SENIORS LOOK FORWARD This article was taken from the “Parker Gazette” May 22, 1956. NOTED EDUCATOR TO SPEAK HERE R. B. Sundgren, one-time principal of Northern Yuma County Union High School will speak tonight on “The Values of Education” in the new high school auditorium. During a recent interview Mr. Sundgren related the whereabouts of the Senior Class of 1946 when he was principal at NYCUHS. He plans to use the story of their progress in his speech tonight. Frank Clements is now at the head of the Physical Edu- cation Department at Ohio State University. After graduating from Parker, Frank went to the University of Arizona. In our own city we find Kenneth Bonds manager of the three theaters. Kenneth began by working in the original theater while in high school. Velma Welch and Jacqueline Wilbanks continued on to college. Miss Welch is head nurse at a nursing school in Phoenix and Miss Wilbanks is junior executive of the Miles Designing Corporation in Washington, D. C.

SENIORS LOOK BACKWARD The Senior Class of '46 looked back on its twelve years of school. In September 1934 many children told their mothers good-bye and started off to school. Kenneth Bonds was one of these at Parker and Mrs. Kent was the teacher at the grammar school. Velma Welch came to Parker in the second grade under Mrs. Kent. The children during the third and fourth grade had a terrible time trying to make up their minds on what side of the room they should sit. In the fifth grade Mr. Belluzzi had to put up with their ingenious pranks. Then comes the sixth under Mr. Nichelson. Even though the studies did not appeal to the students, Mr. Nichelson’s paddle soon got them down to work. The seventh grade was taught by Mr. Belluzzi. Mr. W. D. Wallace appeared upon the scene in the eighth grade. Two operettas were given during the eighth grade and Kenneth Bonds entertained the crowd in one by being the court jester. Now at last high school days were here. Seventeen freshmen walked majestically in the door but after the effects of initiation they soon found their places. During that year the freshmen gave one assembly and the New Year’s Dance. Jackie Wilbanks entered at the first of the year. The sophomore year gave the students a chance to look down upon the lowly freshmen. The class gave two assemblies and two dances during the year. Finally, they were upperclassmen! The juniors under the supervision of Miss Muriel Kinman gave two assemblies, two dances, and the Junior banquet, honoring the seniors. Frank Clements was added to the roll that year. Then in September 1945 five seniors enrolled under Mr. Fred Beemon but Billy Choate dropped out, thus leaving only four. “It’s great to be a senior is true but as they look back over their school life, they sadly regret leaving their school and friends.
