DEDICATION In behalf of the entire student body, we the Senior class of 42 dedicate this year book to our principal, coach, and teacher--Mr. Kibler, as cr. expression of our appreciation for his patience, generosity, kindly spirit and deep interest in the students of C. T. H. S. His understanding has been a great help to all those who have sought his guidance, and so in recognition of his friendly supervision, we respectfully present our edition of the Orange and Bluu Review to Mr. Kibler, BOARD OP EDUCATION The Board of Education is composed of seven members. The men serving on the Board until April 1942 were: S. H. McKean—President, W. G. Sterrenberg, J. C. Lawless, A. B. Kohler, T. C. Ford, A. G. Walters, and R. W. Roscnboom. Since last fall when Dr. McKean was called to the army, the various members of the Board have been acting as President Pro-tem. They are chosen at the meetings and serve for just that night. It is the duty of these men to interview applicants, hire teachers, and decide on the numerous issues of importance concerning Chatsworth Township High School. The task of filling four vacancies in the faculty for this school term fell to the Board. Miss McCarthy was hired as commerical teacher to take Miss Cloonoy's place, Mr. Sherman replaced Mr, Petty as agriculture and manual arts teacher, and Mr, Juvinall replaced Miss Grill as music instructor. However, duo to the fact that Mr, Collins resigned at a dato too late to obtain another coach, the Board decidod to hire one less teacher this year. For this reason, Mr. Juvinall agreed to teach math and law in addition to music and Mr, Kiblor took on the duties of teaching physics, boys' physical education, and also that of coaching in addition to his previous duties. The Board has been considerate and cooperative in its dealings with C. T. H. S., and consequently has won the respect and gratitude of the student body and faculty as well, Tho term of W, ®, Sterrenberg and J, E. Lawless expires in 1942, that of T. C. Ford and A. B, Kohler in 1943, and that of A. G, Walters and R. W, Rosenboom in 1944. SENIORS Left to Right--Top Row: Joe Bouhl, Orland Brock, John Cameron Brown, Glen Bushong, Elden Cole 2nd.

It was directed by ITiss Mackey. Happy-go-lucky Gordon (Jack Heiken), the 3on of the house, thinks a little strategy desirable; a few impersonations of a harmless sort might turn the trlclc. Tom Jackson (Bill Heberkorn) has already been presented as an ex-convict to teach Aunt Stella Blake (Annette Saathoff) a lesson. And there is an Italian boron--or is he a taxi driver--(Jack Kane) who is calling on Helen (Jane Kohler). The Karsh family (Mr. Mersh--IM11 Hublv; Mrs. Marsh--Monica Monahan) business i3 about to go on the rocks, and they believe that a merger with a rival company (Mr. Lang--Tom Cavsnagh; Mrs. Lang--Gwen Beck) is the only thing that will save it. But Gordon shows them another way, such as Uncle Andy (Bill Rosendahl) breaking people’s watches in testing his inventions, and the maid (Bernice Ford) chasing peonle with a butcher knife. But in the end Gordon proves to have plenty of sense along with his jokes, and a. good job and a girl, Cheryl, (Rita Kueffner) arc his rewards. Between the first and second acts of the play, 10 girls sang. They wore: Giil Shoe ley, Mary Bergman, Marilyn McKinnlcy, Vivian Grosenback, Jeanne Knittles, Ncalie Hurt, La Vonne Schadc, Florence Lndros, Eileen C-erdc3, and Lois Wilson. They sa.ng-- Tho Hunter Strode Upon His Uty . (German Folk Song.) Between the second and third acts, Mr. Juvin; 11 sang David and Goliath —Kr.lottc . Standing: Left to right--Iii33 Mackey, B.

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET AND PROM On May 20, 1941, the Seniors and faculty were royally entertained by the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom held in the gymnasium. The gymnasium was a picturesque setting of old Hawaii. The tables, colorfully decorated for the Banquet were placed in a U-formation. Balloons strung from the ceiling gave the impression of a festive occasion while the palm trees and straw huts at various points in the gym added to the Hawaiian atmosphere. The menu consisted of rare delicacies: Ambrosia Hawaiian, Sandwich Island, Leis, Hawaiian Moons; Sea Weeds, Pearls, Huts, Living Orators, and Native Product. Bright colored Leis were at each plate. During the banquet, toastmaster, John Cooney introduced Norene Falck, the president of the Junior class, who gave the welcome address to the guests and Mary Agnes Bouhl, Senior president, who gave the response. Other toasts were made by S. H. McKean, president of the Board of Education, Lois Sterrenberg, Clarence Culkin, and Mr. Kibler, The class Prophecy was read by Dorothy Sneyd and the class will, by Mildred Finefield. The banquet was prepared by the ladies of the Catholic Church and served by Sophomore girls gaily dressed in bright colored frocks. A Hawaiian guitar solo was furnished by Marion Lindquist; two Hawaiian songs, Amapola and Aloha, by Betty Jo Sims, LaVerne Runyon, and Rosemary Bess. Hawaiian records furnished music during the remainder of the Banquet, After the Banquet, the guests danced until twelve o'clock to the music of Johnny Allen and his Orchestra. FLASH--BIG TOP EXCITEMENT .’ Red Paul--Reporter At the opening of the circus, Butch’s Big Bunks , the feature editor of the Flash, Orland Brock, and his dashing and fashionable wife, Norene Falck Brock, were the guests of W. A. Lafferty Jr., the business Manager of Butch’s Big Bunks . They were just beginning to enjoy their day at the circus, when who should appear but J. C. Brown, the notorious insurance salesman, who was trying to sell Elden Cole, the tight-rope-walker, an insurance policy. After recovering from the exertion of talking themselves out of insurance, they stenned out of the manager’s office and craned their nocks to watch the dizzy antics of the stunt flyer, Joe Bouhl. Their attention was drawn away by the sudden and noisy appearance of the barkinest barker that ever barked, John Big-mouth Cooney. The only difference they noticed in him was that from constant talking his voice had become just as fuzzy as his cheeks. After talking them into seeing the side-show, they drew closer and heard the pound of native tom-toms, while they feasted their eyes on'the hula dancer, Virginia Aloha Hubly. They watched her until the faint tinkle of a magic piano drew them over to see who it was. They found it was played by the feet of Madame Lorraine Schade. After listening to Rachmoninoff's Prelude in C Minor, their curiosity took them over to Scnora Veers Fricnt. She sees all, knows all, tells all--for fifty-ccnts. Walking a bit farther, they came to a glass cage, in which was the groat mathmetician, pondering over the puzzling problem of zero divided by one, Professor Francis Master-Mind Wallrich. Almost deafened by the buzzes of Bushong’s buzzing boos and fleas, collected over n period of years through extensive travels in Pnngo Pango and Piper City, they watched them perform. After being entertained by the flea circus, their attention we3 attracted by the cheers of the onlookers os they watched Beatrice Gingerich mount the towering rope ladder to do her miraculous high-divc into a tank of water. After watching her perform her act with great success, they wont till they saw the name, Lois Stcrrenberg, advertising her famous saw-act with a brilliant oration much more impressive than the main act. After wrtching’ the saw-act they realized they had seen it before, and 3urely hoped never to see it again. Who should they come upon next but the Smiths Incorporated, the world's oldest combination Helen, the fat lady, assists her brother, Joe, the strong man, with his difficult feats. Then they discovered it was tine for the nain attraction in Big tent. When everyone was seated, the lights were dimmed and Leo Gerdes, the goofy clown, acted as master of ceremonies. First he introduced the trapeze artist, Arlene Concello Hornickel. She glided through the air, while a little nan with a shovel ran along below, reedy to pick up the pieqes. After they were thrillingly entertained by Miss Hornickel, they were thoroughly frightened by the roar of the lions. In they came followed by their pale and trembling tamer, Jerry Fearless Romans. She put them through their paces and preceded thein out. After this they heard a pleasant sound--the familiar calls of peanuts, popcorn, cracker-jacks, and ballo-o-o-n3. The spectators found it was Dorothy Sneyd fulfilling her life's ambition. They bought some of her good3 and she soon reluctantly left. Then a fiery horse with the speed of light--a cloud of dust and a hearty Hoigh-0-Whirlaway --Gencvieve Trunk, the bareback rider. She, apd her favorite accomplice Whirlaway, went through their breathless performance, and made their exit leaping through a hoop of fire. And last, but not least of what they saw was the big attraction of the dey, Jim Whiz Maplethorpe and his motorcyle stunting. Having seen anything and every thing and being pretty well spent , Orland and Norene gave a fond look of farewell to Butch's Big Bunks Circus and heeded for home.
