GRAYVILLE GUSHER of 1940 Published By THE GUSHER STAFF and THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 of GRAYVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Grayville, Illinois TO GRAYVILLE HIGH SCHOOL 1 am a Freshman: This High School life is certainly the berries! Ah; life is just one great big bowl of cherries. I am a Sophomore: Aren’t Freshmen quite the dumbest creatures ever? I’m sure I didn’t act that way—No, never! I am a Junior: I’ll certainly be glad when this is over, No school—surely life will be a field of clover. lama Senior: Good Luck to all you Seniors who come after; May you bear your four years labor with a grin; For mixed with labor there is always laughter; And may you be as happy here as I have been. FOREWORD We, the graduating class of ’40, wish to present this first volume of THE GUSHER, in which are preserved the achievements of our school life, to our teachers and parents who have prepared us to meet life’s great battles. The name, THE GUSHER, was suggested by Frances and Robert Aker, and Ardis Green. Charles feel CflLCUDflR Doris Weaves Joke md pxm Vovothu Vale 3 ustucff Deity Madden HDVCKTISIM6 Deity Smith.

This fright vanished when classes began. The class started on the road to success by electing Doris Reeves, president; Charles Leet, vice-president; Nan Johnson, secretary; Eugene Bovinet, treasurer; and Miss Kershaw, sponsor. Due to our good fortune wre escaped initiation. The second year the class felt a great shock—a loss of nine students! But in their place we gained two very able people, Juanita Scamahorn and Lloyd Bryant. For officers we chose Charles Leet, president; Alice Bradshaw, vice president; Dorothy Skiles, secretary and treasurer; and Mrs. Couts, sponsor. At the end of the year, we Sophomores enjoyed a trip to Mesker Park, Evansville, Indiana, ending the day at the movies. As Juniors, a year of work began with twenty members. Dorothy Tate joined our group. For officers we had Charles Leet, president; Doris Reeves, vice-president; Helen Robinson, secretary; Kenneth Simmons, treasurer; and Mrs. Walsh, sponsor. By giving the play “Aunt Tilly Goes to Town”, presenting Marvello, the magician, and selling candy, we made enough money to give the banquet and the prom. As Seniors we gained one member. Old ones left and new ones came. Evelyn Flowers and Nolan Atteberry were new members. Ivan Dodson was with us the first part of the year but moved to Centralia, 111. We chose as class officers Gene Bovinet, president; Cecil Cooper, vice president; Alice Bradshaw, secretary and treasurer. The banquet, prom, the baccalaureate service, class day, and commencement will mark the end of our years at G. H. S. The four years that we thought would seem so long passed quickly. As we go our many ways we will always remember our school days as the happiest days of our lives. Nan Johnson After a long talk on the value of peace, goodwill and disarmament, Mrs. Walsh, the history teacher, asked the class if they objected to war! “Yes, I do!” said James Payne. “Good. Now tell us why.” “Because,” said James, “wars make history, and I hate history.” CLASS PROPHECY Akron, Ohio April 20, 1955 Dear Helen: I have just returned from a short trip to our old camping ground, Grayville, where we graduated about fifteen years ago. They really have a very beautiful school now. They have made so many modern improvements in the school building. These improvements had just been started when we left school. I just happened to run into some of the old classmate ? while I was there. I saw Lloyd Bryant. You remember him, don’t you? He has one of the largest and most modern farms in that part of the state. He is consulted by all the farmers about their crops and other agricultural problems. I asked him about some of the other members of our class. He said Margaret Nelson has married a very nice young doctor whose name I can’t remember. Margaret is head nurse in the hospital in which he works. He also told me that Dorcas Jordan, the little girl with the sunny smile, has left for Chicago where she is to take a position as hostess in one of the large hotels there. I met Beatrice Banks, or that is the name by which we knew her. She is with her husband in the picture business and they are really making a success of it. They have an ultra-modern studio in Grayville. She told me that Nolan Atteberry is now coach of Grayville High School. He seems to be doing very well because the basketball team is going to the State Tourney this year. Oh, yes, she also told me that Cecil Cooper has just opened one of the swankiest Night Clubs in the Tri-State. He also has his own orchestra and it is considered one of the best. I went io dinner there one night and met him. He told me that Vera Bender has an up-to-date Beauty Salon in Mt. Carmel, and is doing very well. On my way to Grayville I met Edna Wray in a Tourist Camp. It was just luck we met, but we had a nice visit. She is a very successful stylist in Hollywood now. She told me that Alice Bradshaw is one of the leading State Senators at this time. She is a Republican, too, you can bet. On the plane I sat across from a familiar looking woman but I couldn’t get up the nerve to ask her who she was. Finally she came over to me and asked me if I wasn’t Juanita Scamahorn. I said that I was and she told me she was Mrs. Verneda Ward. She is traveling all over the country with her husband who is working for a large oil company. She enjoys herself immensely as she has a large collection of pictures she has) taken in all parts of the country. How are things in France? Are you still in the beauty business or have you retired? I wish you all the success in the world. I am getting along just fine with my job as secretary. Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that my employer died a few months ago and left me a considerable amount of money. I am going to spend a few years traveling abroad. Your loving classmate, Juanita Scamahorn CLASS PROPHECY Paris, France May 22, 1955 Dear Juanita: It was so nice to hear from you and of our old classmates of ’40. As you didn’t mention all of them, I took it for granted that you didn’t know about them so I shall tell you what I know. Virginia Fly became a medical missionary. Recently she went to South Africa; as she has not returned, it is thought that she was eaten by cannibals. Charles Leet is in China as an interpreter for the American Ambassador. Nothing is ever accomplished at the meetings because none of the members can understand Charles. Eddie Hughes has a band at the Black Hat in Hollywood. His slogan is, “Weai out your shoes with Eddie Hughes.” He is noted for his discovery of the famous singer Dodo Skiles. It is rumored that Dodo will soon join the Metropolitan Opera Company. Mrs. Eugene Tate, formerly Dorothy Bovinet, is private secretary to her husband as she won’t trust anybody else. Her husband is a big business man in Miami, Florida. This year Sherrill Kieth, their son, will graduate from high school. Nan Johnson is living on a ranch in Texas with her husband, a cowboy, and her six children. She has three boys and three girls. Sam Houston has an amateur program over N. B. C. His program is similar to the one formerly known as Major Bowe’s Amateur Hour. Evelyn Flowers is married to a sailor and, like Olive Oyl, she worries about her Popeye all the time. She is now living in Hawaii. Kenneth Simmons is a very famous baseball player. He has recently gone on a sit-down strike for more money. The latest report is that he is still on the strike. Doris Reeves broadcasts over the radio; she is known as the “Singing Lady”. Her job is to tell bed time stories to the “kiddies” every night at 8:00. Listen to her sometime; she’s very good. Eugene Bovinet is in Los Angeles, California. He owns several race horses but as yet has never had success in winning a race. Gene never gives up hope, however, and is always in there rooting for the horses. I see my time is becoming very short before I open my Beauty Salon; and so, with much sorrow, I close, hoping to hear from you again soon and wishing you all the success in life. Yours, Helen Robinson Mrs. Couts was explaining the difference between the stately rose and the modest violet. “A rose,” she began, “is like a beautiful, richly gowned woman so proud she doesn’t speak to anyone. But behind her is a small creature with bowed head—” “Yes,” interrupted “Chaw” Fleming, “That’s her husband.” LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That we, the Senior Class of the City of Grayville, County of White, and State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory do ordain, establish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament and revoking all other Wills by us heretofore made: Charles Leet wills his place in the Projection Booth to Bobby Stinson.

Camas PRAYER God, let sweet sleep come unto me, And let my mind and soul be free; Let my body be at rest; I wish to be by Heaven blessed. Let me forget this day of sorrow, And let me think of sweet tomorrow; Let me sink into some sweet slumbers That I may reduce my numerous blunders. Let me dream of some kind way To help those many in dismay. Let me help those who have met Some unkind thing they can’t forget, And let me help those many wretches Whose souls are in uncounted caches. Let me help those many people, Who have not yet found their equal. Let me, finally, someday see Those many millions happy be Like me, with all my peace and sorrows Waiting for those Bright Tomorrows.

EIGHTH GRADE SEVENTH GRADE BASKETBALL Oct. 27, 1939—Grayville traveled to Ridgway to open the ’39-’40 Basketball Season. Fighting hard all the way we brought home a 27-24 victory. Nov. 1, 1939—We added another victory to our first one by defeating Browns to the tune of 21-14. It was our first home game of the season. Between the first and second team games, Betty Smith was crowned Basketball Queen for ’39-’40. Nov. 10, 1939—Grayville went to Noble to try to make it three in a row, but was a sadly disappointed bunch when we returned. We were defeated 34-17. Nov. 14, 1939—We played on our home floor for the second time this season. We were the victims of the St. Francisville five, who beat us 46-27. Nov. 21, 1939—Our boys were again defeated at Wayne City. Although we played a good game we lost 24-15. Nov. 29, 1939—Grayville went down in defeat against the strong Norris City team. Norris City led all the way and won 30-19. Although we played hard ball we were unable to compete with them. Dec. 1, 1939—We played at Albion against as strong a team as we faced all year. They were hitting the basket for 61 points while we were gathering a measley 12. Dec. 8, 1939—Carmi prolonged our losing streak by beating us 33-19 on our home floor. This losing seems to be a habit. Dec. 9, 1939—Grayville traveled to Evansville to play the Bosse High School Reserves. We went without the service of one of the first team, Gene Bovinet, and although Bob Stinson filled his shoes very well we lost 32-25. Dec. 15, 1939—We went to St. Francisville to face the strong Saint five again. Although we played a hard and fast game we couldn’t match them and were beaten 43-32. Dec. 15, 1939—We finally broke our eight game losing streak by defeating Crossville 23-21. Crossville was as disappointed as we were happy for it was fast and rough, and one of those “anybody’s ball game.” Dec. 21, 1939—Grayville was again victorious, this time defeating the fast Noble team. We outplayed them all the way and won 25-15. Dec. 26, 1939—The High School team was defeated by the Alumni 25-23 in a close and fast game. The High School five played without the services of Hughes and Atteberry and did not have capable substitutes to match the Alumni. Pat Berns also substituted as Coach for Coach Stuckey who was out of town. BASKETBALL Jan. 5, 1940—Wayne City came to town and when they left the home team had suffered another defeat 49-25. Jan. 10, 1940—When the Bosse High Reserves of Evansville came across the river to play us two regulars were seated on the bench. We grabbed the lead but were unable to hold it and finally lost 39-25. Jan. 12, 1940—We again got back on the victorious side by defeating Griffin 25-28 on their own floor. It was a close game but the outcome was unquestionable. Jan. 19, 1940—The strong Albion team which beat us so badly on their home floor was very surprised when in the first quarter we began to run off with them. Their heighth finally overcame our lead in the fourth quarter and they won 34-24. Jan. 24-25-26, 1940—We drew Carmi in the White County Tourney which was held at Carmi. After much discussion as to whether or not the first team would play, it was finally decided they could but by then they were so upset they couldn’t play their best ball. We were defeated 39-14. Feb. 2, 1940—Crossville made for the beating they took from us early in the season by defeating us 55-28 on their own floor. We weren’t in condition to stay with their fast breaking game. Feb. 6, 1940—Grayville won from Bt. Prairie 21-18 on our own floor. The lead changed hands nearly every quarter and was tied at the end of the third quarter. By hard play we managed to come out on top. Feb. 9, 1940—We were once again on the tail end of a large score when Norris City defeated us 50-13. We played a fast game but were unable to hit the basket. Feb. 16, 1940—New Harmony took us in a fast game on our own floor. They grabbed an early lead which they held throughout the game and finally won 46-24. We suffered the loss of Captain Simmons who was on the bench because of a leg injury. Feb. 22, 1940—As we won our first game we also won our last by defeating Griffin 23-21 on our own floor. We led all the way. March 1, 1940—We were placed against Albion in the Regional Tourney at Mt. Carmel. Still suffering from injuries we lost 60-10. B. B. 3cam and Coronation. of Quaotl. palmer Stanlaa manager Paul Citorqe Vincent Jack Blood 'Harold SfaLjarf SUaurice Sullivan. Cjena Smith- f BOYS’ PHYSICIAL EDUCATION The Boys’ Physical Eduaction class was organized in September with Mr. Stuckey as instructor. According to the State Law the Freshmen and Sophomores are required to take P. E., while it was elective for Juniors and Seniors. At the beginning of the year the class played basketball and boxed. At the close of the basketball season Coach Stuckey organized a tumbling class. It was found that among many of the members there probably would be several who in later schooling and college classes may become experienced tumblers. The class started with the forward and backward roll, then the headstand, monkeyroll, and finally, the complete flip in the air. Classes were held each Wednesday. Charles: Betty Maddex said she dreamed one night that she was dancing with you. Ed: How you thrilllllll me Charles! Charles: Well, not exactly. The dream awakened her and she found Sister Mary SITTING on her feet. GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION This year for the first time in the history of G. H. S. we have had a Girl’s Physical Education class. Since this is the first year it is not compulsory for Juniors and Seniors to take it but it is for the Freshmen and Sophomores. There are forty-three girls in the class, which meets the eighth period each Monday. They have a choice of playing shuffle board, ping pong, volley ball, soft ball and basketball. The class is progressing well under the reliable coaching of Miss Pauline House, and for their final meeting will hike to the country for a picnic. Young caller at the Skiles home (obviously nervous): Well, Mr. Skiles, Spring has come. Mr. Skiles: Yes, I always know when it’s Spring without consulting a calendar. Y. C.: Really, how? Mr. Skiles: Well in Spring, the saps start running around our house. TRACK Grayville cinder lovers and would-be weight men turned out to make their early bid for the Track team. Although we were left with a few spots that couldn’t be filled, Coach Pat Berns expects a fair team which will improve with every meet. We lost the first meet with Carmi but many boys showed unexpected promise of hidden ability. We hope to repeat this year and send at least one boy to the State. First Row: James Payne (Manager), Bob Livingston, Charles Leet, Eddie Hughes, Kenneth Simmons, Eugene Bovinet, Paul Vincent.

GRADE SCHOOL BASKETBALL Coached by Ed Simmons, the Grade School team had a very successful season. They were runner-up to the strong Carmi team in the White County Tournament, and also took fourth place in the Bellmont Tourney. They placed four men on the All-county team, D. Johnson, Clark, Bradshaw. During the season they won twelve games and lost twelve. With the help of our Grade team we may have a better High School Team in the future.

A news photographer shows up to take shots of the “Champ”, and Mrs. Abbott thinks he intends to photograph the brides to be. Hold everything—there’s a mix-up! The wedding goes off nicely and Jackie returns from College for the holidays, falls in love with her pal—and all ends happily.

Larry’s father wants him to run for Mayor, and also wants him to marry Dressa. Mary makes a bargain with Larry’s father to send Larry away and let her handle his campaign. If she wins the election she also wins Larry but if she loses she is to give up all claim to him. Larry’s father agrees to the plan and Larry is sent away. Larry doesn’t think Mary can win the election by herself so he returns in disguise to help her. Dressa gets things all mixed up and nearly loses the election for Larry. In the last act Dressa asks forgiveness for all of her wrong doings, Mary wins the election and also Larry, and everything ends happily.

GIRLS' CHORUS BOYS' CHORUS JOKES We wonder what would happen if : 1. Jack Blood wasn’t told by Miss House to “Please turn around in your seat.” P.S. It happens at least twice a day. 2. Denny Johnson was not giving the villains laugh. 3. Wallace Given was not tormenting Miss House. 4. Carolyn Pritchett was not chewing gum. 5. Anyone saw “Dump” Frankland going anywhere except to see his lovely “Flowers.” 6. Margie Gross started making comments. 7. James Payne remained quiet for five minutes. 8. Phyllis Skiles refused to dance. 9. Harold Rogers was without his double-talk. 10. Betty Smith was seen without a smile. 11. Ethel Wray was seen NGT combing her hair. 12. V.

Patterson: Did you know the war was over in Europe? E. Edwards: No. V. Patterson: It is because it’s not over here. V. Williams: When I sing, I get tears in my eyes. What can I do to stop that? Miss Cockrun: Try stuffing cotton in your ears. What makes the girl’s hearts go flip-flop over Jerry Briswalter? I guess it’s his high blond pressure. Expressions like “Moderne” and “Shoppe” Cause me to squirm and to hoppe; For some day our lives will be cursed on night drives By signs flashing “Goe and “Stoppe . Miss House: That is the third time youv’e looked on Helen’s paper. Alice: Yes. she doesn’t write very plainly. Betty S.: Did I not see you take a tramp through the woods yesterday?

What’s this sighing about, I thought you were off men? Was I? But it’s never too late to yearn. What kind of a sandwich is that? A honeymoon sandwich. (Hungrily) Honeymoon sandwich? Miss House: “Some of you Freshmen are so dumb that if you should walk up the side walk and see the number 624 on a house you would say, My what a large family’!” Mr. Jarboe: So you want to marry my daughter? How much do you make? Eddie: “I don’t even touch the stuff.” Miss Gleason: Margie, what is the best conductor of electricity? Margie Bender: Why er-er. Miss Gleason: Correct.

SCHOOL BAND ORCHESTRA MOVIES For the past two years we have devoted a period to moving pictures every two or three weeks, usually on Friday afternoon. The school owns its movie projector and loud speaking system. These are operated by certain members of the student body. Last year the pictures consisted mostly of educational shorts ranging from soil conservation to the making of clothes. This year in addition to the educational subjects we have had many comedies. These movies are very interesting and are greatly enjoyed by both North and South Side students. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Near the end of March, a committee, with Mr. Hance as the presiding officer, decided that every two weeks one of the high school classes would present an assembly program for the other students. The Seniors started by giving a Major Bowe’s Amateur Hour. Two weeks later the Juniors also presented a radio program, Kay Kyser’s College of Musical Knowledge. The Sophomores decided to change the theme of the programs and gave a one act play, “The Villian Still Pursued Her. The Freshmen, in their program, gave scenes representing the four sections of the United States, North, South, East, and West. These programs have not only entertained the students but have also given them experience in arranging and presenting programs. IDEAL GIRL Hair ................................

In 1936 Mrs. Helen Couts became Sponsor and under her leadership the Pep Club has constantly grown. This year the club had a total of 63 members. The officers are Frances Hanle, President; Doris Reeves, Vice President; Nan Johnson, Secretary and Treasurer. The Pep Club sold candy at school and also sold candy, hot dogs, and cold drinks at the Basketball games. They used the money to help pay for various things bought by the Athletic Department. The purpose of this club is to stir up enthusiasm among the students tor school activities especially in basketball which is our main sport.
