Momence won 12-0. They scored both TD's in the last few minutes of the final quarter. The next game, with Milford, the Warriors won easily, not only scoring on their second play but adding 3 more TD's to insure their lead. As the game ended, the Warriors were out in front 26-0. Rantoul dropped the Warriors in their next grid battle. Rantoul tallied 20 points in the first half as they rolled on to win. However, the second half was a different story as our fighting team out-played the visiting team in all departments. The final' score was 27-12 in Rantoul's favor. Gilman tasted defeat at the hands of the Warriors. Both teams were fighting hard but only Watseka could punch across a TD that counted, Gi-lman scored their 2 points as they caught the Warriors behind their own goal for a safety. Gilman could not score a TD to beat the Warriors as they won 7-2. Paxton was the next game on the schedule. The Mustangs drove across the only score of the game as they won the battle 6-0. The Warriors were in their own territory and managed to stave off any further scoring drives by the visiting team. Both teams showed much determination as they fought to win. Onarga Military School showed enough power in the grid battle with the Warriors to win the encounter 13-6. There were no scores until the last quarter as O.M.S. scored the first TD. Right away the Warriors with a TD iust scored evened up the score. However, O.M.S. came back and scored another TD and added the extra point to win by a score of 13-6. The Warriors traveled to Gibson City minus two of their key players, Bill McGill and Dick Fransisco. The Warriors, in spite of their losses, fought hard and had shown some good defensive play. The Warriors offense picked up yardage too. However, they could not score any TD's. Gibson City scored 34 points to make a grid score of 34-0. Hoopeston was our last and final game for the seniors. It was a hard fought football game. Hoopeston scored first but the Warriors were not to be out-done and evened the score up with a TD after a drive up the field from their own 27 yard-line. Once again the visitors tallied and once again the Warriors scored. The game was tied up 13-13. With 3 minutes left to play the Corn- ierkers scored twice to make a score of 27-13 in favor of the Cornierkers. 1951 Football Schedule We They We They Momence 0 12 Paxton 0 6 Milford 26 0 O.M.S. 6 13 Gilman 7 2 Gibson City 0 34 R antoul 12 27 Hoope ston 13 27 43 Bill Rauano . .W - ...W --w-,W-1,-.s-..-.,...-7... ,W .. . . ..,w,,,,.. -H -www. ,,,....f, .TW fs, . .- Football Members Mickey McAnarney Tockl e---6'2 --- 185 lbs.

After their first loss the Warriors retaliated to win over their next foe and rival, Hoopeston, by a score of 35-33. The Wat- l sekans took a half-time lead of 24-8 but the Cornierkers exploded and reduced the lead to 35-33 as the Warriors held on to their Q' game by controlling the ball the last few minutes of the game. txt, The Warriors were handicapped by the loss of one of their first string men, Dale Davis, who was out with a broken arm. But the Warriors held their conference lead by downing the 7 Paxton Mustangs by a score of 51-35. At the half the Warriors - were out in front 28-21. Doug 'Shonts hit 13 points for the . Warriors, with Koonce and McAnarney following his example Ll' with 12 tallies each. The Warriors lost their first Wauseca conference game to a highly rated Gibson City team. The Warriors were trailing 20-16 at the half and when the battle was over the Warriors had been scalped 49-32. The Warriors then traveled to O.M.S. the following night only to lose the game 42-34, and sink lower in the conference race. A new and younger Warrior team faced the Sheldon Rams as they had lost several of the veterans. However that didn't stop the Warriors as they beat a very cold Ram team. The Warriors won the game 33-21, with Sam Foster showing his ability as one of the new starters for the night. A cripples Warrior team held a vaunted Gilman five to their lowest total of the season. Gil- man had averaged 60 points a game but the Warriors held on to the game by holding it to a 25-21 scare at the half. The Owls surged over and took the game 49-31. Sheldon defeated the Warriors in their first game after the Christmas vacation. Warrior shoot- ing was off as they hit only 7 out of 50 attempts. McAnarney fouled out early in the third frame. Carl Stone was high point man forthe Warriors with 10 tallies. Rantoul next came to the Warrior court to display their ability by fast-breaking the Warriors to a 56-40 final margin. The Warriors displayed the traditional fighting spirit but couldn't match the fighting Eagles. The half-time score was Rantoul out in front 33-14. McAnarney totaled 17 points for the evenings high score. Hoopeston moved into the Watseka gym to get revenge against the home quintet. The firecely fought battle ended in a 48-43 victory for the Cornierkers. Onarga Military's Yellow-Jackets forged a 55-45 victory over the revamped Warrior team. A bevy of early personal fouls gave the Yellow-Jackets an early lead. Koonce, Walker and McAnarney fouled out, leaving Shonts to lead the Warriors with 15 points, and Stone garnering 13 tallies. Ron Claussen of O.M.S. sunk 26 points, nearly equaling the individual scoring record of their team. A rampaging cage squad from Cissna Park invaded the Warrior court to soar to a 64-33 victory over the Warriors. The score was 28-19 at the half. Donovan beat out the Warriors in our first game of the county tournament by a score of 39-35. The Warriors trip Paxton's Mustangs 55-51. The credit goes to Ronnie Parkinson who stole the ball and scored which ultimately gave the Warriors the lead and the game. McAnarney finally found himself and scored 26 points for the evening. The Warriors had an easy game with Milford. They won it 58-27. Shonts hit 12 points. Note: The Watchekee went to press with the Warriors having five regular scheduled games remaining, and a regional tournament at Hoopeston to battle through.

They were downed in their opening tilt but they then came back with twelve triumphs in a row. They also emerged the champions of the Wauseca Summer Baseball League with eight straight triumphs without a defeat. The Warrior nine opened their season on May 18 by traveling to Donovan to lose in a pitcher's duel 2-l between Lefty Sears and Donovan's Roger Lareau. Three days later after the Warriors opening game defeat, Donovan moved to the Warriors happy hunting grounds. The Watseka bats came to life for a 6 to 5 triumph. Watseka moved to Milford on May 25 to avenge a defeat suffered one year previous. When a Warrior batsman popped the ball into the air with two out in the last inning and Watseka on the short end of a 6 to 4 score, it looked as if Milford would win again. The Milford infielder dropped the ball and before the final out could be posted against the Warriors, they had tallied seven times. Watseka had turned a 6 to 4 defeat into a ll to 6 victory. Gilman played host to Watseka on June 4 but the Watsekans did not treat their hosts very well as they tipped the Owls in a closely contested game 8 to 6. The Warriors were now ready to go into battle for the Championship of the Wauseca Summer Baseball League. They were out to dethrone last years undefeated winners, the Hoopeston Corn- ierkers. Watseka and all of the league was to run into bad weather in their schedule and were therefore compelled to play rescheduled games. Watseka's first step in dethroning the Cornierkers was on June I4 when they husked the Jerkers on the home diamond by a I5 to 4 count in an abbreviated contest. Watseka played host to Gilman in an out-of-the-league encounter on July 25. Bill Bingham, Warrior short-fielder, slid across the plate from third in the inning with the winning run as a Warriors 'batsman whiffed and had to be thrown out as the Owl Catcher dropped the ball and therefore had to throw to first to get the batter out. The score was 3 to 2. Paxton's Mustangs were corralled on Warrior hunting grounds on July 2 in another abbreviated contest by a 10 to 2 score. Paul Sears hit a double md a triple while Henry Eilts crossed the plate for three markers. The diamondeers of Watseka traveled south on July 5 to face Hoopeston's no-hit, no-run pitcher, Skip Biedenkopt. Bill Bingham led the Warrior attack against the no-hit pitcher by getting four hits and scoring five runs while the Warriors romped to an easy l7 to 3 win. On July l6, Gibson City visited' Iroquois's County Seat and were sent home with a stinging 9 to l drubbing. Doug Shonts hit a homer and a double for the winners while Lefty Paul Sears threw a one-hitter at the losers. Watseka, on July l8, played on Paxton's newly erected diamond. Doug Shonts held the Mustangs to two hits in a l4 to l win. Henry Eilts, Warrior Centerfielder, walked four times and crossed the plate with four runs. The Warriors traveled to Gibson City on July 20 in which a victory would mean the Champion- ship. Doug Shonts doubled Frank Redman home with the winning tally in an extra inning, 5 to 3 victory which made the Watseka Warriors winners of the league crown. Watseka was now shooting for an undefeated league title as Rantoul moved into town on July 23. The game was close for a few innings but the Watseka boys broke loose with a four runs outburst and scored a 7 to 3 conquest of Rantoul's Eagles. The Warriors closed their season at Rantoul on July 26 by shutting out the Eagles 6 to0 behind the two hit pitching of Doug Shonts. The Watseka Warriors had a season to be proud of, in winning twelve of their thirteen games. The Warriors knocked over their league opponents with ease in marking up 81 runs to the opposi- -tions l6. Watseka lost eight seniors from the championship squad via graduation. They were Frank Redman, Paul Sears, Henry Eilts, Bill Bingham, Gene Eilers, Lynn Flach, Ray Ralph and Le- Roy Henning. The Warriors have a fine bunch of ballplayers left for next season to help keep the league title for Watseka. 56 ,- -xi V -gli-3 CAI- E NPAR MAY 70 'T-he 'Ong owoifed r ' ' 1 , Junicr-Senior Prom seem is dlvu ged at Eggghgiyrclods run in District Track and 2J '5e f0f W'-'fk complefed, 4:00 P,M,. 0'1 You wish you w f I1 25---Baccalaureate ere Q res men 26---Senifrs reogive Iqsf qwq,ds fiom School at award night a 26-27--R rn ' d f d ' - . exams 9 om 9' 0 Sfu ents finished final 28- Commencement-here SUCCGSS 'S 'D your future-lf X r' MARCH APRIL W coun T he' G as wget Contest 5 90' had Ensegxbxe amen' I' fn , i Qrifeseafli 8--Af G.A.A.

STUDENT COUNCIL One day during my visit at W.C.H.S. I heard something that really made me prick up my ears. It was an announcement saying that a Student Council meeting would be held that day. I thought to myself that at last I had found something carried on from my Indian days so with eager feet I dashed off to attend the big council meeting when the proper time came. It seems that I was slightly disillusioned however, because your Student Council was just a little different from my tribe's councils. It seems that the Student Council was formed for the purpose of promoting general activities in the school and to stimulate a spirit of co-operation among the students and the faculty. The members of your Student Council have many responsibilities. They manage the selling of cafeteria tickets, the planning and choosing of school assemblies and many other duties. They also operate a school 'supply store for the convenience of the students. This year's Student Council entered into a new proiect. This was the exchanging of assembly programs with other schools throughout the county. The representatives of the Student Council are chosen by the students themselves. This year's student council representatives were as follows: Seniors, Patricia Unger, Sally Brammer, George Warner and WilmaKaufmann, Juniors, Charles St. Germain, 'Gloria Yates and Betty Koenig, Sophomores, Barry Hynd, Rodney Parkinson and Beverly Paro, Freshman, Carol Harrison, Philip Grice, cnd Charlene Kuhn. The Student Council members elected as their officers, Patricia Unger, President, Charles St. Germain, Vice-president, and Gloria Yates as Secretary. Miss Wilma Harrington serves as chief counselor and advisor of the organization. 62 Left to Right-- Standing---Mr. Orson Craxton, Mr. George Sprau, Jerry Nichols, Earl Garfield, John Weidert, Ralph Davis, Dale Davis, Jack Voigt, Wayne Meyer, George Warner, Charles St. Germain, Mr. Ralph Dodson, Mr. Robert Grant.

N.H. . While looking over the calendar of slated club meetings one day, l discovered that a pow-wow was held the first Monday in each month by the N. H. S. Now l had heard a lot about the N. H. S. but not enough to satisfy my information-consuming curiosity, therefore I made a mental note to attend the meeting. Finally, the hour of the big pow-wow arrived and at last I was seated around the council tables of the N. H. S. N. H. S., l soon learned, stands for National Honor Society. l learned that the National Honor Society is one of the most honorable organizations in the school. One must have a high scholastic average to belong to it but contrary to popular belief the qualification ofa high scholastic record ol one does not make you eligible to be in this society. No, there are four basic qualifications upon which the eligibility of a person is based. They are: character, scholarship, leadership and service. He must also have attended W. C. H. S. for one full year. The members of the N. H. S. are chosen by the faculty and instated after the end of the first semester of each year. The faculty makes its decision after judging the members which must be either iuniors or seniors on the four basic qualifications. Mr. George Sprau acts as an advisor to the orgmization. 63 F. H. A.

Ever since I was iust a little papoose in my tribe I always wondered iust exactly howa squaw learned to do the work of a squaw. I was delighted therefore when I was invited to visit an F. H. A. meeting one day. You see, F. H. A. means Future Homemakers of America and I was sure I would get to see iust exactly how an Indian Maiden learns to keep house. Guess what? I was disillusioned again, for when I got to the meeting I found that the F. H. A. does much more than teach maidens how to keep house. The F. H. A. is one of the largest clubs in the school. lt has a total of 55 people comprising its membership. The club holds its meetings every third Friday of the month. Each year the F. H. A. chooses a theme upon which to build that year's work. This year their theme is Learning to Co-operate By Helping Others. They also adopted a club motto Toward New Horizons. The F. H. A. is planning a trip for its members in May. They are raising the necessary funds for this trip by selling taffy apples at basketball and football games. They also sold Household Guides for this proiect. In addition to its many other activities the club has a party every month. Some ofthe parties planned for this year are: A Little Kid's Party, A Christmas Caroling Party, Initiation Party, A Valentine Dance, and A Mother and Daughter Pot Luck. Miss Wilma Cluver acts as the advisor for the organization, and Mrs. Carl Gerber is the Chapter Mother for the F. H.

F. F. A. FFA! Would you believe that three little letters like that could tickle a little lndian's curiosity bone? Well, believe it or not--they sure added an element of curiosity to this Little lniun Joe . l'm sure l would have died of sheer curiosity about those three letters if l hadn't finally discovered that they stood for Future Farmers of America. ' This discovery only served as an appetizer for me, however, because I then wanted to find out what this organization did. So what did I do? Naturally, l went to the F.F.A. advisor, Mr. George Sprau, and got some information on it. Now iust to satisfy your curiosity l'll tell you about it. One of the main aims of the Future Farmers of America is to help farm boys become estab- lished in farming and to train them to be useful citizens. ln order to help boys achieve this goal the F.F.A. sets up degrees of membership, which aid in measuring a boy's growth towards es- tablishment in farming and in becoming a useful citizen in his community and his country. The F.F.A. also sponsors public-speaking contests and parliamentary procedure contests, which help to train for leadership which is necessary in our democratic way of life. The Watseka F.F.A. Chapter centers its work around the activities of eight standing commit- tees are as follows: Supervised Farming, Community Service, Co-operative Activities, Scholar- ship, Recreation, Earnings and Savings, and Conduct of Meetings. The Watseka Chapter of the F.F.A. has 37 members. It has adopted as its motto this saying: Learning to do, doing to learn, Earning to living, Living to serve. 65 4th Row---Keith Schmidt, Dick Kerchenfaut, Howard Gordon, Lee Mueller. 3rd Row---Nora Starkey, Wilma Kaufmann, Gloria Yates, Carol Mickelson, Martin Hanson, Roy Smith, Darrell Decker, Harold Gerber, Don Becker, Don Morrison, Charles St. Germain, Don Hendress. 2nd Row---Norma Graeber, Patricia Nichols, Linda Hessing, Alice Collins, Patricia Unger, Margaret Fay, Carole Graeber, Carol Roberts, Marlene Garfield, Sharon Wolf, Jane Hess.

BRCADCASTER The Indians of my tribe always used smoke signals, drums or runner boys to keep up with the latest news, but even the news is passed along differently in this school. l'll never forget the day I first discovered the Broadcaster--your school newspaper. School was over for another day and l was anxious to leave its lovely interior when l sudden- ly noticed a big line of people in front ofthe ticket window. Since l'm such a curious soul, l iust had to see what the line led to, so l hopped on at the end and after about fifteen minutes l deposited a nickel and became the proud owner of a Broad- caster. A After delving into its contents, l found that' it is a four-page production of the latest news, sports, and interests in the school. l began to wonder how this paper was produced so, naturally, l asked a fellow student. He explained to me that The Broadcaster has a hard working staff of students who write, type, get the information and everything else necessary for the publishment of such a paper. They then assemble it and send it to press. This staff is quite large. It is made up of news writers, feature writers, sport writers, and typists. The editors of the paper are Feature Editors, Sally Brammer and Barbara Mason. News Editor, Charlotte Owings and Sports Editor, Bill Rozzano. Miss Brayford acts as an advisor and helps to get the Broadcaster off to press every two weeks. 66 I A . F' ' -ci- 5. ., -W ----- -V +fT.---. --VV .-in. .

S., l had an occasion to doisome scouting in the halls. There I was quietly padding along when suddenly I heard the sound of mar1y Worker Bees buzzing. lt.was coming from the room directly in front of me so l decided to investigate. Upon sneaking into the room l discovered that it was not bees l heard buzzing but the Watchekee Staff busily working on plans for this year's annual. By observation I soon learned that they had a right to buzz for they were responsible for the completion of the biggest proiect in the whole school. Whatsmore this proiect had to positively be completed by a certain deadline in March. Miss Wilma Harrington acted as Advisor for the busy Watchekee Staff. The staff itself is composed of many people each'with a specific iob to do. lt is as follows: Editor, Gayle Flesher, Assistant Editor, Ruth Ellen Prevo, Business Manager, Dale Davis, Assistant Business Manager, Bill Razzano, Senior Writer, Esther Prange, Clubs, Sally Brammer, Calendar, Charlotte Owings, Features, Jean Milar, Other Classes, Doris McCullough, Snaps, Patricia Unger, Ralph Davis, Advertising, Howard Gordon, Sam Foster, George Warner, Jack Voigt, Typists, Wilma Kaufmann, Barbara Mason, Beverly Milar, and Artist, Barbara Mason. 67 I i-area.

You see an announcement came over the public address system that all the Thespians planning to attend the Milford dress rehearsal should be ready to leave Watseka at 12:30 prompt. Now here was another Mystery Club for me to find out about. Naturally the longer I sat there the more perplexed my little brain became so finally I decided to ask the teacher in charge if she knew anything about the Thespian Club. Let me tell you I sure am a lucky Little Iniun Joe for who should be the teacher in charge but the sponsor of the club herself, Miss Caryl Strauss. She explained to me that the National Thespian Society is made up of students who have achieved the highest honors in Dramatic Arts that our school can award. WatseIca's Troupe 635 has endeavored to promote the highest standards in dramatics. They have worked to stimulate students and community interest. They have tried to be a stimuli not only for improving dramatics but for furnishing an additional incentive to appreciate further the fine art which is so beautifully portrayed by the theatre. With this in mind Watseka's troupe is making an exhaustive study of modern plays--reading them--making cuttings and delivering the finest speeches in them. That gave me o very good explanation of my mystery club. Since my question box was at last depleted, I thanked her and returned to my seat a heap smart lniun Joe. 68 X 3rd Row---Jim Flesher, Marion Ralph, William Razzano, Sally Brammer, Pat Unger, Marlene Garfield, Jane Hess, Harold Gerber, Barbara Mason, Esther Prange, Joyce Leiding. 2nd Row---Don Hendress, Sam Dooley, Dick Francisco, George Warner, Earl Garfield, Lee Mueller, Sam Williamson, Lloyd Eostburn, Jean Milar, Barbara Ehrhardt, Arlene Gerber.

Floor---Bill Sandilands, John Lehman DRAMATIC CLUB To Be or Not To Be an Actor , that was the question. Don't worry I hadn't overtaxed my thinking resources, l was lust trying to decide whether I should ioin the Dramatic Club or not. I think I might have overtaxed it trying to decide the issue though if I finally hadn't visited one of their meetings and found out exactly what the club was like. Would you like to know what the club is like? Well, here is a condensed version of whatl found out about it. The Dramatic Club has stressed dramatics of all sorts. Their programs have been made up of all types ot drama, ranging from extemperaneous talks to monologues, pantomimes, humorous readings, very dramatic selections, and original skits. There is no doubt that with each year a progress has been shown in all branches of dramatic arts in this high school. This year the club is working on improved diction, posture, stage presence, and good char- acterization in their plays. The sponsor of this busy group is Miss Caryl Strauss. With this much information at hand I quickly decided that I was a stage-struck 'ilniun Joe. 69 ii.,- in --r l f ' JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On the night of November 20, I95I, I, lniun Joe, was invited to attend the iunior class play, Our Miss Brooks. This was advertised as a comedy in three acts and let me tell you the advertising was not wrong. Never in my whole life has my little Indian Funnybone been more tickled than it was on that night as I watched Miss Brooks clamor through one calamity after another as she tried to produce the annual Dramatic Club Play in Madison High School, mid many of the problems and distractions of school life. Miss Caryl Strauss was the director of Our Miss Brooks and Barbara Mason was the student director. The cast of Our Miss Brooks included Miss Brooks, Margaret Fay, Miss Finch, Jeanette Englebrect, Hugo Longacre, Donn Clauser, Mr. Wadsworth, John Weidert, Miss Audubon, Carol Mickelson, .and some supporting students, Elsie, Phyllis Grice, Elaine, Donna Claywell, Jane, Carol Roberts, Sylvia, Shirley Behrens, Doris, Mary Cavitt, Marge, Gloria Gerber, Faith, Pat Wall, Rhonda, Ellen Eastburn, Ted, Keith Schmidt, Stanley, Charles St. Germain, Martin, Bill Razzano, plus some basketball players, Joe Koonce, DouglasiShonts and an eccentric School Board President, Ruth Ellen Prevo.

LIBRARY CLUB During my many meanders through the halls of W. C. H. S., l happened to propel myself into a bookworm's paradise---the library. , l found to my dismay that knowlege upon almost any subject could be secured within the four walls of that room if one iust knew where to look. Unfortunately, l was not familiar enough with the library to know just where to look, so with a bewildered attitude l proceeded to hail the nearest student and asked him how one ever found the right book in such a huge place. He informed me that there had been a club formed to assist poor souls like me. This club was called the Library Club. Upon investigation, l found the Library Club is made up of students that are responsible in a large part for the smooth functioning of the library. They assist the student in finding information, securing it, and do many other iobs that a library requires for smooth operation. Not only are they a business group but they are also a social group for they have many parties during the year and attend conventions. Miss Margaret Watkins ads as the head librarian and sponsor of the Library Club. The officers of the Library Club are President, Sally Brammer, Vice-president, Jeannie Martin, Secretary, Betty Koenig, and Treasurer, Beverly Milar. 7'l L L 1 Fourth Row---Betty Koenig, Diane Anderson, Mariorie Perry, Mary Prater, Gloria Howard, Donna Drover, Norma Graeber, Sharon Wolf, Jane Hess, Ruth Ellen Prevo.

A. l saw a little bit ot everything during my visit to W.C.H.S. but I think the strangest sight of all was the day I came to school and discovered hobo's running all over the place. Now, l'm not a superstitious Indian, but let me tell you when l saw those hobo's--my little moccasined feet took off tor the nearest plain-clothed student, for an explanation. She set my poor betuddled brain to rest by explaining the G.A.A. was holding a Hobo Day Party. G.A.A.? I said curiously. Whats that? She then explained that the G.AA. was a Girl's Athletic Association. lt is in its fourth year ot existance in Watseka and is a rapidly advancing organization. lt has a membership of 50 and is open to all girls interested in athletics and the competitive field of sports. I This club has done much to promote girl's sports by organizing supervised basketball, hockey, volley-ball, softball, etc. teams. These teams play tournaments against each other. The G.A.A. of Watseka is taking part in the State basketball shooting contest this year and is also holding some swimming parties tor girls interested in learning to swim. lt is possible to receive a variety of awards in the G.A.A. The basis tor receiving these awards is laid on a point system. This system is in operation in Watseka and points are given for participation in sports and tor abiding by certain training rules. This year the G.A.A. sponsored a Play-day for other schools in the county. ln addition to this they were active in many social functions among which were: a formal dance, a hobo party, a potluck supper, and an athletic show. Miss Janice Fager acts as an advisor tor the G.A.A. With this explanation given, l thanked her and padded on down the hall a much more en- lightened Indian. 72 Second Row--Sharlene Margolis, Betty Jane Stump, Shirley Peters, Lois Watts, JoAnn Stephenson, Carolyn Alcorn, John Ash, Jack Ferrerop Sam Dooley, Dale Flachg James Thomas, Jane Hess: Robert Grimes, William Ash, Sam Foster, Bill Sandilandg Raymond Clatterbuckg Paul Sorenson, Harold Wengert, Kenneth Clawsonj Carlos Molnarg Mickey McAnarney.

DRIVER'S TRAINING Ever since I came to Watseka I was filled with a great desire to learn howto drive. But how? , I asked myself. I iust couIdn't go up and ask anyone to teach me to drive. Finally out of desparation I put the following announcement on the bulletin board. Wanted--a capable person to teach me, Iniun Joe , to drive a car. I will be willing to concentrate very hard and will even try to pay you. Desparate Iniun Joe A few days later I received an answer to my prayers via a letter from Ralph Dodson. I couldn't possibly eaqalain all that he told me in that letter so with his permission l'II let you read it. Dear In'un Joe I 1 I happened to read your notice on the bulletin board the other day and I think I have an answer to your dreams. We have a course in Watseka High called Driver's Training . This course first originated in 1947 and I am the instructor of it. In this course, I will teach you how to drive correctly with hand signals and skill tests. You will have a minimum of three hours and a maximum of five hours of actualy driving yourself. You will also be given classroom instructions from books put out by the Chicago Motor Club. And here's the good part about it Iniun Joe l It won't cost anything only the expense of the text books. You don't even have to furnish a car. You see, lniun Joe , the Shonkwiler Motor Sales of Watseka have been kind enough to donate a brand new Dodge to our school for instruction purposes every year since the Driver's Education course was established. Well, Iniun Joe I think I've outlined our course to you fairly well. lf, however, you have any questions that you feel you would like to have answered iust come and see me. I shall be glad to try to answer them. Yours truly, Instructor Ralph Dodson The letter certainly did answer all m uestions and I was ver leased about the whole plan. Y CI Y P What did I do? Well, I'll let you in on a secret. Hlniun Joe now has a driver's license! 73 ' Mi' THE PRCM JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM What happens when an Indian named lniun Joe goes formal? Well l'lI tell you, what happens from very personal experience. lt was during the later part of April, 1951, that l received a formal invitation to one of the most anticipated events of the year--the iunior-senior prom. Now l had heard talk about this event ever since l came to visit W.C.l l.S. so naturally l was very anxious and willing to go. As a result of my anxiety, the night of May 4 found me eagerly iumping into my best blanket and feathers to attend the prom. lt was the first prom given in the new high school and really quite a gala affair. Between the hours of six and nine o'clock the heretofore ordinary gym vans transfixed into a modern supper club. The theme chosen for the supper club was Club 52 in honor of the graduating class of that year. Red and yellow were the principal colors of the supper club. They were used in the ceiling, bandstand, and wall silhouettes. White marble pillars were placed at strategic points around the walls to hold up the red and yellow ceiling. Large palms bedecked one wall of the supper club while huge buckets of champagne, slippers, md stars were adorned on the other walls. The banquet was served on individual tables seating four persons each. Boy waiters did the serving in true supper-club style. After the banquet Sam Williamson, the junior class President, gave a welcoming speech to the seniors, James Barnhart, the senior class President then gave the response. Short speeches were also given by Mr. Benjamin West, President of the Board of Education and Mr. Robert C. Grant, Principal of W.C.H.S. There was dancing between the hours of eight and twelve o'clock to the music of the Phil LeVant orchestra. About twelve o'clock the balloons were let down, this brought the events ofthe evening to a grand close and so l went home from my first prom, a very tired but happy Indian with wilted feathers. 75 H Front Row---Gayle Flesher, Charlotte Owings, Karen Roberts, Dorothy Potter, Shirley Spring, Nancy Wil- liams, Sharon Wolfe, Ruth Ellen Prevo.

Back Row---Margaret Fay, Ralph Davis, Esther Prange, Don Morrison, John Lehman, Don Becker, Mr. Upon shuffling into school one early morning half awake, half asleep, I was suddenly alerted Kitzman. to consciousness. Were my poor old sleepy ears deceiving me? No, they were not! I heard music--Indian Music--drumsl I quickly pricked up my feathers and began following my ears to the beloved sound. I soon tracked it down but much to my dismay, I discovered its course was not of Indian Nature. No, indeed, you see I had finally stumbled upon Watseka's high school band practicing Jungle Jump . Maybe I should have been disappointed that it wasn't my Indian pals but I wasn't. Instead I quietly sneaked in and sat down in a back seat to listen. After they had finished practicing I went up to congratulate the conductor, as usual, I got curious, so I asked him a few questions. He answered them by telling me that he was Mr. Richard Kitzman, band conductor of Watseka High. l'le told me that the band has thirty-five members in it. They play at all of the football and basketball games plus presenting concerts throughout the year. They also are planning to enter the district contest this year both with individual numbers and as a group. 76 IU? , i 2 7 i A ! 5 Z l also managed to discover that Mr. Kitzman's band has organized a swing band this year. The theme song of which is Tenderly . In conclusion I thought l might list the names of the band members and what they play. You Il . 1, 4 s . - - 1 see, lnlun Joe , also found this out by a little scouting, so with your permission l suggest that you proceed to the next page.

L CHORUS One day as I was walking down the hall I happened to hear a lady mumbling to herself about how she simply must have someone to sing bass in her chorus. I lust couldn't stand to see a lady in distress so what did I do? Well naturally, I bashfully padded over to her and then sheepishly told her how I, Iniun Joe, was the very best bass singer in my tribe. I also told her that before I would consider singing in her chorus I must have more information about it. She introduced herself to me as Miss Margaret Dougherty, head of the vocal department in Watseka. Under her direction were a girls' chorus, a boys' chorus, and a mixed chorus. The girls' chorus is a vocal group of about 25. They sing three part harmony--soprano, second soprano, and alto. The girls have a special contest group that meets each Friday. The boys' chorus is a vocal group of about 30. They meet each Friday. They also sing three part harmony. The mixed chorus is the largest of her vocal groups. They number approximately 45. This group sings four part harmony. In addition to these vocal groups, Miss Dougherty also has two octettes and a mixed quartet under her direction.

CLUB You probably think I'm rather nosey by now, but after all, how can al person ever learn any- thing without eavesdropping iust a little? As an example, iust let me tell you about the W Club. One day during home room period it was announced that there would be a W Club Meeting that hour. I hurriedly attracted my neighbors attention and asked him what the W Club was. He told me it was an organization in the school composed of boys that had earned letters because of their athletic ability and participation in sports. Well, I thought to myself. This club sounds just like it was made for me. You see, not to be bragging or anything, but in my tribe I was the chief athlete. Consequently, when the two bells rang, off I trotted to the meeting to prove my prowess as an athlete. When I got to the meeting, however, I found that they did not participate in sports events. Instead they held a very orderly business meeting. I decided to stay anyway and so I sat down and listened. I'm very glad that I did because I learned some very interesting things about the club. It has been in existance for two years now and during that time has done much to build it- self up and contribute to school spirit. During its existance the W Club has sponsored many all school affairs. This year it spon- sored the Watseka Homecoming Dance. ln addition to these social functions they have furnished buses free of charge many times to take spectators to our of town athletic events. The officers of this organization are Bill McGill, President, Tom Davis, Vice-president, Howard Gordon, Secretary-Treasurer, and Dick Francisco, Sergeant of Arms. Mr. Robert Prymuski is the sponsor of this up and coming organization. 8'l if 1-A , . grail? :? f5?g .. X I I POF CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1952 M. C.
