It was on this day that innocent little youngsters began their school training. These were Morris Christensen, Robert Mustard, Waldo Peterson, and Lloyd Townsend. Of these little tots only Morris Christensen and Lloyd Townsend have remained to grad- uate with this class. It was by the kind influence of their first teacher, Miss Viola Agustus, that they began their preliminary school training. During the first important year they had their first in- counter with the three R's . Miss Augustus also led them through their first grade and the first part of their second grade. Mrs. Pheobe Mustard completed the term. At this time they fir.ct began learning ways and means of settl- ing their little differences in more civil, reserved, ways than they had previously used. During the second grade three new students were added to the class, they were: Dick Brock, Kathleen Murphy, and Donald Schlondorf. At the end of this year Robert Mustard and Waldo Peterson were left behind. As they entered the third and fourth grade room, they were fast becoming very grown up little ladies and gentlemen. It was in these two years that they learned many things pertaining to their studies, but more important and above that they learned the qualities necessary for, and what it meant to be a good citizen. Mrs. Pheobe Mustard was back to wisely lead them through these two years. The class was join- ed by Lila Anderson, John Mangelson, Lois Vergo, and also Barbara Tapinka, who was here but a short time. At the end of the rummer acation, they found themselves travel- ing down the corridorsvhere Miss Severance greeted them with a freindly smile at the door of the fifth and sixth grade room. Miss Rood kindly led them through the sixth grade. It was while they were in these grades that they recieved definite proof of a fact t ey had been suspecting for a long time. The higher they got, the more they had to work to accomplish what was expected of them. YOU JUST CAN'T WINi New members of the dlaps were: Melven Bender, Eldon Dubas, and Patricia Mcrris. Peggy Jacobi did not return for the sixth grade. It was during the sixth grade that Kathleen Murphy, left us when her family moved to Kimball. We were happy to have John Mangelsen. back with us again this year. Melvan Bender was left behind at the end of this year. They make their final preparation for High School during their seventh and eigth grades when they were under the capable guidance of Miss Ruth merklinger. During these two years the class was joined by: Arlene Miller, Ronald Miller, Kathleen Murphy, and Robert Gerber who left before the end of the year. At last the climax of our grade school career arrived. It was on Class Night of 19 +9 that the Eigth grade diplomas we -e awarded. One receiving a College Degree could not Ina ve been more proud than these nine students about to embark: on their High School career. ¥hey were: Lila Anderson Morris Christensen Eldon Dubas Arlene Miller Ronald Miller Patricia Morris Kathleen Murphy Donald Schlondorf Lloyd Townsend Senior Class History The opening days of school in 19 9 found this class ascending two more flights of stairs to the upper class rooms. Here they acquired the title of Gre ;n Freshmen , a few weeks later, however, after ini- tiation they could no longer be called by this affectionate title. The new comers of the Freshmen class were: Deryl Beck, Dorothy Dexter, Eldon Dubas, Marvin Glasser, Louis Hanna- ppell, Doris Karges, Doris Jean Lewis, Jeanette Osentowski, Dennis Rich- ards, Glenrore Spilger, Adolph Sutko, Rosa Lee Swedenburg, Lois Vergo, and Sue Young, however, before the term ended the class had lost Deryl Beck, and Eldon Dubas. Before the year had progressed very far we had selected our class flower, the re'1 carnation, the class colors, scarlet and gold, and our class motto, Not at the Heights but Climbing. Our class sponsor dur- ing these four years has been Mr. Cox. Nothing really eventful happened during our Sophmore year other than struggling along with geometry, biology and English. The new mem- ber of the class this year was Anne Seiko, who joined us at the middle of the year. Surely nobody can forget the toboganing party that we had. The highlights of the Junior ye r were the Junior Play and the Junior-Senior Banquet. The name of our play was, A Ready Made Family, from whose pro- cedes we were able to present a very nice banquet. The theme chosen for the banquet was that of an Oriental Garden. Everyone enjoyed de- corating the gym. Everyone was -oh- so happy when we received our class rings, soon after Christmas. At the beginning of the Senior year we had lost Kathleen Murphy, who moved to Valley. Early in the year we granted Gale's Studio in York the greatpriv- ilige of taking our Senior pictures. We also purchased our announce- ments which everyone was proud of. We selected the Senior play, Please My Nerves. We hope that this play will be as great a success as the Junior Play. All the members of the Class are looking forward to Class Night; Baccalaureate, Commencement, and- Oh.' yes, of course shh----Sneak Day. We are sure everyone wil1 miss not returning to Good Old Clarks High. Some of the things we will most miss are: our friends and class mates, bubble gum and reading comic books during school hours, music contests, class parties, Pete, and last but not least bock reports which Miss Moorman so graciously permitted us to write. On the night of May 21 when we walk across this stage for the last time, we will undoubtedly be thinking of many things such as the teachers who were always on hand to lend advice and go out of their - way to help us in any - way possible,and what lies ahead of us in our future which we have been preparing for since the day we first entered school. We hope that people will not soon forget this class, and that they will be remembered for their good qualities not their bad. We hope our popular class will be remembered for it's friendly and cheerful disposition. This brings us to the night of May 21, when we see twenty proud and sad seniors receive their diplomas and thus close a chapter of their lives.

This the final will and testament as witnessed and signed by the: Class of 53” Alumni Banquet SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 1965 Upon returning to Clarks to attend the Alumni banquet of 1965 we find that the city of Clarks has made considerable growth and progress. After arriving at Clarks by air plane we take a blue and white check- ered cab to the Clarks High School Auditorium. We enter the large auditorium to find a miraculour crowd attending. We wonder who this slender lady is who offers to show us to our table. Why it's none other than Doris Jean LewisJ Doris Jean teacher of Home Ec. and History at Clarks. She has a part time writing advice for the Love Lorn Column in the Clarks News. We are seated by a broad shouldered young man In a bright cow- boy shirt. Don Schlondorf has become known as Dangerous Don be- cause of superb techniques in rodeo riding. Don is now married to a lady whom he had been corresponding with since 1952. He met her while attending a rodeo at Cheyenne. is a Job Towards the other end of the table a man is sitting withabeautiful blonde. Do we know who he is? He was one of the more mischievious boys in the Class of '53. Sure he's Dennis Richards and the blonde beside him is his wife, the former Darlene King. Dennis went to law school after graduating and is new practising on Green St. in down- town Clarks. Dennis an Darlene were married shortly after his gradua- tion frvm law school. They now have one set of twins. They live in a ranch type house in the newer edition of Clarks. We are fed a delicious meal, and the program begins with Louis Hannappel as toast master. You would hardly believe it is him. He is now considerably taller. He is new about 6 feet 3 inches tall and has a small cookie duster. At present he is with the State Safety Pa- trol. His wife is the former Lila Anderson, another member of the class of •53• Lila spent a few months working in Omaha and having a very exciting time but Louie finally popped the question. Lila has been very busy taking care of their four sets of twins. The first thing on the program is a reading by Sue Young, also a member of the Class of 53• After graduating Sue went to Iowa and was employed there until she married Albert Mangelsen. The wedding took place in June 1956. They now have three children, two boys and one girl. They live in Grand Island where Albert is employed. The former Glenrose Spilger now Mrs Norman Hill has the next num- ber on the program, wh'ch is a trombone solo. Glenrose was the first gorl out of the class of '53 to be married. Norman being an Interior- Decorator she also works as one; therefore making a good team. They live on a farm north of Fullerton. The third rn the program is Ronnie Miller who is giving a little talk. Ronnie is better .znown as Rambling Ronnie; he struck it rich in the Golden Nuget in Las Vagas, Nevada. Ronnie was never married for he always thought of women as a waste of time and money. He can often be s-.-en driving through town in his new Cadillac. Next we hear a duet by the former Rosa Lee Swedenburg and Anne Seiko. In the year Anne graduated she made the statement that if Waldo Peterson didn't propose to her within two years she would be an old maid. Waldo being rather shy and reserved didn't get around to popthe- question in that time. With the money that Anne and Waldo had accqm- ulated by saving pennies, nickles, and dimes, Anne bought her colonial- furniture. Because of Waldo's failure to propose. She had to have it stored in a basement of a neighbor. Anne is now employed in the Clarks Bank. She lives alone and is president of the Man Hater's Union. The former Rosa Lee Swedenburg now Mrs. Dick Mustard is a teacher in the Clarks grade school. When she graduated she took up teaching school while she was waiting for Dick to finish school. Dick, known as Little Buck owns a large garage in down-town Clarks. In spite of the many reducing formulas that Rosa Lee has tried she has put on a con- siderable amount of weight. The last thing on the program is a piano solo by the ormer Lois Vergo, now Mrs. Maynard Fullington. In Dec. 1956 Lois and Maynard eloped and went to China on their honeymoon. They now have six childrai all boys. They live on a farm out west of Central City. As we are leaving the banquet we run into an t.er old friend, Pat Morris. After graduating Pat went to California where she became a famous motion pic- ture and television star. Pat is often called Ester Williams the II be- cause of tier wonderful swimming ability. She married the fa: ous motion picture producer Mr. Milton Moneybags IV. She has a beautiful home in Beverly Hills and also a dude ranee in Wyoming. After talking to Pat we take a cab to down town Clarks where we are going to attend a dance being geld at the luxurious Camel's Ball Room. As we approach Camel's Ball Room, which is one of the largest of all the night spots in Bebraska, we see by the neon billing sign that - Adolph Sutko - and his band - called the dizziest in the land, are play- ing tonight. As we ascend the stairs this beautiful place of dance and dine is filled with heavenly notes from Adolph's saxaphone. The former Arlene Miller now the Mrs. Kanopic takes our wraps as she is the hat check -’iri. Her husband owns the club. They have ac- quired much wealth through the club for many people come from hundreds of miles to dance here. We are ushered to our table near the orchestra Gee what a crowd it's a miracle the floor doesn't cave in. I guess they have crowds like this every night. Well if it isn't Mrs. Pierre Dumont, the former Dorothy Dexter, sitting next to us. After Dorothy graduated she took up modeling for a profession. While modeling and designing ladle's clothes in Paris she met Pierre Dumont a distinguished French diplomat. Dorothy is well known the world over as a high society entertainer. Pierre was in the United States on business so they decided to ret'-rn to Clarks to attend the Alumni banquet. Sitting at the same table is the former Jeanette Osentowski now Mrs. Hiram Winham. Mrs Winham is captain of the ship on which she row sails. When Jeanete was fresh out of high school she joined the navy to keep up with the rest of the family. During a storm they were ship- wrecked. There were five survivors marooned on a life boat for many days. While on t e life boat Jeanette fell madly in love with Captain Winham. They were married about a month ago. The honeymooners came to Clarks to visit Jeanette's parents. We now see coming into the spotlight a lovely soprano singer the former Doris Karges now Mrs. Adolph Sutko. She is singing that ever always popular theme song of her's, I'm Older, and Bolder, and Wiser than I Used To Be . The evening dress Doris is wearing is blue with deamond accessories. Doris and Adolph were married abrut four years ago when Adolph decided it would be cheaper to have her as a wife than to pay her wages to sing with his orchestra. From the looks of those dia- monds he must have been badly mistaken. We also redognize several other members of Adolph's orchestra as members of the Class of '53. Among these are Lloyd Townsend, Marvin Glasser, and Morris Christensen. Morris better known as Romeo has been married and divoriced five times and is engaged to be married at present to a girl he met in a night club in Chicago. It seems that he just can't make up his mind.lhe girl he is engaged to now is quite wealthy and that should be a resting and quieting thought to Morris, you know, more money when he divorses her. The richer they are the more alimoney he hopes to get. I can't say that I blame all of those girls for he's one of the most handsomely dressed men of his day. Lloyd Townsend enlisted in the Air Force after graduating. Yes and while stationed at Fort Bliss Texas he met and became engaged to Anna- belle AnDrea, who is now his wife. She is very nice looking and hand- somely dressed, however, she is rather heavy set. Annabelle and Lloyd with their three daughters, travel with the orchestra. Lloyd has been with the orchestra since he got out of the Air Force in 1957. Marvin Glasser joined Adolph's orchestra two years ago. For the first ten years after graduating Marvin was a chemist in a laboratory In Philadelphia, Permsylvaiiia. He became disatisfied with being a chemist so he joined Adolph's orchestra. Marvin was one of the two that had sense enough to remain a bachelor out of the class of 53 .

Before the echo of the crash had died away, she was out of her car with fire in her eyes. Why don't you keep your eyes open? Doris demanded. You're the fourth car I've hit this morning. Melvin Bender and Dale Str mberg were discussing the car troubles. Melvin: What model is your car? pale: It isn't a model, it is a horrible example. Mrs. Vergo: Lois sings, plays the piano, paints, understands botany zoology, speaks French, Italian, and in fact she is accomplished in every way, and you sir? Mavnard F.: Well, in an emergency I suppose I could cook a little and mend the socksJ jack Wllhelmy; Whisper those three little words that will make me walk on air. jean Nelson: Go hang yourselfJ Dick Mustard approached the window and announced that he wanted a marriage licence. Certainly, said the clerk, wher's the bride-elect? What do you mean bride-elect? yelled Dick, There wasn't and election. The gal done appointed herself. Lloyd Townsend was advised by his doctor to change climate and go down south into Arizona. When he got down there he saw a man on the steps of a General Store. Lloyd: Say, what's the death rate around here? T'other Man: Same as it is back up north bub, came the answer, one to a person. Dorothy Dexter was filling out an accident report. She had dented a fender of a car w ile she was parking her own. One of the questions was, how could the Gther person that operated the vehicle have avoid- ed the wrick? Dorothy: He could have parked it somewhere elseJI Donald Branting was overheard talking to Leon Schutte. It's bad enough to be spanked by hand, but I heard Mom say she was going to buy an electric beater. Mr. Rose was very angry about the poor marks on Eicon's report card. I wish you wouldn't be so hard on him, soothed his wife, the boy's trying, and--- Oh, it really isn't the marks I mind so much, interrupted his father, It's the deception. Why in the dickens does he have to look so bright. Pat Morris had just purchased a postage stamp at the post office. Must I stick it on myself? she asked the clerk. Positively not, madam, replied the postal clerk. It will accomplish more if you stick it on the envelope. Judge: Have you ever been up before me? Louie H. I don't know. What time do you get up?
