A sparkling group of fifty-one students entered grade school in September of '43. Because of the size of the class we were divided into two groups. The first Part of the year we were under Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Crowley. Later Mrs. Crowley left and Mrs. Hatfield came. By the end of our first year twelve members of the class had moved and Miss Ischi was honored by having us all in her second grade class. Miss Thomas, our third grade teacher, taught us how to write. In fourth grade, under the able direction of Miss Graves, we first developed our talents in poetry. In fifth grade several of our brave students took to band. Mrs. Ehredt was our teacher, she was proud of our group and had a right to be! In sixth grade Mrs. Harkson took over. We developed our own little band and presented a play for our parents: How Boots Befooled the King. Years seemed to fly—We were already in seventh grade and our teacher was Mrs. Keene. Boy, were we big shots now: Just think, Junior High School! Mrs. Morrison prepared us for High School in the eighth grade. We had a big graduation party. At night too! Twenty- nine of us graduated to old H. H. S. on May 28, '52. All four years in H. H. S. have been full and exciting. Our Freshman and Sophomore advisor was Miss Williams. We made most of our money these years from magazine sales, dances, bake sales, and Sophomore Comedy Hour. We Sponsored a prom our Junior year. The theme was: Indian Love Call. We sold refreshments at games and presented our Junior Class play under the direction of Mr. Book. It was The Big Blow-Up. Mr. Walsh was our Junior class advisor. This year has really been a big year. We have Mrs. Morrison as an advisor. She directed our Senior play Meet Me In St. Louis, which was a big success. The Homecoming Queen for '55 was Carolyn Haug and honorary captain, Martin Murphy, both seniors. The other who has been an attendant was Carolyn McKinley. We have been honored by our great athletes and our cheerleaders, Carolyn McKinley and Carolyn Haug. We've had a lot of fun the past twelve years and are looking forward to our senior trip out East. The class has cooperated wonderfully. We face the future with great anxiety and plans for the years to come. REVO N A H CLASS WILL O're all the ills o' life victorious!

Sally Benson The play takes place in St. Louis when the World’s Fair is about to begin. Mr. Smith learns that he is going to be transferred to New York, and the family will have to move. When his four daughters hear about this they do everything in their power to make Mr. Smith’s boss think he is not worthy of the job so they can stay in St. Louis. Finally Mr. Smith’s boss decides he’s needed more in St. Louis and the family won’t have to move. • Mrs. Smith Rose Esther Agnes Jerry Callahan Tootie Lon Grandpa Leo Hatheway Katie Mrs. Waughop.... Louise Stewart Ida Boothby Special Feature: The Red Devil Hi-Steppers ★ ★ ★ JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Curious Savage After the death of her husband. Mrs. Savage was sent to “The Cloisters,’ a private asylum, because her three step-children did not like what she was doing with their fath- er’s money. Mrs Savage wanted to use it to make people’s wishes come true, while the Savage children were interested only in having all the money themselves. Aid comes to Mrs. Savage in the form of five lunatics who help her keep control of her money and at the same time render it difficult for her to leave the asylum because of her fondness for them. The five lunatics outwit the crafty lawryer and judge who are the Savage children and help Mrs. Savage find the happiness which they have.
