The class also produced three plays and instead of having Class Night took an educational tour of the State of Missouri, all expenses being paid by the Class Treasury. June Finley is the Editor of the Mogul and the Art Editor and Sports Editors are Virgil McKenzie and Paulous Johnson, all Seniors. Other members who won distinction during the year are John Wilson who won second in the State Music Contest, Bob Burnett, Lawson Hamilton, Willard Drissell, and Glen Hinkebein, who placed in the S. E. Mo. High School Meet in Art. Bill Crader was captain of the football team and rated in the dis- trict's A team. Glen Hinkebein won the Scott County contest for the State Student Assembly and Mary Beth Scott and Marvin Washer tied for honors in debating. The Seniors had Hobo Day on April 28 and were also given a banquet and boat excursion by the Juniors. And now we must say goodbye to the Seniors of next year.

During our Freshman year we were initiated into Dear Old Chaffee High by some Sophisticat ed Sophomores. But during our Sophomore year, we emerged from our cocoon and with a magnificent orange pumpkin and a streamlined air- plane and won first place in both of the carnival float contests We worked hard in our Junior year in an effort to entertain the Seniors royally. However, we took time off to construct a black cat float which won first prize in the Halloween carnival. At the end of the year we entertained the Seniors with a boat excursion and a banquet in which we carried out an Old-Fashioned Garden motif. Senior year! Ah! A new gym to break in! Some of us de- cided the time had come to loaf a while, but others of us con- tinued the good work. One of our fair class members, Ruth Freeman, was crowned carnival queen. We presented three plays this year which were very entertaining. Our snonsors and former snonsors, Miss Dulcie Schmidt, now deceased, Mr. Wayne Sarius, Mr. Vernon LaVal, Miss Jean Holly, Miss Elaine Smith, and Mr. Bill Hopkins are now being left be- hind for the future students of Chaffee High. We have enjoyed our years here at Chaffee High School and to those we leave to carry on we wish them success and good will, e are now faced with the problem of higher tests in life.

SENIOR POEM— WINNING HEARTS The bell rang They all marched in Those dignified Seniors Looking for hearts to win. Of course, Mary Belle and Lucille, you know Wanted a teacher for their beau. But Bill and Wayne couldn’t be hooked For they, we found, were already booked. Now Nadine Roussel coundn’t decide, And Tootsie C. took Gayne Paul for a ride. Both Wanda and Mary wanted Leslie it seems, And Leslie was torn between his desire for both dreams. Louis doesn’t love Violet any more, He skates each Sunday to the one he adores. Duane, a young doctor from Chaffee High Until he fell in love, his hopes were high. This skating rink seems to be quite a fad, I’ll bet Willard and Lawson are really glad. W. H. Miller, though silent is he, His Rockview girl talks enough for three. Bill Gnann we hate to say Stepped out on Coletta the other day. SENIOR POEM— WINNING HEARTS” Fred and Evelyn really did fall They hold hands in study hall. Paulous Johnson, we’ve been told, Will be an artist before he is very old. Bashful Norman loves that little Junior so, He writes lots of notes to let her know. Now Paul, Dorothy, and Janeice we can't explain But we wonder which one will wear his ring. Kenneth Felden, Euckstein's man, Chooses Juniors when he can. Shelby Holmes, that handsome fish Was hooked by some cute little dish. Georgia Deane and Carrel, two love birds, Nobody told me, I only heard. Monteen is still wearing his ring Who? Oh! Lyman is his name. Theda Mae, well I'll declare She's still got Guy by the hair. Johnny Wilson, Married? 0! Mush. The girls were all ready to give him a rush. Marvin Washer and Mary Beth Scott A good debate team, believe it or not. Otis Diven and Bob Burnett, those poor guys, Girls break their hearts and leave them to cry. Now Earlene is interested in railroad men She is engaged to be married when his train comes in. Ella Mae and Bill, lovers so true, All of us are guessing when they'll say I Do.” Aileen and Jimmie, lovers and how, We all wonder when they'll take their vow. Nona, who loves everyone, But best loves Bill H. cause he's lots of fun. Virgil has loves a plenty When he takes them out he spends all his pennies. Glen, Earl, and Owen, three of a kind, Want a girl with a gold mind. From Ruth and June, of men you don't hear There only interest is a career. Beatrice and Ford, I guess you know, But popular Bee, wants another beau. Joseta, of course, we'll just forget She's not quite sure about hers yet. JUNIOR OFFICERS This year the Junior Class has been fortunate in having well-liked leaders. They are: Paul Goddard------------President Pat McAdams-------Vice President Dorothy Slinkard--------Secretary Bessie Campbell---------Treasurer Bill Huber------Sergeant-at-Ar.ns Mr. Sarius----------------Sponsor Miss Milde------------Co Sponsor We not want to thank them for their many services to us, The Junior Class. JUNIOR ACTIVITIES This year the Juniors were very ambitious, and well so, as we expect to be the very best Junior Class in the history of our school. At the Fall Carnival the Juniors gave a Musical Negro Minstrel. The town people said they really believed it to be the best negro minstrel produced at the school in late years. So we fell as if we have started the school year off with a ’’bang. But we still remembered the proverb, All work and no play made Jack a dull boy, and applied it to ourselves. We had, in May, a hike to the hills which was enjoyed by all who came. The hike was in honor of Ruth Foulk and her committee. The annual Barn Dance was also presented for the entertainment of our class and the entire student body. We have tried practically every way to make this the school's best year as well as our own but this could not have been accomplished without the willing help of Mr. Sarius and Miss Milde. Again the Juniors say, Thank you. '.Veyne Sari us Sponsor Eugenia Milde Sponsor Paul Goddard--C-club, Football, Track, President of Junior Class Pat McAdams--Glee club.

Since we as Juniors have always strived to please, we did plan something different—a Hawaiian Banquet. As the guests came in the entrance they were presented with Hawaiian Leis. Ferns and palms were mixed with gay colored flowers. On the menu were such Hawaiian dishes as Haelalah Roses, Chilled Lava, Hawaiian Surfboards, and Volcanos. The program, waitresses, decorations and dinnere were all arranged in Hawaiian manner. The program as presented in Hawaiian style consisted of: Paul Goddard---------------Toastmaster and Dreamer Marnett Scott-------------Products of the Island Pat McAdams---------------Introduction of Guests Clarence Daughtery--------Toast to Mother Country Miss Holly-------------------People of the Islands Joseta Erwin-----------------Exploring the Islands Mr. Lewallen------Farewell to Departing Islanders During the banquet we enjoyed listening to the soft melody of Hawaiian Songs as played by Owen Yount, Charles Cunningham, and Betty Jo Frazier. Now the Banquet is over and we have bidden the Seniors Good-by. We are looking forward to next year when the new Juniors will entertain us. JUNIOR BARN DANCE Hooray! was the cry of many when they heard that again the Juniors would present a good, old-fashioned Barn Dance. On April 28, the Juniors presented a Barn Dance in the gym- nasium. The gym was dressed to play the part of the Barn. It was filled with bales of hay and many ears of corn, while the Juniors dressed the part and put on the entertainment—and what an entertainment! Paul Goddard was the announcer, Eunice Honaker was Patsy the Pest, Danny Bill Divens was Uncle Ezra, and Betty Belle Beahr, the little red-headed darling, played the part of Mary Ann and did a tap dance for us. Many other choruses and dances were pre- sented by the other members of the Junior class. To aid us with the music several members of other classes agreed to play for us and be the famous Hoosier Hotshots. The Rhyme Girls presented a series of rhymes telling many secrets of certain individuals. This was all in fun and the laughter was led by the victims of the rhymes. At the end of the entertainment refreshments were furnished by the Junior class. All of the guests were treated with cookies and sandwiches. A good time was had by all. The Barn Dance was enjoyed as thoroughly by the performers as it was by the guests. Next year we are looking forward to having another Barn Dance which will be even better than the one this year. Sophomore Officers President------------------1!.ary nna Heeb Vice President---------Charles Cunningham Secretary--------------------Norma Bolin Treasurer-------------------- .rthur Heeb Sophomore Activities This has been a big year in the way of activities for the Sophomore class. The class has been well represented in football, basket- ball, track, drama, glee club, and debate. Several members of the class have received letters through these various activities. The Sophomores participated in the intramural basketball tournament, the girls being declared the winners. During the month of February the Sophomores enjoyed a skating party at the Roller Rink near Cape Girardeau. Helen Jones was chosen by the class to be its candidate in the Halloween Queen contest. But alas’. She didn’t win. The part of the Sophomores in the annual Halloween Carnival was to put the follies over. Under the direction of its sponsors, Miss Harris and Mr. LaVal, they made the follies a never-to-be-forgotten event. When the time came around to select the Mogul Queen, the Sophomore class chose Betty Jo Frazier to be its candidate. The class also chose Betty Jo Frazier for the Spring Carnival Queen candidate.

The Freshmen of 1938 were much alarmed when it was proclaimed that on that day the boys were to wear dresses, make-up, anklets, bows of green ribbon in their hair, and they must all carry dolls; while the girls must wear short dresses, long cotton stockings, bows of green material just below the knees, and wear their hair in pigtails! Also, a Freshman must supply himself with green suckers and when addressing a Sophomore must use the titles of Mr. or Miss. But the day ended, as all days must, with everyone happy. The Freshman candidate for Halloween Queen was Betty Finley. The Mogul Queen was Anna Brazeal. The Freshman class enjoyed a skating party at the Cape Girardeau Skating Rink. It was enjoyed by all, although some didn’t feel very well next day, especially Muriel Bailey who broke her shoulder bone because of a fall. Mr. Albert Thompson is the class sponsor and Mr. Arthur Clark is co-sponsor. Albert Thj pson Sponsor Dennis Slinx-.rd—bend.

It has been the attempt of this staff to convey the school spirit, friendship, purposes, ideals and achievements of 1938-39. However, the hopes of those that made this annual could never have been fulfilled without the cooperation of the student body for which we give our thanks.

With the aid of the Camera Club Service Bureau of the Eastman Kodak Company, the club learned more about taking photo- graphs. The company has sent bulletins on all phases of pho- tography and also lantern slides to illustrate. President DRAMA CLUB Nadine Roussel Secretary and Treasurer................. .Allie B.

Mr. Vernon Laval The Black Key Dramatic Club had its first meeting this year on September 22, 1938 and new officers were elected. This is the clubfs fourth year. The drama club has progressed very rapidly. Two plays have been presented this year. The first play was a light com- edy entitled Adams Evening . This play has been produced in motion pictures. The climax of the year was the presentation of Another Spring which was a romantic drama. Every member enjoyed the production of this play. The characters of these plays, which were well liked by the audience, were selected by the tryout method. This year brings the loss of some of the clubs oldest members.

BAND The Chaffee High School Band for the past two years has acquired a wide reputation under the direction of Mr. Arthur Clark. CALENDER EVENTS Miss Allie B. Lankford was chosen as Drum Major. Seven new uniforms, a baton, drum, and a fur shako have been added to the band equipment. The band played at football and basketball games and all plays produced by the school. The band sponsored e benefit show at the theatre and the second dramatic club play. The proceeds were spent in buying music and equipment. On April 22 the band went to Cape Girardeau to enter the Southeast Missouri High School Meet. '’Morning” from Peer Gynt Suite and Cyrene were selected for this. The band has shown progress due to the fact that they were credited with a superior rating in Class CC this year, while last year they only received an average rating. The Processional and Recessional for the graduating exercises will be played by the band. Under the direction of Mr. Clark, the beginning band will continue through the summer Band First Row: Left to right: Allie B.

A weiner roast headed the social list. About forty-five were present. Everybody met at the Circle Park, and then hiked out to Cox Hill. A wagon was used as transportation back to town. Later the Glee club went to Cape Girardeau to the Cape Trio Rink on a skating party. In spite of the fact that on a skating party everyone is bound to get some bruises, it was a very successful party. The Glee club with an exceedingly large membership, worked up a wide selection of numbers to present whenever called upon to perform. The Parent Teachers Association requested the Glee club to sing at a monthly program, Just A Wearying For You was given. Tow numbers, Street Urchins Medly and Lost Chord were presented at a program for the benefit of the Soup kitchen Fund. For Pan-American Day the club sang Dark Eyes. On April 21 the girls and boys went to Cape Girardeau to the Southeast Missouri Contest Meet. There they observed other Glee clubs and other school accomplishments, including solos, trios, quartets, and group singing. The many different types of robes and dresses of other Glee clubs were observed SCHOOL SONGS Devils, Devils, yes, we are the devils. Ever ready fighters, yeh team! Fight em. Fight em.

The purpose of the Home Economics Club is to stimulate interest in the different fields, by taking up the latest facts. The social side is stressed, by parties and very interesting programs. The Home Economics Club is not affiliated with the state this year, but are working toward this. One of the social events that the club has enjoyed this year was a Christmas Party which was given just before the vacation holidays. A backward party was given in February for the purpose of more social contact. The outstanding event that the club participated in was the banquet that they gave the faculty members and their wives. The decorations were carried out in green and white Future Homemakers The Future Homemakers is an honorary society and is com- posed of the girls who have met with the requirements set up by the state which are: A girl must have a superior average in her subjects; she must have a project in five different fields which are: economics, health, social, child care, technical, and a health examination by a family doctor. The first stage in this organization is called the ’’Cradle Roll.” This is usually the girls that are in their first year of Home Economics and have completed one or two home projects. The Fireside Circle is the second degree and is reached after more home projects. The third degree is the ’’Future Homemaker. The fourth degree is the Missouri Future Homemaker. The fifth degree is the National Future Homemaker. The selection of members is based on the teacher's recommendation, fellow-member recommendation and a committee from out-in-town. The highest degree that any girl has ever obtained in the Chaffee High School Department of Home Economics is the third degree, Future Homemaker.

The squad was organized early in the year with five de- baters who had one year of debating. A debater’s aptitude test was given by Mr. LaVal to all sophomores and to others who were interested in debating. As a result of this test the following joined the squad for tryouts: Norma Bolin, Betty Metz, Mary Jean Slaughter, Mary Anna Bisplinghoff, Bobby Walker, Gene Jackson, and Glen Hinkebein. After a short period of instruction, all of this group dropped out except Mary Anna, Mary Jean, and Glen Hinkebein. Glen stuck with it until after his first inter-school debate, and then dropped, but Mary Anna and Mary Jean worked faithfully with the squad until the end of the season, both developing into A-Number-1 debaters. The activities of the squad consisted of a series of prac- tice debates with other schools, a practice tournament at Jack- son, a district tournament at Cape Girardeau, and a humorous debate on the question, Resolved that: ”It is better to be a little frog in a big pond than to be a big frog in a little pond.” The question for debate in all of the inter-school debates was Resolved that: ’’The United States should form an alliance with Great Britain. All of the practice debates were no-decision, but the C. H. S. teams gave a good account of themselves in the tournaments. The negative team, consisting of Mary Beth Scott, Mary Jean Slaughter, and Marvin Washer, won every one of their debates in both tournaments, and even won from the Jackson affirmative team that had won the district champion- ship at Cape Girardeau. The affirmative team, too, did well, but was unfortunate in losing to Sikeston. One member of the debate squad, Mary Beth Scott, represent- ed the school in the extemporaneous speech contest at the Teach- er's College in April. Mary Beth Scott and Marvin Washer will be lost to the squad next year, but the remaining debaters are looking forward to another successful year, and they feel sure that next year's crop of Sophomores and Juniors will fill very ably the places left by the two veterans who are graduating. Remaining Debate Squad members are Marnett Scott, Clarence Daughtery, Mary Anna Bisplinghoff, Fern Washer, and Mary Jean f Slaughter.

It endeavors to develop better athletic teams, to create loyalty, character and good sportsmanship, to promote health, to encourage all students to play in the intramurals and to officiate in the running off of intramural games. The Club’s activities have been as follows: Miss Theda Mae Jones was selected to reign as Football Queen and was supported by three maids of honor, Miss Beulah Eastwood, Miss Vera Story, and the retiring queen, Miss Ella Mae Lynch. The Queen was escorted to the throne by the foot- ball boys, Paul Goddard, Bob Burnett and Duane Deen. The Intramural basketball games were won by the Junior boys and the Sophomore girls. The softball games were sched- uled for the first week of May. The C. Club had an active part in the annual Spring Carnival. 1 1 1 1 PEP SQUAD President Theda Mae Jones Vice President Leslie Hampton Secretary and Treasurer Nadine Roussel Reporter Mary Moore Sponsors Miss Jean Holly Sponsors Miss Lorene Harris Under the sponsorship of Miss Jean Holly and Miss Lorene Harris, the Pep Squad has had an unusually large membership of fifty. The cheer leaders, Betty Jo Frazier, Ruth Foulk, and Vera Story were chosen by tryouts. The Pep Squad with its black skirts, white shirts, and red flannel jackets added a great deal of color as well as pep at all football and basketball games. During the latter week of September the Pep Squad members gave a special Pep Meeting in the Gymnasium. A playlet en- titled Here Comes the Bride” was presented. The bride, por- traying the part of Victory, was played by Theda Mae Jones. The groom who was captain of our 1938-39 football team, was Bill Crader. The bridesmaids were Guy Bunyard, Duane Deen, Otis Diven, Gayne Paul Underwood, Virgil McKenzie, and Archie Smiley. The disappointed lover, representing Perryville, was played by Stirling Boyts. Paul Goddard, acting as referee, was the minister. Other members of the football team made up the guests for the wedding. Footballs with red and black streamers were used for bouquets.

The first half was a seesaw affair with neither team coming near the touchdown marker. In the third quarter the hopes went high when Otis Diven, Chaffee’s center, seemingly intercepted a pass and raced 80 yards for a touchdown but the referee ruled the Jackson parser as down before the pass was thrown. In the final quarter a pass from Bill Crader to Guy Bunyard and a 30 yard run by Bunyard netted Chaffee her only touchdown of the game. The try for the extra point failed and the game ended Chaffee 6, Jackson 0. The Red Devils journeyed to Dexter where they played with- out the services of half back, Archie Smiley, who was injured and Duane Deen and Billy Jo Huber who had injuries also. The Devils pushed over 31 points against none for the Bearcats. Crader scored 2 of the touchdowns while Bunyard, McKenzie and Yount scored one each. Arthur Heeb scored the extra point. The Red Devils made their third out of town trip to Kennett. The first three minutes of the game looked like an easy victory for the Indians but the Devils tightened up and the half ended without a score. In the third quarter the Devils SUMMARY OF GAMES CONTINUES gave way to the tricky Kennett shift and the Indians put over a touchdown. In the last quarter the Chaffee boys were seem- inly handicapped by the damp sand and were unable to complete but a few of the many passes thrown by Crader. In the mean- time, the Indians pushed over another touchdown plus an extra point to make the final score read Kennett 13, Chaffee 0. The Home season opened with the Red Devils giving the local fans a thrill by defeating the Perryville Pirates. It seemed that the Devils had very little trouble taking the game from the Pirates. Chaffee’s first score came in the first half when Crader plunged the line for a touchdown and an extra point and in the last quarter with but 9 seconds to play Crader again plunged the line to add another 6 points. The game ended Chaffee 13, Perryville 0. The Red Devils next went to Portageville. The scoring was done by Crader and Bunyard with Bunyard and McKenzie scoring the extra points. In this game the Red Devils lost their first string left end, Virgil McKenzie who received a broken collar bone in the third quarter. The final score for this game was Chaffee 20, lortageville 0. Feeling pepped up over their four victories the Devils went to Cairo where they were up against a heavier and faster team. The Cairo boys pushed over 13 points before the half ended. In the third quarter the Devils again scored only to give into the Cairo teams speed end weight and allowing Cairo to score 13 more points. Chaffee 13, Cairo 26. SUMMARY OF GAMES CONTINUED For their second home game the Red Devils met the Sikeston Bulldogs. The Bulldogs in the first quarter marched 90 yards only to be stopped by the Chaffee defense a few yards short of a touchdown. In the second quarter the Devils marched nearly 90 yards toward the Bulldog goal only to be stopped at the half. The third quarter was a seesaw affair with neither team scoring but for the Devils the last quarter was fatal with the Bulldogs pushing over 13 points. This was not a conference game. The final score was Sikeston 13, Chaffee 0. In their last home game of the season the Devils had high hopes of defeating the Caruthersville Tigers, as yet undefeated and untied. If the Devils could take this game it would have been possible to tie Caruthersville and Kennett for the confer- erence championship. The game ended 26 to 0 in favor of Caruthersville. Merlin Heeb and Otis Diven received injuries in this game. The Red Devils next went to East Prairie for the final game of the season. The touchdown were made by Bill Crader and Lawrence Welter with Owen Yount scoring the extra point. The game ended Chaffee 19, East Prairie 0. Through graduation the Devils lost 9 players. Those who played their last game were Virgil McKenzie, Bob Burnett, Co- Captain, Shelby Holmes, Louis Musgraves, Duane Deen, Lawson Hamilton, Gayne Paul Underwood, Otis Diven, and Bill Crader. Bill Crader was placed on the first all-star team.

The girls appeared on their home court Friday, January 27 for the best game of the season. Although they were beaten in the first game with Charleston by a score of 35-15, they came back with the Devilette spirit and lost only by a two point margin. The score was 12-10.

With but two weeks practice after closing the football season the Red Dev- ils met their first opponent, Blodgett, and were defeated. Besides Blodgett, the Devils met five other teams before win- ning their first game of the season from Benton. It seemed that this win was all the Red Devils needed to get started in the winning column for the Devils with eight games yet to play. The Red Devils succeeded in winning six of these and dropping two. The Red Devils had a fairly successful season in which their record was seven games won and eight games lost. In the Scott—Mississippi County tournament the Red Devils lost their first game to the Illmo team. The Red Devils started the season with thirteen candi- dates for the quintet. Later in the season the squad was in- creased by two members, Hutson Goza and Bob Lick who entered from other schools. Coach Smith lettered nine of the players. They were: Virgil McKenzie, Bill Crader, John Henshaw, Wallace Honaker, Arthur Heeb, Johnny Freeze, George Green, Hutson Goza, and Bailey Shackles. The only two lettermen to be lost by grad- uation are Virgil McKenzie and Bill Crader. McKenzie has lettered four years in basketball. Coach Smith is looking forward to winning a number of games next year as his material is a little better than average. Summary of Games December 9 Blodgett Chaffee.. December 13 Diehlstadt...

While he told his butler of his adventure, in came His mother-in-law and his wife. He told them that Coakes had died. Immediately they began to send flowers and make all of the funeral arrangements. To his sorrow, Coakes appeared on the scene, and then the fun began. On April 6 the Drama Club presented another play which was the first second class play to have been presented in Chaffee for a number of years. The title of the play was Another Spring . This play was a romantic drama. The setting of the pro- logue took place during the Revolutionary War. The lovers met, but one of them died.

The cast was made up of: Otis Diven, Nadine Roussel, Mary Anna Bisplinghoff, Duane Deen, Pat McAdams, Dorothy Slinkard, Clarence Daughtery, Betty Metz, Homer Montgomery, and Kenneth Felden.

Two Senior boys should also receive special mention. Marvin Washer took a part in this play at 11:00 •’clock the night before the final performance, and Willard Drissel took the part of two men. The plot of the play concerned an old maid and her brother who loved to be around young people. The brother was always a- fraid that something would happen to his stars (those in the heavens), but the whole theme of the play was based on his for- getfulness. A young man and his wife took a position as maid and butler in the home of these people. The young man was gather- ing material for a book, while his wife was a newspaper woman. The brother forgot to tell his sister that he had given the mo- tion picture people the right to shoot scenes in their house, but a jewel thief had not. The motion picture cast came and one of the actresses wore a valuable necklace which was taken by the thief. One of the actors turned out to be the son of the old maid’s l«ng ago sweetheart. There was much confusion on the night of the shooting, but, in the end, explanations were all made and the play ended happily.

Massey, Pat Mcadams, Bessie Mae Campbell, Charles Cunningham, Ruth Foulk, Dora Shores, and Danny Bill Divens, Peggy Spencer, Mmurine,Lett, Sterling Boyts, and Eunice Honaker.

He and his playboy cousin immediately began to have their friends make love to their aunt, but as all good things come to an end the gentleman that the cousin chose was found to be married, and his wife was brought to the house by the dancehall sweetheart of the playboy cousin, who Wc.s making a play for young Mamie’s money. The young man that the hero chose lost his book of instructions and so the fun began. The comedy was furnished by Bessie Mae Campbell and her husband, Charles Cunningham. To the surprise and ex- clamation of both boys and the audience the aunt’s young man turned out to be a twelve year old boy. The young man then told his aunt what they had done and asked for forgiveness. Drama Club Play Cast: Daft to right: Clarence Deu ;htery, Vary Anns Bis ltngfcoff, Ilor.-r S£o.”tjjotaery, Otlo Dlven.
