Gorntnututy School Clay City, OUi+uuA. n a al a —11 WE. THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY ONE. WISH TO DEDICATE THE FOLLOWING PAGES TO THE CLAY CITY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL. AND THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED THEIR TIRELESS EFFORTS IN FORMING THIS GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. The School Building Construction was started on the new Clay City Community High School building September 20, 1938. and was substantially completed by September 5, 1939. at a total cost of $210,000. Of this sum. $185,000 was the cost of the building and $25,000 was used for equipment. The new school building is strictly modern. It has its own sewage system. Every student has a separate locker. Heat and ventilation are thermostatically controlled. Lighting throughout the classrooms is Semi-direct. The study hall has indirect lighting. The windows in every room are equipped with metal Venetian blinds and movie projectors may be used in every room. Each room has a clock operated from the large electric clock in the office. The Public Address System permits communication between the office and any part of the school building. Radio programs or phonograph records may be transmitted to any room or group of rooms from the office. Each room has pictures and is light and cheerful. The American flag is displayed in every classroom as well as in the gym and the study hall. The building is a beautiful, impressive structure of tan brick, and is built entirely on the ground. It is unusual in its construction. No wood has been used except in the top gym floor, case work, doors, and trim. The rest of the building, including the roof, is of brick, steel, or concrete. The structure is fire proof and tornado resistant. It is safe and adequate and will be a civic center and pride of the community for generations to come. The school offers courses in Shop. Agriculture. Music. Home Economics. Commerce, and Physical Education, as well as all the basic college preparatory courses. Clay City Community High School is recognized by the State Department of Instruction and the University of Illinois. It is one of the finest of its size in the state. The citizens of Clay City and the School Board are to be congratulated for the civic-mindedness and progressive spiwi they displayed in erecting this beautiful school building. It is the wisest and most important step this community has taken in years. It is the medium through which the boys and girls of this community will be better fitted to lead successful lives and uphold the ideals of our nation. Much credit should also be given to our principal. Mr. J. H. Cherry, who took an active part in the construction of the high school. Much of the success of the project is due to his tireless and conscientious management of the numerous details'which are so important. We. speaking for the whole community, express our gratitude to him. The Ctaytoninn—Pny tiro E. Weiler H. J. Bokenkamp w. Duff w. Dewhirst L. Clark President Secretary BOARD OF EDUCATION Every member of the board served on the Steering Committee which led the campaign to form a Community High School District in the spring of 1937. A proposition to establish a Community High School District, carried an election on April 17. 1937. by a vote of 547 to 176. On May 1. 1937. the following board for the new District was elected without a dissenting vote: Eugene Weiler. Ernest Hosselton. Willard R. Dewhirst. H. J. Bokenkamp. and J. W. Duff. At the organization meeting held on May 3. 1937, Eugene Weiler was elected president, and H. J. Bokenkamp. secretary, which offices have remained unchanged to the present time. There was a meeting held on March 3. 1938. At this time the board issued a call for an election to erect a new school building. This election, held on March 21. 1938. carried by a vote of 392 to 61. In April. 1938. Ernest Hosselton resigned from the Board of Education, and Lewis Clark was appointed to fill the vacancy. Since that time, membership on the Board has remained unchanged. On May 19. 1938. the Board of Education made application to the Government for a PWA grant, totaling $76,090.00. This grant was made by the Government on July 17. On September 6. 1938. bids on the building designed by Royer. Danley B Davis of Urbana were taken. Contracts were awarded to the Contracting Corporation. Evansville, Indiana, and E. B. Thompson of Christopher. Illinois. The Board of Education has faithfully executed its responsibility in providing its housing for the student enrollment and in furnishing excellent education equipment. It offers transportation to rural students and has a well balanced program. It has consistently lived within its financial limits and its policies have created substantial savings, leaving the District in sound condition for any future eventuality.

Telephone ringing, buzzers ringing, radio giving broadcasts, people callng on Mr. Cherry on business, and pupils asking important questions all form the routine of an ordinary day in this room. The clock is probably one of the most delicate devices and probably the most important we have. It is automatic and rings every forty minutes. It has a buzzer attached to it which can be set to ring at any given time. The office also has a public address system. If one desires to communicate with one of the rooms this system will permit both speaking and listening. The office also has a file which contains records and grades of every student who has attended this school. The public address system also contains a radio which can be used by any room at any time. It is used for broadcasts in History classes, telling about the war problems and the current events of the United States. It is used in the Home Economics room for students who take Cooking. Sewing, and Home Management. The radio also has an automatic record-changer for playing ten to twelve recordings. We feel that our office is one of the most up-to-date in the state. We are proud of the various automatic mechanisms which help to regulate our school life. I au � vif— The Claytonian Reception Room The Reception Room adjoins the office on the north. All callers are received here. It is the room in which Mr. Cherry's secretary works. The fireproof safe is built into the northwest corner of the Reception Room. In it arc kept class and club money boxes, attendance records, student permanent record, school financial record, activities fund record, educational program files of prior years, educational program file. English Department library reading record, candy and candy sales for the band. The Supply Room is off the southeast corner of the Reception Room. In it are kept all necessary school supplies. Opposite the Supply Room in the northeast corner is a Faculty Men's locker room and rest room. The school paper is typed, duplicated, and assembled in the Reception Room. The duties of the student office assistants, who work in the Reception Room, are: to take all phone calls, check attendance record, introduce callers, type letters, grade papers, and help the school secretary in every way possible. 1 he secretary is Bessie Lois Holman. There are eight assistants, and each one has a certain period to work. The assistants are: Donna Jean Cramer. Thelma Haines. Peggy Acklin. Vera Mae Edmiston. Norman Hesser, Betty Jean Holman. Delphine Ewald. and Ray Hall. The CUtytonian—Pag nix The Industrial Arts Department The industrial arts department is the latest addition to the high school. The activities carried on in this department include work in electricity, forge work, sheet metal, arc welding, bench wood work, wood turning, and auto mechanics. In making their projects the students use many tools and machines, some of which are a jig saw, wood lathe, band saw. drill press, circular saw. emery wheel, sander. arc welder, and forge. Recently the shop acquired a 1932 model Chevrolet engine, which will be used in the auto mechanics area in studying the functions of the different parts of the automobile engine. Many different types of projects are made, some of which are end tables, magazine racks, book ends, table lamps, electric motors, tool boxes, metal funnels. pin trays, clevises, and a hog feeder. This work involves such processes as gluing, planing, finishing, riveting, soldering, sanding, tool dressing, and sketching. Originality of design is stressed in sketching the various projects to be made. Another activity of the department is the maintenance of equipment in other departments. The second year students constructed window screens for the entire building. This job made use of mass production methods which are used in industrial plants. The interest of the industrial arts students is shown in the fact that they spend much of their spare time working in the shop. Paye ueren—The Clnytonian Home Living and Clothing Centers An important part in the training of the future homemaker is actual experience in furniture arrangement and cleaning methods, and an insight into problems of family relations. The Home Living Center in the Homemaking Room is easily adaptable to informal discussions and demonstrations of these problems. It is furnished with green leather and chromium sofa and chairs, and refractory table for special” dinners, and an Axminster carpet in group tones of dark wine color. The Clothing Center is equipped with both electric and treadle sewing machines, sewing tables, cutting table, and built-in ironing board and cleaning cupboards. Here the student may learn proper construction methods and study fabrics as well as other phases of clothing. A built-in triple mirror is valuable in learning how to solve fitting problems. Each student keeps her individual equipment in a tote box which she may store in the drawer cabinet when not being used. The sewing tables have false drawers into which these tote boxes may be housed when they are needed during class. A Roll Away bed furnishes opportunity for learning how to make beds and demonstrating problems concerned with home nursing. The Claytanian Paye eight Food Preparation Center Because the homemaker prepares whole meals rather than parts of meals, it seems only right that the future homemaker can learn best by following her mother's example. For this reason family groups are formed in each class so that we may more nearly have a home situation in the class room. In the Food Preparation Center there are four family-size kitchens, complete with stove, breakfast table and chairs, sink, linoleum top working surfaces. and cabinets, which house cooking utensils to serve a family. The two gas and two electric stoves are four different makes so that the student may learn to operate more than one make of stove, and so that she may discover the advantages and disadvantages of more than one fuel. Larger cooking utensils and additional chinaware are housed in a storage room behind the kitchens where also there are cabinets for storing canned foods, and illustrative materials. There, also, is a cabinet for keeping the student's uniforms and a cabinet for miscellaneous supplies. The cabinet file in the foreground of the picture is for bulletins and recipes which the students may use as reference material. The electric refrigerator in the center of the laboratory keeps perishable foods fresh: staples are stored in the cupboards in the background of the picture. I'aye nint 7 hr Claytonian The Library The library is located in the southern part of the study hall. It has three tables, nineteen chairs, a reference shelf, book shelves, and a large magazine rack. The room is so arranged as to enable students using library or reference books to sit at the tables, and those using non-library books to sit at the desks in the study hall. There are 48 magazines, and 1 800 books in the library, listed under twenty-five department groups. These departments are: American. English, French, and Miscellaneous Literature: Poetry and Literature: Critical Works on English and Grammar: Drama: European and American History: Biography: Autobiography: Sociology: Economics and Government: Industrial Arts: Home Economics: Agriculture: Natural Science: Commerce: Chemistry: Physics and General Science: Mathematics: Physical Education: Education: Philosophy and Geography. A list of new books were purchased this year. Some of these were: a complete set of Encyclopaedia Britannica: Who’s Who In America. 1918-1939: eight volumes on Nations of the World: one hundred books distributed among English. Agriculture. Science. Industrial Arts, and Home Economics. There are eighty picture rolls in the library. There are three catalogue indexes for title cards, author cards, and subject cards. Eleven librarians take care of the library, each one working at a certain time during the day. These student librarians are Mary Frances Wilson. Kathryn Hohlbauch. Wilma Lutz. Orpha Lee Kelley, Lois Pierce. Maxine Pierce. Ada Fern Stanford. Evelyn Holmes. Bill Shock. Genelle Pearce, and Ines Sanders. The ('laytonian—Paye ten Science Room Here work is done in Chemistry. Physics. Biology, and General Science classes. The above picture shows the Chemistry class at work with Mr. Shafer as instructor. The class is performing many different kinds of experiments such as: preparation of hydrogen, preparation of oxygen, making different kinds of solutions, and filtering solids from liquids. Many different kinds of experiments can be performed in this laboratory, such as: electrolysis, crystalizing one substance from another, and testing solution to find whether or not it contains certain elements. The room is ideally equipped for cither demonstration, group, or individual laboratory methods of performing experiments. The demonstration method is employed in two large General Science classes. In the physics class most of the work is performed by the students in groups of two. There are gas and running water at each desk. Articles of interest may reach the classes by means of the bulletin board. We also have an aquarium containing goldfish. Magazines and reference books are on the shelves for use in the four Science classes. Biology class, instructed by Miss Harris, has been trying to learn the different kinds of trees and bugs and examining small organisms through the microscope. They have gone on a few field trips and brought back specimens of fungi, plants, leaves, and bug collections to be studied. Vayt rlerrn—Thr Clay Ionian The Agriculture Department Several improvements have been made since the above picture was taken. The walls are now covered with pictures from the various breed associations and other sources, which aid in making agriculture more helpful and interesting to the students. One of the most conspicuous objects found upon the east wall is an F. F. A. banner in its national colors. A magazine rack in which twenty-four different magazines are stored was completed in the farm shop class and stands along the east wall. This gives the student access to the more recent articles in agriculture and related subjects. The cabinets along the east wall provide space for about three thousand pamphlets, circulars, and bulletins. These serve not only as reference material but many are used as text material. Two drawers in the east cabinet provide space for free reference material which is being enlarged continuously. Two filing cabinets in the south end of the room provide additional bulletins for study and reference. A twenty-foot table has been placed along the west wall. This is provided with four drawers for storage space, while the top of the table may be used for microscopic work, grading seed, testing soil, and many other operations. At one end of the table is a Babcock tester and a small cabinet which houses the equipment used in testing milk and cream. The storage room provides space for equipment used in testing soil for calcium. phosphorus, and potassium, equipment for vaccinating, and many other things. The Claytonion—Pane tirelre The Furnace Room The furnace in the furnace room is automatically run with fuel oil: thus furnishing the school with a hot water ystem. There are five heating units in the entire building. The first unit is located in the shop: the second unit, in the south wing: the third, in the front wing: the fourth, in the north wing: and the fifth, in the gymnasium. There is a thermostat in each unit which is operated by automatic air pressure. thus causing the pumps to stop running when the water becomes a certain temperature. The aquastat. which shuts the oil burner, is located on the boiler. Air can be pumped out of each room at the rate of 10 cubic feet per minute. The ventilating system can be used to completely change the temperature of a room in three minutes. The ventilating system in the gymnasium pumps hot air in at the top. and cold air out at the bottom. When the temperature exceeds 68 F.. the ventilators open and foul air is pumped out and fresh air is pumped in. The hot water system was chosen because hot water is 20 per cent more efficient than steam and 7 per cent more efficient than hot air. Fuel oil costs about the same as coal, but janitor costs are less. The building is so equipped that air-conditioning may be installed if it is desired. Paye thirteen—The Olaytonian English Room In the English Department of the Clay City Community High School you will find Miss Harris and Miss Dunn. Miss Dunn teaches English I. and Miss Harris. English II. III. and IV. This room is typical of the other classrooms of the building. There are cabinet files in which you can find supplementary equipment including magazines. newspaper clippings, pictures, teacher aids, and English reference books. Bulletin boards are on the front and east side of the room containing interesting articles and clippings pertaining to English. In English I, under the instructor. Miss Dunn, pupils learn the fundamentals of English. Workbooks are used to improve sentence structure and the use of good English. English II class, under the instructor. Miss Harris, gives oral talks before the class so it will be able to talk before groups and overcome nervousness. English III class, also under the instructor. Miss Harris, studies American Literature. 1 he course also contains oral book reports, workbooks, and speech work. T hen. last but not least, we shall mention English IV which is supposed to have accomplished everything possible in the study of English. Whether or not they have is the question? ? ? This course contains a little essay writing, speech work, and English History. We think that although this room is no larger than the others, it should be the most important. The Clou ton inn—Pn ye fourteen Band The band was organized four years ago. New members and new instruments have been added each year. There are now thirty-six members in the band. We were able this year to obtain our long-sought uniforms, of which we are very proud. The band made their first appearance in their uniforms during the M. T. C. T ourney. Mr. Fiorentine is to be highly praised for the improved work which has been done. The members of the band arc: Clarinets: Feme Holman. Betty Jayne Story. Leatrice Miley. Raymond Skelton. Evelyn Holmes. Joan Robinson. Martha Acklin. Vernell Ewald. Mildred Hubble. Anna Mae Love. Betty June Payne. Emma Jean Axhelm. Trumpets: Ronald Heninger. Billy Joe Labadie. J. D. Dewhirst.

The officers of the Clay City Chapter of F. F. A. for the year of 1940-41 are Robert Hunley. president: Thomas Flexter. vice-president: Leland Miller, secretary: Raymond Skelton, watch dog: Robert Turner, treasurer: and Mr. Petty, adviser. The F. F. A. has a membership of 23 members holding the green hand degree. As there are several degrees to be achieved, we expect many of our members to progress very rapidly. Officers are elected each year and serve during the current year. There are several committees, and each committee is made up of three boys, one acting as chairman. Some of our committees are program, athletic, advertisement, refreshment. project, and landscaping. The organization meets twice each month, one meeting of which is held at night, and the other during the activities period. At the beginning of the school year the chapter formulated a program of work. The program was composed of the following major divisions: (1) supervised farming: (2) cooperation: (3) community service: (4) leadership: (5) earnings and savings: (6) conduct of meetings: (7) scholarship: (8) recreation; and (9) general. One of the most important achievements of the program of work this year was the sponsoring of the first apple judging contest in the state. Another worthwhile achievement was the sponsoring of Hybrid Corn Night in which interesting talks were given which enabled the farmers of the district to learn the importance of raising hybrid corn and to learn its history. The members feel that they have taken a step toward the achievement of their motto, which is as follows: “Learning to do. . . Doing to learn. . . Earning to live. . . Living to serve.

Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club is one of the most active organizations of the school. Any girl enrolled in one of the three Home-making classes or who has previously taken Home-making is eligible to be a member. New members are initiated into the club with a ceremony held in the fall of each year. Meetings are held in the Home-making room on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month during the activity period. Special meetings are also called at the request of the president. The programs are planned by a group of girls and everyone takes part some time during the year. The Home Economics Club cooperates with the Woman's Club and the Chamber of Commerce in the United Charity drive each Christmas The club serves a banquet to the Chamber of Commerce once each month. The members cooperate with other organizations in various civic affairs. Some time during the year a Mother-Daughter Banquet is held. The club sponsors other activities to raise money. This year the girls will sponsor a Post-Easter Dance. The themes for this year's programs are Hobbies and Entertaining. The officers for this year are: President. Betty Harbin: vice-president. Mary Frances Wilson: secretary-treasurer. Leatrice Miley: program chairman, Wilma Lutz. Each year the club sends the three highest officers as delegates to the Convention of the Illinois Home Economics Association. Their expenses are paid out of the Home Economics Club treasury. The club has been recognized as one of the most active in the district and will strive to hold this place. The club motto is: “Success comes in Cans and failure comes in Can'ts ' The colors are blue and gold. Page eeeenieen—The ClaytoniaH Middle Rou.'—Mr. Shafer. Winchester. Crackel. Payne. Hall. Warren.

Basketball Team This year's team played 35 games during the season including tournament games. Of this number, they won all but five. They have scored a total of 1 425 points while our opponents have made 865. We have averaged 40.7 points per game and our opponents 24.43. The Clay City team won a Blind Tourney at Noble on New Year's Day. We won the M. T. C. Tourney at Clay City January 30. 31. and February 1. The team has a perfect record in winning all of their conference games. Out of the 35 games, three were lost to Flora, one to Paris, and one to Mt. Carmel. The team has been slowed down a lot by sickness and accidents throughout the season. One member of our team has won state-wide recognition by his scoring ability. He ranks second in the state with 5 1 3 points in 30 games. We are especially proud of one of our trophies which is a sportsmanship trophy presented to us by the Clay County Advocate for showing the best sportsmanship at the Midland Trail Tourney. Clay City played in the Regional Tournament at Flora, where they won second place. This gave them the chance to play in the State Sectional at Law-renceville where they lost the first game to Mt. Carmel in a closely fought contest. Losing just two players, the team looks forward to a great season next year. Thr Ctaytonian Pnyr riyhtrrn 0 Commercial Rooms These rooms are so equipped that one teacher may teach two classes at one time. This is made possible by a glass partition between the two rooms. Room 1 9 is the Mechanical Drawing room. General Business is also taught in here by Mr. Wheatley. Industrial Arts is taught by Mr. Petersen. There are 18 mechanical drawing desks. Room 20 is the Typing room. In this room are combination desks. They can be opened up. displaying the typewriter when ready for use. When they are closed they are junior office desks. There are 22 typewriters. 12 of which are Royals, and 10 Underwoods. For this reason a student learns to operate two different kinds of typewriters. Mr. Wheatley teaches three typing classes, bookkeeping, and stenography in room 20. Stenography consists of shorthand one period five days a week and typing one period three days a week. Both rooms have built-in cabinets. In room 19 they are used for industrial art equipment and in room 20 for typing books. There arc built-in drawers and shelves in which supplies arc kept. Each room is equipped with blackboards and a bulletin board. This year we have 1 13 pupils in all the commercial subjects. Page nineteen—The Clngtonian The Gymnasium In the rear center of our building is located the gymnasium. It will comfortably seat five hundred on the bleachers: an additional three hundred may be seated on the movable bleachers on the stage. Besides being used for basketball games, the gym is much in demand for community affairs as well as serving its purpose in connection with the school. Under the bleachers is located the varsity dressing room, while under the stage we have the girls' dressing room on the west, and the boys' physical education dressing room on the east. Each dressing room is complete with showers, lockers, lavatory, and other facilities that go to make up a complete dressing room. On the floor, courts for lawn and paddle tennis, volleyball, and badminton are marked off. On the north and south sides of the floor are shuffle-board courts. We also have a large supply of game equipment to be used in the gym. The games that we have and that are used in the gym classes are: softball, volleyball, basketball, gym drills, apparatus (consisting of high and low parallel bars, spring board, high horse, and stall bars), tumbling, pyramids, badminton. boxing, golf, handball, shuffle-board, and tennis. We believe that our gym is near perfection, and we are very proud of it. The Clayianian—Page twenty s R S E N I 0 Peggy Acklin A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Claytonian Staff After many class meetings and discussions, the class of 1941 decided upon editing a Dedication Book to the building and those who were connected with its founding and growth. The class then decided upon the duties of the various staff members and. after some consideration, chose the following staff: H. F. Davis, adviser: Genelle Pearce and Norman Hesser. editors-in-chief: Thelma Haines and Ray Hall, sales managers: Donna Cramer, advertising manager: Bill Shock and Verl Barnes, photographic editors: Bob Turner, sports editor: Del-phine Ewald. Maxine Wise, and Peggy Acklin. typists. The staff has worked earnestly and efficiently in order that they might have all their copy finished at an early date, thereby insuring early delivery. The staff asked several printing and publishing companies to submit bids for the completed books. The staff feels that they have shown good judgment in their selection. We hope the citizens of this community enjoy and cherish this Dedication Book and through it will see more than just a building in the Clay City Community High School.
