We came through our initiation with flying colors and settled down to skipping classes and numer- ous double assignments. Betty McBratney was chosen cheerleader. We elected our class officers making Walter Parker, presi- dent; Jerry Dirkes, vice president; and Betty McBratney, secretary treasurer. Both boys and girls went out for basketball. Somehow we got through our freshman year without any casualties. 1948 rolled around and we started our sophomore year with thirteen strong. This was the year that we gained JoAnne Me Lean, who became a cheerleader, and lost Eloyse Kennedy, Larry Chamberlain, Melvyn Jackson, Harold fthite, and William Stevens. We chose Donald Heaney as president; Betty McBratney, vice president; and JoAnne Me Lean, secre- tary treasurer. Three of the feminine mem- bers of our class made the girls’ championship basketball team this year. All-in-all it proved to be a successful year. On entering school the first day of our junior year, we met our new superintendent, Mr. Tuomi. JoAnne Me Lean was again chosen for cheerleader and we picked Mr. Sherwood as our class advisor. He and our class officers, along with the rest of our class, led us successfully through the big event of the year, our senior prom. Our theme for the prom was a rose garden and was de- clared one of the most beautiful proms ever held in Augusta High School. Betty McBrat- ney was elected president; Jim Fischer, vice president; and Carolyn Kestner as secretary treasurer. Betty McBratney was chosen by the seniors to be assistant editor of the an- nual and Donald Heaney as assistant business manager. Bob Garrison and Donald Heaney played on the sub-district championship foot- ball team. We ordered our rings and received them in January. We were very pleased with them and believe it or not, a few members still have theirs. Betty McBratney was chosen to represent Augusta at Girls’ State. On September 5, 1950, fourteen bright- eyed, intelligent seniors made their way through the front doors of Augusta High School for their fourth and final year (we hope). We elected Donald Heaney as president; Pat Shannon, vice president; and Howard Bowman as secretary treasurer. Once again JoAnne Me Lean was given the honor of leading the pep squad. Betty McBratney moved into the position of editor of the Wapiti and Elsie Joseph was chosen from the junior class to be assistant editor. They had an excellent staff of helpers. December 1 was picked as the date to have our graduation pictures taken. This, our last year, is perhaps the hap- piest, and yet the saddest, of all four years. On May 23, 1951, fourteen seniors, bold, am- bitious, and anxious, ended their great high school careers. We have accomplished four years of education and we will never forget our wonderful years together at Augusta High School. 9 Class Will Know Ye All, that we, the Class of 1951, Augusta High School, fearing an ultimate and uncalled for end, and being in perfect health and sound minds (ask our dear teachers) do now proclaim this to be our last WILL and TESTAMENT of all our scholarly (or other- wise) possessions; this WILL and 1 ESI A- MENT hereby revoking all previous WILLS and TESTAMENTS or promises made by the class or members.

Vie, the senior class, sit in a large circle. The lights are dim and the center of attention is Mr. Sherwood, our class advisor. Sitting in front of him is a large crystal ball in which he sees the members of our class ten long years from now. His gaze is first attracted to a large bridge which was recently constructed by the great engineer, Walter Parker. This bridge is extraordinary in the fact that it has no braces. It is held with cables and sways with the wind. On either side of the bridge we see the two largest ranches in the world. They are owned by Howard Bowman and Jerry Dirkes, who are raising and competing against each other for the champion Hereford of the states. Several miles to the east we see a huge airport owned by Norma Ginther, the greatest woman pilot of today. Now the scene changes to New York City and Madison Square Gardens, where we find JoAnne McLean the wife of the owner and star rodeo contestant of the Gardens. Gazing into the rodeo arena, we watch the world’s famous rodeo clown who is none other than our old friend and classmate. Bob Garrison. We turn now to the many famous theaters and night clubs in New York City. We look into the most popular of all, the Stork Club, which is now owned and managed by Marlene Morrison. We watch her as she greets New York’s most famous model. It is the blonde member of our senior class, Pat Shannon. Next, we visit the most beautiful home in the United States, which is owned by the model housewife and mother, Carolyn Kestner. She is having her gorgeous home redecorated by the best known interior decorator of all times. We are surprised to see that she is our old friend Betty McBratney. The scene now changes to California and its largest city, Los Angeles. We visit the Shishequaw art gallery where the well known artist, Lavonne Neal, is giving a personal appearance with her fabulous paintings. Among her many admirers, we find the city’s best teacher with her art students. The teacher appears to be Marilyn Ireland, another member of our graduating class. We look again and the scene has changed to the Rocky Mountains and the most beautiful dude ranch in the states. Jim Fischer, the owner, is engaged in a conversation with his old friend and “side kick,” Buddy Heaney, who is on a much needed vacation. We learn that he is the world’s most outstanding foot- ball player. He is left tackle on the Chicago Bears’ professional football team. The lights are brighter now, and the crystal ball is blank. It has predicted our futures and we have seen ourselves in many different professions. But as we gaze at each other solemnly — we wonder. 11 ELSIE JOSEPH Vice President JAMES MIREHOUSE ERNEST AUSTIN President Juniors LORENE NEAL V V' KENNETH GIRARDI Secretary-Treasurer ROBERT HUBBARD RUTH EMILY 12 ROBERT POTTERE I PAT RANEIRI Vice President BARBARA GIRARDI President EDNA HITCHCOCK Secretary-Treasurer Sophomores JOYCE FENNER THLEMA ARROTTA RALPH ANDERSON 13 VIOLET WISEMAN DAVID FLOM President FERN PAUL Vice President GEORGE AUSTIN Secretary MARGARET McDONALD Treasurer Freshmen Varsity BOB GARRISON Co-captain — Halfback DON HEANEY Co-Captain — End JIM FISCHER Center FOOTBALL SCORES Augusta . 12 Highwood . . . , . . 27 Augusta . 14 Simms . . . 16 Simms won tie play-off Augusta . 18 Power . . . 20 Augusta . 62 Dutton .... . . . 12 Augusta . 47 Belt . . . 6 WALTER PARKER Fullback Football BOB HUBBARD Center JIM MIREHOUSE End GARY FLOM End Bob Garrison — Senior — Bob was speedy, elusive, and a very good open field runner. Bob was at his best on offense and will be missed by the team next year. Bob was co-captain. Don Heaney — Senior — co-captain of the team and played end and halfback. Don had speed and drove hard when carrying the ball. His de- cisions on the field helped the team. Don will be missed� Jim Fischer — Senior — Due to injuries this was Jim’s first year with Augusta. Jim played well as a halfback or center and was a hard tackier. Opponents respected him. Walter Parker — Senior — Walt was an .asset to this year’s team. He played fullback and with his hard driving made large gains for the team. He was very effective as a line backer on defense. Ernie Austin — Junior — Ernie played quarterback and was very effective in calling the plays for the team. On defense Ernie was effective and he has another year to display his ability. Lloyd Paul — Junior — Teamed up with Parker in the fullback position and he gained yardage continually with his hard driving. Big things will be expected of Lloyd next year. NOT PICTURED Jim Mirehouse — Junior — A very good end and pass snatcher and one of the strongest on de- fense. They just don’t go around Jim’s end. Bob Hubbard — Junior — Played center and was a newcomer to the team. Bob displayed ability and played hard when called upon. Kenny Girardi — Junior — Another newcomer to this year’s team. Ken played quarterback and has a fine passing arm. Another year will prove his effectiveness. Charles Parker — Sophomore — Charles played end and was very capable and he played well on defense and offense. We hope Charles can be with us next year. Gary Flom — Sophomore — Gary played end on the team and showed ability as a pass snatcher. Gary has two more years and should be very effective next year. Dick Kenck — Sophomore — Dick also played end and saw action in several games. With more experience Dick will be an asset to the team. Ralph Anderson — Sophomore — Ralph played center and tried hard at all times. Ralph has two more years to play and will be a great help next year. MR.

They didn’t have very many games but they were enough to give them a little of the fighting spirit. Those who came out for the games were Don Arps, Ray Phillips, Leonard Ranieri, Myron Hoffman, Bob Bean, Reginald Wearley, Jim Allen, Gene Nett, Ray Mills, Nicky Morrison and Donald McBratney. We think they will prove to be of value to their team in future years when they are in high school.

Mr. Standal: Of course not. Bob: Well, I didn’t do my English. Mr. Sherwood: Can you give me an example of wasted energy? Walter P.: Yes, sir — telling a hair-raising story to a bald-headed man. Stall and the class stalls with you, Recite and you recite alone. First Husband: They say Jones’ wife had triplets after reading “The Three Muskateers.” Second Husband: Good Lord! My wife was reading the “Birth of a Nation” when I left. The battle cry of the faculty, “They shall not pass. ’ 32 WO’T °. noS A yrrv (TWOIX STOR-6 — AUGUSTA.
