1961 High School Week Volleyball Game

In the volleyball picture, it could be Don Ray doing the "spike" and Dick Thayer defending. I think Frank Bush is the person behind Dick.

Corn Eating Contest 1960 Jr. Hi Week

In first corn-eating contest picture, the second boy, in dark shirt is Robbie Schreiber and the girl is Cindy Harden. Notice the "H" on her blouse? "Initial blouses" were all the rage then!

In the second picture, notice off to the left, a smiling Dan Williams ( I love that picture, it is the Dan we all remember! I can just hear his laugh!) and to his right, in dark blouse, is Nancy Spratt.

There is a boy way in the back, right, with a white hat and t-shirt on. I think that is Lew Williams.

And there is a darkhaired woman leaning out, looking down the table. I think that is Betty Schreiber, Robbie's mom.

1954 HS Group Shot

This 1954 High School group was shot by Wilson Wiseman. This was the year that Frank Bush served as Vesper Speaker. Bushes lived in Catlin at the time. Mike was just a baby, Paula 2 years old, and the family spent most of the time at Elams. 1:1 Claudia Price 1:7 Dennis Corley (The last time Frank saw him he was preaching in the Quincy area.) 2:3 Mrs. Elliot 2:4 Dean Elliot (at Herrick at the time). 2:5 Dean Schrumpf, 2:6 Ruth Schrumpf, 2:7 Mrs. Bartlett (she worked for Chr Standard and attended many camps) 2:8 Charley Wogman 2:10 Mark Weaver 2:11 Kay Hutchinson. 3:1 Frank Bush 3:4 Janet Elam 3:5 Doris Corbus, 3:6 Lana Tevis 3:8 Marlyce Elam 3:9 Alice Schroeder 4:3 Don Ray 4:11 Buddy Wisinger 4:12 Elmer McKean, 4:15 Tom McKean, 4:16 Roland Hurbert

From Frank: "Roger Elliot was the preacher at Herrick. He invited me to preach at a men's meeting in the spring of 1955. It was there that the pulpit committee from Greenville interviewed me."

1954 Group Shot

Anyone else want to weigh in?

Speaking of the raft...

On the diving tower we have Alice Schroeder, Janet Elam and Norman Ray. This particular raft model was fun, but unfortunately short-lived because of the stability of the raft.

1960 High School pics

Being dean was tough on Gil Schreiber.

I'm not sure about Charlie Greer's box hockey technique. Bill Griffin is other box hockey player.

Boys dorm. In boys dorm picture Larry Wisely is shirtless boy in front of mirror, tall guy is Larry Dickey, Fred McKean is the boy in a dark shirt in middle of picture and Joe Feher is behind looking over Fred's right shoulder.

Another memory from everybody's favorite life guard... The scene in the boys dorm: The great big guy is Larry Dickey. Larry was from either Flora or Fairfield, I don’t remember which. He was Bill Stark’s nephew and would often come to camp during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Fred McKean is also in that picture.

Larry, Fred, Norman Ray, and I had what was called the “Coke Bottle Quartet”. We would all wear suits. I would open the bottle of coke then hand it to Norman. Norman would hold it up to the light and examine it for color, then for aroma. Norman would then hand it to Larry who would chug it (very, very fast—faster than it could be poured out onto the ground. We timed it. He deployed some sort of sucking method). The finale was that Fred McKean would belch loudly into a microphone. It was, as I recall, a very popular performance.

Margaret Couvey (married Jack Ross).

Russell Ross fishing on the new lake.

One of 4 -- a Life Recruit Week, 1958

Must be a very early week -- the pics were in teams like this rather than the whole week together. Recognize anyone? These rows are a little hard to follow -- let's see this as three rows, the first starting with the girl in the flowered skirt, the second with the tall girl in the light dress on her left and behind, and the third mostly guys.

(Published from comments and an email from Mike Heston) 1:4 June Huck (?); 1:6 girl w/ glasses is Lois Corbus; 2:4 striped shirt, Ron Holtzhauer; 3:1 Norman Ray, 3:2 Gerald Greenlee, 3:4 Gilbert Schreiber, 3:5 Mary Kinney, 3:7 Charlie Greer

1959 campers again - color this time

Frank had this marked as 1959. Help us identify everyone?

Sandi Rinderer issues some help ...Mike (Heston)is on the right end in the back row. In the middle you can see a partially obscured guy, that is Norman Ray, I'd recognize that flat-top anywhere! Both of them of course, from Greenville. The girl in the front, blond with glasses is Madyline Franklin. She was from Bethalto. The boy on the right end,of front row, is Don Neer from Greenville. June Huck is second from left.
