H. A. Loyal Madden F. F. A. Richard Reynolds Athletics Thomas Ryan Frank Thorp Humor Priscilla George Howard Hedrick Foreword This yearbook contains materials of fact and fiction about the Wapella Community Unit District High School. We have herein attempted to portray the joys and sorrows of the students of this, our alma mater. The materials we have gathered can only be applied to Wapella, the heart of the state of Illinois. It does, however, lead us to believe that our influence is disseminated throughout the state; because we are the heart. Due to the fact that we are the heart, we feel that our pulse is felt in more areas throughout the state than any other small town of comparable size and facilities. This book is assembled with the thought in mind that regardless of the vari ous veins and arteries of ways of life that each pupil concerned might take, later on he will remember and think back upon his happy days at W. C. H. S. Acknowledgement is made to the staff, the members of the senior class, the other class members, faculty, board members, and all others who had any connection with making our yearbook a success. In Memory of the Historic “LONE ELM” Erected Ry DeWitt Clinton Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution June 14, 1923 UOlQVOIp dQ i( ulion We, the Seniors of 1951, wish to dedicate our year-book to the Community Club. We wish to express our thanks to those whose untiring efforts in the organization of the Wapella Community Club have made great progress toward improving our school and keeping it the community center; to those of the Club who have spent so much of their time in preparation and presentation of some of the superb programs which have been planned for the regular monthly meetings; to the officers of the Club and their advisory council for the many ideas and trends of thought which have to a great extent benefited our school; to the two chairmen, Glenn Vandervoort and Louis Wickenhauser, who have so willingly taken the lead for a better and stronger community organization; and lastly to the people who have been in the background, yet forward enough to lend moral and physical support to the entire program as it is set forth by the Community Club. Thanks also are expressed by the board of education, the administration, and the faculty for the backing which they have received from the Community Club. lhe faculty of W. C. H.

The officers elected were: president, Mary Blanche Short; vice-president, Howard Hedrick; secreta.y-treasurer, Anita Greene; and reporter, Kent Harris. Mrs. Cusey, the home economics teacher, and Mr. Mara, the mathematics teacher, were selected as our sponsors. Again, we were well represented. Eight boys were out for basketball; and Anita, Juanita, and Donna were cheerleaders. Several took part in band, chorus, F.H.A., and F.F.A. Our class sponsored an all-school Halloween party. We sold magazines to raise money to give the seniors a prom, and we topped our goal, set at $500, by selling $512 wo th of subscriptions. Our first experience at giving a play was on March 30, when Senior Class History (Continued) our class presented Thanks Honey. It was a successful play. Our big achievement of the year was the prom which we gave for the seniors. With much hard work from our members, sponsors, and officers, we feel it was a highlight that we or they will never forget! This brings us up to that big year looked forward to by all, yet may be regretted by some. This year we feel very dignified and still proud of our large class and of old W.C.H.S. as we become Dignified Seniors.' We had thirty-one members enrolled in our class. The class officers were: president, Howard Hedrick; vice-president, Doris Wicken-hauser; secretary-treasurer, Lois Short; and reporter, Frank Thorp. Mrs. Blue and Mr. Schettler were our sponsors. This year our main class interest seemed to be in athletics. Eight boys were out for basketball; and Juanita Miller and Anita Greene were again cheerleaders. There were also several who joined chorus, band, F.H.A. and F.F.A. Early in the year we obtained our rings which we had ordered the previous year. We got them from the Herff-Jones Inc. Our pictures were taken by the Blankenberg Photographers in Kankakee, Illinois. Our play The Minx From Missouri, was very good even though it was delayed until December 14. The Senior Class sponsored a carnival on March 16. It consisted of a chili supper, booths, bingo, side show, cake walk, and a dance. All in all, our class has been a good one, gaining much from W. C. H. S. We hope other classes may remember us for what got .! we have done Last Will And Testament ('hiss of 51 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal at Wapclla, Illinois, this 25th day of May, 1951. Senior Class of 1951 Signed by the said Senior Class of 1951 and by them declared to be their Last Will and Testament, and attested by us witnesses thereto, in the presence of each other, at Wapella, Illinois, this 25th day of May. 1951. Imogene Blue Charles Schettler Class Prophecy It is a beautiful day in the near future a; we go in search of our pilot and co-pilot. Rose Ella Quaid and Charles Mouser, respectively. Rose Ella insisted on being pilot since she doesn't trust Charles' driving for some reason — 1 wouldn't know why. Ah — here is Hartman's one-stop rocket and jet port, and there we find our jet plane and pilots, all ready for our flight. It seems we are about ready for the take-off. But wait —haven't we forgotten something? Oh yes — our nurse for the trip, Priscilla George. Now, how did we overlook her? Here she comes now, with a first-aid kit in each hand. She must be anticipating a rough trip! At last — we are in the air and heading north. We have heard Mary Blanche Sho t now owns, of all things, a chicken farm! Flying over her place, we find the rumor to be true—and how she loves the little creatures! It must be wonderful to be so devoted to one's work! Stopping in Chicago, we go at once to the office of Frank Thorp, doctor of psychiatry. Frank, being frank, admits that his best patient is usually himself. It must be a tough life, Frank, being your own patient, but we re sure you'll make the grade. Our next stop in Chicago is at the portrait studios of Betty and Mary Hasler. Betty and Mary persuade us to let them draw our portraits to send back home. Do a good job, girls! Next, we continue on to Detroit. There we are told about a new large automobile plant and, being curious, we fly to the edge of town to see it. To our great surprise we discover the co-owners are no other than Bob Wilson and Merwin Cu ey! They manufacture Fordillac, the car of the future. With two great business men like that for owners, the plant is sure to be a great success. Their designers are Richard Reynolds and Mervin Cusev, who also have a car-wrecking business on the side Uiiss Prophecy (Continued) We rt off again! Our next visit is to the laboratories of Kent Harris and Donna Linderman, partners. They have discovered a new drug for tiredness, Tired-a-Col, which is being made very famous by their publicity managers, Juanita Miller and Anita Greene. Good luck, kids! As we fly westward toward California, we drop in on Doris Wickenhauser who is such a jewel of a secretary that her boss gives her a raise of $10 every month! Tell us how you do it, Doris! In Hollywood, we notice the floodlights announcing the premiere of the motion picture, The Maddening Dream which introduces the fabulous new star, Helen Klee-mann. Let's stop and get her autograph. Now our jet plane is headed down Texas way. Don your boots and spurs, Podnuh! The first things (and the last things) we see are cattle, cattle, and more cattle! But at last we find a ranch house. The sign over the gate outside says, and I quote: Tex Hedrick's Diamond X Dude Ranch. To our great surprise upon entering the house, we find that Tex is no other than our old classmate. Andy Hedrick! Andy offers to show us around. During our tour of the ranch, we noticed two dudes arguing over who is going to put the second saddle on the horse as no one would want to ride behind without a saddle. As they turn around, we discover that they are our former classmates, Rosemary Lange and Phyllis Stone. Better be careful, girls, or the horse will settle the argument. As we go through San Antonio, we see a large signboard which reads: Bob Short's Flea Circus—Complete In Every Detail—Including Hula Dancers. But Bob! You didn't tell us! Also advertised on the billboard are his two widely-known flea trainers, Jessie Welch and Mary Underwood. Ah! I'll bet that’s the life! Also in San Antonio is Beverly Marge's Barber Shoppe. I wonder if -we will have to have an appointment. They are the only women barbers in town and seem to be doing quite a business. We wish you luck, girls. Later, as we stop over at Miami Beach we decide to look the town over. On a main boulevard we see the sign. Carstens Model Agency. Not John! But it is, and his business manager is Bill Toohill. In the next room posing for a fashion advertisement is. of all people, Lois Short, who, John tells us, is his chief model. At last! We turn the nose of our rocket ship homeward. On the way home Priscilla, our nurse, being the avid basketball fan she is, is reading the sports page of the widely circulated newspaper, The Wapello Times, published in Wapella by that great and former classmate of ours, Tommy Ryan. Keep up the good work, Tommy. Soon Priscilla discovers an article which declares that renowned coach. Loyal Madden, as No. 1 college coach of the year. His team has won thirty-eight games straight. We wish you the best of luck, Loyal, and hope you win thirty-eight more! We land at the rocket port and find another former classmate, Carol Morris, waiting to welcome us. Carol, although residing in Wapella, has just opened the Ellis-Morris toast-to-coast chain of restaurants. I imagine it keeps her pretty busy, but she still had time to welcome us home. - -Acbivi b ies (Calendar Of Events 1950-.)! AUGUST 28 Teachers' Meeting. 29 Classes all day— Here we go again!

More of the students have taken an interest in music, which we are very glad to see. The school band has thi ty-five members and there are several students starting on instruments. We hope they keep up the gtxxi work. This summer the band members held two ice c earn socials to raise money to help pay for our band uniforms. At the last ice cream social we got all dressed up in our new uniforms for the first time to play for the people. On September 21, 1951, the bind went to Bloomington to march in the Centennial pa ade. That was the first time our band had ever marched, and we found out that it was a lot of fun (if we had not gotten so wet!), The band has played at all of the home basketball games, and we have taken part in ;ome of the Community Club programs. There are forty-two members in the mixed chorus. We are glad to see that the boys have found out that they can sing. The boys have taken a very active and much needed parr. The mixed chorus and bind participated in the DeWitt County Music Festival held at Farmer City on February 7, 1951. It gave us a lot of experience, and we hope there will be another next year. Our main programs presented this year were the Christmas program and the annual spring concert, both of which were presented to the public in the high school gym. We are quire proud of our growth and musical achievements this year, and we a-e looking to;ward to larger and be.ier musical groups in our school next year.

The first meeting of the F. H. A. was held September 6, 1950 with an enrollment ot 31. Mrs. Carl Thorp was selected as our chapter mother. Mary Blanche Short attended F. H. A. Camp at Lake Bloomington August 2 through 6, 1950. As incoming president she was the chosen delegate to represent Wapella Chapter F. H. A. She was the bugler for the area in which she stayed playing Revellie' in the morning and playing for flag raising and flag lowering. She had many experiences and learned a great deal about F. H. A. On October 7. 1950. Mrs. Cooper. Miss Swafford, Mary Short, Roemary Lange and Sarah Thorp arended a Sectional meeting at Mahomer. On November 13 1950. F. H. A. installation was held for initiation of the new members and office s. We served punch and sandwiches to rhe public F. H. A. (Continued) We observed National F. H. A. Week November 12 through 18.

On January 13, 1951 officers and Miss Swafford went to Champaign to make a radio program which was later broadcast on the radio. The topic that they discussed was Children's Clothing. This was part of Miss Heathman's program, For You At Home which was presented the following Monday morning. F. F. A. We sold popcorn at basketball games this year, which is something the F. F. A. had not done before. The machine that we used belongs to Mr. Kidd, who bought it to sell popcorn at softball games last summer. He agreed to rent the machine to us to pop corn for the basketball games. We have made some profit this year after the expenses were paid. We have sold seeds in a different way this year. We showed our customers what seeds were available in a seed catalogue, then we filled our order blanks and sent them to the seed company. When the seeds came, we delivered them and collected the money. We also had a contest to see which team could sell the most. We had four teams and the two lowest teams had to give the two highest ones a party. Our chapter still has a gilt chain project. Albert Summers took one of the gilts, but he didn't have very good luck with her. The other one was given to Jim Wickenhauser. The gilt project is a very good idea to help keep the F. F. A. going financially, and it also helps the agricultural boys get a start in purebred hogs. There were only two boys who went to the F. F. A. convention at Kansas City this year. They were Frank Thorp and Merwin Cusey. They had a good time and also learned a great deal. Frank's father tried to take them in his airplane, but the fog got so heavy along the Mississippi that they had to turn back and catch a train for Kansas City. We had a banquet as has been the custom for the past few years. It always turns out well, because all the members help in getting ready for it. This banquet usually takes most of the monev we make from our different activities during the year Cheerleaders Standing: Anita Greene, Dorothy Lange Seated: Juanita Miller, Audrey Greene Absent: Helen Horns Basketball First Team Second Row: Merwin Cusey and Richard Mos-bach, (Managers), Kent Harris, Mer-vin Cusey, Loyal Madden, Thomas Ryan First Row: Mr. Kidd (Coach), Howard Hedrick, Frank Thorp, Richard Reynolds.

Our baseball team was not very successful from the standpoint of winning games, but considering everything, the boys did as well as could be expected. We did not have very many boys out for the sport, and the majority of those who were out were underclassmen who had not had much real experience in playing. We also played some very good teams, but we think that next year, since only five seniors leave us, that our underclassmen should win some games from rhe practice they received this year.
