Our commanding officers the first year were Davis and Sutter. We were taught to aim high, shoot straight and move forward. We were the last company of W.C.H.S. to have a sham battle, which was won by the Sophomores. We received our first furlough the last of May. Returning to duty September 3, 1935, we were placed under the command of Captain Lilly and advanced to the ranks of First Lieutenant. We gave a welcome party for the new recruits. After many hard fights and uphill battles against the Latin Army, we survived and received another leave in June, 1936. We did not return to camp until September 21, 1936, as the camp site was changed, and not ready as soon as expected. We put on a long drill and review, Page Asa Bunker , for the public and superior officers. Our captain for the drill was Lough. In the spring we gave a banquet at the U. S. Grant Hotel in Mattoon for the older mem- bers of the W.C.H.S. Army who were to receive their papers of Honorable Discharge in June. Our third furlough came June 11, 1937. Returning to duty September 1, there were only 23 of the original 37, five addition- al recruits from Gays and two former Junior officers who returned to service in our company. Soon after taking up our duties, we had one deserter, which left our num- ber at twenty-nine. We were under the general command of Captain Turner this final year of service. May 6, we put on our final drill and special review, Baby Steps Out , under the command of Captain Bennett. We shall receive our Honorable Discharge on May 27, 1938, having put in four years of good training. As we leave this training camp to venture further into the great unknown, we feel that we shall be more able to shoulder our guns and to march forward into Success.

Hey, waiter, there's no chicken in this soup. Well, did you ever find a horse in horse-radish ? Father- Dean, did you have the car out last night? Dean N.- Why, yes: Dad.

They knew' not what to expect in a world so different from their old home in the Grade School, but this did not deter them, even after a rousing initiation, for they were of sturdy stock. The year was spent in making' a home for themselves, and the acquaintance of their leaders, and of the pioneers who had reached the new lands earlier. Came the fall of '36 and the band, now 31 in number, advanced to the Sophomore lands in a different territory, the new Windsor Community High School building. By now the pioneers were becoming more used to the strange customs of their adopted land and-began to enter more into the sports, and social life of the settlers. This year rolled happily by, and before the caravan knew it, they had progressed to the range of land called the Junior year. Now they were old settlers to the incoming Freshies and Sophs, and being thoroughly versed in the lore of the settlement, such as giving a class play, and having social get-togethers to talk over the hard-ships of the past, they really began to enjoy their journey. Now, as they realize that the resources of this Junior land are nearly drained, they are looking forward to their pushing onward to the fresh Senior fields where they hope to be even more successful and happy. But befo1'e start- ing they wish to thank their leaders of the Junior lands, Miss Garvin, their play ad- visor, and Mr. Curry, their class advisor, for their aid to them at this part of their JOUFUGY- -Ruth Ramsey, Historian.

History In the fall of 1936, forty-five boys and girls embarked upon a four year cruise in the Windsor High Boat. We new sailors were given a party by the others who had embarked on this ship earlier. Later, as we obtained our sea-legs, we entertained with a party of our own. 1 9 3 8 Seventeen WCHS In May, 1937, we all had shore-leave, but the following September, 36 of us signed back on. Two couldn't continue with us, but Virginia Sue Liston transferred from a Chicago boat and joined our ranks. Being more experienced this year, we have had two parties of our own. One was November 12, and the other one February 25. At the last party, we reverted to our old Kid selves-even to ice cream cones. We were taught the qualities of good behavior last year by Miss Walker, and this year Miss Hammer is captain. Our officers for the year are: President ................. . ..

History On September 1, 1937, thirty-seven seeds were planted in W.C.H.S. gardens. Miss Walker was appointed caretaker. At first all plants looked green and it was hard to tell one from another. It seemed as though all efforts had been in vain, but pretty soon they began to grow and blossom. The gardeners-Algebra, English, Latin, Geography, History, Agriculture, and Band, began to hoe out some of the weeds and prune better plants. The gardener, Band, found a great many beautiful flowers to add to his collection. The flower garden has a few distince specimens, whose names are: President .,........................................... David Munson Vice President ...... . . . . . Laurance Soland Secretary-Treasurer . ....... ........................... H arold Baker Historian ........... .................................. H arold Leeds One plant, which was rather unusual, was transplanted to the Athletic plot. This flower, Elmer Wallace, proved to be one of the five favorites of W.C.H.S. gardens. Two flowers which were so gay and cheerful, proved to be two of three leaders of all the specimens of the school's garden-cheer leaders, Laurance Soland and Harold Leeds. Although this year's garden has been most successful, it is hoped that when these flowers are transplanted from the Freshman garden plot into the Sophomore garden plot, they will be more outstanding than ever. 1 9 3 8 Eighteen ACTIVITIES POW-WOW Th MOST POPULAR GIRL Marjorie Slater .....

The little boy was clad in an immacu- late white suit for the lawn party, and his mother cautioned him about soiling it. He was scrupulous in his obedience, but at last he approached her timidly, and said: Please, mother, may I sit on my pants? During' the siege of Paris in the Franco- German war, when everybody was starv- ing, one aristocratic family had their pet dog served for dinner. The Master of the house when the meal was ended, surveyed the platter through tear-dimmed eyes, and spoke sadly: How Fido would have en- joyed these bones! 1 9 3 8 Twenty Nine WCHS G.A.A.

Front Row: Eugene Swain, Bruce Kline, Raymond Butcher, Glenn Noffke, Elmer Wallace, Jack Jones, Eugene Baugher, Upon looking back over the 1937-38 season, one does not find a record book full of victories, yet the season had some bright spots. There was one W man at the start of the season that was available. Experience was the thing that was missing. Five boys that were used this year were seniors, namely G. Noffke, Kline, Jones, Swain, and Yunker. This leaves Butcher, Baugher, Wallace, and H. Noffke available next year that earned letters in 37-38. Also men from this years squad that are underclassmen are: Workman, Turner, Webb, Garvin, and Richardson. The boys who will be back next year, hope to hit a victory stride in their spacious new gym. They are looking forward to a new feature next year which is a one day tournament to be held at Arthur. Basket Ball Games November 26, 1937, Friday. Windsor 18, Gays 19.

Windsor connected with only two out of eleven free tosses. Reserves won 24-19. December 3, 1937, Friday. Shelbyville 36, Windsor 22. In the first quarter Shelby made seven out of eight shots.

Jack Jones was the smallest man on the team this year. He won't be back next year to help out. We call him Johnny . Glenn Noffke, the center on the team, was high point man. He is a senior, also. His nickname is Legs . ' Elmer Wallace, a freshman, showed his ability to play basketball in the position of gruard. Ile has three years ahead and we are expecting great things of him. He is called Tuggle . Bruce Kline, another senior, played guard. He is known for his long field goals at opportune times. He is known as Lard . Milton Yunker, who is also a senior, played guard. l really don't know what they would have done without the seniors this year. Milton received a skull fracture and was unable to finish the season. Eugene Baugher, a sophomore, also plays guard. We didn't see much of him dur- ing' the first of the season because of E1 tonsil operation. He is better known at Beany . Eugene Swain, a senior, helped save the game quite a few times for the reserves. We call him Ears . Workman, Richardson, and Turner showed their ability on the second team. We are expecting to see good work from them next year. Some more boys that helped the second team win are: Garvin, Webb, Morrison, J. Kasey. Antrim, and R. Kasey. Then we have still another group that we call the Midg'ets . They are: Laurance Soland, David Munson, Cecil Walker, and Harold Baker. Everyone was pleased by the efforts of Mr. Curry, the coach. This was his first year of coaehingy and the lwoys are looking forward to his help next year. Now for a word about our cheer leaders. We decided that you can't always tell by the size of the person whether l'e can make any noise or not. Our cheer leaders, this year, were nearly the same size. Two of them were Freshmen and the other was a Junior. The Freshmen were Laurance Soland and Harold Leeds. The Junior was Dick Lugar. These boys are three of the smallest boys in school, but they certainly can yell, and they did a good job this year. -Janet Baker. Basket Ball Games November 26, 1937, Friday. Windsor 18, Gays 19.

No, we are not flying like birds, but we are riding with ease in a giant airliner which makes non-stop flights from New York to Chicago, and then on to San Francisco. Ah, who is the pretty young blonde in the uniform? Oh, that is the hostess, Imo- gene Bivins. She is a movie star who gave up her career to become the wife of Dick Powell, but after their divorce She docifled to become a hostess on an airliner, just for the adventure. Wlto is the young lady who sits across the aisle from you? Why, she is none other than Janet Baker, or should we say the former Miss Baker, for she is mar- ried now. She is known the world over for her mastery of the: violin. Have you seen the latest picture Curly Goes to Town , p1'oduced by the Warner Brothers? They say it is one of Paulsbest pictures. with Helen Ashbrook playing opposite him. We all know that Helen is the greatest brunette that ever c1'ushed the gates of Hollywood. Junior Elder has settled down and has become the hen-peeked husband of Audrey An- derson, whom we know well. Dr. Richard Hampton, the noted astronomer, is now in Hollywood studying the shapes of different stars. We are told that Jack Jones has in- vented a car which has broken all Speed records. Ho is the present owner of the largest :automobile factory in the world, where his Jones Special is manufactured. Bruce Kline became one of the world best wrcstlersand is now appearing at Madison Square Garden once a week. Bruce has a very effective Style of wrestling. It seems that he throws his opponent en the floor and then jumps into the air and falls on him, mashlng his opponent into submission. He is known as Beef, the Killer . Vera Dickinson did not marry Leo as many thought she would, but became an author and poet. She also writes the Weekly News for Bruce. Ruby Latch is keeping house for her brother and helping to ease his disappointment. Eugene Dietz now owns one of the greatest live- stock farms in the world, and has become noted for his thoroughbred stock. His wife, Louise, helps him with his work. Imogene Shelton finally got J. S. Garvin in her lariat of romance and has kept him there ever since. They live in Tampa, Florida, where they run a casino. Maxine Fisher finally captured a boy from Gays and lives on a farm south of there. She does a very good job taking care of their five-year old twins. And did you know that Shannon Phipps is not married yet? Although he has had many girls on his trail, he has escaped from the sea of matrimony. He is now in Hollywood playing comic roles in the place of Parkykarkus. Dean Noffke is playing ball with the Chicago Cubs. Last year he batted an average of 645, the highest batting 1 9 3 8 F Thirty Eight POW-WOW average ever to be made. He is married and has a small son, Dean Jr., who is follow- ing the footsteps of his father. Florence Storm and Edna Spencer have combined their studio and pet shop in Terre Haute and are leading happy unmarried lives. They have a special attraction. With every picture purchased you will receive either a parrot or a white mouse. Donald McCollum is still trying' to invent and own thc fastest thing on wheels. Last ycar he thought he had made a record, but he found he had forgotten how many times the hand on the speedometer had gone around, so, all was lost. Dean Hartsell is now a scientist and has succeeded in developing' a plant that will grow spinach and ovaltine combined. Walter Rose is running a Date Bureau with the help of his wife, Virginia. He has quite a business with Gerald Ross as his best customer. Gerald has succeeded in finding his one and only . Milton Yunker has taken over his father's business and has developed a new breed of chickens that can talk. It was accomplished by crossing the chickens with hoot-owls and then mixing them with parrots and feeding them canary seed. This makes all chicken problems easier to solve. Erbon Doak has decided that small town life was too dull for him. and so he has be- come an adventurer and is now traveling somewhere in Mexico. Better stay shy of the senoritas, Oaky Doak. Peggy Gordon finally got Eugene Swain to pop the question. As you probably know, Eugene became a civil engineer and is now making money. John Kasey is the president-chairman of the Illinois Liar's Club. Glenn Noffke has finally succeeded in his highest ambition-to write the Foo column. He is also a critic for the Chicago Tribune. Jane Weaver is matron of the new hospital which has lately been constructed in the outskirts ef Windsor. Lavaun Abercrombie is now a floor detective in Avonelle Doak's fashion shop. Enough of the future. Let's return to the good old Earth from which we departed a short time ago. -Senior Class I hate he I hate he I wish he were die, He tell I He love I But oh how him lie. Don't it awful? Eugene B. wrote this definition of the word spine on an examination: A spine is a long, limber bone. Your head sets on one end and you set on the other. The lady of uncertain age simpered at the gentleman of about the same age who had offered her his seat in the car. Why should you be so kind to me? she gurgled. My dear madam, because I myself have a mother and wife and a daughter. The French aristocrats were not al- ways conspicuously eareful in their per- sonal habits. A visitor to a Parisian grande dame remarked to her hostess: But l'ow dirty your hands are. The great lady reefarded her hands doubtfully, as she replied: Oh, do you think so? Why you should see my feet! We are more particular nowadays about cleanliness than were those of a past generation. Charles Lamb, during a wbist game, remarked to his partner: Martin, if dirt were trumps, what a hand you'd have! Mr. Curry- In which of the battles was King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden slain?
