I I aan 71445449 In the year of 1945 Clara Shephard was one of five beginners on an adventure in education. The number dropped to three during Grade three and remained the same through Grade four even though Walter Moore joined ranks as a fourth grader. From the fifth grade until Grade eight the members were two in number. Maxine Samuel joined the group during the eighth grade for a short time increasing the number to four. Maxine returned to the group for the tenth grade and held the number to three. Walter moved to Seattle, Washington, for Grade 11 and the two girls had things to themselves. Walter returned for completion of his high school education this year. Donald Lemmons joined the group for the Senior year enabling the class to complete their twelve years of schooling with a number equal to 80074: of the 1945 beginning class. The group has had its proportionate part in dramatics, athletics, music, 4-H, and scholarship with highlights being participation in five plays, two Regional Basketball finals, one Kansas City Royal Livestock Exposition plus numerous parties and trips such as the Junior-Senior trip to Red-11-Port and to the Atoms For Peace exhibit. Thus one cycle in the life of four Seniors ends so another can begin. cache 7042! We, the Seniors of 1956-57, being of sound mind and good judgmentn do will and bequeath the following: ,.

Donald Lemmons' sideburns and flattop to Gerald Newby and his drowsiness during Geometry to Jesse Perkins. Walter Moore's noontime lovers technique to Tommie Martin and his love for hot rods to Ozzie Avery. The open faced communications system sitting on the desk in the Gate School office is an interesting gadget---wonder what it can show us for the year of 1967 con- cerning the class of '5'7? 'Just turn this dial says the instruction, so let us try the letter S for Samuel and Shephard. Wonder if the machine can get them both at the same time? Yes it can, for two people do appear and they are in the same room. The Samuel label is directing my attention to the gold sheathed figure of a rock 'n' roll singer that would put E. P. to shame. In the wings off stage Isee plenty hand- waving and directions coming from Clara Shephard, Maxine's voice and drama in- structor from New York. It plainly shows that the student has learned the lessons well from her teacher. Now to dial L for Lemmons. No change---just the two ladies leaving the auditorium and getting into a Iet Teardrop. Now the driver appears as Don Lemmons so guess the machine works okay after all. Up the ramp of an ultra modern Jet service room zooms our party. A young appearing man with familiar characteristics steps to the side of the Jet and finally we realize that we have brought Walter Moore, head technician, into focus without a change of the dial. Five minutes observation on the screen gives the story of the Class of '57--apparently the
