It has been a great privilege to be their senior co-sponsor. I have had the opportunity to see this fine group of stu- dents progress from freshmen to seniors and from immature children to ladies and gentlemen. I am sure that each and everyone of them will make a successful mark on our American society. Now that they have completed the re- quirements of graduation, I wish them all the best of happiness and success in their future years.

Perhaps their footsteps were a little slow as they thought of the past eight years but they were also thinking of the four years ahead of them. The crew members were: Arlene Southard, Eleanora Swanson, Dera Lea Stutzman, Jackie Steinke, Joyce Perkins, Leona Woitaszewski, Pat Hendrickson, Tom Hulme, LeRoy Heupel, Gerald Spiehs, Larry Spiehs, Leonard Spiehs, Duane Rogers, Bob Irwin, Bob McDermott, Don Waddington, Larry Stutzman, Dale Hinkson, Don Stange, Don Hargens, and Edwin Schuett. We elected as our captain, President-Edwin Schuett. His able assistants were: Bob McDermott-Vice-President; Arlene Southard-Secretary, Don Hargens-Trea- surer, and Eleanora Swanson-News- Reporter. Our pilot for this year was Mr. Wallace Rose. In the middle of the first year Bob McDermott transferred to another air- liner and Darrel Collins walked up the ramp to join our crew. In our sophomore year, with Mr. Anton Lowry as our pilot, Larry Stutzman left and answered the call to adventure. Bob Irwin, Darrel Collins, and Edwin Schuett became airsick and transferred to different airliners. We also gained another airman, Jerome Grudzinski. We now had eleven crew members with our Captain and President - Jackie Steinke; Pat Hendrickson-Secretary, Joyce Perkins-Treasurer and Don Waddington- News Reporter. COMPLIMENTS OF RHODA’S SERVICE 18 Always Ready To Service You COMPLIMENTS OF PETERSEN PHARMACY Best of Everything As juniors, with Miss Johnson now as our pilot three more passengers decided to board board our airliner. They were Marilyn Wheeler, Thelma Hahs and Virgie Wooden. On our flight we decided to stop off on a cloud and give a little entertainment. W’e chose the play, “Me and My Shadow . From there we flew to Paris where we gave a banquet in honor of the seniors, which was a big success. This year we had as our captain, Tom Hulme. His assistants were Don Hargens-Vice-President; Arlene Southard-Secretary; Pat Hendrickson- Treasurer; and Jackie Steinke-News Re- porter. Now as seniors, with Mr. Nelson and Mr. Colman as co-pilots, we are planning our future destinations when this flight of knowledge is over. We lost one member, Jerome Grudzinski, who parachuted out be- fore the year started. Our captain was: Arlene Southard with Joyce Perkins-Vice- President; Don Hargens-Secretary ; Marilyn Wheeler-Treasurer; and Thelma Hahs-News Reporter, as her assistants. On October 18, we stopped at Grand Island to get our pictures taken. We also edited the school annual. In the spring we put on our play entitled, Lunatics At Large' , which was a huge success and the Juniors gave a banquet in our honor. The high-lights of the year were Commencement and Baccalaureate, thus ending our four year flight of knowledge. But our story has not ended it has just begun.

Thelma Hahs, a swell senior gal Thinks Clyde is quite a pal At driving a car, she's really fine, As she keeps the pedestrians in a line.

COMPLIMENTS OF THE STATE BANK OF CAIRO Class Prophecy All aboard as we climb upon our 1966 atomic powered magic carpel, the Furetta. We are in hopes we will see all the seniors of 1956. As we take off the Armstrong landing field: Our first stop is near Miles City, Montana. Here we see a large dude ranch. Since it was such a beautiful place we decided to spend the day there. Entering the huge glass door, who should we meet but Leonard Spiehs, the multi-millionaire owner. He told us, while rolling a cigar around in his mouth, business was fine. As we journey on our way, the next stop is Las Vegas, Nevada. We had heard that one of our former classmates ran the Flamingo Hotel. W hy who is this class- mate? Why none other than Tom Hulme. Taking flight again, we hit a hot air pocket, which forced us to land. Landing on the desolate part of the desert, called Death Valley. We found a small farm. Here in this 117 weather, we see a man and woman hoeing peanuts. We walked up to them wishing to know who this daring couple was . We were surprised to see that it was Larry Spiehs and his brave wife, Trust Larry to do the impossible. Traveling on, we stop along the coast of California at the San Diego Naval Base. Here we see two of our former classmates, Duane Rogers and Don W addington on the way to the navy doctor. It seems they just got back from a twenty mile cruise out to sea, and have a “slight case of sea sickness. Leaving California we journey on. Looking through the clouds we see a huge Indian Reservation. Deciding to stop for a while, we find we are in New Mexico. Here we are glad to renew acquaintance with our old classmate, Eleanora Swanson, who is teaching handwork to the Indians. She inquired about people in Cairo, and said her husband, Daryl Beilke, is working in the silver mines. Off again, now flying over the big state of Texas. Here we see a large sheep ranch. We were getting hungry, just then we saw a fluorescent sign below us flashing on and off DALES LAMBCHOPS' . This sounded very tasty so we decided to stop for a minute or two. Who should we find running the joint? Why a former classmate, Dale Hinkson. While cruising over Birmingham, Alabama, the song, “Mr. Sandman , struck our ears. Something strangely familiar about the music gave us a homesick feeling and urge to descend and see where it was coming from. Looking around we saw a brightly lighted building with a sign on which read, “Mademoiselle Patrice’s Dancing School '. Of course, you know- that Mademoiselle Patrice is the former Pat Hendrickson. How lucky we were to have stopped there on the night she was giving a party for all her former dancing pupils, of course the music was furnish- ed by her husband's famous dance band, “Bob and His Birmingham Bobcats '. 25 Taking to the air again we see the everglades and know that we are in Florida. We heard that the Globetrotters were playing a game in Miami and knowing that our classmate, Don Stange is playing with them, we de- cided to descend at once, not wanting to miss him. No, he hasn’t changed the color of his skin. He is the only white man ever having the honor to play with the famous Negro ball club. We had a very nice visit with Don after the game and among the things he told us was that the former Thelma Hahs, now Mrs. Clyde Veeder, was running a cafe in the French quarter of New Orleans. Not wanting to miss anybody, we made a special trip back to see her. The food there was ex- cellent. She said it naturally would be, because her husband, Clyde, was the head chef. In the air again, now flying over Pennsylvania, we swoop low over the Forbes baseball field of Pittsburg, We recognize a familiar face and land- ing we meet another classmate, Gerald Spiehs, trying out for the Pittsburg Pirates. Traveling on north to New York State, we circled the city of Syracuse, and and noticed a round glass building perched high on top of a small mountain. Landing on a small landing strip, we climbed the elevation. Sure enough it was the laboratory of Leroy Heupel. He spends many hours there in re- search and viewing the stars. We had a very interesting visit with him and his wife, Sandy, and their three sons. Flying west towards home, ’our next stop was Ludington, Michigan. This is a great fishing city near Lake Michigan. As we walked along the wharf, we see a huge fish market. Who should we see running it ? ? It is the form- er Dera Lea Stutzman. During the nice visit with her, we find out her husband, Dennis Klanecky, owns a fleet of fishing boats and he and his four sons were out on a fishing excursion. Now heading for our home town of Cairo, going over the city we see the population has tripled. Look at the factories. One big brick building took our eyes especially. Landing at the airport, we go to investigate this build- ing, finding out it is the telephone company. Just as we open the door we heard a voice say, “Lines busy ” We could recognize that voice anywhere. It was the former Arlene Southard, now Mrs. Jerry Strong. She is the head long distance operator. Cruising south over our home town, we notice a huge mansion stretching over one acre. Swooping down over the place, we see Don Bruce working in the field and five boys running around. Are those his hired hands ? No, they are their sons. Their two girls are helping Joyce in the kitchen. Flying on east, in a second we are in Grand Island. There we saw a large sign in the shape of a wheel. Coming closer, we see it is “The Big Wheel Bowling Alley”. Wishing a little entertainment, we decided to stop. Who should we find running the place? Why naturally our classmates Marilyn Wheeler and Virgie Wooden. Well, it is getting late, and we are tired from our long trip, but happy to have renewed old acquaintances. So back to our little ten-room ranch style home on a farm near Cairo, where I, the former Jackie Steinke, will be until I start to teach again in the fall. Senior Play Cast The Seniors chose “Lunatics at Large , as their class play. It was a very hilarious, mystery comedy in three acts. In the play, Amos Burke gets murdered and it takes a real genius to unsnarl a mystery in this emporium of insanity. Then Wing comes into the picture.. He is a genius from the Orient, who finally unmasks the guilty person; but not until the audience is limp with excitement and just about “all laughed out.’ The characters in the play are as follows: Mr. Hyde Priscilla John Alden Lady Macbeth Don Cutter Doctor Janet Lucille Cutter Mrs. Adair Elaine W ing Greg Stevens Claire Stevens Amos Burke Inspector Britt Sponsor 27 Junior Officers President . . . , Vice-President Secretary . • • .

Then here’s to the two, to the Red and to the W hite, And let every fellow here take off his cap. Let’s all lend a hand, all together let us fight. For Cairo, the best place on the map.
