V r r J ✓ 5 r ✓ j s rd T r r1 r CLASS POEM Twenty green freshmen straight from heaven Resolved to be seniors of forty-seven And now that we have accomplished our aims We have set our goals for still higher claims. In order that you may know them well About our classmates we must tell Lest we forget they are our pals We've written a poem about our guys and gals. An attractive blonde is our Shirley Is it true she likes hair that is curly? Wendell Couch the shiek of our class Has gone to Cordova and found a fair lass I Charleen Clover is destined to be Working with Frankforter in a Grocery. Don thinks there’s nothing so fine as a jeep But lately his parents get little sleep. Lower classmen are Elizabeth’s joy She’s especially fond of a junior boy. Dwaine Thomsen, our tallest lad. Says playing hookey is just a fadi To be a singer would be lots of fun We know-Eyvonne is a gifted one. Bob Leibee is our football star With athletics he will go far. For some reason, Geneva is Cleo’s favorite town She may have a business ther of great renown. John is the fellow that likes to dance But the morning after he’s in a trance. Lea Ann drives a ford, when at school she is due Someday she'll drive one and it will be blue. A great gad about is our La Rue He hopes someday to find a girl that’s true. Marilyn dreams of teaching as her profession We wish her luck and much progression. Plymouths or Dodges; either will do But there's only one girl to whom Tom will be true Dorothy is the oldest girl in our class To be a secretary is the Joy she will surpass. Virgil is a handsome fellow He likes a moon that's soft and mellow. And so ring the bells of parting For our separate ways we must go So fast have these memories been darting That our goodbyes are said in tones low I r 4 d d =- r s d d f f i i d r j r ' r =Li V: V- — j Vw , d 7 f d r d T f CLAoS HISTORY On August 31, 1943, promptly at 9s00 o clock, twenty prospective carnival hands entered the halls of Exeter High for their four-year contract• Mrs. Bitter as ringmaster; Virgil Condon, trainer; Tom Manning, assistant trainer; and Eyvonne Plettner, ticket-taker started us out on our Journey to success. We were duly initiated into the business by the Sophomores in early October. That fall our cast was weakened by the loss of Ramona Chapman. Advancing steadily in our careers the second semester was marked by no other change than that of the posi- tion of ticket-taker which was given to Shirley Johnson. The season ended well and we all left on three-month vacations. In September of 1944, nineteen hands registered for the coming season. Miss Pickett was ringmaster, Donna McCormick assumed the position of trainer while Charleen Clover became assistant trainer and Tom Manning took tickets The semester was extremely uneventful with the exception of the Freshmen initiation. When we assumed per- formance for the second half of the season Eyvonne plettner guided us as trainer and Wendell Couch accepted the duties of assistant trainer. Don Clarke was ticket-taker. We proceeded happily on and looked forward to our next two years as upper classmen. However, a few days before parting for our summer activities we enjoyed a pic- nic at the Blue River, followed by a skating party at Waco, ended our seasons duties. In September of 1945, all the members of the carnival company reappeared with the exception of Bob Cochrane and Donna McCormick who left to render their services to other concerns. Miss Lambrecht took over the position of ringmaster, Carol Kennedy became the trainer Tom Manning was chosen for the position of assistant trainer and Bob Leibee was elected ticket-taker. Also in this season we were given our first chance to display our dramatic ability. We successfully r 0 0 s sr f 0 0 rendered the play Adams Evening , directed by Mrs. Wholstenholm. Our cast was again weakened by the loss of Jack Songester who discontinued his career and Carol Kennedy who left for another company. For the second half of the season Virgil Condon was train- er, Tom Manning continued as assistant trainer and Wendell Couch became ticket-taker. This season was outstanding for our long- waited Junior-Senior banquet which marked our debut and by which we carried out our carnival theme. The season ended with a boat- ride party in a nearby town. At exactly 8:59i, September 2,1946, sixteen confident seniors nonchalantly walked into the main tent. John Vennum, a new member of our company, Joined us in the senior rows. Miss Lambrecht was ring- master, Tom Manning was elected trainer, Dwaine Thompson was assis- tant trainer and Dorothy Clinkenbeard was ticket-taker. A supper and theater party renewed for us our old acquaintanship and we pro- ceeded gallantly on our Road to Success . Participating unani- mously in extra cirricular activities, we were all saddened when in October, Virgil Condon was lost temporarily due to tne misfor- tune of a broken leg. This was the result of one of our thrilling football games with six seniors comprising the team. You 11 Die Laughing was selected as the class play given April 10 and 11. Packed with thrills and laughs this mystery comedy proved a delight the the audience. With only a few weeks remaining to fulfill our contracts, we anticipated several events which climax our career at Exeter High. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at the annual Junior-Senior banquet May 7 in the high school gym. Baccalureate services were conducted May 18. The class day program was given May 21. On Thursday evening May 22, Commencement exercises were held at the Exeter theater. So ended the successful career of this carnival company----with many happy memories of school days and high hopes and ambitions for the future. r W 0 0 0 S 0 f 0 0 0 0 ? r J T 'A MU- 0 0 0 0 0 yvw LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of Exeter High School, 1947, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in manner and form as follows: I, Don Clarke, will and bequeath my ability to grow tall to Wilma Jean Dumpert.

XXX x CLASS PROPHECY Having consilted Madame Tellusso, the famous fortune teller, she consenteu to give us a glimpse of the class of � 47 as they will be situated in 1957, ten years from now. Con Clarke ana his trombone have established the famous Clark- son Swing Eanu.n The rumor is out that Don is making a fortune but has no wife as yet, to spenc it. Dorothy Clinken eara startea out as a beauty operator, but a certain young man we all know, thought she would look better across the breakfast table. Her last report said, Virgil and fanily are doing fine. Lea Ann Morgan had the honor of being the first girl in our class of � 47 to be married. That was quite some time ago ana now Mrs. Tom Votipka is the loving mother of three charming children. Dwaine Thompson decided his career would be farming. Soon his dishes got dirty «nd he ran out of clothes, so he took his Plymouth ana went over to Cordova. He was gone for several weeks and then we all saw the notice in the paper that Mr. Thompson and his bride are now living on Mr. Thompson s farm noitnwest of Exeter. Elizabeth Menke is now a trainee nurse at tne St. Klizaoeth Hospital in Lincoln. She says it makes her feel just wonderful to think that she is helping so many poor helpless young men get well. LaRue Krogh has hac quite a time deciding what to do. After trying severnl jobs and not liking any of them, he purchased another barber chair, cnanged the window sign to read, Otto Krogh Son, Barbers, and is now leading a nappy bachelor s life. (P. S. He still courts Rosie Krdkamp.) Shirley Johnson followed Lea Ann with a very close second in marriage. She and Max Becker are having a very prosperous life raising coons on a farm south of Exeter. f At JTjf a£a VVW aX. 'III,. -'III,. -Mil,. '|||,. .......................................... ’«I .

X X X X Wendell Couch, the wolf of our class, has surprised us all and settled down to a nice quiet life. After leaving high school, he went to Wayne, and there he met the girl of his dreams. He immediately went to work preparing for the future. Charleen Clover decided that a business career was not for her, Instead she came back to the neighboring town of Friend, and has a growing interest in the Prankforter grocery store. One of the most prominent business men of Exeter is Virgil Condon. He has manufactured the new 'Condon Speedwell car, and has reconverted Erdkamp Motors into his factory. Of course, his inspiration has always been his wife, Dorothy. After six years of college life. Bob Leibee finally decided to settle down. Since he didn’t care for the life of a hatchery man and Eyvonne didn’t like the oil business. Bob realized his life ambition and became a mining engineer. Eyvonne Plettner’s life ambition was to be a radio singer, but Bob had something to say about it and decided that she would make a better wife. She has now put her voice to work and sings lullabies to the young members of the family. Thomas Manning completed his college course and we now find him back at Burress scrubbing and waxing the dance floor for the ever popular Thursday night Ball . His wife, the former Marilyn Murphy, has reopened the Burress school and has an enrollment of twenty-five pupils. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Manning have really made Burress an up-and-coming town. Last but far from least, we find Cleo Kelly has been married to Francis Becker for several years. She worked a few years in Lincoln, but vkien Francis came home from the army, they got married and live on a farm near Geneva.

Everyone in attendance, which was almost the entire student body, reported a good time. The Junior-Senior banquet, the long awaited event, was given Wednesday, May 7, in the high school gym. Decorations followed a moonlight garden theme. Flowers formed the basic decorative mat- erial. The banquet was prepared and served by the Sophomore girls.

In the last two minutes of play Erdkamp, center, stole the ball from a Friend player and ran twenty yards for the winning touchdown. After the game Krogh received a hand injury in a freak accident which put him out of play for the balance of the season.

A constitution was adopted at that time which gave the student an opportunity to participate in the government of the school One revision of the constitution was adopted in 1926.and another in 1940. The Student Council is the governing body of the student gover- nment. It is composed of eight members, two from each class. The class from which the president of the council is elected, selects another member. The council s duties are varied.
