THE CARDINAL Lutesville Public School Lutesville, Missouri 1954 FOREWORD Robert Louis Dixon Editor laude Nelson Devenport Business Manager Volume VII As a memorial to the attainments of the high school during the past forty two years, we offer this year a record of the past--with scenes of the present and glimpses into the future. A look at what is forthcoming is provided by the pictures on these pages of the buildings erected during the past forty two years. In keep- ingwith this progress, the 1954 CARDINAL holds the greatest student representation in its history. While we look forward to the growth of a greater high school in the future, this year's Staff presents the 1954 Yearbook to capture memories and mark the progress ofthisyear. In this year's CARDINAL, the Past joins the Present in saluting the Fu- ture. CONTENTS CAMPUS PARLIAMENT DEPARTMENTS FEATURES ATHLETICS CLASSES DEDICATION MR. ORA WELKER The CARDINAL annual has been dedicated this year to another per son that helps to keep this school under its pros- perous and good conditions, Mr. Ora Welker. Mr. Welker, with his fine sense of humor and ability to get along with children, is an outstanding person to have working in school. His knack and system of keeping the school going in topnotch order makes him one of the best of custodians. The CARDINAL staff is proud to dedicate the 1954 CARDINAL to Mr. Ora Welker and also wishes him many more years of successful work in Lutesville High School. 3 CASTLE Lutesville is situated on the west side of Crooked Creek. It was laid out as a town in 1853 by Eli Lutes, in whose honor the place was named. In order to secure a station on the Belmont Branch of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Rail- road, Mr. Lutes gave to the railroad company ten acres of ground for station purposes, the right-of-rail- way through the town, and one-third of the lots. The first passenger train passed through here August 29, 1868. Then there were only four or five houses. The first school was taught by Ex-Congressman R. Smith ina small frame building. The school house was situated where the residence of Mr. Henry Lutes now stands. The first merchant in town was C. E. Rowe, who began business in a small box house, and continued until the time of his death. Eli Lutes was also one of the early merchants. The first mayor of the town was F. S. Frautwein. In 1910 there were five general stores and the usual number of smaller business estab- lishments. There were three churches in the town, namely; The Southern Metho- dist, which was erected in 1872, the Northern Methodist in 1894, and the Presbyterian in 1905. Lutesville now has a population of 694. The school grew very rapidly and four years of high-school work was approved in 1917. 4 CAMPUS This is the Lutesville Gymnasium. Some of the im- provements made in the gym were: refinishing the floor and redecorating and painting the interior. The Vocational Agriculture Building was completed and started being used in the spring of 1951. It con- tains class rooms and a big shop. Here we see the building bought by the Lutesville Board to be used for the Home Economics Cottage. It is located right at the edge of the school property onHighway 51. It waspurchased in 1953 and is hoped to be ready for use by fall 1954.

R. Neal, Banker. First, let's look at this picture which comprises the Lutesville Board of Education. These men are interested in the best possible education for our youth, and gave un- tiringly of their time and effort to that goal. Could that be the reason LF1S has been classified as an A A school for several years? Yes, partly, but let us move down to the lower picture and see two men who are more directly responsible for this achievement--Mr. Cobble, our superintendent, and Mr. Wells, our principal. These progressive administrators provided for our students an expanding curricula, many extra-curricular activities, and other experiences that developed well-rounded stu- dents, and at the same time brought distinction to our school. Delmar Cobble, Superintendent; Webster Wells, Principal. 6 Looking at Lutesville Public School records academic- ally, we see that it has one of the largest enrollments in its history with 237 inhigh school and 232 in grade school. In helping the students to accomplish more, there are fifteen teachers in high school and six in grade school, which also helps the school in its offering of 41 different subjects. On the campus we have five buildings, and have had a AA rating for three years. On October 22, 1953, the school purchased another building which vyill be remodeled and converted into a home economics cottage as soon as possible. One new teacher, Mr. Richard Elfrink, and three new subjects, school publications, secretarial practice, and drivers training were added this year in order that the students may have a better and well rounded education. 7 AGRICULTURE-VOCATIONAL Mr. Wesley O. Proffer B.S. in Education This is the fourth year Vocational Agriculture has been taught in Lutesville High. With an organization like this it takes more than one or two years to build it up, but this year marks one of the most prosperous for this class. Land was donated for chapter use this yearand equipment was also furnished by the differ- ent implement dealers to farm the land. This gave the members a chance to further train themselves in the skill of farming. The class has also taken part in many other activities; there were teams sent to the sub-district in Parliamentary Procedure, Dairy Judging and Farm Mechanics. They also entered in the state wide Ford Plowing contest. Mr. Kenneth Schreiner receiving his honorary de- gree pin from chapter president, Robert Dixon, at the Parent and Son Banquet, March 19.

Proudly displayed are the new drawing boards which have been of great value to the classes. ART The students in Mrs. Jones’ classes covered a large field in the Art Department. Some of the subjects were: pencil drawings, tempra-painting, printing and postering, carving, modeling, textile painting, and flower arrange- ment. The value of the department was increased by the addition of new drawing boards and shelving. The department’s assembly was presented by the 7th grade class in the form of a tour, visiting the west, east, and mountain region.

Friends were all She ever met, Friends to all And never a fret. Her life; it was Jolly and gay, Taking the world On it's onward way. Helping to make The world what it should be; This was one of her purposes On this land of the free. A shock it was For the world to hear That she had been called On to Heaven, up there. It made her friends, And loved ones, too, Realize the sacrifice She has made for you. Her death was easy And hard to bear, But just remember That the Lord was there. She did not dread The onward way. Because she was prepared For another day. Robert L.

The team is in a huddle. A double-overtime highlighted this game with the Preps--our victory 60-58. The most important achievement for the basket- ball team this year, besides promoting good sports- manship, was that of putting the Cardinals back in the winning column. Starting and ending the season in grand style, the Cardinals won their first game from Patton and ended the regular-scheduled season by defeating Zalma. With a record of 15 wins against 12 defeats, the team has the best record since 1946. In the Delta Invitational Tournament, the Cardinals won their first two games but lost in the semi-finals and consolation game to take fourth place. The OHSC Tourney, held at Lutesville, was the scene of some fast and exciting basketball play. The Cardinals won their opener from Oak Ridge, and defeated Zal- ma in the semi-finals. In the final game, the Card- inals faced Delta. Both teams battled it out the first three quarters, but in the remaining minutes of the fourth and final quarter, Delta pulled ahead winning 58 to 48. This game showed that the Cardinals had made quite an improvement since the first of the season when Delta defeated them in the Delta Tour- ney 60 to 37. In the Oran sub-regional the Cardinals lost their first game to first-seated Bell City team. The most valuable trophy the Cardinals received, the first trophy of its kind to be presented in the trophy case, was the sportsmanship award from the Parma tourney. The school is proud of Coach John- son and his team for the fine record and outstanding sportsmanship they have shown. CARDS DEFEAT PIEDMi OVERTIME night the basketball innent Ru3bC ¥-V period.
