Laugharn, a friend to all, ever willing to help never afraid to tackle even the 'most difficult problem, al- ways a source of sound advice, ever faithful to the cause of education, we, the staff, dedicate the 1954 Wave. OFQLUOI' The staff takes great pleasure in presenting to the students and faculty of Waverly High School the 1954 WAVE. This book has been prepared for one purpose. That purpose is to preserve under one cover the highlights of a busy school year. We hope that we have succeeded. It has been a great task, that is true. But, we have not considered it an onerous chore or a distasteful job. Despite all the work, worries, and diffi- culties encountered, it has been a satisfying experience. We have attempted, for your convenience, to group all related material together. We have tried, through the use of words and pictures, to make each part of the book a story in itself, and when all combined, one big story, the story of the 1953-54 school year. Read this book. Enjoy this book. Treasure this book. Its value will grow with the years. 3 . '7- Wfwi' Jack Gillespie . Lois Hermes . Patti Hunt . . Barbara Cave . Norma Berndt . Betty McCready Anne Fitch . .

Their officers for the Freshman year were: Betty Staton, Presidentg Rosalie Williams, Vice-President, Bill Jones, Secretary-Treasurer: Jack Gillespie, Reporter, and David Workman, Student Council Representative, Their advisors were Mr. Lawton and Mr. Conlee. During the year the class sponsored a skating party and a weiner roast, and at both events everyone had a grand time. The Freshman candidates for Homecoming King and Queen were Dale Fitzpatrick and Rosalie Pitchford. Dale was elected Homecoming King, The Freshman float, a gigantic skunk, won second place in the Homecoming Parade. Lois Hermes was the queen candidate for the F. H. A. Formal Dance. And now it was 1951, and the group became known as Sophomores. Oh, what exultation to be a lordly Sopho- more! See them puff out their chests and tilt their noses. But despite this sudden head-swelling, the class elected a capable set of officers. David Workman became Presidentg Patti Hunt, Vice-President: Betty Brown, Secretary- Treasurerp and Jack Gillespie, Student Council Representative. Mr. Lawton and Miss Logan were their advisors. The Homecoming King and Queen candidates were Robert Skelton and Shirley Gray. Betty McCready was F. H. A. For- mal Dance Queen candidate. Their most notable achievement the Sophomore year was sponsoring a Halloween party and dance for the school. Time passed, and at length our little band became Juniors. It is fine to be a Junior! No one feels quite as grown-up as a Junior, Almost as old as mother and dadl But they have a greater task to match their rise in station. The Seniors are expecting a big Junior-Senior Prom. And proms cost money, So, taking careful aim at the target, they start to work. The officers elected for the year were Jack Gillespie, President, Lois Hermes, Vice-President: Patti Hunt, Secretary -Treasurer, and Don Handy, Student Council Representative. Mr. Lawton and Mr. Conlee were their advisors. The candidates for Homecoming King and Queen were Don Handy and Patti Hunt. Don was elected Homecoming King. Barbara Cave was F. H. A. Fonnal Dance Queen candidate. To raise the needed sums for the Prom, the Juniors sold candy during the noon hours, had a stand at the basketball games, picked up corn, and had a scrap drive. All these enterprises were successful fwith the exception of the scrap drive: the less said about this event the better., On May 8, 1953, their labors bore fruit in the form of a very successful Junior-Senior Prom, the theme of which was 'Garden of Friendship' . Another high-light of their Junior year was the Junior Play entitled 'Our Miss Brooks , which was presented on December 17, 1953, under the direction of Mrs. Treat. The class also spon- sored a hay ride and weiner roast. Three members of the class, Dale Fitzpatrick, Bill Jones, and J ack Gillespie were selected to attend Premier Boys State at Springfield. Lois Hermes was selected to attend Girls State at Mac- Murray College in Jacksonville. The school year '53-'54 dawned and they were Seniors. Seniors! A magic term. A wonderful, secure feeling to be a senior. For their officers they elected Don Handy, President: Lois Hermes, Vice-President: Anne Fitch, Secre- tary: Cecil Smith, Treasurer: Dale Fitzpatrick, Reporter: and Jack Gillespie, Student Council Representative. Mr. Lawton was their sponsor for the fourth year. The Homecoming King and Queen candidates were Howard Goacher and Anne Fitch. Howard was elected Homecoming King. The Senior float won first place in the Homecoming Parade. The F. H. A. King candidates were Gary Harvey and Don Handy. Gary was elected King. The F.H. A. For- mal Dance Queen candidate was Betty Brown. Barbara Cave was chosen by her fellow classmates and the faculty to receive the D. A.R. award. The Seniors very much enjoyed the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet given in their honor by the Juniors. T'hey closed their four-year sojourn at Waverly High with a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten class trip, Through all their high school years the Seniors participated, and were prominent in the activities of the various school organizations and in athletics. They have, for the most part, tried to be good students and get the most out of their high-school years. Let us hope that they have succeeded, and can go forward into life with their feet firmly planted on a solid foundation, a high school education, .li QMCQFJ v...,1 Q 4? INSERT: Don Handy, President.

The shop students busied themselves moving the machinery and tools from the old shop to the new. A great part of the year was spent in repairing, setting up, and building machines and cabinets. The ultimate goal was a neat, well-arranged shop. In addition to the shop area proper, the new annex has a drafting room which offers excellent facilities to drafting students. ln accordance with its expanded facilities, the Industrial Arts department ex- panded its teaching program to embrace four major areas of shop work: drafting, woodwork, metalwork, and electricit . The Industrial Arts Club, which this ear boasts a membership of fifty, held an organizational meeting.. at which the following officers were elected: Jack Gillespie, President, Raymond Pitc ford, Vice-President: Ernie Miner, Secretary-Treasurer: and Dale Fitzpatrick, Reporter. I... E. Laugharn is the Advisor. On October l9th the new members were initiated into the club at an initiation meeting held in the gym. On October 27th, a new constitution was presented to the club by the officers and was unanimously ratified. One of the constitution's provisions called for a Board of Directors to regulate the club's policies. This board consists of the officers and four elected class representatives. The elected representatives were as follows: Don Deathera e, Freshman: Gary Richardson, Sophomore: Phil Dossett, Junior: and John Woods, ienior. The club agreed upon an official club jacket with emblem, and most club members purchased one. ln March, the club became affiliated with the Illinois Industrial Education Clubs, a state-wide industrial arts organization. Open House was held on April 29th, so that the lpublic could inspect the new. department, and some of the items of craft and ski l which have been made in it. ln May, delegates were sent to the Illinois Industrial Education Clubs Convention at Belleville, Illinois.

The school building lies serene in the early morning calm, The first one to invade its sacred precincts is the janitor as he comes to open wide the portals to admit the many who will soon be coming. And they come, few at first, then more and more. And so another normal school day starts. But wait! Something is wrong here. The fresh- men are being grabbed as soon as they arrive and rushed to the new Shop. Not one escapes, not even new faculty mem- bers. Presently the door opens and out comes a wierd procession of gunnysack dunces. Initiation Day is come. The hallowed halls resound with laughter as the upperclassmen callously make fun of the poor unfortunate initiates. And so the day goes. In the afternoon everyone gathers in the gym and the Student Council puts on a show, at the expense of the freshmen. Pie-covered faces, private detectives, fishing worms, black derbys, marsh- mellows, Shakespereian actors, and mud- pie cooks combine to create that which 'can but amuse. But no one is hurt and the freshmen do not mind too much, for they know that after this day they really and truly belong at W. H. S. 001260011115- The annual Waverly High School Homecoming was celebrated this year on October 15. One of the big events of the day was the parade held in the afternoon. A variety of floats were en- tered, some of which are shown here, along with a picture of the band as it pauses during the pa- rade. The following high school classes and organizations won prizes for their floats. Seniors-lst prize F. H. A. -Znd prize Freshmen-3rd prize Sophomores-4th prize F. F. A. -5th prize .

Amid fanfare and cheers, Their Majesties, King Howard Goacher and Queen Donna Wilson arrived to receive the plaudits of Their subjects. The Gentlemen-at-Arms attending the King were Tom Bostic, Don Hermes, and Dale Sexton. The Ladies-in-Waiting attending the Queen were Anne Fitch, Joan Edwards, and Diane Harrington. With regal pomp and pagentry the Royal couple and their court proceeded to the stage, where Their Majesties were enthroned. The Royal couple of 1952, King Don Handy and Queen Wilma Wood placed the royal crowns upon the royal heads. King Howard and Queen Donna, followed by the court, then withdrew, and the coronation was over.

The 1953 football season saw Coaches Spalding and Cooper's Waverly Scotties capture fourth place in the final M. S. M. Conference standing. The Scotties were led, in their 1953 gridiron appearences, by six seniors and an array of underclassmen. Cecil Smith Coach Spalding Coach Cooper and Howar Goacher were captains. Tasting defeat in their opening four games, the Scotties came to life when they beat Girard in Waverly's annual Homecoming tilt. From there on the boys from Waverly made quite a showing for themselves, winning three, losing one, and tying Pawnee 12-12. 1Pawnee placed second in the conference.1 Throughout the season the offensive power was led by Cecil Smith, John Woods, and Howard Goacher. The leading pass receiver was Dale Fitzpatrick. The defensive stars were Woods, Goacher, Walter, Holloway, and Fitzpatrick. AS THEY PLAYED Capt. Cecil Smith 1251. Smity's running ability was a determining factor in every game. He received Honorable Mention on the All-Conference team. Capt. Howard Goacher 1141. Goacher played a good, consistent game at the halfback position, on both offense and defense. Johan Woods 1321. Big John , who played full back, was a vital part of the team. He received Honorable Mention on the All-Conference team. Dale Fitzpatrick 1271. Fitz was the team's leading pass receiver. He was a hard tackler and played with bulldog tenacity. Don Handy 1221. A knee injury kept Infe from seeing much action. He received a guard position on the All-Conference team. Bill Jones 1171. Jones came out his senior year for the first time and played so well that he advanced to the halfback post. Cecil Holloway 1211. Cec was the team's utility man 1in one game he played thirteen positions1. He was a good passer at the quarterback post. Bill Walter 1191. Billie played a good game as guard both on offense and de- fense. Tom Bostic 1291. Bug-Juice was the team's capable center, who sometimes let his temper get the best of him. Joe Colvin 1161. Joe played left guard, and seemed always able to get a scratch- ed face. Don Hart 1331. Leon was the team's big tackle who played almost all of every game. Loren Thomas 1341. Horse was an asset at either tackle position, and always came up smiling for more. Maurice Robertson 1151. Morrie played the quarterback position, and could run or pass equally well. Clifford Lowery 1311. Cliff played either end well, and earned his first varsity letter. Ken Boyd 1121. Flop played left end position and earned his first varsity letter. Dale Sexton 1161. Da1e was the only freshman who lettered. He played half- back and line backer. Gary Howard 1101. Indian made up for size with grit and was an asset to the whole team. 57 s ffub qs-vgq -Y - i in J, N 'Q ' J ai- wi 6A QQPAGLJ 2125 Waverly High had the good fortune to be blessed this year with a set of the peppiest cheerleaders imaginable.

NOT PICTURED: Herschel Fitzpatrick, Blaine Smith, Don Deatherage. Although the Scotties didn't post an impressive record this year, they did manage to rack up a few upsets. Among the upsets were victories over such high- ly rated teams as Winchester, Bluffs, and Chapin. The Scotties seemed to play their best ball in tournament games. They copped the 3rd place trophy at Win- chester, and after winning their first game in the Jacksonville regional, they gave Jacksonville a big scare in the semi-finals. As one sports writer put it after reviewing the Waverly-J'ville game, the Scotties have been mis-named. They should have been named Bulldogs, for their spirit and fight was equal to the tenacity of bulldog s. im 1, ' L E 65145 we 2 ,, CECIL SMITH, SENIOR, GUARD and captain of the team. Smitty's size was no indication of his playing ability. He was a good ball handler and had a keen eye for the bucket. He also was a good man to have around when it came to rebound- ing. BOB HALL, JUNIOR, CENTER. Bob was one of the better shots on the team and perhaps our be st rebounder. Bob will be back next year. That is a pleasant thought for the coaches to keep in mind! JOHN WOODS, SENIOR, FORWARD. Big John was a valuable man when it came to rebounding. Not many boys pushed him around. John had a good eye for the bucket and usually came up with his share of the points. CECIL HOLLOWAY, JUNIOR, GUARD. Cece could always be depended upon to give his best. He never quit fighting until the horn sounded regardless of the score. He was one of our best ball handlers and could hit from any spot on the floor. It will be nice knowing that he'll be back next year. MAURICE ROBERTSON, SOPHOMORE, FORWARD, Morris was the only Soph- omore to grace the starting line-up. He had a good eye for the bucket and troubled many a defense with his one handers from far out. Morrie has two years left. Watch him go! DAVE WORKMAN, SENIOR, FORWARD, Dave was one of our bigger boys and also one of our better rebounders. No one tried any harder than Dave. He could always be counted on for his share of buckets. Dave will be missed next year, too! PRESTON TURNER, SENIOR, GUARD. This was Turner's first year out. He improved rapidly and only lack of experience handicapped him from breaking into the starting five. However, he did play a lot of ball and could be depended upon to give his best. He was one of the fastest men on the team. KEN BOYD, JUNIOR, GUARD. Flop was about sixth man on the team, but he'll be back next year and sould give everyone a battle for a starting position. Flop has a good assortment of shots and he will be a big asset to the Scotties next year. REGULAR GAMES Ashland 43 Waverly 27 N I. S.

Upon arriving in Chicago they proceeded on a Whirlwind trip of the windy city. They visited the Midway Airport, the Shubert Theatre, a T. V. show, the Museum of Science and Industry, and China Town fwhere they ate in a Chinese restaurant and bought souven- irs in the curio shops., They went to Wrigley Field and saw the Cubs play the Cardinals. They attended a banquet at the Phil Schmitt Restaurant in Whiting, Indiana. They visited the Board of Trade Building, the planetarium, the aquarium, the Field Museum, and Brook- field Zoo. Each and every place that they visited was full of interesting, amusing, and ex- citing experiences.
