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. Ry Marilyn Dillon 'uf-' l I I r
