The story of Urb and Ana, their classes, their activities, and their ath- letics have been com tiled to provide a vivid remembrance of many happy days. We, the members of the Rosemary staff, have dedicated ourselves to portraying school life in such a nay that the Rosemary may help you re-live those pleasant memo- ries in Urbana High in years to come. administration I Our Superintendent Mr. C. C. Ix ew The Superintendent’s Four Year Progress Report is- sued June JO. 1952 showed continuous improvement in the educational program and physical facilities of the I’rbana School system. This current year the Hoard of Education has continued to give attention to housing the increased number of pupils and to the improvement of our educational program. Dur- ing the year, members of the school stall' have made presen- tations to the Hoard in the areas of the work of the administrative offices, administrative responsibilities and procedures, tin teaching of our American Heritage, tin maintenance of our physical plant, remedial work in the schools, testing and procedures, and the teaching of moral and spiritual values. in September, 1952 tin new Flossie Wiley Elementary School was placed in operation with a capacity enrollment. Work on the Urbana Junior High School is progressing and it is expected this building will be ready for use iu September, 1953. On February 14, 1953 the citizens of the District ap- proved a bond issue of $440,000 to construct a twelve-room addition to the new Flossie Wiley School and an addition of four rooms to tin- Washington School. An increase in the educational tax rate from $1.11 to $1.33 was also ap- proved in order to maintain our present standards and to staff the new facilities. The Parents’ Post, begun this year and issued weekly witli news from all the schools, has proved of interest. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated—Prof. K. .1. Filbcy, Prof. 11. T. Scovill. Mrs. E. M.

Vet. we would not have you remain with us. You are blessed with youth and you have the world before you. Though it is a complex, dangerous world, it is also glorious and exciting, and you have made progress toward establishing a place for yourself. Don’t he content with your accomplishment. The complacent and the con- tented rarely have lofty goals. Strive to make your graduation the beginning and not the end of your attainment. I wish you success and happiness in all your endeavors.

It's Frb with a diploma. And Ana with a tear. It can't be that they're seniors, Hut I fear that such is Fate. Four years hare rolled by all too soon, Xow they must graduate. The Seniors of I'rbana High face with much regret the time to say “Good- bye.” Some of us soon will be in other parts of the world as we answer our call to our Country. Others will be earning our own living in various fields of work and still others will continue our education in colleges or universities. We are proud of our record in I'rbana High our athletes, our scholars, our leaders, and rank and file of our class. We hope we have left behind a part of our spirit, intangible as it may lx , as well as our gift as a class to the school. Some of our initials in the lookers, the further wearing of the steps of the tower —all will assure us that future seniors will never forget us completely. We will never forget our four short years in I'rbana High, the activities, tin assemblies, the very good times we had. Our memories will hold fast the The members of the Cabal campaign assembly pause long enough for a picture. I 16 Tin 1053 Rosemary So fan well I'rb and Ana. We hale to see non go.

Their skillful teach- ing and their kind and thoughtful help with our many problems has provided an excellent background of knowledge and understanding for whatever the future may have in store for us. For the last official time, we walk out below the three wise owls; thus we leave I’rbana High with all its memories, but we look to the future with confidence.

Even though our senior year will be crowded with more work, happy and interesting activi- ties and events, it seems now that our junior year has been the finest. We entered school last fall awaiting the ar- rival of our class rings which, for the first time in school history, were ordered in the Spring of the preceding year. Our class, noted for its in- dependence, staged a “write-in-vote” campaign during class elections and elected as our officers.

The junior boys , ' ‘ 1 in all school athletic activities and the girls dominated the cheerleading. We took part in every available activity in school and accepted our share of re- sponsibility in them. We enjoyed our classes. Sometimes we had too much fun a few of us occasionally forgot that grades were important ! Of course the junior gills had innumerable slumber parties- these were strictly for the purpose of study and sleep. Any talk that they were otherwise was idle rumor! Mr. William Senn, our junior class adviser, left I'rbana High at the end of the first semes- ter and we presented him with all electric shaver. He had been in our school for five years and everyone was sorry that he left us. The junior girls had an unusual experience with their Spring Vice- Versa dance, “An Irish Holiday.” It was scheduled for the Garden Room of the I'rbana Lincoln Hotel but heavy rains caused the room to be flooded. However, after much con- fusion and a few wet feet, the dance was a success in the Hunt Room of the Hotel. Thirty-two juniors were initiated into Psi, Junior Honorary, an achievement demonstrating the scholastic ability of our class. The 1053 Rosemary 31 05812912 Junior MR.

Like most sopho- more classes we had a lot of fun teasing and confusing the new green freshmen. We all took great pride in the school and had unbounded enthusiasm in the different school organizations. We were very well represented in all fields of athletics. Our reserve football team had an un- defeated season. A few boys were awarded var- sity letters. We were equally proud of tin boys participating in cross country. Rex Whitlatch won the state wrestling championship in tin 103-pound class. The peppy sophomore cheer- ing section whole-heartedly supported the vari- ous sports. Many of us were active on the Rose man and Echo staffs and Student Council. Members of our class belonged to (!. A. A.. S. K., F. II. A., Junior Red Cross and International Language Club. Many sophomores joined Delta Sigma and got parts in both plays, “I Remember Mama” and Arms and the Man.” Others of the class of ’• • belonged to band, orchestra, and chorus.

There were one hundred seventy-three of us, all meek and very bright green, being introduced to our home for the next four years. The first frustrating days of school taught us that the first floor was the second, that we did not know where all the rooms were, and that upperclassmen were sup- posed to impress us. We were welcomed to the Tiger's Den by the Freshmen Frolic, where a few of us braved the dance floor. Those from our class elected to par- ticipate on the Tiger's Den Council wore Penny Holt.

At the close of the assembly the holder of a lucky tag was awarded a free Rose- nuiry. Another highlight of the year was the crown- ing of the Hoscmary Queen at the annual Christ- mas Dance. Cnder the leadership of Ad Manager Craig Webber, this year’s ad staff collected $1800 of advertising. Kay Evans was responsible for hand- ling till of the subscription money and attending to all of the business of the book.

Every two weeks (luring tin school year, news of 1‘IIS is published in Crbana Iligh’s newspaper. The Echo. This year’s paper, sponsored by Mr. Stanley Hynes and edited by co-editors, Marina Steggerda and Sherrill Ilodson, not only gave the current news about I IIS club activities, sports, and gossip, but also carried photos of school leaders and special stories about school events. -Much work was involved in putting out each issue of Tlu Echo. The editors were ably assisted Echo by news editor, Sally Bills: feature editor, Shar- lene Mock; and sports editor, Bill Fisch. These people were responsible for assigning the reporters to cover special items, and seeing that these assign- ments were completed to meet the deadline. After the stories were in. the staff typed, copy read, and headlined them. The stories were then sent to the Daily Illini Printing Company on the Campus. A day later, a dummy issue was laid out with the galley proofs and then sent back to the Illini. On the following day, four page proofs had to be read and errors corrected before the entire paper could he printed. In the newspaper world, finance and circulation are equally important. Xeoma Muesing and the advertising staff worked hard to solve the paper’s financial problems by selling advertising. Circulation manager, Shirley Whitt, was in «‘barge of putting the newpapers in the lockers, selling Echoes at noon and sending them to out-of- town subscribers and other high schools in the state. Last fall, several members of the Echo staff at- tended tin Illinois State High School Press Associ- ation Convention on the I , of I. campus. They heard special talks, saw displays of other high school newspapers, and brought back many ideas to help make the Echo a better paper. ADVERTISING STAFF: Row 1- Muesing, Hodges.

For the first time, an eight-page Christmas issue containing holiday stories and poems was issued. Another special Echo was handed out tin day before spring vacation. It was the first April Fool's edition the staff had put out for several years. This edition proved to be quite novel and was enjoyed by most of the students. The Echo staff especially, received great pleasure in editing the April Fool’s issue. After the new staff was announced late in April, they put out a trial issue. Then both the old and new staff worked together for the eight-page issue in the spring honoring the graduating seniors. About thirty regular reporters composed the edi- torial staff. These students came to the Echo meet- ings. received their assignments from their respec- tive editors and then fulfilled these tasks, usually meeting the deadline, which is a week from the time they receive their assignments.

This year Kx Libris and Audio-Visual Clubs merged into one organization known as tin Library Club. Since tin objective of both groups is to pro- vide additional material for the students and teach- ers. it was decided that they should unite into one club having two separate ’ , ‘ s, the Library Department, and the Audio-Visual Department. In the Library Department, student assistants work in the library during their study periods. Some of their jobs are helping cheek books in and out. cleaning and straightening the book shelves, and getting material for students. Those in Audio-Visual operate the projector, film-strip machine, and other equipment during the day for teachers. They also show films at meet- ings. banquets, and assemblies. To earn money this year, the club sponsored two movies at the Princess Theatre, held a dance in the gym. carried on a “Noon Movies Program,” and received part of the money from refreshments sold at the football games. A few of the highlights of the year were holding formal and informal initiations, sponsoring the Spring Inspection Trip, being host to the District Library Assistants Association, and taking the Spring Trip to the Shades Park for all club mem- bers and their guests.

Once again Delta Sigma helped sponsor “The Christmas Frolic, Crbana High School’s annual holiday dance. In January, a record number of fifty-three stu- dents made the long journey to Chicago, where they saw Dial ‘.1 ’ For Murder, a suspense-filled mystery drama portraying the story of a man who thought he had committed the perfect crime. A fitting climax to the club's twenty-sixth year, one of the best of Delta Sigma’s, was the impres- sive initiation of thirty new members, held jointly with the Thespian initiation in May. Delta Sigma, the speech and dramatics club of Urbana High School is open to all students inter- ested in the speech arts. The five points required for membership may be earned by participation in plays and work on play committees or club activities.

Mama, Papa, the Aunts, and Fnele Chris were born in Norway, but the Hansen children. Katrin, Xels, Christine, and Dagmar, are native Americans. The play tells by flashbacks some of the family jokes and crises. Mama keeps the “bossy” aunts from laugh- ing at Aunt Trina when she gets engaged to Mr. Thorkelson, the timid undertaker. Dagmar, the youngest daughter, develops a mastoid and must be operated on at once. In order to see her. Mama poses as a scrub woman to get past the nurse at the clinic. 1'nele Chris, tin crippled family patri- arch of whom all but Mama are afraid, is near death and Mama and the aunts are called. They learn that he has used his money to help crippled children. Mr. Hyde, the family roomer, skips out without paying for his room and board, but leaves his books and therefore. Mama feels, leaves the family richer. Surprises at the end of the play include the revelation that Mama’s bank account, which makes the family feel “secure” did not exist; that Eliza- beth, Dagmar s black cat, is really “I'ncle Eliza- beth”; and that Katrin’s first successful story as an author is the story of the play.

In addition she has made drama one of the most popular activities at 1'IIS as evidenced by the fact that more than one hun- dred students have earned Thespian or Delta Sigma points this year. Miss Dryden has also succeeded in imparting to her students an appreciation of the values of the theater, a field with which many of them would otherwise have had little or no contact. But. more than any other factor, it is Miss Dry- den’s personality, her vivaciousness, persistence and patience that makes dramatics a valuable and enjoyable experience for all who take part in it. The annual Thespian play presented by group 161 was that famous old melodrama “The Drunk- ard” or “The Fallen Saved.” It told the tale of Edward Middleton, an upright young man who be- came a drunkard under the evil urgings of the villainous Lawyer Cribbs. Maddened by drink, Ed- ward deserted his lovely wife, Mary, and child. Julia, and fled to New York. Mary followed, but unable to find him, lived in dire poverty in the city. Edward’s foster brother William Dowton finally arrived just in time to foil the romantic machina- tions of Cribbs and locate the errant Edward, who returned to his family vowing never to drink again.

Individuals who com- peted were Karen Hultzen in poetry reading; Terry Sands, comedy reading; Wilma Eskew, district champion in oratorical declamation; JoAnn Wil- liamson. sectional champion in original monologue; Roger Fitz-Gerald and George Douglas. The contest play, “The Safecracker’s Pride,” was an airy farce requiring the ultimate in charac- terization and original interpretation to be pro- duced successfully. John Darv (George Douglas), an expert though unappreciated safecracker, is fascinated by the charms of bis intended victim, the widowed Mrs. Janice Robinson (Karen Hultzen). Janice also is interested in John and so docs not expose him when Officer Dixon Fiske (Roger Fitz- Gerald), an aged Irish patrolman, drops in while on duty. Eventually John is persuaded to give up bis work and become manager of a machine shop by Janice who is confident that many uses will be found for bis varied “abilities.” Others in the cast were JoAnn Williamson as Mrs. Robinson’s niece, Emily, and Ann Gallagher as her sister. Marian. At the state contest JoAnn Williamson competed with “Life Struck Sharp oil Death,” while the play which had previously taken two second places ranked sixth. George Douglas and Karen Hultzen were honored for their acting ability by member- ship in the All-State Cast. All of the points at state were scored by two members of the group; Roger Fitz-Gerald who placed second with his original oration. “Salem—1953” and George Doug- las who became a state champion with his reading of “Mr. Roberts.” SPEECH CONTEST TEAM Row —Karen Hult .en.

Band I’rbana High is justly proud of its band and its director, James Gross. The band not only has marched at athletic contests and «riven concerts, but also ranked high in District and State contests. This fine group has had an active part in many other school and community functions. The band marched and played for seven football games, two of them out of town. During the year this organization was privileged to provide march music for both Governor Steven- son and General Dwight Kisenhower during their campaign stops here. According to tradition, the I'HS band took part in the community Armistice and Memorial Day observances. To give every band member an opportunity to play regularly, the band was divided into two pep bands. One was called the black band, the other the orange. These two pep bands alternated in providing music for pep assemblies and basketball games. Two spendiri concerts by the entire band, one in the winter, the other in the spring, offered varied music programs which were thoroughly enjoyed by large crowds attending. To climax a most successful year, the band played brilliantly for commencement.

With three years of experience, the orchestra performed at several varied programs for Thanksgiving. P.T.A., and Baccalaureate. The orchestra cooperated with the chorus in presenting the Christinas Concert and the Spring Musical. In April, the group traveled to Bradley University at Peoria, for the Big 12 Music Festival. Taking part in the District Contest this year was a newly formed string quartet, com- posed of Margo Sullivan, Shirley Strode. .Julia Hubbard, and Elizabeth Hubbard. Also, a cello solo was given by Margo Sullivan. Both entrants received a superior rating and advanced to the state contest. This year a merit point system was started, enabling those who met the requirements to obtain a letter. For 1,000 points, a minor was awarded, and for 2,000 points, a major was awarded. The Orchestra, though small, had a con- genial membership who enjoyed playing to- gether. Hi the coming year, the group is looking forward to an increased number of members and with them, still more pleasure.

Vivace has progressed well under the capable leadership of .Miss Eunice liixman. This girl’s organization of sixty selected members met every Wednesday after school practicing on music which they sang for concerts throughout the year. During the fall, try-outs were held for the Vivace Trio. This resulted in a very fine trio consisting of Pat Costa, Phyllis ('ox, and Marina Steggerda. However, during tin winter, Karen Ilarstad filled the vacancy caused when Pat left school. This year Vivace held its first initiation ceremony for new members. After the informal initiation and supper, an impressive candle-light service was conducted by the officers. For the annual Christmas Concert, Vivace added to the program by singing several selections. To bring the year to a grand close, the girls worked extra hard in putting on their annual Vivace Spring Social. The theme, “Garden of Melodies” was woven into fin singing as well as into the decorations for the social held in the gym follow- ing the concert. At the entrance to the gym was an arbour covered with paper pastel flowers, while inside flowers were scattered profusely about. The highlight of the decorations was a miniature pool in a rock garden, placed in the center of the gym. Officers Row 1- Ilarstad, Slade, Malvorson, President; Eskew. Bow i—Hickerson.

The department presented special programs for tin� pleasure of parents, friends, and students. Also, they appeared in Christ- mas and Kaster assemblies. This year a large mixed chorus met each third hour, taking the place of the former a cappella choir. The 1 Iarmonettes. a new group composed of Vivace members of superior ability, sang on several programs. The boys’ ensemble, meeting dur- ing Tuesday and Thursday noon hours, met chiefly for the enjoyment of singing, although they did take part in a few programs during the year. A fine trio, composed of Marina Steggerda, Phyllis Cox, and Pat Costa, won much recognition. After the beginning of second semester, Karen Harstad filled the vacancy left by Pat. Xot too well known this year was the freshman trio, Janis Johansen, Penny Unit, and Carol Ann Hay. They will be known better in the next three years. On April 11, the vocal department traveled to Bradley Pniversity at Peoria for the Big Twelve annual Music Festi- val. The mass chorus of 1.000 students was conducted by I)r. Harry R. Wilson of New York, New York. In the District contest at Charleston, the vocal department entered the trio and two soloists. Bob Whalin, who won first Superior and State; and Phyllis Cox, who won first Superior. The madrigals, newly organized in April, appeared at the concert, along with the mixed chorus and the orchestra, April 23. We are all proud and pleased of the accomplishments made by Miss Rixman in her first year at Crbana High. HARMONETTKS Itow I -Seiler, Williamson, Gam- mon. Row i Beaird, Bell Strode.

In liis eighth year at Urbana High, Gene Anner has been a capable athletic director and has turned out many fine track and cross country teams. His willingness to help has made him well- liked by all. Liz Astroth, head basketball coach for three years and football mentor for two, has shown excellent ability in getting the most out of his players, and is always popular. Under Liz, Urbana has had its most successful season in 10 long years. Reserve Coach Woody Viseur completed another successful year in grooming underclassmen for future varsity work in football and basketball. Woody was also head golf coach. A favorite with the entire student body was Nate Johnson in his second year as head wrestling and football line coach. Nate molded his second straight Rig Twelve championship in wrestling and was responsible for the terrific Tiger line that was so instru- mental in the fine grid season. As swimming coach for the third year in a row, Harry Ryan turned out his most successful tank team. Under Harry's capable tutelage, the swimmers are slowly becoming a power in the Rig Twelve and Harry is becoming a swimming fan.

Although it has been said that being a manager is an easy way to win a letter, this is just the opposite of the real thing. Some of the duties of the managers are carrying water to the teams, passing out clean equipment, giving rub-downs, and just about anything else that lias to be done. A lot of credit is certainly due Bob Cook, our head manager, and all the boys under him. FOOTBALL MANAGERS: Row I—Norton, Gillespie, Clinard. Row 2- Elliot, Cook, Chapman.

T. ROBERTSON ‘ ‘ Outstanding blocker ’ ’ DAVE LOWRY ‘ R ugged lincma n ’' The Urbana football Tigers completed their sec- ond straight winning season under the skillful tute- lage of Coach Liz Astroth. This one was far more satisfying, as il was climaxed by an inspiring tri- umph over Urbana s bitter crosstown rivals, the Champaign Maroons, ending a 10-year Urbana drouth in the Twin City series. The Bengals fin- ished fifth in the Big Twelve conference race with a 2-3 record, and accomplished a 5-4 overall mark. The season opened at home with a smashing win over Rantoul, 26-0. Led by Jim Johnson’s 92 yards in 13 tries for a 7.1 average, the Tigers completely swamped the visitors. (Maude Linford scored the first touchdown of the season on a seven-yard sprint in the second period ; Johnson added two more; and reserve quarterback John Mock completed the scor- ing. Johnson’s first touchdown was an 85-vard gallop with the second-half kickoff. The second win came on Urbana McKinley Field against Georgetown’s Buffaloes. Johnson again was in the scoring column gaining 195 yards from scrimmage and setting up the first Tiger score on the 12 late in the second period. Quarterback Ralph Campbell, who played a brilliant all-around game, passed to Dick Ilegenbart for the score. In the third period Campbell iced the game with a quar- terback sneak to pay dirt. A major factor in the game, as it was all season, was the terrific Tiger line, tackling and blocking viciously—and permanently. Urbana suffered their first disappointment when they traveled to Danville to open the Big Twelve season. The Tigers played an inspired game, but dropped several payoff passes and couldn’t seem to gain when it was needed most. The Streaks cov- ered Jim Johnson effectively, and Dick Ilegenbart took over the running chores, averaging seven yards on 11 tries. Ralph Campbell again sparkled at the general’s spot. The Bengals copped their first Big Twelve win in the Homecoming game against Mattoon, 20-0. The defensive squad again shone, stopping the Wave’s heralded passing attack cold, and bucking their ground attack when it was necessary. Jim Johnson and Dick Ilegenbart led the ground attack with 139 yards between them. The Tigers took the opening kickoff and in three plays Johnson put the oval across the line. In the second frame Camp- bell passed to end Earl I lad field from the nine in the end zone. A 33-yard scamper by Johnson and a 22-yard Campbell-to-IIegenbart. aerial set the stage for Johnson’s second score. Jimmy Elam converted two of three extra points. Although Danville Schlarmann brought a line which outweighed the Tigers ten pounds per man, Urbana racked up their fourth win in five tries by a decisive 26-12 count. The Bengals opened up with a 12-point first quarter and coasted in from there. After intercepting a Ililltopper pass on their 36, Urbana split the visitors’ giant line and went all the way to the eight, from where Johnson scored. Immediately afterwards, the Tigers took a Schlarmann quick-kick and again marched through the Hilltoppers to score. Dick Ilegenbart took the ball over. In each of the final two quarters Urbana registered touchdowns, one on the ground and the other through the air. Claude Linford led a third period drive with his speedy running to the seven. Johnson took it over from there. In the 92 The 1053 Rosemary Lettermen DICK REIN HOLD ‘ Most aggressive' ’ WAYNE BUSBOOM ‘ ‘ If tiling ’ ’ fourth, Ralph Campbell, who also played an out- standing defensive game, opened up his passing attack for the final Tiger score. Jim Elam grabbed his pass from the nine for the touchdown and con- verted the extra point. On the following Friday, Urbana returned to conference competition against a fast, powerful crew from Decatur. The Reds stayed on the ground throughout the game, trying only two unsuccess- ful passes in a 26 to 14 win. Rig guns were Don Kraft and Jim Perry, who gained upwards of 360 yards and scored three touchdowns between them. Claude Linford and Jim Johnson led the downs and gaining most of the yardage. Johnson counted first from the six. after Linford had sprinted 37 yards to set it up, and Claude scored in the third period on a similar 37-vard gallop. Next, Kankakee’s Kays, who broke last year’s six-game Tiger win streak, hosted the revenge- minded Bengals. But, without ace linemen L. T. Robinson and John Johnson, the Tigers failed to hold the Kays, and the hosts drove to a 21 to 7 victory. Crbana couldn’t score until the final sec- onds when Jim Johnson unleashed a couple of desperation passes—the final one, 21 yards to Dick Hegenbart in the end zone. On Hallowe’en night. Champaign McKinley Field was the scene of the annual grudge—the battle between Champaign and Crbana. For the last ten years the game had gone to Champaign and it was favored to win this time. But the Fight- ing Tigers didn’t read the papers. The second time they got the ball, they pushed to the Champaign 11), from where quarterback Ralph Campbell flipped a screen pass to R. A. Rasner for the score. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Tigers launched a drive from their own 43 for their sec- ond score. The push was capped by Jim Johnson’s off-tackle smash from the 12. Crbana so dominated the first-half play that Champaign had a total offense net of •’ yards. In the fourth quarter, Cr- bana again scored with Dick Hegenbart ending a drive which began deep in Crbana territory. Jim Elam converted all three extra points to give Crbana a 21 to 0 lead. Champaign finally scored when Ron Koch caught a desperation pass from Chuck Schrader on the 40 and ran the rest of the way. Crbana out-gained Champaign 243-106 yards in the 21 to 6 upset. Crbana finished out the season by traveling to Pekin. The Tigers, feeling a little lackadaisical after their victory over Champaign, walked into a 47 to 7 barrage from the Chinks. Although this season will be looked back on as the year we beat Champaign, it was a good season all the way through. The boys gave their best every game and never gave up.

Lrbana’s basketball Tigers, although they suf- fered one of their worst seasons in many years, at times played basketball worthy of champions. They were always close, but seldom close enough. This was in effect a rebuilding year, as Coach Liz Astroth had but two returning lettermen. and no other experienced men. Of the two lettermen only one. dim Johnson, played regularly the previous season. As a result. Liz spent the first half of the season trying to find a satisfactory starting quin- tet. The Bengals dropped their first ten games in a row before taking a close 48-47 decision own- weak Montieello. They then proceeded to win two of their next three games, whipping Georgetown’s Buffaloes and highly-rated West ville with a loss to Tuscola sandwiched in between. The basketballers improved rapidly in the late season, but still couldn't beg. borrow, or steal more than one additional victory, in the second-to- last game over I’nity. The Tigers finished the regular season with a 4-IS record, but several promising underclassmen gained valuable experi- ence. With seven lettermen returning, including six sophomores, next year promises to be a great one for Bengal followers. I’rbana was given a good chance to win the Champaign Sectional, no doubt on the basis of the law of averages. The first round draw was Ma- homet. who the Bengals made short shrift of. 67- 37. Lynn Viseur. a sophomore, led tlx scoring with 1 (i points as Lrbana racked up their top score of the year. In the semi-finals their opponent was Champaign. In spite of two previous losses to their hated rival, Lrbana was predominantly favored for two quarters, one a record-breaking second period 28 points. The Tigers were ahead 33-31 at the half: however. Champaign rallied to win 68-53. Captain Jim Johnson led all scorers for the sea- son with 229 points in twenty-four games, for a .95 average. At the annual American Legion ban- quet, Lynn Viseur was awarded the George Widing free throw trophy for his .728 season average. The team field goal percentage was .279. 102 The 1953 Rosemary RESERVE Row J- Bohlen, I'elmore, Med row, Murray, Humphrey, Hamnioiid. Row i- Sams. Loew, Watts. Scott, Bee, Klam, Viscur.

Early in the season— April 17. to be exact—the Tigers suffered a blow which might have ruined a lessor team. On that date Jim Johnson, one of the greatest all-round men in the state, reached his 20th birthday and was thus ineligible for future 11 ISA competition. There was a lot of speculation as to whether the Armermen could stand the loss of 15-20 points. Urbana erased that doubt the next Friday, how- ever. with a decisive victory in the class A Mat- toon Relays for their third title of the year. The Tigers began the season with a slim margin of victory over Ottawa in their own Urbana Open.

Yerlon Shearing also starred for Urbana, winning the mile in record time and copping the fast heat of the 880. After clobbering Rantoul in a dual meet, the Tigers traveled to Paris the next weekend. Urbana took their second major win by outdistancing all competition in the Class A Paris Relays. Next came a decisive win over Danville in a dual meet on Urbana’s McKinley field. It was the final competition for Johnson. He scored 20 of Urbana’s 871!� points, in his pet events, the high jump and shotput, plus the 100-vard dash, broad jump and several other events.

The grapplers got off to a good start when they crushed Paxton 44-6 and they kept right on roll- ing all through the season. Although they dropped their first meet with Champaign, they came back strong in the second meet with their twin-city rivals to win for the first time in ten years. In all. the wrestlers won 7 out of 10 dual meets. In the Pig Twelve. I'rbana came out second, only two points behind the winners of first place. First place winners were Hex Whitlateh. Hay Stout. Jim Valentine, and Dale Stout. The mat-men won the sectional by forty-nine points. This was the only meet in which Hex Whitlateh was defeated all year. Hex got his revenge a week later at Huff gym when he beat Moore of Danville, to whom he had previ- ously lost. Crbana sent nine men to the state wrestling tournament. Hex Whitlateh took the only first for C.H.S., while Jim Valentine took second in his weight class. Elected next year’s captain was Duane Goodwin. Hay Stout was the most outstanding during the 1952-1953 season. Great tribute must be paid their coach. Nate Johnson, and the wonderful school spirit that pre- vailed throughout the season. A team of their cali- ber is typical of Crbana. WRKSTLIX ; SQUAD: Row 1- Arnold, Kuypers, Sadler, Goodwin, R. Stout, Whitlateh, Carlson, Gregerson. Row 2—Berth lemy, Mock, D. Stout.

I’nder the capable coaching of Mr. Gene Armer, I'.II.S. won eight straight dual meets, placed first in the Big 12, first in the District, and second in the State. After winning all their dual meets the Tigers went to the Big 12 in which they took first place honors with ease. The Harriet’s then made it two districts in a row with Verlon Shearing taking the honors, again closely followed by Tom Luker, Jim Bickers, Leonard Wilson, Lynn Viseur running second, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth, respec- tively. I'rbana then went to the State meet favored to win. Due to a hilly course. Peoria Woodruff, the host team, walked off with first, with I'rbana a close second. Verlon Sheuring. although favored to win. came in a strong third. This team has surely been one of the greatest and is a great tribute to their school and coach.

The goals of the dub are to promote better sportsmanship, to strive for higher standards of health, and to aid our won- derful coaching staff. One of our main social activities this year was the sponsoring of the annual “C” Club Dance, held on May 1). in the Urbana High School Gym. Recent letter winners were formally initiated into the club at this dance. A new project of the “U” Club is the awarding of a trophy at the annual athletic honor’s day as- sembly. to each boy who earned three letters in one year. Members of the “U” Club also served as ushers for the basketball games held at the Urbana National Guard Armory. The club’s president. Jim Johnson, has capably fulfilled his job with the willing help of Vice-Presi- dent Ralph Campbell, and Secretary-Treasurer Stuart Dawson. These new members are: Lynn Yiseur, Jerry Meyer.

It was founded to foster synchro- nized and ballet swimming among the girls in the school. Membership in the club is open to any girl in I lls who can meet the requirements of the test. During the fall of the year try-outs were held in which all girls interested participated. Included in these try-outs were many different strokes and stunts which had to be correctly done in synchronization. The required strokes included front-crawl, back- crawl. breast-stroke, trudgeon-crawl, side-stroke, over- arm stroke and the elementary back-stroke. Among the various stunts were the front somersault, tuck and pike; back somersault, surface-dive tuck and pike; over-head sculling, ballet-legs, dolphin, kip, finning, foot-first surface-dive and a standing front-dive. After the try-outs, the new members were accepted into the club at a formal supper and informal splash party. This year Terrapin initiated four new members, Ann Willis. Karen llarstad, Patty Beaird, and Judy Smith, which increased the total membership of tin club to thirteen. Heading the organization was Presi- dent Marina Steggerda, Vice-President Sally Bills, and Secretary-Treasurer Kathe Porter. Also this past year the group greeted their new sponsor. Miss Martha Crawford. .Miss Crawford not only showed a great deal of in- terest in the club but contributed many new ideas and inspired several activities. Through her leadership. Terrapin ratified a new constitution limiting membership to girls already skilled in the various stunts and strokes. By this restriction the club hoped to inspire girls to learn the various requirements before applying for membership. Also through Miss Crawford’s influence the club presented a swimming show. “Water Colors,’’ for which each girl had to write and direct a ballet. Many hours of practice were spent in getting the numbers smooth and tech- nically correct. Featured in the show were several comedy numbers written by girls, a clown-act contributed by the members of the swimming team, and an all-club finale written and directed by Miss Crawford. Both parents and students enjoyed this event. During the months of preparation before the show, the Terrapin members received help on their numbers from several Cniversity of llinois Terrapin members. The club was very happy to have their help, and through this aid and that of Miss Crawford, they have completed a very successful year.

Here they are offered many kinds of en- tertainment, and recreation. There is dancing in the auditorium, card and game playing in the lounge, while at the soda bar soft drinks are served. For the more energetic type, ping-pong may be played. This past year the Den sponsored four orchestra dances. The first dance, held during the early fall, honoring Freshmen, was appropriately called the “Freshmen Welcome.” In November, the group directed the Thanksgiving Dance, and during the Christmas holidays, the council sponsored the Holi- day Dance. A Graduation Dance, held on the night of graduation, and especially honoring seniors, was supervised by the newly-elected Council. One very special event at the Tiger’s Den this year was “t’rbana Night.” During the evening the Den was open exclusively to Crbana students. The evening was divided between round and square dancing. Plenty of food was on hand, from apples and soft drinks, to popcorn and cotton candy. This was the first year that such a party had been spon- sored, and since it proved to be such fun it was agreed that it should become on annual affair.

The 1953 Rosemary 131 Class History Introduction— This year's big story is awarded to the 106 seniors of I'rbana High School’s graduating class of 1953. The story started four years ago in the September of 1949. If everyone will look backward four years, maybe you will remember some scenes that took place. Freshman— When as seared, green froshies we first opened and entered the doors of I'rbana High. For the first several weeks we wandered through the halls, clinging to each other for moral support and dis- rupting sneh classes as English 7 and 8. more com- monly known as rhet. Becoming familiar with our fellow classmates, we held the first elections to determine who our class leaders would be. After an extensive campaign, Jim Valentine was elected president and Pat Arie, vice-president and Kay White, secretary; Nancy Webber, treasurer; Sue Campbell, Rosemary representative; were chosen to assist him. As we became more aware of sports, we were very proud of Jim Johnson who pushed his way to the varsity squads of both football and basketball. During this time we had 20 boys on the reserve squad. By now class of ’53 had put aside our shyness and joined many clubs such as Camera Club, International Language Club, Library Club. Many girls were doubtful of names like (LA.A., S.K., and F.H.A.. but joined anyway. We partici- pated gaily in the dances of the year including the Freshman Frolics and Sadie Hawkins where John Norton came away with first prize for the most original costume. Then we arrived at the time of year that inspired those fiendish informal initia- tions. “Fountain baths” were the specialty of that period. On the more cultured side of life, though, we studied our class beauties and came up with Alice Kinnear. Virginia Wilson and Sharlene Mock to grace the football field in the Court of Honor. Mel Hoot’s became one of our favorite stop-overs on the way home and our special juke box numbers were “I Can Dream. Can’t I “Hag Mop”, and “My Foolish Heart.” As wrestling rolled around, five boys went out and made an excellent showing for the class while the reserve squad composed mostly of boys of ’53 did very well in practice and exhibition wrestling. The world of sports was soon to know our boys well as they earned membership in the “C” Club. Several dramatic productions would have been left without a star if Kay White had not been present for “Best Foot Forward” and Shirley Mattlin for the “Happy Journey.” Not to be outdone in romancin’, we had several steadies that have lasted through the four years, Shirley Kasmussen and Merwin Kirby, ’52. Bar- bara Vandervort and Don Kinney, ’52. and Mary Gregerson and Dick Ingram, ’51. When spring poked its nose around the corner. Jim Johnson, Karl Hadfield, and Dick Ilegenbart started their train- ing for track and showed the future skills for Ur- bana’s cinder track. Taking exams is a burden that everyone must bear, so class of ’53 took them like heroes, received our grade cards, and went for a summer of pleasure now that we were old-timers at I'rbana High. Sophomore— All good things must come to an end, though, so we re-entered school with only two losses from the class—Nancy Webber moved to Paxton, and Bill Fiseh left for Europe to see the more cultured way of life. Elections were again a necessity and a crew of “Salty Sailors” was picked to keep mu- tiny from the ranks. Claude Linford, president; Alice Kinnear. vice president; Neoma Muesing, sec- retary; Tom Luker, treasurer; and Virginia Wil- son, Rosemary representative. In the field of sports the sophomore boys were fast becoming stars. Most versatile was Jim Johnson, acclaimed in football, basketball, and track. Other outstanding track stars were Tom Luker. Verlon Shcuring. Dick Ilegenbart, and Claude Linford. The sophs tallied more points than any other single class. During the winter months H. A. Kasner, Claude Linford, Jim Valentine, and Hay Stout proved their value to the wrestling team, while Stuart Dawson and Jim Vliet joined the tankmen. Not to be outshone on the athletic field, the girls of the Court of Honor added a bit more to the evening than just a foot- ball game. Barbara Vandervort, Shirley Kasmus- sen, and Sue Campbell filled the sophomore posi- tions very well. The whole class was not composed of brawn, though, for 17 made their way to Lambda, sophomore honorary. Ralph Campbell, Sherrill Ilodson. and Gayle Ilalvorson were chosen to head this group. Dramatic productions were again aided by our class when Claude Linford starred as Stephen Foster in the musical comedy, “Oh Susanna!” and Wilma Eskew won a second place in the “I Speak for Democracy” contest. Our musically-inclined classmates, Gayle Ilalvor- son, Roger Fitz-Gerald, and Bob Whalin won in district band contest while Bob and Roger took first in state. Journalism was not without our tal- ent when Sherrill Ilodson became assistant editor. As the year ended this time, we were a confident group of students who had dreams of doing great things as upperclassmen in 1950-51. ■In nior— In September of 1951 we began our Junior year. Much anxiety was felt as to what the coming year would bring, but we needn’t have worried for the year proved to be a very successful one. To begin the year were class elections. Our “Hillbillies” won. with Tom Luker. president; Phil Flores, vice- president; Barbara Vandervort, secretary; Stuart Dawson, treasurer: and Shirley Rasmussen, Rose- mary representative. Soon our class chose three attractive girls to represent us on the Court of Honor. They were Sherrill Ilodson, Pat Ogdon, and Nancy Foltz. The football team with five wins and three losses was aided by several of our mem- 132 The 1053 It out mart CLASS HISTORY (Continued) bers. .1 ini Johnson, Dick Ilegenbart, Earl Iladfield, Ralph Campbell. Jack Stanner, Dave Hartsfield. Phil Flores, R. A. Rasner. Claude Linford. Stuart Dawson, and Marion Smith were all active on the gridiron. Many high offices were held by our class- mates. Marjorie Miller. Judy Hart, Pat Costa, and Nancy Fiscus were all officers in F. II. A. in Graphis, Carol Morfev was vice-president. Alice KLinear. Dick Powers, Dick Miluni, and Boh Whalin all held offices in the various divisions of International Language Club. Russell Elliot and Dick Powers were officers of Camera Club and Delta Sigma, respectively. In band. Gayle Ilalvor- son and Verlon Sheuring were officers. Marina Steggerda. Terrapin: George Douglas. Phi Kappa Kappa; and Barbara Vandcrvort, Student Coun- cil. were other officers. In basketball Jim Johnson. Dick Ilegenbart, Earl Iladfield. Ralph Campbell, and John Mock represented the junior class. Ray Stout, captain, led the wrestling squad to many victories. R. A. Rasner. Dale Stout, Jim Val- entine. and Phil Flores were our juniors on the team. On the Rosemat'y staff were Kay Evans, junior editor, and Ralph Campbell, assistant sports edi- tor. Xeoma Muesing served on the ad staff of tin Echo, while Shirley Whitt and Alice Reuss worked on the circulation staff. Ralph Campbell. Marina Steggerda. and Sherrill Hodson served on the edi- torial staff. Marina and Sherrill were recognized for their ability by Quill and Scroll. As track season rolled around we saw many of our junior boys out, such as Claude Linford, Tom Luker. Verlon Sheuring, Earl Iladfield, R. A. Ras- ner. Dick Ilegenbart. and Jim Johnson. As the juniors, we were all very excited over the arrival of our class rings, and many a class period was spent gazing at them. In dramatics. George Douglas played a leading part in “Hasty Heart’’ and “Men Are Like Street- cars.’’ Wilma Eskew was in “Trojan Women” and R. A. Rasner and Roger Fitz-Gerald were in “Hasty Heart.” Three of our boys worked behind the scenes as sports managers. They were John Norton, Russell Elliot and Bob Cook. Junior Honorary—Psi—honored 27 of our class. George Douglas was elected by our class as Hatchet Orator and did a marvelous job of defending the class of '.’ 3 against Beverly Phillips, senior orator. At the Tiger’s Den we danced to such tunes as “ Botch-a-Me,” “Tiger Rag.” and had a good time. The Prom, planned and paid for by the juniors, was a huge success and a wonderful climax to the junior year. We raised the money by selling candy after plays, paper and scrap metal sales, and by selling felt initials. As we came out to get our report cards, we felt sorry that our junior year was over, but thrilled that next year we would be the mighty invincible seniors! Senior— We have now reached the goal of any high school student—to be a senior. Many things have hap- pened to the superior I'rbana students in 1952-53. Taking time out from the necessary evil of study- ing, the seniors engaged in more than our share of activities. To begin the year, we picked three beauties for the Court of Honor: Alice Reuss. Barbara Van- dervort, and Shirley Whitt. Social Klub leaders were senior girls such as Nancy Fiscus, Shirley Whitt, Phyllis Murphy, Sandra White, and Vir- ginia Wilson. Another girls’ organization, the F.H.A.. named Pat Costa as president and Carol Cnzicker as treasurer, while in the music depart- ment. the Vivace leader was Gayle Halvorson. Two boys, being scientifically minded, were elected to lead Dor Wissenschaft Verein. They were Dick Milum. president, and Bob Whalin. vice-president. This club, with the able leadership of seniors, pub- lished our cherished Tigerectorv. To turn to sports, our men were outstanding in the fall activities. Jim Johnson was captain of the football team and Ralph Campbell was chosen as most valuable player. Other senior let termen who helped lead the team to a successful season were Phil Flores, outstanding lineman; John Mock, Claude Linford. Stuart Dawson. John Johnson, Jack Sianner. Dick Ilegenbart. R. A. Rasner, and Earl Iladfield. These seniors will always be remem- bered as part of a great I’rbana team which tram- pled Champaign 21-6 for the first time since 1942. The other fall sport, cross-country, had an out- standing season with the help of three senior har- riers. Verlon Sheuring. Tom Luker. and Jerry Meyer. These boys led the team to a Big 12 cham- pionship and the State runner-up title. The girls were also having their fling at athletics with Ma- rina Steggerda president of Terrapin, while (LA.A. leaders were Barbara Vandcrvort, Virginia Wil- son. Xeoma Muesing. Tonita Douglas, and Mollie Marvel. Our class was bound back together after all the furore of the school elections. Victors in the voting —those who led us to a great year as seniors were George Douglas, president, Earl Iladfield. vice- president, Mollie Marvel, secretary. Jim Johnson, treasurer, and Shirley Whitt. Rosemary represen- tative. There were many other activities where seniors “reigned supreme,” such as dramatics and journalism. With the play, “I Remember Mama” our class showed the school that I’rbana may have future stage and screen stars. Outstanding seniors in the cast were Carol Brunk, George Douglas. Alice Gregory, Dorothy Hutton, Dick Milum, and Roger Fitz-Gerald. The winter play, “Arms and the Man.” proved to be very successful and many seniors had important parts in this production. The senior actors and actresses were Bill Fisch, Claude Linford. John Norton, Dick Powers, Dick Milum. Roger Fitz-Gerald. Wilma Eskew. and Phyllis Cox.

CHAMPAIGN URBANA In tlu past one hundred seventy- six years, as our country has grown and developed, business, agricul- ture and labor have each become “big.” Probably of necessity, gov- ernment likewise has become -big.” Our government today, includ- ing federal, state, and local, is larger than any industry. The pub- lic schools alone are “bigger” than any single private enterprise. It is more important than ever before that we have men and women of high integrity in govern- mental positions of compensation or honor. We salute you, the senior class, for applying yourselves to the task you have just finished. We would like to invite you to apply yourself in the same manner to the respon- sibilities of citizenship in our de- mocracy.

Doris Gammon is a thriving salesman of east iron corsets, and Mary Lou Gregerson is working on the same line—she manages Jos. Kuhn’s lingerie department. Alice Gregory is still trying to elope. Louise Hall is living and learning. Bill Rear is still a little behind. Dick Wyninger has put his education to good use—he is a stable boy at Calumet. Dr. David Hartsfield is an expert in the field of anthropology—-(J)iggin’ for bones). Jim Kuypers clears the streets of little children in his big Buick. Mollie Marvel still gives 10% of her income to pay for the 1953 Rosemary. Marjorie Miller somehow got a job teaching driver training at the South Pole. Janine Whiteside is a Girl Scout troop mother. Shirley Whitt, still happily married, cares for her toni twins. Pat Ogdon busily writes letters to the lovelorn. Holding the patent for a type of hairpin especi- ally for History Classes is Pat Morehead Swearin- gen. Claude Linford, the dauntless I).A. of Cal City, was deported to Hawaii after a Congressional in- vestigation of crime and corruption. Ravin’ Robert Whalin, the piano-pounding par- son. is making an evangelistic tour of the Belgian Congo. And. last but not least, we find John Mock still doing as little as possible.
