THE -'ZOMBIEH On September 4, 1950, twenty dignified seniors made SENIOR CARNN IIXI their way into the halls of BCRHS for their last high school year. The following were elected officers of the senior class: President, Ralph Downing, Vice-President, Edwin Deeds, Secretary, Rex Glasco,Treasurer, Loretta Lillichg and Student Council Representa- tive, Shirley Kite. The sponsors were Miss Zeller and Mr. Hoffert. To begin a successful year the seniors presented the traditional carnival with a Hallowe'en theme. Chances were sold on a Speed Queen Mangle. The lucky winner was Mr. Asa johnson of Bird City, Kansas. The minstrel stage show given before the carnival opened was a novelty and a real success. l On October 19, 1950, the seniors-- dressed in their Sunday best-- had their pictures taken. The large picture was presented to an appreciative audience on May 19 and 20. The highlight of the year was the senior trip, at the end of the year, which was educational and most enjoyable. The last two public appearances of this class of 1951 were Baccalaureate and Commencement. After the graduation exercises caps and gowns were packed away and twenty graduates stood ready to assume higher responsi- bilities toward citizenship in their com- munity and nation. .X GRADUATION 'N WEB ' x 0 O . as Q ' h '25 .I 9. ass rap any .j is To 9 'V ' no' As I, Nina Eggers, was walking down Fifty-First Street in the great 9 metropolis of Bird City one morning in the early fall of 1961, I noticed the sign, Genius at Work, on the door of a small and mysterious-looking LOOPENSTEIN shop. Filled with curiosity, I entered and, as I did so, was greeted by LOOP DE Loop none other than my old friend, Loyd Loop. It seemed that he had become quite a famous scientist and inventor and had changed his name to Loopen- stein. ln the midst of our reminiscences of old times, Loyd and I decided it would be great fun to see all our old classmates again, so, grabbing our senior annual, We jumped into Loyd's latest discovery, the Batmobile, and started on our way. As we speeded along, Loyd fusing one of his inventions, the super mental telepathy phonejcontacted his assistant, Melvin Mequire, who had taken a rocket to Mars for the week-end. When Loyd told him of our plans for a class reunion he promised to return immediately. The first classmate we looked up was the Mayor of Bird City, Pat Loop. Pat and his wife, Loop de Loop Ca famous Spanish dancerj, had just re- turned from a trip abroad and were over- joyed to see us. They, too, were eager to see their old classmates again so we all got into the Batmobile and drove to the east part of town where we stopped at the campus of the Bird City University to see Donna Gaddis, Dean of the Uni- versity, and Estella Borman, Professor of commercial subjects. After touring the university grounds, we invited Donna WU'-U and Estella to accompany us on' our trip, and, as we returned to our conveyance and glanced across the street, we noticed a smalloptometristshop. Again curiosity struck us, so we ventured in and were quite surprised to see that the proprietor was none other than Marlene Holscher. During the course of the conversation, we gathered that Marlene had finally talked that conceited sophomore into becoming her assistant. Business has been so good, said Marlene, that I think l can afford to close up the shop for today and join you. I am especially eager to see Loretta Lillich. l hear that she is now the top model for Charm Magazine. So returning to our Bat- mobile, we whizzed over to the Charm Magazine headquarters to find Loretta in her private dressing room. She informed kb -R79 i F f Sl ' an 61- EDDIE DALE I I vii t L LILLl MAY us that she had just finished modeling for the cover of the October issue of the magazine and had planned to spend the rest of the day coaching Dale Nelsen, the boxer. Since we wished to see Dale also, we asked , K 'Q Loretta to join us. This she did and we drove to the 'diff E Golden Gloves, where we found him practicing for his -mv comeback--just in case he ever does win. Dale was Q very glad to see us and decided to break trainingnfor T one day and accompany us. We next went to the Metro- , politan Opera House where everything seemed to be in 3' confusion with the attendants rushing around with 5 'if , brooms and buckets. It seems a one hundred thousand 5 dollar chandelier had begun to vibrate and had been 5 severed from its moorings by the famous soprano, Miss 154 R Muths, when she hit supersonic high C ten octaves a- ' l bove C natural. The attendants informed us that this ED note is so high that even the sensitive ears of a dog could not hear it. We congratulated Lola Mae Know H4 ' Lilli Mayj on her success and she offered to take us to see Ed Deeds who, having J 4, been inspired by the senior stage show, was now a famous dance instructor. We A Q drove to Ed's large and spacious sftudio and found it swamped with people waiting to take dancing lessons. Ed had developed his own dancing technique Qcalled Ruhtra Yarrumb and people were wild about it. ln fact, Ed told us, poor Arthur . Murray was now begging for a living sinceihe had run him out of business. Q I ,-,r Ed left his business to his one hundred and fifty trained assistants and we Q. all drove to the Bird City press to see Rex Glasco, who seemed to be doing fine DOZIS EA as a publisher--with that blonde assistant. Rex had done so well that he thought he could afford to take us alltolunch so we decided to go up to the Kite-Brethower Tower. Shirley was overjoyed to see us again but we were rather disappointed that Verle was not there. Shirley said he was on a campaign tour--still trying to raise money to pay the debts the seniors made when they published their annual. After a very delicious lunch we left the Tower, ac- companied by Shirley, and continued our tour. The next classmate we visited was Warren Erickson at the Scent- agon Building where he seemed to be doing great on TV. ln fact, we learned from one of his ardent admirers that he had just stolen Godfrey's show and was now looking for a place to bury it before the F.B.l. caught up with him. Warren joined us as we then drove to the outskirts partnership in the business. After serving us a refreshing glass of lemonade, Doris Lea joined us as we started on our way to see Ralph Downing. lt seemed that Ralph had invested most of his moneyin the car business and he and Loyd had collaborated to manufacture the Batmobile. After Ralph took us through his factory we all left for the BC Studio where we found LeRoy Henkel directing a of Bird City where we came upon a little cabin nestled in the hills. Here we stopped to see Marj Bartlett who had moved from the large city to a secluded spot where she could concentrate on finishing her fourth book entitled Then There Was jim. After a nice long chat with Marj, she insisted that we muSt visit her neighbor, Doris Lea Dunn, who owned a large modern ranch just a short dis- tance away. We drove to the ranch to see Doris Lea who greeted us warmly. She said things were going fine on the ranch, it seemed Delbert was still trying to get a were directed to the stage with unwavering attention. A trumpet sounded! and into the blaze of the spotlight stepped our old classmate playing the sweetest music this side of Denver! Gene Young had made good! Gene, having satisfied his fans, came over to our table and joined us. And there, in the Sl Club, we concluded our class reunion and, as Old Father Time GENE new picture co-starring Miss Kathy Zeller and the famous French actor, Neil Hamm. LeRoy seemed rather happy with his work and the same was observed of the two stars LeRoy insisted on taking us all out to the Sl Club, owned and operated by Hoffert and Sons. While we were dining there, Verle and Melvin joined us. Then suddenly, without warning, the band played a fanfare. All eyes ticked away the hour of midnight, we drank a toast to the Class of 1951. The members of the class' bade Mr. Hoffert and Miss Zeller goodbye and thanked them once again for all the assistance they had given them during their high school days. Everyone went his own way and l returned to 'the NELW where l resumed my duties as captain. Tired but happy, I realized it had truly been a wonderful day. haw' We, the members of the senior class of 1951, of the city of Bird City, county of Cheyenne and the state of Kansas, being of sound mind and memory Chaving withstood the hardships and worries of four unforgettable years of high school lifel, in preparation for our passing on into a future life, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us.
