Anyone For Tennis Spoken fror Anything For Food oN'l , Lizzie 1 Mr. America o emor History In the class of fifteen pupils whom graduates from F.H.S. this spring, two of them have gone through all their years of school together. They are Barbara Lott and Don West. Miss Weber started the ball rolling by teaching us in our Kindergarten year. As she soon found out we were much more capable of doing things other than playing in sand piles, she promoted us to the first grade. To greet us at the door in the first grade room we found Miss Holquist who ushered us to our seats and shoved a book in front of our faces and tried to teach us how to read. It didn't take us very long until we had read Dick and Jane” so into the second grade we went. Jo Ann and Marion Pollock joined us in our second year after going to country school. Miss Stewart taught us in our second grade year, and then Miss Hurst had the honor of teaching our third grade year. Our class grew much larger in our fourth year, as we had four additional pupils. These were Jerry Heinz from Sutton, and Dale Schneider, Hugh Dado, ana Burton Storm, all of whom came in from country schools. Dale and Hugh went back to country school at the end of the year. Wayne Cantrell and Richard McMahon joined us in our fifth year. During our fourth and fifth years we had one of our long to be remembered teachers. Miss Jackson. While we were in our fifth year we had several different teachers due to the illness of Miss Jackson. Mrs. Ekwall had the privilege of teaching this brilliant class through our sixth year. Marvin Nichols came to join us, from country school and Corky Moyle moved in from North Platte. Our seventh grade proved to be a very successful year, especially for the basketball team. Along with the eighth grade we traveled through a flood to Ong and won the Southern Nine grade school tournament in one day. Mr. Montgomery was our teacher and coach. In this stage of our schooling Joyce Busselle from Lincoln joined us; and Carol Homer, who started to school with us, left to spend a year in California. With the addition of Charlene Keil from country school and Carol Hynie from Bridgport, we slid through our eighth grade exams with the help of Miss Madsen. As we went into our green Freshman year we picked up Dolma Lefler, Richard Perkins Dick Smith, Dale Schneider, and Hugh Dado from country school. Carol Hynie left to go to Lincoln, and Corky Moyle left at the end of the year to go to Grafton. Mr. Montgomery was our sponsor. Bob Eich came in our Sophomore year and left at the end of that year. We also lost Richard McMahon who moved to York and Burton Storm who is now in the service. Miss Allen was our sponsor. Our Junior year treasures many memories to be carried on through our lives. This includes our play, high school parties, class rings, and last but not least our Junior and Senior banquet. At the end of our Junior year Carol Homer join- ed the courts of Holy Matrimony and Delmar Little was called to service. He is now overseas. Mr. Wochner was our sponsor. There are many memories brought to us in our Senior year, such as getting class pictures, sneak day, senior play, putting out the annual, baccalaureate and commencement. We graduated with fifteen members in the class and Mr. Wochner and Mr. Brown as sponsors. bLNIOR CLASS .VILL As a token of our kindness and our sincere love for all mankind, we the Sen- ior class of Fairmont High, wish to be jueath a number of our fondest possessions to our fellow students In the hope that we shall not be completely forgotten in the years succeeding our departure from these hallowed halls. We wish especially to recognize the next year's Senior class by leaving our most highly prized possession tc them; this being the numerous wads of chewing gum to be found under our beloved desks. We heretowith dispossess the following articles: Valerie Olson wills three Inches of her heighth to Deverle Slaughter knowing she wITl FTnd a good place to put it. 3arbara Lott, running out of the school-house, wills her ability to get along witR the teachers to Dick Hender;her saxaphone to Poodgie «Vettstead and her letters from out-of-town to anyone who will answer them. Hugh Dado leaves his curls to Richard Kness because he thinks Richard will look cute irT them. Delma Lefler, gazing at her well-polished shoes, gladly wills her shortness to Marllyn Sohling and her sacred spot on the school bus to her brother Howard. Jerry Heinz reluctantly submits his square cut to the care of Bev Smith. To Poodge Wettstead he leaves his girlish figure. His distorted sense of humor goes to Mr. Brown because obviously he doesn't need it. nayne Cantrell wills his bashfulness to Del Galusha and his ability to get along with 3. Range to Jacky Pease. Charlene Kell,drooling over a chocolate sundae,wills her giggles to Donna Hulse nnJ her typing ability to Jerry Galusha feeling that he can defi- nitely use it. Dale Schneider bequeaths his stiff whiskers to John Anderson. His shyness around girls goes lo Jeff Mumby. Richard Perkins leaves his ability to run 5 2Q0 feet with ease to Howard Lefler hoping that he can accomplish much. Marlon Pollock wills her ability to walk demurely though she never does to Ivan Little because, undoubtedly, he can use it. Dick Smith, yawning broadly, leaves his ability to loaf and get by with It to John Lowe. His ability to be broke goes to Stan Nichols. Don .Vest wills his horse laugh to Shirley Tutty and his short hair to Shirley Souba. Joyce Busselle, racing the motor in her old mere , loaves her glasses to Bev. Smith. Her height goes to Delila Cantrell. Marvin Nichols, exerting himself on the vollo uaxx floor, leaves his blue pick-up to Terry 'ohepherd. His baritone ;oes to Jeff Mumby. Jo Ann Pollock wills her good qualities (which are few in number) to Darlyne MaulTHy since she seems to admire them so. Her red-brown hair goes to Jan 3usselle with the understanding that Jan will not bleach or dye it. To all not mentioned in the proceeding we leave our great Intelligence and our happy attitude. We, the class of being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare the aforesaid to be our last will and testament, signed, sealed, and delivered on this, the twelth day of May, nineteen hundred and fifty four. The signing of this official document was witnesse'd by our sponsors, Mr. Rex Wochner and Mr. Robert Brown and was passed and approved. These people are not pictured: Gerald Heinz, Wayne Cantrell, Dick Smith, and Donald West o When the class of 5U graduated, we all signed an agreement stating that we would write to each other In twenty years. Well, at last the day has arrived and as I sit in my office looking at the letters, this Is what I read: Remember Hugh Dado and Valerie Olson? Well, their letter says that they are happily married and are living In Burress, Hugh runs the grain elevator there. Oh, by the way, they have twin girls who have Just started to school. They say that they see Wayne Cantrell nearly everyday as he goes through on his dally run. Let’s check Wayne’s letter and see just what he Is doing. Here It Is. Let’s see, he says that, after nineteen years of struggling to become chief engineer on the Burress run, he has at last realized his goal. I offer my most sincere congratulations to him on this great achievement. Delma Lefler writes that she Is so busy in ner new Job of National Home Ex- tension Agent that she hardly had time to write. She says that she thoroughly enjoys her work. She is married and is raising a nice little family of five with the help of a governess. I see where one of the class has made It to Hollywood. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not a movie star. Just a playboy and one of Hollywood’s most eligi- ble bachelors. This carefree playboy is Dale Schneider. He seems to be weaken- ing though,.as he writes that he thinks that he has at last found the girl of his dreams. , . , . _ The other day, as I read the paper, I saw where a Marvin Nichols of Geneva Nebraska had been named Typical Parmer of the United States . I wondered at the time if this could be the same Marvin I knew. Well, I’ve just finished his letter and he says that he’s the one. He writes that for being named Typical Farmer of the United States he received $5 000 and is planning a three months trip to Hawaii, Here’s a letter postmarked Chicago. I see it’s from Don West. It seems he has his own building firm. He says that he has a very Important project on right now-----building Eskimo igloos in Alaska. You all remember Jerry Heinz’s ambition in life don’t you? Well, he made it. He is now considered on of the country’s most skilled surgeons. He writes that his private secretary is a 514- graduate. Hmmml wonder who it is. Oh, by the way, Jerry makes records for Columbia on the side. He also lives in Chicago. This letter came as quite a surprise to me. Remember Dick Smith and Richard Perkins? Well, their ietter says that they are fur trappers in Canada. They write that they are running a very profitable business. Girls, here’s your chance to get a mink coat at cut prices 1 Joyce Busselle writes that she is running a modeling school. She says that she really enjoys her work. She also writes that Jo Ann Follock went to her school and is now working in New York. Upon reading JoAnn's letter I find that she is retiring from her Job in a few weeks. She says that she is getting too old to be a model and is going to stay at home and raise her family of three. Have any of you ridden on the Burlington railroad lately? It seems that one of our old classmates holds a very prominent position on the Burlington staff. Charlene Keil writes that she is the secretary to the president of the railroad And not only that; she’s married to himl He controls the railroad and she con- trols him, so as 1 said before, she has a very prominent position on the staff. At last I’ve found out who Jerry’s secretary Is I It’s Barbara Lott. Barbara writes that she ran into Jerry in Chicago one day, and he asked If she wouldn’t like to work for him so she accepted. She says that Don West, Jerry and she get together quite often and talk over old times. After reading these letters, I feel very pleased to have been a Part of that class. We always were successful in all we did though. I feel safe in saying that ours was one of the best classes ever graduated from Fairmont High School. If you don’t believe It, Just ask one of us. Ohi I guess I’ve forgotten to tell you who I am. I’m Marion Pollock. I’m the first woman to be appointed as war- den of a Federal prison. I'm affiliated with Alcatraz. Who knows, maybe I'll be seeing some of you here soon.
