THE CATLINEAN Page Five In the Fall the school campus looked among one of the most beautiful in the state. The new trees set out the spring before, together with the older ones, formed a perfect frame for the school building. After the few weeks of late summer were past the campus appeared as bright and colorful as carnival grounds. Most of the trees lost their leaves gradually, excepting the Maiden's Hair trees, which shed their leaves in a day. September saw the school term begin, and after a few interruptions because of the hot weather it really began in earnest. Class elections and the annual elec- tion of the Athletic Board were held in the first week. An initiation, well planned by the Sophomores, welcomed the Freshmen, new students, and new teachers into the school. Quite a number of the Freshman boys were seen practicing on the football field along with the upper classmen. The Homecoming game and dance, along with the preparation for the carni- val, kept all spare time and energy used up during October. The band took to marching, led by a drum majorette and two baton twirlers, while the football team won over Ridgefarm 6 to 0. With the football season closed, the Sopho- more Saps and the Freshman Flops played a grudge battle. The Freshies lost 6 to 12. November 9 was the biggest day in that month. Days of advertising, prac- ticing, and work came to an end in a successful carnival. The basketball team in the new suits bought by the carnival proceeds opened the season with a victory over Potomac. The Juniors worked hard on the annual junior play which was given in December. 4 THE CATLINEAN C. F. BURRIS R. IMZNTLEY R. R. RUSSELL F. COLLINS H. RYIQRLY W. DOLAN E. Jonas C. MCGEE BOARD OF EDUCATION The lloard of Education is often overlooked when credit is given at the end of a successful school term. However, we, The Seniors of l940 , wish to thank the lloard of Education for the cooperation and tine spirit they have shown in helping us through four years of high school. VVe could always depend on them to assist us in anything which we set out to do. Since our lloard of Education believes in a well-et ui ned buildinn' and Hood l ri b teachers our school has the best there is to be had, and has acquired a high standard. Not only Seniors, hut the faculty and student hody also, appreciate all that the lloard of Education has done and is still doing for us. Page Six THE CATLINWEAN HERMAN F.

In 1939 they entered some tifty strong and well-spirited pupils. 'lihey were dif- ferent from most freshmen for they entered school activities with real spirit and enthusiasm. They immediately produced a first class cheer-leader who, with two seniors, helped support the varsity throughout the year. Also they had a good many boys out for football and basketball, who with a little training, give promise of being among the top players of the county in a few years. And also, their queen must not be forgotten for whom they worked diligently in hope that she would rule the carnival. Although she did not win, she finished a close second. You see them all sizes-but every one of them seems to be busy at something or other. Of course, they need a little Hripeningu but they will really be an asset to the school in later years.

In their first class meeting the Sophomores elected john Kelly, President: Jackie Pate, Vice-President, Ray Hall, Secretary-Treasurerg and Mr. l-lrackney, Sponsor. The school was given a real entertainment when the Sophomores initiated the Freshmen and the new faculty members in the usual manner. VVe have yet to learn whether the audience or the Freshmen had more fun on this eventful day. The Sophomores were represented well in all the music organizations. Soph- omores were to be found doing their share in the Boys' Glee Club, Girls, Glee Club, Orchestra, Hand, and Raton Twirlers' Class, They helped greatly in mak- ing the operetta a big success. The class won recognition by supporting its carnival queen candidate, Audrey Gilliland, exceptionally well, and it was by their effort that she was elected to the throne. Sophomores participated in all the sports of Catlin High, too. They saw serv- ice on the football field, the basketball tloor, the wrestling mat, and the track. VVe expect quite a number of this class to make Catlin proud of their athletic prowess before they graduate. llecause they are a willing, industrious class we are proud they are part of our school, and wish them the best of luck in their next two years in Catlin High School.

Miss llrockmiller has taught and led this band very successfully for two years. A class of llaton Twirlers was organized at the first of the year, from which two llaton rllwirlers, Mary Mesich and Mary Alice VVilliams, and a drum major- ette, Henrietta lflarkman, were selected to precede and direct the marching band in their blue and white satin uniforms at their appearance on the Held at the Home- coming Football game with Ridgefarm. The band and Miss llrockmiller have participated in the following events: the junior Play, playing over VVDAN, the Senior Play, i11 a concert i11 the spring, and also at most of the pep meetings given this year. From the operetta proceeds, Miss Broclcmiller expects to buy new band uni- forms. Page Fourteen THE CATLINEAN Page Fiftecn CATLINEAN STAFF The third successful edition of the Catlinean was published by the class of l940, helped by the Junior staff. This is the second year that Mr. llrackney has been the adviser for the annual staff, and both annuals have been a testimonial to his work. At the first of the year two sides were chosen as the Blues and the VVhites to sell the annuals. The blue side, headed by Joe Pal, won the Contest. Joe, him- self, sold 47 annuals.

The first thing heard was the barker for the Hay-Rack ride. In the lower hall, The Spook House proved to be a hair-raiser. The Penny Pitch board was a place to win pennies Cif you were luckyj, and the Doll Rack attracted many marksmen. sr lc On the main Hoor, the Country Store became the bargain center. The Old Heiddlebergh Inn was a favorite place for resting up, while the German band played old folk songs and the patrons enjoyed light refreshments. Many people attended the Ten Pretty Girls , a Sophomore skit, which became quite popular. In the upper hall, the Bingo Stand , with all its lovely prizes, was crowded every game. Many of the wonders of the world were witnessed in the Freak House . A balloon was given to every person who made a shot in basketball. The main attraction for the dancers at intermission was the Gobblers' Inn and the pop stand both, in their way, refreshment stations. All these things wound up in the dance hall. Dale Laking's Orchestra played in the auditorium decorated with autumn colors and dimmed lights. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the queen. Three weeks pre- vious, each class nominated a queen, and votes were sold until 9 p. m. the night of the carnival. The various classes raffled off coal, turkeys, permanents, cakes, food, and other articles, to take in extra money. All classes showed great enthusiasm in collecting queen votes and putting the carnival over in a big way.

Audrey Gilliland, the Sophomore nominee, was crowned queen, and along with that each girl received gifts. After the girls were honored, an auction sale was held, all the things being donated and very attractive. A door prize was given away, and this ended the sales. Dancing was continued until 12:00 p. m. THE CATLINEAN JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class gave their annual junior Play Wednesday evening, De- cember 6. The event was a huge success and the class was well-pleased with the proceeds. The story took place in the little mining town of Smith's Pocket in the Sierras. George Smith and his young daughter, M'liss, lived there. Smith was known as Hummer , for about the only work he did was to work a small claim occasionally, believing that one day it would yield great wealth. The only one who shared his conhdence was M'liss, and all others jeered at the old man. Unbeknown to Smith, a brother of his died in the East and left Smith his entire fortune. Two schemers from the East arrived in Smith's Pocket fortified with this knowledge and planned to do away with Smith by posing as relatives. Old Smith was killed and the blame was placed on young John Grey, the schoolmaster, with whom M'liss was in love. How M'liss cleared the good name of Grey and outwitted the schemers formed the basis of a thrilling and exciting play. Into the story were woven many colorful characters such as Bess Starlight, a dazzling actress who played havoc with the heart of Yuba Bill, a comic cow- boy: Clytie Moffits, a sweet little mountain rose , who was M'liss rival for the hand of young Greyg Mrs. Moffits, the owner of the Roarin' Dog Hotel , and the extremely amusing Judge McSnaggley, who held an impromptu court in the lobby of the Roarin' Dog Hotel , where the scene was laid. The cast was as follows: George Smith ................ Johnny Mesich M'liss Smith .......... Henrietta Barkman john Grey ................ DeWitt Ellinwood Mrs. Lena Moffits ...... Kathleen Hicks Yuba Bill ............................ Paul Taylor B655 Starlight ................ Mary Hawkins Clara Hunting ........ LaVonne Ferguson Carter Langdon ..............

The Boys' Glee Club, better known as the Boys' Chorus, met at the beginning of the year for an organization meeting to plan the year's work. They elected as officers: Robert McGee, Presidentg Lloyd Puzey, Vice-l'residentg joe Hipple, Librariang Pointsman, Kenneth Keller. Some of the outstanding members of the glee club are also in the mixed chorus. jackie Pate acts as pianist for the lloys' Glee Club. The boys have been having fun practicing on some old familiar songs and Negro spirituals. They all made a very good showing in our operetta, The Magazine Princess , The Boys' Glee Club extend their thanks and appreciation and very best wishes to Miss Rrockmiller. I THE CATLINEAN WINTER See, Winter comes to rule the varied year, Sullen and sad, with all his rising train- Vapors, and clouds, and storms. Be these my themeg These, that exalt the soul to solemn thought And heavenly musing. Welcome, kindred glooms! Congenial horrors, hail! VVith frequent foot, Pleased have I, in my cheerful morn of life, When nursed by careless solitude I lived And sung of Nature with unceasing joy, Pleased have I wandered through your rough domaing Trod the pure virgin-snows, myself as pureg Heard the winds roar, and the big torrent burstg Or seen the deep-fermenting tempest brewed In the grim evening-sky. Thus passed theitime, Till through the lucid chambers of the south Looked out the joyous Spring-looked out and smiled Page Twenty vm-vwrmv vnrw : :1 F ' THE CATLINEAN Page Twenty-one The campus looks more beautiful during the winter season than any other. The ground, covered with snow, makes a very beautiful foreground for the high school. The high school is the center of interest during the basketball season. Cat- lin's winning games outnumbered those lost by a great number. The F. H. A. girls participated by selling pop corn at the home games and the candy girls were always on their j ob. The first ten boys who played basketball went to the regional tourna- ment. They played several games, but were finally defeated. Catlin was proud of their good playing this year. Thanks to Mr. Tedrick. The wrestling boys made a good showing all during the wrestling season. A few of the boys went to the Wrestling Tournament and due to the grand training of Mr. Keeney, they brought back several victories. The F.F.A. boys are an organized group of future farmers. They have in- teresting meetings once every month, consisting of talks, exhibits, periods of en- tertainment, and different sports. They sold garden seeds and also auctioned off a bunch of small chicks, which were donated to them. The money from these went for the Father and Son Banquet given by them in April. The Glee Clubs and orchestra, under the coaching and leadership of Miss Brockmiller, were responsible for the success of the operetta. T he memory of the beauty of Catlin Township High School is most outstand- ing to the faculty and students during the winter months of the year. ' THE CATLINEAN JUNIORS Fxrxt Rou'7Mr. llrautigam, E.

The Juniors successfully staged the play, l'M'Liss,'. With the proceeds of the play and a lot of hard work, they gave the Seniors a good banquet, on May 24 at the Hotel Wolford and later attended a show at the Fischer theatre. Page Twenty-two THE CATLINEAN O P E R E T T A A two-act operetta, The Magazine Princess , was presented February 20 by the combined efforts of Miss Brockmiller, the music department, and faculty and student body. The scene of the operetta was at the seashore home of Miss Stewart, a pro- fessor of English at the college. This part was played by Polly Lou Storm. Marie, The Magazine Princess , portrayed by rllaxirzc Hopper, came to Miss Stewart's home hiding from the King of Rozenia. While at the school she met Michael St. Denis, loc Hijvfvlc to us, who fell in love with her. Marie won the hearts of all the students in college and they all helped free her and make her happy. Other principals were played by Robert McGee, Bob Songer, Barbara Burris, Betty Brown, Ralph Bloom, Maxine Bloom, Kenneth Keller, Mary Messich, and LaVonne Ferguson. ln addition to these characters there were groups of tap- dancers, gypsy-dancers, pirates, sailors, policemen, and the entire boys' and girls' choruses. All in all, the operetta proved very successful and was very entertaining. Music for the performance was provided by Elisabcflz Cord, Pianist, and Nellie Mac Stout, Violinist. Page Tuenty three THE CATLINEARI ORCHESTRA The orchestra at the beginning of the year began to practice in earnest. The music began to improve with each practice. Now we hear sweet melodies from the music room every fifth period on Wednesday when they practice. The orchestra has twenty members under the capable leadership of Miss llrockmiller. The orchestra has been working on 'tLargo from the New VVorld Symphony by Dvorak, 'ilnteemeggoi' from Midsummer Night's Dreamy' by Mendelssohn, and Prelude of Chopin. The orchestra played Christmas Fantasy for the Christmas Day program which was enjoyed by the assembly. The string section played for the Operetta.

Under the guidance of Miss Prrockmiller they have sung in assembly programs, taken part in the operetta, 'lMagazine Princess , and sung over WDAN. Mary Hawkins was elected President, Jane VVilliams and Henrietta Hark- man, Librarians, and Marjorie Stine, Pointsman. The girls meet every Thursday, Sth period and when practicing for anything special, on Tuesdays. Points were given for regular attendance and extra points for rehearsals or public appearance. When 2000 points were accumulated a pin was given. VVhen 3000 points were amassed a letter was given. The Glee Club was divided into three divisions: Soprano, Second Soprano, and Alto. Most of the girls sang Soprano, while the rest were scattered between the Seconds and Altos. Students were encouraged to go out for Glee Club and as a result most of the girls in school were members. THE CATLINEAN FUTURE FARMERS Catlin High School had one of its largest agriculture classes this year, the largest of the three divisions being the Freshmen. The Juniors and Seniors were put into one class and a new Agriculture shop added to the department. The junior and Senior boys built the shop, including benches and cabinets. The following is a list of achievements of the F.F.A. Chapter of Catlin High. The boys had eight entries in Oakwood Sectional Grain and Poultry show. They won a grand championship, five first prizes, two seconds, and a third prize. Among the numerous field trips were one to DeKalb Hybrid Corn Co., to the Sectional Grain and Poultry show at Oakwood, and another trip to the Indianapolis stock- yards. The boys raised thirty-two chicks and sold seventy-live dollars' worth of seeds, entered the volley ball tournament at Oakwood, publicized evening school, sponsored grain, fat stock, dairy, and poultry teams. Thirty-four active members were initiated April 10 into the 'Green Hand class of the F.F.A. chapter. There was an exceptionally high attendance at all the meetings. The climax of the boys' work came when they sponsored a Father and Son Banquet Friday, April 26th. ge Twenty THE CATLIIQEAN WRESTLING The wrestling squad went through a really tough schedule led by Captain Junkerman. They won three meets out of nine. The squad was coached by Mr. Keeney. Five boys took part in the District Meet held at Champaign. Puzey, Hipple and Junkerman were defeated in their hrst matches.

The team consisted of four Seniors: Joe Krusich, Lloyd Champion, James Miller, and Donald Newtong three Juniors: Paul Taylor, Jack Carrigan, and Lee Louckg two Sophomores: Frank White, and Laurence Gillilandg and Freshmen: Louis Krusich, Bob Songer, Kenneth Miller, Joe jenkins, and many other prom- ising boys. The Catlin Wolverines were invited to enter the Georgetown Holiday Tour- nament, where they met with great success by carrying off first place by defeating Newman and Georgetown. They placed second in the Conference race, having won 12 games and lost only 2. The team entered the County Tournament at Georgetown and defeated Aller- ton easily, but were defeated by Indianola before reaching the semi-finals. They also entered into the Regional at Danville and played a wonderful game against Oakwood and defeated them, but they again were eliminated by Homer, the Re- gional Champions. This closed the basketball season for the Wolverines. The season was very successful, and the boys played the hardest for their Alma Mater. Old Catlin High.

Page Twenty-nine THE CATLINEAN SPRING ODE Now, while the birds thus sing a joyous song, And while the young lambs bound As to the tabor's sound, To me alone there came a thought of griefg A timely utterance that gave thought relief, And l again am strong. The cataracts blow their trumpets from the steepg No more shall grief of mine the season wrongg I hear the Echoes through the mountains throngg The VVinds come to me from the fields of sleep, And all the earth is gayg Land and sea Give themselves up to jollity, And with the heart of May Doth every lleast keep holiday- Thou Child of Joy, Shout round me, let me hear they shouts, thou happy Shepherd-boy. VVILLIAM NVoRDswoR'rH. Page Thirty THE CATLINEAN Page Thirty-one After the winter's activities, most of which were held inside the school building, the new spring events were a welcome change. Before and after school, and especially at noon, the campus was filled with students roaming about. The school building was almost deserted, for everyone seemed to enjoy being out of doors because of the pleasant weather. Gradually the dormant trees and flowers came to life, until by the time vacation came the campus seemed to be the prettiest spot in Catlin. The last game in the basketball season was played in March. The class tour- naments were held, and later, spring football followed. The wrestling squad took honors in the Champaign meet, which ended the wrestling season for the year. An all-school project of selling magazines was held, with the proceeds going into a fund for a movie projector. After the Easter vacation the Seniors successfully presented their class play, Professor Pepp . April ushered in track practice and a series of successful meets. All of the athletes, Athletic Board members, and cheer-leaders were guests at the annual Athletic Banquet, held in the auditorium. The speech contests, which began in late March and continued into April, were attended by several students. Many students were seen practicing shorthand and typing during early April because of the Commercial Contest which was held then. For the Seniors, May was a very busy month. First they were honored by the Junior-Senior Banquet, then, after presenting class night and attending bac- calaureate, they graduated.

The play centered around college students, and of course, their teachers. One, nervous Professor Vepp, portrayed by Kenneth Stine, was frightened by the mention of a Russian secret organization, which he thought was going to assassinate him because he deserted it. Aunt Minerva, played by Lois Hall, was once left at the altar by C. ll. Button- buster, better known as Russell Hunter, who entered school disguised as his own son. Ile furnished high comedy by falling in love with a college belle. WVhen his son showed up at school, quite a tangle of affairs occurred. The son won the heart of the girl to whom his father was engaged, and C. ll. Iluttonbuster went back to Aunt Minerva, who had been waiting for him for years. The actors in this successful play were: Professor Pepp, Kenneth Stine: Mr. C. ll. lluttonbuster, Russell Hunter: Howard Green, lJeVVitt junkerman: Sim llatty, Jack Carter: Peddler Henson, Loyd Champion: Noisy Fleming, Russell Anderson: Pink Hatcher, Donald New- ton: lluster Brown, Ralph Bloom: Betty Gardner, Betty Keller: Aunt lllinerva, Lois Hall: Petunia Muggins, Geraldine Newton: Olga Stopski, Annabelle .lami- son: Kitty Clover, Nellie Mae Stout: lrene Van Hilt, lleulah Mae Fuller: Caro- line Kay, June Simmonds: Vivian Drew, lflarbara Russell.

THE CATLINEAN SENIOR CLASS HISTGRY In the fall of 1936 some thirty-five green but willing freshmen entered high school. We started our first year off by electing Joe Krttsick as President of our class, Don Newton, Vice-President, Marge Novaria, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Rousch, Class adviser. It didn't take us long to learn, and before we came back to old C. T. H. S. to begin our Sophomore year we were anything but green! With Mr. Brackney, Class advisor, Loyd Champion, Presidentg jim Miller, Secre- tary-Treasurerg and june Simmonds, Vice-President, we took an active part in all the school functions. Practically all the boys in our class were out for athletics and some were on the varsity squads. By the time we entered these doors for our Junior year there were many of us who were among the leaders of the school. We chose Russell Anderson, Presi- dentg June Simmonds, Secretary-Treasurerg Jim Miller, Vice-Presidentg and Miss Graham, Class adviser. We successfully produced a play, Lady Spitfire , and on the eighteenth of May we entertained the Seniors, faculty and last but not least, ourselves,, at the Wolford Hotel, at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Lois Hall and Hilda Church were responsible for the candy sales going so well and for the money this added to the receipts from the play. When we came back to school for our final year we decided, since this was to be our last year, we would all do our best to make it our most successful. VVe elected DeWitt junkerman, President 5 Jim Miller, Vice-President 5 Annabelle Jamison, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. Thomas, Class adviser. There have been several students in our class who deserved special recognition and who did much to make our class a success during the four years in high school. Such people as Virginia Taylor and Marge Novaria, who were cheerleaders, jim Miller and Don Newton, co-captains of the football teamg Joe Krusick, captain of the basketball team, Jerry Newton, Secretary-Treasurer of the Athletic Association, Loyd Champion, President of the Athletic Association, Barbara Russell, Senior candi- date for carnival queen, june Simmonds, elected best citizen for the D. A. R. and editor-in-chief of the annual, The Catlinean, which our class very successfully published. The success of our play, Professor Pepp, was due to the combined efforts of the entire class, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Brautigam. We received our diplomas May 30, and said our final good-bye to Catlin High. We are sorry to leave, but are happy to say how much we have enjoyed our days at C. T. H.
