Up the steep hill of vast learning thirty of us skipped. Not seeing the stones over which we might trip. Bright and gay onward we kept, And to the top mark of the honor roll swept. Next we were Sophomores, our fame rapid grown. Neither honor roll names nor our courage had flown. As Juniors, our betters have never been seen. We made all the classes with envy turn green, For in athletics our class was a star, Our basketball players were known near and far. Our Junior play, we presented in May Was a great success, hilarious and gay. The Junior-Senior banquet, aeronautical in theme And the Prom held afterward, was a success it would seem. As Seniors we've made a desirable name, School activities have given us fame. W e hope very much that our pace will be kept By on-coming classmen with whom we have met. All praise to our teachers who’ve been our kind guides, They gave earnest effort and much more besides. We've tried to be loyal to our officers, true, And help them in all they've tried hard to do. With courage and honesty, through years to come, The CLASS OF '47 will make the world hum.’ SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Ellis Cramer—President Horace Berry--Vice President Betty Berrey—Secretary-Treasurer Mary Ellen Springstun--Reporter Mrs. Mary Belle Fanning--Sponsor Class Motto: “Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor?

He divides his time between campaign speeches and running his large farm near salt river. He is single at present but we hear rumors that he is considering matrimony. Wayne Allen has a little farm down by the river where he cultivates everything from corn to watermelons. Once in a while he goes fox hunting with his two hounds, Ring and Big Foot. An old bachelor, he is entirely indifferent to women . Jack Couch, known to all sport fans as Killer Couch is the heavy weight champion of the world. The stalwart six-footer lives in Brooklyn with his lovely wife and two children. Jean Watts, after attending college has now married the tall handsome man of her dream, her school boy sweetheart. Together they have traveled all over the world. They are now at home in Brazil. Juanita Murphy is happily married and living in Texas. She no longer hides her light under a bushel. She write- articles for several magazines and is an ideal mother to her twins, Jane and Wayne, who play together in a playhouse made by their carpenter father. Mary Ellen Springstun has left her position as music instructor at Vassar. She married her soldier sweetheart and now lives at Ocean Beach, Florida. John Brown has become a millionaire from his investments in a meat packing company in Chicago. Unspoiled by wealth he spends quiet evenings at home. Widely known philanthropist. Sterling Roberts is now the owner of a dude ranch in Wyoming. He is still single, but all the girls sigh over his ability to ride a bucking bronco and his romantic voice as he sings a Cowboy melody. Ellis Cramer newcomer in Hollywood, is both actor and crooner. All the bobbysoxers go for his wavy hair and smile but he still has a preference for brunettes. Elaine Ledford is now happily married to her farmer and lives near Center. She is very busy caring for her beautiful home and little Darrell Jr. Before her marriage she was a nationally known Model. Senior Class Prophecy--cont. Horace Berry, former mechanic, is a well-known executive with a modern office and a beautiful secretary. His green Con- vertible is well-known at all the night-clubs and showgirls are his dish. Betty Berrey, after studying art is now a commercial de- signer and illustrator. You may see some of her work anywhere on advertisements. She has made a great success of her career. About her plans for a home: She has a beautiful one designed, but she keeps us in the dark about her matrimonial plans. But we hear she has a good looking art instructor and he's single too. Bobby Evans, after finishing his course in engineering became very skillful in this occupation. He flies from one j6b to another in his own airplane, the Bumblebee. Of course, his wife goes with him too. Glen Barr owns and runs a tourist camp in the Ozark Mountains. When business is not so good he acts as a guide. Saturday night is the big night in his week when he rents a mule and rides up the mountain to court his Daisy June. Jack Palmer is a car salesman and describes his Plymouth as the fastest car on wheels. He and his family live in St. Louis where he carries on his business. His lovely wife was his child- hood sweetheart. They have three children who inherited a mischievous trait from their father. Deloris Roberts is doing very well for herself. She is now a famous hair dresser with a Fifth Avenue shop. Lately she has been seen frequently with a blond millionaire playboy.

Moore. So far we seem to have had a successful term. We had a refreshment stand at the basketball games during the first semester. The money derived from the stand will be used to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet and our graduation next year. November 17, 1946, the JUNIORS entertained the STUDENT BODY and FACULTY in the beautifully decorated gymnasium with a party. Games, music and dancing were enjoyed. Refreshments con- sisted of ice cream, soda and cookies. We feel safe in saying that everyone had an enjoyable time. We feel very proud that our class candidate, KATHRYN COWDEN, was crowned QUEEN of CENTER HOMECOMING. We are equally proud of the other Juniors who took part in this event. Namely: Shirley Kohler and James Brown who were attendants. J. W. McIntosh was the QUEEN'S escort. The following are class officers: Patsy Hickerson--president Kathryn Cowden--vice president Ruth Briggs--secretary-treasurer Adeline Anderson--reporter Miss Moore--sponsor Our class play “EVERYBODY'S GETTING MARRIED was a suc- cess. The play was presented Thursday night, February 27, 1947. Our girls out for basketball are: Frances Herring, Shirley Kohler, Peggy Carter, Ruth Briggs, Patsy Hickerson, and Anna Schnetzer. Boys : J. W. McIntosh, Everette Pabst, Harold Lieurance, James Brown, and Melvin and Vernon Buhrkuhl. Our honor roll members were: Ruth Briggs, Patsy Hickerson, Adeline Anderson, Peggy Carter, and Frances Herring. I GIRLS STATE JULY 6th-13th REGINA RUTH BRIGGS The sixth session of Missouri Girls State will be held at William Woods College in Fulton Sunday, July 6th through July 13th inclusive. Miss Regina Ruth Briggs, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Henry Wood Briggs, of Center, will attend Girls State from Ralls County, and is sponsored by the Woman's Auxiliary of Ralls Co. Post 234 of the American Legion. Miss Briggs will be a senior in Center High School this fall. The purpose of Girls State is to educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship. Upon arrival the girls are assigned to mythical cities of 40 girls to a city and three counties to a state. Assemblage will function under these political subdivisions for a period of seven days, under the basic laws of the state of Missouri and the newly adopted constitution. Candidates are nominated and elected for city, county and state offices and each officer carries out the duty of that office. The girls have their own legislature, introduce and argue their own bills, giving them a chance to learn for themselves that their government is Just what they make it. This program of education is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Missouri and the Ralls County Auxiliary is again happy to sponsor a representative from their unit.

Mr. Scott: “Name the chemical properties of water. Wayne A.: (Just waking from a nap) “Fishes. John B.: “Did you ever take Chloroform? Marjorie L..: “No, who teaches it? “Plink de plink, plink de plink. Don Chenoweth: What is that X hear? Ellis C.: Oh, that is just Mr. Barrows giving Bob his pitch. If the teacher looks at you crossly don't drop your eyes--they might break. Freshman--Comedy of errors. Sophomore--Much ado about nothing. Junior--As you like it. Senior--All s well that ends well. Don’t air your knowledge, your brains might take cold. What shade of red did Jack Palmer turn when he was caught passing a note in English IV? What two boys was Betty Horn with at the Sophomore party? 7 hat girl did Raymond Bontz ask to the Smith’s ice skating party? Bob almost lost his Patty Ann. Rex tried to steal her, almost did, but she returned to her little Bobby. Now everything is just ducky. Tiny likes potatoes, we saw her chewing around on Spud. Darrell and Elaine have to be mighty careful or they’ll rub noses, I mean glasses. Adeline, you never told us that Horace took you home one night, but we found out. Oh, dear me. Aren’t we thrilled: I wonder who Ray Littell has, to be his Valentine? Does any one know? Poor Betty Cole, poor little Betty, her heart throb had to move to the front seat in the third row from the doors. Betty just walks herself to death sharpening her pencil. Bobby Joe Palmer broke his arm when he slapped his girl for kissing him good night. Everett and Bobby Evans were looking the girls over at Bellflower. From what we heard, it did some good. Just how many girls did you take home? Three, four, or five? Red, Donald Huse, J. W., Jack Couch, won't you please tell us what those grade school girls have that high school ones don't? The only reason I cam think of is that Margaret, Norma Jean, Norma K., Mary Mclntose aren’t in high school. It’s a fact. To paint a house white, white paint is required. Tiller Ann has been wearing somebody’s ring. Venita, who is it? We all want to know. Edward Myer ? Rex has been telling the eight grade girls that he can get a 194b car any time. What is wrong with these girls that they won’t bite at bait like that? Allen has been going with a green Freshman. Don’t you think you should wait till they get ripe? Jean said if you liked her green, it was all right with her. Mr. Graves: ”1 am tempted to send you to the office.’’ Bob. Evans: Yield not to temptation.’’ Darlene just suits John Howald. She doesn’t spend all his money or that’s what we’ve heard, for he has been back there quite a few times. She is a Freshman, too. Ada Jean and Joe Dunham like one another, what these Freshman won’t teach the Seniors! Glen makes his brother ride in the back seat of his car, so girls stay away from him. He’ll make you run along behind. Virginia Rinker has lost her bow, we saw her picking her out a new one at the dry goods store. Paul Reeves, does any girl have him? If not, what are you waiting for? Marjorie L.--Did you know Lavada has been telling you tall tales, about her not liking John, well, just ask some of the people who read that letter she wrote him. Have you been telling her a few tales too, about a certain boy? Reva: I can hardly wait till Saturday, can you? Ah, that back row of the show, it’s heaven. Lloyd's girl went to Texas. Lloyd did you write her any letters in code this year? Horace and Kate, have a date, for swingin’ on a gate. Don't be late, Kate Anna, do your folks understand French yet? Juanita, my Juanita, I just love to take you around the paper route, even if it does take longer than when you walk. You boys leave Betty Berrey alone. She has her mind made up to go to art school. We don’t want you to ruin her career. Miss Moore: Where was Solomon's temple? Jack Palmer: On the side of his head. Mrs. Fanning: What does versatil mean? Peggy C. Isn’t that where they signed the treaty? Jean W. We are told you could do the hula hula even if it did tear two ligaments loose in your leg. Mary Ellen told Imogene that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Don’t you just love to see Darlene with a stick of gum? John Brown got himself an Australian lassie--that is he has her picture. Isn’t Percy just a doll of a name. . .Peggy? Some people go duck hunting but Frances goes Swan hunting. Roses are red Violets are blue, I copied your answer And 1 flunked too. WOULD LIFE BE IDEAL TO.............. Lavada if she were tongue-tied? Ellis without a mustache ? Jean Calhoun if she couldn’t chew gum ? Patsy Hickerson if she couldn’t giggle? Jean Watts if she didn’t have a date? Ray Littell if he had to have a date ? John Brown if he had to sit still? Elaine without Darrell? Shirley without Jack? Horace if he couldn’t laugh right out loud? Glen if he couldn’t read? Jack C. if he couldn’t visit? Wayne A. if he didn’t miss school? Pat B. if she couldn’t debate? DO YOU KNOW YOUR FACULTY ? ? ? Is that clear? Get the point? There is a little disturbance in this section: Marjorie, where’s John Brown? U, Y. N. (Use your noodle.) If the shoe doesn’t fit you, don't wear it. Let’s all laugh now and get through. You- and you- over there. . . . Now boys and girls. . . . A MONKEY’S VIEWPOINT ’’Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree. Discussing things as they’re said to be; Said one to the others: Now listen, you two, There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true, That man descends from our noble race, The very idea! It’s a dire disgrace! No monkey ever deserted his wife. Starved her baby, and ruined her life: And you've never known a mother monk To leave her babies with others to bunk! Till they scarcely know who their mother is! And another thing you’ll never see, A monk build a fence 'round a coconut tree And let the coconuts go to waste. Forbidding all other monks a taste. Why, if I'd put a fence 'round this tree Starvation would force you to steal from me. Here’s another thing a monk won’t do, Go out at night and go on a stew, Or use a gun, or a club, or a knife. To take some other monkey’s life. If man descended, who lives such fuss. My brothers, he didn't descend from us.” ...Anonymous......

Patsy Hickerson. . . . Rating 1 Sophomore Pilgrimage Jean Morman gave ua a report ! her trip to Jefferson City, Friday, April 11, which follows: We arrived at the c pitol about 10 o’clock. We registered first and then were on our own to explore the cap- itol building. Four of ua went to- gether and saw most of the points of interest. The thing that interested me moat was Thomas Hart Benton’s murals in th$ House Lounge or Missouri room. We asked the guide if he would tell us about them and by the time he bed covered one panel the room was so crowded with other students we couldn’t see the lower pictures. Thee murals tell the life of early pioneer� in the state of Miseouri on up to mo cm time . There is also a panel 0� Missouri’s two greatest cities—St. Louis and Kansas City—and a pioture showing Frankie and Johnnie. The story of the mural� took about thirty minute� to tell and was very intereap ing. At 11:30 the Sophomores from over the state met in the Representa- tive’s chamber where State Auditor Forrest Smith spoke. He told ui about the fcapitol which was started in 1 13 � nd took three and one-half years to build at a cost of four and one-half million dollars. It is two hundred and sixty-five feet tall and the stairway leading from the second to the third floor is the widest indoor stairway in existence.___________ ' After leaving the Representative chamber we went to- Selinger Centre for luncheon. After the luncheon Mrs. Donnelly spoke briefly. Mr. Wheeler from the State Department of Education spoke and also a woman from Indiana. A Latin American woman was introduced and a soprano sang two elections. The girl that ac- companied her later played at the Governor’s mansion during the tea. After the songs a boy magician put on a show which was very good. When we left Selinger Centre we went directly to the Governor’s man- sion where we were received by Mrs. Donnelly and several other women. • We were shown through the different rooms and saw the bed where the Prince of Wales'slent. Later we were served tea. The thing that impressed me most was the beg tfful winding stairway. When. left the mansion we could | do what we wanted to until 4:16 so we decided to go downtown and buy some souvenirs. We went through most of the dime stores and then re- turned to the bus that was waiting in froat of the capitol building. We stopped in Mexioo for supper and I arrived home about 7:16. It was an enjoyable, interesting and educational trip and I wish to thank all those that made it possible for me to go. JEAN MORMAN. Senior Day r ” . Lafcl Friday, April 11, eight mem- bers of the Senior class, Mrs. Fan- ning, our sponsor, and Darrell Jack- son, a Junior, who offered to take his car, went on a trip to the Northeast Missouri State Teacher college at Kirksville. The Seniors who went were Betty Ben-ey, Delores Rob- , erts, Mary Ellen Springstun, Juanita , Murphy, Jean Watts, Bobby Evans, Elaine Ledford and John Brown. We left Center about 8 o’clock in the ‘ morning and arrived in Kirksville around 10:30. We had the privilege of listening to a very distinguished speaker, Mr� . Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde, former minister to Denmark, whom wt all enjoyed very much. After lunch we made a tour of the different buildings on the campus and attended a dance held at the college.
