Warren High School - Echoes Yearbook (Warren, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1961 volume:

The Senior Class of Warren High School Warren, Illinois Presents Echoes ’61 Doors There are a great many doors in Warren High School. On an average day they go completely unnoticed by most students. Nevertheless, they play an important part in each boy and girl's school day. We go through one to read MacBeth, through an- other to study photosynthesis, through a third to increase our typing rate, and through a fourth to leam of binomials, vari- ables and unknowns. Behind one door we cheer our teams, pre- sent our plays, and, on occasions, crown our royalty and dance to Some Enchanted Evening, On Wisconsin, or Lullaby of Broadway. Behind another we watch film strips, hold meetings, and listen to traveling lectures. Of course there's a door to come in at 8:30 and one to go out at 3:45. Each of us had to open these doors for the first time, and someday we'll be closing them for the last. The staff of Echoes 61 hopes that the doors in this book will remind you of some of the work, some of the play, and some of the very special moments you had behind these Doors at Warren High. Our Indispensable Experts Dependable: That's everyone's word for our secretary, Mrs. Mar- garet Sargent. Margaret has an answer for every question, a solution for every problem, and a smile for punctuation. She keeps track of all supplies, does the bookkeeping for the district, is in charge of the entire book rental system, brings us our mail, and will always stop whatever she's doing to help us type a mas- tercopy, run the mimeograph, use the paper-cutter, or make a stencil. In short, Margaret is truly a secretary's secretary. Along with all the jobs regularly assigned to jani- tors, Joe Stagner and Leonard Hodgson are always on hand for a host of others. Such things as mak- ing steps for the Stork Club and making signs for the school election are all in a days work for Joe and Lennie. Certainly they are well worthy of the high esteem in which they are held by both students and faculty. like the custodians, the responsibilities of our bus drivers go far beyond those of their daily routes. Without them, cheering sections at games would be practically impossible; band participation in parades and contests would cease to exist; and GAA bowling could never have become a reality. Because of the men and women, students in Warren High School are assured safe transportation any place, any time of the year. 6 Striving for a Better School Of all the people in Community Unit District Number 205, perhaps the students of Warren High School owt their greatest debt to these seven men. At least once, often several times, a month, this governing body meets with the maintenance of our school system and its success as an institute of education foremost in mind. This year, for example, they were responsible for the erection of new fire escapes in Warren and Nora, for the purchase of new playground equipment, and for a school parking area. In order to comply with the demands of our ever expanding enrollment, the board is attempting to buy one or two lots adjoin- ing the school property and also to install a hot lunch program for the noon students. To each member, who gives so much of his time and consideration to the betterment of Warren High School, goes a sincere '•Thank-you. Superintendent, principal, teacher and advisor, Mr. Albert J. Tucker commands the respect of both teachers and students in all four positions. Under his leadership, a competent faculty provides students at Warren with the best available education. Mr. Tucker's own chemistry class is an ideal example of his high teaching standards, for though it is one of our most difficult courses, it is also one of our most awarding. As class advisor, Mr. Tucker helped seniors plan their play, trip, and finally graduation. His guidance has been responsible for much of the increasing excellence of our school system. 7 Raymond Lipovac Asst. Principal Dept: math and science Loren Ingram Dept: history, math and science James McKeon Dept: industrial arts and science The men and women on these pages, though their exact contributions vary, are alike in that they have each furnished the students of Warren High School with an invaluable gift--a foundation for the future. With some, this gift has been one of appreciation, perhaps of music, history, or litera- ture. With others it is a knowledge of crafts, an ability to earn a living or to run a home. We have been offered an understanding of science and a comprehension of figures. We have been shown the way to fitness of both mind and body. We have never been forced, only attracted, and the bene- fits of our teachers are always available. David Coss Dept: English 8 Marvin Wolber Dept: commercial Teacher Child, though I tell you in this sunlit cove This cup of captive sea is ever blue, For you it may be equally as true That it is emerald, nacre, taupe, or mauve. Youth, though I tell you that our days are scrolled In hues allied to charcoal, chalk, or steel, For you it may be truly quite as real To name them carmine, coral, or yet gold. Melva Geach Dept: music James Zeitlow Dept: vocational agriculture Experience and age have tossed a bone: The right to paint life as it seems to me, And you may heed the colors that I see, But never let them blind you to your own. --ETHEL BARNETT DE VITO Doris Balbach Dept: home economics Henrietta Bourquin Dept: physical education Frank Willever Dept: physical education and coaching Kenneth Scott Dept: history and coaching 9 • • Ronald Thomas Dean Winstead Jeff Zeigle Spirit with Homecoming Float 12 Synonymous Seniors Lynn McFadden Judith Atz Battles Wind Joseph Hasken Patrick Coleman Roger Kent Janice Cline Kenneth Graves Nancy Jenkins Patricia Burri All Eyes on Donna Geach Seniors % David Smith Gerald Seffrood GRADUATION Measure Up Larry Heindel 15 Gary Auman Ruth Wilson Joyce Westaby The Curtain on Successful Carol Meier LIFE Ronald Zink David Gates Rose and Fell Three Gerald DeMuth Gary Schuller Jon Peters 17 We Turned into Isle Merle Shere Gordon Grindey Roland Korte Diane Schreck Deanna Thruman Barbara Sheffer Grand Moment Manhatten an of Joy” Evelyn Evans William Hughes Alice Leibert Grand March Barbara Whitman Dennis Sigafus Gordon Hale Busy Officers Led a Busy Class 20 Basketball T ribute Jo Daviess County Champs 22 m ■ ■ i Bill Doubler Vicki Lange James Breed President John Sullivan tr Nick Pansing Vice President Linda Boelk Vincent Holland Secretary T reasurer Ronald Hawes Terry Leverton Junior Yearbook Editor Juniors — A New Position The juniors, now upperclassmen, used their last chances to make money (as seniors they will be too busy spending it) wisely. They got off to an early start by sponsoring a Back-to- School dance. Magazine sales topped a goal of $1800, and were closely followed by a bake sale. The juniors sold enough crazy book covers to take care of most of the texts in high school and also ran two basketball game refreshment stands. The junior play was both a money-making project for the class and a thrilling experience for all who participated. Best of all was the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, a memorable evening for the juniors and their advisor, Mr. Scott, all of whom worked so long and hard to make it a success. 24 m 13 ;• J Roger Kuhlman Janeen Kruger J eff ry Williams John Darnill Cheryl Korte Karl Busch Dale Dascher Marilyn Thompson Anita Leibert f IV Linda Bonjour David Fernstaedt Kenneth Hurst Glenda Broege Judy Brown Larry Bower Robert Curran Thomas Hay Carol Seffrood ABSENT: Carolyn Dalton David Siegel Joseph Dorneden Edward Schwoob 25 Sophomores — A New Outlook Having completed their first year in Warren High School, the sophomores began their second year with a new awareness of what lay ahead for them. They recognized their goals and, with the help of their advisor, Mr. Zietlow, put forth considerable effort to fulfill them. November found the class busy selling candy, and a month later they sponsored a Sock-Hop. Of course, the sophomores had their share of basketball games and worked hard to make the Han- over and Orangeville refreshment stands the most profitable of the season.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Bourquin, this was certainly true. The class began by selling refreshments at two basketball games, and by mid-year was already planning a Freshman Frolic for spring. Highlight of freshman activities was their after-basketball-game dance. This activity usually nets around twenty dollars, but through the efforts of this energetic class, the profit jumped to forty. Freshmen added their names to the roll-call of every school organi- zation, and many of the boys saw action in football, track, baseball and basketball. The change from grade school to high school is a big one, c Denms Balbach but this year's freshmen adjusted to it easily and are now SecretarY’T reasurer looking forward to their year as sophomores.

Probably the most obvious function of this group comes in the field of sports where it is responsible for all home- coming activities, organization of the parade, decoration of the field and gym, selection of the orchestra, and election and crowning of the queen; for con- cessions at basketball and football games, for noon recreation in the gym; and for an all-school picnic at the end of the year. This year banners were purchased from all opposing basketball teams, and will be hung in the gym next spring. Though they would seem to involve the most work, sports and social affairs are not the primary concern of the Student Council. Recently, for example, they organized a school newspaper. Our Stu- dent Council is a member of the Sub- District Stephenson Conference Student Councils, and this year joined, and sent representatives to the Chicago conven- tion of the NE-NW District of Illinois Student Council. Most important is their aim to promote increasingly better relations among the classes and between the student body and the faculty. 32 National Honor Society: New Organization at Warren This year the faculty of Warren High School established a new organization, the Warren Community Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools. In so doing, they hope to create an enthusiasm for scho- larship, to stimulate a desire to render ser- vice, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students of Warren High School. Charter members in the club number nine, six ac- tive and three probationary (probationary members, if they maintain high standards, may become active members in the second semester of their junior year.) Members must maintain a scholarship average of 3.2, and are further judged on Service, Leader- ship, and Character. They must be nomi- nated by at least two faculty members, and be voted acceptable at a two-thirds ma- jority of the faculty council. National Honor Society standards must be continually met by Society members, since membership may be terminated, and once lost, can never be regained. For these reasons, and because membership is limited to fifteen per cent of the junior and senior class com- bined enrollment, election to the National Honor Society is a distinguished achieve- ment, and Warren High School may be proud of its qualifying students. 33 Young Club Gains Momentum President, John Sullivan; Vice-President, Ken Williams, Secretary, Sue Sincox; Treasurer, George Roundtree; Tail-Twister, Ken Graves. THE WARREN HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA CLUB, now but a year old, is fast becoming one of the school's most ac- tive organizations. Already responsible for much of the staging, costumes, makeup, and promotion of three class plays, the club looks forward to working with the juniors on their play this spring. Though the club operates mainly on a non-profit basis, plans to enrich the treasury by giving one-act plays to various local organizations are in the making, and one play, A Game of Chess has already been staged. A second project, promotion of such groups as the Platteville Mixed Touring Choir, should prove both profitable to the club and enjoyable to the public. Besides working on class plays, this year members will present several performances themselves. Re- hearsals are now being held for A Christmas Carol to be given in mid-December. The club is also anticipating the production of The Taming of the Shrew with an all-school cast in February and is also looking forward to joining with the chorus in presenting a musical. Learning to act and express oneself on stage is only part of being a member of the Drama Club, which also aims to provide each student with a background in drama as a force in literature. This is being accom- plished under the able guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Loren Ingram, who or- ganized trips to Platteville, Madison, and Dubuque to see such plays as South Pacific, Richard III, A Class Menagerie, 12 Angry Men, Bell, Book, and Candle, and Kiss Me Kate.

THE FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA is a local, county, state, and national organization designed to stimulate an interest in teaching. It aims to identify and study the qualities, traits, and aptitude which are basic or re- lated to successful teaching and to provide information on vocational opportunities in education. The Warren chapter is affiliated on all four levels and is very proud of its three county officers, Ron Thomas, President; Nancy McFadden, Vice-President; and Mary Thompson, Song Leader. This year, Warren played host to the fall meeting of the county organization. A delicious meal was prepared and served by the F.H.A. Mother Committee. Entertainment for the evening included slides and an accompanying talk on a year in England as a Fulbright teacher by Miss Edith Groom. An important part of each month's F.T.A. meeting is a report or panel discussion, supervised by sponsor, Mrs. Doris Balbach, on college preparatory classes, entrance requirements, available scholarships and work, or life on various college campuses. Chief money-making project is the clubs annual dance. 35 F. H. A. Officers F. H. A.

Active on four levels, local, sectional, state, and national, the Warren F.H.A. began their year by electing Mrs. Leroy Geach Chapter Mother. Chapter Grandmother is now Mrs. Wilbur Bonjour. The section rally at Stockton, a prize winning Homecoming float, and contributions to UNICEF and UNESCO, plus tra- ditions, such as F.H.A. week, initiation of new members, and, of course, the Mother and Daughter Banquet made it a busy, but very worthwhile, year for both members and officers. Monthly meetings of particular interest included a Christmas party, a report on State F.H.A. Camp by Donna Geach, a panel dis- cussion on two problems, and an account of her trip to Europe by Section Mother, Mrs. Sam Kloeping. The F.H.A.'s bi-weekly barbecue sale is both a money-making project for the club and a welcome variety in noon lunches for those who eat at school. Serving the dinner for the county F.T.A. meeting and passing a gypsy basket also add to the F.H.A. treasury. Much of the success of the F.H.A. can be credited to its sponsor, Mrs. Balbach, whose time and effort, make the or- ganization, which has nearly one hundred per- cent membership, one of the most popular in school. 36 F.

The primary aim of the F.F.A. is the development of agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship. The creed of the organization consists of five para- graphs which can be summarized into the first seven words of the creed: I believe in the fu- ture of farming. The motto consists of only four lines, but these lines are filled with a practical philosophy, which reflects the spirit and sincerity that shows the true feeling of to- day's farm youth. The motto is: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Learning to live, Living to serve. The Warren F.F.A., in affiliation with the state and national associations has completed its tenth year in Warren High School, now stand- ing thirty-three members strong. Under the leadership of Mr. James Zietlow, chapter advi- sor, the Warren chapter began the year by taking part in the Section F.F.A. Fair at Freeport, Illinois. The chapter returned home triumphant. Their Chapter Sweetheart, Nancy McFadden, was chosen a member of the court of the Section I Sweetheart; and they were still holding, for the third year, the Kenneth Koertmer Memorial Trophy for the neatest swine display. The boys also received their share of the premiums. As school opened the chapter executive committee planned and redesigned their Program ofWork, an outline of the year's activities. This year the chain gilt committee selected Ron Leitzen to re- ceive the purebred Hampshire sow. The chain gilt program is designed to help a Freshman Future Farmer get started in quality purebred swine. A second important service of the chap- ter is that of handing out milk to the noon stu- dents. The profits from this activity go into a fund for the school cafeteria. At this time the chapter is busy selling Christmas cards and calendar ads. Other fund raising activities planned are those of scrap drives and card par- ties. During the Thanksgiving vacation, mem- bers and Mr. Zietlow journeyed to Chicago to see the International Livestock Exposition and other points of interest. For recreation the chapter has organized a F.F.A. basketball team to play the teams of other area chapters. The F.F.A. has also sponsored a F .F .A. --F .H .A. activity. A year ofhard work, but many pleas- ures, will be highlighted by the annual Parent- Son Banquet. 37 G. A. A. Girls Bowl in Tournament Stimulating interest and participation in girls' athletic activities, and promoting physical fitness, sportsmanship and cooperation, the Warren chapter of the Girls' Athletic Association meets twice a week for forty minute play periods. Members enjoy a variety of sports and play hard to earn each year's necessary twenty five points. Suc- cess is rewarded first with orange numerals, second with an orange W , third with a blue and white I and fourth with a blue outline of the state of Illinois. A new and extremely popular project in the G.A.A. this year was weekly bowling at Lena. After eight consecutive weeks, scores had really improved, and our five best bowlers will return in the spring for a tournament with top bowlers from area organizations. The G.A.A. again sponsored their always successful Sadie Hawkins dance, a girl asks boy affair, which provided a large crowd to be reigned over by this year's Daisy Mae, Mary Thompson, and Little Abner, W Club member, Dave Gates. Members attended play-day at Lena, the first of two annual get-togethers of area clubs. The second play-day will be held in Warren this spring, so members and their sponsor, Mrs. Bour- quin, are already planning a funfilled day. As usual, two delegates will be sent to G.A.A. Camp at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where they will be expected to gain ideas on projects and play to make their organization better than it already is. 38 President, Terry Leverton; Vice-President, John Sullivan; Secretary, Dave Gates; Treasurer, Ron Hawes. We Like Our Teams Created to honor Warren's athletics and to promote school spirit, the W CLUB has been more than successful. The club sponsor, Mr. Scott, leads not only our letter winners and managers, but the honorary members--numeral winners who have been voted in--and the favorite members--the cheerleaders. The year's activities began with the Homecoming parade in which the club entered a car decorated by the cheerleaders in, of course, orange and black and W's. With the coming of the basketball season, W Club members were on the ball in more ways than one as they sponsored the first after-game dance. Shortly after the dance, they brought to Warren the Texas Cowgirls, a professional basketball team and pitted them against the local alumni. The girls, who had just re- turned from a tour of Europe sponsored by the State Department, put on a thrilling game. Climaxing the years activities will be the traditional W Club picnic. A letterman is more than an outstanding athlete. He is a constant source of school spirit, pride and entertainment, and the student body is justifiably proud of the number of its members who can be seen in their familiar black letter jackets and orange letters. The letter is decorated with emblems from any of four sports, baseball, football, basketball, and track, plus bars showing the number of letters won in each sport. Also included on the jacket are class numerals, members' nickname, and Warriors, a fitting title for our fighting athletes. 39 Library Grows Under Able Staff President, Lois DeMuth Vice-Pres., Saandra Nelson Secretary-Treasurer Marcet Wear Without a doubt, the hardest working or- ganization in Warren High School is the Li- brary Staff, for the activities of this club are not confined to meeting days or scattered as money-making projects throughout the year. They are the day-to-day upkeep and betterment of our ever- growing library, and they involve a great deal more work than the average student realizes. Not only must there be li- brarians on hand to fulfill the needs of every student every hour of the day; there must be girls to keep the reference files in order, girls to keep the magazine racks up to date and girls to mend worn books. Our library is always neat, our bulletin board always covered with new book reviews, best-seller covers and items of interest, and the latest col- lege bulletins and guidance books are always available. In the last four years, our library has improved one hundred percent and has saved us many of the once necessary trips to the public library. For this we owe a vote of thanks to Mrs. Olson and her staff. 40 Sweetheart Hop Becomes Tradition THE WARREN FUTURE CRAFTS CLUB combines its extra-curricular activities with those of the academic school year since active members have a definite interest in industrial arts and often spend a year or more studying that subject in one of Mr. McKeon's classes. The club seeks to foster high ideals and appreciation in the dignity of work along with a wholesome understanding of the functions of both labor and capital and a recognition of their mutual inter-dependence. Foremost on the list of the WFC's projects are monthly bowling or roller-skating and the club's annual picnic. A relatively new addition to the clubs' activities is the Sweetheart Hop, where the WFC Sweetheart is crowned. Loma Beall was the first Sweetheart to be given this honor. President, Roger Kuhlman Vice-Pres., Ron Hawes Secretary-Treasurer, Steve Altenbem. 41 One of the most important goals for Mrs. Geach's band is contest in the spring. This year there will be some big changes in that event. Number 1: Contest will be on a state level only. In previous years, bands have been judged first at district and then, if a superior rating was received, advanced to state. Number 2: Warren will be classified as a B band. Class is determined by school enrollment, and because of this year's larger student body, Warren has outgrown its class C requirements. Our final year in class C , two-level contest ended on a really high note in Rockford last March when we received our first superior rating in several years. This momentous event was accompanied by an opportunity to attend state contest at Macomb where we were awarded an excellent rating. Spirits have been high ever since, and each band member will be trying hard for a repeat performance this year at Bradley. Band Takes First at Contest Solo-ensemble contest, still on a two-level system, promotes individual and small group excellence. The red and blue medals received when this goal is attained are the coveted rewards of many Warren musicians. Besides contest, the concert band also takes part in county festival, pro- vides a pep band, student directed by Nancy Jenkins and Donna Geach, for basketball games, and this year presented its first public Christmas concert, a festive and very successful occasion. On the march, the band is a constant source of community pride. District 205 is well represented by its band throughout the area and well satisfied with it at home. March Music Contestants Vie for Rating % 43 45 Warren Captures Fourth in Conference After losing their conference opener, the Warriors came back to tromp Le-Win, 26-0 for a Homecoming victory. They were defeated only twice during the remainder of the season to finish with a 4-3 record, a fourth place rank in the conference, and a standing among the area Top Ten. Highlights of the season came in the Pearl City game where the Warriors racked up 60 points, and in the last game of the year when they stubbornly fought back two Orangeville leads to win 19-13. Nine senior lettermen (right) plus junior letterwinners, Bal- bach, Breed, Doubler, Foley, Hawes, Holland, Leverton, and Sullivan and sophomore W Club member, Schultz, gave the team its speed and power. Co-captains for the year were Ron Thomas and Ken Williams. Ken also received the most tackles award, while George Rountree was voted most valuable player. A fitting tribute to a fighting team came when four players gained positions on All-Conference teams. George Rountree was named first string offensive half-back and also received special mention as defensive half-back with Bill Doubler, defensive lineback. Bill was given honorable mention as offensive fullback, as were John Sullivan, offensive end, and Ken Williams, offensive center. 46 Joe Hasken George Rountree TEAM WE THEY Milledgeville 12 19 Stockton 0 20 Le -Win 26 13 Galena 6 26 Aquin 7 38 Pearl City 60 7 Durand 13 0 Orangeville 19 13 Dean Winstead Ken Williams Larry Heindel Jeff Zeigle Season’s Scoreboard Warren Takes First in Tournament Coached by Mr. Frank Willever, this year's Warriors fought their way to a highly successful season. The team, one of the most colorful to play for Warren High School, drew large crowds not only on the home floor, but at area games. Highlights of the season were Warren's subsequent defeats of Elizabeth, East Dubuque, and Hanover, for the Jo Daviess County championship, their mid-season victory over high-rated Aquin, and their four wins over Hanover, the last of which gave them a chance to advance in the Regional Tournament. Dave Gates was voted captain and most valuable player. With six graduating lettermen, Coach Ken Scott's ability of building an experienced B squad will be valuable next year. Emphasizing speed and rebounding, the frosh-soph team developed into a first- rate group of competitors, all of the first five capable of holding scoring honors for at least one game. 48 OPPONENT WE THEY I East Dubuque . . .

Included on the team will be W Club members Smith, Hawes, Kuhleman, DeMuth, Hicks, Hasken, Coleman, and Williams plus Dave Gates, voted last year's most valuable player by his team-mates: Terry Leverton, voted co-captain with Duane Larson which was lost to graduation; and George Rountree, whose batting average of 473 was high for 1960. Warren began their season handicapped by ineligibility, but was soon able to balance the team, and, after losing their first three games, rallied to win four of the remaining five. They finished with a respectable 4-4 record. Highlight of the year was a no-run, no-hit game pitched by Duane Larson against Gratiot. Warren Places High in Coference Track Meet Unquestionable highlight of last year's track season was the impressive showing made by Warren's lettermen, Bill Doubler and George Rountree, in the Stephenson Conference Track Meet. Rountree, who had been active during the year in the 100, the 220, the 440, and the shot put, entered the meet in the 220, and in the 440 where he took second and third, respectively. Doubler, also a shot putter, took second in the 100 and won the 220 in 24.5 sec- onds. During the preliminaries, Bill set a new conference record for the 100 at 10.6. Both boys went on to enter the district meet at Rockford. Other members of the track squad were Duane Schultz and Francis Grindey, who ran the meet; Russell Milium, Warren Peska, and Craig Gundry, who ran the half-mile; and Ron Kaiser, who ran the 440. 50 The Spirit Behind the Sports New School Song WARREN HIGH, WARREN HIGH It's our school, It's for you, ‘cause it's great, thru and thru. WARREN HIGH, WARREN HIGH With the best of the old, and the first of the new. ORANGE AND BLACK, colors true, As true as America's best, For we know the way, And we're proud we can say, WARREN HIGH leads the rest. This, our new school song, topped a year of changes in Warren's cheerleaders. The girls displayed a dif- ferent look from the very beginning when they re- duced the size of the squad to three and limited varsity football and basketball to juniors and seniors and junior varsity basketball to freshmen and sopho- mores. Throughout the year, every few pep meet- ings, brought a new cheer, Hi-de-hi, Right Behind The Warriors and the war chant, to name a few. Often, the cheerleaders combined with the pep band for an extra boost in school spirit. Beside inspiring victories, the cheerleaders decorated a W Club float for Homecoming, made programs for every game, and organized bus rides for the cheering section. They are well worthy of their honorary position in the W Club. 51 Cast Painter Peasant woman . . . . Judy Atz Waiter Little Man Prospector Baron Therese Street Singer . . . Flower Girl ....

Anne Conyne Juniors Take Over The Senior class had their first taste of high quality drama last year when they produced Jean Giraudoux's The Madwomen of Challot. Mr. Ingram and his cast of thousands began work on the play in early spring in order to be ready for their April 7th and 8th curtain. The Madwomen presents a subtle contrast between two types of madness. The first, that of people who see things which are not there (pet dogs, lost lovers, etc.) is portrayed by the four madwomen. The second, that of people who don't manage to see things which ARE there, is readily evident in the money mad financiers, so ob- sessed with personal wealth that they fail to see the beauty, love and sentiment in the world. Giraudoux hints that the latter type is more prevalent in todav's 54 Cast Doorman............ Roger Kent Policeman.......... Bill Hughes Pierre.............

It is this problem that Countess Aurelia and her friends set out to solve. They work out a most effective solution--simply destroy anyone subject to the second form of insincerity. The plan is not as vicious as it seems, however, since everyone is given a fair trial before conviction. Even though few are able to prove their innocence, and all those guilty of worshipping money descend into the Countess's oil well. This done, humanity is saved, for now the world consists only of people who have and understand life as it should be, people for whom it is never, Too late! Too late! Too late!

The Apollo of Bellac was the first of two one-acts presented by the Senior Class this year. The play tells of a shy girl who comes to the Office looking for a job. She is ignored, until a nondescript little man from the town of Bellac comes to her aid. He demonstrates that she can have her way with any man if she will, upon meet- ing him, declare that he is handsome and compare him to the statue of the Apollo of Bellac (non-existent). This she does, beginning hesitantly with the clerk and working up most successfully to the chairman of the board. Moral: The best career for a female is to be a woman. 56 John Millington Synge s Riders to the Sea, the first tragedy Cast presented by a class at Warren High School in many years, takes place in a cottage on an island off the west coast of Ireland.

The story centers around Maurya, an old and tired peasant Nora................Donna Geach woman, whose life has been made almost unendurable by the loss Men................. Bill Hughes of her husband, her father-in-law, and her four sons to the sea. George Roundtree As the play opens a fifth son, Michael, is thought to be drowned Jeff Zeigle also. This soon becomes evident, leaving only Bartley of a once Women...............Carole Meiers strong family. Maurya's two daughters can do little to help her Joyce Westaby when her attempt to keep Bartley at home fails. After he, too, Phyliss Doubler is lost at sea, she can only say, No man at all can be living for- Marilyn Newman ever, and we must be satisfied. Ruth Ann Wilson 57 East Side, West Side Central Park, Broadway, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and the Stork Club; where five short days, many hours of work, and a few arguments ago there had been only a gym, on May 14, there was New York City in all its splendor. Following a delicious banquet, prepared by the junior mothers and served by sophomore waiters, the class of '61 presented to the class of '60 their prom, The Ageless Sidewalks of New York. Outgoing queen, Janice McKee, released her crown to incoming queen, Nancy McFadden, and senior king, Ron Dittwiler, turned over his scepter to junior king, Ken Williams. The newly crowned royal couple reigned over an evening of danc- ing to the music of Gus Furhman and his orchestra. We Toast Class of f60” 58 59 Homecoming W arren Triumps by 26-13 Count Immediately after kicking off, the Warriors received an important break in the form of a recovered fumble on the Lena 10 yard line. Rountree scored on the first series of downs, the conversion attempt failed, and Warren led 6-0. Early in the second quarter, after a sustained passing attack, Lena scored and converted giving them a lead of 7-6. War- ren powered back up field with a vicious ground assult, and Balbach carried over from the 10. Rountree converted off- tackle, and the Warriors regained the lead at 13-7. Warren received the kickoff to open the third period. On the sec- ond play Rountree broke loose for a brilliant 60 yard run. Doubler drove through the line for the conversion, increas- ing Warrens lead to 20-7. Lena revived their passing attack which again paid off in a touchdown. The attempted pass for the point was unsuccessful, so the Warrior lead was trimmed by only six points. (Score 20-13). Near the end of the final period, Warren's tough ground game brought them into Le-Win territory, and Rountree scored on a re- verse from the 25. Warren thus continued their fine tradi- tion of Homecoming victory. Get that ball! 60 Queen Vicki and King Ron Reign Over Victory Dance A winning game and a big parade practically guarantee a successful homecoming dance, and this year Warren can boast of both. The one o'clock parade consisted of over forty entries, plus six bands. Prizes were awarded to the best school float, best out of school float and best bicycle. Following the parade, came the game with Lena-Wins- low, a 26-13 victory, and Warren's first win of the season. The day's activities ended with the traditional dance. The Student Council, in charge of the Homecoming festivities, was also responsible for the gaily decorated gymnasium, while Al Raymond provided the music. Climax to a memorable day came with the crowning of this year's king and queen, Ron Thomas and Vicki Long. The Royal Court, pre- sented by Dean Winstead, consisted of Wilma Beall, Linda Boelk, Diane Russell, and Anne Conyne and Larry Heindei, George Rountree, Jeff Zeigle, and Ken Williams. 61 Senior Activity Page Class Motto: We took the road least traveled and that has made the difference.
