Since then Miss Middick has been typically representative of I-aramic High. She was senior advisor in 1936, 1938, 1940. 1941, and in 1942. Each year was a record of her success and of the admiration of the thousands who have l asscd through the school’s portals. Miss Biddick was especially adored by students in her class room. Her manner was personal, quiet, and unassuming. A definite impartialism. and a greeting smile prevailed unfailing in the atmosphere of her serviceful life. From her room on third lloor, many bits of her wisdom and personality formed fixed jxarts in the minds of her students. Her | assing was synonymous to her everyday life. Miss Middick left us quietly in her regular, peaceful manner. Her absence has been keenly felt. In the rest of our lives, her principles and ideals should l)e an example for higher living, broader minds, and pleasing personalities. kdxa mnnit'K UNIVERSITY or WYOMING. H.A.

Although Chuck was able to begin the year with his classmates, illness caused him to drop school early in Octolicr. Not only was he active in school affairs, repre- senting his class on the student council from the time he entered the seventh grade, and maintaining a high scholastic record: but he was outstanding in sports, lettering in footl all. basketball, and track. To all who knew Chuck, his jtersonality emliodied a rare combination of cajxibility, quietness, and friendliness. He was the boy with the winning smile, the pleasing jiersonality, one who always had time to stop and say Hello.” He was respected and revered by teachers and students alike, and was a fine inspiration for all who knew him. The entire school will long rememlier the pleasure of Chuck's presence and miss him. 3 A. A. Slade, Superintendent J. E.

SENIORS' HISTORY (Continued from Page $) accomplishments, a number of juniors were initiated into National Thespians. Praise is also due to those who were responsible for a most successful candy selling program. In helping to make a successful year in the social field, the class sponsored several nickelodeon dances and set the stage for the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance, a colorful affair brightened by variegated patches, pigtails, and old clothes in general. Here, Arnie Jones won first prize for the most comical boy’s outfit and Verna Harness for the girl’s. Instigating a novel idea, the juniors decided to honor the seniors at a banquet in the Activity Room preceding the Prom.

This year they have made rapid progress under the able leadership of their class officers selected at the beginning of the school year. Officers chosen were Hob Bums, president; Mildred Rains, vice- president: Elsie Jo May, treasurer; Rosie Kawa- bata, secretary: Nancy Foreman and Ted Barry, student council members. Miss Marcella Avery heads the class and their officers as their sponsor. Fourteen girls in the junior class have taken an active part in the Girl’s Athletic Association this year. They arc Bernice Irene, Betty Atkinson, Mar- garet Coomcs, Alma Rubeling, Vera Grooman. Mar- garet Eads. Betty Topham, Pat Patterson, Grace Weddle, Viola Caldon, Edna Larson, Betty Kunkel, Bertha Allen, and Darlene Brown. Many of the juniors take an active part in Thes- pians, and several girls are members of the Glee Club. The Junior Sextette has appeared in public many times. They also sang over the radio station KFBC and at the Wranglers’ annual amateur hour capturing second place. The Sextette consists of Bonnie Davidson. Elsie Jo May.

Calling Laramie High! 13ms REPORT comes to you from the war-torn sophomore class. This year the greatest part of the class’ work has centered around the high school’s cooperation with the war effort. In the all-school Stamp and Bond drive the sophomores took second place in a close race, and each individual contributed greatly in city-wide scrap drives. In the fall, the class elected Gordon Kellogg, president; Bob Fricdgan, vice-president; Julianne White, secretary; Perry Clay, treasurer; Barbara Fluty and John I amarche, student council members. John Lamarche and Bob Fricdgan moved from Lar- amie and were replaced by Glen Stickley and Mar- jorie Snow in the second semester. Representatives from the sophomore class were found active in Glee Club, Thespians, Choral Speak- ing, Art Club, Home Ec Club, F. F. A., F. T. A., band, orchestra, Wranglers, G. A. A., and, last, but not least, sports. Tim O’Grady, Tommy Craven, Earl Caldon, Dean Logan, and Romero Sanchez captured the heavyweight division of the inter-class basketball tournament. With the Freshman-Sophomore Dance, the soph- omore social highlights were begun. Completing the social activities, a sweater hop was enjoyed by the class on March 26. Two assemblies were sponsored by the sophomore class. A quiz program was pre- sented, and at the second assembly Mrs. Aloha Baker, traveler and lecturer, spoke and showed in- teresting films on India. Winning many honors under the able sponsor- ship of Miss Ora Smith, the sophomores have com- pleted a very successful year. SOPHOMORE BOYS Top Row: BUI Cnizen, To® Craven. Ed Murray. Robert Orlcaca.

So say about 165 fresh- men, anyway. During the year Handsome Bob” Quisenberry served as president. The vice-president was “De- lectable Donna Carroll. Mary Ann Foreman, who knows how to write, was elected secretary. That curly-headed wizard of finance, Sam Allen, pumped forty-some dollars into the treasury. Members of the student council were Janet Forbes and L. V. Wyatt. As class sponsor. D. S. Costello has aged at least ten years since September. The freshmen were active along the lines: social, athletic, and scholastic. In October they enjoyed a dance with the sophomores: in March, a freshman party: and in May. a class picnic. At football and l askctl all games they were tre- mendously vocal. And the class roster includes many young athletes who promise glorious chapters. Why not another Kenny Sailors? The freshmen have their intellectuals, too. Twenty-two members regularly made three or four one’s. The Class of ’46 is well stocked with “personali- ties”—Louise Muller reads Tolstoy in her lighter moments. Don Thompson is a mastermind at chess. Cherubic Mary Newsom manipulates a gargantuan vocabulary. In a class questionnaire Mary Ann Foreman received most votes for more honors. Joyce Black and Bill Brcslin were voted “the most musical,” and Frank Morgan the “l cst dancer.” Bill Taylor was cited for his sense of humor; Charles Sanchez and Gene Benson, for athletic prowess. Glamor gals” were Shirley Cordiner, Donna Car- roll, Renee Ingram. Ruth Williams, and Betty Rucli. All in all. what a class, these Forty-Sixers!

EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY Billy Gordon and Lloyd Marts T3iie CLASS OF 1947 began its second year. 1942-43, with 168 members enrolled. At the election held in September the following class officers were chosen: Lloyd Marts, president: Billy Gordon, vice-president; Mary Mortenson, sec- retary; Mary Atkinson, treasurer; Mrs, Myrtle Gloyd is the very enthusiastic sponsor of the group. I-ast year this class won the School Spirit Cup” iu a contest of good citizenship which was con- ducted by the “Plainsman Herald staff. This year the eighth graders have had two dances held on November 20 and February 12. The present work of the class is trying to raise enough money to have a good movie on our assembly date which is April 21. In an all-school contest held for selling War Bonds ami Stamps which was sponsored by the Hoti’s Harem Club, the eighth grade ranked third. One of the eighth grade boys, Billy Gordon, was among the four students of the high school who re- ceived an airplane ride to Cheyenne and back as a reward for their individual sales of War Bonds and Stamps. Members of the class have taken part in the one-act plays and Specialty programs given by the Step Ahead Dramatics Club. They have jxjsitions in both bands and the orchestra. The members reg- ularly hold their share of the number of students listed on the term honor rolls. This class moves into its third year with a goal of improvement and earning more honors.

Enrolled in the class were around 180 students. As a result of the class election, Barbara Baker was named president; Charlotte Walker was chosen vice-president; Eugene Hittncr was elected secre- tary; Donald Widner, treasurer; and Shirley Mor- tenson and Douglas Bird became student council members. Mr. O. C. Rogers is the class adviser. The class presented a movie assembly February 10. The picture chosen was “The Construction of Boulder Dam.” It was very interesting and instruc- tive. In their bond sales drive, I iramic High sold more tlian any school in the state. The seventh grade participated in this. They sold $560 worth. During the year dances have been given for the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. I� arge crowds attended these dances. Seventh grade members of the junior dramatics club took part in programs and plays for their par- ents and the faculty. These plays and programs were arranged and directed by Miss Wymore, spon- sor of the club. The attendance at each was very good. A good representation from the class is found among the members of the B Band: eight members arc in A Band. SEVENTH GRADE GIRLS To � Row: Joan Dewey, Banjo Pa- ■lilla.

It pA' t ★ NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Bktty Iwatsuki T THE commencement exercises in the spring of 1942, seven top-ranking juniors were elected to National Honor Society. These were Eleanor Knight, Jean Hall. Betty Iwatsuki, Bill Eads, Bob McKay, Willis Jensen, and Boh Wagner. Usually the number of girls exceeds the muul cr of boys elected to this society; but in this instance, the number of boys was greater. Eleanor Knight was elected president; Bob McKay, vice-president; Jean Hall, secretary; and Willis Jensen, treasurer, for the year. The annual initiation ceremony for seniors elected to the National Honor Society was held on March 17. 1943. The ceremony was conducted by three of the initial members, the others having graduated at the end of the first semester. The program, under the guidance of Miss Jessie Roulston. was opened by lean Hall. Betty Iwatsuki then explained the sig- nificance of the four cardinal principles of the society; Bob Wagner explained the (laming torch and the colors. The new members, Norma Welker, Mar- garet Bums, Patricia Hanson. Gordon Myers. Mary Louise Popp, Colleen Man full, Peggy Reusscr, Don Hartman. Marilyn Murphy, Elsie Jo May, and Lorian Taylor, who were chosen on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, character, and service, were calleri to the plat- form. The pledge was taken with all mcml crs holding lighted candles. Pins and membership cards were presented to new memliers, and the welcome speech was given by Jean Hall.

The University High School was invited to many of these shows. Upon the death of Chuck Hcgclwald, Ted Barry was elected vice-president. No other senior was elected to fill Chuck’s place in the Council. An after-school mixer was held in April. The proceeds were donated to the Junior Red Cross. STUDENT COUNCIL 8nM: Llllta� OM .

The chief aim of the council is the maintenance of good citizenship in the high school. This year the perennial fun of public initiation by the organi- zations caused the group to take a stand against such initiations during school time as tl� ey are dis- rupting. The council recommended that no costumes or placards are to lie worn by initiates. All initia- tions are to be held during the club meetings. The officers of the Student Council were Nancy Foreman, president: Charles Hegewald. vice-presi- dent; and Lillian O’Dea, secretary. Miss Sargent was named sponsor. Throughout the year the Student Council se- lected and managed the showing of several full- TO REMEMBER HEN THE ART Group asked Miss Biddick to make a statement about the value of good citizen- ship. she gave them a ] taper containing the following paragraph which we might carry with us in striving toward that goal: Good citizenship must be lived rather than learned. Yet without learning the truths, which inspired the founders of our nation, and the facts about our government and our relation to it, living il becomes a thing of chance. We may act rightly by accident, but we arc far more likely to do so if we are equipped with the information which will help us to reason and judge what is best Each of us has a place in the life of his community, and the community will reach its possibilities only as each member of it reaches up to his opportunities for service and achievement. tl A-BAND PERSONNEL CLARINETS— Raymond Wt elcr, Cooec-rt matter Hetty Klein Mary Brtslin Pfeffilp Trumbull Mlldrrd Ransom Robert Rich Charlm Rantom Gcorve Mile Kenneth MargttU Kenneth Hofferber Marlin Lowry Roy Haya FLUTE8— Lola Ann Clary Mary Cordon 1TCCOLO— Mary Lou Johnson Kb CLARINET— Reth laberc HORNS- Mary 0.

Pt«h w ITH A NEARLY complete instrumentation, the sixty-five piece Laramie High Band, under the direction of A. O. Wheeler, has made several public appearances during the past school year. Playing at all home football and basketball games, the band furnished lively and rousing music, cheer- ing the team and student body on to the final goal. The band also attended the Cheyennc-I.aramie foot- ball game November u, in Cheyenne, and performed at the Wyoming-Utah University Homecoming foot- ball game. Taking part in several parades for pep rallies, bond drives, and political rallies, the color bearers and color guard were used for the first time this year. The addition lent color and dignity to the api earance of the unit on parade. On February 22, the band gave its annual con- cert with a Victory motif, and during Music Week they performed in the bandshcll at Washington Park. Both of the concerts featured the outstanding in- dividual players, and the programs included solos, sextets, quartets, and duets. The other perform- ances where the band played as a group were at the County Teachers’ Conference, and at various school assemblies throughout the entire school year.

DRUMS— Dorothy llutnr Delon-� Bird On SEVERAL occasions during the past school year, the Laramie High School A-Orchestra has had an opportunity of performing before the public, pre- senting a group of standard, well-known selections. From the thirty-seven piece group, two smaller units were formed, a saxophone quartet and a string en- semble. These groups played for the various clubs and organizations of the city. Besides furnishing music for the class plays, the orchestra gave an unusual VICTORY CONCERT, March 9. Completing the activities of the year, the A-Orchestra played for the baccalaureate and com- mencement exercises. The many performances were led by Mr. A. O. Wheeler, and under his directorship the aim of the group was accomplished; that f bringing good music to the school and community. A-BAND (Con finned from Page 22) Several of the group's membership performed individually or in duets and quartets. They played for the various clubs, churches, and lodges of the city, as well as for banquets, class plays of the school, and meetings of the Parent-Teachers’ Association. The Laramie Loyal Order of Moose Lodge, No. 300, presented the band and school with a Band Flag. This flag, for which the band and school are most appreciative, symbolizes the spirit of Laramie High School—“Results, not Excuses.” With this thought in mind another year with the I ramie High Band finishes with a climax, a year to be remembered in the music activities of the school. ★ DANCE ORCHESTRA PERSONNEL FIRST 8AX0PHONE— I o U Coppl 8BC0XD 8AXOPHOXE- Kaymotul Wtx«lcr THIRD SAXOPHOXK- Rirfianl Farrell FOURTH SAXOPHOXK— Shirley Vr «� T troii bom:— Robert Ohnhau� MASS HORN- Max Smith DRUMS- Jack Uovejo?

The Dance Orchestra furnished music for several of the dances after basketball games, and s| onsored two dances of their own. The high spot of the year’s activities was the Hill Billy Costume Ball and Floor Show given by the band and orchestra. New equipment was bought for the Dance Or- chestra this year, consisting of modern portable music stands, individual stand lights, and music folios. From the money earned by playing for va- rious entertainments, the group kept up its library of the latest hit parade tunes, as well as standard stock. Since memliership in the Dance Orchestra is granted only to those who participate in the regular Band and Orchestra, the group is comprised of practiced musicians. The thirteen members have made a fine advancement this year, and have helped make dances more enjoyable by their contribution. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page IS) sidered one of the snappiest productions of the year. It was a unique and clever comedy, and brought wide acclaim to the junior class. The play was under the able and competent direction of Miss Dorthea Kneppcr. Without a doubt the most outstanding achieve- ment of the junior class during the year was that of placing first in the Bond and Stamp drive in the high school which lasted over a jx-riod of two weeks. The juniors sold more United States War Bonds and Stamps than any other class; and in turn I.ara- mie High School sold more l onds and stamps than any other high school in the nation. The juniors arc very proud of this accomplishment and have been doing their | art since that time toward helping in the war effort. I-ce Burrows, a junior, sold more bonds and stamps than «lid any other individual in school. This brings to a close the activities of the junior class up-to-date, but there is much more in store— such things as the Junior Prom and other activities. So we, the Class of ’44. advance toward our final year in our beloved school and continue as proud citizens working for the victory of our wonderful America. Long may it live! ii If GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Is THE SCHOOL year of 1943 closes, the girls in Glee Club look l ack over a busy and eventful year under the sponsorship of Miss Esther Ann Nickelsen. Sixteen new members were added to the thirty-two retained from last year. Initiation for new members was held with a buffet supper in the Activity Room. Lillian O’Dca was elected president and I)oris Jo- hansen, secretary-treasurer. The first public performance was a program for the County Teachers' meeting in the high school auditorium on October 2. A junior sextet was or- ganized, including Mildred Rains, Bonnie Kilzer. Elsie Jo May, Bonnie Davidson, Xannettc Roseberry. and Ellen Sackctt, which contributed to many pro- grams throughout the year. On November 6, the entire group sang for the Junior Red Cross assembly. To help do their j art in the Red Cross Drive, the girls sponsored a Win- ter Carnival’’ on Deceml er 5, at which time Bonnie Kilzer was chosen snow queen. The proceeds of the dance were given to the Junior Red Cross, and a lamp was purchased for the hospital at Fort War- ren. On December 10, the group entertained the Rotary Club with Christmas music at the Connor Hotel; and on December 22 they entertained the Kiwanis Club there. On the evening of December 21, the Girls’ Glee Club and the Girls’ Chorus com- bined to give a Christmas Victory program. In January, an octet was organized to be spon- sored by the Kiwanis Club. These girls were Joyce Black, Julie McConnell, June Walsh, Mary Ann Foreman, Orva Mae Hoefs, Marion Hspach, Agnes Burns, and Madeline I’ctrides. On January 12, the girls entertained their mothers at their annual tea. Red roses were given to the mothers as favors. The thrill of the year came on February 3, when the Glee Club was invited to sing over the radio. They broadcast over KBFC from the University studio. February 16, the entire group sang for a s] ecial assembly, with the Kiwanis Club as guests. On March 12, the girls invited their boy friends to a Sweater Hop in St. Patrick’s Day theme. Another outstanding event was the Glee Club Assembly on April 7. Group numbers were pre- sented, and ten girls sang solos in a very creditable manner: Ellen Sackctt, Mildred Rains. Elsie Jo May. Nannctte Roseberry. June Walsh, Orva Mae Hoefs, Nora June England, Marion Del.and. Joyce Black, and Juliannc White. One girl, Doris Johansen, receives her four year award, five girls receive three year awards, and about twenty girls receive pins for two year awards. The group is contributing music for Music Week, baccalaureate, and commencement. GLEE CLUB 5°ftuR ir,L Loot Julianne Whit� . Vt ty Hitchcock. Jun, Uaith. Dor� Johar-.cn, Lillian O'Dea.

CHORAL SPEAKING James Forbes 3hE CURTAIN draws back, and reveals in full V-formation the nine untlinching rhetoricians of the choral speaking choir. One—two—three—and the prophetic words of “Listen to the People” fill the auditorium. From America we are taken back twenty-five years to the battlefields of France, laugh- ing at the amusing exploits of General Pershing in “Pershing at the Front.” We then go out west with the Sioux Indians in the rhythmic clap of “Cotton- wood Leaves.” With Tumbling Mustard” and “Plantation Ditty,” one of the eight programs of the choral speaking class comes to a close. Besides these five selections, the class learned about fifteen others. Among these was a novel and tuneful poem, “Give Us Books, written by Peggy Reusser for the Red Cross Victory Book Drive. The choir’s one engagement the first semester was at the L. D. S. Institute. The second semester, how- ever, the choir made seven appearances, performing at the P.-T. A. Founders’ Day program, the L. D. S. Institute, the Lincoln School, the Fox Theatre, the P.-T. A., a regular assembly, and at the Kiwanis Assembly. The remnant of the speaking choir that parti- ci| ated in the State Speech Festival at Rawlins was unexpectedly called upon for a | erformance. The result was an unseasoned rendition of “Strictly Germ-Proof,” which, in spite of, or because of, ev- erything, was well received. An unusual feature of the choir this year was the fact that the boys outnumbered the girls three to one. Ordinarily the girls have a slight majority. FORENSICS Peggy Reusser ARLY ON THE morning of April 10, five hope- ful forensic students left Laramie for Rawlins to take part in the State Speech Festival. Though the weather was cold and rainy, the five—James Forbes, Richard Nelson, Ted Barry, Dorothy Solomon, and Peggy Reusser—were excited at the prospect of at- tending the meet. With high hopes they marched into the contest, and although they did not walk away with winning honors, they made a fine reputa- tion for themselves, and experienced the pride of a job well done. The highest honor was won by James Forbes who placed first in Contest oratorical declamation and third in Contest original oratory. Entering or- iginal oratory in the Festival bracket, Richard Nel- son copped third place. Ted Barry rated third in Contest poetry reading, while Peggy Reusser and Dorothy Solomon rated second and third respectively in the Festival bracket of poetry. Peggy Reusser also won third place in both Contest dramatic decla- mation and Contest humorous declamation. After a day packed with excitement, the contes- tants and their coach. Miss Linford, were honored at a banquet given by the Rawlins High School. They returned to I«aramie the following afternoon. it March 19, the American Legionnaires were roused in Casper by seven hopeful orators holding forth on “Wake Up America.” Jim Forbes had won the local contest held here March 14, in which George Hultz placed second and Richard Nelson and Gordon Myers tied for third place. Jim Forbes copped fourth place in the State Contest. THESPIAN CLUB Margaret Burns and Pat Harison OHE AUDITORIUM lights are dimmed, tl� c crowd ceases their chatter, and the curtain rises on another year with the Thespian Club of Laramie High School. In the fall the club presented the three-act com- edy, “Ever Since Eve,” one of the snappiest plays ever produced by high school students. The popu- lar theme “male versus female,” was the underlying plot. Keeping in line with the December war stamp drive, the Thespian Club and Glee Club presented a Christmas program to which a defense stamp was the admission. At the P.-T. A. Founders’ Day program, the club gave a one-act play, Pioneers Forever,” a drama depicting the progress of the American peo- ple through the years. Climaxing a year of good entertainment, the Thespians presented their spring round of one-act plays. Orville’s Big Date,” headed the program; a story of how sixteen-year-old Orville outwitted his scheming sisters. The next plays were “Gray Bread,” a drama l� a.scd on the proverb, Better eat gray bread in your youth than in your age,” and “What Grandmothers Know,” a sentimental comedy of the 1890s. Concluding the one-act productions was “Be Home by Midnight,” a domestic comedy of the Jones family. The highest honor attained by a Thespian is the earning of the eight-jewel pin. Those seniors quali- fying were Willis Jensen, Margaret Burns, Bob Mc- Kay, Gordon Myers, Colleen Manfull, Peggy Reus- ser, Maurine Smith, Robert Wagner, George Hultz, Donald Hartman, and Edgar Reeves; while two juniors, Bonnie Davidson and James Forbes earned the award. Recognition for outstanding achieve- ment, best Thespian of 1942-43 was given to Mar- garet Bums. Winding up the year of dramatic effort, the fol- lowing were initiated into National Thespians: Col- leen Carroll. Perry Clay, James Forbes. Bonnie Kil- zer, Peggy Hitchcock, Bernice Irene, Ellen Sackett. Phyllis Byers, Bobby Jean Chisholm. Bill Soule, Bob Wilson, Gertrude Butschcr, Georgia Collins, Bar- bara Fluty, Sylvia Morrill, Ivina Royer, Marjorie Snow, June Walsh, Marvin Willard, Barbara Ing- ham, Carolyn Miller, Maeilenc Morgan, and Leon Babcock. At the last meeting of the year, officers for the coming school year were chosen. Perry Clay was elected president; Bonnie Davidson, vice-president; and Sylvia Morrill, secretary-treasurer. With this the curtain falls on another year with the Thespian Club, and the thearc-going public of Laramie go out into the Wyoming night, commenting on the performances of the year. n THESPIAN PLAY ★ SENIOR CLASS PLAY Peggy Rkusser jOoWN THROUGH the centuries it ltas been common knowledge to the so-called stronger and more intelligent half of our earth's inhabitants— man—that their weaker and more fragile compan- ions have one outstanding fault—the inability to make up their minds. So when a woman does make up her mind, it is a great occasion, an event of the times; and a great event it was that took place in form of the Senior Class Play, “Yes and No.” Un- der the direction of Miss Louise Hilsabcck, the three-act farce was presented March 26, 1943. Written by Kenneth Horne, the play was one of the most unique and unusual types ever presented on the Laramie High stage. The comedy had two acts and an epilogue, each act consisting of two scenes. Act I tells what might have happened if Jo had said ‘‘No.” The second act tells what might have happened if Jo had said Yes, and the epi- logue shows what really happened. The setting is the living room of an Upper Wer- ton Rectory in Somerset. Reverend Richard Jar- row (Bob Wagner) is the absent-minded, hopelessly forgetful type, with a benign personality and an air of vagueness and preoccupation. His wife (Col- leen Manfull) is a faded, well-meaning, tactless woman who lives in a state of hopeless disorganiza- tion. Their two daughters. Joanna (Maeilene Mor- gan and Sallv (Peggy Reusscr) also have vague and preoccupied manners. Mrs. Webb, the house- keeper (Maureen Smith) is forever exas| eratcd at the disorderly family. Act I, Scene I finds the family discussing the forthcoming arrival of Adrian Marsh (Jimmy Clay) a friend of the family who is stopping to say good- by on his way to Persia. The entire family expect him to ask Jo to marry him. which lie does, but is promptly refused. Scene H shows Adrian propos- ing to Sally whom he has loved all the time. Sally accepts his offer when, to his amazement. Jo sud- denly decides to marry him after all. Adrian, how- ever, relieves himself in a diplomatic way. but the situation is further complicated when Bagshott. the curate (Wilbur West) confesses his love for Jo. knowing he should not because lie has an under- standing with Sally. At the end of Act I. however. Adrian and Sally and Bags and Jo are together. Act II repeats the same action as Act I up to the time of the proposal, but this time Jo says Yes.” The action becomes complicated when Jo is stubborn about the engagement and the scene ends in a hilarious uproar with Mr. Jarrow beseeching the en- gaged couple “to beautify the sacred state of Holy Wedlock!” Scene II takes place the following afternoon with everything in a state of utter confusion because Jo cannot decide upon anything for the wedding. Adrian, completely exasperated by Jo’s manner of disconccm, finally discovers he loves Sally, and like- wise Bags finds he loves Jo. The epilogue, which shows what really happened, begins as did Acts I and II. Adrian, however, has come to propose to Sally, not to Jo, and as the final curtain is lowered Adrian and Sally, and Bags and Jo tenderly embrace, and they lived happily ever after. Step-A-Head Dramatics Club IJnder ' I'HE sponsorship of Miss Wymorc, the Step-A-Hcad Dramatics Club was organized in the fall of 1941. The club consists of any persons in the seventh, eighth, or ninth grades who arc interested in some form of dramatic work. Organizing for the year in September, 1942, the club planed its activities and elected officers. Betty Lou Thompson won the presidency, and the vice- president chosen was Dorothy Ann Bouck. Evelyn Syler was elected for the position of secretary. The activities of the group during the past year have been varied and entertaining. In November the organization gave an evening program for their parents, friends, and classmates. The entertainment consisted of four one-act plays which were well re- ceived by the audience. Providing enjoyment and for everyone, an informal party was held last De- cember for the club members and their guests. The group again presented several more plays and solo numbers this spring in an evening entertainment for friends and parents of club members. A one- act play was also given for the Parent-Teachers’ Association of the Stanton School. Ending the year’s activities and bringing to a close a very successful season, the club gave an in- formal party on April 22. Junior Class Play Bonnie Davidson and James Forbes ©HE CREAM OF the high school, the juniors, presented their annual class play November 21, Pro- fessor, How Could You.” Under the able direction of Miss Dorothea Knepper, it was one of the high- lights of the season in school dramatics. Kicliard Del.and portrayed Grandpa Perry, an old, retired fanner, and Bobby Jean Chisholm, his wife, a sweet, gray-haired old lady. James Forbes played the part of Keats Perry, a young professor at a well-known college, whose bane and only prob- lem was Vicky Randolf (Bonnie Davidson) who added spice and romance to the play. Arthur Albert played John Appleby, an old school friend of Vicky’s, who stole many laughs trying to be helpful in getting Keats a wife so that he could become dean of the college. Bernice Irene as Pricilla Morely, Ellen Sackctt as Valaric Whit- man. and Edna I .arson as Tootsie Bean, ably filled the parts of the three girls who were chosen by (Continued on Page 33) STEP-A-HEAD DRAMATICS CLUB IVont Row: Ethel Hum .

Williams, the club, consisting of fifteen advanced shorthand students, elected Margaret Burns, president: Peggy Reusser, vice-president: anti Marilyn Murphy, sec- retary-treasurer. The purpose of the club was to secure a more thorough knowledge of commercial occupations and to help in I.aramie 1 ligh's war effort. Hoti. the club's namesake, is familiar to all com- mercial students as the banker who collects a nickel from all pupils who chew gum in the typing room. At intervals this money is put into war stamps. Hoti's Harem was the first and only Victory Corps in Laramie High, and held the title of Production Service. The girls lyegan their busy year by sponsoring a contest for the sale of stamps and bonds, in which every class in high school competed. The contest, which began on that memorable anniversary. Decem- ber 7, 1942, continued through January 7. 1943, and reached a grand total of $38.700.00 worth of bonds and stamps sold. The junior class, taking top honors Pnsn. Mjrujrvt Rum , KUln Prtrblc� .

Another undertaking by the club was the making of a scrapbook showing what I .aramie high had done for the war effort. The scrapbook, which won first place in the state scrapbook contest, was made by Margaret Bums. Peggy Reusser. Mildred Harlowe. and Marilyn Murphy. The club also made duffle bags for the Junior Red Cross, bookmarks for the veterans’ hospital in Cheyenne, and packed port- folios as Christmas gifts for our fighting forces. On April 14 the club joined with the F. T. A. in giving an assembly. A “Bomb Tokyo” campaign was instigated by Mr. Thayer on April 1, with a goal of $30.000.00 worth of bonds and stamps to be sold. Each class took off from San Francisco, and when $5.000.00 bad been obtained, it reach Tokyo. For each $100 bond receipt, one bomb was dropped on this fair city. Soon the goal of $30,000.00 had been passed, so a new goal of $50.000.00 was set. With this con- test running to the end of the school year. May 14. it will lie a fight to the finish with the sophomores and freshmen in particular bidding for top bombing honors.

Four girls make Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists, on April 8. Colleen Manfull, Peggy Reusser, Mary Ix uise Popp, and Maureen Smith won the honor. To become a journalistic star, each girl must have the following qualities: “Honesty, enthusiasm, initiative, indefatigability, and subservience.” Each girl had held every position on “The Plainsman Herald” staff, from editor to typist. Their averages of printed column inches ranged from 100 to 250. Each also ranked in the up| cr third of the senior class. The girls tripjied off down to the Connor Hotel for dinner and initiation. After a luscious meal. Marilyn Smith and Elaine Smith, class of ’42. read the ideals and hopes of Quill and Scroll and pre- sented cards and little gold pins to each initiate. Mrs. Trautewig. with her charming manner, and Miss Linford, a captivating conversationalist, were the very attentive audience. QUILL AND SCROLL lYSKy RrtiMwr. Colleen Manfull. Mauwti Smith.

Cap- tained by Marguerite O'Grady, the Blue team was made up of Stella Collins, Bertha Allen, Maxine Rosser, Mary Lou Ryan, and Margaret Coomes. Each girl on the winning team received 125 points and each girl on the losing team received 100 points. The captain of the Red team was Betty Atkinson, and Vera Groman was captain of the White team. To receive points girls may participate in volley- ball, basketball, color tournament, baseball, darts, hiking, skating, and bicycling. Senior members earning 1,000 points receive a letter and loving cup. For the G. A. A. assembly, the girls held an am- ateur hour. Solos, tap dancing, accordion solos, and acrobatics were the main attraction of the assembly. Then came the high sj ot of the G. A. A. Basket- ball was again the main attraction. The preliminary for the L. H. S.-Rock Springs game was a clash between the teams of Maureen Smith and Margaret Coomes. After a knockdown and a dragout, the score ended 27-29 in favor of Margaret Coomes’ team. Participating in the basketball tournament were Phoebe Norton’s team; Betty Atkinson’s team; Maxine Rosser's team; and Marguerite O’Grady’s team. Ending the season with baseball, the Girls’ Athletic Association had a very successful year. TRACK Vartkbs Barsam ITH THE coming of spring, I iramie High sports’ attention turned toward track. The annual interclass track meet was held on Thursday, April 15, at the University track field. With a fine turnout and a great deal of enthusiasm, the meet started with the running of the 220-yard sprint, won by Jack Burke. In a battle of endur- ance in running the mile, Richard Farrell won by a one-second time advantage. Ray Butcher won the 880-yard run by a large margin. The 50- and 100- yard dashes were won by Bill Traynor. Clark Al- len, a junior, won the half-mile with time to spare. In the field events. Warren Wallace, took high Itonors in the discus throwing event. Cal Williams won the high jump, but no attempt was made by him to try for a record jump. The pole vault was won by Gail Fluty, and the last event, the broad jump, was won by Bill Macsc. A state track meet will not be held this year be- cause of war conditions; however, an invitational meet is scheduled to l e held in Cheyenne, in which some of Laramie's tracksters will complete.

Both teams were right on their toes and at the end of the fourth quarter the score was tied 23-23. Then in a thrilling over- time period, Perry Stockton came through with a basket to give Laramie the ball game, 25-23. Another outstanding game was the one played at Cheyenne. For a while it looked as though the Indians were going to scalp the Plainsmen, but Cheyenne made a few quick baskets to come to the front by several points. With only a few seconds to play Ted Rogers tipped in a basket to make the score 35-34. At an all-school assembly, All-American Kenny Sailors and Jimmy Collins, former I.aramie High basketball stars and members of the World Cham- pion Cowboy basketball team, presented members of the L. H. S. team their awards for the basketball season. Gail Fluty, George Collins, Rex Brown, Cal Wil- liams, and Bob Burns received sweaters for this year’s work. Having received sweaters in their freshman year Ted Rogers, Bill Macsc, Perry Stock- ton, Bob Diegelman, Bob Wagner, and Gordon No- witzki received letters. Laramie High is certainly proud of the record the team and their coach, Mr. Foreman, brought to the school. We only wish that they could all be back with us. Six members of the team were seniors and graduated and Mr. Foreman is now in the serv- ices of our country. “L CLUB Gordon Nowitzki OllE “L” CLUB is an honorary athletic organi- zation made up of veterans of football, basketball, and track.

There was the greatest number of turn- outs in the history of the school. Many of these were freshmen and sophomores; and. although they only got to play once in a while, most of them stuck to it the whole season. As a great many of the boys worked until school started, the annual football camp was not held. How- ever, this did not hamper their playing any as they had two weeks in which to train l cforc their first game with Wheatland. The Laramie Plainsmen and the Wheatland Bull- dogs tackled on a snow-covered field. The day was wet. cold and blizzardv. In spite of this handicap the “green’’ boys came through to win with a score of 25-6. At Fort Collins I.araniic was faced by a fast lall club. The lambkins seemed to lie exceedingly fast and slippery, and. in spite of everything I .a ra- mie could do, the Plainsmen were defeated. 26-0. Laramie played Casjier here for our second home game. Again they couldn’t seem to get rolling ami lost the game. 25-0. A much improved Laramie eleven traveled to Rock Springs. Both teams were well matched hut L. H. S. became the underdogs once again to lose, 7-0. In Torrington the Plainsmen fought a fierce bat- tle and led the Trailblazcrs until the last few min- utes when “Old Lady Luck’’ seemed to turn on them and they lost. 25-14. At Sheridan the team finally turned up on the big end of the score again. After many tries they rode the Broncs with a score of (x . In the last home game with Rawlins, the Plains- men were rated the underdogs hut surprised every- body by coming to the top with a score of 12-6. Armistice Day is generally sup|x scd to lie a day for all hostilities to cease, however, there was no jicace in the Fort Warren Bowl when Laramie went over the hill to play Cheyenne in the last game of the season. No matter how hard the Plainsmen fought it seemed that the odds were against them when Cheyenne intercepted two Laramie jasses to give the Indians victory with a score of 13-0. All in all the Plainsmen had a very successful season. Perry Stockton was chosen All-State half- lack and Bob Bath All-State guard. Warren Wal- lace received honorable mention on the All-State team. Players who received sweaters as a reward for the season’s work were Y’artkes Barsam. Boh Bath. James Clay. Willis Jensen, Lee Covington. Clarence Carpenter, Wesley Mohr. Bill Rads, and Bob Bal- lard, senior members of the team, and Richard Quis- enberry and Clco Krafczik, juniors. 38 P8P CLUB Kroot How: Nancy Foreman, KUit Jo Mai-.

All during the football and l askctball games, this chant was heard. Tryouts kept the girls competing in sus- pense. The competition was so good that two tryouts had to be held. Maureen Smith and Nancy Foreman were chosen. Don I lartman was paired with Bob McKay, hold- over from last year. Deciding to change the girls’ cheerleader outfits, Maureen and Nancy wore attractive white jackets with I’lainsman heads on the kicks and maroon culottes. Bob and Don graduated at Christmas time to attend college. No election was held, so Nancy and Maureen carried on for the rest of the year. Nancy, who is a junior, will be left to carry on next year when Maureen Smith graduates in May. The school spirit shown by the students of Laramie High School was about the best in years! Miss Nancy Jones is sponsor of the cheerleaders. CHEERLEADERS Don Hartman, Maurwn Smith. Nancy Foreman, Bob McKay. PEP CLUB Mary Louise Popp Dow ENDS ANOTHER year with the Pep Club. This year’s roll included thirty-eight mem- bers, nine seniors and twenty-nine juniors. Elected in September to head the organization was Eleanor Knight, with Peggy Rcusscr, vice-presi- dent; and Mar ’ Louise Popp, secretary. When Eleanor graduated at the end of the first semester, Peggy became president, and Maureen Smith was elected vice-president. Miss Nancy Jones sponsors the club. The organization took on the very worthwhile project of sewing for the Red Cross. Each Wednes- day evening, rather than having the usual drill prac- tice, this work was done. Although few of the girls knew much about sewing, they soon learned. Rip- ping incorrectly sewed seams was not an uncommon sight at the beginning of the year. Not neglecting the social side of life, the Pep Club and the Wranglers, at the climax of the foot- ball season, gave the annual banquet and dance, De- cember 19, in the Activity Room, honoring the foot- ball heroes. Later in the year. February 19, the Pep Club gave an informal party. Each girl asked several guests, and the entire basketball squad was invited. The admission was a twenty-five cent Stamp. The Stamp book was filled, and a twenty-five dollar Bond was purchased. Again this year, the girls sold pencils with foot- ball and basketball schedules. Also, the club spon- sored several dances after football and basketball games. WRANGLERS Ht THE CLOSE of the last school year, Bill Eads was elected president; Bob McKay, vice-presi- dent ; and Lee Burrows, secretary-treasurer, for the following school year. Since Bill Eads and Bob McKay graduated at the close of the first semester. Chuck Pugh and Dick Del .and were elected presi- dent and vice-president. The Wranglers served as ticket-takers, { arked cars, and ran errands at all the local football games. The Wranglers gladly acted as ushers at many school functions. In the way of entertainment, the Wranglers presented one assembly which was pat- terned after the Truth or Consequences program, heard Saturday over KOA. One dance was given February 27, which was attended by Wranglers and their guests. They also presented the annual Amateur Hour, which was a great success. 3« Future Teachers of America Elsie Jo May Once MOKE the time has conic when we must leave the Future Teachers of America for another year. Under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Blacker, the group, one of Laramie High’s most active, lias enjoyed a busy and profitable year with a member- ship of twenty-six. At the election, held last Octo- ber, Bernice Irene was elected president; Edna Larsen, vice-president; Georgia Petrides. secretary; Theresa Barrett, treasurer; and Betty Atkinson, program chairman. The club was divided into work- Kc fresh men ts were served, and an enjoyable evening was had by all. So, we leave the Future Teachers of America for another year, when they will advance to bigger and liettcr goals and achievements.

During the year, many interesting topics, such as vocations, book reviews, and present-day profes- sions, were rejjortcd and discussed. The F. T. A., as the name indicates, was formed primarily to study the profession of teaching. Opportunities and re- quirements for training in other fields of work are also investigated and reported. Throughout the year, members liave had the op- portunity of actual experience in classrooms in the absence of regular teachers. The F. T. A. of the University of Wyoming invited the high school group to attend one of their meetings, April 7, 1942. The topic discussed at this meeting was “Should Graduates Continue Their Ed- ucation, or Should They Go into a War Industry?” Not only were the senior boys good at football, they also won first place at the district tournament and second place at the state tournament. Bob Diegelman, Bob Wagner, Perry Stockton. Ted Rog- ers, and Bill Macsc made All-District. In Rock Springs, Ted Rogers, Gordon Xowitzki, Bill Macsc, Bob Wagner, and Perry Stockton made All-State. Seven seniors took part in the class play, “Yes and No.” They were Peggy Rcusscr, Maeilenc Morgan, Colleen Manfull, Maureen Smith. Jimmy Clay, Wilbur West, and Bob Wagner. The third of April was the Annual Senior Dance. On Sunday, May 9, baccalaureate was held. Then on May 14, at commencement, the seniors hid fare- well to four grand years of high school. ★ HUSIF CLUB Karlen k Coughlin FTER THE excitement of the close of school, the worry of final exams, and the prospect of sum- mer vacation has faded, we can look hack over the many activities of the clubs and organizations dur- ing the year, and let our thoughts come to rest on the good times in Husif Club. Yes, there were many good times as well as exciting ones, and all helped to make a successful year |Kicked with happy memories for each and every member of the Husif Club.

Elizabeth McElroy was chosen, with Betty Lou Thompson elected treasurer. To make the meetings both interesting and in- structive. a committee organized and prepared at- tractive programs for each get-together. Entertain- ment was furnished by group singing, shoe mixers, and various games. On the more serious side, the club did sewing for the Red Cross, thus doing their part in helping the war effort. After sponsoring several minor dances throughout the year, the climax of the activities was the annual spring formal. Organized in 1937. the Husif Club consists of seventh and eighth grade girls enrolled in home economics. For the past year.

But there is much yet in store for this year— parents’ night and the annual Ag Dance. These events will add their share to the success of the year. HOME EC. CLUB Eleanor Moe T3j BEGIN THE year, the Home Economics Club initiated eight new members and held their an- nual election. They chose Wynona Bird, president; Freda Kekedakis, secretary-treasurer; and Betty Strouts, reporter. For Thanksgiving the girls, with the help of the Future Farmers, furnished and distributed Thanks- giving baskets to three needy families. The club affiliated with the National Home Eco- nomics Association, from which it has received the Living-for-Victory Seal, an award to Home Eco- nomics Clubs for progress in war service. Throughout the year the girls helped the Junior Red Cross by sewing slippers and utility bags for soldiers in the hospitals. Wool material for the slippers was donated by various people of the city. A basinet was also made by the club for the use of demonstration by the Red Cross Home Nursing classes. Loi BatchvMrr, Mir)' Hit. Top Row: Canwt BrmlfT, Bdna Wood. Mim Uird, Linda Carroll.

The earnings from these two efforts amounted to enough money to buy a war bond and to have their club’s picture taken for the senior edition. To finish the year’s activities, an all school hard- time dance was sponsored by the club on April 9. Refreshments were served and entertainment was given at intermission. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY (Continued from Page 19) Vicky, John, and Boggins as candidates for Keats’ wife. The one who chose the right girl would win a pool of money. Boggins (Bill Soule) was the butler who, though he had a great deal of respect for the family, thought his opinion should be considered. Furnishing laughs throughout the evening was Bob Wilson as Butcher Boy Bean, Tootsie’s big brother, who was determined that his little sister should not be jilted by anyone- while he was around. Vicky and Keats, though they liad insulted each other in every conceivable way throughout the entire- play, finally discover they love each other, and are being married as the final curtain slowly descends. 33 ★ K.

Future Farmers of America Ed Albert T3.HE RECORDS of the Future Farmers of America show that they arc just completing a most successful year. The Snowy Range Chapter o| cncd their activi- ties by electing Rob Wilkinson, president; Ted Marry, vice-president; Ed Albert, secretary; Rich- ard Strom, treasurer; Emmet Gunncrson, reporter; and Sonny May, watchdog. The first event of the year was the annual Green Hand Initiation, October 12, in the Ag Shop. The new members were Bill Wyatt, George Lucy, James Cruickshank, Sonny May, Joe Neal. Arthur Meyers. Jimmy Morris. Jimmy McMichacl. Harry I.ankford. Alfred Mesa, and Elmer Wilson. Shortly after school ojicncd in the fall, eighteen members of the F. F. A. attended the Wyoming Hereford Sale at Cheyenne. The chapter also vis- ited the King Brothers’ Ranch where they judged various kinds of sheep. Besides the regular activities of the club, the boys did their jart in helping in the war effort. Dur- ing the fall scrap drive they collected and sold nine- teen tons of scrap metal, the proceeds of which went into their treasury. From this treasury the cliaptcr purchased a War Rond. Throughout the year the boys helped farmers and ranchers of the vicinity by repairing their machinery. This machinery was brought to the Ag Shop, and tlie only money the � boys received was for new material used in the re- pair work. On April 5, Mr. Lloyd Dowler. sponsor of the club, resigned from his duties as Laramie High teacher and assistant coach, to join the Navy as a lieutenant, junior grade. The F. F. A. chapter pre- sented Mr. Dowler with a Navy insignia ring as a farewell gift. Since Mr. Dowler’s departure, Mr. Rex Ireland has taken over the ag classes and spon- sorship of the F. F. A. chapter. Entering several contests the chapter fared well as the results show. For making the best records of the chapter for the last year, Jimmy Clay placed first and Roh Ruch second in a contest sponsored by the local farm bureau.

THE ART GROUP CASING THE THEME, “On the School Front,’ the Art Group, under the direction of Miss Steele, participated in class work to contribute to the na- tional war effort. The organization gave an assembly in which they presented slides entitled. “On the School Front,” showing how the various divisions of the high school were doing their part in the national emergency. They assisted the Junior Red Cross by making menu covers, tray covers, Christmas cards, and woven afglians. The chief project in lioth junior and senior high classes was the making of wall hangings for the Veterans’ Hospital in Cheyenne. Decorating a store window in the business district, the Art Group won second place in a contest sponsored by I.aramie business men to promote the sale of War Stamps and Bonds. As individual projects the members of the or- ganization made posters encouraging students to de- velop good habits in work, both in school and at home. They also made jxjstcrs for the Poppy Poster Contest this spring, sponsored by the American Legion. Winding up the activities of the year, the club took part in the art program to raise funds to buy War Bonds. The officers of tlie group for the j ast school year were Marilyn Clippinger, president: and Margaret Williams, secretary-treasurer.

With this, the books of the junior class were closed. With fond memories, the class looked ahead with hope and determination to their grand finale in high school, their senior year. Senior Year Hardly realizing what rapid progress they were making, the class of '43 found itself at the top of the ladder and feeling just a little sorry that they would be leaving old Laramie High so soon. Those chosen to lead tl� c class through its final year were Perry Stockton, president: Jim Clay, vice-president; (Continued on Page 34) 31 CONGRATULATIONS and very best wishes to the class of 43 Your generous patronage has been greatly appreciated This studio extends a welcome to students and ex-students always K ____AY STUDIO (OVER KASSIS) DISTINCTIVE PORTRAITURE Greetings to Graduates and their Instructors WYOMING CREAMERY (Across from New Method) Congratulations to the Seniors of 1943 V CONNOR HOTEL Wyoming’s Finest Hotel -----—
