DOWN IN THE VALLEY . .

The valley so low

Hang your head over
Hear the ...
. . . Indians yell!

A mighty roar soars up from

the valley; everyone is on
his feet. Tiskilwa is winning.

They come to the valley to find

an education.

They gather together and

talk. uHow's the Prom
coming? Have you studied
for your English test?

They come to the valley to

find class spirit, to find
fun, to find friends, and
to grow up.

Within these pages are scenes of sports, scenes

of fun. There are words of work and play, joy
and tears, and victory and defeat. The 1967
ARROW Staff has tried to give a clear picture
of life at Tiskilwa High School. This, then,
is a book of our memories-- memories of
the days we have spent" Down in the \ 'alley .··

CHAPTER 9.

3 And there c me out of the village of Tiskilwa a certain number of the children of Adam to enter in at ttie
Tiskilwa Grade School. From the village they came and the hills around it and the prairies beyond. By bus and by
car, yea, even so by foot came these children of Adam. And they came to be called the "Class of '67 ".

4 And they were made to read and to cipher, even so did they learn to write with pencils and chalk. And they
grew accustomed to their work. And in the joy of their learning did they flourish.

5 Much time came to pass and the principal whose surname was Huston looked upon their work and saw that it
was good. And the August and the June was the 1st grade year.

6 And it came to pass that the "Class of '67" remained long at the Tiskilwa Grade School. And their years in-
creased in number. And lo, they grew in stature and in wisdom. And ever did their thirst for knowledge increase.

7 Seven years came to pass and the time came when the principal whose surname was Hamilton caused to look
upon the fruits of their labor, and those who had ill-abused their time were felled by the wayside. But for the rest,
he saw that it as good.

8 For it as in the May of the eighth year that there was enacted a festival of vast importance which did con-
cern the children of Adam. And it was called by the elders of the place a Promotion. Lo, there was much singing
and calling of names and shaking of hands and giving of gifts.

9 But when the festival came at an end this people caused to look about them, and lo, the Tiskilwa Grade
School had gone from them.

CHAPTER 10.

1 And it came to pass in the year 1963 that a great influx of people did attend a first day assembly at the THS.
Now a close inspection of that multitude did reveal part to be the "Class of '67".

2 Their predominant color being green they did sit meekly with down-cast eyes and harkened to the wiseman
whose surname was Shull who spake before them, saying.

3 Though I speak with the tongues of scholars and teachers, and have not rules, thou art lost unto me.

4 And this people took these things to their hearts and rejoiced greatly in the glories of the THS.

5 Now this people, which in numbers slighted two score by four, met with troubled times and elected a might-
ily-willed woman as their leader, and the president was called Jewel. And Bill and Nita and Dan were called to
her aid.

6 Then cometh a time of persecution, called by the elders Freshman Initiation. And the people ere sore
afraid. And a voice saith unto them, -- Fear not, for it is all in fun. And they were comforted.

7 In the end their efforts were weighed in the balance and again it was good. And the August and the June was
the Freshman year.

the

10 And there were those who feared that THS would meet defeat.
 12 And again the examinations cometh. And again their work was weighed.
August and the June was the Sophomore year. (a

13 But lo, again the bells toll. And again the doors of the THS were opened. And again the Children of Adam
entered in. And still they were in number one score and twelve.

14 And there were among them a new family which came to be called Anderson. And being wise in the ways of
the world, did cause to come together a vast multitude at the THS. And they did prophesy, telling all present that
truly "Father Knows Best".

15 And in that year there was ordered a great feast, to the end of entertaining another nation called Seniors.

16 And the children of Adam didst work great miracles. For their leader was called Sam. And those under him
were Gerald, Jewel, and Bill. And they caused the whole of the gymnasium to become "The Floating City". Verily
I say unto you, a place of rare beauty was that where the feast was held.

17 And throughout the night did they eat and dance and carouse.

18 And again the examinations cometh and they were sore afraid. But when the wheat was separated fr m the
chaff, they saw that it was good. And the August and the June was the Junior year.

19 And ninety days and ninety nights came to pass. And the "Class of '67" again came out of the wilderness to
enter in at the THS. And they were one score and ten in numbers.

20 And there were among them spys of low degree who spake unto them saying.

21 And now abideth parents, teachers, and students, these three; but the least of these is teachers.

22 But the children of Adam harkened not to these lies. Rather didst they witness the glories of the THS ever
more fervently. And this people came to be called Seniors.

23 And again William ascended to the throne. And those under him were Gerald, Jewel, and Fred. nd there
were Je el of the FHA and Rachel of the GAA and Gin of the Papoose and Sam of the Student Council.

24 And it was known that these people were wise and many were the wonders they didst wrought.

25 For they so loved the school, that they gave their hard begotten time, that whatsoever shall be done by them
shall be done well.

26 And the fall of the year cometh. And this people did cause to be builded a grand float of beautiful nature. -......
And verily didst they prophesy "It's About Time".

27 And the wisemen who were called Judges looked upon their work and saw that it was good and didst bestow
first place upon them.

28 And the spring of the year cometh and the member nation which were called Juniors didst endeavor to enter-
tain the children of Adam at a grand feast which was called by the elders of the place, Prom.
I

29 And all who came did marvel at the wonders of the place. I.

30 But lo, the end approacheth. And there was much crying and tearing of hair. For the wisemen of the place
did enact a mighty farce which came to be called Commencement.

31 And it came to pass that the "Class of '67" met with its fate and was graduated. And the August and the
June was the Senior Year.

Thus endeth the reading for today.

FOR HE'S THE COACH WHO'S REALLY GRAND!

has announced his plan to retire as head foot-

ball coach at the end of this year; he will continue as
Social Science Teacher, as Assistant Principal, as
the Director of Athletics, and as head basketball

young menhe has trained "DOWN IN THE VALLEY."

The 1966 Football campaign was a rugged one for Coach Prusator and his Indians. The season was marred
with bad breaks from the opening kickoff against Ohio until the final gun of the Latv1oille game. It seemed as
though Lady Luck forgot to shine her face in the valley of the Champions as they finished fifth with a 4-4 season
record.
Loren Cook paced the Tribe with 44 points while co-captains Jerry Gutshall and Bill Philhower followed with
25 and 24 points respectively. Jerry Fisher won the tackling trophy for the most tackles during the season.
Seniors Jon Hughes and Bill Philhower were selected to the First Team All-Conference squad. Loren Cl10l<,
Jerry Fisher, and Ed Sims made the Second Team while Jerry Gutshall received llonorahle f\1ention.

2-3-2 record, which was good for fifth place in the con-

ference.

Charlie .. ~loose" Fredenhagen led the scorers with 68

points. Jim Tyne \vas next in line in scoring with 15 points.

Coach Doolittle and assistant Ronald Cordum were in

charge of the team. This year proved to be a building year.

 The 1966-1967 Indians enjoyed a most successful season.
The always tough Indians of Coach Robert Prusator closed the
season with a 20 - 7 won-loss record. Highlights of the season
were winning the Bradford Round Robin Holiday Tournament for
the fifth consecutive year and defeating Annawan in a one point
squeaker. The Indians received consolation honors in the Little
"8" Tournament and were runners-up to LaMoille in the District
Tournament.

Bill Philhower was selected to the first team in the post-

season All-Conference selections. Steve Ringenberg and Jon
Hughes, co-captains this year, received second team and honor-
able mention berths respectively. Pat O'Neill also was accorded
honorable mention.

We hope that this year's success is enjoyed by next year's

team.

THE END
This is our last page ! I suppose we should try to say something worthwhile in these, the few remaining lines
of print, but that's not easily done. Looking back over our work, it appears to me that everything has al ready
been said.
Just what have we put in our yearbook ? We've told about athletic events and traditional "whing-dings".
We've reported academic and social events. With both pictures and words we've tried to l eave you a clear his-
tory of our senior year at THS. We've had a few flashes from the past and even a glimpse at the future. Now
really, what more could you want?
I hope not much. For, you see, I'm afraid I must l eave you now. I'll give you two reasons: we're running
out of space and--- -we're running out of money!

Down in the Valley

THE END is here.
