Student Council _____________ 1 High School Play_______________1 CLuWM ej 1945 We, the members of the Senior class do hereby leave the following to these students of Perry High School to accept and fulfill with the best of their ability. Emmalou Spiesman leaves her blond tresses to Lorraine Robinson. Nina Stinchcomb wills her big wide eyes to Nancy Craine. Ray Covell wills his Pin ups” to Mr. Stirm. Gordon Densmore leaves the wave in his hair to Bob Brewster. Ann Lefelhoc bequeaths her athletic ability to Delpha Taylor. The southern accent of Kenneth Sanders is left to Rich Warren. Lois Green leaves her cheerleading ability to Raymond Tenkku. Phyllis Frye wills her drawings of stream-lined numbers to any boy who is interested. Peggy Hevesy wills her physique to Charles Robinson. Joyce Coppock wills her ability to get in trouble through other people’s mishaps to Randy Brewster. Those—broad—shoulders of Lloyd Averill’s are left to the” girl to rest on. FAVORITE SAYINGS • Kenneth Sanders—Glad to see you—back! • Joyce Coppock—Oo-la-la • Ann Lefelhoc—Geezil peezil • Peggy Hevesy—That dumb Averill! • Nina Stinchcomb—Cats and Pajamas • Lloyd Averill—What are you doing? (Curiosity killed him) • Erma Norris—Are you kidding? • Gordon Densmore—Old Sock • Phyllis Frye—Ye gads! • Lois Green—I got a letter. • Emma Spiesman—For Gosh Sakes • Ralph Breniser—Well I’ll be! • Ralph Pohto—Gee how did I get that? • Ray Coveil—What’s the matter? • Miss West (our class sponsor)—Fold your papers and endorse them. CJO Kenneth Sanders—His soul is deep in the heart of Texas” so he’s going south to be a farmer. His choice is between a Fordson” and a Farmall” because driving a tractor is his favorite job. Gordon Densmore—He will be the boss of a large automobile agency. His spare time won’t be spent on spare parts but on strumming the old guitar.” Ray Covell—After giving his services in the war he is going to help establish the peace by engineering reconstruction projects. His determination will get him places. He might build another Empire State building. Ralph Pohto—His future efforts will be spent in teaching the trot, pace, run, canter, and gallop to students at his riding academy. The academy will prove profitable and a center of attraction. Ralph Breniser—He will be an automobile mechanic on the postwar streamlined plastic car. You break um—he’ll fix um. Look for the sign Ez’s Service Station.” Lloyd Averill— Aye! Aye Sir” ’cause Lloyd’s the master of his ship. He’ll start on the Lakes but we think the salt water will soon lure him to a Captaincy on an ocean liner. Lois Green—Nursing will be her life profession. She will be efficient, businesslike, pleasant, sympathetic, always ready and willing. The patient patients will really appreciate her. Phyllis Frye—All the unique and latest fashions and fads in Paris will be created by Phyl. We of the Senior class will be visiting her Fashion Salon sometime in the near future. Nina Stinchcomb—She will be visiting in the far corners of the earth trying to build up the social conditions of all mankind. With her cheery smile she’ll be welcomed by everyone at whatever she attempts. Peggy Hevesy—To be a Cadet Nurse is her ambition. We’re expecting all her men patients to obey her powerful command. We are betting she’ll do all right at it too. Emmalou Spiesman—We foresee that Emmalou will be doing her part in the war effort by working in a defense plant. Sweet but retiring—We know the man she gets will be a lucky one. Erma Norris—We think Erma will devote part of her life to the nursing profession—and the other to keeping the home fires burning. The more the merrier!” is her motto and success is her aim. Ann Lefelhoc—Our future legislator will see that women continue to have their rights. She’ll bring renown to P.H.S. through her successful efforts for post war plans. Joyce Coppock—She likes to cook as well as she does eat, so we Seniors hope some day to be eating in her restaurant. Her special for the day will be—Escalloped Oysters and Blueberry Pie. The first day of the freshmen year? What we didn’t do? Surprise! Surprise!” we shouted to our sophomore home room teacher, Mr. Skriletz, at a pot-luck supper party we had for him. The can-can” dancers of 1941! Long dresses, big hats, high heeled shoes and hairy legs with the dainty 1-2 step, attracted people to our freshman show at the Carnival. There was a strong lady with her muscles of pillows and the fortune teller with her crystal ball. Who could ever forget a ride down Main St. in mid-winter in AverilPs old Ford? Did we forget something—our stomachs, perhaps? Who ever ate all of Mr. Skriletz’s sandwiches which mysteriously turned out to be bricks? What senior physics student could forget experimenting with ice cubes? (Mr. Stirm won’t forget either.) Hallowe’en 1943! A lot of letters were stamped at this Hallowe’en party. Wet seats, cold feet, snow faces, and red ears! Sounds like one of those bob-sled rides. Why would Nina rather walk than ride? The football banquet 1944. Ray and Ezra got gold footballs for their good work during football season. Why don’t you wear them, boys? Mistletoe and all it suggests! This appeared over the doorway periodically every December. As seniors, the boys tried to catch our Miss West. Did they succeed—Well? A sign of spring came to us as juniors when all the girls appeared in pigtails with bright ribbons attached. Ann Lefelhoc, beautifully arrayed in a white gown, with Nina Stinch-comb and Lois Green as attendants, was crowned Queen of the Firemen’s Ball for 1945. The junior and senior years at the Christmas Luncheon when all accidentally received two dishes of cake and ice cream? How did Jr. do it with his mother facing him at the next table? You’re on stage!” a familiar cry of Mrs. Few, our speech class teacher, when all the students were everywhere but on stage? Who could forget the big night? Chocolate cake, and sighs of relief followed. Erma loved jumping hurdles in gym class, or should I say knocking them down? Coach’s favorite sandwiches are paper with mayonnaise and lettuce? Varsity club boys know he has a tough stomach. The spaghetti feast party that the speech class never had? The demonstration on how to cook and Emma Lou’s famous statement— If they don’t fit in little pans put them in big pans and if they don’t fit in big pans put them in little ones”? That day in 1943 when the upper hall was filled with the music of Lay That Pistol Down Babe” and other renditions of the American history class while teacher was absent from the room? Fifteen minutes in detention hall just for chewing a half stick of Juicy Fruit?
