JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Thirty Green Freshmen, in thirty-two Boarded a train for “well what have you?” Miss Douglas, was chosen as chief engineer For a good one to us she seemed to appear. Food is essential to thought I’ve heard So as Chief Cook Chester McGrath, took up the word; As his assistant Irma Good gained fame And I’m here to say she has proved true to her name. Madeline Willard, with pencil in hand Took down the occurrences of our large band. Anna Louise Moffett, our finances did manage So our trip through Bookland, would be to advantage; Two new passengers made our party seem fine Till we lost three, which left twenty-nine After a winter which we did not regret We put out our sign “greenie” “to let”. -19-

THE CARDINAL? THE MACON COUNTY TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 27, 1945 SALESMAN LEADS FIFTH BRIDE TO ALTAR One of the most brilliant weddings of the season took place yesterday when James Noel, Shredded Wheat salesman, took as his bride the blushing Rosemary Botts, prominent teacher and lecturer. The couple will live in a newly furnished home on “Depression Row.” LOCAL FIRM SPONSORS CROONER Friends of Jean Robbins, the well known crooner, will hear his nightly broadcasts over the coast to coast network sponsored by the Warrensburg Canning Factory. CHEFFER CIRCUS COMING TO TOWN The greatest show in America will be in Warrensburg next Tuesday. Medford Cheffer, the owner of the circus, is featured the world’s tallest man. He is still growing. LESTER SPITZER’S BOOK PUBLISHED Mr. Lester Spitzer, well-known for his ability to break women’s hearts, has at last been persuaded to publish his methods and technique in a book called “How to Win a Girl’s Heart.” The book is awaited with much interest. ALSUP-HAINES ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED The engagement of Miss Mabel Hanes, daughter of C. A. Hanes of Warrensburg, and Floyd Alsup was announced yesterday at a tea at the Kresge Lunch Counter, Decatur, Illinois. The engagement is of interest because the romance has been flowering for ten years. The bride-to-be is prominent in Ladies Aid Circles. Mr. Alsup is known for his work in the cultivation of farms by radio. EVANGELIST BANS JAZZ MUSIC Reverend Lewis Kerwood in a stirring address yesterday sternly denounced jazz music as the ruination of the younger generation. Evangelist Kerwood is giving a series of addresses this week in the Village Hall. HOSTESS SUES NIGHT CLUB OWNER Miss Leah Gepford, hostess at the “Barclay Nook”, has sued the proprietor, Harry Barclay, for four thousand dollars for back payment of salary. It seems that Mr. Barclay overlooked ten dollars of Leah’s last pay check. LOCAL BOY MAKES GOOD IN HOLLYWOOD Morris Beall, formerly of Warrensburg, is now with his orchestra at the Coconut Grove in Hollywood. His theme song, very inappropriate, is “How Dry I Am.” He is soon to stop here on his coast to coast trip to play three nights at Albert’s Tavern. MISS McGORRAY LEAVES FOR A WEEK Miss Mary Ann McGorray, famous dress designer, left early this morning in her plane, “Shamrock”, to spend a week in South America. FAMOUS DANCING TEAM HERE Miss Flora Crossman and Mr. Arthur “Tuffy” Rodgers, the famous dance team who can do the Rhumba “like nobody else”, came back to their home town last night for a two day appearance at the Odd Fellows’ Hall. -18- ANNA LOUISE MOFFETT.

THE CARDINAL Our train, after a short delay Resumed the journey on a grand fall day. ’Twas the sixth of September to be exact; That our train was repaired and set on the track, Miss Parker by choice was chief engineer To pilot our train to success this year, Irma Good, true to her name has risen to the chief cooks fame Lloyd Mullins, as her assistant proclaimed His ability of handling us when pandonium resigned. Anna Louise Moffett, took notes this year Of our trip through Bookland “Oh what a career!” Who but Helen Sibthorp should handle the cash? For we knew that she would do nothing rash. At the end of our trip we had only twenty-five. It seems our class had taken a downward dive. At points of our trip we took time out Which every one enjoyed, I do not doubt. On the following fall of thirty-four. Only twenty could be found to make up the score, That doesn’t matter for we’ll fight to the finish To keep our class from a gradual deminish; Our train left the station on the third of September I know that is right because I remember, Our train for the first time required two engineers Miss Parker and Mr. Henry took charge of the gears. Dick Gilman, is chief cook this year. And assistant Francis Culp has proved to be a seer. Harriett Marshall, as secretary in our estimation stands high And if you could be here I’m sure you’d see why Philip Bauman knows how to handle the money In such a way that it doesn’t seem funny Some of our talented members presented a play “The Family Upstairs” which went over in a big way. -20- HELEN V. SIBTHORP.
