CJ...ISS HISTOR Y In 1937 on September first seven happy or seared children started to the Martinsburg Public School. These seven children were Robert Doan, Duane White, Roger Zinn joan Jeffery, Robert MCs.-rdle, Maxine Bottorff and Marianne Rakow. Our teacher was Doris jefferey. She taught one sem- ester and then Dorothy jones finished the school year. The next year the class was increased by one pupil, Florence Burcham. Dorothy jones was our teacher again. In 1939 the class was increased by two new pupils, Jean Lanser and La Verne Ullrick. Dorothy jones still remained our teacher. In the year of 1940 all the same children came back to our grade, all ex- cept Florence Burcham who left us and Roger Zinn who didn't pass. Bonnie Armstrong was our teacher that year. In 1941 three new pupils were added to our grade which were Shirley Harder, Ann Von Minden, and George Schultz. Jean Lanser left us inthe fall of the year. With all the new pupils the school room was too crowded so we xzsed the Parochial School building. Our teacher was Viola- Blohm.. The next year four pupils, Marianne Rakow, George Schultz, Ann Von Minden and Shirley Harder, returned to Parochial School. Our teacher that year was Miss Casey. In 1943 the class remained about the same. Miss Casey got married at Clhx-istznas time so Miss Alice Kamrath taught the rest of the semester. In 1944 this class was inthe eighth grade. The enrollment was increased by seven new pupils, these were Marianne Rakow, George Schultz, Ann Von Minden, Shirley Harder, Ervin Koeppe, Shirley Koeppe, and Bennet Hanson. Parochial School closed. joanjefferey left us to go to Randolph to school. Miss Kamrath still remained our teacher. In 194-5 this class had entered high school. Qnr teacher was Mr. Hanson. Bennett Hanson dropped out because he moved away. Ervin Koeppe di.dn't join us. There was one new pupil that was Darrell Harder. After the first six weeks Darrell quit school. Onjalnary second Christine Ballard joined us. On our Sneak Day we went to Lincoln and had a wonderful time. The class of 1947 started out with nine pupils in 1946. Christine Ballard was not among us, making the class smaller. Mr. Hanson remained oar teacher.

CLASS PROPHECY Chicago, Illinois 1302 Canal Street january 15, 1967 Dear Mr. Hanson, Remember the old school days of 1945 to 194-7? Well, I sure do and I wish I were back in Martinsburg going to chool. I still work in Marshall Fields as an interior decorator. My husband, Bill, is a pilot. He flies from St. Louis to Chicago. I have one girl. I-Ier name is Linda Ann and she is thirteen years old. Last summer Linda and I went to see Maxine and her husband. She lives in Missouri and has the cutest little bqy id 811-1, While I was on the train heading back to Chicago I met Bob McCardle. He is now a captain in the navy. He was heading -for Reno to get a divorce f ff-Q I .M ,Nz , A, 1 from his wife. Saturday morning after I had been home for a half an hour who should come walking in but Ann and her fatnily. She has twin girls about eleven years old. They live on a ranch in Wyoming and are quite well to do. When I heard from Duane he was taking a barber course. He said he was going to come to Chicago to be a barber. His wife is a. beauty operator. I also heard from Shirley Koeppa last week. She is still in Sioux City working in the St. joseph Hospital as a nurse in the operating room. Last Friday Linda and I flew to St. Louis with Bill. I heard La Vern was living there so we stayed with them a few days. Saturday while shopping I rnet George Schultz and I'll bet you can't guess what he turned out to be? A detective! He didn't have much time to talk be- cause he was working on an important case. Shirley Harder is a beauty operator in Chicago. I see her quite often. I guess she is going to give up hair-fixing and demostrate some kind of new hair- dryers. This will give her a chance to travel all over the United States. She isn't married and I don't think she is going to for a while. Ihope to hear from you soon. Tell me some news about Martinsburg. Yours truly, Marianne Rakow TR IP TO LINCOLN At 5:30 on a cloudy morning we sixteen sleepy but happy children left Martinsburg. We ate breakfast, that is coffee and doughnuts in Oakland. Long before we reached the capital building we could see the dome shin- ing brightly. Everyone was anxious to see the capital building first so at about eleven o'clock we were walking up the steps leading to it. It was the most beautiful building any of us had ever been in. We got to see the Rotunda room, governors private office, court room, ect. I believe we were one of the luckiest school groups ever to visit it. For we got to shake hands with Governor Griswold. At Antelope Park we ate our picnic lunch. Beaking a few dishes but having a grand tirne. Next we went to the Lincoln Zoo, seeing all kinds of animals. One cheerful ambitious, little monkey swung down and took Shirley Harder 's handkerchief. TRIP T0 LINCOLN, fCont.j One of the mast interesting places we visited was Morrill Hall. There we saw many things such as stuffed animals, fossils of animals, museum species and rnummies. Later we visited a magnificent church. Going up a spiral staircase of sixty-three steps to a tower where there was forty-sight bells of different sizes. After seeing all these interesting places we were given an hour to our- selves. Most of us went into a dimestore buying souvenirs and having our pic- tures taken. After having lunch in a small restaurant we decided to go to a humorous show. It was late when the movie let out, so we started on our long journey home When we reached Martinsburg at around 3:30 it was raining cats and dogs. We all made wild dashes for home with pleasant memories in our hearts. Ann Von Minden It It It at nf It SENIOR GRIPES Why can't we have a gymnasium? Why can't we complete our school years in Martinsburg ? Why can't we have hot lunches ? Why can't we have our regular class period? Why can't we have three hours of school? Why can't we have a radio on the desk? Why can't we have motion pictures for our lessons ? Why can't we have soft cushions on our school-seats ? Why can't we have a sleeping period? Why can't we have an assembly and classrooms ? Why can't we have plumbing facilities ? Why can't we have school dances ?

E Q E L f FRESHNIAN CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 194-4, six children came to a new school, Martinsburg, because there was no one to teach us any longer in the parochial school. These children were john Schultz, Jeanette Shultz, Darrell Kam:-ath, Werner Koeppe, Roger Zinn and Carroll Harder. In March Darrell Kamrath moved away wlth his parents into theycountry. Later, during our eighth grade year, Bob Anderson joined the clas . Miss Alice Kamrath was the teacher during these two years. At the end of the school term we took the clunky eighth grdde examinations. All the pupils passed and later most of us met at the county graduation exercises which were held at Wakefield. We received our diplomas and thus we knew that we had passed into the next grade, which meant high school. The next year, seven pupils met in the freshman class of Martinsburg High School, It was like a reunion for Darrell was again with us. Mr. Hanson was our teacher. At first we were a little frightei, but we soon felt very much at home, and a part of the high school. This was especially true after initiation. For a long tlrne we had worrleo about what the upper classrnen would do to us . We found that our worries were groundless for they played clever pranks on us and ordered us to wear clownlsh clothes for one day but did nothing to injure as so that we had more fun than they did. After that they accepted us as equal members of the school group. In everything that the school has planned or undertaken we have taken a full part so that it seems that we are not so much a separate class as members of the whole group. We only know that when the others graduate we will still be here. WN'---john Schultz Ik 1 Ill If lk 1? Roses are red, violets are blue, The fizz in your pop is C O-2.

G R A M M A R R O O M Alice Karnrath, Teacher The intermediate room has an enrollment of twenty-five pupils, nine girls and sixteen boys. Of these, two are in the fifth grade, slx in the sixth grade, slx in the seventh grade and' eleven in the eighth grade. A two days vacation was given in October to allow the teachers to attend teachers' convention. s, 1 5 i Q Q GRANIMAR Room, qconap The forst party was held on Halloween. . The last period was spent in playing various games and telling ghost stories, after which the group was treated by the teacher. During the first part of December the pupils were busy learning their various parts for the Christrnas program which was given together with the primary room. For a week, all were busy learning their parts and practicing. In connection with this, they were busy selling their tickets for a big turkey raffle. Two other prizes were given but the turkey was first. Since everyone cooperated so well, a nice sum of money was made with which things will be purchased for the school. The proceeds were divided equally between the two rooms. Work was resumed as usual after the program. A party was held a few days before Christmas. There were a Christznas tree, an exchange of gifts, and a treat for all. All then enjoyed a weeks vacation and returned with renewed energy. The girls made a Valentine box and a Valentine party was held. Every- one received many beautiful valentines. The eighth grade students are looking forward to the county examinations which will be held toward the end of the school term. Since they have only one chance this year, the majority are working hard to pass them successfully. PRIMARY ROOM---Florence White, Teacher 4' 'P 4' Pleasant Memories 4' 4' 4' Our school group this year consists of six sweet girls and sixteen lively boys. In the First Grade, jean Wilson, Mike Burke, Terry Book, Larry Carnell, and Gary Starkg Second Grade: Judith Harder, Ronald Nobbe, Paul MCardle and Pat Burke, Third Grade: Janice Schoenrock, Audrey Burke, jerry Ullrich, Melvin Carnell, Ronald Harder, Robert Rakow, Roland Stark, and Donald Koeppe: Fourth Grade: Bertha Ballerd, Barbara Lanser, Dickey Rahn, james Easy and Gerry Carnell. At the beginning of the year the forst grade class was made up of three boys whose namesrhyrned,--Terry, Larry and Gary. Later Gary was compelled to leave school on account of weak eyes. Along came a little Irish lad by the name of Mike and a sweet little brown-eyed girl by the name of jean. Now the com- Q ,, 5 L 5 V 3 X 5 5 PRINIARY Room. fCont.J petition began! Those cute little admiring side glances toward jean and the little scowls toward one another were most amusing. In the fall we enjoyed a Wiener roast and also a nature study frip to the Al Book farm to see Tery's pet raccoon. The coon did his best to entertain the group and if Terry had been able to find where his mother kept the supply of raisins the entertainment might have continued for quite some time. Our school program and box social took place in December. The young people and patrons ofthe district did much to help toward making this a success From our share of the proceeds we bought an electric wall clock, two pretty pictures, a medicine cabinet, and a metal washstand. The winners on that evening 's drawing were: MCardle family for the turkey, Carnell family for the duck, and the Michaels family for the fruit cake. Our contests in spelling and reading have been inspirational and we feel that our endeavor has been well worth while. A number of our music students are to take part in the Music Festival at Wakefield, on March 28. We like to sing, tell little jokes, give current events, and listen to inter? Qlfm stories during Opening Exercises. Our motto is: Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw such strength of mild and muscle into your work as God has given you. . pw .-,':...,.s,., , 5 Q E 1 x x ujgj' -'I . -,M A -y , ,. 1 T ii .

It insludes the duties of a student council and besides helping us to solve our problems, it also gives us training and experience in carrying on a meeting in accordance with the rules of parliementary procedure. The Students Activity Club elects each semester, a president, vice- presldent, secretary, librarian, student-manager, and lost and found mon- itor. The librarian is in charge of the schoolilihrary, loanlng books and keeping records of each. The student manager schedules athletic contests and has charge of athletic equinment. The lost and found monitor takes charge of any articles found and makes an attempt to return it to its owner. He also receives and records reports of articles lost. By this means it is usually a simple task to get lost articles placed where they belong. The other officers perform the regular duties of their office when meetings are held which is every alternative Tuesday plus special meetings. This is democracy in action. We might give a few examples oi the type of problems solved by the work of our student council. ln the autumn, when many of the pupils ate noon luneh outside, picnic style, we found that paper wrappers were thrf. wa about the yard. The student council undertook the task of cleaning up the yard and watching to keep it clean. Most of the pupils co-operated nicely. Again in the spring when unusual muddy weather was a problem because the mud accumu- lated in the hall, the pupils decided to station a monitor in the hall each day, mexnbers taking turns to rernind students to remove overshoes before entering the building. A rernarkable improvement in the appearance of the hall was noticed immediately. When we have parties or dances, this club takes charge of entertainxnent, refreshments and any other problems which arise. This year we gave a play to raise money for a sneak-day trip. We feel proud that we have a responsibility in helping to keep our school alive and living up to high standards. We understand quite well what type of problems might come under our jurisdiction and in what we would be over- stepp'ng our authority. In all our meetings, our sponsor reserves only the right of veto and we feel honored in that he has so far accepted our judgement that he has used this veto only one time in two years, Highlights' of the Year The first social event of the season took place on Friday, the thirteenth of Septeznber. An unlucky day, of course, for the Freshmen. It was initiation day for them. The boys were ordered to dress in sacks, and Jeanette, the only girl, in a bathing suit with a blanket wrapped around her. We found only two good sports out of the bunch. They were john and Jeannette Schultz. That after- 11 we played pranks on the Freshmen. About 2:30 some girls prepared lunch and served it. 5 a sg 15 5 EI n Highlights of the Year, lCont.j After initiation was over we studied hard until October Z5 when we decided to have a hard-times party. None of the boys excepting two dressed in hard- times costume butthe girls showed that they could be sports and every girl ap- peared in costume. Ann Von Minden and Johnnie Schultz won prizes as having the best hard tixnes costumes. Along towards the end of the party, a lunch was served. On the afternoon of December Z0 we had a Christmas party. We all received nice gifts from our teacher and we also exchanged gifts. About 3:30 we went home and didn't return until Decernber 30. On january 10 we planned to have a skating party but were disappointed when the ice was covered with snow, so instead of skating, we played cards until 1 1:30. The freshmen and sophomores appreciate the kindness and sportsman- ship of Mrs. Kermit Rakow, who prepared an oyster stew for our refreshrnents. We ate the oysters at 11:30 and then went home, praising her culinary skill. Our guests were the teachers from the other rooms whom we had invited. On Va1entine's day we enjoyed a party. The group had decided not to exchange Valentines but we had a wonderful time. A nice lunch was served at 2:30 by the lunch committee. On February 25, the Allen Reserves invited the Martinsburg Basketball Team to the district tournament. All of the Orioles went and enjoyed the games hugely. We are all looking forward to April eighteenth. That will be a happy day for we have selected it for our sneak day, We plan to take the bus to Qnaha. -----Marianne Rakow HIGH SCHOOL PLAY Bolts and Nuts , a comedy presented by the Martinsburg High School be- fore a full house, kept the audience well entertained during the three acts of the Play- Rebecca Bolt, manager of the Bolt Sanatariumufer people mentally ill, has a tirne when eight people pretend to be crazy so they can hunt for fifteen thous- and dollars hidden in the house by Rehecca's brother Ben.

This year, however, Mother Nature, herself, seemed to conspire with thepelements against us, for it was seldom that we could even use our outdoor field. Practice consisted largely of Coach Hanson merely giving instructions as to what were best to do or not to do, with very little practice to try methods except in actual games. The boys were eager, though and tried hard to follow instructions and to improve their skill so that they won more gaznes than they lost. Coach Everlngham of Allen, invited our Orioles to enter a round robin series. Our boys appreciated having a group of teams organized as opponents who were approximately our power. The teams we played were organized from ' Allen's surplus. We defeated the Hawks by a score of 24- to 3 on january 8. A week later we defeated the Panthers, 29 to 4. Onjanuary 22, we defeated the Wildcats Z5 to 17. But on February 19, the Allen Beavers defeated our Orioles 11 to 5. With this loss of only one game, however, Martinsburg ended the season as champions of the round robin series. The school was proud of them and Coach Hanson was happy. On February 21, they were invited to play the Allen Reserves. Although they realized that they were stepping out of their class, they accepted the invitation and amazed everyone by ending the half on the long end of the score. They had exhausted themselves by their valiant and persistent effort in the first half, how- ever, and were unable to score at all in the last half so ended by losing the game 33 to 10. The Allen boys and their Coach Everingham showed their appreciation by inviting the Orioles to accompany them to the district tournament as their guests. We vote them real sports. Coach Hanson selected Bob MCardle and Roger Zinn as the most valuable players. We are proud of the record of the entire team and feel that if it were possible to have a gym the boys would be real winners. May that day soon arrive! 2 E 5: 2 Y , E 3 H U M G R 0 I 1 1, ax Geo and John W'- Xl WxVbBx YET' o C, e Pano 'M 'la-ia que I TWINS X Oh, kid, a Guess what I 'UF'-mr E DO YOU REMEMBER ?
