It was a pecu- liar dream, one in which I visualized all of ny classmates. It was in I960 when I saw Virginia Baumgartner walking down the street, she wasn ' t accompanied by M Van l£ierlo, hut by a soldier, Harvev Winde. I seemed to drift into one of the Holly- wood Studios and there was Bud Abbott and Lou Coctello having a Quarrel. Abbott got mad, walked out on Costello, so Andj?_ Zeigler stepped up t o take his place, and v e must say it was the Per fect role for Andy 1 As I went strolling through the studio there was Cxrace Schicke playing opposite Tyrone Power in My Dream Man. ' Also on the set watching was the up and comnig stars Alan Ladd, Gig Young, Vernon Browning and Van Haf- ner. Suddenly there was a great disturbance over head, and the director, Arlyn Witte, shouted Cut. We looked up in amaze- ment and saw the Human Airplane , Bob Nichols , being piloted bv the famous woman avi tress, Irma Krepps. I noticed the_air- piane wa s soaring toward the Blimp , Lorraine Scher rer. irma , having her mind elsewhere collided vd.th the Blimp. As mother related to me the next morning that I sat up in bed and screamed, it must have been when I visualized this happening. I tossed and turned av hilc and then I was at school. I don ' t know how I got there, but there I was. The teacher of the class was Miss Betty Erb, she was vrearing horn-rimmed glasses and her hair was fixed in a hard knot in the back, and who do you think she was teaching, no one but Anna Reiser I It seems as though poor Anna has not yet completed her course. After looking at this amazing event, I turned around, and Lo and Behold I there ms Harold Lewis laying a new sewer Ime. At first, I wasn ' t quite sure v;hether it was Harold, not until he wiped the sv eat from his brow and said Hello l I stopped to talk with him for a while and he informed me that Charles Eamen egger and Charles Berg were running rival businesses in Tn ' i-ht ' s ' . ear and Gloria Bacher was purchasing from both of t.iecx. He also, toTcT ' me tEaT ' Lorraine Pausch had fallen heir to a larfte chain dime store. Hi rold said he had to get back to his digging, so I walked dovm the street and stopped long enough go buy a paper from C larence Gray . I leaned against a post and began reading the sport section. There v £s an ar- ticle which drew my attention. It said that Delores Ungel had broken her arm when trying to catch h ball and had missed it a_s usual. I turned the page tnd came upon the edvortisoment .3ej.lion. There vffis a complete page advertising the great skJter, J L-es (lii££o) H olliday , and a picture of him in one of his j rJ cefui movements. I looked at my watch and sav; it v as noon, so I donided to eat. All oi the restaurants were closed, there ..as but ane.place left tg go, .moi ■g. H EEfJiy inere ■ pmius f r nis fresh horse meso.

Myna Ald - . j|idge-, who- + ■ ' trough her many years of experience ' s aQvise!r fo war situations and her high aocial prominents helped her climb the ladder of success, and that Shirley Moser was the Secretary of Agriculture. It seems Shirley must have had to do some hard studying on farming.. Ju$t then the Chief Justice. of the Su- preme court came walking in, and to my great surprise I found it was no other than Charles Bezdek. I asked Charlie if he would mind accompanying me to the nearest Naval Training Sta- tion. Charlie said that would be glad to join us-, • We were then on our way i a jeep with Marcella Mackey, Lieutenant of the WAVES asE our driver and what a ride we had. ' On the way vie picked up the two WAAC ' S, Elamay Bles t and Charlotte Stolle . They were representing the V AAC ' S and were going to a special demonstra tion, being held at the train- ing station. V hen we arrived , we asked Irma Forshee , the ush- erette, what the program was about. She informed us that the subject wes, Tiow to Keep Fit. As we glanced at the person whowas representing Body Beautiful , we found out it was no other than James Chilton . Then the bugle sounded and up the aisle came Don. Barklage with his troop of Boy Scouts. TOie program lasted about two hours. After that Charlie invited me to go to the Winkleman ' a Night Club, Marcella droveus there in the Jeep and Jean Sutton showed us to our table. We looked at the menu and Darwin Moss took our order. Soon the cigarette girl, who happened to be Eileen Johnson , saw us and stopped to talk. She told us that Jackie roepping and Norma Marty decided to make their home permanently at the Spinning Wheel Skating Rink, as they were now the owners. The band leader, Alfred Geisler , directed his band while Arbutus Willis Dell , the s ng bird of the South, gave forth with one or ner famous warbles of the old South. Next on the program was a quartet composed of Henrietta Johnson , Shirley McLean , June Henne , and Aline Schilling . At the table on the other- side of the club, we sav; Valeria Cocoa and her husband. They seemed to be amused by something over in the corner and we saw LaVerne Guehne trying to steal the show and she seemed to be Soing a good ' job of it, because people were surrounding her on all sides. She was trying to imitate the band leader, as she always had a liking for such things. In another far cor- ner was Bloadell Powell with Robert Schmaltz on one side and Bill Neely on the other. It seems as though she hadn ' t mufLe up her mind. Charlie then went to the check room and got our rrans from the check girls Wanda Scott and Doroth - NeviD.s. . we left Maraella and intended to call a t xi.

The capable chairmen vriio helped ma ' -e thi= affair so great a succesr were: Raymunda Henrichs, Arline Rudolph, Delores Fehlbaum, Joe Winkler, and Irnest Blest. Let it be hooed that succeeding Junior Classes may equal the success of this class in presenting the prom. ,s in years before, the annual Hallowe ' sn party was a roar- inr success. Of themany varieties of costumes, gypsies v ere . ore frecuent. Some of the gypsies were Helen Dauer, ' ■--chober and Billie Jean Black. Delores rioesser came as I-otn- er ' s Little Darling but most of those who attended wore blue jeans and loud plaid shirts. The f ' r = t tern the officers elected were: Tessie Duroso, oresident; BillDel.;8y, vice-president; Audrey Schober, secre- Irry; nnd Jo§ Fischer, treasurer. The Junior Class increased in nunber due to mid-term pro- motions . The following officers were then elected: Joe Fischer, i resident; Jim Hammond, vice-president; Audrey Schooer, se tary; and Lorraine Zimi.icrmann, treasurer. These stucients hdve all proven themselves deserving of their offices on six occa- sions.

Then in 1942 we ccme b£ck to school as Sophomores. Now, considering ourselves men and v.omen, v.e had the pleasure of calling the Freshmen the sane names thst we had been called.

' ood ' Vork, French, Latin, and Mech nical Drawings. There are many Bills, Johns, and Bobs, but each has his w i personality by which he is known. All of the high school students were freshmen once and they know hov. a freshman feels; but still they are looked down upon. The first job that came up for each of us to do wee to deliver about one hundred circulars pertaining to the Amend- ment Mo. One. Although we were called upon to do many tasks it still was a e.reat sensation to be c freshman. At last we have entered high school ana hove started planning for our future. l.I-ny of our classmates will never finish school and to these students we wish them luck and success. They will probably miss the most happy days of their lives by not continuing. OLD FRESKIvIEI The old freshmen class ofK ncock consists ol twenty-six girls. They all participate in all active sports and some have played in the intermurals. The class officers consists of: Class President Kathleen Higerix Vice President Llartha Lee Morgan Class Secretary taurine Kaemmerer Class Treasure Shirley Dischbein Class Reporter Estell Y. ' ille Student Council Bernice Hurt I ' m sure thtt I, the reporter, and the rest cf the fresh- men will do all v.-e can to keep Hancock the successful school that it has been. On January 26, 1943 a new group of Preshmen boys snd girls ai-rived at Ilanoock High Schncl , ' They hed worked a good lorg w:il3 toward this goal and w:re -cally Rnthusiastic about all • .;.£• .-..ov. wcr-ii faey we- e gciiig to do in Senior Hi -n Scliooi. ' The s, ' V3rds given on graduation were won by S hirley Moss and G-eorge Mehler. The class c onducted its own graduating exercises and sone very fine entertainjjient was supclied: janis 3hay gave an interesting talk on the developaents of the class; Shirley IToss was Mistress of Ceremonies and gave the Gettysburg Address; June Banunert sang Make Believe and Theresa Dorner sang ' ' Hose Marie ; Elvira Kornung gavo a piano solo, ' Tales from Tienna V oods ; Roy Gibson gave a speech on Patriotism ; WilliaTi Wil- son introduced the coiacander of American Legion Post 102 who presented the av;ards; George Mehler, the president of the class, closed the exercises with a farewell address. The wide range of talent and interest that _ has_ been ex- hibited among this grouc would indicate that their first se- mester at Senior Hish School has been a very profitable one. The Jr3s have had a volleyball team and a softball team of their own. Several of these S9m.e girls have done outstanding work in music and sewing c?Lasse3. They like dancing and have a ireadv made themselves A place in this activity. The boys too have shown interest and aptitude for both sports and class activities .

In April the Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, and H-Club had a Bull Session , and Pot-Luck supper , The speaker of the evening was Mr. Aina Haack of Washington University . He gave an inspiring talk on some of the problems which young people have to face during the war and after. Considering all the demands upon the tiae of the teachers and pupils we have had a successful year, and hope that the Girl Reserves Club shall grow in the years to come. n NCE CLUB T ' a2 dance club was organized before Xmas of 1942. AT ttijT - -iipe officers were elected and quite a number came out to tnu neetings. Vacations, rationing andotlijr rnterrup- tio.iS delayed progress and man3 ' ' of the old members, including the officers, dropped out. At the beginning of the second s-enester quite a number of new freshmen girls joined and help- ed to boost the membership again. At this time the group voiced the opinion that they preferred not to elect new offi- cers but to continue meeting as an informal group. IT .e girls have worked on ballet , tap, and modern dancing. Representa- tives from the club presented a tap routine at the Senior nlay and all the members had dance parts in the spring program. Although this was not a large nujaber of performances for the club to take part in, the girls enjoyed participating in this- activity a great deal. THE KNITTING CLTJB Because of scarcity of materials the activities of the icnitting Club were limited this year. Mufflers and Beanies were the only articles for which yarn could be obtained. Four Beanies and twelve mufflers were made. Mrs. Winn and Miss Besel were sponsors of the club.. ORCHESTRA In September, 1943 the Hancock High School Orchestra was again organized under the able direction of Miss Baumgartner. Sone of the main events for which we played were Senior play, JuiJ or High Graduation, and The Herald of Time which was given by the music, speech and physical ed.. organizations on April 17, 1943. Everyone is anxiously awaititit to play for the queen ' s Procession at the Prom. Weshallalso take part in tne Junior Higl aid Senior High Graduation Exercis-ea. BAND The Hancock High School band has grown rapidly since it was orgeiiised in 1938. V hen the band was first organized it had only five mem- bers. Ttoday it has 19 members. The band loaes a few members eecn year but there -ire others to t akc their places. Therj are nov; nine new members since last yf-ar. SHE ' S A SOLDIER ' S SVEETHEART On Dee-ember 5, 19 ' 4-2,- the senior class, following tJie cus- tom of preceding years, presented the annual Senior Play. This year ' s production- was a three- act comedy entitled She ' s a Soldier ' s Sweetheart, directed by L ' iss Penn, It was termed es one of the best plays presented by a senior alass. The plot was about an average young man leoving for the army very soon and a young movie actress vcho camti to the snail town where he lived. She was there by the advice of her press agent to give her publicity for e picture she was soon to star ir. She falls in love with the young man and promises to wait for him till he returns from the army. This disru:Dt£ her press agent ' s plans as she was to only pretend to fell In love with him. Complications which ocaur through the play, caused by friends and the grandparents of the young man, make the play very interesting and amusing.

G. B. Vvr H - jh c? y z i ll ' ) -- Z ' - YT MH ' H™ -?S! ona t i3arA.i€U e - HOLIDAY INN Once again the Hancock gym was transformed into something to dream about. At the east end, the Queen ' s trrone vias ar- ranged in front of a very colorful background on which were sketches representing twelve holidays of the year. In fron of thxs there arranr.ed a row of sxatll trees, to the right ;-.aici left of the throne were the places for the attencisnts and their escorts . The High School orchestra was pJ aced in front of the stage surrounded bV a sinail v.hlte fence. To the right was a glitter- ing Qiristaas tree. To the left was a large heart m front ot which was seated the Q,u3en of Hearts , Jackie Thompson. At the west end of the gym was the refreshment stand, a popular place as the evening progressed. Soon after the guests arrived, the Master of Ceremonies (and a very clever one) Bill White, announced that the pro- cession was about to start. The orchestra began playing the March and the Retiring O.ueen, Miss Lotus Higgins, and her es- cort, Mr. Andrew Siegler, marched to their place before the throne. They were followed by the Junior Attendants and their esaorts: Miss Margaret HechtandMr. Charles E3rg; Miss Dorothy Fauth and Mr. Roy Huff; Miss Mary Richardson and Mr. Everett Hecht . Then the moments of suspense really came as the Seni ot I..aids of Honor be. fcn to march to their places. Liss Eettyisrb and her escort, Mr. Donald Barklage, were the first to appear. Betty was very attractive in her white taffeta and marquisette gown trimmed in red. She v.o e a corsage of gardenias. Miss Charlotte Stolle, escorted by Mr. Vincent V inkelmann, was the ne:.:t to take the spotli -ht. Charlotte looked very charming in her pink taffeta with its basque and tiered skirt. She wore a shoulder corsage of pink carnations. The appearance of the next Maid of Honor , Miss Elamay Blest, andher escort Mr. Jariies White, settled the question as to who the Queen was to be. Elamay looked lovely in her all white lace and net dress adorned by a corsage of rod roses. A blare of trumpets annouiiced the Queen of 1943, and the little Page, Miss Janet Dopplich, entered carrying a basket of flower pedals. She was rollowed by the New Queen, Miss Dorothy Nevills. Dorothy looked adorable as she walked to her t,hTone on the arm of her Uana3ome Junior escort, Mr. William DeMay. rier dress wgs of orchid net, and she carried a beeutiful bouquet nf red roses, the Senior class flower, and the gift of the Junior class. -Yrtien she reached the throne she knelt before the Retiring queen, who crowned her queen of 1943 . Then she. and her escort took their places on the throne. After the crowning of the queen, Joe Yiz chm.- , President of the Junior class,- welcomed the faculty, parents,, onasenlors , and Aiitirew Ziegler, Senior President, gave the response. Bill vmite again took charge of affairs and announced the program which was taken over by Father Tine, impersonated by Henry Michael. Father Time announced the Parade of Holidays which were symbolized by songs or dances by JUitiors and Scjaiors. Lincoln ' s Bix-ti.dc.r--Jue Fi uher sang Aorahaci . Valentine ' s Day--a dance by Jackie Thompson and Charles Eerg. St. Patrick ' 3 Da:- - Come Back to Erin, by Virginia Rettig and Retha Patrick.

Ghost Dance by Dolores Ploesser and Mary V etstein.- Thanksgiving — Pilgrims and Indians by Henry Werner,, Dot Middleton, Bill Davis, and Jeanne Byers. Ballet Dance to White Christmas by Delores Fehlbaum and Jean Grate. Happj ' ' New Year was a grand finale. After the progTsm the Master of Ceremonies announced the first dance, a waltz, for the queen and her court, after which everyone could dance. The 19 4.3 Prom came tea successful close for most in at- tendance at twelve o ' clock. But some went elsewhere to con- tinue their celebrating until wee hours in the morning. 1 VCLLHY 3iiLL 1st --- ' :: V. Frsnk, C. Stolle, S. 3:..est, D. Er.F.el, K. Keider D.

He threw out his chest, in all the glory of young manhood and said, I ' d travel. He felt her young warm hand slide into his. W he n the looked up she v©s gone. And in his hand was a street car token. The moon was yellow; The lane was bright; As she turned to me In the Autumn night And every gesture, And every glance Gave a hint That she craved romance. I stammered, stuttered And time went by The moon was yellow And So Was I. Charles Berg v;as dancing with a girl at the Casa L oma.

Y ' hat are you going to do now? she asked, quivering. How should I know he retorted, it ' s your dream. Tim Kempf, after graduating from school and working as a salesmen for a short time, was inducted into the army. An officer asked him if he wanted a commission.
