KENNEDY Senior Class History The fall of 1940 found a new freshmen class of sixty-two students entering Tuscola Community High School to begin, perhaps, the four most exciting and eventful years of their lives. The members of this group Joined various clubs, and took an active part-in athletics, fte elected Lowell Lewis, President:Annabelle McGuire, Vice-President;Wanda Meyer,Secretary-Treasurer;and Helen Hllllgoss, Student Council representative. Our class advisers were Miss Deer and Miss Frantz. Although we lost some of our class members during the Sophomore year, the rest of us struggled on to achieve greater know— ledge. We- elected Bob Bundy, President-. Annabelle McGuire-, Vice-President; doseraary Davies, Secretary-Treasurer; and Ruth oiley, Student Council representative. Our class advisers were Mrs. Flack and Mr. DocIittie„ Our Junior year found many members of our class gaining recognition in the differentMclubs. We presented the Junior class play, “Good Night. Ladies, directed by Miss Many, to raise funds for the Junior Senior reception. The theme of the reception was patriotic, the gym being decorated with red, white, and blue streamers, and a large V before the band stand. Everyone danced to the music of Carlyle Browning and his orchestra. The officers for this year were Bob Harlan, President; Ray Lee Allen, Vice-President;-Annabellc McGuire, Secretary-Treasurer;and Jin Winn,Student Council representative. The class advisers were Mr ..Doolittle and Mrs,Muzzy. At last we reached the final and leng-awaited year. Everyone was anxious to complete his high school education. Unfortunately for their plans, four boys were called into the service of Uncle Sam before the year was completed. Those were Bill Huber and Burton Milligan, called to serve in the Army Air Corps; Jim Seaney and John. Rcoine, in. the Navy. Our Senior Class play, Seven Sisters, directed by Kiss Grumbles, was an artistic ana financial success. Our class officers were: Annabelle McGuire. President;- Bon Bundy, Vice-President;Rosemary Davies, Secretary-Treasurer;and Bob Harlan, Student Oeurcal representative. Our class advisers were '-'lisa Magnusson and Kiao Grumbles. So ends our last year at T.C.H.S, We graduate into a world of hostility. Many of us will serve in the armed forces, some of us will seek further education by attending college: others will be employed in the many Jobs now open to us But whatever confronts us, we will meet it with enthusiasm and. willingness, in order that this Democracy shall not perish from the earth.

JUNIOR GLASS HISTORY In September 1941, another class of the usual type of green freshmen clamored into the halls of T.C.H.S. Although this class was the smallest that had entered our high school for a number of years, we soon found our way around the building, and began to join the different clubs. Mable Moody was elected President; Richard Kelly,Vice-President; Marjorie Ponder, Secretary-Treasurer;and Lowell Reeder, Representative to the Student Council. Miss White and Miss Deer were our class advisers. When the class registered the next fall, the enrollment was even smaller than it had been the year before. This year Don Sunderland was elected President; Bob Curry, Vice-President; Marjorie Ponder, Secretary-Treasurer; and Lois Thayer, Student Council member. Mrs. Flack and Miss Sluss were our class advisers. The next time the class of '45 registered in high school, we were all very familiar with the surroundings, as we had by that time become upoerclassmen .Bill Stallsworth was elected President; Joan Jones, Vice-President; Marjorie Ponder, Secretary-Treasurer; and Lois Thayer, Student Council representative. Miss Sluss and Mrs. Huff are our class advisers. The Junior Class is well represented in all the activities of school. Eight of the boys have earned their T's in football, and two have received them in basketball this year. Five members are in the Debate Club, and fifteen were initiated into Thespians. You will find a good representation of Juniors in all of the other clubs of high school, too. In October the Juniors sponsored a Daisy Mae Dance. In December, we presented the class play, ,rAsk Me Another , very capably directed by Miss Macy. The class held a rummage sale in the early pert of March, and a dance and cake walk in the latter part of March. All of these proved to be very successful, and helped increase our funds for the Reception this spring. We shall miss the class of '44 when we come back from summer vacation, but when we again enter T.C.H.S., we shall endeavor to follow the ideals they have set for earnest work and true sportsmanship.

Jl1 FRESHMAN CLASS The 1943 Freshman Class began Its high school education with an enrollment of seventy-eight. Since the beginning of school, ten of these members have dropped out. For a few days at the beginning of the year, some of us Freshies11 were lost. If only there were large printed signs labelling every door: ENGLISH I and II; ENGLISH III and IV; STUDY HALL; etc. That would have enabled us to find what we wasted three minutes searching for; However, everyone was feeling at home soon, and everything was going smoothly. As to activities, most of the girls joined G.A.A., Chorus, and Girl Scouts; the boys were in favor of sports. Jeanne Root was Quaestor of the Latin Club. Thirteen Freshmen were in the band.

Boy Scout 8 Boy Scout Activities of Troop 43 were high-lighted this year by (l) a renewed emphasis on the Out in Scouting, and (2) participation in several paper and metal salvage drives.

Senior Class Play The Senior class presented the three-act play, Seven Sisters. The atmosphere and costumes were Hungarian.

Football Tuscola Opponents 19 Sept. 17 Arthur 6 27 Sept. 24 Atwood 7 14 Oct. 3 Villa Grove 13 7 Oct. 8 Newman 13 20 Oct. 15 Monticello 7 48 Oct. 22 Oakland 0 14 Oct. 29 Bement 20 13 Nov. 11 Areola 0 After four years of record-breaking activities in the sports' world, the reign of the Warriors as Champions of the Okaw Valley has come to an end. For four glorious years the Warriors over-ran their foes, and brought football and basketball titles alike to Tuscola; but the 1942-44 edition of the Kishmen hit midseason snags and couldn't make the grade for their fifth consecutive title. The Warriors opened the football season Sept. 17 with a game against Arthur under the lights, and retired with a 19-6 victory tucked away. Although Tuscola was playing without their Captain-elect,Floyd Akers, who had moved to Chicago, the Okaw Valley Champs played flashy ball at times. They dropped their vigilance in the last quarter, however, when they allowed the Knights to score after a piass interception had paved the way for their only touchdown. Tuscola made its first bid to repeat in the Okaw by defeating Atwood in the first Conference game. The Kishmen banged over three touchdowns in the first quarter and added another in the third, while the Rajahs collected their tally on a pass play in the closing minutes of the game. Don Sunderland ripped off the first counter and Lowell Reeder, slipped through the line for the second. Immediately following, Joe Bird scampered 70 yards, and booted his third place kick of the quarter. Sunderland completed the Warrior scoring to round out a 27 to 7 victory. The third Warrior victory was almost an upset, as the Villa Grove team came from behind in the second quarter to soore two touchdowns, but missed one extra point to lead 13—7. Tuscola hit on a sleeper play to cross the goal, but the play was nullified by a penalty. However, the Warriors drove on to score in the same quarter, and a place kick by Joe Bird proved to be the winning factor in the game, the Warriors coming out on top 14-13. Newman defeated the Warriors 13-7. The Redskins turned the trick that no other Okaw Vhlley team had been able to do for four years. The string of 36 consecutive victories without defeat at the hahds of an Okaw opponent was broken when the Redskins punched over scores in the second and fourth quarters. Tuscola rallied and put over one touchdown in the fourth frame, but couldn't equal it again. The game was partially a battle between two back-field men, Mullinax and Bird, who led their teams in the fray, both gaining more than 200 yards from scrimmage. Tuscola took no chances against a big Monticello team, and on the second play.of.the game, Bird passed to Sunderland for the Warriors first touchdown. Later Barnes and Reeder added scores in the second and third periods, while the Sages drove 80 yards for their score in the second quarter to make the final count 20-7 for Tuscola. A small, but gallant, Oakland team fell by the wayside as the Warrior machine raced to a 48-0 triumph with Joe Bird leading the way with 3 touchdowns, one of which was a 70 yard Jaunt after the Oafcs had kicked out of danger from their 10 yard line. The Warriors went down to their second conference defeat 20-14 in a hard fought battle. Howard Barnes put the Warriors ahead when he raced 15 yards for the first counter of the game. Bement tied the score in the second frame, but again the Warriors took the lead on a plunge by Bird, who converted successfully. But the Purple weren't done yet, and in the last quarter they counted twice in rapid order to go into the lead. A last minute Warrior rally was stopped on the 12 yard line. Areola and Tuscola played scoreless ball the first half of their annual game, but the Warriors came back to score twice in the third quarter and that proved enough to win, as the Purple Riders were held scoreless throughout the game. The 13-0 win put the Warriors in a third place tie with Arthur in the Okaw Valley, while Newman was crowned the new king of the Okaw. Basketball Summary 194.3-1944.

Our President has now the right, To run WDZ her own way; Dot Logan is admired by the opposite sex, She dares not tell one nay. Our droll friend, the Reverend Stenger, For sermons does not lack; He lives in bliss beside his wife, Congenial Mary Mac. A name you'll find on all cartoons, The name of Dorothy Meek. Fair Ivadene, who near Tuscola lives, Sings lullabies throughout the week. Of Bob Harlan, you'll find he's head Of a fancy grocery store. Juanita Wheeler wedded Joe, She does not wish for more. A doctor kind is Bob Bundy And much to be revered; Rosie and Donnie each a nurse, To the hearts of all endeared. Then Dean Petry, let me say, Of the Tribune staff is chief. And Rairden and Rahn as lawyers bold, Their opponents bring to grief. A speaker in the Capitol Is Ray Lee Allen now. And Latin's Kleiss and Kennedy's line No foolishness they'll allow. Now Hausman deals in hard-earned, cash; In the treasury he's a shark. And Meyer married a millionaire; Their life is one grand lark. Yes, Lowell Kennedy now in Boston dwells, His voice has made him rich; He married Betty Whltehouse long ago; Alas, they do not hitch. Jim Winn is Just the same to all; His ranch is in the West. They tell me Evelyn’s single yet; Her music cannot rest. And Myrtle's out upon, the farm, She's found her place at last; And Garrett of the Senior Class Is a WAVE before the mast. An Orphan's Home McLennan rules; She soothes them with a kiss. And Charline 3's a farmer's wife; Her name's no longer Miss. We nov find Milligan and Fullerton In the Air Corps seeking fame, With Schweighart and Gilles, Helping to accomplish their aim. We hear that Karolee is in the circus, Flying through the air with the greatest of ease, With her very able assistants The Gallager Twins, Lois and Louise. Few words does Mary Lou speak, But yet she does her part. And Virginia S. we do find An efficient teacher in household art. We recognized the names of Barnes and Lamb Painted on a hardware sign, With their congenial assistants, Bob Weaver and John Romine. Helping in post war reconstruction, Three maidens, one idea in mind, Whitehead, Foster, and P. Smith, Straight and erect three WACS we find. Wanda Colwell with her second husband abides And has money in the bank. Mary Etta lives upon a farm. And cooks a mean ham shank. Ted Russell sells the Cadillac He's making money fast; O'Bryan has gone to India, She is the very last. We all have now in life begun To make ourselves a name. We hope that fortune on us smiles And brings our names to fame. CALENDAR Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan. Peb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Fete. Feb.
