I I CLASS HISTORY In September, 1951, fifty-eight students enrolled in Warren High School as Freshmen. They were: Sandra McWorthy, Elaine Boelk, Ruby. Downs, Donna Hammer, Joanne Bondele, Linda White, Ursie Price, Darlene Hlurst, Romaine Olthoff, Vivian Rufenacht, Jeanne Beall, Lenora Korte, Janice Hodgson, Mary Jo Haves, Nyla McFadden, Bettie Spore, Janet Hodg- son, Helen Myers, Mary Dower, Mary March, Gene Martin, John Marks Stanley Cox, Fred Dubach, Bill Luy, Bob Kinney, Milton Grose, Fred Brown Glen Heidenroich, Richard Heller, Richard Mau, Donald Kinney, Bob Hcdgson, Jerry Robson, Bill Mammoser, Gerald Pax, James Fleharty, Bob Cook, Kenny Coad, James Estorf, Harvey McGivney, Gwenn Brown, Tom Lerhan, Jerry Hai-wick, Haldor Brickner, Carroll Halsted, James Barker, Vernon Williams, Bill Karolus, Duane Ingram, Dick Gray, Nancy Frederick, Irene TrickeL Lie yd Busch, LeRoy Steitz, Walter Gollmer. As Freshmen we were initiated into the rites of high school. As Sophomores we lost Linda White, Elaine Boelk, Mary Dower, Bob Kinney, Milton Grose, Donald Kinney, Bill Mammoser, Nancy Fredericks, Irene Trickel, Lloyd Busch and Walter Gollmer. We gained Nola Crayne, Charles Staicar, Donna Sieren and Arlan Broege. This year we initiated the incoming Freshmen and attended return parties. We were happy to visit the office of the Freepoit Journal Standard in connection with our English work. At the beginning of our Junior year we were happy to gain Catherine Seffrood, Paul Duncombe, David Bcwer, Paul Lameyer, and Mary Dower, but sad to loose Donna Hammer, Mary Jo Hayeo, James Fleharty, Kenny Coad, LeRoy Steitz, Nola Crayne and Donna Sieren. Our third year con- tained many important events. We took part in the annual Junior-Senior hunt in which we were the victors. One of c-ur biggest thrills came when we received our class rings. The highlight of the year was the Senior prom and the banquet. We are now Seniors! Ardith Rowland, Ursie Price, Romaine Olthoff, Jerry Robson and James Estorf have left us, but Phyllis Martin joined us. This year we were again victors of the Junior-Senior hunt. We were very happy to measure for caps and gowns, have our Senior pictures taken, and order cur announcements and cards, choose our class colors purple and whPe, our flower—the white carnation with a purple tint and our motto “Thought means life, since those who do not think do not live in any high, or real sense. Thinking makes the man.” We shall often recall our four memorable years at Warren Tteh. JAMES BARKER Poverty is no disgrace to aj man but it is confoundly inconvenient.

In spite of the drizzling rain, which drenched the parade and faded the crepe paper on the pretty floats, everyone seemed happy. The crowning ceremonies at the dance in the evening com- pleted an all but perfect day. Charlene Wear was crowned queen of the. homecoming, and her court was made up of Linda Toay, Kay Hayes, and Sherry Hansen. Our football captain, Fred Dubach, was king, and his court consisted of Bob Cook, Bob Thomas and Dick Gray. Junior-Senior Hunt, October 18, 1954 The quiet seniors hid in a box car beside the Eatman Produce building for an hour and ten minutcjs with the passing of trains came the noise. Then the real silence ensued when the juniors’ lights wa(re flashed on the car. Th« seniors hardly dared breathe a sigh of relief when they were not discovered. Halloween Dance, October 30, 1954 The Hallowqen dance, sponsored by the Mothers’ Study Club, not a costume party this year, was fairly well attended. The high school ex- tends thanks to the organizations that have sponsored this event. Christmas Party, December 23, 1954 The student council sponsored the Christmas party on the after- noon before vacation and furnished candy bars for refreshments. Group singing of Christmas carols and a gift exchange made up the entertainment. Christmas Dance, December 27, 1954 The annuhl Christmas dance, sponsored by the Woman’s Club was attended by a large majority of the high school students, with alumni in the minority this year. Freshman-Sophomore Dance, February 1955 The traditions of initiation were not followed this year, but the gen- erous scphdmores gave the freshmen a party to welcome them to high school. After-the-game Dance, January 14, 1955 Once after-the-game dance, with the Music Makers to play, was sponsored by the Student Council and fairly well attended. Late-in-the-year Events As we go to prefcs we anticipate a junior-senior party to pay off the hunt debt on March 4th, the athletic banquet on March 22nd, the junior- senior prom on May 7th, and the senior trip some time in April.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The student Council completed its fifth successful year of operation during the 1954-1955 school year. As in tihe past, the council sponsored such activities as assembly programs, dances after basketball games, the annual Christmas party, the March of Dimes collection, and a very highly successful homecoming program. A group of three students from the Student Council and their advisor, ivix. Tucker, attended the Northeast-Northwest District Convention of Illinois Association of Student Councils held at Elgin, Illinois. The theme of the convention was “Sharing is the Heart of Program.” The featured speaker was Mr. Jesse Owens, former Olympic Champion. Again the Student Council’s big project was our traditional home- coming. When our football team over-powered Galena by a score of 13 to 7 the dance that evening became a great success. The Student Council sponsored four assembly programs this year, supplied by the University of Wisconsin extension and including on Feb- ruary 23rd a lecture with illustrative slides by Henry Briggs, a Maine naturalist, and an entertainment by the Van Petts on March 24th.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY HEADIN’ FER A WEDDIN’, the Junior class play, was directed by Mr. Stanley Krippner and given November 11th and mn. It is a huibuiy comedy centered around young Homer Hollowbone. Homer lives in a snack in tne mountains with nis shiAiess tamily. His Maw and brotner EDenezer, work hard while Paw only eats, sleeps and teaches Gloria, his pet skunK, to do tricks. Sarah Jo and Gracie May, his sisters, spend a.ieir lime teasing Hpmer and chasing boys. Pip and Pepper the two younger Hollowbone boys, haven’t yet learned to talK and spend most oi i-htir lime diving under tables and inducing a general air oi contusion. Our hero. Homer Hollowbone, has fallen in love with a debutante whose picture he found wrapped around seme fish. He writes to the girl, telling her that he lives in a mansion, will be vacationing in Europe over the summer, and is a very reiined, educated person. Granapappy is still out on one of his long hunting trips, and now a snow storm has tied everything up. The family learnsi that Hcimer has been writing to a girl, and they jump to the conclusion that the letters were written to Bertha Blairhouse, just as she, her widowed Maw and her brother Slim arrive to take refuge from the SPorm. Homer is busy ducking Bertha when another unexpected guest arrives� -—no less than Melissa Dugan, the girl to whom Homer has been writing. She tells them that her companions, Hortense and Isabel Todd, have become lost in the snow storm. She is on her way to marry a hand- some.well-educated young gentleman with whom she has been correspond- ing. Desperately HI mer tries to keep her from discovering his identity. His efforts misfire, however; Melissa learns the trutin, and Homer fUnds himself engaged to Bertha. He manages to wiggle out of the en- gagement, however, by pretending he is a dog. Grandpappy surprises everybody by proposing to Hortense. Paw saves the day by teaching Gloria, his pet skunk, to shovel the side walk. Isabel signs the skunk f; : her television show, thus enabling Homer to go to college. Homer is for- given by Melissa and everybody is happy. SENIOR CLASS PLAY ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, the Senior class play, was directed by Mr. Stanley Krippner and given March 31st and April 1st. The play revolves around two apparently harmless old ladies, Abby and Martha. Brewster. The plot thickens when their nephew Mortimer accldertly discovers that his narmless” old aunts have actually poisoned twelve men and buried the bodies in the cellar. Mortimer is desperately trying to cover up this fact when in walks Mortimer’s hated brother Jonathan and his accomp- lice Dr. Einstein. Jonathan is a notorious criminal and he too has killed twelve men. Mortimer’s other brother, Teddy, thinks he is Pres- ident Theodore Roosevelt and is constantly blowing his bugle and charg- ing up the stairs. Mortimer finally decides that his entire family is crazy and that it would be unfair for him to ask his girl friend Elaine to marry him. Jonathan learns of the twelve men that his aunts have poisoned, and Mortimer likewise learns cf the twleve men that Jonathan has killed. They try to turn each other in, and after a slight skuffle the police arrive and haul Jonathan away. Jonathan has to go to jail, but he goes with the grim satisfaction that he has killed just as many men as his aunts. They have twelve and he has twelve. Mortimer learns that he is not really a Brewster and therefore he can marry Elaine. The two aunts, along with Teddy,are about to leave for Happydale sanitarium, but before they leave they offer a glass of elderberry wine to Mr. Wither- spoon, the head of the institution. The wine, of course, contains poison, and as Mr. Witherspoon falls dead, the two old ladies shake hands, for they have finally outdone Jonathan. They have thirteen.

The opponents outscored them by cnly 7 points. Warren’s total score was 65 points, compared to 72 points for the opponents. Each game wa s lost so close that the breaks could have gone either way. Starting lineups for Warren were: Dick Gray and David Bower at ends, Bob Hodgson and Tom Sargent at tackles, Dick Mau, Jerry Pax and Jerry Meier at guards. In the backfield were Bob Cook at fulback, Dick Heller and Bob Thomas at halfback, and captain Fred Dubach as quarterback. Our first game was with Acquin, Dick Heller raced to a touchdown early in the first quarter but was called back. Later in the quarter he ran eighteen yards to score. Bob Cock went twenty-five yards in the third quarter to score. That was enough for Warren to win 13-0. In our second game St. Columbkille came out on top with a 13-0 score in a hard-fought battle. The homecoming game was a thriller with Warren beating Galena 13-7. Though the parade was spoiled by the rain, spirit for the game was not dampened. Galena made a great attempt in the fourth quarter to score, but our line held tight down at the goal line. Most of the game was played through rain. Fred Dubach scored both touchdowns on quarter- back sneaks. Bob Cook kicked the extra point. Stockton was our next opponent. From the opening kick-off Bob Cook went ninety yards but was called back because of a penalty. Stockton scored both touchdowns on long passes. Bob Thomas made Warren’s touchdown on a sixty-yard dash. Stockton, getting all the breaks, won 13-17. Warren traveled to Shullsburg the next Friday. Having won two and lost two, the team was looking for number three. The Warriors fought hard, even though they fumbled several times, to a 6-6 tie. Our next game was with Stockton again. Warren made two quick touchdowns in the first quarter. Stockton dime right tack with two in the second quarter. Warren’s luck went against them in the Lurtih quarter, and Stockton won 20-14. Warren’s last game was a heart-breaker to lose to Mt. Carroll 13-12. Bob Cook made Warren’s touchdowns. The Methodist Church invited all the football boys to supper on November 7th. All the boys had a good time, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the recognition. March 22nd is our banquet date, with Ray Eliot, Illinois football coach, as speaker. Bob Hodgson, our left tackle, was voted by the coaches on the all- conference team: Jerry Pax, Dick Gray, and Fred Dubach on the second team. Bob Cook and Dick Mau received honorable mention. Fred Dubach was voted most valuable player. Jerry Pax had the most tackles. Bob Thomas was elected captain for next year.

Two of the outstanding games were with Stockton and Hhnover. Warren, hitting well on their shots, won from Stockton 72-56. In the Hanover game the Warriors were sixteen point behind at the half, but came back to tie the score at the end of the game. The Warriors pulled it out- in the overtime 75- 73. Our other two wins were with non-conference South Wayne. Bob Cook was our leading scorer. Bob Logemann had the best percentage on his free throws. Our inability to make free throws was a weakness. In the conference Warren was tied with Stockton for last place. The Freshman-Sophomore squad finished with a 3-14 record.
