Henrietta Dudley and her hen-pecked husband Jim Dudley ran the resort. Their daughter, Sally, managed to think up most of the hilarious escap- ades. Barbarq-Young, Sally's cousin was romantically involved with Ber- tram Weeks, a small, meek young man. Barbara's father, Mr. Young was under the impression that Bertie was a real he-man from the wild west. The plot thickened when Mr. Young visited the ranch. Barbara and Sally tried to make Bertie a hero. Sam Banks, a hired hand, Bill Hicks, a Manhattan cowboy, and Rain-In-The-Face, an Indian, added much of the local color for the two tenderfoots from the east, Jane Christian and Bessie Palmer. Hulda was the Swedish maid. At the very end of the play, Bertie saved than all from a rattlesnake and proved himself a real hero.

Miss Harding and Mr. Barry were our sponsors and were very heloful in getting us started during the first year. The seniors lost no time in initiating some of us, and after the formal initiation e were really a Dart of the high school During our sophomore year Shirley ColTman, Luella Boor, and Viola Ploeger entered our midst. This year, Mrs. Rohlfing and Mr. Williams were our sponsors. We watched the new freshman come in and felt old and very wise because we were now sophomores. At the beginning of our Junior year we welcomed two new classmates, Marcella Manhart and Margaret Schuck. Our Junior year was a very busy one, we ordered our rings, sponsored the annual junior and senior banquet and put on a play. Our banquet was very colorful and gay, the theme being Gay Fiesta , and we spent many working hours planning and decorating the gym. We hired a small dance band from Colby to supoly the music for the dance after the banouet. Although the crepe caper ceiling started to fall down during Mr. Laird's speech, we received many condiments on our transformed gym. The play Grandad Steps Out was our well-Dresented comedy. The Cdst consisted of Monty Smith, Leona Rail, Karen Twell. Don Currier, dlma Walden, hirley Coffman, Donna Lee Currier, Bob Cooper, Junior Lacey, Dennis Slaven, Pat Jennings, Dorothy Reitcheck, and Margaret Schuck. We all enj.yed ourselves at the day practices, and unknown to our sponsors, Mrs. Schrock and Mr Bartel we sirned our names in red and green Daint on the side wall of the stage. We tried to out them on the back of the curtain, but it was so full of names we decided to try something new. After our art work was discovered a few d us, with the help of white paint, removed all traces of our autographs. Lyle Sample and Luella Boor entered the class for their senior year. Luella had attended her junior year at Ellis. Betty Breeden.left us at the end of the first semester. Our class rings had a ruby stone tooped by the traditional crest. They arrived soon after school started and we were very proud of .them. Our senior play, Wanted A Hero was definitely a credit to the whole class. Don Currier, Dennis Slaven, Karen Twell, Shirfey .Coffman, Viola Ploeger, Marcella Manhart, Lloyd Adams, Dorothy Reitcheck, Bob Cooper, Lyle Sample, Duane Duncanson and Helen Jones were the members of the cast. We were entertained by the juniors at the Junior-Senior Banouet ■on April 21 in the midst of a beautiful Hawaiian setting. We had a wonderful time and will always remember it as one of the outstanding niehts of the vear. On April 19 we took a day off and went to Hays to visit the coll- ege and to attend a few meetings about various vocations. It was educational and everyone enjoyed themselves. baccalaureate services were held the evening of May 20. Our speaker Mr. Woolard, gave a very interesting talk. Class night was May 21. The class will, proprecey, and history was read and a short program was p-iven. The long awaited Graduation night was May 22, Mr. Deane was the main speaker of the evening. He had also been the speaker at the grade school graduation of our class in 1947• as a reward for the four, long, ward years of work and Play, we started the mornii.g after graduation for five wonderful days at the Black Hills of South Dakota. As we all piled on the bus with our sponsors,Mrs. Schrock and Mr. Bartel and left the school we knew that we had truly completed our igh school education.

As I was driving down the great metrocolis of Hoxie, I met Viola Ploeger Scott, who just returned from Colorado Springs, with her two sets of twins and ragged husband. Donna Lee Currier has a profession of teaching Physical Education under the professorship of her husband Junior Lacey at our dear old Alma Mater. Helen Jones and Doris Rowlison have set up a beauty salon in Hoxie, after their first million they will contribute a small fortune for a new commercial room. Lirlp Sample has taken over Monty Dillon's scrap iron business. Shirley Coffman has a part time Job as editor for the Hoxie Sen- tinel and keeping house for her husband Kenny Kahle. As I was walking around I saw Lloyd Adams and Gerald Karnes having a very heated conversation. They were discussing The latest thing in milk cows, and Do you think the crops will be good this year? Pat Jennings has set up housekeeping in a fox hole as she can't con- vert Darrel Follis back to civilian life. Leona Rail is still around Hoxie, she is happily married to her husband, Harold Boor, and is busy raising little Boors. Marcella Manhart is now employed as housekeeper for her husband Floyd Edgington in Wichita. Floyd Adams is now living happily with his wife, Pat and their five children, on his father'sfarm. Ernest Gelst, now a farmer, and Henry Ochs, owner of his fathers liauor store appreciate Dwight Randolphs pool hall for recreation. Karen Twell is a busy interior decorator and draws pictures of her fiancee, Benny Taylor when she has time. Wilma Walden who is now a T.W.A. Airline Stewardness told me that on one of her stopovers in New York, had gone to see Tuffy Duncanson, who was appearing at Madison Square Garden, and now holds the title of the Wrestling Champion of the World. I ran into Barbara Bange and Elta Detjen who now own the 3 D Chain Stores, they were still unmarried but were still hoping sone handsome man would pop the question. And there stood Monty Smith talking and raving like a made-man. After listening to his speech, I gathered that he was running for Con- gress. After Monty's speech it was announced that the Governor of Kan- sas was to speak and who should walk across the stage, but the distin guished Dennis Slaven, who after standing there for five minutes dis- covered he had forgotten his notes. Dee Follis is busily engaged in the selling of cowboy boots and horses ,is his sideline. Irene Beach is still playing second fiddle. Dale Jacob now working for H. W. Deane, has finally convinced Luella Boor to take the drastic step, she is now driving the old Chevvy around town. Hazel Hilburn is now owner of the Hoxie Grill with her husband, Don Engleman as proprietor, Dolores and Dorothy Reitcheck are now working as professional nurses at Colby Hospital. And they are still single. Don Kemper has taken over his fathers farm near Lucerne.

And that was the scene in the S. C. H. 3, gym on Saturday, April 21, when the juniors entertained the seniors, faculty, and school board with the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, As one entered the banquet hall (alias gym) soft music was to be heard in the distance, off by the sandy beach to the south. Palm trees, volcanoes, and a Hawaiian couple (Pat Russell and Ray LaRuer seated on the rocks comoleted the view of the sea. Around the room was a brilliant wall of red, brown and yellow, and overhead was soft cover of blue, dotted with shimmering stars. To the north of the candlelit room behind the speakers table was a oatio, used as the stage, with its palm tree, sea shells, and lotus blossoms. The table's were decorated with miniature palm trees, candles, and flowers including roses, the Denior class flower. At each place were memory books and the traditional leis. The menu consisted of an aopetizsr called Tropical Dream and the main course of Game of the J.ungle, Golden Dreams, Diced Bamboo in Coconut Cup, Lilikoi and Papa, and Coconut Milk, Desert was coconut pie and the Clam Shell nut cups contained Seach pebbles. Serving this delightful meal were twelve sophomores, dressed in native costume.
