'It was not long before the Navy had christenedsus into our quarters for the next four years and it was not long before we had become accustomed to our new experience. 'H' Coach Cooper was our constant guide and able leader throughout the yeart Our 'other officers were: Pat King ----- -President Don Woods ---- Vice President Edwin Smith---SecPGUGPy ' ,On entering the course for the second year we found we had lost two members and were now only thirty- nine. The first instructions we were given this year were to welcome the Freshman Army with an initiation, ' We had many successful parties this year, one of which was an all-school party, sponsored by our- selves. ' J Mr. Cooper deserves the credit for most of our success in these great expansions. ' Our Officers this year were! Dewey Hall--e-President Bob Biswelle--Vice President Jim Hodges---Secretary 1 Army ' , At the beginning of our 1942-45 school year, fifty-five khaki clad Army men were seen marching into the camp of studies. The first few days they p were given-some training, but after a few weeks of K. P. duty they were well equipped for combat service. Their iniation was a laughable subject when they dressed in their G. I. uniforms. Such a clashing of l the greens! ' For the first year the Army picked these Officers! Bebe Ann Zimmerman---President Jack Dorethy---Vice President Shirley Ludlum ---- Secretary Richard Harding---Treasurer Mr. Bunt is our Commanding officer and has proved to be a great help in our first year at camp.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BASKETBALL SEASON D 'The 1942-45-basketball season was one of the most successful in recent years of the Colchester Community High School.' During the season, the team won the- County Tournament, placed second in the LaMo1ne Valley Conference, second in the McDonough County conference, and won second place in the regional tournament at Rose- villea Altogether the season ended with 20 games won and 4 lost. ' , Colchester established itself as having the makings of a strong team by losing the first game of the season EQ to 27 to Macomb High. This loss was later avenged by a 35 to 29 win on the Macomb floor. The season was further high lighted by four w1ns'from our neighbor rivals, the Academy. The climax of the season came when Coach Cooper's artists came through to defeat Prairie City 24 to 27 in the finals of the county tournament played before thousands of fans on the large Western floor at Macomb. This year's team had the ability to come through and win close games, and both they and Coach Cooper are to be congratulated on their fine season, The whole first team plus three others on the squad are Seniors and will be missed another year. Co-Captain Bob Hear-The most consistent player on the- team-steady, cool and a gr nd rebounder. Co-Captain Hall Dillon-A Dead eye Dick on long shots Clark Griswo1d--- Jr. Zimmerman ---- Joe Cooper------- Harold Nelson------- Joe Hoyt ------- -- Jere Hulson- -------- Bob Biswell --------- Franklin Garrison ..-- nun- and a stabilizing influence on offen- sive floor plays. The south paw who really came throught His aggressive play won several close games.' Bangy and capable. His height was a determining factor in several games. Fast and scintlllatlngg a good eye for free throws that won many a game. Another south paw that played for- ward, center, and guard during the year, Harold was a good ball handler and has a good eye for the basket. Dark and handsome and a capable reserve. Another senior member of the squad with size and desire to play. A sophomore with height and future promise. WFranku played in several games this year as a Freshman: is tall and ag- gressive and has lots of possibil- ities. Jr. Booth- -----------Needs experience and de termination, but could be a great ball player, George McCullough ---- Another sophomore that may come through. Has plenty of height. Everett Beal--M--Q---Unnssuming and enpnble. Has two years yet. Dee Kipling --N- -----If and when they grow up they'l1 be hard to hold on a basketball floor.

There wasn't any County Conference so we just had games for the fun of it. 5 ' 3 A The members of the team and their positions are as follows: Hall Dillon ---- Catcher and Left Field Joe Cooper ---- Pitcher and Catcher Harold Nelson ---- First Base Dee Kipling and Dewey Hall---Second Base Franklin Garrison----Third Base Duane Beck---Shortstop T Joe Hoyt----Right Fielder and Third Base Clark Griswold----Center Field Paul Parkins----Left Fielder and Pitcher Coach Cooper guided them and gave forth with the plans of attack, and many practice maneuvers put them in shape to stand up before the onrushin: tide of enemies. All thc players will be back for the Spring season. t Hall D1llon's steady hlttina and important position behind the bat will be hard to fill. But it is a hole which must be filled effectively for the team. - Joe Cooper, the whiz right handerfof Chester High, will try to control his life as he does his pitched ball. See that wide last one, oops, sorry! cut the middle of the plate. Hey Coach, Need another pitcher and how about another hitter? Harold Nelson the southpaw first baseman will venture to go through the troubles of life, with the battinc averaxe and eye to aid him. Joe Hoyt the rieht fielder with an eye for long diii?nce hittlnm will eye distant goals with equal S 0 Clark Griswold the center fielder of the team a southpaw and a goodhhitter. These five players will be sorely missed in the coming year but I am sure,the1r positions can be filled by able and competent players coming up from the ranks. They are lobking forward to a very successful spring season, GQAU Ao In 1940-41 the Girls Athletic Association was first organized. It is n state organization.

Miss Hall has aided greatly in the success of the Glee Club this year by her excellent accompaniment. Our director, Mrs. Mace, and the whole school are proud of the Glce Club and its activities. BAND The band is probably the school's most active organization. It has a present membership of about thirty-five. It played'for all the Home Basket- ball games during 1941-42, and for a few this year. Every summer it gives concerts in the city park. In March it gave a concert at the High School. .

During 1941-42 the school was well repre- sented at the District Contest by the band and several soloists.- Jere Hulson, playing the trumpet, and Patsy Hulson, the baritone, won first place, while the baud was third. Jere and Patsy were then entitled to enter the Regional contest where they both won second place. . The Band Boosters' Club is also very active. It has meetings and parties once every month. To the members of this organisation credit for the band uniforms and several horns should bc given. . ' 1 Mr. Jewsbury, our director, should be con- gratulated for the fine work he has done with the High School band.

PEP' GLUE .Formed to promote student attendnncsawt,the ' basketball games, the pep club has for many years, been one of the school s most flourishing organ- izations. ' At the beginning of the year 1942-45 the student body chose three instead of the usual two cheerleaders The ones chosen were: Joanna Messmere, Betty Zimm- erman, and Luan Carnahan, Their outfits consist of white pleated skirts and tights with purple and gold sweaters, The sweaters were bought by the athletic department. The Pep Club chose for its officers: P President----Betty Zimmerman Vice-President-Joanna Messmore Sec-Treasurer-Elva Cuba The organazation conducted meetings at which new yells and motions were tried out. Also the members ordered long sleeved sweaters with Golcherster and an Indian headj the symbol of the school, in purple on the front. The Pep Club attended out of town as well as home games. The main success of our year for the '43 members was helping get a crowd out for the prairie City game. F.F.A.
