'Dean, Diany Golly, the summer went fast. It's hard to believe, but here I am back at school again. In a way I'm glad. Working downtown was fun for a change, and those picnics the gang held down at Detweiller and out in the country were delish—but there's some- thing about going back to school that feels pretty good, too. I guess maybe it's seeing all the kids again, and the games and good times we have throughout the year. Ye Olde Chilli High looks pretty much the same, except that Harve has done ’a grand job refinishing the building. The Study Hall desks look like new. Why? Because the initials of the grue- some twosomes of bygone days have been sanded off and the desks are sporting new coats of varnish. No more will we be sitting at our desk, writing leisurely away, and then all of a sudden have our pencil hit a groove and leave a nice hole in the middle of a theme we've already copied twice. Love it! Love it! Almost every year some kids start expressions that soon become old favorites around the school, and this year is no exception. Whadaya say? is really out of this world when Bill Sturgeon or Jack ''Pod'' Mooney utter it. You mad? I ain’t mad! also arose to popularity at this time. We have the most agreeable school no one is ever mad. Most of the teachers are back, too. No matter how you feel about teachers when you have an English theme or a chemistry outline due the next day, you've got to admit you miss them a little during vacation. There I was. walking up the steps of the lab (and trying to talk over my shoulder to Nadine at the same time) when I bumped smack into Mr. Nothdurft. I guess no one was hurt, for he simply smiled and said good morning as if nothing had happened. Miss Morrison is back too, and teaching Trig this year. I wish I could be a BRAIN in math some time, but I ain't mad. (See! Everyone's saying it.) Miss Gerber and Miss Hurt are teaching commercial courses. Spanish is another of Miss Gerber's duties. It certainly is catching, for most of the Spanish students have a brogue—or is it an accent? Miss Hurt is busy giving speed tests in typing and shorthand. Oh, will I ever pass that stuff? Attempting to teach the girls the arts of cullery and sewing is Mrs. Pruett's job. She is the one with the hubby in the Marines—and she is proud of him, too. Mr. Mercer has the F. F. A. and the Ag class to contend with; and Mr. Bohannon guides the biology, chemistry, and physics classes through the rough spots. Mr. Wee Willie Orville Nothdurft (M.A., Northwestern University), has been the capable, well-liked principal at CHS for nearly three years. In February, his family welcomed a new arrival to their home at 444 North Fourth street. The little lady's name is Janis Ann. Mr. Nothdurft was pestered several days for cigars. Wilkinson teaches English and speech, leaving Mr. Jordan to in- struct the classes in history. Alas, history! That still leaves five new teachers. Mr. Plapp. a jovial fellow. is director of band and chorus. He also has a brother-in-law who flew an airplane in a picture with VAN JOHNSON!! Oh. Brother-in- law! Mr. Taylor, a favorite of the girls, is our new coach. Miss Moulton is the new librarian and English teacher. She is making great improvements ir. our library, which is now down in the Ag room. Then comes our little Southern gym teacher, Miss Cren- shaw. She came straight from Kaintucky. Miss Martens is the new English and Latin teacher. She also has the Tempest to worry about. Now. last but not least, are our faithful Louise. Harve, Mr. Stewart, and Bucky, four very essential factors of Chillicothe High School. After all, someone has to keep the records straight, the rooms clean, the floors swept, and the bus running. Well. Diary, it is time for me to sign off. I am still dazzled by the privileges of being a senior (though goodness only knows that I've worked hard enough to be one). It will take a while to get used to the lockers, the exclusive use of Senior Hall, and the back seats in the study hall; but it is so-ooo-ooooo nice being a senior. This year promises to have many interesting moments— including a certain good-looking fellow who has the locker two doors down the hall from me. Ah-h! Goodbye for now. Diary. Genial. well-grocmed Gladys Morrison (B.S., Monmouth) teaches five math courses at Chilli High. An innovation of the 1945-46 schedule was a new trigonometry course. Miss Morrison s keen mind finds relaxation in her bridge game and in bowling. To learn the way to a man's heart , consult Mrs. Dorothy Pruett (B.S., University of Illinois), head of Chilli's homo economics department. It s in her classes that those future housewives of local America are trained in the culinary arts. The annual Style Show sponsored by Mrs. Pruett attracted its usual large audience. Girls exhibited their homemade dresses, women sipped tea and crunched on cookies, and everyone had a nice time. That tall, good-looking woman you see hurrying through the halls with her arms weighted down by speed test papers is Pauline Hurt (B.Ed., Illinois State Normal University). As head of the commercial department. Miss Hurt is remembered for her genuine interest in students and in the preparation they make for business careers. The faithful adviser of the SCRIBE. Wayne Wilkinson (B.Ed.. Normal University), teaches classes of English and dramatics to CHS students. Willie coached the very original Our Town to a smashing success, which was followed by Nine Girls, another hit. In his not-so-spare time, he adds to his collection of Ellington, Stravinsky, and Prokofieff records and tries to improve his bridge technique. This good-natured teacher is rated tops with all the kids at Chilli. Ethel Gerber (B.Ed., Normal University) introduced Spanish to the CHS curriculum in 1944, and last year an advanced class was added to the beginning group. Miss Gerber cops honors among the faculty for athletic participation, being adept in ice- skating. swimming, bowling, and horseback-riding. Fred Bohannon (A.B., Knox College) taught science classes during the absence of Jean Parvin. who was in service. Mr. Bohannon's gentility and good humor made him a favorite among both students and faculty. In 1945 he organized the Science club. Last January he left Chillicothe to take a position at the high school in Mabton, Washington. Energetic, dynamic George Mercer (M.A., University of Illinois) gives instiuction to Chilli's rural youth. We remember him for the improvements made in the Farm Shop, the GI education program, and the seventh hour study hall. As No. 1 agriculturist of CHS. Mr. Mercer is adviser to FFA members. Heart-throb of Chilli High is George Taylor (B.S.. Eureka College), the coach who led the basketball squad to its best season in seven years. Taylors shy smile, rugged humor, and engaging manner made him a favorite with the feminine element of CHS from the moment he stepped before assembly to predict the results of the Washington game. “A peach, a dream .... (in the words of the school cheer)—that's the Coach. The red-haired history teacher, William Jordan (B.A.. Bradley), can be seen riding his bicycle up the winding drive of Chilli High every morning about 8:00. A devotee of history, he likes to bury himself in books with historical backgrounds and biographies. Flash takes a good deal of kidding about his budget. Every other Tuesday night he attends the Chilli- cothe Choral Society. Just finishing her first year of teaching at Chillicothe. and her second year anywhere, is Kathryn Martens IB.Ed., Normal University). With her help, a Tempest was stirred up every two weeks. This year, for the first time, it was printed by the Bulletin office. Miss Martens has a sharp sense of the dramatic, whether she be (note the subjunctive mood) emoting as Lady Macbeth or declining a Latin noun. First full-time librarian at CHS in many a year is Merietta Moulton (B.Ed., Illinois State Normal). In addition to reorgan- izing what had been a disordered book catalog and adding hundreds of new books. Miss Moulton taught three sections of English. Her pleasant personality attracts many friends. Vance Plapp (B.M., Illinois Wesleyan), head of the music department, made his teaching debut at Chillicothe last fall. His unpredictable wit and genuine sincerity are outstanding among Mr. Plapp's characteristics. Organizations under his direction are band, girls' and boys' choruses, a freshman group, and the city choral society. One of the pleasantest people we know north of the Mason- Dixon Line is Eleanor Crenshaw (B.S.. Western Kentucky), girls' physical education instructor. Versatile is the word for El'naw, who likes bridge, ballet, and books with equal enthusiasm and is no slouch at horseback-riding and bowling, either. A longtime member of our faculty in pre-war days. Jean Parvln (A.B., Central College) returned to teaching in January after three years of Navy service. That mellow quality in Mr. Parvin's voice makes science courses twice as interesting as the textbooks might indicate. The students at Chilli rapidly pronounced him O.K.” AT LEFT—The Freshman officers and advisers pause to have their picture taken. L. to R..

'Deal Dicvicf, Imagine, Diary, September is already gone; and in a few days we have our first six weeks exams. I have my trig book right next to me now so that I can brush up on r few of the hard problems. Is there such a thing as an easy problem in trig? If there is. let me at it. Old Mother Nature has begun her annual fall paint job on Chillicothe and vicinity (including Peoria, Chicago, and all points north, south, east, and west.) The trees and shrubs are ablaze with color, and the ivy creeping up Chilli High does its bit in brightening up the countryside. At night the harvest moon is really something to dream under. Could that be the reason for the progressive frosh having a weiner roast? Could be! Any- way. it was a good idea, for all the rest of the classes followed the example set by their younger classmates. Tsk! Tsk! The sophs had a weiner roast at Detweiller. We seniors caused quite a sensation with our chummy hayride (umm-m-m-m), but the juniors are one up on us. I hear from reliable sources that they got quite a B-A-N-G out of their outing—and I'm not speaking of firecrackers. Honestly. Diary, will they never learn that stealing other people's watermelons is bound to be accompanied by the music of a shotgun! OCT. 5—Yah, Chilli! The football season is under way, and have we got a team! We played a game with Washington on Septem- ber 14, and we beat them 26 to 0! That game was over there. Then we had one September 28. here with De Pue. The score of that game was 25 to 6 in our favor. Tonight we had our second home game. Eureka was the victim this time with the score 45 to 14, with Chilli on top. No losses so far, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway. You should see our hunks of men in football suits. Oo-oh, those shoulders. OCT. 11—The day for exams has come and gone. Now I can breathe again. After the noon hour there was an assembly in the gym. Otto Schacht, a singer, proved to be interesting entertainment. He really had a big voice and he packed quite a paunch, too. When the assembly was over, we went over to Bradford to beat lhem 20 to 6. The day was perfect for a game. OCT. 18—Tonight we had our snake dance and bonfire, because tomorrow night is our homecoming. We play El Paso and it promises to be a good fight. There certainly were a lot of kids in the chain this year. Shirley Schwartz, Tootie Davis, Nadine Bertschi, Audrey Claycomb, and Alex Thornton, cheerleaders, led the parade down through town and back to the high school where a monstrous big bonfire was built. Mr. Taylor, the members of the team, and the princes and princesses were called on to speak. The candidates for the king and queen this year are Dolly Philyaw and Tom Fink, seniors; Marilyn Miller and Etoidy Johnson, juniors; Shirley Martin and Bill Murphy, sophomores; and Elsa Ferguson and Alan Arnold of the freshman class. Here's hoping we beat El Paso tomorrow night. OCT. 19—This morning we had another assembly in the gym. We were thoroughly entertained by Miss Edna Means, whose appearance was arranged by the Student Council. Talk about laughing-I laughed till I cried. Now ain't dat so? Our homecoming was a success. We beat El Paso 18 to 13! After the game, we all went to the gym to dance to the music of Mel Brooking s orchestra and to witness the crowning of the king and queen. Black and orange streamers made the gym look very festive. and corn stalks and scarecrows brought an autumn air to the dance. After awhile, the pretty little princesses and their good-looking princes were called to the stage. Sonny Johnson, after a short speech, placed the crowns on the blonde heads of Marilyn Miller and Daidy Johnson, the junior candidates. It was a wonderful night. Homecomings always are lush! OCT. 26—Dunlap came over here tonight to be defeated by our men, 32 to 0. The boys are really doing swell. Another winner chalked up in our favor. OCT. 30—Sophomore Carnival. The main attractions of the even- ing were the marriage booth (but of course), the fish pond, free throws 3 5 c. spook house, and a playlet starring Bill Hart. Walt Schaffner, Boogans 'Tturbi'' Roebuck, and Bill Sweeney. Very interesting. Mmmmmmmm! Now October is on its way out. Where is this year going? The man of my dreams is on the football team, and I'm wishing on every one-lighted car I see that he asks me for a date soon. Gee, but I'm a dreamer. Mi.

The 1945-46 Student Council was capably lead by Tom Fink as president. Many projects were accomplished by this group including the ping-pong table and a series of enjoyable assemblies brought from all over the country. Some of the outstanding assem- blies we all remember are Edna Means, the Wade Trio, a mathematical wizard and several others. The Student Council Convention was held in Peoria this year at the Jefferson Hotel. Members of Chilli's Student Council for 1945-46 are. reading clockwise: Sonny Johnson. Eddie Orday. Bill Murphy.

The Toulon team came over, only to take home a defeat of 20 to 6. Our team's on the beam, especially Pod Mooney, making those fast breaks and chalking up enough points to make him rank second in the state with one game to go. Good 'nough, Pod. , After the game we really celebrated at the dance given by the Civic League. They had Freddie Stevens' Orchestra; and really, Diary, you don't know how much nicer it is than the juke box. There was a jitterbug contest, and (of all novel things) a waltz contest. Nadine Bertschi and Bob Doubit won the jitter bug contest. The prizes were the cutest things-a puppy and a kitty cat. The Civic League plans to buy the school a loud speaker system with the money made on the dance. That really is a very good idea. At the dance I caught Jitter looking in my direction and my hopes brightened. It didn't last long because he came over and asked Shirley (who was right in back of me) to dance. Alas, dearest Diary, my dreams are shattered. I wonder if I use the right soap! NOV. 6—Boy, does this fireplace feel goodl I just got back from the game with Morton, and I'm still scraping mud off my shoes. My coat sleeves are only two inches shorter than they were when I started out. Maybe I'm lucky, because some of the girls' coat sleeves were up to their elbows! The boys plowed through mud and mire, and came through with a score of 16 to 7. It was one of the dirtiest games I've ever seen! Time out while I make myself a cup of cocoa. NOV. 9—If I seem in sort of a daze tonight, it's because I'm still a little under the spell of Our Town, the Junior Class Play. The Juniors put on their version of Thornton Wilder's famous play tonight, and I used up half a box of Swipes. The wedding scene especially got me; and I'll never forget the third act, when Emily returns in spirit from her grave and relives a day of her life. Phyliss and Gene were wonderful as Emily and George, and judging by their love scenes I'd say that here's something that looks like the real thing. Jim Sheets, our fellow Senior, had a lead in the play and did a fine job. Play practice must have been fun because Ruthie was there, tool NOV. 15—Today was quite a day for the Freshmen. They were duly initiated (but good!) into the customs and ways of Ye Olde Chilli High. The Sophomores did them up brown-or should I say red! Neydine Miller actually advertised the fact that she loves Sonny Johnson, and Bob Gants went back a few years in his manner of dress. Those three-cornered pants become him. He must have been a cute baby. This evening the Sophs established a courtroom on the stage. Judge Horan presiding. The jury, consisting wholly of members of the Sophomore class (natch!), had little mercy on the culprits. They had to do everything from leading cheers to jitterbugging. Cliff Murrell took Rita Shepard for a ride-or was it vice versa? There is one thing you've got to say about the Frosh-they took it all with a grin and had as much fun as the Sophomores them- selves. NOV. 20—Tonight our basketball team started the season out right fc y defeating Lacon 63 to 12 on their floor. I certainly hope the basketball season is as successful as the football season was. . We won every game but one, and that is definitely O. K. in any man's language. NOV. 29—We all whipped up to Sparland tonight for the second game of the season, and brought home a victorious score of 57 to 33. The first five this year Claude Mann, Dave Razo, Jack Mooney, Jim Sheets, and Daidy Johnson. Ummmmmmm! NOV. 30—Tonight we played our first home game. The boys kept up their winning streak by rolling up the score 55 to 13 against Bradford. After the game Kathryn, Marybelle, Donna Mae, Tootle, and I went down to the Ariston for a coke. Ho hum, I'm sleepy. Well, I can tear another page off my calendar now. There's only one left, and after that I'll have to find another chronological register! Time sure does fly! I wish this year would last forever, but I can see it's not going to. Bye-bye Preparing to go out to the football field before a big game are Managers Bill Sturgeon and Buzz Dunlap. The men!

'Dean ‘Diaruf It's almost time to bid So long to old 1945. Christmas is just around the corner, and that means two weeks' vacation. Whoopee! Vacation won't be hard to take at all. I always love Christmas time. The air so full of good things— pretty colored lights, the smell of pine trees, and those spicy odors drifting in from the kitchen. Mmmm, it’s delish! There's been plenty of activity around school lately. Talk about holiday rush! We're in the midst of a Victory Bond drive. Miss Hurt is at the head of this affair, and she's planned a clever contest to help sell bonds. Anyone who purchases a $100 bond can nominate a girl to compete for the title of Victory Queen, to be crowned at the Princeville game Decamber 12. She gets a long list of prizes too, and they're super-deluxe! What girl wouldn't be glad to receive two theatre tickets, two dinners, taxi service for two. a Scribe, a Tempest subscription, and a day's hookey from school! And that isn't all either! She gets to throw out the first basketball in the game! Lucky girl. Oh, to be a Queen! Last night was simply wonderful—I have never seen so many masculine specimens in my life. I wish we could serve at an Ilio Conference banquet every night in the week. Football squads from all the member schools of the conference attended. Hugh DeVore, Notre Dame coach, was the speaker. Can you imagine anything so super? He showed films of the Notre Dame-Navy game, but I was busy flirting with a man of muscle from Farmington. He was soooo-o nice, but the best part is that Jitter was actually green-eyed! He (Jitter) took me home, and I have a date for the Princeville game. Will time never pass? The trophy was presented to Jack Mooney. We're so proud. I’d like to hug every one of those guys! DEC. 5—Another victory for Chilli High! We beat Washburn 48 to 34 tonight on our floor. This is strictly from the grapevine, but I heard that some of the Washburn boys wanted to beat us because of some of the girls from here. Then, too, Davie Razo comes from Washburn. DEC. 7—Wow! We beat the great Central team tonight! What a game! The score was a beautiful 52 to 40. I guess that evens the score for that football game they won. I'm so happy. Really, Diary, for once in my life, I am speechless. DEC. 12—Just call Shirley Martin Queenie because she is that lucky girl who was crowned Victory Queen at the game tonight. She took advantage of the day's hookey from school to prepare for tonight. Mr. Wilkinson did the honors of placing the silver crown on Shirley's head. We beat Princeville 53-23. Shirley threw out the first ball. And, oh yes, Diary, I had my first date with Jitter. Ummmm-mmmm, I'm going to go to bed and dream. DEC. 14—My feet haven't thawed out yet from the ride to Brim- field. We won the game, 44-33. We stopped at P'ville on the way home to eat—arid were we in luck, because the squad bus stopped too! Elinor says she never wants to see the inside of that bus again. The boys made her get on the bus, and she was frantic until she managed to get off. Silly girl . . . DEC. 21—The last day of school before vacation. In assembly some stupid seniors (I was one of them) burlesqued The Night Before Christmas. Everyone is in such good spirits because we've won the Princeville tournament. The game Wednesday wilh Brirafield was the most exciting. The score was a tie in the last few seconds, and then Claude made a long shot that sent chills up my spine. DEC. 28—Well, it finally happened, and everyone is walking around with that down-in-the-dumps expression. We played Granville tonight and came out on the short end of the score, 36-34. After the game, Von and Jo-Jo and Jitter and I went down to the Ariston for a coke. Jitter had some trouble starting his car, and we had to get Dick LeMaster to give us a push with his Chevy. .

'Deal Dion } JAN. 2—Mr. Parvin is back at school after three years in the Navy. He's going to teach some of the scientific courses. Everybody is starting to be concerned about semester exams. The sophomores are busy tracking down the jungle mosquito in the play Yellow Jack, and now and then you see a junior trying to squirm his way out of a maze of logarithms. Me. I'm spending all my spare time memorizing Mr. Jordan's list of history dates and trying to look intelligent in English IV. JAN. 5—We beat Henry tonight, 25-24. The crowd in the gym was the biggest one since the Junior play, and spectators were draped over all three sides of the balcony. A rumor has leaked out that we might have a new gym and an improved auditorium before very long. After the game a bunch of us went down to Ruth's house. We ate hamburgers and mince pie and sat around the fire. Everyone was admiring Jitter s new wrist-watch and the new compact that Phil gave Ruth. JAN. 8—Brimfield came over and took back with them a 56-30 defeat. Everybody expected a tougher battle, but Cady couldn't seem to connect, and nothing could stop that fine Mann-Razo- Mooney combination. To the restaurant after the game with Jitter and Tom and Elinor. Some one put salt and pepper on Bill Sturgeon's sundae, and Bill, who can't taste anything lately because of his cold, ate it without knowing it. JAN. 10—We had a corny assembly today. A couple of actors gave us their interpretation of the FBI tracking down a Nazi spy. When I asked Carol where the players were from, she said. ' From hunger , and I agreed. The best thing in the play was the FBI agent's assistant, who turned out to be Tom Fink! JAN. 11—We took the long, long journey to Elmwood tonight. The bus was cold, but Pasquay, Shirley Martin, and Flynn kept the trip lively singing My Gal's a Corker and Chickery Chick. Jitter was on the squad bus, of course, and I felt a little lone- some on the way home. We won the game, incidentally—48 to 20. JAN. 17—Exams started today. English IV was simple, but in Shorthand I missed part of a letter that was being dictated because Dwight Mullen was kicking on the door and making a lot of noise. Betty and Elinor came over tonight, and we studied U. S. History. I hear the test is going to be a killer. Naturally, the conversation led to the Males of C. H. S. and to King. Houser, and Jitter in particular. Jinx and her magnificent obsession ! JAN 18 —We beat Glasford tonight, 56 37, in a pretty one-sided game. Jim Anderson was in top form, chalking up 17 points. So far this year, Claude has run up the biggest total of points, twice making 27 in one game (the same as his jersey number, incidentally). The Scribe staff held a dance after the game. The crowd wasn't so big. but everyone seemed to have a good time, especially since it was the first school dance in a long, long time. Norrie and Fern and Bob and Donna Lee were having an especially good time. JAN. 21--Miss Martens explained to us today how a bell tolls. The occasion was the study of Poe's poem The Bells . JAN. 22 -Elmwood came 45 miles to play Chilli tonight, but it was hardly worth the trouble. We took them, 55-22, with our subs taking over shortly after the half. Everyone is thinking of course about our chances of going to the State this year. Even though the odds are heavily against Chilli's being among the Sweet Sixteen, there's still that intriguing possibility. I caught Jitter passing a note to Audrey Claycomb in third hour study hall, and I didn't even bother to find out what it said. When Jitter called me up after school. I told him I already had a date for after the game. Luckily for me, Dave offered me a ride home when I was getting my coat on. We stopped at the Ariston for a shake, and there sat Jitter with Jim Callahan and Claude and Stump. Maybe I shouldn't have been so jealous! JAN. 25 A memory wizard by the name of Elzie Brown ap- peared in assembly today. With the help of Elinor and Tom and some other students chosen at random, he gave a demonstration of his remarkable memory by repeating long lists of figures. He also pointed out that 1940. the year in which Mr. Nothdurft was mar- ried, was a leap year. The Juniors sponsored a dance tonight in the gym. It seemed as if half the student body must have been at Jean Cox's slumber party, but at least there was plenty of dancing space. I had a date with Sonny. Part of the school dance orchestra, now called the Swing Sextet, played for floor show and dancing, with Mr. (Continued on Page 33) HARDWOOD HYLITES Chilli Score Opponents High Point Man 61 Lacon 12 H.

Sonny was in a good mood tonight, having passed everything and become eligible for basketball beyond a doubt. Fink gave us a ride out to northtown, where we got a hamburger and hot chocolate, and where I didn't see Jitter around anywhere. JAN. 28 -The Ghosts had a tough opponent tonight—the much- [heralded Spalding team. During the past few weeks you could hear many references being made to this crack Peoria team ana pessimistic predictions made about our chances against them. Our boys, though, had little trouble tying them up. We led all the way, from Mooney's neat basket in the first few seconds to that last suspensful minute when we were leading by only a slight margin. The final score? 35 to 30. The newspaper account gave our total as 33, but the reporter had failed to credit one basket made in one of those breathless, nail-biting moments of play. Jitter, of course, didn't get a chance to play in such a tight game. He came along when Fink took a bunch of us downtown to eat, and we more or less patched up our differences.

Veon, 'Diasty Jeepers, one peek at me basketball schedule for this month shows that I'm going to be one busy girl. It's literally overflowing with games. Our team has really gone places so far this year, and I know they'll keep it up (I'm keeping my fingers crossed on going to state.) Feb. 4—Guess who's back. Diary. Lonnie Parr has returned to CHS after three years' service in the United States Navy. Double hubba! He's super — red. curly hair, a cheery grin, and that certain something that gets the boys as well as the girls. Counting our good-natured science teacher, Mr. Parvin. that makes two ex- Navy men on the faculty. The Navy's loss is Chilli's gain! Feb. 5—The other night at a faculty meeting the teachers voted Carol Droll to receive the D. A. R. Award this year. Gee, Diary. I'll bet she was thrilled. That's really an honor. Feb. 8—Here I am warm and comfy in bed and ready to tell you about our game with Prince.ville tonight. We came home' with a victory of 49-33. The boys are really making a good show this year. The P'ville kids were having their Valentine Dance after the game. They have hearts all over the walls with couples' names on them And. Diary, there was one that had Jitter and Peggy on it! I've been kind of a slacker with my entries this week. I missed two games. First was one with Sparland. the score 62-38 in our favor. Next, we went over to Glasford the othor night and beat them 74-31. Tsk. Tsk. By. the way. Diary, Glasford has some mighty Van-some boys! Feb. 13 -Tonight Mom and I donned our best bib and tuckers and made our way through the snow to the Mom's night basketball game. We played Lacon, and the score tilted (and I do mean tilted) 71-11 in our favor. At the half fifteen of the girls from the chorus presented an effective little ceremony in honor of the Moms. I think they all enjoyed it. After the game we had to fight our way home through an icy blizzard. Feb. 15—Tonight we played Dunlap, and lost. The game was a hair-raiser, Diary, with the score standing 29-28. Dunlap always has been our rival. Gee, Diary, our third loss. Feb. 19—We came home from Toluca tonight with a victory and two casualties. The score was a fairly close 32-26, and the game was rough and tumble all the way through Dave suffered a dislocated shoulder, and Elinor came home with a sprained ankle. She didn't get hurt in the game. Diary. I guess she'll learn to jump over mud puddles! Feb. 22—Another game in our favor. Tonight we went over to Delavan where we defeated them 45-35. The game was played in the Armory, and the floor was enormous compared to ours. Gee, it was neat. Maybe some day we'll have a new gym with a floor like that. There's only the regional left now, Diary. Here's hoping! Feb. 26 —Hurrah! We're one step on our way to State. We beat Eureka 51-28 in the East Peoria Regional. Thursday night we meet Manual, and I can tell you right now that it will be a fight to the finish. We've simply got to win. Feb. 28—I hardly know what to say. There's a lump in my throat the size of a grapefruit. Manual won. Diary. 39-35. It was a game that had you on the edge of your seat all the time. We were ahead several times and we never got very far behind. All the girls had tears in their eyes, and nobody said anything for the longest time. I hate to go to school tomorrow—everyone will be so blue. Well, diary, the time has come to say goodbye again. Time wajts for no one, does it. TOP ROW: Lloyd Adams.

Such cold windy weather. .March certainly came in like a lion, and I sure hope that the lamb arrives soon. School goes on just the same as ever, with a few extra activities tossed in once in a while. Take for example the Senior Play, Nine Girls”. They’re having practice every night now, and. Diary, it sounds like more fun. The play will be given March 27—that's the first of three per- formances at a matinee for the grade school kids. Then we'll have it the next two nights. I hear there's one drawback to practice. There aren't any men in the play. Mr. Wilkinson is the only male there at night—poor fellow. Tootie, Jane. Jo. Elinor. Carol. Shirley. Betty, Selma, Dolly, and Coleen certainly raise the roof. I bet they really pop some cornies. Every night there is the usual confusion of forgotten lines, Wilkinson yelling Project! , wisecracks, giggling, and glaring footlights. Sounds like fun. MARCH 15—Today as I was roaming through the halls I ran into Mary Agrue, editor-in-chief of the Tempest. She was delivering the papers to the classrooms, but she had time to stop and talk to me for a second as she gave me my Tempest. Mary's done a grand job with the paper this year, and I imagine that she has many a headache before the paper comes out every other Friday. Mary's business manager is Phil McCormick, and Mary Pasquay is assistant editor and proof-reader. The witty feature articles are written by Pat Israelson. feature editor, and her brainy staff, Tom Fink, Ruth Coultas, Jake Gilmore, Marie Day, Ruth Mc- Donough, and Fern Davis. Gerry Prather heads the news depart- ment, with Donna Marcus, Claire Anderson, Dwight Mullen, Emma Vonk, Charles Hess, Elsa Ferguson, Marilyn Welch, Roland Kelly, Elinor Anderson, Selma Ferguson. Phyllis Burkholder, and Leonard Stoecker helping her snoop for news. Jim Sheets and Dave Razo take care of the sports and Carol Droll, the ex- change. Bob Smith and Bill Anderson are busy helping Phil with the business of the Tempest. To write the headlines, we have Neydine Miller, Rose Marie Root, and Fern Davis. Sally Ferguson and Claire Anderson are copy-readers. Miss Martens, as faculty adviser, carries the weight of much worry and respon- sibility on her shoulders. And, Diary, the Tempest is being printed at the Bulletin Office for the first time in history. Heading the staff of the 1946 Scribe is Carol Droll, editor-in-chief. Ruthie Coultas is assistant editor, and Elinor Anderson is business manager. Mr. Wilkinson is the adviser. This year's staff consists of Dick LeMaster, Emma Vonk, Marilyn Sarver. Jim Sheets, Tom Fink, and Shirley Schwarz. The SCRIBE is being printed by the Rex Howard Company in Peoria, and its covers and binding are being taken care of by Pfister's Bindery in Galesburg. Many a night the midnight oii has been burned by the hard-working staff. Tom and Elinor could be seen tearing around town in Tom's modern, air-conditioned Ford, frantically searching for adver- ( • ' _= tisements. Along toward the end, the brains of this group of kids began to wear out and lose all ideas for copy. Can you blame them, Diary? Just trying to think up things to say to you is a trying experience for me. Carol says it's a wonder her hair isn't gray with all the worrying to be done. MARCH 27—Alas, Diary, Glamor puss has the mumps! Today, the day of the matinee of Nine Girls , Shirley Schwarz took down with that dreaded disease. Ruthie Coultas saved the day, though; she is busy learning the part right this minute. Three cheers to Wootie! MARCH 29—The curtain has gone down on the last performance of ' Nine Girls. The audience loved it. Goodness, Dairy, it sure kept me in suspense. Most of the time I was on the edge of my seat. Orchids to Ruth—she did swell. Willie again proved him- self a wonderful director. Sally Ferguson as Mary proved her- self a grand little actress in the role of the murderess. Elinor Anderson carried away honors as Eve, the heroine of the story, who discovers that Mary is the killer. Jo Button did a swell job as Jane, the level-headed member of the group; and Jane Murphy, as Shotput, deserves credit for her portrayal of the athletic girl who should have been a boy. Carol Droll kept the audience laughing with her sarcastic remarks and fights with Glamor puss, who was played by Ruth Coultas. Alice, the sweet, quiet girl who was murdered on stage, was played very artistically by Dolly Philyaw. Tootie Davis and Betty Roebuck as Shirley and Tennessee stole the show with their naive innocence. Coleen Simpson did a good job as Phyliss, who appeared in the pro- logue with Jane. Gee, it was good, Diary. The stage setting was sure swell. Knotty-pine wallpaper, com- fortable chairs, a fireplace, desk, and everything comfy. Jim Sheets, Dave Rayo, and Jake Gilmore built the set. The props were tracked down by Ruth Coultas, Jane Murphy, Tootie Davis, and Betty Roebuck. Jack Fisher was kept busy as business manager. I've got to close now. I'm getting sleepy. I bet the kids in the play are still going strong over at Roebucks. 'Night, dear Diary. I'm afraid that I have spring fever. It's beginning to get warmer now, and the days are getting longer. The earth has a clean, earthy smell, and everything is turning green. Mmrnm, it's wonderful. Track and baseball have begun now. I sure hope that we have just as successful a season of them as we did of football and basketball. If you go down to the grade school any night after school, you can see the boys warming up for the baseball games that are scheduled. Out on the track back of school you can see the fellows leaping over the hurdles or pole-vaulting or just sitting around waiting. Lots of fun to watch them. Dave is a pretty fast dash man, and Jack looks like a good prospect for the hurdles and quarter. The Spanish classes have started something mw this year. Under the direction of Miss Gsrber, a Spanish Club has been formed. In their meetings they have educational movies sad refreshments. Ummmm! Sounds like fun. TOP ROW: L. to R.—Bob Miller. Robert Sims.

We took Jack and Shirley with us. Freddie Stevens was super, as always, and when he played ''Oh, What It Seemed To Be in that slow, smooth tempo of his, I nearly melted away. Incidently, Diary, Jitter's dancing has improved considerably since the last school dance! I wonder if someone else has been teaching him! We drove down to Shirley's after the dance, along with some of the other sweethearts. Shirley turned the radio on. and almost everyone danced some more. Jitter and I just sat in a corner and talked. APRIL 9—The Junior Class is buried deep in the preparations for the Prom. They're having it at the Pere Marquette this year. Oh, I hope someone asks me to go. Proms are always so heavenly. I bet this one is simply out of this world. APRIL 21—Easter Sunday. This morning we went to church and wore our new Easter finery. Almost everyone was at Sunrise Service. I saw a lot of the kids there. It was a beautiful picture- all the pretty pastel suits, hats, and corsages mingling with the beautiful sunset and green grass and trees. Dad brought corsages home for Mother and me last night. Roses and lillies-of-the-valley. Such sweet extravagance. APRIL 26—Well, Diary dear, my suitcase is packed and I'm rarin' to go. Chicago, here I come! I'm so excited. We leave early in the morning. I bet we have a lot of fun. There's a whole lot of us girls going up on the train together. I've got to sleep now so that I'll be wide awake in the morning. Nighty night Diary. APRIL 29—Whew—I'm home again! What a trip. Diary I had more fun! Jitter took me to the Aragon Saturday night, and it was simply lush. Soft lights, sweet music—sheer enchantment. Six of us girls roomed together—three in a bed. That room was certainly a bedlam. We talked until all hours of the night, and in the daytime we tramped all over Chicago. Oh. my aching feet. There sure is a lot of territory to cover in that town. And the store windows are simply something to drool over. Such clothes. Gee, it was fun. Diary. APRIL 30—Maybe that old saying, In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, is true. Something happened, anyway, and I'm so happy. On the way home from school tonight, Jitter asked me to go to the Prom with him. I thought I just imagined it, but I'm positive I heard him say it. And I was so afraid I wouldn't get to go this year. Oh. Diary, I can't wait till May 10. 'Tis time to bid you adieu, my little friend. Gosh, but I'm happy. _________________________________________ A new organization this year is the Science Club, which was in- troduced by Mr. Bohannon.

E. Dewi Dcantf Jeepers, Diary, this school year has certainly slipped from our grasp in a hurry. Scarcely a month to go and the Class of ‘46 leaves Chilli High forever. Not a very pleasant thought, if you ask me. I've had so much fun in this old building. There's 30 many of the little things that I'll miss—the slamming of locker doors . . . the occasional fire drills . . . tossing erasers in study hall . . . the dances in the gym . . . notes from my pals . . . going out of town to games . . . singing our Loyalty Song in pep assemblies . . . cramming for exams . . . snake dances and Homecoming ... the familiar old bell . . Freshman initiation day . . . tardy hall (I always did miss tardy hall anyway) . . . the crowded fountains between classes . . . play practice . . . absence permits ... the fragrant aromas from the chemistry lab . . . all a part of four years at Chilli. MAY 2—Today Mom and I went to the Open House held by Mrs. Pruett s Home Ec classes. Such delicious cookies, cupcakes, candy, sandwiches, and tea as you've never seen in your whole life! I know that I ate more than Emily Post allows. The girls modeled dresses, skirts, blouses, playsuits. and other garments they made throughout the year under Mrs. Pruett's guidance. I guess these girls will make good wives some day. MAY 5—Jitter and I, along with Elinor and Tom and Phil and Ruth, went to the shew at the Madison. Van Johnson was so heavenly I almost forgot Jitter was sitting beside me. After the show we went out to Andy's for cokes and hamburgers. On the way out to the car Elinor went into one of her tap-dances, and everyone thought she was just making a stopover on her way to Bartonville. MAY 10—I'm speechless, dear Diary! I'm in the clouds and I don’t think I'll ever come down. The world's all stardust and dreams. The Prom! It was heavenly. And, Diary, Jitter, brought me an orchid! Imagine! It looked dreamy with my white formal. I could tell he was pleased with the way I looked. My goodness, it took me three-and-a-half hours to get ready. I danced every dance, and it was certainly wonderful. All the girls had pretty, frilly dresses, and the boys looked oh— so—handsome in their neat sport coats and faultlessly pressed trousers. Jack King, as junior class president, gave th e speech of welcome, and Tom Fink, our own prexy, acknowledged it. The banquet was lush. Diary, it was so thrilling. I was in a whirl all evening. I'm going to go to bed now and dream beauti il dreams. I could go to proms every night and still not tire of them. Diary, when Jitter kissed me good night, I felt like I was on a cloud. And then the craziest thing happened. He started to slip his class ring onto my finger, but we were both so excited that we dropped it in the grass and had to hunt for it for almost five minutes. Jitter was down on his hands and knees, and I was giggling and Dad was yelling to find out what was going on . . . MAY 19—Well. Diary, this will be my last entry. My school days are nearly over now. and I'm going to lock you up and put you away for reading in the distant future. Who knows, maybe some day my children will get a big thrill (or laugh) out of my high school memories. The next two weeks will be so filled with activities at school that I won't have time for Anything else. My graduation dress is hanging in the closet right now. I have my invitations addressed and ready to drop in the nearest mailbox. It's hard to believe that graduation is so close at hand. Tom is valedictorian of our class and Ruthie is salutatorian. The Class of '46 is one of the best ever to graduate from CHS. That's not bragging, Diary, its the truth. It's with sadness and regret that I turn the key in your lock, dearest Diary. You've been a true and faithful friend to me in the last four years, but my high school days are over now and a long, bright future lies ahead waiting for me, so I must go. Goodbye. Diary dear. AT RIGHT—Wide grins are sported by our Senior Class officers and advisers. L. to R. are Mr. Wilkinson, Secretary Emma Vonk. President Tom Fink, Vice-president Buix Dunlap, Treasurer Marilyn Sarver, and Miss Martens.
