« The Pow-Wow 1940 Volume Seventeen Presented by the Senior Class of Windsor Community Hieh School Windsor, Illinois •:— PQW WOW— -• DEDICATION 1936—The scene is laid—the last brick is in place—the last desks are in order—the floors have their last coat of wax—Into these surroundings we entered in 1936—not as Seniors, Juniors or Sophomores— but as Freshmen. Through these halls we have hurried from one class to another, will we be on time? In these rooms we have acquired ou - knowledge—either large or small—and with our fellow schoolmates we have shared the glory and thrill of a new and beautiful building. And so to this building—our High School—we dedicate this book, not because of its beauty, but because we are the first class to be hovered in its walls from start to finish—because it has been our home for the past four years—because of our memories which we acquired here. WCHS 1940 Two • =POW wow-— • FOREWORD We, the Senior Class of 1940, are continuing the custom and tradition of presenting an annual. Realizing how difficult the task of publishing an annual would have been without the supervision of an experienced director, we wish to thank Mr. Davis who has supervised the work of this annual. We also wish to thank the advertisers and subscribers who have made the publication of this book possible. --WCHS 1940 Five •— —POW WOW: J. H. DUNSCOMB University of 111. M. S. Washington Univ. B. S.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We wish to thank the people of Windsor Community High School District, for the wonderful building in which the class of 1936 had the opportunity to start in their quest of high school education. Our first year’s start was delayed three weeks due to installation of new equipment, but on September 21, 1936, forty-five lucky green Freshmen entered the portals of VV. C. H. S. We elected Joe Hampton, President, Laurnette May, Vice President, Raymond Butcher, Secretary and Treasurer and Martha Morgan, Historian. Miss Walker was chosen as class advisor. Our first party was March 12, 1937 and was a success with the majority of members and three teachers present. Sandwiches and ice cream bars were refreshments. September 1, 1937 thirty-six students returned, also a new face, Virginia Sue Liston. There was a more settled beginning as the building was now complete. Our officers were Barbara Jones, President, Eugene Baugher, Vice President, Bob Jones, Secretary and Treasurer, and Dorothy Juhnke. Historian. Miss Hammer was our class advisor. We gave two parties, November 12, and February 25, the latter a “kid” party, at which we all acted natural. September 3, 1938—thirty-six members—new faces this year were Walter Tilford and Frances Etheridge. Miss Hammer continued as advisor. Eugene Baugher1, President, Kathleen Richardson, Vice President, Rosemary Edwards, Secretary and Treasurer, and Joe Hampton, Historian. Two more parties this year! January 11, we en- WCHS 1940 o Nine • =PQW WOW • tertained faculty and guests and on April 21 a spring get together. Our class really won recognition this year through Rosemary Edwards and Virginia Sue Liston, the former winning first place in contest in Dramatics and the latter placed in second division in piccolo solo. September 1939—thirty-six members and a new classmate, Delmar Shafer. Four short years—and the first class to complete the entire program in the new building. Charles Sumner joined us, and Elva Hall left us during the year. Our officers were Marjorie Lovins, President, Raymond Butcher, Vice President, Harold Noffke, Secretary and Treasurer. Russell Curry was our class advisor, Marie Ridgley our play advisor, fnd Frank Davis our Pow-Wow advisor. Of the first ten basket ball players, we had seven members, But'-her, Noffke, Shafer, Hampton, Webb, Turner, and Jones. And we really went places!!! Winning 30 out of 34 games. We won the Arthur Invitational, Shelby County, and Regional tournaments, and were runner up at the sectional. Barbara J. Jones Historian SENIOR PLAYS This year the senior class is giving two plays under the direction of Miss Ridgley. One is a mystery and the other a comedy. The “House of Greed” is a very mysterious play. Letita Roberts, a wealthy spinster, who has a reputation of being the meanest woman in the city, is suddenly found dead. Servants and relatives all have some justifiable reason for instigating her mysterious death and these facts are revealed at the beginning of the play. The remainder of the plot deals with the attempts of the detective to find the guilty party and this provides an exc’ting trend in plot unfoldment until the end of the play when the most innocent appearing member of the group proves to be the murderer. The characters of the play are—Miss Letitia Roberts—Rosemary Edwards, Car-lotta Hendricks—Barbara J. Jones, Mamie Hield—Laurnette May, Gwenda Lee— Virginia Sue Liston, Cedric Roberts—Harold Noffke, Jerry McArthur—Delmar Shafer, Detective Brooks—Eugene Baugher. TEEING OFF by Richard Drummond Bentley Eller...................................................Charles Sumner Doris, His wife....................................................Dorothy Herron Mrs. Kimble, Doris’ Aunt Jane.....................................Audrey Anderson Joe Links, Bentley’s friend.............................................Jim Turner Bentley Eller has decided to take up the game of golf for diversion when his wife’s Aunt Jane comes for a visit and tries to keep him from grat:fying this long-time urge.

It takes a house-to-house canvasser to change Aunt Jane’s convictions.

C. H. S. We got under way about the first week in September. Not being accustomed to the ways and means of surviving this hard life, we were somewhat mixed up during the first few days of our journey. However, we got used to the hardships and proceeded on our way. We met a few tribes of hostile Indians (English, algebra, and agriculture) during the first term of our journey. The English and algebra tribes were the most fierce. The unusual detail about these tribes was that they were led by a couple of Squaws (Garvin and Walker). The agriculture tribe was led by Chief Johnson, the first red headed Indian I ever saw. Despite the Indians, none of our band had been massacred when spring came and we camped for a rest, which lasted through the summer of ’38. At about the same time as in the previous fall, we renewed our journey in 1938. Being better acquainted with W. C. H. S.’s life we knew more about how to handle the average tribe of Indians, (biology and history). However, we did come up against a more fierce tribe (geometry) that nearly scalped some of us. This particular tribe was led by Big Chief Wild B 11 Bennett. Just the same we all survived anci now the Chief is our friend. About the last of May we camped again, and there we rested another summer. Again in September we began the third leg of our trip. Eight members of our gallant little band were immediately stricken by a deathly plague (advanced algebra and sol d geometry). This, and its sister disease (English III) were brought into our ranks by the “Goddess of Misery” (Ridgley). Ot'.-.er tribes of hostile Indians were also encountered (bookkeeping, civics, and economics). These were led by the Chief of Chieftains, (J. H. Dunscomb). As before our sturdy band suppressed the attacks and we now are rolling peacefully along, looking forward to the annual vacation. Most of us too, I think, are looking forward to the fourth and last leg of our hard but enjoyable journey.

H.S. to begin their high school education. We had more pupils than any other class. We recovered from our shyness when we were initiated by the upper classmen. A few weeks after that we had a kid party at which we represented Mother Goose or some other comic character. W'th the help of Miss Ridgley, our class advisor, we got through our first year of study successfully. At the beginning of this year, forty-six pupils came to W. C. H. S. to start in their sophomore year. Several pupils had moved away during vacation and others had come to join us. We are still the largest class n school and we also h.ave more pupils in the band than any other class. We were very proud to have our candidate, Mary Maxine Bence, elected queen of W. C. H. S. for 1940. On October 20, 1939, the sophomore class had a wiener roast at Gene Glasscock's grandparents' at which every one had a n;ce t;me. We had a party at the school building on Friday night, April 5, 1940. Our officers are: President .................................. Junior Ethridge Vice President .............................. Emma J. Elliott Secretary and Treasurer ................... Pauline Edwkrds Historian ............................... Lois Jean Bartley Class Advisor ................................. Mr. Turner FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY On Septemberl, 1939, a group of young people gathered at the W. C. H. .S building for the purpose of forming a company to start on an expedition into the jungle of education. These youngsters had been eight years at various grade stations preparing for this trip. Most of them came from W G. S. or near by stat;ons. Some had come quite a distance. These were Warren Specht from Lakewood, Floyd Hardwick from Indiana, Duncan Ruble from Nebraska, and later Helen Green from Tennessee. There vere thirty-six altogether. After electing Miss Midgett Captain, Don Horn, Lieutenant, Norma J. Banks, Secretary and Treasurer, and Leland Davis, Assistant Lieutenant, we were ready to start. Although many feet had traveled these same paths, all were new to us. Nevertheless we were anxious to start. We all feared, more or less, the things ahead of us, but we had a helpful body of instructors to lend a hand when needed. We had gone but a short way when we were called to halt by the companies, who had started one, two, or three years ahead of us. They wished to test our abilities before accepting us on such a great expedition. We proved to be capable and were accepted. Daily we came in contact with such obstacles as text books and tests, which we overcame. Our greatest struggle was just after the Christmas Holidays when we came face to face with semester examinations. However, with assistance from our excellent instructors we conquered and marched gayly on. After a few weeks we were joined by Tommy Curry from Gays and Dale Tull from Green Valley. Before we had gone far in the second semester, Billy Tilford and Novie Waddell were forced to drop from our ranks because of moving to other fields. They were sadly missed. When we started it seemed an endless journey. Although several months have passed and we near the end of our first milestone, it seems that we have been on the ioad only a short time. We have enjoyed most of our adventures. We shall always remember our Freshmen year in W. C. H. S. as one of our happiest memories. Class Historian, Nadine Steele.

A first and second team were selected according to ability. The first team consisted of Wallace, Shafer, Butcher, Hampton, and Noffkc. On the second team were Webb, Jones, Hamilton, Turner, and Baker. The boys left to substitute for the second team were Kasey, Anderson, Soland, Walden, R. Bell. Carter, Noffke, Munson, A. Bell, Rentfrow, and Davis. With a line up like this one we were bonud to succeed. During the season Wallace missed two games and Hampton five. The boys spent many hours practicing after school and during Christmas vacation. They took in games at neighboring towns when they were not playing. In fact they lived, ate, and slept basket ball When the season ended they were rewarded by many nice banquets, shows and dances. The boys succeeded in winning five trophies. When the last game of the year was played no one could ask for any more. This season will be remembered and talked about for years to come. Individual Scores F. G. F. T.

Op- ponents’ total points—921—an average of 27 points per game. Seasonal Records The seasonal record for ’39 and ’40 was the best in years. Our boys succeeded in winning thirty games and losing only four. Two of the games lost were to Shelbyville, one to Sullivan and one to Paris. The individual scoring this year was good with Elmer Verne Wallace leading with 396 points, Harold Noffke held a close second with 391 points. The following are the individual scores of the remaining four, Raymond Butcher 224, Delmar Shafer 174, Joe Hampton 140 and Lucien Webb 42. • Wallace and Noffke had the same number of field goals, the difference being at the free throw line. Butcher and Shafer also had the same number of field goals. “Curry’s Team Breaks All School Record” “The Team” Curry produced one of the most outstanding teams Windsor has ever had. They went farther in tournaments than any team in W. C. H. S.’s history. We are very proud of our coach and what he has done for our boys. He deserves much praise and credit. Elmer Wallace In “Tuggle” we see one of the most outstanding players of the season. His remarkable ball handling and fast footwork gained many baskets and much praise from fans, visiting ball teams and coaches. We are very fortunate in having him back next year. Delmar Shafer That all around guard from Gays commonly called “Shaf” held many a fast team and prevented them from scoring. He was the coolest headed player on the team. We were fortunate in having him, and his left handed ball handling was quite an asset. He will not be back next year. WCHS 1940 m Twenty-five •— POW WOW- • Raymond Butcher Raymond, a Senior, commonly called “Butch,” was always on hand when it came to rebounding. His size helped him and he helped the team by his all around playing. Joe Hampton Joe, a Senior, played a clear cut game. His ability to hit the basket from the middle of the free throw ling was dreaded by opponents. We needed Joe to make the taem complete. Harold Noffke That tall Noffke boy playing under the basket was a sure sign of a Windsor victory. His height enabled him to grab the ball and score. Without Harold under the basket our record might have been quite different. He is also a Senior. Webb and Jones That inseparable pair of all around players were found taking the knocks together on the second team. They were always ready to fill in, in case of a vacancy on the first team. Both are Seniors and are to be praised for their success. Howard Hamilton That all around Sophomore boy showed many times his ability to come through in a tight place. He is coming back next year and we know his all around playing will be quite useful. Turner and Baker Two other second team men whom w e couldn’t have got along without are to be praised for their success in making the second team a go. Harold will return next year and Jim, who is a Senior, will be remembered as one of Windsor’s ’39 and ’40 basketball boys. Manager Baugher Where ever the team went or what ever was planned you would always see ‘Pappy” Baugher on the job. Margie and Emma Regardless of hov.- perfect the boys were playing, the game didn’t seem complete without Margie and Emma leading yells for all they were worth.

Scheduled Games Windsor 60—Lerna 15 Windsor met Lerna the opening night with rumors floating around that they really had something. Windsor 39—Stweardson 27 Wallace led the scoring that defeated Stewardson our first game with them, making it our second win of the season. They were easy opponents in the lirst half but in the second half proved more difficult. Windsor 37—Moweaqua 16 We played on an out of town floor for the first time. This seemed to make no difference with our scoring ability. We easily won by 21 points. Many personal fouls were made during the game. Windsor 74—Gays 15 Playing on the Gays floor and playing our second team much of the time, we emerged easy victors. WCHS 1940 • Twenty-six C UUaUacc c JP. Curry jj.

Windsor 78—Cowden 33 Another one of our large scores for the season was made in the game against Cowden.

Moultrie County Tournament We entered the Moultrie County Tournament with high hopes of taking both Class A and Class B trophies. We played Arthur the first game and succeeded in reaching first base. Our second team took Lovington that first night and we were off to a good start. The second n’ght we went back to Bethany to meet Sullivan. There our first team failed to come through but our second team again won, defeating Arthur. That put our first team out but the third night we returned to see our second team boys take Gays and thus win the Class B trophy. Ham Hamilton displayed outstanding ability in the game against Gays, scoring 29 points alone. Shelby County Touurnament Our boys entered the Shelby County Tournament determined to win after failing to make a showing in the Moultrie County Tournament. The first two games with Findlay and Stewardson went by with nice margins. We entered the last lap of the lace and who would our opponents be but that dreaded team of Shelbyville. Earlier in the season we were defeated twiee by them and now we were detrmined not to let it happen again. And did it! Well I should say not. With every man doing his level best we capture'1 the first place trophy, making Windsor Shelby County Champs—a name well earned. Regional We journeyed to Effingham to meet Stewardson in the first game of the regional. We defeated them making it our fourth victory over them. Our second game we entered agamst Toledo, winner of the Toledo-Greenup game. Victory was ours again. The last n ght we returned determined to take home the Regional trophy. This time our opponent was Teutopolis. The game was a f:ght from start to finish but when the last whistle was blown our score stood one point in the lead. We had won the Regional. The first time in the history of W. C. H. S. basketball. Sectional If our boys could win the sectional we were on our way to the state. We were now in competition with stronger teams and very determined to stay on top. Our first opponent was Tuscola—with a score of 51 to 44 we had succeeded in defeating them. Our next foe was Shelby ville. We just had to win thrt game. Remembering two previous defeats by them and then our victory in the Shelby County Tournament sentiment was running high. Well to make a long story short we emerged the victors with a score of 41 to 36. Now remained one team between us and the state. We played Paris a hard, fast game. Leading in the first quarter, half, and third quarter. We just happened to be one point behind when the gun sounded. Our team went farther this year in tournaments than any previous team from Windsor. We’re certainly proud of our boys and their record. Softball Team ’39-’40 Pitcher—Harold Noffke. Catchers—Lucien Webb, Charles Sumner. Other Team Members—Shafer, Wallace, Hamilton, Munson, Carter, D. Noffke, Anderson, Kasey, Butcher, H. Bullerman, Turner, Soland. WCHS 1940== Thirty • —PQW WOW— • SPEECH The speech contestants have enjoyed their year with Miss Midgett and owe their success to her splendid coaching. This has been one of the most successful years in the history of our speech department. Rosemary Edwards placed first for the second successive year in the Moultrie County meet, first in the sub-district, and first in B division (tVird of all contestants) in the District contest at Charleston, thereby enabling her to go to the state contest at Champaign, April 26th. She is the only one ever to go to the state from Windsor. The selection used was “Mary of Scotland,” a dramatic reading. Audrey Anderson was very successful this year, winning first in the county ora-torial contest and first in the sub-district. This enabled her to present her selection at the district meet at Charleston, but did not place. She presented “If We Break Faith,” by Evelyn Mara. Wanda June Swinford entered the Moultrie County meet at Arthur but did not participate in the state contests. SHORTHAND The shorthand class this year consists of only three members. Dorothy Juhnke and Laurnette May entered the Contest at Charleston. Miss Allen is the instructor. TYPING The typing class has produced several typists of whom Miss Allen is proud. Dorothy Herron placed 3rd in the district meet at Charleston and the typing team, composed of Dorothy Herron, Rosemary Edwards, and Kathleen Richardson, also placed 3rd. BAND Building a band was the chief interest of Director C. E. Turner. By working industriously and in fellowship he succeeded in bringing t:gether forty-eight members. With these members as the foundation he added instrumental technique. The band is rapidly progressing in its third year of existence. Every spring it enters the Band Contest in compet.tion with other bands of this district. The band played at our basket ball games and helped to cheer our boys on to victory. The band members were presented their letter at the beginning of the term for perfect attendance during the summer months. The band was very happy to present the trophy to the school which they received at the Stete Fair last summer. This made them the second consecutive champion. Two of the members, Eileen Kereheval and Frances Douth't, were selected to attend a mass band of one hundred and twenty p:eces at Peoria. While they were at Peoria, Mr. Turner met a young man, who was later to join our band. This young was no other than Charles Sumner, our bass player. The band presented a very interesting W. H. S. Show, February 20 and 21. They cleared one hundred twenty-one dollars and eighty two cents. The last night of the show, the queen of the school Mary Maxine Bence was crowned. The band is very proud of their solo contestants. The first contest, at Monticello,: six of our contestants out of eight came back with first place. Frances Ethridge—Baritone. Marjorie Slater—Alto Clarinet. Charles Sumner—Bass Frances Douthit—Piano—Flute. Virginia Sue Liston—Piccolo. T WPIJg 1940 i Thirty-one • POW WOW---- • Harold Leeds—Second Comet.

They have made new friends with the girls’ parents and enjoyed being entertained by them. A cook’e sale was held up town on May 2. The money went to pay for the girls Home Ec. pins. Last Christmas the girls prepared a very nice box and presented it to a needy family. I am sure it was appreciated very much. In January the Home Ec. class served refreshments for the School Masters banquet, and the American Legion meeting. March also proved to be a busy month. They served the Future Farmers and the Community Basketball banquet. April 6, the Windsor Home Ec. class were Hostess to the District Home Making Festival. Five hundred girls were present. The Christian and Methodist Churches served one hundred-thirty girls each, and the remainder was served at Ash Grove. In the afternoon there was a style show. The costumes were all from “Youngs” in Mat-toon. After the show the various girls presented stunts. The Grand March was the last event of the day. All the girls were in the Grand March then took their partners and then dancing continued until the girls adjourned to their homes. Vera Shewmake was elected Vice-President of the District 2, Home Making Festival. March 27, the girls had a leap year party. The girls all invited their boy friends and then escorted them to the party. After the party the girls treated the Doys and then took them home. The class is preparing a Mother and Daughter banquet to be held during April. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club has been active throughout the school term. There have been about fifteen active members.

WCHS 1940 Forty-seven —POW WOW= SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Twenty Years Hence As I rounded the curve in my 1960 sport model coupe I crashed into one of my former W. C. H. S. classmates. I discovered to my astonishment that it was the former Frances Ethridge now Queen of Holliday. To our amazement we discovered we had crashed by that dear old high school of 1940. We talked of the good old days and 1 told her I had completed my education and was now doing demonstration work for a Chicago cooking school. She told me she was happily married and ruling with an iron hand the city of Holliday. Because our cars were badly damaged we decided to spend the rest of the day and night in Windsor. We occupied ourselves in the afternoon by visiting high school. To our delight we found Kenneth Anderson teaching geometry and French, and Audrey Tull doing a capable job teaching English. We also discovered that they were very engrossed in each other. It looked like a match. It brought back memories of the days when our geometry and English teachers had their romance. Bidding good-by to the dear old school house we decided to visit the oil field. As we went through the estate of the wealthy Eugene Baugher to reach his oil field, obtained by marrying Merle Anderson, we found Orville Antrim in charge. Orville was happily married and truly grateful for the job Eugene had given him. After renewing our acquaintances with Eugene and Orville we decided to go shopping. We stopped at Webb’s drug store formerly Shafer’s Drug Store to find Lucien and Virginia engaged in a free for all. Virginia’s nursing career had ended with her marriage to Lucien. A little Webb was running around bothering the customers. We enjoyed a few minutes there. Going down the street we spied some nice apples in the grocery window. Frances declaring that was what she wanted we went in to find a handsome blond proprietor. It was John Kline the former heart throb of our younger days. Talking to him we found he was engaged to Marjorie Goddard now a beauty operator in Mattoon. They are to be married in earlv spring. Frances liked apples, so we decided to go to the farm of Walter and Louise Tilford to buy more apples for canning purposes. Going to the garage to hire a car who should we find but Ralph Kasey another one of our former classmates. Ralph told us he had just sold Charles Sumner and his wife the former Rosemary Edwards a new car. Charles is leading a symphony orchestra in Detroit, Michigan, and Rosemary is teaching her twins the art of giving dramatic readings. They were home on a visit but we just missed seeing them. Thanking Ralph for the car we started after Frances’ apples. On the way to the Tilford farm we passed a lovely little farm home and on the mail box was the name James Turner. We just had to stop to see if it was our friend Jim. Sure enough, and what did we find Jim doing—well, he was listem'ng in on the country telephone catching up on the late gossip. As we left, Frances remarked how funny it was that people never changed—that used to be Jim’s favorite past time. Resuming our ride we came to the little town of Gays. Going down the main street to see how the little town looked we went by a carpenter’s shop. On the shingle hanging out in front of the door was the name Delmar Shafer. We stopped to see our former basket ball hero. We got out and went in and to our astonishment the former Dorothy Juhnke now Mrs. Shafer came walking out. She told us Delmar was out working and that they were very happy in their home in Gays. We talked a little while and then went or our way. We reached Tilford’s, saw Walter and Louise, bought our apples, and decided to take a different route home. On the way back to town we came upon a chicken farm tun by Bob Jones and his third wife the former Viola McVay. We were tickled to see our old classmates and their off springs. Taking leave we came to the outskirts of Windsor. • WCHS 1940 -------- Forty-eight :POW WOW ■ Taking a bird's eye view of the city we spied John Smith's name on the elevator. Asking later about his name being there we found that he now owned and ran the elevator for his farmer friends. We found a new building in Windsor since Windsor had grown so much that it needed an orphans' home. Asking who ran it we found that it was run by three old maids, Aileen Carter, Katherine Gaston, and Maxine Templeton. The three love children and therefore make fine mothers for the orphaned babies. Before taking the car back we stopped at a filling station to have the gas tank refilled. We found Paul Morrison running it. We asked Paul how Naomi was and he replied, “Just fine, growing prettier every day and you should see the kids.” Wishing Paul good luck we went back to the main street. Hearing a newspaper boy crying his papers we bought one. We were surprised to see Mary Ramsey's name at the top as assistant editor and were we astonished to see the headline—RAYMOND BUTCHER—MILLION DOLLAR PLAY BOY WINS POLO CHAMPIONSHIP—gleaming out at us. We always knew Raymond would go places. Frances asked if I would go with’ her to the Insurance office as she wanted to take out more insurance. I said all right we would go there and then eat supper afterwards. Going to the Insurance office we found Marjorie Lovins as the head stenographer. Catherine Hughes, now married, was taking out fire insurance to protect her home. Talking to Marjorie about our school days, she said she had just heard that Thelma King, who was now Mrs. Freeman, was giving a tea dance in honor of her daughter's birthday. Frances completed her business, so we bid good-by to Marjorie and went out to a Ritz cafe. We found that Harold Noffke was running it and that Barbara Jones was his wife. They had a lovely cafe and were making quite a success in the ever growing Windsor. Who do you suppose was furnishing entertainment? Remember how Dorothy Herron used to entertain us at school? She was now working in Harold’s cafe and leceiving good pay for it. While we were eating dinner who should walk in bub our school friend Joe Hampton and his wife, another one of our friends, Kathleen Richardson. Joe is now a great doctor and is quite successful in his social position. After spending a very enjoyable evening we decided to hunt up a rooming house. We were tcld that Betty Storm ran a fashionable rooming house on Pennsylvania Avenue. We obtained a nice room and found to our delight a television radio. Switching it on who should come to our vision but our old pal Laurie May. She was at her best telling joke and entertaining her radio audience. We had either seen or heard about all our senior friends, just think what pleasure one little accident brought to us. The next morning we awoke, took our cars and headed in different directions knowing deep in our hearts that such pleasures come only once in twenty years.
