Our sponsors were Mrs. Parks and Mr. Freeman We elected the following officers: president, Rolland Ball; viee-president, Larry Lee; Secretary-Treasurer Frances Hahnfeld; student council members, Robert Tyson and Anne Kehl. We took part in various activities such as assemblies, Y-Teen plays, and music programs. We had two class parties which were enjoy- ed by all. Thus ended our freshman year. As September again came knocking, we found ourselves once more taking up the activity-laden schedule of school. We met with our sponsors, Miss Dennis and Mr. Coppenbarger, to elect our officers as follows: president, Robert Tyson; vice-president, Barbara Harold; secretary-treasurer, Shirley Byerley; student council members, Joyce Page and Tony Rice. Although we had only twenty-five members this year, we took part in music, athletics, and other activities. Two parties were held this year and too soon our Sophomore year come to an end. The year 1956-1957 finds twenty-four of us members of the Junior Class of PRHS. Under the supervision of Miss Frederickson and Mr. Ward, we elected these officers: president, Barbara Harold; vice- president, Joyce Page; Secretary, Grace Bearly; treasurer, Larry Hass; student council members, Janice Cady and Robert TySOn. This seemed to be the busiest year of them all. In the fall, we presented our class play ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN In which seventeen members of the class participated. Sharon Byerley was elected homecoming attendant. At the end of the first semester, we gained another member, Rol- land Ball, but lost Anne Kehl to the Senior Class, so our number stayed the same. Spring found us busily planning the Junior-Senior Bancuet. All members of the class worked diligently at this task and carried out the theme, Old Mexico , with elaborate decorations. The banouet was presented April 26, 1957 This busy year was brought to a restful close with a picnic at the Garnett Lake. September, 1957, finds twenty-one of us ready to complete our high school days. We met with our sponsors. Miss Frederickson and Mr. Lemon, to elect the following officers: Larry Haas, president; Rolland Ball, vice-president; Frances Hahnfeld, treasurer; Robert Tyson, sec- retary; and Joyce Page and Keith Baird, student council members. In the fall, Joyce page was elected homecoming queen with Grace Bearly as her attendant. Joyce was elected cheerleader, and Grace was elected Y-Teen President. The beginning of the second semester Joan McBride brought the number of our class members to twenty-two. As Spring once more lurked around the corner, twelve of us began working on our Senior Play, DANGER FROM THE SKY, which was presented April 1|. The Juniors presented us with a banquet April 25, the theme being Sayonara . Early Friday morning. May 2, nineteen sleepy Seniors and two sponsors with Mr. Koontz driving the bus left for the scenic Ozarks on our sneak trip. We arrived back in Parker the afternoon of May I4. with less sleep than we started with, but memories we will keep always. The beginning of the end of our high school days came Sunday eve- ning, May lo, as we attended our baccalaureate services. The final move to the end was the graduation services held May 23 1956. Dr. Lester L. Tracy of Pittsburg State Teachers College delivered the address. Joyce Page gave the valedictory address and Barbara Harold, The salutatory address. Larry Haas gave the Class History; Janice Cady, the Class Prophecy; and Grace Bearly, the Class Will. CLASS FLOWER—White Rose CLASS COLORS—Light Blue and White CLASS MOTTO—They conquer who believe they can. PROPHECY Hello folks! Here It Is 1978 and many things have happened since that commencement night twenty years ago. I wonder how those young people have made out In this old world? I believe I111 take a stroll down Memories Drive to see. Would you care to Join me? Shirley Lawson finally got Ronald to propose. They spend most of their time fishing in the mountains. Shirley Is pretty good at catch- ing Trout - man's that is. Joan McBride and Roger were married, but Roger has quite a time keeping up with Joan's modeling career. She loves these new bustles. You know how Larry Haas disliked girls, well that is all changed now. He's married and has six of them. They live on the moon where Larry is in charge of space travel. Little Joyce Page accepted seconds once too often. She is now the fat lady of the circus. Kenneth Magers became a millionaire overnight. He found a commer- cial use for cockle burs; he grinds them into meal for chinchillas. Sharon Byerley has replaced 'Bashful Bob' on the Ozark Opery. A talent scout saw her imitate him while we were on Sneak. Marion Stites, Jr. is following in his father's footsteps. His motto: School will run Just as well without me so why go. Grace Bearly is working for the government. She is the only woman test piolt in the world. She is now trying out a new wingless airplane. Theron Millard has taken over the movies. He is presently play- ing the title role In his new production of Shorty . I see Ringling Bros, couldn't find a strong man for their circus so Prances Hahnfeld has volunteered her services. Ira Reed married a basket weaver. They how have enough little 'reeds' to make by hand a hundred baskets a day. Barbara Harold is a court strenographer and also is helping her husband solve the 'Case of the Shrunken Head'. Robert Tyson is the World Champion swimmer. Next week he will attempt to swim the Atlantic Ocean. Kathy Staley took the boys hint when they called her.hat a flying saucer. She is now traveling for Mars - testing reactions on a new type candy bar. Rolland Ball is manufacturing the new Jet stream cars especially for Parkerites, so they won't notice the holes in Linn County's roads. Remember that blonde Evonna Davey, well she has been married seven times. When the new wears off she gets a new man. Keith Baird is Mayor of Little America. His metropolis is ship- ping ice cubes to all parts of the world. Janice Cady's life long ambition has been realized. She is happily married to a large-scale farmer, is the mother of six husky boys, and teaches Judo in a near-by college. Larry Lee is in the Air Force and is stationed in the desert in Africa. It is so much like Kansas he is teaching the natives how to farm in his spare time. Who's that with all those blond-headed kids. Why it's Shirley Byerley. She and Elzia settled their differences and were finally married. Paul Kline has become one of the largest farmers in Eastern Kan- sas. The fact of the matter is he's the Only One. Well, here we are at the end of Memories Drive. That certainly was a long and interesting stroll. I hope you enjoyed yourselves. BY JANICE CADY We the Claes of 1958, pretending to be In possession of sound minds, do here-by proclaim this to be our last will and testament. To the entire student body we leave our quiet dignity, fun- loving nature, willingness to post-pone tests, and craving for chocolate milk. The candy bar wraopers that have collected in the biology room during the year we leave to the faculty, suggesting that they use the ’ to start a collection in a scrapbook labeled Sacred Memories from Years Gone Past . We also give them permission to use our names as living examples of ideal students. The boys beoueath the front row of chairs in the Government room to next year’s senior girls and we girls leave the last two rows to next year’s senior boys with a request that they sit only in every other chair as we were in the habit of doing. To the sophomores we bequeath our closeness as a class. And we will our steady nerve in time of a crisis to the freshmen. Ira Reed leaves his quiet, studious manner and straight A average to Billy Wingate. Sharon Byerley wills her ability to do imitations of Bashful Bob to Linda Prentice. Ronald Troutman beoueathes his persuasiveness to Bobby Dumcum. Frances Hahnfeld leaves some of her muscle power to our future football team. Several of them could use it. Keith Baird gives his mean football ability to the coach. Joan McBride bequeaths her long blaclc ha’r to Carol Hodgson. Paul Kline gives Stella back to Brenda since she introduced them. Evonna Davey leaves her baby talk to Luella Brown. Marion Stites wills his unusual attendance record to anyone who cares to try to break it. (Let’s hope no one does.) Kathy Staley leaves her shy, retiring manner to Charlene Kittrell in hopes that she’ll put it to good use. Theron Millard wants to divide his height among next year’s A basketball team. He has plenty to go around. Janice Cady benueaths her fondness of arguing with the coach to Norma Webb and her ability to have flat tires to Mr. Ward. Larry Haas gives his winning ways with the girls to Larry Light. Shirley Byerley leaves her baton twirling ability to Clyde Alexander. Rolland Ball leaves, if not intelligent answers, his reas- suring smile to Gene Mitchell. Barbara Harold wills her ambition to study and make A’s and her quiet disposition to George Jackson with a reauest that he practice some of It. Larry Lee leaves his wavy hair to Jimmy Simms. Shirley Lawson bequeaths her acting ability to anyone who needs it but decided to keep her innocent look when there’s been some mischief done. Kenneth Magers wills his National Guard uniform to Jimmy Hill. Take good care of it Jim. Joyce Page leaves her kindness to cats to Gerry Barrett and suggests that she keep a record of how many she eliminates by cutting notches in the dashboard of her car. Robert Tyson (sometimes known as Little Bo Peep ) wills his sheep-er clipboard to someone who can keep better track of it than he did. Grace Bearly leaves her singing ability to Tom McCray with the hope that he will make good use of it. In witness there-of we have here set our seal th 8 23rd day of May A.D. 1958.

The Juniors kept busy during the fall working in the conces- sion stand at the football games. Later seventeen Juniors and one Sophomore presented tne Junior Play '.'Meet Me in Saint Louis on November 22. During the first semester they were unlucky in losing Wendell Smith because of illness; but they also gained Brenda Gross, so the cias3 number remained tne same. Janet Knight's moving away and Joan McBride'3 deciding to become a Senior cut the class to 28. On Friday, April 25, the Seniors were entertained with the Junior-Senior Banquet. The theme wa3 based on Oriental Gardens . Many an hour was 3pent on the decorating of the gym,but they feel it wa3 a definite success. Four of the Junior Class participated in the district musical festival at Emporia.
