THE CARDINAL VOLUME 11 Edited by the STUDENT BODY of 1932 WARRENSBURG COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Warrensburg, Illinois FOREWORD It is a custom of gypsies to gather about the huge bonfire after the evening meal while older members of the tribe tell of their life adventures. Their stories recall to the others memories that have faded in the past. It is our aim that this volume of the annual shall be a record of this year’s events that in the years to come you will all enjoy as you gather in family circles. We hope that this book will bring to you, our fellow classmates and the citizens of this community, many pleasant memories of the happy days spent in this school which you do not wish to forget.

I 14] =—THE CARDINAL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 1928, when the leaves were beginning to turn gold, brown and all of the other many bright colors that gypsies love so well, forty-eight young people organized into a band. They elected Bonnie Kruzan as leader. Obie Young and Catherine McGorray were her helpers. The band chose the blue of the sky, and the white of the stars as their colors by which they would be recognized. They liked these colors because they represented two of the things they loved to see above their campfire at night. The violet and lilies of the valley are their favorite flowers. Two of the fellow gypsies could not keep up with the others and dropped out after the first day. These forty-six young people were initiated into the W. C. H. S. Clan by a party given by another band, the Sophomores. They were well represented in all the activities during their first year. They won the inter-class basketball tournament, and several of their members were on the annual staff while others were literary society officers. During the summer of 1929 two of their members lost their places in the band. They came again the next fall. The leaders elected for the following year were Mr. Steninger as their advisor, Virginia Dickerson for the leader. She was aided by the cooperation of three helpers. Merle Major, William inters and Frankie Janvrin. Their band progressed well during its second year in the clan. They were well represented in the various activities. Again in the summer months of 1930 a number of fellow gypsies wandered from the trail until when it was again time to elect new leaders only thirty-eight young people were in the band. The advisor chosen this time was Miss Hoose. They were guided through the year by Boughn Binkley and his assistants, John Gambrill, Frankie Janvrin, and Willard Buckley. The third year was a very active period for all the members. Some of them were the hest players on the basketball team. They gave their play, which helped their finances along, and they became recognized as a possibility by the members of the other bands. In the spring they gave a banquet for the ones higher in the clan, the seniors. The dinner was given in typical gypsy fashion, with tents and campfires, and with the stars and blue sky over head. During the restless summer months the feet of a number of their band wandered from the trail, until—when they again came to the happiest time of the year for the gypsies—only thirty-five dignified members were left. They were the highest in the clan except for those who were charter members, namely the alumni. Their ideas and superiority were recognized. They chose as their class advisors Mr. Steninger and Miss Hoblit. Capable leaders were chosen for they knew that pitfalls in the trail would endanger them before they reached the place at which they would become charter members. Their able leader, Lewis Paxton, was assisted by Junior Eaton, William Winters, and Marguerite Faw-cett. Early in the year they gave their class play which went over big. They have now come to the time when they will be permanent members of the clan, but never again will they gather before the campfire every day to learn their lessons of life. Only once a year will they again be gathered together. Many of their members will wander off to join other clans, but they will never forget the lessons learned in that good old W. C. H. S. f 15] Helen McQueen. THE CARDINAL A CLASS PROPHECY THE VOICE OF THE SMOKE” White smoke trailed upward from the gypsy camp into the still blackness. A drowsy sentinel sat watching the silent figures of the sleeping men grouped about him. As he sat there watching the flames leap under the big black kettle, the genii of the smoke appeared. The sentinel whispered to him to tell him the fate of the graduating class of ’32. The genii grinned, and merrily, lustily told his prophecy: Willard Buckley, a rising young politician, was elected as a delegate to a peace conference. John Gambrill, a lawyer in the criminal court. Boughn Binkley, a tennis champion. Frankie Janvrin, a secretary to the President of the United States. Barbara Schroeder, a coach of a basketball team in New York.

The first social event of the year was a class party held at the high school. played the mysterious game of murder, and had a grand time. Social activities are not our only accomplishments. In basketball we had three good athletes, Archie James, Gene Baker and Orville Sheneman, who helped Warrensburg win the District Championship. These boys are also seen on track field. Our dramatic ability was shown March 31, this year. “The Arrival of Kitty,” our play, was a big success, and oh what a time we had getting it ready to present! Some time in May, we are to serve the Junior-Senior banquet. This event will finish up our activities for the year. We have all enjoyed it, and expect to do even more when we are Seniors.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright, sunshiny morning in September a band of eleven gypsies started on a trail that was to last for four adventuresome years. For the first few months the trail was rough and hard, but after the strangeness of the new life had worn off it became more easy for them to continue. In the day time there was not much time for play, but when night fell, there were many jolly activities in which they took part. At the end of the first year they came to that part of the country which belonged to the tribe of Sophomores. Now life became more interesting and there was much for this small band to do. They took part in the activities, festivities, literary and music. Many days passed and they now had arrived at the camp of the Junior tribe. Some of their members had been lost, so there are only eight, but this small band of gypsies holds their own among the larger tribes surrounding them. Sometimes it is difficult for them to climb the high barricades that bridge the path, but they all remain happy and content. This small tribe has one more year of the trail during their high school career but are ready to face the future. They have elected Ann Noel for president, Juanita Hood for vice-president, Orville Sheneman for secretary-treasurer, Miss Douglas and Mrs. Diers are their advisors. [21 ] THE CARDINAL 4- SOPHOMORES Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of high school students in their Sophomore year; No wonder their fame has spread so far! We’ll tell you the reasons—here they are: Of course we put lirst our pres’dent, Bill Butt, Who’s never 1 een known any classes to cut. Our vice-pres’dent’s Mike, or young Mr. Winters— A glance from his eyes tears a board into splinters. And then there is Dorothy—Dorothy Jean— Who’s the same to us all, doesn’t know the word “mean”. Next we present Robert Botts, William Disbrow, The “Laurel and Hardy” of our Warrensburg show. Boyd Binkley is quiet, but awfully smart, too— He drawls, but he’ll get there, we can bet you. Gwendene is a talker, as well as “hair waver”; For girls with straight hair she has proved a life-saver. Bob Gulick is new—just came here last fall; He blushes profusely, then grins at us all. Miss Retha Burdine is so quiet—oh my! She blushes quite easily, and she’s ever so shy. V. Kerwood as speller is Sophomore “champeen”— If you spell her down, you have to be keen. Mil Johnson is red-haired and ever so quiet— If she has a temper, her soft voice belies it. Miss Mary Louise has ability to be A future Jane Austen; at least, so think we. Have you ever noticed how innocent he looks? Bill Shoemaker doesn’t learn his mischief from books! Serene and gray-eyed is Marjorie Wickline, She’s always the same—no matter the time. Miss Mora lives up to her name, which is Good— She’s pleasant. Get mad? Why, she never would! [22] —THE CARDINAL Dorine’s full of fun, but can be so sedate— She isn’t the type to “prattle and prate”. But Hollywood has nothing on us; we’re able To offer M. Lehn as a second Clark Gable. Speaking of “doubles”, there’s one sho’s a darb—oh With Zada around, we can’t see Greta Garbo. We even have Bear twins, the “Cubs” you can see— The fact is, we have quite a me-nag-er-ie. And John Clark Batchelder! He’s shy, but don’t worry. He’s brilliant in studies—gets ’em all in a hurry. We’d like now to introduce one you all know: The one and inimitable Silas—Si Lowe. Miss Nettie is next, her praise shall be sung— She writes the best stories, does Miss Nettie Young! You know Edith Buckley, that dancer so fair? We’ll wager she “taps” her way up that gold stair! Grace Hanes is a girl whom we all like to meet— A marvelous student, and also—she’s sweet. B. Hursh is a synonym for the word “pep”; One look in her eyes—watch out how you step! There’s one who has skin that you’d “just love to touch If Medford should find us, we’d not be worth much. “Viv” Janvrin is jolly, and likes books “right well”, Good-looking and brainy—unusual to tell. For Dorothy life’s always in a Major key— Around her there’s bound to be sweet harmony. Edith Kershner looks quiet, and she likes to read; She has all the pep that a person could need. B. Kepler has eyes that can smile or be grim— When Gene hangs around, well—we envy him. For basketball stars, we have our high hopes With Littrell around, ’cause he “knows the ropes”. Maid Marian reminds us of Miss Priscilla Alden, She seems awfully shy, at least till she’s called on. Margaret Parish likes music a lot, ’tis true— It’s no “fib” to tell—she likes other things too.

On the first lap of their journey they seem to be having a gay time for they are all singing and laughing together. They come into the valley and ate camping there fot the night. Just as the huge yellow moon is rising over the slope of the distant hills, they can be seen sitting around a large campfire; they are electing their officers for the coming year. They have Edith Buckley for their president, Dorothy Major, vice-president, and Elinor McGrath, secretary. They choose as advisor for helping them through the hardships of the year (and also Latin 1), Miss Moretz. Since that time they have lost a few but have gained one. On the second year of their journey, they elect for president. Willard Butt, vice-president, Victo-Winters, secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Schroeder, and as advisor, Mr. Serkes. Now the last covered wagon goes from our sight; another year is coming and bringing with it—who knows what? [24 1 -—THE CARDINAL' FRESHMEN We have just finished taking the first step on our journey on the Great Highway. In grade school we learned the fundamentals upon which we may base all our future learning. We tried to learn these well. Now we are beginning something new and different. The methods of studying and learning are much the same, but now we are studying more in detail the things we have already learned. Our fellow classmates are few in number but we do not consider this a handicap as we are all working together for our mutual benefit and towards the same goal. There are many others here who are striving to reach this goal. Although we were unaccustomed to this new life we will soon be able to fit in with the activities in this school. With such an advantage we are confident that in the future years our tasks and studies will not be difficult. Each day new and easier ways of performing these tasks are discovered. Those who know the way better than we do have helped us very much. They know our hardships and have been very considerate in aiding us as much as they can. We hope that next year and in the years to come we may be able to help those who are following in our footsteps. Being a small class in the beginning we regretted losing two or three of our members very much. For this reason there will be a sincere welcome for anyone who wishes to join us in traveling this Highway of Success.

Dear Joan: Not much time, but I must write you a note to tell you about our Junior play, “The Arrival of Kitty,” that was given last night. If the audience had half the “kick” out of it that we had in presenting it. well—! The scene was laid in the Halcyon House, a summer hotel in the Catskill mountains. You remember Dean Beall, of course. Can you imagine him blacked up to make one of the best looking darkey porters ever? He was fine, although he had difficulty in finding the owner of a trunk. Archie James, as Ting, pseudo-boss of the hotel, was great—even though he did have a time keeping the pillow in place. Orville Sheneman played the part of William Winkler, a bachelor of fifty-five summers, who was secretly in love with a New York stage actress, Kitty Benders. I was Aunt Jane—a prissy old maid—who wanted a husband terrifically, and offered Orville $10,000 if he could find one for me. Ann Noel took the part of Jane, a pretty girl of eighteen, who. though she was betrothed to Benjamin More, loved Bobbie Baxter, a Yale student, whose part was taken by Gene Baker. He had a difficult role in that he had to impersonate Kitty Benders. Did he ever make a good girl! You should have heard him change his voice. Benjamin More was a wealthy old bachelor friend of Jane’s father, whom, according to his will, she must marry if she is to inherit any of his fortune. Lucien Willard was screamingly funny. Kitty Benders, the New York actress, was played by Inez Littrell. You can imagine her astonishment when she discovered her double (played by Gene) preceding her at the Halcyon House. I wish you could have been here because it was one of the funniest comedies given here at Warrensburg. The play was chuck full of laughs. Must hurry to get this in the mail. Lovingly, “Marg.” f 29] THE CARDINAL Oli Yez! Oh Yez! Hear ye! Hear ye! All about ye Senior playe— Presented on ye nighte of November sixth, last. Eleven members of ye noble and renownede class Combined to present a most mystifying and engrossing thriller Known as “Oh Kay,” which takes its name from ye heroine, Kay Millis, played adeptly by a dainty lass, Miss Bonnie Kruzan. Be it known that ye Whitman family was much excited over strange Disappearance of ye family “jools”. Art Whitman, a youthful lad, who was in reality, John Gambrill Protected his people with a most impressive revolver, Thus causing his mother—Feme Kepler— And “Gram” Pembroke—Ruth Baker—many anxious and worried moments. Edith Whitman, a would-be authoress, was that attractive Miss Marguerite Fawcett. She it was who was responsible for ye Masquerading of her friend, Alice Borden (Virginia Dickerson) To impersonate ye “Black Terror”, Merely to watch reaction of her family. She was interested in plots! “Gramp” Pembroke, as ye would have known had ye been there. Was muchly interested in an old and decrepit Ford. Ye “Black Terror” was verily a terror with wicked designs; Robert Willard personified ye villain to a “T”. In addition to Alice Borden, who attempted to Imitate ye “Terror”, Was Him Hayes (Lewis Paxton), Who wore an evil-looking patch over his left eye and a mustache! Bill Buckley as Fred Alden played the part of a conspirator too. Thus complicating ye plot still further. Ye sudden appearance of Capt. George Whitman (Merle Major) Brought about ye discoverye of ye Terror, And so ended a most successful and Interesting playe— “Oh Kay!” 130 1 I Ultra iu zmrion THE CARDINAL- A HISTRONIC SOCIETY Top row: Willard Buckley, Lcaton Culp, Harold Ingham, Gene Baker, Gene Willard, Handy Pease, John Clark Batchelder, Silas Lowe, Victor Kerwood, Melvin Lehti, Howard Littrcll, Roscoe Ingham, Virginia Dickerson, Margaret Faith.

Four years ago, the Class of ’32 were assigned to the two literary societies. Those who were assigned to the Histronic Society immediately found themselves in the midst of a fiery battle. The society had won the cup the preceding year, and they intended to retain it for the next year. These programs consisted of musical and literary numbers, and occasionally a one-act play. '1'hese programs were judged by the faculty, and at the close of the year they announced the winner. The efforts of the society were entirely successful, for they were again proclaimed the winners. In the years 1930-31 they were again victors; this made their third successive year as possessors of the cup. 'The next year, however, the Oratorian Society was announced as winner. 'This year, however, the Histronics are again out to win the cup, and they aren’t taking any chances of the Oratorians’ repeating their win this year. 132 1 =—THE CARDINAL’ ORATORIAN SOCIETY Top row: Louise Woodside, Emery Janvrin, Robert Willard, William Disbrow, Junior Eaton, Obie Young, Orville Sheneman, Boyd Binkley, Archie James, John Gambrill, Merle Major, Gearld Jobe, Robert Botts, Dean Beall, Nettie Young.

They are all working and hoping to win the cup again this year. It is the plan to have a program every Monday afternoon. Every two weeks each society is responsible for a program.

The beginning of the school term saw practically all of the girls, whether amateur or experienced, studying music with Miss Douglas as their able director. F.nthusiasm is not lacking in the Glee Club. Because of her ability for teaching music and her real interest in the club, Miss Douglas should receive much credit for its progress this year. The chorus was divided into three groups, soprano, second soprano, and alto. “Melody of Love” and “The Green Cathedral” are the two classics the club has been working on. At the beginning of the second semester special practices for some of the experienced members of the club were held in preparation for the Music Contest to be held in May. [34] B.

The Boys’ Glee Club started out at the beginning of the year as a howling success, holding their meetings twice a week under the direction of Miss Douglas. Filling the air with plaintive and complaintive songs, the melodious song-birds often reached such a gurgling height that the fire alarm had to be rung to clear the building of such outbursts. However, the Glee Club was dissolved before the end of the first semester because the boys insisted on letting Miss Douglas sing solos to entertain them, instead of trying to gain the knowledge she was trying to teach them.

I his year it receives instruction from Mr. Rich of Decatur and has shown a remarkable improvement. Band classes are held every Monday with a collective rehearsal after school. The band is small and some of the members VV'H graduate, so it is hoped more recruits can be found for next year.

[39] THE CARDINAL A- ENTIRELY IMAGINATION One night it was marvelous outside—simply terrible. The moon was beaming little two by four beams everywhere, and the sun was scorching hot. I walked out from my mansion, a wonderfully decorated charcoal and feather hut, into the river, clad only in a pair of wool lace curtains. The bricks on the bottom of the Niagara Falls were so dull they shaved my finger nails on the bottom of my feet so far away that I was quarantined for the knee and hip disease which I developed from under exertion. Just as the dentist appeared it began to hail. The snow came down as big as ostrich eggs and the frost fell so thick and fast that I had to use a microscope to find it. One of these louse eggs came down and hit me so hard that it knocked the coroner dead on the inferior complex, forcing his appendix out thru his eyeballs. The appendix, with its wings spread apart, gracefully strode the air whistling, “I Don’t Know Why”. After this episode, which took one kilogram of seconds and three calories of minutes, I continued on my journey toward no woman’s land, which is situated at the west pole. This is where all the rubber rolling-pins are manufactured through the process of osmosis. I was progressing at a mad rate crawling on the anvil found in my middle ear. Suddenly a famine came with a gust of wind and I was whirled into it by a little parasite with a lavender tail and sky-blue horns. The depression finally let go of my cotton blanket which was wrapped around my head to keep my muscles warm and dropped me into the middle of Alaska, where I sank deep into the snow and became a mere mermaid. Here I existed ever after not very happily. Betty Kepler. SPORTSMANSHIP Good sportsmanship has won many a good name. If only more could show it, T am sure they would be much happier and also make others feel the same way. It may be a hard task for some people to smile through all jolts, but if one could smile through them all, he would win many friends for his own. Here is one good policy to remember always—It is never too late to learn something to your credit. Marguerite Fawcett. [40 1 HCWLSCIC8 THE CARDINAL- A- DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The team entered the tournament with a determination and a spirit that was wonderful to see. Warrensburg played the first game with a smile and finished on top with the same smile, but they were a tired bunch of boys. The first game was against Macon, the second place holder in the Meridian Conference. Macon was highly keyed for this game and almost spilled the Cardinals, but that “never die spirit” won the game in the last fifteen seconds by one point. The next night our boys rested. The following evening we played Mt. Zion and this game proved to be an easy one for Warrensburg, for the Cardinals won 24 to 11. Decatur was the victim in the third round. The Decatur team that had spilled us the previous year, was our natural rival for the title this year. Everybody, except a few staunch followers and the team, seemed to give Decatur the edge. When our team came out on the floor for their warm up, things began to look bad for Decatur. The boys were in a cool, deliberate frame of mind that no one could mistake for other than the purpose to fight till the final gun. They went through their warm-up with machine-like precision, and they continued it throughout the game. The game started fast and furious with the Cardinals jumping into the lead. As the half ended, Decatur was ahead 14 to 10. Decatur opened the third quarter with a spurt which gave them a 17 to 12 advantage. In the furious last quarter, Warrensburg. as a result of its fast passing attack, scored 10 points to Decatur’s 2. The final score was 24 to 19. Our final game was against another old rival. Clinton, which had an exceptionally good team. The Cardinals got off to an early 9 to 3 lead, but the game of the night before began to tell and Clinton tied the score at 9 all as the half ended. After their rest at the half, the Cardinals came back to score five more points, eking out a deserved victory of 14 to 13 for the District Championship. THE SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT After the District win, the team began to feel they might go places in the Sectional, although they drew Hillsboro, one of the best teams in the state. The team made an excellent showing and fully deserved a victory, displaying a passing attack that had the opponents puzzled all the time, but an off-night at the free throw line was its downfall. The score was 30 to 21. [42] THE CARDINAL BASKETBALL TEAM Top row: Junior Eaton, Boughti Binkley, Orville Sheneman, Mr. Steninger, Mr. Serkes.

MACON COUNTY TOURNAMENT The County Tournament was held January 8 and 9 at Macon. Warrens-hurg and Maroa were two of the favorites. We opened the tournament against Argenta. The first part of the game was close and when Buckley fouled out it seemed bad for us, but two substitutes pepped up the team to give us a 19 to 17 victory. The following day we were to play Blue Mound. Remembering what nearly happened in our first game, we played good ball and won 25 to 10. The third and final game was with our old rival, Niantic, who had upset Maroa. We are happy to say that we gained “sweet revenge” for preceding games with them by winning 14 to 5, thus becoming the county champions.

Last year, although the team was considerably handicapped because they did not have a track to practice on, they had a good season to their credit. The team started the season off right by winning a dual meet from Argenta. Following this they journeyed to the Atlanta Relays, a contest of several schools with about five hundred contestants entered. They were successful in winning several points which is unusual for a small school at a large meet. At the County Meet, in the rain and wind, the team won third place, and at the end of the season they succeeded in winning second place in a triangular meet. Some of the older members of the team are gone this year, yet the team feels that this season will be as successful as the last one. We are hoping that they will win several new banners with which we may proudly decorate our gymnasium walls. [45] THE CARDINAL A INDIVIDUAL RECORD No Name Gaines F.G. F.T. T.P.

Our small team set a record of which the school and community are very proud, having a percentage of 78.6, winning twenty-two and losing six. The credit for the outstanding season goes chiefly to the boys upon whom the responsibility fell to follow the capable orders of Coach Serkes, who proved his ability to fit in with the system early in the season. I his record is far above any previously set at Warrensburg. It has established a standard which the younger boys will strive to surpass.

Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations. Sedulously avoid all polysyllable profundity, psitaceous vacuity, and ventriloquient vapidity. Shun prurient jocosity, and pestiferous profanity, obscurent or apparent. In other words talk plainly, truthfully, mean what you say; say what you mean, and “Don’t Use Rig Words”. ♦ ♦ t Many men are like kerosene lamps. They aren’t very bright. They’re often turned down, and frequently smoke; and go out nights. + + Billy D.: “Say, Mary Ann, have you taken morphine?” Mary Ann M.: “Why, no; who teaches it?” + + Lewis P.: “Have you an opening for a bright, energetic High School graduate?” Busy Financier: “Yes, and don’t slam it on the way out.” ♦ ♦ ♦ A grapefruit is only a lemon that saw its chance and made good. t ♦ ♦ Mr. Serkes: “Do you ever play anything by request?” Delighted Musician: “Certainly, sir.” Mr. Serkes: Then I wish that you would play dominoes until I’ve finished my lunch.” ♦ ♦ ♦ Judge: “You have been guilty of petty larceny. What do you want, $10 or ten days?” Crook: “I’ll take the money.” ♦ ♦ t Still, if you locked up the feeble minded, who’d write these jokes?
