% THE MEMO 1940 COMPILED BY THE 38TH SENIOR CLASS of Stanford High School % Tri r. r-r '7r 7f7 7r SS7fS rsr 7TSr77 777T77ffr72VL FOREWORD We, the Memo staff, have earnestly tried to portray interestingly and accurately an account of the work and activities of Stanford High. We hope it will imprint upon the minds of those who are about to graduate the memories of invaluable friendships and associations, and will help those of all classes remember their happy high school days. DEDICATION Because the new teachers, Miss Evans, and Mr. Oster, have been so willing to cooperate with us seniors in everything we have attempted this year, we want to dedicate this book to them as our token of appreciation. 1 1 SUPERINTENDENT J.

Only six of the thirty-one that are graduating started out that year—Ann Roberta Beazley, George Hail, Jr., Tommye Hill, Alfred Pettus, Katherine Peavyhouse, and Mattie Mae Brent. We entered the third grade under Miss Wearen, but she didn’t stay with us long because of illness and Miss Elsie Coleman took over the class. Barbara Nunnelly, our little red headed,freckled face member, joined us, coming from the nice sunshine of Florida. The north also sent us two members, Wicky Pence and kinky headed Harold Koenig, both coming from Ohio. In the fifth grade Betty Ruth Fields joined us. It seems she liked us so well that she skipped the fourth grade to be with us. We moved on to the sixth grade and Lily Dunaway, coming from Mt. Moriah, was waiting to join us. The seventh year of our school life saw our class grow somewhat. Lloyd Baxter, Howard Conley, Eddie Harris, and Ralph Hester decided they would stay in the seventh grade two years and join our class. In the eighth grade Walter Holtzclaw waited for us. Walter thought he was smart when he got by the seventh grade and the other boys failed, but he just wasn’t smart enough to make the eighth grade in one year. In the middle of our eighth year Joe Givens came to our class from Hubble. Barbara Nunnelly left us in the fifth grade to take a trip to California, but she just couldn’t stay away. She took her place with us again in the eighth grade. Slowly we were growing up. Now ready to enter high school. The Freshman vear we only had one member to come to our midst. Mildred Greer came to us from Danville. We were still moving on. Sophomores now, with several new members taking a place in our class. Talitha Berlepp came to us from McKinney, Nancy Pence from Hustonville, Elmer Anderson stayed in the Sophomore class two years in order to be with us. Lena Turner, who had been out of school several years, came back as a Sophomore with our class. 2iyj 7J 7Jj;7V:77 777777Z7T777777777-777777777777777r777777T7 r7777777777777777777777777777777777777777ZZSi Our Junior year saw several new class mates. Joy Reynolds from Highland. Willie Doan got tired of school and stayed out two years, but joined us when we were Juniors. Wilbur Johnson came from Kings Mountain and John Baker, a North Carolina product, entered our Junior class. It is here at last! Our Senior year, which we have looked forward to for years. Juanita Garner must have heard about us in Hustonville, because she has come to graduate with us, and Billy Fields, Bennie Curlis, and Lee Cass Elder increased our enrollment to thirty-one. The Seniors of 1937 can no longer say that they are the largest class to graduate from Stanford High School, because we have just as many as they did. CLASS PROPHECY The old fortune teller laid the cards just so, and this is the way she foretold the interesting events the future holds in store for the memorable class of 1940. Ah!—I see a poster on a telephone pole. What does it say? Why, it says “Eddie Harris for Representative.” I wonder if he will get the votes of his classmates who were such staunch democrats or if Katherine Peavyhouse, the old maid school marm, and Elmer Anderson, the model farmer, will be the only ones who’ll vote for him. Surely he can depend on his wife, Lena. Just across the street hangs a sign which reads “Paddle Bowling Alley.” Yes, you guessed it; it is run by Paddle Hester. Inside I see Joe Givens who smells like gasoline because he runs the Gulf station where he used to work, and Billy Fields who has worked for Baughman’s Mill since he was a senior in Stanford High. I can tell by the cards that the June 25th issue of the Interior Journal will be practically full of accounts of weddings. “Who? Well, whom do you suppose? Pence-Gilliland, Nunnelly-Baxter, and Hill-Gilliland. Mattie Mae Brent seems happier than most of the other girls working at the Goodall plant at Danville. Why? Well I certainly think she has a right to be happy. She has a diamond ring on the third finger of her left hand. Lily Dunaway is good in typing and shorthand in school; isn’t she? Ah!—yes, as I glance at the cards, I see her happily pecking away on a typewriter in a lawyer’s office. Just as she finishes the letter she is typing, in walks her high school friend, Joy Reynolds to tell Lily the news of her engagement. Lily only says, ‘You always were fond of Kings Mountain.’ 777777777777777777777777777: y7;jjz'7 777' f7S77777Z7Z77777Z2ZZZZ2ZZZ7S7777777777.T2Vi I can see that Willie Doan will be in a hospital for an appendicitis operation. He is thinking: For one time in my life I hate to get well; the nurses are pretty; Gee, they are swell! I can’t tell who all the nurses at the hospital are but two of them are Nancy Pence and Mildred Greer. I wonder if either of them could have anything to do with his thoughts. I see a figure on the Morgan doorstep. Yes, it is the same one which used to lurk there. Lavenia opens the door. Alfred holds a bouquet out toward her, and says, “Such a contrast, my dear.” The door slams, and it isn’t a windy day either. Such a tragic end to such a beautiful friendship! Bennie Curliss drives a car well; doesn’t he? I thought so. I can clearly see that he will be a taxi driver in the city of Stanford. Since Wilbur Johnson writes such good themes for English class in high school, the cards say he will be a noted writer. I can see the A. P. store. There is a sign, “John Baker, manager.” I see a nice looking young lady buying groceries. Mrs. Daily, whom you remember as Juanita Garner, seems to be trying to buy everything in the store. Your classmate, Walter Holtzclaw, certainly will make a good lawyer. The only difference in him now and when he becomes a lawyer is that when he is a lawyer he will get pay for arguing and while he is in high school he argues free to take up time in English class. His stenographer will be one of your classmates, too. Yes, Talitha is still as small and as cute as she ever was. There are two boys in your class who will be agriculture teachers. Those boys are George Hail and Bobby Bryan. I wonder if they will be as good as Mr. Brown is? Lee will have to go some if he becomes as good a coach as Mr. Noe is, but he says he is certainly going to try. I can see that the Senior play did a great deal for two of the cast. Betty Ruth and Berta have taken screen tests and as I look at the cards I can see that they are in Hollywood making a picture. I can see the most dignified boy of your class, Howard Conley, as he leans back in his big chair. Why, you should be proud of the fact that you graduated with him. He is now President of a bank in Lexington. The door opens, and in walks Harold Koenig, who wishes to deposit his week’s salary. Harold is the manager of the men’s department in a large clothing store.” When I placed a coin in her hand she took her cards and disappeared into her tent. 7 177777777777. 7777 77 g 7777777 7777777177777777777. r-j f t t f f r : CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and forty, having been taught all it i3 possible for our intelligent minds to grasp, make our last will, bequeathing our many talents to the future graduates of Stanford High School. To all our dear teachers we leave our notebooks, hoping they will close their eyes when they look through them, and with Mr. Embry is left the pleasant thought of being rid of bad rubbish. Among our treasures the most beloved of all is our teacher, Mrs. Cash. We know the Junior Class will appreciate our great gift and be like us—just one big happy family. Each member of the Senior Class has some tradition to hand down to the jolly juniors, gay young sophomores, or the verdant freshmen. Walter Sweeney Holtzclaw, president of the class, leaves his ability to argue with the teachers to Lavenia Morgan, who seems to be ready to do her part of it. Katherine Peavyhouse leaves her speaking ability to Adam Pence. Speak distinctly Adam, just as Katherine does. Bobby Bryan, our “blushing rose,” hopes Robert Lee Gooch will some day take on some color when he has been a bad boy. Lena Frances Turner donates her senior dignity to Mildred Hester, who could use some very nicely. Berta Beazley hopes Ada Vaughn Newland will have as much luck flirting with the boys as she has had. Since Sammy Swope is every girl's “Romeo” of Stanford High School, Wilbur Johnson wills him his ability to resist a girl’s smile, for they don’t always mean it. Lee Cass Elder hands Jim Kelly his easy-going way which has made many friends for him. Wickie Pence likes to keep office so she can talk to all the salesmen who come around. Lula Dean Tarkington, who is to carry on next year, is well on to her job. Bennie Curlis, taxi driver for the school, gives his uniform to Welby Bourne. It may not fit, Welby, but at least you’ll have the honor. Mattie Mae Brent says little but thinks much. Her sister, Jessie, should try this when she becomes a senior. (It’s much more dignified, Jessie.) Elmer Clay Anderson hopes Jack Metcalfe will get by as easily as he has with his day-dreaming during class. «ffiX7r 7i77rjz7zrrrt 2.ZZ2 T77TZ72 ZLTjrz7rr7Sfzmzr7rnzzzz77Z7 j jSA Mildred Greer lives in the country, so she has more time to study. That should give Betty Wilson an idea on how to make better grades. Howard Conley leaves his pleasing personality to Farnum Reynolds. Nancy Pence is a little girl with a big heart, who makes everyone love her. This tradition is left to any girl who can get the secret formula from Nancy. r I George Hail adds his one big freckle to Adrian Gooch’s “school-girl” complexion. Talitha Berlepp seems to have a secret on keeping slim. Marjorie Morris may acquire Talitha’s small waistline. When John Baker becomes manager of the A. P. store he expects Earl Law-son to take his place as “favorite clerk.” Junanita Garner leaves her attraction for the boys to any new student of our school. Eddie Harris bequeaths his cool temper to Bobby Walker. Barbara Nun-nelly leaves her sunny disposition to Virginia Rigsby. Barbara says, “It helped me get my man; I hope it does the same for you, Virginia.” Joy Mae Reynolds’ ability to write poetry goes to anyone who can make things sound as ridiculous and funny as she can. Willie Doan wills his love for all the pretty girls to John Bruce Nevius, who has a touch of it. Betty Ruth Fields leaves her citizenship award to Thelma Wilson. Harold Koenig hopes any boy who gets a permanent can make the curls look as natural as his. Billy Fields hopes Charles Price won’t have to stay after school as much as he has. Elmer Lloyd Baxter gives his ability to make love to Cabell Francis. If Cabell is going to be a ladies’ man, he’ll need Lloyd’s talent. Alfred Pettus leaves his love for Lavenia to any boy who dares to take it. If anyone tries this he should eat plenty of spinach, for he’ll have Alfred to fight. Ralph Hester’s tradition to be handed to Jack Givens is that of drifting along, letting every day provide for itself. Lily Dunaway has always been able to carry on some sort of conversation, but seldom a sensible one. She hopes Juanita Young can graduate with this honor. Joe Givens leaves his ability for wisecracks to James Brown. Don’t give the teachers as much trouble, James. Tommye Hill wills Sue Gaunce her “tom-boy” actions. We think Sue can start where Tommye left off. To the world is left our store of knowledge and common sense, for which our teachers are responsible. We have found a place in the hearts of our school-mates, and we shall find a place in the hearts of all Americans. 00000000000000 000000000000000000000000 0 77 777777777777 7777 1 JUNIOR CLASS Officers: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Janitor CLASS ROLL Russell Blankenship Elizabeth Bailey James Brown Nina Brock Welby Bourne Sylvia Chasteen Robert Gooch Mildred Hester Jim Kelly Maxine Lewis Earl Lawson Marjorie Morris Robert McLean Lavenia Morgan John B.

We don’t remember how many were in the class at that time, but that doesn’t matter much because you’re probably not interested in statistics anyway. In fact, we aren’t sure how many are in the class this year. (As yet, Mr. Brown hasn’t been able to get us together at one time long enough to count noses.) We have been asked to make a report of what we have accomplished during the year. That’s easier said than done. Miss Evans says, “The Junior English Class is undoubtedly the most unusual class I have ever conducted.” (We haven’t been able to decide yet whether that is a compliment or otherwise.) We have spent most of the year worrying about finances. You know, it’s quite expensive entertaining the Seniors. To date we have earned $7.36 (by methods we can’t recall.) We had high hopes of taking the Seniors to Joyland. But alas! unless our bankroll does a little swelling it seems we'll have to take them on a hike to Hanging Fork. Our farewell message to the Seniors: Seniors, when you all have scattered to the far corners of the earth, we want you to keep a nice little warm spot in your hearts for us. We hope we have made your sojourn in high school more enjoyable. We’re going to miss your merry laughs and your noisy feet in the halls of dear ole S. H. S. next year. If we made a few pokes at you in the Junior Jabber, it was all in fun. We might even forgive you for bringing dead mice to Glee Club. We realize it will be quite a task filling your shoes next year, but we’ll try our best to do it. We’re going to practice up on our dignity all summer. We’re also going to be able to walk up and down steps so gracefully by September that even Mr. Embry will look on with approval. We’ll never forget you, Seniors. Please remember us.

Y x.x ■ ' ZZIZM. ATHLETICS Under the competent direction of Coach Hugh Davis Noe, Athletics has advanced considerably during the past year in Stanford High School. In football the team started the season as a class “C” team in the Central Kentucky Conference and ended the season as a class “A” team, having won five games, tied one, and lost two. Those lost either by graduation or by the eight semester ruling are Captain Lawson, fullback; Baxter, quarterback; Co-Captain Pettus, end; Bryan, center; Givens, halfback; and Hester, halfback. The 1940 football schedule is as follows: Sept. 20, Madison High, there; Sept. 27, Lawrenceburg, here; Oct. 4, Harrodsburg, there; Oct. 11, Carlisle, here; Oct. 18, Springfield, there; Oct. 25, Danville, there; Nov. 1, Bur-gin, here; and Nov. 8, Lancaster, here. In basketball the team also started as a class “C” team in the Conference and ended as a class “A” team, having won about two-thirds of its games. Those lost by graduation are Captain Baxter, Conley, Pettus, Johnson, and Bryan. We are proud to say that we now have in our possession the jug, which we won from Lancaster by beating them in football by a score of 7-6. We are also proud to have in our possession the basket ball keg, which was started by the Seniors of 1940 and we have kept by beating Lancaster 22-16 and 17-14 in basketball. The 1939-40 sports season was characterized by the sportsmanship shown both by the players and the spectators, and by an increased interest in sports, not only by the studets of Stanford High, but also by the people of Stanford. For the success of sports this past season, much credit is due Coach Noe, who expects even a better season next year. ' H y ' ' A y V hi r ( Yx r M r Y, r r f r - f f r4 1 F. F. A.

Bobby Bryan ..................... Willie Doan ............ Russell Blankenship .................... Walker Noe ............ G. A. Brown The Chapter started the year by winning third place in Livestock judging at the State Fair. At Berea last fall, we won first in Livestock judging and total number of points. A nice cup was given us at Crab Orchard this year for placing first in Livestock judging there. Then, as a final honor, we placed first in the Cumberland District F. F. A. Field Day held here in Stanford on May 6. For this, we received a beautiful cup. of which wre are duly proud. We have many plans to improve on our present standing for the coming year. We are losing several valuable members through graduation but hope to have as many or more Eighth Grade boys coming into the Chapter. ir.f 1 -U.iU.v ‘I- • . - -tr . 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 «; •i ! • :i THE MEMO STAFF Editor-in-Chief ............
