'kit The senior class of '46 wishes to thank the Board of Education for their unsclfish co- operation throughout the four years the seniors have been in high school. The Board decides on all important matters of policy concerning the schools. Their wide range of activities includes the appropriation of the necessary funds for financing the school and deciding on the policies of the school. The Board of Education consists of six members elected by the people of the school district. Two members are elected to serve three-year terms. The officers of the Board are selected by the members at the organization meeting held each spring. The members of the Board for this year arc: J. W. Gannaway, Maurice Rominger, Hor- ace Clark, George Hill, Fred Frommel, and A. E. Craig. Among their other duties, the Board em- ploys a superintendent who takes charge of running the schools, keeping the school fi- nances in order, seeing that the schools are well-supplied with equipment, and employ- ing teachers to fill vacancies. U. B. Jeffries has been Superintendent of the Charleston Public Schools for the last several years. These men have served untiringly on our behalf to insure high standards of education at Charleston High School. Left to right: Mr. Frommel, M11 Hill, Mr. Gannaway, Mr. Rominger, Supt. Jeffries, Mr. Craig. l'H l Um Zzawnliaffta Thanks should go to the men and women who make up the faculty as they have guided us from our green freshman year to our senior year. Several of the teachers have been members of the CHS faculty for a number of years and others have come to Char- leston High School during the last year. Several of the new men teachers are ex-G. I.'s and their tales of their war experiences add interest to the class discussion. William Morton, who replaced Mrs. Boley as teacher of journalism and social studies, ser- ved with an army tank crew. Sam Blackwell, the head coach, was in the Navy, while Harold Hall, an- other social studies teacher and assistant coach, serv- ed in the Army Air Corps.

The students are urged more and more to express their different views, both of school and outside affairs. Discussions in the social studies classes are especially helpful in bringing out the different ideas of the students. They are able to think and give their opinions on various subjects which are brought up by the teacher in order to start the discussion. In our English classes, speech is taught and the students give a number of speeches throughout the year, thus giving not only their own ideas, but the ideas of the authors of many different articles on the chosen subject. Many times during the year speakers are brought to our school to give talks. Some are from the church, to give reli- gious views, some are from different organiza- tions about our town, and others are from out- side the community. These also wish to give their viewpoints on their ideals. Freedom of Speech is our own stepping-stone to greater things. It is the realization of ambi- tions long dreamed of. Without the right to speak our own minds we would never make any progress along the road of success. Yes, we must have Freedom of Speech in our lives.

Once they were unfortun- ate in losing their sponsor, Mrs. Mildred Boley, in January, but this was made up for when Mr. White took her place as class sponsor and Mr. Morton took her place as home room sponsor. Miss Norrington was the other junior home room sponsor. The other unfortunate circumstance arose when it was dis- covered that their class rings would not be received until fall. November 16th marked an important date as this was when A LITTLE HONEY, the junior class play, proved quite a success under the direction of Mrs. Mary Steppe Roman. From the proceeds of this the juniors contributed the money for the final payment on the stage flats. Junior Carnival night finally arrived, and such a carnival as was had. Fish- ing, cake walks, hat and trinket selling, refreshment stands, bingo stands, box- ing bouts, and boys parading in girls' clothing for a style show, dancing, and don't forget the two clownsg all of this JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Wesley Witters, Wanda Wierman, and Dwight McEIwce went to make up a gay evening. The high-light of the evening came when Madonna Gordon and Jerry Curtis were crowned King and Queen. A well-planned menu, a good orchestra iPaul Douglasj, unique decorations, pronounced the final success of the juniors as the Banquet and Prom went over big on April 27 at the Country Club. A job well done and the juniors of 1946 stand as a challenge to the junior class- es that are to come. ROW 1 . . . J. Adair, M. Adair R. Adams, F. Adkins, J Bacon ROW 2 ers, R. Briggs, R.

One of the major purposes of our school is to help each of us to make ourselves free from want. But, you may ask, How can the school help to make us free from want? In school we learn to participate in the practices of democratic citi- zenshipg to know what each of us should expect to contribute to our country and the world, as well as what we have a right to expect in return. This will enable us to do our share toward keep- ing the kind of government under which we can work most effectively in our efforts to provide for our needs, both spiritual and material. In school we learn to live with people under various conditions, an essential to happy and fruitful living at any time. We also gain knowledge and ability in school which will be of great value to us in earning a living in later years, making it possible for us to be free from the want of material things. In these and many other ways the public school helps us to achieve Freedom from Want. Let us each accept our share of the responsibili- ty for making this great dream come true. .a,.4.-veal-1:4 1 ,L.vm, . I -...ww-r, ,,,','! 'w -I - f . W -T.. M51 i M. 'Qt In ,W ri f' , in.. ACTIVITIES 4444444444-Y-4444-V-44 RBCOJM Shfffwf The editing of the school annual, namely The Recorder, is taken care of by the Recorder Staff. The staff is comprised of seniors who edit the book and juniors who learn how to issue the yearbook. The faculty sponsor of the Recorder Staff is Mr. Price. Besides putting out the book the Recorder Staff must also raise the money to fin- ance the expenses of issuing the book. Raising money is a big problem and it is handled by the Business Staff. Through sales of popcorn, cookies, eskimo pies, school pencils, and other projects such as a magician's show and the Snowball Dance, the Business Staff managed to raise suf- ficient funds to finance the book. The big affair of the year for the Record- er Staff was the Snowball Dance. This is a semi-formal dance held the night be- fore Christmas Vacation starts. Although the dance was not largely attended it was enjoyed by all those who were there. The officers of the staff are: Kenneth Bidle, Editor-in-chief, Jim Grant, Sports Editor, Bob Stillions, Business Editor, Marian Myers, Feature Editor, Charois Turner, Class Editor, and Herman Butler, Photography Manager.

Freeman One of the most important organiza- tions at C. H. S. is the band. Composed of forty-three members, the band was in- structed by Mrs. Eleanor Freeman. Hardly an activity occurs but what the band has taken some part in it. The band plays at the pep meetings and at the home football and basketball games. Two con- certs were given by the band and both of them were highly appreciated. The entire band and various ensembles and soloists played in the school assem- blies and also before clubs and other organ- izations. The ensembles and soloists also took part in the district and regional music contests. An ensemble from the band fur- nished the music during the intermissions at the class plays. During the year several members of the band organized a dance band which played at a few fun nights and was a big hit with the students. The Charleston High band also took part in the E. I, S. T. College homecoming, and in the American Legion band contest held at Mattoon. Plans were also made for the bard to present several concerts during the sum- mer. ,ii A I '5 ti , .... , . all it ,V ,Way ., Wt. Miva., W Il mum lf'lLllN'l' IUIXX' . , , X. liriulm-I'. IZ.

The two girls choruses of this year were composed of around one hundred members under the direction of Miss Rowena Rose. Throughout the year two classes met at two different times each week. The first class met on Tuesday and Thursday of each week during the sixth period. The second class met during the seventh period on Monday and Wednesday of each week. The two choruses gave performances as a whole at the Music Festival at E. I. S. T. C., at the district contest during the spring, at which time they were given a first division rating, and later went to sec- tional contest at Peoria to be given a sec- ond division rating. Along with the boys chorus they pre- sented the annual Christmas Vespers be- sides performing on several different oc- casions during the year at v a rio u s churches. There was a mixed chorus composed of voices chosen by Miss Rose which met on Friday of each week. This chorus, too, went to district contest and received a second division rating. They were also in the Music Festival at E. I. S. T. C. From the choruses Miss Rose selected two soloists who were entered in contests, and two girl sextets, one of which was sent to the sectional contest and received a first division rating. The two girl soloists were Charlotte Monticue and Joan Blue. Dollie Davidson and Peggy Wells ac- companied the girls choruses. l Ton Row . . . I'. Robinson. J. Johnson, U. 'l' u r n na 1' , M.

They met two times a week during the seventh hour on Tuesday and Thursday. Entered in the district contest, they received a sec- ond division rating. They participated in the Music Festival which was held at the local college. From the chorus came such fine soloists as Tom Clark, Bob Perry, and Bob Ferris. Tom Clark and Bob Ferris were seniors this year and so they won't be around next year. A boys octet was composed of eight boys from the chorus. Both the soloists and the octet were favorites for the many different clubs and churches in the city. The octet was composed of Tom Clark, Bob Perry, Bob Ferris, Dannie Davidson, Jerry Scribner, Bob Glosser, and Max Moses. BOYS CHORUS Back Row . . . ll, llnvillslm, -Q. R. Calhoun, J.

Miss Mary Roach was replaced by Miss Catherine Wilson when she left the faculty to be married. First of their many activities was the sponsoring of the dance after the Lincoln- Charleston High football game. Although the football game didn't go so well the dance was a great hit. Other activities in- cluded the sending of ten girls to the G. A. A. Play Day which was held at Mat- toon. During basketball season the girls took part in several basketball games and also entered fourteen girls in the Telegraphic Basket Shooting Tournament. The G.A.A. girls also played the women members of the faculty and won by a 12-3 score. New members were initiated into the club and the annual G. A.

Miss Nickel, who also serves as dean of girls, teaches two classes of bookkeep- ing, two classes of typing, an office prac- tice class, and one commercial law class. First and second year of shorthand, and one class of typing consist of Miss Wilson's commercial subjects, but she also teaches girls physical education. General business, taken principally by freshmen, is the one commercial subject taught by Mr. Peters, who also teaches math and acts as dean of boys and assistant principal. 4444444444-V-4444444 0-Cid! f++ At least one and a half years of social studies are required for a graduating stu- dent including a semester of American His- tory and a semester of American govern- ment. ln the history department there have been a few faculty changes as the year pro- gressed, but in the classes of economics, civics, sociology, and geography, Mr. Hall was the teacher throughout the year. During the first semester Mrs. Boley taught two American history classes and two world history classes in addition to journalism. Upon her departure Mr. Mor- ton took oyer. Miss Hamilton turned over her one history class to Mr. Phipps so she could coach the dramatic productions. l'.Xlll'I 'l'llIli'l'Y-'l'llIil'Il'I L g l Mr. Peters Mr. White ' 'l 'kink Math is the subject in which you are either riht or wrong and there's no way of getting out of it. This is the firm belief and policy carried out by Mr. Harry White and Mr. William Peters, the mathematics teachers in our school. The freshmen had their choice of general math or algebra to be taken in the freshman year. Whichever one he took fand by all means he had to take one or the otherj he found himself in the presence of Mr. White. Mr. White also taught advanced al- gebra the first semester and commercial arithmetic second semester. If you like math and wish to tackle more you find Mr. Peters at your service in plane geom- etry, a full year course, solid g e o m e t r y, and trigonometry which are semester subjects. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 PAGE 'l'IllR'I'Y-FOUR X 4 .

Miss Jewell Bailey was instructor of this department as she replaced Mrs. Mabel Kizer who resigned just before Christmas holidays, The event of the year occurs in a style show with each girl parading in her own hand-made duds. They look quite nice as the clothes are well-made and are the right style for the indi- vidua . .091 if 1 Our department of foreign language was headed this year by Miss Edna Norrington. Two years each of Spanish and Latin were taught. Latin is perhaps the most useful of the two as much of the English vocabulary origrinated from it. In the field of science a knowledge of l,atin is essential. Spanish is important, too. The high-light of the year for the Mrs. Kizer Miss Hailey Spanish class was the participation of the second year students in the presentation of an assembly program, Spanish songs coming from the phonograph were chief interests especially if the Spanish students could sing with it. l'.-Mil-I 'lllllill llXl g +f+ English is a subject just like a disease- good or bad depending upon your likes and dislikes-it takes four years to get rid of this particular disease. English in each class consists of, gen- erally, one semester of grammar, speeches, and themes finishing off with a semester of literature which puts one in the posi- tion of absorbing poetry, biographies, stories, themes and what have you. In the senior year speech is the main Mrs. Roman Mr. Phipps course ranging from one- to fifteen-minute speeches, some of which are carefully pre- pared with outlines, others are impromptu which you make up as you go. Another type is the gong speech, while giving this kind the bell is gonged each time an error in speech is made. Miss Harriet Tate is senior English teacherg she also has two sophomore classes. In junior English we have Mr. Hugh Phipps, Jr., who replaced Mrs. Roman. He also has a sophomore class. Completing the staff of English is Miss Neva Sloan who teaches the fresh- men. l'Alll'I 'l'll lR'l'Y-:SIX Mr. Dent Science is one field in which you can learn something new each day of your life and still not begin to learn the half of it. Mr. Walter Dent and Mr. Charles Haggard head the science department. General science is taken by all by re- quirement in their freshman year. This subject is taught by both teachers. Mr. Dent takes charge of chemistry and physics. In these two subjects on two days each week, two successive periods are spent in the respective laboratories where Science-H Mr. Haggzird anything can happen. Aeronautics and pre- induction math are also taught by Mr. Dent. Botany and Zoology, in which plants and animals are studied, also has labora- tory periods. These two are semester sub- jects taught by Mr. Haggard. A new sub- ject for which seniors were eligible was in- troduced by Mr. Haggard this year. This was Health Education, which has been taught only the last semester. PA ljl-I 'l'Il IRT Y-Ali X' ld N eww f ff The Library club, which was organized in 1938, plays an important part in the every- day school life. Members of the library club have charge of checking the attend- ance in the library. They also take charge of checking the many books in and out to the students. A faculty member an'd a student librar- ian have charge of the reading library and a student librarian has charge of the refer- ence library. The current magazines and papers are used a great deal. Many books Miss Hamilton are checked in and out of the library and the reference library is in constant use by students who are looking for speech ma- terial or doing reference work. Miss Hamilton was the faculty advisor of the library club. She worked steadily during the year cataloguing the many magazines and books and ordering new books. A contest was held between members of the library club to see which could pre- sent the best poster advertising the differ- ent sections of books in the library. l BACK ROW . . . E. Cox, D. S.

A scholarship average of 4.25 is required for membership. Service means willingness to render any service to the school, or to the community, when called upon. In leadership the student must be thoroughly dependable in any re- sponsibility he accepts. As to character, he upholds the principles of morality and ethics. . Candidates must have spent at least one year in Charleston High School, and shall be members of the Junior and Senior Class. All pupils who can reach this standard of scholarship are admitted to candidacy for elec- tion to membership. Their eligibility shall then be considered on the basis of their service, leadership, scholarship, and character. 1 Members of the sophomore class may be chosen as probationary mem- bers of the chapter. They may be admitted to full membership when they become Juniors, provided they continue to meet the required standards.

The highest award a boy can receive in athletics at Charleston High is the sports- manship award in either basketball or foot- ball. This year Jim Grant received the award in football and Dennis Cougill re- ceived the trophy in basketball. Both boys were justly qualified to receive these awards. These awards have been given since 1927 in football and since 1928 in basket- ball. A committee composed of a fans' representative, the President of the School Board, the Superintendent of S c h o ol s , the Principal of Charleston High, and the athletic coaches make these awards. Jim Grant has attended Charleston High four years and has taken an active part in athletics. He lettered two years in football and one year in track. He was a member of the F.F.A. and Sports Editor of the Recorder. Dennis Cougill has also attended CHS four years. He has lettered in both bas- ketball and track. He also played the cor- net in the concert band. Both boys were members of the ath- letic C Club and were outstanding stu- dents at Charleston High. lXfl l RIX Nl FREEDOM FROM FEAR... all ff Q2 NN ffl 1 J fffx wk Xl '-. ll K X Hmm .muummm. ,v' TAN!

This is an ideal: actually there will always be fear in our world as long as there are people. Not necessarily fear of agression but fear of the unknown, fear of insecurity and fear of ourselves. We have just won a victory in battle that will be remembered until the end of time. Victor- ies of this calibre do not just happen. They re- quire intelligence, courage, industry and a whole- some respect for the ability of the enemy. Many of our leaders in this victory were equipped with a background of athletic competition. Foundations of character built on the foot- ball line construct strong moral fiber that will better aid us to face trying conditions. No one sport, but all high school athletics, afford oppor- tunities to encounter these experiences. If we can face the challenge of peace, as we faced the challenge of war, the tomorrow of America remains secure. 1 0-fill Malayan No athletic team could have any degree of suc- cess if it weren't for the careful planning of the managers. The managers handle the athletic equipment and do the taping and give rub-downs to the play- ers. Bill Grimes, senior, has managed during all his four years in high school. Butch McElwee has just started but he is learning the ropes of managing. Glenn Shortie Temple is a sophomore and will be star in the manager spot for two more years. 8 an, Virginia Sullivan and Bob Glosser worked hard all through football and basketball sea- sons to boost the morale of the teams. With such leaders our school spirit has often meant the difference between victory and defeat. We're saying thanks to them for their color- ful routines which have been the talk of the conference.

Bob was our fastest back who was used on trick plays. He was converted to the backfield from end in mid-season. Hr. played very well as a back. JIM GRANT-Senior-CQBD . . . Jim was the field general of the team. He was an exceptional blocker for his weight and invited contact at all times. JERRY CURTIS-Senior-QLHBJ . . . Jerry was a triple threat back. He ran, kicked and passed well. He should help a college team with his toe. BILL RENDFELD--Junior-QHBE . . . Bill should be the back field man next year around whom the team will be built. He is also a good runner and passer. DARRELL EATON -Senior CFBJ . . . Darrell was one of the best line back- ers in the league and helped to make a mediocre line look good. VERNON MAY-Sophomore-CREJ . . . Verny proved himself to be a very capable pass receiver and was better than average on defense. He will be an even greater asset to his team in 1946 and '47. JOHN FREDE-Senior-CCD . . . Johnny was the other defensive line backer and was quick to figure out the plays of the opposing team. He was a good team man playing both center and guard on offense.

Kenny, rather small in size, made up for it in his ability to play and the desire to play football. He played both center and guard on the offense. DICK ADAMS-Junior-QLEJ . . . Dick played right half back and was good to intercept passes. His ability to think under pressure will help his team mates next season. BRUCE MASON-Sophomore--CRTJ . . . Bruce is a rough tackle and a boy who made a place for himself on the team by forgetting to be friends in scrimmage. JAY COMER-Senior-QLTJ . . . Jay played left tackle on defense because of his ability to recognize weak side plays. He was sturdy and never be- came disconcerted, a typical weak side tackle. BOB FERRIS--Senior-CRTJ . . . This is the first year that Bob has been out for football. Bob kicked the con- versions for us and made over 50 per cent of them. PAUL BURRUS-Senior--CRGJ . . . Paul was injured early in the season.

This year's team won 24 and lost 7. They defeated such strong teams as Tay- lorville, Urbana, Casey, Normal, and Teutopolis. Averaging 40 points per game this year's hardwood five was very popular as a crowd pleaser. Char- leston was well balanced featuring a dangerous fast break with eight men who were capable of hitting the hoop. Their best game of the season was against Greenup whom they defeated 57 to 37.

Jerry was rated second highest scorer on the team. JOHN FREDE was an excellent ball handler and a good long shot. This was John's senior year and he played a very effective guard. He was very good at breaking down the other teams' defense. BOB SIMPSON, who was a senior, played his first year of varsity basketball. Bob was a good ball handler and an excellent feeder. He was good as a rebounder and a defensive man. JACK CLAYTON was a junior and played forward on this year's team. Jack was the fastest man but was bothered by a lame ankle most of the season. He was a good ball hand- ler and a good long shot. BOB FERRIS, who was a senior, acted as center on the team. He was a good defensive rebounder and a good shot in and around the basket. He helped to make the T-Zone defense very effective by playing center. DENNIS COUGILL, a senior, played for- ward. He was a good shot and was at his best against a zone defense. A determined rebound- er at both boards, Dennis played his first year of high school basketball. VERNY MAY, a sophomore, played the for- ward position and was high scorer for the year. A good rebounder on both offense and defense, Verny specialized in tip-in shots for a good por- tion of his scoring. DICK ADAMS was the varsity's best shot at the free throw lane. Dick, a junior, played forward, and was good at getting his guard off balance. PAGE Forvrr-NINE 7'l6CA+w+ The Annual Intramural Track Meet open- ed the track season for Charleston High. Much competition was found between the classes. Next, they competed in the T. C. Relays, which was a practice meet for the Tiger Relays, held the following week at Paris. The Charleston Open Meet proved to be the highlight of the season, as the Tro- jans won with Captain Darrell Eaton, Jerry Curtis, Bob Ferris, Dick Day, Verny May, Jack Clayton, and Bob Cooley show- ing up well that day. These boys went on and carried the burden for the rest of the year. Charleston showed that they had strength by winning 3rd in the E. I. League and with Bob Ferris breaking the discus record, which was the only one broken that day. Meeting stiff competition in the Wa- bash Valley Meet, Ferris and Curtis were the only two that placed, but it was good experience for the other boys. Following that, they completed the track season by taking fourth place in the District Meet, with Ferris breaking the only record of the day, and going on to the state. The Cinder-men this year were build- ing for the next two years, when track should hit its peak at Charleston High. 744446 Schedule March 26-Intramural Meet --- --- Here April 5-Varsity Meet ...... --- T.

Although we have teachers and students with various religious faiths, in no in- stance is there any effort made, either direct or indirect, to impose a particular faith upon any student. Students and teachers alike value re- ligion as an important part of our way of lifeg at the same time, all are tolerant of the beliefs of others-fully considerate of the right of each in- dividual to live according to his own religious standards. In our school, freedom of religion is not in- terpreted as being the same as freedom from re- ligion. On occasion several of the ministers of the community have been invited to bring a mes- sage to our assembly. Students themselves have shared in services which were religious in their nature. At Thanksgiving and Easter we have re- ligious services in the school. At Christmas time the choruses present a vesper service at one of the local churches. Ministers of our churches always share in the baccalaureate and commence- ment programs at the close of the year. Yes, we believe in religion-and in real freedom of reli- gion, the right of each individual person to wor- ship as he pleases. This is a fundamental part of our education. 4444444444-Y-4444444 Q41 Wi af ar Miss Linda Williams, escorted by Freeland Brown, reigned as Queen of the annual homecoming dance which was held after the Paris-CHS football game on October 5th, The coronation procession was led by the crown bearer. The attendants formed a semi-circle around the throne while Sup- erintendent U. B. Jeffries crowned the queen. The procession then marched off to the strains of Pomp and Circum- stance. Queen Linda Williams led the follow- ing dance which was played for the queen and her attendants. Freshmen atten- dants were: Donna Wright, escorted by Kenneth Bidle, and Dorothy Hall escorted by Paul Burrus. Sophomores attendants were: Virginia Sullivan, escorted by Doyle Fitzpatrick, and Wilma Haskin, escorted by George Benge. Madonna Gordon, es- corted by Bob Cooley and Margie Kackley escorted by Bill Rendfeld were junior at- tendants. The senior attendant was El- len Decker and her escort was Tom Clark. The Homecoming dance was spon- sored by the Student Council under the direction of Miss Tate. Although the dance floor was very crowded due to the fact that this was an open dance, all who attended enjoyed the dance very much. IRAGIC FIFTY-SIX uniofz-Seniafz f7aamH,. Under soft lights and with mellow music the Juniors and Seniors, classes of 46 and 47 , held their annual prom. This affair is always given by the juniors. It was held this year at the Country Club and the theme of the prom was a flower garden. The beautiful decorations were carried out in the theme. The sponsor of the junior class to whom most of the credit for the prom should go is Mr. Harry White. With quite a few assistants from the jun- ior class and the aid of Mr. William Mor- ton and Miss Edna Norrington, other jun- ior home room sponsors, he and the class did a wonderful job. The banquet was at 6:30. A delightful dinner served by sev- eral sophomore girls was greatly enjoyed. A trio, consisting of Joan Blue, Charlotte lVIonticue, and Virginia Sullivan sang two songs which fitted into the theme. Also there were several guest speakers. These were: Mr. White, Wesley Witters, Bob Stillions, and Bill Grimes. The tables and chairs were then cleared away and the dance was started with the dream music of Paul Douglas and his orchestra. Rosa- lie Fogleman sang. All That It Seemed To Be , with the orchestra after she was requested to do so by several of the stu- dents. Everyone lingered as long as pos- sible. The prom was a great success this year, we know you will agree. We hope there will be many more like it in the years to come. 44-V-4444444444-V-4444 PAGE l-'Il 'l'Y-SICVICN plaqfff One of the highlights of the Senior year at C. H. S. was the senior play entitled, The Doctor Has A Daughter , which was presented on March 22 in the auditorium. The play was capably directed by Miss Virginia Hamilton. The comedy centered around the ad- ventures and misadventures of Miss Tom- my Billings, a small town junior miss, who has seen too many movies for her own or anyone else's good. Although very lov- able, Tommy has an over-active imagina- tion when trying to help people, but it seems that she really only gets them into trouble. Tommy has a busy time answer- ing Lonely Hearts advertisments, re-writ- ing their school play, getting money for her father's clinic, and patching up brok- en hearts, but All's well that ends well, sighs Tommy, and her friends are forced to agree with this sub-deb package of dynamite. The cast for the play was made up of the following senior class members: Marian Myers, playing the part of Tom- my, the above mentioned lass, who re- wrote their school play, Charios Turner, Dodo , Tommy's friend, who just simply loves apples, candy, peanuts, and Chuck Hall, who likes Tommy, Pat Smith, Cleo- ta , a maid who gets all excited over her Lonely Hearts correspondence and has a very sweet version of Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life , and really fixes her hair up right with her curlers, Bernice Ogden, Mrs. Billings , who gets very aggravated at Tommy although she is a very under- standing mother, Tom Clark, Doc Bill- ings , who thinks his daughter has car- ried movies too far. Helen Jo O'Day as Flora Lee Bill- ings , is an older and more reserved daughter of the Billings, who worries over love affairs, Bill Grimes, Chuck Hall , who is forced to take the part of Mark Anthony in the school play which Tommy wrote, Donna Biggs, Lulu Thaxter , a very cultivated school teacher, Bob Stil- lions, David Torrence , in love with Flora Lee, Barbara Adair, t'Cassandra , who is really hot-tempered and hasn't smiled since Grant took Richmond , Paul Bur- rus, Ed Smith , a hot-tempered man throwing words back and forth with Cas- sandra, and Charles Wiseman, Mr, Cod- dle , who received letters from both Aunt Cassandra and the maid. A large crowd attended the play and it was enjoyed by all. STANDING B. Ogden, B. Adair, H. O'Day, R. Stillions, . . . P. Smith, C. Wiseman, C. Turner, T. Clark, P. Burrus SEATED. . . D. Biggs, M.

The jun- ior play was directed by Mrs. Mary Roman and was one of the many events which the juniors sponsored during the year. The play, which was a war comedy, revolved around the Minton family. The daughter, Diana, was played by Wanda Wierman, a pretty girl who has lost her feminine touch while doing war work. Tom Corning, a naval officer, played by Jim Wiley, doesn't especially care for the change, but together they add the rom- ance to the story. Jerry Minton, played by Margie Kack- ley, is a bobby soxer, pert and attractive, and she practically leads her fond admir- er, Albert-Bob Perry took this part- around by the nose. Albert has a car which seldom runs. Scoots Minton, alias Madonna Gordon, is a nine-year old child. and she adds lots of humor to the story. Mr. Minton, the father of these three girls, is a little on the henpecked side and when he becomes entangled with a charm- ing widow who has a devastating southern accent, and a roaming eye, the play tends to be highly humorous. Dick Hampsten played the part of the father and Anna Marie Irby filled the role of the southern widow very capably. Mrs. Minton, who is really head of the Minton family, is played by Jo Ann Sissell. She bosses the cook and pampers Grandma Thorton who is entirely capable of help- ing herself. Delores Megglehammer is the cook and on the side acts as a crusad- er. This role was played by Norma Kel- ler. Grandma Thorton is played by Ferne Adkins and she is a little woman with a big heart and active tongue. Grandma is taken care of by Mrs. Simmons, who gets no joy out of life and who always wears a glum expression on her face. This role was very capably played by Alberta Elston. Last but not least of the cast was Dwight McElwee, who arrives in the play as the Sure-Shot man, a bug exterminator who enters the house of the Mintons to kill bugs on the third floor. The play was excellently presented to a capacity crowd who enjoyed every minute of the three-act comedy. PAC-F1 FIF'l'i'-NINE 44444444-Y444444-444 :mica 6 iff Madonna Gordon and Jerry Curtis held the limelight as they were crowned queen and king of the Junior Carnival held in the CHS gym on March 29. The corona- tion climaxed a series of carnival attrac- tions which the juniors had offered as entertainment. As the carnival started, carnival hats and other novelties were offered for sale. With the bingo and other stands and the two junior clowns, the carnival became a gala affair. Next on the entertainment picture was the Cakewalk which held the attention of all the happy-go-lucky kids. The boxing ring then took the spot- light with George Benge paired against Bill Lang and Bruce Mason versus Bob Ferris. Draws were called in both fights. A very un-orthodox style show was the last of carnival attractions. In this style show junior boys appeared in girls cloth- ing and it was very odd to see a bathing beauty with hair on her chest. After an hour of dancing, Jerry and Madonna were crowned King and Queen. There attendants were: Senior-Wanda Swinford and Darrell Eaton, Junior-Pat Huffman and Jack Clayton, Sophomores- Virginia Sullivan and Verny May, and Freshmen-Madonna Myers and Joe Rend- feld. The crownbearers were Jerry and Larry Hill, twin brothers of the queen's attendant, Pat Huffman. The carnival was very successfull as entertainment as all those who attended will assert.
