(9ur (Scrap Won't be long till our high school days are over. Just for old times' sake, let s look through our scrap- book. So much has happened in the past four years. Here we are as freshies. Remember our initia- tion? Oh, here's that picture of Jim and Bev, all decked out —dresses backwards, pant legs rolled up, and all; Jim doesn't seem too fond of that doll, does he? There are the scenes taken from our two operet- tas, Bridget O'Harrigan and Margie Goes Modern. Remember how proud we were ot Delpha and Margie, stars in these operettas. There's Helen Ridder in her formal at the Hammond organ Just tv'i v—she is probably accompanying the Heavenly Choir on a more beautiful organ now. And here s a picture of the first dance we sponsored. It's easy to spot the freshmen. Our class officers—-Gerry Newberry. Donal- deen Vinton, Delpha Wetzler, and Margie Masek— headed the committees. Everybody said it was a huge success. Too bad we don't have a picture of our reception into the Sodality. On that happy day twenty-seven of us became Children of Mary. These must be the sophomore pictures. There's Marcelline Thompson and George Reubenthaller, our king and queen of hearts, and Verna, our door prize winner. Remember all the troubles Delpha had with the crown? Isn't that a picture of Reverend Mother Ignaoe? Yes, she is our Sister's Superior General from Europe. We entertained her and her companions with the cantata, America The Beautiful. Here is a rather stiff picture of our class officers—Don LeFave, John Walters, Joe Koehnke, and Sharon Henderson. Upperclassmen now! Whew! Remember the foot- ball dance and Betty McGinley, our queen? This is a good picture of her with Prince Paul Dietlein and Princess Rosalie Vinton. Look, our cantata pictures— Evangeline. The girls look so pretty in their formals. Ah, here! our class rings! December 15! That was a red letter day in our young lives. Every class says its rings are best; but, of course, we know ours are! Too bad Delpha was absent when Mr. Worley took this picture of our Junior Class officers. Madeline, Don LeFave, and Joe Koehnke look like they just heard a good joke. Here's that snap of Father Sebas- tian. Remember what a wonderful retreat master he was. Aren't these pictures of our class play, Judy Esquire, good? Look at John's and Sharon's regalia! Do you recall how the audience roared when Jim's moustache fell off? Remember delicate, little Georgie Chiggerson. That was Don LeFave who left us to attend Creighton University. Here's a picture taken as Jim was presenting a dozen roses to Sister Electa, our director. Will you ever forget our County Govern- ment Rally! Donna really looks like she is putting her point across. Remember how much fun we had campaigning! Our prom, Swing With The Stars, seems to occupy this page. It was really a wonderful night—the Wanderers from Chadron, the beautiful decorations, the formals, and that delicious chicken. Seniors—at last!! Sister Doloretta who saw us graduate from the eighth grade is with us again when we take our final step Now here's a snap of our Hello Hop —isn't that John Walters at the mike? He, Margie, Sharon, and Paul introduced each freshie. There's one of our initiation picnic at the park—weren't the freshies good sports? There will never be another Argo ! These pictures of the Home- coming are really good. Donna made a fine queen. There's that picture of the Alumni Dance with some of the old folks gathered 'round the new jute box. Perhaps, this is a good time to thank those who helped v pay for it. We surely appreciate it. Here's a snap of our retreat master, Father Pelster from Bayard. Remember his wonderful meditation, Christ, The Per- fect Friend. Gee, remember all the fun the basket- ball games were, especially Harrison, Scottsbluff. and McGrew. Here's a picture of our coaches, Bill Bix and Paul Kunzman. Remember the Queen of Hearts Dance. Here are several of the pictures taken at it; I like the one of Margie breaking through the cello- phane heart and the one of her and Johnny gliding across the floor to the rhythm of There's A Lonely Little Robin. Look here are the pictures we had taken in February with our caps and gowns. Bev looks so happy I'm afraid she might start to fly! Our scrapbook would not be complete without this picture of Pat's Model A. Remember all the gas he burned up taking the male population home at noon? How did they all squeeze in that rumble seat? Here are the individual snaps of our Senior Class Officers—John Walters, Madeline Rock, Joe Koehnke, and Delpha Wetzler. During the next few months we'll be getting loads of other good pictures to fill our scrapbook—the an- nual, class play, parties, prom and banquet, sneak day, commencement and so many other things. They will complete the final chapter of our high school days—suppose we'll have to start a new scrapbook for the next chapter. Page 10
