rTASS HISTORY On one early September mom In the year 1947, ten wide- eyed and bewildered Freshmen entered the doors of dear old Hoyt High, in the city of Hoyt, county of Jackson, state of Kansas• The class officers of this first year were? Shirley Voelker, president? Harry McKeever, vice-president; Patricia Slattery, secretary-treasury; Kiss Delhi our sponsor. Shortly after we got started in this Freshman year we lost Charlotte Morris who quit school. The fall of 1948 found us to have gained a little high- er position as Sophomores. Four members were lost during the summer—Clinton Chrisman, Clayton Chrisman, and Barbara Lamb- erson were lost to Kayetta High School and Charles Hainline left us to attend Eskridge High School. To help steer us through this year was Eldon Kolin, president; Shirley Voelker, vice-president; Patricia Slattery, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Longber our sponsor. The fall of 1949 found us to be dignified Juniors. We again had bad luck we lost Eldon Holins to Valley Falls and soon after school started we lost Patricia Slattery to Kay- etta. In their places though we gained Paul Chesnut from Michigan, Calvin Pagel from Kansas City and Clyde Connor from Topeka. The class officers for this year were Harold Kolbek, president; Harry McKeever, vice-president; Shirley Voelker, secretary-treasurer; Miss Siegle, our class sponser. This year we entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet, the theme of which was The Say Niaties11. At last we ere on our home-stretch, beginning the year with three of tne original Freshmen. We were unfortunate to lose Paul Chesnut, who went back to Elchi ’an, and Calvin Pagel to Topeka. The class officers for this year are Shirley Voelker, president; Clyde Connor, vice-president; Harry »c- Keever, secretary; Harold Kolbek, treasurer; and Charles Hain- line, historian; Mr. Williams, our sponsor. And now as the year book :oes to press we are looking for- ward to the Junior-Senior uanquet, graduation and the Senior play which we ho e to give in the spring.
