One truth that manifests itself to all, MThe sweet of life doth soon surpass the gall.n One instance when experience proves the rule, The hasty, tender days we spent in school.

BOARD OF EDUCATION Hancock has been fortunate in having a group of capable progressive citizens willing to serve their community when called uponinado so. Our Board of Education is composed of six members elected for a term of three years each. Two members are chosen yearly so that the work of the group will not be interrupted. The Board must of necessity delegate much authority to others, but upon it fallstheresponsibility for the stand: ards of our schools. It represents the community, and for this reason it must keep abreast of modern educational trends and see that the school puts them into practice. Our present Board of Education is interestedin the wela fare and development of our high school as is evidenced by the new addition which is rapidly'moving to completion. We have enjoyed the newly decorated interior of our building this year, and the cafeteria has been popular. To this en: ergetic group we extend our grateful thanks! PATBONS'lALLIANCE Our patrons' organization is an active group whose pura pose is to further the interests of the Hancock Schools. A bigc'thank youu goes toit this year for the new movie screen and projector which is kept in daily use. we are especially grateful for the scholarship of three hundred and fifty dollarsit awards each commencement night to the graduate having the highest fourayear scholastic average. Robert.Benner, now a student,at,Washington Univera sity, was last year's fortunate winner. Another ofitsprojects, which leaves many pleasant meme ories as well as some cases of sunburn, is the allaschool picnic which the group sponsors each spring.

Knowing Ralph's mental depth and his high school reputation for being a walking encyclopedia, I alerted to instant attention. This great sciena List, who had won the acclaim of the world was not to be brushed aside as a madman even though the human nature within me strove frantically to regard as foolish what I so desperatley wished to avoid.

What is to be done?H It was then he affirmed rumblings I had been long hearing, that the promiscuous use of atomic bombs had caused a serious disturbance at the earth's center which was soon to culminate in one terrific, terrifying, shattering explosion. Was there yet time? .Ralph hadhismodel rocketaaa smallship'twas true, but large enough to carry a select few from this wonderful terrible world to begin life anew on the planet, Venus. He had heard of the wealth I had accumulated fromthe sale of my permanent lipstick and begged me to finance the plate ing of the new world. I agreed, and a race with destruction was launched that hour. Who were to be the chosen few? It would be necessary to take people from all walks of life, and above all, they must be a congenial groupaano bitter seeds of intolerence or greed, which could ultimatley blossom into war, were to be planted in this new world of ours.

The occasion was the JunioraSenior Prom. Soft lights, lovely girls with their gallant escorts, and the music of Gene Babbitt's Orchestra turned the hall into a place of enchantement. The high point of the evening, as always, was the proclaiming of a new queen uapreside over the coming event. She was chosen, by the junior and senior classes, from three nominees selected by the seniors. The other two candidates became her senior attendants and the junior class elected four girls to serve her majesty. These attendants with their chosen escorts formed the coronation court. Custom decrees that the junior president be given the honor of.escorting the new queen so one escort relinquished his coveted position that evening to Allen Kroeck. The master of ceremonies, Jerry Bettale, proclaimed that the queen and her court were readylxmenter the ballroom. The lights dimmed, a hush fell on the merryomakers, and the spotlight followed pretty Mary Belle Gray and her escort Don Hinrichsas they moved slowlyto the stage. Mary's dress, white net over a pale lilac slip, was a complement to her blond beauty as was the huge bouquet of flowers she carried. Shirley Polka and Larry Schaefer were the next to be honored. Shirley looked like a little girl, who had just stepped out of a nursery rhyme, in her lovely gown of pink satin with its beautiful white netting overa skirt. Gloria Miller, on the arm of Charles Bacher, looked enchanting in a gown and matching jacket of ice blue satin with an overaskirt of white organdy. The fourth junior attendantwasCarolineParrattendedbylbn Bruggeman. Caroline was radiantly beautiful in her strapless dress with its blue bodice and white net hoopaskirt trimmed with bands of matching blue. A white net stole completed the ensemble. The senior attendants of the queen's court were now to enter. Which would be the honored queen? The secret was closely guarded. It could be blond Dorothy McGraw, who had chosen John Schaefer to escort her to the throne.'She was dressed in a stunning gown of yellow taffeta with white marquisette over it.UCDotW was indeed a star in this wStarlit Havenn. Perhaps,thequemiwasanother blond,ourcharm1ngHelenK1enle, attended by Jerry Ward. Her gown was flattering pink nylon net, trimmed in black lace with matching black lace gloves. It mightlm the lovely Jean Holaus escorted by Bill Maloney, who would sit on the queen's throne. Jean's dress was a beautiful Nile green satin with a thin layer of Nile green net, topped with an overaskirt of white lace which was drapped at various points and held in place with clusters of rhinestones which sparkled like her eyes. The queen's picture on the opposite page has told you the secret. vAfter the crowning ceremony a short program was given in the queenfs honor. This was followed by the stately and graceful coronation court waltz led by the queen and her escort. This gala affair will ever remain a treasured link in our chain of memories. 6601113 4 .1 36.5.3 First Haw: P.. York, C. Sieb, R. Lutz, E. Hill, B. Welker, B. Machino, A. Jasinski, B. Barr, J. Andel.

Built around two returning letterman, as well as several of last year's BH team squad, the Tigers were backed by a good deal of experience. We took part in four tourne amentsg the Bayless Invitational Tournament, the Christmas Tournament at Nora mandy, the annual Ferguson Tournament and the annual Regional Tournament held at Washington University. Hancock failed to place at Bayless or Washington U. and was upset in the Normandy Tburnamentg however a bright spot was the winning of third place in the Ferguson Tourney as we squeezed past Affton. The Tigers improved witheverygameplayed and we defeated some highlyarated teams. We won the South County Championship for the second straight year by defeating Affton and Bayless in key games near the close of the season. Every time the Tigers took the floor the other team was assured of a good battle bee cause the competitive spirit,ofeach team member was high and spirited. Because of this competitive spirit the opposing teams and coaches learned to respect us and gave us an eighth seeding in the Regional Tournament. However a keyedoup Clayton quintet upset us in the final game of the season. At times the Tigers played superb ball and with a few more breakswendght have had a better winning record. x9f7a4'w'c!uaf :Scored Hulsey Sexton Bruggeman liager Eichhorst Schaefer Thomas Eichhorn Virgin Patton Kroeck Cantwell Meine Another tuo pointer 'MD nwasfellgaff 2 3 First Row: Floyd Ploesser, Richard Jourden, Dave Franklin, George Bude, Bill Thrasher, Bob Lutz, Manager. - Second Row: Mr. Hager, Allen Wamser, Jim Schneider, Philip Scherr, Bob Wilhauck, Buddy Hill.

It is beautiful, vibrant, and glowing! It is beautiful with its tall trees, pretty flowers, giantbuildings,recreationalparks, and swimming pools. It is vibrant because of the spirit of the people with their joy of living. It is glowing because the people make it glow with their pride and their ac: complishments,Americais thelaugha ter of the people, the noise of a downtown street, the coming home from school or work and meeting one's family, sitting down at the table and enjoying the companion: ship of each other. To me, America is a democratic governmentgl cannot visualize live ing under any other, Here I can enjoy the highest standard of live ing in the world, here, when I am twentyvone, I can vote for whom I please to govern me. lAmerica to me means protection for my self, my property, and my country. It is respect for private property, justice in the courts, and the sacredness of human life. lAmerica is the theater, the movies, the radio, where we get a thrill in seeing and hearing Cather: ine Cornell,'Alan Ladd, and Bing Crosbyaaa laugh and a tear from Milton Berlea ulMartin Kane. It is the variety we get on the radio, the Liberty Bell, the wonder of Abraham Lincoln and the treasured speeches he left us, the remembering of the birthday of our Savior.

Unless the guilty person is foundnaoher eyes traveled overthe groupaJ'the class may forget about the trip to Washa ington, D. C. this spring.n With these fateful words the irate young history teacher left the room closing the door none too gently behind her. As the impact of the words was grasped, theroom became alive with excited and confused conversation. We wondered who had doneit. Everya onein the room except Dave Roberts could have usedtiueanswers because all made average or below average grades, but Ridgeway High was run on the honor system and things like this just didn't happen here. Paper collections, bake sales, candyandnnagazine salesaahours and hours ofliard work and planning and now, no trip! The person who took the answers would never confess! Miss Cooper reentered the room and a hush fell over the class. Is the guilty person ready to confess his guilt?W Each pupil looked expectantly around and then glanced at the teacher. There was a stir in the back1ofthe room and all eyes turno ed hurriedly to wherea tall, slena der, dark haired boy was rising slowly from the old wooden desk wherelu sat. He walked hestiu ntly to the front of the room with his head bent and his eyes on the floor. uDave Roberts, did you take the test answers from my brief case?n Dave nodded ever so slightly and Miss Cooper motioned for hin1to folf low her from the room. The next day we noticed Dave was missing butwe had expected that bee cause cheating at Ridgeway was a serious thing and the penalty was expulsion. He was a birdH for ever admittingthetheft, but thank goods ness he had because that saved our trip for us. In history class Miss Cooper bee gan the period asusual by returning our homework for correction. As she pulled the exercises from the case, a heavy folded paper fell to the floor. She picked it up hurriedly, turning pale asshe scannedit. Visia bly shaken she faced us. As you probably know, Dave Robe ertswas expelled from Ridgeway High yesterday. If he had not admitted taking the answers, you would not have been able to go on that trip, but he would still be in school. He must really have liked all of you because here is the test I thought had been stolenln QaFay Thrasher Class of 52 6AlAZl5 0 Zze SEPTEMBE We greet old and new friends. -Lost freshmen find themselves. -Locker combinations common knowledge. -Baseball season opens- - Affton here. -The Bloomer Girl volleyball team is at it again. -We learn Who' s Who on the MEMENTO Staff. buckets everywhere . .
