1958 QENIOIZ OLAQQ I-IIQTOPJY On a sunny day in September, 1946, twenty-eight excited kids began their school career. Mrs. Alford was our first teacher. This was the year we ran two blocks during a fire drill. In the second grade we were under the guidance of Mrs. Hart. Our greatest thrill was riding to the cafeteria in the school bus. ln 1948 we started our third and final year in the old Magga Kilmer building. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Parther was the teachers. This year Carol Mills beat all of us in sack races. This year we moved to our new school building. Mrs. Sharp and Mr. Atkinson were our fourth grade teachers. Next we moved into the fifth grade room under the supervision of Mrs. Sturges and Mrs. Peabody. This was the year the boys decided that girls weren't monsters after all. This was our last year in the grade school building. Mrs. Peabody and Mr. Butterfield were our guiding leaders. lust as we became the big shots of the grade school, we were moved to the high school building to become the runts . Mrs. Shup and Mrs. Casement were our teachers. Under the guidance of Miss Trower and Mrs. Atkinson we spent our last year in Jr. I-ligh. We started our high school career wearing short dresses and obeying the commands of the Seniors. Our sponsors were Mr. Campbell and Mr. Lawson. We went on a trip to Independence. Our Sophomore year Mrs. Scovell and Mr. Lawson were our sponsors. We took an exciting trip to Coffeyville. Lou Newcomb was elected cheerleader from our class. We entered a very busy Junior year under the sponsorship of Mrs. Dalton and Mr. Downing. Sue Jones, Carol Mills, and Judy Dickens were cheerleaders this year. We gave the Senior a lovely banquet April Showers . We presented a wild west play entitled Desperate Ambrose' . We ended our year by spending a day in Wichita. The time has come to close our school life at dear old Sedan High School. Mrs. Abboud and Mr. Lowe were our sponsors. We gave the Freshman a real rough initiation. Carol Mills was elected Basketball Queen from our class. Sue Jones and Gary House reigned as Trident King and Queen. The Glance at the Year in the pages of this book gives only an infinitesimal part of the activities, the study, and the spirit of S.H.S. The thrill of winning the exciting Cedar Vale football game, the Trident party, the play, the music contests, the hard-eamed A's, and the fellowship with students and teachers--all will be remembered as the Seniors close their lockers for the last time and look forward to the future. But school was not always pleasant. There were those days when the questions on a test seemed impossible, and failing to have an assignment seemed almost unbearable. Yes, our school life had its ups and downs , but the ups far out numbered the downs and pleasant memories overshadow the worries and heartaches. For the Seniors who have come to the end of school for the last time, S. H. S. is a memory they will always hold dearly. For the other classes the doors of the high school will open again for another whirl of activities, studies, and fun. The close of the school year brings on the happily contracted disease, spring fever. But not for the busy Seniors who are out on their own. The school life of the Seniors has passed but cannot be forgotten, at least not to those who had a part in its history. Those graduating who started to school together in the first grade are: Gary Knackstedt, Alan Crawford, Karen Mills, Renee Cummings, Carol Mills, Tommy Baker, Leon Wallace, Martha Butterfield, Judy Dickens, Bill Sprague, Myrna Jones, Karen Bruner, Bob Powers, Judy Windsor, Sandra Mills, Tim Chrisman, Helen Irick, Ronnie McCann, Philip Hopkins, and Dudley Foster.
