Two Rushtelclts To Go Abroad Two of Granite high's teachers, Miss Nina and Miss Agnes Rushfeldt, will en- joy their summer vacation period with an extended tour of European countries, in- cluding England, France, and Norway. Ac- cording to their present plans, the Rush- feldts will leave for New York on Thurs- day, June 5. From this port of embarka- tion they will sail aboard the New Am- sterdam for the old country. Since the Rushfeldts are of Norgegian ancestry, they will spend one month of their European visit in the Land of the Midnight Sun. On July 11, they will join a study group from Boston University for a conducted tour to all the spots of in- terest in England. The next stop on their journey will be France where they will have the oppor- tunity to see the wonderous sights of Paris. On August 21, they will board a plane in Paris and fly back to the U. S. where they will arrive home in time to attend the annual summer workshop. Finals Out There's Joy in Mudville There's joy in Mudville lGranitel to- night. Yes, top seniors are exempt from finals. On the bulletin board one Friday morning, everyone was asked to be at the top senior party as a very important announcement was to be made. Not knowing what was going to happen, each senior, wonderingly, hurried to the party. As the dances clicked off, the ten- sion rose. Finally, Mr. Johnson looking very solemn advanced to the platform and told everyone to gather around. With a slight hesitation, he began: All con- sideration has been given and the ad- ministration has decided to keep the B average. We will not go back to the C exemption. At this, everyone became sad and downcast. Seeing this, Mr. Johnson, with a sly grin, hesitated, then went on- Everyone but the top seniors must take the final examinations. When the shouts of joy and jubilation had died sufficiently, Mr. Johnson con- tinued: Under two circumstances. Again quiet reigned. Then he made known the two circumstances: ill Unless you want to take the final. C23 If you are failing and have to take the final. At this, all pandemonium broke loose. So instead of sorrow in Granite high, gladness reigns over the top seniors to- night. Mr. Johnson has struck out the final examinations for them. Mowry, Deatherage To Keep Science Pins Alice Mowry and Leslie Deatherage are the only Science club top seniors who will continue to wear their club pins after graduation. Having 75 points for four se- mesters in succesion is the requirement to keep the pin. Points can be earned by attending sci- ence club meetings, working on commit- tees, having a B average, entering the science fair, and holding an office. Leslie Deatherage has been president of Science club 4-2, vice-president of Science club 4-1, president of electronics 3-1, pres- ident of photography 4-1, and vice pres- ident of photography 4-2. Alice Mowry, a charter member, sec- retary of science club 3-2, and secretary of chemistry 4-2. Another year, another president. Leslie Deatherage 4-2, turned the science club gavel over to Marshall Gollub 2-1, new president for fall '52. At the election May 13 Don Coleman 2-2, was elected vice- president, Pat Sher 3-2, treasurer, and Lena Ruth Seligman 3-2, secretary. Destination of the science club picnic was Pere Marquette, Saturday, May 24. Mervil Massey 4-2 chairman of the food committee and Ed Dombrosky chair- man of transportation committee made final plans. Since is rained at the picnic last year all the members kept in touch with the weather man. Artist, TV Star, Hobo Various Future Hopes Behind every face, whether it be solemn and sad or laughing and glad, lies a hidden desire for tomorrow. Maybe you've heard someone say, Nobody passes without some thing to be thankful for, so why overlook today's joys to dream of an uncertain fu- ture. Wishin' Take a peek into the future of these seniors. You can't blame them for wish- in'. Probably the most popular wish is that of peace over the world. Cleeta Snell- ing, Betty Walker, Ralph Barker, and Bob Kadanec wish for this above all others. Since it is said that love makes the world go around, it's undoubtedly a good thing that Clarice Dameron, Margaret Francis, Wilma Lindner, Helen Brazier, Shirley Newman, and Pat Townsend want to be housewives with any amount of child- ren from 2 to 10. Wants Kids Richard Turner wants H10 kids while Bill Hodge will be content with two boys, a farm, and wife. Dale Cook agrees with Bill. He wants a cattle farm in Oregon or Canada. Jack Reese will be satisfied with a southern plantation listening to the strum of banjos. Financially minded are George Robeff, who hopes to have a money vault like Scroogeg and Gale Cuvar just wants a cadillac. Charles Mucho merely wants a couple million dollars to go to Californ- ia in that Cadillac: and a third million will satisfy Dennis Montgomery. New Editor The Chicago Tribune will have Jon Dres- sel as editor if he gets his wish: while Don Conreaux will be a famous commercial ar- tist. Just look on TV for Ed Cook, who will be playing baseball in the major leagues. Norman Reiske, too, will be star- red on TV, on the Howdy Doody Show. Because they love to travel, Lois Woer- man will be speeding toward California on the Silver Zephyr, while Joyce Sanders flies overhead as an airline hostess. Mike Papp, hankering after speed will drive in the Indianapolis Memorial Day Race. Leroy Petty plans on going to the moon by way of rocket ship. Be a Hobo Energetic Neil Kirchner is going into the Hobo profession with Jack Reese. Jack Degonia and Don Henson make on- ly a small request, Just to be living, will satisfy them, while Everett Steele wishes for another 10 years. Dave Whitsell probably expresses a hap- py wish in I simply want to be out of high school. l Senior Edition Statt l Editor-in-Chief .... August Lohmann Managing editor . . .

Second row, Don Sp.alding, Don Henson, Ed Cook, Glenn Davis, Jon Dressel, Bob Cann. Third Row, Milton James, George Robeff, Neil Kirchner, Howard Robertson, Jack Reese and Don Smallwood. Absent when picture was taken were Bill Hodge and Loren Davis. In four years of campaigning on the gridiron, hardwood, mats, courts, and cinders, 20 graduating Warriors will take with them 57 monograms, four captaincies and a few other miscellaneous honors thrown in for good measure. Tiny Tops Appropriately enough, class athlete Howard Tiny Robertson heads the list with seven letters to his credit. Tiny blocked and tackled his way to three on the football team, and copped four by putting the shot in track. He was captain of this year's cinder squad and last year hc went to State in the shot. Salutatorian Hardwood leader, Don Spalding, is the salutatorian of the athletic class, with three G's in basketball and three in base- ball. In addition to being basketball cap- tain, Don was named All-conference for- ward for the past season. Still another captain, Ed Cook of the baseball team, ranks third on the honor Mile Relay Team Runs in State The Warriors' mile relay team, which won second in the district meet and went to the State Tournament May 17 shown as they practiced prior to State. They are Glenn Davis, Jim Ballard, Jerry Miller, and Bill Gaddo. roll. Ed earned two monograms in basket- ball and three as pitcher on the diamond squad. Don Henson, Max Clinard, and Neil Kirchner have each garnered four awards. Don earned two apiece in basketball and baseball, while Neil grunted his way to two as a wrestler and added two more on the gridiron. In addition, he was fourth place winner in the 165 lb. class in the State tournament this year. Max distinguished himself on the mat during his three sea- sons, losing only one match, being sectional champion twice and winning third in State as a senior. He also huffed and puffed his way to a cross country letter. Three Letters Captain Howard Theis of the tennis team took all three of his awards by belt- ing the ball on the courts. Ed King won two G's in basketball and one track letter while attending Edwardsville high school. Bill Hodge received two in football and caught for one in baseball. Two seems to be the most popular num- ber with senior athletes. Jack Reese won his pair backing the line, and was chosen as most valuable player on the 1951 grid team. He also made all-conference guard, and received mention for All-district. L0- ren Davis also plugged the line as defen- sive guard for two, and served as defensive captain after the injury of Capt. Neil Winters. Tom McRaven aced and lobbed the tennis ball for his duo of G's as did Ronald Branding. Jon Dressel copped two as a guard in football, while Bob Cann played tackle for his pair. Max Anderson held up a singles birth on the net squad to cop a couple. Miscalculates Although claiming on his senior ques- tionaire to have earned 40 letters in volley ball, ping pong, badminton and debate, it was discovered after research that George Robeff had gained one monogram in base- ball. Earl Branding, who along with Tom McRaven, went to State in doubles this year, earned his letter on the tennis courts. Don Smallwood battled the behemoths of the mats to earn his wrestling letter. Milton James received a monogram for his efforts at forward on the basketball team.
