And I know the School Board has a hand in helping to keep the outside of the building looking so trim. They try to solve a lot of problems that pertain to our school. The members of the Board are: President, George Bruingtong Secretary, VVilliam Hutchinsg Mrs. Mabel McCoy, Mrs. Myrtle Rhea, Louis Gibb, Dr. james Marshall, Victor Lf. llngdahl. l think a great big vote of thanks from the Student Body should be given for the work they are doing. 662,062 Wlwzaan mf! The lirst Friday I was pleasantly surprised in my third period class when a student scurried in the door and handed us all a newspaper. This turned out to be the Clipper, the school paper. lt is edited by two different groups . . . the Maroon and the Gold. l found this picture of the Maroon staff whose head is Loren Sallee. The thirty-four staff ineinhers work hard to put out their issues of the paper. They told nie that it was not only good experience to put out the Clipper, but also a lot of fun. 1151 .NSW S A - . 32312-if. , Zf iI ' wage j' 5, isis. . - 1 rw aw ww W W 2. t 1 aww-.'7, Eigms, itil was img ' iw-5 ,N ', wW..y .L' ...-- - S - p Here is the Gold staH. lt has thirty-live industrious members, work- ing under Earl Hunsalier. l was quite surprised to fmd two complete staffs in a school the size of Monmouth, so I asked Mr. Swanson, their sponsor, about it. He told me that Monmouth was one of the few schools of our size in the state that has two complete staffs to do the work. The Gold staff and the Maroon staff alternate in putting out the Clipper. One puts it out the first week, and the other the next. l was certainly pleased with the Clippers, since they told me the lastest news around school in sports, contests, classes, music, and honors received by individual students. -15- immi- Hold that pose! lJon't move! FIa5fz!! At lirst I didnt realize what was happening until someone informed me that it was the annual staff at work. Phyllis Alexander is the editor with Pat johnson as assistant and the girls in charge of the pictures are limma Tubbs. photo editor, and her assistant, jane Peterson. After watching all the hard work that goes into a year book, I was surely glad that Mr. Swanson had such a capable staff. Simm- BACK Row: Ed Craig, J. Dooley, M. F. Hodgson, Bill Doty, Mr. Swanson.

A. stood for Student Body Association. The officers of the Student Body are President, jerry Salawayg Vice-President, George Gilleng Secretary, Pat Johnson, and Treasurer, Bill Doty. These people also serve as officers of the Student Council. Zvwleaz! enema!- Then there was the Student Council meeting I attended. ,Iecpcrsf They really have a lot to do in planning dances, encouraging school spirit, and solving school problems. The nienihers are, one person elected from each second period class and all class and club presidents. The S. B. A. President, jerry Salaway, presides. and we really get a lot accomplished. 7,71 -- As l was tramping around the Knox County Fair last August, l saw several boys from the Monmouth Chapter of the F. F. A. lVhen they announced the winners over the loud speaker, l recognized many of the names. ,lim Mills won a prime rating with his Angus steer. Russell Stewart won fourth. lifth. and sixth places with his Hereford steers and Registered Angus cow. Kenneth Painter was the top money winner of the local chapter as he took three First places with his registered Herefords. llick Arm- strong, Rex H ennenfent, and john Morford also showed steers with Armstrong and Hennenfent each showing a choice Hereford and Morford getting a prime rating on his Shorthorn. Albert Day and Larry Oaks were the only members of the Monmouth Chapter to show hogs. .lunie won a first and two seconds with his registered Chester XYhites and l.arry placed fourth, sixth, and tenth with his purebred Hampshires. ln talking to the future farmers, l learned that the Monmouth Chapter won the trophy for having the neatest exhibit. Mr. Rehn did a great deal in helping to prepare forthe show. He is the agriculture teacher and advisor for the F. F. A. The total amount of money won by the members of the Monmouth Chapter was 5l3l2O. XVowl Several of the members showed their projects at the Roseville Fair and those who had beef calves showed them at the Prime Beef Festival. 'lim Mills showed at the International Livestock Show in Chicago. .-19... L gfamecamdaq Haml- . , . .... . Y . ., : . . ...-..-.,...f,.,,-:,.--..,.,7-. N..v..,..T.-.

Everybody's attention was directed to the hack of the auditorium as the home- coming queen was announced. XYas I ever shocked! Bly, isn't Pat Houtchens Cute in long curls? After that a pair ot puppets gave a skit, and the Gypsy Rose Lee kick-line showed their skill. To think of what those boys have been hiding all this time! The real queen for 1950, Pat Johnson, was announced and un- ofhcially crowned. -2 7.. pafzcwle- .l think this year was a big success as there were more floats this year than ever before. Prizes were given for beauty and originality. The F. F. A. took first prize for beauty with a float I thought was really clever. Their float featured a cow and the slogan, flust An L'dder Victory -- or -- lt's in the llagv. The senior class had second place for Yictory ln Bloom . Third prize was given to the junior class with its bees and the motto, XYe'll Be Ruzzing Tonightv. llome room lO3 was proud to receive hrst prize for originality. Their theme was l ishin' for Suclcers . Really different!! Second prize was given to Room l2 lor the theme, Canton's Pants XVill Be Dragginl Tonight . Room lS, a combination of girls' gym classes and chorus received third prize. -23- ' Waya- Dance- After the game, the Homecoming dance began. We were all excitedly waiting for the attendants to be revealed. About 11:00 P. M. the freshman attendant, Dona Christensen, and her escort, ,Iunie Day. stepped through the door, onto the platform, and to the throne. Following her came the sophomore attendant, joan VVatt, escorted by Bill Rhea, junior attendant, Connie Irey, escorted by Jerry Rosenbalmg and the senior attendant, jane Peterson, whose escort was Marshall VVard. The sextet sang Girl of My Dreamsu as the attendants- came and Sweetheart of Monmouth Highn when Queen Pat johnson entered. .lack Ameen represented the team in presenting Pat with a bouquet of yellow roses. Following the pretty Coronation ceremony, which was under the direction of Emma Tubbs, Duane M'an1ove's band played soft strains for dancing.

Coach Mings did at hue joh of teaching his boys the funclztinentzils of the game. l am sure this will show up more as the boys move up to the varsity. The Snappers were mostly freshmen, and with the experience they received this year, they should give Monmouth an outstanding Snapper team next year.

SO good luck, little Zips! ,321 wckfew- The half times of the football games were pepped up by exhibitions put on by the twirlers. I think the majorette, Marjorie johnson, deserves much credit and so do the rest of the twirlers who are Sheryl johnson, Bobby Thompson, Pauline Yarrington, Frances Miller, and Mary Seybzsld. The twirlers usually go to contests each year. and in years past I remember that they always come out with honors. gand- At the first basketball game, I was pleasantly surprised by the snappy band music played at the quarters and between games by a group of students. The girl sitting next to me explained that they were the pep band who played at all the basketball games under the direction of john Romine. The other players are Bill Rhea, jim Geers, janet Fryrear, Phyllis Alexander, Mary Frances Hogdson, Duane Manlove, Charles Courtney, .lack Gillette, and Don 1VIcCrery. The games are certainly helped along by the catchy tunes that enliven the periods when there is no action on the floor. WUUCMKM Aan MEJNQSJQ3 T -J'-dawg m Z V .

This class gave a splendid play entitled, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . Also I discovered that a great majority of our athletic teams were made up from this wonderful class. The girls- are not to be forgotten though, for they had three ofthe four varsity cheering positions and three of the live twirling positions. As I write this they are preparing for a junior-Senior Banquet which they hope will be one which will be remembered by all. I expect to see more of their athletes, twirlers, cheerleaders, and actors and hope they have a bigger and better next year. , -36- ' l?, IQ' g, 113, .- 1 A W Wea' '4 ' - 1 W A Dixon Nezubufklf Qnatafcli- Q .DE5NNi5 Rmf Himvmfezvf M'CfAgf,f?QlwJ S - 5 N M .,..,.

This group originated their sophomore year and has grown rapidly in popularity not only in high school, but also in the community as they have sung at all sorts of entertainments and have been accepted with wild acclaim. These boys have gone to state two years and brought back a second and a first and are planning to return again this year to sing the praises of Monmouth High. There is no need to tell you who these hoys are because I found them singing away in the halls as usual and everybody knows who they are but in case you're interested here they are: Duane Manlove, Jack Vlleegar, Eddie Craig, Jett Nicholas, Bill Doty and Alan Larson. Nice to listen to. boys. Also I learned there is a new musieal group this year. This is the Freshman-Sophomore Sextette. Since all the boys in the original sextette will he graduating, these boys will carry O11 in their footsteps.

The Mixed chorus under the direction of Mr. Keller presented a cantata, The Sliejllzerds' Cf7Vl.Sf1llf1.V, which was followed by a play, And Lo the Starr , presented by Mrs. Chapman's speech classes. This was the nrst time the school heard the chorus, and we were all proud of their accomlblishment. The characters in the play dis- played much talent, and we all hope to see them perform again. Mr. Dixson wished us all a Merry Christmas and a ,llappy New Year, and dismissed school until .lanuary 3, l95l.

Slecfdaez- ln one of the best conducted campaigns in recent years the school elected its student body ollicers. .Ns l was walking down one of the halls l noticed the walls were plastered with com- paign signs and posters, as the two parties Equality and Active, were promoting their candidates. Our election had a bang-up start with an assembly at the beginning of the week, when the candidates were nominated, including two dark horses. Richard Bowman gave the Active Party Platform, while Howard CHowdyj Chapman gave the Equality Platform. The dark horses were Anne Quinby for secretary and Raymond Moore for vice-president. Of course. we had to have a primary the next day. Bob Mehng for vice-president and Anne Qumby tor secretary were eliminated. Finally the big election and next yearls Officers were chosen between Keith Howver and Leonard Gibb for presidentg Raymond Moore and Bob Fusch for vice-presidentg Betty Duncan and .loan XVatt for secretary, and lylarlm Lowe and Robbie Thompson for treasurer. The winners that will lead us next year were Keith Howver, president: Bob Fusch, for veepg Betty Duncan, secretary: and Marlin Lowe, treasurer. My that was an exciting election, especially since we had to wait until we got our Clippers for the results. Another unusual thing was that all four elected were on the Active Party ticket.

Our wonderful dignity, poise, industry, and power to acquire knowledge with so little effort we give, devise, and bequeath to the Class of 1954, trusting that they will be of sufficient streigth to bear well this last which we have to offer. The faculty we leave rather empty handed, having taken everything they have had to offer us. 1Ve also wish to leave them our tardy make up work. unexcused absences, and old Clipper assignments. At last we leave all of you with out best wishes as we realize that it is later than we thought. SIGNED: CLASS or 1951 VVITNESSES: MAE E. ANDERSON R. A.

A trip into the city to attend the Mardi Gras Grand Ball! I want to tell you all about it. My father's chauffeur, Dick Blevins, who just retired from hot-rod racing, gave me an electrifying thrill as we hurtlecl through the streets. Suddenly we hit a wild running pig and sent it squealing down the street. A red faced, puffing agricultural engineer by the name of Dr. Albert Day came running up, and a terrific argument ensued. It took two policemen, Ken Johnson and jerry Rosenbalm, to calm them down. Ten minutes and two tickets later we were on our wav. Arriving at the ball. we secured our tickets from Miss Betty Gregory, national ticket com- mitteewoman, and hurried inside. As we were going in Democratic Boss , lVard was being bounced by Georegous', Gillen and Argentina, Youngquist, famous wrestlers. He had been giving soap box speeches about his party. How exciting! XVhat an exquisite ballroom! It had been superbly designed by the Parisian artists, Valene Fillman and Gertrude Edwards. The painting was done by the Olson Artists' Corporation. Strange- ly the murals all had girls with long, fluffy, blond hair. Nevertheless, it was beautiful. At one end of the floor was a mammoth TV screen installed by the Larson Engineering Company. At that time XVilliam Rhea was giving a demonstration on the difhcult art of pest extermination. And then he vanished. much to the horror of the movie actress, Connie Harvey, who played the part of a rabbit in a famous movie. Then a tantalizing odor filled the room. I looked toward the food section and noticed the moat outstanding food culturist, Rita Vancil, and her assistant, Sally Cook, presiding over south- ern fried chicken and cornpone fairly drizzling with molasses.

Dimples Conard was brightly flashing his smile on TV during his hog-callers' program sponsored by the maker of Old Dotyu wine, Bill Doty. At the other end of the floor Manlove's Musicians started jazzing it up. Durante Romine was hitting all eight keys left on his piano. The music was so exciting that Honorable Margaret Ralston, senator from South Carolina, started jitterbugging with the Louisiana Governor, Honest john Nicholas. They were pretty good, too! Janet Fryrear got to playing that clarinet of hers so fast that she swallowed the mouthpiece and had to be taken to the hospital burping room. The lights were dimmed, and Arlene Frey, torch singer, sang Smoke Gets in Your Eyes while wearing an asbestos dress designed by Itchie Fingersi' Ameen, a life long resi- dent of The Rock . I wonder if Dad knew what he was letting me come to tonight? Gosh! Casanova Bell mounted the platform and rang out the glad tidings to the winners of the day's events. The winner for the loudest costume went to Maxine Blair. The contest for the most original costume was hard for the judges, ,Iulio Vega, Lee Brown, and Betty Carrico, to decide until Barbara Burford came dressed as an equestrian. So, the prize want to Jo Ann Peck, who came wearing a bushel and a peck to commemorate an old song. I thought Shirley Numbers should have won because of her adding machine Costume. Dean Patterson and the former Carolyn Beaty won the float prize for their design -- cheaper by the dozen. The crowning of the king and queen was to come later. I saw so many famous people. Iiarl Hunsaker, author of After the Brawl Was Over, was sleeping in the corner. Kenny Painter had put him to sleep by a solid stream of chatter. President Salaway and his political cronies, among whom were Edgar Icenogle and Bob Burden, were gathered around and under the piano singing The Beautiful Ohio . Don Ray, famous VVestern playwright, was still dictating to his secretary, Mary Pease, while dancing. Don Van Tine, big time gambler, was matching pennies with the wealthy financier, Dick Bowman, who had restaged the Ziegfield Follies. -119- Spmam ,444 Barnes Brothers Larner's Shoe Shop Martin Motor Sales, Inc.

Anyway, Norma started giggling and fell into the arms of strong, but silent, .lack Gillette, who blushed very strongly. I glanced toward the TV screen and saw Professor of Mathematics, Loren Sallee, dis- cussing with his guests, Bob Allaman and John Lee, the new theory of evolution in bookkeep- ing being presented by Ed Craig. Out on the dance Hoor, Marjorie johnson, Barbara Killey, and Leona,Gossett put on an exhibition of modern dancing that couldn't be beat. I've heard their instructor was Jim Mills, whose contestants always- won first prize. Socialite Jane Peterson and her party arrived later in the midst of splendor and gained the admiration of many people. She joined her wealthy friend, Emma Tubbs, in a discussion of Emma's latest beauty treatment. VVinifred came in her new Crosier limousine which had the delicate midget hydramatic drive invented by Peg Burns. A Caroline, I saw an Indian Prince! His name was Shah Ross, who had in his harlem a following of many younger girls. Oh, he was so masculine. Qver by the drinking fountains, psychologist Mary Frances Hodgson and her assistant Delores Hoy were intervewing Eleanor Linman who had been working for several years in a hospital for the insane. World acknowledged pancake Hipper, Imogene Sipes, was giving a pancake demonstration. She missed only once. joanne Miller, fashion academy winner of 1969 looked so cute with that pancake on her upsweep hairdo-.

It had always been so. Of course, the honor of being last was reserved for jack XVeega1'. just before the main event, Laveine Birditt talked on the advantages of having friends in neighboring cities. The turning on of the spotlights and the changing of the tone of the music drew my attention to the beautiful gold and silver throne. Before the procession started, credit was given to Sparkles Peters, donor of the crowns, Phyllis Alexander, creator of the queen's gown, and Bonnie Clayton, creator of the king's robe. Leading the group with lighted candles were the queen's attendants, Betty Smith, Elizabeth Phipps., and Edith Partington. The sound of the trumpets and the roll of drums announced jay Barrett Dooley and Patricia Ann johnson. They were met on the throne by the governess of the ball, Mearl Curry, and the Bishop of America, Reverend john Hanley, who had the honor of crowning them. This climaxed the wonderful evening, and then as now, I grew so sleepy I had to leave. XV rite soon. lVith stars in my eyes, Alice Mae -122+
