Pease FOR HIS UNTIRING EFFORTS IN MAKING OUR SCHOOL A CLEANER AND MORE PLEASANT PLACE TO BE. Mr. Pease has been our custodian for over twenty years and has BEEN ON THE JOB NEARLY EVERYDAY. He HAS HAD A VERY GOOD REASON FOR MISSING THE FEW DAYS THAT HE DID. When asked about his career here, he said that being with YOUNG PEOPLE HAD KEPT HIM YOUNG AND ALIVE TO THE ACTIVITIES OF ALL YOUNG PEOPLE. Because Mr. Pease is such a quiet person, people don’t get ACQUAINTED WITH HIM READILY, BUT WE WHO ASSOCIATE WITH HIM EVERYDAY, KNOW THAT HE IS A VERY PLEASANT MAN. I'M AFRAID THAT WE STUDENTS DON’T SHOW MUCH CONSIDERATION FOR Mr. Pease at times, because we unthinkingly throw paper and other things AROUND OVER THE SCHOOL YARD AND IN THE BUILDING, NOT REALIZING THAT IT MAKES HIS WORK MORE DIFFICULT. Thank you, Mr. Pease—for everything you've done for us I I ;;imh L'-iy rl rl n fi I rl r3 J rl rV rl rl Jj 1 -j jj ULj D'J Urr. Li jj PRESIDENT - Vernon Hays VICE PRESIDENT - Mary Hursh SECRETARY-TREASURER - Doyle Haskell The 3 Freshmen in the '41 class, With grade activities in the past, Came to Warrensburg like a crew To START ANOTHER JOB ANEW. We were busy and studious when Our Freshmen year was at an end. When summer was over and tall drew near, We returned; determined to do better this year. Now IN THE PLACE OF THE SOPHOMORES BEFORE, We SOON DISCOVERED WE WERE MINUS FOUR. Busy with books, with time fob fun too, Happily we worked our Sophomore year through. The Junior year was next in store; This year there were 24. With the class rings and the play We were most anxious to start on our way. Our Junior class play Hook, Line, and Sinker,” Left us with not much time to linger. The Junior year was just about past; We wondered how it had passed so fast. When we came back in the fall We came back Seniors proud and tall. To muse at the Freshmen and Sophomores too; The Juniors would follow us soon, we knew. When Say it With Flowers was at an end, Our yearbook, “CARDINAL was soon to begin. Now AS WE LOOK BACK INTO THE PAST, We find we haven't left a single task; And as we look into the future ways, We're glad we can remember out high school days, I I 9 4 G a r i n a PAT ALBERT Cardinal-Proofreader Cardinette-Typist Commercial Club Home Economics Club Girls’Glee Club G.A.A.

When 1 took my trip last fall To GE . AWAY FROM BUSINESS AND ALL I LEARNED OF THOSE WHO WERE IN MY CLASS And how they've changed as the years have passed. TIME,; A When I stepped into my Jetmobile I saw Vernon Hays ceated at the wheel. Since he is the one who designed this new ship, He will test it on this trip. As I WAS OFF THE ISLES OF LAFOTAN I saw Darlene Blakeman and Gene out a-boatin' And their reason for this, I'll give you three guesses They were honeymooning as Mr. and Mrs. Whom do you think married these two? It was someone both you and I knew I'D BETTER TELL YOU, 'CAUSE YOU'D NEVER GUESS, It was Russell Janvrin, no more, no less. Mary Hursh and Bob have long since married; When he asked the question she never tarried. Then, to Lafotan they were on their way And, liking it there, they decided to stay. With an inexperienced guide, our friend, Bill Hardy We reached our destination with a full party— With a few cuts and gashes, but nothing worse. We were quickly cared for by Norma Schroeder, nurse. In the Mangonian Palace feeling right at home We were suddenly entranced by a beautiful tone; As Elmer Kunze's band began to swing, In the spotlight appeared Bondie Marsh to sing. Pat Albert, then in the spotlight appeared; With her fiddle in hand she's a star to be cheered. And Maribel Camp, with her mandolin bright, Surprised us, too, as she stepped to the mike. Joann Williams, from her uncle in France, Acquired this palace, where we came sy chance. Here Alberta Erandsnburg did her dance But it was the bubbles that held me in trance. I RESUMED MY JOURNEY TO YOKOHAMA, Where Lauretta is teaching the use of the comma. The little Japs seemed meek and mild Though each was once a problem child. While taking a stroll around the place, I saw Of.vetta Dudley painting a face. I GLANCED AT iT, THEN STOPPED TO STARE; For Dorothy Willets was posing there. Off again in record time We traveled on to another climb Where Mary D(al with little strife Was content to write poetry the rest of her life. To Don Geptord's f:ne ranch home The class of ;45 soon would roam. TO LIVE AGAIN THE DAYS GONE BY And ask each other where and why. And thus we found, to our great surprise, That all the class had—in short—become wise. Then, gathering around, we talked long and fast, ‘Til someone concerning our teachers asked. Mr. Drummond now has winning teams, He is so proud his face fairly beams. Miss Mackey is still teaching history; Where she learned so much is really a mystery. Mrs. Burtt is an ideal housewife; She has three children to enlighten her life. Very good is Miss Hansen's band, It's quite well known throughout the land. Mr. Muns, our principal, hasn't changed at all; He still stops the children from running in the hall Miss Williams, the dainty and dignified lass; Still looks very young while teaching her class. Mr. Hanover, who wanted to raise chickens in the past. Has his ambition filled but still teaches his class. And our helpful and patient Miss Moyer, they say, Is still helping the students on their way. Virginia Alsup isn't at W.C.H.S. anymore, She moved to the farm after the war. We'd found that our friends were each doing splendid. So homeward we turned; the perfect trip ended. --Doyle Haskell.

They were successful in making the first five, For these positions they tried and tried. And now they're Juniors gay today How FAST THAT TIME DID PASS AWAY. They received their class rings this year. But some have traded them I fear. The class play turned out to be a success. They were All Gummed Up more or less. Come on Juniors, take our place? Move up into the empty space.

They were a little green at first, But that greenness soon dispursed. They came with the determination to make a success And stay four years, doing their sest. Success with some has hit the ceiling But others have lost that successful feeling. They think it much more fun to play Than settle down and study all day. Some the love bug must have bit. Some seem serious over it. They pick a sweetheart in the fall, They think they love him best of all But when school's out in the spring, They'll have a new one on the string.

WE HAD FOUR LETTER MEN FROM LAST YEAR—BOB THOMPSON, CAPTAIN} LYNN MlNTUN, FRANK PONSLER, AND DONALD DRUMMOND. THE TEAM THIS YEAR WAS MADE UP MOSTLY OF UNDERCLASSMEN, WHICH WILL MEAN A GOOD TEAM NEXT YEAR. Of OUR REGULAR SCHEDULED GAMES WE WON FIVE OUT OF FIFTEEN AND LOST TWO TO LATHAM IN TWO BENEFIT GAMES THAT WERE PLAYED. |N TOURNAMENT PLAY, WE WON THREE GAMES, ONE IN THE COUNTY WHICH GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY IN THE SEMI-FINALS, WHILE IN THE District we won two and lost one in the title game with Niantic. We finished in a tie for fourth place with Bethany in the Cenois Conference. This record is not as good as some, nevertheless, THE EXPERIENCE RECEIVED THIS YEAR WILL GO A LONG WAY IN MAKING 1945-46 A SUCCESSFUL SEASON. Viewing the season record may not give a fair picture of a TEAMS SUCCESS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER’S STANDPOINT. HAS HE PROFITED BY THE SEASON'S PLAY? WHAT VALUES HAS HE LEARNED? LET US TAKE A LOOK. IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK TO QUALIFY FOR A PLACE ON THE FIRST SQUAD, BUT HARD WORK ISN'T NECESSARILY DRUDGERY. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF ENJOYMENT IN PRESISTING IN A SERIES OF MOVEMENTS UNTIL THEY CAN BE PERFORMED WITH SKILL. THE HUMAN BEING IS SO CONSTRUCTED THAT HE GETS A HIGH DEGREE OF SATISFACTION FROM THE FUNCTIONING OF MIND OR MUSCLES 'AND ESPECIALLY FROM THE COORDINATION OF MIND AND MUSCLE. THE DRLLL ON FUNDAMENTALS OF BASKETBALL OR THE OTHER SPORTS IS NECESSARY £!VEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT BE AS MUCH FUN AS ACTUALLY PLAY 1 . RE W'RNS COME IN HARDENED MUSCLES, MORE STAMINA, AND GREATER ' PEeiSItM.

In THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE TOURNAMENT THE CARDINALS DEFEATED Argenta. Several Warrensburg people turned out the first NIGHT AND WERE PROUD OF THE TEAM FOR THAT FIRST VICTORY. NlANTIC WAS THE VICTOR IN OUR SECOND GAME AND THE TEAM WAS AGAIN DEFEATED BY MACON IN THE LAST GAME OF THE TOURNAMENT. The result of these games gave Warrensburg fourth place. The scores were as follows: Warrensburg..........48 Argenta. ............41 Ni antic.............46 Warrensburg..........39 Macon................53 Warrensburg. ........28 DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The District Toutnament was held on the nights of February 20, 21, 22, and 23 at Niantic.

After the high school games were over, the boys started Sunday games with the men of Warrensburg as the apposing TEAM AND ALTHOUGH THEY WEREN’T SO YOUNG ANYMORE THEY SHOWED THE BOYS SOME GOOD GAMES.

KNOCKOUT ANSWER An enterprising Florida NEWSPAPER OFFERED A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE BEST ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION: WHY IS A WOMAN LIKE A NEWSPAPER? Here are some of the answers: Because they are thinner NOW THAN THEY USED TO BE. Because you can't believe ANYTHING THEY SAY. Because they are easy to READ. Because they are well wofth LOOKING OVER. Because back numbers are NOT USUALLY WORTH WHAT THEY COST. Because they always have THE LAST WORD. Because they carry the NEWS WHEREVER THEY GO. But the crowning answer of all and the one to win the subscription was this: Because every man should HAVE ONE OF HIS OWN AND NOT RUN AFTER HIS NEIGHBOR'S. A BARBER WAS SHAVING A NEW customer.
