' Senior Class History As we look back upon that outstanding day, September 9, 1936, memories of eighty-seven little freshmen-commonly called green',-come to mind. After several days of inactivity, we gathered our forces and with Miss Kunkel and lllr. Hartwell to advise us, elected the following officers: President, Ivan Brink, Vice-President, James Davidsong Secretary, Althea Everittg and Treasurer, Carole Moody. A good interlnural showing and the sponsorship of a skating party had sufficiently nurtured our self-confidence to stand any trials. Summer soon passed and we found ourselves Sophomores. The time had now come when we could sit back and watch this yearis crop of new students. lVe did our best to see that they were properly initiated into this amazing insti- tution known as SCHOOL. Jimmie Robinson, Althea Everitt, Bill Kauphus- man and Alvin Jordan acted as the crew while Miss Kunkel and Mr. Henderson were in command. A scavenger hunt, marshmallow roast and a skating party comprised our activities in the social season but in athletics we were neither insignificant nor a class to be trifled with for we had in our possession the half-holiday, the most coveted of all interclass athletic awards. Gaining in knowledge and culture, we advanced to the Junior year. Many of our boys were on the varsity squads, and again we won the half-holiday. The Junior Class play, Attorney for the Defense, was a dramatic success. For the first time the Juniors held the Junior-Senior Prom in the new audi- torium. Hilton Dick, Bessie Haskin, Carole Moody, and James Davidson we1'e elected to the official positions aided by the splendid help of Mr. Henderson. Our fourth year has exceeded our expectations. Our class has excelled in athletics, and the half-holiday race is still in a deadlock. Now we are closing our days of education at M. H. S. VVe have been a very fortunate group of young people, and we have made many friends. lVe wonder what the future has in store for us, but whatever success it holds we know that in some small way we will be able to trace that success to our high school days. 7 ALICE AnAMs A ddiev Basketball 1-2-3 Baseball 1-2 Home Economics Club 2 Yell Leader 2-3-4 Girl Reserves 3 G.

Senior Class Flower - - American Beauty Rose Senior Class Colors ------ Red and Silver Senior Class Motto - The stair to success is the one We are climbing 4 Senior Class Prophecy It was on July 15, 1950, the day had been dark and dreary with the rain descending in a torrential downpour and here I was in my automobile, stranded miles from my destination, New York City. My vacation had turned out to be far from what I had hoped. There had been rain every day. With nothing to do but to wait for the rain to cease so that I could see my way clearly, I turned on the radio. Very soon there came to my ears the voice I well knew, that of N. B. C.'s famous radio announcer, Warne Schaap, who was just then introducing the internationally known crystal-gazer, Zabriskie, who had lived while a young man at Meridian, Idaho. He had been known then as Stewart Clelen. I thought and thought where I had heard that name before, and finally memories of my high school days came to mind, and I recognized the name as that of one of my classmates. While I was reminiscing, Zabriskie had announced his program, and I soon heard that on this initial program Messieur Zabriskic was going to tell what his classmates of the graduating class of 19440, all Whom he had not seen since, had been doing for the past ten years. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. As we open our program we see Leonard Brown, who did such a fine job of playing the drums in the M. H. S. band, now directing a swing band with the winter's engagement at the Waldorf-Astoria. Robert DuVal1 is Leonard's A-1 saxaphone player. Amy Jossis, that little blonde Swedish girl, has just received the good news that she has won the Miss America, 1950, contest. James Davidson is working out his new Zephyr on the salt bed at Salt Lake in preparation for his next try at breaking the previous world's record. Our former student body president, Jimmie Robison, has just signed a new con- tract with the New York Yankees. His wife, the former Althea Everitt, is pianist for the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Ruth Davis is a capable stewardess with the United Air Lines operating between San Francisco and the Hawaiian Islands. We see that she stops off quite regularly at Santa Catalina where Dan Compton is working as manager of the branch ofiiee of the Dole Pineapple Company. Mrs. Warren Hill is teaching ballroom dancing at her home in Los Angeles. We see Olive Forkner signing a contract with the Technicolor Film Co. for the lead in Glamour Girl, written by Harry Robertson, the noted playwright. He and his wife, Betty, and their small daughter live in Pasadena. At Wimbledon, England, we see that Carol Gregory has just won the Wimbledon tennis loving cup for the third consecutive year. Now we see Kathryn Lower who will soon graduate from a special course at the Mayo Clinic, and already has been given a position in that same institution. In San Diego, Charles Howell and Alvin Jordan are training for U. S. Govern- ment service-Alvin with the Marines, and Charles in the airplane division of the Army. We knew that Romeo Ray Newman would succeed. He's playing professional basketball with a team that is touring the U. S. Also winning games, we see.

The child passes through the many trying stages into maturity, in time to become the parent of new generations. Likewise, in the advancement of science and knowledge the child derives the profits from seeds sown by his ancestors, and by increasing the amount planted he augments the harvest which is handed down to future generations budding forth in new inventions and increased knowledge. This is the rule of the ages and the trunk of civilization. In this rather prolonged stage of metamorphosis-our education-we Juniors smile at the world, half filled with joy and half with remorse. Joy that we are leaving behind our childish ways, and regret that we have not built a firmer foundation for our future life. VVe fully comprehend that we are Juniors, but juniors in what? Is it be- cause we are approaching our last school days or is it because we are about to embark upon our voyage into this mysterious outer world with a lack of sufficient experience and wisdom? As for approaching our last school days, that cannot be because all life is a continuous school, but as for being Without sufficient tools to work with, that is our own fault and can be remedied only at the present time, not in the past or the future. -WM.

Fear and trembling knees are slowly disappearing, leaving a more subdued and dignified group. fWe hopej Little Herbert Everitt's head is growing bigger because the responsibility of carrying the Sophomore burdens are on his young shoulders. Always by his side are Mildred Jordan, Marguerite Curtis and Kathryn Scott. Leap year, so the girls outran the boys! Athletics are sure to he a success under the leader- ship of Shirley Whipple and Benny Bolen. Fun and bumps were with us on the night of December 28, 1939, when we skated at White City Park. In March the Sophomores had the chance of their high school days. Imagine inviting your heart-throb to the dance. You guessed it, a leap-year dance. Always willing to lend a helping hand and always behind us were our class advisors, Miss Mills, Mr. C. J. Miller and Mr. Colwell Miller. With knowledge, experience, and a Sophomore year behind us, we are pre- pared to enter into the destiny of a Junior Class. 1lxIILDRED JORDAN.

We were at least a week getting our rooms situated in our mind. A search- ing party was sent out now and then to locate the ones that got lost on the way. Traflic jams were quite common until we learned to step aside when we saw an upper-classman coming. About the middle of the first semester we got up enough courage to have a skating party at White City Park. VVe had a good time and a large party. In inter-mural games the Freshmen did quite well for themselves. We won a few of the games, which we considered good for us. A few Freshmen dropped out now and then, but were mostly replaced by incoming students. Spring fever attacked around April lst and we weren't worth anything for a good month. We set our brakes on May the first and finally came to stop May 17. After a fine year as Freshmen, we hope to have another one as successful in our second year at Meridian High School. --STANLEY RYAIIS.

S Baseball Nineteen thirty-nine baseball showed a rapid increase in the interest for this sport. This fact was especially noticeable in the large number of students who turned out this year and who expect to turn out for next spring's team. The squad as a whole showed praiseworthy enthusiasm for the entire season. Under the popular coach, team compiled the following record: Mr. Henderson, our Meridian Meridian Meridian Meridian 3 Eagle 5 Nampa ll Franklin 0 Nampa Meridian Meridian Meridian Meridian Meridian Franklin 8 Star 1 Kuna 12 Eagle 5 Oppon. 42 This shows a record of 5 wins and 3 losses, which is considered a very V good percentage in organized baseball. Special mention should be made of the thrilling game with Nampa at Meridian. This was only our second game of the season, but the players showed remarkable finishing power as they scored in the tenth inning of a scheduled seven-inning game to nose out the strong Bulldog squad. Letter winners were: Brown, Burke, Coggins, Friend, Hill, Howland, Jordan, McFarland, Potts, Robison, and D. Watson. Potts will be the only letter Winner lost by graduation, so next year's squad shows great promise. It is hoped that a league of A schools will be formed next year. Tennis BACK ROW-Ivan Brink, Kent Barber, Rodney Frost, Carol Gregory, Mr. Patch. FRONT ROW-Katherine Scott, Martha Hughell, Carole Moody, Wayne Mosman. GIRLS' TENNIS Meridian High School was represented in the inter-scholastic tennis meet for the 19:58-39 seasons by the following girls: Martha Hughell, first singles, Carol Gregory, second singles, Carole Moody and Carol Gregory, first doublesg Martha Hughell and Kathryn Scott, second doubles. A few of the schools they competed against were Nampa, Caldwell, Mountain Home, and Wilder. ln the State High School Tournament held in Boise in May, Martha Hughell went to the finals by defeating Mary Storey from Nampa. But in the finals she was defeated by Miss Strefus of 'l'win Falls. Carole Moody and Carol Gregory went to the semi-finals by victories over Caldwell, but they were defeated by Twin Falls. BOYS' TENNIS The 1939 tennis club experienced one of its worst seasons in years as we went down to defeat before many of our 1938 victims. However, as the season progressed we gained con- fidence and skill until we finally turned the tables on two of our early season conquerors. 'l'bere will be many promising new players who hope to step into the shoes of the departing members. Those winning letters were Frost, Barber, Douglas, Brink, and Mosman. Barber and Frost, both three-year lettermen, will he missing from next year's squad. First Match. Second Match Opponents M. II. S. Opponents M. H. S.

I'Au'1'lci1-.xx'1's: Foreign entertainers residing at the Lodge, doing their native dances. On the evening of May 3, the lawn of the Meridian High School was magically transfigured into that of the famous Sun Valley Lodge. The Honor Group formed the recessional and made their way to the throne where the King and Queen were crowned. From their throne overlooking the Valley, they saw the traditional winding of the May Pole. Before their view passed all the color and excitement typified by old world natives. From their own native Indian tribes braves had come to dance for them the age-old VVar Dance. From far off Hungary had come the country's best dancers to present the Csebogar. Not to be outdone by the Old VVorld, the famed l'. S. Olympic Tumbling Team put on a show for the King and Queen that would rival any. Norway added its picturesque note when the Norwegian Mountain Climbers presented their march. Bohemia has lived in the hearts of men as a symbol of romance. Laughter, music and joy all hold a bit of Bohemia. From this land of romance comes the Kanafaska, a dance that speaks all of joy. Nothing is too distant to deny our King and Queen, and their next per- formers are from Mexico. La Cucaracha, the rhumba that tells more of Mexico than words will ever tell. The Swedish Drill Team makes its bid for fame and draws to a close this picture of international fiesta.

Mrs. Fanny Farnham, Larry's aunt, who lives with Larry, refuses to have a child in the house. When Charlie arrives they find she is not only a grown girl, but a very ignorant and ugly girl. VVith Charlie is an old man, Uncle Aleck Twiggs, who says he has come to look after Charlie. Everybody is very rude to Charlie and won't even try to help her. Finally, after everyone is turning against Charlie and also Larry, Charlie agrees to go away to school. Vivian Smythe-Kersey, her mother and brother, Mortimer, snub Charlie and refuse to be friends until Larry gets rid of Charlie. After Charlie comes home from school she is a beautiful girl and everyone is glad to see her, except the Smythe- Kersey's. Although many men have asked Charlie to marry them, she waits until Larry Hnds out he is in love with her and asks her to marry him. Many laughs are provided by Mortimer Smythe-Kersey, also by Nora Malone, the cook. . - CAST or CHARACTERS Nora Malone, cook at Elliott home - - - - Janie Ulmer Oyficer Tim M cGrill, Nora's sweetheart - Clarence Wallace Mrs. Fannie Farnham, Larry's aunt Winnie Lou Sherman Larry Elliott, a young business man - - VVilliam Davidson Ted Hartley, his old-time college pal - Lloyd Powell Vivian Smythe-Kersey, Larry's fiancee Geraldine Jordon Uncle Aleck Twiggs, in charge of Charlie - Alvin Dick Charlie Hopps, Larry's ward - - - - Emily Walt Mrs. Caroline Smythe-Kersey, Vivian's mother Barbara Welker Mortimer Smythe-Kersey, Vivian's brother - - Billy Jewell 42 CAST OF CHA RACTE RS Ride 'Em, Cowboy! On the plateaus of the Rocky Mountains there still remains a remnant of the old, colorful West, though it is fast falling to the inevitable march of American civilization. The cattle range of yester year becomes the Dude Ranch of today. Rose McCoy is at last forced to make the modern transition. Rose had inherited the ranch from her father. She also inherited a mortgage held by the erstwhile Denver financier, Jim Wilkes. In order to make the required interest payments she finds it necessary to convert the BAR Q into a Dude Ranch, much to the disgust of Buck Thomas and Tumble Weed, two cowboys of the old school where men were men. Come Sandra Billingslea, a charming Denver debutante, and chaperon, Aunt Helena, ac- companied by the very English Sir Basil Bakingham, the initial paying guests. Rose, who through communication with Jim Wilkes, is expecting the financier's daughter, Joan, to arrive, mistakes Sandra for Joan. Meanwhile Rose puts forth special effort to give the ranch a Western Flavor, even going so far as to inform the guests that the days of the bandits are not over, and dressing her pretty Mexican chef, Pepeta, in elaborate Spanish costume. The bandit threat is particularly exciting, since the Denver papers have been headlining a lone bandit named Black Pete who has been terrorizing Dude Ranches in that territory. Follows the arrival of .loan Wilkes and her friend, Pearl StoHer. Joan's principal reason for coming to the ranch is to escape Sir Basil Bakingham, whom she has never met and whom her father invited with a view to arranging a suitable match for his daughter. Judge of her surprise on finding that a charming girl is fraudulently masquerading as herself, and is aided and abbetted by Sir Basil Bakingham. Then the never-to-be-forgotten ride over the plains. It falls to the lot of Tumble Weed to act as instructor and guide for Aunt Helena and Pearl, while Buck Thomas is to rule the galloping destiny of Sir Basil, Joan and Sandra. What happens to the courageous Aunt Helena and the over-stuffed Pearl would make a comedy in itself. Tumble has fallen desperately in love with Pearl and chooses this time of all others to propose to her. And does Buck Thomas suffer humiliation? Not only is his face red but he decorates it with a black eye. When Joan's horse supposedly runs away with her, Buck's horse throws him, while it is left for the tender lily, Sir Basil, to rescue Joan, which he does pronto, covering himself with glory. Uut of the night comes a stranger who tallies perfectly with the newspaper description of Black Pete, the bandit. Black Pete becomes infatuated with Pepita and offers to take her back to Mexico. Sir Basil has fallen for Joan, not knowing that she is the girl he is running away from. Then a thunderbolt from the Western Sky. Another Black Pete holds up the ranch! Who is Black Pete? At any rate the philosophical Aunt Helena decides to reform him. It is left for Papita, who knows her onions and bandits, to rescue the genuine Black Pete and flee with him to Mexico. Black Pete the second is none other than Jim Wilkes, who has come to teach .loan a lesson for running away. But .loan has learned her lesson from Sir Basil. He's more than a British fop-he's a real he-man, romantic adventurer. Need we tell you that Tumble wins his Pearl through a sorely tried courtship? Or that Buck converts Sandra to the wild and wolly West?

He finds Don Pedro Carranza, with ranchero followers already arrived at Mike's and learns fur- ther, that a covered wagon emigrant train from the far east is also expected. Soon after his arrival, Smiling Charlie, a friend of the family and a pony express rider, is chased in by bandits with his consignment of gold dust. Charlie's danger serves to crystallize Barbarita's feelings to those of deep love, which he reciprocates, and a mutual avowal takes place. Later, however, bandits arrive, enter the hotel, bind Charlie, and apparently make off with the gold consignment, taking Carmela, of Don Carlos' party, with them as a hostage. Later on the emigrants come. Don Pedro is captured as Murietta, the bandit, and the rest continue the betrothal dance of Barbarita and Charles.

Next important activity was a Leap Year Party held at the High School March 15, 194-0. The cabinet held meetings every month at the homes of the girls on the cabinet. Because of so many lower-classmen who are Girl Reserves this year, they expect a large group next year.
