A school is more than simply a building or two, housing laboratories, classrooms, and shops. It is the students who put life into these buildings, it is the instructors who try to inspire students toward high goals, it is the administration that coordinates the whole. But above the material ingredients is an elusive something, an intangible spirit that pervades all and grips almost all students to bring them trooping back even after half a century to live again the happy, teen-age days and see a- gain the comrades of other days... This is where the School Yearbook comes in. Between the covers of this book you will see yourself, your friends, your school as they were in 1957-58... It was a good year in Sabetha High School, and we have tried to record it for you in pictures and story. These lives and these times make one link in your chain of memories... We have tried; here it is; we hope you like it. The SABETHA BLUE JAY I 2 Dedication We the Senior class of 1958 proudly dedicate this annual to Superintendent and Mrs. Unruh. This couple have not only served the school and com- munity remarkably well but they have contributed individu- ally also. Mrs. Unruh is a top notch teacher who can always make math make sense. She is fair but firm and has a saving sense of humor. Mr. Unruh is noted for his willingness to help with any student's problems from physics to philosophy. He never fails to see our side of the s i tuat ion and helps us to seethe other side. 3 MR. LUTHER CLARK MR. CHARLES AESCHUMAN MRS. DORIS PORTER MR. MELVIN WENGER These teachers are hopeful that among the things you have learned are some qualities not listed as such in any as- signment. First, that you have acquired some discipline, both men- tal and physical; that you can have any good thing you want in this fair wide world if you are willing to work hard enough for it. Second, that if the advantage of a college education is yours, you will realize that it is an advantage, and because you have it, you must serve your fellowman who may be less fortunate. Finally, that the ideals you have learned at home and at school have crystallized into a working philosophy; the most important thing about any person is the standard by which he lives. MR. JOHNSON People ■ MR. NORBURT PIERSON MR. RUBEN LEHMANN STANLEY BEANS DR. JOHN STONE MR. NORRIS lORRIS MISS ROBINSON YYleet the Stafif} The Yearbook staff has been the English IV class, since there was no regular period for annual work as has been com- mon in the past, except the regular class period. Working after school often conflicted with partime jobs, and sometime with our pleasure; so the work was put off or left to someone else, until finally the deadline passed, and we were in the red as far as time was concerned. So everyone or anyone was pressed into service. The sponsor is grateful for the service of underclassmen, teach- ers, administrators, and the publishers, Myers and Company of Topeka, for their patience and co-operation. Errol Landman gave up a course to do the editor's job; Ronny Payne was a loyal assistant; Elton Aberle and Virginia Lichty took the subscriptions; Janis Wittmer was art editor; Ernie Hartman and Ronnie Bennett helped with the photogra- phy. All members of English IV, including these having spe- cial tasks, made up pages, wrote copy, or did typing. They are all in these pictures. SENIORS Sr? r.,z a£V .«J8S ELTON ABERLE Is valedictorian of his class. His ex- cels as a leader and yet has time for fun. ORVILLE BAILEY, known as Junior, ducks his head and - plows Into anything, be it on the gridiron or just another task. ROY fi .MOTT is a quiet, hardworking newspaper boy. He is no quitter and no one ever heard him complain. ERNIE HARTMAN, the tall guy with a ready grin, hasn't set the academic world on fire, but he does know his way around a basketball court. Seniona RICHARD BASKETT, known as Rich” was one of the busiest students. He has two problems: girls and money. RONNIE BENNETT, Mayor of Teentown and one of the most popular boys in the class, always has a small grin for everyone. KAY HATZ, she reveals herself only to her friends; but she has a ready smile or a friendly word for everyone. type, he devoted his time to being an excellent student with supreme success. VIRGINIA UCHTY, little Miss Sunshine personified, is a part of every activity-she excelled in each. JUDY HUMPHREY, the girl we call on when some- thing for a program in the line of music is needed. With a gay smile she is ready. JOHNNY JACKSON, a tall slender lad with a red tint in his hair, is Johnny. He's loyal to both his job and his activities. GERALDINE McKEE gains friends easily and loses none. Her laughter ringing through the halls will be missed. JOHN McKEE has his heart in farming. He is al- ways on the job but watches so as not to overwork. JUDY LORTSCHER, better known as Jude will ever evoke the answer, You bet I knew her, a top notch gal. Senior BARBARA MOSIMAN never has much to say, but when she does, her soft voice and winning smile make it well worthwhile. KAREN NEWLIN is dependable, industrious--her zest for doing never seems to lag. What more could a teacher ask? ROGER POPKESS could have more success in the classroom, but for one obstacle...girls! DONNA PORTER, a woman’s heart is like the moon-always changing, but there's always a man in it. RONNY PAYNE, car-crazy describes him. He occasionally takes time to study, but mostly he thinks in terms of automobiles. LARRY PARLI usually presents a serious mien. He is easy to live with and cooperative. RAYMOND RALSTON is our biggest, little man, al- ways willing to lend a hand. He has a hi for everyone. JANIECE SCHMIDT left us for the state where the tall corn grows. Teachers, everybody missed her. JEANNE SHAW is always willing to do any task she is asked to do, and she does everything well. SALLY RALSTON, school activities kept her on the hop, but not her studies. Rightly so, she was our campus queen. ANDREA ROKEY, can be persuaded by a few words to give her opinion on anything. She is a leader in anything she undertakes. LARRY STRAHM s studies were almost secondary. He spent much of his time customizing and hop- ping up his '53 Ford. WAYNE STRAHM is a neat, hardworking student. He is friendly and does his part whenever there is work to be done. CARROL STALCUP knows his science and never turns down an opportunity to argue about it. He likes his jokes. NANCY TULLOCH was one of us only one year, but it didn’t take us that long to learn to admire her and to like her. VIRGIL W1LTZ is a quiet ’guy”, easy to live with and consistently industrious. If he knows an answer, he says so; he never pretends. BENNY WYSONG’s interests include gals and sports-both of which he takes in stride. He came to us from Topeka High last year. JANIS WITTMER, Better late than never, is her slogan. Her enthusiasm is contagious, as is her smile. DANA McKENNEY is a speedster of the first order- on the cinder track. His schoolwork doesn’t worry him. 12 CLASS OFFICERS Elton Aberle..................President Janis Wittmer . . .

OJ the Co-Champa Our co-champion football team showed its worthiness of the title by the everlasting de- sire and spirit of each boy to win. It was a successful season with a 5-2-1 record; and had the flu not struck over half the team, the Blue Jays may have been undefeated. The ever-stressed sportsmanship of Coaches Lee Norris and Ray Harris along with the loyal support from the side lines compelled the boys to work together and give their best at all times.

That two bands, senior and junior, next year will be potentially sixty and sixty-five strong, respectively? That the municipal band owns some $1400. in band instruments? The Sabetha band is different in its method of operation to most Kansas High School bands: it has a contract with the city council, and a small city tax provides the free lessons and the band instruments. In return the band makes the required num- ber of public performances. The governing body of the parent-band organization con- sists of Mesdames Joe Locher, Wendall Tyler and Kahn Lorts- cher, C.G. Robinson, Melvin Wenger, the superintendent of schools, and Lewis Johnson. The band furnished programs for Sabetha's Creamery Day, the Topeka State Fair, KU band day, the football games, the Sabetha and Hiawatha Halloween parades, and a public con- cert. The band had a part in the Big Six Music Festival and the regional festival at Topeka, besides furnishing entertain- ment for school plays and other programs. The band fund bought choir robes which are used by sing- ing groups at church services or programs.

Dinner was served by girls and boys in oriental kimonas and obi. While we ate the dinner prepared by the junior mothers, we could see the lovely foun- tain, tea house, wishing well, flowers, and trees which helped set the oriental atmos- phere for the theme, Sayonara. Afterward everybody danced to the music of the Starliters. Boys and girls in cttp and gown! And only a few minutes from a high school diploma. There are no beaming faces.
