The Music Department had an active and highly successful year during 1956-57. While the Chorus was preparing for the annual Christmas Concert on December 12, the Unity Marching Band played and marched for home football games. This band also marched in several parades including Western College Homecoming parade at Macomb, the Culver-Stockton College Home- coming parade at Canton, the Red Feather parade in Quincy, and the marching show performed at halftime at Blandinsville for the Northwestern High School Homecoming. They also marched and played at our Homecoming and performed during the half-time festivities. Janet Tieken was drum majorette; Judith Evans, Sandra Baker, and Judy Warning were the twirlers. For the first time, the band marched and performed with a color guard, trained by Larry Cornwell. Members of the color guard were Eddie Powell, Clara Corrigan, Ronald Cramm, Gerhard Jung, Maureen Caley, and Larry Harris. The band included fifty-five musicians. The Adams County Music Panorama was held December 5 with Unity students participating in the festival in band, ochestra, and chorus. The chorus was composed of 250 boys and girls of the county--forty-five of them Unity students. The joint Christmas Concert was performed by the mixed chorus of 93 voices and the band. The basketball season was a busy time for the band for they played at all the home games and for the Pep meetings. They also played for Parrack’s Pancake Day and for the Ursa Elevator Co-op meeting. The District Contest for the solo and ensemble entries for both chorus and band was held March 9. Unity musicians made considerable preparation for this event and earned 9 Superior, 17 Excellent, 12 Good and 2 Fair ratings. The Mixed Chorus and the Girls Chorus each won ratings of Excellent at the District Contest on April 5 and the Band won a Superior rating. 24 JAe Si cut d TOP: Ken Johnson, Judy Peter, Juanita Bellomy, Sylvia Turner, Sandra Naylor, Nancy Daugherty, Linda Donley, Sandra Holtman.

BOTTOM; Clara Corrigan, Larry Harris, Ronald Cramm, Eddie Powell, Maureen Caley, Larry CornwelL The 10 Superior ratings earned the right to go to Peoria on May 3 and 4 to compete in the State Finals. The solo and ensemble entries competed on May 3 and therefore, stayed overnight in Peoria at the New National Hotel where it seemed that a good time was had by all! The band arrived in Peoria the following day for their competition among the 26 other Class B bands in the state. The ratings of the State Contest are shown on the Competitive Awards page. The annual Spring Concert was given April 28 by the band and choruses--mixed, contest mixed, and girls’. Featured at the concert was the Madrigal Singers, “Prof” K. Johnson, and “Concerto for a one-armed Paperhanger,” Mary Ellen Carolan on the clarinet, Judy Simon on the cornet, and one number each by the two brass quintets. The afternoon was also high- lighted by the presenation of a school band flag by the Music Boosters. The music students and parents enjoyed a delicious Potluck Supper on the evening of May 6 with a sizeable attendance. The band performed a Jazz Concert for the high school student body and teachers on May 15. This was the first time this type of concert had been given. Since it was so well received, it may become an annual event. The music for the Baccalaureate exercises was provided by the Girls’ Chorus and a Mixed Ensemble, the Contest Mixed Chorus and the Unity Band, without the senior members, furnished music for Commencement.

Each year, in the Spring, the Science-Camera Club and the Yearbook Staff hold a dance in the gymnasium. This is strictly a money-making yet have a lot of fun event. Each year a different name is chosen for the dance and the chosen ones are crowned with a name suitable to the theme of the dance. Each class elects one boy to represent them and the one having the highest penny vote is named winner. He in turn names the girl to be crowned with him. The Yearbook Staff is basically composed of four members of each class. Early each year two freshman boys and two freshman girls are chosen by the staff to join them and to remain throughout their four years in school. A photographer and art editor are selected also, making the present staff number eighteen members. All members may be identified by pins which were issued for the first time this year. In addition to planning and compiling the Yearbook, members of the Staff also service the candy machines and prepare a Homecoming Float. 34 -1 Sjysdn fatUCXA. PRES. Jerry Stone V. PRES. SECY TREAS.

The first project of the Girls’ Athletic Association was an overnight camping trip at Baker’s Beach at Hamilton—this was later called “Station COLD” because the weather was just that. Thirty-six girls and four counselors, Mrs. Dale Donley, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Emmert, and Mrs. Peek, reported a grand time in spite of the weather. Next came bowling and swimming at Quincy. Eighty girls bowled a 20-team Round Robin Tournament at the Casino.

Russel Lewis, representing the faculty, presented Mr. and Mrs. Waters with a gift and wished them success and happiness in their new location, Maywood, Illinois. Mr. Waters became principal of Unity High School when it was organized in 1948-49 and has ably served in that capacity since that time. It is with regret that we see the Waters family leave this community. Mr. and Mrs. Waters graciously entertained the faculty at Open House after Commence- ment on May 24. 43 5L (Z. The Unity Chapter of the Future Farmers' of America for 1956 and 1957 was made up of 70 members, carrying 109 productive Projects with a market valuation of $35,000. These pro- jects were owned by individuals. As in previous years, the Farm Shop has been well utilized. Among the projects of the year were building picnic tables for the Mendon city park and assisting in the construction of street markets for Mendon. A number of projects were built for farmers of the district and to close the year, a permanent building was erected for the school to replace two old and unsight- ly ones.

The gym was attactively decorated for the “ Fantasyland Ball” which has become an annual event. The mothers of the members were remembered at Christmas with gifts of organdy aprons. These aprons, as well as candy and cookies, were made by the F. H. A. members. On March 23, a busload of members journeyed to Pittsfield High School for the annual F. H. A. Spring Rally. Many schools from this section of the state attended this meeting which was both interesting and educationaL Two money-making activities were sponsored during the year. These were a bake sale on March 30, and a skating party on April 2. The final event of the year is one looked forward to by the members and their mothers alike. This event is the Mother-Daughter banquet and Style Show. The stage in the gymnasium was attractively decorated as a garden party and furnished a nice setting for the style show giver by the members modeling dresses made in their homemaking classes. The Homemaking II and in classes conducted a Play School of pre-school children of the community over a period of two weeks. 46 Class of Pre-School Children Freshman F H A Initiation 47 8 td Qtuule Qxaduatea, Each spring, a day in May is set aside for the girls and boys who are completing the eight grades of school work in the Unit (Fowler, Lima, Loraine, Mendon, Ursa) to visit with the high school.

Qlaa 9tLstoxif, In the fall of 1953, 71 shy, green-eyed Freshmen started their high school career at Unity. Among us were four sets of twins and all of them have remained to graduate with us. Ursa sent us Bill and Bob Frazier and Dianne and Deanne Daugherty. Larry and Mary Lou Miller came from Loraine and th Heubner girls, Connie and Carol, came from Mendon. All of these boys and girls were born in Adams County and attended school here. We elected Bob Frazier as President; John Murphy, Vice-President; Daryl Waite, Secretary; and Bill Frazier, Treasurer. John Emmert represented us in Student Council and Kenneth John- son reported news for the class. Our sponsors were Mrs. Carver and Miss Poynter. The class acted as host on March 8 to 12 to the Freshmen of surrounding schools at the annual Freshman Basketball Tournament held in the Unity Gymnasium. Janet Tieken, Beverly Wiedmyer, Anita Rhinberger, and Pat Donley were our freshman cheerleaders. Wayne Wyatt and Beverly Wiedmyer were selected to represent the Freshman Class as King and Queen of the Cherry Hop presented by the Annual Staff and Camera Club. In 1954, 66 Sophomores enrolled at Unity. We chose Wayne Wyatt as our President and John Emmert was our Veep. Mary Ellen French was our Treasurer and Bevejly Wiedmyer our Sec- retary. Gary McAllister was our Representative on Student Senate and Daryl Waite did the Re- porting. During our Sophomore year wehad a skating party and a class party.

As our officers this year we chose, John Emmert as President and Jack Jones for Vice-President and Carol Heubner and Karen Andrew were our Secretary and Treasurer. Roger Voorhis acted as Reporter and Connie Heubner represented us on Student Senate. As our project of the year, we sold magazines. We broke all records by selling $2,165. Our float won first prize in the Homecoming Parade with, “When you wish upon a star, as our theme. In January we sponsored the “Frosted Frolic” as the annual Junior Dance. In April, we presented the Junior Class Play, “Something’s Cookin.” OiMay 12, we acted as host to the Seniors, Faculty, and Board Members at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom held in Rushville.

Bonnie Ehmen joined our class from Carthage High SchooL We again won first prize for our float in the Homecoming Parade with the theme, “We came. We saw. We conquered.’’ Lee Cantrell was elected by the student body to be the Home- coming Queen. We presented theSenior Class Play, Bolts and Nuts,” in November. In February, we sponsored the “Snowflake Serenade.” On May 11, we were the guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom held at the Mark Twain Hotel in Hannibal. Patsy Jo Rutledge and Leonard Morley were chosen King and Queen of the Prom. As in the preceding years, two more members of our class, Hubert Staff and Karen Andrew, were elected Top Banana and Marianne at the dance sponsored by the Annual Staff and Science Club. Another Senior, Mary Lou Miller, was chosen to be the F.F.A. Sweetheart. This class night program, the theme of which is, “Garden of Dreams,” is our last given in the Unity High Gymnasium. Our colors are lavender and white and as our flower, we have chosen the orchid. The mono selected by the class is “Dare to be Different.” On May 24, 54 Seniors, will walk across the stage to receive our diplomas. This will end our high school career. 59 Seniah, SW Here we are again for another flash of interplanetary news. For this covers only the most important global happenings. But first, the weather: The weather on earth is still there. It may rain by noon in some places. Others may have a cold wave, and sleet or snow. On the other hand, a warm current of air may‘sweep up from the earthly tropics, and it will be very warm at other places. Either look for the weather to remain much as it is; or look for a sudden change. With us, we shall be going through a vacuum for some hours yet. No change until we get close to the moon. And now, for the news of national, and international and interplanetary interest. This is SHARON CHRISTNER and DEANNE DAUGHERTY reporting even if I do say it, we are about the best newscasters on the air--and we are generally up in the air so far as the news goes. DARYL WAITE--leading chemist of today, with laboratories on an island in the Pacific, reports in a news release, that an important new fluid has been discovered near the.island which scientists have stated closely resembles water, and has the formula H206. At the rocket ship races today, GARY MC ALL 1STER won the thousand mile relay-dash by defeating his nearest competitor, MARION PARRACK. One hundred ninety thousand people taxed the capacity of JACK JONES’ Stadium; San Francisco, California, to see the run off. One of the biggest real estate deals of international importance has just been closed. RICHARD FRAZIER, capitalist of New York, purchased a ranch in the Amazon River in South America. The price is reported to be nine billion dollars. LEYLAND HENZE—Mayor of Rock City, Mars, will run again for office. He is closing his second term, which has been marked by petty bickering among his official family. The city treasurer accuses the city clerk of stealing five postage stamps from him. JOANNE HAISTINGS, the president of RHINBERGER University, has announced that the school will no longer require students to attend classes. A recent survey has shown that it students attend classes, the teachers must also attend classes. This overworks the teachers. The most important person of the year, according to the 1977 poll, which has just been completed is BONNIE EHMEN. Basis of the award Is the wonderful service that Bonnie has rendered to field mice in seeing that the farmers raised plenty of crops to feed them. Best seller in the literary field is that widely read book by the famous author, MARILYN DEDERT. It is an exciting story which the author has written of the last expedition to Saturn, giving for the first time all the thrilling adventures of those who made the trip. It is being published by the firm of HEUBNER and HEUBNER WAYNE WYATT and DONNIE DEDERT, famous engineers have been employed to build the new airport on Venus. The unique airport was designed by the wellknown architect, JOHN MURPHY. Several persons have just announced they are charting a special space ship to explore the canals of Mars next summer. They are ROGER VOORHIS, LARRY FESSLER, LEONARD MORLEY, JIM SKIRVEN, and DALE ELLERBROCK. BELL KNAPP, BOB and BELL FRAZIER have entered government service to train for Space Cadets. They have been on the Milky Way Patrol. A troup of entertainers have left for a tour of the work camps on the secret government projects on Mars. The group includes singer, PEGGY MURRY, Comedians, DIANNE DAUGHERTY and KAREN ANDREW and musician JUDITH SIMON. HUBERT STAFF is now the world wide Weather Forecaster. New underground passage across the Atlantic is to be opened June 1st. The first tunnel to span the Atlantic Ocean will be put into use this summer. Speed ships will zip through the tunnel at the rate of 500 miles per hour. While planes in the air are making the trip in 22 hours across the water, the hazard of flying will be counteracted by the safety of the tunnel. It is estimated that 2,000,000 travelers will go across the ocean before the end of the year in the tunnel cars. Among those going in July are MARY ELLEN FRENCH, BEVERLY WIEDMYER, LAWANA NICHOL and PATSY JO RUTLEDGE. 60 Seniox ftioftfiecy. A patent has been granted to THOMAS TRIBBETT under patent number 456789324, for a new silent alarm clock, anything to take the noise out of the world. Chief Engineer JOHN EMMERT has been decorated by five countries already for thic engineering feat which is considered the greatest undertaken by civilized men. Ch, here is a new heavyweight champion, JOHN REITER He knocked out the feather- weight champ in a half round last night. At the end of the first half round the referee stepped in and stopped one of the most fierce and hard pounding fighters of the ring. The round was just one-fourth over when it was evident that John would be the champ. The crowd began cheering and yelling. At Colorado Springs LORETTA VANDER MAIDEN’S horse came in first. Old Fleefast certainly made all the otfcer horses take to tall timber. With BILL ROBBINS as jockey, evidently the race was in the purse before the horses started. What is new on Wall Street? Millionaire BILL STEINER heads Wall Street’s largest bank. The Chicago Whitesocks have just bought the Burlington Blues. According to this, PAUL MYERS will be the new manager. A new show right from New York will be on a world wide broadcast. LEE CANTRELL heads the show. The song hits are by JANET TIEKEN. New life insurance company names LARRY MILLER President; and MARY LOU MILLER Secretary. EVALYN FLINT--new owner of the World’s Largest Restaurant will have a grand opening EULA RAYE SILL is now Miss Hostess on her own T.V. Show. There is a new children’s show on T.V. which stars Uncle BOB MILLER and his famous bedtime stories. SUE AGARD and DOROTHY MC CREADY now wirte their own funnies called “Silly Folks” in a leading newspaper. Airplanes are getting cheap. Here’s a sale on them. $1.69 each. That new invention of RON MONROE’S certainly gave everyone an airplane. They’re thicker than flies now. Think what they used to cost. PAT DONLEY is now writing colorful advertisements for NANCYANN HYER’S drug store. There is now a new newspaper called the Interplanetary Gazette published by KENNETH JOHNSON. He’s about one of the leading publishers of the nation. And for now, this is Deanne Daugherty and Sharon Christner signing off with another broad- cast 20 years ahead of its day. It is now 10 minutes and 41 seconds past 10 o’clock. May 17, 1977. 61 Senio .
