During the first semester we lost Velda Paine but gained Virginia Strauch in the second semester. Our class had many representatives in band and chorus and we also had literary and athletic talent. We were welcomed to T.C.H.S. by the Sophomores, who gave us a chicken fry. Throughout the year we enjoyed several other parties and social functions. Thirty of us returned in the fall as sophisticated or stuck-up” sopho- mores, We had lost Virginia Strauch, Ruth Davidson, and Bob Heyworth,During the year, Harold Van Buren left us to Join the Navy and Bob Lewis entered our class. As sophomores we elected Mary Lou Fluegel, president; Betty Ellen Beyer, secretary; Betty Mae Chadock,treasurer We chose Marilyn Pflederer and Kenneth Ruth as our Student Council represent- atives and Mr.Wallace as class advisoa Many of us took part in outside activ- ities, namely, band, chorus,G. A, A., athletics, and assembly programs. The next year, returning as Jolly Juniors, we honored Margaret Callahan with the office of president. The other officers were as follows; Paul Woerner, vice-president;Betty Chadock, secretary; Betty Beyer, treasurer; and Miss Schneider, class advisor. We lost Bill Carpenter, Laura Ingersoll, Lewis Woehl,Don Marshall and Peggy Cohenour, Our first thrill of the year wds the arrival of our class rings. From the sale of magazines in the fall, we made a profit of $191,25, and in Nov- ember we revealed our talent in acting by giving the play, Don't Take My Penny, This added $98,19 to our treasury. Our last big event of the year took place on the seventeenth of May when we honored the Seniors with a banquet at the Hotel Jefferson in Peoria. Bill Garlish and Kenneth Ruth were our outstanding athletes,being on both the basketball and baseball teams,and Mary Lou Fluegel was one of the cheer- leaders. Marilyn Pflederer received first place awards in music contests while Betty Beyer placed first in both dramatics and poetry. The class of 1947 began their last year with only twenty-four dignified Seniors, Mary Lou Fluegel, Pat Hinman, and Almeda Rowell did not return, but we gained Harry Hackney and Louis Moore. Our officers for the year were Bill Garlish, president; Margaret Callahan,vice-president;Betty Chadock, secretary;and Lois Lay,treasurer, with Mr, Stone as our advisor. The Student Council representatives were Marilyn Pflederer, Betty Beyer, Kenneth Ruth, and Paul Woerner. Three of our Senior girls, Betty Beyer, Margaret Callahan, and Betty Chadock were cheerleaders. Several of our boys were active in basketball, football, baseball, track and wrestling. After the first few weeks of school, we Journeyed to Bloomington to have our graduation pictures taken. We also toured the Pantagraph Building and visited Radio Station WJBC. Plans have been made for the Senior Play on April 25, 1947, and the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 9, 1947, With sad hearts but happy memories we leave our dear old Alma Mater,real- izing that we probably have spent the four happiest years of our lives therew W r f 4 r A 7 4 4 4 r 4 A r JZ r = r A 5 f f f f A 4 A = r A r 4 C‘ r r 4 r 4 d 7 4 : : -- 0 Hi 4 0 0 0 0 f 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 A 0 0 m 0 0 0 m 0 f A CLASS PROPHECY One oright sprir.g afternoon in May, I960, Mrs. Bob Hendershott, the former Betty Beyer, stage and screen star, entertained Mrs. Paul Koch, remembered as Carol Sauder, creator of Goony the Goat, successor of Mickey Mouse; Mrs. Paul Woerner, the former Betty Chadock, mother of the world’s third set of quintuplets— Jakie, Jimmie, Jackie, Johnnie, and Fitzgerald; and Mrs. Paul Springer, the famed coloratura soprano, Dorothy Ropp, in a sweet game of poker. You will probably remember Paul Woerner as the famous Cowhee (combination of wheat and corn) King. Let us listen in to some of their chatter about old classmates in Tremont High School. Did you hear that Henry 3erry is a mechanic, hav- ing gained his experience working on the old Model A? Two girls are making successful careers as surgical nurses—Nelde Litwiller and Mary Beutel. Just then the doorbell rings. A telegram from the Keller-Lay Dating Bureau announces that it has success- fully provided Bill Manville Garlish with his tenth wife. Good luck this time, Bill! This brings forth a new gush of gossip. Why we thought he was seriously courting the Irish screen beauty, Margaret Callahan, who re- ceived her start as a Powers Model. The party is momentarily inter- rupted by a telephone call. Marilyn Pflederer,concert artist and teacher, is on the wire from New York—seeking information about the Polio Benefit Concert she is doing with Dorothy Ropp Springer. Marilyn’s protege, Kenny Ruth, whom she also helped throughout high school, will conduct the orchestra. A newspaper clipping brought by Dorothy Springer tells the success of Ray Wells and Herbert Knapp in bringing back alive a ssvage woman from the Wild Borneo jungles for Gerald Koch’s circus. Gerald, by the way, is America’s greetest clown, much beloved by all children. The sport’s world has also bene- fited from the Class of 1947. Alvin Papenhause, once captain of the great Tremont Turks, is now an All-Star Pro-football player. Bud Moore, although a great favorite with his lady golf students, is still a happy bachelor. In his spare time he works as a truant officer for Tremont High School. The champion mat-men is Den Hodgson, successor to The Angel.” We have heard that Clifford Schweigert, Wall Street millionaire, is buying a herd of Brown Swiss cattle from Paul Luft,renowned cattle breeder. Harry Hackney, husband of Carol Hasty, is a teacher of chemistry in the college where Wilford Williams successfully received his Master of Science Degree in one month. The party is broken up when Paul Woerner anxiously calls his wife to say that Fitzgerald is lost in the cowhee field. Of course you've heard Betty Mae’s classic crack, 'I’m so cold my goose- pimples are poking holes In my socks I Bill Garlish was asked how he liked school. Oh, just fine, Bill replied. ‘I've learned a lot. Everything not included during the year was covered in the final exams. PO-EM I do not aim For wealth or fame, I’ve other hopes than that. I long to buy Before I die Just one becoming hat ] Dopey Koch’s definition of lipstick: Something that adds color and flavor to my favorite indoor sport. ? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 r 0 0 0 0 0 0 } 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CLAS5 WILL We, the Class of 1947, of Tremont Community High School,and of the state of Illinois, being of sound mind, do hereby make our last will and testi- mony to distribute our many good qualities to the less fortunate ones following us.

Stone, and the fol- lowing staff of officers: President, Marilyn Pflederer; Vice President, Betty E. Beyer; Secretary, Vera Moser; and Treasurer, Paul Woerner. In November our entire Council attended the District Conference at Kewanee. We had the honor of having Betty E. Beyer serve as chairman of the Resolutions Committee of which Mr. Stone was advisor. At the holiday and spring dances sponsored by the Junior Women's Club, our Council had charge of the hat and coat check and the refreshments stand. We also sold popcorn at the November bazaar. Cake raffles were conducted at two basketball games which added over forty dollars to our treasury. After the last home game, we held a dance for our students and the visiting team. Under the direction of our Coun- cil assembly programs were exchanged with Morton, Delavan, and Mackinaw. We also presented several vocational speakers—a minister, doctor, dentist, nurse, industrialist, and agricultura- list—to the student body. Seven movies consisting of comedy, mystery, drama, history, and Wild Western— were shown each month. Among our various projects was the Junior Red Cross. At Christnan- time we filled twenty-five gift boxes to be sent to the European children. An all-school holiday party and gift exchange was held at Christmas. This year, as in previous ones, we have again sponsored the editing of our yearbook, ’’The Echo.” The crowning ooint of our efforts, however, was the All-American All-Star faculty basketball game. This fine professional team played one of the intra-mural quintets. The audience received some fine entertainment and our treasury received the added boost of one hundred nine dollars and twenty- five cents. Our many deeds and efforts cul- minated in the attendance of each of our representatives at tne State Con- vention held at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago on March 28 and 29. Many excellent Ideas were received; we are looking forward to more successes next year. r s 4 4 4 T 4 d T d 4 4 4 a 4 A 7 4 4 $ 4 4 d r A r f 4 j r 0 0 4 4 s H A --1 f 4 7 4 4 4 4 XXJVX XTfc 'mi,.. xX.
