WCHS 1942 4. c L A S S E S c L A S s E S pow-wow r Senior Class h|istory On September third in the year ninteen hundred and thirty eight a group of very nervous and anxious boys and girls started on a long aeroplane trip over Fresh-land. Our crew consisted of Gene Glasscock as pilot, Isaac Walden, co-pilot, Irene Ashbrook in charge of the records, Howard Hamilton in charge of finances, Mary Maxine Bence in charge of the “ship’s log” and Miss Ridgley as stewardess. In a few days we landed for the all school party, which was really our initiation, but we survived and were soon on the “beam again.” It was not long before we encountered some “soupy” weather which proved to consist of Algebra, Latin, History, Agriculture, Geography and English. However these were not so difficult as we had thought and we fared our trip very well. In 1939, just a year later we again took up the pursuit of education as a group of forty-six with Mr. Turner as our advisor. The rest of bur officers were President, Junior Ethridge, Vice President, Emma J. Elliott, Secretary and Treasurer, Pauline Edwards and Historian, Lois Jean Bartley. Several of our students had moved away and others had come to join us. We were still the largest class in school and had more members in the Band than any other class. We were very proud that year to have our candidate, Mary Maxine Bence, elected for school queen. The next year at the same time we started on the third lap of our journey, aboard the clipper “Junior.” “Wild Bill From Science Hill” Bennett was our overseer with aviatrix Lois Jean Bartley as pilot, Irene Ashbrook co-pilot, Gene Glasscock in charge of reports on finances and Eileen Kercheval as the recorder of events. That year several students entered the district solo contest at Matoon. We put on a play that year entitled “Everybody’s Getting Married.” We all enjoyed presenting it with the help of our capable director Miss Midgett. The cast consisted of as follows: Gene Glasscock, Ross Bell, Pauline Edwards, Eugene Hughes, Eugene Ryherd, Lois Jean Bartley, Rose Marie Edwards, Margaret Ferguson, Maxine Lofland, Helen Spencer, Marjorie Butcher, William Antrim, William Edward Peadro and Warren Trigg. That spring we all enjoyed giving the Seniors a banquet at the Hotel U. S. Grant in Mattoon. We were very sorry to lose one of our classmates and vice president, Irene Ashbrook, that spring. She moved to Stewardson. In the year of ninteen hundred and forty one on September the third we embarked on the “Senior” Clipper to again take up the journey of education. We chose as our instructor and advisor Mr. Curry our basketball coach. The rest of our crew consisted of Eugene Ryherd, pilot, Harold Minor, co-pilot, Maxine Lofland in charge of finances and Gene Glasscock as “keeper of the lay.” Mr. Hall was chosen as Pow Wow advisor and Miss Ridgley as play advisor. We all sensed much excitement with the arrival of our pictures and rings. We were all saddened at the departure of several of our teachers this year but are glad that they are helping Uncle Sam. Mr. Hamer is in the Marines and Mr. Stark at Rantoul, Illinois, as civilian instructor in science. We are now looking eagerly toward the approaching opportunity of proving what we have learned but are saddened by the thoughts of leaving our friends. —Gene Glasscock, Historian WCHS = 1942 l OW-WOWfr — The Seniors of 1941-42 “The World was all before them where to choose.” NELLIE ADKINS “Merry as a marriage bell.” KATHLEEN ALLGOOD, “Kate” “Like—but oh! how different!” G.

S. to begin their high school education. The upper classmen gave us a hearty welcome by initiating us at an ‘‘All School Party.” Our captain was Miss Midgett and our class officers were as follows: President, Don Horn; Vice-President, Leland Davis; Secretary and Treasurer, Norma Jean Banks, and Historian, Nadene Steele. Our next expedition began in September, 1940, with thirty-eight members. Our captain this year was Miss Allen. The officers were: President, Mary Annetta Neal; Vice-President, Leland Davis; Secretary and Treasurer, Floyd Hardwick, and Historian, Elaine Bullerman. We had several class parties this year and Miss Midgett organized the Dramatics Club. Nadene Steele, Mary Annetta Neal and Norma Jear. Garrett were selected to give a short play. Several students entered the solo and ensemble contest at Mattoon. Our Biology class went to St. Louis to visit the Zoo end Park where we had a very nice time. At about the same time the previous fall we started our third year of education with thirty-six members. Mr. Stark was chosen our captain this year. On his leaving us we chose Mr. Fleming. Our President is Jim Thompson; Vice-President, Bob Storm: Secretary and Treasurer, Gloria Anderson and Historian, Norma Jean Garrett. We gave our Junior Class Play, “Bringin’ Home The Bacon,” with Miss Midgett as our director. Three of our Junior boys are on the varsity squad: Jimmie Carter, Don Horn and Donald Noffke. This spring we will entertain the seniors with the Junior and Senior Banquet. Now that our third year is almost completed, we are looking forward to our last year and the ending of our good times in ‘‘Good Old W. C. II.

Gloria F. Walker ‘‘Bringin’ Home The Bacon” Myron Meadows, a widower, owner of a small town newspaper, lives on the edge of town with his three daughters, Priscilla, Marigold and Carlotta. A fourth daughter, Poppy, is in New York. The circulation of Myron’s newspaper has fallen off and he is hard pressed to make both ends meet. Carlotta hopes to marry wealthy Dexter Gunther, but Poppy conies home and Dexter transfer his affections to her. Steve Stoneham, the son of Myron’s oldest friend, drops in and calmly announces that he intends to make his home with the Meadows’ family. His father had died and he has no other place to go. It is expected that Steve will go to work but much to every- 1942 WCHS POW-WOWf ' body’s disgust he spends all his time listening to the radio, trying vainly to win various cash prizes. That is his idea of a career, “Humph!” snorts the Widder Sping, an old friend of the Meadows family, “That Steve Stoneham will never bring home the bacon, not even if he is egged into doin’ it!” The four sisters try to straighten out their various romances. Myron Meadows meets with an accident. Steve consents to run Myron’s newspaper, and brings home the bacon, to everybody’s amazement, and the four sisters get their affairs ironed out.

WCHS = ■ 1942 POW-WOW T' Freshman Class History The first week of September 11)41, fifty green freshmen started their journey through four years of work and play at the W. C. H. S. There were only three persons who discontinued school. We regret losing them because we had the largest class of freshmen ever enrolled in this school. The first week of school was rather difficult because few of us knew when or where we had our classes. Miss Allen was in charge of our initiation. I think we rather surprised the sophomores by performing our various tasks so well. In October we held our first class meeting to select our class advisor, Miss Allen. She was chosen with a unanimous vote. Later our advisor called a meeting to elect our class officers who are: Mac Sexson, president; Evelyn Tull, Vice-President; and Bill Ramsey as Secretary and Treasurer. The freshmen class party was held November 28. Nearly all of the freshmen were present to enjoy the games prepared by Miss Allen. Hot chocolate and candy bars were served as refreshments. The basketball games were a thing of interest to most of the freshmen and a new experience to several because they had never seen a game before. The freshmen boys who made the team were: Van Anderson and Howard Vandevanter. We are very proud of them. The freshmen who represent our class in the band are as follows: Van Anderson. Betty Antrim, Fern Buckley, Dorothy Clapper, Rosalie Conley, Norma Jean Lar-rew, Ruth Maxedon, Patsy Kennedy, Betty Rankin, Mac Sexson, Mary Storm and John Yunker. We are all trying to bring our grades up a little higher and increase the number of freshmen who make the honor roll. We hope we will all be sophomores next year. —Ludwell Storm, Historian Sophomore Class History On September 8, 1940, a hearty group of twenty-five braves and twenty-one maidens met at tepee W. C. H. S. to engage in the hunt of knowledge and companionships. The guide chosen for the hunt was Arthur Johnson, who did a very good job. During the hunt two braves, Raymond Warner and Dwain Hawkins, were added to our tribe. We met many ferocious obstacles: Algebra, Science and English, but we overcame these without much difficulty. After we had conquered the troubles of the I reshmen Hunt we were ready for Hunt Sophomore. We gathered at W. C. H. S. on September 1, 1941, for our Sophomore Hunt. The guide chosen for this hunt was “Big Chief Bennett.” He did a very fine job guiding us on this trip. WCHS 1942 POW-WOW The leaders chosen by the tribe were: Gerald Shew, President; 11a Rincker, Vice-President. Virginia Kercheval, Secretary and Treasurer, and Robert Slifer, Historian. There were twenty-three braves and twenty-two maidens to start on the Hunt Sophomore. We had the misfortune of losing one brave, Richard Quigley, and two maidens, Vada Mac Tull and Thelma Shriver. We were fortunate enough, however, to get two maidens, Mae Lee Kays and Doris Schlechte, from neighboring tribes. On December 15, a “Pow-Wow” was held at our W. C. H. S. Tepee. Games were played and delicious refreshments were served. The game committee was Dorothy Calvin, Johnny Rose, and Charles Fugate. The refreshment committee was Wanda Latch, Jacque Morford, and Maurine Krile. They all did a very splendid job. —Robert Slifer, Historian SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row—Floyd Buckalew, Forest Worley, Bill Spencer, Everett Griffin, Charles Fugate, Gerald Shew, Doris Schlechte, Dallas Peadro, Mr. Bennett.

Shelbyyville was the Shelby County Champions this year again. But maybe luck will be with us next year. MARCH 4-5-6 The Regional Tournament was held at Effingham again this year. We played our first game with Stewardson and won by a score of 35 to 23. Our next game was played with Neoga and we won by a score of 41 to 30. This put us up for the championship but we lost it to Effingham by a score of 37 to 32. Now we go to Casey for the sectional. WCHS= -1942 S i £ « • «ar •■• fcSSy « ,J2?! -P Oi £ 0? oB i POW-WOW The Sectional Tournament was held at Casey, Illinois. We drew Shelbyville. This is the fourth time they have beaten us this year. They won by a score of 53 to 41. Our basketball team was pretty lucky this year. We won several games. The weather was good for most of the games. HOWARD (HAM) HAMILTON Ham was high point man for the year. He really did some swell playing Also he was right in there to get the rebounds. All of Howard’s shots were with on hand. Very few of his free throw's were missed. He was almost 100 per cent. JIMMY (PUCHI) CARTER Puchi was one of our defensive men. Also he brought us out on top quite a few times with his long shots from the center of the floor. He was also a good rebound man. DONALD (KNOT-HOLE) NOFFKE Knot-Hole was a forward. He had a funny way of shooting. He put a little kick in his shots. They were all one handed shots. DONALD (SUNSHINE) HALL Sunshine moved here from Gays. He was a guard on the team. He shot both ways, some with one hand, some with two. Sunshine always made some points in all games he played. CHARLES (BIG-HORSE) FUGATE Big-Horse was Jump Center on the team. Although he didn’t shoot much he did some sw'ell rebounding and good work so the others could shoot. DON (BERT) HORN During the first part of the season Bert wasn’t as good a player as at the last, lie was in there trying and really doing some playing the last part of the season. He always managed to get himself some points too. HAROLD(BAKE)BAKER Bake was also a student from Gays. He was a good rebounder. He went to school here during his freshman year and then he moved to Gays but he was back ibis year. He also always managed some points for himself. RUSSELL (JOHNNY) ROSE Johnny was the smallest man on the team, but he was a good defensive man. Although he made a few fouls for himself, he always managed several points. LELAND (PEWEE) DAVIS PeWee was our manager for the year and he was always on the job when needed. PeWee is the happy-go-lucky kind. Anythirg that is done is all right with him. COACH CURRY This year added another successful year to Curry’s record. His team this year went as far as the one last year but didn’t win as many games. All of us are proud of Curry and of our team. He always manages to make a good team. We hope him more success next year. WCHS pow-wow r Begeman—Why diu you join the salvation army? Junior F.—So I could play my horn in public.

WCHS 1942 m pow-wow r HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The? Home Economics club this year had thirty-two members. Meetings were held the fourth Monday night of each month at the homes of various girls. The girls entertained the F. F. A. members at a wiener roast at the home of Eileen and Virginia Kercheval one night last fall. One evening the meeting was spent in sewing for the Red Cross. At Christmas time the club made candy and sent a box of it to a needy family. The officers are: President Eileen Kercheval; Secretary-Treasurer, Rose Marie Edwards. G. G. A. The Glamour Girls Association was organized by Miss Allen. They started the year with a hike and a wiener roast. During the year they had a Christmas party at the home of Deanne Lovins, after which they went about singing Christmas Carols to shutins. They practiced basketball in the gymnasium one night. One evening they went to Sullivan to the skating rink. An enjoyable year was spent by all. F. F. A. At the first of the year the Future Farmers elected their officers who are: President, Howard Stuckemeyer; Vice President, Eldon Turner; Secretary-Treasurer, Paul Davis; Reporter, Ross Bell. They have had several meetings throughout the year. The first of these was for both the parents and sons and Mr. Fleming explained some of his plans for the r. F. A. in the year 1941-1942. These fellows gave a gilt to Paul Davis, who is an outstanding member of the F. F. A. He will give two pigs of the gilt to the F. F. A. If you wondered what that building was beside the school it may be surprising to you to hear that the Agriculture class built a chicken house there. Then they had an egg laying oentest and the winner was Thomas Gaston’s hen. The boys attended a judging contest at Assumption where they won more prize money than they had ever won. They also went to the International Live Stock Show in December. A pest control contest was held during the year. Basketball games played by the Agrilculture boys: Played Shelbyville two games. Lost one and won one. Played Lakewood two games. Lost both of them. Played Neoga one game, and won. Played Alumni one game, and we lost. Played Manual Arts one game, and we were the winners.

Since then the present grade school, which served also as a high school, has been constructed, and last but not least—our present high school, of which we all are very proud. Windsor became a community high school in 1921. That year there was an enrollment of one hundred twenty-three. It has had its ups and downs in enrollment and at the present we have one hundred seventy-six students. At that time there were five teachers and the principal. Now, the faculty consists of eleven members, four of whom were once pupils in Windsor High School, namely, W. G. Bennett. J. R. Curry, Ray R. Hall, and J. H. Dunscomb. Mr. J. A. Alexander was principal at the time Windsor became a Community High School. He was succeeded in 1929 by J. H. Dunscomb, who still retains that position. The first annual was published by the Senior Class in 1922 and was named the Pow-Wow. On May 9, 1936, the cornerstone to our present school building was laid. It was started in the early winter of 1935 and finished in September the following year. School was delayed about three weeks that fall, but the improvements were worth the delay. The increase in size, especially the gymnasium, enables the school to be host, to a greater number of social functions. Windsor, along with other schools, has improved considerably in the last twenty years. Several new courses including home economics, manual arts, bookkeeping, typing, shorthand, band and chemistry have been added. Chemistry was added just this year. Band was started in 1937 with C. F. Turner as instructor and with a membership of about thirty-five. There are now about fifty members. This history is a tribute to our High School and will be added to as our school proceeds on its educational path into the futuie. —Eileen Kercheval ICE CREAM OR NO ICE CREAM! The school ‘party is all over and gone. I suppose in time it will be forgotten. Folks forget the Revolutionary War and they forgot the Civil War and everybody became friends again. And I suppose in time it will be the same way with the school party. All I have to say about the matter is this: “the next time they have a party they can get somebody else besides me to watch the ice cream. I didn’t eat those two gallons of ice cream, and I don’t care who blames me.” You see it was this way. At seven o'clock the night of the party I was put down in the basement to watch the ice cream until the teacher came. After that, she as going to watch the ice cream. I took a peek into one can. That was full of vanilla ice cream. Then looking into the other two cans I found that they were chocolate and strawberry. My favorite ice cream. Soon John Harver came down to the basement. “Watching the ice cream?” says he. I said, “yes.” “Will you run across the street and see if Bill is there. If he is, tell him I’ll meet him at the corner in two minutes.” I told him I would. He wasn’t at the drug store or no where to be found. Then I came back. “He wasn’t there,” I told John. “0. K.” said John, “I’ll go out and see if I can find him. Thanks a lot, Shorty.” A few minutes later Jim Rendell and Tim Brown, captains of the basketball WCHS-------------------- 1942 POW-WOW : and baseball teams, respectively, came in asking me to do the same thing that John had asked. I did as they had requested. About seven the teacher came in. “What kind of ice cream is there?” she asked me. “White, pink and brown,” I told her. She told me to open the cans. Then I gasped. They were completely empty. “Why, how dare you!” shrieked Miss Morley. “You’ve eaten all the ice cream.” “I didn’t!” I shouted. Then the teachers and their friends as well as mine began to come into the basement until it was jammed with people. “Wait!” somebody shouted. “Let Shorty talk. Shorty, has anyone been in this basement except yourself?” I swallowed four times. Then I answered. “No,” I said. “Then that settles it,” said my teacher. “He ate the ice cream.” All evening people fought about it. As I said, folks forgot the Revolution and Civil War and became friends. And maybe in the future the folks here will be speaking again. There’s just one more thing to say. The next day I was made captain of the tootbali, basketball and baseball teams. So, am 1 sitting pretty? Indeed, 1 am! Ice cream or no ice cream! —Luzetta Gaston A MERRY CHRISTMAS It was Christmas Day and Muriel, with her mother and father, was starting to Grandmother Drew’s for dinner. Muriel’s mouth watered as she thought of the turkey and trimmings and all the good things which she always had at grandmother’s Being a child, she looked forward to the mysterious looking packages assembled around grandmother’s tree. In fact, she could hardly wait. Their new car—a Christmas present to the family—seemed so luxurious and different that Muriel felt she would burst with excitement. There had been a heavy snow the night before and it had drifted badly in several places. They hadn’t gone far when they came to a drift across the road. It would take hours to shovel the snow out of the way, besides there might be other diifts, so there was nothing to do but turn back. Muriel was the only child and a little spoiled. She was very pouty over the event of the day. Her mother tried to console her by getting her to play with her toys, but to no avail. Since they were going to be home for the rest of the day, Mrs. Drew took the liberty of inviting a poor family, who lived across the field, in for supper. This made Muriel worse than ever. She didn’t like those children. They wore such old clothes and only had dry bread and milk in their lunches. When the Wright family came Mrs. Drew told Muriel to entertain the children. She, very sulkily, obeyed by ushering them to the parlor, where the lighted tree and toys were just as she had left them earlier in the evening. She was amazed at the shining faces and sparkling eyes as they spied the beautifully trimmed tree and numerous toys. As she read fairy tales and taught them Christmas carols, the feeling of dislike and sulkiness began to wear off. She learned very unexpectedly from one of the children, that they had received no toys for Christmas. Very willingly she gave each child a toy and to all of them a big box of candy. After the family had gone and she was upstairs getting ready for bed, her mother stepped in to tell her good-night. “Did you have a nice time this Evening?” she said. Muriel answered joyfully, “Mother, this has been the happiest Christmas I’ve ever known!” —Eileen Kercheval WCHS= 1942 POW-WOW Calendar NOVEMBER 24. I he Pow-Wow Staff was selected today.

I then noticed that my fuel tank was almost empty so I landed to refuel. As my plane rolled to a stop, who should come to take care of it but Donald Rankin, an old school mate of mine. I was much more surprised though to learn that this was Windsor, Illinois—what had twenty years before been the small town where I had graduated from its Community High School. Donald told me that Gene Bullerman was at the head of the “Bullerman Airplane Factory ’ and he himself was the chief mechanic. After explaining my presence there he told me I had better remain here for the next day since it was the Annual Harvest Picnic and it would be a wonderful chance to see and hear about my old school mates. Donald gave me the address of the best hotel and the address of the “Run-Around” cafeteria in the East Windsor. I got in a taxi and after a few minutes through some heavy traffic I reached the cafeteria. After I had eaten I went to pay my check and found Esther Ramsey was the cashier. She told me that the forme? Kathleen Algood and Edith Antrim were the proprietors. When I asked her about their trade she said that their strongest competition was “Templeton’s Temple of Tempting Tastie Tamales” which Kenneth Templeton operated on the southern outskirts of this fair city. Departing, I took another taxi and went the the hotel. As I approached the escalator I noticed May Camic coming in my direction. She recognized me and we had a nice talk while she escorted me around the hotel. She and Isaac were married and he was the proprietor and she the main hostess. She told me that Pauline Templeton was the Home Economics professor at the New University. Margaret Ferguson was one of the commercial professors there also. Luzetta Gaston after a number of years at the at the University of Windsor received her degree and is expecting her “minister” friend from St. Louis. While mentioning school teachers she said that Mildred (Gaddis) Green was teaching at Red Fox school. May noticed my drowsiness and said I must get some sleep as the next day would be a busy one. The next morning as I walked down the Avenue I met. Maxine Lofland. She is now the society editor of the “Windsor Times” and the second Hedda Hopper. She told me that Helen Spencer was recently declared the best dressed woman of Chicago. As we walked along we went by a large library and' noticed on the sign that Verneice' Williams was the librarian. By then both of us were quite “dry” so we stopped at the “Ryherd” diug store. He came and told us that he had a back experiment room where is is working on a new chemical to take the after-burp out of cokes. He told us that Roy Lenz bad made several basic substitutes from soy bean products. As we were sitting there discussing matters a coke-customer entered and to our booth came none other than our old friend, Lorene Gordon who said she was now Warren Trigg’s private secretary. Of course we had all heard of Warren or Senator Trigg because he was a well-known Washington socialite. Now we were passing by the Quigley Quiet, the new ultra-modern theater owned by Mary Quigley. And next to the theater was a fashionable dress shop which Lillie Biedert and Deanne Lovins were running. Also in the dress shop was a beauty parlor operated by the beautician Wanda June Swinford, or as I later learned. Bell. She has recently been noted for a new wave set which mckes waves last twice as long. She told me that glue was her main substance. She runs the beauty parlor and Ross takes WCHS = 1942 POW-WOW care of the children and the farming. (A good combination, I thought.) Wanda was glad to welcome us to our old home town and soon she was telling us interesting information about our pals of 41-42. Her conversation ran, “Did you know that the swing bend that is hired for tho dance at the Picnic was Gene (Glasscock) Wright’s cver-popular dance band. I’ve heard that Gene’s family life hasn’t been running so smoothly lately. It seems that Mary Maxine, and he, although they’ve been married a number of years still have the same old airplane that they went on their honeymoon in. I guess Gene doesn’t think they need a new one but Mary says that the Etheridges have a new one, and she isn’t to be outdone by Eileen. When I asked how he knew so much about the Etheridges she said that Junior was the handy man in Gene’s orchestra and played any of the horns that there wasn’t any player for on each occasion. Wanda then said that the singer they had to sing in the afternoon had donated her services although she was a famous singer on Broadway. We were surprised at this but Wanda went on to say that it was another of our classmates, Pauline Edwards. She said that Pauline was soon going to start on a world tour with tne great “Sing-a-long” opera She is engaged to Bob Jones but never has gotten around to getting the license because she has sc many personal appearances. Wanda couldn’t think of anymore much to say concerning our classmates but she told us about another center of information which was Harold Baker’s barber shop. She told us the way to get to it and so we took another taxi and were on our way. Baker’s Better Barber Shoppe proved to be a modern man’s fancy of peace and enjoyment. As we walked to the door it opened automatically and as if automatic a friendly fellow stepped to us and was about to ask what he could do for us when he noticed who we were. Harold wasn’t very busy so we sat down and he told us some interesting things about Windsor people. He naturally started by telling us about his old friend, Harold Minor. He, we learned, had followed in his father’s footsteps and owned and managed the Windsor Telephone Company. “Lately,” Harold said, “he has been having quite a lot of publicity in connection with his marriage to Lois Jean Bartley. She, as you folks know is now very famous as The Bartley of dress designing fame.” And then Harold said that we would really be surprised when we heard who the new Presbyterian minister was. None other than that bustling Romeo of high school days, Omer Rand. His wife (Lois Weakley) sings solos at church every Sunday and between the two they managed to draw a crowd of thirty-two on Christmas Sunday. Then Emma J. (Elliott) Morrison came in looking for Paul and she entered into our discussion. She, being the president of the Christian Ladies! Aid, knew' about several people other than those we had inquired about, as yet. The former Nellie Mae Adkins, she said, was now Mrs. Frtnk Johnson and they managed a large farm west of Windsor. She also mentioned that the former Mary Jane Wall, now Mrs. Cloyce Shew, who, with Cloyce ran an experimental dairy farm near Nellie Mae and Frank’s farm. She then asked us if we had seen the large hospital on the west edge of Windsor. We knew nothing about it and were anxious to find out more about it. Emma J. told us that the head physician was Dr. Howard Hamilton and she went on to say that the head nurse was Dr. Hamilton’s wife, the former Rose Marie Edwards. We learned that their sickest patient was Bill Edward Peadro, whose job was to be the official entertainer of the “wall-flowers” at the “Knock About,” which was a well-known night club, about town. One night' when he was working faithfully on his job he was almost kidnapped by some of his admirers but finally got away. Another one of their patients was Eugene Hughes, who was the state cop in charge of traffic in WCHS pow-wow r Windsor’s main street during the week of the Windsor Picnic. It seems that the crowds were so thick that in the jam Eugene was over-run by several sight-seers and was finally rescued by Wanda Whitlatch. Speaking of Wanda, Emma J. told us that Wanda has recently become quite famous with her latest song hit called “Jive-asia.” After the Picnic I again climbed into my gyroplane and roared away with many pleasant memories.
