The sun was sinking lazily in the western sky and as I gazed across the mur- muring lagoon. to the tropic trees and purple mountains, beyond which the sun was slipping slowly-memories came back to rne. lt was in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine that a tribe of wandering youths adventurously set out upon the great desert, not knowing where to go. A young sheik, Cecil Osborn, was chosen as the leader. The caravan moved rapidly at first. Gay shouts and laughter ruled, but this could not last. These carefree youths became weary of the sea of toil and scanned the horizon in search of some dark object which later might give rest. Another sheik named Merle Myers took Cecil's place and the journey continued. One sultry day when the provisions were near exhaustion, a dark object was sighted. As the company drew rearer, the object took shape in the form of trees, green grass, fruit and water. Shouts of delight and thankfulness were heard above the moving caravan. Everywhere people reclined in cool shadows. Shy lovers met beside the well and whispered gentle words. Early one morning the caravan left the beautiful oasis and started again upon the great desert. for the youths had heard that another hostile tribe was coming. Three fair maidens were chosen as leaders. Mabel Frederick led for a while, but soon deserted her followers to join another tribe. Eloise Streid took her position and later turned it over to Catherine Schopp. Vxlearily and toil- somely the expedition moved on. Another oasis was reached and again everyone was happy. A I nodded. The birds had ceased to sing. The water had turned to a deeper hue and its surface lay motionless. The mountains were black against the evening sky. Twilight was falling. Again I nodded. The caravan was leaving the restful oasis. Cecil Osborn again led his com- panions. The company moved quickly and rapidly. Time was short and no rest was in sight. Hilton Dunham received the position of Caliph, having supreme power and dignity in all matters. A few of the youths lagged behind. One day all eyes turned toward the east. The sky became dark and then turned from dull red into fiery crimson. A sandstorm! If only shelter were near. There was no time to lose. Amid the confusion and turmoil, cries of bewilderment were heard. The sand was blowing hard, blinding the frightened youths. Sud- denly great dark objects loomed before the oncoming caravan. Another oasis! This meant shelter from the storm, rest and pleasure. Many days were spent there and friends were made. Once more the caravan set forth. The carefree youths who had first started upon the journey now felt that some responsibility l20l l lull -ll- - l li an l J-'J'f.r J 4 '1-J J rested upon them. Catherine Schopp led the progressing caravan and later Jerome Bauman took her place. Ear-ly one morning the white walls of a city were seen in the distance. The caravan had crossed the desert, encountering every hardship, enjoying all pleasure, and now stood outside the gates of Oppor- tunity, awaiting entrance. Someone was calling. I opened my eyes. Night had fallen, and the sky was sprinkled with twinkling stars. Again someone called. I arose and left my memories. ELOISE Srmsm. SCHOOL LOYALTY Mr. Meeker, our band director, has composed a march to be used as the school song. The English IV class wrote words for this music, and Wayne Augspurger's verse was chosen by the student body as the best. The words are given below. Come let us stand And cheer our boys, For they are lighting hard to wing They play because they love to ' Fight for Scarlet and for Gray, G0 smashing through, Old faithful lads, For we are fighting hard with you.

THE DANCE OF THE NYMPHS It is my temper, and I like it the better, to alfect all harmonyg and sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument. For there is music wherever there is harmony. order or proportion, and thus we may maintain the music of the spheresg for those well ordered motions and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony. Wlhosoever is harmonically composed delights in harmonyfn The first year of exploiting was new to the forty-nine nymphs who made up the class called Freshie . VVere we frightened? No, because we had a very capable leader, Dale Streid. The chaperons we chose to help us keep in harmony with the upper classmen were Mrs. Henline and Mr. Metzger. Only three boys ventured upon the Scarlet and Gray held-Theodore Dorman, Vifilliam Hager, and Dale Streid. Hallowe'en found us scampering in the gymnasium. The sec- ond semester was gone! Vacation was gone, and the second year of exploiting, with thirty-nine nymphs arrived. Now we were called Sophs by the upper classmen. This year Mildred Kauffman led us in song. As chaperons we chose Mrs. Darling and Mr. Twardock. The three boys who fought on the field of Scarlet and Gray this year were Theodore Dorman, William Hagar, and Eldo Brady. Dale Streid also received a manager's letter. XV e enjoyed a Hallowe'en party at the gymnasium. Soon the vibration of our notes ceased.

An ivory key was laid for each student and each key made a vow to work in harmony with the others during the course of the Junior year. The echo of several keys had a more lasting sound than others. But each little key had its special work in order to make the music melodious and magnificent. One essence of music is harmony and one essence of school work is harmony. Middle C was played with Con Spirito Qspiritj by every nymph after a three months vacation. NVe did not forget our harmony which was needed in making our lunior year a grand and glorious time. The key of D was struck with such harmonic time that we engaged Miss Mitchell and Mr. Ferree as chap- erons to guide us through our journey. Tillie Gittinger led us in singing our songs for the year. To have excellent harmony for the year we chose Mildred Crum as Tillie's assistant. Our notes were to be played Giojoso fjoyouslyj and Olga Parenti recorded our joyful events in the Etude Book which was filled with the fun and frolic every nymph enjoyed. If any of the other nymphs met with serious trouble we knew that they would be lined, so Gertrude Schultheis agreed to handle and take care of all financial business. Then came Community Fair Day! Every- one was glad. XfVhy? Because it was play day for the nymphs! This meant the abandoning of the lessons and worries of the day. The note E was struck with Vivace fgaietyj. Again the small nymphs portrayed their sense of har- mony. The iioat was decorated in two harmonious colors-blue and white. It took third prize. In the afternoon several of our nymphs fought with vigor and zeal on our football field. On October 0 another note was played with Fortissimo fexpressionj. Wfhy? Because we were having a wiener roast at Tourist Park. Buns! Pickles! Vlfieners! and a scare made up our wonderful strain. The harmony of such Havors made our appetites sharp. The small nymphs skipped to and fro to the tune of Happy Days Are Here Again . The sound vibrated through the air for several hours. On December 4, when we received our rings we were singing Tie a Little String Around Your Finger . Our rings were of yellow gold with fancy scroll work and a torch of knowledge. Now we were progressing down our diatonic scale and the music was me- lodious and imperial. The tone of our notes was lofty and grand. Suddenly A was struck with pride and elegance when our little nymphs received foot- ball letters for their excellent work on the Scarlet and Gray fieldg Donald john- son, Eldo Brady and Emery Ebbert receiving the letters. A grace note was sounded when six agricultural nymphs marched down the aisle of Knowledge with awards-Kenneth Kinsinger, Alvin Oyer, Arthur Streid, and Merle Augspurger. Bang! Rang! A discord. Wfhat? Semester examinations. Oh, yes! However, semester exams were forgotten when Mr. Elson, our director, announced that I-leadstrong joan was coming to visit school and she was going to be our class play. All thirty keys were struck with forzando, but since this could not last forever, we were forced against our wills to retard. The last note of our junior year has not died out. lVhen it will have faded into the steel blue atmosphere of the evening, the thirty nymphs will be singing Vacation Days Are Here Again . Then three months of summer pranks and laughter. only to skip to the Piano of Knowledge to sound the last notes of a composition of harmony which shall live in the hearts of the nymphs, and whose echoes shall resound forever in the majestic temple which shelters our Piano of Knowledge.

THE MOSS FLOWER OF '34 It was a bright, sunshiny day, in September, when a garden of moss with Fifty-four green buds entered the Chenoa Community High School. Along came a bumble bee buzzing to us on September 10, that three small buds were to show themselves in our moss garden for the first season. VVe chose the Streid delegates, and elected Robert Streid as president, Ferne Streid as vice-president, and Francis Streid as secretary-treasurer. In a few days these small buds opened and showed their color of delicate pink, that along with the green moss would make our class colors for our four years in this wide world. It was thought necessary that two bright yellow Howers should be chosen as class sponsors, and we chose Miss Holman and Mr. Elson to guide us. A butterfly flew into our midst on September 25 and brought us a message that we had won fourth prize with our float which we entered in the parade on Community Fair Day. Nothing surpassed the joy of the moss Howers when a jolly grey squirrel came to tell us that we could have a Hallowe'en party at the gymnasium. Several l26l -i.1 -17 l1. Ql nl i JJ J'1'.r J 'a i1-J' 'se of the moss Howers showed their faces at the party, and everyone enjoyed the gay festival. When the football season was over, four scarlet and grey Howers thought that it was their place to display their winning faces in our moss garden. They were Gilbert Pils, Erwin Stoller, Charles Myer, and Raymond Lenington. VVe were favored with another visit of the bumble bee on February 10. This time three pale blue flowers were seen in the moss garden. They were Ray- mond Lenington, Vae Hogan, and Idelle Augspurger, who upheld our ideals throughout that season. Again the garden of moss flowers enjoyed a party at the gymnasium. It was in the form of a Maytime party, and was very frivolous, and beautiful. Many flowers nodded tired heads and weary petals after this elaborate event. On May 29 our garden of moss flowers disappeared, but on August 31, forty- six brilliant Howers peeped their faces into the garden of green moss. One warm day in September a robin came chirping to us and sang that it was his wish that three cerise flowers would appear in our garden of moss for a few months. These flowers were Erma Sandmeyer, Kenneth Tapke, and Vae Hogan. Two gay Flowers, Miss Barth and Mr. Twardock were chosen to direct us. Again a butterfly rested upon our Hoat at the Community Fair Day parade, and told us that we had won fifth prize. This season, three scarlet and grey flowers came to our door and asked to be welcomed to our moss garden. They were Raymond Lenington, Charles Myer, and Denzil May. The moss flowers enjoyed a Weiner roast at the Tourist Park on October ll. The flowers of the moss garden were fading in color on January 18 and 19 when a big wooly worm came crawling around with semester examinations. A snowbird perched itself on our window sill one cold day in February and delivered a message to the moss Howers, that four golden Howers should enter our moss garden for the remaining months. The golden Howcrs were Kenneth Tapke, Raymond Lenington, Robert Streid, and Charles Myer. Our moss garden then went to rest for the second time in this wide world, but the moss flowers of '34 hope to bloom brighter than ever the next two years.

It starts with a staccato touch, because these nervous little notes just could not fall into a smooth rhythm at the beginning of their musical composi- tion. A lilting air follows, as the great hilarity and excitement depicting the Community Fair Day Hoats through the air. The little notes took part in the parade and captured fourth place with their tloat, which represented a very attractive white sport yacht trimmed in a startling shade of yellow. This dashing little sport yacht was called Freshmen , and added another meritable note to the composition of these little notes. Arranged into a peppy tune, the notes caused a reminiscence of football and basketball days when several of their bolder notes participated in the athletic activities of our school. Two notes of this composition who were outstanding were Kenneth Myer and Donald Schultz, as they both won the cherished C . l30l l 1--il f -1 7 11n .l - -QT I 1 Jvllifr 4 ' 4-J ' Oooooohhhh! NVhat an eerie sound! A Hallowe'en party was held at the Tourist Park. Mr. Elson and Miss Shuck, the directors of this great master- piece, had charge of the party. Many pranks were played on the little notes. Spooks and black cats also crossed their paths, Remember? A few rests have appeared between the merry making and excitement. Several notes have fallen along the way of this composition, never to be heard among its merry tunes again. V Among the outstanding notes are the class officers. During the first semester they were: President-Rudolf Foltsg Vice-President, Nelta Sandhamg Secretary and Treasurer, VVarren Osborn. Another important note in our groups is Thelma Elson. This little note received the highest grade among the high school students in a grammar test which they all took. This is quite an honor for a freshman to receive. She also placed third in the county spelling examination. The peppy march time gradually diminshes into the harmonic melody of Christmas carols, followed by a measure of complicated chords, reminding us of those terrible semester examinations. An intoxicating melody, interwoven with scenes of sports, parties, honors, and fun, follows and then the music becomes softer, smoother, and more lovely to the very Finis . Thus an enchanting melody is ended, appropriately entitled Freshmen .

Twenty-four were eligible this year, and all of those seeking membership were admitted to the organization. Regular meetings were held on the third Tuesday of each month. The constitution was accepted this year without any changes. The club has worked hard to promote literary interest among the students. Evidence of the literary ability of its members was manifested in the annual assembly program in which originality was shown. One of the members, Dale Streid, entered the sub-district contest in extem- poraneous speaking, placing second, thus being eligible for entrance in the district meet. The officers of the society were as follows: President ....................................................... ...... C ecil Osborn Vice-President .....,. ...............

This organization, under the able and untiring leadership of Mr. E. L. Meeker, gave concerts during the summer months for the community on each Thursday evening. In the fall a trip was made to Peoria where all of the band members enjoyed a concert given by Kryll and his band. The band also played for other public entertainments. which were as follows: DATE PLACE REMARKS April State Contest at Charnpa'gn Nearly won! May Memorial Qervices, Cemetery And did it rain? Aug.

NWINDMILLS OF HOLLAND The High School Chorus, directed by Miss Mitchell, presented their operetta on December 4. Everyone played his part exceptionally well and the songs were also enjoyed very much. There were a few lovers' quarrels and sisterly spats, and we think that Ferne and Frances would be very well suited as sisters. Little Jackie Osborn too the part of the young son of Mynheer Hertogenbosch. He seemed to like his little wooden shoes just as well as his own. The cast and choruses wore Dutch costumes which added to the attractive stage setting. All in all the operetta was a great success and we owe it to our able director, Miss Mitchell.

It is hoped that the boys will make this an annual affair as it proved very interesting, and provided a great many good laughs for the audience. The members of the club were divided into two teams, the Blacks and the VVhitesg both teams being evenly matched. It was rather difficult to determine who won the most events during the evening, as both teams did some line work. Several boxing matches were given, which, of course, were quite exciting, and then the various wrestling holds were demonstrated by two of the athletes, while Coach Ferree explained them to the crowd. Following this demonstration they had some wrestling matches which gave us an opportunity to see how these holds were used. Two very unique stunts of the program were special boxing matches. In one the two boys boxing had sooted boxing gloves. They each received some good black eyes, and a few black and blue marks. The one who was the blackest at the end of the match lost. The other boxing stunt was even more fun. About ten of the boys stood on the mat, with one boxing glove each. They were then blindfolded, and told to box. The audience greatly enjoyed this, and it certainly was fun to see them box the air fwasn't it, Charlie?j. The two teams next had a tug-of-war. The lirst time the XN'hites were vic- torious within a minute or two, but the second time each team held the rope evenly for a number of minutes, and then after quite a tussle the Blacks tugged the rope over to their side of the gymnasium. Another interesting event was the Sack Rush. The boys showed line sports- manship during this, and afteria period of hard lighting, the VVhites pulled the dummy back of their line. The boys held a soccer game next, using the medicine ball instead of a soccer ball. Ask the boys how many of them had sore toes the next day. They'll appreciate it. Under Coach Ferree's instruction, they gave an exhibition of pyramid building. Yeah! Scarlet! Yeah! Gray! Come on Chenoa! Let's play! C-h-e-n-o-a, yeah, rah! yeah, rah! H-i-g-h, yeah, rah! yeah, rah!

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION A local organization of girls interested in athletics was started on November 26, when twenty-nine members took the pledge at a candlelight service. These charter members started immediately to earn points for their First award which is a class numeral. Additional awards, that require more points are a school letter. state letter, and state emblem. In order to earn an award a girl must pass in three academic subjects, score high in sportsmanship, pass the posture test, have a heart examination. keep health rules for sixteen weeks, take part in some team activity and earn 600 points for first awards, and 200 points for second local award. The local awards are a class numeral and a large school letter. In February the local club became affiliated with the state organization. The purpose of this state wide association is to maintain high standards and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship and to stimulate an interest in athletics among high school girls in Illinois. The local club meetings were held the second Tuesday of each month.

Bill Bone, of Peoria, gave an interesting talk entitled A Life-time job of Living on Thursday, October l, at 3 o'clock. On VVednesday, October 20, the Junior class gave a program, reminding the student body of the great life that passed away. The main feature of the program was a Life Sketch of Thomas Alva Edison by Emery Ebbert, a member of the Junior class. An Armistice Day program was given by the Seniors. At ll o'clock we all faced the east while Fredrick Groth, a member of the Senior class, sounded taps. Mr. Pfeffinger, a war veteran, told of his experiences while at the front.

NValter T. Ward. He also led us in a group of pep songs. Rev. Garner R. Martin, a local minister, gave an address entitled Beauty in the Commonplaceu, on February 3, which proved extremely interesting and helpful to us in appreciation and in understanding the common things in life. On March 2, the Agriculture class presented their program. A debate, Resolved, That the moon has an effect on the curing of meat , was given. The title of the question did not have much to do with the debate as it consisted of wisecracks about various students of our school. Donald Johnson then leaped from unknown heights to his death. on the assembly floor. His trainer, Eldo Brady. made it known that he had never before been so successful in killing himself. Reverend Bunge gave a talk about Lent on Tuesday, March S. He made clear a number of questions that had arisen in the minds of several students con- cerning that season. The Girls' Athletic Association gave the program on March 9. A stunt, Tragedy of the Lighthouse , was enacted by a number of the members. iVe were not aware that such dramatic ability existed in our midst. Mr. Kulcinski, of Springfield, gave a lecture and a physical education demon- stration on April 12. This was quite different from anything presented here before, and was greatly enjoyed. Cn May ll, Rev. Kenneth Tyler gave a talk during the twenty minute period, which proved very helpful and interesting. f47l ,jJg41,t ,f -44.4 ,fit T JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The annual junior-Senior Reception was held on Monday evening, May IS, 1931, at the Pike Hotel.

Jia' SENIOR PARTY The Seniors were entertained with a Hallowe'en party at Cecil Osborn's home on the evening of October 25.

Our sponsor, Mr. Metzger, added a lot of pep to the party, and wore a very clever costume. , CTake the ring off, next time.j Various contests and games were played which were very dif- ferent and unusual, so they were enjoyed greatly. Mrs. Osborn served a delight- ful two-course lunch at the close of the evening. We were very sorry that our other sponsor, Mrs. Henline, could not be there to help us enjoy the party. Someone told us that the cops, or should we say police force, had quite a confer- ence with some of the members of the class afterwards. How about it, Seniors? SENIOR PARTY The members of the Senior class enjoyed a Weiner roast at the home of Catherine Schopp, on October 20. The evening was spent roasting wieners and marshmallows. A number of exciting games were played and stories were told by several members of the class. Everyone had a grand time. fAsk Jane if Eloise enjoyed herself.

Dolorous left our school when her parents moved to a town near here. VVe were delighted to have our sponsor, Mrs. Henline, and her husband at our party. Several contests and games were played, and Dale reports that some of them were phoney. 'S that so? Some of those seniors can really pin a tail on a donkey. Everyone played Victim ? Ask any senior and he can tell you without a moment's hesitation. All the members of the class regretted to have Dolorous leave.

FOOTBALL BAN QUET On XYednesday evening, December 16, the annual football banquet was held in the dining hall of the Baptist church. The ladies of the church prepared an over-abundance of delicious food, to which everyone in attendance did justice. Jerome Bauman acted as toast-master for the occasion. The principal speaker of the evening was VValter Clagett, coach of the Gridley High School, whose talk was greatly enjoyed.

Jgilf 4 ia.4' 1 GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The girls' physical education classes met during the fifth and sixth periods 011 Tuesdays and Thursdays, under the capable instruction of Coach Ferree. All of the high school girls were compelled to take part in this class in accordance with the state laws. Four baseball teams were formed, with Isabelle and Pauline Bauman captains of the two sixth hour teams, and Marjorie Schmitt and Gladys Yates cap- tains of the two fifth hour teams. The four teams were all very evenly matched and all won about an equal number of games. Baseball was played until the weather got a little cooler and then the girls played soccer. Most of the girls seemed to prefer the latter game. XVhen the classes had to go indoors because of the weather they took up marching. Mr. Ferree taught them the different phases of marching, including the various facings. They also built pyramids in connection with their marching. Basketball season came and practice commenced. with the girls showing a spirited interest. Because of the large classes they did not play any games during class hours but practiced guarding and basket shooting. Each class from high school formed two teams. Because of their small class, the Seniors had only enough members to form one team, and therefore they had to forfeit one-half of their games. The first games of the season were played by the Senior A team vs. the Junior A team, the Seniors being victorious, the junior B team played the Freshman B team, but the game did not count in the percentage as it was an unscheduled game. Other games followed later in the season. The captains of the different teams were as follows: Freshman: Team A, Nelta Sandhamg Team B, Maxine Umphenourg Sophomore: Team A, Irma Sandmeyerg Team B, V ae Hogang junior: Team A, Gladys Y atesg Senior: Team A, Isabelle Bauman. The next activity undertaken was dancing. Mr. Ferree taught the girls various steps, some being quite intricate. Among these dances, the polka dances were most in favor. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education classes for the boys were held during the lifth, sixth and seventh periods on Monday and VVednesday. Boxing and wrestling instruc- tions were given to individuals. The boys played baseball, but they did not have permanent teams as the girls did, and new teams were chosen before each game. In the late fall soccer was a main part of their activities. but due to weather conditions they retired to the gymnasium, where Mr. Ferree taught them marching. Basketball was played and each class organized teams, with the exception of the Seniors. These teams played each other in games which were held in the gymnasium after school. Boxing and wrestling became an interesting feature of the boys' routine and various contests displaying their ability were held between halves of the home basketball games. The boys received the same dancing instruction as did the girls. Volleyball was another game which the boys played. When the weather became warmer and the track season opened, the class teams held an inter-class track meet. l'51l JJJ'1r a i-J First row fleft to rightj-Delmar Augspurger, Clarence Howell, Maurice Dunahce, Ken- neth Kinsinger, Hilton Dunham, Kenneth Tapke, Arthur Schultze, jck Kauffman.

Ferree, participated in a slightly unsuccessful but not unfruitful season during the fall of 1931. A short summary of the various games played is given below. The Redbird team opened the season with a bang by defeating Gridley. The Chenoa squad won the first game by an 18 to O decision from Gridley in the annual Community Fair Day clash. This gave the season a good start. The tide turned suddenly and El Paso took a game with a 30 to O victory. In the next game Dwight caught the Redbird team in a slump and won by a 27 to 7 score. The classic of the season, when Chenoa played Lexington, formed a real football game. It was the battle of the season with a classical tie, 6 to 6. The first half was carried by Chenoa with six points, and it looked as if it was Chenoa's victory, but Lexington put some real vim into the last half and managed to score. Chenoa threatened to score again but failed. On October 23, Eureka invaded Chenoa's gridiron for a victorious score of 13 to 6. The Redbird machinery did not start clicking until the last half, when they were thirteen points behind. The boys really began to play footballg scored one touchdown, and were pushing for another when the game came to a close. The next three games were lost to Chatsworth, Pontiac, and Forrest, re- spectively. The Redbirds were thoroughly outclassed in these games, and al- though they did not win, they put some iight and pep into the contests that was very admirable. They were good sports and lost with the same spirit with which they won. The season ended, as it commenced, with a victory for Chenoa over the Gridley squad. This time the score was 19 to 0 in our favor. There were two second team games this fall, both with Normal. One was played on the local gridirong the other on our opponents' field. The seconds were beaten 45 to 6 in our game there, but the score for the game here was very close. Normal won by a one point margin, the score being 7 to 6. The second team games showed some promising material for the coming Redbird gridiron teams. Although the team was not altogether victorious this year, some valuable lessons were learned in football. The score is not the only thing to consider in an athletic contest, for in these games they have learned and mastered the ability to co-operate, to think, to lose, to win, to have and to use courage, to work willingly, and to obey orders. After all, these are the most important things. These are the things they will be concerned about in life. Why' not meet them in school, and learn to act correctly and wisely? Quite a number of the Scarlet and Grey warriors received the much coveted C this year. Captain John Wade, Bernard Neher, manager, Dale Streid, man- ager, Robert Cottle, Donald Johnson, Emery Eb'bert, Eldo Brady, Raymond Lenington, Charles Myer, Donald Schultz, and Kenneth Myer, the last two being Freshmen, are the honored receivers of their letters. l57l J J J 4 1 - --- - --- --- - 'f-- i4 r J 4 I-J l First Row Cleft to rightj-Linden Currin.

Our opponent, Pontiac, decision. The season has been fairly successfulg the team and losing the same number. The Redbirds had a total of their opponents' 447 points. Coach Ferree had a very tinc combination wo1'ked out for the team which they followed faithfully. The regular positions were held by Raymond Len- ington, and Robert Cottle, forwards, Theodore Dorman, centerg and Emery Ehbert and Captain Cecil Osborn, guards. The substitutes were Dale Streid, XVarren Osborn, Kenneth May. Denzil May, Bernard Neher, Robert Streid, Linden Currin, Donald Gundy, Gilbert Pils, Gerald Schopp. and Francis Streid. The season started with a bang. Chenoa marked up three successive victories in a grand style. In this initial burst of victory the Redbirds took Flanagan, 23 to 143 Gridley, 29 to 143 and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Childrcn's Home, 35 to 11. According to schedule, on December 22 Chenoa played Pontiac and took the first defeat of the season. Chenoa was outclassed by the larger school but made a good showing. 14 to 28. Fairbury, another strong team of the conference, defeated Chenoa on January 8. The next four games of the season were hair-raising, hectic affairs. They were all close but all four cases ended in a Chenoa victory. Gridley was taken by the small margin of 28 to 21. El Paso put up quite a tight, having a very good team, but they also finally succumbed to Chenoa with a score of 14 to 10. The Redbirds were almost too conhdent when they played Flanagan, but Chenoa finally won with a mere one point margin. the score being 20 to 19. Eureka. likewise lost to Chenoa by a measly one point margin, but that one point won the game for Chenoa, 13 to 12. At the County Tournament, on January 28, Chenoa won their Hrst game, which was with Stanford. 26 to 16. The next team was Downs. Chenoa's old rival. Downs outplayed Chenoa on a large Hoor and finally overcame the Red- birds, 25 to 17. The County Tournament seemed to weaken the morale of the team and it dropped the next five games to comparatively strong teams. Dwight beat Chenoa 44 to 20 in a very good game and with good sportsmanship. Forrest invaded the local Redbird court and handed the Chenoa team its first setback on their home floor of the season, 23 to 17. Lexington won a hard fought game 32 to 16 on Lexington's lloor. February 16 was almost a red-letter evening in Chenoa High's basketball history. because on that evening the Redbirds almost beat Fair- bury, one of the strongest quintets of this section of the country. The game was 19 to 19 at the end of the regular playing period. In the overtime Fairbury annexed one more point than Chenoa and consequently won 22 to 21. a glorious game, at won by a 25 to 17 winning ten games 400 points, against On February 23, Chenoa's most spirited rival. Lexington, invaded the Red- birds' court and annexed a victory to their chart. Lexington won with a score of 23 to 14. The last two games of the scheduled season were easy victories for Chenoa. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home was taken on February 27 with a decisive score of 30 to 15. The High School Alumni were not so easy to defeat for the under-graduates. however. and were only defeated after a long and hard struggle in which the under-graduates were the victors in a 25 to 15 score. Much credit is due Coach Ferree for his training and effort to promote clean athletics in our school. l59l a..: J .H J lr - i'i'i 4 ' Front Row flcft to rightj-Clarence Howell, Fred Blair, Arthur Streid, Margil NVcavcr, Linden Currm. .

Sunk into the depths of a faded, cretonne-covered chair sat a man. His face was saddened by a seeming grey cloud which surrounded him and it laughed as the sun tried to penetrate through its walls. Laughed! Not a laugh of gaiety but a laugh of scorn filled with challenge. The man lifted his head, slowly, and then it nodded. It rose again, unsteady and giddy, and he passed his hand over his eyes as if he were wiping away a lurking cobweb which confronted his vision. His hands grasped the arms of the chair and with an unbalanced action he stood up and looked about the room with an air of wonderment. He removed his coat and tossed it carelessly into the chair which he had just vacated. The broad shoulders straightened and his mouth was set in a grim line as though he were fighting with his inner conscience. Ile crossed the roonn and stood before his easel 'Phe canvas it held vvas ldankl fic hesuated for a nunnent and then udth deft Hngers he grasped one of the brushes froniits holder and dipped u into the paint lie did not need an outline, as he saw the picture clearly in his mind. Day after day he worked and often all night. He worked patiently and accurately. The din of the busy street below was unnoticed by his unheeding ears as his mind dwelt solely on his work. Gradually the portrait was distin- guishable as that of a lady. Her dress which surrounded the smooth, white throat, was a filmy veil like cobwebs shining with sparkling dew. Resting among its folds lay a small jade god. Her flaxen hair was dressed to form a halo, as it were. around the aristocratic face. Under the long silken lashes lay shining pools of blue, tinted like the opal, with glints of green in their depths. A sweet smile wreathed her dainty mouth, somewhat sympathetic, very lovely. The pic- ture was beautiful, exquisite. something sacred to his lonely heart. He stopped in his work. In the stillness of the studio the splashing of rain was heard on the windows. He stood beside it, watching the small drops with deep interest. He noted how they ran together, forming little rivulets that fell from the window sill. They were clear and beautiful, running along so smoothly. Then a small cloud of soot fell into the crystal pool, leaving it dark and clouded. Yes, life is like that! just a small bit of darkness can ruin something so beau- tiful, and hadn't his life been beautiful until that day when-? Yes, life is just hke diatl fie heard the knocker as n feH heavdy on the door of the studum VVhy should he open M? Tie cared to see no one. 'The knocker feH agaui and he opened the door slowly, as if the task were too great for him. Hello, Bat ! spoke a deep masculine voice. Good heavens, man, what's the matter? You look-you look ghastly. XfVoodard glanced about the room and his eyes feH on the portrau. Ile gasped, opened hisrnouth to speak, and then closed it slowly. In front of the heavy, velvet draperies beside the little French window was her portrait. That same sweet smile, those dancing eyes, the golden halo surrounding her face. Why, she looked exactly as she did that day at the reception. That day she-but, but Bat really didn't care, did he? He had never said,-but he had to care to portray anything so beautiful, so life-like! Vlfoodard turned and looked at his friend, and then with a comforting tone in his voice said, Oh, buck up, old chap! Bat continued to gaze vacantly across the room. Realizing that his company was not particularly welcome, W'oodard stole from the studio and carefully closed the doon E641 it if ff Q Turning, Bat faced the painting, and with an almost terrifying plunge, he reached for his brush and dipped it again into the soft, thick paint. VVith great dexterity in his strokes he put dark shadows beneath those glistening opal pools, and they appeared crafty and treacherous. VVhere before one saw the ripples of crystal pools, one now saw the chilling rush of a maddening rivulet. The change was uncanny-almost unbelievable. The man looked at his accomplish- ment for a moment and then continued his work. He looked at the lovely lips caressingly, and then set his own lips in a grim line and picked up a smaller brush, iilled with blue-grey paint. Making short, rapid movements, he abolished the lovely smile and it became crafty, even though it retained its beauty. Wlhile he allowed the well-formed contour of the face to remain, he placed shadows here and there, and then he stepped back to study his work. He gazed at it lixedly for almost an hour. The studio became dim, as twi- light fell over the city. The air became thick and damp, and the breeze which entered through the opened windows was cooler as the sun was slowly slipping away to rest. He arose with a start and dropped a tube of oil onto the soft, grey carpet. VV ith an angry gesture he stepped on it fiercely and a blotch of tangerine lay daringly on the dull background. He glanced at it, and then removed his smock which was covered with big blotches and dabs of paint of every possible hue, and let it fall carelessly, beside his easel. ' WV ith dragging movements he drew on his coat, picked up his well worn hat and left the studio. The walls of the stairway were a cool green and on the wall was the picture of a parrot. Its brilliant plumage stood out to him, and the face of the bird ,looked brazen. Why was this picture so unbearable to him when he had passed it admiringly for the last two years? NV hat power was this that had such influence over him? The night air was soft and warm. He gazed placidly at the shop windows. Passing the corner drug store, he heard a group of laughing voices and turned with envious eyes to note carefree youth. He walked for hours, and when he returned to the studio he heard the heavy chimes of the clock as it struck mid- night. The next morning he was awakened by the bright sunbeams which streamed through the window. On a branch of the dogwood tree which swayed gracefully in the breeze outside his window sat a scarlet cardinal. He cocked his head on one side and his piercing call entered the studio with the breeze and called the sleeping man to the glorious beauty of daybreak. After slowly eating his break- fast. he again picked up his brushes. He looked at the portrait thoughtfully and then smiled affectionately as he covered the dark shadows surrounding her eyes, erased the dark lines which outlined her beautiful mouth, and then retouched the exquisite profile. NVhen he again stepped back to survey his work he saw the beautiful. the inexpressibly beautiful lady that he had portrayed before. Yes, that is the way he would always remember her. As he sat down beside the window in a mood of meditation he looked out to see drops of rainfalling from the grey heavens. The golden sun and its warmth had vanished unnoticed while he worked and in its stead was the damp, chill of April weather. A sparrow flew against the window pane, seeking shelter from the dreary downpour. The bright eyes were blinded by the rain and his little head crashed against the glass. He fell instantly onto the edge -of the window ledge. Death, dreariness, and the dampness of the atmosphere were casting a spell over the man. ' His head nodded, everything was quietghis head nodded again and he fell asleep. His mind was tired and clouded and he slept until evening. l When he awoke he thought about his dream. He walked over to his easel and lifted a l65l -1111...-1-in -ii- 1Lul1- 411.-lipl -in-L-11-1-1 '4-4 JJ Ji'fi- a E1-J brush, with a weak hand. This time he replaced the treacherous look about her mouth. he cast shadows over her faceg then he hesitated. No. he would wait until morning to obliterate those shining opal pools. He wanted to look at them just one more day, and then he would not allow himself to change them after that. The man stood up and then grasped a chair for support. He felt weak, and the room seemed close. After a few minutes he went into his bedroom and tlung himself across the bed. The rain continued its steady fall and splashed loudly against the window. It irritated him so that he wanted to scream. VVhy didn't it stop? A Hash of lightning! The deep rumble of thunder echoed throughout the dismal city. All night he tossed and his mind became clouded, then blank. In the morning the rain was still falling. The heavy toll of church bells sounded drolly and their notes beckoned unceasingly, calling the people to church. VVhy didn't those infernal bells cease? VVould they never quit that unmerciful tolling? The bells sounded softer. they were farther away, the tones became sweeter. Listen, they were-they had become silent. Death had crept softly into the studio and made its escape unnoticed. The palette and brushes would never again be touched by their master's hand. Life had vanished! Life was like that! The portrait stood in its corner. The laugh- ing eyes looked about the silent studio but the expression on the face was deter- mined-moody. It remained as the master had left it! In the east wing of the art gallery is a large glass case in a black frame. The picture stops every quick step that passes through the marble corridor. That expression! It is uncanny. Incredible! On the bottom of the frame is a small metal marker hearing the inscription, The Unfinished Portrait by Bartleson Galloway. FRANCES DEGNAN. RECESSIONAL Oh God! Have mercy on me. The end is almost here. I knew it was coming but I did not think so soon. Oh, why did I do it? Think of little Jim. W'hy take me so young? I uttered these wordsg then lapsed into moody silence.

PIRATES Vlfhen I was but a small lad. my grandfather told me stories of blood-thirsty pirates who roamed the seas, rol hing and killing people. The most noted of all these pirates was Four-Fingered Pete . I-Ie was I67l -1 ---.gi 1111-111- . - -11-l-1-l 1-1 1-1-1- J1'J'l.r a 'La short and stocky and had black fuzzy hair and a short beard. His face was very rough-looking. His nose had been broken and his jaw knocked totally out of place. One of his hands was cut off and the thumb was gone from the other hand, thence the namej. He was extremely unpleasant to talk to. and was very much a pirate and used the roughest of language. His favorite expression was, Blow my ears off . Four-Fingered Pete'? had three special helpers. The first in importance was Eyebrow John . His most noticeable feature was his very bushy, very black eyebrows. His eyes were small and dark and heady. This made his eye- brows more prominent. He was very tall and big. He had no beard, only a small mustache. He always obeyed and agreed with the chief in everything, but he hated the expressoin so often used by Four-Fingered Pete - Blow my ears off . ' The second helper was called Old Charlie . Even though the name does not suggest it he was nearly as rough-looking as the others, but in a different manner. Can you imagine a small. very old-looking, dried up, sour-faced man: one who has no especially horrifying feature, but looks exactly like a dried-up prune? That is a picture of Charlie , He was very crafty and treacherous and often tried to trick the chief . The last member of this Famous Four was Smarty Yen . In considera- tion with the other pirates he was not at all rough-looking. He was not well- liked by the other pirates and they could not understand why Four-Fingers included him in the important group. Smarty Yen had been pretty well edu- cated before becoming a pirate and Four-Fingered Pete realized how valuable he really was. He was .clever and had a cold calculating mind and a small heart. It was he who thought of some of the most important details of their plunderings. Perhaps some time I will tell you these adventurous tales that have been told to me of the Famous Four .

THE STORM Swiftly scudding across The heavens, Is a dark enraged cloudg Wfhich suddenly, silently glides till the sun And all its brightness ls hidden bv its unmerciful Shroud. The lightning darts across The sky In paces swifter than The eye. Thunder follows with a Mournful groan Then peace reigns where Sorrow was known. Blessed raindrops fall of One accord And feed the sunbaked Sod. The clouds to Heaven have Ascended. Mother earth drinks deeply And sighs-contented. l71l ZILPHIA VVILSON. JJ J fr 4 1-J FLAT NOTES M1'.
