Phil Van Winkle Bob Howard Wayne Meyer JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1946, sixty-four of us came across the tracks and took our Place In T. C. H. S. The class of '50āthat sounded good. We started things off by electing 3111 Norvell, President, Mary Hausmann ,Vice-President;B .b Stufflebam .Secretary-Treasurer; and Jim Hackett, Student Council Representative. With the help of our advisers, Miss Frantz and Miss Deer, we began to get the hang of this high school business as the year ended. Three months later, less seven classmates, we took a look around and decided that we really belonged. We showed it too. Several of the fellows won their way into the T club; one became a member of the Thespians.- and our girls made their mark in G. A. A. and F,, H. A. These were a few of the many activities in which we took part. Our class government consisted of Russell Stackhouse, President; Barba:-:, 'ictor,Vice-President;Jean Ellis, Secretary-Treasurer; and R jie Mailer as our representative in the Student Council. Mrc, Flack and Mr. Schrader helped us thru the year as advisers. We started the third -chase of high school and during the year, we slipped to fifty-three in number. For -officers we chose Barbara Victor as President, Russ Stackhouse for Vice-President, Bill Norvell as Secretary-Treasurer, and Ed Klelss for Student Council Representative. Miss Hall and Miss Hyer (the two new school ma'ams) worked with us as advisers. We faced the problem of nutting on a Prom,and our class play, Tattletale, along with bake sales, rummage sales, raffles and a basketball game helped us to carry out our theme for this event.

The play is based on a young circus girl, Katie, who enters Midwestern University by using the application papers of an absent French girl, Toni Douche. Three other students of the University also take courses under the name of Toni Douche. At the end of the semester, she is leading the University in scholarship with seven A's. A tea is given in Toni's honor with the President attending. Matters are further complicated when the real Toni Douche appears. Television operators and newspaper photographers are on hand at the end of the play, and for the sake of publicity, the President allows Katie to stay in the University. Ch'arlis Miller Junior Class Play The Junior Class play, Tattletale was presented December 2. The plot centered around Patty who had Tod steal the principal's typewriter in order to write a novel. When the detective came around looking for the typewriter,Patty tried to sneak the typewriter back and in so doing, broke it.Then she got the idea of selling her novel and it was not her fault that her diary was delivered to the newspaper office instead. The diary shakes up the town, for Patty tells ALL in her diary. But the shake-up really does the school and all concerned a lot of good.The play was a great success under the direction of Miss Hyer.

In the second quarter both teams were about on even terms ā until Waters, behind excellent blocking, returned a Paris punt for 50 yards and a touchdown. The second half of the game was a grueling contest between two good blocking lines and hard running back-fields, with neither team being able to score. Olbson City 13-0 After a sluggish first half, the Warriors came back to play one of their best games against a rugged Gibson City eleven, who had been giving them a baa time for two tough quarters.

Sanderson made one extra point. Montlcello 25-6 The Warriors, playing a good brand of ball, breezed through an average Montlcello eleven with very little trouble. The first score came in the first quarter when Waters went over from the six. The next touchdown was made by Bowles who charged ever from the 10.. Blaase tallied the next six points with a 23 yard sprint around left end. The final score came when Water-3 completed a short pass to Ware who outran the defense for -36 yards and a touchdown. Sanderson made one extra point. Newman 51-0 This was the Warriors' fourth victory In four starts and their second Okaw victory. The backs were running behind excellent line blocking.

The game got a quick start, with the Warriors scoring twioe in the first four minutes of play. Waters tallied first for Tuscola on a 40 yard run. The next score came two plays later when Sanderson recovered a Grover fumble in the end zone. Meyer scored two touchdowns with his driving line-bucks, while Blaase accounted for the remaining score, Reinhart scored the only Grover touchdown,and his hard running was a threat all through the game. Sanderson converted one extra point. Oakland 20-12 This game, which was the sixth Warrior victory in six starts, was witnessed by more than 3000 people. The Warriors were on their toes tonight and gave a good performance for their homecoming crowd. The Oaks were the major barrier for Tuscola to hurdle before meeting a highly rated Areola team with a perfect record. When the game was only two plays old, Temples brought the crowd to their feet with a 50 yard off-tackle smash setting up the first touchdown of the game. For the first time this season the Warriors were compelled to come from behind. Blaase made the first Warrior touchdown in the second quarter with a 15 yard Jaunt around left end. Meyer converted. The next score came also in the second quarter when Waters flipped a short pass to Ware in the end zone. So ended the first half with Tuscola leading 13-6. Our only score of the last half was made by Waters in the fourth quarter. Meyer plowed over for the extra point making the final count 20-12. Bement 40-14 The victory over Bement was the seventh straight win against no losses. Dietrich scored two of Tuscola's six touchdowns while Ware, Meyer, Waters, and Jones made one each. Meyer, the hard-driving fullback of the Warriors, scored 3 of the 4 extra points Waters scored the otherc The longest run of the game was Shumard's 95 yard return of a Tuscola kickoff. Bement's second score came when Lawson plunged over from the four. Lawson and Shumard each added an extra point. Arthur 59-12 The Warriors were on another rampage as they downed the Arthur Knights. Waters made five of the nine touchdowns.Blaase added two while Banners and Meyer both added one each. The highlight of the game was the appearance of four Tuscola linemen in the backfield. On four plays this flashy quartet had marched 68 yards for a score. Hanners proved to be a driving fullback as be accounted for over 60 yards of this march and scored on a 30 yard run. Areola 21-0 The Warriors finished the 1948 season with 9 wins out of 9 starts. Areola, the stumbling block that stood in the way of Tuscola winning the Okaw Championship, was not as much of a barrier as their season record indicated, and was completely overcome by the onslaught of the Warriors. The Warrior line was blocking and the backs were running,like the champs they were. Areola did not threaten all evening, gettlhg only to the Warrior 37. Meyer sparked the team with his hard-driving line-bucks, while Waters ran the Areola ends ragged behind excellent blocking. Blaase and Bowles did their usual good Jobs as blocking backs, Meyer, after a long drive, scored the first touchdown in the second quarter on a smashing line plunge. The next two scores came in the fourth quarter. Waters scored on a 4 yard jaunt through the line, and completed a 44 yard pass to Ware who raced over for the tally. Waters made two extra points and Blaase made one. Jay Bowles Warren Moore Mike Sanderson Basketball The basketball season of 1948-49 brought gold basketballs to eight varsity players: Bill Jones, Phil Van Winkle, Dick Ware, Loren Blaase, Cork Waters, Bill McCarty, Bob Schrader, and Richard Hein. There were many exciting games for the Warriors this season. The Sullivan game, in the Okaw Tournament was the best of the close ones. The Warriors were eight points down going into the fourth quarter, but put on a very strong rally and won 35-34. Another top performance came on the night the Warriors Journeyed to Urbana expeoting tough opposition from the Big 12 aohool. The Okaw Champa surprised the Tigers by swamping them 55-21. In the Okaw Tournament the four best teams were Sullivan, Monticello, Oakland, and Tuscola. Three of these teams were in the same bracket. Tuscola defeated Bement, Sullivan, and Monticello to get a crack at Oakland for the title. The ftLnal game with the Oaks was close until the last four minutes when the Warriors pulled away to win 47-40. Waters and Ware were two of the top scorers in the tournament. Waters led all scorers in the tournament with 67 points; Ware was third with 47 points to his credit. The Warriors waltzed through two games in the Mattoon regional before meeting Mattoon. The teams were evenly matched, and as wss expected, the game turned out to be a very exciting one. The score was tied 47-47 with less than a minute to go and since Tusoola was a last half team the chances looked good As the saying goes, Mattoon lucked out and a successful season had to end on a sour note. Two Warrior players reoeived honors after the season. Cork Waters was chosen on the 4th team All-8tate and Dick Ware reoeived honorable mention in the News-Gazette Poll.

They are Wayne Robins, Wayne Meyer, Loren Blaase, Dennis Dietrich,Bill Jones,Phil Van Winkle,Cork Waters,Paul Shields, Jim Hackett, and Dick Ware. Our first meet was the Paris Relays in which we were entered In class A. Tuscola picked up 15-i- points with a first coming In the Distance Medley Relay, fourth in the Sprint Medley Relay, and Cork Waters tied for fourth in the High Jump. Our next meet was the Charleston Open. Tuscola took third behind two Big Twelve Schools, Danville and Mattoon, with 50 points. Firsts were taken by Richard Helm, Pat Boylson, Loren Manners,Cork Waters, and Dick Ware. The next important meet was the Mattoon Relay Carnival. Tuscola won the Class B Division with 47 points. The points were picked up as follows: First in the Distance Medley,FIf st ifi the Sprint Medley Relay, First in the Fresh-Soph. 880 Yard Relay,Second in the Varsity 880 Yard Relay, Fourth in the Two Mile Relay, Third in the High Jump, and Fourth in the Shot. The three firsts broke the standing records. The next meetā and this most important-one will be the Okaw Valley Meet. This is the one that Coach Boyd and the team really want to win. With this meet won, the TusoolaiAthletlo TSams willāhave won Championships in the three main Okaw Sports. Dick Ware T-Club The T-Club, composed of Tuscola's varsity letter winners, started the year with eighteen members. Four new members were add-sd as Football lettermen and one as a Basketball letterman. They were Loren Hanners, Bill Fleming, Bill G-ee, Tom Rich and Richard delra. Last year's letter winners in Track were as follows: Dean larler, Wayne Robins, Wayne Meyer, Loren Blaase, Dennis Dietrich, Bill Jones, Phil Van Winkle, Paul Shields, Jim Hackett, and Dick Ware. The main object of the T-Club this year was to make money for the new bleachers for the new athletic field. We did that, with the aid of our adviser, Mr. Doolittle, by selling concessions at all of our home basketball games.

Eetween parties weāll take time off to write you all the details. Not manv of the kils have arrived, but we're sure that about tomorrow they will start oouring in. We certainlv were sorry that you two couldn't be with us this year for our tenth annual class reunion. Betty said she received a letter from you before she left Palm Springs, Florida, where she has been preparing to defend her title as Olympic Swimming ChamMon. In the letter you said you would be unable to attend because you re helping Jo take care of all tie little stars who have the measles. Does Moon really have them too? I didn't know - ou were planning to be a nurse maid when you left dear old T. C. H. S. , 'Merlon. 3 guess a lot of changes have been made. So much for the above, the gang is hungry so we are all going out to dinner. I havenāt the faintest idea where we'll go as v e aren't very familiar with there Vig cities. See you after while, Came day, 8:00 P. Y. Such wonderful food as they have out here! Betty thinks home was never like this, but did we ever have trouble before we ot to eat. Our car had a valve miss.ng; I wondered what was making us shake so, but 1 thought it was Probably the driver. (Eetty insists she knows how to drive better than any of the rest. You remember in 'ā-eneral Science course, Fan and The Motor Car --thut's where she thinks she learned it). Finally we found a garage and who should come out to help us but i' arren Moore. lie is picking up a little extra cash while he is out here for tie reunion, barren did a nice lob and told us wt;le he Wis out here he had found several nice resturants. One in pnrticxler that interested us was Ming Lirg Blaases. Such a layout.' Old Doc really is in the bus infss Ke treated us to a Ming Ling Special ( old classmates, you know) that was si oly out of this world. The head chef there is none other than that famous guard of the Okaw Valley Champs of '48, Mike Sanderson. Mike really sling3 the hash. All jokes aside, we had a swell time, and I m glad that they're doing so well. You'll never guess what we saw on the way back to the hotel. We passed a hu e sign board advert.sing Kabisco's newest product, '49era Breakfast Cereal. This cereal is made in the shf.-pe of tiny footballs, basketballs, and track shoes. They-reallyāknocked out the Cheerios business. You krev;, of course, that Richard Burmeister and Raymond 1-orris are the managing partners of Nabis-co. It was their idea to make their oroduct in this shape honor-ir the fellow members of their class who won so many chamoion-sMns. Oh.' I almost for;ot what ] started to tell you, Lorene Stevens, who is now a famous Powers Yodel, was eating the cereal in the od. lorene has certainly made a name for herself. The radio in the next room is blarin'? so loudl J'm afraid that we are rein- to have to -e in and see what can be done. Some people have no consideration for their fellowmen when they are stayin' in a hotel. That's that.' We just ot back and you'll never guess who was playin the radio so loud, Itch richener.' Poor Jennie has had to resort to wearing a hearing aid, as the roar of the printing presses in her ma-azire ; publishing' house,- made' :her deaf. She sends free couies to Krs. Flack's History Classes since she has taken over the Atlantic Monthly. She has changed the name of it to The Pick and Shovel. By the way, the two voices on the radio were Jack Finley and Betty Johns. They have the leads in the Metropolitan production of the opera, La Traviata. We knew from Finley's Barber Shop singing that he had a nice voice, but Betty Johns was a big surprise. I guess there was more undiscovered talent in our class than we realized. Next day We just got bock from the reunion. Boy.' ā hat a mob, but I was glad to see all the old gang. 'e got there early so we could meet all the kids as thev arrived. First to arrive was Beastie Hinners who has lived up to her nickname. She is the CNJi AND ONLY STKCNG LADY of that fabulous Covered ā agon Cir-cas. She brought several of her colleagues with her--some of whom you'll remember. Gopher Jones is the barker for the circus sideshows. Their attraction is the lovely bubble dancer Jo-Jo whom you'll reca',l as Joan Frantz. They told us that they bad just arrived from their winter her.dnuarters at arjorie, Florida where Jay Bowles is running a resort for the nircus gang. Jay really enjoys it t ere because the climate 3 so warm. While we were waiting for some of the others to arrive, turned on the Television set. The program was a commentator's broadcast on Why We Should Eliminate Time by that faithful reporter of the Old Gold and Black Echoes, Don Rutan. He has taken over Sinclair Lewis' program while he is on his vacation. As we turned off the radio, we noticed it was the newest model put out by the Crosley, Ellis, and Freche Corporation. Just then we heard the faintly familiar voice of our old Debate Club friend, Phil Van Winkle, who is now President of the Chase National Bank of New York. With him were his receptionist and private secretary. At first I didn't recognize them and you'll never guess who they were. Edna Stoerger and Doris Dunwoodle ! Their shorthand and typing really paid off. Next to arrive were Jody Collins and Nancy Dean of Women at Vassar Rice. Jody was very enthusiastic about her Job as head coach at Yale because she's still as much a sport fan as ever. Nancy had on the most magnificent hat, so I had to ask her where she bought it. She said that on her way out she stopped over at the thriving metropolis of Hayes where Lilly Dache's assistant, Rosie Hausmann, had given her a private showing of next fall's fashions. The model was none other than Barb Hartman. At the sound of a guitar, I turned to see who was playing it. At first I thought it was Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, but to my surprise it was Orville West and Joanne Briggs. Maybe you've seen their latest picture The '49ers Do It Again. Such a surprise as we had! We thought Jean arid .Bill. Jones weren't going to be able to come, but they decided they could come out here before they go home. They are celebrating their winning of the Kentucky Derby. Isn't that wonderful! Their horse's name is Warrior. Jean immediately made a deal with Briggs and West to sell them a new horse. I guess Jean and Bill have one of the finest ranches in Montana and Bill says Jean does all the training of the horses. Well, it looks as if Bob Schrader won't be able to come out. We Just read in the paper that the elevator he runs in the Pentagon Building in Washington, D.C. has fallen and several were injured quite severely. Bob will have to remain in the hospital for some time because he broke his big toe and pulled the ligament in his little finger in the fall. His attending physician is Ferd Wilhelm. This is a little out of Ferd's line as his specialty is lungs, but I suppose for an old classmate he thought he would oblige. Helen Kennedy and Gertrude Layne are using their training as nurses to a good advantage. Helen is the head nurse and Gertrude is head surgical nurse in the hospital. I certainly hope Bob recovers as he is a vital asset to the building. .sks'ā¢! a the most popular In tr.e u.c . lous o r .pl rĀ«Ā v'vine SHAK3.

Such a I wonder if we really look reorint. I'm sure it's t;ie You may wonder by this time Just what is going on today. Well, The President of the United States, the Honorable Bill Matthews, has decided to hold his annual President's Ball in Los Angeles this year since we will all be here for our meeting and he didn't want to miss it. The President's secretary Just came to notify us that Mr.President has arrived with his secret service men, The private secretary was none other than Gert Jordan. We sure were glad to see her, and she tklked with us a long time before we finally remembered that it was the President who was waiting. When we all went downstairs, Bill was already surrounded by admirers. We asked him what he was planning to do about taxes. Bill told us that in his campaign platform he promised that if he should be elected President he would remove all taxes from the State of Illinois, since it was his home state. He will do this, but he has also decided to put a tax on all ladies who do not have forty-nine eyelashes. Just why, I do not know, but I guess the President knows best. Of all the luck, I know I have the most. We Just found out that the ship on which I am to leave will be leaving two days early, so I will be unable to go to the ball. From now on Betty will carry on and let you in on all the news (she will be very qualified to do so), and I will say good-bye to you and Jo. I hope that when I get back in the states again I will be able to come to see you. So long for now. Pat11 I'm continuing instead of wasting another three-cent stamp on another letter, but if I keep on writing I'm going to have to pay for the extra weight of it. I went down to see Pat, Cork, and the gang off. Believe it or not, I cried forty-nine tears; never thought I had it in me. I almost forgot to tell you that Cork is the head coach of the Fighting Illini who are entered in the Olympics. He says their getting to go was due to the fine line coaching of Moose McCarty. When I finally got them all on boardāteam and allā( I really hated to see that team go; I have taken such good care of them ). I was preparing to leave when up the gang plank came two of the most handsome sailors you have ever seen. I recognized them to be Tank Harbaugh and Bill Gee. I stopped to talk to them and found that they are the Captain and the chief deck-swab on the ship on which Pat is sailing. So I said farewell dear friends and came baok here. Now I am sitting with nothing to do. It has been several days since the above has been written. In the meantime I have been seeing the sights. I went to a show the other night and ran into the manager first thing. I was rather excited because the lady behind me put on my shoes when she was ready to leave. Hers were size 5$ and you know I can't wear those. Ihe manager was very nice about it and said he would see what he could do. I thought I recognized him and when I asked him his name he said it was Gene Hill. I then proceeded to spend some tire in the dime stores for the next day's pastime (You know I can never pass up a bargain). it was the most beautiful dime store I have ever seen. All around were roses, climbing vines, a blue wall with silver lighting effect. I thought it looked familiar and was just getting ready to compliment the manager, when one of the floorwalkers asked me why I was staring. When I told him, he said the managers were Patsy Davis and Marjorie Edwards. It looked ps if they were carrying out our old prom theme of 11 Moonlight and Roses.M Such an event that was'.!! Made me stop and cry. I don't know why i am so sentimental any more, but this time I cried ninety-four tears. I decided to stop and buy the newest hit song that was popular about ten years ago, and who do you think was spinning the records, none other than Chris Flesor. He didn't want to sell me the song I .ā vante-i because he sells nothing but Gershwin music. So now I am home with a record I know nothing about, just because Chris had such a persuasive manner. I trust his judgment thoughāyou remember he did all right with our class money when we were Juniors. In case you are interested, there are several of these stores all over the country. Ihey are called the P.M. stores, so you might look for one next time you go some place. A minute ago I received a cablegram from Pat. I must stop writing just a little while to read it.----āYou'll be so sur- prised when I tell you what she said. It seems as though Cork and Bill needed a little relaxation, so they stopped in Monte Carlo to try their luck. Ihey cleaned the joint out, but the manager didn't seem to want to pay off. He came the next day to where they were staying. He asked them if they would allow him a little more time. When they found out that he and his partner were none other then Bob Howard and Chuck Hiller, their old friends, they decided to let the matter go. (Ihey must have won a small fortune because Bob and Cl uck s6id they would have had to close up their business had they had to pay the debt.Pat also 88id that while they were going over they saw the new bridge that Wayne Meyer is constructing over the Strait of Gibraltar. She said it was the most beautiful work In engineering she had ever seen. (I didn't know she was an authority on suoh matters.) Well girls, I must bring this letter to a close as it is tire for me to leave. You know I have to be at the Olympics soon, but with all I have to do, it will take me some time.(I hope to find enough water for practice on the way overjlguess I could swim over, save a little expense).Madeline Rueter has just arrived and we will leave together. She is runnihg 'the torch to open the Olympics this year and I think that is the finest thing that one could do, if one could be that swift a runne rā¢ Laying all jokes aside, I have really enjoyed being out here this month, seeing all the kids again and hearing Just what each one is doing. All the fuss we made when we were in high school, about some small matter like deportment, or perhaps how much a certain game meant to everyone.All things like that seemedāand were so important to us then. Hit when you look back on them you realize that they were the biggest and best things that could happen to you. You had the mostfun then and all have agreed that if we had our lives to live ewer, we would do the same things again. So long for now, and the best of luck to you and yours. I hope that the next time the 49ers get together, you two will be able to be with us. It really has been swell--the best tire I'voJiad since Graduation Day and the Junior-Senior Reception. Just another '49er Betty Burress We hear this little tale about Chris Flesor that happened a few years back. Young Chris went to a party in a brand-new suit. .Then he came home, ragged holes had been cut into his suit with a pair of scissors. Ej_s mother gazed at him in consternation. 7 hat did you do to your new suit? she asked. ,Ye decided to play grocery store and I was the piece of swiss cheese.

As he was poised with his razor, ready to start, the mirrow fell unnoticed to the floor, just my luck, said the man, staring at the empty wall. My first day out and I cut my head off.
