Our first high school dates back to 1907 when a law was pass- ed and Bowling Green was approved by the state. Of course Bowling Green has always glven high school work, but not in four year courses as we think of it to-day. In 1910 Bowling Green had its first full four units of credit with nine months school. The first high school was in the old building where the grade school now stands on Locust Street. The were in the same building with the grade school. 'May 29, 1916 the ground was purchased to build Pike College, which is the build ing that burned in 1922. The students moved in the fall of 1916 and this was the first separate high school of Bowling Jreen. A shed was built on to the grade school while g.ngw building was being erected. This happens to be our present high school which was completed in 1923. It stands on the same soil where Pike College was. The following are the number of graduates of Bowling Green High 1907- 1908- 1909- 1910- 1911- 1912- 1913- 1914- 1915- 1916- 1917- 1918- 1919- 1920- 1921- School since 1907. 9 1922-Q22 9 1925--21 12 1924--22 11 1925--27 12 1926--24 14 1927--43 13 1928--28 12 1929--56 17 1950--24 17 1931--44 25 1932--56 25 1933--59 25 1934--52 51 1955--40 14 1936--50 The following are the superintendents since 1910. 0 A B A . .

The Captain of this Crew of Adventurers was Miss Grace Fields who steered them safely through the first years course. I record this date as memorable because in that group of thirty-eight first graders were Henry Palmer Eames, Jr., Claudine Flood, Bonham Gibbs Freeman, J. D. Haley, Albert Manzke, Willeyne Robertson, and Joseph Sanderson have made a voyage of 12 years together members of the graduating class of 1956 and are On September 1925, we felt we were world as our names were now enrolled on Miss Martha Blair as Second Graders. Miss Blair who now getting on in the the Grade Book of OUT' efficient leader aroused the spirit of rivalry in us and we were divided into groups known as the Bees an flies and we struggled harder than ever to maste art of Readln', 'R1t1ng, and 'R1thmet1c. How we our tongues to keep the ufoxesu out of our Ndood Gardena. In September 1926, we moved across the hall Miss Annabelle K1ng's room, teacher of the third Today we revere her beloved memory and remember pleasant smile. Miss h1ng's assistants were Mis d Better r the guarded English into grade. her s Helen May and Miss Darline Shotwell. A new member, Anne Mae Bonnell Joined our ranks in 1926 and journeyed on wlth us until we reached the Sth Milestone of our edu catlonal voyage. Departmental work was started in this grade and we had lively races mastering the multiplica tion tables by answering cards placed around the room. Again September 1927, found us in the fourth grade and again we were fortunate in having Miss Marth a Blair as teacher with Mr. Maddox, Miss Shotwell, and Miss Rose assisting. I am sure some of the Seniors who ar SSO good looking today owe it to Miss Blair, who inspected us each morning to see if our face, hands, nails , etc. were clean and if we had a handkerchief. Chalk dust was used as nail white in a vain attempt to conceal the death from Miss Bla1r's watchful eye. 6 r It was also ln this grade that a certain Senior attempted to eat an apple in school and was made to stand and eat an apple before the class as a result. Grade five was really important for it was then we went upstairs where the nB1gn folks had their classes Our teachers in this grade were Miss Freshwater, Miss Dorothy Lewis, and Mr. Maddox. We were joined by Edna Gamm, our former classmate, also by Lillian Palmer and Myrtle Guy Jett. There was an epidemic of scarlet fever in school and we were examined every day by nurses until the boys learned the trick of drinking lots of cold water before being examined to avold running a temperature. The outstanding event of this year was the organiza- tion of a Rhythm Band directed by Miss Freshwater. Did I we feel glamorous in our costumes of red wool Jackets and white trousers and skirts? In our sixth year we were Joined by Evelyn Shy who came in from a Rural School. Miss Louise Hose, our teacher was sick most of the year and Mrs. Middleton substituted, assisted by Miss Freshwater and Mr. Maddox. M . Maddox wrote one of his interesting plays and taught us the ability to perform in it on Halloween. Our class won a half-day holiday for selling more tickets than any other class to the Operetta. The upper grades produced a Gypsy Operetta and we all took part and felt very important in our gypsy costumes In the seventh grade the name of J. O. Mackey was added to our role. We were really HSomebodyH in the seventh grade for were we not the oldest pupils in school and how we did lord it over those who were unfortunate enough to be in the lower grades. Our teachers in this grade were Mr. Ballance and Miss Freshwater. The boys took Manual Training under Mr. Ballance and the girls took sewing under Miss Lewis. The grade school put on a Negro Minstrel which was very good and the following members of our class took part in it, J. D. Haley, Henry Eames, Claudine Flood, Willeyene Robertson, Jack Freeman, Lillian Palmer, and Edna Gamm. ,, ir We enjoyed the Spelling Matches and Arithmetic contests which were frequently held in this grade. For our eighth grade we turned our steps to the High School a step we had been eagerly looking forward to for many years but we were doomed to lose that feeling of superiority which we had developed in the seventh grade for we were now just the nbabiesu of the Junior High. Miss Jessie Sanderson was our Sponsor and she worked with us faithfully preparing us for our eighth grade graduation. Can we ever forget the night of the Graduation when we sat upon the stage in our first long dresses and grown up suits? Never as High School graduates can we feel as important or be so dressed up as we were as eighth grade graduates. It was in the eighth grade that our boys and girls basket ball stars made their debut and came out for basket ball practice. Those eighth graders who were out for basket ball were: Claudine Flood, Lillian Palmer, Willeyne Robertson, Edna Gamm, Anna Mae Bonnell, Lora Mae Murphy, J. D. Haley, Henry Eames, Jr., Jack Freeman, Joe Sanderson, and J. O. Mackey. Two new members, Bessie Crane and Lucile Sandlfer were added to our group at this time. In September 1932, we sailed forth as Freshmen and we were as green as the greenest. Miss Cobb was our Sponsor. Quite a number of new faces were seen in our group this year namely: Leroy Feather, Homer Givens, Clark Gillum, Russell Hobbs, Nell Marie Latimer, Ethyl May, Don Hulse, Helen Moore, Lucile Smith, May Virginia Slater, and John Price Wilson. One of the outstanding events in our Freshmen year was the picnic we went on to Buffalo. The good eats we had and the good swim will long be remembered. Our Class President this year was Henry Eames, Jr. Miss Marion Schrock was our Sophomore Sponsor and we enjoyed a large number of hikes and picnics. One enjoyable time was the picnic at Louisiana. Our Class President this year was Merle Henderson. In our Junior year Patty Lee. Vera OFF. Laura R111-h West, and Helen Walker Harrelson Joined our class. Our Sponsor was Mr. Wilson. o le shall not forget the Sunrise Breakfast with the Seniors which we enjoyed at 5:00 A. I. but several Juniors were left behind and they have always regretted it Another enjoyable affair was the trip to Briar Patch with the Seniors. The High Light in any Jun1or's life is the Junior- Senior banquet and how beautiful and chivalrous we all looked and felt on that night of nights when we met in the basement of the Christian Church which we had geiorated to resemble a ship. Our President was Lillian a mer. Our Senior year has been a happy one as all Senior years are. Some of our members have made outstanding records as basket ball players, being named on All Star Teams. Some others have been outstanding in Debating, Track, Dramatlcs, etc. and we have been very happy under the leadership of our Sponsor lr. Elmore. An enjoyable social event of the Senior year was the Senior party and we will always remember our picnics, and the Baccalaureate sermon on May 10th. One new member came into the class this year J. C. Humphrey who moved here from Elsberry. Now that our school life in Bowling Green is closing we shall always consider it a privilege to have had B. G. H. S. as our Alma Mater and as the years go by and you'll always find us ready and loyal and boosting for our Dear Old High.

Miss Latimer, I think that you know, what I am preparing to say to you, do you not?N 'Yes sir, I do. I know my work has not met your standards You mean of course, that you will have to discharge me.n 'Quite right. You may leave tomorrow, or in a day or so, as soon as I am able to get a stenographer. That is all, thank youfu 'Yes s1r.n I turned and hurried quickly out of the room, biting my lips to keep them from quivering. Hot, stinging tears came to my eyes, but I forced them back. The 1nJust1ce of it all made me very angry--forty letters to get out in two hours--it was an impossibility. , The next day I left. Mr. Graves called me again to his office and paid me half of my weeks salary, Sl0.00. Bitter thoughts flashed to my mind, but I drove them back, and in- stead turned to go without a word. HEr--just a secretary. Miss I raised my Then I drew back nLaura Ruth minute. I want to introduce to you my new West, Miss Lat1mer.' 1 eyes and stretched forth my hand coldly. West! Of all thingsln Surprise made it im- possible for me to go on. Feeling Mr. Graves eyes upon me, and realizing that I was wasting his valuable time, I hastily withdrew, stopping to Bay, WI hope that you are more successful than I.U Outside, I drew a deep breath! Well, so my old friend was filling my place. I fought down the jealous feeling that struggled to get the best of me, and walked the street. Out slowly down of a Job--only 850.00 in the bank. Oh yes, and the 510.00 in my purse. Well, the heavens alone knew what was ahead for me 6 ir The next two weeks were a dreary succession of newspaper ads, applications for positions, and refusals. On Saturday night of the second week, I was desperate. I realized that I couldn't keep on like this much longer. Wearily, I picked up the paper and again scanned through the ads. No secretaries were wantedf-nothing but house work. Well, I decided, as a last resort I could do housework--suddenly a very small ad caught my eye. Wanted: NTwo girls to act as air stewardesses. Un- married, neat appearance, and 22 years of age. Should I try it? But of course--anything! I went the next morning and out of the sixteen girls who had applied, I was one of the two who were chosen. On the Bible, we swore that we would remain unmarried for a period of two years, while in service. .I learned that the plane was going to make a round-the-world trip, and that we were to leave in two days. The day of our departure came and I with another excited girl stood beside the plane--the first in which I had ever ridden. We were given our last instructions and then we hurried up the steps and found ourselves in one of the largest planes I had ever seen. It took us at least thirty minutes to feel at ease among our new surroundings. Our uniforms were of a very heavy dark blue material, with white emblems--quite attractive. All passengers being aboard, the pilot, a tall, angular girl stepped in. I turned, naturall enough, to examine her more closely, when I suddenly gave a slight gasp. My companion stewardess, Barbara Miles, grasped my arm, as though she feared I was ill. However, I soon re- covered, but I still felt rather groggy from the shock--that pilot, the pilot of the plane in which I was going to be stewardess, was none other than an old B. G. student of the Senior Class of 1955-36--Myrtle Jett! I recalled the time she had remarked that to be an avlatress was one of her ambitions. But we as Seniors, feel so confident, that I had placed little belief in her statement. But, wonders of all wonders, it had happened! After all, I decided, am- bitions were not in vain, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. - The next few hours, we were busy attending to the needs- of our passengers. E r From the conversation going on about me, I gathered that the two stunningly dressed girls were making a trip to New York. I saw them turn to speak to the lady directly back of them, who looked several years older than they. Her face seemed quite familiar, and as I continued to gaze, a name flashed into my mind--Lillian Palmer. Before I stopped to think, I was calling her by name and asking her if she re- membered me. She explained that she was now principal of University City High School, and was taking these two girls, who were entitled to the trip because of their scholastic standing, to see New York. Barbara tapped me on the arm, and I quickly stepped back. I had forgotten my instructions-- no conversation of my own lniative was allowed on the ship. At Chicago, a tall, dark haired man boarded the ship. The amount of luggage which he was carrying surprised me. He dropped a pencil from his vest pocket which rolled to the far end of the plane. I retrieved it for him, and was saying in a conventional manner, NI beg your pardon, slr, but you dropped your pencil--,U when I stopped. I couldn't go any farther. NOh yes, thank you, now if you'll only help me get this--,N and Albert Manzke stopped too. Hwell I'm a--. How are you Nell Mar1e?H He exclaimed. And then as I continued to stare at him, he went on to tell that he was flying to Italy to study under the famous voice instructor, Vido Guadio. He told me that he had begun to get a foothold in the world of music, and after his four years of study, he planned to make his debut at the Metropolitan. This time, since I had not begun the conversation, I felt free to talk, and since there was no immediate tasks at hand, we enjoyed several minutes of conversation. I took him back to Lillian and left them to enjoy themselves. I was beginning to feel rather glad that Fate had thrown me in such a position. And then I had an inspiration. Realizing that opportunities such as those, did not come every day, I decided to make note of all my class mates of 1935-56, and if I should accidentally meet them, to put down their occupation. Thus, you can see how this poorly-worded specimen of story- telling came into being. I shall not attempt to describe the sights I saw and the curious people I met. I merely have put down, in as interesting a way as I know how, the places in whlch I found my former classmates located. 0 ir A Before we landed in New York, one of our passengers be- came violently ill. When we landed, Barbara and I accompanied the pain-stricken man to St. George's Hospitals, one of the largest hospitals in all New York. Two very efficient look- ing surgeons met us in the hall, I immediately noticed something about the bend of the dark haired surgeon, that seemed familiar. Also the assisting surgeon seemed some- what familiar. As they turned and with the assistance of a nurse started down the long hallway, my mouth flew open, and in spite of the most heroic efforts on my part, it remained that way, until my astonishment had partly subsided. For those two doctors were both old schoolmates. Not one--but both! Perhaps now you can understand, why I was so sur- prised. The two surgeons were none other than my erstwhile schoolmates--J. D. Haley and Henry Eames. The high School companionship of these two had evidently remained unbroken. While waiting for results of the operation, I glanced at a notice posted on the front entrance of the hallway. It was merely a schedule of the night nurses. Gut of idle curiosity, I glanced over the list. At the very bottom one of those names Jumped out at me--Edna Gamm. HAha,N thought I, nAnother girl who has realized her ambit1on.U It was soon reported that the patient would recover, but we were asked to do a most unusual thing. Barbara Miles and I were to go to the home of our sick passenger and in- form his family of the operation, which to me seemed a very unusual proceeding, and out of the realm of our orders. How- ever, we took a taxi to the address given us. and in a few minutes found ourselves outside of an imposing mansion. We hurried up the walk, and rang the doorbell. The door was opened, automatically, or at least so it seemed, so silent- ly and efficiently did the swallow-tailed butler draw it back. wwe want to see Mrs. Bolling, if you please--,H I began hesitatingly and then stopped. Nwill Madam wait in here? I will tell my mistress that you are here?H He bowed and marched away. a Do you know why I stopped in the middle of a sentence? Simply because that impeccably, immaculately dressed butler was Donn Hulse, Quite as dandified as ever. I decided that Bowling Green students seemed to be congregating in New York. During the time that we gave our message to Mrs. Bolling and were shown out of the house, the butler, never once, by word or sign betrayed the fact that he ever knew me. P Due to some unavoidable circumstances, we were delayed in New York for two days. Barbara and I decided to make the best of our freedom, and spent those two days and one night in seeing all that we had time to see. During that time I found where a number of my former schoolmates were located. While we were exploring the very heart of the down-town section of New York, I glanced in- quiringly up at an unusually tall stone building. There was blazed upon the front of this structure nNew York Times Buildingu and underneath the HJ. Freeman--Ed1tor'. I con- sidered. Now it was quite possible that there was more than one Jack Freeman, but I was determined to find out if it was the Jack I had once known. I merely inquired of the ad-' vertising department of the Times, all that was known about their editor, and I found to my Joy, that it was the Jack Freeman that I once knew. 'There,n I said to Barbara, His a boy who is following in his father's footsteps.u We left Broadway then, and walked down Trention. There I ran smack into Claudine Flood with a tall, dark and hand- some young man. We stopped in a restaurant and there we had a real heart-to-heart talk. Claudine was in New York on her honeymoon. I shan't tell you the name of her husband, for you would never in all the world take me seriously. So, you will have to be patient and wait until time shows you who it was. She told me that she had been holding down a big secre- tarial position in St. Louis for six years. b a I was in Bowling Green two weeks before the wedding she said 'Of our old classmates there are still a number located around the old home town avalyn Shy is now the music instructor of Bowling Green High, and she loves her. work. Helen Harrelson is still married, and the proud mother of three bouncing abies. Lucile Smith is now proprietress of the Moon Winx C fe, and Mother says they do a booming business. Lucile is quite an expert by this time, I should think. Oh yes, and J. O. Mackey has just been elected Pres- ident of the Continental Oil Company. There's a boy that has climbed the ladder, step by step. He has been promoted from one inferior position to another and now he's on the very top. And--well, that's all of our former classmates that I can think of who are located in Bowling Green. Have you any idea as to where some of the others are?H she quest- ioned interestedly. I, then, told her of those I had had the fortune to meet and then we parted. 6 fr The next day we left for Europe. In England I found one old schoolmate. I was so amazed when I discovered that John Price Wilson was a Professor of History at Oxford, that I shall not even attempt to express my extreme wonder. He was the typical professor--grumpy, and cross, with the us- ual beard, but also very learned. In Germany, the Olympic games were in progress. At the special request of our passengers, we spent a day observ- ing them. That afternoon the basketball games were played. Of course we were especiall interested in the United States team. One of the players, a forward, was astonishingly agile and skillful, and distinguished himself from his fellow. players. Before we left, I found out that the forward was J. C. Humphrey. There was one boy, who had made his favorite highschool sport, his life work. We stopped in Italy, where Alnert Manzke left the ship, and wont to a secluded village where he was to spend four years working on his music. We were there for only one hour. During that time I discovered two girl artists who were receiving instructions in modernistic painting. They were progressing nicely. It was with regret that we left these two girls, Bessie Grand and Patty Lee in that ancient city of Romance, Peace and Quiet. There one seemed to get away from the world. To me that hour spent in the city with the streets of water, was a dreamy interlude of complete relaxation and peace, an hour that I shall always recall with pleasure. A One day, when we were without any duties, I picked up the Chicago News, and for lack of better occupation, and al- so because I was hungry for news of the United States, read practically every column, except the stock market. In.the picture section, beside the picture page was a column en- titled WV1ews on News' by Lee Roy Feather, and in the corner of the article was a small photograph of my old classmate. It was evident from several comments made in other articles, that Lee Roy was a second Vwalter Winchelln. We flew across Asia and were finally on our way back to our native country. In California, we stopped for half a day in the city of stars, Hollywood. There I found one B. G. student. Helen Moore was playing minor parts in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, but it was said that she was a very promising star, and a bright future lay ahead of her. G r In Wyoming I discovered by some fortunate chance, the large farm of 1,000 acres, which was owned by three influ- ential farmers and stock raisers. The farm was the most widely known, and the best in buildings, production, type of crops, and profits than any farm in the whole United States. I decided that Mr. T. C. Wells must indeed have been an exceptionally good Vocational Agriculture teacher, for this farm was in the joint ownership of Clark Gillum, Russell Hobbs, and Homer Givens. This seemed to me to be a wonderful achievement and these men were a real credit to the Bowling Green Highschool. In Tulsa, Oklahoma Joe Sanderson boarded our plane. He was returning from one of his advertising tours, and from his recitals, I judged that he was very enthused over his position as advertising salesman for the Lucky Strike Cigarette Company. . Briefly, let me set down the whereabouts of my other classmates of 1955-56, as this chronicle is growing tire- some to both the writer and the reader. Willeyne Ro ert- son was the secretary of the Calvary Truck Line with head- quarters at Jacksonville, Illinois. May Virginia Slater was still situated at Louisiana, Missouri and was pro- prietress of a huge dairy farm. She did all of her own advertising and secretarial work--evidently her talent as a stenograwher had not been wasted. Claudine had for- wotten to tell me that Lucile Sandifer was the devoted and lovin' wife of Mr. Nolan Hurd, and her fame as a charming hostess, and tactful wife was well know in Bowling Green and the surrounding towns. There remains only one more member of the Senior Class of 1955-56. This is Ethyl May. I had some difficulty in finding her, but after several attempts, I found that she was head nurse of St. John's Hospital in St. Louis--another girl who had achieved her ambition. Thus you can see that the boasting and bragging of a Highschool Senior does not go amiss--for indeed the heights of fame are even greater than our spirit of am- bition may dictate. . rf r -I We, the Senior CLASS WILL Class of 1936, realizing the uncertainty of life, do make, publish, and declare this as and for our last will and testament, hereby revoking and nullifying any and all former wills and teetaments, or writings in the nat- ure thereof, by us at any time heretofore made.

Since that time they have achieving and trying to absorb every bit of knowledge that school has to give. Our nu ber has at times lessened and again increased. At present only fifteen of the orginal members are enrolled in the Junior class. They are: Jean Chappel, Mary Harrelson, Charlotte Kerr, Melba Langford, Marie McCall1ster, Mildred Peecher, Lucille Trower, Ralph Branstetter, Wayne Freeman, Randall Keith, Robert Lindsay, Robert Patrick, Paul Su mers, Turner Woods and Harold Worsham.

It is ation from which In 1933 our our grade school to them we are indebted for a firm found- we have been able to build easily. first chapter was definitely closed. With days at an end we begun to contemplate the more serious experience of a high school education. The Junior class has represented itself well in the ac- tivities of our school.

The Welfare of B.G. High has for the past three years been uppermost in our minds. High School has indeed been a pleasure, which is due largely to the cooperative, considerate spirit of our faculty. H we look forward to next year with glad anticipation for although we will be only one senior class in many we wish to advance individually, achieve honor for our school, and above all to close our history as a class with our record well filled and a purpose ahead.

I' EDNA GAMM NELL MARIE LATIMER- Debate E The debate squad of 1934-55, was composed of Gene Nicholson George Harness, Helen Walker, Edna Gamm, Nell Marie Latimer, .. ' and Virginia Iiatson. Several practice debates were held among the various member of the squad. Practice debates were also X held with Vandalia, Wellsville, Missouri military Academy and' Q Montgomery City. Decision debates were held with Louisiana, Center and Frankford. The season closed with the 'J-'illiamswood debating tournament at Fulton, Missouri. There they debated Garrolton, Missouri. Those making the trip were Gene Nicholson E and Nell Marie Latimer as affirmative debaters, and Virginia 'ifatson and Edna Gamm as negative accompanied by Mr. O. A. .filson Jr. coach. Both negative and affirmative were defeated, thus, eliminating them from the tournament. E The debating activities of 1955-156 were very limited. The only trip made was the Williamswood Tournament. Edna Gamm and Nell Marie Latimer debated both affirmative and negat- E ive. The first two debates were held with Cape Girardeau and Joplin. The affirmative side won and thus advanced to the next round in which Wright City defeated Bowling Green. E All those who have participated in debating realize that the material value it offers in public speaking. Let us hope that the oncoming students will take advantage of the activity, and may Mr. wilson and his teams be successful in E all those debate in which they take part. ' E E ir 0 HHI-SCHOOL HI-LITESU NEMSPAPER Miss Irene Cobb, English teacher in Bowling Green High School, was really responsible for the school paper which was published from time to time during the school year 0 The question arose, Nwhat was going to be the name of the papern. Miss Cobb solved the problem by asking the members of her two Junior English classes to submit a name for possible selection.
