Uchtmann A factor contributing greatly to the success of our programs has been the victrola-radio-public-address system which was installed this year. This new equipment was acquired through the efforts of the Student Board of Control. The public address system was used at every home basketball and football game for announcing substitutions, penalties, etc. The victrola attachment furnishes music for dancing, both at noon and at our parties. The radio is used to provide the various classes with educational talks from all over the world. Back row: W Wittenbrink, R. Welge. W Stueven, V Wittenbrink, R Smith, K Welge, L. Wittenbrink.

CLASS OF '40 The Juniors of '38-'39 may well look with pride at the record they have established throughout the year. To lead us through this eventful year we Juniors chose Joe Bruegger, president; Bill Davis, vice-president; and Helen Hoffman, secretary-treasurer. Chester’s record breaking football team was predominantly Juniors. Ten boys, J. Bruegger, B. Eggers, V. Hesse, F. Eamey, Wm. Davis, P. Backer, P. Novack, C. Manwaring, L. Surman, and D. Gillis, received letters for their valor on the gridiron. Four of these boys, J. Bruegger, P. Backer, F. Eamey, and V. Hesse, also represented their class on the basketball floor. While these boys were fighting for the honor of Chester High in the field of sports, they were cheered on by their classmates in the band, D. Gillis, A. Lehnhoff, D. Rainey, D. Wittenborn, C. Manwaring, and I. Kendall. A peep at the program of that successful operetta, Hollywood Extra will show us the names of five Junior girls, B. Johns, M. Krueger, M. Mueller, B. Leavitt, E. Huffmaster, and five Junior boys, P. Backer, Wm. Davis, L. Duchinsky, C. Manwaring, and K. Pohle. A took at the rostrums of the leaders of the several different clubs will show us that the Juniors are not only participators but also leaders. The officers of the Science Club, P. Backer, C. Martin, B. Johns, and D. Gillis, are all Juniors. Paul Backer is president of our National Athletic Society. Our contribution to the membership of the student governing body, the Student Board, is J. Bruegger, D. Wittenborn, K. Barger, and P. Backer. Our Junior journalists of the future, D. Rainey, C. Manwaring, and W. Davis, are all working hard on the annual. The Juniors gave the annual Junior-Senior banquet on May 13. This affair was one of the most anticipated events of the year for both classes. 23 William Hopkins.
