f' GLcm. On the nice, sunny, morning of August 31, 1942, thirty-three bright, shining faces appeared in the room of Miss Lois Kirkwood. They were: Billy Ahlbrecht, Jack Beghtol, Gary Cioke, Kaiph Carter, James Earhart, Jimmy Gilfillan, Charles Grimes, Kenneth Major, Cloyd McCarty, Gene Morrow, Albert Myers, Carles Newburry, Norman Penrod, Max Peck, Jerome Scott, John Smith, Gary Thomas, James Thomas, Gene Thummel, Sylvanis Weeks, Billie Ware, Jerry Northup, Craig Wolf, Jack Glasgow, Edith Archer, Florence Bihian, Mary Jo Hannah, Bonnie Hemm, Rose Mary McGregor, Patty Mae Morrow, Patty Jo Noel, Beverly Price, and Martha Sickels. In our second year, as many came and went, we added Raymond Ehret, Addis Laughlin, Jerry Ware, Jean Davis, Judy Lee, Marsha Tynan, and Anita Leinenwever. We lost Ralph Carter, Jimmy Gilfillan, Max Peck, John Smith, James Thomas, Gene Thummel, Sylvanis Weeks, Jack Glasgow, Edith Archer, Florence Bihain, Mary Jo Hannah, and Martha Sickels. All suffered the loss of Kenneth Major. Our teacher was Miss Bertha Trumper. As the good old school bell rang on September 4, 1944, those newcomers under the supervision of Miss Margaret Sloan were: Wilfred Boettcher, John Campbell, Joyce Roberts, Geraldine Simmons, David Heckler, and Grace Tedrow. We lost Billy Ahlbrecht, Cloyd McCarty, Jerry Northup, Jerome Scott, Billy Ware, Jerry Ware, Craig Wolf, Gary Cioke, Jean Davis, Marsha Tynan, and Anita Leinenwever. As we traveled on to our fourth year we gained Gary Raymond, and Ronald Curtis. We lost Wilfred Boettcher, John Campbell, Geraldine Simons, Addis Laughlin, David Heckler, and Grace Tedrow. We were under the direction of Miss Lois Fowler. On the morning of September 9, 1946, we found seventeen bright fifth graders under the guidance of Miss Clair Kling. Newcomers were Mary Ann Allen, Nancy Terry, James Stribling, Duane Lang, Howard Moore, Robert Chichester, and Arling King. We lost Raymond Ehret, Judy Lee, and Joyce Roberts. On the morning of September 2, 1947, twenty-two scared sixth graders climbed the stairs of old EHS to begin our school days on the second floor. Those joining our class were Billy Bob Burns, Carolyn Liles, Kaye Hogue, Julia Liles, Betty Adamson, Joyce Glotfelty, Joan Staton, and Patricia Peck. We lost Duane Lang, Howard Moore, and Mary Ann Allen. Our instructor was Mrs. Helen Hughes. As we marched on into seventh grade Mrs. Mable Finney greeted us. There were no newcomers, but we lost Nancy Terry, Betty Adamson, and Patricia Peck. On August 29, 1949, Miss Eileen Canady welcomed twenty-three students into her eighth grade room. Those looking forward to becoming Freshmen were: Ronald Curtis, Kaye Hogue, Carolyn Liles, Julia Liles, Harold McCoy, Rose Mary McGregor, Bonnie Hemm, Joan Staton, Pat Noel, Billy Bob Burns, Gary Thomas, Pat Morrow, James Earhart, Arlone King, Norman Penrod, James Stribling, Wilfred Boettcher, Melvin Ploss, Jack Beghtol, Darrell McKittrick, Ronald Cioke, Mickey Simmons, and Jean Henderson. We lost Beverly Price. The fall of '50 found us Freshmen. This was something new to us and we were all a little scared at first. Initiation week found us all acting as the Seniors said, and we had to laugh at ourselves too. Our class, being the largest it had been since our first year in school, was now enrolled with twenty- six members. Newcomers were: Darrell McKittrick, Irma Cioke, and Mickey Simmons. Our sponsor was Mr. Tom South. Our class officers were: President, Bonnie Hemm; Vice-President, Jack Beghtol; and Secretary-Treasurer, Joan Staton. Our Sophomore year began August 27, 1951. We had no newcomers, but lost Arlene King, James Stribl- ing, Ronald Curtis, Robert Chichester and Irma Cioke. Our sponsor was Mr. Tom South. Our class officers were: President, Norman Penrod; Vice-President, Jack Beghtol; and Secretary-Treasurer, Joan Staton. As Juniors we felt very, very important. Right away we started planning for our banquet in the spring and chose Balfour in Des Moines for our class-rings. Our banquet theme was the Mardi Gras. Our Junior class play was Huckleberry Finn, under the direction of our sponsor, Mrs. Geraldine Shive. Our class officers were: President, Joan Staton; Vice-President, Jack Beghtol; Secretary, Victor 8els; and Treasurer, Norman Penrod. We lost Darrell McKittrick, and Harold McCoy, who went to serve Uncle Sam. We gained Howard Lyon. Well, here we are at last, the honored class of Senior. Some of us thought we’d never make it this far, but as for most of us we will miss it down deep in our hearts. A few of us are making prepar- ations for college, and others are ready to step into the duties of being on our own. Anyway all of us are looking forward to the day when we shall receive our diplomas in the spring. This year our class sponsor is Mr. Burns. Our class officers are: President, Patty Jo Noel; Vice- President, Jack Beghtol; Secretary, Barbara Thompson; and Treasurer, Norman Penrod. Our motto is 'The Surest Way Not To Fail Is To Determine To Succeed.” The class flowers are red and white carnations. Class colors are rose and silver. We are working very hard on our annual, and Mr. Burns is busy helping us. Our class pictures have been taken and I guess we all expected Miracles—. We have not picked out our class plfiy yet but have given it a little thought. At the end of this year I'm sure we all will be very proud to be graduating from good old EHS. By Rose Mary Umphress 16

Bonnie Hemm, and they are very happy now we hope it lasts. We then went to the schoolhouse. It hasn't changed a bit. Bob Burns followed in his father's footsteps; he is superintendent of the place now. While we were visit- ing the classes, we saw our old classmate Melvin Ploss, who is a typing and math- ematics teacher there now. He seems happy. As we were leaving the building, a man was coming down the street, he was a detective, and as he came closer we noticed it was Jim Earhart. Jimmy has made a name for himself, as did Fearless Fosdick. We were going down the street where we noticed a beauty salon. When we inquired, we found that Carolyn Liles had gone into the business. Her motto is BLONDE BLEACHES BETTER. Rose Mary Umphress, who married while she was a Senior, of course is still married, and we have found that she is in Hollywood, and has become a famous opera singer. Of course, you remember Pat Morrow. She is a famous model now, and is on all the advertisements, the before and after's. I won’t say which she models for. We ran into Howard Lyons on the street, and he is a big ciggie manufacturer in New York, just here for a visit. You have heard of LION cigarettes. One of the smartest girls in our class, Kaye Hogue, went to college and is very successful as a housewife to Victor Sels on a farm. La Verne Fite, now a famous author, writes on marriages. His latest book is HOW TO KEEP YOUR HUSBAND HAPPY. Another one of the smartest girls in our class was Barbara Thompson. She married Johnny. He remained in the Army, and every where that Johnny goes Barbara tags along. We looked for Norman Penrod and found him playing baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies. Pat Jo and Norman got married; Pat doesn't like the profession because they can't live together. Last but not least we found Pat Noel. She married Bob H., who is sheriff of Eldon. They own a farm. Pat is deputy. By Pat Noel Class Poem The Senior Class of 1954, Who number twenty in all Have trodden the steps from floor to floor To classes and to answer roll call. We have looked forward for the day To finish our readin', writin', and ’rithmetic. And we are very happy to say The teachers spared the hickory stick. We had some talent, both girls and boys, In plays, music, and sports. We know we made a lot of noise And had to write reports. School is like everything else; You must take the bitter with the sweet. But as our years roll on, We will always remember E.H.S. can't be beat. To our teachers Farewell---- We are sorry for things we did wrong. And to our classmates and friends we tell, Success and happiness and so long, 15
