The hearts that laughed through gay times Stood strong through stormy weather. We entered in that freshman year To a world so strange and new That we felt that we were “green as grass”. (The upper classmen thought that, too!) The second year was easier For we belonged”, at last Oh, Time, that we might call you back; Another chapter passed. They say we were conceited This, they had the right to deem; For we loved the thrill of winning For our-self or for our team! The freshman dance, the sophomore games, The junior play and banquet, too. The year of years;—upon us now. We’re seniors! Classmates;—tried and true. Look up you struggling freshmen— And view us from the past— And remember ’til you’re seniors, Be “not always first, but never last.” —Pat Soland FACULTY Our teachers read “The Nation’s Schools Also the Classical Review”. But don’t let this at all confuse, Because they read “Dick Tracy”, too. I oiu- VVou mi Wifl srG� Hi4h 5c.ko«( 'Peace The guns are stilled, the war is over, and once again PEACE is the password to happiness in the hearts of freedom loving Americans. America is advancement and advancement is Youth. We are the Youth of America. This is the first peacetime annual in five years. Many of our former students and friends have returned to take their places among us again. Yet, though the war is over, boys, everywhere, are still being called, and many of our classmates will be among them. This Pow-Wow is more than just a memory of high school days, it is a tribute to its Youth and the Peace they now possess. In greater and greater numbers our veterans are returning. Many are going on to institutions of higher learning to prepare for the challenges of the future. This is an incentive for advancement on our part. We are but an intricate part of the great machine which Peace employs. It is our duty to maintain the Peace for which our boys went forth to fight and to win. —P. A. S. and M. R. H. Iff faculty J. H.

It was the Senior Class of ’46 Who came out of the country into this mix First, there was Bunyard who could read like a flash, But when he’d see Doris, away he would dash. And then there was Camic, a charming young fellow, He’d dress in bright colors from red to bright yellow. And what about Raymond? A bold fellow was he, Until he met Joyce and then, Mercy Me! Now comes Virginia and now we shall say, She was bright, sweet and charming, and always quite gay. Until along came the Delp brothers, with their old Ford car, And when she chose George, Robert had quite a jar. And then there was Doaks whose motorcycle would fly, But when it turned over, Oh, how he did cry. And then there was Douthit, quite a problem child, And how to control him the teachers never compiled, And then along came Joycelyn in his very last year, And now he does nothing but purr love words in her ear. Well, what about Frank? He was Barbara's joy, Short, dark, and handsome, really quite a boy. And then there was Ruth of her studies was robbed, Because she would take time to dream of a soldier named Bob. And then there was Keith who at stunts was a whiz, But when it came to English he really felt diz. Next in line is a girl named Rose, Who in front of a mirror did like to pose. Next we see an old green flivver, With Glen driving towards the river. And now for Mary Rose, who stayed out late, But we will put all the blame on a boy named Jake. And then came Iola with such a silly giggle, But if she stepped on your toe she really made you wiggle. And now comes Betty so lithe and so small, You could hardly tell she was around at all. And her brother Jim, on his bicycle would ride, When he’d see a girl around a corn he’d hide. Madge, was the girl with the long brown hair, But how red her face got when George tried to sit in her chair. There was a girl named Davida Rincker, Who after all was quite a stinker, Off to Strasburg she would dash, And soon she had a diamond to flash. And now for Soland, the girl about town, In Jim’s little Ford she would ride around. Don’t forget Spencer, known as Betty Ruth, She enjoyed sitting with her young man at Jones’ in a booth. And then there was Elsie a sweet little girl, Who took life easy and lived in a whirl. Now don’t you think this an outstanding class? I think, at least, they all will pass. But there’s one I’ve left out, the author, you know, Can you guess who it is? In her name there’s an O. Seniors FOSTER F.

Cfui fO Senior ill We, the Seniors of '46 being of contrite hearts and stout minds—yet realizing' the end is near—do hereby declare these statements and these only as our last will and making all previous documents of this sort void: ARTICLE I To all underclassman we leave a practically exhausted faculty who we hope will recuperate barely enough to “crawl” back next fall. To the Junior class, all left-over tests, notes, and books so they be sure and get off on the right start. To “Willie”, the simple little task of getting off chewing gum from assembly tables and a well-earned rest from all broken ink bottle complaints and lost nickles in the coke machine. ARTICLE II We, a few Senior boys, leave one relic of the first five to get him four more extras. We, a few Senior girls, are still “deferring” our manhunt as all the Johnnies have not come ‘Marching Home’ as yet. ARTICLE III I, Foster Buckley, left for the navy and those many famous ports. I, Junior Bunyard, leave Doris to anyone who thinks he could keep her longer than he has. I, Raymond Carnine, abandon my 5 point averages for West Point. I, Virginia Carroll, leave ...................... Thank Goodness!! I, Clara Cox, leave my ‘slow as a 7-year itch’ way to Iris Hunt. I, George Delp, leave my romantic characters in the Junior-Senior plays to Jackie Gaddis. I, Robert Delp, leave to succeed Harry Truman as President of the United States. I, Noble Doak, leave my driving ability to whoever has nothing to live for. I, Robert Douthit, leave many broken hearts—the only solution for them while mourning is the “Lonely Hearts Club”. I, Frank Edwards, leave Barbara Garrett to George Richards. I, Ruth Gaddis, leave my typing ability to Shorty Larrew. I, Keith Gustin, leave my manly physique to James Francis Davis. 1, Rose Hamilton, leave my glass collection to Caroline Doty. I, Glen Harpster, leave quietly—before Mr. Dunscomb catches me. I, Mary Rose Hurley, leave my charming cold waves to Vera Argenbright. I, Iola Lenz, leave with Roy’s special school taxi and “Punky” to find him a new one to drive. I, Betty Nolen, leave my legs to Louise Jones. I, James Nolen, leave in search of a secretary who can have a permanent position on my knee. I, Madge Quigley, leave my bashful ways and little peaks of blushes to Lorene Schultz. I, Davida Rincker, leave my place on the honor roll to Kathleen Richards. I, Patricia Soland, leave to give Ina Hutton and her all male orchestra, competition. I, Betty Spencer, leave my quiet ways and slim figure to Eileen Stevens.

Combining the Harvest Picnic and a class of ’46 get-together seemed like a wonderful idea and we certainly had a nice day for it. As we began to gather in the new pavilion which we had rented for the occasion one of the first people I saw was Foster Buckley. He was especially noticeable because of the Navy uniform he still wore. He was home on a short leave with his wife, the former Edith Bolin. While we were talking, a truck drove up and “Doc” Bunyard began to unload ice cream. He told me that he now has the corner drug store and even though he had to work until noon he and Doris would try to get there for the dinner. A muscular five year old went by like a flash and just behind him was Raymond Carnine. Giving up the chase he stopped to shake hands and talk awhile. He said that he and Joyce and little Phillip were in town for the picnic but would soon return to Champaign where he is an instructor at the U. of I. I asked him about Bill Camic and he said that Bill couldn’t be with us because he was traveling in the south where he buys tobacco for the Old Gold company. In the brief pause that followed I watched the reunion of the Delp brothers. George has married another classmate, Virginia Carroll, and is living on the farm west of Windsor. Robert, who is secretary of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce was to be the speaker of the afternoon and he began to tell us all about it! His voice was drowned out by an approaching motorcycle. When the dust settled we found its driver to be none other than Noble Doak. He is still traveling with the circus, where he drives his motorcycle up a vertical wall, stops to light a cigarette, and then drives back down again. We had hardly recovered from this shock when our attention was drawn to an airplane doing some fancy skywriting. It gave greetings to the class of ’46. My friends told me this was the work of Clara Cox, who has become a famous aviatrix. We couldn’t help overhearing Robert Douthit bragging about the pig he planned to enter in the afternoon’s livestock show. Robert is really busy trying to run a farm and a filling station, too. A large limousine pulled up to the door and we could hardly recognize its occupant as the Frank Edwards we once knew. It seems he has put down his bashfulness, married Barbara and become a famous orator. Ruth Gaddis, with the help of her business manager, Kieth Gustin, was distributing autographed copies of her latest book entitled, “Why I Hate Men.” Kieth says she means it and as he spends a lot of time with her he should know. Upon studying the billing for the afternoon show I ran across a number listed as, “Rosa O’Hamilton, Famous Irish Fan Dancer.” Somewhere in the back of my mind this name struck a familiar cord and my friends assured me me that it was indeed our Rose. She has become quite well known on broadway and was performing merely as a favor for her old home town. enior Class Prophecy Glen Harpster arrived with a flourish and began to eye the girls as usual. He has become a Hollywood talent scout and now maintains he has a legitament excuse for constantly being on the alert for new beauty. His face took on that old radiance when he saw Mary Rose approaching but it fell when he noticed Jake close behind her carrying one child and leading another. Mary Rose told me that since Miss Hammer got married and left without any notice she has consented to teach Home Ec. at VV. C. H. S. until a new teacher can be secured. Iola Lenz, who now weighs 120 arrived in the most beautiful costume I have ever seen and when I complimented her she said that she and Betty Ruth Spencer are the owners of Windsor’s most exclusive dress shop and Iola is the store leading model. I talked to Betty Ruth for awhile and asked her about another classmate, Betty Nolen. She told me that Betty would surely arrive soon as she too, was to perform for us. It really wasn’t a great surprise to learn that Betty is now a world champion roller skater. Her brother, Professor James Nolen, who is History teacher at W. C. H. S., was to meet her train and bring her to the reunion. Madge Quigley DeBarr had just set us all to talking about her third divorce and plans for another marriage when Mrs. Gene Telgmann (Davida Rincker) put in her appearance. She runs a chicken farm near Strasburg where she and her husband live. It was really a wonderful day and as my train didn’t leave until midnight, I was glad to go home with Mr. and Mrs. Carl Slifer for a rest and a chance to talk over old times. Mrs. Slifer was formerly Elsie Welch. I felt now that I had quite enough material to fill my column on the New York Times, for weeks to come. That class of ’46 certainly had come up in the world. “Glamour” may teach us just how to charm, “Good Housekeeping” just how to cook, And “Prairie Farmer” shows how to farm. But we don’t learn to flirt from a book. At last war fraa Alr'y Isn’t It? Looks llks our band •46 Pin Up Heavy? ,h Ftarnsl Trlsngl.

CHRISTMAS PARTY Each year in the sale of season basketball tickets the boys compete with the girls to see who can sell the most. The losing side gives a Christmas party for the winning side. This year the girls won and December 21 everyone marched into the gym. David Dunscomb and Jim Myers each played two solos. Then they all sat quietly and listened to Fibber McGee and Molly, on record of course. Next Santa Claus came and gave each one a gift. You would have been surprised at some of them too. Refreshments of ice cream bars and cokes were served. Everyone danced until time to leave. CLASS OFFICERS Senior Class Front Row—Raymond Carnine, Vice President; Junior Bunyard, Secretary.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Due to the fact that the school had been unable to secure the services of an agriculture teacher, there has been no F.F.A. organization for the past three and one half years. Now that Mr. Martz is teaching, it has come back with flying colors and has carried on many activities. To start the year off right the following officers were elected: President ..................................... Glen Harpster Vice-President ................................ Dale Slifer Secretary ..................................... John Garrett Treasurer ..................................... Jim Bunyard Reporter ................. Foster Buckley and Dale Young Sentinel ...................................... Keith Gustin Adviser ......................................... Mr. Martz At the first of the year the officers of the Windsor F.F.A. went to Lovington to the Officers Training School. Sullivan came down for the first meeting and conducted a Green Hand initiation. Just after they organized they conducted a pest eradication contest. The Ag. 3 class competed against the Ag. 1 and 2 classes. I might add that the Ag. 3 boys won. The Junior and Senior Ag. boys took a trip to Gibson City where they went through the MacMillan feed mill. The boys organized an Ag. basketball team which played four games, three of which were with Shelbyville. Two were won along with a victroy over Westervelt High School. They had a check room at the Shelby County Tournament where you could check your hat and coat. Seven members of the F.F.A. attended the Officers banquet at Lovington. George Delp entered a public speaking contest and won fourth place. Son Edwards and Charles Larrew entered a poultry judging contest at Shelbyville. They took fourth place as a team and seventh and eighth as individuals. On March 19, 1946 the Father-Son banquet was held. The menus consisted of: Meat Balls Mashed Potatoes Tomate Sauce Gravy Corn Lettuce Salad Hot Rolls Butter Ice Cream Cakes Coffee After the dinner the following program was given: Toastmaster .................................. Glen Harpster Opening Ceremony ............................. F.F.A. Officers Welcome...........................................

BAND WINS HIGHEST HONORS Soloists and Ensembles Awarded First Division Ratings at Peoria, Saturday State Sectional Band Champions! That folks, is what our WCHS under the direction of D. J. Begeman, became in the contest held at Peoria, Saturday. And this was just a continuation of the phenomenal success the local soloists and ensembles had achieved the day before, for on Friday, David Dunscomb, playing at 7:48 a. m. (standard time) had been awarded first division rating in the saxophone solos. At 9:00 o’clock Patricia Soland became a winner in the tuba solos. In the afternoon the saxophone quartet, composed of David Dunscomb, Jeanette Morford, Harry Green and Hallie Kercheval, won first rating. The judge described this performance as “very much out of the ordinary—approaching professional performance.” A short time later our clarinet quartet, made up of Joycelyn Green, Mary Rose Hurley, Iola Lenz, and Carlton Smith continued the excellent work with another first rating. It’s doubtful if any school in the state enjoyed any greater success for five entries and five firsts and including band, is very unusual. The solo and ensemble contests on Friday had representatives from over 130 schools present. Contestants participate among representatives of the schools their own size— Class D being schools whose enrollment is under 150. All contestants were those who had won a first division rating at a district contest. Windsor had competed at Charleston. In the class D band contest there were nine bands and they were rated by the three judges as follows: (W.C.H.S. was given rating I in sight reading, also.) I Windsor and Rossville ! II Tiskilwa, Mt. Pulaski, Loving-ton and Cambridge III Tremont, Augusta, Morrison -ville The band made the trip to Peoria in a chartered bus, leaving Windsor at 4:00 a. m. and arriving home at 3:00 p. m. The band played at 8:40. Soloists and ensemble mem-| bers made the trip in cars, one group going Thursday evening and the other Friday morning. Accompanists for the soloists were Mrs. D. J. Begeman, and Phyllis Nolte. The group was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Begeman, Mrs. T. R. Morford and Mrs. J. H. Dunscomb. Mr. Dunscomb accompanied the band on the bus. The community is proud of the fine showing of the band and its special participants. It was the second time in the history of the school that our band has made a trip to the state contest. In 1942 Mr. Begeman took a band to Peoria but a third place rating was the best it could do. No contests were held from that year until this although solo and ensemble contest were held during the war years.

The winner of the award at WCHS was Mary Rose Hurley. The award is based upon dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. Cheerleaders Our cheerleaders this year introduced novelty and comedy into the yells. Compliments and letters were showered upon these girls and at all our games home and abroad they were ably supported by a large group of enthusiastic cheerers. The wooden leg and the huba, huba yell evoked much applause. The girls made a pleasing appearance in their blue uniforms with the gold trim. In case you read this 25 years from now and wonder who they were, we should add that Joyce Jones, Patty Gass, Jeanette Morford, and Joycelyn Green composed the pretty foursome. They were aided by Mrs. Alice Dunscomb, of the faculty. Honor Roll Each six weeks the names of students who have an 4.00 (B) average is published. The Sophomores point with pride to the large number of their members who consistently “made” the roll. Ping Pong Ping pong has been a very popular noon hour and before and after school diversion. Several excellent players have been developed, among them being David Dunscomb, Robert Douthit, Raymond Carnine, Patty Gass, Elizabeth Kays, Elsie Carr, and Clarbelle LeCrone. Class Basketball Tournament The Seniors won the class tournament, making the second championship for them, for they won as Juniors. In the first round the Seniors eliminated the Sophomores and the Juniors took the measure of the Freshmen. The championship game was an overtime battle, with the final score being Seniors 42, Juniors 38. Trip To State Tournament Eight season tickets for the state basketball tournament were received this year. These were divided up so that a total of 16 different boys on the squad got to see at least one day of the tournament. Mr. Dunscomb and Mr. Curry took the boys. Mr. Curry Returns J. Russell Curry, coach of WCHS from 1937 to 1942, returned to WCHS October 1 after three years in the service of our country. During Mr. Curry’s absence Mr. Dunscomb handled the coaching and gym classes, while Miss Virginia Ascherman taught the history. During September, the history classes were taught by Mrs. Dean A. Fling. All students in school were new to Mr. Curry for all had graduated that were in school in 1942, but in a few weeks he knew everyone and all learned that he was interested in them and in everything that will make our high school a better school. High School News In Gazette As has been the custom for many years, the publisher of The Gazette provided the school with a column for news of high school activities. Pat and Thriller carried on the tradition with originality and cleverness. As one soldier wrote: “I turn to the school news first. Whoever Pat and Thriller are I want to say they are doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work.” To those who do not know the identity of the two we will disclose them as Patricia Soland and Jim Myers. Band At All Home Games Our band played at all home games, including all four sessions of the Shelby County Tournament. Sickness prevented Mr. Begeman from being present on two occasions but David Dunscomb led the band at those times. The music added much to the enjoyment of the spectators.

In the ticket sale the boys competed with the girls, and the losing side was to give the winning side a party. Although it has never really been decided which side won, the Juniors really did a fine job and broke all previous records by selling $149.35 worth of tickets.

The programs included movies and talks on typing a stencil, working the mimeograph and adding machines, and about getting a job. At the December meeting they had a Christmas party. The club has twenty-eight members this year. BASKETBALL GET-TOGETHERS Mr. and Mrs. Basil Green entertained the first ten basketball boys and their girl friends, the cheerleaders and their boy friends, Manager Delp, Coach and Mrs. J. R.

Curry, and Mr. and Mrs. Dunscomb and David. CLASS PARTIES Each class is permitted two parties a year, to one of which the members may invite guests. Each class held its allotment of parties, with dancing and food being the main attractions. Some of the classes made elaborate programs which will serve as interesting mementoes in years to come. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Had you arrived at W. C. H. S. on Friday, May 18, 1945, you would have found a clan of gypsies stopping for the night. Their camp was dimly lighted by candles and there was a campfire in front of their tent. After being invited to stay and eat with them a gypsy fortune teller came from the tent and told several fortunes. The gypsy girls that served the meal were dressed in their best, and were adorned with jewelry. They served the following meal. Ox Blood Cocktail Wild Bird Gypsy Hash Violin Strings Bonfires Jelly Fish Sala- Covered Wagons Witche’s Brew Following the gypsy feast the other festivities were: G-reetings Welcome—Junior Bunyard, Junior Class President Response—Evelyn Tull, Senior Class President Youth J.

Young Stone has recently returned from the Pacific theater of war where he saw action and was wounded. Happy and Gay are engaged, but Happy shows signs of illness and Gay insists that he consult a physician and have a physical check-up. Gay is in the midst of preparing for their wedding and Happy has just got himself a job when Happy’s physician, Dr. Doom, informs him that with his heart ailment that Happy can live for just three months. Happy wishes to break off his engagement with Gay. How can he break off his engagement to Gay without causing her grief or having her suspect that he is soon to leave this world? On the same day that he is told of his heart ailment his lawyer informs him that he has inherited twenty-five thousand dollars from his aunt. The money is useless to Happy now, so with the aid of his pal, Burton Dawson, he starts giving the money away. In trying to ward off his approaching wedding to Gay he resorts to all sorts of schemes (also aided by Burton) until he becomes deeply involved. Things look bad until the end when Dr. Doom tells Happy that he made a mistake and read the wrong X-ray.

Janitor “Willie” Bulletin Board—Center of Interest SEPTEMBER 3 Teachers line up for inspection. They have our approval (as yet). 4 Didn’t get down to work today. We don’t have the teachers approval (as yet). 5 Boy! these P. E. Teachers really believes in taking hikes. First up one road and down another. 6 Freshmen are still roaming the halls hunting their classes. 7 The Freshmen are all shaking. They are really worrying about what may happen to them tonight at the Freshmen Initiation. 10 Just look at those Seniors. Boy! do they ever look nice, but they all act like they are afraid they will get slightly messed while they are waiting to have their pictures taken. I am afraid some of them are going to be slightly disappointed when the proofs come, but really kids don’t blame the photographer or the camera, because really they can’t help it because mother nature made you look that way. 11 Candidates are chosen for the different class officers. 12 Elsie W. is seen today playing hide and go seek with James D. around the locker doors. 13 and 14 Time out. Thanks to the one who thought of having Teachers’ Institutes. 17 Back again, and the Seniors are really going to town with their typing. From the halls it sounds like somebody is a little bit off in the upper story, but really you guys will understand when you take typing yourself. 18 The Seniors first party is being planned for tonight. Wait until tomorrow and we’ll know who some of the new couples are. 19 It sort of looked for a while like James Nolan had Pat Soland spotted for the night, but I guess it must have been a mistake. We were really surprised though when Virginia and George showed up. Good luck to you George. Maybe Robert can have a chance for the next time. 20 All the pupils are being chased out of the halls and gym, down to the History room to have their pictures taken. These are called “short and snappy ones” which is certainly the truth. 21 Ugh! Rainy day, but it doesn’t stop us from having to go to school. Just have to hunt up your umbrellas and trot along like Mrs. Norman. 24 The FFA has organized and are having their first meeting tonight. 25 Two Saliors are seen running up and down the halls, but it seems as though Gaddis and Soland know how to handle that matter from the way they took over. 26 Several of the boys are seen crippling around. It couldn’t be that football is getting a little too rough for them, or could it? ? ? 27 Poor Willie at it again. To bad there was ever such a thing as ink invented, but really Willie we hate to see you have to scrub that way. 28 Miss Hammer has organized the Home Ec Club and the officers have been elected. Our first meeting is tonight. OCTOBER 1 Are there any mind readers here? If so, please report to the Juniors. Mr. Hartsell gave an unexpected test in English today and the grades were surprising. 2 Robert and Jeanette seem to be having some trouble. It couldn’t be that someone else is falling for those pretty blue eyes and burr head, or could it? We guess we’ll just have to wait and time will tell. 3 If you want to know for sure what made Hallie’s eyes sparkle so today just ask him. From what I gather it seems he and Doris T. decided to renew an old friendship so they got together last night to talk things over. 4 This certainly must be an off day. It seems like nobody knows anything or is making any effort to learn. Maybe its because of the weather. Anyway for now we’ll say its that. 9 The Commerce Club is getting together for the first time. We hope to get organized tonight and ready to start on something for next month. 10 Wehw! 16 dates in one day. Don’t get me wrong—I was just renewing the test we had in History over the Presidents which we now know. 11 Iris and Betty are really getting good at writing noties. At least that’s what us guys think who found their note book today. 15 The FFA are to hold their second meeting tonight. 16 Trouble, trouble, trouble. That’s all that seems to be going on around here anymore. Mary Rose and Jake are on the outs and Harpster has taken over. Phil and her boy friend seem to be having trouble too, but we haven’t gathered the fact about them yet. 19 The Sophomore party is marked on the Calendar for tonight. It seems after so much time, Bill S. has decided to bring Yvonne, and David is bringing Margie. 23 The Juniors and Seniors are all going around with one of their sleeves rolled up and blank expressions in their faces, but we all understand its because of the T. B. shots. NOVEMBER 1 The boys begin their basketball practice this evening. We all are wishing you boys good luck during this season. 2 There is a certain boy in the Senior class who is becoming quite popular with the girls. Won’t somebody take pity on him and warn the girls not to rush him? Remember he plays Basketball. You know the rules girls. 3 The Junior girls all have their hair tied up today as if they are planning to go someplace. Well, maybe they are. I guess it is about time for the Junior Party. 9 Are you coming to Windsor tonight? If you do, drop in at the High School and see “Grandma Goes Hollywood” given by the Junior Class. 12 Big Pep meeting. Speeches, yells, and everything that goes with it. We have our first ball game of the season. Our opponent is Tower Hill. We all feel we won’t have too big a job of winning our first game. 16 My, My, a band party, and what a party it will be. There is a rumor passing around that there are going to be several new couples, but I’ll have to tell you about that some other time. 19 Madge! what’s this news all about that’s going around about you taking Dale away from the Freshmen girls? My advice is that you had better be careful, because those girls are really angry. 20 Are you going to the game tonight? Don’t forget we play Effingham. 22 and 23 Thanksgiving brings a short vacation. We all feel that this is one time when it is certainly needed. After all these book reports our brains are really twisted. 26 Doris what’s the idea of combing Junior’s hair for him before school this morning? Since last night was Sunday night and date night, it sort of give us the impression that he didn’t get home in time to comb it before coming to school. We are wrong though aren’t we? ? ? ? 27 The Arthur B. B. Squad is visiting us tonight. They are coming with the intention fo beating us, but we have all decided to send them home with an altogether different idea. 28 Safety here, Safety there. That seems to be all we hear lately, but from the way some of these guys drive it certainly looks like they need to take some of it to heart. DECEMBER 3 Just 22 more days until Christmas. 4 Pep meeting for the game tonight and another one of those safety talks. What’s all this talk this morning? Of yes. We played Shelbyville last night and beat them. The boys played excellent and we are hoping them the same kind of luck for the next time. 6 Bob is proud of his new sweater. Joan and Betty act like they are too. I was beginning to think they were going to fight over it this morning, but then I guess he promised them that they could take turns wearing it. Anyhow things seem to be settled now. 1 Carl S. visited English IV and History IV today. My how Elsie did recite. She knew her lesson for once. Oh, it was a lucky day for Elsie. 12 Moltrie Tournament at Bethany. We have hopes. 13 Lovington noses us out 34 to 33. A great game. 14 We beat Sullivan for third place. 17 F.F.A. Meeting. Ask Glen Harpster about it. He knows. 18 We lose to Sullivan at Sullivan. 19 F.H.A. Mother-Daugher banquet. Jake Hyland in the kitchen says the food was excellent. He should know because he really ate a lot of it. 20 Go to Tower Hill for game. Easily win. 21 Christmas party. Santa Claus visits the party. Boys are the hosts for they lost in the basketball ticket sale. And this is the last day of school until 1946. JANUARY 2 Back at the old grind after a swell vacation. During vacation our team got second place in the Strasburg blind tournament. 4 Wallop Shelby at Shelby. Huge crowd goes to see the game in Sparks gym. Second team keeps up its good record. 8 Team wins from Beecher City down there. Several go. 9 FFA team loses to Shelby FFA. 11 Beat Findlay. 14 What’s this we hear about Iola and Ivan? ? ? ? 15 Last night the Commerce Club enjoyed a movie. Afterwards Mrs. Norman and Clara became interested in a ping pong game but it seems they had some competition with noises. 16 That old sparkle was back in Jeanette’s eyes again today after she received that letter from a certain guy from Lovington. 17 The FFA basketball team won a victory from Westervelt last night. I bet if you guys knew you would have to pump up your tires before you could go home, you wouldn’t have worked so hard to win that game. 18 The pictures were taken for the Pow-Wow today. Here’s hoping the four new faculty members didn’t break the camera when they had their’s taken. 21 Mr. Hartsell’s motto for the Senior English class: Speak loudly and carry a black snake whip.” 22 Everyone is looking forward to the Shelby County Tournament. Especially the game with Shelbyville. 23-24-25 We lost our game to Shelbyville, but Stewardson came out with leading honors. 28 After resting over the week end, everyone has come back ready to start to work again. 29 A little bit of advice to you Betty N. from the ones who know. Don’t drop letters in the hall, especially when they haven’t been sealed. If you see some of the girls sitting around drawing pictures, don’t get excited. They are just trying to draw house plans for Home Management. 31 The first month of ’46 is gone Seniors. Remember you haven’t much longer at good old W. C. H. S. FEBRUARY 1 After a hard fought game we came back with a victory. Dale Slifer and Yvonne were in the cheering section. It seems Glen H. acted as chaperone for Foster and Edith. 4 Today Pat S. gave an interesting pep talk on the Stewardson team. It seems she has among her old ecquaintances a few who tipped her off about the Stewardson team. Wouldn’t we all like to have some friends at Stewardson. 5 The basketball team is hard at work. Looking forward to the District Tournament later on this month. 6 Just an ordinary day with gossip, giggles and classes. 7 No more housing shortage for the Hartsells; they have purchased a home here in our fair city. 8 It seems that basketball is always entering history classes. Could it be that our classmates as well as us haven’t studied their lessons? 11 A certain Junior boy and girl seem to have lot of Chemistry lab. equpiment to add to their bills. Harry, you and Doris had better be good. 13 Groan! Moan! Those old American Observers today. 14 Valentines to everyone. George D. received a valentine from Strasburg. As Robert Delp would say, 2 feet long and IV2 feet wide. Boy! What a letter or I mean Valentine. 15 Just another day—in case you haven’t noticed. 18 There is much discussion on what kind of teams we will be up against in the tournament, but I guess time will let us know. 19 A short work out for B. B. boys tonight just before the tournament. 20 Tonight is the night our foe is to be Humboldt, but we see now that we have taken first step to winning the tournament. 21 Mr. Curry escorted the players home. Don’t worry girls, it is for the good of W. C. H. S. I believe it helped. Now we have passed two hard stumps. Humboldt and Atwood. 22 Don’t all the B. B. boys feel important? We won the District Tourney from Hammond. We are all proud of you. 25 Another one of those peppy” Mondays; but after all those awful six week tests, what can you expect? 26 After all the disputes between our friends, Bob and Colleen, they are both happy again. 27 The Juniors and Seniors are writing book reports today. As Mr. Hartsell says, book reports or else. 28 The band and its ensembles as well as solos are hard at work on contest pieces. MARCH 1 Another new month has started. The days are getting fewer and fewer. 4 We got out of class for a few minutes today to listen to a speech on 4-H Projects. 5 Everybody has the spring fever today. It’s just like June only we have to come to school. 6 What gloomy faces some of them have today, just because of small quiz in Latin. 7 Warning to those whom it may concern. “No whispering allowed in my library.” Signed Mr. Tillotson. 8 Miss Hammer is called to the telephone today, but when she answers no voice is heard. It couldn’t be that it was Bill and when he heard her voice he passed out. Any way that is a good mystery for some of you people to solve. 11 Davida and Smoky had a fight” (as some would call it) today in English. My how the words did fly. 12 Have you heard the latest? Just about ten more weeks of school. 13 Hurrah for the Senior boys who have taken the class tournament for the last two years. Maybe next year some of the rest of you guys will have a chance. 14 Beulah Ruth has a sore nose. Jack B„ what hasts thou done now? 15 Jobe, Russ, and the first ten B. B. boys goes to Champaign today for the opening of the State Tournament, but they aren’t the only ones who are happy. Mary Rose received her D. A. R. medal today, too. You can imagine how she feels.

The boys are off to a good start and it looks as if they will have many victories this year. Daily was outstanding man with 27 points. WINDSOR 32 EFFINGHAM 35 Due to the illness of Carnine and with Green fouling out with a few seconds remaining in the first half, we were badly handicapped and as a result were beaten. WINDSOR 24 ARTHUR 29 At the end of the regulation time game, the score was tied 24—24, but we were unable to score in the overtime while Arthur scored five points. WINDSOR 26 MATTOON 43 We lost to a big powerful team. They took the lead by a large margin and could not be stopped. WINDSOR 63 SHELBYVILLE 25 Windsor, showing great shooting ability, beat Shelbyville badly. The opposing team did not get a shot at the basket in the third quarter. Daily and Douthit were high point men with 15 points each. WINDSOR 45 ALUMNI 34 The W. C. H. S. team led by one point 20-19 at the half. It had been a close game up to this point but the graduates began to tire and we gained a lead on them which we kept. WINDSOR 23 SULLIVAN 27 Playing on Sullivan’s floor, neither team was able to hit” with any consistency and as a result a low scoring game occurred. WINDSOR 64 TOWER HILL 30 Meeting Tower Hill for the second time, we defeated them easily. Bunyard was high point man with 18 points. WINDSOR 61 SHELBYVILLE 32 We met our greatest rival, Shelby, on their floor and we again defeated them. Bunyard was again the high point man with 17 points. WINDSOR 41 BEECHER CITY 31 Playing at Beecher City, in one of the finest gyms that Windsor has played in this year, we took advantage of this point and defeated them. WINDSOR 29 FINDLAY 25 Playing on our home floor, Windsor defeated Findlay. We led with the score 18-11 at the half, however, they had a better average of scoring during the last half than we did. Daily was high point man with 10 points. WINDSOR 72 STRASBURG 35 We came up against Strasburg and won an easy victory. Most of the substitutes were permitted to play for a few minutes. Windsor led 38-18 at the half and 61-24 at the end of the third quarter. Daily was again high point man, scoring 18 points. WINDSOR 43 SULLIVAN 41 Playing a very exciting game before a very large crowd, we finally emerged as victors. Sullivan led 23-18 at the half but after the pep talk during the half the boys came back ready for a tough battle. Bunyard scored 15 points during the game.

WINDSOR 52 STRASBURG 23 Using 15 men (10 substitutes) this time, Coach Curry’s Cagers” again defeated Strasburg on our home floor. Due to Doehring’s absence, Strasburg was badly handicapped in rebounding. Daily and Bunyard each scored 12 points. WINDSOR 48 CHARLESTON 41 In the most sensational and outstanding game of the year, we defeated Charleston on our home floor. Our boys played their best and it was a great victory. WINDSOR 60 BEECHER CITY 35 Playing on our floor we defeated Beecher City considerably more than when we met them on their floor. Bunyard was high point man with 14 points, Carnine and Slater followed with 12 points each. WINDSOR 35 STEWARDSON 47 Due to Stewardson’s small floor and the fine playing of Steagall and Rothrock we were unable to compete with them. Green was absent from our main five with a leg injury. WINDSOR 39 TEUTOPOLIS 56 In the last regular game of the season we went to T. Town and were met by a very large and powerful team. As a result, we were defeated badly, however, we are very proud of “our boys” and the good work they did in this season. tournaments MOULTRIE COUNTY TOURNEY WINDSOR 33 LOVINGTON 34 This game was very exciting. The boys played well but missed a free throw point and lost. Carnine and Bunyard both made eight points in this game. WINDSOR 40 SULLIVAN 38 We defeated Sullivan by 3 points in a very exciting game. This victory puts us as third place winners in the Moultrie County Tournament. This is also the first time this year that we have played against Sullivan (a tough opponent) but we had confidence in our team. 4—TEAM TOURNAMENT WINDSOR 28 STEWARDSON 27 Stewardson has a very good team and a high scoring man, however, Steagall did not play in this game. It was a very exciting overtime game but we played hard and won a victory of one point. Bunyard was high point man with 14 points. WINDSOR 37 COWDEN 43 Another good team but the boys had played a hard game before-hand and were not up to their best. We were ahead of them at the end of the first quarter but could not hold our lead. tournaments SHELBY COUNTY TOURNAMENT WINDSOR 33 SHELBY 36 After the great margin in the scores of the games we had played Shelby previously and defeated them, this was quite a disappointment. This was just one of the boys’ off” nights. The score was tied at the half. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT FIRST PLACE WINDSOR 55 HUMBOLDT 26 This is the first time Windsor has had to play in a District Tournament but we had great hopes of going on to the Regional. Humboldt was able to score only 4 points in the first quarter. Bunyard fouled out but scored 15 points. WINDSOR 37 ATWOOD 35 This was the second night of the District Tournament and also the most exciting. Atwood was a tough opponent and the game was very close. We were only one point ahead of them at the end of the first quarter. Douthit played a very good game; he and Bunyard were high point men, each having 12 points. This is the first night Green has played since the game with Charleston because of his leg injury. WINDSOR 54 HAMMOND 29 This is the last night of the tournament and Windsor emerges as CHAMPIONS. This is a great night for the team and the “rooters”. The boys have now earned the right to have their pictures posted in the hall. “Bugs” scored 18 points. It was one of the best games he has played this season. REGIONAL WINDSOR 40 TUSCOLA 27 It was a close game during the first half.. At the end of the half the score was tied but Curry’s pep talk must have helped them because we gained steadily during the last part of the game. WINDSOR 23 LOVINGTON 42 This was again one of the boys’ “off” nights and consequently the last game for this basketball season, with nineteen victories and eleven losses. This was also the last basketball game that Bunyard, Carnine, Douthit, and Camic played for W. C. H. S. but we know that we will have a swell bunch of boys next year. Junior Bunyard— Bugs “Bugs” was the high point man of this year’s basketball season. He was a swell player and has a record to be proud of. His superb playing will certainly be missed in the coming year. Raymond Carnine— Ray or Quinnie “Ray” was a great rebounder and center and even though he wasn’t so “hot” at his shots, he will really be missed next year. There were few boys that “Ray” came up against that he couldn’t out-jump. Robert Douthit—“Bert “Bert” (the Cassanova) of the team this year, played a good game, especially during the last two tournaments. He is another senior and will not be back with the boys next year. Harry Green— Pret ty Boy or Greeno “Pretty Boy” Green was the “glamor boy” of the main five, however, he still kept his eye on the ball and played a good game. He will be back again next year fighting for W. C. H. S. Gur Our 'Players Robert Daily— Bob Bob” is just a junior this year and will be one of the two boys left from the main five to play again next year. Bob was the highest point man for a one night’s game—he made 27 points against Tower Hill. William Camic— Bill Bill” is one of these guys who has several nick names but he is better known to most of us as just plain “Bill”. “Smokey” (another nick-name) subbed for the first five this year. He is another senior. Jacob Hyland— Jake or Joko Jake was sub for center this year and the tallest boy on the team. He will be back with the team next year. Lee Slater— Slats Lee was high point man on the second team. He also subbed for the first team and scored several points for them. Gene Noffke— Nottie Gene was just a sophomore this year but he subbed in several of the first team games. He was also one of the high point men on the second team. John Garrett— Johnny Johnny was another player who substituted for the first team, however, he was one of the main players on the second team and scored many points against our opponents. Kenneth Quigley— Ken or Quig Ken played most of his games on the second team, however, he substituted for a few of the first team games and did his best in those. He will be back with the team next year. Don Edwards— Doc Don was a freshman this year and did not get to play much but he still has three years and the ability to go far in the athletic field. David Dunscomb— Dave Dave played mostly on the second team but he substituted for several of the first team games. He played well in those games and will go far in his succeeding games. Jim Allen— Horse Jim played with the Gays team last year then came to Windsor and played with the W. C. H .S. “Blue Devils”. He also played on the second team, but substituted for the first and did a good job when given the chance. Lawrence Carter— Brother Brother” was “little but mighty”. He only played in one first team game but he lived up to his expectations and will make a good player in the future. Manager Robert Delp—“Heavy “Heavy” was a competent manager and kept the team in good spirits with his tall tales. The Second Team The second team has a very outstanding record for this season. The one defeat in 18 games was by Mattoon. It was a very exciting game and the loss was only by a small margin of three points. The boys who played on the second team this season were Hilligoss, Slater, Noffke, Garrett, Dunscomb, Juhnke, Kercheval, Steele, Allen, Slifer, Welch, Quigley, Baker, Smith, J. Bunyard, Harpster, Buckley, Myers, Storm, and Edwards. The high point man for this season was Lee Slater with 147 points, second was David Dunscomb with 127 points. •d 8 « G 3 a a B a 3! � 3 mm a + 3 O V a 0 ►« 0) s Camic CQ o u Q a X c 3 Tower Hill 10 3 9 27 l 6 6 0 Effingham n 4 6 6 5 5 0 1 Arthur 5 5 5 5 2 5 0 2 Mattoon 7 4 3 0 0 0 0 Shelbyville 14 4 5 15 15 4 0 0 Alumni 8 8 5 6 4 0 0 Sullivan 3 6 7 2 0 5 0 0 Tower Hill 18 10 0 12 6 9 1 0 Shelbyville 17 9 ' 14 12 3 2 0 4 Beecher City 10 3 5 17 4 1 0 1 Findlay 5 8 6 10 0 0 0 0 Strasburg 10 7 8 18 12 0 0 5 Sullivan 15 7 5 5 11 0 0 0 Findlay 11 4 1 8 10 0 0 0 Stewardson 7 6 1 5 8 0 1 1 Strasburg 12 7 2 12 7 2 2 0 Charleston 12 13 8 0 4 5 4 2 Beecher City 14 12 0 8 4 4 12 4 Stewardson 2 3 0 12 16 0 2 0 Teutopolis 10 11 0 6 5 0 4 0 Tournaments: Lovington 8 8 1 7 3 6 0 0 Sullivan 8 5 4 13 2 8 0 0 Stewardson 14 4 6 0 3 1 0 0 Cowden 12 8 7 6 5 0 1 0 Shelbyville 1 5 8 7 5 0 6 2 Humboldt 15 11 8 5 0 1 4 1 Atwood 13 5 5 0 12 0 0 0 Hammond 18 0 6 5 13 0 8 3 Tuscola 10 3 0 10 17 0 0 0 Lovington 5 3 4 4 3 0 4 0 Total 319 193 150 256 181 74 55 26 23 C?cLmtc y ancL ' y nond ) )€ Junior Sanyar 2 23a u A c .

I’ve always been of a rather retiring nature and not until this year have I really enjoyed myself. My daddy has a lovely car which he lets me drive to school and it has proved a great asset in my love life. Now my problem is just how am I going to keep the Crutcher boys interested in me after I graduate. Desperate Dear Desperate, You are in a quandary! There is little that I can suggest except you must either take a post graduate course on—“build a better mousetrap.” Editor. Dear Breezy: I’m not a bit concieted but I do want to tell you all about myself. I’ve got a beautiful Buick. I’m unusually handsome boy with curly red hair and a marvelous physique; and I dance like a dream. You can easily see that I should be every girls dream boy but somehow or other I can’t keep a girl. Can you help me? Little. Dear Little, Dye your hair black, buy a model A. and spend your evenings tearing telephone books in two. Women love her men. Editor Dear Breezy: I play the big horn, make good grades and sing, but I fear Jim doesn’t love me like he should. What can I do? Tricia Dear Tricia: Remember boys are fickle and the course of true love never runs smooth. Get Dad’s car and see if that makes a difference. Breezy Dear Breezy: Is it all right for me to protect Carl’s interest in Elsie? I want to do the right thing. Dale Dear Dale: You’re doing the manly thing. But don’t neglect all the girls who are interested in you. Breezy DOAKS GIVES DEMONSTRATION Noble Doak has been employed by Firestone Tire Company to give demonstration on tire saving.
