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.

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.
