First and foremost, it is dedicated to Miss Joyce Wentz, who has faithfully served the Atchison school system the past 40 years as supervisor of music in the elementary schools. In this capacity, she has started practically every child in our city on the path to the appreciation of good music. As her departing message to the townspeople, before her well-deserved retirement, she said that she hoped every child will continue to enjoy and participate in music to his greatest capacity and to learn the skills of musical performance. Our second dedication is to the rebuilding of our city. We may now point with pride to the many improvements which have made our hometown second to none in beauty. Future generations to graduate will see even greater advancements to the city we will always remember as our original school home. 3 MRS. W. E. BRIDGES MR. HERAAAN FELDMAN LOWELL DAGENAIS MR. LOWELL DAGENAIS GEORGE McLENON The Board of Education Building. B(Xird of Education One of the most cordial of relationships exists between the schools, townspeople and the board. The men chosen for the tremendous job of providing the best in an outstanding educational program are tops in their repective fields, along with an intelligent, dedicated woman member of the board. Atchison may well point with pride to a board second to none in the country. MR. JOHN MIZE JUDGE FRANK HUNN MR. WILLIAM STILLINGS Superintendent of Schools DR. WAYNE W. FRAZER Dr. Frazer began his duties as superintendent of schools the same year the present grad- uation class began it's tenure of study at Atchison High School, so he has had a special interest in following the progress of the students. Then, too, it is the year his son, Gary, completed his years of study and received his diploma. MR. GEORGE MclENON treasurer Dr. Frazer is not only an outstanding superintendent, but an enthusiastic civic lead- er as well. He served as pres- ident of the Chamber of Com- merce while many great strides were being made in Urban Renewal. Right: Mrs. Pankey is the very efficient Secretary to the superintendent. MRS. BETTIE PANKEY secretary 5 JUNIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL VAN N. HURST SENIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL LEO M. DENNY The monumental job of the making such a large institution of learning run smoothly is largely placed on the shoulders of these two capable men. They not only meet the challenges of modern-day education but they also know personally all those students who will be going out to confront those challenges. Both Mr. Denny and Mr. Hurst are highly respected in the community of Atchison as well as at Atchison High School. What good would a school be without an efficient office staff? Someone has to keep the wheels moving and it is to these two splendid women that the plaudits are given. Mrs. Dora McCoole, left, handles the financial end of the work while Mrs. Jus- tine Thomas takes care of the secretarial duties for the two principals. The school is losing Mrs. McCoole, the former Dora Myers, to a housewifery career. With her goes the best wishes of everyone con- nected with AHS and they know she will make the same success in her new field as she did here. MRS. DORA McCOOLE AND MRS.

TONI ENICH Now we have reached the final point to which we may go at AHS. We are thinking of the things that lie ahead in the future but it's an opportune time to take a look at some of the events that happened during our four wonderful years. During our freshman year we groped along until the routine of high school was no longer a battle. Phil Lenz, Gary Frazer, Terry Edwinson, Pam Thomas, Nancy Footit, Libby Lentz and Kay Wagner were home- room presidents. We participated in many activities which proved ourselves to the upperclassmen. Linda Bell was a majorette in the band and Dorothy Draper, Janet Meyer, Sara Townsend, Judie Craig and Barbara Teschner participated in the White Chapel Bell Choir. Our frosh football team earned proud compliments from the coach, Mr. Smith, by winning every game of the season. Neal Smith and Terry Edwinson served as co-captains for the team. The girls shouting Go, Big Green! were Libby Lentz, Kay Wagner, Barby Feldman and Mary Kim Buckley. Libby and Terry Edwinson reigned over the annual sports dance that year. We were 178 strong, not only active in sports but also in the A-Club, Kayettes, Modern Dance and other musical groups. Finally we passed from underclassmen to upperclassmen and we started off with a boom. We built the winning Homecoming float and David Hiner was elected Trailblazer chief. We were represented on the B-team cheerleading squad by Linda Bell, Barby Feldman and Kay Wagner. When class elections were held for the next year we really had our chance at politics. Elected were David Heck, president; Dick Paste, vice-president; Sue Hibler, secretary and Barbara Spears, treasurer. Many of our classmates took part in the all-school play. Carol Scholz did a fine job in the Miracle Worker and Barb'y Feldman was excellent as Anne in The Diary of Anne Frank. Those inducted into the honor society were Linda Bell, Mary Kim Buckley, Carolyn Carr, Barby Feldman, Gary Frazer, Mignon Griffith, David Heck, John Wisniewski and Karen Yost. In the fall of 19§2, our junior football players worked hard, giving much promise of things to come. Pete Enich, Stan Spinner, Paul Griffin and Neal Smith helped the basketball team to a record year. Carol Scholz and Kay Wagner were enthusiastic varsity cheerleaders and again we won the Homecoming float com- petition. Rarbv Feldman and Elaine Walczak took leads in the all-school play our junior year. Jeff Wainscott, Barby and Carolyn Carr added strength to our debate team and won many awards. The prom, our going-away pre- sent to the seniors was one AHS will never forget. Decorated in the theme of a Roman Holiday, it was said to be one of the most beautiful ever to be presented in the history of the school. Jeannie Irvin, a junior, served as our Trailblazer editor. Janice Hoecker, Marie Dyer, Carol Janden, Susan Beck- man, Terry Wells, Susan Moore and Sara Townsend were inducted into the National Honor Society. We finally made it! With our heads held high, we became the proud sen- iors of AHS. We started off with a bang by winning for the third straight year, the Homecoming float contest. 15 in athletics we started of by bring- ing the first football co-championship (league) to our school. Terry Wells, team captain, was elected to first team all-state. In basketball we finished a very respectable third in the league. Pete Enich won the league scoring championship and also a berth on the all-state team. Later it was announced that Pete had been selected to the All-American high school squad. Mark Paris, Hugh Mitchell, and Dave Hiner did a fine job on the gymnastics team, which won the league championship for the second year in a row. Cliff Brat- ton made a fine showing for AHS at the state track meet. Class officers were Libby Lentz, president; David Heck, vice-president; Elaine Walczak, secretary and Gary Wohlgemuth, treasurer. Jeff Wainscott took command as student council pres- ident. Pretty, petite Susan Marlatt reigned as Homecoming queen. She was attended by Kay Wagner, Mignon Griffith, Marie Dyer and Linda Bell. Cindy Tilson represented AHS at the annual Halloween Festival in Hiawa- tha. Linda Bell served as head cheerleader, along with Kay Wagner, Susan Marlatt, and Carol Scholz. Marie Dyer was elected president of Kayettes while Don Jensen led the Kays. A-club president was Linda Bell and Lynn Laurie headed the Pep G4ub. Mary Kim Buckley and Gary Frazer reigned over the Winter Festival and attending them were: Bette Henry, Bob Eillott, Gary Candreia and Nancy Lillard. Barbara Feldman, Jeff Wainscott, Marlin Frakes, Bob Elliott, Mike Shook, Jayne Guthery, Terry Edwinson and Janet Meyer were excellent performers in the annual Senior play, Wuthering Heights. They continued their excellence into the debate and speech world by capturing a trophy at the state speech tournament and many other awards in other competition bringing to a close one of the greatest debate years in the history Awards were also won by members of the BECK (Business Education Club) at the convention in Emporia. Winning first place awards were Susan Beckman, Marlin Frakes and Elaine Walczak. Bob Behrend, Carol Maycroft and Carol Jansen brought back second and third place awards. Honorable mention went to Lola Barthal and Bertha Christian. National Honor Society inductees were Lola Barthel, Jayne Guthery, Sue Hibler, Libby Lentz, Janet Meyer, Pam Thomas and Cindy Tilson. Superior ratings were won at the district musical contest by the senior girls woodwind, Mary Kim Buckley with a flute solo and Linda Bell in a violin quartet. Mary Kim, Mignon Griffith, Dorothy Draper, Libby Lentz and Helen Cave made up the flute choir which received a superior rating. All the other musicians received a fablous trip to Enid, Oklahoma, to perform in a large band festival. In vocal music, Barbara Spears and Dorothy Draper received II's for their performance at the district contest. Editors of the school paper, the Optimist, were Janice Hoecker, Phil Lenz and Terry Wells. Chuck Sacks was co-editor of the Trailblazer. We can never forget the kid day activities or the wonderful time we had at the junior-senior picnic. It is with great pleasure that we recall these pleasant memories of the years at the wonderful school on the hill, AHS. We will be part of the history forever and needless to say, it will be a part of our hearts for the rest of our lives. There are things in our lives which are easily forgotten and which time dims. However, there is some- thing about old school ties which remain with us. Perhaps at times they lie dormant, but now and then they are bound to spring up and give us a lift—perhaps when we are at our lowest ebb. No matter what we think or care to think, there are no memories so refreshing as our school years. of the school. 16 ELAINE WALCZAK AND DAVID HECK SUSAN BECKMAN Kayettes, 3, 4; BECK sec., 4; cap and gown com. 4; BECK award, 4; Nat'l honor soc., 3, 4; honor roll, 2, 3, 4; carried oak leaves, 3.

Three honors for excellence in journalism were awarded the Atchison High school paper in the 44th annual high school newspaper contest of the KU William Allen White School of Journalism. The Optimist won first in make-up in the offset division, honor- able mention for retail advertising and recognition in the miscellaneous division for its special supplement for the debate tournament held at the school. The class set a goal the first week of school, hoping to make a good showing in the contest. The three wins were beyond their ex- pectations but most welcome!

The motif used during the spring presentation was patriotic and among the large crowd attending were representa- tives of all the patriotic organizations in the city. Their spontaneous applause proved that the long hours of preparation was well worth the effort. Members of the art department con- tributed toward the beauty of the scenery. Red and Gold Choir The Soloists are praised in any performance but behind every high school musical presen- tation there is always the chorus. So many times it is overlooked by everyone except proud parents of someone in the back row! Not so with the outstanding choruses of Mr. Roark. Each person taking part in his programs is a soloist in his own way. Students are trained in such a way that they perform like real professionals and this is why there are always large crowds at a chorus program. When the Red and Gold Choir and Chorus III makes an appearance, Atchison townspeople, faculty members and students are in for a treat because these young people are note-perfect. Chorus III The pirate king (Rick Schwein) sings a stirring song while under the watchful eyes of the ser- geant of police (Ron Bridges) and his trusties.

Library Assistants No group of young women in the school receive more efficient training than those chosen to help in the library. No individual is more capable of training these students than their sponsor, Miss Anna Huebert. It is no small job doing the hundreds of jobs required of a library staff. Not only must the routine requirements be met each day, but there is always a new problem or two springing up. Atchison High school may well point with pride to an attractive library as well as an efficient one. Miss Huebert and her assistants keep up-to-date bulletins, art displays and a most beautiful supply of house plants and floral arrangements. Even those unfortunate students having to serve a seventh hour now-and-then must admit that their servi- tude is spent in a pleasant atmosphere! Karen Ford, Shirley Weir, Janice Jones anc C.

The years of 1963-64 were excellent ones in that the squad did a fine job of trophy-col lect- ing. They won a first in the Topeka West tourney; first in Shawnee Mission and Highland Park; fourth in Washington (Bethel); third in Washburn Rural; second in the Centennial League. At Shawnee Heights they won a first and at Platte City, Mo., third. In Abilene, the National Forensic, they won third; at the National Forensic state, a fourth; at Wichita, a fourth; at Rosedale, a second and at the Class AA District, a third. The squad also performed in seven demonstrations for the public and responded for five classroom programs. It is with a great deal of pride that coach Ron Shafer doffs his hat to as fine a group of debaters to have ever spoken from the stage of, not only our school, but others as well. Seniors who debated or took part in speech tournaments were: Jeff Wainscott, Barbara Feldman, Russell Rude, Carolyn Carr, Mark Paris, Jayne Guthery, and Janet Meyer. Although their faces will be missed when pictures are taken next year, they have left pleasant memories of many happy times. The group left to continue the work, so well done, will carry on the tradi- tion of excellence. 78 1 Dave Wingardner admires one of his trophies.

The theme, Broadway was featured in its many facets—glamour, excitement, tragedy and naturally the Great White Way. Group numbers included a sightseeing tour, a night club and a stroll in Central Park. Featured soloists were Candy Adams, Linda Bell, Mary Kim Buckley and Mignon Griffith. Mig- non, manager of the events, was ably assisted by junior dance managers, Barbara Mize, Lynn Widick and Vicki Wheeler. Development of grace and poise in move- ment plus enjoyment are the main objectives of Modern Dance. S. Hausman, D. Wainscott and S. Cray. K. Michaels, B. Page, S. Shuck, C. Adams and N.

These girls brought home the prizes from many a tussle for properties from this year are safely stored away! which we thank them all! Senior Hiph Pep Club These are the girls who see to it that the cheering section is always kept at a fever pitch—especially during those exciting football and basketball games. It just wouldn't be the same without the enthusiasm of this club. The past year was especially noteworthy in that it hit a new high in that great school spirit feeling. Any student or townsperson attending games will agree that this was the year of years in good school spirit. No matter whether the teams won or lost, the spirit of winning was there until the final whistle. Just as the teams give their all during the time of play, so do the cheerleaders and their fellow members play the game. Cheerleaders in the first row are: Cray, Widick, Michaels, Marlatt, Rude, Adams, Mize. Merriman, Bell (head cheerleader), Wagner, S. Marlatt, Sholtz, Wheeler, Magin and Fricke.

From the very beginning of school, when members assist with registration until the closing day, Kayette girls and their sponsors, Mrs. Buckley, Mrs. Schletzbaum, Mrs. Stanton, Miss Fargo and Miss Eskeldson, take on many duties and see them through to the finish. It is in this group that girls learn the mean- ing of responsibility and its obligation.

This year they used as their theme Hey, Look Us Over and a large appreciative audience did just that. 93 — Work With Hands Produces Expert Results These boys begin work on pro- jects at the beginning of school and turn out some fine examples of woodworking and smooth-running cars.

Seniors Farewell Performances Many of the boys who played their last game against Leavenworth, the night of the great win, had started out their high school football career together in junior high. They were also champions at that time and set a goal to give the best they had to the sport. They did just that. Every boy on the team played to win and the victory proved that it was a dedicated team that played that night. Their will be many other great teams to hold up the Atchison banner, but none more thrilled than the 1964 squad.

Spearheading this brilliant effort was one of the state's better track men— Clifford Bratton. This speedy young man won three events (100-yd. dash, 200- yd. dash and 440-yd. dash) in almost every meet. He also garnished all the Atchison points at the state meet. Bratton broke the school 440 rec- ord with an outstanding: 49.7 clocking at Manhattan. Bing Biffinger, Clifford Bratton, Pete Enich and Galen Hawk.

These young people spend hours in preparation and when they take their places on the stage, Atchison residents are in for a treat. Especially well received is the annual Christmas program and surely ranking along with it the spring musical treat. The selections of numbers is always varied enough that everyone hears favorites. From the groups of young singers come the students who later take part in the popular operetta, a highlight of the school year. No sounds are sweeter than those heard coming from Mr. Roark's music room. Freshman Girls' Ensemble MEMBERS OF THE FRESHMAN GIRLS' Ensemble: Linda Bahr, Carolyn Bierbaum, Mary Chew, Linda Denton, Toni Disque, Julie Erwin, Patricia Farr, Karen Henninger, Susan Irons, Judy Jones, Reel Jones, Jeanne Kamp, Ann Marshall, Shirley Seever, Ann Shell, Marilyn Sinclair, Stephanie Tolle, Theresa Trullinger.

Members of the group are Bill Wallace, Jim Jeffries, Glenn Seever and Doug Stillings. 119 Bill Krusemark and Mike Vanek, Dapper stags, look the situation over and decide the dance is good enough that they should have brought a date!

It is through his expert planning that the plants are run with such effici ency. Our thanks! So many times we take all the good things in life for granted. There are men and women who are constantly mak- ing life a little easier and comfortable for us. Pictured on this page are some of the familiar faces we see each day at school (the exception, Mr. Channon, Education building). It would be nice if we remember to thank them now and then for a job well done. Also, returning graduates can always please them by a cheery hello when they re- turn to visit.
