Those who were on board at the start were: Betty Alderson Robert Andrews Carson Balbae Lorren Bailsman Marjorie Beecher Robert Bourquin Mildred Cook Milton Cook Opie Cook Richard Enright Irving Gilbertson Milton Goilmer Clarence Grindey Billy Grindey Marvin Murray (Stars indicate Raymond Ilalsted Dora Hicks Doris Hicks Harold Homb Delvin Jones Franklin Leverton Marjorie Lincieeam Vivian Lower Shirley Mamtnoser Pauline McKee Marjory Murray Nicholas Newman Nelda Perry Carlyle Rhyner Vail Scott se who dropped out du Paul Simmons Sarah Simmons Marilyn Sineox Keith Slothower O. J. Smith Viola Stewart Leora Thomasson Maxine Thruman Albert Wickler Fern Wills Wvnette Winters Jilane Wolfra m Anna Marie Yolni Mary Jane Zeigle Robert Lee Zink g the first year.) Seeing the size of our class, we realized the opportunity we had to turn out some real accomplishments and proceeded at once in this direction. Beginning with the first six weeks’ period we were well represented on the honor roll. We are proud that fifteen of us have succeeded in maintaining averages of ninety or above throughout the four years. During our Sophomore year Irving Gilbertson left us while Leona and Francis Hinds joined our group for a sunester. We devoted the large part of our third year toward raising money to finance the Junior-Senior Reception. Two well-attended performances of our class play, “Spring Fever,” gave us a good stirt. After selecting a deep-sea theme for decoration we spent many busy (yet joyful) hours constructing a huge whale’s mouth for the orchestra to sit in. making mermaids, an octopus, and hundreds of queer looking fish. But we all felt more than rewarded for our labors when on that night of May 16. the Seniors walked in and expressed extreme satisfaction. However, we soon realized that the reception’s success was due not only to the work of the class, but also to the unstinted help of our advisor, Mrs. Uglow, and to her daughter’s. Meeting again in the fall of 1949, we were well reinforced with students from Apple River and with John Rowe and Elwood Hanson. During our second class meeting, we voiced our desire for a yearbook, and received approval from Miss Groom, our advisor, in spite of the extra work it would cause her. Besides each class member’s helping in this undertaking, nineteen Seniors participated in band, twelve took part in speech arid dramatics (not including Senior Play), and nine received letters in athletics. As these words go to press, we teel sorrowful to see the last few days ot this never-to-be-forgotten journey slip away one by one. Then we suddenly realize that we have only a good start in life—that we have yet to show the world what we are capable of doing. Thus we now resolve that we will endeavor to the utmost to make our future history even more worthy than our past. by 0. J. Smith.

Besides the concert band, we have a junior band of 25 members. Throughout the school year the band plays for athletic events and school programs. ft has been the custom of the band to sponsor a carnival each year, the proceeds of which finance the band’s trip to the district band contest. This year the carnival was held on Valentine’s Day, the halls being decorated with strings of red and white paper hearts. The first attraction of the evening was an hour long “Variety Show” held in the assembly. Then after the usual carnival stunts, danc- ing in the elaborately decorated gym, closed the evening. A band concert was given at the high school shortly before the band entered the district band contest at Forivston. We were all very proud when the band under the excellent direction of Mr. Rundle, won a first division rating and were thus entitled to compete at the state band contest at Glen Ellyn on May 3rd. Our four band soloists, Gordon White, Beulah Reader, Harriett Leverton and Celvin Jones all rated well enough to be eligible for the State Contest at Glen Ellyn. Gordon was not able to attend because of illness but Delvin and Harriett rated second and Beulah rated third. In addition to contest work preparation for the county music and literary festival kept the band busy. MIXED CHORUS ACTIVITIES The most important project of the mixed chorus this year was the Christmas pageant, “Christmas Greetings,” written and directed by Mr. Rundle. '1 his was presented in a series of tableaus framed as Christmas cards. One of the most impressive scenes of the pageant was that of choir boys singing in front of an effectively lighted stained glass window made by Mr. Wainwright. The spring activity of the mixed chorus was participation in the County Music and Literary Festival. SPEECH ACTIVITIES The 1940 local literary contest was held in the high school auditorium on Tuesday evening. March 25. The following students entered and were judged by teachers from Winslow High School. Oratory: Paul Simmons. 1st place; Carson Balbach, 2nd place. Original Oratory: Elwood Hanson, 1st place. Verse Reading: Mary Jane Zeigle. 1st place; Mary Ellen Price. 2nd place. Dramatic: Marjorie Beecher, 1st place; Pauline Jones, 2nd place; Mar- jorie Murray; Francis Eckerman. Humorous: June Kupersinith, 1st place; John Balbach, 2nd place; Dorothy Beyer. One Act Play: The cast of “Submerged,” by Cottman and Shaw, was as follows: Franklin Leverton, Richard Enright 0. J. Smith, Robert Andrews, John Rowe and Gordon White. On April 4 and 5 the first place winners in the local contest and the one act piev srroup competed in the sub-district contest at Freeport, where Paul Sim- mons, Mary Jane Zeigle. and the one act rlav east won the right to compete in the district contest in DoKalb. There Paul won first place in G’lass B and second in the whole «roun and Mary won second in Class B. The one act play cast which received a B rating kept up the old stage tradition, “the play must go on,” Paul cobstituting after two hours of intensive work in the place left vacant by Gordon White’s illness.

O. J. and Carson were supposed to be very learned professors lmt Carson’s pronunciations gave him away. Speaking of pronunciations, Billy’s French was almost as bad as her typing (which was) pretty bad. Incidentally Anna Marie’s interest in bugs didn’t continue after she had won 0. J.’s love. Part of the great adventure for the actors was the wearing of formal gowns and tux- edos. For your information, Keith didn’t wear the socks you see in the picture on the night of the play. JUNIOR PLAY—1940-1941 When the 11)41 Junior Class play, “Charlie’s Aunt,” was presented Dec. J in the high school auditorium, the stag was set with an old-fashioned love seat, an organ, a fireplace, old fashioned lamps, odd table, and a window seat (alias a wash bench). 'Ihe girls of the cast were made up with hair-does of the early 1900’s and wore corresponding costumes. In fact Donna Lucia was so well made up that, true to form, she couldn’t keep her hat on. This same lady, impersonated by Lord Fancourt Baberly, couldn’t find her pocketbook, so she conveniently forgot about handing her card to Sir Francis. But Sir Francis didn’t forget. No man! He prided himself on his perfect memory and read Donna Lucia’s name right out of the air. Laughter as illustratet by “Charlie’s Aunt,” was a potent elexir, a re- vivifying essence, a compound of mirth, a collyrium of joviality, a panacea for the jaundiced, a restorative for the dejected, a balsam for the dumps and a never fail- ing restorative for the sorry sight. Many people came and were cured. SENIOR PLAY—1941 When it was announced that our Senior Play was to be “Our Town,” by Thornton Wilder, there were many who said, “IIow can we produce a play like that. Why don’t we have a comedy?” But most of us were determined to show the community that we could produce a play of such unusual literary value. And we did. In the first act the Stage Manager reviews the history of the town and carries us into the home of the Webb and Gibbs families where we live with the actors a typical entire day. The second act concerns the love affair between Emily Webb and George Gibbs, two younger people just out of high school, and culminates with a moving wedding scene. The third act takes place in the cemetery where Emily has just entered into the midst of the departed. At first she has a little of the desire to go back to life and relive her memories. But she is shown how human people, occupied with their petty occupa- tions and small thoughts know little of true joy and happiness. She learned that truth can be found only in the future. The play is very different in that the Stage Manager is on the stage con- tinually to tell iis most of the story, verv little scenery was used and much of the acting was done in pantomime. -WARREN HI ECHOES- -c “SPRING FEVER” JUNIOR PLAY 1939-1940 Names In Order: Robert Andrews, Marjorie Beecher, Franklin Leverton, Mary Jane Zeigie, Junior Smith, Anna Marie Yohn, Richard Enright, Billy Grindey, Nelda Perry, Keith Slothower, Betty Alderson, Carson Balbach. “CHARLIE'S AUNT'' JUNIOR PLAY 1940-1941 Names In Order: Eric Demar, Delbert Font, Beulah Reader, Clarence Ilall.

Warren opened its season against a powerful Mount Carroll team with a game which ended 26 to 13 for the opponents. 2. The Warren eleven played at Aquin the next week-end and because of some tough breaks were beaten 13 to 0. As in Warren’s first game, the team began a furious drive in the last quarter but were unable to score before the end of the game. 3. Warren High met its third defeat of the season when Stockton outplayed them 18 to 0 at Stockton. 4. Friday night, October 18, Warren journeyed to Galena where they met the Galena squad for a game under the lights. In the second quarter Galena broke loose for the first touchdown of the game and in an attempt to get ahead. Warren threw passes, two of which were intercepted and returned for touch- downs. The game ended 27 to 0 in Galena’s favor. 5. The first win for Warren was obtained at the expense of Livingston. This happened to be the roughest and dirtiest game of season. After Warren kicked off they recovered the ball and advanced it almost to the goal line where they lost it on downs. On the next series of plays Warren kept pushing Liv- ingston back until a fumble proved fatal for them. As the game ended Warren was making a long touchdown drive which might have changed the 2 to 0 score. 6 The annual Turkey Day game proved another defeat for Warren, this time 20 to 0. This ended the season for the Warren team. =0 94 1 m WARREN HI ECHOES € BASKETBALL SQUAD Mack Row—Harold Pox, Marvin Rhyner.

The next night the Warren quintet traveled to Elizabeth where some long shots by one of our opponents’ guards took a close conference game away from Warren. The first home conference game was with a strong Stockton five which gave Warren its second straight defeat. The second conference victory was obtained at the expense of Hanover in a close game. In the return match with Scales Mound, Warren proved too powerful again. The next game was with Stockton. Warren tried a very slow break which had Stockton baffled for the first three quarters. But because of some tough breaks Warren lost the game. Warren, playing its best game of the season, outdid a strong Galena team. Playing in East Dubuque’s small gym, Warren scored its highest of the season. By winning its last conference game from Elizabeth. Warren went into a tic for second place in the U. S. Grant conference. COUNTY TOURNAMENT—First place, Stockton; Second place. Galena; Third place, Hanover.
