V H L U M H X X I PUBLISHED Hy THE MIRAGE STAFF 1955 HUSKIN HIGH SCHHIIL Hickman Mills, Missouri F0llllW0llll Turning through the pages of the i955 Mirage, you will recall the many events of the year: meetagain the faculty, administration, and student body: and see the growth of the school, not onlyin enrollment, but in quality ofwork as well Though our halls and classrooms were overcrowded, we managed to keep the spirit of our school alive with our many activities and adventures. We of the Mirage Staff invite you to ioi n us in re-living those experiences. Z I Mg V':k Km 5-,,g.q , ,, , - I yi? . , I 2, M ,, qp.

With the phenomenal growth in residential housing and the increased enrol l ment ofover 1200 the past two years it seems indeed a miracle has been performed . The proiected enrollment by 1961 will run near 6,000. This means, of course, that many adjustments will have to be mode, notonly in the construction of buildings but in the type ofeducational program to fit the needs of the boys and girls who comprise thisincrease. Whileit is a distinction to be favored with thisinflux, still we hope to be ableto maintainour individuality. Naturally, with such a growth as this, we wi ll be able to offer a much more diversified type of curriculum, but it is our hope that our school may always maintain the humbleness of spirit that has made Ruskin great.

All four yea rs are brimming over with pleasant memories. to re- mind you of only a few, we must begin with the freshman skating party. A good time at the Blue Ridge skating rink followed a weiner roast in the picnic park. One of the best assemblies of that yea r was the one we gave which was a fast-moving variety V show. As sophomores, we planned a sock party for the entire school. Everyone was re- quired to check their shoes at the door. Many danced, while others participatedin games. ln November of our junior year, we won new laurels with our presentation of the three-act comedy, Men Are Like Streetcars. Later we sponsored a French dance. The crowd enjoyed the Parisian atmosphere, which was created by the French waitresses, the can-can dancers, and the featured soloists. During the winter we had many paper drives andwe managed the food stand at the ball games. .Through these activities we raised money for the iunior-senior prom, which we hoped to make the best prom ever given at Ruskin. How vivid is our memory of that May evening! The dining-room and ballroom of the Hillcrest Country Club had bee n transformed i nto oriental gardens where we feted our guests, and dined, and danced to the music of Billy Glenn's band. It proved a gratifying climax For our iunior year. The last year of school, for many of us, has now arrived. In the fall we were host to the iuniors at the annual junior-senior picnic, held at Swope Park. Clash day, skip day, hobo day, another prom--even commencement--will soon be memories. We seniors are proud ofour achievements. Many of us have taken part in district and state contests during our four years at Ruskinand have helped to make our school one of the finest. Yes, we are proud of our class and of the part we have taken in the growth of our school . 8 ff- ' '- ' H- . N -Q, . ,..

Groups Win Acclaim Since Mr. Jack Overbeycame here in 1950, the music department has shown a steady growth. Perhaps the largest growth has occurred in the band, which has increased from the 27 players of 5 years ago to the 67 of today. The chorus, which has always been large, now consists of T20 members, and a newly organized freshman and sophomore girls' glee club has an additional membership of seventy. lAs a service to the school, the latter group decorated all the rooms for Christmas, . T ln the l954districtmusic contests atWarrens- burg, large and small groups received excellent ratings. They continued to win acclaim later in the state contests at Columbia where the boys' and girls' glee clubs were given excellent ratings and the band and the chorus were judged superior. The chorus was first heard this year at their annual Christmas Vesper service. In January, sixty music students accepted an invitation to sing for the State Music Teachers' Convention at Columbia. The band presented a concert in February, afterwards repeating some of the selections at an assembly. Spring events included the music carnival, participation in music contests, and appearances at both baccalaureate and commencement services. The annex, built in 1950, houses the music department, lunch room, and shop, ...v- ,.r' l,,a.w wwe-xi , ,.,, ,.f'ljQ..ff 'ff,,,f:' ,. .,,., XA-jg., , .,...-e--' .,.e-f ,,-- H f ,I ,,,,.s,x, ,sf ff , , M , wr H1 ,. - Qi f f.,s , .weve as I x M X H - -us. 3: , X Q , ,.,.
