A w f A f r m — f 4 4 f 5 4 4 d r 4 r i f CLASS HISTORY Way back in 1943 our class of thirty-three Freshies entered the marble halls of Tremont High School looking forward to an exciting four years.We elected Mr, Foil as our class advisor with the following officers; Paul Woerner, president; Margaret Callahan, treasurer; Kenneth Ruth, Student Council representative. 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
