Senior Class FTER FOUR long hard years on the range, about one hundred twelve full-fledged cowboys are ready to dismount from their hard 1'idde11 ponies, take off their worn chaps to don caps and gowns. In these four years we have been taught to ride and to become expert with the lariat. It took some of us eral years to learn, but we finally mastered the art of be- ing a cowboy. In September 1929, a hundred twenty-six strong, we stampeded the Abilene High School corral, XVe were but tenderfeet then and about the greenest of the herd, but all that greenness was taken out of us during Freshman NVeek and on St. Patrickis Day. From that time on we were properly initiated into the herd and were tenderfeet no longer. That first year on the range the class was headed by the chief riders: President, 'William Greeng vice-president, Lucile Murphy, secretary, Ruth Fengelg treasurer, Robert Casanova. During that first year we showed the other cowboys that we had talent in nearly all lines. Some of our mem- bers distinguished themselves in basketball, football, band, orchestra, glee clubs, and track. We also held up our scholarship to a high standard, and we were hard to beat when it came to getting on the honor roll. The second year was a little different. We were soph- omores and had been duly initiated into the herd, and we had the pleasure of initiating the incoming tenderfeet. That year we did nothing especially outstanding. We spent our time learning the tricks of sticking in the saddle and of lassoing, We started the year off by having a class roundup at Baer's grove. We did our part in keeping up the schol- astic standing, in sending cowboys onto the football field and basketball court, and many of our members helped in the musical departments. This second year we made but few changes in our head riders. lVi1liam Green was president againg Lucile Mur- phy, vice-presidentg Ruth Fengel, secretaryg and Mary Fair, treasurer. We were steered straight by Miss Es- ther Crowe, Miss Ethel Giles, Mrs. Genevieve Andrews, and Mr, Fred Allison, who were the foremen over us our freshman year. Many of our herd transferred to different corrals. We became very sad, however, in September, 1930, when one of our best and most respected riders, Joe Leckron, died. This of course, made our roundup in the spring of 1931, incomplete, for which we were all sorrowful. At this spring roundup we, who had ridden hard and conscien- tiously, were awarded the title of Junior, of which we were extremely proud, During our junior year we became outstanding as a class and quite active in all activities of the A. H. corral. That year we first chose another troop of riders, name- ly: Alden Carney, presidentg Max Beamer, vice-presidentg Jane Case, secretaryg and Virginia Emig, treasurer. On November 13, we presented our Junior play, The Impor- tance of Being Earnest, a very entertaining three-act comedy. I11 honor of the seniors of 1932 we gave the annual Junior-Senior Reception at the Hotel Sunflower, on April 8. This year we had riders who represented us in foot- ball, basketball, track, debate, oratory, and the C. K. L. music contest, At the closing of the year we began to feel quite proud and also feel the seriousness of becoming Seniors The year 1932-33 and incidentally the last for most of our herd, started off with a bang. However, we were again saddened by the death of one of our members, Jun- ior Haberman, whom we all claimed as a friend. Head riders for this year were: William Gragg, presi- dentg Alice Hees, vice-president, Virginia Emig, secre- tary, Lucile Murphy, treasurer. From our midst was tu.rned out a fair football team and a championship basketball team. Fifteen members of the herd were honored by membership in the National Honor Society and sixteen by a membership in the Inter- national Quill and Scroll Society. These two societies are honorary organizations and accept only those riders, who have stayed astride their ponies and proved themselves superior by remaining in the upper third of the class, On April 28 the Senior Play was given. It was a mys- tery drama entitled, The Thirteenth Chair. The final rodeos of the high school career was found in the Junior-Senior banquet, the all-day picnic, and the alumni banquet. XVC, of the graduating class of 1933, leave the A, H. S. corral to face the real roundups of life with a hint of sad- ness a11d yet with a tinge of excitement too, but we will always recall at times the memories of our high school roundups and rodeos. Class Prophecy ACATION TIME of 1933 and I'm still alive, con- trary to the prognosticating of the Right Reverend Lester Wisby who has foretold the end of time ever since the death of his wife, Gladys Thiel. This vacation was almost spent in Europe as an old class mate is now in charge of the Black and White Steamer Company-none other than Noble Frey. But since I never cared for cats, and one of the sD9Ci2llti9S Of this line is a striped pet for every guest, I decided on the ranch at which Mr. and M rsi F. Yuhl fArlene Cheneyb spent their honeymoon, I notice I said operators, for Wayne Woolverton was driving with Hermine VVili assisting from the rear seat. At the airport I took the elevator fan invention from the master-mind of Paul Hopkinsj, to the air line. It was very thrilling boarding the moving plane, but with the as- sistance of Dwight Hesselbarth and Norman Dull all made it safely save a rather corpulent business man whom Ar- thur Bloyd was endeavoring to assist aboard. Alas, poor Arthur was pulled over and both fell. A woman in the plane went into hysterics and turning to comfort her I rec- ognized Alice Hees ready to jump after her husband, and then I understood it must have been the dynamic sales- man, J. Adolphus Graff. He was selling a simple inven- tion made by simple-oh well, the inventors were Rich- ard Funk, George Buhler, Doster Chase, and Kenneth Jensen. It was to decrease stage fright. Iona May Morrison, Lucile Murphy and Josie Conn- are profiting by it in their Anti-Neckers League work. The pilot, Albert Martin, pointed out the largest sub- urb of Abilene, Solomon, where Marion Atnip now re- sides, and Salina also. fthe home of Jane Case.J And there suspended from a sky hook was Marvin Bo- gart trying to thumb a ride. And look! Tl1ere's someone else, Richard McAdams. in fact. trying the same thing, but he has a little dog suspended also with a flag on his tail. Yes-one of those thoughtful people. He had the dog so trained that when he heard an approaching plane he automatically wagged his tail and the flag. One Pwould think such an excellent traffic cop as Frances NVoolverton would prevent such cruelty to animals. Or at least the Humane Society in which Frances Switzer is prominent would inflict just reproof. Since there was another hour before sundown, the time of our arrival, the steward, Charles Chaves, tuned the radio in and noting something familiar in the laugh of the entertainer I placed Allene Murphy who was giving re- ducing lessons-her motto. Laugh and Lose. It is ru- mored she will be tried by the supreme justices, Alfred McKanna and Claude Mangel for drastically reducing Lola Stark, Margaret Tinkler and Janice Monroe. Her attor- ney will be Clifford Daugherty., The announcer's voice i 545' i l
