These years have been a briefing and training for the future. In these years we have developed our minds, bodies, and spirits. Y e would like to leave some of our memorable happenings in this biography of our class so that they might act as signposts to posterity. As Freshmen, we began to acquire a sepse of responsibility and to gain a deep respect for the upper classmen. It increased as we felt the vastness of our ignorance in social life and also in the small accumulation of knowledge which we acquired As Sophomores we began our life as upper classmen. No longer would we be called ’’Green Freshies . Although the difference was only one year, the feeling of maturity was great. It was this year we began concentrating on the financial problems which we as a class, would have in the future years. As Juniors we undertook to become the pulse of the school. For this year we sold candy at the basketball games sold magazines, presented a play ”Hopps ville Holiday and sponsored the biggest event of the year, the Prom. This year we increased our sense of value and began to realize the importance of our school life in general. As Seniors, we look back and think of all the gay dances in which we took part, and all the gossip which was passed through the long halls, all the basketball games we attended. All we have learned, all we have done will make us better citizens for the future. JOKES??? David G. says: I call my car True Love” because it never runs smoothly, ’ hy did you stop singing in the Choir, Helen? Helen: ’ ell, one Sunday I was sick and didn’t sing, and a lot of people in the congregation asked if the organ had been fixed. Paul Alexander and Bill Paris were playing poker all night and were comparing notes the next morning. Bill: Did your wife have much to say when you got home last night? Paul: No, but that didn't keep her from talking for two hours. Mary Carmody: How are you doing in typeing? Donnie C. : Pretty good, I make twenty mistakes a minute now. Mr. Leirer: I didn’t understand what you said. Louie B. : No wonder, I haven’t said anything yet. Mary Carmody: (first old maid) I love sailors. Martha Ellis: (second old maid) OhJ You say that in all the wars.

HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS We, the class of '52, held out first meeting as juniors on V ednesday, September 20, 1951 • At this meeting the following officers were elected: President, Pat Gatton; Vice-President, Louis Burg; Treasurer, Tom Alexander; Secretary, Ruth Ann Willenborg; Sponsor, Mrs, Paris, We were eager to start our money-raising projects, and our first undertaking, a magazine drive, was successful, Then we gave a whopper of a play, The Brain-Storm, which Miss Carmody directed. This was enjoyed by all members of the class and the profits from the play were much greater than we had expected. The F.H.A, Carnival afforded us another opportunity to increase our funds, Ann 7 olker and Ruth Ann Willon-borg were selected as our candidates for queen of the carnival • We were happy to have football added to our varsity athletic program and we were kept busy all fall and winter v ith the food and drink concession at the games. All of this money-raising program leads to the one big event of the year—the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, Lri'.c. of 7aOC .r. Afc’-icnt was our theme, golden fried c-iicken was enjoyed thoroughly at our banquet, and we all had a perfectly heavenly evening dancing to the music of ,obby ICry« e Orchestra, • Sophomore Class History Wo haven’t been here long, so v o don’t have too much history, but v hat we do have will be v orth remembering. In September of 19i 9 twenty-eight meek Freshmen tiptoed into Pawnee High School--but that was in September, After initiation we woro officially one of tho gang and thoroughly unafraid. Our outstanding activity was a Christmas Party the girls gave the boys. Our officers were President Dick Sanders, Vice-President Dean Chastecn, Secretary Donna Jean Gore, Treasurer Nova Edge, V e chose Mrs, Garst for our class sponsor, Diek Sanders and Sue Walker were chosen to represent our class, on the Year Book Staff, In through the doors of Pawnee High School stormed thirty Sophomores.

Their first meeting was held on September 19« The following officers were elected: Vernon Maltby, President; Geno Lederbrand, Vice-President; LaRue Jones, Secretary; Elmer Havener, Tree surer. After the officers were elected, Mr. Leirer was chosen as class sponsor. The Freshman Class cooperated with the FHA in the Fall Carnival, The class had two concossions--ono a dart-throwing board (which the coach almost bankrupted), and the other a food concession. Later in the year, the freshmen sponsored a danco and weiner roast for the seniors. They finished off their year’s activities with a weiner roast for themselves at the Lcdcrbrands' home. vLP H43ET a - anxious - all girls b - best - Pawnee High c - conceited - most boys d - dangerous - women e - egotistical - Seniors (should be too) f - funny - George Richeson g - gallant - all senior boys h - hopeless - ost of the girls i - ignorant - Freshmen j - jargon - spoken by all students k - kicking - losers 1 - likeable - Hiss Carmody m - more - parties n - new - Miss Ellis o - open - some minds p - puny - all Pawnee's opoonets q - quiet - school, only at nite r - restful - study halls s - sweet - all senior girls t - treaty - an agreement betw on teachers and students u - understanding - teachers, at times v - virtious - no one w - wise - Science students x - xylidene - you tell us y - youthful - Mrs. Alexxnder z - zounds word used at exam time HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS A high sehool girl can either be A pain in the neck or a joy to see. A typical one would be hard to describe, Because each one differs from the rest of the tribe. There is one type--or so I’m told, That seems to be extremely bold. This miss could be in any class. Her wardrobe is full of Sloppy Joes;’ And with her its -- Anything oes. Her speech is spiced with the latest slang: She o strickly the glad gal of her gang. The junior sophisticate is next on the list. And we’ll tell you more if you insist. Life, v ithout dates to her is a bore. Because all males she does so adore. To school she wears dresses black and slinky. And behind her back, she is known as stink? . Of course there is always the sophomore child, She’s gigly and giddy and extremely wild. If she has a brain, it’s hard to tell. A safe spot for her is a padded cell. Bubble gum is her favorite sport. And she makes P’s on her report.

Brown, and D, Gilbert, t jttniof: play On November 17, the Junior Clasj presented the comedy, The Brainstor.n. Pat Gatton, as Willoughby Adams, wa3 a sh7, spineless college student. His auntst played by Helen .fright, Deloris Turley, and Zelma Frazier, were over-solicitous and constantly worried about 7il-loughby's health. Through the trickery of his conscience, as portrayed by Goroge Richeson, Willoughby found himself the college football hero. His popularity came aa a surprise to his friends, Ralph Jones, Harvey Downs, Johnny Newton, and Chuck Martin (Bob Lard, Don Matthew, Glenn Rutherford, and Louis urg), who ha • always felt free to borrow Willoughby's clothes H3 s new status demanded that he wear his own fine clothes--especially when pretty Sally Bishop (Ann V alker) began to take an interest in him. Marvel Neal, as Marybelle Turner, turned in an excellent performance of a dull, plain, uninteresting species of womanhood. Tom Alexander, as Coach Lloyd, and Dale Ack rson, as Hank Johnson, a husky football player, tried to help convince Willoughby and his aunts that the football team desperately needed him. Carol Payne, Betty Matthew, JoAnn White, Sylvia Millburg, Ruth Ann .Villenborg, Carol Brady, Elsie Mae McTaggart and Evelyn Lederbrand composed the cheering section. After days of indecision and argument, the distraught Willoughby finally agreed to be on the football team even though he may break his leg in three places and wear a cast on his neck for two years. SENIOR FLAY On the night of April 20, the Senior Class presented the play Everybody1s Crazy. The theme of the play was about three college boys who bought a hotel in order to increase their finances for the next school term. The troubles they had, the guests who stayed at their hotel, and the fun they had in paying for their business made the play a hilarious hit. The Seniors had a gay time at play practice—isn’t that right, Miss Carmody? The proceeds from the play certainly helped to finance oup Chicago trip.

Phillips,. A. Dozier, H. Willenborg, M. beal, R. Galloway, R. Lar' .. FOOTBALL Pawnee High School having its first year in the sport of football is seventeen years saw twenty-six boys turn out for the sport and do a nice job under the coaching of Alex Talcacs, Football fans were surprised at the progress made by the boys since many had seen only one football game before playing. The team had a good record by winning four out of six games played, three of which were with the B teams of the opposing schools. After a season of experience, great things can be expected of the team, since there are several undergrades who will step in an fill the positions made vacant by the six seniors who were on this year’s team. BASKETBALL With football gear in moth balls until next fall, out came basketball equipment. The first drill saw 19 fellows turn out for basketball. During the season eight games were won and fourteen were lost. The boys did quite well in the conf, games winning six out of nine games placing i;th in the !.!, S. M. standings. This is the first timethe team has been in the K.S.M. since 19V?. The team loses three lettermen who are seniors but with the nice showing of the B team, we should be in there pitching next season. f basl: all Eighteen fellows went out for baseball this year. This is the first season that Pawnee has competed in baseball, Nine games were scheduled. Due to the rainy weather the first part of pril, sevjral of the first games were postponed. The weather finally gave in and on April 19 the first game was plnyjd with Girard on the Pawnee diamond. Pa .ne was the victor chalking up 13 runs to Girard's one. Donnie Clements was credited with the win. After thc't the team lost two in a row to rorrisonville and iokomis. ,J-hen the team came bock with an impressing 24-7 win over Northwestern; following with two more wins over v averly 17-3 and St. Tames 6-3.

But there’s always a few who love to grind. Book knowledge to her i3 all that matters. She lacks the very thing worth many a pence Our grandfathers call good horse senceV She goes around with her nose in a book, And she never rates a second look. Then there is the girl who's very discreet. People in general, she's shy to meet. She is neat in her clothes and rather nice. But who likes sugar without any spice? And if you'll notice around your school. The girl that makes the fellows drool Is a compound mixture of them all. A girl can be short medium or tall. But if she's giddy and has a brain. Has book learning and is completely sene. Sophisticated, but still a shy child. Loud and friendly, and a little bit wild, And if she’s sweet with a little spice. She's the gal who's classed as nice. But bold, sweet, shy, or coy. Heaven help the high school boy!Ji 1st Rot : 2nd Row: 3rd Row: 1+th Row: J, Smith, PEP SQUAD C Fulk, M. Neal, S. 7 alker, D. Gore, K. Willenborg, L. Dozier, E.
