W. Wright, Superintendent, was born at Puxico, Mis- souri, August 14, 1902. He attended grade school at Illmo, and did his high school work at Peabody High School, Mem- phis, Tennessee, and College High, Cape Girardeau. Upon graduating from high school, Mr. Wright entered Southeast Missouri State college, where he attended for three years. In 1924 he accepted a position as teacher and coach in the lllmo high school. After four years in this position, he left the teaching field and accepted a position as salesman for the Alfo-Corn Milling Company. After several years in this field, Mr. Wright decided to finish college and enrolled in Southeast Missouri State college where he obtained his B. S. degree. At this time he accepted the position as prinicpal of the Van Buren high school. The following year he became super- intendent of Freemont Consolidated schools. ln 1937 Super- intendent Wright accepted the superintendency of the Van Buren Consolidated schools, which he held for eleven years. In 1941, Mr. Wright received his M. A. degree in School Ad- ministration from Missouri university. In the spring of 1947, Mr. Wright was elected as super- intendent of the newly organized lllmo-Fornfelt Consolidated schools. Through his wide experience in school administration, interest, good planning, and wise judgment, the lllmo-Forn- felt Consolidated schools has grown in size and in unmeasur- able accomplishments toward the betterment of educational opportunities offered to the youth of this community. flllllll lSllillll0 cg- 'Vx 1 BOARD OF EDUCATION Otto Jann, Secretary: B.

S. degree in Education from the Southwest State col- lege, Springfield, and his Masters degree from Missouri university. Before becoming principal of our school last year, Mr. Wheeler was superintendent of the Carl Junction Consolidated schools for three years. He has also held the superintendency position at Niangua and Louisburg. During his teaching career, Mr. Wheeler Iaughingly admits, that he has taught every subject in the regular high school curriculum except music and commerce. ' This year he teaches world history, high school geography, and Ameri- can problems.

I am just about ready to start on my jour- ney across the United States to see what has become of my fellow graduates of I949. Here is my pilot-ready to start. Wait a minute, he looks,familiar to me. Well, he should, because it is Bill lnnis, President of TWA, and my private pilot on this journey. However, before I leave New York, I take a few minutes and try to locate some of the '49 graduates that are now living here. OH! Look over there! What does that large flashy neon sign say? Jungers-Crow Dancing Academy, and who do you think is their star instructor? l'll give you three guesses. Yes, that's right-Freddie McKinney. IYou know what I mean.l On I travel. Now I see before me Annapolis, Mary- land. Here the men are saying Yes man'n and no man'n to Miss Frances Bailey, the only female military in- structor in the world. I understand she teaches the boys how to run the obstacle course. A large white domed building comes into view, and I know that I am approaching Washington, D. C. Flying low over the Capitol building, what do I behold, but a familiar black curly head bending over her desk in an office. Who is she? Well, can't YOU guess? She is Ruth Ann Eifert, Republican, as Speaker of the House of Representatives. By the way, did you know that Con- gressman Eifert is noted for her filibustering, when a Democrat wants to put over a bill? Also, in another part of the building, I see a suite of office rooms with the name Bernice Roth on the main door. What is Bernice doing in Washington? Well, she is now the senior U. S. Senator from Missouri, and you should see the prices of farm products, corn is now S15 a bushel. I am now approaching Cleveland, Ohio, on my jour- ney, where I run across Bob Hamil. Bob is now managing the Cleveland Indians, and hopes to lead them out of the cellar. On to Chicago, Illinois, where I bump into none other than Bill Hensley. Bill and Virginia have now settled down in Chicago, where Bill is coaching the Bears. I bought a piece of candy on the plane and when I opened the wrapper, the candy was no good, so I looked at the wrapper and to my surprise-what did I read, Made in Perkins Candy Kitchen, St. Louis, Missouri. Upon reaching this fair city, I at once ventured to the office of the Perkins Candy Kitchen. After going up twenty floors I ran into a ten room office suite. In large letters on the main door I read Perkins Candy Kitchen, C. L. Perkins, President. I walked in and what do I see Before me? Othella Bean, taking dictation from C. L.'s nee. After a little chat, which lasted for about ten hours, I called on Estella Adaline Dunger, now president of Kiss- able Lips lnc. Her firm's motto is You Furnish the Lips, l'Il Make Them Kissable. The city has done wonders for Estella-what a shape she has-especially legs-just like little frogy's. I asked her if she was married, and with her wicked rolling eyes, she replied, l tried it five times, but you know how it is-. After my visit with Estella I was fatigued, and in need of a good rest, so I registered for a night at St. Luke's Hospital where Barbara Steckler is now chief surgical nurse. Say, she took good care of me. Am I bruised!!! I now head for the tri-cities-Illmo-Fornfelt-Ancell. I find that many of the graduates are now happily married, and raising their families. Among them is Jane Darby, OOPHs! I beg your pardon, I mean Mrs. Virgil Mowery. Next I saw Mrs. William Dale Hopke, whom we knew as Evelyn Sanders. By the way, who is that I see coming from the Post Office? Bless my heart, why if it isn't Rutha Sue Carr lbetter known as Susie l. Oh I AM sorry, I mean Mrs. Carl Rogers. She looks like a French doll all wrapped in cellophane. I stopped in Fornfelt, and I found Mrs. James Messmer lbetter known to you as Loretta Schererl and her five sons. I heard that Mrs. Norvel Friese ILouise Davisl has twin girls, and is expecting an- other pair soon. Louise says she wants to have the largest family in Ancell. Oh, yes, and by the way, Louise told me that Bob finally found a job, and has married Tommye Habum, and they settled down to raise their family of little Hopke's. Going by the Illmo Recreation Parlor, I noticed a sign reading Basket Ball game tonight-Olson Five vs. Graysboro. Upon inquiring about the Olson Five I found out that a prominent senior, Betty Albrecht, had married Lee Olson, and they had raised an all-star basket ball team. Papa and mamma are the coaches. My next stopping off place was Jefferson City. I immediately went to the Capitol to look after some im- portant business matters, and here I ran into Edward Spradlin, who now bears the title of Head of the Soil Con- servation Commission of Missouri. In passing through the halls of the Mo. Supreme Court Building, my eyes glanced at the heading on the main entrance to the court room. I was startled-I adjusted my glasses-I read the name over and over again. Can it be??? Yes, it must be true--that's what it reads-Chief Justice Daniel L. Frye. I now move north on my journey. I am flying low over Detroit, Michigan, and I lean out to satisfy my curi- osity to a large sign below--and what did it say-Madame Shirley Dunger Fifi Matrimonial Agency. That aroused my interest to the boiling point, so I just had to stop over-night and visit Madame Shirley Fifi. Did we gossip -YOU BET, we gave the entire class of '49 a good work over. Shirley told me that she has a flourishing business. Since January she has tied about three hundred knots. When I asked her about her mate, she replied that she was still burning her torch for the He-man of the '49 class, but that he had married seven times lwife one was none other than Estella Dungerl but every marriage went on the rocks. I asked her what was the cause of his matri- monial difficulties. She replied, good looks, and ham- burgers. Let's ride down to the University of Texas and see how the head football coach there is coming along. You would know him as Paul Wilkerson. Oh yes, I almost forgot, he and Barbara Farmer finally got married. Now, we are headed West. We have been flying for so very long, and I am so hungry. Where are we going to stop for some lunch? Where else but the Seven-Eleven Night Club in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Boy what a swankey place! Yes, even roulette wheels-plus a big hunk of muscle-curly hair lgood looking by the wayl proprietor. In a nonchalant way, this big he-man walked up to me. Just as he started to say May I serve you, I recognized him. Well, believe it or not, even with his Clark Gable mustache, I was not deceived. Sure enough it was handsome Roger Seal-the ice and ham- burger boy of I-F high. Roger tells me that he is making I I SI Illll PIIIIPHIIZI money-has several Cassino's scattered through them there hills and deserts of New Mexico and Arizona. I casually inquired about Mrs. Seal, but he replied that Hedy Lamarr would not be Mrs. Roger Seal until next month. Under cross-examination he admitted that this would be his eighth trip up the carpet to answer, l do, but insisted that this time it was really love. Just sounds like Hollywood. During his spare time he still pulls ice, and admits he has not lost his touch in making juicy hamburgers. Ah, I feel so much better now, so I board my plane and fly along enjoying the ride-when I come to the State of California, where many of the graduates have made their fortunes. Robert Cochran is now a sensation, be- cause he has taken over Bing Crosby's job of crooning. Wilfred Raines and his harmonica have gone far on the road to fame. Wilfred is now the owner of Grand Ole Opry. Robert Ross is in Hollywood doing the job of pro- ducing some GRAND movies. They really make your hair stand on ends. Oh, the life of an editor. Where do we find Bill Coombes? In Los Angeles behind a desk in a room marked Editor. He is now the editor of an exclusive Bobby Sox magazine, entitled Squeeze Me Tight. His high school experience with the fair sex has provided him with a rich background, especially with brunette beauties. On down the hall in another office marked Society Editor, we find Roberta Rowland, hurriedly trying to make a deadline on the paper for the evening. Roberta hits all the night spots she says, and has the low down on Hooley Ross, Wilfred Raines, and their bathing beauties. I have located all the fellow graduates of '49 that I can find in California, so l am returning to New York over a different route, and very quickly I find myself in Kansas, just outside of Leavenworth, where Leroy Roth is the owner of a large wheat farm. Please understand the farm does not belong to Uncle Sam. Everything is peaceful and quite calm until I reach New York, and then I discover that I have forgotten to inquire about three of the '49 graduates. Or have I??? Thelma Kinder's life ambition of becoming a good secretary has come true. Thelma is now known all over the U. S. as Miss Secretary, of I969. She tells me that she is trying to win the hand of the president of TWA, but in spite of twenty years of longing and hoping Bill Innis is still bashful. Helen McCollum, who, when she was a senior, was chosen as queen of the I949 MEMORIES, is now a model lan especially beautiful onei for John Robert Powers. What surprised me most during the course of our con- versation was the remark she made about Jim Bollinger. What was IT??? Oh, she said she'd rather be taking care of Jim, if she could, than do modelling. Can that be true??? Last, but not least, I must tell you about Shirley Keesee, who had an excellent record in home economics in I-F. She now heads the Home Economics department at Columbia university. She tells me that her latest book is just off the press and soon will be in the hands of future homemakers throughout the U. S. The title of her book is Winning a Mate Through Tempting Dishes. She says that she is indebted to Mrs. Florence Baker Wood, her high school home economics instructor, for 'many ideas and suggestions. Just as I am landing in New York, the pilot says Washington is radioing me, so I step to the cockpit of the plane to take the message. It is Senator Roth saying I must come back to Washington immediately. Are you wondering what the message I received was about? Well, I'll tell you who I am. I am Allene Owen, the first Democratic woman president of the United States, and they need me in Washington, to save the fili- buster from being filibustergd to death by a group of filibusterers headed by the filibustering Speaker of the House, Ruth Ann Eifert.

To prepare students to live in a democracy, to create a sense of honor, loyalty, and responsibility, to encourage and maintain high standards of sportsman- ship, scholarship, and school activities, to bring about a higher sense of cooperation and understanding be- tween faculty and students are the purposes of the council which meets weekly. The council is composed of fifteen members, a president, and two representatives from each home room. The president is elected by the entire student body. Representatives are elected by the home rooms. All other officers are chosen by the council. Some of the activities sponsored by the student council during the year were host to the SEMO Feder- ation of Student Councils, special assemblies, open house during American Education week, radio pro- grams, boys' oration contest, girls' prose and poetry contest, school parties, infantile Paralysis and Red Cross drives, guidance day, all-school talent contest, and student government day.

The play was produced and directed by Mrs. L. H. Shipman, class sponsor. As the story unfolds, Professor Pepp is away on vacation in Russia and the freshmen of this college town seem to be causing the town police force, Sim Batty, a lot of'trouble. The Professor's ward, Betty Gardner, meets a nice young man named Howard Green and wants to marry him. f While the Professor is in Russia, an ex-student of the college Boris Ardoff, plays a joke on him which results in the Professor's idea that he is being sought out by the Russian nihilist because he didn't murder the Princess Katch-a-koffsky. C. B. Buttgnbuster, Howard's father, and one time lover of Minerva Boulder, enters college and also becomes madly in love with Betty Gardner. The campus is thrown into much confusion when both Buttonbusters meet along with the Russian nihilist and their bombs. CAST Professor Peterkin Pepp, a nervous wreck ................
