What does it mean to us? First and foremost it means an education. These are the classrooms where we studied and learned. Most of the time we really got down to business, not only to get an impressive grade to show our parents, but to gain more knowledge to curb that inadequate feeling we’ll have when we face an adult world. But these buildings hold more than a formal eduction for us. We experience the anticipation and excitement of a pep rally before a big football game. There were the crazy antics of beatnik students during Sponge Week and the formal atmosphere of Dress Up Day with girls in high heels and boys in suits and ties. What could equal the thrill the actors felt the moment the curtain rose on the senior play? The musicians in the school delighted at hearing the playback of a snappy cha-cha the stage band had just recorded. And basketball—this is the game that taught us all sportsmanship; this is the year we learned how to be good winners; this, to many students, athletes, and girls alike, was the most exciting part of the whole school year. Then there was the romance of the Junior-Senior Banquet which the juniors had as much fun preparing as the seniors did receiving. These are the buildings that will leave cherished memories with us when our high school days have ended. LARRY ABELDT F. F.

The officers, chapter mothers, and sponsor had much fun at the Officer’s Retreat, at Herington Lake, in August. In October, the Freshman Homemaking Class prepared a Swedish buffet for the F. H. A. After supper, Freshman Initiation was held. Another October activity was the District III F. H. A. meeting at Pratt.

Annual Staff The Annual Staff devoted much time and effort in the production of this book. To begin a busy work year, several mem- bers of the Staff attended the Yearbook Conference at Manhattan, Kansas, to learn and gain ideas about constructing a good yearbook. Our cover was chosen, a dummy copy was prepared by the editor, and several days were spent selling ad- vertisements in Hope and the surrounding area. Then the Staff got down to bus iness in some hard work sessions. The Staff worked diligently to meet the deadline. Everyone had a feeling of accomplish- ment when they handed in their finished pages to the editor.

Student Council The Student Council is the student governing body of Hope High School. Each class and organization is represented in the council by one or two students. The council works with the faculty, administration, and students to help enact laws and promote better understanding. Bob Meyer, Student Council president, led an active administration this year. First they became interested in starting a Teen Town for the teen-agers of Hope and brought the issue before the community. They set up a new system for all-school parties, and assumed the responsibility for two of them. The Student Council originated Sponge Week, which all the students enjoyed very much. Some of their regular duties included planning and presenting a Christmas program to the high school. They also sponsored a very impressive homecoming ceremony. Santa (Larry Abeldt) and Bill Backhus (Kenny Gantenbein). Bob Meyer, Student Council president. Homecoming Junior Attendant-Lynda Miller Senior Attendant-Gayle Morgan Judy Deines was crowned Homecoming Queen for 1961-1962 by DeVVayne Backhus. The theme for the Homecoming festivities was Her Highness in All Her Glory.” The Lions completed the ceremonies by defeating Gossel 66-59.

Classy beatniks. Surprised, Lynda? Sponge Week The wackiest week of the whole school year was sponsored by the Student Council. ’’Sponge Week” ran from November 13-18. Each day the students carried out a different stunt. One day they wore bows in their hair; another, colors that clashed terrible. On White Elephant Day everyone exchanged ’’gifts” that consisted of something they didn't want. Also, the seniors took over the job of teaching in all classes for one day. Probably the most fun was Beatnik Day. Some of the costumes were really way out. Sponge Week was concluded by a dance on Saturday night. This was in Sadie Hawkins style, with the girls asking boys for dates. Preston Shugart and Cheryl Davis were crowned King and Queen Sponge. The last dance brought an end to a very successful fun week. Rockin’ Rollin’ Mr. Hewett's physics hoods. Ready for their beauty sleep. Hangout in the hall.

Class Night 3 Lynn Just couldn’t stand up straight at Phantom Acres. The long, wild bus ride. Aw. Harry! 1 didn't mean to do it. Canoeing and swimming—two big attractions at the lodge. The Seniors had the time of their lives during their three day stay at Kirkwood Lodge, located on the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Boating, swimming, sun- bathing, and eating delicious meals were all part of each exciting day. In the evening everyone gathered around to square dance to Flip Flippo's calls and take part in a talent show presented by Seniors from all the school there. Sleep was an unimportant matter to the students, but Harry, the night watchman, tried unsuccessfully to quiet them down. During their stay the Hope Seniors made many new friends, had a lot of fun in the sun, and came home saying that they'd never forget dear old Kirkwood. Mr. Yakle and Jerry escaped to their room to catch forty winks. Evelyn really moved on her water bike. Cute little brats, aren't they? Those square dances were swingin'!

The waitress were dressed in mu-mus with flowers in their hair and leis around their necks. The program consisted of ten Hawaiian students from Emporia. The magician, the two dancers, and the band were enjoyed by everyone. I have a notion to turn you over my knee and give you a spanking!” Alice Van Thorp . . Myra Hibbert . . . Mrs. Hobson ....
