h- WCHS The Class of 1944 of Windsor Community High School PRESENTS THE POW-WOW VOLUME TWENTY-ONE 1944 Pow-Wow WCHS Dedication Feeling that it confers more honor upon us, than upon them, we the Senior Class of Windsor Community High School, do dedicate this volume of the Pow-Wow to our classmates: They were called to the colors of our Country in December, after reaching their eighteenth birthday anniversaries. They have missed many months of the joys known only to Seniors and we have missed the pleasant fellowship of these boys. Charles Fugate Donald Hall 1944 Pow-Wow WCHS Foreword Because of the war, the present edition of the Pow-Wow is not as elaborate as some previous editions, hut if it portrays an accurate picture of school life: if it preserves happy memories of the past year; if it, as a record becomes more valuable as the vears roll by, the staff will feel it has not labored in vain. So with these thoughts in mind we oresent our Pow-Wow. 1944 Pow-Wow= -fc WCHS Pow Wow Staff Editors.........Wanda Latch and Emma Gene Dickinson Business Manager............Gerald Shew and Paul Davis Circulation Manager---Ila Rineker and Doris Schlechte Athletic Editor ...........................

Our school is no exception. Three different teachers have served the Agriculture classes and finally this department was dropped. Manual Arts was dropped. Two years ago the faculty consisted of seven men and four women. Today there are three men and six women. But we have had worse than the wartime shortages to contend with. Miss Kuhn was injured in an automobile accident Christmas vacation, and at this time (April 1) is not back. Her place is being filled by Mrs. Janet Curry. Mumps, flu, and other illnesses kept other teachers out for intervals of from two days to two weeks. In spite of these circumstances, our teachers have served us well and we Seniors will long remember their help and advice. 1944 Pow-Wow:-- WCHS Faculty J. H. DUNSCOMB University of Illinois, M. S.

Field to take a series of four flights. We were given a hearty welcome from th faculty and assigned to the Cub trainer “Freshman.” The crews and passengers on board the “Sophomore,” “Junior” and “Senior” entertained us at an initiation party after we got acquainted with the commanding officers and non-coms stationed on the field. Captain Arthur Johnson was our able instructor with Jacque Morford as pilot, Bill Spencer as co-pilot, Mary Hennigh as navigator and Dorothy Calvin keeper of the log. Despite the thick fogs of Algebra and science, all of the crew and passengers except 3 (Harold and Gerald Harden and Helen Jeffers) survived the trip safely. Upon calling the role we found that Raymond Warner, Sybil Reed, and Dwayne Hawkins had joined our group. We had finished pre-flight training and were granted furloughs. On September 1, 1941, 45 of the “Freshmen” outfit returned to take training on the B-25 “Sophomore.” Take-offs and landings were quite bumpy due to geometry and biology. In April the biology classes spent an enjoyable day at Shaw’s Gardens, Forest Park and the Lindberg Memorial in St. Louis. Captain Bennett was our capable instructor and with the aid of Gerald Shew, Ila Rincker, Virginia Kercheval and Robert Slifer we had a very successful year. Durng this flight Richard Quigley, Vada Mae Tull and Thelma Shriver were lost, while Mae Lee Kays, Margie Erwin and Doris Schlechto were picked up. Next we were to take a more strict course in advanced flight which started September, 1942. Upon reporting for duty wc found that many of our group were a.W.O.L. Our B-17 Bomber “Junior” was in the hands of Mr. Fleming. We had the misfortune to lose this instructor early in January and Miss Kuhn was unanimously chosen to fill his place. Despite the doubts of those who did not trust a woman flyer we made it back to the field exactly as scheduled. Margie Erwin was pilot: 11a Rincker, co-pilot; Maurine Krile, bombardier; and Gerald Shew, keeper of the records. Raymond Warner was our only loss with no gains. On May 21 our plane crashed in the South Sea Islands and we sent an S.O.S. to the “Senior.” The Senior Class and faculty gladly came to our rescue. When they arrived we had a banquet and entertainment prepared for them. For the first time the Junior-Senior Banquet was held on the South Sea Island known as “Schoola Gyma.” Our last and toughest flight was booked to start early in September of 1943. Thirty Cadets reported and were eager to start this last group of courses before graduation. Our B-19, the “Senior,” was to be in the hands of Mr. Hartsell, who was very understanding and willing to help. To start the year Charlie Fugate was pilot, Bill Spencer, co-pilot; Jacque Morford, navigator; Wanda Latch, keeper of finances; and Don Hall, historian. But this group of thirty were not to stay together. Just before Christmas, Uncle Sam called Charlie Fuagte and Don Hall to accompany him on a larger and very much more important flight. Charlie reported to the U. S. Navy on December 20 and Don went to the U. S. Army on January 3. Their absence was noticed not only in the classrooms but also on the basketball squad. Bill Spencer automatically became pilot, Paul Davis was elected co-pilot, Nadine Swinford was drafted for Don’s job as historian. On January 6, Bill Spencer, Gerald Shew, Paul Davis, Floyd Buckalew, Forrest Worley, and Dwayne Hawkins went to Effingham to receive instructions about U. S. Naval Aviation Training. All the boys passed their preliminary tests there and all •?xcept Dwayne went to St. Louis on January 19 for medical examinations. Bill, Gerald and Paul were accepted, but Floyd was rejected because of defective hearing. Forrest was deferred until he could get his defeciencies remedied. The boys will leave July 1. On April 21, 1944, the Senior Class presented a 3-act comedy entitled “Six Wives on a Rampage.” The members of the cast were Jacque Morford, Wanda Latch, Ruby Clawson, Emma Gene Dickinson, Virginia Kercheval, Mary Hennigh, Maurine Krile, Bill Spencer, Eldon Turner, Paul Davis and Howard Stuckemeyer. Their director was Mr. Hartsell. The motto of the class of ’44 is “Not at the top, but climbing.” The colors are Red, White and Blue and the flower is the American Beauty Rose. The Senior Class of 1944 is scheduled to graduate on May 2f . Many of us will go on to higher education. Others will be helping Uncle Sam. Some will find jobs, but there will be a place for all of us. We have completed 4 very successful years at W.C.H.S. Wc wish to thank the faculty, and our class advisors for their understanding and helpful deeds. —Nadine Swinford, Historian 1944 Pow-Wow WANDA EILEEN BIEDERT “Dolly” “One pain is lessened by anothers anguish.” FLOYD EDWIN BUCKALEW “Buck” “Roll on, tho deep and deep blue ocean, roll!

It was learned through Sombeski, the famous fortune teller, that one of our former classmates is now in Africa. Sombeski says that last week he saw a scene in an African jungle. Upon the throne sat a very savage looking king, and standing in front of him were many natives who had captured a white man. I looked very closely and noticed the king to be Forrest Worley, and as Forrest recognized the white man as Eldon Turner, he gave him the job of ruling a savage tribe. This is one time Turner couldn’t talk his way out.

She will appear at the Lincoln Theater, in the heart of down town Windsor. Perhaps some of you have seen her in the show, “Mrs. Denver.” One of the most notable weddings of the year was performed in the Presbyterian Church of Windsor when Miss Nadine Swinford became the bride of Monsieur Spunkriphige, a gentleman of Paris, France. The bride was beautifully dressed in imported white Cheese Cloth. After the completion of a few last business deals in this community, he will take her to Paris, where she will make her debut. Miss Mary Lou Hennigh, an Enty-mologist of no little note, has made a very valuable discovery in regard to a certain insect which has no legs, but is spreading so rapidly that people in Europe welcome her as the greatest buggist of contemporary times. Miss Hennigh has returned home to rest awhile as she is soon to depart on a lecturing tour abroad. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Show entertained a number of friends at their country home with a formal dance. The party was in honor of Miss Jacqueline Morford, the world famous dancer, who has just returned from Hawaii, where she taught the hula girls how to dance.

I want everyone to expectorate and throw his cigarette stubs into the boxes I shall place on the street corners. No one shall enter this city with a muddy car or vehicle.

Windsor Makes the Headlines Since last Tuesday, when quintuplets were born to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Rankin of our city, Windsor has become the focal point of the eyes of the nation—yes, even of the eyes of the world. Noted scientists, doctors, newspaper men and curiosity May 30, 1954 seekers have descended upon our quiet illage and new of the fine little ones has been broadcast to the world. Don and Wanda are proud of their little brood—five little boys. The task of naming them has become a problem. Mrs. Rankin, who was Wanda Latch B. R. (before Rankin) and quite a student of trigonometry, favors simple names such as A, B, C. D and E, while Mr. Rankin, prominent farmer in our community favors more dignified names such as Donald. Jonathan, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Obadiah. However, we are all proud of the little rascals and as they grow up will probably know them as those Rankin kids. Emma Dickinson Davis, conductor of the column “Ask Aunt Emmy” in the Chicago Tribune, has arrived for a short visit with friends and relatives. Her latest book “How to be Happy Though Married” is expected to outsell her previous success entitled “How to Fool Your Huband, Gals.” When asked about her visit here, she said she could stand her husband just so long and then she had to get away. 1944 Pow-Wow WCHS ✓Autographs 1944 Pow-Wow WCHS Junior Class History On September 1, 1941, a preen, but courageous group of fifty youths were inducted as Buck Privates at W.C.H.S. The top Sergeant chosen to guide these soldiers was Miss Allen. Her helpers were Mac Sexson, Evelyn Tull, Bill Ramsey, and Lud Storm. During the first year at W.C.H.S. three Privates were lost to other training fields. The soldiers met such obstacles as Algebra and English, but they were soon overcome. The last of May these Privates were given a three months furlough and promoted to the rank of Corporals. Early in September thirty-four of the Corporals returned to W.C.H.S. for a second year of gaining knowledge. The top Sergeant chosen for the year was Miss Marked, who proved to be very capable and well liked. Her helpers were, Russell Roellig, Ludwell Storm, Rosalie Conley, and Betty Wallace. This last September we returned as Sergeants, to W.C.H.S. for our third year of training. The top Sergeant chosen for the year was again, Miss Market. Her helpers were Lud Storm, Rosalie Conley, Carl Slifer, and Donald Buekalew. Many from our midst are active in athletics and music. Our dramatic students gave two plays this year, entitled, “Jerry Breaks A Date,” and “Fireman Save My Child.” Characters in the first were: Norma Larrew, Viriginia Robinson, Carl Slifer, Lud Storm, Betty Rankin, and Dean Hughes. In the latter the characters were: Lud Storm, Ruth Maxedon, Rosalie Conley, Betty Wallace, and Dorothy Clapper. May Storm, Evelyn Tull, John Yunker assisted in preparing the stage. For all the Juniors who participated in the play a Chile Supper and dance was given for their splendid performance. During the last semester a Junior party was held. We played games and had refreshments of popcorn and cokes. These sergeants have three years of training behind them and are looking forward to another successful year at W.C.H.S. —Don Buekalew, Historian Sophomore Class History September the first 1942, thirty-three green Sailors were recruited at W.C.H.S. During the year we added another sailor, Mary Rose Hurley. Our commander, Miss Aschermann kept us out of the brig. We elected as Ensigns: Junior Bunyard, Ruth Gaddis, Betty Nolen, and Raymond Carnine. All this school year we had smooth sailing, until the first semester examinations for promotions came up; some were worried, but we all studied (crammed) for them. At the beginning of the school year of 1943, twenty-seven 2nd Class Petty Officers came to ship W .C.H.S. to begin another voyage into the unknown, principally Geometry. This year our Admiral, Miss Kuhn, who helped us in our entertainment and work, met with an accident while on leave from the ship, at Christmas. We elected as Lieutenants: Pat Soland, Mary Rose Hurley, Betty Nolen, and Raymond Carnine. We had a party, but several were missing because of the flu that confined them to the Ship’s Hospital. A few guests were present from other ships. For refreshments of cookies and ice cream were served. Two new sailors Robert and George Delp joined us, boosting our ranks to twenty-nine. Several sailors were represented on the basketball squad, and we have eleven represented in the Ship’s Band, including both Waves and Sailors. We hope to have as many good times in the future as we have had in the past; and to be helpful to the rest of our comrades. —Raymond Carnine, Correspondent 1944 Pow-Wow WCHS Freshmen Class History September 1, 1944, the air-transport “Class of ’47,” took off with a full load of thirty-five hoys and girls with Bill Carter at the stick; Harry Green, co-pilot; Doris Dickinson, hostess; and Jim Myers, mechanic. We pointed the ship’s nose at those distant and treacherous islands, the year course group. Our first trouble came when we were intercepted by a group of speedy fighter-planes, by name of “Seniors.” They were intent on shooting us down hut were driven off safely. After the attack there was much gaiety on board, in the form of an all school dance. After the dance the “Seniors” once more attacked, but our trusty basket ball hoys, Bill Carter, Harry Green, Bob Daily and Jake Hyland drove them off with plenty of good shots. We were then entertained by the freshman hand members, Jim Myers, and Jake Hyland, cornetists; Harry Green and Hallie Kercheval, who play saxophones; Margery Templeton on the trombone; Joyce Jones, who plays bass drum and Elaine Camfield, with her flute. They played several stirring numbers. Between semesters Jim Tilford, Virgil Thompson, Billy Gaston, Eugene Allen, and Carlos England, bailed out and were lost from sight, as we sped on. We arrived at our destination and immediately began to sell bonds to the natives. The boys out-sold the girls $1,200 to $750. We saw the natives wearing queer things in their hair and we investigated. Some girls had started a Home Economic Club. Most of the students settled on the islands Algebra, Home Economic, History, General Science, and English, but seven settled on the fierce Latin Island. —Jim Myers, Historian JUNIOR ( LASS Front Row (left to right)—Rosalie Conley, Ileanna Moffett, Betty Jean Rankin, Jean Beldon, Pearl Edwards, Ruth Maxedon, Miss Markel.

(A holiday for the kids.) 8 Teachers meeting at Mattoon, Hurrah! more vacation. 11 Mrs. Faber said this was another blue Monday. 13 Tests, Tests, Tests! in typing and physics. Aren’t you Juniors glad that you are not Seniors. 15 If you want to know what happened in Biology class today just ask Junior Bun-yard or Pat Soland. No more school till Monday. 19 Mrs. Faber is learning something each day. Chas. Stilabower told her today that Santa Clause was a great man in his estimation. 22 Senior picture proofs came and did you see some of them. They looked pretty good. Miss Aschermann knows she can be a movie star now. She is having a large picture framed for the Library we believe. 26 Did you know that we have a boy by the name of Sir Eldo and Lord Stilo in our school. 29 No more school for this month. NOVEMBER 1 We got a flying start today with a test in English. 2 It wasn’t a flying start, it was merely a low take off—look at those grades. 4 In case that you don’t know what happened in the library, ask Nadine Swinford. 8 Another blue Monday. Mr. Hartsell gave an unexpected test in English. 10 Mr. Hartsell says that many more of these blue Mondays won’t be exempt. 12 J. M. U. gave us an especially nice program. 15 Mr. Dunscomb is planning on moving—some of the students in the 6th hour library. 17 It is about time to pick Cheer Leaders, don’t you think? 18 It looks as if we might have a boy Cheer Leader. 23 Arthur came down on a good will trip only to defeat us. 26 Another of those vacations—until Monday. 30 Hurrah! one more month gone by. DECEMBER 1 We started the month off with a bang by going to Effingham where we were defeated. 3 We all journeyed to Arthur where we lost a Blind Tourney. 4 Mr. Hartsell learned today that the lowest thing in this' world is a Tattle Tale, in Lord Stilos’ mind. 7 We invited Shelbv over for a game of basket ball but weren’t very kind to them, for we defeated them. 9 The sophomore had a class party last night and some new couples turned up. 10 We went to Sulbvan to defeat them just for the fun of it. 14 Miss Kuhn is so busy making out the list of absent students. Why? They are sick with the flu. 15, 16, 17 Moultrie County Tourney at Arthm Sorry to say but we were defeated, winning only 2nd place. 20 The Commerce Club held there first party. 21 Contents of a lost letter: Dear Santa Clause: I have been a good boy all year. I have made “A” in deportment and in all my studies. I am at home and in bed at eight every night, and I don’t go with the girls. I would like to have a stick of candy for Xmas or some little sweet. Do you remember where I live? You’ve been here before. 30 We were sorry to hear that Miss Kuhn was in an Auto accident. Everyone wishes her a quick recovery. A good little boy. Sir Eldo G. Turner WCHS JANUARY . 3 Everybody back to school. Many new and shiny Xmas gifts were being worn by everyone. Just ask Jacque. 7 Group pictures were taken for the Pow-Wow. Did you Freshies see the birdie . 10 It seems as a certain Senior boy is being chased by Emma G. Dickinson. Don t forget the rules of basket ball training. 14 Sir Eldo asked Jobe if he thought that Santa forgot where he lived or that he didn’t get his letter in time. 15 Well it is to late to worry now for they are already over—those Semester exams. 22 Miss Aschermann’s motto for the Senior classes: “Speak loudly and carry a little stick.” 22 She has changed it today: “Speak loudly and carry a little stick.” 26 Mid Trigg insists that one can spend an hour with a typewriter and still have no knowledge. 30 What a calamity happened today. Will we never forget it? If you can’t remember what happened, just ask J.H.D. FEBRUARY 3 Assembly program starting the bond drive. 4 The bond drive got started. (Boys vs. girls). 8 Today it ended with the boys leading by a big margin. To us this spoils PARTY. Total sales were ($12,360.00.) 16 Mrs. Faber took the Chemistry class to Mattoon to the show. (Madam Curie.) 19 We won a game from Bethany. That is getting revenge back. 22 Washingon’s birthday. Only one person took that day off. 25 At last those girls gave us a party. Did we have fun. Some surprising couples turned up. Thanks girls. 29 Won a close game over Newton to keep us in the tourney. 2 Janet Curry took Miss Kuhn’s place as substitute typing teacher. 9 Ila Rincker sick today. Jim Carter left for the Navy. A soldier named Leroy was here to see Emma G. Dickinson. 16 Basket ball boys went to Champaign to see the State Tourney. Some fun, yes—no? Just ask Buck or Davis. 22 In case you don’t know what happened today. Ask Mary Hennigh. 23 The Home Economic girls served chicken pie to the students who wanted to buy it. 25 Someone must have disagreed with Raymond Carnine. Did you see that black eye? Maybe Joyce would know something about it. 3C Good thing today isn’t Friday 13th. A black cat was seen in front of the school this morning. 1944 Pow-Wo v-.'“ v 'V:' —-Ni MARCH WCHS SENIOR PLAY ‘SIX WIVES ON A RAMPAGE” Buzz—Housekeeper at cottage ....................

For group two, Wanda Latch was editor and Emma Gene Dickinson was her assistant editor.

WCHS ASSEMBLY HOUR Mr. Harteell’s assembly was the turning of the world from the time the pilgrims came to America until the present time. The times were expressed in pantomine form with someone reading over the microphone. Some of the scenes were: The Pilgrims around a dinner time. The Indians of the time. Patrick Henry in the midst of “give me liberty or give me death.” A mother, her young son, and a baby in her arms. The farmer, the laborer, the school-girl, and the house wife. A preacher, talking to a group of young people. Two young people under the Nazi Emblem, and the last scene was a Soldier and a Wac standing by the American Flag, while behind the curtain “Lot’s Bring New Glory to Old Glory” was sung. It was ended by everyone singing “God Bless America.” Mrs. Faber had her Chemistry students put on a demonstration of fires. The most common causes of fires were pointed out, and also ways of preventing these fires. Another talk was given on starting and extinguishing fires. To make good practice for a fire drill, the bell rang four times, “fire alarm.” The students all filed outside and got in line. Out on the school parking lot was a small house on a pile of wood burning. The boys demonstrated their fire extinguishers and put out the fire. Miss Markel displayed her Freshmen English Students in a debate. The subject to be debated on was: “Resolved that written examinations should be abolished.” The Judges decided that the affirmative side won. The other section of Freshman then made their appearance and a quiz program was put on with Johnny Garrett as Master of Ceremonies. If the Freshmen couldn’t answer the question put before them, the audience had a chance to answer it. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held in the High School Gymnasium on May 21, 1943. South Sea Island theme was carried out in the decorations and programs. Grass huts, palm trees, pineapples, and coconuts composed the table decorations, while the programs were decorated with a moonlight Hawaiian scene. Place cards were yellow crescents attached to colored nut cups. On the stage of the gym was a miniature lake with boats floating thereon and palm trees blowing in the breeze (furnished by electric fans). The waitresses were barebooted sophomore girls attired in grass skirts with usual colored leis about their necks and ankles. The following meal was served: Rolls Tomato Juice Cocktail Spring Salad Carrots Potatoes Chicken a la king Buttered Parsley Noodles Cake Strawberries Coffee and Whipped Cream Following the meal a short program was given which consisted of: Welcome ........................ Margie Erwin Response ......................... Leland Davis Seeing Eye .................... Charlie Fugate Entertainment on the Beach . . . Jeanette Morford Aloha ......................... J. II. Dunscomb After the program the evening was spent in dancing until 11:00 p. m. It was a wonderful evening with beautiful girls in formals, handsome boys in new suits, lovely decorations, soft Hawaiian music during the meal—good food and a good time. BOND DRIVE For the fourth War Loan this year the High School Students did the soliciting in the city of Windsor. It was decided to have a contest between the boys and girls to ee who could sell the most bonds. The losers were to treat the winners to a party. As seems to be the trend this year, the boys sold the most bonds. So!—the girls played the part of the hostesses to a Leap Year Dance. 1944 Pow-Wow 1 WCHS POW WOW STAFF Sitting—Marilouise Young, Wanda Latch, Emma Gene Dickinson, Mary Lou Hen nigh, Jacqueline Morford and Thomas Gaston.

On May 28, 1943, the band and chorus took part in the commencement exercises. The band played three numbers and the chorus sang two numbers. As to studies, the band didn't rest during the summer. Every week brought the members back for one lesson, a rehearsal, and a weekly concert on Saturday nights. Gold letters were awarded to those who attended all concerts and rehearsals. We started September off by playing at the Masonic Home in Sullivan. This was made possible by John Smysor. The band made showings at all basketball games and also during the Shelby County Tournament which was held here. April is drawing near and with it comes solo contest. This year instead of going through the District and Sectional contests, the soloists go directly into the State. There are three members of the band entering the contest. They are: Jim Myers .............................. Cornet Ruth Maxedon ......................... Clairnet Virginia Kercheval ...................... Flute Another contest is planned for both the band and chorus later on this spring. They both plan to take part in the baccalaureate and commencement exercises ihis spring. BASKET BALL TICKET SALE AND CHRISTMAS PARTY As is a yearly custom the boys and girls have a contest to see which can sell the most season basket ball tickets. This year for the first time in several years the girls were defeated and therefore were drafted to invite the boys to their Christmas Party. A basket ball game was put on by several girls from the Physical Education Classes. They were dressed in silly costumes. Evelyn Tull played the part of Mr. Dunscomb, as coach of Windsor team and Maurine Krile was coach of the Sexson Corner team. Mary Worley and Norma Jean Larrew were cheer leaders for Windsor, while Virginia Kercheval and Phyllis Nolte led the cheering section for Sexson Corner. A large margin of GO to 13 was in Sexson’s favor (intentionally of course) when the game ended. Cheers came from the crowd, “We don’t want to settle for a tie.” So! ! ! 7t was decided to have Betty Ruth Spencer and “Fanny the Faber” battle it out with boxing gloves. Betty Ruth was knocked out and Sexson won the game. After the game was over Santa Claus made his appearance, (Pat Tomlin) and read several letters. A grab bag was enjoyed by all, after which refreshments of dixie cups were served. HIGH SCHOOL DANCES So far this year we have had three “All School Dances” on the stage of the High School Gym. Usually refreshments of ice cream or cokes are served. As a special attraction and also as a result of the fourth War Bond Drive, the girls put on a Leap Year Dance. The girls were to do the inviting and bring their boy friends to the dance. Some of the dances were “girls tag” or “boys tag”. Another was the Broom Dance. One of the most popular, though, was the Grand March. Before one dance the girls were given diamond rings, out of green paper, and the boys were given wedding rings. The girls were to search through the boys and find the ring that matched her own. That was to be her dancing partner. 1944 Pow-Wow-------- WCHS CHEEIt LEADERS (Left to right)—Doris Dickinson, Carl Slifer, Joyce Jones.

WCHS Individual Players FLOYD BUCK A LEW—Senior Guard. “Buck” “Buck was substitute for the first team for the first few games but later became a player. “Buck” acted like he didn't want to get rough with the boys but you know what happened when he did. JUNIOR BUNYARD—Sophomore Forward, “Bugs” “Bugs” came through with many unexpected shots because he could really glide through. “Bugs” was also a sub at first. He soon got on the game and came through O. K. RAYMOND CARNINE—Sophomore Guard, “Quinine” “Quinine” is a serious type of player. Or is he serious when he frowns? Even at that “Quinine” helped the team along. PAUL DAVIS—Senior Guard, “Danny” “Danny” is one of our Navy Air Corps Reserve boys. Paul played a good many good games for us and got the third highest score. This is “Danny’s” only year on the first team. CHARLIE FUGATE—Senior Guard. “Big Horse” Charlie is now in the Navy. Charlie was a good player and one of the two letterman from last year. DON HALL—Senior Center, “Jocko” Don is the other letterman from last year. Don left for the Army a week after Charlie left for the Navy. Don is missed very much because he was usually our high scorer for the games. GERALD SHEW —Senior Forward, “Slipper” “Slipper” was our high point man with his total of 204. Gerald is in the U.S.N.A.C.R. He was really a helper in all of our games. This was his only year of playing. FORREST WORLEY—Senior Center. “Frosty” “Frosty” did good work as a center. He took the place of Fugate. Remember the night “Frosty” pushed that little boy down and sat on him in a game at Effingham? Even with this “Frosty” played to help win. JOHN YUNKER—Junior Forward, “Yunk” “Yunk” only played 14 games and quit because of doctor’s orders. We hope to see him back on the team again next year. J. H. DUNSCONB, Coach To “Jobe” we owe credit for the fine team we had this year. “Jobe” kept the boys in a good humor by the stories he could tell on them. Quite a few stories came from the games at Arthur. How about that, boys? CHEER LEADERS Our cheer leaders this year were: Freshman, Joyce Jones; Freshman Doris Dickinson and Junior, Carl Slifer.
