Letter to-- May 1961 Our Friends Back in 1861, De ar Friends-- We of Wamego Rural High School certainly wish you could be here to celebrate the Centennial of your great State with us. You surely would be sur- prised to find the pioneer state you knew developed into the industrial frontier of today's Kansas. The progress made is like that made by the entire country. Why just last week we put a man into space --a miracle in your day, a reality in ours. We live in an amazing age indeed. But of course, why not recall special events here at Wamego High that will be of interest to you and tug at our memories as well! Our Centennial school year was adorned with specialties that made it distinctive in itself. Students must remember that school is first, last, and always a place of letuning. Knowledge gained here is never lost but returned in manifold blessings throughout life. We all were partial to a few classes and teachers this past year. However, likely topping our memory were thoughts of the gayer side of High School life—social activities. Each of our school dances held special individ- uality of its own. We spent an evening in Winter Wonderland at the Snowball. There was hustling and a burst of excitement the moment Santa appeared on the scene reading the Scandalcxis letters of our stu- dents. Next an enchanting evening of Underwater Fantasy awaited us at the Winter Formal. Moving into spring we experienced an evening at the Last Chance Saloon,'.' a real Centennial style Golddiggers dance. There was little disturbance that night out- side of a gunfight at the bar and the capturing of several wanted men! Now to switch you from dancing to dribbling— we look to sports. Oh, what an outstanding year sports-wise we did see. The football season opened our sports year with Wamego attaining their best record since 1955. Ardent fans were given a treat by the special halftime performances of the colorful Wamego Red Raider Band. One especially sharp show made use of covered wagons, pioneers, Indians and the works! The Football and Basketball Proms added color and variety to both seasons. After such a strong Football season it seemed that Basketball promised even more and gave it. Four years ago Wamego went to state, and the team backed by fans and Pep Club were determined to do it again. Truly everyone Had that spirit this year as we traveled from League, to District, to Regional, to State. Although we did not take State, our game was with Chapman, the team that did. We had tackled the toughest. Oh what exuberant joy we felt with each added victory. If we could pick a climax continued on page 71
