The Big Top
V V E of the 1948 Kewanite staff, because we have enjoyed so many of the
activities which Kewanee High School has offered us, wish to bring to you in our
book the highlights of this, our senior year. To some of you it may just be an
introduction to the school and its functions, but to others it is another step in
their high school career.
In deciding upon the Circus we did not mean that this represents what life
is meant to be in senior high, but that it would bring gaiety and color into the
lives of the students who read this production. After presenting our prom in
this fashion, we thought it fitting to continue with our yearbook on the same
theme.
Students, this is our last contribution to you and our alma mater. We do
hope that in later years it will bring back many pleasant memories of our school
and the "Circus."

SENIORS BID FAREWELL TO KEWANEE HIGH
In their last year at old K.H.S. the Senior class chose Wayne Sullivan as president, Eldon Gleason as vice-president, Frances Ptasnik as secretary, and Sally Spiegel as treasurer. Miss Harriet McCarthy again acted as our very worthy advisor. The Freshman-Senior Reception was first on the
schedule. It really started things off right for the "green freshies." Next came the presentation of
"Skidding," an Andy Hardy production, starring Dale Kassell and Lois Gord, and finally this
"colossal" Kewanite, edited by Barbara Flostrom and Dorothy Furnald.
In our junior year, John Pruitt, Paul Rodak, Jean Smith, and Lois Gord acted as officers. The
Prom, using a circus as its theme, was unique and a wonderful affair. The Seniors express their
gratitude to Mr. R. C. Lippens who donated his services to make it so perfect. The class play, "Seven
Sisters," was the other big project of the year. It played for two nights before a full house and was
a great success.
Don Emigholz and Dick Williams were the presidents of our first two years. As sophomores, we
set the highest scholastic record in school, and in our first year we were the usual green freshies.
Jack Gleeson, Warren Arter, George Fuller, and Richard Warden represented the class in football ; Wendell Shaw, John Pruitt, Fred Heinrich, Jerry Pippens and Wayne Currier in basketball;
George Miller, Wayne Sullivan, and John Hartman in track; and Mary Ann Roginski was outstanding as a cheerleader. All in all, our high school days were a great success, and we are proud to say
that we are the Senior class of 1948.

THEY PREPARE TO TAKE OVER
Nick Bernitt as president, Lynn Nelson as vice-president, Lorraine Edwards
as secretary, and Betty Pellan as treasurer acted as officers of the junior class
this year. Their class play, "Foot-Loose," which co-starred Janet Swain and
Lynn Nelson, turned out to be a huge success. The high light of the year was
the Junior-Senior prom with music by Finis Turner and his orchestra.
During their sophomore year Vince Shepeid was president, assisted by
Jerry Shinkevich, Joan Grothe, and Nick Bernitt. The class party, held in the
girl's gym, was the main social event of that year. George Himes acted as president during their freshmen year,
Merwyn Dergins was very active in football while Loring Keach and Vince
Sheperd were outstanding in basketball. Jane Kelly, Lorraine Edwards, Carol
Dickson, and Maryann Boling led cheers from the sidelines.
The junior class have rjroven themselves good workers, and with a little
initiative, they will be able to take over the responsibilities of seniors. We wish
them good luck in their senior year.

SOPHOMORES PREPARE FOR THE YEARS AHEAD
The class of "50" elected Fred Goffrier as their president. Donovan Redin
was chosen vice-president, and Joan Robinson, secretary-treasurer. Miss Margarite Dunnell acted as their adviser.
In their Freshman year the officers were Bill Coffey, Tony Lazar, Stella
Vuyokovich, and Wilina Fulton, with Miss Ruth Knapp as adviser.
The Freshman-Senior Reception was the high light of their first year. It was
a big success and a grand beginning on their years in K.H.S. This year the class
party was the main social event.
The class has many members out for sports and it looks as if some of the
future athletes will be Don Schubulis, Tim Terry, Jerry Palmer, Dick Despain,
Nick Caras, Lloyd Renfro, and Tony Lopez. Donna Swanson, Jackie Wilamoski,
and Joan Robinson represented their class as cheerleaders.
The class has been very cooperative in all their undertakings. Many are
quite talented and have been glad to help out with assemblies. Dick Thompson,
Edward Van Waes, George Elliott, and Joan Lamb are a few of the talented
members of the sophomore class.

Freshman
• • • Swing Into Line
First Row—Mrs. Gail Davison, adviser; Claraedda Johnson, Betty Zang.
Second Rozv—Mickey Knepp, Robert Pruit.
GREEN FRESHIES GET THEIR START
At their first class meeting the freshmen elected Mickey Knepp, as president.
Helping him were Bob Pruitt, Betty Zang, and Claredda Johnson. Mrs. Gail
Davidson acted as their adviser.
The first big event of their freshman lives was the Freshman-Senior Reception, a little late, but still a great success. A large number of both classes
attended and really enjoyed themselves.
The freshman party was also a gay affair from what we could see of the
decorations. Elaborate is the word for them.
Some of the boys were very active in sports. They show great prospects for
a good varsity squad.
There are quite a number of talented students in this class, too. Some are
as yet undiscovered, but a few of those known are Joyce Wetzel, Josephine Engel,
Marie Nelson, Roy Schuenaman, and Don Uptegrove.

Kevvanee's Boilermakers went through a very hard
schedule this year.
Coach Brockman and Co-Captains Warren Arter and
Jack Gleeson started with an inexperienced group of gridders and formed a hard-fighting Boilermaker team. Although the team did not show high in points at the end of
the season, they earned a name for good sportsmanship and
fair play. The general field work of Jack Gleeson, hard
driving of Merwyn Dergins, end-scampers and twisting
of Richard Warden and Vince Shepherd made up the backfield. Tom Swett, Don Emigholz, Ray Behnke, George
Fuller, Warren Arter, Harvey Eby, and Fred Heinrich
made up the line. Jack Van Dieren, Harold Streicher,
Jerry Palmer and Tony I,azar all saw action.
The Kewanee Boilermakers opened up the season by
meeting Pekin. From the time the opening whistle blew till
the gun sounded the end of the ball game, it was a see-saw
battle. At the final gun the score of 0 to 0 revealed two
evenly matched teams.
On the night of Sept. 19, the Kewanee Boilermakers
again took to the gridiron against an evenly-matched Hilltopper team from East Moline. The final score was the same
as Pekin, 0 to 0 tie.
Kewanee went into the Moline game with the record of
twenty games without a defeat. With the running attack

of Kewanee weakened by the absence of a backfield man,
we took to the air. Still Kewanee was dropped by a tough
Moline Maroon eleven IS to 0.
After the setback from Moline, Kewanee went to
Peoria to play the Manuel Rams with the will to win.
Manuel produced an experienced team that was at their
peak. ]n the final period Merwyn Dergins plowed over
for the first touchdown of the season. Gleason's conversion
was good. The final score showed Manual 13, Kewanee 7.
Kewanee appeared to be the best team on the gridiron
in the battle against Rock Island. Although the score reveals a defeat in points, Kewanee received a moral victory
on the ground work. It was just three long passes that
were completed that marred a totally successful evening for
the Kewanee spectators. The final score was Rock Island
21, Kewanee 0.
Galesburg fought Kewanee to a 6 to 6 tie in Kewanee's
fourth Northwest Conference tilt. The Boilermaker's score
came late in the first half when Harold Streicher grabbed
a pass from Gleeson on the 46 and ran all the way to score.
Then came the well awaited homecoming. The students
started their celebration early and had a successful day.
At the big game at night, Kewanee started out with a bang.
Kewanee started a march when Warden skirted the end
and scored from the 40 yard line.

Then Dergins intercepted a pass
and scored from the SO. Again in the
second period Warden broke loose for
a 47 yard touchdown. In the second
half East Peoria's line stiffened until
late in the last period when Warden
again broke loose for a 25 yard jaunt
and scored. Gleeson's kick was successful after each touchdown for a
perfect record. By means of a safety
the score reached the final Kewanee
30, E. Peoria 0.
D. Godke, L. Heideman, E. Gleeson
The Boilermakers took a trip north
to Belvidere to pla3' a determined
team. The long touchdown jaunt of
56 yards by Shepherd highlighted the
game. After a fierce fight, Belvidere
came out on top 19 to 13.
The Boilermakers continued a 46
year rivalry with Princeton. The
Tigers started with an all around
offense and took Kewanee by surprise and scored. From then on it
was a see-saw battle with neither
team being successful. The final
score was 7 to 0 and the Boilermakers found it a hard-fought
season.

The Kewanee Riveter football team
started out a tough schedule by having
a practice game against the varsity B
team. The Riveter team was outweighed
in all their games except Bradford. Although the Riveters were outweighed,
they all played a very good brand of
ball that shows evidence of a promising
team for Kewanee High in the future.
The Riveters were also congratulated
by their opponents for their sportsmanship on the gridiron.
The squad was made up of twentyseven boys with such outstanding sophomores as Tony Lopez, Dennis Kopp,
Dick Karpowicz, and Dixon Smith, and
freshmen Bill Jenkins, Ralph Jenson,
and Ray Heinrich. The team also exhibited some good plays, such as a 40
yard pass from Lopez completed by
Karpowicz in the Moline game. Also,
in the East Moline game, Lopez called
the punt formation pass on the fourth
down that was good for 25 yards. On
the whole, the team gained the needed
experience for the varsity teams to come.

VARSITY BASKETBALL CAGERS
Mr. Galen Landis, Mr. John Denning.
The Kewanee Boilermakers
went through a long, h a r d
basketball season. The team
started the season with three
victories over Galva, Princeton
and East Peoria, all on the home
court. Kewanee then went south
to Pekin and met a highly rated
"Chink" team which set them
back in defeat. The team was
also defeated in the next three
encounters ^against Rock Island,
Moline and Peoria Woodruff
but got back into harness in defeating Wells of Chicago.
The Kewanee Boilermakers
again participated in the Centralia Holiday Tournament but
were were not quite as successful as last year. Quincy pulled
an upset and the team went down
to defeat under a strong Centralia outfit. Back again on the
home court the Boilermakers
defeated Peoria Manual and
East Moline rather easily. In

RIVETER AND FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAMS
ermakers put up a strong battle
but were overcome in the last
minutes. Kewanee dropped another Northwest Conference foe,
Monmouth, and ventured to
Clinton, Towa and met a veteran
team that eked out a 43 to 40
victory. Again on foreign woods
the Kewanee lads came back
strong in the second half to
dump the Rocks of Rock Island
by one point.
It was an easy victory over
our Southsiders and, in the same
week, our boys pulled the surprise upset of the year. We were
hitting from every place on the
court to upset Moline, the conference winners, 60 to 40. Kewanee also downed the next two
Northwest teams, East Moline
and Galesburg, but lost to Canton. With the loss of Shaw from
the lineup the team was not set
to tangle with Monmouth. The
team fell to a bitter defeat, thus
ending the season.

KEWANEE MAKES THE TOURNAMENTS
In the Regional Tournament,
held at Kewanee, the Boilermakers
set their pace by overpowering
Toulon 60 to 31. The second foe
was Atkinson, which Kewanee
overpowered 51 to 29. In the final
game the Gala Wildcats were defeated by the Boilermakers in a
thrilling game. A last minute free
throw made the final score 38 to
37 for Kewanee. Now winners of
the Regional, Kewanee moved on
to stiffer competition in the sectional.
With Loring Keach and John
Pruitt leading the scorers, Kewanee
defeated Aledo, their first foe in
the Sectional Tournament at Moline. They won 44 to 34 in this
game but they dropped the next
game 65 to 38 to Moline. Thus being the winner of the 1948 Sectional, Moline now traveled to the
State Tournament at Champaign
to represent the Northwest Conference.

A lot of the credit for the moral of any
team depends upon the cheerleaders. These
good-looking girls did a good job of leading
fans and rooters during pep assemblies and
at games. The varsity cheerleaders this year
are Mary Ann Roginski, Carol Dickson,
Jane Kelly, Mary Ann Boling, and Lorraine Edwards. Man' Ann Roginski was
the only varsity cheerleader continuing
from last year's varsity squad, as Jayne
Mills retired because of her voice. This
group of girls was classed among the outstanding cheerleaders in this section The
underclassmen were represented by Jackie

LEADERS IN MINOR SPORTS
Coach H. F. Brockman guided Kewanee's cinder
track men through another busy season. The team is
made up of Yince Shepherd, Lynn Nelson, George
Miller, Richard Warden, John Hartman, and John
Pruitt. Again this year Kewanee was the host of the
annual Kewanee Relays. Besides this, the team took
part in Geneso Relays, Davenport Relays, the District
Relays, and several dual meets. Again this year the
Kewanee track team was host in the Kewanee Relays
and we were represented in the State tournament in
various fields.
Coach Galen Landis, had the job of rebuilding the
baseball team around the few returning lettermen from
last year. Those returning were John Nosal, Fred
Heinrich, Jerry Schinkevich, Leo Saey, Paul Rodak,
and Nick Bernitt.
The season opened with a battle against Princeville
and continued on through a schedule of about twenty
games including games with teams competing in the
Northwest and Illinois Conferences. Our teams were the
defending champions of the Northwest Conference from
last year. The District tournament was held in Kewanee this year and the State finals in Peoria.

GOLF, CROSS COUNTRY, AND WRESTLING TEAMS
Our cross country team, coached by Mr. Earl
Faris, put in many hours of hard work preparing
for their successful competition in many races. The
boys who ran the long, tiresome courses for
Kewanee High were Wayne Sullivan, Don Althouse, Ray Franklyri, Bob Goard, Jim Cathelyn and
L,eandro Dominguez.
Coach Vern Mainline took a bunch of scrappy,
boys through a very successful season of tough
wrestling. Some of the outstanding wrestlers were
Francis Faber, Don Carroll, Harold Streicher, Ray
Behnke, George Fuller, Don Hulslander, Earl
Strum, and Eurt Eltzroth. The team met such outstanding contending schools as Rock Island, Moline,
and Peoria Manuel. Since wrestling is a comparatively new sport at Kewanee High, it is hoped that
stronger teams can be worked up in the future.
Mr. Earl Faris, coach of Kewanee High School's
golf team was very fortunate in having three veterans this year. Jim Terry, Don Schrubulis, and Les
Ripka. The team was engaged in live dual meets
and were defending champions in both the Northwest and Illini conferences. The team also took part
in the District meet here in Kewanee. Members of
the team were Jim Terry, Don Schrubulis, Les
Ripka, Don Pilarski, and Hob DePauw. Ralph Jensen and Art Fuller were two freshmen getting
needed experience for the future teams.

THE TRI-HI-Y CLUB
After a strenuous informal initiation and an
impressive formal initiation, the Tri-Hi-Y club began an active year of activities. Lois Dickson was
elected president with Dorothy Furnald, vicepresident, Donna L,ou Thompson, secretary and
Harriet Harper, as treasurer to help her. A new
officer was added to Tri-Hi-Y this year, a sergeantat-arms who was Carol Dickson. Thirty-five new
members were initiated into the club.
With a colonial theme as the atmosphere, the
winter formal was as lovely as ever. It was held in
the Irving gym on February 7th. Lois Dickson, TriY president,
and Dick Williams, Hi-Y president,
and thei.- dates led the grand march. The Tri-Y
co-sponsored this social event with the Hi-Y.
Approximately three hundred dollars was made
to help defray expenses of the planned Eastern trip1
for Tri-Y and Hi-Y boys and girls at the carnival
put on with the Hi-Y Club. Besides the dancing and
booths, girls from the Tri-Y Club, dressed in
formals sold man)- beautiful roses. The boys built
the booths and helped the girls run them. The
carnival was attended by people from the-whole
town.
First Row—H. Harper, D. Furnald, I). Thompson, L. Dickson.
Second R<n—Miss Charlet, Miss Berg, Miss Olson.
The club enjoyed several parties throughout the
year. They were hostesses to the Hi-Y at a Halloween party where everyone came in costume.
They had a Christmas party where each member
brought a silly present. These were given out by a
Santa Claus. At another Christinas party, they were
guests of the Hi-Y. Some of the girls became especially interested in some needy children and sent
them clothes and toys besides the basket.
The faculty tea for members of the faculty and
their wives and husbands marked another social
event for Tri-Y Club this year.
Page Eighty-four
THE Hl-Y CLUB
With the excitement and thrill of the initiations
over, the Hi-Y club worked hard to accomplish its
many activities for funds to send students on an
Eastern trip in the spring. The officers were: Dick
Williams, president, Warren Arter, vice-president,
George Himes, secretary, and Burt Eltzroth, treasurer.
First Row—G. Himes, D. Williams, W. Arter

The carnival held on November 15 was the highlight of the activities this year. It was held at the
"Y" building and attracted the whole town. Ann
Jenkins and Don Scrubulis were crowned queen
and king as a climax to the evening. There was a
taxi dance, and many booths for rifle shooting,
fortune tejling, pitching pennies, a harem jam session, and many others. Homemade candy was
donated for a candy booth and pop and popcorn
were sold. Girls sold about 300 beautiful roses.
About 700 people attended the carnival, and with
the co-operation of the merchants and townspeople
it was a great success.
The annual Hi-Y formal at Irving gym on Feb.
7, was the social event of the year. Johnnie Kaye's
orchestra furnished the music for more than eighty
couples.
The Hi-Y sent delegates to several conferences
during the year. Their meetings were made interesting with lectures, music and group singing,
movies, parties with Tri-Y, and panel discussions
held with Tri-Y on "Boy and Girl" relationships.
The Christmas part)- was held with the Tri-Y with
a gift exchange. The Hi-Y boys enjoyed parties at
Halloween and a Leap year party with the Tri-Y.

THE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
In a candlelight ceremony in the girls' gym, about
thirty-two girls were initiated into G.A.A. This was
the first year that G.A.A. has had such an initiation.
With a new adviser, Miss Valda McCannon, these
sportsminded girls had an active year in sports. They
spent each Tuesday and Thursday night after school
in the gym. To earn their points, the girls played
basketball, softball, volleyball, ping pong, shuffle board
and did some square dancing. Their activities included
a skating party, Christmas party, potluck supper, playdays at Princeton and Ga.lva, the annual Carnival held
on April 3, and a bake sale held for the public at
Christmas time. The club's officers this year were:
Frances Ptasnik, president; Betty Lou Elliott, vicepresident; Marie Intzgerald, secretary and treasurer;

After an informal initiation at a wiener roast at Windmont Park, the Spanish Club began another year of trying to become more acquainted with the Spanish language
and customs.
As a project this year, the .Spanish Club assisted students studying in France. These students were driven out
of Spain by the French government. Spanish teachers
in various colleges wrote letters to all the high school
Spanish Clubs asking for a donation for these students.
The Club also purchased a new collection of Spanish
records for use in the Spanish classes and at the club
meetings. They also furnished the social room with new
card tables.
The pop booth at the football games was sponsored by
this club. The bi-monthly meetings were spent in listening
to their new records, learning various Spanish folk
dances, and studying Spanish composers.

The main activity of the Palette and Brush Club this
year was the adoption of two small Austrian boys. They
sent food, clothing, and toys to these boys, who have been
orphaned and are now living with their uncle in Baden
bei Wien (Baden near Vienna). Boxes were sent at
Christmas and twice a month for the rest of the year.
To finance this project the club sold homemade candy
at the Kiwanis programs.
Since the purpose of Palette and Brush is the study
and appreciation of art, the meetings, held every two
weeks, were based on this subject. Soap-carving, movies,
lectures, and demonstrations on plastics, watercolors,
pastels, and other phases of art were presented. Mrs.
K. W. Ringland, of Quincy, Illinois, gave an interesting
watercolor demonstration to the group, and Mr. Lewis
Leitze, member of the faculty of Central Junior High,
gave a talk and demonstration on plastics.

members of the Red Cross organization for high school
students, which works in co-operation with the National
Association of the Red Cross. This year the drive was most
successful with all rooms receiving a high percentage of
enrollments. The Red Cross Council is composed of students
selected from the various clubs. The Junior Red Cross has
full co-operation from the other clubs who help them pack
boxes for shipment overseas. The Red Cross Council packed
many boxes during the year and sponsored an assembly
opening their drive. Each year the council also makes a
contribution to the Children's Fund and sends Christmas
gifts of toys and clothing to childrens' orphanages.

page editors were Barbara Anson and Don Emigholz for
page one, Lois Gord and Jayne Mills on page two, Lois
Dickson and Martha Conner on the third page, and Warren
Arter and Dick Williams on page four. Jim Beckman served
as business manager with Sally Spiegel as advertising
manager.

CHOIR AND GIRLS1 ADVANCED CHORUS
The Choir is the most advanced group in the vocal department. Membership is determined by means of tryouts given by
the director. The ability to read music, a voice which blends
reasonably well, and a genuine interest in good music are some
of the requirements. Major and Minor letters are awarded to
those meeting the requirements. Christmas music, a Spring Concert, and Commencement Music are the highlights of its many
appearances.
The advanced Girls' Glee Club is limited to upper classmen
and gives continued training in group singing leading to membership in the Choir. The group has made several appearances
during the year, and will combine with the Freshman Club in the
Spring Concert.

BOYS1 AND FRESHMAN GIRLS1 GLEE CLUBS
The Boys' Glee Club, consisting of 36 members, is open to
all classes in High School. As in the other singing groups, the
principal aim is the enjoyment of singing and of performing good
music well. The music ranges from popular, through standard
boys glee club music, to light classic. The club aims to make
several appearances with the Spring Concert as the climax.
The Freshmen Girls' Glee Club, open to Freshmen girls, as
the name indicates, has always been a popular group in school.
Training in the Fundamentals of group singing, tone production,

divided into eight teams wtih four members on
each team. Besides their regular league day which
is every Monday at De Clerk's recreation, the
club also held it's annual banquet at the end of
the season. A social party at which each member
brought a guest was also part of the outside activities of the club. Members showed talent and
enthusiasm in this popular sport, and many high
scores were made by these active bowlers. George

THE GIRL SCOUTS DO GOOD DEEDS
The overall aims of Senior
Scouting are recreation, vocational exploration and service to
others. Recreation of Troop 4
consists of nature walks, hikes,
bicycling, theater parties, slumber parties and camping.
A great variety of vocations
and professions are investigated
during the year. The girls assist
scout leaders by teaching younger scout songs and games. A
beautiful program was prepared
and presented for several groups.
Their willingness to serve their
community has been recognized
by various groups, such as
American Red Cross, Business
and Professional Women, and
Veterans, and they have many
requests for assistance. One of
their most interesting projects
was the assembling of wardrobes
consisting of ten garments for
needy girls of their ages in foreign countries.
This year's scouting group
was made up of juniors. Their
officers were : President, Barbara
Rodgers; Vice-President, Betty
Harper ; Secretary, Ruth Lamer :

THEY LIVE CLOSE TO NATURE
After electing Janet Swain as president, Barbara Rogers as vice-president, Anita Johnson as
secretary, and Jerry Samuelson as treasurer, the
Nature Club started off another year of interesting and educational activities.
A new project taken up by the club this year
was nature photography. The members brought
in their pictures each week, and every month the
best were selected and enlarged. The best of the
year was chosen from this last group.
About 19 new members were added to the
club this year after they had met the entrance
requirements of writing up the animal and plant
life seen on one expedition in the woods and one
in the open country.
Another major project was the sending of
clothing to a Kentucky mountain family for
their seven children for which the club received
evergreens, which they sold.
Decorating the tree in the social room, and
selling Oregon holly at Christmas time were
other activities of the club. The club also enjoyed seeing colored slides of the West taken
Page Ninety-nine

Nature Club had one of the most interesting
floats, on which they depicted the "Stars of Old

SUCCESSFUL DEBATERS
The debate team presented a very interesting
program to the students this year. They gave a
formal debate on the topic, "Resolved that the
Federal Government Should Require Arbitration
of Labor Disputes in all American Industries."
Although the topic was a difficult one, the debate
proved to be exciting, especially to those students
who had never heard a formal debate.
The affirmative team was Lois Gord and
Sally Spiegel. Marilyn Lewis and Frank Janes
made up the negative, with Merrill Gillespie and
Lynn Nelson as alternatives. These debators have
taken highest honors at Geneseo, Normal of
Bloomington, and Augustana at Rock Island.

school girls, the Girls Federation Council carried on many
activities this year. About seventeen new members were added
from all four classes. The officers were Jayne Mills, president;
Lois Gord, secretary; and Barbara Flostrom, treasurer.
Twenty-one girls from the council served as hostesses at
the Library Conference held at Kewanee High this year.
The club was also hostess for an afterschool social hour of
dancing to records. Honoring the Varsity football team, the
Girls Federation sponsored a football victory dance on November 22, in the Irving gym. During the intermission, cokes
were served preceeding a program on which Coach Brockman introduced the team.
The council gave the annual Big-Little Sister party on
May 20. These parties were held to help the freshmen girls
become acquainted around the school. Each freshman girl
received a "Big Sister" who contacted her and helped her
find new classrooms and answer any questions. Every prospective freshmen girl looks forward to this party before she
leaves junior high.
Each holiday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, and
Easter, found the Girls Federation making tray favors for
the local hospital. Red Cross boxes were packed, and the
annual afgan was made along with other welfare work, both
in and out of school.

HOMECOMING—A BRIGHT SPOT IN THE YEAR
Mary Ann Roginski, as queen, reigned over
the 1947-48 homecoming week end with Paul
Rodak, as king. This is the first year that the
king has been a part of the royal court. The
queens attendants were: senior, Joan Bradley,
junior, Joan Corwin, sophomore, Mary Ann
Kubinski, and Claredda Johnson, freshman. Lois
Dickson, president of Tri-Y presented the queen
with a dozen red roses. The king and queen expressed their gratitude to students who were rep-
resented by Ray Van Wassenhove who presided
over the crowning" ceremonies. After the queen
and king were crowned by co-captains Jack
Gleason and Warren Arter, Kewanee won their
only game of the season, making the event of
dual importance. There was a big parade on
Friday afternoon with all the clubs and classes
contributing clever floats. The dance on Saturday
night, at which the kind and queen reigned,
closed the gala homecoming week end.

THE CARNIVAL—FUN FOR EVERYONE
The "Y" gym was transformed into a gala
carnival midway, .Saturday night, November 15.
The people of Kewanee really came all out for
the affair, for over seven hundred people enjoyed a completely new type of entertainment
from that which they have ever known the high
school students to put on. Every kind of booth
imaginable could be found at this gay carnival.
Some of them included were: dart games, penny
pitching, basketball throwing, rifle shooting,
fortune telling, and dancing. The dance was a
taxi affair, and hundreds of prizes, donated by
the merchants of Kewanee, were given away at
the end of each set of dances.
The king and queen for the affair were elected
by the "penny a vote" system, and still everyone voted a dozen times or more. Don Scrubulis
and Ann Jenkins were selected from other
contestants to reign as the rulers of the dance.
Their royal court included: Helen Gorham, Bob
Goard, Joan Bradley, Dennis Kopp, Don Bullock, and Pat Marsh.

of glorious music and smooth dancing. They
danced from nine to twelve to Freddie Steven's
orchestra.
During intermission, vocals were given by
