The first step was to elect capable students to prepare the material.The staff decided to call the book NThe Swann to conform to the name of the town and the trad- itions of the community. Blue and silver, the class colors, were chosen for the cover. The regular staff is especially grateful to Lois Rogers, Maretta Reinke,Marie Smith,and Mrs. Leamon for their willing assistance in helping them meet the deadlines.

The Nmann outside was telling us The things inside we'd see, The waving hands, the great big voice, Belonged to Bernard Massey. The girl who sold us high-priced tickets To see this big affair, Was Dorothy Marsh in stylish clothes And flowers in her hair. We saw the elephants munching hay, We saw their water boy, We knew that none could care for them Quite like their keeper, Roy. We all gave our attention To the loudly playing band, Their tall, stiff-legged leader Was Bob, baton in hand. The elephants marched around the ring And seated on the first one, -In a little cage away up high Sat Jeannette--yew what's she done? A pure white horse came prancing in, Its dainty hoofs were black, And Shirley, standing on one foot, Was balanced on its back. Skipping on a tight rope thin, And high above our heads, Was Beverly Barker igraceful galb In jewels and feathers red. The next act was a daring oneg The trapeze was so high That Lois, dressed in glittering tights, Just seemed to touch the sky. A group of clowns came tumbling in With baggy pants and noses red, The funniest one was Charles Van Vlack We laughed at everything he said. We met the man who owned it all, The speaker introduced him, With pockets jingling, silk top hat, It was our good friend, Jim. The main attraction of the show-- Just hear the girls squeall It's Kenneth Miller, on parade, And oh yes, girls, he's real. Down toward the end of the big tent Where all the soldiers were, Marie was selling chewing gum, We kind of envied her. The girl we bought our pop corn of Was all dressed up, in blue, We thought Maretta looked quite nice, The boys all thought so too. They say that when the tent was raised-- Now don't you think it's silly? The girls who came ignored the tent, They all cast eyes on Billie. The lion tamer cracked his whip, The lions weren't to blame-- They sat and gazed at Pete's brown eyes 'But school girls do the same. The girl who led the panthers in, With whispers and love-pats, Was Rosalie, who'd trained the five By treating them like cats. The girl who told our fortunes, free, She said we'd all be bums! Was Elsie May, in flowing robes, She's one of our old chums. The charmer of the snakes was brave, The cry, Wshe's greatw, was heardgt Jeannine had charmed them with her flute She hadn't said a word. The show was over, we had to go, But first we thought awhile, Of how the Seniors all got by-- They gave the world a smile! By--Rosalie Hoppe, Lois Rogers, 11510 In luster ' . Pres.

Forty enrolled in girls' glee club, twenty-two in boys' glee club, and thirty-six in the school band. These three groups, under the direction of their instructor, Mrs.Lois Irwin, have succeeded in attaining many of the desired accomplishments of talented school musicians. ' At Christmas time the combined vocal groups presented to the public the cantata nThe Music of the Bells.n Rosalie Hoppe made the stage decorations providing a beautiful background for the vested choir as it sang the impressive music of Christmas. Special music was provided for assemblies and programs by the following: Solos--C. Calvin, E. LaMaster, Sitting: L. Sullivan, B. Gowing, N. Blessman, G. Rockwell, D. Long, C. Stoker, G. Banks, B.

Reinke The band with an initial membership of 28 had increased to 56 by the end of the first semester. Their first performance was during the foot- ball season when they played at the last home game. Marching preparations had been made, but the weather did not permit marching. In November the band gave a concert preceding the Junior Play. Much solo and mixed group work had been done. A visit to the Philharmonic y Pop concert was enjoyed by the thirty-five members who took the trip by bus on January l9. During the school year of '46 and '47 we have been very successful in bettering our music department and it is our earnest wish that such Success be continued in the following years. ist. Row: E.

On September 6 the pep club was organized and the following officers were elect- ed to take the other members by the hand and lead them through this year: president, Jeannette DeMott3 vice president, Fontella Butlerg secretary, Lorene Ellen Pease, treasurer, Elsie LHMHSBGIQ marshall, Roberta Gage, reporter, Rosalie Hoppe, Georgia Lou Harper and Darlene Tolman served as vice president and marshall following the resignation of the two elected. Betty Phalen, Norma Dean Kyle, Beverly Barker, and Lois Rogers captain, were elected cheer leaders to lead the club in yells and to help them keep up their pep at all football and basketball games. The members chose to call themselves the Minnie Ha-Ha's to correspond with the Indian Braves. Liking the idea of an organized club, the members decided to draw up a con- stitution which the club could follow for years to come. The classes elected as a constitution committee Darlene Tolman, freshman, Joan West, sophomore, Fontella Butler, junior, and Jeannette DeMott, senior. WPeppy and cooperativen are two words descriptive of the spirit in which the club members have participated in school activities. Occasional snake dances per- formed at noon through the halls, and pep assemblies added interest in the games. A section was reserved for visiting pep clubs at the home games. For games out of town a bus was provided for the pep club members. . One big event that the Minnie Ha-Ha's planned and worked out this year was a Chili Supper for the football boys. Five tables decorated with red and blue Indian heads, tepees, and football center-pieces provided places for the fifty guests and twenty-seven club members. Each Minnie Ha-Ha, acting as a hostess, served second helpings of chili, crackers, celery, pickles, and coffee before serving the cherry pie. Darlene Tolman and Patricia Zimmerman played the piano during the meal and Beverly Barker led the group singing before the program. Lorene Ellen Pease wel- comed the guests and presided during the program which included numbers from Norma Dean Kyle, Coach Leamon, James Achey, Carol Calvin, Jeannette DeMott, Robert Banks and James Young.

Si. . Q9 men we G The science department under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Handley offers three courses of instruction: general science, physics and biology. The general science course, open to any beginning student in science, consists of the fundamentals of the major fields of science. In biology, the study of plant and animal life, experiments are made by the stud ents and demonstrations presented by the instructor. In the fall and in the spring the students go on field trips to observe wild life ann collect specimens for nocn ing and study. Also on the field trips we collected animals from a pond and sent off for plants in order to achieve a balanced aquarium. I Physics, one of the two required laboratory courses offered by this high school is va- luable both to fu- ture college stu- dents and to the student Whois int- erested in radio or engineering work.

Our get acquainted party on the boat in the early fall was the first of,many good times together.

We were all glad to have Vivian Cooper and late spring of l944 we had another party before hoping all would be back in the fall to start on In the fall of 1944, 22'sophomores gathered other voyage on the HSwann.

That left us with only We sold magazines for our Junior--Senior Banquet fund. In the late spring we had our other party, and after telling each other good bye,we left with the hope that we would see each other in the fall. In the fall of l945, 20 members filed up the gangplank to start the voyage of our junior year. We had acquired two new crew members--Betty Sue Phalen from the Wichita boat, and Vivian Cooper from Pleasanton's boat to which she had transferred during her sophomore voyage,and lost Bryce Milton to the Parker boat we again chose Norman Wade to be our captain, Shirley Bays for first mate, Lois Rogers to keep the log,and Beverly Barker as purser. Miss Dorothy Henkle and Miss Olive Gage were chosen to be our guides.We put on a real show on October 5O,call- ed nKay Beats the Bandu. we were proud of its success and of the 880 we cleared. As we didn't have time for a class party, Elsie LaMaster invited us to her cabin, for a Christmas party. We drew names,and had a wonderful time. We were very sorry when one of our sponsors,Miss Henkle,took sick just before the Christmas vacation but we welcomed Miss Louise Mitchell who took her place until she was able to re- turn. At the end of the first semester Ervin Ray left us to join the Blue Mound showboat, and about the middle of the second semester Norman Wade dropped over- board to take something else up. On May 2, we invited the faculty,the schoolboard memberaand the seniors to our show boat to entertain them for one evening at our Balloon Banquet boat, and again told each other good bye. In the fail ' of high school. joined our crew sponsored by Miss Gage. About the middle of May we stopped our of l946, there were l8 members to start on our last long voyage James Achey, from the Navy,and Estill Russell from Adrian had . we elected James Achey as captain, Billy Conard as first mate, Rosalie Hoppe to keep the log, and as purser. Miss Mitchell and Mr. Handley were chosen to be our guides. A picnic at the airpark and a Christmas party in the study hall were enjoyable all school affairs dur ing the first semester. Deciding .o publish an annual, we elected our staff, and they are now busy getting every little detail correct to make the annual a success.Money was rais- ed by the sale of magazines and by the sale of f ood at basketball games.Mm work- ed hard on our senior play in the spring,and later enjoyed the banquet given for us by the Juniors. Time passed quickly and on May 16 we left the boat forever to travel on our separate voyages. By Maretta Reinke enlor Gprop QCQ In the spring of l957, James Achey, the president of our class, decided to make a tour of the world to check on the senior class of '47. Starting from La Cygne he first visited Shirley Bays who was settled with her fine husband west of La Cygne.' There were two little Kenneths pulling at her apr on strings . Going on to Jingo he found Charles Van Vlack Cknown as nthe kidnl who could never find time from farming to come to high school. Charles said he wasn't both- ered with the labor shortage anymore because he now had four little WKidsW as his helpers. Kenneth Miller had decided married life wouldn't be so bad after all and had settled on a large ranch near Fontana raising cockle burrs and sunflowers for his little Norwegian wife. Beginning the second week of his tour,James had just entered Kansas City when he happened to run across an etiquette school for teen age girls. Thinking he might find some of the students of the class of '47 in the school he asked to see the teacher and was greatly surprised to find the teacher none other than Jeannine Karr. Estill Russell, better known as Pete, decided he would like to drive a truck. James found him driving a trailer truck for the Gillette Transport Company in Iowa During his time off he was located in a small village caring for his wife and fam- ily. . a Maretta Reinke, the school teacher of our class, taught all over the state of Kansas, but, deciding that the Kansas children were bright enough,she went to Iowa to teach. When James visited her he found that she had given up teaching and had become the wife of a truck driver and is now struggling along teaching her little nPetesW to read and write. Billie Conard, who always had a great desire to become an undertaker, began his study right after graduation and soon became well known all over the world as the owner of Conard's Funeral Home of Chicago. James was interested in the fact that his sons and Marian were his assistants. r Going on to Detroit he learned that Dorothy Marsh who had given her heart and hand to a very nice young man was now helping him sell new l957 Ford cars in their garage, and also caring for her four little Dorothys. In Washington D. C.,James had the opportunity of seeing Roy McRae. Roy,assis- tant post master of La Cygne during his high school, years, decided to make that his career. Roy told James that he had been appointed Post Master General by the president and was then serving his third year and that he appreciated the assist- ance of his wife, Ferne. James next visited Elsie La Master in her elaborate home in New York City. After attending college for several years, Elsie decided that she had learned all there was to know, so she established the La Master College of Brain Culture for men from all parts of the world. James didn't like the weather in New York so he took a flying trip to Miami, Florida. Everyone there was talking about Bernard Massey from La Cygne, who had organized a Bathing Beauty Club for girls from eighteen to twenty-five yearsgold. James lingered for several weeks but since he hadn't heard about all his classmates he decided to visit the West. Stopping off at the famous city of Reno he accidently met Jeannette De Mott, the girl who always had a great desire to become a lawyer. He was surprised to hear that she was there for the purpose of getting a divorce from- her French husband who objected to her job of helping other people get rid of their husbands. James asked Jeannette what became of her friends Lois Rogers and Beverly Barker. Jeannette told him that after graduation Lois entered beauty school in Paris in one of the finest schools to study the exquisite feminine coiffures. A recent picture of her showed that she practiced the new hair-dos on herself. Beverly, who wanted to work in a jewelry shop, was not only working in one, but also was owner of a jewelry store in Switzerland. In her spare time she took skiing trips in the.Alps with her latest husband. Visiting Rosalie Hoppe in Hollywood, James asked her what she had done after graduation. He found that she had gone to art school to take up dress designing, winning several honors. After taking several trips, one of which was to Paris, she was now costume designer for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios in Hollywood and was known all over the world for her costumes. On the front page of a newspaper was the life story of Bobby Banks. James read that Bobby,who had wanted to be a doctor, had attended medical college after graduation and was employed at Research Hospital in Los Angeles, carrying on his greatly desired career and caring for his wife, Shirley, and family. Marie Smith had always wanted to travel, but James was pleased to learn that 30 she was now in Mexico where she had finally settled down. She had been around the world and was now teaching her new husband the different dances she had learned. James now had heard about all of his class mates,visited some of their homes and seen how successful they were, but as he saw the familiar scenes of LaCygnG was glad that this was his home and was sure none was more contented than he in his position as salesman for the LaCygne Manufacturing Company. -'Shirley Bays, Marie Smith, Charles VanVlack, Rosalie Hoppe.
