Before we realized it, the carnival season had arrived. We elected Mac Biggs and Shirley Jo Harter as our candidates for king and queen. They rode on a float decorated as a football field. That night Shirley Jo was crowned queen. Since we were doing so well in football, we had a sudden burst of school spirit and honored our undefeated team with a dance. we asked the team to elect a football queen and her attendants. we kept the winners a secret until that night when Betty Joe Koen was chosen queen. Jodie Edwards and Lorraine Brooks were her attendants. Jodie was later elected basketball queen at the sophomore dance. We gave a school amateur show for our assembly program. Rex Fuller stole the show when Mac Biggs and Ray Detring carried him on the stage in a tub as an ad- vertisement for nSoapsy Suds.n At the end of the year, the fact that we were to be Seniors was made real to us when we chose our senior class rings. From the very first, our senior year was a continuous whirl of work and fun. we knew that this was definitely going to be our most important year. Every time something happened we'd say, nJust think, kids, this is the last time we'll ever get to do thisln we chose Miss Halter and Mr. Wright for our sponsors and they were just thrilled to death! We elected Jim Roberts, president, Wally Schram , vice-presi- dentg Geraldine Ramsey secretarygand we entrusted Pat Bryant with our accumulated savings. We chose Bill Sutherland for sergeant-at-arms. For Student Council, we elected Gloria Giessing and Ray Detring. They were about the only ones with a one average in conduct! we immediately began selling things. At first it was magazine subscriptions, for which we set a new record,then football pencils and later basketball pencils. Our motto became, UA pencil for every season.n we sold picture frames and theater ticket books. hhren't we busy little kids! ' We gave our senior dance, after it was postponed once because of heavy snows using the theme of the Mardi Gras. The boys dressed as girls and did a chorus line to HWe are the Girls of the R H. Chorus.n Mr. Wright was the chorus captain. They received an offer from the Garrick, I believe! we ended our Christmas festivities by giving an assembly program, and everyh one went home filled with the holiday spirit. Before long you heard everyone saying, nSixty more packing days until the trip.W Everyone became very excited and lessons took second place to our prepara- tion for the trip. we hated to come back to school after such a wonderful week of adventure and travel, but, due to certain circumstances, we came! This morning we held the traditional services of lowering our flag and rais- ing the junior flag and leaving all our treasured possessions Clike the Senior Doorsl to the care of the Juniors. It was a very sad and serious occasion for it made us realize how very soon we would be leaving good old F. H. S. And now, in a few minutes, I'll be leaving for the high school where I'll meet the rest of my classmates for our graduating exercises. we will be both proud and sad--proud to have reached our goal at last, and sad because our high school days are ended. Gee, Diary, I certainly hope the kids will take good care of our school and its traditions. Maybe once in a while someone might even rememf ber us! I hope we've succeeded in being good Seniors. It's time to close, Diary,and I feel that I am also closing the door on four of the most wonderful years of my life. Well, wish me luck and pray that I don't fall off the stage! . Goodbye, Diary, Love, Janet 00060000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOQOOOOO000000 9

F5335 . k X Isl - ff V MW, Dear Diary, here. Why, it high school days but we were such appointed as our 'xi I Just think! Tonight we graduate! After twelve long years we finally got seems as though it were only yesterday that we were starting our as Freshmen. Really it was way back in September, l9L8. Heavens, children then! There were 73 in our class and poor Mr. Ruddy was sponsor to help us get started. CThat's a year he'll never for- get!D And, let's see, yes--Wally Schramm was president, Bonnie McClure, vice- presidentg Nancy Graves, secretary, and Carl Wray, treasurer. I remember we chose Gloria Giessing and Ray Detring as our representatives for Student Council. We all thought it was a great honor for them even though we didn't know exactly what it was. Jodie Edwards was our cheerleader and did a grand job all through high school, even if she did take a few spills her senior year! We really felt honored when the Seniors gave a dance especially for us. All the Freshmen were supposed to make a green hat. Carla Lewis and Gaylord Meyer won prizes for making the best hats. we were thrilled when it came time for us to choose 'king and queen candi- dates for the school carnival. We chose Jodie Edwards and Ray Detring then set about working on the float. we thought ours was best, naturally, and were very proud of it. Jodie and Ray both received second place. Sixty-eight of us came joyfully back the next year, eager to let people know that we were no longer those'Little Green Freshmen.H Miss Tetley and Miss Halter, our sponsors, had a terrible time with us the first few weeks because of our swelled heads! By now, we felt very experienced and elected our officers very confidently. They were: Ray Linn Kollmeyer, president, Lorraine Brooks, vice- president, fa new girl that yearlg Loretta Chatman, secretary, and Ruth Bell, treasurer. We let Ray Detring use his brawn for something besides football and made him sergeant-at-arms. We elected Loretta Chatman and Jim Roberts to be our class representatives for Student Council. Loretta later was elected vice-presi- dent of the organization. Jim, the lucky boy, also went to Jefferson City on the Sophomore Pilgrimage. For our carnival king and queen, we elected Jim Roberts and Betty Joe Koen. Our class assembly was very clever, we thought, and brought lots of laughs-- especially Bill Sutherland, dressed as a woman having trouble with her twins, Rex Fuller and Obie Dunlap Cdressed as a little girl and boyj The square dance fever reached us in the spring, and we gave one for the school. we even went so far as to hang saddles from the basketball goals! We felt a little sad when the Seniors graduated, but we couldn't help being glad that we were to be Juniors the next year. Then all of a sudden we were back in school and known as Wupperclassmen.n We certainly thought we were something, but I'm afraid Miss Bird and Mr. Wright, our sponsors, didn't entirely share our opinion. At our first class meeting, we elected Gaylord Meyer president, who tried his best to keep us quiet, Gloria Giessing, vice-president, Geraldine Ramsey, secretary, and Earline Swink to take care of our small amount of money. we chose Pat Bryant and Wally Schram for Student Council representatives, and later in the year, Ray Detring was elected vice-president to serve during our senior year. we started planning our senior trip,even even have enough money for a trip to DeLassus their gentle hint and started selling cookies operating the junior stand. Near the end of we did just about everything from raking leaves to ironing clothes and shingling a house. though our sponsom said we wouldn't if we didn't get busy. So we took and cards, having bake sales, and the year, we had a junior work day. 000000OOO00OOOOOOQOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO000000 8
