Miss Mary Louise Jackson also struck a pleasant note modeling the seasons most stunning bathing suits, designed by Henry Vaughn, the Adrian of New York. That is all the news on the home front so here is your foreign correspondent. Good evening, this is Doris Elliott speaking from Bagdad. Sara Virginia Lee, the first woman president of the U. S. has appointed Marie Lietzan as ambassador to Iraq. She will leave New York tomorrow to assume her new duties. From China comes the news that Pat Jennings has succeeded in her campaign to abolish the custom of binding women’s feet.

While there, he will purchase a tobacco plantation for the Leffert Tobacco Company owned and operated by Fern Leffert, who inherited it from her father.

Betty Wendt leaves her cheerleading ability and her following of boys to Jean McKenzie. Dave Enloe leaves this six line poem in behalf of the senior class. Goodbye-dear old Bonner, Keep up your trail of Honor, Goodbye Bonner High. Though from you I am going. My life to you I’m owing. Goodbye, Bonner High. The whole Senior Class reluctantly leaves Miss Stilwell, the sponsor, to the Junior Class. 40 The plans were drawn up sometime in the early spring, and it is intended that the work should begin immediately on the new addition to our high school. The addition will include a gymnasium, auditorium, vocational agriculture department and shops, and the music department. At the close of the present school term work will begin on the remodeling of the present school building. Among other planned changes will be the converting of the present gymnasium into four rooms by putting in a floor at the level of the present balcony. The basement floor level will be used for the cafeteria and in- dustrial arts department--the upper floor for the library and small auditorium. The building is planned on the basis of the enrollment of 500 students. It is believed that the remodeling will adequately take care of the needs of the Bonner Springs High School for many years to come. 41 Pow-Wow Artists “League champs of 1952.” Pedestrians----beware. 43 “Candied-dates for the Pop Ball.” (Stuffed, of course) This is the “inside dopes (of sixth-hour study hall) 44 CROWNING OF THE HOMECOMING QUEEN QUEEN Virginia Scott STANDING, left to right: Ginger Penrod, Senior Attendant; Wary Ruth McKee, Junior Attendant; Jackie Wagenknecht, Sophomore Attendant; David Enloe,Football Captain; Cathy Williams, Fresh- man Attendant.
