Dedication It has been our truest ambition and untiring effort to accent- uate and give form to the memories of our high school days which in after years will be most cherished. In this attempt, the 1953 volume of the Chillicothe High School Sequence is here offered to our school and its students. May its contents be pre- served and in days to come its pages turned back to bring many happy memories.

It was a happy year around Chilli Hi. I remember our classes, our assemblies and all of the little things that made our year complete. To you and me Chilli Hi was a lot of big things and little things. From registration, where we greeted our friends and got ready for the school year, through the year's events, to graduation where many of us said good-by to our alma mater, we were a happy family. I remember the faculty, our loyal teachers who did their best to make scholars of us— 5 MR. FLEMING B. S., Bradley University M. S.. Bradley University Advisor Freshman Class MR. LANCE B. A..

Junior Red Cross School Board TOP ROW: Mr. H. Beaumont; Mr. J. E. Cooper. BOTTOM ROW: Mr. L. Wilkey. Sec.; Mr. H. Schaffner; Mr. S. R. Northrup. Pres.; Mr. W. Overend. RIGHT: Mr. S. R. Northrup In the four years that we, the class of 1953, were in high school, the school board played one of the most important roles and received pro- bably the least credit. It was the board that put forth the bond issue that built us a new gym. They added the parking lot, the practice foot- ball field, and the baseball diamond. They remodeled the old gym into four new classrooms, the book room, the reception room, and the com- bination music room and Little Theater, and they changed one of the old classrooms into a new and bigger library. The members of the school board are: Mr. L. Wilkey, Mr. H. Schaffner, Mr. H. Beaumont, Mr. J. E. Cooper, and Mr. W. Overend. Mr. S. R. Northrup is president of the board. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the board members for all the many things they have done for the good of the school. School Friends Two of the men often seen round the building during a basketball game or a dance are the policemen, Mr. Koch and Mr. McLaughlin, who serve the school for what they are really worth. Chilli High is very fortunate to have such capable janitors and policemen in their midst. Some of the most important people about Chilli High who are seldom given the credit due them are our faithful jani- tors. The responsibility of giving the school that clean look is the duty of our janitors. Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Bungard, and Mr. Hoover all willingly serve the students and faculty.

Chuck Adams will be the Student Council President for the year of 1953-54. 54 Classes I remember the classes, where our teachers struggled to teach us something. From algebra to shop, from history to home economics we worked together and separately to benefit our selves and others. These were our real purposes in school and they will be remembered all our lives. 55 GOVERNMENT Mr. McNamara-Mr. Scott-dates I couldn't remem- ber-The American Observer with its corny jokes- over heated 104-$economics$-term papers-Mr. Parr- the citizen I studied to be, but didn't turn out to be-the last minute rush to complete my current-event read- ing list.

Commerce N 1 PERSONAL TYPING 60 BUSINESS TRAINING Physical Every hour of the day the gym is filled with shouting students. Girls P.E. hours are always the loudest. Every girl will remember the fun of trying to think up an original basketball play, of modern dancing, and of all that Mrs. Brusseau taught them. If the boys are in the gym, under Mr. Lober's supervision, they are usually at one of four main sports—football, baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Not to be left out are the enjoyable (?) health classes on Fridays. Home Ec. Mrs. Keithley, Mrs. Endres, demonstrations, endless stack ol dishes, burned biscuits, nee- dles and pins, discussions on child care, snitch- ing a sample, ripping out crooked seams, flat cakes, using the brand new washing machine, too much salt or too much pepper, cutting out patterns, more dishes! The buzz of a band saw or the whirling of a wood lathe greets a visitor to Mr. Fleming's stamping ground, the shop. Here, under his watchful eyes, the boys construct and draw and learn to operate the machines. Here an unsightly slab of wood begins its journey, through the saws and lathes, through the jointer, the planer, through endless sandings and finishings, and emerges a beautiful lamp or table. Others LATIN Amo, te maxime-the pride in knowing how to say hello and goodby in Spanish after two years of the subject-the speeches that were supposed to be well-prepared, but turned out to be impromptu-the chicken we raised in ag that turned out to be a duck. fi 64 AGRICULTURE Activities I I remember our activities, our clubs and gather- ings we all took part in. A Tempest meeting at noon where the stories sometimes got extra flavor from our lunches. I can remember our yearbook meetings, cutting, pasting, writing, typing; all working together so that ourselves and our school could be more en- joyable. The club meetings and parties, all the little extra things we got from our activities— 65 ■'.ii MISTO Charles The Tempest quarterback, broke his wrist playing aga inst Dunlap.

The stu- dents who take part in the plays become members of the school's drama organization. The Chillicothe Masque and Gavel is not just a local group. It is part of a national organization. This year the Masque and Gavel members raised money by sponsoring food stands and dances, and then they bought curtains and properties for the stage and the reception room. Mrs. Trulin, who also directs the Junior Play, is the advisor; and Mary Ellen Fairfax is the president. REFRESHMENTS BACK ROW: J. Seaver. C. Adams. D. McKown. G. Claycomb. L. Parr. R. Sturqeon. J.

This is a common occurrence every Thursday at the bowling alley when the girls take over for a series of ball lofting, ice cream, strikes (?). candy bars, fouls, and hamburgers. But rare- ly seen is a sober face among this gay bunch; even the low scorers find something to laugh about or enjoy.

Politics Registration 76 TO THE RIGHT; Voting The climax of several weeks of political events, including national conventions, rallies, and spee- ches, was on November third, election day. Nine- ty-two per cent of the registered voters went to the polls and elected the Republicans by twenty votes. The winning candidates were Jack Sween- ey and Bill Learnard. Registration Politics Republican Convention November 3 — The Polls Democrat Foreign Policy in Action Democratic Caucuses School There is something that exists in our school and every school, says Lynn Horton, without our being fully aware that it is there. School spirit is that something, and I doubt that anyone could give a description of it in a few words. Sandy Mooney has heard people say school spirit is what binds and holds the school system to- gether. Is it the willingness of students to work at games, dances, and parties; readiness to do the little jobs like cleaning up paper on the field after a game, passing out programs, collecting money and stamp- ing people at dances? she asks. Is it showing your enthusiasm by cheering your team on to victory, ex- hibiting good sportsmanship in either victory or defeat? Is it respect for and co-operation with teachers? Geneva Schaufelberger believes, School spirit is the everyday, little things, the friendliness, and the way we go about doing the small tasks. David Rogers says, The boys who play on the athletic team have school spirit, for they want to have a winning team in the name of the school. He points out the same spirit in the people who watch the game and cheer the team. Jerry Zinser asks, What about the boy who goes to all the practices, trains faithfully, and still, knows he won't play in the game that evening? No matter how you look at it, Carol Rench feels, school spirit is simply school life. The ring of laughter in the halls, a cheering section on a frosty October night, the vigorous sound of the marching band—these things and a thousand more combine to make the spirit of Chilli Hi, points out Bill Learnard. It is reflected in the soft tones of the orchestra at the Prom, and in the noiseless shuffle of dancing feet. It is found in the gay, carefree sound of young voices in the halls. It is in the chrisp feeling of a winter walk to school or in the warm, sleepy feeling of a spring night after a track meet. School spirit is everywhere we go, everywhere we look, Bill continues. We see it in the dash for the end-zone in a football contest, or in the little extra motion it takes to put a lunch sack in the wastebasket instead of on the floor. It can be summed up in a few short words, We're all for one, we're one for all, we're all for the Ghosts and Chilli. Buren Galbraith contends, This 'spirit' is like a rainbow. Look at it from one side and it is real, tangible, beautiful; try to get behind it, and it van- ishes like a mist. Just take a look at the pictures on this page, advises Dick Henson. They, and all the pictures throughout this book, are pictures of school spirit. It is not an elusive, will-o-the-wisp thing that someone else has. You can't back out of it; you have it, too! Doesn't feel too bad, does it? SchOOl August, 1952 Thurs. Auq. 28 School opened September, 1952 Mon. Sept. 1 Leqal Holiday Fri. Sept. 12 F. B. Princeville H Fri. Sept. 19 Assembly, Jack Rank F. B.

After graduating from Eureka College, where he obtained his B. S. in Education, Mr. Taylor held the position of assistant coach at his alma mater. From Eureka Mr. Taylor went to Danvers Junior High School, where he also coached one year. From Dan- ver's he moved on to Manlius High School. There Mr. Taylor coached with great success for six years. After Manlius it was Bradford High School for three years. In 1944 Mr. Taylor joined the faculty of C.H.S.

The clamor and gaiety of homecoming week, the efforts of our own Barry- mores and Bankheads who gave us our plays each year; the gay spring feeling of the Prom and the happy but solemn feeling of graduation day. These and others were our special events. They gave us something to look for- ward to; something to remember. 116 Assemblies 1 Magic show 2 Ken Mills in Magic show 3 Radio program 4 This is acting? 5 Open wide 6 South of the Border 7 Foreign fashions 8 Mo from WIRL 9 Loretta, our radio reporter 10 Cancer quiz 11 Bird Caller 12 Gay caballeros 13 Latin club? 14 Father son 15 Normal Men's Glee Club 16 Uke expert 17 Christmas play—Christmas carolers 18 Viv Jim 19 Little Old Men Assemblies Vkfi' Assemblies Initiatwn Initiation was the event most dreaded and yet most looked forward to by incoming freshmen. When the day finally arrived, it proved to be a day of fun for all including the freshmen, even if it was at their expense. The general theme was a radio station with some of the freshmen giving the various programs. They were required to come dressed in suitable attire for the skit in which they were participating. Some of the skits were Three O'clock in the Morning, A Night in the Wine Cellar, and First Music Lesson. A few of the frosh had to walk on crackers, some ran potato sack races and others counted the boards on the gym floor. One race that was a little different was the one ran by the Siamese twins. The twins were linked by overall jackets buttoned together. The race that proved to delight the audience and participating couples most was the wheel- barrow race in which the girls used the fellows as wheelbarrows. During the initiation, the sophs judged the actions and costumes. The winners were an- nounced at the close of the program. So ended the day that stands out well in the memory of Chilli High's freshman class. Initiation Initt afioti V. floats 125 After many weeks of hard work by the classes, clubs, and faculty members, the 1952 Homecoming came to a memorable end. By any standards, this homecoming proved to be one of the best ever in the history of Chilli High. The snake dance and bonfire on Thursday night roused the enthusiasm of the school. Many hours of hard work were spent planning and decorating the floats for the colorful pre-game parade. The winner of the trophy was the junior class with their fine por- trayal of the theme, We'U Sail Through Morton. Runner-up was the senior's float which carried out the theme, We're Expecting A Victory. On Friday night the football team made' a bril- liant contribution to the homecoming events with a 20-0 walloping of the Morton Potters. The climax of the evening was the crowning of the sophomore queen Carol Stuart by her king, John Grogan. Yes, we will remember the 1952 Homecoming for a long time. 128 Prom Committees King And Queen THE JUNIOR CLASS PRESENTS Men Ane. Jlibe.

Ted.. (Sylvia’s friends) Directed by Miriam Trulin As the story goes, Maudie, the younger sister (Mary Johnson), is always trying to impress and in- fluence the people around her by her mature philos- ophy of life. When the play opens, she is expounding to her friends the art of keeping the boys coming back for more by dropping little white lies. Sylvia (Judy Jones), Maudie's sister, is a quiet girl unable to hold the interest of any boy. Mrs. Ma- son (Judy Weitz), expects Maudie to sacrifice even hor own boyfriends to Sylvia. The climax of the play comes when Maudie's impetuousness causes everything to go wrong. She loses her closest friends, causes her father to lose a bank loan, ruins her sister's romance, and to top everything, loses her own boyfriend, Davy (Lonnie Parr). One by one all the disasters she has caused are worked out. Thus, the curtain is drawn on another of Chilli High's traditionally fine plays.

That record has brought us something beyond all other countries. It has brought us freedom of thought and action matched in no other country. I speak for these free- doms of ours, these blessings of liberty, I speak for Democracy! I speak for our independence, remember how it be- gan years ago: It was quiet now in the big room. The weeks of talk were over. The moment of decision had come. The man picked up a pen. Strange, to think he might hang for what he was about to do. Hang? Hang together or separately as Mr. Franklin had put it. Very well then he'd let them know that he'd gone into it with all his heart—with a clean conscience—with the deep conviction of a man who does what is right. He smiled, the pen swept across the parch- ment, and the letters stood out bold and clean: John Han- cock. Today, Americans look at that big firm, unafraid hand and see in it something familiar and naturally to them, the spirit of independence. In many ways, we Amer- icans declare our independence every day. We form our own opinions, and speak them without fear. We worship in our own ways, we plan our futures. I speak for this spirit of independence that we must never lose. I speak for others, for Roger Williams, for Anne Hutch- ison, for those who fought, for those who died so that we may worship as we choose. I speak for a boy, with a far-a-way look, a boy listen- ing to something no one else could hear. Other kids col- lected marbles; he collected sounds. The pockets of his memory were stuffed with the sounds of America living. There was the soft sound of his mother telling about the old days, and the hearty sound of his father chuckling at the children's games. There were field sounds, school sounds, church sounds, steamboat and train sounds, the sound of old folks remembering, and young folks hoping. And there were the haunting sounds of the levee, the banjos and the Negro voices singing of hard work and simple pleasure. Stephen Foster took them all and gave them back to the people the music they had made themselves. He gave them bouncy songs full of their own kind of longing. He caught their sense of the sweetness of life, its sadness and goodness. And most of all he caught their feeling about home— that American sense of home as a haven of security and peace—worth working for, worth saving for, worth protecting. I speak for Stephen Foster and Mark Twain, for John Hancock and Roger Williams, for all Americans and for all America—I speak for Democracy! I Speak for Democracy This is the voice of a slave—buried in a Siberian sa mine. For the last eight years I have been tortured by th lash of whips wielded by insane power-mad master known to the world as Russian Communists. On the nigl of January 7, 1944 these wild animals ravaged my horm land. Our homes and towns were burned and smashed My family was torn from me at bayonet point. We wer placed in cattle cars—each of us sent in opposite diret tions. My last memory of my mother was seeing her read ing helplessly from her pen towards another track wher my baby brother sat on the floor of the cattle car cryinc Mama-Mama . Eight long years have passed and 1 hav seen nor heard nothing of my family. Often I have praye for death which would eliminate this nightmare, but I a. not so lucky. Time means nothing but I am sure it has bee over a year since I last saw God's sun and walked abov ground rather than underground like an animal. This i only a small picture of the horror and terror that has par lyzed piillions of people just like you. I speak for demo: racy, but shh-h—not aloud,—I don't dare, for if I do ■ Russian bullet will smash into my brain. But each hour c the day I pray, Dear God, let people in other parts c this world never be so blind as my people were. Pleas may they realize that democracy can be lost as well a gained. Ours was a democracy, too, a freedom-loving natio: just like yours. We, too, had radios and cars, freedom c worship and freedom of speech, public schools and edi cated people. We also enjoyed Christmas dinner with ou families and were a happy people. We had true election for our President, just like you Americans. But all thes: wonderful gifts stemming from God were smashed in on blow by a nation which only understands power, lies am hatred, and whose main goal is world domination- God created all men equal, and as one of your grea American's said, a democracy must be for the people, b} the people and of the people, which shall not perish fron the earth. No—I don't speak for democracy, I shout fo democracy. I am pleading with you, America, the onh true democracy, left on this earth, to please, please givi us, buried in these salt mines, and millions of other slave: like us, some sign of hope which will give us the strengtl to rise with you to tear out this terrible cancer known a: Communism, whose slimy tentacles are even now reach ing into your homes and government and choking you freedom. —Glenna Arnold
