To say that the school appreciates the effort is a gross understatement, since the pleasures derived through possession of the book are not only immediate, but will extend many years into the future. Ie offer congratulations for a job well down. To the seniors we extend best wishes for happiness and success in the years ahead. A high school education is s good start toward that goal, a foundation on which you may build. You have a right to be proud of your achievement. le are sure that you will nuke us increasingly proud of you in the years to come. John I.

That was in the fall of 1939 Remember the first morning we came to school, we d1dn't realize there were so manv other little boys and girls After a year with Mrs Dunbar we were advanced to Miss Braldwood's room That year new play ground equipment was installed and I think Miss Braid wood was quite discouraged with the task of trying to keep her darling little students off the equipment until it was properly installed And so Miss Braidwood with a sigh of relief promoted us to Miss McCoy's room There the girls learned that they were much too young to use lip stick, rouge, and eye shadow The boys learned they could use tooth paste instead of shaving cream and Pop's razor for a few years more Miss 0'Neal was ready to spend two years with us in the fifth and sixth grades scaldlng us with knowledge There learned that by fastening notes to your pencils and then loaning them to your friends, you could pass of pencils Next we were to be cleansed of our childish ways, and Miss Ruggles under took that task in the seventh grade She passed us to the eighth grade where Mrs Neely gave us the necessary information to enter high school Well, at last we were going to leave grade school We bid our teachers goodbye and went on our way When we entered high school we found out the difference three months made The day we graduated from grade school we felt big and grownup, but as we entered high school we felt as little and green as first graders Our freshman year was spent attracting attention and seeing who could blow the biggest bubble with their bubble gum When we were sophomores we spit out our bubble gum and began to grow up le began to realize more of the reality of life when one of our classmates was killed in an automobile accident We really grew up our Junior year when we presented our junior play, 'Scatterbra1nN, and gave the seniors a banquet Now we are seniors! We have given our play, 'Brother Goose' Many friendships were made the first day of school which still remain le did not realize then what an important phase of life we entered Maybe we do not fully realise it now, but some day we will This ends the history of the class of '51 As the years go by new faces will be seen and we will be but a part of the past and be forgotten, but we will never forget the days we spent at Weir H1 Your old classmate, 0 . we , notes easily. Much to our sorrow Miss 0'Nea1 acquired quite a collection Pro luecq Weir, Kansas May 16, 1951 My dear Jay, I really hated to attend the 1951 class reunion given by Mrs Mary Colcord without you, but since you are working as a diesel engineer in Chicago I know you couldn't have left your job for our class dinner I'll try to give you some of the details about our old classmates so you won't feel completely left out Sue Van Houten and Ray Brown are co-owners of the famous Brown Derby stables in Louisville, Kentucky As you may guess these stables were named after our former Weirite, Mr Brown Sue runs the financial and bookkeeping end of the business very efficiently thanks to Miss G901'S9'3 C0mIl01'0i81 courses in 1950 51 Mr and Mrs Joseph J Lapping are now very prominent members of high society ln Memphis, Tenn M s Lapping is of course remembered as Miss Mary Ann Myers of the class of 1951 Benny Harley realised her ambition and is now an airline stewardess with Trans Ibrld Airlines and the wife of a Spanish millionaire, whom she met on one of her flights to Madrid, Spain We were honored with the presence of Carolyn Pryor of New York City She has just been named 'Secretary of the year' by the Employers National Union Corky Jones' training in Barney's Pharmacy paid off well as he is now chief pharmacist in the famous Blake Hospital in Los Angles, operated by our hospital Martha Ohmsieder of the gorgeous red hair is a sophisticated model i Paris, France Martha's dream of a nursing career flew out the window when she took care of a Frenchman once, and he proposed modeling and marriage as her careers I might add that she accepted both Freda Smith Carr, her husband and two children reside in Salem, Gregon where Mrs Carr is an outstanding woman philosopher Don Brown now lives in Hawaii where he spends most of his time lying on the sand and winking at all the native girls Just like old times, isn't it? Betty Thompson is a prominent private detective in Texas, and she has just solved that perplexing case, 'What Happened to Kilroy?' You remember how Marjorie Uber used to swing her baseball bat she's still doing it for now she manages the St Louis Cardinals All Girl baseball team They are now holding down first place in the National League Vivian Bennett is secretary and Joe Markham is business manager of the baseball club Joe hasn't ever gotten up enough nerve to propose to Vivian, but Marjorie is doing her best to play 'Cupid You see how famous our class has become, only I've been too busy making a full time career of being Mrs Jay Vineyard to become famous Your loving wife, yzzziyj CgcZL22!G old classmate Dr. Betty Blake.
