Bright colored streamers and merry music set the scene for every0ne's happy mood. People entering the door were greeted with handfuls of confetti and the blaring of horns and whistles. Vlfonderful prizes were given for Bingo, Ring Toss, Dart Board, and Fish Pond. One could amuse himself by pitching pen- nies or having his fortune told. And if you listened intently you could hear squeals of delight and laughter echoing from the Fun House. Mouth-watering eats of hot. dogs, pop, ice cream, potato chips, popcorn, coffee and doughnuts enticed people to forget their diets. One could relax and chat with his friends in the dining room which, when closely inspected, was revealed as the shop room. Votes for the King and Queen, and tickets for the ratfle and dance, were sold at the ticket booth near the entrance of the ballroom. At 10:00 o'clock came the opening bars of the first dance number of the evening. Happy couples danced to and fro to the lively rhythm ot' the local orchestra. The Grand March, starting at 11:00 o'clock, was led by the Carnival Queen. Jo Ann Asfalg, and Carnival King, Carl Kerbs. The Queen and her attendants were attired in pastel formals and crowns of white carnations. The King and his attendants were suits and carnation boutonnieres. The closing triumph of the march was the releasing of the hundreds of balloons from the center of the ceiling. At 2:00 o'clock, tired but happy people made their way homeward after a hilarious evening. This was quite an undertaking for the Seniors, but proved to be successful both financially and socially. kfN JUNICDR RROM The tenth of May found the Junior Rose Prom, in honor of tl1e Seniors. held at the community building. Formaled girls and their escorts danced to the dreamy orchestra music under the decorations of roses, carried out in the colors of rose, green and white. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom Queen and King, Helen Hanson and Billy Hrdlicka, who led the Grand March. Page Eighteen JUIXIICDIQ-SENIGQ BANQUET The rose banquet in honor of the Seniors was held at the Church Annex, April the 11th. A theme of rose, green, and white was carried out by candle light and roses. Place cards and programs followed the theme. The program was carried out during' the dinner. The wel- come was given by the Junior class president, Jessie Lee Edgar, and the response by the Senior president, Ralph Moore. Carl Kerbs was toastmaster of the evening. Shirley Allard sang the Wllosc of Tralee. A trumpet solo was played by Jaqueline Hoover. Naclene Chedsey played a piano solo, and a humorous skit was acted out. A movie at the Park Theatre brought the evening to a close. kfN SOIDI-IOMCDIQE TEA The Seniors of 1947 were honored at the annual Sophomore Tea, May 11, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert li. Asfalg. The Sophomore hosts and hostesses were in formal attire. Upon arriving, the Seniors and their parents were greeted by a committee who presented the ladies with a white rose corsage, rose buttonaire for the men. Senior colors. of blue and silver were carried out at the tea table, the centerpiece was ot' blue and silver, with spring flowers and white candles at each end.

This was a happy change from our Hcannedn music. Many other parties were given through the year, including a Come As You Are party. Remember. Pleasant memories of each social event will linger in our minds for many years to come. NVe were fortunate in having so many.

AIYUKPA 0 1947 VALEDICTCDRY IIELEN IIANSON Ladies and Gentlemen: lt becomes my duty to bid you farewell for the class of 1947 of Jackson County High School. To all those who have come to witness our graduation, friends, teachers, and fellow students, it is my privilege to give a last greeting. Commencement, so long looked forward to, will soon be one of the treasured memories of the past. Graduation from high school presents a unique challenge. lt seems we have suddenly stepped on the threshold that leads i11to a world of enchanting interests and mystic uncertainty. At this time let us resolve to be worthy of the training we have received in this school. This education in this school in this nation is the finest gift from you our parents and the people of North Park, to us. No class in history has ever looked upon a world so torn apart by its own destruction as the world we face today. No other class has ever faced such great opportunities to assist in creating a new world, a world in which there can be peace, prosperity, happiness and harmony. It is our impression that no other class has ever been able to see so clearly the difference between what is good and what is bad for man is welfare, at no other time in history has there ever been presented such boundless possibilities for useful careers. Some of us who graduate today have completed our formal education be- cause we are anxious to go to work. Others will continue their education through college. Regardless of the future of individuals, we are all aware that this is an extraordinary time to be graduating from high school. NVe are greatly challenged by the responsibilities and opportunities that lie before us. ln America we have always believed that education is the greatest gift of a nation to its youth, and that upon this gift depends our way of life. Thomas Jefferson expressed this view when he said, Ulf the people expect to be free and independent, and at the same time ignorant and il'iterate, they are expecting something that never has been or never will be. School life aims to fit youth to participate actively in community affairs, to cooperate and at the same time to tl1i11k independently, to assume responsi- bility and help solve problems, to take part i11 school government, to win honors and to suffer consequences of mistakes. Such training has been a basic element in the growth of our country and it constitutes the greatest gift of the people to the youth of any country. XVe cannot be responsible for events of the past, but we will be responsible for the events of our own generation. VVe are on the frontiers of thought for a Page Forty one AIYUKPA 0 I947 new generation. Before us are strange oceans of thought or achievements to be crossed. Each of us feels that he is a new Magellan looking out upon a 11ew world of possibilities and human relations to be circumnavigated. There is an old intelligence test which we would all do well to ponder. Suppose we 001110 to four cross-roads. Vile are without a map and the signpost is lying in a ditch. How are we to tell where the different roads lead? The answer is that since, persumably, we know where we came from we have only to raise the signpost and point the finger having the name of the place which we came from in the right direction and all the other three fingers will automatically come into place. From American history we have learned where the American way of life came from. Vile have learned of the basic importance of giving a good education free to every person and then let nature take its course among people who can read. write, speak, and go to church as they please. If times of turmoil and uncertainty come again we of this generation also may occasionally have to bring the signpost out of the ditch and point one finger back over the progress which has been made in America before our time in order that we may again see clearly where we want to go from where we are. As this graduation formality comes to its closing minutes we are overtaken by a complex mixture of feelings. VVe regret to be leaving this association, both pleasant and important in our lives. Vile look back over the years and find that our school days have been Hllappy days of golden treasure, VVork and play in equal measure. ' Vile resolve to be worthy of the training we have had. VVe are looking anxiously into the future. The Senior Class of 1947 says farewell. kf'N Mr. Lepponen: Can anyone tell me the definition of the word echo? Bill H.: The only thing that can cheat a woman out of the last word. Wilbur: Helen, do you know the definition of a hug? Helen Alice: No, what is it? VVilbur: A round-about way of expressing affection. Yesterday we heard the very last one about our absent minded professor. He slammed his Wife and kissed the door. Page Forty-two AIYUKPA 0 up 1947 SALUTATCDRY Doms IIAKONSON To the friends gathered here, to the teachers who l1ave been our guides, it is 1ny privilege to extend a most cordial welcome. NVe greet you with lasting gratitude and high respect, for it is due to your toil and sustaining interest in our behalf that we are ready to graduate today. XVe leave in good hands the halls that we have known so long and grown to love so much, for the class that is to take cur place here is well worthy of the privileges that have been ours. The faculty who has worked to make this day possibe for us, we leave with a feeling' of appreciation and regret. VVe welcome our parents whose lasting faith in us reaches its fulfillment here today. Without their help and faith, this day would 11ot have been realized. There are many who believe that we who graduate today are stepping out into an era. which will witness greater changes in a shorter period of time than have ever occurred before. NYe feel that with the education we have had and that which we shall have in the future, we are prepared for these changes al- though we can not visualize what they are to he. YVe are aware, however, that in our lives and recent years there have been events so unbefievable as to rival myths and fairy tales. XVe face this changing' world before us not with cowardice but with eager- ness and we dedicate ourselves, our ambitions and our hopes to the task of peaceful living. ln this age in which we are to take our places, leadership must be based o11 ability to think of ways to maintain peace among nations. One of our hopes is to be such a leader or to follow those who ar-e. Our school life has taught us to think. to lead, and to follow. lVc who are to follow must think as clearly as those wl1o are to lead for it shall be our duty to choose an able leader. Our future world depends on the faith we have in each other, because only through faith and trust in our fellowmen can peace be achieved. Lack of faith leads to mistrust and that in turn leads to war. lVe must blot out hate and greed for our job is to add to the enjoyment and prosperity of all people everywhere. The future of all countries depends on the youth of today, upon our leader- ship, our ability to follow, our sense of responsibility and our determination to do good. NVe are stepping out of high school at a time when the world is facing revo- lutionary changes and this world awaits new men and new women. NVe must think clearly and have the courage of our convictions, for ours is a ,job of im- portance and it must be done to perfection if peace is to be our lot. As we come here today to graduate and to take up our burden, it is for us to dedicate ourselves to tl1e great task which is before us. The Class of 1947 invites you to participate in the formalities of our graduation exercises. Page Forty three AIYUKPA 0 I947 Page Fo CLASS I-IISTORY HELEN HANsoN BETTY lllILLER lVe, the Seniors of 1947. have, in a sense, had a great and glorious past. Great, because of the vast store of knowledge and experience we have acquired, and glorious because of the many good times we have had as a class. Of course, as a class, we have had our bad times also. But our little differences have al- ways been soon forgotten and laughed over afterwards. Let us go back in our memories of High School Days and recall some of the events that to us are now history. September, 1943. One of the outstanding events in any Freshman year is. of course, initiation. How well we remember the boys shivering in short skirts, and the girls struggling along in big overalls and heavy work shoes! lt was all fun, though. That was the year we had Economics! Algebra was an obstacle to be con- queredeand we conquered it---more or less! That year of 1943-1944 was the first chapter in our high school history- the first chapter of new relations. new surroundings. a11d new activities. September, 1944. Sophomore! How nice it sounded to be called Sopho- more! That was the year of our beautiful Sophomore Tea at Riley 's. lt was the social success of the year. , Many of us were in the one-act plays that year. lVe thought it fun. This was also the year the class of '47 sta1'ted their school parties, well known for the good times everyone had. By September, 1945. chapter two had its share of memories. lVe were coming up in the world. NVe were Juniors-upperclassmen. To live up to our title, we Banquet must entertain. So we did. That meant, of course, at the Prom and . Our starlight theme, carried cut both in the Prom hall and at the Banquet hall, was exquisite. Our Junior play was Hlntroducin' Susan. lt was a great success, prob- ably the most entertaining play given by our group. VVhat most of us will remeniber, however, from our memories of Juniors, is our following the '46 Seniors on their Sneak Day. lt was fun. and we had a great time catching the Seniors in Denver. September. 1946. At last the fateful year had come. Vile were to prepare for a new world of colleges and occupations. The date February 8, 1947, stands out in the memory of all. That was the evening of our beautiful carnival and dance. We were now the ones to be honored at the prom, banquet. and tea. Our play. Milly lVife's Family, was another laughing success. lVe had fun putting it on. Came the day for the Senior sneak and trip. Five fun-filled days were spent traveling and in Salt Lake City. 1-ty-four AIYUKPA O Q I947 May 15 was diploma day, the last chapter in our high school history. This was our graduation from old ties and the commencement of new relations, under new surroundings, and with new activities. It is interesting to note that only five of us have gone through all twelve years of school together. They are Carmen Hampton, Betty Miller, Helen Hanson, Darl Peterson, and Cebron Hanson, Clifford Cook, who has attended both grade school and high school here, joined us in the lower grades. Josephine Armstrong has been with us most of the time, with the excep- tion cf one semester each out of two years. Billy llrdlicka joined us in the third grade, while Max Riley became one of our class i11 the fourth grade. Doris Hakonson and Harold Anderson joined us as eighth graders, Most of the Class of '47 were born and raised in North Park. Several en- tered J. C. H. S. after graduating from surrounding elementary schools in the county. Shirley Haekley and Herbert Anderson came from Laliand. Vlfilbur McAllister and Ralph Moore are from Coalmont. Bette Lou Hoover and Neil R-eams attended the Haworth school. Mildred Turner represents Butler. Barbara Follett and Nancy Holden came from Cowdrey. Barbara Roberts entered J. C. ll. S. from lilarmington, New Mexico, as a Sophomore. Jackie Abbott entered as a -lunier from Laramie, lVyoming. So ends our High School Days. There may be good days ahead, but not better ones than we have enjoyed, there may be new groups for each to become a. part of, but there will never be, in its characteristics, another group quite like the one we 've been. g!'N CLASS PROPH ECY JACQUELINE ABBo'r'r NEIL Rants lVl1ile planning a. super duper political campaign at my temporary office: Abbott for Dogeateher Park Bench, Pershing Square, Los Angeles, a great com- motion e11sued. A tall Persian with a mournful chant was demonstrating the art of charming craven looking reptiles from the Far East. I ieecogniwi the Prophet as none other than a fellow graduate of the Class of '47, Engrossing ourselves in interesting conversation, the Prophet told me of a brand of magic carpets he had manufactured and was planning to put on the market in the near future. Thinking it a good political scheme, we wrote MAb- bott for Dogeatcher in large letters on the bottom of the carpet and soared skyward. l'pon making a tour of Los Angeles, l told the Prophet carpet fly- ing was the only way to travel. Prophet was very flattered. He suggested tour- Page Forty five AIYUKPA 0 9 l9l+7 0 ing' the world and finding' out what had happened to our fellow classmates in 20 years. As my business seemed to be Ucatching on, I agreed and we headed East. Cruising along' at 800 miles an hour we spied a cactus juice stand and felt the need of a. slight repast. Finishing our cactus juice, we felt very pricked up and started to leave. Out in the hot desert sun near the stand we spied a lady cow- poke on her trusty stecd. She shouted at us and to our surprise it was none other than Bobbie Follett. YVe discovered her happily married and turned cow- girl to try and keep her husband eorraled. After leaving Nevada. we found our- selves running low on Hi-fly-sky juice and stopped at Rangeley to refucl. At the oil field was a very small, oily character who greet-ed us as if she knew who we were. Vile discovered her to be Babs Roberts, successful derrick man for the Black and Gooey Oil Company. Carmen Hampton, spinster sheriff, mayor, constable, and fire chief. greeted us and told us as members of the class of '47 the town was at our disposal. That evening, feeling in the need of recreation, all members of our class had always felt, we headed right for the local theatre. Bill Hrdlicka, janitor, met us at the door and was very happy to reminisce with his good friend the Prophet Reams. Bill insisted upon taking us to his home for a midnight supper. Ralph Moore, the nationally known coal miner, was there and had a truly sad tale. The floalmont mines had gone out Cn strike and caused a nation-wide crisis. Ralph was in a very despondent mood and feared his 2-l children would die of starvation. Synipathizing with Ralph, we thanked Bill's pretty blond wife and de- parted. Before leaving North Park we learned Harold Anderson was now IILH11- ager of the Purple illlfl Gold General Merchandise. His secretary was Josephine Armstrong. lVhat we could not prophevy was will this secretary mar1'y her boss? Being unable to find this happy couple we left North Park and traveled southeast to Denver. Still feeling the need for entertainment. we decided to look around and see what fun we could derive from one of the nearby amusement parks. Riding the rolly coaster, rocket ships. and tilt-a-whirls. our stomachs felt like doing some- thing less strenuous. Boarding the Lakeside Express we found the conductor, engineer, fireman and brakeman to be one and the same. Also none other than our school day pal, Ceborn Hanson. Talking about school and the old days and friends, Cebe imparted the information that VVilbur McAllister had left for Vifiseonsin. lt seemed he wanted to get away from his Swedish friend 's influence. Stopping on the outskirts of Scotts Bluff. Nebraska, we encountered a circus. Here we found the one! only! Helen Alice, tight rope walker supreme. Missy Hanson was very happy to see us and we were readily entertained. Then she told us the story of her life, since graduation. A sad tale was unfolded. It told of the parting of her lover of high school days. He had left to see if he could get away from Swedish influence and forgot to return. She had taken to the road and circus life in a grievous moment. Her grief was overcome and she truly began to enjoy the life. Reaching NVisconsin, we searched high and low but were unable to find XVilbur McAllister. Just as we were leaving, a Paul Bunyon of the NVisconsin woods accosted us, we asked him directions. He greeted ua warmly and after Page Forty-six AIYUKPA 0 9 I947 our perplexity was overcome we realized we had at last met our objective. The Swedes had gained a foothold and NVilbur had changed his name to Mae NVil- burson, vowed never to return to the Swedes in North Park, and hidden his true identity. Leaving the South unexplored as yet, we decided to go to New Orleans and start our explorations from there. Who should we find in Orleans by Nancy Holden, now employed as a six-day bicycle racer. She was unable to stop racing and talk to us, but it was nice to see her again. Arriving in Kentucky, we found Darl Peterson. He fed us a delicious meal of preserved turnip greens and po'k chops. lt seemed he had gone into the dry farming business with Lil Abner Yokum. XVishing him success in winning Daisy Mae Scragg from his partner, Lil Abner, we left for Tennessee. Here we found Doris llakonson as a successful engineer of the new and better T. V. A. She was very prosperous and renowned for her ability in flood control and dam building. 'It seemed there were no more classmates in the ll. S. A., so we headed for New York to take off for Europe. lVe caused quite a commotion, and the mayor of New York and the New York welcoming committee held a reception in our honor. Bette Hoover was asked to come to our reception as one of New York 's more prominent society matrons. lYhen she discovered the Prophet a11d lady politi- cian were none other than Reams and Abbott unincorporated, she innnediately wanted us to come for a series of parties depicting the spirit of our class of '-17. To meet her family, to see her pet hobby purebred Holstein milch cows, and a variety of other things. lVe gracefully withdrew a11d started our trip across the ocean. Our trip across the ocean was without event and we arrived at England quite safe and sound. As we descended we were almost mobbed by a large crowd of people who had never seen a magic carpet, after much delay we finally broke away. VValking down main street, what should we see but a large theatre proclaiming that Herbert A. Laughter was now playing. On the marquee was a huge profile, it proclaimed that at least one member of the class of '47 would get his name in tl1e lights. Proceeding to Paris, we decided to see the sights before looking for fellow ahunni of J. C. H. S. On top of Eiffel Tower, much to our surprise, we found Milet Turplague and her wardrobe mistress, Sherl Hackley. Millie was speak- ing in a very Frenchy tone. lt seemed she was No. 1 French model for the gov- ernment and at the next patriots fashion show she wanted a hat fashioned after the tower. Sherl seemed truly stumped, ln Leningrad, a. tall Russian Uossack uniform was training some young ballet dancers on the public green. 'llhe sign said it was Clifford Cooksky school of modern ballet. NVe would have liked to speak to him, but as he was so busy it proved impossible. llis Hehorus girls were pretty and all seemed to be very infatuated with their instructor. Leaving the Soviet- Republic, we toek o11e of our longest trips. Following the Yangste river through Kuku Nor province we stopped at Ping To Village. A translator told us that the missionary woman had just left for Fu Fhow. If we hurried we perhaps could catch her and find out if she knew any Americans Page Forty seven AIYUKPA O I947 in the vicinity. Arriving in Fu Chow, we not only found the missionary, but she was Betty Miller. Feeling well rewarded for our Vhinese trip by Betty 's kind. pleasing way, we headed for the Pacific Ocean and Pershing Square. Only one member of the graduating class was missing from our tour. Merlin Peterson seemed to be nowhere ill our travels. As we descended upon Abbott for Dogeatcher Park Bench, we noticed an elderly gentleman seated there. He had white hair, a small goatee, and sideburns. To the amazement of both of us it was Pete. His financial worries had made him age rapidly and just as he had taken out his retirement, his brother Darl had written him of our visit. He had been sitting on the bench for three days waiting for our return. Thus making a perfect cycle of the graduating class of l47, we felt very rewarded to see them all in good health and attitude.

THE SEND JR VLASS By Joseplzine Arnzstrong Carmen Hunzpton Shirley Ilczrklffy Page Forty-nine AIYUKPA O 1947 CLASS PGEM The class I have to write about Of good old Jackson High, Has my mind so full of doubt Will all of this get by ? Jackie Ann is one we knew For gaiety and laughter. YVe'll all remember Bette Lou, The girl that Gib was after. Harold is the quiet lad, Who works part time at Cases. Max is always very glad To look at pretty faces. Helen is a cheerful blonde, Of course, she is a Swede, So also is her nephew, Whom we all know as Cebe. Herbert with his wavy hair, To parties brings his cousins. Shirley, with fanatic flare, Has boy friends by the dozens. Barbara R. is short and slim, Though she is always eating. Doris is so neat and trim, Pardon my repeating. XVilbur is our Romeo, So dark and tall and slim. Bill would never venture no To Joy Ann 's every whim. Josie is our dancing girl, The steps she knows them all. Milly gave the sports a whirl, For her the boys all fall. Nancy was a, friendly gal All through our high school days. Clifford is a lifelong pal, lVho knows that friendship pays. Carmen, with a quiet sigh, Lays down her book, The Killer Knows a phone she'll have to buy To hear the voice of Miller. Ralph's the one whom we all know As the Senior students' clown. Darl is not the type to crow, But nothing ever gets him down. Neil is shy and blushes quick, He 's generally most pleasing, The blush is just a little trick For he is always teasing. How to end this little poem I can 't think, so help me heaven, I'vc described them everyone, The entire Class of '47.
