We discovered that it took hard study, but it meant more than that. We have all had innumerable good times and have made many fine friendships during our four years. The big event of this year was the Freshman party given for the purpose of initiating us. During the end of the year we gave a return party for the other students at school. During our second year we had our opportunity to get even by initiating the new freshmen and we did a very good job of it by initiating them all, the day of the Freshman party. The next year our Junior play, “The Gay Deception,” given on November 13, was a great success. “Harlem on Parade,” an all colored performance, was presented at the school under the auspices of our class. Our Junior dance was given in February. The most memorable feature of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet given by the Junior class on May 1. The gym was effectively decorated as a May flower garden. Our Senior play, “Stop Thief,” was given in November. A Junior-Senior hunt was also enjoyed this year. In March a Senior dance was held at the high school and was well attended. Another red-letter day for the Seniors was the Junior-Senior Banquet.

Senior Class History (Continued) The Seniors have been very active in athletics during all four years, and have helped bring many honors to the school. Many Seniors have helped with the Tempest and Year Book for several years. The students that have left our class since 1934 are: Marius Beams, Orlajane Crutchfield, Dale Hendryx, Louise Johnson, Voncelle 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 bauwitz, Annabelle Johnson, Emily Ross, Lois Trimble, Norman Crew, Frank Drewett, Andy Montonye, Lois Camp, Margaret Kimble, Pauline Lopez, Wilma Rogers, Dorothy See, Lucille Wilson, Mae Wishall, Vernalea Smith, Bernard Schmidt, and Carl Windaugh. New students that have joined our class are Richard Coster, Gail Meyers, Albert Unser, Darlene Johnson, June McCullough, Virginia McCormick, and Mary Ellen Lukehart. Not only do we have quantity, but also quality; for we have accomplished many things through the cooperation and loyalty of the members of our class, and we have supported the school in all of its activities. Now that we have finished this journey, and are approaching a longer and more difficult one, we can only look back with mingled pleasure and regret in leaving our dear Alma Mater and friends. 8 JUNIORS H.

Wilhelm, J. Truitt, B. Stewart, B. Weber JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Bang! The bomb had exploded and two hundred and forty-one students invaded C. H. S. one September day in ’37. For the first two months the upper classmen stepped back and let the Freshmen and Sophomores have the spotlight for the Freshmen Initiation Party and Sophomore Carnival. The Juniors then started the ball rolling on November 3 with the Junior-Senior hunt. Due to the mouselike dispositions of the Seniors, the Juniors were unable to locate their hiding place, which they found later to be the second floor of the Congregational Church. The Juniors, having lost the hunt, gave the Seniors a chilli supper at school a few days later. On January 14 the juniors again burst forth. This time with a cake- walk which accompanied one of the season’s basketball games. It was a huge success and—Yum Yum! the cakes were delicious. 9 JUNIORS J. Ramos, W. Applcn, J. Haas, VV.

The entertainment con- sisted of selections by grade and high school students. A good time was enjoyed by all who attended. The junior class play, given April 12, was a success both dramatic- ally and financially. The Juniors consider it quite an honor to have had the editor for the “Tempest” chosen from their class. Miss Dorothy Leiner was chosen to fill this position. Dorothy gives her time freely and is faithful to the staff. She has been a great help in making our paper the success that it now is. Our class is still keeping in good form scholastically if I may judge by the honor roll. The following have withdrawn since September: Mary Louise Hen- drickson, Jack Kelley, Hazel Madearis. Jay Taylor, Pauline Kokemuller. Not in pictures: Edna Camp, James Snyder, D. Woodruff. 10 SOPHOMORES R. Cleveland, R. Cooper, H. Freer, L. Huckins, K. Claybaugh, G. Johnson, W. Hall, R. Fessenden, R.

THE FRESHMAN PARTY The 1937-38 Freshman will, no doubt, remember Saturday night, October 30th, as an evening of fright, embarrassment, laughter, and a pang of pain, which was furnished by the villians of the day, the Sophomores. After being initiated into Chilli Hi, the Freshmen were sent off the stage with a bang which was swung by some members of the Sophomore class. To ease the feelings of the Freshmen, towards us, refreshments were served to the Freshmen, the rest of the school, and their guests. Nearly everyone took their part in the evening’s entertainment, when the music, furnished by a popular dance orchestra began, and everyone got into the spirit of rhythm. The Freshmen have one consolation—they will be able to take their spite out on next year’s Freshmen. 11 SOPHOMORES E. Ramsay, J. Rouse, T. Murray, H. Philyaw, C. Nixon, W. Thompson. E. Sweeney, D.

Walkup. □ THE SOPHOMORE CARNIVAL October 9 opened another carnival in our high school, in which everyone enjoyed themselves. Although there were no merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels, whips, and the surroundings for the carnivals that come to our town in the summer time, you could walk into our gym and find any number of amusements for everyone. There was a small admission charge at each booth not exceeding five cents. There was a refreshment stand open during the evening also, which was kept busy feeding hungry mouths. All the dance lovers came running when nine-thirty rolled around and the orchestra began to play. Indications showed that everyone had a splendid time, as all Sophomores hoped they would. 12 FRESHMEN J. Edwards, L. Boylan, P. Boylan, P. Lopez, E. Agrue, K. Mitchell, A. Blase, J. Grossenbocher, T.

Bartolomea CLASS HISTORY The Freshies opened the year in September with a roll of 69. The Sophs really did a job of pouring it on on Freshman Day, October 30, and then summed up on the following Saturday night. Octo- ber 31, with the Freshman party. The Freshies built their treasury by selling subscriptions for maga- zines. A roll was taken by the Freshmen the first of the year to see who the class officers should be, which proved Miss Morrison as class advisor; Wayne Sager, president; Robert Stephenson, vice-president; Muriel Underwood, secretary, and treasurer, and Mary Ellen Mattice and Robert Rose as delegates for thq Student Council. A return party for the Sophomores was not thought advisable be- cause the money should be used for the Freshman party next year. 13 FRESHMEN A. Placher, D. Medina, R. Stephenson, W. Sager, R. Rose, W. Reed, W. Watkins, B. Vonk, W. Sarver, F. Welch. J. Pappas, I. Wishall, P. Wishall, M. Underwood, M. Mattice, W. Shepard, P. Shepard. 1. Mason, B. Olson, 1. Windaugh, J. Todd, P. Wells, D. Herriman, F. Reed. The staff of the yearbook wishes to remind the read- ers of Jake Webber—who was a member of the class of ’38 —and have placed his name here before the list of activi- ties, of which he was an ardent devotee. We pay our re- spects to a friend and classmate, Jacob Webber. 14 The Science Club was organized at the beginning of the year with the help of Mr. Parvin. The two projects for the year were microscopic work and photography. Bill Bawcombe and Dan Daugherty made an enlarger which was very successful. They have now gone into the business of developing pictures. Walt Stephenson brought some old glass plates showing pictures of Chillicothe in 1890. Prints were made from these plates. Through the courtesy of Kendall Oil Company, Mr. Crutchfield showed us moving pictures of the air races, boat races and the burning of the Hindenburg. 15 COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The commercial department is one of the largest departments in the school. There are nearly ninety students enrolled, and many of these are taking three different commercial subjects. Although there are still approximately two months of school at this writing, several of the students have already made the speed require- ments in shorthand for the year. The following students have successfully passed their 60-word tests in shorthand: Jeanette Ransom, Kathryn Stewart, Nadine Dillow. In the beginning typing classes several of the students are able to write with a net speed of fifty or more words per minute. Others are writing with a speed of forty or more. In the advanced shorthand class the following students earned 100- word certificates in the month of February: Helen Boehle, Louise Hart, Marjorie Lynds, June McCullough, Margie Wilhelm, Mary Jane Mc- Kibben, Marjorie Mead, Virginia Routh, Janet Staab, and Deloris Mullen. Since then these students have also achieved the higher goal of 120 words per minute: Louise Hart, Marjorie Lynds, June McCullough, Margie Wilhelm, Helen Boehle, Marjorie Mead, Virginia Routh, and Mary Jane McKibben. Most of the others are near this goal and will perhaps reach it before the end of the year. At the present writing, Louise Hart, in the advanced typing class, has received an award of superior merit for writing with five or less errors for a period of ten minutes at 64 words per minute. The following have received 50-word competent typist pins: Helen Boehle, Louise Hart, Marjorie Lynds, June McCullough, Marjorie Mead, Deloris Mullen, Ruby Raine, Janet Staab, and Margie Wilhelm. 16 STUDENT COUNCIL YV. Stephenson, R. Rose. A. Harrison, Mr. Adams. R. Cleveland. R. Taylor. D. Leiner, T. Harvey, M. Stephenson, M. Potter, A. Gollnitz, M. Mattice, L. Foster. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council started its second year of existence in the fall of 1937 with four members being held over from the previous year. The Student Council has not tried to sponsor any major activity this year except support an athletic fund. It was largely through the cooperation of the Student Council that our basketball squad was able to have new suits this year. Early last fall a refreshment stand was installed during the fall festival. The Student Council has been promoting the sale of candy and pencils all year. These and many more activities have aided the athletic association. On October 29 and 30 the Student Council was invited to attend the second annual Pekin district convention of Student Councils which was held at Woodruff High School in Peoria. A large part of the Council were in attendance and were represented by Walter Stephenson in a panel discussion. The Student Council also sent a delegation to the State Convention of Student Councils which was held at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois, on April 1 and 2. Our Student Council was represented by Anna Marie Gollnitz in a panel discussion. It would be altogether fitting at this time to acknowledge the fact and great honor bestowed on our council and school as a whole that Dorothy Leiner, a junior member of the council, has been elected second vice-president of the State organization, and also was elected vice-president of the Pekin District organization. At present we are working on several events, but none can compare with the service offered by creating a better understanding between the faculty and students. 17 BAND S. Shepard, J. Staab, A.

The Chillicothe High and Grade School Combined Band opened its season by playing at the Chillicothe Fall Festival held on October 3, 1937. At this time the band marched on the main streets and gave a concert in the park. New uniforms had been ordered for this occasion but had not arrived. This festival proved to be a gala night for all those who participated in it. On October 23, 1937, our band took part in the Sixth Annual Fall Band Festi- val held in Peoria, sponsored by the Byerly Music Store. Approximately thirty bands participated in the parade which began at 9:30 a. m. After the parade all bands assembled in front of the Court House and a mass band was directed by Mr. A. A. Harding, director of the Illinois Concert Band. After lunch a helpful and constructive band clinic was held for all the members of the bands. To add to the interest of the festival a band queen was chosen from each school to represent her band. Later in the afternoon, during the intermission of the Illinois Concert Band, the queen of the festival was chosen from the girls who represented their band. Miss Genevieve Reffert was chosen queen of the Chillicothe Band. Miss Jane Houghton of Galva, Illinois, was chosen as queen of the Sixth Annual Fail Band Festival. One must not forget to mention Miss Marjorie Mead, who was our very capable drum major throughout the year. This festival left another pleasant day to add to our memories. On Armistice Day, Thursday, November 11, 1937, our band assisted in the Armistice services held at the Grade School by the American Legion. At 2:30 p. m. the band played on the football field for Chilli’s last game of the season against El Paso. (Continued to Page 54) 18 SENIOR PLAY B. Feldman, G. Rcffert, YV. Stephenson, J. Sweeney. B. Underwood, Miss McKray, Director; W. Beck, B. Veerman, G. Behrens, G. Meyers, A. Harrison, J. Stewart. R. King, M. Mead, P. Leincr, R. Raine, A. Gollnitz, J. Holmes. STOP THIEF “Stop Thief,” a farce in three acts, was presented by the members of the Senior Class, November 19. Paul Leiner as a forgetful father, Anna Marie Gollnitz and her tears on her wedding day. Walt Stephenson as a smart cop, and Jean Holmes with screams of excitement added to the complication of the affair. Trying to stop the thief was indeed a problem. The stage setting could easily have been that of a mad house because everything was in a bedlam. But as all good stories are bound to come to an end, they (three couples) were married and lived happily ever after. Miss McKray, who so willingly gave of her time to direct, is included in adding to the success of “Stop Thief.” The cast played before a large audience both at the matinee and evening per- formance. Close to $50 was cleared, which will be added to the sum for a class memorial. 19 OPERETTA “AN OLD KENTUCKY GARDEN” An operetta based on the music of Stephen Foster was presented by the music classes of the Chillicothe High School February 19, 1938, directed by Opal McKray. An atmosphere of southern folks and their hospitality brought out by southern dances and Stephen Foster’s lovable and ever popular music was well received by two audiences. Many persons were unable to attend the first performance on February 19 due to the weather conditions and a second performance was given on February 23. By virtue of a fine operetta, the music classes were able to show a marked increase in the treasury department. 20 JUNIOR PLAY Ii Weber, H. Reed, R. Taylor, H. Beck, G. Anderson, V. Claycomb, F. Coon, N. Dillow, J. Tucker, D. Leiner. The Junior Class of Chillicothe High School presented “Meet the Duchess” by James Reach, Tuesday evening, April 12, 1938, produced by special arrangement with Samuel French. Indeed it was “Meet the Duchess,” in fact meet all the would-be actors and actresses. The cast of characters took their parts splendidly. The play was a three- act comedy, but it served as a whole evening’s entertainment, for the laughs were so plentiful. A short synopsis follows: “Meet the Duchess” is the low-down on Hollywood and the movies in a happy and timely comedy which proved to be a pure delight to our audience. The main plot concerns the romance between Elsie Blake and Ronnie Ward. One of the high- l’ghts is the hilarious scene when Sam Strudel comes to the boarding house seeking a mysterious duchess who is rumored to be staying there incognito. The play abounds in movie atmosphere and affords a true and amusing cross-section of life in Hollywood.

The party was held in Room 206 and was decorated with autumn leaves, corn stalks, and ribbons of orange and black crepe paper. They enjoyed various games for which the winners received prizes. The supper was served in buffet style, and after the delicious meal they danced and enjoyed a treasure hunt. The Annual Mothers Tea was held December 1st in the gymnasium. Christmas colors and decorations were carried out attractively. The tasty refreshments were cooked and served by the foods class. Some seventy-five mothers were served. The program was presented by students of the school and Miss Alden s clothing class gave a style show and showed some of the attractive things they had made in clothing class. Also in December the Foods Class and Home Economics Class served a chilli luncheon at school, due to the change in the temperature, for the ones who brought their lunches and would enjoy a hot meal and for the ones who had quite a distance to go. There were about fifty at the luncheon. On Monday evening, February 7th, the Freshman Home Economics Class gave their Valentine party from 6:00 to 9:15. The evening was spent very quickly by playing games and dancing. The lunch was served at 6:00 and Valentines were exchanged with one another. 22 Tempest and Year Book Staffs R. Taylor, R. Sweeney, M.

The theme used for table decoration and the food were appropriate to the occa- sion of Washington’s Birthday. After the dinner they were invited to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adams, where they played games. 23 LITERARY MUSIC CONTEST Again came the time of the year when any student desiring had the opportunity of “showing off,” as one might state it, his talents, and well one could be proud of himself for doing so.

The following list of students were entered in the various divisions: Dramatic Reading: Mary Stephenson and Norma Woodruff. Humorous Reading: Bette Weber, Adele Zimmerman, Louise Hart, Robert Sturm, and Mary Jane Potter. Vocal: Lyman Huckins, Wallace, Sturm, Gene Behrens, Bob Rose, Virginia Foster, Kathryn Walkup, Mary Ellen Mattice, and Evadale Hoisington. Piano: Janet Staab, Mary Ellen Mattice, and Velma Harvey. Oration: Walter Stephenson. 24 BAND MOTHERS’ CLUB The splendid organization of the Band Mothers' Club was organized in August of the year 1937. There are approximately forty members in this club. An election was held at the beginning of the year and the following officers were chosen: President___________________________________Mrs. Charles Shepard Vice-President________________________________Mrs. Elmer Thomas Secretary and Treasurer___________________________Mrs. R. J. Yost This fine organization has accomplished a great deal for the Chillicothe School Band. Among their accomplishments are completing the uniforms and buying a complete drum major’s suit, a bass horn, and a beautiful school banner. During the winter the Band Mothers’ Club sponsored a band festival, the first to be given in Chillicothe. They are planning to make this an annual affair. The school greatly appreciates the splendid work of the band mothers. 25 G. A. A L. Veerman, M. Gasaway, R. Davidson, M. McKibben. M. Potter, H. Reed, M. Stephenson, N. Woodruff, B. Weber, B.

A., as they have the largest number of G. A. A. members. There are 45 members. The first meeting was called to make plans for the play day, which was held at Canton, November 5. The next meeting was called for membership drive to see which side could get the most new members. The captains were Vivian LeViness and Mary Carroll. In November a letter day assembly was given in the gymnasium when the girls were presented with the G. A. A. awards and also the winning intra-mural girls basket- ball letters were awarded. The honor for designing a new first G. A. A. award goes to Maje Potter. The new standard size chosen for the girls' intra-mural basketball award was designed by Adele Zimmerman. In December the girls’ intra-mural basketball teams and captains were chosen. The first game was December 9. 26 BUILDING AND TRADES Mr. Hale, Instructor; J. Chittenden, J. Snyder. R. Bauer, C.

They also divided the girls up into different various ping-pong teams and time set for bowling. Girls’ volley ball was played on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon, while bowling was on Thursday evenings. In February the meeting was called for girls to take over plans for a Valentine party and to class membership contest. Each side had the same number of new paid members so a committee from each side planned the pot-luck supper. The girls decided that they wanted G. A. A. pins and made plans to send for the first order of pins. On Wednesday evening, February 9, the G. A. A. members gave their Valentine party in the high school gym from 6:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m. A delicious pot-luck supper was served to some 45 members. The girls played various games and ex- changed Valentines. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing to the music of a new Zenith radio furnished by Robert Hicks. During the evening, Anna Marie Gollnitz was presented with a G. A. A. pin and a card from the G. A. A. members. By signing the card, each girl expressed her congratulations to Anna Marie Gollnitz for winning the I). A. R. award and for having had such a splendid record for president of the G. A. A. for two years. 27 ATHLETICS COACH MR. KEITHLEY Coach Virgil E. Keithley, for eight years head coach at Chillicothe Township High School, will not only be remembered by those boys who played in athletic competition for him as an outstanding coach but as a fine fellow for whom to work. They not only thought of him as their coach but also their friend and pal. To you Coach Keithley we wish the best of luck and success in building cham- pionship teams in the future. 28 FOOTBALL 1937 The fool ball schedules for the past several years do not show a decided balance in the matter of won and lost games at home. The team of 1937 has the distinction of being a splendid home crowd team and did not lose a scheduled game on our own gridiron. In night games. Eureka, Peoria Manual (Sophs), and Wyoming, were overcome while the Armistice Day’s game, played in the afternoon, was a fitting climax for the season in a great victory by a score of 6-3. On four Friday afternoons the locals played abroad and, although playing creditably, they were overcome by stiff opposition from Washington, Toulon, Bradford, and East Peoria. The offensive for the season was directed by Bernie (Red) Jones, who finished out a four-year service for Chilli High at the quarterback position. The defensive ability of Bill Bawcombe, giant tackle, made him outstanding in his final year of competition as a player to call defensive formation after a careful diagnosis of oppo- nents’ weaknesses. Lettermen back for another year of competition also included Harrison, Freer, Behrens, Cleveland and Sweeney. Harrison, Behrens and Sweeney were in their Senior year, while Cleveland and Freer played in 1937. Upper classmen who played an important role this year were Leiner, Yeerman, Coster and Reed (Seniors), Piognant and Rouse (Juniors), Cooper, W. Sturm and R. Sturm (Sophs), Rose, Sager, Holmes, R. Stephenson and Sefried (Freshmen).

Last year’s squad was successful in winning all of tlu‘ir scheduled games with the exception of the last game played on the Princeville diamond. The heavy work was carried out by Jones (catcher), Harvey (pitcher), Trumbold (first base), Stephenson (second base), Medina (shortstop), Leiner (third base), G. An- derson (left field), Poignant (center field), and C. Anderson (right field). The only regular lost by graduation was Russell Trumbold, a four-sport man and Kiwanis Award winner. Each year the baseball squad becomes larger and this spring has proved no exception as a total of 35 boys have reported for the pastime. Cold weather has held back a spirited squad and only a few practice sessions have been held. The opening game will be played at Dunlap on April 12. Poignant, veteran center fielder, will be stationed at first base and Ramos, a newcomer, will see service in center field. Promis- ing recruits are Sefried and Behrens (catchers); Cleveland, Sager, R. Stephenson, Meyers, and D. Medina (infielders); Lopez, Holmes, Unser, Murray, Arnold, and Sweeney (outfielders). 31 TRACK A track squad of 37 boys has reported this year and are working hard to uphold the prestige of other track teams of the past. As only three experienced boys are available, this promises to be a most difficult task. Jones is rounding out his four years of athletics by again taking care of the weight events. Stewart is back again in his specialty, the 880-yard run, after a rather poor Junior year due to sickness. Cleveland, a member of last year’s relay team, will probably take part in the dashes this year. The team will find the additional boys in competition: Sager, McLain, and Blanchard (dashes and relay): Holmes, Lopez, R. Sturm, Coster Sefried, Norton, and Reed (distance runs); Myers, Leiner, Unser, and Veerman (hurdles); Poignant, Sweeney, Shepard, W. Sturm, Rose, and Pasdick (weights); Harvey, Saad, Murray, Stephenson, and Woodruff (jumps). The usual hard schedule of meets is nearing completion with dual engagements with Eureka, East Peoria, Henry, Princeville, and Washington. Glasford and Dunlap will be met in a triangular affair and there invitational meets will be attended. Peoria Armory Indoor Meet, Bradford Relays and Lincoln Junior Relays. The dis- trict meet will be held in Peoria on May 14, and the Annual Peoria County Meet will be at Chillicothe on May 11. Competition that may prove unsurmountable is expected from Elmwood and Brimfield. But we know that Chilli’s men will fight their hardest and will receive the fullest support of the school. 32 GOOD SCHOOLS and SOUND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS arc RAL RESERVE I I I I I FEDERAL RESERVE ■ SYSTEM dM the marks of a PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY w THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK Affiliated Under the Banking Act of 1933 with THE PEOPLES BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION Chillicothe’s Largest Financial Institution Complete Financial Service OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS Frank E.

CHILLICOTHE BAND (Continued From Page 18) February 2, 1938, the Chillicothe Band invited the Lacon, Dunlap, and Prince- ville bands to be its guest at an evening festival held on that date. Each band played several special selections. Mr. Saxton, who directs the four bands, directed them in a mass band. Part of the evening was devoted to moving pictures taken at the Byerly Band Festival on October 23. This was the first festival ever given by Chillicothe and was thought a great success. CONTEST On March 25, 1938, the Chillicothe Band motored to Rock Island, Illinois, to compete in the Northwestern Band Contest. Each band played three numbers, a required number, a march, and an overture. The numbers played by the Chillicothe Band were: Soldier of Fortune, Tschiakowsky, and Quality Plus. Our band placed first in Class C division. The latter part of April the band played at Champaign, Illinois to compete for State honors. We wish to acknowledge the courtesy and help extended by the fol- lowing people: L. E. Clark, photographer, Indianapolis Engraving Company, and Mr. Bruce Cunningham, who took a few of the pictures. We also feel that this would be the proper place to express our thanks to the local advertisers whose cooperation has made this book possible. —M iss Hurt and Mr. Church. September 24—Friday.
