I N PROPHECY by Mary Lu Valk The full glory of on the afternoon that I October day, the trees thin blue smoke rising autumn had descended upon the Ozarks started my hike. It was had all turned color and I a crisp could see from a cabin in the distance. Find- ing a site with a lovely view, I settled down and prepared to enjoy myself. There is no place like the Missouri Ozarks when it comes to just Nsettin'U and recalling the good old days and I had all afternoon to take it easy. Suddenly I found I was recalling my arrival in the nhome of the hillbilliesn last night. I had been driving slowly,taking in the scenery with wide eyes,when I approach- ed a pleasant little village. The first thing that caught my eye was an attractive inn called nThe Holaday ResortN.The sign said, WWhy not spend your holidays here?U and I thought it might not be a bad idea. Imagine haw surprised I was to find that Harold Holaday and his wife, the former Jackie Dowling, were the owners of the establishment! I decided at once that I must spend my vacation with them and catch up on article I some news from home. Digest magazine that Jackie had put in glance through it. I noticed that it Reaching into my knapsack, I pulled out a Readers for me, and began to said WJune l97ON and was several months old, but Jackie had told me that they were sort of off the beaten track and didn't get mail very often. I flipped the pages, searching for an hadn't read before, and stopped at one called UBill's Pillsn vs. Hadacol. I was about half way through the first para- graph when it dawned on me that the inventor was the same Bill Stanton who had graduated from high school with me. I had heard of the pills many times and realized that the long hours Bill had spent studying Chemistry in high school must have paid off. I was' so absorbed in the article that I scarcely noticed a couple of large hunting dogs sniffing around me. Then shots rang out and I began to perk up. The Holadays had warned me that there were likely to be hunters around, but I had not taken them very-seriously. Just then I caught sight of a large man tramping through the thicket, wearing a bright purple hunting cap. I was thinking to my- self UNow who under the sun would wear a purple cap?U whe11 more shots rang out and I had to yell UHey, don't shoot mein The man turned around and nearly dropped his gun when he saw me. nwell for ever more! If it isn't an old Horace Mann gradln Then I recognized him as Mr. Dieterich and it was my turn to be surprised! He hardly looked a day older than when I knew him in high school, but he said the strain of life at Horace Mann had forced him to take a short vacation. WSO you're still at Horace Mann!n I exclaimed. WI should have known when I saw the purple capn. We chatted on like a couple of old timers and then I asked him if he could bring me up to date on come of my old classmates NMonica Giesken, for instance,W I said. nOh yes,W Mr. Dieterich replied. WShe and Maureen Krenek are secretaries for Senator Smail in Washington.H WSenator Smailln I exclaimed. Surely you don't mean Bobby Smail who played on our basketball team when I was going to school?!U nYes, the same Bobby. He made quite a name for himf self when he left Horace Mann and is doing very well in Washington.n ' It took a minute for consideration of that before I continued. UMr. Dieterich, whatever happened to Sarah Scott?H ' nSarah? Oh, she and Mary Alice Garrison followed their ambitions to become nurses, and are now working around Marys vilJe.W Grinning, he added that they worked in close coll- aboration with George Atchison, local undertaker, since he usually got most of their patients sooner or later anyway. We were both agreeing that Horace Mann graduates really got around in the world, when a seedy looking fellow came into view and we both remarked that he looked familiar. The man was giving his attention to a herd of goats and it wasn't until he got fairly close that we could see his features. Then Mr. Dieterich cried, Nmy word! It's Gene Carrlu I immediately noticed the resemblence between Gene and his role in the play USparkin'U, of some twenty years ago. The greatest difference was that he had acquired a luxuriant crop of whiskers. We exchanged greetings and Gene sat down to join in our conversation. We told him that we were trying to keep track of '51 seniors and went over the information we had collected so far. Mr. Dieterich asked Gene what had become of his friend Kenny Holmes and Gene became very interested in telling us. WHe's a psy-psychai- what do you call them people?U UPsychaitrist?n I inquired helpfully. NYep,that's ith, said Gene beaming. I remember- ed that Kenny had a low, soothing yoice, and decided that that was an ideal profession for him. Eager to contribute my bit to the conversation,I asked, NDQ you remember Jean Hill? I met her in Kansas City re- cently and she's become a successful interior decorator din a department store there. She also told me that Barbara Beaver and her husband lived near to her and said that Barbara had a thriving business of painting portraits for famous people.W Both Mr. Dieterich and Gene were quite surprised by that news. Suddenly Mr. Dieterich chuckled and asked me if I'd heard of Jackson Adams' latest adventure. When I replied that I hadn't, he' said, Wwell, Jackson's become a piano tuner and I understand he has quite a following. He ad- vertises under the slogan, nLet Jack get them back in whack.N A lull developed in our conversation and we were all rather thoughtful. It was overwhelming to hear aboutsa many people all at once. Finally, Gene asked, WSay, what- ever happened to that there Dolores Howard?W Mr. Dieterich looked thoughtful and said, WNow I heard something about her just the other day.n Then he brightened and exclaimed, NI know. Marjorie was telling me about the success she has been having recently on Broadway.n WMarjorien I asked curiously. nOh, didn't I tell you that Marjorie Jackson has been my office secretary for several years now?N WMy goodness, no,n I said. I remembered that she had liked secretarial work and would be very capable.Mr. Didf erich went on by saying, UQf course Donna Crocker and Beverly Fannon are our lunch-room cooks and they put out some very tantalizing meals.n Gene was quite astounded by that one, and remarkeci WBy golly, I'll bet you have a lot of fun back there at Horace Mann. We do, Mr. Dieterich agreed. It's funt: see students come along from the second generation. You know, Ada Mae Wilmes has a couple of youngsters in school now. LaVeta McClurg does, too, for that matter. She and her husband live over by Wilcox and I see them quite often.n I noticed that it was getting quite late, but I still had some questions in the back of my mind. I told them about Jackie's information that Bonnie Carpenter had be- come a librarian in Columbia. I remembered that she had had considerable practice in our Horace Mann library. nJackie also told me that Pat Ruhl was having considerabb success as a weather forecaster for a St. Joseph radio station.W Gene slapped his knee and commented that Wwomen make good weather reporters because they're so durn change- able.W Mr. Dieterich said, nYou know, Beverly Hurst and Betty Hainey have been doing some interesting things lately They've invented a device called a Wfootstep detectorn and have a patent on it. I've been considering its usezkm tracing students who sneak out of study halls.n I agreed that such an item could be put to good use. Just then Gene interrupted by pointing a finger toward a child who was trudging along the road. WThat's Bonny Thorpe's youngest child,W he announced. nShe and her hus- band live down the road a piece and they've got ten young- sterSN' Mr. Dieterich and I agreed that we would have to visit Bonny before we left and see all of her family. All this time I had been wondering about Phyllis Hansen and now I had an opportunity to inquire about her. Mr. Dieterich looked at me sharpdqy and said, WSurely you've heard about Phyllis! Why she's the first woman to become mayor of Maryville! Solving the city's parking problem has been a large factor toward her popularity.n Al O'Connell has recently become a local coo, and since he's always loved good law and order, he's very conscientious in his job. He even arrested Rex Goodvin for speeding the other day, but that was understandable since Rex is a local hot rod racer and quite a hero with the younger set.n Mr. Dieterich suddenly asked me nYou don't know any- thing about Gerald Shell do you?n I shook my head and Gene came to the rescue. 'WWhy sure! I seen him jest last Sat- urday night. He's a prominent St. louis lawyer, and since his hobby is calling square dances, we have him come down every so often. We have some pretty hot dances on Saturdayf nights,n Gene added. WI got talking to Gerald about Virgil Wood and Larry Morehouse. He had had a card from Virgil from Siam, where he'd been on a recent trip. Virgil's a successful pilot and flies all over the world in his plane NThe Maryville Maniac.N He also told me that Larry More- house owned several oil wells in Oklahoma and had done very well for himself, financially. A sharp gust of wind reminded me of how late it was and I noticed that it would soon be getting dark. WWhat would you think of us going over tonThe Holaday Resortn and hav- ing a grand reunion?W I suggested. They agreed that it would be a fine idea, so we gethered our belongingsand started down the patho As we were leaving Gene said, WI've just been wondering about Tommy Davisc I donlt know how we could have forgotten him for so long, I suppose he followed his ambition to become a veterinarian,n NYes he did,H said Mr. Dieterich, WHe nearly killed my old cow last year, but on the other hand, he's pulled thrmmm a lot of my pets.n HBy Jupiter, I believe we've thought of everybody,usaid Geneo NI can only think of two more,n I said, nDeWitt Finney and Franklin Adams,n NAnd I can tell you about both of themn announced Mr. Dieterich, triumphantly, NDeWitt is quite a famed farmer around Maryville and hels won numerous prizes for his prod- uction of alfalfa, Franklin has taken the ministry for his profession and uses his excess energy by pounding the pulpit at Wilcox every Sunday morningon Hearing so many familiar names made me a little home- sick and I said wistfully, WHow I wish I could see our classmates again.n Uwell, you can,H said Mrs Dietericho HMost of them come back for our annual alumni night--why don't you come too, next year?n That sounded wonderful and I decided that I would be thereo It would seem good to see Horace Mann again, and my classmates from the class of 19516 September Z -ff! 13 21 21 21 22 27 29 , 29 October 6 6Q 6 5 12 12 16 20 20 21 2h 31 November CALENDAR OF EVENTS Enrollment 'First Assembly 'H Freshman initiation Election of cheerleaders Magazine campaign begun Football game with Forrest City Annual staff elected , Game with Fairfax Assembly to install student Council C Magazine campaignmends Football game with Oregon, dance afterwards High School Assembly First annual Staff meeting 'C Senior pictures taken Assembly for alternate cheerleaders ' School is resumed ' Senior Party Pep squad and Cubs to game at RosendaleCFootball College Homecoming parade United ations assembly All school Halloween party 5 Junior High ve.

In October, they presented their assembly, a talentlno- gram in which every member of the class took part. In January, they sponsored an all-school party to raise money for the March of Dimes. The whole year was busy for the class for they were active in their efforts to raise money for the annual Jun- ior-Senior Prom.

ORCHESTRA The noisiest room in Horace Mann at three o'clock on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday has undoubtedly been 12 9, better known as the Music Room. At such times, the squeaks, blasts, booms, and other musical intentions that reached you ears, were brought to you with the best wishes of the Horace Mann Orchestra.' One could always see an odd array ofnmusical activity during the first minutes of the hour. There was always a general stampede to have first choice of Music stands,the tuning of instruments,someone passing out music,and th8IBU81 confusion and gaiety that come when members of the orch- sestra got together. You might even have spotted our direct- or Mr. Donald Sandford, struggling to tune a cello, or wond- ering if there was glue on the string bass pegs. Thus, the orchestra has continued in its second year of e istence, blending talents together, and constantly strive ing toward improvement. The group made its first appearance of the year in a fall assembly program, played carols in the lower halls before Christmas vacation, and furnished music for the Senior Play. They also played several numbers as fcontinuedj part of a Music Week concert. Plans to attend another youth concert by the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra began germinating in the late fall, and on December 7, the eagerly anticipated trip was taken. Since SAO was needed to take the new Bearcat bus to Kansas Ctiy, the orchestra sold homemade candy twice and sponsored a movie. The day brought many memorable experiences and everyone enjoyed the concert in beautiful Music Hall, Chaperones for the trip were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sandford, Mrs. Dale Howland, and our student teacher,Mr. Stan Summers. Since most members of the orchestra are in Junior High or are underclassmen,our chances for progress are excellent. The orchestra is eager to continue and new members are alwa s welcome. Many instruments can be rented from the college, and group instuction is provided for beginners. Officers elected for this year were Colleen Froyd,Pres- identg Mary Lu Valk, Secretaryg and Betty Jenson, Reporter. The personnel was as follows, violins,Deloyce Harring - ton, Mary Inez Howland, Colleen Froyd,lJaneth Willis, Madel- eine Mongold, Rosellyn Ringold, Betty Hutson, and Joaan Griffey, cellos, Shirley Dieterich, Ronnie McNutt, Betiay Jensen, and Verlene Schmidt, string bass, Barbara Taylor 5 violas, Mary Lu Valk, and Meredith Nystrom, flute,Hbllis Whiteg clarinets, Anita McIntyre,Kathlyn Taylor, Vonita Por- ter, JoAnn Cotter, and Lillian Cummins, trumpets, Evelyn Finter, Gordon Garrett,- Kenneth Fisher, and Elvin Longg percussion, Marion Alice Noe and Larry Boyd, saxophones, Shirley Froyd and Walter Arms. 6 GIRLS TRIO e VOh, I can't take a walk with you this noon.n Why not? WBecause we have trio practice.H, Such a reply kept this enthusiastic organization, with the help of Miss Diane Dressler, student teacher, going strong. The girls trio, which is composed of Betty Jenson, soprano, Barbara Taylor, second, and Delores Howard, alto, was busy every Wednesday and.Friday noon. This group has sung for the student body many times during the year. They have also made several public appearances: at the 20th Century Club, at the Lions Club, and at country school pro- grams. The members are from the same community. All three girls graduated from the Ireland school, northwest of Mary- ville. At the present time, the trio is working and slaving on contest numbers and who knows, there might be honors in the offing. GIRLS TRIPLE TRIO - One of the most active organizations at Horace Mann has been the Girls' Triple Trio. This group practiced on Monday noon, and Friday mornings. , The members werea sopranos, Betty Jenson, Jo Ann Cotter, and Joan Griffeyg Seconds, Barbara Taylor, Betty Hutson, and Kathlyn Taylor, Altos, Iillian Cummins, Dolores Howard, and Coleen Froyd.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is one of the most active organi - zations in the Horace Mann High School. The purpose of this group is to get the student view-point on matters of interest to them, and to aid in what ways they can with the operation of the school. Each year they arrange for the schedule of assemblies, plan the monthly all-chool parties, assist with Parents' Night, work with the Physical Education Department in plan- ning noon hour activities and sponsor drives such as raising money for Red Cross, March of Dimes and Easter Seals. The Horace Mann Council is one of the most active in the state. Three years ago they helped organize the stat e organization and each year send delegates to this meeting. This year ten delegates and their sponsor attended the meet- ing in Warrensburg. Miss Rachael Taul is our sponsor and serves on the Executive committee of the state group. The third student council conference of this district was held March 31 at our school. This project of our coun- cil is of great help to our group for it gives them experi- ence in planning and is of a service to schools in theanm for it gives the students the opportunity to meet togetur I QQontinnedf to discuss their problems.

CLUB Last year the Seventh and Eighth Grades started the Teen Age Book Club, and we enjoyed it very much. The idea of this club is to get students to read more books. First the students read the kind of book they want, then they pick out an interesting part in the book and make a skit. This is supposed to interest the students in readmg these books. Mrs. Arthur, our sponsor has done a great job, in helping us promote T. A. B. Club.
