Valley, we'll be with you ever 'Tho' years pass, your memory lives on! Alma Mater lead us onward------ On 'till our goal is won. HENDRY HANK BENNETT We, the staff of the VALL-EE-HI, would like to dedicate the 1959-60 yearbook to our friend, teacher, and coach at Valley Senior High School. He towers above us, not only in stature, but in understanding which makes us turn to him for help and advice. We are proud of our athletic records, which can be largely attributed to a coach's alertness and hard work. But the sportsmanship exhibited at Valley is a greater tribute to our coach. Here's one big cheer for our coach, Hendry Hank Bennett. Compliments of EMIL'S MARKET, RED and WHITE STORE; HACKETTS SHELL SERVICE — Cuba Compliments of CANTON STATE BANK; REICHERTS JEWELERS — Canton LEO UTSINGER RALPH W1LCOXEN The Board of Education consists of Claude Jones, President, Leo Utsinger, Vice-President, Harold Omer, Secretary, Kenneth Hamm an, Ralph Wilcoxen, Edgar Stuckel, and Robert Sherman. They devote long hours to solving the problems that arise in a district composed of several communities. They must form the practical policies that keep our school running, see that our schools are taught by a capable and complete faculty, see that the staff is adequately filled, and tend to other duties just as important. Our thanks for a job well done. Compliments of SCRIPP'S and McCARTNEY — Canton; JOHN DUKES WEST SIDE GARAGE — Ellisville t H. E. WOOD - Superintendent Culver-Stockton, B.S.

Class History The fall of '57 opened new and exciting experiences for us as sophomores of Valley Senior High. Our first exciting experience was initiation. Finally accepted as part of Valley, we settled down to begin the year's work. Our class officers, George Kreider, president; Joan Morey, secretary; Mary Jo Myers, treasurer; and Joe Lafferty, student council representative led us through the year. Also, we elected Ruth Ann Combs and Bill Pauli for homecoming king and queen candidates . Our next activity was to sponsor an all-school skating party. To close our first successful year at Valley and to prepare us for our junior year we elected our '58-59 class officers: president. Bill Pauli; secretary, Irene Pickrel; treasurer. Bob Bogard; student council representative, Roddy Deushane. When fall arrived we were ready to begin our busy Junior year. Our first important task was to elect homecoming attendants, Joan Morey and Myron Mason. Soon following we enjoyed a lot of fun, as well as work, in presenting our junior play, Dear Diary. We also enjoyed wearing our new class rings which arrived early in December. By working in the concession stand this year we earned money to give the Junior-Senior Prom, Under the Western Skies. Spring also brought the Chicago trip— greatly enjoyed by all. Our senior year for which we had all been waiting finally arrived with Duane Daley, president; Jean Miller, secretary; Carl Baker, treasurer; and Mary Jo Myers, student council representative as our class officers. Bill Broadfield and Ann Rodeffer reigned as king and queen while Joe Lafferty and Mary Jo Myers were first attendants. Christmas time brought the music of Tom Sparrow to Valley High for the annual Christmas Dance sponsored by the seniors . Honors were bestowed upon Sharron when she received D.A.R. and on George Kreider when he received the Good Citizenship award. The spring of '60 arrived bringing with it the graduation activities. We chose as our motto, Success is a result, not a goal ; our flower, red rose; and colors, aqua and silver. We have had three successful years at Valley and feel we owe a great deal of that success to our able and willing class sponsors, Mrs. Joy Roberts and Mr. Marvin Slbert. 16 LARRY ANDERSON CARL BAKER Seniors MARY BIRD CAROLYN BOCK ROBERT BOGARD WILLIAM BROAD FI ELD Seniors JUDITH BRYAN CAROLYN CHATTERTQM 18 Compliments of DR.

Secretary 4 . 30 Compliments of GRAVES GRAIN FEED; DOROTHY SMITH, Avon Rep. — Maquon Class Prophecy The year is 1985 and we find our old friend and class-mate DUANE DALEY, who is now President of the United States, preparing to take his annual round-the-world, good-will tour. As he boards his shiny new jet with his private secretary and right-hand woman, PAT STIARWALT, we catch a glimpse of that famous lady jet pilot, ANN RODEFFER, who will be at the control panel during the flight. Before becoming the president's private pilot, Ann was a jet skywriter for the Roastie-Toastie Cereal Company. With Ann at the controls of the president's plane, we see JUDY BRYAN as a very capable co-pilot. Because New York is the largest city in the United States, Duane decided to go there first. As he lands at the WATKINS AIRFIELD, he is met by the Mayor of the city, JOHN WATKINS . Because of John's great popularity with the people they have named the largest airfield in New York after him. A stop in New York would never be complete without a trip to the ball park to watch the Yankees win another game, and, of course, they will win because they are lucky enough to have GARY RORHER on their team as second baseman. While sitting in the stadium, the president purchases hot dogs from MARY BIRD and JANET MURPHY, who have a going hot dog concession stand. Mary and Janet have made millions with their root-beer flavored hot dogs. After the ball game which the Yankees win 50 to 2 with Gary making 29 home runs, Duane takes off for the sunny state of Florida. He hears that a circus larger than the RinglingBrothers is playing in Miami and is determined to see the opening performance. That evening while watching the program in the big top, he sees LINDA NOTT on the tight-rope in one ring, KAREN WILCOXEN flying through the air on a trapeze, and JOE LAFFERTY as ring master. President Daley decides to spend the night in Florida and naturally wants the most luxurious quarters possible. He chooses the president's suite at the Morse Hotel, owned and operated by LONNIE MORSE. He dines on a delicious feast prepared by the famous American Chefs, ARLENE GRABILL and JEAN MILLER, who are employed by Lonnie. Next, our president is off for our most beautiful state, Hawaii. The president no sooner alights at Waikiki Beach than he spots the Valley Stomp Dancing Studio and decides to brush up on his danc- ing . While taking his dancing lesson he learns that BOB COX manages the studio and KAREN VOORHEES and DIANA SMITH are employed there as hula instructors. The next day the crew heads the jet for England. We know the English are avid racing fans and the president can't leave until he witnesses an actual midget car race, especially when he learns that BILL PAULL and KARL JONES are to be two of the featured drivers. During the week-end the president and King Charles of England go to see the annual horse racing derby. Duane is quite pleased when the race is won by the famous American race horse jockey, ANN PHIPPS. The king is also pleased as Ann was riding The Black Viking, a horse from his stables. Duane hates to leave England and its sports but he must journey on to Ireland. For good-will pur- poses he decides to visit the average farmer there. What a surprise when he finds that the farm he has chosen is owned and operated by an old friend, BOB BOGARD. Bob, always an enterprising farmer, de- cided to go to Ireland and try farming along with cross-breeding hens and parrots . Bob figures that way a hen could always tell him when she has laid an egg. France and Spain are the two countries next on the tour. Arriving in Paris, the president attends a fashion show, after learning that two of the top models in the show will be VIRGINIA ROCK and ELLEN LEFLER. Together they have designed that wonderful creation, the saggy bag dress which is the hit of the fashion world. While in Spain the president goes to see an authentic Spanish bull-fight and dis- covers classmate RODERICK DEUSHANE will be the main matador of the day. All those Ag. classes Roddy studied at Valley must have helped him—at least with the bull. Compliments of C . B. VARNOLD, Excavation-Drainage-Formed Concrete — Maquon From Spain, President Daley travels to Italy. For lunch he makes a brief stop at a carry-out pizza pie shop managed by PAT MORSE and PAT SNYDER. Duane laughs to himself as he thinks—there's noth- ing like a good genuine Italian Pizza Pie, especially when it is prepared by two genuine Americans . While in Italy the president decides to look in on an exciting event that is going on in that country at the present time. That event is the Miss Universe contest. The contest is won by an American girl, CAROLYN BOCK, the stamp collector of old Valley High. The contest was judged by two famous beauty authorities, BILL BROADFIELD and CARL BAKER. Duane wonders if they might have been a little prej- udiced toward the American side, especailly since Carolyn was a classmate of theirs. Now is the time to visit the Northern Countries before it gets too cold so the jet is headed for Switzerland. The main event in the country which Duane will attend is the Olympic Games. Before the games, however, the president goes to a famous ski resort, the Broken Arms, to visit an old friend. Her athletic ability back at Valley has come into good use because EILEEN DANCY now has an exciting job as ski instructor at the resort. Later at the Olympic Games President Daley learns that the title of Champion of the World Discus Thrower has been won by LARRY ANDERSON, and the Champion Swim- mer Award went to CAROL MULICA. Duane wonders if red hair and athletic ability go hand in hand. Before leaving Switzerland, the president dines at one of Switzerland's outstanding smorgasbord res- taurants which is owned by ROGER MIXER. Roger tells him that SAM HARSHBARGER is his head waiter and bouncer at the restaurant. After leaving Switzerland, they head south to visit Africa. Upon reaching their destination, the president is invited to join a two month safari trip guided by DIANE DUNN and CAROLYN CHATTERTON . The two girls tell Duane to travel through the jungle is no worse than making your way through the halls of Valley High. But after all, the president's time is not his own and he must continue on his trip and forego the pleasure of the safari. While in Africa, a flight is taken to the center of the jungle to visit RONALD TAYLOR and MYRON MASON who own a tailoring shop for pygmies . Myron holds the pygmies on his shoulders while Ronald takes the measurements. Next on the visiting list is China. The president visits a rice factory and there meets two old friends, MARY WAGNER and DAVID SCHISLER, who are employed as rice sweepers. Mary and David are allowed to keep all the rice they sweep up and have made themselves a fortune by sacking it and sending it to Bob Bogard in Ireland to feed his talking hens . Australia is the next stop. Everyone knows this country is famous for its kangaroos but how about the famous kangaroo trainers . Duane has quite a surprise when he finds MARY IO MYERS and RUTH COMBS hard at work with this job. The girls are trying to train the kangaroos to become baby sitters to supply the increased demand. Upon leaving Australia, it is decided to make one more visit before heading for home. The last visit will be in the coldest state, Alaska. Through the years Alaska has developed quite an educational system and the president decides to visit one of its more famous universities there to find SHARRON HARTSTIRN president of the Eskimo University of Technology. Another old friend GEORGE KREIDER is employed there as Dean of Men. Finally this plane heads for home. In less than two hours the president finds himself relaxing in his favorite easy chair listening to a new record, Beatnik Bob made by that popular recording duo, JOAN MOREY and LARRY HAHN. As the president is reminiscing, he leans back in his chair and thinks to himself that not only has his visit been a success but that the class of 1960 has been quite a suc- cess also. 32 Class Will We, the members of the senior class of Valley High, being of sound mind and memory and knowing that our days at Valley are limited, hereby make and declare this to be our last will and testament.

They are: President, Robert Lundry; Vice-President, Lee Reed; Secretary, Jitana Hamman; Treasurer, Carol Grice; Student Council Representative, Gary Kempster; Reporter, Sharon Cook; and Advisors, Mrs. Sarah Rasmussen and Mr. Hendry Bennett. Throughout the year, the juniors were busy making money via the junior stand which was open every day and for the school dances. They were also in charge of the concession stand for all the home football games. The class elected Jitana Hamman and Jim Lafferty as junior attendants to the King and Queen for the Homecoming Coronation. For the attendants, the class decorated a float for the Homecoming parade using the theme, Star Light - Star Bright. In November, the class presented their play, China Boy and in December the long-awaited class rings arrived. This year the junior class discussed holding the prom at a hotel but it was finally decided to have a banquet for the junior and seniors and then have a dance at the gym. Due to the expense of the banquet, the elaborate decorating of the gym will be dispensed with. The highlight in the spring, is the trip to Chicago which is on Saturday,May 21 and will be en- joyed by all the junior class.

The Council consists of class presidents, organization presidents, and repre- sentatives. This year the Council was headed by George Kreider, President; Duane Daley, Vice-President; Sharron Hartstirn, Secretary; and Joan Morey, Treasurer.

This year, due to a small class, outside help was needed. The news from the organizations and classes is written by reporters and given to the journalism class. The outside reporters for THE VOICE are; F.H.A.........................Janet Murphy F. F.A....................Donald Abbadusky G. A.A.......................Marla Metelka Latin Club...................Marla Metelka Band...........................Sharon Cook Lettermen..............................Lee Reed Student Council...............Sharron Hartstirn Sophomore..........................Susan Rench Junior............................Sharon Cook Senior.............................Jean Miller Sports............Joe Rodeffer, Keith Sherman, and Alan Swearingen Our efficient editor of THE VOICE is Linda Nott and the assistant editor is Jitana Hamman, who will move up to the position of editor next fall. There is a great deal of work to publishing THE VOICE. After the articles are written, they are typed on rough draft and then on stencil. After the stencils have heads cut and are proofread, they are run off on the mimeograph. The cover and heads are cut on the memeoscope on which every student has a chance to show his ability. After all the pages have been run off, there is still the big job of putting the paper together and selling it to the students during the noon hours. The day the paper comes out is a very busy one for the journalism students and all volunteers. The next class period after the paper is out, the journalism class goes over the entire paper, page by page, giving constructive criticism to each other. Then the addressing of approximately 25 papers is still to be done. Papers are sent to subscribers, school board members, and schools of the surrounding area .

It was for single and group pictures to be taken. Next came the planning of the dummy. Who works tonight? Can you stay? The many nights of cutting and pasting pictures and write- ups on the layout sheets were next. After all the proofreading the VALL-EE-HI was ready to go to press. Does it sound like a lot of work? It was, but even more fun!

Library Stati Biographies of Jack Hayes, Roy Campanella, Bob Cousy, and Anne Frank, vocational books, and books about Alaska and Hawaii have been some of the popular new books this year. The library also received a library cart. This cart has been very useful, for currently demanded books can be placed on the shelves. Also, it can be moved to the classrooms for unit work. By keeping a closer check of books, the librarians have been able to give better service. Thanks to careful and thoughtful students the library this year has had fewer lost or destroyed books.

After that Brick was laid we were ready to bust. The next brick was our float in the homecoming parade — Lick 'Em. We laid our next brick at the Pizza Party in the Home Ec. Room . The First Grade laid a few more bricks at our Christmas Party and Santa Claus helped mix the mortar. In February some real brick layers laid quite a number of bricks. (Daddy Date Night). Our fathers really enjoyed helping us with our growing foundation. Because we were about out of money by then, we had a Cookie Sale to earn some money to keep our foundation going. Then we took a little time out for the Spring F.F.A. and F.H.A. Dance. FRONT ROW; L. Morse, M. Myers, K. Hagaman, P. Stiarwalt, J. Murphy, M. Melton. BACK ROW: V. Rock, B. Shawgo, K.

The girls started their year with a picnic at Canton Park in July honoring the incoming sophomores. The sophomores were initiated at a traveling supper ending at Mrs. Rasmussen's for a sleepless slumber party. In October the G.A.A. entered a float in the homecoming parade using the theme, Rocket to Victory. The next item on the agenda was a card party in November, which the girls and many of the parents enjoyed. In November the G.A.A. and Lettermen were very successful with their annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. The highlight of the year was February 13, when the girls had their carnival with the theme of the Mardi Gras. Several of the girls attended Overnight Camp in the spring.

The homecoming float provided fun and problems as the Vikings Sank the Pirates . At one meeting Mr. Boden showed pictures of his recent trip to Athens and Rome.
