Wapella High School - Retro Yearbook (Wapella, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1949 volume:

its sf We, the Senior Class of 1949, wish at this time to express our gratitude: to the School Board who have labored to make our school a better place; to all the faculty members who so unselfishly have advanced our education; and last, but definitely not least, to our parents who have made so many sacrifices to enable us to take advantage of our educational opportunities.

And through it all we show a net profit. To go west for gold one century late, But we’ve collected a treasure great. A chest of experiences light and gay. That in our memories will forever stay. In English we learned to use who or whom. Yes, we’ve really profited in that old room. In science we learned the cause of static. Of course with the aid of trusty mathematics. Commerce revealed the business man’s strife. That surely will aid us in later life. For the girls who have Home Ec. as a base. Cooking and sewing can be done with grace. For the many boys who stay on the farm. Their training in Ag will do no harm. Though few will make music life’s vocation, It will always be valuable for relaxation. In the gym we’ve been excited and blue. As we were thrilled, disappointed, too. After our diplomas have been signed. We’ll leave our memories here behind. As our records go into the annals, Into the hall will go our class panel A living tribute each graduate knows. Around our building constantly grows. A green coat of ivy on the red-brick wall, A tribute to her graduates, one and all. Page Ten CLASS HISTORY Wapella High School! We Seniors look back now to the fall of 1945 when we were entering this place as “Green Freshmen” and think how backward and ridiculous we were at first. I suppose some of us wondered if we would ever struggle through four years of hard study. But, plus our studying, we who have stuck it out, are happy to say that there have been many happy moments during the four years. We began our Freshman year with a class of 24. Roger Altes from Chicago and Mary Roseman, from Clinton, came to join us. Mary left in March. We elected John Walsh—president, Verlin Ryan—vice-president, James Troxel—secretary-treasurer, Donna Lee Wilson—reporter, and Miss Betty Bremer—class sponsor. We had two parties during 1945-46—w'iener roast and chili supper. There were 25 who didn’t consider our freshman year, shall we say, too bad, so we came back in the fall of 1946 to begin our sophomore year. Roger Altes did not come back but Francis Cundiff dropped back a year to our class and we gained Dorothy Hasler, from Bellflower. We began by electing Thora Watson—president, Bill Ellis—vice-president, Charles Nelson—secretary-treasurer, Betty Holland—reporter, and Mr. Kidd—sponsor. Again we had two parties—skating party in Decatur and an all school dance at W. C. H. S. After our Sophomore year we proudly lengthened our study hours, and, lo, woke to find ourselves one of that dazzling throng, which ihe world proudly looks upon and calls “Jolly Juniors”—25 being our enrollment again. We gained Elsie Early from Kentucky, but later lost her along with Betty Holland, Bill Ellis, Joyce White, and Charles Nelson. We elected Verlin Ryan—president, Wayne Miller—vice-president, John Walsh—secretary-treasurer, Roberta Mollet—reporter, and Miss Ross—sponsor. This fall of 1947 was the beginning of a busy year with our main object “to make money” which we certaintly did; especially with our play “One in Every Family” which was presented on April 2, 1948, in the high school gym. We had a magazine sale the first semester and sold refreshments and had a check room at the District Tournament, doing well at both. We had an all school “Sadie Hawkins Day” party and dance afterwards. After much debate we changed the old tradition of taking Seniors on a trip and planned a Prom (theme-“The Rainbow”) for them. We, with the able assistance of our class sponsor, Miss Ross, worked very eagerly on it, making it an event which I’m sure the seniors enjoyed. Here we are in the year of 1948-1949, as diginified Seniors. Though some of us wished the year would hurry and end, I believe all of us will miss dear old W. C. H. S. sometime during our further span of life. Dave Lewis from Villa Grove, came to join us. We are sorry to hear that we will lose Dorothy Hasler before the year is over. We again elected John Walsh—president, Dave Lewis—vice-president, Norma Thorp—secretary-treasurer, Verlin Ryan—reporter, and Miss Ross and Page Eleven Mr. Schettler—sponsors. We presented our play “Wedding Spell ” rn November 12. On February 14, we sponsored a box social in the schor 1 gym. Roberta Mollet was chosen for the D. A. R. award of the yea . Our class has earned enough money to take a trip to Detroit. Mich., by bus and from there take a boat cruise to N'agara Falls New York, 't will be a swell trip and here’s hoping all Seniors, will go! LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Class of “49” KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That we the 49’ers, of Wapella Unit District No. 5, Wapella Illinois, being of sound mind, disposing memory, realizing the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, desiring to make a fair, equitable disposition of all our en� tl 1 ’ estate, both real, personal, and mixed, do hereby make and publish this, our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking any and all former testamentary dispositions made by us at any time heretofore.

Gold had been discovered in Sacramento by Leo Ryan, who was gazing at stars prospecting for gold dust and fell into a mine. He came up with a mouthful of gold teeth, thus starting the gold rush of (19) “49”. It takes us a pair of seconds to get to Yellowstone National Park where we find Norma Thorp, drinking her fill from Old Faithful. We make an effort to stop, but having so much speed when we finally come to a standstill we are in Butte, Montana. Walking down the street, gawking around, we see a queer looking Indian, in front of a cigar store. As we approach we find said Indian to be our former classmate, Wayne Miller nonchalantly smoking on the profits of his employer. Looking in we find Willis Hartlipp is the proprietor of the establishment. Telling Wayne of our need for money, he suggests we visit the back room of the store. A few minutes later we emerge, pockets bulging with cash and chips. (Potato of course.) Taking off once more we head towards the Salt Lake area. Seeing a cloud of salt dust on the Salt flats we assume it’s Francis Karr, driving his racer. Knowing we could never overtake him because of his driving habits, we are about to go on when we see him stopped by a policeman. Fearing we would have to pay his bail we take off for Hurricane, Utah. Due to a shortage of fuel we stop at a dude ranch for a fresh supply. There, to our surprise we find Dave (Deadeye) Lewis running the ranch. Passing the corral we find Dave’s chief helper, Dorothy Hasler, branding steers. After getting our fuel supply renewed we take off again, headed towards Grand Canyon. Coming to the Canyon we make a daring leap in order to get across. As we land on the other side we almost hit Joyce Leggett, who is patiently filling in the canyon with a tablespoon. Going on we pass through the Petrified Forest where we hear the vigorous chopping of Kenneth Scott, a lumberjack. Our next point of interest is Las Vages, Nevada. As we enter the town we hear Verlin Ryan broadcasting a fight at the Last Chance Saloon. It seems Dugan Troxel, a card shark, who wasn’t sharp enough, was caught holding too many aces. After the excitement is over we move on. Being ahead on our schedule we decide to run through Death Valley. We find Verneal Fryman, the determined geologist, searching for life. Fearing she would use us as specimens, we hastily hurry away. At last we reach our destination, Sacramento. Our chief interest being gold we go at once to Leo’s mine. There are many prospectors who have come from far and wide. The most outstanding one is Eileen Zimmerman. Eileen is prospecting for gold her own way—in Leo’s pockets. Seeing that Eileen will get all Leo’s gold and the prospectors Page Fourteen all that from the mine, we find that our trip has been in vain. Our spirits being very low we go to Diamond Jim Brady’s for a new outlook on life. As we enter the door we hear the beautiful warbling of Betty Wickenhauser, the talented singer. Betty being a big hit, the place is very crowded and we decide not to stay. Having heard that Dorma Houchin is the big star in “The Outlaw” now playing at the Grand Theater, we decide to attend. After searching for quite some time and being unable to find the theater, we become disgusted with life in Sacramento and decide to go to San Francisco. We take off again in our covered wagon and come to the Golden Gate Bridge. We find Donna Sprague who stops us and tries to sell us the bridge for $20. Refusing to buy, Donna shoves us off the bridge. Swimming to shore we encounter a decrepit beachcomber. Who should it be but John Walsh! When John sees and recognizes us he hurries away down the beach. Upon his back, we see a sign in big letters, Be Beautified At Thora Watson’s Salon. Being in need of beauty care, we hurry to the establishment. Upon entering we find it for male movie stars only, but being old friends, Thora attends to us and we emerge looking somewhat better. Having lost our means of transportation we walk. When we round the corner, to our establishment, we see our vehicle. Roberta Mollet had found it and is now using it for her own personal use to direct tourists over the city. When we stopped her and demanded he get out we saw Rosemary Scogin inside the wagon. When she is not collecting tickets she picks pockets, as a side line of course. Having the wagon back in our possession and thoroughly discouraged, we decide to head back towards Wapella. Arriving home the passengers resume their responsibilities. Eddie Toohill finds his farm a little worse from the neglect. Donna Lee Wilson resumes her job as principal. She finds the school has run very smoothly during her absence, as do all schools when the principal is gone. A few days later a telegram was received from Leo Ryan. He had just discovered a new mine close to his old one. Had we stayed we would have at least a share of his wealth. As it is now we gained nothing from the trip and also gained nothing by coming home. Page Fifteen HATCHET ORATION When the time comes for the Seniors to reap the rewards of burning the midnight oil in the form of diplomas, it is also the time for the Class of ’49 to pass on to its successors the traditional hatchet made by Elmer Stone, Class of ’22. Before giving you this memorable trophy and the responsibilties that go hand in hand with the acceptance of it, we wish to suggest a few reforms that will make your class more meritorious of this award. First, we think that more class spirit would help in drawing your class closer together and you would have more accomplished by all. We cite the example of your poor attendance at class meetings. Second, we feel your scholastic achievement is not quite up to par—more of you should be on the honor roll. We also think that you need to improve your initiative and your ability to get things done. Although we have mentioned some things that need correction in your class, we realize that no class is perfect. We were not quite perfect, and we were called down by our predecessors too. We hope that we have made corrections that have improved our class the past year, a3 we hope that you will make changes in your class that will work toward the betterment of it. As a whole we think your class is one of the best, and we feel sure that you will live up to our expectations in carrying on the responsib 1-ities bestowed with this Hatchet. So, as we make our mark in the annals of time, we present this Hatchet to the Class of 1950. JUNIOR RESPONSE We Juniors of ’49, thank the Seniors for this Hatchet. We will do our best to uphold the traditions of this Hatchet and become a good Senior class. We know that we have made mistakes, and are trying to correct them. You have also had some uncooperative spirit among your members. We notice a number of you Seniors whose names haven’t been on the honor roll. On the whole we think you had a swell class. You excelled in cooperative spirit and ability to get things done. We believe that we can live up to the fine example you have set in your Senior year, and to your expectations of us. In bidding you farewell, may we wish you success and happiness in your future. We will be glad to see you go, although we shall miss you; and we shall try to be as good a Senior class as you were. We are proud and happy to accept the Hatchet, which we shall pass on to the next deserving class. Page Sixteen L d! MM Page Seventeen JUNIOR CLASS Left to right: Eugene Linderman (pres.).

Due to an instrument demonstration in the early fall, there has been an increase of 35 students taking instructions in band music. These are expected to join the band the latter part of the second semester. We have had two new instruments added, an alto horn and a sousaphone. There are two additional girls’ ensembles and one boys’ ensemble beginning the second semester. The band and a girls’ ensemble performed for the DeWitt County Home Bureau in late fall. The sextette A and two other groups performed for the DeWitt County Farm Bureau at Clinton High School in January. All groups, grade and high school, took part in the Christmas program, including rhythm band, tonette band, high school band, 7th and 8th grade chorus, high school chorus, boys’ ensemble, and two girls’ sextettes. A spring concert is being planned for April 22nd with all groups participating. The sextette A is entering the contest at Bloomington on March 26th. The main emphasis, this year, has been to interest everyone in music from grades 5 through 12. An unsolved problem still remains, which is uniforming the band. It is hoped to accomplish this soon.

Because of one of these lapses he has forgotton the name of his bride. He has been dating four girls and he is sure one of them is his wife. He calls ia his trusty friend Charlie Cooney to aid him in his search. Then he invited the four girls Angelica, Frances, Nicki and Ruth to his apartment. The man-hunting tactics of Julia Pettingill, who is four times a widow, and the antics of Charlie Cooney to escape her clutches, are hilarious. In addition the pilfering of a grandfather’s clock, a straight laced frightened butler, a sharp shooting Southern Colonel, and flat footed Dick Tracy combine to form an atmosphere of complete amusement.

Glenna Thayer, Charles Luker and Wanda Bray. “LET ME OUT OF HERE” This is a tale of two girls who are employed as typists sharing an apartment. Eve, has an aunt who believes she is attending an exclusive girls’ school. Bona, has a handsome brother that Eve would like to meet. Much to Eve’s despair her aunt is coming to visit her. Unknown to the girls, Bona’s brother Garret and his friend Victor Ward come to town on business. The girls in an effort to fool Eve’s aunt have a friend pose as Eve’s teacher. While Victor and Garret await the girls, Victor tears his trousers. Garret goes to have the trousers mended. By wearing a kimona Victor succeeds in fooling the landlady by pretending he is one of the girls with a bad cold. Eve’s aunt and her gentleman friend think Victor is a burglar. With Garret stealing his own father’s clothes. Hazel, the fainting maid, and Stevie Cobb, the superstitious colored elevator boy. This play definitely has its complications, but all ends happily.

Cooper, is the Chapter Mother. Their motto is “Toward New Horizons”; their colors, red and white; their flower, red rose. The Kiris must earn degrees awarded for accomplishment in F.H.A. The standard pin has the emblem of a house supported by two hands. 1st degree—indicates junior homemaker by adding a small key to standard pin. 2nd degree—Chapter Homemaker—is indicated by adding a scroll to the standard pin. 3rd degree—State Homemaker—a tourch is added to the pin. 4th degree—American Homemaker—a rose is added. Each year the first week in November, the President has set aside as National F.H.A. week and each day as a celebration for this week. Our F.H.A. celebrated this week by doing something each day. The sectional officer is Anita Greene. She helps plan meetings and acts as chairman of the public relations. One business meeting a month is planned. Once a month there is a night meeting, outside of school hours, in a specialized subject. Each month they have one party. This year they are competing to win a state award. In doing this, they try to promote better relationships between European countries by adopting a school, and sending Christmas packages. They have made Red Cross dresses. Each month they plan a money making scheme. A scrap book is being kept for the purpose of entering it in the section contest during the year. F. F. A. The motto of the F.F.A. is: Learning to do; Doing to learn; Earning to live; Living to serve. The F.F.A. is national in scope. It covers all the states except one; also Porto Rco and Hawaii. It is the closest knit organization for farm boys. It originated in Virginia in 1923 and grew to nationwide proportions in four years. The membership is entirely voluntary but the boy must be an agriculture student. There are four degrees: green hand, future farmer, state farmer, and the American farmer. These degrees are based on schoolastic achievement, project achievement, community service, and farm program diversification. Officers of the local chapter are elected annually. Each chapter Page Twenty-eight must have sanction of state, national officers, and board of trustees before a year’s business can be carried on. Our local officers are: President, Charles Luker; Vice-President; Robert Thayer: Treasurer, Merwin Cusey; Reporter, Loyal Madden; Advisor, Mr. Chas. Schettler. Their activities for the year include the buying of one gilt, by the chapter, for $125. The Spotted Poland China bred gilt was loaned to a member, Leo Ryan, with the understanding that he care for it and its pigs until they are six months old. At this time he must return the gilt and two female pigs to the chapter to be distributed in the same manner. Other activities were: annual seed sale, picking up corn, scrap iron drive, F.F.A.

Betty Wickenhauser to John Walsh, “Where did you learn to kiss like that?” John: “Siphoning gas.” Charles Luker to Mr. Schettler in Geography: “Boy, Alaska sure is a funny country.” Mr. Schettler: “What makes you say that?” Charles: “Well, I read an advertisement the other day that said, ‘Alaskan Eskimo spitz dogs five dollars each .” Mr. Schettler: “Well, what is so unusual about that?” Charles: “I’ve got ten dollars that says he can’t do it.” Mike Miller: “Dad, give me a dime, please.” Mr. Miller: Mike don’t you think you are getting too big to be forever begging for dimes?” Mike: “I think you are right, dad.
