Mr. Morris J. Upchurch Congratulations to the Annual Staff and the Student C ouncil for making this annual possible under the careful guid- ance and patience of Morris I pchurch. who pioneered and developed the Huf- falo Trails.” This was the statement written by principal Simon Parker when the first issue of Huffalo Trails” was published in 1954. Mr. Upchurch the sponsor of the first Huffalo Trails”, worked with the 1954 Student Council to revive the HHS yearbook which had existed duriing the 50’s, hut had been suspended with the coming of World War II. The yearbook of the AO’s, The Huf falo” contained fewer pages than our traditional 96 and was paperbacked. Mr. Morris I pchurch, one of the finest teachers ever to teach in the Hugo school system, said after 42 years of service to HIIS it was time to clean out his desk, gather up some old memories and say Goodbye” to Hugo High School Among those memories, he said, are the early days” when no class periods were allotted for work on the yearbook, which meant many outside assignments for staff members. Planning hy the edi- tor and sponsor took up many after school hours and when working toward meeting a deadline the staff would often meet around several card tables at the sponsor’s home Mr. I pchurch said that in 1954, as seems to he the case today, the candids were always the favorite part of the annual. The auto-graph pages, too, became a treasured portion of the book as students were able to make their statements to fellow students a permanent part of the annual. W hen asked what highlights stood out in his mind during his years as the year hook sponsor, Mr. I pchurch stated that 195H was a special year because HHS included in the yearbook their own, original Alma Mater. The words were conceived by .Martha Dale Eddie man. Berry Ti reha ugh. Judy Ford, Gail Cum- mings. Jannie Houser. Jo Gail Mobley, Sina Carr, Marie Cowley, and Uela have Tuna, all members of the class of 1957. The words were set to music the following year by Hoh Grant, a I95S graduate of IIHS, and the words and music were then copyrighted.
