Classes -- lDOWrllm0W Senior Class History 'Twas May 31, 1979, in the town of Windsor, Illinois. There was an air of festivity over all, and large, imported cars and airplanes were arriving continually, bearing a stream of distinguished men and women. All were flocking to a small, buff-colored. beautiful, old brick building set back in a lovely green lawn. This building had not been in use for fifteen years and on the front was a placard saying Purchased in 1964 by the Senior Class of 1939 for their class reunions. Inside the dim old halls, 30 successful middle-aged men and women, the entire class, and by a wonderful miracle, the ten faculty members of their Senior year, were happily walking about glancing at the rooms and trophies, all of which remained the same, and wistfully reminiscing. Do you remember, asked one, how queer we all felt in the fall of 1935, when we assembled at the old high school to become the last Freshman class there? I can even re- member our first class officers-Paul Ellis, Ruby Veech, Ruth Ramsey, Anna Fay Her- ron, and Mary Munson. Miss Sutter was our able class advisor. We didn't have any hand until our Junior year, but I recall that Mary Munson, Jay Garvin, Eleanor Garvin, Betty Storm, Emma Hudson, and Anna Fay Herron were all in the school orchestra. Will you ever forget eagerly asked another elderly lady as she examined the rusty lockers, all the inconveniences of our Soph year, which was the year we started in this building. School began on September 21, but even so, the building' was unfinish- ed. There were only 31 of us that September, as compared with the 37 of our first year, and only three more dropped out during the year. Mr. Johnson was our wise choice for advisor and for officers we chose: Ruby Veech, Emma Hudson, Peggy Gordon, and Ruth Ramsey. WCHS was on the air over WDZ that year, and remember how excited we were! Several of our teachers left that year-Miss Sutter, Mr. Gibson, Miss Lilly and Miss Hood, and we were sorry to see them go. But how glad we were to see the last day of school which didn't arrive until June 11. We really began enjoying High School our Junior year, tho, didn't we? We had several new teachers that year-Crescy Turner, Gwendolyn Hammer, Mary Ann Gar- vin, and Russell Curry. Mr. Curry was our class .advisor and Miss Garvin coached our play, Find The Woman. Our officers were: Doris Hampton, Peggy Gordon, Louise McVay, and Ruth Ramsey. The newly organized WCHS band placed third in a contest at Greenville. Doris Hampton went to the All-State Orchestra at Champaign: and Anna Fay received first place in a piano solo contest at Normal and thus got to enter the State Contest. One of the group then inquired from their former teacher, the ex-Miss Garvin, if she remembered what a time they had in giving the Junior and Senior Banquet in 1938. This inquiry brought forth a volley of memories and each recounted their recollections led by the Peggy Gordon of school days, who began Well, I for one, certainly do. I happened to be on the committee who, with Mr. Curry's invaluable aid, saw to the arrangements. We held it at the U. S. Grant Hotel in Mattoon. Remember how excited we were to think that the event which we had so long awaited had at last arrived! Miss Ridgely was our only new teacher the next year and she took the place which Miss Walker had left the spring before, much to our sorrow. The group was silent for a few minutes as to the minds of each came the memory of the first day of school that year, with its sadness over the death of one of their well- liked classmate, Dwight Richardson, who had been with them from the first grade. In hushed tones, the elderly men and women, with their high school teachers, recalled the many qualities of that friend. 1939 Eleven llbowflllllow In one corner stood a group who had gone to school from the first grade to the end of their Senior year together. They were: Marjorie Cruitt, Ruth Edwards, Jay Garvin, Mary Munson, Ruth Ramsey, Emma Hudson, and Anna Fay Herron. A lovely lady was leading the conversation about Senior officers- Harlan Conley, Doris Hampton. Raymond Workman and Ruth Ramsey. We again chose Mr. Curry for advisor and Mr. Turner as Pow-Wow advisor. There were 32 of us at the beginning of the year, but before long, Vernon Curry and Elva Hall moved away for which we were all sorry. Our number consisted of five Gays students-John Hortenstine, Earl Miller, Lawerence Shafer, Mary Sullivan, and Elva. Mae Kull 'from Strasburg and Louise Har- den from Sullivan had joined us the year before. Remember the wiener roast out at Harlan's and how Mr. Curry and the boys organized us into teams and we played touch football in the moonlight? By the way, what kind of a team did we have that year? Wasn't that the year we won several trophies? Mr. Curry became the main speaker, I'll say it was! The boys won first at Arthur. See, fas the group advanced to the trophy casej this is the trophy we brought home with us, and this is the one that we received as first in the Moultrie County Tournament, and this is for second place in the Shelby County Tournament. Four of you boys received letters that year-Red, Lawrence, Earl, and John. We didn't have such a bad softball team, either, And you all remember, surely, what a good track man Ivan was? Say, interrupted a sweet, old lady, who was recognized as the Miss Hammer of former days, don't forget that the girls won that banner in there for placing second in the State Telegraphic BB Shooting Contest, upon which the woman who had once been Miss Lough of the WCHS Faculty burst forth, And remember my Typing and Short-- hand teams-Betty Ann, Eleanor, Dorothy, Ruby, Marjorie, anfi Ruth went to the con- test at Charleston! Since the trend seemed to be toward contests, several other contestants were re- called: Anna Fay who had won first division on oboe, Doris who had placed first division on cello and had gone to the National Contest, and Mary Munson who had won first in B Schools at a Contest in Orations. Mary had also placed first in the Moultrie County Speech Tournament. Emma and Ruby had attended the All-State Chorus at Champaign that year. From there the conversation proceeded to the many duties of the Senior class which the class of '39 had enjoyed so muchfchoosing rings, having pictures made, publishing the Pow-Wow, presenting the Senior play, Give Me Credit , exams, and the Pana Con- ference which recalled so many laughable experiences. The last few minutes before the program were spent in expressing to that group of teachers and leaders, the sincere thanks of those 30 successful men and women who thoroughly realized that they owed much to them for their services, friendship, teach- ings and guidings of High School days. Each student knew that he had profited much because of them, and sincerely hoped they would be or had been worthy of them. -Ruth Ramsey, Historian. 1939 .LEOTA AB1'.:aCgiUL-il4lE-- Benut1ful She ern pass unc. bounce Lnd but the bull , Sha likes these sports and is ood in them ull .

Two new shipmates have joined our crew: Walter Tilford from the Gays Boat, and Frances Etheridge from the Cowden Boat. We have been very fortunate not to have lost any of our crew. Miss Hammer is captain again this year. On January 11 we entertained guests and faculty to a party, and April 21 we had a spring get-together. Our athletic boys won the class basketball tournament this year. One of our crew, Rosemary Edwards, won secc-nd in her division of dramatic read- ings in the sub-district held at Robinson, but placed first in the B Schools competing in the same contest, which made her eligible to go to the District hcld at Charleston. April 5, she won second place in Dramatic Readings at the Moultrie County Literary Meet, held at Gays. I On March 11, another member of the crew, Virginia Sue Liston, placed in the sec- ond division, in a piccolo solo contest held at Tuscola. -Joe Hampton, Historian Sophomore Class History In the first week of September 1937, forty excited students filled with turmoil and embarrassment, gathered at the dock of the four ships of education of WCHS. Having been assigned to the good ship Freshmen by the officer in charge, J. H. Duns- comb, we left port. The captain of our ship was Reta Walker. We had barely navigated the dangerous reefs just outside the harbor, when we were attacked by the Sopho- more, another ship. Although only a few received minor injuries, we shall never forgot our first encounter. Many more storms and squalls occurred, but we weathered them easily. The end of our first voyage came very -quickly. After reaching dock we dis- covered only thirty-five of the forty completed the round trip. As soon as all were granted three-months shore leave, Reta Walker, our Captain, retired from the service. On September 1, 1938, we set sail with Captain Bennett in charge, who informed us we were headed for the South Seas. All the mariners of the first voyage were baclc, including a new recruit, Harold Bullerman, from ship Strasburg, Eighteen weeks out we survived an attack of torpedos from two submarines, Latin and Geometry. Al. this time, Waunita Pifer, who had proved her seamanship in the first voyage trans- ferred to Warship Decatur . Imogene Manion was also moved to the Cruiser Stras- burg , A few days later two sailors, Donald Rankin and Velma Turrentine fell over- board, and were lost. Thirty-two were then left on board, nineteen of which played in the WCHS band. While cruising among the South Sea Islands, we were shipwrecked on a hidden reef. Here Captain Bennett organized four expeditions to get provisions. Commander Baker led party Manual Training to find repairs for the ship. Commander-Lieutenant Leeds led the detachment English and History to make use of some oldg maps telling where a valuable treasure of rare poems were hidden. Lieutenant Soland led party Ag. and Home Ec. to buy food and fresh meats from the cannibals. Captain Bennett him- self headed the searching party Biology to find some rare fossils for research work. The ship, having been repaired and filled with provisions, set sail for home. We all ex- pect to dock May 29, 1941. Here we will rest before a voyage in the North Seas where it takes more skillful navigating. -Elmer Wallace, Historian 1939 Nineteen 7Y, , owfwlow JUNIORS First row fleft to rightj-Laurabelle Manion, Marjorie Lovins, Thelma King, Aileen Carter, Betty Adkins, Madonna Jeanne Kinkade, Miss Gwendolyn F.

On September 6, we took off from the field carrying huge supplies of gas and oil in a fine new craft which was well equipped for a long tedious journey. There were fifty-one anxious but bewildered passengers. We were well organized with Gene Glasscock as pilot, Isaac Walden, co-pilot, Irene Ash- brook in charge of records, Howard Hamilton in charge of finances, Mary Maxine Bence in charge of past and present happenings, and Miss Ridgley as stewardess. With the crew and passengers as listed, we were off to a flying start. In a few short days we had to land in order to attend our all-school party, which was really our initiation, but we survived and were soon off to higher lands. It was not long until we flew into some bad air pockets called Algebra, Latin, His- tory, Agriculture, Geography and English. We had to make several landings for passen- gers that could not stand the high altitudes. We noticed in the distance, what apparently were dark clouds, but upon inspection we found them to be a mountain of exams. Some of us went over the top easily, while others just barely escaped mishap. The passengers that left for various reasons were: Junior Reed, Bob Gaston, Clifford Seeley, Otis Butler, and Maxine Manion. New pas-. sengers taken on board were Dorothy Osgood and Junior Ethridge. We made several other landings in order to attend various school functions which added to the enjoyment of the trip. We have made our last landing on Freshland and are now ready to start our trip over Sophland. -Mary Maxine Bence, Historian Pow-Wow History In 1922 the Senior Class of W.C.H.S. published the Pow-Wow. 1No, I don't remem- ber it, I was only a year old thenj. Orvyll Bundy was the Editor, and Ralph fDickJ Ed- wards, the Business Manager. Although this was the first year of a community high school, the student body was engaged in many activities among which were Glee Club, Orchestra, Basketball, and Track. The class of 1923 continued the Pow-Wow's publication and it was watched carefully by Garvin Grider, and Ralph Cox fthe grade school principal nowj ably managed the business affairs. The social activities were many this year, among which was the time honored Junior and Senior Banquet, and an Alumni reception and dance. Clarence Robb had the responsibility of editing the Pow-Wow of 1924 and he did a remarkable job, but he had the reliable help of Corwin Hamilton to manage the busi- ness affairs. The Pow-Wow improved year by year. This year of 1925 Glen Armantrout edited it and Edward Webb managed the business. Guess what teacher was a Sophie -none other than our Gansel Bennett-RATHER BASHFUL THEN? ?? The year of 1926 was the year of history making. The Pow-Wow was the largest and also the most costly fgood old daysj that has ever been put out. Paul Bridges edited it and Harold Nichols managed to sell 400 copies. This was the year in which the book was dedicated to the basketball team. They won the District Basketball Tournament. Hurrayll You've all heard of the Dutch? This was the theme of the 1927 Pow-Wow and Wilda Grider watched the dikes to see that no trouble hurt this Pow-Wow. Earl Davidson was all business, he didn't have time for anything else. This book was dedicated to the par- rnts. Very unique we thought! 1939 Twenty Three llbowfillllow Burl Small was the editor of the 1928 year book. Melvin Rentfrow was business manager. The art work was especially notable in this book. It was done by Kenneth Stephens, now a commercial artist. There was a big market crash in 1929, but Jane Moberley didn't let the Pow-Wow's standards slip. The advertisers came through with a helping hand due to Wendell Hart- sell's persuasion. Florence Curry, QE. I. student this yearj and a sister to our Coach, edited the Pow-Wow this year. John Bland managed the financial end of the job. None other than our English teacher Mary Ann Garvin edited the Pow-Wow with the help of the business ability of her cousin Jacob Grider. There was an Indian theme carried out through the 1931 book. At that time there was an honorary society. What do you think we found? On the shield were the names of none other than Russell Curry and Mary Ann Garvin, two members of our faculty. This was one of the best year books published. The last Pow-Wow for a few years was the 1932 book edited by Eugene Bauer and Russell Curry. The business managers were Paul York and Carl Edwards, brother of one of our freshmen, Rose Marie Edwards. After an interruption due to the depression Qterrible bore isn't it?J the publication of the Pow-Wow was resumed in 1935. This issue was planographed which was consider- ably cheaper than printing. We owe a debt of gratitude to the editors, Ruth Elder and Roberta Conley, and to the business managers, Wendell Lugar and Fred Ryherd in giv- ing us this book. A new building! A dream coming true. This was the last annual published in the old school, so it was dedicated to the old High School. The editors were Ruby Miner and Lyle Munson. The business managers, Dean Fling and Paul Bennett. We were all proud of the architects' drawing of the new building. The following year Mildred Thompson and Phyllis Storm edited the Pow-Wow and appropriately dedicated it to the now completed and efficient as well as beautiful new building. Richard Gannaway and Charles Workman Qgood financiersl made it possible for the pictures in the annual to be real pictures, not engraved copies. Last year the annual was published under the directorskip of Helen Ashbrook and Ruby Latch. Walter Rose and Junior Elder managed the accounts. Asst. Editor-Jay Garvin.

A vocal ensemble also took part, consisting of Ruby Veech, Eleanor Garvin, Virginia Liston, Emma C. Hudson, Kathleen Richardson, Helen Clawson, Frances Maye Douthit and Anna Fay Herron. On May 27th, the Band and a Clarinet Trio played several selections for Commence- ment exercises. The trio was composed of Audrey Anderson, Kathleen Richardson, and Marjorie Slater, with Anna Fay Herron, accompanist. The Glee Club sang To A Wild Rose, by McDowell. Instead of our musical indulgences being over when school was out, the Band kept right on tooting . We each had a lesson every week, a rehearsal, a weekly concert and certain practice requirements. The concerts, sponsored by the merchants, were on Wednesday nights. For those faithful to our organization, and who met' the necessary requirements, awards were presented. The highest-ranking members received gold chenille W's, with blue felt background and small blue lyres in the center. The next highest were given blue W's with gold trim. The money for our summer services went to the Band Fund to buy new uniforms. On August 16, our band went to Springfield to play in the State Fair Band Contest. Were we pleased when we heard we won first place in our Division? We also received the Governor Horner Trophy , which few Bands win, as this denotes that we were the most outstanding band of our Class. We played for the Harvest Picnic the 25th of August, the last event for the Seniors of '38. We started right out in September playing at the Old Folks Home at Sullivan on the thirteenth, an event sponsored by Mr. John Smysor. On the 22nd we played for P. T. A. We received our trophy on October 18th and it was presented to the school by Anna Fay Herron. Our Musicians presented several duets, trios and quartets as well as many group numbers, furnishing music for P.T.A., O.C.Y., Women's Clubs, Strasburg High School, Methodist Church Silver Anniversary and many other local functions. Twenty new uniforms were purchased and our band has increased until we now have 54 members. We earned the money for part of these uniforms from our second annual W.H.S. Show given November first and second. We cleared S106. A portion of the Band was used for entertainment at our Home Basketball Games. We also played at the Arthur Invitational Tournament and the Shelby County Tourna- ment which was held here. A small group was selected to play for the Dads and Lads Banquet at the Methodist Church February 23rd. March came, and with it Contest Time. We had Band rehearsals every Tuesday night for four weeks, in preparation for the Contest at Arthur. On March 11th, Eleanor Garvin, Virginia Liston and Anna Fay Herron went to the District Contest for Band Soloists at Arthur. Frances May Douthit was the accompanist. Eleanor was placed in Second Division on Tromboneg Virginia. Sue in Second Division on Piccolog and Anna Fay in First Division on Oboe, which entitled her to go to the State Contest at Normal University April 15th. Doris Hampton also qualified for the State Contest by placing in First Division on Cello at the District Orchestra Soloist Contest at Normal Commu- nity High School March 31st. Frances May Douthit: was placed in Second Division at flze same District. Anna Fay Herron placed in Third Division at the State Contest April 15th and Doris Ilzimpton placed in Second Division and was recommended for the National Contest at Anderson, Indiana May 18, 19, and 20. Good luck Doris. .er 'IT' --- owflllllow The Band entered the District Band Contest at Arthur April 1st, and received a Group II rating, which was very remarkable, as we were the youngest Band, Qorganized the shortest timej and from the second smallest school by enrollment figures, among the fifteen entries in our Division. Plans are being made to enter some of our musicians in the Wesleyan Interscholastic Music Contests which are to be held April 22. There is to be a Band Festival here May 5th with Sullivan, Cowden, Moweaqua, Ar- thur, Shelbyville, Herrick and Windsor taking part. Each band will play two numbers and as a finale, a mass band, selected from the best members of each band will play two numbers, the directors to draw to see who directs the large band. Each band will also have a soloist appear while the next band is getting ready for their turn. Windsor is starting this Festival this year and it is planned to make it an annual affair, changing: the location each year. Another Concert Series is being planned for this summer as well as another trip to the State Fair.

As I entered the Ellis Drug Store on Virginia Avenue for the first time in twenty years, I was greeted by Paul Ellis and invited to have a soda on the house. We sat down in one of the new up-to-date 1939 owfillllow booths made of platinum and proceeded to gossip as in the old days. Paul told me that several of our old Senior Class of '39 were still in their native haunts, among them J. S. Garvin, who is running the Garvin Hardware Store and has a veterinary office in the store room as a hobby, Eleanor Garvin, Jay's sister, who has finally landed a man and is to be married in two weeks, leaving only one old maid in the family nowg and Merle Anderson, who married Eugene Baugher and is living on a farm raising Beanies, Paul said that four of our classmates in the good old school days , were living in Gays. Johnny Hortenstine finally saw the light and became a minister. He is preaching in Gays and has boosted the attendance to 30 on Christmas week. His wife, Marjory Cruitt, also has the honor of being president of the Gays W. C. T. U. Of all surprises, here it is: Emma C. Hudson finally realized her mistake and married Earl Miller, and together they run a cream station in the busy Gays Loop . I had just come from Chicago, where I have been broadcasting and writing for a news syndicate earning the nickname, The Female Winchell . Paul, of course, was very anxious to know if I had any news of our friends of twenty or so years ago. I re- plied as follows: Several old friends are in the entertainment world, among them Anna Fay Herron, who has a fine five-piece Kitchen Band , made up of some of her class- mates, BettyStorm, Louise Harden, Johnnie Ross, and two boys from Dunn. Each town in which they appear is wowed by their side-show, advertising Crun:hie-Wunchie Potato Chips . Louise Harden Dietz owns the portable machine, which is operated by Eugene and Johnnie. Johnnie sells tobacco on the side, Betty whistles to attract a crowd, and Anna Fay lectures on The Evils of Cigar Smoking . Dorothy Hilligoss, a second Zasu Pitts, is giving barnyard imitations over Station WDZ.g Leota Abercrombie, who started as an usher at the Windsor Theatre, is now the latest Glamour Girl , and will be starred in the new Paramount picture, Beauty and the Beast , supported by Ivan Kull, the successor to Boris Karloff. Lawerence Shafer and Mary Lou Sullivan are barnstorming the country with a routine of juggling and acrobatics. Lawerence juggles 5 basketballs at once fas he used to do with one,j and Mary Lou on her trapeze, swings right out, fas in days gone byj. Who should come in the door but Raymond Workman, the old Red-head . Paul in- vited him to sit down and join us and of course Red had plenty to contribute. He said that he was very busy on his latest case fRaymond being a lawyerj, in defense of his client Doris Hampton, who had broken her cello over the head of one of the audience at her most recent concert at the Stewardson Town Hall. She claimed that the man had hissed her best number. Raymond also told us that he had seen two more former class- mates while in the vicinity of Stewardson, Mae Kull and Margaret Storm, who were both married and lived on adjoining farms near Strasburg, Mae's Hiram owning a large dairy farm, and Margaret's Milton specializing in chickens, cattle, and kids. Ray- mond went on to tell us that near his office in Chicago, Peggy Gordon owned a Beauty Salon and has two girls from Windsor working for her, each a specialist at hair styling. Ruby Veech and Louise McVay. Ruth Edwards, he told us, had just started a new comic strip in the Tribune, which brought her cartoons to a total of 59 newspapers. Her husband, Harlan Conley, is living with her and is still running for Congress in every primary, his success at being elected dcgcatcher at Gays several years back hav- ing gone to his head. I asked Paul if he had heard of Virginia Morrison and he showed me a stamp which she had sent him from India, where she is doing missionary work and is greatly loved by all the natives. He showed me some stamps he had received from Dick Lugar, who, having finally mastered his English, is now a Professor of Languages at Harvard. I told Paul that I hated to leave but really had to see some friends in the short time I had to stay in Windsor, and saying goodbye I went out to get in the car. This was when I received my largest surprise of all. I was arrested for parking too near the fire plug at the side of the drug store and by whom do you think? By Mary Munson, who 3933 -1.!1:.,-K r JP? f 1-ap.:-ai ,., V-.yu -,.,. ,I llbowfwow had abandoned her law office in Reno and had taken over George Jones position as the first lady officer in the history of Windsor. Her slogan, was, I always get my man. Mary, not recognizing me, took me before the Mayor, Mrs. Betty Ann Jones. Betty Ann recognized me immediately and had the charges dismissed at once. She told me she was the first lady Mayor and was elected by the wives of Windsor . Her platform was, Clean up the town, more light on the dirt around town, and an early curfew for this awful younger generation . I thanked the Mayor and hurried on my way to visit more old friends. Humorous Notes Everything happens in Windsor: Mr. Curry rushed out of his study- Get my first aid kit at once, he shouted. Why, what's the matter? inquired his sister. Some fellow just phoned and said hc can't live without me, gasped the coach as he reached for his hat. His sister gave- a sigh of relief. Just a moment, she said gently. I think that call was for me. Paul Ellis: Mary M. turned me down when I asked her for another dance. Jay Garvin: Well she knows hei bunions. Mr. Bennett fto biology students!- Trout are not air minded, but they often go for a fly. Marjorie Cruitt Cas plane falls into a spiny: Quick, what do I do now, Instruct- or? Virginia Morrison: Gee whiz--Aren't you the Instructor? ' Beanie Baugher: No, I won't kiss you, I've got scruplesf' Merle Anderson: That's all right. I've been vaccinated. Miss Lough: The doctor said my face was a beautiful poem. Mr. Turner: Did he say which lines he liked the best? Lawerence Shafer: I want some flesh- reducing medicine. Druggist: Anti-fat? Lawerence: Naw, it's uncle. H Miss Ridgley: A kiss speaks volumes. D0n't Delay Davis: Let's start a library. Pm a li'l acorn, Fell down from a tree, 'Long came a big man And stepped on me, Teedle-um, teedle-um, I'm cracked! News Flash! Kenny Anderson chases turtle! Mr. Johnson: You made a mistake in that prescription I gave my mother-in- law. Instead of quinine you used strych- nine. Druggist: You don't say! Then you owe me twenty cents more. Mr. Dunscomb: Hey, folks! My wife is unconscious: she can't talk! Miss Garvin: What's the complaint? Mr. Dunscomb: No complaint! Every- thing is dandy! H Margaret Storm: Do you carry radio tubes? Clerk: Of course. Margaret: Well, be careful and don't drop any. Have you heard the typical feminine compliment? My dear, what a stunning dress! Didn't they have it in your size? If it were not For this short verse, Ther-e'd be a joke here Ten times worse. 1939 Forty Seven i-i-llbowflllllow Candid Shots 1. Mr. Dunscomb Mr. Dunscomb, affectionately called Jobey , has been our principal for four years. During those years we have learned to love him and to revere his judgment and advice. He has quite a record of faithful attendance to the school-until the second semester of this school term he had at-- tended nineteen years without absence be- cause of illness. We would like to express our thanks to him for his helpful guidance and extend our best wishes to him in the future. 2. Camera Club The Camera Club was organized 'it the beginning of the second semester un- der the capable leadership of Mr. Bennett. Its purpose is to teach the members the principles of picture composition. We have seen some excellent examples of their silhouettes, landscapes, animals, and most amusing of all their candid shots. A roll of films was given every three weeks for the best pictures. Earl Miller, Naomi De- war, Paul Ellis, and Harold Leeds have received awards. Mr. Bennett and six boys attended the Decatur Camera Club ex- hibit. The club wishes to extend to Bert Carter their thanks and appreciation for all the help that he has given them in their work. We wish Mr. Bennett and the club success in all their future activities. 3. Soft Ball Team This is a candid picture of the soft oall team and their competent coach, Mr. Curry. Details of the team are found in the athletic section. 4. Ag Judging Team The agriculture judging team con- sisted of Eugene Hughes, Gene Glasscock and Kenneth Templeton. Their alternate was Harold Baker. The boys won first honors in the sectional poultry judging contest at Assumption. As individuals Glasscock won first and Eugene and Ken- neth tied for third. We think Mr. Johnson is successfully carrying out his work here, and his Future Farmers Organization has added many honors to our school. 5. Music Solo Contestants Three of our accomplished musicians under the direction of our efficient teach- er, Mr. Turner, went to Arthur, and there, Anna Fay Herron won first on oboe, Virginia Liston second on piccolo, and Eleanor Garvin second on trombone. They were all accompanied by Frances Douthit on the piano. Doris Hampton and Frances attended a contest at Normal and there Doris, accompanied by Anna Fay won first on cello, and Frances placed in second division on piano. The two firsts, Anna Fay and Doris, will go to Illinois State Normal University April 15 to compete in the State Contest. 6. Willis Willis, commonly known to the stu- dents of WCHS as Willie . During all of our four years of high school he has been a friend to all of us. Here you see him on a new power mower helping keep our school yard the beautiful place it is. 7. Part of the Typing Class This is a picture of our seniors doing' their typing exercises. Windsor High School is adequately equipped with Royals and Underwoods of new models. Miss Lough, our typing instructor, has spent much effort in seeing that we become competent ACCURATE typists, and it appears that she has succeeded from the high speeds of different class members. 8. Post-Grads Ruby Latch, Helen Ashbrook, and returned to our midst Imogene Bivins to take post-grad work. They have helped us with much of our senior work and we wish them much success and happiness ill the future. 1939 Forty Eight llbowflllllow g More Humor Frances Douthit: Hawaiian, gentleman? You must be Hungary. Harlan Conley: Yes, Siam, and I can't Rumania very long either. Venice lunch ready? Frances: I'll Russia to a table. Will you Havana? Harlan: Nome. You will do. Frances: Good, Japan the menu yet? The Turkey is Nice. Harlan: Anything at all ...... but cari't Jamaica little speed? Frances: I don't think we can Fiji that fast, but Alaska. Harlan: Never mind asking, put a Cuba in our Java. Frances: Sweden it yourself. I am only here to Servia. Harlan: Denmark our bill and call the Bosphorus, he'll probably Kenya. I don't Bolivia know who I am? Frances: You Armenia. Boss: Samoa your wisecracks is it? Don't Genoa customer is always right? What's got India? You think this arguing Alps business? Harlan: Canada racket, 'Spain in neck. Frances: Shay what is thish, anyhow? A small boy, leading a donkey, passed by an army camp. A couple of soldiers wanted to have some fun with the lad. What are you holding on to your brother so tight for, sonny? asked one of them, with a grin. So he won't join the army, the young- ster replied. 1Now, make your cracks about the younger generationj. Laurie May: Why is it That when some men say I love you! Interest ceases- Yet when HE Merely nods Hello I just go all to pieces? Editor's note: H. N. how could you be so mean? News Flash! Now turtle's chasing Ken- .iy Anderson. Mrs. Walker: When the boy threw stones at you, why'didn't you call me in- stead of throwing them back at him? Cecil: What good would it do to tell you? You can't hit the side of a barn. Bus Kasey: When I was climbing Pike's Peak- Jobe: What! Bus: I said when I was climbing a hill the other day. Jobe: What hill? Bus: All right, I stubbed my toe on a pebble, so what? Butch: Oh Frances May, I certainly adore you. Frances: Say what do you think I am, rm door knob? Butch: Oh, Frances, a door knob? Frances: Yes, easily turned by anyone. Doris, said Miss Ridgley, You mis- spelled most of the words in your essay. Yes'm, explained Doris Hampton, I'm going to be a dialect writer. Mary has a little skirt And it keeps growing shorterg If she ever has it washed, It won't cover what it orter- Confidentially, it shrinks. Emma C.: Now where could I have put my car keys? Louise Mc: The car's locked, maybe, you lost them. Emma: Oh! I remember, I lost my keys so much that I just locked them in the car as safety first. Louise: Well, if they are locked in the car how are you going to ride home? Emma: Don't worry about me, I'll just rfde home in the rumble seat. That stars This trees Them car Those breeze! Your plan Is grand: But I, buddy, Gotta study! 1939 Fifty One llbowflllllow Candid Shots 9. Speech Contestants . This is the first year WCHS has belonged to the Illinois High School Speech League and we have made quite a showing! This is purely extra curricular activity and these students, under the skillful direction of Miss Mary Ann Garvin have brought honors to our school. In the fall' of the year, Charleston Teachers High School spon- sored a speech festival at which there were approximately four hundred students par- ticipating. Rosemary Edwards and Audrey Anderson entered in serious reading, and Mary Munson and Eleanor Garvin in oratoricai declamation. The girls placed in pre- liminary runs but not in the finals. On March 25, the contestants-Mary, Oration, Rosemary, Serious, accompanied by Miss Garvin attended the first Progressive Meet- ing of the League held at Robinson. The entrant of each classification ranked regardless of the size of the school or previous experience. Rosemary ranked second in serious reading and Mary third in oratorical declamation. However, each had highest ranking in their own division of B schools. This rating entitles the girls to enter district con- test which is to be held at Charleston April 15 and providing they place in first, second or third division in this contest they wil! be eligible to enter state finals, to be held at U. of I. On April 5 we entered Moultrie County Literary Contest to be held at Gays. In this contest Mary placed first in oration, and Rosemary second in dramatic reading. This contest does not affect the standing in the high school league in any way. We all give a vote of thanks to Miss Garvin and the girls and wish them the best of luck in their coming contest. ' 10. New Trophies WCHS has been presented several new trophies this year. The basketball boys won first in two tournaments-the Moultrie County and the Arthur four-team tourney, and second in the Shelby County Tournament. The band was awarded a first place trophy for their musical talents at the State Fair and the GA.A. girls won second in the telegraphic basket shooting contest of this year. 11. Cheer Leaders , Marjorie Slater and Emma J. Elliott have expertly led the cheering section all year. These girls have spent a lot of time and effort in learning catchy new yells, and clever gestures and have been an added attraction at all the games. Their suits were navy and gold with blue caps and slippers. Especially famous was Emma's upside down yell and the Heigh--Ho Windsor stunt. 12. Manual Training The manual training boys, under the watchful eye of Mr. Davis do their drawings, tracings and blue printing the first semester. Then the second semester there are a large variety of projects being made in wood-working, both by hand and machine. 13. Library This is a section of the library showing a group of students busily preparing their lessons for recitation. 14. Physics - The physics laboratory is a very modern one. Here are shown several students studying some of the experimental apparatus. 15. Pep Meeting The pep meetings we had before almost all the basketball games were always something to look forward to. Names were drawn to see who would make speeches, all our new yells were practiced, and all in all it was a friendly get-together . 1939 Fifty Two E 3, 1 fi, is u L5 Q' . ww.
