Page 24 GRANITE HIGH WORLD Tuesday, May 27, 1952 - - - - 4-2's Recolleci' - - - - Memories Never Fade Away By DOROTHY LESKO Old soldiers never die, they just fade away. But the favorite memories of the class of June '52 will never die or fade away, they'1l just linger in our hearts ev- ery minute that we are away. The follow- ing memories are the favorites of the top seniors. Among those who declared the proms were tops were: Geraldine Harley, Shirley Ohms, Betty Favier, Wanda Houseman, Sandy Dore, Josephine Kelih, Audrey Bur- ich, Pat Bucky, Bob Graf, Barbara Nichol, David Hileman, an-d Mary Herr. The prom given in the junior year rated over all proms with Mary Nonn, Phyllis Cooper, Joyce Rogers, and Mary Hess. Sports Lead Way Along the sports line, Don Henson will enjoy the memory of playing basketball. We'll never forget the football games, agree Bob Withers and Loren Davis. The fun he had on the football trips to Ken- tucky and Chicago will not be forgotten by Bill Hodge. In Ed Cook's memory lingers being elected baseball captain for the '52 season. 'iTravel is fun declare Shirley Linder, Jackie Burckhartt, Dennis Montgomery, Don Bright, Mervil Massey, Chalmer Tuck- er, and Leslie Deatherage, who enjoyed the band tours. Enjoying May Day Nothing can compare with the May Days say Rose Ann Duckworth, Ruth Montgom- ery, June Miles, Cecelia Finck, Rita Pen- rod, and Jeanette Allen. Gab sessions were enjoyed by Margaret Haug before school in study hall, while Kath Hillmer had fun after school in the cafeteria. Bob Kadanec will never forget the time a former pupil of this high school gave him a black eye. I remember when I won 27 cents from Mr. Bozarth, Milton James. The day I Long Travels Did You Know I8 Pretty Babies By Karen Andersen It's a fact that: For the past year Richard Kleffman has traveled from St. Louis to school every morning. Ruth Montgomery was the first mem- ber of the June '52 class to have her name in the Granite High World. Jack DeGonia and Betty LaVelle were chosen as the prettiest babies in our school. Joyce is the most popular girls' name and Bob is the most popular boys' name. Four top senior girls are married and six are engaged. Don Spalding and Eunice Oberdieck are the tallest boy and girl in the senior class. Charles Mucho and Patsy Ellenwood are the shortest in the senior class. Eighty-four top seniors took the gen- eral course. There are four Davis's and three 0ann's in the senior class. Next to Richard Kleffman, Eddie Kerk- emeyer lives farthest away from the school and Marlene Eichacher lives the closest at 2981 Madison ave. Max Clmard has had 62, years perfect attendance. almost chased everyone out of the chemi- stry lab by using the wrong kind of acid in an experiment -Pat Noeth. Bob Kas- telic- The good time Pat Cagle and I had with Miss Garlich in world geography. Remember that look I got from Mr. Dief- enbronn when I broke an emery wheel in machine shop? questions George Maier. Operetta's and festivals will linger in the memories of Max Anderson, Pat Ellen- wood, and Marlene Eichaker. Ed King enjoyed going to them too. Helen Brazier- Wonderful times I had in the organizations to which I belonged. George Robeff, I have too many high school memories. Max Clinard- The wrestling I did in the rec room. All the friends I have made - Earl Branding. Herman Hemken - Getting dropped frorg baseball every year. Paul Greer, vigil s.!7 Homecoming Rates Fun Homecoming rates fun for Howard Theis Dixie Haley, and Alice Mowry. Vineta Mercer and Marlene Mitchell getting ex- empted from finals with a C average. Alice Free, Margaret Frances, Marilyn Ogden, John Breyer, Pat Townsend and Dot Stark, will always remember their senior year. Never will the memories of graduation be forgotten by Bob Basarich, Bob Jones, Betty Rose, Rae Jones and Karen Ander- sen. The memory of summer vacation - Juanita Vaughn, Joyce Shelton, and Richard Turner. Being a member of student council for four semesters - Willa Mae Grove. In Fredric Kennerly's memory will be the' time when Mr. MaCauley caught the boys turning the lights off in the auditorium before an assembly. Geraldine Arbeiter is just satisfied with the memory of having been sent home with the measles. Dixie Haley Wins This Semes'rer's Commercial Ability to follow instructions, excellent skill in typing and shorthand, a willing and co-operative spirit, are just a few of the qualities which brought Dixie Haley the commercial award for this semester. Enrolling in stenography and typing four semesters, and bookkeeping two semesters, Dixie has maintained all grades of B and above in these subjects. Chosen by the commercial teachers, their job this semester was a tough one because of the many students ranking high in commercial subjects. Other stu- dents seriously considered for this award were Rae Jones, Vinetta Mercer, and Phyllis Serfas. Lois Branding Chosen To Go to Girls' State Five feet, seven inches of bubbling en- thusiasm-that's Lois Branding. She should hit Girls' State with a bang! She was chosen because of outstanding quali- ties of scholarship, leadership, and co- operativeness, packaged ing personality. Representatives for Boys' State are chosen Johnson. They must be The purpose of the sponsored camp is to teach students the way the government is run. Not all 10 days from June 24 to July 4 at McMurray college in Jacksonville, Ill., will be spent working. There'll be a lot of friend-making and the usual camp good times. up with a sparkl- both Girls' and by Mr. Russell juniors. American-Legion- A Decade Can Make a Difference By LESLIE DEATHERAGE We're on the rocket ship called Pro- phesy again. Here's your chance to see ten years into the future, to see your classmates as they will be in 1962. We're circling Washington, D. C. now. Care to look through this porthole? There's Richard Kleffman, filibustering on the Senate floor and planning to be the next Republican candidate for Presi- dent. Result? Richard People's Choice Kleffman wins by a landslide. And over there to the right of National cemetery we see Loren Davis, president of the Mortician Union, performing his good deed for the day. Your Friendly Under- taker has already collected Mike Papp's insurance. We're passing over N. B. C., Washing- ton, and see Norman Buffalo Bob Reiske on the Howdy Doody show, where Jerry Hicks is singing a commercial. Jon Dres- sel Writes the script for the show in his spare time: his full-time job is with the Chicago Tribune . Below is the Supreme court building. Bob Kastelic is understudy to Don Davis, a famous lawyer. What was that streak? It looked like Howard Theis trying to beat the stork to the houses of Jeanie Serfas and Joyce Sanders. We'd better go down for gas. There's a service station owned by Dick Curtiss and Fredric Kennel-ly with Bob Cann as head grease monkey. Rita Penrod, air hostess, is telling everyone to fasten his safety belts. Rodney Blevins, pilot of our spaceship, is aided by Herman Hemkin, navigator. Oh! Oh! Better not go down here. Leroy Petty is shooting it out with Geraldine Arbelter, policewoman. We're over the residential section and who are those matrons hanging up diapers? Why, they are Gail Spengel, Alice Free, Gloria Fedorchak, and Clarice Dameron. Over in that other apartment building we see Don Bright, Richard Turner and Jerry Ezell taking care of the kids while their wives are working. Pat Noeth, fa- mous scientist, has just perfected a new way of folding diapers. To the left is a night-club owned by Don Twellman. The playbill features a special dance team composed of Barbara Nicols, June Miles, Shirley Ohms, Pat Bucky, and Alice Mowery. It did mean special, didn't it? That looks like Chalmer Tucker lead- ing the band with Jean Corey on drums. Don Goose Spalding is touring the United States with the Globetrotters. They feature Spalding basketballs exclusively. Back to Ye Olde Alma Mater for a final farewell we see Rose Ann Duckworth teaching typing and shorthand. Sandra. Mills is correcting Miss Dod's theme pa- pers. So we end our space ship jaunt with pleasant memories and an optimistic eye to the future.

U --I Wishw is now one of the most used What do top seniors like in the way of By JON DRESSEL I Love Lucy , the Lucille Ball-Dezi Arnaz television show was recently award- ed the title of the funniest show on tele- vision. According to top senior girls, only one thing is wrong with the program--the name should be changed to I Love Desi. Admlrers Sue Cocagnc, Barbara Nicol, Dixie Haley Sandy Dore, Marilyn Ogden, and Phyllis Cooper are but a few of the many top sen- ior girls who chose Lucille Ball as the role they would most like to portray on televi- sion--because they like her husband. Despite this warning only one male heed- ed the signs of the times. Don Conreaux would like to play Desi Arnaz. Wild amd Wooly The wild and wooly West should have no trouble finding wild and wooly actors as long as graduates of Granite High are on the market. Earl Baker and Harold Zellin would like to be Texas Bruceg while riding along beside them would be the Ro- bin Hood of the old West, Don Bright, as the Cisco Kid. Don't be surprised if you look into your television set someday and see the smoking six-guns of Bob Withers, who would like to portray his hero, Hopa- long Cassidy. Completing the list of des- peradoes is Jack DeGonia, who woul-d like to be Wild Bill Hickok because he enjoys Kellogg's Corn Pops. Herman Hemken has an envious eye cast on the job of the fellow who drinks beer on the commercials: while Jack Reese pre- fers to smoke Old Briar, and Tweed as Martin Kane- --Private Eye. Born five- hundred years too soon are Lois Woerman, Don Twellman and Bill Hodge, who would like to blast away from it all in their rockets as Space Cadets. Undercover Robert Pieper and James Giese prefer to work under cover, as Sam, Red Skelton's unseen property manager. Bob Kadanec is less bashful, as he wants to be the guy who kisses all the beautiful chorus girls. Dagmar has several unknown admirers in Max Anderson and Gale Cuvar. They would like to portray her boy friend. They leave us to guess the reason. Looked at Dennis Montgomery's ears lately? He wants to be Crusader Rabbit. George Robeff would rather keep the whole thing on a formal basis. He wants to be Frank Eschen, because he likes Frank's tuxedos. If you ask Bob Kastelic a ques- tion and hear only a honk in reply, don't be too alarmed. He's practicing for the role of Clara Belle, the clown on the How- dy Doody show. This is merely a sample of the tremend- ous reserve of television talent available at Granite High. Every one interested, how- ever, should hope that Don Davis never a- chieves his role-that of the censor-be- cause he wants to ban ALL T. V. programs. Davis Elected Next semester Quill and Scroll will fol- low Jane Davis, president, who is replacing Leslie Deatherage. Replacing Gus Loh- mann as vice-president is Beverly Kellami Donna Hawks will serve as secretary, the position left vacant by Karen Andersen. Pat Hawks replaces Jane Davis as treas- urer. expressions among the top seniors. If they were given a chance would they do the same as when they started in as fresh- man? Some of them would not, but let's go to them for their wishes. Among those who sai-d I wish I would have worked harder and made higher grades were Betty Rose, Paul Greer, Mil- dred Hollis, Dick Curtiss, Lucretia Stamps, Jean Corey, Robert Laub, Loren Davis, Rodney Blevins, Charles Russell, Rose Duckworth, Fred Mehl and John Breyer. Wishing that they had worked harder to be honor students were, Juanita Vaughn, and Donna Ellis. But Don Bright stated, Everybody says they would have studied harder, but not me. I would probably do the same thing I did before. The wish of having played hookey comes from June Miles, Edward Kerke- meyer, Geraldine Harley, and Albert Lesko. These girls would have liked to have got into more activities when freshmen: Willa Mae Grove, Marlene Mitchell, Alice Free, Margaret Haug, Evelyn Carnahan and Cleeta Snelling. Shirley Ohms quipped, I wouldn't talk in class when the teacher could catch me. Just to have been able to be calm would have satisfied Sue Cocagne. More commercial work would have been taken by Betty Favier, Betty Lavelle, Dorothy Wilmouth, and Gerry Perry. To have been able to go out for cheer leading attracted Marilyn Ogden, Margar- et Francis and Dixie Haley. Don Twell- man would study less and loaf more, while Don Conreaux would do a little more of everything and a little less of nothing. Helen Shaver, Sandy Dore, Helen Brazier wished they had joined the glee club. With sports as appealing as ever to the boys, among those who would have liked to have gone out for more were: Chalmer Tucker, Herman Hemken, Jack Reese, How- ard Theis, Jerry Hicks, Ed Manoogian, James Giese, Earl Baker, Bob Basarick, Harold Zellin and Jack DeGonia. Bob Kastelic wouldn't have made so much trouble in Miss Garlich's classes. With these girls comes the wish of having joined G. A. A.: Rita Penrod, Mary Nonn, Lotus Craig, Pat Townsend, Audrey Bur- ich, Linda Hernandez, and Gail Spengel. Ed King and Dale Cook would have enjoy- ed the thought of joining G. A. A. also. I would have stayed away from girls stated Bob Pieper while Norman Ober- dieck wished he would have had more fun. Kathleen Hillmer declared I would do anything I haven't done. television commercials? A lady cigar! In the popularity poll of the commercials the easy winner was a shapely white haired miss known as Muriel, the fine cigar. Mur- iel received the votes of Bill Hodge, Don Twellman, Jack Degonia, and Norman Reiske. Real Gone Geraldine Arbeiter thinks Muriel is real gone , while Dixie Haley thinks she's cute. Nancy Brady, -Geraldine Beasley, and Vin- eta Mercer like her because she's the most original, but Milton James came up with the oddest reason of all-he likes her beau- tiful legs! Judging from the enormous amount of votes this cigar received there's only one comment to be made. It's a good thing cigars aren't eligible for May Queen! Marilyn Ogden and George Robeff thrill to the boom, boom, boom of the Ajax cleanser ad, while Gloria Fedorchak likes it because the little men in it are real cute. Gale Cuvar prefers Ajax because it foams and floats the dirt right down the drain. Teddy Bear Although most top seniors have no doubt outgrown their teddy bears, many of them still go for Teddy Snow Crop, the little bear on the Snow Crop Frozen Foods commer- cial. Jack Reese goes for Teddy because Teddy reminds him of Sandy Dore. Vir- ginia Kientzy, Pat Bucky, Mary Ann Kos- ick, Jeannie Serfas, Alice Mowry, and Mer- vil Massey think the bear is just plain cute. Jerry Hicks likes the way he bounces a- round on the orange juice sign. Close Shave Among hairy boys Gillette Blue Blades is a favorite. Loren Davis likes Gillette because it reminds him of Peach Fuzz Dressel. Jon Dresel likes it because it takes only two strokes to shave. If you want to be like Hoppy, you've got to eat like Hoppy, is the motto of Eugene Lowell, so his favorite is the 'Grape Nuts Flakes ad. Falstaff, Budweiser and Stag receive the votes of Charles Mucho, Mike Papp, Herman Hemken, John Breyer Albert Lesko, and Leroy Petty. The reas- on - they like it! No Sink Smog There's no smog in the sinks of Joyce Shelton, Pat Noeth, and Gerald Riess, be- cause their favorite is the bass voice which booms out, There's no sink smog with Bab-O! Most members of the class have at least one favorite commercial, but not Jule Blake and Bob Kadanec. Jule thinks they are all lousy, and Bob likes the test pattern -it lasts only one second!
