STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS Each year a group of students is chosen from our five eastern conferences to receive the scholarships made available through the Chesbrough League and by Mr. S. F. Mersereau. in honor of his wife. Grace T. Mersereau. Full tuition is awarded to one student of each district which has 150 paid members of the Chesbrough League. In this way. Chesbrough makes Christian Education available to a larger number of deserving young people who might other-wise be deprived of such a privilege._______________________ 33 Secretary-Treasurer Kathryn Hc.ssler MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION The Ministerial Organization is primarily for those young people who feel definitely led to work for the Lord; although others who feel that they should participate in a religions club arc invited to membership also. The Ministerial Club directs the chapel service once a month at the Monroe County Home in Rochester, and during the last semester, the members have helped the minister at the State Penitentiary and Gospel Tabernacle located in Rochester. Motto: Our aim is to meet a need; our object is usefulness; our reward is more service. 34 FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE BANQUET On the unforgetahle night of May 12th. the College Freshmen class gave the Sophomores the traditional banquet. Who can ever forget the beautiful stockade enclosure, the covered wagon with the large “29” numerals painted on its side; the large stone well? On the tables were miniature log cabins made of match sticks.—carrying out a real western theme to perfection. Everything was so realistic—beautiful green grass underfoot, the paths winding in and out until they stretched narrowly into the woodland. As the beautiful full moon spread its gleaming rays down through the branches of the trees, beautiful Hawaiian guitar music blended with voices of cowboys pervaded the enclosure. Everyone seemed to be filled with ecstasy. The tables were arranged near the sides of the enclosure in a large circle around the campfire. The menu was very appropriate for the occasion and was served to us by frontiersmen. The program was very nicely carried out. Many western songs were sung and western numbers played. The president of the Freshman Class. Arthur Lindsley. gave the farewell address to the Sophomores on behalf of the Freshman Class and let them know how much we had enjoyed their association in the past school year. livery faculty member present gave a speech in which the Sophomores were lauded for their accqm fishments during tjjeir stay at Chesbrough and wished them all sj_yxT‘ss fl every walje o!

The most outstanding award for Commercial Club members is the silver loving cup which is being presented by the club to the best first year typing student. 39 ADVANCED MUSIC DEPARTMENT All the members of the Advanced Music Department firmly believe that music is indispensable to a well-rounded life. Ches-brough students are becoming more and more interested in music as evidenced by the large number of students pursuing work in Harmony. Solfeggio. History and Appreciation of Music. Hymnology. Conducting and Rudiments of Music. Musical programs were sponsored throughout the months of May and June, climaxed by a very elaborate commencement musicale in Carpenter Hall parlors Saturday. June 10th. JUNIOR DEPARTMENT The Junior Music Department this year has been composed of eleven children of grade school age who have a strong musical inclination and show promise of real ability. During the first semester, the students were under the direction of Miss Snyder. Mrs. Fink has taught them for the past semester while Miss Snyder is away on a leave of absence. All the members have appeared on the numerous spring recitals held here on the campus. 40 ORCHESTRA The purpose of the Orchestra is to stimulate musical interest and talent along instrumental lines. Under the direction of Prof. Lawrence I). Fink, the orchestra has furnished entertainment for numerous programs during the school year.

She stands a noble monument of glory and renown. Chorus: Then to Chesbro, our dear Chesbro, we render our best praise. To our fair school of learning our glad voices we now raise; In this land of light and knowledge with which we all are blest. Midst the many Alma Maters, our dear Chesbro is the best. II Within her halls made famous by great men who labored here. The students of today assemble still from far and near; They emulate the deeds of those who’ve stood for truth and right. And then go forth, with courage hold, the wrongs of life to fight. III And so for Chesbro. firm and strong, with loyalty we stand. A host of zealous students from all parts of our fair land; With energy and deeds of might and every skill we know. We’ll work for her. we’ll pray for her. that she may always grow. 44 KEY. CI.Alilv II. WICK 1 1 V H OUR SCHOOL PASTOR Chesbrough students during the past three years have been greatly blessed by the ministry of the school pastor, the Rev. Clark B. Wickline. Under his zealous and energetic leadership, the North Chili church has been completely remodeled and enlarged to more than twice its original size. A fine large auditorium, one of the most beautiful in the Church, and seventeen commodious Sunday School rooms, heated by an oil burner and fully air conditioned, make the new building a delightful place in which to worship and study God’s word. 45 SPORTS BLACKS BASK KTBALL (left to right): Markey, Miner.

Dailey BOYS’ RED AND BLACK BASKETBALL The Reds took three games in a row this year, making it their third straight successful season. Their tight zone defense and fast breaking attack of Dailey. Fink, and Brownlee kept them well ahead. Coach Gaines of the Blacks was handicapped with a young, inexperienced squad that was hard hit by the eligibility rules. The Blacks fought hard and with determination but lacked the finished technique required to win. From both teams a varsity was selected which waged a successful campaign against the town team. FRF.

GIRLS’ RED AND BLACK BASKETBALL For five straight years the Black girls have won until it has become almost a tradition. However, by winning the first two games this year, the Red showed they were out to turn the tables. The Blacks showed their old form by coining right back to win the next two. In the deciding game it was still anyone's series, hirst, the Reds were ahead, then the Blacks. When the final whistle sounded, the Reds had succeeded by just one point. 49 H. S.

College Freshmen, and College Sophomore teams vie with each other to start the season. Then the players are divided into Red and Black teams that play a second series. At the end of the season letters are awarded, and a Varsity is chosen from outstanding players of both teams. This year the girls enjoyed their second season of soccer. Many were the spills and tumbles, yet every one took them with a grin. Although this year the playing was still a little ragged, there was shown a great improvement over last year. The High School captured the class series. Then in the Red and Black games the Red team was able to come through with no defeats and only one tie on its record. Although the hoys’ playing was fast and showed good defensive work, the scoring combinations of other years were lacking. The Freshmen won the class series for the hoys. The Red hoys were also able to merge undefeated. although they played several tie games. so — To the Advertisers in this 1939 “Chesbronian , the Staff feels a real debt of Gratitude, for without their kindly interest, such a publication would not be possible.
