C. H. S. be complete without hhe M-Di-An to record the events. The four editors. under the Supervision of our advisors, compiled the material of the war- ious staffs to make up the annual. The photo- graphy Staff had to get pictures of all the stu- dlents in the school. The business manager had to see to it that enough money was made to fin- ance bhe annual. The advertising staff saw to it that people knew about the annual. The subscription staff took care of all people who wanted annuals or wished to put ads in the annual. Our vearbook tells of the advances made in our educational program during the school year. It will be a Ereat source of entertain- ment for the alumnae of the Minooka Schools to reminisce upon their school days through the pages. We hope that the M-Di-An of '50 can accomplish its goal. eace iloe CACLHW FIRST ROW: Miss Peterson. Advisor, Evzigene Marvin, Pat Littlefair, Lois Lawson. Bette Sever- son, Jane Vain Asdlen.

The PEACE PIPE CHATTER was publish- ed every three weeks by the office training girls of the lvlinooka Community l-ligh School. This paper was distributed to all students, faculty members, and school per- sonnel. We traded copies of our paper with neiahborina schools. This heh-ed us to know some of the activities of other schools and to become closer friends with them. These papers also gave us clever ideas in producing our own paper. The PEACH PIPF CHATTFR published all stories of current interest to our school, sports events, club events, class news, grade school news, and an up-to-date calendar of events for the following three weeks. The paper usually contained twelve pages, ex- cept at Christmas, graduation, and a few special holidays when we were able to spend more time on it. There were twelve members on our staff, so each girl was res- ponsible for one page. She had to see to it that the news was gathered, typed, and set up in dummy form, to be later cut into the wax stencil that we used in our printing process. Each time a paper was put out, each girl would have a different job to do. We all took turns at writina editorials, drawing pictures on the mimeoscope, writing news stories, typing up dummy copy, and all the other jobs that go along with putting out a school paper. Printing the PEACE PIPE CHATTER was a lot of work, but we enjoyed doing it, and we tried to make our paper one of which ,nc could be proud. l lRS'l' ROW: llclvn Cllxlv. livttv Svvvrson Imls Lsawsrm. l'11t1'iciz1 Km-vlm-V, Miss Mover. .'XClVl4Iil', SECOND ROW: Bun- ml- 'l'uclcl.

Boys and airls who knew nothing of musical instru- ments and musical notation previous to this year were soon playing many familiar tunes together. The band was organized with the fol- lowing instrumentationi Two flutes, eight clarinets, eleven cornets, three saxophones, one French horn, two trornbones, and two drums, As the year rolled by some band members changed instruments, some drop- ped, and several new members were ac- JE . th ,gi gb ri-as ' FIRST ROWg Roger Wright, William Stafford, Gail McHugh, Joyce Wlnterbottom.

Their aim was to promote a feeling of satisfaction among the students in helping them uphold self government in the school. There were two from each class that were elected by their classmates. The representatives were: Senior Class, Don Holt, Gordon Petersong lunior Class, Bonnie Todd, Don Williamson, Sophomore Class, lames Norton, Russell Knudsong Freshman Class, Marilyn Heitman, and Dale William- son. Mr. Siron was their advisor. The offic- ers for this year were: President, Don Holt, Secretary and Treasurer, Don Williamson. The Student Council met whenever nec- essary to discuss various problems that affected the school and the students. They were also responsible for the noonday re- creation and conduct in the hall-ways. Among other things the Student Council met and decided that something should be done about gum chewing during school hours. They made clever posters that did not flatter the gum chewing students. The penalty for gum chewing was to write a five hundred word theme explaining why you should or should not chew gum. There weren't very many themes written, We are sure they achieved their purpose. To prevent hard use on the phonograph, Bonnie Todd, Mildred Unland, and Eva' gene Marvin were appointed to take care of it whenever someone wished to use it. We are proud of our Student Council. sn R ,4 wr' 3 , v,Z ' yg in--3, ......X ' 4- .-iw 5 x I ,, ' f ..,1':, .. ,Qu ' Q rx A , ,,,.,,.AY .ht 3: 5 'f'f'. '- 4. ,Mx ' 1 'YW . I5 f,jg s -.
