To the Junior Class, the knowledge that without us the school cannot go on.

To the Sophomore Class, our refined manners and gentle ways.

To the Freshman Class, our indefatigable spirit, our untempered enthusiasm for work, and our unmodi-

fied faith in the ultimate worth of extracurricular activities.

To the Sub Class, our condolences for four years of fun and games with the college of Education.

I, Tony Carter, being of sound mind and body, having recovered from my last illness two months ago, be-

queath my God-given ability for concise, precise, and succinct self-expression, often confused with

verbosity, to Miss Leppert.

John Duncan, leave my important position to anyone who's as sharp as I am.

Amar Fletcher, leave my long, lovely, lustrous locks to Dr. Jackson.

Marge Gaylord, leave my contact lenses to anyone who can fish them out.

Ev Heinrichs, leave my all-knowing philosophical judgements to the "sting-a-ling" boy, Bill Martin.

Mary Heller, leave my ability to reach high notes to Nick Peters.

Jim Hendrick, leave my dynamic leadership qualities to Eddie Lathrop.

Momoko Ito, leave my soft voice and gracious manner to Dickie Bourgin.

Julie Johnson, leave to impress my intellectual sensitivity on the groveling masses.

Tom Johnson, leave my concern for the Uni High curriculum to Mrs. Fletcher.

Jack Kelley, leave my multi-colored sweater collection to mouldy -collared Tom Bestor.

Mike Kirtley, leave the Uni High girls to the Sophomore boys. . . sort of stung the big boys up there!

Caroline Lanham, leave my athletic ability to John Burgett.

I, Susie Levin, leave my retiring personality to Valentina Radzimovsky.

Dave McLane, leave my aggressiveness to Mr. Grissom.

Joe Miles, leave in hopes that U. I. C. S. M. will follow in my footsteps.

Linda Newmark, leave my warmth and affection for the male sex to Candy Lennox.

CLASS HISTORY

Little did we know when we first tripped innocently into our ivy-colored edifice

that we would emerge the mature, perceptive, omniscient intellectuals that we are today.

Our existence at the University of Illinois Department of Education Experimental Lab-

oratory High School has been one grand socio-educational whirl.

1954-55 Throughout our Subfreshman year, we alternated between the North Attic

and the Mathroom as the locales for our weekly fiascos. (Could Steggie forget George

Washington's birthday, Abraham Lincoln's election, or "Oh, dem Godawful ties" par-

ties?) Our intellectual enlightenment consisted of the rousing rivalry of "King's Seat."

From these happy romps from desk to desk, we reaped physical as well as mental re-

wards.

1955-56 As Freshmen, our emotional releases took the form of glorious plays

performed in English class. The zenith of that company's career was the authentic

portrayal of socially adjusted high school teen-agers conversing canonically of cherry

punch. At that tender age, we also set an unrivaled record for weekly social gatherings

of interminable duration and doubtful illumination.

1956-57 The tradition of the awkard Sophomore stage was sorely interrupted:

we were perfectly well-adjusted. A studious bunch, we were inclined to be excessively

agitated by grades. The removal of the "6" proved to be a crushing blow to the majority

of us geneii. Many of the girls devoted much of their after-school time to developing

their athletic skill on the high-jump bar -- in the purely coincidental presence of the

track team.

1957-58 It's upperclassman time! We dispersed from our closely-knit group and

disseminated our vast knowledge to all struggling underclassmen. We gracefully descen-

ded upon Carnival and Operetta. Parties were of the impulsive variety; studying was at

a less frenzied pitch. We had but one aspiration: to be seniors.

1958-59 We are Seniors. We lead -- scholastically and socially. We are supreme.

We are totally organized and efficient in our every endeavor. We have surpassed our-

selves -- is it possible -- by planning an even more successful carnival than last year.

After we have gone, an ignorant, degenerate mass will remain. Farewell, O alma mater.

We leave.

TERRAPIN

This year, Terrapin, Uni High's sychronized swimming organization, was headed by Judy Shattuck,

President; Marge Gaylord, Vice-President; Ann Shipley, Secretary; Marcia Tuckey, Treasurer; and Miss

Lindsay, Sponsor. This group of fifty was the largest in the history of the club. With such a large group

there was a wide range of ability, and thus Junior Plege was added to Senior Terrapin, Plege, and Junior

Terrapin. This new group was fairly proficient in strokes, but needed practice on the various stunts.

On September 20, Terrapin gave a splash party for all the girls interested. The program included

races, free swim, a demonstration of synchronized swimming, and a short explanation of the club. Of

course there was plenty of food to end the gala affair.

On January 31, Terrapin presented its annual show. This year's show centered around a circus theme.

Great plans for the show necessitated a trip to Chicago for two of the members. The show also involved

hours of rehearsal and many exhausted girls. However, inspite of the state of stupor of the swimmers, the

show was a major success.

Terrapin finished the year by practicing strokes and stunts, and holding tryouts in the spring.

GARGOYLE

GARGOYLE, the school's weekly newspaper, was written and edited by a student staff of thirty.

The staff met Thursday noon and Thursday seventh period to produce the paper. In addition to the weekly

mimeographed paper, they put out three printed issues. These papers were distributed on Carnival Night,

at the Christmas Assembly, and on April Fool's Day.

This year the staff made many improvements in GARGOYLE. The paper, mimeographed rather

than dittoed, came out on Friday noon. After the 'town criers' had distributed the papers to the students,

the papers remaining were placed in a box on the first floor bulletin board so that everyone would have a

chance to pick one up. To improve the quality

of the articles, the Thursday afternoon meetings

were devoted to training the staff in proper jour-

nalistic style. Also, page editors were added to

the staff to decrease typographical errors.

UNIQUEUnique, Uni's literary magazine, was edited by a student staff of about twenty. Students from all

classes submitted themes, essays, and poems to the board for judging. Those which the board felt were

worthy of publication were compiled into magazines and distributed to the students by the general staff.

As in the past, there were four issues.

Several changes were made in Unique this year. Students placed compositions which they wished

to submit in a box in the library. For a change, the dittoed issues were legible and pleasant to read.

The magazines were real eye catchers this year, for their covers indeed lived up to the name --

UNIQUE.

SCIENCE CLUB

Science Club, under the direction of the executive committee, underwent several changes aimed

at making the club more interesting to more people. Before students could join, they had to turn in

project statements and have them approved. Members were required to attend all meetings and lectures

unless they had an excused absence from the executive committee. Many students who were in Advanced

Problems worked on projects that coincided with their work in the class.

Throughout the two semesters, the club was very active. Lectures from University professors, Bell

Telephone movies, and guided tours of university buildings highlighted the year.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The year started out well for G. A. A. Old Man Weather permitted them to hold their annual Big

and Little Sister Picnic outdoors at Hessel Park. There was a large increase in the number of girls who

participated in the club's activities --in fact there was a membership of sixty. Points were given for

participation in the intramurals which were held every Monday and Wednesday after schooL The big

event of the year for G. A. A. was the Star Dance, held in March. This is the only vice -versa event at

Uni High. As usual, the dance was a great success -- at least it was the most populated! G. A. A. wound

up the year's activities with the spring picnic.

Throughout the year the group prac-

ticed choreography and dance tech-

choreographed and danced by the

students. At the end of the year, they

STRING ENSEMBLES

The String Ensemble, under the direction of Mrs. Hunter, performed at several school functions

this year. They played several carols at the Christmas Concert and the Christmas Assembly. They also

gave a combined concert with the Band at the end of the year. Toward the end of the year, they made

plans to unite the Band and the String Ensemble into a full orchestra which would be a parmanent

arrangement. They also considered having a select orchestra for those students who qualified. This

group would meet out of school, and so the participants would not have to be enrolled in the instrumental

program at schooL Also several small ensembles played at the District Contest and other events.

MIXED CHORUSMixed Chorus was the largest musical group at Uni High. Their concerts included the annual

Christmas Concert in which THE LITTLEST ANGEL was given as the second half of the program, and

numerous school assemblies. Many of the Mixed Chorus members were in the Operetta, and during the

first half of the second semester, second hour rehearsal time was turned over to the Operetta Chorus.

After the Operetta came the Spring FestivaL Everyone had a chance to be in the large chorus composed

of high school students from the Champaign -Urbana area. All of the members provided places to stay

for the two exchange groups which visited Uni. In return, about forty members were able to be in the

Spring Tour Choir.

OPERETTA

"Patience" or "Bunthorne's Bride" is a satire of the aesthetic transfigurations of "Twenty Love-

sick Maidens" who are deeply in love with a poet, Bunthorne. The 35th Dragoon Guards in their "primary

colors" are trying in vain to get the affections of the maidens. Patience, the village milkmaid, boasts

that she has never loved, but when she discovers that it is selfish not to love, she immediately falls

in love with Bunthorne. There comes into the scene one Grosvenor, who is also "aesthetic and poetic."

The girls immediately transfer their affections to him, but he loves Patience, and they eventually pair

up. Grosvenor really is a "common place young man" and abhors aestheticism, so whenhe "chooses

to discard aestheticism" the rapturous maidens become "Swears and Wells young girls." Thus, they

are left with the Dragoon Guards, and Bunthorne is left with Lady Jane, the elderly maiden. However,

the Duke at length determines a bride, Jane, and Bunthorne is left with a "tulip or a lily."

Months of preparation went into the production of "Patience." Rehearsals were first held in the

North Attic The cast practiced fifth hour, seventh hour, after school, and Saturday. The two choruses

sang together second hour while they worked on individual parts after school. In the beginning of March

the entire production moved over to Greg Hall where extensive rehearsal began. While the choruses

and cast were perfecting the operetta many committees were working behind the scenes. The hard work

paid off on April 3 and 4 when "Patience" was presented in the Greg Hall auditorium. It was a great

success!

VARSITY BASKETBALL

Uni got its season off on the right foot this year by beating Homer in the first game, 51-35. However, the Buck-

eyes were able to win only one more game all year -- over St. Joe, 54-53. Uni played some pretty good basketball

throughout the year but seemed to have tough luck in the close ones. The Buckeyes lost three games to Ogden and

St. Joe by a total of seven points.

In most of the games Coach Bob Carlier started Jim Hendrick and Roger Warner at the forwards, Ambrose Rich-

ardson at center, and Joe Miles and Bill Martin at the guards. Hendrick, Miles, Richardson, Martin, Warner, and

John Schacht all won major letters.

JUNIOR VARSITY

Our Junior Varsity had a very respectable seven and nine record this year. Coach Keller's

boys came through consistently when the chips were down, and at one point won three consecutive

games by a total of four points. The starting lineup was Jim Gardner and John Kirby as the for-

wards, John Chapman as center, and Charles Derber and Steve Hall as the guards. Minor letters

were awarded to Gardner, Kirby, Chapman, Derber, Hall, Steve Kellogg, and George Frampton.

All of these boys gained experience which will be valuable to them on the Varsity next year.

VARSITY CHEERLEADERS, LEFT TO RIGHT: Kay Karraker. HeadCheerleader; Dottie Dietz, Marge Gaylord, Chris Vestling.

CHEERLEADERS

Uni High had eight enthusiastic cheer-

leaders this year. Under the sponsorship

of Mrs. Wolfe, the girls learned new cheers

and brought life into the old ones. For var-

iety they used pom poms in several cheers,

and Dave Trebilcock and his bongos pro-

vided background for another. Several cheer-

leaders turned acrobatic, doing splits and

flips. The uniforms were improved by re-

placing the megaphones with "U" *s.

As in past years, the cheerleaders

provided transportation to the away games for

the student body. Although drivers were

scarce and the weather was often poor,

there were always loyal fans in the stands.

Led by the cheerleaders, they gave the team

great encouragement.

U-CLUB

U-Club was active throughout the year. In their weekly meetings the boys saw many films

on athletics. They sponsored their annual dance on January 10. The highlight of the dance was

the welcoming of four newly -initiated members in the club -- Steve HalL Dave Williams, JimGardner, and Phil Ross.

15-16.

Due to the Orientation Assembly, all the new students know exactly what they're

doing- -especially running away from that personified Gargoyle. Tonight's Howdy

Hop left Charlie Derber a bit confused. He can't understand why he didn't win the

mixer as Clara always did -what's the matter with Zorro inhabiting Third Street,

anyway?

We are happy to announce that Miss Lindsay is still with us. Explanation: she was

heard saying "if it rains again for the G. A. A. picnic, I'll die."

Tut, tut, teachers, you shouldn't have pooped out so soon--but thanks a lot for the

afternoon off even if you do call it a teachers' meeting.

Creativity rides again. Orchesis is on the move starting with a two-day workshop.

Disregarding all puns, the fall drama production, two Japanese Noh plays, should

prove interesting; so thought those many people who tried out.

Uni High students took to the woods (actually Kickapoo) again today. This time it

really was a biology field trip.

Blub, i.e. the very successful Terrapin Splash Party.

Oh, those lucky eight who have to cope with Uni High's school spirit- -congratulations,

cheerleaders!

Uni High sent four delegates plus Miss Leppert to a DASC leader

84

Training workshop in Monticello. We hope to get our money's worth.

Organization? Music? Cookies? Never! Yep -- another all-school party

sponsored by the seniors.

OCTOBER

2. Who said this year wasn't a tradition breaker? We just won a cross-

country meet for the first time in two years.

3. Romin' Rome, penny throwing, roller skating queens, a fashion show of

sheets -- you guessed it, the Carnival Assembly.

4. On this date, in the year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Eight,

three Meritorious Lads, Warren Ford Doolittle HI, Joseph B. Miles, and

Thomas Thornton Read, brought Great Honor upon this Worthy Institution

in becoming National Merit Semi-Finalists.

8. The Sophomore girls wore dresses to school.

10-17. Ah, that glorious period of bedlam -- Carnival Week.

18. The great night itself. Suffice it to say that this year's Carnival was the

biggest and best ever.

NOVEMBER

1. The decorations blended so nicely with the atmosphere of the Tri High

Dance.

2. On this historic day two great battles raged: at the polls between the

G.O.P.'s and the Demo's; on the gridiron, that between the students and

faculty of Uni High. Some say the best won both.

7-8. As we pull the last strands of wysteria from our hair, we can objectively

evaluate the plays, KANTANandSOTABAKOMACHI. Yes, I'msure we 'Hall

agree they were an interesting experiment in Japanese theater.

14. Though they are no longer the yellow peril, reliable sources claim they

saw yellow spots after taking their progress reports home.

26-28. O agonyl O ecstasy! We have finally reached the peaceful isle of va-

cation in the troubled seas of school work. Let us all give thanks.

DECEMBER

6. The Uni High delegation, inspired by our own little giant, Tony Carter,

made some powerful proposals at the Uni-hosted YCCI meeting today.

It seems they all figured the way to find out "What the U. S. Needs to

Know About the U.S.S.R." is to go there. Bon Voyage, I say.

7. To quote from a Calendar of Olden Days: "Christmas Concert. It went

off quite welL" How applicable it is to this year's play -- halos et aL

13. It is hoped that the absence of basketball results herein will not be con-

strued as a lack of interest, but simply a matter of discretion.

19. Having consulted Emily Post, the faculty gave a party. Their invitation to

the students read, "The faculty requests the honor of your presence . . .

Wear you Sunday best." Having consulted tradition, the students distributed

witty and appropriate gifties. And Mr. Schuetz dropped his bomb. Con-

gratulations, you aesthetic members of the PATIENCE cast.

.

k M

20. Ev Heinrichs says, "The Christmas Dance was lousy on account of*I

was in Florida." But not everyone agrees with Ev and her mother.

22. Mops, brooms, and bathroom supplies -- not that the Physical Plant misses

them (They just wonder where that stufPs all gone) ... but we know:

Operetta Rehash.

25. Happy Birthday.

JANUARY

1. Let's skip mis day-after, heh?

5. Democracy in action: Student Council town meeting plus the reopening

of the new and different lounge.

10. The ultimate educational experience in our high school careers -- College

Boards. Fortunately the U-Clnb Dance allowed us to recuperate.

21. Yes, siree, kiddies, 1*11 always remember that winter of '59. Why — the

ice and the cold -- well the power was out for days . . .

26-27. Semester Exams. What's that Marcia Tuckey's saying? Whatever we

do today decides our grades, and our grades decide what college we're

going to get into, and what college we get into decides our future. Isn't

that neat! And what's that big smile on her face?

29. A second very successful CARE Dance -- over $50 in supplies to overseas.

31. Uni High now has its own replacement for Barnum and Bailey — not under

the Big Top, but underwater. On a circus theme, the Terrapin Show.

FEBRUARY

2. How happy are we to return to learningl

7. Wow! Wow! Tri High rolling up the score, $377.08 (Uni High total --

$148.75) for the March of Dimes.

11. Today all students were asked by ye olde P.T.A. to offer suggestions

concerning improvement of the "social climate" with specific reference

to the "opportunities." We're glad to have a group which takes such a

keen interest in our problems.

13. No doubt Wyrd (thank you, Mrs. Riva) decided progress reports should

come out on this F riday. But we have grand compensation: Uni beat St.

Joe tonight — 55-54!

17. Social studies aptitude test given today. Well, Miss Leppert, now you know.

21. A true artistic triumph -- slinkies, visible audience and all -- Nini Taub's

last Orchesis Concert.

26. Uni High's well-known and oft-requested, tremendous commercial success

performs once again those old favorites, "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Don't

Fence Me In," and "Aba Dabba Dabba." Since they need no publicity (no

other reason naturally) , we will mention no names.

27. The Frosh finally came through and sponsored a perfectly smeshing all-

school pahhhty.

28. Uni High closed its basketball season at Mahomet. Such a happy and over-

awing feeling to see a gym smaller than the good ol* temporary one just

a few steps from school (again wouldn't like to mention any names).

88

£*

MARCH

4. The Regional Tournament calls on dear old Uni: we face Champaign. Need

we say more.

7. Tonight we attended the most worthwhile social event of the U of I season —you guessed it — the Star Dance. My goodness, there were a lot of people

there amongst the atmosphere.

11. Right now the thing to do seems to be to write about the Operetta. AllonsI

Mr. Schuetz tears his hair; the chorus plods aesthetically on -- and who

knows what the cast does?

13. Zeus (somebody better -- and he's appropriate after their study of THE

ODESSEY) pity Chicago as the Frosh (all five billion of the monsters)

descend therein. Perhaps the fine milk train will calm them down. Mean-

while, back at the ranch, Miss Leppert rounds up those fascinating, time-

consuming, and totally enjoyable historical essays.

14. But those fine fellows in Princeton are not squelched yet: they are back

to brainwash once again. This all is a subtle way of saying COLLEGEBOARDS!

APRIL

3-4. With our performance of PATIENCE tonight, comes our last opportunity

to wear misfitted costumes, to lose our voices, and to have mustaches

fall off. And by George -- we took that opportunity! Shall we quote? **I

have committed my last act of ill-nature, and henceforth I'm a changed

character."

11. How embarassing not to be able to make a derogatory comment about the

Spring Fling. But then, of course, we all know that the sophomores are

unmarred in their excellence; thus we can easily comprehend the perfection

of the dance.

ypwuiii

M*

24. The time has come, for those rash Uni Highers to make good their plans

at theY.C.CI. meeting. Good Luck.

30. As the faculty calendar gleefully exclaims, as the student calendar fore-

bodingly warns, and as the office calendar authoritatively confirms --

PROGRESS REPORTS.

MAY8-9. My dean, you projected (from the diaphragm?) so well. I mean, I mean

the whole play was absolutely beautiful,

22. Bountiful fresh air, moldy old food, healthful exercise, and a true education-

al spirit provided a thoroughly joyous Senior Skip Day.

23. That savage, blood-crusted ax slashed another junior class to bits during

Class Night proceedings. The Class of '59 is now above it all, and the Class

*60 is beginning already to form, from the gore, a new senior class.

31. Baccalaureate and all it implies.

JUNE

1-2. Exams -- without grades dependent thereon; exams -- without a college

record dependent thereon; exams without pressure. Final exams. Freedom.

5. The ultimate ceremony. And, with diploma in hand, we begin.

6. A fantasy of swirling skirts and a dark night, such was our last P rom.
