REANY Page 5 , by FACULTY Beside yon straggling fence that skirts the WCW, With blossom'd iurze unprotitably gay, There, in his noisy mansion, skill'd to rule, The village master taught his little school. A man severe he was, and stern to viewg I knew him well, and every traunt knew: Well had the boding tremblers learned to trace The day's disasters in his morning face: Full well they laughed with counterfeited glee At all his jokes, for many cs joke had heg Full well the busy whisper, circling round, Conveyed the dismal tidings when he frowned. Yet he was kind: or if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning was in fault. -The Deferled Village, ALM-LR1' E.

In Memory of GEORGE CALVIN GENTES who would have graduated with the class of '39, Page 12 Page 13 SENIOR CLASS HISTCDRY On September 5, 1935, a new group of boys and girls entered the Chenoa High School. Miss Barth and Mr. Ferree were the foremen. The first semes- ter Vernon King, Gerald Claudon, and Mary Schwager were the three man- agers. ln September the cowboys and girls stopped at Tourist Park tor a Wiener roast. The second semester the managers were relieved of their work by Marjorie Lahn, Mildred Skaggs, and Eudora Bunge. ln May they stopped at Asper's Grove for a picnic. ln june the cowboys and girls stopped at a Ranch for a three months' vacation. One term was not enough for them to learn to use the rope accurately so they came back again on August Sl, 1936. Miss Barth and Mr. jenson were the two foremen. Mildred Skaggs, john Vercler, Martha Reis, and Harold Morris were the managers. At the William Gentes Ranch they took time out for a Hallowe'en party. During the second semester the managers were Verda Estes, Mildred Rathbun, Bernice Gentes, and Gerald Claudon. As the cowboys and girls were getting tired of riding so long, in May they stopped in Pontiac where they went to a skating party. In june they stopped for another three months' vacation. After a three months vacation they all came galloping back, swinging their ropes and ready for work. Their new toremen were Miss lohnson and Mr, Perdue. Bernice Gentes, Harold Morris, Iohn Vercler, and Lucas Buttry were the managers for the first half of the year. On Community Fair Day, because they were running low on expense money, they sold chances on a five dollar bill. They also won second place on the float they made. On November 24, the cowboys and girls stopped long enough to buy their class rings and pins. The second semester Mary Schwager, Ruth Ringenberg, Mildred Rathbun, and Rozella Oltman were chosen for the managers. ln june the cowboys and girls reached the third destination of their journey through Chenoa High Ranch. Three more months of vacation, They were getting to be quite experts at slinging the rope. The new managers for the first semester were Eudora Bunge, Elizabeth Miller, Marjorie Lahn, and Harold Morris, Our new foremen were Miss johnson, and Mr. Elson. The Senior play was a great success. The second semester the new managers were Bill Tacey, Floyd Todd, Rozella Oltman, and john Whitmar. The class worked very hard to print the Annual, the book of activities of the ranchers and finally it was done. Then came another junior-Senior Round-up.

THE STORY CF TITLES Caddie Woodlawn was a reporter and At 33 she Collected Dog Stories for Little Women. The stories Came Like Swallows and she was swamped with stories of Heads and Tales. A feature story was The Beloved Vagabond who went away ln Midwinter. He Went with Marco Polo on board The Dark Frigate. He fell overboard and when On the Bottom some one sent down a Harpoon and he climbed on board once more. At one port they saw Victoria of England talking to A Rider of Cherokee Strip who was telling her Grimm's Fairy Stories. He was so con- vincing that the Beloved Vagabond took the Railroad West. A Front Page Story was written when The First Rebel said Goodbye. Mr. Chips and took The Mountain Men and went Marching On to Treasure Island. Caddie was busy when The Poet of Craigie House proposed to Sue Barton. She accepted and they went Skyway to Asia and Fire in the Ice and The Sophomores Abroad. The Voyage of Martin Conner was a puzzle until the Foxes solved it. Caddie tried to solve The Red House Mystery but she met a handsome gangster and she was in Lost Paradise forever.

BAND Page 30 Page 31 The Orchestra Our orchestra, a twenty piece assemble, accompanied by Miss Ruth Ann Schwager and Eudora Bunge, starred again in this year's operetta. As this is the only chance of recognition our violins get we try to have our orchestra represented here. We practiced before school from 8:15 to 9:00. A member of our orchestra has played on several radio programs, Our orchestra plays concert numbers, and overtures. Mr. Perdue, music director of Chenoa then started a violin class and then after they became good, he lead the orchestra. Band This year the band started out with a forty piece band, this being an increase of over one hundred percent compared with last year. We prac- ticed from ll:3U to twelve this year in the room which was left vacant by the Farm Mechanics class. Our band played at all home basketball games and most of the football games. We have numerous band members that rep- resented us on the Know Your Schools Program sponsored by the State Department of Public Instruction. We have also made trips to WIBC at Bloomington. A committee composed of a person in band from every class has seen about getting new uniforms and we hope before long the band will display uniforms. The band played at numerous community affairs in- cluding the Armistice Day program and the Memorial Day Service. Our band should continue to improve again next year as the beginners are speedily improving. Mr. Perdue, our capable leader, separated each section and had separate rehearsals, ln this way our band has developd into a great band.

F. A. Chapter organized and elected for its officers for the first semester as follows: john Vercler, president, Vernon King, vice-president, Gerald Claudon, secretary, Floyd Todd, treas- urer and john Gentes, reporter. The officers for the second semester Were: Bill Tacey, president, Verne Erdman, vice-president, james Skaggs, secre- taryg Kenneth Zimmerman, treasurer, and Dave Schieman, reporter. Some of the major activities tor the year were the Vocational Agriculture Show which was held at Chenoa, participating in sponsoring the Annual Corn Show, family night for all Ag boys parents, a kid brothers night, steak fry, Father and Son Banquet. The Iamboree and Basketball tournament were sponsored by our local chapter with Lexington, Fairbury and Gridley all taking part in these. We had judging teams for milk, meat, grain, poultry, fat stock and dairy, Our chapter raised money by selling seeds, collecting junk, picking up corn, and selling candy. This money that the boys earned will be spent on a camping trip this summer, Home Economics Since the Home Economics Department is under the Smith-Hughes plan, a group of interested girls met to establish a Home Economics club with Mary Elizabeth Schwager as president, Hannah Gillespie as vice-president, and Rozella Oltman as secretary and treasurer. Although the club has not had a chance to accomplish much this year, a bigger and better club is anticipated for next year.

Page 38 REVIEW OE Tl-IE SEASON Football After losing their first three games, Chenoa's Redbirds, led by Capt. Gentes, found them- selves and wound up the season by winning their last six games. Our first game, with Chatsworth, was a close battle with the Redbirds coming out on the losing end by a score of 7.0. V The next Friday they lost to the powerful Wash. team, 25- l3. Then our first game under the new and powerful lights was with Pontiac. The Red- skins scalped our boys by a score of 18-U. At our next game we turned the tables and our winning streak continued throughout the rest of the season. Our first victory came when we played Eureka there. We beat them 29-6. Winning our next three games gave us very little trouble, beating Farmer City 34-13, Leroy 27-O, Saunemin 26-12. Although we won the next game it was not so easily done. We won over the tough Gridley team l3.U. Now for the climax of the football season, the most talked of and built up game of the sea- son. This was with Coach Smiths Fairbury boys. A lot of Chenoa people were scared be- cause our Iron Man Buck Kauffman was un- able to play due to an injury received in the Page 39 Gridley game. However, Bill Tacey came through in fine shape for Buck. Harold Morris gave an outstanding performance of grit and determination in that game. Since he knew it was his last game of high school foot- ball, he put everything he had into it and did a swell job. We beat those boys l2-2 in one of the hardest fought games that Chenoa had seen for a long time or as a matter of fact Fair- bury either. The Chenoa Reds completely out-classed the Fair- bury eleven. Mention should also be made of Harry Morris's kick- ing ability. He was particu- larly outstanding in kicking points after touchdowns and seldom seemed to miss. This winds up our football season and it looks as if Chenoa will have another powerful eleven on the Gridiron next fall. Buck Kauffman will be Captain of next year's team, The letter men are: Tacey Gentes Morris Claudon King Zimmerman Erdman Buck Kauffman Picket Sherrington Parry Gatewood Thompson D. Tacey Basketball Chenoa had a very successful basketball season this year, winning l8 games out of 23. Of these games only 2 scheduled games were lost. They started off by winning the first six games by a large margin. Due to the fact that Chenoa had an outstanding team, they were in- vited to the Pontiac Holiday Tournament and competed with some of the best teams in the state. For the first time in Chenoa's history of basketball they won the County Championship. ln this tournament they met the strong Saybrook outfit and defeated them by lU points. By winning this tournament they received the Pantagraph traveling trophy and the County trophy. After another series of wins they encountered Lexington in the Regional and won by a large score. ln the next game they were defeated by the powerful U. High Cagemen. The scoring was mostly divided between Captain Morris and Robert Pickett. Even if these two players did most of the scoring the rest of the team came in for their share. This team, although small in size, had plenty of stamina and team work. Mention should also be made of our two cheerleaders and the wonder- ful support of the fans. Let's hope that Captain Pickett's team next year will be just as good or better than this years team. The lettermen for this year's team are: Seniors, Harold Morris, Bill Tacey, lohn Vercler, Vernon King, Iuniors, Robert Pickett, Buck Kauffman, and Freshman, Don Tacey. Track Chenoa lacked only 4 points of winning the County track meet held at Normal University last year. This year they are planning to come back and win the County Championship. Due to the fact that the new track will not be finished Chenoa will have no home meets. However, this does not effect the interest in track because there are a large number of track men out, especially underclassrnen. There is a considerable amount of track material this year and if they win the County meet it will make two county championships for Chenoa in one season which has never been accomplished before.

Page 45 The terrible sleeping sickness disease among horses that has been sweep- ing the country has finally been solved. lt seems like a mosquito bit a WPA worker and then started in biting horses. A politician was making a tour of a WPA project and came upon a lone carpenter driving nails in the side of a house. He quietly observed the worker for sometime. The worker would pick up a nail and sometimes he would drive it and sometimes he would just look at it and then throw it over his shoulder. The politician seeing several nails being wasted this way stepped over to the worker and said See here my fine feathered friend, you can't waste the tax- payers' money by throwing away those nails like that. The laborer replied, Those nails are pointing the wrong way. We cannot drive them in this board. Then the politician said l'Well, those nails were meant for the other side of the house.

Page 48 Page 49 BUILDING UP TO A GREAT LET DOWN All my life I had had a great desire to be with the opposite sex. I worked, slaved, and begged so that I might be presented with that feeling of ecstacy which comes with escorting a beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed, high in- stepped, medium sized girl to some place or other. I sat at school watching this most marvelous girl, this lovely bit of fem- ininity go to and fro, mostly fro, Now I will try to bring you with me in my dreams during my study period. She was the girl for me. Without her I would die. In her eyes I could see music. It was Get out of Town before it's too late. Why couldn't I meet this girl? I hadn't done anything wrong. I always carried cobs, water and coal. I'm sure the world owed me a date, or the girls did, one or the other. One day after a rain storm, I mustered up enough courage to march up to this beautiful creature like a soldier who is about to be shot. I said I says to this girl who was about my size or smaller Would you like for me to go to the movies with you, I mean would I like to go with you, then I said, Oh darn it anyhow. Will you attend the movie with me? and to my surprise she didn't say no. Was I surprised? Well a little, of course, I realized that I was not hard to look at but her acceptance was really unexpected. Love blossomed! Today I was a man, a man of bravery. But since that day I have been slipping and now I am a man of ruins. FLOYD D. TODD. PARODY TO Tl-IE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS tby The Eatesl Eighteen years and fifty-tive days ago there was brought forth by a cer- tain doctor a new child, born at night and selected to prove that all men were once babies. Then he was bedecked in three cornered pants, testing whether that mother, or any mother with a noisy babe could endure it very long. That great battlefield was in Illinois. We are now here to decide whether that baby was worth the doctor's fee, so that babe might go on in life. It is very necessary that we should do this. But who are we to decide, to vote, and to sentence this child. He, living but not dead, who bawled here proved that his lungs were OK. The people will not know nor find out what we say about him, but they will long re- member his pranks. It is for, THE EATES, to decide whether he would make a good yodeler or if he would make a better hogcaller. It is for us to decide about his vocation-whether he shall be a forest-ranger, a cobbler, or a bachelor, we highly resolve that he shall not have been born in vain, that this babe under water will not drown, but will be a good swimmer, and that this babe of Chenoa, of Illinois, and of the United States, shall not be bald- headed. Written by IOHN WI-IITMAR. WI-IEN WOMEN MAKE-UP DO THEY MAKE UP OR DOWN Many people have many ideas as to whether a woman is made up or made down when she makes-up. As for me, I've seen both varieties and and prefer the make-up variety to the made-down variety. In other words a woman who has put on just enough make-up to be made up, is far more preferred to one who has put on too much and is made-down. I've seen some women so brilliantly decorated that they looked like a four-alarm fire out of control. Maybe you have wondered why lip-stick was thus named. I have one definition that ought to stick. Lip-stick is a compound Cusually brilliant redl that sticks to anything it, Cor the decorated lipsl come in Contact with. Also why is gun-powder and face-powder called powder. Probably because they both blow things up. Gun-powder blows things up and face-powder blows up a woman so that a man either falls pro or con. I dont suppose many men have had any feminine decorations on them. fOr have they?l I once had the infernal stuff on in a play. I don't know what I looked like but I sure know what I felt like. That red-hued lip-stick made my lips so dry and stiff that I couldn't even whistle Chop-Sticks. The one thing I can say about that powder Cface-powderlg it made my face so smooth that I couldn't tell whether I had shaved a week ago or an hour before. But that rouge was the thing that made me look like a sun-burnt apple instead of a sun-kissed one. Another thing I can't see, is why women pull all of Cwell nearly all ofl the hair out of their eye-brows. If some only knew how they looked. I've seen some women whose eye-brows looked like a man's lip when he is attempting to raise a mustache, but in the wrong place of course. Also why do they curl their eye-lashes? Probably so they can throw the tears around better when something happens that wasn't supposed to. Another thing that seems about as silly is some of these hairdresses that make them look like some wild animal that just escaped from the zoo. One day you will see them with a special 957.00 style and the next day with a 554.00 style. Yet, another thing that is about the most ridiculous of all is the elaborate decorating of the feminine nails feven toenailsl. It's all right to take care of the nails, but why paint them with red nail polishp why not use red barn- paint, it's cheaper and a gallon ought to last a life-time or would itl. Why do they paint their toenails and then put on shoes so they can't be seen? fthe toe-nailsl. Women have a great variety of shoes and I guess they all serve one purpose Cmore money for the shoemanl. Did you ever see these new tree shoes Cmade of woodl? I suppose the women think that they can walk on water, And those high-heeled or rather spike shoes are really something. No wonder the women complain about corns and bunions, their toes are rammed down into those dog-covers so tight that they can't even wiggle. Page 50 Page 5l This Easter Parade business really is something, but those Easter hat creations are getting worse each year. No wonder the birds are all flying around making such a racket. They think that someone has run off with their nest and they'll have to keep up house-keeping on my-lady's head. There is also the question of clothes. That is the only thing a woman says, Clothes, clothes, clothes. They always claim they are nice and warm. Well, maybe they are, but I doubt it. In the winter they don't wear enough to keep a dead man warm in the summerg and in the summer wellier?-. There are many more phases in a woman's makeup than could be discussed but I'll have to delve into the subject a little deeper. How about all of us men getting together and inventing something to decorate ourselves with. Then maybe the woman would have something to laugh at. fOr would they?J. by IOHN WI-IITMAR ART LESSON When I was in the third grade I developed a taste for art. Since then I have lost it. I-Iere, I think, is the reason for not appreciating art and also how I happened to change my mind about the occupation. It all happened in a small one-horse town of about 300 people. I went to school in the small grade school they had there. I was in the third grade and my teacher suddenly took a dislike to me-anyway there is the story: It was in the morning of a May day. The sun was shining outside and I was restless and wanted something to do. I was smart so I had already finished my arithmetic. I was seated in a front seat-not because of my be- havior you understand-because I was one of the best students in the room. I discovered a tablet back and decided to make it look better. I turned it side' ways Iso I could get her ears inl and proceeded to draw a picture of my teacher. I developed it very nicely and put on a beautiful sharp nose, a pair of moderately large ears, some nice horse teeth protruding from her crooked upper lip and made her cross-eyed. Then I drew a cigarette in her mouth as it was rumored about she smoked some. Then since I was also a pretty good printer I printed her name on the bottom and wrote mine neatly on top. Then, to show off, I imagine, I passed it to the rascal behind me. He looked at it and hee-hawed. In passing it back he dropped it-on purpose I guess. The teacher looked up from her desk and a frown took shape on her face. She ordered him to bring it to her. I-Ie did. I ought to stop here but I will finish it. She looked the card over and her face turned all colors of the rainbow. She stepped over to her locker and took out a paddle. By this time I was wishing I had a business appointment in the next county instead of the hall. She took me out in the hall by my ear. You can guess the rest as it wasn't funny enough to tell. I imagine I received another licking when I got home upon the same misused portion of my body. So from then on and forever afterwards I hated and will continue to hate art. -LUCAS BUTTRY. GOSSIP Gossip is a word, a noun really, which means practically the same as scandal. Gossip is the most serious subject in the world and as long as we are on that subject l think that we ought to gather some information about it. Gossip or using a less harsh word is exaggerated scandal. There are two ways that gossip may be spread. First, by nosy people Cusually at bridge clubsl, and secondly by educated parrots. For example: one old maid says to another at the bridge table, l heard that lim Calahan went to Flanagan yesterday. The other one says, l wonder what for, his father doesnt do any business over there, Buzz, buzz, buzz. She thinks and thinks and on the way home she says to the friend walking with her, l'You know, it certainly is a mystery why lim Calahan went to Flanagan. Her friend says, l didnt know he went. Her first friend says, You don't! Why l thought every- one did. As soon as she reaches home the second friend, Hepzibah, rings up her sister and tells her that lim Calahan went away on a mysterious trip and that if she were his girl friend she certainly would find out all about it. Now as it happens the girl friends mother heard this conversation on the line and immediately tells her daughter that her boy friend went away probably to see another girl. On account of this they will probably break up soon. You see what a great help scandal is through this example because people will say that they weren't suited for each other anyway. This is also an example of talking about people. There is one other thing that they talk about and that is clothes. Mrs. Smith says to Mrs. lones, Lydia has a new hat and is it ever funny! Mrs. Iones says, ls it? and the next time she sees some one she tells them that Lydia has a new hat Cprobably done overl and probably with a bird on it. The next person after that hears that Lydia did over her hat into practically a bird nest with the garden in which it should be included. This is the most natural way for gossip to start. Another good way to start gossip is to tell some friend of yours in school that you are going to tell them something that you don't want any other person to know about but nd so on and so on. No matter how you try to keep it from others they will soon know all. This is undoubtedly the reason that spinsters so often are called hear all, see all, and tell all. Moral: lf you clon't want anyone to know what your good fortune is-just put it in the paper for they won't believe it then. -EUDORA BUNGE Page 52 L. G. BALFOUR F. E. Hyson, Dist, Mgr.
