Maroon and Black 1937 Dedication The Staff of the MAROON and BLACK feel certain that it is the wish of the whole school as a unit that this book should show in some small measure their deep appreciation and admiration for a man who completed a long and honorable career a short time past- It is for this purpose and in recognition of the fact that that career was terminated in our High School that we re- spectfully dedicate this book to former Principal Charles McMullen.

COMMENCEMENT DAY To the graduating class this day will always be one of pleasant memory—the day of high school days—since it marks “Commencement Day,” the day of graduation each senior has look- ed forward to and worked for through his high school years. “Commencement Day” has a dual significance to these young men and women since it marks the ending of their high school academic life and the beginning or commencement of the more mature future life of each of them. Some to higher fields of academic education—others to take up their place in the world of affairs and “Life’s school.” Maroon and Black sincerely wish for each graduate successful pursuit of his future endeav- ors and that each may find a full life of enjoy- able service and the reward of satisfaction in accomplishment worth while and of credit to them personally as well as to the training their high school has given them. President Fairchild of Illinois State Normal addressed the Senior Class of Chillicothe Town- ship High School on the occasion of its Com- mencement Day exercises on May 27, 1937. A truly significant farewell address to the graduating Senior Class was the Baccalaureate sermon by Father M. J. Spalding, at appropri- ate services held Sunday.

Most all of the students looked forward to the freshman party, given by the sophomores for the purpose of initiating them, as the main event of the year. During the end of the year we gave a return party for the sopho- mores and invited the whole school. Most all of the students continued their sec- ond year of school at this school with the ex- ception of a few. This was the year for the sophomores to initiate the freshmen They at- tended to this matter very well and they started something new by initiating them all the day of the party. The students that have left or quit school from our class are Marius Beams, Orlajane Crutchfield, Dale Hendryx, Louise Johnson, Von- cille Mason, Lawrence Sprague, Dorothy Dawson, James Loving, Zoe Kinney, Leonard Ruck, June Taylor, Lawrence Cheney, Edwin Loving, Daniel Nash, Jacob Webber, Gladys Bauer, Russell Cheney, Anna Gauwitz, Annabel Johnson, Emily Ross, Lois Trimble, Norman Crew, Frank Dre- wett, and Andy Montonye. The new students that have started at our school since then are: Richard Coster, Gail Mey- ers, Albert Unser, Darlene Johnson, Vernalea Smith, Harrison Price. The Junior Class Play “The Gay Deception” given November 13, was one of the most memor- able features of the year. The junior representatives of the Student Coun- cil have aided in its achievements during the year. Many Juniors have taken part in the play and have worked on the Tempest and Year Book. Juniors have also been active in athletics this year and are looking forward to bringing honors to the good old “Maroon and Black” next year- Letters are being awarded to many of the Juniors this year. “Harlem on Parade,” an all colored per- formance, was presented at the school on Feb- ruary 4, under the auspices of the Junior Class and the Student Council. The show is a part of the WPA theatre unit organization at Peoria. The Juniors gave a St. Valentines dance at the school gymnasium on February 13, with Johnny Dyer’s band to furnish the music; a magician from Peoria also took part in the en- tertainment. The most memorable feature of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet given by the Junior class, on May 1. The school gym was decorated as a May Day party. It seems that people are never quite satisfied with what they have. We Juniors are happy now that we can’t be called “under classmen”; yet we dread starting our last year at Chilli High, which we know will mean the end of our happy high school days. Our adviser, Mr. Church, has aided us many times this year, not only as a class but as in- dividuals and we sincerely thank him. To Mr Adams and the entire faculty, who have helped us in so many ways, we also express our ap- preciation. —Virginia Routh -22- Just another one of those school days! -23- First fire drill of the year.

We Freshmen were seated with our backs to the stage, so we were facing the rest of the stu- dents. Then when it was our turn to get it we were called upon the stage. Of course, there was something on the stage that looked like a skeleton which made us all feel shaky. When we were through with our act they dismissed us with a paddle. They were nice to give us something to eat, though! FRESHMEN PARTY 1936 The procedure was much the same as last year although it was much funnier since we were the Sophomores- However, the party wasn’t held on Hallowe’en as usual because Hallowe’en fell on Saturday and some of the Freshmen wouldn’t have been able to get in to town. We wanted them all here so we held the party on Friday night. After the initiation there were refreshments and dancing as before. —Robert Taylor -29- Juniors have re-election of Student Council officers —30— One month closer to the summer vacation of 1937 OCTOBER Seniors survive first U S.

The chief entertainment of the evening was the initiation of the Freshmen. Much hidden talent was uncovered which will be heard from later. The best of all initiations was when one of the boys was told to sit on a jug and write his name while the Sophomores tried to roll the jug from under him. He did it! After the entertainment, there was danc- ing. Few Freshmen would venture out on the floor when the lights were on. Afterwards the Sophomores made up for the embarrassment caused by serving delicious ice cream and cookies to all. —Violet Neal -13- Several “Freshies” hang on coat hooks during noon hour ’Tis a shame! —14— The first six-weeks exams!

The present presi- dent and several students worked on the idea and aroused the students’ interest to the point that Mr- Adams called for a vote to see if the students wanted a council. The vote was decidedly in favor of organizing a council. Mr. Adams then asked the various classes to send representatives to form a constitutional committee which drew up our present constitution after about a month’s work. The delegates were Bernard Jones, Margie Rose, Roy Trumboid, Lucille Wilson, and Dan Daugherty. Mr. Adams was advisor, and under his cap- able supervision our constitution, which has serv- ed admirably without amendment, was formu- lated. In the fall of 1936 the council was organized and was in running order in less than three weeks. After a month’s time the council in an en- deavor to help free the Athletic Association from their debt sponsored a box social. The box social was well attended and was a success from all standpoints. Later in the year the student council sold candy at a basketball tournament and made a goodly sum to apply on the Athletic Associa- tion’s debt. With the financial aid and the sup- port of the council the Association relieved itself of its debts. In late fall of ’36, the council was invited to the district council convention in Pekin. A majority of the council members attended and were repre- sented in discussion by Harriett Russell, Dan Daugherty, and Mr Adams. With the aid of the student council the Jun- iors put on an entertainment called “Harlem on Parade,” which was a fine musical show and was a big success. The student council also sponsored an Ad- ministration Day during the winter, on which day all the teachers were students, and pupils elected from the various classes were teachers. On April 9th and 10th, the council attended the State convention of stuvdent councils at Bloom- ington, Illinois. Our council was represented in a panel discussion by Dan Daugherty. The subject was “The Values and Weaknesses of a Student Council.” In a questionnaire to the students the student council found the attitude of the students towards the council to be over 89 per cent in favor of it and its activities. The student council, though it has been or- ganized for less than a year, has benefited the school in many ways. It has benefited the prin- cipal and faculty as well as students by it’s de- velopment of a more co-operative spirit among the students. —Dan Daugherty —12 — MAROON AND BLACK MEMBERS Clarinets Deloris Mullen Harrison Price Rosemary Daugherty Marjorie Lynds Jean Holmes Betty Stewart Norman Wilkey William Sheehan Maxine Mathison Helen Edward Wilma Seeley Alice C'oster Flute Harriett Gauwitz Saxophones Jack Weber Norma Woodruff Floyd Rench Dean Adams Donald Holmes John Thomas Charles Cameron Conrad Schwager Alto Horns Harold Risen Jack Kelly Samuel Shepard Dorothy Leiner Marjorie Cunningham Baritones Daniel Daugherty Janet Staab Trombones Janet Staab Genevieve Reffert James Edwards Bass Horns Bernard Schmidt Lawrence Guyer Trumpets Robert McIntosh Howard Risen Walter Stephenson William Shepard Lula Hannah Dale Ruck Jack Hubbell Mary Yost William Reed Raymond Bornsheuer George Berg Bass Drum Marjorie Mead Snare Drums Elta Mae Mast Gene Behrens Merton Gaisford Cymbals Louise Hart EARLY SEASON RECORD On October 24, 1936 the band took part in a band festival in Peoria. The band members were honored in seeing as well as hearing the U. S. Navy Band under the direction of Lieutenant Charles Benter. The concert was held in the Armory in Peoria. On Friday, March 19, 1937, the band went to La Salle to the Northwest District Contest. It is under the direction of Mr Mahlon Saxton. The warming-up march was “Gloria” by Losey; the required number for Class C was “Sir Galahad” by Hildredth; and the selected number was “Festival March” by Victor Herbert. Our band was placed in first division and the solos rated as follows: Harrison Price, clarinet, first; Janet Staab, trombone, first, and baritone, first; William Shepard, cornet, first: Harriett Gau- witz, flute, second; and Robert McIntosh, trumpet, third. —H.

A large sum was cleared. Following is a synopsis of the play. The story is that of an eccentric old man who died, leaving a will stipulating that his four heirs —two nephews and nieces—must remain for three nights in the house occupied by him for many years and which had the reputation of being haunted. Things begin to happen from the moment the heirs put in their appearance, and they keep on happening until the final curtain. The old secretary dies, choked to death by what appears to be an unseen hand. There! are ‘spookish’ happenings that keep the nerves of the audience taut and vibrant. The amazing solution came just a moment before the end of the play. —Jean Holmes NOVEMBER - —29— —.'10— 2 —27— -28- Many Frosh FYeshmen Monday Sophomores Mr- Hayes, suffer able to the are working County at the attend school next day hard and Superintendent Annual after their after planning for pays Chilli Initiation Friday night Sunday! big party High a visit! — 14 — Party. spanking MAROON AND BLACK The First National Bank Affiliated Under the Banking Act of 1933 with THE PEOPLES BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION Chillicothe, III.

The First National has, since long before any of you were bom, been safeguarding the funds of this community and meeting the credit needs of an ever increasing commercial growth. Most of you are preparing yourselves to enter the home and business life of this community. Some day you will have investment problems, need for some ready cash, a family to build a house for, or a thrift program to work out. Then, as ever during the past third of a century, this organization will be ready and eager to assist. But do not wait until then to make our acquain- tance. We invite your friendship now.

He disowned his only son because he married an actress. Drinkwat- er’s wife dies grieving for her son and leaves her money to his orphaned daughter, Glory, only on condition that she spend to the last twenty- four hours before her twenty-first birthday with her grandfather, but Glory is an actress under contract to make a talking picture in South America. She conceives the idea of sending Honor, a friend, to the Sanitarium in her place. Her grandfather has never seen her and need never again. She writes a letter of explanation to Bob, her fiance, but the letter is lost. The letter has many hair breath escapes with Bob, Glory, and Honor in hot pursuit. After many exciting experiences, the trouble is all settled and Dr. Drinkwater does not become suspicious. Everyone is happy and quite contented when the curtain falls. A large audience attended this musical pro- duction and a good sum was cleared. —3— —4— Mackey —6— —9— Many Seniors Tucker Vacation!

A sum of forty-seven dol- lars was cleared. This amount is to be used to defray the expenses of the Junior-Senior banquet. Miss Opal McKray very capably directed the pro- duction. This is a farce comedy which centers around the Candler Stolls, a family accustomed to luxury, but suddenly find themselves shorn of their wealth. To make matters worse, Mrs. Stoll has received word that Mrs. Winston Moffat, a very wealthy friend, is coming to pay her a visit. Due to a lack of salary payment, the ser- vants have all left, with the exception of the color- ed cook.

ACTIVITIES In the fall when school started there were twenty-five students in the home economics class, fifteen in the foods class, and thirteen in the clothing class, making a total of fifty-three. On December 4, 1936, the student body was entertained by the Home Economics Department who put on a play entitled, “Thanksgiving Com- pany.” The students who participated in the play were: Marie Finley, Bette Behrens, Arleen Moore, Pearl Stanfield, Gertrude Pritchard, Eva- dale Hoisington, Mary Gasaway, Jean Sage, and Hazel Beck; and Vivian Le Viness was an- nouncer. Before the play began there was a piano solo by Janet Staab, “A Polish Dance” and a duet by Lucille Le Viness and Barbara Bewlah entitled “Auf Weidersehn.” Between acts of the play we were entertained by a guitar solo, “Did I Remem- ber” by Jean Sage. After the play a vocal solo was given bv Esther Kelley entitled, “Whv Can’t You ?” On December 7, 1936, the foods class started working on their Christmas project, which was the making of assorted candies. In February 1937, a chile luncheon was serv- ed by the Foods class, who thought the people who brought their lunches regularly might like this as a change. The luncheon consisting of chile, chocolate milk, and cookies was served at 11:45 Approximately 60 people were served. A profit of $1.95 was made after several bills were paid. The girls of the Foods class gave a pot-luck supper on Friday, February 12, 1937 at 5:45- Valentines were exchanged, and the following girls enjoyed a pleasant hour together: Wanda Erwin, Dorothy Leiner, Virginia Foster, Aileen Snedeker, Esther Kelley, Hazel Keeley, Jane Tucker, Jeanette Ransom, Genevieve Reffert, Vivian Cook, Vernalea Smith, Evelyn Barker, Helen Reed, and Geraldine Donath. On March 2, 1937, the clothing class motored to Lacon to visit the Lacon Woolen Mills. There were 18 in the party. It was a very interesting party for the clothing class as they saw the making of woolen cloth from the fibre. They were accompanied by their instructor, Miss Al- den, and several of the girls’ parents. On March 18, 1937, the Home Economics girls had a pot luck supper at 7 o’clock in the Home Economics room. Dinner was served at 7:15. It consisted of baked beans, sandwiches, potato salad, cake, fruit, jello, and chocolate milk. The main games of the evening were bingo, an egg hunt, and an amateur hour. The amateur hour prize was won by Mary Lou Starnes. The girls were later favored by a tap dance by Norma Scott, which was the main hit of the evening. The other prizes were won by Bette Behrens and Jean Sage. —Adele Zimmerman -17- Students blow the dust off of their books ready for a new week of use -18- Home Economic classes prepare for Mothers’ convention -20- -19- Student -23- Assembly Council Class Program Meeting Meetings — 20 — MAROON AND BLACK WAIT BROTHERS Phone 203 Plumbing and Heating CONTRACTORS LINN’S W E SELL Everything HOME GIVE Satisfaction PHONE 368L GROCERY 7 CIP Furnaces W HiliV Air Conditioning Williams Oil-O-Matic CHILLICOTHE, ILLINOIS Congratulations!

A. AND SPORTS The hike which the girls had carefully planned for the first Saturday had to be canceled on ac- count of rain. The girls were invited to Miss Alden’s apartment, where they had their break- fast and played games. The play day for the G. A. A. was held on October 23, at East Peoria. The physical education class periods have been divided into two periods. The first part con- sists of exercises for health, and the other part is games and various sports. The fall choice for girls sports were as fol- lows: Tennis, volleyball, baseball, soft ball, and soccer. Hikes were also planned All girls were asked to come out for at least one sport if not more. In November, a girls sports hour was or- ganized for all girls in school that were inter- ested in any sports. There was a good show of attendance, and the girls started to organize their volleyball and basketball teams. On December 7, members of the G. A. A. had made plans to sell candy at the home basket- ball games to raise money for the necessary ex- penses to the state- Girls Sports Hour was being held two nights a week instead of one. The girls were getting in practice for their basketball teams. On December 21, a report was given that the G. A. A. had made $4.35 from selling candy at the home basketball games. They expect to con- tinue with their candy selling for some time. At this meeting plans were made for a Christmas Party. On February 1, members of the G. A A. gave a pot-luck supper from 6:15 to 9 o’clock. After the supper the members carried out a dis- cussion for an all school party for girls which was to be held some time in latter February. They also enjoyed themselves by playing ping pong, pokeno, and bunco. In February the girls got together and chose captains for their basketball teams. They were as follows: Team 1..................Adele Zimmerman Team 2...................Anna Marie Gollnitz Team 3........................Louise Hart On February 17, 1937 the G. A. A- members cordially invited all girls of the high school to at- tend a costume party which was to be held in the gym. A prize was to be given for the best cos- tume. The Costume Party was a big success and well attended. The prize for the best judged cos- tume was awarded to Wanda Sweeney. Judges of the costumes were Miss Gerber and Miss Hurt. Other prizes went to Hazel Beck and Rosemary Daugherty. On March 15, members of the G. A. A. were making plans to hold a spring play day here. The date was not definitely settled, but it will prob- ably be May 8 At the present time the girls basketball sea- son comes to a close. Louise Hart is in first place, while Anna Marie Gollnitz and Adele Zim- merman are tied for second place. —Adele Zimmerman — 28 — MAROON AND BLACK COMPLIMENTS Stoecker Tire and Battery Shop Kendall Oils — Mobilgas Day — Service — Night PHONE 45 Phone 124L BURNETT READ Contractor Compliments of the J.

E. LYNDS — 31 — MAROON AND BLACK Maroon and Black Athletics Although not as successful as some seasons of the past, the 1936-1937 edition of the Chilli Hi football and basketball squads managed to give a good account of themselves in all the battles of the season. Some tough luck in the form of injuries, sickness and ineligibility haunted the Maroon and Black in just about all the principal games of the year. A stiff schedule was booked for the year in both football and basketball, and considering all the disadvantages suffered, both teams did exceptionally well- In football, only a mediocre season was ex- perienced as far as comparative scoring is to be considered, 2 wins being recorded as against seven losses, including one to a powerful Alumni aggregation at the start of the season. Wethers- field of Kewanee proved too tough in the second game of the season, as did Washington and Tou- lon in succeeding contests. The first win was recorded against the Peoria Manual Sophs by a top heavy score, and the Maroons also took the measure of the strong Wyoming eleven by a margin of two touchdowns. The game which proved to be the best of the season was staged when the powerhouse footballers from East Peoria journeyed down with all the confidence of two undefeated seasons behind them to find themselves outplayed, outgamed and outfought by a lighter, more inexperienced Chilli eleven. Outweighed in every position, the Maroons put up as game a fight as ever Cutright Field has seen, and were leading at the half, seven to noth- ing; having pushed over two other touchdowns by aerial plays which caught the enemy flat- footed, but both of which were called back by the officials. In the second half, however, the East Peoria team, using straight power plays, literally pushed the Maroons over their own goal line and won by a twenty to seven score. In the final game of the season, 151 Paso caught the Chilli men off form and came out on top by a twenty to nothing count. While only two wins were recorded this year, we feel that the foot- ball team displayed enough gameness and fight to more than make up for any losses suffered. At the start of the basketball season some high hopes were entertained for an excellent year, but through the workings of various kinds of fortune, such was not the case. Although winning only six of a total of sixteen scheduled games, the Maroon and Black scored more points during the entire season than the enemy teams were able to make, which is a remarkable feat in itself. The total Chilli points for the season was 450 as against 430 scored by the opposi- tion, twenty markers in front. The Maroons scored victories over Henry three times, La Rose, Dunlap and Sparland, while sustaining losses to Princeville twice, Lacon twice, Toulon twice, Brimfield twice, Sparland three times and Glasford once; also a loss to E. Peoria in the District tournament Another peculiar feature was the fact that the Maroons were able to win games from Dunlap and Sparland, who this year boasted of the strongest teams in the history of either of the two schools; and later suffered losses to both. The second team fared a little better with their schedule, which bodes well for next years basketball hopes. The yearlings managed to win a total of sixteen out of twenty games in their curtain raiser and tournament games, winning the trophy at the Sparland Invitational tourna- ment. Wins were scored over Sparland three times, while losing one contest to them, Henry twice, Princeville twice, winning and losing one to Lacon. Toulon twice, winning and losing one to Brimfield, a win and a lose to Dunlap, and a win over La Rose and Glasford- Principal A squad performers were Bill Bawcombe, Walt Stephenson, Russ Trumbold, Gail Myers, Bernie Jones, Paul Leiner, Carl Hartzell, Earl Ramsey, Bob Cleveland, Jim Sweeney, Gene Behrens, Bud Cameron, and Roy Trumbold. These players varied on the A and B squads, with the follow- ing players completing the B squad roster: Jack Kelly, Tom Shepard, Andy Medina, Albert Un- ser, Marshall Cook, Henry Freer, Paul Carr, Dick Coster, Bob Chittenden, Bob Schmidt, Bob Veerman, Charles Harvey. Football men included: Don Woodruff, Henry Freer, Bob Cleveland.

Fond hopes for an excellent team were held for the spring of 1937 as all of these boys were under-class- men. On April 1, 1937 these letter men are available: Russ Trumbold, Jones. Harvey, Lein- er, Poignant, and G. Anderson. Failure to re- turn to school and scholastic difficulties has cut heavily into a veteran experienced line-up in ev- ery position. To offset this, the squad this spring is larger than any that ever turned out for this activity. Classes have contributed as follows: Seniors: Russ Trumbold. Juniors: Bawcombe, Harrison, Harvey, Jones and Leiner. Sophomores: G. Anderson, Haas, Poignant, Ramsey and Rouse. Freshmen: C. Anderson, Arnold, Cleveland, Cooper, Freer, Hall, Johnston, Mead and Murray. On Labor Day last fall, our squad played a game with Princeville High School and were vic- torious. This spring we have scheduled games with Lacon, Princeville and Dunlap. The re- mainder of the schedule will be made up of games with some of the following teams who usually compete with us in this sport: Wyoming, Pekin, Peoria Manual and Peoria Central. Outstanding candidates for positions this yelir are: Catchers: Jones, Harvey and G- Anderson. Pitchers: Poignant, Leiner, Murray, Harvey and Jones. Infield: Harvey, Leiner, Myers, Bawcombe, Trumbold, Freer, and Ramsey. Outfield: J. Sweeney, C. Anderson, G.

The usual dual meets with Princeville, Sparland, Dunlap, and Brimfield will be held on the local field. The District meet will be held in Peoria on May 7th with the state meet one week later. Plans are being made to attend the Bradford, Pontiac, and Pekin Relays. The classic event, the annual running of the Peo- ria County track and field contests will again be held on Outright field under the lights. Letter men who will form the basis of the team this year are: Boylan, Carr, Guyer, Hartzell. Hjoward Risen, Sledgister, Stedman, and Russ Trumbold, all of whom are members of the Sen- ior class. Jones and Stewart are members of the Junior class who have won awards before. Outstanding men in each event are as follows: Dashes: Guyer, Sledgister, Underwood, King, Cleveland and Rouse. Middle Distance: Harrison, Reed, Stewart, and Hartzell. Distances: Stedman, Boylan, and Coster. Jump: Hartzell, Sledgister, Freer and Myers. Vault: Carr, Trumbold, and Myers- Hurdles: Risen, Trumbold, and Veerman. Weights: Jones, Underwood, Trumbold, and Cleveland. The team of 1936 showed a great spirit and was well balanced and it will be a hard job to re- place men like Stoner, Coon, and Swanson, who graduated as well as several others who did not come to school this year. Upholding a season’s record of winning the Peoria Indoor Classic, the Peoria County Meet, an excellent showing in all relays and the District meet at Pekin as well as winning all dual meets with the exception of Peo- ria Manual, is no small task. —Maxine Tucker Juniors profit well from entertainment —8— What???

There was an enrollment of ninety Freshmen in September, and we showed them that we weren’t so green after all. The Initiation Party was giv- en us by the Sophomores on October 31, 1933, and we took it quite well. One initiation es- pecially interesting was Bernard Feldman, as a shoe salesman, who was trying shoes on Betty Snyder, the customer Dorothy See and Joe Boy- lan refused their initiation but received it with a paddle. Later in the year, on May 11, we held our Freshman Return Party. This was in the form of a Plantation Party. The entertainment and programs carried out the idea of a plantation. Refreshments were served to some 200 students and guests. As Sophomores we sat back and relaxed aft- er having lived out our term as ‘green Freshies.’ The tables had turned, and it was now our turn to initiate- We held our Initiation Party on Oc- tober 30, 1934. One of the main events of this initiation was that received by Bill Bawcombe. Bill willingly agreed to dance with a skeleton, but he admitted it did seem a rather long time. At the beginning of our Junior year we were looking forward to preparing for the Junior- Sen- ior banquet. When the time came, with the as- sistance of Miss Morrison and Mr. Hale, our class advisors, the Banquet was a big success. Deco- rations, favors, and entertainment were in the circus idea which was very colorful and amusing. Appearing on the program were Barbara Truitt, Margie Rose, Mr. Keithley, Dan Daugh- erty, and Mary Anne Fleetwood. Alyee Rans- dell was the mistress of ceremonies. Later in the evening Swede Ahlstrom’s orchestra furnish- ed the music for dancing. Another event of our Junior year was the presentation of our class play The play was en- titled, “A Full House,” directed by Miss Opal McKray, and was a decided success. As Seniors we are preparing to present our class play, “Spooks,” which will be directed by Miss Opal McKray. Later in the spring we will be the guests of the Junior class at the Junior- Senior banquet. On Apr. 2, most of our class went to Peoria to the Annual Conference of Seniors at Bradley College. —Jane Lee Starnes 1937 ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Mrs. Rice, representing the Peoria D. A. R. organization, gave a very interesting talk to the general assembly on January 29. She spoke to the whole school, particularly to the girls- The D. A. R. organization throughout the United States was offering an opportunity for one girl from each state to make a trip to Washington D. C. in the late spring. This trip is offered to give the girls an opportunity to see this beauti- ful city and its scenery which they might not be able to see otherwise. A girl from the Senior class of each high school is chosen by members of her class to represent her school in the state convention. She must have certain qualfications which are: To be a Senior; a leader among com- munity and school life; patriotic and a scholar The Reverend Stowell, of the Chillicothe Congregational church, gave a talk on February 22, to the assembly, speaking about Washing- ton and Lincoln. The first of his speech began with a comparison of the two men. He told the different background of each man, and differ- ences of opportunities each had. He told of how we now celebrate their birthdays and will con- tinue to in the future because of the great things they have accomplished. March 24, during general assembly, Mr. Staples of Peoria gave an exhibition on what his show contained. His equipment for the demon- stration was a monkey, and a doll which he used in his ventriloquist act. We refer you to Albert Johnson. March 23, Dr. Shahan of the State Tubercu- losis Society gave a talk on tuberculosis and also showed slides on the disease. Mr. Shahan show- ed through his pictures the cycle of tuberculosis including—germs, the inflicted person, and the victim who is usually a person between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five years. He also stated that Robert Koch first discovered the tubercu- losis germs and due to his discovery, many scientific experiments have been made to de- crease the death rate due to tuberculosis. —Nadine Dillon —Dorothy Leiner Violins Robert McIntosh Mahlon Saxton Clarinets Deloris Mullen Rosemary Daugherty Flute Harriett Gauwitz ORCHESTRA MEMBERS Mr. Mahlon Saxton Alto Horns Harold Risen Daniel Daugherty Trumpets Robert McIntosh Howard Risen Walter Stephenson Piano Janet Staab Deloris Mullen Saxophone Jack Weber Trombone Janet Staab Genevieve Reffert Percussion Gene Behrens Marjorie Mead —H.

CLASS OF '37, I SALUTE VOU, and I nepeat - MAV GOV BLESS US, EVERY ONE , until we meet again. My Zove to you, ELTA MAE MAST: A FIFTY-YEAR SKETCH FIFTY YEARS? It couldn't be — but, it really is. And — they have been very good years. When we were together in Chillicothe I didn't dream of the roots that were being planted and how many times a year I would think of you and them as time went by. The things we did, the things we decided not to do, those Midwestern values we stood for and, yes, even the halls and classrooms of grade and high school often float through my mind. As I wrote that last sentence I was in dear old English with Ms. Deames, Math with Ms. Morrison, Biology with Mr. Keithley and typing and accounting with Ms. Hurt. Oh, yes, I can even see and feel the erasers and spit balls flying when Ms. Hurt was out of the room. Seemed bad at the time— but in retrospect it was good clean fun, wasn't it? I knew then that I wanted to be a teacher —and that I have been doing for 45 years (Are those figures correct?). Scared to death I left Chilli for Normal, Illinois to attend good old Illinois State Normal University and to major in Business Administration. Well, I finished that major but picked up a second one —Biology. A good decision — or a stroke of luck — for that background lead me to Public Health Education, a most rewarding profession. I taught high school Biology, worked for the Illinois Department of Public Health and taught Public Health Education at the University of North Carolina and University of Washington. Along the way I obtained MPH and PhD degrees from the University of North Carolina. All of this I enjoyed, but the highlight was an 8-year assignment to the Bureau of Indian Health in Arizona and New Mexico. There I lived and worked with Pueblo and Navajo Indians to help them help themselves to improved health. My personal life? I am still an unclaimed treasure; a dedicated fisherperson who goes to Canada to catch the big ones; a traveler, via motor home, who does it all backwards — goes South in the Summer and sits in rusty Seattle all Winter; and, a silversmither of American Indian jewelry — an art I learned from the Indians. I have always done a great deal of volunteer work with health and social- agencies, but since retiring two years ago I have been so busy I don't know hew I had time to work before. Presently I am very involved training volunteers for American Cancer and helping the elderly with the myriad of government forms for the American Red Cross. Yes, for many years I have been a dedicated helper and teacher — and I have loved every minute of it. BUT, none of it would have been satisfying, or even possible, without the learnings from my family, Chillicothe, students and community people! LOUISE SCHIELEIN TOBIN I was a secretary at Chilli Hi for six years, 1938 - 1944. I married George Tobin in August, 1943, in Chillicothe. We lived in Peoria until 1949, when we moved to Mossville. We owned Tobin Drug Store in Peoria twenty-six years. I was kept busy making salads for the soda fountain and working part time. We had two children - Steven, born January, 1947, and Jam's, born January, 1949. Steven lives in Peoria and has two children, Dan and Jaime. Janis lives near Dallas and has two children, Chris and Ryan. Toby passed away November, 1979. I still live on Mossville Road with Toby s dog, Robby. MAUDE ROUTH MULLEN I have lived in Chillicothe most of my married life. My husband's business has been here also and I was involved in his office work. Being in the contracting business, we acquired the farm next to the old high school and developed it into a subdivision. We have enjoyed raising five children, the last being twins, plus the pleas- ure of having ten grandchildren. During my married life we have traveled quite a bit. My hobbies are bridge and golf. We are retired and have been spending part of the winter in Florida. Maude Routh Mullen. DEAN STEDMAN When I graduated from school in 1937 I went to work at the Larkin gas station working for Brank Bacon. I worked there for three years. In the late winter of 40-41 I went to work at ABC Washing machines factory. I didn't much care for that (too much work!), so in June of 1°41 I went to work for R. G. LeTourneau. There were several name changes over the years, but I worked there 40 years and 10 months, less service time. I went into the army Oct. 14, 1941 and was discharged Oct. 8, 1945. I came home on leave and married Evelyn Barker in Nov., 1944. We had two children, Michael and Donald. Between them we have six grandchildren - four girls and two boys. (Dean Stedman cont.) Over the years my interests have changed. I was active in Little League Baseball, Boy Scouts while the kids were growing up - also whenever they needed a ride or a body we seemed to be there. At the present time I like most sports. I play golf, swim, ride a bicycle, do a little woodworking, talk on the C.B. radio, and I am also taking an amateur radio course to get a higher license. I still like to read a lot. JACK WEBEP. After graduating in 1937 I attended mortuary school in St. louis with completion after a year. I returned to the family owned business, Weber Funeral Home, in Chillicothe until 1939. At that time I journeyed to California to attend Curtis-Wright Tech- nical Institute at Glendale. After completion of that schooling, I was hired by Douglas Aircraft in the engineering department. From that position I entered the Army Air Corp - that was in 1943. I was discharged in 1946. At that time I returned to the family business until 1960 when I became plant manager for Piatt-Smilly, a chemical company in St. Louis, Missouri. I returned again to Chillicothe in 1952 to continue the family business due to my father's illness and subsequent death in late 1962 and my mother's death in 1969. I married Emmy Lou LeGendre in 1969. We continued the business until 1984, when I retired. During my entire life I have been interested in planes and boats. I have sailed in many parts of the U.S. and presently own a 37' sloop. I am now on an extended cruise in the Caribbean and the East Coast of the U.S. LUCILLE LE VIHESS HAHN After graduation, I worked in the office at the high school for three years. I married Emery Hahn in June, 1940. We had two sons: P.oy, now married and living in Brigham City, Utah. They have a son and a daughter. Karl, married and lives in Lacon. They also have a son and a daughter. Emery died in August, 1973. I went to work at Carlisle's Drug Store for ten years. I am now retired and living in the same house I started married life in with two cats. I am busier now than before with volunteer and charity work. CARL HARTZELL 1937 to 1942 University of Illinois, B.S. degree in Civil Engineering 1942 to 1946 United States Army Air Corps Discharged in September 1946. Married Betty Lou Ernst in Chillicothe. Moved to California in 1947. We have four children, they were all born in California. Until 1985, I worked for an international construction company. I worked all over the country, including Alaska and Puerto Rico. We have lived in six states. In 1985, I went to work for an oil company in Houston. I retired in 1986 when the oil company ran out of gas. 1947 to 1967 lived in California. 1967 to 1974 lived in New Jersey 1974 to 1978 lived in Massachussetts 1978 to 1980 lived in Missouri 1980 to 1986 lived in Texas July 1986 to November, 1986 - Henry, Illinois In November 1986 we moved to Ft. Bragg, California. We will stay here forever. YOLA BLAIR HICKLIN I went to Moody Institute for six months, until I was 18% years old, and could enter nurses training in Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago. After graduation I did private duty for two years and then went into the Navy Nurse's Corps. I was there two years and was discharged because I married a Navy dentist. His first wife had died of polio, so I had two little boys three and four years old the day after we were married. We moved to Hinckley, Illinois where Herb bought a dental practice. We were there five years and moved to Seattle to help with a Dental Missionary project. This was 1951. By now we have five children. In 1963 we went to Nigeria, W. Africa to relieve a dentist missionary who went home for a year. We took four of the children with us - we had six by then. That was enough. We went to Nigeria six different years and enjoyed it very much. The last time we came home we moved across the mountain from Seattle. We like it here because it is very dry. We have eleven grandchildren and love traveling to Florida, New Mexico, Seattle, and Selah, Wa. to visit them every year. Pray the Lord will make it possible for us to attend. ESTHER KELLEY NEELEY I am married for the second time to Charles L. Neeley, Sr. since 1982. (Formerly married to Ray Walsh, who lives in Peoria. I have three daughters, Maureen, 38, who lives in Atlanta, Ga.; Michele, 35, who lives in Houston, TX; and Kathleen Kelley Hoban, 30, who lives in Downers Grove, IL. Michele made me a grandmother twice, Christopher, 10, and Renee Beth, 6. Charlie and I live in Mackinaw, 111. six months and Holiday, Fla. (where we are now) 6 months. Retired, of course, both of us. I worked at Caterpillar five years in the office, stayed home several years to raise my family and then worked at Zeller Mental Health Center for fifteen years. Those were the Hungry Years as the song goes - remember, none of us had much money back then but those were the happy years. No booze or drugs and I'm positive we had happier years than the kids do nowadays. Wanda (Erwin) Lombardo, my step-sister, lives in Columbus, Ohio, where she owns and operates the Lombardo Italian Restaurant. Wanda is a widow and heir two daughters are grown and live there also. She flew down to Florida for a visit last winter. Wanda and I worked at Shore Acres (1936) as waitresses (cocktail) for awhile. Back then you didn't have to be of age. We always told our folks we were food waitresses. Well, one rainy and stormy night, my father. Rev., Joseph B. Kelley, came to pick us up and much to our surprise - here we were handing out drinks to patrons. Needless to say, that was the end of our job. (Dad was a retired Baptist minister). Gosh - 50 years! It's later than we think. I'll be happy to see all of our classmates. ROSE REYNOLDS HARLAN In 1937, since there was no employment for the new graduates, I enrolled in Brown's Business School; I finally secured a secretarial position with a wholesale company in Peoria. I continued with the same firm for many years. I married and moved to a farm near Dunlap. We lived there until 1975, when we sold and moved into Peoria, where I continue to live. My husband died in 1977. We had no children. HOWARD L.

JOSEPH BOYLAN I haven't strayed too far from home base the last fifty years. I went to work the morning after graduation, and served a four year apprentice course in the sheet metal industry. Then came the war, and I was drafted into the army, but was lucky and spent al- most two years in Hawaii. I returned home from the army in March, 1346, and was married to Mary Ellen Purcell in Princeville on May 4, 1946. We lived in Peoria a short time, then moved to Princeville on a farm, where we farmed the next 17% years. In 1965 we moved back to Peoria, and I went back to the sheet metal trade. This time I stayed and retired there in July of 1982. My wife retired from Pabst Brewing Co. about five years ago. She is having her 50th reunion from Princeville, also in August. We have two sons, one of them has twin boys. BRUCE A. FREER Following graduation from high school, I enlisted in the Air Force and served four years as a Technical Supply Officer until 1945. I met my wife, Beulah Nelson, a dietitian, in Walla Walla, Washington, where we were both stationed, and we were married in 1944. We have two children, Shelby, who is a scientist at the Northern Regional Research Center in Peoria, and Sandra, who is a Sales Representative in Packaging at Phoenix, Arizona. We have a home in Peoria, and spend five to six winter months in Tucson, Arizona. I spent my working years in the lumber business, and the construction business. MILDRED HI SHALL DUNBAR I was married right out of high school and had four children. We were divorced in 1947. It was hard for a few years, cleaning houses, washing and ironing, baby sitting and restaurant work, and then in 1953 I got a job as a telephone operator. I loved that job but got a chance to work in the engineering department at Cater- pillar in 1955. The wages and benefits were so much better that I couldn't af- ford to turn it down. A year later the telephone office went dial, and I've always felt that the good Lord was guiding me. My parents were a great help. They watched over the children while I worked. My father passed away in 1965 and a year later I moved in with mother, as she couldn't be alone. By this time my children were married. Mother passed away in 1976. I retired in 1982 after 28 years at Caterpillar. I have traveled a lot - U.S., Europe, Hawaii, and Newfoundland, and in 1979 I went on a Caribbean cruise. My oldest son, Floyd is a corrections officer at Hanna City and lives near Dun- lap. My second son, LeRoy and his wife own the Royal Blue Restaurant at Blue Mound and live near Decatur. My third son, Dennis works at Fleming Potter and lives in Chilli. My daughter, Mary is a housewife and lives in Chilli. I have eleven grandchildren, two step grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and one step great grandson. I am enjoying my retirement. My children are very good to me. My five sisters and I get together often and go on short tours, and I have many friends. God has been good to me! JANE LEE STARNES LOSER After graduation I went to business college in Peoria. I worked at Postal Tele- graph until they closed the office. I had several other jobs but times were bad (as you know). I got married in May of 1939 to a wonderful guy. Times were tough but we had LOVE! We had four children - two girls and two boys. After the youngest finished High School I went to work at Foster Gallaghers in the credit department. Our old- est son was in Vietnam for a year as a Helicopter Gunner and with the work, it kept my mind occupied. I wrote him a letter every day. I joined a club for Service Men's Mothers called S.O.S. We made cookies and mailed them (by truckloads) to the boys in hospitals in Vietnam. I lost my husband December 24, 1982. I still live in the same house and three acres of fruit, garden, grass and wonderful memories. I have eleven grand- children and one great-grandson. I have been babysitting my two houngest grand- children since December, 1986. One is four and the other in one. They are so much company, especially during the long winter. Hopefully I can come to the reunion. PAUL H. CARR After High School graduation I attended Business College in Peoria for about a year and a half. Because jobs were scarce, I went to Washington State in 1939 to seek my fortune. I didn't find a fortune, but I found something much better; I met and married my wife LaVerna. We have been blessed with three children, two boys and a girl, and seven grandchildren. Also, we have a great grandchild on the way who should be here before our class reunion. I was employed by the Boeing Co. in Seattle in a variety of positions for over 40 years before retiring in 1982. Since retiring we have enjoyed travelling, working in our church, and other volunteer activities besides just plain loaf- ing. God has truly blessed us during the last 50 years. DAN DAUGHERTY I married a girl from Peoria, Ethel, in 1945 during the war. We have a son and daughter, both married and doing well. After the war, I finished college at Illinois and moved to California. We've lived in Ohio, Seattle, San Francisco, and now Big Pine, California, where we plan to retire. While we've had an exciting life, I can't think of anything to interest the rest of the class. I hope you all have a great time and thanks for remembering me in your plans. (Dan is unable to attend because of previous plans). MARY SUE MOULTON BLAKELY Attended college at Normal State University, Normal, 111. for two years. Completed Beauty Culture course at Quincy Beauty School, Quincy, 111. May 11, 1941 married Paul Blakely, Lomax, 111. Have two children, a son and a daughter, four grandchildren. We had our own business for 25 years. This involved self-service laundries, manufacturing and marketing of a car wash in Clinton, Indiana. In 1979 my husband died. Since that time I've been helping care for my 93 year old mother who is blind and deaf in Columbus Junction, Iowa. At the present time I am living with my sister-in-law in Martinsvi11e, Illinois. ALYCE RANSDELL MacMILLAN I married Chuck Larson one week after high school graduation. My three child- ren arrived during the first five years of this marriage. My daughter, Susan lives in California. Corky lives in Florida and my son, David lives in Chillicothe. I've had many good trips visiting them. After seventeen years, I divorced Larson and remained single for three years. Then married Mac McCleskey who died after seventeen years of being my husband. I married again in approximately a year to Buss Crull (a local man) who lived only ten and a half months. So now I have three dead ex-husbands and one real live one, David MacMillan. He wi11 survive, an ex-merchant marine and navy man, rough and tough but with a tender heart. I worked at Caterpillar Tractor Co. for twenty-seven years, retired in 1977 and now live in Bradenton, Florida. Have a motor home we travel in and live part of the time on our 40 foot Chris Craft. Also work part time cashiering at a small theatre a few blocks from my home. I love to dance, there are many places here to go for a fun evening. Also swimming in the Gulf of Mexico is one of my favorites. Belong to the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 83. They accepted me without knowing that I couldn't swim, so had to get busy to learn to swim at the age of 65 before they found out. There are so many things to do, don't know how I ever had the time to work so many years. Life has been good to me. There have been some real rough times but they all smoothed out. BARBARA BEWLAH HARRIS Moved to California in 1943. Got pilot's license at age 42, also learned to water ski and snow ski. 1964 moved to Arizona, had grocery store, gas station, snack bar and marina at Riviera, Arizona. 1967 Went to work as dispatcher for the Arizona Highway Patrol, dispatched for 7 years when I left patrol to take over ambulance business in Kingman. 1973 was first woman ambulance driver in Arizona. Was burned in explosion of a railroad tank car loaded with propane July 5, 1973. Spent 33 days in burn center in Henderson, Nevada. Was first person to be awarded the Star of Life award and commendation from the Arizona Corp. Commission for work done during explosion. 1975 divorced and moved back to California. Worked for 6 months for the Glen- dale, California Police Department as dispatcher. Decided that was enough, so went to work for a paint contractor. Moved back to Arizona in 1983 and have been employed by the Chrysler Dealership in Kingman. Unmarried, no children, one Doberman named Mysty, one Shepard named Tabatha, one white Poodle named Petit Pepe Pierre, and a Siamese cat named Shu-Shu! Isn't all that exciting? I keep in touch with Marge and Bob Gallup but lost track of almost everyone else. I do so want to come back and will do so if I can. It sounds like you are going all out to make it the best. LOUISE PRITCHARD 1937-1987 (50 Years) JACK SHEPARD After graduating from Chillicothe High School in 1937, Louise went to work for the Illinois Central Telephone Company and Jack hired in at LeTozmeau's in Peoria. Four years later, they decided their lives were to be together; they were married May 2, 1941. Their first son, Stephen, was born March 30, 1943. Of course World War II was in full swing and finally, after Pearl Harbor and many deferments from LeTorneau's, Jack wanted to join the rest of his buddies in the support of his country. He became a member of Uncle Sam's Navy, May 1, 1944. He enjoyed Boot Camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Chicago, Illinois. To make a long story short, he ended up in Ships Company in Shoemaker, California. In December, 1944, Louise and Stephen joined him and they resided in San Leandro, California, during the next year. During that time, Louise Worked for the 800th Air Force Depot in Oakland, California. After returning home to Chillicothe in December, 1945, they resided in a house they remodeled on Walnut Street. Their second son, James, was born on August 5, 1946. In January, 1949, Louise and Jack moved to Fort Worth, Texas, and Jack went to work for Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (later changed to Convair and as of now is General Dynamics Corporation). Louise and Jack were very active in all of the activities relating to their children during their growing years. They have been members of the First Congregational Church since 1950, having served as chairmen of the Boards of Trustees, the Board of Deacons, teaching Church School, and Youth Group Chairmen for three years (at which time Jack coached three basketball teams and the TCU Tiny Mite Football team; Louise had a girls Volleyball Team). They remain active in the church and are still singing in the church choir. They were very active in school activities; PTA president. Dad's Club chairman, and all Boy Scout Activities. Stephen received his Eagle Scout Award; Jim his Life Scout Award (football took precedence); and they are proud of grandson, Stephen, Jr., who also received his Eagle Scout Award. When Jim was in the third grade of school, Louise was offered a position with the Fort Worth Independent School District Administration. (This meant more education for her at North Texas State University and Tarrant County Junior College). In the meantime, and with all other activities. Jack attended Texas Christian University for extra education in his work with General Dynamics. In 1981, Louise retired from the Fort Worth Independent School District, and in 1982, Jack retired from General Dynamics. They are avid golfers, play a lot of bridge, and belong to several clubs. Jack is a member of the Elks Lodge and was made Elk of the Year, 1983-1984. Louise is a Lady Elks Past President. Steve, now 44, received his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Army Engineers upon graduation from college. At age 43, he retired from the U. S. Army Engineers as a Lt. Col. and is now a vice president of an engineering firm in Dallas. His wife, Sandra, is a fine daughter-in-law. They have two children; Louise Pritchard Jack Shepard —2 (their first daughter, Sheila, was born with a kidney defect and with all medical sources available, she could only survive three days and is buried in Arlington National Cemetary); Stephen, Jr., 20, is a junior in college, and Debbie, 17, is a senior in high school. Jim, 41, has been with Luskey's Western Wear since he was in Junior High School. During this time he finished high school, college, and served two years in the Naval Air Service (both boys served more than a year in Vietnam and were there at the same time; one in Danang Harbor on a Helicopter Carrier; the other one in an Army Engineers Company near Pleikeu. Jim is now the head of the Fort Worth Western Wear Store (there are 7) and is a buyer for all of them. His wife, Linda, (our other fine daughter-in-law) is an Early Childhood Specialist with the Fort Worth Independent School District. They have two daughters; Joella, 9h, and Jamie, 8. Jack's mother, Edith, now 87, resides with them Ln Fort Worth. Well, this surely sounds like lots of bragging on the part of Jack and Louise, but needless to say, they are very proud of their family and enjoy them very much. They have had 46 wonderful years together and are looking forward to making it 50. The 46 years have not all been smooth sailing, but the good things have far outweighed the bad ones. By the way, when the 50th arrives, you are all invited to the party (that we hope will be provided by those wonderful sons and daughter-in-laws, and their families)1 ROSEMARY DAUGHERTY CARR I had decided I wanted to work in an office in downtown Chicago, so two weeks after graduation I was in Chicago living with my sister and attending Gregg Bus- iness College. (I hadn't taken bookkeeping in high school, and besides, jobs were hard to get and I thought maybe the school might help. In January, 1938, I started working for an investment securities company in Chicago as secretary. July 1940 I took the Federal Civil Service test (at the urging of Marguerite Fruin, our shorthand and typing teacher during our Junior year). May, 1941 - took a job with the Federal Government, scheduled to spend four months on each project. First was Sidney, New York, then Richmond, Virginia, then a year had passed and I wanted to get back to Chicago. May, 1942 - started with Washington office of National Park Service, which moved to Chicago for the duration of the war. When the Park Service returned to Washington in 1947, I went, too! All my service with the National Park Service was as secretary to the Chief Counsel, (and later, Law Clerk). I went to American University, Washington College of Law, at night and graduated June, 1955. I married Francis X. Carr in October, 1955. Moved to Dallas, Texas in 1962. Frank and I have two sons, both of whom live in Dallas. Patrick is still single. Kevin is married and has a two year old daughter, our only grandchild (so far)! MARY JANE McKIBSEN BARTELSON After graduation took postgraduate year at Chilli High Attended University of Illinois - two years Two year business college graduate - Brown's Peoria Attended Northwestern University Evening Division Numerous courses at Y and Park District over the years in Chicago Work-a-day world became reality in 1943 - Moved to Chicago and was employed as Secretary to Superintendent of Chicago Produce Terminal, which was owned and oper- ated jointly by Santa Fe Illinois Central Railroads. Transferred three months later to executive offices of Santa Fe in the Accounting Department where I worked for the next thirty-two years, advancing from steno to executive secretary to vice- president and controller to manager, records department. Opted for early retire- ment at 55. My primary desire in life was to be a wife and mother! I goofed! World War II made it difficult for many - but life isn't a bowl of cherries but I have had fun. I finally met the man I wanted to be with all the time -- four and a half years later he finally proposed and I had a happy but much too short a marriage, only six years -- he died at forty-one. (Ma iy Jane Ba tetion cont'd) Activities now center around serving on committees of our condo here at the Hancock Center where I live on the 50th floor with a lovely view of Lake Michigan. I'm on the Security Committee and the House and Long Range Planning Committee. Am secretary of the Security Committee and we have been very active, it's almost like working! Also enjoy our lovely pool and the neighborhood is ideal for walking, which I enjoy. Favorite hobby is traveling! Have been around the world on some long flights, great cruises and seen beautiful scenery and there is so much more out there I want to see before outer space! I'm very good at one thing - procrastination! PETTY SNYDER THURMAN Fifty long but short years ago, — much water has flowed under the bridge since having had a sad and yet happy life. I know that all of you have had many hard rows to hoe, if you will excuse the expression, but as you all know I was born a farmerette and am still just a farm girl at heart. Following graduation, I was married in the fall of '37 to a wonderful and always well liked boy from Missouri, Franklin Rensimer. To this union was born four beautiful children, Linda, Orlena, Carol and Gerald. We built and lived at 1416 Finney St. for seventeen years before a severe surgery took his life at the age of 34. He was a Santa Fe conductor for 15 of the 18 years that I knew him. Having met Franklin in a small restaurant called Hanna's and I'm sure familiar to all of you, I returned to the only line of work that I knew how to do - a waitress, to help with the support of our children. I had also worked at Webb's Inn, another familiar famous place to eat. I soon found work at the Lido Cafe, another familiar place, and where I met my present husband, John, another well liked boy, only this time from Arkansas. We married and had two more beautiful children, Cassie and John Thurman, Jr. Our married like now consists of 31 years. Together we raised our six children and remained at the home place at 1416 Finney St. for a total of 35 years for me, before deciding to sell. Since our children have all grown and married to six great sons and daughters-in- law, we sold and moved to the river where we had planned to retire. We also have 17 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, which we are very proud of. However, God had another plan for us. Three years ago this September, we lost our daughter, Carol Ann from diabetes. She was also the founder of the Rainbo Elind Organization but was taken from us at the early age of 39, leaving her husband Russell Sisk and 2 of our grandchildren. When one loses a child or anyone dear to them, there is a great sadness that one doesn't get over, but with God’s help as in the early years of my marriage and family, one survives and are very grateful to have the rest of the family with you all intact. [BETTY THURMAN CONT'V) After living on the river for almost thirteen years, my husband John, retired after 27 years at Bemis Co. We decided to give the river up and move back to Chillicothe. We are presently living at 1608 N. Santa Fe Ave., which is the home of Mr. Brumhead, the grocery man, familiar to all of you in your high school days. We would like very much to be able to remodle this old homestead also, but we find we are just too old and too tired to do that work anymore and so we close and wish all of you a pleasant trip home and a very happy old age! Just remember - You are only as old as you feel . May God Bless you all.

Russ MARGIE ROSE EVANS I married Murl Carr in the summer of '37, when he was an apprentice at Cater- pillar Tractor Co. Our first son, Gary, was born in the summer of '33. Murl graduated from his apprenticeship and went into industrial engineering. We were living in Bloomington, Illinois when our second son. Bob, was born in '43. Murl was drafted shortly before the end of the war, and we returned to Chilli- cothe. After his release, we were blessed (altho it didn't seem so at the time), with twin sons, Steve and Stan. All those diapers every day! Later they cer- tainly turned out to be a blessing. We moved to Champaign, II, then to Waukesha, Wisconsin. There we were intro- duced to the joys of camping, hiking, and really enjoying God's great outdoors. WS bought a home on one of Wisconsin's beautiful lakes, and were blessed again- this time with a daughter, at last! Gary was 18 years old when she was born, so I started again with the diapers. We named her Peggy Jo. We had many happy years living on the lake where everyone enjoyed swimming, boat- ing, fishing, water skiing, snow skiing, skating and camping in the beautiful state and national forests of Wisconsin. We joined N.C.H.A. - National Campers and Hikers, and we still belong to that organization. For many years Murl worked for Evinrude Motors in Milwaukee. I had been a Den Mother, became a Girl Scout Leader and Troop Organizer for our council, worked as singing lady at day camp teaching sorgsto all the troops. I also taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir, and was ordained a Deacon in the Presbyterian Church and served in that capacity for many years. I always loved music and directed Sweet Adeline choruses in Champaign, 111. and Waukesha, Wisconsin. I also played accordian in small combos for awhile before my daughter was born. They LOVE to polka in Wisconsin. Then, in 1966, Murl died of cancer. By that time, Gary and Bob were married, Steve had joined the Air Force (the Vietnam War was on), and Stan was in college. Peggy was ten years old, and it was a time of great adjustment, sadness, and lonliness. I moved back to Waukesha and worked at the YWCA as secretary to the executive director, so that Peggy could come there after school and during the summer. She became involved in Y activities. Later, I took some evening college courses in accounting and went into book- keeping. Peggy was married after five semesters at the Universtiy of Wisconsin, in the summer of '76. By that time, God had sent Milo Evans (a really wonderful human being) into my life. After over ten years of being a widow, Milo and I were married in January, 1977. We took a memorable and exciting trip to beautiful Hawaii. Milo has two daughters, one son, and six grandchildren. My son, Gary, is married to Karlyne, has been with Falk Corp. in Milwaukee for 31 years, lives in Mukwonago, Wis., has a house on Lake Tishigan, and forty acres and an A-frame in the Door County Peninsula. He goes there for deer hunt- ing and says he will retire up there. He has 7 children (one is adopted) and 9 grandchildren. Son Bob lives in DeForest, Wis. near Madison, has his own computer consulting company. Byte Crafters. He is currently President of the DeForest Chamber of Commerce, has been in the U.S. Army Reserves for 19H years and is Commanding Officer of the 220th Medical Detachment. He recently received the Army Com- mendation Medal. His hobby has always been racing, and he is Chief Course Marshal of the Blackhawk Valley Region, Sports Car Club of America, and also Ass11 Chief Course Marshal of Western Michigan. He is married to Carol, a Med- ical Technologist, and has a son Chris and a daughter Kim, who will start at the University of Minnesota this fall. Son Stan, another computer man, is married to Alice, another med. tech. When these four get together it's all shop talk! They have two sons, Jeff and Paul. Stan is Sr. Marketing Research Analyst for Miller Brewing Co. in Milwaukee. He spends untold hours with the Boy Scouts and has been a Scout Master for several years. He has received an Outstanding Citizenship award from Miller's for com- munity service, and recently received the Neekan District Award of Merit from Boy Scouts of America. No. four son, Steve, is the only one who returned to Illinois. He served four years with the U.S. Air Force and two of them were in Tokyo. He is married to Sandy, has a step-son, Matthew, and is Director of Public Works in East Peoria. He has given many volunteer hours to the community and is very involved with their Festival of Lights, designing and building floats. He designed the replica of the Julia Belle Swain in last year's parade, if any of you saw it. He is past President of the J.C.'s, and also the Kiwanis Club. He has received the Dis- tinguished Service Award for Community Service to East Peoria. Peggy Jo has a son and daughter, my youngest of 14 grandchildren. She recently graduated from a travel agent school in Milwaukee, Please forgive all that bragging- but I am proud of them all. They stood by me through some very trying times. Every summer we have a reunion. Last year they bought Mom a hot air balloon ride and I took it the day of the reunion. What a blast-off! It was really great--try it, you'll like it! There have been some really rough times during the last fifty years, but looking back is good for us. It makes us realize that good DOES triumph over bad, that God IS with us all the way, and it strengthens our faith. The world certainly needs as much love as we can give, and more, and the more we give, the more comes our way. So I wish you all much, much LOVE, and peace. Others who attended the class of '37: GRACE MARTIN BEEBE In May of 1937 I married Clyde Beebe, whom many of you probably know. I have remained in Chillicothe since then, in fact. In the same house since 1940. Our son, Clyde Jr., was born in June of 1944. He presented us with our one and only granddaughter on June 12, 1978. Clyde retired in 1972 and we have enjoyed his retirement very much. This year in May we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. When one writes it down, it sounds like it must have been dull, but with ups and downs it has been great so far - and we hope to have many more years together, God willing. MARJORIE CRUMRINE (HOWARD) GALLUP AND BOB GALLUP I was married and had one daughter who has four sons. I lost my husband after 38 years of marriage. I worked for the Chillicothe Water Department for sever- al years. I also have had a real estate license for almost 30 years. I met Bob six years ago - again - and we have been married 45s years. We live on the farm and it has been wonderful. We have four great grandchildren, two grandsons in the Navy, one car salesman and one still at home. Bob says to tell you he didn't do anything - which is not true. He has farmed until open heart surgery and was an insurance broker, and traveled a lot. MARY SCHMIDT ZIMMER I I was married to Willie Zimmer June 1, 1937. We had two children. Bill was born April 6, 1938. Thirteen years later we had a daughter. Pamela Jane was born April 20, 1951. They are both married and lived in Varna, until last July. Pam and family moved to Metropolis, Illinois. Bill has two daughters, Gail and Sheryl who have recently been married in the last year and a half. Bill is going to be a grandfather and I a great-grandmother the first time. Pam is married to a Lutheran minister. They have been married twelve years and have a son, Steven who is years old and who I miss so much since they moved to Metropolis. It is 350 miles from Lacon. I have worked for a lot of people, but for the last twenty-six years I have worked for Dr. S.M. and Dr. F.M. Garrett as a Dental Assisstant, which I love very much. I lost my husband with heart problems Sept. 4, 1985, so I am thankful I had a job. It helps to heal the loss. My husband and I always enjoyed working and going places together, and that is what I miss. MARY KAY HUFFMAN (DEAN) SCOTT We have just returned from Chillicothe. Our granddaughter graduated from High School (IVC) and we went up for that, so I don't think I will be back August 15th. Dean had his 50th reunion in 1984 and we did enjoy seeing so many that we had not seen in years. Dean retired in 1977 after 40 years with Santa Fe and we have enjoyed Florida each winter, however last year we sold our home in Chillicothe and moved here We have one daughter (Sandy) and she is married to Steve Stinespring and they have two children, Stevie and Stephanie. Our son-in-law is retiring after 35 years with Caterpillar on July 1st. We had our 50th wedding anniversary last year. It was nice to hear from you. I know that you and the ones that can make it will have a great time. Enjoy! DOROTHY SHAW BEDDOW During my last two years in school I worked at Shore Acres and from there I went to Bergner's. Then I went on to the Rock Island Arsenal. Getting mar- ried was the end of the work. We had one son, Dennis, who lives about ten miles from here. My husband was a fisherman and my son is a hunter. Of course I am a widow as of a year and a half ago. I am looking forward to seeing you people! HENRY (HANK) FOSTER I married Merry Carol Justice after high school. We have had six children, five boys and one girl. They are all married and we have twelve grand- chi 1dren. I have been a farmer all my life, farming around Chillicothe. I have been retired for five years. My wife and I live on our farm on Rome West Road near Chillicothe. My hobbies are crossword puzzles, wood cutting and visiting with friends. IN MEMORIAM MAXINE TUCKER KOKJOHN Mackie and Kok have five beautiful children. They were all raised in Ft. Madison, Iowa. Vicki Kokjohn graduated from the University of Iowa, married Ron Anthony and has three boys. Tucker Kokjohn graduated from the University of Utah, married and has two boys. Cynthia Kokjohn graduated from the University of Iowa, married Jerry Guercio and has one daughter. Priscilla Kokjohn graduated from the University of Iowa, married Robert Lane, has two sons. Dundeana Kokjohn graduated from the University of Iowa, married Dave Langer. Mackie and Kok were killed in a car accident September, 1981. These children lost wonderful parents who dearly loved them and all their grandchildren. The families have missed their cheerful smiles, but most of all their love. They have gone on with their lives and Mackie would be so proud of them. It is so sad that Mackie isn't here to help celebrate your 50th reunion - how she would have enjoyed it! I know that she was a happy girl, enjoyed you all and had fun during her school years. I'm sure she will be taking a little peek tonight in her own, mischievous way. Just keep remembering the good times you all had together until you meet again. By her sister Fern, who loved her dearly, and we all miss her so very much. (Thank you. Fern. We can just see Mackie grinning at us, too! ) ANNA CLAYCOMB HOSTER In thinking back, I realize there are dates I should remember and don't, such as just when Ann and Vernon Hoster were married. He was the first from Chillicothe to be called for Selective Service. They were married just before he went over- seas. After the war, they lived in Chillicothe for a short time, then moved to the southwest, first Texas, then Oklahoma. They had four sons - Craig, the twins, Keith and Kirk, and Clay. Two of the boys live in Texas, and two in Oklahoma. Ann and Vern died in May, 1970 and were bur- ied in Oklahoma City. I certainly miss Ann, and Vesta, who died in 1979. Dean and Marian live in Mich- igan and will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary July 25. By Ann's sister, Ruth Brumhead (Byron) IN MEMORIAM HAROLD RISEN Harold worked for J. C. Penney Co.

Illinois 60426 May 26, 1987 Dear Margie, Thank you for the invitation to your 50th class reunion. It warmed the cockles of my heart to know that I was remembered after fifty-one years. How I would like to visit with each member of the class; however, that will not be possible as I will be in Europe during August and Sep- tember . After I left Ohillicothe in 1936, I went back to the university and earned two degrees, and then accepted a position at Northwestern Univer- sity in the School of Business until I married. I then taught psychology to graduating seniors at a large suburban high school near our home. Life continues to be rich, rewarding, and challenging. Carlton and I love to travel. We have been around the world, have repeated many of the countries, have had six African safaris, and spend two months in Europe each year. une of the highlights of my life was being at Oxford and Cambridge universities in England. There are no classrooms; tutors are assigned for each discipline, and you dig out all of the information—a real edu- cation . I keep in touch with Gladys Morrison, Opal McKray, and Maurine Mor- gan Mitchell. I had a delightful hour with Mae Dona Deames several weeks ago. We have a very busy life traveling, attending food shows, dining and dancing at Carlton's clubs, attending our Travelog Series, the Council of Foreign Affairs meetings, our church guilds, substituting at three subur- ban high schools, volunteering at our 700-bed hospital, tending 200 feet of roses and a flower garden where all of the seeds are from England. My favorite is the MALLOW. I first saw it at the entrance to St. Paul's Cathedral in London. And there has been sadness, too. I have lost my parents, brother, and sister. We blink our eyes, and childhood years are gone I I would like to have a copy of the booklet, the names and addresses of the members of the class, and letters and pictures from all of you. I will be in Ireland on August 15, but I will be with you in spirit. ncerely, ROBERT ANDERSON 424 W. Hickory St., Chillicothe, IL 61523 JOSEPH BOYLAN 2120 W.
