When applying for tardy and absence slips, her cordial greeting gave us courage. Mi3S Margaret has unselfishly devoted her time and efforts to our school since November, 1933 So we, the Seniors, in this small way, show our gratitude to Miss Margaret Amicongioll.

HARRY B. SUTTER Principal Bachelor of Science in Education Southv est Missouri State Teachers College Master of Arts in Secondary Education University of Missouri In American democracy, each citizen must accept responsibility for living a worthy private life and also help to solve the social problems which confront the American people in their local, state, national, and world communities Pupils in our schools must learn to make intelligent choices through democratic procedures. Teachers, school administrators, and parents must realize that our freedom can be lost if each of us does not accept his responsibilities as a member of the social or political group.

Phil Cormier President Phil Johnson Vice Presednet Elizabeth Harrison Secretary Delores Hanson Treasurer CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 191 6, we, as Infant Freshmen, numbering 81, boomed into the high school world with great hopes and expectations. We started our high school career by electing officers, John Beling was chosen executive. He received an occasional shove from Bill Mezzano, vice president. Delores Hanson and James Sether had a big job keeping tab of our numerous proceedings and handling the money. A successful class party was our one accomplishment for the year. Time marches onj Having passed the stage of infancy, we again elected officers. Vicious campaigns were staged, with Rita Regis coming through as president and James Sether as vice president. Nicky Harrison began her secretarial reign this year. June Porter was our tax collector. With an eager desire to put on a good Junior Prom, we sold bars at a game and sponsored a dance. With increased age comes increased responsibility. As Jolly Juniors, we elected Phil Johnson to lead us. Phil Cormier was put on the shelf as vice president. Nicky Harrison was still holding the fort as secretary. Bill Mezzano suffered gray hair as a result of being treasurer. We experienced our first contact with graduation this year— our class rings. Our salesmanship proved to be unusual, and a large profit was secured from the magazine sale and concessions. The Junior Prom now became a reality instead of a dream, under the leadership of Phil Cormier and Joy Johnson. The theme of our most successful prom was ”01d Fashioned Garden.” The turn of the half century brought graduation. Phil Johnson, worn from fatigue, retired to the shelf, while Phil Cormier took over the job of leading the 59 Seniors. Nicky still warmed the secretarial bench, and Delores Hanson put her bookkeeping into practice by being treasurer. One of the souvenirs in our memory book shall be the Senior class party which we had at Christmas. We changed the old routine of class parties by caroling around town. A picnic, banquet, commencement, and baccalaureate brought to a happy end our high school career. Now we face the world, armed with education, with a determined look in our eyes, and with the following words of Francis Scott Key on our lips: Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just— And this be our motto,— In God is our trust J” Page Twenty-four LESLIE NEIL BEDELL Roomful of Roses Industrial Arts Band 1,2; Prom committee 3; Basketball 3 5 Echo hi Conservation club 1,2; Movie operator U.

Pa e Thirty CLASS PROPHECY In the year I960, the year of the Atomic Powered Automobile, Glass Houses, and the revolutionizing invention of Nagichim, the family robot, which is a necessity to every family, there stands in a neglected corner of Metropolis Gotche's Follies , a spark of the former life of 195 0. Paul Gottwald has strived to keep alive this spark, though life now has become much easier, but more dangerous. Gotch had his buildings designed by the famous Regis-Rintamaki Corporation, composed of Rita Regis and Janice Rintamaki, whose motto is, We Build to Rebuild Jane Manley, the famous inferior decorator, pardon us, the interior decorator, is responsible for the beautiful furnishings of the Follies . Paul's carefully selected chorus-girls who adhere to the age-old adage of; Age before beauty , and led by his brilliant and enticing torch singer Donna Faye Haskins, have shown us that we are only as old as we feel. Also starring at Gotche's Follies is Phil Cormier's orchestra, featuring Cootie and his educated drums along with Roy Hot-lips Maki, who plays lead trumpet in the orchestra. Sitting beside Roy and playing her Singing Saxaphone is Pauline P.K. Kastelnak, his ever-loving wife. Now you are invited to come with us to the opening night performance of the up and coming comedian, Don Roach Running. As in most opening nights, all the famous celebrities of Hollywood, Broadway, and Cukamanga, have gathered to see the rising of a new star among us. Circulating among them, interviewing each and every one, is that outspoken master of ceremonies, James A. Sether, who most of you have probably heard on that quiz program, All or Nothing At All . This program is sponsored by the makers of Activated Rice , the cereal that not only snaps and crackles, it whistles. The owner of this company and inventor of this cereal is multimillionaire, Dennis Money Bags Rice, who discovered a gold mine in Wico. Right now Jim is interviewing the celebrated star of stage, screen, and television, that famous singer. Ward Glamour Tonsils Zuidmulder, who is touring the country with the Metropolitan Opera. Just arriving in their slick limousine, The Fasteline , invented by that mechanical genius, Oiva Fastelin, are the Bedells, namely Mary Lou Kerkes and Neil Bedell. They have their own radio program, Breakfast With the Bedells , at four thirty in the morning, originating from their farm deep in the Ozarks. Fresh from his bout with the Russian wrestler, The Iron Curtain , is John The Mauler Hocking, who has agreed to put on a guest appearance at the Follies . Standing by the door is the ever-watchful bouncer. Matt The Muscle Wuorinen and his aid, the beautiful house detective, Barbara Slim Wundrock. Opening the door for these celebrities is Donald Sampson, the most famous door-man in Metropolis. Sitting at one of the front tables is Nicky Harrison, the famous columnist and editor of the Metropolis Times, and who writes the widely read column Advice to the Lovelorn . With her are her partners, Dorothy Jurmu, the author of the book I Converted Russia , which she wrote on her return trip from her missionary work there, and Delores Hanson, sports editor of the Denver Daily Globe, who has the distinction of being the only woman sports writer in the country. Sitting at the next table is a class-mate of Nicky's from the University of Thomaston, Bill Mezzano, the discoverer of the devastating cosmic bomb, and his assistants in his nuclear research, Grace Minier and Marlene Bolen. A visiting colleague from Jack Rabbit College, just a hop, skip, and a jump from Thomaston University, is Jack Brennan, Professor of Egyptian Architecture and a brilliant atomic physicist. Jim Bugni, the head waiter, in his stately black and white uniform, is handing menues to Senator Luoma and his guests. Senator Luoma, Don to us, surprised the world by becoming the world's youngest Congressman at the age of 19 Yfith him is Arlene Saari, the first woman governor of Michigan, who hopes to become the first woman prisident of the United States. Just handing his order to the waiter is Bill Saily, who, so the story goes, one day decided to try his luck at politics, and has now become the President of the United Nations. On stage, the first act of the evening, which is the Jurmu Brothers (Ralph and Russell) is just beginning. Their act, which they call The Toss-up , represents the finer points of tumbling. Arriving late, as usual, is Phil Johnson, who is now appearing on Broadway in the current hit, The Johnson Story . Starring with him is Arlene Yatchak, Wakefield's Veronica Lake. We must not forget the back tables, for sitting at one of them is the world renowned Tony The Babe Zielinski, who was chosen as Rookie of the Year in the Seashore League, where he batted the surprising average of 723. Along with him are three other record breakers, Rudy Valesano, who plays fullback for the Bessemer Rams, and what made him famous and immortal was the day he told ten other players of his team to sit down, and he took the opening kick-off and ran through the entire opposition for a touchdown. This feat has never been duplicated. John Beling, famous basketball player for the Sunday Lakers, broke the record by making the amazing total of 231 points a game. He ac- counts for this by saying, As long as the basket don't move, I can hit it. Dorothy Wiitanen is making tracks all over the continent after winning the Olympic IX yd. dash in 8 5 10 seconds. The spotlight is now centered on Ted Niemi, who is playing a musical interlude at the Hammond organ. His first selection is A Kiss in the Park , by Eileen Makela. One of the outstanding couples on the dance floor is James V.ojciehowski and Glenda Benson, who won the National Jitterbug Marathon Contest, by dancing two weeks straight. Just making her grand entrance now, is Miss Eleanor Blaskowski, who inherited one million dollars from a long lost uncle. The curtain now opens on the Andrews Sister's Sisters, Adele Luoma, Audrey Johnson and Marlyn Lepisto, who will sing, with the accompaniment of the organ, Eileen's famous song A Kiss in the Park . What lyrics 11 Page Thirty-one The Amy brass from Washington are now entering, and among them is General Elmer Danula, the commander-in-chief of the Michigan National Guard. The only woman in the bunch is Joy Johnson, a big wheel in the Wacs. We forgot to mention that only the elite come to Gotche's Follies because of the fine food prepared by David Spinach Osier, who charges fl5 a plate for dinners. Also, adding to the atmosphere are the singing waitresses, better known as the Twirp Quartet , composed of Edith Roberts, Shirley Jarvinen, Rose Marie Galinatz, and Beatrice Johnson. Speaking of singers, we hear Lois Forte has made quite a name for herself as contralto soloist of the Chicago Theater of the Air. The first woman mortician of the Class of 1950, is Margaret Williams, who says, My job makes me 'dead tired'. Absent this evening are three enterprising young men, Allan Hallberg, James Johns, and Arnold Nikula, who are on their way to the planet Mars for research work regarding vegetation. Also absent from this merry scene is Carole Randall. Carole is in Pieking, China on government business. So, whenever you are lonely, and the dark depressing world surrounds you, drop in at Gotche's Follies and get in the spirit of the gay and carefree Class of 1950.
