Ingalls Jr. - Sr. High School Atchison Kansas TO PROF William 6. Altimari M The Yearbook Staff dedicates this years Trailblazer to W. G. Altimari, who is in his 24th year of teaching in the instrumental music department at Atchison High School. Prof as he is affectionately called by his students, came to A. H.

Of the hundreds of students who have studied under Prof, many have gone on to teach music, and many have become famous in a particular field . of music. Prof is not only a teacher, but a personal friend to each and every one of his students. Thanks for a job being well done, and hope you will be at A. H. S. for many more successful years. 2 ADMINISTRATION FACIJUV MR. CHARLES W. LAFFERTY Superintendent of Schools Board of Education READING CLOCKWISE AROUND TABLE: Mr. Chester Mize, Mr. Karl Root.

Stanton, Mr. Vernon Niles, Mr. Phillip Eckels, Mr. Charles Lafferty, Mr. Chester Lemon. 4 The Principal Education is not achieved at a single leap. It is a slow, gradual process and is the accumulation of a countless number of things. His education has been misguided who has not acquired a keen sense of loyalty, integrity and service. Ideals are like the stars. You will not succeed in reaching them with your hands. But like the sea- faring men of old on the desert of waters, you choose them for your guide, and following them, you reach your destiny. Sincerely yours, GEORGE L. CLELAND THE OFFICE STAFF MRS.

RED-E-MIX CONCRETE 28 SENIORS Class OF 1952 Another year has passed in the halls of old AHS. . . a year of fun, work and excitement for the seniors. Soon we'll be out in the world working on our own. We won't see each other very often, but we can always look back into our memories-- of a favorite class or that exciting homecoming football game which we won from Leavenworth, 17to 7, for instance. We'll remember the football games when the cheerleaders, Marilyn Mertz, Mary Kay Dowell, JoAnn Moeck, Helen Gibson, Joan Noble and Shirley Denny led the Thunderbirds in cheers for the team, and when we sang the school song, We're Loyal and True, AHS as the school band played. We welcomed the holiday season, and once again many of us took part in the Christmas program at Memorial Hall. Our chorus and orchestra, directed by Basil Roark and W. G. Altimari, took part in this program. Then after the holidays, back to the old grind. . . but it wasn't so bad. Every day of the week seemed to bring a special activity or event for us. . .club meetings, plays, assemblies and other activities kept us jumping. In our junior year, we proved our ability as thespians with the production of Our Miss Brooks. This year, we returned to the stage with Men Are Like Street Cars. To entertain our senior classmates last year, we carried through the theme Harbor Lights in the Junior- Senior Prom and we were their guests at the junior-senior picnic. But this year it was our turn to relax as the juniors presented the Junior- Senior prom, and we treated them to their first real sunburns and a lot of good food at the picnic. Kid day found us in our second childhood as we dolled up in our grade school togs for our last fling as youngsters before the big day. . . graduation day. As we marched down the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance to receive our diplomas, unforgetable memories lingered with us, and we know they always will, for we'll never forget our high school days. Officers of the senior class are shown talking things over at the Stanton home. PICTURED LEFT TO RIGHT ARE: Mary Kay Dowell. President Bill Holmes, Bob See and Ruth Stanton.

BEST GRID SEASON IN 15 YEARS! Atchison High's Redmen finished their most successful football season in 15 years, winning five and losing four in season play.

FOLEY'S CLEANERS 67 B” TEAM GRIOOERS Atchison High's B team finished the season with an even record of two wins and two losses. The wins came at the expense of the Topeka C squad, 7-0, and the Little Pioneers from Leavenworth, 27-7. Saddest moment of the season was the opener, in which Benton High of St. Joseph poured it on our B team to the tune of 46-0. The other loss came at the hands of Plattsburg, Mo., 7-6. Pictured above are members of the B squad: FIRST ROW; Carter, Taylor, Laverentz, Wallace, Highfill, Dickson. SECOND ROW: Coach Ed Hiner, Alexander, Hawk, D. Carter, Dobbs, Eisle, Garside, Downing.

The Redmen set and then broke their single game scoring record when they ran up a 71-49 victory over Seaman of Topeka and then romped over Hiawatha 84 to 60. Doomed to the NEKL season with a one won, nine lost re- cord, the Redmen could boast that only Shawnee-Mission held an impressive margin o er them, and most of the defeats were by one and two- point margins. All the grad- uating seniors had 100-point plus seasons. Vowels hit for 200, Holmes scored 109 and Foley racked up 107.

The staff of the 1952 Trailblazer takes this opportunity to thank the many, many persons they imposed upon during the school year for the many things required in the publication of this yearbook. Space limitations and copy dead- lines forced us to leave out many pictures that were submitted to us. For our many, many errors we apologize. We urge each reader to remember the many progressive Atchison merchants who have been so kind as to donate their money - not in the name of advertising - but so that we here at AHS might have a year- book at a price that more of us could afford to pay. We thank them now, and hope that you--the reade rs - - will favor them always with your business. MYERS --® YEARBOOKS THf PACEMAKERS Of OUAIITV •: • MYERS AND CO. INC.
