t t r PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS V. I.T. HIGH SCHOOL TABLE GROVE ILL. Introducing jreabesi) Show on Earth America’s FOREWORD Top Performers Has it ever occured to you that school is like a 3-RING CIRCUS? It did to us, so we have tried to present in this volume of the VITORIAN the three rings of school life in picture and story form. Ring 1 is the Parade of Events- the important activities that were highlights during the year 1951-52. Since acrobats are noted for their athletic ability, ring 2 is devoted to sports. And, as every good circus must have a side show, we have presented ours as a menagerie of teachers and students. The paying customers, that very necessary part of any circus, represents our advertisers. « 0 « � VH UNIT Pictures by BURCH STUDIO E. A.

THE SPOTUTE GilPSZi V4T- oymns SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The year is now 1976, the fourth day of the month of July. The graduating class of '52 from V.I.T. is gathering at RONALD EASLEY'S sky-home on a floating island, which he designed and built himself. The reunion will witness the sensational, collosal, extraordinary, breath-taking Burmill-Sexvan twelve-ring circus. The B. S. Circus has just arrived and is being set up. BULL MILLER, the strong man, is holding the huge center tent pole in place while the rest of the crew secures it. PHIL SEXTON is in a rear tent preparing for his evening show, Phil's Follies, the famous burlesque show. JACKIE ADCOCK and SHIRLEY ROBERTS are playing leading roles in Phil's Follies. While still in another part of the grounds, we find LEO BURKS, captain of the peanut vendors, roasting a week's supply of peanuts. ROY VAN FOSSEN is now practicing his dive routine, consisting of a jack-knife, 1 1 2 gainer, double backward swan dive into a wet sponge- THUD. The first rocket ship (also designed by RONALD EASLEY) is about to approach the floating island. Here it is, and the first familiar grad's face that appears is that of VADA LOU KOST, who is not letting her married life interfere with her stage career. Next is DELBERT LALICKER, who has risen from scooper to assistant manager of the Peoria Stockyards. DONALD ANDERSON, on being the next to arrive, was immediately captured (by mistake) and ushered to the monkey cage. Don has been working on the evolution theory. We are very fortunate to have LLOYD BUD GREEN with us today, for he is owner, player, and manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. It just so happened that Bud had an open date today. CATHERINE WEESE has just returned from the Belgian Congo where she has been modeling for the natives’ leading pin-up magazine, YUM YUM. SHERRILL CARRISON and SHIRLEY GUILL1AMS are now married and are living in Macomb, where their husbands are making as much dough as ever at Galloway's Bakery. LARRY ATWATER has gained his fame on the billiards tables. Larry has beaten the famed Willy Hoppe twice before poor Willy passed away. As a hobby, Larry also indulges in low-ball. JIM WICK T now owns half of Maxwell Street in Chicago and is making several million dollars annually. MARLYN JONES has finally realized his life's ambition and has replaced Gene Krupa as number one drummer. MARVIN REEDY, the nation’s number one trumpet player, has just replaced Harry James. LU ANN RIDENOUR is now coming down the gang plank escorted by her fifth husband. The first four have all committed suicide. CHARLES HUNTER has reformed since that fateful graduation night and has now become a Father of a mission to civilize the people of Pluto. ROSE MARIE HEATON now owns her own music shop in Los Angeles and is making millions on her own invention, the Sousanet (combination of the Sousa phone and the Clarinet). PAT ETTER has been head of the Research Department in Washington, D. C. and has at last made the headlines. She has discovered a sure way to kill dandruff. Also, as a hobby, Pat is trying to keep up with Luann. She has had four husbands to present. RICHARD HICKLE, last to ascend on this load, has done quite well for himself. Richard has spread the fame of Hickle Orchards across the entire continent until now the favorite American expression is Oh, nick instead of Oh, heck. The second rocket ship is now approaching the island, and at a timely moment, because the first one has just started to leave for another load. GLENN LEARNED is the pilot of this ship and has learned to handle it with the ease of his school-time hot rod. BOB SMITH, the class Romeo, has become a talent scout for the richest sheik of Arabia, and to present has found exactly 87 wives for him. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY They have now named the town where BETTY WALTERS lives Masonville because there are so many little Masons running around. CS.ARENCE SHAWGO is assistant dean of the U. of I. (University of Ipava) and teaches two subjects-- The Art of Bartending and How To Draw a Straight Flush (without getting caught). SHIRLEY HEATH has been quite content to settle down and keep house for her husband, Carl Tyler. They have one son, Carly”. BEULAH LONG has finally stopped going to Lewistown every other night. She has moved there and it is much more convenient. ADDIE MALLOTT is also married and has done quite nicely for herself. DARRELL LASSWELL has started raising dogs, and selling them at quite profitable amounts. Darrell’s biggest complaint is at present: With this horse-meat scandal, I can't feed my dogs. KENNETH NOBLE is now running the elaborate Rinkle Dink Skating rink in Chicago, the only rink in the world with padded floors. PHYLLIS HUFF is a polka-dot painter in an awning factory. SAM PORTER has taken over the agriculture department at Western Illinois State College. Besides this, Sam owns a nationwide chain of tadpole farms. And here comes the last of this rocket ship's load, WILLARD WEESE. Willard has been a hermit since 1960 when his wife left him. This is the first public appearance he has made since 1964. Now approaching Easley's Isle is the third and final ship bringing the old grads back. First to alight is MARCUS COX who is passing out cigars to everyone. His wife just had the 23rd. Congratulations!! EUGENE RECTOR has established the town, Rectorville, on the original farm, and now owns all the farms within a 19 mile radius. HAROLD HAMM has also done quite well with farming. Besides owning more than his share of farms, Harold has invented an all-crop harvester, attachable, to an airplane for speedier harvesting. ROSALIE BELVILLE is married and is quite content to be with her husband, now a colonel. RONALD Me FADDEN is still living in hopes that that certain Vermont girl will still come back. ROBIN MAGEE is star center on the newly organized Girls' Globe Girdler team. AUDREY BOTTENBERG has her own column in the New York Times. It is the obituary column. LOUISE CHENOWETH, president of the Man-Hater Club has interrupted her honeymoon to attend the reunion. LILA SHAW, who is one of the few yet unwed, runs a luxurious Shaw hotel in Detroit, where CAROL RICHARDSON is her business manager. MARILYN EASLEY went to Chicago immediately after graduation andhas seen no one until today. However, Marilyn has made herself a vast fortune. Some say she made it by matching pennies with strangers, and others say Marilyn is a boot-legger. No one knows for sure (at least I don't). BARBARA ROBERTSON has opened a Baton-twirling school at Bernadotte, Illinois. As last reported, the school’s attendance had fallen off. MARILYN CHENOWETH, who couldn't wait until school was out to get married, is way ahead of the rest of them, except for Marcus, who is gaining. PHYLLIS FRANCE, JANICE HUGHES, and SUE MITCHELL, who were always inseparable, have a 3-way partnership in the largest night club in the world. Now that all are present, the great B. S. circus can get underway. All will report to Easley's spacious ballroom for a jet-propelled Fourth-of-July party after the first show. BOTTOM ROW- (1 to r) Mrs. Myers, J. Weese, B. Westerfield, D.

Then traveling to Blandinsville, the Hornets received their first win of the season by blanking Northwestern 13 to 0. The next three games were very unsuccessful for the Hornets, as they lost all three games. First journeying to Lewistown, they were smothered under 34 to 6. Next they played at Bushnell and ended up on the short end of a 6 to 0 score. On Homecoming Day, the Hornets played their rivals, the Astoria Pirates, and played a hard-fought battle all tne way, but were trimmed again 20-14.
