The work is tone by the staff chosen by the faculty. Again this year the staff found it necessary to mimeograph the annual themselves. •‘■'he pictures for this year's edition, as last year, are the actual photographs. All these pictures were taken by the school photographer, Mr. Moore. It might be interesting to the readers to know the actual history in the mal ing of an annual. Each editor is assigned a certain field from which he gathers material and writes his article. These articles are checked by the sponsor and editor-in-chief, then they go to the English teacher for correction. After that they are typed and checked by the typing teacher. Then the stencil is made and taken to the office secretary, Jerloen Romans, for mimeographing. She mimeographs enough copies for each annual. The pictures and the written articles are assembled in their proper order and taken to the Flaindealer office. There the covers are printed and the pages are stapled and bound ready for delivering to the signers. FACULTY HISTORY Miss Mackey Rockford College U. of I. U. of Wisconsin U. of S. Dak. B. A.

Suddenly a hum of motors was heard and soon buildings shook, glass shattered, and we knew the inevitable had happened--Chatsworth was being bombed by the sons of the Rising Sun. The seniors became panic stricken, but the juniors, who were very calm, took then to the three P.U. Bombers (Chatsworth's own make) built by the aeronautics class under the supervision of Ur. Kibler, and planned to take then to various stations where they would be safe. One plane went east and deposited ten of the seniors, another plane went south and left another ten, and the other plane went west ana left eleven. The juniors then went pursuing the Jap planes, but were unsuccessful in the pursuit and were captured, then interned in a concentration camp. For ten years the war raged; the seniors made their own way in life and the juniors were still in camp waiting for the war to end. When it finally ended and the juniors returned home, they wonderel if they could find the seniors and see how they were getting along. We first went to the east and found in a lumber camp in Maine Harold (Paul Bun'an) Horniokel cutting pine trees to be made into Dine coffins. In Massachusetts, we found Jim Rebholz and Bob Rebholz, co-partners in Rebholz and Rebholz Ladies Apparel Mfg. Co. Their motto, we found out, is, We have everything you want, ladies . Phyllis Lee popped up in liew Hampshire as an exhibit in a side 3how of a circus as The Only Living Skeleton . In New York City, the Metropolitan Opera had been running for the thirty-ninth week with Bill Haberkorn and Lois Wilson in the opera, Romec and Julijt , in the leading roles. Our first woman president, Gail Sheeley, who was elected by the Chatsworth Student? Anti-Spitball Campaign, seemed to be having one grand time because Congress insisted upon throwing spit-balls while it was in session and spoiling her campaign against them. Jack (Patrick uonry) Kane turned up in Washington D. C. as the most famous orator of all times. His favorite subject was, live Ile Girls or live He Death. In the Barnstable Fishing District of i.Iassachuset s, Owen 3eck had become a great fishing heiress. She fishes her life away as the manager of the 3eck Fishing Company. In Coreopolis, Pennsylvania, Rita (Hayworth) KueffYier and Jack i Scatterbrain) Heiken had married and formed the Hjiken Buy More Coal Company. Kenneth Ratliff and his oride, 3ernice (Vernica Lake) Ford, were touring the country on their honeymoon on Kenneth's motorcycle, having pooled their A cards in order to buy enough gas for the trip. Bill Hubly hae equipped himself with a bicycle and was delivering to his many customers the daily edition of the Monahan and Hubly paper. Editor Monica Monahan sat at the desk in the office of her Chicago Newspaper and ordered her copartner Bill (Do everything) Hubly to carry out her orders. Next we lfccided to take time enough off from our hunt to attend a show. V� e found just the one in Peoria, a slapstick comedy starring Johnny and Andy who we found out were John Henry Haberkorn and Bill Rosendahl. They were appearing in the show Horae, Hone on the Range or Where the Cophers Meet to Eat . In southern Indiana down in the sand dunes, we found Clair (Machine-Minded) Schade trying to produce a crop of corn, using his now Diesel tractor. But the corn just didn't seem to grow. (You see he was driving on the corn row with one wheel of the tractor.) Then one night in Dos Moines, Iowa, we saw La Vonne Schado rubbing liniment on her sore arches. She had joined the Y .A.A.C.'s and her feet had received severe exorcise since she had been there. She was almost wacky but now that's getting personal. Since the war had ended, the Olympic Games had once again started and we noticed that Earl (Kangaroo) Smith was the all-star broad jumper. He had reached the great distance of twenty-seven feet which out-jumped any kangaroo-that'3 how he got his name. Jeanne Knittles had become famous from a book which she had written and recently published. It was entitled, Y hnt I_t Means to bc_ an Army Wife.' or Waiting.1 Waiting I Waiting.' for What? “Down Tn the Everglades in Florida, John Derr was a very prosperous business man. He hunted fish worms in the swamps and 3old them two for a nickel and was head of the Toddy Fishery Fishworm Foundation of Fisherman Wharf, Florida. In Missouri, Nealy Hurt and Vivian Grosenbach had established a Broken Heart Club and wore advertising for a man. As yet they hadn't received any answers but we wish them all kinds of good luck in their search. Next we found cur famous divorcee and movie actress, Florence Endres. She had been narried four times and was about ready to divorce her last husband. Her latest cause was on the grounds that her husband smoked his pipe in bod and Florence was usually sleeping in smoke and ashes. She said she might as well sleep in an ash can and I might add that no ono can blame her. Marilyn Hckinley, the great violinist, who, by the way, was still taking lessons from Mrs. Bert, was touring the country receiving donations from her peasant listeners. Eileen Gcrdcs, who has gone through all of the slenderizing processes that she knew, had become a famous Air Line Iiostcoa on the Gerdcs Passenger Plane, on non-stop flights from Charlotte to Rangoon. Armetta (Me No Talkim) Saathoff, our royalty entertainer had married into nobility and was very busy entertaining Mrs. President. Mary (Giggle_Box) Bargman had compiled tho Bargnan Jokey Joke Book of Jokes and was now very famous because one of her corny jokes was published c ch week in the Chicago Sun. The reason for only one a week is that they were just so funny that readers laughed all week about one joke. Kenneth (Seaman) Boulil had become a pharmacist's mate on the S and S Bouhl Ship. Although he was deathly sick his first night out, he was now accustomed to it. The skip slogan was 3.O.O.S.F.S. or simply Stay off our ship for safety. Now last but not least, we found husky Jane (Guffy) Kohler in the gold mining district of California spending her life a3 a gold prospector. Me hope she finds her gold mine before long, but not in the sky. And so that ends the senior class prophecy. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM On May 19, 1942, the juniors had as their guests, the seniors at a banquet and prom. The menu for the banquet was as follows: Beef of the Argentine, Mexican Gourd, Spanish Corn, Cuban Salad, Peruvian Rolls, Java, Brazil Nuts, and Snow on the Andes. The program for the evening was announced by the- toastmaster, Jack Ileiken; All for one and one for all , Tom CaVanaugh; Muchachos, thank you , Jerleen Romans; Our Rancho Walls , Mr. Bennett; In Unity there is strength . Jack Kane; Ever Loyal , Junior Lafferty; Up the Trail , Jeanne Knittles; Down the Trail , Lois Sterrenberg; Senoritas and Senors, Adios , Mr. Kibler. The gym was decorated in bright South American Golors. The main feature was a giant Mexican hat with streamers. It was hung over the punch table. Everyone was glad for the cool punch as the evening grew rather warm while they wore dancing. They danced to music on reoords by the big name bands. Every other dance was special as—Lady on your right, Paul Jones, Ladies' Tag, Conga, and Gentlemen's Tag. The waitresses were these sophomore girls dressed in gay colored clothes: Mary Ann Zorn, Evelyn Pearson, Marilyn Wilson, Mary Donna Schadc, Dorothy Spence, June Clester, Eunice Shambrook, Ethel Hornstein, and Helen Brown.

It was directed by Miss McCarthy. The scene of the play is in the parlor of a hotel in a Hew Jersey summer resort and concerns the mix-ups that result because several guests have the same initials, R. R Roy Roberts and his pal, Ronald Randolph, are spending the summer here with their sweethearts, Zelda Sanderson and Martha Mason. In the Strictly Confidential Column appears this question: Who is the young man whose initials are R. R. who was seen strolling along the beach with an attractive young lady whose initials are the same? This starts the excitement for the two girls accuse both Roy and Ronald of being that young man. The woman in question is Rosa Rosabelle, an attractive and glamorous actress with whom Roy had had a flirtation when he was in college. To make matters worse, Roy's uncle (whose initial are also R. R. ) arrives from Butte, Montana. Roy's attempts to keep the knowledge of Rosa from both his uncle and fiancee provide the laughter and excitement. Characters are: Ronald Randolph............Jack Lane Roy Roberts................Jack Heiken Robert Roberts.............Bill Rosendahl Martha Mason...............Rita Kueffner Zelda Sanderson............Jane Kohler Rosa Rosabelle.............La Vonne Schade Roxanne Raymond............Gail Sheeley Josephine Salisbury........Marilyn McKinley Drusilla Gibbs.............Mary Bargman Claribel Baker.............Annetta Saathoff Hella Adams................Bernice Ford Otto.......................Robert Rebholz WAR ACTIVITIES This year Chatsworth High has been going out for Victory. We were asked to send a scrap book in to the state showing the things the students had done for the war effort, be put pictures of most of the activities in the book. Last fall we nade a thernometer with the number of students scaled on one side and an amount of money on the other to keep track of stamp and bond sales. At the top we put an eagle. On one side at the bottom we put Hiro-hito and the other Hitler. As both lines advanced we moved the two until they were in the claw3 of the eagle. Each class set a goal of some thing it would like to buy. The seniors wanted a jeep; the juniors, a rubber float; the sophomores, three sub-machine guns; the freshmen, a parachute and a rifle; the faculty, a jeep and a motorcycle. We have put on several drives. In the fall there was a scrap iron and rubber drive. We collected books for the Victory Book campaign. The latest one was a silk or rayon stocking drive. The material is reclaimed and used for war purposes. Aeronautics, a new subject taught by Hr. Kibler was introduced for juniors and seniors. Several subjects like this were started in schools all over the country to prepare the boys for some of the many jobs in the armed forces. The boys have been going through more vigorous physical training--learning commando tactics. The girls physical training has been increased. Two different classes were held twice a week 30 the girls got more exercise and oftener. Last fall about thirty-five students enrolled in a beginning first aid class under r. Iltxson. It was a ten week course. All those who took it passed the final test and received certificates. Beginning in February the junior and senior girls folded surgical dressings one night a week in the Red Cross rooms. Over one thousand dressings were made in the first two months. As a reward for 25 hours work, each girl was given a Red Cross to fasten on her headdress Gwen Beck received her cross for forty hours the same as the women. The annual Red Cross drives were held at school. We donated to the Junior Red Cross and to the Senior Red Cross. The two upper classes donated an amount from class funds and so did several other groups. The total was $86.03. At Chirstmas time the hoys in the manual arts classes made ash trays for wounded veterans. Also at Christmas the faculty sent letters to all former students in the armed forces whose addresses they knew. The junior class developed a novel idea of its own. Since they couldn't always get a supply of candy to last during the week they sold seeds for Victory gardens. The sophomore biology class also planted gardens. In February the teachers got a vacation from school to work registering for rationing. They worked Monday and Tuesday February 22, and 23, while the students were having a good time. Last year the G. A. A. bought a new flag for the gymnasium and also a servicemen's flag. This year one serviceman's flag was filled and another started. One flag was used for the alumni. The stars on the other flag represented those who attended CTHS but were not graduated. Nearly all the students have some close relative in the service of his country so considering what they are doing for us, we think these things are very minute. V- FOR VICTORY �
