They decided to try their luck. The first and second mates worked together and finally reached the fateful tree mentioned in the map. They dug and soon discovered a box labeled C.C.H.S. having four compartments. The first compartment contained a few big and beautifully polished diamonds. On top of these was an ancient piece of parchment bearing the history of these lovely gems. 1955-1956 'In September, 1955, fourty-four hopeful young Freshmen enrolled in the Colchester High School and were dutifully and traditionally initiated by the Sophomores. At their first class meeting, presided over by the class advisors, Don Bunt and Wilbur Jewsbury, the following officers were elected: President ------------ Benny Myers Vice President ------- James Foster Secretary ------------ Cecil Kipling Treasurer ------------ Virgil Beal Reporter ------------- Phyllis Bryant They chose as their class colors, green and white: their class flower, lily-of-the-vallcyg and their motto, UShoot with the rifle of concentration, not with the shotgun of scatterat1on.W This motto they carried for the first three years after which lt was changed to USuccess awaits at Labor's gate.n 1956-1957. The Sophomore year was carried through success- fully by thlrty-five remaining class members. The newly- elected officers were: Rresident- ----------- Doris Parks Vice President ------- Virgil Beal Secretary --------- ---Barbara Mitchell Treasurer ------------ Reva McCullough Reporter ------------- Norma Lee Hooker Student Council ------ Cecil Kipling The class gained prestige when Lora Mae Runkle reigned as the School Queen during her Sophomore and Junior years. The year as a whole was uneventful--the only excitement being when Junior Kipling changed his name to Cecil. 41:53 icentum. p. 171 CLASS ROLL ' Mary Asn--Gym.

The Junior year proved to be one of the hard- est and busiest years for the class of now only thirty-one. Advisor Bunt was replaced by the new faculty member, Doro- thy Bryant. The following officers were elected: President ------------------- Doris Parks Vice President ------------ --Robert Banks Secretary ---- -- ------------- Phyllis Bryant Treasurer ------------------- Gwendolyn Hunt Reporter ---- - --------------- Barbara Mitchell Student Council ------------- Phyllis Bryant Robert Banks . The two great events of the year were the successful class play, NSimple Simon Simplen presented November 5, and the Junior-Senior Banquet based on the theme of music, May 13. 1938-1939. Thirty-three Senior enrolled in September but only thirty-two graduated. The following officers were o- lected to serve for their last year in high school: President ----------------- Lora Mae Runkle Vice President ------------ Irvin Pogue Secretary ----------------- Phyllis Bryant Treasurer ----------------- Gwendolyn Hunt Social Chairmen ----------- Margaret Hoyt Cecil Kipling, Jr. Student Council ----------- Mary Ash Robert Carson The outstanding features of this year were the Thanksgiv- ing Banquet, the Senior Class Play, NThe Bishop Misbehavesn presented February 25, and the publishing of our annual. Throughout all the long, four years of high school, this year's graduating senior have pulled togetherg we've all made revisions in our various opinions for the general harmony and good of the class. Because of class initiative and cooperation we have had the most successful parties to be sponsored in this high school---remember the Thanksgiving Banquetl! Throughout our four years of high school, we have had the highest scholastic average in the entire high school. Our class has its share of talent too--Cecil Kipling and Bob Carson winners of several dramatic contests and Barbara Mitchell has been to three state vocal contests, not to mention the individual talents of a number of other students. We're passing on to the underclassmen our will to work and our wishes for their success in their attempted undertakings. May their High School days be filled with happiness so that their memories will be as pleasant as ours.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Junior Class of 1938-59 enrolled as Freshmen in September of 1936 numbering fifty-two in all. The class, sponsored by Mr. Welch, elected the following officers: President ------------------ Margie Nooner Vice-Pres. -------------- William Roberts Secretary --------------- Lorene Williams Treasurer ----- - --------- Vivian Roberson Reporter ------------------- --Janet Moon Student Council ---------- ---Betty Mason Forty-two enrolled Sophomores elected the following officers: President -------------- Marion Duncan Vice-Pres. -------- ----- Helen Swanson r Secretary, Trees. ---- Lorene Williams Class Reporter ------- William Roberts 4. Student Council ------------ Mary Cuba The Class Advisors for their second year were Miss Faye Kern and Miss Elberta Alexander. ' Forty-one enrolled as Juniors and the following of- ficers were elected: President ------------------- Ray Steele Vice-Pres. ----------- Mary Ellen Gillis Secretary -------------- Lorene Williams Treasurer ----------------- Luan Robeson Social Chairman ------- Josephine Hodges Class Advisors Kern and Alexander were replaced by Miss Mary L. Forsyth and Miss Virginia L. Effland. The outstanding feature of the Junior year was the presentation of the class play on November 9. The plan WLife Begins at Sixteen,W directed by Miss Ruth Morgan, was a glorious, heart-warming comedy of youth. The cast of characters co sisted of the following class members: Travis Booth, Eigvh 14 hrlewe, Harriet Wetzel, Henry Stone, Margie Nooner, Janet Moon, William Roberts, Joseph Whalen, Betty Martin, Billy Hoyt, Mary Ellen Gillis, Lo- rene Williams, Vivian Roberson, and Mary Cuba. Another feature was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at the Lamoine Hotel, May 19, and was built a- round the theme of Commencement. - C213 HSteward Kern and Ensign Peck, on climbing a tree, saw First and Second Quartermasters Effland and Forsyth exem- ining the Rubies. with great haste they slid down the tree trunk and hastened to the third compartment. This third compartment contained fifty-five irregular pearls of two years development, also e crumpled peper.W SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY when we entered high school as freshmen we found ourselves embarking upon a strange and somewhat diffi- cult journey. To guide us upon this Jfurney ve had two very helpful advisors, namely, Miss Peck and Miss Kern. To them we fifty odd freshmen owe e reel vote of thenks for their guidance. ' To lend our class through that trying first year we selected tho following officers: Presidont-mw---- -Mildred Flint Vice-Pres.-M f--- N-Herschel Haines Secretary--H ---- nmFreda Fox Treasurer-M-we ---- Iris Sherman Student Council--eRuby Jebb Now that we are Sophomores the school has taken on a decidedly different aspect. Although we have the same class advisors many of our schoolmates have changed. The loss of Paul Cobb early in the year left a severe gap in our ranxsn Our present officers include: President--M-M--F-wGlennon Griswold Sec. and Trees.wuneHersohel Haines Student Counvilm---Lester Flynn Among the members of our class are some outstanding members of the various athletic teunsg these are Lester Tlynn, hersohel Haines, and Glennon5GrisWold. The school bend has been ipaproved wiin the p','oip1g1,iofiIgQerL5iQ Hooker, nnna Carnahan, Betty Jurphy, Sherrod,Cerson, Kerlo Perks, and Freda Fox. Others are also active in glee club and l drenetics. , 15 fielter llolstine, Glennon Griswold, end William Hodges have excelled in F.F.A. work. C22? WFlrst Ensign Welch and Chef Morgan were gathering nuts when a cry reached them of the discovered treasure. They rushed to the scene and examined the fourth compart- ment containing rudely-cut, unpcllshed, green emeralds and a withered paper containing the follow1ng:W ' FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY nThere we sat! Almost eighty green looking and half- scared pupils. We dared not make a move of any kind for fear we might do something wrong. If we dropped our pen- cils, they usually stayed where they were dropped. But now, the end of the school year is coming with high speed and we are beginning to know something of uH1gh School 1fe.' First came our initiation, and this was carried out in the traditional manner. This was as much or even more fun for the Freshmen as it was for the upper classmen, for we were beginning to get acquainted a little. We finally had to settle down to our studies though, which didn't agree with some of us. We met and elected the following for our officers: President --------- --Dick Rittenhouse Vice President -..... Margarie Frakes Secretary -.---.--..- Damon Griswold Treasurer ---- - ------ Pauline Webb Our class advisors were the following teachers: Miss Morgan, Mr. Welch, and Mr. Bunt. Robert Rundle was chosen by our advisors to represent the Freshman class on the Student Council. Twmkof our Freshmen seldom miss being on the honor roll, namely: Arlin Fentem and Damon Griswold. The Fresh- man class is co-operativeg they have held many successful parties during the year. Several of our members have tak- en interest in the basketball and baseball teams, glee clubs,-dramatics, and track. At the first of the year we cast envious glances at our upper classmen and knew we were being pitied. By now we have begun to feel at home when we come to the school- house and it doesn't bother us a bit to come into the study hall late, drop pencils, and pick them up, and be a little mischievous. We are looking forward to as much fun, besides hard work, as we have had this year. And are we looking forward to next year's initiation!! C255 P JUNIOR CLASS ROLL A 222 Eggs' T. booth: C.

The Island of Knowledge was situated in the midst of many small islands. Our good ship having been repaired by the crew, we decided to sail to these lesser bits of land. Our first dis- covery was itat of the Isle of Tunes, which proved to be a veritaile haven for Mr. Jewsbury and Miss Bryant.W GLEE CLUB Early in the fall of 1937 the girls' Glee Club was organized with thirty-one members chosen out of those reportrvg fur try-outs. From this group Miss Bryant chose the girls' Sextette: Marietta Fwahson, Betty Jane Murphy Margaret Denny, Barbara Mitchell, Mary Cuba, and Margie Hohner. This group represented the school at many community programs, school prog: ms, and the Sub- district contest. It was through the co-operaticn and efforts of the girls' Glee Club that Miss Bryant was able to produce the Operetta NChristmas.W This religious cantata, com- posed of pantomimes and carols taken from all countries, was very successful. On April Rb, 1938, the Glee Club, Barbara Mitchell, and George McMillan represented the school at the Dis- trict Contest in Springfield. Barbara won first place, George, third place, and the Glee Club made an excellent showing. l On March 25th, 1939, Barbara Mitchell and Margaret Hoyt won first places in medium and low voices respec- tively at the District Contest in Macomb. This entitles them to enter the State Contest at Urbana April 28th and 29th. The Boys, too, have a chorus this year. Their group is small but mighty and they sing lustily every Friday. This year a trio has been chosen by Miss Bryant com- posed of the following: Barbara Mitchell, first soprano, Mary Cuba, Second soprano, and Margaret Hoyt, Alto. These girls have very fine voices and will appear at the Commencement Exercises on May 26th, 1939. They will sing WCome Unto Men by Tschaikowsky, and a French Folk Song, WThe Three Little Princcsses.W 629i BAND A few years ago our band had plenty of room for improvement. The beginners either d1dn't have time to practice at home or were too negligent to practice. About two years ago a class was organized to teach them time and how to read notes. This created quite an interest and several of the ones thrt participated in this are now regular players in the high school band. This year there has been a regular period set aside for band practice each day and this has been a great advantage. This helps the players in that they have plenty of practice and time to learn new pieces. The beginners band meets three times a week. We are very proud to have in our band some members from the Grads School because they will help to make n bigger and better band in the future. The band has a few faithful alumni in it too. In the summer the band has a series of concerts which draw an excellent crowd. Everyone likes to hear good band music and we had the band that could play it. The band plays at all of the home basketball games, at Boy Scout Courts of Honor and various other pro- grams. When a person becomes eligible to play in the high school band that person should be complimented because he or she has accomplished something that is worthy of praise. But a band without anfinstructor isn't worth two cents because it is upon his shoulders that the work falls. Since we have a very outstanding in- structor we have a band that a school should bb proud of. W e owe it all to Mr. W ilbur Jewsbury, our conduct- or. Following is a list of the band members and the instruments they play: Cornets ----- -Gwendolyn Hunt, Lora Mae Runkle, Anna Carnahan, Frieda Fox, Virginia Hoyt, and Duane Coghill Clarinets ---- Billie Hoyt, Betty Jane Murphy, Phyllis Bryant, and Louis Flint Baritone-- Bass ------ Bass Drum- Snare Drum Saxaphone- Alto ------ Trombone-- Sherrod Carson - Merle Parks Jimmie Hunter Martha Jane McMillan, Lloyd Yetter, and James Foster.

The entire High School student body was eligible to try out for the various leads and parts in the choruses. After several weeks of practicing it was produced under the direction of Miss Dorothy Bryant.

When she returned she became very supercilious to her relatives and acted as if she owned the place. Rosalie, the her- oine, was mistreated by her aunt and cousins, Millie and Winnie. Mr. and Mrs. Gabble, the town characters, were enraged at this and determined to do something about it. Mrs. Gabble soon spread the gossip about the actions of the O'Briens and they became the ntalk of the town.N Uncle Bob, Mrs. O'Brien's brother, disguised as an old negro, found out the type of women his sister was since her visit to the city with all the money she wanted to spend. After a few weeks on the farm and considerable embarrassment, Mrs. O'Brien and her daughters were chas- tised and they learned to like the old home more than the city. 1517 -LagoreghDorieiSwitierf'B6nnie Ann Jeffereong Arlene K GLEE CLUB ROLL Top Rowi,UBenn1e-MyersjfBoyVWag1e3 Bob Bankey Ray Steele .qgggl'Kipllngg,Jr,y'Jimmy.Fosterg Bob-Garson: Herschel 3?1heP?e3il1i5'WeY1Q0QSKJOHH Quba?Q.

The boys have had plenty of fight and are fortunate enough to have all but two of the team coming back. The Basket Ball Lettermen are: Co-captain Lester Flynn. Lester is a steady and very fast player. He will be back next year. Co-captain Joe Huston. Joe, a very good defensive man, has great fighting ability. Co-captain Jack Huston. Jack, a very good player because of his height and scoring ability, was greatly needed by Colchester this year. He is coming back next year. Co-captain Marion Duncan. Marion is one of the fastest players Colchester has. Harold Rundle is a clever dribbler with much needed height. John Kessler is another good player who is an excellent ball handler and defensive player. Bob Hunt has a good eye for the basket and made quite a number of points. He will be. missed by the boys very much next year. Some of Bob's good qualities were his height and handling of the ball. Ben Myers was an outstanding player this year. He was an excellent ball handler and defensive player. His spec- iality was corner shots. Although his greatest difficulty was height, he made up for it by his fighting spirit. Wesley Wayland and Glen Long are two of the finest managers Colchester has ever had. These fellows keep the team in shape and are always the boys who take the blame if anything happens. They will be greatly needed the next year. Those receiving second team numerals are as follows: William Roberts, Wayne White, Travis Booth, Herschel Haines, John Adair, Dick Rittenhouse. The boys who received numeral Marne Selby, Kenneth Nelson, Gaylord Wayland, Blondell Shoop- man, Kenneth McCullough, and Joseph Whalen. These boys will made the future team for Colchester. css: PEP CLUB The Pep Club has been, for flourishing organizations of the to promote student attendance at and games. For the scholastic year of many years, one of the school. It was formed the athletic contests 1938-1959 the cheer- leaders elected by popular student vote were Margie Nooner and Roy Wagle. The credit for student enthusiasm must, of necessity, go to them, for a group of students must have excellent leaders. The officers of the Pep Club were: Barbara Mitche Presidentg Betty Jane Murphy, Vice-Presidentg Lorene Wil liams, Secretary and Treasurer. This year of student band the out-of-town engaged to Band-Director Ie are hoping that the vacancies left by graduating of the band, of Play course, were not to aid in the cheering section, a group members organized a German Band to go to Basketball Games, the entire band being at home games. Under the leadership of wsbury, the group has flourished and we next year others will be able to fill members. All members always able to play so there were always a few held in reserve. The German Band members were Cornets--Gwendolyn Hunt, Anna Carnahan, Lora Mae Runkleg Clarinets--Billie Hoyt, Betty Jane Murphy, Phyllis Bryantg Saxophone-- Barbara Mitchellg Bass--Merle Parks. It is general knowledge that it is the duty of the coach and managers to keep the teams physically fit and mentally alert but much of their enthusiasm would be lacking without the added moral support of fans and de- voted followers. There is something especially invig- orating about a well-trained cheering-section that can put fight into a tired team. It is toward this end that the Pep Club and the German Band have bent their combined efforts.

Due to an unfair business deal Mr. Grantham had been ruined and Hester and Donald had tried to avenge this wrong. y , . Miss Ruth Morgan, director of the production, deserves much oommendetion for her fine work.

COURA NT In looking back through old records and annuals of previous years, we find that the first newspaper was pub- lished in 1922 with Miss Ethel Johnson as advisor and Keith Bayless as editor. We also learn that the name of our newspaper was chosen by Miss Johnson. Since the first copy of the Courant was printed, it has been an important medium of student expression. This opportunity to express one's opinions is open to every student and is very useful to all who are interested in journalism or other types of literary activity. The Courant is also useful to the person who, in his senior year, finds himself on the annual staff, since it is a permanent record of the activities of the school, a record of our achievements and successes which we may enjoy reviewing. 'We feel that the Courant has proved its worth as a means of student expression in C.C.H.S. Following is the complete staff for the past year: Editor-in-chief ----- Robert R.

If Democracy is to survive, young people must assume the responsibilities of govern- ment at an early age. The members selected to represent the philosophy of student government constitute the so- called Student Council. Student Councils are as differ- ent as individuals in-as-much-as they represent the ex- pressions of the students. The accomplishments of a Student Council cannot be measured by the number of meetings they have or the money they raise. The accomplishments are measured in the degree of student participation in the activities of the school. In our own school, students have as- sumed the responsibilities of the library, school paper, the annual, and many other things too numerous to men- tion. 1958-1959 Student Council President ----- Mary Cuba ----- Junior Vice-Pres.-William Roberts--Junior Secretary, Treas.-Mary Ash--Senior Robert Rundle ------------- Freshman Lester Flynn ------------- Sophomore Robert Carson --------------- Senior Mr. Klingbeil--Faculty Representa- tive 1553 I YY '- ,Y Y T h-.1 ff' Tx is CQ if 3 I , I ef fe Q been under the capable instruction of miss Effland who a'tended the University of Wisconsin during the summer of 1958 to better prepare herself to do this work. Miss Effland selected three girls to help her in- struct the classes in the various activities. These assistants were Elizabeth DeGarmo, Reva McCullough, and Gwendolyn Hunt. This year the girls' gym class has been very active and has had regular sessions. There were three classes which met twice a week. One class, composed mostly of freshmen met 6th hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of the freshmen girls met on Tuesdays and Thurs- days Znd period with some unper olastmsn. In the afternoon, the sixth period, on Tursdays and Thursdays the remainder of the unter classmen met. - Miss Effland stressed good sportsmanship as well as good playing. -One of the chief puruoses of gym for girls is to de- velop the body as well as the mind. This is done through participating in the various games and activities. LOne phase which the girls enjoyed very much mas tumbling. They presented a tumbling act at the Junior Class Benefit Show. Archery was put into our school three years ago but has never been taught very extensively until this year. l The School has furnished the girls with new games and equipment. One game is badminton and it has become very popular, Miss Efflund conducted a tournament outside of class time for the girls and one for the boys. The win- ner of the girls' tournament was the couple composed of Betty Wayland end Ina Porter. Two other games which were new this year were shuffleboard and deck tennis and they have been greatly enjoyed. To close the year Miss Efflnnd taught the girls folk dancing which develops grace end a sense of musical rhythm. X, e nie The girls' gym class of Cclchester High School has A gee ' 4511! FFA. During this school year of l958-39, the Colchester Chapter of F.F.A. has completed a number of projects which are worthy of mention. Following are the officers of the club this year: President ----- Glennon Griswold Vice-pres. ---- Jack Huston Secretary ----- Walter Holstine Treasurer- ---- Billie Hoyt Reporter ------ Damon Griswold Advisor ------- Don R. Bunt The F.F.A. is one of the active organizations in C.C.H.S. and is under the direction of Mr. Bunt, the Agriculture Instructor. One of the first accomplish- ments of the F.F.A. was to renovate the Agriculture room. They purchased a radio, a large 5x6 ft. F.F.A. banner to be used with exhibits, an American flag, and one hundred emblem stickers for advertising purposes. Many good books were purchased and now the chapter has a library of thirty to forty volumes concerning late developments in the field of Agriculture. The chapter also bought some stationery with letterheads and one hundred envelopes. The F.F.A. Chapter sponsored a corn-husking con- test last fall and the winner, Glennon Griswold, repres- ented our school at the sectional contest, where he ranked third. Our school was also represented at the Sectional Grain Judging and Weed Seed Identification Contest held at Dallas City. Our boys won several honors in both individual and team ribbons. Both at the W.A.A.C. Grain Judging and Livestock Judging Contests, the Colchester Chapter won highest honors. Our boys won the three highest individual a- wards. - More recently the members have sponsored a sale of garden seeds. To date they have sold one hundred boxes, the commission from which will place approximately twenty-three dollars in the Treasury. Our F.F.A. Chapter was represented at the Section- al Public Speaking Contest by Walter Holstine, who spoke on the subject, NThe Three L's of Successful Ag- riculture.W 1553 STUDENT 'COUNCIL r-Robert Rundleg Robert Carsong William Robertsg e ter rlynn.

It is sworn to on this tenth day of May that these last few requests shall and must be kept in order to have the passing ones in a pleasant state of mind. Any failures on the sharers of the estates part to fulfill their duties will be known by the deceased and their spirits will trod again C.C.H.S. corridors. We, the party of the first part, will to you, the party of the second part, the following: Mary Ash wills her seat, which is the last one in Row l, to Luan Robeson and the year following to Betty Jane Murphy. She believes that there is enough Wwads' of gum to last through two years. Bob Banks wills his way with the ladies, especi- ally the Red Heads, to Jack Huston. It seems as if Jack needs to take lessons as he can never keep with one woman. Iona Blair will her 5 days at school to Margie Wilson. She feels that if Margie just had to go to school a half day she would not have to spend so much time trying to think up excuses to get out of school. Phyllis Bryant wills her job as office girl to Lorena Williams so Mr. Klingbeil will not have to get used to another color of hair. It is hard on his eyes. Bob Carson leaves his ability to boss the girls to Joe Huston as he thinks that Mildred has too much power over him. Virgil Beal leaves his girl CFrances Branch! to s omeone who has a car. He says he doesn't see how Frances could walk that half block to school next year. Reva Copelan leaves her seat in the assembly to mu anyone who wants it. She has worn off all of the varnish but it is still a good seat. Mable Greasy leaves her Nshynessn to Georgia Wag- le. A hint to the wise is sufficient, Georgia. Clarence Day wants John Kessler to be sure to fur- nish the office loafcrs with peanuts during the noon 1617 ' st hourg better buy them wholesale, John, buying in small lots almost broke up poor Clarence. Elizabeth DeGarmo leaves her blouse to Luan Robe- son. There isn't much leftg it having been used so much Cecil Kipling used it for scratch paper and emergency ink blotters. Helen Fentem leaves her old boy friend, William Cuba, to some freshman girl because she figures he'll still be here when they graduate. Madelyn Haines wills her NJimmie Boy' to just any- one who will have him. It seems that she could not han- dle him. Loretta Hooker leaves her ability to wget her mann to Mary Cuba. Come up and see her sometime and she will be glad to give you a few lessons. Norma Lee Hooker leaves her scheme of getting gum and candy from all the shy boys to Dollie Martin, prov- iding Dollie sends her half of the proceeds. Margaret Hoyt leaves her many boy friends Cand yet not a boy friend! to Janet Moon. At least it won't be monotonous. Gwendolyn Hunt leaves all her junk to the treas- urer of the next Senior Class. If you can figure it all out you'll have something there. John Robert Hunt leaves his ability to split up with a girl and still attract her attention to Lyman Robeson. He figures he was once in the same place Lyman is. Ferris Icenogle leaves her loose tongue to Betty Wilson. You have to talk to get things done around here. Cecil Kipling leaves his big feet and dimples to Carol Gunning. Don't fall down over them Carolg they're so big you'll have to watch your step. Eleanor Koniecka leaves her little curls and small voice to Shirley Bodenhamer--not so loud, please. Elsie Lagore leaves her gym suit to Dorothy and Margaret Beck. She thinks they both can wear it and have enough left for quilt patches. Irene Logan leaves two tickets to her nOld Maid's Homen with her brother, Wayne, just in case Lorena Williams and Josephine Hodges decide to be women with- out men. Kerman Martin leaves his two straight History class es to Gerald Campbell. He just knows Gerald will be crazy about History. Especially the Wwe will go on from there tomorrow!n Barbara Mitchell leaves her singing ability to Arlene Richards. It will take a lot of practice but just think how handy it will be to sing the children 1621 to sleep. Benny Myers leaves all the eggs he has left to Wayne White. If Martha doesn't behave you know what to do. Reva McCullough leaves her tiny feet to Ellen Marlow. She hopes Ellen doesn't have to suffer be- cause of the binding on her feet like she did. Doris Parks leaves her brother and sister to what- ever C.C.H.S. will do with them in the future. Irvin Pogue leaves Abbot's Dance Hall fond mem- ories of his tired dogs. Lora Mae Runkle leaves her diary to anyone who thinks they can get it. Do I understand it contains things that might be blackmail--or fwhite male!! Kenith Sewers leaves his feud with Miss Morgan to be carried on by Travis Booth. Be sure that when she kicks you out it's in a play and not the poster- ior section of the body. Doris Switzer leaves her adorable quietness to the girls of the Junior class lmost of them could certainly use a little of it.J Roy Wagle leaves his UI don't give a hootn to the boys of the Senior Class play next year. Be careful you don't use it too much because Miss Morgan doesn't like it.

Inspector: 'Well Cecil I sec you?ve started growing .the other way.n Cecil: nYep, I weigh 250 pounds. If I keep on I'll get big as Klingbeil used to be.H Inspector: H1 see you have an office girl now. Why, I know her, it's Bova McCullough. Well, that means I won't have messy books to check.n Class bell range, students go to class and Irvin starts t o WInspect'. The first class is in R oom two, Agriculture under D.R. Bunt. He is speaking on Lime, Legumes. and Livestock. UAS a proof of the efficacy of this plan I have only to point to the following farms in this vicinity, The, Benny Myers' place, the Kalith Sewers' place, and The Bob Hunt place. You might be interested in kmewirg, Mr, Pogue, that Bob Hunt used the USL plann on Lora Mae and snagged her Only in this case, the 5L's stood for Love, Late hours, and Lolly-gaggin'.N Inspector: UThere is a good book on that subject by Kerman Martin, that you might have for your library.U C647 The inspector now visits the commercial room and finds there Eleanor Koniecka teaching, only it is now Eleanor Wagle, which is easier to spell, anyway. Her husband, garrulous Roy, is now a politician of the old school. Inspector: nWhat is this shorthand system?' Eleanor: WThat is the Logan-Ash system, all curves and no straight lines.W As the inspector leaves the Bkpg. room he sees a group in the Library listening to part of a short course in Library Work by Phyllis Bryant. The subject of her discussion was How to Silently and Tactfully Bounce a Senior from the Library. Passing through the Study Hall the inspector remarks WYou must have a very efficient Janitor, now.N Principal: NYes, Do you remember Elizabeth De Garmo? Her husband Clifford Rings is now the school engineer, and handyman.N Reaching the History room the inspector finds Gwen Hunt discussing the downfall of Hitler with much vim, 'n vinegar. . Listed on the Board as references are the following books. WThe Use of Propaganda in the School, 'by Dr. Ferris Icenogle. WA Girl's Adventure in Europe, 'by Norma Lee Hooker. By this time it is noon so the inspector goes up town for lunch, Stopping at an imposing sign. M.Haines MaidpRite- Queen, he enters and is accosted by Iona Blair who takes his order with neatness and dispatch. In the kitchen he sees Helen Fentem and Reva Copelan smiling at him over spotless stoves and kitchenware, After a sumptuous repast, during which he was enter- tained by Barbara Beck Mitchell Morehouse, who by the way now has a Wfull house', singing an WAva Marian. He returns X to school and finds Loretta Hooker Jones giving a ballet program in the Study Hall, Following her act Doris Parks, county nurse, gives a talk and demonstration on 'How to throw off the Common Cold,V. The program was closed by Professor Kipling singing, WLove Lifted Men, accompanied by his wife, the former Doris Switzer. When called upon to say a few words, Inspector Pogue responds with the following, UI have enjoyed meeting old friends and being in my old school again. Frankly, though, it is an efficient school it will never equal the old C.C.H.S. of 38-59.n ' CGS? X Sept .Q Oct. Nov. Dec. 9 Q 9 a 0 U 1 0 O I U O SCHOOL CALENDAR School begins in small doses.
