Study Hall <strong>Library</strong><br />

NEW BUILDING ADDITION<br />

On January 25, 1958, the people of Wethersfield voted $200, 000 in bonds to construct a new addition to our<br />

school building. <strong>The</strong> addition included more classroom space than the original building, which gave us eleven<br />

classrooms, industrial arts, shop, band room, library, study hall, administrative and faculty unit, and rest rooms.<br />

<strong>The</strong> remodeling also included additional room in the Science Department.<br />

<strong>The</strong> students and faculty are very happy with the new addition, and wish to thank the taxpayers of the community<br />

for making it possible.<br />

DEDICATION<br />

We the members of the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Quill</strong> staff, dedicate this, the<br />

1959 edition of the <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Quill</strong>, to Kay Keime. Kay, a member<br />

of the class of '59, passed away April 3, 1958 at Iowa City, Iowa.<br />

"Though her life ended abruptly and the time she spent with us<br />

was much too short, she will long be remembered in the hearts of<br />

her friends and classmates."


Jurgen adjusted well to<br />

American school life.<br />

FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT<br />

Jurgen Richard Wolfgang Lenz was the foreign exchange student sent to Wethersfield High<br />

School from Karlsruhe, Germany by the American Field Service for the 1958-59 school year.<br />

Jurgen was 17 years old, and the second youngest of his two brothers and sister. He arrived in<br />

<strong>Kewanee</strong> on June 25, and will leave America at the end of this July.<br />

It didn't take Jurgen long to adjust to the "American way of life. " He was active in several<br />

extra-curricular activities, including Pep Club, Band, F. T.A., vice-president of his class, and<br />

Student Council.<br />

He made a big hit with the WHS girls because he was such a "smooth" dancer.<br />

This is the second year our school has sponsored a foreign exchange student. Last year Jaime<br />

Nieto of Madrid, Spain was with us. We've enjoyed having both these boys, and hope they've<br />

enjoyed their stay in the United States.<br />

STUDENT COUNCIL<br />

This past year the Student Council has had Jurgen<br />

Lenz as our foreign exchange student from Germany.<br />

We have enjoyed having him and we hope that he<br />

has enjoyed being here in our school.<br />

Our Homecoming last fall was a big success. It<br />

included a pep rally, parade, game, and dance. Pat<br />

Druin was crowned Homecoming Queen.<br />

Members of our Student Council attended both the<br />

<strong>District</strong> Convention at East Moline and the State Convention<br />

at Chicago.<br />

For fund raising projects we sponsored social hours<br />

and the candy machine. Paid assemblies were planned<br />

throughout the school year for the student body.<br />

We planned Student Government Day with a Faculty<br />

Tea in the afternoon.<br />

Our sponsors were Miss Allene Whitmeyer and Mr. Bryce<br />

Miller. Our officers were: President, Bill Vancil; Vice-<br />

CONCERT BAND<br />

<strong>The</strong> sixty-four piece Concert Band has had a most successful<br />

year. <strong>The</strong> new band room was completed in October,<br />

and rehearsals started the first of November. This<br />

room, with its near perfect accoustics, has provided the<br />

band with a beautiful home of its own. Patrons of the<br />

Wethersfield Schools can be justly proud of the provisions<br />

they have furnished for the Music Department. This new<br />

room has helped the quality and musicianship of each<br />

music organization to improve over a hundred per cent.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Concert Band was host for the Blackhawk Conference<br />

Band Festival, participated in the Illinois High School<br />

Association Music Contests, presented a concert for P. T.A.<br />

and gave its annual Spring Formal Concert in May. Nineteen<br />

hundred fifty-nine marks the tenth year for Mr. Bickhaus<br />

as band director of the Wethersfield Concert Band. <strong>The</strong><br />

number of students participating in band has grown from<br />

twenty-seven in 1949 to one hundred sixty-eight in 1959.<br />

MARCHING BAND<br />

<strong>The</strong> Wethersfield High School Marching Band is<br />

a forty-eight piece playing unit featuring a sevenman<br />

color guard up front. <strong>The</strong> drum majorette was<br />

Ann Pask('59) and drill instructor for the color guard<br />

was Mr. Fred Andrew.<br />

<strong>The</strong> marching band performed at all home football<br />

games and participated in the annual homecoming<br />

parade. It also participated in the massed band<br />

festival at Galesburg in the spring of the year, and<br />

also in the Western State University homecoming at<br />

Macomb in the fall of the year.<br />

Each year the choir enters the Illinois High School Association<br />

Music Contests. <strong>The</strong> Girls Choir has the distinction<br />

of bringing to Wethersfield its first State Championship Trophy.<br />

TRI-HI -Y<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tri-Hi-Y started the new year by welcoming<br />

in the new members with a Splash Party and pot luck<br />

supper. With such a good start, we combined with the<br />

G.A.A. to build a float for the Homecoming parade.<br />

We had'a clever float but did not win a prize.<br />

Our Christmas project was selling Christmas trees<br />

at the Y. For the Christmas community project we<br />

gave food to a needy family. We had a concession<br />

stand at one of the basketball games to earn money<br />

for the Midwinter Formal, which we sponsored. We<br />

also made favors for the hospital to use on Valentine's<br />

Day.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new members were officially initiated in January.<br />

Tri-Hi-Y had a very good year, thanks to the<br />

cooperation of the members and Miss Hutson, our sponsor.<br />

Officers this year were: President, Mary Ellen<br />

W CLUB


PEP CLUB<br />

This year's Pep Club started off with more determination<br />

than ever to promote better school spirit and<br />

sportsmanship.<br />

Some of the year's highlights included a white shirt<br />

cheering section, which did intricate card cheers. As<br />

a money-making project, the Pep Club sold school sweatshirts<br />

and beanies. For the first time a constitution was<br />

drawn up by the officers stating the definite rules and regulations<br />

of our organization.<br />

Our advisors were Mr. Paul Miller and Mr. Howard<br />

Perry. <strong>The</strong> club was headed by the following: President,<br />

F. HA.<br />

FHA monthly meetings have been centered around<br />

the theme of safety this year.<br />

"Families Together" projects of the Wethersfield<br />

Chapter have been having a Daddy-Date Night and a<br />

Mother-Daughter Banquet. During the FHA Week in<br />

March the in-coming Freshmen were initiated in a<br />

formal ceremony. <strong>The</strong> first week of school was Rosebud<br />

and Blossom Week, in which the Freshmen were<br />

introduced and welcomed into the Chapter.<br />

Entertaining done has included the Honor Roll Receptions<br />

held every six weeks, coffees for Unit Faculty<br />

meetings, and refreshments for parents on Visitation<br />

Day during National Education Week.<br />

At Christmas the FHA was very active in making<br />

dolls and stuffed toys to be distributed to children who<br />

wouldn't otherwise have a Christmas.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Future Farmers of America were very active<br />

this year under the supervision of our instructor, Mr.<br />

Perry. <strong>The</strong> activities were: selling fireplace logs,<br />

picking up corn, and selling concrete hog troughs.<br />

Some of the more enjoyable activities were the Father<br />

and Son Banquet and the all-school dance.<br />

This year our FFA Chapter was represented at<br />

many FFA judging contests. We also showed livestock<br />

at the FFA Fair and took in our fair share of<br />

the premiums. In October the FFA officers attended<br />

the Officers Training School and Banquet, which was<br />

held at LaMoilie High School. <strong>The</strong> officers brought<br />

back many good ideas to make the Wethersfield FFA<br />

a better chapter.<br />

Some of the trips taken this year included the<br />

Illinois State FFA Convention, and the National FFA<br />

Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. A trip to the<br />

International Harvester Plant in Rock Island was also<br />

very interesting and educational.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 1958-59 Myrtle B. Nelson Chapter of Future<br />

Teachers was one of the largest in its history. <strong>The</strong><br />

year's programs were of special interest to every one<br />

of the fifty-four members.<br />

Some of the program highlights were talks given<br />

by Wethersfield teachers and panel discussions led by<br />

the students. <strong>The</strong> high school principal, Mr. Bryce<br />

Miller, gave the club a different viewpoint on high<br />

school administration. Mrs. Soderlund, of the Blish<br />

Building, gave an informative talk on Special Education.<br />

At the Christmas season Miss Myrtle Nelson<br />

gave an enjoyable "Hour of Music. " A talk by Jurgen<br />

Lenz, the exchange student from Germany, was<br />

another program of special interest.<br />

<strong>The</strong> success of the club was due mostly to the<br />

help of the advisors. Miss Allene Whitmyer and Miss<br />

Ada Robbins. <strong>The</strong> officers for the year were: President,<br />

Pat Druin; Vice-President, Karen Hildebrand;<br />

TRACK SQUAD<br />

<strong>The</strong> Wethersfield Flying Geese last year had a young<br />

and inexperienced team, but they built up their team<br />

for the 1959 season. In the Blackhawk Conference meet,<br />

the Geese placed fourth. In the regular season the squad<br />

ended up with a 3 and 3 record.<br />

Gary Geirnaeirt was the leading scorer of the Flying<br />

Geese. Gary, only a sophomore, also took first place<br />

in the 440 yard dash in the Blackhawk Conference meet.<br />

Kirby Knutson was another good scorer for the Geese.<br />

He jumped better than 21 feet in the broad jump.<br />

This year the Geese will have a team which consists<br />

mostly of seniors. <strong>The</strong> Geese should have more experience<br />

and a better uack season this year.<br />

BASEBALL CHAMPS<br />

For the last three years, the Geese have succeeded in bringing the Blackhawk Conference<br />

trophy in baseball back to W, H. S. <strong>The</strong> Geese defeated the Wyoming Indians for the second<br />

straight year and gained the title. In order for the Geese to play Wyoming for the Champion-<br />

ship, they had to defeat Bradford, Walnut, and Galva, which they did to gain the title of<br />

their division.<br />

In the championship game, the Flying Geese defeated the Indians by a score of 8 to 2.<br />

Gordon VanWaes was the winning pitcher of the game, with a very good pitching record of 6<br />

wins and 0 losses; his brother, Dick, had a 3 and 3 record. In the title game, the big hitters<br />

for the Geese were Mickey Lind and Dick VanWaes, each collecting 2 hits.<br />

SENIOR CLASS PLAY<br />

On Friday, November 21, the Senior Class presented a three-act play entitled, "Seventeenth<br />

Summer," a tense, yet tender story of youth and first love. <strong>The</strong> plot centered around Angie Mor-<br />

row, a charming sensitive girl of seventeen and Jack Duluth, a tall good-looking boy of eighteen,<br />

and the events which made that "Seventeenth Summer" a most unforgettable one.<br />
