(From The Weekly Messenger, November 9, 2005 - By W. Sutherland and C. Windmiller) On September first, thirty boys swung into good hard practice with real spirit. Among these were ten-letterman: Co-captains Ralph and Galloway, Sutton, Quiller, Kinscherff, Shaw, Conner, Goodin, Clendenny and Grady. Conditions looked very favorable for the blue and gold for ’41. The picture from the 1942 Pleasant Hill year book shows the 1941 football team, which won the schools’ first ever football trophy by becoming the I.V.Y. Co. Champs in 1941. The photo was sent by Hurley Sutton who sent us his school sweater about a month ago. Hurley says, “I think it would be nice if the 1941 team be remembered not only for their accomplishment on the football field but also their contribution in W.W. II. “Junior players in that team-Conner, Barton, Weir, Miller, Shaw and Sutter were drafted out of high school. After the war Junior Jim Shaw returned to star at the U of I and Western for four years. Coach Crosby, later in his career, was inducted into the Illinois Coaches Hall of Fame.” Pleasant Hill 1949 - Contributed by Billie Browning FRONT ROW: JACK SITTON, MILDRED RALPH ATOR, JACK THOMAS, BETTE SMITH BARTON, BILLIE G BROWNING, DORIS GARRISON BARTON, DEWEY DAVIS 2ND ROW: CAROL LONG TRAVENIER, PATSY HOWDESHELL WINTJEN, SHIRLEY PENN SUHLING, PAULINE SMITH ZUMWALT, JOANN DELONG BARTON, JUNE THOMAS SPRINGER, DORIS FRANKLIN WOMBLES, BERNICE BALL HAGEN 3RD ROW: LEONA PRESTON FOX, TWILA EWERS ZUMWALT, HERVAL BALL, RUTH KEHART SMITH, DALE GLADDEN, J D YOKEM, WILMA REEVES KNIGHT 4TH ROW: VIRGINIA GOODIN DAVIDSON, PHYLLIS YOKEM TAYLOR, LOUISE CLARK GUTHRIE, CHARLES FOILES, JAMES BALL, CARL OGLE
