As we look at pictures of ourselves, some of us will wonder if we really looked like that, and perhaps hope we didn't. All of us will be reminded of our friends and of many happy events. We will enjoy the class prophecy in which the yearbook staff poked fun at themselves and their classmates. Later we will remember the class night program when the U AND Ps were pre- sented - - how the Seniors proved beyond a doubt that the school would have gone to ruin without them, and how the Juniors demonstrated just as convincingly that, in spite of the Seniors, they had made the school successful. Much of our time we properly spend in looking forward -- seniors to jobs or college, juniors to becoming seniors, and subs to their freshman year. Old people too, like parents, teachers and principals, think of their futures. This, we believe, is good, for by estimating the future we can plan to fit into it and control it. It is also good for you to remember your school days and for the rest of us again to recall ours as we see them through yours. I am glad to welcome you to THIS time of remembering, and to the many later times when this book will remind you of your school and of all of us who were part of it when you were here. ^k*^&, 2% DEDICATION Dear Mr. Laska, The students of Uni High have always appreciated your helpfulness and patience. Now we wish to show our appreciation, and by dedicating this year- book to you, we are saying, in the best way we know how THANKS.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB This year Photograpny oiuu, guidea Dy its sponsor, John Laska, spent most of its time in learning new camera skills and correct darkroom procedures, and in study- ing lighting techniques as applied to indoor photography. Recently the club was honored when its president, Chris Bannister, was given a one-man show at the Western Arts Convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Uni High was one of the three high schools in the country invited to show its photographic work. Mr, Laska took some twenty-five enlargements of pictures taken by Bannister over the western area of the United States during the summer of 1953, to the convention and was in charge of their display. 43 >«•».

MUSIC MUSIC WARREN H. SCHUETZ Director of Music Uni High*s music department this year included Girls* Chorus, Mixed Chorus, Orchestra, Boys' and Girls' Ensembles, and Madrigals. Girls* Chorus was made up of 22 underclass girls, and met every Monday and Tuesday in room 206. Mrs. Mackey was their director, and their officers were: Judy Levin, Marti Cleary, Linda Mowrer, Frances Jackson, and Marcia Kaplan. Mixed Chorus met in the Gym this year, as fire regulations in the attic made it impossible to rehearse the 95 members there. This group was directed by Mr. Schuetz. Boys* and Girls* Ensembles and Madrigals were chosen from chorus enrollment. The two ensembles were made up entirely of Juniors and Seniors, as their rehearsal time prevented other classes from participating. Orchestra was made up of 45 instrumentalists. It rehearsed in the North Attic for the Christmas assembly and their annual Spring Concert, held in Gregory Hall. Their officers were: Ann Cleary, Emily Fessler, Sally Stearns, and Pat Hagan.

They presented a Christmas Concert on December sixth in Gregory Hall, and members of the choruses took part in the Champaign County Music Festival in May. Five scholarships were given to the All-State Music Festival in February. Boys* and Girls* Ensembles and Madrigals presented an exchange concert at Joliet High School, following the example set by 1954*s groups, which sang at Leyden Community High School in Franklin Park, Illinois. As well as singing at the Christmas Concert, Madrigals presented their usual large number of concerts for various civic organizations. They also presented programs at Piper City and Gibson City. While on their annual field trip in May, they gave performances on radio and tele- vision. Their programs were generally made up of sixteenth century music and Negro spirituals. As an added attraction, members of the group accompanied themselves on recorders. 55 Kb] IT I * 1 1 - B Ik >; J T ]J B7 V ■W 1 ••^j C ^^1 ORCHESTRA fc\W> • c!# % V ^ ATHLETICS VARSITY Jackie Sowers, Lorna Klorfine, Maribeth Hamp, and Laurie McClure. c H E E R L E A D E R S The Uni High cheerleaders, with chairman Jackie Sowers, helped the crowd cheer Uni on through the basketball season, and at the pep assembly. This is the second year that Uni has had four varsity cheerleaders and two reserve cheerleaders. The cheerleaders did a good job in keeping up crowd enthusiasm throughout the season. They made the trip to most of the out-of- town games to lead the rooting section for the Buckeyes. The attend- ance at both reserve and varsity games was good.

CROSS COUNTRY In t he fall of 1954, Cross Country appeared at Uni High for the first time in the history of the school . At first", not much interest in the sport was shown by the school. Even the boys who came out did it for the conditioning value involved, rather than for the sport itself. However, the interest in Cross Country gradually increased, both in the school and in the team itself, and in turn die team posted an excellent record for the sport. Our first meet was run against Tremont on the University Farms. (What fun to run around corn fieldsl) Tremont, for this meet, was the better team. Our team now decreased to six members since Denis Larsen dropped out because of other conflicts. Bismark was our next opponent at a meet run at Bismark. It was raining and we had a very muddy cross-country run. Still we posted a one-sided victory. Pleasant Plains, our next opponent, was hampered by the loss of half of their team somewhere between their home and Urbana. It wasn't as bad as it sounded though, because the car that got here held the best part of their team. (Darn it!) Still we achieved our second victory of the season on a cool, sunny day. In the middle of October, we participated in a big meet in Springfield; two big schools were re- presented, Lamphier and Lincoln. What a course this was! This part of Illinois has hills. Have you ever tried jumping a creek after running a mile? Believe me it looked like a river! The team concluded that this was the hardest course they had seen all season. Although John Sanford really shone in this meet by coming in second, the only team we beat was Pleasant Plains and so we took third. A return meet with Bismark and another victory! Our first triangular meet was run at Pleasant Plains, against Pleasant Plains, whom we had already beaten twice, and the Tri -Cities. The latter had one runner who placed fifth in the State last year and as a result a royal battle between him and John Sanford resulted. Unfortunately, Sanford lost, but he still ran the 1.0 mile course in an unofficial time of ten minutes. In this meet, we encountered the worst weather of the season, it being cold AND rainy. In our last meet of the season with Tremont, we sought to avenge our first loss; but our team was down to five members, John Buley having left town. The course was run over a gravel road which caused the boys wearing track shoes to develop a crop of blisters. The course also included the "steepest hill in Ilinois." We put up a gallant fight but lost the meet even though John Sanford came in first. So ends the Cross Country record of Uni High for 1954. 59 VARSITY BASKE KNEELING: Fred Brightbill, Jack Marvel.

Uni High's basketball team had, according to the record, a bad year. But the record doesn't tell the whole story. The team played together better, and worked harder than any basketball team Uni high has had for a long time. The season started with a disappointment when, a fter winn ing from Bellflower, they had to forfeit because of the ineligibility (through transfer) of t wo playe rs. ^Aiter that time, even though they lost a large numbeFot tneir games, tne team improved steadily. Highlights of the season were the games with St. Joe, the league champs, and Unity, who took second in the County Tournament. Against St. Joe the team fought hard, but finally lost by four points. Time was the only thing that kept them from winning. The Unity game ended with Uni on the wrong end of a 76-70 score, after two nerve-wracking overtimes. Another hard fought game was the Mahomet game. In the last three minutes the team overcame Mahomet's sixteen point lead and won by one point. 60 [BALL RESERVES KNEELING: Jim Buckley, John Williams, Dave Hulett, Steve Knapp, John Buley. STANDING: Mike Morrell, Lindsay Black, Marvin Brent, Denis Larsen, Grant Fairbanks, Coach Mike Reuter. The reserves, this year, were a hard fighting basketball team, and although they were usually on the short end of the score, they never gave up. Two factors which contributed greatly to their poor record were, the loss of John Buley and the fact that they had to play teams of older and bigger boys. The reserves started the season with a bang by win ning t heir fl rst two pamp. s- From that time on they had bad luck, losing game after game, until they played St. Joe. . . . They WONI But hard luck struck again and again and John Buley had to have an appendectomy. '1 tus weakened die team and from that time on they didn't win a game. To sum up, neither of Uni High's basketball teams won too many games, but it certainly wasn't because they weren't trying. 61 OPPONENTS Bell flower Mansfield Brocton Homer Fisher Sidell Mahomet Ogden Mansfield ABL Melvin- Sibley 35 56 44 51 51 65 47 45 44 71 77 UNI HIGH 42 \hl (~*~kw ABL Odgen St. Joseph ABL St. Joseph Eastern Illinois State College Unity Double overtime Deland-Weldon Mahomet Urbana County Tournament 52 CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 8. Well, once more the halls of ivy echo with the footsteps of returning students (and it most certainly is not true that the revered green color of our school is due to a malignant fungus growth - - - this is merely an unfounded rumor started by an embittered senior). 9. What hath thith thcool wrought!! Play tryouts on the second day of school! Heavens, Mr. Leach! 10. O Goody. Another wonderful Howdy Hop. Aside from the fact that we were all kicked out at 10 p.m. because somebody (who shall remain nameless here since Dave Snyder would be angry if we told) goofed on the opening order, it was ecstatic. 13. Everything seems to be starting early this year. Katy Almy was seen wrestling with the cap on a great big bottle of rubbing alcohol. Since she swears that she does not like the flavor of the stuff, we must conclude that Orchesis is about to begin again. 14. Teachers just aren't what they used to be. Here we've only been back in school for a week, and already they've given up and taken a half- day off. 16. Aha! So the fall play is definitely BERNARDINE. And who will get the five female parts? We eleven boys who tried out for the twelve male parts can rest and let the girls fight it out. 17. It seems that the Biology field trip is scheduled for today. Alas, what sloth. They escape the grindingly hard work of the school day just so they can chase a bunch of minute insects through a dismal, slimey swamp. Indeed! 21. Oh slurp! I'm in the play! This means another glorious two months of pure chaos. I don't see how this play can survive without Mim Rosen's faithful Studebaker with which to haul our fabulous props (and equally fabulous actors) to Greg Hall. 24. We have finally settled down to the normal school routine, with nothing but Orchesis, dramatics, yearbook, sports, Gargoyle, student council, homework, etc. to do. I wonder what I can do with my spare time this year. 27. Some (not much, but some) interest in our new fall sport, cross country, has been noticed. According to Steve Webb, it is sort of a cross between a track meet and a streamlined golf game. Decidedly not a spectator sport. 30. The perennial G.A.A. picnic occurred today, accompanied by the equally perennial foul weather. Perhaps they could work it into the program. ^ CH EVR0U T %**% OCTOBER The beginning of the noble month of October has impressed itself on our minds with all the explosive impact of a soggy firecracker. Nothing has happened for about four days now. Not only is this frightfully boring, but it also makes it extremely hard to write a good yearbook calendar. In a spectacular assembly we of the student body have been informed that another fabulous Uni High carnival is practically at our throats. The theme of this one is to be " Hollywood! '* This of course won't change anything in the least, but it will look good in the papers. 7. Much to the surprise and joy of those few who discovered the fact, the Uni High cross country team defeated the Pleasant Plains team by a score of 23 to 34. For the benefit of the owners of those puzzled looks which, I am sure, are beating down on mis page, I will explain that in cross country meets, unlike most civilized sporting events, one wins by scoring less points man one's opponent. 9. Wil Leach has already received some worried queries as to the nature of BER- NARDINE. It is rumored that the production will be boycotted by the American Legion, the D.A.R., and the Missouri Synod if the play turns out to be anything like DARK OF THE MOON. 11-16. Hooray! Carnival week is here. This is the glorious time when we can get out of one class a day merely by walking around the halls with blank expressions on our faces and huge wads of paper in our arms. 16. The carnival has been and gone, the science room has been cleared of most of the noxious vapors produced by the "science show," and that hysterical laughter reverberating throughout the building simply bears witness to the joys of the finance committee. It seems that this Carnival was one of the most lucrative in the history of Uni High. MONEYI!!! 19. It has been noticed that the faculty members of our dear school are busy working up that old toothpaste- ad smile again. This can only mean that there is a P.T.A. meeting tonight. Requiescant In Pace. 23. This year's U. Club dance turned out to be a moderately illustrious success. The only noticeable defect was the lack of a false fire alarm, which feature has heretofore occupied an important position in the entertainment program. 29. Today the subfreshman class takes a field trip to Springfield. The vile lie stating that the Springfield Civil Defense will use this as a reason for practising their mass evacuation techniques has no basis at all. 30. The Senior Class sponsored a picnic and hayrack ride this evening. The chaperones were amazed at the silence and concentration of their previously unruly charges. Need we say more? NOVEMBER 3. Mr. Schuetz has announced that Leonard Hays, die Uni High tenor, has been pro- moted to soprano after his sterling performance on the solo part of "J esu!" 6. The Tri-High dance made its annual appearance on the social calendar. The theme was "Moonlight and Roses," and with typical timeliness, the roses had all rotted away and the moon was obscured by an ugly grey cloud. However, the genius of the decorations committee made up for this. Who else would have thought of using a pot-bellied grey cupid as the centerpiece? 8, Once more it is time for the Yellow Peril. The end of the quarter has come and already the teachers are sprinkling thumbtacks in their beds in order to get in the proper mood for filling out progress reports. 11. The basketball season smashed its way into our attention as tneJ3uckeyes_beat_ Bellf lower 42 to 35. Unfortunately for school morale, the unmitigated pleasure caused by this victory was later mitigated to a great extent by die announcement that we would have to forfeit the game because ineligible players participated. 15. All of the props for BERNARDINE were moved to Gregory Hall today. It is rumored that several U. of L students went on the wagon after seeing a large six-sided ottoman buzzing down Wright Street atop Royce William's Crosley. 17. Having apparently given up on the play itself, the cast of BERNARDINE devoted much of the final week to work on the sets. Many interesting things, such as sticking adhesive tape on blue curtains in a haphazard manner, cutting up 4" x 1" planks with Boy Scout knives, and shooting other workers with stapling guns, were willingly done by the actors and technical crews. 19, With typical acumen, the school scheduled the opening performance of the fall play on the same night as the basketball game with Mansfield. The team lost, but the play was a roaring success. Just ask any of us cast members. 20. The second (and last) performance of BERNARDINE went off quite well. Aside from the normal ad-libs and the rather peculiar actions of the telephone bell, nothing unusual happened. Mr. Potter's French Poodle, Pompey, did a fine job of acting, keeping the audience in suspense throughout the play. 24. It looks as if this year's basketball team is going to maintain the splendid tradition begun by previous teams. We lost another game, this time to Brocton-Redman. However, the hop after the game and the fact that tomorrow Thanksgiving vacation starts (O frabjous dayl Calico! Callay!) helped somewhat to allay the grief. 29. Gadl Back to school again. What a drear and dismal pastime, be of good cheer, however; it may well prove that such little things as the Christmas Concert, the Operetta, basketball games, etc., etc., will help us while away the weary hours during the rest of the year- DECEMBER 2. We prepare once again for the yearly Christmas Concert. Everybody (well, almost everybody) has turned their little pocket flashlights in to be capped with red cellophane. Grant Fairbanks, however, is setting some sort of a record by using a large two-cell floodlight for the second year in a row. 4. The Christmas Concert was a tremendous success, if you discount the fact that the column of marchers on the right side beat the other column to their seats by a full twenty feet. Ah, well, die music was good. 6. Several cross-country letter men were initiated into U-Club this evening. We're not saying that our little game of "truth or consequences" was rough, you under- stand. It's just that some of the initiates will be performing some rather unusual feats for a while now. Lucky Miss Fedderl 8. There is a nasty rumor creeping around that the madrigal members indulge in activities other than singing on those long, cold field trips. Something about group dramatizations of die stories in TRUE CONFESSIONS! 11. Hoo Boy! We finally won a basketball game. The dear old Buckeyes trounced Mahomet with a vengeance. For once, everyone enjoyed die after -game-hop. 14. Uni High is really bubbling over with die true Yuletide Spirit. The French classes went caroling, and the fact that they were requested to sing in English should not be construed as a criticism of their linguistic ability. 15. The time-honored Christmas assembly took place today, complete with a fuzzy Santa Claus and humorously (sic!) appropriate gifts for outstanding members of the student body and faculty. Refreshments, event 17. U ni won another game, this time defeating Ogden as a going-awa yprese nt for Coach Redden, who is resigning his coaching position in order to ta ke the pnsr of Director of At hletics at Channte Field. 18. The junior class gave a pretty good Christmas Dance (but nothing like the one the class of '55 gave last year, of course). However, it was felt that, considering the amount of mistletoe used in the decorations, a little more discretion might have been utilized in arranging the lighting. 23. YEOMEN OF THE GUARD once more made an appearance on the Greg Hall stage. It was, however, in a slightly different form this time, due primarily to the fertile minds of several of die cast members. It was lots of fun, though, and no really serious felonies were compounded. 25. Well, this is die day for rejoicing, overeating, and mentally marking down which presents are to be exchanged at the first opportunity. And a very Merry Christmas to all you lovely people out there. 27. Our new basketball coach is to be Mr. Clyde Knapp, father of Steve Knapp an 5^^fc®$^^ c\ g^sL^r ^^,A> ym\ t J / &L>. _\ * ll\ fii tyjLi^ U\ AvlY)/////v^\ i\ \\ \\ 1/ // \SVVPviSlAJ / .#/ \\ *"^ _/ /^r/ ICE CREAM MILK BUTTER Wholesale Retail DIXIE CREME DONUT SHOP Raised and Cake Donuts 212 W.

Indeed, both are Musical Plays, both have been singularly successful before Audiences, there is a certain thematic Similarity, and finally, the Natives of America were as remote to the English Author of Inkle and Yarico as the Islands of the South Seas are to us. So much for that sort of thing. Certainly though, in point of success, Inkle and Yarico could scarcely have been more popular for it held the stage in one Version or Another for well over a Hundred Years. Among the most popular of these Versions was that by George Colman, the younger, with Music by Dr. Arnold, that was performed at the Haymarket, London, in 1787. In America this Version has more recently been popular in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Charleston, and in Virginia, particularly in the years 1792, to 1795. The Story of Inkle and Yarico did not arise solely from the Imagination of an Anecdotist. A real Yarico did exist, according to the Report of that trustworthy Traveller, Lignon, as published in 1657 on the fifty-fifth Page of his True and Exact History of the Island of Barbados. Now with the opening of Part of the St. Lawrence Freeway and swift delivery of Mail, Members of the Audience here this Evening who have recently been perusing their Back Issues of the London Publication, the Spectator, will undoubtedly be acquainted with the Anecdote as it appeared in much extended Form in the Issue of thirteenth of March, 1711. It is this same version of the Story as published in that Paper, that has made it one of the most Favored of all Subjects for Poem, Story, Play, or Poetic Epistle. By the simple Expedient of a few minor Variations, this same Tale became an important Document in the anti-slavery Movement of the 1790's. But now that the Play is happily devoid of any topicality and can be enjoyed for pure Sentiment, we have hastened to bring it before our Audience. Although the Play has not appeared on the American Stage for over a Hundred and Fifty Years, we feel it should receive its deserved Approbation through Per- formance in Champaign -Urbana, Athens of the Mid -West. --Cyril Bidnut OVERTURE AND ACCOMPANIMENTS BY Mr. CHRISTOPHER BANNISTER, Harpsichordist Miss CLEARY, flute Miss WHITING, bassoon STANDING: Royce Williams, Marvin Brent, Joe Harris, Lindsay Black, Dave Hulett, Harlan Heath, Mark Rhodes, John Williams, Grant Fairbanks, Dan Yohe.
