. j0U!0L 8 Schifferdecker is one of Joplin's many recreational parks of Today. But the summer day spent at Schifferdecker in 1950 was only one of many similar occasions in Suzie's memory book. Suzie was taking a sun- bath in the back yard, clad in what would have shocked her great-grand- mother, when she heard the familiar honk of Johnny's convertible. She heard the gang shout to her, C'mon and go swimming with us, Suzie! In a few minutes Suzie was ready with bathing suit and towel in one hand, tennis racquet in the other. After shouting, Bye Mom, we'll buy our lunch at the park, she ran out to the car to join the rest of the gang, prepared for a day of fun at any of J 0plin's many parks, Page 11

The first annual published in our school was in 1900. From this book we have taken almost all of our 4'Recalling Yesterdays . The class of 1900 found that almost every member was planning to go to college. Since they did not Want to forget their school days, an annual was printed for the students to keep as a memory book, The name, Sigma Kappa Alpha CSenior Class Annualj, was chosen. In 1901, because of the lack of funds, school closed at the end of the seventh month-so there could be no annual. In 1903 there seemed to be no interest in a yearbook. Some tell us there Was an annual in 1904, others say there was not, but in either case, no publication for that year could be found. Nothing definite could be found until 1912. The 1912, 1913, and 1914 books were Without names, only dates being used, The 1915 book was called High School Annual . The 1916 students Wanted a real name- so the n was dropped from Joplin and to the i'Jopli', the abbreviation for Missouri, HMO , was added-making the name JOPLIMO. From 1916 to the present time the annual of each class has improved in size and quality. This 1950 JOPLIMO, our Golden Jubilee book, We hope will be the best ever to be published in J. H.
