DEDICATION In loving memory of Mrs. Champion: For her unceasing devotion; For her quiet understanding; For her enduring patience in dealing with her pupils; For her unsparing efforts to make this world a better place in which to live; We, the members of the Meteor staff of 1951, most re- spectfully and affectionately dedicate this annual. IN APPRECIATION By Superintendent 0. J. Pifer My acquaintance with Flossie Champion dates back to 1933 when she was a patron of the school. Since that time I have been associated with her in the toaching profession and have always had the utmost respect for her ability and integrity. She was an excellent scholar, an impartial judre, a kind disciplinarian and a friend to all those with whom she came in contact. The lofty ideals with which she enriched her courses have been a guiding light for all students who have attended her classes in the fulfillment of their high school endeavors. The philosophy of life to which she subscribed is il- lustrated by the following poem: BUILDING A TEMPLE Author Unknown A builder builded a temple. He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. Men said as they saw its beauty, It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill, 0 builder: Thy fame shall endure for aye. A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care. Planning each arch with patience. Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts None knew of her wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder's temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar. Food for consuming rust, But the temple the teacher builded ’.' ill last while the ages roll. For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child's immortal soul. It is my opinion that this community has been fortunate indeed to have had a teacher of Mrs. Champion's ability on its teaching staff. May her ideals continue to guide those who direct the activities of this community in future years. THEME To the students of Metamora, And all the faculty, too: We wont a little fellow To be introduced to you. We’re certain that you'll like him, Unless we miss our guess.

FIRST AND SECOND GRADES The first and second grade children were very fortunate in having a re-decorated room with new lights, this year. There were thirty-five children in the room. Several, studente came from other schools. In these grades most of the work is built around the language-arts which include all reading activities and spell- ing. They have stories about science, ait democracy, health and safety. They also have hand-work, music appreciation, rhythm band, vocal music, and an opportunity for self-ex- pression. Here the foundation is laid for their future studies and school activities. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES Congratulations I The 3rd and Lpth grades of 1951 offer congratulations to the Class of $1� We are small and it seems we are a long way from the great day. We will live well each day to pre- pare ourselves for the task ahead. We will eat the proper food to keep healthy. We will play safe and learn to live happily with our neighbors. We will be honest and loyal be- cause there are those that trust us. We v ill study and with- in the wall of our classroom we v ill gather the thread of knowledge. We will weave all these experiences into a pat- tern for our lives. Because of these skills we develop now, we will be able to build the homes and a place for ourselves in world affairs. From deep within us we will develop a faith that may someday shine with beauty and usefulness. Like the seed that find3 root in the soil with the wind, rain, and sun, we v ill grow and develop to follow in your footsteps until we find ourselves where you are today—ready to step over the threshold. May your steps find the path that leads to a useful and successful life. FIFITH AM) SIXTH GRADES We have22 pupils in the fifth grade and 15 in the sixth.

Here Comes Charlie By Jay Tobias The senior class of Metamora High School presented the play, Here Comes Charlie, April 20, in the school audito- rium with Mrs. H. A. Rush as director. The play begins with Larry Elliott, young broker, think- ing he is becoming guardian of a small boy named Charlie. He is jolted when he discovers that Charlie is a girl, whose real name is Charlotte, seventeen and pretty. Larry is en- gaged to the imperious Vivian Smythe-Kersey and is further henridden by a snobbish aunt. To have another female in the house delights him not. Neither does it delight Vivian nor the aunt. Charlie arrives from Arkansas accompanied by Uncle Aleck Twiggs, like herself a true product of the Ozarks. She starts by calling Larry, Papa, and by displaying warm affection to him. Larry likes the attitude, but it fails to smooth Charlie’s way with the women. The latter assume active enmity and plan to oust the hillbillies. Farcical situations develop from the social blunders of the new arrivals, espe- cially when Aunt Fanny Farnham, determined to make Uncle Aleck earn his board and keep, tries to turn him into a social butler. Larry's position is mode so uncomfortable that, to save him punishment, the pair depart. The story ends with the return of Charlie and Uncle Aleck some months later. Charlie is barely recognizable in her successor, the glorious Charlotte, who flutters all masculine hearts. Uncle Aleck, too, has undergone an amazing change.

This fast-moving comedy was staged in the audi- torium at 8:15 P. M. Sheila Scott is about to be married to Preston Rogers. She is not very excited about it because she can't forget her thoughts of Johnny Benton, a young man she had known for a brief two weeks during her summer vacation. It is the day before her wedding, and the Scotts are expecting a visit from Cousin Tommy from Texas, whom they have never seen. Johnny arrives at the house, is mistaken for Cousin Tommy and decides to carry on the masquerade. He convinces Sheila that she is really in love with him and they have to find a way to get her marriage postponed. Their efforts to do this provide several riotous scenes; then Cactus Kelly, a cowboy, makes his appearance. Johnny believes Cactus is the real Cousin Tommy and Cactus, for reasons of his own, encourages this belief; so Johnny passes Cactus off as his twin brother, Tommy. Just when he thinks everything is going smoothly, the real Cou- sin Tommy shows up in the person of Tomasina, a beautiful young girl. Johnny, in desperation, claims her as a relative, too, telling the others they are triplets. In the end Sheila and Johnny get married. The cast included? Peaceful Johnson.

Some of the decorations included tropical fish, mer- maid and diver, a big stuffed octopus, and a sunken ship. The decorations when completed gave the effect of being underwater. The tables encircled an aquarium of goldfish. The junior mothers prepared the very delicious Swiss steak meal, which was served by nine sophomore girls: Alice Suchy, Marilyn Dickerson, Marie Stieb, Diane Fike, Marilyn Welch, Patricia Sullins, LeAnn Scheuer, Shirley Herrick, and Theresa Garcia. The girls were dressed in 3-piQce sport outfits made of print with a fish motif in green. In addi- tion, they wore a green crepe paper costume resembling a mermaid. Everyone enjoyed the program the juniors and sophomores provided. Karol Pupos served as toastmaster. Special num- bers were given as follows: a vocal solo by James Miller, a story by Jane Hettinger, and a skit by the sophomores. After the program, everyone joined in the dancing and the fun of having pictures taken. SPORTS BANQUET The annual Sports Banquet took place March 6, in the high school cafeteria. The Girls' Athletic Association sponsored the banquet in honor of all basketball and baseball players, cheerleaders, and teachers. The dinner which consisted of creamed chicken, potatoes, peas, dressing and dessert, was prepared by Mrs. Phillips and the G. A. A. girls. The sophomore girls put on two skits which were very entertaining. Alice Suchy, the mistress of ceremonies, told many witty stories and jokes.
