HISTORY OF THE 'FORTY-NINERS' In the fall of 1937 a group of innocent children were on their way with the motto- Diplomas or Bust . Miss Teat met the South Enders with a gentle smile, Miss Heil welcomed the North Enders with yardsticks and rulers, for she forecast trouble with several outlaw cowboys. During the course of the year we all learned the beginning reading words and the basic colors. In the second year of our journey Little Red Lawrence joined the South Post from Columbus and i'Little Qand she always has beenj Wolfe came from Marion to the North Post. Miss Fritsche, from the Longfellow Wagon, had a getftogether at her home on the north trail our third year. Bob Smith, one of the Vine street wagoners, learned the dillerence between a paper wad and a spit ball, thanks to Dick Yantis. During the fourth year Anna Wiley hitched onto the South Wagon, while Buckin Baker, Slim Schick, and Katie McIntosh climbed aboard the North Vsfagon. At the same time Miss Baldwin had anyone who was chewing gum, stick it on his nose and stand in front of the class. I wonder if it was sticky, Lois Boehm? She also had Rovin Richardson, Lizzy Derivan, and Mitzy Freeman at the blackboard with their noses in little chalk circles. They just never could keep quiet. In the Hfth grade both schools started changing classes. Imagine going to classes double file and so quiet, too. But Phil Morris always found some diversion to keep it from becoming monotonous UQ. Columbus gave up Mac McAdams this year to the North Wzigtmii. The North Enders learned the world is round via Miss Moses and to think of your waistline as the equator fnot any more, huh, girlsffl. When we were sixth graders, Betty Childs came from Columbus and Jerry Shoaf, from Galena to join the North Wagon. The two wagons met at Park Street the seventh year and joined forces to make up the bestf?J senior class W.H.S. has ever seen. Wliat a delight it was to find we could go to classes at any speed we wanted just so we arrived within three minutes. Ah, at last we found that life was enjoyable! Abraham Lincoln tossed and turned in his grave as the eighth grade history classes gave The Gettysburg Address. Under Mr. Franklin's direction, we gave Johnny's Thanksgiving for Thanksgiving assembly. Our wagon grew by leaps and bounds as the Minerva Park and Central College Indians came to our wagon train. For the most part they were friendly, but Tinon and Roloson always have been troublesome. 'iMad Max Lineberger entered the train and became our first student leader. Big Bill Stark also entered this year. We enjoyed another hayride and had a picnic afterwards at Kreb's farm. Poor Marilyn Roberts had quite a time with her lipstick. We wonder if Cowboy Lawrence is still carrying it as a souvenir. Ah, at last we had attained the rank of sophomores, which to us meant no longer being pushed back down to Freshman Hall. Joyce Cook, Vivian Fuller, and Juanita Arnett joined the gold diggers this year. Bob Armstrong decided to hitch to the wagon, too. Charging Chet Freeman was chosen to be the leader of our band. The wagon train decided to stop along the way for a rest and to furnish enter' tainment for the group. Some of the fellow travelers gave the production Shiny Nose . jan Wcnlfe played the part of the spoiled teenfager and Bob Burk, the football hero. Since we enjoyed the play so much, we also participated in the operetta. There were so many who wanted to help that it was necessary to have two casts and two choruses. We were privileged to have the leading characters from our own little wagon train. They were: Slim Schick, 'LSal Keyes, and Marilyn The Kid Roberts. 17
