S E N I O H C L A S S ll if 'Ar if SGNIIDIQS -nr CLASS HISTORY The Class of '43 was the largest class to enter the Hayes County High School.They had an enrollment of thirty-eight, made up of nine- teen girls and nineteen boys. This class was the only class in the history of the school to have two sets of twins graduate in the same class. The twins were Wanda and Wilma Mintling and Leola and Leona Wittwer. Both sets were born and raised on Hayes County farms and through High School they took the same subjects.They were the same age at graduation. Another peculiarity of this class was its repetition of names. They had two names repeated in five groups as the following: Maxine Nitsch and Maxine CampbellgBob Moon and Bob Toroloffg Vernon Kotschwar and Ver- non Christnerg Marilyn Orman and Marilyn Havensg and Richard Fowler and Richard Fuller. When Freshmen they were initiated and of course were laughed at by the rest of the students. Mr. Mason was their sponsor. Leona Wittwer and Bob Moon represented their class in the District Declam- atory Contest in readings. As Sophomores they were right up and coming. Boys and girls alike were in the extra curricular activities of the school. Fay Gangwish was in the Sextette,Curt1s Leffler in the Quartette and both were in the Mixed Octette. Mr. Kerns sponsored them. Juniors, yesl There had been some changes made. This class was now an industrious one.Three of the girls,Arlene Hajek,Dor1s Schnei- der and Wilma Mintling were in the Sextette. Doris sang a solo. The boys were strong in Athletics. A nice 'Dutchn Banquet was put on by them for the Seniors. Their class play 'Mumbo Jumbou was a play long to be remembered. Fay Gangwish was elected from the school to have her name printed on the Scholarship Plaque from the Balfour Company. These Juniors had ideas of their own and just to prove it they made changes in the system and ordered and received their rings while still Juniors. Fourteen of the class took the Normal Training Course and the rest, the business course. Mrs. Green supervised these jolly Juniors. Their class was prominent in Dramatics and four of them, Nadyne Roe, Vyonna Christner, Reed Loomis and Harold Counce were in the one-act play which rated superior at the District Declamatory Contest. Oh, yes, they were a dignified busy bunch of Seniors. Although some of their classmates ha quit schoo , moved away or as Glendola Scott did,get married,they hadn't as large a class as when they were Freshmen, but they could still boast the second largest class to graduate from the Hayes County High thus far. The boys of this class won the Class Basketball Tournament two of the four years and the girls won three of the four years, Vernon Christner, Curtis Leffler, and Jerry Housman all made the Hall conforencen football team.During the four years twenty-four of the class were active in music groups. The class of '45 will be gone, but they will be remembered by their outstanding characteristics and they in turn will remember their beloved Hayes County High School and be grateful for all the opportunities it had given them. 12 ir ir SGNIIIIPS Hi' if lembersz from left to right, first or top row: Dale lcNutt, Eugene Taylor, Don Mc Gillivary, lerle Seed, Robert loKi1lip, Omer Rucker, Hardy Reese, Junior llch,Carl Schuman.

The Freshmen presented an assembly program which consisted of singing, tap dancing and a play. Sixteen Freshmen are members ofthe band. Ten boys were in athletics, all of the girls were in the Physical Education Class. Thirteen members were in some vocal group. These spirited Freshmen planned and enjoyed their class party with the theme revolving around the nValent1ne.n If this class continues as they have been dolng,Hayes County High can well be proud of the class of 1946. 15 if ir SGNIIIIQS 'R ir L Elm 'fu lembersg From left to right, top row: Jhck O'B ien, Reed Loomis, Pluneil Fornofg Vyonna Chrietner, Sheila Counoe, lugene Taylor, Bill 8ullivan,Vernou Christner.

REGULAR BAND The Regular Band has been very active this year. Some new mem- bers have been added which makes the present number twenty-three. The band played at several of the football and basketball games and really popped up the boys. Before the end of the year, plans are being made to combine the two bands into a forty piece band. This will be the largest band that Hayes County High School has ever had. Unfortunately for the band, eleven members will graduate this spring, but there will still remain a nice nucleus upon which to build in the following school year. On February 4,the two bands together gave a short impromptu pro- sram. lst. Cornet.... 2nd, Cornet... lst. Clarinet Clarinet Clarinet 2nd. 3rd, Saxophones... Trombones.... Bass Horn ....

BEGINNERS BAND This year a number of Freshmen and Sophomores were interested in learning to play an instrument.Some of them had instruments, others made their choice with the help of Miss TeSelle. Members of the band were very faithful to do individual practic- ing outside of the practice period at school. This was a big help and they progressed very rapidly. Fauneil Fornoff and Dick Schnei- der were each awarded a music stand for keeping a record of their individual practices the first semester. The band made its first public appearance at the Christmas pro- gram in December. They played two numbers alone and then joined the Regular Band in nMarch Progressn. Plans are to unite the bandslnto a forty piece band before the end of the year. Cornets ..

Wauneta and Palisade also proved too strong for our team this year. They won from Max, Dickens and Wallace. Several hotly contested games were played with the Alumni.
