S, We were nearly lost in the large building with its numerous rooms and teachers, but after a few days of school and an initiation party or two we began to feel as though we were part of the place. We organized our class and elected Bob Hill, presidentg joe Boyd, vice-president: and Alvanell Greer, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Duke advised us and helped us with the activities in which we participated, such as the entering of a float in the homecoming parade. We also presented a one-act play under the direction of Miss Hukill, The next fall when school opened our number was reducedito seventy-two, but we were much more confident than we had been as freshies . The name of our school had been changed from Lewistown High School to Lewistown Community High School. A new district had been formed and a better school awaited us. X Mrs. Bearce and Mr, Corcoran were appofnted to advise us, but Mr. Corcoran left during the year and Mr. Morris took his place. Merle Ford was elected our new presidentg Kenneth Lindsey, Vice-presidentg Orley Welker, secretary-treasurer. The sophoxnores, juniors, and seniors presented one-act plays. Ours, Buddy Answers an Ad, won first place. At the end of the year we held a class picnic at the Methodist Conference Grounds. With the beginning of our junior year, 194-4, our nuznber was again reduced, leaving us with only fifty-eight members. Some of our class- mates had simply fallen by the wayside, but some had gone to serve Uncle asm in the Army or Navy. Mr. Morris resigned during the summer, and our new coach, Mr. Groutage, was appointed to take his place as our adviser rung with Mrs. Bearce. Officers were again elected. George Breckenridge took over the duties of president and Merle Ford became vice-president. Mary Lou Caxnpbell was elected secretary-treasurer. We presented another class play, His Ozark Cousin, a story of the Ozark Mountain Folks. We also sold basketball schedule pencils and operated stands at most ofithe games to make money for our junior-senior prom. The prom decorations and favors followed a circus theme, The study hall, transformed into a huge circus tent, was the setting for the dance, with the Neal Harris Orchestra giving forth hot music. A lunch was served in the home economics room throughout the evening. Freshmen and sophomore girls, dressed in the colorful costumes of circus performers, acted as waitresses in a room made festive with decorations and soft lights of many hues. An all-school picnic at the Springs ended this eventful junior year. I P ' F- QL Fifty-seven' seniors enr' led in September, 194-5, each with high hopes of receiving his diploma, Class officers were chosen during the first week of school: president, Orley Welkerg vice-president, Merle Ford fthe indispensable officerjg secretary-treasurer, Helen Wilson, Mrs. Bearce and Mr. Groutage continued to lead us. We nominated Alma Klinefelter, Thelrna Lockard, Elsie Konetzney, Virginia Fuelberth, and Mary Lou Campbell to receive the D. A. R. Award. Thelma Lockard was chosen by the faculty to receive the honor. Thelma Lockard, Alma Kli-:ff-1+er, and Mary Lou Campbell were chosen to take a competitive examination in the Pepsi Cola Scholarship Award Program. The choice of candidates was made on the basis of probable success in life. We do not know what the future holds in store for us, but whatever it may be, we will always remember the class of '46 and cherish the memories of our days at L.C.H,S. --Orley Welker PROPHE CY I had just returned from ten years in the Occupational Forces and after tossing a hand grenade at my draft board, I met Orley Welker in his helicopter at the Lewistown Airport. He was just embarking on his daily trip to New York, where he sells, on Times Square, the Lewistown Daily Courier, which is edited by Betty Lee O'Brya.nt and her husband. I went with him to New York to see the Wor1d's Fair. Descending in an elevator from the skyscraper on which we landed, I found, at the controls janet Jones, who was working her way thru Harvard. I stepped into a taxi driven by Bill Eskridge, who works for the Chamber of Commerce and extols the, glories of the metropolis. As I rode past the Little Church Around the Corner I saw emerging from the door a double wedding procession headed by Tyke Klinefelter and her bridegroom of but a few minutes, Roger Briney. They were followed by Mary Lou Campbell and her third husband, the last of the Bobs. Before going to the fair grounds, I stopped at a cocktail lounge, Sitting at the bar was the gay divorcee, Nig Greer, talking with Jack Deu- shane, the great Northwestern coach who was getting in training. Behind the bar, mixing drinks, was Bob Dickson, who informed us he had taken the job in order to gather material for his newest book, Forever Ambeer. By then I was tired, so I went to the ever-popular joe's Hotel, owned by joe Boyd. He employed Helen Wilson as house 'detective. She peeked thru keyholes for information to use in the book she was writing. Elsie Konetzney was collaborating with her on this book which was to be called As I See It. Deciding to retire I went to the elevator, only to find it out of order. just then the hotel's two bouncers, Merle Ford and Max Boo, slung me over their shoulders and carried me to my room. On the way they told me about their sets of sextuplets who were on display at the fair. I was almost asleep when the heavy footsteps of a sleep- walker aroused me. I saw that it was jimmy Gordon, who waltzed in, singing Beer Barrel Polka and slowly left, whistling Show Me the Way to go Home. I arose early and ambled down to the kitchen where Imogene Shields and james Tippey were the cook and waiter, respectively. After breakfast I took off for the Fair, which was the real reason for my trip. Upon arriving at the grounds, I saw Walter Wheeler directing traffic. I pulled over to speak to him in the car that I had rented from the Sault! and Lindsey Agency. The first person I encountered was Warner Negley, the popcorn man, who peddled peanuts on the side. I went to the information desk where Betty Bates presided. I asked her to recommend a good guide and she suznmoned Harold Camp, whose wife had just presented him with two little Ca.mps, Ellis and Grant. The first stop was the UNO building where we heard a brief address by Leo Grigsby on uniting the universe. Also I heard Mary Wasmer, the present ambassador to Brazil, give a lecture entitled Head Hunters' Habits. I then went to the Science Building Where I met Francis Morse staggering along with a test tube in one hand and a dragon scale in the other, My attention was called to the murals which were painted by Anne Ewan. A loud commotion outside attracted me. I learned from the crowd that a coon had escaped from the Wild Life Exhibit and that Ray Pascal, wealthy young sportsman, was in close pursuit. Hearing an explosion behind me, I turned around--no Science Building. From the ruins emerged George Breckenridge, blackened with soot, clutching in his only hand his motto-- A Let George Do It. In the Education Building, I talked with Robert Skender, who was lecturing there. He had come to New York via the Kinnamon Consolidated Airways, owned by my old classmate, Vonee. I met Junior Emmons, who told me of his famous wife's fthe former Virginis Fuelberthj latest exploits in Home Economics. They had just returned from Alaska where she had given speeches on ice refrigeration. In the Togs for Tomorrow department were models, Juanita Fisk, Mary Grzanich, and Dean Thompson modeling beach attire. My guide pointed out the aquarium where Bill Quigley demonstrated deepsea diving. Last week his cables got fouled and Berneita Sipe rescued him from the deep. 3 1 . P The Rocket races were next. At the line-up were-Helen Pomeroy, Mildred Perkins, and Leota Pollitt. They were off like three P's out of a shooter. The contest judges were Robert Beaird, Lewis Belville, and Louis Hough, who had just finished their time at St. Charles for being caught in the halls of LCH S without a pass. By that time the most important part was about to' begin, namely, the premier. In the box office was IJ.a Zaborac, who told me that this was her last nite, as Gerald Owens, a Hollywood talent scout, had made her a prornising offer. The former I1a Stockxnan and Maurine Stockhaxn, whose husbands managed the theater, told the usher to find me a good seat. As I sat down I noticed in the next seat Onilee Huffxnan, who informed me that it was her nite off from Arthur Murray's dancing school where she taught that new step, the atomic leapr To my amazement, in the newsreel I saw Thelma Lockard, who had just become Dean of Vassar andRuth Wilcoxen whose husband had discovered the 7 cities of Cibola. Also in the newsreel were june Tackson and Steve Perardi and their brood who were depicted M ine typical American family. i .'Y'z: feature had just started and we were' surprised to see Denise Ben xeft on the screen portraying the Dutchess and also we saw Wsnzta Wilcoxen, whom Red Rider saved just as Frankenstein was about to toss her off a cliff. Before the last reel of the picture, the producer, Ruby Hagney, came out to take a bow and then the picture continued. It was very exciting and just when everybody thought they could stand no more there was flashed on the screen these words the end , and so it was. 51 ll 'f'l I A R , Thelma Lockard Alma Klinefelter Virginia Fuelberth D.

C. H. S. in September, 1944. The first freshie to speak asked, Where do we find the elevators?' No, we weren't lazy--everyone else had the same idea. At the first gathering of our so-called freshies the following officers were selected: president, Bernard Fayhee: vice-president, jean Greer: secretary, Lucille Wood: treasurer, Marion Berkeley: Student Council representative, Leslie Lee. We struggled through our first year very successfully-- we thought. Mr. Hoffman and Mrs. Sunderland were our class advisers, and they helped smooth out the rough places for us. Four boys went out for football, nine for basketballf and one girl for cheerleading. After a summer recess we returned with a year of training behind us. We removed books, pens, pencils, and paper from their resting places and placed them in active service. Officers elected were as follows: president, Keith Lindseyg vice-president, Gordon Jones: secretary-treasurer, Delores Owens: Student Council representative, Leslie Lee. Two cheerleaders were selected from our sophomore classgalso, four boys went out for football, and four for basketball. We won the magazine sale with a profit of 559.34-, With all this wealth we sponsored a welcoming party for the freshmen. Our advisers are planning still another party for spring. Parties cost money, so we set ourselves up in business. All that food you ate and pop you drank at the basketball game was provided by our energetic salesmen.

Row Alma Klinefelter, Orley Welker, Robert Harn, Keith Lindsey, Robert Dickson, Virginia Fuelberth In 194-4, under the guidance of Arnold J, Hoffman, a Student Council was organized at L. C. H. S. Of all the appointments and offices which might be held by students, a seat on this Council requires the most responsibility and in- tegi-ity. Each class has two representatives in this governing body: its president and one other person who is chosen by ballot. Other organizations select one member to represent them. At the present time, there are twelve seats on the Coun- cil. The officers, elected by the entire student body, are: Orley Welker, president: Robert Harn, vice-president, Alma Klinefelter secretary, Keith Lindsey, treasurer. The chief purpose of the Student Council is to acquaint the students with a knowledge of good govermnent and to encour- age close cooperation between students and faculty for the pur- pose of maintaining the best school possible. In its program for this year, the Student Council has planned school projects, con- ducted special assemblies, and sponsored dances and other social functions. The student council movement is prominent throughout the state and meetings and conventions are held for the purpose of instructing members in their duties and responsibilities. On November 3, Keith Lindsey, Mary Klinefelter, Orley Welker, and Alrna Klinefelter attended the Tenth Annual Conven- tion of Student Councils at the Lanphier High School in Springfield Illinois. --Alma Klinefelter AGRICULTURE Starting with the Freshznan initiation early in September the Lewistown agriculture students have tried to accomplish their goals through the 194-5-194-6 school year. Those purposes' are: 1. To develop competent, aggressive, rural and agriculture' leadership. Z. To strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work. 3 To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations. 4. To create and nurture a love of country life. 5. To improve the rural home and its surroundings. 6. To encourage cooperative effort among students of vocational agriculture. 7. To promote thrift among students of vocational agriculture. 8. To promote and improve scholarship. 9. To encourage organized recreation axnong students of vocational agriculture. 10. To supplement the regular systematic instruction offered to students in vocational agriculture, ll. To advance the cause of vocational education in agriculture in the public schools. Lewistown Community High School is proud to have students enrolled capable of setting up and achieving the above outlined accomplishments. -- Donald Splain COMMER cm It would be unusual to meet a person today who does not find it necessary, at least occasionally, to enter into contracts, verbal or writteng to buy or sell propertyg to write checks, to purchase insurance: or to endorse notes. These are all simple everyday acts, a part of our way of living, and everyone should be able to perform them intelligently. The general business course of study is designed to prepare students to meet these common situations which confront all of us. This course is not meant to be a specialized commercial subject. All students, regardless of major field, would benefit from taking it. The other commercial courses, shorthand, typewriting, book- keeping, and office practice, are planned to prepare students for immediate employment. This is necessary because many of our people never attend college: formal schooling for them ends with high school graduation. ' Our employment record has always been high. During the recent shortage of office workers, on three different occasions, we cooperated with local professional people by permitting senior students to accept half-time positions at the end of the first semester. Of course these students had met the final require- ment, of the departrnent. ---fMrs.D Gladys E.

Cozine FOREIGN LANGUAGES America is more awake to the importance of the study of foreign languages than ever before. This is due to the part she has played in the war and her contribution toward planning a better post-war world. Of special interest to students of the United States is the study of Spanish as a step toward realizing The Good Neighbor Policy. Heretofore we have been satisfied merely to trade with our neighbors to the south, but now we are seeking a better understanding of their problems by mastering their language, As a foundation for the study of the Romance languages a knowledge of Latin is exceedingly valuable as they are only modern Latin. The great scholar, Goethe, has truthfully said, The man who knows no foreign languages, knows nothing of his mother tongue. --Carlotta Kinney HOIVIE ECONOMICS We are a Smith-Hughes Home Making department at L-.

For this purpose our school library contains all of the usual reference books-- dictionaries, encyclopedias, and bound volumes of various mag- azines. Another purpose of the library is to provide for the worthy use of leisure time. The library subscribes to fifteen current magazines and one daily newspaper. Students are encouraged to read for the sheer pleasure of 1' wading, and to become aware of the fact that, A good book is the sest of friends, the same today and forever. A third important function of our school library is to train students in the use of books and the library. Introductory courses in the use of the library are given in connection with the fresh- man English classes. It is desired that the use of the library is carried on after graduation, and that our students become active and intelligent patrons of the public libraries. N ---Laura Kaario WHY STUDY MATHEMATICS It would probably be better to ask, why study mathematics beyond arithmetic as it is generally agreed that every one should study arithmetic. There is an old saying that he who lcnows how may have a good job, but he who knows why will be his bossfr- Mathematics teaches the why as well as the how. It teaches and trains you in correct thinking and reasoning. It helps you. to observe and visualize. The fields of engineering, architecture, surveying, science, etc., coul.l not be carried on without math. A ematics. Many of our young mon who entered the armed forces found they needed all the mathema cs they had learned, and more, to carry on as they wished. The war has revived our interest in the subject. What could we ha 'e accomplished without it? Yes, girls need the training too, but we need to reorganize our courses to fit the needs of varying interests. Professional people, lawyers, doctors, etc., need the found- ation given in logical thinking. In fact there seems to be a need for the basic training in all fields of endeavor including the social and economic. --T. F. McLa1narre'1 MUSIC The fundarnental purpose of music in our ., -is is to give students a keener appreciation of good music and a chance to part- icipate in the various musical activities. Most people think that a basic subject in a high school must have great social value. Surely music has this value. Young people who participate in these activities of music have as great opportunity for social training as through most any other subject. Music provides a strong connecting link between the school, home and the community in general. It appeals alike to all races, all creeds, all colors, all stations of life. L :jg A '5 'F T 'In the last two years, the Mixed Chorus has worked and has developed into an up-and-coming organization. The Christina! Vesper Musicale, which the choruses present at the Christmas - season each year, is now one of the highlights of the school calendar, and one we hope will remain a tradition through the years to come. One of the other fine activities of the school year is the Fulton County Chorus Festival. This is a great experience and a privilege for any student to participate in this massed chorus of approximately 4-00 voices. A It was Congreve who said, Music has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, and bend the knotted oak. ---fMrs.l Mary Kay McMillan ' i A 1 ,:.., '- ,' - .1:1l '-E, PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education program is primarily concerned with the building of sound physical and mental health aznong the students of Lewistown Community High School. It is the aim of the department. to develop in the student not only physical ability, but, more especially, proper habits of living in order that his work may be carried on to the best advantage. Physical education strives to improve and maintain a student's strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, poise, control, carriage, endurance, and relaxation. Many corrective exercises are recornrnended for those students who show a need for correction of poor body mechanics, such as curvature of the spine, weak feet, or ungraceful walking habits, Participation in competitive sports gives the student a- chance to learn cooperation, fair play, and good sportsmanship. --Dean Graff SCIENCE Those peculiar odors that often occupy the school building must not all be attributed to the Home Economics Departrneint, ln- deed not, for the Chemistry classes yield second to' none in their ability to produce wierd and often displeasing smells. As a matter of fact, we are all rather proud of our upper class Science Section which includes Physics, Chemistry, and Aeronautics. Of course, the primary purpose of these classes is to present to the students further experience in the scientific world as well as theoretical material from the texts. But in addition and possibly of equal or greater importance, the students are given a further insight into the scientific approach to the solution of problems. The development of this desire for knowl- edge before making decisions would most certainly aid in the solution of all problems, whether they be problems pertaining to science or just problems of everyday life, The trememdous advance in the scientific knowledge of the world during the past decade further enhances the value of scien- tific education in the life of our students and should tend toward more emphasis in this field.- --Willard G, Warrington Q E E if E TOM- T OM FRONT TABLE Waneta Wilcoxen, Berneice Hadsall, Ila Zaborac, Virginia Fuelberth, jackie White SECOND TABLE Betty O'Bryant Fred Mansfield, jim Hamm, jack Bath, Robert Dickson ON BACK TABLE Elsie Konetzny, Lyle Butler, Verlyn Vaughn STANDING E BACK Alvanell Greer, Mary Lou Campbell, Shirley Miller, Ruby Hagney, Frank Hazzard, Margaret Kerr.

GENERAL SCIENCE General Science is a one-period class which includes units pertaining to the various branches of science such as biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, physiology, and physiography. This is a course to introduce Freshmen to several branches of science and to arouse an interest in science. The text used is a new copyright edition of Everyday Science by Coldwell and Curtis with accompanying work books and tests. This is written in asimple, practical and very interesting manner. Laborato.,' xi :k is provided two periods a week. The purpose of General Science is to present the students with a well-rounded background of information of surroundings and how they affect everyday existence. It provides mental train- ing, helps develop the ability to think clearly and effectivel'-rg to be open-minded: see questions from all angles and lear'. how to draw proper conclusions from observations. This cous se pro- vides practice andfacility in the use of the scientific method and helps develop scientific attitudes. ---fMrs.Q Laura Carlock 3 BIOLOGY Biology is important to everyone. The growing of plants and animals, control of insects, control of diseases, increase of food supply, disposal of sewage, conservation of our natural resources--all require workers with a wide knowledge of biology. In the stress and strain of our twentieth century living it be- comes increasingly necessary for everyone to know how to preserve and protect the intricate mechanisms of the human body and mind. Biology for' some may be the means of earning a living, for others it may be the means of guiding them to enjoyable and stimulating hobbies. During the recent war many soldiers stationed in the Pacific Area, where commercial amusements were scarce, were able to find joy, relaxation, and even profit in observing, photographing. and collecting the native plants and animals. In L, C. I-I, S. biology classes field trips, microscope work, dissecting work, and sound films are teaching aids and provide variety in the daily routine. I find high school biology an interesting subject because it deals with living things. There is always something new to be learned as the surroundings are studied through the changing seasons. , --fMrsJ Helen A. Bearce SOCIAL SCIENCES The social sciences deal with elements of human society, such as family, state, or race, and.with the institutions involved in man's existence and wellbeing as a member of all organized community. To understand how one beca.me a part of the never-ending drarna of American life, it is necessary to build up a background of knowledge and understanding.

The boys in these courses have been endeavor- ing to create a shop in what was at one time the old gyrn. This spacious room, which is forty feet wide by sixty feet long, should make an excellent shop. Present plans call for the following courses to be taught: woodworking and plastics, electricity, mechanical drawing, cement, and metals, We are looking forward to receiving from the government surplus, a large part of the machines necessary to establish and maintain these courses. JAIVIES GROUTAGE ' 'A Little Honey On the evening of january 11, the seniors presented A Little Honey to the public. The story centered around Diana, whose mother had taught her that the way to interest a man was to discuss such subjects as carburetors and base- ball. Diana tried it with disastrous results, for Tom went off to the South Pacific without a word about an engagement. When he came back on a short leave, Grandmother decided that Diana should change her tactics. According to Grandmother , any man could be caught if sufficient sweetness and honey were used. Therefore, under her direction the stage was set and careful plans were made--a rehearsal was even held-- and the result---Diana got her man. --Ethel Leonard 2 E 5 32 k E E Chow Line Fact and Fiction Fashions in the Making 'E lf L XA. 9.

Our aims are good citizenship, character, and service. We are now offering college preparatory work in social science, mathematics, science, foreign language, and English. Four subjects are offered in the field of agriculture, three in home economics, seven in commerce, and three in shop work. The community has been fortunate to have the services of four busses and one car to transport p ipils to school. The school has purchased about 53300 worth of books for the library. The library subscribes to 44- magazines for the benefit of departments and pupils. Students may obtain some very good experiences by taking part in a few of the extra-curricular activities such as Future Farmers, Home Economics, chorus, contests in music and speech, baseball, football, basketball, track and field sports, plays, school annual, school newspaper, Student Council, and intra- mural sports. Band may be an activity again next year. The school board now has a faculty of fifteen members. All the teachers are well qualified for their work and hold college degrees. Two members have masters degrees. As the school progresses more teachers holding a Master of Arts degree will be employed. The trends and standards in education demand this policy. By a new law passed recently, all stuients are required to dress and take part in a physical education class five days per week. The administration has helped at least six veterans to obtain high school diplomas, Three are now working toward a diploma. The school will always be ready to counsel any vet- eran at any time convenient to both parties. Recently many improvements were made in the building by decoration, refinishing of floors and some new lights, Many aids to instruction have been added such as visual equipment, laboratory supplies, apparatus and new furniture. All this was done to maintain high enough standards to be approved by the North Central Association, the University of Illinois, and the State Departrnent. In the future more courses may not be taught unless better building facilities and equipment are provided. It is evident that students still need much training in reading, writing, arithmetic, and spelling. They could endure more discipline, moral instruction, and health education. Many educators think we should have smaller classes and more teachers. It would not be out of place to have more adult education in connection with the high school. Helpful suggestions as to our future development are always welcome from persons of the community interested in education. --SGH. B.
