KEWANITE

Fifty years ago the first Kewanite was created in this old building. Throughout the years it has grown, developed, and matured, until today it has become one of the traditions of Kewanee High. Styles of dress may change, the manner of speaking may change, the curriculum may change; but the true spirit of our school remains constant. As the same old clock in the tower still tolls the hours for the students of today, so the year book still records the pulse beat of our school.

ANNIVERSARY

In 1954, with the publication of our golden anniversary edition, we hope to preserve for the future in sound, as well as in pictures and print, the accomplishments of the fiftieth year. Added to this year's book is the sound recording of the highlights of this golden year. From the very first greetings of the Student Council president at the first assembly of the year through the classes, games, and social events down to the slow measured strains of Pomp and Circumstance bidding the seniors farewell, this anniversary book brings you in picture, word, and sound the fun, the works, and the spirit of a real Kewanee High.

CONTENTS In this Kewanite we look back on the friendships we made in the wide variety of organizations and activities offered by our school. The clean sportsmanship of our athletes reflects the enthusiastic spirit of K.H.S. through the years. Led by the excellent guidance of our faculty, we strive to succeed.

OLD

STAFF OF

1904

Each of these six members was in complete charge of his own department. These sections included art, literary, history, and humor. The editor-in-chief and the business manager rounded out this small staff.

STAFF OF

1954

The editorial staff now consists of ten members. Each editor heads his own department with approximately four or five students working u n d e r him. Throughout the years additional staffs were added. Among these were production, circulation, and sponsorship. Just this year another new editor was added, production manager. The staff now puts out a larger, more interesting book, portraying the ideas with pictures and sounds, rather than by words only.

Although fifty years have passed since the first Kewanite, we find that 1904 activities play an important role in school life today. Choir, glee clubs, and class plays, all found in the 1904 yearbook, are still among the favorite activities of K.H.S. students. "She Stoops to Conquer" presented by the Senior Class of 1904.

During Homecoming festivities, the Council planned the parade, assembly, and the crowning of the queen. They also sponsored student buses to our-of-town football games. Adding to the Christmas spirit, the organization decorated a Christmas tree in the main hall. Mr. Wood advised the Council; and the officers were, president, Dick McElhiney, vicepresident, Henry Zang, secretary, Paul Pirtle, and Mondo Lopez, treasurer.

Bi-Phy-Chem is one of the most active clubs in K.H.S. With Harry Dhondt as president, Judy Varney as vice-president, Helen Albrecht as secretary, and Carol Fleming as treasurer, this science club accomplished many things. Miss Flori was their able advisor. To start the year off right the club won first prize float at Homecoming with the slogan, " I Kewanee Take Thee East Peoria." Selling hotdogs at football games was their ma|or source of income. To make good use of the money earned they took a trip to Chicago, which included a tour through the Museum of Science and Industry. Later on in the year they went to the district science meet at Macomb where several members exhibited projects they had worked on during the year. Those winning first place went on to the state exhibit at Monmouth. The club can participate in these science projects because they are members of the Illinois Junior Academy of Science. For side trips on meeting nights the club visited a hospital and a dairy. In the spring the members took a trip to the Mississippi Palisades Park where they studied the earth's vegetation and rock formations.

Every first and third Wednesday of the month an interesting and varying program was planned by the four officers of this art club. These ambitious officers were Phil Roberts, president, Dan Albrecht, vice-president, Sybil Peterson, secretary, and Dale Vaughn, treasurer. The co-advisors were Mrs. Amelia Leitze and Mrs. Dorothy Smith. To raise funds for the year's activities the club sold candy bars at all the home football and basketball games. They also added a new idea to the fun of the Regional Tournament by selling orange and black tissue-paper shakers. For their annual trip to Chicago, the club visited the Art Institute and Field's Museum to add to their knowledge of art appreciation. Palette and Brush is a chapter of the National Art Honor Society and is known as the Doris Lee Chapter.

GIRL'S

FEDERATION

Serving the school and community, the Girls' Federation Council acts as a service group for all girls.

Marcia Moran led the club,

with Julie Smith as vice-president, Janice Van Vooren as secretary, Judy Nelson as treasurer, and Miss Harrod as their capable advisor. In the fall they started off by having social get-togethers for Seated: M. Moran, Miss Harrod. Standing: J, Nelson, J. Smith, J, Van Vooren.

the new girls in school, as well as all the freshmen girls. The Big-Little Sister party in the spring acquainted the eighth grade girls with the upper classmen and gave them an opportunity to see the building which they will soon be entering.

Another activity

was to send tray favors to the St. Francis and Public Hospitals, and Christmas favors to the Veteran's Hospital. The traditional survey of a graduation class was another big job to occupy their time.

This year each member of the class of

'52 received a typewritten copy stating the location and occupation of every member of the class.

As a project to add to their

treasury the girls sold candy ar the Junior and Senior Class Plays, and at the Publications Carnival.

Whether a nickel or a dime, any amount helps the Junior Red Cross Council to secure mcney for their yearly projects.

In November, the or-

ganization, with the motto, "To Serve All and Everyone," began their annual Red Cross Drive. Later on each member was given a pattern end a piece of cloth, with which they made small stuffed animals.

At Christmas, several members

went 1o the Andover Children's Home where they distributed the toys.

During the year, as

another project, they made tray favors for both hospitals in Kewanee, and for the Veteran's Hospital at Danville.

GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION With their motto, "Sports For All and All for Sports," firm in mind, the Girls' Athletic Association of Kewanee High continues to stimulate interest in girls' athletics and encourages active participation. The club was successfully led this year by Elaine Van Dierendonck as president, Judy Wickham as vice-president, Debby Young as secretary-treasurer, and Miss Rhoda Dybvig serving as their advisor. With a large enrollment, the members of C.A.A. completed many activities throughout the year. They attended a workshop in Rockford, and won second place with a clever float in the Homecoming parade. They used the slogan, "We'll Sleigh East Peoria," and on the float was a real sleigh drawn by "horses". At the Publications' Carnival the C.A.A. sponsored a "Basket-Throwing" booth, and this added considerably to their funds. The club members participated in a postal bowling tournament, and passed league skill tests in basketball and tumbling.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION CLUB With John Ast as president, the I.E.C. completed a busy year. Helping John lead the group were Mickey Tieman as vice-president, Dwight Reiff as secretary, Jack Robinson as treasurer, Duane Lemke as reporter and Tom VanOverberg as sentinel. Mr. Paul V. McMorris and Mr. Galen Landis acted as advisors for the group. Trips, conventions and money making projects kept the boys busy. Traveling to Reck Island, the club put on a half hour TV program. This program was in the form of a club meeting with reports from the various committees from each of the departments in Industrial Education. An all day bus trip to Chicago for a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry was their next trip. In May, the president and other delegates attended a convention at Belleville, Illinois. It gave them an opportunity to compare notes with what the other clubs were doing and to receive new ideas for their own club. To give the club financial backing, the I.E.C. participated in the high school Publications Carnival, as well as having a very successful scrap iron drive. They also acted as ushers at the annual open house for parents during American Education Week. Their float entry in the Homecoming parade won first prize in the building division awards.

PROJECTIONISTS AND STAGE HANDS Under the superior guidance of Mr, V. L. Fairfield, the Kewanee High projectionists have done a very good job in aiding our faculty with its program of visual aids. These boys have shown movies for civic organizations, business establishments, individual citizens of Kewanee, and were always on hand to run the motion picture machines for classes and assemblies when needed. Without their aid our studies would lack variety and interest. Learning how

Meeting every second and fourth Monday of the month the F.H.A. has accomplished many things. During the Christmas season they sold Christmas cards and sent a Christmas basket to a needy family. They also made over four hundred cookies which they very generously donated to the Red Cross Bloodmobile. They sent many representatives to conventions and they also sent two delegates to State Camp this summer. One of their annual projects was to sell mums at the Homecoming game. In May they sponsored their annual mother-daughter banquet honoring the mothers of the members.

This club works together to promote better and happier home life for everyone. They feel that their most important goal in American democracy is to help make happy homes now and in the future. One week out of the school year is set aside as National F.H.A. Week. In the fall our local F.H.A. put on its own program to emphasize the importance of this week. Among the things they did at this time were giving out carnations to all members of the faculty, sponsoring an assembly, and attending church on Sunday with their families.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA

The Mollie Peterson chapter of the Future Teachers of America holds its meeting twice a month. This organization helps students who are interested in the field of teaching to decide if they really want to go on in later life and be teachers. They are sent out into the grade schools of our community to do practice teaching. Here they take complete charge of the class and have the opportunity to find out some of the pointers of the teaching profession. They can go into any grade from kindergarten to junior high school, whichever one they find the most interesting to them. The Future Teachers of America has a credit system in their club. The students are given one credit for each hour they are out practice teaching. They also receive credits for such things as teaching Sunday School, attending the regular meetings of the club, state and district meetings, attaining good grades, and being an officer of the club. The Kewanee chapter of the Future Teachers of America was named for Miss Mollie Peterson, an outstanding figure in the community of Kewanee, who gave fifty years of her life to the teaching profession.

The Future Teachers of America chose Julie Smith to lead them this year, with Marcy Charlet as vice-president, Barbara Zumber as secretary and Beverly Schopa as treasurer. The officers this year planned the regular meetings plus the Christmas party, and the annual banquet held at the end of the school year, with the help of their advisor, Mr. Kenneth Middleton.

Retailing presents a real challenge to people who are not afraid to work hard and enjoy it. In this field one should have a good personality and aim for more than just an average performance. That was the aim of the members of the distributive education class this year. Besides selling K.H.S. monogramed stationery, they conducted a

survey on the "Buying Habits of Teen Agers", attended the state convention, and gave an EmployerEmployee Banquet. The officers chosen to lead the club this year were Ed Sherbyn as president, Richard Currier as vice-president, Maree Anne Webber as secretary, and Elaine Corwin as treasurer.

CLASSES CAN

BE

FUN!

An hour in Spanish class

A typical day in craft class

Classes are not always the same dull grind over and over, as we sometimes think they are. When we get away from the text books and daily routines, as this Spanish class is doing by listening to records, then we find classes can be more interesting to the students. In this way, too, the students take an active part in the class and enjoy learning.

In the craft class much variety is added to the course by the wide variety of projects offered, ranging from painting designs on trays, to wcodcarving and weaving cloth on the loom, as the girls above are learning to do. These classes are just two examples of the varying activities carried on in our classrooms.

TRAFFIC SAFETY COUNCIL At the beginning of each school year, each class elects two students to represent them on the Traffic Safety Council. This year the elected chairman of the council was Harry Dhondt, who was assisted by Gerry Richards, secretary, Dick McElhiney, Student Council president and Mr. Wood, the advisor. The purpose of the council is to promote safety for all students, by stopping reckless driving of the students around school. The reckless students are reported to the council, which acts accordingly to decide what should be done.

HOMECOMING Homecoming with all its activities brought another busy weekend to K.H.S. Many organizations worked hard and long on their floats, and later the parade through town brought many well earned "ohs" and "ahs" from the crowd. Homecoming afternoon, each class presented their own clever skit in assembly and afterwards Queen Maree Anne and her court, pictured at left, Marjorie Matson, freshman, Janice Lambert sophomore, Marilyn Huggins junior, and Marcia Moran senior, were introduced. At the game that night, the crowning of the queen by the co-captains, was the moment everyone had been waiting for. The following evening the senior class sponsored a dance, which wound up the 1954 homecoming.

"Head in the Clouds" was the play presented by the senior class play cast, with the patient help of Miss Jeanne Trovillian, play director, and the assistance of Barb Pyle prompter and Ed Keller stage manager. The comedy revolves around the day-dreams of a teen-age girl, Amy Matthews, and her brother, Hugo, who constantly takes pictures of everyone, and especially of Amy in the midst of her dreams. As Amy's dreams grow more and more frequent, her friends, Blair Hendricks, Chrissie Mott, Lois Stuart, Julian Reed, and one of her teachers, Miss Willis, become involved, as weil as alarmed. Amy finally comes down to earth when she realizes all the trouble she is causing, and finds her picture in LIFE magazine.

MID-WINTER

FORMAL

"Moonlight Mist" was the dreamy theme chosen by the co-sponsors of the Midwinter Formal, the Senior TriHi-Y and the Senior Hi-Y organizations. The dance floor was set off from the rest of the gym floor by a false ceiling of blue net and blue and white streamers hanging from the edge of the "sky". A fountain bubbling clouds of mist, and many twinkling silver stars added to the romantic atmosphere. Carrol! Baker's orchestra furnished the music for the many couples that attended, and as an added attraction the orchestra featured a drum solo. During the intermission, six eighth grade girls dressed in blue and white costumes decorated with silver stars, served refreshments. The dancers left their dreamland of mist with many happy memories of an unforgetable evening.

JUNIOR-SENIOR

PROM

With the theme "Oriental Gardens", the junior class sponsored the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Under the colorful red and yellow false ceiling hung beautiful Japanese lanterns. The center of attraction was a huge Buddha who held an incense burner in his extended hands. For entertainment the class of "54" called upon Jack Bert who played his violin, and Mrs. Jeannette Livek Norquist, a former alumni, who sang and accompanied herself on her accordion. All the hard work and time the decoration, theme, program, and refreshment committees put in was certainly not spent in vain since everyone agreed it was one of the most magnificent proms ever held. With the closing "Good Night Sweetheart" by Carroll Baker's Orchestra, the evening in the Orient came to an end. Top—"Gangway, I'm coming through!" Bottom—"Posing!"

DEBATE CLUB

"Resolved that the President of the United States should be elected by direct vote of the people", was the timely topic of our Debate Team this year. The varsity affirmative team; Julie Smith and Jim Cord, took the stand that the president should be directly elected by all the people. The negative team, Caroline Andrews and Jim Smith, debated that we should retain our present system of electing our president through the electoral college. The alternates, Judy Griffin, Richard Zang, Bill Terry, and Ed Carney, were always ready to replace the varsity in case of an emergency. Starting off the year our affirmative speakers debated against Ceneseo's negative team in an exhibition debate. The teams then entered into actual competition at the Ceneseo Tournament where they defeated Rock Falls and Gsneseo, taking seventh place. Next the debaters (raveled to Augustana College where they won six out of twelve debates to give them seventh place. Further competition was at the Northwest Conference Tournament at Rock Island where the Kewanee teams met Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, and Calesburg, losing only to Rock Island which gave them second place. By winning three debates in the Rock Falls Invitational Debate Tournament, the speakers finished third. Entering the Sectional Tournament at Woodruff High School, the debaters' last competition of the year, they walked off with third place, missing a chance to go to state by only one round of debate. To finance all these trips, the club sold cokes at the home basketball games. Besides their regular competition, they performed e x h i b i t i o n debates for various organizations in Kewanee, giving them valuable experience as well as displaying their talents.

MUSIC ORGANIZATIONS PRESIDENTS—

The Advanced Girls' Glee Club showed themselves proud by presenting many excellent programs during the year. They elected Janice Mason as their president. The Boys' Glee Club, which has increased remarkably in number during the last few years, chose John Spets to lead them. Working together these four groups produced the annual Spring Concert, which is enjoyed by the entire community. They appeared separately in various assemblies throughout the school year and again jointly arranged and presented a most enjoyed Christmas assembly.

CONCERT The band officers pictured below, left to right, are Dave Brooks, vice-president, Mr. Bert, Harry Dhondt, president, and Maree Anne Webber, secretary-treasurer. They planned the band and orchestra Christmas dance, the transportation to Monmouth for the Tri-Schooi Band Festival, and the picnic at the end of the year.

The band has had an extremely busy year. After about a week of school, they began their performing season by parading for the Fall Festival. This was followed by a football show for every home game and a trip to Galesburg for a performance at the Calesburg-Kewanee football game. The K.H.S. and Caiesburg High School bands combined for the pre-game ceremony and flag raising. The band enjoyed doing a variety of formations this year. The entrance at the half was made in a long single line which extended across the entire field and the marching was done in quick step. Each visiting school was saluted with a " H I " formation and appropriate music. Seme of the formations at the half included a " W I N " and "54" made by the band with spirited music to pep up the teams and the fans. Homecoming festivities included a wonderful parade led by the band and the six twiriers. In the evening the queen was crowned and the band saluted the alumni and then formed a huge crown with appropriate music and fanfare for the ceremony. At the half, a plea was made to the Kewanee people for a new school. An old building was depicted by the band, and the students were sad. When the old building tumbled, the new modern school was built and the students

BAND went to school happily to the tune of "School Days" in swing rhythm. The Dads were honored with a Dad's Day game and the band told the story of Dad and his troubles with various animated formations, a cradle, a cane, and finally a dollar sign, for Dad paid the bills. At the last game the band formed a large Christmas tree with colored lights, and closed each half time ceremony with the traditional large "K" formation, sometimes with lights. A pep band furnished music throughout the year for assemblies and all home basketball games. This group also appeared at the Rotary Club and the Franklin Carnival. The seventy-five piece Concert Band played two formal concerts, the Mid-Winter Concert in February and the Spring Concert in April Both were well attended and the students were inspired to do their best. In May, the band journeyed to Monmouth to unite with Calesburg and Monmouth for the Tri-School Festival. Over 230 students were in the combined program. The band finished its busy season by playing at the commencement and we are sorry to lose our fine senior members but we hope they will continue their musical activities in later life.

Pictured below are the high stepping twirlers of the Kewanee High School band.

CONCERT ORCHESTRA Under the fine direction of Mrs. Carolyn Bert, the Kewanee School's Concert Orchestra accomplished many tasks. For their first public appearance the Concert Orchestra played before the Band and Orchestra Parents Association. In November four members of the orchestra went to Champaign to participate in the All-State Orchestra, which is considered to be the best orchestral group in Illinois. Together with the K.H.S. Choir the orchestra was next seen at our Christmas assembly. This was considered the finest Christmas assembly our high school has had for many years. In the Mid-Winter Concert the group next ap-

peared. Late in March this excellent organization, with the participation of eight other orchestras, traveled to Calesburg to participate in the annual Mississippi Valley Orchestra Festival. Dr. Joseph Maddy, president and founder of the National Music Camp, was the guest conductor. Many of the high school students are given the opportunity to play with the Kewanee Civic Orchestra, which presents three concerts a year. This talented group is also under the direction of Mrs. Carolyn Bert. At the beginning of the school year the orchestra chose John Ast as president, Judy Varney as vicepresident, and Carol Fleming as secretary-treasurer.



" C r a n d a d d y " of the string instruments is the string bass, which is the foundation of all good orchestras. K.H.S. is fortunate to have four bass players, Carol Fleming, Karen Zablackis, Janice Johnson and Kay Pitts, which is unusual for a school of our size.

. . .

Looking back over the sports of 1904, we find the students of K.H.S. just as sports-minded as they are today. Girls' sports activities were even more prominent than now, for they played competitive basketball with other schools, and with boys' rules, too! Galesburg, Moline, and Rock Island were, and still are, among the top opponents of the K.H.S. cagers and gridders. Looking through the sports of that time, we miss baseball, now one of the most popular sports. THE

SPORTS

Among the sports of 1954, we see football, basketball, baseball, golf, track, and cross country. These are widely participated in by the students of K.H.S. Ever since 1904 the students have done their best to uphold the traditions and honor of our school. Throughout the years Kewanee High has turned out athletes whose fighting spirit cannot be surpassed. 57

VARSITY SQUAD Under the watchful eyes of Coach H. F. Brockman and his able assistants, Mr. Lazar and Mr. Scott, and behind the supsnor leadership of cocaptains Mondo Lopez and Jerry Warner, our fighting Boilermakers made a fine showing on the gridiron this year. After losing to Canton 13 to 7, because of jitters and a driving rain-storm, our Boilers took on East Moline and handed them a 1 3 to 12 defeat. Bouncing back from three successive losses at the hands of Moline, 24 to 0, Champaign, 41 to 14, and Rock Island, 41 to 12, the Boilermakers ripped Galesburg 32 to 7. Brilliant play by the entire squad and

Jerry Warner's interception of a pass at the end of the first half that resulted in a T.D. highlighted the play. Homecoming brought a heartbreaker to the K.H.S. fans when East Peoria snatched a 7 to 6 victory from the hands of the hard hitting Boilers. The end of the season brought the game which all the Kewanee fans looked forward to. The rivalry between Princeton and Kewanee is the oldest in the state, and feelings always run high when the two meet on the gridiron. A pass interception by Jerry Nell ruined Princeton's hopes for a tie or win as Kewanee took the game to the tune of 13 to 7 to end a very successful season.

RIVETER SQUAD A great amount ot experience was gained by the Riveter football players this year. Their fighting spirit shows that in the future they will make great Boilermakers. With Mr. Farris to guide them, the Riveter players did their best to uphold the traditions of gridiron competition. Although the Riveter team had trouble crossing the goal line throughout the season, they never gave up trying. They entered the season by taking on Ceneseo in the traditional opening gams. Geneseo was victorious by ending the game at 18 to 0. The Riveters then entered their North-

west Conference play with a defeat handed them by East Moline. Their third game came to a sad end as Moline triumphed to the tune of 21 to 0. The Riveters next met defeat at the hands of Rock Island by a score of 35 to 0. Calesburg won ever them in a heart-breaker by 6 to 0. Canton was next on their schedule and took the Riveters in a close game by a score of 13 to 2. Woodruff gave the Riveters a rough time and finally ended the game victorious with a score of 46 to 6. Even though their opponents triumphed, the Riveters showed great potentiality.

MANAGERS The games of the year would have been a lot rougher had it not been for the assistance of the managers, Gary LaRue, Roy Parker, Ronny Johnson, Ronny Rostyne, and Bob Clark. Along with giving the team their personal support, these boys took care of the needs of the players very ably.

HIGHLIGHTS K.H.S. fans will long remember the thrill that was theirs when the fighting Boilermakers came from behind to beat East Moline in the last half of their encounter. The East Moline game was the first appearance of the Kewanee eleven before a home crowd. The 'sleeper" play, pulled successfully by the K.H.S. squads many times in recent years, showed its effectiveness in the tangle between Kewanee and Rock Island. Jerry Warner tallied with it, but the attempt was to no avail. Although the K.H.S. gridders lost, they had the distinction of scoring more points on the hard hitting Rocks than any of their other opponents up to that time. Remember the game winning interception by Jerry Nell that stopped the final period drive of the Princeton Tigers? Win or lose, the 1953-54 Boilers made rs fine a showing as any other team ever to practice and play on the Kewanee gridiron.

VARSITY The 1953-'54 edition of the Kewanee High Boilermakers played, as they do every year, some of the toughest teams in the state. Behind the excellent leadership of co-captains Paul Pirtle and Jack Annett, they took on their opponents as they appeared and gave each a rough fight. For their opening game, the Boilers met the Princeton Tigers, who were later to see action as a member of the "Sweet Sixteen", and lost 69 to 50. East Peoria invaded the Kewanee gym for the Boilers' first home game and promptly met defeat by a score of 65 to 60. The Boilermakers fell before Pekin, however, 45 to 39 before trouncing Rock Falls 72 to 55. In their next game, East Moline defeated our Boilers 72 to 59. The K.H.S. five then were defeated by Woodruff 64 to 50. The Ceneseo Tourney saw the Boilermakers Information off the floor

BASKETBALL lose out to Dixon 59 to 53 in the first game; but they turned around and whipped Cambridge 76 to 49. At the Sterling Tourney, the Boilers, although defeated by Ottawa, 79 to 51, won two overtime games. The first victim was Freeport by a score of 73 to 63 and the second was La Salle, 70 to 68. Burlington was the next to meet defeat at the hands of the Boilermakers by a score of 65 to 56. After losing to Monmouth, 83 to 60, Canton, 50 to 38, Rock Island, 55 to 51, they continued on a losing streak by dropping games to Moline, 69 to 56, Clinton, 66 to 62, East Moline, 77 to 53, Calesburg, 55 to 49, and Monmouth, again 64 to 70. Rock Island won over the Boilers, 86 to 47, as did Canton, 54 to 45, and Moline beat them by a score of 74 to 48 to finish the regular season.

Coach Brockman and his assistant coach, Mr. Lazar, did a fine job with our Boilers this season. Their patience and encouragement meant a lot to the boys all through their games. The team received a great amount of support from their managers, Ronnie Johnson, Gary LaRue, Bob Clark, Cregory Arch, and Roy Parker. The 1954 co-captains, Jack A n n e t t and Paul Pirtle, did a commendable job in handling their task. Although the season was not the best this school has seen, it was one that provided a lot of thrills for the Kewanee fans.

TOURNAMENT SQUAD The sixteenth regional trophy hangs in our hall as a result of fine play by our 1954 tournament squad. Paired with Toulon for their first game, the Boilers showed that they were out to win by trouncing the Tro|ans 66 to 30. The second game of the night turned into an upset as Wethersfield handed Princeville a 49 to 44 defeat. On the next night of tourney play, Wyoming nipped Buda 86 to 61. That same night Bradford defeated Dunlap 56 to 36. Our Boilermakers were faced with a tough opponent on their next venture towards regional fame. Wethersfield's Flying Geese were nothing

to be sneezed at. The rivalry between the two schools placed greater tension on every shot. After a hard fought game, Kewanee was on the long end of a 58 to 45 score. Bradford suffered a defeat at the hands of Wyoming to the tune of 77 to 72. This upset by the fast moving Indians paired them with our Boilers in the final game to decide who should own the coveted trophy. The decision came in our favor after a lot of hard playing, with the final score 67 to 57. We are proud of our Boilermakers, who continued the tradition, by again w i n n i n g the Regional tourney.

TRACK John Spets and Jim Townsend were chosen as the co-captains of the 1954 track squad. With approximately twenty to twenty-five boys out for track, coach Sid Scott has a wide field from which to choose members he wants to take part in the various track activities. The long distance races are quite popular in this sport, and among these long distance contests are the mile and half mile runs. The 100, 220 and 440 yard dashes, besides the relays, make up the rest of the racing competi-

tion. The hurdles also play an important role in track. The pole vaulting and high jumping take the highlights of the meets, and the shotput, discus, and broad |ump round out the track activities. With many of these activities going on at the same time, it is hard for a spectator to keep track of all the competition. But even though the meets aren't attended in throngs, track provides a sport of keen competition, and will continue as a sport in K.H.S. for a long time to come.

CROSS COUNTRY Because it is the type of sport in which the spectators are few in number, cross-country never has a large following. Despite this fact, however, the boys who try out for this sport are eager to gain honors for our school, and by all means should not be overlooked. Congratulations to the unsung heroes of the track!

GOLF Golf seems to be coming a more popular sport in K.H.S. than in past years. Many boys tried out for the team this year, and the competitive spirit runs high within our linkmen. This is evident in that the boys are looking for more meets than have already been scheduled. Kneeling, left to right: E. Keller, J. Coleman, E. Kelly, Standing: S. Yastrow, Coach Weatherley, J.

BASEBALL When this book goes to press, baseball will be just getting underway. There are no records or scores available but one fact is evident; the boys who play the diamond will play their hearts out so that the reputation of Kewanee High will remain strong among the schools with which she competes in this sport. The will to win is as strong in these boys as it is in the hearts of the boys who take part in football and basketball. Like the participants of the other sports, the boys of the diamond play,

not for themselves, but for their school. Coach Fans has a fine array of baseball talent in the boys who decided to try their hand at this sport, and they will do their best to prove that fact. Seniors Jim Rouse, Bob Otis, and Dick McElhiney were elected to act as co-captains this year. Dave Brooks, Jack Robinson, and Bill Whittmeyer are other seniors who are playing their last season for K.H.S. Next year looks promising with nine juniors coming back.

OLD

. . .

In 1904 the halls of K.H.S. were not so crowded; in fact, the enrollment of students was only half of what it is today. The faculty was also smaller than in '54, and many teachers taught several subjects. The customary school clothes worn by the girls were starched, highnecked shirt-waists and long black skirts. They would chuckle at today's casual styles, the short hair and poodle cuts! The boys too, would be astonished at the sport shirts and jeans, as they attended school in high collars and suits.

SENIOR CLASS

will never forget the aromatic aroma of the incense coming from the Buddha shrine which helped to carry out the theme, "Oriental Gardens." Entering our senior year, it was our job to plan and sponsor the traditional "Freshman-Senior Reception." Going on from there, the seniors began to make plans for Homecoming. After a busy homecoming, all thoughts were turned toward the production of the class play, "Head In the Clouds." This play was the first of its kind to be presented. The lead, Julie Smith, played the part of a young teenager whose day-dreams were brought to life on the stage. Another project this year of the senior class was the production of the "Kewanite," the fiftieth year book to be published in our high school. Our senior class was led this year by Mondo Lopez, president, Jerry Richards, vice-president, Lois Kazmerski, secretary, and Jerry Nuding, treasurer, ably assisted by Miss Harriet McCarthy, class adviser

As we, the seniors, turn the pages of this year's Kewanite, we likewise turn in our minds the memories of our high school days. It seems impossible to realize that four years have slipped away since our entrance to Kewanee High School, September, 1950. The first social event of our freshman year which meant the most, was the Freshman-Senior Reception sponsored by the seniors. This was an opportunity to become acquainted with the faculty and the members of the senior class. Later on in the year, the ambitious class of "54" sponsored a very successful and unforgettable class party. As sophomores, adding to their well established reputation for being new and different, they established a new branch of the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y Club for sophomores. During the summer months while others were busy enjoying their vacations the juniors schemed to raise money to finance the farewell party for the seniors, the Junior-Senior Prom.

CLASS OF ' 5 4 AT WORK . . . .

STRUGGLING

....

Through the principle of the slide rule, which is being explained by their teacher, Miss McCarthy, these boys are preparing themselves for a higher education, that is, before entering the field of engineering. "Sin-f- Cos2 = 1 " " may seem like a jumble of letters and figures to the average student; but to the experienced " t r i g " student, it is just one of the many familiar trigonometric identities.

LISTENING

....

To Miss Johnson recite Chaucer in college English class "Whan that Aprille with the shoutre soote, the droughte of Marche . . . ." seemed impossible for us to learn, but after many nights of burning the midnight oil, we finally accomplished the dialect of the old English language. These long hours were not wasted, for it is only a helpful part of the preparation for college, in addition to our newly acquired knowledge of the poems of Shakespeare and our ability to write a research paper.

JUNIOR CLASS

Row ] : Ruben Ogburn, Sue McElwain, Jerry NeN.

Row 2: Miss Kimmell, Dave Ver Hagen.

The class of " 5 5 " was well represented in sports, which was proved by many outstanding athletes on the field and on the gym floor. Participating in the Homecoming activities this year they dramatized a clever skit read as a poem and showing scenes from a football game comparative to our own game. Their float, depicting the idea of a new school along with the hopes of a victory for Homecoming, showed their class spirit in cooperating with the campaign for a new school building. The Juniors feel that now, after a full year of social, athletic and scholastic achievements, they can follow in the footsteps of the graduating Seniors. Good luck next year1

Entering K.H.S. as upperclassmen, the class of " 5 5 " chose Ruben Ogburn to lead them, with David Ver Hagen as Vice President, Sue McEiwain as Secretary, and Jerry Nell as Treasurer, assisted by their class adviser, Miss Kimmell. Throughout the year the Juniors were busy earning funds for their biggest social event, the Junior-Senior Prom. The Regional Tournament provided a good opportunity for them to help fill the treasury and you could see them busily selling programs and checking coats. The girls did their share too, by holding a bake sale which also added considerably to their funds. Presenting their first class play, with Yolanda Unakis and Sara Hoskinson in the leads, the Juniors put on a light comedy "Our Hearts Were Young and Cay".

FRESHMAN CLASS

Seated: A. Brooks.

Standing, left to right: Mr. Colby, M. Terry, P. Fleming, B. Terry.

For their part in Homecoming they had a clever float centering a big brass pot with some East Peoria football players in it. The slogan was "Boilermakers Steam 'Em". Although it wasn t a prize winner it showed the class's desire to be a part of the Homecoming tradition. To fill their treasury, the class carefully planned a dance at the YMCA, with the cooperation of Mr. Hadcock, " Y " director. This Saturday night dance proved to be lots of fun since they decorated the gym and invited the whole school to their party. Now that their first year is past and a new freshman class will be taking their place in K.H.S. next year, the class of '57 is looking forward to three more successful years. We know that with all their eagerness and inititive, these years will be as rewarding as their first.

Being no greener than most freshman classes, the class of '57 soon began to get into the spirit of high school, after a struggle of getting to the right class in the proper room. Their first big job was to elect their officers for the coming important year of 1953-54. For these positions they elected Michael Terry as president, Patricia Fleming as vice-president, Ann Brooks as secretary, and Bill Terry as treasurer. Mr. James Colby served as their efficient advisor. In their "best bibs and tuckers", the freshmen were next noticed at their first big social event, the Freshman-Senior Reception, an annual party given by the seniors to welcome the new students. At this party the class showed their sociability and their willingness to get along with everyone. 16

MY

THANKS

I wish to take this space allotted to me, as Editor of the 1953-54 Kewanite, to thank certain people and companies. I am especially appreciative of the untiring efforts of the various staffs. Also I am indebted to Root and Warner Studios, Indianapolis Engraving and Wagoner Printing Companies, for their council and advice concerning the mechanics of the book. Thanks to the Becktold Company for putting the final touch on our Kewanite by covering it. am indeed grateful for the individual help of such people as Mr. Ralph Impens, Mr. John Roche, Mr. Casey Warner, Mr. Larry Wells, and Mr. Phil Lass. Thanks to you seniors who filled empty shoes so capably, just at the time you were most needed. Our final and most sincere thanks to Mrs. Smith for her untiring patience and beneficial advice.
