H. S. has to offer. Scholastically the students on this page are tops in the graduating class of 1950. These students represent the upper twenty per cent of their class. Many times not much mention is given to these deserving students. Named valedictorian and salutatorian of the graduating class were Gordon Adams and Lee Pence. These students have all been active in extra-curricular activities also. From these students have come the president of the Stu- dent Council, president of the C Club, Cheerleaders, speech contestant, music rep- presentatives, and editor of the SEQUENCE. Congratulations are in order for these out- standing students. GORDON ADAMS - - Vlledlctothn LH PING - - Sllutltodll 8 Q f j 1 n -gh U v 4 My x,.1'. 5 1 42:71-' - X 1' mififf .

Z3 Class Prophecy THE TIME: June 2, 1960 THE PLACE: Cutright Park, Chillicothe, Ill. In the distance we see the twinkling lights of the great Metropolis, Chillicothe. We hear the music of carousels and the harsh coax- ing of the side shows barkers of the huge fair. Hear ye! Hear ye! Step right this way ladies and gentlemen! See the greatest, most colossal fair in the history of this fair city. We walk along the paths and peep in at the various shows. On the stage of one we see a beautiful girl dancing. The barker is calling, Step right up and see the most beau- tiful creature ever seen. Having arrived close enough to get a close look, we see to our suprise, Miss, BARBARA Salome REYNOLDS, still doing her wonderful dance that made her so famous at dear, old Chilli High. Wandering on, we hear a politician making speeches on a soap-box waving his arms furiously and his mad ravings resound around the park far above the loud music. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot tolerate the vast corruption of this city. No beer! No cigarettes! What is this world coming to? Act! Think later! This, ladies and gentlemen, is my policy! A moment later we start and recognize our good friend, GOOD SAM BRADLEY, still at it! Our attention is called to a huge, strong man lifting 1,000 pound weights. In huge letters above him, there is a sign that reads: THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD! SEE HIM! HEAR HIM! SLAP HIM! A moment later we recognize the graceful form clad in l e o p a r d skin, none other than ROCKS SAMSON HAWLEY. We rush up to have a word with him. Why did you choose this profession, Mr. HAWLEY? Well, he drawled, My strong-man act in the Senior Assembly that we gave in 1950 was so good, that I decided to make this my profession. Ha! Having secured his autograph in our books, we continue on our way. We see a crowd roaring with laughter. We immediately in- vestigate the cause of this merriment. There beside a tent, calling at the top of his voice, is JAMES CASEY. Be the one to throw this old ripe tomato at this idiotic, flea-bitten, hilarious clown! Peering closely, we see the red, tomato-smeared face of the one and only RICHARD ZILM. Throwing tomatoes at him f u rio u sly we see his lifetime friend, RUSSELL SISK, enjoying this immensely. Our eye catches something new in the way of carnival shows. A fashion show. We see a man parading around gracefully amid the wolf calls of the young women in the crowd. We recognize our old classmate LLOYD GASWAY, modeling the latest thing in tight levis. Among the loudest whistlers in the crowd we find COLLEEN IRVIN, who has changed from her shy ways. We decide to go to the free act show, hav- ing learned the art of thrift in our last year of high school! We hear the soft, resonant strains of Hawaiian music and two girls in grass skirts and leis appear on the stage. This time RAAMAH SUTTON and JOYCE LAHNE go through their Hawaiian dance without the censorship of school teachers. Next upon the stage we see the siren. TINKLE ROEBUCK, who has never settled to one man. After this thrilling act, we are quite surprised and also quite honored to see TOM ROHMAN leading his prize champion pig, the joy of his life, across the stage. After dutifully enjoying this lesson in agriculture, there appears a line of beautiful girls, SARAH NOLAN, MARY JANE MURPHY, SHIRLEY LAWRENCE, LOIS SMITH, and HARRIET ADAMS. We are hungry after all this excitement and we decide to get refresh- ments. There behind the counter we find MARILYN MURPHY, still happily slinging hash and whistling a gay Irish tune. The gambling booths are always inter- esting. Here we find the professor of mathe- matics, LEVON PENCE, with his arms full of prizes. The Brain has figured out the mathematical solution to the gambling gad- get and is enjoying the profits. With him we find his wife, PAT, and all their little Pistols . About this time we find that the refresh- ments that we have eaten do not agree with our stomachs. Must be MARILYN'S food! We cry for help and three nurses rush to our aid. Imagine meeting BOBBIE LYTLE, PAT COON, and GERRY NORTHRUP in this maner! Feeling better, our attention is called to a woman vainly trying to quiet her b r o o d of children. We recognize BEV ARNOLD and happen to recall that she has been voted Mother of the Year , having given birth to two sets of quadruplets. Going on, we spy a freak show and seat ourselves. Here we see Giant B I LL LEMASTER, a n d midgets, DOROTHY SCHAFFNER, CHUCK MAGEE, and BOB ANDES. At this point we see ALBERT SEE with his unshaven beard and chattering away swinging on the limb of a tree, posing as one of his ancestors. Next to him we see our dear friend, MARJORIE MCCORMICK, confined to a caged and laughing hysterically. We strain our eyes and finally read the small label on the cage. It reads, Here sits MARGIE McCORMICK, the laughing hyena. Cause of condition - the strain of editing the 1950 SEQUENCE. Ah, a cloud of dust in the distance! It's a bus! Here comes old faithful , ANITA PELINI, bringing in another busload of show lovers to our famous fair grounds. We stop to buy balloons and talk to BONNIE KING who is selling them and making quite a profit. We ask about our friends, ROSIE SMITH and BEV. TAYLOR, and she replies, They manage a large chain of theaters and DON RANKIN is now mana- ger of the Penney Store, who specializes in selling Harriet's Hankies. Continuing on our way, we hear the sound of roaring automobiles and enter a show to see the daring feats of daredevil driver, JOY WEBBER and her husband, Sarge. After this incident, we need some soothing music and proceed to the music stand featuring BILL SEE'S H o tl i c k s accompanied by HELEN BREWER on the piano. Here we find LUELLA BECKHOLT giving MARIAN a hot-foot, still up to her little jokes. Among the other livestock we find, far- mers BILL VONK, and GERALD RICH- ARDSON competing in a hog-calling con- test. We leave them there, still yelling and go to see MARY JEAN HARLAN, comedy singer and dancer. We hear the wild beating of the jungle drums and run face to face with MURPH . We find ourselves swaying to the rhythm of his drums. Beside him, we find his accomp- lice, RUSS BUTTON, screaming at the top of his lungs about the beautiful dancing girls. iwe knew they would end up herell This show features LONG LEGS SEMT- NER, BUBBLES JACKSON, FIFI KEHLENBACH. Our eyes bulge as we round the corner to find MILDRED STOECKER, MIDGE CAM- ERON, and DONNA STAUDENMAIER sell- ing kisses for 55.00. First in line. we find BACHELOR TAYLOR, and G O R D O N ADAMS and ROBERT McGEE. ' Catching our breath, we find LOIS SMITH telling fortunes. Outside the tent B I L L PATTON and ELDON STREET are selling 'STREET 'n' PATTON'S HAIR RESTORER' to Mr. Parvin and Mr. Tennant. Beside them we find dear old GIB JONES selling brain restorer to BILL ZEHR, who will certainly put it to use! And here we spy another novelty. The lightning track star, FLASH CAIN, run- ing a race against an Indian Mongoose. It seems that dear old CAIN won't ever give up. Guess who won! And last, but not least, we find our friend, MARLENE PAYNE, busily cleaning the ice cream off Hubby Corky Thompson's suit, having learned the habit from working at Chief Cleaners. We must add here that her house is spotless. Small Wonder! Ho hum! There's no business like show business! ! ! . iF'a'-w WE' If JACK MURPHY - Pat Mooney Memorial xx Y 1 sl. 2' 0 A 4, .K I :Lg 5 LEE PENCE - BARB REYNOLDS - DON RANKIN Q V ? q L Boys' and Girls' State Delegates Z 'Y . w K5 '. 3 J' N LEVON PENCE - Kiwanis Key X41 : Y 4 f 4 I 'D 1 -An-KA., .N A-nn unsnvnnnn n1-nArnlvnv Office girls - from four to five.

The school year 1949-50 marked one of the best years in Chilli High's Student Council history. Headed by a very capable leader, senior Beverly Arnold, the members sponsored the biggest Home- coming ever held at C. H. S. They sponsored many excellent as- semblies during the school year including Galen Harvey, pianist, Bobo the magician, the movies Les Miserables and Anna and the King of Siam and several other equally fine programs. The Council also did a very efficient job of organizing and arranging the SCh0Gl calendar. Other officers of the Council this year were Jack Bradley, Vice- President, Annette Grogan, Secretary, and Joyce Fisher, Treasurer. Principal Parr acted as faculty advisor for the group. 31 1 Left to Right, Row 1: I. Gallup, N. Murphy, M. McCormick, T. Northrup, S. Shuppert. N. Green, B. Mooney, A. Grogan, Miss Williams, B.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Mac the libra- Irians have very efficiently run the library. During the week before Christmas vacation the students operated the library in the ab- sence of Mrs. Mac. During the year the librarians held several parties for the group at Root's Cabin. They built a float for the Homecoming Parade. It was an exceptionally fine float. In February the staff sponsored an assembly for the entire student body. Every member of the staff took an active part in the assembly and it was well received by the entire student body.

Sewing, cooking, and the art of homemaking is taught in the Home Ec. Classes of C. H. S. The girls learn everything from the correct method of sewing on buttons to how to bake beautiful, light, fluffy, cakes. During the first semester the teachers of this course were Mrs. Clarence Pruit and Mrs. Gene Maxwell. However Mrs. Maxwell had to resign at the end of the first semester and Miss Eterno was hired to fill her place in the Home Ec. Dept. Many beautiful garments were made and modeled :in the annual Style Show which the classes in con- nection with the F. H. A. puts on each spring. The de- partment also exhibited several projects of the girls in Open House held in the spring. SHOP - - Noise but poise! we Look what I got' Industrzal Arts One of the most practical courses offered here at Chilli High is the Industrial Arts courses under the direction of Mr. Tennant. Here the boys learn the techniques of operating wood and metal lathes re- finishing articles and building articles from scratch. Many fine articles were produced by the boys in the classes this year. These articles range from the fine gun cabinet made by Jon Babington to small table lamps, metal plates, and small jewelry boxes. This year these courses have become one of the most prominent at C.

This ruggedness plus the good clean sportsmanlike manner which the members of the team have exemcplified this year makes our schoohllplroud to claim the Football Squa of 1949 an important part of C ' 'cothe High. These players above have represented our school well. ' 82 Highlites of the Ghost's Season The last days of August and the first of September were sweltering days, but that made no difference to some seventy aspir- ants who made up the frosh-soph and varsity squads. The varsity squad was well rewarded for their efforts as they took a well played game from the Princeville Princes. The game marked the dedication of the Prince's new field and found them fighting their hearts out for a victory, but the Ghosts led by Hor- ton and Ramos built up a 12-0 halftime lead and then staved off a desperate rally by the Princes to win 14-12. A safety by Horton proved the margin of victory. The Ghosts first home game was with Bradford and the visitors carried off a 6-0 triumph. Over-confidence caused this defeat to some extent, .but Bradford had one ex- ceptionally good back, quarterback Bob Mur- phy, and that was the margin of defeat. The Ghosts made a last desperate bid late in the quarter by driving to the Bradford three- yard line, but a short jump-pass was inter- cepted by Murphy and Bradford stalled out the game. The Eureka Green Hornets journeyed to Cutright field and was handed a 39-12 set- back. From the very beginning the game was never in doubt, as Chilli, intent on winning their first Illio game, would not be denied. In the Farmington game, although the Ghosts were outscored 32-12, they weren't outplayed that much, as they matched the Farmers blow for blow except in the 2nd quarter, when they broke away for three td's. The Ghosts returned home beaten, but not discouraged, as they prepared for an Illio tussle with Metamora. The Red Birds sur- prised the local gridders by scoring first, but the Ghosts came from behind to win 27-6. Playing in the rain for the first time the Ghosts subdued their old rival, Dunlap, 34-0. Although the field was wet and muddy, Chilli still scored at ease and won their third conference game against one defeat. Remembering last year's homecoming de- feat at the hands of the Morton Potters, the Ghosts went into the game with vengeance in their hearts and were victorious 19-0. The game was easily Chilli's best game played to date. Things were looking bright as the team's record in league competition now stood at 4-1. Over-confidence and Tremont nearly de- feated the Ghosts one sunny day in the only afternoon game of the season, but Ghosts, after trailing at halftime 7-6, scored in the third quarter and then staved off a deter- mined Tremont team in the fourth period to win 12-7. Homecoming festivities were darkened somewhat by a highly aroused Washington eleven who dealt the Ghosts a 19-6 loss. The Panther team was practically unbeatable as their blocking, tackling, and running were working to perfection. Gasway was lost to the Ghosts for the remainder of the season with a broken cheekbone. The last game of the season was played at Princeton where the Ghosts lost 14-6. The game could easily have been Chilli's as one touchdown was annulled by a penalty and others were fumbled away. Springer, an All- Stater was the margin of victcgy for the Tigers. The Ghosts of '49 finished third in Illio competition and won 6 out of 10 in all games played. Many of the familiar faces seen on the gridiron the past season will be missing next year. These boys are: Bill LeMaster, Gilbert Jones, Captain LeVon Pence, Rich- ard Zilm, Alan Taylor, Jack Murphy, Vince Cain, Lloyd Gasway, Don Rankin, Russell Sisk, Beecher Horton, and Russell Button. miner - mu, Horton - zum - A plunging bmckfield man Plqyodcndmdcatehlng Amnebacklng wuhillpednl- whowuuvnlunblolddltion puns vu: his specialty. ty.Atough manindh tothoChllllteom.Lookfor Alnoplayedwellonddmse. clutch. hlmnutyear.

Playing one of the toughest schedules ever undertaken y a Frosh-Soph team, the team looked surprisingly well in winning four and losing four. Most of the Sophomores will move up to the varsity next year to help it through a successful season while most of the Freshmen will remain with the F.

Maybe it was fate and, again, maybe it was- n't but the Ghosts also, ended their season against Central, losing 70-46 in the first game of the East Peoria Regional. In between these two games were some games to be justly proud of and other games to be almost completely forgotten. Playing their last game in their old gym the Ghosts beat Brimfield 52-40. as Reese and Pence got 20 points each to pace the attack. Returning home after a few out of town games the team prepared to meet the Washington Pan- thers on their new gym floor. The Panthers walked off with a 58-27 win. The Ghosts were nervous, to some extent, playing before a capacity crowd and having a player quit the squad didn't help any. Two games the boys can be justly proud of are the Lacon and Henry games. Both of these games were played on foreign courts giving the home team the advantages, however the Ghosts came through in fine style. They quenched a desperate last minute rally by the Henry Mallards to win 47-45 and won in an over- time from a highly regarded Mid-County team 38-37, after leading throughout regular play. Although losing to Tremont 58-57 in an overtime, the boys can be somewhat proud of that game too. Behind by 7 points with less than 40 seconds to go the Ghosts tied it up at 53-53 just as the final gun went off. s It seems as if the opponents center always was a thorn in the Gray Ghost's side. Mur- dock of Elmwood led his team to a 65-34 win by scoring 29 points. Baylor of Farmington, although not the high point man, controlled both boards for his team. In the second game with Henry, Ziegler paced his team to a 45- 38 win with 18 points. In the second game with Brimfield, Peters scored 17 points to pace the victory. The Ghosts accomplished a feat this year that was seldom accomplished and that ac- complishment was to hold Don Matthews, higlzly considered fellow for an All-State berth, to 14 points. The leading scorer for the '49-'50 season was Pistol Pence with a total of 231 points. Moose Ramos was second with a total of 122 points. Babington, Reese, and Calvin followed in that order with 89, 85, and 82 points respectively. The nucleus of next year's team will be Tom Calvin, Jon Babington, Al Ramos, Dick Smith, Don Lucas, and Ken Semtner. Lucas was coming along good toward the end of the season and Semtner should be vastly im- proved after playing his first year of basket- ball. These two are just Sophomores. Dick Irions and Kenny Boyle, two more Sopho- mores, will move up to the varsity from the second team and add further strength to a winning season. Lost to the team through graduation were LeVon Pence, Don Rankin, Jim Casey, Jack Murphy, Bill LeMaster and Alan Taylor. THE CAGE SPORT Speed, quick thinking, initiative, and good sportsmanship are words that aptly describes the Basketball Squad of 1949 and 19507. These qualities are gained only through much practice and hard work. as members and coaches of the squad can readily certify. Mistakes happen and a team sometimes loses, but this is all in the game of basketball. Sometimes the breaks are with you and sometimes they go against you, but this also is the game of basketball. A boy who really likes the game will play his heart out for a team victory . O 3' ' ibn: K, an ff' ' . -A ? i W ,, ,QQ it 2-N 45, ,' LJ 2 f-M, H A ' .

Muriel Parker, Pat Reifsteck, Diane Coon, and Barbara Sturgeoraz 1949 Cinder Escapades The 1949 edition of the Chillicothe High School track squad upheld the traditions of past Chilli track teams by placing high in every relay and dual meet on their schedule. The first meet of the year was held in windy Peoria Stadium against a highly- touted Peoria Woodruff outfit which lived up to every word that was said about them. They swept past the Grey Ghosts in a crushing 83-30 verdict. It must be remem- bered, however, that the Woodruff team was one of the best in the state. The next week, Chilli again ventured to Peoria and found a fast moving Peoria Cen- tral team every bit as tough as Woodruff was. This meet, despite the score of 77-36, showed that Chilli was definitely on the up grade, and this was proved by the Grey Ghostsi' easy 75-38 rout of East Peoria. With the dual meets of the season over, Chilli turned to the Geneseo Relays, one of the toughest of the state. Since the enroll- ment at Chillicothe is less than 500, the Ghosts entered in the B class. The meet was close all the way with Hall Township barely edging out Coach Taylor's charges for first place in a field of 23. The second annual Normal Relays was next on the agenda. The Taylormen were out to revenge their narrow loss of the crown in 1948, and revenge it they did. When the final tabulations were counted there wasn't a team close to the Ghosts . Gaining speed as they went along, Chilli next challenged a field of 32 at the Galva Relays, but try as they would, the Ghosts could not beat a determind Galva outfit and for the second time of the season wound up a major relay in second place. The third annual Illio Conference Track Meet was the big event on the track schedule. The day was a perfect one and the Chilli team was about perfect too. From the very start of the meet there was no doubt in the minds of the spectators that Chilli would win for the third straight year. Morton made a desperate attempt to stop the Ghosts but fell short. Chilli's top dashman, Alan Taylor, led the assault on the record book with a 10.5 hun- dred and a 23.4 two-twenty. Ellis Horton stepped the 440 in 54.4 and Russell Button the low hurdles in 24.2 for two more new records. The Freshman-Sophomore 880 relay broke record no. 4 as they sped the distance in 1:42.5, then to top off a perfect day Chilli's 880 yd. relay team flashed home in 1137.2 and their fifth record of the day. The final track meet of the season was the Geneseo Night Relays, Chilli made a good showing against a field of much larger schools and wound up third behind Sterling and Geneseo. The 880 yd. relay team again broke a record as Vince Cain, Jerome Augus- tine, Ellis Horton, and Alan Taylor turned in their best time of the year in 1:36.4. Ellis Horton and Alan Taylor led in the scoring, but there was no top stars as ever- body did their part. The lettermen and their events are as follows: Dashmen - A. Taylor, V. Cain, E. Horton, B. Gants. Distance - E. Ordez, J. Carr, G. Adams, J. Augustine. Weights - E. Worrick, L. Gasway, B. Gants, A. Arnold. Hurdles - Horton, Gasway, Reese, Grabill, Richardson, Button. Jumps - Murphy, Pence, Gasway, Grabill, Taylor. I Alan Taylor and G o r d o n Adams, these two names remind me of two stalwarts on the Chil- licothe track team. T h o s e two boys were always sure points at a track meet. Zack , as he is known to most of his friends, started his track career as a mem- ber of the F-S relay team while still a Freshman. From then on he. developed in t o one o f the speediest dashmen in Central Ill- inois. His Junior year was per- haps his greatest year as he was handicapped by a pulled muscle during the latter part of the 1950 season. Zack holds the I 1 l i o Conference record for the 1 00 yard dash and is co-holder of the 220 yard dash. He was on his way to setting a new record it the 220 when he pulled a leg muscle. Be- sides being a star t r a c k m a n, Zack is a halfback on the foot- ball team. Sports aren't his only accomplishments as he ranks in the upper fourth of his class scholastically. , Gordon worked a n d trained hard in his Freshman and Sopho- more years, but didn't come into very much of the limelight as an- other miler by the name of La- Verne Adams, Gordon's brother, had most of it. In his Junior year Adams was hampered toward the latter part of the season by a bad case of flu causing him to miss the Illio Conference track meet. In his Senior year Adams swept everything in his path. Some of his wins were as follows: the mile run at woodruff and Central, the mile run at Geneseo Relays, and the mile run at the Galva Relays. The District track meet held at Peoria Stadium on May 6. At the District Gordon finished third to Martens and Wag- ner of Woodruff, both of whom he had beaten in the early part of the season. However in getting third he qualified himself for the State and also established a record of 4236.7 for future milers of Chilli High to shoot at. In the state Gordon finished tenth out of a field of more than thirty. Besides holding the school record Gordon also holds the record for the mile in the Illio Confer- ence. Gordon participates in the half-mile and in the fall engages in cross country run- ning. Gordon is also an honor student being Valedictorian of the Senior Class of 1950. Together t h e s e boys have contributed much toward victories for the Chilli track squad. Besides their winnings they have con- tributed much more in the way of good sportsmanship and clean living and speech. 95 1950 Cinder Escapades Chillicothe's 1950 Track Team started out their schedule on a cold and bleak day, but there was no coldness in the hearts of Chilli fans when the last event of the day was over. Yes, it finally happened, Chillicothe defeated Woodruff 605 to 525. This is the first year that Chillicothe has ever beat Woodruff and it marked a job well done, for Woodruff was again one of the track powers of the state. If the Peoria schools thought that Peoria Central would slap down the u p s t a r t Ghosts in their second meet of the year, they were greatly surprised for Chillicothe handed Central one of the worst beatings that that school has ever received. The score was 80 1l3 to 32 2Q3 and Coach George Taylor and his men went home well satisfied that they made up for all the defeats given them by the larger Peoria schools. Alan Taylor won the 100 and the 220 in both of these meets and iron man Gordon Adams did like- wise with the mile and 880. The third week of the season found Chilli- cothe at the Geneseo Day Relays. Chilli started off slow but finished with a rush that carried them past Hall Township and into their third straight victory. Confident that they were on their way to one of the best seasons Chilli has ever had the Ghosts traveled to Normal to defend their crown at the Normal Relays. Things didn't go so well, however, and Chilli wound up a poor fourth. Princeton was the winner, a team that Chilli had beaten by 20 points at Geneseo. The next meet on the schedule was the Galva Relays. It was held in near freezing temper- ature and on a rain soaked track, but Chilli once again proved they were good mudders by winning easily. Defending champion, Gal- va, was second. The fourth annual Illio Conference Track Meet found Chillicothe going after their fourth straight title. The meet was held in the afternoon at Peoria Stadium and rain that morning made the track a rather slow One. The Ghosts started off all right but dis- aster struck when Taylor pulled a leg muscle in the 220 and wound up third. This of course knocked him out of the 880 relay. More points were lost when Vince Cain was disqualified in the hundred for too many false starts. All in all Chilli wound up losing the meet by 8110 of a point to hard fighting Morton. Morton too, was running in hard luck as their star pole vaulter was left home sick. Gordon Adams failed in his try to crack the mile record but still won handily. The only record set by the Ghosts was the Freshman-Sophomore relay team that broke the tape in a neat 1:41.5. This relay team by the way had broken the school rec- ord earlier in the season by turning in a remarkable 1:40.9. Taylor out for the year and pole vaulter LeVon Pence also handicapped by pulled muscles, Chilli qualified only one man for the State at the District in Peoria. This man, of course, was Gordon Adams who further lowered his school record in the mile in a sensational 4:36.7 effort. Gordon again ran a good mile at the state, but just finished out of the running. Coach George Taylor entered a few men at the Geneseo Night Relays and they too made a good showing. Next year's track team should win their share and the year after that they should be good enough to win all the time. The point-getters on the Chilli team were as follows: Dashmen - Taylor, Cain, Jones, S m i t h , Brown, Rose. Distance - Adams, Smith, Kaufman. Weights - Bradley, Jones, Gasway, Pred- more. Hurdles - Gasway, Rankin, Jones, Richard- son, McCabe, Taylor, Razo. Jumps - Pence, Irions, Calvin, Gasway, Ran- kin, McCabe. F-S Relay - Rose, Taylor, Draggist, Jones. Baseball Rain and cold weather held outdoor prac- tices to a standstill and practices indoors were very limited. With just three outdoor practices under their belts the Ghosts tra- veled to Mortpn for a game with the Potters and came ont on the short end 7-5. The Ghosts oui-hit the Potters 8-2, but 7 walks kept Morton runners circling the bases. The Tremont Turks were next on the schedule and the Ghosts again went down to defeat 13-8. The Turks, who were eventually the Champions of the Illio Conference, hopped on Reese for 10 runs in the first three innings and the Ghosts , although fighting back gamely, could not overcome the deficit. The Metamora Redbirds met the local nine on the Chillicothe diamond and were defeated 4-0. Reese, after a mediocre showing in his first two games, pitched a beautiful game and al- lowed only two hits. Chilli got only five hits off the offerings of Guth, but two of them were triples and these bunched with a couple of errors produced enough runs to win for the 'Ghosts . On a rainy afternoon the team went to Farmington on what appeared to be a wild goose chase, but by game time the rain had stopped and Chilli jumped off to a two run lead in the first inning. The Farmers promptly tied it up in their half of the first and the game was close for a few innings. Rain came in the fourth inning and three runs for Chilli came in the fifth. Three more runs were added in the sixth as insurance for an 8-3 Chillicothe victory. Draggist went the entire route for Chilli and gave up just five hits. After having one game rained out, by a cloudburst on April 10, the Panthers from Washington decided to try again on' May ll. Try is about all they did as Reese surpassed his two hit shut-out against Met- amora with a one hit shut-out against Wash- ington. Two men reached base, one on an error and the other by a hit in the fifth inn- ing. Reese struck out nine and walked none. Meanwhile his teammates jumped on Toad Fox for seven hits and the same number of runs and the ball game. The Green Hornets journed to Chillicothe from Eureka and were promptly stung 10-0. Draggist pitched for the Ghosts and his mates gave him a four run lead in the first inning. Russ, after practically assuring a Chilli victory, retired to right field in the fourth inning in favor of Gilbert Lopez. Gilbert, who never pitched a game before, went the rest of the way and did a very good job, allowing the Hornets only six scattered hits and no runs while striking out four. Chillicothe drew Woodruff in district play and on a cloudy afternoon traveled to Princeville to play the Warriors. Woodruff got off to a one run lead in the first inning without benefit of a hit. Two more runs in the fourth gave Woodruff its margin of victory as the Ghost scored one run in the fifth. Young, the Woodruff pitcher, gave up two hits, one run, and struck out twelve. Reese was almost as effective as he allowed only two hits, three runs, and struck out seven. Errors behind Reese proved to be Chilli's downfall. For the first season in three years baseball proved very successful at Chilli High. The prospects for coming years are on the bright side as only three boys are lost through graduation. Members of the squad were: D. Rankin, T. Baker, L. Pence, T. Calvin, D. Irions, B. Miller. B. Razo, G. Lopez, E. Reese, A. Ramos, D. Lucas, R. Draagist, C. Predmore, J. Casey, G. McCabe, K. Boyle, L. Bridgeman, R. Lewis, and D. Perry. Leading batters and their averages were: Pence .483, Lucas .385, Ramos .368, Reese .3l8, Razo .277, Calvin .238, Casey .235, Baker .250, and Predmore .250. In the slug- ging department Reese and Calvin both had two home runs, Reese had four triples, and Ramos had four doubles. Pitching records were, Reese 2-3 and Draggist 2-0.
