Senior Class History (Cont'd from Page 6) Our leaders in activities were Marily Gorrel as president of the Y-Teen and our DAR representative of the year, Don Johnston as president of the Student Bodv, and Esther Shumaker, Billy Koehler, Barbara Brandt, Mary Louise Ball, Jim Weatherford, Jean Holthusen, and Gene Johnsone edited the Opty for us. We gave our Senior Play, Glamour Boy , at- tended the Junior-Senior Prom, to which for the first time we could take our outside steadies and fiance's, and took our turn at giving the annual picnic in hon- or of the Juniors. On Kid Day we really, did look and act like kids, but we had lots of fun. When graduation neared we started remember- ing how many times we sang We're loyal and true A. H. S. and We want a Touchdown and how many times Sid Hockens, Don Dewey, and Dean Pratt were kicked out of Mr. Davis's classes and why Latin was called a dead language when Jim Weath- erford and Jim Estes were in our classes to liven it up. We remember our pep rallies with Rena, Jackie, Peggie, Lois and Sallie leading the cheers and we remember all the time we spent at the Fountain and at Teen Town, to say nothing of the Tea Room. No more will we wonder if we made Opty Sez or fight to sit on the front row in assembly. It's all behind us as we march down the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance to receive our diplomas and shed some tears for our happy days and bid farewell to dear old A. H. S. After this memoriable ceremony, we turn toward the future with smiling faces and set our aims high. We are entering the school of the world now.

UNIOR CLASS HISTORY JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Dick Leahy, President Sandra Puliver, Vice-President Helen Gardner, Secretary Shirley Hopple, Treasurer In the fall of '47, Atchison High welcomed a bright- eyed freshmen class through the doors into a new and differ- ent school life. These sponsors led the class of green and white through the yecr: Mr. George Cromer, Miss Margaret Kil- larney, Mr. Victor Capper, Mr. Robert Hopper, and Mr. Charles Stinson. Student Council Representatives from this class of 204 students were: Jeanne Spencer, Sandra Puliver, Rex Mur- ray, Homer McCoole, and Dick Ahlborn. Elections of home room officers was a leading event for the freshmen. By vote, these people were elected as offic- ers. Mr. Cromer: Philip Arthur, president; Jim Crouch, vice- president; Barbara Davenport, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Cap- per: Bob Dunster, president; Gerry Baker, vice-president; Joan Althaus, secretary; and Bob Rodgers, treasurer. Mr. Hopper: Bud Tschorn, president; Bob Kurtz, vice-president; Ann Martin, secretary; and Shirley Hopple, treasurer. Mr. Stinson: Paul McGee, president; Jane Keely, vice-president; Janice Willis, secretary-treasurer.

Struttin' their stuff in the cheerleading deportment were these ambitious five: Shirley Hopple, Joan Althaus, Con- nie Neill, Ruth Stanton, and Shirley Ellison. These boys of the football and basketball squad were cheered on by the club of green and white . Football: Keith Ellison, Paul McGee, Don Godfrey, Rex Murray, Gerry Baker, Carl Nestler, Bob Sultzer, Kenny Hawk, Rex Lorenz, Harold Moore, Homer McCoole, Bill Rindom, and Bob Dun ster. Basketball: Don Godfrey, Bob Dunster, Kenny Hawk, Don Stout, Sam Hamrick, Gerry Baker, Homer McCoole, Paul McGee, Burt Noble, Bud Tschorn, and Charles Me Cue. £ With a drop from 204 to 172 students in the enroll- ment, the difference of thirty-two students made no differ- ence in the setting of fine records. Mr. Charles Wright, Miss Mary Lloyd, Mr. Chet Lemon, Miss Flora Akins, and Mr. Leo Denny were the sponsors who aided in the leadership of the new sophomore class. The results of the election for class officers was close, but these were the finals: Paul McGee, president; Jane Ellis, vice-president; Sandra Puliver, secretary; and Ann Mar- tin, treasurer. The Student Council Representatives were: Elinor Faubion, Delores Smith, Alfred Ostergard, Rex Murray and Sandra Puliver. The presidents of the sophomore home rooms were: Laura Pendergraft, Paul McGee, Dorothy High, Kenneth Hawk, and Bob Dunster. Carl Nestler, Bud Tschorn, Keith Ellison, Janice Willis, and Dick Leahy were the vice-presi- dents. Keeping the minutes of the meetings were these secretary-treasurers: Rosemary Weatherford, Helen Clarke, Jeanne Spencer, Ann Martin, and Sam Hamrick. The debate squad of 1949 held a fascination for these sophs: Elizabeth Wohlgemuth, Hubert Bell, Dottie Bush, Ann Martin, Ellen Lentz, Helen Clarke, JoAnn Cotter, Dorothy Watts, Connie Neill, Jim Needham, Rosemary Weatherford, Myles Criss, Lloyd Bradley, Shirley Porter, Nancy Higley, Jim Crouch, and Dick Rice.

Now in 1950, the thought of just one more year enters the heads of the seniors to be. With this in mind, these stud- ents were selected to help lead in the Student Council: San- dra Puliver, Barbara Parker, Jane Ellis, Bob Dunster, and Elinor Faubion. (Cont'd on Page 1 8) -
