As Sophomores we chose a double set of class officers to guide us throufan our first year at VIT. These people were Melba Easley and Lois Burgard as presidents; Marlene Foster, and Ronald Johnson were our vice-presidents; our secretaries were Noralyn Baily and Tom Cassidy; Barbara Johnson and Bob Pritchard served as treasurers; our reporter was Mary Edith Horwedel, and our Student Council representatives were: Jackie Johnson, John White, and Don Van Fossen. Our advisors were Mrs. Dorthea Wilson and Mr. Harold Heldreth. We started our year's activities with a weiner roast and a hey-ride. as magazine salesmen we out-shone the other classes by selling over $400 in subscriptions. In the Senior-sponsored stunt night we entered a stunt called Television. Later we sponsored an all school skating party at Macomb. In the fall of '48 we came back to school as Jolly Juniors. This year a new set of officers were elected, and we gained a new set of advisors. Our officers were Tom Cassidy, president; Ronald Johnson, vice-president; Bill Branson, secretary; Cedric Van Order, treasurer; Merle Horwedel, reporter; and Lois Burgard, and Max Strode, student council representatives. Mrs. Clela Wilson, Miss Neva Larimore, Mrs. Louise Stoops, Mr. Morris Payne, and Coach Elver Wend-landt served as our advisors. Activities this year kept us pretty busy. During the fall we had a hay ride. On December 2-3, our class play entitled China Boy was given. During basketbal?- season most people were busy at the concession stand helping sell pop, candy, and popcorn to the fans. Early in May came the Junior and Senior Prom, at which we carried out the effective theme of Under the Sea. This year 40 eager and industrious Seniors started the first semester, but we lost John White to the Army, and Jack Herron dropped out. Early in the second semester we gained Virgil Leezer, a transfer student from Good Hope, thus giving us 39 graduating students. SENIOR HISTORY CON'T The faculty members who were our supervisors this year were Miss Mary Ann Cox, and Mr. Max Crockett. The class officers were: President..................Janet Bradford Vice-president..................John Bucy Secretary....................Lois Burgard Treasurer..................Marlene Foster As a class motto we chose Before Us Lies The Timber, Let's Build, our class colors were red and white, and our class flower was the red rose. The dignified Senior class started the year's activities moving by initiating the little unsuspecting freshmen. During the football season the members of the class ran the concession stand. To start the homecoming week off on the right foot.Jdhn Bucy and Lois Burgard, both Seniors, were elected king and queen respectively by the student body. The night before the Big Game saw the students and faculty turn out for the bonfire and pep rally. Afterward we journied to Vermont for a special movie. The day of the Homecoming found us busily working to finish construction on our float for the parade which was held in the afternoon, and journied from Ipava, to Vermont, and then on through Table Grove to the nigh school. In the evening our Home coming dance was presided over by the King and Queen. Sandy Sanburg's orchestra played for our dancing. In February we sponsored a stunt night in which the students of VIT, Vermont, and IT Grade Schools participated. On May 11th, we were guests at the Junior-Senior Prom, given in our honor by the Juniors. On March 30 and 31 we presented our play Drums of Death , a Mystery-Comedy. For our Senior trip we went by bus to Chicago and from there to Detroit by Greyhound bus. From there we took a D C Liner to Soo Locks and Mackinac Island, and then back to Chicago. We saw many interesting sights. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Anderson accompanied us as chaperones. ClaS5 O-fficers In bhe dresbioq room Kmcj and Queen s We, the graduating class of 1950, being of sound minds, memories and undertakings, do make, publish, and declare the following as our last will and testament, revoking all wills made by us any time heretofore. First, We the Senior Class leave the balance of the treasury to the Junior Class (if they can find any). Second, To our Janitor I ndy we leave row upon row of empty seats to remind him of our ever-lasting devotion. Third, To the school we leave our class gift, to be used as it pleases. Fourth, Tb Mr. Wendlandt we leave the school. X, Ida Abernathy, hereby will and bequeath my tumbling ability to Janice Hughes to be used during school hours only. I, Arlen Applegate, leave my knowledge on how to play the bass horn to Paul Stoops so V.X.T. can have a band next year. I, Noralyn Baily, bequeath my angelic iisposi- tion to Shirley Price who would welcome the change. I, Roger Beans, will my enthusiam for English to Kenneth Noble who is just spending a few years in the Sophomore Class. I, Janet Bradford, will my good grades to Margaret Graham who will then be able to loaf next year. I, Bill Branson, bequeath my crew haircut to Lloyd Leezer. I, John Bucy, leave my height Monte Welker who could use it. I, Bill Burks, will my flair for telling tall tales to Philip Gilkerson in case he runs out of his own. I, Lois Burgard, will my height and slim figure to Eileen McFadden who might welcome them. I, Tom Cassidy, will the difficult procedure of doing nothing to Rosemarie Heaton who could stand the change. I, Max Cox, will my quietness to Vern Camp to save Mrs. Garner's shattered nerves. I, Maxine Cox, will my constant Jeannine Netzer. I, Melba Easley, will my fluent Green. I, Donna Etter, will my controlled (Hal) temper to my sister, Pat, who sometimes needs a damper on hers. I, John Foster, will my ability to tell intertaining stories in speech class to Mary Bowman. I, Marlene Foster, will my red hair to Shirley Borwedel who needs it to match her temper. I, Russell Hamm, give my habit of teasing the girls to Buster Jones. S sm and athletic ability to good naturedness to gift of gab to Norman ( c nf rims r I, Bill Hammona, will my desire to ski school to Richard Hickle who has one of his own. I, Mary Edith Horwedel, will my ability as a cheerleader to Pat Waters. I, Merle Horwedel, give my enthusiam for hunting to anyone who will enjoy it as much as I do. I, Barbara Johnson, will my ability to skip school and get away with it to anyone who can make as much use of it as I did. I, Jacquline Johnson, will my interest in a certain Ipava guy to anyone who can win it. I, Ronald Johnson, will my '29 to anyone willing to take the responsibility. I, Mary June Kaelber, leave my ability to laugh at anything, anytime, anywhere to Joan Weese to be used in brightening up her sober air. I, Virgil Leezer, give my natural curly hair to Doris Nunn who will have some use for it. I, Margaret McCarty, will my interest in Astoria to Lu Ann Ridenour who also has some there.

I, Russel Platt, will my ability to •Coach’ to Mr. Hawthorne who could use a few more victories. I, Bob ft ltchard, give my pep and energy to Dave Cbx with the hope that he'll put it to good use.

I, Cedric Van Order, will my exclusive rights on a certain freshie to Bill Bulmer. I, Jean Young, will my ability to blush readily to Don Young. The year 1960 finds the V. I. T. class of '50 at a reunion. The scene of this happy occasion is one of the largest ranches in Colorado, the M Bar M Ranch owned by our host, Max Strode. Audrey influenced Max in choosing this secluded spot nestled among the mountains. This location eliminates any tendencies toward jealousy that used to be so prevelant back in 1950. We shift the scene for a moment to a BHA Airliner high over the mountains. Bill Hammond now runs this Trans-continental Airline Company and he is providing transportation for former classmates to the M-M Ranch—with due compensation, of course. Barbara Johnson very aptly served us on our trip. She is a stewardess with high recommendations. As you remember she always was up in the air over something or someone back in V.I.T. High. Bill Burks came out from New York in his private plane. He can only stay a short time before his next program. He is on a national hookup with his television show of tail-stories . Everyone has arrived now with the exception of Russell Hamm and Carroll Parker wno are being flown in from Australia where they are delegates at a United Nations Farm Bureau Convention. The afternoon started with a bound. The horse Elwyn McFadden was riding took one leap then collapsed. Melba Easley, now a registered nurse, is helping Elwyn doctor his bruises where he fell on his good trousers. It was a little out of her husband's line, but Jackie Johnson, now Mrs. Coleman, persuaded Rupert to perform an autopsy on the dead horse. The horse's last snort sounded a little like an Astoria football player with Elwyn on top. Had it not been Merle Horwedel, universal game warden, who caught Cedric VanOrder and Russell Platt, the punishment might have been drastic. These two were caught chasing women out of season, violating a law. Senators BernaidA. Netzer and Arlen Applegate passed. No doubt they enjoy congressional immunity. PROPHECY CONTIHUED Mary Ritter was busy horseback riding and entertaining several that weren't present in 1950. They were Marlene Foster's five children. All 5 have red hair. Yes, Marlene worked as a stenographer for awhile, but married her boss seven years ago. Mary Edith Horwedel's two daughters are trying to ride a horse and do acrobatics at the same time. Yes, she is married but her husband was taken to Bartonville after four years of home environment. Robert Pritchard found it even harder to get away from his trucking business than it used to be to get out of school. Bob has hopes of retiring early if bis luck holds out. Inquiring about present occupations we find that some of us have put our High School learning to practice. Donna Etter is head bookkeeper for the Dupont Chemical Company. Mary Parsano goes by the name of Aunt Abigale and writes advice to the lovelorn. Journalism, offered when our class was Seniors, weems to have been beneficial. Betty Schroeder is a reporter for the Chicago Tribune and writes her daily column, What to do on Dates . Ruby Richardson is a stenographer for a dude rancher in Arizona. Ida Abernathy is also a typist in Springfield at the state capitol. Bill Branson and Janet Bradford flew up from Texas where Janet is lab technician for Bill's oil company. Roger Beans has perfected a new type of hybrid beans on his farm. The B-B-B-beans. His slogan is Beans's Beans and better beans . Janet as usual is skeptical at what Roger can do and is going to analyze them before he produces them on a large scale. Mary Kaelber and Jean Young have developed talents other than those of knowledge. Jean is a cover girl nicknamed Dimples and Mary June models the latest fashions from Paris. Two more members of our class have stayed on farms in Illinois. Max Cox has Just donated part of the old Camp Ellis site, which he now owns, for the construction of a new VIT school building. This building is much needed since addition of Astoria, Lewistown, and Rushville. A peculiar request has been made forbidding any bars on the windows. PROPHECY CONTINUED Another prospering farmer, Virgil Leezer, has put his experience of four years in F. F. A. to the best advantages. Always doing good turns for others, Maxine Cox has moved her beauty parlor to New York. There she gives Bill Burks his hair reviving treatment. His brother experimented on him with tweezers instead of scissors. As the evening rolled around we all gathered at a delicious banquet. This was prepared by Lois Burgard, who gave up Home Ec. teaching to put her ability to practical use in the Coleman home. Arriving a little late for the banquet, Tom Cassidy ambled in and passed around samples of his Wrigley's Charcoal gum, his latest asset. Tom rests all year and then wrestles with the income taxes on his millions. Entertainment for the evening was provided by John Foster and his band. John has gained a favorable reputation with his new technique of trombone playing. Of course, people with tonsils don't need to hold their noses. Among those unable to attend this reunion is Ronald Johnson, who is in California preparing his team for the Rose Bowl game. His defeat over Notre Dame brought him fame. Bernard Mallott now own3 the Roaring 50's night club, located near Havana, Illinois, and is prospering from the business. Margaret McCarty couldn't be present as she had to manage her restaurant in Vermont and keep all her little Plates' clean. John Bucy and Noralyn Baily couldn't be with us today because they are very strict about dismissing school at V. I. T. Noralyn is English teacher there and Johnny is the coach. After an enormous banquet everyone settled back to talk over old times . Suddenly there was a terrific rumble and swish. Bang!-------------Crash! A violent Colorado tornado had the class of '50 in its clutches. When the winds calmed, they were again scattered far and wide.

They have been summoned by a telegram which they discover is false, but the discovery is too late for them to escape from the v eird place and malign people who threaten their very lives. Mr. Bailey, a relative of most of them, has disappeared. They question the others, the half mad housekeeper, the octoroon girl whose strange trances frighten them out of their wits, the surly Haitain Negro, and Harley whom they scarcely know whether to trust or fear the most of all. They struggle to solve the mystery of the place, the cabinet that is death to open, appearances from time to time of the hooded figure,the ghost that creeps from the shadows,the monster that lurks and threat-ens--and back of it all the dull, insistent, throbbing of the mysterious drums. Yet always to break the tension, there is the crackle of laughter of the absurdities of the sheriff and the saucy Amelia and there is the warmth and glow of the romance that develops in spite of the sunless terror of the place. The Junior Class play, Those Webster's was presented November 17 and 18, at 8:00 p.m. in the gymnasium. It was a three act comedy. Characters Mr. Webster----------Harvey Brlnton Mrs . Webster--------Barbara Danner Bill Webster-------Richard Southwood Liz Webster----------------Jeannette Atwater Kitty--------------------------Wanda Wherley Shirley Mae Stringer-----Pat Waters Coach----------------Dean Hulvey Mr. Watt-------------Gale Tingley Belinda-----------Margaret Graham Delores---------Phyllis Robertson Jeep-------------------Bill Seals Emil-----------------Don Ridenour SYNOPSIS Liz says Bill's in love. Whenever he goes around sinning that song about Always . Bill's got it bad and this time it's—an Ider woman —Kitty, his father's secretary. Kitty is only being nice when she accepts his invitation to the homecoming dance. She doesn’t realize Belinda expects Bill to ask her, but is broken-hearted when he passes her up. Everything isn't all sweetness for Bill because he has flunked his history exam and that means he doesn't have a chance to play in the homecoming game. Meanwhile, Dad is strutting about proudly in his old high school sweater, boasting that Bill is going to carry on the Webster tradition. Bill hasn't told his dad about flur ing. Can you blame him'. Mr. Watt hears of Belinda's plight and puts a bug in Kitty's ear By talking about er fallen arches, her gray hair, and what fun they will have doing the Charleston, Kitty discourages Bill, and so he decides he has to got back into Belinda's good graces. But Belinda has taken up with a guy in a convertible. Jeep tells Bill the only way to get Belinda back is to make her jealous. Bill flirts with Shirley Mae Stringer, a Southern babe from Charleston. Shirley M.ae takes Bill like Grant took Richmond and before he is aware of It, she is an-noucing their engagement. In a hilarious last act everything turns out all right.

Football Teasi ended its season with a very impressive record of seven wins against two loses. Coach Wendlandt1s teams showed much improvement with the football spirit really taking a hold at V.I.T. The Hornets got off to a good start by trouncing an unexperienced Valley team 34 to 0. September 83 found the local team fighting a hard battle against Blandins-ville under the new lighted field. We came out on top with a 12 to 6 score. The Bushnell Indians gave us our first defeat of the season by a score of 20-7. We suffered our second and last defeat at the hands of the Lewistown eleven 13-0. We played without three of our regulars because of injuries, and had some penalties which really hurt our scoring chances. We started rolling again by tripping Elmwood 14 to 13. We traveled to Mendon and defeated them 14 to O on a very muddy field. Next was Homecoming and the day was made perfect with a 54 to 0 victory over Avon. We beat Cuba out of third place in the conference by a 6 to 0 margin. And last but not least we trounced Astoris 54 to 0. It was a wonderful climax for the year. The graduating lettermen for the 49-50 year are Merle Horwedel, John Bucy, Bernard Netzer, Elwyn McFadden, Ronald Johhson, Robert Pritchard, Max Strode, Tom Cassidy, Bill Branson, Russell Platt, and Max Cox. The returning lettermen are Dean Hulvey, Don Ridenour, Bill Seals, Richard Southwood, Darrell Lasswell, Marcus Cox, Gale Tingley, J.B. Carithers, and Don Chenoweth. John Bucy our speedy left-half was elected honorary captain for the 49- 50 football season. He also received honorable mention on the “Little All State football team. The Little All State team was picked from schools with an enrollment of 350 pupils or less. This is the first V.I.T. athlete to be recognized on the all state team. The Olympic Conference standings for the 49 football season are as follows, Lewistown, 1st; Bushnell, 2nd; V.I.T., 3rd; followed by Cuba, Astoria, Valley, and Avon. The B Team started off their season with a 7 to 0 victory over the Canton Freshmen team. Next they stopped Valley's B Team 9 to 6. In the Stingers third encounter they fought Cuba to a 0 to 0 tie. The Canton Freshmen gave the B team their first defeat 20 to 7. A second straight defeat came from the hand of the Bushnell Junior Varsity 13 to 6. Farmington also stopped the local team 12 to 0. They ended their seasoh with 2 wins, 1 tie, and 3 losses. The Stingers played some good football and there were some very promising underclassmen who will be plenty rough by next year.

Despite the indication of the won and lost column the boys played good ball most of the time. They showed up very good in the Fulton County Tournament when they defeated Lewistown the first night, but were unable to keep up the good work and lost to Cuba the second night. The best showing of their ability was reached toward the latter part of the season when they downed the same Cuba team by more than twenty points. After winning the next game by an equally large margin they seemed to lose their spark and lost the last five games of the season. The last three games, however, were lost by very narrow margins, the latter being the game with Rushville in the Regional Tournament. The graduating letter winners of the squad are; Tom Cassidy, John Bucy, Ronald Johnson, Southwood, Bill Bill Burks, and Russell Hamm. Returning lettermen are Seals, Don Ridenour, Dean Hulvey, Roy VanFossen, and Leo Richard Burks.
