Atchison High School - Trailblazer Yearbook (Atchison, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1951 volume:

The immeditate future holds forth a promise of pro- gress in all likes of human endeavor unequalled by any similar period in the history of the world. You mem- bers of the class of 1951 are indeed fortunate. CHARLES W. LAFFERTTY Superintendent of City Schools HOARD OF EDUCATION FRANK TODD ik. HAROLD MARTIN PHIL ECKELS This page with the compliments of BOARD OF EDUCATION With deepfeeling, the grad- uating class of 1951 of Atchison High School dedicates the annual yearbook to a member of this class, Alfred Ostergard, who was not destined to finish his high school days with his class- mates. Always with a smile, Alfred made many friends everywhere he went. He was an active, interested youth, always good natured. He was an intelligent student who was aimed toward the higher things in life. He was always prompt, courteous, friendly, and dependable. A son of devout Christian parents, Alfred was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church where he took an active part in the young people’s group and sang in the choir He held his church above all other activities. From this developed the wholesome ideas which he possessed, Alfred is sadly missed by his friends and teachers . SENIOR CUSS HISTORY This page sponsored by ATCHISON ELECTRIC SHOP There are many solemn moments for a senior, moments when we suddenly realize our high schooldays are over. Some- times we almostwish we were just graduating from gradeschool again. Soon each will begin a new life. Some will go todefend our country so that our children may live in peace. Some will find their ways intocolleges and universities. Eachwill take up a new role in life. Behind will be left some of the fondest and some of the sad- dest memories of our life. We will each feel a touch of sadness when we remember that one member of our class was not des- tined to finish our journey with us. High school had a different meaning to each of us. Maybe it was cheering at a pep rally, having a steady”, crowding a- round the lockers, talking in classes, of visiting over an after school coke when we were just one of the gang. The senior remembers the time he won his first A , or the year he was in Student Council. The stirring flag ceremony at our assemblies every other Friday will long live in our memories as a part of the school tradition. We’ll remember that, in our senior year, several girls sat on the front row in the auditorium during assemblies-- but not without much argument. Entering as green freshmen in 1947, we had 204members in our class, the largest in school. That year we saw Jane Ellis crowned junior high football queen with Shirley Boatwright and Shirley Hopple as her attendants. Losing 36 classmates, we began our sophomore year with the satisfaction that we could look down” on the freshmen. After much heated campaigning Paul McGee was elected by an overwhelming majority to lead us through the year. JaneEllis, Sandra Puiiver, and Ann Martin were vice president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The next step toward the top was made when we strutted into dear old A.H.S. as jaunty juniors. There were only 135 . of us, but the year was full of excitement. Dick Leahy was to guide us through tne year with the aid of Sandra Puiiver, vice president: Helen Gardner, secretary; and Shirley Hopple, treasurer. Our first big project was the class play, Handy Man , under the direction of our class sponsor, Miss Mildred Worrel. With South Pacific as the theme, we entertained the seniors at the prom in May. For the first time we gave the priv- ilege of inviting outside steadies and fiances The seniors then invited us to be their guestsat an all-daypicnic at Sugar Lake. We went home with our first sunburns of the season and wet clothes but it had all been fun. We were about to begin our senior year. We’ll remember lastsummer when HubertBell, SamHam- rick, and Dick Leahy trudged off to Boy's State. As seniors, we chose Hubert Bell to lead our class of 136. To aid him, we elected Bob Dunster, vice president, Laura Pendergraft, secretary, and Jane Ellis, treasurer. Our Student Council activities were carried on by Dick Leahy, president, Jo Ann Tauchman, vice president, and HubertBell, secretary. We provided leaders for almost every school activity. Lead- ing the Y-Teen aspresident was ElinorFaubion. For the second year, Bob Kurtz was chosen to guide the Hi-Y. Bob Denton held the gavel for the Distributive Education Club, while Laura Pendergraft led the Future Secretaries of America through an- other year. Dick Leahy headed the Boys' A Club. Elizabeth Wohlgemuth was chosen as our D. A. R. representative. Hubert Bell was named editor of the Trailblazer. Elinor Faubion, Mar- ilyn Shaeffer, Mary Ann Thompson, Jane Ellis, Naomi Gil- lespie, Mary Maycroft, Jerry Brown, and Bob Dunster edited the Opty. Fall meant football. We remember the times when we all gathered for a pep rally at noon with Sandra Puiiver, Connie Neill, and Shirley Hopple leading the cheers, or the time we were practically blistered by the heat of a bonfire just before a big game. Before eachgame we saw the band standing on the field as they played The Star Spangled Banner. During the half time we thrilled to see the band come strutting down the field led by Dorothy High and Laura Pendergraft. We knew we wouldn't win every game but after seeing our Redmen trample Hiawatha in a homecoming tilt and then seeing Dick Leahy crown JaneEllis, the 1950 homecoming queen, we felt a thrill in our hearts, when we realized at last we were seniors and could have our classmates as queens, presidents, and gen- eral big wheels. Basketball season was full of tense moments when the score was nearly tied and only one minute playing time remained. As graduation drew nearer, we began making plans, having our pictures taken, being measured for caps and gowns, and ordering announcements. As guests of the juniors we attended the prom. In return, we entertained them with the traditional junior-senior picnic. On Kid Day we really acted and felt like kids again. Time was getting shorter and we realized that soon our high school diplomas would be in our hands. The strains of Pomp and Circumstance would lead us into a new and strange world. Our friends, classmates, teachers, and first crushes will fade into memories, but the character traits built up by our high school days will be ours the rest of our lives.. Homeroom Secretary 48. 51.

FOOTBALL Flaying a tough nine game schedule the Atchison High Red- men football team completed the 1950 season with a 2 won, 7 loss record. Included in this was a homecoming victory over a spirited Hiawatha team, and a 39 to 8 victory over Effingham.

Following them are five players who each scoredunccduring the season. They are Dick Kaaz, BobSultzer, Theodori Kelly, Don Turpin and Ted George. Atchison was led throughout the season by two of the best prospective quarterbacks in the N.E.K.L,, Dick Kaaz and Ed Scarlet ., junior and sophomore, respectively. Keeping the attack going in the backfieldwere Chuck Green, nard driving fullback, Ken Kelly, left halfback, with Don Turpin and Theodore Kelly doing line blocking from the right halfback post. Winning all league honors for his sparking play in the line was George Worley, senior left tackle, who led the Redmen on the defense. Right tackle was jerry Foley, junior, who also handled the punting duties for the Redmen. His punting average was an outstanding 39.2. Harold Moore and Kenneth Hawk were left and right ends, playing a steady, consistent game throughout the season. At guard four men played about an equal amount.

Coach Hiner was faced with one of the toughest jobs of his coaching career, of building a team with no returning lettermen at the beginning of the season. Atchison journeyed to Kansas City, Kan- sas to open the schedule with Wyandotte High School, and the unexperienced Redmen were set back, 34-23, by a team that won eleven straight games before their first loss. Effingham was next on the agenda and the Redmen put on one of the bestdefensive exibitions in Kansas high school basketball, as they held the Tigers scoreless the first half and to eleven points the entire game. After sandwiching a win from Wash- ington High School and a loss to Central of St. Joseph, the Redmen failed to capture their own tourney for the first time, as the Leavenworth Pioneers took the honors. The Redmen began their N. E. K. L. schedule with a win over Argentine, but then hit the sheds and finished the season with 14 straight losses. In all, Atchison played four games that could have gone either way, but Lady Luck smiled on the opponents and the Redmen lost all the close contests. Charles “Cud” Vowels topped thescores with 135 points while Richie Noland and Jerry Foley had 105 and 90 markers re- spectively.
