FOREWORD The Graduating Class of 1048 has published this Tuscolian as a record of not-to-be-forgotten events and persons. In our book we have tried to depict all the major 3ports, plays, and clubs, and with these we hope to bring back memories of our happy school days.

S. in September of 1944, Being no different from any other class, however, v;e soon found ourselves very much a part of high school life, Vv’e showed an interest in all activities that were open to freshmen. For class officers we chose: President,Elwin Reeder; Vice-President,Betty Stenger; Secretary-Treasurer, Donald Conn; and Student Council Member, Phyllis Van Winkle. Miss Deer and Miss Frantz were our advisers. As sophomores our enrollment had decreased somewhat, but we began to take part in more activities. Our officers were Willis Frahn, President; Helen McConnell,Vice-President; Stella Decker, Secretary-Treasurer; and Kenneth Ring, Student Council Representative. Cur advisers were Mrs. Flack and Mr. Schrader. During our junior year fifty-eight were enrolled. Our caoable President was Kenneth McQueen. Stella Decker was Vice-President; Betty Moody,Secretary-Treasurer; and Martha Ann O'Neill, Student Council Member. The high point of the year was the Prom, which had a Mexican theme. The success of this affair was due to the fine leadership of our class officers and of our advisers, Miss Bundy and Mr. Johnson, and to hard work on the part of everyone. To raise money for the event, we sponsored bake sales, a turkey raffle, a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, and a play, GOING PLACES, which was directed by Kiss Hacy. As seniors, we numbered fifty-six. For this last mile of high school,we again chose Willis Frahm for President. Other officers were Kenneth Ring,Vice-President;Joan Scott,Secretary-Treasurer; and Martha Ann 0«Neill,Student Representative. Our helpful advisers were Miss Sluss and Miss Magnusson,The year was high-lighted by the work on this Annual, and by the presentation of tbe class play, THE GHOST PARADE, directed by Miss Grumbles. As we had so often been warned during the beginning of our careers at T. C, H. S., we found ourselves thinking about graduation long before spring came,and wishing that time did not pass so swiftly. Some of us plan to work when school is over; others anticipate college next year. Still others are undecided about thoir immediate futures. Whatever we do in these next years,dear T� C. H. S., we shall undoubtedly find that the benefits of the wisdom you have given us will never cease to make our lives happier and more useful.May we compensate for the great debt we owe you by living useful,honest,upright lives,and thereby prove that we were worthy of being so tenderly, yet firmly guided through what were perhaps the most important years of our lives.

Reeder, ♦ • m • Tuscola 6 Paris 12 On the night of September 12, the Paris footballers came to Tuscola to face a light inexperienced squad. The boys from down south were a bit too heavy and experienced for the Warriors and won 12 to 6. Elwin Reeder's 60 yard touchdown run was the highlight of the game. Tuscola 0 Gibson City 20 With halfbacks Gross and Lawrence making 20 points between them, the Gibson City football team ran over the Warriors 20 to 0. Tuscola made several bids, the best in the fourth quarter when they missed by two inches. Tuscola 19 Monticello 6 Halfback Loren Blaase started things rolling with a 67 yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Corky Waters scored on a quarterback sneak and nine plays later, Suck Heyers plowed over from the three. The game was interrupted with several penaltios--Tuscola getting 105 yards against then and ITonti-cello getting 55 yards. Gerald Brady converted one extra point. Tuscola 13 Newman 25 Tuscola scored in the first quarter, and in the fourth, but couldn’t overcome the onslaught of the bigger Redskins. Blaase led Tuscola in yards gained on the ground. Tuscola 20 Villa Grove 14 The Warriors led all the game on Jay Bowles' 7 yard end run and Loren Blaase's 45 yard touchdown gallop. Ware scored on a pass from. Waters in the first half.” Brady converted two extra points. Tuscola 19 Cerro Gordo O' Because the boys were over anxious, three first quarter touchdowns were called back, two for 70 yards and the other for 46 yards. Tuscola finally got rolling on a 57 yard pass from 'Waters to Harting in the second quarter. Waters later scored on a sneak play in the third quarter. The high-light of the game was Jay Bowles' 98 yard touchdown run on an intercepted pass. Tuscola led in downs 14 to 5 and total yards gained on ground was 198 to 10 for the Broncos. Brady converted one extra point. Tuscola 31 Bement 0 With Bowles and Blaase scoring two touchdowns each and Van Winkle one, Tuscola ran roughshod over the Bement Raiders on Homecoming night. Blaase had an 80 yard kick-off and also a 66 yard touchdown run that night.Brady converted one extra point. On a muddy field the Tuscola Warriors defeated one of the better teams in the Okaw 27 to 6. With Waters and Blaase scoring and Brady converting,Tuscola led 14 to 0 at the halfl Buck Meyers scored for Tuscola and Slavin for Sullivan in the third period. On the next kick-off Jay Bowles went 90 yards for the final touchdown. Brady converted for the final 27 to 6 score. The Armistice Day game was a hard fought battle between two good teams with Tuscola coming up on top with statistics, but getting only a tio cut of the game. Areola scored in the second quarter on a p;.s:i from Patridge to Pullen giving them tlv' load at the half 6 to 0. The Warriors roared back in the third period with 31aase scoring from the 20 yard line. The tea s fought evenly throughout the remainder of the game with Tuscola threatening to score at the final gun. Tuscola led in downs 13 to 5 and yards gained on the ground 234 to 97. The Warriors gained 32 yards to 9 in the air. This year the Warriors had a very small but scrappy team. They had a good season all the way.

Yes, my vork is tiring, but the r atients and I get along so veil that I really enjoy my vork. Who am I? Why, you surely remember me, Kyrt O'Neill, i'y reason for returning to the scene of my high school days vas that ten years ago, in 14P, Helen McConnell, Phyll Van Winkle and I planned a trip to Mexico. Phyll had reached Tuscola the day before I got here. Phyll vas nov the editor of the Nev York Times. This pst er had much influence on Phyll beck in history class in dear old T.C.H.S. T'e vere kinds interested In hearing from our Pourbonite, Helen. She vas nov Hellene the Hair Stylist of Hollyvood. He en arrived the same afternoon and bright and early the next morning ve vere off on our trie—south of the border! While ve vere vaiting for the train, ve began to discuss our old classmates and honed ve'd see a fev of them on our trjn. T'e heard a long volfish vhistle that Helen said sounded familiar. V’e looked un and sure 'nuff it vas. It vas none other than Russ Romine. Russ vas the engineer of the nev streamliner that the P. Avn C. had just started from Tuscola to Mexico. be vere thrilled, to say the least, vhen Russ asked us to ride un front vith him. Helen said she thought the brake-man looked familiar and Fhyll agreed. I vas really surprised vhen the brakeran turned out to be Carl Hill. He and Russ vere alvays buddies in our school days. ve roared out of the station and ve decided ta go back to the Lounge Car. As ve came through, the conductor vas all smiles and behind that smile ve recognized Herschel ,,Te.rd.Ten more years and he can retire on a pension. As ve vere relaxing Phyll glanc cd through a lovie Magazine, Suddenly she yelled, Look vho's getting ton billing in Hollyvood! There spread across the entire Page vas a glamorous pose of Madeline Cler. The entire magazine had been devoted to her rise to fame—what she ate for breakfast—and many other little things. Just think, ve vent to school vith her! Cn the back page there vas an advertisement for Pillsbury Flour. Where Petty Crocker used to have her picture telllngher favorite recipe, there now was a portrait of Mary Hausman. She has a radio program every day which is cabled. Hausmans1 Household Hints. A businessman sitting across the aisle from us vas dictating to an efficient secretary end betveen vords puffing on a big pine. As the fog cleared, Helen said that he looked familiar, and sure 'nuff it vas our old football caotain, Skirts redy! He told us that after playing pro-football for several years he returned to his first love—essay writing. He Is working on his fourth volume, The Art of Writing and Understanding Essays. I noticed that his caoable secretary was none other than Eetty Cook. Cookie passed her 280 words in shorthand back in T.C.H.S. We stormed in Tucson for a few hours ley over. We figured we'd see Pat Thornton who left T.C..T..E. In the middle of the year. We’d hardly landed when we saw a neon sign flashing Pat's Press Shoo. We had a long talk with her and then vent back to the station to wait. While we were waiting for the train to come in we heard a rattle going by. As we ran out, imagine our surorise when we recognized Don Conn in his old yellow and black Ford of high school days. With him was his ever oreeent oal, Bruce Schveighart.You remember Eruce—our '48 basket ball caotain. He's made his first million claying crofessional basketball and is now living on his stocks and bonds. Don is his handyman and also lives off Bruce's stocks and bonds. Before long we were in that cicturesoue land of Mexico. The inspector who checked our baggage across the border line was none other then Dean Hill, We'd heard he was here, but didn't sucrose we'd be lucky enough to see him. Mexico City—What a dace! We hired a taxi to take an excursion through the city. The taxi driver stuck his heed out and said, Don't you remember me? Why, yes, yelled Helen as she dashed over to shake hands with Bob Williamson. He drives his taxi and referees basketball games as a side line,. We started on our excursion and Bob ran through a red light. A siren sounded and a coc pulled uc. G-uess who the coo was. That's right, none other than Jim Hendrickson. Egg said for old times sake he would like to lfeU us go free,but jobs were Jobs noveday6 and we would have to appear before the judge. As we walked in to Court, we recognized the fellow in the big robe as Harold Johns. He said it was Just like old home week because Don Ferguson had Just left, Harold didn't make us oay the fine and we dashed out of the courthouse screaming for Don. There was Don getting in a 4-Door Cadillac that needed hinges in the middle so it could turn corners. Don is resident of the Electrolux Comcany and has Just started a new branch in Mexico. Since he had to go to hie office, he invited us to dinner that evening. Now ve went back to Fob's taxi and were off again for a tour of the city. Ve oassed by the University of Mexico and Bob told us that Lovell Leonard, our former classmate, V88 president new. Ve drooled in to heve a chat with Lovell and he informed us that Petty Jean Van Blaricum V8S now a Spanish commercial teacher. Two Mexican Senors have fougnt a duel over her, because she is as nretty as she always was. Lovell also said Kenneth McQueen, vho is new resident of Northwestern, vas coming down soon for a conference. He and Kenny were going to exchange ideas on how to foster friendly relations between the United States and Mexico. Ve had heard of the active volcano, Mount Erunt, and warted to see it. About ten miles out of Mexico City ’we saw a woman scurrying out of her house with ten children running behind her. r’e stormed for a drink of. water and recognized the woman as the former Lois Stoerger. emember that diamond sne gotvher she was a Senior? Her husband, George Nussell, is still a Bontiac dealer, but the burree give him a lot of comoetition here. Lois told us that the next farm house down the road was Fean Veters'. Fean told us he was having a little trouble with the sane in raising cactuses. Ylhen we arrived at Mount Eruot, we found that the guide was Ted Fay. Ve had a long talk with him and he told, us that he had married Marguerite, his girl friend from Villa Grove. Bob told us that there was a bullfight that afternoon and since we had never seen one—it sounded like fun. Ve stormed for lunch at a Valgreen Agency before going to the arena. There behind the soda fountain was Mary . McCuIrber. She waited on us and during our conversation she told us that Jack Preston was now manager of a chain of Valgreen Agencies in Mexico. On to the Bull Fight-----As ve were waiting in line for tickets, ve met some of our old friends. Ve had a long conversation with Chas Hausman, who is now a successful businessman in a fruit grower's corporation. He got his early training as business manager for our '4e annual. Betty Stenger was with him. She has been his secretary for the cast five years and is a very good one, too. We recognized Betty Moody, Mary Ellen Weasel, and Donna Root. We vere surprised to see then end asked them vhat they vere doing in Mexico. They said they had come down to see Bob Redden,vho was billed as the toj toreador for the afternoon. We really vere in luck. Our old friend, Cowboy was to be the bull fighter. V'e hurried cn into the arena. j 08n Scott took our tickets and ushered us to our seats She started her career at the Strand Theatre and now owns several theatres herself, but she is so attached to her vork that she hasn't the faintest idea of retiring for at least twenty-five years. We stood snd talked to her until two loud voices yelled at us to sit down. We turned, arcund to see who the culprits were,and to our surprise—there vere Jack Haney and Jim I cNeely. Jack is in the Pan American Congress. Jim is here or. business. He's been in Alaska several yeers and was trying to negotiate terms with Mexico to get a road built from Alaska to Mexico. Everythir.fr became ouiet for we heard a loud fanfare. Myrt said the man out in front carrying the sword was Norman Witte. The men sitting next to us said he was Senor Redden's handyman. It seems he handles all of Cowboy's private affairs, except the women. Phyl? noticed that in the nress box sat Jim Stout. He was famous as an announcer and owned all the large networks and radio stations. Jim Just announces occasionally, but since the bull fight was in television, Jim dashed to Mexico to announce it. A photographer in the arena was sure knocking himself out to get a good cloture. All at once we realized that the man with the camera was Ed Lucas. He was in charge of filming all pictures in Hollywood and was getting a few shots for his next movie. At the Hot Tamale stand we saw Alta Dallss and Helen Thomas. They had perfected a new recipe for this delicious food and their Chili and Hot Tamales vere known all over Mexico. When the fight was over, we noticed Bob dash to the sideline end bow to a beautiful senorita. Helen said it was Joanne Thompson. We hurried over to chat with her only to find her surrounded by men. Joanne was in pictures in Mexico and all Mexico had fallen for her. Mary Kleiss vas vith her. Mary tcM us she vas her social secretary and managed all her private affairs. t-'e left the arena and started out egai'” in our taxi. Phyll noticed a huge factory with Sybil Wishard's name on it. ve vent in to the office end waited for a. fev minutes before ve were ushered into Sybil's private office. She was a designer of dresses and made them in her large factory. We started back for the hotel when I noticed a private hospital. And guess who vas at the head of it? Why, Esther Donahoo. She. started out to be a nurse, but vented to operate, so she became a doctor. She had several hospitals in both the United States and Mexico. It sure vas good to see Esther so famous and successful. Again ve started for the hotel and this time ve made it. We vere very tired from our day's excursion and Helen said she could s een a week. We told Bob goodbye and entered the hotel. As ve started uo on the elevator, ve missed Helen. We dashed outside only to find her talking to a man at a nevsstend. As ve walked uo, ve noticed Willie Frehm, our Senior Class President. ,-re chatted for a vhile and then bought some evening oaoers. After ve dressed for dinner ve attempted to reed the nevsoaoers. They vere written in Spanish end Phyll vas the only one vho cculd reed them. She let out a yell,for on the front age vas Langhorne Meeker's Picture. She vas appearing before the President of Mexico to olay her flute at a command performance. Don called for us and said he had a surprise for us. When ve got to his house, ve found Devayne Herting and Kenny Ring. They vere spending a fev weeks in Mexico before starting on 8 tour vith the Ringhert Follies. They bought Mr. 7iegfield out r fev years ago. The boys certainly are interested in their vcrk and they s end a large Pert of their time talking about the show. We had a lovely dinner and the conversation seemed to drift back to our school days. After dinner, Don suggested ve go to a nirht club. To our surprise, it vas ovned by Elvin Reeder. The place vas beautifully decorated and he said Ella Sevard. had done the artistic vork. She is a famous interior decorator and the President of the United States has Just reouested she redecorate the White House. ■Helen saw Anita Stortzum end her husband, Dick Chaolin. We had a nice talk vith them and found out they owned e chain of car service stations all over the world. Suddenly the lights dimmed. VTe heard a oiano lettln' loose with'a solid beat. To our great surprise there was Larry Jess, THE KINO- CF J ZZ. His usual caravan of admiring bobby-soxers were there and we could hardly hear a-bove all the swooning. The nlace was crowded and Elvln said it was this way every night. The reason ve s Ruth Burns and Flio Loyd. They have been singing together for years and have made hits out of such songs as Tenvoatatlon. Feudin' jand Fight in , npn? and hundreds of others. The evening had been wonderful, but we had ®°™e sleeo or ve'd miss the olane beck to the states. The ilo , co-oilot and hostess were waiting outside the olane when ve got there, ’'uch to our surprise ve noticed Dean Marler, Bud Stirrett and Dorothy Cruzan. There was a little time before ve took off, so we had e very nice talk. The trip back ves very enjoyable and I must say Dean and Bud are fine oilots. Dorothy is a very efficient hostess, also. Before ve knew it, we were bapk' in the U.S.fi. Mexico was fun, but there’s no olace like home. Our goodbyes wouldn't be ouite so sad this time, be-cause ve were “all going to be around Tuscola. Helen still has an interest in Tuscola that seems to be Sandy. Phyll and I have decided to go to the U. of I. to further our education and also to_see what has become of our old interests. 1947-1948 CALENDAR September October November 27 December 24 - Jan 29' January 14-15. 27- 2 Vacation over.
