It was the largest enrollment of a Freshman Class up to that time. At graduation time the Senior Class of '51 had an enrollment of fifty-six. The class officers were: Presiaei.............................Bob Bryson Vice-President.......................Jim Signer Secretary...............................Jane Huff Treasurer..........................Ruth Parker Student Council....................Lyn Caringer Shirley Steele The class has taken part in all contests. It supported the Annual and School Carnival all four years. It has sponsored three all school parties. The basketball team will lose nine players, all of whom are of the first ten. They are Bob Bryson, Bud Short, Carl Degonia, Tom Archambault, Jim Signer, Gerald Becker, Herman Nichols, Don McKee, and Beryl Adams. The volleyball team will lose five players, Ruth Parker, Shirley Steele, Dorothy Bennett, Margaret Cox, and Mary Savage. The band will lose nine members, Juanita Wood, Bob Bryson, Jim Signer, John Buchanan, Ann West, Carol Worley, G. K. Hunt, Ira Ann Lewis, and Shirley Steele. In 1950 the class gave a three act play, June Mad”, which was enjoyed by everyone. The proceeds of the play were used for the Junior-Senior Prom, given in honor of the Seniors in the spring of '51. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated using the theme of “Spring Time”. The Senior play, “Aunt Cathie's Cat”, was a mystery-comedy and proved to be entertaining. The proceeds of the play went to help finance a trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas. 19 Senior Wills Betty Pinkley wills her promptness to Carolyn Koenig.

Now that the school year is over, the class can look back with pride at their achievements as Juniors. The class officers elected at the second class meeting were: President...............................John Smith Vice-President......................Faith Guelzow Secretary...........................Wanda Depew Treasurer...........................Ann Whelehon Student Council........................Betty Owens Bruce Haig The boys of the class chose the very popuiar Miss Carolyn Koenig as their queen candidate for the l.H.S. Carnival. The entire class worked industriously, and they were rewarded for their work by winning first place on ticket sales and on their float. The theme of the float was ‘'Carousel '. The main feature of it was their queen candidate, dressed as a little girl in a white pinafore, seated on a red and white merry-go-round horse, eating a huge red and white lollipop. It was a truly beautiful float. On October 31, 1950, the class saw their queen candidate, Miss Koenig, crowned as the Oueen of l.H.S. for 1950-51. Representing the class in volleyball were Nelda Jones and Ruth Reed on the B team, with Faithie Guelzow as captain, and on the A team Patsy Cloin, Delores Sitze, and Mary Lou Strever, who was captain. Robert Griffe, John Smith, James Trolinger, and Bruce Haig represented the class in basketball. Junior members in the band were Carolyn Koenig, Johnny Collins, and Patsy Eidson. During the Ironton Invitational Basketball Tournament the Juniors were in charge of the food stand. They took in $627.06 with a profit of $204.02. The class was highly successful in their other fund raising project, a bake sale. Yes, the Junior Class of 1950-51 has had a very successful year. 24 FIRST ROW: Sophomores Bobby Aldridge, Victor Aldridge, Robert Archambault, Pat Brunck, Ruth Calvert, Wilma Camden, Ruth Chapman, Jo Ann Cleveland, Clara Clom.

A On September 14, 1950, the Ironton Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America held its first meeting with Ira Ann Lewis, last year's vice-president, presiding. At this meeting the following officers were elected. President...........................Ira Ann Lewis Vice-President................... Faithie Guelzow Secretary...........................Juanita Wood Treasurer........................Mary Lou Strever Reporter...................................Audrey Webb Degrees Chairman...................Betty Berryman Parliamentarian...........................Aurelia Wood Historian...................................Betty Ratliff Sub-District Treasurer........................Ann West At the next meeting the officers were installed and the new members were initiated in a formal ceremony. There were approximately 45 new members making the total membership 85 girls. On November 3, F. H. A. members attended the sub-district meeting which was held at Farmington this year. In December the annual Christmas party was held. This year the party was an informal, date party. In January the F. H. A. girls gave a skating party at the Casino Roller Rink in Farmington. On February 14, the F. H. A. presented the assembly program, “Ghastly Girls to the student body. Mrs. Marie Worley was chosen by the girls to be this year's Chapter Mother. This year's sponsor was Miss Irene McNally, home economics instructor 37 The Ironton F. F. A. The Ironton F.F.A. has participated in many activities this year; many were social and others were educational. Last summer a group of Ironton F.F.A. boys attended the State F.F.A. camp at Kaiser, Missouri, on the Lake of the Ozarks, where their bountiful swimming, fishing and nature study was enjoyed by all. All of the week spent at camp was not recreation, but included Leadership Training and Community Life. The boys enjoyed their trip and also profitted in many ways from it. Skating parties, hayrides, and many other parties are part of the F.F.A. activities, but they have other activities such as the Papa Picnic which are very important too. This is a covered dish supper held in the I.H.S. gymnasium where every boy brings his father and the importance of F.F.A. work is associated with games and tricks. This is a yearly occurrence much awaited by all concerned. The annual “Barnwarmin” is an awaited event by the F.F.A. boys and is a success every year. The F.F.A. is assisting with the organization of a county fair this year and is going to have many entries in the livestock contests when the fair is held this fall. A timber project is also in the making and will be an improvement and credit to the community. The F.F.A. will enter many fields of judging in the contests this year, and we hope, under the capable guidance of Mr. Klaus, will emerge victorious. This school year 1950-51 has been a year of achievement for the Ironton F.F.A. Chapter and the years ahead can also be years of achievement and pros- perity if we will work together and follow the advice of our leaders. During the current year we have lost two members to the armed forces. Charles Raggo, our chapter secretary, joined the Navy and Ray West joined the Air Corps.

H. S. Music Department This year has been a very successful one for both the director, Mr. Jean Chard, and the students of l.H.S. The band has participated in many worth-while activities. Among these have been: Playing for several political rallies, traveling to Piedmont to give a concert, giving a concert for a new car showing, participating in all the home basketball games, and assisting in many school assemblies. In the annual Christmas concert the department made a splendid showing. The opening numbers by the band were enjoyed by all. The mixed chorus, along with the boys' and girls' glee clubs, gave a great performance. Many long hard rehearsal hours proved to be rewarding. Under the able assistance of our director a well planned program was pre- sented at the Spring Festival, which is held at Cape Girardeau. Many honors were taken by our worthy musicians some of which traveled to the state contest at Columbia. Some of our progress is due to the fact that we have a new department in which to work. Made up of a large rehearsal room, an office, and two practice rooms, it is not only comfortable but also very attractive. To the music students 1950-51 has proved to be a year they will always remember. 41 September: 5 8 26 28-29 October: 3 10 16 17 19- 20 24 28 31 November: 1 3 6 7 9 10 14 17 20- 5 29 December: 1 8 12 12 14 16 19 21 22 24-29 January: 9 12 13 16 17 17 17 19 20 22 24 22-27 31 31 School starts Freshman and Senior party Volleyball game with Doe Run--there Art Exhibit Volleyball game with Elvins--here Volleyball game with lrondale--here Lyceum Volleyball game with St. Genevieve--there Teachers meeting Volleyball game with Bismarck--there Carnival Volleyball game with Frankclay—there School individual pictures taken F.H.A. district meeting at Farmington Volleyball game with Caledonia--there Basketball game with Desloge--here F.F.A. initiation Basketball game with Centerville--here F.F.A.

Jane Huff, Senior girl chosen as the queen, is very worthy of this honor. Jane has taken part in many school activities. In her Freshman year she was candidate for queen. She was in the Senior play and secretary of the Senior Class. Because of her popularity and friendliness, Jane indeed deserves the honor of Black and Gold Oueen. Bob Bryson was the Senior boy chosen as Black and Gold King. Bob has been an active student all four years. He was on the basketball team three years and on the Junior high team when a Freshman. He was in the Junior and the Senior play. Bob was president of his class for all four years, and president of the student body in his Senior year. Bob certainly deserves the title of Black and Gold King. 46 Freshman Float 47 Senior Float Sophomore Float 48 Parade The twenty-fourth annual I. H. S. parade was held on a beautiful October day this year. The parade started at two o’clock in the afternoon. It consisted of a float from each class, the band, a state patrol car and a great number of private cars decorated with class colors. The state patrol car led the procession and was followed by the band. Behind the band came the Freshman float, Janis Leach, the F reshman candidate for queen, and Ronald Parmer rode on the float. The theme of the Freshman float was “Tom-Tom Town.’’ Janis was dressed as an Indian Princess and Ronald as a warrior. A large tepee, a campfire, and the place where the Indians kept their weapons were the features of the float The tepee was white with Indian symbols painted on it. The Indian weapons on the float were a bow and a quiver of arrows, a spear, a shield, and a tomahawk. Ronald was beating a tom- tom, ana all around the sides were fastened miniature tom-toms. Next came the Sophomore float. Its theme was “Underneath the Arches. The float was decorated in blue and white. There were arches over the float. Ann Talmage, the Sophomore queen candidate, sat under the arches. As the float passed, the song, “Underneath the Arches , was played. The Junior float came next. The Juniors theme was, “The Carousel. The float was a red and white merry-go-round. Carolyn Koenig, the Junior candidate for queen, was dressed as a little girl. She wore a white pinafore and a big red bow in her hair. She was eating a lollipop. Carolyn sat on one of the horses on the merry-go-round. The Senior float came next. Its theme was “Holiday for Strings. The float was in the shape of a huge violin. It was decorated in purple and white. Juanita Wood, the Senior choice for queen, wore a lavender formal and sat on the float beside the violin. The parade was over a mile long. It lasted almost two hours. The parade started at the high school and went through Ironton, Arcadia, and Pilot Knob. When the parade got back to the high school, the decision of the judges who ranked the floats was announced. The Juniors won first place; Freshmen second; Seniors third, and Sophomores fourth. 49 JUANITA WOOD. Senior ANN TALMADGE.
