H, S. Where most of my lamin’ I got. And, as on down the Road of Life I go, A little tired oerhsos. and dull, I think of the teachers who tried so hard To oound knowledge In my thick young skull. I’ll always remember the peo meetings ,,rhere we kide hollered so loud To back uo our chamoions In basketball And football—my, we were proud i Especially will I remember the kids With whom I soent those golden years; The places we went, the things we saw, Then we had no time for tears. AhJ Well I remember the old Brookslde And Nick’s, where we kids used to go To get a coke when school wac out. Were all of us free then, oh, no i Up In the study hall I see a few With faces so lon ? and drawn; Because they did something they shouldn’t do, They stayed while the others were gone. Looking back, I wonder where Each of these kids is today; Are they rich or poor? Are they healthy and happy? Wherever they are, I'll wager they Haven’t forgotten you, T. C.

Kennedy J, L. Bundy .CLASS HISTORY The Freshman Class of 1943 entered T. C. H. S. with an enrollment of seventy-eight. However, ten of these had dropped out before the completion of the year. The greatest part of the class participated in various activities. The girls took part in G.A.A., Chorus, and Band; the boys preferred football and. basketball. We elected our class officers as follows; President, Bill Lear; Vice-President, Elvin Ashwill; Secretary-Treasurer, Earlena Davies; Student Council, Jim Victor. Our class advisers were Miss Deer and Miss Macy. In August of 1944 a body of sixty-three students entered as the Sophomore Class. This year we elected a new group for our officers. Jim Victor was our choice for President, and Janet Blomquest, Vice-President. Earlena Davies again was made Secretary-Treasurer, and Bill Lear represented the class as Student Council Member. 'We selected Mrs. Flack and Mr. Shrader to help us through the year as class advisers. The Junior year brought forth several highlights of our high school years. One of these was our Junior class play, Two Gentlemen and Verona, which proved that we had some classmates with dramatic ability. For officers we elected a group of hard working students who helped toward the success of the Junior-Senior Reception. Our President this year was Carl Simmons, and Shirley Waters, our Vice-President. Jim Victor filled the office of Secretary-Treasurer very well and Joe Morris, that of Student Council Member. Mr. Paul Johnson and Mr. Hanneken were our class advisers this year. The Reception was a big success, with Lee Homebrook's Orchestra. Our theme for decoratio s in the gym was Stardust. With that gleam of triumph in our eyes, fifty-seven of the Senior Class started on the last lap. The class of 47 always has been and alwaj s will be proud of its athletic members. They gained the title of Okaw Valley Champions not only in football, but also in basketball. They were a hard working group of boys who certainly deserved all the praise they received. Another main attraction in our Senior year was our class play, a three act comedy, Come Over to Our House. It was very successful, and was under the direction of Miss Grumbles. For our Class officers in our final year we again elected Carl Simmons, President, since he had done such an excellent job the preceding year. Jim Logan was elected Vice-President, and Maurice Martin, Secretary-Treasurer. Allyn Knoche was our worthy representative for Student Council. -Miss Magnusson and Miss Sluss were called upon by the Senior body to aid us as class advisers. Gail Trostle T . C. H.

Although they were one of the smallest teams In the conference, they were still the toughest to beat. They tied for the championship with our old basketball rival, Monticello. Another interesting factor in this year's play was the trlm-ing of another old rival, Newman, three times in a row. The consistent players on this year's five were: Captain Charley Hawkins, Frank Marler, Allyn Knoche, Charles Cec Sanderson, Dick Ware, Dale Waters, and Loren. Blaase. A lot of credit should be given to our second team,for It was they who helped a lot In making our fine first team. Conference games—-—Arthur-23, Tuscola-56 Galbreath was the big gun for Arthur keeping them in the game with his Ixng shots from about 25 or 30 feet out. They played on even terms the first half and then the Warriors pulled away to their first conference win. Arcola-22, Tuscola-49 The Warriors held them to no baskets for the first two minutes and then scored an easy victory over Areola for their second conference win. Oakland-30, Tuscola-63 Oakland led by Brown, their 5' forward who poured 14 points through the net to keep Oakland in the game the first quarter-----then Tuscola pulled away to their third conference win. Newman-25, Tuscola-34 Tuscola led all the way in this rame. They defeated one of the best teams in the conference. Villa Grove-33, Tuscola-57 The Warriors hitting well and plying agpod rebounding game defeated the Blue Devils easily. Montlcello-50, Tuscola-39 Monticello, led by their tall center, Clouser, proved too much for Tuscola. This was the Warriors' only conference loss of the season. Newman-25, Tuscola-26 The game was close all the way, the biggest lead being in the second quarter. The last quarter proved to be a battle royal with the Warriors better by one point. Sulllvan-36, Tuscola-39 The Warriors broke some kind of a record in this game by scoring only one basket in the first half, and were on the low side of a 19-9 score at the half. But, the Warriors roared in the second half to forge ahead to their seventh conference win against one loss. Cerro Gordo-28, Tuscola-43 The Warriors entered this game confident of the fact that they were still to be remembered in the race for the Okaw Valley Championship. The Warriors' stalling in the first quarter broke up the zone defense of the Broncs, and the excellent team-work of Tuscola proved too much for the Broncos. Monticello-44, Tuscola-49. Tuscola jumped to an early-lead over Monticello, and then traded them basket for basket, while keeping their ten point lead. The Sages rallied in the last four minutes and pulled to within five points of the Y arriors. This game put Tuscola in a first place tie with Monticello with two games remaining in the conference season. Arcola-46, Tuscola-57. Tuscola, worrying about their last tv.'o games were cautious in this game and won by 11 points. Villa Grove-24, Tuscola-36. The V.arriors had a cold night on their shots, but nevertheless they won the game and cinched a first place tie in the Okaw Valley.

And, although it w,os oast midnight, we all went to the nearest one’s home (which was Dori®') and talked over the good old days. In ca=e you’d like to know who we are, we'll tell you. You remember the blonde beauty who was the belle of the ball in her prime? ■'fell, Esrlena has just concluded her be=t novel, Forever Ember and is engaged to be married to a famous Hollywood producer. Now they Plan to produce together. And Doris, whose house we spoke of, Is now running a model agency for men. Miss Horsley married one of the models, and together they run the busines®. They are the proud parents of °everal little models. In her spare time, Doris solicits for the W. C. T. U. The third on?, Phyllis Benge, is now the famous Phyllis Benge, who has Just recently founded the Home For The Inane. She has been honored for many such ohilanthrooies, and is a noted benefactress. Nhlle Farlena and Doris talked over all their old beaus, Phyllis listened intently to Jim Logan's melodious orchestra, the Swingaroos. Mv, but he was smooth.' All of a sudden, there came a news flash— Ne interrupt this program to bring you the returns of the gubernatorial election in Missouri. Miss Mary F. Nichols, ex-trapeze artist, Just defeated Mr. Harry 3. Truman, ex- resident, for the office of Governor of Missouri. The broadcast was switched off, and once mere Maestro Logan's music was heard. Then whose swoony voice should come winging over the waves, but that of Gaylord Bohweighart. Then Doris aueried, Could that be our old schoolmate, Snowball? Phyllis replied, It must be, sounds like him. Then Earlena hastily rejoined, Nell, let's turn on the television and see, and scampered over and pu=hed one of the numerous button , and Mr. Snowball Schweighart's countenance came into view. What a sight for sore eyes. We hadn't seen him since hie cousin-in-law, Betty Decker Schweighart slipped on a banana peeling while,hurrying to take his and Bernard's lunch to them at the elevator in Pesotum, and fractured her left toe. That was 13 years ago. All of a =udden, out of the night, or morning, since it was around 2 a.m., there came the great wailing of the ambulance siren. Bo we rushed to the window', '.‘ nd peered into th£ darkness. At first we could see naught, but pretty soon we spied the ambulance racing to the scene of some accident. We hastily donned our wraps to go down to see Just what had happened. And can you imagine our surprise when we found out that Marvin Martin was the driver of the vehicle going to the rescue arv h s i j {aur 3 £aJ 'i tru? surgeon, all equipped with his hammer and saw and chisel. Behind them, in the back with the chloroform, antiseptics, and hypos, was Dr. Rose Marie Parrish, his assistant.' When we got to the scene of the disaster, we were horrified to perceive as one of the injured, our old friend, Jamie Barstead. It seems he and Mr. Bud Weaver were on their way to Newman to interview the coach, and the car turned over. You remember the Blue Ford Buddy had way back in ’47? WeH, it finally collapsed. We inquired about them,and learned that Barney was a combination of veterinarian and carpenter, while Bud was now connected with the Y. W. C. A. As they weren't badly hurt, we were allowed to converse with them at the hospital. They told us that the rest of the Blueford Boys had been sentenced to three years of hard labor at Fort Leavenworth. I guess they had made one too many trips to Areola, and that was the end. For a while, they were all shouting to Richard, who was promoted to warden, to open the door; Chaplin, that is. Just recently, they had been paroled, and Joe Red Morris was now a very courageous fire-chief, at which we were not at all surprised, his having flamin'? hair, and all. 4nd those great athletes, Sandy and Sam, � re better known today as Coach Charles Sanderson, of otre Dame, and Coach Carl Simmons, of Princeton. Their rivalry has continued into the professional world. Another fellow they had seen was A1 Brady,who was the Professor of English at the University of Bourbon. From the hospital we decided to visit Phyl s asylum which had been remodeled and the name changed from The Home For The Inane to The Home For The Insane, after it was discovered one of her most wealthy and unhealthy patients to be not lazy, but crazy. She, Mrs. Betty Barnhart Jones Smith Van Buren Stinkly Kookamonga Bingo is very slowly recovering, however, under the highly efficient treatment of the best specialist, Dr. Har.old E. McCumber, B. S.—Brain Surreon. For several years he has been treating her.......like a dog. Then, over the priceless radio, came the shocking news that Riley's Recreation Parlor had just been held up. The local Police Department with Detective Mercian Hausman as Chief Executive Detective, had broken in and split up the gambling tables in the rear. The new proprietor, Gerre Earley, who had concocted a new energy-giving beverage, dalled Moonshine, was heartbroken. And, if this wps not bad enough, the announcer announce’’ that the notorious cambler and loafer. Ed Vlrge aker, had been fatally shot in the back........of his index finger. 4 most tragic end. After hearing about this catastrophic catastrophy, we decided to celebrate by going to a nlf?ht club. In lights in front of the bluest one were the names BUBBLES 3L0MQUEST. the BJRLko Ua BEAUi and GLAMOUR GUY, the VOICE VULTURE. 3 ic w ia lTesr( the8 name Ki year ago ’‘' ren to see if it werp Janet and Martha. And it were. And who should be standing in the lobby making eyelashes at the hat-check cuties, Dottle Robertson, and Mary Ellen 0 Bryan, but The Eyelashes himself, Chas. A. Hawkins, the owner of the joint, oardon me, club. Deciding not to check our wraps, not that we're cheap or anything, we proceeded to our table. Me caught camera-man-reoorter, whom we recognized as Bob Humphrey, in the act of snapping socialites Mr. and Mrs. Soike Flanigan, in the company of Solke's little tacks, their governess, Pat Thomas, and her secretary, Betty Mlshard. From the former Shirley vaters, we learned that Reginald Romine and Gail Trostle had been collaborating on their new idea,Collaborated Milk. They also told us that this milk was made in the dairy owned by Herman Jacobs, This milk could be produced only from cows milked by the remote-control method, originated by Hartman, Endsley, Aehwill, and Inc., whoever that is. Mhen the floor show wa« over, having finally gotten our money's worth, and, though it broke our hearts left a used three-cent stamp for the waitress' tin, we left. Me stumbled, while crossing the =treet, over an oil flare, which due to the carelessness of the new MPA foreman Allyn Fnoche, had been left unlighted. Me picked ourselves uo, looked for bruises and broken bones, and said a few words under our breaths about the labor shortage. Then we limned to our car, the Smittybaker, which had been designed by Mayne Smith. The body is patterned after the Studebaker, with a motor like a Ford though the resemblance is rather vague. Another individual characteristic is that it has no brakes— it,comes equipped with an anchor. If that doesn't work, you drag a foot. Very modern. Mhen we came to the railroad crossing, we had to stoo for an old alow freight. Just as the last car was oassing we espied the form of a man hanging on the caboose. Making it out to be our old friend (And I use the word lightly)Frank Marler, we loudly hailed him from the top of our’auto. He saw us,and came to greet us,though not very enthusiastically. He informed u= dejectedly, I've had a hard time of it. For a few years, I have nlayed the races, while my two trusty stallions, Man o Man and Dogbiscult, won goodies and goodies of troohies. Then, all o a sudden, they uooed and died leaving me with nothing to live for. Or on. But, after I had had a talk with Rev. Mayne Mhitehead, the famous theolo-gist, I decided to take a trip down South on the box cars. 8 it was still earlv, (about 4:30 a.m.) we went to the corner drug store to get a zombie, and there behind the counter was—yes, it MAS—it wag George Bub McLennan, the Jerk— er, soda Jerk. He saw we were looking rather hazy, and gave us a Corruoticating Caosule, a oill made to restore your hang-over to normal, invented by that eminent, or should I say, imminent scientist, W. M. Lear. His has been a very successful life, exceot for the fact that his wife left him vhen he invented the truth olll and accidently took one himself. She found out more things about him in five minutes than she had known in the oast five years. Darn those ollle. The caosule having cleared our vision, somewhat, we gawked around the store, and saw a lovely gorrreous blond0 drinking a Bubblecola. We walked ovar to gat a better look, and it was an advertising olcture of a mirl we used to go to school with} Slim English. Bubby told us that she vaa p Flowers Model now, and this olcture vps drawn by Mary lowers, who wgo a great fashion designer, commercial artiet, owned a model agency, and was the wife of Don Armstrong on the side. Malkin. ov°r to the bookstand, we saw a pocket-book of condensed ooems by Jeanne Boot, the second Amy Lowell. Since we knew Jeanne, we bought a book. Mot that we'd ever read it, you understand. All of a sudden we heard a terrible roaring, and right in front of the drug store stored an incredible looking monstrosity that resembled a scooter-motor, rom off of it steoned a -oersonage whom we knew to be George Timm. He recognized us, but we made him talk to us, anyway. In answer to our ouestions, he said, I've been elected the community grave-digger, town lawn-mower, and the assistant to Johnny in T. C. H. S. I've been soliciting for work, and instead of walking, ride around on Jim Victor's new brain Job, the 'Put-out'. Jim, we knew, was a well-known mechanic. At that moment, into the sootllght steooed Weldon Hack-ett, Jr., better known to us as Sonny. He had come to bring a orescrlotion to the oharmaclst. Sonny was now a dentist, he said, for old time's sake. He'd been subscribing to the Dentist's Digest, and last month heftl read that Harold Pete Pribble had conjured uo a new creation—a tooth oowder exclusively or false teeth. We'd remembered seeing an ad in the magazines showing Evelyn Daniels, a recent radio discovery, earina her brand new teeth which shone because she used Pribble's Giggle Powder. On the street again, we ran into Mr. Dean Utterback, 'oming to.work—it was by now 6:15 a.m.—and stonoed to say ’hello. He wa s m°nsf?er of Kroner's Grocery, now, and a very nfluential business man. T e arrived at Earlena's at the orecise moment the mllk-in was makinm hi« rounds. Since we wondered if it was Col-.eborated Milk, we went ov°r to ask him, and who should we find ours°lve° talking to but Don Walker.' We asked him how he liked the milk business, and he replied, Oh, all right, Continued on back of Ambitions _ ner OAISC MQQ omecomi nq ■ t % rlN'b Queen -hbi ncj B lIilS SinqfomQ BoysJ' Champ try our Matt no move r | I ■r'J Ctf sa fio a Hard at WorM Jo ) ) J + fteo) vS l 70 P CALENDAR Senior Class of � 47 begins its last ear Sept. 3---School began (Everyone was overjoyed) Sept. 13---Football season began.

This is what I mean. You could not take three apples from four bananas, or six plums from eight plums, and so on. Do you understand now? The majority of the class seemed to grasp the idea, all but Bill Lear, who immediately raised his hand, Please, Mr. Doolittle, he'said, rather timidly, You can take three quarts of milk from two cows. Dean Utterback's boss went to the store's ice box the other day to get some fresh meat. As he opened the door, he was amazed to find Dean sitting very comfortably on a big slab of meat. What are you doing in here? he asked. Isn't this a Westlnghouse? asked Dean. Yes. Veil, I'm 'westing'. Mother, may I have $10 for a poor cripple? Earlena Davies asked her mother. Why certainly you may. replied her mother, impressed by her earnest tone, Who is it, and where is he crippled? It's me, she explained, and I'm crippled in my finances I Mr. Ashwill: Is there anything worse than to be old and bent? Son Elvin: Yes, to be young and broke. Miss Grumbles: Name two books which have' helped you very much, Wayne Smith. Smirt: My mother's cookbook and my pop's checkbook. Roscoe Randell: Did you know that a new school teacher is coming here? Truman Endsley: Yep. Did you know that he had a glass eye? Nope. Can you tell which one is glass? Yes. You look at both his eyes pretty hard, and the one that has a gleam of human kindness in it is the glass one. A1 Brady: I call myself a senond-story man. Mr. Maloney: What do you mean, A1 ? Al: Well, if you don't believe my first story, I will have another to tell. Jeanne Root: Mr. Collins, you know the high IQ rating that has been with the Root family for generations?

Virge scratched his head for a moment, then said, I'll be derned if I'll work for thpt. Franklin Layne was out driving his car one day when he ran low on gas. He pulled the car into a filling st-tion and said to the attendants, Here boys, I want some gasoline, and please get a move oni You'll never get anywhere in the world unless you ush. Push is essential, pushed and that's what got me where I am ' Well, gov'nor replied the attendant, ‘‘We naven't a drop of gas in the place, so I reckon you'll have to push again. Mrs. Flack: I would like to know why it is that whenever I leave the room for a short time and then return I find no one working. Janet Blomquest: It's because you wear rubber heels, ma'am. G-ene Earley's employer was heard saying, Yes sir, that hired man.of mine is one of the greatest inventors of the century. Friend: You don't say'. What did he invent? Employer: Petrified motion. Miss Grumbles: I have went. That's wrong, isn't it?1' Marvin Martin: Yes, Ma'am. Miss G: Why is it wrong? Mervie: Because you ain't went yet. Don Walker and Herman Jacobs were on a hike and it was beginning to get dark so they started to look for a place to sleep. When they were ready to lie down, Don asked, Herman, what are you going to use for a pillow? This bit of drain pipe, answered Herman. Drain pipe? ' echoed Dor. Won t that be a bit hard? Course not.,' said Herman. I'm going to stuff it with some straw. Mr. Wu3liman: If someone gave you large apple and a small one and told you to divide wiuh your brother, which apple would you give him?
