Uuaa New Q Wwe sen School life! Ah! the charm that lingers Round earth's morn, as unseen fingers Touch the chords that thrill our being To its depths till eyes unseeing For the tears, look back recalling All the joys of old, enthralling Heart and mind. Classmates, tonight Let us prize our GREEN and WHITE! W Good as gold, may we forever Keep our hearts along life's way, While Turth's golden sunbeams sever All the black clouds from our day, May the WHITE, so pure and stainles Keep us ever true and right! May our lives be long and painlessg Guarded by our GREEN and WHITE! GREEN and WHITE! Go with us ever As the ideal of our dreams! May we find life, as we sever, Just as worthwhile as it seems! May we each accept the mission Fate holds covered from our sight, Sure, whatever its condition, Victory'll crown our GREEN and WHITF! sr May 17, 1961--at the Circle O Ranch-near Jackson Hole, Texas. Here in the wilds of the West lies the dude ranch owned by Mrs. Cactus Pete, the Former Jean Harman, Where the Class of '51 of C.H.S. kept its rendevous with Fate as planned a whole decade ago. True they are different that those we knew at C. H. S. Time has left her mark upon them in various ways. Coming up the pathway is Glenn Thompson, the oil tycoon who has made his fortune of material wealth. How different from the quiet, unassuming, bashful Senior of '51 is this flashily dressed flirtatious,loud-spoken businessman who has driven up in his new jet-powered limousine--the hue of which is a brilliant red. After recovering from the shock of meeting him, Jean turns to his companion with whom Time has dealt kindly. Gone is the awkward, clumsy gait and in its stead we find a polished, refined, dignified gentleman dressed in a conservative businessman's suit and wearing a mustache reminiscent of the days of Thomas Dewey. Just now in his legal career, Bobby is glogting over his victory in the case of Stalin. Time passes-BANG! a loud crash and sudden hammering!Only M:-I3 Lou and Betty, pardon me, Mrs. Hubert Schumaker and Mrs. Luther Goldtooth who have come sto ng in and, in the excitement have crashed into the limousine standing outside. Betty, being amechanic, has hopped out and begun t trying to repair the damages with a hammer while Mary Lou, the hot-rod driver, is standing by, wildly gesticulating in a vain attempt to escape from the scene of the accident. Imagine their niltefwhen they find who the owner is--for who could be so relentless as to persecute a class- mate. While regaining their wits a' helicopter comes gliding in..the property of Mr. Harold Schweitver who is accompanied by hi- body-guard, Jerry Crowly. Harold has amassed a great deal of wealth in the operation of a Night Club-the famous Scvar Club-while Poor Jerry has had to be content with the position of bouncer in this grand establishment. But he has one thing for which to be extremely grateml...Hadacol has had its effect and he now weighs two hundred eighty pounds. Politicians and the military now make their debut. Carole Offutt, private secretary to the Gover- nor of the State of New York--Frankie Holland, governess for the two children of the same person- Gearlding Knight, a lieutenant in the Wacs and private secretary to General Melvin Lawless, who won his fame in Korea in 1951-and Bob Mann, now Sec!y. of the Navy in the U.

ZJJJLAV In the year 1931 a group of happy, excited, but yet frightened youngsters started on the road of WAdventure in Educationn. Our class is composed of students arriving in later years: Jerry Crowly being the only one of the fourteen members of the Senior Class to take his first step,in education in Calumet. Harold Schweitzer joined the students of Cal- umet when he was ready for the fourth grade. At that time Jerry left to move to Midwest City for a while. The next student to catch on was Ellen Mober- ly in the sixth grade-the only girl in theclass. We soon had another adventurer,Gearldine Knight, who joined us in the seventh grade making the second girl in the group. Jerry returned from his wanderings and again joined the group in the eighth grade. The beginning of our Freshman Year brought Mary Lou Cavins, Betty Phillips, Jean Harman, Bob Witoher, Glen Thompson, Billy Paulk, Ruby Miller, Betty Lou Nitzel, Frankie Holland,and Melvin Lawless into the scholastic caravan. In our Junior year we were joined by Carole Offutt and Bob Mann. Ruby Miller traded her classwork for m trimony. One of our first momentous occasions was the Junior Play. From the financial and pleasure stsndpoints, 'Cyclone Sallyn was a great suc- cess. Few in the community missed this play and those who did seemed to be sorry of their absence. During ur Junior year, we and the Seniors of '50 enjoyed a party at the home of Jean Harman. The head-on collision of Ellen and Bob during one of the games had almost disastrous effects: both Hsaw stars' as Bob came out with a gg! cuts while Ellen suffered ggly a broken nose and a loosened tooth. After everyone was taken care of the party ended happily. The trip we took to Cedarvale, near Turner Falls, was a well-spent week-end. Everyone en- joyed skating and swimming as well as the trip to Lake Murray where boat-riding was the diver- sion. Our last play to be presented to the people of Calumet and neighboring towns, 'WEDDING SPELLSW, was another successful play. A grand time was had at rehearsals. As we near the end of the second lap of our adventurous journey,we are looking forward with anticipation to another wonderful trip. With high hopes for the future--to be sure, a future of uncertainty, for what future is not filled with uncertainty--we stand expectantly on the threshod of life as we plan for our high- school c mmencement and the subsequent 'Parting of the Ways' as we step forth into a greater world of adventure. ffdssfjlsm We, the most dignified and well-bred Seniors of Calumet High School, being of sound, sane, and serious minds,do hereby make,publish, and declare this our last will and testament. First, we hastily will to the Senior spon- sor, thf Junior Class hoping they can gather enough strength to endure one more year. Seond, we will to the Sophomores a bit of the dignity of the Seniors, but alas, we feel they already possess it. Third, to the Freshmen we feel we owe what little courage we have left as they will pro- bably need it. To the Superintendent, Principal, and the Faculty we leave our appreciation for their patience, understanding and guidance during our preceding years in C. H. S. Bob Witcher leaves his scientific mind to Kieth Reimers who would probably be satisfied with just a mind. Those wolfish instincts of Glen Thompson are bequeathed to Bud Kennedy with the under- standing that they are to be used. The Senior Class is overjoyed to hear that Bob Mann is leaving his 'Corny Jokesn to Johnnie Thompson. Ellen Moberly wills to Harry Lowder a broom with a suggestion to sweep thf cobwebs out of his belfry and the girls out of his my. Betty Phillips wills her bottle of peroxide to Margie Rohwer. Warning: Don't use it! Betty Lou Nitzel leaves her books to Clar- ence Bomhoff because they need a rest. Frankie Holland wills her acting ability to Bonnie Paulk. Billy Paulk wills his ability to make 'A's' in Parnel1's study hall to Paul Higgins. To Norma Justice, Jean Harman wills her jeans and cowboy shirts. Carole Offutt wills her pleasing personal- ity and welcome smile to Dorothy Lyle. Melvin Lawless mysteriously leaves! Harold Schweitzer leaves the painter's uni- form to Bill McCray, with the suggestion to think before enrolling in Construction. Mary Lou Gavins leaves that certain WSome- thingn to Mildred Sherman in hopes that she uses it to good advantage. Jerry Growly bequeaths his Casanova quali- ties to C. J. with assurance that Y. N. will appreciate them. To Ella Laub, Gerry Knight wills her per- sistent sense of good humor. Harold Schweitzer bequeaths his intellect to Rose Leck. ll To Betty Sperry, Norma lully, and Joyce Harman we bequeath our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever, with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their natural light- mindedness and irresponsibility. In witness whereof, we the Class of 1951, the Testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this Seventeenth Day of May, Ano Daninos, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-one.
