EAG LE EADS HIGH SCHOOL 1952 -I95S EADS COLORADO VOLUME V This annual is dedicated to the honor and memory of our dlassmate Dwayne Fox, who passed on to the Great Beyond in the summer of 1950. His consider ateness and his ready smile will long be remembered by his fellow classmates, THINKING OF YOU! We've been thinking of you today. Of the things we used to do and say The jolly meetings of long ago And the splendid times we used to know With new friends we may be just as gay But we’ll not forget that other day. The Seniors TO THE CLASS OF 1953 Greetings I, as your sponsor, wish to commend you for completing your high school education. The temptations to drop out of school have been difficult to overcome. Some have been offered what appeared to be good jobs. Jobs have been easy to obtain and in many cases little preparation was needed to hold the position. Because of this many young people discounted the need for special training. As times become more nearly normal, I am sure you will appreciate the need of education. You have managed to stay to complete your basic high school training. This qualifies you to enter other fields of usefulness. I, therefore, want to take this oppor- tunity to congratulate you as a graduating class.

DAVID RICHARD FRANCES CH „ES BOBBY DOROTHY TOMMY FLORENCE JOYCE W. Senior Class Prophecy This is O. I. Blab, your on-the-spot reporter, at La Guardia Field in New York City where the rocket ship, EHSS-1953, is about to take off for the first trip to the planet. Mars. The ship, as I look at it from the new 4,000 foot control tower is a sleek, shin- ing 3,000 foot monster with a diameter of 200 feet. It is silver with blue trim, the high school class colors of the geniuses who designed it. I can see them now standing on the platform along side the ship talking to news re- porters and submitting to photographers their triumphant smiles. Right now I can catch a glimpse of Bruce Fischer, a short stocky man with horn rimmed glasses and a slightly receding hairline and standing near him is Tommy Stoker, a tall, handsome man with his usual well-dressed look that is so famous. Today he is wearing a two-toned suit of green and purple with a bright orange shirt and pink tie. He is wearing his famous convertible top derby hat. On the opposite side of the platform stand two charming ladies who complete the quartet of geniuses accredited for designing the ship. Frances Bird a tall dark haired woman wearing 5 1 2 inch heels imported from Lower Slobovia and atop her well-groomed head a new 4 foot spiral creation designed in Dogpatch, U. S. A. , the new fashion center of the world. Beside her stands May Morton, wearing a flesh-colored well-fitted suit and her eyebrows waved and eye lashes daintily curled across her lovely cheeks. On each of her long slender fingers she is wearing a Tom Corbett space cadet ring. A very charming picture. They are servicing the ship now and it would be unthinkable not to mention the hard- working men who are so efficently dropping the tiny fuel capsules into the fuselage of the beautiful ship. These brave men, Billy Mast and Byron Lynn, are wearing the space suits especially designed for this trip by Space Supplies, Inc. , located on the Moon. Mr. Mast and Mr. Lynn will, with the aid of suction cups on their shoes, re- fuel the EHSS-1953 while it is traveling through outer space. Soon to make their ap- pearance on the field will be the pilot, Miss Pattie Dunlap, and Mr. Cussins, who wear atomically heated bare, I mean bear, skins which are fitted on the right leg with a miniature atomic hotplate and on the left leg with a tiny coffee percolator which will enable them to prepare the food and coffee capsules they are taking with them. They will wear dignified looking beanies with miniature propellors protruding from the top which will be used for the purpose of generating power to heat the electric ear muffs they will wear. As my eyes wander over the crowd I see many celebrities who are here to see the launching of the ship. Here is a brief rundown of the figures and their world-wide im- portance. Standing near the ship talking to the famous bass opera star, Robert Green- well, is General John Holter, who is now commander of all floating space stations in the outer atmosphere. Mr. Greenwell is sporting the new men's hair style so popular this year which consists of tiny braids an inch long tied with different colored ribbons completely surrounding the head. At the far right of the platform now shaking hands with Miss Bird is the private secretary to General Holter, Dorothy Kasza, charmingly attired in the uniform of the Outer Space Patrol Corps. This uniform is especially equipped to furnish the needs of the boss. which in this case is General Holter. Sus- pended from a heavy gold belt around Miss Kasza's waist is a tiny frying pan. a short-- wave radio, a folding chair, and a portable suitcase. On her head sits the regulation OSPCPS cap which is equipped with paper, pencil, pen, and ink ready for immediate use. Just alighting from a sleek atomic powered Oldsmoford is the famous criminal lawyer, Miss Betty Kelley. She has just recently won her fifth consecutive case which is reported to have netted her nearly 15,000,000 dollars. Miss Kelley is dressed in a smartly tailored green dyed mink suit with large gold buttons and all seams stitched with gold thread. She is carrying the handbag so popular this year, a small smartly covered waste paper basket. Rushing to escort Miss Kelley through this milling crowd is the oft seen figure of Charles Crow, the current heart throb of the bobby sox crowd, and recently presented the Most Romantic Lover on Feelavision Award. He, too, is sporting the new men's hair style. Examining the beautiful lines of the rocket ship are the two prominent joint bank presidents, Marvin Richardson and Richard Baxter. They operate three of the four banks in the booming city of Chivington, Colorado. Mr. Richardson is one of the financiers of this trip being a very, very close friend of Miss Dunlap, the pilot. Both Mr. Richardson and Mr. Baxter are wearing 10 carat diamond studded neckties and on their left wrists are wearing Dick Tracy two-way radios so that they can keep in close contact with their banks. Just landing his aerocar on Runway 25 is the 7 foot A.A.U. basketball star, Earl Kelley, Jr. . known to everyone in the sports world as Hook Shot Kelley. Mr. Kelley made 452 points in his last game. It being so early in the basketball season this is a remarkably fine score for most of the players are still getting into shape for the games ahead. Standing unobstrusively in the crowd directly below is the designer of Noee Solee Shoes, The shoes without soles but with uppers that look like actual shoes, Miss Sharyn Abrams. None out of ten doctors in the U. S. have found that these shoes are much milder and have more freedom than any other leading shoe combined. And leading fashion experts have stated that these shoes are the answer to well-groomed barefeet. A small riot is taking place near the rocket ship!! Word has just been passed to me that a group of small children have been pitting the side of the ship with beans from their atomic beanie shooters. With the help of the New Your State Militia the mothers of these little monst---I mean, children, Mrs. Barbara Kammarcal and Mrs. Florence Merica, are reported to have every thing under control. Now approaching the platform which the 4 geniuses occupy is the prominent society leader of Akron. Ohio, Miss Joyce Aldrich. She is a very close friend of Miss Bird. She, too, is charmingly attired in the latest--ladies' styles. Today she has chosen a darling short, pleat-skirt of non-metallic silver which is very becoming to her beauti- fully made up kneecaps. Her blouse is made of wooly cotten nylon in multi-colored strips. On each shoulder of the blouse are attacked strings with balloons in different colors floating in the air above her head. These balloons not only compliment her hair-do but also serve a double purpose by giving a broadshouldered effect, a feature of Dogpatch fashions this year. I have just been reminded that I have failed to mention another person who has played an important part in bringing about this trip. That person is Wanda Laird. She is co- owner-operator of the interplanetary Sunbeam Aero Truckline running between the earth and the moon with headquarters at Eads, Colorado. These aerotrucks are powered by sunbeams and therefore reduce the cost of fuel. I am told. Miss Laird is, at this very moment, landing her 150 aerotruck squadron on Runways 13, 14 and 15. She is bring- ing in supplies from the moon which are needed for the trip. Just a moment, folks, something is taking place at Gate 5!! Let's see if we can see what it is. A long, white Cadillacard has stopped at the Gate and a man and woman have alighted. It looks as if--just a moment--Word has just been given me that this is Joyce Woodcock and David Baxter, the doctor and nurse that are to be taken on the trip. As they come closer to the control tower I see they are wearing the newly adopted multi-colored uniforms of the medical profession. These uniforms are believed to be of value to the patient by offering more color interest than the old-fashion white and thereby keeping the patient interested in other things besides his sickness which in turn speeds his recovery. These suits are also magnetic which enables the wearer to carry all necessary equipment on his uniform and eliminates the old-fashioned little black bag. Miss Laird is now walking toward Runway 1 after safely landing her squadron. She is wearing a beautiful hand painted space suit with lovely pink and purple alternating ruffles on the sleeve, cuffs and around her waist. Her long brown hair is pulled back in a 5-foot pony tail which just touches the ground. At the moment she is supervising the loading of the space ship. Hold everything! Here comes the most dignified news editor of the New York Herald Sun Tribune Press (in which you can read your favorite comic strip Tom Corbett), Verta Koch. She is glamorously attired in red, white and blue striped slacks, and her elec- trically wired blouse which flashes Press on and off every 2 9 16 seconds in brilliant orange. She is also wearing her shining black cavalier boots which compliment her hairdo. This hairdo is composed of foot-long bangs and cut very short into a tapered upsweep in back. She is now taking a picture of the crew and passengers with her atomic camera equipped with power steering. This is the camera that needs no film. And now preparations are being made to fire the rockets and by my Roy Rogers wrist watch I see it is time to return you to station O. I. Blab, but remember to look in your local newspaper for the results of this important trip. Class History Here we are, the Seniors of '53, waiting on the platform to receive our diplomas. As I get a glimpse of a very familiar face my thoughts wander back to all those little first graders on that Monday morning in September 1942. When Miss Jessie Morris entered I the first grade room she found twenty-two eager little boys and girls to start building their future, namely: Robert Bressler, Charles Crow, Bruce Fischer, Robert Guthrie, Delbert Kasza, Jack Ludlow, Byron Lynn, William Mast, Larry Nordick, Harold Stocker, Leroy Kerfoot, Duane Bomeman, Joyce Aldrick, JoEllen Cherry, Pattie Dunlap, Joan Hutt. Patricia Infield, Dorothy Kasza, Betty Kelley. Marie Latham, Kay Uhland, Charlotte Ellgen. We lost Delbert Kasza the second week of school. This was the year our reputation seemed to be paste eaters. After having such a successful first year we were quite anxious to have our second year get under way. Miss Starrett was our new teacher. Our membership remained the same this year. Miss Mildred Neary was our third grade teacher. Upon her leaving Mrs. Fox took over and finished the year. We lost Jackie Ludlow, Duane Borneman, Harold Stoker. Robert Guthrie and Marie Latham; but gained eight new comrades, David Baxter, Gus Anderson, Duane Fox. Frances Anderson, Evelyn Hill, May Morton, June Harrison. With the completion of the third year we entered the fourth grade with Mrs. Lois Sibcy as our teacher. This year marked the beginning of our fine group of athletes. At this time, we lost Frances and Gus Anderson but gained Bob Greenwell, Junior Kelley, Norval Elzey. Later, in the second semester, we gained a new girl, Frances Bird. In the fifth grade with the help of our teacher. Miss Helen Anderson we had fun making hygiene scrap books. We only lost two members, JoEllen Cherry and Norval Elzey and gained three members. Lily Diemart, Sue Brown and Judy Hastings. The sixth grade is remembered by most of the class members for the hikes and parties. We enjoyed this year of school immensely with Jessie Morris as our teacher. At this time we lost Sue Brown and June Harrison but gained Verta Koch, Tommie Zordel and Marthann Howland. With our captain, Mrs. Grace Farthing, at the helm, we sailed further on our journey for knowledge. This was a special year, for we were now upstairs with the high school, and had the privilege of using lockers. Richard Crow, Billy Perkins, Johnnie Holier, Joyce Woodcock, Jean William and Billy May joined us. We lost Tommie Zordel and Larry Nordick. On that exciting night four years ago twenty-six scared little eighth graders were called individually to the stage to receive their grade school diplomas. Miss Clara Morris was the eighth grade sponsor. We lost Richard Crow, Lily Diemart and Billy May but gained Henry Baxter and Larry Nordick once more. In the first week of September, the year 1948, we enlisted in our first year of High School. We elected Mrs. John Simpson for our sponsor and she started us out in our first big year. New students joining the Freshmen class were: Clyde Jones, Earl Mitchell and Jean Kerns but losing Marthann Howland and Charlotte Ellgen. After a few weeks, our classmate Kay Uhland was stricken with polio, and due to her physical disability, she had to complete her education at Houston. Texas. At the end of the first semester Jean Kerns left our class. We gradually got used to going from one room to another and changing teachers every period. Mr. John Simpson was our sponsor for this year, he helped us sell popcorn at the ballgames to put money in our class treasury. We were sorry to lose Dwayne Fox in death, a great pal to all of us. New students joining our class were: Shirley Smith, Sharyn Abrams, Marie Evans, Wanda Laird, Richard Baxter, Arthur Hollandsworth and Marvin Richardson. We started our Junior year in 1951 with much enthusiasm. This year we ordered our shiny new class rings; and presented the comedy play We Shook The Family Tree, which filled the gym with rollicking laughter. The most outstanding social event of the year was the annual Junior and Senior Prom, using the theme the Mardi Gras, while dancing to the music of Marguerite Brown's Orchestra from Garden City, Kansas; light refreshments were served. New classmates for this year were: Larry Brendlinger, Tommy Stoker and James Ward. Shirley Smith, Marie Evans and Judy Hastings left our class for other schools. Later James Ward left. Mr. Wright was our sponsor this year. In 1952 we started our Senior year, the last of our high school days and perhaps, the best years of our lives. We have twenty-four graduates, after loosing one, Larry Brendlinger, and gaining three, Eugene Cussins, Barbara (Kerst) Kammarcal, and Florence (Weiser) Merica. We elected Mr. R. D. Farthing, sponsor, and again Mr. William Wright, co-sponsor. Our Senior year will long be remembered as our most thrilling year of school. As for what we have accomplished a true picture of the actual amount we have stored in our brains will be shown in later years by what is done by each individual Senior. Our Teachers deserve much credit in preparing us for the trail of life. In years to come we will look back on the memories of E. H. S. and actually appreciate what the members of the school have done for us. This closes the history of our grade and high school careers. So long--we’U be seeing you out where it takes individual initiative and where In Ourselves our Future Lies, our class motto. JUNIORS Class of ‘54 MR.

Eagle Echos {Junior Play Johnathan Mental Patient? “Zake Jour Medicine” Band Director For five consecutive years the Eads School Band, under the direction of Mrs. Philomene Liesen, has won first division honors at the Colorado State Music Contests. In 1948, they carried away honors from the contest which was held at Cheyenne Wells; in 1949, at Burlington; in 1950, at Limon; in 1951, at Eads; and again in 1952, at Kit Carson. This snappy organization has also attended numer- ous fairs and special celebrations held in neighboring towns, given concerts, and played at various school programs. The high light of the year 1951 was the joint concert of this band with the school band of Kit Carson, under the direction of Thomas H. Liesen. These two bands, together, numbered 120 pieces. The year of 1952 was high lighted when they re- ceived an invitation to the Blossom Festival in Canon City. This 75-piece band, with its flashy purple and gold uniforms and its flags flying, brought honors to the town and school of Eads when to the tune of Apple Blossom Wedding, they did clever steps and performed a mock wedding, all of which were original ideas of the director, Philomene Lieaen. Our popular drum major, Peggy Kabel, was the bride who wore a 20-foot veil. Otis Peck was the groom. The majorettes did the honors as brides- maids. In 1953 this band was proved as one of the out- standing bands in the state when it was chosen to represent the class C bands of the state at the an- nual convention of Colorado Music Educators As- sociation in Denver on February 14. It is at this clinic that all school and college music teachers meet to hear 3 good bands play. A guest clinician who is a college instructor conducts the band after they have played a concert of 2 num- bers under their own conductor. He conducts and makes suggestions as to what may or may not be done with a band. To be invited to this clinic is one of the greatest honors a band may have.
