University of Illinois. Here’s to Mr. Alexander, may he long live to enjoy health, happiness, and prosperity. We, the class of ’26, hope that the choicest of blessings be his, for we owe him a great debt of gratitude. He has helped us through four years of trials and tribulations, has pardoned our faults, and praised our virtues. He has displayed patience and tact, but above all, wisdom, not only wisdom in books, but wisdom in human nature and the little things of life—a wisdom possessed by few. We, the class of ’26, hope that we may justify his faith in us and do credit to his teachings. We hope that, before his successful career has terminated, he will have one brilliant Physics t’ass, just one; for we feel that it would be the last touch of perfection, the crowning jewel of his many achievements. So now we bid him our last good-bye. We shall miss him greatly and always think of him with affection. We hope that in the years to come he will have just cause to remember with pride the class of ’26. —B. G. ’26. MISS TAYLOR, A. B. University of Illinois. We, the class of ’26, feel that Miss Taylor deserves not a little praise for her more than heroic efforts in teaching the Freshies that x p’us y doesn’t equal z, and that positive and negative numbers are altogether different. She also deserves much praise for teaching the Sophs the difference between a chinchbug and a spider, and how to distinguish a dandelion from a violet. She is the kind of teacher that is liked by veryone, and has won a friendly place in the hearts of us all. —M. H. ’26. MR. DUNSCOMB, B. S. Washington University. He is coach and teacher of Commerical subjects in W. C. H. S. His appearance is one that appeals to everyone—even the ladies. He never has a harsh word for anyone, yet his word is law. He is one of the best liked instructors, a good friend, and in fact, an all around good fellow—that’s Jobey. —G. R. ’26. MR. READY, B. S. Indiana State Normal. We, the class of ’26, deem it our duty, before leaving W. C. H. S., io give our able History and Civics teacher his due praise. Sometimes we think he is harsh with us, but what would we do if we were he? He is al ways willing and never too busy to explain anything we ask. He always gives us an opportunity to ask questions every day before class. We hope that sometime before he closes his teaching career, he will succeed in finding an ideal History and Civics class. —R. S. ’26. TOowa==== i� ■■ mmmt MISS HARTMAN Indiana Normal. The Senior class of ’26 would like to say a word for Miss Hartman. We feel that her teachings have not been in vain. We think that the members of the Sewing class have been convinced that fishworms and silkworms are not quite the same thing; and as for the members of the Cooking class, we believe that they will now be able to win their husbands through their culinary art. M iss Hartman was our Freshman and Sophcmore class advisor, and we wish to thank her for the help she has given us during that time. It is being whispered that the Junior class is expecting to give the Senior class of ’26 a banquet and Miss Hartman is to be the manager of it. We certainly wish her the best of success. —I. S. ’26. MRS. DUNN, B. A. University of Illinois. Miss Katherine Burd came to us this term as a member of the faculty. Everyone fell in love with her. As a teacher, she is a good friend of the W. C. H. S. members. Boys and girls are at her door morning and noon, for they love her smile and sunny disposition. Miss Burd gave us quite a shock when she Returned after the Christmas vacation as Mrs. llcn Dunn, but the storm soon blew over. To the Sophomores, Mrs. Dunn teaches Modern History. She is preparing the Seniors to become business managers by teaching them Shorthand and Typewriting. Public Speaking is also a subject taught, and I hear the Public Speaking class has achieved great wonders. Probably some day, in her old age, she may hear her students give great orations. Mrs. Dunn is a prominent member of the Orchestra. We, the Seniors of ’26, heartily wish her happiness and success in the future. —L. R. ’26. MfSS GUSTAFSON, A. B. University of Illinois. “Really and truly, now, don’t you think that the Mathematics teacher is the most popular teacher that we ever had’’? This question was asked me by a very influential and unmarried business man. My answer was prompt and affirmative. The class of ’26 declare that she is their favorite. (Probably a few girls would make exceptions to this declaration.) The reason is obvious. She was our Freshmen class advisor and at all times was very considerate of our shortcomings. Ever since then, she has been the Senior class advisor—no doubt because the Seniors get first choice. We, the class of ’26, leave the dear old school forever, but we take with us many pleasant memories, and the most prominent of these is the memory of that girlish figure which brightened the stern and grim Monster—The Faculty. —H.

A Monmouth College. We, the Seniors, wish to introduce to you Miss Jordan, the lady with the well developed voice for speaking above the mumbling and outbursts of titters from the well behaved Senior English class. She also has a very winning way about her most frequent outbursts of anger. At times, she becomes very furious with her most brilliant Seniors and starts out to give us a severe scolding, but before she gets through with her speech, our sweet and innocent faces convince her that we are not at all deserving of such, so she ends with a sweet forgiving little smile. Everything has gone smoothly in English this year, and most of the mysteries have been cleared up; however there still remains the old hen with her disturbing little cackle which the students on the back row insist is in the ventilator. We hope we will succeed in getting her out before next year. —J. B. ’26. MISS STEVENSON. A. B. University of Illinois. One day a represenative from the State Department was visiting Windsor Schools. He had been talking to members of the Freshmen Class, and upon seeing Miss Stevenson studying the Freshmen Latin lesson said, “Little girl, what grade were you in last year?” Miss Stevenson said nothing but gently bowed her head and walked away. We feel that the smallest member of the faculty deserves a great deal of praise for teaching the Freshmen that Alexander the Great did not live during the twentieth century. She does not deserve a little praise for teaching the Sophomores that each new sentence should begin with a capital letter and end with a period. —L. L. ’26. MISS GARVIN. University of Illinois. We feel that Miss Garvin, who has been a member of the faculty at W. C. H. S. for several years, deserves a great: deal of praise for teaching her Music classes that f sharp and b flat are not the same note. Each year the public looks forward to the Operetta that is given by Miss Garvin’s Music classes. About eight-thirty on every Wednesday morning, members of the Senior class inquire if anyone has seen Miss Garvin. Everyone lays aside his book when she enters the Assembly with her pleasant smile. Now we. the Senior class of ’26 bid her our last farewell. —M. S. ’26. 1026 Sixteen j mm m ni i ipow=mow q - •• mmb CLASS HISTORY It was in the early fall of the year 1922 that we, the Senici class of ’26, entered upon the threshold of our dear old high. How confusing everything was then! The looms seemed so large and everything was so strange to us, poor little innocents! But after a few weeks of search we found our class rooms and got settled in the daily joutine of school life. A few of us were at our grades, but c-ustide of that everything was as we expected. The Sophomores, the class of ’25, did not initiate us. I guess it was because they were afraid to. We had a few parties that year. The games were: Run for Your Supper, Cat and Mouse, and a few other interesting games. (Post Office was prohibited). There was a chicken fry that year and the light hardship of washing and drying the dishes fell to the lot of the Freshmen. But we went through it with grace. All during the year, a few members of our class dropped out occasionally, but still there was a large number of us left. Then came the closing of our first year of high school, which caused much sorrow'. Our vacation was soon over and we started into school again in September. Outside of a few parties, our Sophomore year proved unevent ful. During our Junior year, we initiated the Seniors of ’25. They were very much afraid of us, but I guess they lived over it. Then comes our Senior year. My! how dignified wc all look. The W. C. H. S. looks up to the Seniors as privileged characters. We never get “F” on our grade cards, and our reputation for intelligence is always being held up before the underclasses. But there is one thing that makes cur class rank highly—many famous basket ball players are in it. They are “Cackle”, “Bus’, “Irish”, “Bo”, and “Jitney”. These members of the Senior class in the W. C. H. S. team are known all over Centra! Illinois. I wonder if the underclassmen will be as good players? We wish them the best of luck, and we will leave this school for the Juniors to run next year. Wc sincerely hope they will be as successful in doing it as we, the class of ’26, have been. —Ruth Rankin. CLASS PROPHECY “Mary Liz, we sure are glad to have you with us for dinner this evening. It has been a long time since we used to run around hunting for ways to go to the basket ball games.” “I’ll say! But gee, Neva, you and Ralph sure have a keen little home here in Nashville. I ’spect I’ll drop in on you quite often since my Home Welfare work keeps me in this part of the country.” “Let’s see! Why! Why! Now—it’s been eight years since I was captain of that good old basket ball team. Say, Neva where’s my old annual? Let’s get it out while Mary is here and look over some of the good times we had at school.” “It’s in the bottom of your trunk in the attic. I ll get it.” Neva brings the book and they turn to the pictures of the Seniors. “Say, Ralph, I have not heard of Raymond. His picture reminds me to ask if he was ever president of anything but the Senior Class?” “He is in Washington, D. C., with the government, working in the treasury department.” “Oh say! Mary, did you know that Harold Nichols was designing evening gowns for a clothing firm in New York?” “No? I can tell a better one than that. Vivian Harrmann and ‘Shorty’ Finley were on their way to be married when they had a flat tire. It made Vivian mad and she was married to Clifford Stilabower the next week.” “Neva got a letter the other day from Letha Linder, telling us where some of the gang are. She is in North Dakota teaching a country school. She said that Bertha Smith was teaching school in Iowa.” “Did she mention Rose Goddard?” “Yes, Rose is still at home.” “Ralph, what became of all the lucky five on the team? I know that ‘Bus’ is president of a Bachelor’s Club in Chicago. I had lunch with him at the Drake last winter.” “Let’s sec—that’s most of them except ‘Rosie’ and Kearney. ‘Rosie’ is running a hash house in Mattoon and Kearney is street and alley cleaner in Strasburg. He married Elizabeth Freeland about four years ago.” “Bo Rose, where is he?” “He is somewhere in New Mexico. Can‘t say what he is doing.” “Oh, Neva, did you know that Maude Jones had gone to Europe to make a collection of famous paintings?” “Say, she’s no millionaire. Where is she going to get her dough?” “Didn’t you know that she and Kenneth York are married and they struck oil in Oklahoma?” “No. Guess you knewr Doris Hartsell was strutting her stuff with Zeigfield’s now?” “No.” “Fred Edmonds is a traveling salesman for the Standard Oil Co. now. He was up to the garage the other day.” “Oh, Ralph, you didn’t tell me that. Did he know anything about the rest of the kids from Gays” “Not much. He said he had married that 192(3 Seventeen lpo v= Uo v) girl over at Gays. Nellie Simmons is teaching history in Gays. Olin Phipps is midshipman. Let’s see, what did he say about Jane Bell? Oh yes, I believe it is Michigan where she is living.” “There is Grace Shelton’s picture. Where did she and her husband go?” “They are still living over by Bethany.” “Well, if there isn’t Gilbert Clem. What became of him?” “He is chorister in Brookland. He and Hay Tull are working together in a church there. Kay is a minister and doing great work.” “There is Elizabeth Jackson’s picture. I had almost forgotten her.” “She is with her brother in California.” “Say, Neva, did you know that Florence Juhnke and John Wall were married last month?” “No. Have you read the September issue of the American? Did you see the long article about Beulah Gordon’s wonderful writings? She is a great success.” “Inez Storm! Where is she anyway?” “Ralph, didn’t you say you heard she and Clifford Harder were to be married soon?” “Yes, and I told you that Daisy Swinford’s diamond from Corn was good, didn't I ?” “Where is Deana?” “Deana :s nursing in an Old Folks’ Home. She and Letha Rawlings went through training to gether.” “There is old Margarette. I saw her not long ago. She is chief cook in a cozy little flat in Day-ton, for some fellow from Shelbyville. I don’t know his name ” “There Is Herbert Clawson. Did you know, Mary, that he is manufacturing frolicking cars that don’t have to be steered?” “That is about as shocking as Maurine Spencer being a radio announcer.” “Yes, or Paul Moberley being a successful yell leader the last four years at the U. of I.” “Suppose you read ‘Polly’s’Troubles in thefim- nies now that Vivian Edwards has made so popular?” “Did you know that Roy Renshaw was coach in the Sexson Corner high now?” “No. But, Ralph, did you know that Aubrey Walden is Ford dealer in Middlesworth ?” “Yes, he and Ruth Rankin have lived there ever since they were married.” “Well, if there isn’t Mary Hart’s picture. Three guesses, Mary, where she is.” “Oh. I already know. She is tucked away in a nice little bungalow in Shelbyville.” “This is about all of them, isn’t it?” “No, we have another page yet.” “Everyone knows what a great success Ralph Neal has made on the stage.” “On the stage?” “Yes. He is a world famous impersonator. Got his stait mocking R. L. Don’t you remember?” “There is old Evelyn’s picture. Wonder if she is making a success with her blush proof powder she is making?” “Goodness, just look at the time. We must be going to bed if 1 have to leave so early in the morning.” “No, Mary, not until we finish with these last two pictures. I don’t knew where they are.” “Let’s see. Oh, Elizabeth Storm and Ruth Sexson. I happen to know where they are. Ruth is telephone operator in Neoga, and Elizabeth is selling insurance around Sullivan.” —Jane Bell CLASS WILL We, the class of 1926 of W. C. H. S., being of sound mind and memory do hereby make and de-dare this to be our last will and testament, on the twenty-third day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-six. To the Freshmen we bequeath the right of always having a good time in English. To the Sophomores we bequeath a little more wisdom. To the Juniors we leave our Senior rights and knowledge. To the faculty as a whole we leave our sympathy for losing such a brilliant and good looking class. Individually we bequeath to the faculty as follows: To Mr. Alexander, a Physics class that will always remember that one cubic centimeter of pure water is numerically equivalent to one gram of water. To Mr. Dunscomb, a basket ball team that will be able to defeat Lovington three times. To Miss Gustafson, a sleek, black haired sheik. To Miss Hartman, a Cooking class where at least two members car. make biscuits without looking at a cook book. To Mr. Ready, a class of Senior girls who will always be lady like and never run after the boys To Miss Jordan, a seavch warrant so she may be able to find the old hen the Senior boys tell her is in the ventilator in the back of the room. To Miss Stevenson, a man by the name of George from Arthur. To Mrs. Dunn, as much happiness in her married life as we have had in the last four years. To Miss Taylor, r. paddle, so that she may keep Kenneth quiet in the Assembly. To Miss Garvin, the art of making the Assembly pupils sing on Wednesday morning. Now in order to show our love for the Juniors we bequeath the following to them individually: To Margurette Barnhart, the right to be m the Senior class play next year. To Wayne Shelton, Gerald Rose leaves his height. To Della Chaney Vivian Edwards leaves her mischievous eyes. 102(3 Eighteen ' ..(O' — 0iPOW-UHoVV0_—•—(QMgjggp, To Gansel Bennett, Bus leaves his right to go frolicking six nights out of a week. To Mildred Lovins, a boy friend to visit her during the three minute period. To Merle Kirk, Neva Bence leaves her curly hair. To Duane Ripley, the right to talk to Della ( haney if he so desires. To Katherme Tull, a Stewardson sheik about the size of Bob Neal. To Ruby Bartley, we leave a promise from Harold that he’ll wait one more year. To Margie Rose, Nellie Simmons leaves one half her weight. To Earl Davidson, we bequeath Elizabeth to cook his meals. To Bryan Smith, a I«emon that is always sweet and never sour. To Wilda Grider, Mag Tull leaves her ability to capture a basket ball man. To George Goddard, we bestow Lura. To Clyde Robb, Harold Nichols leaves his ability to play basket ball and look at the girls at the same time. To Eva Holsapple, Mary Elizabeth leaves her right to scuffle in the hall.

To Paul Herron, we grant the privilege to be important. To Maudene Janes, some one to take Aubrey’s place. To John Robert Bruce, iron bones, so he will have no arms broken the coming season. To Willis Rawlings, plenty of candy to eat during school hours. Wc hereby seal, on this twenty-third day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six, our last will and testament. (signed) SENIORS. Witnesses—Willis Walker, J. A. Alexander. OUR SWAN SONG Windsor High we soon shall leave you, For we’re Seniors nearly through; Soon we’ll pass from out your portals, Different scenes and tasks to view. Four years of our journey’s ended, Soon we’ll pass to higher things; Now we gaily face the future, Ready for what e’er it brings. And yet we leave behind us, Joys we never more shall know; Joys beneath which Seniors only. Have a right to bask and glow. We leave behind our dignity, Our special row of seats; Our rights as privileged characters, But most of all our feats— Of bluffing through in History class, Of throwing paper wads; And escaping Ready’s notice, By the mercy of the Gods. Of studying our Physics, Till without a doubt we know; One cubic centimeter equals, One gram of H 2O Of playing such a major part, In study, sport and play; That I don’t know what this school will do, When we have gone away. Of making A’s in English, Though we create much commotion; (I never thought we laughed too much, But that’s Miss Jordan’s notion). Maybe sometimes we are boist’rous, But we all must have our fun; And the time for play and laughter, Is the time when you are young. Oh we’re Seniors! Happy Seniors, And we’ve got the best there is; Got the nerve and got the brain power, And we’ve got the pep and whiz. Now we’re leaving you, old High School, Never, never, to return; Others soon shall take our places, Learn the things that we have learned. So now we sing our swan song, And our clear young voices rise; In an anthem of rejoicing, Though the tears stand in our eyes. So with gladness, yet with sorrow, We shall bid our last good-bye; With the hope we’ll all do credit, To our dear old Windsor High. —Beulah. THE TIME, THE PLACE—THE BLOW-OUT It was just such a night as this when everybody was wishing everybody else good luck. The girls were blushing, the boys nervous, the older men in one corner spinning yarns of their former 192(5 )= Nineteen =ko.....-o fl ovv=liU o v %..:tm boyhood days, and the women in another exchanging recipes of hoecake, flapjacks, corn bread, and vinegar pie. Everyone was there, for there wasn’t a single person you could think of who wasn’t. Even old Sumantha Stoopintakit, who hadn’t been out for almost a year, and old Breeze Ezry, who had had three strokes of paralysis and always grunting about either the weather, or how short the women were wearing their skirts. “Yes, sir, boys,” old Breeze would say, “things are gittin’ puny bad when ye cin see their j hoeiops.” At about seven-thirty you could begin to hear the fiddles strike up some kind of an airy tunc like, “Turkey in the Straw” or something. The hall was crowded. “Go to the left and cast off four.” “Oh how 11 you swap or how’ll you trade your pretty girl for my old maid,” the caller would chime in every once in awhile. In one corner of the reception hail was a big I an of cracker jack for the youngsters, candy for the women, and cigars for the men. A large five-gallon jar, which served as a punch bowl, was standing on a table in the center of the room, full of fresh cider. An era of good feeling prevailed for this was the night of the Shucksville Blowout. —?dary Elizabeth Gilbert. WHEN A MAN’S A MAN IN AMERICAN LITERATURE CLASS Once there was a fellow who took American Literature. He was very quiet, attentive and honest. When the teacher would explain the next lesson, he would sit very still and listen. If there was any question he silently raised his hand to ask about it. When she passed out the papers, which were graded, he passed them on without looking at the grade on any but his own. If, by chance, he had failed to read his lesson, he listened quietly and got the most he could out of it. This he did at times, because he said that was what he was in school for. When some “Smart Alec” threw a piece of chalk at him, he never flinched, but sat in the same quiet way. One day the teacher sent him out of class for beating time with his foot to the music downstairs, though it wasn’t he who was guilty. Nevertheless he went out without arguing the matter. When asked why he didn’t tell the teacher that it wasn’t he, he said, “Oh, 1 didn't wish to start anything in class.” The fellow who was guilty, said “why not? That’s what I did it for—to cause some fun and get out of a little work.” The perfect man said. “Yes, we all know what you are. The class would be better off without you.” Then the fellow, who loved calamity, began to knock him and before long he was without a friend, except the teacher. Then he was called “Teacher’s Pet.” He stood up under the strain of being called names and playing a lone hand though he became white and thin. When school was out in the spring, he left town to find a job, since he had no friends in his home town, a I! because he did what he thought was expected of him, regardless of what happened. When he was last heard of he was trying to make new friends. —Olin Phipps. TOMORROW—AS I SHOULD LIKE TO SPEND IT I shall arise at seven o’clock. I shall have no cows to milk and no tires to patch before coming to school. I shall have niy chauffeur drive me to school and arrive at five to nine. After the bell has rung, we shall sing in a body for two hours, none of us being hoarse or in ill humor. I shall send my secretary to History while I read the daily paper. Perhaps I shall drop into class for a few minutes and give a talk. During this period my Literature secretary will be writing my written work for the day. I shall have an overstuffed rocker in the hack row, and some small boy to held my book and rock my chair. I may have him pass around some of my candy at interevals of ten minutes, and set a few tacks for the amazement of the people at large. Miss Jordan would probably tolerate anything on this day of “Dreams Come True.” The two periods following I shall devote to reading and sleeping. I would not come the next two periods, hut be lepresented by my Physics cxpeit. At Manual Training time, I will be attended by a full force of liveried secret service men an 1 a few refreshment boys. After seating myself at my automatic drafting table, I shall proceed to set all of the triggers and print my drawing on the paper without a mistake, after which I shall send it to my printer to be carefully lettered in. W'hen Mr. Ready had put his O. K. on it, 1 shall spend the rest of the time in consultation with the faculty on the betterment of working-conditions in W. C. H.

Just a few extra facts is all I’ll relate. We have studied hard, our credits to earn, Our teachers are proud of us, we’re so quick to learn. There’s only twenty-two of us, now in our class, And we’ll all be here rext year, for I know we’ll all pass. Now I’ll give you a hint if you’ll listen to reason, Paul and Earl will oe the cage stars of next season. We gave a great play, Penrod was the name, It made us some cash and a great deal of fame. Mrs. Dunn and Miss Hartman both merit some praise, For they stayed with us faithfully ’til the curtain did raise. This cash we will use, a banquet to serve To the Seniors, and I’m sure they deserve The swellest feed that money can buy, For we’re losing those Seniors I note with a sigh (most of them). —Margie Rose, ’27. m MY TRIP TO MARS On a bright June morning, the Right Reverend Burns and I set sail from the summit of Mt. Arat for the planet of Mars. We went as missionaries from the First Methodist church of Gays Our biplane, one of the best equipped in existence for a long journey, went soaring away into space at the rate of one thousand miles an hour. This was some faster than either the Reverend or I was accustomed to riding, but after we were well started, we enjoyed the rate immensely. We had fuel enough to carry us to Jupiter, where we stopped for a short time to get a fresh supply of gas and oil, also one of the wings was in need of slight repair. You may talk about your 1026 m Twenty-Five fl o v=WHo v mechanics in Windsor, but they cannot be compared with the ones who did the work for us on that stop. It would have been three days’ work for those workmen, but they did it in three minutes. By this swift work, we were delayed only five minutes. As we traveled on, we passed many small planets, and we were near enough to the moon that I waved at the man in it. He seemed pleased to see us, as he waved his hat at us as long as we could see him. We knew now that we were nearing the end of our journey as we could see smoke from many tall buildings, so we began to look for a parking place. It was not hard to find, for one of the most beautiful countries we had ever seen lay be-fore us. The trees were of an enormous size and were covered with beautiful blossoms, some of which would have measured ten feet across. The leaves were used by the natives to make roofs of their houses. Two of these leaves would cover the largest house in Mars. There were also many bright colored flowers, some of which were fifteen to twenty feet in height, with some of the most beautiful colored blossoms I had ever seen. We saw several birds flying about. The smallest ones were as large as an ostrich and we learned they were song birds. In a nearby house we found a broadcasting station to which we went at once, and the Reverend Burns sent word back to our many friends that we had arrived safely and would start on our duties as missionaries, at once. But alas for our good attentions! We were attacked by a dozen or more of the natives, who liked the taste of missionaries. We learned that the smoke from the tall chimneys was where they were cooking the unfortunate ones. We left our work unfinished and fled for our biplane and made the trip home in time for supper. —Margie Rose, ’27. OUR TEAM Coach “Jobey” and our captain, They, who led our boys to fame, Worked with taithful loyalty, With the highest goal their aim. Then “Bus,” our wonder player— He was known the whole state o'er; Folks watched him with amazement When his plays rolled up the score. Then Kearney, small but mighty, With his plays so swift and keen— We’re glad he was a member Of our famous Windsor team. And “Bo,” our long armed center, Always ready on the floor To do his bit in helping Windsor’s team run up the score. “Jit” kept our opponents down, Under his stern control, And broke up tricky passes When they tried to make a goal. We as a school do thank you For the honors you have brought, And always will remember The hard battles that you fought To keep our colors waving, And to win for us a name To rank with those of ethers Who have worked their way to fame. How well you have succeeded! How well your work was done! And now your fight is over, And oh, team, coach “Jobe,” You’ve won! —Wilda Grider, ’27.

Many of us ire skilled in mathematics, theme writing, art, music and domestic science. Soon after school had begun we initiated the Freshies and due to the supervision of Misses Jordan and Taylor (class advisors) we put it over successfully. Instead of entertaining them they had the honor of entertaining us with speeches, tongs and stunts. We showed our appreciation by giving them a bountiful feed. One of our brilliant organizations is our class basket ball team, the envy of all the other classes Such players as Fred Krile, Bruce Wall, Clinton Wall, Glcrn Goddard, Jean Walden, Elbert Neill, and the writer had the honor of composing the team. Some of the girls were a'so skilled in this gentle ait, they being Ellc-n Cole. Mary Smith, and Anna Edwards We have several pairs of ardent lovers such as Glen Ferrell and Irene Wallace, Glenn Goddard and Ruth Bartley, Robert Ross and Rita Walker, and Jean Walden is occasionally seen with a Freshman. Pauline Janes. We are ’ ather short on bo s as the girls outnumber us two to one. In our midst arc sevcial fair looking girls who help to spread our fame at home and abroad. W. Herbert Baldridge, Jr., Historian. THE NEED OF A NEW GYMNASIUM This subject is net a new one for my consideration, as I have felt for some time the growing need of a larger and better athletic room. There is much truth spoken in jests when our opponents call our gym a “cracker box” or “chicken coop.” As people take more and more interest in athletics and as our crowds increase, the gymnasium, which was 3mal! in the beginning, must ho enlarged to accommodate the crowds. Then again. 1 feel That it must be a handicap to practice or. a small floor and go out to other towns where teams are met on much larger ones. In considering the splendid record our boys have made this year I am inclined to believe we should build them a splendid new gymnasium, one in which we shall all be proud. —G!en Ferrell, ’28. 1020 Twenty-Nine ■■■o pM m o v (r—i Our Own Movie Our Hero ......... Raymond Robertson Our Heroine .... Mary Elizabeth Gilbert Our Villain.......... Raul Moberley Our Villainess ....... Wilda Grider First Reel—The Reginning One night when the moon failed to rise, Our Hero was on his way to call on Our Heroine. As his magnificent Ford rounded the curve on Hotsy-Totsy Hill, Our Hero perceived the body of a beautiful woman in his path. Although he was going one hundred and eighty-five miles per hour, his wonderful agility permitted him to stop within onc-sixteenth of an inch from her. He quickly descended from his car and went to her. As he stooped to pick her up, he received a terrific blow on the crown of his lovely auburn hair. The suddenness of the blow thoroughly surprised him. Second Reel—Four Hours Later. When Our Hero glanced about him, he was leisurely riding alone in the spacious back seat of his own car. As he became accustomed to the darkness, he saw a veiled woman and a heavy, thick-necked, ruddy complexioned man in the front seat. Our Hero sat perfectly quiet for a few seconds and then quickly opened the door and leaped upon a passing freight train. Our Villain immediately sensed that the plot was thickening and “stepped on the gas.” The race was on—Our Hero on the Hying freight and Our Villain in the six-cylinder Ford. Third Reel—The Riot Thickens. On and on went the race, until the freight stopped at Charlestonturrl. Our Hero thickened the plot by walking calmly before the on-rushing Ford. But Our Villain evidently wanted him alive for he did not run him down. He stopped ten miles down the road and when Our Hero came up, he tapped him on his Auburn crown and bound him, leg and limb. Fourth Reel—Enter Our Heroine Our Heroine by this time, was getting quite uneasy about the non-arrival of Our Hero. She sat by the window wondering whether he was un-tiue or was detained. Then suddenly she perceived Our Hero’s car coming at a terrific speed down the highway. Something seemed to tell Our Heroine that Our Hero was not at the wheel so she ran down to the road. On and on came the big car, and she waited. As it was about to pass her, Our Heroine leaped onto the spare tire at the rear. Fifth Reel—More Thickening in the Riot. On and on fled Our Villain and Our Villainess with Our Hero dying in the back seat and Our Heroine more and more faint and about to loosen her hold and die a more tragic death than Our Hero, who, at least, had a soft seat. Sixth Reel—The Climax. Bangl Our Villain stopped the car. On seeing a flat tire he went to the rear of the car for the spare tire and there he saw Our Heroine. Our Villainess, becoming anxious when Our Villain did not return to the car after an elapse of an hour, went to the rear of the car and saw Our Villain and Our Heroine embracing. She went back into the car and freed her reel husband and Our Hero.. Seventh Reel—The End. Our Hero and Our Villainess attend the beautiful wedding of Our Heroine and Our Villain. Bits of Conversation Rve Overheard George Goddard—Haven’t you missed me? Miss Gustafson—Well, no, George, I haven’t, since you are neither in any of my classes, nor in my assembly. Have you been ill? George- I’d say. Was in bed all last night. (George has spell of coughing) Miss G. Be careful there, George, or you’ll have to be in bed all right tonight, too. 2 Arland—Get out of my way, Mary. Don’t try to block me cause I can move 170 pounds. Mary Liz—Yes, but you can’t move 270. 3 Mr. Curry—(the day before the District tournament)—What’s our first game in the district tournament at Charleston? Mr. Dunscomb—Mattoon. And our second game will probably be with Strasburg. Mr. Curry—Oh, there is to be a second game? 4 Vivian Edwards—Say, did you see “The Merry Widow”? Helen Nichols—No, was it good? Vivian—I’ll say. Helen—What was it about? Vivian—Oh, a king, two princes and a woman. 5 Ralph Neill (Just before Modern History class commenced on March 6)—Where did Miss Burd go? Freddie Krite—Mrs. Burd Dunn done w’ent to see her man. 6 Bus (eye sparkling and a broad grin on his face)—Oh, Jobie, d-do you know what I saw a-at the t-top of the stairs this morning?

THE HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS August the thirty-first was a red-letter day On the first Friday in November, an invitation at Windsor Community High School. The most to a party was given us by our friends, the important event, in my opinion as historian, was Sophomores. Although some suspected an initia-thc arrival, on foot, horseback, or by flivver, of lion ceremony, few absentees were noticed, the Freshmen Class. We numbered thirty-five To our surprise we were treated much better boys and girls. than expected Grand speeches were made, some One evening a meeting was called by our class of the boys showed us how to drink “pop, some advisors.

THE MEANEST THING I EVER DID One day in Spring I went out doors to play with my pup3 and kittens. As I ran around the house with them I noticed a wooly worm crawling along the foundation of the house. I watched it a little while and then picked it up. It was so soft and fuzzy that I liked to play with it. I let it crawl on my hand. As I looked at it I noticed that it wrinkled its back up. I looked at it and said, “you little worm I wonder what you’d do if I binned all ycur p� etty fuz off?” I was anxious to see so I ran into the house with the worm in my pocket. Mother was very busy so I slipped into tie pantry and got a match. I went back in the yard and took the worm out of my pocket. I held it up with one hand and struck the match with the other. The wind blew it out every time. 1 went back for more matches but they all went out too. I went in once more and this time mother became suspicious. I ran out the door and I heard her say to my sister, “I w'onder w’hat she’s up to now.' Mother came around the corner just in time to see me strike another match. She gave me somethin? I shall never forget and it wasn’t the right to burn the hair eff a wrooly worm either. —Hazel Shewmake. m 1926 Mh Thirty-Three Thirty-Four Htblettcs Ipovv IiUovv FRONT ROW—Harrmann, Kearney, Robertson, Nihiscr, Rozene.

As a fitting climax to Windsor’s most successful basket ball season came th? winning of the Charleston tournament. With a team of new men—outside of Robertson and Nihiser—critics prophesied we should be lucky to win half our games. The first game with Strasburg foretold little as they were woefully weak and Windsor had only to drop the baskets in. Then the team surprised everyone by winning from Charleston 29 12 on the opponent’s floor. Perhaps after all, the team would win half the games. This was che first time in history we had won from Charleston. Jinx number 1 broken! Next came Cowden, fresh from an overwhelming victory over Vandalia and with a spotless record. They returned to their little village with a 20-11 defeat. Lovington opened her season with us—coming with a team of veterans and a five-man offense. The game was a thriller from the start and once more Windsor fans went home rejoicing. Two nights later, December 12, Charleston played a return game and fans again he!d their 1 reath as Windsor won out 20-18. Our sixth game in previous years had always brought defeat. Stewardson, undefeated, came with one purpose in mind. Before the game was twelve minutes old w had a 15-point lead. Jinx Number 2 broken and another team with its first defeat at our hands! Our next game was at Cowden—a team which had never lost on its home floor. After a long ride over rough roads and considerable delay over the arrival of a referee, w e broke Jinx Number 3. Arthur was next and in the last few minutes that game was pul’ed out of the fire. By now we were getting into the columns of the surrounding newspapers as one of the few teams to remain undefeated. Nor were we to be stopped yet. Christmas week the Alumni gathered together such famous old stars as Webb, Duncan, Linder, Finley, Edwards, Jones, and others fully convinced that they could do what no other team had done. They made a great stand and due largely to the work of Webb, scored 15 points against us. We played $=a 102(3 Thirty-Eight U o v=Mo v s sS? without Kearney and managed to have 20 points at the final gun. On Tuesday after the Christmas holidays we journeyed to Pana and for the first time things looked bad. Not a point in the whole first half! So this was that undefeated team! But that last half—the old comebacks—and 200 loyal fans returned happy. Next we went to Findlay—a team up to then defeated but once. When we left the once was changed to twice. The next week Shelbyville came over with blood in their eyes and in spite of the fact that we weren’t hitting managed to pull through with a 4-point margin. At Sullivan a few days later Nihiser scored 23 points of the 36 we amassed and Sullivan rung up 12. And next came the Stewardson game there. 21 to 14 tells the story—our winning streak still � r;tact. It looked as though it wouldn’t be at the half way mark of the Pana game here. Way be hind at the half people were all set to take the first defeat when the team displayed its wonderful comeback and again in a last quarter rally kept our record clean. MOULTRIE TOURNEY We wrere invited to take part in the Moultrie county tournament this year after one year’s absence. We drew Arthur for our first opponent and again with a last period rally won by a hair. I.ovington disposed of Sullivan so that meant wc should meet Lovington in the finals. The Sullivan gym was packed to see a great battle and thr crowd saw one. We trailed all the way until the last minute when we tied the count. With 20 seconds remaining Rorene was fouled. As “Rosey” stepped up to the foul line you could have heard a pin drop. Old steady Don was never more completely in control of himself than then and with all the calmness in the world he dropped the ball through. That little point meant the silver basket ball would come south on route 32 for the final gun sounded before the ball could be tossed up at center. SHELBY COUNTY TOURNEY And now, people, comes the saddest part of the story. Having defeated practically all the teams in Shelby county we took for granted we could do it again. Tower Hill was easy and Findlay was not considered hard. And right there is where we got our first upset. Twelve to 11— just one little point but if cost us the tournament. Stewardson defeated Shelbyville in the semifinals and defeated Findlay in the championship game while we took our revenge out on Shelby ii: the consolation game. Two years ago we broke Findlay’s winning streak of 17 games by a 12-11 score and this year they stopped us after 18 wins by the same score. Revenge is sweet—and the 47-11 whipping we gave Findlay w as soothing to say the least. It looked as though the defeat had dene us a world of good for the next week we wralloped Shelby on their own floor 37-23. The next two games were heart breakers. Backed by 250 rooters the team went to Lovington. Ir. the first quarter Lovington made six straight baskets from the center of the floor and had a 15-2 score on us before we hardly knew what hud happened. Steadily however wre climbed up on them and with 40 seconds remaining to be played we were leading by three points. During those 40 seconds Lovington scored two field goals and won 26-25. The same week Arthur slipped up on us and went home 22-20 victors. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Our boys came back with lots of fight after the two defeats and Mattoon fell by the w'ayside 32-25. Areola defeated Hindsboro 30-14 and appeared strong. The beys figured on a hard battle and went in to fight. The half ended 29-1 and then the seconds got a chance. The final count was 41-6—Areola failing to score a field goal. This put us in the semi-finals against Toledo while Stew’ardson and Charleston had won out in the ether bracket. Toledo was considered easy and due to that fact we had a hard time winning. Stewardson in the next game defeated Charleston, thus putting them against us for the championship. Never before this year had the team been keyed up to such a pitch. Like caged animals they paced the floor of the dressing room before game time. And then followed 32 minutes of thrilling basket ball. Because of the height of the Stewardson boys they secured an early lead and throughout the game things looked bad for us. Windsor fans kept telling themselves that the old comeback—that reserve power—that superior endurance coupled with the ability to take advantage of anv opportunity—would assert itself—and that faith in those things and in the team was not misplaced for in those last four minutes, trailing by foui points we displayed cur best basket ball and scored 10 points. Nihiser collapsed when the final gun sounded as cid also one of the Steward-son boys. Real sportsmanship prevailed throughout the tournament and the Teachers’ College rroved fine hosts. A i account of the last game appears elsewhere. Next in line was the sectional and w’hen it became known that Champaign was our first opponent many of the townspeople wrere ready to go down in defeat then. Champaign had won the title in the Big 12 conference, had lost but two games, and had won their district title from a formidable group. Our boys were on edge for the battle and wher. the smoke cleared away we were or. the long end of a 30-14 score. It w'as a hard loss for the Maroon and as a Champaign paper put it “the red fought until their tongues w’ere hanging out but what could they do against a team of giants?” It was the first time we had been called giants and we have wondered what the paper would have called Athens had Champaign met them. The mention of Athens reminds us that they were the ones who eliminated us. Big boys they were and basket ball players too. We out scored them the last half but it was the first half where we failed. Tn the consolation game Jobey chose to dress only his second team since it was not a championship grme and the game w’as soon turned into a farce. Referees Rotz and Eyer took turns shooting goals ard the crowd was in an uproar all the time. The official score was 40-26 in favor of Casey. Athens won the sectional, win- 102(3 Thirty-Nine fl OYV HClO Vfc CAPTAIN ROBERTSON NIHISER r.ing from Nokomis. Thus ended our most successful season—27 victories out of 32 games—two championships—a run of 18 consecutive victories— yards and yards of newspaper publicity—a man on the Central Illinois All-Star team—a second team with 10 victories and the unstinted support of a large group of loyal fans. NOTES OF THE SEASON The Senior B team won the class tournament, defeating the Senior A’s for the title. The 10 members of the squad were ruled out. In the sectional our team had a shooting percentage of .172. That ranked us fourth. In the Lovington game there we had 89 shots to their 37. Nihiser alone had 33 and sank nine of them. The squad was taken to Champaign to see the slate tournament. Nihiser was high scorer at the Shelby tourna- KEARNEY ment, at the district tournament and fourth at the sectional. Many humorous things occur during practices, (hie evening our back guard was all ready to leave the building when someone reminded him that he had not put his trousers on. During the first half of the season 17 men were taken on the trips. Later the number was reduced to 10. Mary E. Gilbert saw every game that was played. Jane Moberley, our little cheer leader, was always on the job and it was common to hear visitors or opponents speak of her grace. Here’s how big our “big” boys were: Robertson, five seven. 150 pounds; Nihiser, five eleven, 175 pounds; Rose, six two, 170 pounds; Nichols, five eleven, 170 pounds; Kearney, five seven, 135 pounds. The Team .1. H. DUNSCOMB The success of his teams this year and in the past speaks for him as a coach. Each year a better team seems to be his motto and we hope his teams continue to get better. CAPTAIN ROBERTSON In “Cackles” we had a forward who could always be relied upon for all that was in him. His thought was always “the team first.” He � s characterized by one well known official as “the headiest captain in central Illinois.” His consistent playing has been a great factor in the success of the past season. AKLAND NIHISER It is doubtful if any player in state high school basket ball got more publicity than “Bus.” As an offensive player he had few equals and the fact that he was selected on the first all-star team :n every tournament and that he was selected by The Review as the most valuable man in Central Illinois, speaks for itself. HOWARD KEARNEY This “overgrown kid” as the Champaign paper called him, developed into a speedy forward. When Kearney was “hot” he was “hot” as was evidenced in the Mattoon game. His work the last of the season was especially commendable. He was chosen as all-star forward in the district tournament. HAROLD NICHOLS “Jitney” was one of the causes for the low total of our opponents’ field goals. His guarding in the Champaign game was especially good. He has been called one of the best back guards in Windsor’s history. GERALD ROSE Big Bo jumped center and how that boy can jump! After the tip-off he engaged in the gentle NICHOLS ROZENE ROSE art of keeping the opponents from scoring; and of slipping; down the floor for an occasional shot Bo made the second team at the district tournament. DONALD ROZENE As a utility man “Rosey” has few’ equals. H ; played every position on the team and made th newspaper headlines when “Don Rozene’s free throw wins Moultrie title.” EARL DAVIDSON, Forward Earl is small but every pound of him spells fight. He’s a hard worker, a good shot and especially strong on defense. I'AUL DAVIDSON, Forward Paul is like Earl when it comes to fight and hard work and there is little doubt that these two l oys will bear the burden of next year’s offense. ROY REN SHAW, Guard Big Renshaw was a mighty good guard—dependable and conscientious. It’s too bad he won't be back next year. AUBREY WALDEN “Aub” proved to be a valuable substitute. The team had perfect confidence in his guarding and many times he was called on to fill the back guard’s position. Newspaper Clippings WINDSOR CRASHES THROUGH WITH TITLE AT CHARLESTON Nihiser in Star Role As Dunsconih Preps Turn Back Stewardson in Last Fcur Minutes by 24 to 21 Charleston, March 7.—Windsor High school, lead by one of the greatest, if not the greatest, individual stars ever to appear on a prep flooi in Charleston, won an uphill battle from Stew’ardson in the finals Saturday and clinched a 24-21 victory by a stirring rally in the last four minutes. In that rally Nihiser, who had kept his team in the running the first three quarters, was the big punch Stewardson’s game fighters led nearly all • of the way, but were never out far enough in front so that they could resort to the stalling game to protect their precious lead, and, after the third quarter ended 13-12 for Stewardson, the big fireworks of the tourney was sprung. Nihiser and Kearney D. Voris and Bruns had given Stew’ardson the lead, 18-16, with just four minutes left to play when Nihiser followed in a long shot by a teammate, leaped into the air and tipped the ball back ir. the basket to tie tiie score at 18-18. Stewardson then took time out, but immediately upon the resuming of play Kearney slipped through the loser? defense to sink a field goal, making it 20-18 for Windsor. Dappert of Stewardson made a free throw, but Kearney was fouled a moment later and came right back with two of them, making the count 22-19. D. Voris brought Stewardson within one point of a tie with a long field goal after the tip-off, 22-21, w’hen Nihiser pulled his most brilliant play of the game by intercepting a Stewardson pass and dribbling over half the length of the floor through the entire team to sink a pretty shot directly under neath the basket. That field goal clinched the game, for the gun cracked soon after. Nihiser Leading Scorer Nihiser, who was unanimous choice for all-star center and for honors as the best player in the tournament, was the big punch in the Windsor attack from the first game of the tournament. In the championship game he made five field goals U o v=liUo v and five free throws for 15 points, bringing his SMITH, G 0 0 total for the tournament up to 50 and giving him high scoring honors.

To say that the game was a surprise or an upset would be putting it mildly. Champaign, Big Tweive conference champions and defeated only twice during the season, had been picked tc win the game with comparative ease and was a favorite to cop the sectional title. Windsor, clearly demonstrating that their wonderful record for the season was proof of their ability as a team, stopped Champaign at every turn and played a superior game throughout. Windsor’s success lay in their incessant speed and following of ball everywhere it went. They were able tc keep possession of the ball most of the time and with snappy, clever passing were able to get long shots, short shots and open trys. Robertson, Kearney and Nihiser followed all shots and gained several )f their goals by neat plays around the basket. Lead Shooting Windsor was far ahead of Champaign in number of shots. The Shelby county lads made eighty-nine tries to their opponents’ forty-seven. In the first half it was Kearney and Robertson who were more successful. In the second half it was Nihiser. Rose and Nichols were as good on defense as the other three were on offense. Champaign had few pot shots or follows during the whole game. Rose’s height and success in tipping the ball kept it in Windsor’s hands a great amount of the time. For Champaign Captain Ray Fisher was outstanding. He was the key of the Moyer offense and the only one who was really consistent and good on defense. Carson and Derment displayed their cleverness in pivoting and play in advancing the ball but lacked in shooting accuracy. They were at times able to get under the goal, but either the speed or the work of the Windsor guards spoiled their close shots. Potter and Wiley were mmmm F orty-Two fl o v==Mo v injected to stay the Windsor rush or to add life to the Champaign attack, but to no avail, so Carson and Williams were sent back to finish the game. Fisher was put out on personals in the fourth quarter and Hagermar took his position. Steady Play The play of both {cams was steady all through the game. Windsor went up steadily without spurting and sc did Champaign. With an offense that successfully evaded all but Fisher, Windsor got their points and the amount of time that Windsor had the ball and a successful defense did not permit Champaign to make a higher score. Score by quarters 1 2 3 4—30 WINDSOR 6 6 11 7—-30 CHAMPAIGN 2 4 4 4—14 Officials—Eyer and Rotz.—Decatur Review. “BUS” IS TEAM BY HIMSELF, SAY WINDSOR FOES When any high school team steps on the tloor against Windsor’s unbeaten crew it is going up against two good teams at once. One is made up of four very capable basket tossers, Captain Robertson, Kearney, Rose and Nichols, while the ether is Arland “Bus” Nihiser, center and player extraordinary, who will have to be taken into account by anyone attempting to pick an ill-star team this season. “Bus” is a senior, 16 years old, five feet ten inches tall, weighs 175 pounds, and is playing his third year of high school basket ball. His best showing was against Sullivan, when he looped rine from the field and five from the foul line for 23 points, although he had previously scored 22 in the opener against Strasburg.—Decatur Herald. ROBERTSON DRAWS PRAISE Regardless of who won the sectional tournament or who is going to win the state meet next Friday and Saturday, Central Illinois basket ball was officially made a success when Windsor dropped Champaign in the first half of the Friday session. When the drawings were announced and Jobe Dunscomb’s boys had drawn the second best team in the state in 1924-1925, and which had lost but two games during the present season, few would have cared to predict the sort of drubbing which Windsor actually handed out to last year’s runner up. No excuses are made for their later defeat by Athens and no excuses are needed for the fact that they went down before a better team, but a good bit of credit is due to Captain Robertson, “Bus” Nihiser, Kearney, Rose and Nichols for giving W5ndsor and Central Illinois one of the best teams in Central Illinois during the past season. While a good bit of the spotlight directed at Windsor has fallen on Nihiser, and deservedly so, it must be remembered that one man can not make a team, and that he has been aided a good bit by the rest of the team. Captain Robertson, who has led the team from hi3 forward’s postion, has been a steady worker throughout the season, and deserves his share of the credit. In the Pana sectional he was especially active in both games, scoring six points in the victory over Champaign, and five field goals for 10 points against Athens. Like Nihiser, Robertson is a senior and will be lost to {he team next year.—Decatur Herald. WINDSOR WINS, SIR The basket ball game here Tuesday night between the old rivals, Windsor and Shelbyville, was won by Windsor, 37 to 23. It is no disgrace to be defeated by a team like Windsor sports, for The Democrat believes there is not a nicer, cleaner lot of boys in the state than those composing that fine basket hall team. Of course, the Shelbyville boys are nice fellows, too, but as basket ball players, they are far outclassed by the Windsor lads. Rotz of Decatur handled the job of referee, and did a good job of it as usual. Shelbyville has no alibi to offer for its defeat—end is willing to pass the honor to the Windsor lads, who have been so consistent winners all through the past basket ball season. Of course, in the County Tourney, Windsor lost to Findlay, bui since then the Windsor lads took the Findlay team to a 47 to 11 cleaning, showing that tourney game was more or less a lucky one for Findlay. Windsor will make some team in its district tourney ‘Step high, wide and handsome” to win over th m.—Shelbyville Democrat. SAYS WINDSOR SHOWS SPORTSMANSHIP Findlay folks were quite happy on Saturday afternoon when the word came that Coach Driver’ men had defeated the strong Windsor quintet and winners of the Moultrie county championship. After the final score was announced business was suspended and folks did little but “talk basket ball.” We might add that Coach Dunscomb’s men. although disappointed in not being victor, showed their usual true sportsmanship and congratulated the Findlay boys. W? are sincerely proud of the showing the Findlay team made, and congratulate the Stewardson team.—Findlay Enterprise.

We have a fair teacher—Miss Gussie, Who wants to get fat and pussy. She ate lots, we’re told, but when you behold Her—she looks like the same fussy Gussie. Sod is a lad who’s quite crazy But his mind isn’t awfully hazy, Though one day m class, before he could pass, He had to write, thrice, “I am lazy.” There's Don with the rosy complexion, Who gives Mildred all his attention. Just two months ago, she had Freddie in tow. How long will Don last is the question. Theie’s George, our red-headed drummer, Who in January thought it was summer, For in his sport car, he went near and far With Lura, who thinks he’s a hummer. And then there’s our shorthand teacher, Who is a quite charming creature. She went away in December, and we all remember Was made Mrs. Dunn by a preacher. Our cheer leader, Jane, is a prize, She has the cutest blue eyes. And everyone fell for the way she did yell. To be like her each leader tries. 1926 Fifty-Two lpo v=UUo v Calendar Auk 31—Whew!

Mr. Dunscomb and Miss Gustafson are the two that received the honor of being chief cook and bottle washer of the Senior Class. 8— “Variety is the spice of life,” so the saying goes, and Mr. Alexander must believe it. We have a change of program every day. 9— The “flyin’ Dutchman” thinks better late than never—first day for him. 10— Senior meeting, and what do you think —41 out of 52 voted for the same ring. 11— Oh Emmie! It's gettin’ hotter and hotter. 12— Wait a minute, my heart missed a beat— Mr. Ready suggested going swimming. 15—Election of Staff—Vivian Storm tickled the ivories and gave us a litle jazz at dismissal. 16— We sho’ know school has begun, now we’ve had our annual dog visit. Miss Taylor didn’t approve and had the dear little cur thrown out by the neck. 17— My Cow! Who has all the money. We had our pictures taken today and saw the birdie. 18— Miss Hartman doesn’t seem to know that this isn’t leap year. She politely asked Bus to come down and see her at 4:00 o’clock. 19— Fire! Fire! some landed on their feet and some didn’t Thank goodness that’s over. 20— Miss Smith is back on reform duty— Rules or more rules. 22—If you want to know’ w’hat happened ask Ruth Rankin. 23—Heard in he assembly: “Well, did you break off a big frolic last nite?” 24—Jitney, Sod and Roy Renshaw raced to see which one w’ill get to typewriting first.

Aubrey, w’hat makes your neck so long? 12— Mr. Ready tells us the difference between city and country life. Talks like he has had experience. 13— Now’! Now! This isn’t a wrestling contest. This is English Class. Nellie, don’t hit Leonard again—he might not be able to shoot off some of his bright remarks. 14— Everyone bring a box, and come to the box supper—Lavone Clem visits classes today. 17— Did Mr. Dunscomb get hungry? Well, anyway he went home before noon. Tongue twisters in public speaking today. We almost decided we didn’t know how’ to talk. 18— Eddie! Mr. Ready praised us for having such a quiet assembly this morning—Why all the rush to the dictionary? Did someone leave a note? 19— This is worse than Noah’s Ark. Scat out of here! And down the fire-escape she slid. 20— Evelyn, can’t you wait till supper? Why, the idea of eating apples in study hall. 21— Just one of those D-arling History tests like you read about—Looks like old times to see Chick hangin’ around. 23— Gussie, Burd, and Taylor are real pleased over The Home Coming Saturday, Sweet Cats!

My! but the rings are classy. Just look who they’re for. November 2—Mr. Dunscomb sho’ does aim for us to do a lot of fussin’ around beforehand. The following sign appeared on the board, “Group pictures for the Pow-Wow will be taken next Xmas.” 3— It’s honestly worse than a western roundup trying to get those insignificant Freshies down to get their pictures taken. 4— Look out, Tietze, or Nellie will put a cherry on your nose for crowding her out of the aisles. 1020 Fifty-Three ipovv Wflovv 5— Mr. Ready’s famous jazz orchestra helped out with assembly singing this morning.

Betty Walker, one of Shelby’s dashing brunettes, is visiting here today. 19— Miss Jordan consulted one of the Seniors about how to keep order in her English classes. Wouldn’t that frost you? 20— It’s whispered around that a certain Senior girl is running competition against Mary Linville, in trying to vamp Kenneth Davidson. 21— Look out, tummy, tomorrow is when we have the turkey. 26— We’re still getting religion in physics. Mr. Alexander has given up hopes of ever converting us. 27— Nothing at all only Joe Turner was talking to Pauline Janes about something very interesting. 28 We had Peat and Re-Peat in the Assembly today.

The weather man is more stubborn than Gerald Rose in French class. 30— We won from Cowden in a hard fought battle. October 1—Daisy Swinford has a new ring. You all can guess what that means. 3— Elbert Neal has been casting eyes at Miss Stevenson the whole period. 4— Miss Jordan is wearing a bulldog on the front of her dress. Wonder if that’s to keep Aubrey Walden and Herbert Clawson still in English. 5— Helen Nichols, our post graduate, holds the draft clerk’s position at the bank during holidays. Really, she opens and shuts the windows. 6— Another victory for the Gold and Blue, only two points. This time it happened to be Lovington. 7— Harold Turner gave one of his famous orations today.

January 4—Quite a number seem to have forgotten vacation is over, at least they aren’t back. ’5—Miss Burd has sure gone and “Dunn” it. Gat married! The last thing on earth I thought a woman like her wfould do. Mr. Ready has blowed himself and had his glasses mended. 6— Jamaine slipped and did the Charleston. Why, child, you awkward thing. 7— Old Mother Goose sure is shakin’ her feather bed—Now for sleigh ride. 8 Absolutely! as Mr. Ready says, everyone is going to Findlay tonight. 11— Hey! Stilabower, where’s your keys? We’re not going to let you go to Shelby again if that’s the way you act. 12— Poor “Squeek”—he’s just kicked about something awful. This morning he came a bouncing out of English, and this afternoon for some reason( ?????) he went home in a sort of a hurry. 13— Donald would have been on time if he hadn’t been having his regular three minute tete-a-tete with Mildred. 14— Several pleasing talks this morning, and some good advice from Mr. Alexander. 15— Nice day, isn’t it? I do hope it will be this nice tomorrow. 18— Several look rather gloomy this morning. Do you suppose the party would have anything to do with it? 19— We’re all going to Sullivan, win or bust All probabilities we won’t bust. 20— It is now ten minutes and thirty nine seconds after eleven and Aubrey is just dragging in. 21— Exams. 22— More Exams. 24— Our Morale is considerably lower after receiving our grades. 25— Lulu Walker and Harold Turner are having a hotly contested argument over who can talk the longest.

Has every one seen our Silver basket ball? February 1—Ruth Rankin celebrated, and has a mannish hair cut. More work for the barber. 2— Oh, well, Miss Hartman, you had just as well laugh it off if you don’t like the new hair cuts. Girls will be girls, but it does seem as if they’re trying to run competition against the boys. 3— Show your ears, it’s still the style. Several more new hair cuts. 4— 5—Dear old tournament days at Shelby-ville. 8— Miss Hartman has her hair bobbed. Looks awful nice—so girlish like. 9— We’ve almost got spring fever, it’s such a lovely afternoon. 10— Herbert Clawson told us a story of an old man who lived on a mountain side about halfway up. 11— Presentation of the Silver B. B. Seniors claim the honor as all the team are Seniors. 12— We’ve only got one thing to be thankful for and that is that tomorrow’s Saturday. 15— Miss Jordan just can't seem to realize that we seniors can’t get along without our gum. Why, honest! it’s just like taking candy away from a baby. 16— I suppose every one will enter in the Charleston contest. I’ve heard you can Charleston better if you’re bowlegged, and I came to the conclusion that Neva Bence ought to be An A Student. 18— If Brains were dynamite, Fred Walker honestly couldn’t blow his hat off in Civics. 19— Squeek, You had just as well stay out of English as to waste all that energy going back and forth. 21— I sure wish I had some of that education medicine that Earl Davidson wrote a Theme on. I think it would help r lot on Monday morning. 22— It’s sure storming today—So’s the faculty. Something must have happened. 23— The house is in an uproar. Nellie has made three trips to Mr. Dunscomb’s room this morning. 24— Nothing much happened today only Vivian Storm and Joe Turner had a collision in assembly hall. 25—Kearney, Jitney, Marg Tull, and Paul Herron were all requested to stay out of English. 27— Some one must have knocked the chip off of Bus’ shoulder Friday night—First, last and only defeat on our home floor. 28— Another woman gone wrong, Marg Tull is engaged—who to( ? V ? ?) March 2—In spring they say a young man’s fancy turns to love. We heard Herbert Clawson making love to Nellie last night. 4— All’s jake for the tournament. 5— No school this P.

It’s off now, so what can he do? 26— It seems as if Bus has had a bump on his nose. He probably stumped his toe and fell. 28— “Kintucky wonders” for dinner today. 29— ‘‘Good Evening Clarice” is to be given by remarkably brilliant cast, if I do say it myself. 30— Miss Jordan kicked Paul Herron out of English. That’s old. Wonder why she doesn’t crack something new. 31— Wish someone would ring that bell, and there it goes. —M. E. G. ‘26 1020 Fifty-Five IMS Fifty-Six pow«HKHow READ THESE AND WEEP 5$ Sh-h-h!

LOCAL POET WINS FAME Last month's Poetry contained the following poem of Miss Beulah Gordon and had this comment. “Miss Gordon’s poem is ultra modern and is a perfect example of this year’s verse. It has a certain tenderness which only the noblest inspiration could bring forth.” Here’s the poem: Has her went, is her gone? Shall her left I all alone? Us can never come to she, Her can never go to I, It must was. SOCIETY Mrs. D. Rozene. formerly Miss Mildred Lovins, entertained the members of the Sewing club at her home Wednesday afternoon of this week, the occasion being her fifteenth wedding anniversary. An enjoyable time was had by all. Miss Mary Elizabeth Gilbert, who spent the winter on the Riviera, is visiting her old time friends in Windsor and vicinity. She was the guest of honor at a 6:00 o'clock dinner at the G. T. Rose home Tuesday. Mrs. Rose (Mary Tull) had prepared a delicious dinner which was followed by a delightful social hour. COMING ATTRACTIONS Paul Moberley and Arland Nihiser have for some 20 years been looking for a car that would guide itself. They have now made what they call the “Frolikin Flivver.” It will be demonstrated all next week at Smith's garage. Come and see the marvel. LOCAL ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Walden and family visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John McCord of Bethany. Mrs. Walden, formerly Maudene Janes, and Mrs. McCord, who w as Lois Houser, were school girls together. Mr. Earl Davidson and daughter, Earline and June, motored to Mat-toon yesterday to meet Mrs. Davidson, formerly Elizabeth Jackson, who has been shopping in New York. Miss Nellie Simmons, matron of a large orphan’s home in Kentucky, is renewing acquaintances at WCHS during commencement week. Roy Renshaw and family airplaned to Windsor Friday evening to watch the B. B. game, Strasburg vs Windsor. Junior is playing on the Strasburg team. Buy your airplane fixtures of Dwane Ripley. Adv. Don't forget the minstrel next week. The proceeds will be given to the Parent-Teacher Association. Everybody come. Admssion 25c and 30c. Adv. Don Walden exhibited his large goose at Chicago last week. Wanted—Old iron, rubber, paper or rags. Highest market price paid. —Ready Junk Yard. Adv. A PECULIAR CASE Yesterday morning a very old appearing man was found wandering in the railroad yards. He was unable to tell his name and apparently he did not know where he was. B. C. Stilabower, wealthy Richland farmer, said he believed the man was Kenneth York but would not positively identify him. York, he said, had married a widow with 10 children, and the last time he had seen him -10 years ago—he seemed much older and different. Since the above was put in type it has been ascertained that York is prospering in a small western town. Five of his boys are married and it’s grandpa York. The editors were glad to know the old man was not “Kcnnic” of our high school days. SOME MORE BASKET BALL GOSSIP Even though the season is over the people still talk about our state champions. Coach David Rose says young Nihiser with three more years to play will far surpass his famous father. Lots of credit must be given his father for when the lad was three days old “Bus” had him shooting baskets in the back yard. His record of 1000 free goals without a miss has never been approached. We should boost Windsor for the site for the state tournament next year for with our new gym we can accommodate 10,000 spectators easily. PRIZE LOVE LETTERS We will pay $5 cash for old love letters. Below is the first one accepted. No names will appear in the signatures. New York, Jan. 12, 1930 Sweetheart: As I sit here in lonely New York awaiting the time for my departure to South America, all my thoughts are back home with the dearest one in the whole wide world. And as I think of our wonderful times together I remember distinctly the time we drove off the pavement coming from the Sullivan game. That was four long years ago. The old Packard just wouldn’t stay on the slab that night. And then later the night I drove the old roadster of Bo. Rose’s. Do you remember? And then the night we went to Shelbyille with Aub and Maudene! Those were the happy days, but not so happy as we have yet in store for us, for upon my return from the South I shall be the happiest man in the whole world, for then with you to help me fight my battles, work will be a pleasure. May this next six months go fast is my prayer. Love to my very own X. Y. Z. WEDDINGS Robertson-Finley Clarence Ncvo Robertson, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Robertson of Bloomington, former residents of this community, and Miss Irene Vivian Finley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Finley of Windsor, were mar-lied at the Methodist parsonage Wednesday evening, the Rev. Kenneth Davidson receiving the vows. Both are splendid young people. They will go to housekeeping in Bloomington where the groom is engaged in business with his father. Letters from an Old Timer to the Publisher Salt Lake City, April 5, 1946 Dear Krile and Roz � ne: I have been very much interested in your “Years Ago” column. I hope you will not forget that twenty years ago last March 6, Windsor won their first District Tournament. It was not all luck, either, for everyone admitted that we had the best team ever. The weather out here is the oyster’s ear muffs. Remember how many silly expressions we used? It has been so nice all week that Marguerite and I have decided to pack up the kids, etc., and come back for a visit. Expect us any day. Your Old Classmate, Olin Phipps Sixty-Seven THE GAZETTE, WINDSOR, ILLINOIS, MAY 28, 1946. ROBBERS UNSUCCESSFUL President Nichols Frustrates Attempted Robbery The town was in a wild state of excitement last night. H. Nichols, president of our local bank, returned to the hank at midnight to get some papeis. As he entered the bank he was commanded to ‘stick 'em up” but instead of doing so Mr. Nichols gave the would-be robbers one stern look from his steel blue eyes and they fled laving $50,000 in cash which they had in their bag. Mr. Nichols pursued but in vain for they reached their airplane and were out of sight before our local police could get their machine started. COM MENC EM ENT EXERCISES Eighty seniors, dressed in caps and gowns, will receive their degrees tonight at the high school auditorium. Sixty will receive B. E.s. while the others will receive M. E.s.

The town band will welcome him when he returns and all the stores will close to honor him on that day.
