The first game was with Butler. Although Butler has beat Holden the first two years of football, our strong and pow- erful squad overcame their victories by defeat- ing them 18-0. In the first four games we held our opponents. scoreless. We defeated every team by a good margin except Richmond whom we defeated by 1 point. Our last game of the sea- son came with our old rivals, the Warrensburg Tigers. The weather was very disagreeable for the game, but in spite of the weather, the Eagles came back with another victory. They had no trouble winning this one. They scored a touch- down each quarter making only one of their ex- tra points. The game ended with Holden 25 to Warrensburg 0. We thought we had a good chance for a bowl game somewhere, but we were not selected, this ended our football season. The only injury of the year was an arm injury which J. O. Markland received at the first of the season, however he was able to play in the last game of the season. The seniors of the 1948-49 squad were: Charles Huber, Floyd Kendrick, Fred Hanna, J. C. Towles, Jack Jones, Gene Car- ter, Lloyd West, Glenn Timmons, Charles Dean, Bob Hart, J. O. Markland. Holden won 9 games and lost none, this making them eligible for the West Central Con- ference title. The Eagles scored 243 points to their opponents 37. Holden's basketball season started out with 25 boys out-. Without much practice they ven- tured to Marshall to the Missouri Valley Tour- nament, where they played Malta Bend, and it was an easy game. So was Brunswick. The next afternoon the Eagles played Moberly and won by 3 points, and that night with Sweet Springs for first place, the Eagles winning by 5 points. Holden had little trouble with the games up to the Pleasant Hill Tournament. The Eagles got by the first three games and played Lee's Summit for first place, losing by 6 points. This ended Holden's undefeated record. By this time the Eagles were leading the conference with no defeats. Then the big night came when the Warrensburg Tigers and the Holden Eagles met at Holden for the last con- ference game. The Eagles had defeated the Tigers before by 5 points, but when the time ran out, the Tigers had won by a 6-point difference. -2-..1.f. . ..... -Y.. This made a three way tie for the championship of the conferenceg Warrensburg, Clinton, and Holden with one defeat each. Holden entered the Sub-Regional with a 23-2 record. The Eagles were seeded first. They won all four games, playing Lexington for the championship and won by 10 points. This victory qualified Holden for the Re- gional and with a 27-2 record, the Eagles were again seeded first. They played Tipton the first night and were defeated by 8 points. This was a heart-breaker and ended the Eagle season with a 27-3 record, which is very good. . The following boys make up the team: Sfophomores: Wayne Carter, Russell French. Jun- iors: Ed Clements, Franklin Gudde, Wendell Daniel, James Daldrup. Seniors: J. O. Mark- land, Dee Peerson, 'Fred Hanna, Charles Huber. The first track meet of this season was a seven way meet, including Adrian, Butler, War- rensburg, Eldorado Springs, Clinton, Rich Hill, and Holden. This was an all day meet at Rich Hill. Adrian won with 3495 points, Holden took second with 331453 and Butler, third with 30 points. b On April 20 the Eagles went to Warrrens- burg for the conference meet. This was a very important occasion for the Eagles -had won the conference championship in f-ootball and had a three way tie for championship in basketball, therefore they went out to get the champion- ship in track. The Eagles tried 'hard for it, but just could not do it. Warrensburg took first place and Holden second. Holden broke two conference records-the discus and high hurdle. The' next meet was also very important be- cause it determined who qualified to go to the state track meet. There were sixteen schools in the class C group. Out of these sixteen sc-hools the Eagles took third, with Center taking second and Ruskin taking first. The Eagles took one first in high jump, however they took several seconds and thirds. Four boys from our school qualified for -State-Fred Hanna, Dwight Peerson, Bob Hart, and Jack Jones. The Eagles had nine track letter men dur- ing the year 1949. The seniors on the squad are: Charles Huber, J. O. Markland, Jr., Fred Hanna, Bob Hart, Kenneth Carter, Jack Jones, Robert French, Floyd Kendrick, and Dwight Peerson. -nm. f ,.,. ,.

Music Our music department has been very for- tunate in having two very capable teachers this year. Mrs. Bullard was in charge of choral music an-d Mr. Malambri of instrumental. The band made its first appearance of the year at the Vest Long farm for a farm demon- stration on September. They appeared at the Pleasant Hill and Holden Street fairs and at the home basketball and football games. They also journeyed to Eldorado Springs and Warrensburg for the football games there. On March 19, they took part in the West Central Conference Music Festival at Warrensburg. Here the band received a rating of II. ' On April 8, the band entered in the District Music Contest at Warrensburg. Here they re- ceived a rating of II. Other ratings were: Saxo- phone Quartet III, Clarinet Quartet I, Marimba Solo IIg Clarinet Solo II, Saxophone Solo III, Mary Alice Thompson piano solo III, and Betty Riddle piano solo IV. The chorus this year had an enrollment of 62 girls and 14 boys. These classes met sep- arately and did not present their numbers to- gether. On December 19 the girls chorus pre- sented a vesper hour Silent Night at the Pres- byterian Church. On March 19 they entered the West Central Conference Music Festival which was in Warrensburg.

This was the first high school operetta present- ed for several years. On April 30 the clarinet quartet and girls sextet both of which received a rating of I at district, entered the State Contest at Columbia. Both received a rating of II at this contest. The Grade School Operetta Christmas With the Old Woman In the Shoe was present- ed on December 21 in the High School auditor- ium. It was very cute and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Many small groups from both the band and chorus have made numerous public appearances throughout the year. These have always been well received and appreciated by all who heard them. To us the music department is a very neces- sary department in our schooll. It is appreciat- ed by everyone and shall continue to be one of the most cultural coures offered.

The action takes place in the Elite Tea Room, affectionately known as the Poison Pot, located just off the campus of Ivy Gates College. The time is spring, shortly before the Junior Prom. Toasty, who is the proprietor, spends most of her time trying to keep her customers as well as herself out of trouble. She is assisted in her tea room by Connie Ashton, a girl working her way through college and Tommie. In the opening scene, Joe is lamenting his restric- tion and Pinky is racking his brain to find a way to pay for the orchestra for the Junior Prom. Oggy arrives with a check for 8200.00 which he has receiv- ed for submitting himself as a guinea pig in a hiber- nation experiment in which he is to take a sleeping pill and then be frozen in ice for six weeks. Pinky talks Oggy eout of the check and inveigles Toasty to help them dress Joe as a girl so he can go to the prom as Oggy's date. Joe's disguise is so clever that Shirley Bradford, Pinky's girl friend, does not recognize him and be- lieves he is a new girl. To get even with Piinky she tells him their date for the prom is off as she is ex- pecting a Harvard man for her escort, although she really does not know one. Sugar Lou Jackson, Joe's girl friend, is at loss to understand Joe's neglect and decides she also will get another date for the prom. Oggy accidentally spills the sleeping pills into the syrup at the fountain and when all the customers who leave the place fall asleep on the sidewalk and lawn, Dr. Pillsy and Mrs. Ross investigate. The Board of Health suspends the license of the Poison Pot. Oggy decides he just cannot go through with the experiment and when Cliff Hayward, who is real- ly the leader for the prom orchestra, arrives, he is kidnapped to carry on the work. His identity is dis- covered after he is frozen stiff. His dramatic rescue in time to play for the prom adds to the merriment. When Dr. Pillsy and Miss Ross visit the Poison Pot in an atte-mpt to clear up some of the mysterious ac- tions at school Dr. Pillsy meets Mrs. Bates, who is at once impressed and offers to advance funds for new dormatories and improvements at Ivy Gates. Dr. Pillsy is so carried away with the idea that he lifts all restrictions and all ends well with Joe taking Monica to the prom and Pinky escorting Connie.

Peters were guests of the jun- ior class and their sponsor, Mrs. Albert Nichols, Thursday evening, May 5. The Auditorium was artistically decorated in blue, representing the sky, and silver, representing the stars. ln the center of the sky was the large star and the theme, Stardust, was written in the West- ern part of the sky. Along the south side was an old fashioned water wheel which revolved and the water running over it went into a large tank where the fish lived. Trees and rocks arranged around COTI1- pleted the scene. The moon shown in the southwest part of the sky and the big clipper could be seen in the northern sky. The tables were beautifully decorated with a cen- ter piece of snap dragons and roses. The individual nut cups were silver wagons with blue wheels and were hitched to a star which served as place cards. The programs and napkins were blue and white with Stardust written on them. The junior mothers prepared the food. The sophomore girls served as waitresses. The menu con- sisted of grapefruit and orange fruit juice, ham, escal- loped pota.toes, green beans, hot rolls and butter, vegetable salad, celery, olives, jelly, brick ice cream, angel food cake, coffee, mints, and nuts. The program with YVendell Daniel as toastmaster was as follows: Toastmaster, Wendell Daniel, Invocation, Miss Bessie Sprinkelg Starbeams, Franklin Guddeg The Milky Way, Glenn Timmonsg Solo--Vfishing on a Star, Light, Agnes Ann J. O. Marklandg Evelyn Garrisong To the Guiding Raberg The Guiding Light, Supt.

Peters. I Mr. Frank Malambri with Beverly Harper as ac- companist, directed group singing. Following the singing of Blue-NVhite, directed by Margaret Bullard, there was a short intermission in which the floor was cleared for dancing. Music was .furnished by Bob Cumming's Orchestra. Every- one enjoyed a very pleasant evening at the very suc- cessful Junior-Senior Banquet. ' . I Il 'o Pla The junior class of 1949 presented the football comedy, Two4Minutes to Go, on Friday night, No- vember 12 in the Holden High School auditorium. For three years Holton High School's football team has not lost a game. But the coach has been dismissed because the ones in ,power do not like his methods. Walter Spike Reagan with his young bride, Sandra, take over the new job. Superintendent XVilson calls on the young couple and pledges his full support of an athletic program that will give all a chance rather than a chosen few. As might be expected, certain of the seniors on the team, especially VVhiz Barton, Hippo Reynolds, and Russ Martin, have the feeling that they are indis- pensable. They take the training rules far too light- ly. They don't like it because Spike makes frequent substitutions in order to give the Whole squada chance to play. Eventually Holton loses a game, and the whole town is in an uproar over it. NVhiz and his friends threaten to quit the team. Spike holds firm against all the threats and criticism, and continues to build up a strong team of second-stringers. l Of all the substitutes, Rudy Bain is the most con- scientious and the most eager to make good. Not prominent socially and poor, he has never had a chance like other students. Sandra aids him in Eng- lish composition, and Spike tries to snap Rudy out of his self-consciousness. Terry Druggins, a five-year student, is capable of much better work in school, and likewise capable of better performance on the gridiron. It is Spike's influence on these two un- promising students that adds much to the perform- ance. , And so it is that Rudy, after untold hours of practice, is enabled to win the game that gives Hol- ton another championship--with a drop-kick. Terry is redeemed from mediocrity and set on a new path. Spike's theories about athletics are vindicated, and assistant coach Birchard-inclined to resent Spike's methods-is won over.

Short Write- Ups Senior Class Day The Holden High School Seniors journey- ed by bus to Warrensburg April 26, 1949, for Senior Day. Seniors from approximately fifty schools were welcomed by the Central Missouri State College faculty and student body. . The 'outstanding events of the day in- cluded an opening welcome by Dr. Knox and an address on The American Dream by President George W. Diemer. Career con- ferences were held in various departments on a number of different vocations. Each per- son chose the conference he wished to attend. Lunch was served in Hendricks Hall because of the weather. After lunch all enjoyed -an entertainment given by the -College Dance Band under the supervision of ,Miss Helen Gilbert. The Seniors of Holden High School enjoy- ed the day and learned much about college life. Senior Class Honor Roll The senior class honor roll is made up of students 'whose average for their entire four years of work is 90 or above. Out of a class of forty-six thirteen made the honor roll. They are as follows: Clarabelle Courtney .,... ...... 9 5.42 Dana Rae Hough ...,.. ...... 9 4.81 Marilyn Dillon ............ ...... 9 4.77 Myrtle Jane Early ...... ....... 9 4.5 Lloyd West ................ ....... 9 3.93 Beverly Hobbs ...... ...... 9 3.3 Loretta Gudde ..... ...... 9 2.21 Doris Hill ........... ...... 9 2.05 Mary Ramsey ........... .. .... 91.4 Janice Buckstead ............................ 91.03 Mary Alice Br-own .......................... 90.37 Honorable Mention Ruth Joyce Dameron .................... 92.09 Class Gift The senior class always presents a gift to the school. In the past years many different kinds of gifts have been given-desks, trophy cases, fountains, and others. Last year the seniors left a sum of money for the school board to decide on how it could be used to the best advantage. For several years we have been noticing that our stage in the auditorium needed a new curtain. A new curtain of good quality runs into quite a sum, which no class alone could pay. ,So the seniors of this year de- cided to start a curtain fund with a certain sum of money. It may be several years be- fore this fund is large enough to pay for a curtain but we felt that it would be a very worthwhile thing. Perhaps other senior classes -or organizations will contribute to the fund and we can get our new curtain before too long. Eagle Ball Jeanne Briscoe was crowned queen Tuesday evening, May 10 when the Eagle St-aff enter- tained the faculty, members of the board of education and their wives and the students of the four upper classes with a formal ball. The auditorium was decorated with blue crepe paper and silver stars. The queen's throne was covered with white crepe paper surrounded by flowers and blue streamers. The' ball beg-an with a grand march led by Margaret G. Bullard. After the candidates, Jeanne Briscoe, Marilyn Dillon, Betty Briscoe and their escorts had advanced to the foot of the throne, Glenn Timmons president of the senior class read the letter from Bing Crosby, who selected the Eagle Queen for 1949 and crowned Miss Bris- coe with a. crown of ga-rdenia surrounded- by blue and white carnations which was given with compliments of Canaday and R-opp Fu- neral Home. The remainder -of the evening was spent dancing. Refreshments of punch, cake and nuts were served. Plessner Award The Plessner Award is an award of good citizenship given each year to one of the graduating seniors. The winner of the Ples- sner Award is presented with a check of S50.00. This person is selected by a secret method. Mr. Markland presented the award for the school year of 1948 and '49 to Marilyn Dillon, the outstanding senior.

H igh School Band Speeches Our Vision of Success Clarabelle Courtney, Valedictorian ' Success in life is no more than the final achievement of a certain goal. Our goal is to strive to conquer the unconquerable. All those who have a vision to obtain a kind of success in life strive to reach this goal. Thus far we have been guided by our parents and teachers. Now we, as high school graduates, are going to strive to conquer some particular field of occupation. VVe are thrilled with the joy of knowing that we are completing the secondary course of school training. VVe are ready to step forward into a new life and take our places where duty calls us. Some of us will further our educa- tion and study before engaging in our life work, but it is up to us as individuals to decide what that work will be. We must prepare ourselves to carry out our desires and plans for the future. Each one of us has down deep inside a secret self where we keep a vision of the kind of man or wom- an Vwe hope to be. If we are to achieve a worth- while quality of living, we must put forth an hon- est effort of service and devotion. Each one of us must develop his individual talents before he can achieve success and contribute to the future world. VVe have expectations of accomplishing many worthwhile things no matter what occupation we may choose. Tomorrow is the stern reality facing each and every youth today. Our world is constantly grow- ing so we need to develop ourselves socially. VVith the advance in 'speed we must be able to get along with our fellowmen, not only in this nation, but also in the world as well. Our expanding com- munities are a challenge for us to strive to be co- operative and friendly with all people, regardless of race, creed, or color. Society needs the kind of young people who possess a willingness to go forth and do their best. We are grateful for the opportunities which we have already had and for the ones laid before us. Especially are we happy to live in a free country and have the privilege of making a suc- cess in life because of our education. We also realize the necessity of religion in our lives. It was not meant for all of us to become famous, but we are remembering that often the little things can become some of the largest contributions if we put our whole heart into them and let God be our guide. If our visions are longsighted enough, our future may be focused directly to our sight. We, the seniors of 1949, are striving to conquer the unconquerable with our vision of success in occupation, in society, and in religion. And so, as we bid each other and Holden High School farewell, we would not forget to express our sincere thanks to our parents, teachers, and friends for their guidance in this part of our edu- cational program. We realize that the end of our high school life is only a stepping stone to a new career which we shall make ourselves in a new environment. As a parting thought. I should like to leave with you this quotation, entitled, XVhy They NVere Successful. Because they were cheerful when it was dif- ficult to be cheerful, and patient when it was dif- ficult to be patient, and because they pushed on when they wanted to be still, and kept silent when they wanted to talk and were agreeable when they wanted to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quite simple and always will bel - - -Anonymous Schoolclay's Welcome By Dana Rae Hough, Salutatorian Friends, parents, and faculty, we wish to ex- tend to you a hearty welcome on this, our last schoolday. Tonight will be a reflection of the knowledge that we have absorbed during our past twelve years of training. We Wish to thank you for the interest that you have shown in making it possible for us to receive this training which will be so necessary in our future life. Tomorrow we shall begin our performance in the great drama of life. We shall be actors, each playing his part to the best of his ability. This new adventure will be one which we have never before encountered. As we meet our responsibili- ties We shall experience the various degrees of joy and sorrow. It will be necessary for us to increase the speed at which we are now living if we are going to find our places in the world. We will not all be leaders but all of us must determine whether or not we are making the world a better place for ourselves and the youth which will follow us. To gain these objectives we must truly live up to our motto: Strive to conquer the unconquer- able. We must set our goals high and keep our ideals on a high basis if we are to attain the height of the goals. It is you, our friends, who will aid us greatly in our new adventure. We are leav- ing our schooldays but we are not leaving you and we trust that you will not leave us. We will al- ways be turning to you for your kind advice or following the examples of living which you place before us. In this way you will be helping us to reach our goal in life. WVe must look to God to help us find the po- sition in our life to which we may best apply our ability. He is truly our greatest leader but one which we are prone to forget. His helping hand is large and strong and he will extend it to us if we will only lift up our faces and ask for aid. Again we, the senior class of 1949, bid you wel-- come. W'e hope you will so enjoy the remainder of our schoolday that you will never feel that the interests you have placed in us have been in vain. Presiclent's Farewell By Glenn Timmons Faculty, friends, and paren-ts, I should like to thank you for your interest shown in coming here tonight. To us this is a great occasion as we have worked twelve long and hard years to attain this goal--graduation. To do so there had to be help and cooperation lent to us from all sides. 'VVe seniors may not have shown our appreciation for your help in actions or expressed ourselves in words, but we value your help given to us more than actions or words can indicate. May I speak for the entire class when I say thank you from the depth of our hearts. Seniors, it has been a privilege to serve as the president of the Class of 1949. May I wish for you, happiness and success as you strive to conquer the unconquerablef' '- ir '-1 ' -1 i - N .-...........,.....,,..-.........,-....,.a..,. ., -V4---.,.-.,,.--A ,,,..,,,-I-,vw-.u ,-A Who's Who MARSHALL AREL Member F.

' evsqs:-' -'-41 '-1-4 ur 1: :A Class History Twelve years ago we started to climb that long road known as education. The road has not always been smoothg at times it has been rough, steep, and almost impassable. As I think back, I remember when we started our education under the tutorship of Miss Josephine Long. Ten of us, Charles Huber, J. O. Markland, Rodney Simmer- mon, Lloyd Vfest, Joan W'illiams, Janice Buck- stead, Gene Carter, Ruby Jean Fitzgerel, Bob Hart, and Jean Sappington took that step with Miss Long's help. The next year we were really getting into the being of things. XVith the help of Miss Marie Scheer we broadened our education in bigger and more difficult subjects. WVe now had the 'pleasure of knowing that we were not the smallest ones in school any longer. John Hank Dean and Norma Bradbury joined us this year. Our third year we came back under the direc- tion of Miss Crystal Davidson. No new pupils joined our group this year. VVe were having hard- er courses now, but by hard study we mastered them. , Fred Hanna joined our class the fourth year. Miss Hazelwood Ridenhour guided us safely through this year with no noticeable mishaps. As we came back to school the fifth year, we felt that we were far up the road that we had set out on five years before. We welcomed three new students into our midst-Mary Alice Brown, Doris Hancock, and Dana Rae Hough. Miss Meta An- derson guided us through this part of our climb. We were now at the height of our glory for we were entering the sixth grade. NVe were all anticipating graduation and the promotion into the high school building. Along with this went the ex- citement which goes with trying to figure out who would win the honors. Miss Josephine I-Iebel led us up this part of our journey. Three pupils were added to our ranks. They were Clarabelle Court- ney, Joan Jeans, and Janette Baker. - Our seventh year we were in high school or rather in the high school building: we found out that there is a difference. VVe now had to start climbing on the second lap of our journey. VVe were lost for a While until we found where each of our classes was held and who our teachers were. Our sponsor, Miss Betty Miller, did much to guide us over the rough spots. No new students joined us this year. Our eighth year was not such a tiresome one to us for we were beginning to catch on to the tricks of the game. Among other things we learn- ed not to run down the halls when a teacher was looking. This year our sponsor was Mrs. Margaret Bullard. Mary Ann Miller, Lucian Snider, Betty Briscoe, and Beverly Hobbs joined us this year. As freshmen everyone referred to us as being green, but we felt that we were getting along well and were anything but green. YVe had all dread- ed initiation, but we found that it was not nearly so bad as everyone would lead us to believe. Nine- teen students joined us this year. They were Jack Jones, Bill O'Brien, Mary Ramsey, Lowell Smith, YValter Snook, Glenn Timmons, Shirley VVarren, Marshall Abel, Jeanne Briscoe, June Briscoe, Ken- neth Carter, Charles Dean, Jane Early, Robert French, Ernest Gudde, Loretta Gudde, Doris Hill, and Marilyn Dillon. Our sponsor was Mr. Webster Brown. The .following year we became sophomores and had the extra pleasure of helping to initiate the freshmen. VVe had Miss Ada Keith as our sponsor this year and one student, J. C. Towles, joined us. We were now juniors and had as our leader Miss Dorothy Berry. We presented a very suc- cessful play, I-Iere Comes Charlie, under the di- rection of Miss 'Bessie Sprinkel. We were joined this year by Ruth Joyce Dameron and Floyd Ken- drick. The latter part of the year we entertained the Seniors, School Board, and faculty at the an- nual Junior-Senior Banquet. Seniors, and the top of the second hill has al- most been reached. We felt very lucky to have Mrs. Bullard as our sponsor once more. 'Ne wel- comed into our class two more students: Edward Allen and Dwight Peerson. We presented the an- nual senior play on April 28. The title was Love Is Too Much Trouble. It wa.s counted a huge success. On April 26 we were entertained by a Senior Day program at C.M.S.C. in VVarrensburg. On May 5 we were entertained by the juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. The auditorium was beautifully decorated and an orchestra from C.M.S.C. added much to the success of this eve- ning. May 10 was our Eagle Ball, at which time the Queen, chosen by Bing Crosby, was crowned. VVe were now looking forward to commencement exercises with anticipation, realizing that this lap of our journey was also coming to an end. ' We would like to extend a hearty thanks to our parents, teachers, school board, and friends who have given us assistance and made the jour- ney up this road possible. We must now start out on that new road of life and, we hope, success. Again we would like to thank all of you for mak- ing our school years the happiest and best spent years of our lives. By L. VVest . Y 2-iz-'-f Class Prophecy As our high school days draw to a close, we remember all the days and years we, as a. class. have spent together. The other day as I sat thinking about the past, it suddenly came to me that we should all be thinking about the future. I wondered where all my classmates would be in ten years from now. lt wasn't at all hard to vision the success that each would attain. Here are some of the things I could vision. Mary Alice Brown now runs the Flash Taxi Service in Holden. Her motto is We get you there on time-but we don't guarantee in what condition or how long before time. Glenn Timmons is a special investigator with the F.B.1. He has solved many so-called perfect crimes. Doris Hill has an excellent job advertising for Pepsodent. She has that smile that sparkles. Allen's Alley is where. the gang gathers. This place where the elite meet is owned and operated by none other than Eddie Allen. Janette Raker is now the head bookkeeper for the Park Produce Co. Beverly Hobbs has reached the heighth of her ambition. She is Chief of Staff in one of our coun- tries' largest hospitals. On a windy day Charles Huber can usually be seen on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. The rest of his time is spent training Cheeta, the pet monkey, for Tarzan pictures. Dana Rae Hough is considered one of the most successful housewives in this community. Her lovely home is the envy of all her friends. Jack Jones is living up to the name, Jack- of-all-trades. ' Betty Briscoe is content to just wander about listning to the bird's songs. I'm sure you have all heard of the R.K.O. Studios. They are owned by Mary Ramsey, Floyd Kendrick, and Bill O'Brien. Their latest star dis- covery is Jeanne Briscoe, who has a dance spec- ialty all her own. Gene Carter has become a politician. He is campaign manager for the Plutocrat Party. This party is campaigning for the Big Stare. Loretta Gudde is fashion editor for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. She features her own origi- nal designs. Ernest Gudde wanted a job with altitude. He is a window washer at the Empire State Building. Jean Sappington, at her age, is still interested in dolls. She hopes to have a whole doll family some day. Does your radio announcer sound different lately? If so, you have probably been hearing the smooth, mellow voice of Lowell Smith. Shirley Vifarren works for an advertising agency. She represents the short girl in hosiery advertisements. J. O. Markland's milk route has been greatly extended and increased. lt now covers all of Johnson County. Ruby Jean Fitzgerel is the head of a company which makes exclusive hand-painted neckties. She has even painted some for the president of this country. Lloyd XVest didn't let his acting talent die. He is working for Paramount in a new 'picture called The Trials of Lloyd. Ruth Joyce Dameron is Dean of Women at Vassar. She enjoys her work a great deal, The Snider tractor is the best tractor now on the market. This tractor company was originated by Lucian Snider. New York has its first woman governor. It is Joan VVilliams. I hear that she and the ex- governor had quite a political battle. Clarabelle Courtney is a commerce teacher in a high school in the East. She is very well liked by all the students. The large-st kennels for the breeding and train- ing of greyhounds in this part of the country is under the managament of Kenneth Carter. Doris Hancock is selling tickets at Lowe's Midland in Kansas City. She is greatly missed at the Holden Theatre. Arthur Murray Studios has a new dance in- structor. 'l hat's right, J. C. Towles. June Briscoe is an elevator operator in the Muelebach Hotel. She likes this position although it does have its ups and downs. Holden has a new Ford-Mercury garage. John Hank Dean is the owner. His very efficient sec- retary is Norma Bradbury. The Daredevil Driver, Rodney Sinimermon, is now touring the country. People in Holden used to see his performances free. Joan Jeans is the latest discovery of the VVowers Model Agency. Her picture can be seen on nearly any magazine cover. Chic Young no longer draws the Blondie and Dagwood comic strip. Robert Hart has that job. . The Early Optical Company serves people throughout the country. Myrtle Jane Early has her head office in Denver. Marshall Abel's winning ways have done much to improve this country's foreign relations. I-le is the foreign minister to Russia. One of the best professional girls' basketball teams in the Middle VVest is the Hot Shots. Jan- ice Buckstead is Captain of this team. WValter Snook is chauffeur for a famous Holly- wood producer. He always did want to drive a big car day after day. Charles Dean, otherwise known as the second Dizzy Dean is pitching for the St. Louis Cardi- nals this season. We all remember Mary Ann Miller as that snappy snare drummer. The marching band she's playing with now has captured many national honors. Dwight Peerson appeared with his motorcycle in the races at the State Fair this year. Notre Dame is very proud of its new halfback. This is Fred Hanna. Robert French is head of the Agricultural Department at Kansas State College. He is also the owner of several large sheep ranches. Now that you each know what you are to do, all you must do is to climb to your success. Good luck to you, class of '-19.
