MARILYNN root KAY RUBART Cj BYRON SMITH | LEONA SUNDERLAND • HAROLD THOMAS LEN JUNE THOMAS V PRANK WILHELM DOROTHY THOMPSON v DORO' THY WILLIAMS FORREST WARDELL ANNABELLE WISE Junior Class History Tbs Junior Class stepped into T, C. H. 3„ with one of the largest enrollments ever recorded seventy-eight students ha i.ng registered in the fall of 1941. The- class officers who were elected later in the fall were5President, Lowell Lewis;Vice-President,Annabelle McGuire; Searetary-Treasurer, Wanda Meyer; and Student Council Representative,Helen Hilllgose. As our class advisers for the year,we chose Miss Dear and Miss Frantz. A picnic at Ervin Park highlighted our years's activities. The. first twelve weeks of our Sophomore year were somewhat trying on account of the fact that we had so many different teachcrs-seven in all -to fill the vacancies caused by illness and resignation. This certainly was some kind of a record. Our class enrollment dropped to sixty-six this year. Our- class officers were: President, Bob Bundy Vice- President, Annabelle McGuire; Secretary- Treasurer, Rosemary Davies, and Student Council Representative, Ruth Jolley, Our advisers were Mrs. Flack and Mr. Doolittle. At the close of this, our Junior year, there remain but fifty-four of the once proud seventy-eight that registered our Freshman year. The officers this year have been: President, Bob Harlan; Vice-President, Ray Lee Allen; Secretary-Treasurer, Annabelle McGuire; Student Council Representative, Jim Winn. Mrs. Muzzy and Mr.Doolittle are our class advisers. Altogether, the Junior class has been well represented in sports and other activities. This year our annual Junior Class Play, directed by Miss Macy,was Good Night,Ladies. It was presented the night of December 4. Tna biggest event of the year will be the JUnicr-Senior Reception which is scheduled lor Mhy 21. We, the members of the Junior class, are indeed sorry to say that only one more y-ar remains for us at T. C. H„ S. However, we are truly pleased at the number of classmates who are still with us,expanding the scope of their learning 1m order to become more successful American citizens in the near future. SOPHOMORE HISTORY As the fall of '42 rolled around, our Sophomore class onoe again entered tae halls of T. C. K. B., but with a much bolder feeling than last year. The school activisies started with enthusiasm while the class elections soon followed. Don Sunderland, our President was ably assisted by Bob Curry as Vice-President , and Marjorie Ponder as Secretary—Treasurer.Lois Thayer was elected to represent us in the Student Counr.ii. Again this year the G, A. A. held the largest oeroentage of club memberships from our class but all the c’ubs were well represented. Severe1 of our ooys worked hard enough at football and bacKetcalj. to earn their T's this year. When we were but green Freshmen, hiss White and Miss Deer guided us through the year with Mabel Moody: our President, and Richard. Kelly, the Vice-President, their constant helpers, Marjorie Ponder was Secretary-Treasurer and Lowell Reeder was Student Courcil representative. Mr ss S'luss and Mrs. Flack, our advisers this year join with the class in the hope that, we may continue to hold the standing we have so fir attained. THE FRESHMAN CLASS At the first of the year the Freshman Class had an enrollment of 69. Since v;e have lost 6 an I gained 1, there are now 64 members in the lass. Our Class Officers are: President, Bruce Hayden; Vice-President, Raymond Owen; Secretary and Treasurer, Georganna Jones; Student Council Member, Patty Kennedy. We chose Miss Deer and Miss Frantz for our class advisers. Nearly half of the Freshmen who are taking Latin joined the Latin Club.Miriam Lewis is Treasurer for this club, and Patty Kenned;, is on the program committee. John Cletcher, Raymond Owen, and Tom Harlan are the three fresiimen who were taken into the Debase Club. John Cletcher was elected parli-u..Ontarian. This is the first time that any Freshmen have been admitted to this club. Many Fresiimen boys went out fov football and basketball. The outstanding stars are Raymond Owen and Jim Miller. They played n the second team. Fresnmen belonging to different c_.ubs ha e been elected to the Stuaent Council and many other offices. Patty Kennedy and Ton Harlan were in a Christmas play called ':Love Cores Knocking. There are six Freshmen in band, a:ia a number of Freshmen boys and girls have joined chorus. Many boys are in Boy Scouts. Most oi them were members w..en they were ir grade school. There are iO girls in Girl Scouts and 9 ii G. A.

They were set back 13-0, the third del’eat in three years by the Big 12 school. TuscoZa was led by the running and passing of Harry Archibald, and the effective blocking, tackling, end running of Captain Clarence ueyer. The Kishmen put up a stiff battle, but Champaign's reserve strength was a little too much for the Okaw Valley eleven. Tuscola's second game of the season was a nor-counter with Bernent on the local field under the lights. The Kishmen won the game 47-6, thus retaining the Palmer Trophy which was put into competition last fall between the two schools. Hairy Archibald was the leading scorer for the Marricro, as he made three touchdowns and the same n' mler of extra points for a total of 21 points. The Warriors caught Charleston napping on September 25, and completed two passes: on sleeper plays, which were good for two touchdowns ani gave Tuscola a 13 to 0 victory over the Partners here order the lights. Both plays wore identical as Harry Archibald passed to Joe Bira or plays 32. and 10 yards from the gcal. Bird also took an exr a point pass: from Archibald, to score all 13. points 5or Tuscola. Tuscola's first conference win wai a 0 victory at the expense of Arthur on the Tus c a gridiron, Cctobei 2.

The highlight of the game was Harry Archibald's 85 yard run through the enti'e Redskin team behind some beautiful blocking. The Kishmen won their third Okaw game 22 to 0 on October 16 from the Villa Grove Blue Devils.Tuscola scored early in the first quarter as Harry Archibald passed to Bob Stallsworth from the 25 yard line into the end zone. In the second frame, Archibald kicked a 19 yard field goal to give the Warriors a 10 to 0 margin at halftime. Two touchdowns in the final stanza by Captain Meyer and Archibald ended the Tuscola scoring. Homecoming on October 23 was indeed a success as the Warriors downed Oakland 26 to 6 for the r fourth win in the Okaw Valley conference.Oakland scored first, however,when Johnny Jones took a pass from Rice at the 12 yard marker. Tuscola wasted no time n tying the score as they flashed back with a touchdown by Meyer from the 10 yard line. They went on to take a 20 to G lead at halftime, and to score once more in the third period. The Armistice Day game at Monticello proved to be by far the best game of the season for Tuscola, with the exception of the loss of their captain. The Wan -icrs won 34 to 20, but in the second frame Clarence Meyer was taken from the game with the ligaments in his left leg torn loose. Just before the half cruel, the Sages scored on two long passes and madi both points to take a 14 to 13 lead. In the third quarter, Harr Archibald was out to revenge the loss of the team's leader, and he did. He added two touchdowns ant an extra point to the 12 points that he had scored in the first half. The red-headed, fullback just couldn t hr; stopped as he tore off gain after gain thiough the Monticeilo linemen. As a result, the Kishmen von thei. fifth O w game with Archibald scoring 25 of the total number of points.

Tuscola, Illinois April 20, 1953 Dear Readers:- On my excursion around the country, I have been most fortunate In meeting several acquaintances of high school years. It is really amazing what time will dol While the train' was stopped for minor repairs in a little Oklahoma town, I got off for a breath of fresh air. Upon seeing a neat little restaurant across the street, I decided to go in for a bite to eat. Imagine my surprise when I opened the door and almost bumped into Charles Bowles. I learned that he had joined the Marines and was now home on a furlough. He told me about his duties overseas, and about some daring moments he had had. Hardly had I sat down at the table when a familiar voice asked for my order. I looked up, and saw Jane Bensken. She and Bessie Wells were the owners of this restaurant that was noted for its home-cooked11 food. Jane told me that at present Bessie was visiting Ethel Ingrum who is a trained nurse. I learned that John King had become a medical doctor at the same hospital in which Ethel was a nurse. As I left the restaurant, I noticed the engineer of my train—a tallfdark fellow with a familiar-looking face. Upon going closer,I discovered that he was Gus Flesor and at the same time, he recognized me. During our conversation I found that Russell Helm is an Ensign in the Navy? and is now stationed in Maine. Gus said it was coincidental,but true, that Wayne Pickett,' Thomas McKimmey, and Wilbur Pankau were stationed there, too. The four of them had quite a celebration when they each learned of the presence of the others. Gus informed me that Kern Lake now works in ah airplane factory,'and makes his home with Burlin Obrecht, who, by the way, Married Dorothy Williams soon after our high school graduation. When he was visiting at the Obrecht residence not long ago, Dorothy had told him that Helen June Thomas was happily married to her high school sweetheart; That Joyce Doty and Phyllis Kresin had Joined the WAACS and were now on active duty at parts unknown; ' that Leona Sunderland was in charge of a children's home in New Yprk, and had been highly complimented by all the newspapers for the outstanding type of work that she was doing,. By this time the train was ready to pull out, and I bade Gus a Hon Voyage' on all his trips. As I got hack on the train, I saw aboard two schoolgirl friends, none other than Harriett Kinney, accompanied by Virginia Knoche.. The two girls were overjoyed at seeing me, as they had had no news from Tuscola for a long time,. They, said they were enroute i-o Chicago where they were going to take part in an eperecta at the Civic Oner a House,- X noticed that the gins carried an expensive portable radio, which we turned on to listen to their favorite ■orogram, The Quizz Lies- Such, an evenly-toned radio it was J They had purchased it at a radio shop in downtown St,. Louis from Glenn Frahm. Hut hack to the urogram.;. Two of the. Quizz hide now on that program are Harold Quinlan, Jr., and Eddie Martin, Jr.,.sons of our old classmates, Harold and Edwin, who at the present are partners in a law firm in Dayton, Ohio. After The Quizz Kids program, we tuned in to Kay Rubart's Homemaker's.Hour, but were disturbed by a sudden commotion.. A man, ragged and dirty, came running through our coach. When I bought a paper at the next stoe, I read that Bob' Collins had been arrested by detective Joe Lloyd for being the leader of a chain-gang of bums who were riding .locomotives,. Other members of the gang later arrested were: Bob Stallsworth, Harold Riemkc,. and Dale Navel. However, it developed that the boys were doing their bit: for a scene for a moving picture.. This misunderstanding was straightened out when the millionaire playboy, Forrest Wardell, came to the city to pay their hail. On the opposite page of the newspaoer, I read an article, telling of the publication of another hit tune written by Georgiana Feeler As we looked out the window, we noticed sign boards here and there, and just for fun began reading them. One was an advertisement reading, How to he A Snake-Charmer in Ten Easy Lessons, by Cleone Coslet. My excursion was almost at an end, as I stopped off at Milwaukee. Descending the steps, I was handed a bill which, read, Chorus Girls Now Playing at the Lincoln Theatre. There were pictures of Margaret Ashwill, Betty Jane Bear, and Dorothy Thompson. I was so tired after my long trip that I decided to take a taxi to some hotel. Tt was certainly a surprise to see Bob Hartman driving the cab' that I hailed. He recommended the best hotel, in town to me.. This was owned and operated by Barbara Hartman and Agnes Hausman. As T entered the hotel, I was greeted by Leslie Dick In the uniform of a doorman.. Inside, Virginia Colwell welcomed, me, as she was the hostess there.. It seemed odd to find so many of the 43 graduates all working at one hotel.. Other than the ones already mentioned, there were: Eddie Coslet, desk clerk; Paul Dotson, bell boy; and Jim Flanagan, elevator boy. Upon opening the door of ray room, T heard a friendly voice say, Hello, there. ' I looked around ter.be greeted by the former Mary Joan Huber, now Countess La De— vacht, who seemed more attractive than ever.. She was accompanied by another Tuscola graduate,.Doris Flfer, who will soon be wed to 'Count LaDevacht 's brother. After congratulating her I went to my room. I dropped into a chair and picked up Life Magazine, my favorite publication. I became quite interested in the Aeronautics article written by Billy French, . and illustrated by Clarence Meyer. The dare-devils , as they were called, are test-pilots for Uncle Sam. As I turned the leaves of the magazine, I became interested in the announcements of the political election to be held in the near future. Pictured were Vincent Lecher, running for Secretary of the State of Illinois; and Byron Moody, a candidate for Vice-President of the United States, accompanied by his charming wife, Mary Elizabeth. After a short rest I was off for the movies. I wanted to see as much of the town as I could while I was here. There was ?.n excellent show at the Rialto Theatre, and I determined to see it because the stars were some of my old classmates. The sports announcer was Lloyd Overmeyer, who did a good Job of his work. The name of the show was Follies of Fifty, starring Jack O'Keefe and his orchestra, plus the blues'singer, Marllynn Root. In previews of coming attractions, I observed that Frank Wilhelm is now playing Napoleonic roles, and that Dick Parker, Columbia producer, will soon offer to the public his first big hit, Gone With the Wind, starring Mary Taylor as Scarlett O'Hara, and Byron Smith as Rhett Butler. I was sorry to have my excursion end because it had been so pleasant to see classmates once again. Not until then had I realized how much I valued them and their friendship. Sincerely, GEO.
