SI Illll MASS HISHIHY I9 49 moo !y,?' It was a clear sparkling morning in September of 19h5. The thought of being in high school struck both terror and delight in the hearts of eleven much scrubbed and starched freshmen. Our sponsor was Mr. Brown, the Coach. To make us official mem- bers of the high school, we were naturally initiated by the sen- ior class. The girls wore stocking caps over their hair and were dressed like boys. The boys wore make up and dressed as girls. All of us wore onions tied around our necks all day. That even- ing we went to Augusta Park for a wiener roast and afterwards to a skating party. Those in our class were: Joe Clark, Doris Don- aldson, James Evans, Margie Flinn, Fred Graham, Raymond Holmes, Betty Pray, Doris Hladik, Bob Pray, Eugene Moser, and Ina Pray. At the beginning of our Sophomore year there were only seven of us, but later on we had eleven in our class, when Lyle Timmons, Dale Hobson, Juanita Koob and Carol Timmons joined our ranks. On November 22, of this year, our class presented a three act mystery play entitled 'The Dummy'. We cleared 320.69 on the play. Joe Clark and Margie Flinn left our class later on that year, which left us with a class of nine. Our Junior Class consisted of twelve students. The three new students were: Leta Nixon, Allene Gruber, and Mary Louise Clark. One of our main high lights of our Junior year was our Junior Class Play, 'Aunt Susie Shoots the Works . We also gave a Box Supper. Our Junior-Senior Banquet was a very lovely affair given in the school gym. The theme of our banquet was an 'Old Fashioned Gardenn. There was also a lovely Basket-ball banquet given in the gym that year. OH, Happy Day! Seniors ------ at last! It was a long three years but it was worth it. Our main projects for our last year were the school paper, the Annual, sneak day, our Senior trip, and our Senior play. Two of our class mates, Ina Pray and Juanita Koob, didn't finish their schooling at Andover. There is one new student in the Senior Class this year, Raymond Bird. The Senior graduating class of l9h9 consists of ---- Bob Pray Dale Hobson, Eugene Moser, Lyle Timmons, Raymond Bird, Allene Gruber, Doris Donaldson, Carol Timmons, Betty Pray, Leta Nixon and Mary Louise Clark. The'h9er's of one-hundred years ago had for their slogan--- 'California or Bust . We ,the lp9er's of the 20th Century have the slogan, Success or Bust . 8

LASS RGPHECY TIME--1960 I, Dale Hobson, by this time had made a small fortune of a million and a half dollars as an automobile dealer,strict1y Fords of course.Having been single all this time I thought I'd make a trip around the United States and look for a wife. As I was speeding along in my new Ford, I came upon the thriving Metropolis of Kansas City, Missouri. Slightly exceeding the speed limit, I was requested by the minions of the law to make a personal appear- ance at the police station. While answering their questions, I found that the Sheriffvs wife was the former Carol Timmons, a fellow class mate of mine at Andover High in l9h9. Carol came to Kansas City on a weekend, met the Sheriff and remained to become his wife. Learning that she had kept up her contacts with the other members of our class, the following information was gleaned from our conversation about the graduates of l9h9. Lyle,the brother had gone through Oklahoma A. R M. Although school was tough, at times, Lyle finished and is now back at Andover High as coach, using the fast break. Gene happened to be using his pilots license to good advantage as he was flying the mall to different parts of the U. S. Doris is a bookkeeper in a post office at Oakland, california. Leta is working as a secretary in the Telephone Company at Wich1ta.Mary is a school teacher in the grade school at Andover. I bet she and Lyle are really running that school. Allene now owns her own restaurant in st. Louis, Missouri and is doing very well. Raymond is a partner in the prominant oil business of E. H. Adair and R. H. Bird Oil Company. Betty is the wife of Kenneth Fulk,who works at the Boeing Airplane Plant. Bob Pray is running one of the largest dairy farms near Wichita, and he has cows on it too. well, it looks as if the class of l9h9 has done very well for itself, and since Carol's husband has released me from the charge of speeding, I will mosey on my way. 9
