When the nine o'clock bell rang, we went to our desks to see what was going to take place next. Mr. LeDoux introduced himself, Mrs. Pauline Hackamack, and Miss Faith Saunders. After introducing them, he had the Freshman class introduce themselves. Somehow we managed to get our names out without having heart failure or fainting from being scared. We started out with the largest class in school, the pupils numbering nine. Their names being Esther Ann Lillard, Virginia Nesbitt, Frances Hafer, Virginia Harrison, Vincel Bronstine, Earl Wayne Fishback, Marvin Ridgely, Henry McClain and Norman Briscoe. A few weeks after school got in full swing, we gained one more boy, Neil Rebo. During the year we lost Frances Hafer, who went to live in Chicago and Vincel, who moved to Lewistown. We also lost Henry for a short time. The next September we came up the stairs again and found that we had lost Virginia Nesbitt to Lewistown School. We had left in our class, Esther Ann Lillard, Virginia Harrison, Norman Briscoe, Marvin Ridgely, Earl Wayne Fishback, Henry McClain and Neil Rebo. Again our teachers were Mrs. Hackamack, Miss Saunders and Mr. LeDoux. In the fall of '49 we came upstairs to find that we had some new teachers and another girl in our class, Oneida Mae Walker from Luray High School. And our new teachers were: Mrs. Beulah Gould, Norman Lee Merrell, and Edward Miller. We had the old stand by Mr. LeDoux. We also had new subjects offered. For example, typing for Juniors, speech, business arithmetic and driver training. During the year we lost Neil Rebo to Kahoka High School; however, he later enlisted in the Navy and is now stationed in Washington. Last fall (’50) we came trudging up the stairs once more thinking that this would be our last year of drudgery ; however, I imagine we will all hate to leave W. H. S. in one sense of the matter, as well as be glad it is all over. Our class now consists of Oneida Mae Walker, Virginia Harrison, Esther Ann Lillard, Earl Wayne Fishback, Norman Briscoe, Henry McClain, and Marvin Ridgely. We had as teachers Mrs. Gould, Mr. Merrell, Mr. A1 Pabst, and Mr. LeDoux. This is the history of our high school days. We have had a great deal of fun at W. H. S. These days will always be remembered. 14 —Virginia Harrison One nice and sunshiny day, when I had returned from a tour of the world in the year of 1963, 1 sat down in a rocking chair to think over my wonderful tour. Just then I fell asleep, and had a dream about the former Williams town High School Senior Class walking down the road of life. The first person that came into sight was Virginia Harrison. She had found a good place to make a living with her husband on the farm where she had lived all her life. She had had a set of triplets. They all had black hair and were mischievous as she used to be. The next person to come into view was Esther Ann Lillard. She had been to an office where she had been working very hard all day. She has just walked into the front door of her home to greet her betterhalf and to cook supper for him. She was a very good cook--anyway he thought so. Oneida Mae Walker was the next person to be seen walking down that lonely road of life. She had been engaged about twice, but wasn't married yet. Another person of the Senior class was Earl Wayne Fishback. He had bought him a John Deere tractor and was going to Putt’' down the road of life on a “Putt-Putt. Another boy that had found a place in society was Norman Briscoe. He was still going with the girl of his high school days. They were engaged, but he had started to an engineering school and had left her at home. That Marvin Ridgely was a lonesome guy. He was still going with them gals losing his rest. He just couldn’t find one to satisfy him. The last but not least, to come into view was Henry McClain. He was still on the farm with his father after returning from the Navy. When my dream vanished, I found that I’d never forgotten my happy days at the school of my choice. --Henry McClain Mazadene: “I wonder if it’s five o’clock yet?’’ Marguerite: “No it can’t be. Mazadene: “Why?” Marguerite: “Because I’m supposed to be home at five, and I’m not there yet. W. H. S. Billy Tucker, a drug clerk: “Cecil, did you kill any moths with those moth balls I sold you the other day? Cecil: “No, Bill, I tried for five hours, but I couldn’t hit a one. 15 We, the Senior Class of 1950-’51 of Williamstown High School, Lewis County, State of Missouri being of sound mind and body, do here ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. Carl Wayne wills his way of lovin’ in class to Howard Junk. Watch out Howard! You might smother. Norman wills his ability to talk when he shouldn’t to Delores. Use it so that no one will run over you, Delores. Virginia wills her ability to type to Kenneth Fishback. Try to use it, Kenny. ’’Punk” wills his athletic ability to Dale Lillard. Henry wills his lost girl friend to any boy in California for one week Oneida Mae wills her “Walker” to Wayne Bourgeois. Esther Ann wills her ability to hang on to the boys to Marilyn Pierce. To Mr. LeDoux, our sponsor, we will our thanks for putting up with us for four years. To the faculty we will our thanks for the knowledge they have tried to pound into our heads, and also for the times they patiently listened to us fuss about having so much work to do. Marvin wills his dates to Harold Nichols. Don’t stay out too late, Harold, ‘Punk” never did? ????????????? Virginia wills her ability to stamp her foot and tell people what she thinks to Junior Brown. Norman wills his steady girl to Billy Tucker for one school day. Don't worry, Bill, “Kaley” will take over that evening. Esther Ann wills Earl Wayne to any girl who wants him for one Saturday night. Get in early, though, they do? ???????? Oneida Mae wills her ability to ask questions to Cecil. Henry wills his love to a certain brown headed girl in Illinois. To the Board of Education we will our thanks for letting us use the building for the past four years. Earl Wayne wills his ability to mock a woodpecker to Dean. Signed: Witnessed by: end. 16 Up rugged paths and steep we’ve climbed To reach the mountain smiling, Nor turned aside for pleasure's call. So honeyed and beguiling. Each heart was bound by purpose deep, Like bands of steel entwining, To reach the prize on heights above, A prize in radiance shining. The heights are reached toward which we toiled In dark and sunny weather. Then must we part forgetting all The days thus passed together? O, say not so, as in the past Class spirit we kept burning, Let now a purpose quite as strong Mark every year’s returning. A purpose deep and well-defined Within each heart’s recesses To help the world along, nor pause For pleasure's false caresses. To freely give the world our best, To this our word is plighted, In this, as in all other things We stand a class united. OUR CLASS FLOWER W - is for worthwhile work; H - is for higher standards of living; I - is for intelligent thinking; T - is for training well; E - is for everlasting hope; R - is for responsibility; O - is for organization; S - is for standing up for one’s rights; E - is for education. —Oneida Mae Walker 17 20 We, the Junior class of 1950 and 1951 walked up the stairs into high school (1948-’49). It was a scaring moment for Donna Joy and Karl Bishoff from down stairs and Nancy McFarland and Mary Owens from Fairview school. But with the three efficient teachers: Faith Saunders, Pauline Hackamack and Louis LeDoux, we soon felt as if we were as sophisticated as the Seniors. Donna and Karl were both in the Junior play while Karl was also in the Senior play. Donna, Nancy, and Karl all three played basketball. When the next year came forth we were 'Snappy Sophomores , with changes made in the school and teachers. Mr. LeDoux remained while Mrs. Beulah Gould, Mr. Norman Merrell, and Mr. Edward Miller were new. We were still the smallest in number, but nevertheless Donna and Karl were chosen Queen and King of the P. T. A. Carnival of 1950. Donna and Mary were both in the Senior play. Donna and Nancy made the first team in basketball while Mary was score keeper for the girls. Karl also played basketball. Nancy was in the Junior play. Now here we are Jolly Juniors . We were happy and proud to gain Geraldine Stotler from St. Patrick. We gained Mr. A1 Pabst in the place of Mr. Edward Miller. Donna, Nancy Geraldine and Karl were all fortunate enough to be one of the main players on both ball teams. Donna was elected captain of the girls’ team. We were also glad to give our Junior class play Who Killed Aunt Caroline so successfully. Next year we hope to be the sophisticated Seniors of Williamstown High School. --Donna Joy CLASS OFFICERS President--------------—Geraldine Stotler Vice-President — ----- Mary Owens Secretary---------------Karl Bishoff Treasurer------- Donna Joy Reporter----------------Nancy McFarland Class Colors----------------Green and White Class Flower----------------White Rose Class Motto----------------- To Have Friends, Be One. 22 MARGUERITE ELLISON JAMES LOGAN BOBBY MILLER KENNETH FISHBACK MAZADENE MORRIS BILLY CONEY LYSLE BEVANS BILLY CARL LASSWELL 23 MARILYN PIERCE RICHARD MORRIS HOWARD JUNK HAROLD NICHOLS FRONT ROW: Marilyn Pierce, Marguerite Ellison, Sponsor: Mrs. Beulah Gould, Mara dene Morris.
