Lemon Sponsor SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 19i 8, a litter of innocent little panther cubs struggled to their wobbly legs, inquiringly looked about this eccentric, new world—the halls of P.R.H.S.—and found themselves a part of a large family of Panthers. Some- time during the first few weeks one cub strayed too far into the hills' n' hollers and was lost; but the other thirty-two, having become accustomed to this den, stayed close. For systematic living they formed a government of their own to guide them in their activities about the school. They elected the follow- ing officers! George Henry Diehm, president; Carol Mathews, vice-president; Lois McCarty and Carol Jeanne Mitchell were chosen, by the student body, aa cheer- leaders. Each one sufficiently survived initiation—with its embarrassments, anxieties, and fun—to enjoy several class parties, as well as numerous other family events of the school year. In 191 9 after a three months' vacation, the pack, minus two, returned to P.R.H.3. to receive more book lamin' . Being of a democratic spirit, the cubs elected the following class officers; president, Carol Jeanne Mitchell; vice president. Gene Cady; secretary, Lois McCarty; treasurer, Jim Logan; student council members, Carol Mathews and Carl Hardesty. The cubs' advisors were Miss Frederickson ancl Mr. Allai. Two of this panther litter left their fellow pack members to enter other schools. One shy young lady wandered in and was quickly adopted. Together they enjoyed two class parties. Later, all participated in work-day to raise money for the treasury. In September 1950, thirty full grown panthers returned to the old den to begin the last half of their secondary education. Officers elected for the year were: president. Gene Cady; vice president, Carol Mathews; secretary, Lewis Dale; treasurer, Freda Mathews; student council members, Marjorie Macoubrle and Earl Richardson. Miss Gage and Mr. Beck were chosen sponsors. Wanda Hudson was selected cheerleader. During the term two lost critters strayed in and joined the pack. This year the group took a more active part in school activities. The boys proved a credit to P.R.H.S. football, basketball and track teams. Some of the year's fun was derived from the several class parties and an all-school party. A junior play, Head-First , was presented by fourteen members of the class. In the spring, a formal banquet, with the Rainbow theme, was given in honor of the senior class members. In the fall of 1951, these thirty-one panthers and one new member entered the halls of P.R.H.S. to receive their last year of high school lamin'. The chosen officers were; Carl Hardesty, president; Billy Mills, vice president; Lloyd Wilson, secretary; Earl Richardson, treasurer; Carol Mathews and George Henry Diehm, student oounoil members, Mr. Lemon was the sponsor. Eany in the year. Uncle Sam pressed a call for Rollan Wright's service so ne became a G.I. of the Air Force. These senior panthers have shared in many dramatic and athletic activities. The annual senior play, One Wild Night, was presented reputably by seventeen members of the class on April 11. The speech class were guest entertainers for two church societies. The Panther Press was published bi-monthly. A banquet, with the theme Round-up , was given in their honor by the Junior class. Two sneak days to the Ozarks were enjoyed by the class, their sponsor, and Mrs. Parka. These four years have been busy ones, yet they may prove to have been the happiest of their lives. Time has gone fast. The days have been filled with one activity after another. The class may claim some outstanding contributions to the school. There is pride in the boys who have creditably achieved in athletics, for those who have contributed worthily to the music department, for the members who have met their responsibilities as organization leaders, and for those who have been good citizens. Commencement, the goal to which some have earnestly striven, closed a im- portant chapter in the lives of each member of this class of '52. But in the days and years to come, they shall fondly recall each bit of it, page by page; and realize that it wad in P.R.H.S. that the foundation on which they set their lives was laid. Each shall proudly flaunt his title, Panther of Parker Rural High School. C.M., C.M., W.B. CLASS PHOPHECY It's 1992 and I've been many places since the commencement exercises of 1952. Those were the good ol' days but little did I realize the Joys which were ours then. I'll take a stroll down Memory Lane; with the class panel to recall personalities. Remember that cute little brunette that used to keep the halls of P.R.H.S. ringing with laughter? I mean Barbara Stiffler. Well, she and Leslie finally married. They are living on the Weirch Estate in Kincaid. Seven little Welrch’s complete their family. Carl Hardesty, now known as Happy, manages the Ford Plant In Detroit. Henry Ford IV is taking lessons from Carl on how to build better Fords. Carol Mitchell has been married—how many times? Anyway, now she's writ- ing a song called Never Again. You remember Carol Mathews, the girl with the sweet disposition? She and Carrol Ball made quite a spark and they decided to get married. Carro' Is recognized as the stockman of Linn County, Kansas. Dale Kinder, better known as Sleepy, owns the Goodrich Trucking Co.— now hauls school-skippers for Mr. Lemon. Dale lost his hope for claiming Phyllis when her fiance returned from military duties. Wayne Crisler took Frankie Sinatra's place In the movies. He's now star- ing In, I'm a Woman Hater. George Crosby is now singing on television with Bing and Gary Crosby. He hopes to catch a wife while on vacation this summer even If he is slightly bald. Lewis Dale Is president of the United States. He plans to build a new White House this fall. You remember those two seniors who so frequently sang I Only Have Eyes For You ? I mean Earl Richardson and Marjorie Macoubrie. They are living in California. Marjorie is a radio singer and Earl is a broncho buster. Lois McCarty kept her promise and married Don Breuel. They now have two girls. Don and Lois have done quite well—they now own the Blue Moon night club. Lois says they made It only because she had a bank account. Roberta Troutman became an artist. Her latest picture is Splash On An Easel . Richard Creighton is the cashier In the Parker State Bank. He gets a new car every three months—says, After three months a car is no good. Wilma Baldwin and Johnnie Davey are living In Fontana where Johnnie is postmaster. Wilma says she likes being the wife of a postmaster—that way she knows all the latest gossip. Gene Cady finally married that cute little blonde from Centerville. He now shares interest in two large oil wells in Oklahoma. Jeanetta Dysart is a famous opera singer. Her favorite song is When It's Toothpicking Time In False Teeth Valley . Joyce Sims is teaching school at Walnut Grove. Her husband is working on a new invention, cars that do not use gas.

Ivan Ross Is a barber in Parker. The sign on the window reads Come in and get scapled for only one dollar. Carl 'White is a Vocational Agriculture teacher, a graduate of Manhattan. Lloyd Wilson is a professor in Kansas University. His motto is, Do What I Want, You Too, Kids. Socony Schmidt coaches football in Colorado. His wife nags him so much he can't keep his football plays separated from his quarrels. Billy Mills is a band leader in New York. Spike Jones tries hard to keep up with him but he finally had to doff his hat to Billy. Harold Weeks is Senator of Kansas. He ran for senator earlier but failed to swing the election. His wife informed him that if he wasn't elected this time he could just keep on running until he did win. Herschel Keitel is the owner of the former Polloy Brothers' store. Everyone remembers that cute little girl, Freda Mathews. Freda's career began after a talent scout saw her performance in the senior play. She went to Hollywood, and then to become the toast of Bros.- way. Yes, all the seniors of '52 are accounted for. Life's school has been good to them. That was quite a Journey—an interesting one, however. m - a â–  HAROLD KNIGHT Basketball Football WALTER ROBISON ELAINE KIRKPATRICK Junior Play LUCILLE MATHEWS RICHARD McCOACH DONNA WISHART Y-Teen Cabinet Junior Play SHIRLEY MAHON Y-Teen Cabinet Cheerleader Treasurer DONALD CLINE Junior Play ADA LOU SHEARER YVONNE HOWELL Student Council Y-Teen Cabinet Cheerleader 2 CHARLES BOYDSTON Student Council VIRGIL LYONS LAVAUGHN HOWELL Cheerleader 2 Junior Play Secretary EUGENE ROGERS Vice-President Band 3 DARRELL STITES Junior Play NOVELLA BRINK Cheerleader CAROL WHITE Y-Teen Cabinet Band 1$ LLOYD CROSBY Band 3 ALBERT WILCOX F.F.A.

The senior panthers provided a moderate initiation for the freshmen cubs as an all school entertainment. A number of pantherettes participated in Y-Teen plays. In September, 1950, a pack of twenty-seven panthers returned to the halls of P.R.H.S. The following class officers were elected: president, Eugene Rogers; vice-president, Albert Wilcox; secretary, Carol White; treasurer.

The class elected the following officers: president, Patsy Mundell; vice-Presidenti Doris McCarty; secretary and treasurer. Bill Hime; student council members, Deloris Brownback and Glenn Riley. Finally the dreaded, but anticipated day arrived. The seniors initiated the freshmen; and the alum candy, the shoe polish, and the stunts didn't seem so severe when the members realized they were now full-pledged Panthers. The class with their sponsors, Mr. Huff and Mr. Mauroni, held a weiner roast for their first party. Doris McCarty and Martha Clinesmith were the freshmen candidates for the homecoming queen and Bill Hime and Rex Davey were candidates for king. Their freshmen year ended with an all-school picnic at Garnett. When September, 1951, arrived twenty-two of the last year's cubs enrolled for the sophomore year. They looked different--beside increasing In stature, they were carrying an air of confidence. No longer were they green freshmen but old hands at this business of being a Panther. Mr. Cann was their spon- sor, and the officers elected were: president, Warren Knight; vice-president, Johnny Stark; secretary and treasurer, Carolyn Knight; reporter, Kathryn Qulsenborry; and student council members, Doris McCarty and Eugene Byerley. Deloris Brownback and Patsy Mundell served on the Y-Teen cabinet. Wanda Robison from Oklahoma increased the class number to twenty-three. When Johnny Stark and Donna Brumley left, the class numbered only twenty-one. Fate seemed determined to make the sophomore class remain smaller than any of the other three. Rex Davey was elected to take Johnny Stark's position as vice-presi- dent. Wanda Robison, Patty Morgan, Rex Davey, and Warren Knight were the candidates for the homecoming queen and king. The class party, held In the was a hayrack ride to the Cadmus picnic grounds; and the spring party was a trip to the Osawatomie Lake for a sack lunch and to the theatre for a movie. Now, all are looking forward to that glorious day when they shall en- roll as juniors. No longer will they be frolicking cubs, but upper classmen busy with the plans for class rings. Junior-senior banquet, and junior play.

One week later, another individual Joined the ranks. Bessie Prederlckson was appointed sponsor for this group, and soon the class organization was completed. Alice White was elected president; James Finfrock, vice-president; Carl Frear, secretary; and Dale Mahan, treasurer. Beth Diehm and Phil Polley were selected to represent the class on the student council. At the close of the third week the expected day arrived—the day about which the upper classmen talked so much—the day about which the freshmen con- dared so much. It was Initiation Day. Such a mothy group of hoboes as arriv- ed at school that mornlngl They had little time for study; so busy were they in saluting the sophomores, bowing to the Juniors, and kneeling in obeisance to the seniors. An assembly was called when everyone enjoyed the stunts per- formed by the freshmen hoboes under the able direction of the student council president. By the close of the day they were as much a part of P. R. H. S. as any student who ever spent four years within its walls. Following the lead of the other classes, the freshmen were quick to adopt the customs and to assume the responsibilities of the school. Marjorie Wilcox became one of the school cheer leaders; many found places in athletics, in musical groups, in Pep Club and in Y-Teen. The social event for the first semester was Octobex- 22, when the majority of the class members, the sponsor, and a faculty guest enjoyed a hayrack ride to Polley's Pasture. Upon arrival, a huge bonfire was started, and soon wien- ers were sizzling over the embers. December 7, marked the time when the class members displayed their drama- tic and musical abilities by presenting the assembly program. At the beginning of the second semester. Bill Hlme came from Colorado and enrolled in the class, thus raising its number to thirty-three--the largest enrollment of all the four classes. These Panther cubs are looking forward to bigger and better experiences during the next three years in high school. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Waiting to march In... Keep up your enthusiasm...

It was first operated at no charge to the stu- dents, being operated largely from subsidies of the federal government. In lgipl for the first time a charge of 5 cents per meal was made to participating students. For the past several years the cost has been held to 20 cents per meal. The federal government subsidizes the program 8 cents per meal, and con- tributes surplus commodities which enables the program to operate at such a low cost to the students. Last year at mid-term the program was moved to its present location, the lower south west rooms. Today the program has two new electric ranges, a new 10-foot refrigerator, and a new washer. The school lunch program under the capable management of Mrs. Jim Ma Conklin is one of the outstanding features of PRHS. Her delicious meals are the talk of the entire school. She prepares and serves, with the assistance of six hign school girls, over one hundred meals daily. The school I 111® 1 pro- gram has come to be recognized as an indispensable service of the school. ©iris ©lee©ittb First row: Alice White, Doris McCarty, Kathryn Quisenberry, Carol White, Wanda Troutman, Lucille Mathews, Donna wlshart.

Parker Rural High offers four units, the first three giv- en to the study of literature and grammar, the fourth to speech and journalism. The literature work comprises the reading and studying of short stories, classics by English and American authors, full-length Shakespearean plays, short play, various types of poetry, American folklore, diaries, and essays. The grammar study includes spelling, letter-writing, punctuation, pro- nunciation, diagraming, diction, outlining, writing of compositions, and sen- tence structure. Oral compositions are given in the forms of introductions, interviews, book reviews, and panel discussions. The journalism class edits and publishes the school paper, Panther Press . The speech class writes several forms of compositions, studies the var- ious types of literature, plans and presents many programs. Development of pleasing personalities, questions of etiquette, and pro- blems of meeting the public have been widely discussed. Joyce Sims Wilma Baldwin Roberta Troutman Carol Mitchell Carol Mathews Wilma Troutman Jeannette Dysart Freda Mathews In September 1951 eight of the older panthers, braved the hazards of English to become members of the speech class. This was the beginning of a year filled with activities for these young ladles and their teacher, Mrs. Parks. The first official work of this group was the election of a staff which edited and published the Panther Press. Mr. Cann, the commerce teacher, assisted with the typing. Soon Invitations to present programs for various community organizations arrived. The response to these requests was the presentation of Christmas en- tertainments to the Parker and to the Centerville W.S.C.S. organizations. These pantherettes also presented three assembly programs to the faculty and student body. Early In May, they gave a Mother's Day Tea with their mothers and lady faculty members as guests. On May 17, the class went to Lawrence where they saw the play, Twelfth Night presented by the dramatics class of the University of Kansas. These and other activities contributed to an enjoyable and profitable year In English IV. MATHEMATICS ADVANCED CLASSES FRESHMAN ALGEBRA Have you ever stopped to think how necessary mathematics is to our present civilization? The sinplest business transaction could_n His carried on without a knowledge of figures. There are few modern dis- coveries that are not based on number, measurement or form. Without the formulas of mathematics our national defense could not build necessary ships, guns, planes, and tanks. The Mathematics Department offers this year the following subjects: Algebra, Plane Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Solid Busi Arithmetic. Forty-six students are enrolled in these courses. o f £ fl t A.£ 8 The PFA officers for 1951-52' reading from left to right are; Mr. Huff, adviser; Albert Wilcox, secretary; Gene Cady, vice-pres- ident; Carl Hardesty, president;- Lloyd Wilson, treasurer; Henry Diehm, reporter; and, Wayne Crisler, sentinel. These officers mapped the program of activities for the year for the organiza- tion. A program of work was sent in to the State organization. The officers each head a committee in the organization and thus holds a large responsibility in the actual governing of the group. This year their were 39 members in the organization. The Junior class in vocational agriculture watching a cut- ting demonstration on an old car frame which was used in cons- tructing a trailer. Trailers, feeders, hog houses, garden trac- tors, articles of furniture and many small items which help the boys gain skills in use of shop equipment are the type of work done in farm shop.

We now have four complete kitchen units made-up of the best equipment on the market. The Foods Class, composed of ten girls, completed seven units of planning, preparing, and serving food during which time correct number of calories ana balanced meals were stressed.

End runs by opponents never succeeded around his end. His pass snagging ability won the Mound City game.

Crisler, converted from end to guard, was a rough and ready tackier and blocker. Ball was an outstanding defensive player. Creighton was a dependable center, who improved as the season progressed. TACKLERS Wright was a fine signal caller tackier. Hardesty was a tackier and a good line backer. HARDESTY-Tackle WRIGHT-Tackle SCHMIDT-Back CADY-Fullback MILLS-End A fast speedy back with plenty of drive. Converted from a guard to a fullback. A good blocking end. JUNIORS The only underclass- men on the starting eleven. Watch them next year. 4aK JBr •■vJe'tSXf KNIGHT-Wlngback KINCAID The first game of the season proved to be a costly one for the Panthers, as they lost the game 13-6 and also the services of Jim Logan for a large part of the season. In this game Kincaid displayed a heavy and powerful team which proved its capabilities by pushing the Panthers down in defeat. OLATHE (DEAF) A completely demoralized Panther eleven never got into the ball game as the Olathe School for the Deaf romped all over them at Olathe. Minus the services of Logan and playing half-heartedly Parker went down by the score of lj2-6. They appeared to be anything but championship caliber as they blundered and errored repeatedly to throw away all chances early in the game. MOUND CITY Parker flew to a II4.-O win over Mound City on the strong passing arm of Jim Logan and beautiful catches by Earl Richardson. Earl made all fourteen points on reception of Logan's passes. The revamped Panther line proved its merits by holding M. C. scoreless. PLEASANTON On a sunny afternoon in early October the Panthers steam rolled over Pleas- anton by a score of 18-6 with power again telling the story. Once again Logan showed ability as he slanted off tackle for repeated long gains and to score. Parker's line proved to be the back-breaker of Pleasanton as it refused time and time again to permit Pleasanton's backfield men to get underway. BLUE MOUND Blue Mound slashed to a 12-7 win over the Panthers on a cold, sloppy, rain- soaked field. The Panthers played in spurts and failed to come through with the winning touchdown and numerous opportunities. BRONSON Parker trampled a fighting Bronson eleven at home on a crisp, cold evening in late October to the tune of 32-6. This game was high-lighted by the vicious blocking and tackling of Wayne Crlsler and hard charging of Jimmy Logan. LA CYGNE The La Cygne game was played in a snowstorm which caused footing to be un- sure and ball handling hazardous. The game was delayed 1 5 minutes due to a high- way accident delaying the officials. Sheer power decided the game with Parker coming out on the long end of the score. Surprisingly enough there were few miscues in the snowy game. Parker put the game on ice late in the lj.th period. GRIDLEY On a beautiful summer afternoon early in November the Panthers Journeyed to Gridley to be defeated 13-6. The Gridley team was much heavier and displayed speed and rugged ability as well. Wright and Crisler were sidelined with injur- ies as the powerful Gridley tackles ruled the line. WELLSVILLE Wellsville edged by Parker 13-6 here at Parker on a cold, snowy, windy nite late in November. A speedy halfback coupled with good blocking gave Wellsville its two touchdowns while Parker scored one on hard-plunging line play witdi Carrol Ball scooping up a fumble and running lj.0 yards for a touchdown. This climaxed a season of ups and downs with the Panthers winning four and losing five, scoring 108 points to 111 for their opponents. Considering everything Coach Grindol and his squad had a fair season. Parker had a rather disasterous basketball season winning but two In regular season play and one In the Linn County tournament. Pleasanton and Kincaid were the season's victims, while Mound City, twlce-beaters of Parker fell In the tournament before the Panthers. During the entire season Parker scored 688 points while all opponents scored 1036. Listing only the games each was high point man In, the high scorers for the year were:Henry Diehm-93; Albert Wilcox-73, Jim Logan-70; Ivan Ross-53i Dale Mahan-39; and Carl Hard- esty-32. The season's floor game by the Panthers was erratic. Sometimes they ap- peared unbeatable and other times spectators wondered if they knew what the ball was. Late in the season the team became much more prolific as a scoring unit. In beating Mound City and Kincaid at tue last proved that they were rounding out Into a fair team. The second team scored 399 points to 525 for their opposition; winning three and losing several others by very narrow margins. The Panthers used a fast break brand of ball with a minimum of dribbling and a great deal of passing and running. Each player seemed to have his night and seldom did any two hit the same evening. Albert Wilcox was high point man on a one game basis, scoring 27 against Mound City in the County Tournament. Henry Dlehm and Dale Mahan supplied the speed, while Carl Hardesty and Jim Logan had the height.

They had placed third last year in the Linn County Track Meet, and had two state cham- pions returning. They were: Jim Logan in the shot put and Wayne Crisler in the high jump. Since not one senior lettered in track last year, the expecta- tions for a successful season were high. As the season progressed it became apparent that Gene Cady was going to be a leading contender in the low hurdle races. Going into the first track meet sickness and accidents hurt the squads chances. Wayne Crisler suffered from a sprained ankle and the mumps and Earl Richardson from the mumps. Both boys were out of competition until the Fort Scott Relays on April 25. With Jim Logan leading the way and setting records at almost every meet the squad never failed to score points. Jim set records in the shot put at the Ottawa Relays, Pittsburg Relays, and Fort Scott Relays. He also chipped in a discus record at the Pittsburg Relays. His best shot put was 50 6 at Port Scott. Wayne Crisler in his first outing also set a new high jump record at the Fort Scott Relays of 5' 10£ erasing the old mark by 1+ inches. At the County meet held at Fort Scott on April 30 the squad garnered only 27 points and placed a lowly fourth. The boys who placed were: Gene Cady 2nd in 180 yard low hurdles Jim Logan 1st in shot put Gena Cadv kth in 100 vard dash Jim Logan 1st in discus SIâ„¢ Crisler 1st in high jump Jim Logan 1st in 220 yard dash Gems Cady, Earl Richardion, Philip Mathews and Jim Logan 2nd in 880 yard relay. Jim Logan was the only one who placed in the regional, and he placed second in the shot put in both th« regional and the state meets. The season had not been to expectations.
