FEBRUARY Uur Town The 1948 Owl Staff invites you to return with us to a period of years in the not-too-distant past. In this year of which we are now a part, on the hanks of the Missouri River, the start of a town is heing vnade. Up and down the mighty waters, we see thern-steainhoats, flathoats, lusty-throated river swains, tugs, smoke, hunters, fur traders, and later husinessnien hent on a future and over it all the huhhling ex- uherance ofhthe rnid-west, the core of our nation. As we follow our lowly landing, we note with certain pride the enlarging? of docks, the pushing inward of trade, and, soon, the huildings appearing short distances inland, and here too, the saine spirit that huilt Ainerica for a eoinrnon goal. Yes, as we follow this we find quite a colorful hackgroundg we find a comrnu- nity, a settlement growing into a town, we see this town, with its nrst few smoke stacks and paved streets gradually hecoining a city, We see that city, its industries growing with every day, we see the construction of hoines, the rolling of hlaek snzoke, the advent of education, the growth of churches. We see the grain and the reservoirs, the gleaming train tracks and whirr of planes from the airjield. And then we see that city with the turning years, sending out its hoys to pre- serve that freedoin upon which it was huilt. We see the smoke rolling day and night, the whistles at the close of the regular day now only hring a second group to start another day rather than end one. And we see the sons coine hack--most of -5... ' J ' new , 4, X ffw N1 V, them. And in the eyes of each we see the wonder and miracle of being returned to this place, for we have our own peculiar pride in our town, and we pay homage to those who could not return to it. Bzzt this is 1948. Has the srnolze stopped rolling, have the wheels faltered, have our builders relaxed? No-because in 1948, the history of our city has, as yet, only lvegun to he written. From our town, Northtown, has come those things worthwhile in all things, for here we find wheat and inills and factories, trains and schools and churches, the friend- liness of a small town, the industry of a thriving metropolis. Yes, here lies the story of our town-and it is to this city and their people that we, the Owl Staff, dedicate this 1948 Owl, to North Kansas City, who in 1943 can point with pride to its industries and institutiorrs and an even brighter future light- ing the path to a better world ahead.

There she has huilt the foundation for good citizenship in the cominunity, America, anal the worlel. In our school there is a course in literally every fielil to which a youth might wan: to turn for fame and fortune. Regula- tion husiness courses as well as the speech, journalisnz, dll!! music flepartlnents all lenrl thenzselves to the coinplex pattern of life in our town. Perhaps the uzost valuable of all these, however, is the association of one student with another, for therein our fu- ture citizens gain training and experience in living with their fellow-men and huilfl- ing sirle hy siile for the future of North Kansas City.

They have tried and succeeded thus far, and many will still try, through higher education, to better prepare themselves for their coming responsibilities.

' -17- Senior Class Histor 011115130 Well, gollyl Here I am, a senior, with my 1948 Owl in my handl I can hardly believe it - why, it seems like only a few days ago when we came here to Northtown High filled with excitement, expectancy, and yes, a little bit of fear. Say, how I remember that September, 194411 We elected George Watkins as our freshman president. Iohn Schelstrate and lim Churchill were first and second vice presidents, Howard Morton was secretary and Norma McCarty was treasurer. Under their able leadership we did lots of worthwhile things. Anita Newhard and Bill Alexander were elected presidents of our freshman chap- ters of Girl Reserves and Hi-Y and the freshman play was a dilly! Oh yes, Richard Watson played the lead as a football hero. Alfred Conway and jim Churchill won gold basketballs, too, that year when our freshman team played at Wil- liam Iewell College in a junior tournament. It was along about then that Alfred started his athletic career at N. K.C.H.S. as a four-year letterman because in the spring he lettered in track, becoming a shining prospect for our future teams. I remember an assembly we had, too, when Bernice Huffman, Helen Taylor, and several others of G.A.A, romped through a play depicting Little Lulu's Escapadesf' All year of course, we had a wonderful time as the school babies and-then, lo and behold! we were sophomores! My, how grown-up we felt! This time the girls took the lead and Yvonne Yeager was elected class president, helped along by vice-presi- dent, jim Churchill, secretary, David Rapp, and Alfred Conway, sergeant at arms. lt was this year, too, that Gertie Thompson and Doris West were elected cheerleaders to serve the next year with their senior sisters. Of course, if we were thrilled to become sophomores, we were certainly overjoyed when we came back in September, 1946, as juniors. And what a year it proved to bel First off, we elected Alfred Conway to head our class and his cabinet came in this order: Chuch Rhoades, vice president: Mary Frances Maack, secretary-treasurer, David Rapp, sergeant at arms. Not long afterward Ger- maine Strobbe and Richard Watson became Y-Teen fthe Girl Reserves changed their namel and Hi-Y presidents, and the year was started with a bang! Honor and a gold key came early to jo Stockwell on his painting in an exhibit in the Regional Scholastic Awards contest held in Kansas City. Bonnie Miller, also a junior, gained honorable mention in the same show. Then joe Darby and Norma Ruthe Rosendale put forth their literary efforts and were rewarded with election as co-editors of the Hornet's Buzz as well as becoming the third and fourth ever to make Quill and Scroll, honorary fraternity for high school journalists, in their junior year in Northtown High. And oh, how I remember the junior Play! Strictly Formal was presented by fifteen juniors plus stage crews and Miss Fulton, Miss Mcliemy, and Miss Hutcherson. Marilyn Shook, Lois Scott, Vera Harris, Dale Divelbiss, Howard Morton, and Roger Smarr gave some of the most convincing performances. Soon after, Masque and Gavel, heretofore boasting only one junior, Melba Cantrell, adopt- ed eight more junior dramatistsf' i945 found the N Club, too, with several juniors as members, climaxing a year of successful athletics. On November 13, Howard Morton and Chris Davison received awards for proficiency in discussion at 'Wai- rensburg, Missouri. The debate team, with juniors Howard Morton and Norma Ruthe Rosendale, won the Northwest Missouri Debate championship and took part in the All-State Tourney at Columbia, Missouri. . And, natch, one of the outstanding events of the year was the Prom which the juniors gave for the sen- iors. Io Stockwell and Marvin Stott, acting' as head of the planning committees, were largely responsible for a super Prom in an undersea setting ruled over by King Neptune. The seniors claimed to have had a lovely time dancing to the music of Warren Durett and his orchestra, drinking punch, and enjoying the lavish decorations. Then in early spring the girls had something a little new in the form of the Girls' Intramural Track Meet, the first of its kind at Northtown High. Diane Templeton, girl athlete and a junior, won the meet. As the year began ,coming to a close the class began to make arrangements for the coming year. Lois Scott and Benny Barrera were elected and installed as general presidents of Y-Teens and Hi-Y for 1947-487 Mary Ellen Anderson and Norma Ruthe Rosendale were chosen to head the new Owl Staff as editors fcr the sen- icr yearp Mary Gladys Fletcher was voted head cheer- leader to be aided by Mary F. Maack, Sis Yeager ,Gertie Thompson, and Doris jean West: the Pep Squad chose Melba Cantrell as their president: and perhaps the big- gest election came with the student body presidency campaign in April. Alfred Prexy Conway became presi- dent and Howard Morton was elected vice president. And now-here I am a senior with all the happenings of another year to hold dear and happily, andl wouldn't have it otherwise. W IDC ' A .

W - A I City Government and Professions In our town, Northtown, big business and industry play leading roles. Here you find the true meaning of industrial leader- ship, for the factories have surely made our city. Our industries have proved them- selves a vital part, for with the growth of population and trade our business world has kept abreast of the times. We who know Northtown will never forget its activity--the clear factory whistle, the bank doors opening as you walk down the .street in the morning, the faint smell of smoke from the factories blotted out 'ino- 'menlarily as you pass the aromatic bakery. No, nor will we forget the friendly svnile of the steel worker as he boards the bus, or the grin of the soda jerk at the favorite fountain. . All these things are a part of the gigan- tic thing that is our town, its business and its industry.

You can always find numerous types of minor sports going on in Northtown. The Community Y is a great promoter of recreational activities anrl sports in the coin- munity. Northtown without these activ- ities woula' he a :full town, hut since we are all out for these activ- ities-our community rates as the hest. .

Keith played a remarkable game on defense also. I-le is a 2-year letterman, and stands 6 feet as a junior. Charles Rhocrds, co-captain and guard, was a real ball hawk and his tireless playing pulled several games out of the fire. Rhoads is a senior who stands 5' lU and is a two-year letterman.

V The season on royalty offi- cially opened with the crowning of Queen Yvonne Sis Yeager at the Homecoming game. Yvonne, ifivacious brunette, did honor to her long line of predecessors at Homecoming time. Attendants 'u'e:'e Mary Frances Maacla, Lois Scott, Lola Hicks, and Mary' Gladys Fletcher. Then at the annual Halloween Festival sponsored by the Lions Club, jean Gerard, blonde senior beauty, was crowned Queen and given a trip to the New Year's Sugar Bowl Game in New Orleans. And then the fitting climax on March 19, when still another queen, this time brown-haired and lovely, graced the throne of our royal Uflllju and Norma Ruthe Rosendale reigned over the 1948 OWL. She was attended by Lola Hicks, Gen- eva Lawrence, Mary F. Maacla, and Mary Gladys Fletcher. Yes, it can truly be said that Northtown has her share of civic beauty, as these pages aptly prove.

M fy xii 64 I wt t 'CD' LJ X 2 MARY FRANCES NIAACK LOLA HICKS MARY GLADYS FLETCHER GENEVA LAUVRENCE Senior Prophecy Vfhile walking through Our Town of the Future, we are able to see that the students of the class of l948 have taken their places as citizens in the various communities throughout the United States. . We find that the students have established, shall we say, prominent positions and places of business such as lim Langhus, who is now, the official photographer for Esquire magazine and it is rumored he enjoys it very much, especial- ly the Christmas calendar assignments. Next to the photography shcp we pass by the King-Ready dress shop. Phyllis and Karleen are busy des-igning burlap bags and feed sacks to have the newest look. Then suddenly we hear a terrific Wooshll-and then a stream of flying colors. Was it a plane or a bird? No. lt was Billy lo tEarsl Alexander on the latest jet scooter whizzing through tovtm. I-le's now a messenger boy for Western Union. As we journey on down the streets, we hear a feeble cry of Newspapers, newspapers and then we are surprised 'to see Roger- Smarr walk up and sell us one. His tactics of salesmanship certainly proved successful. On buying a paper, we find that Ice Darby is the editor of The Daily Disappointment. Every paper has a financial backer, and this one certainly needs one. Dale Divelbiss claims that title. r Looking through the-files of the Our Town paper we see that the old graduates of 1948 have provided some excitement. Chris Davison is making trips to various mental institu- tions. She is supposed to be a pyschiatrist but we know why she goes to those placest' She favors St. joe because it is close to home. Thumbing through the paper we stop at the society page and notice that some of the girls who were engaged in high school have had a reunion to discuss various things. They have formed the Engaged in l947 or Before Club . and the members are the former Norma McCarty, Yvonne Yeager, Peggy Fox, and Jeanne Biggs. Making her debut tonight at the Music Hall is 'Betty Green. She will sing some cf the great song hits of 1948, such as: Civilization, Pass that Peace Pipe, and l'm My Own Grampaf' Also announced on this page is the fact that Kathleen Prunty will make her umpteenth concert tonight on Station U-No. Since Northtown excelled in sports we turn to the sports edition and in 24 inch headlines we see that Leon Turner and Ronald Edmondson are up to their old tricks at breaking re- cords again as they did in their high school days.. This time they are at the National Olympic contests. They each have broken world records in everything that is possible for them to break including some waxed disks. . Also in the sports field back in the United States we see that Diane Templeton is touring the country to select girls for an All-American girls' basketball team. Due to the experience he acquired with the N. K. C. Hor- nets, David Rapp has recently been appointed manager to one of the bestlbaseball teams in the United States--namely, the Kansas City Blues. --80 On the last page of our newspaper we have the enter- tainment and radio programs listed. There is a story of Ray Bergstron, who is- going to play two pianos spaced 20 yards apart. How can he perform this remarkable feat? We don't know, but you know Ray. BOOM! What was that? We forgot to tell you but we just passed the We'll Send You Out cf This World Company and it is possible that they will do just what the name cf their firm implies. lim Churchill, owner of the plant, just re- layed the word to us that two of his chemists, Iohn Allen Evans and Eric 'Walthers were experimenting on a secret formula. The object of the experiment was to try and put school subjects like history, English, math, etc. into capsules that would be taken every hour. They have a different color for each subject. That way students should have no home- work nor bad grade cards. The experiment so far has failed. Too badl There Lola Hicks and Frankie Maack have made a go of business. Over the door is a sign with their motto- Buy Bub Bubble Gum For Bigger Better Bubbles. They have their own secret formula which Billy Willoughby discovered. Her in- spiration was sore jaws. On the other side of the street there is the commercial building where some of the alumni of 1948 have made their offices. This building was designed by Ray Sayles and consists of conveyor belts which will take you to the various rooms. Bay never did like to walk more than he had to. Why, there's Berni-ce Huffman bus-y at leer books with numbers and figures. She puts them on the debit or credit side when ever she want to. After all it is not her money. ,. Glenn Calhoun works here, sometimes. He is here all the time. but works sometimes. Right now he is- over by the water cooler figuring the amount of molecules in the water. It is more interesting than water. After all, just think how many of those things you drink, but who can drink money? Clara Childers, Vcna Mae Kennedy and Marjorie Michaels are the secretaries at this building but they usually have con- ferences with each other every minute' on the minute. There are the tyrfists-, Mary Nell Weber, Vivian Williams and Marylin Little who unlike the secretaries don't have a conference every minute: but every minute and seven seconds on the minute and three seconds. jumping on the conveyor belt we are out on the street again. Next to the commercial. building is the Mi-Ek-La Art Shcp where Bonnie Miller, Norma Eklund, and Genie Lawrence per- form tasks that have to do with art. Anything from painting billboards to making fancy leather shoes for a centipede. Here comes Anita Newhard with 17, yes l7 children. Anita is a superintendent at an orphanage which takes care of all homeless children, dogs, cats, and even men. There is a kindergarten in the orphanage with Bette McKeelian in charge. Well, we have finished our visit throughout Our Town and will have to end our visit.
