That was a year never to be forgotten. Initiation by the hard-hearted Seniors still makes us shiver. The class party was a great event. Ne great honors were bestowed on us, as We were so seared We couldn't do much. From our class, however, came the winner of the declamation contest, Ceeyle Herrington. Our Sophomore year found seventeen lads and lasses enrolled. We had lost one girl to a lucky boy, but gained Ennis Cox. This year we were represented in baseball, basketball, de- bate, declamation, and music. The Wjollyu Juniors started with fourteen, having lost another girl and boy. It didn't take long to come back to standard, as Geneva Patterson and Marjorie Stone joined our band. The Junior play and the Junior-Senior banquet were the highlights of this year, and we were well represented in all activities. We lost UJeepU Patterson, Marjorie Stone, and Hazel Mabry our Senior year, but Jean Boyle and Helene Stark joined us. This year was fill- ed with thrills. Our Senior rings, the play, the Junior-Senior binquct, and graduation, are outstanding in our memories. A new con ereial department was introduced to our school, and a number of our schoolmates enrolled for these subjects. From this department came our news- paper, the staff composed mostly of Seniors. From our class came the basketball cap- tains, Dale Stumpp, and Pauline McQuerryg the declamation winner, Erma Baumgardncrg three of the one-act play cast, the baseball captain, Vern Dodson, team winners in the shorthand and typing contest, and was well represented in music. i Q 2 E i s ,...-K? 3 , i QE 5 2 7 e 'if , - 1' 1 ire-if-fri :fl sara-L' xgygzg rf , , -ix' ME, Mfhg '.5i1 'f xml, 'WZ gawk fjtfuwli W 52:2 Aijg, 112+ V, .. 1- 7:1 Lf' 1, :fa- wg' y. 1:1 1 Twelve students started and finished high school togetherg Raoul Shrout Dale Stum PP Harold Haekley,Vern Dodson, Ceeyle Herrington, Rhoda Lea T h esc , Marjorie Houston, Pauline McQuerry, Erma Baumgardner, Earlene Smith, Blanche Droege, and Mary Edna Costignn.

While I was thus engaged, I fell into a peaceful slumber. It was a warm June day and one ideally suited for a class reunion. The fifteen for- mer students of Grain Valley were gathered for their first meeting since they graduated in May l938. We,wondered just how these for- mer classmates of ours had spent the years that had gone by. So we inquired with some surprising results. Pauline McQuerry was the first to come under our wandering eyes. Here indeed was cause to be proud to know Paula. She proved that women can have careers and a home at the same time. She was a distin- guished musician, and a well-known teacher of piano. Her husband was instructor of voice at a music conservatory and a very brilliant man. Here was a happy and well spent life. Vern Dodson had fulfilled his highschool ambition and was pitcher in a big-league ball team. He was happily married, and was the proud father of a three year old son which he declared would be another Babe Ruth, if not better. Harold Hackley eral garages. Here makes good. Harold chanic and had soon world. He had been was now the owner of sev- was a case of poor boy had started out as a me- made his place in the married for several years and had one daughter. After spending a few years in idle work, Mary Edna settled down to painting. The first few years were spent in commercial painting, but now Mary Edna is painting artistically. up Q2 . 4 k D .

Helene joined the Kansas City division in its second year, and proved to be one of the most popular singers. Blanche was found to be a well-known model in one of the most exclusive dress shops in New York. The thrilling, romantic, baritone voice of our own, heart breaker Dale Stumpp, was heard Weekly over the air waves in the homes of millions of admirers. Raoul Shrout, one of the most distin- guished leaders in the horticulturist Aworld, had made another interesting, profitable dis- covery in that field. Ennis Cox had just won the shorthand championship of the world for the third con- secutive year. He won the championship typing contest with 215 Words a minute with 98? ,ae- curacy. Marjorie was happily married and lived in Colorado. Her husband was a wealthy ranch- man. Her only children were twins, a boy and a girl, Dennis and Dianne. Rhoda Lea was also married and lived sev- eral miles from Marjorie. Her husband was a well-to-do salesman. Sho and her husband were blessed with three children, two boys and one girl. Both Rhoda Lea and Marjorie were promi- 1 nent members of the Happy Home and Garden Club. A A P if if v K V wx F fe E P? fa 3 !n , Q Y fl, r EF F 1. K 5.

Due to Knowledge of foreign countries, her opinion of world affairs was accepted in the diplomatic World. Cecyle, a Hgay divorceed had at last set tled down, we hope,in Gak Grove for the fifth time. Reno being her favorite Hhauntn we'll probably find her there anytime now. Earlene Smith was heard weekly on the air as the leading feminine actress in HThe Hour of Paredi,e.W Her first picture has just been released and its world premier at the Chinese Theatre, shows e Worldly success. Suddenly I awoke, end to my astonishment found that it was only a dream, This dream seemed to have Lreught me closer to my former classmates and friends, and I sincerely hope that they were enjoying as happy a life as I was.

Being interested in the development of television, I took e special course on that subject and vent to work for a company manufacturing and installing tele- vision equipment. My Work took me to Celi- fornia, where I lived for several years. When the year of'l96O rolled around, I was still working along this some line, having invented a special apparatus which within a certain range enables the user to see anything or a person anywhere at any time. I might add that this is one reason I have never married, for with this machine a wife surely can check up on her husband. As it was presidential elec- tion year, the newspapers were full of cam- paign news and statements about candidates. One morning one of my friends spoke e- bout two of the candidatesg he asked if I knew them. Since they were from Missouri, I reed the newspaper article and looked at the pictures of the persons in question. Their names were Pauline Cooper and Robert Jenkins. Their pictures were not familiar as I remem- ber theng but, unquestionably, they were two of my old school friends. I had not heard from them for e long time,but it seemed as if they had been going places in n political way Thinking of school days made ne homesick for old Missouri again, therefore, I decided to take a vacation and visit scenes of my boy- hood days. I took passage on en airplane for Kansas City. When I crrived there, I found I could go to Grain Valley by airplane as they had Q lending field there. When I landed at Grain Valley,I was much surprised at the way it had increased in size. It was new Q large city with large commercial buildings and nany fine homes. I rcs confused for awhile as to how I could locate someone I knew for everyone I sen was C stranger to me. Y, U lx V i,eenf 1 R 1 S A I .

I knew if I could locate Bob he could tell me about some of the folks I used to know. Several by the name Hutchings were listed, but none of the names were familiar, so I decided to give up and go to Q hotel. I inquired about e good hetel and was directed to the Hutchings Hotel, which was the largest in the town 'having over a hundred rooms with the most modern equipnent including redio and television. It was owned and operated, by my old friend, Bob Hutchings. Bob was in his office. After exchanging heerty greetings, we sat down for Q talk about old times. Of course, our telk drifted beck to Grain Valley High School and to members of our class. We talked about fauline Cooper and Bob Jenkins and their chances to win the nomina- tion for President. They were running on the People's ticket, and Pauline was the first Henan ever to try for the presidency. I found that our two presidential candi- dates were not the only members of our class who hed done well. The mayor of the thriving city of Grain Valley was also e member of our class, Clifford Hoehn. Dale Terry was e famous radio singer-- now living in New York. He was said to have a special seeretery to answer his fan neil. Junior Chiddix was owner of the Skyride Airplane Company end was Hflying right elong.H Elbert Chiddix, or HCrickerW as no used to know him, had been e successful baseball pitcher for many years having figured in more than one Vorld Series. He nas not e manager for one of the big eastern teams. Se popular hid he been that a Breekfest Food Co. was put- ting out souvenir baseballs with Cricket's picture and neue en them.

Wayne Bellew was running e chain of gro- cery stores, three of them being in Grain Valley. Edgar Neill was e U. S. Senatorg and was happily married--so happily in fact that he was trying to put a bill through Congress to levy a heavy tex on all bachelors. Oliver Droege was Superintendent of Grain Valley High School. Mr. Farley had retired from active work, now merely acting in an ad- visory capacity. Earlene Tate was a famous girls'athletic director and basketball coach in C large cast- ern university. Lennea Benson was a fine lawyer and was running for the office of prosecuting attor- ney. Lorene Elliott was Q famous big game hunter and explorer in Africa. She sent rare and valuable specimens and trophies to the largest museum in the rorld. Rogene Cousins was e dress designer with an office in New York,and made frequent trips to Paris Working out new ideas and patterns. Frances Renick was a writer. She had written several books, and was a regular con- tributor te several magazines. Lucille Corlew was an artist. Sho Wes then over in Europe on e vacation, taking a rest. Her Work was very popular and profit- able. Vera Story had gone to Hollywood four or five years after she graduated from school. After starring in several famous pictures,she had retired and was living in California. I asked about Miss Guthrey, and was in- formed that she had quit teaching a year or so before and his not on a trip around the world. Bob and I decided that the cless of l939 had done well, and were glad to belong to it. 1 H 1 K S I r B 1 1 U F 1: 9 3 1 1 w Y ' r iam F i r If , 1 If I M9 fi i .
