Unfortunately, during the first quarter two members of the class quit. We were given a party by the Seniors and later in the year we took them on a skating party. Our class colors were red and white. Our flower was the red rose. Our faculty consisted of Mrs. Johnson, Miss Schmedding, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Daugherty, and Mrs. Griffin. Miss Schmedding and Mrs. Griffin were co-sponsors of our class. We had a part in the school carnival. Carita Bettels and Jim Gengler were ourcandidates for king and queen. We had a wonderful time. Having passed our year as Freshmen, we stumbled back again, being recognized as Sloppy Sophomores. When the roll was called, we were present to answerg but during the year we had the misfortune of losing Gerald Kroll who had enrolled in another school. We had part in several of the school activities. Those serving as our in- structors were Mr. Johnson, Miss Schmedding, and Mr. Callendar. We had a happy and successful year together. We again came to this beloved institution as Jolly Juniors. We considered our- selves lucky having gained a new member, Roger Jurgensmeyerg but unfortunately, we lost Bill Hoover and Boyd Snider during the first semester. Our class colors were dark green and lime green. We gave the play ei1tit1edg One wild Night, with everyone having a job to fulfill. We were thrilled in being privileged to go to St. Louis on our Junior-Senior Trip. Mr. Higgins was ouribus driver and we were sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Miss Schmedding, and Miss Lawson. In the fall of 1954, we again found our way back to M. H. S. We were proud to be called Dignified Seniors. Mrs. Johnson was our sponsor. We sponsored several of the school activities, including Freshman-Senior Party, Halloween Party, Christmas program, and our play. We have yet to choose our robes, and announcements. We are also working hard on our yearbook. We are looking forward to going to Chicago, Illinois on our Junior-Senior Trip. We will be sponsored by Mr. and Mrs, Johnsgnl Now as our parting message, i'lVlay,God Bless You Allf' Senior Class Prophecy June 15, 1965 Dear Diary: Tonight I attended a reunion of the Montrose Seniors of 1955. Their occupations fas- cinate me. Here is a brief sketch of each one: Janice Rotert is still quite an athlete, She has dyed her hair red and is now playing basketball with the Redheads. My biggest surprise was seeing Charles Nold with a beard that is over a foot long, He is going to be Santa Claus in Walt Disney's new movie, Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeerf' Jane Schnoebelen is also in Hollywood. She isn't an actress, but you can read her column in Photoplay magazine. That society column she wrote in our school paper was probably her inspiration for a career. Maureen Rotert is a traveling saleswoman for an insurance company. She is doing quite well, too. She drives a Cadillac and has traveled in all the states in the Union. Tom Stout has followed his father's footsteps and is the owner of a large grocery store, His wife and his mother-in-law help him in the store. And Tom gets along nicely with his moths: -in-law, too. . Russell Romdall is the proprietor of a 5,000-acre ranch in Texas. He specializes in raising cows with longer tails. This is very economical as it saves on fly spray. Roger Jurgensmeyer is the editor of a newspaper in Washington D.C. He wrote some good editorials for the Blue Jay, but he now writes top-notch political editorials in his paper,. The Washington Who's- Who, - As expected, John Bellinghausen is a famous college basketball star. He has been in college all of these ten years because he just can't give up playing basketball. Jerry Volmer is a very successful farmer. He has produced a strain of corn with no husks. It saves a lot of work. Raymond Hillerman's TV show is becoming quite well known. He was voted the most popular comedian in show business. Bob Hope and Red Skelton were runner-ups. Elsie Tilling married a rich Texas oil man. They had to cut their vacation in Havana short in order to be present at the reunion. Martha Jane Bellinghausen is the valued secretary to a building contractor in Alaska. lt is so cold there that she has to use antifreeze in her fountain pen and a radiator for a typing desk Two of my classmates chose the same profession. Leonard Goth and Jim Gengler are boxers and they will fight each other in the championship fight this fall. Howard Greufe is the basketball ,coach at M.H.S. now. He is very proud of his team and expects them to win the state tournament next year. He says after he makes enough money, he will build a new gym for the school. 19 Senior Class Prophecy Mary Katheryn Firsick is a model in New York city. She models girls' baseball suits. Helen Dietz is a WAC stationed somewhere in Texas. She is engaged to a very handsome lieutenant and they are planning a military wedding. Iwas a little surprised to learn that Bob Hueser is a commercial artist. Miss Lawson must have been a good art teacher in high school. David King has been in the Air Force until just recently. Now he is making plans to start his own commercial air line. ' Kenneth Vogel owns a large dairy farm in Missouri, and he also does some experimenting in his own laboratory. He has invented a non-fattening milk shake for overweight people, He thinks it might be a million-dollar project. Ronnie Hake has followed his musical talents and is now playing with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra. Carita Bettels is an up-coming young movie actress. With some support in Jane's column, I expect to see her co-starring with Tony Curtis before very long. John Brownsberger is an agent for the FBI. He is very enthusiastic about his newest assignment, but it is secret so he couldn't tell about it. Leave it to Donna Thomas to do something differenti She is an architect--designs lovely mansions for wealthy people. She will leave next week for South America where she will design a home for a coffee manufacturer. Well, Diary, this reunion has been a big help to me in my own career. I think I will write a book about each of my classrnates and then publish thern all together in one big volume entitled 'UTHOSE OUTSTANDING SENIORS OF '55' Goodnight Diary, Mary Jane Browns berger We, the class of 1955, in the town of Montrose, the county of Henry, and the state of Missouri, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that' may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism.

On October 29, they dropped their first game to Deepwater by a score of 69-50, n November 2 still proved that the Blue .Tays would haveffbetter days as they lost a close hard-fought contest to a fine team from Lowry City by a score of 48-42. Finally on November 9, thef'good days did arrive as the boys from Montrose downed a great team from Leeton in 3 thrilling see-saw battle which found Montrose on the heavy side of a 60-61 score and also the first taste of victory for the Blue Jays. On November 12, the Montrose five met the Calhoun Eagles in a conference game at Mon- trose. The Blue Jays had full control of the game until the final quarter when Calhoun caught fire and made it a close game, but a couple of quick baskets in the final minute gave the Blue .Tays a 56-49 victory. The Conference Tournament began November 18, taking place in the Clinton High School Gymnasium. It looked as though the Blue .Tay's chances weren't so promising with a 2-2 record. Nevertheless, they went into the tournament with high spirits. In the first round they found themselves matched with Lowry City who had beaten them previously in an early season con- ference tilt.i But when Montrose took the floor, they showed confidence that they could win over the Lowry five. The going was tough and the game was close, but when the final buzzer sounded, the Blue-Jays were on top of a 49-42 score. By winning over Lowry City, Montrose was slated to meet the hustling quintet from Chil- howee who had been undefeated thus far, But, thef Boys from Montrose weren't to be denied, They were confident, they were hopeful--they fought hard from the start of the game to the finish, and yet were behind all the way. After overcoming a 9-point deficit at the quarter and battling through a feverish final period, they had deadlocked the score at 40-42 overtime victory. 'The Blue Jays were headed for the finals. I On the GVCUUIE Of November 20, the Blue and White from M,H.S. met Deepwater in the contest for lst place. The Blue Jays were confident and they played hard, but it just wasn't enough as they went down to defeat at the hands of a superb and well-balanced Deepwater team by a score of 53-48. Deepwater was not to be trifled withg they were truly the champions. At any rate everyone from Montrose was happy to see the Blue Jays take 2nd place honors. After taking second place in the tournament, Montrose again got back to conference play when they traveled to Chilhowee on November 23, for a game which proved to be another thriller. The Blue Jays battled hard, fought for every goal. .The game was nip and tuckf' all the way, the score never varying over 3 points. Coincidentally when the last whistle blew, the game was again tied by the same score 40-40 as was the previous game with Chilhowee. However, Montrose wasn't so fortunate this time as they dropped the game by a 47-43 margin in the overtime. On December 3 the Blue Jays were again matched with the powerful team from Chilhowee, the game taking place on the home court.. And like previous games between the two clubs, the contest was full of suspense down to the final whistle. Both teams played hard, driving basket- ball. Montrose was in the lead most of the game, but the score never mounted. It was only in the last seconds of play that the Blue Jays pulled it out of the fire with a field goal winning by a close one-point margin 47-48. But it was a victory for Montrose and everyone was happy. On December 6, Montrose entered the Archie Tournament and met Urich in the first round game ., The Blue Jays got off to a fast start and kept the lead throughout the game. At the 4th quarter the score was doubled when the B team went in the gamer The second string boys played nice ball as they walked off the floor with a 60-41 Montrose victory. In the semifinal game the Blue Jays were matched with a fine aggregation from Peculiar. The game started off at a fast pace with Peculiar taking an early lead. The home boys seemed too anxious and never could find the range of the basket. The fast-breaking Peculiar five were in the drivers seat all the way and emerged with a 50-42 victory. ' The next night, the Blue Jays went into the finals playing Garden City for 3rd place. Montrose was not so overconfident as they had a tough team to beat and they knew it. The game was close and full of excitement as the half ended with Garden City leading by two points 26-24. The second half was equally as thrilling as the score stayed very close..Each team played 3 calm and deliberate basketball: each team wanted to win. But when time had run out, it was the Blue Jays who were on top of a 49-46 score. Montrose had taken 3rd place and by doing so the first ten boys all received attractive individual trophy awards. A - After the Christmas holidays the Blue Jays got back to playing basketball once more, They' met Lowry City in a conference assignment on their home court January ll. During the first quarter the game was close with Lowry holding a 2 point margin at the end of that period. But the home town boys caught fire and from that time on the Bulldogs of Lowry City were left in a trail of dust as Montrose continued their winning ways and pulled away with a record- breaking score of 76-50. On January 21 Montrose received another victory from Calhoun. The Blue Jays played a good game. At the end of the first quarter they led Calhoun by a score of 17 to 12. At the half the score was almost tied. Itwas 28 to Z7 in favor of Montrose. At the end of the third quarter the score was 43 to 34 in favor of Montrose. At the end of the game the Blue Jays were still ahead with a score of 52 to 48. After winningla victory over Calhoun, Montrose went to Leeton to play a return game. The Blue Jays didn't play as they did against Calhoun. But they kept working until the end of the game and they came up only a few points short. Leeton played good ball and came out on top with a score of 41 to 35. This was not a conference game so the Blue Jays didn't feel too bad about losing it. On January Z8 the Blue Jays surprised everyone. Every one was confident of their playing ability, but were not sure, just when they would get the '.'sparks to flying. The Deepwater basket ball team was playing their homecoming game and tried valiantly to win. The Blue Jays were in fine playing fettle and came off the floor with a 66 to 63 victory. This was a game to remember! I I I On January 31 the Blue Jays entered the Clinton Invitational Tournament. The first game was with the Appleton City Bulldogs. After the game got underway, the Blue Jays couldn't stop the Bulldogs from scoring. The score at the half was 21 to 23 in favor of Appleton City. When V the final buzzer sounded Montrose was trailing by a score of 41' to 59. On Tuesday, February 1, Montrose played their second game of the tournament with Calhoun. This was an exciting game. Montrose started hitting in the last quarter and came out on top with a score of.56 to 49. . On Thursday night the Blue Jays played Kingsville for consolation. At the end of the first qua:-ter'Montrose was ahead 2 points. At the half Kingsville had a 4 point lead. At the end of the third quarter Kingsville was still ahead by Z points. But, at the end of the game Montrose was ahead by 12 points, cinching for Montrose the consolation trophy. The basketball boys would like to extend their appreciation to the student body, the faculty, and the whole community for helping them make this a successful season. 32 5 gf Choru ,AQ Y. , , T w-. t- - vi W 4 -. ,,.,., , . , V Y ! ,M- ff u 4- , .
