memenib fm His Royal Majesty of the Memento for 1952 is tall, blond, and popular Herman Holtmeyer, brother of the Queen. He, too, is a junior and entered high school at Hancock after graduating from the St. An- drew elementary school. King Herman, himself a good sport, is fond of all athletic events, especially baseball. He is an ardent television fan, but can often be seen at the Lemay Theatre. The Yearbook staff found him not above do- ing menial labor as he was an efficient Memento worker. His favorite dish is fried chicken and his pet peeve is too much homework. Modes- ty seems to be his most outstanding char- acteristic and chewing gum his trade-mark. After graduation, Herman plans to enter the automotive field. 177617761722 H8817 Mildred Holtmeyer reigns as hostess over the 1952 Memento. Our pretty, blond, quiet, and refined queen is a member of the junior class having come to us as a sophomore. She served as president of her home room last year, and is an active mem- ber of the Y-Teens. Qheen Mildred's favorite sport is bas- ketball and she is an avid follower of the Tigers. She is fond of the outdoors and plans to spend some time perfecting her game of tennis this coming sunnnr. The colorful coronation ceremony took place at the beginning of the senior Leap Year dance. The candidates of the other classes served as attendants. A program was presented for the royal couple and the evening was spent in dancing to Ollie Klosterman's orchestra. She intends to become a secretary. a9Z3L

. . . hall ng The mighty Mississippi, famous in song and story, ever wends its majestic course southward to the sea, seeking there to find the fulfillment of its destiny. Due to its influence, a contented people have formed a thriving conmunity on the Hiver's west bank just below the city of St. Louis. Like the river that never stands still, these energetic people have seen that their schools grew with the expanding ideals and needs of the times. As a result we at Hancock were giv- en last year the highest rating possible for a school in our state to receive, that of AAA. Our earnest prayer is that this our high school may continue to expand its horizons and move tirelessly onward to meet its ideals as does that 0l' Man River on whose banks it stands!
