Dfl r The EAGLE 1952 PuilisheJ By The Seniors McCune Rural High School )HE RICHEST TREASURE of our American heritage is the demo- cratic aspiration. Deep within this heritage lies our commitment to public education, a commitment which has grown constantly stronger with the years. We believe that our public schools are our chief and most effec- tive means of making this democratic aspiration fully meaningful in the lives of succeeding generations. John L. Mullen Treasurer Superintendent The success with which the public school does its job depends upon the interest, support, and participation of all the citizens of every American community. But more than this, it depends upon their understanding of the educational principles and practices without which the democratic aspiration cannot survive. 0. L. Heryford, B. S., M. S.

The major difference la that FFA regulations are more strict to meet, and that theoretically girls can get In the vocational agricul- ture class but definitely not Iz the FFA. It la possible to take four years of the work. The first year stu- dents are “green hands” and their activities are limited. What shop work they do la strictly “by hand but after they advance, the field opens. There are days of class work— •omplete with desks and books—and other days for work with welding equipment and cutting torches to the shop. In the class room- adorned with mottos such as “you can't be a howling suoceas just by bowling — the students work on their books and study agriculture in general. In the shop, they take •crap metal they collect and from this develop equipment needed In their farm projects, at a surpris- ingly reduced cost. Those 60 metal' gates the stu- dents have turned out were pleoes of discarded gas pipe at the Katy railroad shops in Parsons. There isn't a much better place to see modernisation of farms than right In the shop. Vocational agri- culture used to be routine class study, field trips ,«nd nailing up of wooden feed racks. Now they make the same feed racks, but that's merely a «torter. Welding tools are as much in place on the farm scene as In a foundry in a city. Actually, the class work shop looks like a foundry and little Ilk� the behind-the-scene of a farm eoulDment setup. But It Is.

Lack of reserves, weight, and experience were big factors against the chances of the McCune crew and they .seemed doomed to the cellar. However, the Earles trained hard for the forthcoming season with the opener at St. Mary’s and that game brought forth the merits of the team. Using only twelve men, the Eagles fought the Panthers to a 0-0 deadlock for three quarters until a McCune fumble was converted to a touchdown by a St. Mary's tackle with only 52 seconds remaining in the game. The Eagles were unable to score and the final score was 6-0. Next the Chetopa Green Hornets came to town riding a ten game winning streak expecting to enlarge their string at the expense of the Eagles, but they ran headlong into the Eagies still smarting from their first heartbreaking loss and the teams fought bitterly to a 21-21 tie. Cherokee was the next foe of McCune and the Eagles' hopes ran high but no one could foresee the injuries that put four regulars on the sidelines and slowed down the rest. The superior weight of the Braves on a muddy field crush- ed the Eagles by a score of 39 to 6. Traveling to Frontenac for their fourth game the Eagles were simply out- classed by Bob Smalley and Company and the Raiders romped to a 52-7 win. The Girard passing attack proved too much for McCune as the Trojans took to the air for a AO-6 win to hand the Eagles their fourth defeat. Fighting back the Eagles scored twenty-six points against the Arma Bulldogs but the Bulldogs roared through with forty-five to amass a nineteen point vic- tory margin. After a week’s rest the Eagles trained hard for their final game against Arcadia and the Eagles came through with a solid 27-7 victory over the helpless Bearcats. The Eagles finished the season with a record of one win, five losses, and one tie, and finished fifth in the tough Cee-Cee League. Playing their last year for McCune are eight senior starters led by their truly great backfield ace and Captain, Jack Medlin. The others include Co-Cap- tain Don Henderson, Harold Millard, Jerry Cares, Jack Bateman, Francis Weber, Bill Metcalf, and Ben Tillman. Returning starters are Fred Perkins, Kenneth Fox, and Jim Clark along with a bright freshman prospect, John Quenoy, who became a first team defensive end after the start of the season. Jerry Cares Harold Hillard Bill Metcalf Ben Tillman Francis M,eber Jack Bateman Jim Clark Jack Medlin Fred Perkins ' O Tonirny Heskett dica (Education The basic philosophy of physical education is that only through vigorous, natural play activities in large amounts can the pupil grow in all aspects of his being, that is, into a sturdy, skillful, alert, and option- ally and socially competent member of his society. tBa fketfUdt Coo Cee League Tournament We They 58 Cherokee 1 7 35 Arma 1 9 58 Girard 65 We They 52 Hepler 1 1 57 St. Marys 51 1 5 St. Francis 55 71 Arcadia 50 39 Mineral 60 1 9 Cherokee 1 3 1 3 Arma 50 kb Frontenac 53 1 8 Girard 61 61 Arcadia 51 1 6 Girard 61 1 1 Arma 1 8 1 1 Frontenac 67 61 Cherokee 62 McCune Eagles began the District Tournament We They 38 St. Francis 51 Cast in their familiar role of underdogs the 1951-52 basketball season with four returning lettermen, all starters. Very small comparatively, the Eagles main hope was to outshoot the compe- tition and with this effort they were able to turn in a creditable 7 won, 11 lost record for the season. Center Jack Moore was the tallest man on the squad and did a fine job of rebounding against many taller men. He could make his share of points on a good night and often came through with an important clutch play. Wee Willie Metcalf was small but mighty and put many a bigger man to shame with his deadly corner shot. A sure ball handler he will be hard to replace. Jack Medlin often led the team in scoring and was well known throughout the league for his stellar performances. Curly had a jump shot that was beautiful to watch and was his main point maker. Fiery Jim Clark was a terrific shot and made many on outside shots and drives through the middle. A Junior, Jim has another year of comDetition. Dependable Don Howell was the teams best ball handler and was always in the right place at the right time. Never a high scorer, Howell's value lay in his ability to get the ball in to the center men. Not to be forgotten are Fred Perkins and Larry Kelly who won letters as reserves this year. Junior, Merle Fincher settled down after the season's start and gained enough poise to be counted on for next season. Bobby Moulds, although not a letterman, saw action in many games and was a valuable addition to the club. Behind tnese men are the players who comprise tne Eagles second team. Since a teams strength lies in its reserves the Eagles would have found it difficult to win a game without these men. In non-league play McCune won two and lost three. The Eagles beat Hepler and St. Marys, lost to St. Francis twice and to Mineral once. In league play the Eagles finished fourth with a l -6 record. They beat the Arcadia Bearcats and Cherokee Braves twice and lost to Frontenac, Arma, and Girard twice. In the Cee Cee league tournament the McCune Club again finished fourth. They beat Cherokee in the opening round of play but lost to Arma and Girard on successive nights. The Eagles were knocked out of the-district tournament by St. Francis. It was a hard game, but a credit to the club, nevertheless. Fred Perkins Don Henderson Jack Moore Merle Fincher Larry Kelley Jack Medlin Bobby Moulds Donald Howell Jimmie Clark Bill Metcalf John Quenoy Francis ,,Teber Harold Millard Carl Bronson Morris Kernick Allen Brintnall Charles Muroock Ralph Baldwin Tomn y Heskett Jjaick With nine lettermen to build around and the return of several other good trackmen the prospects for track are good this year. With the added years experience McCune should have one of the better teams in the district. The returning lettermen are Jack Medlin, Jack Moore, Bill Metcalf, Don Henderson. Jim Clark, Bob Moulds, Junior Rentfro, Bill Nutt, and Morris Kernick. Iron ton Jack Moore is probably the best discus throv� er in this area and should improve on his last years showing which saw him take fourth place ii the State meet. In addition to this he won first in several dual trackmeets. Jack Medlin, the Jim Thorpe of the squad is a sizzling 100 yard dash man, a very fine shot-putter, and one of the best javelin throwers in the league. Just to pass the time away he also runs in the mile relay. Bill Metcalf will help take up the slack in the pole-vault. Bill also runs the low hurdles and is a valuable addition to the medley. Don Henderson should improve over his last vears showing in the medley. uash-man Jim Clark will also provide competition in the broad jump, mile relay, and his specialty, the quarter. Junior Rentfro will return to take his place as the half-miler in the med- ley relay. Bobby Moulds will assist Clark in the dashes and broad jump besides run- ning the medley. Lanky Bill Nutt should pace off a fine quarter and add squad strength to the dashes. The mile is well represented by sophomore Morris Kernick who sets a hard pace desrite his size. Francis Weber will be the Eagles half-miler and the tall guy will do all right for himself with the experience he gained last year. The high hurdles and high jump are weak spots on the squad but a number of hopefuls could develop as the season progresses. New Record?

Somewhat confused we determined to erase the looks of pity that the upper classmen gave us and to banish the thought silly freshmen from their minds. Finding that Superintendent Heryford and the faculty were very understanding put us at ease and we began to get organized. We chose as our President, Jack Medlin; Vice-President, Bonnie Cockrell; Secretary-Treasurer, Bonita Stewart. Bonita was also chosen as our Cheerleader. Our Sponsor was Mrs. King. The following 36 names were on the class role: Harold Millard, Phyllis Painter, Helen McGown, Ann Riggs, Marjorie Ulbrich, Charles Shanholtzer, Leland Orem, Dorothy Nelson, Barbara Parsons, Roberta Bloomer, Raymond Hartman, John Hiller, Raemae Lee Stewart, Jerry Cares, Jack Moore, Freddy Quirin, Ted Gardenhire, Henry Carnali, Lorna Jo Barnes, Lynn Baldwin, Robert Smith, Johnny Spendal, Glenna Buckle, Dean Murdock,Don Render- son, Anna Mae McElwain, Max Allen, Paul Collins, Loren Smith, Francis Weber . In the role of sophomores we began to gain distinction for our scholastic and extra-curricular achievements. Our class officers were: President, Harold Millard; Vice-President, Bonita Stewart; Secretary-Treasurer, Alice Davison, Cheerleader, Bonita Stewart; and Class Sponsor Miss Calhoun. We lost Paul Col- lins, Loren Smith, Johnny Wise, Bonnie Cockrell, Henry Carnali.RobertaBloomer, Leland Orem, Robert Smith, and Glenna Buckle but gained Robert Adams and John Clark. In our Junior year we hit our stride and our work stands as a proud monu- ment to the members of our class. Our class officers were: President, Jack Medlin; Vice-President, Jerry Cares; Secretary-Treasurer, Ann Riggs; and our Cheerleader Bonita Stewart. Mrs. Green was our Sponsor. Clara Dill and Jack Bateman joined us in the fall of 1950, although Clara left us shortly after the start of the second semester. Ben Tillman joined us near the close of our Junior year. A great number of our boys took part in athletics, many earning letters. Our Junior-Senior banquet followed the theme of the Stork Club and the people who attended will long remember it as an evening of quiet, beauty, and dignity. We had the honor of having Raymond Hartman and Ann Rigrs chosen FHA King and FFA Queen, respectively. Our Junior Play The Gate to Happiness, coached by Mrs. Leah Green, came close to breaking a record for attendance and was a great hit. The members of the cast were: Jack Medlin, Jack Bateman, Harold Millard, Francis Weber, Ann Riggs, Bonita Stewart, Alice Lou Davison, Marjorie Ulbrich, and Bill Metcalf. In 1951 we became known as Seniors and we gloried in the title. What did it matter that a long hard year of work lay ahead. Hadn't we already completed the three roughest years in a brilliant way? Confidently we began our fourth year and selected as our officers: President, Jack Medlin; Vice-President, Harold Millard; Secretary-Treasurer, Alice Lou Davison; Cheerleader, Bonita Stewart; and Miss Turkington as our Class Sponsor. Our athletes were: Jack Medlin, Jerry Cares, Jack Moore, Harold Millard, Bill Metcalf, Jack Bateman, Don Henderson, Francis Weber, and Ben Tillman We were sorry to lose Dean Murdock, Lorna Jo Barnes, Dorothy Nelson, and John Clark. Lovely Alice Lou Davison was crowned Fall Festival Queen and our hearts lifted with pride at her triumph. For the second consecutive year we had the FHA King and FFA Queen. They were Jack Moore and Phyllis Painter. To add to our dignity we had the FHA President, Marjorie Ulbrich; Y-teen President, Bonita Stewart; FFA President, Raymond Hartman; and Pep Club Presi- dent, Alice Lou Davison. We enjoyed a wonderful night of pleasure at the expense of the Juniors as they entertained us at the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Bess Hotel in Pittsburg. Our Senior Play The Bishop's Mantle , coached by Mrs. Leah Green, was a grand success with the following cast: Jack Medlin, Francis Weber, Bill Met- calf, Jack Bateman, Harold Millard, Ann Riggs, Bonita Stewart, Alice Lou Davi- son, Phyllis Painter, Raemae Lee Stewart, Marjorie Ulbrich, and Helen McGown. Now we have come to the end of the four years of our high school career. Ahead of us lies the great unknown but we will push on with the same courage that we have shown in our school days. Although we may be widely separated we will never forget our happy school associations at MRHS. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Heryford and the facu- ty for their assistance in preparing us for our life's work. We hope to make our parents, the faculty and the entire community proud of our achievements. , CL PropL iecV Alice Lou Davison On a summer afternoon I sat down to read. The air was very sultry and there seemed to be scarcely any wind. Then the wind changed, black clouds appeared in the once serene sky. Little drops of rain began to fall softly making the atmosphere cool and refreshing. I lay in a hammock on the porch, and everything being quiet and the air cooler, I dropped into a sound slumber. I was in a large passenger plane flying across the United States. As we were flying over Oregon I noticed that there seemedtobe a terrible log jam. But when I saw that Theodore Gardenhire was the head lumber jack I knew everything would soon be straightened out. We moved from there to Hollywood, California where, while cruising over we heard the melodeous crooning of Frank Sinatra II. Of course this is Harold Millard. He makes the girls swoon more than Frankie ever could have. As we sailed over the northwestern part of the country we saw a large dude ranch, owned by Helen McGown. Raymond Hartman was the center of attrac- tion. He was decked out in a cowboy suit, high-heeled boots and a ten gallon hat. J J ) } J } J J ; j j j j j I wanted to see more of the dude ranch, but there wasn’t time. In Las Vagas, Nevada, I saw a large sign, Henderson Motor Company formerly known as General Motors. Donald Henderson is president of this firm. I see that his secretary is Anna Mae McElwain. She seems to have been quite fortunate in getting the position of secretary to a big shot like Mr. Henderson. Whilewewere cruising over Colorado,a huge dam under construction loomed into view. Just as noticable as the dam, however, was a bunch of flappers centered around the civil engineer, Jack Medlin. He was not only engineering the project, but all the girls from miles around. While still in Colorado we flew over a small town. In the early morning quiet we heard the clatter of milk bottles. Why, it's Jerry Cares, he must be the regular milk man. I remember that in the old days he always liked to sit up all night, and that undoubtedly explains his choice of occupation. We then sailed over Lawrence, Kansas. We saw there the famous Professor Weber. He is now head of the Electrical Engineering Department at the Univer- sity of Kansas. As we flew over Kentucky the Kentucky Derby was just ending. The jockey on the winning horse was our little friend, Max Allen. Doesn’t Max look fine amid all the fame and honor! Our next stop was Chicago, I noticed a great crowd of people crowded around a news stand. No wonder—the latest edition of the Chicago Tribune just came off the press and the headlines are: JACK MOORE SETS NEW DISCUS THROWING RECORD. Jack threw it 225 feet. Also in the Tribune was Norman McMahan’s picture. Norman has now souped up his car so it will go 350 miles an hour. While in the Art Museum of Detroit I noticed a machine labeled with the following card The Doeverything, the invention that made Jack Bateman famous. This machine gets the meals, washes the dishes, gets the children off to school and even has an automatic arm that reaches out and whips little Willie when he drags the cat around by the tail. At the Mayo Brothers Clinic the head doctor now is Marjorie Ulbrich, the most famous woman doctor of all times. Her assistant is Miss Phyllis Painter. They both look very striking in their white uniforms. As we flew over Atlantic City the Mrs. America Contest of 1962 seemed to be in progress. One of the leading candidates is the former Bonita Stewart. Bonita informs us that Ben Tillman just won the Mr. America Contest. It is said that Ben has one of the best phsiques in history. As we were skimming over Washington D. C., we saw Barbara Parsons as private secretary to the president of the United States, Bill Metcalf. Barbara as you know has won many National Awards for her speed in shorthand. While still in Washington we also saw a member of the president’s cabinet, Secretary of Agriculture, John Hiller. Along with John are his undersecre- taries Charles Shanholtzer and Johnny Spendal. These boys seem to have done quite well for themselves. On the last lap of our journey we were in New York City. An exquisite little dress shop caught my eye. No wonder—the clothes in this shop are designed by the famous designer, Madam Rae Mae. This as you have probably quessed is kaemae Lee Stewart. The trim little model working there is Ann Riggs. Ann has certainly kept her girlish figure. Suddenly I was awakened by a loud crash of thunder. Why, of course I have only been dreaming but even if it were only a dream it was fun. I won- der do dreams every come true?
