n lit-Uhl 111 Farewell to the dear old building, To the spot that’s held so dear, In the heart of each true Senior As he faces the coming year. For oft he’s trod the pathway, That leads to the entrance there And climbed the foot-worn stairway, With never a thought of care. But never again shall these things be, For out in the world he must go. We must fight, we must win, we must conquer. This—all Senior’s motto. —M. I. 192 a - ■•§( 2 }8 — }J n in - If n at To Walter L. Hunt our kind and loyal adviser, who has given our class the spirit of fairness and obligation to society; who has aided in all our school activities; who has been of constant consideration; we the class of 1928 affectionately dedicate this volume of the Pow Wow; realizing its insignificance in comparison to the service rendered. -4 3 13- Jj o m-10 mu ALUMNI Class of ’26 Paul Bridges Manual Arts, student, E.

C. H. S.” in the year 1927 A. D. Although the magnitude of this class is to a degree smaller than some of the other class organizations, we have “quality and not quantity.” Under the adroit guidance of Miss Birkett and Miss Fortner, class advisers, many unique ideas have been made a reality. The pilot of this class was elected by an overwhelming majority and she, Lena Holsapple, has been tried and was found to be not wanting. She is ably assisted by Margaret Clawson, vice president. Several members of this class are destined to become known internationally through their efforts. Take, for instance, the oratory power of Harold Turner, Ralph Hyland, Kenneth Davidson, and Margaret Baker, or the artistic inclination of Marguerite Lemons, and Kathryn Mahan, last and far from least the athletic ability of T. D. Hennigh, Ralph Neill, Boyd Lemons, and K. Davidson; all members of first basket ball team. We are also wizards of finance—perhaps the Seniors shall enjoy the usual banquet, who knows? We have every sign of becoming thoroughly sophisticated through the untiring efforts of our various instructors. The most outstanding characteristic of this class is the decided lack of dumb scholars; never in history has a class of W. C. H. S. had the distinction of possessing such unusual uniform brilliance. Our class has had the minimum misfortune to lose one member, Lela Clawson, who embarked in the sea of matrimony, thereby terminating her education. Our most fantastic dream shall materialize next year, when we hope to ascend the glorified throne of Seniors. The dignity of the said “Senior throne” shall be engraved with an indelible impression through the accession of this year’s Junior Class— after that “we do not choose to run.” —HERBERT BALDRIDGE. li 192B —«§{ 15 )• • - jp ont-H 0 ut Junior Class Play, “Two Days to Marry” Given in the latter part of April in the School Gym with the following cast: Simon P. Chase, as black as his race........Harold Turner James J. Dare, a wifeless heir......Thomas Dale Renneigh Ruford B. Sawyer, a timid lawyer...........Wendell Hartsell Emily Jane Pink, blacker than ink..........Kathryn Mahan Sadie L. Boise, a widow by choice.........Margaret Clawson Imogene McShane, a sweet young thing........Hazel Rankin Walter M. Blair, a millionaire...........Kenneth Davidson James Dare, a young society man, comes to the realization that if he inherits his father’s million he must be married before his twenty-eighth birthday, which is just two days off. His lawyer, Rudford Sawyer, decides to help him and advertises for a wife. Dare has a hundred women “on the string” but there is only one whom he really cares for, Miss McShave. Women of all nationalities and position in life answer the advertisement. Among these are Miss Emily Jane Pink, who “falls” for Chase, thinking he is Dare, and Sadie L. Boise, who gets a crush on Sawyer. Out of pity for Miss Pink Dare hires her as maid to his wife-to-be. After some trouble Dare marries Imogene McShane, his heart’s desire. A very few hours after his marriage Mrs. Boise comes to his apartment and recognizes Imogene as her foster-daughter. That same day he receives a letter from his uncle, who says he will arrive the next day to settle up his father’s will and that Dare’s wife must be older than Dare. Mrs. Boise promises to act as Mrs. Dare, with Imogene as maid, while the uncle, Mr. Blair, is there. All goes well until Mrs. Boise and Mr. Dare get to thinking over private affairs. Mr. Blair says that he was once married to a Sadie Boise, who left him for an unknown reason. Mrs. Boise recognizes him as her husband, whom she left because she thought he cared too much for her. Their happiness is restored; Dare gets his million and Chase and Pink, who love scenes and antics make the play comical from beginning to end, are at last happily mated. agf 16 limit Sophomores 1 il 2 B -4 17 £ Bottom Row: Eva Tull, Juanita Bailey, Evelyn Wallace, Reta Storm, Margaret Garrett, Gabrella Clem, Sarah Faith Mooberry.

S ome people seem to have the idea that o ur sophomore class isn’t quite P erfect. Well—maybe so, but H ow can they expect so much o f us when we haven’t had M uch time to prove o ur worth to the world or R eally show them that we E xpect to make a mark for ourselves and S urpass all other classes in school. 10 2 U Jjmu-Unut a Sophomore Class History We, the Sophomores of the Windsor High School, in order to form a more perfect organization, establish friendly class relationships, insure a better mind, provide for a combined defense, promote the school spirit, and secure the blessing of an education to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this History of the Sophomore Class of Windsor High School. A year and several months ago we brought forth in this school, a new class, conceived in thought, and dedicated to the proposition that we should obtain an education. Now we are engaged in a great struggle testing whether that class or any other class so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met in the great assembly in that conflict. We are going to dedicate a portion of this theme to the pupils who met the problems and failed. It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot concentrate enough for the benefit of these pupils. The studious scholars who have been successful, have concentrated far beyond our power of comprehension. The school will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here. It is for us, the successful, to carry on the remaining work, to whom those that failed were forced to surrender. It is rather for us to be determined to surmount the great task remaining before us—that we here take increased determination to subdue those problems by whom many students were conquered—that we here highly proclaim that we will master those studies—that this class under the guardianship of Prof. Alexander, shall have a new era of learning. The Value of Education Education in this day and age is more necessary than when our forefathers were living. The world is increasing in population and is doing things on a larger scale. Thus it needs educated people to keep pace with the rapid progress. Times are changing rapidly and great things are being accomplished. Employers are seeking efficient workmen. Every industry demands the highest of intelligence. Therefore everyone should get a good education in order to meet the competition. Some people say that it is useless to send their children, especially girls, on to college because as soon as they graduate they will probably get married. This is not a fair argument. Even though she does marry, a girl needs an education in order that her outlook on life will be brighter and that she may be better qualified to care for her home and children. In a few years it will be difficult to get any kind of work without having a good education. Even now business men require their employees to have a high school education. Therefore let us strive to get a higher education in order that we may be better prepared to take upon ourselves the great responsibility of modern life. —FLORENCE CURRY, ’30. 20 ►- Freshmen -4 21 - Hi Bottom Row: Helen Hennieh.

September 6th found us beginning our battle with Algebra, English, History, Latin and Physiography. The first week was interesting and exciting, although troublesome to find our respective classes. However, by the second week, the youngest, smartest Freshmen Class of Windsor Community High School was busy endeavoring to get their studies. When the other classes were having their meetings we organized and elected our officers, who are the following: Gretta Lee Elliott, president; Pauline Wallace, vice president; George Franklin Lemons, secretary; Jacob Grider, treasurer; Floyd Bauer, historian. Miss Weld and Mr. Edwards are our class advisers. In October the Sophomores gave us green Freshmen an initiation. Several were electric shocked, others had the delightful diet of egg whites followed by honey, while others revealed their cultured voices; a few prayed to Mr. Alexander to let them graduate from high school in four years. We astonished the Sophomores by performing the feats so brilliantly. Several attended the basket ball games, which proved to be of interest to many of us since two of our boys, namely, George Elliott and Jim Wallace, made the first team. The Freshmen were represented in the high school orchestra by Mary Anna Bell Garvin and Helen Hennigh with the violin and Pauline Wallace with the cornet. The Latin Club is one of the interesting functions to the pupils who take this subject. At a play given by the members of the Club the Freshmen sold candy in order to secure money for the annual. The Art Club consists of many Freshmen who show their skill in this work. We finish this year with the anticipation that we will all be Sophomores next year and we hope the class of ’29 will enjoy and have as much success as the class of the previous year. —IRENE PETERSON. -4 23 - i fZ }• -- inn nut r{ r w it o ut-1X1 It lit To Willis Walker Willis Walker, our janitor man.

He gives us a smile as we pass him by, He picks up our notes, and never will tell, What we say in them, or where they fell. Four years he’s stood our chewing gum, Stuck under our desks, till there’s most a ton, And rung the bell that calls us all, Back to our High School’s room and hall.

HENNIGH: The Windsor basketball team of this season was very ably led by Captain Thomas Dale Hennigh. T. D. was a great aid to the defensive and our main cog in the offensive. His strength on the team can be judged by his place on three All-Star selections and his point record for the season, in which he tallied 182 counters. JIM WALLACE: Jim was a raw recruit from the baby class, but in spite of this seeming handicap he made a splendid showing this season. Jim played a guard position but was also the initial wheel in the offensive. His dribbling and passing was exceptionally good at all times. Wallace along with Hennigh placed on the Moultrie County All-Star with little difficulty. He was awarded a like honor at Assumption. Jim has three more years with us and we bank much of the future on him. BOYD LEMONS: Boyd played the center position for the Windsor lads this season and although he was not quite as large as most of his opponents he made a fine showing at the assigned part. Lemons and Capt. Hennigh worked well together and Boyd will look even better next year; so watch his scoring column next year. JOE MARTIN: Joe is a boy from the “Burg”, and you know them. He -4 29 lil fom Pmu was a mighty hard man to guard and a fighter in all departments. He played a clever forward and his work at the district tourney was exceptionally good. We lose Joe this year and we regret it very much. (So do the feminine rooters.) “SWET” NEILL: Ralph is the other man we lose this year; he proved himself a valuable man at a guard post. “Swet” was always fighting and none of them ever got too big or rough for him. K. DAVIDSON: Kenneth played within a few quarters of a letter last year and his season’s work this year was certainly admirable. He is another representation from the Junior class and he, along with Hennigh, Lemons, Wallace and Red Elliott, will be likely to compose the team next year. Kenneth was always a hard fighter and his defensive work improved considerably as the season wore on. RED ELLIOTT: Red is another boy from the infant class, but not thi infant class of basketball material. Red proved himself a very flashing man on offense and with Coach Dunscomb to improve his defense he will be a hard man to handle next year. Season’s Account At the opening of the 1927-28 season some of the Windsor basketball fans were very free with their adverse criticism and prospects for Windsor’s having a good team looked very poor to most of us. But after the Strasburg game, where Windsor not only displayed some good material but a strong team, the town pessimists were willing to admit a bright out-look for the coming season. WINDSOR, 19; STRASBURG, 18 After five consecutive victories and one defeat the strong Strasburg team was overcome by the Windsor quintet by a score of 19 to 18. Swigert of Strasburg, a prospect for Windsor next season, scored 13 of Strasburg’s 18 points, while Martin and Elliott tied for high point honors on the Windsor five. KANSAS, 22; WINDSOR, 17 The outcome of the opening game placed too much confidence in our boys and the Gold and Blue failed to tally the required points for a victory. Martin again was high point man for Windsor. STEWARDSON, 14; WINDSOR, 10 The fifth game was placed with Windsor’s old rival Stewartson. This game was a hard-fought defensive game and Windsor played much better ball than the score would indicate. It was in this game that Ralph Neill firmly established himself as a member of the team. WINDSOR, 18; ALUMNI, 13 The contest between the basket ball players in W. C. H. S. that are, and those who were, and still are, occurred during Christmas vacation. The predictions gave the strong Alumni team a ten point victory but the actual playing gave it to the high school boys by a five point margin. 1928 30 )■ - % f JI11 ui - 1U n 111 FINDLAY, 17; WINDSOR, 6 Findlay came over and handed us the worst defeat we have suffered in years on the local floor. SHELBYVILLE, 17; WINDSOR. 13 The game at Shelbyville was close and we should have won. A new combination was used in this game with Hennigh as forward instead of guard and Neill making his debut as a regular. MOWEAQUA, 23; WINDSOR. 21 It took three overtimes to decide the game at Moweaqua. Many fans made the trip and came back well pleased with the exhibition. SULLIVAN. 20; WINDSOR. 19 It seemed Windsor just couldn’t win—so—close—but yet defeated. The Sullivan game is always a thriller and this one was no exception. STEWARDSON. 17; WINDSOR. 16 One overtime and a free throw by Stewardson decided the game after Windsor had shown a wonderful comeback in the last quarter. WINDSOR, 24; ASSUMPTION. 17 After trailing 15-7 at the half we came back and stopped Assumption and in the meantime scored 17 points. Assumption never has beaten us. SHELBYVILLE, 14; WINDSOR, 13 Another one point loss—enough said. WINDSOR, 23; MOWEAQUA, 21 After losing three games to Moweaqua Windsor finally reversed the score of the first game. This was one of the cleanest games played all year. FINDLAY, 19; WINDSOR, 12 This was a disappointment. We were doped to win but didn’t. WINDSOR, 35; STRASBURG, 16 The main stay on the Strasburg defensive combination was expelled from the game in the second quarter and this accounts partly for the bad beating our boys gave the visitors in this encounter. Hennigh, our captain for this year, got 13 points in this game, making him high point man for Windsor. KANSAS, 17; WINDSOR, 16 A return game with Kansas was played at Windsor in the last part of the regular season and the Windsor team came within two points of beating one of the best teams on our schedule. At the half the score was tied 8 to 8 and at the third quarter the score was 13 to 13, but the last period gave the game to Kansas. WINDSOR, 21; SULLIVAN, 16 The closing game of our regular playing season was a close game most of the time, but Windsor seemed to gather speed with the minutes and the six points in the last quarter gave us a victory over our northern neighbor, Sullivan. 1920 -4 3i - 10305 3 i|j n ui-Uln ut TOURNEY PLAY The Windsor team participated in four tournaments this season and made a very good showing in all, winning first in the Moultrie County, second in the Assumption invitational and third in the Shelby Country. At all tourneys the High School was supported by a good representation from Windsor and good spirit was shown throughout the season. THE MOULTRIE COUNTRY TOURNEY The four Moultrie County teams, including Sullivan, Arthur, Lovington and Bethany, met at Sullivan in the last part of January in company with Windsor to thrash out the Moultrie Country Championship. Windsor drew Arthur and the game was played Friday afternoon, January 28, and Windsor came through at the long end of a 28-22 score. Bethany won from Sullivan, 24 to 13, so Windsor and Bethany went to the finals Saturday night. Right here was a fine chance for Windsor to upset the old oaken dope bucket and just at the fitting climax, they did it. Captain Hennigh lead the Windsor offense with twelve points, making six field goals out of eleven trials from the playing floor. This play along with his other brilliant play gave him an undisputed position on the all-star selection. The Windsor seconds met with less fortune in the second team tourney, being eliminated in the first round by Arthur. THE SHELBY COUNTRY TOURNEY The usual Shelby Country tournament was played at Shelbyville the week following the Moultrie Country tourney and the crippled condition of the Windsor team accounted for our standing, Lemons, Hennigh and Martin all being on the injured list at this time. The first round was won from Tower Hill at the melodious tune of 18 to 15, but the fast Moweaqua quintet was too much for the weak-end Windsorites and they fell before their foes by a 25 to 14 score. Third place was granted us because of the afternoon beating Shelbyville gave Stewartson, who were very certain about the outcome of the country tourney. The attendance at the Shelby Country was a record breaker for Country tourneys this year. THE ASSUMPTION INVITATIONAL TOURNEY Windsor, along with many other strong central Illinois teams, was invited to participate in an invitation tourney at Assumption on February 10, 11 and 12. Windsor drew Ramsey for the opening game, and overcame them by a score of 26 to 9. This defeat was very contradictory to predictions and general expectations, for Ramsey had an excellent record in their conference, and also were runners up in their district this year. The second game found Windsor still going strong; the proof of this is their defeating Blue Mound by a 28 to 16 score. This game put Windsor in the finals and Moweaqua was again to be our rival. Misfortune overtook us in the final game and our boys could not find the basket. The result was a fine second place trophy, which took its place along side the rest of our numerous trophies. THE DISTRICT TOURNEY Windsor was placed in the Charleston District in preference to the Pana District as has been customary in former years. The opening game was played with Areola and proved to be one of the best games in the tourney. The Windsor boys seemed in slump for the first twelve minutes of the game and with the score 22 to 10 in the middle of the second quarter it looked bad for the home team. But at the proper time Captain Hennigh lead the Windsor team on a 192fl —S{ 32 } - {I mu -W mu £ rampant rally that brought the score up to the count of 21 to 22 at the half, with Areola still having a one point edge. The second half was a more steady basket ball game; neither side had a great margin at any time, although Windsor, aided by the defensive play of Niell and Wallace and the offensive power of Hennigh, Wallace and Martin, were able to maintain the lead until the final run, which found the score 33 to 31 in favor of Windsor. The Gold and Blue found less fortune in the evening game and were defeated by a count of 32 to 14. The hard morning game, and the fact that some of the boys overslept a little in the afternoon, accounted in part for the evening’s showing. THE SECOND TEAM Much credit is due the Second team squad for their hard persistent work throughout the playing season. The Second team had an average of 750 for the season, somewhat higher than the first string boys. The seconds were composed for the most part of: Paul “Posey” Rose, Jean Walden, Virgil Storm, Benny Lovins, Leo Bennett, Burton Richardson, Russel Elliott, Wendle Hartsel, Jay Nichols and F. Lemons. Among these boys are many valuable recruits for coming years, especially Rose, Storms, Lemons and Rus Elliott, as these boys are all from the yower classes. NOTES ON THE SEASON The first few days of practice were gloomy days for the Windsor fans and many rash statements were made of the team, and most of the criticism was very much adverse. After the first game Martin, Wallace and Red Elliott brightened the Windsor hopes with an exhibit of good ball. Windsor was fortunate in being lead by the able leadership of Captain Hennigh, who was our high point man as well as our leader. Hennigh scored 182 points from the forward position and was also a very strong man on the defense. Windsor participated in four tourneys and took first, second and third place and went to the quarter finals of the district. Not a bad showing for a school of 150 students. About mid-season the team was very much handicapped by minor injuries. Joe Martin got a cut eye in the Sullivan game at Sullivan, K. Davidson got his knee injured in practice and Hennigh had a severe boil on his leg. while Wallace and Swet Neill were also bothered with boils. Lemons and Hennigh were also bothered with bad ankles. Excellent training was maintained by the boys throughout the entire season, and Coach Dunscomb is largely responsible for this by setting an ideal example for the athletics, so nothing else could be expected. All the trips this year were made in cars, as was the case last year, and all schedules were kept without a single tardy mark against the home boys. At the first of the season fifteen men were carried on the squad but after the first few trips the squad was cut to ten; owing to profuse eating on the part of some of the second team boys, including Paul Rose and F. Lemons, who generally had a race to see who could come out with the largest check, indeed a dear sport. The Windsor team was very fortunate in having the services of two extraordinary managers, the first being Prof. Walter Hunt, who was superceded by Jean Walden, who is almost Mr. Hunt’s equal when managing ability is considered. The team was backed by a consistent group of rooters both at home and in foreign territory. We certainly put forth a hearty thanks for the splendid spirit folks showed toward the team and we are sure that nothing but success could favor a spirit of this kind. Several of the boys went through the season without missing a practice. Hennigh played every minute of every game, while Wallace missed two minutes of the Blue Mound game. Seven boys were taken to the State finals. In order that in years to come there may be cause to recall the sizes of the boys we give their weights here: Hennigh, 175; Neill, 150; Wallace, 146; Lemons, 145; Davidson, 152; Martin, 140; Elliott, 145. In a post season game the team won from the team of last year, 24-14. The Freshmen won the class tournament, nosing out the Seniors in the last minute of play, 15-13. -4 33 fr- |I mu-Hum Activities -•«■{ 35 }s- vA sGRrg in n iu - Ml n in � Pow-Wow Staff Bottom Row: Ellen Cole, Assistant Editor; Burl Small, Editor-in-Chief; Jamaine Armstrong, Assistant Business Manager; Melvin Rentfrow, Business Manager.

The Orchestra VV. C. H. S. has not neglected her musical ability. The orchestra is one of the best to be found. We have a well balanced orchestra; by that is meant that we have enough of one kind of instruments to compare in tone with other kinds. At the first of the year there was a great number of beginners, but before long they were right down to work and soon played with the orchestra. A word must be said of our leader and instructor. Professor R. G. Newell of Shelbyville, Illinois, is with us again this year. He is one of the best and ablest men to handle this organization that we know of. He has had a great deal of training in America and Germany. We think a great deal of Mr. Newell, and wish that he continue his work with us next year, as he has helped us very much. The orchestra is preparing for a concert to be given at an early date. There will be special numbers as well as a concert by the orchestra. The orchestra is progressing very well and we hope that next year to enter some of the contests that are held in different places. —H. T. ’29.

It will be nice to see ourselves as others see us. We promised Wilbert we wouldn’t tell Mr. Gibson what happened this morning in assembly. Deacon Dubbs from Sorghum Center is going to be here tonight. The proofs came for the Seniors’ pictures today. Mr. Hunt says he just knows he can be a movie star now. He’s having a large picture framed for the assembly, we believe. But perhaps we didn’t understand him. Boys don’t forget your money tonight. Ssh—do you want me to tell you what I overheard today? Irene was talking to a curly-headed boy and she told him she was bringing a box. Now! They say a hint to the wise is sufficient. Miss Weld wore her new shoes today that were presented to her at the box supper last night. Why does the Physics class persist in letting the old cat come back? We found out today how little we really did know. Or did you have to write on any exams? Mr. Gibson says many more Blue Mondays and we won’t get exempt next quarter. Harley Kull told Mr. Gibson that Lindbergh was a great man. 15. Mr. Alexander reminded us of our cheer-leaders. Who shall they be? 16. Juanita Richards visited school to- day.

But Mr. Alexander said that is no reason we should not have our Physics lesson. Don’t eat too much turkey tomorrow, for we have school again next Monday. 28. Wilbert has surely been in an argument. He has a queer looking place on his forehead. Vacation surely doesn’t agree with him. Too much turkey, I guess. 29. Are you coming to the game to- night? Don’t forget we play Strasburg! 30.

You don’t want to forget that day after tomorrow is the twenty-ninth. That is “the” day. Someone made the remark today that our class always had just one flower, the Rose; and that was David. All the boys are keeping shy of the girls today. The Freshmen won the class tournament from the Seniors. A mysterious Monday??? Mr. Alexander was a few seconds late to Physics this morning. Everybody has the spring fever today. It’s just like June, only we have school. Someone surely disagreed with Johnny Bruce. He has a sore cheek. “Irma, what hast thou done now?” Three girls say they went swimming yesterday. Did they, or are they bluffing? What gloomy faces everyone has this morning! Just because of the grades from the exams last Friday. This year’s basket ball team defeated last year’s team 24-14. We were hoping Mr. Gibson would favor us with one of his famous solos this morning in Music, but we were disappointed. Jean Walden is back at school. Last day of school until next month. Senior Class History Our journey through high school has now come to an end. Upon retracing our steps and pausing at each turn, we find our minds filled with happy recollections. On September 2, 1924, a class of sixty blank-looking Freshmen started on their career in high school with Wilbert Nichols, President, and Jamaine Armstrong, Secretary-Treasurer. We were initiated by the Sophs (although it was rumored that they were afraid to undertake such a task) and lived through it. As Sophomores, we were no longer scorned by the upper classmen. That year Wilbert Nichols was again honored with the office of president. We contributed to athletics a basket ball team which was the envy of the other classes. This famous team was composed of the following: Fred Krile, Bruce Wall, Clinton Wall, Glenn Goddard and Jean Walden. In spite of this efficient team, we were defeated in the interclass tournament, much to our dismay. Our Junior year exceeded all expectations. Our play, “The Charm School,” will go down in history as a great success. The banquet, at which the Seniors were our 48 }§►- 01 'Qu V mu-113 mu a • 7s guests, deserves honorable mention among our successful enterprizes. At the beginning of the year, Williard Richards, Harley Kull, Vernie Doehring, Burl Small and Geneva Kull entered from Strasburg. All too soon we were Seniors. The end of the journey, which seemed so far away when we were Freshmen, had now come into sight. Upon Kenneth Stephen we conferred our leadership. Some of the sixty who started as Freshmen dropped out of the race, the award of which was a diploma. Others—Vera Metzler of Strasburg, Wayne Rand of Gays, Joe Martin of Westervelt, and Roger Thomas of Normal joined us in our last, final stand. Inez and Wib were chosen as cheer leaders. Among our famous men we had Roger Thomas, our orator; Joe Martin, our second Paderewski; Kenneth Stephens, our famous artist, and Burl Small, our physicist. We’re not proud; Several of the more intelligent Seniors wrote on teacher’s examination in March. Here’s wishing them luck. And now as the journey of the Class of ’28 comes to an end, and the thought that we shall become widely separated in the various walks of life, probably never to meet again as a class, saddens us, we leave this, our class history, as a record of our achievements. —GWENDOLYN YORK.

Witnesses: Floor Tacks. Window Blinds. Class Prophesy Last week as I was walking aimlessly on Broadway, wishing I knew what all my old classmates of W. C. H. S. were doing, my eye chanced to stray to a beautiful sign, on which was painted “Sombeski Knows All.’ I at once became excited. Could it be the famous wizard who could tell you everything you wanted to know? Who, what, when, or where was immaterial to him. As I investigated further, I found out that he was the world famous magician and seer. Oh if he could only satisfy my longing for knowledge of my old classmates I would give him all I owned. At last I decided to go in and take a chance. I went up to his apartments and was ushered into a very costly and richly furnished room. Presently a Turk dressed in native costume came to me and said. “I am Sombeski. I know what you are here for, so step into the adjoining room and I will show you what all your school pals are doing at present.” Very much puzzled, as to how he knew why I was here, I followed him into an odd-looking room. The odor of oriental incense was very strong. A crystal ball was in the center of the floor. As I sat down on the cushions indicated, the room at once became dark, and Sombeski told me to look into the ball and see if I could recognize the figures, while he told me the particulars. Much to my surprise I saw a rude, but neat looking ranch house, and presently I saw Ruth Mae Bartley sitting on the porch, rocking a child. The child was the very picture of Gerald Olson. At this moment I saw Gerald come from the cattle barn and address Ruth Mae as his wife. As I was collecting my thoughts the scene faded into that of a university where the students were bending over Physics experiments. Presently I recognized my old friend working among the students. Reta Walker, of all things a Professor of Science. She was certainly smart and she had always wanted to be a teacher. As this scene faded. I saw another portion of the same University, which was the gym. I found that Vera Bridges was coach of the girls Basket Ball Team of the University of South Carolina. I was then shown a theatre. Everything was very quiet, and as the curtains slowly folded back, who should I see but Inez Fling and Anna Edwards. I’d never heard such wonderful singing in all my life. They had taken the whole world by storm with their singing. When I glanced to the piano I discovered that Ruth Peterson was their accompanist. My! how they had improved since they had been out of school. I was then with a very excited crowd. I n ver heard such cheering and yelling. I found that Verne Spencer had became a second “Lindv.” and had just arrived home from a trip to the North Pole, where he was trying to plan a heating system. Among the first to greet him was Melvin Rentfro. I learned that Melvin had became rich by discovering a new kind of cough medicine, which was guaranteed to do the work, or try and get your money back, mostly the latter. W 3. 1 02 B -«■{ 53 HI •• G R 5 Jilmu-Mout tI r- V X Next in view was a very busy office. There sat Willard Richards typing away until a young lady came into the office. Willard quit work and sat gazing at her, looking as if he would love to elope with her. When she turned my way I saw that it was Edith Rankin. Edith was manager of a large firm in New York and Willard had come here to work so he could be near her. I never imagined Willard would ever fall in love. My vision then rested on a beautiful Spanish home in California. I could see a group of people sitting on the lawn, drinking tea. Among these I saw two persons I knew—Hettie Steele and Dale Bolt. They were entertaining the old maids’ club, of which they were members. They were very lonesome living alone, so they had gone into partnership and bought this home. One would have known they would do this as they were always together at school. As this scene faded I was taken to what seemed like fairyland but it was really a new dance pavilion on Lake Michigan at Chicago. Such an orchestra! I had never heard anything to compare with it. Could I believe my eyes? Joe Martin was leader of the famous “Blue Chasers’’ orchestra. As I was gazing at him, everyone stopped dancing, and a beautiful fairy-like girl came on the stage. Oh! how she could dance. It was “Jerry” Armstrong. I never dreamed that she would ever be so successful. I was next taken to a busy street in Boston. I glanced at a sign which read “Illk 5 and 10 Cent Stores.” So Mary Illk had started a chain of 5 and 10 cent stores, and was hiring nothing but good looking men. I never thought Mary cared for them—but one can never tell. This scene was changed to that of a room where all the girls were dressed in bathing suits. The instructor of the girls was a lovely nymph-like girl—“Dot” Luce. How in the world did she ever get so thin? She discovered a new “Daily Dozen” which aided her greatly, and now she is getting rich by giving others reducing exercises. Soon after this I was talken into a richly furnished living room. Here was “Lee” Bennett waiting on an old man. “Lee” had been a nurse in the hospital where he happened to be and he fell in love with her. He was very wealthy so “Lee” married him and they are now living in an elegant Fifth Avenue mansion. Next scene was in Shelbyville. Such a noisy excited throng. Oh, well—nothing le5§ could be expected at a circus. I heard a child say, “Mama, I want some peanuts to give to the elephant.” “No, daughter,” was the quick reply. “But, mama, daddy is doing it so why can’t I?” cried the child. I recognized the voice of the mother to be Geneva Kull and looking closer I saw Bruce Wall, the father. Of all the surprises, the marriage of Bruce and Geneva was the greatest so far. In a dressing room of the same circus I saw a familiar face. Who was it? Harley Kull, a clown in a circus, and so clever that all the country folks took to him readily. Next I was in the Alps, but why bring me here? Just as I was wondering I saw a group of travelers slowly picking their way along the treacherous paths. As I looked at the guide, I saw it was David Rose. I always wondered what David would make of himself, but I never thought of anything like this. Out on the football field at the U. of Indiana I saw people running up to a certain player, who had savol the day, and had played a wonderful game. Who was he? Clinton Wall, the famous fullback, and much sought after by all the girls, especially one of my old school pals, Vera Metzler, who was attending school at the same University. I was then shifted to Lindell Boulevard, St. Louis. Here was an expensive looking home. Just leaving the porch was Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Ferrell (Mrs. Ferrell was formerly Irene Wallace). I heard Irene say, “Now, Glenn, I don’t want to see you flirting with any of the ladies at Mrs. Walden’s tea to-day.” So Glenn and Irene were married. Mrs. Walden—could she mean Mrs. Jean Walden? I was then taken to another home on the same boulevard and at the entrance of Irene and Glenn, Mr. lU2b’ -4 54 Ill $1 mu-HI mu and Mrs. Jean Walden (Mrs. Walden was before her marriage Ellen Cole) came to greet them. I never thought that Ellen would marry Jean. Still thinking of Ellen and Jean’s marriage, I didn’t notice the scene in a Roman home. As I looked up I saw “Gwen” York talking to a handsome Italian gentleman. “Gwen” had met this young man while on her vacation in Italy and at once fell in love with him. They were married the day after their meeting, much against the wishes of “Gwen’s” parents. Recovering from this I was taken to a Beauty Shoppe. Business seemed very rushing and glancing at one of the marcellers I recognized Bessie Neighbor, who was looking at her appointment book. The name of Mrs. Herbert Ross attracted me. Who had Robert married? Just then Mary Smith came in. She had married Robert and they had settled down in Denver, Colorado, and were very happy. Next the glaring headlines of a newspaper were before me. The headlines were, “C. A. WALKER AND J. D. HARTSELL FIND A PLATINUM MINE IN AUSTRALIA.” Reading on I discovered that they had inherited a vast sum of money soon after they were out of school, and had decided to explore the wilds and jungles of Australia. Following this scene was a scene in a very small kitchen. The two people here seemed to be having a good time doing the house work. The wife was Viola Reynolds and the husband was Kenneth Stephens. “Vi” contented in a small country home in Montana. It was hard to believe. I am next in an African jungle. Upon a throne sat a very savage looking king and standing in front of him were many natives who had captured a white man. I looked very closely and found the king to be Wayne Rand, and as King Wayne recognized the captive to be Bryan Smith he let Bryan go free. He let Bryan aid him in ruling the savage tribe. I next saw a large Coliseum filled with young men. On the stage was the speaker, who was lecturing on the subject, “Why Men Should Not Let Women Come Into Their Lives.” It was Roger Thomas. He had become a confirmed woman hater, and was now lecturing against them. He has converted many young men to his belief. Before me are many glittering lights. It was in front of the Ambassador Theatre, St. Louis. Everywhere I looked was Jane Neill’s newest picture, “Man Crazy,” in which Burl Small was leading man. More surprises. The scene was then shifted to the interior of a school room. It was a very pleasant room and was cleverly furnished. There were three children grouped around their governess. I knew the governess to be “Katie” Luce. “Katie” was such a good governess that every mother in England was trying to hire her. She is now governess of King George’s grandchildren. Lucky “Katie”! I was next in a very up-to-date business office on Wall Street. In the office sitting at the desk, studying very hard, was Verne Doehring. He had been so shrewd and clever in the business world that he now controlled all the railroad systems in the United States. In the same office I saw Hazel Harris, his private secretary. I was then shifted to a very picturesque ranch home in Idaho. I saw Irma Doty and John Bruce branding cattle. So Irma and John Robert had gone back to Irma’s home state and taken up cattle raising. Irma seems to be doing more work than Johnny, and she appeared to be a better worker. The next scene was very familiar to me and took me back to my old school days. It was the same store that Vivian Storm’s mother had owned. Vivian is now manager, and Fred Krile, her husband, stays at home and does the house work and takes care of the children. They have three beautiful children. And last but not least was the picture of the old cheer leader of 1928, “Wib” Nichols. I saw him in a very busy factory. He is now proprietor of the Invisible Pin Company. He sells these to school children. They were invented in order that the victims of these dreadful pins might not see them coming. As this scene faded from view the room became light and it seemed as if I had been awakened from a wonderful dream. I left the mystic Turk’s apartments, feeling very happy and thankful. —DOROTHY SULLIVAN. 192 8 -«8f )§►— } n at - HI n ut Jokes Here’s forth—it is a section For folks that have the blues— And for grouches, wishing they were In some other fellow’s shoes.
