HISTORY In the fall of 1949 three green Freshmen embarked upon their High School Career. We were initiated by the upper-classmen.

She previously attended Modesto High, Modesto, California. ‘The last part of the first semester, ‘Alice Hoover joined the ranks of the married. “on Wende departed from the Freshman class the first part of the second semester. Our Sophomore year, the Freshman and Sophomore classes combined to elect officers. President was Aurellia Grose, and Lucille Reasy held the Reporters job. Our Junior year we welcomed Sharon (Skip) Gormley to our class and elec- ted officers. President was Lucille Reasy, Vice President was Skip Gormeley, and Aurellia was secretary-Treasurer. This year we started to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet by helping to sponsor a carnival. The Junior-Senior Prom was held May 3rd. We enjoyed a dinner at the Ranch House - Fried Chi- cken and all the trimmings, later we went to Meadow Acres and enjoyed an eve- ning of dancing. We returned home in the wee, wee hours of the morning of May 4th. Our class sponser this year was Mary Kibler. We entered our Senior year under the sponsorship of Mr. Anderson. Our class officers were: President Lucille Reasy, Secretary-Treasurer Aurellia Grose, and Reporter Skip Gormley. We raised money this year by editing the CARDINAL. We had our pictures taken on November 10th, Aurellia's were taken by Strathmans Studio, Seneea; and Lucille's and Skip's were taken by Dryer's, in Sabetha. We look forward with enthusiasm to the Junior-Senior Banquet and to Sneak Day. Then we will take our leave of Oneida High Schoo, and of every friend and teacher, whom we appreciated and loved. PROPHECY It is now 1973, in the new high school building, which was built in hon - or of the sponsor of the class of '53, now holding its reugion. We see Luc- ille Reasy - - Oops! - - the last name of course is changed; talking to some lady in white - - why it must be - - it is! It is Aurellia Grose, she is very busy now as the active Head Nurse at Mayo Clinic. We'll go closer and hear a conversation; she is telling Mrs. Goertzen how Science has helped her - to be able to understand that blood runs in the veins - that skin covers the human body, which has bones. And we hear Lucille ask for certain How To books, on housekeeping and child care. Now why in the wrld, after twenty years wou ld she need those? Oh, now there must be some mistake! Mr. Goertzen says there are some little children running all over the dining hall! Hm, here comes the other member of our class, Skip. That explains it. Well, since we've all arrived lets go into the dining hall and partake of that delicious meal, hamr, purgers, cokes, and french fries. Lucille almost immeadiately afterwards far. the plant, which her husband owns; its the Boat Factory, here in Oneida, that was the first in the nation to use atomic energy in the oars. Aurellia left after making her apologies, for she just mustn't miss that lectury by Oneldas famed doctor in the Medical Arts Bulding, on the use of the plastic heart.Now last but not least and after numerous spilled cokes, and arguments that you do not fill your pockets to feed the pup, Skip and her family have departed for home. Chore time comes early, you know. Now, that leaves only Mrs. Curtain, Mr. and Mrs. Goertzen, and Mr. Ander- son, contemplating that its, Just like school was a few secomds after last pell, twenty years ago. After making plans to meet in the state gymnasiun, erected in Oneida, only last year , the teachers also take leave. Mr. Ander- son may be late for the game, but he'll see William, Junior play, anyway!!! Mrs. Curtain says Lindy is having a taffy pull with her Senior Classmates of Manhattan, and she must get home to help. Mr. and Mrs. Goertzen hope that it wont be too late to pick up their twins from Oneida's day nursery.

f t i : i i f i y | { [ } i ‘ The Senior Class of 1953, being of sound mind, excluding our idiocyncrasies, taking int o consideration our well develo- ped manners, our serene and punctual attendance of classes, our initiative, co-operation and our recoursefulness do hereby publish and execute this, our will and testament. I, Lucille Reasy, will my library work to Jerome Allen my General Science ability to the on coming Freshmen, fand my typing ability to LaRae Chandler, 1 leave my study halls to Rosie Lierz, my center position, ard basketball suit § to my sister Phyllis Reasy. I leave my seat in the study hall to Jerry Seibenmorgan; my glasses to anyone who'd wear them, I, Aurellia Grose, will my shower cap to Barpvara King until she gets hers, my class ring to Mr. Baker, so he won't have to always bring it to me. I leave my thirftyness to a couple of spendthrifts, R. H. and L. C. I leave my splend- id grammer and spelling to the Junior Boys, my quietness in study halls to Rosalita Lierz, my typing A's to Wanda, maybe she can get one.!' I leave my hand book, Learning to Drive to Jerry Seibenmorgan, maybe he'll be as fine a teacher as I have been. I give my seat in study hall to the one and only Buddy Bauman. Since I have set the record for always being on time I leave this to Betty and Kendall to uphold. I, Sharon Gormley, leave my drivers license, and my ford to Wanda Baker, my gum wrappers to Annette Anderson, all my endearing young charms to all those in need of them, I also leave my beautiful- ly cultivated voice to Vaden Allen, with these words of hope: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I leave my tom-boyish personality and my jeans to Alice Koch, my basketball suit, if it isn't too big, to Jean Pendland, and you can have my position, too. My class punctuality, I give to Roger Allen, and my history grades to Jerry Norton, my seat in the study hall to Rex Allen, if he wil stay in it as I have always done. I leave my end position at the cafeteria table to Jeannie Boltz, in between the boys, Jeannie. We three leave the ability to vote unanimously on all important measures to the Freshmen, our better than average choice of class rings to the Sophmores, and to our most co-operative associates, the Juniors, we leave our righteousness, well rounded personalities and our uncommonly good looks. We leave our appetites for lunch to the on comming Freshmen, if they will take their place and be patient as we always were. To our dearly beloved teachers(we shall always hold you close to our hearts) we leave to the next classes, and hope they will appreciate and love them, even as we have been appreciated and loved. We leave our erasers, pencils, and other parephenalia to the teachers to distribute as prizes among the well behaved under graduates. SIGNED of Howe Yee Lease?
