Boston iSecretaryJ 0' Keokuk Senior High School has for years ranked high in sicholastics, athletics, music and dramatics. This has been due very largely to the fine cooperation of the Board of Education, the community, the faculty, and the student body. The very fine school spirit that prevails between the faculty and student lbody reflects in the active par- ticipation of most of the students in one or more school activities. We want to encourage all students to develop their albilities 'by active participation in our activities and we trust the scholastic goals you have set for yourself are such that you will ibe able -to look 'back to your days in Keokuk S'enior High School with ROBERT S. LAUGHIRIGE, Bfincipal. pride and satisfaction. 0 Greetings to the Seniors of 1946 and the future Seniors of Keokuk Senior High School: From the A's to the Z's you peo-ple are to be conwgratulated for your collective and individual achievements. S-haring has long been a virtue. Sharing responsibility for the Pow- - Wow's growth has been one of the rprojects of the class of 1946. E-njoyinig each others triumphs in peip squad, -basketball, and lband finds a goodly number of the class. N-eeding some curtailing but with ideas that made the Forum and Phi- Chem active organizations. I--nvesting in as much fun and happiness as possible. 'The Quill and Scroll Dance and the S-adie Hawkins Brawl were brain children of your members. 0-bserving every holiday fand a few undeclared :by the school! has been a habit of the class of 1946. In the lovely Christmas and Easter music your group contributed. R-ecalling with thankfulness the comparitive security of the year 1945- 1946. One of your group designed a 'plaque in honor of our boys who were in service. S-eniors all-A grand -class from the Anderson's to the Zinnert s. Good cheer and good health to you all.

We noticed such gruesome twosomes as Fran and Pete, Glenn and Judy still atit. COthers too numerous to mentionj. There was a style show put on by the homemaking department. We learned what to wear, Where and so forth. Overalls were on the don't list, so the day after the show-that's right, everyone had 'em on. Oh well! Then Staples the Magician visited K. H. S. He showed us how to break TWENTY-ONE The 1946 Comment an egg in a hat, say the magic words abra kadabra and pull a rabbit out. lt looked so simple4but then we won't go into that. Yeah! Then we had the Junior Play Brother Goose co-starring Judy Henson and Bill Finnerty. lt played a two night stand and wowed 'em. Chiefs took fourth place in the Little Six football conference. Less said the better, Huh? And as Bill Hoffman remarked of Thanksgiving vacation lf it were longer, it would be nicer. fApologies to Billl. We saw four movies this year-Tyrone Po-wer in L'The Mark of Zorro g Fibber McGee and Molly in Here We Go Again , Frank Morgan in The Dancing Pirateug and Laurel and Hardy in The Flying Duces . At the time this was Cahemj composed these were al'l, but we're still hoping! Christmas comes in here somewhere. We got a ten-day vacation and came back the day after New Years. Rena Mary Rowe served ice cream and cookies to a little UD gathering of friends Q35 New Year's Eve. That had to be in, Rena, the calendar wouldn't be complete without one of your parties. Then we had the all school play-Florie Strate and Charles Off in The Little Minister. Florie even looked the part of the gypsy Babbie and the school paid for the dye job on her hair. lt was a very good way to find out how l'd look with black hair Florie commented. Nice going. Chiefs were red-hot this year and everyone was of the opinion we should have taken first place fwe got thirdj in Little Six Basketball Conference. Bob Vollers smashed the Little Six records with a grand total of 238 points. Guys and gals jived in the gym after most of the .Friday games. These sessions were well attended by students, service' men on furlough and chaperons. H A The paper drive went over big as free tickets to a movie were given away for every fifty pounds of paper brought. ' Of course we had a hflay Fete, or will have. We don't know much about it as yet. The Ju-nior-Senior Prom will be a sure thing as always. Right now we are worrying about dates to it. School closes May 31st and Commencement exercises will be held at 8:00 P. M. in the auditorium. All of us will miss good old K. H. S., the good times, and all of the kids.

Y SEVENTY-THREE The 1946 Comment r If ' Class Prophecy Attention, Iowans, and all those interested in Keokuk Senior High School! This is the biggest scoop of the year 1960, brought to you through the television services of Frances Kinnamon and presented 'by your See-It-All Commentator, Patty Lease. Never have so many Keokukians gathered together in one studio as are assembled to celebrate the dedication of the Frances Kinnamon Television Corporation, newly estafblishefd here on Mars. Looks like all of our '46 classmates from KHS are here on this great occasion. Fourteen years have made a lot of difference in the old class memlbers, And all of them have made the most envlafble re-cords for themselvesg many have acquired mates! One of the pilots for the atom-drive space ships which brought the members together here was none other than Glenn Wilsey. He wa-s always Hying high! I see Bones Schmidt over there, carrying that famous ruler with her. Fulfilling her life ambition to be a mathematics teacher, Bones has learned that the best way to beat knowledge into the cheru-b's heads is with a ruler. ' Look at those girls in tights over there, and that man in the tall hat, with them! Why, it's the Scott twins! And Bob Peevler! They had to rush off from the carnival show so fast they didn't have time to change costumes. The twins have a double or nothing act, you know, and Bofb is the show barker. Look out! Timber! Two guesses and you're right on -both. Bill Price and Corky Young had a Forest Corporation, you remember, first in Maine, then in Virginia, until the wooded areas decreased so fast the FOB f'Forest 'Control Boardj ordered them to Mars. Their new radar driven saw is making short work of decapitating the Martian trees. Shirley Off and Gloria Whetstone still maintain their KHlS friendship when they use to spend hours together in the clerical practice room. Now their hours spent together are as mimeograipher and comptometer operator at the paper mill back in Keokuk. See, they've just joined that group of office girls there, Do you recognize them? Shirley Seabold, Helen Weirather, Eunice Markle, and Mary Belle Martin. Still typing their way through life. Oh, look! What a tragic figure! Why, it's Florie Strate! Looks as if she and Rena Rowe and the two Bob Worsters are going to do a scene from their new play, Move Over, Ma-This is on Me! Get out your handkerchiefs, 1be'cause1I saw the show in that new open air theatre in New York, and it has been laying them in the aisles. By the way, do you know that Kate Lutz and Beverly Nels-on are starring at the Sky Room-that colossal structure suspended in mid-air through the direction of gamma betta rays upon it. No doufbt they learned a lot of those rythm steps in gym class. Oh! The lights have gone out, There's a spotlight focused on someone over there. --I can't see who it is yet,-Why, 'It's Dee Wiedmeyer! 'I knew she loved to chew bubble gum, but I never thought she'd make a profession out of it! A bubble dan-cer, no less! There's a little boy crawling into the spotlight with her. Listen to the crowd taugh. I wonder whose child it is. Glory be! That's M. G. Sterne II. T1here's Myra going up to rescue her child. Myra is proud of husband G. Hle's now Bishop of New York. I wonder who it is with that queer dust cap on her head. The face looks familiar, -Barbara Wilsey! Barbara! What has become of her long curly hair? Excuse me. I have just received a message here. Fancy that! Barbara Wilsey has a shop, Live Hair for Sale. She's shaved her head! That's almost as bad as Mary Alice Patterson, who has spoteproof book and magazine covers for sale. The sign over her shop reads, I Cover Everything. Sounds like Pat. I see Margie Taylor has finally succeeded in fulfilling her life am-bitin. She has acquired her ten husbands. Jim 'Schaaf is now ipresident of that large syrup plant in Vermont. You'd never guess, but his pretty secretary is none other than Mary Lou Off. Jim has a very efii- cient office force. Quite 'a few of them are familiar fa-ces. There's Lorraine Vogel, SEVENTY-FOUR - The 1946 Comment Vivian Zinnert, Darlene Varner, and Gertrude Turtle. In the factory, .Tack Shultz and Earl Morris are in charge of mixing the syrup. I knew they'd be stuck in some easy job. Dow Prouty and fMelvin Pool will remain here on Mars, as they have been assigned to work here at the station. They 'both have been with the FBI in Washington until promoted to this position on Mars. Velma Linnenburger has made her love of horses pay her large dividends. She now has large breeding and racing stables in West Virginia. She has raised several winners for the Kentucky Derby. Her chief ranchers are Joe Myers and Ed Peterson. Bettie Smith is here, after a stay at a rest home in beautiful Charleston. Bettie decided to live a life of ease after her strenuous years in KlHS, and quite wore herself out in her pursuit of pleasure. Bo-b Vollers and John Wahrer have a -professional basketball squad which is world fam-ous. The boys are still setting records. After all these years, Johnny still tackles a player once in a while. Guess he still plays football on the fbasketiball door, like he used to back in KITS. Bob is famous for his long basket shots from the middle of the floor. Pete Peterson is their coach. I knew he would be a success in this line if he would just stick to it. Phyllis Wright, Nina Wood and D-onna Wertz are famous models for fashion sh-ows now. Last year Phyllis was crowned queen of the models, with the other two girls runners-up. Rene Vaughan is in charge of a large research 'building just recently completed here. Maureen is head of the Dietetics Department and her right hand assistant is Marilyn Petersen. Her secreary is Eleanor Orth. Quite an efficient staff. Our old home town of Keokuk is now a large industrial city of 150,000. Some of our classmates are still located there, and were unable to take time off from their labors to join us. Mary Ellen Maicouibrie has a darling little baby shop, and her fashion designer for these cunning small frocks is Martha McManis. In a very' 'modern ten cent store are more of the girls we knew. Mary Frances Merideth and Patty Monical, Joan Nelson and Mariellen Reed are in charge of the personnel. There is a large drug store in connection with this, and Paulyne Pontius, Dorothy Me-ans and Charlotte Madelaine are the managers of the luncheonette and tea room. They received a lot of their training when they used to work in soda fountains during their high school days. Ednamae Roberts an-d Mary Ann McLaughlin have an interesting place of business. They advertise, Handy Helps for Haggard Housewives. They furnish ro-bots which do everything from tending the baby to serving a six course dinner. Here also is located that renowned school for backward children. It is run by Sally Naggs, who is world famous for her handling of these children. Mart Venning is here with her famous girls basketball team, of which she is coach. They won the national championship of the world, and are here to win new laurels. 'Nice shlootin', kids! Mary Louise Venning has also made her mark in the world. She is renowned for her vita-min pill LX, which has replaced the long hours of dish washing and preparing meals. No muss, no fuss, says Mary Louise's advertisements. Ruth Rhodes Any Flavor Grapefruit has taken Mars -by storm. Ruth experi- mented and found she could make the ordinary grapefruit have any flavor, chocolate or vanilla, or what have you, -by cross breeding. What will they think of next? Ruth Lvoewenstein is now giving exhibition shows of ,baton twirling. Ruth can throw her baton 58 feet into the air and still catch it when it comes down. That's really tossin' 'em high. Mildred Piersee is a hostess on one of our largest and newest space ships. If Mildred ever feels space sick, Geraldine Rein is on hand to take her place. Jerry SEVENTY-FIVE The .1946 Commenreeeyfeeseeee-B as owns one of the largest 'manufacturing companies in the U. S. She is a hostess in her spare time. . Erma Ricker and Eunice Seiferheld are 'partners in a restaurant chain. Their motto is, A taste tells the tale. Betty Seymour and Verna Caulkins were telling us about their line of work, which has proven both interesting and profitable for them. 'They train animals for acts in circuses, and, we are told, can't :be beat when it comes to taming cats Maxine Pike and Mary Lou Sherwood are operating a Beauty Shop for -men only. Here the sterner sex may have permanent waves and a rosy glow to the complexion by sunray lamps, long curly eyelashes, or any other beauty aid. The girls have a very exclusive clientele. I see Jim Beach in the audience. Jim wears a 4 carat diamond and drives a jet pro- pelled ato'mofbile. He is 'president of the most exclusive department store in Los Angeles. I guess Jim has done all right for himself, and his 'l'atomobile is a far cry from that old gray Plymouth he drove in KHS. Barbara Berryhill, the famous dancer, and Hfollywood's most handsome actor, Claude Ellting, are making a new picture, You Cried in My Sodapopf' Richard Aitken is producing this film. He must have received his experience in Keokuk. Dick has a marvelous orchestra for his super colossal picture. Lloyd Anderson plays the trumpet, Ray Banghart the piano, and the leader is Tom Dorsey. Tom always was a good leader. They needed a real actor for the sad part, and who should it be fbut Gladys Johns. Richard Kay has the most beautiful funeral home in the state of California. People come from all over the country to see it, although I don't know why. I've heard that the climate in California is the 'best in the U. S. for fruits, so that must be why Marvin Liindner settled here and started an orange grove. He and Melvin Land are partners and their assistant is Charles Keim. We even have some of our classmates in Mexi-co. Bev Baker is a famous model for Mexico City's most exclusive store. 'Bev is the Latin type, you know. Betty and Helen Jones are in Sanborn's restaurant. They are hostesses there. Betty Kingsbury is a criminal lawyer. 'They tell me she's another Clarence Darrow. Arlene Kohlmorgan married a wealthy oil man from Mexico. They' go to .San-born's regularly to see the floor show. Now showing is that renowned quartette, William Clark, Anita Owens, Jeanne Belt and Bernadine Woods. 'They took the day off to come to Mars for the dedi- cation ceremonies. There is Lois Koppenhafer over there in a 'beautiful white mink jacket. She models for an exclusive Texas store. She goes iby the name of Lois de Valez. Guess it's be- cause her secretary, Dolly Fox, can speak Spanish so fluently. All the gowns be-ar the label, 'Gilfderslip -Original. Phyllis Gilder-sleeve has become a famous 'buyer and de- signer of woimen's clothes. One of San Antonio's celerbrated persons is Bob Conner. I-Ie's editor of the maga- zine Off Key. Bob must have gotten this name from his mixed chorus day in KHS. Among his staff are typists Betty Bevering and Louise Bertschinger. Joan Baker has become an editorialist in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Jo's running for senator, and took time out from her campaigning to come here. Marjorie Hartley is also located in Tulsa, but not for long. Marge is a concert singer on tour and moves around quite a bit. Ted Gorham owns a line of taxi carbs and Aileen Howe and Jerry Dunn are two of his drivers. .It's said they are the safest, too. At the Coliseum in Tulsa they hold world famous wresting matches. Marilyn Dunagan and Jean Crowell are contesting for Champion Woman Wrestler. Elaine Bird will referee this match. She always was a square shooter. Bill Colvin own-s the largest shoe repair shop in Colorado. Just to keep his books straight he needed Peggy Inman and Rosie Jingst for secretaries. Bill owns smaller shops all over the country. SEVENTY-SIX The 1946 Comment Helen Casey settled in Denver. She's running an all night cafe and Wesley Becker is her bodyguard. I suppose in such a case a man would be handy. At Palm Beach, Florida, you can find Sally Hoerner. She has a brand new factory that manufactures cosmetics. Her slogan is, Slap on Sallie's and Sleep in Splendor. You can see it in neons on tops of the building. Gloria Chambers and Norma Carter are demonstrators for the cosmetics. Their faces are certainly' their fortunes. Sal has two new chemists on her staff, Larry Brown and Harold Evans. Bet they got inter- ested in chemistry back in KHNS. 'There sure is a difference in the odors of the things they make now and those they made then. Doris Gorham and Alice Hayden are the proud owners of a fishing boat in the Caribbean. The girls do quiet a business. Tampa, Florida, has a number of our classmates, too. Arvita Edwards and Wanda Jenkins are technicians at a laboratory. They convert palm leaves into prefabricated bathing suits. On one busy corner in Tampa one can see a large white building dominated by a sign that reads, Hill's Handsome Haberdasheryf' Winston has quite a place. He specializes in making little people seem taller. The way he performs this miracle is a deep, dark secret. Iva Erb and Mary Edna Dickson are hatblockers. Bet they get a lot of block- heads. The steamer is Leon Glover. We always knew Leon would do something use- ful with all that hot air. Kathleen C-ollisson is an X-Ray technician in Washington, D. C. She X-Rays all employees leaving the mint, to see that they didn't swallow any money. She received a medal for capturing some bright fellow who thought this method of stealing would be successful. Don Fortune and Forrest Holland decided to get rich quick, no matter how. If their scheme had worked out, they' would probably be doing a thousand years in Sing Sing, but the little -boy with the bow and arrow hit the mark, and -both 'boys are happily married and doing very well indeed in a large transcontinental trucking- company. Lo and behold! There's Richard Goodman and 'Bob Dickey. Dick is U. S. ambassador to Mars and Bob is his personal secretary, keeping him informed on general business conditions. Looking around our audience, it's hard to believe the changes that time has made. Bob Ashworth and Don Fogle are in a large 'corporation where they are working on a new radio which is capable of talking back. Marion White is now the world's renowned orator. She is also a tobacco auctioneer in her spare time. Janet Hornung is a famous beauty operator and guarantees to make a new wo-men out of you or else! Let's hope something can be done, If, in another fourteen years, it is at all possible, we'll try' to bring you another broadcast similar to this. By then, we hope to have added to our abilities. We leave you now for station identification. This is MJSV signing off. Good afternoon. FRAN KINNAMON, PATTY LEASE SEVENTY-SEVEN wg .ff 9-v-. oi 1 fir,- X f ?' ,f-f' 6 I V .
