Junior Camelin moved away in our fourth grade and Mary Ann Banning and Bobby Lee Creighton carne. Mary Ann also left that year. Kenneth Mathiasch entered in our fifth grade, as did Patsy Ryan and Betty Wickizer, who moved away shortly thereafter. Bobby Lee Creighton left that year. No one carne or left in our sixth year. Nadine McAllister entered in the seventh grade, Dickie Stanley dropped back and Patsy Ryan moved away. Joyce Ann Mathiasch moved to Kansas City during the sumrner. The eighth grade graduates were: Bonnie Jean Dowell, Shirley Finney, Iris Bauswell, Arm Hoover, Bonnie Lou Van Dyke, Joyce Elaine Winegar, Paul Prewitt, and Bobby Kemper. We entered High School with thirteen pupils: June Allen, Mary Ann Banning, Eddie Bailey, Rayma Lee Barrows, Faith Peacher, Bonnie Jean Dowell, Shirley Finney, Iris Bauswell, Ann Hoover, Joyce Elaine Winegar, and Bonnie Lou Van Dyke. Eddie Bailey dropped out during the year. In our Sophomore year Joyce Ann Mathiasch moved here from Kansas City. In the summer Shirley Finney moved to Linneus.

CLASS PROPHECY by Paul Prewitt and Willard Roberts One sunny afternoon in the summer of 1958, I, Paul Prewitt, after many successful years as a telegrapher, and I, Bud Roberts, after many interesting years as a street cleaner, met for the first time since we had graduated from Laclede High School in 1948. We decided we would buy a rocket plane and visit our old classmates who had moved to many parts of the universe. But first we picked up a couple of girls from our home state, Missouri. After having done this we headed straight for the moon to visit Rayma Lee Barrows. As a high school student Rayma Lee had been a very poor cook, so you can readily see how surprised we were to find her an accomplished dietitian, working to extract a new process of green cheese from the moon. This was to be used in a new wonder drug for the cure of alcholics at the Judd Institute at Newtown, Missouri. Rayma Lee told us that Mr. Judd is also the coach of a basketball team which is made up of ex-patients from the Institute. Next we flew to Krypton, the planet on which Superman lived. There we found Ann Hoover and Bonnie Lou Van Dyke who are the brain specialists. and chiropodist of the Krypton Specialist's Institution. There we left them trying to discover the secret of the Kryptonian's superhuman strength. Hurtling through space at nearly a hundred million miles per hour, the girls becarne airsick, so we decided to make a quick landing on the first planet to which we ca.me. We landed in a wheat field that must have covered several thousands of square miles. There we were surprised when we were greeted by the former June Allen and her husband, Charles Jennings. They informed us that they had been very successful in having discovered a new variety of wheat which would grow only on the planet of Saturn and whose grains were the size of apples. Soon our girls were feeling better, so we again took to the air with our destination being Mars. Having arrived on Mars we found the former Joyce Ann Mathiasch and Iris Bauswell as partnership owners of the largest beauty salon on the planet of Mars, the name of the establishment being ' 'Brammers' We-Fix-It Shoppe They informed us that their husbands had joined the army of Mars, now in- vading the planet Venus, which is inhabited only by women with one exception. Hearing this we decided to leave Mars at once to see how the invasion was progressing. Class Prophecy - Continued. Arriving on Venus we were permitted to visit the capitol of the planet be- cause of our neutrality. Here we were greeted by the Chief of the Armies of Venus, none other than Faith Peacher. She took us to the front lines to observe the progression of the battle. The heat from the rayguns of the battle was gett- ing hot so we decided to leave: however, before we left we found out that the only male character on Venus was Edwin Hunziker. Pluto, the planet of the cowboys and cowgirls, was the next stop on our scheduled trip. When we arrived there we were surprised to meet Joyce Winegar and Patsy Ryan. Patsy now has the title of Queen of the Cowgir1s . We were informed that Joyce now owns a large ranch which is stocked with six rnillion head of cattle. Patsy told us that she had learned her profession in Texas, where she went after graduation from high school. Evening was nearing so we stopped on the Evening Star. There we wit- nessed Bonnie Dowell making her first performance as a Metropolitan Opera singer. Her first number on the prograrn was Goin' Home , which was taught to her by Mrs. Judd back in 1948. Thanks 'to this the number that night proved a success. As we were leaving we saw a red rocket approaching the star. The pilot had on a red shirt and the wording on the license plate was Meadville, Missouri. A Arriving, back in the United States we stopped at a little town in Arkansas named Paduki. While eating our dinner of vitamin pills, we read a magazine in which there was an advertisement on how to acquire a healthy body by breathing Benson's Bottled Fresh-Air . After reading this we recalled the days in high school when we had plenty of fresh air in Miss Benson's classes. After that we decided to call it a day and go home. Here we leave you and your irnagination to your pleasant thoughts. CLASS WILL by Iris Bauswell and Joyce Ann Mathiasch We, the members of the Senior Class of 1948 of Laclede High School, be- ing of sound mind and memory and knowing that we are rising to higher grounds do hereby make our last Will and Testament.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM Friday night, December 19, 1947, the Laclede Public School presented its Christmas program. The program was composed of numbers given by both the high school and grade students. After the program Santa Claus arrived and distributed the gifts. The evening was Enjoyed very much by everyone. HONORS WON AT KIRKSVILLE On April 2 and 3, 1948, special nurnbers by the Laclede High School stu- dents were presented at the district contest at Kirksville, Missouri. Carolyn Prewitt gave a piano solo on Friday and received a II rating. On Saturday the special numbers received the following ratings: solo, Bonnie Dowell, lg Mixed Quartet II3 Boys Quartet, II: Girls Quartet, III: and Sextette, II. Bonnie Dowell, who won a first rating at the contest at Kirksville, is go- ing to Columbia April 30, 1948, to compete in a contest given there. In January the county elementary teachers met at Laclede. The high school chorus entertained them with special numbers at the close of the meeting. Miss Carleta Rauer was the only competitor for the Local Oratorial Con- test. This contest was sponsored by the American Legion. The title of her essa was Our Great American Heritage--Liberty JUNIOR- SENIOR TRIP The Junior-Senior trip planned by the junior class will be May 7, 1948. We will go to Springfield, Illinois, stopping en route at Hannibal, Missouri, to see the boyhood home of Mark Twain, the museurn, and the park in his honor. While in Springfield we will motor out to Petersburg, Illinois, a small village to go through the New Salem Park in honor of Lincoln. Y On September ZZ, 1947, Paul Prewitt lost the distinction of being the only senior boy when Willard Roberts entered from Los Angeles, California. The senior class received their announcements on April 7, 1948. The senior class journeyed to Kirksville to the seventh annual Senior Day at the Teacher College. During the day we were entertained by a very in- teresting talk by Mr. Roe Bartle, an attorney from Kansas City. At noon lunch was served to us in the college cafeteria. In the afternoon we were taken on tours of the campus, saw a play in the Little Theater , and danced in the auditorium. Dick J'oh.nson's orchestra played for the dance. We returned home early in the evening after having spent a very enjoyable day at Northeast Missouri State -Teachers College. This trip was made on April 9, 1948. At the beginning of school the junior class had eighteen members. A new student, Louetta Richardson, came to our class from Linneus. During the year we lost two members, leaving us sixteen. The juniors received their class rings in October. They are a combina- tion of rose, yellow, and white gold. We are very proud of them. This year the junior class had a stand at the basketball games. We sold a large quantity of pop and candy to the crowds, and we appreciated their patronage very much. K3 On September 19, the sophomores supervised Freshman Initiation Day. The girls were dressed as boys and the boys as girls. During the day the soph- omores took the freshmen through the streets and displayed them to the public. This incident was very a.musing. That evening a party was given by the soph- omores. Games were played and refreshments of pop, sandwiches, pickles, and cookies were served. A return party was given to the sophomores about a weeklater. Refresh- ments 'of sandwiches, cookies, potato chips, and pop were served. Games were played and everyone enjoyed hirnself very much. At the beginning of school there were thirteen freshmen. Mary Richards on and Betty Sturtevant were the new members in the class. During the year Lena Mae Davolt moved to Meadville, Ronald Ward moved to Chillicothe, and Pat Herron moved to Moberly. This left us with ten students out of the original thirteen. t LACLEDE PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSICAL PROGRAM Friday, March 19, 1948 7:30 P. M.

SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES Our group consists of seventeen seventh grade pupils, and twelve eighth grade pupils. In the year 1939-1940 seventeen of our group began our education together. We welcomed others one by one, but they soon dropped out. While we face the future, many happy remembrances come back to us of our early school days. We recall our First Grade spelling class when a new pencil for headmarks looked like sticks of gold. We recall our picnics that we looked forward to from year to year, and the moving picturesg the big carnival, which included the funeral of a negro in whose casket we could see our own re- flections. We recall the chilly days and our crowding around the radiators to keep warm. This year we have been busy but happy. We have learned much. We have followed our course of study as outlined for seventh and eighth grades. We have done much research work, have worked many projects, made booklets on agri- culture, science, social study, and music. Our hobbies are craft work, basketball and softball. FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES When school began, there were eleven pupils in the fifth grade and seven- teen pupils in the sixth grade, making a total of twenty-eight pupils. In October we went to Donald Kling's for a wiener 1-past. Everyone had 3 nice time. The refreshments were wieners, buns, pickles, and pop. At Christmas we presented the playet, Toby's Christrnas Box . In the afternoon on the day before Christmas, we had a tree and party in our room. Everyone received a comic book. On Valentine's Day we had a Valentine box. Everyone received a treat of heart shaped cookies and pop. We organized a Missouri Nature Knights Club. This was discontinued dur- ing the winter months and in its place we had gym classes. Everyone in the room read the required number of books this year and will receive Reading Circle Certificates. During the year we lost three of our pupils. Paul and Hardy Rinehart moved to Cameron in November Everett Riddle moved to Brookfield in January, leaving a total of twenty-five pupils. Fifth and Sixth Grades - Continued. Farrell Nickell entered the sixth grade from the South Eagle neighborhood in March. The last day of school will be celebrated with a picnic and some kind of entertaimnent, depending on the weather. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES During the year 1947-1948 there were a total of eleven pupils in the third grade. Leland Potter moved to Mendon, and Nelson Nickell moved to Laclede from Brookfield and joined the third grade. The fourth grade consisted of four girls and eleven boys, making a total of fifteen pupils. The fourth grade science class has enjoyed the study of Great Men of our History . The third grade spent much time studying about people in other coun- tries. Only a few pupils in the room failed to earn the Reading Circle Certificate. Quite a number of pupils received awards in writing. Some were awarded certif- icates from the National Board of Examiners. The art classes dressed dolls, did paper folding, studied clay modeling, soap carving, and puppet making. Pictures were made using crayon, colored chalk, and finger paint. Some of the pupils took part in a finger painting demonstration at the tea- cher's meeting. At the Christxnas program all of the pupils presented the play, Christrnas is for Every One As usual a delightful tirne was spenton Valentine's Day exchanging Valen- tines. Some tirne was spent in choral reading and everyone enjoyed the music period. Get-to-gether meetings with the primary room were continued. A Good Friday prograrn was given. S Scarlet fever and some other diseases interrupted work for several weeks. Along with the regular scheduled work, those principles which make a good character were stressed each day. FIRST AND SECOND GRADES When school began in September 1947, there were eleven pupils in the first grade, and ten in the second grade. In a few weeks Junior Hill moved away, leav- ing ten pupils in the first grade. Later in the year, Paul Ogle entered the second grade, making eleven pupils in that grade. The total enrollrnent for the year has been twenty-two pupils. The pupils in both grades have been good workers. The first graders have read ten pre-primers, primers, and first readers. Most of them have re- ceived Reading Circle Certificates. They especially enjoyed drarnatizing stories that they have read in their readers. They also liked working in their workbooks, as these could be taken home when they were completed. The second graders have read eight readers 3 most of them have read the required number of books so that they will continue to be members of the Pupils Reading Circle. Spelling has been fun in the s-pelling classes of broth grades. The pupils of the first grade have tried to see who could get the most headmarks: while the goal of the second graders has been to get one hundred on every test. Much of the language work in both grades has been oral. The second grade pupils, however, have learned to write simple sentences, friendly letters, short stories, and to use capital letters and punctuation marks. Both the grades have completed the work in their arith.metic workbooks, in their textbooks, and much drill work upon the numbervcombinations. The pupils took part in the Christmas prograrn, and other programs that were given during the year. They have really enjoyed the pictures that have been shown every two weeks, and have learned many things from them. The children were delighted when Mr. Shultz visited the primary room. The religious pictures shown by him have brought both knowledge and pleasure to the little folks. One of the pleasantest tixnes of the day was the music period when Mrs. Judd taught new songs or games, or reviewed those that have been previously taught. During the second semester Miss Adarns taught writing in the primary room. Many of the pupils received pins for satisfactory writing from the A. N. Palmer Company. By means of stories, pictures, poetry, nature study, biography, etc. an attempt has been made to teach the children the love of the beautiful in life. The pupils have partially learned to work and play together happily and peaceably so that as they grow older they will make better, happier citizens in the world of to- morrow.

I will strive to make Best Better. Foremost among the ideals which have characterized our school life this year is the spirit of self reliance. ln our history we have searched for records and stories of men who symbolize those ideals. We have found that these men displayed the chief characteristics of the Axnerican people. Our motto has been the spirit of self-reliance as Emerson expressed it: We will walk on our own feet: we will work with our own hands: we will speak our own minds. From our study we have been made to feel that each one of us has a special obligation in order that we may help to continue this proud record of self-reliance Douglas School - Continued. The young citizen who relies on himself, who does honest work in school fnever cheating or shirkingj, who is always ready to do a little more than is actually required of him, who thinks of himself, acts rightly because he loves right actiong is doing his part in helping to achieve this ideal of self-reliance. Our programs at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hallowe'en were enjoyed with the parents. On Valentine's Day we had a big party and at Easter time we had an egg hunt. 1 We looked forward to Rev. Frank A. Shults' visits to our school with many religious pictures and Bible stories. We also took advantage of his traveling library and borrowed several books which were read and reported on. Several have read the required number of books and will receive a Pupil's Reading Circle Certiiicate. Last year we were invited by Park School in Brookfield to take a trip with them to Kansas City. We spent the day at Swope Park and enjoyed other places of interest. i This year we plan to visit our state capital, and an interesting sight seeing trip is anticipated. l :1 STL 53, WA L S W O R T H Liihnquplud G Bound by WALSIOHTH BROTHERS lueolhn, lla., U.
