BuT The Chenoa fans are always assured ThaT The Team ThaT Takes The Tield under Coach Ferree's guidance will be one oT The smarTesT and hardesT TighTing Teams in The commune iTy. l-laTs oTT To Coach Ferreel The Redbirds opened The I937 TooTball season on Their home Tield on SepTember T7 by losing To ChaTsworTh I6-O. The nexT week on SepTember 23 The locals moTored To WashingTon on CommuniTy Fair day and Tound Their sTride, beaTing Their hosTs T3-6 by way of The Torward pass. The Chenoa Redbirds meT The PonTiac Indians Tor The Tirsr Time in Three years on OcTober I. The PonTiac gridders proved a liTTle Too pow- erful Tor The lighTer Chenoa Team and senT Them home wiTh a 36-O deTeaT. The second home game was played on OcTober 8 wiTh Eureka. The Redbirds were ouT Tor revenge Tor lasT year's deTeaT and wiTh The superb ball carrying of Buck KauTTman Trounced Their visiTors 27-6.

The Redbirds ToughT bravely To The lasT minuTe, buT could noT compare wiTh Their much heavier opponenTs, losing To Them 46-O. This game closed The T937 season wiTh Three wins and six losses. This is cerTainly noT a bad percenTage when The size and weighT oT The opposing Teams are Taken in consideraTion as The Redbirds were ouTweighed in every game. The Third annual TooTball banqueT sponsored by The American Legion was held in The l-ligh School Gym on November I7. EighTeen players received Their leTTers and prospecTs Tor i938 are looking very brighT. I I I ' Basketball The Redbirds were represenTed during The '37-'38 season by one oT The TinesT baskeTball quinTeTs ever To don The scarleT and gray. Chenoa played TwenTy-Two games, winning exacTly one-halT oT Them. Many of The games los+ were very exciTing and close, The ouTcome undecided unTil The lasT minuTe oT play. The Redbirds losT a ToTal oT six games by one poinT and anoTher in an overTime. These TacTs show ThaT The comparaTively small Chenoa boys were TighTing down To The lasT minuTe againsT Their more experienced and much Taller opponenTs. The CapTain Tor The pasT season was Leland Phillis, who led his TeammaTes To a very successTul season. CapTain Phillis' play was especially brillianT in The second LexingTon game. CapTain-elecT Tor nexT season is l-larold Morris. Young Morris was high scorer Tor Chenoa This season wiTh l92 poinTs. l-larry has a dead-eye Tor The baskeT and many Tans Think he is one oT The TinesT play- ers They have seen on a home Floor. Chenoa had The honor oT being selecTed as The siTe oT The Regional TournamenT in This communiTy This March. The reason Tor This selecTion being The Tine new Gym ThaT Chenoa has boasTed The pasT season. Many Tine Teams were seen in acTion here wiTh Fairbury walking ouT wiTh The Trophy. The Redbirds were piTTed againsT The much Taller BloomingTon Team in The TirsT round. Chenoa gave The CounTy SeaT Team plenTy oT Trouble buT succumbed, due mainly To The heighT advanTage. The Redbird Tive This year was a Tairly experienced Team and The Tans are looking Torward To a winning season nexT year wiTh Three regulars and Two oTher leTTermen reTurning. MenTion musT be made oT Chenoa's Sophomore guards, Toad PickeTT and Buck KauTTman. These boys carried a large parT oT The load oT The games The pasT Two seasons and They have Two more ahead oT Them. LeTTermen include-Seniors: CapTain Phillis, FriTz, SherringTon, RoberTs. Juniors: CapTain-elecT Morris, King. Sophomores: KauTTman, PickeTT, Burke. Track The Track Team of I937 led by CapTain Eldon Zimmerman enjoyed a very success- Tul season aTTer geTTing a raTher slow sTarT. The Redbirds were noT very successTul in winning dual and Triangular meeTs in The TirsT weeks oT The season. As The weeks rolled by and The CounTy MeeT approached, The Redbirds were working very hard in prac- Tice. They were The currenf CounTy Champs Trom The year before and iT meanT much To Them To repeaT. The CounTy MeeT was held aT Normal UniversiTy on The morning oT May 7, I937. AlThough only one TirsT place was won individually, The Chenoa Track men walked oTT wiTh The honors. The abiliTy oT The relay Teams To win TirsT places and The abiliTy OT The Redbirds To capTure The majoriTy oT The seconds and Thirds made Them The CounTy Champions Tor Two consecuTive years. The Seniors oT I937 who will be missed in The I938 season are CapTain Zimmer- man: Lyle King, who specialized in The hurdles: Charles Voland, always good Tor a place in The shoT puT: and Ed Blair, who seemed never To Tire in The mile run. The Track season oT l938 goT under swing wifh Three reTurning leTTermen, CapTain Lloyd Howell, Lyell Elson, and RoberT PickeTT. The TirsT meeT was The inTerclass meeT in which The Seniors barely nosed ouT The Sophomores To Take TirsT place. The Red- birds have a big goal To shooT Tor in T938 when They moTor To Normal Tor The CounTy MeeT. IT They succeed in winning The meeT iT will be Tor The Third consecuTive year. a TeaT ThaT will place Them up among The True Champions of McLean CounTy. Payr Forlv-t I922 Brown, C.-l:ooTball 4.

F I I Vanity As I wandered Through a deparTmenT sTore The oTher day, I came upon ThaT sec- Tion OT The sTore which is known as The beauTy salon. I sToocl in amaze-menT as I gazed aT The maze oT preparaTions and beauTy aids which sTood around me on display coun- Ters and on shelves. Now I always have had my idea abouT The vaniTy oT our Tairer sex and iT was none Too complimenTary, buT as I sTood There I could readily see The poinT oT many a joke abouT woman's love Tor her charms. There were vanishing creams, cleansing creams, almond creams, massage creams, Tinishing creams, and a greaT quanTiTy oT oTher creams, oils, and oinTmenTs, lations, and iunk. The preparaTions Tor The eye alone were enough To make one dizzy. This included eye washes and eye IoTions, eye-lash mascaras oT diTTerenT visconsiTies and oT many hues. The sTore specialized in The very TinesT grade oT Talse eyelashes and The eyebrow pencils were made by numerous manuTacTurers in a hosT oT diTTerenT shades oT black and brown. We all know oT The many eye shades on The markeT, so I will skip Them. Nearly all oT our greaT populace knows oT The greaT varieTy oT IipsTicks, powders, and rouges available. Inside oT a Tew seconds a woman can puT a TainT Tlush on her Tace, or she can wear a deep blush. Up To This poinT I had been sTarTIed To quiTe an exTenT, buT I was sfill in Tor The greaTesT surprise oT all. For, as I wenT onward, I came To The gadgeT secTion where, To my horror, I Tound gadgeTs To Take wrinkles ouT, gadgeTs To puT dimples in, gad'geTs To curl eyelashes, and gadgeTs To roll olll excess chins. I decided ThaT a lady can change anyThing buT The shape oT her nose, and I made a hasTy exiT wondering whaT a woman really looks like under her burden oT makeup and arTiTiciaI aids. THOMAS BEAR.

BETTY SHIFLETT, lVlonkey Business The stars were bright, the sky was clear: l visited the tair And wandered to the monkey house, but the monkeys weren't there. They'd tired ot their surroundings and were seeking quarters new, From root to tree and tree to root, they literally tlew. Until they spied the pottery house, with vases gay and bright. Said Mr, Monk to Mrs. Monk, 'Tis here we'll spend the night But once inside, they couldn't sleep,-they had to play a game. So each monk chose a corner, and their playing wasn't tame. From wall to wall, the vases tlewg-each landed with a crash! And atter halt an hour or so, the pottery was trash. A native gleam ot caution told the monks This wouldn't do! - They couldn't be caught,-they'd have to leave or have this night to rue. So stealthily, they lett the scene, and returned to the told. l-lad I not been a witness, this story couldn't be told.
