Senior Junior Sophomore Freshman 7 sks IN MEMORIAM BETTX' CASS Born February 6, 1927 Died December l6, 1945 Death a Quiet Door Death is only an old door Set in a garden wall On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk, Wlwen the thrushes call Along the lintel are green leaves Beyond, the light lies still Very willing and weary feet Go over that sill. There is nothing to trouble Nothing to hurt at all. Death is only a quiet door In an old wall. any heart, - Nancy Byrd Turner History of the Class of 1946 Once upon a time, there were one hundred and thirty-six little Freshies that en- tered the doors of Clay High during the time of a war-torn world. As time went by the little Freshies became less frightened and their knees quit knocking. As quick as a flash they became Sophomores and more confident of themselves. Fun and play were mixed with a little bit of work. They gave a Halloween party and became better acquainted with each other. To help them struggle through the year were Ernie Bollinger, Bill Zunk, Juanita Nelms, and Betty Blessing. presiding as class ot- ficers. They came back in the fall of 1944 thinking themselves pretty big because they were upper classmen and would receive class rings and get to go to the Prom. Amid all the excitement, they chose Ernie Bollinger, jane Reisner, Betty Blessing and Ginny Perry as class officers. They all had a wonderful vacation that summer because there was no more gas rationing or even any more war. They could go places and do things. But all too soon September rolled around again. They were now big, bold Seniors. That year was the most eventful. They had a mass meeting to raise money for a new football stadium, The Seniors turned in one hundred dollars first. At the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance we had the biggest crowd for a long time. We also had dances after the basketball games, and we had a simply swoonderful time at the Prom. But the time came when they had to exit from the doors of Dear Old Clay High' and go ahead to make their fortunes in the world. 4 15 D RICHARD BITTNER If 1 111111 1111' 1'f70jL'L' 1111111'111g 111111 1f111111g. 1'11 r ELAINE BLACK ' 1f1111y111e1 of 117c ,q111f1.N 1111'1111'11 1.111 111111 1111111 11111111111 1.111'. lHf'l4'l'Y BLLSSING HA111111111' 1,1 1111 .l!I1fIllllt' 11111g11.1g1 111 11'f7ft'!1 111e 111111111111 gently 11111e11' e1w1'1 Illjlld 111111 1111111 fX7.lf 111111 lfwy 11,111 Wild. lI:RRY HOGART I 111111 11 11111111 101' .111 I 111w1.

Good-evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is your favorite reporter bringing you all the latest news and views of my old schoolmates from Clay-Hi, who are now scat- tered all over the world. A new record was made today when Bill Edgar piloted his plane, The Shank's Sailing Ship, fmanufactured by Bud Shanks and his able assistant and wife, Joanne Lutzj across the Atlantic Ocean at 2000 miles an hour. Bill was flying Dick Costle, that eminent Spanish ambassador, and his secretaries, Ruth Grotz and Audrey Nelms, back to Spain after a conference with Wayne Bricker, new Secretary of State and a candidate for the 1960 presidential'election. The Navy Post Chapel at Annapolis was the setting for the double wedding ol Jean Liptack and Miriam Hagemeyer who married their Navy this afternoon. Con- gratulations, Jean and Haggie. Another startling event of this afternoon was the accident in the Kelly Kemical Korporation. It was a freak explosion in which Bob Healy, chief chemist, escaped injury. At the time the owner, Larry Kelly, is said to have been' visiting the Phyllis Beauty Shoppe owned and operated by Phyllis LaCourse and Phyllis Hindee. Local gossip says he spends quite a bit of time there. No wonder he was voted the Most Well-Groomed Man of the Year. This past week has brought many new discoveries and experiments in the field of science. Richard Huss and Harold Ackerman, the gentlemen farmers, have developed a new hybrid type of corn which will grow to maturity in thirty days. Mary Carlo, Emily Dreier, Shirley Smith, and Dorothy Heltebrake have perfected a well-balanced diet for the farmerf5000 calories a day plus an apple. The girls will first try it out on their husbands before they release it for public use. Dwight Witty and Melvin Lauman have invented a new tractor that makes farming a cinch, boys. It plows, cultivates, irrigates, digs, picks, mows, cuts, threshes, bales- anvthing you want. just push a button. VSWR 25 Senior Prophecy A new breed of featherless turkeys has been developed. The developer is Ruth- etta Nelson, an old hand at turkeys. Now Thanksgiving dinner will be easier for everyone. Avaloo Dresser has made a frosting that will decorate cakes from coast to coast. The reason for its success is its simplenessfjust soapless shaving cream with flavoring and brushed on. It has a new and different taste. Only three Nobel prizes were awarded this year. The lucky winners are Louise Kuhlman and Dorothy Mominee whose outstanding work with atoms has rewarded them with equal prizes for physics. Douglas Hosley was awarded the prize for liter- ature. Critics say Douglas will go down in history as the greatest poet of the age. Virginia Peregoy is still perfecting her new method for embalming dead people. It seems that she has discovered the Egyptians' secret of mummification. Edna Christoffer has not been successful so far in trying to End something for shrinking tall people down. She says she will keep on trying. Now for some news from New York's Broadway and Fifth Avenue. That rising young bandleader, Bob Ferrel, and his Fearsome Frolicers, featuring Bernice Cedoz as vocalist, are now playing in the Schumaker Room of the Whitacre Arms Hotel, owned and operated by Betty Whitacre who, incidently, was married for the fourth time last week. The Schumaker Room was named in honor of Kate Schu- maker, the first woman mayor of New York City. A Broadway success The End written and directed by Anita Koch with an all- star cast including Marianne Cavas and Bill Heinig is finishing its 154th performance on the stage and is likely to run for two more years before it is made into a movie.

Juanita Nelms, lawyer, personal sec- retary, stand-in, and companion to the star, took care of the legal difficulties. Tommy Manville wanted it for a reunion of his thirteen ex-wives. Dorothy Eteau and Elaine Black have written a book entitled uThe Mysterious Mysticisms based on their experiences as fortune tellers. Shirley Snyder and Eva Burnside have just returned from a tour of South America where their latest novels have been a big success. Now they plan a tour of France with Charlotte Herbert as in- terpreter. The latest thing in literature is a dictionary written by Nola Phipps. It is to teach Northerners to speak with a Southern accent. Nola says Those Yankee for- eigners just'll have to learn to speak American. Audrey Buehler, Ruth Berger, and Beverly Schuster have just published a book, Shorthand and Typing Made Easy, which in all probability will replace Gregg in all schools. . There is rivalry between the nation's two greatest newspapers, Reisner's Reader and the Arquette Gazette. Both want that brilliant columnist Ruth Greene exclusive- ly for their paper. So far Ruth's been free-lancing. This week will tell the result. Dick Bittner, owner of a chain of drug and grocery stores has started something new in his stores. Sandwiches with different fillings put up like a loaf of bread. Cass Daley retired last week and Doris Phillips, thecomedienne, has taken over all of her stage, screen, and radio contracts and already Doris is a great hit. She has with her as a stooge her protege, Joyce Siewert. The Olympic Games were held last week-end and a new record was set by George Harrington when he ran the 100 yard dash. Another record was broken when jean Lake won the women's 100 yard dash. Eunice Mominee also placed high. A new game was added this year, a horse race called the Olympic Derby, which was won by Dyna- mite Senior owned by Mary Arter. Mary raises horses on her ranch, the Bar B-Q, in Colorado. 27 Senior Prophecy Tonight is the grand opening of Radio City Music l-Iall's present season featuring Earl West's Stairstep Rockettesf' Bill Warnke is the co-director and has charge of the back row.

A recent notice says that the Sun Oil Company is now under new management. Dick Purdy took over complete control this afternoon. That prominent doctor, Mary Lou Appleman, has opened her clinic in Pennsyl- vania. Already it is a big success and people say it will make great competition for the Mayo Brothers. Two of its most eH'icient nurses, Elsie Dippman and Eleanor Joehlin, are one reason for its rising success. Calhoun's Models are gaining fame all the time. Some of the latest to achieve fame are Ginny Perry, Marilyn Bury, Berlyn Neal, and Milka Stoycheff who sing in the Riobama Club in the evenings. Glenn only started this business about a year ago and already it is nationally known. Grace Wagner's hot dog stands are expanding in key cities all over the country. She has now enlarged her managing staff with Marian Roberts, Helen Erdman, and Eileen Bartow.

No, the-re's more to it than that. Let's leaf through the Book of Yesteryear and discover the events of the past. CHAPTER I The Beginning of Our High School Career It all began back in the year of 1943, when 135 greenhorns flooded the halls of Dear Old Clay. To us life seemed to be at it's most difficult stage. Getting acquainted, locating our various rooms, becoming accustomed to our schedule. All this and more, added to the great task set before us. As days passed the burdens began to lighten. A few more weeks escaped and the time came to elect class officers. Nom- inations were rnade, ballots were passed out, votes were counted and as a result the freshmen class officers were: President, Ruth Thomas, Vice-president, jim Klotz, Sec- retary, Shirley Lang, Treasurer, Richard Warkentien. Our student council representa- tives were: Rolland Turnow, Kenneth Vilhauer, William Hagen, Rita Hastings. Our helpful faculty advisors were: Mr. Stevenson, Mrs. Spear, Mr. Pyle and Mr. Hartsook. Before we knew it the year was over. CHAPTER II A Grand Title In 1944 we secured our grand title of Sophomores . We felt almost grown up because we were the upper classmen of the lower hall. We elected officers again, and the results were: President, jim Muir, Vice-president, Joanne Moritz, Treasurer, Donna Navarre, Secretary, Rita Hastings. Our Student Council representatives were: Alton Brown, joe Veselka, jim Klotz, and Emil Reisner. We secured an enormous treasury by selling magazines as we had done the previous year. We enjoyed having Miss Barss, Miss Hinz, Miss Bodle, and Miss Zimmerman as our faculty advisors. Days came and days went and sooner than expected June 1 had arrived which meant vaca' tion time again. CHAPTER III An Exciting Year September here so soon? But why should we care. This is our most exciting year. Class rings! Parties! Prom! and everything to make this our most happy and most wonderful school term of all. Of course, we realize there will be a great deal of work, but we're more than willing to put our best foot forward and to coop- erate to the best of our ability, because we have so many other pleasant things to look forward to. As this being our third year to vote, the results were: President, joe Veselka, Vice-president, Joe Simon, Treasurer, William Kleine, Secretary, Rita Hastings. We needed reliable Student Council members so we elected Emil Reisner, jim Klotz, Jim Muir, Alton Brown, Karl Loveland, and Donna Navarre. We appreciate having Miss Ray, Mr. McCabe and Mr. Greenler as our class advisors and are hoping to reach the goal we so very much want to reach. ' CHAPTER IV What's this! An empty page? Of course! We're only Juniors. There is still another thrilling year ahead of us. Will this page ever be filled? You bet it will, and with loads of interesting things done by the Juniors of this year who will be Seniors next year. 31 Juniors t t -at 'fe . -at I if w a xg M eg tn , t i f . g . Q ' wr F' ' 1 A' .

Faces shining and hair slicked back, they came from Clay Elementary, Coy, jerusa- lem, and Wynn schools in fulfillment of that eight year dream. They were high school students! Interpreters of their desires, their hopes, and their beliefs were their representa- tives to the Student Council, Dick Livingston, Don Breese, Martin Freshour, and Kenneth Ritter. As the year continued and they could walk through the halls without being fright- ened to death at the sight of a Senior, the group elected its class officers. Maurice Vonck was elected president because of his ability as a leader. Irene Meyer was chosen vice-president, Helen Brown, secretary. and Richard Freshour. treasurer. Suddenly-and with a few of us still wondering how it happened-we were Sopho- mores! Now we could feel sorry for the next group of Freshies to arrive. Two of our Council members, Dick and Don, were re-elected, along with the new members, George Hauter and Betty Parker. In October class officers were chosen. Kenneth Ritter was elected President, Gene Mills, Vice-president, janet I-lintz, secretary, and Dick Freshour, treasurer. With our junior year just around the corner, we look back on our second year at Clay, and know it was well worth the effort, the study, the worry, and the coming ot' tests. All of us are anxiously awaiting next year when we will be upperclassmen. Then will come the thrill of class rings and proms, and the privilege of looking down at the poor little Freshmen and Sophomores. 34 ophomnres , gg:-Q , 5 r wt ,t 'fi if .

Ever since the first grades in our elementary school educa- tion we had been looking forward to entering Clay High School. Now it has finally come to pass. On the morning of September 10, 1945 one hundred fifty freshmen en- tered the portals of higher learning at Clay. The Student Councilmen were our guardian guides until we were reasonably sure of ourselves. XY!hen we became accustomed to the mysteries of high school life, we held our first meeting for the purpose of organizing ourselves as a freshmen class. Donna Mc- Clintock was chosen as president, john Cavas as vice-president, George Ackerman as secretary and Dale Seckinger as treasurer. Also on this date a proposition was put be- fore the freshmen class to raise money for our treasury. Accepted, it proved very successful. . The Student Councilmen who represented us were Pat Daney, Helen St. john, Dale Seckinger, and Lester Meier. As the year progressed, the freshmen increased in wisdom and were gradually accepted as true members of the Clay High student body. Very soon we will be re- ferred to as upper classmen rather than freshmen and will be replaced by another class. If the other three years we are to spend in high school are as successful as the first, they will indeed be something to look forward to. The faculty advisors of the freshmen class were Mrs. Spear, Mr. Pyle, Mr. Hart- sook, and Mr. Needles who was replaced by Mr. Deter upon release from the Navy. 37 Freshmen K 'lie' l W J if A K .i , , a ii fe 1 f ' 1 M Wi - Aim, lj .4 ' ' , -V W ra f x 1' Q.

Busy bees in the Clay Hi hive, members of the Student Council this year fre- cluently turned social butterflies to provide monthly dances and fun for the students in the belief that all work makes jack a dull boy. On the serious side, council members sold war bonds, held pep meetings and assemblies, provided the monitor system, kept up-to-date records of service men and honor rolls, sold ice cream, and assisted the faculty in the general business of the school.

The purpose of this club, as the name implies, is to promote the literary interests of the girls. The secondary purpose is to teach good fellowship, consideration of others, the value of co-operation and commendable school spirit. Nihil sine labore is the motto of the club which is Latin, meaning Nothing without labor.

Mrs. Osgood didn't know what she was getting into when she sent her two debu- tante granddaughters for a summer at the seaside, chaperoned by a very stern governess. She also invited her grandnephew, That Boy Jimmie to go along. That Boy Jimmie was really That Girl Jemima because she turned out to be Jimmie's sister in disguise. Boy or girl, Jimmie had a full time schedule that summer, encouraging the grand- daughters to rebel against the unjust rule of their governess, helping the family fortunes by giving shore dinners, winning a sailing race for a wealthy neighbor, and above all restoring the health of Mark Eno whose nerves were almost completely lost. Mark and Jimmie became very good friends after a while, and even more so when he found out that Jimmie was a girl. Grandmother Osgood saved the day by returning and dismiss- ing Miss Gibbs. At last the girls could live their own lives, and even Grandmother found a new interest in life when she met Mr. Eno, the retired manufacturer. All's Well That Ends Well, and that summer certainly did for everyone except Miss Gibbs. 51 Latin Club - .P.Q.R.
