School Song We’re loyal to you, Elsberry High. To you we’ll be true, Elsberry High. We’ll bank you to stand ’Gainst the best in the land, For we. know you have sand, Elsberry High. Rah! Rah! So fight with your might, Elsberry High Our team is our fame protector, On boys for we expect a VICTORY, from you, Elsberry High. 2 In Memoriam Shirley Barnes No man is an Island, entire of itself: every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lessee.. Any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls for thee. 4 JOHN DONNE MR. H. L. PURDIN Missouri University Superintendent MR.

PENNY AND FAMILY SUPER GAS THE ELSBERRY DEMOCRAT WHITESIDE RFXALL DRUG 12 ELVA’S BEAUTY SHOP Senior Class Prophecy of 1956 A few weeks ago I chanced to visit Hollywood, California. I rented an apartment and my first thought was to stock it with food. Within a few blocks of my quarters I found what was proudly advertised as the “Worlds Largest Grocery Mart. ' I had to cash some traveler’s checks, and was sent to the managers office. Imagine my surprise to discover that the owner and manager was Bob Ray. Having heard that other menbers of the 1956 senior class had migrated westward, I inquired of Bob if he knew where any of the others might be found. He said, “Look upstairs on our second floor. I believe you’ll find it rather unique for Super - Market equipment. ' I went up in the elevator and discovered the world's largest gymnasium, where coach Dale Ray was working out with his professional basketball team, the Hollywood Hoot-Owls. Team Manager was Hector “Hot-Rod Segress, a prominent West-Coast sports- car enthusiast and racing driver. He volunteered to escort me on a tour of some of the major movie studios. At Warner Brothers we were permitted to watch the shooting on a new movie, starring Charlotte Ann Reed, billed as the new answer to Marilyn Monroe. She is said to be the most phenomenal new talent that has recently been discovered. After leaving the movie set, we were shown through the wardrobe department which is capable managed by another former Elsberry girl, Jean Austin, who is said to know more about clothes of all ages than anyone else in Hollywood. As we left the movie lot, I bought a newspaper, in which a headline attracted my attention. Clara Bange, it informed me, had just become the women's figure skating champion, (inter- national, that is) in the Winter Olympics. The article quoted an interview with her which said, “I owe it all to athletic training I got at EHS. Having seen enough of Hollywood, I decided to fly to New York. Boarding a huge TWA Transport, I was greeted by a pleasant stewardess, who turned out to be Barbara McKinney of the class of 56. I have always been a little shaky about flying, but was able to relax when I found that the plane was piloted by the capable Captain Billy Cunningham. When I alighted at La Guardia Airport I was hungry, and went into a large Modernistic restaurant built entirely of pink transparent plastic. A bronze plaque on one of the panels proclaimed that the design was that of a well-known woman architect, Mary Alice Sherman. The original design is said to have been projected on the drawing boards of Mrs. Ash's art room at the Elsberry School. From the kitchen issued the most beautiful of odors. I ate a wonderful steak and inquired the name of the chef who prepared so delicious a morsel. Imagine my surprise to discover that the chef was a woman Sylvia Graham! Famous for her fine recipes since 1956, her last year in the Elsberry Home Economics department. I asked to see her, and she took a little time off from managing her busy kitchen to talk to me. She told me that if I had time to go over to the harbor I might be able to see the newest battleship in the U. S. War Fleet. Of particular interest was the fact that it is the flagship of Admiral Ann Mae Brand--the first woman Admiral of the U. S. Navy. She also told me that Donna Marie Gray was writing a syndicated broadway gossip column, having succeeded Dorothey Kilgallen in the hearts of New Yorkers. I decided to return to Elsberry, and having a few hours to kill before my flight would be called I decided to see a movie. I discovered the Esquire Theatre which I attended was one of a chain owned by Joyce Hartigan, who had built up a corporation owning 500 theatres beginning with the one in Elsberry acquired in 1958. At the Lambert airport, where I landed in St. Louis, I was intrigued by heavenly piano music piped over a powerful PA system. On inquiry I found that it was the music of Mrs. Sherie Cox Reed, who in addition to rearing a large and happy family operates a large piano salon in St. Louis. I hurried on out to Elsberry, where the first neon sign I spotted shouted to the world that you could get anything--but anything at Harry Lawson's Scramble Store. 13 At the High School, I stepped into the gym, to find Coach Charley Hammack on duty. He told me if I would step into the office I could meet Professor Joseph Wayman, the new Superintendent of Schools. At the desk where Isabel used to sit, I discovered Coletta Overton who has been the capable secretary for the past five years. Sylvia Emerick Cox is head of the English Depart- ment. I was invited to lunch at the home of the Jim Ross . Mrs. Ross will be remembered as Joyce Davis. She turned on the television set. We saw “I’ve Got a Secret”. On the panel Deanna Green who has replaced Fave Emerson in that show, was answering questions. It is said that several months passed before the viewers noticed the change! There was a commercial for a new motion picture, “The Great Lover”, starring Yvonne Lawson, who has been called the Missouri Mamie Van Doren. Downtown at the Miller Furniture Store, I saw a sleeping man on a comfy-looking bed in the window. It was Jon Palmer, who has been for several years the Midwest’s best-known mattress tester. He says it allows 18 to 20 hours of sleep each day. A little farther down .the street was a big, brightly-painted building housing the Sharpe Chevy Sales. Sure enough, it was owned by our old friend, Gary Sharpe, I went in to see him, and found him cheerful and properous. He said that the only way he could always drive new Chevies was to own a garage full of them. I found out that Barbara Lonsberry was visiting at home after a tour of all the major theatres of Europe. She is known as the “Female Benny Goodman” and her clarinet playing is famous all over the world. Her sister-in-law, Joyce Lovelace Long, plays the drums in her band, and is said to be the only woman who can play drums like Gene Krupa. Lewis Trescott has a big shop where he rebuilds wrecked cars. “Wrecks”, he says, “are cheaper by the dozen”. Julie Steavenson Wayman is the mother of a happy family, and has an orchid-growing greenhouse for pastime. Mrs. Evelyn Taylor Pflasterer keeps books for her, when she can get time off from her family, which by now numbers nine. I spent some time thinking what a wonderful class that had been in 1956, but I had yet to hear of the most illustrious of all--Darlene Rimel. She says, “Missouri has always been called the ‘Show Me state. Now, we’re going to show them”. Written by John M. Harris COMPLIMENTS OF MILLERS FUNERAL HOME MISSOURI EDISON CO.
