4.-....-- .... Ut.. guyz. W--...........--.........,. Senior Activities Class Prophecy By Donna, Kay Billingsley Tonight our theme is This Is Your Life, You know the past and I am concerned with the fu- ture. Let us go into the year 1975. I am seeing visions. Let me tell you what I see: I hear a voice raised and it sounds familiar. Mr. Hirni! Oh, yes. It's that Sandra Jones Dean's child skipping school again. Sandra is a promi- nent farmer's wife still iving near Holden, Missouri. There sails the distinguished sea captain, Donnie Hensley. His ship is atomic powered, de- signed and built under the direction of Harry Kanaday, the famous architect. Donnie is sailing to Seal Island where Lyle Quick, head of the world's largest fur company, and his wife, Landa Manfotrd, have established residence. Landa always wanted a genuine seal skin coat. A sign post says ten miles to the Hereford Ranch. Yes, it's Kenneth Raker, the owner of the Dot Dot Dash Dude Ranch. There is his business manager, Bland Gordon, signing a check for the evening's entertainment, the hillbilly star, Gary Garrett. There goes Wanda Snare, now YVanda Kep- hart, on her way to an appointment. She is a- famous model on 5th Avenue. She's made the cover of Life magazine. I noticed a column in all leading papers called Advice to the Love-Lorn. Who could be the author but Jimmie DIXon. A sale is starting, listen to the auctioneer. It's Leland Stowell auctioning off an oil well. The top bid goes to Ora Stumpff, a top Texan wild-catter, worth millons. Famous Daredevil racing -here tonight. It's Lloyd Warner whizzing around the tracks. Charles Hall is his efficient manager and trainer. Dale William's is New York's most famous barber. He originated the new fad called the Zombie Clip. He is now shaving the honorable Boxing Promoter of Madison Square Garden, Joe Cantrell. Here I seefa. railroad track and someone walk- ing. Yes, it's Dale Bedsaul, King of the Hoboes. Along with him is his apt pupil, Wayne Powell, who is learning the tricks of the trade from the master hobo. Now to California where I find the Ditton sea- side, resort, operated of course, by LeRoy Ditton. But it is his efficient wife, Wanda Shippy, who really keeps things going while LeRoy sunbathes. I see Cecil Long, still braggingg he has just originated the spit Z formation in football. Cecil is head coach at Missouri University. At Harvard, I find the famous chemist, Kay Lewis. He has made many stupendous discoveries. 1-lis latest is that milk is heavier than cream. Here I see Jim Truex ,a top-notch pharacist. He handles all prescriptions for Bettie Bell, the head nurse of a nearby child.ren's hospital. Here is Joan Cox, the former Joan Bronson, still hoarding money for a down-payment on that new house in Independence, Missouri. There is a matinee in bright lights reading: Ina, Mae Young Show Tonight. Yes, Ina Mae has taken over Martha Raye's title as America's top female comedian. I-ler guest star is none other than Crooner Crawford. We all remember Calvin's mellow tones. Besides being a housewife, Nancy Dunn Gos- roski, helps her husband manage a grocery store. They have just redecorated their store, which is Chicago's most prosperous grocery. Gail Hosmann is owner of the Utah Rough Rider's Rodeo, which is the largest traveling ro- deo in the United States. A plane, piloted by Walter Wiseman, goes flying to Hawaii. Walter is the Trans-VVorld Air Lines most trusted pilot. On landing he is wel- comed by his jovial host, Bob DesCombes, who owns a large pineapple plantation there. It is a scenic tourist attraction. Now to Chicago where I find Judge Richard Petering presiding while police sergeant, Gene Hyatt, brings forward his prisoner. These honor- able menl are two of Chicago's main law protectors. I see Charles Parker, nail manufacturer mil- lionaire, buying a suit of clothes at one of the Richard Moree's Men's Wear Chain Stores. His stores carry only the latest in fashion and style. Addie May Skaggs, minister of television fame, is now equal to Norman Vincent Peale and Bishop Sheen. She is one of the nation's best known ministers. Carolyn Morrow has been named secretary of the year by a national press poll. She is secretary to Walace Fitzgerel, a San Francisca banker, who specializes in mortgages. Lowell Rector now edits the Kansas City Star. Lowell is famous for his smashing headlines. His crime repolrter is a woman who has had many daring escapes in the line of duty, Reva Geary. g Although Katherine Truninger works as a secretary. she also models part time for Colgate Toothpaste advertisements. Her winning smile has made all time records in toothpaste sales. One more vision now, I see a famous psychi- atrist who has just analyzed herself. It is Donna Kay Billingsley. My that was fun. In 1975 you can look around you to see how good my vision really is.

.,.........---.............. Ulla Eagle -..-...---,.-......... Senior Activities Eagle Ball The Faculty, the Board of Education and members of Holden High School were guests of the Eagle Staff at the Eagle Ball May 10, 1955. The Queen candidates, Katherine Truninger, Wanda Snare and Sandra Jones, were escorted by Jimmie Dixon. Cecil Long and Vlfallace Fitzgerel to the foot of the green and silver throne. Landa Lea Manford, Editor-in-Chief of the Eagle, read a letter from Mr. W. J. Westmore. make-up artist for Paramount Pictures Incorporation, Hollywood, California, saying that his selection for Eagle Queen was marked, Mr, Westmore's Choice, on the back of her picture. After opening the pic- tures Miss Manford announced that Mr. West- more had selected Miss Truninger as the Eagle Queen. Miss Truninger ascended the throne and Miss Manford then placed a beautiful crown of carna- tions and roses on her head. The crown was a gift of the Cast Funeral Home. Miss Truninger and her attendants and their escorts led the first dance of the evening. The class colors, Mint Green and Silver, were carried out in the beautiful decorations of the au- ditorium. The class flower, a rose was carried out in the refreshments, of individual cakes iced with green icing and topped with a rose. The cakes were a gift of the Cast Bakery. The evening was spent in dancing and the Eagle Ball of 1955 was a delightful affair for all. This Is Our Life by, Sandra Jones, Saluatorian Parents, teachers, and friends, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1955, I want to extend to you a warm welcome to This Is Your Life - Seniors '55. We hope as the scenes from our life unfold here you will share with us the memories of our sadness and gladness, of our failures and achieve- ments. For the past twelve years you have given us guidance and encouragement to do our best. Our goal has been one of attaining the knowledge and training necessary for assuming our responsi- bilities in the world about us. We want you to realize the importance of your help in our achiev- ing this goal. When we take our places as citizens in the working world we hope that this knowledge will ,give us the opportunity and the courage to suc- ceed. The challenges of society must be met. If each of us can apply the knowledge and experiences gained in school and can justify the guidance and encouragement we have received from our families and friends, we can look forward to success in the years to follow and to a feeling of pride that This Is Our Life - Seniors '55. Stairway To The Stars By Addie Mae Skaggs, Valedictorian I reach for stars! I cannot touch them with my hands, I know But reaching makes me look to higher things and grow, And so I reach for stars. We look upward to the star feeling peace in its rays. For the last twelve years the members of the senior class have been climbing the stairway to the stars. We have been reaching upward for the stars and as we reached, we grew. Even though we can't touch stars, we can see and reflect their beautiful rays. Our privilege is to reflect. As we reflect these rays and others see us, we must re- member that we want others to see the best in us. Our best today is our beginning tomorrow. This is our motto. The star gives and we must give our best to the world today. If we give our best today, we will have a wonderful beginning for tomorrow's work. Some may not have as much to give as others, but still they must give what they have. The star cannort be rewarded, but we can be rewarded. Even though we may give only a. smile or a cheery word to' someone. It may be just what they need. It is the giver's reward to know that he has helped someone. As we go out from here after graduation, we will still go on climbing the stairway to the stars. The climb is not ended until our life on this earth ends. Vlfe will always keep reaching upward for another star, climbing another stair, and by so do-ing, attaining another goal. Each of these goals lead to the one great goal of reaching a, new and better place in which to live. Starlight is beautiful, mysterious, and gentle. It leads us beyond our worldly cares and activities. Therefore, as we go through life, we must reach for the stars and keep climbing their stairway - always upward. I Senior Holiday At 8:30 a. m. on the twelfth of May, the members of the Senior Class left Holden by bus for an holiday in Kansas City. The morning was spent in Swope Park, where everyone enjoyed a. picnic lunch at noon. The afternoon and evening activities included shopping, bowling, skating, looking for jobs, and attending theatres. The group arrived home about midnight, tired but happy.
