on this team. Ray Wells, Jim Pflederer, Bob Gibson, and Wilbur Giff- horn have done quite well in their first year of competition. Giffhorn finished second in the mile at the County Meet and Bob was fifth in the low hurdles. Left to right: Marilyn Getz, Phyllis Bolliger, Dorothy Schwinn, Myra McMakin, Mary L. Flugel Page 21 • Juegos |Sports] BASKETBALL As soon as the baseball bats were put away, Coach Wolf asked for a large group to come to basketball practice. The race for the “first ten” suits had begun. Here and there you could hear fellows talking about their knee burns, sprained ankles, and who were going to make the first ten. The varsity squad was composed of 6 seniors, 2 juniors, and 2 sophomores. Most of the games were nip and tuck all the way through, thus keeping the crowd on their feet a large share of the time. Our second team was strictly a Fresh- Soph Squad. They also scheduled games on their own account. We’re looking ahead to this squad in the coming years. The season wound up with 10 wins and 16 losses plus lots of memories. The Varsity Schedule (checked conference games) was as follows: Visitors Home Team Armington 25 28 Princeville 34 . 36 Green Valley 35 36 Minier 38 24 San Jose 61 ... 29 Spaulding 47 32 Deer Creek 23 ... 43 Hopedale 42 51 Delavan 34 44 Metamora 43 27 San Jose 60 43 Washington 39 29 Morton 28 27 Roanoke 38 39 Minier 47 33 Princeville 32 45 Mackinaw 42 . 22 Delavan 34 33 Minier 62 30 Green Valley 48 46 Armington 33 46 Hopedale 54 56 Delavan 37 36 Morton 41 .. 40 Deer Creek 52 46 Pekin 72 32 Front Row. left to right: Elwyn Stuber, Harold Strunk, Clinton Koch, James Strunk, Bill Garlish, Second Row: Jim Rapp, Mgr., Gale Bolliger, Bob Gibson, Kenny Ruth, Bob Huette, Bud Fey, Coach Wolf. • Page 22 Juegos [Sports] BASEBALL Tremont was again represented in the fall baseball league and went into the championship game with an undefeated record. Mackinaw defeated the Turks after trailing for six innings, Tremont, as runners-up, laid away their spikes until the balmy days of spring when spring baseball was an added feature of our expanding sports program. During the season games were sched- uled with all of the top high schools of Central Illinois. While this “big time” competition has cut sharply into our victory column, the benefits to be de- rived from playing the best the larger schools have to offer, are helping to build confidence and improve the play of our athletes. From now on they’ll all look alike to the Turks. At present Tre- mont has been beaten by all the Peoria schools but holds victories over East Peoria and University High of Normal. SCHEDULE The fall schedule was as follows: Armington 7; Tremont 9, Hopedale 5; Tremont 15. Delavan 2; Tremont 5. Minier 2; Tremont 7. Green Valley 8:. Tremont 21. Mackinaw 8; Tremont 7.

Pa� e 23 • Muchdchas Atleticas The Girls’ Athletic Association, un- der the supervision of Mrs. Hinman, has become more active during the second year of organization. The profit made on the all-school bunco party of March 15, was $13.54. A dance is being planned to be held in the spring. When the G. A. A. participated in the state 1946 Telegraphic Basket-shooting Tournament, it was proved that T. C. H. S. has some girls, as well as boys, who are athletically inclined. We were plac- ed in the third district because of the size of our school. We hope to receive one of the banners awarded to the three state winners or one of the three award- ed to each district. A ping pong tournament, hikes, stunts, basketball, and baseball have helped us financially, so that now most of the juniors and seniors have numerals ordered and several seniors have letters on the way. The officers elected for this year were the following: Ruth Madsen, presi- dent; Phyllis Bolliger, vice president; Mary Lou Fluegel, secretary; Marilyn Getz, treasurer; Margaret Callahan, re- porter; Betty Ellen Beyer, director; Mar- ilyn Pflederer, accompanist. • Page 24 Alumnos Concilio STUDENT COUNCIL Perhaps one of the most outstanding organizations of this year is the 1945- 1946 Student Council, this being the fifth year that the Council has helped to direct the policies of our school. Un- der the expert and enlightened leader- ship of Miss Koch and Mr. Workman, our advisors, and the following officers: Bob Myers, president; Mary Lou Flue- gel, vice president; Marilyn Pflederer, secretary; Kenny Ruth, treasurer; the council has been able to realize most of its goals. During the year several successful projects were introduced. Milk was sold to those students who brought their lunch; a turkey raffle was sponsored as a means of making money; and a danc- ing teacher gave lessons to the entire student body. Our annual Christmas party was again the “event” of the year. A movie, “Swiss Family Robinson,” and a matinee dance were the main features for the afternoon. Interesting exchange assembly pro- grams were given by Morton, Delavan, and Mackinaw. This project not only provided entertainment, but it also aid- ed in creating a better spirit with these rival schools. The Student Council, with the help of other members of the student body, were again responsible for the editing of the “1946 Echo.” Two highlights of the year were the District Student Council Convention at Lanphier High in Springfield on Novem- ber 4, and the 12th Annual State Con- vention at the Hotel Pere Marquette in Peoria on May 12 and 13.

We had additional members in other sections and also a regular person to play the bells. Before this, one of the drum players would play when the bells were needed. During the basketball season the “Pep” band was kept busy preparing marches for between games. After the games were over, we began playing overtures and marches for the district contest.

This year it was composed of sixteen voices, which were carefully selected by Mr. Schreiber, our director.

S. headed by Norman Schreiber, has elect- ed members who serve on the Organ- izational Music Council, better known as O. M. C. Each division of the music department elects representatives to this council. This year has marked one of out- standing achievement and progress for the music department. Under the cap- able direction of Mr. Schreiber several new musical groups were innovated. Many of the boys of T. C. H. S., being interested in choral work, organized a Boys’ Glee Club. This club has made several successful public appearances. A Girls’ Glee Club was also organized. Both the Girls’ Glee Club and a sextette, composed entirely of freshmen, won second ratings at the District Contest in Peoria. For the sole purpose of bringing en- joyment to those who appreciate swing music, a swing band was formed. Hav- ing appeared in public recital, the mem- bers feel better able to understand the work which their favorite swing artists have to endure. • Pago 32 Reading left to right: Beverly Knapp, Darlene Hampton, Thel- ma Babbitt, Donna Belle Hendershott, Kitty Chadock.

S. presented a three-act com- edy, “Don’t Take My Penny,” to a large and responsive audience. The story centered around the Prin- gles, a typical American family. Penny, the movie-struck young teen-ager of the family, wanted to be an actress, but her boy friend, Kerry, was more interested in tennis. Their escapades kept the audience in a laughing mood throughout the play. THE CAST The cast was as follows: Caleb Pringle, an absent-minded fath- er .......................

The play was based on the ballad, “Annie Laurie,” written by William Douglas and set to music by Lady Scott. The three acts took place at Maxwel- ton Castle, Scotland, and the colorful costumes were in keeping with this set- ting. Annie, who was in love with Sir Douglas, was to marry Lord Ferguson at her father’s command, for there had been a feud between the Douglas family and the Lauries for generations. Before the wedding could take place, however, the Crimean War broke out, and both lovers enlisted. Sir Douglas was believed dead, but he returned two years later in time to stop Annie’s marriage to Lord Ferguson and give a happy ending to the play. Miss Schneider, who so capably direct- ed the play, chose the cast as follows: Sir Robert Laurie ................. Bob Myers Annie Laurie............. Marilyn Getz Jeanie Mac Laren Phyllis Bolliger Lord Ferguson Gale Bolliger Lady Carlyle ....... Bonnilyn Wilkey Sir William Douglas .... Elwyn Stuber Lord Donald Gregory .... Jerry Bright Lady Jane Scott ...... Dorothy Schwinn Lady Bruce ........... Betty Winzeler Lord Bruce ........... Frederick Rapp Reverend Wallace......... Bob Suchert Mither Mac Kintosh .......

David Beutel HISTORIA DE CLASE ANTIGUO Senior Class History Continued from Page 9 chosen as our class advisor. We were sorry to lose five of our classmates: Carl Getz, Dean Lougee, Jackie Parks, Wayne Yentes, and Marie Whitney, but were glad to have Bud Fey with us as a new classmate. After the first few weeks of school, we journeyed to Bloomington to have our graduation pictures taken. We also toured the Pantagraph building, Wesley- an University, and the entire town. In the spring of this year we presented our senior play, “Annie Laurie,” which fur- nished a good time for everyone. This brings us up to the Junior-Sen- ior Banquet, which was held in the Jef- ferson Ballroom at Peoria on May 17, and followed by Commencement on May 30. Now that we are leaving, we look back on the many small incidents which added so much to our pleasure. Perhaps we didn’t study as industriously as we should have, although we believe that we have acquired a broad education. In parting, we wish to say good-bye to T. C. H. S., and may we long remember the many good times we have had there.

An addition to the library was the completion of a set of fifty books entitled the “Chronicles of Amer- ican History.” Another, was the bound volumes of magazines. Issues from the years 1939-1945 of the Reader’s Digest, Newsweek, Travel, and the National Geographic were bound. These volumes of the current events of recent years should be of great value to students in coming years. Sixteen girls served as librarians throughout the year. This Library Club included Myra McMakin, Ola Fluegel, Betty Huette, Betty Winzeler, Margaret Callahan, Mary Lou Fluegel, Betty Bey- er, Betty Chadock, Joan Cotton, Donna Fox, Pat Hinman, Elsie Schaefer, Louise Huette, Carol Koch, Carol Sauder, and Vera Moser. During the school year the club met once each month in order to keep the library functioning and to check on books that were missing. When a shipment of new books arrived, the girls would assist in preparing them for circulation.

The students of Tremont High School should be proud of the collection of books that have been placed at their disposal. Last summer through the ef- forts of Miss Koch and Mrs. Hinman the library was completely re catalogued for the convenience of the teachers, librarians, and students. This year one hundred new books were purchased. They cover many fields of literature, such as: fiction, Fotografia [Photographs] 1, 3, 4, Our Wrestlers; 2, Girls take calisthenics; 5, Senior Class; 6, Junior Class.

Mrs. Me Makin has just finished tucking in all seven of her ardent little ones. She now enters the living room to turn on her favorite radio program. As we join her we hear: Huba! Huba! Ding! Ding! Bo- ing! This is station T-O-N-Y, Tremont, Illinois, owned and operated by W. G. Bolliger. The time is now twenty o’clock P. M., by Fey’s Windless Watches. “Buy a Fey and be late everyday!’’ This is your master of ceremonies, Gerald Bright, introducing the famous Fred Rapp’s KNOW-EVERYTHING Program. But first here’s a transcribed announce- ment: Moo-Moo-Moo! Buy Koch’s milk, Buy Koch’s milk, to keep your skin soft as silk. It will keep you trim! It will keep you slim! Buy Koch’s milk for Vim-Vim- Vim! Now for your gossip hour. Take it away, Fred. “Good evening, all you fellow gossip- ers! On the way to the studio who should I see walking in the exclusive Berry- Makers’ Club, owned by Charles F. Ber- ry, but Bonnilyn Wilkey on the arm of Robert John Huette. Miss Wilkey is spending the week-end in Tremont away from her duties as kindergarten advisor in the Dillonian Northside Primary School, located at Dillon, a suburb of Tremont. Her escort is the manager of the Huette’s Hitters and Missers, Tre- Clase Antiquo mont’s famous non-star ball team. You should see these boys in their new pink and blue misfits. They certainly are a knockout. Jim Rapp, who received his training at T.C.H.S., is their famous bat boy. I also met “Mariland” Getz coming out of the Babbitt Beauty Salon with a hair style exclusive by Babbitt. Miss Helen Davis was seen conversing with Charles B. Hodgson over a cup of tea at Winzeler’s Tea Shop about her new Dress Shoppe he is constructing. Some of the more prominent members of the P.F.A., who are in town attending the annual banquet and convention of the Present Farmers of America, are: David Beutel, Willard Hazelman, and Harold Strunk, president. Phyllis Bolliger and Dorothy Schwinn were seen boarding a plane for London. Phyllis will attend the Olympic Games and Dorothy will further her studies in English. They met their old friend, Myra McMakin, who is the stewardess for the Stuber-Myers Airline. Skip is president of the airline and Mike is pilot. Dr. Rob- ert Suchert was also making this flight, but he will go on to Germany to perform a serious operation. His private secre- tary, Betty Lou Huette, is accompanying him. One last item on the program tonight. During the trip to New York, taken re- cently by the Tremont Home Economics Class, which is under the direction of Loreen Stuber, who sponsored the event, the class was fortunate to secure tickets to a program, starring Ruth Madsen and her all-girl orchestra. Time is running short and so that’s all the news for tonight. See you all next week, same time, same station. Your’s truly, Fritz.” This is Gerry Bright turning the sta- tion over to another network. ‘Good- night’.’” So Ola now turns off the radio and turns to her mending. • Page 8 Fotografia [Photographs] I. 2, 3, Biology Field Trips; 4, King and Queen of Junior-Senior Banquet, Myra and Elwyn; 5, Betty Chadock; 6, Gene Cooper; 7, Henry Berry; 8, Mr. Wolf, Coach; 9, Donna Fox; 10, Thelma Babbitt; II, Beverly Knapp; 12, Wayne Riddle; 13, Merla Hicks; 14, Physical Ed.
