IrrUJJJI , The Senior Class presented the play, Deer Daffodil, May 6, 1948. The three-act comedy was very entertaining. Mr. Leamons, director of the play, w8s presented a gift by the cast to show their appreciation. Daffodil Coleman, generally nicknamed Daffy, was always getting her family in trouble. Her latest adventure was the most serious. Daffy, Joan Gast, had written for eight months to a soldier end in her letters had varnished the truth quite a little bit about her family. Her father, Arnold Werner, is a bandmaster in the village park actually, but Daffy hod elevated him to a symphonic leader and composer. Mrs. Coleman, Dorothy Schutt, had a little artistic talent, but in the varnishing she had become a well-known artist whose work was very much in demand. Cora, an older sister, played by Theresa Motz, changed from a shrinking violet to a crimson poppy as a result of the letters. Charles, a seventeen year old brother, Don Johnson, was the usual brat, but Daffy hod made him a Golden Glove contender. Another sister, Dorothea, Betty Arrison. wes a snob, but was described es a heart breaker to the soldier, Kent Merrill. When Kent, Bob Werner. came for a visit, the family was on a spot. Jim Carver, Norman Wright, was on admirer of Dorothea which becomes complicated after the arrival of Kent. John J. Coleman, a lawyer, V11 ton Pugh, who unfortunately had the same name as Daffy's father, was involved in the family's trouble. Miss Ihorpe, Dons Glaze, made a sketch of Dsffy which created another complication. Duane Van Gundy, played the part of Ellsworth Norton, who had courted Cora for seven years. As customary the pley ends, and everyone lives happily ever after. v - THe TaJ n r1 DU M] Cl ] It was autunui in the year 1944, as the bell sadly tolled the death of three months' vacation, when sixteen Freshles assembled on the east side of the assembly. Somehow, we lived through Initiation and found courage enough to hold our first class meeting and elect officers. Our number decreased when we lost Leon Sellin and Eugene Werner In the freshman year, and Charles Jenkins, Phyllis Klelder, Esther Swarm end Jim Schurmen during the sophomore year. With the beginning of our last year, the cless numbered eleven with the addition of Done Glaze, a fugitive from Norfolk. When we returned as Sophomores end found we were no longer the object of upper-classmen's Jokes, we began to enjoy the fun and take part In high school life. We enjoyed a year of work sprinkled with a few parties. As we took our places as Juniors the following year. It was then that we demonstrated Just how successfully we could menage the job of being a class In MGHS. This year. In addition to having parties, we had the responsibility of the class play and the junior-senior banquet. Our three act play, Mystery In the Library, went over with a bang. The banquet was an exceptionally pretty one. The theme was Ye Olde South. This class has been justly proud of Its athletic record all through high school, having several four-year lettermen In baseball end basketball, and also track the lest two years. As Seniors, we started the year with true Senior pep and elected officers end a sponsor to pilot us through this most important year. Sneak day was 8 very welcome change for both the Seniors and the lower c The Seniors enjoyed themselves very much touring the city of Lincoln. During this ssme week they were also the honored guests at the banquet given by the Juniors. The Senior class play, Dear Daffodil, was a cheering success, not a howling one. Thus we have seen In the history of the cless of '48 the evolution from Freshmen to Senior. May we continue to grow in such a manner when we become Freshmen in i.ty VHTmry, r. r y; vm v {vs :i i: 'v � .v n'.v %’s .-swim rjUftiJ PjIDPU CY I don't know why I ate all that chill last night—and at my age, tool I haven't eaten that much junk In twenty years--not since I was a Senior In good old Meadow Grove H. S. That year--chlll and hamburgers were our favorite foodq and a chill hangover like I have today was nothing unusual. I suppose It was the effects of the chill because, that evening I just couldn't concentrate on the comic strip of the latest paper. My mind began to wander over the years gone by. Hearing a slight noise—I looked around. Mighty Mouse was therel Quietly he said, I have come. President Werner, to take you where you want most to go. I said, Just call me Bob. Where do I want to go? I want to visit every member of the best darn class that ever graduated from Meadow Grove High School. Mighty Mouse replied, You are as good as there. Bob. In a jiffy we had reached Greeley College wnere Norman Wright Ph. D. (poor, hard-working drip) was busy In his Chemistry Lab. His students have learned- long ago that there was no use arguing with him because he was always Wright. Bangl a terrible explosion. Dr. Wright was wrong. I could see this was not the moment to stop for a visits so we hurried on to a beautiful farm place near my old home town of M. G., where my cousin. Arnold Werner, and his fair-haired bride of twenty years ago met me In the yard. I had heard that Arnold was the best farmer In Madison Co. and the evidence was everywhere. At the sound of the patter f little feet I noticed that Arnold leaned over and patted with affection the blacl$ curly heads of several little thoroughbred pigs. They—with several boys who were in high school—were his pride and joy. As I turned to go a helicopter landed on the lawr and who should come striding toward me but Duane Van Gundy In the uniform of a State Policeman. He was Investigating the robbery that had occurred at the M. G. airport the night before. Two packages of bubble gum had disappeared. Duane said all clues pointed to JoAnn Perry and Gloria Kohl. I drove down Meadow Grove Avenue to a very prosperous section of the city, where I soon located the Swankee Beautee Shackee of Theresa Motz. I was unable to visit with her because Don Sparr was jealously picketing the entrance with a No Men Allowed sign. ■' I'J I,.1 W � A W - • ■� •=...................................... i TVIWVJ ■yrrx BUBKAS 'WWiXi S'rM- Lli]BDp;jf)P!J VcoNT. I next found myself among the 3ky-scrapers of New York City. Turning around and 'round, I finally located the window with the words—Dorothy Schutt. Public Stenographer. In a few minutes—after fighting my way past several secretaries, I stood In her presence. She was the same gracious Dorothy of our high school days. Her success hadn't changed her. I learned that her real name was Mrs. Vanderbilt Van Aster, but In spite of her husband's wealth, she still preferred her career. Prom Dorothy I learned that Dona Glaze la now fulfilling her lifelong dream of saleslady In Saks Fifth Avenue. She had an opportunity of meeting Mary Worth once back In 1950. Maybe that accounts for her success. On my wsy home I casually picked up the latest Post Magazine and received a big thrill when I saw the name Don Johnson In bold print under a picture of the St. Louis Cardinals. Evidently little Don ate his Wheatles and grew to be a blg-tlme ball player. I wonder whatever became of all the beautiful silk shirts he used to wear? Next I boarded a streamliner—Rhode Island bound. About twenty miles from the 3tate capltol In a desolate uninhabited area, I was able to find my old pal--Mllton Pugh. He Is raising Rhode Island Reds. He says they are still the only chicks he can talk to without blushing. Still the same old bachelor at heart. During a stop-over In Denver, I wandered Into a ten cent store to pick up my weekly supply of corn pads. I heard e familiar touch at the grand piano and stepping over to the music counter to see who might be playing Cheer! Cheer! For Meadow Grove Fame, I saw a stunning and graceful lady. When Joan Gast turned around, I was really suprised. She told me she was In the dog house that day because she was late to work (Train on the Track) Our helicopter was forced to land in Albuquerque, New Mexico for g83 so with a few minutes to spare I decided to look the town over a little. As I passed a big department store on Main Street, I spotted a familiar face In the window. There was Betty Arrlson pinch hitting for a manikin and modeling jeans and plaid shirts. Just at this point—the telephone wakened me. It was Ken Carpenter telling me to hurry down and tske Bing's spot on the radio. = | = 1 UG7 UiJU flDD 7£StflHJiD7 We, the Seniors, of Mesdow Grove High School, being of sound mind end memory, do meke, publish end declare this our lest will end testement, in manner and form 8s follows: FIRST: To the Board of Education thet has so generously provided for us during these four years, we do hereby bequeath all the mice in the Home Ec. room, ell the autographs in the wings of the stage, and what is left of the creaky stairs, these same to be held In trust for the succeeding grades.

The officers were: President, Barry Daniel; Vice President, Jerome Staub; Secretary, Dale Ellis; Treasurer, LeOra Wieting At Hd.lloween we sponsored an all high school party which was very successful. We decided to give our Junior play on November 14. The name of it was The Deacon Entangled, a comedy in three acts. On May 11, we gave the annual Junior-Senior banquet. During the first semester Harold Koetter and Allen Glaze dropped from our ranks, and Vertis Nathan was added to our group the second semester. Not a one of us will ever forget the fun we had during our Junior year, and we 8re all looking forward to our last year In Good Old Meadow Grove High. ■ g.auiWT)T-- : wiwzv xxw: vs.y.ss. Members of the faculty, their husbands and wlve% Mr. and Mrs. Switzer, and members of the Senior Class were guests of the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held May 11, 1948. The theme of the banquet was a night club setting, end was decorated with the Senior class colors, orchid snd white. The banquet was prepared by the Mothers of the Juniors and the Sophomore girls served the meal. The Toast Mistress was LeOra Wletlng. The program consisted of several musical numbers, speeches, and a moving picture. ■f!J£ U OT MflSIilf The Junior Class presented their play The Deacon Entangled, November 14, 1947. The play was directed by Mr. Retzlaff who was assisted by Misses Ruth 8nd Miriam Roberts. The Cast was: Deacon Penrose, Ross Switzer; Calvin Spangler, Dale Ellis; Rev. Dr. Sopher, Boyd James; Harry Baxter, Don Sparr; Mr. Rafferty, Elden Flchter; A plain clothes man, Jerome Staub; Mrs. Penrose, LeOra Wletlng; Ruth, Daphne Collins; Georgia, Clara Belle Terry; Katy, Barbara Hansen. The play centered around Calvin Spangler who came to visit his aunt and uncle and fell In love with the minister's daughter. In attempting to show his uncle, the Deacon, a good time, the two find themselves spending the night In jail. Imagine the gossip when the people hear that the Deacon and Calvin, a supposed student of the ministry, have spent the night In jail. The day of the crucial game arrived. Nearly everybody's reputation and peace of mind depended upon the outcome. In the hair-raising tenth Inning, Cal unlimbered his trusty pitching arm and delivered the punch that saved the day for all concerned. He proved In the end, that he was a pinch hitter in the affhlrs of real life as well as upon the diamond.
