We have taken the hard knocks offered, we've learned to live with one another, work to- gether, and cooperate with those with whom we come In contact. We have gone a long way since the first of September, 1943. Many of us have experienced heartaches as well as joys, but we've come through with tiying colors. We were all more or less strangers that hrst morning of our high school career. Two-thirds of the girls in that future senior class wore green sweaters and hair rihhons to show the newness and greenness of the budding underclassmen which really didn't need to be emphasized, for it stuck out all over us in everything we did for the first six weeks until we learned the daily routine. A few of our boys went out for football and basketball and began their training that has made them outstanding in athletics for the past two years. Both boys and girls joined various organizations immediately and were soon taking an active part. Such were our freshman days. We adapted ourselves quickly and well. At the beginning of our sophomore year we entered into school activities with an energy that was admirable. Many of our class chose the dramatic Field by participating in the one-act plays that were pre- sented. Yes, we were well on our way toward that upperclassman goal for which we were striving, and were indeed looking forward with much anticipation to the junior-Senior Prom, which was to be the big treat of the following year. Now you freshmen and sophomores can look up to us. We are at last mighty juniors almost capable of carry- ing the responsibilities of the whole world on our shoulders. Our junior year was another successful year. We were mighty proud of our up and coming athletes, especially those of our class who, with the senior members of the bas- ketball team, went to sub-state at Iowa City to tangle with the victorious Clinton team. Many members of our junior class were also outstanding in music as well as dramatics, the junior play, Through the Night, in particular. May 10, 19-46, was a big day for all upperclassmen, for that was the day of the junior-Senior Banquet and Prom which we juniors had been looking forward to for the last few years. We worked hard, had fun, and put over a very suc- cessful banquet and prom. With the help of our class sponsors we decorated the stage for commencement and gave the seniors of '46 a hearty but reluctant send-off ever mindful of the great task remaining before us in '47. Seniors at last! The upperclassmen, no one to look up to! We actually felt a little lost and bewildered the first few weeks of school, but we soon became accustomed to it. Our whole year was filled with one thrill after anotherg each day spent in making new friends and acquaintances among our teachers and fellow students. Our football and basketball teams again won a great many victories, and our classmates again played an outstanding part in music, dramatics, and other organizations. You juniors gave us a lovely banquet, prom, and commencement, and we want you to know how much we appreciated the time and work spent. Now it's time for us to depart from the halls and classrooms of C.H.S., to take our places in the world of tomorrow. Yes, our high school career is ended, but we know you juniors -have the ability to carry on from where we left on as the never-ending cycle of high school grad- uations move onward. We want to thank our teachers who have helped us weather the storms which always led to clearer horizons, We know we've been trying at times, but you've been wonderful and we appreciate all you've done from the bottom of our hearts. So to you seniors of '48 we leave this thought in mind: As your senior year draws near, look forward to it with a zeal and spirit that is unchallengable, and above all remember Life is what you make it. 27 Class motto Life is what you make it i Class flower Amercan V Beauty Rose Class colors American t Beauty Rose and Silver mafgr 50175 Pmlsg , Ourv A L H175 .

H. S. to meet new people and strange things. By the end of the first semester we could see that this freshman class had a lot of potentiality which could be developed to make it rank high with any other class which has passed through the halls of C. H. S. As Sophomores they showed their abilities in the various organiza- tions, entered into athletics, became a valuable part of our music de- partments, participated in the one act plays and gave some excellent readings. Already this class had begun to rise to a high level in C. H. S. How well we remember you as juniors when you worked so hard on the float which captured first place in the homecoming parade. Moving rapidly on you produced the junior Class Play, l'What A Life which received the many favorable comments it deserved. Most of all, we Seniors will remember you for the banquet and prom which will live long in our memories. We realize the amount of work it must have taken and really we did appreciate it. Neither could you have made our commencement any better than it was, sending us out into all walks of life with happy memories of our last few days of C. H. S. still lingering in our hearts. To you, the class of '48 we leave the responsibilities of entering C. H. S. next fall and taking upon your shoulders the duties that go with being a senior. As seniors you will be looked upon as an example by the underclassmeng do your best to help them become adapted to their new positions in Chariton High. We sincerely hope we have left a path that is easy to follow and that you can profit by the errors we have made. Our faith in you makes it possible for us to leave know- ing that classes like you will carry on in C. H. S. and keep the high ideals and standards it has always had. 32 Junior Class Jim Garrett, Vice President S0l'll0M'0liES 33 Sophomores FIRST ROW, LEFT T0 RIGHT-Myrtle Borger, Mary Jane Angstead, Marguerite Delpierre, Leota Bethards, Joan DeBok son.

They have adjusted themselves well and have reached the halfway mark so essential in the progress of our teen-age youth. September 1, 1946 was a little different for these inhabitants of C. H. S. than September 1, 1945 had been. At the beginning of this school year, last year's freshmen had taken on a new appearance. They had adopted an air of self-assurance, independence, and confidence that goes hand in hand with an additional year of experience. The class too has been well represented in school organizations and extra curricular activities. Our cheerleading section which has led the school cheering body and the hometown rooters and has helped back both football and basketball teams in the year just drawing to a close was made up of four students, two of them sophomores, and an excel- lent job they did too. Members of the class have willingly and volun- tarily taken part in pep skits, one act plays, various musical presenta- tions, not forgetting of course athletics, and have been active in such organizations as G. A. A., Y-Teen, the Student Council, Thespian, and the F. F. A. throughout the year. This year, as you finish your sophomore term, it is our desire that your freshman hopes and ambitions have been furthered during the past two years and that :is you walk in the paths which will lead you in the footsteps of those who have already passed through the portals of C. H. S. into various walks of life your course will be directed for the future task which is ahead of you. To you we say, make every day count, get the most out of your remaining high school career, for once those days are gone they are gone forever. So for you, the junior class of 1947-48 it is our sincere wish that your co-operative spirit and ambition will continue throughout the remaining half of your high school days. With such spirit and deter- mination you will never go far wrong. 36 Sophomore Class , Donald Wells, Vice President FRESIIMEN 37 5 Freshmen FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT-Donna Clovvser, Ina Duckworth, Gladys Ballard, Patricia Bonnett, Mary Cooper, Norma Brenaman, Mary Davison, Eldine Chiri, Virginia Critchfield, Quanita Briggs, Ruth Connor, SECOND ROW -Richard Delpierre, Jerry Davis, Sam Beardsley, Glea Avitt, Vivian Coe, Mary Chamberlain, Irene Berry, Geraldine DeBok, Wayne Caldwell, Raymond Dishman, Louis Borchert.

H. S. We noticed the usual confusion and bewilder- ment which is so characteristic of freshmen students but were well aware of the potential possibilities and the gradual transformation of the class as a whole after the perplexities of the first six weeks had subsided. We are proud of the manner in which the members of your class have taken part in activities and organizations open to all high school students and of their willingness to co-operate with their classmates and faculty members with whom they came in contact. It is these funda- mental traits and abilities that will help make your high school career interesting and successful, for learning to live with people is a great asset as well as fun. To the members of your class who have entered into the field of musicg the band, mixed chorus, girl's glee club, and other vocal and instrumental groups, into the held of athleticsg basketball, football, and G. A. A., and into the field of dramatics by participating in various one-act plays, three cheers! It makes us proud to know that by being interested and having the ambition to stick with it you will be securing the experience and training necessary to carry you through not only four years of high school but make you better able to face the obstacles of a rapidly changing world once you are beyond the doors of C. H. S. We have faith in you and are assured of your success if you main- tain ,the standards with which you have thus far so matvelously dis- played. We know that as you reach maturity you will acquire the dig- nity and mental stability befitting a graduate. Good luck to you, We know you can do it. 40 Freshman Class l Joyce Laing, Vice President URGANIZATIUNS STUDENT COUNCIL ? f MARGARET RAY SMITH Vice-President EDDIE PATTERSON Secretary PHIL DELPIERRE President The Student Council is the governing body of our high school. It is made up of an executive com- mittee which consists of a president, vice president, and secretary who are elected in the spring to serve for the following year. Each semester the president of each home room serves on the council for that semester. To serve on the executive committee one must have a C average for the year's work, be from the junior or senior class and have characteristics contained in our code. To serve on the council for a semester, one must have a C average. Under the supervision of Miss Helen McCracken and Mr. Thomas Kelley, our student council has sponsored many successful parties, programs and other outstanding events. It can truly be said that the student council is the main functioning body in our high school. MR.

Under the able sponsorship of Miss Guernsey and Miss linich, the Y-Teen of our high school, an un- usually active organization with a membership of loo, has completed another successful year. The cabinet is made up of the heads of the committees who call upon the members for participation in the programs, social activities, service to community and school, and to help in various ways to earn money. Throughout the year they held a number of parties both for the members only and for boys and girls together. Once every month during an activity period set aside for the various organizations in high school, the Y-Teens held their meetings, first disposing of the business on hand, followed by a short and interesting program. Beginning with December, the Y-Teens published Teen Talk once a month. This was a newspaper con- taining articles and items of interest appealing to all students of CHS. as well as members of the Y-Teen organization. This, along with a food sale in january, were projects for the purpose of raising money for the organization. One of the most successful events during the year was a Mother and Daughter Banquet served by the fathers. In the spring, the girls honored all senior members at the traditional tea during which the impressive candle-light installation ceremony of the new otlicers for the coming year was held. This has been the Hrst year for the organization under a new title. Early in the year the name Girl Re- serve was changed to Y-Teen to better fit the aims and ideals of our teen-age youth. It can truly be said that the Y-Teen organization has fulfilled its purpose of creating a feeling of friend- ship and equity among high school girls. I 44 I ll Although in its infancy, the Boys'Y-Teen made rapid progress In February of this year a large group of enthusiastic boys met to organize the first Boys' Y-Teen in C.H.S. for several years. They voted to have a separate cabinet and projects but joint meetings with the girls' club. This new organization was open to all boys of C.H.S. It is our wish that the Y-Teen may continue throughout future years and that through mem- bership in this organization the boys will become better students and better citizens of tomor- TOXV. . iiBoys' Y-Teen Sponsors and Officers President-John Durham Vice-President-Don McKnight Secretary-Bill Chambers Treasurer-Jim Garrett Publicity-Bob McRober+s Service-Richard Delpierre Walden Askren Song Leader-Tom Kelley Program-Bob Romine Social-Lyle Carpenter Finance-Leo Steinbach Russell Adams Keith Allen Cecil Anderson Charles Anderson Wayne Anderson Walden Askren jack Beebout Marvin Benson Dick Bentz Bill Bingaman David Blackman Donald Blubaugh Lewis Borchert Darold Braida Verne Byers Richard Callison Bob Carlson Lyle Carpenter Dean Carson Wayne Carson Leo Catrennich Bill Chambers jay Chandler Ben Clayton Thomas Corbett Marvin Cottrell Bob Darrah Elmer Darrah Rex Darrah Phil Delpierre Richard Delpierre Raymond Dishman Verle Dutheld jim Durham john Durham Vaughn Eddy Norman Etter Charles Finch Harold Fitzpatrick jim Garrett Darl Gilliland Danny Goodwin Bob Gray Doyle Gripp Merrill Gripp joe Halferty Hubert Harrington john Harvey Robert Hensley David Hixson Keith Hoch jerry Hull Fred Irving Vernon Jenkins Bob johnson jack johnson Ralph johnson Robert Johnson Kenneth Johnston Tom Kelley Adrain Klepinger Bob Kneeland john Landess john Larson jack Lellenberg Bill Leonard Worth Loynachan Tom Luckett Lester McCollum Ronald McDowell Bernard McRoberts Bob McRoberts Eugene Mahoney Leroy Major Bill Milnes Edgar Morrison Bill Morse Larry Morton Donald Mullen Lloyd Mullins Frank Munch Trefor Munch Robert Myers Stanton Needles Bill Offenburger Bill Paige Bernard Parker Carl Pearson Charles Pedigo Donald Peterson Rodney Peterson Stephen Pettinger Gene Pierce john Pierschbacher Walter Pierschbacher Rex Phillips Daryl Reid Ronald Ruble Wayne Schmidt Dick Selby Marvin Shimp Don Shippee Guy Spencer Leo Steinbach Bill Stewart Frances Storm jack Sullivan Dean Terrell Don Wells Aryl Whitlatch Nicky Whitlatch Melvin Willits Donald Wilson Paul Winchell HF.

F.F.A. basketball teams were chosen and six games were scheduled for the year. Swine, dairy cattle, beef, sheep, poultry and small grain composed the boy's main projects. A definite service to the farmers of the community was the F.F.A. seed- testing service, which tested approximately 100 samples of seed for germina- tion and purity. Likewise was the service of fruit tree pruning and spraying. Plans are being attempted for an annual F.F.A. trip during a two week period each summer. Wfe are proud of you, our Future Farmers of America, keep up your good work! 46 , 8 to IQ! William Offenburger Secre- S 3 sf 4 Q ii ffl- my .LK,- . Q- 4351 's f xii A V K . 4 ,Vx Q . 5 I 3 .

Los Buscadoresn The Spanish Club, composed of the second year Spanish students, has a membership of fourteen. Organized just before Christmas, the club held meetings once a month. At the December meeting the members exchanged gifts and enjoyed the program which was given in Spanish. Near the end of the year, the students were entertained by a Spanish assembly program. The name of the club, Los Buscadoresf' when translated into English, means The Seekers. It is hoped that the Spanish Club may continue throughout the coming years, that students may enjoy studying the Spanish language, and in this man- ner may become better friends with our Neighbors of the South. 49 I , -' i , ,iw P DEAN iiieNEisi-I a 'E ' 'FWL l, i, I .

Any boy in the tenth, eleventh or twelfth grade of a secondary school is eligible if he has earned an athletic letter by taking active part in one major sport. His average for three consecutive semesters must be equal to or higher than the general average of the school. He must have exemplified the highest type of citizenship and sportsman- ship. The purposes of this boys' organization are: to foster high scholar- ship among boy athletes, to stimulate a desire for balanced training, to evaluate the ideas of sportsmanship, and to develop more outstand- ing leaders in the secondary schools of the United States. .Il I l FIRST ROW, Left to Right-Marvin Cottrell, Dean McNeish, Bill Stewart, John Durham, Carl Pearson, Bob Erickson, Bill Bingaman, Walden Askren, Donald Shippee.

At Homecoming, our band drilled and played before an appreciative crowd and during the year presented many interesting con- certs for the publics' beneht. New uniforms were purchased during the First semester and donned for the first time for the benefit- of the photographer. The jackets being a bright tur- key red with gold braid on sleeve and shoulder and the black trousers with the gold stripe created a color- ful, and impressive atmosphere during the groups various performances throughout the remainder of the year. Hats off to Mr. Thompson for his wonderful work! sa The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Floren Thompson, was an inspiration to everyone during the past year. The twenty-one members of this group entertained an appreciative audience between acts of the junior play with their harmonious versions of appropriate numbers. At the Christmas program a delighted audience heard the, orchestra's beautiful rendition of the Christmas carol, Silent Night. Although limited by a lack of stringed instru- ments, the orchestra has been truly a good member of Chariton High School's musical groups. 59 3 '92, Oo GJ, ft 4 ao 0 ,L xr!

M arguerite Delpierre THE St315Nia-On board H.M.S. Pinafore, an English Ship. THE STORY H.M.S. Pinafore is the story of a lass who loved a sailor. At the beginning of Act I, Buttercup confesses that, in spite of her jolly appearance, a mysterious secret weighs heavy on her heart. Ralph Rackstraw, a sim- ple sailor lowly born, confides to the crew that he is in love with Josephine, the Captairfs daughter, but loath- some Dick Deadeye rebulis his aspiring hopes by saying that captains' daughters are not in the habit of marry- ing humble seamen. In a scene together, the Captain admits to Buttercup that he is worried because his daugh- ter refuses to marry Sir Joseph. Josephine, knowing how class-conscious her father is, finally consents to listen to Sir Joseph's proposal, even though she doesn't love him, until Ralph confesses his love for her and she hers for him, which completes their plans for eloping. Act II finds the Captain secretly loving Buttercup, but he realized that the difference in their social stand- ing can never result in anything more than a friendship. He dismisses Buttercup from his mind for the time being after Dick Deadeye informs him of the elopement plans between Josephine and Ralph. Captain Cor- coran then hides and nips the plan in the bud, forbidding them to proceed. Coming aboard the Pinafore we find Sir Joseph, who learns of the elopement, and because he is the Ruler of the Queen's Naveef' orders Ralph to a dungeon. But wait! At last Buttercup unloads her troubled heart, solving the mystery. When the infant Ralph and the infant Captain were entrusted to her care, she mixed the children up, an episode which now reveals Ralph to be the rightful Captain, and the Captain to be Ralph. This solves everything. Sir Joseph cannot think of marrying Josephine, so he contents himself with his cousin Hebe. Now it is permissible for Ralph to marry Josephine, and the Captain, who is now a mere member of the crew, can fulfill his burning desire to marry Buttercup. Everyone is satisfied but the audience, which always wants mote. 66 One-act plays NOBODY SLEEPSH Spike ............... james Durham Daisy Bixby ,,.. Marguerite Dclpierre Adu Bixby ,....... . .

B ill Stewart PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Jane, the sweet-tempered beauty of the family, is not apt to prove a problem. Flirtatious Lydia elopes with a penniless-but handsome-young officer. But Elizabeth is so critical that her good looks hardly count. Wlien her clergyman cousin comes to court her, she brushes him off without a second glance. Mama, the matchmaker, is frantic! Then jane falls deeply in love with the wealthy Mr. Bingley fa real catchj, and it looks as if an affair is possible between Elizabeth and Mr. Bingley's friend, Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy is a proud young man, and is shocked by Mama's vulgar attempts at matchmaking. He not only whisks himself off to London, but takes Mr. Bingley with him-before he is ensnared. Jane is heartbroken, and pines away until she becomes ill. Elizabeth is enraged that such an injustice should be done dear, sweet Jane. And then Mr. Darcy comes back to propose to Elizabeth against his better judgment. She promptly tells him No! and berates him for taking Mr. Bingley away and breaking Janes heart. But the deep attraction between Elizabeth and Darcy triumphs over the pride of one and the prejudice of the other, and both couples are reunited. Mrs. Bennet is delighted! Three daughters married! Now she can concentrate on her other two daughters. FIRST ROW, Left to Right-Donna Nichols, Margaret NIcGrath, Virginia Patterson, Norma Oliver, June Trout- man, Patty Fogle.

They have shown strong determination which added to their skills and all around abilities, made them another of Chariton's outstanding teams. Along with the many victories were a few bitter defeats which were hard to takeg nevertheless, they kept on playing and were rated by many schools as a team to be feared. We can wish nothing better for future teams than that they might show the splendid skill, loyalty, and cooperation which were largely responsible for the success of this year's Chargers. 82 1 1 Colts The Colts, composed of freshmen and sophomores demonstrated their ability in many thrilling curtain-raisersf' FIRST ROW, Left to Right-Mr. Snell, Coachg Charles Fuhs, Cecil Woodcock, Don Wells, Rex Phillips, Leo Stein- bach, Jim Levis, Paul Shupe, Bernard Parker, Sam Beardsley, Stanton Needles, Student Manager.
