Some were trying to appear dignified and worldly-wise while others with a n1et's get it over withn attitude, greeted dkifriends and inspected new teachers. The second week of school, we seniors gave the freshmen their innitial initiation into the secondary school system. The ngreenn freshie boys were compelled to wear excess make- up on their faces, eat onions and wear onions and garlic a- round their necks as ornaments. If odor has any power, the Nfreshiasn were off to a 'strong' start. The freshmen girls wore 'abbreviated' costumes and their hair hung in pigtails. Glamour wasn't the word to describe these young lassies. To climax the freshmen's entrance to our high school, we enter- tained them with a party in the gymnasium on Friday night. Since we were upperclassmen, we feltwe were entitled to a day of recreation while our other lower classmates remained in school. A self declared holiday'wEEIe others have to Wong always seems more enjoyable. In the morning of this parti- cular October 'Sklp Dayn, the senior boys went hunting. They say they hunted for squirrels but we wonder? All of our ch s and our sponsor attended the show, nGone with the Wind',that afternoon in Pittsburg. The last of November,' Weir High had its annual school carnival. The event of great interest connected with the carnival each year is the 'Popularity Queen Contestn. Our senior representative, Gloria Kelso, won this honor. I Our class pictures were taken early kxthe fall and from the results, we either had a very good photographer or we just photograph well. Who knows, we might be new Hollywood material waiting to be ndiscoveredn. One of our classfhmeos liked a certain senior g1rl's picture mamuch that he ordered and paid for one of her for his 'very own'. December was an eventful month for the seniors. We received our class rings about the first of tnemonth of our class play, nMiss Smartyw was presented on December the seventeenth. The cast was as follows: Janice Burbank . . . . . . . . . . .Lillys Wisby Professor Erasmus Eberfield. . . .Darrel Mishler Pleasant Hickey. Elizabeth Smart. Shelley Smart. . Brant Robson . .

Everyonegpt enough to eat that night, how about it boys? The Yuletide season came quickly and with it, two weeks and two days vacation. Semester Tests! nM1dnight Oiln was burned by some conscientious students, others wished they had crammed a little when they received their grades. With these terrible nightmares over, mabegan our last semester of our hyguschool career. Our invitations were ordered and we were measured for our caps and gowns so most of us must be going to reach our aim---graduation! J S The Juniors have promised us a banquet if priorities don't interfere with the purchase of enough food to feed a class with a good appetite. They could feed two certain senior boys cocoa ----- they often had a contest between them- selves to see which could consume the most. Mary Louise Bernardi won the Annual Queen Contest. Be- cause of her salesmanship, Mary once again has brought honor to our class. uQueen Maryn, we the senior class salute you! Last semester tests for seniors will be given May the sixth and the seventh. We hope we all pass! Baccalaurate is May the ninth and our Com encement is May the twelfth. Memories-Memories of pals, of classmates, jokes, stunts, in fact everything we have done together will never com- Eletely fade away but will be recalled from time to time as we journey through the years. Friends will drift apart but memories will still remain. LAST WILL AND TESTAHENT We, the Senior Class of Weir High being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, in manner and form as follows: To Thelma Hitchcock, MaryIu,Bernardi leaves her sophomore heart throb.

Witness our hand and seal on this fourteenth day of May in this year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty three. Witnesses: ' , : f g Signed: !6aZiQA4gigg:E? CLASS PROPHECY Jan, 7, 1945 Weir, Kansas Dear Mrs. Shrader: You know, New Year's Eve I was playing our radio telivis- ion set, and what do you think? I saw and heard every one of our old acquaintances, the senior class of 19451 So I thought I would write and tell you of them. First there was the commercial, vividly acted and read by Mary Louise Bernardi. She was such a good saleslady, that I went right out and bought a bottle of nGurgle-Gurgle-Goon baby powder, her rivals product. Then there was the music of 'J. D. and his Jumpin' Jive,n known by us as our old friend, John Dea Hartman. Now the Mas- ter of Ceremonies took over, The Little Abner of the Airlanes, Jack Cote. Oh yes, he still has the same distorted sense of humor he had in school. Now this was a quiz program, something like the old UDoub- le or Nothing' program we listened to way back then. They ask- ed each contestant his occupation,so I got a pretty good chance to get the facts on what our old classmates were doing. The first one was John Kilger Eugene Donohoe, who was a pilot of a Bl9. Next was Com ander and Mrs. Thomas R. Coles. Tommy may be Com ander in Chief of the U.S. Navy, but he missed his ques- tion. Mrs. Coles, whom I recognized as the former Joyce Vine- yard gave the correct answer to a question about nHow to hold your husband.n Then there was Melvin Vineyard, who as his occupation gave: ndemonstrating tractors.n I thought perhaps he got his start by demonstrating one to Grace Harding. Now we were treated to a delightful intermission with a song by Camille Pommedeteere, whom I recognized in a glance as Betty Simone. First after the song, which received prolonged applause, was the former Mary stark, now a housewife, and also, she added, the mother of 12 healthy children. Then there was Thadene Blair who is a private secretary. When asked about her boss it appeared that it was Victor Ma- ture! Next was Sergeant Darrel Mishler, of the U. S. Marines. He was followed by Robert Hubbard, a hard working husband. In the background appeared Carol Turpin, keeping a watchful eye on nHump.' ' Next there was quite a celebrity, Danny Schuberger, coach of the Weir,Kansas basketball team, which has won four straight state tournaments. As his companion there was Gloria Kelso, Dean of Women of K.S.T.C. And who do you think was next? It was Kathryn Kelso, edi- tor of nAdvice to the Lovelornn column in the New York Daily Mirror! Next GD the list was Mrs. Henry McLean-Brown, wife of a prosperous farmer. Then there was Charles Ross, part owner of nRoss, Ross, and Ross Modern Laundry.n We were then entertained by Roy Scott and Virgil Sullivan, two well known cowboy romeos, stars from Warner Brothers. I was surprised to see Andrew Anderson, who was introduced as the leading expert on first-aid in this nation. With him was his secretary, Nora Harris. As always Andrew was slow but S'l1I'So Now a big burley man strode upon the stage. He was intro- duced as Vernon Curtis, 'The Worldfs Most Perfectly Developed Man.' My, has he changed! With him was the leading society de- butante, Lorene Kruse-Rockerfeller. Then there was Clarence Ticeson and Kansas Christian own- ers and operators of the leading car wrecking shop in New York. Immediately after, by way of contrast, came the famous Irma Mae Fudge, recently chosen the nPlatinum Blonde Queen of the Air- lanes.' Then there was Franklin McClure, who adds with a touch of Texas in his talk,'I'm owner and head cowpuncher of a l0,000 acre ranch.' e Next- was at career woman, Mrs. Albert Cherne, dwhom you will remember as Lillys Wisby. After her came Bill and Dale Mason, who reluctantly admitted they were teaching a night course in 'How to tell if a man is part wolf.n Next was Bob Bliss, who is still a bachelor, but his lit- tle address book is still filled with girls names. Then there was Glen Duncan. He has worked himself to the head of the Parsons Defense Plant, which is engaged in manufac- turing dud bombs. Last, and least was Frank Kukovich, who claimed to be the world's largest midget. Well, that was all our classmates, I expect you're pretty tired reading my gossip so I'll sign off. A former student, Billy J. Howland P.S. Oh, yes, I have just been made UDr. G1llespie's New As- sistant. ,,m,G,, , .ge WT, uniors QE .-nf W x H Q l'V gi N Bob Knapp, Pres.

This victory over Arcadia gave Weir the right to enter the State Tournament at Eureka.
