WARIIEIV HI ECHOES Edited by the Class of 1952 WARREN HIGH SCHOOL Community Unit District Number 205 Warren, Illinois To Those from Warren TIigli School in The Armed Services Board of Education Left to Right—Clyde Browning, Superintendent; Sadie Waddington, Mayne McFad- den, William Litts, President; Lewis Rowe, Robert Wing, Gerald Doubler, Sec- retary Progress of the Unit Many improvements have taken place in Unit District 205 in the last year, and many more are planned. Some which came about this year are a new agriculture building and a full agriculture course, a better equipped and improved industrial arts room, a book rental system, and a modernization of the home economics de- partment in an attempt to meet the Smith-Hughes requirements. Some library improvements have taken place, and more are planned. For the first time the high school girls have had a physical education teacher of their own and a course meeting state requirements. The proposed building program all depends upon the vote of the people. If the vote for building goes through, a whole new building is planned for Apple River; for Nora a new gym-auditorium and some alterations in the old building, including a kitchen are planned; and a new gym-auditorium, two science rooms,a modern home eco- nomics room, music rooms and alterations in the old Warren building are in the blue prints. The school has applied for admittance to the North Central Association, an ac- crediting agency that will put our school on a higher basis of recognition than it has held before. 5 MR.

On September 3, 1948 a group of twenty students enrolled as Freshmen at Warren High School. They were: Gary Brinker, Delmer Butler, Conrad Craig, Richard Feidler, Leroy Gavigan. Lowell Kant, Richard Krippendorf, Robert Mam- moser, Pat McCoy, Rita Daters, Bonnie Deyo, Isabel Deyo, Jeannette Haeft, Kathryn Holland, Lorraine Kant, Norma Jean Tessendorf, Roland Pax. John Wolfram, Ronnie Wachlin, Pat Bonnet. Our Sophomore class was larger than our Freshmen because of the con- solidation of schools. Those who joined our class were Donna Eells, Anelene Grindey, Robert Grossglouser. William Korte,. Merlin Manley, Joe Nelson, Herbert Webster, Jack Whalen, Cathryn Yeager, and Lavone Haeft. Conrad Craig, Bon- nie Deyo, and Pat McCoy departed from our class. We were happy and interested to visit the office of the Rockford Morning Star. The Junior year brought still more changes to our class. We lost Gary Brinker, Lavone Haeft, and Dick Krippendorf. We gained Jerry Moore and Alvin Gates. We were unable to find the Seniors at the hunt this year. Finally we are about to depart from many friends and go forth and seek out what fate may have in store for us. Our class enrollment is the smallest of our four years. When Rita Daters left our class there were only a mere nine- teen left to graduate. We were completely successful in hiding from the Jun- iors. 14 Class Poem What happened to the Warren Class of Fifty-two? You ask me, Mister? —where are they? —what did they do? Most live around here — few — not many moved away, Just ordinary folk — nice people — I would say. Now Joe has an electric shop — works hard — he would, Got personality — he’s fun — what's more he’s good; Suppose you heard that Kathryn went on the stage, Nice looking woman — slim — she doesn't show her age. And Merlin’s in the army — yeah — down Texas way, He got in — things went well — decided he’d stay And David — army got him too — in personnel — Last time I heard — poor guy — he wasn’t quite so well. And John? — well football — basketball — 'twas all the same, He’s coach at Notre Dame — team wins a lot of games; We don’t see much of Jack — he’s mostly on the go, He’s gabby — has to be — all salesmen are you know. I wonder — you came past that green house — edge of town? Folk come to buy from Bud and Dick for miles around; They call it “Little Bit Of Heaven’’ — guess they’re right, Most any time of year — it’s sure a pretty sight. You looking for some livestock? — want to buy a cow? Or maybe rather get a Poland China sow? Well Bob and Bill and Ronnie — all live on a farm, They’ve got real stock — with pedigrees — as long’s your arm. Lorraine, Jeannette and Donna? — raising kids — all fine, Takes money — patience too — besides a lot of time; Yet with those kids — they’re back behind most everything, You know — P.T.A. — 4-H — all that sort of thing. And Roland? — home town Doc — he married? No! No woman could stand it — he gets too tired — growls so; Got a nurse? — Yeah — his cousin Cathryn — she’s there, She’s calm — she’s gentle — Doc flares up — well, she doesnt’ care. Where’d Jerry hang his shingle? — right here — down two blocks, Some say he’s hard to beat — and tough and hard as rocks; And Anelene? — she's working there — his secretary, She’s efficent — but meek — he makes her fetch and carry. One more? — where's Buzz? — why Mister, don’t you know? — that's me Announcer, sports — or FBI — I planned to be; But changed my mind — I'm making legs — the kind you buy, Good business — good to know you help the other guy. Some things you don’t forget — it’s nice to sit like this, And talk about my class — and laugh — and reminisce — About school pals — our English teacher Edith Groom; Ah, no! You don't forget — not much — the old school room. by Alice Gates Mother of the Editor-in-Chief 15 Junior Class First Row—Shirley Hockman, Janan Opie, Donna Cook, Georgianna Boelk, June Downs, Bernita Runkle, Shirley Mau, Shirley Staver, Sherrill Hodgson.

Years Events This year was filled with many interesting events. The first one we remember is the Home Coming on October 26th, when we entertained Stockton. Then on No- vember 17th, the poultry and grain judging took place. During our Christmas vacation a party, sponsored by the Woman’s Club and the Student Concil was held on December 28th. The annual Countv Basketball Tournment was held at Scales Mound, January 23, 24, and 25. Quite a lot of excitement was created during the week before the Band Carnival on February 11th. The annual Junior and Senior class plays were both a great sucess, the Juniors having their play on November 8th and 9th and the Seniors the 24th and 25th of April. Many group assemblies took place throughout the year. They were: December 3rd, Gypsy Troubadors—December 14th, Quiz program—December 21st, one act play and Christmas program—Jan- uary 11th, Group singing—Febuary 1st, Student assembly—Febuary 22nd, Patriots program—March 7th, Music program—March 19th, Marce Rlyexand, and April 21st, Sam Grathwell. Then in May the two most important days for the Seniors came up. They were of course, the 18th and 23rd, dates of baccalaureate and graduation. 17 Student Council 1st row—William Heller, Donna Cook, Mr. Schmitz, Robert Fouchard (president), Merlin Manley, John Whalen 2nd row—Robert Wing, Kathryn Butler, Josephine Mahoney, Frederick Dubach, William Karolous, Kathryn Saunders 3rd row—Richard Manley, Jerry Appell, Mary Hayes, Alvin Gates, James Fleharty The Student Council completed its second successful year of operation dur- ing the 1951-52 school year. The Council once more sponsored such annual ac- tivities as the March of Dimes Collection, a complete set of assembly programs, dances after basketball games, a Christmas party, movies, a spring picnic and, last but not least, the big Homecoming program. Money for these activities was obtained by such stunts as a cord party, Homecoming dance and a paper collec- tion. A group of ten students went to Chicago to the annual Student Council con- vention, where they profited much by association with student council members from other parts of the state. The Council tried to enlist the interest of the student body and to demonstrate the working of the democratic system among them by holding two meetings in the presence of all high school students. This was an effective way of making the students see that the council functions and the council’s problems are the problems of all the students. By this means and by the adoption of a con- stitution the council established itself more firmly as a working part of the school organization. 19 Library Staff Seated—Jeannette Haeft, Miss Edith Groom (teacher-librarian) Kathryn Saunders.

As soon as school started we began to march and get ready for football games. Then came the homecoming to which we invited bands from South Wayne, Gratiot, Shullsburg, and Benton,. This year’s parade was a bigger success than the preceding year’s Homecoming parade. We were invited to the Shullsburg Homecoming later in the year. Then to conclude the fall activities the band took a trip to Platteville, Wis- consin to take part in a marching contest connected with Platteville State Teachers Homecoming in which our band made a first place in Class “B.” When the football season ended, we started practicing for a concert later in the year. When basketball games started we formed a pep band, which played at home games. On February 11, we presented our winter carnival, a means of making money for paying for instruments and music which were bought during the year. The spring concert, which consisted of the band and girls chorus, was held on April 1. And on April 5, the band and chorus travelled to Fulton for the District contest. On March 11, we presented a Spring Recital which consisted of the band and vocal contestants numbers and on March 15, these contestants travelled to Fulton, Illinois, to participate in the district contest there. To conclude this year’s activities the band will probably take part in the Memorial Day parade and hope to hold several outdoor concerts as we did last year. SPEECH ACTIVITIES Senior Class Play “M’liss” (My Western Miss), the senior class play, directed by Miss Edith Groom was given on April 24 and 25. The play took place in the little mining town of Smith’s Pocket in the Sierras. In Smith’s Pocket lived George Smith (Joe Nelson) and his young daughter, M’liss (Lorraine Kant.) George Smith known as “Bummer” was the town’s loafer, who thought that some day he would strike it rich. M’liss was the only one who had any confidence in him. This three act comedy play was based upon a Bret Harte story. Junior Class Play The Perfect Idiot,” was the Junior Class play, directed by Miss Eleanor Grotkin was given November 14th and 15th. The play took place in the home of Daniel Tennyson. Danny Tennyson, the perfect idiot, was not liked by his school- mates because of his superior attitude. When Puff, the great athletic star became disqualified because of poor grades, the high school gang turned to Danny for help. Many complicated situations arise when Danny gets the ingenious idea of using his hypnotic suggestion invention on Puff. 23 Junior Play Cast First Row—William Heller, Carolyn Jenkins.

The starting lineup was as follows: (Ends) Ronnie Wachlin, Dick Fiedler, (Tackles) Bill Korte, Gary Leverton, (Guards) David Burrows, Jim Neff, (Center) Jerry Moore, (Fullback) John Wolfram, (Halfbacks) Bob Mammoser, Bill Heller, Lee Sigafus, (Quarterback) Robert Fouchard. The capable subsitutes were: (Ends) Bill Mammoser, Kingsley Sigafus, (Tackles) Ronnie March, Gerry Larson, (Guards) Bob Durrstein, Bill Thomas, Kenneth Coad, (Center) Bob Wing, (Backfield) Fred Dubach, Dick Mau. The team was bolstered by Lee Sigafus’s excellent kicking. The first game of the season was non-conference, played at Aquin High in Freeport. After the opening few minutes of the game, Bill Heller scored for Warren but, unable to maintain the lead, Warren lost 6-12. Our second game, played at home, was also a non-conference game, played with Monroe, a much stronger team. Warren lost 0-21. The next was a night game played on Galena’s muddy field, where we lost 6-13. The next game was our homecoming with Stockton. After a bad first quarter, with Stockton scoring twice on fumbles, the Warriors played a very good defensive game. The disappointed homecomers saw the game end with a 19-0 defeat. On November third we traveled to Dubuque to play St. Columbkille. The game was fought hard in four inches of snow and bitter cold. The Warriors lost 0-14. 28 1st row—Robert Fouchard, Lee Sigafus, Donald Toay, Ronald Wachlin, Richard Manley, John Wolfram, Ronald Hicks. 2nd row—Fred Dubach, William Thomas, Robert Cook Gerald Pax, Wilbur Mam- moser, Richard Mau, Coach Sam Milosevich. 3rd row—William Karolus, William Heller, Roland Pax, Gerald Larson, Robert Wing. The Warriors finished the season with a three and seven record in the con- ference and an over-all record of six wins and sixteen losses. The Freshman- Sophomore team finished the year with seventeen wins and three losses — un- defeated on the home floor. Of course the outstanding games were the six that we won plus the Stockton game (42-44 overtime loss) and the Lena game in the district (40-45 loss). The Warriors played good ball in both games, but the breaks went against us. The over-all picture in basketball was satisfactory this year and should improve next year because of the fact that there are only two seniors, Wolfram and Wachlin, on the squad. One of our biggest draw backs this year was the inability to hit free throws. Our team average in free throws was a poor .488, while our team shooting average was a fair .364.

The intramural athletic program was conducted during the noon hour again as it has been in the previous two years. It was open to all boys from the seventh grade through the senior year in high school, except those on the varsity teams. The pro- gram attracted a large number of participants and spectators throughout each phase of it. Touch football started off the program with the opening of school. A six team league was organized with Bud Watson’s “Packers” and Paul Freeburg’s “Rams” tying for the crown. Members of the “Packers” were: Bud Watson, John Wach- lin, Art Bird, Gwenn Brown, Don Hawes, Loren Ingram and Bob Thomas. Members of the “Rams” ’included: Paul Freeburg, Dick Manley, Ronnie Strub, Fred Brown, Bob March and Loren Steigner. As football passed out of the limelight and basketball came to the fore-ground a six team basketball league was formed which carried on until mid-March. Fran Wetzel’s team edged Ted Tollakson’s team for the title. Members of Wetzel’s team were: Fran Wetzel, Bill Heller, John Waehlin, Kingsley Sigafus, Bill Hume and Loren Steigner. An allstar team was chosen by the six captains which defeated Wetzel’s champs two straight games. The members were: B. Watson, B. Korte, R. Durrstein, M. Manley, R. Pax, G. Larson, R. Mammoser, F. Wetzel, K. Sigafus, G. Moore, L. Kant and G. Puckett. As basketball faded out of the picture a volleyball league was organized and provided the noon recreation until weather conditions permitted outside activity. The program culminated with softball the remaining weeks of school. 31 Intramural All Stars 1st row—Bob Mammoser, Francis Wetzel, Kingsley Sigafus, Jerry Moore, Bud Kant, Grant Puckett, 2nd row—Bud Watson, Bill Korte, Bob Durrstein, Merlin Manley, Roland Pax, Gerald Larson, Mr. Gerretson, advisor.
