Our commanding officers the first year were Capt., Patsy Farris: First Lieutenant Kerman Andrews, and Second Lieutenant, Helen Keithley with Mr. McNeeley as our orderly. We were taught to aim high, shoot straight, and move forward. The latter part of May we received our first furlough.from General Dechow and Major-General Hall. We did not return until September 5, 1939. We were put under the command of Captain Helen Keithley, First Lt. Betty Huston, and Second Lt. Dean Johnson. Mr. Scott was our orderly and we were advanced to cor- porals. We gave a welcome party for the new recruits. Frances Briggs, Robert Hainline, Juanita Henry, Verta Lee Zim erman, Kenneth Homan, Betty Marsden, Clyde Moughler and Ralph Oberman were transferred. Marjorie Carty and Margaret Cary enlisted with us. After many hard fights and uphill battles we survived and received another leave in May. Returning to duty September l, l94O, we put on a long drill and review, WOh, Susan,' for the public and superior officers. This year our Captain was Betty Huston with Robert Jones as First Lieutenant and Helen Keithley as Second Lieutenant. Miss Hargrove and Miss Kimbrough were our orderlies. After receivingnMmc:Nmipc3 we were now looked upon as Sergeants. Those transferred this year were Sterling Adams, Kerman Andrews, Phyllis Brown, Kenneth Likes, Caroline Kimler, and Rawlciigh Smith. Our new recruits were Helen Chenoweth, John Cur- less, Mary Harper, Betty Miller, Paul York, HalfordY dg Bill Thompson, Jerry Stewart, and Gene Stewart. In the spring we gave a banquet for the older soldiers of the Blandinsville High School Army who were to receivetheir papers of Honorable Discharge. Our third furlough came in May. Returning to duty September l, 1941, there were forty-two of the original forty-eight, additional recruits being Viana Veff, Mildred Shumate, Dorothey Hardy, Meredith Bright, Bill Hungate,Gerald Campbell and Lester Foote. Soon after taking' up our duties we had three deserters, Evelyn Allen, Marjorie Th- omas, and Bill Stewart. On November 18, l94l,we put on our final drill and special review, nTh6'RGdhCLEv ed Stepchild,W under command of Wilcox and Gordon. We shall receive our Honorable Discharge in May 1942, after having put in four years of good train- ing under General Dechow and Major Hall. Major Hall left us and was replaced by Major Davis. As weleave this training camp to venture further into the great unknown we feel that we shall be more able toshouldl er our guns and to march forward to success.

Then as it faded from my view I saw a large tent. Why it was a circus tent! -- and there in the center ring presiding over it was the.ring leader, Lloyd Sandstrom. And here comes the parade! I look closely and sure enough that lady bare-back rider is Patsy Farris. If you want to write your Congressman you'll have to address your letters to either Max Lober or Donald Shugart. They've made the Wold home townn proud of them and I hear they are helping Blandinsvillefs new mayor Halford York, as he attempts to change the old Blandinsville College into a University. As the Blandinsville College flashes before my eyes I see the Commercial professor, Ralph Killip and the Professor of Science, Paul York. As I watch a large Greyhound bus comes speeding down the highway with none other than Wayne Allen at the controls. I Suddenly a mansion comes into sight. The door opens and a butler steps back. Doesn't he look familiar? Where have I seen that face before? Why of course it's Donald Brandon. Two ladies stand before him and of course, I remember those two society girls as Mary Harper and Marjorie Randall. They go in to meet the owner of the mansion and here we find Marlise Buttemiehi another school mate. I see a richly furnished office with Donald Roberts president of a chain of grocery stores, dictating to his secretary, Margaret Cary. In an office in the same building I see another familiar face. Viana Veff tells me she is secretary to the rich banker, Robert Jones. They say his income is estimated in the millions. . '74 ..Q tw E? ji Z. .S vhv This quietness is suddenly broken by a roar. I find myself in a crowd of people watching an auto race. Don't I recognize one of those daredevil drivers? Why, yes, that's Lynn Shanholtzer. The scene changes and I see a platform and the principal speaker is none other than that greatest politician of the day, Richard Banks. On the side I see a flash of red hair and recognize, Mildred Shumate, Riohard's able assistant. I also notice on the program that, Gerald Ruth is to speak, but I must hurry on so-- Ship Ahoy! Come aboard lads! are the cries I hear and there going up the gang plank are Zane Allen and Harry Hardisty, newly enlisted sailors. I next find myself in.a noisy newspaper office and at a desk marked EDITOR sits Dean Johnson busilyanswer- ing telephones,dictating to his secretary,etc.,butI1find he can always find time to have a few words with the cute Society Editor, Betty Taylor. The noise of the news roomy vanishes and a quiet church appears. The minister, another class mate,Vernon Stout. 'Listening with rapt attention is the renowned attorney, Willis Meek. The scene shifts to a cozy little apartment 'where an artist is busy at work. As I look more closely I recognize Marjorie Carty. There is a knock on the door and another familiar face appears. It is Florabelle Herzog, who has dropped in to tell about her new book she has just started. I hear her name has been mentioned for an award as the best novelist of the year. suddenly there is a deafening roar and I lookout the window in time to see Helen Keithley as she sweeps low in her airplane. With a flash a football field springs into view. Y? in YELLY dm 1 ' s Egllinkj 'ln Ai 'hu' , I learn a hard-fought game has just been played and the score has ended in a tie. As the two coaches meet to shake hands, I recognize them as, Bill Hungate and Meredith Bright. As the scene changes with several bee hives. appears on boxes of honey I see a man in a mask working It is James Gordon whose name all over the country. A large restaurant appears and the famed ballroom dancers are none other than Gerald Campbell and his partner Helen Chenoweth. to see them and they tell at an Army Camp. ,In the Runner, an officers wife. This vision vanishes room and the surgeon is Marthabel Bice. Several in the Medical Journal.

It is Dorothy Hardy, telling fortunes. As the time is passing rapidly I get in my ear and start home. Surely I didn't run that last stop light, but there is a policeman's whistle. I stop and look around. Why the policeman coming toward me is noneothm! than Lester Foote, Jr. He recognizes me as Betty Huston and doesnft give me a ticket because I never stop for signs anyway. fn. i 4st Jumon-semen BANQUET The Junior-Senior Banquet was held in the ZHigh School Gymnasium, May 9, 1941.

It has had the most successful year in all sports that Blandinsville has ever known. In football the squad went undefeated until the last game which they lost to Roseville. This gave them a record of eight wins out of nine games which is one of the best records our school has ever had. Although the baCKfield was a good combination and were excellent runners, passers, and punters, the line should be given a great deal of credit. The squad scored 154 points to the opponents 49, which shows the line did their part in playing a good defensive game while the backfield was doing their part scoring. Of the total of l34 points made against 49 of the opponents, the team made 20 touchdowns against the opponent's S3 also they made 14 conversions against one of opponents. The Blandinsville team held the opponent scoreless in 4 games while they were only held score- less once. The team consisted of 14 Seniors of whom 8 were regulars. The other three were Juniors. Regular lineup was as follows: L.E. Lynn Shanholtzer Senior L.T. Max Lober Senior L.G. Richard Banks Senior C. Donald Brandon Senior R.G. Relly Fowler Junior R.T. Robert Jones Senior R.E. Donald Shugart Senior Q.B. Zane Allen Senior L.H.B. Richard Hainlinc Junior R.H.B. Wayne Soule Junior F.B. Bill Hungate Senior a s 4 an ' V, va 52' sg The team had Co-Captains this year, Zane Allen and Donald Brandon. At the close of season Relly Fowler was elected for the coming year.
