Deserted and silent now It stands in the city square, And who is there to care? Or long for the loved sound Of the old school bell? lt, too, is' silent now. Ah! That old school bell! How thrilling a story it could tell Of all the boys and girls lts clear insistent ring Has summoned in bygone days To come and learn Wisdom's waysg And the tales it could relate Of many students, older grown Who from its portals have gone forth And won renown! No more will that old bell with clarion tone Call the school children on hurrying feet To classroom or to playg Or tell to townsfolk in office, shop or home Or in the busy street. The time of day. Deserted and unused, the old school stands Awaiting demolishment at ruthless hands: A magnificent new structure, modern and com- plete, Has made the older building obsolete! 'Tis sad, that chisel and hammer Should wreck those sacred walls So skillfully erected By builders of an earlier day. But time must take his toll, And sentiment a loser in the race With Progress, takes second place. Are there none to say a requiem Or drop a tear For the passing of the old brick school house Of yester year? No Longfellow or Holmes to write an ode Behtting this educational abode! Yet for those who knew its shelter In Youth's happy hours, it will be, Forever enshrined in fond Memory- Not just a building of brick and wood, But a symbol of all that was noble and good. And as the -beloved institution passes from view, The dear familiar landmark we remember so well, Let us pause to bid it a reverent adieu- ' The old brick school house whose fate we regret And whose kindly instruction we will never forget Old friend and protector, farewell. ' -ANNA Spook, CLASS or 1909 Dedication Fifty years have brought many changes to Wfilmington High School. The most recent of these changes is now almost a year oldwthe enlarging of the school district to include the area known as IOC. To make this new district a success, many people have given of their time and energy. lt would be impossible to mention individually all who have worked in this endeavor. Seven of these people, however, chosen by the citizens of the two com- munities, have had the major part of this work for the past year. These seven, mem- bers of the Board of Education, have been successful in making what was two separate communities into the district now known as Wiliiwington-Lorenzo Unit District 209U. To these men, our Board of Education, we wish to dedicate the l95O edition of WI-HI. We, the staff, hope it will measure up in its way to their expectations and that it will in some way express to them our appreciation of their efforts in behalf of Wilmington-Lorenzo High School.

Witli the donning of the rings, forty-five juniors began to feel like upper classmen. ujust Ducky, a threevact comedy, was given on November 18, 19. Miss Ruth Greenman, class sponsor, was director. The class boasts of having had the most players out for sports this year: nine in aa! 7757 if football, eight in basketball, four in base- ball. The Honor Society claims five juniors on its roll. Of course, the big event of the year was the junior-senior prom, given May 12. Music was by Gene Victor's Orchestra, and the set- ting-Carnival ln Venice. It was a night long to be remembered!

On October 15, the class initiated the fresh- men with a traditional party at which the latter were the goats for fun and nonsense. A return party was enjoyed by the class later in the year. Regular class meetings have been held each month during the year. At the December meet- ing, a local speaker, Mrs. David Feely, gave a talk on parliamentary procedure. Debates, and films Con human rights and the goal of the U. NJ have provided other programs. Dues have been col- af U52 .. lected and this money will be used for some social activity for the class. In November and again in March, the sopho- more edition of the school paper was published under the title of The Silhouette. A managing committee of six was responsible for the work on each edition. The number seven comes up in two activities -seven members of the class made the Honor Society, and seven participated in sports. Winning over the senior girls by a score of 14 to 8, the sophomore girls were champions in the intra- mural basketball tournament. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Miss Butler, sponsor D.

The activities of these boys and girls include H GRADE scouting and the Legion Baseball Club. Parties were given at Christmas and Valentines day. Many hobbies interest this group: sports, horses, collecting dolls, dogs, swimming medals, sea shells, statues of animals, stamps, and money, working with jig saw. 20 + Seam!! W When Mother, or Maybe Grandmother, Was a Girl Do you remember the games you used to play? There was blindman's bluff, drop the handkerchief, or three deep. The group in the playground picture below are playing some circle game, which we have named l'Farmer in the Dell. Can you remember the thrill, and the embarrassment, too, of being chosen the farmer's wife? Standing inside the circle, with a white hair bow and wearing a white pinafore, is Madeline Lacey. Her mother, Mrs. Jerry Lacey, is a former teacher in the Wilmington Public School. Madeline is now Mrs. I-Ienn and the mother of three children. She lives in Chicago. On Madeline's left is Blanche Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Young. Blanche is in radio work in the Indianapolis Public Schools. A pioneer in this field of education, Blanche plans and supervises the radio programs used in the public schools of Indianapolis. She also has many recordings available for home use. A contest was conducted in Wilmington a number of years ago to select the most popular girl. Mary McDowell, now Mrs. Frank Williams, won the piano which was given as a prize. In a white pinafore, Mary stands to the left of Miss Young. In front of the three just mentioned, is a girl in a middy suit and wearing her hair in a single braid. This is Genevieve Taylor, now Mrs. Denton and the mother of two children. Her husband operates a drug store in Champaign where they make their home. The little girl sitting on the grass and nearest to the circle on the right is Orlina Schoenemann. Now Mrs. Richardson, Orlina has one son. Perhaps this picture will help recall other games you played. Perhaps it will bring back pleasant memories of school days. At least that is our hope. Farmerlin the Dell? .

Fighting hard to win as any boys' team ever watched, and yet showing excellent sportsmanshipg both teams set a fast pace and held it all through the game. O'Donnell led the scor- ing for the sophomores with five points. Eight of the sophomores' 14 points were scored on free throws. During the second half, the senior girls' were scoreless. The senior boys took a thrilling decision over the juniors by a score of 45-44. Excellent team work in both classes and extremely fast playing made this the most exciting game of the tourna- ment as they matched each other basket for bas- ket. At the half time the score was only one point in favor of the seniors, 21-20. It was not until after the buzzer had sounded that the score of the game was decided on a free throw by Eriksen.-- Sophomore Silhouette, March, 1950. 0510 -si jj I? -Ng 4 -S-..,.2-17 fa? 57 X J 12:9 i ef i n f . x ' ao 1 :!!i Ln .'!! lllll ll!!! izlij Ill. lllll rf H 'sl iii ai!! 5 qv!
