DEDICATION To DANIEL EDWARD McGRAW we the students and faculty of Basehor High, dedicate this Annual. Dan Eddy attended the first years of high school at Jarbalo and finished at Basehor High in the Glass of '47. He entered service September , 1950. As a member of the 38th regiment of the 2nd division, he was sent to Korea. There on September 3, 1951 Dan Eddy gave his life for his country, fighting for the land he loved and his loved ones. The only debt that the nation can never repay is the one to her soldiers. Grave deep their memory on your Hearts, Keep ye their country free; Live for the flag for which they died---- This is their legacy. N. M. Lowater ✓ J« W.

H I STORY We seniors enrolled our Freshmen year with 19 members. They were Charles Bates, Jacquline Berg, Allen Goens, Raymond King, Edward Klamm, James Knudsen, Beverly Miller, Lucille Moses, Mildred Nick, Gene Northern, Merle Partridge, Deraid Pouppirt, Fred Scheller, Gloria Skaggs, Robert Skaggs, Leroy Swope. Virginia Truhe, Ruth Warren and Delores Wolff. We lost Beverly Miller and Edward Klamm at the begin- ning of the school year but we gained Lowell Breuer in the second sem- ester. We chose as our class officers: President, Charles Bates; Vice- President, Robert Skaggs; Secretary-Treasurer, Deraid Pouppirt; Stu- dent Council Representative, Delores Wolff and our class sponsor was Miss Farrar. How well we remember what happened on September 17, 1943. Oh, how the Sophomores enjoyed initiating us that day. We began our Sophomore year with 17 members. We had lost James Knudsen and Gloria Skaggs but had gained Jeanette Tidwell. Before the year was over we lost Merle Partridge, Robert Skaggs, and Ruth Warren, but we gained James McClurg. We got to initiate the Freshmen this year. More fun I We had as our class officers: President, Lowell Breuer; Vice- President, Mildred Nick; Secretary-Treasurer, Delores Wolff; Student Council Representative, Leroy Swope. We had Mr. Cink as our Class sponsor. We started our Junior year with 14 members. We had lost Raymond King. We lost Virginia Truhe in the first semester and we were down to thirteen. Our Class Officers for this year were: President, Jim McClurg; Vice-President, Deraid Pouppirt; Secretary-Treasurer, Jeanette Tidwell; Student Council Representative, Leroy Swope. Our sponsor was Mrs. Schilling. We presented our Junior Play, The Tin Hero , before a well- pleased audience on February 22. We worked very hard to raise money this year. We took care of the concessions at the football games. We sold cards, T-shirts, scarfs, and many other things. On May 3, 1951, we gave the Seniors a oanquet and invited under- classmen and alumni to join us for the Prom afterwards. Much of its success was due to the efforts of Mrs. Schilling, our sponsor. At the end of the year we received our class rings. Boy, did we shine I Our final year at B.H.S. started out in fine style with the ad- dition of Robert Skaggs to our roll. We lost Jacquline Berg. Our Class Officers were: President, Mildred Nick; Vice-President, Lucille Moses; Secretary-Treasurer, Deraid Pouppirt; and Student Coun- cil Representative, Fred Scheller. On October 23, 1951 the Class presented The High School Mystery, a comedy in three acts. On May 11th Bacculaureate Services were held in the High School Auditorium. Class Night was May 13. Finally the great night of May 15th came and the -thirteen members of the Class of '52 bid farewell to B.H.S.

Just as this is brought home to them, however, a real mystery begins—a mystery that involves the mem- bers of the cast, the director and all those concerned with the prod- uction. The leading lady has fainted after being warned by a myster- ious voice to leave the cast at once or suffer the consequences. Thinking this to be a prank on the part of some fun-loving member of the cast, the director orders the young thespians to go on with the rehearsal. They are all particularly anxious to give a good perform- ance as the author of the play is present. At the end of the first act, however, the play has been interrupted again by the elements of the real mystery. From this point on the play is a whirlwind of excitement. A Kidnapping takes place, a murder is almost committed and the members of the cast are thrown into a state bordering on panic when it is dis- covered that some one is out to ruin their performance. The comedy element creeps into every situation and relieves the suspense, and the final denouement is a surprise to all. We deeply appreciate the fine job of directing which Mr. Burch WILL This is the last will and testiment of the Class of 52 . We have spent four long hard years in dear old Basehor High and now we are leaving it to the rest of the coming classes. Before we leave, we would like to say what each and everyone of us are planning to give to the under classmen to help survive the rest of their school years. James McClurg Jim wills his beautiful red hair to Frank E. a boy beyond compare. Allen Goens In football Allen is really great, We leave to Darrell M. this wonderful trait. Jeanette Tidwell Jeanette can answer any question written, This trait goes to a girl named Rose Mary Britton. Leroy Swope Leroy can really jazz out the boogie-beat, We will give this talent to Dale B. to whom it will be quite a treat. Mildred Nick Mildred as a typist can not be beat, She leaves her nack to Loui3 who is really quite neat. Charles Bates Charles is a very good friend to all, We leave hi3 fame to Robert K. to answer every call. Derald Pouppirt Deraid has the art to make any speech, This goes to Gregory E. as a goal to reach. Delores Klinkenberg Delores the shortest in our school, Wills her style to Donald G. who never breaks a rule. Gene Northern Gene is a favorite on the basketball court, We leave his fame to Jerry M. who’s a very good sport. Robert Skaggs Bob is smart and crai'ty as a fox, We bequeath this trait to Robert Box. Lucille Moses Lucille's ability to get out of work in class, Goes to Phyllis, a pretty lass. Lowell Breuer Lowell's witty and clever remarks, We give to Donna B. who sings like a lark. Fred Scheller Fred who can meet all trials, Leaves this ability to Kenny Wiles. PROPHECY And now lets have a look through our giant telescope and see what the Class of '52 has done to improve our great country in the thirty years that they have been turned loose from Basehor High. The first thing that catches our eyes are the many cows owned by Meyer's Dairy which is under the fine management of Jim McClurg. Jim has really worked hard for his job. Golly, look at that big mansion over there and look who is coming out of the door. It is Deraid Pouppirtt Good- ness, just look at the size of his farm. He has sure been a big success. Say, isn't that Charles Bates talk- ing to Fred Scheller? Yes, Charles is getting a contract to build Fred two barns. Fred Scheller says his farm is producing so much that he will have to have more barns. SOS—SOS—Lowell Breuer, famous ex- plorer, lost on the moon. Lucille Moses, Head of the United Nations Lost and Found Department, has- been appointed supervisor of a searching party. Two of her helpers will be Mildred and Jeanette. The former Jeanette Tidwell is now married to John Peterson who is head of the United Nations. They live in a big mansion so as to have room for their fourteen children. Gene Northern Is now Mayor of Base- hor. The population has reached a new peak of 10,000. The Chief of Police, Leroy Swope, is the law enforcing of- ficer. His biggest problem is trying to enforce the traffic regulations on a very energetic rocket pilot, Allen Goens. We see Delores Klinkenberg sitting in her rocking chair knitting a sweater for her grandson. Delores's son and daughter-in-law, are very good friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ward Lavon Kiester, Jr. Bob Skaggs a renowned bachelor, is on a world wide tour. He is now visiting the enchanting country of India. Mildred Nick, a dress designer, is now visiting Mrs. John Peterson in Paris and looking at the latest Fashions.

To raise money the Juniors sold pop and candy at noon and served pop, candy, hot dogs, and etc. at the football games. Also through the year we sold cards, T-shirts, scar- ves, sweat shirts, all with BASE'HOR BOBCATS on them. We worked hard to give the Seniors a banquet in the spring. We owe our success to our sponsor, Kr3. Schilling. « Play Cast Gazella Ups Haw----- Doreen-------------- Harland------------- Tlllle Toothacre---- Canasta Brown------- Hank Peters--------- Bernice Beaver------ Beaseley Scudder---- Miss Verbea Van Wyck Dickey Van Wyck----- Prentis Prouty------ The Faceless Fiend-- Harold Toothacre---- -------Pat Tidwell -----Hazel Gardner Buster Klinkenberg ---Betty Jo Carney ------Alda Scnmutz ---Robert Bozworth ---------Carol Pine -----James Britton ---------Erma Askew --------Edward Hein --------Carl Skaggs -------Kennth Wiles -----William Burke The Eager Miss Beaver a comedy in three acts was presented by The Class of '53 on February 19th in the high school auditorium. Mrs. Gazella Upshaw moves with her son Harland and her daughter Doreen into a musty old mansion, home of the late Azariah Stoner, in order to be near the rich widower Beaseley Scudder and the aristo- cratic spinster. Miss Verbena Van Wyck and her young brother Dicky. Gazella plans to capture Beaseley for her second husband and plans to marry Doreen off to young Van Wyck. Next Gazella invites Bernice Beaver, a distant young cousin, to come live wL th them. Bernice, known as Bunny, reared on a Kansas farm, has inherited a small fortune, which Gazella intends to get in her clutches. She oraers Harland to marry Bunny. Harland tosses a gsketJ He knew Bunny as a child and remembers her as an ignorant, squirrel-toothed, tow-headed brat who drove him wild tagging after him. Harland declared he'd rather DIE than marry that clodhopper—that Kansas Jayhawker from the sticksl Now it happens that Bunny, a very pretty girl, has arrived sooner than expected and hid in the closet planning to leap out and surprise the Upshaws. When she overhears Harland's un- complimentary remarks and Gazella's fortune-hunting plans, she de- termines to teach them a lesson. Later she bounces in disguised as an ugly uncouth country jake-loud-moughed and gum-chewing-with pig- tails and a blacked out prominent tooth. She informs the Upshaws she has come off the farm eager to git herself a city feller. She proceeds to harass the life out of Harland awkwardly fliting wi th him-and she tries to capture every other man who dares venture in the house. The Eager Miss Beaver's capers are hilarious and un- restrained. The Upshaw's lives are further complicated by a hair- raising mystery in the old mansion. The Faceless Fiend haunts the house!

The Bobcats won three games and lost four. Edgerton Missouri, Ozawkie, and Lecompton defeated Basehor, but they were not in the lea- gue. The only league game lost was to Linwood. Our first game of the season was played September 21 against Lin- wood. What an exciting game it was I Gene Northern scored six points and Buster Klinkenberg also scored six. The final score was Linwood 13— Basehor 12. In the second game, the Bobcats showed more power by defeating Lansing 25 to 19« Buster K. and Dale W. were the boys making all the points for the Bobcats. During the last 10 seconds of the game Carl Ray Skaggs threw a long pass to Buster who carried the ball over the goal line to put Basehor on top. The final game of the season was played November 8, against Lans- ing. This game meant the championship. The score at half time was 14- 7 in Basehor's favor. Then the Bobcats really put on the steam. Gene N. and Buster K. made all the points for Basehor and Dale and Lowell Breuer did an outstanding job of putting the brake on the Lans- ing Lion. Gene N. Made a total of 2 touchdowns and 3 extra points. Bu3ter K. made 3 touchdowns and 2 extra points. Buster K. was high point scorer for the season with a total of 107 points; Gene N. second, with 24 points; Dale W. Third, with 12 points; and Bob Bozworth fourth, with 1 point. In addition to the ones that scored, credit should go to Carl Skaggs for a grand job with his passing attack, Allen Goens and Dale Breuer with their great tack- ling ability, and Lowell Breuer who did a nice job at end. The co-Captains elected at the end of the season were Gene Northern, and Allen Goens.

The Bobcats first team had a very successful season this year. They shared the Tri-County League Conference first-place crown with the defending Lansing Lions and placed second in the Tri-County League Tournament at Lansing. (We would like to thank Lansing for being such fine hosts at this annual League Tournament.) In the District BB Tournament, held at Piper, the Bobcats defeated Stanley and then bowed to the Easton Dragons to take second place in this Tournament. This win entitled the team to go to the Regional Tournament at Paola. At this Tournament Basehor was lefeated in the first round by Michigan Valley by the score of i.1-55. The most exciting game of the season saw Basehor defeat Lansing on their home court by the narrow margin of two points. When the final smoke of battle cleared away the Bobcats had won fourteen games while losing only six for the season. We would like to thank our coach, Mr. Cink, for all the work he did to make the Bobcats a winning team. Of the twenty-three boys out for Basketball eleven of them re- ceived first team letters. They were Paul Peterson, Eugene Northern, Leroy Swope, Louis Box, Jerry Mussett, Carl Ray Skaggs, Charles Bates, William Klinkenberg, Robert Bozworth, Dale Williams, and Charles Peterson. Deraid Pouppirt was awarded the Manager letter. The four boys lettering on the second team were Donald Grisham, Jerry Crown, Junior Northern, and Darrell Miller.

HERCULKS' NIGHT OUT Members of the Cast: Hercules Nelson Wilbur Maxwell Betty Lou Mr. Maxwell Mrs. Maxwell Gerald Connie Director Carl Ray Skaggs Bobby Bozworth Pat Tidwell Jim 3ritton Jeanette Tidwell William Klinkenberg Hazel Gardner Principal W. L. Kiester Hercules Nelson is Wilbur Maxwell's busom pal, and has been for most of his thirteen years. Comes now a big occasion in his life. He is going to spend the night with Wilbur and the Maxwell's. One usually remembers the first night at a friend's house, and the Max- well's won't forget this one for a while, either. Of all nights for company, it would be when papa is trying to balance his books. At two A. M. Mr. Maxwell is peacefully working when Here comes downstairs and announces he can't sleep—he's sick—he wants to go home—he's scared, and he soon has the whole family up. (That is except daughter Connie who hasn't as yet come home. She was supposed to be in by 12:00 but she hasn't come yet.) They try to lull Hercules to sleep with bedtime stories and finally sleeping pills. Lveryone takes one trying to get Here to take one but he won't. One by one the family drops off to sleep except Hercules. He stays awake and gets five dollars in black- mail from Gerald when Connie gets home.
