S. s Wlio are the first people you sec as you enter the school building-providing there are no mir- rors around? VVho is it that gives you your tardy slip on that morning when you accidentally over- slept? That's right. None other than Miss Rose Cavanaugh and Miss Wanda James, secretaries for Mr. Dixson and Mr. Fetherston, respectively. Those students who are hrave enough to peek through the two doors opening into the outer ollice would find Mr. Roy Fetherston, superin- tendent of schools, and Mr. Joseph Dixson, prin- cipal, both hard at work planning new things for us students. We might find Mr. Fetllerston work- ing on his annual commencement pageant while Mr. Dixson would he occupied helping the social committee of one of the organizations plan its next party. Take a second look next time you're in the office, 'cause after all we should be acquainted with our school administrators. I Miss Mae Anderson, Mr. llownrd C.

The executive council cun- Sists of the the elected officers of the student P. body, the speaker of the House and the prin- cipal. M1-. Dixson. All School functions and activities are under the supervision of the executive com- mittee. u l II'lI ' II'I' IUSIE 'Ulf IlQIElDIlQlESIENl AUTIIWIES The House of Representatives is respon- sible to the student directly. lfach home room elects a student to represent it in various stu- dent discussions and problems. The purpose of the organization is to secure the ideas of the students themselves on various subjects that arise in our school. Ray Hiett quite capably handled the office of Speaker of the 'I-louse this last year. The S. B. A. Secretary, according to the school constitution, also is secretary of the House of Representatives. The l-louse of Representatives is the fund- amental part of our student government because of direct contact with student opinions and is an office that should be respected by those elected to that office.

TVTARTITA TVTILLER ,IAMIG MCQUY THEN ALMMIUER Senior C ass History wonderful year of IQ46. Our class worked hard to get an annual and really came across XVhat! You haven't heard of all the wonderful things the Class of ,46 has done? XVell, you certainly are behind the times. Oh, you want me to tell you about it? OK. Here goes. Let's begin with the party they had when they were sophomores. It was really a super affair. There was dancing and all sorts of en- tertainment and, of course, food. Their Junior year they were in charge of the junior-Senior Prom which went over with a big bang because everyone cooperated so wil- lingly. Helping to make this year a big success was the Junior Class Play, The Night of January 16,,' which was really a spine-chiller. Now that brings us up to the present and with the stuff. You see, it was unusually hard because this is the first annual we've had for four years. Of course we have lots of fellows in athleticsg such as lVlarion Knox, Dan Stice, Fred Ramback, Bill Smallwood, Don Vance, Ralph XVhiteman, Dick Snodgrass, Iere Wfil- lord, Paul Gossett, Ray Hiett, Ben Alniaguer, and several others. Also we boast the first I-Iomecoming pa- rade 'for four years and it was really a doozey. Much credit goes to our advisors, Miss Thomp- son and Mr. Dixson, who have guided us so patiently these four years. Now what do you think of the Class of 1946? 9 if BETTY SHUGHART MARTHA BOLLMAN RUBY GIDDINGS KENNETH ANDERSON FRANCES DRAYSON NORMA NEEDHAM JERE WILFORD HAZEL WALTHER MARION KNOX JANE NASH ' D, G' MARY CONNELL ' in Y -Yi' ., 6 BE'I 1 Y RAY , 1 .O K .

Ol coursewe were sorta quu?l our first two years because we were getting acquainted but now.. Because he was such a good leader, John Ohlcr was elected president both our Freshman and Sophomore years. And then to that Junior year when Gale Sharer was elected president, Bob Riggle, vice president, Carol McCullough, secretary, and Eleanor Crow, treasurer. The sign DANGER HIGH 'EXPLOSIVESH was the term in use, especially after the Junior Play which was DYNAMITE, lt was one of the biggest hits ever produced at M. H. S. The play was Snafu or Sit- uation Normal-All Fouled Up. The money from the play was used for the simply wonderful Junior-Senior Prom. VVe are well represented in sports. In fact one of i OFFICERS BOARD OF DIRECTORS the boys who always comes through with at long run in football is Dick Hanson, a member ot the Junior class. He wasn't the only one who could make the opponent DE'l'OUR as there were also Don Brooks, Dick Fos- ter, fl.ynn Jenks, Cappy Sharer, Jlitjllll Mobnrg, john Ohler, Reuben Bigger, Bruce Bailey, Dave Fetherston, and Mike Gardner. Several boys on the basketball squad were also from the junior Class. The juniors are well represented in all organizations. VVe can give a lot of thanks for the GREEN LlGH'l ' class to our adv,iso1's, Miss Mae Anderson and Mr. Raeburn Rehn. So there you have. Chief, 2,1 sorta idea of our class and the reason for our going through a stop light. Hope we don't get a ticket.

Out of these, three made the varsity football team, Bob Chard, Marvin Bush, and Phil Kuhnlceyg while two sophomores hold cl 'wn berths 'on the varsity basketball squad. Dave Mc- Namara and Marvin Bush. Fifteen of the high school, band members are soph- omores while this class makes up 50 per cent of the Pep Club. VVe've been rated high scholastically, topping the list almost every time on the Honor Roll. Not that we want to brag or anything, but we also carried away first prize in the Homecoming parade. Leading the class this year have been Bob Robertson, president, Melba Larson, vice president, Mary Ranney, secretary. and Carol Levine, treasurer. Of course, we realize that if it weren't for our ad- visors, Miss Fannie Bradford and Mrs. Helen Hodson.. Need we say more? V CILASS 1D lf ll QILMI 1 Hugh Moffet Nancy Burdens C ass History Following the signs along the way so as not to get lost, one hundred forty-three Freshmen joined the slave gang' at old M. H. S. One outstanding characteristic of this wonderful, up-and-coming class is that the girls outnumber the boys by only one! At the start of the year Hugh Moffet was elected president, Nancy Barclens, vice president, and Betty Armstrong, secretary-treasurer. Under these lenders, the Frosh have tied the Seniors several times for high honors on the Honor Roll. Honorable mention was given the Freshman girls' float which was entered in the Homecoming parade. Out of the twenty-three Freshman boys out for football, two of them made the varsity, which is an honor in any man's language. Another ten of our class participated in basketball and brought more honor to our class. . Of course we hate to brag .......... but the super- duper class of '49 has just lots of members in Pep Club, Girl Reserves, G. A. A., Debate, Home EC., Hi-Yi, and how would the Clipper get along without all of those green freshies with their noses for news? just you watch, you upperclussmen, pretty soon all you'll see of us will be dustl IWIAIQUUN N, GOLD I RX Q0 H 0 N D N E E BAND A ., T E: I-I QRCHEJSTRA A CL 1 PPER P Z0'-' 'U GIRL, RESERVES Y EFQ Q fi Eimhm E A EL U E1 E ?

To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life, those ideals of personal living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians, is the purpose of the Girl Reserves. When it was first organized in 1920, all of the women teachers acted in the capacity of advisors but with the increase of girls and also teachers, two instructors were chosen to direct the club, those being Miss Hunter and Miss Findley. Now to bring it up to date, Miss Mar- garet Gillespie and Miss Avis Youngberg have kept us from going astray this year. Following in the footsteps of her family, Kathryn Goddard was elected president, Annabel Nelson, vice president, Marilyn Hixson, program chairman, linogene Gardner, secretary, and Mary Lou Crosier, treasurer. Because of too heavy duties, Mary Lou was forced to resign and was replaced by Elizabeth Lovdahl. Principally a service organization, the Girl Reserves sponsored and co-sponsored with the Hi-Y: the Big and LittleASistcr picnic, Girl Reserve-Hi-Y dance, Girl Re- serve-Hi-Y play, Galesburg Youth Conference, Mothers, Tea, and the Cliristmas and Easter devotional periods. DIEID 'CILIUI Rah, yah, Pep Clubl Nice going! VVhat? You mean you dou't know what thc Monmouth High School Pep Club is? Oh, well, I 'forgot you're new. You see, the girls of the Pep Club, led by Linda Simmons, presi- dent, back football, basketball, and track squads. Pep assemblies, homecoming dance, parade, rally, Sadie Haw- kins, and Victory dances keep the girls busy. It was through the courtesy of the Pep Club that we got the busses to go lo the out-of-town football and basketball games too, and that was really swell. Also they edit and sell the programs at the games and Donna jean Kcnan, Genevieve Hillen, Bud Cratty, and Tip Cannell deserve a real hand for the work they spent on PEP CLUB OFFICERS AND ADVISORS Seated, left. to right-wJanet Hogne, Pat Romine, Martha Miller, Linda Simmons.

Ollicers elected for the year are Linda Simmons, president, Janet Hogue, vice president, Pat Romine, secretary, and Martha Miller, treasurer. In the middle of the school year, Marty had to quit because of too many credits and so runner-up Anna Mae Nelson now handles the money end.

Always a perennial treat i3 the crowning of the Ag. queen, this year the Home Ee. Club going in and electing Ll king. These honors went to Margaret Johnson, varsity cheerleader, and Paul Gossett, football player. Another big social event is the annual F. F. A. banquet when the boys invite their parents. The above events were all extra-curricular to the club and its initial purpose is the solution of agricultural difhculties and practices. Some of the experiences along that line were the Sectional Vocational Ag. Fair, Aledo Fair, and tl1e Fat Barrow Show with many of the mem- bers winning prizes.

Oh, look out! Here comes a chair now. This past year the Clipper staff has been breaking their neelcs Cancl everyone else's tooll to break the record and get out twenty-four editions. Previously, only twenty editions have come off the press but this year, with the aid of the Journalism class. the staff succeeded in editing twenty-four editions, almost one a week. Another change took place in that the Clippers were distributed by the journalism class on VVednesday third period, with the exception of the April Fool edition which was dis- tributed on April Fool's Day! An enlarged staff helped to publish bigger and better editions, to have more cartoons and jokes, and to publish an eight page Christmas issue, several six page editions, and the super-duper April Fool edition. Approximately seventy-five per cent of the student body subscribed to the Clipper, popies were sent to thirty-five other schools, to seventy-five advertisers, and to many servicemen who were stationed in the U. S. A. As you probably know, the Clipper headquarters is room 8 and the staff is as follows: Editor, Betty Rayg Associate Editor, Mary Louise ,lohnsong Feature Editor, Janet Hogueg Assistant Feature Editor, Patti Arthur: Sports Editor, Bob Riggleg News Editor, Mary Lee Patterson, and Business Manager, Mary Frances Wzirfield.

How about the story on the Junior Class Play? How big shall we make this picture? Yes, tl1at's a typical annual room scene and always lo the accompaniment of hedlanl. For the first time in four years, the senior rlass has taken on lla: irunendons task of publishing an annual. Vifith no model to follow. the stall' has started from scratch and worked like beavers to put it across.

Ben Almaguer, sports editor, and l-larry Radmacher, business manager. Mr. Ronald Swanson, journalism teacher, has served in the capacity of advisor and general supervisor. Altliougli it was a lot of work, all of the writers on the committees really enjoyed the experience and C4.Ul'll'l'iiIOfl to pet out a really huindinger of an annual.

One of the most active and versatile signs-of-our- times comes to the Monmouth High School's auditorium in a bi-monthly pageant titled: DRAMATIIC CLUB CAPERS, with the curtain rising on September 13, and the final annual performance appearing May 23, 1946. The production staff consists of the Big Three: President Annabel Nelson, Vice President-Program Man- ager Charles Nichol, and Secretary-Treasurer Iacquie Martin. Under the most capable direction of Miss Ruth Lillibridge this Trusteeship Council plans the program schedule for the annual dramatic attractions. The Gru- eral Assembly consists of forty-five members, being one of the two organizations with membership open to both boys and girls. An Ecmzormic Council collects twenty- five cent dues each semester and enrolls all new mem- bers. The Security Council consists of two committees: the Publicity for the bi-monthly show, and the Rehabili- I II'I IE ID IIQAMKAIF II IC 'C IL IU I tation of the dressing' room. Do-nicslic Policy consists of plays directed, portrayed and sometimes written by members: as well as behind stage crews learning and applying lighting, make-up and stage techniques. A vital Foreign Policy is encouraged by the four guest speakers annually. The past season found entertainment and instruction on Theatre Arts from Snpt. Roy Fetherston, Mrs. Mary Blair von Al- brecht, Mr. C. D, Richardson and Monmouth College Speech students. Besides plays, variety programs and guest speakers, annual high lights turn to the homecom- ing stunt, Valentine party and spring picnic. And' so each committee and council working with the other makes a harmonious and thoroughly enjoyed club, with each member given an opportunity to work behind scenes and to perform before the public's eye at least once during the season.

Oh, now 'l see--Quill and Scroll and National Honor Society. Well, after all, those societies really deserve big signs 'cause anyone who makes them is just ...... well, Super ! One of the first to organize, the Glen Parker Chap- ter of the Quill and Scroll initiated three new members the first semester and several more at the close of school. Because membership is limited, you must be an upper elassman, you must he in the upper one-third of your class scholastically, you must have had published in either the animal or the paper over one hundred, inches of acceptable material, and you must -be recommended by your high school advisor and approved by the National Secretary. Gosh, the light from that sign really hurts your eyes. Under the leadership of janet I-Iogue, president, Bob Lindegard, vice president, and Betty Ray, secretary- treasurer, the society formally initiated new members in an assembly before the student body. Serving as i'Big Chief over the little Braves is Ronald Swanson, journalism teacher. National onor Society Wow! This sign will really blind you. Annually approximately fifteen members of - the graduating class are initiated into the National Honor Society, one of the greatest privi- leges offered to a member of the senior class. First of all, you must be in the upper third of your class, must possess qualities of leadership, have a good character, and be high in the field of service. Selection is made by the faculty and it is reallysomething to wear the pin of the Sachem Chapter of the - National Honor Society.

To increase our ability to think clearly, to increase our a-bility to speak well on our feet, and to 1l1Cl'CZlSC our knowledge of present day affairs, is the purpose and code of the Debate Club. Ten students made up this year's debate squad, which was coached by Miss Kathryn Kilgore. Those taking part were Charles Cunningham, Mary Ann Chewning, Carol Pulleu, and -Io Anne Lusk, affirmative: while Juanita Furnace, John Welister, John Pine, Glenn Sward, Dorothy McAllister, and Patricia McClure held down the fort for the negative. Choosing an up-to-date topic this year they debated on the subject: Resolved: that every able-bodied male citizen of the United States should receive one full time year of military training before attaining age twenty-tour. The Debaters went to Burlington the 15th of Deeembcrg to Augustana the 9th of Fehruztryg and to several other contests during the year. FDDENS CS M. H. S. goes to State! VVow, what fuu- hut you dou't know who went? VVell, it'5 this way. Outside of the debate group, there are contests for serious reading, humorous read- ing, verse reading, and so ou. This year Ethel June Ericson and jean Quammen top all other contestants in both the district and sectional eontests to advance to state, where Ethel won fourth in serious declznnation, and jean got sixth in verse reading.

Marion Knox, chosen on the Northwest onference team and on the third team of me Chicago Daily News all-state selections, as probably the most outstanding man on ie Zipper squad. Given honorable mention n the Northwest Conference selections was on Brooks, who played forward position. Captaining and proving to be a very pable leader of the quintet was Fred Ram- ack. ln his first year out for varsity all, Ray Hiett proved to be a great help guard position. Outstanding also was hn Ohler, center, and Marvin Bush, for- ard. lu the Northwest Conference race the ippers ended in sixth place and during' the 'ar had defeated fialesburg and Kewanee ho were among the Sweet Sixteen in the ate.

Newton Kyle, Charles Larson, John Sheahan Have you ever stopped to think who has to go through the agony of loss and the thrill of the victories? Sure, the players, but what about the coach? During the past year Coaches Sheahan, Kyle, and Larson have instructed the boys in the different sports and well ...... the resntls are obvious. Let's give them a big cheer for turning out some of the swellest athletes M. lrl. S, ever had! ID IESIEIIQWIE S D DlIQlfx UDTIBALI. Though our Little Zippezs clidn't win all of their games this season, Coach Newton Kyle has given these future Zipper regulars the fundamentals of the gridiron game. Winning one and losing four on their schedule is not a had record considering that these buys have had no experience in previous years. As he will have most all of them to work with again next year, Coach Kyle can look forward to a good season with experienced players.

Under the direction of Coach Charles Larson, the team had a successful season, which makes hopes for future years somewhat brighter. Bob Robertson. captain and starting center for the squad, proved to be a valuable man for his re-bounding and leadership ability. Other members of great value to the team were, Wayne Vest, forward, VVillard Rollins. guardg Don McBride, guard, Bob Kniss, guarclg and Gary Gawtlirop, forward.

Coach 'lf IIQ AMC K Opening the 1946 track season the M. H. S. track team tied with Aledo in a triangular meet with Aledo and Roseville. Some of the other meets are: a dual meet w1th Moline the Gcneseo Relays, the Davenport Relays, a dual meet with Galeshurg, the Northwest Conference meet, and the district and state meet. Newton P. Kyle, .Two very capable sprinters, Bill Smallwood and Dick Hanson, will be dome the sprmt work, while Don Vance and Bob Romine will do the middle distance running Ben Almaguer will attempt to break records in the mile and half mile run. Although very str?-ng en running events, M. 1-1. will have a diflicult task of dclenl ing its district championship which it has Won for two years. This diihculty is due chiefly to the lack of capable field event men. Facing one of the hardest schedules it has had in several years. the M. H Q tri k squad. under the direction of Coach Kyle, is training every night and chances are favor able for another championship team. After having dropped baseball for several years. Monmouth High School has again re- sumed the sport. Although not considered a major sport this year it is believed that it will l'e within the next several years. The Monmouth baseball squad has 13 games scheduled for the season in which they will meet such schools as Galesburg, Rock Tsland. Moline, East Moline, and Kewanee. The Northwest Conference has not yet adopted baseball in its athletic program but hopes are that it will next spring. Approximately 50 hoys have reported for the first practice and from this group Coach Swanson hopes to find material with which he can huild a team, and look forward to a successful season. Some of the outstanding players are John Ohler, Marion Knox, Fred Ramback, Gale Shafer, and Ray Hiett.

Under the auspices of Coaches Sheahan and Larson, this club was organized just this year. Mainly for the promotion of sports, especially in the grade schools, the club is mainly a service organization. Members have coached and referreed for the grade school kinds during the lfasketball sea: on and the youngsters have already learned the funda- mentals of the sport. ' Outside of working, the guys have a lot of lun, such as the weiuer roast down at the river. To qualify, you must have earned a major letter in some sport, hence the name, Cl Y! ' M Lluh. Elected to lt-ad the club for this year were Ralph VVhiteman, president, Marion Knox, vice presideutg Dick Foster, secretary and John Ghler. treasurer. Monmouth High School this year exhib- ited one of the finest squads of cheer leaders .-9 . 3. - Qt. it has ever had. Making up the squad of Cheer leaders were a group of girls who had had experience as reserve cheer leaders and two years of var- sity cheer leading. These girls are Catherine Romano, Martha Lee Bailey, Linda Simmins. Frances Drayson, Margaret Johnson, and Carol McCullough. During the current school year these girls worked very hard to develop poise, yells, and songs which were used effectively during the season. As cheer leaders they were required to practice and work, as any athletic team is required, and as far as eligibility rules go their's are the same as those of athletic team members. so ' A X-' X f .if - .

Elected to run the club this past year were Mary Connell, presidentg Catherine Romano, vice president, Katherine Molitor, seeretaryg Bonna Parrish, treasurer: and Harriett Rhea, sports manager. During the past year the club has participated in archery and softball, bowling. basket- ball, volleyball, and tennis.

With a lot of interest and zest, the fellows of M. H. S. signed up and took advantage of the opportunity. A total of 70 boys enlisted and teams were lined up by Coach Kyle and eight other boys who later served as the team captains. ln order to have names for the teams, the titles of airplanes were used. Receiving the championship award was the Fortresses by ending the tonrnznnent with the record of 12 wins and 2 losses. Composing the Fortress squad were: E. Skinner, VV. Skinner, D. Thomas, R.

Those who entered teams were the Juniors, Pep Club, Girl Reserves, Freshmen, Sophomores, Home EC. Club, Seniors, and G. A. A. Most of the games were played on Mondays and Fridays sixth period and quite a few students watched the games. Later in the year, a round-robin tournament was held in volleyball with approximately the same teams. Nice going, G. A.

These few athletes are honored by having their pictures placed in the trophy case or otherwise known as the 1-Iall of Fame. ln order to qualify for the Hal? c-F Fame the candidate must have won at least four varsity letters in one major sport or at least five in two major sports. Very few ever achieve this goal so those that do should be higlilyeommended for their accomplishment. This year we have only three who have met the requirements for the Hall of Fame. They are Don Vance who won two letters in football and three in trackg Bill Smallwood who won three letters in track and two in footballg and Marion Knox who won three letters in football and three in basketball. 'Xxx Besides the honor of having their pictures in the trophy case, each member is given a gold charm representing his favorite sport. SIDDIIQTI SNAIDS J . ,Qi TgQji 'f ,,..

Playing before a capacity crowd both nights, the cast enacted the difficulties which arose when fourteen year old Ronald Stevens QPaul Howej enlisted in the army and then was finally discharged when his real age was known. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens CBob Riggle and Grace Mclsaughlinb were at a loss as to how to treat their grown up son but Kate CI3etty Riedelj certainly wasn't! Very eager for Ronald to seek the pursuit of knowledge, Mr. Taylor, principal Uack Crandallj bothered them all by insisting that he be enrolled in high school. Adding to the confusion was Pic. Danny Baker fLewis Murphyj, a pal of Ronald's while in the army, who immediately fell in love with Laura Jessup CGloria Seyboldj. Just at the inopportnne time Senator Phil Ford fDarrel Gossettj visited to engage supporters in his plea for good sewage disposal. Making it all the more riotons, were josephina, the maid CMary Louise Almaguery, Aunt Emily QMaribelle Mcliridej, old-maid aunt of Kate's, Legionnaire fjohn Laffertyj who was interested in Ronald, Mrs. Garrett CGlenna Ebersolej matron at the adjoining girls' school who accused poor Ben Stevens of housebreaking, Detective fB0b VVoodJ who was always snooping around, Martha fBarbara NVolford5 Australian girl who knew Ronald. and Colonel West Uim Davisj. who eliniaxed the whole performance by presenting Ronald with the Silver Star.

During the course of the play, Junko QI.eland Crattyj and Toni Teleki CCharles Nichols, become in- volved in the schemes which complicate matters for poor Horkoy. Very interested in what becomes of their older sisters are Terka, Lisa, and Klarra fMartha Bailey, Mar- garet Johnson, and Betty Riedelj.

Carried out in the decorations, was the theme Stormy VVeather which were under the direction of Glenna Ebersole. You've probably heard of the Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow?

When their rich uncle became deceased, he left four hundred sev- enty thousand dollars which really complicates matters.

The local Y. M. C. A. donated the two 'basement rooms and funds were solicited from business houses for decoration. During the summer students decorated the allotted rooms, installed booths and a juke box was obtained. ln the fall of '44 the opening took place. ln the two years of existence of the club it has taken an important place in the extra- curricular activities and is the meeting place after school. It is open on Vlfednesday, Fri- day, and Saturday nights for the convenience of students. Officers of the club have definite responsibilities and on their shoulders rest a good share of 'the labor connected with the club. The first president of the club was Bob Grimsley, who was- one of the organizers, succeeded by Martha Bailey, who relinquished the job just this spring to Ann Burdens. The Sombrero has fulfilled its purpose many fold and is ever increasing in size and importance. New furnishings are constantly added to keep the appearance attractive and a coke 'bar has been opened with sandwiches, candy ,bars and soft drinks-all for the mem- bers of the Sombrero Club! - 0 gi l WIAIQUUN NJ COLD I QC - Ml IIS12 IE IL ILAN IBD 'US B SIEWCTTIIIDN ENIOR CLASS WILL AND PROPHECY ALENDAR SENI R CLASS SONG ND P EM DVERTISEMENTS - SNAPSI-IOTS LJLMZMJLM,LQLAILLMZMZAIMJLLLL SE IDD CLASS WILL VVE, THE SENIOR CLASS of Monmouth High School, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-six, being of sound mind talmostj and certain of graduation falthough uncertain of the timel, are now considering the prospect of taking our place in the worldly affairs of our country: and being desirous of leaving our estate in the best of condition. we have prepared this, our Last Will and Testament and swear that it is such.

M40 'U IDMVAX ID ID A I 08 East Broadway Monmouth, Illinois Telephone 904 SEN DID C ASS DIQDIDHEC My mind was deeply concerned on the music the radio was playing, as I breezed down the road in my jalopy early one summer day in 1960. However, my thoughts were niterrupted when I noticed a poorly dressed man sauntering down the highway. Being rather lonely and having a long trip ahead of me, I slowed down and offered the man a lift. Eagerly he accepted, and as I shifted gears and again started on my way, I introduced myself, I'm Marion Knox, talent scout for WOLF Studios. The tramp looked at me with open mouth and amazed eyes. Recovering from his speechlessness he exclaimed, Marion Knox-I thought you looked familiar-don't you remember-Kenny Anderson-Monmouth, Class of ! Il 46? Vtlhen I heard this I must have forgotten what I was doing because all of a sudden I heard a siren, then a cop pulled up beside me and growled, Pull over, Bud- dy, Then he pulled out his badge and continued to growl, Copper George Cavanauglfs my name, now what's your excuse this time? You realize, of course you were going 120 miles an hour and 119W is the speed limit. Haven't you ever realized the dangerous hazards speeding brings? n Both Anderson and I looked at him with a puz- zled expression and said together, 'Red' Cavanaugh, he was there too! The copper growled, VVhat are you talking about. trying to change the subject, huh? I remarked, Don't you remember us? VVe were all members of that good old class of '46 at that bump in the road, Monmouth? Red exclaimed, Oh, sure. now I remember! I'm certainly ashamed of myself. Forget that speeding deal. Say. I hear the bump has become a mountain. Sure thing. added Anderson, a lot of the former students and mainly our class really made Monmouth what it is today. The other day when I was traveling through Illi- nois, Red remembered, and was giving speeches on safety, who should greet me as principal of Mon- mouth High School but B. I. Goranson. His secre- tary, Miss Rose Bogie, introduced me to some of the faculty. I was surprised to find that some of the farultv besides the principal were also members of our class. Ru'-y Giddings is now Home Ec teacher, Ianet tflogue is Iournalism teacher and down in the speech room who should I find but Martha Speck. After the assembly a nice looking young woman came up to me and said, Don't you remember me, 'Tidsy' XValther? Of course, I answered, small world isn't it? VVhile I was talking to Miss VValtI1er she told me that Paul Gossett was one of the ten coaches for the high school and that Ben Almaguer was track coach at Notre Dame. Not like the old days, huh? n - Kenny added his bit with, One day about three or four years ago while I was meandering through the cld homestead I. knocked on a door to ask for a few bites to eat. Certainly was surprised when I found the woman of the house to he the former Martha Miller. Not a had cook either. I guess she didn't waste her time when she took that cooking course. I blnrted ont, Got a letter from home the other day with a newspaper in it. Xllhilc hastily glancing over it I saw a big ad in there about Strand's Bakery. Roger seems to have the business well managed. Also noticed another ad 'On the Square'-45 yearsMIiay Romano, proprietor. I also saw where Claire Lar- son's angus cattle sold at the top in Cliicagof' ln the mast head of the paper I see Bob VVade's name as circulation manager. Working in the ohice of the paper was no other than Margie Johnson. The family writes that when they other night they noticed Eleanor Christnian was man- aging Hawcock's After dinner the folks said they went to the movie and there was Pat Neal giving instructions to several usherettes, Pat is now manager for the I5 theatres in Monmouth. How things have changed! were in l'Iawcock's the XVell, boys, sorry to break this up but I must be on my way. Say, have any ol' you heard about Janice Johnson lately? asked Cavanaugh. The last time I heard from her she was a court reporter in VVashington, D. C, Kenny said. Yeah, I picked up the Tribune the other day, which, by the way, is edited by Betty Ray and her able assistant Miss Avis Youngberg, and I noticed Janice johnson, court reporter, was quoting some of the statements of the Honorable Don Vance. He must have gotten his ex- perience from his role in the Junior Class Play. As I said before, I gotta he on my way, Cavanangh yelled, above the roar of his motorcycle. It's been grand. As they too moved on, I exclaimed, That was sure a coincidence, meeting him here. But as they say 'truth is stranger than fiction'. Guess we better stop and fill 'er up at the next gas station. Kenny, scratching his head, mused, Still ean't get over ns meeting here in the middle of nowhere.

I replied, Say, I was reading 'Time Marches Back' the other day and there was a long write-up on Ray Hiett's huge monopoly in South America, also diamond mines female owner, Margie Albert. And I ran into Jim McCoy at La Guardia Field on my return from London where I signed Ethel Ericson for Metropolitan Opera. Jim told me he is flying tor the United Air Lines now and who do you think are stewardesses? Toni Guest and Colleen Sprout-still like two peas in a pod. Mind if I turn on the radio, Knox? Kenny in- quired. Go ahead, I replied. The announcer's voice rang out. This is Kemp Lynes, ladies and gentlemen, your announcer from the Dew Drop Inn. It is my privilege this evening to give you your lovely little favorite Jeannie Quammen introducing her melodious new song. GoIly, this is odd,', broke in Kenny with wide-eyed excitement. VVC listened intently until the song was finished and then the announcer began again with, l'Do you have a limited vocabulary? Do you wish to give your tongue new fire? All you have to do is send a small, measly fifty cents to this station and you will be sent absolutely free of postage a pocket-sized encyclo- pedia edited by the famous Harry Laffertyf' As if this weren't enough the car suddenly gave a final chug and stopped. Ont of gas! XVe got out and walked and walked. Several miles down the road we came to a large beautiful dude ranch and hotel com- bined, with 'WVelcome to M. H. S. Martin's Horse Stables stretched across the gateway, VVe walked up the cobblestone path to the spacious, modern hacienda. Then as we moved on we were greeted by the dignified proprietor, ,Iere VVilford. He proudly showed us around. The outstanding thing being the stables. We were introduced to Iacquie Martin, owner and breeder of the world famous horses. VVe also talked to Lemuel Berry, the competent veterinarian. Then to make it complete we watched Juanita Furnace race her prize stallion around the track. We also saw Mary Lou Crosier, who is the bookkeeper. Roaming among the flowers was Dr. M. E. Connell, a surgeon who was taking things easy for a few days. She practices in a clinic and under her supervision are Alice Kel- logg, Marilyn Hixson, Donna Johnson, Annabel Nelson and Alma Little, who are all in the nursing profession. In an hour or so we secured the gas and were again on our way. Anderson commented, I didn't realize that we were so near the M. H. S. Ranch. just think, we might have passed right by it without stop- ping. Which reminds me, have you heard about Fran- nie Drayson and Marcia Tubbs? They are models in New York and Jane Piper is their special photographer. I guess Norma Minks is designing the new fashions they model. Speaking of Marcia and Frannic, I beamed, re- member the other kids in their gang? Linda Sim- mons is a social worker in Chicago and -Io Anne Cowden is doing the same work in Detroit, Evelyn Parsons in Kansas City and Barbara VVestert'ield in the state of Kentucky. ln a little different field of the work Martha Lee Bailey is very successfully organizing Youth Cen- ters tIn'oughout the country with the help of Kathryn Goddard who is designing appropriate interiors. The sudden awareness of a massive bridge looming ahead brought another character into the limelight. This was one of the steel bridges made by Bill Small- wood. Mind if I read this 'Signs of the Times' maga- zine, Kenny asked. Not at all. There was silence except for the sliuffling of pages then- Oh, look, here it tells about Louise Gossett. She's made a success in the music field after studying violin in Italy. That reminds me, I replied, Peggy Johnson, Meida German and Rosemary Cooley are painting in Italy too! It seems Evelyn Allen is on a long touring trip. I ran into her the other day and she tells me she met Verna Pnllen in China a yearago. She's being kept pretty busy with medical work there. But back to Monmouth, though, reminded An- derson. I-Ielen Van Tine is an office worker at the Farm Bureau which is visited quite often by Mary Rose Cavanaugh, the local 4-I-I leader.

Goodbye Juniors-we leave you our names: Goodbye Sophomores-may you head for fameg Goodbye Freshmen-we hate to leave-we really believe- For high school We'll grieve-next autumn. Goodbye senior hall-where we laughed and sorrowcdg Goodbye classrooms and books and pens we've borrowedg Goodbye dances, plays, and our romaneesg Goodbye faculty-Goodbye. ERICSON-Gonmnn lklkhkrkvlf MEMUD IES BY FRANCES DRAYsoN ANU M.NRTHA List: BAILEY When we entered these halls in forty-two, We were a little green, it's true. Four years to us seemed very long, But now we realize that we were wrong. Those four long years have gone so fast- It's hard to believe that they are past. The social calendar was always fullg Never a minute was empty or dull. Homecomings, class plays and dances, Mingled in with short romances. Student body elections were always fun- Rememher when we used eggs, slightly overdone! XVhen it came to sports. our class was tops. On the gridiron or the hardwood, they just couldn't he stopped. At baseball and track we did just as well. In any sport our fellows excel, The students cheered loud and long, From the very first quarter to the closing gong. With all this fun we had studies too- Thongh it wasn't always evident we had a high T. Q. We hurried in the morning to beat the first bell, And uptown at 3:10 we rushed pell-mell. As for our faculty with their good points and bad, Vtfe think they're the best to be had. Yes, these four long years have gone so fast, But there is nothing we can do-they're past. Memories of M. H. S. in our hearts will dwell. As it comes our turn to say farewell. So you Monmouth High- GOODBYE. Warren County Memorial Park Cemetery WARREN COUNTY'S MosT MODERN BURIAL GROUND.
