The class of 1949 has undertaken the happy task of recording the events of this period for a posterity we hope is appreciative. We felt the delightful operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan would be an apt theme since these two gentlemen are not strangers to the students of Uni High. If you wish to renew your acquaintance with the handsome gondoliers, frightful Katishaw, and the dainty, little fairies, you have only to turn the page. Dedication We, the Seniors of 1949, in sincere appreciation of the guidance and encouragement she has given us through- out our high school career, gratefully dedicate this yearbook to Miss Colleen Kirk, whose wonderful spirit has endeared her to us all.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1949 Five years have passed since the now venerable class of '49 timidly entered University High School as lowly Sub-Freshmen. Dur- ing that beweildering period, we were ably guided by Mrs. Gribanovsky and our class officers: Larry Kettlekamp, Brice Harris, Thomas Cole, Mary Ruth Tate, and James Ayars. As Freshmen the next fall, we began to enter into the spirit of Uni High. We were fortunate in having as officers Diamando Tomaras, Frank Finch, Barbara Cohen, Terry Truitt, Jane Graham, and Brice Harris. Miss Irene Babicz and Mr. Robert Allen served as our advisers. Climbing to the rank of Sophomores, we contributed our talents to nearly all of the school activities. We sponsored the tranditional "Spring Fling" and presented a radio discussion over WILL. Bob Stafford, Carol Fulrath, Sally Davison, Herbert Keener, Terry Truitt, and Hamilton Smith were our leaders throughout this busy year. Mrs. Kraus and Mr. Frasure were a steadying and helpful influence. We entered the realms of the upperclassmen as "jaunty Juniors." We elected Art Stoddard, Thomasina Lowry, Barbara Cohen, Mary Ruth Tate, Margie Samuel, and Frank Finch as our class officers. Miss Changnon and Mr. Zupsich advised us in our activities, among which the Christmas Dance and the Junior-Senior Prom were prominent. At last the class of '49 soared blithely to the position of leadership in Uni High - we became seniors. Our capable officers are Frank Finch, Mary Ruth Tate, Thomasina Lowry, Douglas Chalmers, Mimi Loomis, and Art Stoddard. They, with the assistance of Miss Changnon and Mr. Hanson, have initiated and carried through various worthwhile ventures. We enjoyed the annual Skip Day to the proverbial hilt. This U and I is the culmination and record of the happy, active career of the class of '49 at Uni High. As we look hopefully toward new horizons, we leave Uni High not without regret.

President Eleanor Stoddard Vice President Secretary Treasurer Girls' Representative Boys' Representative Tom Lambert Jo Ann Wingard Harry Cattell Virginia Bennett Chuck Ross Although Mr. Stafford, junior boys' advisor, admitted his belief that the junior boys make all the noise and the girls do all the work, we cannot think this to be entirely true. It is hardly possible that the junior girls and their advisor, Miss Kirk, could have done alone the work necessary to put on the fine school parties they have given. On December 18, at the Union Building, the school Christmas party took place due to the efforts of the juniors. They initiated the Homecoming theme for the Christmas dance, and sent invitations to all alumni. Famous for their last-minute basketball hops, they put on two very successful ones, the Valentine Hop and the George Washington Hop. They plan a class picnic and an assembly in the spring, and are making all the plans for the highlight of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom.

SOPHOMORE CLASS "Poor wandering ones" President Lucy Goodell Vice President Bob Jones Secretary Treasurer Girls' Representative Boys' Representative Judy Hoggatt Tom Rogers Anne Carter John Clark The sophomores began their class "socializing" in the fall with a masquerade party in the attic. Here they competed for the best costumes, with prizes for the most spectacular ones. Later they gave a basketball hop for the school, at which time the gym was transformed, more or less, into an old-fashioned bar with card tables, a floor show, and refreshments, please note, of coke and ice cream. Another sophomore class party took place on March 4, in the attic, with games, dancing, and a floor show. The girls, with Miss Gill as advisor, sometimes have discussion groups in advisory period. Mr. Bradshaw is the boys' advisor. Together the sophomores will give the school May dance and also plan to celebrate by a class picnic on the afternoon that final exams are completed.

FRESHMAN CLASS "Perhaps you suppose this throng can't keep it up all day long 3 President Miriam Lamar Vice President John Finch Secretary Treasurer Girls' Representative Boys' Representative Becky Ayars Chuck Medrow Margot France Jim Hayes The freshmen are quite a busy and active group and seem to enjoy having many of their own parties. They do not lack ideas for them, either. In November they had a class party at school with games, dancing, floor show, and refreshments. On the night of the Minnesota basketball game they had a "listening" party, when they listened to the game on the radio, and after- wards, danced in the attic. Of course, they could not omit a Valentine's party, and later they had a Hay- seed party at which all were to appear in hill-billy costume. The freshman publication, the "Fifty-two Pick-up" was of interest to the whole school and helped to acquaint the rest of us with the freshman class. They plan to give the school April Fool party and a class picnic in May. Mrs. Cantrall and Mrs. Lindsey are the freshman advisors and assist them in their industrious efforts.

SUB-FRESHMAN CLASS "With loving and laughing and quipping and quaffing we're happy as happy can be." President Peter Stearns Vice President Secretary Treasurer Dick Pogue Judy Cleary Anne Colwell Student Council Representative Karlyn Kettelkamp Scrapbook Editor Nancy Working Though our sub-freshmen are the smallest, they can certainly equal or surpass the rest of Uni High in lively participation in many varied activities. Their contribution to the annual Carnival was a movie show, and they have been busy making up plays and constructing their own puppets for a parents' show or, perhaps, an assembly. A fun-loving group also, they have had several parties of their own. Among these are a Hallowe'en party, a scavenger hunt at school with refreshments made by the girls, and their first dancing party in the attic on February 11. An interest in sports is not lacking in this class either, and the sub-freshman basketball team has played the freshmen at Champaign Junior High and Willard School, ably supported by their own cheer-leaders. They have spent a day visiting the University Library, and plans have been made for a trip to New Salem or the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. We cannot blame Mrs. Gribanovsky, the sub-freshman advisor, for finding it difficult to keep up with such activity. The City Jungle Like a man made jungle The big city lies, A tentacled octopus With flash-green eyes. Like chiefs of the jungle The skyscrapers frown Over long rows of houses In monotonous brown. Sirens are howling A factory horn screams Airplanes droning overhead This --no place for dreams. Bustling people, buzzing voices Filling serpent-trains with din Clutching after fads and fashions These, the strangest animals in The City Jungle.

President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Advisor Art Stoddard Eleanor Stoddard Mimi Loomis Mary Ruth Tate Mr. John Hanson Perhaps the first and most effective result of Student Council planning to come about this year is the lounge, which has been enjoyed by many Uni High students. Through last spring and summer, much effort was put forth on the lounge, and during this year a committee set up by Student Council has been busy taking care of it. In September, the Student Council helped to start off the year properly with the Get Acquainted Party, and in October, the Uni High Carnival. The Finance and Publicity committees have been operating throughout the year, and the Safety committee has been working on the problem of making safer conditions in and around the school. Another accomplishment that is appreciated by the students is the Honor System. Twelve representatives from the school were sent to the Illinois Associa- tion of Student Councils Convention in March, and two of our members are officers of the district. The Student Council has cooperated throughout the year with the Tri High Council. G.A.A. COUNCIL "Comes a train of little ladies." The Girls' Athletic Association conducted many out-of- school activities including the Star Dance and the Mother- Daughter Tea. The girls also enjoyed all the intramural sports and activities which were sponsored by G.A.A. Mary Ruth Tate served ably as president of G.A.A. during the year.

The business of putting out the Just Us, our school newspaper, has been done by several hard working staff members, and many other contributors to it. Several interesting ideas in the Just Us this year were character sketches and drawings of the faculty, an interview by five students with Norman Thomas, a cover girl- -our Tri-High Queen, and interviews with Champaign students about their opinions of our art exhibition work. Long before the new evalua- tion system was announced to parents, the Just Us had explained it. Often readers have overlooked how new such news as this is, and have failed to appreciate how much effort has gone into the making of an issue. During the first eight issues of Just Us, thirty-seven different people took part in the work, and were given help in creative writing. Some of those who have written more than once for the Just Us are: Molly Flanagan, Betsy Yeatter, Gary Brown, Miriam Lamar, Cynthia Almy, Becky Ayars, Donna Samuel, Diana Hewitt, Shirley Marco, Peter Stearns, Margit Wallace, and Tod Oliver.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB "Everything is interesting; tell us, tell us all about it." Under the supervision of Mr. Bradshaw, the photography club has grown into an active and interesting organization. Meetings are held informally on Wednesday afternoons. At the beginning of the year, the dark room was com- pleted with help from the group. Much fine equipment has been purchased for the club's use - an enlarger, printer, camera, and lighting and develop- ing equipment. Members have had instruction and discussions on methods of printing, enlarging, developing, and in the composition of a good photo- graph. The club has given good opportunity for those interested in cameras to practice and learn more about photography. Top Row: Bill Sanford, Mr. Bradshaw, Jim Delaney, Mr. Seaman, Bill Davis.

During the first semester, under the leadership of Doris Neyendorf, Terrapin devoted much time to swimming skills and planning for the annual water ballet. Dorothy Swanson directed the activities of the group during the second semester. On April 7 and 8, the ballet was given for the public. Margie Samuel served as president for the year. ORCHESIS "Tripping hither, tripping thither." Under the leadership of Mrs. Meriam Rosen, Orchesis has accomplished much in dance technique, rhythm, and dance composition. During tne year, Orchesis boasted a membership of twenty-seven, and Barbara Cohen served as president. To climax the year's hard work, Orchesis presented their annual concert in Gregory Hall on May 27. This proved to be a huge success. Orchesis also had a large part in the P.T.A. Christmas program.

GIRLS' CHORUS "With soft serenading we sing them to sleep." Forty-eight members of the Girls' Chorus have met during the second period on Wednesdays and Fridays. This chorus presented a group of num- bers on the annual Christmas program. Members of the organization par- ticipated in the all-state high school chorus, in "The Pirates of Penzance", and in the Champaign County Music Festival. Helen Lambrakis was the accompanist for the Girls' Chorus. The officers for this year are: Ann Buckley, President; Jane Roos, Vice-President; Virginia Bennett, Secre- tary; and Jane Eliot, Treasurer.

MIXED CHORUS "Every sound becomes a song." The Mixed Chorus is composed of seventy members who meet on Mon- days and Tuesdays during the second period. The entire chorus participated in the annual Christmas program and in the Commencement program. Rep- resentatives of the group sang in the all- state high school chorus and in the Champaign County Music Festival. In conjunction with the Girls' Chorus, the Mixed Chorus presented the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, "The Pirates of Penzance". Accompanists for the chorus were Lois Ferdina and Lenny Howard.

ORCHESTRA "There's beauty in the bellow of the blast." Every second period, on Wednesday and Friday, the "bellow of the blast" can be heard from certain strategic parts of the building. And often there is beauty in it too, though the orchestra members have good naturedly taken much teasing about this matter. On Thursday noons the string instruments put in a little extra practice. The orchestra as a whole played in the Christmas program and will perhaps give a performance in an assembly or a program at Gregory Hall. Mr. Warren Schuetz is the director. The orchestra and Mr. Schuetz work hard together, but they enjoy it, too. MADRIGALS "Sing a merry madrigal." Patterning themselves after the old group singers, one of the most suc- cessful of our musical groups is Madrigals. Its ten members have met to practice at noon twice weekly. Usually they draw several student teachers to the observation room. The performance of the group reflects the super- ior training it has had, and it has become quite popular, performing for numerous organizations in town such as the University Women's Club and the alumni of Sigma Alpha Iota. The Madrigals have also sung for Tolono High School and for the Servicemens' Y in Rantoul. Costumes typical of 17th century nobility add much color to the group. Larry Kettelkamp con- ducts the performances. Standing: Larry Kettelkamp, Jim Bray, Bill Jareo, Frank Finch.

University High School started the athletic year with a football schedule of eight games. Our new coach, Dale Lacky, had five lettermen to start the season. Coach Lacky was hampered the entire season by a series of injur- ies that eventually hit all of his first six men. Things started out wrong when co-captain Art Stoddard was injured before a single game was played. How- ever, our other fine co- captain, Leland Warmoth, did an excellent job of carrying the load throughout the season. The Buckeyes were endowed with three wins, but bowed five times to opponents. As far as scoring goes, Uni High totaled 179 points on the grid in compari- son to the opponents' 263. Denny Tucker led in this department with 44 points. Maginn and Brown tied for second place with 24 points each. Stafford followed with 19 points. THE SEASON To start the season the Orange and Blue won a wide open game with Humbolt. Halfback Denny Tucker was instrumental in the victory, scoring three thouchdowns and two extra points. The Bucks gained a total of three hundred and seventy eight yards in comparison to the Tigers' one hundred seventy seven. University High entertained Longview in its first home game of the season. The game was nip and tuck all the way, with Longview scoring the points in the waning seconds of the game. Tucker scored both of the Buckeye's touchdowns. Tolono increased its victory streak to thirty three by winning a rough and tumble game that saw the Bucks behind only in the score. Popeye's passing and Doug's brilliant running highlighted the game for Uni High. Uni High lost more than a game when they journeyed to Longview. The Bucks were badly injured for the rest of the season when both Tom Lambert and Popeye Warmoth were taken to the hospital midway in the game. Gary Brown scored Uni High's only touchdown in a poorly played game against Mahomet. Popeye again was forced to leave the game because of the recurrence of former injuries. The Orange and Blue defeated a strong Mansfield squad in a completely airminded game. Stafford, Davis, Chalmers, and Lambert all scored at least once via air mail and the Bucks seemed to regain a semblance of their former strength. Lambert and Stafford were outstanding in their great defensive work, stopping many attempts that could have resulted in long runs. The Orange and Blue lost to a hard driving Fisher team that couldn't stop rolling. Uni High was hampered by the fact that Popeye could play only offensively. Harry Cattell had just returned after recovering from an injury sustained early in the season and could see only limited action. University High wound up its football season with a victory over a surprisingly strong St. Joseph team. The field was wet and rain fell during much of the game. Uni High tied the score at the end of the first with a touchdown run by Warmoth. Trailing 19-18 with little time left in the game, Gary Brown, who had just scored previously, took the ball and ran the length of the field to score the winning touchdown.

THE BUCKEYE LETTERMEN Captain Bob Stafford, Forward - Bob's 6'3" height, lots of jump, a cool head, and a sharp shooting eye gave Uni High a good many points and stopped just as many opponents' shots. He lettered last year, and was voted the most valuable player this year. Guard Denny Tucker - Denny was our only other returning letterman. His fast floor play and good defensive work were invaluable to the Bucks. Center Frank Finch - Tall Frank's steady pivot work, rebounding, and accurate pivot shot were always the source of points for the Orange and Blue. Forward Russ Miles - Sharp from the corner, up for a rebound, leading a fast break, that's senior Russ Miles. With his height and speed he help- ed out at center when the going got rough. Guard Harry Cattell - A dangerous man from 'way out with a long shot and extremely fast on drive-ins - these abilities made Harry a good ball- player. He was elected captain for next year. Guard Bill Goodheart - Bill's the player that could get out and play steady basketball or break loose with a tremendous burst of speed and drive for those needed points. Forward Kendall Fahnestock - Kendall had an eye for the basket and improved tremendously during the season. He will be a prominent figure on the next year's team.

Nice Valentine hop! The boy next to me matched his number with a cute, little curly headed blonde - Glenn Blair. 14. Happy Valentine's Day. If you look hard, I'll bet you'll find more than one girl wearing her heart on her sleeve. 19. Those energetic Juniors ! Another good hop ! Harry cannot tell a lie; he chopped down the cherry tree. 23. Yawn. Who says "Nobody Sleeps" ? That was quite an assembly! As Chuck Rockwood said, "Aw, those people must be screwy! " 26. Oh, that wonderful Star Dance! My hair was full of sparkly stuff from the "falling stars". One good thing was that there were plenty of cupcakes. March 7. Did you see Miss Kirk's pretty new saddles? 8. -I can see they won't last long now that we've started practicing at Greg Hall. 12. Umm, that lovely full moon! 17. Sure'n the whole school's wearin' the green for St. Patrick's Day. 19. We love the Pirates (the operetta, that is) so much that we even practice on Saturday morning. 23. Dress rehearsal already! Umm! handsome pirates ! Who wants to struggle ? Those 25-26. It was a lot of fun while it lasted. It is with relief and regret that we leave The Pirates of Penzance. What are these tales we hear about the Student Council Convention? Tell us, tell us all about it. April 1. April fool! 7. Our mermaids are at it again with their annual Terrapin show. These talented people ! 14. Have a nice Easter vacation. Whee, no school until Monday noon. 18. That rest certainly did a lot of good, didn't it? What rest? Oh, well. 30. Spring Fling. It seems that the girls get prettier every year. May 7. Now I see it all - the play, that is. Good work, cast! 11. What a beautiful day! Who says there's no such thing as spring fever. 26. Swish, swish, swish! Molten colors on Gregory Hall's stage! Orchesis concert dress rehearsal. 27. Bravo! Even if I do say so myself. 30. Memorial Day recess. June 3. What goes here? The Sophs seem to have had quite a party. 5. Baccalaureate. The time is drawing near. 7-9. What a super way to spoil our last week at Uni High ! 10. Commencement. Farewell, Uni High! We've learned a lot and had many good times. We'll return for a visit, too.
