% 1 3, orewor j When we began to work on the yearbook, we realized the similarity of each school year with the different phases of both presentation and production of a play. We would like to point out these similarities for you to note. In our play: Backers...................... Board of Education Producers--------------------Superintendent and Principal Directors--------------------Teachers Committees------------------- Bus drivers. Office Secretary, Cooks, and Librarians Cast-------------------------Students Act I------------------Classes Act II.................Club and Class Meetings Act III --------------- Social Activities Finale-----------Graduation As you read and look at this yearbook we, the members of the staff, hope you will keep in mind the comparison of a school year with the parts of a play, including at the end, some pictures of happenings behind the scenes.

She is the unseen power behind those tasty banquets, successful parties, and an active organization, F.H.A As our director her work does not stop with curricular activities but is only more increased by helping with out extra-curricular a tivities. With her warm smile and quiet helpfulness she is always ready to help any of us. Remembering everything she has done for us the Senior Class of 1953, calls Miss Evelyn Mangold forward, for her well deserved curtain call. 5 All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.

By the second year everyone felt more comfortable to know that he had then risen to the status of sophomore. When it came time to elect class officers, Janet Wilson was chosen as president, Mary Ann Centers as Vice-President, Pat Lichtenberger as Treasurer, and Peggy Waddell as Secretary. In the following September this group could boast, Upper-Classmen at last! It was a busy year, though, with more difficult subjects, many social events, and the choosing of class rings. The junior class officers, Pat Lichtenberger, President; Marvin Rau, Vice-President; Mary Ann Centers, Secretary; and Kay Kirby, Treasurer; led the way for the committees of the long anticipated Junior Prom. In the spring, the cast of the junior play presented The Whole Truth . This year, the senior class has diligently selected cards, announcements, senior pictures, and planned asenior trip to the Jack and Jill Dude Ranch, in upper Michigan, under the supervision of Mr. Ligon, Mrs. Barstead and Mr. Roark. The following were chosen for leadership; John Usherwood as President; Bob Maske as Vice President; Ray Koger as Secretary; and Mary Ann Centers as Treasurer. They are ready for graduation, after gaining knowledge of books and people in four high school years. The class of 1953, now, is ready to begin putting this knowledge to use. For some, graduation means the end of school days. They will take their place in the business world, become homemakers, or enter a chosen profession. For others it means a step toward more study, more pleasant memories in school. Whatever else its meaning, each graduate will look back on the many happy activities that he has earned the privilege of sharing with classmates these four years. 18 ecij The former MARY ANN CENTERS, wife of the late multi-millionaire, J. Mushmouth Limberlip, of Peter Pan Peanut Butter, was left a large jar of peanut butter after his creditors were paid off, while BOB MASKE, world famous heavy weight boxing champion, has just divorced his fifth wife, on the grounds of cruelty.

CHARLES KUUL is working on a project to light up the moon for all the lovers, four weeks a month instead of one. He can do anything with neon. JACK JOHNSON is the counsel for the plaintiffs in their plea to the governor asking for a larger allotment of rain for next year’s crops. RUTH BROWN, now with the Squarling Brothers Circus, is doing the high dive into a glass of water. Mister Completely holds the glass of water. The opening night of SNOOKIE (LIZ) WATKINS’ new broadway show, Dancing Feet was termed a magnificent success by everyone. JEAN HURST is a traveling saleswoman for the Five-Course-Dinner-in-a-Capsule Company. PEGGY WADDELL has just won the title of Miss Pot Plant of 1968. ” Dr. Van Snootlebottom, and his wife, the former SYLVIA BUCKLEY, are spending a few weeks on their yacht with some of the Doctor’s patients, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Porky Pig, and Tweety-Pie. ARLENE YOKLEY, known as the most sought-after woman in Illinois, is now the heir of a multi- million state-wide chain of gas stations.

WE, THE SENIOR CLASS, will our ability to enjoy working together to the Juniors, our ability to make money to the Sophomores, and our knowledge gained from the past experiences to the Freshmen. Use your inheritance wisely! 20 Jim Taylor President Patricia McClure Vice-President Betty Boyer Treasurer In September of 1950, 49 very green, and very fresh freshmen invaded the solemn halls and class- rooms of WLHS. The faculty had misgivings about our ability to ever act like high school students, so we were deluged with etiquette films and consultat- ions with our advisors on our somewhat dubious behav- ior. Most of us made itsafely through our first year, however, and became sophomores who felt ever so big in our positions of higher esteem, and could must- er a few laughs when we heard the sly remarks about the freshmen. This school term we cmae back as upperclassmen, so called jaunty juniors, and we’ve loved every minute of the hustle, bustle, and mischief. We’ve worked hard on our money raising schemes for the Junior-Senior Prom which is to be heldon May 16. A carnival, Valentine dance, donkey basketball game, and play constituted our main agenda. Our royalty throughout our three years has been three queen candidates for the homecoming, Jane Herr, Nancy Warnick, and Pat McClure; also kingand queen candidates for the carnival, which has beenneld only the past two years, Nancy Scheibly and Harold Holmes, and Jane Herr and Johnny Williams. We cannot include in a short space all of the little incidents that have gone into making this class a unit. But as a unit, we wish to say good-by until next year--when we will be high men on the totem pole----Seniors! 21 DONALD FLACH HAROLD HOLMES ROGER FLACH EARLINE HAMILTON f � ifA Ai KEITH HOWE HELEN MUSGRA VES BARBARA KUNZ JANET LEHN ROBERT MOONEY ROSELLA MOORE CHARLES NOTTINGHAM 24 EILEEN PHILLIPS RICHARD PULLINS HOLMES SCHECK NANCY SCHEIBLY Donna Williams James Williams John Williams JUNIOR CLASS PORTRAITS Pat Albert— Hold that car Suzi Baker-- Just hold me Norman Brumett-- Sweet as sugar Donald Flach-- Hot rod race Nancy Hanes-- Sweet and lovely Jane Herr-- Be nice to me Judy Hood-- Happy-go-lucky Janet Lehn--”Very truly his Keith Totten-- I, am a man” Bill Vaughan-- Girls, I’m single Charles Batchelder-- Distant but swell Betty Boyer-- Variety is the spice of life Mary Lou Buckley-- Likes two things in life, athletics and boys' Janice Burdine— Quiet?

Several of our class did not return to the halls of W. L. H. S. this year, others moved away after the school year had begun. In their places we gained Paul Betzer and Jim Mathews. We elected the following officers for this year: President Joe Roger, Vice-President Noble Usher- wood, Secretary Gary Hopkins, Treasurer Paul James, and Class Reporter Stanley Tuggle. Our sponsors were Miss Morgan, Miss Mangold, and Mr. Schwalbe who helped us through our many difficulties. Our candidates for King and Queen of the carnival which was sponsered by the junior class were Jim Heinz and Carolyn Lichtenberger. Carolyn was also chosen as our candidate for homecoming queen. We were kept busy by many different activities, such as our money making project, the selling of pop corn and pop at all the home games and during the noon hour, the class parties, which were planned by a party committee appointed by President Roger. . 29 omore Gene Faith--The Trapper Don Richardson—Sleepy Ralph Trump--Atlas Paul Betzer—Strong, silent type Vina Standerfer—Good Sport Arvid Galloway—Lippy- Barbara Hall--Flirtatious Miss Joanne Jacobs—Squeaky- Margaret McGill--Tennessee Gal Carolyn Lichtenberger—Blonde Beauty Janet Emery-Petite and Demure Peggy Alsup—Short 'n Sweet Dellis Pierson-Hot Rod Bob Richner—Reckless Driver Tom Mayberry—The Quiet Type Ruth Standerfer—Master Chef John Shively--Long John Ted Kirby--Cassanova Gary Hopkins—Hoppy Stan Tuggle—Man With a Horn Jim Matthews—Southern Boy Paul Seeman—Salty Judy Cross--Sophisticated Miss Noble Usherwood--Naughty but Nice Don Simonton—Grease Monkey Sherrel White—Whitey Charles Pfeifer-Windy Marilyn Holtzman--Dimples Nancy Haynes—The Sweet Stenographer Susan Jostes—Jabberwockey JoEllen Jones— Girl with a hom Jim Maxwell—Mighty Mouse Linda David--Dark Beauty Harold Clem—The Scientist Lee Andrews--Little Imp Joe Koger—The Mighty Pres.

Q. Frankie Tall, dark, and shy Shorty Gabriel 34 Agriculture is offered to boys all four years of high school and is an elective course. The boys study animal husbandry their freshmen year, soil and crops their sophomore year, farm management the third year and farm mechanics the fourth year. They keep cumulative records of all their projects. Agriculture 35 Pecking away at timed writings or scratching away at shorthand occupies the time of many a stu- dent. Commercial subjects have a fascination for those who study them. They provide excellent train- ing for quick minds and dexterous hands and give the student a feeling of success when he has become skilled at typing or shorthand. These courses require adaptability. Particularly the advanced courses such as office practice, business machines, and book- keeping. 36 English Since English is a required subject for the fresh- men, sophomores, and juniors, nearly everyone is in one or another of these classes. The freshmen studied grammar, essays, biog- raphies, and the reading and analyzing of stories under the direction of Miss Hostler, Sophomore Eng- lish, taught by Miss Brais, included letter writing, grammar, and thestudyof words, as well as the read- ing of A Tale of Two Cities” and Julius Caesar. The juniors were kept busy reading and discuss- ing different types of novels, along with the reading of stories in their literature book and studying gram- mar. Their work was supplemented with the reading and discussing of the Reader’s Digest. Senior English isan elective course taken main- ly by those who plan to go on to school. The seniors studied, the finer partsof English grammar, and com- position. They studied Macbeth” in class, and were required to read one additional Shakespearean play. 38 Home Economics An important part of any woman's life is home- making, a subject which the girls in Miss Mangold's home economics classes really take seriously. Students all over the school buildingenjoy the aromas of home-cooked food, but the lucky girls in the foods classes get to eat, too! Experiencing burned fingers (and once in a while burned cooking) does not discourage these girls from learning much about the preparation, serving, and nutritive value of foods. Cooking students also take pride in serving meals to other classmates. Clothing classes, besides learning to cut and sew, study fabrics and materials, their uses and adaptabilities. They also learn to care for the clothes they already have and to vary them with accessories. In a world progressing with the speed of a shooting star, the comforts and necessities of home economics should not be neglected. The food and clothing classes are gaining a valuable amount of knowledge in this field. 39 Industrial Arts Industrial Arts is an elective course offered to boys all four years of high school. Their freshmen year the boys study welding, mechanical drawing, electricity and woodworking. The next year they choose two of these four divisions and further their knowledge of the course. The third and fourth years they study only one of the divisions the entire year. 40 Caesar crossed the Delaware. I must be translating this wrong; that was George Washington. I can't concentrate on tomorrow's lesson. Jeepers! I would hate to go to class tomorrow unprepared, but I was trying to get Caesar across the Delaware--oh, I mean the Rubicon..., Maybe I better get back to Caesar and the forms of to be --a fui!! Speech Ask any student about the new course for which they all innocently signed up in September. They have just three words; Speeches! Speeches! Speeches! Also, you may ask any of them any questions which you may have about the construction, maintenance, and operation of a ”motorcicle--cycle. They rode this highly mechanized vehicle through discussion, debate, and radio work. Our Christmas program was greatly enhanced by the talent exhibited by the budding dramatic artists, who appeared in full bloom in their spring presentation of a three-act play. Mathematics Will any of us forget the peculiar antics of the trig and solid geometry students? Especially the way they used to sit in study hall and stare first at the floor, then the ceiling, and then hurriedly made a few scratches on a piece of paper--scratches which we imagine were supposed to resemble a picture of the room! Besides drawing these little pictures and playing with their toys (slide rules and geometric solids they made of paper), these students learned the meanings of such words as: icosahedron, logarithm, and parallelpiped. The plane geometry students had their playthings too, such as compasses, straightedges, and protractors. We can't help wondering about poor Dick Pullins. Did he ever find out how to spell isosceles? Most of the freshmen took either algebra or general mathematics. After having frantically searched for one year, we have just one question, did any of the algebra students ever find that x they were always looking? 42 Science Science is an important subject in the lives of almost all students. The majority of them take general science during their freshman year, getting a taste of things to come. One of these things is biology, a subject studied primarily by sophomores. For many students chemistry is the high SDOt of high school life. Any- one who has taken this subject goes away with scents of carbon tetrachloride and sulphur dioxide ringing in his nostrils. The very ambitious study physics when they are seniors. Science has always been an interesting course, but now in the atomic age it is a vital one as well. Here in school young scientists can learn the fundamen - tals, preparing themselves for further education in this field. 43 Physical Education BOYS’ P.E. Boys’ Physical Education is a required course for every boy in school who is not engaged in a major sport. Coach John Kiick is the instructor of these classes. In the early fall and late spring classes meet outside and participate in such sports as touch football and soft ball. During the winter the boys play basketball and have classes in health. GIRLS’ P.E. Under the tutelage of Miss Marilyn Morgan, the girls learned to play deck tennis, basketball, soccer, ping pong, badminton, and softball. Because of the fine and varied equipment which was purchased this year for the physical education department, such sports as golf, valleyball, tennis were able to be added to the agenda. We even studied the fundamentals of social dancing, for a time. Many of the boys came down to the gym and took advantage of this instruction. 44 Social Science The courses included in social science are civics, world history, U.S. history, geography and mental hygiene. Civics and U.S. history are re- quired for graduation and are taken during the junior and senior years. We learned, in these two classes, not only the general overall history of our country, but also the functions of our government. World history is an elective course usually offered to sopho- mores. This year's work progressed from a study and discussion of the ancient civilizations of the more important countries of today’s world. Mental hygiene and geography were offered in alternate semesters. Geography, of course is the study of the physiography and topography of countries of the earth. Mental hygiene was a new course this year, which, we predict, will be in great demand in the future. 45 CHORAL DEPARTMENT In September of ’52 the old chorus members met again to enjoy the new year under the direction of a new leader. Miss Mary Taylor. We had also collected several new freshmen members. We began as a mixed chorus that met every day. Our officers were elected as follows; President---..................................... Janet Wilson Vice-President --------------------------------- Marvin Rau Sec., Treas., Reporter-------------------------- Shirley Dey Librarian -------------------------------------- Luann Waddell Director----------------------------------------Miss Mary Taylor Pianist ----------------------------------------Janet Wilson In October we arranged a girl’s chorusthat met on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the mixed ensemble met. We also organized a girls’ ensemble, which sang for the Senior Play in November and the G. A. A. Banquet in January. On November 28 and 29, our chorus was represented at All-State Chorus at the University of Illinois by Suzanne Baker, Peggy Waddell, and Janet Wilson. Our Christmas Program was presented on December 21, 1952. It was composed of a mixed en- semble, a soloist, and a girls’ chorus, accompanied by a brass e; -emble. We worked our singing in with a pantomine which proved to be very effective. Last, but not least, we worked in contests. Our girls' chorus was entered in a contest and Suzanne Baker won a medal for the solo which she sang at the District Contest. 47 48 OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Librarians Deraid Morthland Robert Maske Elizabeth Watkins Mary F.

TRACK TEAM 54 A basketball sails through the air and swishes into the net. Much shout- ing and laughter follows as one of the members of the Girl's Athletic Association adds another two points to the score. During the year, these fiery G. A. A. sports enthusiasts sponsored and participated in basketball, volley ball, deck tennis, soft ball, soccer, attended a Play Day at Bement, and held various social functions highlighted by the G. A. A. banquet on October 18. At the end of each year there are a number of required points which each girl must have in order to be eligible for an award. Each girl who has been in the organization four years and has a total of two thousand points is eligible for a State Emblem Award. 55 3. M. -A- Remember that dreamy homecoming music? The glittering Christmas tree? The F.H.A . spent many pleasant hours decorating for that great event and many sleepy minutes undecorating. The style show and impressive candlelight installation service were part of the organization's activities also. Those keys and scrolls decorating F. H. A . pins are another part of our program- mere members with degrees. Proud as we are of everything we've done this year we are even prouder of our name. The Future Homemakers of America. 56 3. 3. -J. This year found the F.F.A . judging poultry, grain, stock, and bears! The bears appeared during the F.F.A.'s trip to Minnesota. Members attended fairs and state conventions, and sponsored awards for the improvements of litters and crops. The new shop was a great addition to the F.F.A.'s program. The club contributed money for new equipment, and painted the walls and ceiling, not to mention the floor, of the new building. 57 58 C e K2 ! If ff t— 59 unior A girl rushed down the steps. I got it! And so on-lookers knew that the cast for the Junior play was chosen. After the first excitement wore off, hard work began. Night after night, while consuming gallons of pop and tons of popcorn and candy, the actors smoothed out every rough edge. Then the big night, April 3-4 arrived. Oh, I hope no one forgets his lines. There was a sudden flurry when a fuse blew out. Then no time to worry, the lights dimmed, the curtains slid back, A-Feudin' Over Yonder was in motion. The cast members were: Mountain Maggie------ Maw Fry-------------- Emm Fry-------------- Izzie Fry------------ Clem Fry------------- Rosie Belle Fry------ Aunt Harry Hornhonker- Becky Mae Hornhonker- Willy Hornhonker..... Pappy Popoff-......... Zeke Popoff---------- The Travelin’ Preacher Margie Streight ----- Suzi Baker ------Jane Herr --- Keith Totten - Harold Holmes Janet Lehn - Pat McClure Mary Hildabrand -- Donald Smith ----Roger Flach .....Don Flach - Holmes Scheck Happily, everyone laughed at the right times; the play was considered quite successful by all who attended. Much of the credit for our success goes to our able director Miss Marilyn Morgan. 60 The play produced on November 6 and 7, was decidedly a hit with all who attended. It initiated a year of springtly, entertaining dramatic production. We shall all remember the catastrophic hap- penings of too many people impersonating the poet Mr. Shakespeare because Jane was too ashamed to admit that she had forgotten to mail the fateful letter to Mr. Shakespeare. The cast members were: Mr. Thomas---------------- Mrs. Thomas--------------- Freddie Thomas------------ Jane Thomas--------------- Betty Thomas-------------- Johnny Johnston----------- Bertie-------------------- Georgie------------------- Mrs. Du Val--------------- Gus Smith----------------- Ladies of the Club Sylvia Buckley Liz Watkins Ruth Brown Margaret McGeorge -- John Usherwood - Luann Waddell ------Bob Maske ----Janet Wilson ...... Kay Kirby ------Jack Keller -----Shirley Dey Mary Ann Centers .....- Jean Hurst -----Charles Kull The committes were made up of the remaining members of the class. Although these people re- ceived no special recognition the play would surely not have prospered so well had they not worked so diligently. Of course we cannot forget the patient and careful guidance of Miss Aline Hostler, our director. She worked many long hours getting the play cast in shape for the big night. As a result of all our hard work we turned out a play which was considered quite successful. 61 _JJomecomin One of the highlights of each year is the homecoming celebration. This year's Blue Moon dance, decorated with a silver Christmas tree, moons, and stars, was held Dec. 6 in the high school gymnasium, with Fred A they and his band providing the music. The highlight of the evening was the crowning the seniors' candidate for queen. Miss Pat Lichtenberger, and her escort, Ray Roger; F.H.A . president, Liz Watkins, and Harold Holmes; junior queen candidate, Pat Clure, and Johnny Williams; sophomore queen candidate Carolyn Litchtenberger, and Deraid Morthland; and the freshman candidate for queen, Gloria Alsup, and her escort. Bob Westen. The joint Junior-Senior Prom Committee consisting of four junior students of Kenny and four junior students of Warrensburg-Latham had their first meeting to plan this all-important event at Kenny High School in the first week of February. There was some disagreement as to whether or not we would continue to have a banquet preceeding the prom and it was decided that each school could have a private banquet if they wished, but that they would jointly plan only a prom at which they would serve hors de oveurs and punch throughout the dance. The representatives were; Jane Abbott, Bob Abbott, Sharon Brady, and Barbara Cutright from Kenny; and Suzi Baker, Janet Lehn, Jack Keller, and Keith Totten from Warrensburg- Latham. Mr. Smith and Miss Baker from Kenny and Mr. Ligon and Mr Glasscock along with Mr. Allen the superintendent of the district attended all meetings and helped to guide the com- mittees decisions. 63 'V’n S „ ,V a.
