MAROON AND BLACK Student Council OFFICERS President.................Daniel Daugherty Secretary..................Harriett Russell Advisor.........................Mr. Adams SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN Jack Weber Walter Stephenson Donald Woodruff Mary Jane Potter Rosemary Daugherty Louise Hart Thelma Harvey Charles Cameron Harriett Russell Harrison Price John Kelly Daniel Daugherty Lucille Foster In the spring of 1936 the idea of a student form of government was brought to the students by our principal, Mr. Adams. 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 Senior Play CAST OF CHARACTERS Elliott........... Judy.............. Marian............ Sam.............. Douglas Blackwell Laurette.......... Willowy.......... Inspector......... Miss Brown........ .....Bruce Freer ..Lucille LeViness ....Esther Kelley ...Howard Risen .....Harold Risen ...Maxine Tucker ....Clarence Neal Daniel Daugherty ...Barbara Bewlah SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior class of the Chillicothe Township High School presented their annual class play under the capable direction of Miss Opal Mc- Kray- The play, “Spooks,” a melodrama in three acts, was very successfully given, and the parts were very suitably taken by the cast. 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
