C. R. 3. to publish a r,Pow-Wow.n Due to the depression, the classes of recent years have discontinued this practice. We, the Seniors of 1935, have tried to pick up the loose ends and compile a year book answering the same purpose as the previous Pow-Wows; but, please remember that it is not to be compared with them because of the great difference in cost. % POW-WOW STAFF Editors........................RUth Elder Roberta Conley Literary Editor..............Yvonne Baker Business Managers..........V endell Lugar Fred Ryherd Sports Editor...........Florence Gregory Wit and Humor............Howard Hoelscher Snapshot Editors ....

Tefll agree that the old building doesn't look like much-----but what of that? One can't tell the true worth of a book by its cover. We Seniors will long remember the days we spent in the old red brick prison as some describe it. Some of those days were happy, others were sad; find the old building still retains the marks of the various moods. All the desks in every room are carved with names and initials, and the stairs are worn deep with the passage of two-hundred young hopefuls daily. Yes . this building has sheltered many friendships, quarrels, and romances. Truly , it will be a house of a thousand memories. BUILDING pow-wowj — UK 1.9-3-5 [f A RIGHT START IN LIFE IS A CAREER HALF MADE. DEDICATION We Seniors realize that we will never be able to repay the debt we owe to our teachers. For four years they have worked faithfully In the endeavor—sometimes vain --to teach us something useful and worthwhile , so that when we leave high school we may continue our education or turn to some well-paid work. Besides the demands of regular school work, these teachers have given freely of their time and energy to extra-curricular activities of all kinds. Every teacher was always ready and willing to help a student with difficult lessons or to advise him on any other school problem. Therefore, in order to show a small part of our appreciation, we respectfully dedicate this volume of the Pow-Wow to the faculty of Windsor Community High Schqol. n 9 pow —wow j _ __L-9-3-S [g La [D OJ 01 6 Mr. J. H. Dunscorab He's our Principal, our Coach, and our Bookkeeping Instructor; he's our toss, our father-confessor, and our advisor. He praises us when we do well; he offers friendly advice and criticism when we do wrong. As you can see he is one of the busiest men in seventeen states. But he never loses his temper; be's always considerate , gooa-natured, jolly, and full of enthusiam for any undertaking which will benefit the school. In other words , folks , he's an all-school favorite and we Seniors offer him our thanks for the past and our best wishes for the FUTURE. «« BETTER TO BE AN HOUR T® SOON THAN A MINUTE LATE. _______________________________5 7 ____________________________ ill [D — pow —wow _ Olk I • 9-3-5 (g THE FACULTY Mr. M. E. Gibson Our assistant principal Is known and liked everywhere because he Is Interested In everyone and everything and Is always ready to help with any school project. He teaches English III and IV, Economics, and Civics; and is Pow-Wow Advisor and a Student Council Sponsor. Miss Inez Lough Miss Lough is one good worker and a grand sport. She has to be to teach Latin and History to the underclassmen, direct two Girl's Physical Education Classes, Coach the Senior play, sponsor the G. A. A., and take all the kidding about chewing gum--and still smile. Miss Lucille Sutter Of all the teachers, I believe Miss Sutter has the most responsible work. Does she not teach the girls to burn their biscuits properly? Think of the future cases of indigestion she has prevented. She also teaches sewing, typing and short hand, besides being Freshman Class Advisor and Home Economics Club Sponsor. Miss Olive Lilly Miss Lilly teaches the Freshles and Sophs their English; the Seniors, American History; and anyone who wants to learn, French. She was also Junior play advisor. And we Seniors will vouch for her ability to tell interesting stories. Miss Reta Walker Miss Walker teaches Algebra I and II, solid Geometry, and Physics. She has the patience and tact for such tasks and is always willing to help a student with a difficult problem. At the present she is working on the Junior-Senior Banquet and I'm sure it will be a success. Miss Helen Hockaday This popular young lady has the task of teaching both the high school and grade students their music. She was always at hand with her orchestra at the school entertainments. She is the Sophomore Class Advisor and a Student Council Sponsor. Yes, we will miss our do, re, mi teacher next year. Mr. Gansel Bennett Mr. Bennett teaches Biology and Plane Geometry. He is also a Junior Class Advisor. Yes, he's a bachelor but, girls, he seems determined to remain a bachelor. Mr. Frank Davis This gentleman is a busy one. He teaches Commercial Geography, and Manual Training; he has two classes of Boys' Physical Education; and he is a Freshman Class Advisor. By the way, he, too, is a bachelor. ---------------------------------GTJ e __________________________ pOw — WO W Hlk I-9-3-5 2 (Q Mr. Olbson Miss Sutter n 11 Miss Walker Miss Lough Kiss Lilly a u Miss Hockaday Mr. Davis Mr. Bennett 1 pow —WO W 1-9 3-s (o Q DJ IT pow —WO W — Dl _L-9’3’5 s [fl LINES TO THE SENIORS Marvin Bailey is a gentleman Who's full of life and pep. He doesn't like to study much But, in athletics has a rep. Yvonne Baker is a happy girl Who has a serious turn of mind. Yes, she's bright and we'll agree Her equal would be hard to find. Now, we have Maurine Bivins-- Popular with the crowd is she, But she has a case with a graduate And has fallen as hard as he. Roberta is a happy miss. Attractive as you can see— And, Indeed, she's lovable, too--As a Lovington youth will agree. And, there's Ruth Elder Whose initiative and drive Revived the Pow-Wow And helped it to thrive. Is he an Earl or a Clown, That Garrett boy. Who always acts Bo cute and coy? Florence is a very nice girl And president of the G. A. A. She is capable and Jolly And usually gets her way. Jack's our all-round athlete, The pride of the Senior Class. Though he’s not much of a student, He generally happens to pass. Beulah Hartsell, tall and quiet. Is a very dependable lass. She has been faithful and loyal And a credit to the class. Now, there's Joe Hall Whose auburn hair Has many a wave Beyond compare. Her first name is Ruth, Her last—Hilsabeck; And how she does play A fiddle—by heck I Howard Hoelscher, A freckle-faced lad, Is always cheerful And never bad. (?) Is Mildred a King Or a Queen did you say? She'll be Ward's Queen On their wedding day. For Harold Kull With bashful ways, We really wish Some happy days Ike Lugar is our Romeo And is noted for his wit; He seldom gets to class on time And never studies a bit. Dorothy is a lovely girl, Pleasing to one who is blue; She really likes most everyone But is fondest of-- Guess Who. Melba is a very unusual girl (she's not looking for a mate). She'd run a mile most any day To keep from having a date. Kate's our most valuable singer; She's liked wherever she goes. There's music in her fingers And also in her toes. There is a very foolish lad. Sometimes called Dizz or Red. But we don't believe in nicknames. So, we always call him Fred. Annabelle has bright blue eyes And is really a pretty blond; She has a sweet and bird-like voice And of music is quite fond. On a musical program, Eleanor always does her part, And is known all over the school For her generous, kind heart. Helen's loving and thoughtful. Thoughtful of what? You guess.

I could write pages about the affairs of our class and its members, but for the sake of space I must be brief. ♦Way back in the fall of 1931, a bunch of eager youngsters were initiated into Windsor High by the faculty and Sophomores. (The former were the most difficult. In fact, we still have trouble with this group.) We are all four years older now and recall with amusement some of the quaint ideas we had about high school when v e first took up the mysteries of Algebra and Latin. Our class has been busy the last four years. Yi'e've had our parties and our picnics--and our studies. As Sophomores, we gave the Class of '36 a very thorough and enjoyable initiation--even the Freshies said so. As Juniors, we presented a very successful play; and we are, at the time of this writing, preparing another play. We hope it will find equal favor. It was last year, too, that we carried out another enterprise of which we are justly proud. With the able supervision of our advisor. Miss Kathrine Nichols, we gave the Seniors a splendid banquet in spite of the fact that we had lost most of our class funds when the local bank closed. And now , as Seniors , we are attempting to revive the school annual which was discontinued by the two preceding classes due to a lack of cash. We have very able leaders this year in Mr. Oibson and Miss Lougi, advisors; Ruth Elder, president; Howard Hoelscher, vice-president; and Roberta Conley, secretary-treasurer. Our class has furnished W. C. H. S. with valuable basketball material for four years. We have produced singers for the operettas and choruses, musicians for the orchestra, brains for the school, and nuisances for the teachers. In short, we’ve done our part to keep W. C. H. S. on the imp The complete history of this class can not be written yet. In fact, our history book consists mostly of blank pages on which we hope to write a glorious story of service and success in the future that is opening before us. Who can say? Perhaps some of us will become great and famous and Windsor will remember with pride the high school Seniors of ’35.

The kind Seniors promptly named Chapter I, Greenhorns of the Modern Age. As in previous years, the Sophomores extended invitations to us to attend the annual initiation party, which we duly accepted and enjoyed. Our class was soon organized, officers were elected, and Miss Lough was chosen as our class advisor . After a well earned vacation we were ready for Chapter II. 'tie organized our class, elected our officers, and chose Miss Hockaday as our advisor. We had the annual initiation for the Freshman Class with no serious results. The difficulties encountered in the first chapter with our various subjects was small compared with the subjects of the second chapter---- Geometry and Latin II for example. Again vacation made its appearance, a fact which we all appreciated greatly. Our vacation was saddened by the death of one of our classmates, Dwight Olson, who had always taken a prominent part in all the school activities. Dwight's genial disposition coupled with good sportsmanship, was missed by all as we turned to resume our work. As we open the pages of the third chapter, we find only thirty of our class reporting; but, we were all looking for greater things because those interested in us were expecting more. 7� e began our Junior career by choosing our officers, namely; president. Ruby Miner; vice-president, Paul Bennett; secretary-treasurer Waverly Workman; and historian, Maxine Shook. Mr. Bennett was chosen as our general advisor; Miss Lilly,as play advisor; and Miss Walker, as banquet advisor. V e began our social activities by having a steak fry at Lithia Springs. We presented the Junior play, Me, Him,and I, with a very capable cast chosen from the class. Six of the class are members of the orchestra. Our banquet committee has been chosen and before this chapter has closed we will have given the Junior-Senior Banquet, whifch will probably be our last social activity until we open the fourth and last chapter, as Seniors.

We were Invited to a party, which, of course, was our Initiation. We were told to wear something green and to be sure to come. On arriving we were blindfolded and told that a little shock would do us good. When the Sophs finished, we rather doubted what they said but the good refreshments brightened the atmosphere. Through the help and kind advice of Mr. Bennett and Mr. Bridges, our class advisors, we managed to have our class meetings and parties. Then came promotion time and a well earned rest. On September 3, 1934 with the remaining of the old class and five new classmates we started another year at the high school looking much more Intelligent and not quite so green. We selected our class advisor, Miss Hockaday, and the class officers as follows: president, Mildred Thompson; vice-president, Ernestine Alexander; secretary-treasurer, Alice Whitesell; and class historian. Rose Thompson. Our competent officers and our advisor have helped us to initiate the Freshmen and have our parties. We are working hard now; and next year we all hope to be Juniors.

The first few weeks proved to be an ordeal hard to withstand but we soon got on to the ropes of business, and started sailing along with our dignified elders of the three upper classes. Miss Sutter and Mr. Davis are our class advisors and the officers are as follows: president, Walter Rose; vice-president, Janet Baker; secretary-treasurer, Jack Jones; and class historian, Helen Ashbrook. Our social events are rather limited; but, nevertheless, we have had one class party which was held at the home of Janet Baker. The Sophomores were so kind as to invite us to a roof-raising initiation and, believe it or not, we had a wonderful time. This closes the brief sketch of our history,, but you will be hearing more about us later. Helen Ashbrook � «4« TO THE FRESHMEN It was not many months ago You entered the high school here, As does many a Freshman, though, Your heart was filled with fear. Those first days have long since passed When you were so shaken with fright; And as you go to and from your class, You are aware of your Justful right. Through the rank and file of years You are where many have stood, Eagerly awaiting the ship at the pier; Making their lives what they would. So in days that are to unfold for you, Your future so near and yet so far. Let it never, never be said of you, Your ship had no guiding star.

This Council was a sort of honorary group chosen by the faculty at the end of the school year. These Council members, selected for scholarship, personality, citizenship, and extra-curricular activities had no powers of self government as are given to the new form of Council. This year the student government plan was introduced here. A constitution was drawn up and, on November 13,- 1934, it was formally adopted by the student body. The local Constitution states that all persons connected with the school shall be members of the Student Government Association of W. C. H. S. of which the Council is the executive board. The members of the Council were selected according to the Constitution which provided that one member from each class be elected by popular vote of that class and another be appointed by the principal. The Council advisors are faculty members one of which is elected by the Council and the other, appointed by the Principal. Windsor' s Student Council met for the first time on November 21, 1934. The following officers were elected from its members: Ruth Elder, presi- dent; Lyle munson, vice-president; and Rose Thompson, secretary-treasurer. We must admit, the Council, this year wasn't very active but we can't expect too much of the organization since it is still in its infancy but we hope that W. C. H. S. will continue to develop its student government, so that future students may gain self-reliance, the ability to lead, and a desire to fulfill the purposes of the Council which are to foster sentiments of Law and Order; to promote the general activities of the school; and to promote, in all ways, the best interests of the school.

Away early last spring the Home Ec. girls, under their director Miss Katharine Nichols, threw a big party in the gym. Each girl brought, or had herself brought, by a boy friend. We played Bunco and other games, had some grand eats, and also a grand time. The next big event was the operetta, Happy Landing, directed by Miss Hockaday. Katharine Reynolds from our class played a leading role. This entertainment was quite successful. After that THE BANQUET. Having lost most of our money in the bank failure, we were forced to put on a banquet for less than twenty-five dollars. And it was well done, too. Our class donated the food and we girls cooked it ourselves. The decorations for the gym were the chief expense. Our theme was Captain Byrd's Expedition to the South Pole and it was well carried out in the food, decorations, and programs. Miss Katharine Nichols was advisor and Wendell Lugar, was Toastmaster. The next big social, the Community Supper, was, as usual, very enjoyable with plenty to eat and a big style show by the sewing girls and an athletic demonstration by Miss Lough's and Mr. Bridges'Physical Education Classes. We closed the society column of the school year with the annual All-School Picnic held at Paradise Lake. The girls took sandwiches, cake, salads, etc. and the boys brought plenty of ice cream. And it was a grand day for fishing .' What more could you ask? Early in the fall of this school term, we held an open-house night. Nearly one-hundred-fifty parents came to see their sons and daughters in their classes. There was music by the orchestra and also other entertainment by the students. Soon after that, the Freshmen were formally and somewhat painfully initiated into Windsor High. The Sophs, however, fed them well; so the greenies went home quite satisfied. During the first Semester, the Junior class and the Senior class each had a social. The Juniors had a steak fry at Lithia Springs which, with the faculty's help, was quite enjoyable. We Seniors planned a weiner-roast at Roberta Conley's home, but we were rained out. Mrs. Conley kind- U u a pOw-WOwj — x I-9-3-5 [Q ly took us In and cooked our welners for our guests and ourselves. Despite the rain we had an hilarious time what with dancing and cards. Sounds wicked, eh? Sorry, but it was tap-dancing and Old Maid we indulged in. The Preshies and Sophs had their parties this Semester. The former entertained themselves at Janet Baker's home: the latter had a weiner roast at Ada Maxedon's home. The Basketball season was an excuse for several parties. The girls beat the boys in the pre-season ticket sale campaign, so the boys gave us girls a Christmas party in the gym. We had the customary small gift exchange, plenty to eat, and lots of fun. YOWSAH .'.' At the close of the season, the tear had a couple of swell feeds. Marshall's Cafe gave the boys and the coach a grand oyster supper with ice cream for dessert. The eats had to be good for, I'm told, that one famous eager ate no less than eleven bowls of the soup and all the crackers and pickles that went with it. About a week later. Jack Lauderdale, a Junior sports fan, took the team and the men of the faculty to his home in Van dalia. There he threw a big banquet and entertained the boys highly. (We are told that the Vandalia girls are extremely good-looking.) By the way, last fall the student body was entertained for about an hour by Bill Bones, the poet and philosopher. He certainly could tell jokes and recite poetry. And then this Semester, Miss Lilly asked two war veterans to speak before her History IV class. Mr. John Morris told about his service in the Philippine Insurrection and Mr. Lawrence Soland related some World Y ar experiences. During the year the faculty has had several picnics and parties. The only one which we heard much about, however, was the Easter Luncheon given by Miss Sutter's cooking class. They tell me the food was excellent. That Just about includes everything in the social swim so far. Of course, the last month contains quite a bit of activity. There's the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Community Supper, the All-School Picnic, and on the last day--COMMENCEMENT 11.'

C. H. S. without an annual in which to place their fair names. This, therefore, is to inform you that the following persons were duly and with great honor graduated from Windsor High School. Class of 1933 Orion Carter Harold Coble Clara Cooper Martha Elder Lois Grant Robin Gregory Bennie Hall, Jr. Marie Hall Vernon Hartsell Joseph Holmes Bee June Horn Ruth Luce Juanita Mattox Helen Phipps Beatrice Storm Ada Sullivan J. Otto Tietze Kit Walker Viola Wall The Class of 1933 was the smallest ever to be graduated from this school. Mr. Dunscomb called these students The Depression Class. De- spite those two handicaps, these students proved quite capable of taking care of their share of the work. Their play, Red-Headed Stepchild, was quite successful. Individual honors go to Martha Elder and Beatrice Storm who tied for the Class of '31 Citizenship Medal, to Ada Sullivan for high-grades, to Lois Grant for her vocal ability, to Robin Gregory for his basketball ability, and to Bennie Hall for his school news.

A. A. To begin with G. A. A. stands.fer Girl's Athletic Association. The Windsor association was newly organized this year and so hasn't been able to do much in the way of organized athletics,although we have played basketball and volley ball, and have kept the health charts according to the G. A. A. rules. We Joined the State Association at the beginning of the year and so restricted our athletics to correspond with all state rules and regulations . The officers of the Windsor Association are as follows: president, Florence Gregory; vice-president, Harriett Holmes; point secretary, Helen Ashbrook; secretary-treasurer, Phyllis Storm; and athletic advisor and gym director Miss Lough. We have a representative from each class, who with the officers and advisor make up the advisory board. Representatives are as follows: Senior, Yvonne Baker; Junior, Olive Shadow; Sophomore, Rosalie Storm; Freshman, Imogens Shelton.

C. H. S. and her squad of loyal young fighters. To start the story right, I suppose I should begin like this, Once upon a time--,” but, since I can't quite see a history started that way I'll make my own opening speech. This year's squad had the most nearly perfected teamwork of any seen here for a long time. With a nucleus of five letter men to begin work with. Coach Dunscomb soon picked a squad of eleven able boys to carry high the banner of blue and gold. Jack” Griffin, Duck Bailey Thiver Fling, Rap Tull, and Jean Garrett, all having proved themselves in previous years to be worthy of the trust we placed in them this year, were backed on the bench by Spider Munson, Earl Garrett, Jocko Hall, Paul Bennett, Rex Veech, and Punk Elliott. Some how it seems only proper that the low down should be given here and now, on these boys, who have shown such pep, grit, and loyalty to the blue and gold this year. So, to start the history of the squad. I'll begin with the oldest one of its members, maybe not in age, but in years of service. Thurman Griffin, better known as Jack , has served the high school in all his four years as a member of the squad and has won four letters in basketball. The entire student body is proud of him for he is the first to be graduated from this school with the record of playing on the team four consecutive years. Marvin Bailey, a Senior basket shooter; is next in line for a veteran's pension. He has played three out of his four years in high school and is an excellent guard in all respects. Rankin Tull is a three letter man, although he has played as regular for only two years. He is a very outstanding forward and much is expected of him next year. Dean Fling is one of Windsor's fastest forwards. Since he,like Tull, is only a Junior, the fact that he has received his third basketball letter tells his story better than anything 1 can say. Jean Garrett, Junior, is a guard who knows what he wants to do and does it to the best of his ability. He has won two letters our of three years on the squad. Earl Garrett although he has won only one letter, has shown his ability and his loyalty to the school in all the games in which he has played he, like his brother, is a guard. pow -w o w 19 3 -5 (n ID fD 9 pOW-WOwj k 1-9-3-S X1 9 Lyle Munson, a Junior, Is a second year squad man and a great little forward. Joseph Hall Is a difficult guard to get around as the teams, who have played against him, know. This Is his second and last year on the squad. Rex Veech, a blonde Junior boy, plays either guard or forward and this is his second year on the squad. Paul Bennett, Junior and Stephen Elliott, Sophomore, are two new recruits on the team. Although neither one has played much this year, they show promising ability for next year. Now, since I have told the most important facts about the boys who have won fame this year, I shall try to tell you a few interesting things about Coach Dunscomb who has trained these boys. He is a teacher in the high school, superintendent of both grade and high school as well as coach of athletics. He has been coach at Windsor for fourteen years and out of this number he has served as superintendent six years. During his years as Coach Windsor has won two hundred-sixty-six games and lost one-hundred-fifteen. This year the team won sixteen out of twenty-three games, of course this includes Moultrie and Shelby County Tournaments as well as the district at Mattoon. So much for our team and our coach! But we must not forget our cheer leaders. As everyone knows, a really successful team is always found to be backed by a good cheering section with capable leaders. This season was no exception. We had four cheer leaders who worked in pairs and took turns at the games. The four were Fred Ryherd, Senior; Ruby Miner, Junior; Ruby Janes, Sophomore; and Wanda Horn, freshman. I wish to congratulate our cheer leaders on their fine work this year. BASKETBALL SEASON Having finished telling about the Coach, the tearrv and the cheer leaders, I shall continue ny history by relating the outcome of the games and presenting the scores of the season, which are as follows: (The school at the right is the place of playing.) Windsor 47--Moweaqua 13 The first game of the season started off with a bang, Windsor definitely defeating Mowenqua. Tower Hill 14—Windsor 33 The team s first gane at home proved to be another victory for us. 39. pow — WO W _ 0L___L-9-3-5 [g Windsor 29--Stewardaon 21 A hard fought game, but a happy crowd came home from this battle, for we won by a margin of eight points. Windsor 40--Findlay 16 This victory helped us keep our record clear. Sullivan 18—Windsor 34 This game was our fifth consecutive victory. Could we help it if Shack was afraid our boys would show him up? Windsor 32--Gays 27 Our closest neighbor gave us the hardest battle of the season up to this time. MOULTRIE COUNTY TOURNAMENT On December nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first, we traveled to Sullivan for our next two games, which were in the Moultrie Tourney. We drew a bye ; so, our first game was in the semi-finals. We played Arthur in a rather wild and ragged game, winning by only one point. Sixteen to fifteen was the score. The next night we met Sullivan in a more exciting and better played game, although the score was not so evenly divided. We lost twenty-seven to thirty-seven and so took second place. Alumni 41--Windsor 19 The boys who have graduated came back and showed our team how basketball should be played. The team put up a good fight even though they did lose by a large margin. Moweaqua 41--Windsor 58 A total of ninety-nine points were made in this game and Windsor had the larger part of them. Lerna ll--Windsor 60 Windsor made the highest score of her season in this game. Stewardson 24—Windsor 23 Although Windsor won the game at Stewardson it seemed that Stewardson had made her mind up to beat us and she did. It was a real game, though, folks. Gays 24--Windsor 43 There isn't much to say about this game. Gays put up a good scraps but they were defeated by superior playing. SHELBY COUNTY TOURNAMENT In the tourney at Shelbyville, Windsor played three games. She won the first from Stewardson by a score of 23 to 22. In the semi-finals we met Cowden's crack team. The game was a thriller, but in the last two minutes Cowden connected some long shots and we lost 38 to 32. Thus faded our hopes for a county championship. He even lost the Consolation game to Moweaqua 29 to 23. Windsor 43—Cowden 40 We beat Cowden on their home floor although we couldn't or didn't in the tourney. Cowden 23--Windsor 21 It may seem queer to some that these two games were played one after the other with no other, games between. The Cowden and Findlay games were AaRLl 40 f—J QJ D1 Ji Cl B pOW-WOw j — x I ♦ 9-3-5 [g called off on account of the Scarlet Fever scare which closed the school and all public meetings in Windsor. One of the Cowden games happened to be the last before school closed and the other was the first game played after it opened again. Windsor 57--Lerna 33 This was next to the highest point game. We had the larger part of the ninety points made. Windsor 32--Tower Hill 21 This game was one of those which was called off and as a result, I'm told, there were Just eighteen spectators a t the game including the coaches but the team didn't mind. Windsor 26—Sullivan 36 The last game of the season outside of the District Tournament proved to be a victory for Windsor. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Windsor played two very good games in the District Tournament at Mat-toon. We beat Rardin 57 to 23. The second game which was against Mattoon proved to be a little less cheerful although everyone, who was there said that Windsor had every right to be proud of its basketball team. We lost the game in a nine minutes over time by a score of 19 to 18. Mattoon immediately ceased to be so cocky . Now, dear readers this concludes the history of the 1934-35 basketball season of W. C. H. S. It was a pretty successful season and Windsor is proud of the boys who carried the colors this year. We Seniors sincerely hope that the future teams of W. C. H. S. will meet with even greater success.

Underclassmen, look upon it with respect and remember the class which has gone before you as an honest and intelligent group of brilliant students. To the Juniors, we leave the north row of seats in the Assembly, which we trust, will be worthily filled next year. To the Sophomores, we leave our ability to make A grades without half trying. ( A stands for awful. ) To the Freshmen, we leave seven-eighths of our dignity which will, indeed, be a blessing to them. To Miss Walker, we leave a Physics class whose members can, at least, pretend they know what she is talking about. To Miss Lilly, we leave a History IV class which is dumb enough to believe that gooseberry story of hers. To Miss Lough, we leave a girl's gym class that can take a joke—but won't play Jokes on the instructor. To Miss Sutter, we leave our hope that next year's typing class will spend its time on business letters, instead of writing love letters, or, training pet mice. To Mi9s Hockaday, we leave a half-dozen of Windsor's most eligible bachelors. To Mr. Dunscomb, we leave Tull and Fling, veteran forwards, tor hi next basketball team. To Mr. Gibson, our annual advisor, we leave a good headache cure and our profound thanks for his able assistance. To Mr. Bennett, we leave a Biology class that can draw pretty pictures for him. To Mr. Davis, we leave a round-trip ticket to Waverly. As individuals, we bequeath the following: I, Marvin Bailey, leave a record of my stupendous Physics grades in the office so that all may admire them. I, Yvonne Baker, leave my queenly airs and my youthful innocence to Irene Welton. I, Maurine Bivins, will leave to the underclassmen my interest in the Class of 1934 If Helen Thompson will leave hers. (Note: She is quite safe.) I, Roberta Conley, leave to anyone concerned my devoted interest in Lovington High School. I, Ruth Elder, leave Thiver Fling to any girl who is interested in sitting in a V-8 after school hours.

It was Saturday afternoon and, as usual, the town was all a flutter. My husband and I started down Main Street which,by the way, consisted of department stores, clothing stores, drug stores, and even Ibn Cent Stores. We felt famished after our long ride on the train ffran California, sow went into a restaurant which looked very inviting. AS I looked up from the menu card, imagine my surprise when I looked right into the face of Melba Rentfrow. Of course, you can imagine the usual flow of chatter that followed. Melba told me she was a spinster and belonged to a Spinster's Club of which Yvonne Baker was president and Dorothy Purvis, Secretary Treasurer. Melba also told me that Yvonne Baxer was a very efficient stenographer for none other than Harold Kull, the pupil who had the mental twist away back LQ m pow — WO W _ 51k 1-9-3-S |g there in ' 34-35” when we were Seniors. Don’t you remember he ran off and left all of us poor dumb ones behind. I also learned that Dorothy Purvis was a nurse in the city hospital and, at the present, was taking excellent care of Jack Lauderdale who had broken his leg when he slipped and fell in the bath tub. I learned, too that ”Dot” was deeply in love with Jack and had loved him since he first came to Windsor in 1934, but for some reason Jack didn’t care for her at all but was in love with Melba Re ntfrow, which Melba said she detested. After being in the restaurant for about two hours we went to a hotel. The sign on the building informed me that the hotel was owned by the Garrett Brothers. We found Earl in the lobby. I talked a few minutes and during the conversation I asked Earl if he were happily married, fte indeed , he said, My wife worships me. I asked him how that was. He railed, Every morning she gives me a burnt offering. I congratulated Mr. Garrett for having made such a fine choice and told him he was very fortunate. And, by the way, he married the former Louise Casey. On Monday I decided to see the town and also to try to locate some of my old classmates of W . C • H. S. I went into a department store which looked very prosperous. Over the door, a sign read Fred Ryherd and Co. I walked in and the first person I saw was Eleanor Storm, or, as I was soon to learn, Mrs. Fred Ryherd. Eleanor told me that she and Fred were getting along quite well. Mrs. Ryherd said that Ike Lugar worked for Fred although he had been fired several times. It seems that one day Ike came to Fred and applied for a job. Fred asked, Are you experienced? Ike said, Why sure I'm experienced; I could sell BVD's to Eskimos. Fred said All right, pretend I'm the customer and you're the clerk and I como in to buy some underwear. Now—please let me see your underwear. Ike replied I'm sorry but it was so warm to-day that I didn’t wear mine. Ike was fired.before he got the job. After leaving Mrs. Ryherd, I started down the street. I was amazed to see a sign like this; Marvin Bailey's Art Studio . I decided if he was the Marvin Bailey I knew I would go in and have a chat. I went up to his studio and went in. There, puffing on a large cigar, was Marvin. Duck ..as dressed in a big green smock and was painting a portrait of a girl curled upon a sofa reading a book. I looked across the room, and, there Florence Gregory or Florence Munson, as I learned later. By this time Marvin with his sensitive senses sensed a presence in the room. Of course, he hardly -------------------------------- 53 48 G—J _____________________________ (O 10 i pow-WOW 1 — _L-9-3-S (g recognized me because he never has recognized anybody but Ruby Miner since away back there in high school days. Finally I got everything explained, and then Florence came over and we discussed the past, present, and future. She told me that she had married Spider Munson and that they had two children. Marvin is a great artist and he showed me some of his work. Pointing to one canvas h« remarked, Here� s a picture of a cow eating grass. Well, where � s the grass? I asked. He replied, The cow ate all the grass. Y.all then where is the cow? I wanted to know. Marvin answered this, Did you ever see a cow around where there isn't any grass? With that I left the Bailey Art Studio hoping to see Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Munson and family and also Marvin Bailey and his wife. Ruby, again soon. After luncn, I decided to do more exploring. This time I started on a different street and one of the interesting signs I noticed was Ruth and Beulah'8 Matrimonial Bureau. it took me a long time to get an interview with the evor popular match-makers. At last I was admitted and Miss Hilsa-beck wanted to know my troubles. They soon recognized me and we had a nice friendly chat. Miss Hartsell told me they had beon quite successful in the business and had finally succeeded in getting Jack Griffin and Annabelle Storm married. They said Jack and Anne had fussed so much that just about every week, up to the time of their marriage, one of them had come to the Bureau for advice. Beulah told me that Jack and .time owned the Windsor Theatre and were having groat success. I was also informed that Katharine Reynolds was a very fine soloist and rendered her beautiful numbers at least twice a week. Leaving the girls, I went out cn the street again; and about the first person I saw v as Joe Hall, who, I learned is a pilgrim of the Lord and has quite a following. He said that he had been called at an early age to take up the ministry; and, for a number of years, he has been trying to win Ruth Elder but she has a good job teaching school and doesn't want to give it up. Joe added that he came from a long line of Effort Benders and would never give up trying to win her, hand and heart. Joe also told me that Howard Hoelscher had disappeared. He had been engaged to marry Gladys Jones but she gave himip for Frank Rose who tempted her with riches, Howard has been gone for ten years. Everyone supposed he was grieving over his lost love. Mr. Hall also added that Roberta Curry, the former Roberta Conley, worked in a restaurant about a block away and he expected she would be glad to see me. Is in [U 9 Walking Into the restaurant where Roberta worked, 1 found her busily waiting on tables. I sat down at a table In hopes she would wait on me. She disappeared, however,to return dressed for the street. I followed and walked with her to the Curry home. Bert said she had always had a desire to work in a restaurant; and, since her husband, an engineor on a passenger train which runs through Windsor, is away from home so much she decided to get a Job to pass the time away. She told me one of her experiences which I thought very humorous. It seems that one day a man came into the restaurant and ordered a bowl of soup. Roberta carried it over to him and he said Hey, waiter, you got your thumb in my soup. Bert says, Oh, that's all right. Mister, it isn't hot, She's the 3ame old 3ert, you see! Yiith this little joke I left Mrs. Curry, hoping to see her and hers before I returned home • I returned to the hotel lobby and imagine my pleasure in finding Mr, and Mrs. Don Fisher conversing with my husband. The Fishers invited us to have dinner with them in the dining room, Helen told me she and Don got along fine at intervals. They have been married for ten years and hAve three children. They live in Chicago where Don owns a laundry. Helen also told me where I could find Maurine Bivins. After a very pleasant evening, we left the Fishers to go to our own room. The next morning I went to see Maurine who is, as I learned by the sign over the door, a voice instructor. During the early days of the Depression, so Miss Bivins told me, she had great difficulty in keeping the wolf away from the door. But her weakness, Dean Booker, came along with a swell scheme which is as follows: Dean runs a fortune telling agency and tells all his customers that they have great talent for singing. He then recommends Maurine as an instructor. The two are planning to get married when they have saved $1,000, but it shouldn't take them long to do that because their racket is quite a paying proposition. As our vacation time was about gone and since I had seen all my old classmates, I hurried back to the hotel planning to pack and leave immediately, and was I ever mortified to learn that my husband was out seeing the town with the singer, Katharine Reynolds, who is al30 an accomplished gold-digger? Believe me, we left for California the very minute he staggered in (We left Windsor at exactly four o'clock in the morning.) My husband has settled down now and we live very happily with little Junior on our orange ranch. But I like nothing better than to think back over old school days. The Class of '35 is a pretty successful bunch, but every one knew they would be even while we were still in high school. A darned good class,I call it. I'm betting you could never find another like it. pow —WO W -x I • 9- 3 -5 a m 50 Mildred King ID D — pow — WO W — 5k 1 • 9-3-5 s [g See anything funny in the suit that Fred is wearing? Sure, Fred!

Harold Smith wants to know where he can get a nine shot revolver. He wants to kill a cat. ’Veil, the days are getting longer. When did you get married? How come you flunked that freshman, Mr. Bennett? Well, you see, Mr. Dunscomb, it was this way. We was havin' a physiology exam and I caught him counting his ribs.

CT1 51 Zero plus Zero equals Flunk - pow-wowl — flk I-9-3-5 z1 I Know Any Bigger? (Ex-fireman on the rail road.) I was firing old No, 13 from Chama, N • M., to Alamosa, Colo., over the Cambros pass where the roadbed was so crooked we had to have hinges on the sides of the engine so it could rake the turns. Lots of times on short turns I threw coal in the headlight by mlstake--it was so close to the firebox. We used to hand our 'baccer around the train in the same way. Frank Benton, the conductor, sitting in the caboose, would bum a chaw off me in the cab and on the next turn he'e hand it back. The Big Horn loop was Just one mile around, maldng a complete circle and crossing itself. One day our train was so long the eiglne had gone around the circle and was at the crossing when criy two-thirds of the train had circled. So we had to wit 24 minutes for the other third to come around. That matte us 24 minutes late in Alamosa which we had to make up coming back the next day. On another trip we had a runaway going off the pass. At that moment me were 30 miles from Antonito when me hit the great San Luis valley. Sopey Smith, the engneer, pulled the ihlstle, but before it sounded we were seven miles beyond, Just pulling into Conejos. Usually, on account of the towns being so close We had to back ttp at Antcrtto to wlistle for Conejos. Once we were called out to, make a run at 2 A. M., and only having 30 minutes to fire up I put out my best. When Sopey cane to the roundhouse four minutes before wo were to start, he looked at the steam gauge and saw the hand at 40. Well, like all engineers he bucked and snated, but you should have seen the expression on his face when I told him the hand in the gauge had already made three rounds. Isn't this a good place for men to cone who have asthma? Yes, the girls here are so dumb they can't tell it from passion. Cooking Claes Girl.—'.There's the paper plate I gave you with your pie?
