Koehler William E. Cording Wm. C-. Sterrenberg President BOARD OF EDUCATION Arthur G. Walter T. C. Ford J. D. Monahan The governing body of Chatsv orth Township High School is the board of education composed of a president elected for one year and six members who serve three years. Charles F. Shafer is employed by the board to act as secretary. Regular meetings are held the first Monday evening of every month to transact all business of running the school. This past year the voters of the district rejected a measure that would have given C. T. H. S. an addition to the present building for Home Economics and Agriculture departments. In spite of the lack of a special room for these departments, the board made provision for the teaching of Agriculture this year. Students of all four classes have enrolled in the course. A special music teacher was engaged this year to teach both vocal and instrumental music in the high school, through cooperation with the Chatsv.orth Grade school board. The two schools share the services of this special Instructor. Two members of the board, Mr. William E. Cording, president of the board for 3 years and Mr. J. D. Monahan, a member for 14 years, are retiring this year after giving faithful service to the school. Dr. S. H. McKean has been elected president and Mr. John Lawless, member of the board to fill these vacancies. (5) William A. Kibler Principal Civlcs--Law Comm. Arithmetic 111. Wesleyan Univ. B. 5.

To raise money for the G. A. A., a slot-machine-type coco-cola stand was installed in the upper hall of the high school. This has proved worth while as the money rolls In steadily.

Roach, Treas.: Mrs. Charles Culkin, Sec.s Vivian See, Vice President: Willis Pearson, Pres. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Prior to 1938 the alumni association of C. T. H. S. had not been active for several years. It remained for some enterprising members to rid it of debts previously incurred. It was with this in mind that a group of alumni called a meeting and elected officers to carry out their plans• On May 29, 1938 every graduate of C. T. H. S. was invited to a picnic at Kemnetz Grove, and the alumni association began its work of keeping up school spirit after graduation. In August the association gave a program on Main Street. A pageant depicting the history of Chatsworth, written, by Willis Pearson, was given very successfully, thus paying the debt. Alibi Bill”, a three-act comedy, was presented by a cast of twelve in the gym on October 14, 1938. It was directed by Mary Fran Clooney. This was to finance the Alumni Banquet which was held November 26, 1938. The members of the class of 39 were the invited guests. Alumni from far and near attended. An entertaining program. In which a number of notable alumni took part, followed a sumptuous dinner, and a ball added the finishing touch to an enjoyable evening.

(45) CLASS PROPHECY PROPHECY FOR THE CLASS OF � 39 The doctor rose, and the lightning cracked its approval while the thunder seemed to be applause from a vast but unseen audience. The tall man held in his hand a small vial raised aloft, a gift to the gods. He exclaimed triumphantly, but with a strange calmnoss that at last he had ended his search, at last he could see into the future—could see 10 years ahead. He lowered the vial to his lips, drank the fluid hurriedly, and lay down on a lounge. The thunder died and from the man a dim form rose slowly, taking shape as it came forward, materialized, and vanishedJ A crowded street, a fair, a million bright colors framed DR. MCGUIRE as he waded through the people, peering intently into each face. At last he found one he knew, and speaking to the person received the reply: JEROME BOUHL, that’s meJ High trapeze tumbler who tricks his trusty trapeze to turn and twist till the topsy turvy earth tries to train its twin stars on my trapeze and turns its two thousand spectators into tipsy tombstones.” Jerome further added that it was necessary to use a parachute in case of a fall. With an unnecessary hitch at his skin tight tights, he walked on. The Dr. turned to a woman who introduced herself as MARGUERITE DERR, breeder of horses for milk wagons, only horses were no longer used. She glanced at her watch and rushed away after stating that it was time for Bobbie’s supper, and that Bobbie was not her baby. He was a new colt. Then the Dr. admired a bird whose owner turned out to be DOROTHY JEAN HERR. Dorothy Jean gaily informed the doctor that she ran a school in which she taught canaries how' to sing opera, and as she moved off up came two figures, both resembling one another. One figure announced that he was JACK LAV.XESS, a gold prospector. Unable to distinguish the two, the Dr. unwittingly offended Jack by speaking to his mule. Petunia. Jack departed huffily. A tap on the shoulder heralded the coming of another member of the class of ’39. GLENN R0SENB00M told the Dr. that five guinea pigs, objects of the doctor’s experiments, were ready to leave his hospital for broken down guinea pigs. Then IVAN JOHNSON came up with a bowl of goldfish. In the conversation, he told the Dr. that he was an optometrist for cross-eyed goldfish. He, too, departed, and MARGE RIBORDY took his place. She told the doctor that she had a boarding (she hurriedly changed it to) Guest home. Her sign read ”Rooms: $1. per week—soap wash pan included.” Oh, it was very modem and exclusive. The next person met by the Dr. was BEULAH WILSON JONES, a noted divorcee. This time her grounds were that her husband ate crackers in bed. (Any woman will quickly agree that this was cause enough.) After this Jerome Bouhl reappeared with another member of the troup—FRANK KAISER, tap dancer. His theme song was, he glibly told DR. MCGUIRE, Flat Foot Floogie. They left In order that Frank might go on with his act. (46) CLASS PROPHECY The Doctor’s next encounter was with ROSE JOHNSON, an undertaker for bugs and snakes Adding a sour note to the gay song scene the funeral procession moved on, and EDfrARD DIERKIKG asked the Dr. if he was willing to take a chance. He explained that while deep sea diving he found a colony of mermaids at Atalantis, and he had been dating a few. His wife found it out and now he was in the dog house. Would the Dr. keep the date for him? The Dr. would, and so he left. A very affected fellow, LAVERNE DEHM, came in boasting of his appointment as ambassador to the wild men of Borneo, and afterwards rushed off to catch a plane. Almost knocked down by a large ball, the Dr. found himself face to face with Professor VERNON WARD, whose pupils always had him behind the 8 ball. The Professor said that no matter how fast he whirled the ball he never could see both sides at the same time. And no matter where he stood he was always behind it. The Dr. solved the problem for him and Vernon passed on. Upon getting a lunch, DR. MCGUIRE discovered a waitress to be JANICE DANIELS, who, until the fair started had been working in the Grill at Chatsworth. A fellow diner was JANETTE BECK, a Beauty operator who gave Curly-Cew Permanents, guaranteed for a lifetime, but the life was seldom long lasting after the permanent. ESSIE JANET WOODRUFF, sent by Janice, demonstrated an automatic applesauce spreader. During the demonstration JAMES KEISTER and ROBERT MILSTEAD appeared, arguing heatedly. The Dr. called for a duel to end the feud, but their trusty pistols turned out to be only water guns. After a yawning sequence with DOROTHY MAE GRIEDER, he learned that she had written a book called Y� hy Yawns Are Catching. Next the Dr. met PAUL STERRENBERG, garbage commissioner of Charlotte. He complained that his work was getting harder, for Charlotte had annexed 4 new families in the past 15 years. The Dr. added his complaint that by the time he got to a patient’s home the sick one had either died or gotten well. It was very disgusting. Paul introduced HELEN FRAHER, who was giving advice to the lovelorn by television, and who in turn introduced LOUISE GUTZYvILER. Louise was employed selling parachutes. She guaranteed her ’chutes to open and gave your money back if they didn’t. JEROME BOUHL brought another of the troup over; this time HAROLD FINEFIELD took the spot light. He was concert violinist for the flea circus. Harold had just left when ART STERRENBERG and ADA ROSENDAHL approached. They demonstrated their skill by doing an adagio dance and disappeared into the crowd. The last of the old gang turned out to be JEROME REBHOLZ• He wa3 a wrestler who took on anybody------------if they were under ten years of age. The rain sprinkled the crowd and In the mad rush for shelter the Dr. was lost from view. In a darkened room, lying on the lounge we again find the Dr. He lifted himself slowly, rubbed his eyes, and crossed to the window. Throwing it open he breathed the rain laden air. A crash of lightning made him a silhouette in the window and the skies grumbled loudly . (47) (43)
