Don Limkemann Ldmkemann Prairie View Farm Hayaeed, Missouri Dear Don: It hardly seems as though seventeen years has passed us by since our graduation from dear old Bowen High. I just now realized that for me it has been too long a spell without seeing and talking to all of m old classmates. Sitting around home the other evening I thought it would be nice if I could gather as much material on our former classmates as possible and bring everyone up to date. I have somewhat condensed this material into letter form and have produced seventeen copies of it, of course I had to alter each one to conform to the reader's personal history and p esent occupation but it was well worth the effort and by the way, I saved yours till last. I suppose that you are as well up on the local news as I but you will have to bear with me for some of our more bolder classmates have really exciting and strange lives as of now: to say the least! I read of course in the society page that you and'Kathleen were married and conducted one of the biggest weddings ever seen in eastern Missouri. I also hear that the farm her father turned over to you is quite p osperous. Thanks a lot for naming your second boy after me. You probably know by now that Larry Webster and Glenadene Phillips were married just last year. They had quite a time seeing each other since Glenadene attended four years of college at Macomb and Larry was busily engaged in his lifelong ambition: farming. They now have adorable twin girls and Larry's sideline business of Diapers Lmtd. comes in quite handy at times. I read just the other day where our fellow classmate Rudy Launer is the owner of a chain of garages all over the world. He is still waiting for his high school sweetheart, Judy Shipe, to propose. I guess that Rudy is just as shy and retiring as ever. A Kay Akers is now a housewife with two lovely children. She sure is happy about the children since one is a boy and the other a girl, just the way she always wanted it. Of course her hub- by is a '52 graduate of B.H.S. and he now owns four locker plants in Southern California. Janis Ufkes, your old flame, finally caught her man after much exasperating nagging and pleading and she now has him pinned down in Denver: Denver, Illinois that is! As she always was interested in the activities of B.H.S. and having married a former Bowen High graduate, she cor- responds with the members of our class of 57 and I have learned that SHQ now hu a gig-1 to go with her twin boys. ' Warren Cook has finally gained success as an actor, Warren's favorite role being thg Latin Lover type and his latest hit movie, 'Hot Blood,' typifies his everyday life. Warren sure has changed and I gather that he is now known by the title HScourge of Hollywoodln Larry Post took up automobile mechanics school and has also done well in other fields. He took a cute little blonde, Cwhom he met in Hawaii while in the Armyl, and is now raising three boys to be true-blue hot rodders. You would never believe it but Marilyn Boekhaus has settled down to be a common housewife after her journey into the interior of the dark C0ntinent to gather material for her latest novel 'The Ape and I.' By the way, her husband is a jet pilot in the Arabian air force. Your old friend. Elaine Neill, leads a most hectic life these days. As you know she married a farmer but the way I hear it he got the adventuresome blood in his veins and Elaine now calls her home Bombay, India. That is making a long story short. I had a letter from her the other day and I guess her little boy is getting along fine after he ran away from their hut and was nearly massacred by those vicious Indian headhunters. Jim Hartley married his steady girl friend and has settled down on his farm near Chatton. Jim is doing real well with his vocation and he is also progressing in other branches. Jim be- came the proud father of his third boy a week ago. The eldest of the three is already 6 foot and he is only a freshman in high school. I hope it isn't too hard for you to believe that E.J. Pullins married Elvis Presley's daugh- ter end is happily engaged as his daddy-in-law's publicity director. E.J. has a pair of rock'n rollin' baby girls. Following his tour of duty in Ireland with the Army, Don Eichman claimed a Scottish 185519 and brought her home where he immediately married her. As we all expected of him he has settled down quite peacefully and is farming near Bowen. Jim Cleland hung up his navy blues after four years on the USS Nautilas. He has promised Charlotte Elder to wed so I guess the adventuresome spirit that he is noted for has died some, what. Of course Phyllis Snyder caught her man when he returned from the Army and they are now con- centrating mainly on raisins a few little swines of their own. Continued on page after Freshmen SENIOR CLASS POEM Kay Akers is the first in line, She thinks matrimony is real fine. Quiet, shy and always fun, A beauty parlor she expects to run. Big Jim Hartley and his Chevolet Goes to Chatton almost every day To that Central Junior, he throws out his heart And hopes that they will never part. ,A really fine girl is Janis Kaye Who remains loyal, and will always say, Black Chevies are her favorite cars In which to go and stud the stars. Burnard McHone, the old debator Can't decide between Marines and Slater, Elaine seems to have the upper hand Cause he thinks she's simply grand. Elaine Neill, our bride-to-be Is waiting to change that UIW to Uwe' Kids she wants by the stacks To help keep down the income tax. Don Limkemann's Missouri gal Is something more than just a pal On every nice day, he begins to get itchy To climb in his car and cross the Mississippi. Marilyn B, an industrious lass Stands quite near, the top of her class In her yard she loves to labor Especially, when she can see her neighbor. Larry Webster, better known as 'Doc' Is building up his herd of stock His future plans are to begin farming. As well as do some first-class charming. CGlenadene that is.l Next we view our Glenadene A nicer girl you've never seen, She's smart, alert and always wary, Who has for her own, a boy named Larry. Our class 'Elvis' is Warren Cook Who really keeps his nose in his book, Except when there are nice girls around, Then he becomes quite the-clown. Another lad is Pullins, E.J. You never can tell what he will say. Of one thing, though, there's no doubt It'll be Pat Laffey that he takes out. Donnie Eichman and his little red car Is sometimes seen with a girl from afar what her name is he won't tell But we think it may be Lazy, or June, or Nell. Larry Post really shocked the nation when he purchased'the local cream station. his question now is 'How in the dickens Uo you make any money handlingchickens?W The quiet one in class of course is Rud As many of us are, he is sometimes mood But His And Who Out if you should mention a certain g1rl's ears prick up, and his face in a flame. finally there's that Cleland boy seems to be Char-lotte's Joy. in his Studie under the moon or perhaps in the sun in mid-afternoon. Kay Wear our last charming lass Had quite an interest in the Junior Class You can see by the way she looks at Paul That to her, he is her one and all. So there you have it the 57 Class A stanza about each lad and lass May it bring you Joy in years that are ahead, At least we hope that it will be read.

Glenadene Phillips, Kay Akers, Jim Hartley, E. J. Pullins, and Burnard McHone have attended all twelve years together in Bowen. Janis Ufkes and Donald Eichman attended four years at Lauderdale School and the other eight in Bowen. On August 27, 1953, twenty-four timid and bashful freshman began their adventurous high school career. We survived a week of hilarious initiation, at which time we d1dn't know if we were meeting a boy or girl, or whether we were coming or going. After initiation, we settled down to business and elected class officers. Mrs. Preyt and Mr. Rueb were our class sponsors. The first event of any importance was a hay-rack ride which was well attended. We sold mag- azines, picked up corn, sponsored a paper drive, and from the concessions at the ball games, we started building up a balance in our treasury. Our class started out with ten girls and four- teen boys, but we had the misfortune of losing Lavone Silbuagh, Loretta Hastings, Lennie Miller, and Bill Worsten. We also gained Lois Kroencke from Warsaw and Jim Cleland from Plymouth. This was an exciting year because we helped cheer our basketball team to State. At the beginning of our sophomore year we had twenty-five members. During the 1955-55 YOTHQ however, we lost Larry Clampit, and gained Warren Cook and Phyllis Snyder. We elected class officers with Mr. Lewis as our class sponsor. We sponsored a talent show October fifteenth , which turned out to be a huge success. In 1955, as Juniors, we were beginning to feel important. We started out with twenty-three members having lost Frank Graham and James Cleland during the summer, and shortly during the year we lost Roger Bilderback, Ann Vest who married Junior Whitaker, Alice Jo Heft who married Jim Elder, Donna Jackson who moved to Centerville, Iowa, and Lois Kroencke who mover to Liberty. We gained Dick Cramer from Plymouth. Our sponsors were Mr. Stoneking and Mrs. Stone. On Sept- tleber sixth, we ordered our class r1ngs,the UFifty-Ninersn and received th m on October eleven- th. Next came the Junior Play after many long practices, and on the night of November twenty second, our play, 'The Haunted High Schooln, was presented. The cast consisted of Marilyn Boek- heus, I. J. Pqllins, Lois Kroencke, Donald Kimkemann, Janis Ufkes, Donna Jackson, Glenadene Phillips, Larry Webster, Jim Hartley, Larry Post, Kay Akers, Kay Wear, Donald Eichman, Ann Whit- aker, Mr. Stoneking as our director and our play was a success. The Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was held Friday, May eleventh. The banquet being held in the Bowen Methodist Church, and Prom in the gymnasium. Carrying out our theme of UEvening in Psris,H the prom was a success. On April thirteenth, we ordered our name cards, and picked out our announcements. It'e now 1957 and time to say our good-bye's. But we are anticipating several things a- mong them being the Junior-Senior Prom, Graduation, and the Senior trip. We have many pleasant memories, that of our Talent Show, school parties, and our Senior Play, nCrazy But Cute,n which was a success, directed by Mr. Stoneking and the cast consisting of Donald Limkemann, Marilyn 500khlU'o Larry Webster. Jim Hartley. E- J- Pullinl. Janis urkea, Glenadene Phillips, Elaine Neill, Kay Wear, Kay Akers, Larry Post, and Phyllis Snyder. We chose pink and white as our CIBII C010rl Ind fh0 f10V0r1s the pink rose. The senior officers were! Jim Hartley--President! Donald Limkemann--Vice President, Glenadene Phillips--Secreteryg Larry Webster--Treasurerg Kay Akers--Student Council Representativeg Janis Ufkes--Reporter, and Mr. and Mrs. Davis were class sponsors. We started out our senior year with seventeen, but had the misfortune of losing Phyllis Snyder, who moved to Quincy. These are some of the accomplishments of the active class of 57'. Some may hint intangible things like putting on the Junior and Senior plays, cheering a great ball team to victory, and sometimes heartbreak because we lost. Then, of course, there are the friendships with all our schoolmates, and teachers. These are some of the things we will remember in our high school days. As we are about ready to leave dear old Bowen High, we would like to leave you with our Motto, HTo Make Results, Not Excuses.N Graduates ' f Seniors A HRESULTS, Juniors - r f f NUI' Sophomores BXCUSBSN Freshmen f ' - 4' Fall Fall Fall Fall May 1953 1955 1955 1956 1957 0 N W A R D A N D U P W A R D , A L W A Y S l 'T vi C.

The topic of Civil Defense was dlcoussed during a radio program over WCAZ on February 21. More money was added to our treasury after the successful bake sale in early March and later on during the windy month we journeyed to Pittsfield for the annual Spring Rally which was a lot of fun and very educational.

In the County Tournament the Pu1ldog's won over Plymouth to advance to the semi-finals. This game was hard fought all the way with the final score being sixty-four to sixty-one. In the semi-final game Dallas bested the Bowen quintet and also went on to win the tournament. In the consolation game Augusta again dom- inated the Bowen quintet.

' ' The scores are as follow: Bowen 2 Bowen 3 Bowen U Bowen 5 Bowen 3 Bowen 11 Bowen 6 Bowen 2 Augusta 7 Nauvoo O Colusa 1 Plymouth 6 Colchester U Augusta 2 Nauvoo 2 Colusa 7 Bowen 8 Plymouth 18 In our first game of the year we were beaten by Augusta by the decisive score of 7 to 2. The next game was with Nauvoo at Nauvoo whom we defeated b a score of 3 to O with Webster hurling a no-hitter. Then came Colusa whom we beat by a score of 4 to 1. We hit the road again and went to Plymouth where we were turned back by a score of 6 to 5. This was a heart breaker since we were ahead 5 to 3 with 2 men out and 2 men on base with 2 strikes on the batter and you can easily guess the rest, the batter up hit a home run to end the ball game with us being on the losing end. Our next entanglement was with Colchester who beat us by a score of U to 3. we then journeyed to Augusta where we trounced them by a score of 11 to 2. Nauvoo then came here and we defeated them by a score of 6 to 2. we then went to Colusa where we walloped them 22 to 7 but came home and in our next game were defeated by Plymouth 18 to 8. we hope to avenge some of theseudefeats and make our spring season a more prosperous one. Basketball Continued Earlier in the season the Bulldog's journeyed to the lst Astoria Invitational Tournament where they took second place by winning their first two games and losing their third game to a very powerful Ashland team. This team in the last report we had they had a record of nineteen wine against no defeats. So far-as the record shows it isn't to good but many of the games have been close. In the Plymouth game it took a double over time to decide the victor who was Ply- mouth and in the Central game a last second shot to give them the victory by one point. But as some people seem to forget it is not always only the victor who wins but the other team also in the way in which they grow up and learn to take defeat in stride. wg wish to thank the fans who so loyally followed ns. In the district tournament the Bulldogs trounced Terre Haute fLomax7 by a score of eighty to fourty-three. In the championship game the Bowen quintet was bested by Colusa to end the season for the team and to end the basketball for the three seniors Larry Webster, Jim Hartley, and Burnard McHone. - COMPLIMENTS OF - Roy A.
