HE Senior Class of 1940 has success fairly popping out from its ranks. During the four years this outstanding body has been in Liberty Memorial High School, they have shown active leadership in classes and activities all of which have helped the school in many ways. The outstanding quality of this Senior class is shown by the fact that four of the six entrants for Summerfield Scholarship were invited to the finals. This year Maurice Abele, Dick Keene, Garland Landrith, Thornton McClanahan, Arthur Nelson and Clifford Reynolds represented L. M. H. S. in the preliminaries, the last four returned for finals. This year scholarships were offered for girls. Jane Ansdell, Vivian McBeth, Ida Fran- ces Moyer, Harriet Ojers, Eva Rhea Skinner, and Junie Sutherland represented LMHS for these scholarships. The Seniors show executive ability, too. Even the august body, the Student Council, commonly OFFICERS: Back row, left to right. Miller. Sutherland, Stoneback Front row, left tu right: Cole, Keene Seniafut known as the Supreme Court has Senior representatives, name- ly Betty June Sullivan as Secretary and Dean Stoneback as Senior Representative. Way back when this Senior Class were mere freshmen, some even so young they were not ashamed to A seen crying when they stubbed their toe, the names of Alan 'Fisher as President, Reed Whetstone, Vice President, Dean Stoneback as Treasurer, Harriet Ojers, Secretary, and Betty opp, Representative, constituted the officers of the class. 'Then as they outgrew pinafores and were spoken of as Sopho- mores, the ofiicers were: P1'esident, Maurice Abeleg Vice-Presi- dent, Dean Stonebackg Treasurer, Ida Frances Moyer, Secre- ary, Junie Sutherland, and Representative, Arthur Nelson. WVhen most of the class were cutting their eye teeth and blos- oming out as Juniors, the ofiicers were President, Evelyn Mer- er, Vice President, Arthur Nelson, Treasurer, Jay Collins, ecretary, Caroline Baker, and Representative, Dick Keene. When another year passed and spectacles were being worn by more members of the class because of the many long nights of tudy, the Senior class announced the following names as its 'lass officers: President, Dick Keene, Vice President, Stanley illerg Treasurer, Junie Sutherland, Secretary, Mary E. Cole, nd Representative, Dean Stoneback, Alan Fisher was Hi-Y resident, and Junie Sutherland was elected president of G. R. In sports, the senior boys who have put not only their uscle but their hearts into the game of football are: George oehring, half-back, David Jewel and Maurice Knott, guardsg nd Bill Hormuth, end. George Goehring was ele ted to the 'astern Kansas conference team, an honor enjoyed by the whole chool. Delbert Perkins was also seen plunging through the ines many times. In tossing the elusive sphere into the baskets, the name of eorge Goehring again shines out, and Lee Garizh has given is all toward making the team a power in this district. Bill eber, Dick Keene, Robert Nelson, and Eldon Williams have iven four years of work and play in basketball, and all of them ook back on the experience with the greatest pleasure. The cinder path has held the attention of Eugene Parker, alter Peterson, Bud Herriman, and Harold Lee. To be second lenn Cunninghams has also been the aspirations of Billy Haw- ins, Edwin Burgess, David Jewell, Paul Sims and Elgin oody. As usual, no athletic department is complete without he name of George Goehringg and here it is again. There are some who are not as fleet of foot or quick of and as the athlete, but their minds are given tough work-outs aily in debating and lots of chance for fireworks in tourna- age 13 ments. Garland Landrith, Arthur Nelson, Betty Kopp, and Bill Hough have pitted their wits many times against the keen minds from other schools, and have always come back to Liber- ty Memorial with flying colors. These Seniors are not only adept at plunging the line and tossing the ball into the basket, but also at splashinr the ink 011 the page to the greatest advantage. Quill and Scroll welcomed the following seniors this year: Jane Ansdell, Rosemarie Camp- bell, Mary E. Cole, Irene Flory, Iris Jenkins, Dick Keene, Jo Ann Perry, Bob Wiedemann, Vivian McBeth, Arthur Nelson, Junie Sutherland, Eugene Parker, Calvert Winters, Bill Hough, Shirley Bayles, Alan Fisher, and Betty June Sullivan. Mem- bers from last year are Betty Kopp, Maurice Abele, and Thorn- ton McClanahan. Now that's an array of names to be reckoned with! And this dear old Red and Black has been nursed and pampered along by such seniors as Thornton McClanahan, Ar- thur Nelson, Maurice Abele, Betty Kopp, Vivian McBeLh. and Junie Sutherland. That worthy sheet commonly known as the Budget, has been guided and pushed along by such represent- ative Seniors as Bill Hough, Jean Conger, Lois Craik, Eugene Parker, Warren Harrell, Bill Hormuth, Irene Flory, Dick Keene, Calvert Winter and Bob Wiedemann. Since the play's the thing, our Senior class couldn't over- look that phase of activity. The stars that sparkled in the Junior play, Second Fiddle, were Maurice Abele and Regina Allen most heartily supported on all occasions by Betty Kopp, Harriet Ojers, Vivian McBeth, Reed Whetstone, Ida Frances Moyer, and Thornton McClanahan. Then along came the Hi-Y- G. R. play, Growing Pains. It was good entertainment and the following Seniors helped to make it so: Elizabeth Crafton, Bill Hough, Reed Whetstone, Maurice Abele, Garland Landrith, Clifford Reynolds, Kenneth Lindenberger, Eldred Jones, Mar- ian Bliesner, Iris Jenkins, Betty June Sullivan, Mary E. Cole and Jo Ann Perry. The Senior play was a Henry Aldrich play, What A Life, presenting high school life. Maurice Abele played Henry, the abused one, and Elizabeth Crafton was his sweetheart, Bar- bara. The cast giving hearty support were: Harriet Ojers, Bill Hough, Louis Grifiith, Marian Bliesner, Garland Landrith, Ida Frances Moyer, Junie Sutherland, Kenneth Lindenberger, Iris Jenkins, Thornton McClanahan, Betty Kopp, Reed Whetstone, Helen Skinner, and Stanley Miller. Of course no school can function these days without a band to put life into the athletic events and zip into student body on festive occasions. There are a lot of Seniors who toot a horn, fContinued on Page 572
